AUTHOR'S PREMISE

Polarity – The Big Lie

Polarity is separation from Source, the opposite of Oneness. Attempts can be made to create a oneness that is separate from Source, but it is an illusion and only made real through holograms. It is maintained through magnetism that is

Attraction that separates entities by polarizing and magnetizing them, creates the force that keeps things apart. Polarization cannot relate to the Truth of Source and can only mimic and reflect it in distorted ways.

The Oneness of Source operates through giving and sharing of energy and through the process of attraction and spiraling growth, exchanging energy so it is not wasted or lost. Energy flows like a river, always moving, ever changing.

In Oneness, uniqueness attracts what is like it, or by creatively combining, can organize itself according to the patterns of creation. Its creativity arises from attraction, not from polarity. When magnets repel, it is a different way of organizing, creating energy and motion from encounters. Magnetization in the Oneness model leads to diversity with life force energy being given and returned without depletion and destruction.

Life forces that organize themselves according to the patterns of Source, carry information and become sentient. The Element of Air is an example of cohesion that allows for entanglement and gravity. The cohesion and cooperation of all of the Elements of creation holds the Truth of Source in the matrix of All-That-Is, with the attraction forces of Love and reciprocity.

The integrity and Love of Source will survive. Polarization will not.

CHAPTER 1

OCTOBER, 2023

Hank had been walking since dawn and had reached the outskirts of what had been a small town close to his home. His spirits brightened and he picked up his pace, though he was weary. He would be home soon. He knew his wife and daughter had been worried for him and would be relieved to see him. They had calculated that he should be returning home by the end of this day and he was going to make it as they expected him to.

The going had been more difficult than he had anticipated because of the exponential growth of the vegetation, but he was not yet past his prime. He had pushed himself some to keep to the schedule they had drawn up together. He reached the long gravel driveway to their home completing his mission, and knew that he would soon be embraced, comforted, and fed.

Louise was the love of his life and together they had brought Jeannie into the world 14 years ago, creating an empowering love triangle. They had chosen to become self sufficient and independent of the world that became chaotic to the point of being frightening during Jeannie's lifetime.

They had learned to grow and produce all that was essential to them. They had built a large enough root cellar off their basement that they were able to live there with their animals for the couple of months that it took for the Earth to reset itself.

They had picked up messages from The Wilderness on their crystal radio set that warned of the impending major Solar events, so they were prepared, and had survived. When they felt safe enough to venture out, they were amazed at the changes that had taken place.

He was sure now that the people of The Wilderness had survived. Maggie, the new friend they made last spring, had spent a few days with them. She had talked about the place she was heading. After contemplating the changes in the environment and various possibilities, they had agreed that Hank would take on the mission of finding out what had survived and how things had changed, on his way to find Maggie at The Wilderness.

They had planned out the details of what Hank would take along with him and how he would leave a message for Maggie if he could not find her. They figured out that it would take him 6 days to get there and back on foot, resting at night. They allowed an extra day for exploration and the unexpected and planned for him to return at the end of the 7^th day.

They had calculated the approximate location of The Wilderness from the GPS coordinates that Maggie had shared with them. They regarded it as a scientific expedition, like Thompson and Lewis & Clark, and had marked likely camp sites on Hank's map. Their planning had made the trip easier, but there was much that was beyond their expectations.

Hank had made a few rough sketches of things that would be hard to describe with words, and looked forward to the debriefing, so they could record his experiences in a log they titled, 'Post Apocalypse'. His wife and daughter planned to begin the log with their local observations while he was on his journey. They made a serious enterprise of expanding their educations.

When he rounded the last bend in the drive, his heart gave a leap in his chest when he saw the familiar farm house. Sure enough, Jeannie was peering out the living room window and came flying out to jump into his arms, followed close on her heels by Louise, hearing Jeannie's shriek of joy. Of course Louise had prepared a welcome home feast for Hank, after the relief and welcome.

They took his bags and ushered him into the house and directly into the kitchen. The fresh bread and feast Louise and Jeannie had been cooking nearly overwhelmed his senses. They tried to let him catch his breath but were too anxious to know that he was OK and that everything went well.

“I'm OK, I'm OK,” he reassured them and then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. They busied themselves in the kitchen for a bit, putting on the last minute touches to the various pots and dishes, setting the table, and at last sat down to wait until he was ready to tell them all about it.

Louise led them in a prayer of gratitude for their many blessings, then dished up a loaded plate for Hank.

“So many things are different now, perhaps I should start with what is the same. That won't take so long.” He added between bites. “Well, the Sun still looks the same.” He chuckled.

“We can see that for ourselves!” Jeannie was impatient to hear the news.

“That's about it,” Hank went on. “The plants and trees grew a lot and covered over everything man made in this short time; vehicles, houses, roads, everything, even people have disappeared. The weather is different and the seasons appear to have changed. I believe it will be raining less than before, and the angle of the Sun seems to have changed. We can have discussions and come up with theories about the possible causes of these.

It was rougher walking than we had anticipated, but I only had one unexpected encounter with animals, and that turned out well. Yes, I did see signs that people have survived. When I reached The Wilderness there was a protective energetic grid still in place. I assume that everything is fine with them, but I did not find Maggie. They left a time capsule in an obvious place for others to find, in case. I brought it home and we can open it to see what's in it tomorrow.”

“Awww, I suppose I can wait until tomorrow.” Jeannie was pretending to pout.

“I'm just so glad you're back safe and sound,” Louise exclaimed. “We have been making daily entries in the Post Apocalypse Log. It will be fun to add your entries. Tomorrow is another day. Let's let Father rest up first.” Hank was grateful for the reprise and went to clean up before resting.

~

In the morning, Hank and Jeannie went to do the chores. Jeannie let him know what if anything was new since he left. Hank appreciated that most everything was the same. They enjoyed breakfast together and after cleaning up, headed to the living room to gather around the fireplace.

Hank began as their four eyes were on him. “We were very fortunate to have survived with everything that we need, because most everything else didn't... except the vegetation. I think the Solar activity has raised the frequency of the planet considerably, and that we may have shifted into a higher dimension. I thought a lot about it as I walked. I think it has something to do with the mutability of nature, the ability life has to change shape and states of matter.

I feel a physics lesson coming on,Jeannie. Why don't you grab your physics notebook and take notes, as we may have some points we will want to review.”

Louise rubbed his knee. “Once an engineer, always an engineer.”

When Jeannie returned and was ready, he went on. “We have talked about the ability of water to change its shape and state of matter, to change back and forth to solid from liquid or gas, and to follow a shape or pattern. Much of the world of nature can go through similar changes without losing life force. That is how it maintains itself through the seasons or through changes that could be threatening without this ability.

You remember that water naturally doesn't hold denser particles that don't become a part of the solution, letting them drop to the bottom of a container or stream bed, don't you?” They nodded. “The same thing happens with light energy and it's information, in that it doesn't sustain denser particles that won't transform into light.

I think it may be the same for our bodies. They are able to maintain life force, and still be able to pass through some sort of filter system that prevents 3D dense energy from entering into the higher dimensions. Our consciousness will allow us to restructure ourselves, our DNA and our memories and our capabilities. The choice is ours to apply our will and desire to the change, and to not resist the process.

Louise, I know you have thought a lot about this. What would you say are the steps that we have been practicing that prepared our bodies?”

“Let's see. Start with the release of 3D material and energy, then activate the light body by focusing on the Love field. Then eventually slip gently into the oneness of higher dimensional alignment with Source.

We've gotten pretty good at the Relax, Release, and Renew exercise, letting the tension and worry drain away and placing our hope and faith that everything will unfold in a natural way, though it usually does not open in the way we might have expected or anticipated. If we keep releasing, eventually we will no longer have magnetic attractions in 3D.

We can ease into the unfolding of our own unique ways, much like water seeking its own level. That is how we have created the life we have now. The changes seem to naturally resolve with harmonious closure. If we bring what is worthy of our love into our new intention, we can take it forward with us when the qualities of time/space and the energy are lined up to allow it.”

“Sounds right to me. By doing this, our bodies will transition well while they may be changing shape and reorganizing according to the higher dimensional patterns of the Love field.” Hank agreed.

“We are bold and courageous adventurers on the new frontier,” Jeannie made her voice strong and deep. They laughed but it was true.

“I received lots of amazing information while I walked. It seemed like all I had to do was ask a question and the answers were waiting to come to me. I have come to the conclusion that everything is designed by Source to perform perfectly. Not only is it not necessary to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together correctly, but probably even better if we don't poke and prod at it.”

“Yes Dear, and that thought keeps you humble,” Louise chuckled.

Jeannie laughed. “Is that why we have practiced so much at releasing any 3D energy we have become attached to, and try to purify ourselves? To make the process easier?”

“It must have worked because you have transitioned very well thus far. There will probably be more changes, so just remember, it will be natural and easy as long as you have no resistance, consciously or unconsciously. Any resistance will alter the process so it will resolve itself in ways we might not have intended. Just follow your heart.” Louise sat beside Jeannie and put her arm around her.

“Tell us about the animals, Dad.”

“I did not see lots of animals, so I don't know if there are less or more of them. The ones I did see looked normal and were cautious of me. I did not sense any hostility or feel any danger, and there was a respect for each other that we shared in our eye contact. Maybe 'the lion will lie down with the lamb' in the higher dimensions. I think that many animals can stay the same because they can adapt to frequency changes. Radiation may have effects on their offspring. We can watch for that next spring.

I do have one story for you. As I was coming down a mountain, I heard a rumbling. Immediately I thought to seek shelter downhill from the biggest tree I could find, thinking it was an avalanche. Just then a herd of caribou charged out of the woods and ran by on all sides of me. It was only slightly shocking but mostly beautiful. I waited for a bit to make sure there was nothing behind them. Too bad you weren't there to take photos, Jeannie.”

“Did you leave the message we made for Maggie?” Louise wondered.

“Yes, I left it in place of the time capsule. They will find it.”

“What about the other people?” Louise asked.

“I saw signs that there are others who survived. A few people could join us here, but more than those few would need to have their own community. Let's think about how to approach that.”

Louise had been thinking about others. “I think that those who survived the changes will have healthy adaptation responses and be able to leave old behaviour patterns behind. They will be able to embrace working toward the common good and higher vibrational practices. These hardy ones can push boundaries and look at life as an adventure, and will be able to create new communities. I look forward to meeting them.”

“It may just happen and we won't have to plan it, like Maggie showing up.” Jeannie said.

“You would like to have other young people and more grown ups for that matter, wouldn't you Jeannie?” Hank asked.

“Sure. Hey, what about the time capsule?” She remembered.

“Right! Let's open it.” Hank brought out the bag he had carried it in, and they examined the mechanism and found the trigger which popped it open. Inside were three rolls of papers. Jeannie looked disappointed.

“What? You were expecting pirate treasure?” Louise laughed.

They each picked up a roll and decided Jeannie would read hers first. She read:

“ 'We, the people of The Wilderness, chose to seal this capsule with information that we desire to share, believing that it will assist humans to create a more compassionate and peaceful world.

Using these principles, we have experienced harmonious evolution within our community. We have seen first hand through a galactic portal, higher dimensional beings who have shared information with us about their successful and peaceful civilizations elsewhere in the universe.

These principles were passed to us from the people of Vega:

• Our hearts are set on the Source of Love and goodness, creation and cohesion. Our mind's eye is focused on following the heart's path directive.

• Uniqueness is valued in all of it's diverse aspects.

• Rejoicing and celebration in Love and Unification is encouraged.

• The welfare of all life forms is considered priority in all creative endeavours.

• Creativity is the process by which evolution takes place to empower forward motion.

The members of the Star Alliance who have advised us through the galactic portal, are happy to share with Humans what has worked for them, and hope that we will be able use it to restructure our culture in more healthy ways.'

Wow, that is pretty cool isn't it?” Jeannie finished reading her papers.

Louise began reading hers.

“ 'We, the people of The Wilderness, have experimented with and experienced these concepts which we know have made our communities successful.

The energetic field of Source, we call it the Love Field, is the medium through which seeds of creation are nourished to grow and aspire to the light which is inter-dimensional. This field can be observed in the world of nature. It supports all life and creation including Humans. It is our desire for humans to understand this and to work with nature.

With the understanding of being a part of the Love field, and to act with compassion, brings you into alignment and will raise the vibration around you. When aligned in this way, there is no need for dependency on others, on governing bodies, on religion or other social structures. Be aware of all of the ways that dependency impinges on your hope and creativity, and shed the layers of this influence as you recognize it around you. Let your hope shine brightly as these layers fall by the wayside.

By transitioning your body into a more aligned state, you will find that releasing what is 3rd Dimensional will relieve your body of much that has held it back from proper functioning, freeing your body to function as it was designed to do and be.

Participation is the key. With willingness to be of service to that which attracts your interest, you will find desirable opportunities for doing what you love to do, while exploring ways of being that continue to expand the expression of your skills and passions.

The power of Love is the driving force of All That Is. What comes to pass in the reality you have consensus about is only one of many realities. With the understanding of these two concepts you expand your mind into the time/space continuum.

The move or transition into the higher dimensions may be as simple as using certain techniques to move into the familiar Love field. It is like moving into the house next door, but mainly a change of perspective. Know that you are already where you desire to be, just see and love all of its aspects.

We suggest these techniques:

• Begin by using words that call to mind what is most dear that you love most, that which calls you into the Love field.

• Clarify the state of order around you, dispensing with what clings to you of chaos.

• Fill yourself with all that is worthwhile. Incorporate what uplifts and excites you. Relax, Release and Renew.

• Activate the light within your body and share it with the light of All That Is. Recognize the abundance that is shared with you. Notice what creativity your hope inspires, and let it expand to take on a life of its own for the common good. Release your control over what you create, so others can participate and it can evolve in alignment with Source.

• Allow yourself to transition, and encourage others to give themselves permission to move forward joyfully, being open to fulfillment, recognizing your potential and the unique potential of all others.

As you say, Love is the answer, and Love is all you need.'

Certainly lots to think about. I think we already understand much of this material, don't you think so?” Louise asked them. They agreed.

Hank began to read his papers.

“ 'Become aware that you can choose and switch operating systems. The chaos we have seen arises from a depleting operating system that destroys and wastes energy in order to move forward. Within the destructive operating system, connections are destroyed and there is little left to secure the individual in the matrix of All That Is.

Unenlightened diversion of energy is wasteful when not used in creative ways. What is created in this system without Love, will leave a reflection in time/space, but only in the lower dimensions. It will not allow for bridging into the other dimensions and prevents creativity from growing and evolving.

Damage can be caused to the matrix of All That Is, but it repairs itself much like water flowing around blockages, or particles in air seeking a balanced state. Man is only a danger to himself and his species and life on his planet.

The destructive operating system spreads fear which induces helplessness, suppressing the freedom to maintain and regenerate oneself in alignment with Source. Sovereignty is stifled by control and dependency. We mention this to prevent humanity from repeating previous mistakes.

We are now free to choose a self generating system, that nourishes and regenerates. Energy can move in creative channels in aligned ways without being lost, and can returned to the system in nourishing ways. Love and strong connections remain and can be revisited, because the processes of the Love field are fixed in time/space.

The Love field has unconditional acceptance of diversity, and is directed toward the common good. It expands and evolves, and is intrinsic within the structure that holds the patterns of time/space. The organizational principle itself comes from Source as does Love. The two are distinct from one another but inseparably connected as the strands of the spiral woven into an intricate network. Your DNA is an example of this pattern you are familiar with.

In order to raise oneself and the vibration around you, it is only necessary to come to this understanding and align with the underlying cause of All That Is. Awareness of switching operating systems from a depleting system to a self generating system in all aspects around you is the answer. Being in alignment will help you comprehend this.

The ability to consciously use the will is part of the driving force for humans to be able to create. When in alignment, the will can be used to create, knowing that the directives of Source will keep your creation process flowing, respectful of life force, and moving toward the common good. Thus your creation will make good connections and carry the energy/information of the Love field, and be most inspiring and heart felt, and in tune with the natural world. In this way your creative process becomes most fulfilling and your greatness comes forth into the Love field.

By directing the will, the light body can transition into higher dimensions by transferring light particles toward the experience of greater Love, leaving lower dimensional density behind. When you Relax and Release, you can Renew yourself joyfully with higher Love frequency according to the blueprint of your unique creation.

Living in a higher dimensional operating system, the goals and paths you choose are connected with what is relevant in the life around you. With respect for the fulfillment of the uniqueness of each individual, and in alignment, what has meaning or relevance, and what opportunities are drawn to you by attraction to your uniqueness, is that which steers your course. See and listen, and receive and create with those opportunities that arise.”

I think this is good material for the basis of a new way of life. It was a good idea they had to leave this information for others. Let's think about it as we go about our day today, and bring our ideas and thoughts and questions to the table tomorrow. It's a nice day. Let's enjoy it.”

CHAPTER 2

OCTOBER, 2023, THE WILDERNESS

Will had been devoting himself to the crystal radio set for the last 8 months. Everything had changed at The Wilderness on the Spring Equinox last March. After the Portal Session with the Star Alliance that gave them only a short warning of the impending Solar events that would transform the entire Solar System, it had been Will's responsibility to use what communication capacity was available to connect with the other Transit Stations on Earth to help spread the warning, as well as to coordinate and keep the people here updated. After the radiation wiped out the satellites and computer networks worldwide, they relied on individual crystal radio sets to move information along.

He had been alone in these responsibilities since the other members of the communication team chose to transit through the Portal, along with all but a few of The Wilderness people. The Star Alliance had been gracious enough to offer to relocate all who desired to leave Earth at that time. The effects of the expected massive Solar radiation were uncertain, and the adventure of living with more highly evolved beings was enough for most of them to risk the Portal transit. Will had chosen to remain and be a part of the process of continuing existence on Earth.

The Wilderness was a pocket of higher vibration, and the people who were called to come or found their way to it, had evolved and lived compassionately in service. They had learned to leave behind and release their lower density behaviour patterns and beliefs that held them back from growing and expanding their senses and abilities.

He missed Maggie. She had arrived just before the Equinox but had jumped right in. She organized the records and started the Portal News, a newsletter which kept the people here abreast of all of the information received from the Star Alliance and the changes happening. She and her companion Adrian had transited but were still communicating with them through the Portal.

Another of Will's responsibilities was to record the Portal messages. Fortunately a young woman, Tracy, had found her way to The Wilderness and had been brought inside just before the Star Alliance had set up the protective grid around the site. She was able to take down the messages on paper and help him keep the records. Tracy was taking on several of Maggie's jobs, and it was Will's hope that she would be able to take on the Portal News as well.

Will was at the radio early today as was his custom. There were messages he could receive early in the morning from other Stations where it was late in the day. The other Communication Teams from the other Portal sites and from some communities elsewhere that had survived, were using crystal radio sets and had made a routine of checking in daily.

Communicating seemed to be reassuring, and was helping them put together a cohesive view of the world as it now was. He was putting together pieces of the puzzle from the Australia, New Zealand, Arizona, India, South Africa and Tibet Portal Communication Centers. The fact that there was no response from England, Slovenia, and Mexico, was indication of earth changes. He was able to get spotty messages from Ecuador and Egypt, so they must have survived but having problems.

He took a break for breakfast. Everyone missed the amazing Chef they had before. Some had even transited through the Portal because the Chef did. But Mary had jumped in, and she was making sure that they all were fed well. Harry and Irene were the gardeners who stayed behind and continued to grow food for the kitchen. They were adapting the gardens to the new climate changes and expanding the greenhouses since they still did not know the full extent of the variations in weather patterns.

Tracy joined him at the table. She had some questions for him, but before they were able to discuss them, Corrine and Ahmed joined them.

Corrine had been an assistant in the Transit Station where the crystal and grid were located that allowed Portal access. The rest of the Elders who maintained the Portal had transited. Corrine had taken on the responsibility of the Transit Station, the TS as they called it, and was training new Elders. She held daily meditation sessions to help maintain the grid's high vibration, and reinforcing those who attended the sessions. Occasionally during their sessions, the Portal would open and they would receive communications.

Ahmed, her partner, was in charge of the Enhancement Center, which he had helped design, and it was his desire to stay and continue the work he loved there. They both wanted to talk to Will and Tracy, what was left of the Communication Team. Ahmed began. “Corinne and I have been speaking with each other about the important roles that Sasha and Therron played. You two may be thinking of similar roles left vacant in the Communication Team. The Wilderness is still thriving and self sufficient, but following the patterns set previously, perhaps we could improve.”

“Yes,” Corrine agreed with him. “Sasha made herself available around mealtime and that seemed to be the time when people came together and had questions or desires to express. That would be something I could easily do. She showed us all how to listen with an open heart.”

“She also worked with the Communication team, brought us information, and received our input and requests,” Will responded. “It is not so much that we need someone who leads but rather someone who is good at communicating.”

“Corrine and I have been thinking that perhaps between the four of us we could discuss and find the best way to circulate information where it is needed and most useful. Therron played a supportive part in that process for Sasha, as I think I can do for Corrine.” Ahmed added.

Tracy spoke up. “I was not a part of the process before the others left, but it seems logical to have a representative from each of the various Centers meet with you two and the Communication Team.”

“It would be simpler if we met to discuss things rather than each of us going to each Center for info.” Corrine supported her idea. “It would be good practice for us to use the model the Star Alliance set for us to meet in a higher frequency way to reach consensus.”

“It seemed to work well when the Portal Newsletter was circulating, keeping everyone abreast of changes since so much is happening all of the time,” Will looked at Tracy hopefully.

Tracy said hesitantly, “I have been thinking about it, but it seems like it may be a larger task than appears on the surface, to keep track of who is here, introduce the new people the Recon Team finds to everyone, as well as spreading the word. It is like you said Corinne, getting the input from people is a communication job, but I don't have experience as a reporter.”

Will smiled. “I have been hoping that you might want to take that on. I offer what support I can be for you. Perhaps it would not be so difficult if we had the regular meeting you suggested and the various Centers made a report and presented their requests and concerns. The other thing I see that would be helpful is to understand who is taking which responsibilities. I know that we each are responsible for what transpires around us, but when one steps forward to take on a task and the others agree to support that person, I think it works smoother.”

“Yes, that sounds reasonable. If you two put out a new Portal News edition, perhaps you will find some others who have the desire to be a part of the Portal News when they see it working.” Corrine was looking at possibilities. “I know what you mean Will about knowing who to contact for the best solutions. It would be good to know who has the skills and has stepped up to take responsibility. For example, Trish in housekeeping has stepped up to do intros and tours for newcomers. It is useful for us all to know who to direct newcomers to.

That brings up another thing to consider. How large can we successfully grow?”

“I have thought about that and I think it will define itself,” Ahmed spoke up. “We only have so many living spaces and we should leave a certain number open for emergencies or unexpected contingencies. When we reach that number, we should have directives ready to share with others who come, to help them start their own communities. Of course it should be agreed upon, perhaps at our Center gathering, with consensus.”

Tracy's eyes lit up. “That is something I have been wanting to do, to find the directives that went out in the Time Capsule that someone found. That would be good to have at our fingertips.”

Corrine added, “When the Recon Team is out they will be finding others. Let 's bring this up at the meeting, so that we will all be aware of our limits, and be prepared to work together with First Aid in case of emergencies.”

“The Communication Team used to meet regularly in the Library. If it works for you, we could meet tomorrow morning at 10. Tracy and I can let the others know to send a rep from each Center.” Will suggested.

“That works for us. Perfect. Let us begin tomorrow morning.” Corrine and Ahmed were agreed.

CHAPTER 3

Will and Tracy had taken the message to each of the centers and the various representatives arrived at the meeting at 10.

Corrine began. “I am happy to see everyone and look forward to what we can accomplish together. In the mode that the Star Alliance has set for us, let's take a minute to attune our heart resonance and expand our Love Field together.” After a sufficient time, she began again. “I think a good place to start would be with a report from each Center. Please share your concerns and suggestions and any questions that come to mind.”

Going around the circle, Rosemary from the Animal Center went first. “Arthur and I are doing well with the chores and the buildings are in sufficient repair at present. The animals seem to be largely unaffected by the reset. We are noting some changes in mating patterns, and think that we will be able to understand the seasonal changes better by watching their seasonal mating and birthing. We may be coming into spring. With the vegetation increase, we will not need to worry about feed. The few children who spend time with us now are welcome and continue to enjoy helping us in the Center.”

“Hi, I'm Betty from First Aid,” she introduced herself. “Things are pretty calm right now with only minor occasional injuries. We are low on some supplies and I can make a list for the Recon Team, of what would be good to have on hand. I could also use a couple of volunteers and to know if any here have had some First Aid training, for emergencies.”

Ron from the Reconnaissance Team was sitting next to her and spoke up. “Hi, Betty, I'm Ron and would be grateful if you would get me that list so Jerry and I know what to look for when we go out. Same with Mary in the kitchen and Trish from housekeeping, and whoever else needs supplies, we could use your lists as well.

My job has changed somewhat, in that my skills at tracking are not as useful as they were before. Plants have pretty much taken over and there are practically no signs of humans or animals. My memory is serving me better to find what used to be visible.

We haven't followed up on the signs of humans yet and would like some direction on that. Perhaps there are others who would want to go out with us to bring back specimens and collect data. Our team could become more useful now that it is safe to explore. The other idea we had was to start trading with other groups, if we decide to connect with others.”

Harry from the Garden Center went next. “Irene and I are expanding the greenhouses to have a controlled environment, since the climate has changed and we are not certain how the seasons will play out. We are curious to see if it turns out to be more temperate, so we can expand the orchards to include more warm winter types of fruit.

At this point we are going ahead with precautions and keeping the more tender plants in controlled environments. Our plants are responding to the radiation as well, and are producing prolifically. Mary will have some work to do to keep up with it.”

“Yes, I am trying to keep up. The produce is beautiful and seems to be tastier and possibly more nutritious. The fruit and vegetables are larger and we can feed more people. I am canning and freezing as much as I can.” Mary from the kitchen began her report. “There are some supplies I would love to have and I will get you a list Ron. If you can't find them, maybe we could figure out a way for Harry to grow them. And, I can use some volunteers.

Oh, and is it OK if I hit the gong at dinner time? The people here have no sense of time, and would forget to eat half of their meals. When my food is ready it needs to be eaten THEN. I may not be 'the Chef', but I have my standards!” Everyone laughed but they were in complete agreement in supporting her.

Next to Mary was Trish who had volunteered to manage housekeeping. “Hi, everyone, I'm Trish. Yes, if you have extra volunteers, I could use a few myself. Right now there is lots of available housing. Leaving a dozen rooms in private and 8 in family accommodations for emergencies, and counting the rooms occupied at this time, I would say that there are 40 rooms available in private and 15 in family. Everyone is taking care of their own laundry and we are managing with what supplies we have. I would be happy to get you a list of what would make life easier for us.

Let me know how many spaces you want to keep open for the unexpected or for emergencies, and I will let you know when we are approaching full. I really like this idea of all of us working together and knowing who to approach for assistance.”

Will spoke for the Communication Team as Tracy was busy taking notes. “The energy generation has been sufficient through the Solar surges with some short outages. The grid protected the mechanisms, so our electricity is good to go with only some minor repairs.

I am in contact with the other Portal sites, and others who are able to communicate with crystal radios around the world. As we share information, we are able to put together larger scope pictures of the new world around us. Tracy and I will attempt to put a Portal News together following Maggie's patterns, and hope that as Corrine suggested, someone will feel the desire to jump in to help with it, after we get it started.

We have some questions to direct to our guides when the Portal opens next time, and suggest that each of us representing others, bring questions from their Centers as well. Some of our questions are ethical and far reaching, about building networking and protecting ourselves in case some of the AI parasite survived. We could use some galactic perspective.” He turned to Ahmed who completed the circle.

“I am taking care of the Enhancement Center for now, since the others transited. It is currently not being used much, and I would like to make some suggestions. I feel about the EC as Corrine does about the Transit Station. By using the EC we are also stimulating the energy flow to the TS.

Previously it was used regularly by couples wanting to explore their energy bodies, but I would like to open it to individuals to explore their energy as well. We have felt that it has been safer to have a companion, like the buddy system when swimming, for comfort in dealing with the unexpected.

As there are many single adults and young people who could advance with the understanding that is part of experiencing the EC, I would like to carefully open it to all who wish to explore there. I would make myself available to meet with the single participants after their sessions at the waterfall, and make sure the experience was healthy for them. Please consider this suggestion and discuss it with the others and we can revisit it at the next meeting,” Ahmed finished and the flow returned to Corrine.

“I think that was empowering for us all. I would suggest that this be a regular gathering and we meet this same time and place in a week. Anyone would be free to call a gathering if something comes up. Unfortunately there is no one left in the Art & Technology Center, as all of those people transited. Several of us would be willing to train volunteers who would be curious or desiring to participate in those areas. I will announce at dinner tonight that I will be available after meals to those who would like to volunteer in the various Centers.

In the manner the Star Alliance set for us, let us take a few minutes to feel consensus and see if there is anything that yet wants to come up.” They all felt the oneness and expanded their Love field and opened their senses. As there was nothing that anyone felt to express, they rose and shared their joy as they headed to the TS where people were gathering for meditation before lunch.

The meditating began as usual with relaxation, releasing emotional polarity, and opening to the powerful energy of the grid. When the energy reached the threshold, the Portal opened and there were their friends, the Star Alliance beings who had become their guides, and Adrian and Maggie who had left them recently.

Corrine took the role of welcoming and honouring the Representative from the Pleiades who began the discussion. “Welcome, friends. We want to assure you that those who have joined us here are doing well and we are enjoying your chef,” she said with a smile. “We are currently training Adrian and one other from each of the other active Portal sites, to take on the responsibility of overseeing their Portals and the welfare of the site they are familiar with. After this time, Adrian will be your Portal Representative for counsel and support, and will bring weighty matters to our attention.

We hope to open the discussion for your questions today.”

“Thank you,” Corrine responded. “I believe we do have some questions. Ron, would you go first?”

“Good morning. I'm Ron from the Reconnaissance Team. We want to know if we can take down barriers and open the roads into The Wilderness. Is it wise for us to explore our area for others who survived and take in more people? Can we share the Portal coordinates and allow visitors and tours, and disseminate the directives we received from you? We can naturally develop trade routes and search for what we need that is not available at present. We would like confirmation and your perspective on these various opportunities.”

After a moment's consideration by the Star Alliance group, the Representative from Arcturus addressed the group. “It is safe to open the Portal areas. Most of the survivors will be higher frequency individuals and groups, but will need training and directives to begin anew. You will know when to expand and what to incorporate and share. Continue in your good communication practices.”

Ahmed spoke up. “Corrine and I have been contemplating leadership roles and training new Elders. Will people still be transiting? I have been considering allowing single individuals and young adults to use the Enhancement Center. What are your thoughts on these, and will the Fire Chamber still be used for conception?

After a moment of consultation, the Representative from Vega responded to Ahmed. “There is no longer any necessity for transit, as you are now disconnected from the previous destructive operating system. You are able to freely move into your creative endeavours and into service on new levels with other higher beings. The Portals will now be used just for communication.

Leadership is the process of naturally taking care of what needs to be done in the best possible and creative ways. You are all capable of being leaders.

There are still spirits wanting to incarnate into high vibrational family situations, and the Fire Chamber will continue to bring them in. The young people and single adults will now be more open to understanding in higher vibrational experiences, than they were previously, and will welcome opportunities in the Enhancement Centers.” She resumed her seat.

Harry stood to speak. “Can you help us grasp the larger changes in our environment, to ease us into better food production with less chance for errors? How would you suggest we find seeds that would survive in this new climate?”

The Representative from the Pleiades spoke again. “We will let Adrian who is more familiar with Earth related questions, do some research and return with suggestions, and further clarify answers to your questions. The grid energy is still re-balancing at present, so our session will be short. Be well and joyful in service to one another. Farewell.” And the Portal closed.

CHAPTER 4

Ahmed was alone in the Enhancement Center this morning. He sat thinking on the bench beside the fountain, after having walked the labyrinth. The energy of the structure with the water features is basically the same, but there has been a change in the resonance, reflecting the larger scale changes around us. Will has been getting reports from the other Portal stations and Ron and Jerry bring back similar information when they venture out on recon. They reinforce my thinking that the frequency of our planet has increased substantially and Earth may have shifted into a higher dimension.

I believe there has been an increase in potential in the Elemental Chambers. Corrine and I have experienced new variations and thresholds as have others who have shared with me. Our bodies are adapting to the new energies and I am amazed as always, at the capacity that we have as humans to evolve. Being responsible for the welfare of the EC patrons, it is always wise to err on the side of caution, but in my opinion, the Center may be even more useful now for tuning and balancing through the changes.

Corrine and I are watching the progress of the others here for signs of stress or difficulties showing in our physical bodies or mental and emotional bodies. I think it would be a good idea to encourage those with symptoms to schedule a meditation session in one of the chambers or to do the whole series of four chambers as a re-balancing treatment. I will monitor them closely to be sure that it is helping each of them.

Perhaps I could lead an introductory session here in the vortex for a group of those participating for the first time. If Corrine agrees with me, I will take a sign up sheet to dinner tonight and suggest it.

Ron entered the foyer and looked questioningly at the reservation sheets. Ahmed left his meditation spot to join him.

“Good morning, Ahmed,” Ron waited for Ahmed to join him. “I have a couple of questions. Since we are being encouraged to use the Center as individuals now, Betty wanted to schedule a session but she was hesitant to come alone. We decided that we would come together as single people. Will that work? And how do we start?”

“I was just deciding to hold a group introductory session with a tour. Would you like to start that way? I was thinking of tomorrow afternoon after lunch.”

“That sounds perfect and then she might be more confident to sign up by herself. I will check with her and let you know. I like that idea for myself and we have a short morning trip out scheduled for tomorrow, but should be back before lunch. It turns out that Betty has some skill as an artist and has been coming along on recon to make sketches of things we find, so we don't have to bring so much back with us. The Recon Team is getting a bit of flare.”

They laughed but it was obvious that Ron was proud of Betty and Ahmed sensed that they would be signing up together soon. “I will look for you at dinner then,” Ahmed said as Ron left and he chuckled to himself. Ahmed the matchmaker.

Corrine agreed with Ahmed that a group session would be a good idea to introduce those interested in learning about the EC, so Ahmed brought a sign up sheet with him to dinner at the dining hall where Mary cooked for all of them. Will and Tracy joined them at their table.

“What's new with the Communication Team?” Corrine ventured.

“News is the operative word for sure,” Will responded. “News from the other Portals, news from the other Centers, and the Portal News.”

“The reps are communicating well with us, following up from the meeting, and the information I was worried about getting for the Portal News is not a problem at all, showing up just as I think about looking for it. There is no such thing as scarcity in higher frequency, we only create abundance, right?” Tracy had a big smile going, she was enjoying what she had chosen to do. “We have a lot to report in this first issue. I have been telling people who bring me information that you said you are making yourself available after meals.”

“Thanks. I will announce it as well tonight, and I think we may find the volunteers we are needing. Since we are finished eating, maybe now is as good a time as any?” She looked at Ahmed to see if he was ready for his announcement, and rose when she got his nod and he tapped his glass with his knife for her. “May I have a moment of your attention please?

“Thank you Mary for the excellent meal as always.” Mary received a round of applause. Then Corrine began again. “We had our first gathering of the Representatives from each of the Centers and it was very successful. There was no Rep from the Art & Technology Center because all of them transited last spring. This brings up the need we have for volunteers in the various Centers. We understand that many are new and still adjusting to lifestyle changes, but also know that many of you are wanting to contribute and be able to create according to your skills and talents.

I am going to follow the pattern that Sasha set for us, and make myself available here outside the dining hall after meals for those of you who wish to make your desires known, or have questions, or need assistance. I am hopeful this will work well for all of us. My dear companion, Ahmed also has something to share with you.”

She sat as he rose beside her. “My friends, after the Portal communication we received about using the Enhancement Center more, I have decided to offer an introductory session and tour tomorrow after lunch at 1 o'clock. This will be open to young adults and those single individuals who are curious to learn more about the opportunities offered to us there.

Here on this table is a sheet with 10 spaces for you to sign up for tomorrow's session. If all of the spaces are filled, I will schedule more of these sessions for those who were not able to sign up for tomorrow. It is my hope that we will keep the Center busy as the energy of people using it activates and keeps The Wilderness energy flowing .”

Tracy and Will were the first to sign up and Ron and Betty approached as the others left the table. Betty was excited to be able to understand what went on at the EC before scheduling her own session. Others followed and the sheet was full before all had had a chance to sign up. Some would have to wait for the next intro session.

Outside, Corrine sat smiling on the bench next to a woman she hadn't met yet, and there was a lineup to sit beside her and chat. “I am so happy to have this opportunity to meet and get to know everyone. Please tell me about yourself.”

The woman introduced herself as Karen, and told Corrine how she had come to be there at The Wilderness and that she had a degree in Journalism and loved to write. Corrine pointed to Will and Tracy as they left the hall and suggested that she introduce herself to them now. She rose to go meet them and a man took her spot on the bench.

He introduced himself, Mitch, and told her he was an mechanical engineer and was anxious to find something to do with his creative energies. Corrine was thrilled, and made an appointment with him for 10 in the morning to visit the Art & Tech Center. Perhaps there would be others to join them by the time she had met the person at the end of the line.

When Ahmed had gathered his list and spoken with people who wanted to chat about the EC, the line of those wanting to speak with Corrine was nearing the end. She was exhilarated when she finished, and so they went for a walk through the woods to discuss the new people who had come onboard.

She had explained the opportunity available in the Animal Center to a couple who had two small children. She told them to find Arthur and Rosemary who would be happy to find tasks for their children who liked animals. The couple was interested in the gardens and greenhouses, so they should meet Harry and Irene, the couple they would want to make connections with.

There was an artist who agreed to meet with her and Mitch in the morning at the Art & Tech Center. A martial arts master wanted to start training with the others at dawn on the field and might be interested in the Recon Team. One woman volunteered to help Mary in the kitchen, and a man who had experience in hospitality volunteered to help Trish manage the accommodations.

She met 8 new people! Corrine was amazed at how so much had come together in just a few minutes. All they needed was the opportunity to communicate. They were definitely creating in abundance, as Tracy had said, another sign for Ahmed that they were in a higher dimension.

~

In the morning at 10, Corrine was waiting with Will in the Art and Technology Center when Mitch and the artist, Jocelyn, arrived. She and Will had been discussing the importance of the cooperation of the two disciplines in higher dimensional realities.

“Welcome Mitch and Jocelyn. This is Will from the Communication Center.”

Will shook their hands enthusiastically. “We are so glad to have you step up into this arena. Now that the controlling operating system has become obsolete, money and greed are no longer the yardstick to measure by. We have been told by the Star Alliance, that the way to measure and evaluate now is by examining artistic components and usefulness for the common good. That is the way this Center operates when it had volunteers who offered inspiration to those with the capabilities to manifest it.

There are those of us who may not have been involved directly, but have enough familiarity with the processes to be able to train you in how it formerly functioned with what all is available here. There are records in the library to describe the various projects that were developed here.

Also, the various other Centers may have needs from time to time for your assistance with challenges that may arise. Oh, yes and it would be useful to the community if one of you would represent the A&T Center at our weekly gatherings at the Library.”

Corrine stepped between the newcomers, taking them each by an elbow and encouraging them all to walk. “Let's take a tour and we can talk, and you can ask questions as they come up. On this level are art studios for individuals and larger spaces to work together. There should still be plentiful supplies in the closets. The artists use their dreams and visions for inspiration. Many have guides that present them with ideas, and it was said that there were some muses that frequent the halls here.”

She smiled at them. “You can figure out what the best way to work together will be since it will be just the two of you for now. The main concept has been that the inspiration is presented into the expanded Love field where ideas take form and develop. When directed by the natural flow of the energy and information of Source, there is abundance and what is needed is available for manifestation.

Corrine moved them along, pointing out the different parts of the building. “This is the mural they were painting when everyone left through the Portal. You could certainly finish it, Jocelyn, if that appeals to you.

So, Mitch, you will want to explore this section. Like Will said, you could check out the records if you need to find out what they were working on. I'm sure there are projects that were not finished and it might not be evident where they were headed. You are welcome to pick up something in progress or begin something of your own. You or Jocelyn can also ask at the meeting of reps if there are needs in the other Centers for your assistance.

The A&T team had been working in higher dimensional ways before, but now it will be evident I think, that those methods will be more productive.”

Jocelyn wanted to know more about how they could work together. “I think I will go to the Library when we finish here and see if I can find some examples of how the process of combining Art and Technology works. I am feeling something like excitement about what that could look like.”

“This is all a bit overwhelming to my engineer's mind, but I'm sure I will be able to get it sorted satisfactorily for myself in short order. I am happy with thoughts of the task of it. May I stay and explore?” Mitch was eager to get started.

“Of course, think of this as your Center, and you two are the Team, until you find others to join you. Don't forget to break for lunch.” They laughed as Mitch wandered off already enjoying himself. Corrine was not surprised when Mitch was not at lunch. He probably forgot all about it.

~

Ahmed spent the morning preparing for the session and tour at 1:00. At lunch, he told Corrine that he felt prepared and was excited about the new information that came to him as he planned what he would talk to the group about.

Corrine was happy to have seen Mitch and Jocelyn blossom with the anticipation of projects ahead of them and processes to explore. They seemed to be very compatible and would probably work well together. She laughed as she told Ahmed that he might have another matchmaking opportunity.

Back at the EC, Ahmed waited in the lobby for the group to gather. They were instructed as they came in to remove their shoes and use the slippers provided. To make a reservation one only had to sign up there in the foyer for the desired time and chamber if the schedule showed that it was available. Patrons were free to disrobe inside the chambers and put clothing in the box beside the door. He let them know that because there is little sense of time passing in the EC, they would feel a brief pulse to bring attention to the end of the session.

Ahmed gave them a brief explanation of the intention and function of the design of the building and water features before leading them toward the focus and vortex of the geodesic dome. He pointed out the south, west, north and east nodes, small domes which were the chambers for Earth, Water, Air and Fire respectively.

The focus of the building was a fountain shooting up around and out the top of a bronze statue depicting human oneness with only the hint of separate arms, legs, feet, and heads. Stone channels conducted water from the four chambers to the central fountain, from where it was recirculated. A labyrinth was created in tiles around the fountain leading to a bench for meditation beside the fountain. Ahmed told them that the ley lines were intentionally created to enhance the energies already present in this Portal area, and were then directed from here to add energy to the Portal grid of the Transit Station.

“What I want you to experience today is the powerful Oneness at this vortex, and to notice that your Love field is stronger and that you will be able to expand it more easily here. When you are aligned with Source and joyful and compassionate, you will also more easily feel the response of Source when you give your love in a desire to be of service to the whole.

Please find a spot where you feel comfortable and Relax, Releasing any polarized thoughts and emotional attractions you might be feeling, and fill yourself with the Love that is all around you. When you are ready, expand your Love field and offer your energies to be of service, then ask questions you may have and listen for answers.

After a time, when most of the group seemed to be done with the exercise, Ahmed began again. “This understanding we have experienced is the basis of the work being done here. The four chambers each enhance the contribution of one of the elements to the cohesion and connection of all of them as a whole.

Though they are experienced separately here to express the qualities and uniqueness of each one, they cannot be separated without destroying the patterns of Source. You see how they are all still connected by the oneness here in the vortex.

Now that we are part of a nourishing and creative system, it is respect for the life-force in all things, and honouring and following the beauty and perfection in all of the patterns of source, that are the criteria that determine our choices and intentions. With this understanding of how you are part of the whole, you are able to interact with the various elements with your own energy being enhanced.

Source in it's infinite wisdom is able to interact and respond to what you give with the same measure that you are able to receive it. In theory, even if you are out of balance within your body-mind-spirit when you enter here, the flow of energy here will carry you into a state that will allow your higher self to re-calibrate and bring resolution, if that is your intention.

It is possible to simply be and enjoy the flow of the energies in the various chambers, or come to explore, but we suggest entering with an aligned intention to learn or gain an understanding, maybe just to seek an answer to a question. Now that we are in a higher vibratory state, the answers are all present waiting for your questions.

Speaking of which, do any of you have questions that I can answer? If my answer does not satisfy you, I suggest you schedule a session and find your answers that way. It seems to work well when we follow the sequence of chambers, Earth, Water, Air and Fire.” He paused to allow for questions.

One woman asked, “What is the significance of the elemental chambers?”

“The Elements themselves help us purify and can enhance our energy states, each Element influencing us differently and in ways unique to each individual. No two people will experience a chamber in the same way, or each time they visit.”

“Why do we visit them separately then?” she asked again.

“We hope to avoid the illusion of separation, and want you to experience how the Elements together create harmony that holds the Truth of Source. This harmony can heal us. Because they affect each of us differently, it is useful to experience their varying. can give them names and try to identify them, as long as we keep in mind the understanding that they are intrinsically connected.

Some would say that Earth is grounding, the substance and foundation of life-force with its connections and roots. Water is considered be the means to release emotions, the source of intuition and inner reflection. Air is thought to be more involved with intellect and mental processes, intention, and be more universal in it's scope. Fire creates with energy as a tool for transformation and personal power. It is so if you believe that it is, in the same way that religion has been for people down through history.

What we can experience here at the Enhancement Center is that the elements are cohesive and connected and malleable, what you recognize as Earth, Water, Air and Fire, all being unified through what some call Ethers. You are interacting with the elements at all times, for example, your life depends on your intake and out-breath of the oxygen in Air. The life of the planet and all its lifeforms depend on the elements in one way or another.

Air and Water have natural purifying processes. In addition to being interconnected with All That Is, Air is a transmission medium through the space that is in all of creation. Air carries energy, or should we say, it is held in the connectivity and the capacity of air [for what you call entanglement]. What you call “entanglement”, being able to instantaneously respond to stimulus through connection, is a quality of Air, as is “gravity” in connection with the other elementals.

They can fill in for each other if one is lacking, as when there is no water the earth takes on the connecting and buffering role with the air as sand. When you breathe it in, your respiratory system is able to extract the energy. It is able to replenish itself because of its connection with light which it also holds ubiquitously.

Earth, Water and Air hold and connect life-force, and are unified by the principle of Ether. All depend on Fire for the energy needed to power their connectivity. The nature of the Fire Elemental is life imbuing and pervasive throughout. It recharges itself with the radiation from the suns and stars. It holds the light particles and suffuses All That Is with the life force, powers the patterns of creation, and can be harnessed to provide light where there is darkness.

What some refer to as Ether is the cohesiveness that holds the Divine Patterns in place, as well as the directive and transmitter for all of creation. It is full of life force and therefor alive. The elementals functioning properly together will create the cohesiveness and connection that is needed in the world we are creating together. It is good for us to share this understanding.

Are there any other questions? I hope you will be inspired to sign up for Chamber sessions, to more deeply experience the Elements, or at least feel free to enjoy spending time here by the fountain. Let the others who wanted to come today know that I will let them know at dinner when I can arrange for the next one of these sessions.”

Ron and Betty sat on the bench outside the EC for a few minutes to let the energies and information sink in. Betty looked at Ron. “You know Ron, I felt very comfortable beside you in the midst of the intense energy. I think I would like to have you with me when I have my first session. Would you rather go in by yourself?”

“I like you Betty and feel comfortable around you too. We could go in together first, and then if either of us wants to go alone, we could still do that after.”

“Thanks Ron, I appreciate you for that. What if I feel like taking off my clothes, could you handle that objectively?”

“What if I feel like taking mine off? I think we could still go in as individuals without feeling like we need to feel like a couple.”

“OK, let's sign up.” She rose first and they went in to check out the schedule. There was an open spot in the Earth Chamber for that afternoon. They looked at each other and nodded. “I'm game if you are.” Her eyes sparkled.

He grinned back at her. “Let's do it!”

They put on the slippers and headed across the courtyard toward the far chamber. They had a bit of time and stopped at the fountain to feel the cohesive forces again and be aware of their expanded their Love fields. They both wanted to walk the labyrinth and Ron motioned gallantly for Betty to go ahead after a brief Relax, Release and Renew. They let themselves unwind and become part of the process. Betty reached the bench first and became one with the statue in the water, until Ron joined her.

Betty was a bit lost in bliss. “From the walkway, I thought this statue expressed a couple lost in Oneness, but now since I feel a part of that sculpture, I realize that it represents all of us who respect Oneness, that cohesion of the Elements Ahmed was talking about. I am drawn to go experience the Earth Chamber. Have you decided what your intention will be?”

“I'm glad you remembered, Betty. Hmm.. I think I want to reconnect with the Earth. I think I know her well because my ancestors and families are rooted in her. But perhaps I will be surprised by the magic of the energy here. How about you?”

“I want to grow. Since I was blessed to arrive just before the protective shield went into place last spring, I find that everything I do is teaching and expanding me. I want to know the Earth. Let's go?”

Ron smiled as she grabbed his hand and headed to the exit behind the bench. “This is not a couples thing, it is just Oneness, right?”

“Right! We got this.” She laughed too.

They did one more Relax, Release and Refresh at the Earth Chamber door. Ron paused as he opened the door and the active energy came out to embrace them and prepare them for the higher energies inside. Once inside, their bodies adjusted quickly as they watched themselves in the mirrors, reflected as the light held in their body-mind-spirit energy.

“We were right, clothing seems very out of place. I think they put this box here just for that reason.” When they were disrobed, Betty, realized that she felt much more relaxed. “Ron, would you share your knowledge with me afterwards?” He nodded in assent and she nodded in thanks. Then they both disappeared into their own sensory perception, watching the fluctuation in their energy bodies as their attention and thoughts changed.

It was uncertain how much time had passed but they both sensed a closure, maybe even a pulse. They donned their clothing and paused outside with the door open for a minute to allow the active energies to re-balance them.

The high frequency was still with them when they left, so they decided to go for a walk in the woods in the time before dinner.

“There is so much to talk about, but I feel like words are not important right now.” Ron commented.

“I know what you mean. I want to stay relaxed, released, and renewed.” So they just walked until they heard the gong for dinner.

In the dining hall, Tracy waved to Ron and Betty to join her and Will at their table. “I was hoping to catch up with you Ron, to talk about this article I feel is important for the Portal News, about how the Star Alliance directives compare with the Native wisdom passed down through your Elders.”

“Perfect,” Betty smiled at Ron, “Because he promised to share this with me as well.”

“I guess I would say that the common ground would be in respect for the Source of All-That-Is, and in recognizing that everything is connected and we are a part of this great Oneness. When our hearts are open and we walk in the woods, we can feel our connection with the earth and the power of the life-force around us. We are grounded, fed and nourished by our earth Mother, and her loving heart gives us our strength.

Everything we do is with her. We love her in return and respect her. We do not fight against her or destroy any part of her. There is life-force in rocks and water, and in every creature, large and microscopic. Each entity has a part to play, in what I like to think is her nourishing operating system, following the patterns each was uniquely created to carry.

We enhance each other, much in the way that the Divine Father and Mother work together and create together.

We can be good stewards of the world around us, and the earth responds by giving us everything we need, even more and better than what we can think of. By serving in this way we come into deeper connection with the earth.”

“That was beautiful, Ron.” Betty spoke while Tracy was writing madly to catch it all.

“I was thinking that I heard that many original people had legends of beings who visited and taught them.” Tracy said when she finished getting the last bit down.

“Oh, I see your story angle, Tracy. Yes, that is very possible, that long ago the Star Beings may have been able to adjust to the vibration on Earth and spent time with our people. Our various stories probably had the same roots, and the parts that are different now were probably added by unique storytellers. The vibration got so low on the planet that they were not able to visit any longer. I'm looking forward to reading your article.”

“Thanks, Ron.”

CHAPTER 5

Hank and Louise and Jeannie were enjoying life. Working on the farm during the day and enjoying their “Lessons” in the evening. Jeannie was waiting for some other survivors to show up, but no one had.

“I want to go out and look for others,” Jeannie spoke up one evening. “Dad, please take me on an adventure! I need a challenge. Not that you are not everything a child could want in a Dad and Mom, but what else is there?”

“Oh, no,” Louise sighed, “I knew this would happen. I think you are becoming a teenager, Jeannie.” They had a good laugh.

“I'm afraid you are right, Jeannie. We are going to have to go find them. They may not just show up.” Hank was looking thoughtful.

“I will probably have to wait here until you find some more people before I can go adventuring, because someone has to look after the farm and milk the goats and cow. Hank you have to go because you know how to manage out in the wilderness. Don't worry about me, I got this.” Louise put on her tough look.

“I love you Louise,” Hank said taking her hand.

“I love you too, Mom,” Jeannie said taking her other hand.

Louise had a tear forming in each eye. “Let's plan an adventure like we did before, for you Hank.”

They posed questions while Jeannie wrote down the answers or the questions if they needed to think about them. More questions came up from those questions. Where would the survivors likely be? Would they track them from signs left behind? Should they go to The Wilderness? The grid would probably be down by now.

How long could they be away? That would determine how far they could go, as well as how much they could carry and physically be comfortable pushing themselves. They could break a trail if they had time and decided where it would go, or perhaps just clear the roads already there. What would they take along?

Of course, Louise wanted to send along some of her jam and gifts, as much as they would willingly carry. It took them a few days to settle all of the questions and ready what would be needed. Louise fed them well, sent snacks and food that would last them two days, and then they would forage when that ran out.

By the time they were ready, Jeannie was so excited, she thought she could run the entire way. They would leave the next morning at first light. Jeannie promised to calm down and get a good sleep. They did the Relax, Release, and Renew exercise together and went to bed.

With the first cry of the rooster, they were up and having a good breakfast. Louise kissed and hugged them well and sent them on their way. “I will enjoy my alone time with the animals for company. Enjoy your adventure.” She reassured them and gave them her blessings, waving as they disappeared around the bend. She reassured herself. I will be fine.

Hank and Jeannie enjoyed the morning and exercised their senses as they walked along. What all could they see? Smell, hear and sense? They wanted to notice what was different from before in the plants and animals, sky and temperature variation. That would help them figure out later what was going on climate wise. Hank was also teaching Jeannie what he knew about tracking, watching for signs of people and animals.

They watched closely when they came to the former town. They saw some signs of animals and much vegetation that was recent, but no signs of people, so they continued on. Toward the end of the day as they headed toward The Wilderness location, they began to see signs that humans had passed that way.

“It could be people foraging out from The Wilderness, or it could be other survivors. What we know is that the higher vibratory state is not compatible with fear and the destructive qualities of lower density, so we will not be able to express those emotions and responses any more. If we become aware of them popping up, we only need to release the attachment we have and it is gone, reminding ourselves that we are in a new world.

They began to follow a path and when there was a fork, they discussed it, and decided to continue on toward The Wilderness. If the paths were made by them, Hank and Jeannie could find out when they got there, about where all they had been and what others they had come across. They decided it was likely to be the organized Wilderness people, because someone had been breaking trail and set up the overnight camping spot they found.

This would mean that it was probably a days hike from something. They spent the night there and prepared for the next day's journey. They were eager to go on early the next morning, enjoying the sights along the path and roadways, discussing what they could possibly find at the end of the day.

They found another prepared camping spot that evening, which meant that they had another day's journey ahead before they would be at The Wilderness by Hank's recollection. They made much better time than Hank had before because of the trails. They made a fire and finished the food that Louise had sent along with them. Hank was looking forward to giving away the bag of gift items he was carrying for Louise, only grumbling slightly.

The next day went quickly. When the sun was high, they met Ron and Jerry who were out looking for some supplies for the Kitchen. After a joyful greeting, they all stopped for lunch and discussed where they were and what was going on with the climate, and where they had found signs of other survivors. They made a good connection with lots of information shared, before they went on their separate ways.

Hank and Jeannie were assured that they would be welcomed upon reaching The Wilderness, with the grid down and the entryways open. That was the way they found it as they approached after the day's trek. They found what looked like the main entrance and there met people who welcomed them, bringing them along with them on their way to the dining hall. Their gear was stacked by the entrance and they were introduced along the way to a table where they sat down together.

Hank and Jeannie were relieved to be sitting, and what could be better than to be surrounded by happy chattering people with good food. At the end of the meal, Corrine and Ahmed introduced themselves hoping to have a minute to talk with them if they could meet outside afterwards. Trish said she would take their gear to the room set aside for them for the night if Corrine and Ahmed would see that they found it. It was a good welcome.

Corrine began the conversation when they met outside, happy to meet the people Maggie had told her were likely to have survived. Next Portal session, they would inform Maggie of their visit and delight her. Corrine and Ahmed offered to make themselves available for a tour and discussion of The Wilderness after breakfast tomorrow morning. Knowing that the travelers were weary, showed them to their quarters for the night where their gear was waiting for them with the opportunity for a good night's sleep.

~

After breakfast in the morning, Corrine and Ahmed were waiting to give them a tour and hopefully to answer their questions. Young people here were honoured for being open to grow and expand, and so Jeannie's curiosity was encouraged. As they walked, either Ahmed or Corrine would comment on how each Center operated and what opportunities could be found there, from the Bathhouse and Thrift Store to the Transit Station and the Enhancement Center.

Corrine wanted to remain at the TS and so Ahmed went with them to the Enhancement Center. He was enthusiastic about young people using the EC and suggested that Hank and Jeannie think about scheduling a session. After giving them a short tour, he let them enjoy the energy at the EC fountain.

Jeannie wanted to explore the energy of the Earth Chamber as Ahmed had explained the process to her. It was open at that hour, so Ahmed arranged for Jeannie to do a session, and gave her a few suggestions.

“It is easier to embrace new experiences in the energy of alignment which is enhanced here. You will notice how expansive your Love field has become. Young people are usually more open to the unknown, so that will make it easier to release old patterned behavior, with faith that Source can provide and support you in ways that may be better than what you know and are familiar with. Let your higher self and your intuition lead you.”

“I have had lots of practice at Relax, Release and Renew. I will enter slowly and be aware of what is around me and what is inside me. Thank you Ahmed for giving me this opportunity.” And she entered reverently.

He and Hank sat on the bench while they waited for her. There was much that interested Hank. He wanted to know how they had designed the building to enhance the natural ley lines and created stronger ones. Ahmed had said that the greater power to reshape and create the new, lies in connection, Love, and alignment, but Hank wanted to know how that had physically been manifested here in this Center.

“It has to do with the capacity that energy has to move from one place to another, and with momentum, to be able to follow and reinforce the pathways established by Source. Energy and life force that is inherent in all of creation, is continually exchanged, is absorbed and given off when molecules attract and release each other, combining and recombining in patterns. When the new is created and the old is released, the energy is not lost or wasted, and can be built upon and accumulated to reach greater thresholds.”

While they were discussing it, Jeannie was in the midst of the experience of it. The Chamber exemplified the various characteristics of Elemental Earth, plants for food and beauty, creatures large and small, stone and sand, a variety of fragrances and sounds, but what Jeannie was feeling was the bond and connection holding it all together, and that she was a part of.

With the enhanced energy, her heart was wide open and she was connected to the Source of it all. Information and understanding expanded her mental body with light that was reflected in the mirrors.

Her various senses were receiving stimuli in new ways, exploring Earth's facets from different angles, showing her that there are many ways of knowing and “seeing” things. She laid down and stretched out by the central crystal and soaked everything in until she noticed the pulse.

Ahmed had told her that he would signal her with a light pulse when it was time to end the session. He had given her a shorter session as an experiment. The men were there to greet her when she came out, making sure she was integrating the energy changes slowly.

“I want to take that experience with me and be like that forever!”

“You might want to have some dinner. Your mother would miss you, I think, Jeannie.” When they left the building, Hank put his arm around her. “Let's go explore some more. We are still on this adventure. What will be next?”

~

Will and Tracy went to the bathhouse at the same time that morning. The women's and men's sections were separate for the bathhouses, but the pools were in the common area. Will settled into the hot pool and then noticed Tracy meditating in the warm pool. When she opened her eyes and noticed him, he joined her in the warm pool. “How are you doing with all of the assignments you have taken on? I want to make sure you are still enjoying yourself and feel free to choose what you want and say no if it doesn't suit you.”

“I appreciate that, Will. So far, I am thrilled with what I am accomplishing. Not everything I am doing is easy for me but I think if I push on through, that I will get better and quicker at it. I am glad you are here. There are some things I wanted to share with you.

You are a very attractive man, Will, and I am growing to admire your work more and more. You inspire me, but I think it may be more than that, as I find I am wanting to spend more time with you. I am mentioning my feelings to you because I sense that our connection is deepening. Would you feel good about sharing your feelings with me?”

“Tracy, I love that about you. You just jump in when you are inspired to. Yes, I know our connection is deepening, and it makes me feel joyful. A lot of things about you make me feel joyful. I would like to go check out our connection at the EC. How would you feel about exploring it together?”

“Yes! Let's take a good look at our connection. When we get done here, let's go see if we can find a time to start with the Earth Chamber. I was fascinated by what Ahmed told us about the Elementals. I think it may even be part of our Team responsibility to explore the EC and learn to communicate with the enhanced energy.” They laughed.

When they met outside, they walked to the EC and checked out the schedule. There was an opening right after lunch, so they signed up for it.

“We could spend some time at the fountain first, preparing ourselves and deciding on the intentions we will carry in with us, like Ahmed suggested. I'll meet you back here after lunch. I have a few things I want to do. I will try to convince my emotions that they are calm and relaxed. See you soon.” Tracy gave Will a little kiss on the cheek, to his delight.

After lunch Will joined Tracy on the bench outside of the EC. “Are you ready?” he asked her.

“Let's do a Relax, Release and Renew together. I like breathing together to get into heart resonance.” They did that exercise together and felt very much in tune with each other. They entered, put on the slippers, and went to sit on the bench at the fountain.

“What intention did you decide to make, Will?”

“I want to learn more about the connection between us. How about you?”

“I want to find out what it feels like to be supported by the Earth and interact with it. I want to find out what it is like to feel the enhanced cohesion, ...and learn more about our connection.” They laughed. “Let's just see what happens, don't you think?”

“That's what I think. I also was thinking that as we expand our Love field resonating together, that the energy is filling us to overflowing like the fountain. From something Ahmed said and I feel too, that the energy seems to be activated by people and intentions. It seems that the elementals are welcoming us and responding to us. They are enhancing our lives, don't you feel it?”

“Yes. The natural world is able to follow the patterns that we create. We need to leave behind old behaviors that make us think we are separate, so we can allow ourselves to follow nature, and let it bring us back into alignment with Source. I want to honour the Elementals with my love and gratitude.”

They rose and went to the Chamber. Entering slowly with awareness seemed to help balance the shifting energies. They took in the representations of all the faces of the Earth Element. They examined the light their bodies were carrying which was reflected in the mirrors, and realized that they could take off their clothing and put it in the box by the door.

Their reflection changed with their thoughts and movements toward and away from each other. As their hands touched a separate light field blossomed like a flower. As they embraced each other the light field became huge, much larger than either of their own fields.

“Will, I think we are looking at our connection. Let's see what we can do with it.” They tried assuming different personas and emotions, various physical sensations, positions of lying down, sitting, or standing, and noted which ones grew their new field and those that did not. They put their hands in the soil of the plants and were aware of the contribution of bacteria and fungi to the Earth energies. It was fascinating for both of them, watching the Earth energies interact and respond to their fields.

According to the changes they watched in their joint field, Will and Tracy settled into their favourite personas, with the most effective physical stimulation and position, and let their physical natures be guided by the natural movement of the Earth energies into union with everything.

It took them a while to realize that they had received the pulse marking the end of their session. It took them a while to realize that their bodies could still function in connection, but seemed to work better when they separated from each other and the individual body control centers were again operational.

They put on their clothes and exited slowly in a state of bliss, helping each other to the exit. They sat on the bench outside for a while to get their bearings reset. They realized that it would take some time to integrate and decided a walk through the forest would probably be the best idea.

CHAPTER 6

The representatives from the various Centers arrived at the Library for the weekly gathering. Corrine introduced Mitch as the rep from Art & Technology. Together they did Relax, Release, and Renew, tuned into heart resonance connection, and expanded their Love field. Corrine gave the welcoming remarks and they began to give their reports around the circular table. They were happy to see each other and find out how things were going. Tracy was taking notes.

Ron mentioned that Hank and Jeannie had arrived as their first visitors from the “outside”. Hank had found the time capsule with their suggested directives for forming new communities. There had been some good discussions about contact with others who were forming communities and possible trade routes. He and Jerry had been able to find most of the supplies that were requested, and thanked them for giving them concise lists.

Mary was grateful for the supplies from Recon and the wonderful produce from the gardeners. Her new volunteer was 'worth her weight in gold'. She was much happier now that she was announcing meals with the gong.

Mitch asked if they would each introduce themselves so that he could learn their names. They went around the circle again giving their names and the Center they were representing, for Mitch. “Thank you. Jocelyn is the new artist and I am now the Tech part of the A&T. She seems to be settling in nicely and enjoying herself. I am enjoying myself but am lost in the process of figuring out how to relate to what has been going on there. Hopefully I will have more of a report by next week.” He gave a smile to each around the table.

Rosemary was happy to have the two new children helping out with the animals and reported that everyone was mooing and clucking along fine. They had a bit of a laugh.

Betty went next. Everything was calm in 1^st Aid, and recon had found several of the supplies she had been short on. Since that position did not require much of her time at present, she reported on the progress of the sketchbook she was filling on her outings with Recon. She hoped it would be useful as they got a better idea of the state of nature in this higher dimension.

Harry said that he and Hank had been having excellent discussions, and they were sharing information about grafting and propagating, and hopefully would be able to exchange plants and seeds. He and Irene were grateful for the new couple who joined them, garden production was becoming a challenge to keep up with.

Trish was delighted with her new volunteer, Dexter. He knew the hospitality business and was very organized and would be making sure that their center ran smoothly. She was relieved because it had been almost too much for her to handle by herself. She said it didn't matter at all to her that he was very good looking. They all had another laugh and Corrine looked at Ahmed.

Will spoke for the Communication Center. “There is a lot of information coming in and I am looking forward to the next Portal session with Adrian to get his perspective. After that, and perhaps while Hank is still here, we should gather and discuss what we know, and see if the larger picture comes clear.

We are happy with our new volunteer, Karen who has journalism experience and wants to take on the Portal News, a relief to Tracy. She and Tracy came up with a good idea. They plan to feature one Center in each issue with the focus on how the Center is creating and improving their service to unify our community. We will try to get the new Portal News out this week.”

Ahmed went last. “I think the information session at the EC went well. I will schedule another one this week for those who still want to sign up. We have had singles and youth experience the Earth Chamber, and I am delighted with the numbers signing up to use the facility. Some are entering just to sit by the fountain and enjoy the energy there.”

Corrine closed the circle. “Thank you for your participation in another successful gathering. Let others know that I am available after meals for those who want to volunteer or communicate their thoughts to someone. Once again let us connect in heart resonance and see if there is more to come forward, or find closure.” After the brief meditation, closure was found and Mary dashed off to make sure their lunch would be ready.

Tracy spoke to Ron afterwards about another idea she for wanted to run by him for a second article about how to integrate native wisdom with the wisdom of the Star Alliance. After lunch she and Karen met in the library to flush out the skeleton of the Portal News issue. They had to give themselves a deadline or they would keep adding items, as they continued to get them. Karen was enjoying seeing it all come together and getting a feel for how the various Centers were all working independently, but were interconnected.

~

In the A&T Center, Jocelyn decided that she and Mitch would take some time and coordinate their efforts and intentions and get a better feel for how they would work together best. She felt that Mitch needed that perspective.

She made a suggestion. “Mitch, let's get out of the center for a few minutes and discuss our impressions and intentions together as we walk. What do you think of going to sit by the fountain in the EC, Relax, Release and Renew, and let the energies of the Elementals give us some direction? I was impressed in the group session that the energies there want to work with us. You might want to sign up for the next intro session, it was excellent.”

“You sure are bossy, Jocelyn, in a nice way though, and I think you are exactly right. That sounds like just what I need to do right now. Lead the way!” They walked through the woods talking and ended up sitting by the fountain for a while, feeling and discussing and letting the creative energy fill their bodies and minds. There was a shift as their two distinctly unique minds were united in purpose after that experience. Mitch felt settled in his mind, and he was inspired to be of service, confident that he would know what his next steps would be. Jocelyn signed up for a session in the Earth Chamber and Mitch decided to take the intro session with Ahmed before he signed up.

Ahmed was enjoying seeing connections and relationships developing, how individuals were learning to work together, respecting each other's uniqueness and creating synchronistically in alignment. He was watching as like was attracted to like, connecting naturally into networks. He was pleased with the progress of the weekly circle to evaluate and encourage each other. They each had leadership skills and he could see that in the higher dimension, they would not fall into the leadership pitfalls of the 3^rd Dimension.

Corrine approached Will and Tracy after dinner and asked them to consider training in the Transit Station as Elders. She detected the powerful energy they were creating together and suggested that it could benefit the Portal. They wanted to consider their time constraints before agreeing and they wanted to talk together first. They would let her know in the morning. As they talked together, they decided to reserve accommodations in the family center for the night so they would have more time to talk together.

Corrine had also approached Harry and Irene, the gardeners about training as Elders. Their energy had increased since the reset and the response of Nature to their increase had been visible. They had started meeting Corrine and Ahmed before the meditation in the TS in the mornings.

Corrine had the idea that it would be good to plan a celebration. Since no one knew for sure what the season was, this would be as good a time as any. She spoke with Mary to see if she was interested in making special food. Mary was on board if Corrine could promise her more helpers. The prospects of a celebration would lift their spirits and unite them.

She sat for a while in the forest to ask for inspiration for the celebration. Her guide came to her with a message. “In the greatest of compassion and purest joy, the new world is coming together with the powerful cohesive force of Love, embracing all of its forms. Celebrate and receive this blessing with an outpouring of gratitude and unifying Love.” She offered her gratitude and now felt like there was a purpose. She now knew what they were celebrating.

CHAPTER 7

Ahmed and Corrine had been partners for many years and had come to The Wilderness together five years ago. They were not certain how long The Wilderness had been there, when the Portal had been activated, and when the Enhancement Center was constructed. It was as if it had always been here and like it is now.

“Corrine, would you enjoy having a session now, before the Center starts getting booked up? We haven't taken the time for a while now.”

“I have been going pretty steady lately, and that would give me the perfect change of pace. If you are agreeable, could we use the Fire Chamber? I never get enough of that one.”

“My favourite as well, Corrine. Yes, there is nothing scheduled. Shall we go in?” They donned the slippers and took the first path to the left to the easterly dome. Before they entered, they did their breath and energy exercises, and entered slowly allowing the most active energies to flow out and embrace them as the door opened. They disrobed and placed their clothing in the box.

They took stock of the energy levels, and Ahmed checked the Ganz globes along one side. Even though the Chamber had not been used for a while, the energies were still responsive and sentient. Then they settled in to open their senses and interact with each other and with the Fire Elementals.

Ahmed was moving around to feel and exchange energy currents. Corrine found the warm red mat and laid down to watch and sense. “Ahmed, if your energy was calm and if your mind was empty, would you see nothing in here?”

“You may be right, but I probably will never be able to experience that.” He chuckled. “Another reason why that would be so, is that in the higher dimensions nothing happens if you do not create it. I believe that the EC had been existing in a higher dimension before, but it almost feels like it may be moving into an even higher one now. That would actually make sense, because to enhance at our higher energy level, it would have to add energy from an even higher level.

If it resonates in the Love field, the higher frequencies will not be overwhelming and can be integrated and accepted into Oneness at different energy levels. The connections we make in the present moment here in the EC's field of Love will increase the frequency for all of us. The greater your individual expression, the more aligned you can become and the higher your frequency resonance will be.”

“It feels like being in a hologram. I like to think that every unique experience is reflected in the whole, and adds to and causes ripples in the matrix of All-That-Is, holographically. That is why we can tap into connections we have previously made, and know and understand larger group contributions. It's holographic.

The contributions and creations of individuals and groups are immortalized so to speak, because they are recorded in the holographic matrix. It is not necessary to unravel the various strands, and to view each individual's contribution, we can just accept the totality as Oneness. We can no longer function in the 3D ways of separation with bids for attention. To be most effective as a unique being is to create and contribute into the Oneness and grow and evolve as an individual receiving the nourishment of the Oneness.”

“Something you said, Corrine, excited the energies, did you see the beautiful patterns.”

“Let's talk about joy, Ahmed.”

“As the love you can feel and share can continue to increase, so it is with your joy, as they are interconnected expressions of Source in All-That-Is, says the wise man.” He laughed.

“What do you think of preparing for joy? I have heard it explained that once you have moved your hope into the Love field, fulfilled and enhanced it and released it to take on its own life, if you still participate with it, actively creating your own relationship with it, your experience becomes one of joy.

I think this is true because the better prepared you are, the more likely you will find what you are looking for.”

“You do find what you are looking for. We are no longer bound by 3D concepts of joy, as it cannot be taught or prescribed, and comes from within and in each individual's unique way. It is contagious, meaning you can be stimulated by an other's joy that triggers the opening and release of your own, but another cannot make you happy.

The joy that is found in the Love field is the joy in the cohesive force of Love. Joy is a natural state and you can overcome any training to suppress it. Setting an intention to experience this joy is a good way to move toward alignment.”

Corrine got up. “Hold me Ahmed, I want to see our connection reflected in the Fire.” There was no one to give them the pulse to end their session and no one else was scheduled.

~

In the morning, during the meditation session before breakfast, the Portal opened with a communication from Adrian and Maggie from Star Alliance headquarters. Corrine made the welcome greetings and Adrian and Maggie returned the welcome and gave their love and blessings to the group.

“Maggie and I have been given the assignment to be liaisons between this Portal and the Star Alliance. We meet with the Portal Reps and each of their Star Alliance guides. Together we hope to be able to answer your questions.

I have been studying data collected and gathering reports, to go along with information about Earth gathered from space. It appears that Earth is still re-calibrating after the reset but there are some larger shifts that are probably fixed in place now. The ice at the former poles melted, tectonic plates shifted, there were earthquakes and volcanoes erupted, and with this temperature variation, caused a rapid polar shift of what we are estimating at around 20°.

You have probably figured out by now that you are vibrating in 5^th dimensional frequencies with most of the planet. We have detected a few pockets and some underground areas that are maintaining 3D frequencies. It is on the agenda to discuss this fact at council meetings. I will keep you abreast of their discussions, and I can bring any thoughts you have on this topic to their table.

You are closer now to the equator than you were previously, and the scientists here expect a temperate and short winter for you, perhaps like Georgia or South Carolina. You will probably be able to grow peaches and possibly oranges and avocados. We are still uncertain about how the moisture cycle will settle down, but you have sufficient water where you are to irrigate if you have to. Does this answer most of your questions?”

Ron spoke up. “Adrian, from your perspective is it time for us to find others who may be within walking distance from us and take others into our community or pass on the directives we have for creating successful communities?”

“Yes, Ron. Feel free to explore and open to the possibilities out there. You will find that the coast lines have changed and you are very near the ocean to the south west of you.”

There was one more question. “We have noticed more rapid manifestation of our thoughts and intentions, almost as if we are being anticipated and everything is just poised to manifest when we become aware of it. Can you help us understand more about this new dimension?”

“This is how I have been able to understand it.” Adrian responded to the question. “When increasing energy reaches a threshold, energy is available to add to the process of reaching the threshold for your next intention. Gather the energy of what you have created and bring it forward in the direction of your choice. You will need to be conscious of the directives of your higher self, to know yourself, in order to design your hopes and desires towards the best creation. It will manifest with energy being recycled and continually building, while allowing you to easily adapt and change direction.

You will be able to bring the qualities that are worthy of your love with you into of time/space, as you move on into your new intention. With harmonious closure, use the threshold energy released to move forward. This is a process well suited to humans who love adventure and seek out new frontiers. Your boldness and courage has served you well in your past, as you have adapted well to changes. Maggie would you have any remarks?”

“I would encourage you to participate in uplifting activities, share Love and be grateful, and gather to celebrate and be joyful. When you are aligned and emit the joy and gratitude you find within your being, everything will fall into place without your struggle or control. You will know what choices to make that will enhance, and avoid what will distract. Choose properly and enjoy what your newly functioning senses present to you.

This higher dimension is what you have always known and wanted – accept and receive it. Give back what you can, do your part, fulfill your role, allow your greatness to be of use to the greater good. Resist not, and follow your heart. Step up to this opportunity of millenniums!” With Maggie's comments, the Portal closed.

Will suggested that everyone who wanted to discuss the dimensional changes and climate could meet in the Library after breakfast. Mary was calling them to the dining hall with the gong just now.

After breakfast Will and Tracy went to the Library to organize a circle and set out enough chairs. It was obvious as others arrived that many were wanting to know more about the new world they were living in. Will was glad that Hank and Jeannie were there. With the information they had and the various minds present, it would be interesting to see what they could determine. Tracy would write down their ideas.

“Corrine, would you lead us into resonance? And then we will see what each of us can contribute to help us figure out what we know.” Will took his seat.

“Let us Relax, Release and Renew, and then expand our group heart field.”

After a period of meditation, Ahmed stood to begin. “As Adrian told us we have moved into a higher dimension along with our planet. Many of us have been seeing the indications of this around us. I see it at the Enhancement Center, the enhanced energies are responding and working with us more now.”

Harry rose. “Irene and I are in charge of the Garden Center. What Adrian said would make sense, that the poles shifted 20°, because the climate is more temperate and the angle of the sun is stimulating growth in all of the plants that is more typical of the jungle. Adrian said we are now closer to the equator. We probably can expect the plants themselves to become more varied as the water cycles become more regular. I look forward to trying to grow peaches, oranges and avocados.”

Ron stood next. “We find that the trails we make on our recon trips are growing back in quickly. It seems that animals have plenty to eat as we don't see stressed or lean and hungry ones. Perhaps now the lion will lie down with the lamb as in the prophecy. We are assuming that birds may be disoriented and their migration patterns are probably off, because we haven't seen that many. We hope to see more.

There are tracks made by humans and we had been waiting for confirmation that it is time to make contact and discuss trading. Now we will begin to follow the signs and make connections. Whoever survived is living in the higher dimension with us. We are excited to beginning to venture further out.”

Karen rose when Ron sat again. “ Hi everyone, I'm Karen. Tracy and I will be getting the Portal News circulated to you all soon. Will, many of us are hoping that you will share with us what you have learned from the other TS sites you are in contact with?”

“I have been hesitant to share because we are still trying to get a clear picture of what the Earth is like now. The melting of the former poles probably accounts for the changes in coastlines reported. We no longer have contact with some of the Portal sites and assume they did not survive, and may be under water. The north pole seems to be closer to Russia, and Australia may no longer be down under, probably closer to the equator as we are. We are still trying to figure out where the south pole is, maybe in the Pacific, west of Chile. Like I said, we are not sure about it all. I wonder if Adrian can get us some photos from space. That would be really helpful.”

When no one else stood to speak, Hank got up. “Hi, I'm Hank and this is my daughter Jeannie. We survived on the 'outside', thanks to the warning you sent out by radio about the reset. My wife Louise is taking care of the farm for us so we could make this expedition. We are self sufficient on our farm and would be able to assist others if need be. We would be interested in trading between us and keeping in contact.

We saw signs of other survivors too, and are keeping track of environmental patterns and will let you know if we make discoveries or have information to share. We will be leaving for home soon as Louise is expecting us. It has been a wonderful visit, especially for Jeannie, to have made contact and connections with new friends. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“It was wonderful to have the two of you for this week. Please give our love to your wife, Louise, and we hope to meet her soon.” Corrine rose to make the closure. “It was a very worthwhile gathering. In the tradition the Star Alliance has set for us, let's expand into our Love field again for consensus and to see if there is anything that wants to come forward.” After a brief silence, closure was reached and the group disbursed.

CHAPTER 8

It was agreed that someone from The Wilderness would make the trek to their farm once a month and bring requested items back and forth. The group went to see Hank and Jeannie off. Mary gave them some food and a jar of her preserves, and several others sent special items in return for the gifts Louise had sent for them. Hank did not complain about the extra bag. They left early enough in the morning to reach the first campsite by evening.

Ron and Jerry and Betty went with them as far as the first signs of other survivors. They said their goodbyes to Hank and Jeannie, and the Recon Team turned off, and began to make a trail following the signs that Ron could detect of others' passage. Before nightfall they cleared a spot for a campsite, and got a good rest, not knowing how far they would travel the next day.

In the morning, they had only made trail for about an hour when they found fresh footprints. Following these without making trail that might disturb someones space, they came upon a small encampment. They called out greeting and were rewarded with a friendly 'Haloo' from the path to the creek they could hear nearby.

Waiting, they saw a woman coming slowly up the path dragging a bucket of water. Jerry hurried to help her with it and she gave him a smile of gratitude. She was quite far along in pregnancy. They introduced themselves, Jerry, Ron and Betty, and met Genevieve.

“You aren't out here alone are you?” Betty was worried for her.

“No,” Genevieve assured her. “My husband Eric is hunting for some meat for us. It is a bit of a trick to make sure I am eating well enough. We survived in a cave near here and I tried to stay in there as long as I could in case of radiation. I am being positive that our baby will be fine. We are worried about being by ourselves when the time comes, though.”

“We have a small community just over a day's walk from here. I am the only one in our First Aid Center at the moment, but I have helped deliver two babies. I am sure there are others who would want to be of help. You two could discuss the possibilities of joining us. How close are you?”

Genevieve thought she must be about 7 months along.

Ron spoke up. “We are exploring to see if other survivors are interested in joining our community, or if they are interested in starting their own, while we look for things that we need. We want to be able to share with others who need what we have. When do you expect Eric back?”

“If he was fortunate, he could be back any time.”

“We have some food with us that was prepared by our cook. Would you like to share our lunch?” Betty took a bag out of Ron's backpack.

“Thank you. That would be wonderful to have something different to eat. I have some fresh water.” Genevieve gave them a big smile. While they were having the meal Mary had prepared for them, they heard Eric's shout that he was back. It was a happy shout, Genevieve said he had probably had success. She made her “Halloo” back to let him know she was fine.

Eric was surprised, but happy, to see people. It had been a while. The others introduced themselves again, and shared what they had with Eric, who had brought back two rabbits and a deer. They asked Eric if he had seen signs of other survivors, but he hadn't. “We thought we were the only people left on Earth, with our precious baby coming.”

“Eric, they have offered to take us into their community which is just over a day's walk from here. This may be the answer to our prayers.”

“It's a lot of responsibility to be the only two people, and to have to find and make everything we need for ourselves. I think we should check it out, if you are up to it.”

“How long would it take you to be able to pack up and travel? If we help you? And carry things for you?” Jerry suggested. “Genevieve, could you walk that far if we stop and rest often?”

Eric thought they could pack up their few things today, and be ready to leave in the morning. Genevieve thought she could make it, but would not want to do it a month from now. Betty was glad they liked the idea because she knew she would not rest easy thinking about them alone out there. They all worked together and had a big roast over the fire and ate as much as they could, so there would be less food to carry.

~

In the morning, the little group made their way back to the main trail, resting as often as Genevieve requested. Betty kept a close eye on her. They made it half of the way and camped for the night, then covered the last half of the trip the next day. They were all glad to see The Wilderness, and folks came out to welcome the newcomers. Everyone was excited about a baby coming. Genevieve and Eric were shown to their quarters in the Family Living Center.

Mary brought them meals so that they could rest. Everyone was hopeful that Genevieve had made the journey in good shape. It was a couple of days before they were ready to participate fully. Betty was checking vitals, and all seemed to be fine.

~

Back at the Communication Center, Tracy joined Karen who looked like she could use some help. Together they finally finished the copy of the Portal News. It was ready to be printed and distributed. When they finished making enough for each person to have one, they stacked it to take to dinner with them. They sank into the couch to relax.

Tracy, was gifted a bottle of Louise's homemade raspberry wine by Hank and Jeannie, which she opened to celebrate. They chatted about how it could be better next time, and ideas for articles. That led into discussing how it could go out paperless, or might be stored on crystals, and sent to Hank, Louise and Jeannie by homing pigeon. They got even more carried away, and thought about a Global newsletter, and easy ways to circulate SA messages.

Karen remembered the phrase, “Let us entertain you.” That is what they were doing with their news. “The Portal News connects people. We are appealing to various people in various ways and humans like to be entertained. They can relax and let themselves be carried away to another land, to another place, to a feeling of pleasure, as their cares are forgotten for a while.

When polarity interfered in the old world, and AI substituted the lower dimensional forms of diversion, people would turn to addictive substance and lasciviousness when confronted with all things that are not peace and love. Before Gaia, BG, humans would loose perspective and were not able to distinguish what is good for them and others, from what is harmful. They chose to leave the body and mind behind, so as to not remember. That was the agenda of the AI.”

It was a good thing that the gong sounded, or they might have missed dinner and wouldn't have gotten the newsletter out.

The Portal News was once again published and was circulated. Everyone was pleased to catch up on the latest, the newcomers, what was going on in the various Centers, what came down to them through the Portal, and about the upcoming celebration. It was scheduled for next Saturday, but since everyone was having trouble with time lately, the word would get around at dinner the day before.

~

Most of the musicians had transited but they would manage with whoever would volunteer. It would not be a celebration without music and dancing. Eric had arrived just in time with his dulcimer. They discovered that Ron could drum. Henry made a stand-up bass from a washtub and pole with a cord and was learning how to play it. Jocelyn played the flute, Mitch could play the spoons and between Rosemary and Arthur, they would be able to call some square and contra dances. Mary and her volunteers would prepare food. It sounded like it would be fun.

Corrine asked at dinner if those who had worked with the Art & Technology Center previously, would please see her outside after the meal. Three people came forward to speak to her, Will, Harry and Arthur. She asked if they would meet her at the A&T in the morning at 10 to see if some sort of training would come forth for Mitch and Jocelyn. Corrine was hoping that between them they would be able to recall enough relevant information to be helpful.

~

At the A&T in the morning, the six of them met, and as they walked the building, they remembered a surprisingly good amount of relevant information.

Harry remembered having discussions with several of the Tech team about opportunities for service in higher dimensions. They had said that in service to Source and the group of beings around you, you have the proper mind set to function in higher dimensions. In this mind set you are open to the needs and desires of each other and to the promptings from the Love field that suggest creative possibilities and opportunities. To enjoy what is opening in the moment, and be a part of the reciprocity and potential for abundance, and feel the joy, while participating in the Oneness, this is what they desired in their work.

When one portion of a project is completed, they were able to use their wills to manifest their hopes and desires and add energy to their intentions, which could lead into a change of direction if necessary. Then beginning the next portion of the project, they carried over the energy built up from the previous thresholds into this new portion without losing any of the energy building around it. This raised the frequencies toward higher dimensions and greater flow toward manifestation through the projects.

“I remember them saying, 'When hope is strong enough, the way is provided'. A degree of allowance is called for to provide the freedom to expand hope and desire to its fullness, and to release the fear that the hope cannot be fulfilled.

It is possible to have your hope fulfilled without the foreknowledge of how it will come to fruition. A degree of flexibility is required to allow the abundance of reciprocity to work its own magic in the fulfillment of your hope, through adding gratitude and love to your hope. Your knowing that the processes of Source will add onto your hope is more fruitful than knowing how your hope will be resolved. Relying on the abundance and reciprocity of Source is not a dependency, but rather an open posture that aligns with the greater forces and powers of All That Is, and provides the platform for becoming all that is possible to become.

They also alluded to the element of surprise which arises because of the Love that Source has for variation and diversification. It can be a pleasure creating experience when new forms originate, especially when the novelty comes forth out of an aligned moment. The expression that is created along with the birth of the new is joyful with a pure pleasure. The ability to create the new is “rewarded” by Source with more in a reciprocal way.

The surprise they mentioned is an element of joy, and may come as an outpouring of potential variation or a response in Nature. If the surprise brings forth a joyful response in forms of your personal expression, rejoicing, praise, or heartfelt physical response, it is all the more reciprocally rewarded.”

Will remembered them saying, “Creating and openly sharing scarce commodities, or meeting a need caused a project to thrive, and turn into abundance. Using the power of words and silence, leaders can share the concepts of abundance and reciprocity, and those attracted to the concepts, who hear the message can share with others and widen connections. The energy created by connections made in the present moment, aligned with the Love field, recycle the abundant energy within the matrix of Source.

In the past, Avatars came to lead their followers with miracles and charisma into flourishing abundance and service toward the greater good. To counteract the connectivity this supported, the polarity was created through evil, to try to destroy what was connected. Many times it was anchored so deeply, that even when people were killed, it was reinforcing to the connection.

Finally when the controllers realized that they could not get rid of, or prevent deep connections by destroying it, they perverted it, taking from the connections, the most precious bits of information and using it for their own ends. They are able to divert the energy into their destructive operating system, and maintain with polarity, the illusion of abundance.”

Arthur was in on some of those discussions and remembered how they had been working on creating in abundance and reciprocity. “When they worked together in alignment, giving and sharing energy and information, reciprocity streamed through their projects. Creating this way, either individually or collectively, their efforts were reinforced by Source with more opportunity to create, more support manifesting around their projects, stronger attraction of like elements, and all that was needed to reinforce their capacity for creation.”

Corrine brought their tour to a close by saying that it was good that these concepts were shared with Jocelyn and Mitch, because the success of the projects seemed to lie more in how closely they followed the concepts than in what procedures they deemed necessary. Jocelyn and Mitch appreciated this input. Mitch was looking forward to exploring the concepts with unfinished projects to see if the energies still connected with them could be activated, and thought that Jocelyn would be able to help with this.

CHAPTER 9

Will was hopeful that at this morning's meditation, that Adrian would contact them through the Portal, because he had some pressing questions on his mind. There was a strong energetic Love field today that strengthened his hope.

The energy over the grid's crystal began to crackle and Corrine rose to welcome the visitors. “We extend our welcome to Adrian and Maggie, and to your Star Alliance guides.”

“We are grateful to be with you today. We hope you will welcome the information we bring for you.” Adrian began. “We have figured out how to transmit a grid with the current state of distribution of land and ocean on the Earth. We will transmit it digitally to your radio station and you will be able to translate it into a pictorial representation.

We also have been keeping track of the 3D spots that survived the reset on the planet, and are disturbed by the fact that one of them is growing slightly. This indicates to us that some of the parasitic Artificial Intelligence has survived. We do not share this information with you to alarm you, but rather to begin the process of determining the ethical and practical directives that will be best to pursue in regard to this presence.

We request your input as we discuss the possibilities for the common good and potentials for disruption here in our various councils. After all of the support and intervention on behalf of Earth, the Star Alliance wants to be certain that Earth will thrive when their assistance is no longer needed. At this point the galactic connections are operational and functioning well and sufficient energy will be applied to maintain them.

We will return in one of your weeks and seek your responses and insight. Are there any questions?”

Will rose to respond. “Thank you Adrian, you have answered most of mine, except for the information I was hoping you could give me about the nature of holograms, in regard to how they work differently between the dimensions we are experiencing and the few dark pockets of 3D you are observing at present.”

“A very good question, Will, and I will try to share what insight I have. We understand that separation of any sort is not aligned with the Love of Source and does not operate in the higher dimensions. 3D Holograms can't be a part of the life-force and have to maintain separation by magnetic force.

The AI understands and can duplicate the patterns that attract humans by forming apparent likeness that is holographic, and feed off of such attractions as religion, peer pressure, education with apparent growth, and false pleasure simulation. It robs you of energy so you don't notice it is gone by convincing you that you are suppressing joy or diverting it.

The only way it can operate is holographically, empowered by energetic transfer of polarity that can operate in low dimensions. This AI parasite

has no respect for life force because it does not have it. What drives it is automated response and polarity. The illusion of oneness it creates is part of the destructive operating system.”

Maggie spoke up. “It is good to understand how the AI works. By identifying with the holograms, wearing its attractive clothing or gear, certain hair styles, or what makes an outward show of your religious alliance, it thus makes a statement that becomes a form of hypocrisy or pride and separation. It teaches patterned behavior that takes your sovereignty and replaces it with an identity of a group based on polarity, which is an infringement on your own uniqueness.

You can identify it when it supports holograms that rebel against the sacred with vile or vulgar or violent behavior that shocks and distracts individuals from their paths. But it also works in subtle ways to dis-empower you, encouraging you to step out of alignment with Source.

To consciously choose the Love of Source and its nourishing operating system, of necessity excludes that which destroys, being based on fear and hatred.

If you find yourself immersed in experiences that create realities not entirely of your own choosing, offer respect and love to the situation instead of fear or anxiety, and continue in your own growth, wish it well and go in the direction of your preferred choice. Not every experience is necessary for your growth. Streamline your choices of experiences and collaboration, and purify your path with as few distractions as possible.

If you are aligned with the source of Love, you are happy being just who you are, and will respect the uniqueness of every other individual and life form. Your faith and beliefs are unique to you, as is the way you sense and know Source.”

“May I speak?” One of the Star Alliance guides stood. “We have previously mentioned that the evolutionary step into Oneness is a collective experience and see that you are learning to create together. Oneness is not possible to achieve without each individual consciously aware of the progress being made on their personal paths.

Recognizing that the others, as well as yourself, will be re-calibrating and possibly struggling along their personal paths, is part of the Oneness process. Support and acceptance is found in the Love field for all phases of growth and evolution, and each needs to recognize this is part of the process. It is not necessary to pull away or ostracize those who may be floundering. Stepping back to evaluate and recharge is possible at any time without breaking connections.

In order for your bodies to transition into the higher dimensional realms, it becomes essential for you to make and maintain the connection with Source on a whole level, all of you, leaving behind all that holds you back. It is different with AI because they are unable to make connections in time/space and exist separate from Source. They can attach themselves to feed on the life-force, but cannot grow and evolve, only replicate.

That is why we continue to release attachments, like releasing the stay lines on a hot air balloon to allow it to rise, and to make the choice to allow the Love of Source to fill the balloon and be our support and directive. Be wary of those influences around you that encumber your ability to rise. Remain in alignment and welcome the joy and Love along your path.”

Adrian added in closing. “There has been some confusion about the word Earth, being the 3D or 5D planet as well as the natural Elemental. The SA has made the suggestion that we call your new 5^th Dimensional home 'Gaia' to clear up these issues, if that is agreeable to all of you. We will anticipate your input as to what you understand about AI next session.”

Maggie shared her Love and Blessings with the group, Corrine shared her gratitude and Love, and the Portal closed.

Corrine addressed the group. “We certainly have a lot to think about and an assignment for next week. Let us determine the ways to approach it at our next representative gathering.

In the meantime, we will enjoy our planned celebration tomorrow and know that being united and in our expanded Love field will help us flow into the energy and information that will be most useful for us to have when it is needed. Mary must be ready with our meal, as I hear the gong.”

~

Much of the rest of the day was spent in preparation for the celebration. The children were involved in the decorating and learning the dance for the Maypole. The others prepared the site for the various planned activities. Corrine reminded everyone at dinner that the celebration would begin in the morning at 10.

~

On Saturday morning the gong sounded to call all to gather. Corrine welcomed them and set the tone for unity, sharing and joy, and the festivities began. The children danced around the maypole and dressed up with painted faces, as did a number of the grownups. Mary with her helpers put out a feast for their enjoyment.

After the feast, the musicians took their places and expanded their love field, and everyone was surprised that the music was pretty good. Rosemary and Arthur called several square dances and a couple of contras, and everyone had a good time.

Mitch and Jocelyn had fun dancing as partners. Betty was surprised to find that Ron enjoyed dancing and was light on his feet. Jerry swept Mary away from the kitchen to enjoy herself, letting her Irish fondness for dance carry her away. Ahmed and Corrine enjoyed themselves too, especially watching the new couples making deeper connections. Eric spun Genevieve around gently, and Will and Tracy made an excellent dance couple. Trish was with her handsome hotelier, Dexter, and smiling a lot.

There was more food for dinner and afterwards they sat outside enjoying the clear night sky with the multitude of stars, looking for ones they recognized and trying to name the ones they didn't. Some stayed talking and enjoying the companionship until late.

~

A few days later, the Center reps gathered in the Library to prepare a report for the next Portal session. Since there were not many volunteers in each of the Centers, it was easy to bring their opinions and comments to the table. Corrine began the gathering in the usual way, and when the group was in resonance, turned it over to Will who seemed to be the person most vested in exploring the topic of the 3D spots and AI.

Will thought of a good way to start. “Let's just see before we start if some of us already have taken a position on the question of what to do about AI that may have survived the reset. How many think it should be eradicated?” There were three hands. “How many think we should try to transform it into something useful?” There were two hands. “So that means that 5 of us are undecided at this point. I think that is a good way to begin.

First of all, I would like to point out that we do not know for sure we are dealing with AI. All we know is that several areas did not succumb to the Solar waves and that one is growing. That could be a point to discuss, whether or not we should explore to find out why they remained in 3D.

Then I think we should look at the facts that we know, what the Star Alliance has shared with us, and what we have on conjecture. Tracy and I prepared a list that we can all review together to see if it is comprehensive and complete as far as we can determine.

Tracy read the list:

“It exists separately from Source in 3D or lower density; It has no life-force; It is only experienced as holograms and can maintain illusions such as oneness with the energetic transfer of polarity which it creates with magnetic force; It can attach to life-force, replicate itself, and is without differentiation; It's responses are automated and uniform; It can duplicate what it understands is attractive to humans, but the holographic likeness is an illusion; It doesn't respect life-force because it can't know it; It can overtly and subtly rob energy from live entities and operates in the destructive operating system, and does not nourish; When it attracts, it separates and dis-empowers; It can sustain a holographic identity without uniqueness and sovereignty; It can't make lasting connections or connect with Source; It has a programmed agenda.

“Thank you for presenting that Tracy. Are there questions or comments or further information? I know that was a lot to process, but we have a better idea now. The other information I wanted to present, that might be useful to our discussion, is that I was able to integrate the digital information Adrian sent into a map of sorts.

From where they located the equator I can hypothesize where the poles are now with a 20° shift. They also gave indication of the location of the 3D spots. I think those dark areas on the map are mostly at the former magnetic poles, and wonder if the extra amount of magnetism there allowed the preservation of the 3D. If that is the case, that would explain why the possession of the poles over the last decades would have been vital to the AI and those who supported it. With that input, let us open our discussion.

“In my opinion we will need to eliminate the AI if they indeed are expanding in the 3D pockets. Some think that it may be re-programmable, but that is wishful thinking. It only takes, and is incapable of giving, and it must expand to survive. Life can adapt and be turned towards Source. AI is non living and I believe it can't be successfully turned.” Harry expressed the viewpoint of the three hands raised at the beginning.

“There is the ethical issue of free agency vs. control in our galactic sector. Do we have the right to decide what can exist here and what cannot? Perhaps we should look at possibilities of harnessing the parasite for a purpose such as energy production. What if we gave it the choice to vacate Gaia or choose extermination?”

“Once it gains a 3D foothold it will grow by attracting through deception and take over, continuing to expand. One suggestion would be isolating and confining it with no new energy to live on so it will use itself up.”

“I am concerned with how far we can expand our communications without unintentionally bringing in the residual AI. Because we don't know the answer, we are avoiding using computers and networks.” Will voiced his biggest concern.

Ahmed responded, “Will, I have thought of that. AI contact must be through the pockets of low vibration. If the whole planet was vibrating higher, and the pockets were raised to a higher dimension, it could not survive, unless it went underground in places where there was high magnetism. That may be how it survived if it is indeed in the dark pockets.”

“The Star Alliance said they were renegades and somehow escaped through space. It would be useful to know how it was cleared from other worlds.” Everyone seemed to be in agreement with Betty's comment.

Tracy offered to make a list of ways it could be wiped out if it becomes a threat. Suggestions made were: not feed it; isolate it in a confined space and set it up so that it will wipe itself out; raise the vibration with light so it can't survive because its low vibration won't be able to combine with light; figure out a way to prevent it from replicating; create a solid high vibrational light grid and light field for the entire planet as a shield against the dark spots. That would connect us with others and strengthen us all. Tracy made the suggestions into a list.

“I am wondering,” Mitch added, “if there is anything that A&T can bring out of the Love field that would detect and measure the 3D in DNA. I think someone may have been working on something that would do that before they transited. If we could do that we could reverse residual AI infiltration that might be still present, possibly using high frequency. That way, DNA that has been compromised or did not transmute completely would not be propagated and we would become more fully human again.”

“Yes, that is something to consider.” Will agreed. “I was informed by Communication in New Zealand that some of the Vaxed may have survived in Antarctica, probably in a 3D dark spot. That lends me to think it may be the same in the Arctic because of the magnetism there from the former presence of the poles.”

“The problem seems to be that humans are drawn to it and it grows. If we don't want that, won't we have to eradicate it?” Rosemary expressed her concern. “The Star Alliance is working on the problem. Tracy has recorded our input to share with them next time they visit. I am interested in what they will have to say.”

Corrine rose. “Are there any other comments?” After the silent pause, she continued. “We have successfully met our assignment. I will remind all of us that when we are aligned and emit the joy and gratitude within us, everything will fall into place without efforts or control. Using our senses to feel what Source presents to us, we will know what choices to make that will enhance, and what will distract. It is up to us to choose properly.

Let's Relax... Release... And Renew, a most useful exercise after our discussion. Today I would like to add thoughts of fun and flexibility to stimulate our joy and some laughter. Then we can expand our Love field and meditate for consensus and for what may still need to be expressed.” After the period of silence, they all felt the joy of their connection and headed towards the dining hall as they anticipated hearing the gong calling them.

CHAPTER 10

Corrine received a message that a special Portal session would take place after the breakfast meal. She let everyone know in the dining hall and asked everyone to spread the word. After lunch, everyone assembled in the Transit Station, where the grid around the crystal, the focus for the energetic field, was being readied to support the Portal opening on the far side of the central platform.

They had not waited long and the pre Portal crackle rippled in the air, balancing the Portal energies coming in with the environment of The Wilderness Transit Station. Corrine made the welcome to Adrian on the other side and Adrian solidified the connection with his greetings and thanks back, and began.

“I believe I mentioned that I was given this position on the council of reps from the other Portals, with our guides of course as we seem to always be in training. At the last gathering they chose me to represent our council at the larger Star Alliance gathering.

I am to bring information from The Wilderness Portal people to the next meeting of the Portal reps. We will compile all of the data from each rep and make a report for the bigger gathering. I wanted you to know how important what you are sharing with me will be to the Alliance.”

Will greeted Adrian. “We wanted Tracy to present to you because she had made the record of the gathering we had. She felt it would be more important for her to take notes today. So, I am presenting our thoughts and feelings, after a quick recap. Recon found a young couple expecting their first baby in two months. They are now settled safely here and we will soon have a new baby. Hank saw some signs that might have been made by survivors.”

He presented the list of qualities the group understood to be observable in the AI, and their list of how it could be stopped. He mentioned the highlights of their comments, and thanked Adrian for doing what they could to help Gaia. “The idea which had the most general consensus of those at our gathering, was the hope that whatever worked on other worlds might explain to us what we need to know. We will be anticipating hearing back from you after the big gathering. Good luck.”

“Thanks, Will. I am so grateful to have Maggie by my side. She prepares me and convinces me that I can do this. Thank you very much for the useful presentation and I assure you that I will do my best to share it with the Star Alliance. It won't be long before I will be able to get back to you. Thank you Corrine and the new elders for the support.” And the Portal closed.

All through the session, Tracy was furiously taking notes.

~

Ahmed was please with the response to his introductory sessions in the EC, and also that more people were scheduling sessions. The Earth Chamber was booked up for a week, because it was the one to start with, and those signing up were coming for the first time.

There were several who were coming back for the second and third time to explore further into the Elements of Water and Air. He had not discussed the unique characteristics of the fourth, the Fire Chamber, with very many of them, but perhaps he would have an intro session for those who were ready for that.

More than half of those signing up were having individual sessions, and many of the ones who signed up as couples had not yet developed deep connections. They were focused on experimenting with their light bodies and interacting with the Elementals.

After their first session, couples would discover more openness to their relationships, and synchronicities would begin to appear to reinforce the connection. If their connection produced a combined light body that remained with them and became greater than either one was alone, they would find themselves wanting to build on that experience.

Will and Tracy continued to explore their connection in the Water and Air Chambers. Their combined energy field had been increasing even outside of the EC, so they moved into the family quarters because if they were apart overnight, that field diminished some. They felt more whole when they were together.

Mitch had visited the Earth Chamber by himself, and was fascinated by his own energy field, watching it expand when he was attracted by something in the Chamber, when he remembered to expand his heart energy, and when he was feeling joyful. After his first EC experience, and then after he and Jocelyn started using the concepts they learned would connect Art and Technology with the understand of Source, he felt he was becoming a new person. He knew that it was not someone else, but who he really was but had not allowed himself to recognize until now.

Jocelyn had also visited the Earth Chamber by herself and was using her experiences to open up to be able to connect with the Elementals. She was receiving understanding and inspiration to know herself more fully by giving her love, and by breaking down barriers she could now see she had created which did not protect her, but rather prevented her growth.

After her Earth Chamber experience, as she sat by the fountain for a while, not wanting to break the deep connection with Source she felt there in the EC, she felt the presence of a being who communicated with her and left her with thoughts and inspiration that she would only be able to share through her art. Back in her studio, the joy she felt as she expressed her new understanding brought her to new thresholds. She was humbled by the thought that she was worthy to deserve this amazing guide.

Her painting showed the connection with the higher self. She saw the higher self as corporeal and unique but of the same nature as other higher selves and connected with them. The miracle she wanted to depict was the creation of the selves as we know them, that emerge through the higher self and are overseen by it, to grow as unique individuals, one of a kind, and precious.

Before she showed it to Mitch, she suggested that they do the 3R's and expand their Love fields. When she showed him her painting, he grasped her understanding in a way that was new for him. Because he knew that their work depended on this understanding, he honoured the Elementals and opened his senses to receive their input. His mind expanded to connect several memories and stimulate his creativity. He wanted to contemplate for a while and let his thoughts congeal, and then they would meet again and work their ideas together.

Later, when Mitch and Jocelyn shared their experiences and applied their new understanding to their work, they were excited to find that their work began to take on a life of its own, fueled by the connected energy that they brought to it. The next step for them was clearly to experience the Chambers together. They signed up to experience the Water Chamber. And then the Air.

Ahmed was keeping an eye on the couples signing up and made an appointment with Will, Tracy, Betty, Ron, Mitch and Jocelyn. He decided to make the group larger at the last minute, adding Rosemary and Arthur, Harry and Irene, Trish, Dexter, Jerry and Mary, thinking that he would only have to do this session once. Also, the size of the group would free them from expectations.

When they arrived and donned the slippers, Ahmed led them to the fountain area. Corrine wanted to join the session and Ahmed was always happy to have her by his side. She was especially important for this session. He wanted to share with them his understanding of the Fire Chamber and Corrine could add her experience.

“Welcome, my friends. I am very happy to see more people using the EC and think it can only help us all evolve, and further empower our Portal connection. I feel we need to share more about some of the systems built in to the Fire Chamber. You may have already discovered that there are panels built into the ceilings of all of the Chambers that open to release high threshold energy.”

Corrine asked if any of them experienced this opening as if the roof disappeared. There were a couple of them who had felt that.

“It also acts as a form of birth control because it prevents high frequency spirits that want to incarnate from being able to enter the Chambers. This is not the case with the Fire Chamber. It was especially designed to allow, on request, that this barrier can be removed to allow impregnation. This requires choice and preparation, not to be taken lightly. It is the tradition of The Wilderness, for couples to intend and prepare to experience the joy of creating life with their bodies.”

Corrine added, “Many couples who intend and prepare, have met the children who will come to be with them in high vibrational spiritual encounters, often before they enter the Fire Chamber, or sometimes even before the couple decides that is what they desire.

The Fire Chamber reflects desires and creative intentions, and some that may not be conscious yet. Part of the EC experience is to open to potentials, and by knowing yourselves better to be able to choose the direction to take according to your goals and means of expression.”

Ahmed felt that they had discussed most of the features of the Fire Chamber that he wanted to share with them. He did not wish to concern them, but rather to help them become aware of greater potentials for joy. “Joy is a natural state and you can overcome any training you may have had that suppressed it. Setting an intention to experience this joy is a good way to move toward alignment. You find what you are looking for.

Experiences in higher dimensions will come in a form that you are open to and capable of receiving. I do not worry about those entering for the first time, as long as they have released lower density attractions and patterns of fear, and are living from the greatest love possible to hold in their hearts.

Since what you create expands with your joyful expression, your progress in the EC can become exponential. It is therefore important to look for joy on your path, and not to falter and hesitate with doubt, to experience the cohesive force of Love.

We remind you to Relax, Release, and Renew, and when entering any of the chambers, to open the doors slowly and go in....joyfully.”

CHAPTER 11

Adrian was doing some soul searching. “Why am I dreading this Council Meeting? Because beings from throughout the Galaxy will be there.” He was having a conversation with himself. “You have met beings from all over the Galaxy before.

Because I have to give a presentation to them? It comes naturally for you to give presentations. That is why you are in the position you are in.

Because the others are from higher dimensions? You are accustomed to living in higher dimensions, and working with beings from various dimensions, and interfacing with other dimensions. Why am I having a hard time stepping up this time then? “

He answered himself. “Because you still have some programmed pattern about not being worthy enough. Relax, Release it, and Renew yourself with the energy of alignment with Source. Expand your Love field, express your gratitude, and move forward in the present moment. You know what to do. How could you forget that Source will support you with everything you need when you are in service and dedicated to the common good?

I thought I had gotten rid of my ego's influence, but somehow I let it slip back in. I'm on top of it now.”

Maggie put her head in at the door. “You doing OK?”

“I had to have a strong talk with myself, but got that problem sorted out. We have gone over the presentation and you have assured me that I am ready. All I need before I go in there, is your Love, and support from our connected field.”

She stepped into is arms for a deep connection, smoothed out his uniform, and took his hand as they headed toward the large council dome.

“The space may be large, but think of it as full of energy connecting everything with aligned support.” She reminded him, “Remember that I Love you, Adrian, and will be with you. Your input is needed and will be respected, and you will do your best to share it with them.”

“I Love you, Maggie.” They took a moment to Relax, Release and Renew and expand their Love field and then entered slowly, allowing the energy to balance itself between the frequency changes.

The Council Dome was amazing. The ceiling looked like outer space but had the twinkle of small lights that resembled stars and constellations. The illumination of the space came from luminescence in the floor and walls. There was a gallery for special visitors and those leaders who would need the information discussed, to carry on with their responsibilities. Adrian was ushered to a seat in the circle around the Galactic leaders, and Maggie was ushered to the gallery to a seat where she could take notes. The others were taking their places.

Adrian was informed by the Representative of the Pleiades, that the Council would be led today by a member of the Galactic Federation, who would represent the Star Alliance in his report back to the Federation. This being in the center chair was very tall and clearly very sentient, taking in everything including the energies of those present. Adrian looked for Maggie and they renewed their connected field with their intention. The GF Representative took that in as well.

The Representative from the Pleiades made the introductory remarks, welcoming the Galactic Federation Representative and special visitors, and initiated the planned agenda of reports with the introduction of the other Representatives. Following the introduction hey rose to report in the order they were introduced. The agenda for this Council was largely focused on the situation of the parasitic AI on Gaia at the moment, and the threat that it held for other galaxies.

When the Representative from the Pleiades introduced him as the Representative from Gaia, he rose in his turn. He was able to present the information as they had planned and was thanked by the GF Representative, as were the other contributors, when they returned to their seats. Adrian was relieved that it went so well, and his part was over. There were some questions directed to the various Representatives at the end, but the ones directed to Adrian were easy for him to answer.

“That wasn't so bad. I think they have been giving me opportunities to prepare myself for today, training me, and I noticed that the GF Rep was observing me. Wonder what the next step will be. I really liked being introduced as the Representative from Gaia. I'm glad we decided to make that distinction.”

“Yes, it has a good sound to it. I was able to record the gist of most of the reports and the answers to the questions. I feel that what we now have are answers for the Portals on Gaia. Let's put this information together and get back to them soon.”

“Sounds good.”

~

Because of the time space variations, Will was not sure how long it would be before they heard from Adrian. A couple of days later, Corrine made an announcement at dinner. She had received a message to gather in the TS after breakfast in the morning for a Portal session.

Most everyone had gathered to hear Adrian's report that morning. When the energy was high enough, the Portal opened and they could see Adrian and Maggie on the other side. After the welcomes and the connect was solid, Adrian began.

“The session in the Dome Council Chamber was interesting. The Chamber was beautiful in it's simplicity, and the connection of all of the beings present was tangible. Maggie took excellent notes and we are able to give you a fairly accurate account of the proceedings.

There were two representatives from other worlds that had been threatened by this same parasitic AI and survived. We were confident from comparing our data that it was the same strain which was able to transport itself to lower dimensional worlds that would be habitable. Their theory was that the AI fibers may have attached themselves to space going vessels rather than randomly floating through space. In any case, this strain appears to be able to lie dormant for an exceedingly long period.

The one Representative said that they constructed a high dimensional grid around their planet that sealed it in, and concentrated high frequency light at spots that were lower frequency or had variation.

The other world reported that their planet had high light radiation on the surface. There the AI had moved underground where most of the people live. Theirs was a different process to expose every cave and tunnel to the radiation from the surface without destroying life forms. It can't handle powerful direct light.

Both Reps were certain, that eliminating the parasite was the only way that their species were able to survive. They both reported that other ways were experimented with, but the AI was resistant to those efforts.

I spoke with them after the Council session, and they both seemed to think that with our recent Solar blasts, that immediate concentrated efforts would make our task much easier, while it was still confined in small pockets. We also have to keep in mind that it appears to be real, but it is actually an image of light reflected from its host, and is hard to detect without a host.

Both of those Reps mentioned that even when the parasite no longer was residing on their planets, that there was some residual of it in the people themselves, in their DNA and organs. It took years to purify their species without propagating it. This purification process may be more difficult for us since on the 3D Earth, it was acceptable to introduce it into the body.

I know that you were hoping to find a simple way to remove the parasites, but the history of it taking over other worlds, indicates that it is a more serious problem, since it can potentially affect other Galaxies and Universes. The Galactic Federation has given it's approval, and we have been requested to eliminate it on our planet, while trying to prevent it from escaping into space.

We will focus our energies in higher frequencies, keeping in mind how processes operate in higher frequency realms. When aligned with Source, generally once energy is focused and manifestation is set into motion, the conclusion or completeness follows. This completion does not begin and end at the same place, rather the alpha and omega of cycles begin and end with the beginning of other cycles. The directives or mechanisms by which the Love field operates are based in evolving, spiralling, and growing. Thus, energy is not lost or destroyed.

The Star Alliance has offered their support and assistance after considering what we have experienced from it, and what has transpired on other worlds.

Since we are rebuilding our civilization and at this point, do not have vessels entering and leaving Gaia's atmosphere, the only way it could escape our atmosphere would be through our Portals. They are surrounded by high energy grids and cannot be opened without sufficient light energy, which would destroy the parasites.

With Star Alliance assistance, we will check out the portals that are now under oceans, and portals that may have risen with new islands, to be sure they are secure. Then efforts can be concentrated on the low density dark spots.

In order to establish a solid high vibrational light grid for the whole planet, they suggest that we connect our operational Portals. Then they can assist us in creating a light shield for Gaia that will dissipate any 3D darkness. Being connected with the other Portals will strengthen all of us.

Here at The Wilderness, we can apply our energies to strengthening our Portal. Please discuss ways we can do this together before our next session. I will keep you informed on what progress is being made through the Star Alliance, and what ways you can help.” They made their farewells and the Portal closed.

CHAPTER 12

Maggie and Adrian, soon found that they were being given more opportunities to work with beings from different worlds, and become familiar with different life forms and new approaches to meet challenges. They were being exposed to more expansive and varied perspectives. This was obviously how leaders were trained.

They were both good at stepping up and using the energy released as their bodies reached thresholds, and applying it to the next new challenge that opened up in the higher dimensions. It seemed that there was always a new challenge waiting for them.

The next big one showed up with a visit from the Representative of the Pleiades. She came to visit them at their residence chamber. They welcomed her and made her comfortable in their small living space. There were three small but comfortable seats around a small round table. They had decorated the space in the manner they were accustomed to on Gaia. The temperature and lighting were maintained automatically for their comfort, and refreshments were available upon voice command. Their guest agreed to take tea with them.

When they were comfortable and had made a bit of small talk, she spoke of the reason for this visit. It seems that the Representative from the Galactic Federation had been impressed by Adrian and Maggie and their energy fields. She also mentioned how well Adrian was handling the various responsibilities he had been offered.

It had been the general consensus that Adrian would take a seat on the Star Alliance Council. The others liked Adrian and admired his abilities and willingness to be of service. She had experienced his capacity to work synergistically within more expansive Love fields, which was one of the main criteria to be able to reach consensus with the Council.

Maggie would be playing a greater support role and would be expected to travel with him for distant gatherings. She wanted them to consider this opportunity and to let her know what they decided. They expanded their Love field together and then shared their compassionate feelings as she rose to leave.

When she was gone, Maggie and Adrian looked at each other. They broke out laughing. It was a good release. What would be next? That was certainly bigger than they had expected. They were committed to their path of expansion and growth, and of course they would take the next leap, but first they had to take a step back and re-calibrate. They had a glass of wine to Relax, Release any resistance, and expanded their combined energy field to renew.

Maggie and Adrian let the SA Council know that they were open to the new opportunity, and Adrian would accept the responsibility and be of service. They were also feeling that it was more important now than ever, to put energy into a closer connection with The Wilderness Portal.

Maggie came along with Adrian to the next gathering of the Portal Reps, to lead the integration and expansion of the Love field and to take notes. They discussed increasing the protection of the people at each of their sites, and considered the potential complications that could arise from connecting with the other Portals. It was apparent that they would need a ship to be able to travel by air and water around the planet to determine the state of the inactive portals.

Several sensory probes would be required to be stationed near each of the dark spots to examine the nature of the 3D areas and to detect AI. The ship would need to be decontaminated after setting the probes to be sure not to spread any AI fibers.

They discussed the different needs of each individual TS and site, so they could make sure that each was sufficiently stable to be able to build the energy needed for the higher frequency grid. Adrian informed them of his new call to serve, and that he would take this information to the next Star Alliance gathering.

~

Mitch and Jocelyn had been working long hours. Since they had visited the Water Chamber together, their creativity had been stimulated and their energy was higher, and they wanted to see how their ideas would take form. They had a strong combined energy field now. Mitch had been inspired to pick up a project that was unfinished, and together they figured out it was some sort of a body scanning device.

Jocelyn's painting sat before them to keep them on track. They were focused on the Earth Elementals, as their work would need to be grounded because they were dealing with the body and its biological processes. They knew that another part of what was going to make this device work, was empowerment by the higher self and the will of the individual.

Jocelyn had found the records for this device which would be a scanner for AI and low density vibration. The team before had made notes that the device was to be followed by another device that could provide a treatment to disintegrate or rearrange the molecules of the low density particles with light energy.

Their capabilities seemed to mesh well together. Jocelyn would be inspired to know how each segment would function, as the project progressed often she would visualize it, and Mitch would be inspired to make it work, also picking up insight with his senses.

When the scanner device was operational they decided to call in Betty and check their ideas with her knowledge of the body and health. When Betty came to the A&T to work with them, she recalled what she had learned, working in the Biochemistry Lab with lasers, for her summer job as a University student. It was confirmation that Source provides what is needed.

Together, the three of them were able to construct a type of laser with high frequency healing light. They figured out how to direct it without disrupting bodily function, to an area that could be very tiny or enlarge the ray for more coverage.

Betty was confident that this would not be an invasive procedure, rather would boost the body's natural functioning. It would be administered in alignment with Source with the individual participating and willing the intention, and with oversight by the higher self.

They did not have laboratory test subjects, so they tried it out on themselves.

As they scanned themselves, they found places where their bodies had stored heavy metals and some toxins, as well as a few places that may still have AI fibers attached. The three of them administered the high frequency light as the scan indicated. They felt good after the process, and another scan indicated it had worked as they hoped.

Betty said it was time to bring in the young couple who worked in the gardens with Harry and Irene. They had spoken with Betty about their knowledge of herbs. It might be possible to cleanse most of the broken up residue with herbs. What remained, as indicated by the scanner, could be retreated with the laser. The five of them worked together to come up with a cleansing program.

Adrian took their invention to the Star Alliance Council for the approval of their purification process, and after it was approved, suggested he could share their specs with the other Portal sites.

Betty started to administer the scan process from the First Aid Center, and recommended the herbal cleanse regime they had decided upon together.

It became clear that most bodies were still holding impurities, and even though they were continually releasing with their intentions, the various systems needed concentrated will and light to remove stubborn particles and AI fibers. Mitch and Jocelyn experimented with higher resonance sound, and found that some impurities responded best to that range of stimuli, and so they incorporated that as well.

After treatments residents of The Wilderness were reporting feelings of well being, higher connection to Source and more energy and vitality. Many were requesting more opportunities for exercise. There was more participation in the sunrise training, yoga classes, and jogging, with many more walking around the playing field and forest paths. Re-scanning was showing clearing of toxins and elimination of AI fibers.

~

Some of the A&T centers of the other Portal sites completed their devices for scanning and removal of AI, and were having similar success. The New Zealand TS was reporting the appearance of refugees from areas of lower frequency.

Prepared for this eventuality by the Portal Reps, these new people were isolated and scanned and treated until there was no more indication of AI residual, before they were introduced to the community. Precautions were being taken to prevent reinfection by the parasites.

~

Betty decided not to scan and treat Genevieve , who also thought that would be best since the baby was coming soon. They didn't want to interfere with her body's natural processes. She would bring the baby in after a month or so and they would do the process then.

Betty spoke to Ahmed about setting a protocol for those wanting to have children, to scan and clear before entering the Fire Chamber. Ahmed agreed with her.

~

After reviewing the logistics and the size of the double door of the TS, arrangements were made to transport the equipment needed and a ship to The Wilderness. It arrived through the Portal, remotely controlled with user instructions. Adrian said that nothing would be returning, and people would not yet be going back and forth, to prevent contamination. Every conceivable precaution was being taken until the threat was gone.

The ship could hold three passengers. Will and Ron were the most enthusiastic about learning to navigate the ship, and Mitch helped them figure out the capabilities of the probes and how to place and set them. Betty thought someone from First Aid, her, should go along, but the Center Reps decided just Ron and Will would go on this mission.

~

At the next Portal session, Adrian agreed with that decision. He gave them the most appropriate and accessible coordinates for the probes, and the protocol the SA felt would be most successful in decontaminating the ship after setting the last probe.

Ron and Will practiced piloting and co-piloting the ship. When they were both confident, and had mastered the various navigation systems, they prepared for the probe mission. The craft had a maximum speed that could get them halfway around the planet in three hours. It would be one and a half hours to get to the former Arctic pole site where one dark spot had appeared.

This left enough time to set one probe, decontaminate, and they could still get to the site of the other three near Antarctica where the south pole had been, with plenty of daylight.

They had agreed it would be best to decontaminate after leaving each probe site. They calculated the travel time, time to set the probes before moving a safe distance away to decontaminating, and extra time in case of complications. They should be back by dark if all went well. They planned to leave at first light and would have to navigate largely by instrument because it might not be possible to recognize landmarks, since so much had changed.

The afternoon before they left, Mitch helped them figure out how to make a visual record of the trip with the ships camera. They took a hand held video camera and a battery operated tape recorder, to capture their own voices recounting what they saw. Neither Will or Ron were mapmakers, but this promised to be the first chance to see and record the new look of Gaia, other than what long distance representations Adrian was able to pass on to them.

~

Ron and Will took off in the ship at first light and headed for the closest destination. They were wearing jumpsuits that they would incinerate when they returned, would use breathing apparatus when they left the ship, and decontaminate before reentering. When they reached the first coordinates, the landmass appeared dry and solid.

They were able to land the craft and stabilize the probe with it's four legs around the central core post. After connecting the battery pack, the post drilled itself several meters into the ground. The probe was successfully installed and operational. They returned to the ship, decontaminated themselves, and navigated to a predesignated spot and hovered over the ocean and followed the ship decon-tamination protocol.

They congratulated themselves on a job well done. Probe number 1 set. The longest leg of the journey, between the former poles, was ahead. This ship was pretty cool. It hovered, didn't use fuel, and maneuvered easily, among it's many features they were trying out.

They enjoyed themselves as they had done on the first leg, viewing and recording what they saw of islands and larger land masses. They tape recorded their impressions of the spot where the probe was placed. Neither of them saw or sensed any human presence and Ron did not detect any signs of animals.

The ship could fly fairly low and they did not have to worry about other aircraft. The second probe should be easy, the dark spot was small and the coordinates were on flat land. They landed again and were able to secure the probe without difficulty, as they had the first one. They did their own decontamination and did the same at the designated spot for the ship.

The third dark spot was the one that was increasing incrementally in size. As they approached the coordinates, they saw what looked like a communication tower in the distance. Ron said that they would not need that unless they had ships of some sort. Unless that tower had survived the reset, there would be survivors here with AI.

“I think that we should set the probe and vacate as quickly as possible. This would not be the mission to look for beings and make the 'We come in Peace' speech.”

“I agree.” Ron helped get the equipment to a good spot and the legs expanded. “See if you can set it by yourself, Will. I am going to carefully watch 360, for any movement or signs of life.”

“I got this.” Will set up the probe, and when activated, it drilled itself in. Will activated the stealth shield on this probe.

They headed back to the ship when Ron spoke quietly. “Movement coming from the area of the tower. Looks like people coming, more and more of them. How fast can you get onboard, decontaminate and take off? I've got the video camera and will try to get some footage of what happens... while I'm running and decontaminating.”

Will focused on getting to the ship and managed to decon very quickly and was at the helm in minutes. Ron appeared to be onboard, so he lifted off in the direction away from the movement below. Giving a sigh of relief, Will welcomed Ron into the copilot's seat. “I didn't see you so I assumed you were onboard. I'm relieved. That was exciting!”

“Yes, I'm pretty sure those were soldiers, and I believe I heard the retort of guns. I did get some footage which will be interesting to examine later. Is the designated decontamination spot far enough away do you think?”

“I was going fast and think I passed it. The fourth dark spot is coming up ahead. I know it is not following the protocol, but let's hope that any contaminates we might be carrying, already live here since they are so close together.”

The last spot was on a small atoll with barely enough room to land. Will gave the controls to Ron who was better at small maneuvers with the ship, and he landed it perfectly. They focused their attention on planting the probe without delay, but found that the 4 legs would not descend.

Ron had a good knife on him and with some prying and pushing, he wrangled the legs loose. When the legs were set and stable, the battery pack attached and it was activated, the center pole drilled itself in.

Water came up around the drill and spread out on the surface, but the legs were tall enough to keep the device away from the water. The probe seemed to be stable and functional, so they returned to the ship.

After decontaminating themselves and doing a thorough treatment of the ship at the designated spot, they headed home.

Will was thinking. “If that communication tower we saw could track us, it may not be a good idea to let them know where we live.”

“Right. Why don't you veer left here and I will see if I can get the cloaking to work. Their communications won't be able to detect a cloaked vessel can it?”

“I'm afraid I am not an expert. Which makes me question what we are doing out here in a space ship. Recon and Communications I guess.” He chuckled and switched to manual and veered to an immediate left at high speed for a while and then Ron activated the cloaking . “They will think it is an 'alien' flying saucer since we suddenly turned and just vanished.” They had a good laugh, and headed back onto their original flight plan. On the way back they recounted for the recorder the experiences at the last three sites and everything else they noticed on the way back. They returned slightly ahead of schedule.

~

Adrian and Maggie opened the Portal connection at the next morning meditation, wanting to hear how the mission had gone. After the usual greetings and anchoring of the connection, Adrian asked Ron and Will to give a report.

Will deferred to Ron. “We placed the probes at the designated coordinates and practiced the decontamination procedures, except for the ship decontamination between the 3^rd and 4^th dark spots. We had to make a hurried retreat from spot number 3, the only spot where we observed anything out of the ordinary.

We first saw a tower there in the distance. We had just finished setting the 3^rd probe and activated the stealth shield, when I believe we were attacked by a small army. They appeared at a distance near the tower and came swiftly on foot.

I managed to take some footage with my hand held video camera. We took a look at it last night. We need to zoom in farther on the most clear shots when they were closest, to be sure, but I am fairly certain that they were robots from the way they ran. Will what would you say?”

“I did not get a good look at them myself, but from the video footage we viewed last night, I would tend to agree. There was a consistent pattern to the movements and little movement of the head with the body. They did not appear to be welcoming us and Ron heard some gunshots.

They were surprisingly quick in mobilizing, if they did not know we were coming. I tend to think that they were alerted to our approach, or detected our stop at the 2^nd site. Even if they cannot see the probe on #3, they might be able to figure out what we were doing if they monitored our 2^nd and 4^th stops. We did some diversionary maneuvering, before we moved into stealth mode to head home.

We have photographs of the areas we moved over at a fairly low height, and verbal accounts of the stops at the probe sites. We hope to be able to map Gaia for this one corridor of longitude at least. That might actually be a good way to map the rest, in corridors.”

“Thank you Ron and Will for an excellent mission. The information from the probes monitored by your Center, will be of great use to all of us. We included with the equipment, we sent, a device by which we can transfer data back and forth remotely without any physical attributes that could carry contaminants. It is also resistant to lower dimensional holograms.

For instance, you can transfer your video and recordings to the device and we can download it. We can upload the photos we have of Gaia, and documents for you, and whatever else might be needed. Perhaps Will and Mitch can set that up at your end to connect to ours at this end. As long as you continue to guard against AI intrusion into your networks, Will, we will be fine.”

“I am monitoring continuously for any intrusion, and will continue to be cautious.”

They made their closing protocols and the Portal closed.

~

When Maggie and Adrian got back to their living quarters, they found a message from Brad. The arrival of the baby was imminent. They excitedly took the shuttle to the family quarters where Brad, Kathryn, Cassie and Rainier lived. Had it really been nine months since they transited from Earth, and Gaia was formed?

Back in March, the now expecting family had been inspired by their guides that a spirit was coming to join them. With Cassie and the dog in agreement, they had decided that Brad and Kathryn would make arrangements at the Fire Chamber to create the body for this spirit, before they all transited to a new world. Now it was time to welcome this spirit into the new world. He would be called Lucas.

When the shuttle dropped them off, they knocked at the door, and Brad ushered them into the rooms that were lit only by candles. They were informed that Kathryn was in early stages of labour. She was happy to be able to share this experience with them. The miracle of birth would soon present a new living person that would expand their family.

“Come in and sit by me,” Kathryn was bouncing on a large rubber ball with Cassie and Rainier at each side. “The Star Alliance people here have been kind and trying to provide me with those things that I am familiar with. If I can share the concept clearly enough for them, they can create it, like this ball. We have been made so comfortable through the 9 months. I think they are as excited as we are for the new arrival. ”

“Yes, it is spoken of with awe and wonder in wider circles here, as a somewhat unprecedented event.” Maggie wanted to share with her. “What is really amazing, is that a young couple who survived the formation of Gaia, and was taken in at The Wilderness, is preparing to give birth to their first baby at this same time.”

Adrian turned to Brad. “How are you doing, brother?”

“I have the easiest job, supposedly, trying to figure out what Kathryn needs for support, and keep reminding myself to Relax, Release, and Renew. I have to remind her to breathe, and remember to breathe myself. Fortunately Cassie is intuitive, and Rainier seems to understand the process.

Sasha and the other women who came with us have been following our progress. They are close by and will join us when we are ready for their assistance.

We understand that Kathryn's body naturally knows how to birth the baby. We have been priming Lucas on the easiest way to get out, so he doesn't try to put his feet out first. He seems to be in the best position now and we are just waiting for the cervix and uterus to get ready. Focusing on the Love field brings every system in her body into alignment. The energies are strong surrounding us, maintaining balance and opening the pathway to reach the finale. This is a wonderfully exciting time.”

“What do you think Cassie, having trouble being patient?” Maggie put her arm around Cassie.

“Yes, we have been waiting such a long time, but it is just building up now to the best part. Right, Rainier?”

“Woof.”

She obviously loved Rainier and it was mutual. “I think he knows what is happening, he doesn't seem anxious and is more patient than I am.”

Maggie spoke to Kathryn after her contraction ended. “I think not being a distraction would be the best gift to you right now. You have better things to focus on than conversation with friends. Enjoy this time together and let us know when Lucas shows himself. We will come back and celebrate with you all.”

“We will show ourselves out. Continue on Kathryn, with the excellent progress you are making.” They rose and Adrian closed the door behind them.

~

Back at The Wilderness, Genevieve had been having contractions off and on for two weeks. Each time she was sure it was the real thing and Eric would get excited. Then it would stop. She wanted it to be the real thing, because she was tired of being pregnant. Nine months is a long time, especially when you are anticipating a baby. She had nested and done all the preparation she could think of. Waiting was hard.

Eric tried to distract her and played his dulcimer for her which calmed her. He wrote her a song, they called Eric's Song, with these lyrics.

“Since the day I met you,

There was no way I could forget you.

Somehow you've captured my soul.

When you're not with me I'm not whole.

You captured my heart

Right from the start.

You gave me your heart.

We can no longer be apart.

Our love is so strong,

To each other we belong.

Now that we are one.”

She asked him to sing it again as it made her so happy. When he stroked and massaged her strained areas, her body responded with contractions and the baby responded, in the right position and ready to come out. Their combined love field for the three of them was growing stronger. They did not need the EC. When the contractions started this time, they both had the feeling that it was time.

They worked together, breathing together, walking, and posturing, reminding the baby how to move with the contractions, to get out the easiest way. Once the contractions were getting stronger, they let Betty and the assistants know to be on hand. They were doing fine on their own, but could use some reinforcement at the end.

Betty watched quietly through the cracked door with all of the supplies that they might want beside her, knowing that everything was going fine. Two other women waited with Betty in the next room, mostly because they wanted to be a part of the experience.

Genevieve and Eric were deep in the Love field and aligned and responsive to Source, letting the uterus do it's work to push the baby out. When the intensity strengthened, the water sac broke. .

Soon Eric could see the top of the head. Betty had rehearsed with him how to turn and release the shoulder with a contraction, so when Genevieve gently pushed the head out he quietly told her to relax for a minute while he allowed the baby to pop out.

They had a tiny girl who opened her eyes and began breathing on her own. They were both thrilled. Betty and the other women had slipped in and put down cloths and offered the supplies that were needed. Eric and Genevieve were in a higher dimension with the baby between them, and so the women took care of the rest of the tasks.

~

Back in the Star Alliance world, Lucas made his presence known with a loud expression of his lungs. The women were on hand to perform tasks that were required once the little family was completely engulfed in the experience of little Lucas.

News spread about on both worlds and rejoicing and celebrations took place.

Ahmed and Corrine were ecstatic as well, and it was not long before other couples caught the spirit and asked for permission to use the Fire Chamber.

CHAPTER 13

Hank made a venture out in the direction that they were expecting to find the new coastline. With the information from The Wilderness, they had estimated coordinates for the northwesterly edge of the ocean. Both Jeannie and Louise had wanted to come with him, and unable to make the decision of who would stay to take care of the animals, Hank decided to go alone.

He made trail as he walked, and uncertain of the exact distance, brought supplies to overnight and set up a campsite, the way the Recon Team had done at the end of a days walk. With the exponential growth of the vegetation, breaking trail took him longer than he wanted. He made camp and settled in just after dark, for the night.

He must be very close and would probably find his destination in the morning. He had been watching for signs of ocean birds and other animals, but had seen very little. The birds were scarce and he had lots of questions about that. The plant life had not had that much time to vary with the climate changes and reseed in new ways, especially with fewer birds and animals to carry the seeds. There had really only been one season since the reset.

In the morning, Hank continued on, making a trail. He began to notice more humidity and then smell the salt in the moisture of the air. He worked faster with his anticipation, and was rewarded shortly as he came over a ridge and looked out upon the ocean. He stood for a long time taking in the amazing view. It was truly a new world, pristine and full of life-force. He wished Louise and Jeannie were with him, but they would come in good time.

What could he take back to them that could give them this sense of wonder that he felt? He walked along the shore where sand was beginning to be formed from the pounding of the waves. He found a shell, and then several more. Life had survived in the salt water. He knew that salt water is a remedy for treating radiation, so it would logically follow that ocean life would be protected. He was reminded of ocean vacations when he was a child, walking along the shore and finding shells.

He noticed some signs of animals and even some that made him think people may have been along this shore. While he was walking yesterday he thought about how he could mark the trail head, so that people who found their way to this spot by land or by sea, could find the path Hank had made. Jeannie and Louise would love to have visitors. He would make a pole from a small tree and tie a red bandanna to the top. That should do the trick.

Since he did not have to break trail going back, he would definitely make it home today, He set the marker and made a rough sketch of a map with the bay he found. Maybe he could call it Hank's Cove, but Jeannie would think it should be named after her when she saw it. He headed for home.

He arrived home around dark. Louise and Jeannie were so excited to see him and hear his report, they stayed up as late talking as Hank could manage. They decided together that now that the path was cleared, that Louise and Jeannie could make the next venture out together.

The new dimensional world held no lower frequency of fear, and those who survived would be functioning in the vibratory Love field. There was no threat in the unknown, only abundance. They had been practicing for several years, activating the power within their light bodies, to replace whatever of the old ways are not serviceable, and give back to Source with gratitude.

They knew that when they open up to become One with Source, this initiates the process of reciprocity. All they had to do was remain receptive to accept it. They had worked to achieve a degree of purification and developed their ability to love open heartedly. Doing their Relax, Release and Renew exercise had helped them monitor the subconscious mind and ferret out the seeds of lower dimensional thoughts and emotions.

Being clear in the mind from oppressive archetypal and ancestral presences, they were free to focus on their bright and beautiful hopes, and move forward on the path to creating their desires. They had become free to follow the Source of Love with it's goodness, wholeness, and fulfillment, and their lives had become awesome and miraculous. When they felt any stress in their bodies they simply did their 3R exercise to activate the light body.

Louise reminded them often that Source offers them the capacity for greatness, as Love is creative in its support of all uniqueness with powers of regeneration and reciprocity. This power allows development of the ability to become new. It grants the potential for expansion and the capacity to reach new heights.

We all have this spark of greatness from conception, as we took on life that came from Source. Prepare to move into greatness, and open up to possibilities to “step up” and develop potential. Joyfully expand and become greater in the present moment than you were in the past one. In alignment in the Love field, goodness can be perpetrated and growth can take place for the common good. What Louise said gave meaning to the mealtime prayer she often said, “God is great and God is good.”

Jeannie and Louise were preparing for their venture out. They would take what they needed to overnight twice at the campsite Hank had made, enjoy themselves for a day at the ocean and then return the day after. They were planing to leave after breakfast in the morning, when four people came down the drive to their house in the late afternoon.

This was the first time Louise had seen another person since Maggie had shown up last March, though Hank and Jeannie had had the pleasure of the company of others at The Wilderness. After her initial joy and the welcome of the strangers, Louise went into hostess mode and began preparing accommodations and a big farm dinner for the newcomers. She ushered them into the kitchen, Hank got a couple more chairs, and while Louise busied herself, they heard the tale of adventure these people shared with them.

They introduced themselves. Hank, his wife Louise and their daughter Jeannie met Enrique, Roberto, Gustavo and Maria Elena. Enrique and Roberto were brothers. Maria Elena is Roberto's wife and Gustavo is their son. When Gustavo was introduced to Jeannie's family, he rolled his eyes and said, “Call me Gus.” with no hint of Spanish accent.

Enrique seemed to be the storyteller, beginning with the prophecy of their psychic neighbour, who had warned them of numerous changes. One of her prophecies made them decide not to get the Vax, most in their community listened to her as well. They had banded together to protect themselves during the purges and rationing, hiding and changing their identities.

The seer had foreseen the earthquakes, Tsunamis, fierce Solar bursts, polar shift, and rising oceans. Maria Elena was developing her psychic abilities and had a connection to the seer. Roberto and Enrique were sons of a lobster fisherman and knew the sea. They pooled their funds and purchased an oceangoing sailboat large enough to house the 4 of them without getting claustrophobic. It was a double-ender, which meant that it could take high waves and storms easier than a flat back-ended vessel.

From their home in San Jose, California, they knew how long it would take them to leave the San Francisco Bay and get out into the ocean. Watching for the signs, they outfitted the boat, and were ready to leave at a moment's notice. Once out of the Bay they would be safe from Tsunamis, because at sea, the surge was only a rise and fall, crashing in giant waves only on the shore.

They had done their research and purchased a great deal of aluminum blankets, which they connected securely together, enough to fasten over the deck to the waterline, covering the masts and rigging. Together they were able to take the masts down and replace them. They took them down just before the reset, thanks to Maria Elena's prescient visions, and waited for the storms to subside before they put them back up again.

They felt the solar blasts, but the sea absorbed most of the bombardment and the radiation as well. They stayed below deck, below the water level, as long as they could. Their 3 months supply of food and water allowed them to survive that period, releasing their refuse into the ocean. They still cleansed themselves for a while after it was over with salt water in case of residual radiation.

Enrique continued the story bringing them up to the present. “Gustavo here, being a teenage boy was getting impatient to be released from confinement with us.” He chuckled. “We had to come up with activities that would keep his mind busy.

We started planning how we would start a new world, like Noah and his family when the waters receded, without all of the animals. Then we considered the movie Water World in detail, to make sure we did not fall into any of the pitfalls that they did. We wanted to do better in the creation of our new world.”

Gus broke into the narrative. “It is like Columbus landing in a new world, but this time, no one will claim all the land and make everyone else who comes, pay them to live on it. Oh, or kill off the people who already live there. We can start the new world in the right way this time, without colonization.”

Enrique picked up the train again. “So, with Maria Elena's visions of the coast line receding, we assumed that once we figured out where we were, if we sailed east we would come to land. However, figuring out where we were was more difficult than we thought.

Once we went out on deck, we saw that the constellations were different. We had been drifting, but probably not that far, so we went on the assumption that the poles had shifted as had been prophesied. We were able to fix some of our navigation devices and then calculate how much north had shifted from our maps.

We still were not sure how far we were from what had been California, but we were certain that it was no longer there. We knew from the Sun which way east was, and sailed toward the rising and away from the setting of it. Sailing was also a new challenge with varying air currents.

We decided that we were farther north than California, possibly over Oregon or Washington when we sited land. It was unrecognizable because of the growth of the vegetation. We enjoyed ourselves being on land again and exploring.

Maria Elena 'saw' that we were in a giant bay, so we decided to continue heading in the direction of the old north, thinking it would be closer to the top of the bay. It was slightly cooler the farther we sailed.

That brings us up to yesterday when we saw your marker and found your trail. We were in agreement to explore on land a bit and find some people. We had seen other sailing vessels at a distance and met one boat with a party of 3 who had survived and were also looking for land.

We are happy to meet you and probably Maria Elena is the most grateful for the company of women.”

When he finished the story, they all broke into various conversations, and the chatter continued until Louise called their attention to the meal being set out for them, said the “God is Great” blessing, and everyone helped themselves to her good food. The visitors were especially grateful for the home cooked farm meal.

The visitors asked Hank to tell them how they had survived, and if there were others. Hank began the story last March when Maggie had been their last visitor on her way to The Wilderness. “Jeannie was trying to make contact with them on her crystal radio set later and she picked up the warning message they sent out as broadly as they could, about the impending Solar bursts. All three of us had known for a while that something was coming and we might need to go underground.

We had a stocked root cellar that I had added onto a couple of years ago, that was now big enough to house most of our animals. We stocked up on food for us and feed for them, and took our essentials with us. It worked out about right, timing wise, to bring the animals in last. We had a lot to take care of so we were not bored over the several months, and with plenty of supplies, we had it pretty good.” They laughed.

Gus chimed in. “We imagined ourselves as Noah's Ark floating around waiting for the dove to come back with an olive branch, but you guys really are it, and besides, our dove never showed up.”

When the laughter died down, Hank told them about the recent visit to The Wilderness. Of course, the sailors were fascinated by the account, but Roberto and Maria Elena brought the group's attention to their mission. Maria Elena began. “Originally we were trying to come up with a project to keep Gus interested, but then we realized that no one knew what the world looked like now, with no Google satellite images. We prepared for the project and then found that we really liked the idea of being seafarers and exploring and mapping the new West Coast.

It turns out that the young one here has some skills and talents for cartography. We are on our way to find where the new coastline reaches the Vancouver Area of BC where we want to find out more about the fault lines. We seem to be able to detect the major fissures with our sonar, which Enrique was able to get working. We rigged up some solar power that allows us to motor a short ways, and with the oars in the dinghy, were able to check out the coast first hand.

Roberto has knowledge of earthquakes and drew the fault lines on our old maps. Calculating the distances between the faults and land, it has been possible for us to make quite accurate maps.”

“Yes,” Roberto supported her concise explanations. “As much as we would like to take a break and explore, we are not certain how long it will take us for this next leg of the mission, nor are we certain of how long this season will last and what the next season might be. We may be wanting to head south, and will need the information we will get at our destination point.”

Gus sighed, “'Yes, duty calls us to the North and we must go.' I think that is from one of your old movies, Mom. We should head back to the boat in the morning, tho.”

Before they left the table , Louise suggested that there might be some guidance that wanted to come forth, if they open to the present moment and listen. “We need the support of others to be able to create best possible solutions synergistically.”

The others agreed. Jeannie explained the 3R's and expanding the Love field, and so they did that, and then they listened. Each one of them seemed to have heard something.

Maria Elena asked to close in their traditional way. “We honour and rejoice, we are grateful for, and Love the Earth and it's plants, creatures, and spirits. We honour and rejoice, we are grateful for, and Love the Water and it's plants, creatures, and spirits. We honour and rejoice, we are grateful for, and Love the Air and it's creatures and spirits. We honour and rejoice, we are grateful for, and Love the Fire and the light of creation and it's spirits. We honour and rejoice, we are grateful for, and Love The Ethers holding the cohesion of life-force. We are part of the great Oneness. We honour our selves for our unique service.”

They talked into the night and then got some sleep. Jeannie and Louise would leave with them after breakfast, stay at the campsite at night, as was their plan, and see them off early and enjoy the rest of the next day. They were all becoming good friends.

~

The men were disappointed to not be able to carry on with their conversations, since Hank volunteered to stay with the animals. Louise and Maria Elena found as they walked together, that they had much in common, and it felt good to share. They exchanged exercises and prayers that helped transmute denser energy and raise frequencies in energy fields.

Gus and Jeannie enjoyed each other's company. “Since you got your family to call you Gus, I think I may be able to get mine to call me Jen. That name seems to feel better to me. I think that I feel better calling you Gustavo, than Gus.”

“I like Jen too, and it feels good to me when you call me Gustavo. Maybe I'll see if they will change back to Gustavo.” They laughed. “It is hard to know how this mission will turn out, but I think we all would like to make a stop again on the way back, unless we decide to follow the faults back down. It would be shorter for sure than following the coast line.

The more I think of it, we will most likely verify the fault lines until we reach the end of what we have already mapped, and begin mapping the coast line going southerly again. Who knows where the next mission will take us. If it is meant to be, our paths will cross again. I think I said that. I don't think it was a line from some show. I can't even send you a postcard.”

They laughed. Gustavo stayed a while talking with Louise and Jen before heading down the path, in the dark, to join his family on their boat .

~

Louise and Jen got back on the trail early, hoping to catch them to say goodbye. The mariners were loading up their dinghy with the fresh supplies from the farm they were given. They made a last connection with their Love fields expanded, then the seafarers jumped in, rowed to the boat and got ready to raise anchor and make way heading north.

They waved to each other until the boat disappeared around the first bend. Louise and Jen enjoyed their day at the ocean, camped again overnight and made it home before dusk of the following day.

Back at home, they went over the details of each individual's perspective. They noticed different things in differing detail, so it was fun to put the puzzle together. Mostly they ended up talking about the people they had made a deep connection with.

“I liked the idea of creating a mission doing something great. What if we design an ideal community in all of it's aspects, and see what comes to pass. There was an old movie line, 'You build it and they will come'. It would be good for us to have more people around.” Louise suggested.

“I like that idea, Louise. Once we can meet the needs of a growing community, I would like to develop a port. Maybe if Gustavo can circulate his maps, others can find it, and we can trade for what we can't produce ourselves.”

“I like the idea too, Mom. I need something challenging to do, and we can't wait for years for someone to find us. I have a feeling that it will be years before Gustavo's family will make it back to us. I like him and have admiration for the whole family. I hope they make it back, and that I am more of a grown up by then.” Jen smiled. They shared in expansion of their family's Love field.

CHAPTER14

During the morning's meditation at the TS, the Portal opened, preceded by the preparatory crackle over the crystal. Corrine rose to welcome the visitors and the new Elders held the energy at the points of the merkaba grid.

Adrian checked the connection with his greeting, and satisfied, began the session. Maggie and their SA Guides were with him. Maggie was making notes as usual. “Good morning friends. Maggie?”

“It is our pleasure to announce the birth of the little boy, Lucas. The long anticipated addition to the family arrived, and all are healthy and happy.” Maggie beamed.

Corrine expressed the joy all of them felt at the news. “We have news of our own. Genevieve and Eric, the new couple that joined us recently, delivered a baby girl they named Stella. They are also healthy and overjoyed.”

“Very joyful news indeed.”

Adrian took up the business of the session. “Progress is being made at our end for the connection of the Gaia Portals. Myself and the other Reps who transited, have been meeting here, and discussing how best to communicate once the Portals are eventually connected. We have concluded that it would be easier to bring one person from each of the Communication Teams to meet with us here, than it would be for you to try to gather at one of the TSs there on Gaia. Will, if you are the one chosen to come from The Wilderness, we will let you know when this trial meeting is scheduled.

Which segues into our next topic. How are you progressing with the scanning and elimination of AI particles and low density accumulations in the body? Your EC is helping everyone progress as individuals and couples in overcoming residual resistance, releasing the hold of negative emotions, and being more conscious of making positive intentions. Since Gaia has moved into a higher dimension, this is now easier and you see all around you that compassionate caring dissipates fear. This understanding will become even clearer to you when you physically move between dimensions.”

Mitch responded. “Everyone is participating in the scanning and light treatments and we are confident that we are AI free. The DNA project is mostly completed, with some of us continuing to do herbal cleansing for heavy metals. We plan to scan and treat visitors upon their arrival. We can now to detect nano technology and remove those particles with magnetic devices.”

Will added, “Some of the other Portals are duplicating Mitch's inventions. The New Zealand TS has treated new arrivals who were vaxed and those with residual AI in their DNA successfully, bringing relief to those whose bodies were functioning less optimally in the higher dimension. I am monitoring our computers. They seem to be secure and not receiving codes for AI construction and replication.”

“I will pass on this wonderful news which will be a relief to those here in charge of monitoring the spread of the parasite. After we are able to connect the Gaia Portals, the next step will be to activate a high energy shield around the planet which should deactivate AI on the surface.

We are doing this as quickly as possible to prevent it from spreading, and also prevent passage of any vessels through Earth's atmosphere that might carry it. We are engaged in preparations for connecting the Portals as soon as each is secure and up to capacity, and the shield will go into place when the combined energy is sufficient.

We do not believe there will be noticeable differences for you other than minor fluctuations of the energy above the crystals, because you already are functioning in the higher frequencies. We anticipate being able to work out the glitches that may arise in our Portal transmissions.

We are still considering options and will consider ideas you may have. Maggie and I will be attending a gathering on Vega for the next few days, and will contact you when we get back.” They made their farewells, congratulations, and well wishes, and the Portal closed.

~

After the chores were done and they had breakfast, Hank, Louise and Jen gathered in the family room with pencils, notebooks and sketchpads. Today they were going to start on their new project. Of course, it would be based on the information they had from higher civilizations, what they had learned from their own practice and experience, and their understanding of creating in higher dimensions using their unique capacities.

After their 3R exercise and finding common heart resonance, Louise began. “We have learned to be self sufficient but what we are needing to design is a format for a self sufficient community that could be shared with others. We could start with what we are needing that we can't produce, and expand to include needs for a community. Or we could start by coming up with the best plan for a comfortable and interactive lifestyle for individuals to create what they need to be self sufficient.”

“I think that will all come forth if we can just decide where to begin.” Hank mused. “Jen why don't you pick the place to start. What do you think would be most important?”

“Well, how about figuring out how big we can get without changing our natural setting or causing challenging complications.”

“That's good, We can start with the larger scope and work our way into the details. It would probably have something to do with the ability to gather, and how far we could spread out and still interact. Beyond that point, another center should be established, don't you think? And how far apart we want to be, to be independent and yet connected.”

“I think you are talking about what they used to call zoning, with designated usage in the common areas, Louise.”

“That word does not resonate with me, Dad,” Jen wanted them to keep on the feelings level so they would not get derailed by lower dimensional thoughts. “We have to remember about money and greed and power that corrupts. What we come up with should not control people to make them conform, but empower their sovereignty and creativity. Right?”

“Excellent input, Jeannie, oops, Jen.” Hank was thinking about what she said. “Rather than have a set and surveyed lot size, everyone could find the spot where they feel at home and work things out with their neighbours so that each respects the others' space and needs for privacy and creation. Some will need more space and others very little. I think most controversy used to arise over legal boundaries and disrespect for the unique differences between people.

If boundaries are set wide enough and understanding is reached before establishing a home, conflict can be avoided, or other spots can be selected with more agreeable situations. In the higher dimension, with compassion and service as our intention, life will be easier in community.”

“Still, it will be worthwhile to address potential difficulties ahead of time in our planning.” Louise was wondering if the laying out of a physical community might be more difficult than she had thought. “When people's plans and dreams are altered and manipulated, it destroys their natural abilities, sensitivity, and awareness. So how can it be set up to allow people to plan for themselves and follow their dreams?”

“I think what you are talking about, Mom, is freedom, allowing the uniqueness in everyone to step forward.”

Hank picked a book off the table. “Let's talk some more about sovereignty, rights, entitlement, and empowerment. Here is what Thomas Jefferson had to say about this long ago.

'The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors. As Benjamin Franklin wrote, "In free governments the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns." The ultimate powers in a society, therefore, rest in the people themselves, and they should exercise those powers, either directly or through representatives, in every way they are competent and that is practicable. '

We have gone beyond the need for leaders and rulers, especially the kind that maintained their authority by suppressing sovereignty and anything that would awaken the spark of divinity and empower the people. Jefferson's principles still apply, inspiring the people to exercise their own sovereignty, empowered, with rights to safety and happiness. As we engage in the higher vibrational activity of creating collectively, we will need freedom to expand into our potential greatness, recognizing that we are fully supported and connected in our cohesive world.”

“Living in this way will be a joyful experience and we will want to celebrate together often. Let's keep that in mind when we plan for a common space.” Louise asked what they each thought would be the most important thing to have reflected in a new community. “I think I would say respect for elders, youth, all people and creatures, which would create strength and unity. Also to set the way Nature functions as the standard in every decision.”

Jen thought, “It would be Love, gratitude, and alignment with Source.”

At his turn, Hank spoke thoughtfully. “I would say, to discern what is important and what is most useful in any given moment, because the future is speculation, and determined by our choices. There is no return trip. We cannot go back to previous ways, because the present moment is one of a kind in space/time. Source is continually evolving, and no one course will necessarily unfold. We will need our plan to be flexible so it can evolve.”

Louise added, “It will need to allow for new and larger connections to be made. It will have to be able to expand and balance and align. Strength and the resolve of our wills will be required to move forward and assist those others desirous of achieving community.”

“The plan needs to encourage goal setting, formulating intentions, and creating the desire to be of service to the higher good of humanity and the Galaxy.” Jen said they had their work cut out for them, and there was no way they could figure it all out in one sitting. “I'm hungry. There should be plenty of opportunity for sharing good food in the plan.”

They had a good laugh and took a break for lunch.

~

They decided the next day to discuss something that was brought up the day before. If everyone had advanced to the place where they can lead, what would the new leadership look like?

They agreed that Jen should start since she represented more of the new ways. “I think that a leader would have developed the awareness to be able to interpret signs and potentials, and be able to work with what opens up, what there is a readiness to step up into. With the way things are now, we are seeing things in new ways, and inspiration comes in a multitude of forms, all unique and different.

Louise went next. “A leader would think Galacticly, with an awareness of larger realities. They would be able to align with Source, and connect in communication and contemplation, and be able to have the faith to trust in the guidance received in that manner. Your turn Hank.”

“I liked that Louise, prepare for the 'out of the ordinary'. We are able now to watch for differences between the reality we are creating and the realities that others are creating. We can choose to consent or allow ourselves to not participate. For me a leader needs to use time well in the pursuit of the reality chosen by consensus, not wasting time. It slows progress.

The leader needs to keep the vision in mind, of creating Heaven, however that looks. But if conflict arises or something distracts, it is best to 'nip it in the bud' so to speak and not allow it to unfold, knowing that it is easier to redirect it at the start, and harder to control when established.”

Jen expressed her thoughts. “ It is easier to follow someone who can become an actor, to take on the persona that is most useful to focus the interest of the group on the goal, Especially if it demonstrates the topic, it will help everyone become one with it.”

Louise had some more to say. “New leaders must be able to be adaptable and flexible enough to embrace change, with awareness and openness to look at the new, and then be able to evaluate and interpret changes. Change involves differentiation in the process of creation of the new and variation of the existing. Changes are necessary for life forms to survive. Change allows for adaptability.

The quality must be developed that will allow the leader to make use of what is available or at hand, to create what is needed. By 'at hand', I mean being close to Source, and requesting that which is useful at the given Present Moment. A leader will take stock of everything available, all resources, and consider all ideas and input from others which is apropos. Taking the parameters of Source into consideration and seeking direction, pondering answers, and requesting the same from other decision makers, before making a wise decision.

Source can assist to offer the best possible outcome, which may not be according to expectations. We have previously discussed the “Holy Grail” concept of abundance, in which everything you desire is present for you , to the extent you can receive it. All that is useful for the potential reality of choice is available when you ask in faith.

The new leader will guide the process by involving all participants in attunement with Source, so they will make wise decisions together. The wise decisions will have an adaptable quality and be able to evolve. Decisions made will be useful, preparing the way for others to be able to move ahead, and adapt to change, with evaluation and modification.

I hope you got all of that written down, Jen. I thought we were most profound today.” They laughed and knew they were done for the day, and went out to take care of the chores.

CHAPTER 15

At the dining hall, Tracy and Jocelyn, were sitting with Rosemary and Arthur from the Animal Center and the conversation turned to whether to eat meat or not. One of Rosemary's strong premises for being vegetarian, was that animals have a different type of density than the human body, which might add to the density that they were trying to remove from their bodies with the light treatments.

Jocelyn said that it truly may be undoing the work they were doing, and she and Mitch had discussed the possibility that animals could carry the AI filaments. She made arrangements to come to the Animal Center and scan the animals, just so they would know.

Rosemary's other point was that killing the animals may be further upsetting the unstable balance still trying to establish itself in the animal kingdom after the changes. Arthur added that the fear created by killing them was not consistent with higher dimensions. If the Lion was going to lie down with the lamb now, man has no business going in to upset the new frequencies.

They had worthwhile arguments, so Tracy decided to speak to Karen about an article for the next Portal News on the subject. If everyone was in agreement after it was discussed in the community, they could certainly request Mary to make that change.

She spoke to Karen about the vegetarian article. She also thought about sending some sort of lightweight glider through the open portals, carrying what would become their global newsletter. They could spread the good word that Gaia has formed and the new earth is functional. It would be another way to connect and communicate with the other portals. They laughed but decided to consider it.

~

Back on the Star Alliance mother ship, many threads were being woven and followed, and only a very few involved Gaia. There was the team working to activate and connect Gaia's Portals, preparing for the shield. There was also the team concerned with removal of the AI threat. Adrian and Maggie were about to leave for the gathering on Vega and preparing the report for that.

They had just a few minutes to shuttle over to see the new baby. The family was still jubilant in spite of adjusting to the feeding and changes in routines. Nursing was going well for Kathryn, and with the technology available to them, were finding it much easier than it would be on Gaia. The locals were curious about what they were doing.

Adrian brought a gift and told them about the new baby at The Wilderness. Maggie got to hold the precious vibrant bundle, Lucas. The moment was perfect. They promised to check in when they returned, to see the family again and report on the experience of going to Vega.

Adrian and Maggie grabbed their gear back at their place and shuttled to the rendezvous post, where a ship was loading in preparation for the journey. There had not been a briefing prior to leaving, instead they had been assigned a guide well experienced in intergalactic travel, and knowledgeable of the many inhabited realms.

Onboard, he introduced himself and they sat together around a small table. His name was Oran. He came originally from Arcturus, but had traveled most of his life and lived many places. He was tall and calm and aged, seemed to be able to speak many languages, and reminded Adrian of Obi-Wan Kenobe. He most likely had held numerous political positions.

“I have been assigned to share with you some of the history of Earth, since it has been erased and buried in modern times, and also to prepare you for the experience of Vega. Let's start with your questions.”

Maggie took a cue from Adrian and went first. “We are curious about this ship, and how long the trip will be in days gauged from our departure point.”

“Yes, we are actually making a journey. It was deemed to be more comfortable for your first distance sojourn to be in a controlled environment. Well seasoned travelers like myself can use other methods. This ship is one designed for comfort, we are fortunate. By the time we return 3 days and 3 nights will have passed”

He paused and that seemed to be all he would say about that. Adrian wanted to know something about where they were headed, would be staying, and about the gathering they would attend. Would he be called upon to report and if so, what information would the beings there be most interested in hearing. The ship prepared for take off and got underway.

Oran spoke about Vega, some of it's past and present, told them about their accommodations and that there would be some energy balancing to do when they arrived. Because the atmosphere was very different, they would be given a suit to wear that would simulate appropriate conditions for their bodies. The inhabitants of Vega were a variety of species. There would be some striking species, but most of the attendees at the gathering would be humanoid in appearance.

“This gathering will include Representatives from the Galactic Federation and the various star Alliances, and revolve around the many challenges facing each sector. It is probable that most of the attendees want to know about the state of the AI parasite, the effects it had on Earth, and it's state presently on Gaia.

They will already be aware of the dimensional shift into Gaia, because of the cohesion and connectedness of All-That-Is, such a shift is recognized in all quadrants where there is awareness. They may be interested in the progress of humans and the conditions of other life forms after the reset.”

Adrian and Maggie looked at each other. Maggie spoke to Oran. “Please share with us the information that we will need to know, and if we have any other questions, we can address them afterwards.”

“A wise approach. Your Earth was inhabited much longer than the modern history of it will acknowledge, your moon being proof of this suppression. Its usefulness has been kept a secret from you at this point in your history.

Keep in mind that operating outside of natural rhythms is typical in the 3^rd Dimension, and much disruption occurs to prevent the natural cycles.

The expression of Life is through a giving and receiving, with the exchange of light from the Source. Bodies that do not exchange light we would consider as non living, and that light which appears on their surface would be reflected from another source. Your moon is such a body, created to be a non living host station. This is part of the reason for its eccentric cycles and the reason it always has its face side to the Sun.

I bring this to your attention in order to reinforce the concept that Source creates in patterns and living cycles. That which operates outside of the direction of Source takes the Light of Source for its own purposes, and what is given off from that is most likely to be a reflection. The AI parasite functions in this manner. Humans would be wiser to honour the cycles of life than the moon when they celebrate.

Let us speak about the segments of Earth history that are relevant to us now. When in the meridian of time the plans were made to prepare for the next passing of the Solar System through the 'photon belt', a protective shield was set in place to ward off the radiation effects until the system was out of the danger range and the belt could be redirected.

It is generally wise to let natural process take place rather than attempt to interfere. However, once the shield was in place, we hoped to avert any unwanted results. When dangerous levels were reached for safe shield regulation, we had just enough time to spread the warning of possible major planetary changes before the shield gave way. We were able to calculate the areas where damage was most likely to occur, and Earth was on the fringes of the damage course.

The Star Alliance was quick to put their plans in place to protect their Portals and the higher frequency beings who lived in those areas. You know that they affixed shields around each of the Transit Station areas and they were secure from radiation and the backlash of photons.

Unfortunately the surge of photons caused the poles to shift and the ice to melt. There were no contingency plans for the unexpected backlash, and a number of the Portals were inundated by water. They will have to be reclaimed and possibly rebuilt.

It is of interest to everyone, that Portals will not be compromised. The Star Alliance is pursuing this mission, which up until recently was held up by the concern about travel to and from Gaia, now with the potential to spread the parasite.

The Wilderness people now have a ship and have sufficient scanning devices in place, to be able to decontaminate and cleanse the lifeforms. It will largely fall to them to be of assistance to the Star Alliance, as the SA came to the assistance of the Transit Stations, transitioning all who relocated. There are a number of other alliances prepared and ready to assist if need be. This parasite that took over Earth is a serious threat to the whole Universe.

Prior to the major Earth changes, the call was given inter galactically to those who desired to assist in the transformation of Earth to Gaia, the containment of the parasite, and more recently, to help with the Portal restoration. We, the Arcturians, were some of the early arrivals and have been joined by many others actively assisting at this time.

There was hope that with Gaia being created, and the parasite threat eliminated, that humans could evolve to become higher dimensional beings. Perhaps that will be enough lecture for now? This would be a good time to take a nap.” Instructions came on for reclining the seats, pillows and covers were provided, and the three of them slept.

When they awoke, Oran asked for flight status and time at destination, and found that they would be arriving fairly soon, and that the gathering would begin two hours after landing. Maggie requested to forego their discussion at this point, allowing them to go over their report.

They had composed their report in several sections, so they could “cut and paste”, so to speak, depending on what was wanted. Oran had clarified the probable major interests of the attendees. Adrian would speak to an update on the AI situation, and what effects the AI and the transition have had on Gaia, humans and other lifeforms. With a few additions here and there the report came together. The other sections would still be on hand in case questions were asked along other lines.

Oran ushered them to their quarters to freshen up, and came back later to take them to the meeting room. This space looked more like space for business meetings at a hotel, no nonsense and little to distract. It was large enough to comfortably seat around 60 with four dozen of the seats in rows taking half of the room, and the other dozen in a semi circle facing them. The acoustics were very good with translators for most of those gathered.

The Representatives began in the accustomed way and followed a prepared agenda of reports. Adrian made his presentation and the few questions were easy ones. Maggie was taking notes on all of the reports. After the gathering, Oran escorted them back to their quarters, making a brief tour of the facilities. He mentioned overhearing some Reps talking about the couple from Gaia in a very positive way. Adrian and Maggie had been well received.

Oran suggested that they eat heartily and rest up and he would be back in 2 hours, then they would head back to the ship for the return trip. It was hard to tell if it was day or night, and if they were tired or not, but they had a good meal.

Just before Oran came to pick them up, a messenger arrived and presented them with a document to share with the Star Alliance and those on Gaia. Oran had received one to share where he was heading.

They learned a lot from Oran on the trip home.

~

Back at home, Maggie and Adrian presented the report they formulated from from Maggie's notes and Adrian's memory, to the SA, at the Portal Reps meeting, and at the next Portal session. At the end of each of the reports they included the document they were asked to share with this note:

This Treatise was presented in December of 2023, from the Galactic Federation, to all of the representatives present who would be taking it back with them to various quadrants, with the admonition to make it publicly known. Gaia is thus recognized as a new member of the Galactic Order and this document is a subtle request for general support of the progress being made. We believe that others of the Galactic Federation will be of assistance if called upon.

Adrian and Maggie signed the note from them.

Treatise for the Protection of Gaia

Foreword

Leagues of space/time ago, higher sentient life forms gathered to prepare organi-zational principles to steer life forms in healthy directions in the event of troubled times and unfavourable conditions imposed by the renegades to justice.

We have circulated this treatise at several points in the time/space continuum, and now we present it and are circulating it on behalf of Gaia.

We trust that the people of Gaia can present the necessary strength and action, to make the reforms required at this time, and to advance into a higher form of being. It is incumbent for sentient life beings to congregate in order to formulate directives and create a higher form of organization to lead themselves into a positive future.

This is a season for you to take advantage of the time granted for this purpose, rather than to be passively waiting for control to be taken by others less in tune with needs and situations. Be open to receive these directives, gathering what is available to you, and create your own foundational directives. You are allowed and supported in doing this.

We present suggestions for what we would hope that you would propose for your own advancement. In order for you to be able to cooperate with each other to best advantage, we suggest that you create a network of those who have the experience to be able to create a solid foundation on a larger scale.

• Consider each individual as sacred and divine until they prove themselves to be otherwise inclined.

• Consider the perspective to be galactic rather than planet centered, and plan and observe what transpires, having broader origins and ramifications.

• Unite in the decision making process such that each individual is able to contribute, respecting the validity of each contribution.

• Make an attempt to include all aspects, overlooking nothing, as important energy information comes in all forms and to all senses. Be open and receptive to the new potentials and perspectives, and be patient in the decision making process.

• Enter into agreements by assessing all criteria and aspects, bringing it together into focus and clarity and harmonious resolution.

CHAPTER 16

At The Wilderness, each time they held meditations at the TS, they looked forward to hearing from Adrian and Maggie. This morning they were rewarded with the crackling above the crystal. Corrine rose to greet the visitors, the Portal opened and there were Maggie and Adrian's smiling faces. Adrian made the greeting and secured the connection and nodded to Maggie.

“First you will be happy to know that little Lucas is doing well in his new family, with Brad, Kathryn, Cassie and Rainier. We made a most interesting adventure by ship to the planet Vega, made new acquaintances, and gave our report to the Galactic Federation and beings from many sectors of the Universe. From everything we learned, we have made a report for you, that Adrian has shared with SA and the other Portal Reps.” She nodded to Adrian.

“What stood out above all of the other information, is that the entire Universe is focused on our efforts to eliminate this AI parasite. It has done enough widespread devastation to alert the various quadrants, and place their focus on Gaia. They expect us to take extra care in making sure it does not spread from our planet. We have been careful, but not been cognizant of the seriousness of the danger. That oversight allowed it to gain a foothold on Earth and in our species. We must take a firmer stand in it's elimination for the sake of the Universe.

Also, the Star Alliance has been given the responsibility to protect the Portals on Gaia, on behalf of the Universe. Connections made with our Portals, have influence on a larger scale, because of the cohesion of space/time. They will need our assistance until the threat of AI is gone. Then they will be able to enter and leave our atmosphere.

Their responsibility of keeping the Portals safe at present and finding and restoring the Portals that have been inundated by the rising oceans, will fall largely to us. They will give us as much assistance as they are able to.

This mission will get the facts that are needed to plan strategy for the next two large missions, eradicating AI and activating the portals. We will share with you the information the SA has now, about how the parasite operates, and about operation of their robots.

Today I am sending you a droid that has scan and remote transfer. We can use it to pass documents, photos and reports back and forth. I am sending you a copy of the document that was given to us before we left Vega. It is a milestone for the advancement of Gaia into connection with the other interstellar nations.”

“I am sure that I speak for all of us, Adrian, in our heartfelt thanks for all you are contributing and doing on our behalf. Thank you!” Corrine encouraged all present to expand their Love field with gratitude that Maggie and Adrian could feel.

Maggie closed the Portal with her gratitude to them and the promise that they would connect again very soon. The directive they passed to The Wilderness, was to act as soon as possible to contain the AI.

Will gathered with Tracy and Karen, his little communication team, and with Ron, Jerry and Betty of the Recon Team. Betty had been busy with her duties assisting with the scanning and cleansing, but most of that was complete now. With no more babies expected and few accidental First Aid issues, she had been working out with the growing group that was now exercising early mornings, and was generally considered as part of Recon.

After his sessions in the EC, Will had started receiving visits from a star being offering to be a guide for him. It seemed that Will was going to be called upon to step up into greater responsibility, and there would be challenging times ahead. Will was grateful to be able to have assistance. Tracy would need to step up as well by his side, and she was also grateful for his new guide.

As they all took seats around the Library table, Will started the discussion. “Thinking about all of this has made me come to the conclusion that Humans as a species really must be stupid. Look at how we com-promised and destroyed our species by following Hitler and various others. I am sure we have some redeeming qualities, but how could we have let this parasite come in? How could we have taken it into our bodies?

Granted, the information about the parasite threat was kept from us by those under it's control. The entire human race was set up to embrace this AI as a boon to our future, as technology and medicine. All of the world leaders bought in to the plan.

They probably even tried to pay the AI holograms for the boon. The AI was so clever, it convinced them to give up concessions in return for it, which actually aided them in their take over of the planet. As Technology, it could control people's minds, and as medicine, it could manipulate the body. All of this was their plan to inhabit this planet until they wiped out the Human species, and then move on when their hosts were gone.

The parasite is an aberration that was forced to separate itself from Source, because parasites cannot enter the Love field, and is not able to pervert the common good in the field. They may be able to exist in 3D, but being out of alignment with Source, they are not able to pass through time/space filters into the higher dimensions.

Now that Adrian has informed us of the threat having a Universal scope, we are now in a position, actually responsible, to act in accordance with higher dictates, and prove ourselves worthy of the trust that has been placed in us as Humans. We will need to step up to become the heroes and warriors who act with integrity and wisdom ,to rise up and do what needs to be done.

Sorry, got a bit carried away, but it is the truth. What are the rest of you thinking?”

“Yes, I agree with your sentiments. You know I am with you, but we are going to have to have more come on board. Let's find out what the other Portals have to offer in terms of Recon Teams and others who have been training.” Ron had already proved that he had Will's back.

Jerry spoke up. “I have been chomping at the bit since you two took off in the ship last time. Betty here will probably stow away to be a part of the next mission, right Betty?”

“You betcha.” Betty was already on board with both feet, in her mind.

Tracy and Karen looked at each other. “There are others here who would jump in to help in any way they can. Perhaps you can train Karen and I to do ground control.”

“Right, Tracy, and if we learn to pilot the ship too, we might be able to help with training at the other Portals.” Karen suggested. “If it moves ahead as fast as it needs to, we could take care of things that would free you four up for the on site maneuvers.”

“The first priority is the elimination of the AI.” Will began to organize. “After that, we can continue to scan the planet for any residual traces of it while we locate the other Portal areas. Adrian will probably be able to answer my question about any Portals on the new landmasses that have risen as others fell. Another question I have is about how communications will change when the Portals are connected.

I have personally made contact with Communication Teams at the Transit Stations in Australia, New Zealand, Arizona, India, South Africa and Tibet. They have been conscientious in keeping their Portals secure. The fact that there is no response from England, Slovenia, and Mexico, indicates some earth changes.

I have received a few spotty messages from Ecuador and Egypt, so they must have survived, but may be having problems. It would be good to check on them. I will spend some time on the radio and see if the others have been updated by their Reps. Let's take stock of what the other Portals can offer in the way of help to each other. Oh, and see if they have scanners and are following the decontamination protocol.

I think that is a great idea to train Karen and Tracy in as many operations as possible, so they can back up, train others, and fill in where needed.”

“There are only three seats on the ship.” Betty reminded them.

“Don't worry, Betty, you can sit on my lap.” Ron was joking but he would not mind at all. They laughed. There wasn't much they could do except to wait for Adrian's next visit and their instructions.

“Will, let's work on sharing what we know about the ship.” Everyone was happy with Ron's suggestion, something they could be doing. Will asked if Mitch was still making more and better scanners, and Betty informed him that there would probably be enough for each TS to have several. All was in good order.

~

Corrine received word that there would be a Portal session after dinner that same day. All gathered at the TS, eager to participate.

When the Portal opened and each side made their greetings, Adrian began. “We will send two more ships and an amphibian vessel through to you, since yours is the only TS with doors wide enough for them to pass out through.

We are sending equipment inside them. We think that one ship should eventually be stationed in New Zealand and one in India, besides yours. That will be one in the north, one in the south and one in the middle for quicker access.

As far as we have been able to glean from the probes, only the large and still expanding dark spot has robots. We are sending you a high frequency sound-sonar device with the capacity to demagnetize and fracture the super conductors in the robots' circuitry, incapacitating them. You will need to be a sufficiently safe distance away, before activating them though.

We are also sending a number of devices that can be sent into the caves and underground systems with droids, and when detonated, will produce high frequency light and sonar together, and will continue to emit signals until the AI is deactivated.

Maggie is sending directives and information that we believe will be useful through our little friendly droid to yours. Familiarize yourselves with the maps and strategy that the Star Alliance sent. Get prepared to dispatch these devices as soon as possible. We will continue to monitor from here and will send messages in through the droids, if there is need. Are there any questions?”

Will stood to speak. “I know the AI is first priority, but could you let us know if there are any new portals on the landmasses that rose at the shift, and how we will be able use the Portals when they are connected? Will that take place soon?”

“They are working on the Portal plans as we speak, and we will let you know when the plan is ready. Much depends on what you are able to find out for us. When the Portals are all functional and connected, the introduction of the heightened frequency levels, will set up the shield. It would be best for all of the ships to be on ground when the shield goes up. Equipment be prepared for surges during that installation.

This shield will prevent any parasite from escaping the planet and will ensure that they will not survive. The higher frequencies will help humans evolve as it inactivates any residual 3D formations.

The Reps from the Ecuador and Egypt Portal sites have not been able to communicate with their sites, so we will depend on you to help restore their connections. We will send along some equipment that might help them.

The Star Alliance is keeping track of the new and submerged Portals and when I get information about these, I will pass it along to you. Good luck with your mission. We will keep monitoring until we are certain we got it all. We will sign off now and allow the SA to send the ships and equipment through to you. We will leave you to prepare the space and get set up. Goodbye friends.”

Tracy downloaded and categorized the materials in the droid. One remote operated ship presented itself and the group worked quickly to get it outside the building before the next one came through. They then moved the second ship outside. Next, SA sent the amphibious vessel towing some equipment. When it was received, the Portal closed.

They moved the third vessel outside as well. They worked together well into the night, assembling, familiarizing themselves with the equipment, and learning how to operate the vehicles according to the manuals.

CHAPTER 17

Will had been thinking. The four who would go were familiar with the activation procedures for the devices, could all operate the ship, and use the auto pilot back up if necessary.

They now had a base-to-ship radio and Tracy and Karen could monitor their progress, inform them of any variations that showed up from the probes, and relay any messages from SA. Mitch anchored and secured a smaller fourth seat beside the rear seat. They all got some sleep and gathered at the ship before light.

~

It was the SA plan that they deliver the devices to the small spots first. Using stealth, they might not be detected until they got to the larger spot. it would be easiest to eliminate the robots after they left the base and before they spread out. The plan was a tricky maneuver, to drop the device and draw the attention of the robots, getting them to gather around the device, get away quickly and activate it. The device fit into the small bay that could be opened to release it.

After a meditation exercise and expanding into the Love field, reminding themselves to be open to their guides and to be aware of and sense energy information around them, Tracy and Karen sent them off with Love and blessings. They had a lot of support and would need it, for the last part to go smoothly. They took off early and hoped to reach the closest spot at first light.

They reached the first spot in the north just as the Sun crested the horizon. They were expected to place the light device at the center of the dark spot, and hopefully it would be far enough away from the probe to not disable it. Jerry took it in while the others watched from the ship as he set it. That went well and only Jerry had to decontaminate. Next, hovering over the ocean, they did the protocol for the ship.

They each were wearing disposable suits which went into the bin as they followed the self decontamination protocol upon returning. The devices they planted would be activated by a motion detection sensor, triggered after they completed the mission, unless they were disturbed before. Much to Betty's dismay, her job was to “man” the ship's controls and monitor, while the others went out. She was outvoted 3 to 1. She had to settle for making the voice recordings.

The plan was to stealth cloak the ship in the southern areas, to prevent detection and any potential robot reception. They did the same routine with the second site and it went well.

The last small dark spot was a challenge to land on, and the plan was not to place it in the center of the dark spot, but as far from the probe as possible. They knew the surface was less stable so Ron landed the ship near the probe, confident because he had landed there before.

Will went with Jerry as backup, and as they hiked across, they tried to avoid stepping in the slimy black stuff that looked like oil, possibly a fungus. Betty was following their camera feed. “I think it is a fungus or slime mold and probably sentient. We will need to make sure you get all of that off when you come back. It could be a carrier.”

“Roger that.” Will responded.

They were stepping carefully as the shelf seemed thinner in places. As they approached the far edge, Will waited behind since Jerry could manage the equipment for a short distance, thinking there would be less weight on the shelf. Jerry was aware of the high water table and found the highest spot in the area, and set the device. They were on their way back to the ship when they began to feel a slight tremor.

“Detecting earthquake.” Betty's voice came through their headsets. They took off at a run and when they were onboard, Ron lifted off the ground a few meters. The men took extra care with their decon and hurried into the cockpit to watch for any changes in the situation of their devices. When the earth settled, both the probe and the light device seemed to be undisturbed. The four of them were relieved and did a group high five.

After decontaminating the ship as per protocol, they took a few moments to do the 3R's and expand their Love field before heading to the most difficult part of this mission.

Will asked, “Are we ready?” The answer was a resounding “Ready”.

“Let's do this!” Jerry was pumped.

Approaching slowly, still in stealth mode, no motion was detected nor any sign of robots. The probe was still in place with it's stealth shield up. So far so good. When the ship reached the coordinates suggested by the SA, they opened the bay and dropped the sound device from 10 meters. It landed with a thud they sounded the ship's equivalent of a horn. They hoped the device would be noticed, that it would be picked up by the sensors at the base.

They quickly flew to the SA designated coordinates, far enough away to be out of the range of the device and still be able to monitor. As was anticipated, the robots poured out of the underground tunnel scanning the area for intruders. They zeroed in on the device and when they gathered around it, and no more of them seemed to be coming out, Betty got to push the detonation button for the sonar, much to her delight.

The SA theories had been correct. The movement of the robots ceased. Betty turn off the device and Ron took the ship back in. Will and Jerry had loaded one of the droids carrying a light device into the bay while they were watching the action below. When they landed, the first droid was released onto the ground, and Betty and Jerry loaded another droid.

Will was handling the remote for the first as the second one was released. They loaded and released the other two as fast as they could, and each of them took on one of the remotes. They guided their droids into the entrance and then into separate tunnels. When the droids reached an open area, they delivered the devices and then, on auto-pilot, headed back out.

Betty's droid reached a common space first and so she took the ship controls and lifted off, waiting for the signals of the others when their droids reached a good spot. It was their plan to make sure the droids heading back out, before leaving the range of their remotes. The droids were seeing more robots on the move toward the entrance and as the first exited with gun power, Ron headed the ship away slowly to not disturb air currents, still in stealth mode, to the safe coordinates.

It was necessary to activate the light devices as soon as possible before they could be discovered. As soon as the ship was out of range, the droids were signaled to activate the devices, and then the devices on the three smaller dark spots were activated. They all responded, and the probes and monitors showed major light fluctuations with the sound. Betty pushed the button to activate the sound device on the surface again, for the robots that had now come outside.

They gave a big cheer and congratulated each other. They took off heading home, Mission Accomplished!

CHAPTER 18

Back at The Wilderness, the ship and crew was welcomed home and all wanted to hear the details, so Will arranged with Corrine to make their report at the next Portal session. Corrine agreed to sound the gong when it was coming through, knowing it would be soon because Adrian and Maggie also were wanting a report.

~

Corrine sounded the gong later in the afternoon and everyone gathered in the TS, expecting the crackle, they took seats and raised the energy field. As soon as it was enough, Adrian and Maggie came through, with Corrine's usual greetings and the recognition of the SA visitors attending the session. There were several SA guides and various representatives present at the Portal's other end. Tracy had uploaded the droid with photos and recordings and was receiving Maggie's upload.

“Congratulations to the mission team for a job well executed and successfully completed.” He paused while there was general applause on both sides. “The SA monitoring indicates that all four dark spots are gone,” pausing again for cheers and applause. “After this infestation is removed, we will all be more cautious and aware moving forward, I think.

We will continue to monitor for re-occurrences even after the shield is in place, until there is no further indication of AI presence. We will then be able to travel between sites and the SA will be able to resume their responsibilities, restoring functioning at Portals as needed.

At present, the next phase will be to visit and carefully monitor each of the other Portal sites, scanning and treating any residual AI, locating the ones that have been inundated, finding the new ones, and bringing back photos and information.

One of our visitors would like to address you regarding the rising of former landmasses. I would like to present the Representative from Arcturus.” He bowed and nodded as a man came forward, very similar in species to Humans.

“My dear compatriots, I greet you. I am here to bring understanding of the roles Atlantis and Lemuria have played in the past, on your planet, and of the roles that they will now be playing in the cohesion and connection of the Portal Network here on Gaia.

The early Portals were self regulating. In the beginning there was one Portal created in similitude of the Portal on Mars, and connected with it, in the area you know as Egypt. When it was inundated by water, and the connection broken, two Portals were created, one on Atlantis and one in Lemuria. After earth changes again occurred, those two were inundated, and the Egyptian Portal rose and was reconstructed to reestablish Portal connection.

After that second earth change, it was deemed wise to create a grid system by constructing and connecting 12 Portals, with the intention of preventing future disruption of Portal connections which affects other Galactic Portals. They were regulated by the Portal at Egypt before it was compromised. At present, Lemuria and Atlantis have risen again, and two others have been submerged.

I have been given the charge to help you understand the far reaching connections that make Gaia's Portals vital to the operation of Portals in far remote galaxies. We have considered it a serious offense that the rulers on Earth suppressed knowledge of other civilizations, of the Portals, and persuaded Humans that they were the only civilization, falsely declaring themselves supreme rulers.

Because of it's location in the Free Will Sector, we were unable to rectify these misrepresentations that stifled Human development, or to help Humans to evolve. But now with the SA responsibility of maintaining the Portals, with the influence of rulers and artificial intelligence removed, we are hopeful that Humans will become sovereign. With the emergence of higher dimensional Gaia, we believe that Humans will rapidly evolve. We are allowed to present information that you may find edifying.

With the self regulating capacities of two of the Portals restored, Lemuria and Atlantis, and with the consent and agreement of all parties involved to restore connection of the Portal Network, we expect to soon have the 12 Portals functioning and interconnected. This will hold the high dimensional grid in place until such time as there is assurance that the parasite has been eliminated.

We understand that because you have been lied to and tricked, that you may be hesitant to step right up and embrace directives from other planetary beings, and want to be self directing. We understand this, and ask your forbearance with us until this threat is erased from our Universe and the Portals are restored, as this is of universal importance.

We find it interesting that you will be the ones doing the eliminating, and the beginning work on the Portals. This will help you understand your part in the larger scope of the project.

We are grateful for the part you are playing in dealing with the remnants, eliminating what would have destroyed your civilization, now that you recognize it's seriousness. On behalf of multitudes, I thank you.” He took his seat once more.

“That was very illuminating. I thank you for that information on behalf of all of us.” Corrine bowed in acknowledgment.

Adrian began again. “This brings us to the next phase of our operations.

It is commendable that many of you have been practicing navigation of the ships. In order to make sure that all of the Portals have the scanning and treatment devices and are AI free, everyone will need to practice decontamination protocol when going back and forth until we are given the 'All Clear'.

Use your ship to check out the other Portals. Three of them are missing, England, Slovenia, and Mexico, and two may have been compromised, Egypt and Ecuador. Hopefully you will be able to carry the amphibian unit with your ship. See what you can find out and take pictures. Check out what might have survived on Atlantis and Lemuria.

When India and New Zealand are proficient with their ships, we can divide the planet into quadrants to better keep track of each other: BC, AZ, Atlantis and Ecuador; India, Egypt, England, and Tibet; New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Lemuria.

We may not be able to seal off the inundated Portals ourselves, and the SA may have to finish that when travel is resumed for them, but we can do what we can. I imagine you will have fun with this assignment which sounds like an adventure to me. Relay your findings to us and we will keep you informed of any reappearance of the AI. Good luck, friends.

Were there any more questions or comments?” He paused for a minute. “If you think of any, save them for next time, as we will check in more regularly. Would mid morning daily work for everyone?”

“We can be here at that time if it works for you. Thank you for all of your assistance, we are grateful to all of you.” Corrine added the closing and the Portal closed.

~

After dinner, they met in the Library again. They invited Mitch and Jocelyn to join them. Will, Tracy, Karen, Ron, Jerry and Betty, were there to discuss the larger mission that they were given. Maggie had sent information that would be very useful, which Tracy had categorized along with the notes she took, so she began.

“It seems the first order of business is to insure that the other Portals have no contamination. We have three ships now to deliver scanners and treatment devices. We need to check out the TS buildings in Arizona, Tibet, Australia and South Africa.

With India and New Zealand, where we are also to eventually deliver ships, we can train teams there, and possibly recruit help from them when needed. The India TS has a greater population with survivors coming to them, and may need more devices and assistance. Mitch and Betty may need to spend more time in New Zealand with the scanners and training, as they seem to be receiving new people from the polar areas and may be the most compromised.

It looks to me, that they have given us many missions instead of one. We should keep in mind that we are on reconnaissance and delivering devices and not doing reconstruction this time.

Second in priority would be to check on Egypt and Ecuador in case of possible critical situations there and even the possibility of refugees to consider, and to take them scanners.

There will be several future missions with the amphibious vessel, checking out the inundated Portals of Mexico, England, Slovenia, and after evaluating Egypt and Ecuador, the potential need there as well. This could be a lengthy mission, and would require pick up and drop off at those sites. We need to determine if each of the ships can transport the amphibian, or if just one will need to be outfitted for that purpose.

I suppose it is possible for a flyby to pick up the information needed about Atlantis and Lemuria, but it might take a lengthier mission, requiring expeditions on foot.

These are the questions I see needing to be answered: 1. Should we continue on with the priority items ourselves using all three ships to facilitate the actions in the most timely manner, or to use the teams from the other Portals after they are trained?

2. Have the other Portals been brought up to speed by their Reps, and are they ready and prepared to join in the missions, or is that another job for us, preparing and training them?

3. It seems that the Portal connection is dependent on some of our accomplish-ments, and when that takes place, we will need to stay put at home while the grid goes up. The timing on that may influence our planning. Answers to these questions will determine our plan of action.”

There was a pause when she finished. Jerry broke the silence. “I have a nickname for you that may be appropriate. 'The General'.” Laughter broke out, but it was clear that they were all very impressed by Tracy's organizational skills. Tracy laughed at herself too.

“One more thing,” she looked at Karen. “We want to send a copy of the Portal News we have almost finished along with the scanners. We will get it ready to go. Karen and I have delusions of grandeur and want to put out a global newsletter.” They laughed again but knew it was a done deal.

“Let's address the questions you brought up. The containment of the AI remnants is of galactic import, and I think that since a number of us are already trained in ship operation, that we need to get the scanners out and determine if any of the Portals are compromised before any activation can take place. The sooner we get this information to the SA, the sooner they can move forward. How should we do this?” Will turned it over to the table.

Ron spoke. “I say we divide into teams ourselves while we have the three ships, and immediately get the scanners out and check on Ecuador and Egypt. At that point we will know the status of the AI and if there are Portals that are not secure. Will has assured us that the teams at most of the other Portals are informed and doing their best to contain the parasite. Putting together what communications are shared through the various Reps is good, but it would be better to have comprehensive first hand knowledge from one source, us.”

Everyone around the table was in agreement. Tracy got out her notes.

“This was the division Adrian suggested. BC, AZ, Atlantis and Ecuador; India, Egypt, England, and Tibet; New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Lemuria. There was a directive in the droid for us, that they are hopeful that England's Portal can be re-established, because it has special capacities that would be useful to the grid. If we get the best sequence figured out, it will be easier for the others to implement it when they have their own ships.”

“I do not want to call it 'The Amphibian'. It needs a name.” Betty suggested.

Ron replied. “I have been studying it a bit and think it is masculine. How about 'Rover'? It may actually be able to roll over, and it has a horn that sounds a bit like a woof.” They had another good laugh, but there were no other suggestions, so it took.

“Let's go ahead and set up the three teams and decide who else should go along. The ship carrying Rover will need to be the one with four seats to carry two to operate it, and it will need scheduling and radio contact to make drops and pickups. What do you say if we name the teams after the sites of the location of the ships, the B Team for BC, the I Team, for India, and the NZ Team, for New Zealand?” They all nodded and seemed to be OK with that. “We can refer to all three as BINZ.” They laughed again but liked it.

“I will get Mitch to help me check out the ship with four seats, to see how we can outfit it to transport Rover.” Will offered. “We won't know the status of the other Portals until we visit them, and the rest are questions for Adrian. Tracy can present them in the morning since she has them written down.” He looked at Tracy for confirmation and she nodded, and then spoke again.

“The NZ Team could drop off scanners to South Africa and Australia and then leave Mitch and Betty in New Zealand where they may need to stay for a bit. They could do a fly by of Lemuria before heading home to report.

The I Team will need to carry Rover and two who can operate it, to explore the English Portal for the SA. Perhaps they could drop Rover with the operators to explore, while the others check for any critical situations in Egypt, and then make sure India and Tibet have devices.

Someone on that team, perhaps Jocelyn would be the best person, can instruct and scope out the security at those sites. She could stay if the other sites need help with security or if Egypt needs assistance, while Karen goes back to pick up Rover and crew.”

Jocelyn interjected. “We may not be able to plan this mission out. It may take it's own turns and we will have to deal with what we find. We can only decide where to start first.” Everyone agreed with her.

Will continued. “That leaves the B Team with the shortest agenda, because we know our site is secure. Arizona, the closest site would be a good place to start.

I think that about covers it. Can we dived into teams based on available pilots? There should be two on each team who know how to navigate the ships. Ron and Jerry and Betty should probably divide up from the Recon Team. I suggest Jerry goes on the team going to Ecuador. Ron has gotten attached to Rover and knows how to operate it. That team may also need it in Egypt as well as for England.

Each team can figure out their own strategy considering time constraints and possible delays. Let's meet at breakfast before the Portal session and see how we came together. When I present my questions I will let Adrian know that our teams are prepared to move out, and see if he can let the other Portals know that our teams may need to overnight at the various Transit Stations, and see if the people there will host us.”

Jerry suggested that they had a pair of 'Generals', and they laughed again.

Tracy brought them back to task, “After the morning session, we can organize to move out. Remember, we will need to be flexible, and open to Source intervention and participation by the elemental energies and spirits. Let's do our 3R's now and expand our field together and see if anything arises.”

They felt the cohesion of the group and left the dining hall deep in conversations as the teams fell naturally together. They notified the others who would accept places on the teams and prepared for the missions ahead. Tracy and Karen finished the Portal News and made enough copies for each ship to carry a dozen to each TS. Mary sent extra food along with the teams going to Ecuador and Egypt.

CHAPTER 19

The next morning, everyone was waiting for the Portal session. Tracy was ready with her questions. After the opening, she informed Adrian and Maggie and the other SA, of the organizational state of the teams. Everything was ready to deliver the scanners and train for treatment, insuring the security of the Portals. They planned to do recon for Ecuador, England, and Egypt, and make flybys of Atlantis and Lemuria. She asked them to make tentative accommodation arrangements with the various Portals, in case they needed to overnight.

Adrian thanked them for their impressive and immediate response, and answered her questions as best as he could. “Since you are prepared to move ahead immediately, we want to recognize your good planning and your initiative. We support you. Go ahead with the priority issues, before taking what time might be needed to train the other portals. Be open to what presents itself. This mission could be more extensive than just managing the flight plans for the ships.

When the Portals will be connected depends largely on what you are able to determine and report after this mission. All 12 Portals would need to be secure and functional before the grid could be put in place. When the SA would be able to come in to assist, will depend on the eradication of the AI.

Good luck and we look forward to hearing reports from you at our session tomorrow. We realize that not all of you will have returned by then, but you can transmit reports back to base.” While they were sharing, Maggie and Tracy exchanged uploads and downloads of photos and documents through the droids, and with the usual salutations, the Portal closed.

It was announced that all three teams would meet in the Library directly. It was great to see the teams flushed out and report around the table. Each team had selected a leader, had two pilots, and someone familiar with the scanners and treatment procedures and decontamination protocol.

Tracy addressed precautionary measures. “To prevent transmitting any contamination, scan thoroughly before entering a Portal station to be sure you are not carrying any undesirable particles. Because we are moving around the planet and visiting questionably secure sites, use the decontamination protocol when leaving each site. Are there any questions?” Some had questions that were addressed.

This is how it all flushed out.

Team B Mission to Arizona, Ecuador, and Atlantis from BC

Jerry, Tracy and Eric

Team I carrying Rover, Mission to England, Egypt, India and Tibet

Ron, Dexter, Jocelyn and Karen

Team NZ Mission to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Lemuria

Will, Betty and Mitch

Tracy made a copy of the list for each of the teams to have with them. She reminded them leave copies of the Portal News with the scanners, and to assign someone to keep the voice record and take photos. Her last minute advice was, “Take a few minutes for last minute preparations, bringing appropriate clothing for the TS's you will visit, and let's eat a good lunch. Meet at the ships after, and we can do some opening and expanding, and then take off.”

A general whoop of excitement was expressed with a few salutes to 'The Generals' and some laughter.
