A commitment is made

Guided by coincidence

But it wasn't just the noise that kept me awake; a simple Silva technique could have handled that.

It was my thoughts of Linda and her family. Even her dog, Buddy, was living in the woods with them.

Within an hour or so I had made a full-blown commitment to God that I would help the homeless through the Silva Systems. In other words, I would teach them to fish, not just give them fish by providing temporary relief. I guess my early Baptist training was surfacing.

Guided by coincidence

Through a series of "coincidences" I ended up in a Silva course in Baltimore, Maryland. The class was being held a good five hours from my home in Virginia Beach. Jose Silva says that coincidences are God's way of helping us, and I cannot deny it.

I got to the class very late on the first day, about twenty minutes before the 5 p.m. break.

Victor Kovens, a dedicated Silva supporter and sponsor of the Silva Cruises, introduced me to the class and mentioned that I was a Silva instructor.

I guess that was all that Truxon Sykes needed to hear to complete his part of "his" plan.

On the break Truxon, whom I had never met, made a beeline for me out in the hall. He had his hand extended to shake mine...but as in "making a deal," not as in "introduction."

An alliance is formed

His first words were, "I've been thinking of doing some research on how fast the Silva System could mainstream the homeless back into society." What a coincidence!

As he spoke I noticed a big red button on his suit lapel that said, "Homeless, , Not Hopeless." I immediately extended my hand and said, "sold" just as out hands met, even before he finished his sentence.

We connected mentally. We were each fulfilling each other's plan - well, we thought the plan was "ours," but we both knew and discussed later how it was actually "God's" plan.

Truxon Sykes is the President of the Homeless Union in Baltimore. We spent several hours that night after class talking with each other.

Bigger than expected

When he told me that Baltimore, was the largest "homeless" population in the U.S., I knew then that I was to begin there. Besides, now I had someone to organize the class for me.

When he told me there were 32,000 homeless in Baltimore, I corrected him as I thought he meant to say 3,200. In fact, 320 for a city seemed like a lot to me. I even thought 32 sounded like a lot!

So, when he corrected me and explained that it was "thirty-two thousand," I knew then why God had guided me to Baltimore.

I figured if I could train just one percent, which would be 320, that might be the critical mass. So, by helping the first 320, all of the homeless would get it at some level, like the story of the Hundredth Monkey. I believe that it would also affect the homeless throughout the planet. I guess I'm a born optimist.

That same night we made plans for me to return the first week of December, to give an introductory lecture in the Pratt Library Auditorium to as many homeless as he could gather.
