I feel as if I have graduated from the University of Life

By the time I had received my very first letter from the Neothink Society, I was literally feeling like I was on my last leg. Some months prior, I had received communication from Temple University Hospital informing me that two of the candidates who had been involved in the same drug testing I had volunteered for had died from brain damage. I was instructed to be seen by a medical doctor regarding this.

Seeing my life now flash before me, I was able to understand why I felt like I was dying as every day went by, why I was struggling to recall things I had learned on my job just six months prior to being involved in the drug testing, and why my husband repeatedly completed most of my sentences for me. I began to dislike reading, because I couldn’t retain much of what I read anyway. However, being stimulated by the letters sent to me, I subscribed.

I certainly was not prepared for the results I obtained and the amazing transformation that took place next. Realizing that the more I read, the more I grew in knowledge and understanding, I decided to pace myself. I did not allow a day to go by without completing at least five pages of reading, regardless of how busy I became. Then I began to feel better and better as I continued to read.

One day, almost like being in the right place at the right time, I overheard a lecture on television by Dr. Daniel Amen titled “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.” He was expounding on what we need to do to sustain the life of our brain, explaining that we need to read daily to make connections, and that interacting and meeting with others helps toward that end, because as we meet people we are compelled to recall names and remember faces. Like a miracle, this explained to me why I felt like I was being healed.

It is my firm belief that here on earth we have been equipped with all the resources we need to be successful. The literature showed me how to tap into those resources. I distinctly recall saying to myself, upon completion of my first heirloom, that I had been pulled to a black hole. Feeling like I now had the ability to soar above the university and look upon the earth, I was reminded of what some of my colleagues shared with me when they graduated from college: how they began to see things differently, almost like in three dimensions. Now, after reading the heirlooms, I too feel the same way.

I feel as if I have graduated from the University of Life. I am certainly indebted to the authors for the changes their writings have brought about in me.

Sincerely, Jacqui. Just be!
