Gideon and Marla. Christmas was only a few
A
days away and we, like many other families, were pre-
paring for the occasion. Barely able to afford a tree, we
settled for a sorry-looking specimen and spent most of
the remaining weekend hanging ornaments, lights and
decorations. Tired but pleased that we were able to make

the most of what we had, I fell into bed exhausted.
I must scarcely have fallen asleep when, all of a sud-
den, I was wide awake again. Being awake this time, how-
ever, was somewhat different. I appeared to be floating in
the air. Disorienting as this seemed at first, I somehow
felt a sense of curiosity and freedom. Gazing down, I saw
my body lying peacefully asleep between the sheets yet, I
was vibrantly awake, conscious and able to think. I peered
around me and found the room as I knew it. I seemed to
have a body, but it was much lighter than the one I was
accustomed to. Perhaps I had died, I thought, yet I felt
more alive than ever. I was beginning to panic when a
voice from within my head seemed to speak.  Look behind
you, John, it said.
Immediately I turned around and saw Gideon and
Marla.  Don t be afraid, my friend, said Gideon.  You re
experiencing what s called an out-of-body situation. Your
body is resting perfectly safe on the bed while you re here
with us. In this state we re able to travel farther and faster
and, of course, more efficiently than if you re in the physi-
cal body.
Still a bit unsure, I asked Gideon,  Are you really sure
140

it s safe to be out of my body like this? I mean, isn t there
a danger I might not be able to get back to it?
 Not at all, John. You re perfectly safe. As a rule, most
people do this during their sleep. However, most don t
remember it when they wake up in the morning.
 What s the point then? Why am I doing it?
Marla spoke up. I don t mean that a voice echoed across
the room. Instead, I just seemed to hear her in my head.
 Let s go to where it s more comfortable and we ll tell
you about the arrangements. She reached out and took
my hand. Gideon grabbed the other one and, all of a sud-
den, the three of us were flying, literally, through the roof.
Over the house and above the trees we flew until, in a
blur, we were standing under a tree in a clearing. Nearby
drifted a gentle-flowing stream and the bright moon above
us shone on the beautiful, fleecy clouds. Enveloped in a
lovely, comfortable warmth, we were immune to tempera-
ture and weather. Behind me, stretching it seemed into
infinity, was a narrow silver light, somewhat like a shin-
ing cord. Gideon, as if reading my mind, said,  We re
speaking to you with our thoughts, John. Without the
physical body, you have no need for physical voice or
141

ears. You ll hear us, and we you  as soon as thoughts
are directed. Incidentally, that shining cord you see, is
the silver cord that binds you to your physical body. Your
 Life Force sustains the body through the silver cord.
Marla interjected,  We use this method of travel when
there are special things to be accomplished. This is a trial
run for what you ll be doing in a few days. Remember we
mentioned System 22 during our last meeting? Well, your
visit has been approved. We must tell you a little more
about it, however, before we take you there. Somewhat
like a mini-orientation.
 Well, I m listening, I said.
 As you remember, you once visited the World Head-
quarters of G & M Enterprises, she continued.  There
you met the Chief and had the pleasure of conversing
with Him personally. I thought of how nice it would be
to just rest in an easy chair listening to Marla. The thought
had hardly occurred to me when I found myself reclin-
ing in a comfortable chair. Marla and Gideon were simi-
larly positioned.
Gideon announced,  When you re out of your body as
you are now, John, your thoughts are materialized at the
142
When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat
speed of light, or rather, at the speed of thought. The
same thing could happen when you re in your body, of
course, but then you have to take into account the concept
called  time. So, controlling one s thinking is as essential
here as it is there. As a man thinketh . . . , remember?
 Wow! What a fantastic place! I shouted.  Could I
think of all kinds of good stuff, fun things or whatever
and would they appear?
 Here, immediately, there, sooner or later. But appear
they will, as sure as day follows night. By the same token,
however, if you focus on unpleasant things, they too will
be created. Just a universal law, John. Think and expect
good and you get it. Think and expect bad and you get
that, too. It s a double edged sword, you see. You can t
get one without also being able to get the other, or else,
where would your power of choice be? How could you
exercise choice if you were only given one possible choice?
Therefore, since the power of choice is one of the most
important gifts from your Creator, you must have at least
two choices and most times, many, many more. That s
the simplicity and the complexity of it.
 Gee, Gideon, it s not as simple as I thought after all.
143
John Harricharan
 Simple it is, but easy it s not. Most of your great teach-
ers throughout history have spoken about the wisdom of
managing and choosing one s thoughts. Nevertheless,
most people still have lots to learn.
Marla took up the conversation again.  When you
travel through time and space on earth, you don t nec-
essarily have to leave your physical body. Remember
when you traveled to your old college and to the Ganges
River? You took your body with you because that was
local travel. If you were, however, to travel to a different
star system, it s much more efficient to do it this way,
without the physical body.
 We were discussing just such a situation a few
moments ago. To go to the World Headquarters of G &
M Enterprises, you had no need for cosmic travel meth-
ods. However, System 22 is outside your star system and
is the Universal Headquarters of the Chief. From that loca-
tion, which isn t really a place in the formal sense of the
word, the entire universe is monitored and adjusted
according to the thoughts and needs of its various inhab-
itants and life forms. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
