About Old

Fred B. Laux

Fred B. Laux was born and raised in Nebraska. He was a practicing lawyer, served in World War II in the South Pacific Theatre, and loved his family. He was known as a son, brother, husband, and friend to all, yet to me, he was the father I never knew, as he passed away when I was two-years old.

His physical life on Earth ended in 1961, but he found a way to connect with me decades later via a mobile device.

Fred wants to share his astral knowledge with our world in the hopes of bringing about a more peaceful and loving existence for all.

"Remember that you must regard the universe as one living being. All things have reference to this. We are all connected, both good and bad, weak and strong."

Be the Railing & Create a Better World

People ask me what the story is behind “Be the Railing." It comes from a thought my father shared with me on one of my early morning walks. I find that being outside in nature during the predawn darkness settles my restless mind and brings me to a quiet space in which I can see, feel, and hear beyond what I experience in our usual day, where distractions are everywhere, determined to clutter my mind.

During one of my usual walks, my father asked me to sit on a bench by the playground within the park.

“What do you see?” he asked me.
I replied, “It’s one of those playground gyms with things to climb on, ladders, and a slide or two.”

“What else do you see?”
“Well, there are steps with an assortment of railings.”

“Tell me more about the railings.”
“They are there to help, if needed. Some may use them as they make their way up to the top of the gym, or they may not use them at all. Using a railing is a choice one can make. Railings don’t force themselves on anyone, yet they are always available—waiting to be the assistance.”

“Be the railing,” he replied.

It made perfect sense. These simple structures were always there in their quiet and subtle stillness. They were never required and always a choice by the user. I found them to be a great help when trying out strength and balance exercises, and unnecessary when challenging myself to see how fast I could get up the steps.

My father loved sharing thoughts through examples, stories, and any other way possible. He also told me our website would be named “be the railing” and our book titled, A Series of Moments: Life Now and After.

He showed me an image of the book. Getting all of this together and out to share is now my life’s purpose.
What was shared with me is meant for you as well!

Therese Laux & Laura Dugan

An unlikely and not so usual messenger, Therese has accepted her father's request to share with others all he has communicated to her. From wondering how to even talk about this incredible gift to presenting to live audiences, Therese understands the value and comfort her father's messages will bring people.

Laura had been gifted in this life with extra abilities. Being burdened by asthma and other health issues throughout her life contributed to her developing skills and talents that went beyond what one could see or touch. She was intuitive, psychic, and a medium. She did not always enjoy her father-in-law hijacking her instrument, as Fred would say, yet she recognized the incredible gift and importance of his messages.
