Summary of Sara Landon’s Story
Sara Landon writes that she never desired to be a channel, but she now can’t imagine her life any other way.
Growing up in a small town in a loving Christian family, she remembers being confused about her family's reaction to her mother’s sister, Aunt Sunnie. Sara was fascinated by the stories Aunt Sunnie told about past lives, the power of the mind, the supernatural, and, above all, the master teacher Mafu who was channeled by a lady named Penny.
As a young girl, Sara was devastated when she overheard her family making fun of Sunnie, saying she would go to hell and so would anyone who believed "that stuff."
Sara defiantly felt that if God could damn someone as wonderful as Aunt Sunnie to hell, it was not a God for her! Conflicted about her family's beliefs about Sunnie and what Sara had been taught about a loving God, she lost interest in religion. As she matured, she focused on her career and climbing the corporate ladder, and she was quite successful. Yet she was still searching for answers about God, Heaven and hell, and the meaning of it all.
Sara considered herself an atheist but found herself secretly searching out books and tapes of metaphysical teachings. A catastrophe struck in 2001 when her brother was killed in a car accident. She remembers feeling numb sitting in the viewing room at the funeral parlor listening to her mother sobbing.
How long she sat there, she couldn't say, but then something happened which changed her life. Suddenly she was enveloped in a perfectly peaceful feeling. She was completely at peace surround by a sense of love. She then heard her brother speaking to her, saying, “I’m still here, just not in my body.”
