Geraldine’s Biography

At the age of 17, I had a strange dream where I saw my great-grand-mother’s ghost. She had passed away in the house, and I was grieving pretty heavily – I could not bring myself to go into her old room. 2 weeks after she died, I dreamed of a strange scene: all the family was reunited in the living room although they all seemed not to be really present or aware of being there. Then there she was: standing in front of the family. She only said one word: Merci (Thank you) and literally flew away. I ran back behind her as I had many questions to ask her, and I saw her re-enter her dead body.

This was my first out-of-body experience, however since I did not know such things existed I just dismissed it as a very strong dream. The very next day, I entered her room and I felt calm about it.

Then in 2004, I was diagnosed with cancer, in the last stage. One evening, I felt so tired and run down, that I went down on my knees and prayed for help. I did not know to whom to pray (my family was raised atheist), but I asked for strength to go through whatever I needed to go through even if it was to die. What I felt after asking was this wonderful love and strength – a feeling that is hard to put into words but that changed my life.

When I was told that I was in remission, I decided that since I had another chance at life, I was going to make it worth it. I did not know what I wanted to do. I just felt that there has to be something for me to do completely different than what was before cancer and I just kept remembering that moment of pure strength. So I asked myself many times: what do I want to do, what am I going to do?

Soon after in Fall 2005, I saw a poster on Dreams & Out-of-Body experiences at a friend’s house. This poster appealed to me in a ‘natural’ but very strong way. I started to attend the classes taught at the San Francisco Bay Area Gnostic Center, and within a few weeks, I had my first OBE. I was able to verify what I felt, that there is a higher purpose to life, that we exist in other dimensions and that the help I received that day when I was on my knees came from real higher beings.

Thanks to the Self-Discovery course, I was able to also understand my reactions to life’s situations and problems. This learning was even more profound as I could start seeing that we, as humans, are capable of internal change. This gave me hope that I could stop being a puppet of life, and start using life to live and learn.

The Gnostic Wisdom course gave me the tools to really start my inner spiritual search, which then lead me to want to teach others and pass along the same teachings I received freely.

I hope now to continue on my search as I help others either start or continue their own search.
