I did not believe in the afterlife until yesterday, but the experience I had that Sunday night took me to heaven and hell at the same time. It was horrifying, bizarre, wonderful, enchanting, up to a point. How does anyone know what was never learned, what was never did, not even practised? Until then, everything was unknown, suddenly the curtain of the mind is opened and the unknown ceases to exist, the experiences come to the surface as if they were your great companion. From an ignorant person, you become a teacher, PHd, about the previous, ignored. I know when I would do it, I would do it with excellence. It's like a flame, you do not need to put your hand in a candle flame to know that it will burn it. Where did I learn it? How do I know that in doing so, would it surprise my partner? And why did not this curtain open with my ex-husband? How to explain the inexplicable? I will end it with a phrase from Shakespeare:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Katia Paes
