Perhaps, in the never-ending search for meaning, not only does meaning seem to elude us, but we find ourselves faced with the eternal questions of life. Why do roadblocks always appear at the most inopportune moment? Where is help when we are down in the arena and boots are on our necks? Why am I here and where am I going? Will I ever again see my loved ones who have died? And so it goes . . . on and on. Although no one could satisfactorily answer such questions, there is something deep within each one of us that whispers hope and says that no matter how dark the way and how deep the snow, the paths of glory lead ever onward and all roads finally lead home.visit:
This book is the story of a journey in living. The characters reveal to us a sense of joy and yet, at the same time, we feel their pain. This book is about me and you, about our constant, endless quest for that which seems unreachable. Some of us have already met in previous books such as When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat and Morning Has Been All Night Coming. Others of us will meet here for the first time and continue together on a fascinating voyage which leads through the fields of forever.
As the world spins on with dizzying speed into the future, we find ourselves caught up in the uncertainties of our times. But such uncertainties are not new. They have always been with us since the days our ancestors roamed the wild, prehistoric plains and they will always be with us in the future. What we must do is reinterpret the way we look at the world. Perhaps, then, we may find that life is biased on the side of good, that difficulties have a way of passing,that change is a constant and that we are all children of an infinitely, wise and benevolent God.
With new meaning and understanding, we will find the world to be a much friendlier place, our home away from home. Then will we be able to stand calm when the lightning strikes, to be patient in the midst of the storm and to be centered in the midst of chaos. All roads lead home. May you enjoy the adventures in the Fields of Forever.

I recalled my first flight as a teenager leaving one country for another to continue my education. The excitement of foreign adventures was mixed with the sadness of leaving my family. As the plane took off and the northern coast of South America dropped below the horizon, I remember brushing a small tear off my cheek, yet smiling at the glorious possibilities of exploring a new, fascinating and sometimes frightening world. It would be years before I would see my family again.
I don't sleep much on airplanes and I read very little when up in the air. High above the clouds enveloped in this meditative environment, I much prefer to reflect on the nature of reality, to philosophize and luxuriate alone in my thoughts. Today was no different as I reflected on the past week. Indeed it was a grueling one. My body's bio-clock was indecisively choosing among time zones across three continents, but my mind, at ease on an uncrowded flight, was drifting among the clouds of yesterday and tomorrow.
Yawning, I glanced through the window again. If you leave London in the late afternoon flying west ward toward New York, you would experience a prolonged twilight period. It's as if you were racing after the sun, never quite catching up as it drops into its nest in the west, leaving you to sleep or gaze hypnotically in its spell.
Another yawn as I glanced again at the clouds. There weren't many of them, but they appeared to come to life changing shapes and evolving into new, intriguing forms, ever so slowly, ever so peacefully as we sailed overhead.Here was one that resembled a giraffe,long neck, spots and all stood out against the pale blue sky. And over there, another cloud took the shape of an acacia tree,complimenting the giraffe on the African landscape. Lower and somewhat farther to my right was one shaped like a car — a Volkswagen beetle no less.

"Most of your questions will be answered in time," he said. "Right now, I'm just supposed to tell you that Marla and I will be working with you again. Glorious adventures ahead, John! Now tell me about the children. How are they doing?"
I always had the impression that he knew most things, but here he was asking me about the children. Didn't he know? Perhaps, he was just trying to start a conversation. "The children are fine," I replied, "Jonathan will be in college soon and Malika is going on to graduate school. Their mother would have been proud of them, Gideon. We talk about her often, you know."
"She is proud of them and in many ways assists you in helping them to learn and grow. Do you think that you accomplished such an enormous task without any help?"
"I didn't mean it that way, Gideon. But their mother died years ago and we have struggled and sacrificed to survive and get to this point. The struggle hasn't been easy. It certainly hasn't been a picnic, but overall, we're doing OK. Don't you know all these things, anyway? You always seem to know everything."
"I did get some reports and I did stop by from time to time just to peek in, so to say. Well, I'll be in much closer contact now. I'll be seeing you soon to continue our work." Gideon stood up, smiled at me and continued speaking as he turned to leave. "Marla will meet you when your flight lands. I have to go now."
Before I could respond he was gone. Just as in the past, he simply walked down the aisle turned and disappeared. Overcome by a yawning fit,I turned and stretched. Not very convincingly, I told myself I must have fallen asleep; I probably dreamed this whole scene about meeting Gideon again. But in front of me on the foldout tray were the two empty coffee cups Gideon and I had used. No, it wasn't a dream. He really had returned.

Somewhere between New York and London at 39,000 feet above the earth, my heart was at peace while my exhausted body and mind took the opportunity to rest. I had just successfully completed a one-week, business trip, which had taken me from one coast of North America to the other, then over the Pacific to down under in Australia. Mission accomplished in a few days, it was back to the United States and then over the Atlantic to London.
Now I was returning home, filled with anticipation at soon being able to see my children again, of the thought of relaxing on the porch, of watching the birds and squirrels in the backyard and myriad other less demanding, winding-down activities. It will be good to be home again.Sooner or later, we all return home. The chorus of turbine engines exerted a hypnotic hum as we hurtled across space. Unlike most other recent flights, this one was a pleasure to be on board. It was relatively uncrowded. Less than fifty passengers occupied the belly of this big bird, which is usually accustomed to hosting more than six times that number.
It crossed my mind that airlines generally are not pleased with flights that are so empty. Yet,that was precisely what I wanted — empty seats to my left,empty seats in front of me and still more empty seats behind me. No crowds, no fuss, no bother, no one kicking the seat back, no incessantly chatty traveling seat-mates, just a quiet, peaceful flight back home. I adjusted the seat, leaned back a little farther and settled myself into a more comfortable position.
Somewhat, as if in a dream, my mind began to wander the hallways of time that took me through the hopes and dreams of yesteryear. I have always loved flying, though not as a pilot but as a passenger. And not in little insect- like planes but in giant birds of the sky like 747's and 767's. Personally speaking, awaiting departure at an airport was akin to a mystical experience. Planes, for me, meant travel and travel led to faraway places. Since my earliest childhood, my fascination with faraway places had never ceased and, perhaps, never will.

Clouds hold a special attraction for me, especially when I'm flying above and can enjoy them from this unique perspective. They seem so angelic, so pure, so easily shaped into sculptures of the imagination wherein one can read all sorts of strangetales. I watched the Volkswagen beetle cloud as it began shifting its form into wispy little alphabet letters. At first, vapory patches seemed to break away and almost disappear before my eyes. This strange cloud seemed to have a will of its own, changing shape again. How amusing! It may have been the angle or a trick of the light. Parts seemed to be forming the letters . . . G...D ... N. Then they vanished, changing forms like some animated caricatures in the process.
It is fascinating how the analytical computer of the mind connects random thoughts and pictures to other thoughts and experiences of the past. The letters GDN following the Volkswagen cloud brought to mind a half-forgotten incident of long ago where I had seen the name GIDEON on the license plate of a Volkswagen.
Mind accessed memory banks and connected the dots as I recalled the adventures a mysterious friend of mine named Gideon shared. His friend Marla was no less mystical than he was and under their tutoring and guidance,I had learned much about the higher perspectives of the confusing experience we call life. So strange and mysterious were their appearance and behavior that at times, I didn't even believe that they really existed! Yet, I have with me, to this day, the books1 in which our earlier adventures were chronicled.
As we moved through time into evening and through space toward the east coast of North America,I recalled how I first met them and what remarkable personalities they were. Through the tough times of the past, from the loss of all my material possessions through the death of my wife, Mardai, and from a condition of utter despair to a situation full of promise, Gideon and Marla would appear in an almost magical fashion to administer a sorely needed dose of hope and spiritual vision, then, just as magically, disappear. They were truly angelic beings come to earth.

It had been a number of years since I last saw them. We were sitting on the back porch discussing a letter they'd brought me from a friend. Since then, no word, no communication, no sign from either one of them. It was almost as if eternity itself opened up and swallowed them forever. With these thoughts in mind, I pressed the button for a flight attendant. I had the greatest urge for a steaming cup of coffee.
It couldn't have been more than a few seconds before a flight attendant came up the aisle from behind carrying a cup of hot coffee on a tray. As I started to inquire if he knew how to read minds,he stated in a vaguely familiar voice, "Your coffee, sir. Just as you like it. And to set the record straight, I haven't been swallowed by eternity, I just live there."I looked up with a start to see who this was, only to behold my long lost friend, Gideon. I nearly knocked the coffee off the tray, then just sat there, jaws wide open, staring in disbelief at the broadly grinning face of Gideon.
He offered me my drink and said,"I didn't mean to startle you," and continued matter-of-factly with, "You didn't think we were through with you, did you?" After the initial shock of seeing him, the first words to leave my mouth were, "Gideon! Is this you? I mean . . . I was just thinking about you and Marla. What are you doing here? How did you. . . ?"
Before I could finish the sentence he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "It's been a long time. Do you mind if I sit and we'll catch up on what's been going on?"
"Please, please sit. Tell me, where have you been and what have you been doing?" I inquired as he slid into the seat next to mine.

Looking at God, I said, "Lord, I'm so happy to be here.When I return home, I'll spend my life building a temple where we can worship and praise you."
"That's very kind of you," He said, "but whatever gave you the idea that I dwell in temples or that I want to be worshipped and praised? Look, I really get bored with this praise thing. Instead of building me a temple, why don't you feed the hungry, help the poor, heal the sick and teach those who want to learn? Wouldn't that be more useful than a temple?"
God continued, "I've invited a number of others to be our guests and to join in our celebration. Let me introduce some of them." He stood up and pointed to various tables, calling names."There is Abraham and over there are Moses and Annabelle. Next to them you can see Thomasand Krishna. And over on the other side Rama,Mohammed,Gautama and Jacob. To our right, under that oak tree are Jesus, Peter, Paul,Elizabeth the First, Joan of Arc, Gandhi and Mary of Magdala. Sitting with them are Martin Luther King, Confucius, Jennifer Thompson, Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Rigby. These are some of my children, my friends and helpers. After tea, you should go around and meet them."
"How can they all be at the same party, Lord?" I asked,"I mean, Krishna and the Buddha conversing with Mohammed and Jesus? And who are Joseph, Jennifer and Annabelle?"
"They're all created in my image. Each is as important as the other. The famous names, you recognize. The other three, though not mentioned in history books, are still quite as dear to me. They were just simple folks, each one trying to fulfill his or her mission. This is a cooperative universe,not a competitive one, John. For someone to be richer, another doesn't have to be poorer. For you to be healthy, no one has to be sick. There's enough and more than enough for everyone. In the game of life, all can win and all can receive prizes."
"This is important; I've got to try to remember it all. Is this a dream or will I forget when I wake up?"
"No, this isn't a dream. And yes, you'll forget some, but not all. The important parts will stay in your memory for the rest of your earth life. Tolerance, harmony and understanding, these are some of the important things. Learn to understand yourself and you'll find it easier to understand everything else.

Together we walked along a lovely pathway in a garden of exquisite beauty.Flowers with the most delicate forms blended their exotic scents to perfume the air with an ever so subtle fragrance. Surely, I thought, Eden must have looked like this. Birds with brilliant-colored plumes sang while painted butterflies danced in fluttering pirouettes creating a rainbow of colors.
We crossed a nearby clearing into the midst of a garden party. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged beneath the tangle of outstretched branches, which served as a sheltering canopy. The comforting sounds of talking and laughter rang out all around us. As we approached a table on the far side of the clearing, a stillness fell over the crowd. A closer look indicated that there was but one person sitting at that table. That person was God, appearing just as I had seen Him in the Big City. "Hello, Lord, What are you doing sitting all alone?" I asked.
"Sometimes it gets lonely being God. Please sit," He said gesturing in our direction. We pulled up chairs and joined Him.
"Where are we? Could this place be heaven,Lord?" I asked.
"No. This isn't heaven. Heaven is neither here nor there. Let me assure you, heaven is closer to you than you think. It's within you. All of this comes from what's within you. Both heaven and hell are within your mind. All you have to do is choose which you'd like to have."
"Bless you, Lord," was all I could say. Realizing how ridiculously stupid I must have appeared,I quickly apologized."Don't be embarrassed, John. It's generally the intent that's important," said God.
"Thank you,Sir," I replied as Marla and Gideon giggled in amusement at my predicament.
"Why don't you say something, Gideon?" I asked, feeling at a loss for words.
"This is your party, John. We're celebrating your visit."

"Dad, I feel like crying—not tears of sadness,but tears of joy."
"There's no need for tears at all. The Chief is all Love and Joy. You,son and the others on Earth are the ones who believe that life is supposed to be a vale of tears and suffering. The Loving Force only wants for you that which you desire for yourselves.Some of you choose sadness and others happiness."
There was such peace and serenity surrounding us as we sat there. It seemed as though he'd always been alive; that he'd lived forever, this dad of mine whom I miss terribly. I knew then that he'd never really died and I could always meet or see him whenever I wanted.
"Keep working, learning and growing, son," he continued. "Never give up. You've heard it said 'When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.' I believe 'When the teacher is ready,the master will appear.'You'll be meeting with the Chief soon.Then you will know that we're all one. You'll understand you've never been separated from your Creator;that you and He are one.
"We must go now. Gideon and Marla are coming for you and the Lord is waiting."
Gideon and Marla reappeared as suddenly as they had left. My dad hugged me warmly and patted me on the back.
Tears fell from the corners of my eyes as he said good-bye. It was so good just to see him again. Of course, it was obvious now that he was not dead, but transformed. As the butterfly lives within the caterpillar, so, now he was a butterfly of the universe instead of a caterpillar of Earth. "We wanted you to spend some time alone with him, JH," Gideon said. "Now we'll go to see God." He paused, winked at me, then continued, "the Chief, First Cause, Creator and All That Is."

Article Title: Challenges Diagnosing Psychotic Disorders in Emergency Departments

Emergency physicians are tasked with treating patients suffering from physical complaints as well as those with psychiatric problems. Often, however, it can be difficult to determine whether drug or alcohol use is the primary cause for psychosis, or whether the use of illicit substances is simply a side effect of the underlying psychiatric problem. Emergency physicians must often make this determination in the course of treating patients and deciding how to best recommend follow-up care for them. Surprisingly, as many as half of the patients who present at psychiatric emergency departments seeking care use either drugs or alcohol, and often patients will show up to the emergency room while intoxicated. The issue of separating out the two different diseases is an important one because of the implications it will have for the patient as well as the healthcare system at large. For instance, if the patient has a psychiatric disorder but is not treated appropriately, this will impair the healing process. At the same time, if the patient is suffering the effects of substance abuse but is inaccurately diagnosed with a psychiatric condition, this can lead to overtreatment with inappropriate anti-psychotic medications as well as lead the clinician and patient away from substance abuse treatment options.
To test the rates at which these types of misdiagnoses can occur, researchers conducted a study on the behaviors of emergency room physicians at psychiatric emergency departments. The goals of the research were to determine the accuracy of emergency department diagnoses of primary and substance-induced psychosis, and to determine the long-term implications of the diagnoses and their effects on subsequent inpatient hospital admission, use of antipsychotic medication use, and outpatient follow-up treatment. To carry out the study, researchers selected patients who had been diagnosed with early-phase psychosis in psychiatric hospitals in the Manhattan area. To be eligible, patients had to have suffered at least one psychotic symptom during the assessment period, and they had to have used alcohol or drugs within the past 30 days. The participants were interviewed initially, and then at six months, and then 12 months using the Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorder (known as the PRISM). Researchers also used a test to measure psychotic symptoms called the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Each time the study participants were interviewed using these two methods, their urine was also screened to check for evidence of alcohol or drug use. The patients' discharge records were examined as well, along with records of medications prescribed to them (either anti-psychotic medications, psychotropic medications (such as mood stabilizers), or no medication at all).
The results of the study were quite interesting. 75% of the patients who were identified as suffering from a primary psychotic disorder at the emergency room were found to have a primary psychotic disorder when the researchers completed their interviews. For 25% of the study participants (equal to 56 patients), the diagnosis they were given in the emergency department of a primary psychotic disorder did not hold true based upon the researchers' interviews and further investigation. For those patients, the primary affliction that was noted was a substance-induced psychotic disorder and not one that was a primary underlying condition. For those patients who were diagnosed with a substance abuse problem in the emergency department, 71% were similarly identified in the researchers' follow-up studies. So while the overall accuracy rates for diagnosis were quite good for both types of diagnosis, approximately 25% were incorrectly identified. The researchers also noted that for patients with a diagnosis of a primary psychotic disorder, the hospitalization rates were much higher (93%), whereas only 66% of patients diagnosed with substance-abuse induced psychosis were hospitalized.
The authors conclude that more research is needed, and that the study points out the challenges inherent in emergency physician jobs – determining whether a patient has problems with substance abuse or psychiatric disorders can be difficult. The implications of a misdiagnosis are far-reaching and can negatively impact access to care. Future studies should examine ways to improve diagnostic accuracy and eliminate cases of misdiagnosis.

"Why did you leave us so suddenly, Dad?Don't you know how much all of us miss you, especially Mom? She speaks of you all the time.Recently, she was very ill, but she's doing much better now. I think she misses you more than everyone else put together."
I seemed to catch a glimpse of sadness in his eyes as he said, "It was time for me to go on." He was quiet for a short while as if reflecting on what I'd said.Then he continued, "I'd completed as much of my earth work as I could and there was nothing else for me to do. From here,it's possible to help you and the others much more than I was able to do while I was there. I watch over your mother constantly. It'll be a few more years before she joins me, but you've just started your work. All that came before was just preparation. Your visit here is the next step. It's like a graduation before going on to other, more complex work.
"I'll be with you whenever you need me. Just call me in your thoughts like you called me aloud when you were a little boy. I'll answer and help you as I always did. I never really left you at all; it only seems that way. Whenever you want to talk with me, find a quiet spot, close your eyes and see the house in the old country and the coconut palm growing by the edge of the little stream. I'll meet you under the tamarind tree and we'll discuss whatever it is that's troubling you.
"There are others here who'll be helping you,too. I've known Gideon and Marla from many lifetimes. There is also a group of three called the Companions. I know you see them often in your dreams. They always bring you valid information that very often you choose to ignore. They are your higher self—your guiding, knowing self.Everyone has several helpers. You're aware of some of yours, but most people never discover the help that is available to them until they cross over to this side."

It was the day after Christmas. The morning was bitter cold,but the golden rays of the sun bathed the trees in a frosty, sparkling beauty.Somehow,deep within me, I felt this was to be the day for my visit to System 22. Yet nothing had happened to confirm my feelings.
Christmas day had been spent at home with the family. It was exciting to help my children set up their toys. I reflected on the days of my childhood and how, with great excitement, I would wait for Christmas day. With anxious fingers, I would rip the wrappings from my gifts and delight myself with wild imaginations of their contents. Christmas hadn't changed much with time, although, as I grew older, the spirit of Christmas had taken on an entirely commercial vein.
Today, however, Christmas was behind me and it was time to return to the mundane world of commerce. This evening, I thought, should be a peaceful one. It was a quiet day at the office and after a good dinner, some time with the family and a few household chores, I turned in for the night and fell asleep.
Without warning, it happened again. I was wide awake looking down at my body sleeping peacefully on the bed. Standing next to me were Marla and Gideon. "It's time for us to go to System 22, John,"said Gideon. "Your body will be at rest and perfectly safe while we're gone. You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," I replied, and without further ado, they each grasped one of my hands and we were off again. We experienced the same flying sensation and suddenly there was the feeling of falling. Almost immediately, we were standing in a brightly-lit room of enormous dimensions. The room was full of strangers. They were talking to one another and occasionally glancing at various giant screens on the wall. Two younger men walked over and greeted us."Your turn will come shortly, Gideon,"one of them said. They led us into what appeared to be a waiting room. It was tastefully decorated with expensive furnishings that seemed to be of the same style I saw at G & M Headquarters. We sat down and helped ourselves o some freshly brewed coffee. The thought occurred to me that even out of my body I enjoyed a good cup of coffee.
"Gideon, what is this place?" I asked.
"This is the first step in the 'translation' process from earth to the heavens," he answered.
"What do you mean?" I was frankly puzzled.

Immediately there was complete darkness,a sound not unlike music,then absolute silence. I was no longer afraid,just extremely curious. After what seemed like an eternity, but in reality couldn't have been more than a few seconds, we emerged into another brilliantly lit room similar to the one we'd just left.I turned to Gideon and said, "We don't seem to have gone anywhere." Smiling, he replied,"We're light years away from where we started."
A delegation awaited us a group of friendly people who came forward and surrounded us. Searching the faces around us, I was taken by surprise to find my father, looking exactly as I knew him back on earth. He looked straight into my eyes; I thought for sure I was dreaming. I became overwhelmed by emotions as I rushed up and threw my arms around him. I had missed him so much.
"No, you're not dreaming, son," he said to me.
"You're alive, Dad?" I said,more as a statement than a question.
"As alive, as I ever was or will be," he replied. He seemed to be happy and at peace. The crowd parted as we walked across the room toward a large door. As we approached, the door opened automatically and we proceeded into a scene of indescribable beauty. Although we'd left the transfer point at night,it was now full daylight. Perhaps, it's less confusing not to analyze the mysteries of time and space.
Marla said,"We'll be back with you shortly, John," and she and Gideon vanished, leaving me alone with my Dad. I looked at the man who had raised me and taught me so much about life. Was it the light again or did he seem to be surrounded by a faint, silvery aura?
"Sit down, son," he said as he pointed toward a bench beneath a tree, "Tell me how you've been."
"Well, to say the least, I've been having a real rough time, Dad. I don't know how, but I'm sure things will work out eventually. What's this place and what are you doing here?" Somehow, I felt that he already knew how I was doing.
"This is a reception center for visitors from various parts of the universe. I'll be here for a while. I chose this assignment because of the opportunities for growth and learning, but I have to admit it's also fun."

Gideon announced,"When you're out of your body as you are now, John, your thoughts are materialized at the speed of light, or rather, at the speed of thought. The same thing could happen when you're in your body, of course, but then you have to take into account the concept called 'time'. So, managing one's thinking is as essential here as it is there. As a man thinketh..., remember?"
"Wow! What a fantastic place!"I shouted. "Could I think of all kinds of good stuff, fun things or whatever and would they appear?"
"Here, immediately, there, sooner or later.But appear they will,as sure as day follows night. By the same token, however, if you focus on unpleasant things, they too will be created. Just a universal law, John. Think and expect good and you get it. Think and expect bad and you get that, too. It's a double-edged sword, you see. You can't get one without also being able to get the other, or else, where would your power of choice be? How could you exercise choice if you were only given one possible choice? Therefore, since the power of choice is one of the most important gifts from your Creator, you must have at least two choices and most times, many, many more. That's the simplicity and the complexity of it.
"Gee, Gideon, it's not as simple as I thought after all." "Simple it is, but easy it's not. Most of your great teachers throughout history have spoken about the wisdom of managing and choosing one's thoughts. Nevertheless, most people still have lots to learn."
Marla took up the conversation again. "When you travel through time and space on earth, you don't necessarily have to leave your physical body. Remember when you traveled to your old college and to the Ganges River? You took your body with you because that was local travel. If you were, however, to travel to a different star system, it's much more efficient to do it this way, without the physical body.
"We were discussing just such a situation a few moments ago. To go to the World Headquarters of G & M Enterprises, you had no need for cosmic travel methods. However, System 22 is outside your star system and is the Universal Headquarters of the Chief. From that location, which isn't really a place in the formal sense of the word, the entire universe is monitored and adjusted according to the thoughts and needs of its various inhabitants and life forms."

"Is it like a super headquarters from which the Almighty manages his universe?" I blurted out still curious, like a child with a new toy.
"It's only headquarters for one universe. There are many universes and each one has its own support system. Ours and yours is System 22."
"How many universes are there altogether, Marla?"
"How many grains of sand are there in the desert? How many stars in the heavens?"she quickly replied in answer to my question.
We were all quiet for a while. I could 'hear' the sound of the wind as it quietly moved through the leaves above me. "Then there must be other civilizations and people on other planets and star systems?" I asked.
"Yes, John," Gideon responded. "There are many life forms in many universes. They were designed to live in harmony with one another. Similarly, on earth there are many life forms, each unique and having its own special place in the scheme of things. Just as the ant is able to co-exist with the elephant, mankind should be able to co-exist with one another and also with the various other life forms."
"Are some of the other civilizations more advanced than ours, Gideon?"
"'Advanced,'is not the correct word. It would be more accurate to use 'aware,' but for illustrative purposes let's use advanced.' Are some life forms on earth more advanced than others, more highly evolved, if you will? Of course there are. Similarly, in the universe there are some civilizations far more advanced than yours. Also, there are others far less evolved.Some are truly energy or light beings, having no need for a body as you know it. They're so aware of their infinite power that they create whatever they may need out of pure thought.
"Others are not as mature and still indulge in wars and other less evolved behaviors. But they are all children of the First Force and they're all striving in one way or another to achieve unity of purpose with their Creator. It's the same Creator who made you and us—The Chief Himself. We have instant access to Him."
"Would it be possible to see Him again? I mean, like I saw Him that time in the Big City?" I stammered.
"That's the purpose of the trip to System 22. In a few more days we'll make a trip to our Universal Headquarters. There the Chief will speak with you again and you'll be able to ask all the questions you want. Think and reflect on what you've heard tonight. We must take you back now, but when the time comes for the journey we'll let you know."
There was a hissing sound and a flash of light. I turned over and was wide awake in bed. Marla and Gideon were gone. Of one thing I was sure, however, it was not a dream.

"To reach System 22 from earth there are several transfer points. Each person who wants to go or is invited to visit must first go through one of these transfer points. I don't know the exact reason why, but I understand it has something to do with space-time coordinates. Purely technical, I guess.
There are a number of these locations here on earth and a few of them are in this country. Right now, we're in an area you call Arizona. There are also transfer points in California, Virginia Beach and Massachusetts. Two new ones are in the process of being completed in Washington and Atlanta.
"Outside this country, other points are located, for example, in Canada, England, Australia and India. A few more in Africa, China and elsewhere. We chose Arizona for no particular reason, except that we're familiar with it. You see, we've done this many times before. However, we could have gone to any of the other points.
"You'll notice that we all appear to have bodies. These bodies are mental ones, not physical ones and, therefore, are not subject to the same time, space and density constraints as earth bodies.In fact, the earth body is a physical image of your spirit body, somewhat similar to the way a picture shows an actual scene. From this transfer point we'll go directly to System 22 where you'll meet some very interesting people and, finally,the Chief. I think they're almost ready for us. Let's go."
We stood up and walked over to one of the large screens, which was now glowing white. The two young men we'd met earlier waved us on. Gideon, Marla and I joined hands once again and before I could realize what was happening, we walked right through the screen. I mean, through the screen and into a different world.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The questions weren't new and have been asked by thousands of unfortunate people for centuries. Why must I suffer so much? And if I had to suffer, why did my family and friends have to endure with me?All I had tried to do was to earn a decent living while treating my employees and others fairly. I had tried to live by the old injunction to "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God." But in spite of my efforts it came crashing down—and fast. After the loss of the company, the comfort and security we had known as a family vanished as mist before the morning sun.
We lost our home and most of our possessions. We sold a few remaining pieces of furniture in order to buy groceries. One of the most difficult sacrifices I was forced to make was to give away Rajah. It was he who had sat beside me as I conversed with Gideon. Overwhelmed and despondent, I began questioning everything I held sacred. The question was not "Where was Gideon?" but, "Where was God?" Eventually we moved to another state in a desperate effort to start over.
And then, as a final blow, my father, descendant of Mahn Singh of Bharat, passed away. Many were the sorrowful moments I spent alone but, even so, a new understanding was dawning. On quiet evenings as I drove home from work I could still hear his voice in my head.
While commuting one evening,I was thinking how scarce Gideon had become during my troubles. Why couldn't I see him when I needed him most? Suddenly the sound of sirens sent me searching my rear view mirror. Startled, I saw the flashing lights of a state trooper preparing to pull me over. Not now, not now! I can't afford a ticket. I must have been so absorbed in my thoughts that I forgot about the speed limit. I pulled over to the shoulder of the road and nervously fumbled through the papers in the glove compartment as I awaited the trooper. Apprehensively, I turned around to glance up at the smiling face of the bearded man and almost dropped the papers in total surprise. "I've been hijacked... Gideon! You... What... I mean..." I couldn't continue. His grin widened as I just stared, dumbfounded in amazement.
"Well, at least say 'Hello'," he demanded.
"It's good to see you again but, for crying out loud, where have you been?" I stammered.
"Just thought you could use a laugh and, as I recall,you wanted to see me."
"Where did you get this car?"
As if it was normal procedure, he calmly replied, "Created it." Ignoring his answer, I said,"I've got to talk to you, but we can't stay here."
"That's why I came. I'll see you at ten tomorrow morning. Here's the address. We'll have lots of time to talk then." Handing me a piece of paper, he gave me a slap on the shoulder, waved, turned around and walked back to his car. I glanced at the address then up to the rear view mirror. He was gone—vanished—just like he used to.
I could hardly contain my excitement as I drove the rest of the way home. Tomorrow I'll see him again. I had lots of questions and, this time, I wanted answers. Tomorrow we shall see, I thought as I pulled into my driveway.

"You'll be healthy not by disliking sickness, but by loving health.Treat your body with respect and love. It's the vehicle for your consciousness while you're on earth.It's also made to provide you with pleasure. Looking at a beautiful sun-set, tasting a delicious meal, hearing musical sounds, touching and so forth, these can be very pleasurable sensations for your body. You built it. I only designed it and provided the blueprint."
God relaxed for a moment and took another bite of the plum."Plums are good," He said. "Fruits and vegetables are good. There are herbs that are beneficial for specific bodily ailments. The ancient civilizations knew a lot about these things. There's much to be learned from what was handed down to you. But in your present century, there's not much respect for ancient wisdom. Scientific data and analysis are fine up to a point, but they provide incomplete answers. Combining ancient wisdom and knowledge with new discoveries will always be more beneficial in the long run.
My mind was racing. This was extremely important and valuable information. It was time I thought, to ask a few questions concerning my current problems. Yet today, these problems seemed so far away and not at all important.Just being in the presence of the Almighty gave me an entirely different perspective. But nevertheless, I found myself asking, "Why is it, Lord, sometimes when we work so hard toward a goal, that it begins to seem ever further away? In fact, there are so many things that I'm working on and they all seem to be getting worse. Any light You can shed will be a tremendous help not only to me, but also to those I'm trying to help."
"There are various reasons," said God."The things you are striving for so diligently may not be things you really want or need. Another reason may be that you aren't ready yet or prepared to handle those things.Or it could be timing.You have to learn how to read the signs of the times. A good farmer knows when to sow and when to reap. He doesn't reap when he should be sowing or sow when he should be reaping." These reasons seemed too ordinary to be "God Answers," so I pursued the question further. "I thought any time was a good or proper time. How do we know this timing?How can we find the right time?"

"It's true,"replied God, "that anytime is a good time, but you must know if it is the right time. Winter is a good time, but do you plant roses in the snow?A stormy day is a good day, but is it a day for sailing or fishing? There are cycles in the universe, the world and your life.Learn to find the cycles and use them for your benefit.Projects begun at the right time will be much more successful than if started at any other time."
"Sounds something like astrology. Is there really anything to that stuff?"
"I love puzzles—crosswords, jigsaws and many other kinds. You have many puzzles in your life. Things would be dull indeed without challenges. But although the puzzles are challenging, you've been given clues. You have many guidance systems for your earthly life. Since ancient times, sailors have used the stars for navigation on the high seas. You,too, could use the stars for navigation on the seas of life. How do you think those Three Wise Men from the East found our little baby Jesus? Don't you remember the story? They studied the heavens. They saw a star and they were able to correctly interpret the signs. Call it astrology, celestial navigation or whatever you please."
"Can the ordinary person use these things for his own guidance?" I asked.
"Even today," He said, "there are many who guide their paths according to the signs they read. These signs, astrological or otherwise, weren't given to you as crutches, but as guideposts. They don't determine or predestine what will happen to you. You do that. They only point the way. You have to do the traveling. Don't confuse the map with the territory."
"Most of my animals are more aware of cycles and signs than humans are. Notice how they seem to be aware of approaching storms or earthquakes. They don't block out the messages they receive. But you, the epitome of My creation on earth,have filled yourselves with so much doubt,worry and fear that you can't hear yourselves think. You can't even hear Me speak to you. You even choose to ignore the signs I've given you.

"Yet,these signs are there for anyone.In your sleep you have signs and guidance through your dreams. In your waking time there are just as many helpful signs for your direction and well-being. Take for example,reading license plates on cars. Every once in a while, take the letters you see and form words. Pick the first words that come into your mind and see how often those words have relevance to your present situation.Once in a while, look at a billboard. Or, perhaps, a song on the radio gives you a hint. Open a book, any book, to any page and see what it tells you. There are 'sermons in stones' if you'd take the time to look, listen and be open to receive information."
A slight breeze arose and the sails billowed. The sound of the creaking masts joined with the ocean to create a beautiful windsong. I still had no desire, but just to sit there forever and hear God speak. I was now able to detect a faint, glowing light around Him. I'd seen this light before around Gideon, but for the first time I saw it around Marla, too.
God continued."Don't think that you can only speak to me about sacred, holy or spiritual things. As you can see, I enjoy many things, even a cruise. Don't be afraid to confide in me. I'm closer to you than the air you breathe."
While I had the opportunity I thought I'd ask one question about my future, since I could sense that our meeting was quickly approaching an end. "Lord," I asked, "will my path over the next months or years be easier than it has been?"
"The way you have chosen for yourself will be a difficult but glorious one. You'll need all the strength and faith you can muster for what lies ahead. But you will come through it. For me to tell you more would deter you from the path that you've set for yourself. As you go through the months ahead remember that you're never alone. Reach out and hold my hand sometimes. You'll be amazed at how much it helps. Wherever you are, I'm there with you."
There was a sweet sadness about this very personal meeting. Gideon looked at me and said, "It's time to go now,John."
"Do I really have to go?" I asked.
God answered, "Yes, John, but remember what you have learned here today. You'll need it." Turning to Gideon and Marla, He said, "No need for John to worry about traffic today. Please make sure that he's returned to his office without any problems." He looked at me again and as He said,"Go in peace," I felt as if I'd always known Him.
The scene began to disappear.There was a brief silence then I found Gideon and myself, once again, sitting in my parked car. Marla was nowhere to be seen. Gideon whispered, "The Lord moves in mysterious ways," and then he,too, was gone. Trying to compose myself, I sat there a short while longer. Then as one awakening from a dream, I got out and walked to my office.

The threads of history weave strange patterns in the web of time. Mysterious and complex as the tapestry sometimes appears, the finished product invariably is a work of art. Often, one cannot see the entire picture from the limited perspective of a small portion of a lifetime. It's by expanding the mind and trusting the universal flow that it's possible to make sense of what may be considered nonsense or "none sense."
It was sometime in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century.Far across the seas in the ancient land of Bharat,which today is known as India, mighty forces were at work. Somewhere in the north central part of that land, in an area inhabited by the descendants of fierce Rajput warriors, the Maharajah Jai Singh the Second had already made tremendous scientific advancements in the pink and lavender city of Jaipur.
A young boy, about the age of ten, served at the court of the powerful Jai Singh. This boy's name, taken from another powerful ruler of earlier days, was Mahn Singh.Well versed was he with the stories told at court. On many an evening he would listen in quiet amazement as visitors from faraway lands exchanged stories and tales with one another. As Mahn Singh grew older, he would dream of those distant lands across the seas and would repeat the stories he learned at court.
Thousands of miles across the oceans, England had a new queen. Elizabeth the First, daughter of Henry the Eighth, was a shrewd and powerful monarch. She was constantly at war with Spain, which was then ruled by Philip the Second. In an all out effort to conquer England, Philip the Second dispatched the Spanish Armada. The defeat of the Armada did not prevent the Spanish from trying to colonize parts of South America and the islands of the Caribbean.
On one of the Spanish expeditions led by Don Pedro da Silva, a young sailor named Juan Martinez was watching an approaching storm. Great was the fury of that storm and when it abated the entire crew, save one, was no more. All but Juan Martinez perished. He barely survived by clinging to a piece of floating wreckage. Days passed under the hot, tropic sun until,finally, delirious and dehydrated, he drifted to land and was rescued by a strange band of warriors. He had drifted into the estuary of that mysterious South American river called the Orinoco.

It is said that Juan Martinez was taken to a city called Manoa,ruled by a legendary figure known as El Dorado裕he Golden One.Beautiful,indeed,was the city. The streets were paved with gold and the houses and temples gloriously reflected the rays of the morning sun. Juan Martinez lived for many years among the natives of this land,eventually escaping one day to tell his story.
One who heard the story of El Dorado was Sir Walter Raleigh, friend and confidant of Elizabeth the First of England. Many expeditions were made to the area on the northern coast of South America called Guyana.It was there that Sir Walter Raleigh and others believed the fabled city of gold would be found.
In the search for El Dorado many lives were lost. In the dense jungles of Guyana could be found bushes of Yellow Allamanda and Red Amaryllis. There was also the lovely petalled Cereus that blooms at midnight once in about seven years, then fades away with the morning sun. But a land of wealth and ease or a golden city could not be found. For many centuries the fight for Guyana continued until, in the end, the country became a part of the British Empire.
In the meantime, the little boy Mahn Singh, who had spent much time at the court of the Maharajah Jai Singh the Second, had become an old man. His last days were spent much like his earlier days,telling stories of distant lands, this time to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One great- grandson especially delighted in asking questions of the elderly Mahn Singh. Though still young in age, Jung Bahadur Singh would question Mahn Singh for hours about foreign lands and different peoples. The younger Singh also learned about the heroes of the Ramayana as well as the countries of the West where many adventures awaited the brave and restless ones who would dare to journey beyond the land of their birth.
Jung Bahadur Singh was in his twenties when he heard that some of his people were traveling across the ocean to work on the sugar plantations in a remote land known as Guyana. Jung Bahadur Singh, great grandson of Mahn Singh, took up the call and together with several other stalwart young men, shipped off to the only British colony in South America.

If conditions in India were difficult, conditions in Guyana seemed almost impossible. From early morn to late at night, Jung Bahadur Singh worked in the fields. He raised his family as best he could. Battling the encroaching jungles on one hand and the restless sea on the other in order to save his little farm, he persisted and struggled until the day he died. But the son of Jung Bahadur Singh grew up in the little village by the ocean and remembered the tales of the land from whence his father came.
The village grew and prospered and in time, the son of Jung Bahadur Singh named Harricharan Nian Singh,planted his own crops and tended his own sheep and cattle. The tides of time rolled on and eventually a son was born to him.Nian Singh spent much time with his son, who later in a radical departure from Hindu tradition, would be called John. He taught him the ways of the West and the wisdom of the East, believing that a blend of both would be better than either one alone. Like his forefathers before him, Nian Singh worked the fields and farms so that he could afford to educate his son in the better schools of the time. Much was learned by John and one day, like his grandfather, he left the land of his birth and traveled to a new land裕he United States of America.
Strange is the pattern that the Weaver creates as strands of time and space are woven together.Ever since I first came to these shores, I致e used a blend of Eastern and Western philosophies that served me well,except for the last few years or,perhaps I should say, in spite of the last few years. When I first met Gideon, my career and financial stability were being tested.I witnessed things that I had spent a lifetime building, slowly crumble. Even meeting God in the Big City had not prepared me for what was to follow. And what followed was absolutely devastating. Gideon was far from my mind when my car was repossessed. God seemed very distant as creditors hounded me daily.
All I had come to believe seemed to be disintegrating. Anger, frustration, fear and unhappiness filled me to overflowing. Friends disappeared, leaving me to believe they were never friends in the first place. The two or three remaining ones helped as much as they could. Even brothers and sisters raised their voices in anger and disgust because of my inability to repay debts owed them.
As time passed, I was quickly turning into an outcast. I remember vividly how, in the middle of one winter, my wife and children huddled over a small electric heater because the oil company had turned off our oil supply. Tears welled up in my eyes as I pleaded, to no avail, with the telephone company not to cut off our service. Where was Gideon in the midst of all this?

It was many years ago. The boy was not more than ten years old as he stood beside the man that early morning. They were both standing on the shore of the Atlantic looking east toward the rising sun. The chill morning air caused a slight shiver to run through the boy. The man, seeming to know without even looking, took off his jacket and draped it over the small shoulders of his son. They walked up to the water's edge as the man spoke: "You see that wide expanse of water? It is made of billions of gallons, and each gallon is made of tens of thousands of drops."
The little boy seemed curious. "And what are the drops made of?" he asked.
With a smile, the man replied: "The drops are made of smaller and smaller drops, and each in turn is made of bits and pieces of things that make the very world we live in."
"What am I made of, Dad?" the boy asked after a short while. "Am I made of the same stuff as the ocean?"
The father smiled as he replied: "Everything is made of everything else, and everything is a part of other things. As you stand here this morning, you are a part of this land, this shore, this ocean. Look at that tree, the sky. They are parts of the very me and the eternal "I". There is a force that keeps us together. Some call that force God, others, Allah, Jehovah, or Jove. There are a thousand names for this force, but it doesn't matter what it's called. It just is. As you grow older and wiser, you will find the stirring of this mighty force within you. You will know that it's always there, and that you're safe and happy within it."
The boy, with a puzzled expression, looked at his father and asked: "How can this force, this God, be within me and at the same time be in everything else I see?"
"Because," the man replied, "God is in everything and everyone. God is in you and in me, in those gulls you see over there, in the sand under our feet and the lilies of the field. God is everywhere and everything, and there cannot be two everything. God is a part of you just like the drop of water is a part of this ocean. Remember this well and you will grow up to have a sense of peace, joy and understanding."
Decades have passed since I stood on that shore with my father. I have since traveled to many countries, lived in various cultures, and experienced deep sorrow and great joy. I have seen the best and the worst of my fellow human beings, Yet, through it all, I could hear the voice of my father telling me: "God is everywhere and everything, and there cannot be two everything."
As a young boy, I grew up in a small village of Hindus, Christians, Moslems and others. I learned at a very early age that all people are shipmates on the common voyage of life and that one cannot sink one's shipmates without sinking oneself. As I studied the Vedic writings and compared them with the words of the Hebrew prophets and the teachings of the New Testament Apostles, I found that the common thread running through them all was love. The greatest commandment ever given was "Love your God and love one another" - all others are simply variations on that theme.

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
I always watch the Olympics on television. I don't mean that I don't want to be at the real goings-on, but generally, that's not possible. Now, mind you, I am not obsessed by it. I just like to watch. I just like to see the champions, the aspiring gold, silver and bronze medal winners. I like the pomp and ceremony, the excitement of a world-class event.
As I watched the games of the XXVII Olympiad, I found myself holding my breath as the participants won or lost by mere fractions of a second. I looked into their eyes as they were interviewed by the media. The winners reflected joy, excitement and great satisfaction. Those who did not win gold medals received silver, bronze or none at all. But, in my opinion, there were no losers. All the athletes at the Olympic games were winners. They won just by being there, just by showing up.
As I watched, I was struck by the similarity between the games and life itself. We are all part of a very significant Olympics, we are all participants in the Olympics of Life. And the Olympics of Life continues everyday of our life. We are already winners in this great Olympics because we've showed up, we are here to participate in the game of life.
True, the game of life has many players, all six billions of us on Earth. And we all play different games. Some play baseball games while others play the games of "doctoring" or writing, or running a small business or heading a giant corporation or saving whales or parenting or whatever you could think of. There are more games going on at one time than you could imagine.
Not everyone in the Olympics wins a gold or silver medal. Some earn bronze, while others come in fourth or sixth or even last. But in the game of life, everyone has the opportunity to be a gold winner. And how do you do that, you ask? By being in the game, by being prepared, by having a sense of purpose, by knowing your competition.
And who is your competition? You may be surprised at this. Your competitor is only YOU of yesterday. All you have to do is be a little better than the YOU of yesterday a little bit better than you have been. We all play different games. There's no one else on Earth with the unique combination of experiences, talents, gifts, abilities and perspectives as you. If you look at the game this way, you'll find that no other person is your competition.
And, yes, if you really like your game, you generally have an edge-- a very powerful edge. As you play your game of life-- doesn't matter what your business, job or calling may be-- play as if you cannot lose. Because you've already won-- you've showed up. But to get the gold, everyday, practice to be better than you were yesterday.
Don't judge yourself too harshly when there are seeming setbacks. Even the greatest athletes in the world have experienced failure at one time or the other. Failure can be defined as the time we spend between successes. Learn from your failures and keep on keeping on. Give others a hand as you play the game. They are not your competitors, they are only fellow players in their own games. It is a mystical thing, but it seems that as we help others, we actually help ourselves.
From the moment you were born, you entered the Olympics of life. If you have watched some of the games of the twenty-seventh Olympiad, let them inspire you "to strive to seek, to find and not to yield." Only YOU can play your game and win the gold or silver or bronze. You've already paid the price to get to where you are. Wherever that is-- near the top of the mountain or the bottom of the ditch-- start again with a whole new outlook. You can get to the top of the mountain. You can get out of the ditch. You may be surprised how close you are to victory. So, go for the gold!
