Strength

Chapter 2, A Wedding

The intention of this novel is to convey the nature and techniques of advanced telepathy.

Those I charge to be my warriors, shall do so with pride...

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

                                   
Over subsequent days and nights, Mary had learnt to interact with some Jewish Rabbis. Since Mary accepted being the soul of the virgin Mary, she desired to understand what a Jewish woman 2000 years ago might have been like. For this reason Darth suggested the Jewish Holy Ways to help, and in fantastic and splendid visions in the mind Mary walked among three Rabbis, in settings which may well have been much like Ancient Jerusalem, she learning, getting a feel for, what Mary the mother of Jesus might have been like.

The Quakers Life in the Spirit they have found consisted of about twenty men and five women. In Catholic Life in the Spirit, in Jewish Life in the Spirit, and among Natural Telepaths, women outnumbered the men about five or ten to one, but in Islamic Life in the Spirit this was the other way around, and so too it seemed among this Quakers Life in the Spirit group.

What the group was most interested in was what Natural Telepaths had done in Australia. It was becoming common knowledge than in reprisal for a court order against a psychic, the Natural Telepaths executed all Magistrates, Judges, and police officers, using their mind technology. This was a psychic execution, a technique of killing the ability to die a simple death resulting in the person wandering as a ghost on a planet for hundreds or thousands of years. To less enlightened minds this might sound far fetched, but to those who had experienced high level of awareness across the telepathic plane, this was not make-believe but a distinct possibility.

In a setting much like what a court might look like, Darth as a man was explaining to the male and female Quakers around him. "The Natural Telepaths do not like human beings much...these to the psychics are selfish, ego centered, concerned about making money, ignoring the problems of others, basically an animal life-form...by this I mean the Natural Telepaths do not have anything much to do with humanity or their systems..but when picked on or threatened by their laws and law enforcers, the psychics had promised to retaliate. The mind technology of the Natural Telepaths is probably more deadly than nuclear weapons, but of course it works in invisible ways."

Darth projected into the group's minds some Magistrates in Sydney, Australia, explaining, "a J Cetty from Blacktown...wave a $10,000 before Cetty, and Cetty will ignore the evidence of four police officers that no incident of any kind has taken place and will sign an AVO isolating a woman from her family. In this case the plaintiff has to purchase a court order because his intention is to legally steal the woman's house. She has advanced dementia and isolating her from her family means she will forget her family, as happens with dementia victims, and will only know the person who has access to her. After a few months the plaintiff gets a medical report, for about $5000, saying the woman has "testimony capacity" and has created a new will leaving all her estate to him. This form of stealing appears common in Australia. And this one", Darth projected another image, "a G Gohnson of Parramatta Local Court. This one in 2005 admitted before a packed court he know how much danger he placed a woman in by signing an AVO but "I don't care" was his response. These pieces of human shit are protected by mindless men and women called police, and they steal using the law, they destroy people using the law, and no one can stop them because there are no real controls over pieces of human shit who want to sit on judgment of others with their laws."

Darth waited until the information sank in and continued, projecting some Magistrates in Campbelltown and Liverpool, naming each one, also showing the houses they lived in. "These pieces of human shit have a favor system with local lawyers, firms such as Parsdens. When a person asks Parsdens to wait a month or so to be paid for a service, Parsdens ignores this and rushes off to their mates the Magistrates and organizes a hearing claiming a person is refusing to pay. The objective is to get themselves an additional money between $3000 and $5000 in legal costs awarded. The favor system between Magistrates and Judges and larger groups of lawyers is so obvious, so blatant, and all about stealing from those who can least afford it. All such pieces of human shit are protected by the police - for this reason all police officers in Australia have been blasted by telepathic mind technology...they are all insane now in the spirit, and in time this will slowly come out. Mindless men and women who wear guns and parade about threatening people with their laws are no friends of Natural Telepaths."

One male in the audience looked about and said, "no friends of Quakers either!"

This brought a flow like a cheer from the audience.

Darth waited until this information sank in, and continued. "My work with St. Vincent's de Paul brings me with contact with masses of families who can barely feed or clothe themselves. But they can not steal, cause if they do, the mindless police force will come in numbers and throw them in prisons. This is a crime of the police against humanity as far as the psychics are concerned, and another reason why we gladly took the opportunity to fire our mind weapons at a specific target. The psychics have long understood the science of phantoms and ghosts, but we lacked a controlled psychic pit to test our theories and ideas. An opportunity came. The arrogant and boastful and corrupt legal system in Australia had threatened a psychic with a court order - all state and federal politicians, most police commanders, were told plainly to call the piece of shit off, the Magistrate in question, or the psychics will retaliate. They did not understand of course, all such animals understand is the power of their guns and money, they don't care about psychic terror, it is fiction to them. Their aim in life is to get themselves massive superannuation payouts, to spend money which is not theirs on overseas trips - indeed, recently a Premier in NSW just before stepping down spend $100,000 of taxpayers money on a trip to India. Politicians in Australia are scum, useless, vain, Ego centered, but they need the legal system to protect their kind, their wealth, from the people. The mindless police force, and you can always find simple men and women who for enough money will put a gun by their side and threaten others with their organization and guns, the Australian police protects human shit of this kind continually. For this they have finally paid an ultimate price - mass execution the psychic way."

Darth waited, allowed the information to sink in, and continued. "The adults among the psychics have also decided to allow our children to test whatever they wanted, with Australian police officers the main targets of psychic attacks. One small group of children identified a child in Australia who had died from hunger, and in response killed one of the richest men in the country. The Natural Telepaths have decided our world shall have a new law - for each child in the world that dies of hunger or lack of medical services, the wealthiest male or female shall not only be sent beyond the grave, but shall also be put to death in the body. The psychic children are testing and exploring how best to enforce this law. Anyone who wants to stop us, is executed by us and made a part of the psychic pit. As you may notice from what I have explained, Gentlemen and Ladies present, the community of psychics is a terror to those who bear arms, to those who take oaths to human institutions, to those who make greed their primary aim in life, to those who want to force others to behave in accordance with man made laws. We are no friends of any government, of any legal and political system, and when an opportunity comes along as it did in Australia, we jump at the chance. Our weapons can cause mass physical death also, but we refrain from this because the consequences of for example killing all police officers in Australia in one go - are horrendous to contemplate in the sense of what will the world make of this, what will they understand, what sort of panic and havoc would this cause in society. But - the psychics do not attack unless attacked. As much as we would love to, I feel, use our mind technology on other countries - more deserving countries even - we can not, not until a psychic is threatened with a legal deed, only then do we retaliate."

Darth paused. Bonnie, who imagined herself standing outside a wooden barrier, opened the barrier and came to Darth, put her arms around him as if she was already intimate with the man she hardly knew, and said softly as she stroked his hair, "love...your words are the words of an angel...your kind (i.e. the Natural Telepaths) have the courage and the strength to be gods of the world...my people", she looked about at the Quakers present, "do not lack courage in such matters either...if you look up the history of Quakers you might find our kind fought against slavery and many abominations...let us assist please...we have no quarrel with Australian police but we accept you as the Holy Spirit, and your word binds our visions, and our will - your enemies become our enemies - so allow us to assist."

The imagery changed, because Mary who was attune to the court scene desired a change, to a large field, in the vision a sense of ancient Jerusalem, and many men and women sat in the field, and the Quakers also at the front - the images cartoon-like and small because there was so many. Darth stood in his Darth Vader suit. Mary by his side holding a tray of food. Mary, using the inner light in her, managed to force her telepathic father to be "as one with God" in this setting. Darth flowed using a deep majestic flow, "I am the Lord your God. My word binds. My word does not return to me empty. To the thirsty I give water without price from the fountain of life. I touch only those whose spirit calls to me. Spirit is life, flesh is death. I refrain from interfering with natural evolution, not a good word but I choose to use it now and then, because such is my way. On each planet where I am known, there comes a time when the planet can evolve into a new transition of life. Simple planets like Earth, these I give no choice, and the time has come for massive telepathy to become a norm of life. With this, all systems, be they political or legal or social, will change. Those who bear arms of any kind are enemies of all natural life. Those who want to enforce man made laws are enemies of natural life. The exception are laws the majority of the community votes for directly and accepts in their heart and spirit. Those who want to violate the sanctify of life as the spirit senses it, are always evil. I do not refer to women who desire abortion, that is their choice, an embryo is not life, but to those countries who want to kill so called criminals for stupid crimes such as drug carrying...drugs are a natural substance regardless of their perception, and those who want to deny people natural substances are the most vile of animal humans. Have no regret putting any of such to death using our techniques."

Darth paused. Mary set about walking among the crowd offering food from her plate. As she walked she flowed softly, "let us use the tongues of angels to fashion our plans. The will of God in this generation is the will of the Natural Telepaths, and their will is set to test their weapons in Australia. These are already being tested. It may take them thirty years to be certain how effective their mind technology is...but my people, the Quakers, shall do things quicker."

Mary returned to stand by her telepathic father and using her special and unique talent caused his spirit to separate from being as one with God, and asked Darth to explain about matters to do with faith.

Darth flowed to the audience as he paced among them. "Let each group of believers cherish those matters that gives them courage in spirit and faith. For example", Darth turned and pointed to nine year old Stephanie who stood neatly in a golden dress, she standing with some of the other children, listening. "Stephanie is a child of Jehovas Witnesses. She shall be their guide as she grows older. That group has some beliefs I consider so foolish and irrelevant - but each to his own, faith is also a personal matter. Some rituals and traditions are highly individual, and will give strength to one, and will not have much of an effect on another. Each man and woman and sometimes child must find their own path. Allow each major Life in the Spirit community to develop in accordance with their faith, their capability, their inner convictions. Not a critical issue, such differences in beliefs and traditions."

Mary, sensing questions among her kind, turned and whispered to Darth. Darth looked about and flowed, "yes, in ordinary life I am a Catholic...in Life in the Spirit so is my telepathic family...but there are issues to do with the Catholic Church which are a burden to the soul...the Spanish Inquisition for example, or the lack of courage the church had shown in helping Jews during World War II...human institutions even when guided by the Holy Spirit are not perfect because the spirit does not force itself upon a person, but allows a person to naturally adapt and tune into the spirit. I could speak of mysteries from the depth of the universe but if you are not willing to listen, you will not learn anything. Have faith in the religious institution you are a part of, pray that in time its members shall be closer to God, their souls refined in preparation for a life beyond flesh."

Bonnie, who was standing by Darth by this time, in her hand a white flower symbolic of her willing to share her spirit with the man by her side and the group, locked Darth's mind and some of the others, and imagined an old village and a house or hall and she walked inside with Darth as a man. "Our house?", she said softly, "mine and yours...as a wife...given I will consummate this union...I feel my kind, the Quakers, though not large in numbers but as you have seen large in the spirit, need confidence they are interacting with their own kind...and this little romantic village, I have seen in Germany once on my travels, I took to it, this shall be the setting that belongs to the Quaker Life in the Spirit. May it be so?"

"Sure", Darth replied as he looked about this bare and old-fashion looking large room in this meeting hall.

Bonnie felt a pang of labor pain. For a moment she imagined herself as a pregnant woman. She stepped to Darth, put her arms around his neck, "I wish you did not have other wives...but...no matter...not important...I like being close to the Holy Spirit. It seems God has put you in charge of the world."

Caressing her hair, on her head a bonnet but her hair long and flowing, Darth replied sincerely, "I am as one with Life itself...my Father is Life, Life itself...I have no need to be King, to be Lord, to be poor, to be rich...my glory I give to none other is the motto of the first-born among the Natural Telepaths...the sense of life itself is so strong in me I desire nothing more than to be forever close to the source of life itself."

"I understand", Bonnie leant against him, placing her head on his shoulder, looking through the windows at the distant fields and bare earth. She whispered gently, "you have changed the world...for the better...the rest is mechanics...and your warriors are growing every day. I too am your warrior."

"Come walk outside with me", she said after a while, taking his hand, and the two walked outside. Mary followed. Leaning against him, Bonnie was pointing to trees and fields and flowing, "Mary has the ability to silence your thoughts...as your brain relaxes, the imagery I want you to see springs into your mind's eye. Quaker Life in the Spirit is...is...more like Jewish I suppose...women as a group learn to blend into one another...Mary in a sense is my child in ordinary life, this I know without a doubt, but she is also a spirit-being in all the Quaker women....the men are more individual."

"Does sound a very Jewish Life in the Spirit technique", Darth replied.

"Father", Mary rushed to be in front of them, and she stood neatly with hands clasped behind, "in this Life in the Spirit, I do not want sisters...I want to be your only daughter and this my only mother", Mary pointed to Bonnie.

"What if your mother", Darth pointed to Bonnie, "gives birth to a child?"

"That's all right", Mary decided, "but I want to feel special, your sole daughter, for as long as I can."

"She loves you already", Bonnie smiled at Darth as Mary turned and began to walk in front of them.

Bonnie changed the setting back to the large wooden room. Darth and Mary also in the image. The clothes Bonnie wore reminded Darth of 18th century fashion - but it was clear Bonnie had a fine figure. She took a coat off and placed it on the table and called Darth over to a door, and opened it to show him a bedroom. The style of the bed reminded Darth of an antique. "I have a question", Bonnie held the handle of the door and glanced where Mary stood, hoping Mary would not hear, "when we do have sex in this bedroom...how will this work? Quaker Life in the Spirit does not do that...because it is a group effect...when you and I do..will every man imagine making love to me?"

"I don't know", Darth replied as he stood in the doorway focusing into the bedroom, "there is only way to find out...we have to try it eventually and ask others what they saw."

"How embarrassing", Bonnie said and walked into the bedroom, sat herself down on the edge of the bed. Darth came closer and sat himself down next to her. Seeing the door left open, Mary also came into the bedroom and sat herself next to Bonnie, putting her hand around her upper arm and learning against her.

"As I have discerned from the inner light in me", Bonnie said to Darth, "with you among us...each Life in the Spirit is to learn to prepare for a transition of life...we are to accept marriage in the spirit, between a man and a woman, and a man can have more than one wife or a woman more than one husband."

"Yes...it becomes more clear with each passing year what the spirit seeks from us", Darth replied.

Bonnie stood up, thinking, "well, in that case, the most important first step, certainly for a woman, to know, to feel, without a doubt, who her husband in Life in the Spirit is. I suggest my group, this group, must first decide on what a proper marriage ceremony is."

"It is called a Sacrament in Catholic Life in the Spirit", Mary pointed out.

"Yes, well, Quakers are not into Sacraments", Bonnie replied, "but it is special to a woman...any wedding is."

Mary stood and took Bonnie into the other large room, and closed the door. "Mum", Mary said ever so quietly, "this group entwining effect...I blend with you too even though I am also a single person...if you make love to dad...will I too be aware?"

"I hope not but we don't know the answer yet", Bonnie caressed Mary's hair, "even if, perish the thought but it could happen, even if, somehow, you might feel you are doing it...please understand this is new to us, it is not intentional. It is only required once really...Life in the Spirit is a journey of faith, of expansion of an inner light, of searching the depths of God. This sex aspect is only to consummate a marriage, so a man and a woman have confidence they accepted one another as partners for life. Apparently, as Helen explained to me, now and then a man and woman also have a natural need to do this, to come together in this way, but it is not such an important feature of a marriage in the spirit."

"I understand, and I am a big girl, I can cope with accidents", Mary shrugged, "don't worry about me."

Mary, a touch confused, imagined the vision of the cave and the angel and rushed to the angel and whispered into his ear. In response the words in white formed, "you may". Mary, pleased, clapped her hands and faded the vision.

Mary then imagined "her room" in the house Bonnie decided on. Her room she imagined on the side of the house and large but the inner furniture antique like the rest of the house. She imagined sitting on the bed and calling Darth over.

"Dad", she made him sit on the bed and she went to the door, "the rules are...if I have my door closed then please do not try to link with me using telepathy...a curtsy...mum will not try either...but you can knock and wait", she left the door open and rushed back to the bed, sat on the edge near Darth, leant against him, flowing softly, "because I am fourteen...and well versed in Quaker Life in the Spirit...I asked my angel if I may be a wife as well as Bonnie...it seemed to me this is proper...in you the Holy Spirit...I do not wish to accept any other man in the spirit as my husband no matter how old I am...would you mind?"

"By wife...what do you mean exactly?", Darth was curious.

"Exactly that", Mary said matter of fact, "a wife...a woman...even if sometimes...you know...I don't mind, its only telepathy and the visual faint."

"I am not sure about that part", Darth replied, sensing what she was hinting at. "There is no need...the relationship that form across the telepathic plane, between a mother and son, and father and daughter, are most natural, rewarding, a special feeling develops...there is no need to...to...mess things up."

"Yes, I sense this", Mary stood up but she was determined and as she paced about she explained, "but I also sense the will of God...I am...a virgin, sure, at my age...and a virgin must give birth to the spirit of Jesus as I understand...you see what I am getting at?"

She sat down, her big wide eyes looking curiously at Darth.

Darth excused himself and went to the next room, the big room, where Bonnie sat on a chair with a needle and a white cloth and sowing while two Quaker males in their black top hats and old garments sat on chairs in this room. Darth sat next to Bonnie, "I am not sure Mary is...is...completely understanding this...this...particular Life in the Spirit." HE went on to explain what he sensed Mary was suggesting or hinting at.

"Not a problem", Bonnie replied, "she can blend with me if she has to do that for some reason...she is Holy in her own right, let us not question that special child too much. I have spoken with these two elders", she pointed to the two men, "and they have agreed to form a setting which will be a Quaker marriage in Life in the Spirit. They will approve Mary, because to them she is actually of age in our custom, to also be a wife."

"All right", Darth smiled and imagined being with Mary in her room again, sitting next to her, saying, "but before you decide to do something so bold and adult...talk it over with Helen...you are a telepathic child now...my telepathic daughter, and Helen's, and among us until you are twenty-one any form of sexual telepathy, even holding hands with a boy, is against tradition."

"What is she going to do?", Mary said, "put me over her knee?"

"She can cause terror beyond anything I can explain", Darth replied, "she is a Natural Telepath and her power of mind is strong."

"All right, I take this warning seriously", Mary put her hand around Darth's upper arm and leant against him, "but I am still in favor of you accepting Bonnie and myself as one wife...because of the way Quaker's blend in the spirit, it seems the only sensible way of doing this."

"All right, I don't mind, whatever the consequences for you", Darth replied - his reply made Mary laugh, "sure, dad, ever so brave in such matters...consequences for me eh?"

For the next few hours Darth imagined sitting next to Bonnie. Flows of feelings were taking place, not words, not thoughts, just feelings. Darth noticed that she was helping some of his own deep feelings to become more at peace...he enjoyed this, made him feel like this woman was his wife.

"When I was young", Bonnie said after much time, "I would get into a state when thinking about the horrors and injustices of this world...I could get so angry...I had to learn to cope...I can help you...the spirit in you is eternal, it senses and discerns from all the souls of the planet, and it has taken much anger into itself...as we flow feelings like this, I sense and feel I am good for you, my spirit is appeasing yours."

"That's true", Darth nodded, "Helen could not achieve this, Lisa-1 could not, Lana could not...but you seem to be able to."

Bonnie leant forward, touched his lips with hers, "that's because, dear, I have accepted you as my husband...to the other three women you are...like a professional husband...to me, it is personal with me...I have a good husband in ordinary life and am a good wife so I feel...I will be such a wife to you in the spirit. And how often do we do this? If we are to imitate ordinary life to learn about a new life, sometimes we ought to eat a meal together, you and me and Mary, in this setting, sometimes sleep together, go for walks, or just sit and talk, and sometimes we will gather as a group. And we must invent some festivities and celebrations."

All this time the two elders were in the vision, sitting on chairs, still and quiet. Darth was impressed and curious how they managed to do that.

"Ah, it is our training and teaching", Bonnie replied, "we know how to pray in silence. But listen...the Quakers are warriors by nature...the Catholics might speak of social justice but Quakers pursue such matters with vigor...my group wants to be in on the action in Australia...to them it is a Holy Mission. We are believers...and we sense in you the spirit of truth, the spirit of eternity, the spirit of the almighty...say what you want from us, and we organize, and we do, we do not lack courage."

"You decide, my lady", Darth replied as he glanced at the two elders with heads lowered as if dozing.

"Oh no", Bonnie put her needlework on the table and stood and took Darth aside to a corner of the room or hall, "I am not Helen...I am a wife not a commander...you make the decisions."

Darth studied her for a long time. The vision was not that strong as yet, he could only barely make out her features, but she struck him as most attractive. Then he called Mary over, and he explained to Bonnie and Mary, "well...our mind technology has been active over Australia for two years and it is working perfectly...in the next few years the visual cortex, the logical cortex that the brain puts into place, will begin to disintegrate in most Australian police officers. The brain is fine, it is the logical structures which break down. When this happens, sleep flees, and in the mind fragments of visions that can not be shaken away. When this happens, those hit will know without a doubt they have been hit as promised by psychic weapons. They will search for an explanation. As they do, a part of their thoughts will begin to come into telepathy mode. Some of these police officers will be snatched by Jewish telepathy groups...the Natural Telepaths and the Jews have this agreement, a friendship, an ally contract, in place. The Jews need such for their management teams. The others will be hit by psychic children with the dimension of sounds, a pseudo-dimension that attaches itself like a virus to life-forms that can no longer die in the spirit. The rest, let your group carefully prepare steps by which they became as one with your group. That is my suggestion."

"Is that your order dad?", Mary asked.

"I hate giving orders", Darth replied, "you are both intelligent women, you two can make a decision."

"But we are also old-fashioned in the spirit", Mary pointed to the antique furniture and the garments of the two elders, "and it is for men to make some decisions...is that an order, father, please say yes if you want us to plan this way."

"Yes, I have gained enough confidence in your unique Life in the Spirit to trust you with this task", Darth replied, "in my opinion, most police officers are decent and fine people, but they are servants of atrocious systems in some countries...focus on the person, not what they do, as you lift them into the spirit."

"Yes, my Lord", Mary replied with a most proper curtsy.

"All right, I do and will", Bonnie nodded and gave a sight. Darth, thinking Bonnie did not altogether approve, walked with her to the chairs and as she sat down he sat down next to her, "you don't completely agree?"

"I don't completely understand", Bonnie replied with a soft smile, "on the one hand the Natural Telepaths have crucified one country's police force...on the other you want to spare them a fate worse than death, on the grounds that as individuals many are probably decent people. This seems a conflict of interest. Those who bear arms, as police do, and take oaths, as police do, what have such people to do with the kingdom of heaven?"

"I honestly do not know", Darth replied after some soul searching, "but...if a man or woman understands their offense against humanity...and seeks forgiveness...that seems to me acceptable, if such a person is genuine."

"That's better", Bonnie said with a smile. She knew she had put her new husband under considerable pressure with her observation, but was pleased the way in which he resolved it.

Darth excused himself and walked outside. By the long wooden hut a long seat and he sat down, leant against the house, feeling most perplexed by what had happened. The observation Bonnie had made had caused in him such a deep internal reflection he felt exhausted. Mary came outside and walked to him, sat down, leant against him, "Bonnie is not a bad wife, is she? I feel you approve of her ever so much."

"A wife like that can put a man under so much pressure", Darth replied, "but in such a way a man would not consider another wife as better."

"I understand such things already", Mary nodded, "my mum and dad in ordinary life do that often, but they love one another deeply...mum can put dad under so much pressure, or dad mum, but its a pressure which helps to refine the soul and spirit."

Bonnie also walked outside. She looked pleased with herself. She sat down by Darth, on the ground, and put her arms across his legs and her face on her arms and she looked at him, "I feel that if you did not have other wives already, and you met me, even though we only walked in the spirit the last three days, you would seriously consider dating me with a view to marriage."

"I think so, yes", Darth replied.

"That's what I wanted to hear", Bonnie replied and rested her head sideways on her arms on Darth's legs.

Bonnie stood up, took Darth's hand, led him into the house and into the bedroom. She made him lay down and she laid down next to him, sideways to him. "Explain to me about Helen. She is your first wife in the spirit, in a way she is your only true wife...God has given you both the ability to go back in time, to almost be there, to see the history of His people...and into the future, to understand the implications of a massive change as telepathy will bring about. Your love for her, I felt, is deep. I hope in time you will feel like that about me."

Darth studied the woman with him. He could still not see the vision crystal clear, she was still rather faint. "I hope", he said after a while, "that beneath that 18th century garment there is a woman's figure."

Bonnie shook her head, imagined giving him a gentle slap, "for a Holy Spirit you are such a macho male. Yes, you will not be disappointed. Telepathic sex is new to Quakers...it is not what our Life in the Spirit is about...I don't know, I think no one ever thought of it...neither right or wrong between consenting adults but I may not be so good at it, just give me a chance. No rush."

"No rush", Darth put his hand around her shoulders as she leant her head against him.

For the next few hours the vision remained much like this. Bonnie was sharing feelings with Darth, taking the negative feelings from him, flowing to him positive ones. More and more he felt "married" to her - and he had only known her a few days! Whatever secret she was using, perhaps recalling special and intimate moments with her husband in ordinary life, was resulting in her being able to flow soft and feminine and tender feelings to the man, feelings that made him desire her more and more...not as a woman, but as a wife.

Being finely attune to his feelings, Bonnie lifted her head from his torso and said, "love, I am a woman too, I have not forgotten how to be a woman...I can use sensual flows of this I am sure...sexual flows...our marriage in the spirit shall be a proper marriage. My only concern is Mary - because of the technique we use, to what extent our sex can be private affair, I don't know, and she is not an adult and even if she was, I would prefer the bedroom to be completely private."

"In time, we will secure this so it will be", Darth replied, "my faith says so...for now...she is mature, intelligent, and she just will have to cope if...if...somehow...she entwines with you."

"Yes, and I know she will cope", Bonnie replied as she rested her head on his torso again.

Mary had tried to block the image of her spiritual parents in thebedroom but found she could not. This troubled her, and she formed the vision of the cave again with the angel standing by it. This time the two elders were in the vision also, they standing neatly with their long top hats in their hands. Mary rushed to her angel and whispered into his ear, and then came back and explained to the two elders, "the angels says I am of a sexually mature age...but I am only fourteen...why in human laws is a girl considered a child until sixteen?"

The two elders exchanged glances, the one sat on a boulder and replied, "well...it is an age, I suppose, at which most young girls are considered sexually mature...I am sure in some cases a mature fourteen year old is as sexually competent as a sixteen year old...but in general I would think its best to consider a girl sixteen before one assumes she can make up her own mind intelligently about such matters."

Mary sat down also, and imagined an ice-cream in her hand, she licking it, "yes, I suppose...the point being...there are so many more women than men in Life in the Spirit...if a girl like me finds a man...why should she allow an older women to steal him? Spiritual birth is a complex thing, a female womb takes into itself through a mystery feelings and thoughts and sensations from many, and this in the end gives birth to a part of the spirit that unites the group better...sexual telepathy, as Helen explained to me, is a simple way to cause the birth when it is time, else it is a long and painful labor for a woman. What matter age among us? I could imagine a man as seventeen years old...you understand, dad, what I am saying?"

"Yes, but I prefer young women choose as friends young men about their own age", the elder replied.

"Sure, I agree in principle", Mary nodded, "but in matters to do with Life in the Spirit, I feel I have every right to also be a wife to the man I found. My angel says I am of age."

The two elders exchanged thoughtful looks and reluctantly agreed, "if you so wish, we will approve you and Bonnie being as equal wives."

"I do so wish this!", Mary said, stood up, and gave each elder a kiss on the cheek.

The Mary faded this vision, focused on the bedroom setting with Darth and Bonnie laying on the bed, and she imagined rushing into the room and jumping on the bed and flowing, "it is done...the elders agree I can also be a wife...I want it this way...my angel says I am of age...that means you do not need to worry about me, mother, being aware of what you two do in the bedroom."

Bonnie slowly sat herself up, put her hand around Mary and embraced her, and explained to Darth, "she is my daughter in ordinary life and she has been aware of Life in the Spirit since she was about nine...and she is bright...and yes, she is very mature and I am not surprised her angel gave her the right of a sixteen year old to make a decision. We sometimes talk plainly about our in the spirit experiences, not just in code."

Then the imagery changed. The three imagined being in a hut. The sense of time was ancient Jerusalem. Bonnie imagined sitting at an old table with Darth, while Mary was standing then noticed a bed in a corner and went to it, bounced on it, "wow! I sense a lapse of time...2000 years ago...is this the hut Mary and Joseph lived in?"

"Aha", Darth replied.

Bonnie lapsed her head on the table, her face toward Mary, she flowing privately to her, "my God what have we found! Nothing seems impossible for this man."

Mary rushed to Darth, gave him a kiss, "I love you", she said and then rushed to a door and opened it, stepped outside. Bright light shone on the setting. Darth, in robes like a man might have worn in that period, walked outside with her. She was looking at a dirt track that led to this hut which seemed ever so small but somehow cozy. Some wooden pieces were leaning against the hut as well as what looked like a carpenter's work bench. On the left a garden but the soil seemed rather sandy and not very dark. It was not clear what grew in the garden. Mary, excited by the vision, moved to Darth and put her arms around his waist as she gazed and flowed, "dad...don't be silly about this...the spirit in me tells me it is a spirit like yours...I feel I could make you forget Helen, Lisa-1, Lana, Bonnie, and become your one and only companion. I want to be equal to Bonnie as a wife in the Quaker Life in the Spirit...please don't deny me this, please don't argue, you don't have to notice much, I have learnt to blend with an adult woman in a transparent way."

"I prefer you do blend with an adult, if you insist on this and I can not stop you", Darth replied.

"I insist", she looked up at him, "and you can not stop me - my spirit is the Holy Spirit as yours is, you know this by now - but I will honor your wish and blend with an adult when I need to be close to you in a woman's way."

Then, to Darth's surprise, Mary managed to form the spiritual image of the Temple in Ancient Jerusalem. In the Temple she stood in the white of a bride before a High Priest. She imagined Darth with her, and she and he listening to an old Rabbi reciting a traditional Jewish wedding blessing.

Mary's reason for all this was soon clear enough. Throughout the interactions, from time to time Darth sensed certain types of memories of his being locked onto, memories which gave the person to whom they flowed a feeling of what it was like to be God. Over and over this happened, and it simply meant more and more individual Quakers were coming online to this new Life in the Spirit group. That personal memory of Darth acted like a gateway, allowing only those whose spirit called his to be born in this new way, into a new revelation in the spirit.

"The numbers coming online are staggering!", Darth remarked to Mary as she still stood by him in the white of a bride.

"And I am not stupid and neither is my angel who forewarned me of this", Mary turned and flowed (she did wear a veil), her flow a most mature female flow, "I know what a spiritual birth is and the numbers of my people coming online will cause in me an enormous spiritual birth...I don't want to do that on my own, that is painful...now I have a right for you to help make the birth quicker and simpler."

As the vision of the Temple began to fade, Darth flowed to Mary, "explain all this to Helen...you can not do use your will on me if she blocks you."

"I will", Mary replied, "and I already have in the spirit and she gave permission if I needed to...and do I need too! With all those Quakers coming online to us, it is a massively powerful telepathy link they are forming...and by nature Quakers are warriors, not weak in fighting for what they believe in."

Mary locked Darth's thoughts in such a way that he imagined himself in his clothe on his double bed in his own house, and she (real-life image) sitting on the edge of the bed in her black and white apron front dress. "Dad...be serious...you can not block my spirit cause it is like yours...I could form sexual imagery right now and what could you do? Talk to me nicely...like a man who has married a young bride who is...is...virgin...innocent...naive...explain to me what a wedding night is."

Darth, finding it impossible to break from Mary's mental lock, forced the spirit in him to form the image of their number 1 telepathic house. He made Mary sit on the lounge while he took Helen aside and explained to her the matter.

Helen glanced at Mary and said quietly to Darth, "it could be a fantasy...its only telepathy...imagery can be dim...I sense her reason..many Quakers are coming online and into her womb their spirit flows, so she is the one who will give birth...and Quakers are not, as I understand, mild mannered worshippers...if they believe the Holy Spirit told them to slash the throat of every Australian police officer for threatening a psychic...they will not hesitate! Mary has every right to be cautious about her kind...she needs to give birth to a more...more...placid...type of Quaker Life in the Spirit. Leave this to me."

Helen came and sat by Mary and said, "Mary...I am a Jew also...Jewish women use an entwining principle...if you need to give birth in the spirit even at your age...you can entwine with me...I can make love to my husband...you would be aware but he will not be, he will just see and sense me...much easier for a man his age, not a nice thought for a man to think he is making love to a child."

"All right", Mary replied after some reflection, "sounds fair...I don't want to really, I want to have a daughter and father relationship with my new telepathic dad...but I just feel I might have to in order to give birth in the spirit."

"I understand", Helen gave Mary a hug, "how long have you been in Life in the Spirit?"

"Since about nine", Mary replied, "but yours is much more interesting!"
