December 2010 Turning into Lenin's Mummy It was an exhausting day: flying into Seattle from LA, and then driving out to Yelm just in time for the first session of a seminar. That's why the plan wasn't to enter the phase, but to at least catch up on some sleep. I awoke quite early the next morning, and went right for the kitchen to get a taste of the delicious treats that my hostess had baked.

I rushed through the window and began sprinting around the house from a distance of 100 yards, intently scrutinizing everything I came across. My secondary plan of action complete, I was returned back to my body. I couldn't recall anything else important to do. But I had to squeeze everything out of this phase, and
