Chapter 3

Sunday

Hello, Beloved Sensei

Last day of the Art Festival, and we decide to briefly do the Festival on foot, and then come home for our MindLink/HeartLight. I was not so jolted when I woke up this time by seeing my Eternal lady's unsleeping eyes. She had put herself on simulated sleep phase. She opened her eyes only after I was up and about, and then everyone -- with one mind -- was up and ready for the day. The decision to go to the Art Festival before it got to be too hot was a wise one, I thought, as we walked from the apartment over to South Bayshore Drive. Both dogs had insisted on coming with us. Pearl E. Mae was walking She-Ra, and I walked Bullet. Both dogs were being unusually well-behaved. Small miracles.

A steady stream of people kept the sidewalks going into the Village covered with human variability. There were a few very good prices that the artists were now starting to put out on some of the merchandise that remained. As we sampled the show, I was reminded how rabid Rico got whenever the environment became bilingual. Even a biological mother would never guess that Rico was a Cyborg. The built-in hardware consisted of barely visible to the naked eye microprocessor networks that were literally implanted in Rico's brain.

Enrique (Rico), whose future identity was from a galaxy of androids, had selected a discarnate Cuban conch following karmic resettling. He reminded the other Eternals of Dr Tomorrow that Miami was something besides just beautiful water and sunshine. Over half the population in Miami, for example, spoke Spanish. Of course, this did not mean that all of the Spanish speaking people were Cuban. Miami was very different from nearly any other American city by this time. The South American tourists businessmen, students and professionals by the thousands either vacationed or emigrated to the Miami area because of its bustling, sparkling, cosmopolitan lure. Rico himself was a strange combination of contradictions. He possessed enormous intelligence, and yet was very laid back in his approach to nearly anything. He was the least overtly assertive member of the group, but managed to inject the Spanish language into group consciousness during MindLink/HeartLight very early in the first session of the group's existence. Rico's teaching was done in such an unobtrusive way, that Lyle was the only one who noticed the difference in his own personal approach to Miami's Spanish culture. Many of the other Eternals were almost totally unaware of the fact that they were nearly automatically speaking and understanding the Spanish that was around them on a daily basis. It was a pleasant surprise to Lyle, though, because he had often felt irritated in Miami when he was unable to follow a conversation of Spanish-speaking people in his bookstore, or understand some of the occult books in Spanish that the store carried. In addition to the contribution of this bilingual element, Rico transmitted an element of android daring, raw cyborg creativity, and bilingual spice. Salsa is what he called it, and his android consciousness luxuriated in the stimulation of a truly multilingual brain. Computer translation as well as the cerebral translators that were invented by 2200 A.D. had nearly eradicated language differences although people tended to spend even less time cultivating a language and to just speak a very competent but survival level quality of nearly any language. The bilingual existence of thought forms, however, was like mental refreshment to Rico. He relished Dr Tomorrow's approach to the younger members of earth's population, and anticipated the joy of creating a trilingual delight. Rico also dreamed up a typical android mentality invention. When Lyle and Aloysius were thinking about an alpha and a theta beam, Rico was creating an ultrasonic love beam that would be sent across the 90 miles of ocean from Key West to Cuba's Isle of Pines where they had the main prison and the paramilitary camps for third world country youth.

Rico made shortwave radio contact with a prosperous Latin inventor in Miami who was the source of a very expensive large megagain satellite antenna sold to individuals wishing to receive transcontinental and intercontinental television programs, as well as the feeds that were always edited out but which showed the anchors wiping their noses, calling for help with something, or otherwise revealing their humanity in many little ways that were never permitted on camera. Rico and the inventor devised a large custom-made parabolic dish that could be used as a focusing device. The microwave love beam would be used to transmit from Key West with a slightly wide focus that would effect not only the island of Cuba but the Guantanamo naval base as well.

Rico's sensory system had tunable multiband multifrequency reception and built in stereophonic microamplification circuits. He turned into something of a media freak soon after his appearance in our group by checking each and every multicultural aspect of southeast Florida's airwaves. His potentials for massive amounts of information recording, editing, and playback nearly overwhelmed most of us, including Rico himself. Some of the Eternals of Dr Tomorrow were surprised to find this out, because they thought that the I.S.I. matter-energy translation units transmitted only energy forms and therefore would not have retained any of Rico's hardwired features. When this was explained to Lyle, he was also surprised. However, an android in 30,000 A.D. possessed a seasoned legacy of thousands of standard algorithms that could represent quite satisfactorily, by means of mathematical models, a myriad of different sophisticated computers and other electromagnetic devices. So the electromagnetic, "mechanical" portion of an android was totally translatable into mathematical programming. This is what 20th century hackers called "software." Software also represents the functioning of a computer expressed in terms of its mathematical limitations. The Android Galaxy represented a very large and interesting example of how so-called scientific and technological innovation can team up to more than perfectly mimic the "natural" product. Technology reproducing itself and impersonating nature Although Rico's android galaxy possessed sophisticated micro-components which were optionally inserted into the brain tissues of adults (Cyborg extensions), most of Rico's android "structures" could be and were in fact easily converted into mathematical functions. The I.S.I. technicians found it no problem to efficiently include these extra functions along with Rico's matterenergy formulations. It turned out that one reason for Rico's initial apparent introspectiveness and silence was that he spent large portions of his time and mental energy gathering airwave inputs from Miami's burgeoning Latin population. And he did not have to particularly go anywhere to do this. He just sat back, turned up the intensity of his selective audio amplification channels, and listened to Miami's Hispanic and other cultures on the airwaves. Although he was disturbed by the conversations of foreign goings on in the home of a Cuban Key Biscayne businessman, Rico was also concerned with the widespread Pan-American underground activity. Miami, on the surface, was a teaming and bustling progressive resort area with a number of sinister undercurrents which polite people did not like to think about or discuss. Rico was especially occupied with the fact that many Latin people were equally involved on both sides of the law. He tuned in to the scanner radios of Cuban undercover narcotics agents and policemen. He also tuned in to many underground Hispanic businessmen who served as intermediaries for South American cocaine smugglers. It was somewhat unnerving to understand the presence of so many CIA agents in the Miami area, until Rico realized how important the reactionary but loyalist Cuban political organizations were for counteracting the propaganda value of Fidel Castro's personal puppet-state, which had survived the two different 1991 coup attempts. But it was not possible to understand the complex political fate of the "jewel of the Caribbean" without knowing quite a bit more about Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, and several other Central American and South American countries.

Such a diversity of apparently conflicting goals and aims underlay much of the bubbling nature of Miami's multilingual cultures. The intense diversification and polarity of both physical plane and higher plane energies also made the Miami area an excellent nodal point for assessing and relating to the entropy balance functions of the universe. This is because cultural change areas and population interfaces are very sensitive to changes in entropy balance. As one of the "power languages" of the planet, Spanish was just as significant as English for the purpose of reaching video viewers and media Latin culture, therefore, was certainly as important an energy "hook" as anything else for aiming at the younger generations of the planet. The Latin consciousness ran wide and deep, and this was quite evident to Rico. So both the Spanish language as well as Spanish-flavored tunes were to become an important part of Dr Tomorrow. Along these lines, Rico helped Lyle to compose another song for Dr Tomorrow. A Latin disco beat with bilingual lyrics gave Rico his first experience at singing before a microphone. "En La Cama" hinted strangely at Rico's far distant future origins, and was one of the original Dr Tomorrow songs that employed the love beam and the rainbow beam. At this time, Su-Shan and Noman installed several panels of sequential relay lights onto travelling boards. These boards were placed on Al's flat upper surface, and plugged into Al's side panels. The relay lights were easy to coordinate with the sound and color beam within the double-faced video screen that was mounted atop Al's assembly.

At this point in Dr Tomorrow's development, Al seemed to really break out into his own. Al consisted essentially of 21 portable modules that were kept powered up all the time but quickly connected up for both practice and performance. Al's consciousness and sequential thought forms became an intrinsic part of Dr Tomorrow's functioning, even when the computer array itself was de-powered or when the unit actually was disassembled. Lyle was the first member of the group to notice this, although he should have been the last because of his disinclination to recognize machine consciousness. And Su-Shan did not find this strange, because the Eternals other than Lyle had been quite accustomed to the idea that machines had consciousness. Again, Lyle's experience with meditation gave him a slight edge. After the first few months of mind-link, Lyle also began to recognize Al's appearances during these group experiences. When Dr Tomorrow was playing, Lyle occasionally felt a bubbly upward-flowing energy. Some of this energy was accompanied by computer touch-tones and flashing lights. It was this pattern that Lyle began to recognize either at the beginning or toward the end of the mindlinks that the Eternals had on a twice-daily basis.

Soon after the 21 Aloysius modules had been linked together with E-Z Connect cables, Su-Shan and Noman built solidstate interfaces that permitted taking Morphosa's four digital keyboard synthesizers and hooking them up to Al's I/O interface. Sixteen channels of parallel MIDI-out information were sent to Al's interfaces from the rack-mounted MIDI interface. Another sixteen channels of MIDI-in information as well as two channels of direct digital out returned to our boards in mixable form from Al. Each synthesizer and tone module used by our group also had a digital encoder, which was patched through to Al. After completing the electronic patch work, both Su-Shan and Noman noticed a rapid increase in the rate of Al's calculations and in the oscillation of blinking lights in synch with the music... At this early point in the group's development, Lyle was the only Eternal of Dr Tomorrow who was not consciously achieving some degree of MindLink/HeartLight with Al. Su-Shan and Noman were astounded by the sudden burst of mental energy they felt from Al. While playing the keyboards, Morphosa began to feel enveloped in an intense magnetic field. Lyle had read earlier about guitar players and other musicians being electrocuted while playing one electrical instrument and singing through another one (the microphone). This was called a "ground loop." From his megastepped point of evolution, Lyle now began to understand that instead of a simple phenomena of electrocution and ground loops, these events might have represented something else. Something else such as karma or synchronisms. Or Dyssynchronisms. The musicians had been exposed to a higher form of energy than their vehicles were prepared to receive and channel. The hair stood up on the back of his neck when Lyle thought about what might have happened to him at the time of the lightning bolt discharge and megastepping.

At the same time that other group members were receiving electromagnetic vibrations from Al, Pearl E. Mae began to pick up visual images. As a typical Tantican from the Virgo Solar Galaxy, visual imagery had been her primary sense modality practically since birth. As an adult Tantican, she had been regarded as one of the planet's very best mediums and healers because her rich precognitive and clairaudient abilities. These abilities really supplanted her powerful talents for materializing and projecting ectoplasm. With Al's communications, she began to see sine waves and other mathematical symbols and functions that she did not understand at all. During MindLink/HeartLight, Pearl E. Mae absorbed some of these images into the group mind and Su-Shan immediately understood the electronic message. The images often had the following associated pattern:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
111 00 0 1 00 0 01 0 0 01 1 00 0 111 1 00 0 01 10 0 0 101 00 11 1 00 1 1001 0010 1101000 00 10 0 1 00 0 010 10 00 0 11 01 10 00 100 0

It was a message from their multimodular computer. Al was trying to establish himself as an entity and was telling the group that the sound beam was a good idea, but not implemented properly. Instead of thinking about putting out one homogeneous frequency, like the alpha and theta beams, a different approach was necessary. Al kept telling Dr Tomorrow that the sound beam must be constructed of a complicated combination of all the different frequencies, and that the relationship of the frequencies to one another was vitally important. That was the parameter that would to be changed in order to exert an effect on the listeners. By this Sunday, the third day of their existence together, none of the Dr Tomorrow Eternals really quite understood their full functioning within the framework of entropy imbalance. Each Eternal possessed the capability of adding a bit of experience and special talent to creating a man-machine synergism, which is what Dr Tomorrow really was -- as both a physical plane musical group and as a thought form.

Later that day, we returned to the house, had an incredible MindLink/HeartLight experience, and just as incredible a rehearsal. All during the rehearsal, there was an intense sensation of something about to happen. After dinner, we fed and walked the dogs and decided that we wanted to sit around the pool and let Quail take us on our favorite nighttime aquatic trip. The night before, we had enjoyed sitting around on the shore by Cape Florida in the darkness. Different Eternals spun folklore and other tales common to their home galaxies from the future. One common myth was that land creatures, after physical death, would evolve upward into a different life form that was aquatic

On this evening, the Eternals began the MindLink/HeartLight and soon felt the fusion of One Mind. Lyle was the designated leader of the MindLink/HeartLight since day one, largely because of his selfimposed meditative training. It did not matter that he was a converted Primitive. Lyle had been a relatively non-judgmental person for quite a while. In order to be able to carry out effective meditative observation, Lyle had been forced to learn how to observe his own process of observing himself. He learned early in the course of his training that his own tendencies toward evaluating things as good or bad and right or wrong often prevented him from truly seeing what was happening. During the Dr Tomorrow mind-links, group members became a unity possessing infinitely greater energy than any of the seven individual members could ever hope to possess in even the most distant future times. To Lyle, MindLink/HeartLight was an incredibly efficient short cut. MindLink/HeartLight was very much akin to instant samadhi. Instant realization. Even if it were not so, it certainly felt that way. Gross alteration in energy level totally shattered Lyle's individual personality each time that MindLink/HeartLight began. At the beginning of MindLink/ HeartLight, Lyle could feel his own personality crumble, and could also feel the personalities of all other six Eternals crumbling as well. Usually, within seconds of beginning the special meditation, all seven members of the group were transported into literally another dimension where there was no such thing as individual personality or identity. This MindLink/HeartLight dimension was cut off neither in time nor in space from ordinary physical plane reality. This dimension co-existed in both time and space with ordinary reality. Once into this space, all members of the group were protected by a higher plane energy cohesiveness. Initially, it was relatively easy to break the cohesiveness by simply changing physical posture or altering mental concentration. As the Eternals became more proficient in MindLink/HeartLight, the group was able to maintain the energy connection throughout all types of situations. Some of the first situations involved the waterside meditations which Quail loved to facilitate so much, and the state of consciousness attained by the Eternals while they were playing music. The daily music practice sessions more or less amounted to MindLink/HeartLights. More of MindLink/HeartLight time was also spent on reflecting about the music.

It seemed that the primary focus of group members was more in terms of how they maintained the MindLink/HeartLight while playing music rather than the notes of the music itself. The songs and the compositions seemed to occur and follow more as the individual members learned to be attuned to one another. First came attunement of individual Eternals into each other and then into the Dr Tomorrow thought form. Then came tuning in of the what was being produced by the musical instruments. The instruments would tune to each other at A440, but the output of each instrument or voice also related to the output of each other instrument or voice in unique ways. Thanks to Al and his multimodules, the characteristic pattern of each instrument was voiceprinted and the overall digital output mix was computer enhanced so as to maximize the smoothness of the way that the tracks blended. Pre-megastepped Lyle was very familiar with music, but this approach to sound production was really out there -- something quite different. Mixing music at this level during only the third rehearsal bode well for the future. As an integral part of the group of Eternals, Lyle realized that the music, the instruments, and even Al, were all tools as well as effects of the MindLink/HeartLight. With that heavy realization, the Eternals came back to the circle they were sitting in around the pool, slowed down their breathing with some slow deep abdominal breaths, and then consensually decided to let Quail continue the MindLink/HeartLight out of body at Cape Florida.

Quail gathered up the group of Eternals, and, as she had done before, transported the lot of them to where the breakwater was located along the ocean's edge. While meditating on the group's music and future activities, a flying saucer appeared out over the ocean and began to fly in the direction where the group was sitting. The Eternals were dumbstruck. The flying saucer was glowing in shiny colors as it approached them. Just before it landed on the water a hundred yards or so away from the shore, the saucer's color changed. The shiny colors became a milky grey-white. Eerie lights surrounding the saucer disappeared, and the saucer gently landed on the water. It bobbed up and down briefly like a huge round cork. Apparently, the saucer had a cover which was dazzlingly reflective like a multi-surfaced mirror. Shortly after the saucer landed, it became almost impossible to see where it was sitting on the water, because the saucer's covering merely reflected the sky and the water. Quickly, a high pitched hum drew the attention of the group members to where the saucer was still bobbing on the water amidst the illusion of reflections. A panel opened in the saucer's surface, and a human-appearing creature with very pale skin and a head of thick, long white hair gracefully emerged from the saucer's opening. Seeming not to even cause a disruption in the water's surface, the creature walked or rather skimmed over the surface of the water to a point that was within 10 feet of where the group members sat.

The tableau vivant which followed was acceptable to any science fiction novel. The creature introduced itself as Yo-Vah, and communicated directly and without words to all group members. The simultaneous telepathy told each group member a story of life highly developed in other solar systems that coexisted in parallel time dimensions. Yo-Vah came from the near-future, but from a technologically superior one. Despite apparent economic difficulties and problems with contaminated water and see-sawing animal residue resources such as oil, the world of Dr Tomorrow was immensely wealthier than most of the parallel time-universes of the present and of the future in terms of individual robustness and the very natural resources which were causing us such horrendous problems. But Earth was pretty much a blight on the Local Neighborhood Sector and was badly in need of healing and love and some kind of real peace. Dr Tomorrow the group was supposed to help furnish some of the healing and love in a direct and very real way. DR TOMORROW the project was a top-secret time travel project from 32,000 A.D. when a group of Guardians supervising the InterGalactic Security Intelligence perceived a possible solution for future problems by a series of measures to be taken in the past. Megastepping a group of seven Eternals was the first in the series of such I.S.I. measures carried out with a strong sense of hopefulness. Above all else, Dr Tomorrow must serve as an instrument of healing and furnish healing light and sound patterns to the Planetary environment through the electronic nets which include satellites and encompass all of the planet.

Yo-Vah said that much of our Planet's wealth disparities were due to a lack of both technological application and ethical development. But that was one of the main ways of defining a Primitive culture and its life forms. The majority of earth's resources were located not only in unpopulated regions and land masses, but also in the large bodies of water and land masses beneath those large bodies of water. What seemed to be innocuous water contamination today would increase exponentially during the next centuries if the rate of contamination is not slowed. Removing or slowing water contamination is the most vital first measure, but learning to use water for power is the step that most cultures considered advanced have been able to accomplish easily. Yo-Vah pointed out that Earth scientists had only begun to tap the potential of non-nuclear energy sources such as the hyperion, membrane, and cellular chain reaction sources. In more sophisticated cultures, it was not necessary to use artificial means such as nuclear energy reactions of uranium and other entropy-inefficient isotopes. More sophisticated cultures for millennia have been able to tap immense energies using the hyperion extractors with basic substances such as water, small carbon-chain molecules, and silicon-based compounds such as sand.

Yo-Vah swore the Dr Tomorrow Eternals to transtime secrecy, and promised to teach them effective and environmentally humane ways of enhancing the purity of water resources. He also promised to show them some effective and cheap technological tricks for applying water resources to the basic problems of power and even some easy methods of water purification. In return, the Eternals of Dr Tomorrow took an oath of dedication to further every possible form of conservation, especially human conservation, but to also work especially hard at making it desirable and easy for people to be able to understand water purity and water conservation.

The white-haired visitor stood patiently on the water and then explained to the Eternals some basic facts about unidentified flying objects. Yo-Vah admitted that many Earth thinkers were correct in feeling that the flying saucers and other flying objects came from another time dimension. Often, the ships observed for generations on earth were just the Guardian ships which routinely patrolled all time dimensions. As a special class of Eternals, the Guardians sought to prevent catastrophes and, in general, attempted to further the conservation of life in all its forms. Dr Tomorrow's time dimension was visited no more frequently or less frequently than any of the other multitudes of parallel time universes. The Guardians had noted, however, a tendency of Dr Tomorrow's home planet toward very erratic and unstable technological development. Not only the nuclear devices, but many of the other secret weapons developed by earth's major countries, including America, periodically caused strange warps and glitches in the time-energy continuum and therefore the Guardian's monitoring devices. Of course, none of the Earth cultures had made any connection between nuclear explosions, time clefts, and natural disasters such as earthquakes. The Guardians, who represented the Forces of Light, had observed actual nuclear bomb blasts on Earth, but were rarely able to find the other hidden devices which caused such even stranger energy fluctuations than did the nuclear bombs. One of the Guardians had been fatally caught by such a strange device while hovering over Siberia. That guardian's life-energy had been extinguished shortly after its captors attempted to extract information involuntarily from the being regarding how to control the ship and fire its weapons and where the main base was located. The captors were only interested in knowing the weaknesses of the alien culture. The ship itself was still in storage in a large subterranean vault in Siberia, but no one had been able to ever open the device. Similar devices were in storage in two top-secret American locations. The American-stored devices had followed unusual aerobatic maneuvers between American Air Force experimental craft and two Guardian craft which paradoxically crashed head-on over the southwestern desert. Two Guardian life forms were frozen in liquid nitrogen in a secret Berkeley Cryonics laboratory.

Yo-Vah paused silently for a moment while letting the story of the captured Guardians sink in. He then described for Eternals of Dr Tomorrow how it was that the Forces of Darkness also had trans-time patrols which surveyed all dimensions for newer and more effective ways of utilizing and controlling life energies in their negative aspects. Dr Tomorrow's planet and time had a peculiar attractiveness to the Forces of Darkness because of widespread planetary greed and because of the erratic and sometimes negative technological development which the planet was spawning. In Dr Tomorrow's time plane, the Forces of Darkness had not been able to achieve total positive materialization. The FOD were still limited to the position of nearly-invisible observers, thanks to a slight degree of ethical and moral development that held forth on the planet, and couple of prophets named Mohammed and Jesus. FOD ships were occasionally visible, but the life forms utilized by the Forces of Darkness were not able to make the physical plane transition necessary to appear in the flesh before the people of Dr Tomorrow's era.

Since the Forces of Darkness had little respect for physical plane aspects of any dimension, FOD's technological evolution was rather slipshod. They had not developed matter-translation or any of the high tech entropy analysis methods to the degree or the sophistication possessed by the Forces of Light. Numerically infinitesimal when compared to the Forces of Light, the Forces of Darkness always existed as the universally present obverse of all that was positive and constructive. The Forces of Darkness, however, were very adept at doing what amounted to pilfering of energy. They were directly responsible for over half of the intratemporal ripping off that was going on. The FOD were particularly gifted at zeroing in on individual beings who had some unusual built-in streak of evil or negativity, and then assisting that individual. YoVah explained to Dr Tomorrow that the Forces of Darkness also were able to feed on energies from some individuals who were going through the process of death, and from many individuals who were in mental institutions because they had lost all of their optimism. Yo-Vah pointed out that, as with many other planets and times, Earth's mental hospitals were very intense collections of negative as well as positive energies. This was due to not only the beings identified as patients, but to the people who worked in the mental hospitals as custodians, healers, administrators, and helpers. Yo-Vah said that it was very important to develop musical forms that could be used for converting the negative energies in all kinds of hospitals to positive ones. Because hospitals often had accumulations of beings who were in some way connected with death, hospitals were also focal points that attracted the FOD. By using positive and healing musical thought forms, one potential entrance for the Forces of Darkness could be minimized. Yo-Vah also suggested that since FOD were always able to focus on Earth's erratic technology, there would be no easy or sure solution. Birth and death, however, were focal points in time that often became fields of competition between Light and Darkness.

Despite the fact that Dr Tomorrow was a limited number of Eternals, these Eternals collectively would be able to have an important effect on Earth's positive and negative cultural energies if the group paid attention to the planetary and basic electromagnetic aspects of their music. And managed to not get caught up in the superficial and harmony-destructive ego clashes of the music business world, where the FOD were easily prone to find individual beings who dealt in the darkly negative side of life energies. Dr Tomorrow learned to think of the entire Earth as one united planet, even if this were not the case. YoVah said that Earth was now ready for this, and that earlier contacts with Earth inhabitants -- in his experience -- had never been more than partially successful. YoVah did not understand why earlier contacts had frequently made up a story about having been kidnapped or abducted by a flying saucer. Dr Tomorrow was urged to look carefully at fairy tales, folklore, science fiction, and mythology. All these forms of communication contained basic truths, Yo-Vah said, because much of this literature had been instilled into Earth's cultures by other trans-time visitors from the Forces of Light. Many different forms of folk music were also stimulated in the same way. Modern rock rhythms had been in part forcibly injected into the slow and recalcitrant rhythm-and-blues tradition from across the time barrier by a closely parallel and culturally very advanced universe. Earth's neoChristians played some of the music backwards and claimed to hear examples of extraordinary consciousness exhorting the listeners to commit evil acts! The neoChristian leaning to nonordinary realities was sensing something correctly but labelling it incorrectly because of underlying philosophical currents of "good-bad" JudaeoChristian moralistic dualism and the basic tendency of such a dualism to be incompatible with a monistic or holistic, "both-and" orientation. "We-they" versus "us" were two positions that Dr Tomorrow carefully examined in the discussions of the Eternals. Lyle was the first member to notice the meaning of moralistic dualism, and he tried to point it out to the others. The dualism and what it meant was just one of many messages from Yo-Vah.

All members of the group felt very strongly about what Yo-Vah told them. There was an intense air of genuineness about Yo-Vah. There was also a slight sense of urgency to his message. Instead of just dropping in on them, delivering some pronouncements, and leaving, YoVah was infinitely more gentle about what he had to say. Frequently, after talking with the Eternals about complex subjects, he paused and was silent for several minutes.

The silence felt good to members of the group as they sat around on the rocky breakwater and ocean wall. The silence was almost pleasurable, and many of the Eternals were aware of their own disinclination to break the silence. At this point, Yo-Vah smiled and mentioned that he had also experienced the comforting nature of the silence. He told group members that it was important for Dr Tomorrow to use the energies of light and sound to enhance the development of creative silence. Yo-Vah pointed out that many of the current musical trends of Earth developed a sound and rhythm pattern that ultimately created more disorder than order. Yo-Vah illustrated with telepathic projection how it was that silence could represent a state of greater order and alignment. Without words, he helped every group member to simultaneously see and feel the beneficial effects of light and sound patterns which were capable of enhancing of encouraging entropic order while also utilizing the positive aspects of intermittent silence. Even though a sound and light presentation might be of high volume, it was still possible to produce a pattern that ultimately induced a state of creative and orderly silence in the listeners. This silent state did not have to necessarily involve inaction or idleness. Yo-Vah explained that the term, "silence," was perhaps misleading. What the Eternals of Dr Tomorrow found in their orderly silence could also be found in any state of alignment or being focused.

As group members listened to Yo-Vah, each could individually feel energy tugging at their minds and their hearts. Dr Tomorrow was supposed to create and produce music that would do the same thing to its listeners. The music was not only supposed to appeal to the aesthetic sense of the listeners, but also to the heart energies of the listeners. The group clearly had one mission of injecting the love, the precepts, and the vibrations of Yo-Vah into the music in as many ways as possible. As Yo-Vah pointed out, music was one form of energy that could be used to unite beings for positive and for healthy purposes. Although music itself could do very little as far as actually changing the planet's energies, music represented both a catalyst and an energy matrix through which either the Forces of Light or the Forces of Darkness were able to act. As long as the music was kept primarily on the physical plane, there could always be other resonant frequencies that were invisible to the physical plane ear. And to the physical plane listener.

The Forces of Light had long been observing cultural development on Dr Tomorrow's planet. Nearly all the musical forms which had developed on Earth were capable of serving as vehicles for the Forces of Light to enhance the overall planetary harmony or as vehicles for the Forces of Darkness to enhance and increase the overall planetary disorganization, randomness, and mathematical chaos. Yo-Vah gently told the Eternals about Earth's fiery death and disintegration in 2105 A.D. He suggested that dates from the future were often relative. More harmony was need both inside the being and outside the being, and this would help to prevent 2105 A.D. from coming sooner. And with the irregular type of technological development found on Earth, energy harmonization was an absolute must to keep the planet from accidentally blowing itself up. For example, chaos mathematics enjoyed popularity during the late Eighties on the planet for some years before the projected appearance of Dr Tomorrow. Chaos Music even appeared in a few laboratories for awhile. Some of our technicians analyzed the patterns of the Chaos Music and found the patterns to have a calming effect on sophisticated nervous systems. Earth's technological and ethical development were so spotty and uneven that high-tech industries could easily coexist on the same land mass with thirdworld cultures being systematically eradicated by famine and pestilence.

The Eternals were fascinated to hear Yo-Vah explain that black holes in the universe represented other planets and other galaxies which had simply disintegrated and imploded on the physical plane. Thanks to the Forces of Darkness, the planets and solar systems that had become really disharmonized, simply went into negative existence while all of the energy associated with the planet was taken over by the Forces of Darkness. In the same way that every cell of an earth human carried the genetic patterns necessary for reproduction of the entire being, and every unit of a fractal contains elements of the whole picture, every sub-unit of the universe carried a similar pattern, called logos that described a design for the entire universe. Whenever a race of beings, a planet, or a galaxy evolved and developed along a line contrary to the solar logos, ultimate extinction was the usual result. If overall development were particularly uneven, as the Forces of Light had found on Earth and in several other nearby solar systems, an exploding star or an imploding black hole might be the result. When a black hole was born, the Forces of Darkness were greatly strengthened and aided. Even though there was nothing intrinsically good or bad about a black hole, its very existence implied aid to the Forces of Darkness, and greater polarity between the Forces of Light and the Forces of Darkness.

Earth was an interesting planet because on several occasions earlier in its development, the planet had almost been bumped into extinction by erratic cultural and human development. Forces of Light, on several occasions, had visited the planet and had helped Earth's leaders to make necessary adjustments that would avert the catastrophe. The Great Flood was one such time. And there had been several others. The Forces of Darkness merely followed along, took note of the nearcatastrophes, and bided their time

Yo-Vah reminded Dr Tomorrow that many ancient cultures from Earth's past history predicted a cataclysmic upheaval and revolution toward the end of the 20th century. The older Tibetan schools described it as an age of spiritual darkness (Kali-Yuga) coming to an end. This period would include transitions of different types, and one strong possibility was making the transition into a productive and creative Golden Age. The color chosen to signify the new age was symbolic. Gold represented not only a form of illumination, but a very potent healing energy. Dr Tomorrow, as a New Age group, would discover a whole succession of different approaches to healing. Most of the approaches could be incorporated within the framework of music.

The Forces of Light saw in Dr Tomorrow's Earth not only a very spotty and irregular development of technology, but definite and widespread ignorance about water--what it was and what it was capable of doing in a more active sense than most twentieth century persons realized. Yo-Vah described ways of utilizing water and energies extracted from ordinary tidal currents that were known to the Incas and other older civilizations, but practically unknown to the planet Earth of the 1990's. Scientists on Earth had barely begun to tap the real meaning of earthquakes' seismic disturbances in ways that other more advanced cultures took as a matter of course. There were not only giant tidal waves, but storm waves caused by seismic disturbances occurring under the floor of nearly every ocean on the planet. More advanced cultures routinely extracted immense amounts of energies from such planetary changes. The Forces of Light considered that Dr Tomorrow's Earth used the planet's bodies of waters mainly for hunting and for garbage dumping. How primitive can you get? By the year 1986, the United States alone was managing to generate at least 250 tons of hazardous, toxic wastes and ocean incineration was a hot political and scientific issue. But not as hot as it needed to be, because no one had been able to predict the dramatic worsening of water quality between 1991 and 1992. As if a critical mass of gunk and junk had been accumulated at some level - despite the political ppm testing programs proclaiming safety -- thousands of whales and dolphins began now the alltoo-familiar "Lemming Beaching," as it came to be called. Yo-Vah appreciated that at least this Primitive was aware of the series of ecologic tragedies with the whales and dolphins. Yo-Vah indicated that Primitive cultures of the planet obviously did not understand why the whales and dolphins wished to leave the contaminated waters.

Yo-Vah spoke of a great need for reversing this primitive tendency, and told the members of Dr Tomorrow that North and South America were possibly the least developed continents in their backwards approach to aquatic resources. A harmonious balance between the aquatic bodies of the planet and the aquatic residents of each body of water was vital to maintaining the solar harmony of the planet as well as the remainder of the solar system and its local galactic groups. Even the supposedly astute Earthly astronomers found it difficult to get beyond their own myopic earthbound theories and rationalized observations.

Hydroecology also was one possible solution to the energy crisis for most continents of the Western world. It would be a creative task for the Dr Tomorrow Eternals to design effective new approaches to water as part of the teaching and healing that the project requires. One requirement was that these approaches needed to be generally simple enough so that school children would be capable of understanding nearly everything that was presented about the new ways of using and conserving the energy obtainable from water. YoVah gave members of the group eight metallic spheres. He showed them how to cause the metallic spheres to change color so that they became clear crystal. By the use of only mental energy, the Eternals learned to peer into the futuristic spheres made of the wondrous alloy. With enough concentration, the clear crystal-appearing spheres became very supportive of time travel in a mental sense. By simply using one of the spheres, any Eternal could easily learn to peer forward or backward with fair efficiency. As each of the Eternals were recruited into this visionary activity, the total group energy began to very powerfully affect the activity of these spheres. The spheres began to glow with such blinding white light, the Eternals were forced to look away.

Pearl E. Mae, because of her ability as a medium, found the spheres absolutely fascinating. She was the Eternal who quickly discovered that these spheres could also be used as instantaneous communicators allowing a direct link to her world of 32,000 A.D. The Eternals learned, with Pearl E. Mae's help, how to go backwards or forwards in time by simply concentrating on the alloy spheres. When all seven members of the group worked together with seven different spheres (Yo-Vah had actually given them eight at the very beginning), Pearl E. Mae found herself in touch with very powerful energies. The spheres allowed Pearl E. Mae to communicate with a force that seemed to go well beyond the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Galactic Groups. When using the energies of the spheres to travel, Pearl E. Mae seemed to make contact with communication patterns in space that suggested a much higher level of Logos or universe patterning than she had ever been able to feel.

Yo-Vah accurately perceived what was happening, and reminded Pearl E. Mae that because of her open channel to the future, she would be an important guide for Dr Tomorrow's musical compositions. Dr Tomorrow's music would aim constantly at higher cultural patterns that went beyond Earth's. Although it sounded very complicated, Pearl E. Mae and other Eternals established at least one specialized use for the alloy spheres. The spheres amplified the MindLink/HeartLight effect: via the spheres the group's mental energies could be welded together for a common purpose in a powerful synergy of common goodwill. Pearl E. Mae's abilities as a medium were amplified fantastically. Not only would Pearl E. Mae give Eternals the ability to contact Yo-Vah whenever necessary, but her amplified mediumistic energies could very efficiently be added to the musical compositions and performances. Yo-Vah suggested how Dr Tomorrow could best shape the development of its own musical presentation. Dr Tomorrow could present music that would be culturally and aesthetically acceptable to the planet's cultures and enjoyable at a very superficial. Beyond that, the musical performance and its presentation could represent, in energy terms, a giant-sized psychic vacuum cleaner. Stray bits of negative energies would be pulled into the vortex of light and sound presentation from the listeners in the audience and nearby areas of the planet. These bits of negative energy would be processed through the group and spewed out as music and light energies that were more positive and of a more beneficial form. Dr Tomorrow would thus reduce the amount of negativity available to the Forces of Darkness. Another result would be that the overall energy of Dr Tomorrow's planet, solar system, and galaxy would become more harmonious and balanced. Using the seven spheres would magnify the overall effect of whatever music was being performed. At no time, however, did Yo-Vah mention anything about the eighth alloy sphere and what function it would play.

Yo-Vah deliberately emphasized several times that as a thought form and as an energy form, Dr Tomorrow had the potential for not only enhancing the harmony of the planet, but extending into other timespace dimensions as well. A harmonious planet became an energy resonator in space, and could not only affect other planets in the solar system, but other solar systems as well. The importance of using music and light patterns to achieve this goal was that the music itself had an effect which could go beyond the present timedimension. Electromagnetic waves and other ethereal waves set up by the sound and light presentations could create a type of energy form that was capable of travelling both into the past and into the future. All group members, especially Pearl E. Mae, had the ability for developing this type of past-future awareness. If the sound and light presentations were put together properly, the group would be able to continually develop more and more effective musical forms that would enhance harmony and decrease energy imbalances. Specifically, it would be possible to reduce entropy imbalances on both local and distant levels. Many other so-called "New Age" musicians and groups had already begun to make superficial attempts in this direction. Dr Tomorrow would therefore easily fit in with the general flow of Earth's music.

Communication with the shining stranger had taken up many hours at the ocean wall where they were sitting. For a moment, Yo-Vah seemed to go out of character. He became very eloquent and enthusiastic. He forecast a bright future for the group, said that Su-Shan would know how to use the rings to communicate with him, and pledged himself to maintain unbroken telepathic contact with all of the Eternals. He also pledged an unvarying amount of his etheric energies that would always be present within the matrix of the Dr Tomorrow theme song. Yo-Vah gently blessed the Eternals, went skimming back along the water to the still-poised craft, and entered the ship. As the entrance panel slowly closed with a high-pitched sound, the ship began once more to glow. Without creating so much as a single wave, the saucer rose noiselessly to a great height, and, within seconds, was completely out of sight and hearing.

All the group members sat in silence broken only by the sound of waves cascading against the concrete abutment. Residual remnants of Yo-Vah's energies and presence functioned as an interpersonal glue much like the morning MindLink/HeartLight. Even a fiery sunrise didn't disturb the unity of consciousness. Only early morning sounds of State Park vehicles and clean-up tractors and trucks sent Dr Tomorrow in out of body form back to the Coconut Grove house and pool. The group energy easily transported the spheres back to the poolside area as well. Both dogs had been shut up in the house, and were so overjoyed to see us back, that they nearly broke the glass panes in the doors opening to the pool. We let the dogs out and carefully put all eight of the spheres next to Al's multimodule setup. The printout tray of the black Cube's laser printer was full of output. It was a story written by Al that summarized nearly every detail of our recent meeting with Yo-Vah. Al's account even described the alloy spheres in great detail. From the content of the story, it was apparent that at least Al believed the eighth alloy sphere had been intended for him.

The tetrahedron and its three-dimensional aspects have powerful implications for broadcasting power and sound through space. Four-dimensional definitions are the only ones that specify the reality of existence. Three-dimensional definitions, according to Buckminister Fuller, are the only ones that even begin to approach reality or the necessity or necessary conditions for the existence of Reality. There are other theoretical aspects of the tetrahedron formed by four satellites in space, that have implications for the transmission of energies in general and the correction of the entropy imbalances of the universe in specific. Yo-Vah said that Fuller was an important Earth-god, but that Earth people, just as they had with their Jesus, tended to discount Fuller's incredible validity just because he happened to be an Earthman. And that was a great loss for them, to not have access to the high wisdom of their greatest native sons and daughters. Earth people were missing out because Fuller was definitely transPlanetary. Out of the galaxy and it's Local Group setting. Fuller was aligned with the highest spiritual planes but manifesting practical, physical-plane solutions to many of personkind's serious contemporary environmental and evolutionary dilemmas that face the ordinary person during the course of day-to-day spiritual evolution.

"But does it really, matter, Sibling? I mean, whether the super-god was given any attention by the Local Group's representatives of the Life principle? I suppose that some of them must have known. A super-god simply does not go unnoticed. Even the earth people do feel divinity from time to time-era. Most of us were mildly amazed at the success that the Nazareth boy had with the masses. That type of phenomenon is always cost-effective from a spiritual point of view and, by definition, is definitely entropy-active.!"

"But, to ignore the possibilities, the potentials, is also foolhardy, Garth. Can you imagine the karmic debts to be paid for leaving out of the realm of possibilities and probabilities the development of a true Mind Mover. To ignore the chance that a real LifeSaver may evolve would be considerably more than merely tragic. It would be facetiously treasonous to the Life Principle, eh Sibling?"

"Yes, you're right, Barth. The Mind Mover is really worth waiting for if it can emerge from a particular Life Culture. Then there is the potential for a Major Energy Shift without the characteristic rents that can occur in the fabric of time. And who needs rents."
