Book Cover & Preview Text
April, 1995 While working at St. Joseph’s Hospital, I planned to attend the Stroke Support Luncheon. It is at a local restaurant. During a meeting at 11:30, I sense that I shouldn't go. "Why?" I ask. "Don't go." The Inner Voice says. It is not a good idea to cancel as I want to see my ex-patients and their families. Visiting is also a chance to discuss my private practice and network. "Why?" I ask again. "Don't go." I have no lunch: if I don't attend, I'll go without eating. Frustrated, I keep asking. "Don't go," it repeats. As I'm participating in a meeting when this sense hits me, I'm unable to meditate and explore the direction. I resolve that I will miss lunch. I find E___ (the woman who had arranged the lunch) and cancel. At lunch, I'm alone. I sense that I must go to my office and meditate, so I do. Because all staff have left, I sit in my private office with my door closed. I assume a full lotus position on a small table, meditating (as I've done in the past). "What now?" I ask. A few moments pass. The hospital operator pages me as my phone rings. "Pick it up," the voice says. "Hello?" "John, are you busy? This is C___. " (A friend.) "No. What's up?" "Well, I’m not doing real well. In fact, I just returned from a sporting goods store. Bought a lot of ammunition. Hollow points. I'm taking out my neighbor. He's spying on me. Know that sounds kinda' weird, but I've got him in my sights right now. I’m not having a good day." At that moment, I knew why I cancelled. I proceeded to calm my friend.
The Pebble: This represented the result of years of being in touch with the Inner Voice, dialoguing with it via meditation and inner calm, and following the Inner Voice’s direction in the waking world.
