On One Side Of The Room Was A Fireplace And Across From That Stood A Piano, A Gift From My Wifes Parents. The Piano Bench Was Pulled Slightly Away From The Piano. Wed Been Talking For Just A Short While When June Turned To Me And Said, The Man Sitting On Your Piano Bench Says That Hes Here To Help You Understand New Things.Having Known June For Such A Long Time We Should Have Been Used To Such Comments,especially When Only The Three Of Us Were There And I Was The Only Man Present.I Looked Across And Saw Only An Empty Bench. What Man Are You Talking About, June? I Asked.She Said, The One Over There. Hes Now Looking At You And Smiling.Dont Do That To Us. You Know I Cant See Anyone Sitting There.He Says You Know Him, John, That Youve Met Before. He Has A Beard And Dark,piercing Eyes. He Says He Wants To Help You In Your Growth And Learning And That Youve Been Going Through Experiences Instead Ofgrowingthrough Them.Thats Gideonthe Description Fit Him Perfectly. Whats His Name, June?I Cant Get The Exact Sound But It Seems To Be Simeon . . . Or No . . . It Has A G. It Starts With A G. His Name Is Gideon. He Said That You Ought To Know The Spelling Because Not Too Long Ago You Saw It On A License Plate. He Laughed As He Said That.He Said That You Ought To Keep An Open Mind. Hes Saying Good-bye Now And That Hell See You Again Soon. Now Hes Gone.So, It Was Gideon Again. But I Couldnt See Him This Time. Neither Could Mardai. Only June Saw Him. But Then, She Always Saw Things Others Could Not. We Discussed This For A While And I Recounted How I Met Gideon And The Events That Occurred Thereafter. June Seemed To Understand And, Like Gideon, Asked That I Keep An Open Mind.Its Your Strict Scientific Background That Causes You To Stumble Many Times, John.Maybe She Was Right. I Was Always Trying To Be Logical About Everything. In My College Days,I Was Trained As A Chemist And Mathematicianlabs, Research And Analyzing. Perhaps, More Than Most, I Insisted On Seeing Before Believing. And This, In Spite Of The Fact That I Knew And Accepted June And Her Abilities.Yet, The Most Successful Times In My Life Were When I Guided Myself By The Still, Small Voice. Some People Call It Gut Feelings, Others Call It Intuition. The Times That Caused Me The Most Problems Were Those When I Drowned Out The Inner Voice With Logic And Analysis. I Really Needed To Learn How To Re-program My Thinking. I Decided Then And There To Balance Logic And Intuition, To Let Them Work Together Instead Of Against Each Other And To Follow The Inner Guidance More Consistently.To Read The Rest Of The Story Visit Http:www.spiritual-simplicity.com
