Jeff,
Big Congrats on great work. Your experience demonstrates so well how learning the Art of Retrieval can teach us so much about our human existence beyond physical reality. Your experience taught me something new.
I find Jamil's projection of the blonde young man/medic into the scene just fascinating. I'd never thought much about "where" some of these Helpers "come from." It makes perfect sense to me that Jamil could just place his intent to appear in that form and play a particular role, like a handsome young medic Katie would be smitten with. It also makes sense, from a multiple location perspective that Jamil could "be" in the young medic "thoughtform" and "be" Jamil at the same time. I find that just fascinating.
I like to say that a teacher's fondest hope is that students will use what they learn to explore places and learn things the teacher never knew existed. Jamil's projection of an Aspect of Self that takes a role in the retrieval is new understanding I as a teacher didn't have before you found wrote about it.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
Bruce
