 Around, I think I went through hermitage experiences where I went off and lived in the woods with the course book. I went through one of those around 1987, 1988, in the woods of Kentucky, where I was catching rainwater with those big tarpaulins and experimenting with different things. I thought I would really go after the ego and I would just have a very simple diet of bread and water until I experimented with Henry David Thoreau with different kinds of bread to make and Pancake one. Pancake was the easiest to make, but the ego revolted big time. It's like, oh no, you think you're just going to pull away from me, put a simple little diet of bread and water? It's like, the ego's like, oh I'm more formidable than that. There are mistakes and saints that have come at me for centuries and try to make it dense, but the ego's like brevity. It's like this real heavy sense of guilt and shame and pain and death that seems to grip the mind that believes in this world. So I had a hermitage experience there and then later on I think around 1995, I had a hermitage experience. The first time I really couldn't get very deep into meditation. The ego was laughing at me with my meditation practices because I was very much like a beginner at many things and the ego was like, oh you aren't going to escape me. You think I've got chatter going now? I'll crank it up a few notches for you. You're not even going to get down to that stillness. But I just listened to Jesus and Jesus said, let's find, you need to be in service. I will direct you how to be in service. And as you follow my directions, I will wash away your resistance to love, your resistance to the light. In a very natural way. You don't have to fight the ego and do battle with it. Just listen and follow. Just show your intuitive. Listen and follow. And so that began the process of me beginning to visit Course America's groups starting around the late 1980s and 1991 when I began my travels. Just where I was invited or where Jesus guided me. So like that last 10 minutes of that Course group was Jesus doing like, you need to go there. David would not have gone there walking in the last 10 minutes of the Course America's group. That would have been, you know, out of bounds. But I was simply to listen and follow. And then I went through, was guided into some relationships which really flushed up a lot of thoughts. You know, those relationships are such a strong form of mirror. And then I had another vintage experience around 1995. And that, I was able to sink into the silence because it wasn't David trying to be silent. The personality self is part of the problem. It's not our divine self. So when our personality self has its wants and desires and we try to do the spiritual journey as a personality self, the ego is like sitting back like a little spider in the web. So I'm very good. Keep up with that practice. A few more decades or centuries and you might make a dent in me. And I was like, no, that's not, I need to let go of some of the spiritual practices even. And the ego that is desiring to do the practices has to be let go of as well. But by the mid-1990s, I was, it's more like the silence found me. Instead of me trying to find the silence, I just prepared myself to open up. And so, growing forward a bit just to give you a little background around, I had people showing up wanting to be my students in more of a traditional way. Teacher-student things and gurus and that, which I worked with then very intimately in the 1990s. And then in 2003, I had been working with a woman who was working with the Course since early on, around 1987, I think, when she started. But she was very stagnant with the Course and she wasn't reaching any experiences or depth with it. And her friend said, why don't you go see David? And she would come to my kitchen table and listen to quite a few hours of the talks and ganderings that I've done with Willows. But nowadays, they put them on MP3 players and go off to a retreat. And those days, she was using the set tapes, which we had recorded some of the ganderings with. And she would listen for hours and then she would come visit me with the question of the day. And then we would join together in presence. And her question of the day would be answered. And then she would get a song from the Angels. Sometimes a two or three-part harmony song, you know, quite, you know, extravagant and so forth. They were really beautiful songs. Welcome. Come on in. The gang's all here. Yeah. Who it is? I think she was just basking in the love and the peace right in the center of the circle. So anyway, she would come and she would have us joining with me and she would receive like a download almost like a whole song, kind of like Mozart would get his piece of the music back in the direct download, the whole piece. And she would get the whole song that she would record it into a little dictathon. And if there were harmonies, she would sing the harmonies in and then she would go back. And eventually she was getting those songs so fast that it wasn't like several songs that kept coming like getting biscuits out of the oven or cookies. After a period of weeks, she would have a mask enough to put together a CD. I have a typical CD with 12 or 15 songs, 20 songs. And then that was the first CD, then the second, then the third, then the fourth. It was just like huge. It was a whole pathway to God. Just came through our joining. And this woman was using all these songs from the angels. But from the test to some of these songs, they're quite beautiful. It's like a whole pathway to God. So I was basically sharing them freely on the internet and saying, you want three songs from the angels and I will marry you with a CD. And the woman from Argentina wrote and said, I would love to have some of these songs, but I live in a faraway country. I'm down in Buenos Aires. And I think you can afford to just send me these things, but if you could afford it, I wouldn't like to have a CD. So I told Resta, and by that time she had recorded maybe four or five whole CDs, probably like over 100 songs. And so she wrote to the woman and said, yes, we gladly will send you the whole set. Just give us your postal address. And someday we may make it to other countries. We may make it to Argentina. And then at one point she basically, I was walking through the little peace house where I live. And Resta showed me the email. And the email said from the woman, thank you for sending me this CD. And so happy to hear that you are coming to Argentina. And I said, Resta, what did you write in the email? What did you tell her? And she said, well, I just put that someday we might be willing to go to other countries. And she wrote, so happy to hear you're coming to Argentina. So Resta and I started off on a trip, a six-week trip, shortly thereafter. And I met a man on the first stop named David, and I was taking a walk in the woods, and I was telling him the whole different things about my life. And he said, have you ever thought about going to other countries? And I said, no, I really have not given up that much. I'm in the US and the United States and Canada. He said, I think you're supposed to take this show on the road. And I think you're supposed to go to other countries with this joy and this love and this message. I said, well, if it's in the plan, I'm sure it will make it so fabulous. He said, we did have this lady who just wrote to us and said, so happy to hear that you're coming to Argentina. He said, Argentina. Oh, I love Argentina. I go all around the world. That's one of my favorite places, Buenos Aires and this and that. And he said, actually, I can see that happening. I said, oh, really? And he said, I'm a business man, and I travel for pleasure in business, but I rack up all these frequent flyer miles. When I entered this contest with the South American Airlines, the grand prize was one million frequent flyer miles.
