I used to every night be able to go to sleep in two minutes just literally...resting on Jesus’s lap. He’s seated; I’m just laying my head on his lap. And he’s addressing the multitude. He’s not even addressing me. I am there. He knows I am there. And I went to sleep like that every night. Why it happened or what had happened, I don’t know. Maybe I needed him. But it just happened and it lasted with me for five years. And now it’s gone. Maybe now I don’t need that experience of Jesus. But it really was very vivid and very there. And I’d do it every night. I didn’t have to try, like in meditation when you have to achieve a state. I’d just go automatically. Like...people have habits of tucking their pillow or folding their pillow or holding their teddy. And this is what I do. I just rest on Jesus’s lap. It was just this clear. I’m sure if I would have concentrated more I would have heard what he was talking to the multitude about. But it was really, really amazing. And sometimes I wish I could have that experience again. But five years every night. And I was a child, at one stage a few years before that, who was scared sometimes to sleep. So at one stage I was taking sleeping pills. And then suddenly...there it was...I’d go to sleep.
