.AndBar Stool, whom Lor Lu had brought with him for no stated reason.Dove stood before the window, watching them enter.Through sunglasses, as ifsomething was wrong with his eyes.At his nod, the lights were slowly dimmedtill they were out, and while they dimmed, he removed the sunglasses.Finallythe room was lit solely by a slender moon.The tiny red lights of elevatedcamcorders glinted in the upper rear corners.He glows in the dark, Bar Stool thought, like he's got a colored mist of lightaround him.He'd seen Dove before in the near dark, but never seen him glow."Good evening," Ngunda said."I have important news to share with you.Myministry is over.I have done my part, prepared the way, and my departure isvery near.Though it looks essentially the same, my body has been changing.You may beable to see its energy field now.It has been preparing itself to receive theInfinite Soul, at which point it will need to accommodate new spiritual andbiological energies."That's why I've been so reclusive these past several days." He laughed."Inthe process I've caught and surpassed even Lor Lu, our resident bodhisatva, inpsychic perceptiveness."When the Assumption occurs, I myself will vacate, and move to the astralplane.And I wanted to see you, say goodbye to you, while I am still wearing thisbody, this good friend of mine and yours."His gaze took in his audience."All of you are dear to me," he told them, "andhave important roles to play after mine is over roles you are well preparedfor.The thingsI'll tell you here will not surprise you.You've heard or read them before, orknown them intuitively.But repeating them under these circumstances will makethem more powerful.As I am now more powerful."He paused."I do not fully know what it will be like for you, when this bodyis occupied by the Infinite Soul.But you will feel a potent difference.Youwill know it is not me.It may or may not take some getting used to, but theavatar will be the personification of love.In fact, it will have a greaterPage 157 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlimpact on you than on most others."He saw his audience clearly, despite the darkness and the tears.The tears hefelt and saw were not of grief or loss, but joy, an emotion not alwaysrespected in the world of humans."Many people," he said, "will consciously accept the avatar for what it is.Others will first know, then reject what they know; to them, only the physicalis real.They will fully accept only after a powerful and traumatic physicalevent, a concurrence that can hardly be explained as coincidental.For the Taowill also manifest as a major geophysical event at the time of the avatar'sdeath, or immediately afterward."For this body standing before you will die.It will be murdered, and themanner of its death will make the reality more dramatic, more compelling."Ngunda chuckled."When I've been asked if I am the Messiah-to-be, I haveneither admitted nor denied it.Perhaps the avatar itself will not, but itwill be apparent.At some level, conscious or subliminal, it will be clear toeven the most resistive."Even then a percentage will deny it, because they will be deeply frightened.And the backwash of that fear will manifest as violence.A violence mostlybrief, but you will need to protect yourselves for a while.Some of you knowthe preparations made for that."And now about your task to come." Again he paused, literally feeling theirattention."After the geophysical event, new religious sects will arise.Some will hewrather closely to my teachings, and to those of other deeply inspired sourceswhose teachings are, or will be, basically consistent with my own.Othersects, particularly religions already established, will deviate to substantialdegrees, or will preach doctrines resembling my teachings only superficially."He paused for several seconds, to underline what would follow."It is important.important.important to realize that each of thoseteachings will have its own validity.Each will have its own validity for its adherents.There are still hundreds of millions of infant and fledgling souls literallyunable to grasp or accept what I have taught.But they will believe.They will believe in the visitationthe avatar, messiah, mahdi, Maitreya.whatever they term it.They willbelieve more fervently than many young souls and create or accept doctrinesquite foreign to my teaching.And."Once more he paused for emphasis."And at their level of evolution, they willbenefit from those doctrines."Young souls will also create their own doctrines, from which they willbenefit, and these will be more or less accepted by billions.While thedoctrines created and accepted by the billions of mature souls, and the manymillions of old souls, will differ from my teachings in diverse but relativelyminor ways.All this is inevitable, in accordance with the Tao."Again Ngunda paused."Now about you.When the Infinite Soul assumes this body, you will findyourselves more powerful than ever.Spiritually powerful.You will know with afullness of knowing rare among humans.Yet even your knowing will be limited,as mine is, and that is not a flaw, nor a thing to regret, for it will be morethan enough.You will retain your humanity, yet excel in spiritual love,honesty, and wisdom.You will have the power to heal bodies, minds, and souls.In some respects, you will be more powerful than I have been."And your role will be to teach what I have taught to do what you have learnedto do without creating a church or orthodoxy.Page 158 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlWithout creating a church or orthodoxy.Do not, do not, do not criticize the doctrines others will propagate.Simplyteach, heal, and be spiritual examples."* * *Watching, listening, Bar Stool became aware that he was no longer inside hisbody, nor outside it as he'd occasionally been.Rather he contained his body,instead of the other way around.He felt himself expanding, contacting andinteracting with the souls of those around him.He felt their feelings withhis own, in a chorale of love.Heard Ngunda Aran's words, and beyond the words, felt the concepts flow intohim, into all of them.When Dove was done, they stood silent and motionless for an uncertain periodseconds or minutes while the feeling, the spell, the powerful, indescribablesense of spiritual oneness faded.Never to be forgotten.Leaving not a senseof loss, but a rich residue of strength, love, and unity.Again Ngunda chuckled."I suggest you all go to bed now, and get a goodnight's sleep.What you've experienced here this evening is marvelous forsouls, but it needs to be assimilated quietly." Again he chuckled."Indreamland."He was answered by grins and chuckles.Someone opened the door, and theattendees began to flow out into the corridor, leaving Dove behind.It was LorLu who stood at the door smiling and nodding to them as they departed.WhenBar Stool came to him, they shook hands, then embraced."That was quite agoodbye," Bar Stool said.He was grinning broadly.Lor Lu laughed aloud."Yes, it was, and it's not over yet.Go to bed.You'llhave dreams like none you've ever had before."Back Next|Contents61Night DreamsLee popped out of sleep and sat up in bed.She'd been dreaming a dream thathad both thrilled and frightened her, then slipped away at the moment ofwakening.Briefly she tried to get it back, examine it, but it was gone, like airsqueezed in a fist.She looked around.Ben was not in bed, and it was still dark.The clock read01:03.Sitting up, she swung her feet out, and with them located her slippers.Shefound Ben in the kitchen; he'd turned on the beverage machine
