Chapter 83-The search for Debra

  This is Dan Sherman signing in. I am somewhat worried. Debra has not shown herself as Sionn said. I expected her soon after we came out of debrief, but she did not appear. Reeas and I went for our special holiday which was delightful, but now I am concerned that something bad has happened. Sionn says he is confused, as Debra told him that she was alright and that she would come straight back to me. Reeas is also not aware that Debra has been taken somewhere. Students will know that Debra is a part of me. She is also a big part of the Guardian-Network. Sionn and Grenwer are also worried that the database will be at risk. I can't understand how she can simply disappear. Is it me who has changed? Reeas says it is not me that is at fault. I am not so convinced. Maybe I should contact Mannus? Sionn wants me to meditate to a lower region to see if she can relate to it. Maybe she was overcome by the higher light content on the mental plane? Whatever it is, I have to find her. I am a Guardian, but without Debra I am sorely limited. I was now being messaged by Sionn to come to the briefing room; I arrived to find Grenwer, Reeas, and Deria's 1 and 2 there.

  'Dan,' said Sionn, 'we have a problem. Debra has been located on one of the astral levels. She has tried to merge with Debra your ex-girlfriend.'

  'Why didn't I know that?'

  'You would have eventually. On the face of it, it is only a small problem because Debra number one is not in a state of consciousness to cause problems to the network. The thing is she may be given access to the light book through Debra number two.'

  'Surely not,' I said.

  'Dan, I think Debra number two has gained knowledge of the actual emotional or Ethereal Light from the higher mental plane. If she has, I dread to think what might happen. I want you and Reeas to go there and find out what you can. You will have to treat this as a delicate emotional problem. I know you will be caring enough to bring Debra back. I, myself, would have big worries with it, so I will leave it to you, and Reeas. Just know that I am here for you. Deria's 1 and 2 will go under cloaking mode to access things. I have to say one thing, though. (Sionn was now looking at me with a worried look.) It may have been my fault that Debra has come to this stage. I didn't mean to fragment her so much with myself and Reeas. If things become worse, I will accept responsibility and resign my position as Higher-Coordinator.'

  'Sionn, I don't blame you, I know you did your best to bring the Brain to submit. Please be assured that I will bring Debra back, I know in my heart that things will be OK.'

  Sionn was now looking his usual calm self. He even had a smile on his face! Reeas and I went to the restroom to meditate and generally attune ourselves to the emotional level, or light content of the astral plane.

  Students can help at this time. If you are in a loving relationship with someone and that someone wants help please do as we do here. Sit down in the cross legged position facing each other and place your arms on the other's shoulders. If you are alone just sit in the lotus position and meditate. Imagine someone you love sitting facing you and you will contact them. Be assured. Do not think negative about these things as your thoughts are very important. Now, imagine you are travelling with Reeas and I to the 25th level of the astral plane, time doesn't matter on the inner planes so you can actually be there, but you will have to reach the database first. Sorry if I am going on a bit, but I need all the emotional help I can get. Reeas and I were now in meditation.

  Reeas suggested we go to my Room-of-Doors. I asked her why. She said she wanted me to go to the actual time when Debra got killed in her boyfriend's car. I said, 'Reeas, please, no.'

  'Dan, Debra has got some information from Debra 1 that you are still attached to her; this is why she is trying to merge with her.'

  We became aware in my Room-of-Doors. All we had to do was walk through the second to last door. We emerged into an unfamiliar scene. The city was Chicago and it was obviously the place where Debra had moved to after leaving Iowa. The year was 1940. Debra was sixteen. Her boyfriend was eighteen. I was just fifteen. I could see Debra sitting in the car, it was a 1936 Buick. Her boyfriend said, 'What's the paper you're holding?'

  Debra said, 'Nothing, It's only a note from a friend.' I could see it was the little love note that I posted through Debra's window one night just before she left. I had forgotten it until now. How could that happen? I was starting to become confused. Reeas said, 'Dan, don't be nervous, it is for your protection. Just try to relax and you will see.'

  Her boyfriend said, 'Let me see it.' Debra said, 'No, it is my property.'

  Her boyfriend said, 'It's from that stupid kid.'

  Debra said, 'Don't call him; he is a true friend and someone who wants to marry me when we are older. I am going to send him a letter when I get home. I like you, Dave, but you drink too much and smoke a lot.'

  'What can the kid do? Can he drive his own car? Does he have any money?'

  'He will love me forever. That is all I want.'

  'He will have to catch us first, honey. Now I will show you how to drive a car. You will be my girlfriend or no ones.'

  I said to Reeas, 'That's enough.'

  We were now going to travel to the 25th level of the astral plane to seek out Debra's 1 and 2; this is the level which Debra 1 has been allocated. We arrived at a house which although it was in good condition needed some repairs. It was a suburb of Chicago. We walked in under cloaking mode. Debra 1 was seated on the couch; Debra 2 was seated next to her holding her hand. This is how the conversation went:

  'Debra,' said Debra 2. I want you to come with me to the Guardian-Database. I will show you something that will help you to move on from here, it will also let you join me in gaining access to Dan Sherman. He is what we both want, isn't he?'

  'I don't really know Dan Sherman. I know a John Summers who wanted to be my boyfriend. But that was a long time ago. He was only fifteen when we moved away. God, I wish he were back with me. I haven't really found a true friend since. I can remember I met Dan Sherman once for some reason but I can't recall more than that. If this Dan wants to contact me, then he will. But all I want is John.'

  'Debra, I don't want to hurt you, but I must have your cooperation. You are the original Debra, so I have to merge with you. I will then be part of you also. Dan says I am part of him but I know I am only a small part. If you become part of me then Dan will also be more in tune with us.'

  I was now becoming concerned. I had to take a chance on revealing myself. For students:

  I can't really relate to this situation. Debra 2 is supposed to be part of me but she is acting as though she is something apart from me. Mannus himself said that we couldn't be parted. How is it that my consciousness is threatening someone that I love?

  Reeas said she would stay under cloaking mode unless she was needed. I became visible to both Debra's. They both looked at me with amazement.

  'What are you doing Debra?' I said looking at Debra 2.

  'I am trying to get this Debra to understand that I must merge with her.'

  'Why?'

  'Because I want to be more like her, you love Reeas but you never said that you love me in the same way.'

  'Is that why you have away from me?'

  'Yes, I want you to appreciate me for myself.'

  'Debra, come here. I held her for some minutes. 'I want you to know that I more than appreciate you. I love you because you are part of me. Can you understand that? We cannot be parted. Maybe you got confused when Sionn managed to split you between himself and Reeas. I don't know. I only know that you are loved very much. You will always be here. I touched my heart.

  Debra looked at me with a smile. She then looked at Debra 1 and smiled again.

  'I am sorry, please forgive me. She said.'

  She then disappeared. I turned to Debra 1. She said, 'You are John, aren't you?'

  'Yes, I am.' Debra started to cry. I sat down next to her and put my arm around her shoulder. She said, I remember meeting you before but I was confused.'

  'It's alright
, Debra, don't worry, you have managed to overcome your loneliness. I am being told to take you to the next level. You are to move on.'

  I transformed myself into John Summers. Debra was amazed. She was starting to understand what reincarnation was about. We simply walked through a golden door which appeared in a suffusion of light. I could see her parents waiting for her. I couldn't help the tears. She was now able to relate to circumstances which she was held back from before. Students will probably think that this simple ceremony is not worth recording, but I have to say, it is one of the most inspiring events to take part in. We all have to move on, and the more we understand about it the higher we are able to go. I kissed her and told her that I would keep in touch. I then walked back through the door. Reeas was now visible and had tears in her eyes. I held her as we transferred ourselves back to the sub base.

  Reeas said, 'You are very handsome, John, and the uniform is totally captivating.' I forgot to tell students that I escorted Debra through the portal dressed in my best U.S. Marines dress suit. Students will know that John Summers died on the beaches of Normandy in the Second World War.

  'Reeas, I am feeling totally reinvigorated. Before I change back to Dan I want you to dance with me. I want us to do the boogie-woogie. I tried to do it once but I got in a tangle. But now I can do it. What do you say? Are you up for the jive?'

  'Just try and stop me, soldier boy.'

  'Marine!'

  I was feeling pretty good as we bopped around the sub base. Deria and her sister joined in plus others. This was one of the best moments of my career as a Guardian. It is a simple thing, I know, but simple things are usually the best. Sionn was now visible in the room. I could see he wanted to talk to me so we finished dancing and everyone clapped. I was now back to my Dan Sherman self. Sionn raised his arms to hush the crowd.

  'I want to thank Dan from all of us for bringing Debra back. The situation with Debra 1 could have been serious. Also the incident with the so called Brain could have been catastrophic. I accept responsibility for this. I wanted to bring stability to the Guardian-Network, but I nearly brought ruin. I am going into silence for a time. Grenwer will take over as Higher-Coordinator while I am gone. He is more than capable. Dan, I have to say something to you. I should have trusted you more. You were capable of defeating the Brain by your chanting. I only had to touch him to neutralize his power; but you had already done the same thing. Debra was only needed in a small way to nullify that power. What I am trying to say is you are capable of completing any job for the network with Debra or without Debra! I proved that she can be split from you, but you still managed to access the power!'

  'But the Brain was about to touch me when you touched him!'

  'Yes, but that was only a formality. He would have started to burn up within a short time. His robots are also fused and useless, but they can be brought back if need be. What I am saying is Debra is now submitting to your will. She is no longer the threat that she was. She would have appeared at once when I said a short time ago that you are capable of completing any job with or without her. You know I am right. Today is the start of a new era for us. I am now formally asking you to accept the rank of Higher-Guardian.'

  'It is only a short time ago that I became a Guardian.'

  'Time is of no consequence on the inner planes. I believe in you, and everyone here is of the same mind. Reeas will also be appointed the same rank. I am now going into silence for a time. Of course, if the network wants to contact me, I will be available. Farewell.'

  Sionn was now gone. I felt terrible because I didn't have time to say goodbye!

  Grenwer started to speak?

  'I have to tell you that Sionn has been awarded Master-of-the-Multiverse. This appointment is from Mannus himself.' Everyone started to cheer. I cheered more than most. Reeas had tears in her eyes, again, which started me off, again. Deria's 1 and 2 came over to hug us. And let me tell you that you haven't been hugged till you have been hugged by an Elfin Princess in human form. We are about to go to the restroom when Grenwer said, 'Dan and Reeas, will you please join me in the briefing room.'
