Biographical Sketch of William A. LePar

Why are some people treasure hunters and   others are not? That is the question to keep asking yourself as you learn more about William A. LePar.

LePar must be considered among the premiere spiritual treasure hunters of our era, but what he has discovered is meant to benefit all. Here, briefly, is his story:

The gift of psychic ability has been with William A. LePar since he was a small boy growing up in an ethnic working class neighborhood of Canton, Ohio. For much of his life he never understood why and, often, he wondered if it was more of a burden than a gift. Spontaneously blurting out what was about to happen incurred his family's wrath more than once, and as a child he decided he would forever bury the troublesome "sight."

Years later, when he was in his teens, he allowed his paranormal abilities to resurface. For a time, he gave readings and revealed psychic impressions at a Spiritualist Church. Occasionally, he would entertain his friends. But an extremely powerful and traumatic psychic event shocked him into once again slamming the door shut on his extrasensory talents.

LePar entered adulthood, this time staying true to the promise he made to himself. He sought to build a normal life. He went to work in one of the steel mills of his hometown, and eventually met and married Nancy, a nurse. They purchased a small farm a half-hour's drive away from their jobs and began to settle into a peaceful, rewarding life.

Yet, through all those years, uncertainties lingered within. He desperately wanted a more complete and fulfilling awareness of spiritual reality and of his reason for living. And, of course, he wondered if there was any purpose for the ability that had caused him such trouble and, if not, would it ever completely fade away.

One night at the dinner table that ability slipped under the wall he had built around it. William A. LePar was launched on his quest for the spiritual treasures that await us all. His life was changed forever.

"Oh my gosh, that's Walt!" he blurted out as the phone rang. Nancy looked at him curiously. As they courted and eventually married, William had touched lightly on the subject that he was able to sense things if he allowed himself that freedom. But he had never before given a demonstration.

It was Walt on the phone. He was an old friend from high school who had moved to the West Coast years earlier. Ironically, Walt was similarly gifted, and it was their friendship that caused LePar to let his guard down as a teen. The friendship was renewed on Walt's visit back to Canton, and the two promised to stay in touch.

Since LePar had struggled with academics in school, he was not about to torture himself and his friend by trying to write letters. He decided to use a portable recorder, to tape letters to Walt. The first time proved to be the turning point in his life.

It was his day off, and Nancy was leaving for her job as LePar settled into a lounge on the front porch with his cigarettes, coffee, recorder and cassette tapes. A few moments later the sound of her driving back down the lane aroused him, and he realized he must have dozed off. But it was not moments later. The summer afternoon was disappearing and Nancy was home from work. When she asked him what he had done all day, he could not give her an answer. He didn't know; only that he had been ready to tape a letter...

There were messages on tape, Nancy and Bill discovered, and they were able to recognize the voice as his. At the same time, however, the speech pattern and qualities were quite unusual. And the messages were, literally, out of this world.

Imagine the incredible emotional upheaval that would be created by such a bizarre occurrence. LePar and his wife had to deal with all that and more. Because it was not long before he felt overcome with a strange drowsiness and, when it was over, he found himself with another stack of tapes. Eventually, they came to learn that a union of souls from a high realm of evolvement were speaking through him -- with permission he had given them at a soul level.

That was more than 25 years ago. LePar has learned much since then, including how to control the trance states so he can schedule them in advance. The union of souls is known as The Council, and their insights into spiritual reality and humanity's place in it are meant for all. At one point not long after the trances began, LePar knew he had a choice: Continuing down the path he had started or returning to the peaceful life he had known too briefly. He has continued with the spiritual quest, and everyone can be the richer for it.
