“One morning, I had an interesting experience when I woke up: I didn’t have a clue where I was. I woke up not knowing who I was. I could have been anyone, anytime, any place. It didn’t matter. I just wanted to know who I was so that I knew what I would be dealing with when I got up. Honest to G-d, I could have been old/young, male/female, in any country, but I was aware that I was still me.
“Then I shuffled a deck of cards and they all had different faces, lifetimes, places and people, and a voice said, ‘You’re Marta this time!’ I remembered I was Marta and that being Marta was an easy one. I was unemotionally seeing all of these other lives. I could have been rotting in a prison in the middle ages. None of it mattered. There was no emotional response, I just needed to know who I was waking up to. It was extremely humbling.”
