History of Author "Lance Reynard"

(2008)


Please note: As I continue to work on this I may get a bit lengthy as my recall (memory) has images from the first week of this life and son on forward. All I need do is focus on a time and the details come rushing back into an extremely long winded story.

So I will make an effort to keep things fairly simple.


Born in the 50's.. in the "Resurrection" hospital in Chicago Illinois at 6:34 am.

Many other answers are here at this link.



From the Chicago to Louisiana ,New Orleans,in the artist quarter.
Where the first two years of life were spent with my two elder sisters.
Nancy who was three years older and Rebecca, a year older than I.
Our parents sold their oil on canvas paintings.

"I still have very distinct recollections of those days and places. We had a house/baby sitter , on elderly black woman named "Katie" and a vicious two-three year old neighbor named "Jill" who liked to bite and made me cry on several occasions. The lay out of our flat and more is ,to this day, clear in my mind."

It was at about the third year of my life that my parents decided to split up.
Mom took the kids and moved to Grandpa's farm,

Which still exists today, in South central Minnesota.

Grandpa also owned a home and store in "Albertville" that we lived in as well.

(My grandfather and his wife had ten children, my mother being one.)
(Each of those had an average of eight.)
When you imagine that there were two farms across the road from each other and one farm house has ten kids with two parents.
Then the larger farm house has twelve kids with Grandma, Grandpa and two other parents.

Then you add myself and two older sisters, with one parent.

Now that's twenty seven kids and seven elders.
Quite a life. The farm life.

All of the kids had their chores.
We worked our asses off too.

We would alternate from to town home to the farm home and during my third year I was taking sketching classes with my elder sisters.
For the most part from the age of around three till the age of seven
I was either on the farm or at the cabin (at the magical water) lake Mille Lacs (central Minnesota).


Near Mille Lacs Lake was the first Monestary that I frequented.

Crosier Seminary

Mom always wanted me to be a priest.
So for a few summers I would be shipped off to "summer school" at the monestary.
That building and the days waking in such splendor really set me off to the "grandure" of religion.
Now my uncle owned the restraint/bar down the road from the monestary.
The "Two Twins" in "Onamia, Minnesota".
I believe I was around 7-9 yrs of age.
When I was around eight my mother met some one and by the time I was nine she was ready to get married to Ronald K. Johnson and move to the infamous house "3811".


I call it 3811 for good reason.
"It was while living here I found my first encounter with "obvious" spiritual forces.
The first time an object disappeared from my fingers I was around ten years old.


At the time I was one very pissed off little guy. I mean...come on! What's the point of taking some little kids toy?  Picking on a 10 year old! Oh wow! What a great and powerful OZ!  I was livid.  Very angry, and had to figure out who to blame...It took many years to realize the value of that anger. "

And , of course the value of realizing something exists, something exists...hummmm. I suppose the question would be . "How much?" and what is the "reality factor", in dealing with this "Greater Power"?.

There have been many instances throughout my life that the "spiritual nature" has altered my surroundings to the degree that I have questioned existence, or maybe I should say, forced to acknowledge something "fu##ing with me, for some reason.

I am , by nature a "non believer" and very analytical and scientific.

If it can not be proven then it does not exist. Period.

However...I have seen so many 'inexplicable' phenomenon that I have experimented with, that I am certain, by proof, that something does exist. God/Budda/Allah/Jesus/The Crow...something.."IT"  I think "IT" suits it most appropriately.

I have been contacted by Secret Orders and Cults.

I have been given the honor of sitting in the throne of 'Grand Wizard' with a certain Secret Organization.

I just wish I knew the name of it.

I have been professionally (institutionally) I.Q. tested 5 times in my life beginning in the 3rd grade (where I skipped 4th) and again later in life during my 20's and 30's .

These tests reveal that I 'rank' in the top 2% of the national (American) average (over 190) it hasn't made me rich, more socially dis functional than anything.

I have been accredited by the International Tarot Society and several Secret Orders around the world.

As well as offered certificates of training & abilities by psychic and paranormal organizations as well. 

I feel no need to display any articles or certificates. The work speaks for itself . 

When the world raises in the intelligence and level of enlightenment from whence it began then I will have done my job.

If you need to pursue it because some movie star or singer does it then you may not need this right now.

Right reason gives right response.
