Her very first time at least that she knew of, Charlie saw something that wasnt meant

t for her to see by Matt, but something of a divine will by some unseen force and/or being out there. She and Matt had gone out for the evening and her best friend was babysitting her daughter. They got home around 9pm. It was snowing that night. It was bitter cold. So Matt said he would driver her friend home. Charlie checked on her daughter. She was fast asleep, so she then went in the bedroom and layed down on the waterbed. She wasnt tired really, but layed there. The lights overhead were on, and she seemed to have nodded off. She was having some kind of dream. A weird one. She was outside flying around in the cold, but didnt feel cold. She was around their car. It had snow on the trunk and the roof. The windows were fogged up. For some reason she hovered over the back window and was able to see inside. She saw Matt and her best friend having sex in the back seat. Its just a dream. But she tried to talk and even in the dream they didnt hear her. They didnt stop. She was sick and pissed off. Suddenly she woke up. She was very angry. This wasnt a dream. What else could it be? It was so damn real. How could that piece of shit do this to her? She was pregnant with their son. He was due to go off in the military. The Air Force. A while later Matt came home. She started punching him and screaming at him about what happened. He seemed surprised that she knew and yet denied it. But she knew. She had seen. She was there. It was real and graphic. More than she would have ever wanted to know. It was more than she could bear. Matt went into the Air Force as planned. While he was away, shehad given birth to her son, she had a name picked out for him. He was going to be named Joseph. However, Matt called her while in the hospital and threatened to not come home to her if she didnt name him Matt Jr. She finally acquiesced and name him Matt Jr., but still had this feeling deep inside that things were not, nor never would be like they were before between her and Matt. The baby, Matt Jr. had been born with a tiny hole in his

heart. It eventually healed on its own within six months, however, she feared everytime he cried, so it kept her busy to hold him and try to keep the baby from crying out of fear of him damaging his heart. When he was four months old, Matt Sr. came home from basic training and tech school, but when he came home things were oddly different. He acted strangely. She knew deep down things were over. She could never trust him again. She hated her best friend for doing that to her. What exactly happened that night. It wasnt her imagination as he told her. It wasnt a dream as he told her. It was real. She was there, she saw. It is indeliably etched in her brain. A few years alter she had gotten a book that amazed her. It was a series of books that are ordered through the mail off of a tv commercial. Maybe Time Magazine inspired type of books. It had much of the unknown in it. A long spread about astral projection. She was entranced. Somehow this seemed to explain what happened that snowy night. She saw what humanity had not intended for her to see. While it seemed hurtful and to be too much at the time, she was glad to learn of it and get away from a potential situation that would have altered her life and the lives of her children. She got a fair chance at life because she could walk away from Matt Sr. Since then, Charlie has had many astral travels. Most when she wasnt trying. When she tried to purposely project, it happened but was short lived. Not truly mastering it. During her faith walk, she learned much more about astral travel etc. The bible in Ecclesiastes 12:6-14, speaks of it. The silver cord. She has seen it. Its real! Upon conversion back to Judaism, Charlie learned that there is a particular prayer in the siddur that speaks of our souls traveling. The Christian prayer often taught to children, stems from this Jewish prayer Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the L-rd my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the L-rd my soul to take. This actually comes from hashkiveinu, the Hebrew prayer which says for the most part, the same thing. Judaism teaches and believes that while we sleep, our souls flit about. Travel. If the silver cord is snapped and we cannot return to our bodies because evil beings get us, then we pray that G-d saves our soul and lets the soul return to Him. True story by the way. So there you have it. My experience, a bit of my faith walk, and my final answer on the topic. Although a final answer so to speak indicates an unwillingness to progress in life. I should say todays beliefs. I am subject to change. I am human- therefore I evolve until I die.
