    My journey along the path to writing this book started when I was about thirteen or fourteen (don’t remember exactly), I had gone fishing by myself one day when I had what is now considered a near death experience, actually, I believe that I died. What I recall from that experience was that I found it difficult to breathe after taking several puffs on a cigarette (yep, I had sneaked away with a couple!). I recall that I simply was unable to get any air into myself and to this day I believe I know what it is like to die, unable to catch my breath, I collapsed into the brush at the side of the lake where I was fishing, what happened next I believe initiated the actions that resulted in this work and the path I have chosen.   For me there were no special lights, no tunnel, none of  the ‘classical’ symptoms associated with near death experiences, I did not even see anyone, but I knew I was not alone. What I felt was that I was in a different place, it felt like a normal day. The one thing that was really different and strange was that I felt this warmth and comfort and I knew instinctively was love. This love however was so strong, so deep, so intense that it felt like a warm wind on my skin and it was as if I was totally enveloped in it. It was then that I heard as if there was a discussion by persons unseen, and a voice or voices then spoke to me saying that I could not stay there and that I ”had to go back as no on knew where you are and, your work isn’t done yet”.   I recall distinctly picking myself up from the ground and dusting the leaves and sand off myself, while feeling groggy and slightly disoriented, however what was most distressing for the following months (while I felt a deep loss at not being in that place) was the feeling of wanting to be back in that place where I could literally feel such deep love. Unbeknownst to my parents or even my closest friends I even contemplated several ways to get back to that place but I was prevented by the words to which I then had no meaning – I “had to go back because no one knew where you are and your work isn’t done yet”. I have since learnt that I must treasure this life; this gift from my Creator!   At that time, I sought the company of those who spent a lot of time in churches and seemed to be enlightened. I quickly became disenchanted however, not by their actions (which I accepted as part of life) but by the hypocrisy they exhibited in their day to day lives in the disparity between their words and actions. Eventually I drifted off to just have fun and it’s been many years of, well I guess, just drifting.   All these years however I noticed that unlike many around me, I have never felt alone, I always felt that there were those who I could feel even though I could not see who were there to comfort and guide (really in most cases; to rescue!) me. Nonetheless I have never felt alone or lost, and with my memory of my visit to that place when I was a kid, though I was bothered by pain and I treasure His gift, I have never been fearful of the transition we call death.   Alhough I have always been drawn to churches, I have always been repelled by the hypocrisy and pretentiousness of too many (most?) of the people that I encounter there – so it was at my home that I felt the peace needed to try to get closer to God. It was there that I asked to be given the strength to be a good servant, and begged for the honor of being a part of His plan with no regard for mine or of any man’s plan. It was there that I felt the presence of his emissaries and they have communicated with me, they have called my name and woken me repeatedly, with instructions of what to write, it is they who assured me that there are those who wait for these messages, and in time others will accept. They also informed me that there are many who have guided and protected me who will rejoice when this work is done (I have never wondered about distribution of this work, because I know better).   I am a man who has lived a rich and unpretentious life. The path I have walked has allowed me to have such a variety of experiences that I can relate to almost anyone. This in itself is a blessing. I feel fully rewarded just to be able to serve the One who is greater than any other ruler that has, or ever will come into being. I
