My First Extraterrestrial Love 123"You have to be relaxed, at peace with yourself. Do
you remember that Mazda commercial, that even hum
ming, how relaxing it was, contrasted with the distorted
sounds you hear just before that?"
"Yes, I remember it."
"That's what I mean. Your ananas and anionites must
be humming at an even pace, at the right beat."
"Why?"
"Can you imagine what would happen to someone's
spirit traveling out of his body fifty times faster than the
speed of light? If his ananas and anionites had to return
to his body at that speed, without warning the silver
cord, they'd get distorted. That would create great
upheaval and imbalance to his nervous system. Many
people in your world are now in mental institutions as a
result of having been awakened too abruptly while
sleepwalking."
"I know you shouldn't wake up a person who's
sleepwalking. What connection does that have to being
out of your body?"
"It's the same phenomena. When you take your spirit
out of your body, you're unconscious, the same as a
sleepwalker.
"After tonight you'll understand better. Once you do
it yourself, you'll sense what I'm talking about. Then I'll
be able to explain in more detail."
"I don't know what to say, Rama," I said. I was feeling
very apprehensive about the experiment she was pro
posing.
"Chacho, I'm telling you two things: One, relax and
trust me. Equally important is that you shouldn't fool
with this unless you're fairly certain of what you're
doing. If you're not at peace, you could become possessed
by evil forces. But I'm going to be your guide. I'll be
helping you. By now you should be able to trust me and
cooperate."
