Happily Flying Off To Miami... Returning To The U.S.A. Again... After Some Twenty-Nine Years... Laura's Stroke Of Good Luck... Suddenly Turns To Shocking Bad Luck... As She Dreamily Reminisces... About Meeting Jacques Parent... And How SUBUD... Had Divinely... "Dropped" ... Into Her Lap...!

Laura had been most fortunate... in Bridgetown... with kind-hearted Rosie... and the generous tourists... and islanders... and sweet... shy Billy... helping her so much...

A good thing... for it cost her all of $600... for her official papers... and Entry Visa... on Monday morning...!

And as soon as she was armed... with her precious documents... on Tuesday morning... she immediately cabled Dr. Ruth White... to let her know... that she would be arriving in Miami... on Wednesday... and to please let Mark know... that she was coming to join him...

During the flight... feeling full of happy... eager anticipation... of a brand new beginning... with Mark... whom she had seen... so magnificently Transformed... when he had come out of the bathroom... after Latihan... in that hotel room... in Bridgetown... a few months ago... she had high hopes... for their marriage... even toying with the idea... of renewing their marriage vows... with the Members of SUBUD Miami... as their witnesses...

And she recalled... how uniquely their souls had connected... even before meeting each other...!

This happened while she was on the phone... repeating the names read out to her... by an American Embassy staff member... of Pretoria... who periodically requested the Ambassador Hotel... where she was employed as its Assistant Manager... to put up a contingent of men... who were being transferred to South Africa... to track the satellites in the sky...

And when she came to the ninth name... of eleven... and repeated the name of "Jacques Parent"... she experienced a kind of strange Fluttering Sensation... Flitting... across the inside of her chest...!

This immediately made her recall... that Magical Night... when... newly divorced... and recently moved into a lovely... spacious flat... with her adorable... black and white... cocker spaniel Whiskie... the mysterious little book catalogue... titled... "The Mystic Book Shop of London"... had suddenly Materialized... on her coffee table...!

Miraculously Appeared... right in front of her... and her one-time Greek platonic lover... and protector... Dimitri... who... at the Command... of an Angel of God... Telling Him... That He Was To Immediately Go... To His Beloved Nadia... Who Was Now Free... had obeyed the Angel... and immediately tele-transported himself to her... all the way from Salisbury... to Bulawayo... walking right through her living room wall... that incredibly Blessed Night...!

And what transpired... soon after they brought each other up to date... over the past three years... on that Miraculous Night... was to change her life... forever...!

During her poignantly sad... never consummated marriage... of three years... to gentle giant Brian... born with a heart of gold... who had faithfully attended to her... a perfect stranger... in hospital... while she lay in a coma for seven months... living in Bulawayo... she had had no contact... whatsoever... with her Beloved Dimitri...

Throughout those wonder years... in Salisbury... when she had been her Beloved Heavenly Father's joyful Channel... for Divine Healing... attending to hundreds of afflicted souls... even the terminally ill... in hospital... perplexing and dumb-founding many doctors... Dimitri... the most amazing... magnificent giant of a man... she had ever met... with flaming red hair... and eyes that kept strangely changing color... had been her champion... and protector... and introduced her to a fascinating world of astral travel... levitation... and tele-transportation... the latter being his favorite form... of instantly moving... from place to place...!

And as she was about to pick up the little Materialized Booklet... with both of the joyfully reunited... kindred-in-spirit souls... thoroughly mystified... Its Pages Had Fallen Open... To One... That Advertised Books For Sale...!

Right away... her eyes were drawn down... to the middle of the left page... where only one book... was advertised in bold print...

And when she read the title... "Concerning SUBUD" ... by John Bennett... out loud... a sudden feeling of awed reverence... had filled her entire being...!

And as she slowly said the Holy Word of SUBUD... in a hushed tone of voice... pronouncing the Word correctly... as SOOBOOD... she felt a strange kind of Fluttering Sensation... Flitting across the inside... of her chest...!

And when Dimitri... noticing how Radiantly Transformed... his cherished one's face... had suddenly become... also said the Holy Word... out loud... with a feeling of awed reverence... he Experienced an Explosion... inside his chest...!

And with his face... also becoming Radiant... they gazed at each other... just as Whiskie... who had been contentedly lying... with his head in Dimitri's lap... suddenly sat up... and whimpered softly... as the exquisite Fragrance of Roses... Filled the atmosphere... all around them... which had become Holy... and Still...!

And looking at each other... with wide-eyed wonder... they knew... that an Angel of God... Was Present with them... Witnessing and Blessing the Miraculous... Holy Event...!

And in that instant... the two God loving souls... both knew... greatly rejoicing... that all their years... of their fervently searching... for a True Path... That Would Lead them... straight back to God... their Beloved Creator... had come to a glorious end...!

(The full story... of this humble to God soul's fascinating association with Dimitri... during her healing years... in Salisbury... Southern Rhodesia... and how she finally found the Miracle of SUBUD... after a long period... of suffering an empty... aching void... inside her... and even needing to be hospitalized... back in Johannesburg... South Africa... first... is featured... as titled in the Index listing... of Chapter headings...)

All went well... until a few miles from Miami... when the airplane... suddenly developed some engine trouble... and they had to reroute it... all the way back to Barbados... for repairs...!

So that Mark's Dream Girl Laura... did not arrive in Miami... until the following Wednesday... a full week later... the airline having assured her... that all passengers... who had people... expecting their arrival... at the Miami airport... would be immediately informed... of the unforeseen delay... and she had given them Ruth's phone number...
