Old-Guru had asked me to write this article about incidents which I had reported to him. I also had sent him a video. In addition, Old-Guru had a full resume of John D, the main character in this article, enumerating his life and activities from the 1960’s until 1979.
After completing his initial U.S.army training, John served in many different countries. He served two terms in Vietnam totalling approximately 5 to 6 years. He was discharged with the rank of Colonel in the counter-intelligence department and, at one time, was an assistant to Mr. W Colby. After being discharged from the army, he returned home to continue his family truck dealership business and also had a partnership in export trading to the South-East Asian markets. John became a representative for a consortium of about 50 large companies in his home state.
After 1975, John returned to Vietnam on two occasions as a businessman. While there, he visited the tunnels of Cu Chi. On one trip he visited a friend who initiated him in 1999, when John was 61 years of age.
John is an American Protestant. In an email to me, he recounted that during the initiation ceremony, as he was sitting and repeating to himself, “in the name of God”, he saw, with his ‘third’ eye, an image of himself sitting cross-legged. This picture then faded to give way to a black diamond on a white background. About two to three minutes later the image gradually faded and disappeared. As he was questioning in his mind the meaning of this vision, he heard a voice that said, “You will understand… you will understand…”
Sometime later, about the year 2000, John came to meet me at the house of one of my disciples. There he witnessed about 10 disciples, one by one, going to the altar and performing various ways of bowing in front of the Buddha altar. It was explained to John that the bowing movements were not solely from each individual’s own control, but were guided by the Holy Spirit, and that each person felt an actual force controlling his or her movements.
When it was John’s turn to stand in front of the altar and pray, he experienced the Holy Spirit’s ‘force’ which guided him to come and kneel in front of and to the side of me.
At that moment, Sam, a disciple that was initiated by me around 1993, was prompted by the Holy Spirit to come forward. Sam saluted me solemnly as if in the army. Sam is Jewish, and practiced yoga meditation. Sam is also a vegetarian and an experienced lawyer who, over the years, traveled to several different countries in Asia. He stood erect and as straight as a pole. His chest was held out and his feet clacked together and tapped forcefully on the ground. After each salute, he took great care to straighten and arrange his clothes and reposition himself before repeating the salutation. This pantomime of saluting and repositioning was repeated about 10 times. When the salutes were over, Sam came toward John who was still kneeling and helped him up to face me, helped position him in a straight manner with his feet together, and guided him to bow his head.
Then John raised himself up from his bowing position and put his palms together in front of his face. He then lay his full body and face down on the ground in front of me (the Tibetan way of prostration). At that time everyone could see John’s back shaking as if he was sobbing.
The Holy spirit then moved another disciple to re-enact the scene of the soldier saluting his superior, even more strongly than did Sam. His right hand formed the mudra when he brought it to his head and his arm came down and slapped against his thigh with a loud noise. His feet stamped fiercely on the ground and he looked very imposing. He repeated this movement pattern about 20 times.
Suddenly the experience with the Holy Spirit’s force was over. Everyone started sharing their impressions about what they had observed and felt. John said that when he was praying in front of the altar to ask for the Yantra (a picture symbolizing God and the Holy Spirits used in ceremonial magic for initiation purpose) from Secret Buddhism, he heard a voice telling him: You are not ready’ and ‘You do not deserve this yet’. He was a little sad, but at the same time felt touched and appreciative that he had witnessed and experienced such a divine phenomenon. He confided that he had come here by airplane, and before coming to this place, had paid thousands of dollars to attend a spiritual conference in another city, but did not gain any spiritual experience there.
He revealed that He and Sam were strangers until they shook hands and realized that they were brothers within the fraternity of masons.
Sam also expressed his appreciation and felt that this whole experience was amazing, and something that he would remember for the rest of his life.

Comments from Old-guru: This is one of many tales of mysticism demonstrating the relationship between the various esoteric sects and faiths of the West since long ago, and the Secret Buddhism that Old-guru have propagated. This is a revelation from the Holy Spirits that mysticism comes from one and only system and therefore One Religion under heaven. Some people think that they are different because they have not fully researched it and also because they do not have divine Revelations.
