Spoken in English. Their words, as they said them.

And I'm reminded of a time I was in first grade, and, I I wasn't even really friendly with this girl, Sharon. But I went to her house, and it was a sleepover. And she lived in a little cottage. It was like the, carriage house of a of a of a mansion, of a the property. And the mansion was derelict and, graffitied and broken apart, stairwells, no banisters. It was it was very derelict. And so, of course, we go and to go in this derelict space. And, there was something very palpable in that space. And, that I recognized at the time, there wasn't anything that I saw. I thought I had seen somebody in the basement as we were walking by. There were bars on the windows, which I did not state. And, that night I had terrible dreams, very frightening dreams. And in the morning, we're supposed to go to church or something like that, and I just wanted to go home. And I don't think it's ever occurred to me that that wanting to go home was a point of separation because I got scared. And, I think prior to that, I don't really have a lot of memory of it, but I think prior to that, I, it was all just one thing. And, and then suddenly, it was split. I this is so interesting that that image, that remembrance should come up at this time. Because it was such an odd occurrence.

And I guess now in light of this conference, the idea of entanglement and closed spaces, and being able to commune beyond the mind, beyond the brain.

That was a point where, everything changed. Yeah. And my experiences became very different.

That's fascinating. I haven't thought about that.
