| Charlie always had this daring,and fearless aspect to his characther.This was a new adventure to him.The first thing he wrapped his mind around was figuring out 'where' he was.Again,there were no streets,no landmarks,and he had no human body.It was just blue all around,except around this one area in the blue that was blazing light. It was during this time,while trying to figure his location,that his self awarness began to increase in ability.While still a human,Charlie's self awarness couldnt focus one more than 2 or 3 things at the same time.But now it seemed,he could concentrate on figuring out where he was,and at the same time,he could remember his entire lifetime in an instant. It felt like while he was still human,his mind was sort of imprisoned by the fleshly body,and now,by being set free from the anchoring effect of having a body,which needed to sleep,eat,lust,desire,etc.... without these hinderances,his mind was free to flex its unhindered potentials. In an instant,he figured out things about music theory that would make him the world's greatest genius,if he could go back to the human world.Matematical theorems light years ahead of einstiens e=mc2 rolled through his mind effortlessly.Charlie laughed inside at the absurdity that the mind could be capable of such logical feats,but only when freed from the gravity of the mortal body's needs. Then Charlie started to remember all the past lives he had lived as a human being.He got the sense that living as a human being was like going to bed at night,and dreaming-and that this post mortal state was like waking up from those dreams.
Then something blessed and intense happened.He suddenely felt prayers and love,from those still alive as humans.They were becoming aware that Charlie had died,and they were praying,and sending love to him-if only by reflecting on him in their minds and missing him and every good thing he was. Charlie looked all around him,and could see trillions of silvercords,slender threads in bundle's.They pulsated this love and prayer into him.they were connected to him.Suddenly,he didnt care so much about musical or matematical theorems.Every moment of love that he'd ever forged back on earth,was connected to him by these silver/superstrings. Then Charlie's consciousness stopped,and he passed into a dreamless sleep......... |
