Kurt
says, "I always knew there was something unusual about me, but I
never knew what it was until I was twenty-nine years
old. In my family, seeing was believing.
Anything else was considered to be hocus pocus
nonsense. So as a child, my survival method was to
hide my gift. I even hid it from myself."
Kurt
explained that his awakening took about three years and started in
1975 in a very remote part of Iraq. At that time, he was a
highly skilled, professional engineer supervising the placement of extremely heavy, electrical-power-generating turbines onto a power
station's already prepared foundation settings. One of his
co-workers, Lothar, was involved in an accident which broke his
ankle. For three reasons, improvising was the order for the
moment. First, because there was no doctor around,
second, because of the location's remoteness, and third, the country's
poor communication and transportation system would require a three day
effort to evacuate him.
Kurt,
being highly resourceful, took out his secret, smuggled in, stash
of Johnny Walker whiskey and said, "Here, drink this while I build
you a temporary cast." By the time the cast was made,
Lothar was thoroughly drunk and Kurt had had more than a couple of swigs
from the bottle, himself. As he was about to apply the
cast, Kurt said, "You'd better let me straighten your leg out
before I put the cast on." Lothar was too drunk to say
anything but, "OK." Kurt took hold of Lothar's
leg, held it for a moment and then gave it a strong
pull. A resounding crunch was heard followed immediately by
loud yelp of pain from Lothar. Kurt, later said, "I
don't know why, but I simply sat there holding Lothar's leg for about
another fifteen minutes." Lothar soon laid
back and began breathing much more easily. Kurt, assuming
the whiskey was doing its job, then proceeded to apply the temporary
cast.
For
the next two days, Lothar appeared too relaxed and peaceful for a man
with a broken leg, but Kurt didn't ask why and Lothar didn't
volunteer the information that he was no longer feeling pain in his
leg. On the Third day, Lothar was finally
evacuated. He was flown to Frankfurt , Germany
and taken to Mannheim Hospital.
Kurt
re-focused on his work and didn't give the incident any further
thought, but those around him didn't forget. They
began calling him "The Desert Doctor."
Why? Because when someone had a body pain from the heavy
work they were doing, they'd come to Kurt. Kurt would
put his hands on them, and they'd soon go away feeling much
better. When he left for another assignment, Kurt forgot
about Iraq, he forgot about the dangers and the uncomfortable
circumstances, and also he forgot about the energy that naturally
flowed out of his hands.
About
three years later, when Kurt was back in Germany, he received a call
from Lothar. Lothar said, "Can you come over and put your
hands on my wife." Kurt, having forgotten about his
ability to relieve pain by simply holding his hands on or near a
person's body, responded with, "What! You can't do that
yourself?" At this point, Lothar laughed and revealed
the previously uncommunicated information. He said,
"I want you to relieve my wife's pain from her migraine
headaches. You know, just like you relieved my pain in Iraq
after I'd broken my leg."
Kurt
was taken aback and said, "Are you sure I was helping
you. You were drunk! How could you remember
anything like that?" Then another piece of new information came
into Kurt's awareness. Lothar said, "When I arrived at
Mannheim hospital, the doctor said to me, 'You must have had a highly skilled doctor reset your ankle bones because there's absolutely
nothing for me to do but apply a real cast to your leg'."
Kurt,
with raised eyebrows and questioning voice responded,
"OK, if you insist, I'll put my hands on your wife, but only on
her head." The following weekend, after a two-hundred
and eighty mile drive, Kurt arrived
at Lothar's home. After a brief reunion with Lothar, Kurt placed his hand
around Maria's head, and in
about fifteen minutes, she reported that the pain, which had persisted for
three and a half years, was completely gone. Kurt later said, "Maria
was shocked and began dancing around. I didn't do any
dancing but I was far more shocked than she was
was. It was at that point, while watching her dance
that I clearly remembered what I had done three years ago in
Iraq."
