“The October Gate” is a beautifully written story about a woman’s spiritual journey to find wholeness. Lucy, the woman, is recovering from cancer. She and her husband have relocated to a new area. Having plenty of time on her hands to focus on her healing, Lucy makes friends with her neighbors. She discovers that some of them are pretty incredible. The person that intrigues her most is Sarah. Sarah obviously operates on a higher level than most of us. Lucy starts recording her stories. When Sarah passes away, Lucy is told that she has not seen the last of her. Sarah begins showing up in her dreams to offer her lessons.
These lessons come from messages given to Sarah by spiritual guides. There are nine messages with each getting their own chapter in this book. These lessons are meant for all of us to live and learn from. Lucy discovers how life is about being connected with the Oneness. She is taught the difference between living your life ruled by your ego and living your life ruled by love. She learns about her spirit guides and how the spiritual realm is organized so that it is possible for our spiritual growth to be assisted. She also is able to ask questions of which answers can only truly come from the spiritual realm. In this story Lucy is writing everything into a book so that mankind will be able to read it and learn from it.
The author, Ann L. Albright, indicates that her life is very similar to Lucy’s. She had to overcome a major illness and she also received messages from the spiritual realm which she put into Lucy’s story. She really does an incredible job of relaying the messages through Lucy’s experiences.
For myself, I gained so much incredible wisdom from reading these pages. If I were to write everything down that I learned and felt about what was said, I would be writing a whole other book. Without a doubt, “The October Gate” by Ann L. Albright came into my life with perfect timing. It answered a lot of questions and summed up a lot of thoughts that have recently been flowing through my own mind. I plan to go back and reread it, take notes and then do some journaling. I highly recommend this novel and look forward to finding out what other people gain from it.
