A message from Larry Hastings

A message from Larry Hastings

John Edward says there are no coincidences. When we learn to become receptive to our spirit guides and we learn to "tune in" to their vibrations, they seem to always want to help us out by clearing a path for our endeavors. Certain events or happenings in our lives may "seem" like coincidences, but ...in truth ...a lot of them are really "nudges" from the "folks".

During my journey, these "nudges" have come to me so many, many times that I now just take them for granted. (This is all discussed in detail in the book.) The folks make it pretty clear when they want you to do something.

It is through one of these "coincidences" or "nudges" that I met Larry Hastings.....a genuine Near-Death Survivor. Meeting Larry is one of the great highlights of my journey.

Here is the amazing story of how we met, followed by Larry's comments.

Discussion: In May and June of 2001, I was still trying to improve on my meditation techniques. One of the things I asked for was to meet a genuine person who had a Near-Death-Experience. I had no idea how to go about that search. So I just asked for it in meditation. For several weeks, nothing. I thought they abandoned me. I was about to give up. Then......

Journal Entry: Thursday, July 12 through Sunday, July 15....2001

There are two of us Lear-Jet pilots for our company. We had a trip leaving Thursday for Lebanon, Missouri, where the boss bought some property. We were coming back Sunday at 6 pm.

Now...Lebanon is a friendly little town, but not very much to do. So....being the one who gets the hotel rooms...... I booked the Sheraton in Springfield, one hour away. There’s a lot more to do there.

Our plan was to land in Lebanon Thursday evening and drive to Springfield, then drive back Sunday afternoon at 3 pm to eat and check out the town and hotels at that time, to see if there was more to Lebanon than appeared.

Thursday night, 6 pm

Checking the weather in Dallas, it said Lebanon had clear skies and would remain clear all night. No problem. HOWEVER...... when we were 15 minutes from our Lebanon landing (8:15 pm), the Air Traffic Controller told us that Lebanon had “suddenly” been covered by clouds and the visibility was deteriorating rapidly.

We tried an approach, which SHOULD have been a piece of cake, but the visibility was so low that we could not get in …and we tried twice...... and then we diverted to Springfield .......a few minutes away by air, and where the weather was fine. (The plot thickens.)

We told the boss (Daniel) and his wife (Dana) that we would get them a room at our hotel and fly them to Lebanon in the morning. Then we pilots would drive back to Springfield.

Meanwhile, after landing in Springfield, Daniel invites us for dinner at Applebee’s, across from the Sheraton. Here he talks us into canceling the Springfield hotel and staying in Lebanon Friday and Saturday so he can show us his property.

(Well..... sometimes it is wise to say yes, even when you don’t want to.)

So... next day we flew to Lebanon and got rooms at the Hampton Inn.

( What this is doing is setting up some circumstances that would substantially affect the purpose of this story.)

So, for the next two days, we take in Daniel’s new property and tour little ole Lebanon. On Sunday, the Hampton hotel was filling up for that day, so we were forced to check out at 1 pm. Well....we already toured the city, so that means we go eat and spend 3 hours at the FBO (terminal for corporate pilots) reading, watching TV, or doing crossword puzzles.

Sitting around at the FBO: After reading a couple magazines, I decided to go out to my luggage in the jet and get my book Hello From Heaven, which is almost finished now. As I was coming back into the FBO, the gal who runs it on Sundays (Kathy) looked at me and said “Excuse me....what is that book about?”

I said “Well.... ahem....uh.....ah.... it’s about near death experiences and after-life communications.” (I was a little hesitant, because most people think this stuff is a little hokey.)

She said “That’s what I thought. We have a pilot here in Lebanon, based at this FBO, named Larry Hastings who died for 20 minutes....and he shocked the entire hospital by getting up and walking off. He told me about the experiences he had while he was supposed to be dead. Is that what you are reading about ?”

Well...I just about fell over. “Yes......can you call him for me?”

And she did...and Larry was home, and we talked for over an hour. Absolutely fascinating ..... my first real contact with someone who had an NDE.

He related the whole story....floating around above his body and watching them try to revive him…...the tunnel…… the light…… meeting his spirit guide... everything exactly as it is explained in the books.

We made plans to meet again next week, as we were scheduled for another Lebanon trip from Friday noon till Sunday afternoon.

Journal Discussion: Now....this whole story came about by a series of very unusual circumstances .....starting with a mysterious “sudden” cloud over Lebanon and ending with a lady who was curious about my book.

Had we stayed in Springfield, I would not have been reading that book at the FBO. And this was the FIRST time since working for the company that we ever had to divert to another airport.

Larry’s Comments

I try to be a private person about my knowledge of and belief in the spiritual dimension, because many people and religions are just not into this. I even got myself into some trouble with my church when I tried to explain my near death experience to them. They were not very understanding. So I just left that church and found a more understanding one.

However, my experience over 20 years ago profoundly changed my life and the way I perceive the universe and God and our temporary existence here on earth. It really doesn’t matter to me what any religion preaches, because I KNOW what is the real story, and there is not an iota of doubt in my mind. The connection to my spirit guides is an awesome experience, and it gives me great comfort while I finish up here on earth.

As to my near death experience, skeptics can say “you were dreaming” and things like that, but how can they explain my gift of automatic writing? Or the psychic inputs that I experience in my dreams? Or how I can find a lost airplane that crashed? Or the “coincidences” that I experience on a regular basis that help me conduct a better life and keep me out of trouble? Or the out-of-body experiences and astral travel?

When Bob Dean called me on Sunday, July 15^th, 2001.…of course I was a bit cautious about talking to a stranger. But once I became comfortable about his spiritual journey, I could open up, and believe me …… I like to talk about it. Now we discuss it regularly.

He asked me if I ever watched John Edward or read about other mediums, and I just said “Who’s John Edward?” All of my knowledge came from my spirit guides, and it appears to be totally in tune with what John Edward says and what Bob has learned. When I “died” … and through automatic writing….I learned from the guides such things as why we exist…..how and why we should be spiritual….much guidance as to how to proceed in my life…..and much about the metaphysical universe. There was so much knowledge and information introduced to me that I could never possibly cover it all. But our purpose in this life is to love our fellow man and God, pursue a spiritual course, and help others as best we can. If everyone believed this way, there would be no more wars, or crime, or murders.

For all those who choose to pursue this course into spiritualism, I guarantee that your life will be enhanced ….and it will take on a new, more beautiful meaning. And it just gets better all the time.
