      MY FIRST TRAVELS

      I was an average child living an average life until sometime during my eighth year. After that point I was an average child living two lives. The second life was beyond my comprehension or ability to control. Waking up in that life was a terrifying attraction.

      If you’ve read my short opening statements, before you arrived at this page, you’ll know a little of my past. But if you bypassed that part you’d best go back and read it now, or you’ll fall behind. Meanwhile, I’ll tell you of a typical night’s adventure when I was a child.

      In this book, I’ll be fixing the out of body dictionary. I’ll use only easy words and phrases that fit the concept, and I’ll be denoting them ‘like so’, while you get the hang of thinking ‘nonphysically’. You may have caught on already that I’ve been denoting since the start of this book. If so, you have a good eye for detail and will make an excellent ‘traveler’. In understanding that this book is about ‘getting out’ you will soon have a full grasp of how to do it without all the confusing claptrap.

      A good example of my out of body dictionary is the word, ‘traveling’. That’s mine. When I realized years ago that I СКАЧАТЬ
