Such was the grand story of the land Ilchi Lee was looking at for the first time in the searing heat of Sedona’s summer day. I was deeply impressed by the story of Lester Levenson and felt a close kinship. His suffering and fear, awakening and enlightenment seemed like they were my own. I was, however, most surprised to hear what he said just before he died: “Soon, an awakened soul from the East will come to use this land to awaken many other souls. I am simply the person who is preparing this land for his arrival.”
Although there was controversy surrounding the ownership of the land even while Lester Levenson was alive, he didn’t will it to anyone, not even his closest students. When I first went there on that fateful day, it had been two years since his passing and the ownership issue was headed to the courts with several different claims to the land by his numerous students.
As I looked at the expanse of land from a hilltop, I recalled what Lester Levenson’s soul had said to me a few hours before. He had said that he wanted me to use the land for my spiritual purposes. No matter how inspiring and Tight’ his message felt, however, there was no way this could happen in any realistic sense. “It’s all well and good to tell me to use this land, but it’s another thing for me to actually attempt to buy it. We simply do not have the financial wherewithal to afford this… and what if we do acquire it? It’s a huge piece of land in the middle of the Arizona desert.
