181 their own. The room became silent, and I looked up with the glass in my hand to see three of my roommates just staring at me with looks of shocked puzzlement. I put it back on the counter, and one of the guys, Mike, said “Wow.” That’s all anybody could say. Conversation resumed a weed 1 And that was my introduction into a skill I have absolutely no control over. Like the time at the pizza parlor in Fort Lauderdale where my boyfriend and I were studying a menu at the counter, and my left arm suddenly shot out to catch a falling menu in mid-air; my conscious mind didn’t even realize it was falling until after my hand had already caught it and carefully placed it back on the counter top. The guy behind the counter looked at me with wide eyes and said “whoa.” And recently standing next to my bookshelf reading a book and my right arm shot out to catch the heavy bookend and push all the toppling books back on the shelf — conscious mind had to catch up once again with what my reflexes involuntarily did. And the many times I’ve dropped something I’d been holding and one of my hands involuntarily forms a perfect little scoop shape and positions itself under the falling object to catch it. I can feel my mind shutting off as some other part takes over and does this. It’s bizarre. All of which has led me to question my other unusual skills and abilities. In the original writing of this book I left this section out, but now I feel that was a mistake. It’s in my theory that people who are being taken and programmed, whose brains are being effectively rewired, are going to find themselves with some unusual residual “talents” and special enhanced abilities that normal people don’t have. And this needs to be mentioned, because it can be another marker that confirms something funny going on under the radar of our normal waking reality. So to illustrate, I’ll list a sampling of my own abilities, and maybe the reader will be able to relate in some way: Lightning fast reflexes, as mentioned above. Most notably is the fact that I have no control over it. I can’t override it. I happen to be right handed, but this goes for both hands, left included, which is interesting. Complete ambidextrousness in that regard. Something that reinforced to me that this skill is indeed indicative of “stuff” was the movie “Mr. And Mrs. Smith”...funny enough.
