Just read my past few posts. Can imagine anyone reading this apart from myself simply wouldn't know where i was coming from.

I've already had my 15 minutes of fame, I was a baby that shouldn't have survived. See, my mum suffered from multiple sclerosis in her youth and this rendered her immobile at a young age. By some miracle she recovered - slowly, with alot of hard work and faith she has now recovered as near fully as makes no difference. This was a woman who was told she would never walk again and never have children. So, My 15 minutes where I was in newspapers and on the telly were when I was first born. A miracle baby. Christianity, faith in miracles and being in the presence of good people with a great deal of faith were all part of my childhood.

I guess the other early influence was star wars. There are a few generations now who grew up wanting to be a Jedi Knight. To have powers above the rest, to be in tune with the force and given the belief that we are more than what we can see. In the words of Yoda, "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter".

So I have had installed in me a knowledge that we are more than we can see, but I have little idea of the nature of it. I guess this is my story, the path I have taken and will take to find that out.

Faith manages.
