I had no feeling of my body, and for the first time I rose out of it without any bodily sensations like hard breathing or stiffening of my limbs. I just rose. It was lovely.

This is the 55th, and I joined you here.” We crossed it and started up again. I realized that this stairway symbolized my entire existence on the earth plane. When we reached the second one above, the girl said, “This is the 57th; I was not with you in the life before this, as I was not with you in this next life.”
