Better late than never to tell this experience. I had this realization back in the mid 80’s.
One evening while at home I chanced to tune my stereo to a broadcast of a children’s choir singing in French. Immediately I began crying uncontrollably. I could see myself standing in front of a group of children assembled in the cafeteria of a famous hospital in France. I could see myself, dressed in a business suit of the time period. The children were singing to me to thank me for helping them. I had lost several of my own children due to disease and worked hard to prevent this from happening to others. The image of the children singing brought me back to the sorrow of losing my own children. My wife came up from behind me and put her arm around me to comfort me, we cried together.
Yes, I knew my name, Louis Pasteur. I had some difficulty absorbing this experience but suddenly a thousand things in my current physical life made sense. I remembered how I built a Pasteurization device to sterilize my food when I was about 8 years old. It didn’t work of course but I thought it did. I used long-wave Ultraviolet light on my food.
It’s all a little foggy now but at the time of the realization this vision hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt confused but also sensed some part of me was undergoing a powerful awakening.
I talked to “Vaughn” (Louis Spaegel) at the center and told him my experience. He confirmed what I had seen and realized, he added that Pasteur was a very advanced spiritual being.
This started a storm in my head, who and what am I? My ego took off without reason. Oh boy, I’m somebody!
The following day I was driving my motorcycle past the Miramar airfield and my mind was preoccupied with the thought of what a spiritual being I must be!
Suddenly, the voice of GOD entered my head and said: “YOU DO NOT HAVE A HIGHER SELF!”
I nearly lost control of my motorcycle. The voice was powerful and forced an immediate shut down of all of other thoughts and then went silent. I cruised further down the road in a stunned condition, I have no idea how I survived my drive. I felt crushed, I felt silly. I’m guessing about 10 minutes passed as I drove in silence and experienced an emptiness I can’t describe. Suddenly GOD spoke again and said plainly:
“A HIGHER SELF HAS A YOU!”
Huh? Oh I get it! I’m the tail of the dog, I’m the puppet not the puppet master. Steve Anderson was NOT Louis Pasteur, the being that has a Steve puppet once had a Pasteur puppet!
This lesson curbed my ego (at least a little) and gave me a sense of purpose. All I’ve got to do is listen and cooperate.

My kind brother, absolutely beautiful, eye-widening, and spiritually cleansing “humble pie.” It so, so applies to me, in so many ways. I truly appreciate the profound meaning of this lesson, a great reminder to study, learn, and apply the science of love in every moment of my life – a commitment to listen, and cooperate, like a good patient (puppet) aiming to be cured of ailments.
There is a great lesson here for me. Curbing the ego, keeping it in check as I navigate through this physical existence, is quite a task. You have shed light on just how tricky the old self can be. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Steve,
Great to have you with us on the site! When Lesley said she had been talking to you, I hoped you might join us. Of course, excellent post. Very interesting lifetime that of Louis Pasteur. I feel it was a necessary awakening for you. God’s attempt to curb your EGO (at least a little) was fun to visualize. I can just picture you on that shaky motorcycle;)
Greetings from Birgit too! We look forward to your posts……Ken
P.S. Knowing that you lived the life of Pasteur brings an even greater meaning and larger grin to our faces in remembering how you did your light examination of the Ceremonial Bowl:)!!
Great Realization Steve. This kind of testimonial truly help the rest of us students to understand the importance of studying the Science. Our Egos are now our worst enemy as we attempt to shed the binding coils of our past. And what a wonderful way the Brothers showed you. I had a similar experience when I first came into contact with Dr. Norman – so, I truly relate to your experience. Only those who are ready to accept such concepts will receive them. Bravo!!
Greetings Steve,
Bienvenue….Bienvenue….and humble pie indeed!
Books in schools,libraries, and an occasional home throughout this world pay tribute to this soul who channeled into this plane so much to help ease the pain and sorrow that disease can inflict upon man….and Louis himself as we know, did not escape personal sorrow. He and his wife Marie suffered greatly with the loss of more than one child to the diseases he was trying to eradicate.
On a lighter note….I’m thankful for Louis’ technique of treating wine that stopped bacterial contamination….pasteurization!
Steve, I’m glad not to have been on the back of your motorcycle when you were presented with, “YOU DO NOT HAVE A HIGHER SELF!” And yet I know that Spiritual Training Wheels were in place before that realization came into your consciousness!
Love and Light Always,
Lesley
I really like that way to look at it. We’re simply the latest puppet of our higher selves, built from the same stuff as the puppets before us, with either some little improvements or little errors still carried over. What happens when you evolve beyond this weird puppet world? Why, then you have no strings to hold you down! You can be a real boy, Pinocchio!
