Recently I experienced an incident like I have never thought could happen to me. We have seen many movies portraying a beam of light and suddenly and image or person appears within it. Well, that has been a theory in movies and books and some would say ‘imagination’. Others might say “That’s magic.”

It was shortly before the evening news was to come on around 9:00 p.m. I thought I would sit on my sofa and relax while waiting for it. I was a little tired from the day’s activities, so being dressed in my pajamas, I began anticipating going to bed right after the news was over. The remote control for the T.V. was in my right hand. Sofa pillows behind my back brought on the comforts of relaxation. Everything was in order and I was feeling very content. Instead of sitting up straight, I became so relaxed that I kind of let myself slide down to an almost slouching position. After a couple of yawns I felt my eyes doing a little blinking now and then. Before I knew it I was in a sort of half awake, half asleep state of being. A cozy warm feeling flowed over me and I felt myself drifting off to sleep. My right hand felt like it became a little warmer.

My hand opened and suddenly my eyes opened wide to see a pinpoint of white light coming out of my remote control ! I didn’t move. I had no fear as I watched this light forming a V shape from the remote control, growing larger, moving in front of me to the left side. The light became a tall cylinder of light. As I watched it intensely, a figure suddenly appeared in this cylinder of light energy ! It was a tall man dressed in what looked like a fitted white long sleeve sweater and white trousers. He was facing my television, looking at it. I was looking at him in amazement. He was more interested in the T.V. and paid no attention to me. The man reached down to a white counter or table in front of him, picked up something in his right hand, put it in his mouth and began chewing whatever it was. He did that a few times as I watched in wonder. I noticed he didn’t have any hair, but other than that, he was real ! Upon that realization, I quickly put down the remote control on the sofa cushion . As I turned to look back at him, the whole scene had disappeared ! His name was James.
