awareness amplified tenfold. I noticed the detail of the pavement, the blue sky and early morning rays and the beautiful rustling of the lush trees on the roads, which are so prominent in London. I got a few strange looks from strangers; I couldn’t tell whether the people I looked at were in the physical or astral.

She looked at me smiling while she talked, I smiled back. I thought she was quite generous doing this, considering the number of people here attending. But
