132 DATE WITH THE GODS
I said, "Rama, when you mentioned I would be able to
take my spirit out of my body, I was excited. But today,
as I think about it, I'm still a little edgy about this whole
thing. Would you please be more specific as to why we
are doing this?"
She quickly responded, "I'm doing it because I want
you to understand your own spirit, and to be able to take
it out of your body. You'll discover it has many benefits.
It's an adaptation device which will make you more
receptive, more aware. Then you'll be able to learn more
quickly and grasp the concepts I will be teaching you.
You11 be able to assimilate more information and make
deductions faster and more accurately. Also, you11
develop the ability to read the minds of people around
you, so that you know their intentions. You11 be able to
develop your memory to a degree you never thought
possible.
Once you learn to astral project, to take your spirit
out of your body, you and I will be able to stay in touch
with each other telepathically.
You11 see; it's going to be fun. You11 also be able to
know you've found eternal life.
Once you've developed these skills, acquiring this
new gift, you'll be tempted to show the world. You11
want to share your knowledge with others. It's natural
to have this reaction."
"But how can this happen?"
"By mixing our spirits, our ananas and anionites, we
have become one massive spirit. Do you remember in
The Prophet, where Kahil Gibran writes, 'He was she and
she was he; they were one'? That's what we did. We
merged our spirits into one mass of energy. You
experienced new things; from this point on, whatever
took you normally, let's say, five days to learn, you11 be
able to learn in a day and a half now."
