fromKahle/Austin Foundation  \n# Preface\n\nIt's a bright spring day as I look out of the window,Ihave Spotify playing and I'm in a reflective mood.Ican't believe 55 years have passed so quickly.When Ilook back over my life I realise how lucky I have beento witness the impossible and implausible.I have metmany wonderful people on my path who have bothinspired me,taught me and become good friends.  \nLet me tell you a bit about myself.  \nMany years have passed and I have walked downmany paths since I first began questioning life'smysteries.It was over forty years ago that a rather shyboy,different from other children,I was happy in myown thoughts and spent many hours just enjoying myown company.While most of my friends werediscovering football,girls and smoking I had a\"Eureka\"moment.  \nIt came about after buying a second-hand copy ofChariots of the Gods by Eric von Daniken at a localjumble sale my mother frequented looking forbargains.It leapt out at me from the bookstall and assoon as I arrived home I read it from cover to cover.That one book set me on a pathway to investigate,learn and discover many unexplained things about theworld we live in.  \nIt sparked my interest in UFOs and Aliens,ancienttechnology's and civilisation's,magic,witchcraft,thesupernatural and much,much more.But more than  \nthat,it made me think,it made me question and it sentme on a lifelong search for answers that continues tothis day.Those far off days were full of discovery,ofmagic and wonder as I went from one jumble sale tothe next looking for books on the supernatural,theparanormal,anything that would give me nuggets ofgold.I became a walking question mark asking manyquestions;why are we here?Is there a God?Is therereincarnation?Are UFOs/Aliens real?Is there life onother planets?What are Ghosts?  \nI felt what can best be described as an inner calling.It was as though I knew something deep inside mysoul but couldn't remember what it was but I just knewthere was more to life than this.I had what you couldcall visions as a boy and I also suffered nightmares andsleep paralysis.Years later I realised I was having myfirst glimpses of the unseen world(s)that surround us.  \nI used to think a lot,an awful lot to be honest and Istill do to this day.I am very analytical;being a VirgoI question everything.I vividly remember that I wouldawake in the night frozen with fear as the atmospherein my bedroom seemed to change,to become very stillalmost as though it was charged with some sort ofenergy or electricity.Lying in bed I used to hear a sortof clicking noise as though someone was walkingthrough the woods and the old,dead twigs werebreaking beneath their feet.I would become paralysedwith fear,sweating,I tried to cry out but couldn't asthe noises came closer and louder,eventually I would  \nyell out “MUMMMMM”and my mother would comerushing in the room explaining that I had a nightmare.On other occasions in the early hours of the morning Iwould dream such vivid dreams I could rememberevery detail.Often in colour,I would write themdown,something I do to this day.They are so real Ifeel I am sometimes witnessing some unseen world asan observer.I used to see strange shapes and coloursfloating around my bedroom as though they werefloating in water,strange creatures not unlike fish fromthe depths of the ocean,lights,and other weird stuff.My mum though I imagined it or dreamt it,but Ididn't,it was very real to me.  \nI also found that I had what today we would call asPast Life Recall.I could remember things from ourdistant past and see them in my minds eyes as though Iwas watching a television screen of moving images.One of my earliest “visions”was of the world beinglike an onion,made up of many layers and dimensionsall co-existing beside and inside each other but nonebeing aware of the dimensio","cbCaisBo9Mm3z2w5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisBo9Mm3z2w5","pdf",2295930,62,"English","# Preface\n##
