Erin
OK sorry Erin I was trying to broaden the understanding of unrecognised
events, of which D light I thought was just one example.
True you have been told about it, you've read about it, but it still isn't
important in your life ( or my life for that matter)... so I doubt you or I
will ever see it .
But what if we now call it a Halo..... now I think there maybe a greater
chance of experiencing it.
Different name, same thing!!!!!!!!
the category Halo is already deeply embedded in your psyche, it gives you a
handle with which reassess D light
Now if you see it, you'll really see it.
