My Spiritual Awakening

Part 1

“It’s a bright March day as I look out of the window, I have Spotify playing and I’m in a reflective mood. I can’t believe 64 years have passed so quickly. When I look back over my life I realise how lucky I have been to witness the impossible and implausible. I have met many wonderful people on my path who have both inspired me, taught me and have become good friends.”

Let me tell you a bit about myself:

“Many years have passed and I have walked down many paths since I first began questioning life’s mysteries. It was over fifty years ago that a rather shy boy, different from other children, I was happy in my own thoughts and spent many hours just enjoying my own company. Why most of my friends were discovering football, girls and smoking I had a “Eureka” moment.

It came about after buying a second hand copy of Chariots of the Gods by Eric Von Daniken at a local jumble sale my mother frequented looking for bargains. It leapt out at me from the bookstall and as soon as I arrived home I read it from cover to cover. That one book set me on a pathway to investigate, learn and discover many unexplained things about the world we live in.

It sparked my interest in UFOs and Aliens, ancient technology’s and civilisation’s, Magic, Witchcraft the Supernatural and much, much more. But more than that it made me think, it made me question and it sent me on a lifelong search for answers that continues to this day.

Those far off days were full of discovery, of magic and wonder as I went from one Jumble sale to the next looking for books on the supernatural, the paranormal anything that would give me nuggets of gold, I became a walking question mark asking many questions; why are we here? Is there a God? Is there reincarnation? And are UFOs/Aliens real? Is there life on other planets? What are Ghosts?

I felt what can best be described as an Inner calling it was as though I know something deep inside my soul but couldn’t remember what it was but I just knew there was more to life than this. I had what you could call “visions” as a boy and I also suffered nightmares and sleep paralysis.

Years later I realised I was having my first glimpses of the unseen world(s) that surround us. I used to think a lot, an awful lot to be honest and I still do to this day. I am very analytical being a Virgo I question everything.

I vividly remember that I would awake in the night frozen with fear as the atmosphere in my bedroom seemed to change, to become very still almost as though it was charged with some sort of energy or electricity. Lying in bed I used to hear a sort of “Clicking” noise as though someone was walking through a woods and the old, dead twigs were breaking beneath their feet, I would become paralysed with fear, sweating I tried to cry out but couldn’t as the noises came closer and louder, eventually I would yell out “MUMMMMM” and my mother would come rushing in the room explaining that I had a nightmare.

On other occasions in the early hours of the morning I would dream such vivid dreams I could remember every detail. Often in colour I would write them down something I do to this day. They are so real I feel I am sometimes witnessing some unseen world as an observer. I used to see strange shapes and colours floating around my bedroom as though they were floating in water, strange creatures not unlike fish from the depths of the ocean, lights, and other weird stuff.

My mum though I imagined it or dreamt it, but I didn’t, It was very real to me. I also found I had what today would be called past life recall. I could remember things from our distant past and see them in my minds eyes as though I was watching a television screen of moving images. One of my earliest “visions” was of the world being like an onion, made up of many layers and dimensions all co-existing beside and inside each other but none being aware of the dimension next to them. I believe this is what science and modern string theory is just “discovering” today, that there are many dimensions, and many of you and me living our lives in different dimensions simultaneously having differing experiences at the same time.

So here I am at 64 writing this from memory and my extensive diary’s, everything you read really happened and I witnessed it personally, I can’t explain it and I don’t have all the answers just pieces of the puzzle of this thing called “Life”

I consider myself an explorer of the unknown and like all explorers I have travelled many paths, some dead ends some providing answers to questions. My early interests lead me into White Witchcraft, The Rosicrucian’s, The Knights Templars, Magic (Both of the entertainment Kind and Occult kind), Meditation, Healing, Tarot, Spiritualism, Mediumship, Clairvoyance, Martinism, Mysticism, Hypnotherapy, Psychology, and Philosophy, consciousness and Spirituality. Today I still question, I still search, and I work as a Healer and Clairvoyant from my home in Kent. I hope this very brief glimpse into part of my world will inspire you to search for yourselves and I sincerely hope your search proves as fruitful and wonderful as mine has been.

May light shine upon your path and Love illuminate your heart  Ian Broadmore 06/03/2024
