18 to 40: Glass Walking, Fire Eating and Hot Coals Oh My!

Glass walking, fire eating and walking on hot coals mark a stage for me in my early 20’s.

I was living in San Diego, CA at the time and I think I was looking for some kind of connection to spiritually. I tried out a few churches but for the most part this was a time of rebellion against much of the Lutheran “religion” that I had grown up with.

I was definitely searching for some “personal power” and attended a few weekend seminars with hypnotist Marshall Sylver. It was here that I…

Swallowed fire:

…and walked on glass:

I also attended one of Anthony Robbins events where I walked across hot coals.

All of this was pretty amazing and I do think it opened my eyes to new possibilities and ways of thinking.

In later years as I became clearer about my faith, I realized that much of what I had been searching for back then I found in my relationship with God.

Ah…the things we do!
