STRANGE APPEARANCES © BY JACK SCHIMMELMAN One warm morning in Brighton Beach, upon awakening, I looked towards my bedroom door, which was in front of me, slightly to my left. I saw a beautiful young woman, perhaps 5’5” tall, standing in the doorway. I was not startled. I cannot tell you why. Perhaps the fact that she was a beautiful young woman helped me remain calm. She stood there smiling. She had a very long dress, which reached the floor, somewhat old fashion, vaguely Eastern European. I was still half asleep and I smiled back. I was about to invite her into my bed when she literally decomposed right in front of my eyes. The scene was right out of Star Trek, as in “beam me up, Scotty.” I could see her molecules separate, then disappear. That was when I knew that something strange had just happened. I remember to this very day, some 20+ years later, that I said, “oh!.” Nothing more. Nothing less. And “oh” it was. Later, I would ask Mary (a spirit guide) who that person was. She said that she had been the Human who had been channeling through “E” as the representative of the WE; that she had died in her village and she wanted to appear to me. I had expressed a great desire to meet the “WE” on this plane, before I died. As you have read, they denied my request, saying that I was not ready and that their channeling into physical form would interfere with my vibration. However, this incident was an attempt to satisfy my curiosity. I asked why was she dressed that way and had she died as a young woman. She replied by saying that she had lived a very long life in her village (she would not tell me where, but I somehow think it was in Eastern Europe). She appeared to me as a young woman dressed the way she was because she knew that I found young women dressed in that fashion very attractive and the shock of seeing her would be mitigated. I wasn’t shocked by seeing her. Instead, I was shocked by seeing her dissolve before my very eyes; in effect, by not seeing her. However, once again, I can honestly say that I wasn’t scared. During this entire time, I was never scared by what I saw and heard. Even to this day I have never been scared by such phenomena and that I welcome them into my life. Move through my heart. I invite you. I am probably inviting myself.
