to experience a spiritual experience twice in a lifetime is, I believe something of a tremendous undertaking and, in my case quite remarkable late last night I received my second one it quite astounded me it was as though I was privy to age-old secrets I felt wisdom entering my body through my mind this wisdom, late at night rejuvenated my whole being thought processing of the mind my physical body was even transformed I was slightly in shock to say the least my whole being was transformed and quite mesmerized so much so I went to bed contended without taking my nightly medicine slept like the dead through the night waking up feeling absolutely wonderful it is hard for me to even try to explain but suffice it to say and to use a very old phrase I felt like I was reborn not a religious experience far from it I hate to say it fearing the hoots and jeers but to me when I awoke I lay there for a long time trying to get a handle on my encounter with . . . my future self as I lay there remembering what had happened to me last night and . . . here it comes . . . ahhh . . . somehow I understood that I was trying to talk to me from across centuries maybe where I’d been reborn or reincarnated filling me with gained wisdom enough so that it made my old self feel young again even put enough insightful understanding into this old brain of mine giving me clear headedness to cease and desist my old ways and travel through the rest of my life knowing my path is my path to walk as I want but to accept the warmth and understanding if my new way of thinking this was difficult for me to write but I have done my best ©October 9, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

How exciting Jerry! You keep having these wonderful experiences. Life still has gifts for you. And you sir are in a position to see the gifts and appreciate them-that is a blessing in itself. Do not be bashful about these great things, I think you are a blessed man. ~L |

Eh . . . It was a tough way to go, Ida, but things worked out okay in the long run, I think. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

My wonderful journey had some very rough edges, Alana, as many people do, but I weathered it to live to be as old as I am. Thank you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
