One of the earliest discoveries made in the new mode of LetSomebody-Else-Do-the-Driving was that I had more than one
nonphysical body. Upon return, I began to notice it took a small
additional effort to get back into the physical. Initially, I assumed this
to be nothing more than some minor misalignment as I tried to
reenter. On one particularly difficult attempt, I pulled back slightly,
stopped trying, and examined the problem. My physical body
appeared to be not one, but two—much as when your vision is
slightly impaired by astigmatism. They seemed very close together,
no more than three or four inches apart, one slightly behind and
fainter than the other. I approached the nearest of the two slowly, slid
into it very easily. I held this position for several moments. It seemed
as if I were partially interspersed with the physical, yet not quite in
phase. The condition had a familiarity that took me all the way back
to the vibration I first encountered and the physical paralysis that
went with it. The sensation was near-identical—without the panic.
From there, it was easy to reenter the physical with a simple
twitchlike movement, akin to a shrug of the shoulders. Thereafter, I
began to take particular notice of physical reentry and found that I
did indeed reenter a second form just prior to the physical body. In
