\"ArticleDear John-Roger and Jsu,<\/p>\n

I saw your movie Spiritual Warriors<\/a>, and loved it, but what is more astounding is how I came to find out about the movie, and all the coincidences that lead me to see your film.<\/p>\n

I went to a Health Show at the Convention Center in Pasadena and this guy asked me if I wanted a free book. I said “ok,” surprised that they were giving away a free, hard cover book. I put the book on a chair in my apartment, and forgot about it.<\/p>\n

Then I went hiking to a place that I had never been before with my doggie that this guy that I had met only once told me about. I went hiking and, all of a sudden, I saw a Very Large Rattle Snake, and it started making noises. My dog was barking, and I ran so fast down the mountain, I was afraid that the snake was going to eat my doggie, the love of my life. So, as I was running down the mountain, I saw a girl, and started talking to her, I wanted to warn her about the snake, so we started talking and became friends.<\/p>\n

This friend came to my house, and noticed the book I had on the Spiritual Warrior <\/a>, that I still hadn’t read. That is when she told me about the movie. She told me she had been to see this movie Spiritual Warriors<\/a>, but didn’t have that much to say about it. Just from the name, (I am pretty intuitive), I thought, “I have got to see this movie,” so I looked in the paper to try and find this movie in the movie section, and couldn’t find it, so then I found it online, and bought a ticket.<\/p>\n

Before I went to see the movie, I had just woken up and I saw this vision of a head getting chopped off, which I thought was so strange, and didn’t know where it was coming from. Was it a past life picture I had, or what was it that I was seeing? Then I went to see the movie, and in it, Jsu had a past life where his head got chopped off. I thought “that is very interesting”…..<\/p>\n

So, I stayed after the movie, for the question and answer part, and I really wanted to speak up, and tell of all my coincidences, that led me to seeing this film, but I have such a fear of speaking up in groups, that is why I decided to write you instead, and speak from my heart.<\/p>\n

I really wanted to talk to John-Roger and Jsu, I felt like there is something that I would be doing with their organization\/films. I feel like I know you both, we are all connected, aren’t we?<\/p>\n

Since the movie, I have been to your incredible, beautiful MSIA facility on Adams<\/a>. I have walked the Labyrinth there twice, and had phenomenal insight walking it. The gardens are so beautiful, it is like a UTOPIA. I attended the Spiritual Spa last Saturday with Nick and Deborah Segal, and it was wonderful. When they asked if anyone wanted to share, after we listened to J-R’s breathing meditation, I shared my experience since I knew I had such a release listening to it, and a lot of grief, that goes back to my childhood, and was surprised how well I did speak, but when you speak from the heart, it just pours out. <\/p>\n

I know that there still is something that I need to uncover that happened to me, when I was very young, that has prevented me from really flourishing in life, and attaining my true dreams, and that has prevented me from being a Spiritual Warrior in my life, and I am ready to be a Spiritual Warrior. <\/p>\n

I want to be a Spiritual Warrior, not a “POLLO” like I have been for so long. I grew up in Miami, Florida, and ever since I was a child, I always wanted to be an Actress and Dancer. I studied acting when I was younger, and had a Commercial Agent, but then just gave it up, because I needed to survive, and make a living. I studied makeup and theatrical makeup and worked for awhile as a makeup artist. One of my passions is dance, especially Latin dancing: Salsa, Meringue, Cha Cha, etc.<\/p>\n

Then I began studying and working in the medical field in Nursing, for over the last 5 years. But, when I went to see Spiritual Warriors<\/a>, I found myself feeling very passionate about the film, and life. I wanted to share this with you. I have always loved the Arts, and done many creative things in my life.<\/p>\n

I have been on the spiritual path for a very long time, studying Qi Gong, Reiki, Meditation, and on and on. When I went to the Center on Adams I felt so at peace, and at home.<\/p>\n

My birthday is Aug. 3, and I decided to be a Spiritual Warrior and communicate what has been on my mind, since I saw your movie. Thank you for listening to me, and letting me share my heart with yours.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n
