"alice in wonderland"

			scrolling white letters

  i just laid down for a few minutes...  as i was sleepy...  and there was a
storm front just rolled thru here...

  when i had been sorta inbetween asleep and awake...  i noticed out of one
of my eyes...  which was open the other closed...  that out of my left eye...
the single line of white characters was strolling to the right...  always
before they had scrolled to the left...  anyway i switched open-close my two
eyes and noticed that out of my right eye the characters were scrolling to
the left...  then i switched open-close my two eyes...  and noticed that out
of my left eye the characters THIS time scrolled to the left also...  then i
moved my left eye to look to the right...  and the line of white characters
changed to scrolling to the right...  but when i moved my left eye to the
left...  the line of white characters changed to scrolling to the left...
THAT IS A MOST CURIOUS THING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN...  i have so far assumed 
that the white line of scrolling characters originated deep within 
my brain...  and therefore which eye i used or whether my eye was left or right
of a "center" position would have made no difference...  sweet dear, things
are getting curious-er and curious-er and curious-er...  but still i feel very,
very comfortable with these things...  it is as if "our source" is getting
us use to more "Alice in wonderland" like experiences...  i just wonder if
this kind of thing continues on slowly and safely without bounds as we grow
to integrate these unusual experiences into ourselves...  it certainly seems
important to have each other and to help [P] and [D] (at least only these
two so far)...  what do you think, hon...  also please dear believe me about
the "subliminal words hearing" stuff...  that's a tuffy to figure out when
you begin to notice it happening to you...  it really, truly did happen...
i may have gotten some specific details wrong as you can imagine i might...
but really, truly dear it's a real, real perception phenomenon...  not
scary at all once you know about it...  i bet the "subliminal words hearing"
and the "scrolling white characters" phenomena are methods of receiving
information from "our source" which information is embedded in the
environment all around us...  as i said over and over a couple of weeks
ago...  i was reading and seeing the "message in everything" around me...
kinda like you said John G. Neihardt said about the dynamic pattern thingy...

  but dear why are you and i so special that these things are happening to
us...  surely other people have gone thru their "version" of this phenomena
too...  like perhaps John G. Neihardt starting when he was twelve years old...
maybe poets great and small get a touch of the stuff...  or kinda get in
touch a tad with the stuff unbeknownst as to the source of it...  GEE, hon,
don't we make GOOD philosophers...  how's come you and i TOGETHER can get
the answers to questions philosophers have been asking for thousands of
years...  are little ole me and you THAT DAMN GOOD...  or is it kind of that
time of the millennium when all harvestable folk are allowed to pop their
corks and become butterflies in a gentle sort of way...  no wonder we want
to keep our faces buried... lots of the time...  just to reassure ourselves
with each other...  and something we feel secure and safe with...

  anyway, dear, the above is "at least a thought worthy of consideration"...
