Do you ever have unique moments from your distant past come to mind?
The other day, a random moment from my childhood bubbled up in vivid detail.
A Close Brush with Death
It was June of 1971. I was about to turn 14 years old. Some neighborhood teens invited my older sister and I to go swimming with them in the Smoky Mountains near our new home in Tennessee.
The mountains were gorgeous, and the river looked so inviting. We horsed around, laughing and splashing.
Then, I decided to float on my back. I heard sounds -- people shouting -- but my ears were under water, and I ignored them, assuming they were just the sounds of teenagers playing.
Suddenly, I found myself being violently tossed around in the water.
Rapids! I had floated into rapids!
Totally inexperienced with swimming in rivers, I had never seen rapids, much less swam in them.
Unbeknownst to me, eleven people died in those rapids only months earlier.
Huge, frightening boulders surrounded me, threatening me with their unyielding mass.
Then -- a quiet, calm inner voice spoke to me.
“Just relax. Let the river carry you. You’ll be alright.”
So, I did. I relaxed and allowed the current to move me between the rocks.
Eventually, the rapids subsided, and I floated into still water.
To my surprise, along both banks of the river, big crowds had formed -- everyone visiting the river that day had gathered, waiting to see my limp body come out on the other end.
But I wasn’t limp. I was alive, and unharmed. I swam to shore and climbed out to a big hubbub of unwanted attention.
Uncanny Timing
The timing of this vivid flashback was uncanny.
Here I am, 48 years later, putting sacred knowledge - how to Remote View - out on the Internet for the masses to experience, in the form of my practical Controlled Remote Viewing courses.
And for me, this experience is very much like going through those rapids. It is new, unchartered territory.
The Rapids of Your Life…
Life is like that for all of us at various times, isn’t it?
We enter into the stream of life, and sometimes we hit the rapids. They can be violent, rough, and full of obstacles. Danger abounds!
And then that familiar still small voice speaks:
“Just relax. Allow the current to carry you. You’ll be alright.”
Can You Trust?
Can you do that now? Can you trust that there is Someone behind the wheel of this great big Universe, steering things through the rapids?
I find great comfort in waking up every day and just turning my day over to a Higher Power. While I try not to define what that means -- as in “God” or “Source” or “Universe” or “Christ” --
I do feel loved and protected and guided.
A Force of Nature…
Years ago, I had a revelation. Jesus said, “God is Love.” Though I hadn’t given that much thought previously, it suddenly had deep meaning. Love, I realized, isn’t just an emotion. Love is a very powerful Force -- like gravity.
Soon after having this private revelation, I began reading this very thought, in my exact words, everywhere. It showed up in books, in talks with major thought readings, and in guided meditations.
There is No Size?
Similarly, I was out on a walk a few days ago, just bubbling over with gratitude. So many miracles of healing have taken place in my life in the past year. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that these miracles were engineered by the Universe to instigate healing within me -- in order to remove those obstructions to allow me to do the things I am destined to accomplish for the higher good.
“But,” I wondered, “How can this massive Universe, or God, be aware of me and my needs?” After all, I am less than a speck on a tiny blue ball, in the midst of a massive swarm of stars! Then I heard it -- that still, small voice again: “Just as there is no Time, there is no size.”
What? There is no SIZE??? What does that mean?
Love and Consciousness are Bound Together
Consciousness is everywhere. We are all connected within it, all One. It is bound together -- WE are bound together -- by the Force known as Love.
Last night, in a Zoom meeting with my most advanced students, I shared this revelation. “How interesting,” said one student, “Dr. Eben Alexander spoke at my church last night, and he said exactly what you just shared, word for word.”
We live in a holographic universe, where thoughts and ideas pour in to those who are attuned to that frequency.
For example, did you know that several inventors invented the telephone at the same time, all over the world? Alexander Graham Bell just made it to the patent office first.
Just Breathe…
My friend, when you feel drained and exhausted from fighting the rapids of life, go sit and breathe for a bit. Just breathe. Think of all the things for which you are truly grateful. Then relax, take a nap, and know that you are loved by the Universe. I love you, too.
Big hugs,
Lori

Jan McCabe
I understand Janet. There is a learning curve, but you can do it! You're here and ready to learn; that is the first step!
Such beautiful words thank you. Would love to do your course but the mandates caused me to lose my job. However I so often wanted to learn RV and I so muched enjoyed the 4 day course. And the time will come to go further. I am just so glad to have found you. It just popped up on my computer. Thank you!
I am very interested in these classes but can not have a way to pay for them I am on SSI only income
I've had dreams about the river by my dad's house, most I drowned it, these happened at different times In my life.
I recently moved back from Seattle to be with my family after I went through a nasty addiction trying to chase the enlightenments I gained from it.
Two days ago I went back to place my dreams I paused and just talked to the water. I even took a video, the water sort of spoke to Me and represented itself as love.
This spot is right under a bridge where lots of kids graffiti and trashed it. I stepped back and saw the bigger picture.
No matter the hate and rubbish humans do to nature, love will always flow and continue.
I begun to have good outcomes when I realise and practice- as chinese said- that we shouldn't swim against the current. And LOVE. That is more then a metaphor. In Interstellar there is a line:" love transcends time and space" so it should be something that's moving us in that direction. Good point Lori! Thanks!
Thank you!
Wow, Lori- your childhood experience reminds me of a similar one. I was driving on a narrow country road, and a blind curve was ahead. Suddenly I heard a voice say "Get to the right!" I did-got onto the berm, and immediately, a big, black car came around the curve, right where I would have been had I not heeded that instruction! I spent the rest of the trip to my dance class thanking whatever angel saved my life!
Hi Sheila!
Aren't those moments amazing. It really opens a door to awareness that we are surrounded by more than what we can see!
Hugs,
Lori
Hi there! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow
you if that would be okay. I'm definitely enjoying your blog
and look forward to new posts.
Hi there,
Lori does have a twitter account and here is the link. https://twitter.com/CRVinstructor
Welcome!
Elizabeth for Lori
I needed to read that. I wish my small voice was as loud as yours. I do agree with all you've said, I just have lots of developing to do in a time period when there are no moments to be wasted.
Thank you for your lovely and wise blog, Lori.
Hi Lori!
I just completed the CRV basic course. Loved and hated it at the same time. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your experiences. I will continue.
Navigating the rapids of life really helps!
Love,
Marilyn
Thanks Lori, for the good work that you do. The world needs more like you. I will pass on your class but I wish you great success with it. I am a psychic myself and too set in doing long distance readings, which are much like controlled remote viewing. I enjoyed your classes very much and found it interesting. My Mother's maiden name was Lambert, do you have relatives in the Sacramento, CA area?
Thanks, Jo Ann! Lambert was my ex-husband's last name, which I kept as an author name. Too many Lori Lamberts. Too many Lori Williams. So it made sense to combine them. My mom's family is from Pittsburg, California. Italian...
Lori I took your free four day Master class abd loved it and came amazing close to the target unfortunately I'm going to have to take you're cvr naster class at a later time even ding the 6 months payments just are not affordable at this time .

Thank you, Sherry! I need to write more letters to you and my other friends! Big hug to you!
Lori
Hi Lori!
I’ve always searched for a way to do something supernatural. My mother passed away when I was very young and I’ve tried many times to contact her. This class has helped me so much by making me realize there is something more after death.
Thank you for this 🙂
Hello, Isabelle! Thank you for writing! Oh my gosh, the stories I could tell you of my encounters with the afterlife! You would definitely know without a doubt that there is life after death. My heart goes to you. We lost my mother in 2020. I understand your pain and send you much love.
Big hug,
Lori
I had a very close brush with death in 2017 after a bleed on my brain where I met my husband and father in the spirit world. I was given the choice to stay in the spirit world with my husband or return to earth. I chose earth as I felt I was needed and when I regained consciousness my interest and love for the spirit world was ignited. I am now a channel for healing and light language and am a level 2 Reiki healer. I have also met some wonderful people, all possible due to my decision to return for unconsciousness. The spirits work in some wonderful ways.
I am really thing about taking our couse
