What are your Unique Paths, and What are you Seeking?!?

29. Encountered a Rosicrucian in the late 70's...

...when I was hauling freight across the lower 48.

This particular morning at a loading dock in LA, Ca, I went into the adjoining coffee shop to hire a lumper to help unload. Those are usually pretty competitive environments with lot's of people trying to get the job.

Before the door had closed behind me, this 'old' black guy was by my side, giving me his pitch. I was a little hesitant because he had to have been the oldest Lumper for Hire, that I'd ever seen. But he persisted with charisma and a sly appeal and won me over.

I had to ask him politely, of course, at the same time complimenting his physique, how old he was...

I don't remember exactly anymore, but he was in his mid-70's.

So we worked away piling buddles of magazines on pallets and pulling them out of the trailer and onto the dock. Chit chatting as we worked, we got talking about the power of the mind, from the smallest incidents to the biggest, most radical presumptions. It took a while for all this to come out but we were soon talking about the power to heal.

Because we were in such agreement on so many things, he told me "...I'm not supposed to tell you this but I've been a Rosicrucian for decades...".

As I drove him towards his home, the job done and him 65 dollars richer, he said that he owed his vitality to being a Rosicrucian...and the fact that he needed the money, knew where to get it and had a nice conversation for free.

His life was full.
