Jandoo muttered next to me, “Look at her, hunched over that little black
book, scribbling away. What does she think? That she mustn't miss
recording a single nugget of thought, as though she may upon review,
discover that she unknowingly recorded brilliance in her very own little
book?”
I, his fellow observer in an airborne craft well out of view of the woman
being discussed, snorted briefly and replied. “Yes, it is peculiar. She is one
of those who is drawn more inward, as they say. And yet, why else would
she have shown up on our scanner? There is something more here, I
daresay. Best continue for now to see what correlation we may discover
between her light and her outward appearance."
“Yes, Darmus, of course”. Jandoo pressed a sequence of areas on his panel
of the interface, refining filters that then changed the display screen ahead
just above eye level. This allowed us to see that the woman, a curly, brown-
haired caucasian type with glasses, was indeed possessed of an unusually
strong light, emanating we now can specify, from the area that humans
most closely associate with the heart. This was already felt in our shared
neural network of central knowing, however the visual display serves as a
sort of objective corroboration, free of any individual bias or filter that we
may have even despite our use of telepathy as our primary mode of
communication. The depth and reciprocity that we enjoy in our exchanges,
although allowing us to perceive things such as one human’s particular
light vibration, doesn’t extend itself to ultimate knowing, rather alignment
and persuasion.
While my crew member further studies the woman’s etheric field using the
technology of the ship, I sit back on one of the two raised and cushioned
daises in this small observation terminal. Folding my long, slender legs in
closer to my form, I close my physical eyes and open my inner one. Almost
instantly, my focus is drawn into her immediate vicinity. My astral body is
now in the same room of her tiny home with her but she does not perceive
my presence. The intention is to observe only at this point as we gather
more details about her life and level of awareness that may offer clues as to
why she houses such brilliance of light within her being. Later, I can choose
to peer in a little more closely if I wish but I will need to blend our energies
carefully without infringing on her will or disturbing her in any way.
I gather now her name is Ana, this is clear as are other details of her life,
what is called the makeup of such. Her age, her family, her place of
employment, hobbies, food preferences...all of these and many
more nuances unfold like a bloom of understanding.
At this moment, Ana is recording into the little soft-bound black
book the excitement of a research grant for $20,000 she was recently
awarded. Later, I will download all of the data I’ve collected from this trip
into our storage to be added to the composite that is shaping up nicely,
thanks to Jandoo’s quick and agile extrapolations with the energy interface.
Petite in form, her face is overshadowed by the large glasses that house
lenses for a rather strong prescription and the shoulder length hair that is a
riot of curls and frizz. The ambiance in the room at the moment is very still,
as though she has been sitting quietly for some time while she writes in the
book. I sense that she is utterly absorbed in this task and has not looked up
in a long while. It is comfortable here in her presence, so unlike many of
the other humans who occupy this planet. Her energy radiates outward and
fills up the room, so to speak. I enjoy this part of my mission, the moments
when I can subjectively appreciate our human brothers and sisters.
Ana lifts her head suddenly from her book, shaking the hair back
from her face to peer towards the bay window, in my direction .
Mouth dropping open in consternation at my appearance in her office, I in
turn close my inner seeing eye to return at once to my physical
body aboard the ship, many miles above her in the sky.
