still see while out of my body. I was feeling sorry
my mother, who was in the kitchen, would find me
dead but I thought it over and found my new state
preferable and intellectually chose death over life.
Then for no apparent reason the boy on the bed
vomited and all the pieces came flying out. He
began to breathe again and I was very angry as I
returned to my body against my will. I can still remember yelling, “Who did that?” My thought as a
four year old was that there was a God who had a
schedule and I wasn’t supposed to die now. So an
angel apparently did a Heimlich maneuver on me
is the way I would explain it today.
I really do believe there is a schedule we create unconsciously because of later life experiences. Twice I
have had my car totaled by people driving through
red lights and once I fell off our roof when the top rung
on my wooden ladder snapped off. In none of these
incidents did any significant injury occur to my body.
Someone told me it was because I had an angel and
he knew his name. I asked what it was and he asked,
“What did you say when the ladder broke?”
“I said, Oh Shit!”
He said, “That’s his name.” I will add he always
shows up when I call him in an impassioned way.
My next experience was with the healer Olga Worrall. I had injured my leg training for a marathon.
It was very painful and not responding to rest or
therapy. At an American Holistic Medical Association conference Olga was a guest speaker. My wife
told me to ask her to heal me. I was embarrassed
to ask and very frankly a non-believer. Never the
less my wife pushed me forward and Olga sat me
down in a chair and placed her two hands on my
leg. The heat from her hands was incredible. I remember putting my hands on the opposite leg to
compare the heat sensation. There was no sense of
warmth from my hands coming through the dungarees. When Olga was done I stood up and was
completely healed. The pain was gone and I could
walk normally.
Another time Olga and I spoke at the funeral of a
mutual friend. After the ceremony we were standing in a deserted hallway when she asked, “Are you
Jewish?”

I really do believe there
is a schedule we create
unconsciously because of
later life experiences. Twice
I have had my car totaled by
people driving through red
lights and once I fell off our
roof when the top rung on
my wooden ladder snapped
off.
“Why are you asking?”
“Because there are two rabbis standing next to
you.” She went on to tell me their names and describe their garments, which included their prayer
shawls and caps. Her description of them was exactly what I saw in my meditation and imagery sessions when I had met these figures while walking
on my path.
Another evening after I gave a lecture, which felt
like someone else was giving it and I was simply
verbalizing it for them, a woman came up to me
and said, “Standing in front of you for the entire
lecture was a man and I drew his picture for you.”
Again, exactly the face and features of my inner
guide. I still have the picture hanging in our home.
My next experience came when I was telling a
friend about how busy I was and she said, “Why are
you living this life?” Her intension was to get me to
slow down and travel less but her question sent me
into a trance and I immediately saw myself with a
sword in my hand killing people. My first thought
was that I had become a surgeon in this life to use
a knife to heal and not kill.
I spontaneously went into a trance again a few
days later and saw myself living the life of a knight
who killed because he feared his lord and what
he would do to him if he didn’t carry out his commands. I killed my wife, in this life, and her dog and
