William Babcock

was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I was raised as a Presbyterian when I was young. When I was 6 months old, I had a near-death experience from falling on my head. I had a speech impairment and had difficulty with grammar and reading comprehension. I started school when I was 7 years old. I went to public schools with Special Ed for speech and learning disability. Furthermore, I excelled in math, earning A grades. I have been going to a spiritualist church since the early 70s in the Los Angeles area. Then I lived in Palm Springs for about two years and went to the Church of Religion Science there. When I moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I attended Universal Church of the Master. Later, I went to Inner Light Metaphysical Church in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, and started to take spiritual development classes, and I first received healing papers. When I moved to the San Diego area in 1982, I continued to do healings at First Christian Spiritualist Church in National City. I have taken all eight degrees of Astara Lessons. I have been a member of the First Spiritualist Church since the early 90s. Now I have Auric Healing and Reiki Healing Papers from First Spiritualist Church. I have been doing the website for the church since the mid-’90s. I was treasurer for 13 years. Whenever I visit Portland, I either go to New Era Spiritualist Church near Oregon City and other times at Unity Church in Portland, Oregon. I have some of my dream experiences, like the earthquake of San Francisco, the attempted assassination of President Regan, and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens before it happened. I even had a dream about being at Krakatoa, which I knew was going to erupt. This appears to be one of my past lives. I also lead hikes with the Walkabout group. I am a member of the “Sierra Club and the Coordinator of the“Friends of Chollas Creek.” I have volunteered monthly at Chollas Creek Open Space for cleanup and native plants restoration. As of August 2019, I have retired from Friends of Chollas Creek and First Spiritualist Church of San Diego, for which I maintained a life membership upon moving to Portland, Oregon. I moved back to Portland, Oregon, in August 2019. I am going to join Friends of Columbia Gorge.
