For me, it has been an act of courage to write and publish this book. Even under ordinary circumstances, it is not easy to stand behind your words and thoughts and to share them. The subject could be light hearted. Still, the writer must own it on the page. But this is no ordinary book. This is a Spirit Guide coming to me to speak through me with information for this planet, Earth. He speaks in the first person, as I am his scribe taking his dictation. This aspect is unusual, as most writers write in the first person, claiming every word. You might ask, “How do you hear him?” I will tell you “easily, clear as a bell when I hear him in meditation.” I have the gift of ESP; I am a sensitive. This is my invitation to greatness (Chapter 22 in this book). I accept the challenge. For me, an act of courage is greatness. When I think of greatness, I think of my dearest brother Joe, who was a veteran from the Vietnam war. I am no match for him! He is my hero. He fought so hard and suffered the rest of his life after the war from post-traumatic stress syndrome, as he was exposed to Agent Orange chemicals in the fields of Vietnam. I know what my brother Joe would say though, if he were alive today. He would say, “Go for it, Sis! Publish Dwellers on Two Planes. Share it now!” With all that said, it is my great honor to present teacher Rama, a teacher I know from my metaphysical study work; I am an 8th degree graduate since 1994 from Astara Brotherhood. This entire book is about Planet Earth, its people, possibilities, and problems, as well as the universe around our planet. I hope you will find his thoughts, as I find them, useful, wise, provoking and truly extraordinary. He pulls no punches! He is from the Order of Melchizedek, the first order of priests. I wish you a blessed day.
I don’t think I have ever respected my husband more than watching him fight for his professional survival. He needed to master the computer information and skill. Each night, I hated to hear him suffer, slamming books down and talking to himself in reprimands. I didn’t know him when he was young, in college at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa., so many years earlier, but I was awestruck by his “drive and persistence!” at the peak of his career. I never saw him “give up” on anything he wanted!
This is a book I never planned to write! My husband died on July 9 2005. I bring this book into publication now as a lasting tribute to his determination! I know he is applauding me! And that’s enough, right there for me. Desert Queen is our love story.
It Comes Down To Wanting Something was written when my husband and I lived in Manlius, New York. Lindsay went to work for Philips Electronics as a senior RF engineer. The company had two major problems, which Lindsay found very difficult to accept: Ponderous executive meetings at the drop of a hat and computer mania. Everything had to be entered into the computer and hand calculations were not acceptable.
Each morning, when he left for work, I went pounding into the computer room, pulled up a blank “Word” page and started writing at a rapid fire pace. I never stopped! It took me a year to write this book and it was something “treasured” I had always wanted! A journey I had always planned to take.
At the end of the year my husband was a computer savvy engineer and I had a copyright, on this book in 1994. I hope you enjoy my heart; I’ve left it on every page for you! Each and every one of you! Reclaim your spirit! Pick up your unfinished dreams and never quit!
