This was a retrieval experience I had yesterday, Jan 27.
In the distance there is a factory town, smoke coming up into the sky from the chimneys. There is a little boy riding in the back basket of a bicycle. He looks about 4 years old. Lots of traffic driving by fast. A man is on the bicycle. I don't see what happens. The little boy is suddenly somewhere else in space. I can see galaxies in the distance and possibly the Milky Way. He seems to have been knocked right out of his body by something. He is still in the basket on the back of the bike but I can't see the front of the bike any more. I reach out my hand and put my hands under his arms and lift him out and put my arms around him. He seems quite shocked, he is not fighting me.I get the name Foi. We are now in a home somewhere in China, a Chinese woman is preparing a meal, his mother I think, a square sturdy table with a white cloth on it, she is at the stove, she does not know what has happened. I have the boy with me. An elderly Chinese man enters through a wall in the kitchen, he has a long beard and a brown robe, like pictures of very old Chinese men that you see, and he seems to be a relative of the boy's, he approaches us and indicates, without words, that I should give him the boy, the little boy seems to know him and his face lights up, maybe a grandpa or favorite uncle, and he lifts the boy up lovingly and with serious expression on his face, and leaves via the wall with the child. I am left in the kitchen with the mother cooking the meal, and unaware of anything being wrong. I suddenly realize how hungry I am and how much I would love some Chinese food. I return home to get some lunch. Wish there were something we could do to assuage the grief of those left behind.Vanayssa

Thanks, Alysia. I have decided to cast caution to the four winds and just post what I get. Everybody here knows that we all know that we all feel at times we are 'imagining the whole thing" I think. So when I post what I get, it's like, ok, I don't know what this is but this is what I got. I appreciate much more now what Bruce Moen wrote so much about in his books as he struggled to get to a place he could feel the experiences were valid and real. I love reading everybody else's stuff. I am so hungry for this material I could just about jump up and scream. I want everybody to post everything they get. V.

Thanks for those helpful comments indeed, Bets. I need to either remember who I lent Bruce's books to or get a new set. I keep trying to remember what he said to do in certain situations. The book I am reading right now is the Home Study guidebook, is that the one you mean?
I am a Capricorn goat and a Chinese zodiac goat (or sheep) and I love food...it got in the way of my development there as the boy's mother cooked her family's meal and I realized how hungry I was...never even thought to send her loving support as the terrible news was about to descend upon her world...incredible! I must go back in today and send her support. The only thing is, Betson, I wonder if even when a retrieval seems to in the present, it could still be in the past, couldn't it? I mean, the scenario is presented to us as it happened, so it is hard to say if it happened, like, ten years ago or yesterday, what do you think? Still, there is no time in Spirit, so if I go back to send her support, it will be still as effective as if I had been there on the day it happened. I think. Right?

On another tack, I have been thinking, as I read all your posts and everybody's posts all through the site, I wonder if I myself could do like my dad and brother have done, and go build something on the other side? Like, Bob Monroe did, you know? If I really am there in the NP, then why shouldn't I be able to practice creation skills with thought and intent? I decided yesterday after thinking it over, I am going to go into the Park and try to create (I already chose the spot, among the rose garden somewhere) a little clear pool of water which will have healing properties for those both in the Physical and the NPhysical. How is that for arrogance?? I thought about Masuru Emoto's books on crystalline water properties and I have been reading The Search For Omm Sety, a book about a woman's passionate devotion to a Pharoah she loved in ancient Egypt, and there is a small healing pool in one of the Osirian temples there which she herself took water from in modern day Egypt and it still healed people she gave it to in England. So I started work yesterday on the construction of the pool in the Park, I hope it is ok to do this. I want it to be a healing pool. Well, it adds spice to my retirement if nothing else. In the physical, I am starting a business in buying and selling real estate (retirement has become unbearable, I have no family to speak of) and I could get a lot of enjoyment and excitement from building Over There too. What do you think about that? I would value your comments...and anyone else's...or if you think I need a good psychiatrist...Vanayssa

Thanks Spooky! Whoa! I am glad other people have been building things there. I was starting to wonder if I was going round the bend even thinking about those things! It certainly opens up a whole new dimension...which of course is what it is! Vanayssa

Yes, I am very excited, this morning I felt so thrilled I thought the top of my head would come off.It is quite a discovery, to really fully know that we are not physical beings, but are immortal, unlimited beings. To know, and not just believe...as Bob Monroe always kept on saying! V.
