Hi George - I don't know if you can answer this or not, but thought I'd throw it out there.
In "Anatomy of the Halfway Realm", you mention that (I think it was) "Roslyn" who had been prompted for over a week; the way you wrote about it made me think that a week of constant prompts prior to (having trouble wording this.....)...prior to "something happening" is a long period of time to go by.....it made me think about how long I had been receiving prompts before even thinking about finding out what it meant.....
1997 - 1999 is the closet I can pin my first experience to. I was at a Burger King and placed an order for the entire family. When the young man handed me my receipt I noticed the time was 2:22, the date was Feb. 22nd (don't know what year), the cashier number was 222 and my total was $22.22. I remember showing the receipt to everyone in the car. After that, I saw 222's EVERYWHERE for years. I always thought it was odd that I would see these 2's everywhere, thought it MUST mean something...I even waited for dates that were 222 to play the lottery

(no, I didn't win anything

)
About 5 or 6 years ago I developed a health issue which forced me to slow WAY down, which in turn allowed me a LOT more time to think. At that same point in time my numbers changed ...no more 2's, but lots of 1111's and a few other combinations (so at this point I had been seeing 2's for 8 or 9 years with no thought given or received that it was something spiritual) ....also at that point in time, I started running into people who would share different ideas on spirituality with me even though I barely knew them. I FINALLY looked up 1111 and ended up here...my questions are:
Why did it take SO long for me to find out there was way more to this than winning the lottery?
Why do the Midwayers bother with those of us who are SO slow on the uptake, so stubborn in our own ways, so difficult to convince? (I think about my religious upbringing and the doubts/fears it causes me to have...the digging around my brain I do to try to make myself fully believe that meditating and trying to contact someone other than God is ok..... )
Why don't they stick to choosing people who can easily fall into meditation as you do?
As I re-read this I see that I am questioning why they chose me, I know you can't answer that (although there is a part of me that wishes you would!

), frankly, I feel like they are wasting their time on me. I truly lack the "stick-to-itiveness" that is required to have a deep relationship with these guys...I DO have the desire, unfortunately I am sorely lacking in motivation. (That "too hard" bin you talk about...if I don't get answers quickly I tend to give up altogether

)...to quote a well informed individual "impatience is the enemy", and I have impatience in abundance!
Sorry I rambled so long...hope I didn't lose my question in all that babble!
LOVE!!!!
Sammy
PS...fair warning, I am going back to your books for round 3, that may mean a LOT more questions (I'll TRY to keep them shorter next time!

)
