An excerpt from "I Am God in Disguise, So Are You"
by Craig Kolavo
As I sat on the floor in my closet, unpacking boxes of dusty journals and notebooks I'd collected over the past 20+ years, the task at hand seemed overwhelming. How do I organize all of these life experiences into a coherent story? How do I put these events into a clear, chronological order for my kids to understand? You see, I had no plans to write a book. My original intention for writing was simple and somewhat selfish. I was hoping to explain to my children some of the discoveries I've made on this crazy adventure of life. Maybe all parents feel this way at some point. Why should my kids have to experience the same struggles, pain, and suffering I've been through? I know stuff! They can learn from my mistakes.
This painfully slow process turned out to be very transformational. Months turned into years. Finally, I stepped back and began to see the story unfolding before me. It was like I discovered a secret treasure map. Unfortunately, this map was given to me in puzzle form, and the pieces were revealed over decades. Funny how the Universe works.
When this puzzle was finally assembled, it was a real aha moment. On second thought, it was actually more of an oh-shit moment! Although I was excited to see on paper what I'd been feeling for many years, I instantly knew I was going to have to share my discovery with all. The thought of this was terrifying. My insecurities quickly came to the surface. My demons were saying, "Who the hell do you think you are? People will think you're crazy!" I'm grateful for my wife and the small group of friends who motivated me throughout this painstaking process.
As I studied this treasure map, a theme began to emerge. Through my decades of soul-searching, the same nagging questions kept bubbling to the surface. Why is there so much pain and suffering in this world? Why are so many of us living with illness, disease and addiction? Why all the fear, anxiety and hate? The entire planet seems to be on edge, and temperatures are rising.
By stepping back and taking a panoramic view of the situation, the answers began to reveal themselves. It became obvious to me that we continue to repeat the same mistakes. We are treating the symptoms of our dis-ease, which is the chaos we see in our world, rather than exploring for the root cause. Focusing on symptoms will only result in prescriptions for bigger bombs and more Prozac.
Instead, why don't we ask the difficult questions, like "Why is everyone so pissed off?" Contrary to what many believe, this worldwide crisis did not start on September 11, 2001, nor did it begin on November 8th, 2016. We have been sleepwalking for generations. We've been stuck in a depressive state of apathy, allowing a loud minority to rule the often-silent majority. The struggles we see in the outer world are a direct reflection of the battle being played out in our inner world. We have been consumed by the external stimuli, completely identified with our small selves.
In other words, we have been disconnected from our True Nature. This is the "root cause" I'm referring to. Most of life's pain, suffering, and struggles can be traced back to this disconnection. Although I believe that forgetting our Divine Nature is a necessary stage in our spiritual evolution, so is remembering! When we learn how to end this inner battle, peace will soon follow in the outer world.
One of the many things I've exposed on this journey is that we all share the same collective purpose, which is to Discover, Surrender, and Inspire. We must first Discover the Divine within, this dormant power embedded in all of humanity. This is our Sleeping Giant patiently waiting to be discovered. Every experience we have during the School of Life is designed to lead us to this discovery. We must then Surrender to this power. Divinity is your birthright. Yes, you were born into royalty. It is time to awaken! Finally, we must Inspire others on this path.
After discovering this "secret treasure map" my writing project soon transformed into the book, I Am God in Disguise, So are You. My goal was now to demystify the spiritual path and inspire others to join me on this adventure. I resist having this message lumped into the "New Age" movement. This is actually an age-old message. This is the same message Jesus was teaching over 2000 years ago. I'm not a religious guy, but I was thrilled to find these bible quotes; The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own authority. It's the Father in me doing this work. Whoever believes in me will do the work I am doing (John 14:10). This next one is even more direct; Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you (Corinthians 3:16). Richard Rohr, a bestselling author who has also been a Catholic priest for the past 50 years says, "humanity was not ready for this message 2000 years ago, but maybe the time is now."
Despite these turbulent times, I am still an optimist. I feel we are entering a stage of positive change and increased awareness. This era will prove to be a blessing in disguise, propelling us towards this change. Unfortunately, it's often darkest before the dawn. During these times of collective pain, humanity always rises to the occasion. Look at natural disasters as an example. Living on the Gulf Coast for 30+ years, I have experienced the devastation of many hurricanes. People always rise up and take care of their neighbors. This is baked into our DNA. When the rescue boat pulls up to your door, they don't ask who you voted for! Unfortunately, it often takes these highly emotional states to bring people together. I feel the turbulence we see in today's world is one of these storms.
A spiritual revolution is long overdue. A simple shift in awareness is all that is needed. No shots will be fired. No blood will be shed. The beauty of discovering our Divine Nature is that we also see this Divinity in all beings. No longer will you see your fellow humans defined by their skin color, nationality, or sexual preference. When these superficial labels and layers are peeled away, we discover our ONENESS.
Maybe it would be helpful if I explain how I define God. To me, God is a Life Force, a vibrating energy that animates every cell in my body. This same Life Force also flows through all of creation. This is what connects us all! When Einstein discussed this subject, he said "This is physics, not philosophy!" Knowing this, how could we ever hate our neighbor?
Although this spiritual revolution is not about religion or politics, you will soon discover this awakening will affect all facets of your life. We develop an X-ray vision. Our bullshit detectors become very sensitive. Whether the message is coming from the pulpit or the podium, we will demand more from our leaders. Upon awakening, it becomes impossible to support any candidate who promotes fear, hate, and separation. A Sleeping Giant lies dormant within all of us. It's time for a wake-up call! This is your birthright. You were born into royalty. Reclaim your power and join the revolution.

- Double Vision: Spirit with a Foot Fetish?Continue reading →
Â
When I'm sleeping in my apartment, I sometimes feel something touching my feet. Then two weeks ago, I felt something next to my bed lean over me and give me a kiss on my cheek. This also happened at my sister's house, so it doesn't seem to be centered in my apartment. I think it's a man, because he got on top of me. I don't see faces or anything, I just feel these things, and I also tell him to go away. What do you make of this? Can spirits and humans interact in romantic or sexual ways? What should I do? My birth date is March 28, 1944.

Dreamchaser:
It is not normal for "ghosts" or "spirits" to have sexual interaction with humans. I have heard of spirits lovingly kissing a forehead or cheek, and I have heard of them tucking people in or tenderly stroking a hand, arm, leg or foot. However, when we get into the realm of sexual activity, we are speaking of another sort of being altogether.
Have you ever heard the terms incubus and succubus? An incubus appears to be a male being that visits human females, and a succubus is a female being that visits male humans. They are negative entities whose aim is to have sexual intercourse with humans.
Stories of these beings go all the way back to the beginning of human history. There are writings from early centuries by priests and nuns that describe encounters with these creatures. Some say they are imaginary; some say they are a result of some paranoid delusion; others say they are real. There are various viewpoints on whether these beings exist and walk among us.
Others might say you are being abducted by aliens. I know this is something you would consider far-fetched, but there have been many stories of "abductees" who tell of sexual intercourse with alien beings.
Whatever you believe and whatever type of being you believe this is, it is still very negative and should not be around you. I strongly advise you to follow the instructions I am about to give you to clear out your space and free yourself from whatever is following you.
I want you to get a sage bundle and light the end and get it flaming. Blow out the flame, but make sure that the end is still in embers and glowing. Walk around every room of your house, including the closets, shower stalls, etc. Let the sage smoke filter into every corner. Literally walk the perimeter of each room so that each wall and corner gets hit with the smoke.
When your whole house has been saged, it's time to go to work on you. Get in your most comfortable place, be it your bed, a favorite chair or wherever you feel most comfortable. Once you get settled in, take 10 very deep cleansing breaths. Breathe in for four counts, hold it for four counts, and exhale for four counts. Focus on your breathing and feel yourself come back into balance. Then I want you to repeat the following prayer:
"God, please expel and protect me from any being that is not of love and light. Thank you." Then you will be free from this experience.
I wish you peace-full sleep.

Astrea:
There are hundreds of stories about men and women interacting sexually with discarnate entities.
Most of these stories involve a succubus, which is female, but there are many that refer to an incubus, which is male. In those tales, they come to the person to drain their sexual energy. I'm very glad that this is NOT what is happening with you!
The creature "haunting" YOU is a big, fluffy, grey tabby cat! I see him CLEARLY around you. He rubs against your legs when you're awake too, even though you're not aware of it.
He tells me that his name is Yuri, and he loves you SO MUCH. I suppose he could have been your pet in this lifetime, but I believe that he was a pet in a former incarnation. This was somewhere in Russia between 1830 and 1875.
Everywhere you went, Yuri was with you. He came to live with you when you were about ten years old and stayed until he died, which was around the time you married. He has been waiting for you in heaven ever since.
About a year ago, he just couldn't stand being away from you anymore, so he got special permission to come to Earth to be near you in this incarnation. You were EVERYTHING to him and you rescued him from a very horrible death by drowning. He remembers all of this, and now he's trying to keep you company in THIS Incarnation. You're very lucky to have such a devoted friend.
You were inseparable in that past incarnation, but he wasn't able to come into a body in this one to be physically present with you. He tried many times, but was never able to enter as the soul of a new kitten. Partly that was because he never felt there was a new kitten being born here that was "GOOD ENOUGH" for him to be.
You see, in that former life he was very fat, very spoiled, and VERY smart, and none of the kittens around you in this life have appealed to him in the least. He does rub around on your feet at night, and he does give you little kitten kisses, and he ABSOLUTELY gets on top of you! In life, he weighed about 25 pounds; he was a VERY large and lovely cat.
He's been leaving you little tufts of fur, so if you look around for that, you'll find it in the most unexpected places. I hope that he's not BOTHERING you, for that would upset him no end!
As soon as you acknowledge him, he'll let you sleep better at night. Just say, "Dobro Gata" (Sweet Kitty), and he'll lie down beside you and go to sleep.
How wonderful to have the love of a pet span almost 200 years!
