Thea Alexander - 2150 A.D.

"You're not dreaming," she said with her lips this time pressed against mine. "You're just beginning to experience your Macro powers. Now push the top button so we can experience the morning light."

I started to rise, but she refused to release me saying, "Do it with your mind, Jon, not your body."

"How?" I wondered.

The answer came, "Reach out with an imaginary finger and touch the button."

I did this and the light came pouring in on us.

"There, you see," Carol glowed, "your first demonstration of psycho kinesis. Now, push it again."

I did and once again the room was in darkness.

"It's true!" I said, pushing the button again to let the morning light back in. "I can do it! But how?"

"Did you ever experience Macro contact before?" Carol asked rhetorically, then added, "Well, that's what happened. You'll never be so limited again."

"You mean that because I was able to let go of my micro identity last night I can now experience the beginning of Macro power?"

"Yes," Carol replied. "While everyone experiences Macro contact, the micro person, suffering from self imposed isolation from the rest of the macrocosm, does not consciously remember these experiences and, thus, cannot profit much from them. You have chosen to remember your oneness and, thus, your Macro contact. To the extent that you can remember your contact with your Macro origin you will have Macro awareness and all the powers that go with it."

"I feel like a giant!" I said and covered her with kisses that soon led to a complete joining of our bodies. Then I heard Carol's voice ask C.I. to again provide our individual soul notes. The same notes that had resonated through our room last night as we prepared for our Macro contact once again filled our room.

"What was that you asked for? Our individual soul notes?" I inquired as they faded away at the sound of my voice.

"Yes," she responded. "Each soul has a unique vibration. Yours and Lea's are exactly the same. Mine is very similar to yours. That's one of the reasons I was selected to be your first Alpha mate. C.I. knows each person's soul note, or vibration, and, by playing both of ours together, can help us attain complete immersion in each other and our oneness with all that is, was, or ever will be."

"Is that the same as Macro contact?"

"No," was her answer. "Macro contact is achieved through total merging of minds, not just bodies.

"Sex, used with a Macro motive, can help us attain Macro immersion, merging with each other, or Macro contact, merging with the macrocosm. Use it with a micro motive and you have all the micro divisions and misery that micro sex can cause."

"Then sex is neither micro nor Macro?" I asked.

"It depends on your motive," Carol answered. "Sex is a part of the natural rhythm of the macrocosm like everything else. It has many very positive functions for people of all ages. Used to relax, to relieve tension, to express love, or just for fun, it enriches life. Used to control, coerce, abuse, or used against the wishes of either participant, it results in negative vibrations which can be extremely hard to balance.

"Whether sex, like any other thought or act, is more Macro than micro is determined by one's motivation in that time and space."

Then Carol asked C.I. to supply Macro stimuli. Our room was once again filled with exciting resonances. This time one glorious note was repeated over and over in an evolving pattern until my body and mind vibrated as one in exquisite joy that kept mounting in intensity until again I experienced myself as a mighty river. This time, however, I experienced the river as being two great rivers that had united to make one. While we did not join the infinite ocean I find that I still have great difficulty selecting words to describe this exhilarating experience.

When our rivers crested into one huge, tumultuous wave I held her tightly and moaned ecstatically as Carol cried out. The sound of our soul notes gently receded in volume and intensity until the room was at last silent once more.

As we lay peacefully joined together, I began to realize that I would never again desire less than a Macro sexual union. I heard Carol say in my mind that I would probably now limit myself to only those whose soul vibration was almost or totally identical to mine. All other unions would be hollow imitations of the real thing.

"But how many females would that include?" I asked.

"Out of all people in the Macro society, approximately a thousand could achieve Macro contact with you.

"Here in our Delta, which has 5,000 females, there is Lea, one of your twin souls whose vibrations are identical to your own, myself, seven other females, and two males whose soul notes are similar enough to attain Macro contact with you."

"Two men?" My mind boggled at the prospect of what I would/should do in this 2150 culture if I met a man who made me feel the way Carol and Lea do.

"Of course, Jon. You know that we can incarnate as either male or female. That doesn't change our soul vibration.

"C.I. carefully determines its Alpha mate recommendations on the basis of soul note similarity. The final decision is then left to the parties involved.

"You'll know a soul mate or a twin soul by the harmonious vibrations. However, it is only with your twin souls that you will experience perfect harmonic balance at all times."

"Don't you have a twin soul here?" I queried.

Carol smiled and said, "Don't worry. You aren't depriving me of a twin soul. In fact, it's extremely rare that twin souls incarnate at the same time and place. They usually decide that they can learn faster in this dimension when they are separate. It tends to spur them on to greater learning efforts so they can be reunited sooner."

I wondered why Lea, my own twin soul, had brought me to her own time and whether, perhaps, what Carol had said didn't apply to us.

"Of course it applies to you," she responded. "You came together because your learning could be accelerated faster this way than any other way. You've met her and know that you cannot become her Alpha mate until you finish your Macro society education. To completely sever your mind-body connection with 1976 you must demonstrate third-level awareness, and you must do this within three months of your 1976 time."

"Three months! That's impossible!"

"We hope not," Carol responded. "But you'll have to work very hard, and it must be completed within the three-month time period."

"Why?" I demanded. "And why didn't someone tell me this before?"

"The answer to your second question," Carol replied, "is that you would have thought it completely impossible before your first Macro contact. The answer to why only three months is that it takes great energy on Lea's part to not only bring you here but to keep you here. Last night was the first rest she has gotten during your stay here. As long as you were in Macro contact you were free of all time-space restrictions, and, therefore, needed no help in maintaining your time-space translation."

"You mean that if I can ever demonstrate third-level awareness, then I can help her keep me here?"

"That's right, and C.I. has calculated that Lea can only transcend the time-space barriers without your help for three months."

"My God! What an assignment. What if I can't make third level in three months, what happens then?" I asked. "You return to your time period for the rest of your present incarnation. Lea will have used up all her present incarnation's life energy possible without becoming discarnate-dead-as would be the case if she tried to continue transcending time-space barriers by herself, or if she tried to re-establish contact later."

"But couldn't some of the other level nines, or even tens, help her?" I asked.

"They are helping her," Carol replied. "Every level nine and ten who is incarnate on this planet or any of our neighboring planets is helping-and quite a few discarnates too. However, no one but a twin soul can supply the final link energy, and as long as you are incarnate, this is limited. You've got three months in which to demonstrate third-level awareness-that's all."
