The letters contained within these covers stand on their own, but will require many readings in order to finally flow with the ease intended. Be assured, the letters themselves contain a unique energy that must be adjusted to. It has taken me a year to feel their message properly, and every reading brings with it yet another level of insight. I believe most of you who have acquired this book will find this to be the case.

The story that follows is true, and most likely I am still living it as you read this. During the time between receiving this material and getting it printed my life has changed in the deepest of ways, and my part in this story serves mostly as a backdrop of sorts. So consider this: I am you, and the changes you will read about that have taken place in my life are already completed. You can follow along knowing that it has happened. The bottom line is that these letters have changed, or accompanied a change, in everyone who has read them. There is a change occurring in this world, and this is one more story about that change.

I am a middle-aged man born in a New England city by the sea. Nearly thirty-five years ago at the age of fifteen, I experienced an encounter with high-tension electrical wires in a tree that caused quite a ruckus in my life, and I was never the same again. Yet even before that incident, for as long as I can remember, I had already been in possession of an intuitive faculty that never occurred to me was not present in everyone around me in the same way. It never occurred to me growing up that everyone around me did not see or hear or feel what I did in any given situation. I was often confused at their actions based upon what I 'felt' to be the available information. At some point in my journey across the stage called life-on-planet-Earth I called out and demanded to be heard; demanded an explanation about the how and why of this place. Called out to whom, you might ask. Well, that's an important part of this story, since all calls are heard, and the requests made are always answered.

Another aspect of this story is what I call 'promises-kept' - and it has to do with elements deep within our mind that are continuously interacting and accompanying us on our journey here. Perhaps this aspect may best be established by the thought of: "Where is the mind / that is having the thoughts / that is telling the story / that produces the movie / that you are now living / and believe to be / your life?" It is this relationship between the mind - your mind - and the life, appearing live on stage Earth, you now find yourself within which forms the basis of this story. For promises made within the mind must be kept, and in the keeping of the promise is the telling of the story that waits behind each and every life. Within the mind lies the answer.

Most agree upon the realness of life here. As part and parcel of being normal - something I struggle with at times - the outside world takes over and we become immersed in a life of interactive play. Participation with others that are in agreement with the plan leads to an acting-out of details that is beyond imagination, and sometimes appears as unbelievable. But once conceived of in that incredibly powerful mind, some part, some aspect of that mind must allow the experience to be achieved. In other words, once thought, and if chosen, it will arrive in living Technicolor with an interactive component that hooks into the emotional realm of your body human in such a way that it becomes second nature, and takes on a life of its own. All of this is quite rapid in its proceedings and very addictive. What emerges is a "wrap-around-surround-sound-movie-theater-of-mind" that is completely and totally interactive, and once engaged, is given permission to run on its own.

Suddenly here you are, appearing live in a movie that has taken on a life of its own, and sometimes feeling forced to continue playing long after the thrill is gone. For once the story becomes real, it will strive to survive no matter what. The power of that mind makes an amazing partner, but it can all too easily become a harsh master. Once imbedded in thoughts carrying consequences, we discover how effects follow cause as surely as death follows birth. What we find here, on stage Earth, are fabricated, self-made projections upon a screen and filled with an importance that wishes to continue its existence in a story line rarely understood in its entirety. In fact to remember fully where you came from and how all of this actually began is to undo the very trance that made all of this possible - as is has become.

A virtual-reality matrix of life is established and maintained through the telling of your personal truth, upon the screen-of-life by a technique called "projective-perception." Projective-perception: a fancy way of restating the fact that you will always see exactly what it is you believe. Period. What is in your mind and held as a belief is projected upon the screen-of-life to be fully experienced as real. These projected story lines make up your personal truth and then collect upon a larger screen of shared reality collectively referred to as life itself on planet Earth. Just keep in mind (so to speak) the importance of the screen upon which all this is projected, because that is where it all appears to be happening - by design - from within the mind hidden behind the blind of forgetfulness.

Well, this is one more story of peeking behind that blind and promising to remember what was seen. With lots of help this story has emerged, and I hope it assists another to remember what the heck is really going on here. For once we look upon the screen, and accept the rules that make it real, we enter into a world of perception that, once engaged, must be played out. By accepting the images placed upon the screen of life as being the cause of why and what life is, we become a player in a game that now has a life of its own. We allow the image upon the screen - a projected thought of the mind we are - to become the cause of our experience. The gift of perception (seeing is believing) is that we actually believe in and look to the images upon the screen as the very cause of why we are the way we are. Without ever knowing from where those images come, we allow them to be the reason why we do what we do. This world of perception could - actually can - be any thing we wish. A theme park of the grandest design not so amusing for some now held captive within a story not to their liking.

The same mind that had the thought that produced this world as it has now become is struggling to hold our attention. We hold the key because we are the key - we actually are the critical piece in the maintaining and manifestation that occurs upon the screen of shared belief. Behind the screen that makes up our shared reality awaits the original screen that can be activated if we so choose. Upon the screen or stage of life an aspect of our mind is about to arrive and act-out this choice; for out of love and given in love there is an answer to every question ever posed. In the acting out of choosing the original fabric, and the showing of the mind-set required to activate this screen, we will be shown that ultimately there is only one question: how all this could have happened. The answer: it is a thought made manifest within a story-line or mind-set that has now run its course, and could only have happened within this realm of perception: the world of wonder and illusion. Up until now, the understanding of how this world of perception truly operates has not been integrated into the storylines of most of the actors on stage. Yet all this time, tucked safely away in a corner of the mind awaiting recall, a memory lies within the soul and calls out its never-ending tune. "Wake-up; wake-up to what is real. It is here, within this memory, safe and sure and warm and filled with a touch of certainty that you are part of the All that is One. This has never changed, and never will. Within the Love of this memory lies your Truth. You are always here, safe within the mind and only wishing and pretending - actually projecting - to be where you now believe yourself to be. As you remember this Truth, so will you remember who you are."

It is the memory within the soul that I am devoted to finding. It is the memory held within the soul that I believe to be the origin and source of intuition, and I encountered mine on Friday - September 6, 1968, somewhere around 3:33 in the afternoon. I then promptly forgot it until an angel appeared in my life and offered me access to what I had put aside. So read along, if you will, for my story is our story, changed only to fit my needs. But once engaged, you will have to eventually go to the end, and in this case that end is the very beginning of the first story ever told. For in the beginning the thought was made manifest. We are that thought living as manifested, individual projections of mind that are engaged upon this interactive screen of life on Earth.

The memory I have been seeking all my life is the relationship between the Thinker-In-Light, or the actual Mind Itself and the thought-made-manifest that we find ourselves in and believe to be our truth. Between the two, the thinker and the thought, there lies a veil of forgetfulness that can be pierced in various ways and seen through, and death is one such way. In 1968 I pierced that veil only to return and forget once again. I have always been curious about the need to call it a "near-death" experience since, once examined, it became clear to me that my life as Billy Maney ended on that day, and what followed was a time-specific program that would end in my remembering. This story is just that - my call to remember.
