The Way of Kings

Chapter 1, Acceptance
 
The intention of this novel is to convey the nature and techniques of advanced telepathy.

                                        

From the Natural Telepaths own version of the Gospels, attributed to the Holy Spirit.

                                   
A final awakening was upon them. In a strong visual setting Darth and Lana, neatly robed she in an elegant long gown, imagined half-sitting on a bed in an apartment. They cover on the bed satin cream and a golden Star of David on the cover. This was a Jewish Life in the Spirit setting, belonging to a Noble House (a Jewish telepathy group) known as The Way of Kings.

Darth a Roman Catholic in ordinary life, Lana a Muslim, and yet after a twenty year journey in the spirit (for Darth and others, half that for Lana or the same but she being much younger than Darth would have been in her early teenage years when the journey began) these two were accepted by the most powerful of all Jewish Noble Ways, accepted as "new Jews" in a sense and also as heads of the Natural Telepaths. The Way of Kings was based on themes of the lives of Kings and Queens, hence the two were being acknowledged by this ceremony as King and Queen of the Natural Telepaths.

The setting altered to their number 1 telepathy setting. In the lounge room Darth sitting at the low-coffee table, Lana leaning against him, on her waist long black hair the magnificent Crown of Andromeda, symbol of the Telepathic Queen. The Sun filtered into the room, she content, happy, pleased with this final understanding.

A scholar imagined sitting at the table, explaining to Darth, "your Majesty...if we stop thinking of Jewish telepathy techniques as telepathy channels, it might be easier to understand how they interact."

More and more among the combined ways Darth was being referred to "Majesty". He had become used to this among his own but the scholar was not a Natural Telepath but a Jewish scholar.

Sensing Darth's hesitation about being called this by non Natural Telepaths, Lana stroked his chest, flowing softly while kissing him gently, "don't mind...I admit...you are a fun kind of Holy Spirit...sometimes weird in an amusing way...but you are all right and respected...so someone wants to refer to you as a Majesty. No harm, perhaps even proper."

Darth and the scholar began to chew this over. Natural Telepaths had a fine knowledge of the science of telepathy and well defined definitions. The Life in the Spirit groups rarely understood what they could do was in fact telepathy in modern terms, consequently they lacked definitions to explain what they actually taught one another to do. The knowledge of how to interact in the spirit had been always passed from generation and generation, assumed a mystery from God, and not questioned much in regards to the "science" of how this worked.

Lisa imagined being in the setting in her usual yellow dress - then Lisa-2 also formed. Lisa-2 a Jewish girl who imagined she was Lisa, imitated her style and flows, and after a few years became bonded to Lisa. The two had worked well together, rather enjoying this new found blending technique.

"But mum", Lisa looked at her identical twin (in a sense) and crossed her arm, "she", Lisa pointed at her mirror image, "is starting to use these strong father-daughter flows, so quiet but so bonding, with dad...but I am the precious one."

"Oh no", Lana slumped her head against Darth, her left hand across and on his shoulder. Lana then turned to Lisa, "dear...grow up.."

Lisa instantly lowered her head in complete submission - a gesture that meant she was not going to listen to this.

Lana shook her head. "So for the next four hours I am going to cope with you two arguing who is the greater? I don't gave Helen's patience when two mature girls start squabbling like this."

"Her fault", Lisa lifted her head and pointed to her twin and slumped her head again.

Darth stood up and the scholar, the two deciding they might be better outside talking over their issue. Lana gave him a glare as he walked out, leaving her to cope with the two. As they moved toward the front of the house Darth put his hand over the Jewish scholar's opposite shoulder, flowing quietly, "welcome to married life among Natural Telepaths...now and then this is what happens especially between the girls. Only Helen managed to cope, admittedly sometimes in the end by telling them to grow up and mature or else, but Lana is taking over from Helen at a personal level so now its her challenge."

"Say no more", the Scholar mused as he wiped his brow with a white handkerchief, "I have two daughters of my own in my Noble House and my family."

In the main room Lana was swapping hands, a technique for setting a will, with both girls. Lana was slightly amused at this but also wanted to make sure both girls understood clearly her approach to child bearing in the spirit. "I don't have Helen's patience with what I consider small and petty squabbles...your telepathic father trusts and loves you both...you both have done something so clever and remarkeable...by forming this special bond between you...but don't pester or test me or torment me with arguments like that...I am not as cool as Helen."

After a time Lisa-1 marched to the sofa, sat down, crossed her arms. "But I am a Jew...that makes me more important than her."

Lana threw her hands up in the air. How was relevant to anything? She came over, sat by Lisa-1, put her arm around her shoulders, "how is that critical?"

"Because", Lisa-2 whispered in Lana's ear, "I know I am a real person...but Lisa is a Catholic...she is not online in the spirit in the same interactive way as I am. Catholics have this mystery among females...it could be two or ten women who share the burden of her in the spirit revelations."

Lisa came over, sat on the other side of Lana, "mum, what did she say? Is she complaining about me?"

"No", Lana said firmly to both, "Lisa-2 loves you as a special friend, and you love her. This little squabble is...annoying..and I am not as intelligent as Helen or Lisa-1...nor have their patience...and if you Lisa taught your mirror image to be as intelligent as you...then I am suspicious of both of you, or you common motive, when you start what seems to me a tiny squabble about nothing."

Lisa-2 leant forward, as did Lisa. Lisa-2 said to Lisa, "we have to talk this over diplomatically and logically."

Lisa nodded and turned to Lana, flowing thoughts as well as using hand gestures, "you see, mum, its like this. I am my dad's little angel, that is how I feel in my heart...I don't know how to...how to...not feel this...but I need to feel I alone am dad's favorite daughter. She", Lisa leant forward to see Lisa-2, "can not be like me...else I will confuse myself."

Lana actually understood this very well. "No problem, I know an Islamic submission technique that will reconcile you both to one another. Come with me", she stood and locking the girls will shifted them into an active Islamic Faith Path.
