I appreciate you understandable, and appropriate skepticism. I experienced it, but still have difficulty believing such an extraordinary alteration of the material world really happened. But, when I look at the pictures of the dancing orbs that exited the room while I was in there, I have physical proof of a highly explicable experience, at least proof that something out of the ordinary was occurring, not proof about the lock. I later remembered that Gina told me that earlier in the night she had playfully silently asked that any present spirits “open a door, or something”, following our having checked all the doors and found them locked. I never would have done that, thinking, “Why ask for the impossible”. Gina knows the truth of “All things are possible for those who love the Lord”, not that it took “the Lord” to pull this off, nor was her request for an open door a prayer. At age 85, I am increasingly discovering how morph-able this “material” world is. Under the right, and still mysterious circumstances, our world that seems so solid but isn’t can be caused to take any shape, and in doing so to blow away our convictions about solidity of “material reality”.

Again, your skepticism is appropriate. We should never be quick to believe what seems impossible. As Carl Sagan said, “Extra events require extraordinary proof”, and the word of one old stranger is not “extraordinary proof”. After all, as far as you are concerned, I could be either a liar or a nut case, but your skepticism does not imply that at all.

We say “seeing is believing”, but sometimes even seeing a presumed impossible event, we find it difficult to believe. We guard against fooling ourselves, or allowing others to fool us. This is healthy, you are healthy.

And, I witnessed “the impossible”. I am a somewhat skeptical geophysicist and lawyer, not easily convinced, but having applied the best of my analytical abilities questioning how this could have happened in some prosaic manner, I find no answers. Having witnessed other “impossible material alterations” (the flying toy eagle) I am now more prepared to face the utter mystery of my life, and to find it the most exciting thing I can imagine.

Regarding eternal memory of our incarnated experiences, I encourage you to see it like reviewing the performance of a role you played wherein you are the judge, and there is no, NO criticism to be applied.
