    About this ebook

    What’s a tourist? It’s someone who travels from place to place, taking in the sights and sounds of one place before traveling to the next. Most of us on this planet have never been tourists in that sense of the word because it takes money and time that few can spare.

    So why do I claim we are all tourists? Because I’ve learned that we are all spirits, powerful and eternal, whose existence spans several physical and non-physical realities. Instead of believing we are limited human creatures whose existence is tied to this one physical planet, I’ve come to understand that we are here sampling one of many experiences, and that our earth lives are but one. The concept, once embraced, is liberating, with significant positive repercussions over the next fifty years, depending on whether or not we “get it.” Life will be better if we do, but if we don’t, it’s only a small setback in the big picture; we can still look forward to a long-term positive existence for ourselves and our loved ones, regardless of what happens here in our Human Time-Space Illusion.

    Author

    Dan McAneny

    Apart from his family, Dan McAneny has three main interests. One is working with people on disability who want to start a business or get a job. He’s been doing that for over 30 years, creating business plans and guiding job searches. He has written two books in that field. Another interest of Dan's for the past 45 years has been researching and studying our experience as spirits without physical bodies before birth and after "death," and its many positive implications for those currently living. His primary credential for writing on that subject is that he is very much the average person, not a scholar and not specially gifted in any way. All anyone has to do is look at the very simple and obvious evidence that "dead people" have been communicating beneficial information to those living in western civilizations for well over a century. He has written six books on this topic, and he published a revised, shorter version of his first book in 2015 with a new title, "You are Bigger Than All Your Deaths." His recent books list Dan McAneny as the author, while the earlier books list Daniel Thomas McAneny as author. His books include: The 2075 Movement; We Are All Tourists; The Only 5 Things You Need to Know; Christ Was Not Crucified, Thank God; and, It's SPIRIT, Stupid, NOT Matter. His third major interest is in medical developments that might help people get off disability. This last topic, plus his own experience as a 5x cancer survivor, stimulated his interest in how his friend Harry Watson, a World War II fighter pilot, recovered from cancer twice in his 80s while taking nanosilver, and resulted in his book titled "The Silver Water Coincidences." Dan and his wife have lived in New Jersey, Virginia and North Carolina. They currently live in the Sarasota FL area and have five children living in various parts of the U.S., with 11 grandchildren.

      About the Author

      As One Traveler

      I was drivin’ on a highway I knew pretty well

      When I came upon a roadside stand I hadn’t noticed before.

      I stopped to take a look around

      And meet the fella who ran the place.

      I could see a kindly look in his eye

      A peaceful look, sure, but somethin’ more.

      I searched for the few things I wanted

      And took ‘em off the shelf

      I turned and then he spoke to me.

      You could see he was sure of himself.

      I speak to you from the other side, he said,

      "And I speak, and live, and work with pride,

      Though by your count I’m long since dead.

      "Listen careful now to what I say

      ‘Cause it could change your life in a very big way.

      You’re a traveler, it’s easy to see.

      I’d like you to think that way of me.

      In fact, as you look at any man, woman or child,

      Try to think of them, though the idea seems wild,

      As a part of God, a soul, if you like,

      That has broken away and is on a long hike.

      You’ll be surprised at the beauty you’ll find.

      You can pay your respects most any way that suits you.

      A smile, a word, a song, one comes to mind —

      It begins — Traveler, I salute you.

      Chorus

      As one traveler to another, I salute you.

      We are all travelers, whatever our position,

      So as one traveler to another, I salute you.

      We were meant to keep on changin’

      Seekin’ new and better ways

      Different kinds of days

      Than we know

      So

      As one traveler to another, I salute you.

      Life and death are but two faces

      Of our eternal, ever-changing existence.

      You and I have lived before

      And will again

      And our new life is growing in the old

      As behold,

      The seed is already in the flower.

      We are all travelers, whatever our position,

      So as one traveler to another, I salute you.

      From the Author to the Reader

      It isn’t easy for most of us to think of ourselves as anything more than the person we seem to be – the person who goes out into the world each day and does whatever we have to do to survive, thrive, and if possible enjoy that day to the greatest extent possible. It is especially difficult to think of ourselves as something more in today’s world, where we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s known about the universe. We seem so small compared to this vast universe that seems to exist outside and apart from us.

      But it’s necessary for us to start thinking of ourselves in new and different ways, and realize that we are much more than we think we are. Whether we’re successful or not is a question, and the stakes are high. On the one hand we might soon enjoy a kind of existence that is thrilling, totally enjoyable, and full of almost unimaginable happiness. On the other, if we can’t come to realize our own power to create, we could be in for some pretty difficult times over the next 50 years.

      We can start on the road to the good times by understanding that we are all tourists, and that the life or lives we lead here are just one small part of who we are. The hope is that this book will help accelerate that awareness.

      Chapter 1 - How Shall I Say this?

      I don’t know how to break it to you, so I’ll just come right out and tell you. You are not who you think you are. You think you are Mary Davis or John Jones or whatever name you go by. You think you exist inside your body here in the 21st century, with a certain sex designation, of a certain height, weight and skin color, either brilliant or of average intelligence or less, with your particular personality that addresses the world we’re all inhabiting.

      Sorry. That’s not you. That’s just a part of you. Just as your big toe is part of you, but you wouldn’t say, I am my big toe. You realize you are more than your big toe. Likewise, it’s time you started to realize that you are more than just a mind in a body. What you think of as you is really that part of you that is choosing to experience earth life. The real you is a spirit, one that takes on many forms in many different realities, or no form in a non-physical reality, as you go about the business of co-creating those realities and experiencing what it is like to live within them. You do that because it is your nature to continually create, explore, experience and learn as part of your growth in awareness and capabilities. As a spirit you have certain values, and any experience you create for yourself is intended to help you fulfill those values.

      To experience the earth reality, you need to blank out your awareness of your total existence as a spirit active in many realities, and agree to the rules of the game that are the root assumptions of any reality. The rules when you go into the earth existence by entering a physical body include … there is time … there is space … I am separate from you … there is good and evil … and cause and effect is the operating mechanism, so that for example, if I push a lamp across a table, I am causing it to move.

      To function within this reality, you need to take a portion of your total consciousness, not separate from you but a part of you with a special assignment, and have it adopt a very tight, up-close focus on the reality around you. If that portion were aware of all the different realities of which it is a part, it couldn’t function well in this reality, where objects look and feel very real to us, especially when we bump into them, and where we can’t walk through walls with our physical bodies. That portion of you with this special assignment is what we commonly refer to as our ego consciousness, and that is what many of us think we are, nothing more.

      And that is just fine for purposes of navigating in this physical world where we experience time and space and the cause/effect relationship as real. The problem arises when we forget we are non-material spirits temporarily taking on material form, and start to believe that this portion of us is the sum total of who we are, locked in our bodies until we die, after which who knows what we become or whether we experience anything at all. That is a bit depressing to many of us.

      If we had the bigger picture of our existence in proper perspective, we might logically call this part of ourselves focus personalities, that is, personalities that we take on when coming into earth experience so that we can play the game according to the rules. Those personalities have to focus in very tightly, as mentioned, so that we can perceive all the objects and events around us as real, solid and something we can interact with. They are an illusion, yes, but our earth
