The Star Group (8 page)

“OK.”


What do you wish to ask?

My state of relaxation was deepening. Once again I felt the subtle movement of energy around my head and at the base of my spine. It was soothing and seemed both electrical and magnetic in origin, and as my attention focused on it, I felt my breathing slow even more.

“Is this all real?” I whispered.


Yes.

“It is not a prelude to madness?”


No.

“But schizophrenics hear voices?”


Do you hear voices?

“No.”


Do you hear anything?

“No. Just normal sounds.”


Then you are not schizophrenic. You are able to speak these words because you are entering a refined state of consciousness. In this state you do not have any awareness of things in particular, you simply have a heightened state of awareness. To make it more confusing this is a state of non-knowing, where anything can be known. It is a state of innocence, and in that innocence you can recognize that faint impulse of this telepathy.

“Is this how people communicate on your planet, through telepathy?”


Yes.

“Can you send a spaceship for me and let me visit your planet?”


No. If you came here in a physical ship you would find my planet covered with molten lava. At your level of density, my planet is unsuitable for human life. We do not exist at your density. You are what is called third density. We vibrate at a higher level, a fourth density. Yet long ago we were as human as you beings on Earth are at present. At that time, this world was much like your Earth. But that was millions of years ago.

“So you have evolved beyond physical matter?”


Yes. The physical system is but one of many, although your scientists think it is all that exists. But soon, very soon, they will have to change their way of thinking.

“How so?”


Groups like yours will begin to emerge. They will possess powers your modern physical theories cannot explain. Perhaps your group will be one that will have a positive effect on humanity.

“You speak of me as different from you. But yesterday you said we were the same.”


We are the same, and in a larger sense we are different aspects of an even greater entity. But you, Daniel, deep inside, are not truly third density. You are like me, fourth density. You have merely taken on the shell of third-density existence to serve the people of Earth. It is a great sacrifice for you to be on Earth.

I felt myself smile. “It wasn't last night.”


Your favorite illusion. I am pleased you had fun.

“So what you're saying is that when I die, I will be with you?”


Yes. You will not only be with me, you will be me.

“I will be on your world?”


Yes.

“Cool.”


Yes.

“Is Ortee beautiful?”


There is beauty here beyond your wildest imagination. The joys of third density cannot compare to fourth density bliss. Your greatest joy on Earth would seem like abject suffering to us.

“Do all people who die on Earth move into fourth density?”


No. They must reincarnate many times before they perfect themselves enough to move on to fourth-density experience. Between lives, however, they rest and enjoy and assimilate what they have learned in their previous lives.

“But what you are saying is that my friends are all fourth density, correct?”


Correct.

“And we have incarnated to work as a group to help humanity?”


Correct.

“What specifically will we do?”


When you awaken to your inner nature, you will develop powers. You will use those powers to help people, to demonstrate to them that there is more than the physical reality.

“You hinted yesterday that we could misuse these powers.”


Yes.

“Is that likely?”


All is possible. It is up to you.

“Can these powers be used to harm?”

“Yes.”

“Why does humanity need our help?”


Evolution is cyclical. Humanity as a whole is about to complete one cycle. To continue to progress, humans must begin to look within for truth, not just outside to science, or even religion or philosophy for that matter. All these institutions are products of early third-density society. To you they possess your highest truths and embody your fondest wishes, but from our perspective they are merely a phase of growth.

“It sounds like our group has an important role to play.”


Yes and no. As I stated yesterday, you are uniquely qualified to help humanity. But all are equal in the eyes of the One Infinite Creator. Do not think of yourselves as important, it is the surest way to distort the powers that will soon come to you. Be innocent like children, as your mind is now, and you will know what to do.

“Is Gale close to me on your world? I mean, is her counterpart married to you?”


We do not have marriage at our level. We do not have bodies as you understand bodies, although we do have form. And all are close in this density, all are one.

“But is she special to you in any way?”


You cling to your illusions. Be wary of them.

“Is it bad that I am with Gale?”


It is neither bad nor good. It is inevitable.

“OK,” I muttered. I wanted Mentor's stamp of approval, but I could see what he was driving at. As we talked, my euphoria kept deepening. I felt expanded, no longer inside my body. I felt as if I were floating. Yet I could still feel my hands, my arms, and my legs. In no way did I believe my free will was being infringed.


Very good.

“What is very good?” I asked.


You see how crucial free will is. Throughout the galaxy, those of a positive vibration will never infringe upon free will.

“That's nice.” I paused. “Are there negative beings in the galaxy?”


Yes.

“What are they like?”


They are of many densities, like positive beings, third, fourth, fifth, sixth. The main characteristic of them is that they infringe upon others’ free will and serve only themselves. They have no love. They exist by enslaving others, while positive beings grow by helping to free others. You have been born on Earth to make humanity more aware.

“Could these negative beings obstruct my mission?”


They are trying to do so at this moment.

“How?”


They are trying to feed you ideas of self-importance. When the false personality, or what you call the ego, dominates the positivity of any being decreases.

“So these negative beings are on the subtle plane?”


They are both subtle and physical. Fourth-density negative beings are also among your people at this time, in large numbers, equal numbers to the positive fourth-density beings. To maintain free will in your society, this balance is necessary.

“Do I know any of these fourth-density beings?”


I cannot answer that question.

“Why not?”


To do so would be to infringe upon your free will.

“I don't mind.”


I cannot answer that question.

“Do you honestly expect me to tell all my friends that I’m talking to a spaceman?”


Yes.

“They'll think I've lost my mind.”


Only at first. Remember, they, too, are spacemen. Deep inside they will know you speak the truth. They have been waiting for this time to arrive, a time when you are all together.

“When should I tell them?”


Soon. But first you must get them all alone and in a harmonious spot. Suggest a retreat into the mountains, beside a lake perhaps. You have just graduated, and it would be natural for you to take a short vacation. Do not talk about me beforehand. But when you are all together, late at night, speak a little of me and then let me come and talk to the group. Have them close their eyes and breathe as you have done. They will begin to feel the peace you feel now. In that state I will be able to briefly lift you and them into a higher state and give you a glimpse of this fourth density. From that point on, the inner nature of each member of the group will begin to grow dramatically.

“Will we all be enlightened at this point?”


There are many levels of enlightenment. But, no, I would say you will just be beginning on the path to enlightenment. Many obstacles will still stand before you.

“How do we defeat these obstacles?”


By moving into stillness, into yourself, into innocence. Then you will know what is the right course to take.

“Will negative beings try to mess up our retreat?”


Of course.

“Can you stop them?”


You must stop them. If all your obstacles are removed, your growth will be inhibited.

“I just can't see this working.”


You did not think you could speak for me, but here you are doing it.

“As long as you are not just a figment of my imagination.”


We are all figments in the One Infinite Creator's great dream. This creation, all densities, are merely parts of one vast drama. One day you will see that again, and all your pain will be swept away. The task ahead of you is important, but it is all a play as well. The more you see the play from the director's point of view, the closer you will be to wisdom.

His words touched me. “I like you, Mentor.”


I like you as well. Have you any more questions?

“I want to think about what you've said. I will get the group together. Is one date preferable to another?”


The sooner the better.

“OK.”


Go now in light and love.

“Thanks. Goodbye.”

 

It took me several minutes before I was ready to open my eyes. My body processes had slowed amazingly. Even though I had been talking, I was hardly breathing. As I stretched, I reached over and turned off the tape recorder. I was anxious to rewind the tape and listen to Mentor again. Each of his statements had been precious to me, and not because they had come out of my own mouth.

I heard a knock at the front door. Standing, I briefly had to steady myself against a wooden cabinet. But as I strode toward the door, I felt myself leave my experience behind. Indeed, I felt very fresh and alert. Mentor seemed to have a good effect on my energy level.

Gale was at the door. She had on a short white summer dress, a yellow ribbon in her hair. She wore a little lipstick but no other makeup—she needed nothing. The light in her eyes danced mischievously.

“What have you been up to?” she asked. “I knocked twice ten minutes ago.”

“I didn't hear you.” I opened the door farther. “Come in, my parents aren't home.”

Her eyes widened as she stepped inside and pinched my belly.

“Does that mean you want to have sex real quick before they come home?” she teased.

I gave her a quick hug. “I don't just have sex on my mind. I appreciate you as a human being as well as an instrument of pure pleasure.”

“Wow! I like that description, it suits me.” Her eyes were searching. “Show me your house, I want to see how the other half lives.”

I showed it to her. It took all of five minutes. We ended up in my room, kissing on the bed. I don't know who started taking off whose clothes first, but soon we were both naked. To see all of Gale's body in the daylight was a spiritual experience. But she didn't let me stare at her too long as she pulled me under the covers and kissed me in a way I assumed only Gale could kiss. Of course, I had never made out with another girl in my life. Yet somehow I managed to stop the plunge into ecstasy long enough to ask what I thought was a pertinent question.

“I meant to ask this last night. Are we using any form of birth control here?”

She was amused. “You think I want your baby? You think I love you that much?”

“Well.”

She poked me. “I take the pill. I took one this morning. Are you happy?”

“No.” I pulled her close. “But I think I will be in a minute or two.”

Later, after we made love for the second time, I dozed. Really, I thought I was only asleep for a minute, but when I opened my eyes Gale was gone. For a moment I had a terrible image that I had slept for an hour, and that my parents had come home and peeked in my room while we were lying naked together. I wondered if Gale was in the living room explaining to my parents that we planned to get married as soon as the preacher arrived. Sitting up, I pulled on my pants and hurried down the hall.

Gale was in the living room sitting in my father's chair.

She had a bed sheet wrapped around her, nothing else.

She was listening to Mentor's tape. Maybe not for the first time.

She turned it off when she saw me.

For what seemed the longest time, we stared at each other.

“I can explain,” I said finally.

She shook her head. Her expression was serious.

“You don't have to,” she said quietly.

“I was just goofing off.”

“No.”

I forced a laugh. “Sure I was. It's something I do when I'm trying to get ideas for a story. I talk to myself and tape the conversation.”

“No.”

I fidgeted. “I'm not crazy, you know I'm not crazy.”

She set the tape player aside and held out her arms.

“Come here,” she said.
