Notes - Session 1.1984 / 1985 metempsychosis / Romella for naught

        Mid-morning. You and Carol both awoke early awakened by the downpours and thunder. You both ache from arthritic causes and the weather does not help. – Amorella

         0848 hours. We are both tired. She has an appointment just after noon and is presently working on her email. I am ready for a nap. I’m glad the Target ‘presentation’ is completed. I don’t want to think about all those alphabetic characters in my head. I assume they are gone, not that they were of any use except as part time playmates in pre-school days. They were not personalities of any sophistication. Maybe they weren’t even there at all – just made up on the spot by a finger and thumb holding a string and washer.

         1140 hours. No nap, but the forty minutes of exercises are completed, aching soreness but no other arthritic problems.

         Carol will leave for her appointment shortly. You brought up old files. Let’s start with your first hypnosis notes. – Amorella

         Session One: First week in April. 3:00 to 4:30. 1984. Dr. Paul Payne, Ph.D. at his office at the University of Cincinnati.

Find a space on the ceiling to look at. You are getting quieter and into yourself .

Outstretch your arms, you will feel the balloons holding them up.

Your body fits neatly into the chair.

Each arm is holding a heavy concrete block.

Your fingers are asleep – which hand is first?

Flash: [I see swirling-like raw red meat is going down two tubes.]

Flash: [I am at a seashore. I am snorkeling underwater. The water is green. My tongue tastes the saltwater. I can really taste it.]

You don’t really need to hear what I say. Let yourself relax in your own way and in your own time.

Flash: [An empty globe  effect – my mind is suddenly elsewhere in another universe. This is much more visual than abstract.]

You are constantly aware and learning. Eyes take away the tensions in; let them be flowed away. Roll your eyes to the back of your head then down.

Be ready to come out.

You are beginning to come out.

You are coming out slowly.

You are almost out, ready to open your eyes.

Okay, open your eyes. What is your reaction?

I say, “Interesting. Quite interesting.”- I remember being amazed – especially with tasting the saltwater when there was no water and no salt.

         ***

         Back into it. 

         [I am surprised but eager for a quick conformation of the first experience.]

         Okay, you are relaxed.

         [Dream-like flowing colors appear quickly.]

         Go back to an early time. Perhaps to a seashore -- the Middle East -- ancient buildings -- Greece.

         “I see an old man with a staff.”

         What does he tell you about eating?

         [I think but I no longer see the old man. He says, “Don’t listen to your body. Your body should not eat.” I am suddenly conscious of other voices inside my head. The old man says, “Walk. Have good eating habits. They will help protect your body.”]

         ***

         Okay. Go back a hallway of memories.

         [Doors are on both sides of the hallway. The hotel-like hallway has a reddish carpet and dull walls and wall lights like in a movie theatre for vision. I travel down the hallway two to three feet above the floor. I have eyes but I do not have a body. I am free floating in a bubble about six inches in diameter. I move quickly down the hall, very quickly.] I was amazed that I existed and weighed nothing.

         Go to an early memory and stand outside the door. Think about how old you are. Go back to ten – eight . . .

         “I am already at three.”

         When you are ready raise a finger.

         How old are you?

         I do not speak. I raise my right hand and show three fingers. (I do not believe I just did that.) When I was three I did not speak sentences. My parents and grandparents were worried about me because of this. I would just point and say words like – “Milk”. That’s what everyone told me later.

         Observe the setting as you open the door.

         I went to open the door but floated through it and the wall on the other side.

         [I was standing on the step landing on the west side of my Grandparents’ home at 103 West Walnut Street in Westerville, Ohio. A lot of people are in the living room. It must be a party and we are ready to eat as people are heading to the dining room. Aunt Patsy and Uncle Ernie, Mom and Dad, Grandma and Popo. This setting is in color and it is as real as I am, movement and all. I think, ‘this is like real’ then ‘this is real’. All these big people are moving around. Dad is home from the Army. Both Dad and Uncle Ernie have uniforms on. This is quite a confusing situation.]

         Describe it.

         “We are getting ready to eat. I feel uneasy. I do not feel good about the situation.” As I talk my voice sounds quite different. I am shocked by this and do not continue.

         Do we want to leave?

         “No. It is confusing but I want to stay.”

         Okay, come out and close the door when you are ready.

         I come back.

         Okay, you remember what you want. Keep buried what you don’t want to remember. One, two, three, four, five.

         I come out thinking: ‘Unbelievable. The mind is so powerful. It is four-twenty in the afternoon and I am in Dr. Payne’s office and have been so this whole time.

         End of Session One.

         1314 hours. I remember this as if it were yesterday. On the way home I remember periodically putting my hand up to my mouth somewhat it shock of the reality of actually being hypnotized not once but three separate times. Going down to his office I assumed my stubbornness would prevail and I would not be able to be hypnotized at all.

         Do you not wonder where you were when your mind appeared to move into another universe – a flash vision of an empty globe effect, not an empty globe? – Amorella

         1320 hours. I hadn’t really thought about it other than it was an example of my absent-mindedness. I just disappear, that is the pronoun ‘I’ within just disappears. The physical ‘I’ still appears though for all scientific purposes. That is how I see the ‘effect’ of an empty globe in context.

         All for now. Post. – Amorella

         1324 hours. I find it odd that you would ask about the empty globe effect after all that in the session.

         It is important that you see yourself as you are. - Amorella


        1513 hours. We ran a couple of errands and have decided on Papa John’s pizza for supper and one meal tomorrow. I believe I may have already posted this first session on the blog a year or two ago or at least parts of it. I should have checked first.

         I asked you to do it now as a lead in to something else. – Amorella

         1517 hours. Okay, what is it?

          In 1985 you came up with a diagram of sorts to show in your mind how the one-on-one sharing of souls (friendship) takes place. Take its picture and add below. – Amorella

          1529 hours. I can do that but I doubt it will be readable. Again, this is rather embarrassing because I am no longer in that place in my head. From time to time I continue to wonder on how it is that the sharing of souls might happen. The word I use is metempsychosis. However, the more general meaning of the word is:

** **

Metempsychosis (Greek: μετεμψύχωσις) is a philosophical term in the Greek language referring to transmigration of the soul, especially its reincarnation after death. Generally, the term is only used within the context of Ancient Greek philosophy, but has also been used by modern philosophers such as Schopenhauer and Kurt Gödel; otherwise, the term “transmigration” is more appropriate. The word plays a prominent role in James Joyce’s Ulysses, and is also associated with Nietzsche. . . .

Selected and edited from – Wikipedia

** **

What this example shows me is that I made a misinterpretation of the in my use of the ‘sharing of souls’. I should have known better, and perhaps I did, but I didn’t care and used it anyway because I could not find another word that might fit my contextual use.

         This is another case for poetic license, boy. – Amorella

         You did go down and clean out the dryer vent. Not much was in the bottom at the topside of the basement ceiling nor was there much in the bottom of the vent before it moved up about a foot to be pushed horizontally to the vent out towards the woods. – Amorella

         1637 hours. I’m glad it is okay. This is one less thing to be concerned about.

         Place the diagram from 1985 here. – Amorella

         1713 hours. The above is how I was thinking at the time. I was feeling as if I were in some sort of mystical William Blake world in my head. – rho


         This is what is important here “How I Was Thinking”. The next photo-text is my introduction to Richard on paper. – Post. - Amorella

         Late dusk. You have been searching for the page on which I wrote my introduction to you, it begins: “Hello, this is Romella.” You had it last night. – Amorella

         2115 hours. I cannot find it. I looked in the manila folders I brought the papers up in last night. I searched in the basement files thinking I left the paper there but I cannot find it. What’s worse is that it is an original paper from the notebook. I cannot remember the date but the year 1988. Later you changed your name to Amorella as in “Little Love”. I am tired of this direction. Those early days are over. I made mistakes; errors in thinking you may have been an Angel. I think all those little characters in my head saw me when I recognized they existed (by using the pendulum). I think they also misinterpreted and thought I was angelic and somehow I confusingly took up the idea myself that I had ‘seen’ an Angel when it was only another part of myself that I did not consciously know existed. The mind is after all, extremely powerful in interpreting reality; no question about that.


         Perhaps the paper will turn up. If so, we will drop a photo-text in the blog. If not, we move on. Learning to know ones self is not so easy yet it is one of the most important things a human being can do, at least according to one of your heroes, Socrates. Post. - Amorella
