Some
thoughts from Ron:
I
am happy to share some thoughts about my life... The longer that
I am on this path of healing, the more I realize that it is the
sharing of our humanity with one another that creates the greatest
healing.
I
grew up in small towns in NC for most of my life. Right from the
beginning, I had a passion for learning and adventure, with a
desire to do everything possible - focused mostly in music, gymnastics,
academics, performing and riding horses.
Though
at the time I perceived my life as a happy one, I grew up in a
home that included alcoholism and divorce. Like most, I grew up
with people who were in pain and did not know how to share their
feelings honestly and intimately. It was a home where everyone
did the best they could. However, the problem was that none of
us knew a better way.
(And
I am happy to share that each one in my family is now on a unique,
conscious path of healing and development. They even get involved
in the process offered at Children of Light from time to time.)
In
addition to challenges in my family, nothing made sense about
the world as it was being presented. There were so many unanswered
questions. Examples include, "Why does this person live only a
short while and another lives so long?" "Why did I get lucky and
get born into what I am being told is the best country, the 'right'
religion, the best this and that?" "What do you mean that this
insures that I will get into heaven and all of those other people
are not so lucky." I began to rebel inside and so my life became
a search for deeper answers and something more.
As
I prepared for college, there were two primary areas that interested
me: healing and performing. So I began college as a double major
in pre-med and the performing arts. The plan in my head was that
I would continue to enjoy the arts, but would become a medical
doctor. However, my life has rarely gone according to plans...
I
have always been one to follow my heart and intuition. It soon
became clear that the Universe was opening doors that were leading
me further into the performance world. So I followed. I finished
my undergrad work at Baylor University and then continued to receive
two post-graduate degrees, a MM (Masters) and an AD (doctorate
in performance) at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
After
graduating, I was offered an apprenticeship with the San Francisco
Opera. From there, I began a performing career that took me all
over the world. I continued in the world of singing and acting
for ten years, performing over 60 leading roles. I was fortunate
to sing on stages from the Bolshoi Opera in Moscow to Lincoln
Center in New York to a couple of Broadway favorites - performing
Javert in "Les Miserables" and the title role in "Phantom."
During
the years of my performing, there were other opportunities opening
in my life. As I would travel, I would find myself in opportunities
to study with many types of healers. Little did I know that my
travels around the world would put me in an education of many
different healing modalities, as well as being exposed to many
different cultures. In that time, I worked with many wonderful,
loving people - including shamans, Reiki practitioners, kahunas
and more.
Other
developments led me into further exploration of the healing that
I thought I left behind in college. I first became aware of an
ability called being parasympathetic. For those who aren't familiar
with this term, it simply means that a person has the ability
to feel things that are going on in others in an acute way. For
instance, whenever my family would get sick or hurt I would feel
the symptoms in my body no matter how far away they were. This
happened once when my mother had a ruptured stomach ulcer in NC.
I felt the pain so acutely that I fell out of my desk in Cincinnati.
These
things were a bit unsettling, but proved to be one more thing
that would lead me to what I consider my soul destiny. What it
was beginning to show me is that we are all connected. We all
have a capacity to tune in and feel one another, if we are willing
to move beyond our defense and separation into a deeper intimacy
with life. As I began to contain my energy, I learned that I have
choices. And one of those enhancing choices is that when I work
with people, I can tune into their bodies and help them understand
where the energy is moving as a life force and where it is blocked.
As people become aware of their own energy, they are empowered
to make clearer choices for their own enhancement.
In
1990, my career brought me to my debut in New York. One week after
arriving, I was on a bus and heard someone talking about meditation
and metaphysics. I went to the person and said, "I don't know
who you are, but I know that I am supposed to talk to you." It
turns out that this man was Robert Baker, who was just beginning
to deepen aspects of his healing journey as well. And it seems
that he, too, had been on a lifelong search for deeper answers
and peace of mind. And it was later that year that he began channeling
Archangel Gabriel, which put us in the deepest education and personal
healing of our lives - and the time when the answers we had been
seeking all along began to fall into place.
So
a return to healing fast became the priority in my life. Though
I had already begun to work with people as a healing practitioner,
it was in 1996 that I put my career in the performing arts aside
to become a full-time healing practitioner. Little did I know
that I had been preparing for a career in the healing arts all
along - only not in the conventional way I had begun to pursue.
These
are the events and synchronicities that eventually led to the
creation of Children of Light.
Robert
and I spent over ten years studying and working with Gabriel to
put together the uniquely powerful system that we now teach -
a process of personal healing and self-empowerment. I am constantly
excited and inspired by how it enhances our own lives and the
lives of others in dramatic and powerful ways. After attending
a recent Prophet's Conference with some of the great minds of
science and psychology, we were more affirmed than ever that Gabriel
has taught us a process that allows an understanding of energy
and science, brought together in an integrative way that connects
spirit and science as we open to our rising soul energies.
We
have now had the opportunity to share this information with thousands
of people in various parts of the world. We have also been leading
groups to sacred sites around the globe since 1997, connected
to the seven initiations of Ascension or planetary healing that
we are now experiencing. These adventures have provided one more
way for us to share our piece of the healing puzzle. Another recent
expansion of sharing this information includes the fact that I
have begun to write some of the layers of all that we have been
learning and experiencing.
For
instance, my first book, Revelations for a Healing World, received
wonderful reception and reviews. It has now sold out its second
printing, so I am in a process of doing a second edition, due
out in 2009 (I hope). I have also written a book about the remarkable
final two weeks my family had to spend with our mother before
her passing. The way she lived was inspiring, as well as the way
she left this physical world. I also found that we were able to
bridge during her time of transition - so that in meditation I
was able to perceive exactly what she was experiencing! She would
wake up and confirm this every time...another remarkable affirmation
of the connection of physical and spirit. That book is called
"Serenity: A Loving Journey of Transition."
In
all that I have had the chance to experience, I am happy to share
that life finally makes sense to me...it makes remarkable sense.
As a matter of fact, the more I learn at this point, the more
I am in awe of the privilege that life can be.
So
these are some thoughts about my life - a life that has been rich
with adventure, love and healing. Thanks for sharing a bit of
my story. Hopefully one day we will have the opportunity to touch
hearts.
Blessings
to you all!
