From Suicide Attempt to Choosing Life, Love, Channeling, Starting "The Seth House" with Oshara
What Researchers Found
The Story
Oshara was an 18-year-old woman in Phoenix, Arizona, who attempted suicide due to isolation, lack of love, and struggles with being gay in 1978. She loaded a gun, wrote a note, and placed the gun to her head, ready to pull the trigger. The room suddenly filled with intense light and overwhelming love from a powerful presence. A voice told her, 'You're a part of me, as I'm a part of you. And I need you as much as you need me.' She felt the oneness of all life and everything connected. She dropped the gun. The energy and presence lingered for three days, allowing conversations where she received affirmation that being gay was wonderful. After the experience, Oshara overcame suicidal thoughts and depression through spiritual practices like channeling. She founded the Seth House nonprofit to preserve a historic site and share spiritual teachings, gaining a sense of purpose and helping others.
