Laura Lee Galan - Autobiography
Many years ago I was inspired by these words of Albert Einstein: "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of all religiousness."
My own spiritual journey into the mysterious began with an out-of-body experience. One night, while I lay sleeping, I felt my soul leave my physical body, which remained motionless in the bed beneath me. I sensed the presence of a spiritual being who emanated pure love. The spirit introduced himself as Jesus Christ and told me not to be frightened. I started moving towards him and melded with his spirit. Within seconds I had left the earth plane. I entered a new dimension where whatever I thought about happened instantaneously. I remember thinking that I wanted to move in a certain direction, for example, and found myself being propelled through space at the exact same time that I had the thought. I don't know how long I was out of my body because time, as we know it, did not exist in the realm that I entered. I only remember awakening in my own bed the next morning.
Several weeks later I was exposed to high frequency energies that were so intense I actually felt like my entire body was on fire. The energy had a strange affect on my conscious awareness in that it changed my perception of reality. I noticed, for example, that the walls in my living room were not really solid as they usually appeared, but were actually made of trillions of atoms that were all in motion. I came to comprehend that I was seeing the world through the eyes of the spirit, and realized that my normal eyesight provided me with a limited understanding of the world at best.
The mystical state of consciousness I was enjoying continued for several minutes undisturbed. Then, all of the sudden, I became cognizant of a powerful spiritual being who proceeded to envelope me in his light. I knew that I was standing in the presence of the Father who began to reveal his word to my mind. He told me that I had come into the world to fulfill a special purpose; but noted, that before this could be accomplished, I would need to be united with my Guardian Angel or Higher Self. Shortly thereafter I started to go through profound physiological transformations.
The Mystical Keys to the Book of Revelation describes the changes that took place within my soul and physical body, during a period of about three years, as I was continually exposed to the light of the Holy Spirit. At the same time, God and his angels taught me the true meaning of The Book of Revelation. This book, which has been so misunderstood by humanity, actually describes, in symbolism, the stages of metamorphosis that occurs within the soul as it is being transformed by the energies of the Holy Spirit. Throughout The Book of Revelation, for example, reference is made to men being burned with fire. My own exposure to the fires of the spirit revealed that these high frequency energies only affect the lower aspects of the ego: They help purge the soul of negative emotions and Antichrist impulses such as the desire to overeat or shop compulsively.
John the Baptist also made reference to the fires of purification: "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire" (Matt. 3:11-12). The chaff that burns represents lower emotional energies such as fear, anger, jealousy, lust, hate, envy, etc. These negative manifestations represent the faces of the Antichrist, and are the tendencies that must be overcome before the soul can attain unification with the Higher Self.
The Mystical Keys to the Book of Revelation describes, in detail, the changes that I went through as I worked to attain self-mastery over the forces of evil. Now that I've traversed the higher spiritual planes, and overcome my own bestial influences, I often get asked to share the wisdom I've earned. I help as many as I can, and try to reach others through my writing. I am presently working on my second book entitled "Angelic Teachings On Myths, Legends, and Fairy Tales." My writing is being inspired, once again, by God and his angels who are teaching me the esoteric significance of special myths and fairy tales that are intended to seed the consciousness of the Christ child. For example, when I was a small child, I was fond of the story of Cinderella who symbolizes the feminine spirit that is trapped in the underworld by the powers of darkness. In order for the female spirit to be freed from the Antichrist's influence, which the wicked Stepmother and Stepsisters embody, she must be united with a Son of God who, of course, is depicted as the Prince. Cinderella's fairy Godmother is the Higher Self who wishes to bestow the gift of love and light on the soul.
I have never regretted my decision to tread the spiritual path. I am happy to say that my efforts have led me to a state of complete peace as I am no longer chained in the dark, a victim of karmic circumstance. By choosing to put myself in the hands of the Divine Spirit I have been freed from the lower realms where the Antichrist is ever vigilant and active. I now look forward to each day, knowing that the Divine Spirit illuminates my way. You will find that your life, too, will become a reflection of truth, and will be filled with inspiration and love, as you are aligned with your Higher Self. May God and his angels shine their light upon you as you tread the path that leads to life eternal.
Excerpts from The Mystical Keys to the Book of Revelation
Introduction
When I was a little girl I often dreamt of falling in love with a handsome prince. The many fairy tales that I was exposed to as a child inspired my dreams. These stories always ended with: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I grew to be an adult my fantasies of love were replaced by a dull and loveless marriage. With each passing year I sank deeper and deeper into depression. I finally realized that if I did not end my marriage my soul was going to die, so I left my husband.
After my divorce I spent several years on my own. During that time my life took on new meaning. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery that was to lead me into the arms of true love and unite me with my soulmate. I now understand that wishes do come true and that real love is not simply what fairy tales are made of, but is the foundation of an immortal bond that survives death. I invite you to partake of my journey in the hopes that it will inspire you to seek love in your own life.
The Mystical Keys to the Book of Revelation also provides information that will allow the reader to understand The Revelation of St. John the Divine. I was chosen to be the recipient of this knowledge because my own spiritual path is intimately connected to and, in fact, closely parallels many of the transformations that are described in The Book of Revelation. The interpretations of these Scriptures are not my own, but were obtained directly from God and his angels. I have been privileged and honored to commune with the seven angels of the seven churches that are mentioned in chapters two and three of The Book of Revelation. I have, to the best of my ability, written down the information exactly as it was revealed to me. God is releasing this information at this time because the planet is entering a new phase in its own life cycle. Very soon the souls of humanity are going to be subjected to powerful spiritual frequencies that will be responsible for transforming the soul and aligning it with a higher state of consciousness—what God calls the Christ Consciousness. It is important to understand that God has given the soul the gift of freewill. You must consciously choose the path of love and work towards its attainment if your soul is to be purposefully transformed.
The fact that I received these revelations from God and his angels is what makes this book so valuable. The actual symbolism and meaning of the Scriptures came alive for me as the Divine Spirit filled me with the light of understanding. If you’ve ever been curious about what the future holds for humanity then this book is for you. I believe that many people feel that great changes will soon take place upon the planet, but don’t know if they will be beneficial or detrimental to mankind. There is always a positive as well as a negative way of looking at things because our thought processes reflect the duality that is inherent in all human beings. The truth is often a combination of both positive and negative outcomes, as you will discover as you read this book. I hope that The Mystical Keys to the Book of Revelation will aid you in your own evolutionary process, and will help you find the path that leads to true love. May God’s light shine upon you as you continue your journey through time.
Chapter One - New Beginnings
In the year 1141 of the incarnation of Jesus Christ,
the Word of God, when I was forty-two years and seven
months old, a burning light coming from heaven poured into my mind.Like a flame which does not burn but rather kindles,
it inflamed my heart and my breast,
just as the sun warms something with its rays.
—Hildegard 1985:2
I awoke to a beautiful spring day. I quickly got dressed and ate my breakfast. I decided that I would go for a walk and enjoy the weather. I stepped outside and inhaled the pine-scented air. I noticed two birds bathing in a small pool that had formed at the side of the road from the rain that had fallen just an hour before. I looked up at the sky and saw a rainbow descending from the heavens. The rainbow reminded me of a staircase; not an ordinary staircase for it was much too grand for mere mortals. No, I thought to myself, the rainbow is a staircase that is fit for God’s angels. I wonder if they use it to visit the earth? I had never actually met an angel, but I was sure that they existed. I said a silent prayer to God and asked him if he would reveal the truth about his angels to me. In particular, I wanted to know if I had an angel watching over me.
That night, as I lay sleeping, I dreamt that I was standing on top of a mountain. A white light was emanating from my body. Without warning the dream changed scenes. I saw myself walking through a valley. The arm of God appeared from out of the sky and patted me on the head. I was not afraid, simply awed, that God would take the time to touch me. I awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and invigorated by my night’s sleep.
About a week later I experienced an event that was to change the course of my life. One night, while my form lay resting comfortably in bed, I found myself floating above my body. I felt a presence—a spirit of light—watching me. He introduced himself as Jesus Christ. I went to him and melded with his spirit. Within seconds my soul had left the earth plane. I became conscious in an entirely different world; in this realm thoughts appeared to be alive. My mind seemed to have the power to reproduce in form whatever I was thinking. I thought about my bedroom, for example, and it appeared right before my eyes. Somehow matter was responding to the impulses coming from my mind. I don’t know how long I was out of my body because time did not to exist in the dimension I had entered. I just remember Christ returning me to my sleeping form. Then in a flash he was gone.
The next morning I awoke in a highly emotional state. The experience had touched me deeply. I spent the next three days crying off and on. I felt as if Christ’s energy was still permeating my soul, cleansing and healing parts of me. My out-of-body experience signaled the beginning of my soul’s awakening, and of my transformation into a spiritual being.
Several weeks later I was inspired to read The Revelation of St. John the Divine. I opened the Bible to the first chapter and read:
The Source of the Revelation
The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bear record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all things that he saw.Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
The Salutation
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.The Voice and the Vision
I, John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. (Rev. 1:1-20)As I read these words I became aware of a vibration in my heart. This vibration was very powerful and was accompanied by an intense heat or fire. The fire swept through me travelling via the spine into the upper regions of my body. When the vibrations had reached a high intensity, I became aware of the presence of God. “Fear not, little one, I am the Father of all things,” he said. “Many times you have asked me in prayer to bestow upon you the gift of understanding. I have come to grant your request. I am going to guide you along the path of wisdom and love for a definite purpose.”
I was so overwhelmed by God’s presence that I started to cry. I told God, telepathically, that I was honored to meet him. I could feel God’s love permeating my soul as he continued to reveal his word to me: “I have guided you towards The Book of Revelation because the time is quickly approaching when the things that have been documented in this book will come to pass. I am going to reveal the true meaning of these Scriptures to you and would ask that you write down my interpretations so that other souls can benefit from our communion.”
“I would be pleased to help,” I answered.
“The vision that St. John saw was of my son, Jesus Christ,” God continued. “He appears in this vision in his resurrected state of being. Spirit is the light of eternal mind and permeates the subatomic or unified field of the universe. To look upon the spirit is to behold the fires of consciousness. Moses perceived my fiery countenance when he gazed upon the burning bush. The fires that you are presently receiving are from the Holy Spirit—the feminine aspect of the Solar Christ. The assimilation of the energies of the Holy Spirit will allow you to become conscious of the spiritual kingdoms of nature that are governed by the Divine Mother. This is the realm that the souls who practice the ancient spiritual arts such as Shamanism are in touch with.
“Two thousand years ago a New Age—the age of the Divine Son—was inaugurated by Christ. His disciples who incarnated with him, as well as the souls who followed his teachings, were baptized by the Holy Spirit. Those who rejected Christ did not receive the blessings of the Holy Spirit. A new window of opportunity is before mankind. You are standing on the brink of another New Age. Shortly, the fires of the Divine Spirit will descend upon humanity and will initiate the transformation of the soul in those who stand ready to receive the gift of life and love.
"It is important for you to realize that every soul has a Higher Self or Angel that was created in my image. The Master Jesus fused with his Higher Self and was resurrected or transformed as a result of this communion. Once the soul has fused with the Higher Self it is given a mission to fulfill on the physical plane. This mission relates to the Higher Self’s function in the heavens. I chose St. John to be a witness to my son’s resurrection because he is an integral member of the Planetary Hierarchy—the governing body of angels who watch over the earth. St. John’s Higher Self is a manifestation of the Angel of Death. This angel’s divine purpose is often misunderstood because of the fear that the human ego has of death. The Angel of Death is really the great liberator. He cuts away and destroys all forces existing in the soul that are not in harmony with the divine will. The Angel of Death insures that only the essence of love is preserved.
“At the time of the Apocalypse, St. John’s Higher Self will be in charge of assisting the earth with its metamorphosis into a higher life form. Just as the caterpillar immerges from its cocoon fully transformed into a butterfly, so, too, will the earth be transformed as it is aligned with the Spirit of Christ. As this rebirthing occurs, the souls of mankind will find that their consciousness will also undergo rapid changes.
“The earth is presently under the dominion of the Antichrist. This entity, which exists in fear, corrupts mankind by stimulating the baser desires in the human soul. The forces of the Antichrist—the passions and instincts of humanity—need to be controlled and mastered. Once the soul has achieved self-mastery it is able to assimilate the frequencies of the Higher Self. I will show you how to transform and subdue the lower impulses coming from the instinctual plane as you continue on your path.”
“Why does the Scripture indicate that the earth shall wail because of him?” I asked. “I would think the people of the earth would rejoice in the coming of Christ.”
“It is the souls who are under the influence of the Antichrist who will wail. I only need a small number of souls to choose love over the influence of the Antichrist in order to start transforming humanity’s consciousness into a higher state of being. Individuals still trapped in states of consciousness that resonate in harmony with the Antichrist will experience great distress when the energies of the Solar Christ start to descend from heaven, because the higher frequencies of the Christ Consciousness will destroy all emanations not conceived in love. You see love is an immortal principle. All other emotional frequencies are relative and therefore perishable.”
“If love is the only principle that is immortal then what happens to the people who are not anchored in love when they die?” I asked anxiously.
“Their consciousness goes to the underworld,” God explained. “You have much to learn before you will be able to comprehend the different worlds of the spirit. You are going to be given the opportunity to meet the angels of the seven churches who govern the spiritual kingdoms. Jesus Christ oversees the angels of the seven churches, which is why this Scripture indicates that he holds the seven angels (stars) in his right hand. The angels will enlighten you as to the different planes of consciousness that the soul has access too. In time, you will understand the underworld.
“As the angels reveal their divine purpose to you, they will also teach you the meaning of the next few chapters of The Book of Revelation. Watch for insights and messages of inspiration coming from the spirit world as you proceed through your day. You have many guides watching over you who will be assisting with your transformation.”
“I’ll be sure and watch for spiritual messages,” I promised. “Thank you for your help.”
"You’re most welcome,” God replied. “I will visit with you again in the near future.”
Within minutes my consciousness had returned to the three dimensional world. I remained in a joyous mood throughout the remainder of the weekend. I was elated by the information that God had provided me with and was excited about meeting the seven angels. I received my first spiritual insight on Sunday evening, while I was watching Touched by an Angel. At the beginning of the show they always list the actors and actresses. I noticed that the real name of the actor who plays Andrew—the Angel of Death—is John Dye (Die). I laughed heartily when I saw this. Although the last name was spelt differently, I could clearly see the correlation between the actor’s last name and the part that the soul played in life.
That night, upon retiring, I prayed to God and told him how excited and honored I was to be given such a wondrous opportunity. It had been only a short while since I had asked the Father to reveal the truth about angels to me. Here I was about to come face to face with the seven angels who govern the spiritual kingdoms. Truly God did answer prayers and in a very grandiose way. I went to sleep thinking about my future encounters with the angels. What an adventure I’m embarking upon, I thought, as I drifted off to sleep.
