About Basil Bristow

This article, written by Basil Bristow, and introduced by the staff of The Monroe Institute’s “Focus Magazine”, appeared in March 2006

GATEWAY VOYAGE® graduate Basil Bristow was born in London, England. He immigrated to the United States in 1947 and became a U.S. citizen in 1952. He had served with the Second Armored Calvary Regiment during World War II. Basil and his late wife, Evie, were married for forty-two years. He received a degree from the Albany, New York, business college in 1954 and has held a wide range of positions during his working life, from being a shepherd boy at age ten to having his own gift shop. After retiring in 1987 and moving to Ocala, Florida, in 1990, Basil became active in a broad spectrum of community activities and currently volunteers with a compassionate care team. He is also a writer and has penned award-winning short stories, a newspaper article, a book of prayer, and seven novels. Basil’s last book, A Year with God, was produced through automatic writing.

Attending the GATEWAY VOYAGE in June 2002 not only had a major influence on my life, but it also changed my life. My main purpose was to learn to use both sides of my brain instead of primarily the masculine side that had served me so well for the past seventy-two years. TMI most certainly did that, and it also opened my mind to realms other than that of the planet Earth.

While in GATEWAY I discovered that I could converse with my father who had passed some thirty-seven years ago. My mother, dead since 1984, was also heard from. One of the things that dad told me was that my brother needed help. He, my brother, had been in the Royal Air Force and was killed while on a bombing raid over Germany back in 1941. During the next few months I did my first soul rescue work and he moved on.

In June 2003 I joined TMI facilitator, John Kortum, on a paranormal investigation of the Queen Mary, docked in Long Beach, California. During that visit a spirit who had died on board in 1947 spoke through me and—along with other TMI graduates—we were able to help him move on. That expanded my GATEWAY VOYAGE experience even further. It led me to LIFELINE™ in 2004, then back-to-back EXPLORATION 27® and STARLINES, concluding with the Afterlife Communications Workshop in 2005.

In early February 2004, while in meditation, I “heard” from “Emil”—a very old soul who lived on earth eons ago. Over a period of one and a half years he sent me 189 messages dealing with the love of Spirit (God) versus the love of self (humanity). The word versus was not meant in a negative way, it was used simply to emphasize the difference between the two types of love.

When Emil finished, along came “James.” James had been a monk in Tibet thousands of years ago and his job was to instruct me in the gentle art of enlightenment. In four months he sent me seventy-seven messages. Within two days of James closing down, I heard from “Philippa of the group.” Her job was to answer general questions relating to life and one’s soul. A month later I began to hear from “Frances of Arcturus” and her task was to help me to “explore many areas of creation so that love and peace will forever stem from your soul and heart.” Philippa and Frances took turns, and from March through November 2005 I received 101 messages from them. Now, since mid November 2006, I am hearing from “Bluestone.” His subject is the Universal Consciousness and as of mid-October I have received 198 messages from him on this item.

Similar to what Lisette Larkins describes in her book, Talking to Extraterrestrials , I do not hear the voices of these entities, I somehow know what to write. Most of these messages are received while I am in meditation, usually in the morning. I e-mail the messages to anyone who is interested: some are TMI graduates and some are not. But it was The Monroe Institute and GATEWAY that started all this, and I am most grateful. Thank you Bob Monroe!

I am presently hearing from “Salibad” and, as with all of those I channel, I will freely email his messages to anyone who asks for them.
