CHAPTER 1

We Are All Connected

As I continue along this journey, I have asked myself repeatedly, "Is this what I have been called to do?" The answer is always yes. Despite the insecurities about whether my insights will resonate with others, I truly believe that my purpose is to spread messages of hope. It is with this knowing deep within that I have chosen to go in my current direction.

I know and fully accept that absolutely nothing happens by accident. It is as a result of our own manifestation, consciously or unconsciously. People say that nothing happens before its time, and the lesson of "I am that I am" was delivered to me at the time it was supposed to.

May 13, 2013, was the night I saw the movie The Moses Code for the first time. While I was watching it, I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand on end. For the past few months I had been embracing wholeheartedly the concept of everyone being connected, of us being part of God and vice versa. The Moses Code attempts to explain the concept of "I am that I am." According to the Bible, those words were told to Moses by God when Moses questioned God about his ability to lead the Israelites to "a land flowing with milk and honey." Exodus 3:13–15 (NKJV) says,

And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, what is his name? what shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you. And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

I first became aware of the existence of The Moses Code through the teachings of Dr. Dyer. I was introduced to I Am Meditations, a CD that he did with James Twyman. I was looking at a video of one of his talks when he gave away the CD, and I thought to myself, Oh, I want that. I also went onto YouTube and was able to find some of the meditations. Since then I had been doing the meditations, and every time I listen to them, I feel the power of God moving within me. I imagine the scene when Moses stood in front of that burning bush and God said to him, "I am that I am," and he said, "Thus, you shall say to the children of Israel, `I am has sent me to you.'" I have also come across those words, "I am," repeatedly while I have read the Bible in recent months. Then one day I discovered the film The Moses Code on YouTube. How it happened really does give validity to the concept that when we focus on something, it will make itself visible in our lives.

The morning of the day I saw the film for the first time was a challenging one for me. My mother had to visit her doctor to get the results of some blood tests she had done a few days before. She was scared, and my father and I were worried. I wasn't able to go with her to the appointment since I had a work deadline I had to meet. She wasn't looking her best, which added to my concern. On the morning of the doctor's visit I awoke and immediately said a silent prayer while I was still in bed. She and my father left for the doctor's appointment, and I tried not to worry too much. Instead I called on God to watch over both my parents and to just "make everything okay." I was working from home that day, so I decided to do the "I am" meditation.

As I once again went to that familiar place that I call "my Moses realm," I felt at peace, and I knew that she would be just fine. I envisioned her and my father being at my book launch, and I thought about us going out to dinner and grocery shopping like we usually do. While I was meditating, I felt that complete oneness with everything around me. I understood that all-encompassing power of the divine. I felt my soul connect with the universal energy. It scared me, but at the same time the feeling of fulfillment and joy was almost indescribable.

My mother's appointment was at 1:00 p.m., so an hour later I called my dad. He answered the phone with a cheery "yaoh," which was our little happy code for, "HI, how are you?" My heart jumped with joy because I knew right away the news was good. He didn't have to say anything else. I just knew.

I asked, "So how did it go, and where's Mom?"

"Oh, we're on our way to get lunch. Everything is perfect. Even the doctor was shocked."

This was like music to my ears. I asked him to put my mom on the phone, and her first words were, "I was so scared, but now I am relieved. Thank God." It turned out the test results were excellent. Her sugar level was where it should be. Her cholesterol was good as well, and her kidneys were functioning perfectly. She told me that her doctor was amazed and asked her what she had been doing to get these excellent results. I looked up at the ceiling and thanked God, and I thanked him again over and over even as I was talking to my parents on the phone.

As I hung up, I realized that I wasn't surprised. This just reinforced my belief in the incredible nurturing, life-saving power that could be ours if we only believed and understood how this mystery of attracting and manifesting worked. It's about connecting in a deep and meaningful way with our source and understanding the power of those words, "I am that I am."

Later that night while I was browsing on YouTube, I came across the film The Moses Code. The dots were connecting. It all made so much sense. I was already living The Moses Code, and a large part of that, I believe, had to do with me realizing my destiny. Author Michael Bernard Beckwith said something during the film that made me sit up in wonderment because it summed up everything I was feeling. Michael said, "Everyone has to come to grips with the fact that there is something calling all of us and we are presently not the person to deliver that destiny. We grow into it as we say yes to it. There is an old statement that says, `God does not call the qualified God qualifies the called.' So when we answer that call, the presence qualifies you."
