Introduction

Aaron calls himself a "being of Light." He is a discarnate entity. When I met him, I was struggling with the pain of my sudden deafness, brought on by illness, which seemed to so isolate me from the world. Angry and afraid, I prayed for help. I don't know what I expected, but one morning soon after that prayer, when I sat to meditate-my practice of twenty-five years was Quaker devotional meditation-I felt an energy before me, saw it too. There was so clearly a presence there, the way I feel when my back is to the door and someone enters the room. "Is this an hallucination?" I wondered, and got up and walked into the kitchen.

A drink of water, look out the window, and back to sit. Spirit waits, a brilliant white presence, so bright that one could not tell if the intense light shone from him or if he sat in the middle of a white sun. Piercing eyes of blue radiated with the clarity and depth of crystalline water. Around the eyes a soft face faded into a white beard and flowing, snow-white hair. "Who are you?" I asked. "I am your teacher," came the wordless reply.

There was little in my life to prepare me for such an encounter. It took me a few days to move past my old opinions-"new age mumbo-jumbo," "crazy," and more of the same genre. Quietly, he waited. It was important that I never felt pushed to open to him. If we continue noting an "hallucination" and it stays, at what point do we venture to investigate it? My heart cried, "trust." Finally I said "All right; what are you here to teach me?" and thus began my journey with my spirit friend.

Is Aaron "real"? I can't answer that, only tell you how I experience him and share his message as clearly as I'm able. Aaron tells us about his teaching, "Listen with your heart and not your brain." He asks that we consider the message and ask whether it confirms our own deepest truth. "Do these words help you to live your lives with more wisdom and love?" he queries. "If not, just lay them aside. The source is irrelevant. Please consider the content." Through the years, many people around the world have come to love Aaron and find comfort and guidance in his words. If they are of help to you, please take the message they offer into your own heart.

With love,
Barbara
