By a sister initiate from Guangxi, Mainland China
On September 19, 1989, I had a car accident
and sustained severe injuries to my cerebellum, or "little brain". I had a CAT scan at a local hospital, and the doctors there informed my family that I was in critical condition. During the next 35 days in the hospital, whenever I closed my eyes, I would see a group of identical saints sitting in a circle, meditating by my bedside, and was convinced that I would live. A head operation was scheduled but postponed several times, when brain surgeons discovered to their astonishment that the hematoma (blood clot) in my cerebellum was shrinking rapidly. The recovery process was taking place faster than in a 20-year-old person. And I was almost 51 then.
As a result, I did not undergo the risky brain surgery, which had a survival rate of only eight percent. I recovered rapidly and returned home. But very soon, I found that I had lost my sense of smell and taste. I could no longer detect odors or flavors.
One day, two months later, I suddenly "sensed" a strong fragrance in my throat during both inhalation and exhalation. Since it was stronger during inhalation, I frequently took deep breaths to enjoy this aromatic smell. I could not tell what it was, for the strong and extraordinary fragrance, which one could only call "perfect", was an unprecedented experience in my 51 year lifetime. It was something out of this world! The fragrance remained with me day and night, but after a few months, I could only detect it occasionally and less strongly, before it finally faded away in May or June of 1991. Then, in 1994, I again experienced this fragrance for a while. Although I was sure that it did not belong to this world, I had no idea where it came from.
In May 1997, I received initiation, and my throat began to "sense" the same incredibly exquisite fragrance again; so did my chest and the back of my mouth. The fragrance was very extraordinary, unique and refreshing, coming from the heart and going directly to the marrow, exactly the same as the fragrance I had sensed in the early 1990s. Sometimes it stays continuously for a few days and sometimes it comes intermittently, but it is almost always with me. If it is not there, when I meditate well or after meditating on the sound for 90 minutes, and also when I watch Master's videotaped lectures, listen to Her audio recordings, read Her books and even when I am about to open Her books, it will come again continuously or intermittently. Even if I'm doing nothing at all, it will also arise naturally.
In fact, at this very moment, while writing this article, I can sense this fragrance in my throat. I know that it is the same experience I had earlier, and that it comes from the same Source. It is the fragrance of Master, God, and the Saints. It proves that Master is not one of us earthly people. She is a Saint from the higher worlds. And I know that this fragrance is a special blessing from Her.
After initiation, when I read the bound edition of the News Magazine, No.1, I learned that Master had been traveling on a lecture tour of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou in southeastern China in September of 1989. I realized then that I had an affinity with Her and that it was Her transformation body that had saved me when I was in the hospital, for it was the same fragrance I had sensed during my recovery and after my initiation. Seven years before my initiation, She had allowed me to experience Her presence through the fragrance sent from the heavenly Saints!
