I AM the Witness
Miracles did not stop two thousand years ago!

I can certainly testify to the intercession of heaven when called upon. Jesus said, “Ask and ye shall receive.” On October 3, 1988, I returned from Boston, having given a lecture and a Community Meeting, only to find myself in the hospital the next day with a heart attack. The Messenger was immediately contacted during the Harvest Class. She made numerous calls for me throughout the entire conference and also sent telephone trees to Keepers all over the world.

The resulting healing was an absolute miracle. On October 12, while still in the Coronary Care Unit, I suffered a cardiac arrest for twelve minutes. During this time, when my heart absolutely stopped beating, normal routine measures of resuscitation were implemented. The doctor informed Mother immediately by phone and she instantly started making calls at her altar as the medical team simultaneously started the resuscitation procedures. Within minutes Mother had alerted Keepers in the field and in addition to her making invocations, hundreds of devotees were praying for my life while the medical team continued their work on me.

I was told that during this twelve-minute interval the decision was made on the inner that my life should be spared because I could do more good serving on staff at the Messenger’s side than I could in heaven with Morya and Lanello.

Thus by the miracle of divine intercession and by the miracle of timing, by the miracles of modern science and the skill of doctors and nurses, the measures were successful. My heart started beating again and brain damage was averted by God’s grace.

I have since learned that if resuscitation methods are not started within four minutes of a cardiac arrest, brain damage occurs. And I was told later by the medical staff that it is not a common occurrence for a patient of my age (68) and condition to return to life after that long an arrest.

That was Wednesday. On Friday coronary artery bypass surgery was decided upon as the only available means of prolonging my life since I had already had angioplasty a few days earlier. The night before the surgery I told Jesus, “I am going to have to have one of your miracles to get me through this.” However, I had no idea how all-encompassing Jesus’ miracles could be! There was also a hereditary problem involved in my case–all of my immediate relatives had died of either heart attack or congestive heart failure, and my one remaining sister is now having chest pains. Praise the Lord, this genetic curse was broken for me!

The surgery was a complete success. I can truthfully say that I experienced absolutely no pain during the entire time of the convalescence, and the surgeon and cardiologist were quite dismayed because I kept insisting I didn’t need any pain medication. It just wasn’t normal open-heart surgery as they were accustomed to it, and I was just not a normal patient.

I think I can attribute part of my speedy recovery to two devoted Keepers who cooked and brought macrobiotic meals to the hospital three times a day. In fact, it was the main topic of interest in the hospital, “Well, what are you eating today?” I also remained on a strict macrobiotic diet for several months following surgery. As a result of the healing I received from the Ascended Masters and Mother’s calls, my cholesterol level and blood pressure returned to normal, and I lost 70 pounds. I had been overweight for years and no matter how hard I tried I could not lose it–even by fasting. So this was a welcome blessing.

At present I am still following cardiac diet recommendations as far as low salt, low fat, low cholesterol and high fiber are concerned. And I have never felt better in my entire life. I recently celebrated my 70th birthday, and I am eagerly anticipating my second birthday in my new body on October 12 of this year. Each morning as I take my exercise, walking along the Yellowstone River, looking up at Montana’s beautiful clouds and mountains, I am overwhelmed with gratitude to God for his gift of life.

I feel as though this were a completely new embodiment for me, and in return I have pledged all my love and energies to be used by the Masters in whatever way I can be of the most service in helping to bring in Saint Germain’s golden age of Aquarius and the new heaven and new earth.

I shall be eternally grateful for the intercession of the Masters, for Mother’s invocations on my behalf, and for the prayers of Keepers throughout the world and ever indebted to the medical team who were God’s instruments on the fateful day.

God has indeed been good to me!
