The Wind of Disbelief

"From the start, there was this trust... a magic I can't quite name. I heard footsteps in the room, even though I knew no one else was there. It was as if another energy had walked in to join us.

​

We were outside in Mexico City; it was warm, and I was covered with a blanket. But suddenly - twice - it got super cold. [She smiles, shaking her head].

 

It’s impossible, I know, but it was all over my body. It felt as if something was leaving me... [She moves her hands from her chest outward, pushing away invisible weight]. Some thought, some energy, just... going.

​

And then, a breeze from the right. Whoosh! [Her hands sweep across the air, mimicking a sudden gust].

 

In real life, that’s impossible. It was a wind from another dimension.

​

Every time I would start to flow, to go into that other state... Whoosh! [She moves her hands from high above down toward the ground]. Something would bring me back, grounding me.

 

And when your fingers left my head... [She looks bewildered, touching her temples]. It was so intense. I can't explain it. It was extraordinary.

 

I feel like I've been cleaned by a wind that doesn't exist here."

The skeptic explicitly notes the impossibility of her experiences (temperature drop in warm weather, footsteps of non-present others). Her bewilderment and inability to explain what happened counters the suggestion of expectancy-driven experience.
