“From another point of view, however, every thought we think is a prayer, since, once thought, it is a permanent part of the universe and addresses the macrocosmic whole. All prayer,” Rana continued, “indeed, all thought, expresses desire for something.
“Call it prayer or call it thought. It’s all the same, and it’s the tool with which we create all that we experience.
“Since your mind is an indivisible part of all mind, your desires are all‑powerful. You will receive whatever you desire and ‘believe’ you will receive. However, if you desire to run away from the light, from Macro awareness, into the darkness of amnesia, which is micro awareness, then you will receive that request also. So you see, Jon, prayer‑as seen from a broader perspective works. Prayers are constantly and unfailingly answered. We’ just don’t always like the answers!”
“In other words,” I said, “since our minds are all powerful, our problem is to learn how to use them positively rather than negatively.”
“Not quite, Jon,” Rana answered. “You can’t have positive without negative any more than you can have up without down, or success without failure. Thus, the problem is to learn to use our minds with perfect balance ‑ that is, with total acceptance of everything ‑ both success and failure, knowing that every failure leads to success.”
“And how do you do that?” I asked.
“Every lesson to be learned,” Rana explained, “requires mistakes or failures. This varies with each person in terms of his past learning in all his incarnations and excarnations and multidimensional experiences.”
Seeing my puzzled expression, she added, “This is because no experience is ever forgotten by the soul mind or subconscious mind. It is all cumulative. Thus, if for one child‑it takes 10,000 failures to learn to walk, the sooner he makes those failures the sooner he learns to walk. Since micro man does not understand this cumulative effect, he becomes easily discouraged and often thinks he is as far, or even further, from solving the problem after 9,999 failures as he was at the end of ten.”
“But, of course, this is not true,” Carol injected, “because at the end of 9,999 failures he has only one more to go to have complete insight and success.”
“But I thought you said that every failure is a success?” I queried. “Yet you mention the 9,999 failures and not the 9,999 successes. How come?”
“Because,” replied Rana, “micro man is not worried by successes, only by failures. Since he is not aware of the cumulative effect, he doesn’t realize that every failure is a necessary and successful step toward complete insight. In other words, each failure is a small insight success bringing one that much closer to total insight success.”
“Hmm, I’ll think about that,” I said. “But how do I specifically go about learning or developing my Macro powers?”
Rana answered, “You don’t start out to develop Macro powers‑you start out to develop Macro awareness. The powers develop as the awareness increases.”
“However,” Carol added; “you need to remember that there are two necessary factors in all learning: sufficient desire and sufficient belief.”
“One example,” Rana said, “is when a person desires to learn to swim but does not believe he can learn without drowning. He, obviously, will not learn to swim as he lacks the necessary belief.”
“Or the opposite,” Carol continued, “when he believes he could successfully learn to swim but would rather play tennis. Now he lacks the necessary desire, and, again, he will not learn to swim.”
“Thus,” Rana added, “with both sufficient desire and sufficient belief, anything is possible.”
“That seems simple enough,” I said.
They both laughed, and Rana said, “It is simple, Jon, because you grew‑you expanded your perspective‑took a broader point of view. The universe and its functions are all very basic and incredibly simple. It’s man’s limited perspective that makes them look complicated. BUT! It’s in the doing that one learns, not just in the talking about it.
“So why don’t you go back to your Alpha and desire growth, and accept all that you experience as an opportunity chosen to offer that growth.” She smiled gently as she added, “When one has already successfully transcended 174 years and acquired a new body, it should be difficult indeed to doubt anything‑least of all future successes!”
During the next few minutes before we left, Carol and Rana talked of incomprehensible things while my mind was feverishly occupied with trying to understand all that Rana had said.
Carol touched my shoulder, and we all walked to the door in silence. As we reached the threshold I took Rana’s hand and touched her face gently in appreciation. Then we left with the memory of Rana’s electric eyes stirring something very deep within my mind.
As we returned to our Alpha I asked Carol why Rana chose to appear middle‑aged since, I assumed, she had the mind power to mold her body into any form. Carol replied that when she had asked Rana the same question, the answer she had received was but one word variety.
Back in our Alpha room Carol explained that while the evening hours were devoted to Macro tutoring, the last hour before sleep was devoted to Macro contact. She explained this as a letting go of all micro identity and experiencing the awareness of total macrocosmic oneness.
After a relaxing bath we lay naked on our bed, and Carol asked C.I. to provide Macro contact stimuli. The video screen was immediately filled with ever‑expanding and evolving geometric patterns. The room was filled with soothing resonant sounds that seemed to cause my whole mind and body to resonate in similarly evolving and enlarging patterns.
At first I was leery and tried to resist the strange sensations caused by the incredible visual and audible stimuli. But Carol kept murmuring, “Desire and believe . . . experience and accept . . . let go, and let’s grow!” Finally I gave up all resistance and found myself flowing on a gentle river of multiple sensations until I seemed to enter an infinite ocean of unspeakable unity, oneness, and balance accompanied by the most soul‑satisfying feeling of harmony imaginable.
When I returned to what I thought was my normal limited awareness, I heard Carol saying that it was morning and that I had experienced my first Macro contact. I turned to look at her beautiful naked form beside me and realized that her eyes were closed and that she was lying quietly as if still asleep.
I wondered if she had really spoken and suddenly, without moving her lips, I heard her voice saying, “Good morning, Jon. You’re experiencing your new Macro power of telepathy.”
“My God!” I said aloud. “I must be dreaming.”
A merry peal of laughter came from a Carol who was obviously very much awake and suddenly rolling happily about in my arms.
“You’re not dreaming,” she said with her lips this time pressed against mine. “You’re just beginning to experience your Macro powers. Now push the top button so we can experience the morning light.”
I started to rise, but she refused to release me saying, “Do it with your mind, Jon, not your body.”
“How?” I wondered.
The answer came, “Reach out with an imaginary finger and touch the button.”
I did this and the light came pouring in on us.
“There, you see,” Carol glowed, “your first demonstration of psycho kinesis. Now, push it again.”
I did and once again the room was in darkness.
“It’s true!” I said, pushing the button again to let the morning light back in. “I can do it! But how?”
“Did you ever experience Macro contact before?” Carol asked rhetorically, then added, “Well, that’s what happened. You’ll never be so limited again.”
“You mean that because I was able to let go of my micro identity last night I can now experience the beginning of Macro power?”
“Yes,” Carol replied. “While everyone experiences Macro contact, the micro person, suffering from self imposed isolation from the rest of the macrocosm, does not consciously remember these experiences
and, thus, cannot profit much from them. You have chosen to remember your oneness and, thus, your Macro contact. To the extent that you can remember your contact with your Macro origin you will have Macro awareness and all the powers that go with it.”
“I feel like a giant!” I said and covered her with kisses that soon led to a complete joining of our bodies. Then I heard Carol’s voice ask C.I. to again provide our individual soul notes. The same notes that had resonated through our room last night as we prepared for our Macro contact once again filled our room.
“What was that you asked for? Our individual soul notes?” I inquired as they faded away at the sound of my voice.
“Yes,” she responded. “Each soul has a unique vibration. Yours and Lea’s are exactly the same. Mine is very similar to yours. That’s one of the reasons I was selected to be your first Alpha mate. C.I. knows each person’s soul note, or vibration, and, by playing both of ours together, can help us attain complete immersion in each other and our oneness with all that is, was, or ever will be.”
“Is that the same as Macro contact?”
“No,” was her answer. “Macro contact is achieved through total merging of minds, not just bodies.
“Sex, used with a Macro motive, can help us attain Macro immersion, merging with each other, or Macro contact, merging with the macrocosm. Use it with a micro motive and you have all the micro divisions and misery that micro sex can cause.”
“Then sex is neither micro nor Macro?” I asked.
“It depends on your motive,” Carol answered. “Sex is a part of the natural rhythm of the macrocosm like everything else. It has many very positive functions for people of all ages. Used to relax, to relieve tension, to express love, or just for fun, it enriches life. Used to control, coerce, abuse, or used against the wishes of either participant, it results in negative vibrations which can be extremely hard to balance.
“Whether sex, like any other thought or act, is more Macro than micro is determined by one’s motivation in that time and space.”
Then Carol asked C.I. to supply Macro stimuli. Our room was once again filled with exciting resonances. This time one glorious note was repeated over and over in an evolving pattern until my body and mind vibrated as one in exquisite joy that kept mounting in intensity until again I experienced myself as a mighty river. This time, however, I experienced the river as being two great rivers that had united to make one. While we did not join the infinite ocean I find that I still have great difficulty selecting words to describe this exhilarating experience.
When our rivers crested into one huge, tumultuous wave I held her tightly and moaned ecstatically as Carol cried out. The sound of our soul notes gently receded in volume and intensity until the room was at last silent once more.
As we lay peacefully joined together, I began to realize that I would never again desire less than a Macro sexual union. I heard Carol say in my mind that I would probably now limit myself to only those whose soul vibration was almost or totally identical to mine. All other unions would be hollow imitations of the real thing.
“But how many females would that include?” I asked.
“Out of all people in the Macro society, approximately a thousand could achieve Macro contact with you.
“Here in our Delta, which has 5,000 females, there is Lea, one of your twin souls whose vibrations are identical to your own, myself, seven other females, and two males whose soul notes are similar enough to attain Macro contact with you.”
“Two men?” My mind boggled at the prospect of what I would/should do in this 2150 culture if I met a man who made me feel the way Carol and Lea do.
“Of course, Jon. You know that we can incarnate as either male or female. That doesn’t change our soul vibration.
“C.I. carefully determines its Alpha mate recommendations on the basis of soul note similarity. The final decision is then left to the parties involved.
“You’ll know a soul mate or a twin soul by the harmonious vibrations. However, it is only with your twin souls that you will experience perfect harmonic balance at all times.”
“Don’t you have a twin soul here?” I queried.
Carol smiled and said, “Don’t worry. You aren’t depriving me of a twin soul. In fact, it’s extremely rare that twin souls incarnate at the same time and place. They usually decide that they can learn faster in this dimension when they are separate. It tends to spur them on to greater learning efforts so they can be reunited sooner.”
I wondered why Lea, my own twin soul, had brought me to her own time and whether, perhaps, what Carol had said didn’t apply to us.
“Of course it applies to you,” she responded. “You came together because your learning could be accelerated faster this way than any other way. You’ve met her and know that you cannot become her Alpha mate until you finish your Macro society education. To completely sever your mind‑body connection with 1976 you must demonstrate third‑level awareness, and you must do this within three months of your 1976 time.”
“Three months! That’s impossible!”
“We hope not,” Carol responded. “But you’ll have to work very hard, and it must be completed within the three‑month time period.”
“Why?” I demanded. “And why didn’t someone tell me this before?”
“The answer to your second question,” Carol replied, “is that you would have thought it completely impossible before your first Macro contact. The answer to why only three months is that it takes great energy on Lea’s part to not only bring you here but to keep you here. Last night was the first rest she has gotten during your stay here. As long as you were in Macro contact you were free of all time‑space restrictions, and, therefore, needed no help in maintaining your time‑space translation.”
“You mean that if I can ever demonstrate third‑level awareness, then I can help her keep me here?”
“That’s right, and C.I. has calculated that Lea can only transcend the time‑space barriers without your help for three months.”
“My God! What an assignment. What if I can’t make third level in three months, what happens then?” I asked. “You return to your time period for the rest of your present incarnation. Lea will have used up all her present incarnation’s life energy possible without becoming discarnate‑dead‑as would be the case if she tried to continue transcending time‑space barriers by herself, or if she tried to re‑establish contact later.”
“But couldn’t some of the other level nines, or even tens, help her?” I asked.
“They are helping her,” Carol replied. “Every level nine and ten who is incarnate on this planet or any of our neighboring planets is helping‑and quite a few discarnates too. However, no one but a twin soul can supply the final link energy, and as long as you are incarnate, this is limited. You’ve got three months in which to demonstrate third‑level awareness‑that’s all.”
“I’m glad I didn’t find out about this sooner,” I said. “While my initial response was outrage at the impossibility of the task before me, I realize that after what happened this morning, nothing is impossible.”
“Now you know why we brought you here,” Carol said. “We feel that nothing is impossible.”
She glanced at her mib and said that we had fifteen minutes, translating from metric time, before joining the rest of the Alpha for breakfast.
We bathed and dressed and were in our Alpha dining room just as the rest of our Alpha was beginning to eat. They looked up as we entered and without speaking said, “Welcome, Jon, to the Macro powers.”
As we ate breakfast I asked Carol how the others had known about my Macro powers demonstration. She suggested that I ask them, but before I could voice this question, I found eight pairs of eyes looking at me and a message ringing in my mind: “We are all in telepathic contact, and now you’ve really joined us.”
Then they reassured me that they would do all in their power in helping prepare me to demonstrate level‑three awareness within three months
. We talked about ways in which my awareness growth could be accelerated by increasing the number and frequency of learning experiences. This led to a discussion of how the normal 7th-triad experiences could be broadened to include more opportunities for experiencing Macro contacts. Alan explained some of the requirements for transcending the micro world.
He began by saying that since the two factors in all learning, desire and belief, are developed by cumulative failure‑success experiences, obviously the more of these I could have, the faster I would learn. However, the problem with Macro contact for beginning students was that the experience was so pleasant that it tended to make them want to hold onto it in order to escape unpleasant micro experiences. This would immediately end the upper level contacts, because they are made possible through joyous pursuit of learning experiences and their consequences, not retreat from them. They all admitted their own Macro contacts had been extremely limited, since this ultimate experience requires total acceptance of everything which, obviously, not only includes all the positive experiences but all the negative ones as well.
