Savuth Penn

I was born as a Buddhist, but I stopped believe in religion in 1975 after the communist government executed my father in my presence. When I came to America in 1980, I decided to be an Engineer. I recieved my electrical engineering degree in 1988. I thought I made it with this degree and my life would be a happy one. However, there was something missing in my life. I was not happy. In 1997, I found God, a Christian God. So, I went to the churches searching for God. I was baptized four times as each church claimed to be the true church of God. I was not happy with any churches. So, I kept on searching. I went back to buddhism and then Islam…I found only partial PEACE within each religions. Then, I turned inward. I thought God must be within me. In spring of 2006, I read about what I could learn from hypnosis. It said that I could be connected to my loved one or other beings in the spirit realm through hypnosis. During this session, I journeyed through three levels. The first level, I encountered a wise man who said he would led me to the true knowledge. The second level, I encountered various colored light beings where I met my earthly father who was executed in 1975. The third level, I met the Creator.

In October 2009, I discovered a book called “The Urantia Book”. I found the book while searching the internet about “The God Truths”. This book answered all the questions that I had as a result of my hypnosis session in 2006, as well as many, many others that I never ever conceived of asking. As of today, the Urantia Book has satisfied most of my spiritual and material curiosities and hunger. I have found happiness. My next goal and desire are to ascend to Paradise and meet the Father, face-to-face in my perfected body, state or being , which would mean I have found true happiness.

  1. Your story sounds like an amazing journey Savuth. I am happy you have found what you were looking for after all these years and I am happy to have met you, even if only the internet. Perhaps are paths will cross in person and we can share a study session or some good conversation. Much love to you my brother! 🙂

  2. Hi Josh!

    Thank you for the comments. I can’t wait to read your journey as well. All journey lead to our Father in Paradise through our Creator Son, Jesus. Some journey is straight and some is not like mine. I was kind of lost for a while, but I knew I wanted to find God. I did not know how to go about to find Him until I found the Urantia Book. Now I found a map book. I am still wnated to reach Hum, but now I know where He is and how I go about to reach Him. It’s going to a long and amazing journey ahead. I am very sure, Josh, our paths will cross and we’ll have a conversation as well as a hug as we journey inward to meet our Father in Paradise.

    Love,
    Savuth

  3. Dear Savuth,

    What country to come from? Your story is beyond grasp for most of us in the US, especially watching your father being killed.

    It is great to hear that you have found peace and found God. What a journey. I look forward to meeting you one day too.

  4. Hello Cristina!

    I came from Cambodia, a small and poor country in Southeast Asia. Thank you for the comments and I also am looking forward to meeting you someday.

    Below is a short story I would like to share with you. It is a sad story, full of trial tribulation. I called it “My Physical Journey on Urantia”.

    I believe the best way for me to talk about my life experience in Cambodia and in America is in chronological order which I will group by years. There are three periods that I will cover in my story:

    1) From my birth in 1962 to early 1975, my life was relatively peaceful and calm.

    2)From April 1975 to mid 1980, my life was in turmoil. I will concentrate on this period the most since it had the most impact on my life.

    3)From September 1980 to present, my life was relatively peaceful again, but I still had to face many challenges.

    From my birth in 1962 to early 1975, my life was relatively peaceful and calm. I went to school and had food to eat. There was no major event in my life except that I rarely saw my parents. Both of my parents served in the military. There was war going on in the country, but it did not impact me very much. That was about to change though after the war.

    From April 1975 to mid 1980, my young life turned upside down when I was just about 12 or 13 years old. It began immediately after the war was over when we thought that peace would be realized at last. Within two weeks after the end of the war, my father was shipped along with other military officers to a remote location for mass execution. Fortunately, he didn’t get killed. He came back home with a wounded arm. About three months later, they found him and executed him again. This time, it was in my presence. This part of my experience is hard to talk about, but I wrote it in a book called Children of Cambodia’s Killing Fields.

    Before I move on to my life experience in America which I thought was like heaven, I would like to add some details about my life in hell in Cambodia from 1975 to 1980. During that period, I was sent to work in the rice fields without adequate food and housing. We worked 16 hours a day seven days a week. I was almost starved to death. There was also no schooling. The only things that I learned was the feeling of hatred and revenge for my father and sisters’ death. In late 1979 and early 1980, the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia driving the communist government out to the countryside. My family of 10 members which had reduced to seven, returned home. I became the head of the household at 17 years of age. I had to support my mother, sisters and brothers. The only job that was available to me at the time was to climb palm trees and collect sweet juice to make into sugar. That was how my family survived for about a year. Then the price of sugar dropped and I was no longer able to support my family. I went to the Cambodian and Thai border to look for a new job. The fighting between the freedom fighters and the Vietnamese army at the border pushed me into the Thai refugee camp. Three months later, I ended up on American soil.

    From September 1980 to present, I have been living in the United States. It was very hard at first, but I expected nothing from America. I accepted whatever America offered me which turned out more than I expected. When I first arrived in America, I had nothing. I mean really nothing; no money, no education and knew nothing about the English language. One decision that I made that changed the course of my life was to go to school and the determination to stay in school. I spent my first eight years in school while in America. In 1988, I received my degree in Electrical Engineering. My belief in education pulled me out of poverty. I am very happy to call America my second home, but I also have had many challenges while living here. I was married in 1989 and have three children. Unfortunately, I got divorced in 2006. Overall though, there are many good things that have happened in my life. All the negative things that happened to me made me a stronger person with a tremendous appreciation for life in general.
