Dead Ex-Husband Alive at the DMV Part 11!

I received a book in the mail from Amazon today—not uncommon, except that I hadn’t ordered it. I knew at a glance. Great paper quality, though. I knew that at a glance too. And that’s all I did: glanced at the book. (By the way, if you ordered this book for me, now is the time to let me know.) A couple times I ordered a book from Amazon, but it never arrived, because I never did actually press “purchase.” Oops. However, I’ve never received a book I didn’t order. I texted the usual suspects, none of whom had sent me a book; given the date, it could have been a Christmas present. We’ve been out of town and it was in the mailbox when we returned.

Any second, anyone can call and ask if I received the book yet. I’m waiting.

After looking in my Amazon order history, where it wasn’t, I did a search on the book, to see exactly what it was I hadn’t ordered, and read the description, then returned to the book itself: I Am The Word, by Paul Selig. “A channeled text.” I like channeled books--at least the ones I like--but more to the point, Barrett’s religion (called variously Swedenborgian, or Church of the New Jerusalem, or New Church, the doctrines of which, by the way, were channeled, or divinely derived), was very important to him as well as a key to our connection. And his religion, and he, referred to The Holy Bible as “The Word.”

I Am The Word. Unless you tell me right this second that you sent me this book, I am going to assume that Barrett sent it. I’ve seen those videos of the Amazon warehouse, entirely automated—mistakes could happen, and I have no doubt, literally zero doubt, based on other signs from Barrett, that if he wanted to send me a book he could send me a book. And, if he were going to cause a book to be sent to me, it would be this book.

The book, according to its description, is meant to help readers connect with their guides and “become receptors for energies from above….”

Of all things.

So there’s that. And this story absolutely stands alone with whatever explanation you want to give it—unless you call me this second and say you sent me this book. And even if you do, I might suspect Barrett gave you a nudge. I would ask you what gave you the idea that I might want this book. Because this book is sooo him, and so not me—though it looks potentially interesting, and how could I not read this book? Tiny, minor coincidence that this very BLOG site is called "The Word 1111."

But there’s more.
