A Wonderful Morning Getting Out Of Pain

For those of you who do not know the essence of my blog posts, I write about how we can find Heaven in the everyday journey of our life here on Earth.  

For the last several days I have had a very sore middle right finger - being swollen and full of pus.  I think I made it worse rather than better by sterilizing a needle and trying to prick it unsuccessfully!  This morning I decided to do something about it - and headed to the Queen Elizabeth Urgent Care Clinic on Marlowe in NDG for 7:30am - in order to be one of the first in line when their doors opened at 8am.

I sat in the waiting room and was joined by another man - who looked about the same age as me - and had on jeans with a multitude of patches - the most notable being a big peace sign - along with a patchwork bag which also had a big peace sign on it.  I couldn't help but to initiate with him and asked about the peace signs - thinking this may be one of his causes or missions- but it wasn't.  His name is John Leduc and he is from Verdun.

After speaking a bit with John - the very nice lady at reception came over to me and told me that she would find me a spot - offering me one at 10am - but then saying that the doctor I was meant to see had locked herself out of her car and was going to be late.  Then somehow she found me a spot at 9am and processed me and told me to go back and wait in the holding room.

I went back and carried on a wonderful conversation with John - about his life - his addictions and his passions.  The words flowed easily between us and time passed rapidly.  The waiting room filled up and several others seemed to enjoy the conversation John and I were engaged in.  A beautiful young lady emerged from behind the doors and called my name.  Her name is Kass.  I told her I really liked her look - but she is much more than beautiful - she is just really nice!  We had a wonderful conversation as she triaged me - taking my BP, pulse, temperature and specifics.  After about 10 minutes she led me back to the waiting room where I continued with John until he was called to see the doctor.

My turn was soon-to-come and another really nice nurse led me to the examining room - sat me down - and examined my finger and dressed it to soak it.  Inside about 5 minutes - a jovial doctor - Dr. Mark Roper came in and greeted me.  To say he was great is to understate the case.  He deftly performed the necessary procedure on my finger - releasing all the pus and blood - and then covering it with a bandage - all done inside 5 or 10 minutes.  All the while Mark and I spoke about a variety of subjects - most notably his Christianity.  I told him that I have written a number of books on Spirituality and that a large component of my mission is bringing Heaven to Earth - for all of mankind - for eternity.  When Mark was finished he told me he would send a prescription for antibiotics to my pharmacy - which I went and picked up.

You wouldn't think that a visit to the hospital could be a Heaven on Earth experience - but this was - in spades!  I had the great fortune to meet and connect with not one or two - but 5 or 6 beautiful people who made my day brighter - and in the process I got to see the workings of a great facility and got out of pain!  To anyone and everyone in the NDG area who has a need for an urgent doctor visit - I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit the Queen Elizabeth Hospital's Urgent Care Clinic.  And to everyone who made my day this morning so special - thank you!

Wishing you peace, love and joy always...

Heaven Right Here on Somerled (and elsewhere!)

Image
There are places on this earth where the veil is thinner, where the air seems to shimmer with something more than oxygen — where Heaven leans in and whispers, I have already begun. I did not always know this. But I began learning it on a mountain with God — December 25 to 31, 2003 — seven days, seven Says, seven revelations burned into my heart like coordinates on a spiritual map. A time when I understood, not theoretically but viscerally, that Heaven was not a far-off prize but a present possibility… a Kingdom that desires to erupt right where we stand , if only we allow ourselves to see. More than twenty years later, that truth still unfolds in front of me in the most unlikely ways. In NDG. On Somerled. Between two storefronts. In the witness of strangers who don't yet know they’re angels. And most recently, in the story of another Montrealer whose quest echoes my own: Ashkan Karbasfrooshan — founder of WatchMojo , architect of Context Is King , and now a surprising figure in th...

From Moneyed to Moneyless

The G3 Limitless Debit Card and the Birth of a NuVo World There are moments in history when humanity doesn’t simply turn a page — it turns a corner. Quietly, almost imperceptibly at first, and yet with the unmistakable gravity of destiny gathering itself for a leap. What we are building through the G3 Limitless Debit Card is precisely such a moment. It is not just a new product. Not simply a tool. Not a financial instrument. It is the hinge on which an entire world will swing open. It is the gateway to a Moneyless Economy , the architecture for a new society, and the first spark of a NuVo world — a world where every life has enough, every person belongs, and every community thrives without the tyranny of currency. And like all revolutions that endure, it begins one community at a time. Phase One: The Endowment — A People Empowered, A Community Transformed Imagine a neighbourhood — NDG, Somerled, Côte-des-Neiges, wherever the Spirit breathes — waking up one morning to discover that ...

The Key to the Universe

My story is a long and amazing journey.  In January of 2004, as I lay comatose in a bed in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital for 3 days - a reel played on continuous loop in my heart and mind.  It followed my entire life - from my most junior years - to a time which at that point I had not even experienced.  God gave the name of this journey - ' Come Away With Me.  The ongoing story of the life of Ross Harvey .' It is 20 years later and this name - and the journey have stayed ever-present in my heart and mind.  God told me that He would create a series of movies about my journey and would follow this by continuous live streamed episodes - as myself and a group of 300 'Pioneers' traveled across the worlds - seeking out new horizons. Please get my books; Come Away with Me and Rebel With A Cause - which together form the collective of my life's journey - my memoirs.   For the movies, God has told me that there will be no ...
