raised his hand confidently.
    “Yes?”
    “You can give a person an idea to call a doctor, or take a certain medication or go to the hospital to have something checked.”
    “That’s good.  All of those things could save a person's life.   Any other ideas?”
    Journey slowly lifted her hand.
    “Yes, Journey?” Professor Walter asked.
    “I think that in a life or death situation, such as say, someone drowning, you can put the idea into another person’s head to grab a branch or log for them.”
    “Yes, all very good ideas.  Now, however, is the difficult part that we are going to explore.  How we go about instilling thoughts into people’s heads.  Please turn to page nine in your textbooks where it reads, How to begin the process of thought instillation.”
    As we opened our textbooks, Professor Walter looked out upon his class.  The soft seats were in a semicircle starting with the bottom row and gradually ascending until the top row overlooked them all.    The seats all had desk attachments.  Only the freshman classrooms had seats.  The higher levels were expected to float in place without any chairs and use air formed desks.  Freshmen, however, had not mastered floating or firming air, and were allowed to sit on seats.
    All four of us sat in the same row.  I, teasingly whispered into Kevin’s ear, “I’d like to use mind instillation to get Angel Walter to give me an A.”
    “I heard that,” Angel Walter exclaimed, not in an angry or disapproving way, but rather in an amused sort of tone.  “Just so you know,”  he continued, “I have excellent hearing.  It is a fact that our senses develop and become stronger the longer we serve as guardian angels.”
    “Oops,” I giggled.
    “So,” he paused, “As some of you may have heard, we do not give letter grades here such as A's and B's, it is only pass or fail, but since Josie wants an A so badly, we’ll start with Josie reading the first two paragraphs.”
    I grabbed my textbook and as usual, I wished I hadn't opened my big mouth.
    I began reading aloud. “Mind instillation requires a great amount of focus.  You must clear your mind of all other thoughts.  Think only of the person you are trying to help.  If you have any personal thoughts or desires, extinguish them immediately. Selfish desires only interfere with the process and cause you to fail. 
    Focus on the problem at hand.  Think of the thoughts that you want to instill.  For example, if you want the subject to think, I do not wish to cross the street right now.  Think that over and over in your head.  Put yourself in the constituent’s place.  I do not wish to cross the street right now.  I do not wish to cross the street right now.  I do not wish to cross the street right now.  Paralyze yourself as you wish them to be paralyzed.  Do not move a muscle.  Finally say the words, As Guardian Angel, I command it. To add a little umph you may get out your baton and wave it after you say the words.  This is not required, but many like to do it.  Sometimes a guardian angel's 'magic' flows better through the baton.”
    We all received batons upon arrival to be used when directing the choir.  I was relieved to learn that freshmen weren't required to direct the choir.  We kept our batons in a special pocket in our robes and gowns.
    “Okay,” Angel Walter spoke to the class.  “What is the significant component of the passage Josie just read?”
    One of the freshmen in the back raised his hand.
    “Yes?”
    “I think the important part is to only think about helping your assignment.  Don’t think about yourself.  It isn't about you.”
    “Exactly.  We are here to help others.  Eventually you will find that as you help others, you help yourself.  It is an important lesson to learn.  Evil spirits work in just the opposite way.  They wish only to help themselves and in so doing, they destroy themselves.”
    Felix asked, “Will we get to practice
