I wrote five names on five separate pieces of paper and spread them out at the kuman thong's feet. I said that these were my five name choices for him, and asked him to choose which one he liked best. I also said that I liked the first name best, Mongkut, because it means "crown/man with crown" and also sounds like "monk". I asked the kuman thong to indicate his own choice by moving the piece of paper that contained his preferred name. Later, I placed a doll's bed and doll's table and chair on the shrine. I saw that one of the pieces of paper somehow stood up (not shifted sideways) and propped itself against the glass of candy while I was not looking. It moved because of my physical movements, I am sure, but I had no intention of making those movements so that any piece of paper would move. There are the following important things: only ONE piece of paper moved, and theother pieces lay where I originally left them; and, even if I subconsciously moved so that a piece of paper would move, I had no idea WHICH ONE that would be. But, sure enough, the piece of paper that moved was that one which bore the name Mongkut. I now need to recite the chant for name-changing some time later.
Toto was able to fix the second glitch on my Word document.
