Writing The Reason We Are Here – The Truth has been an experience of learning and growth that has been humbling, fulfilling, and amazing. I have been inspired and directed to deliver God’s message of the Truth that is stated within this text. I do not consider myself the author, but the messenger presenting the information. This is a gift I have been given, and I know that I am to pass it on.

     Writing a book is not something I ever thought I would do. The force to write this message was so incredibly strong I could not deny it. Throughout the process, it was important to me for the message to remain in its pure form. I did not discuss the contents with anyone until the book was completed. I did not want any outside influences involved, and this was in keeping with the guidance I was receiving.

     The text is as I received it. The message of this text is actually simple and basic, but the message may appear unrealistic and even an impractical way to live life. This is only because of the views of our egos, and how far away from the Truth our lives have become.

     I am not a religious person, and I am not a member of a religious organization. I have always had a deep faith in God and my allegiance is to God and his message of the Truth. The awareness of what I have known to be true has been with me since around age three.

     I have always had strong awareness of God, and hold what I know to be true in high regard, yet I have always lived my spiritual life in my own private world. It was not until one day in 1997, while listening to the radio on my way to a meeting, the focus of my spiritual life changed. There was an interview for a symposium being held that evening. Nick Bunick was discussing the book The Messengers, and he was going to speak. I knew immediately I had to attend the symposium. This was the first time anyone had made sense to me and confirmed what I knew to be true. About six months after the symposium, I decided to simplify my life and spend more quality time with my soul. 

     Early in 1999, God and Jesus spoke to me and told of their love. I was filled with the same love I had felt as small child. A few weeks later, I found myself wrapped in a blanket of love that was more intense and fulfilling than anything I had felt before. Words cannot describe the level of love and comfort. This feeling has remained with me and is a constant part of my life.

     Over the next several years, my thoughts, wants, and needs started to change. I then found myself at a crossroad. I knew I no longer wanted to continue living the life I was living. A good life, earning a good living, fulfilled materially, but pointless.

      Then 9/11/2001 occurred and my work came to a standstill. I took advantage of the time to continue to explore my soul. By the time January came, the thought of returning to work was not appealing. The connection to God, Jesus, and my soul had become stronger, and I loved the space I was in. By summer, information was pouring through me and by late fall I knew I was going to be writing the message I was receiving. The guidance was strong, but I was unsure of me. Who was I to be writing this message directed by God and Jesus. It took me until January 2003 to become comfortable with the idea. The guidance to write was so strong that I allowed it to direct me without question. I would awaken early in the morning, usually around 2:30, bright and alert, with the information pouring from me and I would write what I was receiving.

     The information came in various parts. In mid-March I organized my notes and began to type. As I typed, more information came to me. The text had a life of its own. When I went back and read what was on paper, I was amazed, remembering few of the details. I became overwhelmed with the information I was receiving, so I stopped mid-April to take stock of my thoughts.

      I realized I was holding back some of the information I was receiving. I was concerned with what people would think. Looking for guidance, I made an appointment with Julia Ingram, coauthor of The Messengers, for what I described to her as enhancement for my life. The session was more than I expected. The identity of my soul was revealed to me.

     In the session with Julia, I took myself back to a time two thousand years ago. It was revealed to me that I was Mary Magdalene during that time, and I carry a part of her soul now. I found myself in the most comfortable and familiar space I had ever been in. I have never felt so complete and whole. The love I felt, during the session, was the same love I had been feeling, but with an even stronger connection. My life, for the first time, made sense to me.

     I returned home and did not start working on the book for about two weeks. During the session, Jeshua told me to carry on his message. I knew I was to do this, but I needed to know, “Why me?” When I asked, Jeshua said to me, “Because you know my love.” During the session Julia asked, “Why was I to carry on the message?” Jeshua said, “People are tired, and they hunger to find life’s meaning.”

     When I went back to working on the book, I was instructed to rewrite the chapter about the Truth. It transformed into two chapters of specifics. During this time, I questioned if I need to be that specific. Jeshua said, “How else are they going to know unless we tell them. They will realize how simple it is when hearing it.”

     The experience of writing this text continued to amaze me. It was upon awakening one morning that I realized the importance of the Truth as it relates to learning life’s lessons. I immediately went back through what was written and was amazed to find the information already there. This occurred again at the end of September, when I realized the further meaning of the message was the reason we are here.

     I know all my life experiences up to this point were necessary to prepare me for this part of my life. My life, like all of our lives, is about learning and growth, and I am continuing to learn daily. I have had many spiritual experiences throughout my life, but none as profound and humbling as what I have experienced the last several years. The messages I had been receiving were what I already knew to be true, but the depth, meaning, and profound effect on my life was unexpected. I found myself in familiar yet uncharted territory. I knew I could not contain what I had been receiving, and I know that I am to deliver this message.

     The message of God’s Truth contained in this text is what each of us already knows within our souls. God’s message was not meant to be complicated, and it is in its simplicity that we have become lost. The message is simple. It is simply “love.”

     It is my hope in reading this text you will become inspired to change your life, even if only a little. You may not agree with every word, but I hope you are inspired to go within, become conscious, connected with your soul, and live your life embracing the journey.
