Letter from the Field: A New Knower in Central America

Hi Fred,

I am a missioner working with the poor in [a country in Central America, Ed.]. It’s not a ministry of proselytizing or conversion; simply presence and service. Two days ago, I went to the BATGAP site to find an interview to listen to as I fell asleep.  I went to the index and somewhat randomly picked your interview with Rick. As expected, I fell asleep shortly into the interview.

However, something I heard while I was drifting off must have resonated with me, because after I woke up yesterday I went to your website and then, without thought, bought “The Book of Undoing” Kindle edition. I asked my wife to protect me from the kids for a while so I could read chapters 2.3.4 together as you suggested. As I started to read, I questioned my decision to buy the book.

Fast forward 24 hours: it worked! It freakin’ worked! After years of pouring over “I Am That”, Ramana’s teachings, Robert Adams, Tony DeMello, etc. I finally saw it.  Hahaha!  Looking back, it was all there in those teachings, but I couldn’t quite see it!  I am still drifting in and out, but I’m OK with that! I don’t know why it worked, but unlike other times when I thought I “got it”, this time there’s no doubt. 

Thanks for writing the book. I could never afford one of your sessions, so I feel like I made out like a bandit! Who would of thought a guy in South Carolina would be the one to wake me up?! 

Best,
