The Way of Kings

Chapter 2, A Victory
 

The intention of this novel is to convey the nature and techniques of advanced telepathy. The struggle begins...a war is waged...but the war is in you and you must overcome No matter what obstacles come, in the end, if you have my spirit in you which is the seed of eternal life You are no longer dependent on the physical body to live, and you will live for many transitions of life Think of your future life when burdens are many in this life, and have hope that I have overcome the world of the flesh. From the Natural Telepaths own version of the Gospels, attributed to the Holy Spirit.

                                   
                             Helen glanced at Darth, smiled, turned to Lisa and smiled, "no, love,
                             let our will be done, our statisticians say over one million people now know
                             and understand the nature of Natural Telepaths and the new gospels. Planet Earth
                             is in travail, love, like a woman in labor. A new and better, in our opinion, men and
                             women will be born - more caring, more compassionate, more sincere in their dealings
                             even in business. Your father has done a mighty work, the sheer scale of what he
                             achieved may not become apparent for hundreds of years to come."


In their mind a splendid vision of an oval, night, bright lights. Darth as a man was standing in the center. Lisa in her usual yellow dress was standing near, in her hand a circular ring of red flowers. Darth had a burden in his heart. He turned to Lisa, flowing, "I wish this had not taken place but it had. The fact about myself being a super psychic and part of a community of psychics is beyond understanding by most natural people - and yet there seemed no choice but to admit to this. Even my own family (in ordinary life) is upset about such an admission."

Lisa hesitated, then gave a curtsy, then stepped closer and handed her telepathic father the flowers. "No dad", she shook her head and pointed to herself and then at others, "we are your true family. Your ordinary life family belongs to a different world, to the world of the flesh, not spirit. The spirit can not be intimidated or threatened by human concepts of laws and their police forces, but the flesh is easy prey to legal tactics and professional intimidation passing as legal maneuvers."

A woman in a white, bridal-like dress, stepped forward and gave a slight curtsy. "My lord, if I may be so bold as to explain - I feel and sense, awareness and sense psychic am I - your pull, your personal magnetism and charm in regards to truth in law, in regards to corruption in the Australian legal system in particular but by extension worldwide, is drawing the masses to you. I feel new telepathy channels linked to you from ordinary people who see in you another shining light of the world. These are silent telepathy channels, the person knows this not, but they are real, very real channels. By now you have more wealth and power and prestige among the masses than anyone can fathom or imagine. By your will, matters are being done by so many."

Lisa was holding Darth's hand and swaying on the spot as she studied the woman who was speaking. Lisa was now twelve and Darth felt a touch awkward when Lisa held his hand in this way (unless she made her mental image smaller), but Lisa did not mind and quite liked it. "Your name please", Lisa asked the woman who spoke.

"Anol, young Majesty", the woman gave Lisa a curtsy as she flowed her name.

"I wonder what she means by wealth?", Darth flowed privately to Lisa knowing she could not possibly mean money because this was certainly not the case.

Lisa glanced at Darth but decided not to interrogate the woman.

Many men and women began to imagine themselves in this setting. Darth noticed five Mullah's from an Iranian Islamic Life in the Spirit. These were not the ruling class in that country - on the contrary, most would have had such serious confrontation with the ruling Mullah's that their very life was in continual danger. Darth, now in his Darth Vader outfit, stepped to these and flowed as they made a bow, "men like you I envy, for I have no such courage as you have. While it is so that I do take on the Australian legal system and establishment, in my country this is relatively safe personally for all concerned, causes stress not real serious consequences. But your courage, friends, I do admire and will admit am too much of a coward to teach my own telepathic children this. I want them to stand for what they believe in, and grow to be individuals and proud of this, not to conform to any social norm they do not personally feel is part of their individuality."

"May Allah bless you", one of men in black Islamic outfit gave a flow and a bow.

Amy, standing near Jarah, both in their usual style dresses, turned to Jarah and mused, "I don't know if dad is all that keen on his own Father blessing him - that usually means trouble in ordinary life."

Jarah nodded, suppressing a smile.

One of the Iranian Mullahs suddenly flowed strongly, "as Allah is my witness, I have seen a miracle."

Darth glanced at the man, then flowed privately to Jarah and Amy, "I don't know if Mohammed would approve Islam depending on miracles for their passion for God."

Jarah suppressed a smile and turned her head down. Amy too suppressed a smile and put her hand to her mouth to indicate this.

"Your Majesty", one of the Iranian Mullahs stepped to Darth and took him aside, "may I speak to you? I am in a position to...to...eliminate...one of the ruling Mullahs, a hypocrite who sentences men to death for adultery. Is it right to take life?"

"Not for you, it is not right", Darth smiled, "for while I sympathize with you, and would perhaps be inclined to pull the trigger myself at such a hypocrite, let not blood spill on your hands. Men and women with conscience are not able to take human life, no matter how right it may seem to do so."

"Thank you", the Mullah gave a type of Arabic bow in which he also moved his hand from his forehead to his stomach. Then he walked away to ponder on this with his small Islamic Life in the Spirit.

"Why is it wrong to take life?", Jarah asked.

"Life is not ours to give or take", Darth replied, "and from all kinds of life, even the most despicable criminal by human standards, something useful can come about if they are allowed to live. Not always, but it can. That is what I believe. The only exception is the mother who kills her young children - that is mother nature at work, a natural instinct too complex for us to understand. The only other exception is self-defense but that is such a heavy burden on the conscience to live with."

Helen, in the setting in her usual image with flowing blond hair, on her head the symbolic Crown of Andromeda, wearing a light long dress, suddenly felt a "pregnancy" (spiritual kind) and in the image she now looked like a woman nine months pregnant. She came to Darth, even with one hand supporting her back as pregnant women might do, and took his hand and they sat down.

"How many pregnancies have I had with you? I lost count and most hurt and most babies need so much time and effort to look after", Helen said.

"Sorry", Darth gave her stomach a pat.

"Don't be sorry, I am your wife", Helen replied, "it is just so often....gees."

The birth Helen was referring to was to a "group feeling" (or "spirit" in Jewish Life in the Spirit terms) that would flow from the womb and in so doing redefine a new telepathic channel making other avenues of telepathy possible. Often this also involved one or two people, adults, suddenly experiencing telepathy for the first time and this can be a worrying time.

Helen was leaning against Darth, thinking, then she said, "the first hundred were Jews, but then came all sorts, from all walks of life. The reason is that Internet telepathy site. All it takes is for one bona fide psychic to read the first few Chapters of our novel and they know truth and reality instantly. A feeling forms in them which flows into my womb. Also others, I suspect, even those rarely before gave telepathy or psychics a second thought. And theologians, of all kinds, they hook onto the Chapters as if God in person was teaching them new and wonderful things."

"In the case of theologians of course...", Darth was about to explain but Helen turned quickly and gave him a kiss, shook her head, "no, don't state the obvious, people are not that simple or blind."

Lisa came and sat down next to Helen, patted her stomach, and said as she smiled and looked into Helen's eyes, "can I do that sometimes?"

"No", Helen looked at her sternly, "it is not a game, it is not fun, it is pain and hard work."

"Mum, you seem to love giving birth", Lisa protested and placed her hands on her hips as she challenged Helen.

"I do not mind", Helen replied using a soft "mother love" flow, "but I don't want it to happen this often."

"You could tell dad to remove our Internet site for a while, give you a chance to rest from your labor", Lisa said.

Helen glanced at Darth, smiled, turned to Lisa and smiled, "no, love, let our will be done, our statisticians say over one million people now know and understand the nature of Natural Telepaths and the new gospels. Planet Earth is in travail, love, like a woman in labor. A new and better, in our opinion, men and women will be born - more caring, more compassionate, more sincere in their dealings even in business. Your father has done a mighty work, the sheer scale of what he achieved may not become apparent for hundreds of years to come."

"Dad did not do this alone", Lisa smiled and feeling happy and content leant against Helen.

Harla, in her usual white top and knee long black pleated skirt, came over and literally dragged Lisa away and sat herself down next to Helen, leaning against her, patting her mother's tummy.

"That was childish!", Lisa protested.

Harla turned to Lisa and poked her tongue out, flowing privately, "she is my mother too, not just yours."

A great multitude had gathered in this setting, of many cultures, of many colors. Rebecca in her school like dress came over and leant and whispered to Darth, "father, they are expecting you to make a speech...like a sermon."

"Do I have to?", Darth glanced around at the multitude.

"Please do", Rebecca said softly and stood back.

Darth stood up and imagined his all black Darth Vader outfit and walked to the center. His flow deep, noble, majestic.

"Respect life. Judge not, for with the judgment you pronounce so you shall be judged. Walk among my people. Feed the hungry, tend to the poor. Ignore what you do not understand but always listen to reason. Be not swayed by status, prestige, wealth, when forming an opinion about a person. Ignore rumors about a person. Respect a person for how she or he is with you. Natural Telepaths have a genetic memory when their thoughts go deep. That means all that other first-born males have done, is also a part of me, and it can seem to me that I was Moses, or Jesus, as our own myths and legends say about those two men. For this reason perhaps I may sound like Jesus, or Moses, sometimes, but in such cases my thoughts arise from the depths of my being. Aspire to a Faith Marriage for you are a people in the spirit and belong to the world of the spirit, and only in the spirit a fitting partner can you find. When you accept a Faith Marriage, from that time your physical spouse or children, if you have any, no longer belong to you in the sense that your spouse of the faith is your true companion in the spirit, not your spouse in ordinary life or your children in ordinary life. It is up to your spouse in the spirit, and yourself, if both of you choose to remain in the state you were called or whether you opt to leave, separate, from your physical spouse and live together with the wife or the husband of the faith.  I place no burden on you in this."

Lisa had listened attentively and now focused her thoughts on Helen. When Helen glanced, Lisa gave a cute curtsy and explained, "dad means you, mum, as his wife of the faith." As Lisa said this a real life memory of what Helen looked like in ordinary life flashed into Lisa's mind.

Helen put a finger on her lips, flowing quietly to Lisa, "for your eyes only...let others see only when ready."

"I understand", Lisa indicated by standing neatly with hands clasped behind and a bow of the head.
