I have lived on the road and in the streets for a total of one year throughout my life. I have lived in the wilderness and backwoods for a total of four years of my life. I have lived 10 years of my entire lifetime institutionalized in juvenile, jails, prisons and mental health facitilities. I have been involved in about one dozen serious fights and have been up to the brink of kill or be killed in some of them. I have been held by gunpoint five times, knifepoint twice, fought two men at the same time, four men at the same time and would have won all of them if it hadn’t been for the fact that the oponent(s) once suffered defeat, would have come back with more people or a knife or gun, club or other equalilzer or some of them would have even called the law. I have endured severe cold, hunger, thirst, drenched by rains, been dunked in a cold river in the wintertime, walked miles through high snow drifts, dangered snakes, heights, shared my space at times with bears, wolves and cougars, moose, and man. I have withstood all of the various dangers of a common criminal when I have had my life sought by a syndicate consisting of a black magic warlock, cops, probation officers, a judge and a psychiatrist, all combined with their ruffian hit men that all of the above conspired to murder me/have me murdered, whichever end of the deal they were, those paying to have it done or those accepting payment to kill me. I have magnificently escaped each of these attempts of being murdered, each time followed some time later by being incarcerated in one of the institutions listed above. I was right in their sites and ended up escaping them by their own system, even if it meant spending time in institutions but I was still alive. I have been in a car accident and a motorcycle accident as well that I nearly escaped death in both.
Despite all this I have had a true, honest to God, in the flesh ascension into Heaven where I touched the celestial body of another person at length then returned to this life on earth as we now know it.
I also have been involved in many other miracles of God in which I was physically transformed into two places at the same time or transferred instantly from one place to another, time warps, time travel, interparallel universal travels and many other paranormal events.
 

My book contains the way I grew up on a farm and then expanding into crime and drugs. I hitchhiked to Florida and back four times before I was 18 years old.

As a result of a black magic warlock casting a mighty, evil spell I was soon made a mark of by illegal lawmen and their henchmen that all conspired to my murder. This has continued until recent times.

Then in my 20's I began taking trips to Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota, USA and Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. I hunted, fished and explored, camping in all sorts of weather at all times of the year.

There are various supernatural experiences including time warps, being in more than one place at a time, traveling from one place to another in the distance without traversing the distance between, oberving the sun in the west in the morning and in the east in the afternoon of a  single day, time travel from one day to another and yet another without the sun setting on me, aparent visits to parallel universes. Finally the most significant of these miracles I ascended to Heaven where I had actual physical contact with the celestial body of a girl that I had met before but had parted ways with in this life on earth as we now know it.

Synopsis: Where North Meets South and East Meets West
By Timothy Louis Baker
Timothy Louis Baker’s childhood was filled with traveling, vacations and working for what he wanted which is how he learned the good work ethic early on from work on his father’s farm. His Dad always thanked him for helping do the work on the farm, always saying, “Thanks Tim, I couldn’t have done that by myself.” Or “It’s a good thing you were here, I never would have thought of that by myself.”
However when he turned 16 years old Tim began a series of many encounters with black magic, a warlock, law enforcement and judicial officials, all combined into a syndicate conspiring to murder Tim. He narrowly escaped ten full attempts on his life, in his lifetime. Beginning with a nearly fatal automobile accident, escalating over a period of time into an intentional supposedly fatal drug overdose which occurred in jail, another separate attempt of the warlock to kill Tim at home, a drug pusher hired to shoot him that Tim discovered the plot from another prisoner when he was in jail that had been designed by a former probation officer of the author’s. Once he spotted a probation officer hitchhiking from a local truck stop that was telling four young men to kill him, obviously meaning for them to beat him to death but he luckily escaped by coincidence in quickly hitching a ride away from the area. Then he saw the warlock one last time but the evildoer was mysteriously burned up in a fire.
There are many, multiple, various, numerous experiences of the supernatural causing metaphysical events on the author. Such as time warps, instant transfers of Tim from being in one place to another place without covering the distance between, being in two places at the same time, instant transfers to other parallel universes, even ascension into Heaven where he touched the celestial body of another person he had previously met and instant transfers of physical objects to other places.
Actually he found his freedom early on in his teens, hitchhiking all over the country, living on the road, in the streets or out in the mountains but he tells of the following experience he had in 1989 at 30 years of age that was a living, in the flesh, wide awake, totally sober, ascension into Heaven:
“I was standing out by myself with nobody around where I had been let out of a less than compatible person who had left me off of my ride in his car there beside the Wyoming arid region Interstate Hi-way barely south of Casper with my thumb out waiting for the very first car to come along. There was no on ramp, no off ramp, no gas stations or restaurants, only near desert on both sides of the two strips of blacktop.
“The first car that came along luckily a great looking female Indian with four passengers, her three children and one of her friends, pulled over and picked me up.
“As the ride proceeded and she informed me she had picked me up so I could help drive and I did. Between her, her female companion and I we managed to get all of the way to Trinidad, Colorado that night before the next morning.
“Long before arriving at her destination, when I was driving I informed her that she would be a mate to me in Heaven and that it wouldn’t be long and I would be there where she would see me from the other side but that she would not remember me there then because nobody would remember anything about this earth there then like that, only the good parts of this life on earth as we now know it would have any meaning there then in Heaven.
“When I asked her those old time words, ‘You know what I mean?’ she replied those other old time words, ‘I think so.’ I don’t know if she followed any of what I meant the entire time I was talking about my philosophies of Heaven and earth, but she seemed to understand and didn’t show it if she didn’t.
“When she told me the ride was over in Trinidad, just before she pulled over and let me out, I tried to talk her into letting me come with her wherever she was going but she said she couldn’t.
“So I got out of the car and that was back in 1989 and I don’t remember much about the time I spent there in that town but know I hunted for work all over and didn’t find very much in paying jobs, only a few odd jobs and that was it.
“Later however I found some work outside of town and the little shack where I was to stay at nights was where I had the Heavenly ascension that I had described to the squaw I had known, she was there in her celestial body from Heaven and met me where I came from earth to Heaven in my earthly body that when we all go back and live over the times we are, have been and will be until Heaven exists again for eternity then, we were making love and a baby was at the foot of the bed in a wicker basket that we had born between us in Heaven, half white half Indian baby that was our first child. I was almost ready to get her pregnant with our second one when the ascension was over or rather just disappeared and I was alone on earth again but with the most remarkable memory of the best experienced anyone could have ever had of the afterlife, what it was like and thankfully what it was not life like there in Heaven.”
In his 30’s he finally settled down, married and had a wife and became a father in his hometown but then became divorced.
However the story also involves where he lived and how he got to be there, was all included into another conspiracy by law enforcement officials to murder him.
Plus then there were two more attempts by a sharp shooter out of a helicopter to shoot him.
Finally he became attached to a certain girl who came to his home and had sex. She was discovered to be pregnant soon after and because of extenuating circumstances, Tim thought he was the father and so tried to shoulder that responsibility but when that failed due to yet another plot upon his murder by a neighbor suspected of having taken money or some sort of deal by a then ex probation officer and a cop, he had to do something fast to try escaping his death.
So Tim committed arson on his home to be purposely taken into custody and sent to mental facilities and that is where the book ends but added that Tim is now a free man in the free world.

Excerpt

Where North Meets South and East Meets West by Timothy Louis Baker
At 17 I did what as far as I know was Mercer County’s first
drive by shooting. I had a friend who had lent out a shotgun to
someone who wouldn’t give it back to him. I told him we’d get it
back. At home I secretly took Dad’s 12-gauge 5 shot pump
shotgun from inside the house and put it in the trunk of my car.
My friend had some shotgun shells he had reloaded by hand
machine and he brought them along that night when my friend
drove my car at my request past the other man’s trailer with me in
the back seat with the shotgun ready. I aimed and fired two shots
into the home while we cruised about 20 mph past the house
trailer where the offending man lived.
That person I did this with went wacky and a few months later
turned himself in and me along with him. So later when I went to
court for all of this stuff and some other crimes he was willing to
testify for the state.
As always when I was arrested, tried and convicted of a crime
someone either saw and reported me or was in on the crime and
was willing to testify and or turn state’s evidence. That didn’t
happen until later.
One time I fire bombed the school building doors at the end
of the building. Late one night I pulled up in my Nova to the
school building parking lot with a wine bottle filled with gasoline
with a rag stuffed in the top of it. I got out of the car and lit the top
of the Molotov cocktail and threw it up against the steel and glass
doors and brick walls of the side of the school building. I very
quickly got in the car and drove off.
I did other things like Breaking and Entering a friend’s Dad’s
house when the boy had told me to do so and get some money.
I did and I got only $10 but the boy told on me. Later I was
walking near his house when I saw two cops pulled over out of the
car talking to him. He pointed straight at me and I could see his
lips moving, “There that’s him, he did it.” He told on me when
things had gotten just the tiny bit rough. It was even his idea.
The sheriff deputies handcuffed me and took me to jail. That
was when I was informed that the boy who I had done the drive
by for had turned himself and I in. I was released after overnight
with the agreement to come back to court when I was called.

Book Review: Where North Meets South and East Meets West By Timothy Louis Baker
Dec 11, 2009

By Randall Radic
Sufi adepts supposedly project their souls out of their bodies. Other people claim to have died, gone to Heaven and then returned to the land of the living here on earth. Such stories arouse mysterious and intimate emotions, which dilate blood vessels, causing chills to slide along the subcutaneous nerves of readers. Qualms of apprehension and excitement bubble to the surface. Only the dull, the insensitive, are immune.
Whether or not such stories are true is the subject of learned debate. Neurologists describe such events as anticipatory delusions, the result of misfiring brain synapses. The psychologists differ; such experiences, they explain, are the personification of ardent religious desires boiling up from the subconscious. Preachers refer to the soul. Paranormalists observe that ghosts and haunted houses exist. Which may or may not be their way of saying – with a heavy dose of sarcasm – “Big deal.”
Near the end of his remarkable book, Timothy Baker writes: “Or how would it sound to somebody else if you just began to testify that you had the answer to all religions that comes from an experience in the afterlife you had? Like as not you’d end up locked up.”
Tim Baker did both. He had a “flesh on flesh experience with Heaven.” And he got locked up. In other words, Tim Baker has lived a life beyond belief. A life of drugs, cars, jail, bumming around, prison, and persecution. And like the Apostle Paul, Tim Baker has gone to Heaven and come back to relate the occurrence.
The book is called Where North Meets South and East Meets West (NSEW). It’s half memoir, half travelogue, half biography, and half spiritual manifesto. You respond by saying that’s two halves too many. You are correct. NSEW is more in two distinct ways. For one, it is very subtle. For two, it is different (in a good sort of way).
Baker’s writing style has to be experienced to be believed. It’s so totally sundry and miscellaneous. As if listening to the stream-of-consciousness outpourings of a precocious adolescent who can’t be bothered with normal thought processes, because they constrict his manner of expressing himself. Frankly, it takes a little adjusting to, but once you get the hang of it, it’s simply marvelous. In fact, it’s charming.
A brief summary of the book would go something like this:
NSEW is the full and accurate report of the nimble proceedings in the highly extraordinary and highly interesting life of Timothy Louis Baker, who was a criminal, a tweaker and an inmate in both a prison and a mental asylum. The story comes complete with opinions on pretty much everything under the sun, including love, life and happiness. Along with extra-sensory perceptions and spiritual visions. Also included are character sketches of a “black magic warlock” and other assorted evildoers. Along with a detailed history of the author’s vocation as a Prophet, together with many other delicious tidbits of informative information, which have never before been revealed to anyone, man or woman or angel or beast.
It’s quite a book.

Book Review by Kushal Poddar
Where North Meets South and East Meets West (Publish America/ 2009) By Timothy Louis Baker: A Critical Essay
By Kushal Poddar

What do we perceive as belief?
An insight on the riddle we have been solving through our life and end in the realization, we are the threads and clues to the riddle. It is not upon us to solve it.

We grow up thriving on adventures, in stories, in reality. Seldom have we perceived adventures as the voyage towards the supreme truth which they are. The voyage we must go through before we find our own belief can be a book; the pages of such a book are often torn as we tend to forget our day to day details.
Not in all the cases.
Timothy Louis Baker is a journey man. An ‘adventurous spirit from early age’. Seldom you will confront so many adventures in one life time and realize the cosmic connection in all of those ups and downs. Even the mountains, the flats and plains, the woods and the lakes, the tractors and cars, the crashes and marijuana, the gunpoint held ups and so forth are all connected. At least I thought so while reading the serious autobiography of a mysterious traveler, Timothy Lois Baker. Serious it is. The poof of its seriousness lies in the use of statistics by the autobiographer. He remembers every numbers in his life. Almost all.
His early delinquency or his being so called (ha!) a criminal and an inmate in both a prison and a mental asylum is nothing in comparison to the magic in his life; the magic often tends to be dark yet enthralling. I insist, there is no false pretense of ‘destiny’ in this fine writing. It is almost a careless conversation around a fire and under one of the great sky he has described.
Until we reach his age of sixteen we are innocent and in touch with the immortalities. Here timelessness revolves around the mountains, flats, seas and seasons. As a traveler through out his life Timothy has seen all the directions meet. North, South, East, West. Into him. In the last sentence of this book we read “That was the story of the incredible life of Timothy Louis Baker where North meets South and East meets West.”
The autobiographer has been candid about his vices and benign about his virtues. The writing is a ‘time-wrap’. When I put it down the world was as it had been.
I do not say this book does not need another editing but then we would have lost the unique accent of the writing, the profound characteristics of the life of Timothy.
We do not survive without miracles. Minor miracles. But we do not realize them to be so. Timothy did. His life is full of miracles and debacles of dark magical forces. “Warlock” as he have mentioned.
Another important aspect of this book is the time travel through entire America. We have been made to remember many a little things. Timothy is certainly the poet of unsung little things.
While reading the chapter IX of the book a reader will find how incredible this life is indeed. Without imposing anything Timothy leads us to believe; this book contains his sacred librettos, incantations.
Believe me, I am already back to read the chapter I again…how our journey has began. May be the key lies there…

Book Review by Marilyn Nicholson
Where North Meets South And East Meets West, by Timothy Louis Baker - Book Review

This is a book review of "Where North Meets South And East Meets West", by Timothy Louis Baker, an autobiography.

I recommend this book highly for several reasons. First, I don't take book reviews lightly and have read this book from cover-to-cover three times, once fast, twice very slowly and liked it more each time. While reading it, pictures form in your mind. His way of describing various events as they unfold, is beyond compare.

I don't wish to give away too many 'teasers', but this is an autobiography of this mans' life that's been through at least three lifetimes, so far and I expect him to go through more. He's been through so much in such a short amount of years, one is drawn into the story line. So, after reading the book, you think about it for a bit and end up reading it again. I'm sure three times won't be the last time I'll read it.

The book hits all of your senses, from happiness to anger, fear, compassion and even love. This is something many or most authors can't or don't do, in one book. In other words, you feel like you're going through parts of it with him, some that you'd like to go through, others that you'd never want to, but you are.

Many autobiographies will give you hints of what's to come next. This one is different, in that you're never sure what's going to happen and are usually surprised at what does. You don't know, until you read it, the good parts of his life, or the nightmarish things he's gone through, or how things end up. The element of surprise is excellent.

This book, as it stands, would make a wonderful movie and I hope Timothy gets the chance to see it made into one.

Reader Reviews for "Where North Meets South and East Meets West"

Reviewed by Timothy Baker 5/22/2013
WHEN NORTH MEETS SOUTH AND EAST MEETS WEST TIMOTHY LOUIS BAKER

After reading Tims auto-biography I came to several conclusions. He’s been everywhere! He’s done a lot of things both legal and otherwise and has lived to tell the tale. To say the book read like a roller coaster ride is nothing short of an understatement.

To get into the book I have several caveats. Suspend your disbelief and withhold judgements on his character. The writer is probably not proud of his lifestyle and the places it took him like prison for his crimes along with several stays in mental institutions based on his spiritual beliefs.

You might think his paranormal experiences might be as a result of too much recreational drug use but again withhold your judgements and buckle up. This is a bumpy ride.

I will admit that the story line confused me at times but I was not going to give up on the tale. The man knows how to survive in ways I would have no clue. I give him kudos for not giving up to those who wanted to either see him fail or perhaps kill him but he has come out on top and vows to see those who are responsible for some of the things that happened to him have justice served.

I cannot say that I enjoyed the entire book but there were times I routed for him to come out swinging and take his life back for that I give him kudos even if he did break the law in the name of self preservation and in some cases sticking up for others.

I give the book and the author 5 stars for blatant honesty and courage to tell a hard story. It’s clearly a cautionary tale that screams DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.

Congrats to Mr. Baker for telling his story like no one else can.
