"I see, and that makes sense to me... so...what now?"

"I will relax you again and plant the hypnotic suggestion. Then you will be ready to send the message."

By the time she reached home, she wondered about Levi Jackson and his mission. What was he up to? If he is as powerful as they say, perhaps he is the return of the Christ."

She slipped out of the car, and then FBI Director Morgan and Homeland Security Secretary Alderman greeted her, as soon as her feet hit the pavement. The Secretary spoke first, "I'm happy to see you are right on time. If this goes correctly, the acting President has informed me he will put you up for the Distinguished Metal of Honor, if you succeed."

Assistant Chief Detective Greta smiled and said, "And what if I die?"

"If you die, we have all lost, because we haven't any other way to capture him, I am afraid."

 Her mind was filled with the thoughts of the people around her. FBI Director Morgan thought that she didn't have a chance in hell. Chief Detective Wescott was afraid of demotion, and Secretary Alderman was a little harder to read. What came from him was if she survives, I sure would like to fuck her. "Sir, I will do my utmost to save the country, but if I were you I would guard my thoughts. You never know who is listening. William Alderman looked at her and paused, wondering what she meant.

"I will take your advice as we never know about this Levi," Alderman replied. "We have your room ready, the transport device is ready, and now you are ready?"

"Yes, I am ready, sir."

We want you to sit in your living room on the couch. We have arranged your room to our liking. As soon as you are ready, then begin to transmit. We would like you to tell him you want to meet his family because you are Venus' cousin. If it works, we expect him to appear before you. We are not sure how long it will take for him to arrive, or even if he will come, but we are willing to wait all night if necessary." Secretary Alderman and Director Morgan signaled their people to take their place. In total, there were about twenty agents in her neighbor's houses.

Assistant Chief Detective Greta walked into her house and sat down, precisely as directed. She felt like a traitor to her cousin, but this was more important than family. Slowly, she relaxed her mind by thinking of a beach in Florida, where she liked to vacation. She could feel the heat of the sun on her face and hear the waves as they lapped against the shore. Looking around she could see many gulls and terns, as they flew along the beach in search of food. She turned her head to the left and looking along the coast she could see children playing in the surf singing 'rain, rain go away...,' and one woman, with bread, fed the gulls. In front of her were adults sunbathing, some with clothes on and others in the nude. Turning her head to the right she saw a nude man approaching her. He was nude and looked like a Greek God. He stopped about five feet from her and said, "Greetings Greta Bastion, you have chosen a wonderful place to relax your mind, and I see Dr. Burton has trained you very well. Welcome, cousin of my bride to my realm. I knew you before you were born and you have done so well for yourself, protecting the country. I have someone I would like for you to meet." He stepped aside and she saw a woman approaching her. "Greta, I would like for you to meet your cousin, Venus Bastion Jackson, my beloved wife."

Assistant Chief Detective Greta said, "Hello." Then she blurted out, "This is a trap, do not come to me."

Venus replied, "Oh my dear cousin, we know this. We know every thought you have, we know the thoughts of everyone on Earth. Do you think you could deceive us?"

"No, I suppose not, especially when I began to hear thoughts of those around me. Levi, are you the second coming of the Christ?"

"No, my child, I am more like John the Baptist, I am here to prepare the way for the harvest to come."

"But you are so powerful, how does any man gain such power?"

"Inside my imperfect shell dwells the essence of the Lord, when I die, then the Lord will reveal himself to all at once and there will be no doubt, as to who is Lord. The power within me is available to anyone who truly believes. Like how you believed Dr. Burton and passed through the chair. What I can do, you can do, and you will."

"Why do you need a spaceship?"

"Come with me, and I will show the glory of the Lord."

Venus stood beside Levi as he touched Greta. In an instant, the three of them stood beside the ship in space. Greta said, "Oh my God, it is so big, it is so beautiful and it is made of gold. I see now, why you have brought the ship with you. It is the fulfillment of prophecy."

Levi said, "I have more to show you," and she found herself standing alongside Levi and Venus, but she did not recognize her surroundings. In front of her were endless numbers of what looked like explosions. Before you are many universes with countless galaxies, stars, planets, and living creatures. These are all the creations of the Lord, the workings of the Unknowable Prime Mover, God. I, Yahweh, have created all things from the Prime Mover's voice. Gravity is my creation and it will keep the countless universes recycling forever, it only appears weak to your scientists because it is spread so thin. All you see before you at this moment is a process of birth, death, and rebirth just like all things I created. Each time the Lord will create again all that is from the vibrations of what is the Great Unknowable God. You are vibrations of the Voice that is the Lord of all. I am a part of you and always will be through countless incarnations. You are eternal and have lived many times. As a human, your lifespan, which consists of birth, death, and rebirth, is much shorter than that of the Pleiadians and other of my beings. Consider the house fly; it lives three days, but a lifetime is a lifetime; that is what your lifespans are to the gods. I do not know my lifespan, yet my work is never done, but like you, I must eventually recycle; only matter and energy are eternal."

"But why life at all?"
