I just read above Bruce's new addition "how do you know?" gee, I wonder how long thats been there? it was great the way he says partnered exploration really helped to get him beyond all doubts and I have to agree partnered exploration takes you a long long way in understanding that we are more than just these physical bodies. so that said, some here have shown an interest so I'm encouraged; I shall not be shy!!! hee!

I'll explain it by hits and misses: and also try to explain what I was feeling and/or thinking during the hits in case it might inspire. the interpretor was active in there also, so I'll try to explain about the interpretor. this is helping  me to write it out because there's alot of room for improvement, hey!!! its fun!!

hit #1:  theres other houses around, like suburbia. I ask myself if this is a city? but I don't see tall buildings; just like house tops. then I turn my attention to the side of the house, I wonder where the street is..it seems to be facing this door.or is it the front?  I'm looking at some cement steps, I'm wondering how to count them; do you count the flat level step as one? I do and tell Sydnei I saw 2 or 3. I don't move closer, the bush is hiding my view.  she says there's one step. ok, at least I saw cement.  I see overgrown bush on one side of step. she confirms large bush. I'm looking at this door and thinking they don't use this door as much as they use another door. but I don't go looking for it. I find myself in the kitchen,  I like kitchens: you can find out all sorts of things by looking at someone's kitchen. so there I am, my doubts still with me...I see a design on the cabinets that I like.  I'm thinking is that marble design? or is it an antiqueing paint process? I seem to be a short person, what the heck is that about? I find out later her countertops are marble, so I'm sorta on, sorta off about that.

the next night I go back unsatisfied with the first findings. so does Sydnie, we agree we need more time.

Hit #2 and also miss #1:  so I go and view suburbia again, I ask for an overall view this time; is it me floating up for the view or is the house on an elevated slope? I ask sydnie about this later;  no the house is on flat ground. I'm thinking my interpretor was trying to comply with what I was asking, to see an elevated view.  so the biggest hit is coming now. I decide to use the door I saw and walk in this time. I'm imagining walking through the door unimpeded.  I've found out through email Sydnie has 2 kids by now but I don't know their ages or sexes yet. a little boy appears at the front door. I'm a little surprised by this, that he can see me, that we have conversation even. I play along.  I think he is maybe 5 or 6, turns out to be only 3. he asks me what I'm doing there. he's cute, because he wants to make sure I'm not there to cause trouble! I ask him may I come in and look at his furniture? so he lets me come in and disappears. so this could be a hit or miss or a little of both. next I'm standing in what Sydnie calls the play room and I'm thinking family room but I definetely feel the room belongs to the kids. theres not much room to walk, its a very active, comfy, homey feeling, lots of stuff in the room, I don't bother with details like chairs, tv's or the standard things you might find there, I'm a little overwhelmed theres so much to look at. I want the feelings of it. I do see a gorilla poster but this might be a miss as Sydnei didn't mention it. from the liveliness of the room my attention turns into a more expanded view, the house has an open plan I didnt' see the first time;  I see the kitchen next to the playroom and observe the tidyness, the cleanliness, the order in the kitchen contrasting with the playroom. I sense it is shiny there in the kitchen, I feel the pride of a nice kitchen. for all you doubters out there, not everyone has a tidy kitchen!!! theres alot of light, where is it coming from? are those patio doors? I decide they must be . sydnei later confirms to me that she may be clean to a fault, and that there are patio doors in the kitchen and the kitchen is next to the playroom and there is an open plan. I did however not sense the windows which are in the playroom. I am thinking about her other child, this one is a girl, I don't know how I know its a girl, I just accept it that she is a girl,  but I see her as older just as I did with the boy. I sense her. she walks by my mind like a breeze, she doesn't pay attention to me.  I don't see her or talk to her. she seems very self-possessed; later Sydnei tells me she is 6 going on 13, hmmmm.....I'm there to look at furniture though and the layout so I try to stay on target with this, although people are more interesting!

ok, Sydnie got more and better hits than me so I'll let her tell her viewing. I think she does the breathing exercises Bruce taught to quiet the mind chatter. I don't do the exercises but probably should as I float in and out and have to concentrate to stay with an image. I also have to keep asking questions and zero in closer is better than standing off to the side.

anyway it shore is a good feeling to get something right once in awhile! despite the fear of being wrong! much love, alysia

ps: I don't know how important this is, but in the beginning, we were talking back and forth, sydnie and I and I thought we should develop a "feeling" for each other before we experimented, I think we've managed to do that. I called it then getting to know each other but really its about the feeling one has towards another, entailing a trust. although its possible to remote view a stranger's house or the stranger himself,  I still think its preferable to establish a connection to help the motivation of actually attempting a non/physical visit mainly because two people are then in agreement about it, and theres more power then to create the experience. I wish to thank ginny and dora as they came up with the idea of bringing gifts to each other and trying to decipher what the gifts were...we're going to try that I think soon. much love, and I hope some bodies try it, I want to hear every detail! just don't strain or stress out when doing it...yea, right! and don't think about pink elephants, right? ha!

love, alysia
