There are two versions of the Johnny Geno story .... There is my atheist son, Bobby’s version of Him, and then there is the “real, true, other” story of Johnny Geno. You’re welcome to choose which version suits you better. I will tell you that I never once rode a school bus until I became a teacher. He likes to tell people that I had to walk twelve miles uphill both ways in the snow to get to school. He will also tell you that I studied by firelight using a slate and a rock. l tell you this to give you a hint that he just might not be totally accurate, even if he is my dearly beloved son.

My atheist son, Bobby’s version of how Johnny Geno, Kitty’s Spirit Guide came into being ...

“Johnny Geno is my mother's childhood imaginary friend. One day early in the morning, her mother admonished her for such childish antics. That very same morning, while waiting for the big yellow bus to take her to school, she said good bye to Johnny Geno. He left that day but was never really gone.

“You see Johnny Geno was no ordinary childhood friend. He was the imaginary friend of a child with a stubborn streak that would make rocks look wishy washy. Had it been any other way, you wouldn't be at this site today, for he would be off slaying dragons and saving damsels in distress, or whatever it is imaginary friends do when no longer needed. And while that may be a fine story and noble deed, it isn't Johnny Geno's story or deed.

“As mentioned, Johnny Geno never really left. One day my mother decided to call Johnny Geno back. It could have been a blow to the head. A viral infection. Perhaps a garbanzo bean that was a little off because it always wanted to be a snow pea. But garbanzo beans can't very well be snow peas for that would be silly and they would get beat up in legume school. I digress. Whatever the reason, HE CAME!!

Well, isn't that something! This is his story and record of deeds. Judge him as you see fit, but remember, you'll never change my mother's mind.”

Written by Robert E. Rogers, also known to his mother as Bee-Boo, from his very earliest days.

Kitty’s version of Johnny Geno ...

Well, on to reality, or to my verison of it as best I can figure ...

It is true that I had what my parents called an “imaginary friend” from about the age of two until about the age of five, when I started school. My mother was distressed that I might talk with my “imaginary friend” at school and embarrass myself, so she asked me to let Him go. Sadly, rather than suggesting that I just leave him home, I agreed. In later years, when I questioned her, she says that He told me he was going “to the big house on the hill”, quite possibly a description to a child describing the Other Side of the Veil? It’s also the only thing she could remember that I ever shared with her about Him at any time.

When I asked my mother what I talked about with Johnny Geno, her reply was always that she never heard me speak out loud to Him, although I was apparently quite loquacious, and she listened carefully. She would see me nod my head, but that’s all. Johnny Geno has since told me that He warned me not to speak aloud, so as not to frighten my parents with our unusual conversations. In their defense, I was allowed to set a place for him at the table most nights! As I think about it, He never had a chair, though.

I thought of Him often, but He didn’t reappear in my life until I was about 50, when my daddy and I were discussing Spirit Guides, and he asked me if I remembered my imaginary friend, Johnny Geno. Of course I did! Daddy suggested that he might be my true Spirit Guide. Oh, wow! Was he right! He’s been in my conscious life ever since. And we grow closer each day. Johnny Geno tells me he has never lived a human lifetime, but has always been in Service only to me, not a truly common occurrence, He tells me. I realize now, of course, that He was no “imaginary” friend, although He remains “Invisible”.

People often ask me how I communicate with Him. Do I meditate, do I give “live” channelings in the same fashion as Lee Carroll does with Kryon as well as many other famous channelers, where I must “move aside”? The answer is: none of the above. The next question is generally, “How can you connect with Spirit if you don’t’ meditate? You have to meditate to ....... ” I’ve tried, oh, yes, how I’ve tried, but the answer from Johnny Geno has consistently been, “That’s not how it works for you.”

We are partners, we communicate much the same as you and I would, although not in words, but in thought patterns, mostly. These are sometimes difficult to translate. We have conversations rather than just “receiving” messages, we work together. We laugh, we joke, we argue; sometimes I get very angry when answers do not come as I think they should, when I want them, or in the way I want them, but He reminds me that Spirit knows best. He embraces me with such unbelievably pure, Unconditional Love that I continue to try to learn the nuances of communication with Spirit, to set my impatient and demanding ego aside, and just listen and feel what He has to tell me in His way and in His time.

People often ask, “Why such a silly, childlike name? No Spirt Guide can be real with such a dumb name.” Well, when I first met Him, I was about two, so that was, at least, my interpretation of what He told me His name was. Why haven’t I updated, changed it? I used to ask Him that myself; His answer is this: “You cannot pronounce the name I use on the Other Side, you have always known me as Johnny Geno, and you are comfortable with that; what does it matter what I am called, or what others may think? You know Who I am and that is all that is important; form vs. substance.”

You, my reader, also have a Spirit Guide whom you can meet and with whom you can begin to become friends. There is nothing “special” about those who have one, there is no “secret society”, no need for “advanced training”, no rules, no nothing. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise still has some learning ahead.

Your Spirit Guide is always with you, whether you believe in Spirit Guides, whether you acknowledge Him/Her or not. He/She is only waiting for you to request His/Her services. Anyone can communicate if you simply use “Pure Intent”, by which I mean your intentions must be pure, you must be willing to be completely honest with yourself and with Sprint,; this is far more difficult than most of think it may be. You must be willing to bare your soul, all of it, hiding nothing. You must also be willing to set aside your ego, those things you most dearly want to have happen or not happen, and you must allow Spirit to tell you what He/She has to say, whether you happen to like the information or not. In the final analysis, your Spirit Guide will manifest in whatever fashion works best for you if you will only invite Him/Her into your life.

And Bobby is right; you’ll not change my mind.

ABOUT ME:

This will not be your typical biography, but will really be insights about my own journey. I always knew I was “different” but I never understood much more than that. I guess you could say that the best place to begin this narrative of my journey is when I met my late husband, Jimmy, in 1985. Oh, yes, we each “lived” before that; we both have children and grandchildren from our prior marriages, and we certainly learned many, many lessons, but that’s not my purpose here, and I have people to protect. When I met Jimmy, I was “lost” in some bleary, dreary agnostic kind of place. I’d gone the traditional route with religion, but it never felt right, never “worked” for me. So much of what I’d been taught just didn’t feel right to me. I could talk to God all I wanted, but I never felt that He answered.

Jimmy and I immediately “connected” on some strange, spiritual level, which neither of us ever really understood, but fully acknowledged. We began learning lessons immediately, to say the least. It was not an easy marriage, nor an easy relationship, but it was extremely complex and extremely profound in nature. Almost immediately, I knew that God [who was still some foreign foggy Being] had put us together and was up there laughing as we worked it all out. It wasn’t all fun, and we never did completely work it out, believe me. Jimmy is the one who really introduced me to the metaphysical approach, not to religion, but to faith and trust, and he remained my strongest supporter, my best cheerleader, when the old “Doubting Thomas issues” reared its ugly head.

Our journey began when we met, but it certainly became more intense about the time I retired from teaching in 2004, which I’d done for about 38 or so years. And, ouch, did we work on it! Always the hard way for us, I might add.

We had been using the services of an outstanding kinesiologist for several years, which is where I knew I’d found the beginning of the answer to “real health” using a natural approach. I began searching the internet and everything else I could find about holistic health. I totally revamped what was already a pretty decent natural eating and healthy living approach, the beginning of the “homework” I refer to elsewhere. Sadly, Jimmy left this world for the Other Side of the Veil on August 30, 2014, never having been able to fully realize so much of his own journey. I have continued on alone.

I want you to know that I do not feel as though I’ve completed my journey. In fact, my journey and the “tests” presented to me have steepened in difficulty by huge amounts since Jimmy left this world. It’s almost as though there was life before and with Jimmy, and life afterwards. This “Spiritual Development Course”, designed by Spirt and me before I came into this lifetime, is the most difficult of anything I’ve ever encountered in my 16,000 lifetimes, but it also the most rewarding; He is a tough taskmaster, yet He always works in my Best and Highest Interests.

If you read my channeled book, Believe You Can Trust, a journey of the soul within you, you might see some parallels of my own journey in the book as well. If you haven’t read it, you might decide you want to .... You can order it by clicking on the order link. And, then again, you might decide you don’t’ want to read it. Just like this website, it’s not for everyone.

If you’re interested, I’d like to have you join me on your own journey of the soul within ......
