Events began to unfold in the life of the young Doreen that marked her out for an altogether different path to follow than that of her friends. At seven years old she became fascinated by the motion of the moon and often used to gaze at it from her parents garden. She soon had her first spiritual experience:
“I saw what people would call the world of everyday
reality as unreal and saw behind it something that was real
and very potent….I saw the world of force behind the world of form.”
This early mystical experience left the young girl in wonder at the true nature of existence and at this point she drew nearer and nearer to the realm of the spiritual:
“Just for a moment I had experienced what was
beyond the physical. It was beautiful, wonderful,
it wasn’t frightening. That, I think, shaped my life a lot.”
