My first report of contact was sent to the wrong bulletin board. Sorry.  My first report was entitled: 1st retrieval success. I have been corrected. It was a contact.  After my 1st contact with Donna, I set time aside on the following day to re-contact Donna to make sure  she wasn't upset that I had been inturuped on our first contact.  I used transendental meditaiton to reach her. I saw Donna running toward her "Jesus" spirit and she threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms and legs arround him, as child does with a parent. We all started laughing.  I could feel Nape's presence. (My Helper). With Donna warpped all around her Jesus, the spirit of Jesus kissed Donna on her forehead. Donna turned her body toward me and gave me a thumbs up and grinned gleefully.  I gave her a thumbs up, then came back to full conscoiusness.  I thanked Donna for her wonderful gift to me.

This is wonderful Identicat. Thanks for sharing this with us.  :D

Love, Mairlyn ;-)

Yes, good to hear this! I'm always saying, you can learn a lot for yourself by doing and experiencing retrievals. (Well, or "contacts")

Yes, this is great and thanks for sharing.  We can all always learn from these.  I love to hear other's experiences.

Identcat,

Your second report here makes it clear to me that a retrieval took place.  In early experiences sometimes we merely witness a retrieval by the Helper, sometimes our mere presence triggers the person's contact with the Helper who retrieves the person, sometimes we take a more active role.  The key factor in determining whether or not a retrieval takes place is that the person, Donna in this case, becomes aware of the Helper's presence and leaves with the Helper.  Since that did happen in my opinion yours was a retrieval experience.

Donna's Jesus is the Helper who came for her so she was retrieved.  For me one of the best  parts of your experience is that you got some level of verification of your experience.  Verification leads to accepting experiences as real, leading to more open perception with the possibility of more clearly verifiable information in future experiences.

Thanks for sharng your experience with us,

Bruce

Thank you all.  Whew--- I took my first baby step to  understanding the retrieval process. It's good to have guidelines.  I liken it to the gutterless bowling alley.  No matter where the child throws the bowling ball, the is no gutter--- so the child knocks down at leat one pin.  That's me--- I knowed down one pin!! Love and Light --cat
