Walking Through Glass Door

In 1986, I once walked through a large double glass door front entry when entering St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, Idaho. I was on my way to see a good friend who lay in a coma there, totally unaware of the big glass closed entry door, because it was clean and my mind and heart were totally focused ahead of me in love & concern for Betsy on the 5th floor. As I went mindlessly through - it both felt like a mini shattering blitz-out and like my atoms all attuned with the glass and reformed themselves on the inside of the door. I was through the door and on the inside before I realized I had walked through without opening the door. I thought for a split second, "WOW I just became that glass!"

A few people were coming through the door, opening it behind me. I must have looked dazed and startled because they came up to me asking, "How'd you do that?" I answered, "I don't know. I didn't know it was closed."

Consciously, to this day, I cannot tell you for sure how this happened, except to say that most of what I do that is phenomenal is done while I am operating on 'auto pilot' - kind of like how we use unconscious or sub-conscious skills while driving a car in a pinch situation. The thing about the 'auto pilot' phenomenon is that some part of YOU WHO KNOWS takes over in that moment. I felt NO TIME to fear or think ABOUT anything. I was in a 'going forth' mind-set.

I can also tell you that in that particular 'time window' I was playing with the idea that we are all 'creating' our own experience of life itself - every step of the way - whether we realize it or not. However THE DAY OF THE GLASS DOOR I was 100% focused on my friend and 'the me who writes with you' here and now was already up in her room at her bedside. It is like my body was following my spirit as fast as it could -- damn the torpedoes & the glass doors! You could say it happened by accident, but 'they say' there are no accidents. I say it happened because I didn't know it couldn't.
