Spiritual Insights and Global Changes

Lynchburg, Virginia Conference, 70 pages

Toms shares personal anecdotes, such as being offended by a publicly given title (walk-in) and dealing with psychic aggravation following a spiritual experience. A major theme is impending global changes—spiritual, physical, and environmental—especially concerning chemical pollution and the fate of Mother Earth, which he believes was at a crisis point that will be resolved by non-human spiritual entities. The discussion also touches on near-death experiences, the nature of love, and individual responsibility in a period of intense spiritual energy and accelerating time.

Proof of God and the Ultimate Degradation

15 Pages

Tom fuses advanced science and spirituality, exploring the potential for a future facility to mathematically and scientifically prove the existence of God and develop “Star Wars” level wave function or laser deterrents that would render nuclear weapons obsolete. The text emphasizes the limits of the human condition, noting that achieving true unconditional love would cause immediate spontaneous combustion of the physical body. Finally, the material defines suicide as the ultimate degradation, resulting in the denial of existence in the timeless spiritual realm, which is described as “the hell”.

The Spouses of Near-Death Experiencers

Visions of Tomorrow International Conference, 24 pages

Tom Sawyer’s 1988 presentation detailed the tumultuous aftermath of his 1976 core Near-Death Experience (NDE), which drastically changed him and strained his marriage to Elaine. The NDE introduced chaos, transforming Tom into a man who communicated complex formulas and placed them among the 99.99 percent of NDE couples who separate or divorce. Elaine, who coped partly by having read Raymond Moody’s book Life After Life, faced the difficulty of her husband knowing precognitions, such as the severe, necessary injury of their son. They attributed their ability to remain married, defying the statistics, to compromise and healing laughter.

Vortex, Life Review, and the Essence of God

Geneseo, New York, 63 Pages

Tom Sawyer’s 1976 Near-Death Experience (NDE), caused by a crushed chest, instantly transformed the agnostic rock-and-roll fan, enabling him to understand classical composers’ signatures. The NDE involved moving through a vortex at or above the speed of light, culminating in a confrontation with the essence of God via superluminal telepathic communication. During his life review, he simultaneously became every person he had ever affected, including feeling the broken bones of a man he assaulted. Sawyer revealed that achieving full unconditional love is a biological impossibility in the physical body, which would spontaneously combust, though the collective effort of directing this love successfully averted a Middle East bombing.

Letter to Dan from Sidney

In this letter to Dan, Sidney shares some things that she discussed with Tom.

 

July 18th, 1989
Attempts at Prophecy, “In Line”

Discourse with Elaine Sawyer, 11 Pages

Tom Sawyer, struggling to articulate his profound, non-book knowledge, fears his inability to use correct terminology makes his descriptions sound like “hocus-pocus bullshit” or makes him appear like a “Trekky”. He is confused about details, such as whether a phenomenon travels “17,000 or 70,000 times the speed of light”, and worries about talking about light segments and disks that will “assist a change in attitude of the earth”. A message written to him warned that his devotion to his “epistemology” (theory of knowledge) is too “abstruse” and that he must subdue his emotions for future work. He also stressed the need to warn other near-death experiencers against unintentionally “showing off” their new knowledge or psychic functions.

Tom Talks with a Group of Children

15 Pages

After being crushed by a truck, Tom Sawyer had an NDE, traveling toward a brilliant Light where God communicated via telepathic communication. He relived his 33 years in a life review in seconds, experiencing every emotion of his actions, including when he was “naughty”. God offered him the choice to stay in absolute perfection in Heaven or return to his wife and sons. Although he chose to stay in Heaven, he woke up as the truck was being lifted. The experience eliminated his fear of death and changed his priorities to sharing his story and loving violin music. He concluded by affirming that God is real and loving and strongly warned the children that suicide is a terrible tragedy that hurts God.

Bleams of Light: The Paradox of Love

Tom Talks to a Group at Sidney’s House, 12 Pages

Tom Sawyer explained that the soul is composed of “bleams of light” (spiritual light), which is equivalent to unconditional love and therefore cannot be divided or destroyed. He addressed the core paradox that God is perfect and cannot be enhanced, yet humans need the measurement of “less than God”—gained from malicious acts like lust and greed—to appreciate and merge with God’s light during the transitional death state. Sawyer personally confirmed this concept during his father’s passing, where he experienced a beautiful, warm feeling instead of grief, leading him to role play seriousness for his family. He ultimately contrasted the non-judgmental nature of the universe with human psychology, noting that people play “head games” and use the “three C’s” (criticize, condemn, and complain) to create a false sense of superiority.

The Temporality of Normality

Another Talk at Sidney’s House, 17 Pages

Tom Sawyer detailed his accurate premonition of the 1985 Dallas-Fort Worth plane crash, yet expressed concern that public comments suggesting one death was a “spiritual mistake” might upset the man’s grieving family. He contrasted our temporary life (“normality“) with the spiritual realm, or Light, which communicates via instantaneous superluminal telepathic communication and is therefore “more real”. Sawyer demonstrated his unusual methods by painting the mathematical formula for matter waves and the statement “matter waves are bad” on a junk delivery van and towing it past University of Rochester scientists to “blow their minds”. Finally, he noted physical consequences of his psychic abilities, including unexplained fevers over 107 degrees and clairvoyantly acquiring black and blue marks when his sister was injured in a truck accident.

Attitude Over Diet: A Positive Change

A Personal Topic Not Intended for the Book, 10 Pages
Shared for everyone on a weight-loss journey.

Tom Sawyer advised Sidney, who had an eating disorder linked to habitual patterns and chemical dependency, to forget all traditional diets, arguing they focus on denial and are negative. Instead, he stressed the need for an attitudinal change centered on positive affirmation, such as defining and stating “This is what I want” when choosing foods. Sawyer identified that Sidney’s patterns are triggered by loneliness, nervousness, or anxiety and that she uses 55 cans of food as a security blanket. He cautioned against using negative language like “I can’t, I don’t, I shouldn’t“. To combat hunger outside of mealtimes, he suggested immediate, positive distractions, like sharpening pencils or washing a window, to interrupt the cycle. Finally, Sawyer called the cultural belief that punishment erases bad deeds a lie, emphasizing that love and forgiveness are essential, and concluded that there is no single solution, but their conversation marked a significant turning point.

The Curlicues of a Meaningless Illusion

Recorded at Sidney’s House, 6 Pages

Tom Sawyer covered several miscellaneous topics, including his anti-characteristic enjoyment of Floyd Cramer’s music, asserting that people are lovers at heart but often mask this truth. He detailed a subtle, persistent thought about the number “727” that acted as a premonition linked to a later incident involving a lunatic who claimed to put a bomb on a 727 aircraft. Philosophically, Sawyer drew from the movie Kung Fu, favoring humbleness and the minimum requirement to solve problems, warning that excessive heroism leads to egotistical behavior. He concluded by explaining that the universe operates via entropy, where nothing is lost and everything recycles in circles within circles. Describing the spatial universe as a fluid (hydraulics), he noted that moving matter creates chaotic, patterned curlicues, leading to the conclusion that this reality is all meaningless and an illusion.

Rev. Dan Chesbro on Tom

Sidney Gets Dan’s Perspective of Tom, 11 Pages

Rev. Dan first met Tom in February 1984 for an interview on his show The Open Door, after Tom had returned from a near-death experience (NDE). During the interview, Dan noted that every time Tom referred to the White Light, he would begin to weep with joy, necessitating pauses in filming. Dan believes Tom is a “Christed being, a fully enlightened soul,” a Master whose spiritual identity is a “twin energy of Jesus the Christ,” returned to Earth to promote world peace. Sawyer’s teachings, which Dan states have 100% accuracy in precognitive materials, cover vast subjects including quantum physics, the Essenes, and the cosmic principles of Alpha and Omega (the beginning and end of time).

 

Interview with Tom Sawyer

Long Interview by Sidney for Book Material, 170 Pages

Tom Sawyer, a self-proclaimed agnostic and construction worker with a history of physical and verbal abuse in his marriage to Elaine, experienced a near-death event in May 1978 when his pickup truck crushed his chest, stopping his heart. During his clinical death, he traveled rapidly through a dark tunnel towards an infinitely bright source of unconditional love and total knowledge, where he underwent a comprehensive life review. He simultaneously relived painful events, such as physically assaulting a man, from both his own perspective and the pain experienced by his victims, including his Aunt Gay and the beaten man. Upon his return, Tom was profoundly changed, gaining knowledge of quantum physics and prioritizing a mission to help humanity break through imagery (illusions).
