I was directed to return to the drawing table and produce a Marty guide that was not just for my family only, but a guide that I could hand out to others that can help them on their Journey. I decided to update my Lost Soul guide and change the name to “Spiritual ABC.” (Alignment, Balance, Creation). A Level 6 healer is titled “Teacher,” and the spirit world was pushing me to seek being a teacher. I like Level 5 since it is the “Free Zone!” Level 6 sounds like I am back to a large amount of work. August 2014 I completed the Spiritual ABC guide and I am very proud of how it came out. Once again I am totally amazed that this awesome wisdom stuff came out of me. Even though I was presently crushed in my Shaman world, I still continued to play my drum. I love my drum! I think I mentioned that already but here it comes again. I love my drum!

At the rock gym I work with the Ruiz sisters, Stephanie and Cat. I told them in 2016 that I had this conversation with Robin Williams after he had died. They thought it was really cool, then they showed me many YouTube segments of people that work with a special device named a spirit box. I have never heard of a spirit box before and it had my curiosity going for sure. The spirit box when in motion, or winded up makes a white noise sound, but within the sound many voices can be heard. The voices were somewhat broken up but at the same time many voices came through very clearly. Many people were quite excited that Robin’s voice was coming through clearly and it was totally Robin talking. There was no doubt. I do not think in any way that my suggestion to Robin has anything to do with these spirit box recordings. Robin just like my dad figured out a way to show that after death, the person that is now in the spirit world is still alive and is still connected to the people who are on earth. Robin did a amazing job of visiting anybody that was showing their signature. Many spiritual people came forward and said that they had a conversation with Robin.

December 2016 I visited my mom and family in celebration of Christmas. My visits during this time of year involved a lot of travel visiting my mom, then my brother, then my sisters family, and then down to Kentucky where my moms brother and sisters live. In Kentucky the family gathered at my aunt Marie and uncle Bill’s house where every year they decorated the house with a overwhelming amount of Christmas trees and Christmas ornaments. Like 35,000 ornaments … no kidding!!! It is absolutely beautiful!!! During my Christmas family visit I felt a shift occur within me. I was suddenly filled with a greater level of spiritual understanding. I felt like somebody gave me a super vitamin or something since any spiritual comment that was mentioned in conversation, I suddenly felt the need to go into teaching mode beautifully teaching on the mentioned comment. When I returned back to my moms house I awoke in the morning and as I opened my eyes I noticed that the bedroom was filled with little blue orbs of light floating all around the room, then the orbs disappeared. A voice suddenly told me that I was “NO LONGER MARTY THE CLIMBER, AND WAS NOW MARTY THE SAGE.” This was not a silent voice but was loud enough that I felt like maybe my brother and mom heard it as well. Once my mom and brother woke up I told them about the orbs and my brother commented that if you rub your eyes hard enough it will give you this orb type of effect. But I wasn’t rubbing my eyes and I felt a new foreign energy inside of me.

guy knew the Bible like no other person I met. So I threw in the common airport departure line saying, “Oh look at the time, I better catch my flight.” I said thank you and touched him on his shoulder, and he said that it was nice to meet me. As I walked away I felt like a fool that knew absolutely nothing of the Bible. The airplane landed at the Phoenix Arizona airport, I took a taxi cab ride to get back to my house, once at home I immediately turned on the television and right there showing on the television was the Bible man from the airport. He is Bishop TD Jakes. I pretty much still had my airplane baggage in my hands as I fell to my knees with amazement. OMG….TD Jakes!!! See I somehow knew that I knew that this guy really knew the Bible! Bishop TD Jakes is the Bible!!!

June 2018 was the annual Outdoor Retailers Show in Denver Colorado. I really enjoy the show for many reasons, but my favorite reason is to shake hands with many of the amazing climbing athletes that attend the show to support their corporate sponsors. On the last day at the show I noticed that Jeff Lowe, a historical climbing athlete and equipment specialist, was at the show and I had to meet him. Over the years he was becoming more ill in life and was now getting around in a chair with mechanical wheels, and communicated with a computer keyboard. I was so excited to meet him and we had a fun conversation about the climbing gear I have in my museum. The guy was like glowing and I could feel the energy coming from him. It was really amazing! Then tragically a two months later I heard the news that Jeff Lowe died. Then on that same day I heard the news that Tom Frost had died. I really don’t know much about Jeff Lowe but I felt totally broken that he died. I remember walking around the neighborhood in tears feeling that my best friend was now gone. I mean lots of tears. I know a lot about Tom Frost since I know a ton of info about Chouinard climbing gear, which Tom was a designer of many of the earlier Chouinard products. Thinking about Tom I didn’t shed one tear. I mean I was bummed that he had died and he is a huge icon in American climbing history, but not one tear. Then I would think about Jeff Lowe and the tears wouldn’t stop. I told this to my friend Terri which she was a close friend of Tom’s. She found it to be comical, but the loss of Tom was suddenly sweeping the nation. It was big news that we just lost Jeff and Tom, and on the same day.

Then suddenly something happened, and Tom started to talk to me. I instantly put my guard up since I am not really keen on this medium stuff. It is quite a emotional experience when you join hearts with somebody who had just passed. My brain said to me a few times that this is definitely Tom wanting to talk to you. “Maybe I should listen to what he has to say.” So I said hello to Tom and my first question I asked him was how did he find me. He said, “I saw your signature.” This is the fourth person who had passed then started talking to me, and each of the four said the same thing, “I saw your signature.” I told Tom my concerns with talking to him where it is really a honor yes, but somewhat creeps me out overall and emotionally drains me. Tom told me that I was his cross-over host. I never experienced anything like that before so I laid out the ground rules of how we were going to go forward with this. First of all I was going to write down our conversations as they were going on. So I got out a stack of typing paper, and the conversation began. The conversations went on for a week, and at times I found myself shaking with turbulence. I had my friend Stephanie Shaman-Sage me a few times during that week to keep me more grounded as I was having these conversations. There was no funeral ceremony set up for Tom so I figured I would be able to talk to him for additional weeks, or even longer. But then suddenly the light came and he said that it was time for him to leave. I got to witness him being taken away by the light. I was crushed. Now the tears for Tom were really flowing from me. I felt like my best friend was gone. I am very honored to have been chosen to be Tom’s host. This was a wild and beautiful experience for me! Tom was glad that I was there for him as much as I could, and I captured this entire occurrence in its entirety. It is difficult for me to go back and reread the conversations, especially the last few days of the conversations, since it puts me back to a feeling like I lost my best friend. I wasn’t just talking with Tom, I was with his heart. I was with his genuine and true essence.

At this time guru Glenn had just moved back to Arizona. We set up a meeting to once again reconnect with each other, and for me to deliver the Conversations with Tom Frost book to him for review. He was quite excited to read it and add his comments to it. A week later I met with Glenn for a late lunch and to go over his review notes about the conversations. After he completed reading the book he too had a conversation with Tom and added it to the book. It is so awesome!!! I was thrilled when he told me that the book I wrote was very clean, and indeed it is a genuine conversation with Tom. Then Glenn taught me how to remain in a better form of balance when I am invited to be with these conversations. Can I say here to Glenn, Finally!!!! Glenn’s form of high level teaching is, “To figure it out yourself.” (What I call, “Being Level 7’d.”) But what is the greatest benefit to me is that Glenn is the teacher that grades my final thesis’s, and then teaches me upon them. I never have experienced being a host before, and never knew it really was a thing. It was fascinating how I could hear Tom’s words so clearly, like I was talking on the phone to him or something. I have a great want to connect with William Feuerer, who is also known as the “Dolt,” who sadly died back in 1971. I know for years that the Dolt himself has been gathering his climbing gear creations while being in the spirit world, and somehow getting them to me to be preserved in my museum. Tom was a good friend of the Dolt and in one of our conversations, Tom excitedly mentioned that the Dolt himself was with him. To even prove it the Dolt right at that time sent me a precious gift through a friend. While I was at work Tom said, “Did you get Dolt’s gift?” I was not sure what he was talking about. When I got home later in the afternoon I looked at my emails and a person who was helping me with climbing gear history stated, “You won’t believe it but my mom just handed me two Dolt Tienail Tietacks that I didn’t even know that she had.” I want to donate them to your museum.” The coincidence was beyond amazing!!! What is fun is that Tom still visits me, quite often! He is definitely a character, and enjoys my rock gym course setting job. The down side of my host time with Tom is that it took me over three months following to get my emotions back in check. My skin looked somewhat grey. I am not keen on this Medium stuff.

The elders saw that I didn’t really understand the meaning of the gift, so they changed what I was personally thinking at that present moment. I turned off the television and the house was completely silent. I did notice that the house was even more silent than it has ever felt, and then suddenly I started singing a Indian song. I know of only one Indian song which is sung at the Shaman full moon ceremonies, but this song was different. I was singing aloud and the words were in the Indian language. A language I have heard before through movies on TV, but not from me personally. It was totally amazing!!! I was fully loving being outside of me and singing to my hearts content. I have absolutely no idea what the words were about but they must have been deep and beautiful since I was tearing up from the song. I continued singing for 20 minutes or more, then I sat back in my chair and reflected upon what just happened. I felt like I was in a room filled with peace. I could have sat there for the next few hours without even needing a thought, and just continue to soak in the peace. The Bible mentions that there have been people that suddenly started speaking different languages. “Talking in Tongues.” I know many ministers on the television have witnessed this sudden “Talking in Tongues” moment. I have yet to experience this until now. It was absolutely incredible and comfortable, and

I fell in love with this kitten and my friend Stephanie named him Lupine. As Lupine grew I already knew he was a gift from the Universe. Lupine was born with so much love and shared this love to the point that he was glowing. Every cat in the neighborhood that came across Lupine became his friend since Lupine never even raised a claw to anybody. One night I was noticing that Lupine was not indoors and it was getting very late. I went outdoors and searched for him until 1:00 am using my flashlight and calling repeatedly for him, but he was not showing up. I kept feeling like I was hearing a super light meow, but still could not find him and the light meow was driving me crazy. Outside of my house is a street light that lit up my front yard at night and under the street light was a tree that shaded a tiny spot in the street. Even though I walked the street with my flashlight, I saw nothing. So I went to bed for the evening and probably didn’t not even sleep.
I awoke early the next morning figuring I was going to put a few more hours in to finding my cat. I walked out the front door and there was Lupine in the street dead where the street light tree shaded the street. Lupine was only 1 1/2 years old and died just before Christmas 2020. I was devastated. I picked him up and paced the street for over a hour whaling in tears and yelling to the sky. I just couldn’t put him down. My neighbors probably thought I was crazy or something but I just couldn’t put him down. I was completely lost in tears. I performed a burial service soon afterwards as I burned sage and drummed with my Shaman drum burying Lupine in my front yard where it was interesting how the neighborhood cats came forward and circled around the grave. Imagine five cats sitting calmly and looking into the hole all at the same time. I called Stephanie and she calmed me down so I could regain my senses. Thank you again Stephanie for being there to ….Listen. To this day I feel like I am still carrying Lupine in my arms and tears are still flowing. I am still having trouble getting past Lupine’s passing. |

December 2021 was the annual wine and whisky gathering at Jeremy and Jessica’s house so I stopped at the grocery store to pick out my choice of wine I was placing into the wine tasting competition. I figured for sure I will have the win since I have the Spirit World hook up. Plus my dad was a award winning wine maker and he talks to me from the source. So show my open two hands and whala, the wine chosen was the Snoop Dogg Cali Red. A great wine where I figured I easily was going to get the win this year. But to further my strategy I purchased a second bottle of Snoop Dogg so people attending could fill their curiosity with the taste of the wine previous to the competition not knowing that this wine was in the competition. And all was in place to easily take the win!!! Yes!!! The wines in the competition were covered with paper bags and the people attending the party were the judges. So for the winning ceremony a guy named Duane ended up taking the win. I was just having fun with the party and thought no big deal. But then I asked if they could reveal what the winning bottle of wine was, and it was the Snoop Dogg Cali Red. I of course mentioned that the winning wine was actually mine. But then Jeremy brought out the bottle of wine that ended up in second place, and it was another bottle of Snoop Dogg Cali Red. What are the chances of that? I went over and bumped fists with Duane and we both agreed, that Snoop Dogg was tough to beat! It just shows that even if you have the Spirit World hook up, the Blessing will go to whom needs it the most. To me it would have only been a temporarily ego boost, but to Duane it was the true Blessing. Big applause Spirit World for the awesome fun!!!!!

On 12/5/2021 My uncle Bob died at 2:30am and his last words spoken were, “Let’s play ball”
For this segment with uncle Bob I want to show what my conversations with somebody on the other side of the veil is like. This is my usual process: 12/5/2021 9:07am [ I just woke up in the morning and heard the sad news but instantly following, Bob said hello opening with a bunch of jokes. I am sad yes but more I can’t stop laughing as I see how happy and carefree he has become. So I am somewhat pushing him away because I don’t want him to totally lock onto me and then I go through another round of having my energy drained away from me. ] |

MK - Bob are you there? Bob - Heck yes, this is awesome! MK - Working with Tracie so she can talk to you in a more clearer way. Bob - Marty thanks - Tracie can you hear me? I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! MK - Wow that shout out was huge!!! I am sure she heard that!! Bob - If not let me restate that - Tracie, I LOVE YOU!!!! MK - This is great, one more time, or as many times as you want. Bob - I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! MK - Super awesome. I know that your kids really loved you. The whole family is presently grieving so give them some time to reflect. Some of the family is not strong enough for this pain and may need to build a few walls to get through the loss….. even though you and I know there was not really a loss. Bob - Got it!! MK - Dad said he is on his way to see you. Bob - Yep he is here with me now. He gave me the run down on keeping some space with you. MK - Thanks dad!!! Lots of love to you. You are the greatest. Bob - I thought I was the greatest. |
12/6/2021 7:58pm - 8:15pm MK - Bob how are you? I could feel your energy was not as excited as it was yesterday. Bob - Yes quiet now. MK - Why is that? Bob - Maybe because I am amazed that I am still here and then seeing so many past friends it was so exciting but now I see I am not with my family members that are still on earth. Is that how I say it? Still on earth? Am I still on earth? MK - lets say you are in the source and earth is in the source so you are still with everybody, but more in a energy form. You can see all of us and more, but we can’t necessarily “see” you. However we have the ability to feel you. Bob - Still feel like being quiet. MK - Do you want me to leave you alone? I was simply saying hello. Bob - No, I appreciate you being here. Where this here is. MK - Well don’t get down on yourself. Things will start changing soon. Bob - I feel like I am just waiting, and I don’t know what I am waiting for. |
12/7/2021 8:38pm - 9:32pm
MK - Good evening Bob! How are you? Bob - Hello Marty, I am good. MK - Okay I turned on all of the light switches in my house to see how you did with the 24 hour challenge I presented to you. Right now I see that all of the light bulbs are working correctly. I do want to thank you since I have never had all of the lights on in my house all at the same time. My house is rather humble and I will say, full of light! Bob - Man I tried to mess with you any way I could but there must be some special trick to it or something. It seemed like nothing I did from here was showing up where you are. MK - Well that is not true necessarily. This morning I was completing my Marty spiritual story which the only thing left with it was our conversations. I momentarily paused from the writing and contacted Robert (son) and then Tracie (daughter) around 7:20am. Then I returned to the computer with the intention of continuing with writing the story but suddenly the Safari search engine unexpectedly quit. So I rebooted it and then it instantly quit again. So instead I went to recover a few of your photos from my files and when I opened the files there was nothing in the folders. This was a first for me! |
Final thoughts:
Many times in life I have come across a poem named Footprints In The Sand. Walking with the Lord seeing two sets of footprints. But when one set of footprints are seen, the Lord is questioned on why was the Lord not there. The Lord replies when the one set of footprints are seen, is when the Lord was personally carrying you. While observing the entirety of this Marty’s spiritual story, what I see is it is more than just the Lord that is doing the carrying. At every moment where I felt completely broken, it was the Lord that was present yes, but it was also friends and family that were putting aside their busy schedules to assist me back to a form of balance. All I needed to do is ask, and everybody provided. I can advance this by saying, the people who were asked, it gave them a warm feeling in their soul because they were invited to be helpful. Nobody is perfect in this world and everybody is going through some kind of issues in their lives. Maybe the quest of finding yourself can be less of a job if the person starts by just being “Genuine,” over pretending to be “Perfect.” |
