Changes

So the next [[morning]], I got up and what I have tried to do here is reconstruct a lot of this. I did not start [[writing]] it down until Wednesday, so I have recorded a lot of [[things]] just from [[memory]]. I got up Monday morning and [[meditated]] for a few minutes before I watched the morning news on television. I meditated from 6:15 to 6:25. I sat there [[quietly]] and nothing happened, as usual. I got up and turned on the television and the cable was out on all of the channels. There was nothing but [[static]]. So I turned it off and [[decided]] to [[meditate]] some more.

That is when someone started [[talking]] to me. The [[words]] came smoothly. One at a time in short [[phrases]], making complete sentences, just as if another person was speaking to me. I have not experienced any mental attempts to produce any of those words or make up something to say to myself. If it ever stops, I just sit there and wait until it starts up again, which it always has. There is no audible sound. It is like a word, thought in my mind. They talked from 6:30 to 7:00, for a solid half-hour. It seemed to me like only a very few minutes. I use the word "they" because they used the word "we". I do not remember much of what they said, but I do remember a couple of specific sentences:

"We congratulate you on the way you decisively yanked yourself free from the downward drift of materialistic tendencies". Right in the middle of talking about other spiritual matters, they suddenly and without warning said, "You need to take better care of your body. You need to lose weight and get more exercise. You are going to be around a long time and you will be better able to do what is asked of you if you are in the best physical shape possible. You will have more stamina and feel more capable of doing the work." I started my diet that morning at breakfast with hard boiled eggs and dried toast.
