This happened many years ago but the memory of it is as fresh today as the actual event.

     I remember that I wasn't really tired but decided to take a cat nap. It was the middle of the afternoon and as I recall I didn't have anything pressing that needed to be done. I laid down on my upstairs couch where after a short time I started feeling light as a feather. This I now understand was my astral body freeing itself from my physical body. I had astral traveled before but that usually occurred while I was asleep or just before I was totally awake in the morning. This was different, I was eyes wide open awake.

     I was so surprised that I started to wave one of my free arms under my back to see if I could still feel the couch underneath of me? It wasn't there. I noticed the fibers of the wood as I passed through the ceiling of the house and continued to travel upward at a what felt like a tremendous speed.

     When I stopped rising I was in front of what I can only describe as a cloud. It was bright and yet dull at the same time perhaps even a tint of yellow. And then I was aware of a voice that seemed to vibrate with authority through my entire aura that said, "If you love me take my hand!" Instantly I was aware of what I perceived to be a hand extending from this cloud like formation. I didn't hesitate, I grasped the hand before the voice even finished its message. I was in awe of this entity but had no fear about being in its presence.

     As soon as I grabbed the hand there was a pop and a kind of mental flash and I found myself once again in my physical body lying on the couch. I spent the rest of the day contemplating what and why this Angelic being was so interested in wanting my confirmation that I felt love in it's presence? The experience left me totally energized and mentally awe struck almost as if I was in a state of spiritual shock.

     It almost felt like a test but I’ve never questioned my devotion to the source. I will say that I felt blessed even if bewildered both then now!
