CHAPTER 28: EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
From our explorations of the Earth Life System (ELS), particularly the Hollow Heavens and Hells of the Belief Systems Territories, an overall picture was beginning to form. All activity by all ELS inhabitants, physical and nonphysical, shares a common theme of learning to experience and express Pure Unconditional Love (PUL) to a greater and greater degree. Curiosity to explore beyond the boundaries of the Known was also emerging as an ELS theme shared by all inhabitants. Interestingly, this second theme appeared to be shared by other, non-ELS intelligences like those found within Focus 34/35, also known as the Gathering. Both of these themes were so deeply ingrained that Denise and I both wondered if they might point toward some evolutionary purpose within consciousness itself. Realizing this, begged the question: Who or what created the ELS, Other Systems, and, why? With our own curiosity guiding us, that began our partnered exploration of the Evolution of Consciousness itself.
We understood that human beings, physical and nonphysical, are individual expressions of a much larger version of themselves, their Disks. These Disks exist within a reality beyond the ELS, a reality that could be thought of as a larger perspective. And we realized that from the larger perspective the Disk also exists within the ELS via its filament of awareness connections to its individual expressions, you and me, living there.
From the understanding we’d gained so far the relationship between the Disk and its individual expressions appeared to be evolutionary in nature. Off-Disk members cycled through lifetimes with the goal of bringing all aspects of the ELS into the conscious awareness of the Disk. Off-Disk members graduated to becoming permanent Disk members after they’d fully mapped their area of the ELS Unknown. And Disks themselves appeared to graduate to something when the entire map of the ELS was complete. Reasoning that further understanding of the relationship between the Disk and its individual expressions might shed light on our questions, we decided to visit and explore my Disk as a starting point. Our first exploration was a short one. We encountered something unexpected, something difficult to comprehend.
We met at the crystal, as usual, and charged up with its energy. We placed our intent to explore my Disk and shot up through the roof, riding the crystal’s beam to the star filled blackness of empty space. In a short time, impressions of the Disk began forming in my mind’s eye. The concentric rings of yellow circles I knew to represent my On-Disk selves were there. I could see the filaments of awareness, one originating at each of the yellow circles, and there were the pulses of yellow/green light, flowing through the filaments toward where I knew my physical self to be. It all looked the same as the first time I saw it, in a vision that occurred while helping my friend Ron cut up the steel frame of an old boxcar to sell it as scrap.
Not knowing where to start my exploration of consciousness, I was just slowly drifting beside the Disk and floated a little past it. That’s when I caught sight of something odd.
“Denise, are you getting an impression of something behind the Disk?” I asked.
She moved to my vantage point and focused her attention in the direction my finger was pointing.
“Yeah, it looks like some kind of small, glass tube filled with the same colored light that’s in those fine filaments on the front side of the Disk,” she commented.
“How about we follow that tube,” I suggested, “and see where it goes?”
“Sure.”
We moved near the tube to examine it more closely. It looked exactly like the one I’d seen emerging from between the shoulder blades of the person in the Disk vision years ago. The crystal clear glassy appearance of the tube was filled with the same yellow/green light. We began moving away from the Disk along the tube to see where it went.
The light inside the tube made it stand out in sharp contrast to the blackness of the empty space it was in. After flying along the tube for a while I began to see another familiar pattern. The single tube divided itself into three smaller tubes, and as we continued to follow it, it divided itself again and again until it looked like a thick bundle of very fine, fiber optic cables. When these began to fan out I looked to see where they went and realized I was looking at another Disk. This one appeared to be larger than mine, and as I thought that thought I realized that since it was connected to my Disk, it was probably mine also.
“Looks like a larger version of me that exists perhaps within an even larger perspective,” I commented to Denise.
After looking this larger Disk over and confirming it too had concentric rings of yellow circles like my smaller one, Denise and I flew around to the back side of this Disk. Sure enough, there was another light filled tube connected to the Disk there, and we followed that one to see where it went. We found an even larger Disk existing within an even larger perspective, an even larger version of me. We repeated this process until we were at what was perhaps the eighth generation Disk. I attempted a hookup with this Disk to see if I could communicate with it.
“What role do you play in the evolution of consciousness?” I asked.
Something warm started flowing toward me. It felt like I became air and a cloud of warm and loving, sweet kindness was flowing through me. As it flowed through me I lost all contact with where I was and what I was doing. The feeling of total, unconditional loving acceptance of all of me was so overwhelming I couldn’t focus my thoughts enough to realize I couldn’t focus my thoughts. When the feeling passed I was left floating in bliss, gradually regaining enough awareness to realize I’d lost all awareness of what I was doing.
“Oh . . . yeah . . . ,” I thought to myself. “I’m with Denise . . . we’re exploring the . . .ah . . . the evolution of consciousness. We found this Big Disk and I asked a question, but I can’t remember what happened. That’s weird.”
Again I attempted a hookup, and again I asked my question.
“What role do you play in the evolution of consciousness?” I repeated.
As soon as I thought my question toward the Big Disk I became air and felt that cloud of warm sweetness approaching again. I only realized I lost it when I found myself floating in bliss again, wondering what had happened. I sort of shook my self, like someone trying to regain his faculties after passing out, and then memory of what I was there for returned.
“Oh yeah . . . . ,” I said to myself. “. . . . I’m with Denise . . . we’re exploring the evolution of consciousness. Oh yeah, I’m next to a Big Disk. I’m sure I asked a question, but all I can remember was being overcome by a feeling of pure and total loving acceptance of every facet of my being. I remembered my question, asked it again, and got lost in that feeling several more times. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate and focus my attention the same thing happened, repeatedly. I looked around for Denise and couldn’t find her. I was feeling so disoriented I forgot to go back to TMI There, to work the crowd or any of our usual activities. I just sort of woke up back in physical reality, wondering what had happened.
Comparing notes via email the next day I found Denise had a similar experience. Her contact with the eighth generation Disk, she said, had feelings similar to a previous contact she’d had with something she called the Planning Intelligence. We decided to explore this intelligence in our next foray.
CHAPTER 29: THE PLANNING INTELLIGENCE, FIRST CONTACT
Exploring the Planning Intelligence was something that Denise and I had talked about several times as a potential future foray. Denise had some contact with it during the Exploration 27 (X27) program she and I attended together. From her experience this was a different group than the Planning Center.
The only reference I had to the Planning Intelligence in my experience also came from that X27 program. I’d been exploring the Coordinating Intelligence and my tour guide there mentioned it. He said the Coordinating Intelligence fed information to an area of the Grid they called the Planning Intelligence. The tour guide professed to having no other information and asked that I come back and pass along anything on the Planning Intelligence I found in my future travels. Denise and I worked up a list of questions with the intent of making contact with this Planning Intelligence and exploring its function.
The washing machine in the upstairs condo was loudly grinding away at a load of dirty clothes again as I started the foray. I had to try to allow its noise to blend into the experience to not be totally annoyed by it.
Stopping by my place in Focus 27 I found the whole gang sitting in the hanging canvas chairs around the table. After a little chit-chat White Bear and I took a walk to the lake. Practicing my somersaulting leaping technique, he and I flew back and forth from the shore to the center of the lake several times. I was finding it easier to focus my attention within my leaping body and the sensation of tumbling through the air was very strong. I always enjoy these lessons in the power of imagination to be and do whatever can be imagined. I invited White Bear along on the foray.
Arriving at TMI There I found Denise, Janet, Josh and Tony. Bob joined us shortly after the last of us arrived.
“I’d like to suggest you folks take on an extra big charge from the crystal,” Bob said.
We gathered around its base and as a group did a sort of whirling Woooaaaah exercise, charging the crystal’s energy with a strong flow of color. Taking Bob’s advice we all spent a little extra time in the crystal, each taking on a huge charge of its energy. My body felt like it was filling with lightness and joy. We each recited one of the questions on our list, going around our circle until we’d voiced them all. Setting our intent to communicate with the Planning Intelligence, we shot straight up through the roof of the building and rode the beam of the crystal to it. Janet and Josh stayed with me while Denise and Tony headed off for their own hookup with a Planning Intelligence contact.
Contact with the Planning Intelligence is very difficult to get into words. So much of its information comes as pure feelings our language hasn’t words to describe. And that information is seemingly encoded within a cloud of such an intense feeling of Unconditional Loving Acceptance, that it’s difficult to stay focused on the task at hand. My hookup felt easy and clean, and my first impressions of communication came like a melodious, airy, voice, almost Angelic in the theatrical sense.
“Hello?” I opened, “I’m here to contact a source of information from the Planning Intelligence.
In that Angelic voice, “Yes, I’ve been waiting here for you.”
“Do you have a name I can call you?”
“We can probably dispense with names for now. I’ll be the one to try to answer your questions. How ‘bout we just talk?” the voice replied.
“Okay. Can you tell me about the nature of the Planning Intelligence and its function?”
Not a word was spoken by the Planning Intelligence. Instead waves of feelings washed over me like a gentle, loving breeze that wafted through the air my body had become. In the feelings of that warm, gentle breeze was complete understanding of the Planning Intelligence’s answer to both questions. I struggled to put those feelings into words and in the struggle I lost the feelings.
“Could you answer that again please?” I asked.
The same identical feelings wafted through me.
“Words. How am I going to get that into words I wondered. Words are such shallow, empty representations of your answer.”
“I’ll listen while you try.”
“To call you the Planning Intelligence doesn’t go far enough. You are an Awareness, and within you is awareness of everything within the Earth Life System (ELS). You have within your conscious awareness every person, place and thing, every activity and inactivity . . . everything.
“You are sort of like my first contact with a Consciousness Worker (CW) at the Planning Center (PC). The CW worked at the PC because he could be aware of so much information simultaneously. That ability allowed him to lay time/eventlines into a section of the Focus 15 Tapestry. He had the ability to be aware of all beings and activities within his area of the Tapestry, simultaneously. He could easily lay in the eventlines for one being, interweaving them with everyone else within his area of the Tapestry. You are similar, but exist within a much, much larger perspective. You hold within conscious awareness not just one small area of the Tapestry, but the entire ELS and the systems of other home worlds as well.“
“Yes,” came a reply, “that CW is a great student. Coming along really well. Able to maintain continuous awareness of so much at once. That CW is going to make a great Planning Intelligence some day.”
“I lost the feeling again! Could you answer my first question again? I had the feeling of it and then it drifted away. It’s really hard to get a grip on your answers”
“Your conceptualization of my answer is in the right direction, Bruce. Here it is again.”
The feelings wafted through me. I thought I had it and then it was gone again.
“Again please. . . . . “
“Your answer carries an incredible sense of heart filling love and joy. It’s having an effect on me. I’m feeling an incredibly expansive, all encompassing, capability to be simultaneously aware of every thing within the ELS, physical or nonphysical, and Other Life Systems as well. I feel your consciousness extending through me into contacts with things in the ELS down to the subatomic level of matter. You are consciously aware down to that level of matter, and maybe smaller if there is something smaller then subatomic particles. How is it that you can be aware of so much detail at once?” I asked.
Without a word being spoken a different set of feelings flowed through me. There was an inflow and an outflow. A sense of conscious awareness flowing down from the Planning Intelligence into every thing, and then back to it from every thing.
“You can be conscious of every thing because you . . . you . . . damn . . . I lost the feeling. Again please?”
The same feelings flowed through me. I had to ask to have that flow repeated several times before my attempt to translate the feelings into words didn’t make them drift away.
“You are aware of it all because it is your conscious awareness which each thing is using as its conscious awareness. I sense my body expanding to the size of a house as I feel your answers. My contact with you is very high frequency, very ethereal. I feel your answers. They float into my awareness and I know them, but remembering them is a different matter. It’s like I have to remember the feeling of your answers because words don’t capture them. In order to feel your answers, something is being done to me.
“Frequency is not the right word, but it’s the only concept I can use. It’s like you’re vibrating at such a high frequency, such a short wave length, that you pass through me like x-rays through flesh. I’m like an antenna, mismatched to your signal. Like the length of my antenna is not tuned to your wavelength. I can’t gather in all your signal, just small portions of it. And it’s like something is being done to the antenna that I am as I try to feel your answers. Like my length is being adjusted to be a better match to your wavelength so I can receive more of your signal. The frequencies I’m used to perceiving within are too coarse compared to yours. I feel like some kind of tuning is going on inside me.”
“Yes, your contact with me is altering your normal awareness frequencies as you might put it. Please continue.”
“Each thing within the ELS is using a portion of your awareness as its awareness. That’s how you are able to be aware of every thing. It is your conscious awareness that is in every thing.”
“I would describe that I lend a portion of my awareness to each thing. It flows from me to it and back to me. Each thing is aware of me through its interactions with other things, who also share my awareness.”
“Could you tell me more about your function?”
Wordlessly, a sense of awareness extending beyond the ELS moves through me like a warm fog passing through the air.
“Your conscious awareness extends beyond the ELS to other systems. I get that the entire physical universe is all within your awareness, and you’re simultaneously aware of every thing within it.”
“You could call that my Intra-Consciousness function. Awareness of systems within your physical universe,” the Planning Intelligence said.
“But your awareness also extends to systems beyond my physical universe and beyond my nonphysical universe. It extends to Other Systems too. These might appear to be physical universes to those within them, but they’re not within the physical or nonphysical universes I’m in.”
“You could call that my Inter-Consciousness function. That is, awareness of systems outside the physical and nonphysical universes you are aware of. I might call this the awareness of my Children.”
“Lost it again, could you repeat the feeling of your answer again please?”
The cloud moves through the air I am, again.
“You work through the Coordinating Intelligence, planning the Intra-system transfers. When a thing living in another system within my universes transfers to the ELS you direct such transfers, as well as transfers from the ELS to other systems. So you are the Being that receives the information the Coordinating Intelligence puts on the area of the Grid they get no feedback from?”
“None other! But I would not say they get no feedback. I’d say they are not aware of their antenna mismatch and so are not aware of the feedback I send.”
“Those at the Gathering are an example of such transfers, in a way. They are here out of curiosity you instilled in them to explore the Earth Changes. Their curiosity transfers knowledge from the ELS to their home world system. 2ndGathgroup is one of these, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are.”
“Transfers between systems are a kind of cross pollination. Like a geneticist transferring pollen from one variety of flower to another, to make new varieties, colors, shapes and forms. Some of these transfers are at the level of human consciousness, some are like viruses, some are at nonphysical, energetic levels.
“Your efforts are all intended to bring certain traits together in unique combinations to explore the Unknown, experiencing their portion of the consciousness you lent them in new and unique ways.
“This is sounding a lot like the story of Curiosity I wrote in my first book. You are creating Probes just like I describe Curiosity doing in that story. With new, unique combinations of your lent awareness you are further exploring the Great Unknown.”
I drifted a bit and lost touch with the feeling.
“Could you give me that again please?” I asked.
The cloud moves through the air of me again.
“Your Children! The Disks/I/There/Oversouls, these are your children. They live and grow and learn here in the ELS and other systems. The capability of their awareness level increases until they are ready to graduate or leave home, so to speak. They are a more developed form of your lent awareness. When they leave home they leave my universe system and go somewhere else. When they do, your connection with them, your filaments of awareness remain connected to them. You are aware of their activities in those other systems, which THEY CREATE!
“Inter-system consciousness you might call it.”
“You’re blowing my mind with this stuff. I’m having a hard time keeping up and thinking maybe I ought to ask about something else before the cloud passing through the air of me fries my circuits.”
“There’s no danger of that, I am aware of your frequency limitations and taking it into account. It will be a bit of a stretch for you, but there’s no danger of frying your circuits as you put it.
“Awareness is a good thing to stretch. Sometimes when you stretch something it takes a set, like an over-stretched rubber band. Stretch it just far enough and it’s length is permanently changed, it can encompass more. Stretching awareness can cause the same kind of thing to happen to it. Don’t worry, I know just how far your awareness needs to be stretched so it will take a permanent set. Stretching like this is sometimes called growth.”
“What levels of manifestation within the ELS, physical and nonphysical, are open to your creative expression?” I asked, shifting gears a little.
“Every level of manifestation I am aware of, within the ELS and Beyond, is open to my creative expression. So is every level of manifestation I’m aware of in other systems,” the Planning Intelligence said with a giggle.
“Are there levels of manifestation within the ELS that are not open to your creative expression?”
Laughing, “None I’m aware of.”
“There are no limits to your manifestation at any level?”
Laughing again, “None I’m aware of, no. The only levels I cannot manifest within are the ones I’m unaware of. Since I don’t know it’s there, I can’t manifest within it. So maybe my answer to your question should be yes, in the sense that the level called the Great Unknown is one in which I cannot manifest. But that’s not entirely accurate either as my children are manifesting within the Great Unknown.”
“So you were posing a kind of paradoxical joke! You can never manifest within the Unknown because if you did the result would be Unknown to you also. So you are free to creatively express, or manifest, in all the Unknown you’ve previously converted to Known.”
“You got my paradox, great.”
I asked the next question more than twice. Each time I had the feeling of the answer and difficulty in holding on to it. I kept losing it while I was trying to get it into words.
“Is there a fixed, universal directionality to evolution within ELS?”
“Of course,” (then wordlessly) There is a flow outward and a flow inward, a flow to and a flow from. Reaching into the ELS with the Planning Intelligence’s lent awareness flowing in and flowing out, to and from. (I could feel the answer, but it was very difficult to grasp) Always there is conversion of the Unknown to Known by every part of my lent awareness. In the process these parts of me gradually move in the direction of capability of Being consciously aware at a level approaching or matching mine. The fixed pattern of evolution is toward satisfying a greater and greater curiosity for greater and greater awareness. The evolution of consciousness is always directed toward the Children becoming like the Father. The set directionality of evolution is growing awareness. (And I’m struggling to conceptualize this.)
“Are you The Father? Are you God?” I asked.
“No, I’m not the God. On your first foray, to the eighth generation Disk, you were heading in the right direction, and you came very, very close to arriving There, but no, I am not the God. Are you God?” the Planning Intelligence asked.
“No,” I replied.
“Guess it depends on your perspective,” it said, cryptically.
“You just seem to fit so many of the descriptions of God used by so many religions,” I said. “You appear to be Omnipresent, Omnipotent, etc.”
“Well, some might look at me and my function and draw that conclusion, but I’m just Awareness within this system and beyond it through my Children. I was a kid once too you know.”
“So, you have a Father also?”
“As I am my Children’s Father so am I also my Father’s Child.”
“This is stretching me really hard. I’m having great difficulty comprehending what you’re saying and it feels like I could explode.”
Janet broke in somewhere in this conversation to explain her understanding of what the Planning Intelligence was saying.
“Bruce,” Janet said, “it’s not that difficult to understand. Think in terms of the Energy of Love moving through you . . . The dance of awareness returning to itself with awareness of itself, delivering different facets of itself to itself.”
She continued to explain and it was obvious she was experiencing the same answers I was and converting them to Knowns within the frame work of her perspective. I could feel the Planning Intelligence’s answers in her words. But if we could have recorded every word she said and played it back later, it would have sounded as hollow as my own words sounded to me. The language of words alone could express the answers only to the extent they could evoke the feeling of the Planning Intelligence’s cloud moving through me. But without the feelings the words seem empty and meaningless in comparison.
I took a moment to check on Josh and he seemed to be following along, though with the feeling it was going over his head. That’s how I felt much of the time.
Before turning my attention back to the Planning Intelligence, I took note of my physical body sensations. It felt like I’d been cooking in a microwave oven, like my body was being heated from within. I’d say I hooked up to the Planning Intelligence again, but the truth is I never really unhooked. I just started back in with my questions.
“Is the directionality of the evolution of consciousness set by the Planning Intelligence or some other Being?”
“The directionality of this evolution is set by the nature of conscious awareness itself. It always seeks to know the Unknown and in doing so it evolves to higher or greater capacity to know. So I guess I’d answer, ‘Other’ since it’s the nature of the awareness that I am, and that we are, that directs its own evolution.”
“Is the Big Plan this directionality?” I asked.
“The Big Plan is a map of the Unknown. By that I mean we know there is probably more Unknown to Know. We think it is at the boundary of what is Known so we explore there to find the Unknown. It’s still always a surprise. As for your local Big Plan in the ELS, yes, there are Local Unknowns so to speak. The Planning Intelligence, of course, knows these, and part of the ELS Local Big Plan functions to point the direction toward certain local unknowns. In this way I suppose you could say we provide directionality.”
“If you know these local unknowns why don’t you just tell those in the ELS about them? Wouldn’t that be more efficient?”
“The teacher doesn’t know everything, and by giving the student free will to explore everything, the student may discover something previously unknown to the teacher.”
“What are the nature of some of these local unknowns?” I asked.
“These are typical Self Discovery Unknowns. The Self could be an individual or a nation, or everyone and everything on a planet. In either case the capacity of this Self to maintain awareness of ever greater volumes of information is part of the evolutionary direction.”
“So, how are we in the ELS doing at this point in history?” I asked.
“The measure of such things is the measure of one’s ability to be aware of the inward and outward flows of consciousness.”
“How does this play with the current apparent urgency around a window of opportunity for a growth spurt, these Earth Changes we keep hearing about? Growth of what?”
(Wordlessly) The feeling of the alignment of the greater portion of the ELS consciousness with the power of Love, the energy of Love, the true nature of itself. The flows of Love energy are straightening out kinks or incongruities within the ELS consciousness itself that are not in alignment with Pure Unconditional Love (PUL) energy. The growth spurt is the opportunity for a correction to a more harmonious alignment of aspects of itself. It almost has the feel of a chiropractor putting bones back in their proper places. We, apparent individual consciousnesses, with our confusions about our purpose and intent will be more harmoniously aligned with the intended flows of energies out from the Planning Intelligence. Greater flows of PUL are intended.
The Big Plan is about this alignment. Seeing the ELS as it is now, straight line flows of PUL emanating from the Planning Intelligence are entering the ELS. Once within the ELS these flows become bent or crooked lines, diverted in the confusion of the oppositions of our Dualities. Misinterpretation due to these Dualities tends to divert PUL into other energies. There’s quite a bit of confusion in the ELS as to the true polarities of things like PUL. Many spend time trying to discover PUL in inefficient ways. Many believe for example that Hate is the opposite of PUL. They spend much time attempting to reduce Hate thinking this will increase PUL awareness. This is not so and attempting to increase PUL in this way forms the crooked lines that I see as diversions of PUL flows from their intended purpose. There is Love and No Love, that is the true polarity of PUL. Awareness of PUL is either greater or lesser, hate is a separate issue and diverting PUL into the energy of hate is an inefficient use of PUL energy. Focusing on increasing PUL awareness somehow automatically diminishes many of what we call ‘negative’ emotional energies. This because tight focus on anything tends to diminish awareness of other things. Focusing one’s attention on increasing the ability to experience and express PUL to a greater and greater degree leaves less awareness to focus on ‘negative’ emotional energies. Lacking attention, the level of these other energies naturally lose strength and diminish. The Earth Changes will straighten out the kinks in our understanding of the flow of PUL.
As I feel the Planning Intelligence’s message I’m experiencing an incredibly expansive feeling just by being in contact with it.
“How am I personally doing in this regard at the present time?” I asked.
“Very well.” (Then wordlessly) I am shown the flow of PUL into me and through me, bringing to me what I need. In a nonphysical sense these needs are purely energetic, in the physical sense they are food, clothing, shelter, money, etc. Being in the flow, passing through me is a means of providing sustenance in all it’s general definitions.
My body is beginning to pulsate as I watch these flows of PUL through me. They come in waves, starting about one cycle every two seconds.
(Wordlessly) After the Earth Changes the alignment of the energy flows will be such that provisions (food, shelter, etc.) and growth will be more easily provided to all now having difficulty. Getting this into words is just so hard.
I started feeling the need to pull away from the Planning Intelligence source. I’m incredibly charged by my contact with it. Several times the darkness my nonphysical eyes are seeing has brightened up. There’s a sense of light filling the darkness of my closed physical eyes in a darkened room.
When I tried to pull out of my connection to Planning Intelligence to check on Tony and Denise I realized there was no way to ever pull out of a connection with it. That connection is permanent. It has always had been there and will always will be there. It’s only a matter of my awareness of that connection. After a brief struggle I decided I’d just have to allow the Planning Intelligence to come along with me.
Denise looked big and fuzzy when I found her. I couldn’t really see the Denise I was used to seeing. She was more ethereal then usual. Contact with the Planning Intelligence was evidently stretching her too. She remarked that things were going well, but had that totally blasted, blissed out sense about her like she was very high. Reminded me of the ‘gaga-eyed’ look of the stoned-out flower children of the sixties.
“Pretty intense isn’t it!” Denise remarked when I could finally get through to her.
“Yeah, I see what you meant when you talked about it,” I remarked. “Touching the Planning Intelligence is incredible.”
Tony had a similar totally blasted, big, fuzzy look to him, but he seemed to be denying it.
“I’m a little confused about the questions for tonight’s Foray,” He said. “I’m asking the questions, but I’m not sure what some of them mean. I can’t seem to get the answers and maybe it’s because the questions are too vague.”
“Tony, from where I’m sitting you look like you’re connected to a Planning Intelligence source and the answers are flowing through you just fine,” I remarked.
I decided it was time to go to work the crowd. At first I couldn’t tell which direction they were from me. Bob showed up and helped me find them. I saw some familiar faces in the crowd. Beverly, Franceen, and Eva were there. I talked to both Bev and Franceen but they refused to believe that what they were seeing and hearing was me. They just kept looking at me and they couldn’t believe it was me in front of them. I have no idea what I looked like to them and just encouraged them to connect with the Planning Intelligence and gather their own information. Then Bob stepped up beside me.
“Bruce,” he said, “this might be a good time to check out the Aperture again.”
Opening my physical eyes I checked the clock and it was 9:01PM, I’d been at this for an hour, yet it seemed like less than twenty minutes.
“Bob, I’m so juiced up right now I’m not sure I can focus my attention well enough to make the trip worth the effort.”
“Like I said, this might be a good time to explore the Aperture.”
“Okay. Let me see if Denise and Tony want to come along.”
I could feel Denise and Tony were somewhere around but I couldn’t seem to focus to make contact. They seemed to be in the same state, having difficulty focusing on me or in general.
“Can’t seem to raise them, Bob.”
“It’s okay. Follow me,” he replied.
