INTRODUCTION
My name, William Christopher Jordan, means “A Wish, Bearing Christ, Flowing Down.” In December 2009, I was practically forced to leave my job for 3.5 years. Around the same time, a strange image resembling the Star of David appeared in the heavens. It was labeled Asteroid P2010 A2.
P/2010 A2 had been discovered on January 6, 2010, by Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research. It appeared to have reached its closest approach to the Sun around the start of December 2009, about a month before it was discovered. This was around the same time that I had left my job.
After spending December 2009 and January 2010 contemplating my next move, I decided to step out in faith and take a year off to embark on a spiritual journey.
My journey was inspired by Kabbalah’s The 72 Names of God meditation/divination tools. I meditated on one card daily, starting with the first meditation, “Time Travel.” I spent 72 consecutive days traveling across the United States, documenting various experiences after each meditation.

My main goal while on this journey was to post a survey and ask other people the following questions:
1) Do you believe in God? If so, based on which religion or spiritual practice? If not, why?
2) Was this belief something you discovered yourself, or were you taught to believe this as a young child?
3) What do you feel is the purpose of life on earth?
4) What are you most passionate about, and what do you wish to accomplish with your life?
5) What are your biggest challenges in life?
While on this journey, I prayed to my God, Jesus Christ, and asked that he please reveal himself to me in a photograph sometime during my trip. I did not inform anyone of my secret request while on this journey.
I had never been the type of person to subscribe to any one religion or spiritual practice; I had always believed that there was something positive and valuable in all things spiritual. I was a massive believer in Universal Consciousness and Unconditional Love.
During my journey, I kept a journal of the places I visited and the people I met. I also allowed people to freely express their belief, or non-belief, in God. I kept an open mind and allowed circumstances to lead me in whatever direction they unfolded. My only agenda was to reach my hometown of Burlington, North Carolina, on Day 72 of my journey.
For those who responded to my survey, I created a personal analysis, or what I like to call The Book Of Your Life eBook. I published each participant’s responses and was completely fascinated to discover that each answer closely resembled their blueprint.
February 16, 2010
This morning, I drove from Portland, Oregon, to Lincoln City and spent my first night in the Chinook Winds Casino Resort parking lot. I arrived in Lincoln City just as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
It was a chilly night but very safe and mostly quiet. My journey began the following morning.
