Hello my name is _______ and I come to you to tell you of a totally bizarre occurence in my life. Some of the things in it are hard to believe, yet i hope that you've learned to think outside the box. About 3 years ago i was involved heavily in the christian church, i had been for 35 years growing up. I was very discontent with it at that time. I was very philisophical went it came to religion, as i was going to be a missionary. Anyway, I went to a bible bookstore one day to buy a bible, when i noticed some pamplets on a rack that were written by the owner and pastor named Bob. The pamplets were on some deep issues, and i was very excited. One pamplet was on the concept that God could and has changed His mind throughout history. Well upon studying it and speaking indepth with the pastor i believed that it was true, even after always believing the opposite for 35 years. Well needless to say this concept and believing it to be true, opened up many new doors mentally and spiritually. I mean if God could change His mind before, He most certainly change His mind in the future.
Soon after I was struggling greatly over my religion about the heaven and hell issue and who would go there. I couldn't believe that millions of nice and caring souls of another faith would end up in hell. I then remembered that God could change His mind and began to think that God could change the whole situation regarding heaven and hell. I struggled so deeply over this issue that i went into a horrible state of depression. After coming out of my depression I decided that My My religion must be wrong and I chose to leave Christianity for good no matter the cost. Well about 1 week later i received a phone call from someone in my past. This someone was a girl that i went to Bible College with about 8 years previous. This girl came from a very strong closeknit Christian family and she was a very strong Christian. We dated for a while until i proposed to her. She was going to be a missionary too. Well she said yes. Now back to the story. She called me that day and i very concerened as to what i would say to her about my new decision of rejecting my faith. We talked abit about general things, then our conversation turned to the spiritual. I told her finally that i had rejected Christianity and waited for her response. To my amazement she said that she had done the same thing not too long ago. Wow, I then looked at this amazing coincedence as a Sign from God. I knew that i had made the right decision, cool.
I now had a new lease on life, but did't know where to start. I have always believed that all other religions besides Christianity were wrong, and had studied them quite a bit to prepare to be a missionary. So in other words, where should i go from here? I began my quest in the New Age type of teaching that also incorporated asian meditation teaching. I listened alot to Dr. Wayne Dyer, and others like Jon Kabbat Zinn. Thier teachings took my spirit and soul to new heights. I also began to study my native american teachings, as i'm a small but highly spiritual part native american. I then started to study and practice the japanese martial art known as aikido. This began to bind my spirit with all that i've been studying in my new quest. You must know that in my earlier days as a youth i was a pothead, that is that i was a regular user of marijuana. I quit for all these years up until, you guessed it, now. I believed that adding marijuana to the mix of all that i was now experiencing could help bring the Peace that i so desperately sought. I must say that what began to transpire was beyond my wildest dreams.
I now had a new weapon on understanding what true Peace is and how i might find it. I proceeded to head upon this path i was on and began to think of things never before possible. I began to see that Peace is truly what God wants and that God wants it for all. I said to myself, Wow, for all? I continued to study, contemplate, practice aikido, and smoke the (what was to me and still is) Peace Plant. I decided at that point that i would experiment with my new found access to the beyond as i saw it. I pushed my mind to think more deeply while under the influence, till one day I found something more startling than all my thoughts before. I found God to be In my thoughts and thinking with me. I was very freaked out. God then showed me what true World Peace could be. God said then that true World Peace could be done if i would do it myself. WOW WOW, what a concept. Needless to say i pondered on that concept with God for quite sometime. Over the course of a few days I was elated at the idea of someone of my personal flaws and very very humble means actually bieng called into service to become the Next Prophet that would actually create,bring World Peace. At this time my mind would race all my waking hours. I then decided my course of action. I went and checked myself into a motel with internet connection. I also went home and took all my credit cards on which i went shopping for computers,printers,camcorders,phones etc... I was determined that i was ready to start this Peace process no matter what.
I wasn't ready and i did't realize that i was going into what's called a manic episode. Well for those of you who don't know a manice episode comes from an illness called Bipolar. Here i was 41 and i didn't know i had Bipolar. For those who don't know Bipolar Manic causes people to see things that ARE'NT real. You say, then you're story's not real beacause of you're illness right? NO, remember when at the beginning of this story i said that you would need to LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX if you were to see the absolute importance of what i say. BECAUSE OF my bipolar illness I can see things that ARE THERE. There's a big difference. How do you know you might ask. Because i've been just like a scientist,in that i see signs and mark them all down and continually mark them down. I then double check them all to my theory of Me bieng this Chosen One of God come to bring World Peace. The signs which i record that don't fit into that Theme are then disregarded. I have an incredible Sign collection and have kept them in my safe at home. One of the big signs is that of a sleeping indian on a mountain right by the house of my granparents(of which i spent a great deal of time at growing up) and the realisation that all the manic episodes have occured in the same area, finalizing with the last one and me living here with my mother.
Think about it, if God were going to be able to contact a human being on this plane of reality, would'nt it be helpful for that human being to be able to see signs that no one else can?Well i have had several more episodes since the first and everyone bieng differant than the first. All the while between episodes i have been collecting more and more signs and proofs prooving who I claim to be, you know the Prophet of Peace. During this gathering process i was always open to new things from God as well. Well one afternoon out on my deck where i contemplate all that is God dropped a bombshell on me. God revealed to me that He/She/Them were going to rename me the very thing that i sought so deeply, you guessed it PEACE. That gives me the added credentials to carry out my mission with Power. I had a firm support to this new naming while headed off to work one day. While merging onto a highway i saw what to me was astonishing, it was the letter I followed by the Peace sign, and so it was I Peace. Even though the am is missing i new that this was the sign God wanted me to find to give me encouragement and support. The AM missing in this sign realy bothered me for quite some time until one day i was travelling by the sign and i quickly looked back and right at the sign location drove by a truck with an M on it, bringing into alignment the sign I M PEACE. I have to figure out signs everyday and sometimes it's not easy, but it's fun fun.
I also have collected a bunch of dvd's and audio recordings speaking on various subjects relating to my mission,World Peace, which i cannot wait to share with someone who can help me in my Quest. Anyway I must relate my last episode to you and you'll know where i am at today. It started with my wife going to Mexico for a week. It started a couple of days before. I had been trying to not look for signs for a while now so i could focus more on my wife. All it took was for a sign on the highway, A Chieftain truck beside a Schwan truck and then after that some truly quick and funky signs happened, and almost as fast as i could record them. Well tried to tell my wife that something was afoot, but like usual she never believes me. She went to Mexico and i stayed at home. I only received a call once but that was ok. I was busy recording some most excellent signs, which for a day was about my wife being involved in the Peace process. Well she returned and i was quite manic as you would expect. She took me in to go to my home away from home(because she wont believe me or even look into my theory, this really hurts my feelings as we have been together for 14 years) I stayed there for 3 weeks this time and while i was in this time my wife decided that we needed a seperation. My mom offered to let me stay with her and it actually is very cool here. My mom bought me a cassette recorder that has a speaker on it so i could record my thoughts about my beliefs and to share with others. It turned out to be defective, what a drag. The point of this is that is brought over here my mp3 player which actually has a recorder built in. I have recorded some of the most interesting stuff i've ever done. Well to end my story for now, It is meant for me to be at my moms which is actually the place i stayed at for a while and actually grew up at. This is the most Peaceful place ever. It sits up on a hill has horses a bunch of wind chimes and it sits across from a lake no neighbors except one. I ask you this what better place for PEACE TO DWELL.
Sincerely PEACE
