Robert “Bodhi” Bigelow

At the age of eleven, the veil of humanity lifted like a near-death experience (NDA). Divine presence revealed itself to me for the first time as a radiant being of white light emanating unconditional love.

But months later, falling like a shadow, the veil returned, dimming my direct connection to the light. Agonizing pain spiraled me into a haze of alcohol, heavy drugs and the fractured lies of duality through high school.

Breaking free from the bonds of drugs catapulted me into the life of an adventure junkie until yearning consumed me. In spite of my disbelief, magically it happened, the veil was lifted again in 1978. My humanity fled, leaving only Divine presence with an invitation, “If you ask with all your heart, I will reveal myself to you.”

This invitation proven true ten more times since then, my encounters expanded into revealing; the human psyche, the human spirit, the holographic nature of the physical realm and crossing the chasm of death.

 The message given me is for everyone and is:

An Invitation to Reveal the Divine

Robert “Bodhi” Bigelow

Divine presence is the message.
Please don’t confuse the message with the messenger.

My quest for Divine Presence and the search for others with simular experiences:

  • Alter boy and training for priesthood (short lived);
  • Transcendental Meditation and multiple other forms;
  • in-depth biblical practices and searching scriptures in both Greek and Hebrew for spirit behind original meanings;
  • studied all the major western religions doctrines;
  • in-depth studies of the original spiritual experiences of individuals who started a religious movement (ie: Jesus, Abraham, Siddhartha Gautama (Buddhism), Mohammad (Muslim), Yogananda (Self-Realization Fellowship), Joseph Smith (Mormon) and many more);
  • The study of any continued spiritual experiences of others within those religions;
  • in-depth studies in eastern philosophies;
  • in-depth studies of Near Death Experiences (NDE);
  • researched metaphysical realm along with practicing various techniques;
  • wrote a couple of books along the way to document my experiences.

* Character Arc: the internal mental and emotional transformation a character undergoes from the beginning of a story to the end. Each of my adventures contained it’s own character arc.
