An appreciation of 'Outlier' Don Elkins

[Bring4th_CarlaLisbeth]

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for this lovely post, for understanding so well what was true about my BC.

If only you could have known him in person! He was endlessly charming and would have many a listener wrapped around his every word - all without pretense, sophistry, or ego of any kind.

Don as you know was a pilot for Eastern airlines. Eastern had one test in particular which tested not the pilot's capacity to remember how to fly the plane but their response to the frustration of not being able to complete an impossibly complex task.

In this case, the test was to play a complicated game of "Simon Says". Each time a certain colored light lit up on the board, there were different buttons to depress in order to turn off the light. The variables and the pace quickened as the test progressed.

Not only was Don the only person in Eastern's history to actually complete this test, but even more telling was his absolute serenity during its taking. He later shared with me that he disengaged his brain and let the instructions move through him. In essence allowing his intuition to come forward in place of his intellect.

This is a great clue to that entity who we know as Don Elkins. Someone known for his outstandingly brilliant intellectual capacity knew when to lay that faculty aside and open up to deeper rivers of information and intelligence.

Thank you each who appreciates the life and the service of Don Elkins. Not a day goes by that he is not roaming through the secret corridors of my heart.
