Then I heard her begin to describe her 'Harry Potter' experiences, but I was gone again. Another self was making an analogy with the The Lord of the Rings and telling Karen that the The Lord of the Rings was his Bible. Another consciousness came through and said, "I am a weaver of illusions." She was there for a moment. The next thing that happened was that one of the 'consciousnesses' came into the body with both arms going into the air and a deep voice saying, "I CANNOT LIVE HERE." I looked up 'the hand raising' gesture online the next day. Apparently it was Wiccan, a psychic protection stance.
Then an 'angelic being' came down into the body. Meanwhile Karen continued to talk about how 'society was killing her and she would defend herself by killing in return if she had to'. I felt two 'angelic beings' looking at her through my eyes. Then the touch lamp to the left and right and the wall light switched on and off, then on and off again. Karen said, "Who is that?"
I answered, "That is Angel."
Then all the bedsit lights flashed on and off two more times.
Karen then said, "Okay, that's enough. I've got to go and sleep alone tonight!"
She later said that the fluorescent kitchen light had flashed as well. I felt great afterwards. It was the first time another person had seen these events, while having the other 'consciousness' present in my body. I thought this must have occurred because the other 'consciousness', existing as part of the central psyche, must have felt comfortable enough to come out around Karen.
During June in 2005, I got up and knew that something was different. I no longer had any of the CFIDS symptoms. It was like I had literally healed overnight. That day I went to Rui's gym and everything was suddenly easier than it had been before. I lifted heavier weights with ease and walked thirty minutes at 5.5km per hour without effort and there were no serious side effects afterwards. I didn't even need to rest. How could this suddenly occur after two years of being so ill?
Throughout this illness I was told by an 'angelic being', you will instantly recover when the time is right. That morning I drove to the chiropractor and made up my mind not to tell him anything until he had done the physical exam that I had every week. On the way I thought, I wonder of there'll be any streetlights? I was then told, there will be a sign. Then I saw a strip of rainbow materialise in a clear blue sky. As I kept an eye on it through the windscreen it appeared to fade before my eyes. Then a truck pulled in front of me with the words, HANDLE WITH CARE. FRAGILE CARGO INSIDE. I spent twenty minutes at the chiropractor. This treatment had been essential in easing the pain and getting me upright again. While waiting in reception there were two tiny flickers from the overhead light.
My chiropractor examined me, and for the first time in over a year of seeing him, there was nothing 'abnormal' showing up. He told me that everything was different. When I drove away and was about to turn the corner to go to the post office, I saw that another streetlight was on. When I walked into the post office a light flickered overhead a couple of times. It then flickered once more before it stopped. But ten days later I was just as ill and weak with the CFIDS as I had been before.
August had been a quiet month as far as the 'phenomena' was concerned. There was a nice coincidence on the way into Darwin on the Friday when I noticed that a streetlight was on and then thought, no, it was on last week. It's just broken. Then I was told, there will be another sign. Within a few minutes, as I was about to make a right hand turn into McMinn Street, a car pulled in front of me with the number plate [FAITH].
