I've been asked more than once, "What was is like while you were asleep? Was it anything

at all?" I figured that may be a little easier to share right now then some of the more heavy

stuff. Although, I must say...it gets pretty deep ;}
In my coma I went to a very particular place, specific indeed. And that is where I stayed.

Even When I woke up it would take Stephanie a couple of days to convince me I was still in

the hospital in the mountains of New Mexico. She would eventually get a postcard with the

Hospitals letterhead to prove to me where I had been. I personally was still in my hospital

bed in a healing-temple-hospital somewhere in Asia. Really...Asia.
The only thing I experienced in the "sleep" was as close to altered-state/real experience

as I've ever been. It was a single whole experience. I've yet to recall a single dream from

the Coma. Just my memories of a healing temple in Asia with Family present, Surgeons, Asian

women in some for of traditional Asian uniform, a box fan, and the most beautiful Healers. I

could only describe the healers as a Monk of sorts. I knew they were there for my benefit,

but the were not meant to be seen... Even now I feel like I need to respect their

anonymity... as soon as I would catch a glimpse of one of these monks they would disappear

out of sight, usually by ducking down against the wall or sometimes by simply going outside.

I did see them though, in full description.

The outside of the temple...It's landscape etched in my brain; deep to the core where it

can't be weathered off. There were actually two Temples with a waterfall between them. The

healing-temple-hospitals looked like a pagoda. They were perched high upon large pyramids.

The pyramids were like flagstone rock stacked to the sky. Every surface of the rocks and

pyramids were Red like the Bamboo Coral... redder than any red porsche or rouge-rouge

lipstick. The Healers would sit on the edges of these pyramids and meditate. When they

finished their meditation they would jump out into the waterfall lake of water below... an

impossible feat due to the fact that the pyramids were so big/wide. No human could jump from

the halfway-up-the-pyramid-point and survive... but the monks did it for sure. After they

jumped in the water they would climb back up to the temple and go where needed in the temple

and start the process over again. I think alot of my Altered State was due to my Aunt and

Uncle, and my two Cousins. It was one of the most peaceful and healing places I've ever been;

and trust me, I was there. And My Love was by my Side the whole time.
Well, that's all I have the energy for now. This blog takes me most of the day to get

through because of all the pain and my current lack of motor-skills. Typing, spelling, and

some general hand-eye coordination has been further than compromised... I find out more about

myself as the pains change and my medications change... medications they gave me in hospital

make Morphine and the Such look like Tylenol.

So Good Night For Now,
And Until Tomorrow,

BTW, Thank you to those who have shared your stories with me recently.
And yes, I am open for discussion concerning my experience and I have no

reservations on the subject. Sharing my current experiences and what I went through in

the hospital is,... well, I think it's therapeutic.

Until Next Time Friends and Aquaintences
