E Squared by Pam Grout - My First Experiment

So I came across E2 (E Squared) by Pam Grout in Barnes and Noble the other day. THe book intrigued me as it structures 9 "experiments" you can do to prove that your thoughts elicit a response from the "Field" - or whatever you want to call the unseen intelligence that permeates existence.

I started my first 48 hour experiment on Friday morning, the 25th. This experiment was to ask the "Field" (I'm not uncomfortable calling it God) to respond to my personal call for contact, by giving me a gift or blessing that in some way would make its numinous origin incontrovertibly clear. 

Since things like this have happened to me before, although never at my request, I was very happy, even excited, about the possibility that something wonderful could come about as a result of my simply asking for it.

And things did happen. It is a blessing in a way that Saturday brought about complete clarity that I cannot stay at my job no matter that retirement is less than 2 years away. I work for an extroverted business that is becoming almost maniacally social; as an introvert, I've muddled along but now I see there is no way I can handle what's coming. It was a blessing that when I got home from work my husband took me out for dinner, and we saw a wonderful sunset afterwards.

I was willing to accept all of these as real blessings and in fact they certainly are. 

But then, on the way home from our dinner out, I looked up in the southern sky and saw something unusual. It was very bright, and utterly motionless, about 2,000 feet up. 

I could not wait to get home and grab our big binoculars. What I saw through them made me catch my breath as I'd been half expecting to see a military helicopter. But no! This object was unlike anything I'd seen before: Circular and studded all the way around with stadium-bright lights. It was incredibly brilliant, real and solid-looking. My Mom saw the same ring of brilliant lights that I did, but she did not see the misty filament dropping down from the center of the ring that was apparent to me.  

I raced for my camera, knowing it would not take a good photo, but shot anyway. As expected from a little Canon Powershot, these photos did not capture what we saw through the binoculars, but I'll post them anyway.

You can see a glimpse of the round lights along the right upper curve in this shot. And yes,  that's kind of like a creepy face in the middle.

These two shots give a feeling of how bright this thing was.

I wish I'd been able to show in film what I saw with my eyes: a solid object ringed with brilliant lights.

After taking the photographs, I went inside and spoke with my Mom about it for perhaps 15 minutes. Then I went outside to look again. 

It had vanished from the sky. It was utterly gone.

So now I am dumbstruck. Within 48 hours my request for an incontrovertible sign of the numinous power of the Field (or God) was answered in a way that I never imagined. This is my first "UFO" in 40 years, and I don't follow the UFO news and never go looking for them. 

Wonder if I can ask for a job that pays more and suits my temperament better?
