I used it for the rest of my career because the openness is what I used.
It opened me up at the time, and I discovered that I had this ability to just be in that moment. The exercise is just called an emotional recall, and I had picked my grandfather because I'd never really explored what it meant to me except for the one time I cried when I was a young man when I was 12, which was when he died. So in doing the emotional recall, Gene actually asked me, he said,
Who are you dealing with? And I said, it was my grandfather. And that's when he said, tell him you love him. And I'd never told him. It was an amazing outpouring of emotion, which just became a tool in a weird way. It was like integrated instantly. It was programmed into me. I could then loan that part of me to almost anything in any situation. I wouldn't have to pick another situation.
It would be like that muscle was open now, exercised.
Yeah, I got seven kids. My kids are fascinating. What's funny about being a parent and having been through what happened to my sister and stuff like that, without trying to mark them with it, I'm very cautious about what I project onto my kids, but I do project sometimes a fear, a fear for their well-being that is semi-irrational, but it is programmed based upon what I've experienced.
And I find myself having these paranoid fantasies, I call them, but they aren't particularly constructive. And I do my best. My wife will say, wipe them off. Just wipe that off. And so I try to do that. But yeah, I just care for them so deeply and hope that they are not visited with the same kind of torment and pain.
It's interesting. I've integrated a lot with the mediums and mediumship and spiritualists and all sorts of stuff.
Yeah. I produced a show called Medium Years Ago, which is very popular. But it was pretty much an outcropping of my desire to find out more stuff from that part of the existence, whatever we might call it. And so I've had a relationship traffic with different mediums throughout my lifetime. And sometimes they would bring around Karen or they'd mention something and
I was always a bit askance with it because I thought, do they know about it? Do they historically know about it? Are they really channeling their sister? Is this real? And there's ways to start telling when you're in a sitting if it's really a blind sitting or not, if they've done some research. And it's hard if they've done research for them to really be honest.
But some folks, and I had a great pal who was a psychometrist. She would hold something and get things out of it. And she said once, if I'm sitting there saying, hi, there's a Will here, a Will, I think, Will, and you're sitting there saying, oh, yeah, it's William in my head, and you're not telling me, then you're being a jerk.
But if I'm like 70% there, that's pretty high. And that's what my standard became was if somebody is about 70%, that's extraordinary if they don't know you. That's amazing. And so I've had a few remarkable things like that. And this one woman, Esther, that I was dealing with in the middle of a reading that was constructed by a friend who said, oh, you should maybe talk with Esther.
She's really good with things. Okay. Okay. So we scheduled a meeting, and it was a phone session. And she says, oh, your sister's here. She wants you to tell her story. I thought, wow. Because she didn't know what the story was at the time. And she says, oh. And then she drifted off a bit and said, oh, yeah. She says, tell her story. So that was what generated the idea.
After so long, and of course, I've spoken to Karen before, and some of the aftermath of dealing with the tragedy and trying to live on and go on and carry her at the same time. But I never really looked at it through her story. And I thought, that's pretty interesting. How am I going to do that? So I sat down a couple months later, finally, and I started to write some notes.
And I wrote about eight or nine pages of stuff, and I thought, oh, I guess I'm writing a book. So that's what it was. Wow. Yeah, it's 50 years later, and I think, you know, if what I'm selling is true, and I think it is, Karen wanted me to unburden this, finally, to be lighter.
Yeah, she was abducted and then murdered, raped and murdered, on July 1st, 1975. And... I think she was with them for about four hours and then was murdered. But I was fairly graphic in the description of what I got from the police report.
I wanted to share some of it with people to have them understand what it was to experience because I wanted to make sure that everything was honest, everything was true. And as I started to write the book, the relationship between me and the reader was felt like I was taking a friend through this with me. And that sort of defined it all.
At one point in the book, about maybe 60 pages in, I think, I actually wrote a letter to the reader and said, thank you for being here. I've got you now and take this journey with me if you like. You can stop too. I've always wanted people to feel free that they didn't have to continue. But it was a really emotional journey for me.
And it was given more value because I started to realize there are other people who have experienced the same thing. Those of us who share an experience that maybe I can bring some relief to in the fact that I'm finding relief as well and not to carry so much of it. We did struggle for years with guilt about it and grief. That I wasn't there, that I couldn't stop it. And I think we all do that.
We've lost people tragically. It's almost an absurdity, but there's this muscle in us that says, wait a minute, you should have stopped this. You were her older brother. It was a definitive relationship. Yeah, I'm supposed to take care of you.
And it doesn't need rational thinking to exist. It is simply how you feel. It's to be dealt with.
