Dan Sherman Space Guardian All Worlds Book Three
Chapter 26-Encounter with a God
While preparing to make the journey back to Terick 3 I knew we had failed, the container was now destroyed and the spores would contaminate the Galaxy, then in time the Universe! Sionn didn`t seem too bothered, mind you, he wasn`t the easiest person to read, and neither was Grenwer. I felt dejected, and they knew it. Reeas must have sensed this as she came over and rubbed my arm. Sionn was now on the ships screen looking unruffled.
‘He said, ‘When did you first know the containers weren`t dangerous?’
Reeas said, ‘I had my suspicions at Far-Station, but I wasn`t sure.
‘What?’ I said.
‘Yes, the containers were false, we had to find the agent, that was the first priority and we have. Kallo managed to gather an army of helpers and agents, some of whom were very dangerous. It has taken many years simply to locate the planets were they lived, as you know, we couldn`t access some of the places because of the lower consciousness of the people.’
‘So this whole plan was a trap to capture Kallo, and his helpers.’
‘Yes.’ Sionn said. ‘But we couldn`t tell you or Reeas, the only being we could divulge our plan to was Deria because she is of a higher race; her thought waves cannot be tracked by any lower life forms, only her kind can do this, and us.
We would like to thank you, Dan and Reeas, you have proved yourself to be brave and inventive, we want you to now consider whether you want to continue your apprenticeship with us while you rest and dream. The battle is still not over as there are still agents to be found, but we will discuss that later. The goal which we set ourselves has been achieved. The war between the Dresdans and the Tourgens has been stopped and they will be relocated elsewhere. The planet Yalton is now being reborn and Far-Station is no more.’ I felt elation, stupidity, amazement, and love all at once. All I could say was ‘Thank you.’
Sionn and Grenwer smiled and for once I did, it must have looked stupid on this big ugly beast face, but I didn`t care. ‘Please reports to Terick 3 for debrief.’ He said.
It would take two days to get back to Terick 3 so we again decided to dream travel while our bodies were asleep on the ship. Reeas said, ‘Where would you like to visit this time?’
I said I would like to know what happened in my last incarnation before I became Dan Sherman. She said I wouldn`t like it. I said, well, I still want to know. ‘OK,’ she said, ‘you were killed at Normandy in the Second World War.’
‘That explains why I was always interested in things to do with that war.’ I said.
‘Please rest Dan, and dream.’ Reeas said.
We woke up in the dream state sitting on a grass bank looking at a raging battle, there was an armada of ships bombarding the shoreline, and the invasion troops were getting ready to land. Now it was all coming back to me!
‘I was in one of those landing craft. ‘That`s enough’ I said. ‘I know the rest.’
Reeas said, ‘Do you want to visit your wife Elaine?’
‘Yes,’ I said, ‘More than ever, but first I want to go to the somewhere peaceful and spiritual. I’ve had my share of cruel and ugly.’
Reeas said, ‘I know a place that is just that, I was taken there by a spiritual master many years ago in the dream state. It is a planet at the far reaches of the Universe, but is no more than a dream away.’
We sat down to meditate.
After a few minutes I found myself standing in an unbelievable landscape! Reeas was at my side. This planet must be a giant, I thought, as the view was limitless no matter how far I looked there was no end to the horizon!
Reeas said, ‘This is one of the highest regions of the astral plane. A planet called Nemura. Only the highest spiritual beings come here.’
‘How come I’m here then?’ I said. I knew I still had a long way to go before I could call myself highly spiritual.
‘You have been granted a visit, Reeas said. Come; let us go to the spiritual city in this region.’
We flew over the landscape hand in hand, and I still couldn`t make out the horizon, but the mountains were spectacular, higher and more beautiful than anything I had ever seen. The emotion I was feeling was of ecstasy, as we soured through the mountains finally coming to a rest on the side of a giant peak which had a man-made balcony and French windows! Reeas said, ‘This is usually an inaccessible place.’ I looked around; words cannot say how much I wanted to remain here. ‘The vibrations are starting to affect you, I can tell, don’t be alarmed, you will become accustomed in a while.’ She was right, my senses were reeling. ‘Please come with me,’ she said. We walked down some stone steps into the heart of the mountain; we came to a large room with a red and gold carpet.
Sitting in the lotus position on a large golden cushion was a giant of a man with golden skin, he had no hair at all, and gold bangles on his wrists and ankles and wore a loin cloth. He looked about thirty years old, but I knew he was much older than that! He was obviously in meditation as his eyes were closed. Reeas motioned for us to sit down; I automatically sat in the lotus position as I used to practice yoga in my life as a teacher. As soon as I closed my eyes, I became ‘aware’ in a different state! The man who was sitting on the cushion was now standing on a mountain path, and we were there also.
‘I am Mannus, Lord of this plane.’
I was totally amazed! The love and light coming from this being was indescribable!
‘Come walk with me,’ he said. I automatically thought of the wonderful walks I used to have in the Lake district in my last life on Earth, but this was different, although in many ways it was the same, the scenery was beautiful, but it was the simple truth that we are what we are in our own consciousness! If we are satisfied with our selves mentally and spiritually then we are in heaven, so to speak.
‘You have grasped something eternal.’ Mannus said, ‘Now look,’ and with a wave of his hand, the landscape changed! There was now a gigantic mountain in front of us many times bigger than the others. This is the mountain of God. The light was staggering to my eyes even though I wasn`t in the physical body. Every color in the spectrum was there, many more than in the scientific world of man. I felt I was about to burst with love and light. In fact Mannus said we had to limit our stay as it was dangerous to us to remain too long in the presence of the light. In the next instant we were back in the room. Mannus became aware of us, but he just sat there without moving. I didn`t know what to say so I kept quiet. He then said, ‘What have you learned?’ I thought long and hard, I knew it was better to say nothing than speak wrongly.
‘I`m learning,’ I said!
He smiled. Reeas said, ‘You are learning, Dan.’ In many ways I felt like a child, and in fact I was, compared to Reeas and Sionn, but, Mannus was something else, he was on a level which I could only dream of.
We woke up back on the ship in time for landing on Terick 3.
