One guy even called me at my home to tell me that was my spirit traveling outside my body. He advised me to enjoy the ride, maybe I wouldn't fall so much. lol I wish I could be so sure about things when it comes to the spirit, having one or not having one. But I just don't know. I do see your point about these amazing pillars. Wow!!! I loved learning about them.<br />KendraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
