General

Jefferson laid comfortably in his bed. As he stretched and looked towards his cable box the bright red lights showed 11:59 p.m.

Jefferson has four hours to sleep before he would have to wake up for work,Jefferson fell asleep quickly and deeply. Jefferson is unaware of his subconscious awareness to to leave his body, Jefferson has no idea that he has had 6 out of body experiences within the past month. Jefferson's waking consciousness is innocent of this, but his inner being is not. Jefferson has a Spirit that is free and daring. Jefferson's spirit is eager to learn. Jeffersons heart is full of light and love and only wants to explore the unknown.

assigned lightworker,

Claudia evergreen( guardian,therapist)

The room was filled with silence. Anthony sat down and placed the letter he just read aloud in front of him on the round brown marble table,

(Anthony and six other spirits were sitting around the table).

Juror number 3 broke the silence, She quickly, and hastily, stood up! She said", My name is Jacqueline ."I think we can agree as spirits, we were all once alive on Earth, I believe we can also agree that we've had dreams like this before.Some of us may remember, And some of us may not. "How can Jefferson's Spirit be guilty if he doesn't consciously make this decision before he goes to bed? When he's awake is it really his fault? What are we punishing him for?

Jacqueline takes a deep breath ,As she wipes a tear from the corner of her eye. Jacqueline quietly humbles herself and sits back in her seat.

Juror number 2 stood up,My name is Justin, he said", I suffered a horrible death ! I was in a terrible car accident! I didn't even get to grow up ,I'm only 17 years old. I can't say I've ever had an out-of-body experience, But had I have lived a full life ,who's to say I wouldn't have had any out of body experiences ."Would I be on trial for something I don't know I would have even experienced or notl

Juror number 5 jumps up out of his seat. Justin looks towards him shocked!

My name is Norman I've lived 92 years on Earth. I've had many out- of- body experiences .Sometimes,As I would start to drift into sleep I consciously would prepare myself for the out-of-body experience,willingly."I even remember a visitation from my guardian angel, He warned me of the risks". I still continued to do it." I loved to fly over the ocean at the speed of light, and search for items, And people.I would try to connect with other spirits,Explore the world.Sometimes I would go too far from my body," Your spirit loses energy".

Norman continued,"Luckily ,for me my body would pull me back like a fish on a hook.

"The last experience I remember was my dog barking to wake me up,"Anyhow,"How can we convict Jefferson of something his spirit is doing?,"Jefferson is still a human being he is not crossed over. Jefferson's spirit is disciplined enough to know to go back to his body.Jefferson's Spirit does not cause havoc in the spirit world. Jefferson's Spirit only wants to do well and help others and get closer to our creator. "

"If we convict Jefferson Spirit the next time he has an out-of-body experience he will not be allowed to go back to his body. He is gaining a lot of knowledge in the spiritual realm and it's upsetting other spirits" .The spirits feel like it's an unfair gain that they had not received when they were on earth."

7 balls of light floated into the room ,Taking there place one to each juror floating to and fro.

It is now time for the jurors to make a decision. The balls of light would not leave until the decision was made.The glowing lights hovered in front of each jurors face illuminating them like sunshine on a mirror. The glowing balls are the messengers that would deliver the jurors decision to the almighty judge.

The jurors were undecided.

Then suddenly,

6 glowing balls became one, One ball still hovering.

Six jurors decided guilty.They feared that Jefferson would meddle in things he shouldn't meddle in.Jefferson was guilty because he had received a warning from his guardian angel ,Jefferson explained".

(To the spirits this was a rebellion,However Jefferson's Spirit understood his guardian Angels warning.Jefferson's Spirit remained careful each time he went into the spirit world, He never stayed too long or went too far .However ,that was not good enough.)

"juror 1 stood up"I am Andrea , She said," Jefferson is innocent, as well as his spirit !"

Andrea looked at all the jurors for a moment,making eye contact with each one for a second or two.

Andrea said,"It is only natural that one would want to get closer to the one who created him! Jefferson spirit is evolving ,he is hungry for the truth. ,"I have looked into his heart, Jefferson only wants to hug his Lord and savior that is what he truly wants ,If the Creator is allowing his Spirit to do this then ,Who are we to judge?

Everyone sat back down .Five minutes have since past.

The glowing balls of light all came together like a giant star. It was a unanimous decision. The giant ball of light floated out of the room through the ceiling to its destination into the hands of the Creator.4

Beep!Beep!ennnn! Ennnnn! It is 4am ,The alarm next to Jefferson bed is going off.

Jefferson jumps up!Brushes his teeth, gets in the shower and gets ready for work. Jefferson's cellphone rings once,Hello,"

Hey,good morning it's Thomas.Im on my way to pick you up."(Thomas drives Jefferson to work most days).

Thanks, Thomas!

,I had the craziest dream last night",said Jefferson.

I saw a giant ball of light! It was as big as the sun! It floated right towards me.

Wow ! interesting!,Thomas said".

It was incredible! said Jefferson."I took two steps inside of it, And there was the Lord glowing majestically,His eyes were like a ocean of rainbows in a sunset.

"The lord held me in his arms,It was like I was a newborn baby again," I feel so good today".

"Thomas said ,"that's wonderful Jefferson! God loves you!, I'll be there in 5 minutes ,okay ?"

Ok!, See you soon buddy",Jefferson hangs up the phone, Walks by the window looks up to the sky, and smiles.

Little did Jefferson know there were eight smiles, smiling back.

I like the idea of this story. So frightening to consider our spirits are being judged while our physical selves are clueless. Christine I did find your writing difficult to follow as you regularly changed tenses. Keep creating and the flow will come.
