The unveiling

I have my best thoughts when I'm in the shower. There is a problem with this. Perhaps my problem will be solved with the invention of the water proof computer. Like those watches you can wear in water. We didn't have those when I was growing up. Which, by the way, is the only time in my life I would have wished for one...but I digress. Back to the shower.

Some of my most profound spiritual experiences have occurred in the shower. First time was in 1990. They came to me in the shower at that time. I call them They. The messages I received came at a time when I was struggling with a physical issue. I had a metallic taste in my mouth for many weeks that was confusing and its origin uncertain. My concern was mounting but I've never been quick to go to an MD my entire adult life.  Suddenly, They were there. I was hearing Them in my mind, not seeing a visual manifestation. They told me that I was poisoning myself with the vitamins I was taking. As soon as I heard this I had one of those ah ha, everything comes together and makes sense moments. I KNEW THAT WHAT I WAS HEARING WAS SPOT ON! My vitamins and supplements.

I had been given a vitamin regimen to follow by a friend in college who was concerned about my now several years of taking antibiotics prescribed for acne. She was definitely right to be concerned. That treatment wreaked havoc in my digestive system in a way that I was yet to fully understand. I had faithfully been following this same regimen since 1977. I missed whatever cues might have led me to reevaluate at some point. I hadn't come across the concept of mindfulness yet. With good intention but ultimately mindless action I was doing something that Their intervention helped me remedy. Immediately.

This wasn't actually the beginning................................stay tuned.
