"The last Interview"            Chapter 16

Inside the den, Beenan was answering questions posed by the eight media people, who were allowed in. Cliff and Kirby and Kelly were listening attentively. Marie knocked on the door. Allen answered it. He did not say anything. He just pointed his finger to two empty chairs. Marie and Sarah quietly took their seats. Bo and Beem went to the kitchen for a date or whatever was around. These are the two others who came with us to Balenn, said Allen; Marie and Sarah. They work in the lab with me at U.B.C. The girls smiled and nodded.

We have seen the film and read your report on that visit to Balenn, said one reporter. Why is there no film of Playland? We were not in our physical forms at the time, replied Allen, thus we could not carry anything. You mean you left your bodies, like in a dream? It was no dream, replied Allen. Surely you have heard of people capable of astral travel? I never did believe that stuff, said the reporter. Allen hung on tightly to his crystal. He willed himself into three identical Allens, side by side. If we can do this, they said in harmony, don't you think we can astral travel? The reporter was shocked. Allen remained in three parts for a few minutes, to prove his point. Which one of you do I speak to now, asked the reporter. Two of us are astral projections, said Allen, so you shouldn't speak to them, if you don't believe in that stuff. Which one is the real you, asked the reporter? I admit I can't tell. Than you do believe in astral projection now, asked Allen? I guess you changed my mind for me, replied the reporter humbly, as he sat down.

Another reporter stepped up and asked the Allens; is this the power of your crystal I have heard about? Allen was shocked and stuck for words momentarily. No one was supposed to know about the crystals. What did you hear about crystals, asked Allen? From your film, Balenn consists of crystal everywhere. We assume this crystal is what gives you this power.

It is in a way, replied Beenan. It is obvious from our previous demonstrations, that we don't need any crystal to perform our "supernatural" feats. The crystal is like training wheels on a bike. Soon enough you can take them off and perform without them. Let me make one comment about the crystal on Balenn, before we leave the subject, said Beenan. From a distance a pile of rocks is a pile of rocks. When you approach the pile and observe from close up, you find that some of the rocks are quartz, some are marble and even chunks of gold are in the pile, yet from a distance, you see a pile of rocks only. The crystal you see in the film on Balenn is like the pile of rocks. All you are seeing from the distance is crystal, but there are many varieties of crystal for various functions, and applications.

Allen willed back into one form again. He was glad Beenan had saved him on that one. He would have felt foolish, if he had had to produce his crystal for all to see. His demonstration of the three Allens was an act of impulse and he was having second thoughts about whether or not he should have been so quick to demonstrate.

Another reporter stood to ask a question. Would you elaborate on that some more, he asked? Do you mean this crystal from Balenn is magical? It could be, replied Beenan. I won't comment any further on it. I will bet each of you have a chunk of it on you right now. That's how you can do all those tricks. There was no reply. Beenan did not want to reveal too much more about the crystals given to his group. The next reporter took his turn. The television cameras were going all the time. The reporters were hastily drawing their conclusions, connecting the physical crystal with the Ehesti powers, for their biased editorials. Beenan didn't want the story to give that impression, but he had done all he could to explain it, without overdoing it. Assuming the crystal gave powers, would make everyone want to possess one, when in fact, the crystals only work for those who have been through Main Storage. He was hoping that Kelly would clear up that point in her story, before "magic crystals" began appearing on the market.

You know that all this won't sit well with the religious sector, said the reporter. Are you saying that there is no God or heaven or hell? Not at all, replied Beenan. We know our God, which we call "all that is" and you know yours. Ours is a Gestalt of highly developed spirits, where yours is one God, ruling your universe. The Gods of old were believed in by those from that time. Which is the true God? In the days of old, they didn't know any better, answered the reporter. They worshipped the sun and many other Gods. That is true, said Beenan, but what about those who live a thousand years in the future. They will speak of you as not knowing any better and worshipping your one God. Which is the real God now, theirs in the future or yours now? The reporter didn't bother to reply. He wasn't sure of his stand.

They are all true Gods. We cannot ridicule the believers in the God of old and not expect anyone to ridicule our God, after the same amount of time passes in the future. Again, in your religions, you choose to call your path "the only one" and leave no room for others to get to heaven.

The truth of it is that all religions do some good for some people. Some of the harm they can do is to take away the responsibility for our actions. The devil made me do it, etc.,, If there was no devil, than the only one you could blame for your misfortunes is you and that would hardly be acceptable. You wouldn't deliberately give yourself bad luck. Or would you? If your "bad luck" caused you to become fed up with your present situation in life, you would pull up stakes and move thousands of miles away. If in your new location, you were to find more happiness than you have ever known, was it all caused by the bad luck? What happened was that your sub-conscious knew you needed a change and it pressured you to move, by creating what seemed like bad luck. Your short term evaluation of what seemed like misfortunes was actually your sub-conscious preparing you for the happiness you have now.

There was no devil causing the bad luck and no God causing the resulting happiness. Most religions also close doors in the sense that the answer "it was God's will", puts an end to the investigation. The more we investigate the cause of events, the more we see our involvement, both as individuals and in mass. It is time to stop blaming everyone and everything, for our destiny and realize our own part in the massive scheme of things. Kirby will elaborate on this point more thoroughly, after we have gone.

Only God can perform supernatural feats, is a dogma that is slowly being challenged. Some would say that we Ehesti are supernatural because we can defy your rules of physics. We are not Gods by any means or sense of the imagination. To others not familiar with our abilities, we might be labeled Gods. We are no more than mere Ehesti, living in our own way, attempting to fulfill ourselves as you do. Being here, is our attempt to civilize you to our ways, just as you would try to civilize your third world.

The power of belief is the biggest influence in your lives; no matter which God you attribute your happiness to. Your belief is what creates the results. If you did not believe in your God's ability, your belief would focus on another source of power. Until you learn to re-learn your own abilities, you will seem to be the pawn in some larger plan, where the king, queen and main pieces of the game are controlled by religious people. The power of your own beliefs is limited only by the boundaries of your imagination.

In the years to come, you will come to a closer and closer connection with your own sub-conscious. This will put your abilities on a higher plane and raise your perception of God to a higher plane also. Our visit and the visit of others will help to influence this change. The process of learning is also a process of eliminating fear. You fear the spider, until you find out he is harmless and than he becomes just another insect. You fear the unknown, in the direction of the astral world. Our visits will help to prove to you that just as with the spider, there is nothing to fear.

Have I elaborated enough on that subject, asked Beenan? Do you mean that, as the years pass, we will still maintain our religious beliefs, only on a higher plane, asked the same reporter? That is correct, more or less. As you acquire more and more control over what was once God's will, such as the weather, etc, you will raise your beliefs to a higher point. This will not lessen your belief in your God, but enhance your belief in yourself. The higher a plane your God rests on, the more respect you give him and the more sure you are of His or it's existence. Our God or All that is, has the position of generating the influences that move us all, in any one direction. The things you call supernatural are common everyday occurrences for us, so our God must be way above the supernatural level.

You need the belief in your fallibility, in order to die. As soon as you realize your immortality, you will find it stupid to die. You will simply rearrange your molecules, as we do, into another form and you can live in or out of your new form. Once you realize the concept that your bodies are but another set of clothes, many things will change. All this sounds supernatural to you again, but now that you have living proof that we exist, hopefully you will change your ideas about what is supernatural. We have shown you how we live and that we do not die. Why not pattern your life after what we believe and maybe you won't have to die either. It's worth the gamble, isn't it? Believing that you must die creates a need for a way to die. That is why, when you cure one disease, another surfaces, Wars help people die, by challenging each other, for the right to live. There are life forms, like you, that do not die. When it is time to go, they simply vanish. A long pause occurred, while everyone tried to absorb what was said. Beenan continued.

This need to die, creates all kinds of confusion with you. You spend so much time and effort trying to stay alive and healthy, that when you get older and feel like dying, the only acceptable way to go, is to catch a disease and hope for the end to come quickly.

Speaking of ideas, said Beem, let's disguise ourselves as average reporters and go back in, to listen to Beenan. It will be interesting to see how Allen handles the fact that two chairs are missing. Allen is a bit more alert than he looks, replied Bo. I'd bet he recognizes us, even if we don't speak. Remember, he is clairvoyant. He'll never see through my disguise and I'll concentrate on something else, so he can't read our minds, said Beem. Good idea, replied Bo. They concentrated and instantly they became two reporters, of average height and weight, both wearing suits. I will be Bob, said Bo and I will be Bill, said Beem. They checked over their clothing, primping and tugging here and there, like a couple of debutantes preparing for the ball. You simply can't find a good tailor anymore, these days, said Bob, alias Bo. No one has any respect for good grooming and the art of fine dressing, replied Bill, alias Beem. They snickered and returned to the den. Bo manufactured a couple of press cards and some I.D. to match, just in case. Everyone was already seated and enjoying their break. Bill and Bob opened the door without knocking and took a couple of steps into the room. Bo sensed that Allen might be reading their thoughts, so he quickly thought about a thunderstorm, hoping to confuse Allen. It was to no avail though, because Allen picked up on their Ehesti "vibes" as soon as they walked in. Everyone looked at Bob and Bill, but didn't say anything. They looked familiar, but not familiar.

Where were you sitting, asked Allen? They shrugged their shoulders. Allen got them two more chairs. He handed the chairs personally to Bob and Bill. Under his breath, he whispered, I know it's you guys. They smiled at him, but did not say anything. Allen is getting pretty sharp in his old age, don't you think Bob? Allen smiled and went back to his place on the other side of the room. Everyone else was still busy finishing the snack that Kirby had so thoughtfully provided for them. Beenan of course recognized Bill and Bob, for who they really were also. He tried to contact them telepathically, but they were blocking it. If everyone is almost through, said Beenan, we can continue any time you are ready. The reporters checked their notes to refresh their memories on the topics discussed. The only female reporter stood up. I have a question?

We understand that you are leaving us tonight, will you come back and if so when? The future is as uncertain for us, as it is for you, replied Beenan. We enjoy your planet, especially the mountain tops, where the air is thin. We will probably be back many times in your lifetime. We won't necessarily make ourselves visible like now. On the other hand, if we get strong signals from Allen or the group to return, we will comply. It all depends on how your future unfolds. There aren't too many days that pass, when there isn't at least one Ehesti on the planet Earth. Now that you know more of our existence and what our habits are, it will also become easier for you to find us.

Many other Ehesti will visit also, both in your forms and in these. The chances are pretty slim, that we will meet all of you again though. If you wish to get in contact with us, you can through Allen, Cliff, Kirby, Kelly, Marie or Sarah. Beenan pointed at each of them, as he spoke their names. If your reason for contacting us is anything more than to renew acquaintances. These people will be able to help you. They all have the power and knowledge that we have, They are not Ehesti in disguise, they are the same people they were, before we came, except for the new knowledge they have acquired, from spending time hooked up to Main Storage on Balenn. If you will check your material on Balenn, you will see that Main Storage is the source of knowledge for the Ehesti. The information that we have in our brains, is now in the brains of these people also. They have the insight to correct all the world's problems, however not everyone will listen to their advice. We are hoping that you will not let them waste away their new knowledge by continuing at their mundane jobs. They should be elevated to a position where you, the people, can make better use of their new knowledge.

Sort of like the Twelve Apostles in the Bible, suggested the reporter? The Apostles never had the abilities we have, replied Cliff. I would not be too sure about that, replied Sarah. In your Christian Bible, said Beenan, Christ was a God. We are not even close to being Gods. We do not possess any greater powers than you do, said Beenan. Your mental blocks and misdirected beliefs stop you from using that power. Again, I'll ask you to check back to one of my earlier interviews, where we discussed this topic earlier. I would like to go even further and suggest you start a committee of people, whose sole purpose is to undo those mental blocks, by just identifying their beginnings and than by applying a psychological remedy of slow recovery. Once your committee digs into this gray area, you will be surprised at what they might turn up. This might be a challenge for one of your "think tanks".

There was another short silence, until the first reporter stood up again. How do we undo these beliefs and straighten things out? Beenan took another pause, before he replied. Once you are able to see how the blocks were put into your conscious minds and the slow process that fortified them, you will have something to work with, to produce a gradual return to your mental state, as it was before the blocks were introduced. We are dealing with a belief pattern that has perpetuated for hundreds of years. It took years to implant these beliefs so firmly in everyone, replied Beenan, so it will take some time to undo. You do not want to eliminate a belief, unless you are sure you can handle the consequences. An example would be drugs. Over the years, your belief in your vulnerability has created ailments, like colds, allergies and headaches. A belief in the curing ability of ASA, acetylsalicylic acid, brings relief from these ailments. Thank heaven for ASA, a belief fortifying statement and proof, my headache is gone, both combine to fortify your belief even more. Suppose you were to realize the placebo effect of ASA. This would take away the fortification necessary for ASA to maintain its power. Simply by being exposed to three or four people, who claim ASA doesn't work for them, will supply you with sufficient doubt about its power to make it unreliable for your use as well. As soon as it seems to fail you once, combined with the doubts you already have, there is generated enough anti-belief to fortify the statements of those who say it doesn't work. Now your ASA doesn't work for you anymore.

You have successfully gotten rid of your need for pills, but if you still get headaches, how will you cure them now? It would be better to let your belief in ASA remain and get rid of the beliefs that you can get headaches in the first place. The two beliefs are interconnected in your mind because of your past use of the drug. You can eliminate the cause of your headaches and still maintain your belief in the drug, so you can use it on other aches and pains. You need to go back to the first headache you can remember having. Try to relive it and ask yourself if you really have this pain, or are you trying to prove something about your vulnerability. Question the reality of that first headache. how do we do this, you ask? First, you realize that it is your belief in your ability to get headaches that allow them to exist. Maintaining that thought, realize also, that there is no need to get a headache ever. You must fortify that thought, every chance you can, with statements like; I never get sick or I never get headaches. I have never been sick a day in my life. Oh ya, says your friend, remember back in January, when you had the flu? That was not the flu. My healthy body was just making a few changes to accommodate some future need. That statement is more correct than it would at first seem. Your subconscious has to take care of your social needs, as well as everything else. If the illness gives you a well earned rest, than it was the need for the rest, or change that created the illness and not the reverse. Each of you has met someone who claims, that they never get sick. If they can maintain their good health indefinitely, than so can you. It is a matter of changing beliefs only.

Start this verbal belief program when you are feeling the healthiest and say the fortifying statements like, "I never get sick" out loud to other people. They still believe in their own ability to get sick, but soon, if you are only in their company when healthy, they will begin to believe you. Having others believe your verbal statements, are proof to yourself that you are indeed what you say. After four or five years of this, you will no longer need as much fortification to maintain your new beliefs, because you will see the logic, which is proof positive, in your belief. The evidence will show that your number of days sick now, compared to the same time before you made the change, will be drastically lower. You can't argue with that kind of physical evidence and that thought will fortify your new belief even more. It will be a logical conclusion to draw.

A logical understanding is the strongest form of belief. Logic and science go hand in hand. A deep rooted belief in science is the part of the fortification necessary to uphold matter and physical properties, as you know them. No matter how strong is the evidence or proof, showing the laws of physics to be deserving of being called "laws", there is always someone somewhere, to prove that wrong. For example, the "law of gravity", holds almost everything that is matter, down, yet some Orientals can defy this, with levitation. Acid burns through nearly everything, yet there are people, who can wash in it, with no harmful effects. These people, with seemingly extra-ordinary gifts, are switches. They are used for turning off the switch of one belief and turning on another. They exist to show us that every one of the laws of physics can be broken by a mere mortal. Therein, lays the proof that even the laws of physics require belief and in some cases mass belief, to become laws. Those who defy gravity, or some other physical property, believe more strongly in themselves, than they do in your physical laws.

These "switch people" are around in every generation. They come to earth specifically for that purpose, of becoming the evidence necessary for you to switch your beliefs. If we decided to believe that gravity affects all matter, except humans, we could use these switch people, that levitate, as proof. From there, we learn to do it. We than teach it to our kids and soon levitation is no more difficult, than balancing on a bike. Until now, these people have fallen into your category called "freaks, weirdoes and oddballs". Their living habits are not like yours. They are the type of people you want to keep your children away from. They are often mistaken for alcoholics, having a somewhat, similar behavior pattern, but most switch people do not drink.

There are switch people everywhere and if you see a lot of people in your daily life, you have already met some of them. They are usually happy people and the things they say to you, are usually related directly to your problem. No "beating around the bush" people. Most of them are not even aware of their abilities to change your beliefs, yet when they leave, you can see more clearly, the alternatives, that are available to you, if you'll change your beliefs. All that is required is a conscious decision to change one of your beliefs and the ball is rolling. Even though your sub-conscious has far more power than you do consciously, it still takes orders from the conscious you, but it will only act on firm commitments, from the conscious self. To firm up a commitment, you talk about it with others, spend money on the idea directly, or indirectly, or perform some physical task, related to the commitment. The more you fortify your intentions verbally or physically, the more your sub-conscious will help to bring about your wishes. Your astral self and your physical self are controlled by  your sub-conscious.

This time-space you are in, contains such a variety of people; from those able to astral travel and control their physical shape, to those who would never even consider that possibility, plus all stages in between. Most of you are at one of the middle stages, still hanging on to beliefs of old, while trying to be open-minded enough to make the changes necessary to adapt to the future. Decide which belief you want to drop, than look for a switch person, who has already succeeded in this. Talk with them about it and use them as the first bit of proof, that what you want to do is possible, than continue fortification verbally, as I mentioned earlier.

Does that answer your question clearly enough, asked Beenan? Yes, more than clearly, replied the reporter. What confuses me is; why did we let ourselves get like this in the first place? It all began when you first created the planet. That statement sounds profound I know, said Beenan, but take my word for it, you all had a part in the creation of this planet and you still do. While you are aware of the activity you perform each day physically and mentally, your astral self is many times busier, both day and night. Your astral activity slows down slightly, while you are awake, because of the "extra load" so to speak, but at night, while you sleep, your astral self is very active and sometimes too active. When it's too active, you wake up still feeling tired, even though you slept a full eight hours.

In the days before civilization, your conscious self was aware of the astral activity and visa versa. Because death was not feared in those days, many things were different. The conscious and subconscious were tied closer than now. You were able to see yourselves before and after death, as well as enjoy the life you were in. There was no real respect for life, whether human or otherwise, because after all, we made the place, so why can't we do as we please, was the thought. Everyone knew that death simply led back to the astral world and on to something else. It became quite a sport to see who could live the longest. Many fierce battles resulted and people were killing one another, at a ridiculous rate.

A group of people were formed, who wanted more. They wanted to live an unthinkable, thirty or forty years, on this planet. How do you accomplish this, when there is no respect for life? The answer was simple. A rule must be made, that everyone had to agree to. You can do as you please on other planets, but on Earth, when you come down to live here, you must give up your memory of life outside of physical life. This new rule would produce all kinds of repercussions. It was not the first time in history that a rule had to be implemented, in order to save the species. Other life forms, on other planets before you, used the same form of control. It took hundreds of your years before a decision was finally made. After much controversy, it was agreed. Now the conscious of every human, would only know of his physical existence. This would lead him to protect it more vigorously and generate the respect for life that would allow him to live thirty or forty years. This worked great. Religions and Science sprang up to help explain the unexplainable. Governments and the law sprang up to help maintain order. Words like "progress and worth", were introduced to give man incentive to keep busy, thus suppressing the foolish thoughts of what might be. Now that we live up to forty years, what are we going to do with all that time, was the next relative question?

Enter "work", money, sports, duty, responsibility, trust, honesty, compassion, accidents, insurance, etc. Now there would be lots to do, in an attempt to handle all the above new ideas. Figuring out where you stand, with all these new ideas, created a new industry in itself, called psychiatry.

We take a huge leap forward to 2007 Now everyone can live almost to one hundred years, if they wish. The world is now becoming over populated. The problems are just the opposite of what they were then. To remedy this, the memory loss that comes with physical birth, of life before and after and astral life, is slowly being returned. It is a slow process that is being watched closely and can be stopped at any time. The plan now is that by the year two thousand and thirty, more than fifty percent of all the children born, will be aware of their entire existence and the time of the "Indigo children" will be upon us. They will have powers seemingly supernatural to those who don't have them. Many of them will disappear for long periods of time, only to return one day, as though nothing had happened. Their need for hardware to travel or do work, will be minimal. Many will fear them. There will be no need to fear them however, because in a way, they are you. The opportunity for anyone to "up-grade" will always be there, in the form of an educational program. Those who choose not to up-grade will put themselves in a position of lesser opportunity, just as the one who refuses to read and write, puts himself in a position of lesser opportunity.

Your next great invention will be the discovery of anti-gravity. Again, many people will seem to develop it at the same time, in different places, all around the world. Many safety problems will have to be dealt with, but it will become as commonplace as a transistor radio eventually. Those of you working on that goal, right now, might want to consider the suggestions I made earlier, about where to find the anti-gravity frequency, said Beenan. Although, you are probably set up to pursue your goal along a well established path right now, you will have far more success, if you set up to search for the gravity frequency. In these meetings I referred to earlier, that you attend when you are asleep, the topic of gravity and anti-gravity is being raised more and more, along with some of the other systems of earth.

Most of the systems on your planet are automatic, so you don't need to do much to maintain stability. The moisture distribution, the growing cycle, the food chain, etc., are some of the automatic systems I refer to. Every system has to form a circle that allows it to exist indefinitely. When anti-gravity is introduced, it also has to be a full circle system. Many repercussions and reactions to this new discovery have to be considered, before it will be given the word to go ahead and implement.

It should not be hard for you to see yourselves with dual or more functions. You decide to play a beautiful song on your guitar. You know it so well, that you are able to carry on an intelligent conversation, at the same time as you play. Which is the real you; the person speaking or the person playing the guitar? The answer is obvious; they are both you, so why can't another part of you be doing something else also? For example," your psychic being involved in creative collective thought, concerning your existence and the existence of all that is around you".

Do you mean that we cause our own accidents, floods, earth quakes, etc, asked the reporter? Because of the way this planet is made, certain changes have to take place, for it to maintain it's stability, replied Beenan. Regional shelves have to shift, creating earth quakes and the gases building up in the core of the earth, have to release by way of volcanoes. Floods, I think, are self-explanatory. All these things can be said to be part of the automatic function of this planet and in that sense, not controlled by you, even though you did have a part in it's creation. You were around long before you became the present physical you, and in that capacity, you were active in the major decisions concerning earth and this solar system. You are also taking an active part now, in the changes that occur during your present physical life span.

Accidents however, occur for various reasons. They are mostly an avenue from which your sub-conscious can take control, when it needs to. It is all based on the false belief that no one would deliberately hurt themselves. Your sub-conscious knows, far better than you, what is good for you in the long run. Your sub-conscious or your astral self does not have the respect for time like you. It is alive and well in all time, where your body only goes on for eighty or so years. When the accident is over and you go on with your life, think of the changes that took place and the people you met, because of those changes. Think of what might have happened, had the accident not occurred. If you are truly honest with yourself about the thoughts you had, just prior to the accident, you will see that you were responsible. If there was any way that you could have prevented the accident, either by deed or by word, than you are responsible by omission. There is usually one statement that everyone uses when the excitement of the accident has passed and almost forgotten. "Everything turned out for the better" or "it could have been a lot worse". So, was it really an accident? When you fall into depression, so deeply that you become suicidal, your accident then serves as an escape from this physical world.

Your work system is set up in such a way, that the only way you can have a real long holiday and still keep your job, is to have an accident. All things considered, there is no such thing as an accident. Because you have a sub-conscious or astral self, it is impossible to have a real accident. Your astral self is always aware of everything concerning you and unless you are in a state of depression, it will always save you. Think what might have happened, had you not hit the brakes when you did, or had you not grabbed your child, before he fell down the stairs. If however, you are in a mental state of despair and bad luck, that depression could be construed by your sub-conscious as being suicidal. When your sub-conscious is sure of your unwillingness to assume a new zest for life, it will help you to die, so beware of those depressed states.

There was another pause of silence. Beenan looked at the time. We have time for one more question before we end this meeting and go for dinner. Already the aroma of food cooking in the kitchen was seeping into the den, activating the saliva glands of those who were hungry. Kirby was still in the den, doing it with his crystal. He would check on it later. The first reporter to stand at the beginning of the interview raised his hand. Go ahead, said Beenan. What about our birth and our death? What part do we play in that? That is a good question to end the meeting on, Beenan replied. Let's start with death first.

First, you must clarify death, as being the ceasing of life producing activity by the body. I use this definition, because true physical death occurs every seven years. After seven years have passed, there is not one cell left in your body that is still alive from seven years ago. Your body changes all it's cells every seven years, so theoretically, you die every seven years. When you sleep, you are not physically dead, but your conscious mind is in the same dormant state, as though it were dead. When you finally do suspend your physical life, you will sense no difference than leaving on an astral trip. The pain of death is no different than the pain of life, with its injuries and so called accidents.

Putting aside the reason for your death, let us look at you after death. You find yourself dead, but not really, because you know you are still there. You are still thinking. The influences of your past physical life are strong, so you tend to linger, trying to hang on a little longer. Your uppermost thoughts of life are still holding you to physical life, so you look for a way to get back there. You can hang around in your astral form, but only others in astral form will know you are there. The only way to really get back is to occupy another physical body. This means another twenty years of childhood and adolescence to live through, so there is quite a gamble there. You make a deal with the psyche of some newlyweds, to occupy the body of their new son or daughter. Before you know it, you are back on earth again. It is too late to do anything about it now, once you are back in the physical. Had you been a little more patient in the astral form, you might have latched onto a better deal or maybe try another life form, in another place. If that is the way you feel, than you will be a miserable child and it wouldn't be fair to the mother, who would blame your unhappiness on her ability to be a good mother.

When your time comes, don't be in such a hurry to get back here. There are thousands of options open to you, if you look around and explore a little. When you are positive you want to come back, than do so and you will be a happy child and a joy to your parents.

Some are not so strongly attached to earth and they wait around for a couple with what seems like a better life style. Some, who want to be cared for all their lives, because nobody cared in their last life, will choose parents who want a handicapped child. Some will choose to come back in a different colored body or to an athletic family. The possibilities are unlimited. Of course, everyone would want to return as the child of a Princess or a wealthy mother. These choices, are harder to get because of the competition. You may have to wait around in the astral world a long time, if you are too fussy, so a compromise is usually made. You come down to parents who are fairly wealthy, in the hopes that you can acquire the wealth yourself, when you become an adult.

You program your own death this way. When you choose a likely couple as parents, you choose high risk people, if you want a short life, and visa versa. So your death is programmed in that way. It is not a directive that cannot be over-ridden, by your conscious will. If you pre-programmed for a short life and you find life far more enjoyable than anticipated, you can over-ride the directive by concentration and physical action, directed towards that end.

As I said earlier, you make an agreement in the astral plane with the mother especially, but usually both parents, to occupy the new body. They need your spirit to give their son or daughter, life and you need a body to come back into, so you both have something to barter. One of your obstacles to overcome, when you do die, is distinguishing between what is real and what is a product of your beliefs. One should stay in the astral plane at least long enough, to make that discovery. You will find the realities of the astral plane confusing to say the least, at first. Everything will seem so real, yet with the slightest of effort, you can make it disappear. All the ogres and devils and frightening situations are a product of your acquired beliefs and can be done away with, by ignoring them, as harmless products of past beliefs. That is the easiest way to handle them. The best way, is to assume that everything related to your past life, is a product of belief, and those things that seem unrelated, existing on their own without your belief, are more real.

No need to get upset so soon after becoming human, said Bill. You chose that fat body, but we don't mind it. It's the Beenan inside, that counts. They turned their attention back to their hosts. Well Kirby, what have you planned for our second last supper, asked Fatso? A fat guy like you should really enjoy this, replied Kirby jokingly; just be patient.

Kirby and Cliff went into the kitchen to prepare. They made most of the meal with their own crystals, but they let it simmer on the stove, to get the aroma in the air. Fatso, Bob and Bill were really into the snacks now. They munched on nuts and candies that were in a tray near the door. Kirby willed the table set and even the candles lit. Allen went over and selected some dinner music. Kelly, Sarah and Marie, were talking among themselves in the den, trying to get used to their friends, Bo, Beem and Beenan, being in bodies like humans. The familiar Ehesti tones were gone from their voices and Bill, Bob and Fatso, seemed like complete strangers. Knowing it was almost chow time, they made their way to the dining room.

Okay you people, etc., said Kirby from the kitchen, the first course is coming. Everyone took their seats at the table. Allen sat down first. This is going to be interesting, said Allen. I've never seen you guys anxious to eat before. I hope you haven't forgotten your table manners? Beenan laughed a jolly laugh as fatso. We'll be as dainty as if we were dining with the queen he said, holding his teacup in the air, with two fingers. It was difficult for Allen to get used to their new human friends, who claimed to be the Ehesti, but he was beginning to see Beenan's character traits coming from fatso. That made him feel more comfortable. The girls also sensed the same familiarity.

When the meal was over, Kirby disposed of the dirty dishes the same way, by making them disappear. He squeezed his crystal once more and the silver tray appeared, filled with goodies and pastry this time too. The coffee urn was steaming and after dinner mints materialized. I had forgotten what a pleasure eating was, said Fatso. I think I will keep this form until I finish eating. I hate to bring it up, but I suppose you will be leaving soon, asked Allen? Yes, replied Fatso, through his food. When we get back to Balenn, we have lots of catching up to do. We will be monitoring your activity from time to time, throughout the upcoming years. We will undoubtedly see you from time to time, in your astral forms, now that you have the crystals. Don't look at this day as an end, but as the beginning of a new friendship, that will span many lifetimes. I still feel sad, knowing you are leaving, said Allen. Me too, said Sarah, looking gloomy.

Will you transpose up to the mountain top with us, asked Bob? Wouldn't miss it, replied Kirby. It will be a nice place to say good-bye. Sure, everyone else nodded. They sat at the table for a few more minutes, until Fatso finished snacking. One last chat in the living room, said Bob inquisitively? Why not, replied Kirby. He squeezed his crystal and all the mess was cleaned up. They arose from the table slowly; their stomachs full and their bodies feeling sluggish. Allen led the parade into the living room. He stopped at the entrance. Everyone's favorite place was still there. Kirby grabbed the snack tray and took it with him. They all sat in their usual places, not knowing how to start this last conversation.

Bob and Bill transposed back into their Ehesti-Sasquatch forms. Beenan hesitated, as he savored his full stomach, but made the change back to Beenan too.

What will you guys do now, asked Cliff? We will return to Balenn for a while I think and than take off on another journey, replied Beenan. What about you? Back to work, as usual, replied Cliff. I like to keep busy and I enjoy my work. I might put some money together, said Kirby. I think I will do that too, said Cliff. Don't forget Internal Revenue, interrupted Kelly. Don't worry. I plan to pay Internal Revenue their share. I shall declare all my income as gambling winnings. Good idea, said Beem, that way no one will question the source of your wealth. Bo got up and walked to the window. It's a nice sunny evening on Mount Robson I'll bet? I am ready if you are, said Sarah. I have lots to do at home tonight.

They grabbed their crystals and instantly, they were back in the meadow on Mount Robson. The wind was blowing at about forty kilometers per hour. The sun was low in the western sky and the view was forever, in all directions. Kelly shivered a little, from the strong wind, although the temperature was twenty degrees Celsius. This will be a good spot for a private rendezvous, if we need one later, suggested Bo. Good idea, replied Beenan. Henceforth, when we refer to the rendezvous, we will be referring to this meadow. Every-one nodded in agreement. Well we might as well say farewell for now here. How about a pass through; said Sarah? They all squeezed their crystals. Their physical shapes became non-physical for a few moments, as they merged together in the pass through. The mingling of molecules was a soothing sensation to all of them. Marie enjoyed the pass through, more than the others. She didn't want it to stop, but Beenan took control and directed the mass of molecules to it's conclusion. They formed the sign for Beenan's family. They emerged back into their own forms. Beenan, Bo and Beem stepped away from them, waved, and they were gone. Allen, Cliff, Kirby, Kelly, Marie and Sarah were left standing there in silence. It's kind of like coming out of the movie theatre, after a spectacular show, said Sarah. Shall we beam on home, she suggested? They squeezed their crystals. "Six to beam up Scotty" said Cliff, as they all faded out of sight.
