About Elizabeth

One particularly powerful event occurred in August of 1964 when I nearly drowned off the coast of Mendocino. I was in a kayak with a friend when a huge wave hit the kayak broad-side while we were quite a way from shore. We tumbled over and over in the water unable to get out of the kayak (I don’t care for them to this day). As we spiraled in and out of the water, it seemed to me as though I had entered some kind of altered state where time stood still as the real-time situation I was in receded to the back of my mind and some other reality took over.

I shared this with Gramp later and he listened intently as I described what happened. He wanted to know every detail and then offered some insights as to what can occur during such traumatic events.

On another occasion, in my early 20’s, I was in a car accident where I rear-ended the car in front of me going about 40 mph (yes, my fault all the way). On impact, my head hit the inside of the windshield (it was a VW bug). As it did, I saw myself from outside the car, watching as I hit yet I didn’t feel a thing. I was later told that if I had had my head tilted up even another 1/4″ I would have broken every bone in my face. I broke none. I truly felt as though I was being protected during the entire incident.

I have had several other unusual incidents occur in my life and whenever I did, my Grandfather was always intrigued nd there to answer my many questions, always from a more alternative and mystical perspective. What an incredible gift to have him there for me this lifetime!

As well as being a wonderful and loving grandfather, Gramp was my mentor, anchor and guide as I began my exploration the mysterious, mystical world we live in. Many times we would stay up late into the night, him smoking his pipe in his study, surrounded by his many leather-bound books on the subjects that pulled at me. I have those books to this day and cherish every one of them.

Someday I intend to write more about my Grandfather and the things he taught and revealed to me. Perhaps even how he taught me to astral travel!

He was a wise, loving presence in my life for which I will always be grateful. I feel his wisdom, knowledge and capacity to love unconditionally guiding and inspiring me in my work and in my life to this day.

Blessings and Light to you as you journey on your Path.
