Journey of a lightworker

I have been in many positions living in two worlds so to speak for many years through out my life. My first wake up call when I was 9 years old. I was crossing a four lane highway in Ohio when I was hit by a oncoming car. I can only describe how I was carried through the air and heard a voice telling me it was not time yet, I was needed, I had work to do. At 9 years old I could not grasp the enormity of that situation. I knew that my perception of the world was different but I did not know how I would be changed.
I survived the car incident with a dislocated shoulder and a few sore spots. I can remember being gently placed on the pavement and feeling pain return to my body...the next thing I remember were Paramedics helping me into the ambulance. I can honestly say I was never the same since then.
I grew up knowing that there was more to this world that I saw in front of me on a daily basis. I knew that there were so many unanswered questions, yet I did not know where I would find those answers.
I started my quest for knowledge. I read lots of books on lots of subjects; psychics,hypnosis,paranormal,channeled material anything metaphysical.
On my 16th birthday we lay to rest my Grandfather. The night before he passed I was visited by him. He merely told me it was time for him to go home. I saw him very happy and at the time I thought home was going to be released from the hospital. It was a much special home he was talking about his true infinite home. It provided me with my second wake up call allowing me to know even stronger that life really is not how we perceive it to be.
Life unfolded as it does. I graduated college with a Bachelors of Science degree in Physiology. I began to live in what I call the sleeping world. I got a job in sales as a manager for a Jenny Craig weight loss center. I bought a nice suburban home in Chicago area. I married and divorced.  I worked two jobs to keep my home and through all of this still felt something was missing.  My questions were always in the back of my mind. What am I doing here? Where to I come from. Why am I needed? What work to I have to do? Where is my true home?
I started walking between worlds after September 11th 2001. The event caused me to question even more the purpose of what it all meant. I began reading again more metaphysical things and discovered my own innate abilities. I started to quiet my self and experience meditation. I started to see the world in a new perspective. I had to be of service,  and create my experiences from within.
When the student is ready the teacher will appear. I met my wife through common interest of metaphysical things. We shared talking about metaphysical things and formed a meditation group. We traveled together to Egypt and had a wonderful honeymoon. One week after coming home I was sent to the emergency room and discovered I had a blot clot in my leg and it was fatal if it traveled. I had to stay in the hospital for two weeks not being able to move until the blood clot dissolved. I call this one wake up number three from the Universe. I recovered just fine, and forgot all about the experience.  My wife and I had two beautiful healthy children and continued to start living our lives in the sleeping world again. We stopped meditating. We no longer talked about metaphysical things. We came to the realization in 2007 that the world was changing. We decided that we needed a change. We sold our nice suburban home in Chicago, and moved to small town in Henry IL for hopes of a simpler life. We again went back to sleep, we transferred jobs and made our money bought our things and raised our children. We again forgot about our spiritual roots.
Thank You universe I finally get it. In 2008 I again found my self in a life or death situation.  I had bowel obstruction that was causing a lot of pain and stopped everything in my body from a normal function.  I had to have emergency surgery or die if it would rupture.  I chose to live, however at the time my outlook was if it was my time then let it be.  I had the surgery and went through an agonizing recovery.  The blockage was corrected, but it was never known why this happened.  The doctors seemed to have no explanation for it.  After the surgery I developed pneumonia and again faced death if my condition did not improve.  In and out of drug induced coma's I began to experience the other side of the veil seeing and hearing visions of people and enjoying my non coherent state vs the conscious state.  I recovered from everything in time and was released after two long weeks in the hospital.  The recovery was even longer about three months before I could function normal and go back to work.  The time that I was off of work gave me time to really reflect on my life and put into perspective what quite literally I was ignoring in my life.  I began to realize how I was not moving ahead.  I was blocking my own flow.  I have discovered through my present work that the body gives symptoms very clearly of what needs to be different in our lives to stay on our true paths.  Here I was a 32 year old man with two near death episodes that all had to do with a blockage.  What was I not allowing through?  What was I blocking?
It came clear to me that life is meaning less unless we give it meaning.  I had to discover what truly gave my life meaning.  The money and things I accumulate do not define me. I discovered quite literally what does all this do for me when I can't take it with me when I cease to exist on this World.  What can I take into the next World?  I can take my experience. The joy and the pain I have caused. The love that I have shared. The service I have given to others and how I measure my difference and impact on this World, I choose to be a part of.
I awoke early on a October 14, 2008 this maybe a important day I have learned for a lot of people that are Lightworkers.  It was a day of supposed first contact which was channeled by Blossom Goodchild from the Galactic Federation of Light. It was a day that was supposed to change history and reality that we know of it.  I was so ready for it.  The morning of, I remember feeling a euphoric feeling a somewhat of a vibration throughout my body. Tingles all in my body, sort of like when you experience your hair on your arms stand on end.  I knew that something was different and if I did not see the change in my outside reality I knew within I was changing.  October 14, 2008 went by and the world did change the economy was collapsing.  It all seemed to be necessary for the sleeping world to wipe the sleep from their eyes and really take stock of what everything meant for them.  I began to understand this feeling I know I could have when every I wanted just by focusing and quieting my mind and receiving the vibration. I was beginning to see my circumstances in my life did not matter however it was my state of being that mattered.  I had the power within me to change the way I felt about any situation and see it in a different light.  I noticed how I gave my power away to other people when I let them effect my feelings.  If I simply do not react to their pain and anger it was pointless for any one to continue to feel that way, and the situations would just resolve themselves.  I started seeing myself as a observer of my life rather then the experiencer.  I understood that I create my own reality and if it is not how I want to see it, I have no one to look to except myself, no one to blame.  I started to become grateful for my days and experiences and played a game to find grace everyday in every way. 
I Chose to be in the awakening world vs. the sleeping world. I lost my full time job in Dec 2009, as I did I said goodbye to the sleeping world and hello to the creation of my new world.  The possibilities were endless.  I was discovering that all the knowledge that I was searching for in books and Internet was all within me I just had to find it.  Who would of thought I was actually searching for my true self.  I started to reflect back on my life and the experiences I had.  I began to realize the many things I have done; EMT, surgical tech, taking care of disabled, counseling people, leading people, talking and interconnecting with people in sales, public speaking and genuine care for people was grooming and preparing me for the ultimate choice of leaving the sleeping world and now living in the awakening world with all my spiritual power from within.
I have created this site to be of service to others.  I am grateful to share my journey in hopes of helping those who can avoid the wake up calls I have endured on my journey.  I know we all chose to be here at this time in earths history and I believe we are here to make a difference for the new earth we are here to create.  I understand that one can touch many, however many can touch a world.  I urge if you found this site remember your true meaning and your individual truths.  Share your journey so others can learn from your experience.  The world it so much brighter when we learn to share the light from within and work together to bring the transformation in our outside reality.
 From one light to another may we raise the frequency of this world to reclaim our true soul purpose to be infinite spiritual beings of light and love.

In Service of Light and Love,
