I was a bit shocked and shared this immediately with Dann.

 

The next thing I shared with Dann was the next message that Sai Baba had given me just 15 minutes prior:

 

Dann would be my right-hand man in all that I do in my ardent quest to serve God and humanity.

 

This, as I knew it would, has truly been the case thus far.

 

Dann is in complete step with me, and I with him,  on a variety of spiritual projects that we work on together.

 

Dann, is already a great leader, in my opinion.

 

I am convinced he will join me in becoming a national leader, helping people inwardly adjust to a deepening of their own spiritual awareness; and helping our American society reconfigure itself to support this new, deeper spiritual awareness.

Dann is a tennis professional, doubles player, with wins over top Americans like John Isner.

 

He is currently inactive, but will probably return to the ATP pro tour at a later date.

 

Currently Dann (CPA) is the controller (head of accounting) at a hospital in Roosevelt, Utah.

 

He is also the CEO and President of our Natural Tennis Company (tennis racket company).

 

Dann also is the President and CEO of a financial consulting and income tax preparation company.

 

Dann lives with his wife and 5 children in Roosevelt, Utah.

Dann is a powerhouse spiritual being that God directly brought to me about three and a half years prior to the January 1, 1999 experience described above.

 

Please allow me to share a story.......

 

As I have stated on my Bio page, I began having profound spiritual experiences at the age of 30.

 

By the age of 33, I had noticed certain patterns developing.

 

One of them was that when an experience would take place, I would get an intuitive feeling that some special event would follow shortly after.  And often it did.

 

This was the case on a Thursday (I think) afternoon, as I laid on our living room couch in Redondo Beach, California.  

 

The normal floating sensation began.  The mind became still, and joy saturated my being.

 

Just then, my wife walked in from the kitchen.

 

I spontaneously said to her that something very special was going to happen this coming weekend.

 

And it did.

 

That Weekend, I was in the midst of playing a tennis match at a local "Open" money tournament, when, once again, the same floating sensation, still mind and joyous saturation of my entire being, came over me.

 

I knew instantly that there was deep meaning to it.

 

As I finished the match, still in this unusual state, I walked over to a seating area in front of where Dann was playing his match.

 

Dann's father was in the stands.

 

I did not know Dann very well at the time, he was only a very nice tennis acquaintance.

 

I had never met his father before. 

 

(His name is Sam Battistone.  Sam was big into American business and sports.  He once ran the second biggest restaurant franchise chain in America {Sambo's}.  In sports, he had been the sole owner of the NBA basketball team, the Utah Jazz.)

 

I sat next to Sam, asked him if he was Dann's father, and started spontaneously talking about how Dann would one day become a famous tennis player and be a great role model.

 

Then, out of my mouth, came something even more surprising,

 

"Sam, I want your son to move in with me.  I am a coach.  I will train your son to become a great tennis player and a great role model."

 

Sam replied, "Great, I've been looking for someone like you.  But, you will have to ask Dann about this."

 

After the match, I approached Dann, gazing into his eyes with a love that felt as deep as the ocean and said, "Hi, Dann, I want to be your coach.  I want you to come live with me and train full time."

 

Dann gazed into my eyes for a few silent moments then replied, "Okay.  Yes.  I would like to do that."

 

Two weeks later, just before my 34th birthday, Dann moved in with myself, my wife and my son......the beginning of a spiritual journey that has been nothing short of fantastic.

 

(I had been receiving an insistent intuitive message since the beginning of my spiritual experiences that an important, life changing spiritual event would happen at age 33.  This was that event.)

 

This experience with Dann occurred about 18 years ago.  

 

Since that time, a wide variety of things have happened, including many miracles, that lead me to believe that Dann and I and a group of others will be spearheading a large Grassroots Movement that will help change the lives of many, and help change the very structure of our American Society.

Dann, along with his brother Brian, will be leading our...
