a person that healed and talked of only peace?"

I was thinking, "That question will take hours to answer."

I wanted to explain about the "blood of Jesus" and how these words are protection; I felt this issue to be very important. I could tell he was puzzled. Then I decided I'll talk about Jesus crucifixion. "There is a mystery in the blood' that I don't quite fully understand myself, except when I say the words at anytime, I have protection. The New Testament teaches us that when Jesus was crucified and died he shed his pure blood on the cross for our salvation."

Swamiji shared with me a Hindu mystery. "The Yogi's can leave and return to their bodies, and cause their heart rate to slow to the point where one will think them dead. We have learned to tap into energy fields. This is an area that most people know nothing about." "I have a lot of questions," I said.

When Swamiji spoke about the Yogi's and things they could do, I felt another door opened.

"You know Jesus rose from the dead and walked on the earth. But he did something that no one else could do, he sent the Holy Spirit to live inside anyone who asks so they could have power in their life."

These words are worth repeating. Jesus said he could not be everywhere because he was just one person, but he would send the Holy Spirit. This is a promise in the book of John 14:26. "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost (Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (KJV)

This same story is found in again in John 16:7. "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter (Holy Spirit) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." (KJV)

Another puzzled look.

I continued and said, "Jesus showed himself many times after he rose from the dead and told them to wait for the gift that was promised to them, which is found in the book of Acts 1:3-5." I explained how I became filled with the Holy Spirit.

It is important to read the words in Acts 2:2-4. "Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire spreading out; and each person there was touched by a tongue. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak."

I love to visit and enjoy learning about different religions. For years, God has sent me as an investigator to new places. I always tried to keep an open mind and remembered not to judge others. I was thankful for these adventures as they increased my spiritual knowledge and understanding. We talked for a little while longer and then I went over to my usual spot to begin my meditation. That story to be written from my experience called, "The Kingdom of God and Swamiji."
