From Randy Garver:
There was another trip to Canada that we were on where it was basically the sleeping trip. We were going through the Canadian Rockies. It was magnificent. I’d been through these areas quite a bit. I would come to from this deep sleep and the tour guide would say, “We’re about to pass the most beautiful places, I have to wake everybody up. I have to televise it.” I said, “Don’t do it. You just enjoy the trip. You don’t do anything.”
Apparently we were all re-working some kind of a karmic thing deep in the center of the earth, and that part of the earth needed a particular focus that our group could produce.
