TOUCHING THE EAGLES

Darren and Karen
I started the day with pleasant conversation with Jim and Myra and their two children Darren and Karen. I had known Jim and Myra since 1962 when we lived in Calgary together.

Karen, age twenty, is six months older than my son Doug. She will be going into her fourth year of business and marketing at the University of British Columbia The marketing course includes advertising abd consulting sales. Karen enjoys the outdoors, camping, animals, people, travelling and skiing.

Darren enjoys skiing and reading. He has a computor and enjoys spending time with it.

Go to Banyen Books and Wait
I had planned on spending my second day in Vancouver at Expo 86. However the guides had other plans for me.

"Go yo Banyen Books and wait," I was told. So off I went to Banyen Books While driving down Broadway I noticed a bumper sticker on a car in front of me. 'Life is Hard.. Then You Die' I thought the sticker probably reflected the mental attitude of the driver, a young man who appeared in a hurry.

A little further on I saw another bumper sticker which asked the question. 'What Makes You happy?' This question gave me something to ponder.

Arriving at Banyen Books I was informed by the guides to go to the Health Food Restaurant which was one-half block away. When I arrived at the restaurant I ordered a fruit drink, sat down to enjoy it, and waited. After a few minutes I was told to wait by the phone, that someone would come to me with a question.

Do you know where Elm Street is?
As I approached the phone I noticed that a gentleman was using it. I stood neraby looking at the brochures on the shelf. After completing his call he started to walk out the door. He hestitated at the doorway for a moment, came back and spoke to me.

"Do you know where Elm Street is?"

Tom was a medical doctor in private practice in Santa Monica, California. He was on a leave of absence studying alternate health methods and how they might be introduced into traditional medical structure. When I told him I worked in the addictions field and was the director of an alcohol and drug outpatient service, he gave me the name of a very successful female doctor in Seattle who was doing wonderful things in this field.

After conversing with Tom the guides directed me back to Banyen Books.

Katrin Dressed in Pink
I went back to the bookstore and purchased several books. Then I was told by the guides to go outside and sit on the bench and wait for someone to come to me. After a few moments a small girl came out of the bookstore and walked up to me.

"Hi, I'm Katrin" she said to me as she smiled.

I talked with her for a few moments. She had a German accent and I had to listen carefully to understand what she was saying.

Katrin was dressed almost entirely in pink, the color of universal love. She was wearing a pink shirt, pink jacket, pink runners and a pink and white headband. She told me she lived in Germany and that she was four years old and that her mother was inside the store.

Shortly, Katrin's mother and brother and a friend came out of the bookstore.

"Talk to them", I was told

Katrin's mothers name was Kristen and her brother's name was Jan. The family were here from Germany visiting their friend Leslie.

Talking to Leslie I learned she was a school teacher at a secondary school in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver

My Friend Mary and Daughter Shelagh Come By
After Katrin and her family left I sat down on th bench wondering what would happen next. I was in for another surprise. The guides told me to stay close to the bookstore because someone I knew would be coming along.

After awhile along came Mary and her daughter Shelagh. Mary is an addictions counsellor in Kamloops and we had known each other for several years.

Shelagh, age twenty-two, had been working at Expo. She September she plans om attending the Emily Carr College in Vancouver. Mary and Shelagh went into the bookstore and I was guided back to the health food store.

Delightful Denise
Arriving at the health food store I ordered a herb tea drink and sat down to write in my journal. As I was writing I noticed a young lady seated several tables away. I got the sign from the guides to include her as a contactee.

Denise, age thirty, was single and a teacher. She taught English as a secondary language to people who have another language as their primary one; for example, people visiting Canada and Native Indians. She had always lived in Vancouver and enjoyed cycling and swimmimg.

Charlene
After leaving Denise the guides directed me back to Banyen Books. I was to sit outside on the bench and wait. After awhile a gal in her mid-twenties came out of the bookstore and sat on a nearby bench. We talked.

Charlene was born in Ontario and lived on the Prairies. She teaches Grade Seven at Richmond, a southern suburb of Vancouver.

Sandy Opens Her Home
That evening I was guided to attend a video showing at a private home in North Vancouver. I placed a call from a notice on a bulliten board at the bookstore and was invited to Sandy's home. There were twelve people there and we watched several hours of Ramtha videos. (Ramtha is an entity channelled by J. Z. Knight.)

Sandy was a delightful and entertaining hostess. I spent a most relaxing and enjoyable evening at her home. Thank you again Sandy for your hospitality.

It was late when I left Sandy's home and travelled back to Jim and Myra's. I looked forward to a good night's sleep.
