The Soul Baby the Trickster and the Golden Buddha
Creative Nonfiction
Michael places a Brazilian amethyst on his forehead and nods off to sleep. When he wakes up he can see ghosts and even bizarre creatures from the other side. With some help from a Native American medicine man, he is returned to his normal self, more or less. Soon he starts seeing colored lights drop out of the ceiling and his patients begin to share their own supernatural visions with him. Some of these include information about his own family that they could not possible have known.
Caught between not having a belief system that includes the supernatural and not being able to deny his ongoing experience, Michael decides to embark on his own spiritual journey or perhaps it has already been decided for him. A chance meeting with a British born Brazilian spiritualist in a grey business suit and black pumps gives him an understanding of a spirit world he never knew existed.
When he meets Master Liao, a Chinese tai chi master, Michael is directly exposed to the power of invisible forces as his body his hurled backward into a wall by the merest touch of the master. Another Chinese master shows him the energetic blockages within his own heart and more importantly, how to get rid of them.
In Brazil, at the Casa de Dom Ignacio, home of the hugely popular faith healer John of God, Michael sits violently shaking and sobbing as saint in spirit form transmits special healing knowledge directly into michael mind. Confused and awe struck, he wonders if he should give up all worldly things and devote his time to assisting people at the Casa. This fantasy is short-lived when another being in spirit form insists that he “go home and help people.”
With a new sense of purpose, Michael returns to his acupuncture practice in Tucson Arizona and begins to treat people for their spiritual afflictions rather than only for their physical complaints. Within months his practice doubles and some people show up solely for spiritual help.
Michael comes to grip with his new found insights and realizes that there is a need for his work and it is greater than he had ever imagined. Spirituality is not a theory. Nor is it something that needs to rely on churches and priests for it’s existence. It is a reality that is more real than the physical world itself. The struggles people face in there spiritual reality therefore have great importance.
Michael’s understands that his purpose is to help people clear their spiritual blockages and to open channels to higher spiritual consciousness. This revelation leads him to intensive meditation practice where he faces temptation and discovers the true nature of spirituality in a dynamic cascade of spiritual light.
