Like, I'm just—I'm a zero in that regard, right?

There's my dead father above me, right?

He'd been dead eight years.

I love him.

But I was not happy to see him, right?

I was like—

I was shocked.

I mean, literally, I was, dad?

What are you doing here?

And there he was, and he communicated to me.

And so what I saw,

see isn't quite the right verb but i don't know if there there doesn't exist the right verb i sensed slash saw him and it was his essence his energy his presence right it's not like i see you right it's like oh there you right it wasn't with that clarity in some ways it was with a deeper clarity because it was his essence right and there he was his presence was right there and above me and to my left it was like quite specific

And he communicated to me, again, not with words, but with some manner that I understood that I can't quite explain what it was.

But basically, the idea was, you don't have to fight it.

You can come with me.

I'll take care of you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Don't be scared.

Right?
