INTRODUCTION

T HIS BOOK HAS BEEN IN the making for many, many years. It started as a journal after I was invited to talk about my experiences to a group of people who believe in a spiritual world. I never talked about this part of my life much because I tried it once when I was young, and I was ridiculed. I swore I would never, ever talk about it again.

But 9/11 happened, and I could no longer keep it to myself. You see, I had seen this terrorist attack over and over for thirty years before it happened, and when it happened, I was relieved. Now everyone knew about it, and I thought it was over. But no, I felt guilty because I had not stopped it. The guilt was tearing me apart, so I talked to a friend about it. He suggested I talk to a group of people he knew because they would understand, and I might get some peace.

How do I talk to strangers about this? I started thinking about my life and the events that had happened. I had not written it down before, so I was not sure how to prepare. I went to this group and spoke without notes for two and a half hours nonstop. I never realized how much had happened in my life that many considered unusual. I then wrote it down and started keeping a journal. A couple of the people in the group told me I needed to write a book. One of them even insisted after he died!

As I thought about my life, I realized even more that I depend on my spirit guides for many decisions I make. When I was a child, I did not think anything about them or that it was unusual. As I got older, I learned that I needed to keep these conversations to myself. I was able to talk to my mother, who seemed to not mind, but no one else. My guides helped me through rough times through my junior high and high school years when I felt out of place and awkward. They helped me focus on helping others, who I saw were also outcasts, by teaching me to be kind to them and listen. In later life, they comforted me when a close relative would die or a big decision had to be made. They did not tell me what to do but rather were just there. Sometimes that is all one needs—to know that one is not alone.

So, after eighteen years, here it is. I am not a professor of paranormal events, and I do not suggest that I have answers to life in general. I know that reviewing these events in my life has made me realize why I am here on earth. I am here to help others. I also know that I think differently now that I have written this book. I am grateful for my spirit guides.

CHAPTER 1

THE EARLY YEARS

I N MY FIRST FEW YEARS of life on this planet, I had to learn what my role was on earth. Why was I here, and what was expected of me? I knew that this physical life would be longer than my other lives by many years, and I would grow to understand my lessons in life as I went.

When you are young, you are innocent, and so I did not understand that many of my experiences in my early years were different from those of my peers. Luckily, I had a mother who understood and supported me. She never told me that I was wrong when I told her something that most people consider paranormal. As I got older, she cautioned me to not tell everyone what I saw or felt. I learned later to keep my mouth shut until I could determine whether or not the person I was talking to would accept my conversation about such matters.

The Visitor

I was blessed with three sets of grandparents. I had my father’s parents, who lived in Portland and who spoke German in the house when I visited overnight. I had my mother’s parents, whom I stayed with occasionally as a child. And I had my stepfather’s mother, whom I rarely stayed with overnight.

Around the age of four, I was visiting my stepfather’s mother in Gladstone for a night. I called her Lizzy at the insistence of my mother. Her house was an old farmhouse that sat on forested land, and there was a neat old dairy farm down the hill from it. The house had been added on to once, according to my grandmother. It now had two bedrooms; the master bedroom on the back was the addition, and the original bedroom was just down the hall, across from the bathroom. I was going to sleep in the original bedroom instead of with her that night, and that made me very happy. She snored and moved around in bed, and it made me uncomfortable whenever I had stayed there before. I was afraid I would get squished. But now I was old enough to have my own bed! And this bed was a full-size bed, not like the twin bed I had at home. She left the door to the room ajar so she could look in on me. She, of course, told me it was so I would not be afraid in the room since it was new to me. There was a small amount of light that came in from the front room down the hallway, and it made the room look big. Having a room like this one was like being a grown-up!

I was enjoying the thought of being in this room, and I stretched out my arms and legs, pretending to make a snow angel figure. Ah! What fun! I giggled. As I started to get sleepy, I felt like I was not alone in the bed. I did not get scared, but there was something in bed with me. Or rather, there was something on the bed!

I slowly turned my head to the right, and I thought I could see something, but I was not sure. I turned my head back around and looked upward. Then I looked quickly to the right, and still I saw nothing. This is crazy, I thought. But the feeling would not go away. There was something on the bed with me. How do I see it? What is it?

I decided to not look for a moment or two. It must be my imagination. Really, what could possibly be on my bed except maybe a ghost, a mouse, a—? Oh dear, now I was getting scared. I slowly turned my head to the right again and was determined to see whatever was there.

There was a shape on the bed that looked sort of like a small, translucent person. It was sitting on the bed, and it had a piece of paper and a pencil in its hands. It was writing something down. I was not sure what the shape looked like, because I could see through it! A ghost?

I referred to the apparition as it, but that is not really correct. What do you call something that is alive and full of energy but has no gender? In the English language, there is no word for it.

I whispered, Who are you?

After a momentary hesitation, the shape answered, I am your guardian angel.

"What! My what angel?" I yelled.

The angel did not respond but continued to write on the paper. I waited for it to stop writing. Finally, the angel stopped and looked at me.

Why are you here? I asked.

I am here to observe you.

We stared at each other for what seemed like a long time. I realized that the angel was waiting for me to talk, so I asked, Why are you observing me, and who are you reporting it to?

The angel answered, I need to see how you are doing and make sure you are all right. Are you all right?

I said I was fine.

The angel continued. I am not supposed to let you see me. I am sorry I frightened you. You see, I really want to talk to you, though it is not allowed. I truly am interested in what you think of life here and if you are happy.

I answered that life was great as far as I knew and then asked the angel if the angel would be coming back again sometime.

I will visit you one or two more times in your life, the angel said. It will be times when you need help or comfort.

That made me think that my life was preordained. I wanted to know if the angel knew how my life would unfold. The angel said it had a rough idea of how it would go but that I had final say on how my life would turn out.

I asked if I could be told how my life would go. The angel politely said that it could not tell me because it would not be fair for me to know in advance and it was best for me to make those decisions myself.

Ah, come on! You can tell me!

The angel responded that it could but that it would then have to erase the memory of what was told to me. I pleaded to be told, and I knew I would remember some of it. Finally, the angel agreed and told me my life story on earth, and then it erased the memory. I have no idea what was told to me.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened wider, and my grandmother said, Who are you talking to, Greg?

No one, I answered.

Well, go to sleep! And she closed the door.

I turned back to the angel, but it was gone. It was, though, not the last time I heard from my guardian angel. It was right about seeing me again.

Higher Education

I was nearly four years old when my mother decided I could have my own bedroom. Before that time, my mother had me in a crib in one of the three bedrooms on the second floor of our house in Oregon City. The crib was way too small, and I sometimes sneaked out of it because I was bored and wanted to do other fun things rather than be stuck in that crib. However, I had to wait until my mother thought I was old enough to have my own room. It seemed to be an eternity, and I am sure my mother was anxious to move me from the crib since she found me getting out of the crib more and more as I got older and more mobile.

The bedroom my mother put me in was next to my old room. In fact, one had to go through the new bedroom to get to my old room. The new bedroom was smaller and was in a dormer that had two windows that looked out onto the backyard and included a small window on each side wall. I later learned that I could crawl out of one of those small windows and play on the roof. It was fun until I fell off the roof and scared my mother. The backside of the bedroom had the furnace chimney that came up from the basement, and it stuck out into the room. It was the only direct heat source in my room; the secondary source was the warm air that would come up from downstairs. The door to my old room was on one side of the chimney, and the other side had a door that led to the landing and the stairwell going downstairs. The bed was up against one of the back windows, and one of the small windows was above the bed. I liked to open that small window and let the fresh air in no matter what time of year it was. I especially liked it when the rain or snow would fly into the room and onto my face as I slept. I also loved it when I woke up in the morning with snow on my face and my pillow. Snow meant no school! But more than that, I was immersed in nature.

My mother and stepfather painted the room and insulated the walls before I moved in. The walls and trim were painted bright yellow, and the wooden floor was sanded and painted a dark blue. My bed was on one side of the room, and my dresser was on the other side, with about two feet between the two items and a small, pale red rug in between. When you are young, that is plenty of space. Also in the
