father's favorite chair and positioned the recorder on the adjacent end table. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes. I wanted to be as comfortable as possible, I didn't know how long Mentor would speak.
    Yet I didn't really have much faith that this would work.
    The breathing was very relaxing. I glanced at my watch at the start, but didn't time anything exactly. At some point I think I drifted off, I could have fallen asleep, but I didn't think I did. I became aware that I was unusually relaxed. Words suddenly popped out of my mouth without my anticipating them.
    “ You are ready to begin ,” I said.
    Somebody said. Or was it me? My voice sounded much the same, maybe slightly deeper. For a moment I had to struggle to keep my eyes closed and stay relaxed. More words emerged from my mouth.
    “ You are ready to begin. ”
    “Is that you Mentor?” I whispered.
    “ Yes. ”
    “But I feel like I am speaking.”
    “ You are speaking. ”
    “But how do I know it's really you?”
    “ Relax and let it happen. Let there be no concern. Certainty will come later. ”
    “OK.”
    “ What do you wish to ask? ”
    My state of relaxation was deepening. Once again I felt the subtle movement of energy around my head and at the base of my spine. It was soothing and seemed both electrical and magnetic in origin, and as my attention focused on it, I felt my breathing slow even more.
    “Is this all real?” I whispered.
    “ Yes. ”
    “It is not a prelude to madness?”
    “ No. ”
    “But schizophrenics hear voices?”
    “ Do you hear voices? ”
    “No.”
    “ Do you hear anything? ”
    “No. Just normal sounds.”
    “ Then you are not schizophrenic. You are able to speak these words because you are entering a refined state of consciousness. In this state you do not have any awareness of things in particular, you simply have a heightened state of awareness. To make it more confusing this is a state of non-knowing, where anything can be known. It is a state of innocence, and in that innocence you can recognize that faint impulse of this telepathy. ”
    “Is this how people communicate on your planet, through telepathy?”
    “ Yes. ”
    “Can you send a spaceship for me and let me visit your planet?”
    “ No. If you came here in a physical ship you would find my planet covered with molten lava. At your level of density, my planet is unsuitable for human life. We do not exist at your density. You are what is called third density. We vibrate at a higher level, a fourth density. Yet long ago we were as human as you beings on Earth are at present. At that time, this world was much like your Earth. But that was millions of years ago. ”
    “So you have evolved beyond physical matter?”
    “ Yes. The physical system is but one of many, although your scientists think it is all that exists. But soon, very soon, they will have to change their way of thinking. ”
    “How so?”
    “ Groups like yours will begin to emerge. They will possess powers your modern physical theories cannot explain. Perhaps your group will be one that will have a positive effect on humanity. ”
    “You speak of me as different from you. But yesterday you said we were the same.”
    “ We are the same, and in a larger sense we are different aspects of an even greater entity. But you, Daniel, deep inside, are not truly third density. You are like me, fourth density. You have merely taken on the shell of third-density existence to serve the people of Earth. It is a great sacrifice for you to be on Earth. ”
    I felt myself smile. “It wasn't last night.”
    “ Your favorite illusion. I am pleased you had fun. ”
    “So what you're saying is that when I die, I will be with you?”
    “ Yes. You will not only be with me, you will be me. ”
    “I will be on your world?”
    “ Yes. ”
    “Cool.”
    “ Yes. ”
    “Is Ortee beautiful?”
    “ There is beauty here beyond your wildest imagination. The joys of third density cannot compare to fourth density
