sure as hell doesn’t put me in the wrong either.”
    “So; a few weeks ago, after all these years of being tormented; it all came to a head. In my , mind, it came to a head,” he said very deliberately. “I absolutely and completely made up my mind I was through trying to fit in; and I was through caring. From that point on, I decided nothing would pierce my hide so to speak, that everything was going to slide right off me. The idea sat really well with me and I was proud that it was me who thought of it. And I decided, not just the spoken word, but the physical attacks I experienced from time to time would no longer bother me or hurt me anymore. Instead of bottling up all the physical and emotional pain, from here on out, it was going to just roll off of me. At that point I was thinking yes this is it; something in my very soul told me this would lead somewhere good. But I didn’t understand where and that’s what I put my mind to. So everything that’s happened lately comes down to this theory I developed about how the universe works. I was able to work it out as a result of my meditating. So I’d like to tell you all about this if you don’t mind. I think you’ll find it interesting. Is that okay Doctor St-, eh, Rich? “
    “Of course Chester,” I replied smiling, “I may have another question or two for you at some point, but you’re doing so well articulating what’s going on. Boy, I wish all my patients were like you! And, Chester, there is nothing not to like about you. I don’t know how I feel about your theory on the universe yet, but I disagree with you on the, you not being likeable theory. You are very, very likable. But, please continue. I just wanted you to know I like you.”
    Chester continued. “Well, it started to come together around the time we were learning about spiders in biology; which was about a month or so ago. Sometime after that I realized “why” my instincts about my theory were right. It was in meditation when I suddenly had this sort of epiphany that all the energy within the universe is like one humongous spider web.  But this web is a sort of a, ah, an energy field; and it’s connected to everything , all living things, including us human beings. Now, the vibrations in a spider’s web, tell the spider exactly where in their web the prey is, how large it is, and whether it’s struggling; weak, injured, or strong and on and on. Well, the energy of this web is very similar. It explains what’s never been explained. It’s how a parent can sense their child, or spouse or a loved one has been hurt, or maybe had an accident, or has died; even though it happens far away. And twins have been found to have those kinds of connections. It’s where hunches come from.
    Everything we do affects this field, or web; and those changes can be felt by others. Everything is connected but we don’t realize it, or at least the extent of it. We don’t tune into it and we’re not sensitive to many of its vibrations, so we don’t know there’s all this information there. The only things most people can pick up on is what they’re most tuned into. Mothers, twins, and certain animals have inherently stronger connections to it. Oh, and especially dogs. They often have a sixth sense of where their master is at a given time. I decided if someone concentrated hard enough, they could enhance their connection to this field; hopefully even more so than the receptive mother or twin I mentioned.
    Through weeks of almost constant meditation, I became more sensitive to this field. And the more sensitive to it I became, the more I was able to learn from it. And the more tuned in one is and the more you learn, the more control you have over the energy you put out to the field. With my decision to let everything slide off me, what I ultimately accomplished was to not let anything my tormentors did to me, have an effect on the field. If I was right, they wouldn’t get the feedback from the field they
