Strength, Chapter 1

The intention of this novel is to convey the nature and techniques of advanced telepathy.

Let there be light...

From the Natural Telepaths own version of the Gospels, attributed to the Holy Spirit.

Mary became Darth's and Helen's latest daughter - but from the beginning matters turned an unusual turn. The Natural Telepaths had begun an interaction and Lisa was present in the imagery, in her golden-yellow long dress, standing neatly, when suddenly her image was replaced by a girl in a long, kind of old-fashioned, black dress with a white apron-like front. Helen, sensing a "birth in the spirit" of a new child, accepted her, as did Darth, as their new "daughter in the spirit."

Within days of first interacting with Darth and Helen a transfer of spiritual imagery began to take place between Darth and Helen and Mary. Neither Darth or Helen could control this - the inner light in the young girl seemed to know what it sought from Darth's and Helen's memories of their spiritual journey.

Mary used a soft silent form of telepathy, faint but still "audible". During the days and nights when thoughts and memories from the past transferred from Darth to Mary, she would flow explanations about herself and her ordinary life family. When she was first asked to choose a name for herself, she suggested Shalom, but neither Darth or Helen felt this appropriate and decided to name her Mary.

When the extended and largely uncontrolled spiritual interaction stablized, in their minds Darth and the young Mary, who was fourteen in ordinary life, imagined sitting by the tomb of Jesus. A cave. The heavy stone that had blocked the opening had been moved aside. A figure in white apparel, an angel, stood by the cave. The imagery spiritual but composed of feelings rather than the small dots typical of spiritual imagery, which meant the imagery had a "feel" of the spirit instead of being seen with the eye of the spirit as spiritual.

Helen, in a light shirt and long dark blue pleated skirt, sensing something so different about this young girl, also formed in the vision, standing behind the two. Moved by the spirit, Helen stepped forward and lowered her head to the young girl, asking her, "your Majesty...do you accept me as this man's wife in every sense of the word?"

The young girl turned, nodded, flowed, "sure, mum". Helen stepped back, stood still, patiently, ever so curious about the young Mary.

"Dad", Mary had already formed a personal relationship with Darth and Helen and flowed the word "dad" naturally, "the angel, to me, is more important than Jesus. The angel is revealing a mystery. The tomb is open...let us assume Jesus has been born into the world again."

Darth forced imagery of a forest, light shining down, and he and Mary (real-life imagery in which her hair was seen to be long and black and her eyes big and appealing) sat in a platform made from wood amid this forest. Darth, sensing something so akin to his own spirit, asked, "how do you cope with the spirit in you?"

"I don't think about it", Mary shook her head and leant against her new telepathic father, "sometimes I wonder why me? Am I deserving? What have I done - or what will I do in my life with this spirit in me. And you father, I sense, feel, the same Holy Spirit in you."

"Much the same as you", Darth replied, "I don't try to think about it...at other times I wonder why me."

She smiled, snuggled into his side, and they remained like this for a long time, absorbing the sensation - or perhaps, in their heart, happy to have found one another. The setting quite enchanting and magical - the forest, a man made clearing, a wooden platform, sun filtering through the tall leafy trees.

Mary's flow was strong but ever so "silent", so soft Darth barely felt it. Lisa had also spent time with Mary and took Darth aside, "dad, that one has the grace of Jesus, an inner light like the light in you...remember our myths and legends? Some parts suggest your first-born daughter, me, is your true companion...but other parts suggest your true companion is the virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. That new girl...the closest to Mary I can see."

The image of the cave returned, and Darth imagined being with Mary by the cave, sitting still, in silence, in wonder, in anticipation. The vision strong. A sense of "sanctity". Mary, in her black kind of old-fashioned dress with that white front with lacy borders sat still, neatly, silently, pondering. Darth was ever so perplexed by this new daughter - her flow young, tender, gentle, but with a feel of "divine guidance".

"What is the angel saying to us?", Darth asked.

Mary turned to him. "I think...the tomb is open...the angel is suggesting that...my people...the Quakers...can be the Son of Man in this generation...Jesus reborn...what do you feel?"

"I don't fully understand the implication", Darth replied.

Mary shuffled herself closer to Darth, learnt against him, smiled, flowed ever so softly in a lovely way, "yes, father, but that is a mystery...do you object is the question? If you have no reason to object, please say yes."

"Yes", Darth replied after he glanced at Helen who, after some consideration, nodded.

Mary forced a memory from Darth and Helen, a vision of ancient Jerusalem market place. In the vision Darth and Helen, robed as people might be in those days, stood in a busy market place. Helen held a baby in white. Mary was standing with them. "I feel I have been here before", Mary said as she turned and looked about, focusing on the strong visual imagery - strong but spiritual imagery which means it was made of small compact dots.

"It seems to me", Mary said as she looked about, "that God has asked you, dad", she glanced at Darth, "to accept three women as your wives in the spirit, across the telepathic plane. With their permission, you may also accept others. Helen is the wife in every sense, sure, but that means little to anyone except those versed in Catholic Life in the Spirit theology."

"Are you an angel?", Helen asked Mary.

"I feel I am a companion to the Holy Spirit", Mary replied as she searched for truth in the bottom of her heart, "and I now have found the Holy Spirit", Mary indicated to Darth, "and I have found you, a lovely Jewish woman who has turned a Christian in Life in the Spirit."

"I was good looking once", Helen mused, "but time has passed."

Mary turned, studied her, in the vision Helen a woman about thirty, "mother, you are beautiful, you know you are. False modesty is vanity."

Helen noticed a log and stepped to it, sat down. She called Mary and the girl sat down with Helen. "Tell me...your opinion...why did God burden me with seeing no choice but to allow two other wives in the spirit to that man?", she indicated to Darth standing in robes a carpenter at the time might have worn.

"I don't know", Mary considered, "is it a problem for you?"

"Not anymore. I have become used to this state of affairs. Was at first and for a long time", Helen replied.

In Darth's thoughts a new image formed. An image from a picture he had seen. It was an image of Mary at the age of about ten or twelve being presented in the Temple in Ancient Jerusalem. It was an image from Christian imagination - some Christians in the 18th century decided that Mary, like Jesus, must have been presented at the Temple and invented such a presentation. The image remained strong in his mind and overlapped with the setting. Darth called Mary and Helen, "come on, let us present you the Temple. With God nothing is impossible, and time has no meaning. Let it be as some believe, let us present you at the temple."

As they walked toward the temple clearly seen in the distance, Mary walking quickly in front, Helen flowed to Darth quietly, "you have proved trustworthy in looking after the shepherds of God...now your Father might have given you another challenge, to look after a soul reborn. That girl might have within the virgin Mary...how else can we explain how she could use her will so easily, so quickly, and her spirit searched mine and your memories and found so quickly only those it wanted to bind together?"

Soon they were in the Temple. Mary walked in, humbly, neatly, and stood still as Darth and Helen imagined a High Priest and two assistants, and Helen introduced Mary to them. They, and they were real persons online, real Rabbis from their combined Life in the Spirit group, exchanged thoughts with Mary and said a blessing and performed what seemed a ritual of a kind not familiar to Darth.

As they walked out, Mary most content, she asked Helen, "mother....I know you are a Jewess...but your husband a Catholic...but I sense you teach him nothing about the practice of Judaism in ordinary life."

"That's right, I don't", Helen replied, "he can look it up in the library if he is interested...Jewish Life in the Spirit and the practice of Judaism in ordinary life is separated by a chasm as deep as the ocean. When in the spirit I am a soul, not a person, and a soul is has not need for labels. He does not need to know anything about such matters. Likewise, I rarely ask about ordinary practice of Catholicism but in the spirit that is what I am...that too is different."

Mary locked Darth's will, causing him to recall spiritual experience he associated solely with being with Jesus - the vision that formed had a feel of something "alien", as if a heaven of a kind, and in the center of the cross-roads in this image a man stood robed like what Jesus might have been robed like. Darth imagined himself as a man in this vision, and Mary by his side, and she glanced about and explained, "I sense this is where God explained to you how a life can be reborn...how God's will can bind aspects of a life, memories, together in such a way that a soul can be reborn."

"You are puzzling me - and you sense well", Darth said matter of fact.

"Am I father?", Mary stepped to him and smiled, and put her hands around his abdomen and looked up, "I know I have a special talent...I felt an inner light in me for a long time...I felt I have lived before...I don't know where or how but...as I touched your spirit...so many of your personal visions of life in Ancient Jerusalem came to me...made me feel that...that...I was there. How do you know you are not the Son of Man?"

"You say that I am", Darth replied using the tongue of angels, as he looked about this magnificent and haunting mental imagery, haunting because the sense of a heaven of some kind was ever so strong - but not an everlasting heaven, rather a heaven in which a soul waited.

"Helen is not with us in this high level of awareness?", Mary said. "None of your three wives, Helen or Lisa-1 or Lana, have sufficient faith to make this quantum leap into this pseudo-heaven...but I have."

"They are fine and dedicated people - but they are human beings", Darth replied.

"I know", Mary smiled and began to fade this vision from their minds.

Sensing an unusual or important event, or forced by the spirit, many began to come online and as they did the setting of the Natural Telepath's official mansion, the White House as it was known, became strong. In the setting all the usual players imagined being present. At first Helen wore the Crown of Andromeda, symbol of the Telepathic Queen, but Lisa, the twelve year old, the first-born, walked to Helen and gave a curtsy, "mum, you are dad's wife", she pointed to Darth standing near Helen, Helen with her hand around his upper arm, "and for now I shall wear the crown that belongs to me by birthright." Lisa forced Helen's will and the Crown of Andromeda formed on her head and faded from Helen's.

Lisa walked to Mary who imagined being in the setting. The two sat down neatly facing one another. Around them many adults, and some children, also imagined being present.

"What is it you are Mary?", Lisa asked and pointed to the Crown on her head, indicating she wanted a truthful answer as the Telepathic Queen deserved one.

"I feel an inner light", Mary replied, "which I feel has something to do with...my community of Quakers."

"Well", Lisa said, "as matters stand, the psychics, our people, have hit the Australian Magistrates, Judges, some politicians, and all police officers, with mind technology weapons, making simple death no longer possible for them, making sure those will form a psychic pit that is controlled and understood. This may seem evil in your heart. How do you feel about those who throw people in prisons (i.e. judges), about those who dedicate their life to protecting the rich from the poor (i.e. the police), about those who protect the corruption in a democracy (i.e. politicians), about those who strive only to earn more and more money to buy properties and the like."

"Those who bear arms or swear oaths to human institutions are no friends of Quakers. I ignore that which I do not understand. And I am not the Telepathic Queen like you will be...that is none of my concern. But I need your father...my dad now too", Mary pointed to Darth.

Lisa glanced at Darth and walked to him, dragged him to Mary and made him sit down, and she also sat down. Using her majestic flow, she flowed to Mary, "I can spare my father for a task you might have in mind. What do you have in mind?"

Mary lowered her head and smiled. This must have been amusing to the adults - the twelve year old willing to "spare" her father for a particular task. As the imagery grew more vivid, it was clear that the young Mary had big eyes and long black hair.

Mary projected into Lisa's thought the open tomb of Jesus. The two imagined standing before this tomb. Mary pointed to the angel, "that angel is my light, I feel, I believe, I know. I am not completely certain what the angel is charging me with, but I suspect if will become clear in time."

Lisa imagined a doll in her arms and was swaying with it. To Mary she explained, "I am only twelve, I am not allowed to give birth in the spirit...but in a way I am doing so, that's why I pretend to hold and sway with a doll."

"I understand", Mary tickled the doll under the chin, "you are so highly intelligent...I sense this."

Lisa looked about, as if anxious no one was listening, and leant to Mary and explained, "the adults can do this easier, to give birth to the spirit in a group, they use telepathic sex, it causes something apparently which makes this less painful and easier...but I am not allowed to do that, and not so certain I even would know how...so I give birth often in my way, a silent way, forming a child in me which becomes a spirit that flows across telepathy channels, somehow making the channels easier to use, and somehow refining the soul, and somehow enhancing the sense of life in the believers."

"Your poor thing", Mary caressed Lisa's hair, "that is something Helen, or Lisa-1, or Lana, should be doing. But I tell you what...you are the grace of heaven in this world - your flows, your gentle manner, your dedication and commitment to the Holy Spirit."

"Thanks", Lisa was genuinely surprised but pleased by Mary's observation. "And not when it comes to faith", Lisa shook her head, "none of the woman can do this...they give birth often in other ways, but not in faith, only I alone seem to be able to do this...and dad does not know so don't tell him, he might get upset because this is hard labor."

"I think our father knows now", Mary glanced at the angel in the setting, "because this setting is not private, others can see it."

"Oh well", Lisa smiled at the doll in her arms, "he would find out sooner or later...I will have to explain to him it is not that hard...I just wish it was quicker and easier and simpler."

"Walk with me", Mary said and the two began to walk along a dirt path leading away from the open cave. Mary was saying, "the angel loves you...you have something special in you."

"I know", Lisa nodded, "it is called a spiritual force...a form of pure energy that binds the faith of all humanity, and some animal species, and a few alien friends of Natural Telepaths, in my spirit. According to Jewish myths and legends, they are the only ones who have some insight into such matters, a spiritual force is like an angel, not a part of God but always blessed by God and happy and content in the presence of God. A spiritual force can find a solution to billions of seemingly complex and opposite thoughts and feelings and perceptions...that sort of thing a spiritual force can do. I am blessed with one inside me."

"I have a secret", Mary glanced about as if checking that no one was spying on what she was about to say, "I am young, yes, but I am also hiding a woman Quaker inside of me."

"You have a telepathy link with an adult, is that what you mean?" Lisa asked.

"Not exactly what I meant but...but...it might mean the same thing", Mary replied.

They walked a while and came upon an image of a man crucified on the cross. The two looked, Lisa feeling sad, "why did they do that? What did Jesus ever do to them?"

"Cause they were animal life, much like most politicians, judges, police, many bankers, are today...only after money, control over people, gathering and protecting their wealth and property, about intimidating and threatening people with their laws, with their prisons, with their guns. Let's face it, from what I know about dad, he would have met the same fate in a less educated and democratic age."

"That's probably true!", Lisa replied, "in ordinary life dad finds and proves corruption in Australian Law, and it is so widespread, and the supposed controls in place are there to actually protect suggestions of corruption. Last year, in May, in Parramatta Court, a $10,000 bride to a Magistrate was proven beyond a doubt and from that time every politician and legal forums are doing everything to cover this up, to make sure no one knows how easy it is to purchase court orders at a price. Animals in power are disgusting! No notions of heaven, of God, of compassion, they only struggle to acquire wealth and prestige and money and status...none gives one concern over any child dying of hunger, of poverty, of the long queues at welfare centres, of the mass of unemployed leaving below the poverty line."

"Wow! You seem well informed...and are a deeply thoughtful twelve year old...and there", Mary pointed to the man on the cross, "you have your answer as to why they did this - animals in power are disgusting. You worked this out on your own...most people can work this out on their own...they are afraid to, they want to believe there is no such thing as corruption and persecution."

"Well", Lisa swayed with her doll while looking at the cross, "I go to a Catholic school in ordinary life and the Catholics teach about social justice and attempt to motivate students to do something about this in small ways, like writing letters to politicians."

Lisa sat down near the cross, close to the feet of Jesus. Mary also. "That is so sad", Lisa said as she swayed with the doll in her arms, "why must this continue all the time? The Natural Telepaths have the plans, the weapons, they can get rid of animal life from the planet - but they want to do this ever so slowly, ever so scientifically, keeping controls in place, making sure their mind weapons work properly, making sure the Australian psychic pit forms correctly and perfectly."

"Trust them", Mary said gently as she stroked Lisa's hair, "you are lovely, you know...in a way, you have been a wife to your telepathic father, giving birth to faith, the most difficult birth of all...without him knowing this."

"I love my telepathic father", Lisa replied, "and I felt this was important, so I have been doing this for a year or so."

Mary faded the vision, with some effort, this only after seeking guidance from her personal "angel" (as she thought of that apparition in white before the cave). The imagery that formed next was strong - a field, a panoramic field, and a multitude of figures, some in front with military uniforms. Lisa and Mary imagined being near them, Lisa still with a doll in her arms. On Lisa's head the Crown of Andromeda and on Mary's the golden Crown of a Telepathic Princess. One of the men in a military uniform, the five stars of a General on him, came closer and explained to Mary, "the Natural Telepaths have used their mind weapons following an order of an Australian Court against a psychic...an order purchased for $10,000 but in Australia the regime is about covering up mass corruption in the court system...in any case, our retaliation is proper in our eyes...they violated our laws, they threatened us with their laws and their militia, the police force, so we retaliate with out laws and our military force...simple as that...threaten Natural Telepaths and you pay the price."

"You are blameless before me, sir", Mary replied and gave a curtsy, "I am not interested in such matters...my mission, as I see it, is to learn to give birth to those police officers in the world who do understand what happened, and who are troubled in their conscience and spirit, and this brings them online to Life in the Spirit. The Quakers, my community", she pointed to herself, "shall seek the guidance of our angels, our inner light, as to how best to look after such men and women."

.....................

Sensing the time was right, Darth projected into Mary's mind, and Lisa's, and Amy his thirteen year old Anglican child, an image of a man on a cross and the four imagined standing before the cross of Jesus. On Amy and Mary the crown of a Telepathic Princess, on Lisa the Crown of Andromeda. Each girl imagined a doll in her hands and swaying with it like with a baby.

Darth, in his all black Darth Vader outfit, walked about and explained to the girls using a deep noble flow, "what Jesus has done was to set the limit of evolution, for want of a better word, for the planet itself. Above his will there is horror, the world of aliens and terror, below it is the sanctity of the Holy Spirit that protects the planet from alien vultures. In this generation, the most likely persons who can come online to Life in the Spirit in vast numbers, are in fact police officers. The ordinary person content with his job and house and car is hard to move in the spirit, but those who are police officers may not be that hard to move in the spirit. According to one alien life, planet Earth is too primitive for laws and order systems. No need for these, these just systems of control over people, and systems to protect the wealthy from the poor. What we need is a police officer, does not matter which country, to integrate within his being the mystery of the cross, in a way relevant to the community. Let me explain this simply. A new religion has been born, the religion of man-made laws, but the high priests of that religion, the lawyers and judges, are not normal human being after a few years of legal thinking. But police officers are normal human beings. A great many of such high priests of that religion have to be destroyed, and the only ones in a position to do so are police officers. To do this, they need a shepherd, a guide, a fine white light which clearly conveys to them the difference between normal legal judgments, and abnormal legal processes and decisions. That abnormal are corrupt, but such corruption is too subtle and clever to be easily caught on video or the like. How am I doing?"

Darth turned to the three girls, each listening with intent, carefully digesting their telepathic father's words.

"I understand", Lisa nodded.

"Me too, strange as this may seem, cause I am the least smart of my sisters", Amy said to Mary.

Mary also nodded, indicating she did understand the gravity and importance of the matter at hand.

To clarify the issue more, Darth projected various recalls of himself with the spirit in him showing him exactly what is required. In a sense, for a few days, Darth as a man was the police officer and in him the forces of the spirit combining, blending, causing in him perceptions to take place and finding the "optimal point" at which an equivalent of Jesus on the cross was required. Now his experiences as a man during that time flowed and were made known to Lisa, Amy and Mary.

Mary locked Lisa's will and the two imagined sitting on a beach, in Australia, with dolls on the sand and each girl changing their doll.

"How do you cope with your telepathic father?", Mary asked, "don't you understand the spirit in him is God?"

"I know this", Lisa replied, "but I love him and trust him and I can cope easily, more easily than Helen or Lisa-1 or Lana."

Amy now also imagined sitting with the three, slightly to the side of the two, and also changing a doll, flowing, "this is a trick on our part...we are giving birth in a real spiritual way...but none of us are old enough to do this properly, nor do we have a male partner to assist."

"It was easier for me to do this in the first place", Lisa explained, "than to tell Helen or Lisa-1 or Lana that their faith was not sufficient to give certain types of spiritual birth."

"I agree", Mary nodded, "much easier to do this than hurt deeply such fine women."

"You see, Mary", Amy was now explaining, "in our father alone the faith of Jesus...the others while children of God and people in the spirit do not have sufficient faith to bridge the gap between the world of the spirit and the world of the flesh. Dad on his own has done this."

"Yes", Mary agreed as she pinned a diaper on her doll, "and I have a police officer in mind...a fine man...a nice man...not an Australian but that does not matter...a Quaker at heart if not in deed...it will take me time but...I will achieve this, with the help of my angel."

"Actually", Lisa finished changing her doll and lifted her doll high, "an angel is probably better than dad in this regard...dad is a part of God at will, as one with God, in him the Holy Spirit like in you Mary I feel...but the Holy Spirit has too many...deep perceptions and insights...to be too useful to humanity."

"Don't tell dad this, Lisa", Amy smiled as she finished changing her doll, "dad will be hurt."

The imagery changed to Ancient Jerusalem. A strong spiritual image, made of deep golden and reddish dots. The sense of time 2000 years ago. The fashion of the garments like what might have been at the time. This time it was Lana with her sensual figure and waist long black hair who stood with Darth as a man, in Lana's arm a baby in white. The three girls also imagined being in this spiritual image. Lana walked to a log and sat down. Sensing something deep, each of the girls imagined a doll in their arms and sat down, each changing the diaper on their doll. Lana smiled, flowed to Darth privately, "look at this...three young girls willing to be a woman to you...willing to give birth to the soul of man...each now has your faith, the faith of Jesus. None of your wives have this. I have the blessing of Allah and that is my grace, but I have no such faith as these three have attained to. Helen has the confidence of Moses, Lisa-1 is a true Bride of Christ and she has the vision of Mary as her grace, but not even she has such faith as our three children."

"I know, I marvel", Darth flowed back. He was deeply moved by what he was understanding Lisa, Amy, and Mary, were doing with the dolls, and what these signified.

Mary, feeling uncertain, recalled the mental image of the angel and the cave. She imagined standing with the angel and hearing the angel say to her, "Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thou."

As happened often in the past, after one person from a particular spiritual affiliation came online, others often followed. It was not long before two male figures imagined themselves with Mary in that vision of the angel and the cave. The figures looked unusual, in robes like men might have worn in the 18th century, and each held a big black top hat in their hands. Mary locked Darth's thought, imagined him among them (he as a man).

"Father", she took his hand and made him turn to her, "listen...my people choose this old costume so they can identify one another among us...I know it feels and looks odd, but you don't mind Muslims in their robes, I know this, Lana explained to me, so accept these Quakers and their strange outfits."

"Fine", Darth nodded as he focused on the two men in their very old style baggy trousers and coats and those long black top hats that looked like they might cover the whole head when put on.

Then a vision of a lake, a boat, inside the boat a woman, she also in old style clothes and on her head something like a hat or bonnet. Darth imagined sitting next to her as she flowed very easily and naturally, "the lake...the boat...Jesus in the boat...you are Jesus in a sense for now...I have faith now...sufficient to force this imagery in my head...I don't know how but I feel I am in Mary, and she in me...but don't ask me to explain this, I don't know, its how I thought of this effect, of this spiritual experience with Mary."

Mary also imagined herself in the boat and she explaining, "mum, you", she pointed at the woman, "because you are a Quaker, you are my mother in the spirit at the will level...a wife to this man", she pointed to Darth, "at a certain level...but don't worry about what that means...I sense so much already, I feel I know all about how this works...this boat vision is a Catholic Life in the Spirit imagery...the faith of Peter, you know, when he stood on the sand and saw Jesus in the boat and Jesus told him to come to him across the water...it is you, mother, who is Jesus for now, and dad", Mary pointed to Darth, "is in the spirit of Peter...because in dad the Holy Spirit, sometimes he is in the spirit of Moses, sometimes in the spirit of Jesus, sometimes in the spirit of Allah, and sometimes in the spirit of one of the Apostles or Prophets."

"Yes, I sense you speak truth", the woman nodded after some silent contemplation. She leant to Darth, put her hand around his upper arm, and asked delicately, "what does it feel like to be as one with God?"

"Impossible to explain", Darth replied then projected into the woman's mind a memory of mental imagery which came together in a way that made him, for a microscopic fraction of a second, feel like God. The woman now also felt this, and as she did she lapsed against Darth in the boat, flowing from her spirit, "yes, Lord, in the spirit I too accept being your wife."

The moment she said this, Lisa-1 and Helen and Lana locked onto the woman's will, forced her to silence her brain, and as she did the image of their number 1 telepathic house began to form clearly and the new woman imagined sitting in the kitchen with a man (Darth) and a woman.

"I'm Lisa-1", Lisa-1 explained, "technically, I am the wife of the faith, Helen is the legal wife by Jewish Life in the Spirit tradition, a wife in the spirit, and Lana is wife by the will of Allah. Please don't try to refine this or understand this, it took us a long time to make sense of this. What name shall we know you as?"

"Bonnie? Is that all right?", the new woman suggested.

"Fine", Lisa-1 said and forced into Bonnie's mind a strong Catholic faith image - in the image Bonnie imagined herself in ordinary life standing on a hill and seeing the setting Sun in the distance, and with the vision a sense of a new world coming into existance. The vision faded.

Bonnie turned to Darth, put her hand on his, asking, "how important is it to you to consummate a marriage like this? Telepathic sex I am talking about."

"A certain intimacy forms between a man and woman after", Darth replied, "without this some telepathy channels can not form."

"I understand", Bonnie replied and turned to Lisa-1, "I need your permission?"

"Mine, and Helen's, and Lana's", Lisa-1 replied, "Helen the main one...she technically the wife in every sense of the word...a Catholic mystery in the spirit as to what that means...don't ask please...it took us three, me and Helen and Lana, many years to accept we are a team, a highly professional team in a way, and we have seen the birth of a unified Life in the Spirit group under whose umbrella we now how a myriad of Life in the Spirit groups. The old world has passed away. The rest is a question of time."

"I don't doubt this", Bonnie glanced at Darth.

Helen entwined into the kitchen and walked to the stove, leant against it, crossed her arms as she focused on Bonnie. "Dear", she said softly, "our own Gospels guide us...Gospels of the Natural Telepaths...in these it is written than women are to explore the paths of love...you can have my permission to consummate a telepathic marriage, only once, but only when you feel the right reason."

"Goes for me too", Lisa-1 nodded, "and Lana is much the same in this regard."

"What is the right reason?", Bonnie asked Helen.

"That is something only you can be certain about", Helen replied, "the spirit in you, or your soul, has to be determined to mate with the Holy Spirit...the reason has to be holy in a sense, and poweful, because only a woman's will can cause telepathic sex...your will must be strong enough to overpower him as a man when you are ready and he is willing." (Helen indicated to Darth as she said this).

Bonnie stood up, excused herself, asked Darth to imagine sitting on the sofa with her in the other room of this house. As they did this, she put her hand around his upper arm and said softly, "I can sense very easily how a woman can arouse and interest a man using sensual flows...but what is the right reason? About this I am in the dark."

Mary must have seen all this in her thoughts because now she imagined being in the setting and standing before Bonnie and pointing to herself, "mother...don't you understand? I am the right reason."

Bonnie smiled and turned to Darth, "do you understand? That", she pointed to the girl, "is my daughter in ordinary life...Quakers have a mystery of our own...I know this, she knows this, I am in her, or she in me, when in the spirit of the Lord."

"Do you understand what your mother is proposing?", Darth asked Mary.

Mary shrugged and walked and sat on Darth's other side and put her hand around his upper arm, snuggled into him, flowing gently, "I don't wish to know...yes, I understand, but its only telepathy, its not ordinary life...but even so, I will assume in the right and proper spirit that your will is done already, so I assume it has taken place."

"Without exception", Darth said, "all our adopted daughters and sons, wanted very much to be born into the Natural Telepaths. You might dearly want this yourself after a few months of interacting with your new family."

"I already desire it father", Mary said and leant to look at Bonnie, "and the reason, mother, I am the right reason."

This setting was interrupted by an image of another woman, but dressed much the same as Bonnie, in a boat in a lake. The vision faded and Bonnie explained, "Quaker Life in the Spirit, I suspect, is similar to Jewish in the blending of many into the one image...that woman blends with me, her faith as one with me, her thoughts as one with me, she and I imagine ourselves with you, in this room, as if each one of us individually was present."

"I see", Darth nodded.

Bonnie stood up, practised walking in this imaginary setting. She enjoyed the effect. Mary came and took her aside, "do that quick please...I don't want to loose this chance...and I don't want to risk you not doing it."

Bonnie, most upset by Mary's "pushy" manner, leant and said quietly, "oh? Why don't you do it? You are fourteen but you are mature and it is only telepathy."

Mary glanced at Darth, hoping he did not hear this, and said quietly to Bonnie, "mother! I am a daughter not a wife."

"Don't be so pushy", Bonnie said, "he is a man....a real person...I am a woman...a real woman...this is not the imagination...I am deeply religious...it is not easy for me to consider this you know...my heart tells me it is the right thing to do...but think about this...only a female will can cause telepathic sex with a man...that implies me forcing myself on him...he is the Holy Spirit...of this I have no doubts...only for the right reason can I ever come near him in that way...you are the right reason but give me time, give our group time, to feel, to think, to reflect, to understand this properly."

"All right, I am sorry, mother", Mary replied and turned shy.

Many began to come online, and the Official Mansion setting formed - a strong visual image of a large White House and the people in the main room. The images close to ordinary life but ideal. Helen imagined herself in a long black sleeveless gown with a long split down one side revealing a long petite and shapely attractive leg. On Helen's longish blond hair the Crown of Andromeda. Bonnie imagined herself next to Helen. Darth imagined himself as a man next to twoof his Jewish Life in the Spirit "advisors". The Quakers began to form this image strongly - men and women formed images, and sat at an allocated table. The men all looked so old-fashioned in their clothes and black top hats, and the women also look old-fashioned.

Darth, who knew very little about the Quakers, asked Jim, "why do they look like that? Do Quakers really wear such clothes in ordinary life?"

"I don't think so", Jim replied quietly, "but this is their Life in the Spirit images. Perhaps traditional."

Bonnie, struggling in her soul with the "right reason" to consummate a marriage with Darth, turned to Helen. "Please explain - what is the right reason? It has something to do with Mary."

"I am a Jew", Helen replied, "and in my heart the Law of Moses...satisfy my being that Mary, your child, is a soul reborn, satisfy me in accordance with the strict nature of the law I speak of, and you have the right reason."

Bonnie felt a pang of "pregnancy". Something in her seemed to begin being born. She was astonished at what Helen had said but walked away to Lisa-1 who wore a long red gown. "And you? Please explain...what is the right reason to you?"

Lisa-1 formed a new setting, alone with Bonnie, in the upper room of a house. She said softly, "I am concerned that...why is Mary to be seen as the virgin Mary reborn? I worry about what this implies. Satisfy me this will not harm Life in the Spirit and you have the right reason by me."

Bonnie felt another pang of pregnancy. The image faded quickly and the setting of the White House resume. Bonnie walked to Lana in a long cream elegant gown. "And you Lana? What is the right reason by you?"

"Make the experience enjoyable to my husband, and you have the right reason", Lana replied.

Again Bonnie felt a pang of pregnancy. She imagined a belly like a pregnant woman might have and walked to Darth, took him aside, "wow....I have never given birth in the spirit in this way...my female instinct tells me this is what it is...the different desires and wishes, thoughts, feelings, spirit, of your three existing wives, come to my womb, and from my womb a child, a new understanding, a spirit, will be born and will flow across to my Quaker Life in the Spirit group. Is this how it works?"

"Yes", Darth smiled.

Then he locked Mary's mind and formed the vision of the Temple in Ancient Jerusalem. In the temple he leant toward Mary and said, "see what Jesus looked like as a man, I project this image to you", and he did as he said so, a brief projection, and he continued, "and see yourself in a life past...you were a celibate Catholic Sister, about the 15th century, see the image from God through me to you, by your side a ten year old boy, your companion, I know not what he was or much about you, but the image comes to you", and Darth projected from his thoughts the images he wanted for Mary, and continued, "you are not a soul of the virgin Mary...but for reasons not clear, many want you to be...let it be so...let them believe you might be."

"Yes, dad", Mary, sensing the majesty of his thoughts gave a curtsy. Then for a moment she wondered if she ought to ask her "angel" about this but then the feeling of being next to God formed in her so strongly she decided this was not necessary. She imagined walking in the Temple, hands behind her, looking about, she explaining to her new telepathic father, "I am trying to get a feel for what Mary might have been like when my age."

"Thank you for understanding", Darth flowed to her.

Mary turned sharply to him, "dad...I feel I already love you...as a man, as a father in the spirit, as the Holy Spirit...I don't care one way or the other if I understand you...I accept what you asked of me. I do."

The way in which she said this made Darth think, "ah...maybe you are Mary's soul...maybe my Father (i.e. the God) is throwing some wool over my own eyes."

To Mary he said, "in the next week, when night comes, go outside your house, look at a brick wall, your eye of faith will open, on the wall you will see writing, a message from me to you. You are a child of God and the spirit of life shall form strongly in you...as your journey of life goes on, discern with that spirit of life what kind of enhancement of life is suitable for humanity."

"All right, look forward to that", Mary turned and gave an elegant curtsy.
