Gates McKibbin wasn’t my given name. I used to be Sue Ellen McKibbin. But when I was thirteen years old, I wanted something different. Or perhaps I wanted to be someone different. I’m not sure.
Thus begins Open Gates, a story of how the author kept a foot planted in two worlds – the mundane and the mystical – after a near-death experience irrevocably altered her perception of reality. As Gates recalls, I learnedhow to be a 100% good girl, as long as no one knew I really wasn’t.
While pursuing a career consulting with major corporations Gates became a clairaudient scribe for spirit, channeling messages into journals she kept private. But with guidance from afar she took a series of life-altering leaps of faith, eventually publishing a dozen books with a global reach.
As Gates wrote in one journal: To be present with spirit is to be a mystic. To be public in that presence is to affirm the unlimited potential of all of humankind to evolve toward the One. Your public persona will have her ego slain. Your mystical self will be reborn from those ashes into limitless loving.
