Gordon Michael Scallion
Gordon Michael Scallion (or GMS as he prefers to be called), was a man who was leading a very happy life aboard a thirty-foot sailboat and making, in his words, “incredible sums of money”. Then, in 1979, something happened which completely changed his life.
One afternoon, while he was in the middle of a conversation, he lost his voice entirely “in a split second”. He was taken to hospital where doctors conducted comprehensive tests of his vocal chords, larynx and throat muscles. Since they could find nothing wrong, they said his problems were psychosomatic.
But something very strange had definitely occurred. Within a few hours of leaving hospital, GMS found that his physical vision had changed. He now began to see colors and lights around animals, plants, trees and people. He had no idea what these colors meant and he thought that his vision was to blame.
For the next few months he consulted a variety of physicians and therapists. None could find anything wrong with his sight. Their recommendations were that he undergo either drug or shock therapy. It was a long time before GMS realized that what he was actually seeing were the “auras” of all life forms.
He decided that his best course of action was to leave Florida and hope that his vision problems would go away. He therefore returned to New England where, after a few months, he found that his vision had returned to normal. There were no more lights and colours.
Then, as unexpectedly as they had vanished, the lights and colours returned. But this time, in addition to his normal sight, he began to see moving pictures in his peripheral vision. Although many of these scenes were of people doing ordinary things, he also began to see scenes of ancient places, like Greek temples and glass domes.
Up until this time, GMS had lived a normal life. Although he was raised as a Catholic, he had no special religious or spiritual ambition in his life. As he described it: “I was just someone floating through life, very much into the material world”.
Then one day in 1985 GMS heard an inner voice which said: “We’re going to start training”. When he asked who the voice was, he was told that it was his “Monad” speaking. When he asked what this “Monad” was, he was told that it was a part of himself that he would have to discover on his own.
For the next few years this inner voice would return, usually around five o’clock in the morning. It would talk to him for about fifteen minutes, discussing such things as how the physical body or the earth worked. At the same time GMS found that he began to get visions of things that were happening in the world.
