Ideal Dream

Chapter 7, A Difficult Challenge

And for those called to our Lord's supper, And few are called, In regards to a Marriage of the Faith I would encourage the woman to think in terms of a Marriage of Truth And allow no obstacle in her way - sister, cousin - none should be an obstacle For if any knew truth and faith then none would contend or object, but in the flesh they may be weak in matters of faith or facts. Bear in mind it is you, oh woman, called to the Lord's supper - not your friend, not your cousin, not your sister. --- attributed to the Holy Spirit in Saint Paul.

Helen was most keen on having Stephanie formally accepted by the small Jehovah's Witness group as her and Darth's telepathic daughter. This required, in practice, that Darth could come to the point with Melanie at which she would accept a Faith Marriage. Melanie was the only woman among the group consenting to seriously consider what an equivalent of a Faith Marriage was in the context of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Ultimately, as the case with all the new Faith Paths the Natural Telepaths had helped put together, only the act of telepathic sex between Melanie and Darth could secure such a Faith Path. Of course, it would not really be Melanie in the actual act itself - it would be Helen blending with Melanie but allowing Melanie to respond in a natural way. This also had a two-fold purpose, so that a woman can learn what that is because its effect could truly be unforgettable.

Except Darth did not have of a clue how to do this! To him, Jehovah's Witnesses simply had some "strange ideas". Strange ideas which included refusing to accept blood transfusions, which included insisting God had a name that they alone knew, ideas such as that Jesus entered heaven in something like 1914; ideas such as that Jesus was in fact in October and it was "unclean" to have Christmas in December; that Jesus did not die on a cross but a long impaled pole in the ground, and other similarly puzzling intrigues.

Islam emerged as a religion using as the basis that they were descendants of Abraham's second son, Ishmel. Most aspects of the Koran that differ from the Gospels in regards to Jesus, when analyzed using this complex framework, were consistent. But Jehovah's Witnesses were a mystery to Darth!

On the other hand, Jehovah's Witnesses, Darth felt, had far more "good habits" than bad.

Who was this Russell character who begun all this? Darth had to consider deeply. The fact that it was an American bothered him no end. That country he did not trust in matters to do with religion - the American culture was the one who sold and raped and murdered women and men calling them slaves. On the other hand, some of the finest Americans were of course against the slave trade and an important point of the American Revolution was also to get rid of the slave trade. Darth decided that the fact that Russell was an American ought not be held against him.

But what was Russell's motive? And how does a person who invents a new religion get a huge following in the first place?

Before Darth had a chance to consider this, the setting in Lisa-1's setting, Kara's physical house, formed strongly. Lisa-1, but by this time it was becoming evident Helen was often Lisa-1 just using Lisa-1 preferred image, was with a pregnant tummy and standing by the kitchen with arms crossed. Darth imagined himself in a suit at the table, and for the first time a male Witness "scholar" was among them, at this Catholic table. A "consultant" Rabbi from Jewish Holy Ways also imagined being present.

"Are you sure they are not your problem?", Darth turned to the Rabbi, "the fixation on a name, the numbers that they seem to decide are correct such as 1914, it all smacks of a person being lifted in awareness by a Jewish Holy Way and then something going astray and the person's brain focuses on side-issues."

"Except your wife", the Rabbi pointed to Lisa-1, "wants Stephanie as formally acknowledged as your telepathic daughter. That makes it your headache." (it was Helen who was Darth's wife from the Jewish point of view, but Lisa-1 was as one with Helen's will and that, to the Rabbi, equated to the same thing - the woman with Darth was his wife of the faith regardless of the image she chose to use.)

"I forgot", Darth lapsed his head on the table.

"Can we call you Russell please? Just to remember who you are?", Darth asked the Witness scholar.

"Sure", the man nodded as he focused on the imagery, "but I am having a problem with this...this vision in my head is so strong, I have no energy for life."

"Sorry, you will get used to it, and it gets easier", Darth replied.

Melanie was also in the setting sitting on the side of the long table. She wore a white shirt and grey suit with a knee long grey dress. She had neck long brown hair. She was a touch "thin", from Darth's point of view, but not anorexic or anything.

"I am just ordinary", Melanie sensing Darth's thoughts in regards to herself, put he hand on Darth's wrist, "not the beauty your three wives...I feel its just Helen, she uses the other two images sometimes...are."

"You are fine", Darth replied, "and if I did not already have...too many "wives" in a sense...and it was just me and you...I would be most interested in exploring a Faith Marriage with you alone."

"Thank you", Melanie smiled and imagined a white handbag which she placed on the table.

One thought on Darth's mind was the "blood transfusion" issue. He asked Melanie, "so if Jesus sat next to your son who was in hospital, and put out his arm saying take my blood for your son...you would not allow this?"

"Uhm", Melanie looked a touch uncomfortable, then leant and said softly, "I am a believer, yes, born a Witness, but the blood issue is not serious with me...like, I suppose, my feel is that to many Catholic women the rhythm method the Vatican advocates as a birth control technique is not a serious issue."

"Especially when you consider where that came from", Darth mused, "the spilled seed of Solomon is the theological...never mind, I am off the road. What I was going to suggest is...but how sound this is I am not sure...one most serious contemplative step that could begin bringing a man and a woman higher into the spirit, was when a son or daughter was sick and needed a blood transfusion."

"But don't they have blood substitutes?", Melanie asked.

Darth imagined a white label on him with the word "MEDICO" and pointed to it, "I can't answer that question truthfully for medical reasons."

The Rabbi stroked his grey beard and decided to explain, "well...Darth was about to say that many of such "blood substitutes" are "blood products" anyway...but he did not want to say it in case you begin refusing blood substitutes once this is known."

"I understand, thank you for the explanation", Melanie briefly put her hand on the Rabbi's hand. She turned to Darth, "so what is the point of all that, the blood angle in the Bible."

"To teach people to understand blood is the life in a person", Darth replied, "to learn to understand to associate blood with spirit and life, thus the sacrifice of Jesus by allowing himself to be crucified takes on a sacred and divine depth - and also so the followers of God would refrain from blood sacrifices to idols, or to God. Much the same reason Mohammed forbade gambling and drinking, it had to do with killing camels at the time - but as always happens, the idiot mind reads into simple instructions an absolute commandment." Darth turned to the Witness scholar, "what do we know about this Russell? Did he have a brother? Did he have a dispute with him, perhaps a legal dispute, when he had his insight into a new road?"

Melanie decided this was not important to her and altered the situation to a hospital emergency room. It was a life-like setting - Darth noticed she was not as "thin" as his first impression. They imagined being a husband and wife whose child had ab accident on a push bike, cuts everywhere, too much blood loss, and now the child was in the emergency ward."

"What do we do?", Melanie turned to Darth and asked softly, "if they want authority for a blood transfusion?"

"Give it?", Darth replied uncertain how Melanie might respond.

"My husband in ordinary life is far more difficult to pass around...had that difficulty once...almost ended our marriage", Melanie replied.

Darth imagined a doctor walking past with a bottle of medicine. He asked for the bottle, read the ingredients, pointed to one ingredient, "this medicine is 20% blood product...where do you draw the line?"

The Rabbi, having worked out that what Darth suggested earlier was a distinct possibility, now used a Jewish "Holy Way" mystery of God and introduced a "Rabbinic lock" on both Russell and Melanie. In their heads they felt dizzy, then imagined a transparent but thick wall like circle in their heads. The Rabbi explained to Darth, "your wife's request...she just sensed you quite like Melanie and decided to put a "marital control" as she put it, on Melanie." (by wife, the Rabbi meant Helen).

The setting in Kara's house returned.

"Helen is rather possessive", Darth turned to Melanie, "but I love her that way."

Lisa-1, standing at the kitchen entrance, covered her hand with her mouth to stop herself laughing. But what Darth said was too funny and a strong "amusement" flow came through.

"She thinks I am the same with respect to Helen", Darth explained Lisa-1's reaction.

"And I love you for that", Helen was not in the setting as herself, she in a red business suit with a rather brief skirt. As she imagined sitting next to him, and the visual strong, Darth put his hand on her thigh. Helen gently took the hand away, under the table, flowing to him confidentially, "behave, let's make sure Melanie feels comfortable. You are aiming to score with her, not me."

Melanie, not aware of their private exchange, had thought of something to do with that emergency ward situation. She imagined again being with Darth in a crowded emergency room. She was sitting half-sideways to him, and used a soft flow, "what if..they don't ask and just do it?"

"Do we disown our child?", Darth replied and as he did he imagined putting his hand on her thigh. Melanie looked down and took his hand delicately away, "hold on...this is personal....we are at a professional level."

They way she flowed "professional" made Darth suspect this small group of the Witnesses had in fact been under the protection of a Jewish Holy Way. They used techniques which involved "reasoning" in different ways, with the "professional" thinking technique highly regarded.

The moment he felt this, Melanie imagined being with Darth in a Catholic setting...she never experienced this effect before but she just knew it was....a park, a sense of light blue dots forming the image matrix. "Wow", she said as she opened her white handbag, "you are Faith! No one can do this, shift a woman away from a Jewish Holy Way...I am not simple, I knew my group of Witnesses were under the white umbrella of a Jewish Holy Way. But you can help me mold a new Witness Faith Path under the umbrella of Jesus?"

"That's rather personal", Darth muttered as he glanced at her leg which was much more exposed in this setting.

Melanie took his hand and put it on her thigh, "your Father, "the God", must be one hell of a male God-being!"

"Has a sensitive female side to Him", Darth replied delighted with the way she explained her thoughts.

"So have you", she flowed nicely, in a heavenly way, and leant against him, "so this is the first step of a Catholic Faith Marriage? A setting like this?"

"Aha, or similar", Darth replied, "and I will take a stab in the dark in regards to Mr Russell, the founder of the Witnesses. I bet you he had a legal argument with a neighbor whom he considered as a brother...and he tried to persuade the neighbor using the Bible...but the neighbor was possibly a clever American lawyer who found a nice easy way to turn the tables around. I don't have much regard for Australian lawyers, pathetic in my book, but American ones I tend to view with some regard. If we research some history into the time of Mr Russell, we may be able to work out exactly what kind of legal wrangle it may have been and his approach to trying to persuade using his personal understanding of the Bible."

"I don't doubt you and your team of Witnesses are clever enough to do this", Melanie replied.

Darth looked about. In this setting there were only the two of them...Melanie may have been giving him a hint that she was willing to "cooperate" or form an "alliance" with Darth's combined Life in the Spirit group.

"Well", Darth said, "we are not interested in confusing people...but we also need to know the exact origins of variations of the Jewish religion...it is what is was...because if we don't know exactly, then scholars can come along and easily find flaws in our Faith Path and persuade people away from it."

"I understand", Melanie replied and imagined a white handkerchief and she wiping a tear, "and I don't care...I found truth...truth in justice in you...I may be more aware of your personal war with the Australian Legal System and they are running terrified now..they know they can not win or delay...I admire you for that. In a sense, I love you because of that."

The sense Darth felt was that Melanie knew an awful lot about this. Darth did not think it was very useful to pursue how exactly did Melanie know that much. When using telepathy or Life in the Spirit, his personal experience was that the less curiosity, the simpler it was to achieve the important objectives."

Melanie used her will to alter the setting to a typical Jewish Life in the Spirit, she and Darth imagining walking along a dirt road in a field of wheat. "I want to define a new Faith Path for Witnesses that is not dependent on Jewish Holy Ways. Can it be done?"

"Sure, but is it wise? The Holy Ways don't interfere with beliefs, they simply secure a Life in the Spirit group which stumbles onto them."

"I accept that", Melanie put her hand on Darth's upper arm, "but neither do they help theologically..and the Witnesses ought to be directly under Jesus as the Catholic Faith Paths, as I have come to believe, are."

Darth locked will with Stephanie who imagined walking with them. Darth pointed to her, "when she is a married woman, she alone will decide that...if she wants to form a Faith Marriage then yes, a new Faith Path can be secured in that way. The Faith Paths we develop are only for Faith Marriages, regardless of personal preferences. That will also stop anyone boasting about all this - to advertise and explain the concept and will and intent of Faith Marriages is, I suspect, outside the scope of any Judeo-Christian based religion."

"I understand", Melanie smiled at Stephanie who was looking with interest at both.

"What will I do when I am older?", Melanie asked sweetly.

"Not important, dear", Melanie smiled, "a touch too complicated for you at your age."

Melanie leant against her man. She was feeling very comfortable with him. To a large extent Helen made that possible, the "wife" she was blending with Melanie - but it was also becoming of personal interest to Melanie and she felt she could, and felt she already wanted to, consummate a telepathic marriage on her own with minimal assistance from Helen.

Darth was also warming to Melanie. He decided she was not that "thin" and her flows while lacked a certain "assertive" character were delicate, feminine, most appealing.

Just as his thoughts turned this way, Helen locked his will forming a house by a beach setting - a "Jewish heaven" setting and the quality - the sensations, the feelings - aptly described this. In the image she wore a long and wide dark blue dress and a light blue top. She imagined throwing some sand on him then being in the house with him, she by the stove, lighting it. That gesture, of lighting a stove, was a "warning" in Jewish Life in the Spirit. It made Darth submit to her reasonably quietly and allowed Helen to run the interaction. She imagined being in the bedroom of this rather large house, he laying on his back on the bed, she sitting neatly on the bed, with her finger writing on his chest at the same time as looking firmly at him, "let's talk about adultery in the spirit...when I used different mental images of myself I might have confused you...you are mine alone, I am yours alone...the male sense in you is too strong...women of faith tend to be attached to you easily and in the mood to explore sweet imagined possibilities. Understand?"

She nestled against him, flowing softly, "if you ever do...I will forgive...but for nine months after you will not be able to use any form of sex...impotent in every sense of the word for nine months, in ordinary life too...fair?"

"All right", Darth shrugged, not sure what to say.

"When I blend with a woman of faith across the telepathic plane, or in the spirit", Helen said, "it matters not how she appears, you are drawn to her, you could make love to her. That is because you are making love to me and with me."

"I was not always certain you were blending with a woman image", Darth replied.

"That was then, this is now", Helen replied, "for a time, now and then, seemed important I do not...influence you...by you knowing I am blending...thus Lisa-1 or Lana could make a call if you do, or do not...not anymore."

She imagined being on the sand with her husband, touching his face, giving him a loving kiss, flowing softly, "love...it has to be this way...this is a top level setting for Jewish Truth Marriages...I am not accusing you of anything...but the controls set here will bind a man and woman to a committment. Trust me, accept me as I am.

At the same time Melanie was with Russell sitting in the stand of Seaworld in Queensland, Australia, watching a dolphin show. The stand was packed with member of the Australian Jewish community in the know, the ones who formed a new combined Life in the Spirit group. One woman walked with a baby in her arms and explained to the hundred persons in the stands. "Most are still Jews but we have a mix, Islam, Christians, even two Buddhists, what not, so we are a combined Life in the Spirit group but Australia has become a testing ground, an experiment, for a new combined Life in the Spirit group. That's a long story, please don't ask or be too curious, can take a year to explain everything using in the spirit interactions."

"As I understand and believe", Melanie explained to Russell, "you and I are the chosen ones...the true Witnesses if you will...regardless of how the Witness movement had come about...we consummate a Faith Marriage, come what may...if you are not interested, speak now, the Holy Ways will separate you into another telepathy group...else you and I have a date."

"I understand and accept, come what may", Russell replied.

Some men and women in the stands learning about this exchanged some concerned looks. The woman with the baby explained, "no, don't worry, Jews in the spirit don't have an equivalent...there is a tradition called a Truth Marriage which is similar but that is ever so rare and not encouraged...we stick to our dual reality in the spirit technique. Helen and Darth are the only ones whom you can suspect have, already, a consummated Truth Marriage - or Faith Marriage in Catholic terms, or Holy Marriage as it is also called. I say "suspect" because please don't ask, it is very personal as you can imagine, and I have no idea and no one else has, it is between two people and their God."

The woman with the baby came and sat by Russell. "You do appreciate, dear, Melanie in fact accepts two husbands at the will level...Darth, and you...Darth through Helen, complex technique, a Jewish mystery in fact."

"I can get used to that", Russell replied, "and I don't actually think I know what is meant by telepathic sex."

"Me too", Melanie looked with interest at the woman. There was a touch of excitement in her flow.

"Can't explain, you need to experience", the woman replied as she rocked the baby in her arms, "with the right partner it is an experience a man, or woman, can not forget...makes simple sex in ordinary life seem a microscopic example of what true and deep sexual love is."

In the other image Helen imagined switching off the gas stove, with Darth standing with her, "good...we have a conclusive agreement."

She imagined being with Darth now in the other setting, at Seaworld. She imagined standing with Melanie and Russell, and she with Darth. "My husband", Helen pointed to Darth, "has never allowed me to properly explore a path of love...but with you both...maybe."

"By "properly" she means I never allowed a man to imagine inserting his you know what into you know what...and no way!", Darth replied and explained to Russell, "nothing personal...would not matter if you were Catholic or Muslim or what not...about the only man I might seriously consider this with is one of those Jewish Nobles, as they call the senior men, in their Noble Ways, if I sense Helen is ready to admit she would love to do this at least once."

Helen gave Darth a glance which suggested "you are pathetic...why would I want to?", then took Melanie aside to the other end of the stand, "listen...traditionally...a wife when she blends with another, allowing her husband in the spirit to feel he is with another woman in a sexual way...she tempts him a touch, to understand his limits...I might decide not to blend with you at all, I may switch off...you have my permission just once, so has he, thus it is not adultery...is this all right with you? If I feel you can do this on your own, and I pull back, and let your will do it all?"

"Yes, but I don't know exactly what to do when the feeling comes over me", Melanie glanced at Darth and Russell busy talking on the other end of the top level of this stage.

"Darth will know because he will feel I and you are one and the same - you just relax and respond as you want...it is your will...only a female will can form sexual imagery of the kind required...sense what the man wants, let him, even if in ordinary life it is something you might not...ever do...just relax, trust the man of faith with you, near you", Helen explained.
