My name is Keith Rust. I am a son of God, husband of one, father of six, and grandfather of two (so far.) I am very conservative in my principles, embracing truth regardless of emotion, and I’ve learned enough to know there’s a lot I haven’t learned. I wasn’t seeking any type of mystical euphoria or even answers to lifelong questions about humanity. I already had a wonderful foundation in understanding life, my place in it, and the continuity before I was born until well after my physical form ceases. Like anyone, I have flaws, as humans we are weak by nature, but infinite in potential. By divine design I was led in multiple instances in my life, one of which was the discovery of Mindsight.
In 2020, I was introduced to an online show, America’s Real Deal by virtue of my brother-in-law’s brother owning the show. In brief, for those unfamiliar, ARD is like Shark Tank, but the public are the investors. In the first episode I watched, I saw blindfolded kids swinging lightsabers, hitting beanbags that were thrown at them and calling out the color of the bags as they were hit. The hosts confirmed the masks are blackout, no holes, and yet this was happening. Like Jack Sparrow, I thought, “That’s interesting.” And then I let it be.
Months later I started receiving impressions that I need to check it out. After a handful of these impressions, having years of experience receiving these impressions and understanding the source, I caved and started my exploration. I investigated the company, met with the CEO, and was convinced I needed to jump into a five-day class. My intentions were clear: I wanted to teach the blind and I needed to experience this for myself. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when showing up. I assumed there would be some meditation work, which I had never done before (not wanting to become one of “those people.”) I had never participated in martial arts, or yoga, but I was open to try, due to the impressions received.
Day one, I experienced a new sense of detection without my eyes. Not sight, but a feeling in my hand that was noticeable when my hand hovered about a foot above the target object. Day three, I started seeing piercing white lights, the size of a pinhole, that I was able to use to detect the location of vertical poles. By day five I started “seeing” using Mindsight, seeing a fuzzy gray outline of the target object. My mind was blown and I needed to come back for the next training, where we practiced finding objects at a distance, both direction and distance, finding objects within our 360° reaching area, then extended area, detecting colors, and shapes.
Two very important events happened after my first training and in the second training. First, after three weeks of fairly regular practice after the first training (almost nobody practices daily, so I’ll forgive myself for practicing every 2-3 days) I found that there was a shift where the exercises and practice turned from something that I did to something who I am. Having an accountability group was a huge boost for me to continue my practice, so kudos to them helping me along this path. Second, in the middle of the second training, I overheard some conversations that conflicted with me mentally and emotionally. Things I thought were way too fringe, or woo woo, for me to accept. I struggled, thinking what did I get myself into, or should I even be associated with these fine folk. I was perfectly willing to immediately drop it all and never go back, if that was the needed action to take. After praying to my maker in earnest that night, I didn’t get a response. In the morning I continued my pleadings for direction and guidance, which did come and clearly, indicating that this practice is fine and to keep going. Having trusted my spiritual impressions for so many years, I was able to return to training, taking another step into the dark, trusting I wouldn’t stumble. Now, over five years later, it’s still going well and getting stronger every day.
We are emotional beings. We do and say silly things, which is part of being human. So, how do we make life altering decisions, especially when we are comfortable where we are, afraid to make mistakes, or become one of “those people” that we would rather avoid? Yes, it’s true that everyone’s path is different, but we all need to have a proven source for guidance. I have mine. Do you have yours?
