Robert wanted an heir; Winifred wanted the comforts that he could provide. Robert and Winifred had two children, William and Rosemarie. William grew to adulthood and married Adelaide Feller. They had three children, only one of which was a boy. That boy was you. You were named Robert after your grandfather. Your grandparents both died in 2011." I marveled at how much Sylvia knew about my ancestry.
"I must leave now. Every day I grow stronger in my abilities to communicate with you, but I must leave since tonight's efforts have fatigued me greatly. I expect to have a surprise for you when I return tomorrow."
I did not sleep the next night until midnight arrived. This time Sylvia's radiance was much stronger. As I watched as the image, which had had no definite form in the past, took on the shape that, hazily, resembled a human figure. I could see nothing clearly but was able to discern a blurred woman's figure, a head with flowing hair, a lithe body, indistinct arms and legs.
"Sylvia," I murmured audibly, "is that you?"
"Yes," she responded telepathically. "In this form, I can hold the image for only a short time. Would you do something for me?"
"Anything!" I exclaimed.
"While I am gone, please get the ring from where it is hidden in the closet. I will be back tomorrow."
The spectral image of Sylvia shone brightly for a few more seconds, then began to disappear. My eyes clouded. The scene before me quivered growing smaller, then larger. Suddenly, it sharpened. I experienced an uncanny feeling that I was seeing through eyes that belonged to someone else. I dimly discerned the features of Sylvia's face, eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. She was dressed in a gown of shimmering gold. She raised her arms, crossed them, eclipsing her face, then slowly opened them as a velvet blackness replaced the bright light in the room.
Abruptly, I felt a profound love for Sylvia. It seemed I had known her for an eternity. There was no concern that she was older than I, that she had lived in another age, and that she was a spirit. The differences between us were of no consequence. All that mattered was that this was the person for whom I could dedicate my life, the person for whom I would be willing to die.
I covered my face with both hands, then felt the sensation that my own eyes were being returned to me. In the sleep that followed, I dreamed that for a few moments, the visions I had experienced had been seen through my grandfather's eyes. I awoke with a start and did not sleep again.
In the morning, I opened the closet door, got on my hands and knees, and armed with a flashlight, crept to the far wall. The loose board that Sylvia had described was there. I pulled it up and discovered her diary. It was open. Without intending to, I read the words, "Robert and I plan to go boating today at Lake George. I love him so much. Despite anything that the future might hold, I know that we will always be together."
A diamond ring was lying beside the diary. I picked it up and backed out of the closet.
I did not go to work that day, but sat motionless in a chair near the window. My thoughts were of Sylvia and by irrational love for her. Near midnight I sat on the bed and watched as the hands of the clock crawled toward the top. The awaited hour finally arrived.
A tall, unbelievably beautiful woman, dressed in a long flowing, white evening gown materialized at the foot of the bed. She had the bluest eyes I had ever seen, the blondest hair, the most exquisite lips. She smiled. My brain numbed as I stared at her loveliness.
"Sylvia?" I stammered.
"Yes, Robert. Do you like the way I look?" Her voice was hushed but audible.
"Sylvia, you're beautiful!"
"Why shouldn't I be, Robert? This is the way I've always wanted to look. In life, everything was always a little too long, or a little too short, or a little too something else. Now I can attain whatever appearance I want. Do you have the ring?"
I nodded, stood, and took the ring from my pocket. I stretched my arms toward her. She cupped her hands and moved them toward me. I gently placed the ring in them. She closed her hands tightly and fix her eyes on mine. "Thank you, Robert dear," she whispered.
"Sylvia, I – I need to say something." I faltered. I think she knew what I wanted to say.
"Wait, Robert," she interjected. "I want you to rejoice with me. I have been working with your grandfather for several months. He has already mastered many skills that I have taught him. In a few days he will be able to attain the same kind of physical quality that I now have. When that happens, he'll place this priceless ring on my finger and then we will be together forever. Wherever we are, we won't be far from this home and from you."
We talked after that. I don't remember what was said, my mind reeled with thoughts that would not focus. Sylvia placed a surprisingly warm hand in mine as we bid each other goodbye. She kissed me lightly on the cheek and was gone. I knew that I would never see her again, but I lay on the bed completely at peace. For a few moments, which will be forever cherished in my mind, I knew that I had shared a vision of bliss through my grandfather's eyes.
Revelations Of The Attesor Stone
In 1799, the discovery of the Rosetta Stone by some of Napoleon's soldiers meant that the key had been found that would allow scientists to decipher two modes of Egyptian writing, the hieroglyphic and the demotic. In November, 2012, another stone was found in a hidden cavern in the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza in Egypt. On this stone, which has become known as the Attesor Stone, there are three inscriptions; one, hieroglyphic, one demotic, and one in an exotic Greek-like language, which is thought to have been invented by Socrates. These inscriptions have been deciphered and translated to French and English.
Without fanfare, the translations were released to the general public, but to date, these have been of interest only to archaeologists. Yet, the ramifications for the future of what is in these translations cannot, at this time be comprehended. So astounding are the revelations, that they may cause pandemonium when they are widely disseminated. There is no good, however, that can come from attempting to conceal or obfuscate the truth; indeed, peace of mind and acceptance can come only when the truth is known and its consequences addressed. That is the purpose of this document. What follows is a distillation of the dramatic translations.
Two hundred thousand years ago, the Earth became ruled by intelligent creatures of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and other families of dinosaurs, who had come to Earth from Mars. Because conditions for life on Mars had been degenerating for several thousand years, all life on that planet gradually became extinct except for the huge dinosaurs, which at the time, had ruled the planet and maintained its well-being. They eventually faced the fact that a migration would have to be made to Earth where the subsistence of life was still possible. Eons were spent by these creatures in mastering techniques of miniaturization. When, at last, conditions were right, a conclave of 144,000 dinosaurs miniaturized the space between the atoms in their bodies so that they required only one thousandth of their original volumes. The tiny dinosaurs then transported themselves in small saucer-shaped vehicles to Earth. Leaving several hundred million of their brethren behind, these creatures survived the trip to earth. They landed in a place that today, we know as Machu Picchu in Peru. They restored themselves to their former sizes and began populating the earth.
At that time, the only other creatures on Earth were insects, birds, and fish. The dinosaurs created the new creatures we see today; lions, tigers, dogs, cats, etc., and several others that have become extinct. Human beings were also designed and produced at this time. The male human was called Mada and the female, Eve. Humans, a favorite of the dinosaurs, were taught to communicate in a language called Ruasonid, which, over the years, splintered and evolved into Greek, Latin, English, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and all the other languages that exist. At the request of the Egyptian rulers, the dinosaurs built the pyramids in Egypt by miniaturizing the boulders, setting them in place, then expanding them to their present sizes. These structures served as the resting places of the pharaohs for thousands of years. Dinosaurs also built a statue in the imag
e of a revered pharaoh, Xnihps, which, at a later age, became known as The Sphinx. In England. they helped the Druids build Stonehenge. The dinosaurs continued constructing the computers which they had used on Mars. The chips are made from sand crystals which were found in abundance at Giza. The purpose of the computers was to control the everyday lives of humans, the other creatures on earth, and the dinosaurs, themselves. No attempt was made to control fish, insects, and birds.
As the computers took more and more control of Earth, it became obvious to the dinosaurs that certain species of life had no purpose and might need to be made extinct. They did nothing with respect to their kinsmen which had been left on Mars. The dinosaurs felt that these beings should resolve their own destinies. It is known that, today, there are small colonies of dinosaurs still existing on Mars, and that they are planning another excursion to earth. This is expected to occur sometime in the year 2026. When this happens, the landing is expected to be at Reno where sand for the construction of computers is in plentiful supply.
The computers that were built by the dinosaurs are still operating and will continue to do so for thousands, if not millions, of years. They are located in the computer bays of one thousand
