"John Dalmas - The Second Coming" - читать интересную книгу автора (Dalmas John)

The next summer I flew to Seattle, and took an intensive five-week course in an early
form of Life Healing, another psychotherapy, from psychiatrist Dr. Peter Verbeek,
who'd developed it.


ASM: And then?


NEA: If you passed the course, and a four- to eight-week internship, you were
certified to practice.


ASM: And apparently you did.


NEA: Not right away. First I went home and did some work I'd promised AAIS. Then
I turned in my consultant hat, and drove back to Seattle to do the internship.


ASM: Which left you unemployed. Even if you could afford it, you must have felt at
least a little uneasy.


NEA: Not really. I'd learned to trust the voice of my essence, my inner self. A few
months earlier, while driving through the Finger Lakes region, I'd experienced a
powerful epiphany. Powerful enough, I pulled off onto the shoulder. For several
minutes, everything looked different. Trees and cows had auras. The grass and
flowers glowed along the roadside. Auras weren't all of it, not even the major part of
it, but they're something we have language for. I was seeing energy fields not
normally visible to human eyes.


ASM: Do you still see them?


NEA: [Laughs.] You look quite nice in your pastel glow, Mr. Cochran.


ASM: Had you been on anyтАФuh, medication at the time?


NEA: [Grinning.] Not then, not now. I've enjoyed excellent health all my life, and I've
never been interested in mood-altering substances. After that experience, I realized I
no longer wanted to continue in artificial intelligence research, useful and
remunerative though it is.


ASM: So that's effectively when you decidedтАФwhat? To be a spiritual teacher?
