STORY EXCERPT

Then the vision went into the future. It showed me highlights of everything that was going to happen to me creatively—everything that I was going to create and offer to the world over the next few decades. I saw myself developing my spiritual philosophy and writing books that would help awaken people all over the world to a deeper spirituality. I saw that I would be making at least one movie and presenting lectures on cultural evolution and spiritual development. Although it was essentially a vision of my possible future, it felt more like a memory of what I wanted to accomplish in this life.
