Strength, Chapter 3

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

Whoever believes in his name shall not be put to shame.

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

The affinity, or union, or bond, whatever it was, between Darth and Mary was proving most useful. Deep in his spirit Darth held a special image, an image of a bright light and within an intense brightness like lightning. He used that image, that memory recall, to guide him when a matter arose in Life in the Spirit which required some most proper input from him. Mary it seems also held an image she used in a similar way, an image of the living Sun amid blackness. Darth's image was from the Holy Spirit, Mary's was from Jesus as far as she understood it. It was the connection between these two images that made Darth understand other things about his own spiritual journey. For example, an early image he had seen was like a room and inside large paper lanterns, spherical, hanging from the ceiling, each well lit presumably a source of light inside the lanterns. Many of these hung from the ceiling. It was a spiritual image, made of compact dots, but at the time Darth failed to understand what it conveyed or explained. He had forgotten all about it until now, twenty years later, as his soul was connecting with Mary. The memory of that image came back, and Mary too caught a glimpse, and she sensed what it meant sooner than he, she flowing softly, "dad, that's just Jesus trying to explain to you that there are many Life in the Spirit groups in his room - you know how he said in my Father's house there are many rooms, well, the room you saw was his and it is in his room that many Life in the Spirit groups belong."

Then Mary imagined being in their house setting, that old wooden hut in a village of such huts, and she standing by the door of her room and imagining Darth with her and she saying as she pointed to the door, "its like this...this is my room...and you would not barge in if my door was not open, you would respect my privacy, that is how you are...perhaps if you thought I was sick or hurt and unable to open the door from the inside by myself then you might open it and spy, but else you would not."

"I understand", Darth replied, "you desire that the Holy Spirit respects the children of faith, the faith of Jesus."

"Aha, yes", Mary nodded, happy.

Bonnie, aware of the vision now, saw herself in the room and walked to Darth, put her arm around his waist and leant her head on his shoulder and smiling at Mary she said to Darth, "lovely daughter, is she not?"

"She is", Darth nodded.

Mary blushed and looked down. Perhaps feeling at a loss what to do or say, she walked to the outside door and exited, closing the door gently behind. She began to walk along a path. An elder formed near her, in his 17th or 18th century attire, a rather tall figure, and he took his black top hat off and held it behind him as he walked with Mary. Before he could explain what was on his mind, the vision changed rapidly to a spiritual image of Ancient Jerusalem and he and Mary standing outside the city gates. The male looked about, scratched his head, "how can this be? I sense the time of our Lord. You Mary have an inner light so intense, the light of a true prophetess."

"I know, I do, but", Mary spun about, sensing, feeling, considering, "my Father (i.e. Darth) is greater than I, but without me, he is incomplete relative to humanity. In my telepathic father the living flame of the eternal God, the God of Life, the God of Gods, or "the God" as the Natural Telepaths relate to such matters. But that flame is outside the scope or hope of humanity to understand, to love, to learn from. On the other hand my God", she pointed to herself, "and by this I refer to Jesus, is a God of Love, and Jesus was a man who knew the nature of souls, the fragility of our limited human experience, and many such precious insights into humanity. Let us face it, to my telepathic father humanity, except for the children of God, is simply a form of animal life that evolved rather poorly - greed, Ego, arrogance, self-indulgence, no deep compassion whatsoever for others, such the virtue of such life. But that was the point Jesus also made, that no matter what a man is, if at some point in his life he has hope in Jesus and believes in his name, he or she has a chance at eternal life, at salvation."

The elder, hearing these fine thoughts, imagined sitting on a boulder with a white notepad and writing down word for word what Mary had flowed. She, intrigued by this, sat down next to him, "what are you doing?"

"Remembering", the elder replied, "when moved by the spirit I talk at our prayer meetings...I will to remember exactly what you just said."

The vision began to fade but before Mary and the elder could reconstruct the setting of the village, Lana locked Mary's will and Mary saw herself in a park sitting next to a woman, a most lovely woman with long black hair and a striking female figure, on a seat in a park. The park set on a hill. The vision strong and Mary felt a sense, a sense of India.

"I am your mother too", Lana explained as she gave Mary a hug, "your telepathic father does have three wives...a few others who are so in theory but in practice it is only three, me, Lisa-1, and Helen. I rarely wear Islamic garments in visions like this, but Sandra, who is like the other side of me, it is an Islamic mystery, usually wears Islamic style clothes."

"Yes, mum, Helen mum that is, explained all this to me", Mary nodded.

"Well", Lama stood up and Mary did, the two began to walk along a path. Lana wore a simple shirt and a longish skirt and a handbag around her arm. "I have a mystery on my hands. I seek your input. My will silences yours and you will see a faint image that comes to me, and it worries me."

As the two walked, hand in hand in fact, Mary caught a faint image of men and women in Palestinian clothes with rifles and guns engaged in an activity that looked like military training.

"That concerns me", Lana explained as the faint image faded, "I do not like the implications of that...an Islamic Life in the Spirit group is connecting through faith to us, to the new telepathic plane...but how can this be? People in the spirit are lovers of peace, or reconciliation, of reason. Sure, we explore ideas in strong words that may seem like fighting or terror words, but this is just our way of deliberating. That group, that Islamic group, appears to be men and women intent on violence. Jesus came to call the sinners, not the righteous. By that reasoning, it is possible such a group has a right to connect with Islamic Life in the Spirit. What do you feel?"

Mary glanced at Lana. This was such a complicated question. "Yes, mum", Mary replied, "I confer...tax collectors were despised in the times of Jesus, as I understand, but Jesus called Matthew to him, who was a tax collector, setting an example for his disciples - not to judge superficially but to consider the soul and heart. In my opinion Jesus accepted Matthew because the man simply had no choice as to what he had to do, but he did it fairly, honestly, not deceitfully. Jesus therefore concluded a man like that has a decent soul."

Lana imagined Mary smaller and picked her up and spun her above her head, and put her down again, saying, "wow...and you are special and lovely...and I do accept you as my telepathic daughter also...in the last year the number of times I have given birth in the spirit, I lost count, and each time I do, another Islamic Life in the Spirit links to and comes under the umbrella of the one combined Life in the Spirit group. I will accept that group also, whomever they are, but they better learn to conform."

Mary imagined a red flower in her hand and gave it to Lana, and made a curtsy, flowing, "I have felt the beauty and sanctity of Islamic Life in the Spirit, and I know the perception and practice of Islam can be completely at odds to Islamic Life in the Spirit...in any case...perhaps...you and I have not understood the image of the Palestinian group...until we can establish proper telepathy with them, how they first come across may not be what they are about."

The two walked together some more, Mary focusing on the imagery. "Mum", Mary's curiosity got the better of her, "I sense this is a real place in India. Are you an Indian?"

"No, I am not, I live in Turkey", Lana replied, "but this is a memory from your telepathic father's mind. He had been to India and to this park and for some reason, at some stage when we dated together you could say, this setting appealed to both of us, so we both tend to use it often enough."

They continued walking, in silence, the Mary glanced at Lana. "Mum, I sense you love my telepathic father deeply."

"I do", Lana replied.

"I sense this in Helen, an enormously deep bond of faith and love", Mary said.

"She does, he does", Lana replied.

"But I do not sense love between father and Lisa-1. I sense a deep respect, a deep faith, enormously strong faith, but not love", Mary said.

"That's the same as love in Catholic faith, Mary", Lana replied, "a Faith Marriage, which is what the relationship between Lisa-1 and Darth is, is not about love at first, it is about faith...in time spiritual love forms but its personal and between the two. You are only fourteen but I will tell you a mystery. I know, and Helen knows, that when your telepathic father and his wife of the faith make love, the experience is powerful and strong and makes ordinary sex seem trivial. But, neither I, or Helen, can come anywhere near such an effect. Helen sometimes refers to Lisa-1 as Darth's lover not wife...in a way, only Lisa-1 knows how to make love to him in a way that moves them both and moves them deeply. The Catholics have a Faith Marriage Faith Path and all the women who are wives assist one another in some matters - maybe that is their secret, whatever it is, it is potent effect, that Catholic love making at the will level."

"I see", Mary nodded, "another example of avoiding judging superficially...on the surface who would have imagined Lisa-1 is the most loving wife."

"Yes, something like that, not sure I like the way you said this", Lana replied, a touch hurt by what Mary had said.

"I want Bonnie, whom I consider my mother in the spirit", Mary pointed to herself, "to have as much of a marriage with my telepathic father as you have, as Helen has, as Lisa-1 has. Is this possible?"

They had reached the end of the path and came to a great many steps leading down. Mary paused, clutched Lana's skirt as if afraid to fall down the steep steps. Lana sat down on the top step and made Mary sit with her. "Well", Lana explained, "this is complicated. Lisa-1 is the wife of the faith. She represents Jesus. Any woman of faith who comes under the Christian belief system, is her responsibility. Through Lisa-1, united in spirit and in faith and will, Bonnie or another can be and feel a wife to your telepathic father. Helen is a wife in every sense that means, through a mystery, she sometimes is in Anne, who is Darth's wife in ordinary life. I alone am Darth's telepathic wife...also an Islamic wife but that is...uhm...that was just a curiosity with me, and your telepathic father did not mind, but an Islamic wife is two women in the spirit as one, with Sandra being me, the wife, at what we call the will level. You will meet Sandra at some point in time. Unlike me, she does wear Islamic style clothes in our settings. Life in the Spirit is a complex understanding, and the relationships that develop are not that easily to logically decipher."

"I am beginning to understand all this", Mary nodded and leant against Lana, "so you are my real mother in faith?"

"I am, so is Lisa-1, so is Helen", Lana replied, "but love, in ordinary life I am also a woman married to the Qua'ran, not a celibate like Lisa-1 but I have no husband in ordinary life and do have a vow of chastity...Lisa-1 is a celibate Roman Catholic Sister...only Helen is a real mother in ordinary life and she is an exceptionally good mother to telepathic children...in other words, you get in strife with Helen and it is between you and Helen, neither myself or Lisa-1 feel confident to interfere."

"All right, I get that message crystal clear", Mary nodded, "but can Bonnie then still feel the only wife in Quaker Life in the Spirit? To act as a model of a spiritual marriage?"

"Sure", Lana replied, "but that is up to Bonnie and Lisa-1. Lisa-1 can act to separate Darth from other thoughts while with Bonnie, so he can focus on her as his only wife...Lisa-1 is rather clever at this...Bonnie is not the only one...there is an Anglican Reverend in a similar position, there is a Mormon woman called Jodie, there is a Buddhist called Li, I am not sure how it came to be that Li also had Christian faith, she being a Buddhist, but that is not that critical really...perhaps Li simply felt comfortable with Lisa-1 at the will level."

"So", Mary stood up and walked about, thinking, using her hands sometimes to convey her thoughts, "dad, my dad, my telepathic dad, is a touch like Jesus in that he has Apostles but these are called wives. Jesus had twelve Apostles, all men, while dad has many wives and all are women, all expected really to give birth to a new spirit that enhances traditional Life in the Spirit and also unites individual Life in the Spirit under a combined Life in the Spirit."

"I think so, as matters stand", Lana replied as she stood up and stepped onto the park again and watched Mary as she walked about explaining.

"All right", Mary said and for a moment imagined herself pregnant and she touches her tummy, "but why then am I giving birth to the Quaker spirit and not Bonnie? I feel the pangs of spiritual birth in me."

"I don't think so", Lana smiled with a touch of sympathy because spiritual birth was never easy especially when a female had no male partner to make it simpler, "my guess is Bonnie will give such birth...what you are giving birth to is something to do with Jesus or Mary, the mother of Jesus."

"Oh!", Mary paused, surprised by what Lana said but suddenly it made sense, "in which case I may have to give a virgin birth without help from a man...I...well...made myself a wife too with Bonnie, thinking I might need to...to..you know...to make the birth easier...but I am not so sure I want to make it easier...let it happen as it happens I feel now."

Mary found she was spending more time with Lana in the spirit than with either Helen or Lisa-1. In a strong visual image outside of Mary and Joseph's hut in Ancient Jerusalem, perhaps Betlehem, the sense of time ever so strong in that the sense of 2000 years ago crystal clear but the location and other such facts unknown, Mary in her usual long black dress with than white apron-like front, was standing outside the hut focusing on all she could see. Darth as a man, and Lana in a long cream gown with silver specks, were standing in this vision near the hut. The imagery semi life-like and semi-cartoon but of such high quality. Mary pointed into the distance and turned to Darth and Lana, "I sense Jerusalem over there."

The vision not so crystal clear that the "distance" could be made out well - just shadows and faint shapes.

Lana asked Mary to sit down on a wooden seat by the hut. Lana in the setting has the tummy of a "pregnant" woman. Mary touched her tummy, "again?"

"Again!", Lana mused. "The Quakers are not particularly numerous in ordinary life but their Life in the Spirit seems larger than life. You know, those old-fashioned clothes they were. The other day in a setting of our headquarters building, this Muslim scholar began to muse at how a Quaker who had managed to form the setting clearly, how the male was dressed complete with that tall black top hat. I had to laugh - this Muslim scholar in his all white and ever so traditional outfit making sport of a Quaker dressed in his fashion."

"That is sweet", Mary mused and learnt against Lana, putting her arms around her, "mum, why do they say you...are not a particularly effective mother in the spirit? You seem lovely to me."

"Well", Lana mused, "I can not cope when there are more than two daughters interacting with me, I tend to loose control and let them do whatever they want. Lisa-1 is a touch better, but she too can not easily cope with too many of our offsprings interacting with us. It is only Helen, the wonder woman in that regard, that manages to cope ever so effectively. Among our kind, the Natural Telepaths, everyone who knows us just thinks of Helen as the mother and Queen."

"Muslims call God Allah", Mary said, "it is the same thing?"

"Not really", Lana replied, "Allah as we have discovered refers to a part of God that the Natural Telepaths know as the Eternal One, the giver of life and death in a sense. Allah has inifinite compassion, inifinite wisdom. Perhaps like Jesus had infinite love for the soul. The God of your Father", Lana pointed to Darth standing near, "is "the God", Life itself, but Life is more like nature, allows life-forms to evolve on their own, grow and develop on their own. The Holy Spirit in that sense is Life itself."

Mary turned and studied Darth, curious about him and yet feeling so strong a natural daughter attraction to him. Mary turned to Lana again, "I have spent time with my other telepathic siblings, because Helen made me. Jarah and Rebecca, Sara, and Amy, were pointing out that dad can have such a deep male sensual-sexual flow that it can bother them, they can get this urge to use sexual imagery even at a young age. But, they explained, when this happens they tend to flow such feeling to Lisa. How can she cope?"

"Lisa is a natural daughter", Lana replied, "born at the age of two to Darth and Helen. At that age a child accepts her telepathic parents in exactly the same way as natural parents. Somehow she naturally discharges such feelings so easily, sometimes by simply giving Darth a hug, sometimes insisting on a pillow fight - a game they invented when she was small. It is not natural to Lisa to allow her brain to think or feel strong sexual type energy toward her father, and her brain somehow manages to cope with the strongest flows that Rebecca or Jarah, them too being the oldest tend to cause strong sexual energy sometimes when interacting with Darth, and they channel these to Lisa so she can discharge them naturally. Just being with her telepathic father, I think, is all it takes sometimes for her to discharge these. If you have a similar feeling, do the same, just flow it to Lisa."

"I will", Mary nodded, "I have not had...but this spiritual womb in me frightens me sometimes. I feel I am pregnant in the spirit...but how, to what, when will it end, I don't know."

"You are very different", Lana smiled, "you have the Holy Spirit in you all right, the spirit of either Jesus or Mary I suspect, so you are very much on your own just as your telepathic father was on his own for so long, coping with what he was, coping with the mystery of God on his own, coping with revelations in the spirit so deep some he still has not worked out."

"That's because, I feel", Mary replied, "dad is attune to "the God", the soul of God, which is intense and all powerful but it is a small part of God really. Some of his visions he can never completely understand on his own because they are from other parts of God...only when someone like me with the Holy Spirit attune to such vision comes along and locks his thoughts and such a vision surfaces, only then does father understand them."

"You are so lovely", Lana smiled giving Mary a loving hug.

Darth and Bonnie managed to consummate their telepathic and in the spirit marriage. Why such love making resulted in a climax that seemed like a lightning bolt stretching across the active dimensional space, the active environment, and binding all minds and souls and hearts into unity, was a mystery - but its effect potent. The Quaker Life in the Spirit used a technique similar to Jewish Life in the Spirit in that women combined into the one image often, and so did the men, the latter into a few distinct male images. In effect, that meant the one woman, Bonnie, was with all the women and thus the one "wife" of not just Darth, but the group also. The men were likewise the one "husband". An innovative technique. After, when in their strong setting of their bedroom in that wooden house, both imagined dressing again, Bonnie said, "wow...but it felt like all the men were having sex with me...that put me off...and it felt like all the women in our group with you...that put you off a touch...I actually want to work on this so this activity is private." She sat down by the bed, looking with intent at Darth. "Okay", he thought this over, "it can be done...we need to learn how other telepathy groups secure a room when...when...there is this blending effect in place."

Bonnie leant against him, put her hand no his, "that was special...a man can not do that...not that climaz that seemed to move heaven and Earth...only you can with a woman in whom the spirit responds."

Time passed before a strong Quaker imagery came upon them. In a room like a school, in that same old village, many men and women now sat neatly at desks. Each representing more than one person "online", in the spirit, aware and listening. Unlike Jewish, Catholic, and Islamic Life in the Spirit groups that took years to slowly get to know the Natural Telepaths and begin forging strong friendships, the Quakers Life in the Spirit managed to do this in a matter of weeks. Mary was probably their personal secret - her soul, her spirit, was someone all accepted as special, and because she took so naturally and easily to Darth, all probably accepted him as one who could be trusted among them.

The Quaker Life in the Spirit became interested in two things: in forming their own magical and artistic spiritual imagery which was, as best as it could be, visions of the life of Jesus and Mary and Joseph, at true to the times as possible. The group could sense that Darth and Mary, together with some assistance especially from the Jewish Holy Ways Life in the Spirit groups, were exceptionally good at forming and working with such imagery and visions.

Other Quaker women began to form "individual" imagery. Their telepathy style was a mix, a blend of group telepathy and individual telepathy, with the "group mode" dominant. In group telepathy many women can be the one woman in an image. In a setting outside the village, sitting on chairs, all the women dressed much like Bonnie, Bonnie was discussing the effect the sexual love-making had. This was new to the group, and the group as such could not see anything wrong with it, but because of the blending effect there was a side-effect. In that for a time it seemed to Bonnie that all the men in the group were making love to her, and all the women to Darth. A slightly "off putting" effect - but after some discussion Bonnie and the other women felt this was perhaps best left as it is, it was not that much of a problem and it seemed to achieve a desirable effect. Mary, the only child among them, was also a concern in that she was only fourteen but she could not completely block her thoughts from faintly seeing the love-making. But when Mary was asked she said she felt she saw something wonderful, a woman and man in love making love, and that it was not worth just for her sake to spend much trime trying to block such an effect.

As the visions grew stronger, the Quakers began to experiment with this new enhanced Life in the Spirit effect. The group was borrowing ideas and concepts and techniques from other Life in the Spirit group that they managed to briefly interact with, and in then had an idea. Two men and women managed to form a setting much like what Ancient Jerusalem might have been like, and one of the man sat in front of a desk in a corner of the market place with a quilt pen and book in front of him. He was trying to project himself into what it was like to be Matthew, one of the Apostles of Jesus. Around him others from the group practising to be in such a setting - or rather seeing it in their thoughts but feeling as if the cartoon image was in fact themselves. Some women standing in the backgroun would swap a baby in white between them. Two Natural Telepaths, attune to this, quite fascinated by the cleverness of the mental image, pretended to be two wealthy men now with Matthew.

"Tell us, tax collector", one of the Natural Telepaths asked as he winked at the other, "and why ought we pay taxes to Cesar? We are not afraid of his army."

"Well", Matthew stood up, pondered, then stepped away from his desk and with his arm and hand waving flowed, "taxes pay for roads and schools. Your own children go to school I suspect. Surely you ought to contribute?"

On hearing this the two Natural Telepaths walked away. When some distance from Matthew, one put his arm on the shoulder of the other and glanced at Matthew then said to his friend, "that one can sell with his tongue...let us just pay our duty else he might talk us into paying more taxes than is our obligation under the tyrant Cesar."

It was brief interactions of this kind which delighted the group. It was more like being entertained rather than learning. As individual members became more skilled at this, more complex magical interactions of these place took place.

Mary was most interested in the history of the times of Jesus, in those he had chosen as his Apostles. In one vision she imagined standing on a sand with Darth, Darth in robes like Jesus might have worn, and they watched an old Jew bringing nets onto shore from a rather poorly built boat. Mary studied the man. His face had a sense of age but he did not seem particularly old. His stature strong but slightly bent. As he knelt by his net on the beach she heard from the depth of the spirit in her telepathic father a flow which made her feel incomprehensible divinity and desire, "follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men."

Mary faded this faint image quickly and imagined herself with Helen in their telepathy house, and waited until Helen formed an image sitting on the lounge with her, and Mary leant against her and explained, "mum...to hear the depths of eternity from dad is terror, incomprehensibe, I shivered as I heard this, I feel weak all over."

"Take your time to know your new family", Helen gave Mary a hug. As she lay like this in her telepathic mother's arms, she heard the same flow come into the depths of her spirit, and with the flow the words, "do not desire me, I am the Eternal One, I am death to life that has no spirit of life, and relative to your life-forms I am the God of Life and Death. Do not desire me."

Mary, deeply touched by this, explained to Helen what she had heard. Helen, slightly amused, formed a strong physical reality of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. She used her will strongly on Mary, so strongly Mary could imagine this particular vision very clearly - as if she was there, standing on the harbor bridge with a woman. The woman explained to Mary as she pointed to the arches of the bridge, "the Eternal One is an eternal being, a part of God the Father...He is the Allah of Islam...it was on this bridge when your telepathic father for a few hours was as one with the Eternal One..touch his memories, love, lock onto these when you are ready, and you too will touch the Eternal One directly."

Helen faded this image, then explained to Mary in their house setting, "your telepathic father adores his Father, "the God" in our myths and legends, but he loves the Eternal One with a love too deep for words, too deep for feelings. It was his Eternal One that forbade the spirit in your father to perform any miracles on planet Earth. Little things, like making you see writing on the wall, that's the eye of faith, they are not real miracles."

Mary, carefully digesting all this, flowed to Helen, "mum, is that why the Muslims do not believe in miracles? I think that is what I heard. Perhaps their Eyernal One had forbade their prophet Muhammed to do any miracles."

"Perhaps", Helen smiled, "but I am not so convinced, personally, that Muhammed was any greater than any other prophet of old...that is, they felt a touch from God but had to make sense of this themselves. It was only Jesus, I guess, and your telepathic father the Holy Spirit, that can channel through his being the flows from eternity and God."

"And Mary, the mother of Jesus", Mary decided, "she too could channel through her spirit the spirit of God."

In this setting in their thoughts Helen had to hold the child for some time until fear and apprehension in her reduced. After a long time, the two just sitting, Helen flowing a loving flow to her new daughter, Mary felt much relieved and sat up, threw her hands down into her lap, lamenting, "and I thought I had a mighty Holy Spirit in me, the spirit of the virgin Mary - but to get to know my telepathic father is like touching God."

"Oh yes, it can be", Helen replied as she stood up and then, after asking Mary if she was all right now, Helen glanced at her wristwatch and excused herself saying she was doing something in ordinary life and wanted to exit telepathy.

Mary was left alone in the setting of their number 1 telepathy house. She imagined walking around, getting a feel for the house and the internals of it. The vision in her mind was strong - she felt if ever in ordinary life she came into this house, she would know it instantly.

Mary might have been ever so special in their hearts and thoughts, but she was still a fourteen year old now using such high levels of awareness there was a risk she would simply get very confused in days to come rather than cherishing a religious experience. Helen usually kept an eye on any of her telepathic children when their awareness went very high, but if Helen could not then Lisa-1 and Lana did, often together, neither having the confidence of Helen as a "mother" and preferring to do this together if they had to take over from Helen.

It was Lana who sensed Mary's visions were now too many and might trouble her. Using her will she formed a setting of her office in a setting which was their virtual Headquarters building, a building serving as a "core management unit" for the combined Life in the Spirit group. The imagery close to ordinary life. Lana at first sitting at a large desk then standing and walking to the front. Mary imagined herself sitting on a sofa. Lana wore a white blouse and knee long black skirt - and the moment she came to the front Mary noticed that which most notice about Lana when close to ordinary life imagery was used. She had a striking figure - her breasts slightly larger than most women, her hips slightly narrower, her legs slightly longer.

"Wow!", Mary said, "what a figure."

"Thanks", Lana mused and leant against the desk, her arms crossed, "lo, I will tell you a mystery. See the image of a Muslim women outside the window?"

Mary turned to where Lana pointed. This office was on a lower floor of a building with large glass windows. Outside on a small square area of grass, the inner courtyard, a woman in a white Islamic outfit stood neatly, submissively, with head lowered. "She", Lana said, "is also a Holy Woman, a woman married to the Qua'ran, like a Catholic Sister in a way. She found us, sensed truth in us, wants to bind with me as the one Islamic wife of the faith. She can only do this if she can break through what we call the Will of Allah. That is in a man, the most senior male among our Life in the Spirit. Watch what happens as she reaches deeper and deeper in spirit of truth."

Time passed, a strong tension seemed to build, a male figure in white formed intent on blocking the woman from stepping closer toward Lana, then a bright light like a bolt of lightning shone from her forehead, causing the male to literally disintegrate in the vision, and as this happened the light connected the woman's forehead to Lana's."

"Wow", Mary put her hands to her mouth, amazed at what she had seen.

Lana sat down next to her and explained, "she just crushed with her will a false prophet. Those who aspire to hold the will of God are almost without exception false prophets...only God can hold his will, and to those he entrusts with it, they know it and they are different from the beginning. Unlike Jewish and Catholic Life in the Spirit, Islamic Life in the Spirit is lovely and fair and fine at high levels of awareness, but it is also obstinate in some ways, and men always attempt to block a woman who is trying to swap sides so to speak. I am an Islamic wife to your telepathic father, but he is a Catholic in ordinary life, so Islamic Life in the Spirit while content to be under the combined groups, does not completely consider me one of their own. That's the reason the will of Allah from our men in the spirit will try to block any woman wanting to be as one with me at the will level of telepathy."
