There are times in life where we do something or discover something that's unique. Where what's happening transcends what is evident to the eye. When doing it and experiencing it we know we will never forget this exact moment. I have a very interesting memory of one such incident when I was 18 or 19. That evening there were two things that I experienced that went beyond what I knew existed in the world.
I was invited by a friend to a conference in town where they were talking about a book in particular. The book had a technique to help us memorize lots of words in a few minutes. Funnily enough, I don't remember much about either the book or the author though. I remember being in a large room full of people, we must have been at least 500-700 people. There was a moment when the speaker announced that he would choose a volunteer from the crowd to demonstrate what he was trying to convey in the book. The moment he uttered the words " I will choose one person from this audience", I knew that person would be me. I guess with that thought, I had sent out the perfect receptor energy. That day I felt the presence of a thread of energy for the first time. It was like I was pulling the speaker to me. He got off the stage, took the stairs and used the big aisle that divided the large room. He walked a little, stopped and looked around. Then he continued walking. Remember there were hundreds of people and several rows of chairs on both sides of the aisle.
When he reached my level, he looked towards the other side first and then turned to look towards my direction. He stood there and pointed at me. He had a mike in his hand, so he said "You, the young girl wearing a brown shirt". I was very stunned by what had just happened. I didn't understand why I had felt the pull of energy or how I knew he would choose me.
I walked up to him and he asked me to accompany him to the stage. I was obviously very scared. It was scary to stand up there in front of so many people. He took me backstage and asked me to listen to a story. Then if I remember well he showed me 50 words on a sheet of paper. The next thing I knew I was speaking to the audience and saying out the words on the list in perfect order. He had put this list on a screen or board for everyone to see. I was facing the audience and the list of words was behind me. The whole experiment had taken 5-7 minutes backstage. I was scared to make a mistake but somehow knew I wouldn't.
Sometimes in life so many inexplicable things happen around us. The pull of energy between the speaker and me and the fact that I could recite all those words flawlessly are small examples of incidents that paint such mysterious colours into our otherwise normal lives.
That must have been such an enriching experience and what a confidence booster👌
