The Long, Long Trail Throughout history, labels have been developed for those who won’t leave well enough alone: infidels, mystics, sinners, rebels, revolutionaries, misfits, neurotics, anarchists, adventurers, traitors, explorers, visionaries, researchers—add to the list what you will. Any deviation from the accepted norm engenders risk. All of these individuals have been for the most part aware of the risk. If they were not, ignorance was no excuse. If there was a price to be paid in reaction or effect, they must or should have known about it before they took action. No sad tears for the wounded or the dead in such cases. I know this well, and you may discover it for yourself. So it must be said: the Different Overview you are beginning to consider can be at most only a belief until you begin to test it for validity within your own ongoing experience during your life as an active Human Mind. As small beliefs convert to Knowns, perhaps larger Different Overview beliefs will follow the same path—until you are free. From this point on, the delivery of a personal narrative seems the most convenient and definitive method of explanation. What to me are Knowns can produce only beliefs in you unless you have had or are having similar experiences that demand verification. Let me therefore attempt to tell it “like it is” for me, allowing you to form your own beliefs which experience may in time convert to Knowns. In my personal run, thirty-plus years of out-of-body activity had brought me to a calm state of satisfaction. A cycle has been completed, or so it seemed. My own Different Overview was well in place and eminently rewarding. Or it should have been. I knew where I came from, how I got here and became a human, why I hung around, my final departure schedule, and where I would go when I left. What else could have had any importance? Anything else was mere detail. And there was my INSPEC friend. It was one thing to talk with such mind-consciousness in sessions in a laboratory, as simply a voice speaking through someone physical that you knew well. It was something quite different to encounter one face to face. Either in fun or fact, we had chosen the acronym INSPEC (for Intelligent Species) to identify this energy form, which implied that we Human Minds were something less. But this INSPEC was not the same as those I had previously met. Over the years I had experienced many nonphysical meetings, communication and rapport with those who were obviously very human, those who still possessed a physical body, and otherwise. This INSPEC, however, was different. Our usual meeting place was just past the H Band Noise. The H Band Noise is the peak of uncontrolled thought that emanates from all living forms on Earth, particularly humans. If you consider it as truly all, even in a current time frame, you get a better idea of the magnitude of this disorganized, cacophonous mass of messy energy. The amplitude of each segment of the band is determined by the emotion involved in the thought. Yet our civilization does not even recognize that the H Band exists. My impression is that it contains not only current time thought patterns, but all that ever existed. They are continuous and simultaneous, and it may be that the older radiation is layered over so all one perceives is the current emission. To study it objectively, if one is so foolhardy as to want to do so, all one needs do is move to that state of disassociation just beyond the last vestiges of any direct Earth-related Human Mind activity in the nonphysical There. It appears much like a reflective layer, beyond which the effects diminish rapidly. Passing through it quickly is advisable, just as one would try to work through a screaming, angry mob—for that is what it sounds like, in a multitude of accents and tongues. Now back to my INSPEC friend. Here is an excerpt from one of our earlier meetings when I had phased out of my body and moved to a point just beyond the H Band. I wonder if this being understands how strong his or her light is. Could it be an E.T. (extraterrestrial) after all? You will become accustomed to the light. You have the same radiation to us ... and we are not the extraterrestrials as you mean it. You read what I am thinking? That is true. Just as you can with me. I can? You are doing it now in part, but only the surface part. Yes, you are right. It is certainly not words and sounds ... no air to vibrate ... but simply in the mind ... yes. What you call the core self does remember. You know, I do remember ... I remember you ... the feel of you ... It is good that you do not express fear. We can do much when that barrier is removed. Oh, I have a few fears left ... But they do not rule your perception. For example, why are you not filled with fear at this moment? I don’t know. But I’m not afraid. That’s true. Right at this moment I am here, talking with you in a rational way ... with you, someone who is very familiar to me ... a brightly glowing figure that some people would interpret as a god, an angel, or at the very least some extraterrestrial. Yet we are here talking just like two ordinary people ... except that we are not using words! The difference is the lack of fear. There is so much potential ... Who are you actually? Or maybe I should say, What are you? Now I do have the courage to ask. It is beyond your experience to understand at this time. But you will understand, and very soon. Can we meet again? All you need do is ask for our help. You mean meditating? Saying prayers? The words and rituals are meaningless. It is the thought ... the emotion ... that is the signal. If the proper signal is given, we are able to help. Let me be sure of this. You are not the god ... a god ... but perhaps someone from another planet? No, not from another planet. Are you the one, or one of those who may have created us ... the Earth? No. We are sorry to disappoint you. But we can give you what we have in regard to the creative process. Do you desire it? Why, yes. Yes! This is what we have ... I was filled, almost overcome, with a surge of enormous energy, an immensely powerful vibration of very high frequency. This I knew as a ROTE, short for Related Organized Thought Energy, a sort of ball of condensed thought and ideas. It is so much! I can’t understand it all at once ... You will, when you can examine it at leisure. Thank you. There was a pause before the INSPEC communicated again. You are uncertain as to your progress, your growth. I am uncertain, that’s true. I think I know my goal, my purpose. The uncertainty is what lies in between. What do you perceive as your goal? Well ... I guess ... service to humankind. That is indeed a noble goal. It is the ever-present desire of your human self to attain perfection. When you are no longer human, desire focuses in another direction. But there are other goals. A desire more important? No, I don’t mean that ... a desire different from the human experience? You are doing very well. I often wonder about that. You will find an answer ... Now I perceive you need to return to your physical body. You do read my mind! I don’t know what it is, but I have to go back. How do we meet again? All you need do is hold this moment in your awareness, and I will be here. Thank you. The return to the physical was uneventful. The signal had been generated not by the usual full bladder but by my favorite cat lying on the pillow beside my head. I was sure I had checked the room but somehow she must have sneaked in. In my excitement, I wasn’t in the least irritated.
