The young barber started talking to me about making conversations with women. I told him that when I was his age I was too shy. I told him what I learned later in life about talking to women. I gave him an example. I paid for my haircut, tipped him, and walked down several blocks to the grocery store to meet my wife. I went into the store and asked my self, why would we plan to meet here? where did she say she would be? Then I recalled that she has said she would be parked illegally near the barber shop. I woke up! I felt shocked that I had been lost so easily.
The conversation with the barber had put me into a deeper hypnosis than I have knowledge of being in for a long time. It is the first time I have ever been able to look back at the moment of that awakening and say "I was really hypnotized," to feel that quickly fading sense of the pain of the loss of self-awareness.
Is this an omen? Should I take it as such? The lesson seems clear, that I have a long ways to go in many different situations. Is there more?
