After his career ended, multiple arrests on DUI and domestic incidents, 3 months in jail for a parole violation, another divorce and most recently putting up his personal memorabilia for auction on eBay, he is now into "metaphysics."

\"I see life in a different perspective than I used to, in a way that's different from how most people see it,\" he said yesterday after finishing a round of golf in nearby Dunedin. \"There's so much going on that we're not really aware of. Some people are privy to this. It's spoken of in the Bible. Some people are awakened to what's taking place.
\"We only know what we can perceive with our five senses. I have been, for whatever reason, awakened to other realms that are achievable by all of us. All I want to do is try to convey to everyone what I have witnessed.
\"I don't care if people believe me or not. If people want to take and run with it, fine. If they don't, that's fine, too.\"

Daulton, 44, said he first began to realize there was more going on than meets the eye late in the 1997 season, after he'd been traded to the Florida Marlins. He recalled getting the game-winning hit, an opposite-field line drive just inside third base against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
\"That was the first time I realized it,\" he said. \"I remember coming out of the stadium and I started crying. [Nicole] said, 'What's wrong? You just got the game-winning hit.' And I said, 'I didn't hit that ball. Something happened, but it wasn't me.' \"

\"It was 4 or 5 years [after that day in Wrigley Field] that I started seeing this other dimension,\" he said. \"I saw [former Phillies manager] Lee Elia, my folks, my brother running on the beach. They were all much younger. But it was real.\"
----------
Daulton is convinced that the day of reckoning is coming soon. Specifically, on Dec. 21, 2012, at 11:11 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time, the chosen will simply vanish from this plane of existence.
\"That will be the end of this dispensation,\" he said. \"I really don't know how to explain it. I don't know what words to use so people won't think I'm goofy. But by Dec. 21, 2012 [the last day recorded on the Mayan calendar], people will have a pretty good idea. It's all about consciousness and love. We have the ability to create whatever we want. We're all made of energy.\"
