I lay down and cleared my mind. I paid attention as my body began to slow down in preparation for sleep, noticing my lowered breathing and heart rate, the settling of my limbs. I cleared my mind of all preconceptions but one: I was going to keep my mind alert as I slept.
Well, naturally I fell into a bit of a doze. But when I woke up, my head was wagging side to side without any conscious effort of my own. In fact, it weirded me out so I woke up just enough to stop it.
This may be nothing more than some kind of neurological phenomenon. I don't claim to know the reasons.
However, I do know God is the ruler of the universe and I am His child and that therefore my salvation cannot be taken away. But it's still unnerving completely and consciously surrendering control of your body and, theoretically, your soul to whatever it is that makes this possible, even if it is as simple as letting your subconscious mind take your conscious mind along for a ride.
Every time something like this happens it gives me pause to think, do I really want to take this the next step? It becomes more evident that I really am surrendering. But then I realize, I am protected and sealed for eternity. What do I have to lose?
