TABLE OF CONTENTS
DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to my sons Dike and Chris, the students who encouraged me to tell it the way I perceived and experienced life so that my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will know what a magical journey I had.
To Helene and all the great teachers that came before me, not only did they make my life better, but they also changed countless lives.

AFFIRMATION
Helene liked to repeat a simple phrase whenever she lectured, wrote, or counseled people:
Let me be a channel to help people help themselves.
As she isnt here to state this phrase, may each one of us reading these words affirm her prayer.

FOREWORD
Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
Helene Hadsells life was an adventure that she wanted to share with everyone. It began when she was six years old and had her first encounter with spirit. As Helene grew, so did her connection to the Universe, along with her studies into other realms and mysticism. Her path crossed with many teachers familiar to us all, and she enjoyed a 30-year friendship with Jos Silva.
Helenes desire to teach others about different dimensions, spirit guides, and all the adventures that life has to offer inspired her to write this book. Now, with this republished volume, you can join Helene each morning at breakfast as she taps into her intuition and chooses an engrossing tale to tell us all.
Helene was a marvel and never stopped writing. It took her over a year to complete this book. If you are an avid reader of Helenes work, you may also notice a few stories that sound familiar. Helene pulled stories from In Contact With Other Realms to put into this new volume, as it was out of print at that time. Plus, she was also replicating Dr. Joseph Murphys teaching technique of repeating stories to reinforce the lesson. Helene also included new stories, some of which had never been told before.
In 2008 I was lucky enough to spend four days with this vibrant, remarkable teacher. It was on that trip Helene gifted me a copy of this book. It was during that same visit that she also suggested I start teaching others what she had been sharing for decades. Helene didnt see herself continuing to teach due to her advancing age. Yet, she didnt want her message to pass with her. A decade passed before I finally stopped holding the gauntlet she had given me and started republishing her works. Ive experienced nothing but blessings from doing so, and I hope you feel the same by learning from Helene.
It is important that I maintain the integrity of Helenes work, and therefore I have only made minor adjustments in this edition. This book has been reformatted for current publishing methods (Amazon, Kindle, Kobo, Google Books, and Apple Books). Ive added notes where required, as well as a Recommended Reading section at the end, so you may continue to learn and grow.
In the paperback edition, I was able to make it easy for you to distinguish Helene's words from mine by using two noticeably different fonts. With ebooks, the reader can alter the font, sizing, etc. and I am unable to offer you the same luxury. However, Helene's 'voice' is very distinctive and I am sure you will easily discern her prose from mine.
Just like Helene, it is my hope you take her wisdom to heart and create your own DARING ADVENTURE in life.

INTRODUCTION
An odyssey. A journey into other realms in search of answers. That describes Helene Daschel Hadsell's life. She has lived with the philosophy that life is either an exciting adventure, or it's nothing.
This remarkable woman sprang from what one might consider unremarkable beginnings. Born in the small town of Aberdeen, South Dakota, Helene was the second child of George and Katherine Daschel. George was of Russian descent, Catherine of German, and they lived in the midst of the Aberdeen German/Catholic community.
Perhaps even at a very young age, Helene realized that she was different. At least at the age of five, when she had her first experience at journeying amongst those other realms, she knew, even if she didn't understand, that she had a gift few people had been given.
A sought-after speaker, Helene has given seminars on the spirit connection, mind control, positive thinking throughout the United States, but Europe and South America as well.
She is an author with several bestselling books to her credit, among them the treasured The Name It & Claim It Game outlining how she has, through positive action, won almost every contest she's ever entered, including winning a beautiful new home in Irving, Texas.
And finally, she is undertaken to let the world know and to help them understand the wonderful journey she has had through her ability to visit with those other spiritual realms.
