INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK
Well, there I am feeling quite smug in the fact that I have just written the last of the lessons that I feel I can write at my stage of spiritual development. It was about God’s grace and I had been waiting twenty years to have had enough experience to write those last few pages. My cat Cappuccino was in my lap as usual and I was thinking that I have finally done what I thought the Holy Spirit has wanted me to do in this life. I’m finished writing the lessons, thank God. And it only took me thirty years to come to this point where I can let them go.
Cappuccino has been meditating with me for the last nine years, all his life: Bruiser before him for seven years. I probably cannot mediate without a cat in my lap. Three hours each morning in my lap or beside me has been our routine. Every morning no exceptions, there he is and he gets truly upset if I crap out on my end of things for even one day. He will carry on considerably. So in the middle of my meditation I look down at him and in about one second this whole story line comes into my head.
Maybe my mind would not let me consider anything else until I had finished my obligation to the Holy Spirit. Who knows? I have never written fiction. I don't ’now if I can even tell a story but I have always wondered what would have been the result for young people if a story like Star Wars or Harry Potter or Twilight had the actual truth of our relationship with the Holy Spirit as the underlying foundation of the story line. And even better, what would or who would be awakened if they had woven a method of becoming open to the Holy Spirit within the story line. I mean after all, all I did was look inside by accident one time and there was the Holy Spirit waiting for me and completely changing my whole life.
So I figured I would write a hundred pages or so and put it on my web site and see if anyone wants me to finish the book. If I finish the book and a few people buy it, maybe it would help with the cost of the Google advertising to keep my Lessons in a place where people can see them. Well, that’s been fifty or sixty dollars out of my pocket each month forever. Over the years a few people have offered to help with the expense of the advertising and their help has been appreciated. So if you want to help, the best way is to go to Amazon. com and buy the intro lessons for $2.99 or the full set of lessons for $9.99. As I said, it only took me thirty years to write them.
Anyway back to the book. So far the reviews on the first two episodes that make up the first book have been better than I had expected so I guess I will write the other episodes that I have in mind. That should take about the next ten years. If have actually been able to tell a few mystical truths in the guise of fiction that I have not been able to say in the lessons.
With my lessons people never had a problem telling me what they thought and what they wanted me to write about or clarify. I don’t see that it should be any different with this series. The book might be a good way to introduce friends or relatives to the basic principles of mysticism under the guise of just giving them a book to read that you enjoyed. Anyway, let me know where you want me to go with it. You always have with the lessons.
lmrichsn@yahoo.com is where I’m at. Enjoy, I hope. Oh, if you want to read the book, it’s out on Amazon.com at $2.99. The title is (Bald Mountain Series 1, REDEMPTION) The book cover is below. lmr |
