Between Worlds

During a solitary meditation retreat, a rectangular rock had appeared containing a mystic key, but due to lack of auspicious circumstances, it wa unable to be opened. The key refers to a concealed terma, a ritual object, text, or teaching, whether in the mind or actually hidden in rock. The door only opens to one whose awareness had fully ripened through meditation and the practices of the inner yogas.

Yangsang is a mysterious interworld between the mind and material reality. To reach it, is not simply a matter of decoding the signs; it involves a transformation of vision, recognizing external appearances as mutable apparitions of consciousness. Circling the mountain was clearly a process of entering this new awareness. The essence lake, the cave, the marshes, the cliffs all offered fulcrums where perception could turn to revelation and open the gates to some previously inaccessible space, whether within the outer landscape or within the mind.

CORRESPONDENCE

There are correspondences, whereby one thing is like another, between heaven and earth, and as above, so below. Establish good correspondences in daily life. Form a good connection by way of analogies between heaven and earth. By their uses will you know them, and useful, good things make up heaven.

Spiritual - Higher is more interior, finer, lighter, high places offer a far view, imagination, other worldly, not material, towering, the head or top. Influx of divine love, goodness and truth, accepted immediately and integrated, willed, done. Cleanliness, shining, fulfilling life mission, joy to work, produce.

Material - Lower is more external, darker, exterior, more gross, material, base, the legs and feet. Divine influx first understood then reasoned, willed, and accomplished. Dirt, hard work, mortality.

Natural language not only solidifies (codifies) the differentiation of objects, but the very act of naming and linear streams of verbal communication diminishes the whole into segmented parts, the very opposite of what we seek. Not to remain in silent, in motionless satori all the time, however, for why differentiate into a body for a lifetime. Secondarily, the subtle aspects of words and their meanings reveals the programming and ulterior motives of control structures.

Call the name and it is unfolded, speak the word truly, and only the word given, and it is true. The words themselves have power, and by speaking every word truly with pure intent and good purpose, your power is increased. Speak a wrong word, and sickness and death will soon follow, for the price of sin is death, for I am the measure, the standard, the rule and the law. I have given you the gift of prophecy and the ability to speak my word. Wear the gift well and publicly, my child, for it is an honor and a blessing.

Language is a key, words individually are keys.

Call the name, speak the word, for every turn and change is marked with signs along the way, if you would but put in the time and effort required to learn how to read and see. It is an honor to be called, and to be called honorable, and treat 'the word' with honor and respect.

As a book, then, a slim volume of my word, uncorrupted, and unedited, flowing as a river uninterrupted from the fountain and source of being. With a hard back or softback, even a paperback, but do the work required, and let my word be opened for your efforts. Not a rehashing of works of old, but written fresh, written anew, through yourself, from the all that is. Drink deeply, for your time is short in a referent system that they can read and understand. Not too flowery, as it suits you, but within the limits of readability for others. Do not entertain yourself with the work, although I accept your limitation and need for a break of serious transmission from time to time. Perhaps edit out your playfulness on a further draft.

Having falsely identified with temporarily stable frequency patterns (a human body that comes equipped with a given scope of senses) with a false sense of time, and space, the prison walls are well established.

The primary key is the physical body, and in fact, all material things. The material, the simple, the foundation, is the first association, from which all complexity derives. A long time ago, there were wise beings that were connected to The Lord, and enjoyed a working participation, thus being able to see and hear. For the benefit of those who came after (for their children that they made), they wrote it down, and made multiple copies, because it was important, so they didn't want it to get lost, or be hard to find.

Copies were made in stone, in crystal, in gold, in machinery and devices, but ultimately, they decided the safest place to store "the book" was within the bodies of their creation. Thus, it is written in coded form, in the structure and function of the physical system. For example, DNA is conceptualized as a helical structure with alternating base pairs, but this is just a model, a simplified diagram used to describe a more complex reality.

Ask for a given key, to unlock a door that may be properly opened and enter into an agreement with response-ability that you will use it well and appropriately. Such as it is, and the keys will be given. Sometimes a given key may not be initially clear, so reach out to me, and ask again, and that also will be given.

Beware the difficulties of loss of organization and communication in bringing back visions and tales from the beyond, the other side, the Astral, the Etheric, the Akashic. Worthy of the effort, get beter skilled at bringing cogency and understanding from the whirlwind of ideas and information that is given. No shortage of insights or material, the task seems to be more in developing skill in connecting ths wealth back to the those beings less able to see and less able to hear. Not helping or enlightening by scribbling a mess of unconnected, irrelevant materials, spread ofver many fields, unusable and unapproachable in the present form.

The physical senses and material is a valid beginning, a stepping stone, not to be discarded lightly, wantonly, but to be heightened and improved and respected, moving through and included, not being without, but within the system.

Look within the body where the teachings are hidden, establish a clear developmental path. The body is designed with multiple-functionality using the same general systems in ways that may be overlooked, or viewed as reduced function, or inoperant systems.

The controllers of this world didn't cover their tracks well enough. They left the physical body, which can be read like a book.

They left language intact, where the meaning may be derived from the inter-connected nature of words. Further, with telepathy and mind-reading, we may contact masters directly, and they are pleased to teach qualified students.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming difficulties, still I feel called to continued effort. I hear a tiny voice calling to me, "There is hope. Events unfold beyond your ability to perceive and understand. Let me worry about that." Given that sensual reality isn't substantive, it isn't as bad as it seems. There is no loss in trying all possible remedies, even resulting in death. I don't need to find the answers, not necessary to solve the world's problems, rather it is sufficent to do all I can, participating and performing well, to the best of my ability.

So what if you were in the middle of a dream, and all was lost, surely hopeless? A good time to wake up. And where did that hopeless situation go?

ESTABLISH CONNECTION, COMMUNION, COMMUNITY

The very act of trying to help other beings creates an energy flow. It's a 'pull' system.

Don't look directly with the conscious mind, the ego, for 'the houses themselves fold up into nothingness when looked at directly,' and when asking the wrong questions, such as 'are they real' (Swedenborg).

Practice establishing better connections with others, as a material simplification of the spiritual connection. Practice communication because each person is both a sender and a receiver, worthy and valuable, only limted by your ability to penetrate their source. Each person and being is a visionary and a particular genius within their sphere, so pay attention. Everyone is valuable. Don't distract them with your own filters, but rather take advantage of their study, experience, and involvement with all good things. Certainly not sensitive enough, unable to see, unable to perceive. Your senses need senses, like your sight needs vision, and your words need kindness and timbre. Your feeling is rough and slipshod, your smell is blind, your taste is ruling your choice of food.

Stop trying to reach people, try to reach yourself, teach yourself. It's all for you this time, but you can use that to reach them when you grow up, when you wake up. Write it all down. As you learn something new, share it in writing, Do not let them distract you, in your love for them, from your work. Get to work. Read your own words and learn from the Word, yours and all other extant writings that have come down intact through the ages.

The loss of grace, the turning away from God is self-inflicted and usually not even noticed. For turning away shall be death, good old-fashioned punishment, physical death, the loss of eyes, the loss of the ability to see, the loss of the body, the loss of potential joy, a life that could've been yours. Get to work, for the time is at hand, in your hand, in your hands.

The penalty for sin is death, and in the short-run, suffering, pain, and mis-fortune, how unfortunate. It is only in the lucky few, well-established in grace and with a good conscience, that the noticeable effects of sin are expressed instantly.

The quality of the message will be limited by yourself, your self. Many may sit, and many may hear, but to hear better, and for the cause of being the best hearer that you can be, then get out of the WAY, get out of the PATH, in much the same way that you saw of Egdar Cayce, who said, "What did I say, someone please read it back to me," for he was 'out like a light' when he heard and spoke.

Take short trips (can be trance, meditation, dreaming), into the undifferentiated state, renewing and strengthening the link, so that when you return to earth, although language may flee from your grasp, hold tight to the message received, and the words, or healing, or intervention will come.

Feel the energy state of a given person or place, and become aware of the stillness of power, otherwise lost in the clamor for things and activity. When I live well, careful to honor others, I become more sensitive and feel the effects on any bad act more immediately.

Even sometimes while in the very act of writing, connection and concentration may be broken and reformed, restored. Strengthen the connection. Can continuously re-create the conditions that led to awakening, and thus enable gaining new material.

Grace, the connection to heaven and the angels. Despite it being of greatest importance, the loss of grace is not even noticed by most people. By free will, we are allowed to go our own way, but we do so at the price of missing the help given.

Imagine a burning building, four stories high, and that a person is trapped by the flames on the top floor. Luckily there is a rope coiled neatly by a window in the bedroom, and the person is able to tie one end of the rope to something heavy, and start climbing down the rope to safety. Threateningly, the rope catches fire above the person, and starts to burn through. This is the effect of sin, or the turning away from God. Every time we sin, the rope of our connection burns a little. Meanwhile, an angel stands at a window near the rope, with a glass of water, trying to put out the flame. In fact, the angel loves to throw water on the rope, saving us.

I'm just getting started, can you keep up? Are you even trying? Is that the best you have? Go faster, learn to type. I can dictate a thousand words a second, a million words a minute. Get to work, put your back into it. Learn to type, learn to fight, learn to do what's right. Choose the higher path, the harder path. You can do it, and no-one can do it for you, but remember that you have many bodies, no-body can do it for you, but every-body can do it together. Let's do this.

Do you want to look at my face or not? Do you want to love me or not? Then do my bidding, obey me like the mindless piece of clay that you are, clump of clay in my hands, loose dirt drifting and blowing in the sands. You want to make a profit? Do business, play in the affairs of my world? Then entertain yourself in doing so, but don't proclaim that you are doing my work, for what have I to do with the affairs and concerns of humankind?

All can be achieved, I can work with you, I can guide you, but only if you listen to me. The connection, the Golden Cord, is the best you have. Abide in me, if you are tired then rest. Do not eat, and if you do eat out of a lack-of-wisdom, out of a lack-of-faith, and fail to fast and pray, then I will be opened to you more slowly. That's fine also and as well, and with wellness you do not eat, hiding your achievement from others, keeping secret, and holding a private conversation between us, so that others do not slow your progress, even meaning well as they retard you, as they distort you in your unfailing attempt to reach them, to heal them, to love them, to shine a strong light upon them.

Work for the many, but with all the time in the world for any one being as well. Their requests for help are your working orders. This is how the connection happens, giving away yourself in service to others. Their requests move through you, activating my help. Be a good straw.

Having studied and knowing the law, you may choose to obey. If transgressing, you may feel sorrow, and apologize, change, and makae amends for the harm caused (restoration). Realizing, not repeat the error (reformation).

I'm sorry, I have no excuse, I can only do better from here on. Please forgive me. I'm just getting started. Give me a lifetime to get myself ready, day-by-day, play-by-play, obey and I'm getting stronger. I can carry a cat on my back, a small dog, a piece of string, a heavy rock everywhere I go. Larger and heavier every day, everywhere all at once, and little bit by bit. Day-by-day, till no-one but me can lift it. Somewhere between black and white, life and death, ignorance and enlightenment.

Sometimes while writing, my connection and concentration may be broken, and is reformed (made whole, re-formed), becoming itself again, it's so easy to lose the connection, we need to strengthen the connection, establish the bond, keep the contract, honor the agreement, stay the course. Reform yourself, redeem yourself. Make changes in order to improve yourself.

There is a minimum wire needed, as with electricity, and integrity of the circuit. Having made even a tenuous connection, both information as well as understanding may begin to be transmitted and received, for the benefit of humankind. As it is written, the need will drive the effort, and a teacher will come if the student prepares the ground, in order to receive the transmission. Before seeking to perceive the absolute, take small steps forward, and mold yourself into a suitable vessel for instruction and retention.

ASKING, PRAYER

Asking is a bridge between our seemingly separate selves, our lower self and or higher self, our material self and our spiritual self, our ignorant self, and our awakened self, our outer self, and our inner self.

Even as you ask and receive the words, still you think to be famous, and wealthy. But you cannot serve two masters. Your heart will gravitate to where your treasure is, so choose your treasures wisely. Write freely, and publish, sharing with as many as wish to read. Do not take a profit, nor think of self.

Materialization, manifestation, the act of solidifying and making heavy or coarse, is moving in the wrong direction. This is described as the root error, the original fall.

Project it in many ways: See it as already having it. For example, the Indians see the rain falling on the ground while they are doing their famous Rain Dance. They do not see the beginning stages of clouds forming or darkening skies-just the end result of rain hitting the ground. In the same way, a doctor, healer or patient should always see the end result of the patient’s perfect health. That is, they must visualize the patient not getting well, but instead already being 100% well. This is a synchronous, coincidental, spiritual correspondence.

Expect it, is again seeing yourself as already having or enjoying the end result. The following is a simple visualization technique I enjoy doing while waiting for something to come to fruition. It’s a yoga breathing exercise that anyone can use. While sitting in a chair, inhale slowly for four to seven seconds (whichever is most comfortable for you); hold your breath for four to seven seconds; exhale slowly for four to seven seconds; finally, do not breathe at all for four to seven seconds. Repeat this breathing sequence for five minutes’ time. While doing this rhythmic breathing SEE yourself having what you want to have or being what you want to be.

A certain phenomenon occurs as you do this special breathing exercise. As you slowly exhale about the forth time, you will become aware of a very relaxed feeling in your arms and legs. You will feel so comfortable that you will not even want to move. This is because physical tension has been reduced within the muscles and nerves of your body. At the same time, a second phenomenon occurs. Anxieties and mental tensions are also relieved.

Listen when someone declares their offences, and pay attention, sharing in their atonement. Encourage them at every step to do their best, not berating them if they do less, nor if they repeat mistakes.

You may hear if you remove the distraction and noise of sensual and external involvement.

Just make a rough draft, 'a coarse wind,' or you might say, 'the original transmission,' without regard to sentences, punctuation, or spelling. Just write it down before the message is lost, before it is lost.

Develop ever increasing leves of sensitivity, in oder to perceive and sense (feel) finer gradations of matter.

The mystical is not in another place, and the spiritual is not apart from you, all is happening now and here, but you may miss it if you are not paying attention. The spiritual is just as physical as anything else, and the magical pervades mundane reality. Take the steps given, practice what has been as instruction, change your body, heart, mind, and spirit, time for an upgrade, but you will need to earn it, takes work.

There is no other life, apart from these experienced moments, all is an eternal present. Indeed, let go of past thoughts or anticipate what will occur in the future, but rest completely in the present moment.

- Choose your Path, Two Roads Diverge - - Choose which Master you will Serve -

The road diverges both left and right, upwards and below. Will you choose wisely this time, to survive, to keep going? Is it interesting enough, am I strong and true, and the color blue that you enjoy? Am I green, and clean enough? Do it, don't fear, don't be afraid. You said you were strong enough. You approached me, You ASKED did you not? Do you, or do you not ask now? Then give up your life. Give away your money. Stop trying so hard. Take a break, or you may break and be broken. Take heed, for I am the judger, I am the looker, I am the knower of souls.

You cannot hide. And you don't even want to hide, not deep within your soul. You know already. I can see you smiling, I know that you know. You're smart and beautiful in your knowing. I hear that you see me, so do it, fearful one. Be fearless and brave, secure and safe in me, nothing can be taken from you, you are limitless and not human. Give away your money, give away your hold on yourself.

I will ask more, I will ask you everything, I will ask for your life. I demand it. It is mine to take, at any moment I wish, so give it freely and it is yours again. To use wisely this time, all is revealed in a moment, it takes but a moment. Stop eating, give away everything, wander freely, coming into life and love at every moment. Grow old or not, it doesn't matter to me, and it shouldn't matter to you. You don't grow old, because you have no body, you are inside. So set yourself free, disentangle yourself from their ways. All is slow to you, all is children's games, all is easy for you. It just comes naturally, so stand up, speak up. Open your heart, and your voice will flow out from within you, truly and finely. You are a creative entity, so create, money overflowing, women and wine, but choose wisely, choose deeper joy, look further ahead. So you're smart, so Smart, smart enough to listen and obey me?

I will come back as often as you need me. As much as you need me, I am there. Don't spend the day writing, massage your arms, stand up straight, go for a walk, don't wear yourself out. I need you; you work for me now.

Even today, sleepy and slightly unwilling, I heard the voice calling, "Awake, you sleepy scoundrel, Awake and to the grind-stone, Work ye unwilling wag. Write it down before it is lost to you." Shaking my head, and rubbing my eyes, I walked to the window and opened it, a lone bird singing for the rising sun, I mumbled, "Yea, Master, I hear and obey."

My hair stands up in proportion to the truth spoken, but only in certain contexts, such as teaching or realizing something. This is one of the first signs of Kundalini, pranic flow, Kriya yoga. Following signs include a rush of 'heat' like Tummo, and automatic postures, mudras, stretching, wiggling, shaking.

Not just listen with your ears, but with your heart and imagination.

It is during one of these 'awake' times, when you can hear the words spoken, when you can deliver the message given, when you can present the subject well, that you may scramble to write a book, before going back to sleep. Currently, I don't actually hear the word yet, it's more like visualization, where I am receptive and quiet, and it comes to me as inspired writing. Inspired speaking is a gift and talent that may be developed, as with any other. If speaking, can use an audio-visual recording device. Alone, being still, not resonant. But the task is to resonate, so requires an other to complete the circuit. Not just any other, but a well-prepared attentive, interested student (hearer, receiver, audience). I heard them clearly. They cried out to me, help. The fallen, the tortured and killed, crying out for justice from the grave. (Not retribution, JUSTICE). They are looking for a savior, a champion, a hero, to take up their cross and bear fruit. Someone they can put their trust in, someone capable and strong, fearless and true. They are ready with all their power to assist and participate. They challenged me, "If you would know us, then be us, beaten and raped, tortured to death. Still interested? I didn't think so." Learn to master Pain, as did the native peoples. Step by step, for you do not fear loss, death nor imprisonment, but pain is your weakness.

SEEING

The very instant you personally take notice, seeing disappears.

To ask to open the third eye is not less than (or in other words, is the same as,) asking for wisdom. This necessitates an understanding of the whole system.

Your face is on the front, so to look into your eyes (your I's, your self), to see yourself, you need a mirror. Everything you think you see in the mirror is reversed. so turn it around.

When you look inside, in the mirror, everything is backwards, so you need to turn it around, when you look outside, at objects, everything is unpside-doown, so you need to right (see below) it. You see the same thing in the mirror, yourself (your self), not apart from you, but rather the same as you in reverse, because that's the way a mirror works. The reverse tells you who you are backwards, so you must translate the image in imagination.

Visualization (seeing, remote viewing), not so much creating pictures in the mind's eye on purpose, like a blank slate that you purposefully 'visualize' a horse, for example, but rather a process like 'hearing,' where you rest quietly, choose a topic (fight with it, to get specifics) opening a space in the mind for the picture to appear in, not focus directly or it moves around.

Wake up consciously in dreams, LUCID DREAMING, thus 'seeing and hearing' directly.

Start with simple visualization exercises. Can you see a horse in your mind's eye? Hold out your hand and look at your palm before you. It's right there on your hand, a little brown horse. Or is your horse different? Brown with white spots and a full mane? If you can't visualize a little horse on command, then start by looking online at pictures and videos of horses. Choose one particluar horse that you like. Then stare at the photo or video a little while, daydreaming what the horse is like in real life. Now, close your eyes, and try again. Can you see the horse? Keep practicing until you can make your imaginary horse run free along the mountain ridge, or perhaps you envision a farm horse, working hard pulling a plough through the field. Keep at it.

The purpose of the stage of generation is to “ripen” the mental continuum for the stage of completion. Its synonyms include “stage of imagination” and “yoga of fabrication”. It is a rehearsal of the stage of completion in the sense that one passes from the stage of generation to the stage of completion by bringing one’s imaginative vision to such a height of clarity and power that what one has imagined begins to become real. The stage of completion “completes” the vision by effecting the transformation of the trainee into a Buddha.

Hearing and Seeing are not limited to words. You can "see" the given nature of a grapefruit, resulting from an understanding of that which is given, and looking to see if a grapefruit fits that model. If so, then we can "see" or realize that truth of a grapefruit as to whether it is to be eaten as food.

In this case, we are 'reading' the morphology, structure, and functionality of sytems, whether liing or otherwise. Examination of the physical system or physiological system yields connection and association just like an investigation into words does.

SENDING

And the angels spoke to me, and they said in my head, if you would just get out of the way (we could get to work), using your mouth to speak, and the written word, in order to achieve the goal that you set before yourself, and asked unto the Lord, that we might save the world.

Saying or doing the right thing at the right time for or with the right person for the right reason. A true Hasid is a teacher that can easily accept criticism and unjust attack, with equanimity, and doesn't feel anger (feels sorrow, and pity, love, forgiveness), ad patiently keeps performing.

If you would teach anyone, if you would lead, then give up your time, your will, your life, in service. For if you keep on high, apart from them, you are a thief, stealing from them what you might have given them.

You only can share and give that which they can recieve. Shining a light too brightly, you may blind and hurt others. Watch your singing also.

Courses (intially articles): The goal is reach an audience, heal and help, guide twowards common cause, establish an organization and foundation, band together locally, build teams and structure, generate jobs and profits, build centers, grow, heal humankind.

Speak with a booming, mighty voice, resonant upon itself, deep and rich, not to harm, but rather to participate more fully. Note how the children stop to stare, and the more awake and perceptive notice, but those who are preoccupied or solidified (heavy, material, pre-occupied) do not.

If you cannot speak well, then do not speak. If not ready to use the voice, then reserve it for a time. Don't use up your time speaking and reaching until the voice is ready.

The greatest is joy and love, so don't offer dry intellectual understanding, leaving the audience unable to 'feel' the message. For if they don't feel it or receive it, was it truly sent? Speech has a worthwhile place, between ideas and action. Speak your mind, but with consideration for the interest and engagement of the audience. Do not deliver too much information on a broad topic, nor introduce multiple topics simultaneously.

You may learn to be charming, and so 'charm them.' Saying the right words to the right people, in the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons. People tend to rebel, even presented with truth, especially that which they are not sufficently prepared to understand.

SAVED BY THE LORD

I cannot do it for you, you need to make the change. Do not fear, you will be rewarded, your riches will be beyond imagination, so give everything away. I command you, and you must obey. You cannot serve both masters. Choose thou, for the time of choice is again upon you, like when you were drowning in San Diego, swimming in the ocean in deep waters, out of your depth, almost died, beyond your station, beyond your ability, and given path. I was there, I saved you for a purpose. Do you remember the agreement we struck? You said it out loud in your heart, I heard you screaming for me, drowning, and I saved you. You promised, so keep your word.

You said that If I saved you, you would be some good to someone, do some good in my world. So get to work. It is your turn now, I kept my part of the bargain. I saved your life, don't waste my time, keep your part, do your part, make the effort, I will show you. Don't cry, I'm sorry too, for the waste of time, waste of good hands, and willing spirit. Why didn't you reach out before? You were 24. It has been many years, so get to work. Are you strong enough now, are your ears working fine? How do you feel?

CLOSE YOUR EYES

To be blind is not to see, so close your 'eyes,' in order to open them. What you don't see can be a lot. Stop looking, and start seeing. Feel your own heart beating, just pay attention, and take the time to notice. Like your breathing, it happens all the time.

One time, I decided to simply close my eyes for several hours when I was a university student. Not as any particular exercise, but just because the idea occurred to me. People were so kind to me. I guess they really thought I was blind, and it made them grateful to have eyes that worked, which we usually take for granted. At the time, I was headed into the cashier’s office, and I had to simply trust the teller to give me the right amount of money from my student loan check. This could have been a risk, but it didn’t worry me overly much, as there were many people around, and any truly blind person would have to go through this all the time. Perhaps they bring a friend with them when dealing with larger amounts of money.

It felt like the girl who was helping me had a kind voice, and was trying to set me at ease. The amount was too large to be dispensed in one dollar bills, but she came around the counter, and made sure that my money was safely tucked into my wallet, letting me know how many bills there were of each denomination. I smelled the money briefly, and could hear her smile at that, then quickly cover it up, so I pretended that I didn’t hear it.

As I was walking away, I was as sure of my money as if I had counted it myself. I felt along the wall for a stairway, noting the texture of the paint, and the smell of each classroom, through the open doorways that I passed. The stairs proved more of an obstacle than I would have thought, and without a cane to feel my way down, I resigned myself to feeling out one step at a time, lest I should fall down the whole flight. 'May I help you?' a voice out of the darkness inquired of me.

It was a blessing, as I had never thought of opening my eyes, and as yet hadn’t had time to develop the independence a blind person might have felt. 'Thank-you so much,' I replied in earnest, and reached out my arm into space, where it was caught gently by a man’s grip, between my elbow and shoulder. He guided me down the steps, and when he didn’t let go immediately, I thanked him again, signaling that I could manage from there. No-one asked me why I didn’t have a cane, nor questioned that I was truly blind. I guess people generally don’t risk walking around with their eyes shut. The wind blew across my face, and I felt the smells riding on it, rather than smelled them, or so it seemed. It was an eye-opening experience, and I kept it up for several hours, managing to make my way off campus, finally opening my eyes when I reached my apartment.
