I have been to place. I remain physically present with the verbal ability to communicate where I am. I continue talking. But I do not hear my voice. My eyes continue to blink, but the external surroundings are gone. My external surroundings are silent. I hear noise and I see the people in this other place and my memory totally recreates a scene from the distant past. Every word, every tactile sensation, every emotion, from the past is there and it's real.
Where is this place? It seems that it must be from within, brought forth by an external power. For this experience I am grateful. DH
