My Other Life

My Other Life

Each of us has two lives; one of which is a private life that we share with few people. It is as if we have a multitude of selves. There is a belief that there are an infinite number of universes and that each one of us has an infinite number of selves in those universes. It is said that anything that we can imagine has been lived by these alternate selves. What if we could draw on those infinite other lifetimes and experience them or gain from our alternate’s experience.

            From an early age I felt I was different, not better or worse but different. I always lived in the world but never really felt a part of it. I always felt that I was meant to do something. I was never sure what that something was, but even as a young child I was touched with spirit. I had many premonitions especially of people's deaths and they generally come true. As I look back I realize it was not a premonition as such but a message from the inner worlds of my higher self that were telling me that these people were deceased. Telling my mother that an aunt or great aunt had died was viewed with a little fear and suspicion and I soon learned to keep these thoughts to myself.

My other life is the life that I have lived in the spiritual realm. What originally started as an inner journey has impinged on not only my outer life but I believe also the lives of my alternate selves. I believe that getting in touch with these alternate lives opens up a number of possibilities, both for them and for us. I remember talking to my alternate selves in a meditation. I was planning to talk about how we are connected to the elements of nature and that if we live in harmony with the elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth and the seasons within nature that we can live fuller lives. I went into a meditative state and when I had reached deep alpha I imagined myself going into a long hallway, at the end of which was a wooden door. The door was nothing special but there was a light that came from beyond it. The light forced its way through the small cracks around the outside of the door and through the keyhole. Even as I stood by the door I could feel the many dimensions and possibilities that existed beyond this realm.

            My own being began to vibrate at a much higher level than normal. It was as if my physical body was being transformed into light. At that moment I was aware that I had to be the energy that would draw my other selves from their alternate universes. I had to raise my energy and sent out into the void some aspect of the energy that I wanted to share with my other selves. I opened the door and immediately felt a rush of energy out of my being and into the light beyond the door. In what was no more than a moment my alternate selves starting pouring through the door. I was taken a back by the number of other selves who had come though. I had expected maybe one or two as that was what I had experienced in previous connections with my alternate selves, but this time there were hundreds.

            At first I was afraid that I would not have enough room to accommodate them, but as is true in the world of spirit, the room I had prepared in my mind changed to a huge auditorium, able to cater for thousands of my alternate selves.

            The moment I began there was immediate silence as my alternate selves listened intently as I shared the story of the Emperor and the sage. I talked for hours about the seasons within man and mankind and how important this teaching had been for me in the past twenty eight years. How the promise made by my old Chinese teacher had come true that one day there would come a time when I would look at someone and know them at such a deep level that I could see their health and disease patterns and beyond that even to the energy that created them. It was like I could see into not only their genetic pattern but to the elements that they were made from.

            As I shared with the audience I began to sense that I was learning in return. In the teaching of the elements they were becoming more alive in me. That was the moment that I realized that my book 'The 33rd Sage' needed to be published, had to be published. This information had been kept secret for far too long.

This my other life begins in my thirties when I first met my old Chinese teacher and how from that moment my inner spiritual life became my dominant life. Over the next few blogs I will share some of the stories of my other life. I believed that I have been blessed to meet so many great teachers along the way. The one thing that I have begun to learn that the teacher we need is always close by and it is our role as spiritual beings to be open to the teacheings the higher self provides.


I remember one such teaching I received when I was trekking in the Andes. We were having a rest at a cafe in one of the many market villages in Peru. While I was sitting there an old beggar came up to me and put his hand out for money. I took a few coins out of my pocket and put it in the old man's hand. He took the money but did not move. I took a few more coins out of my pocket and gave them to him. He still did not move. By this stage I was getting a bit pissed off. I looked up towards him. Our eyes connected and he smiled, nodded his head and then walked out the cafe. I cringed. He may have been a beggar but he was still a human being and although he was glad to take my money he still wanted to connect with me. I felt very small and humble in that moment. Here I was traveling the world to meet spiritual teachers and learn from them and I had forgotten the basic teaching that we were all connected and it took a beggar in Peru to remind me of it.
