Lighting Up With The Traveler

 

At one point during my first Light Study with John-Roger, he turned the tape off. “Are you using any form of birth control?” he asked.

“Yes, I have an IUD.” I replied, startled.

“OK.” He nodded.

Turning the tape recorder back on, he continued. “There was a dark area in your aura in the creative center. If it had turned up no IUD or no birth control, we would have referred you to a medical doctor, real fast. Then, an aura balance would be almost mandatory. Given that there is an IUD and that block was put there purposefully so you won’t bring forward more children, well, it’s OK.”

That piqued my interest and so I scheduled an Aura Balance.

This was very expensive for me in 1971. I was just 21 years old, living on $148 a month plus food stamps, and going to school while raising my two-year-old daughter. The aura balance back then was $25.

That first balance was great. I could feel the difference and liked it. At the end I was told, “No sex, drugs or alcohol for three days.” No problem!

Two days later, I found myself in a Volkswagen bug going across the Bay Bridge packed with people smoking dope. It was cold and the windows were all rolled up. The car was so full of smoke you could barely see out. Being a good little rule follower, I declined when the joint was passed to me. I waited my three days.

I was happy. I went around saying I had finally found a teacher who wasn’t “down on dope.”

Four months later, J-R and his staff returned to Berkeley (spring break) and I scheduled my second balance.

Michael Sun started the balance by “combing” the aura. This looks like someone stroking the air just a few inches from my body. He paused, then stopped. Looking right at me he asked, “Have you been smoking dope?”

“I waited the three days like you said.” I replied, wondering but not saying anything about the trip across the Bay Bridge.

“I have said this to only one other person, and that was in Miami. Now I am going to say it to you. If you want to keep doing dope you might as well take your $25 and go buy some good stuff. This will not help you if you keep doing dope.”

I lay there stunned. By now, I was regularly attending seminars. I was working the information J-R had given me four months earlier in my Light Study. My life was changing and the change was really good. My emotions were calmer, I was happier. Michael stood above me, patiently waiting for my response. I told him to continue the balance.

As I was leaving the hotel I found myself walking across the lobby, automatically pulling out my pack of cigarettes. Just as I pulled a cigarette from the package I was drawn to look up and saw this beam of light. It was an ordinary sunbeam with dust particles in it, except it wasn’t. I felt the Light upon me. I felt it draw and knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the karma of doing drugs was being lifted. I was being given a gift. I didn’t even know the word “grace” at the time but I was experiencing it anyway. As the beam was drawing upward, I looked down at my hand and saw the pack of cigarettes. In my mind, I rapidly threw it into the receding beam of light. It was sucked up, and then it was gone. I put the pack back into my purse and I walked out the door in wonderment.

The bus ride home was long, and I slept during most of it. I arrived at my friend Maureen’s house to pick up my sleeping daughter when Maureen called from the bathroom. “Oh, you are finally back! I ran out of cigarettes. Could you light one and bring it to me?” I smiled as I lit one of mine, being careful not to inhale. I put the pack on the end table in her living room and brought her the lit cigarette. Gathering up my daughter, I left them behind.

There was another problem when I got home that evening. I had just recently received this wonderful birthday gift, a clear plastic box divided into six sections. Each section contained a lid (an ounce) of excellent quality marijuana, complete with labels: Acapulco Red, Panama Red, etc. It was less than half used. I had my first spiritual dilemma. I couldn’t give it away to friends, because that would be promoting something I no longer believed in doing. I couldn’t sell it for the same reason. I couldn’t throw it away because it had great value both in cost and in emotional attachment. So, I did what I always do in this type of situation. I did nothing.

Spirit has always met me at my point of action and, occasionally, inaction. I was not taking any action on this dilemma. About two weeks later, I came home to find my house had been broken into. I was poor and had nothing of value to steal, no TV, no stereo, not even kitchen appliances. The house had been ransacked. As I was putting things away, I discovered that my birthday gift had been stolen. Relieved, I laughed, looked up, and said a heartfelt silent, “Thank you.”

  1. I read this uplifting article with great care, putting myself in Jackie Petersen’s place. I perceived that the light works. I observed its timing bundled into patience, loving and calm. I just removed my eye glasses to wipe away tears of satisfaction and joy in order to write my thanks first to Jackie for sharing this profound ways which explain how the light works, and of course to the light in each of us.
