Take 2:
Late spring 2005. I received a telephone call from a Channel 4 programme researcher who explained that he was working on a television documentary exploring the spiritual dimension of voice hearing. He asked if I would be willing to participate in the film and requested I share some personal experiences.
I chose to tell him the story about the butterfly that settled on my head, preceded by the dictionary definition of the word Psyche. As I relayed the anecdote a peacock butterfly flew into the room. Delighted and surprised I exclaimed:
‘Oh! A butterfly has just entered the room.’
‘Has it?’ responded the researcher emitting doubtful incredulity…
That was the last I heard from Channel 4.
