Body Caretakers?

[madforgal]

Swim was on charas with some friends and after a couple of ' chillums ', we all decided to explore a hillock on the outskirts. We were well loaded and were quite looking forward to our adventure. After travelling a while, having progressed almost halfway uphill, we all realised how thick the vegetation was, because we literally had to make a pathway for ourselves to travel upward.

Having tired out of climbing uphill semi stoned, four among the group backed out and swim and his friend were the only ones left....We must have moved on for yet another half hour or so, when we saw a seemingly deserted monastry...The surrounding was so peaceful and calm that we decided to make a chillum smoke then and there and so found a comfotable spot near a large tree. Both of us inhaled deep and were quite done when it happened...

I saw four hooded monks ( looked like monks ) carry a body which was also dressed like them and hooded and they sat at a spot placing the body in the centre and sitting around it and started chanting something...We decided to stay and watch as they hadn't seen us or so we thought. Suddenly one of them came walking straight up to us and without speaking placed his hand on swim's chest...That very moment, swim felt floaty and all of a sudden seemed to be above the tree top looking down at swim, his friend and the monk!!

In fact swim could see all around like a bird...and suddenly as it had begun, it ended with swim looking into the monk's eyes and the monk taking his hand away..." I'm the body caretaker " he whispered and pointing to the body lying inert, he said..." he has left on a mission and will be back in a few days. We are watching over his body, till then ". Both swim and his friend were flabbergasted to say the least and the monk abruptly turned and walked away...

Well, we needless to say rushed down to our friends who were partying where we'd left them and narrated the whole incident and obviously, they wanted to check the whole thing out and so we all climbed up again and in half hour reached that very spot.

People, no monastry...no monks...no nothing...Our friends ridiculed us for having got stoned and hallucinated the whole thing and wouldn't believe us and our swears...
