I AM the Witness
In 1960 I had a football accident which landed me in the hospital. It was thought that I had an appendicitis attack. However, in the operating room it was found to be a more serious situation–I had a ruptured spleen, liver and kidney. I was declared clinically dead for a period of about seven minutes. During this time I found myself transported through a dark tunnel into a bright white light. Standing in this light was a bearded gentleman who told me that there was more work to be done. Very soon after hearing this I awoke on the operating table to the amazement of the doctors and nurses present.
For many years after this incident I had the feeling that there was something more to be accomplished than bar-hopping and night life. In 1977 I met my wife, who introduced me to the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. In 1984 we came to the Ranch. Upon entering what was then called the Crystal Chapel at East Gate I saw El Morya’s picture and realized that this was the bearded man whom I had seen many years before. At that point I realized that my search had ended. I am grateful to Morya for hanging in there a lot better than I did or I would have never found the Teachings and the truths that they reveal.
