repetition here so be careful of that if you start reading here all this stuff.
IF you don't know yet who "Arcane" is. I started writing about him in 1980 on a brown paper grocery bag in the front yard
while sitting on my lawn after walking home from Pine Grove Health Food Store down the street. (Pine Grove is now more
and now has become "Berryvale" next to the Mt. Shasta Post Office by the way).
So, I didn't know until I believed I might be dying in 1998 and 1999 that Arcane is actually a future life I already remember
living. "You might say: "How is that possible?" Well. What I discovered while I prepared for death in 1998 and 1999 until May
when I was told by my doctors that I was going to live likely a long and normal life despite what had happened to me: was that
I had realized a soul is not what most people think it is at all. Instead a soul doesn't even live in time and space unless it is residing
in a body at the time. So, what I found out is that a soul can remember all lifetimes it has lived in the past, present and future
simply because from a soul's point of view they are all lived simultaneously. So, I'm writing about a lifetime I already lived
even though I was born about 1,000,000 years into the future in a body that came from earth likely around the 25 Century or
after. At this time when Arcane is born they don't know where earth is at all. But, it is possible that Earth is New Deva with
a lot more water than Earth has now. And Isfahel might be Mars then about 1 million years into the future when Arcane is born.
The thing to understand is that I started writing about "Arcane" in 1980 but didn't know he was a past life experience in the future
until 1998 and 1999.

usually try to end anything about past lives in the past, present or future because of this.

Memories Chapter 13 On New Deva
They were still staying at Arcane's favorite undersea hotel on New Deva. His kids Darcy and Star were 10 and 12 years of age and staying in an underwater room and Celeste was staying in an AIR Breather Room because she didn't have gills like Arcane and Darcy and Star still did. Darcy (the boy) is now 12 and Star (the girl) is now 10.
One day Arcane said to Celeste and the Kids: "One reason I brought you all here when Arcane (Young Arcane) was still a teenager is I had these two Water Dragons as pets. And I wanted you to see and meet them."
Darcy the 12 year old son of Arcane said, "What? You had dragons as pets?"
Arcane: "No. They aren't like legendary earth dragons they are water dragons because of their size and they remind us of dolphins and whales mostly except they don't breathe air but they love humanoids a lot like dolphins do on earth because they are telepathic with humans like Dolphins are on earth."
Star said, "Oh Wow! When do we meet them and what are their names?"
ARcane said, "Well. To be fair I should go get Arcane the Teenager to introduce you all to them. But, the females name is Octavia and the males name is Brutus and they are mates.
So, Arcane called his parents (who actually know who Arcane is as an adult) and asked their young teenage son to go to this underwater hotel and meet with "Uncle Future" (because he is related and also a time traveler) so young Arcane understood that Old Arcane was a slightly modified New Devan humanoid with his finger and toe webbing removed and his tongue shortened and his eyes looked different than a new Devan and his hair is different and his skin color isn't purple which is more useful in the oceans here to have purple skin and Golden eyes on New Deva. And for underwater it was more useful for New Devans to have longer hair that they often tied back. (So, young Arcane is the younger version of Arcane the adult that he was told to call "Uncle Future" by his parents.
Young Arcane had different plans for the day other than entertaining these "Strangers" who were relatives of his but he still hadn't figured out how.
He actually had planned to spend the day with Prophetess and her betrothed older sister to him "Ah Ray IN" as they had planned to go fishing underwater in a pretty grotto area nearby.
So, young Arcane's nose was sort of out of joint having to "entertain" these "STrangers" who were supposed to be relatives of his parents and he. But, he hadn't totally figured it out yet how this all worked.
But, when he got to the hotel he found he really liked the hotel and really liked Darcy and Star who took to him immediately and sort of made him wish that he would have kids like them one day with Ah Ray In his betrothed.
Uncle Future (is old Arcane) and young Arcane I will just call "Young Arcane".
Uncle Future: "Hello. Arcane. Thank you so much for showing us the ocean and your friends Brutus and Octavia. Did you name them yourself?"
Young Arcane: "Well. Actually Ah Ray In and Prophetess summoned them first and then I made friends with them and trained them to ride us into the air. But they actually gave them the names Octavia and Brutus.
Uncle Future: "Do you know the story of the original boy that had the name Arcane?"
Young Arcane: "Of Course". and he sort of gave Uncle Future a strange look like "What do you think I'm stupid or something?"
Uncle Future could only smile at Young Arcane's indignation. But Young Arcane was very well trained not to speak impolitely to Uncle Future or Celeste or anyone else.
Uncle Future Said, "How do you summon the Water Dragons?"
Young Arcane smiled: "With my mind!"
Uncle Future: "YOU must be quite talented to summon them with your mind. Not many people can do that even on New Deva!"
Young Arcane:" Yes. The Oracle of New Deva said I'm a really good sender."
Uncle Future: "Do you think you could send out so that everyone on New Deva could Hear you?"
Young Arcane: "I don't know. I never thought of doing that. I'd have to have a pretty good reason to do that and I don't at present."
Uncle Future smiled. Then he said, "The problem with us riding with you is that Celeste doesn't have gills so I'm worried about her doing this. What do you think Arcane?"
Young Arcane thought carefully about this and said, "I think she should wear a rebreather to replenish the oxygen she breathes but that she shouldn't wear a SCUBA tank because it could kill her by accident when she lands in the water. I also think since she cannot hold her water in her lungs to stay warm aloft that she should either wear a wet suit or a dry suit if she's going to fly with the rest of us.
Uncle Future: "Well said, young man. YOU really do know your stuff."
Young Arcane: "I'm an Eagle Sea Scout, Uncle Future. I have been well trained for any survival situation or any triage or first responder stuff here on New Deva."
Note regarding Reality Generators:
Aliens from other planets that don't look exactly like humans here or look very different use reality generators when living on or visiting Earth. But, New Deva is open to other species visiting and has gotten used to seeing aliens of all kinds as tourists or even some that live here for different periods of time. Though people would recognize some of the attributes that Old Arcane "Called Uncle Future" by Young Arcane so young Arcane doesn't fully get that Old Arcane is him grown up with a family because that wouldn't make any sense to Arcane at all because he is supposed to marry Arayin or AH Ray In. So, not wanting to confuse Arcane any more than absolutely necessary at this point for a variety of reasons he isn't telling young Arcane that he has started a 2nd timeline. However, Telling Ah Ray IN (and because she is an Empath Prophetess now knows too) was necessary to protect Ah Ray In from dying on this 2nd timeline. From my perspective what is interesting to me is that the Young Arcane on this new Timeline may or may not become a "Planet Saver". However, the Oracle of New Deva now understands that everything has changed time wise on the 2nd timeline for New Deva and for the planet Isfahel as well. But, as a result it is quite possible that Ah Ray In and Young Arcane will marry and possibly be happy unimpeded in their lives this time on the 2nd time line.
But, the point of Reality Generators is they are used on earth and were originally designed by scientists by analyzing organic shape shifters like Bigfoot species are on earth which is more common on other planets than here.
So, the organic ability to appear to be something else than you are is a relatively common attribute on many planets now. So, the technology of a "Reality Generator" is something commonly used on earth by visitors from other planets or dimensions. Most people wear this device about where you would wear a belt and it generates a field. Darcy's and Star's (old Arcane's kids) wear one all the time on Earth because they do not appear to be like normal earthlings because they are 1/2 New Devan. However, their tongues have been shortened so they can speak English and other Earth languages properly. Since they are likely going to spend most of their time on earth (at least growing up there) they need to feel like they can communicate with others young and old effectively. It allows a being to become more integrated into a society on a planet this way.
Also, a reality generator can be also worn underwater or in the rain with no ill effect the way it is designed.
End note.
The point being that millions of beings from other planets wear these devices on earth. I just thought you should know this. Most of them are good beings but there are always criminals too that slip into earth illegally that wear these too. Then the Galactic Time Guard often has to come to earth and repair time or His Oneness' Time Guards repair time or sometimes Arcane or others of Earth's United Nations Time Guard repair time or sometimes the U.S. or Russia or China or England or France or other nations repair time within their borders too.
So, today Darcy (12 and a boy) and Star 10 and a girl) aren't having to wear their Reality Generators because they are on New Deva the place of their father's birth.
They are underwater and are just waking up from dreaming while breathing underwater sleeping in the underwater hotel.
First Darcy tried to talk but that didn't work well because oxygen is going into the blood from sucking water into his mouth and out his gills but sound doesn't work without air and vocal cords very much underwater. This had been his first night sleeping under water in his life in an underwater hotel.
Star saw her brother try to talk underwater and then just laughed because she thought it was funny. Then Darcy started to laugh too so they just laughed for awhile thinking this all was pretty fun and funny waking up underwater with tropical fish swimming by. Then a fish swam up to Darcy and bit off one of his leg hairs and then they both laughed some more.
Note: By the way this is all taking place before the 2nd timeline started on Earth. This is in 2000 because Darcy was born in 1988 and Star was born in 1990 and mostly (even though they have already been all over the world and to other planets in Arcane's Green Sphere (and now His Oneness has one too only it has a blue aura instead of a green one) Arcane being an expert time traveler would know to have them leave during the night in Lahaina and only be gone for at most 1/2 second from their beds before they returned even if they all have been gone from earth up to 6 months or more at a time. So, you could call this an extended vacation which Arcane and Celeste Greatly needed because they had been working a lot most of their adult lives saving planets from extinction both New Deva and Earth and Celeste's home planet sometimes referred to as the "No Religion Planet" by people who didn't live there. But by the locals on her planet they often referred to it as "Utopia" planet.
So, this "Vacation" to get to know their children and each other better and to learn more about Arcane's home culture was very healing for all of them in various ways. It was healing for Celeste because she got to spend time not only with young Arcane but also previous incarnations of herself of Prophetess and Ah Ray In as well as Old Arcane and their children.
end note:
So, Darcy and Star are laughing a lot and Star telepaths to Darcy: "I think we need to telepath since talking isn't working."
Darcy: "Yes. Dad said that's why people are telepathic here on New Deva because they couldn't talk underwater, they could only write on a tablet with chalk or something to communicate but they also developed a hand signing system too for people who just weren't that good at clear telepathy. Some people are so dreamy they cannot be focused enough to have clear telepathic communications without it becoming a full soap opera or something."
Star: "Yes. I can see how that could be. Some of the girls minds at school in my class are like that whenever they see a boy they like they just get into some alternate reality where they likely couldn't telepath effectively unless it was to convey to that boy that they wanted him."
Darcy Smiled because he had experienced this too.
Darcy: "Yes Mom and Dad are just so focused all the time they taught us to think in very concise terms.
Star: "I like it here better than earth because we don't have to wear reality generators all the time, Darcy."
Darcy: "I like that too. But, I find this telepathic thing with everyone kind of creepy actually because I don't have to block my telepathy on earth but here people keep going into my mind because I'm an off worlder and I don't like it. It's like they are using my mind for television to be entertained or something."
Star: "OH. I didn't understand before now that that was what was happening but I felt it too. Now you've got me creeped out too."
Darcy: "DAd told me that you have to set up a force field around your whole body or people will do this here. He said he was so gifted this way that people were terrified of him because he could know literally anything about them and they couldn't hide anything from him at all. That's why the Oracle of New Deva knew he was a "World Saver" like the original Arcane and they named him what they did."
Star said, "Wow! Dad's even scarier than I thought."
Darcy: "But he's also a saint, Star. He would never hurt us because we are his kids."
Star: "It's sort of weird being the daughter of a Saint because on Earth Saints don't marry like they do here on New Deva usually.
Darcy had to think about this some. She was usually right about things like this.
They heard their mother call them for breakfast so they undid their seaweed that held them near their bed area that kept them from drifting away on the currents. The tropical fish scattered as they swam up to their mothers room. They pushed a button and an opening in the floor appeared and the climbed up through this "Glass?" opening in her glass floor to her air breather's room.
They had ordered Earth food for breakfast Lahaina style so they were happy because it was sort of like being home in Hawaii except that looking out the window the ocean was purple as they listened to the rollers of the ocean hit the sides of the Air breathers room.
Darcy talked first and said, "Star and I like it here a lot, Mom."
Celeste: "Actually, I do too."
Darcy: "Can we stay here longer. I feel safer here than on Earth, Mom."
Celeste: "Yes. many Scary things are going to happen on earth the next couple of years.
Darcy: "Are we going to be okay in Hawaii?
Celeste: "Yes. But you might not want to be in the Middle East for awhile."
Darcy: "But we've never been there."
Celeste: "Your father goes there a lot to prevent nukes from going off. He's really good at that.
Star: "I worry about Dad because his job is so dangerous."
Celeste: "You needn't really worry. Your Dad is Galactic Time Guard, even if he died on assignment he would be brought back to life through the alteration of time. It's just how things really are in the Galaxy."
Darcy's eyes got big and Star had a shocked look on her face.
Celeste: "How many people from earth get to go to New Deva in a past time while Arcane was growing up?"
Darcy: "No one I know of at least."
Star nodded but was shocked by what her mother had said.
Note: Since Arcane accidentally started a 3rd timeline without knowing it at the time by preventing Tech Noir's birth on Isfahel, he still had to end Tech Noir's soul living in body on Isfahel at the time Arcane and Ah Ray in were in their teens. So, one day Tech Noir didn't wake up on Isfahel. Did this create a 4th timeline? Likely not, but we will have to see what happens won't we?
But a new twist arrived for Old Arcane when he removed Tech Noir and gave his soul to Meridian to hopefully retrain him in a better direction as a soul on Earth in earth's purgatories.
What Old Arcane realized is that since Prophetess and Ah Ray IN now knew about what happened on the 1st timeline he was going to have to tell Young Arcane who he really was and that he had created a 2nd Timeline that Young Arcane now lived on. And that he had accidentally created a 3rd timeline by preventing Tech Noir's birth and that hopefully ending Tech Noir being alive in a body on the 2nd timeline didn't somehow create a 4th timeline. Of this he wasn't sure. maybe His Oneness on earth would be able to look at a Time Pool and know for sure. But, he wasn't sure if this would work for New Deva on this time line. Also, Old ARcane realized he didn't even know if there was a Time Lord on New Deva. Maybe the Oracle of New Deva could tell him?
What had he gotten himself into? Was the Oracle of New Deva going to tell him that Arcane was now the Time Lord of New Deva and what would that mean in relation to Young Arcane and his place in all this?
So, after returning from giving Tech Noir's soul to Meridian in an earth purgatory (a place in between lifetimes for people who harm other people while alive in a body who might have some hope of being turned to the good in their karmic streams still?). (However, Arcane was thinking Tech Noir's soul might be close to the 2nd death (the death of a soul) from all the harm on multiple planets he had caused by now as a soul.
So, returning to New Deva that day he had summoned Arcane regarding the water Dragons Octavia and Brutus. And he said to Young Arcane that he wanted to ride Brutus with Young Arcane. Young Arcane said: "Why?"
Uncle Future (old Arcane said convincingly: "I want my family to see how riding double or triple on a water dragon is done."
Little did Young Arcane know he was in for.
So, Uncle Future let Young Arcane be the controlling rider and Young Arcane was showing off for Arcane now.
As they both left the water with Octavia matching Brutus' flight. Arcane Screamed in English: "Arcane I'm You on a different Timeline than you are on!"
Arcane fell off Brutus at this point because he knew this was really really serious and because he knew something really bad had happened that he was going to find out.
When Young Arcane fell off of Brutus he also fainted from the shock so Arcane jumped off of Brutus and summoned the Green Sphere to pick them both up in the air.
Uncle Future radioed Celeste: "There's been an accident. Arcane fell off at altitude so I summoned the green Sphere to rescue him and I joined him. I think we might have to put off riding the water dragons a few days because of this accident."
Celeste told the children that though Arcane wasn't injured that he fell off at altitude and could have been killed and was still unconscious.
Uncle Future and Young Arcane sat in the green sphere as young Arcane woke up.
Uncle Future (Old Arcane said as young Arcane woke up). "I'm sorry I had to tell you this that I'm you on a different timeline."
Young Arcane said, "Why aren't we married to Ah Ray In? So, these are our children?"
Old Arcane said, " Yes. Are you ready for the full Truth?"
Young Arcane's eyes rolled up into his head in dread and said, "Something really bad happened, didn't it?"
Old Arcane: "Yes. It was unbelievably bad but you and I saved New Deva from being taken over by Tech Noir."
Young Arcane was suddenly interested and said, "Oh. I've heard of him. He's crazy. But he's still young, almost as young as me."
Old Arcane: "Yes. But he becomes more dangerous on the 1st timeline."
Young Arcane being much more soldier like now as he was trained to be as an Eagle Sea Scout said, " AH Ray In dies doesn't she?"
Old Arcane Nods his head and says: "Celeste is her next reincarnation. I met her on earth in the deep past."
Young Arcane: "This makes completely sense then. You married Ah Ray In's next incarnation. How did Ah Ray IN die on my timeline?"
Old Arcane: "She was invited as a diplomat to Isfahel and she decided to go. She was tortured to death by Tech Noir. I went with her and they captured me and separated me from her so I couldn't save her. The banished me to another time on Earth."
Young Arcane: "How did we defeat Tech Noir?"
Old Arcane: "Meridian of Earth trained me as an Earth Saint in addition to being a new Devan Saint."
Young Arcane: "And he gave you this Green Sphere?"
Old ARcane: "Yes. it can to go any space and time."
Young Arcane: "This is really amazing!"
But then the consequences of everything were appalling to him.
Old Arcane said, "Let me give you the last 50 years of my life since then."
Young Arcane said, "How old are you?"
Old Arcane: "I'm at least 100 years old right now but as a member of the Galactic Time Guard with my designation as a Galactic Saint I likely might never die."
Young Arcane: "Wow! But what happens to me now? You have done everything that I was supposed to do. What do I do?"
Old Arcane: "I think you might become the Time Lord of New Deva. Would you like to meet the Time Lord of Earth at some point?"
Young Arcane: "Sure. When?"
Old Arcane. "We need to go to the Oracle of New Deva right now so I can straighten some of this out."
Young Arcane: "I'm okay with this. Does Ah Ray IN know all this too in this time line?"
Old Arcane: "This is why I realized today I had to tell you of all this because she wouldn't be allowed by Betrothal conventions on New Deva to keep this from you. And it wasn't her place to tell you it was mine, one of your future selves?"
Young Arcane: "How many of us are there?"
Old Arcane: "I'm not sure right now."
Young Arcane started laughing at this point. He thought this was amazingly funny that the Galactic Time Guard Arcane didn't know how many Arcanes there might be now.
Immediately they arrived at the Office of the Oracle of New Deva in his living quarters.
The Oracle said, "What is this Arcane?"
Old ARcane: "I telepathed as much as I could but I had to clue in Young Arcane into all the time changes."
The Oracle said, "Does he know everything?"
Old Arcane: "NO. He only knows about Ah Ray In's torture and death so far."
The Oracle looked into Young Arcane and said, "I think that's all he can contain for today."
Old ARcane said: "I abide by your Judgement then. However, I have a question for you. Do you foresee Young Arcane becoming Time Lord of Earth?
The Oracle said, "HE and I will work as Time Lord of Earth until he becomes 25 then he will be the first Time Lord of New Deva. I have discussed this already with the Galactic Sentience as well as His Oneness Time Lord of Earth how to set all this up."
The Oracle put Young Arcane to sleep with his mind and said, "Uncle Future, you need to let him rest I think he might need to sleep for a week to process all the changes to his timeline now."
Old Arcane said; "Whatever you think best for now since the two of you are now Time Lords of New Deva for now."
The Oracle said, "Thank you again for freeing both planets from Tech Noir, Arcane on however many timelines we now have!"
Old Arcane: "I didn't intend to create so many potential timelines."
The Oracle: "Well. It gives our culture more chances to survive now like Earth."
Old Arcane nodded and disappeared letting Young Arcane sleep.
Old Arcane returned to Celeste at his favorite underwater hotel to Celeste's Air Breather room and held her as the sun set and cried and she understood.
She knew Arcane could make really good decisions for himself and everyone around him but at a terrible cost internally. This was the way of all truly Great men and Women and she understood this as well or better than Old Arcane did.
Arcane then said through his tears: "Did I do the Right thing, Celeste?"
Celeste: "Everything I know about what you did was the right thing to do. Even the Galactic Sentience cannot fault you even when you added maybe a few time lines by accident. After all, he approved the first (new) timeline beyond the regular one. However, he's going to expect you to straighten out any kinks over time too. If there are snags you will be responsible to help the Oracle and Young Arcane work things out somehow."
Arcane began thinking strategically about all this and realized everything had changed now he was not only a resident of the original New Deva timeline, he was the resident of all New Deva Timelines.
Arcane laughed: "I just realized we could live in any timeline but the first one after I saved Isfahel and New Deva from Tech Noir now!"
Celeste cringed a little because she was sort of attached to living on earth now with her children and Arcane and said, "I don't want to live here more than 1/2 of the time, Arcane, but I do know it is very psychologically healthy for the children not to have to wear Reality shifting Belts all the time. That is a really hard thing for them to do every single day. Also, how are they going to feel if they date Earth born humans in the future? Will they only be able to date New Devans and even then be thought less than because they have surgically altered shorter tongues so they could speak English and other Earth languages effectively?"
Arcane said, "Celeste, I've obviously brought up a can of worms I'm not ready to deal with I realize right now."
Celeste laughed and said, "Neither am I. Let's just watch the sunset. We have the rest of our lives together to work all this out now."
They both sighed at this thought and watched the sunset together. The kids came up to see what was happening and watched the sunset too. It was beautiful.
About a week later the Oracle of New Deva Summoned Old Arcane.
So, Arcane visited the Oracle in his Green Sphere since this would likely be some kind of official business of some kind. So, he needed to be prepared literally for anything.
The Oracle and Young Arcane were there.
Old Arcane said, "How are you doing Arcane?"
Young Arcane: "I'm a lot different than before. For example, there are many Arcanes now not just one with this same soul. So, it looks sort of like we all are brothers working for the same ends."
Old Arcane smiled: "I had hoped for this outcome."
Young Arcane led Old Arcane into the chambers of the Oracle of New Deva.
The Oracle seemed sort of worried and asked young Arcane to close the door behind Old Arcane.
The Oracle: "I informed the Galactic Sentience about what had happened and he has decided he wants to train Young Arcane here to be a "Oneness" like "His Oneness of Earth" which might change how things work here on New Deva a lot in the future. It appears having more than one timeline is more complicated and less simple in a variety of ways."
Old Arcane: "Yes. I'm sorry this is the case. I've run into this sort of thing on earth already while training Time Cadres for the United Nations starting after World War II in the Swiss Alps in caverns under the Alps."
The Oracle: "Yes. The Galactic Sentience mentioned you had to do this because of the invention of atomic weapons on earth."
Old Arcane: "Well. It's a dicey business at best watching nukes go off and then changing time so people don't die. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only left intact to make sense of earthlings but many other nukes also went off between especially 1945 and 1955 or 1960 and ongoing. We just had to change time a lot."
The Oracle: "Nuclear weapons aren't allowed on New Deva."
Old Arcane: "Yes. It's true but one could consider Tech Noir to be a Time Nuclear bomb that had to be stopped."
The Oracle: "Yes. That's what the Galactic Sentience said too."
Old Arcane: "That's interesting that he sounds like I'm talking.
The Oracle said, "When you went to earth the Galactic Sentience downloaded all your memories since birth into his gigantic perception of the universe, so a part of him is now a direct duplicate of you, Arcane."
Arcane Shuddered: "Well. This is a full Creator. WE may all be Souls of creators incarnating into humanoid types of bodies but remember the Galactic Sentience is a full Creator soul which is sort of like 1 million or more human beings rolled into one. Or even more than that."
It was time for the Oracle to shudder at the thought.
The Oracle: "Yes. This is overwhelming to contemplate actually isn't it?"
Old Arcane: "Is it okay for young Arcane to listen to all this? It won't harm his future?"
The Oracle: "No. Arcane is becoming like an Emperor or King of New Deva because of his likely going through a training of a "Oneness".
Old Arcane: "Yes. His Oneness of Earth from Lemuria has talked to me a little about what that was like."
The Oracle: "There are no wars here Arcane now that you eliminated Tech Noir from the timeline. Do we really need a "Oneness"?
Old Arcane: "From a Galactic Time Guard perspective the answer would be 'yes'."
The Oracle: "Why?"
Old Arcane: "Well. It's sort of like this. When timelines start to get altered in any way from the original and you have the possibility of 2 or more timelines living constantly together, there are certain things that you need a Oneness for to watch out for. You See, a Oneness is usually given a Time Pool."
The Oracle: "What's a Time Pool?"
Old Arcane was on his biocom to The Galactic Time Guards near the center of the Galaxy asking for guidance here.
Yes. the answer came back "both the Oracle and Young Arcane do need to know about Time Pools since they are both going to be Time Lords of Earth at least until Young Arcane is 25 years of age.
Arcane sighed in relief.
Old Arcane: "I have been authorized by the Galactic Time Guard to share this with you because you both will be Time Lords of New Deva until young Arcane is installed as full Time Lord when he is 25 years of age.
The Oracle Looked worried again: "This has changed somewhat too. It seems that Young Arcane needs to be trained and his training will begin with His Oneness and you today."
Old Arcane looked startled but also understood what was happening too. A "Oneness" represents the Galaxy and the Galactic Sentience in a Satellite Government on whatever planet that "Oneness" is installed as Leader of the planet. Even the Oracle of New Deva would then have to answer to the "Oneness" that 'Young Arcane would represent.
Old Arcane: "Are you worrying that New Deva just lost it's sovereignty because of me and Ah Ray In and my saving her life on the first time line?"
The Oracle: "Yes."
Old Arcane: "But it was never my intention to do this."
The Oracle: "May I speak privately to you about this Old ARcane?"
Old Arcane: "Yes."
The Oracle: "I think that it's possible that the Galactic Sentience knew that when Tech Noir killed Ah Ray In that he might have suspected that this might be the end outcome."
Old Arcane: "That's quite possible. There is no mind presently as developed and relatively speaking more developed not retired at present in the Galaxy that is a Creator."
The Oracle: "What do you think about all this?"
Old Arcane: "Well. Speaking to you as a Galactic Saint I would have to say that everything is constantly changing in the Galaxy in all sorts of ways. And for whatever the reason new time lines get created anywhere it is much safer for the survival of the Galaxy that a "Oneness" be there to supervise that is perfectly in sync with the Galactic Sentience in some ways."
The Oracle: "He says the Onenesses of all these thousands of planets are sort of like his children."
Old Arcane: "From what I've seen this is kind of how it works. For example, I just learned recently that people who are too polite in the wrong ways sometimes are incinerated on the spot by the Galactic Sentience."
The Oracle: "It's about having the clarity of truth to where any even white lies are not acceptable to the Galactic Sentience. I can understand that from speaking with him at length.
Old Arcane: "In some ways you are much like a "Oneness" yourself and all the previous Oracles of New Deva were too. Just to be able to communicate with him without incineration you have learned how to communicate effectively with him just like "His Oneness" of Earth."
The Oracle nodded. He let out a sigh realizing that he and all the previous Oracles of new Deva had already learned to be "Onenesses". He could let it all go now.
Old Arcane: "You are defending the realm of New Deva, Oracle. Don't be too hard on yourself.
All this has to be done."
The Oracle: "I can let it all go now that I fully understand it enough."
Old Arcane: "Good".
Now that we solved this problem somewhat can I explain to you and Young Arcane what a "Time Pool" is?
The Oracle and Young Arcane Nodded because they were in perfect psychic sync which was good for now. It allowed them to communicate telepathically without interrupting Old Arcane or anything else that was going on in the present.
Old Arcane: "Well. Imagine something that is basically the size of a small pool only it is a special kind of technology."
The Oracle: "So, it is literally a pool of some kind?"
Old Arcane: "Well. It can be. Or I suppose you could turn a Flat Screen of Earth that is sometimes used for TV in the near future that could be as big as a building into one too.
The Oracle: "So, the pool can be any size?"
Old Arcane: "It depends upon the need and how many people need to see time changes in real time. One of the reasons it's called a "Time Pool" is that it registers "Time Waves" which are like waves on the ocean but they travel through time instead of across an ocean."
The Oracle: "So a time pool doesn't just see one time it sees all time on a planet?"
Old ARcane: "It can be set up to do almost anything. But, it's most useful aspect is that it can track the source of unwanted anomalies in time. So, like if a Space alien criminal gets to earth or to New Deva he can be tracked down by the anomalies he or she or it would naturally create by being there."
"So, eventually that space criminal could be tracked down and removed one way or another."
The Oracle: "What about Earth or New Devan Criminals?"
Old Arcane: "Same thing. They cannot hide from a time pool either. However, there are only certain circumstances that we would interfere with a EArth or New Devan Born criminal."
The Oracle: "Why is that?"
Old Arcane: "Because of karma and souls. If we over regulate no one learns anything while incarnated in a physical form anywhere."
The Oracle Nodded and began to understand what a time pool was for.
Young Arcane looked kind of ill. This was too much for a teenager to take in fully at least yet.
Old Arcane looked at Young ARcane and said, "Are you okay?"
Young Arcane being an honest teenager just said, "I have no idea what to do with this information."
Old Arcane and the Oracle just smiled at this. Old Arcane said, "You will in time."
Young Arcane tried not to laugh because it seemed funny to him.
The Oracle said, "I think this is enough for now. You need to take Young Arcane to meet His Oneness if you have time today. His Oneness is waiting.
Old Arcane: "Have you both had lunch yet?"
The Oracle: "Why is that important?"
Old Arcane: "My green sphere can go to any place but also any time instantly. For example, I could wait 1000 years then come get Young Arcane this moment and take him to see "His Oneness" at literally any point in time or place."
The Oracle: "It must be pretty important this time. His Oneness of Earth is coming right now in his Blue Sphere."
Old Arcane rolled his eyes and smiled again.
The Oracle: "Did you give him the blue sphere?"
Old Arcane: "No. Meridian on earth did but I helped make it happen by asking Meridian for him."
The Oracle: "Amazing!"
Here is a word button to Chapter 14. I finally realized you needed this to be more helpful:
One day Arcane said to Celeste and the Kids: "One reason I brought you all here when Arcane (Young Arcane) was still a teenager is I had these two Water Dragons as pets. And I wanted you to see and meet them."
Darcy the 12 year old son of Arcane said, "What? You had dragons as pets?"
Arcane: "No. They aren't like legendary earth dragons they are water dragons because of their size and they remind us of dolphins and whales mostly except they don't breathe air but they love humanoids a lot like dolphins do on earth because they are telepathic with humans like Dolphins are on earth."
Star said, "Oh Wow! When do we meet them and what are their names?"
ARcane said, "Well. To be fair I should go get Arcane the Teenager to introduce you all to them. But, the females name is Octavia and the males name is Brutus and they are mates.
So, Arcane called his parents (who actually know who Arcane is as an adult) and asked their young teenage son to go to this underwater hotel and meet with "Uncle Future" (because he is related and also a time traveler) so young Arcane understood that Old Arcane was a slightly modified New Devan humanoid with his finger and toe webbing removed and his tongue shortened and his eyes looked different than a new Devan and his hair is different and his skin color isn't purple which is more useful in the oceans here to have purple skin and Golden eyes on New Deva. And for underwater it was more useful for New Devans to have longer hair that they often tied back. (So, young Arcane is the younger version of Arcane the adult that he was told to call "Uncle Future" by his parents.
Young Arcane had different plans for the day other than entertaining these "Strangers" who were relatives of his but he still hadn't figured out how.
He actually had planned to spend the day with Prophetess and her betrothed older sister to him "Ah Ray IN" as they had planned to go fishing underwater in a pretty grotto area nearby.
So, young Arcane's nose was sort of out of joint having to "entertain" these "STrangers" who were supposed to be relatives of his parents and he. But, he hadn't totally figured it out yet how this all worked.
But, when he got to the hotel he found he really liked the hotel and really liked Darcy and Star who took to him immediately and sort of made him wish that he would have kids like them one day with Ah Ray In his betrothed.
Uncle Future (is old Arcane) and young Arcane I will just call "Young Arcane".
Uncle Future: "Hello. Arcane. Thank you so much for showing us the ocean and your friends Brutus and Octavia. Did you name them yourself?"
Young Arcane: "Well. Actually Ah Ray In and Prophetess summoned them first and then I made friends with them and trained them to ride us into the air. But they actually gave them the names Octavia and Brutus.
Uncle Future: "Do you know the story of the original boy that had the name Arcane?"
Young Arcane: "Of Course". and he sort of gave Uncle Future a strange look like "What do you think I'm stupid or something?"
Uncle Future could only smile at Young Arcane's indignation. But Young Arcane was very well trained not to speak impolitely to Uncle Future or Celeste or anyone else.
Uncle Future Said, "How do you summon the Water Dragons?"
Young Arcane smiled: "With my mind!"
Uncle Future: "YOU must be quite talented to summon them with your mind. Not many people can do that even on New Deva!"
Young Arcane:" Yes. The Oracle of New Deva said I'm a really good sender."
Uncle Future: "Do you think you could send out so that everyone on New Deva could Hear you?"
Young Arcane: "I don't know. I never thought of doing that. I'd have to have a pretty good reason to do that and I don't at present."
Uncle Future smiled. Then he said, "The problem with us riding with you is that Celeste doesn't have gills so I'm worried about her doing this. What do you think Arcane?"
Young Arcane thought carefully about this and said, "I think she should wear a rebreather to replenish the oxygen she breathes but that she shouldn't wear a SCUBA tank because it could kill her by accident when she lands in the water. I also think since she cannot hold her water in her lungs to stay warm aloft that she should either wear a wet suit or a dry suit if she's going to fly with the rest of us.
Uncle Future: "Well said, young man. YOU really do know your stuff."
Young Arcane: "I'm an Eagle Sea Scout, Uncle Future. I have been well trained for any survival situation or any triage or first responder stuff here on New Deva."
Note regarding Reality Generators:
Aliens from other planets that don't look exactly like humans here or look very different use reality generators when living on or visiting Earth. But, New Deva is open to other species visiting and has gotten used to seeing aliens of all kinds as tourists or even some that live here for different periods of time. Though people would recognize some of the attributes that Old Arcane "Called Uncle Future" by Young Arcane so young Arcane doesn't fully get that Old Arcane is him grown up with a family because that wouldn't make any sense to Arcane at all because he is supposed to marry Arayin or AH Ray In. So, not wanting to confuse Arcane any more than absolutely necessary at this point for a variety of reasons he isn't telling young Arcane that he has started a 2nd timeline. However, Telling Ah Ray IN (and because she is an Empath Prophetess now knows too) was necessary to protect Ah Ray In from dying on this 2nd timeline. From my perspective what is interesting to me is that the Young Arcane on this new Timeline may or may not become a "Planet Saver". However, the Oracle of New Deva now understands that everything has changed time wise on the 2nd timeline for New Deva and for the planet Isfahel as well. But, as a result it is quite possible that Ah Ray In and Young Arcane will marry and possibly be happy unimpeded in their lives this time on the 2nd time line.
But, the point of Reality Generators is they are used on earth and were originally designed by scientists by analyzing organic shape shifters like Bigfoot species are on earth which is more common on other planets than here.
So, the organic ability to appear to be something else than you are is a relatively common attribute on many planets now. So, the technology of a "Reality Generator" is something commonly used on earth by visitors from other planets or dimensions. Most people wear this device about where you would wear a belt and it generates a field. Darcy's and Star's (old Arcane's kids) wear one all the time on Earth because they do not appear to be like normal earthlings because they are 1/2 New Devan. However, their tongues have been shortened so they can speak English and other Earth languages properly. Since they are likely going to spend most of their time on earth (at least growing up there) they need to feel like they can communicate with others young and old effectively. It allows a being to become more integrated into a society on a planet this way.
Also, a reality generator can be also worn underwater or in the rain with no ill effect the way it is designed.
End note.
The point being that millions of beings from other planets wear these devices on earth. I just thought you should know this. Most of them are good beings but there are always criminals too that slip into earth illegally that wear these too. Then the Galactic Time Guard often has to come to earth and repair time or His Oneness' Time Guards repair time or sometimes Arcane or others of Earth's United Nations Time Guard repair time or sometimes the U.S. or Russia or China or England or France or other nations repair time within their borders too.
So, today Darcy (12 and a boy) and Star 10 and a girl) aren't having to wear their Reality Generators because they are on New Deva the place of their father's birth.
They are underwater and are just waking up from dreaming while breathing underwater sleeping in the underwater hotel.
First Darcy tried to talk but that didn't work well because oxygen is going into the blood from sucking water into his mouth and out his gills but sound doesn't work without air and vocal cords very much underwater. This had been his first night sleeping under water in his life in an underwater hotel.
Star saw her brother try to talk underwater and then just laughed because she thought it was funny. Then Darcy started to laugh too so they just laughed for awhile thinking this all was pretty fun and funny waking up underwater with tropical fish swimming by. Then a fish swam up to Darcy and bit off one of his leg hairs and then they both laughed some more.
Note: By the way this is all taking place before the 2nd timeline started on Earth. This is in 2000 because Darcy was born in 1988 and Star was born in 1990 and mostly (even though they have already been all over the world and to other planets in Arcane's Green Sphere (and now His Oneness has one too only it has a blue aura instead of a green one) Arcane being an expert time traveler would know to have them leave during the night in Lahaina and only be gone for at most 1/2 second from their beds before they returned even if they all have been gone from earth up to 6 months or more at a time. So, you could call this an extended vacation which Arcane and Celeste Greatly needed because they had been working a lot most of their adult lives saving planets from extinction both New Deva and Earth and Celeste's home planet sometimes referred to as the "No Religion Planet" by people who didn't live there. But by the locals on her planet they often referred to it as "Utopia" planet.
So, this "Vacation" to get to know their children and each other better and to learn more about Arcane's home culture was very healing for all of them in various ways. It was healing for Celeste because she got to spend time not only with young Arcane but also previous incarnations of herself of Prophetess and Ah Ray In as well as Old Arcane and their children.
end note:
So, Darcy and Star are laughing a lot and Star telepaths to Darcy: "I think we need to telepath since talking isn't working."
Darcy: "Yes. Dad said that's why people are telepathic here on New Deva because they couldn't talk underwater, they could only write on a tablet with chalk or something to communicate but they also developed a hand signing system too for people who just weren't that good at clear telepathy. Some people are so dreamy they cannot be focused enough to have clear telepathic communications without it becoming a full soap opera or something."
Star: "Yes. I can see how that could be. Some of the girls minds at school in my class are like that whenever they see a boy they like they just get into some alternate reality where they likely couldn't telepath effectively unless it was to convey to that boy that they wanted him."
Darcy Smiled because he had experienced this too.
Darcy: "Yes Mom and Dad are just so focused all the time they taught us to think in very concise terms.
Star: "I like it here better than earth because we don't have to wear reality generators all the time, Darcy."
Darcy: "I like that too. But, I find this telepathic thing with everyone kind of creepy actually because I don't have to block my telepathy on earth but here people keep going into my mind because I'm an off worlder and I don't like it. It's like they are using my mind for television to be entertained or something."
Star: "OH. I didn't understand before now that that was what was happening but I felt it too. Now you've got me creeped out too."
Darcy: "DAd told me that you have to set up a force field around your whole body or people will do this here. He said he was so gifted this way that people were terrified of him because he could know literally anything about them and they couldn't hide anything from him at all. That's why the Oracle of New Deva knew he was a "World Saver" like the original Arcane and they named him what they did."
Star said, "Wow! Dad's even scarier than I thought."
Darcy: "But he's also a saint, Star. He would never hurt us because we are his kids."
Star: "It's sort of weird being the daughter of a Saint because on Earth Saints don't marry like they do here on New Deva usually.
Darcy had to think about this some. She was usually right about things like this.
They heard their mother call them for breakfast so they undid their seaweed that held them near their bed area that kept them from drifting away on the currents. The tropical fish scattered as they swam up to their mothers room. They pushed a button and an opening in the floor appeared and the climbed up through this "Glass?" opening in her glass floor to her air breather's room.
They had ordered Earth food for breakfast Lahaina style so they were happy because it was sort of like being home in Hawaii except that looking out the window the ocean was purple as they listened to the rollers of the ocean hit the sides of the Air breathers room.
Darcy talked first and said, "Star and I like it here a lot, Mom."
Celeste: "Actually, I do too."
Darcy: "Can we stay here longer. I feel safer here than on Earth, Mom."
Celeste: "Yes. many Scary things are going to happen on earth the next couple of years.
Darcy: "Are we going to be okay in Hawaii?
Celeste: "Yes. But you might not want to be in the Middle East for awhile."
Darcy: "But we've never been there."
Celeste: "Your father goes there a lot to prevent nukes from going off. He's really good at that.
Star: "I worry about Dad because his job is so dangerous."
Celeste: "You needn't really worry. Your Dad is Galactic Time Guard, even if he died on assignment he would be brought back to life through the alteration of time. It's just how things really are in the Galaxy."
Darcy's eyes got big and Star had a shocked look on her face.
Celeste: "How many people from earth get to go to New Deva in a past time while Arcane was growing up?"
Darcy: "No one I know of at least."
Star nodded but was shocked by what her mother had said.
Note: Since Arcane accidentally started a 3rd timeline without knowing it at the time by preventing Tech Noir's birth on Isfahel, he still had to end Tech Noir's soul living in body on Isfahel at the time Arcane and Ah Ray in were in their teens. So, one day Tech Noir didn't wake up on Isfahel. Did this create a 4th timeline? Likely not, but we will have to see what happens won't we?
But a new twist arrived for Old Arcane when he removed Tech Noir and gave his soul to Meridian to hopefully retrain him in a better direction as a soul on Earth in earth's purgatories.
What Old Arcane realized is that since Prophetess and Ah Ray IN now knew about what happened on the 1st timeline he was going to have to tell Young Arcane who he really was and that he had created a 2nd Timeline that Young Arcane now lived on. And that he had accidentally created a 3rd timeline by preventing Tech Noir's birth and that hopefully ending Tech Noir being alive in a body on the 2nd timeline didn't somehow create a 4th timeline. Of this he wasn't sure. maybe His Oneness on earth would be able to look at a Time Pool and know for sure. But, he wasn't sure if this would work for New Deva on this time line. Also, Old ARcane realized he didn't even know if there was a Time Lord on New Deva. Maybe the Oracle of New Deva could tell him?
What had he gotten himself into? Was the Oracle of New Deva going to tell him that Arcane was now the Time Lord of New Deva and what would that mean in relation to Young Arcane and his place in all this?
So, after returning from giving Tech Noir's soul to Meridian in an earth purgatory (a place in between lifetimes for people who harm other people while alive in a body who might have some hope of being turned to the good in their karmic streams still?). (However, Arcane was thinking Tech Noir's soul might be close to the 2nd death (the death of a soul) from all the harm on multiple planets he had caused by now as a soul.
So, returning to New Deva that day he had summoned Arcane regarding the water Dragons Octavia and Brutus. And he said to Young Arcane that he wanted to ride Brutus with Young Arcane. Young Arcane said: "Why?"
Uncle Future (old Arcane said convincingly: "I want my family to see how riding double or triple on a water dragon is done."
Little did Young Arcane know he was in for.
So, Uncle Future let Young Arcane be the controlling rider and Young Arcane was showing off for Arcane now.
As they both left the water with Octavia matching Brutus' flight. Arcane Screamed in English: "Arcane I'm You on a different Timeline than you are on!"
Arcane fell off Brutus at this point because he knew this was really really serious and because he knew something really bad had happened that he was going to find out.
When Young Arcane fell off of Brutus he also fainted from the shock so Arcane jumped off of Brutus and summoned the Green Sphere to pick them both up in the air.
Uncle Future radioed Celeste: "There's been an accident. Arcane fell off at altitude so I summoned the green Sphere to rescue him and I joined him. I think we might have to put off riding the water dragons a few days because of this accident."
Celeste told the children that though Arcane wasn't injured that he fell off at altitude and could have been killed and was still unconscious.
Uncle Future and Young Arcane sat in the green sphere as young Arcane woke up.
Uncle Future (Old Arcane said as young Arcane woke up). "I'm sorry I had to tell you this that I'm you on a different timeline."
Young Arcane said, "Why aren't we married to Ah Ray In? So, these are our children?"
Old Arcane said, " Yes. Are you ready for the full Truth?"
Young Arcane's eyes rolled up into his head in dread and said, "Something really bad happened, didn't it?"
Old Arcane: "Yes. It was unbelievably bad but you and I saved New Deva from being taken over by Tech Noir."
Young Arcane was suddenly interested and said, "Oh. I've heard of him. He's crazy. But he's still young, almost as young as me."
Old Arcane: "Yes. But he becomes more dangerous on the 1st timeline."
Young Arcane being much more soldier like now as he was trained to be as an Eagle Sea Scout said, " AH Ray In dies doesn't she?"
Old Arcane Nods his head and says: "Celeste is her next reincarnation. I met her on earth in the deep past."
Young Arcane: "This makes completely sense then. You married Ah Ray In's next incarnation. How did Ah Ray IN die on my timeline?"
Old Arcane: "She was invited as a diplomat to Isfahel and she decided to go. She was tortured to death by Tech Noir. I went with her and they captured me and separated me from her so I couldn't save her. The banished me to another time on Earth."
Young Arcane: "How did we defeat Tech Noir?"
Old Arcane: "Meridian of Earth trained me as an Earth Saint in addition to being a new Devan Saint."
Young Arcane: "And he gave you this Green Sphere?"
Old ARcane: "Yes. it can to go any space and time."
Young Arcane: "This is really amazing!"
But then the consequences of everything were appalling to him.
Old Arcane said, "Let me give you the last 50 years of my life since then."
Young Arcane said, "How old are you?"
Old Arcane: "I'm at least 100 years old right now but as a member of the Galactic Time Guard with my designation as a Galactic Saint I likely might never die."
Young Arcane: "Wow! But what happens to me now? You have done everything that I was supposed to do. What do I do?"
Old Arcane: "I think you might become the Time Lord of New Deva. Would you like to meet the Time Lord of Earth at some point?"
Young Arcane: "Sure. When?"
Old Arcane. "We need to go to the Oracle of New Deva right now so I can straighten some of this out."
Young Arcane: "I'm okay with this. Does Ah Ray IN know all this too in this time line?"
Old Arcane: "This is why I realized today I had to tell you of all this because she wouldn't be allowed by Betrothal conventions on New Deva to keep this from you. And it wasn't her place to tell you it was mine, one of your future selves?"
Young Arcane: "How many of us are there?"
Old Arcane: "I'm not sure right now."
Young Arcane started laughing at this point. He thought this was amazingly funny that the Galactic Time Guard Arcane didn't know how many Arcanes there might be now.
Immediately they arrived at the Office of the Oracle of New Deva in his living quarters.
The Oracle said, "What is this Arcane?"
Old ARcane: "I telepathed as much as I could but I had to clue in Young Arcane into all the time changes."
The Oracle said, "Does he know everything?"
Old Arcane: "NO. He only knows about Ah Ray In's torture and death so far."
The Oracle looked into Young Arcane and said, "I think that's all he can contain for today."
Old ARcane said: "I abide by your Judgement then. However, I have a question for you. Do you foresee Young Arcane becoming Time Lord of Earth?
The Oracle said, "HE and I will work as Time Lord of Earth until he becomes 25 then he will be the first Time Lord of New Deva. I have discussed this already with the Galactic Sentience as well as His Oneness Time Lord of Earth how to set all this up."
The Oracle put Young Arcane to sleep with his mind and said, "Uncle Future, you need to let him rest I think he might need to sleep for a week to process all the changes to his timeline now."
Old Arcane said; "Whatever you think best for now since the two of you are now Time Lords of New Deva for now."
The Oracle said, "Thank you again for freeing both planets from Tech Noir, Arcane on however many timelines we now have!"
Old Arcane: "I didn't intend to create so many potential timelines."
The Oracle: "Well. It gives our culture more chances to survive now like Earth."
Old Arcane nodded and disappeared letting Young Arcane sleep.
Old Arcane returned to Celeste at his favorite underwater hotel to Celeste's Air Breather room and held her as the sun set and cried and she understood.
She knew Arcane could make really good decisions for himself and everyone around him but at a terrible cost internally. This was the way of all truly Great men and Women and she understood this as well or better than Old Arcane did.
Arcane then said through his tears: "Did I do the Right thing, Celeste?"
Celeste: "Everything I know about what you did was the right thing to do. Even the Galactic Sentience cannot fault you even when you added maybe a few time lines by accident. After all, he approved the first (new) timeline beyond the regular one. However, he's going to expect you to straighten out any kinks over time too. If there are snags you will be responsible to help the Oracle and Young Arcane work things out somehow."
Arcane began thinking strategically about all this and realized everything had changed now he was not only a resident of the original New Deva timeline, he was the resident of all New Deva Timelines.
Arcane laughed: "I just realized we could live in any timeline but the first one after I saved Isfahel and New Deva from Tech Noir now!"
Celeste cringed a little because she was sort of attached to living on earth now with her children and Arcane and said, "I don't want to live here more than 1/2 of the time, Arcane, but I do know it is very psychologically healthy for the children not to have to wear Reality shifting Belts all the time. That is a really hard thing for them to do every single day. Also, how are they going to feel if they date Earth born humans in the future? Will they only be able to date New Devans and even then be thought less than because they have surgically altered shorter tongues so they could speak English and other Earth languages effectively?"
Arcane said, "Celeste, I've obviously brought up a can of worms I'm not ready to deal with I realize right now."
Celeste laughed and said, "Neither am I. Let's just watch the sunset. We have the rest of our lives together to work all this out now."
They both sighed at this thought and watched the sunset together. The kids came up to see what was happening and watched the sunset too. It was beautiful.
About a week later the Oracle of New Deva Summoned Old Arcane.
So, Arcane visited the Oracle in his Green Sphere since this would likely be some kind of official business of some kind. So, he needed to be prepared literally for anything.
The Oracle and Young Arcane were there.
Old Arcane said, "How are you doing Arcane?"
Young Arcane: "I'm a lot different than before. For example, there are many Arcanes now not just one with this same soul. So, it looks sort of like we all are brothers working for the same ends."
Old Arcane smiled: "I had hoped for this outcome."
Young Arcane led Old Arcane into the chambers of the Oracle of New Deva.
The Oracle seemed sort of worried and asked young Arcane to close the door behind Old Arcane.
The Oracle: "I informed the Galactic Sentience about what had happened and he has decided he wants to train Young Arcane here to be a "Oneness" like "His Oneness of Earth" which might change how things work here on New Deva a lot in the future. It appears having more than one timeline is more complicated and less simple in a variety of ways."
Old Arcane: "Yes. I'm sorry this is the case. I've run into this sort of thing on earth already while training Time Cadres for the United Nations starting after World War II in the Swiss Alps in caverns under the Alps."
The Oracle: "Yes. The Galactic Sentience mentioned you had to do this because of the invention of atomic weapons on earth."
Old Arcane: "Well. It's a dicey business at best watching nukes go off and then changing time so people don't die. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only left intact to make sense of earthlings but many other nukes also went off between especially 1945 and 1955 or 1960 and ongoing. We just had to change time a lot."
The Oracle: "Nuclear weapons aren't allowed on New Deva."
Old Arcane: "Yes. It's true but one could consider Tech Noir to be a Time Nuclear bomb that had to be stopped."
The Oracle: "Yes. That's what the Galactic Sentience said too."
Old Arcane: "That's interesting that he sounds like I'm talking.
The Oracle said, "When you went to earth the Galactic Sentience downloaded all your memories since birth into his gigantic perception of the universe, so a part of him is now a direct duplicate of you, Arcane."
Arcane Shuddered: "Well. This is a full Creator. WE may all be Souls of creators incarnating into humanoid types of bodies but remember the Galactic Sentience is a full Creator soul which is sort of like 1 million or more human beings rolled into one. Or even more than that."
It was time for the Oracle to shudder at the thought.
The Oracle: "Yes. This is overwhelming to contemplate actually isn't it?"
Old Arcane: "Is it okay for young Arcane to listen to all this? It won't harm his future?"
The Oracle: "No. Arcane is becoming like an Emperor or King of New Deva because of his likely going through a training of a "Oneness".
Old Arcane: "Yes. His Oneness of Earth from Lemuria has talked to me a little about what that was like."
The Oracle: "There are no wars here Arcane now that you eliminated Tech Noir from the timeline. Do we really need a "Oneness"?
Old Arcane: "From a Galactic Time Guard perspective the answer would be 'yes'."
The Oracle: "Why?"
Old Arcane: "Well. It's sort of like this. When timelines start to get altered in any way from the original and you have the possibility of 2 or more timelines living constantly together, there are certain things that you need a Oneness for to watch out for. You See, a Oneness is usually given a Time Pool."
The Oracle: "What's a Time Pool?"
Old Arcane was on his biocom to The Galactic Time Guards near the center of the Galaxy asking for guidance here.
Yes. the answer came back "both the Oracle and Young Arcane do need to know about Time Pools since they are both going to be Time Lords of Earth at least until Young Arcane is 25 years of age.
Arcane sighed in relief.
Old Arcane: "I have been authorized by the Galactic Time Guard to share this with you because you both will be Time Lords of New Deva until young Arcane is installed as full Time Lord when he is 25 years of age.
The Oracle Looked worried again: "This has changed somewhat too. It seems that Young Arcane needs to be trained and his training will begin with His Oneness and you today."
Old Arcane looked startled but also understood what was happening too. A "Oneness" represents the Galaxy and the Galactic Sentience in a Satellite Government on whatever planet that "Oneness" is installed as Leader of the planet. Even the Oracle of New Deva would then have to answer to the "Oneness" that 'Young Arcane would represent.
Old Arcane: "Are you worrying that New Deva just lost it's sovereignty because of me and Ah Ray In and my saving her life on the first time line?"
The Oracle: "Yes."
Old Arcane: "But it was never my intention to do this."
The Oracle: "May I speak privately to you about this Old ARcane?"
Old Arcane: "Yes."
The Oracle: "I think that it's possible that the Galactic Sentience knew that when Tech Noir killed Ah Ray In that he might have suspected that this might be the end outcome."
Old Arcane: "That's quite possible. There is no mind presently as developed and relatively speaking more developed not retired at present in the Galaxy that is a Creator."
The Oracle: "What do you think about all this?"
Old Arcane: "Well. Speaking to you as a Galactic Saint I would have to say that everything is constantly changing in the Galaxy in all sorts of ways. And for whatever the reason new time lines get created anywhere it is much safer for the survival of the Galaxy that a "Oneness" be there to supervise that is perfectly in sync with the Galactic Sentience in some ways."
The Oracle: "He says the Onenesses of all these thousands of planets are sort of like his children."
Old Arcane: "From what I've seen this is kind of how it works. For example, I just learned recently that people who are too polite in the wrong ways sometimes are incinerated on the spot by the Galactic Sentience."
The Oracle: "It's about having the clarity of truth to where any even white lies are not acceptable to the Galactic Sentience. I can understand that from speaking with him at length.
Old Arcane: "In some ways you are much like a "Oneness" yourself and all the previous Oracles of New Deva were too. Just to be able to communicate with him without incineration you have learned how to communicate effectively with him just like "His Oneness" of Earth."
The Oracle nodded. He let out a sigh realizing that he and all the previous Oracles of new Deva had already learned to be "Onenesses". He could let it all go now.
Old Arcane: "You are defending the realm of New Deva, Oracle. Don't be too hard on yourself.
All this has to be done."
The Oracle: "I can let it all go now that I fully understand it enough."
Old Arcane: "Good".
Now that we solved this problem somewhat can I explain to you and Young Arcane what a "Time Pool" is?
The Oracle and Young Arcane Nodded because they were in perfect psychic sync which was good for now. It allowed them to communicate telepathically without interrupting Old Arcane or anything else that was going on in the present.
Old Arcane: "Well. Imagine something that is basically the size of a small pool only it is a special kind of technology."
The Oracle: "So, it is literally a pool of some kind?"
Old Arcane: "Well. It can be. Or I suppose you could turn a Flat Screen of Earth that is sometimes used for TV in the near future that could be as big as a building into one too.
The Oracle: "So, the pool can be any size?"
Old Arcane: "It depends upon the need and how many people need to see time changes in real time. One of the reasons it's called a "Time Pool" is that it registers "Time Waves" which are like waves on the ocean but they travel through time instead of across an ocean."
The Oracle: "So a time pool doesn't just see one time it sees all time on a planet?"
Old ARcane: "It can be set up to do almost anything. But, it's most useful aspect is that it can track the source of unwanted anomalies in time. So, like if a Space alien criminal gets to earth or to New Deva he can be tracked down by the anomalies he or she or it would naturally create by being there."
"So, eventually that space criminal could be tracked down and removed one way or another."
The Oracle: "What about Earth or New Devan Criminals?"
Old Arcane: "Same thing. They cannot hide from a time pool either. However, there are only certain circumstances that we would interfere with a EArth or New Devan Born criminal."
The Oracle: "Why is that?"
Old Arcane: "Because of karma and souls. If we over regulate no one learns anything while incarnated in a physical form anywhere."
The Oracle Nodded and began to understand what a time pool was for.
Young Arcane looked kind of ill. This was too much for a teenager to take in fully at least yet.
Old Arcane looked at Young ARcane and said, "Are you okay?"
Young Arcane being an honest teenager just said, "I have no idea what to do with this information."
Old Arcane and the Oracle just smiled at this. Old Arcane said, "You will in time."
Young Arcane tried not to laugh because it seemed funny to him.
The Oracle said, "I think this is enough for now. You need to take Young Arcane to meet His Oneness if you have time today. His Oneness is waiting.
Old Arcane: "Have you both had lunch yet?"
The Oracle: "Why is that important?"
Old Arcane: "My green sphere can go to any place but also any time instantly. For example, I could wait 1000 years then come get Young Arcane this moment and take him to see "His Oneness" at literally any point in time or place."
The Oracle: "It must be pretty important this time. His Oneness of Earth is coming right now in his Blue Sphere."
Old Arcane rolled his eyes and smiled again.
The Oracle: "Did you give him the blue sphere?"
Old Arcane: "No. Meridian on earth did but I helped make it happen by asking Meridian for him."
The Oracle: "Amazing!"

Celeste Weaver's Sister from a Previous Life
This will be a part of the Memories series of short sequels. So far, I like what I've written here but it isn't edited. I just had a lot of fun writing it.
The time: long after Celeste has passed on and Arcane's and her children have died of old age. Their grandchildren own their Swiss Estate now and Arcane just has his New York apartment, his cabin on Mt. Shasta for skiing, and his home in southern California. In this segment he is visiting his parents when he was only 15. He won't tell his young self that he is him because that would harm time. So to his young self he is known as nickname "Uncle Future" member of the Elite Galactic Time Guard. At this point young 15 year old Arcane is upset that he can't tell his friends about his illustrious uncle because they can't know that Arcane is time Guard.
So young Arcane calls Ah Ray In's sister, Prophetess, to console him. And because she is a total empath she knows what anyone is thinking and who they are whether they tell her or not. Though Ah Ray IN and her sister Prophetesss look almost like twins as many sisters do, they are several years apart and she is Arcane's same age, so they are good buddies as Arcane is expected one day to marry her sister, Ah Ray IN, so they are like a real sister and brother in anticipation of this.
Prophetess is like Arcane's counselor in some ways and thinks of him as a brother. She said, "What's wrong, Arcane?" OH. My very amazing Uncle Future has a secret I can't tell." Prophetess thought a moment and said, "Oh. That's amazing I can see what it is!"
Arcane looked almost angry and said, "YOu know everything about everyone. I almost think you would know if I had a wet dream!" Prophetess did but she blushed then and said, "I won't talk about things like that with you, Arcane. That's not proper on our planet to discuss that at our age. That would only be appropriate if we were husband and wife and even then only under certain understood conditions!"
Arcane said, "I'm Sorry, Prophetess. It's just that sometimes I get jealous of the directions your gifts go."
Prophetess said, "That's nothing. I"m 100 times as jealous of you than you are of me. You get to be a planet saver. People almost think you are like a Jesus or Buddha!"
Arcane said, "It's not like that at all Prophetess. It's like I may have to die to save this planet like the first Arcane. It means I may have to give my whole life up so others can live!"
Prophetess felt ashamed now. She said, "I'm so sorry Arcane. My gifts of knowing what everyone thinks and feels all the time is supposed to be really great, but most of the time I find it mostly to be a bother. Look at you right now. You call me over to read your mind because you aren't allowed to tell me what's in there but in even thinking about you I already know. And now, because I am aware of that and your Uncle Future I also, now know stuff I can't tell you, either."
Young Arcane looked into Prophetess and said, "OH my God! HE Is ME, isn't he?" Prophetess really was upset this time and said so. "Arcane you can't know that! You will upset time if you know that now!" Arcane nodded and said, "Can you remove that certainty from my mind?" Prophetess said, "I think I can. Let me try."
Soon Arcane popped into awareness and didn't know what happened. Prophetess said, "ARe you okay, ARcane?" Arcane said, "What just happened!" He was sort of angry like something had been stolen from him. Prophetess just said, "We were playing a mind game and you just went catatonic."
ARcane sensed that she was lying but that her motivation was good about whatever was going on. He let it pass but no longer knew (for sure at least) that Uncle Future was ARcane grown up or not.
Prophetess said, "Will you introduce me to Uncle Future?"
Young Arcane said, "Okay" sort of nonchalantly.
They walked into the other room there on the planet New Deva to his parents living room. Uncle Future was speaking in English to Arcane's parents.
Uncle Future(Old Arcane) looked at Prophetess and was horrified. He remembered who this was. This was Ah Ray In's sister PRophetess. She looked so much like Ah Ray IN. Old ARcane was terrified because of all the issues that came up from losing his real wife Celeste Weaver(Ah Ray IN's reincarnation) after a 1000+ year marriage on earth.
He found his senses reeling and Prophetess was right there with him. Arcane introduced Prophetess to Old ARcane(Uncle Future) and for some reason he felt jealous when they shook hands in the old way of Earth. Arcane just didn't like Uncle Future touching Prophetess in any way. After all, she was his friend, his future sister in law and his confident. What was happening here anyway?
Prophetess was entranced because she had just met the man she instantly planned to marry. He was perfect for her. Maybe he was a few thousand years older than she expected. But he was a God in human form. When she looked inside his mind and heart she nearly fainted dead away right there on young Arcane's living room floor.
She made polite conversation. "What language are you all speaking?" Arcane's parents said, "Our hobby is trying to speak Old English from planet earth. It's not the prettiest of languages but it developed because traders from all over the North Sea and Europe met in parts of England to trade their wares from their ships. So it developed as a merchants language. So it became one of the best languages on earth to do business in."
Though Prophetess was swooning at Old Arcane's mere aura and presence she replied politely, "What an amazing sounding language. I'd like to learn it too. I have a gift for languages and may become a linguist." Arcane's father smiled. He saw the spark between Old ARcane and Prophetess and even the jealousy between young Arcane and Old Arcane over her shaking hands with Old Arcane.
Arcane said, "I could try and teach you when you have time." Prophetess said, "Well. As a 15 year old girl that might not be proper unless your wife was present."
Arcane said, "Sadly, my wife has died but maybe young Arcane or his parents might be present while I instruct you."
Arcane's parents agreed but young ARcane wasn't as sure.
Suddenly Prophetess said telepathically to ARcane, "ARcane. Please come back in three years and speak with me."
Arcane was shocked at this but instantly said telepathically, "Okay." He knew she was pledging herself to him in this way. For some odd reason he couldn't turn her away from this pledge. He was oddly pleased with this too.
He said to her telepathically, "Thanks for reprogramming young Arcane's mind so he isn't sure he is me."
Prophetess replied telepathically, "It was necessary for ARcane to become World Saver. It was the only patriotic thing to do."
Old Arcane smiled.
Though all present knew some telepathic communication was going on between Prophetess and Arcane it wasn't polite to interfere with these things in their culture. So even if they knew what it was about they wouldn't talk about it.
So within a few days when ARcane returned to his Cabin on Earth he had a realization. he realized that Prophetess was the same soul as Celeste and Ah Ray IN. "How could Celeste have known?", he thought to himself. "She keeps coming back to me in all sorts of ways I never could have predicted."
When he was ready to deal with Prophetess again, Old ARcane returned as Uncle Future. This time Young ARcane and Prophetess were both 18, since they always were the same age on New Deva. When ARcane arrived he asked young Arcane to call up Prophetess so he could give them both an English lesson. Young Arcane frowned and said, "You're going to Marry her aren't you?" Old Arcane was taken aback and said, "I'm not sure." Young Arcane said, "But it's a possibility isn't it?" Old Arcane said, "Yes. I suppose so."
When Prophetess arrived she brought her parents with her. After family greetings Prophetess said, "Mom and Dad I want you to meet my future husband." Arcane was taken aback because the two of them hadn't discussed this yet. However, it seems ARcane's parents and Prophetesses parents were well acquainted with this idea by now.
Prophetess' mother said, "We heard your wife died and we were sorry to hear that. Do you think you will be marrying our daughter?"
ARcane said, "I guess she is very set on this. I hadn't really discussed this with her but if she is set upon this path I would love to be her husband."
The parents accepted this as Old Arcane still looked very young(late 20's early 30s) and was obviously very well educated and wealthy since he traveled the universe. And since he was related to ARcane by being his Uncle, and since Young ARcane was to marry their older daughter, Ah Ray IN, it seemed like a good match.
But then the question that concerned him, "Where will you two live?" Arcane looked at Prophetess and said, "I live on earth in another time. However, I am capable of bringing her back here anytime she or you wish."
Prophetess' parents were speechless. This either meant Old Arcane was extremely rich or a member of the Galactic Government or both. They finally decided to themselves it was both.
Prophetess beamed and knew she had made the right decision.
When Uncle Future(Old Arcane) and Prophetess married on New Deva, young ARcane was best man. He said, "Uncle Future, making me best man at your wedding is one of the best things so far in my life. I'm honored.
Later when Prophetess and Old Arcane went to earth on Mt. Shasta to his cabin to spend some time together as man and wife, Arcane said, "Why did you chose me as your husband when you were 15 like that?" Prophetess said, "I am the Soul of Ah Ray In and Celeste Weaver your wife reborn as Prophetess." Arcane choked on his water at this point.
His senses reeled and he leaned against the wall. Prophetess came over and comforted him. She said, "Don't you remember I said to you when I died, 'one can have too many lives but never too many loves?'" Arcane felt disabled and let her take him to their bed with a wonderful view of Mt. shasta's snow covered peak with lenticular clouds whisking by. He fell asleep grateful to be rescued by his wife's soul once again in a new form.
He was awakened promptly at 6 am the next morning by Biocom. Biocom said, "Arcane. I'm required by Galactic Law to inform you that your new wife, Prophetess must not be seen by any earth born human the way she naturally looks on New Deva.
Arcane both happy and groggy said, "Yes. I was expecting this. I don't want her physically modified like I was since she is not a Galactic Operative, Yet. She is just the wife of a Galactic Operative on duty at present. So, she only needs to wear an "appearance changer" so she appears to be earth human even though she isn't. I want her to stay the way I remember her and her sister Ah ray In looked. I'm nostalgic for my old life on New Deva. Seeing her with lavender skin, gold irises, visible gills on her neck and white lavender hair and even the 50% longer tongue and webs between her fingers and toes makes me feel like I'm still living on my home planet, New Deva. I have served the galaxy well so I feel I'm owed this."
Biocom said, "Wait a Moment while I consult with Galactic Central." Arcane said, "Okay."
Biocom came back and said, "It will be as you wish. However, now we have to fill in the blanks in regard to earth so they don't suspect Prophetess in not being an earth born earthling."
Arcane said, "So. It's agreed that she doesn't have to be modified physicaly in any way?" Biocom said, "Yes." Arcane then said, "And that I have the responsibility of repairing any problems with time in case her technology that makes her appear as an earthling fails?" Biocom said, "That's correct. However, what do you want her to look like?"
Arcane said, "What?"
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
Arcane thought about this. "Oh Yes. When she is not with me alone, you mean?"
Biocom said, "Well. It is dangerous almost anywhere on earth to not be looking human even inside a house unless you are in altered time."
Arcane thought about this. "Yes." he said, "That is unfortunate."
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
ARcane thought about this. He said, "She can't look like Celeste, can she?"
"NO. How could that be explained?"
Suddenly Arcane got very depressed. He had a great idea! "Let's let Prophetess to decide what she wants to look like on earth." Arcane allowed Prophetess when she woke up to talk to Biocom via an ear bud.
Biocom said, "Prophetess. Who do you want to look like?" Biocom could tell she wasn't happy about having to make this choice.
Note: At this point my wife tells me that after telling her this story she questions the essence of it. Her problem with it is that, "Why should ARcane whose wife Celeste just died within a couple of years, marry this 18 year old Prophetess?
My response to her was a few different things. First, because Prophetess saw into Old Arcane's mind she knew everything he ever did. Her knowledge of all this is a threat to her world's time line unraveling so she knew at that moment she either had to commit suicide or to leave the planet with Arcane. Off planet she would no longer be a danger to her planets future unfolding properly. It was her patriotic duty to leave New Deva as soon as possible. The earliest she could marry was age 18. She knew that Arcane would save her planet's time line.
Secondly, Arcane was the most amazing man she had ever met. When she looked into Arcane's mind and heart she saw the kindness and discipline of a saint. Though she could see Arcane's many wounds internally, he was saint like in his determination to do the best he could for everyone or die trying. She knew she would be an asset to this man just like she knew she would be a danger to her planet if she stayed on New Deva past age 18. So she married Arcane to save her planet's time line and because she knew she was the same soul as Celeste(Arcane's wife) and Ah Ray In, her sister and soon to be martyred and sainted sister.
(From Arcane's point of view) Arcane by this time in his several thousands of real time years sojourn on this galaxy and others as a Galactic Time Guard operative and Galactic Diplomat had learned to be in the moment. And by being in the moment Prophetess and he had found each other, and intuitively even though he didn't know at that moment who PRophetess was soul-wise, he was intuitive enough not to refuse her offer of betrothal and marriage as it occurred according to New Deva customs.
Also, it worked for him because taking care of her would keep him alive to help all those he could help in the Galaxy and beyond and she would take care of him too. end note.
Prophetess and Biocom after conferring a short while came up with something and ARcane was brought into their conversation. Prophetess began, "Arcane. I'd like your opinion on what Biocom and Galactic Central and I came up with. First we morphed my New Devan looks through a medbot view screen of the type designed to physically modify operatives to look like the humanoids on whatever planet they are working on. Only in my case since I don't have to be physically altered there is a much wider choice. So we morphed me into what an appropriate educated upper class woman would like like on earth who looks pretty much like me. Then we added in Ah Ray In's looks and Celeste's looks for highlights to help you with the familiarity thing subconsciously. Then we all looked deeper and I made the final choice from about 100 basic variations and we have brought it down to 5 to 10 choices. We just wanted you to participate at this point."
Arcane said, "Okay. Since I like long hair and blue eyes with a golden phaze to them like we have on New Deva, I choose these three. Of those three I choose the one with the long eyelashes that looks like she is smiling or smirking all the time."
Prophetess said, "NO. That will attract to many males. Remember I'm only 18 and I have to worry about such things still."
Arcane said, "You know, you could appear to be about 27 to early thirties like I do. People would give you more respect if you did that."
Prophetess said, "NO. They would expect too much of me. I need to grow into that. However, since I'm extremely mature for my age I might be able to pull off maybe being 21 to 25 years old." Biocom adjusted the appearance to that age range including dress for that age group. He also plugged the program into the latest affluent but diplomatic dress for her as her program appeared to slowly age her illusion over the years. In this way if Prophetess wanted for example to be naked or barefoot it wouldn't matter because everyone would see the illusion of her being dressed and perfectly coifed and experience it if they shook her hand or even brushed up against her.
Arcane said, "Yes. Because you won't just look like a teenager, now I won't feel I'm robbing the cradle so much with you when we walk down the street together. People will just think I'm a very lucky fellow."
Prophetess beamed at this thought. She said, "Okay Biocom. I think we have found it. Wait a minute, though. Arcane?" Arcane said, "Yes Dear?" She definitely like the sound of him saying that. "We are both from a water planet. When do you retreat into the water?" ARcane said, "Well. Since Celeste was from a humanistic planet but not a planet of aquamen and aquawomen and children we just swam on the surface mostly. But if I'm visiting Hawaii I generate a false appearance of a snorkler or SCUBA diver but since my gills still work if I undisguise them, I swim with the fishes au naturel."
Prophetess said, "OH, Can we do that?" Biocom said, "Yes. I'll add that illusion to your appearance generator." Prophetess asked, "Is the appearance generator water proof?" "Yes" said Biocom, "and not only that it is a security device too. If it fails it automatically suspends time and puts you in stasis. So what you see is everyone else alive as still. That wouldn't apply to Arcane, though, since he is your designated time protector. Also, it suspends time if there is a potential security threat of any kind."
"One more thing", Biocom spoke up. "New Devan will be replaced with acceptable English or any other language used anywhere you then are that can be properly explained. In other words, if there is no record on earth known that you speak more than one language how can you speak them?"
Arcane said, "Then her records need to show that she speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, and German. In this way she demonstrates that she has lived all over. This kind of person is very common among the educated of both North America and Europe so wherever she is she will fit right in." Prophetess was a little confused at this point and said, "What language will I hear?"
Biocom chipped in, "You will hear your New Devan dialect of course." Prophetess said,"Then since ARcane and I speak telepathically it will look like we never speak. Is that a problem?" If Biocom was allowed to laugh then he would have because she demonstrated her naivete strongly in this moment, and said politely, "Prophetess. The visual and sound projector is a sentient form that controls all that is seen and heard. A visual and sound recording is retained of what it displays as well as what you are thinking and saying in New Devan. This can be played back and you can modify what it does in the future as you wish!" Prophetess said, "I would like that until I get used to what is expected of me while living here on earth in the various cultures here."
Arcane looked at Prophetess. She reminded him so much of Ah Ray IN and Celeste combined. But since her life experience and abilities so far were so different than theirs had been she was her own unique self. Arcane wondered where Prophetess' life would take her and him. They would soon find out.
Since more people are reading this I realized it might be helpful to have this button as well which is about Old Arcane and Prophetess' adventures together:
The time: long after Celeste has passed on and Arcane's and her children have died of old age. Their grandchildren own their Swiss Estate now and Arcane just has his New York apartment, his cabin on Mt. Shasta for skiing, and his home in southern California. In this segment he is visiting his parents when he was only 15. He won't tell his young self that he is him because that would harm time. So to his young self he is known as nickname "Uncle Future" member of the Elite Galactic Time Guard. At this point young 15 year old Arcane is upset that he can't tell his friends about his illustrious uncle because they can't know that Arcane is time Guard.
So young Arcane calls Ah Ray In's sister, Prophetess, to console him. And because she is a total empath she knows what anyone is thinking and who they are whether they tell her or not.

Prophetess did but she blushed then and said, "I won't talk about things like that with you, Arcane. That's not proper on our planet to discuss that at our age. That would only be appropriate if we were husband and wife and even then only under certain understood conditions!"
Arcane said, "I'm Sorry, Prophetess. It's just that sometimes I get jealous of the directions your gifts go."
Prophetess said, "That's nothing. I"m 100 times as jealous of you than you are of me. You get to be a planet saver. People almost think you are like a Jesus or Buddha!"
Arcane said, "It's not like that at all Prophetess. It's like I may have to die to save this planet like the first Arcane. It means I may have to give my whole life up so others can live!"
Prophetess felt ashamed now. She said, "I'm so sorry Arcane. My gifts of knowing what everyone thinks and feels all the time is supposed to be really great, but most of the time I find it mostly to be a bother. Look at you right now. You call me over to read your mind because you aren't allowed to tell me what's in there but in even thinking about you I already know. And now, because I am aware of that and your Uncle Future I also, now know stuff I can't tell you, either."
Young Arcane looked into Prophetess and said, "OH my God! HE Is ME, isn't he?" Prophetess really was upset this time and said so. "Arcane you can't know that! You will upset time if you know that now!" Arcane nodded and said, "Can you remove that certainty from my mind?" Prophetess said, "I think I can. Let me try."
Soon Arcane popped into awareness and didn't know what happened. Prophetess said, "ARe you okay, ARcane?" Arcane said, "What just happened!" He was sort of angry like something had been stolen from him. Prophetess just said, "We were playing a mind game and you just went catatonic."
ARcane sensed that she was lying but that her motivation was good about whatever was going on. He let it pass but no longer knew (for sure at least) that Uncle Future was ARcane grown up or not.
Prophetess said, "Will you introduce me to Uncle Future?"
Young Arcane said, "Okay" sort of nonchalantly.
They walked into the other room there on the planet New Deva to his parents living room. Uncle Future was speaking in English to Arcane's parents.
Uncle Future(Old Arcane) looked at Prophetess and was horrified. He remembered who this was. This was Ah Ray In's sister PRophetess. She looked so much like Ah Ray IN. Old ARcane was terrified because of all the issues that came up from losing his real wife Celeste Weaver(Ah Ray IN's reincarnation) after a 1000+ year marriage on earth.

Arcane said, "Sadly, my wife has died but maybe young Arcane or his parents might be present while I instruct you."
Arcane's parents agreed but young ARcane wasn't as sure.
Suddenly Prophetess said telepathically to ARcane, "ARcane. Please come back in three years and speak with me."
Arcane was shocked at this but instantly said telepathically, "Okay." He knew she was pledging herself to him in this way. For some odd reason he couldn't turn her away from this pledge. He was oddly pleased with this too.
He said to her telepathically, "Thanks for reprogramming young Arcane's mind so he isn't sure he is me."
Prophetess replied telepathically, "It was necessary for ARcane to become World Saver. It was the only patriotic thing to do."
Old Arcane smiled.
Though all present knew some telepathic communication was going on between Prophetess and Arcane it wasn't polite to interfere with these things in their culture. So even if they knew what it was about they wouldn't talk about it.
So within a few days when ARcane returned to his Cabin on Earth he had a realization. he realized that Prophetess was the same soul as Celeste and Ah Ray IN. "How could Celeste have known?", he thought to himself. "She keeps coming back to me in all sorts of ways I never could have predicted."

And since he was related to ARcane by being his Uncle, and since Young ARcane was to marry their older daughter, Ah Ray IN, it seemed like a good match.
But then the question that concerned him, "Where will you two live?" Arcane looked at Prophetess and said, "I live on earth in another time. However, I am capable of bringing her back here anytime she or you wish."
Prophetess' parents were speechless. This either meant Old Arcane was extremely rich or a member of the Galactic Government or both. They finally decided to themselves it was both.
Prophetess beamed and knew she had made the right decision.
When Uncle Future(Old Arcane) and Prophetess married on New Deva, young ARcane was best man. He said, "Uncle Future, making me best man at your wedding is one of the best things so far in my life. I'm honored.
Later when Prophetess and Old Arcane went to earth on Mt. Shasta to his cabin to spend some time together as man and wife, Arcane said, "Why did you chose me as your husband when you were 15 like that?" Prophetess said, "I am the Soul of Ah Ray In and Celeste Weaver your wife reborn as Prophetess." Arcane choked on his water at this point.
His senses reeled and he leaned against the wall. Prophetess came over and comforted him. She said, "Don't you remember I said to you when I died, 'one can have too many lives but never too many loves?'" Arcane felt disabled and let her take him to their bed with a wonderful view of Mt. shasta's snow covered peak with lenticular clouds whisking by. He fell asleep grateful to be rescued by his wife's soul once again in a new form.
He was awakened promptly at 6 am the next morning by Biocom. Biocom said, "Arcane. I'm required by Galactic Law to inform you that your new wife, Prophetess must not be seen by any earth born human the way she naturally looks on New Deva.
Arcane both happy and groggy said, "Yes. I was expecting this. I don't want her physically modified like I was since she is not a Galactic Operative, Yet. She is just the wife of a Galactic Operative on duty at present. So, she only needs to wear an "appearance changer" so she appears to be earth human even though she isn't. I want her to stay the way I remember her and her sister Ah ray In looked. I'm nostalgic for my old life on New Deva. Seeing her with lavender skin, gold irises, visible gills on her neck and white lavender hair and even the 50% longer tongue and webs between her fingers and toes makes me feel like I'm still living on my home planet, New Deva. I have served the galaxy well so I feel I'm owed this."
Biocom said, "Wait a Moment while I consult with Galactic Central." Arcane said, "Okay."
Biocom came back and said, "It will be as you wish. However, now we have to fill in the blanks in regard to earth so they don't suspect Prophetess in not being an earth born earthling."
Arcane said, "So. It's agreed that she doesn't have to be modified physicaly in any way?" Biocom said, "Yes." Arcane then said, "And that I have the responsibility of repairing any problems with time in case her technology that makes her appear as an earthling fails?" Biocom said, "That's correct. However, what do you want her to look like?"
Arcane said, "What?"
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
Arcane thought about this. "Oh Yes. When she is not with me alone, you mean?"
Biocom said, "Well. It is dangerous almost anywhere on earth to not be looking human even inside a house unless you are in altered time."
Arcane thought about this. "Yes." he said, "That is unfortunate."
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
ARcane thought about this. He said, "She can't look like Celeste, can she?"
"NO. How could that be explained?"
Suddenly Arcane got very depressed. He had a great idea! "Let's let Prophetess to decide what she wants to look like on earth." Arcane allowed Prophetess when she woke up to talk to Biocom via an ear bud.
Biocom said, "Prophetess. Who do you want to look like?" Biocom could tell she wasn't happy about having to make this choice.
Note: At this point my wife tells me that after telling her this story she questions the essence of it. Her problem with it is that, "Why should ARcane whose wife Celeste just died within a couple of years, marry this 18 year old Prophetess?
My response to her was a few different things. First, because Prophetess saw into Old Arcane's mind she knew everything he ever did. Her knowledge of all this is a threat to her world's time line unraveling so she knew at that moment she either had to commit suicide or to leave the planet with Arcane. Off planet she would no longer be a danger to her planets future unfolding properly. It was her patriotic duty to leave New Deva as soon as possible. The earliest she could marry was age 18. She knew that Arcane would save her planet's time line.
Secondly, Arcane was the most amazing man she had ever met. When she looked into Arcane's mind and heart she saw the kindness and discipline of a saint. Though she could see Arcane's many wounds internally, he was saint like in his determination to do the best he could for everyone or die trying. She knew she would be an asset to this man just like she knew she would be a danger to her planet if she stayed on New Deva past age 18. So she married Arcane to save her planet's time line and because she knew she was the same soul as Celeste(Arcane's wife) and Ah Ray In, her sister and soon to be martyred and sainted sister.
(From Arcane's point of view) Arcane by this time in his several thousands of real time years sojourn on this galaxy and others as a Galactic Time Guard operative and Galactic Diplomat had learned to be in the moment. And by being in the moment Prophetess and he had found each other, and intuitively even though he didn't know at that moment who PRophetess was soul-wise, he was intuitive enough not to refuse her offer of betrothal and marriage as it occurred according to New Deva customs.
Also, it worked for him because taking care of her would keep him alive to help all those he could help in the Galaxy and beyond and she would take care of him too. end note.
Prophetess and Biocom after conferring a short while came up with something and ARcane was brought into their conversation. Prophetess began, "Arcane. I'd like your opinion on what Biocom and Galactic Central and I came up with. First we morphed my New Devan looks through a medbot view screen of the type designed to physically modify operatives to look like the humanoids on whatever planet they are working on. Only in my case since I don't have to be physically altered there is a much wider choice. So we morphed me into what an appropriate educated upper class woman would like like on earth who looks pretty much like me. Then we added in Ah Ray In's looks and Celeste's looks for highlights to help you with the familiarity thing subconsciously. Then we all looked deeper and I made the final choice from about 100 basic variations and we have brought it down to 5 to 10 choices. We just wanted you to participate at this point."
Arcane said, "Okay. Since I like long hair and blue eyes with a golden phaze to them like we have on New Deva, I choose these three. Of those three I choose the one with the long eyelashes that looks like she is smiling or smirking all the time."
Prophetess said, "NO. That will attract to many males. Remember I'm only 18 and I have to worry about such things still."
Arcane said, "You know, you could appear to be about 27 to early thirties like I do. People would give you more respect if you did that."
Prophetess said, "NO. They would expect too much of me. I need to grow into that. However, since I'm extremely mature for my age I might be able to pull off maybe being 21 to 25 years old." Biocom adjusted the appearance to that age range including dress for that age group. He also plugged the program into the latest affluent but diplomatic dress for her as her program appeared to slowly age her illusion over the years. In this way if Prophetess wanted for example to be naked or barefoot it wouldn't matter because everyone would see the illusion of her being dressed and perfectly coifed and experience it if they shook her hand or even brushed up against her.
Arcane said, "Yes. Because you won't just look like a teenager, now I won't feel I'm robbing the cradle so much with you when we walk down the street together. People will just think I'm a very lucky fellow."
Prophetess beamed at this thought. She said, "Okay Biocom. I think we have found it. Wait a minute, though. Arcane?" Arcane said, "Yes Dear?" She definitely like the sound of him saying that. "We are both from a water planet. When do you retreat into the water?" ARcane said, "Well. Since Celeste was from a humanistic planet but not a planet of aquamen and aquawomen and children we just swam on the surface mostly. But if I'm visiting Hawaii I generate a false appearance of a snorkler or SCUBA diver but since my gills still work if I undisguise them, I swim with the fishes au naturel."
Prophetess said, "OH, Can we do that?" Biocom said, "Yes. I'll add that illusion to your appearance generator." Prophetess asked, "Is the appearance generator water proof?" "Yes" said Biocom, "and not only that it is a security device too. If it fails it automatically suspends time and puts you in stasis. So what you see is everyone else alive as still. That wouldn't apply to Arcane, though, since he is your designated time protector. Also, it suspends time if there is a potential security threat of any kind."
"One more thing", Biocom spoke up. "New Devan will be replaced with acceptable English or any other language used anywhere you then are that can be properly explained. In other words, if there is no record on earth known that you speak more than one language how can you speak them?"
Arcane said, "Then her records need to show that she speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, and German. In this way she demonstrates that she has lived all over. This kind of person is very common among the educated of both North America and Europe so wherever she is she will fit right in." Prophetess was a little confused at this point and said, "What language will I hear?"
Biocom chipped in, "You will hear your New Devan dialect of course." Prophetess said,"Then since ARcane and I speak telepathically it will look like we never speak. Is that a problem?" If Biocom was allowed to laugh then he would have because she demonstrated her naivete strongly in this moment, and said politely, "Prophetess. The visual and sound projector is a sentient form that controls all that is seen and heard. A visual and sound recording is retained of what it displays as well as what you are thinking and saying in New Devan. This can be played back and you can modify what it does in the future as you wish!" Prophetess said, "I would like that until I get used to what is expected of me while living here on earth in the various cultures here."
Arcane looked at Prophetess. She reminded him so much of Ah Ray IN and Celeste combined. But since her life experience and abilities so far were so different than theirs had been she was her own unique self. Arcane wondered where Prophetess' life would take her and him. They would soon find out.
Since more people are reading this I realized it might be helpful to have this button as well which is about Old Arcane and Prophetess' adventures together:

Celeste Weaver's Sister from a Previous Life
This will be a part of the Memories series of short sequels. So far, I like what I've written here but it isn't edited. I just had a lot of fun writing it.
The time: long after Celeste has passed on and Arcane's and her children have died of old age. Their grandchildren own their Swiss Estate now and Arcane just has his New York apartment, his cabin on Mt. Shasta for skiing, and his home in southern California. In this segment he is visiting his parents when he was only 15. He won't tell his young self that he is him because that would harm time. So to his young self he is known as nickname "Uncle Future" member of the Elite Galactic Time Guard. At this point young 15 year old Arcane is upset that he can't tell his friends about his illustrious uncle because they can't know that Arcane is time Guard.
So young Arcane calls Ah Ray In's sister, Prophetess, to console him. And because she is a total empath she knows what anyone is thinking and who they are whether they tell her or not. Though Ah Ray IN and her sister Prophetesss look almost like twins as many sisters do, they are several years apart and she is Arcane's same age, so they are good buddies as Arcane is expected one day to marry her sister, Ah Ray IN, so they are like a real sister and brother in anticipation of this.
Prophetess is like Arcane's counselor in some ways and thinks of him as a brother. She said, "What's wrong, Arcane?" OH. My very amazing Uncle Future has a secret I can't tell." Prophetess thought a moment and said, "Oh. That's amazing I can see what it is!"
Arcane looked almost angry and said, "YOu know everything about everyone. I almost think you would know if I had a wet dream!" Prophetess did but she blushed then and said, "I won't talk about things like that with you, Arcane. That's not proper on our planet to discuss that at our age. That would only be appropriate if we were husband and wife and even then only under certain understood conditions!"
Arcane said, "I'm Sorry, Prophetess. It's just that sometimes I get jealous of the directions your gifts go."
Prophetess said, "That's nothing. I"m 100 times as jealous of you than you are of me. You get to be a planet saver. People almost think you are like a Jesus or Buddha!"
Arcane said, "It's not like that at all Prophetess. It's like I may have to die to save this planet like the first Arcane. It means I may have to give my whole life up so others can live!"
Prophetess felt ashamed now. She said, "I'm so sorry Arcane. My gifts of knowing what everyone thinks and feels all the time is supposed to be really great, but most of the time I find it mostly to be a bother. Look at you right now. You call me over to read your mind because you aren't allowed to tell me what's in there but in even thinking about you I already know. And now, because I am aware of that and your Uncle Future I also, now know stuff I can't tell you, either."
Young Arcane looked into Prophetess and said, "OH my God! HE Is ME, isn't he?" Prophetess really was upset this time and said so. "Arcane you can't know that! You will upset time if you know that now!" Arcane nodded and said, "Can you remove that certainty from my mind?" Prophetess said, "I think I can. Let me try."
Soon Arcane popped into awareness and didn't know what happened. Prophetess said, "ARe you okay, ARcane?" Arcane said, "What just happened!" He was sort of angry like something had been stolen from him. Prophetess just said, "We were playing a mind game and you just went catatonic."
ARcane sensed that she was lying but that her motivation was good about whatever was going on. He let it pass but no longer knew (for sure at least) that Uncle Future was ARcane grown up or not.
Prophetess said, "Will you introduce me to Uncle Future?"
Young Arcane said, "Okay" sort of nonchalantly.
They walked into the other room there on the planet New Deva to his parents living room. Uncle Future was speaking in English to Arcane's parents.
Uncle Future(Old Arcane) looked at Prophetess and was horrified. He remembered who this was. This was Ah Ray In's sister PRophetess. She looked so much like Ah Ray IN. Old ARcane was terrified because of all the issues that came up from losing his real wife Celeste Weaver(Ah Ray IN's reincarnation) after a 1000+ year marriage on earth.
He found his senses reeling and Prophetess was right there with him. Arcane introduced Prophetess to Old ARcane(Uncle Future) and for some reason he felt jealous when they shook hands in the old way of Earth. Arcane just didn't like Uncle Future touching Prophetess in any way. After all, she was his friend, his future sister in law and his confident. What was happening here anyway?
Prophetess was entranced because she had just met the man she instantly planned to marry. He was perfect for her. Maybe he was a few thousand years older than she expected. But he was a God in human form. When she looked inside his mind and heart she nearly fainted dead away right there on young Arcane's living room floor.
She made polite conversation. "What language are you all speaking?" Arcane's parents said, "Our hobby is trying to speak Old English from planet earth. It's not the prettiest of languages but it developed because traders from all over the North Sea and Europe met in parts of England to trade their wares from their ships. So it developed as a merchants language. So it became one of the best languages on earth to do business in."
Though Prophetess was swooning at Old Arcane's mere aura and presence she replied politely, "What an amazing sounding language. I'd like to learn it too. I have a gift for languages and may become a linguist." Arcane's father smiled. He saw the spark between Old ARcane and Prophetess and even the jealousy between young Arcane and Old Arcane over her shaking hands with Old Arcane.
Arcane said, "I could try and teach you when you have time." Prophetess said, "Well. As a 15 year old girl that might not be proper unless your wife was present."
Arcane said, "Sadly, my wife has died but maybe young Arcane or his parents might be present while I instruct you."
Arcane's parents agreed but young ARcane wasn't as sure.
Suddenly Prophetess said telepathically to ARcane, "ARcane. Please come back in three years and speak with me."
Arcane was shocked at this but instantly said telepathically, "Okay." He knew she was pledging herself to him in this way. For some odd reason he couldn't turn her away from this pledge. He was oddly pleased with this too.
He said to her telepathically, "Thanks for reprogramming young Arcane's mind so he isn't sure he is me."
Prophetess replied telepathically, "It was necessary for ARcane to become World Saver. It was the only patriotic thing to do."
Old Arcane smiled.
Though all present knew some telepathic communication was going on between Prophetess and Arcane it wasn't polite to interfere with these things in their culture. So even if they knew what it was about they wouldn't talk about it.
So within a few days when ARcane returned to his Cabin on Earth he had a realization. he realized that Prophetess was the same soul as Celeste and Ah Ray IN. "How could Celeste have known?", he thought to himself. "She keeps coming back to me in all sorts of ways I never could have predicted."
When he was ready to deal with Prophetess again, Old ARcane returned as Uncle Future. This time Young ARcane and Prophetess were both 18, since they always were the same age on New Deva. When ARcane arrived he asked young Arcane to call up Prophetess so he could give them both an English lesson. Young Arcane frowned and said, "You're going to Marry her aren't you?" Old Arcane was taken aback and said, "I'm not sure." Young Arcane said, "But it's a possibility isn't it?" Old Arcane said, "Yes. I suppose so."
When Prophetess arrived she brought her parents with her. After family greetings Prophetess said, "Mom and Dad I want you to meet my future husband." Arcane was taken aback because the two of them hadn't discussed this yet. However, it seems ARcane's parents and Prophetesses parents were well acquainted with this idea by now.
Prophetess' mother said, "We heard your wife died and we were sorry to hear that. Do you think you will be marrying our daughter?"
ARcane said, "I guess she is very set on this. I hadn't really discussed this with her but if she is set upon this path I would love to be her husband."
The parents accepted this as Old Arcane still looked very young(late 20's early 30s) and was obviously very well educated and wealthy since he traveled the universe. And since he was related to ARcane by being his Uncle, and since Young ARcane was to marry their older daughter, Ah Ray IN, it seemed like a good match.
But then the question that concerned him, "Where will you two live?" Arcane looked at Prophetess and said, "I live on earth in another time. However, I am capable of bringing her back here anytime she or you wish."
Prophetess' parents were speechless. This either meant Old Arcane was extremely rich or a member of the Galactic Government or both. They finally decided to themselves it was both.
Prophetess beamed and knew she had made the right decision.
When Uncle Future(Old Arcane) and Prophetess married on New Deva, young ARcane was best man. He said, "Uncle Future, making me best man at your wedding is one of the best things so far in my life. I'm honored.
Later when Prophetess and Old Arcane went to earth on Mt. Shasta to his cabin to spend some time together as man and wife, Arcane said, "Why did you chose me as your husband when you were 15 like that?" Prophetess said, "I am the Soul of Ah Ray In and Celeste Weaver your wife reborn as Prophetess." Arcane choked on his water at this point.
His senses reeled and he leaned against the wall. Prophetess came over and comforted him. She said, "Don't you remember I said to you when I died, 'one can have too many lives but never too many loves?'" Arcane felt disabled and let her take him to their bed with a wonderful view of Mt. shasta's snow covered peak with lenticular clouds whisking by. He fell asleep grateful to be rescued by his wife's soul once again in a new form.
He was awakened promptly at 6 am the next morning by Biocom. Biocom said, "Arcane. I'm required by Galactic Law to inform you that your new wife, Prophetess must not be seen by any earth born human the way she naturally looks on New Deva.
Arcane both happy and groggy said, "Yes. I was expecting this. I don't want her physically modified like I was since she is not a Galactic Operative, Yet. She is just the wife of a Galactic Operative on duty at present. So, she only needs to wear an "appearance changer" so she appears to be earth human even though she isn't. I want her to stay the way I remember her and her sister Ah ray In looked. I'm nostalgic for my old life on New Deva. Seeing her with lavender skin, gold irises, visible gills on her neck and white lavender hair and even the 50% longer tongue and webs between her fingers and toes makes me feel like I'm still living on my home planet, New Deva. I have served the galaxy well so I feel I'm owed this."
Biocom said, "Wait a Moment while I consult with Galactic Central." Arcane said, "Okay."
Biocom came back and said, "It will be as you wish. However, now we have to fill in the blanks in regard to earth so they don't suspect Prophetess in not being an earth born earthling."
Arcane said, "So. It's agreed that she doesn't have to be modified physicaly in any way?" Biocom said, "Yes." Arcane then said, "And that I have the responsibility of repairing any problems with time in case her technology that makes her appear as an earthling fails?" Biocom said, "That's correct. However, what do you want her to look like?"
Arcane said, "What?"
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
Arcane thought about this. "Oh Yes. When she is not with me alone, you mean?"
Biocom said, "Well. It is dangerous almost anywhere on earth to not be looking human even inside a house unless you are in altered time."
Arcane thought about this. "Yes." he said, "That is unfortunate."
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
ARcane thought about this. He said, "She can't look like Celeste, can she?"
"NO. How could that be explained?"
Suddenly Arcane got very depressed. He had a great idea! "Let's let Prophetess to decide what she wants to look like on earth." Arcane allowed Prophetess when she woke up to talk to Biocom via an ear bud.
Biocom said, "Prophetess. Who do you want to look like?" Biocom could tell she wasn't happy about having to make this choice.
Note: At this point my wife tells me that after telling her this story she questions the essence of it. Her problem with it is that, "Why should ARcane whose wife Celeste just died within a couple of years, marry this 18 year old Prophetess?
My response to her was a few different things. First, because Prophetess saw into Old Arcane's mind she knew everything he ever did. Her knowledge of all this is a threat to her world's time line unraveling so she knew at that moment she either had to commit suicide or to leave the planet with Arcane. Off planet she would no longer be a danger to her planets future unfolding properly. It was her patriotic duty to leave New Deva as soon as possible. The earliest she could marry was age 18. She knew that Arcane would save her planet's time line.
Secondly, Arcane was the most amazing man she had ever met. When she looked into Arcane's mind and heart she saw the kindness and discipline of a saint. Though she could see Arcane's many wounds internally, he was saint like in his determination to do the best he could for everyone or die trying. She knew she would be an asset to this man just like she knew she would be a danger to her planet if she stayed on New Deva past age 18. So she married Arcane to save her planet's time line and because she knew she was the same soul as Celeste(Arcane's wife) and Ah Ray In, her sister and soon to be martyred and sainted sister.
(From Arcane's point of view) Arcane by this time in his several thousands of real time years sojourn on this galaxy and others as a Galactic Time Guard operative and Galactic Diplomat had learned to be in the moment. And by being in the moment Prophetess and he had found each other, and intuitively even though he didn't know at that moment who PRophetess was soul-wise, he was intuitive enough not to refuse her offer of betrothal and marriage as it occurred according to New Deva customs.
Also, it worked for him because taking care of her would keep him alive to help all those he could help in the Galaxy and beyond and she would take care of him too. end note.
Prophetess and Biocom after conferring a short while came up with something and ARcane was brought into their conversation. Prophetess began, "Arcane. I'd like your opinion on what Biocom and Galactic Central and I came up with. First we morphed my New Devan looks through a medbot view screen of the type designed to physically modify operatives to look like the humanoids on whatever planet they are working on. Only in my case since I don't have to be physically altered there is a much wider choice. So we morphed me into what an appropriate educated upper class woman would like like on earth who looks pretty much like me. Then we added in Ah Ray In's looks and Celeste's looks for highlights to help you with the familiarity thing subconsciously. Then we all looked deeper and I made the final choice from about 100 basic variations and we have brought it down to 5 to 10 choices. We just wanted you to participate at this point."
Arcane said, "Okay. Since I like long hair and blue eyes with a golden phaze to them like we have on New Deva, I choose these three. Of those three I choose the one with the long eyelashes that looks like she is smiling or smirking all the time."

Prophetess said, "NO. They would expect too much of me. I need to grow into that. However, since I'm extremely mature for my age I might be able to pull off maybe being 21 to 25 years old." Biocom adjusted the appearance to that age range including dress for that age group. He also plugged the program into the latest affluent but diplomatic dress for her as her program appeared to slowly age her illusion over the years. In this way if Prophetess wanted for example to be naked or barefoot it wouldn't matter because everyone would see the illusion of her being dressed and perfectly coifed and experience it if they shook her hand or even brushed up against her.
Arcane said, "Yes. Because you won't just look like a teenager, now I won't feel I'm robbing the cradle so much with you when we walk down the street together. People will just think I'm a very lucky fellow."
Prophetess beamed at this thought. She said, "Okay Biocom. I think we have found it. Wait a minute, though. Arcane?" Arcane said, "Yes Dear?" She definitely like the sound of him saying that. "We are both from a water planet. When do you retreat into the water?" ARcane said, "Well. Since Celeste was from a humanistic planet but not a planet of aquamen and aquawomen and children we just swam on the surface mostly. But if I'm visiting Hawaii I generate a false appearance of a snorkler or SCUBA diver but since my gills still work if I undisguise them, I swim with the fishes au naturel."
Prophetess said, "OH, Can we do that?" Biocom said, "Yes. I'll add that illusion to your appearance generator." Prophetess asked, "Is the appearance generator water proof?" "Yes" said Biocom, "and not only that it is a security device too. If it fails it automatically suspends time and puts you in stasis. So what you see is everyone else alive as still. That wouldn't apply to Arcane, though, since he is your designated time protector. Also, it suspends time if there is a potential security threat of any kind."
"One more thing", Biocom spoke up. "New Devan will be replaced with acceptable English or any other language used anywhere you then are that can be properly explained. In other words, if there is no record on earth known that you speak more than one language how can you speak them?"

If Biocom was allowed to laugh then he would have because she demonstrated her naivete strongly in this moment, and said politely, "Prophetess.

Prophetess said, "I would like that until I get used to what is expected of me while living here on earth in the various cultures here."
Arcane looked at Prophetess. She reminded him so much of Ah Ray IN and Celeste combined. But since her life experience and abilities so far were so different than theirs had been she was her own unique self. Arcane wondered where Prophetess' life would take her and him. They would soon find out.
Since more people are reading this I realized it might be helpful to have this button as well which is about Old Arcane and Prophetess' adventures together:
The time: long after Celeste has passed on and Arcane's and her children have died of old age. Their grandchildren own their Swiss Estate now and Arcane just has his New York apartment, his cabin on Mt. Shasta for skiing, and his home in southern California. In this segment he is visiting his parents when he was only 15. He won't tell his young self that he is him because that would harm time. So to his young self he is known as nickname "Uncle Future" member of the Elite Galactic Time Guard. At this point young 15 year old Arcane is upset that he can't tell his friends about his illustrious uncle because they can't know that Arcane is time Guard.
So young Arcane calls Ah Ray In's sister, Prophetess, to console him. And because she is a total empath she knows what anyone is thinking and who they are whether they tell her or not.

Prophetess said, "That's nothing. I"m 100 times as jealous of you than you are of me. You get to be a planet saver. People almost think you are like a Jesus or Buddha!"
Arcane said, "It's not like that at all Prophetess. It's like I may have to die to save this planet like the first Arcane. It means I may have to give my whole life up so others can live!"
Prophetess felt ashamed now. She said, "I'm so sorry Arcane. My gifts of knowing what everyone thinks and feels all the time is supposed to be really great, but most of the time I find it mostly to be a bother. Look at you right now. You call me over to read your mind because you aren't allowed to tell me what's in there but in even thinking about you I already know. And now, because I am aware of that and your Uncle Future I also, now know stuff I can't tell you, either."
Young Arcane looked into Prophetess and said, "OH my God! HE Is ME, isn't he?" Prophetess really was upset this time and said so. "Arcane you can't know that! You will upset time if you know that now!" Arcane nodded and said, "Can you remove that certainty from my mind?" Prophetess said, "I think I can. Let me try."
Soon Arcane popped into awareness and didn't know what happened. Prophetess said, "ARe you okay, ARcane?" Arcane said, "What just happened!" He was sort of angry like something had been stolen from him. Prophetess just said, "We were playing a mind game and you just went catatonic."
ARcane sensed that she was lying but that her motivation was good about whatever was going on. He let it pass but no longer knew (for sure at least) that Uncle Future was ARcane grown up or not.
Prophetess said, "Will you introduce me to Uncle Future?"
Young Arcane said, "Okay" sort of nonchalantly.
They walked into the other room there on the planet New Deva to his parents living room. Uncle Future was speaking in English to Arcane's parents.
Uncle Future(Old Arcane) looked at Prophetess and was horrified. He remembered who this was. This was Ah Ray In's sister PRophetess. She looked so much like Ah Ray IN. Old ARcane was terrified because of all the issues that came up from losing his real wife Celeste Weaver(Ah Ray IN's reincarnation) after a 1000+ year marriage on earth.
He found his senses reeling and Prophetess was right there with him. Arcane introduced Prophetess to Old ARcane(Uncle Future) and for some reason he felt jealous when they shook hands in the old way of Earth. Arcane just didn't like Uncle Future touching Prophetess in any way. After all, she was his friend, his future sister in law and his confident. What was happening here anyway?
Prophetess was entranced because she had just met the man she instantly planned to marry. He was perfect for her. Maybe he was a few thousand years older than she expected. But he was a God in human form. When she looked inside his mind and heart she nearly fainted dead away right there on young Arcane's living room floor.
She made polite conversation. "What language are you all speaking?" Arcane's parents said, "Our hobby is trying to speak Old English from planet earth. It's not the prettiest of languages but it developed because traders from all over the North Sea and Europe met in parts of England to trade their wares from their ships. So it developed as a merchants language. So it became one of the best languages on earth to do business in."
Though Prophetess was swooning at Old Arcane's mere aura and presence she replied politely, "What an amazing sounding language. I'd like to learn it too. I have a gift for languages and may become a linguist." Arcane's father smiled. He saw the spark between Old ARcane and Prophetess and even the jealousy between young Arcane and Old Arcane over her shaking hands with Old Arcane.
Arcane said, "I could try and teach you when you have time." Prophetess said, "Well. As a 15 year old girl that might not be proper unless your wife was present."
Arcane said, "Sadly, my wife has died but maybe young Arcane or his parents might be present while I instruct you."
Arcane's parents agreed but young ARcane wasn't as sure.
Suddenly Prophetess said telepathically to ARcane, "ARcane. Please come back in three years and speak with me."
Arcane was shocked at this but instantly said telepathically, "Okay." He knew she was pledging herself to him in this way. For some odd reason he couldn't turn her away from this pledge. He was oddly pleased with this too.
He said to her telepathically, "Thanks for reprogramming young Arcane's mind so he isn't sure he is me."
Prophetess replied telepathically, "It was necessary for ARcane to become World Saver. It was the only patriotic thing to do."
Old Arcane smiled.
Though all present knew some telepathic communication was going on between Prophetess and Arcane it wasn't polite to interfere with these things in their culture. So even if they knew what it was about they wouldn't talk about it.
So within a few days when ARcane returned to his Cabin on Earth he had a realization. he realized that Prophetess was the same soul as Celeste and Ah Ray IN. "How could Celeste have known?", he thought to himself. "She keeps coming back to me in all sorts of ways I never could have predicted."
When he was ready to deal with Prophetess again, Old ARcane returned as Uncle Future. This time Young ARcane and Prophetess were both 18, since they always were the same age on New Deva. When ARcane arrived he asked young Arcane to call up Prophetess so he could give them both an English lesson. Young Arcane frowned and said, "You're going to Marry her aren't you?" Old Arcane was taken aback and said, "I'm not sure." Young Arcane said, "But it's a possibility isn't it?" Old Arcane said, "Yes. I suppose so."
When Prophetess arrived she brought her parents with her. After family greetings Prophetess said, "Mom and Dad I want you to meet my future husband." Arcane was taken aback because the two of them hadn't discussed this yet. However, it seems ARcane's parents and Prophetesses parents were well acquainted with this idea by now.
Prophetess' mother said, "We heard your wife died and we were sorry to hear that. Do you think you will be marrying our daughter?"
ARcane said, "I guess she is very set on this. I hadn't really discussed this with her but if she is set upon this path I would love to be her husband."
The parents accepted this as Old Arcane still looked very young(late 20's early 30s) and was obviously very well educated and wealthy since he traveled the universe. And since he was related to ARcane by being his Uncle, and since Young ARcane was to marry their older daughter, Ah Ray IN, it seemed like a good match.
But then the question that concerned him, "Where will you two live?" Arcane looked at Prophetess and said, "I live on earth in another time. However, I am capable of bringing her back here anytime she or you wish."
Prophetess' parents were speechless. This either meant Old Arcane was extremely rich or a member of the Galactic Government or both. They finally decided to themselves it was both.
Prophetess beamed and knew she had made the right decision.
When Uncle Future(Old Arcane) and Prophetess married on New Deva, young ARcane was best man. He said, "Uncle Future, making me best man at your wedding is one of the best things so far in my life. I'm honored.
Later when Prophetess and Old Arcane went to earth on Mt. Shasta to his cabin to spend some time together as man and wife, Arcane said, "Why did you chose me as your husband when you were 15 like that?" Prophetess said, "I am the Soul of Ah Ray In and Celeste Weaver your wife reborn as Prophetess." Arcane choked on his water at this point.
His senses reeled and he leaned against the wall. Prophetess came over and comforted him. She said, "Don't you remember I said to you when I died, 'one can have too many lives but never too many loves?'" Arcane felt disabled and let her take him to their bed with a wonderful view of Mt. shasta's snow covered peak with lenticular clouds whisking by. He fell asleep grateful to be rescued by his wife's soul once again in a new form.
He was awakened promptly at 6 am the next morning by Biocom. Biocom said, "Arcane. I'm required by Galactic Law to inform you that your new wife, Prophetess must not be seen by any earth born human the way she naturally looks on New Deva.
Arcane both happy and groggy said, "Yes. I was expecting this. I don't want her physically modified like I was since she is not a Galactic Operative, Yet. She is just the wife of a Galactic Operative on duty at present. So, she only needs to wear an "appearance changer" so she appears to be earth human even though she isn't. I want her to stay the way I remember her and her sister Ah ray In looked. I'm nostalgic for my old life on New Deva. Seeing her with lavender skin, gold irises, visible gills on her neck and white lavender hair and even the 50% longer tongue and webs between her fingers and toes makes me feel like I'm still living on my home planet, New Deva. I have served the galaxy well so I feel I'm owed this."
Biocom said, "Wait a Moment while I consult with Galactic Central." Arcane said, "Okay."
Biocom came back and said, "It will be as you wish. However, now we have to fill in the blanks in regard to earth so they don't suspect Prophetess in not being an earth born earthling."
Arcane said, "So. It's agreed that she doesn't have to be modified physicaly in any way?" Biocom said, "Yes." Arcane then said, "And that I have the responsibility of repairing any problems with time in case her technology that makes her appear as an earthling fails?" Biocom said, "That's correct. However, what do you want her to look like?"
Arcane said, "What?"
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
Arcane thought about this. "Oh Yes. When she is not with me alone, you mean?"
Biocom said, "Well. It is dangerous almost anywhere on earth to not be looking human even inside a house unless you are in altered time."
Arcane thought about this. "Yes." he said, "That is unfortunate."
Biocom said again, "What do you want her to look like?"
ARcane thought about this. He said, "She can't look like Celeste, can she?"
"NO. How could that be explained?"
Suddenly Arcane got very depressed. He had a great idea! "Let's let Prophetess to decide what she wants to look like on earth." Arcane allowed Prophetess when she woke up to talk to Biocom via an ear bud.
Biocom said, "Prophetess. Who do you want to look like?" Biocom could tell she wasn't happy about having to make this choice.
Note: At this point my wife tells me that after telling her this story she questions the essence of it. Her problem with it is that, "Why should ARcane whose wife Celeste just died within a couple of years, marry this 18 year old Prophetess?
My response to her was a few different things. First, because Prophetess saw into Old Arcane's mind she knew everything he ever did. Her knowledge of all this is a threat to her world's time line unraveling so she knew at that moment she either had to commit suicide or to leave the planet with Arcane. Off planet she would no longer be a danger to her planets future unfolding properly. It was her patriotic duty to leave New Deva as soon as possible. The earliest she could marry was age 18. She knew that Arcane would save her planet's time line.
Secondly, Arcane was the most amazing man she had ever met. When she looked into Arcane's mind and heart she saw the kindness and discipline of a saint. Though she could see Arcane's many wounds internally, he was saint like in his determination to do the best he could for everyone or die trying. She knew she would be an asset to this man just like she knew she would be a danger to her planet if she stayed on New Deva past age 18. So she married Arcane to save her planet's time line and because she knew she was the same soul as Celeste(Arcane's wife) and Ah Ray In, her sister and soon to be martyred and sainted sister.
(From Arcane's point of view) Arcane by this time in his several thousands of real time years sojourn on this galaxy and others as a Galactic Time Guard operative and Galactic Diplomat had learned to be in the moment. And by being in the moment Prophetess and he had found each other, and intuitively even though he didn't know at that moment who PRophetess was soul-wise, he was intuitive enough not to refuse her offer of betrothal and marriage as it occurred according to New Deva customs.
Also, it worked for him because taking care of her would keep him alive to help all those he could help in the Galaxy and beyond and she would take care of him too. end note.
Prophetess and Biocom after conferring a short while came up with something and ARcane was brought into their conversation. Prophetess began, "Arcane. I'd like your opinion on what Biocom and Galactic Central and I came up with. First we morphed my New Devan looks through a medbot view screen of the type designed to physically modify operatives to look like the humanoids on whatever planet they are working on. Only in my case since I don't have to be physically altered there is a much wider choice. So we morphed me into what an appropriate educated upper class woman would like like on earth who looks pretty much like me. Then we added in Ah Ray In's looks and Celeste's looks for highlights to help you with the familiarity thing subconsciously. Then we all looked deeper and I made the final choice from about 100 basic variations and we have brought it down to 5 to 10 choices. We just wanted you to participate at this point."
Arcane said, "Okay. Since I like long hair and blue eyes with a golden phaze to them like we have on New Deva, I choose these three. Of those three I choose the one with the long eyelashes that looks like she is smiling or smirking all the time."
Prophetess said, "NO. That will attract to many males. Remember I'm only 18 and I have to worry about such things still."
Arcane said, "You know, you could appear to be about 27 to early thirties like I do. People would give you more respect if you did that."
Prophetess said, "NO. They would expect too much of me. I need to grow into that. However, since I'm extremely mature for my age I might be able to pull off maybe being 21 to 25 years old." Biocom adjusted the appearance to that age range including dress for that age group. He also plugged the program into the latest affluent but diplomatic dress for her as her program appeared to slowly age her illusion over the years. In this way if Prophetess wanted for example to be naked or barefoot it wouldn't matter because everyone would see the illusion of her being dressed and perfectly coifed and experience it if they shook her hand or even brushed up against her.
Arcane said, "Yes. Because you won't just look like a teenager, now I won't feel I'm robbing the cradle so much with you when we walk down the street together. People will just think I'm a very lucky fellow."
Prophetess beamed at this thought. She said, "Okay Biocom. I think we have found it. Wait a minute, though. Arcane?" Arcane said, "Yes Dear?" She definitely like the sound of him saying that. "We are both from a water planet. When do you retreat into the water?" ARcane said, "Well. Since Celeste was from a humanistic planet but not a planet of aquamen and aquawomen and children we just swam on the surface mostly. But if I'm visiting Hawaii I generate a false appearance of a snorkler or SCUBA diver but since my gills still work if I undisguise them, I swim with the fishes au naturel."
Prophetess said, "OH, Can we do that?" Biocom said, "Yes. I'll add that illusion to your appearance generator." Prophetess asked, "Is the appearance generator water proof?" "Yes" said Biocom, "and not only that it is a security device too. If it fails it automatically suspends time and puts you in stasis. So what you see is everyone else alive as still. That wouldn't apply to Arcane, though, since he is your designated time protector. Also, it suspends time if there is a potential security threat of any kind."
"One more thing", Biocom spoke up. "New Devan will be replaced with acceptable English or any other language used anywhere you then are that can be properly explained. In other words, if there is no record on earth known that you speak more than one language how can you speak them?"
Arcane said, "Then her records need to show that she speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, and German. In this way she demonstrates that she has lived all over. This kind of person is very common among the educated of both North America and Europe so wherever she is she will fit right in." Prophetess was a little confused at this point and said, "What language will I hear?"
Biocom chipped in, "You will hear your New Devan dialect of course." Prophetess said,"Then since ARcane and I speak telepathically it will look like we never speak. Is that a problem?" If Biocom was allowed to laugh then he would have because she demonstrated her naivete strongly in this moment, and said politely, "Prophetess. The visual and sound projector is a sentient form that controls all that is seen and heard. A visual and sound recording is retained of what it displays as well as what you are thinking and saying in New Devan. This can be played back and you can modify what it does in the future as you wish!" Prophetess said, "I would like that until I get used to what is expected of me while living here on earth in the various cultures here."
Arcane looked at Prophetess. She reminded him so much of Ah Ray IN and Celeste combined. But since her life experience and abilities so far were so different than theirs had been she was her own unique self. Arcane wondered where Prophetess' life would take her and him. They would soon find out.
Since more people are reading this I realized it might be helpful to have this button as well which is about Old Arcane and Prophetess' adventures together:

Meeting Jesus at age 27:fiction?
Meeting Jesus at age 27:fiction?
Arcane visits Jesus when he was 27
One day Arcane decided he wanted to visit Jesus. He had to ask his superiors in the Galactic Core. They said, "Please check possible ramifications after your visit. If they are not favorable please delete your visit." So Arcane set up time filters to gauge the impact of his visit with Jesus up to 5000 years after he visited him.
Arcane carefully designed his visit. First, he engramed ancient Aramaic into his mind so he could speak it. Of course his mouth muscles were used to more modern langauges so he would have an accent but he would be able to explain that. He chose a time before Jesus gathered his disciples. At this time Jesus was about 27 years old. Arcane chose this time specifically because this was the age when Arcane lost Arayin. He thought visiting Jesus at this age would tend to heal his inner wounding.
Jesus was walking down the road alone. Arcane walked up to Jesus and introduced himself. Jesus said, "I recognize your soul. It is in a very ancient form even though you are from the future." The hairs went up on Arcane's neck. He was definitely speaking to Jesus. Jesus went on, "You are the same soul as my father Joseph, Arcane. Please tell me what my father's soul has come to share with me from such a far away time." For one of the few times in his life Arcane was thunderstruck. He found it difficult to speak in the presence of Jesus." He finally said, "Jesus, I asked permission from my superiors in the future if I could visit you." Jesus said, "Yes. I see that." Arcane said, "If my visit through time causes any harmful future effects I will eliminate my visit with you." Jesus was quiet a moment and said, "I have spoken with my father in heaven. He has told me that your visit is auspicious as long as you let me ask the questions." Arcane said, "I am honored to be your servant, Jesus."
Jesus began his questions. "Arcane what is the result in your time of my life here?" Arcane said, "There are 1 billion Christians on earth 2000 years hence. Your teachings of brotherhood and hope have civilized the world. There are still other religions like Buddhism and another variation off of Judaism called Islam that starts in about 700 years." Jesus answered, "Yes. I know the soul of Mohammed." Arcane couldn't help but be surprised." Jesus then said, "Did you know that I learned kindness and compassion from the Buddhists in India?" Arcane said, "I had wondered about that." Jesus said, "When I was a boy I apprenticed to a camel train that led me to India. I stayed for a while in the prosperous town of Nalanda and met with Buddhist Teachers there. They introduced me to a Mahasiddha who told me my future and that I must die on a cross to lift mankind. I said it was a small price to pay for what would come as a result. He taught me how to raise my body from the dead. Arcane, I studied with teachers of various religions during my travels. What becomes Christianity is actually a new form of Judaism just like Buddhism is an outgrowth of Bramanism." Even though Arcane knew most of this he felt stunned like a child when confronted with new awarenesses. Arcane said, "Do I have permission to ask you a question?" Jesus looked into Arcane deeply and said, "Yes, my brother. Though you travel time you do similar work that I do. We are compatriots lifting the souls of the human race and all life on earth." Arcane said, "I am honored by what you say,your Holiness, Jesus." Jesus then said, "Don't call me Your Holiness yet. I'm still in training. Just call me Jesus." Arcane felt like a little child next to Jesus. He said, "Okay, Jesus." Then Jesus said, "Now is a good time to ask your question." Arcane pulled himself together and said to Jesus, "Everywhere I have traveled through time there have been religious wars. Why is that?" Arcane felt like a child asking this question.
Jesus smiled and said, "Relax Arcane. I know you are a World Saver in your time and I am a World Savior in my own. Is there really that much difference in the good works we do?" Arcane said, "That is the greatest compliment I have ever been given." Jesus said, "It is not a compliment, Arcane. I'm simply stating a fact. We are brothers. We have known each other for millions of years."
When Jesus said this to Arcane he found himself fainting. Jesus caught his body before it hit the ground. When Arcane awoke his head was in Jesus' lap. Jesus then said, "Arcane, once again you are one of my disciples, my students. In other lifetimes I have been your student. Sometimes, we even made it a point to teach each other lifetime after lifetime in order to keep the holy spirit alive on earth."
Arcane said, "I don't think my soul has experienced that yet, Jesus." Jesus said, "That really doesn't matter because both time and space are only an illusion as we both know by now." Arcane said, "Knowing that is true and actually experiencing it all the time I find to be very disorienting and leading to vertigo." Jesus said, "When one has reached our level of awareness mentally understanding it is all that is necessary unless we wish to be in another time or space, then a little vertigo is necessary while extreme focus is maintained mentally of visualizing exactly where and when we are going to."
Arcane sighed with the sigh of a child having found a friendly compassionate adult.
Arcane said, "Jesus. You have made me your student once again." Jesus said, "Isn't that why you came to see me?" Arcane said, "I thought it was something else that was troubling me but, Yes, you are right, I see now." Jesus then said, "It is now time to ask me your question." Arcane said, "Though I intellectually know the answer I need to hear it from you because it will heal me." Jesus said, "Yes. It will." "Jesus?" Arcane said, "Why are there relgious wars throughout time. My betrothed died of torture on my home planet which fully created me as World Saver, then everywhere I have been in times a religious war had arisen, was about to arise. Why must there always be people fighting and dying in the name of religion.
Jesus was quiet a moment and then said, "You only intellectually know part of the answer, Arcane. The rest of the answer is a question of balance. Religious wars tend to create balance. They tend to create equalization of resources throughout any civilized area in the universe. God is not limited to any one religion or even philosophy. God is all religions and beyond all religions and more than any one human mind could ever contain without dying in the process. So attempting to understand it all is good but actually understanding everything completely is not possible for any one human being while still in human form. Enlightenment is acheived when any human being accepts what is possible and what is not. Equipose is reached at that moment."
Arcane looked troubled, "What can I do with this information?" Jesus seemed compassionate. He said, "I have faced this conundrum too, Arcane. Now that you have heard this your heart will have peace." With this Jesus took his index finger and touched my heart. Smoke came out of my heart and then white light raditated from my heart. Jesus smiled and said, "Come and visit me after my resurrection, Brother." With this Jesus walked away having done his holy work on my soul and the future of Earth and the Universe.
The Resurrection
Since Arcane knew he was a disciple of Jesus by Jesus' own words on his home planet he had learned obedience when dealing with spiritual teachers. Since Jesu just told him to visit Jesus after his Resurrection he was doing that right now. Arcane thought to himself as he whisked himself through both time and space to the location of Jesus' resurrection. Arcane stayed invisible there at the moment of resurrection waiting for the moment Jesus had predicted for their meeting.
As Arcane watched the Roman soldiers guard Jesus' tomb he noticed how spooked and uncomfortable they were. One Soldier said to the other, "This is bad. What if this guy really is a God as some people say? What is he going to do to us stupid mortals here?" Another soldier said, "You're right! How did we ever become unfortunate enough to pull this duty?" A officer, a Centurian said, "Pipe down you guys. I've heard Jesus speak and he would be the first to forgive our ignorance." Tears came to the guards eyes with this. They both knew in their heart of hearts that this man buried here likely was a God if their Centurian had heard him speak. For their Centurian was an honorable man and could be trusted to tell the truth.
Arcane was dumbfounded. This Centurian was Jonthan. Yes. He looked a little different but it was his soul! This was just too much for Arcane and he started to lose consciousness. Just about this time Arcangel Gabriel appeared and the common soldiers ran away. The Centurian in typical Jonathan fashion stayed on bended knee with head bowed realizing what was happening. Yes! This is Jonathan, his soul present at the Resurrection! This was why Jesus wanted Arcane here. At least this is one of the reasons.
Arcangel Gabriel walked up to the Centurian(Jonathan's soul) and said, "Centurian! Be not afraid. You and your soldiers have nothing to fear. Your future is bright! For you are one of us.
At this point the Centurian fainted and collapsed in a pile unconscious from the power of the touch of the Arcangel Gabriel.
Next, Arcangel Gabriel stood with his accompanying angels in front of the tomb and lightning shot from his outstretched hand at the tomb. The large stone cover blew away from its perch. The tomb was open! In a few moments the stirrings inside were evident. Two of Arcangel Gabriel's healing angels stood over Jesus' body ministering to Jesus' needs. As Jesus emerged from the tomb the wounds on his hands and feet were still visible but they glowed an unearthly color. One knew one was witnessing something beyond the belief of most earthly beings.
Arcane was transfixed. He knew he would never be the same again after this experience. The words, "Born Again" had new meaning for him in this moment.
Finally, with Arcangel Gabriel and his angels guarding the area Jesus walked right up to Arcane. Jesus said, "It is time Arcane. Make youself visible!" Arcane did as he was asked.
Jesus embraced Arcane. Arcane wondered if he could stay conscious this time. As if in answer to Arcane's mental question Jesus said, "You will stay conscious this time, Arcane. I am preparing you to enter the time pool with His Oneness, The ancient Lemurian Christ before me. Today I become the new Christ in earnest. Today a new and Resurrected Order of the Ages begins and today you must Resurrect in the Time Pool and merge with His Oneness so he may start Shambala over Earth. Today I become the new Christ on Earth and He becomes a Protector of Earth until Jonathan becomes Eridian in the far far future."
God has everything in Perfect Divine Order. As I become through Resurrection the Christ on Earth, You and His Oneness become the King of Shambala!"
Arcane thought, "This is the end of Arcane!" To this Jesus said, "Arcane! This is not the end this is only the beginning for both of us. We are eternal brothers. We are both Sons of God!" With this the fire in Jesus' eyes burned Arcane to the point that his soul screamed in shock! When Arcane woke up Jesus was gone and Arcane was invisible again but this time he was 40,000 years before in the Capital city of Lemuria in what would be in the far far future California.
Arcane woke up knowing where he was and what he was there to do. He looked into the mirror and where his eyes should have been were two globes of fire. Jesus had filled Arcane's brain and body with the fire of the Holy Spirit of God. Arcane thought that the last day he had actually been the Arcane he knew was the day before he met his teacher and master, Jesus. Obedience had been the lesson he took from studying with masters in his childhood. Now, Obedience to God and Jesus would lead him to give up Arcane completely and merge into His Oneness. The Christness of His Oneness and the wisdom and experience of Arcane would protect Earth from all threats from all dimensions for 1,000,000 years or more if need be. After all, he remembered earth 1,000,000 years into the future and saw his touch, Jesus' touch, His Oneness' touch on everything! His destiny had been beyond anything he could have imagined. Gratitude to God filled His Soul!
Arcane visits Jesus when he was 27

Arcane felt like a little child next to Jesus. He said, "Okay, Jesus." Then Jesus said, "Now is a good time to ask your question." Arcane pulled himself together and said to Jesus, "Everywhere I have traveled through time there have been religious wars. Why is that?" Arcane felt like a child asking this question.
Jesus smiled and said, "Relax Arcane. I know you are a World Saver in your time and I am a World Savior in my own. Is there really that much difference in the good works we do?" Arcane said, "That is the greatest compliment I have ever been given." Jesus said, "It is not a compliment, Arcane. I'm simply stating a fact. We are brothers. We have known each other for millions of years."
When Jesus said this to Arcane he found himself fainting. Jesus caught his body before it hit the ground. When Arcane awoke his head was in Jesus' lap. Jesus then said, "Arcane, once again you are one of my disciples, my students. In other lifetimes I have been your student. Sometimes, we even made it a point to teach each other lifetime after lifetime in order to keep the holy spirit alive on earth."
Arcane said, "I don't think my soul has experienced that yet, Jesus." Jesus said, "That really doesn't matter because both time and space are only an illusion as we both know by now." Arcane said, "Knowing that is true and actually experiencing it all the time I find to be very disorienting and leading to vertigo." Jesus said, "When one has reached our level of awareness mentally understanding it is all that is necessary unless we wish to be in another time or space, then a little vertigo is necessary while extreme focus is maintained mentally of visualizing exactly where and when we are going to."
Arcane sighed with the sigh of a child having found a friendly compassionate adult.
Arcane said, "Jesus. You have made me your student once again." Jesus said, "Isn't that why you came to see me?" Arcane said, "I thought it was something else that was troubling me but, Yes, you are right, I see now." Jesus then said, "It is now time to ask me your question." Arcane said, "Though I intellectually know the answer I need to hear it from you because it will heal me." Jesus said, "Yes. It will." "Jesus?" Arcane said, "Why are there relgious wars throughout time. My betrothed died of torture on my home planet which fully created me as World Saver, then everywhere I have been in times a religious war had arisen, was about to arise. Why must there always be people fighting and dying in the name of religion.
Jesus was quiet a moment and then said, "You only intellectually know part of the answer, Arcane. The rest of the answer is a question of balance. Religious wars tend to create balance. They tend to create equalization of resources throughout any civilized area in the universe. God is not limited to any one religion or even philosophy. God is all religions and beyond all religions and more than any one human mind could ever contain without dying in the process. So attempting to understand it all is good but actually understanding everything completely is not possible for any one human being while still in human form. Enlightenment is acheived when any human being accepts what is possible and what is not. Equipose is reached at that moment."
Arcane looked troubled, "What can I do with this information?" Jesus seemed compassionate. He said, "I have faced this conundrum too, Arcane. Now that you have heard this your heart will have peace." With this Jesus took his index finger and touched my heart. Smoke came out of my heart and then white light raditated from my heart. Jesus smiled and said, "Come and visit me after my resurrection, Brother." With this Jesus walked away having done his holy work on my soul and the future of Earth and the Universe.
The Resurrection
Since Arcane knew he was a disciple of Jesus by Jesus' own words on his home planet he had learned obedience when dealing with spiritual teachers. Since Jesu just told him to visit Jesus after his Resurrection he was doing that right now. Arcane thought to himself as he whisked himself through both time and space to the location of Jesus' resurrection. Arcane stayed invisible there at the moment of resurrection waiting for the moment Jesus had predicted for their meeting.
As Arcane watched the Roman soldiers guard Jesus' tomb he noticed how spooked and uncomfortable they were. One Soldier said to the other, "This is bad. What if this guy really is a God as some people say? What is he going to do to us stupid mortals here?" Another soldier said, "You're right! How did we ever become unfortunate enough to pull this duty?" A officer, a Centurian said, "Pipe down you guys. I've heard Jesus speak and he would be the first to forgive our ignorance." Tears came to the guards eyes with this. They both knew in their heart of hearts that this man buried here likely was a God if their Centurian had heard him speak. For their Centurian was an honorable man and could be trusted to tell the truth.
Arcane was dumbfounded. This Centurian was Jonthan. Yes. He looked a little different but it was his soul! This was just too much for Arcane and he started to lose consciousness. Just about this time Arcangel Gabriel appeared and the common soldiers ran away. The Centurian in typical Jonathan fashion stayed on bended knee with head bowed realizing what was happening. Yes! This is Jonathan, his soul present at the Resurrection! This was why Jesus wanted Arcane here. At least this is one of the reasons.
Arcangel Gabriel walked up to the Centurian(Jonathan's soul) and said, "Centurian! Be not afraid. You and your soldiers have nothing to fear. Your future is bright! For you are one of us.
At this point the Centurian fainted and collapsed in a pile unconscious from the power of the touch of the Arcangel Gabriel.
Next, Arcangel Gabriel stood with his accompanying angels in front of the tomb and lightning shot from his outstretched hand at the tomb. The large stone cover blew away from its perch. The tomb was open! In a few moments the stirrings inside were evident. Two of Arcangel Gabriel's healing angels stood over Jesus' body ministering to Jesus' needs. As Jesus emerged from the tomb the wounds on his hands and feet were still visible but they glowed an unearthly color. One knew one was witnessing something beyond the belief of most earthly beings.
Arcane was transfixed. He knew he would never be the same again after this experience. The words, "Born Again" had new meaning for him in this moment.
Finally, with Arcangel Gabriel and his angels guarding the area Jesus walked right up to Arcane. Jesus said, "It is time Arcane. Make youself visible!" Arcane did as he was asked.
Jesus embraced Arcane. Arcane wondered if he could stay conscious this time. As if in answer to Arcane's mental question Jesus said, "You will stay conscious this time, Arcane. I am preparing you to enter the time pool with His Oneness, The ancient Lemurian Christ before me. Today I become the new Christ in earnest. Today a new and Resurrected Order of the Ages begins and today you must Resurrect in the Time Pool and merge with His Oneness so he may start Shambala over Earth. Today I become the new Christ on Earth and He becomes a Protector of Earth until Jonathan becomes Eridian in the far far future."
God has everything in Perfect Divine Order. As I become through Resurrection the Christ on Earth, You and His Oneness become the King of Shambala!"
Arcane thought, "This is the end of Arcane!" To this Jesus said, "Arcane! This is not the end this is only the beginning for both of us. We are eternal brothers. We are both Sons of God!" With this the fire in Jesus' eyes burned Arcane to the point that his soul screamed in shock! When Arcane woke up Jesus was gone and Arcane was invisible again but this time he was 40,000 years before in the Capital city of Lemuria in what would be in the far far future California.
Arcane woke up knowing where he was and what he was there to do. He looked into the mirror and where his eyes should have been were two globes of fire. Jesus had filled Arcane's brain and body with the fire of the Holy Spirit of God. Arcane thought that the last day he had actually been the Arcane he knew was the day before he met his teacher and master, Jesus. Obedience had been the lesson he took from studying with masters in his childhood. Now, Obedience to God and Jesus would lead him to give up Arcane completely and merge into His Oneness. The Christness of His Oneness and the wisdom and experience of Arcane would protect Earth from all threats from all dimensions for 1,000,000 years or more if need be. After all, he remembered earth 1,000,000 years into the future and saw his touch, Jesus' touch, His Oneness' touch on everything! His destiny had been beyond anything he could have imagined. Gratitude to God filled His Soul!

Celeste Weaver sequel to memories
THE HISTORY OF CELESTE WEAVER OR (THE CELESTIAL WEAVER)
The following is a first and in some paragraphs a second draft effort. Please enjoy. Also when converting to html many typos occur when I type it manually from my laptop where I compose to my desktop online. However, this is a good technique to avoid computer viruses on my laptop.
Chapter One "One may have too many lives but never too many loves."
Arcane sat with Celeste. All their children had chosen one by one to terminate the life in their bodies. They had all lived 500 to 800 years respectively. Celeste was now over 1000 years old in real years and Arcane had lived even longer in his body.
Celeste looked up into Arcane's eyes and said, "Arcane, I just can't go on without the children. I think you understand this better than anyone."She looked up into his eyes for a response. It came quick. Arcane said, "I understand, My Dear. However, you must understand that I am not free to leave my body as you are. I have made commitments." Celeste smiled wryly. "I realize those commitments are more important than I and the children." Arcane frowned. "They are not more important but they are equally important to me. Even with you and the children gone I must go on for the greater good of all beings. Besides, I must live on for our 10,000+ descendants who now look to me for guidance." Celeste looked relieved. She finally said, "Yes. That is good. There is no greater leader than you that I have ever met, my World Saver. It looks to me that you will continue to be a leader and live on for everyone." Her eye looked beseachingly into his as she said, "Arcane, live on for me, too!" Arcane said, "I will, dear. It will be lonely without you, my love!" She said, "Maybe I'll come again in a new body somewhere and we can be friends again." Arcane said, "I'd like that Celeste."
Once again Celeste burned her eyes into Arcane. She said one last thing. "One may have too many lives, my dear, but never too many loves!" With that she slipped away. A tear fell from Arcane's eyes and the eyes of all the grandchildren present. He knew what she meant. She meant he would have other loves and maybe other wives before he died. Sometimes, he thought she was even more prescient than he was. He walked out of the room never to return. His grandchildren, all at least 700 years old now knew he would never return to this palatial estate in Switzerland. They wondered privately if they would ever see their revered grandfather ever again. They knew he traveled the galaxy to make things better for all beings. Many times he appeared and disapeared to them at will. To them he was not only their revered Grandfather but their Patron Saint.
However, most of all they knew they would miss most of all their loving, kind and always wise and prescient Grand mother. Many of the 10,000+ descendants of Arcane and Celeste were secret Galactic travelers and most of the rest could soul travel the universe as well. They had all been taught well by Grandfather Arcane. They definitely were an unusual and amazing family line.
Arcane's Grandchildren still visited Jonathan once a year on the California coast where he still lived. He had been regenerated many times with Galactic help and still traveled and wrote extensively. He had become more eccentric with the hundreds of years that had passed since his birth but he still liked to reminisce about the first times Arcane and Jonathan met on Earth.
For some reason the incidents in San Francisco, Tahiti and in Hawaii on Oahu and Maui at Haleakala Crater seemed to peek the interests of Arcane and Celeste's descendants the most. It must have been the unusual story of two off worlders from different planets and times finding each other 900,000 years in the past from where Arcane and Celeste were born and getting together and bringing about this amazing family of Universal travelers and explorers. I myself am amazed just recounting it today for you all to read.
Arcane and Celeste had both worked tirelessly to help build a world Government that worked a lot like the United States did. In other words alliances became stronger and stronger until they merged and created an Earth Government that resembled a United States with each nation state as one of the states. However, a parliamentary form of World Government emerged. Everything that had worked in nation state Governments that had benefitted all beings was built into the most amazing and useful worldwide system of Government ever known on earth. In this way Nuclear proliferation ceased to be a problem and the earth in emergencies thought and acted as One allied state.
Chapter 2 A Painful Ending and New Beginning
Arcane walked out of Celeste's bedroom in Switzerland.He had a duplicate android of himself that took flights from country to country so no one would notice he didn't fly in planes unless he was piloting them himself.The android would go to his apartment in New York and house sit for him while he was gone. He willed himself back to Mt. Shasta where he still owned 2 1/2 acres at about 5000 feet on Mt. Shasta. When he had first built the cabin there were no power lines to his land it was so remote. At first he had used Aladdin Lamps run by kerosene and a good wood stove to keep warm even when the snow was 4 to 7 feet deep or more in the winters there. Like Jonathan, Arcane had always been drawn to the mountain and its natural accentuation of intuitive gifts. He found it quite easily to move physically to any time or space with his physical body even though he was now well over 1000 years old. His body had been regenerated within the last three years by medical sentient robots dispatched to his remote mountain cabin so he looked once again like about 30 years old. He was very healthy and athletic looking. He liked to get out on his Mountaineering cross country skis with metal edges and ski the newly fallen virgin snow.
Also like Jonathan, Skiing had always reminded him of Jesus walking on water and was very rejuvenating and exhilerating for him. This was especially true in the high alpine conditions between 5000 feet and 10,000 feet in elevation on Shasta. Now for Arcane is about 3000 AD. Five hundred years ago, Arcane had installed a private perfectly quiet cold fusion generator at his now highly modified cabin and acreage. It supplied all heat and power needed to keep the interior at 60 degrees farerheit year round so the water pipes connected to the well pump and pressure tank didn't freeze and so no mold occured in his cabin during his long absenses of up to 8 months when it wasn't snow ski season.
He usually spent Christmas alternately in Switzerland or New York or with his grandchildren in the various parts of the world where they lived. Now Celeste was gone he didn't quite know how he would handle Christmas. After Christmas, each year he and Celeste had retreated to Mt. Shasta unless there was a war emergency at the United Nations for the months of January through April. They would spend New Years somewhere on earth with the kids or grandkids and then go by the 5th to Shasta. Sometimes, Celeste got bored with the Mountain fastness and would visit relatives while Arcane was there. However, he never tired of the mountain because he was busy working off planet for 6 months at a time and then he would return the next moment after he left. Celeste used to make sure she was there at the cabin for a week after he returned from his 6 month stints off planet to reinforce and recreate him and their relationship. He would repeat this about every 30 days while in their remote cabin on Mt. Shasta.
In May he would return to his apartment in New York or his Estate in Switzerland depending on the needs of the earth and his familt's many far flung business interests worldwide. It had been tricky for Arcane and Celeste to reinherit their estates after they had presumably passed on. After a few hundred years they created special trusts to children and grandchildren or greatgrandchildren that their new Identities were executors of. As executors they could allocate how and where there finances were dealt with. Their children and grandchildren understood what was happening so there was no problem. There had been times when a descendant under 20 had let the secret out. But for Arcane, repairing time was his job now for over 1000 years. Most of the time he didn't have to deal with it at all because his biocom or Celeste's called in those necessary to change time so it hadn't happened.
However, now Celeste had given the Swiss Estate to the Grandchildren. So he would now go between their Manhattan apartment and his Swiss Chalet in the Alps and his cabin on Mt. Shasta.
Arcane found time travel anywhere in the Galaxy easier from Mt. Shasta than for any place on earth. Mt. Kailash was another good time travel port for exit and entry from and to earth but most of his family lived in Europe, the US, Canada and Australia or New Zealand. So he found Mt. Shasta just more convenient. However, if he was travelling as a diplomat to another Galaxy. Mt. Kailash was the best choice. He would then do it as a relay. He would start on Shasta, and get a time boost from His Oneness's Time relay left in Mt. Shasta since ancient Lemurian times, then he would boost to Mt. Kailash and then go supernova to whatever Galaxy he was needed in.
However, this time when he physically appeared in his cabin everything was different. Celeste was gone. It reminded him of the horror he had felt when Celeste's previous lifetime as his betrothed Arrayin and when she was tortured and died at the hands of Tech Noir. Arcane's body shuddered involuntarily.
He had asked Celeste years ago once she had gotten used to remembering past lives again if she had sacrificed herself as Arrayin so he would terminate Tech Noir for sure. She had smiled coyly and said matter of factly, "It was the only way to fully empower you to save our people, Arcane." Just thinking about all that gave him chills even though it was 1400 years in Arcane's past in real time.
Right now 1400 years ago seemed just like yesterday to Arcane. He thought this might be because Arrayin as Celeste had passed on again. He didn't know if he would ever see her in the physical world again. She was just gone!
Arcane's thoughts of Celeste drew her spirit near to him. She appeared like the angel she always was. Arcane was surprised by her warm spirit. He said to her, "You are so beautiful like the first time I met you as Celeste!" She said, "I feel pretty good, too." He said, "Do you remember the first time we met in Atlantis when I was the boy, Darshan?" "Of course Arcane. But that wasn't the first time we met. I guess it isn't really useful to you at present to know about them in your present lifetime." Arcane said, "Yes. This is true. I'm having trouble with all this because I'm having to cope with you dying as Arrayin all over again in addition to losing you as my wife Celeste."
"You must be strong, Arcane. You will need other women in your life over the next several thousand years you are alive!" Arcane frowned. "That's how long I have to live yet?" "It appears so, Arcane. I have a very different perspective from this side. It is not time based at all. Everything on this side is just about Being and not time or space. I can see al our lives not only as humanoids but as all types of manifested beings both physical and spirit."
Arcane felt a little faint. He couldn't deal with any more of this tonight. He said quickly to Celeste, "This is all I can stand for now, Celeste." "It's okay, Arcane. I'll come into your dream tonight and you won't remember my body has passed on. Okay?" Arcane said, "Yes, just as long as I don't have to remember you're gone." "It's a deal, Arcane." With this she drited away.
Arcane shivered and cried by himself that his wife of over 1000 years was gone. He drifted off to sleep in an awkward position on the cabin living room couch. Soon, just as Celeste had promised she showed up in his dream. He was back on the island of Maui, Hawaii. It seemed like both 1986 and everytime they had visited there on anniversaries an the last 1000 years or so. However, this time Celeste had angel wings?" Arcane said, "Why are you wearing angel wings?" Celeste said, "I've earned them, Arcane." Arcane said, "Whatever you say." Arcane found he was lifted by her presence and began to feel elated. He said, "Come walk with me in Haleakala Crater." Celeste said, "Let me fly you there." Because it was a dream Arcane said, "Where did you learn to fly with those?" She said, "It'll be safe. Don't worry." Arcane asked, "Do I grab you or do you grab me?" Celeste said, "Let me hold your waist so we can fly side by side."
When they reached the familiar Ney Neys(a variation of Canadian Geese that don't fly found at Haleakala. It is believed they were blown to Hawaii during a storm thousands of years ago.)Arcane spied the now familiar trail down through the cliffs to the first cabin in the crater. Arcane sighed because of all the amazing memories here. However, something was very strange in this dream. He looked up at the sun above them and it had the face of the Galactic Sentience. He was not sure how he knew that was who it was for he had no memory of ever having even met the Galactic Sentience. The Galactic Sentience as the Sun said, "You both need to visit me, Grandpa." Now this was just so strange that Arcane felt faint even in the dream. Arcane thought at the time that this had to be the single most bizzarre thing he had ever experienced. He looked at Celeste. Both her arms embraced him now as they flew. Because he could feel her love and her presence he no longer felt faint. She held him as they flew. Then she kissed him which caused him to wake up very uncomfortable on the couch of his cabin. Once again the shock of Celeste being dead shocked him to the core.
It was now about 3 am. Arcane got up from his living room couch and walked to the window. It was snowing. It was winter. Celeste was gone. His kids were gone, too. He was alone. It was snowing. He laughed to himself as he remembered Jonathan telling him of his death fantasy. Jonathan had told Arcane that when he got to old and decrepit rather than going into a rest home he would walk some wintery snowy day up on Mt. Shasta all alone and let himself freeze to death. He talked of digging a hole in a glacier with a note pinned to his crest in plastic. It would say. "If you can heal me and regenerate me wake me up!" He laughed out loud to himself again as Jonathan was now at least 1000 years old and still looked between 35 and 45 depending on when he was last regenerated. He laughed again as the irony set in.
As tears formed in Arcane's eyes a part of Arcane longed to do this now rather than to go on living without Celeste. He realized if he wanted to stay alive he needed to visit his parents.
Arcane instantly willed himself to New Deva 900,000 years into the future. It was way before he had taken out Tech Noir so he was allowed to visit during this time under an assumed name. The security on New Deva would know he was Galactic Time Guard by his entry soul signature. Also the Time Guard had given Arcane basic Carte Blanche in almost any time and space because of the Galaxy wide respect he had earned by his actions.
Arcane had visited his parents telling them at first he was a long lost brother to his father who had joined the Time Guard and had been modified to look like an ancient earthling. However, in the most recent visit he had told both parents the truth knowing they could keep a secret. They had found it a very strange secret to keep and had had some difficulty not telling 15 year old Arcane. However, the joy of seeing their adult son who now looked like an ancient earth alien was worth keeping the difficult secret.
As he appeared in his parent's living room he saw himself studying there at about age 15. (He would not tell his young sefl at this age who he really was as it would mess up time.) Arcane introduced himself. He said, "Hi, I'm your uncle. All my friends and family call me 'Future'. Young Arcane said, "Hi, Uncle Future. My parents often talk about you. They say you travel the Galaxy. Even though you've been modified, you sure do look a lot like me. Could you take me with you next time you go off planet?" "I'm afraid not Arcane. I work for the Galactic Time Guard." Young Arcane said, "Wow! I've never met one of those. Can I tell me friends?" Arcane frowned, "I'm afraid not, Arcane. I'm just telling you because you are family and I know I can trust you and your parents to keep a secret." Young Arcane was crestfallen at not being able to tell his friends.
Old Arcane had forgotten just how well endowed psychically he had been at this age. He was barely able to keep young Arcane from guessing the truth. At that moment young Arcane said, "You're not me in the future are you?" Old Arcane said, "Probably not, Arcane." From the way Uncle Future answered this he knew it was a possibility but also realized that even if it were true time and space would suffer if he knew for sure. He let it go.
Old Arcane said, "Where are your parents? It's really important that I speak with them." Young Arcane said, "Oh, They're in the next room. They had started to study some ancient earth language. I think it's called Angleish or English or something like that. They said you speak it fluently, Uncle Future. Is that why you don't look like us?" Old Arcane said, "Yes, I was modified to live there as a planetary anthropologist." Old Arcane realized he had been telepathing with young Arcane all this time rather than speaking out loud. This might have been a mistake. Old Arcane asked Biocom. Biocom replied. "It's not a problem because of the way that young Arcane thinks. He hasn't had enough real life adult experiences to know what to do with all this information and by the time he has had enough experience he will have forgotten 90% of it." Old Arcane was very relieved."Thanks Biocom." he said. "Your welcome, Arcane."
Young Arcane seemed pleased to have rattled so sophisticated a relative. He left his studies in the living room and showed Old Arcane to both of their parents. Young Arcane said out loud, "Hey, Mom and Dad. Guess who's here? It's Uncle Future." Old Arcane almost cried out loud in hearing his young self speak his native language again. Old Arcane felt very sad at not being able to speak his New Devan Language again because his tongue had been shortened by 50% to look and operate like an ancient earthling. This made it impossible to speak his native language properly any more. This was one reason his parents were trying to learn English in order to take the sting out of not being able to converse in Native New Devan.
Arcane thought back upon what it had felt like to have the long tongue of a water breather of his native New Deva. He remembered in Water Scouts how he had learned the ancient water breather technique of unrolling his tongue from the roof of his mouth where it was politely kept when not speaking or hunting for fish. The tip of the tongue was used for bait. The Water Scout was supposed to stay very still barely breathing water and wait for fish to come and try to eat their tongue. If the scout was still enough the fish would come and check out the tongue. A mechanical barb had been installed on the tongue to spear the fish when it got close enough. Then all the scout had to do was to grab the fish and rip out the barb and put the fish in a bag at ones waist. He had been one of the few scouts in his troop that had been successful in obtaining a fish in this old water breather way. It was as difficult as rubbing sticks on land to make fire but he had done both. It had been so hard to be so exceptional at everything. Other scouts had been so jealous of his Shark and Whale patches. A whale water Scout was the highest like the Eagle Scout was back on ancient earth. He had encouraged his children to become eagle scouts back in the 20th century when they were children and then young adults in the 21st. Now they were all gone and he longed for Celeste and his young family. A tear formed in his eye. Arcane stood facing his parents and smiling at their joy to see him.
Arcane's parents were delighted to see him. His Dad embraced him and said, "My God, Future, you still look the same. Even after all these years you still look the same. I still can't get used to you looking like and ancient, ancient earthling." Arcane as Uncle Future smiled and embraced his Mom and Dad. His parents looked worried for a moment and said to young Arcane, "We have important business to discuss. It's something too dangerous for you to know, Arcane." Young Arcane said, "I understand, father." Old Arcane knew at that moment that young Arcane knew for sure more than he wanted him to. However, Biocom was right. He would forget most important things before he could process them with truly adult thoughts.
Arcane's father looked at his future son Uncle Future and said, "What brings you here, son?" Arcane as Future said, "Celeste is gone!" His father said, "What happened?" Arcane cringed. "All our children chose to pass on within 500 to 800 years of their births. When the oldest of our children chose to join the other two it was just too much for Celeste and so she refused regeneration. She's gone!"
Arcane's father looked into his sons eyes and said, "Future. You just have to put things into perspective. You are extremely lucky to have had Celeste in your life for over 1000 years, especially after losing Arrayin so young in your life here on New Deva." Future said, "I know that Dad but death is always difficult. Just like the ancient earth Buddhists said, "Birth, Old age, sickness and death" are very difficult and sometimes confusing.
Arcane's Dad said, "Yes. I've studied those texts. I agree. Those times in anyone's life no matter how long they live can be very difficult." Future Arcane said, "Dad. I just knew I neede to be with the two of you and my young self to stablize so I wouldn't end my life prematurely in grief. His Dad said, "Then coming to see us is very wise indeed. I sense the Galaxy will need you for some time." Future Arcane said, "Yes. Celeste came to me as an angel and told me I have several thousand years of life left." His father looked shocked and said, "Is that a blessing or a curse?" Future Arcane said, "For the Galaxy and Earth that might be good. However, for me it is both." Arcane's father said, "I agree."
Future Arcane said, "I don't need to talk about this anymore. I just need to be with you and pretend everything is okay.If I do this long enough maybe I'll believe it and it will be okay." Arcane's mother said, "Can young Arcane join us. I think he's feeling left out." Future Arcane said, "Yes, Mother. It's time he joined us."
As mother gathered up young Arcane to join them ARcane and his father spoke of Ancient English. Since Arcane could no longer speak his native New Devan language without a severe accent his parents had begun to learn ancient Earth english to soften the psychological blow of Arcane not being able to speak perfect New Devan anymore. Arcane's tongue had been shortened about 50% in length about 1000 years ago to appear to be an ancient earthling in real time in his life. So Future Arcane had to telpath or speak English with his parents. They proudly experimented with their command of English and Future Arcane had to laugh. He said, "It's wonderful that you try to speak earth English as I am now doing but our long native tongues get in the way a little. You both sound as if I were talking while holding the tip of my tonue with my fingers. I can still understand you but you couldn't pass for ancient Earthlings. They all laughed. Just being together was really great and beginning to heal Future Arcane's ancient soul. Future Old Arcane spent several weeks with young Arcane and his parents on New Deva.
New Chapter Celeste Leaves Earth for Good
As Celeste passed away up and out of her body on earth for the last time she saw a bright light. It was an angel she knew. Celeste said, "Mom! What are you doing here?" Celeste's Angel Mom said, "I've come to collect you, Celeste." As they embraced Celeste felt Earth and her children and even her husband drop away completely. She said, "I'm never coming back to earth again am I?" Her mother said, "I wouldn't say never. Never is a long long time. You just won't be reborn there next and you won't visit earth in your next life. Not only that you won't be a woman in your next life. At this point Celeste felt very unsettled and uncomfortable. Her mother took her hand and the two of them travelled through space. Celeste said, "How can I breathe in space?" Her mother said, "You don't have to breathe anymore. You are a spirit now. You no longer have a physical body to protect from death." This made Celeste fee both free and uncomfortable in not having a physical body anymore. Celeste said, "Mom, where are we going? Her Mom gave Celeste a strange look. Mom said, "You have an audience with the Galactic Sentience." Now Celeste thought this was very different. She didn't quite know what to think. At this point she decided her whole experience was becoming completely surreal and unimaginable to her.
Later after this meeting she went back in time and spoke with Arcane after she got her angel wings and after meeting The Galactic Sentience in what appeared to be a heaven like realm in the Center of the Galaxy. Celeste had asked her mother, "Why am I not in an Earth Heaven or a heaven on my birth planet?" Celeste's mother had said, "You will be doing a completely different kind of work for now." For Celeste this was not a complete answer. However, Celeste figured correctly that there was some as yet unknown reason for the ambiguity.
When she promised Arcane that she would visit him in a dream she was simaltaneously experiencing what appeared to her to be the Galactic Sentience. She asked this powerful being. "Who are you? Are you God?" The Galactic Sentience laughed and said, "I'm not the God of Gods if there really is such a thing anywhere but I AM the presiding God like Being for this Galaxy. I guess you could say I'm the Guardian of the Galaxy. Actually, You and Arcane together are the true Creators and builders of this Galaxy and the true spiritual heads of this Galaxy. You and Arcane were and are the father and mother of all the creators in this Galaxy and you are grandparents or great grandparents to all the rest.
Celeste, the Angel was stunned. She thought, "I'm the Mother of the Galaxy? What does this mean. Is it true? Is this just a dream?" A chair appeared and she sat down suddenly. Then she laughed because if she was an angel what did she need of a chair. As she laughed she looked at the Galactic Sentience, He said, "The chair is just psychological. It's a place of comfort you grew used to on earth. So the conception of one is provided for your comfort and stability, Grandma."
She finally collected herself and said, "This bit about me being the mother of the galaxy has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard." The Galactic Sentience said, "Call me Joseph, Celeste." Celeste looked hard at him and said, "why should I call you Joseph?" He said, "It's just a name I used once while on vacation on Earth." Celeste said tentatively, "Okay." Celeste still couldn't make any sense of this." Joseph said, "You're my Grandmother Celeste. I need you to remember this Now!"
Celeste looked down at her heart and was shocked and scared at seeing bright lights shining out of her heart. Joseph smiled. Celeste heard the words streaming out along with the light from his heart. Joseph smiled. Celeste began to recognize the words in a language she somehow understood. The words said in a female but unfamiliar voice, "Grandson, it's good to see you. You are looking well. Joseph said, "Thank God you're back, Grandma, I really need your help." The light grew brighter in her heart. Joseph said, "I need you to go to Eridian and tell him for me that the Galactic Sentience needs to see him now."
Celeste looked surprised. No one had actually asked her to do any work since she passed on and got her wings. She instantly thought of Eridian and she was with him. Eridian said, "Arrayin, Celeste. What is it dear?" Celeste, the Angel said, "As you probably know by now I have passed out of Celeste's body for the last time. What you might not know is that the Galactic Sentience has requested me to come and get you."
When Eridian and Celeste arrived in the Galactic Core Celest became aware of the angels that accompanied Eridian to the Galactic Core from Earth's Heavens. Some of these angels were millions and millions of years old. She could feel it from there demeanor even though none of them looked older than 25.
Joseph greeted them in a bright light human form. Eridian said, "You have summoned me. I have no idea what it is that you want, Your Decisiveness." Joseph said, "Thank you for coming on such short notice. Do you know who your soul is?" Eridian said, "The fullness of that has not been revealed to me for some reason. Obviously, Joseph, you intend to fill in the blanks." Joseph said, "Eridian, you are the senior incarnation of the soul that has recently manifested as Jonathan, in the past Darshan and in the future as ARcane." Eridian answered, "Yes." Joseph went on, "I want you to know now that your group soul is also the father of this Galaxy." Eridian thought a moment and said, "What does that really mean?" Joseph said, "It specifically means that you and your twin who is right now here as Celeste the Angel are twin souls married Billions and billions of years ago if not trillions. I don't really know how long anymore because time is just so relative. You and Celeste created this Galaxy and you and all your descendants have maintained it ever since. You have trillions of children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren living here in this galaxy. A few have even created their own galaxies and dimensions elsewhere and elsewhen." Eridian said, "Trillions?" The Protecting Angels from Earth's Heavens bent down on one knee. They knew they were witnessing important history in the making. Joseph went on,"Most of the souls who take incarnation throughout this galaxy are simply your children, grandchildren,or greatgrandchildren on vacation and the rest tend to be friends and relatives from other dimensions and galaxies." Eridian said, "That's hard to believe." Joseph said, "Look at your heart." Eridian did as he was asked and witnessed something similar to what Celeste had. However, he was not shocked by it as Celeste had been. He simply observed it as a matter of course. Then he said to Joseph. "You're right, Joseph. If it hadn't been you telling me this I never would have believed it. However, what real use is it for me to know this?" Joseph said, "ARcane will ask you what to do when you return to Earth now that Celeste has passed over to the Angelic side of life." Eridian said, "Yes." Joseph said, "I need Arcane and Celeste to both remember and become my Grandparents in earnest."
Eridian said, I can do that." Then Eridian said, "What will happen to me.?" Joseph said, "In order to keep earth and its heavens in order I need you to remain as Eridian. However, I need to awaken the aspect of your soul that is Arcane now that Celeste is an Angel. I need ARcane and Celeste to combine to become enough of my grandparents so they can run the galaxy while I take a vacation. My Grandparents created the galaxy so they know what it will need now. I'm more of a protecting military strategist and diplomat. The galaxy is relatively safe now but it needs the spiritual touch of my grandparents. I can feel the soul of the whole Creator family of this galaxy Calling out for Arcane and Celeste." Eridian looked bemused and said, "Will I remember any of the Grandfather and Grandmothers new experiences?" Joseph said, "Yes, Eridian, for you it will be an amazing awakening to other parts of yourself. Your closests angels will chronicle what is permitted of the experience for posterity in EArth's heavens." Eridian said, "Thank you, Joseph. I'm very grateful to you for filling in some more of the blanks so to speak. It's much different than I had expected." With this farewell Eridian and Earth's protecting Angels left to return to all the many many Earth heavens of all the religions and philosophies as well as the invididual heavens of earth.
Celeste was left alone with Joseph. She asked, "Joseph. What should I do now?" Joseph looked very pleased with himself. He said, "I'm creating a brightness here next to you which contains all the memories of your life as mother and grandmother to all the creators of this galaxy. You see, Grandma, only children creators need a galaxy to feed upon to grow to adulthood. Once a creator is an adult he or she may travel from galaxy to galaxy visiting relatives or friends or just mate and drift in dark matter for trillions of years until they have children. Then if the male wants to protect his new wife and children he creates a galaxy for them to feed on. Otherwise the female must go home to her parents galaxy or die of starvation with her children. It is also possible for a female creator to get her first born sons to begin a galaxy to feed them. Though this is unusual it sometimes happens and they are successful." Celeste asked, "Do pregnant females die often?" Joseph frowned, "Not as often as you might think. It happens most often when children run away from home at an age when they are not mature enough to handle adult responsibilities." Celeste thought a moment and said, "It's a lot like what happens on earth." Joseph said, "Yes and no. The size of a new born creator is the size of you physical sun and an adult creator is bigger than your solar system." Celeste said, "Wow! I guess size matters." As they both watched a fiery light formed from plasma as bright as the sun. Joseph said, "If you were now wearing a human body this plasma stream although quite beautiful would instantly incinerate your body. However, since you are in soul form it is harmless. If you will now put your hands inside the plasma sun stream you will remember all your life as a creator and as a drifter."
Celeste said, "What's a Drifter?" Joseph said, "It's like a teenager." Celeste laughed and said, "Yeah. This reminds me of my children as teenagers on earth. Joseph looked nostalgic and said, "Remember your Grandson, Henry?" Celeste smiled and said, "Oh Yes. He's a real sweety. All the girls loved him so when he was young. I taught him to swim in Fiji on vacation when he was only 4 years old. We used to snorkel together as he got better underwater. Joseph looked into Celeste's eyes. "Henry is me, Grandmother. I was born and lived as Henry simaltaneously while I was being the Galactic Sentience." Celeste said, "That must have been an amazing experience." Joseph said, "You'll never know how amazing and rewarding it was and is to be Henry." Celeste said, "Henry is still alive. Are you still Henry?" Joseph's eyes danced. "Yes! However, it's just not as fun now that you are gone from Earth, Celeste." Celeste looked into Joseph's eyes with new understanding. She said, "We really are family. Aren't we Joseph?" Joseph said, "Eternally, Grandmother."
New Chapter Arcane returns to Earth
Arcane invited Jonathan to his cabin after returning from the two week visit to his parents and his previous young self 900,000 years in the future on New Deva. Jonathan rode up to Arcane's cabin on his rented snowmobile. It was the only way to reach Arcane's cabin this time of year except by helicopter or by cross country skiing several miles uphill. Jonathan prefered skiing downhill. He was in a regenerated young body but in his mind he still was over 1000 years old. He was into efficiency and practicality and regenerative fun But today he was mostly worried about Arcane suriving Celeste's passing.
Jonathan hopped off the snowmobile and hugged Arcane. "Hello old friend." said Jonathan, "How are you?" Arcane looked distant, removed. Arcane said, "I've seen better days, Jonathan." The two of them walked inside the cabin as it was about 35 degrees farenheit outside. Inside it was warm and cozy and a log fire was burning in the fireplace
Later in the conversation Arcane said incisively, "Sometimes, Jonathan, I feel as if I were an actor. It's as if I was the star in a long running TV drama or movie of 1000 years. The problem is that my co-star, my wife just chose to die. She didn't have to die. She just couldn't go on without our kids anymore."
Jonathan looked up at the snow clad mountain out of the cabin window and said, "Let's set my sentient rental snowmobile to automatic and we'll let it tow us both on skis up the mountain." Arcane heard himself saying "Okay, Jonathan." They put on their skiing gear and skis and let themselves be towed up to about 10,000 feet. They told the snowmobile to return to Arcane's cabin. In an emergency it could rescue them but that was a highly unlikely need. They had it's phone number just in case. It was really beautiful. As they were being towed Jonathan could see first hand how sad Arcane was. Jonathan said as they were being towed, "Even though the life that you're now living is one of my past lives and even though in this life we have been friends for over 1000 years, there is a level of understanding that I have trouble reaching. I think this is because we have because I didnt' grow up on your planet 900,000 years into the future in this lifetime. I wasn't exposed in this lifetime to your culture or your languages or your customs or even the way you looked. Nor can I fully comprehend what it would mean to be both a water breather and and air breather. However, what I do know is that if I were raised in one culture on earth and then saved it and then was told to leave my family and never to rturn to that culture I can approximate what you feel. That would be awful.
Now, after living in a new culture and speaking new languages that you did not start with as a child. Then you married on a new planet and your wife has died after 1000 of marriage. I think that would be a very bitter pill to swallow."
"Arcane, whenever one loses someone that close it is always difficult." Arcane said, "Are you saying, Jonathan, that I will always feel this empty hole inside my heart where Celeste once lived." Jonthan said, "Yes, Arcane. That is unfortunately exactly what I'm saying." Arcane said, "Do you know what the last thing she said was?" "No. Tell me." said Jonathan. She said, "You may have too many lives, Arcane, but you can't have too many loves."
Jonathan said, "What did she mean by that, Arcane?" Jonathan really knew but felt it best that Arcane articulated it himself. Arcane said, "I think she meant that I must love again in order to stay alive and that it wouldn't be her this time." Jonathan nodded, "I agree, Arcane. Celeste really was wise wasn't she?" Arcane looked a little stunned as her being gone once again washed over him. He felt a little faint like he was dying. His face went pale. He said to Jonathan, "I talked to her spirit last night. She was in angel form." Jonathan said, "Wow! That's great, Arcane. I forget sometimes just how good you are at that."
Arcane went on, "Sometimes, Jonathan, being good at seeing and communicating with spirits can be more of a curse than a blessing." Jonathan thought a moment and said, "I can agree with that, Arcane. Especially if the spirits tell you things like the projected time and place of death of friends or relatives."
Arcane eyed Jonathan strangely, "You've experienced that, too? I've long been haunted by those kinds of facts. What's really bad is when you want to help the person or person in question live longer and the angel in authority says, "No!" Jonathan said, "Yeah. That's the worst. And then you just have to witness the death or deaths with your hands tied behind your back so to speak." ARcane with moisture in his eyes said, "At least we both know we did all we could." Jonathan said, "There's no blood on our hands then because we know it's God's Will." Arcane said resignedly, "Yep!"
With that Arcane pushed off and skied down off the ridge into glistenin virgin newly fallen powder snow. Jonathan followed on sis knowing that Arcane needed to lead so the pristine experience could begin to heal the loose ends that were now Arcane. Jonathan felt very bad for Arcane, especially because he knew from firsthand experience that the pain might lessen with time but that it would never really ever end.
Jonathan had an idea! When Arcane stopped to rest in a snow covered valley Jonathan quickly skied up and stopped next to him. "Hey, Arcane!" "Yes." said Arcane. "I have an idea." said Jonathan. "Why don't you go back in time and visit her a few times before she passed on?" Arcane looked thoughtful. "Y'know, I might just get permission for that as long as I don't tell her I'm from the future." Jonathan said, "It's just a thought."
New Chapter "God Help me to love myself as much as I do any other"
After skiing back to ARcane's mountain cabin Jonathan said goodbye to Arcane. Jonathan had to get the rental snowmobile back to McCloud and get a ride to his private plane at Mott Airport in Mt. Shasta. From there he would fly himself back to the coast.
Arcane resumed his lonely retreat in his cabin this first year without his Celeste. There were many friends and family that didn't want Arcane to be alone now. But in the end "It's a free country" and no one on earth could tell Arcane what to do.
During Arcane's retreat and meditations and soul travels he came upon the saying "God help me to love myself at least as I do any other." Arcane thought long and hard about this. Arcane had always had an easy time of loving others. Loving himself had always been very hard. He tried to look at this very carefully. Arcane decided he had trouble loving himself because so very much had always been expected of him since the Oracle of New Deva had predicted that he was to be the next world saver while he was only a young child. He had always had a fear of disapointing others. He had always been handsome and tall for his age (at least by New Deva standards) He was 5 foot 11 inches by the time he was 16. By 19 he was almost exactly 6 feet tall. 6 feet was also still a good height in the US and Europe and not so tall that he would stand out too much. As he looked closer at this fear of disapointing others it made sense to Arcane that thinking in this way made him a consummate over achiever. Being an overacheiver did not please him. It only pleased others. Arcane's pleasure had always been in not failing in any of his tasks. Once he had this figured out he was able to start to move forward to please himself. He was wise enough now to know that having lost his wife that if he couldn't love himself enough to take care of himself now that he would die soon either accidentally or directly on purpose.
Arcane had heard of men using women as a drug. Because of his obligations which were in some ways the responsibilities of a Prince or a King he had not allowed this hedonist way of thinking. Everything in his life had always been about duty and responsibility for others. Keeping himself alive even had always been about taking care of others, either family, friends, compatriots, soldiers and then later he was given the responsiblity by the Galactic Time Guard of preventing the extinction of life on earth by any means necessary.
Since Arcane, Celeste and his many descendants had been very wealthy indeed for about 800 years now he ralized he could begin to think more about himself. Arcane thought about what he wanted and needed now. He needed an adventure! If he could combine adventure that would be fun and healing for him and what would be good for other that it would be a winning combination for him. Arcane decided that he should summon Eridian and ask him what to do.
Author's note: I have been a conscious precognitive psychic since about age 3. I have been a conscious soul traveler beginning in my teens in the early 60's and fully in control of my travels by the early 70's when I was in my 20's. When I wrote the next section late Feb. and early March 2003 I was confused and upset by this next section on the next section on the Galactic Sentience and Arcane and Celeste and Eridian when I wrote it. This very likely could mean it's all true. My soul travels within this galaxy are all very clear or relatively clear in my mind. However, soul journeys to other Galaxies and dimensions are less clear because in other galaxies time and space are never the same as in this galaxy if they exist at all. At the very least time and space in other galaxies are not in a form I can usually meaningfully relate to or am familiar with. So very little of the memories of these experiences seem to be available to me. However, it is my belief that some day in the next 10 years I will be allowed to begin to better understand more and begin to write of some of these extragalactic experiences for you.
From my point of view at least the purpose of all of this is to create a roadmap so to speak for others to follow if they wish of the life, stars, and planets and beings within ou galaxy and eventually of outside of our galaxy for those on earth who will follow in my explorations of the last 30 or 40 years. If you consciously soul travel you will have had and will have different experiences than I have had or will have. That is to be expected. However, you and I follow a long lineage of the thousands and maybe now even millions of those who have consciously traveled the galaxy since humans first existed on earth.
Most who still soul travel are now called by us on earth: priests, ministers, shamans, psychics, therapists, healers and some doctors. I myself have sought out these soul travelers in this life who are presently Priests,ministers, therapists, Tibetan Lamas, Native American Medicine Men, Christian mystics, and various healers and doctors. The only real difference between most of them and me is that I feel a personal obligation in my personal covenant with God to write about my experiences for posterity whether that turns out to be the present, the future or through the I believe ever present time travel, the past. I also write for beings for other cultures off of earth within this Galaxy to promote brotherhood and sisterhood and beinghood throughout this galaxy and for friendly beings from all Galaxies. I don't consider myself to be the best writer. I only know for sure that what I write about is priceless and precious and timely and will help prevent the extinction of all life on earth, especially humans.
New Section
> The Galactic Sentience and ARcane
To continue: Arcane decided to ask Eridian what to do next. Eridian faded into the cabin living room like a spirit. For some reason he never fully took physical form. Eridian said perfunctorily. "You must go to visit the Galacti Sentience." Eridian then faded out.
Arcane was amazed. He couldn't figure out why he should go see the Galactic Sentience. For once he was more than a little scared. Only the extremely ignorant or the truly foolish would not be at least a little scared if they had to meet the immortal ruler of the whole galaxy. Arcane knew that even his surviving such a meeting was debatable. Everything he had seen or read on meetings with the Galactic Sentience mentioned a death of the person and a rebirth. One's memories of the events previous to ones meetings with the Galactic Sentience didn't change just everything about how one perceived everything in ones life during and after the meeting. Obviously, meeting the Galactic Sentience caused one to be reborn in consciousness and perception. Some physical beings could not withstand the meeting and simply physically died in the change.
Arcane knew he wouldn't physically die. He had a sense about things like this. However, he also knew he would never be the same again. It was as if the Galaxy had waited for his children and wife to pass on before they changed him into some other type of person or being. Arcane sent one thought to Eridian. He telepathed, "How should I go there?" Eridian said, "See yourself there now! All will be impressed with you at this accomplisment. They will know you are ready for your next step in evolution." Arcane said, "Evolution?" Eridian simply replied, "Be ready for anything like when you first met me out of the blue." Arcane said, "I understand, my friend.
Arcane now realized that to prepare too much for this would create more problems than solutions. So, like jumping off a cliff when it was time, Arcane simply visualized the Galactic Sentience in the Core of the Galaxy and he was there.
All of a sudden Arcane was with what appeared to be an electrical plasma storm which was much bigger than the whole Solar System. Arcane was amazed and shocked by this experience. The huge Electrical plasma storm seemed to be feeding on the energy and mass from the whirpool leading into a black hole. Arcane noticed his physical body was surrounded by the familiar green sentient see through sphere from future earth. Eridian was obviously helping him. Arcane heard laughter in his mind and then his mind was gone. It was very much like being in a dream. In Arcane's 'dream' the Galactic Sentience was communicating with him. He was aware of the immortal intelligence of this God-like being. There was also the 'glee' of this being in meeting with Arcane. The being said, "I have been waiting some time for you, Grandfather, to speak with you again." Arcane said, "Who is Grandfather?" The Galactic Sentience said, "Why you are, Arcane. You've just chosen to forget who you are for awhile. I think you told me that you would take a 2 billion year vacation from yourself while you regenerated your consciousness into something more useful and interesting to you." Arcane decided that this was all nuts. Arcane said to the Galactic Sentience. "Am I nuts or dreaming or what?" The Galactic Sentience just laughed and said, "I think the 'or what' would be the appropriate response."
Arcane's body was starting to tremble as he looked down at his heart. Some call this area of the body the 'Buddha Mind'. He was really scared now. There was no doubt about that. He was watching lights and sounds coming out of his heart in a voice he had never heard before. The lights and the voice said in speaking to the Galactic Sentience, "Grandson, you've done well as the Galactic Sentience of this Galaxy. I made an excellent choice in choosing you as my successor." There was laughter in the form of energy dancing around him and the energy storm and what had ever been real to Arcane was lost forever. When Arcane awoke from this he was aware that a great deal of time had passed. He was sitting alone cross legged floating in the green sphere. He remembered everything now. But he was definitely no longer Arcane, at least not the Arcane he remembered. He could still use the name Arcane but ARcane was entirely different now.
His recent experiences reminded him of an experience in a vision he had had once. In this vision he was in a dimension with no planets anywhere. He had had no physical body in this vision and was just a point of consciousness floating in an eternal sunset of orange, purple, pink and blue. There was no weight or stress and only peace there. The word "heaven" came to mind. Sometimes he had experienced this when he was just drifting off to sleep or just slowly waking up. In this eternal sunset with no up or down or planet or humans he could see in all directions. There was no earth or land or bodies or water anywhere. There was just the thousands of other souls nearby. There was no loneliness only peace and comfort and happiness. It was heaven.
Arcane felt like he had been to heaven and now he was someone else in the same body. It was like reincarnating as someone else in the same body with the old memories and now new ones too. The new Arcane was completely amazed. He was beginning to reintegrate. He became aware of the Galactic Sentience and woke up suddenly.
The Galactic Sentience smiled. He appeared in human form to Arcane. Arcane could see himself as an older man like a grandfather. The Galactic Sentience now appeared to him as a much younger man of about 35 years of age. The Galactic Sentience said once more to Arcane, "Hi Grandpa. I'm your grandson, Joseph." At first the new Arcane laughed and shockingly Joseph laughed along with him. It seemed as if they laughed for days about millions of things telepathically, wordlessly, amazingly. At the end of these seeming 'days' of laughing together Arcane finally got it. He got it all. A very mischievous look came over Joseph. He said, "There is just one more secret for you to remember. Celeste, Arrayin is the other half of your soul and perfectly reintegrated into you now. She's your twin or as some humans call it your split apart. We could only do what is happening now to you because you and she are one being here 'in the flesh' so to speak. You two get to be one in you natural state. I get to speak with my grandfather for a time and you, Arcane and Celeste as one get to experience who and what you really are---The Galactic Sentience who pass the Crown of Light to me--- so to speak."
Arcane? thought about all this. He finally said, "Yes. Celeste and I are one." Arcane thought. "I was the previous Galactic Sentience and Celeste and I created this Galaxy and I remember it all now." He looked out into the eyes of his grandson and said, "This might seem like a small thing but after all I am still a Time Guard Ambassador to Earth." Interjecting and smiling Joseph said, " And you are also a Time Guard Ambassador visiting me by the way." Arcane laughed and then Joseph joined him in the stupendous power of this last thought. For Arcane realized he had not even asked permission of the Time Guard to visit the Galactic Sentience. Joseph, had obviously dealt with this problem already and had made it disapear.
Arcane said, "Joseph, it becomes more clear to me exactly why my incarnations as Jonathan, His Oneness, King Interlaken, Eridian, Darshan etc. are all so well protected each in their own ways. I am literally one of the elder retired statesmen of the Galaxy." Joseph's eyes rolled up in his head. He was so relieved his grandfather was back. He said, "Exactly. This is why everything you do is so closely monitored by so many galactic beings. All wise beings know that you never do anything by accident. And if you are somewhere doing something in whatever form you are in it is always strategic to the whole galaxy. So millions of non-creators watch you as well as the trillions of creators who effortlessly monitor your every thought and move in physical and non physical universes.
Arcane got more serious. "All that is very well and good but why have you summoned me here in fullness at this time?" Joseph looked very sad and serious. "I need to consult with you on certain problems facing the galaxy and the future of the creators."
Arcane looked inside himself and then looked to Joseph and asked, "Am I well integrated enough at present for my comments to be of use to you?" Joseph said, "Actually, as far as objectivity goes you are perfect. I just have to be very careful how I state my problems to you and be sure I make my case as objective and as unemotional as possible." Arcane Celeste said, "It's the boredom factor of the immortal creators isn't it." Joseph looked sad, "Yes." Joseph went on, "We are losing at least one creator to entropy every earth day." Arcane was shocked. "That fast?" "I'm afraid so." Joseph went on,"However, I want to ask your opinion of whether we can afford to let a higher percentage of creators temporarily forget who they are so they can recreate as humans and other types of beings."
Arcane Celeste immediately had the answer. They said as one, "Joseph, if you allow them in 1,000,000 year shifts up to 33% could temporariliy forget who they are in order to recreate themselves at a time. Not only that retroactively doing this to the creators lost to entropy would automatically regenerate them." Joseph looked like a million pound weight had been taken of his shoulders. Joseph said, "Thank God!" Joseph looked like he was going to cry in relief. He said, "This is totally outside my career specialities of diplomatic and military logistics, Grandfather. After all, you always were the sociologist, planetary anthropologist and spiritual leader of this galaxy. Grandfather, I can do this but it's not my favorite thing like it is yours."
Arcane Celeste looked deeply into Joseph's eyes. They said as one, "You are the best at what you do, Joseph. There is a time for everything. You have won all the battles that the Galaxy needed you to and now our people are getting bored. You just need to send them off in new directions of creative endeavor until another Galactic crisis emerges. Then you can train others to quickly wake them up out of forgetfulness for the next battle for the survival of the Galaxy." Joseph said, "You and me Grandpa could rule the whole universe." Arcane Celeste said, "Look at the history of the universe, Joseph. Any creator that has tried to rule even three galaxies has failed miserably and sometimes up to 3 galaxies and the immortality of trillions of creators were permanently lost to the void."
"Is that so bad, Grandfather?" Arcane looked at Joseph and said, "You need a vacation, Joseph!" Joseph said, "I agree." Joseph went on, "I was thinking Grandpa, maybe I could split and go back as Arcane and into Celeste's next incarnation and just forget about ruling a Galaxy for a time so I could get a better perspective on it all." Arcane Celeste looked at Joseph incredulously and said, "If you don' think that would be too incestuous I think that could be arranged for a time. I would still be present like a guardian angel, Joseph,just so you didn't change the work ARcane and Celeste do, okay?" Joseph said, "Thank God you're back, Grandpa. I've done an excellent job for almost 1 billion years now but now I'm just getting tired of it all." Arcane Celeste then said, "Hoave you contacted the council of Creators?" Joseph Said,"Yes, Grandfather." Arcane Celeste said, "What did they say?" Joseph said, "They said I needed a vacation but they didn't want me gone for very long." Arcane Celeste said, "Just take the time you need to heal your soul and recreate yourself." Joseph said, "Okay Grandpa. Also you could implement the training of special creators to help the creators on vacation to forget who they are for a time and for bringing them back to full memory and consciousness as creators in the future." Arcane Celeste looked at Joseph. He was care worn. Arcane Celeste said, "I'd like you to test drive ARcane's life right now." ARcane Celeste put his her thumb on Joseph's forehead and watched as Joseph changed into the appearance and memory of Arcane and "whoosh" he was gone.
New Chapter Joseph Takes a Vacation
Joseph was grateful to finally take a vacation from being the full time Galactic Sentience for so long. However, now that he was installed in ARcane's body he was having second thoughts. He thought despite his second thoughts he would at least try a few days. Joseph still remembered who he was and who he had always been. Joseph was ARcane just like someone you know who is asleep overnight might lucidly control their dream in becoming one kind of being or another as they desired.
As Joseph visited not only Arcane's body but also his cabin on Mt. Shasta he also had to deal with Celeste being passed on. However, since Joseph ARcane was also simaltaneously aware of himself as Joseph he could easily reconcile ideas like Grandpa Arcane and Grandma Celeste are presently together running the Galaxy. Therefore, any feelings that ARcane might be having about missing Celeste are irrelevant because they are actually together and happy at the moment.
However, when he actually started reconciling all this it started to become such a complete joke to him that he started laughing and couldn't stop. Joseph ARcane realized quickly that this was not very healthy psychologically. So Joseph ARcane decided to go outside and go skiing. So he put on ARcane's skiing gear and then went outside and put ARcane's skis on. However, at this precise moment Joseph ARcane realized he could will himself up to 11,000 feet effortlessly.
Now this would have been just perfect except for one thing. There happened to be a satellite that was tracking him since he was a known UN official and it created quite a stir at the US Pentagon. At this point Arcane's biocom said, "Arcane, you've just created a time anomaly that has to be corrected." Joseph Arcane said, "Biocom. Do you know who I am?" Biocom seemed perturbed a little. He said, "YOu should be ARcane. But I can now ascertain that you are a different spirit. Who are you?" Joseph Arcane said, "I need to speak with ARcane's superior at the galactic Core. Tell him this is a level one change." Biocom said, "I'm relieved that at least this will get resolved now." Time General Blue came on and said,"What is the level one emergency, Arcane?" Joseph Arcane said, "I'm Joseph, the Galactic Sentience on vacation as Arcane." General Blue said, "What are you talking about?" Biocom said, "If I may General?" "Go ahead, Biocom Arcane." Biocom went on. "I and the sentient robots of the Galactic Core have ascertained that Joseph ARcane is telling the truth."
General Blue said, "What?" You mean this is really the Galactic Sentience, Biocom?" Biocom said, "Yes, General. I'm afraid so." General Blue said, "Your Decisiveness? If I may be so bold, who's running the galaxy?" Joseph Arcane said, "I'm taking a break but I'm on call. We creators have a chain of command." General Blue said, "Then Arcane, our agent is a creator?" Joseph ARane knew he had to be careful how he answered this. "Arcane didn't know we was a creator until today." General Blue said, "When will he come back to his body?" Joseph Arcane said, "Pretty soon because I"m feeling claustrophobic in human form.
General Blue laughed. He said, "Being a young creator myself I can only imagine how difficult this is for you." Joseph Arcane said, "You're Blue Star aren't you?" General Blue said, "Biocom Arcane, you're right this is Joseph, the Galactic Sentience on Break. I'll take care of any anomaly created there on earth. Biocom Said, "Thank you, General."
Instantly ten minutes back in time the satellite malfunctioned so it didn't see Joseph Arane disappear on skis outside his cabin at 5000 feet and reappear on skis at 11,000 feet.
However, Joseph Arcane was now terribly embarrassed because after all he was the Galactic Sentience and more was always expected of him. He had just majorly screwe up time as Arcane. He decided to try one more thing before he went back to Grandpa Arcane and Grandma Celeste to try something else to recreate himself on the relatively short break he was taking.
Joseph Arcane at this point decided to meet his ongoing alter incarnation that had no memory of his being the Galactic Sentience. He would go meet his other incarnation as Henry, who is ARcane and Celeste's grandson living on Maui, Hawaii. Henry is now living around the year 3000 ad near Lahaina on Maui on an estate that he had inherited from Grandma Celeste. After all, he was her favorite grandchild. By now Henry was well over 400 years old and had married 7 or 8 times because each of his wives had passed on. He found it difficult but not impossible to keep passing on this estate to himself, as he changed identities and regenerated himself. He had many many children and grandchildren and even great great grandchildren the by now seemed to visit him about every other week from all over the world. Having a rich relative with an estate on Maui is always a treat.
However, today Joseph Arcane picked up the phone and said, "Hi Henry. It's Arcane." Henry was amazed. He hadn't had a direct call from Arcane in years even though he saw him at least twice a year at family reunions. Henry said, "Arcane. It's so good to talk to you."
Note: Henry doesn't know he is the Galactic Sentience, only Joseph knows it. The part of Joseph inhabiting Henry has forgotten he is part of the God like being that runs the galaxy.
Joseph Arcane said, "Henry. Care if I come for a visit?" Henry said, "Arcane! You know you don't even have to ask." Arcane said, "Clear the living room I'll be right there." Instantly, Joseph Arcane was in Henry's living room. Henry said, "Wow! Grandpa Arcane. I didn't know it was safe to do that sort of thing on earth anymore?" Joseph said, "It's not safe. I just did it because I was bored." Henry was concerned. "This isn't like you, Grandpa. It must be because Grandma Celeste is gone." Joseph Arcane said, "It's true I'm having some problems." Henry said, "What can I do to help, Grandpa?" Arcane looked at Henry and simply said, "Walk with me on the beach, Henry." Henry naively said, "Sure, Grandpa."
As they walked on the beach Joseph Arcane poured his heart out to Henry. After listening to Joseph Arcane Henry said, "You sould like you might be having a nervous breakdown, Grandpa." Joseph Arcane said, "I've got to go to the Galactic Core on emergency business." Henry said, "I hope everything turns out okay, Grandpa.
As Joseph Arcane disappeared Henry wondered what was going to happen to Grandpa now that Grandma Celeste was gone. For that matter what was going to happen to Himself. What was going to happen to Henry? No one's presence seemed to satisfy Henry for long like just being around Grandma Celeste did. Henry wished his Dad, George, Arcane's oldest son had chosen to stay alive. But his Dad, George, had always been so serious, like Arcane. Henry on the other hand had always been a bit of a playboy adventurer and world traveler. Even settling down on Maui seemed pretty tame compared to the life he used to live climbing mountains and exploring the ocean floor of the world's oceans as well as his escapades on many planets of the solar system and beyond. For Henry was now a retired world famous mountain climber, deep sea marine biologist, and planetary and asteroid explorer. However, he had to have each of these identities be separate for obvious reasons. Each identity had lasted 50 to 100 years each. Henry seriously hoped Grandpa ARcane would be okay. Henry knew ARcane needed his parents or his son but both were gone at least as far as Henry knew.
New Chapter Joseph gives up being Arcane
To Arcane and Celeste it seemed like about 5 minutes after Joseph left to try out being Arcane he was back. Joseph said, "It's just too confining to work for me. I can't be Arcane now." said Joseph.
Arcane Celeste said, "Yes. We agree. You are too stressed to appreciate the full beauty of actually being Arcane." Arcane Celeste pondered a moment and then said, "I'm going to send you back to what we creators were before we created the matter and antimatter galaxy we now live in and on.
Joseph said, "I've heard you talk about htis a lot but it is true I've never personally experienced what it was like before our creator family created this galaxy." Arcane Celeste smiled. This was going to be good and ARcane Celeste said, "Are you willing to temporarily give up all your memories and become a pregalactic. Joseph smiled and got sort of dreamy eyed and said, "Yes. You're right! This is what I need to do to really understand who we are and what we really came from." Arcane Celeste said, "Done." Arcane Celeste put their right thumb on Joseph's forehead and he just faded out of existence. The galactic creator's council was privy to all actions that transpired. ARcane and Celeste communicated. Celeste said, "Arcane, is he going to experience you and I as teenager Creators." Arcane smiled and said to Celeste, "Yes. However, he will put his own twist on things. I personally think it's just the thing to heal his soul. It will be a sort of Creator Outward Bound experience.
New Chapter The PreGalactic Creators
Drifting- Drifting- Drifting- Drifting- The new Joseph said to his long time girlfriend. "How long have we been drifting? His girlfriend, Dawn said, "What do you mean, How Long?" "Now why had he asked that?" she thought to herself. Then Dawn communicated again. "Joseph?" "Yes?" He said. Dawn tried again. "Joseph. See that group of Galaxies over here." Joseph said, "Yes." "Well. We've been drifting since they were over there." Joseph pondered this. A part of him said, "That would have been trillions of years." Now how had he known that? He and Dawn had been drifting blissfuly happy and alone for trillions of years in their so called Dark Matter love nest. After all, what was time to the Drifters as they called themselves. They knew some of their distant relatives as well as their parents had created Galaxies and had gotten all busy with themselves but after all he and Dawn were just teen age lovers. They weren't even married yet. Creating Galaxies and running them was very serious business. If you created a galaxy then you had to run it and then protect it from all comers. What a complete pain in the butt that was. Adult Drifters called themselves Creators. What a bunch of Hooey. You'd think they all thought they were all better than us drifters. After all, what was better than just drifting? Who needs the commitment of making and maintaining a galaxy and having trillions of kids who depend on you. What a bunch of crap that was!
"Oh Joseph! By the way I'm pregnant. You need to create a Galaxy for our kids to grow up in." Joseph was struck dumb. The terrible moment had arrived. He either had to ditch her and the kids which could cause her and the kids to die of starvation or he had to agitate time and space to create a moving flux between matter and antimatter for her and eventually the kids to feed on. His parents had always told him this day would come. They kept telling him about this until he and Dawn had eloped off into the void somewhere into their Dark Matter drifting paradise of love.
Joseph already was feeling agitated. He didn't know whether he was happy or angry. Maybe a little of both. He sensed his children reaching out of Dawn's womb for help, for their survival. He started to jump and vibrate in a way he'd never had as a child or teenager. Dawn said, "Oh, Joseph. You are so amazing." He really got into the act now. The dark matter started to spark in anger and fury as oscillations between matter and antimatter began. The sparks stung his sides. Joseph screamed in pain at first but then he remembered what his father had told him. Dad had said, "Oscillate but then watch so you can avoid the sparks because they can be deadly." So Joseph oscillated and then rested a moment so he could avoid the worst sparks. Later he realized that the sparks didn't hurt Dawn. So Joseph taught Dawn to eat the sparks that rose from the oscillations. She grew bigger and more ominous each time she did this until she was bigger than him. He got a little scared. Then he remembered how his father had said male Drifters when turned into Creator men couldn't eat sparks. They could only eat the smaller even streams of plasma. So Joseph created a small plasma stream and then fed on it. It tasted good like liquid light. He father always had said these streams were magic and were the essence of adult creator life. For some reasons his oscillations took less energy than the energy plasma that resulted. He immediately saw that this was because of the pendulum effect between matter and then antimatter then matter then antimatter before it moved toward subsiding a long time later. So Joseph found by experimenting that he sould swing the doorway once and then feed at least four times along with Dawn and the kids feeding and then if he repeated it before the fourth swing many times in succession he could supercharge the whole arena up into an entirely different space time matter antimatter continuum. As the kids grew the boys started to emulate Dad and took turns "supercharging" and "superchugging" the matter antimatter continuum. Joseph started to notice that dust on the matter side was starting to coalesce into Stars and Nebulae. Dawn said, "Oh, look at all the pretty colors, Joseph. Do that again. Ohhh!" So the boys and Joseph started to become artists to impress Dawn and all the girls. By this time there were about 1/2 million children. Joseph and Dawn were now seen as the Patriarch and Matriarch of this galaxy and of course, Mom and Dad. Sometimes, Mom and Dad and about half of the kids at a time would go out to the edge of their home light show so they could all see their relatives light shows in other galaxies. Sometimes relatives from other Galaxies light shows would come to visit and meet the half million kids and their parents. Millions and millions of real time years had passed now and the kids were growing up.
As Joseph was resting one eon with Dawn he heard a voice. It was his Grandfather ARcane. It was ARcane Celeste. "Joseph, Please come speak with me." Joseph knew he was dreaming. In his dream he met Grandpa and Grandma Arcane Celeste. Arcane Celeste said, "Joseph, how do you like family life?" Joseph said, "I like it Grandpa. Can I stay here?" "Just a little longer, Joseph." said Arcane Celeste.

Written April 7th 2004
When the Creators Arcane Celeste returned to the Galactic Core and remembered they were the creators of the Milky Way Galaxy they realized that Joseph had been the Galactic Sentience that they had installed in their place temporarily. (a billion years or so)By this time Joseph had been on the job this one billion years while Arcane and Celeste had chosen to temporarily forget that they were the creators of the galaxy in order to recreate themselves. All Creators can potentially do this because they don't live in time and space at least as we know it. In fact, to their basic time sense the galaxy only exists an instant and looks a lot to them like a large fireworks going off in the air would to us. However, they also have the ability to "bend" time by oscillating between matter and antimatter universes at specific frequencies that cause them to run time at any speed and to literally go to any time and at any size past, present or future that they wish. This is an art like learning to ride a boogy board or surf board in the ocean is for us and their point of view actually doing this is quite similar to the experience of surfing for a human on earth.
I'll recount the Joseph story from the top of my head. Once Joseph decided to forget who he was for a period of recreation of his consciousness he was put into Arcane and Celeste's memories of creating the Galaxy since he is one of their many grandsons who they had chosen to be the Galactic Sentience. Joseph was chosen to be in charge while Arcane and Celeste were manifesting as various kinds of physical and other types of beings over that same period of approximately 1 billion years at least as humans know time.
In this consciously created dream, Joseph becomes a Drifter and Celeste becomes Dawn for this memory recreation. So Joseph and Dawn begin to remember their childhood in the two different Galaxies they were raised in while visiting Joseph's home in the Orion Nebula. When they first got together there was opposition to their relationship within both his family and hers. So they decided to avoid all these family issues by leaving all galaxies since most nearby galaxies were created by relatives. Joseph and Dawn just began to drift out into dark matter away from all galaxies and away from both their families. There is a tradition of doing this form of self exile which sometimes turns into beginning both a family and a galaxy to feed the family. Joseph and Dawn drifted like this for an unimaginable period of time for a human. Since Joseph and Dawn had not become Creators yet they were still Drifters which is a stage of development comparable to unmarried teenagers. To become a full creator one must marry and begin to have children. That is how one becomes a full fledged Creator. The Creators of a galaxy have a special revered status for Creators, however as very few that go away from their home galaxies and into dark matter survive to create Galaxies. Many die of lonelines or isolation from other creators and drifters. Also a Creator in Drifter stage is not really a matter-antimatter being yet. When he or she leaves the galaxy and all contact with other creators or drifters he or she could be refered to as a Dark matter being without form at least as humans know it.
Since I cannot scientifically describe what Dark Matter really is I will simply say that it exists and that one of the pre-creators' stages of development over billions and billions of years is as a dark matter being.
Here I must point out that not all creators choose to create galaxies, most just live within their extended families within galaxies and sometimes create nebulae within those galaxies. Only the most independant leave the galaxy with a girlfriend or alone. Only those with a girlfriend who becomes pregnant even try to create a galaxy for their children to feed on and prosper. Many who go this path fail or die or both so it is not a path for the faint of heart. Joseph and Dawn in this dream recreation are able to survive and live somehow in Dark matter and didn't have to live in galaxies to survive. They didn't need air, nor water, or food at least as we know it. They were able to live marginally somehow drifting and consuming dark matter to maintain life in their pre-creator bodies. They had not yet been forced by a pregnancy to become matter-antimatter beings in order to feed matter energy and antimatte energy to their offspring so they could grow and survive for multi billions of years.
It is my personal belief that the chance of success of such a couple venturing out was and is about the chance of the first settlers in the western United States having to brave weather, the elements, starvation, hostile indians, illness, childbirth without a doctor or even a sanitary environment etc.
When a pre-creator or Drifter which is sort of a teen-age couple decides to be a parent or accidentally becomes a parent the male must care for the female and the children or she will die in childbirth if she cannot be rescued by her family or friends in her home galaxy.
In order to feed his pregnant girlfriend or wife, the male drifter begins to oscillate dark matter between matter and antimatter.
Note:In order to more fully comprehend this process, I am illustrating a type of metamorphosis similar to what a person experiences when they go to sleep and then dream such a prophetic dream that it completely changes their life when they wake up.
Another metaphor is the dragonfly who before he unfurls his or her wings lives underwater crawling usually along under the water in a lake or stream. Then he or she crawls up onto a hopefully dry rock, floating log or dry ground and cracks open his or her shell and unfurls his or her wet wings and lets them dry and then flies away into the sky. Such is the metamorphosis that teenage parent pre-creators go through to survive and become Co-Creators of a galaxy.
These are my real experiences as a mystic, adept and as a precognitive psychic. I see what I am writing much the same as all the shamans and priests, seers and prophets all around the world who can really SEE and who tell creation stories. It is in the same tradition as the tribal shamans who told the creation stories.
It is my hope that you too will write your own creation stories or histories that empower you and your children in your lives and on into the future as well. end note
Dawn is a part being played in this recreating dream of Joseph that is being lived in a living dream by both Joseph and Celeste. Arcane returns to being The Galactic Sentience for a time while Dawn occupies Joseph in this pursuit of the healing of Joseph or better said the Recreation of Joseph. This healing and recreating dream Joseph is now having totaly empowers Joseph in totally new directions. In his physical life when Joseph awakes from his recreating dream he may choose to find an eligible female Creator to mary and have children and therby evolve beyond his role as a monastic or solitary military strategist that has kept the Milky Way safe and secure for over 1 billion years. When Joseph returns from his dream it is likely optional whether he returns to being the Galactic Sentience or whether Arcane will return to his original place or whether some other Galactic Sentience will be chosen. There are always 10 to 20 Creators in training at all times to ensure that there is always a trained Galactic Sentience available to serve in that role. This is to ensure that there will never be a gap in Galactic leadership among the Creators of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Joseph was on of Arcane and Celeste the Creators' exceptional grandchildren. Joseph was then trained by Arcane and Celeste the Creators to run the galaxy in their perceptual absense. Joseph's father was the son of Arcane and Celeste and Joseph's mother was from another nearby galaxy. Joseph's father was inspired by his fathre Arcane Creator and so Joseph's father began creating a nebulae. He created the Orion Nebulae as a personal lifework. Joseph's mother whose name is Cassiopeia and his father created the Orion Nebbulae together. Then when Joseph was born he helped maintain the Orion Nebule. Since a nebulae is in many ways a micro galaxy, Joseph was asked to become the next Galactic Sentience by Arcane Creator and Celeste Creator.
This is why when I as a 21 or 22 year old asked to meet god I met Joseph who appeared to me as the God who had created me while I found myself soul travelling in the Orion Nebulae. All the creators are literally Gods but they function more like the Gods of the Greek Pantheon. There are basic laws of the universe within which all creators function. So they are very much to the physical universe what humans are to earth. The oldest creators tend to be the leaders for they are the ones who have survived the longest and hopefully have become the most wise in the process.
So this takes me back to what is God and what is life? "I think therefore I am." Then I could say. "What am I?" "What is me?" I would then say I am a part of the active consciousness of the Creator of this Galaxy who is recreating himself and herself through thousands and possibly millions of incarnations throughout the galaxy simaltaneously. Because I am a part of the Creators of this galaxy I am Galactic Royalty. And what might that make you? My answer would be look within yourself and around you for the truth. Seek and you shall find!
And so when Joseph came to me in the Orion Nebulae when I was 21 or 22 he told me that he was the God that created me. I believed him as he was not human but pure energy. I knew powerfully in my soul what he told me was true. However, in reality I, as a part of the Creators of this galaxy was actually put to sleep by my grandson the appointed Galactic Sentience and put into thousands to millions of incarnations as humans and other types of beings in order to recreate my awareness for ongoing immortality as a Creator. For Creators are not bound by the laws of time as space as temporary mortal humans are. To know you are the creator manifested in human form gives me the strength to go on and to be compassionate and helpful to all sentient beings.
Another way to say it would be to say that when Joseph came to me he was the God that created me in that he oversaw a part of my consciousnes which pretended to be a human on earth. Arcane, Co-creator of this Galaxy who became Fred, a child on earth but still built in the image of the Creator. In this sense I am created in the image of the God that I am. I was built to temporarily not remember who I really was until it was useful both to Fred and to the Galaxy, to Arcane Co-Creator and to Joseph the present Galactic Sentience.
Joseph was representative of the God that created me. And so my grandson came to me and told me who I was and empowered me to go on living as a human and a godman upon earth and to be kind and helpful to all beings as both Jesus and Buddha taught. And so Joseph even though my grandson was acting as a surrogate parent or uncle in telling me the rules of behavior to go on living as a god in human form on earth. He gave me excellent rules of advice in order to behave properly as a God in human form on Earth. Because what IAM is much more than a human and this encompasses infinite states of awareness. And so if we are all aware of it then we we are all Living Buddhas or Christs if you Will!
Notes on my life as A Ray In by Celeste Weaver
Since it is now November 2005 and I will be alive for another thousand years it is time in my heart to speak to you about A Ray In who was a previous incarnation of myself.
First of all I must tell you that A Ray In was not the mother of His Oneness. I would like to take credit for that but it is mostly Jonathan's doing because of his own issues. Elohar was the real mother of His Oneness. This was an issue for Jonathan because Elohar is the next incarnation of his mother. It is quite understandable that he would feel this way because reincarnation does push a lot of people's buttons when these kind of issues arise.
Second, though it is not a nice subject I caused the fall of Tech Noir and his government on Isfahel. The Oracle of New Deva told me as a young woman that I would have to die horribly to save my planet and people New Deva from extinction. The Oracle told me to go to Tech Noir and to seduce him. Since I was both a Saint and a virgin at the time I could thereby capture his essence and leave him powerless. Though I knew I would die in this process and leave my beloved Arcane alone I gladly gave up my life for my people. For this I became an even more powerful Saint in Death to my people and along with Arcane we became the two Lost Hero Saints most beloved by my people of New Deva.
However, you must realize reading this that I died for real and Arcane was like a walking robot for some time in living on like a ghost without me or his planet or his people. Only by throwing himself physically and spiritually into his work as a member of the Galactic Time Guard and the civilizations of Earth could he stay alive at all. His first wish was to die with me.
I convinced him from coaching him after my death to go on. First, I demanded him to give the Coup De Grace (Death Blow) to Tech Noir and then to leave New Deva never to return in any time after the 6 months of celibrating the demise of Tech Noir and the saving of our planet New Deva.
It could be said that my sacrifice and Arcane's sacrifice saved our civilization. I could also be said that both Arcane and I paid a terrible price for the saving of our planet and civilization.
Arcane and A Ray In Meet as young people
Yes. I remember it well. Remember. I was Fire Crystal just before becoming A Ray In. I took Arcane when he was the boy, Darshan, to Heaven with me. I stayed there with him. Then I left and had him eventually follow me to New Deva. So when Arcane was 11 I was 15.
I met him at the Temple of the Dragons of Compassion. I had been eagerly waiting for him to arrive. After the Teacher Oracle of our Order took over Arcane's body he was still in shock and walked out. Since I was a very gifted Seer I observed all that took place at a distance. As he walked out of the body takeover (which by the way many do not survive!) I was waiting for him. His face paled from the experience he had just had and his consciousness was still in shock.
I walked up to Arcane in the radiantly beautiful form I wore at 15 and enveloped him in my consciousness. He looked at me as if he was in a dream. I called out to him, "Darshan! Do you remember me?" Arcane almost fainted but in his courageous way he stood his ground. He said, "Fire Crystal! Where have you been? I have been looking for you my whole life!" Since I was much taller than he at 15 than he at age 11 I embraced him and we were one. That moment convinced us both that we were each others 'One and Only'. This relationship was sealed and Holy until my death which was caused by Tech Noir. When Tech Noir realized what I had done to destroy him he had his closest officers rape me until I died.
Arcane is too much of a gentleman to tell you any of this. I honor him for that. However, I want you to know what an awful heinous being Tech Noir really was. He really did deserve to die the second death! And not just on my account either!
note: (The Second death is the death of a Soul. As you may know in physics nothing can either be created or destroyed. It only can be transformed into somtthing else. Likewise a soul still remains a soul. However, the second death permanently removes all previous memories of the soul. The soul returns to perfect innocense once again.) end note.
When I was dying I psychicly screamed for Arcane. He then heard me and observed all that was happenning. Arcane and Tech Noir locked for a moment in a long distance psychic battle. Then Arcane saw that I must be saved so he yanked my soul permanently out of my body with Eridian's help. At this moment, Tech Noir was completely terrified and broken in a way you couldn't even imagine. At that moment I realized I had completely destroyed Tech Noir's will to live. I knew that moment that Arcane both could and would take his body and that he would die the Second Death! I knew my heinous death would be revenged by God through Arcane and Eridian and that my culture and world and all I held near and dear would be saved! Though deeply in pain on all levels I still maintained mental clarity while watching the soul death present in Tech Noir's eyes I permanently left my beautiful but now broken body.
You have all heard the saying of:" Behind every great man is a great woman". Well I have another saying: "Behind the fall of every great man is a great woman". Women support men or they destroy them. That is the blunt and honest truth. It cuts both ways.
After I separated from my body as A Ray In I still had a very strong will even stronger than Arcane's. However, I was a spiritual and emotional wreck so I went to Earth's heavens to be healed as New Deva's heavens were not the appropriate place to go just yet. Within 100 years I went to the New Deva Heavens but soon after that I was born as Celeste Weaver on a non religious planet based totally upon humanitarianism with all religions outlawed. It wasn't that people weren't allowed to believe in God. It was that they weren't allowed to organize any religions. As a result when children became adults on my planet sometimes they moved to planets that allowed religions. My planet was not Godless it was just religionless. So people had altars in their homes to pray to whatever God or Gods they believed in but that was as far as it went. People still were allowed to talk about God and even to study about God and religions they just weren't allowed to organze religions.
A Ray In was a turning point for me. Up until my incarnations of Fire Crystal and A Ray In I had been moving toward more and more altruistic goals as a soul. The damage done to my soul as A Ray In turned me another direction away from religions and towards humanism. I still was just a spiritual a person and soul. However, it took on new kinds of meanings in a humanistic based society. The settlers of my homeworld. We called our world Humanity One. (There were eventually founded Humanity One through Ten. So in the end there were 10 worlds that aligned in this type of world government that did not allow religions. However, it must be noted that we eventually had the same problem with Atheists that Earth in your time has with Extremists in Religions.
In other words Atheists, since they were not a religion with a God, organized and said that all people who believed in God should be mindwiped (have their memories scrubbed) and so a civil war began on Humanity One which wiped out half our population about 100 years after I grew up and left there. Since I am older than that now I have already lost almost half my relatives that remained on Humanity One since I left in this awful War. So as you can see even if you eliminate religions, people still find ways of creating havoc whether through atheism, science or even sports. On some planets people are so loyal to their sports teams that they battle for weeks if their team loses. In the end if people aren't happy for any reason at all they find some stupid reason or other to be violent and to wipe out half or more of their species on any given planet.

Chapter One "One may have too many lives but never too many loves."
Arcane sat with Celeste. All their children had chosen one by one to terminate the life in their bodies. They had all lived 500 to 800 years respectively. Celeste was now over 1000 years old in real years and Arcane had lived even longer in his body.
Celeste looked up into Arcane's eyes and said, "Arcane, I just can't go on without the children. I think you understand this better than anyone."She looked up into his eyes for a response. It came quick. Arcane said, "I understand, My Dear. However, you must understand that I am not free to leave my body as you are. I have made commitments." Celeste smiled wryly. "I realize those commitments are more important than I and the children." Arcane frowned. "They are not more important but they are equally important to me. Even with you and the children gone I must go on for the greater good of all beings. Besides, I must live on for our 10,000+ descendants who now look to me for guidance." Celeste looked relieved. She finally said, "Yes. That is good. There is no greater leader than you that I have ever met, my World Saver. It looks to me that you will continue to be a leader and live on for everyone." Her eye looked beseachingly into his as she said, "Arcane, live on for me, too!" Arcane said, "I will, dear. It will be lonely without you, my love!" She said, "Maybe I'll come again in a new body somewhere and we can be friends again." Arcane said, "I'd like that Celeste."
Once again Celeste burned her eyes into Arcane. She said one last thing. "One may have too many lives, my dear, but never too many loves!" With that she slipped away. A tear fell from Arcane's eyes and the eyes of all the grandchildren present. He knew what she meant. She meant he would have other loves and maybe other wives before he died. Sometimes, he thought she was even more prescient than he was. He walked out of the room never to return. His grandchildren, all at least 700 years old now knew he would never return to this palatial estate in Switzerland. They wondered privately if they would ever see their revered grandfather ever again. They knew he traveled the galaxy to make things better for all beings. Many times he appeared and disapeared to them at will. To them he was not only their revered Grandfather but their Patron Saint.
However, most of all they knew they would miss most of all their loving, kind and always wise and prescient Grand mother. Many of the 10,000+ descendants of Arcane and Celeste were secret Galactic travelers and most of the rest could soul travel the universe as well. They had all been taught well by Grandfather Arcane. They definitely were an unusual and amazing family line.
Arcane's Grandchildren still visited Jonathan once a year on the California coast where he still lived. He had been regenerated many times with Galactic help and still traveled and wrote extensively. He had become more eccentric with the hundreds of years that had passed since his birth but he still liked to reminisce about the first times Arcane and Jonathan met on Earth.
For some reason the incidents in San Francisco, Tahiti and in Hawaii on Oahu and Maui at Haleakala Crater seemed to peek the interests of Arcane and Celeste's descendants the most. It must have been the unusual story of two off worlders from different planets and times finding each other 900,000 years in the past from where Arcane and Celeste were born and getting together and bringing about this amazing family of Universal travelers and explorers. I myself am amazed just recounting it today for you all to read.
Arcane and Celeste had both worked tirelessly to help build a world Government that worked a lot like the United States did. In other words alliances became stronger and stronger until they merged and created an Earth Government that resembled a United States with each nation state as one of the states. However, a parliamentary form of World Government emerged. Everything that had worked in nation state Governments that had benefitted all beings was built into the most amazing and useful worldwide system of Government ever known on earth. In this way Nuclear proliferation ceased to be a problem and the earth in emergencies thought and acted as One allied state.
Chapter 2 A Painful Ending and New Beginning
Arcane walked out of Celeste's bedroom in Switzerland.He had a duplicate android of himself that took flights from country to country so no one would notice he didn't fly in planes unless he was piloting them himself.The android would go to his apartment in New York and house sit for him while he was gone. He willed himself back to Mt. Shasta where he still owned 2 1/2 acres at about 5000 feet on Mt. Shasta. When he had first built the cabin there were no power lines to his land it was so remote. At first he had used Aladdin Lamps run by kerosene and a good wood stove to keep warm even when the snow was 4 to 7 feet deep or more in the winters there. Like Jonathan, Arcane had always been drawn to the mountain and its natural accentuation of intuitive gifts. He found it quite easily to move physically to any time or space with his physical body even though he was now well over 1000 years old. His body had been regenerated within the last three years by medical sentient robots dispatched to his remote mountain cabin so he looked once again like about 30 years old. He was very healthy and athletic looking. He liked to get out on his Mountaineering cross country skis with metal edges and ski the newly fallen virgin snow.
Also like Jonathan, Skiing had always reminded him of Jesus walking on water and was very rejuvenating and exhilerating for him. This was especially true in the high alpine conditions between 5000 feet and 10,000 feet in elevation on Shasta. Now for Arcane is about 3000 AD. Five hundred years ago, Arcane had installed a private perfectly quiet cold fusion generator at his now highly modified cabin and acreage. It supplied all heat and power needed to keep the interior at 60 degrees farerheit year round so the water pipes connected to the well pump and pressure tank didn't freeze and so no mold occured in his cabin during his long absenses of up to 8 months when it wasn't snow ski season.
He usually spent Christmas alternately in Switzerland or New York or with his grandchildren in the various parts of the world where they lived. Now Celeste was gone he didn't quite know how he would handle Christmas. After Christmas, each year he and Celeste had retreated to Mt. Shasta unless there was a war emergency at the United Nations for the months of January through April. They would spend New Years somewhere on earth with the kids or grandkids and then go by the 5th to Shasta. Sometimes, Celeste got bored with the Mountain fastness and would visit relatives while Arcane was there. However, he never tired of the mountain because he was busy working off planet for 6 months at a time and then he would return the next moment after he left. Celeste used to make sure she was there at the cabin for a week after he returned from his 6 month stints off planet to reinforce and recreate him and their relationship. He would repeat this about every 30 days while in their remote cabin on Mt. Shasta.
In May he would return to his apartment in New York or his Estate in Switzerland depending on the needs of the earth and his familt's many far flung business interests worldwide. It had been tricky for Arcane and Celeste to reinherit their estates after they had presumably passed on. After a few hundred years they created special trusts to children and grandchildren or greatgrandchildren that their new Identities were executors of. As executors they could allocate how and where there finances were dealt with. Their children and grandchildren understood what was happening so there was no problem. There had been times when a descendant under 20 had let the secret out. But for Arcane, repairing time was his job now for over 1000 years. Most of the time he didn't have to deal with it at all because his biocom or Celeste's called in those necessary to change time so it hadn't happened.
However, now Celeste had given the Swiss Estate to the Grandchildren. So he would now go between their Manhattan apartment and his Swiss Chalet in the Alps and his cabin on Mt. Shasta.
Arcane found time travel anywhere in the Galaxy easier from Mt. Shasta than for any place on earth. Mt. Kailash was another good time travel port for exit and entry from and to earth but most of his family lived in Europe, the US, Canada and Australia or New Zealand. So he found Mt. Shasta just more convenient. However, if he was travelling as a diplomat to another Galaxy. Mt. Kailash was the best choice. He would then do it as a relay. He would start on Shasta, and get a time boost from His Oneness's Time relay left in Mt. Shasta since ancient Lemurian times, then he would boost to Mt. Kailash and then go supernova to whatever Galaxy he was needed in.
However, this time when he physically appeared in his cabin everything was different. Celeste was gone. It reminded him of the horror he had felt when Celeste's previous lifetime as his betrothed Arrayin and when she was tortured and died at the hands of Tech Noir. Arcane's body shuddered involuntarily.
He had asked Celeste years ago once she had gotten used to remembering past lives again if she had sacrificed herself as Arrayin so he would terminate Tech Noir for sure. She had smiled coyly and said matter of factly, "It was the only way to fully empower you to save our people, Arcane." Just thinking about all that gave him chills even though it was 1400 years in Arcane's past in real time.
Right now 1400 years ago seemed just like yesterday to Arcane. He thought this might be because Arrayin as Celeste had passed on again. He didn't know if he would ever see her in the physical world again. She was just gone!
Arcane's thoughts of Celeste drew her spirit near to him. She appeared like the angel she always was. Arcane was surprised by her warm spirit. He said to her, "You are so beautiful like the first time I met you as Celeste!" She said, "I feel pretty good, too." He said, "Do you remember the first time we met in Atlantis when I was the boy, Darshan?" "Of course Arcane. But that wasn't the first time we met. I guess it isn't really useful to you at present to know about them in your present lifetime." Arcane said, "Yes. This is true. I'm having trouble with all this because I'm having to cope with you dying as Arrayin all over again in addition to losing you as my wife Celeste."
"You must be strong, Arcane. You will need other women in your life over the next several thousand years you are alive!" Arcane frowned. "That's how long I have to live yet?" "It appears so, Arcane. I have a very different perspective from this side. It is not time based at all. Everything on this side is just about Being and not time or space. I can see al our lives not only as humanoids but as all types of manifested beings both physical and spirit."
Arcane felt a little faint. He couldn't deal with any more of this tonight. He said quickly to Celeste, "This is all I can stand for now, Celeste." "It's okay, Arcane. I'll come into your dream tonight and you won't remember my body has passed on. Okay?" Arcane said, "Yes, just as long as I don't have to remember you're gone." "It's a deal, Arcane." With this she drited away.
Arcane shivered and cried by himself that his wife of over 1000 years was gone. He drifted off to sleep in an awkward position on the cabin living room couch. Soon, just as Celeste had promised she showed up in his dream. He was back on the island of Maui, Hawaii. It seemed like both 1986 and everytime they had visited there on anniversaries an the last 1000 years or so. However, this time Celeste had angel wings?" Arcane said, "Why are you wearing angel wings?" Celeste said, "I've earned them, Arcane." Arcane said, "Whatever you say." Arcane found he was lifted by her presence and began to feel elated. He said, "Come walk with me in Haleakala Crater." Celeste said, "Let me fly you there." Because it was a dream Arcane said, "Where did you learn to fly with those?" She said, "It'll be safe. Don't worry." Arcane asked, "Do I grab you or do you grab me?" Celeste said, "Let me hold your waist so we can fly side by side."
When they reached the familiar Ney Neys(a variation of Canadian Geese that don't fly found at Haleakala. It is believed they were blown to Hawaii during a storm thousands of years ago.)Arcane spied the now familiar trail down through the cliffs to the first cabin in the crater. Arcane sighed because of all the amazing memories here. However, something was very strange in this dream. He looked up at the sun above them and it had the face of the Galactic Sentience. He was not sure how he knew that was who it was for he had no memory of ever having even met the Galactic Sentience. The Galactic Sentience as the Sun said, "You both need to visit me, Grandpa." Now this was just so strange that Arcane felt faint even in the dream. Arcane thought at the time that this had to be the single most bizzarre thing he had ever experienced. He looked at Celeste. Both her arms embraced him now as they flew. Because he could feel her love and her presence he no longer felt faint. She held him as they flew. Then she kissed him which caused him to wake up very uncomfortable on the couch of his cabin. Once again the shock of Celeste being dead shocked him to the core.
It was now about 3 am. Arcane got up from his living room couch and walked to the window. It was snowing. It was winter. Celeste was gone. His kids were gone, too. He was alone. It was snowing. He laughed to himself as he remembered Jonathan telling him of his death fantasy. Jonathan had told Arcane that when he got to old and decrepit rather than going into a rest home he would walk some wintery snowy day up on Mt. Shasta all alone and let himself freeze to death. He talked of digging a hole in a glacier with a note pinned to his crest in plastic. It would say. "If you can heal me and regenerate me wake me up!" He laughed out loud to himself again as Jonathan was now at least 1000 years old and still looked between 35 and 45 depending on when he was last regenerated. He laughed again as the irony set in.
As tears formed in Arcane's eyes a part of Arcane longed to do this now rather than to go on living without Celeste. He realized if he wanted to stay alive he needed to visit his parents.
Arcane instantly willed himself to New Deva 900,000 years into the future. It was way before he had taken out Tech Noir so he was allowed to visit during this time under an assumed name. The security on New Deva would know he was Galactic Time Guard by his entry soul signature. Also the Time Guard had given Arcane basic Carte Blanche in almost any time and space because of the Galaxy wide respect he had earned by his actions.
Arcane had visited his parents telling them at first he was a long lost brother to his father who had joined the Time Guard and had been modified to look like an ancient earthling. However, in the most recent visit he had told both parents the truth knowing they could keep a secret. They had found it a very strange secret to keep and had had some difficulty not telling 15 year old Arcane. However, the joy of seeing their adult son who now looked like an ancient earth alien was worth keeping the difficult secret.
As he appeared in his parent's living room he saw himself studying there at about age 15. (He would not tell his young sefl at this age who he really was as it would mess up time.) Arcane introduced himself. He said, "Hi, I'm your uncle. All my friends and family call me 'Future'. Young Arcane said, "Hi, Uncle Future. My parents often talk about you. They say you travel the Galaxy. Even though you've been modified, you sure do look a lot like me. Could you take me with you next time you go off planet?" "I'm afraid not Arcane. I work for the Galactic Time Guard." Young Arcane said, "Wow! I've never met one of those. Can I tell me friends?" Arcane frowned, "I'm afraid not, Arcane. I'm just telling you because you are family and I know I can trust you and your parents to keep a secret." Young Arcane was crestfallen at not being able to tell his friends.
Old Arcane had forgotten just how well endowed psychically he had been at this age. He was barely able to keep young Arcane from guessing the truth. At that moment young Arcane said, "You're not me in the future are you?" Old Arcane said, "Probably not, Arcane." From the way Uncle Future answered this he knew it was a possibility but also realized that even if it were true time and space would suffer if he knew for sure. He let it go.
Old Arcane said, "Where are your parents? It's really important that I speak with them." Young Arcane said, "Oh, They're in the next room. They had started to study some ancient earth language. I think it's called Angleish or English or something like that. They said you speak it fluently, Uncle Future. Is that why you don't look like us?" Old Arcane said, "Yes, I was modified to live there as a planetary anthropologist." Old Arcane realized he had been telepathing with young Arcane all this time rather than speaking out loud. This might have been a mistake. Old Arcane asked Biocom. Biocom replied. "It's not a problem because of the way that young Arcane thinks. He hasn't had enough real life adult experiences to know what to do with all this information and by the time he has had enough experience he will have forgotten 90% of it." Old Arcane was very relieved."Thanks Biocom." he said. "Your welcome, Arcane."
Young Arcane seemed pleased to have rattled so sophisticated a relative. He left his studies in the living room and showed Old Arcane to both of their parents. Young Arcane said out loud, "Hey, Mom and Dad. Guess who's here? It's Uncle Future." Old Arcane almost cried out loud in hearing his young self speak his native language again. Old Arcane felt very sad at not being able to speak his New Devan Language again because his tongue had been shortened by 50% to look and operate like an ancient earthling. This made it impossible to speak his native language properly any more. This was one reason his parents were trying to learn English in order to take the sting out of not being able to converse in Native New Devan.
Arcane thought back upon what it had felt like to have the long tongue of a water breather of his native New Deva. He remembered in Water Scouts how he had learned the ancient water breather technique of unrolling his tongue from the roof of his mouth where it was politely kept when not speaking or hunting for fish. The tip of the tongue was used for bait. The Water Scout was supposed to stay very still barely breathing water and wait for fish to come and try to eat their tongue. If the scout was still enough the fish would come and check out the tongue. A mechanical barb had been installed on the tongue to spear the fish when it got close enough. Then all the scout had to do was to grab the fish and rip out the barb and put the fish in a bag at ones waist. He had been one of the few scouts in his troop that had been successful in obtaining a fish in this old water breather way. It was as difficult as rubbing sticks on land to make fire but he had done both. It had been so hard to be so exceptional at everything. Other scouts had been so jealous of his Shark and Whale patches. A whale water Scout was the highest like the Eagle Scout was back on ancient earth. He had encouraged his children to become eagle scouts back in the 20th century when they were children and then young adults in the 21st. Now they were all gone and he longed for Celeste and his young family. A tear formed in his eye. Arcane stood facing his parents and smiling at their joy to see him.
Arcane's parents were delighted to see him. His Dad embraced him and said, "My God, Future, you still look the same. Even after all these years you still look the same. I still can't get used to you looking like and ancient, ancient earthling." Arcane as Uncle Future smiled and embraced his Mom and Dad. His parents looked worried for a moment and said to young Arcane, "We have important business to discuss. It's something too dangerous for you to know, Arcane." Young Arcane said, "I understand, father." Old Arcane knew at that moment that young Arcane knew for sure more than he wanted him to. However, Biocom was right. He would forget most important things before he could process them with truly adult thoughts.
Arcane's father looked at his future son Uncle Future and said, "What brings you here, son?" Arcane as Future said, "Celeste is gone!" His father said, "What happened?" Arcane cringed. "All our children chose to pass on within 500 to 800 years of their births. When the oldest of our children chose to join the other two it was just too much for Celeste and so she refused regeneration. She's gone!"
Arcane's father looked into his sons eyes and said, "Future. You just have to put things into perspective. You are extremely lucky to have had Celeste in your life for over 1000 years, especially after losing Arrayin so young in your life here on New Deva." Future said, "I know that Dad but death is always difficult. Just like the ancient earth Buddhists said, "Birth, Old age, sickness and death" are very difficult and sometimes confusing.
Arcane's Dad said, "Yes. I've studied those texts. I agree. Those times in anyone's life no matter how long they live can be very difficult." Future Arcane said, "Dad. I just knew I neede to be with the two of you and my young self to stablize so I wouldn't end my life prematurely in grief. His Dad said, "Then coming to see us is very wise indeed. I sense the Galaxy will need you for some time." Future Arcane said, "Yes. Celeste came to me as an angel and told me I have several thousand years of life left." His father looked shocked and said, "Is that a blessing or a curse?" Future Arcane said, "For the Galaxy and Earth that might be good. However, for me it is both." Arcane's father said, "I agree."
Future Arcane said, "I don't need to talk about this anymore. I just need to be with you and pretend everything is okay.If I do this long enough maybe I'll believe it and it will be okay." Arcane's mother said, "Can young Arcane join us. I think he's feeling left out." Future Arcane said, "Yes, Mother. It's time he joined us."
As mother gathered up young Arcane to join them ARcane and his father spoke of Ancient English. Since Arcane could no longer speak his native New Devan language without a severe accent his parents had begun to learn ancient Earth english to soften the psychological blow of Arcane not being able to speak perfect New Devan anymore. Arcane's tongue had been shortened about 50% in length about 1000 years ago to appear to be an ancient earthling in real time in his life. So Future Arcane had to telpath or speak English with his parents. They proudly experimented with their command of English and Future Arcane had to laugh. He said, "It's wonderful that you try to speak earth English as I am now doing but our long native tongues get in the way a little. You both sound as if I were talking while holding the tip of my tonue with my fingers. I can still understand you but you couldn't pass for ancient Earthlings. They all laughed. Just being together was really great and beginning to heal Future Arcane's ancient soul. Future Old Arcane spent several weeks with young Arcane and his parents on New Deva.
New Chapter Celeste Leaves Earth for Good
As Celeste passed away up and out of her body on earth for the last time she saw a bright light. It was an angel she knew. Celeste said, "Mom! What are you doing here?" Celeste's Angel Mom said, "I've come to collect you, Celeste." As they embraced Celeste felt Earth and her children and even her husband drop away completely. She said, "I'm never coming back to earth again am I?" Her mother said, "I wouldn't say never. Never is a long long time. You just won't be reborn there next and you won't visit earth in your next life. Not only that you won't be a woman in your next life. At this point Celeste felt very unsettled and uncomfortable. Her mother took her hand and the two of them travelled through space. Celeste said, "How can I breathe in space?" Her mother said, "You don't have to breathe anymore. You are a spirit now. You no longer have a physical body to protect from death." This made Celeste fee both free and uncomfortable in not having a physical body anymore. Celeste said, "Mom, where are we going? Her Mom gave Celeste a strange look. Mom said, "You have an audience with the Galactic Sentience." Now Celeste thought this was very different. She didn't quite know what to think. At this point she decided her whole experience was becoming completely surreal and unimaginable to her.
Later after this meeting she went back in time and spoke with Arcane after she got her angel wings and after meeting The Galactic Sentience in what appeared to be a heaven like realm in the Center of the Galaxy. Celeste had asked her mother, "Why am I not in an Earth Heaven or a heaven on my birth planet?" Celeste's mother had said, "You will be doing a completely different kind of work for now." For Celeste this was not a complete answer. However, Celeste figured correctly that there was some as yet unknown reason for the ambiguity.
When she promised Arcane that she would visit him in a dream she was simaltaneously experiencing what appeared to her to be the Galactic Sentience. She asked this powerful being. "Who are you? Are you God?" The Galactic Sentience laughed and said, "I'm not the God of Gods if there really is such a thing anywhere but I AM the presiding God like Being for this Galaxy. I guess you could say I'm the Guardian of the Galaxy. Actually, You and Arcane together are the true Creators and builders of this Galaxy and the true spiritual heads of this Galaxy. You and Arcane were and are the father and mother of all the creators in this Galaxy and you are grandparents or great grandparents to all the rest.
Celeste, the Angel was stunned. She thought, "I'm the Mother of the Galaxy? What does this mean. Is it true? Is this just a dream?" A chair appeared and she sat down suddenly. Then she laughed because if she was an angel what did she need of a chair. As she laughed she looked at the Galactic Sentience, He said, "The chair is just psychological. It's a place of comfort you grew used to on earth. So the conception of one is provided for your comfort and stability, Grandma."
She finally collected herself and said, "This bit about me being the mother of the galaxy has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard." The Galactic Sentience said, "Call me Joseph, Celeste." Celeste looked hard at him and said, "why should I call you Joseph?" He said, "It's just a name I used once while on vacation on Earth." Celeste said tentatively, "Okay." Celeste still couldn't make any sense of this." Joseph said, "You're my Grandmother Celeste. I need you to remember this Now!"
Celeste looked down at her heart and was shocked and scared at seeing bright lights shining out of her heart. Joseph smiled. Celeste heard the words streaming out along with the light from his heart. Joseph smiled. Celeste began to recognize the words in a language she somehow understood. The words said in a female but unfamiliar voice, "Grandson, it's good to see you. You are looking well. Joseph said, "Thank God you're back, Grandma, I really need your help." The light grew brighter in her heart. Joseph said, "I need you to go to Eridian and tell him for me that the Galactic Sentience needs to see him now."
Celeste looked surprised. No one had actually asked her to do any work since she passed on and got her wings. She instantly thought of Eridian and she was with him. Eridian said, "Arrayin, Celeste. What is it dear?" Celeste, the Angel said, "As you probably know by now I have passed out of Celeste's body for the last time. What you might not know is that the Galactic Sentience has requested me to come and get you."
When Eridian and Celeste arrived in the Galactic Core Celest became aware of the angels that accompanied Eridian to the Galactic Core from Earth's Heavens. Some of these angels were millions and millions of years old. She could feel it from there demeanor even though none of them looked older than 25.
Joseph greeted them in a bright light human form. Eridian said, "You have summoned me. I have no idea what it is that you want, Your Decisiveness." Joseph said, "Thank you for coming on such short notice. Do you know who your soul is?" Eridian said, "The fullness of that has not been revealed to me for some reason. Obviously, Joseph, you intend to fill in the blanks." Joseph said, "Eridian, you are the senior incarnation of the soul that has recently manifested as Jonathan, in the past Darshan and in the future as ARcane." Eridian answered, "Yes." Joseph went on, "I want you to know now that your group soul is also the father of this Galaxy." Eridian thought a moment and said, "What does that really mean?" Joseph said, "It specifically means that you and your twin who is right now here as Celeste the Angel are twin souls married Billions and billions of years ago if not trillions. I don't really know how long anymore because time is just so relative. You and Celeste created this Galaxy and you and all your descendants have maintained it ever since. You have trillions of children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren living here in this galaxy. A few have even created their own galaxies and dimensions elsewhere and elsewhen." Eridian said, "Trillions?" The Protecting Angels from Earth's Heavens bent down on one knee. They knew they were witnessing important history in the making. Joseph went on,"Most of the souls who take incarnation throughout this galaxy are simply your children, grandchildren,or greatgrandchildren on vacation and the rest tend to be friends and relatives from other dimensions and galaxies." Eridian said, "That's hard to believe." Joseph said, "Look at your heart." Eridian did as he was asked and witnessed something similar to what Celeste had. However, he was not shocked by it as Celeste had been. He simply observed it as a matter of course. Then he said to Joseph. "You're right, Joseph. If it hadn't been you telling me this I never would have believed it. However, what real use is it for me to know this?" Joseph said, "ARcane will ask you what to do when you return to Earth now that Celeste has passed over to the Angelic side of life." Eridian said, "Yes." Joseph said, "I need Arcane and Celeste to both remember and become my Grandparents in earnest."
Eridian said, I can do that." Then Eridian said, "What will happen to me.?" Joseph said, "In order to keep earth and its heavens in order I need you to remain as Eridian. However, I need to awaken the aspect of your soul that is Arcane now that Celeste is an Angel. I need ARcane and Celeste to combine to become enough of my grandparents so they can run the galaxy while I take a vacation. My Grandparents created the galaxy so they know what it will need now. I'm more of a protecting military strategist and diplomat. The galaxy is relatively safe now but it needs the spiritual touch of my grandparents. I can feel the soul of the whole Creator family of this galaxy Calling out for Arcane and Celeste." Eridian looked bemused and said, "Will I remember any of the Grandfather and Grandmothers new experiences?" Joseph said, "Yes, Eridian, for you it will be an amazing awakening to other parts of yourself. Your closests angels will chronicle what is permitted of the experience for posterity in EArth's heavens." Eridian said, "Thank you, Joseph. I'm very grateful to you for filling in some more of the blanks so to speak. It's much different than I had expected." With this farewell Eridian and Earth's protecting Angels left to return to all the many many Earth heavens of all the religions and philosophies as well as the invididual heavens of earth.
Celeste was left alone with Joseph. She asked, "Joseph. What should I do now?" Joseph looked very pleased with himself. He said, "I'm creating a brightness here next to you which contains all the memories of your life as mother and grandmother to all the creators of this galaxy. You see, Grandma, only children creators need a galaxy to feed upon to grow to adulthood. Once a creator is an adult he or she may travel from galaxy to galaxy visiting relatives or friends or just mate and drift in dark matter for trillions of years until they have children. Then if the male wants to protect his new wife and children he creates a galaxy for them to feed on. Otherwise the female must go home to her parents galaxy or die of starvation with her children. It is also possible for a female creator to get her first born sons to begin a galaxy to feed them. Though this is unusual it sometimes happens and they are successful." Celeste asked, "Do pregnant females die often?" Joseph frowned, "Not as often as you might think. It happens most often when children run away from home at an age when they are not mature enough to handle adult responsibilities." Celeste thought a moment and said, "It's a lot like what happens on earth." Joseph said, "Yes and no. The size of a new born creator is the size of you physical sun and an adult creator is bigger than your solar system." Celeste said, "Wow! I guess size matters." As they both watched a fiery light formed from plasma as bright as the sun. Joseph said, "If you were now wearing a human body this plasma stream although quite beautiful would instantly incinerate your body. However, since you are in soul form it is harmless. If you will now put your hands inside the plasma sun stream you will remember all your life as a creator and as a drifter."
Celeste said, "What's a Drifter?" Joseph said, "It's like a teenager." Celeste laughed and said, "Yeah. This reminds me of my children as teenagers on earth. Joseph looked nostalgic and said, "Remember your Grandson, Henry?" Celeste smiled and said, "Oh Yes. He's a real sweety. All the girls loved him so when he was young. I taught him to swim in Fiji on vacation when he was only 4 years old. We used to snorkel together as he got better underwater. Joseph looked into Celeste's eyes. "Henry is me, Grandmother. I was born and lived as Henry simaltaneously while I was being the Galactic Sentience." Celeste said, "That must have been an amazing experience." Joseph said, "You'll never know how amazing and rewarding it was and is to be Henry." Celeste said, "Henry is still alive. Are you still Henry?" Joseph's eyes danced. "Yes! However, it's just not as fun now that you are gone from Earth, Celeste." Celeste looked into Joseph's eyes with new understanding. She said, "We really are family. Aren't we Joseph?" Joseph said, "Eternally, Grandmother."
New Chapter Arcane returns to Earth
Arcane invited Jonathan to his cabin after returning from the two week visit to his parents and his previous young self 900,000 years in the future on New Deva. Jonathan rode up to Arcane's cabin on his rented snowmobile. It was the only way to reach Arcane's cabin this time of year except by helicopter or by cross country skiing several miles uphill. Jonathan prefered skiing downhill. He was in a regenerated young body but in his mind he still was over 1000 years old. He was into efficiency and practicality and regenerative fun But today he was mostly worried about Arcane suriving Celeste's passing.
Jonathan hopped off the snowmobile and hugged Arcane. "Hello old friend." said Jonathan, "How are you?" Arcane looked distant, removed. Arcane said, "I've seen better days, Jonathan." The two of them walked inside the cabin as it was about 35 degrees farenheit outside. Inside it was warm and cozy and a log fire was burning in the fireplace
Later in the conversation Arcane said incisively, "Sometimes, Jonathan, I feel as if I were an actor. It's as if I was the star in a long running TV drama or movie of 1000 years. The problem is that my co-star, my wife just chose to die. She didn't have to die. She just couldn't go on without our kids anymore."
Jonathan looked up at the snow clad mountain out of the cabin window and said, "Let's set my sentient rental snowmobile to automatic and we'll let it tow us both on skis up the mountain." Arcane heard himself saying "Okay, Jonathan." They put on their skiing gear and skis and let themselves be towed up to about 10,000 feet. They told the snowmobile to return to Arcane's cabin. In an emergency it could rescue them but that was a highly unlikely need. They had it's phone number just in case. It was really beautiful. As they were being towed Jonathan could see first hand how sad Arcane was. Jonathan said as they were being towed, "Even though the life that you're now living is one of my past lives and even though in this life we have been friends for over 1000 years, there is a level of understanding that I have trouble reaching. I think this is because we have because I didnt' grow up on your planet 900,000 years into the future in this lifetime. I wasn't exposed in this lifetime to your culture or your languages or your customs or even the way you looked. Nor can I fully comprehend what it would mean to be both a water breather and and air breather. However, what I do know is that if I were raised in one culture on earth and then saved it and then was told to leave my family and never to rturn to that culture I can approximate what you feel. That would be awful.
Now, after living in a new culture and speaking new languages that you did not start with as a child. Then you married on a new planet and your wife has died after 1000 of marriage. I think that would be a very bitter pill to swallow."
"Arcane, whenever one loses someone that close it is always difficult." Arcane said, "Are you saying, Jonathan, that I will always feel this empty hole inside my heart where Celeste once lived." Jonthan said, "Yes, Arcane. That is unfortunately exactly what I'm saying." Arcane said, "Do you know what the last thing she said was?" "No. Tell me." said Jonathan. She said, "You may have too many lives, Arcane, but you can't have too many loves."
Jonathan said, "What did she mean by that, Arcane?" Jonathan really knew but felt it best that Arcane articulated it himself. Arcane said, "I think she meant that I must love again in order to stay alive and that it wouldn't be her this time." Jonathan nodded, "I agree, Arcane. Celeste really was wise wasn't she?" Arcane looked a little stunned as her being gone once again washed over him. He felt a little faint like he was dying. His face went pale. He said to Jonathan, "I talked to her spirit last night. She was in angel form." Jonathan said, "Wow! That's great, Arcane. I forget sometimes just how good you are at that."
Arcane went on, "Sometimes, Jonathan, being good at seeing and communicating with spirits can be more of a curse than a blessing." Jonathan thought a moment and said, "I can agree with that, Arcane. Especially if the spirits tell you things like the projected time and place of death of friends or relatives."
Arcane eyed Jonathan strangely, "You've experienced that, too? I've long been haunted by those kinds of facts. What's really bad is when you want to help the person or person in question live longer and the angel in authority says, "No!" Jonathan said, "Yeah. That's the worst. And then you just have to witness the death or deaths with your hands tied behind your back so to speak." ARcane with moisture in his eyes said, "At least we both know we did all we could." Jonathan said, "There's no blood on our hands then because we know it's God's Will." Arcane said resignedly, "Yep!"
With that Arcane pushed off and skied down off the ridge into glistenin virgin newly fallen powder snow. Jonathan followed on sis knowing that Arcane needed to lead so the pristine experience could begin to heal the loose ends that were now Arcane. Jonathan felt very bad for Arcane, especially because he knew from firsthand experience that the pain might lessen with time but that it would never really ever end.
Jonathan had an idea! When Arcane stopped to rest in a snow covered valley Jonathan quickly skied up and stopped next to him. "Hey, Arcane!" "Yes." said Arcane. "I have an idea." said Jonathan. "Why don't you go back in time and visit her a few times before she passed on?" Arcane looked thoughtful. "Y'know, I might just get permission for that as long as I don't tell her I'm from the future." Jonathan said, "It's just a thought."
New Chapter "God Help me to love myself as much as I do any other"
After skiing back to ARcane's mountain cabin Jonathan said goodbye to Arcane. Jonathan had to get the rental snowmobile back to McCloud and get a ride to his private plane at Mott Airport in Mt. Shasta. From there he would fly himself back to the coast.
Arcane resumed his lonely retreat in his cabin this first year without his Celeste. There were many friends and family that didn't want Arcane to be alone now. But in the end "It's a free country" and no one on earth could tell Arcane what to do.
During Arcane's retreat and meditations and soul travels he came upon the saying "God help me to love myself at least as I do any other." Arcane thought long and hard about this. Arcane had always had an easy time of loving others. Loving himself had always been very hard. He tried to look at this very carefully. Arcane decided he had trouble loving himself because so very much had always been expected of him since the Oracle of New Deva had predicted that he was to be the next world saver while he was only a young child. He had always had a fear of disapointing others. He had always been handsome and tall for his age (at least by New Deva standards) He was 5 foot 11 inches by the time he was 16. By 19 he was almost exactly 6 feet tall. 6 feet was also still a good height in the US and Europe and not so tall that he would stand out too much. As he looked closer at this fear of disapointing others it made sense to Arcane that thinking in this way made him a consummate over achiever. Being an overacheiver did not please him. It only pleased others. Arcane's pleasure had always been in not failing in any of his tasks. Once he had this figured out he was able to start to move forward to please himself. He was wise enough now to know that having lost his wife that if he couldn't love himself enough to take care of himself now that he would die soon either accidentally or directly on purpose.
Arcane had heard of men using women as a drug. Because of his obligations which were in some ways the responsibilities of a Prince or a King he had not allowed this hedonist way of thinking. Everything in his life had always been about duty and responsibility for others. Keeping himself alive even had always been about taking care of others, either family, friends, compatriots, soldiers and then later he was given the responsiblity by the Galactic Time Guard of preventing the extinction of life on earth by any means necessary.
Since Arcane, Celeste and his many descendants had been very wealthy indeed for about 800 years now he ralized he could begin to think more about himself. Arcane thought about what he wanted and needed now. He needed an adventure! If he could combine adventure that would be fun and healing for him and what would be good for other that it would be a winning combination for him. Arcane decided that he should summon Eridian and ask him what to do.
Author's note: I have been a conscious precognitive psychic since about age 3. I have been a conscious soul traveler beginning in my teens in the early 60's and fully in control of my travels by the early 70's when I was in my 20's. When I wrote the next section late Feb. and early March 2003 I was confused and upset by this next section on the next section on the Galactic Sentience and Arcane and Celeste and Eridian when I wrote it. This very likely could mean it's all true. My soul travels within this galaxy are all very clear or relatively clear in my mind. However, soul journeys to other Galaxies and dimensions are less clear because in other galaxies time and space are never the same as in this galaxy if they exist at all. At the very least time and space in other galaxies are not in a form I can usually meaningfully relate to or am familiar with. So very little of the memories of these experiences seem to be available to me. However, it is my belief that some day in the next 10 years I will be allowed to begin to better understand more and begin to write of some of these extragalactic experiences for you.
From my point of view at least the purpose of all of this is to create a roadmap so to speak for others to follow if they wish of the life, stars, and planets and beings within ou galaxy and eventually of outside of our galaxy for those on earth who will follow in my explorations of the last 30 or 40 years. If you consciously soul travel you will have had and will have different experiences than I have had or will have. That is to be expected. However, you and I follow a long lineage of the thousands and maybe now even millions of those who have consciously traveled the galaxy since humans first existed on earth.
Most who still soul travel are now called by us on earth: priests, ministers, shamans, psychics, therapists, healers and some doctors. I myself have sought out these soul travelers in this life who are presently Priests,ministers, therapists, Tibetan Lamas, Native American Medicine Men, Christian mystics, and various healers and doctors. The only real difference between most of them and me is that I feel a personal obligation in my personal covenant with God to write about my experiences for posterity whether that turns out to be the present, the future or through the I believe ever present time travel, the past. I also write for beings for other cultures off of earth within this Galaxy to promote brotherhood and sisterhood and beinghood throughout this galaxy and for friendly beings from all Galaxies. I don't consider myself to be the best writer. I only know for sure that what I write about is priceless and precious and timely and will help prevent the extinction of all life on earth, especially humans.
New Section
> The Galactic Sentience and ARcane
To continue: Arcane decided to ask Eridian what to do next. Eridian faded into the cabin living room like a spirit. For some reason he never fully took physical form. Eridian said perfunctorily. "You must go to visit the Galacti Sentience." Eridian then faded out.
Arcane was amazed. He couldn't figure out why he should go see the Galactic Sentience. For once he was more than a little scared. Only the extremely ignorant or the truly foolish would not be at least a little scared if they had to meet the immortal ruler of the whole galaxy. Arcane knew that even his surviving such a meeting was debatable. Everything he had seen or read on meetings with the Galactic Sentience mentioned a death of the person and a rebirth. One's memories of the events previous to ones meetings with the Galactic Sentience didn't change just everything about how one perceived everything in ones life during and after the meeting. Obviously, meeting the Galactic Sentience caused one to be reborn in consciousness and perception. Some physical beings could not withstand the meeting and simply physically died in the change.
Arcane knew he wouldn't physically die. He had a sense about things like this. However, he also knew he would never be the same again. It was as if the Galaxy had waited for his children and wife to pass on before they changed him into some other type of person or being. Arcane sent one thought to Eridian. He telepathed, "How should I go there?" Eridian said, "See yourself there now! All will be impressed with you at this accomplisment. They will know you are ready for your next step in evolution." Arcane said, "Evolution?" Eridian simply replied, "Be ready for anything like when you first met me out of the blue." Arcane said, "I understand, my friend.
Arcane now realized that to prepare too much for this would create more problems than solutions. So, like jumping off a cliff when it was time, Arcane simply visualized the Galactic Sentience in the Core of the Galaxy and he was there.
All of a sudden Arcane was with what appeared to be an electrical plasma storm which was much bigger than the whole Solar System. Arcane was amazed and shocked by this experience. The huge Electrical plasma storm seemed to be feeding on the energy and mass from the whirpool leading into a black hole. Arcane noticed his physical body was surrounded by the familiar green sentient see through sphere from future earth. Eridian was obviously helping him. Arcane heard laughter in his mind and then his mind was gone. It was very much like being in a dream. In Arcane's 'dream' the Galactic Sentience was communicating with him. He was aware of the immortal intelligence of this God-like being. There was also the 'glee' of this being in meeting with Arcane. The being said, "I have been waiting some time for you, Grandfather, to speak with you again." Arcane said, "Who is Grandfather?" The Galactic Sentience said, "Why you are, Arcane. You've just chosen to forget who you are for awhile. I think you told me that you would take a 2 billion year vacation from yourself while you regenerated your consciousness into something more useful and interesting to you." Arcane decided that this was all nuts. Arcane said to the Galactic Sentience. "Am I nuts or dreaming or what?" The Galactic Sentience just laughed and said, "I think the 'or what' would be the appropriate response."
Arcane's body was starting to tremble as he looked down at his heart. Some call this area of the body the 'Buddha Mind'. He was really scared now. There was no doubt about that. He was watching lights and sounds coming out of his heart in a voice he had never heard before. The lights and the voice said in speaking to the Galactic Sentience, "Grandson, you've done well as the Galactic Sentience of this Galaxy. I made an excellent choice in choosing you as my successor." There was laughter in the form of energy dancing around him and the energy storm and what had ever been real to Arcane was lost forever. When Arcane awoke from this he was aware that a great deal of time had passed. He was sitting alone cross legged floating in the green sphere. He remembered everything now. But he was definitely no longer Arcane, at least not the Arcane he remembered. He could still use the name Arcane but ARcane was entirely different now.
His recent experiences reminded him of an experience in a vision he had had once. In this vision he was in a dimension with no planets anywhere. He had had no physical body in this vision and was just a point of consciousness floating in an eternal sunset of orange, purple, pink and blue. There was no weight or stress and only peace there. The word "heaven" came to mind. Sometimes he had experienced this when he was just drifting off to sleep or just slowly waking up. In this eternal sunset with no up or down or planet or humans he could see in all directions. There was no earth or land or bodies or water anywhere. There was just the thousands of other souls nearby. There was no loneliness only peace and comfort and happiness. It was heaven.
Arcane felt like he had been to heaven and now he was someone else in the same body. It was like reincarnating as someone else in the same body with the old memories and now new ones too. The new Arcane was completely amazed. He was beginning to reintegrate. He became aware of the Galactic Sentience and woke up suddenly.
The Galactic Sentience smiled. He appeared in human form to Arcane. Arcane could see himself as an older man like a grandfather. The Galactic Sentience now appeared to him as a much younger man of about 35 years of age. The Galactic Sentience said once more to Arcane, "Hi Grandpa. I'm your grandson, Joseph." At first the new Arcane laughed and shockingly Joseph laughed along with him. It seemed as if they laughed for days about millions of things telepathically, wordlessly, amazingly. At the end of these seeming 'days' of laughing together Arcane finally got it. He got it all. A very mischievous look came over Joseph. He said, "There is just one more secret for you to remember. Celeste, Arrayin is the other half of your soul and perfectly reintegrated into you now. She's your twin or as some humans call it your split apart. We could only do what is happening now to you because you and she are one being here 'in the flesh' so to speak. You two get to be one in you natural state. I get to speak with my grandfather for a time and you, Arcane and Celeste as one get to experience who and what you really are---The Galactic Sentience who pass the Crown of Light to me--- so to speak."
Arcane? thought about all this. He finally said, "Yes. Celeste and I are one." Arcane thought. "I was the previous Galactic Sentience and Celeste and I created this Galaxy and I remember it all now." He looked out into the eyes of his grandson and said, "This might seem like a small thing but after all I am still a Time Guard Ambassador to Earth." Interjecting and smiling Joseph said, " And you are also a Time Guard Ambassador visiting me by the way." Arcane laughed and then Joseph joined him in the stupendous power of this last thought. For Arcane realized he had not even asked permission of the Time Guard to visit the Galactic Sentience. Joseph, had obviously dealt with this problem already and had made it disapear.
Arcane said, "Joseph, it becomes more clear to me exactly why my incarnations as Jonathan, His Oneness, King Interlaken, Eridian, Darshan etc. are all so well protected each in their own ways. I am literally one of the elder retired statesmen of the Galaxy." Joseph's eyes rolled up in his head. He was so relieved his grandfather was back. He said, "Exactly. This is why everything you do is so closely monitored by so many galactic beings. All wise beings know that you never do anything by accident. And if you are somewhere doing something in whatever form you are in it is always strategic to the whole galaxy. So millions of non-creators watch you as well as the trillions of creators who effortlessly monitor your every thought and move in physical and non physical universes.
Arcane got more serious. "All that is very well and good but why have you summoned me here in fullness at this time?" Joseph looked very sad and serious. "I need to consult with you on certain problems facing the galaxy and the future of the creators."
Arcane looked inside himself and then looked to Joseph and asked, "Am I well integrated enough at present for my comments to be of use to you?" Joseph said, "Actually, as far as objectivity goes you are perfect. I just have to be very careful how I state my problems to you and be sure I make my case as objective and as unemotional as possible." Arcane Celeste said, "It's the boredom factor of the immortal creators isn't it." Joseph looked sad, "Yes." Joseph went on, "We are losing at least one creator to entropy every earth day." Arcane was shocked. "That fast?" "I'm afraid so." Joseph went on,"However, I want to ask your opinion of whether we can afford to let a higher percentage of creators temporarily forget who they are so they can recreate as humans and other types of beings."
Arcane Celeste immediately had the answer. They said as one, "Joseph, if you allow them in 1,000,000 year shifts up to 33% could temporariliy forget who they are in order to recreate themselves at a time. Not only that retroactively doing this to the creators lost to entropy would automatically regenerate them." Joseph looked like a million pound weight had been taken of his shoulders. Joseph said, "Thank God!" Joseph looked like he was going to cry in relief. He said, "This is totally outside my career specialities of diplomatic and military logistics, Grandfather. After all, you always were the sociologist, planetary anthropologist and spiritual leader of this galaxy. Grandfather, I can do this but it's not my favorite thing like it is yours."
Arcane Celeste looked deeply into Joseph's eyes. They said as one, "You are the best at what you do, Joseph. There is a time for everything. You have won all the battles that the Galaxy needed you to and now our people are getting bored. You just need to send them off in new directions of creative endeavor until another Galactic crisis emerges. Then you can train others to quickly wake them up out of forgetfulness for the next battle for the survival of the Galaxy." Joseph said, "You and me Grandpa could rule the whole universe." Arcane Celeste said, "Look at the history of the universe, Joseph. Any creator that has tried to rule even three galaxies has failed miserably and sometimes up to 3 galaxies and the immortality of trillions of creators were permanently lost to the void."
"Is that so bad, Grandfather?" Arcane looked at Joseph and said, "You need a vacation, Joseph!" Joseph said, "I agree." Joseph went on, "I was thinking Grandpa, maybe I could split and go back as Arcane and into Celeste's next incarnation and just forget about ruling a Galaxy for a time so I could get a better perspective on it all." Arcane Celeste looked at Joseph incredulously and said, "If you don' think that would be too incestuous I think that could be arranged for a time. I would still be present like a guardian angel, Joseph,just so you didn't change the work ARcane and Celeste do, okay?" Joseph said, "Thank God you're back, Grandpa. I've done an excellent job for almost 1 billion years now but now I'm just getting tired of it all." Arcane Celeste then said, "Hoave you contacted the council of Creators?" Joseph Said,"Yes, Grandfather." Arcane Celeste said, "What did they say?" Joseph said, "They said I needed a vacation but they didn't want me gone for very long." Arcane Celeste said, "Just take the time you need to heal your soul and recreate yourself." Joseph said, "Okay Grandpa. Also you could implement the training of special creators to help the creators on vacation to forget who they are for a time and for bringing them back to full memory and consciousness as creators in the future." Arcane Celeste looked at Joseph. He was care worn. Arcane Celeste said, "I'd like you to test drive ARcane's life right now." ARcane Celeste put his her thumb on Joseph's forehead and watched as Joseph changed into the appearance and memory of Arcane and "whoosh" he was gone.
New Chapter Joseph Takes a Vacation
Joseph was grateful to finally take a vacation from being the full time Galactic Sentience for so long. However, now that he was installed in ARcane's body he was having second thoughts. He thought despite his second thoughts he would at least try a few days. Joseph still remembered who he was and who he had always been. Joseph was ARcane just like someone you know who is asleep overnight might lucidly control their dream in becoming one kind of being or another as they desired.
As Joseph visited not only Arcane's body but also his cabin on Mt. Shasta he also had to deal with Celeste being passed on. However, since Joseph ARcane was also simaltaneously aware of himself as Joseph he could easily reconcile ideas like Grandpa Arcane and Grandma Celeste are presently together running the Galaxy. Therefore, any feelings that ARcane might be having about missing Celeste are irrelevant because they are actually together and happy at the moment.
However, when he actually started reconciling all this it started to become such a complete joke to him that he started laughing and couldn't stop. Joseph ARcane realized quickly that this was not very healthy psychologically. So Joseph ARcane decided to go outside and go skiing. So he put on ARcane's skiing gear and then went outside and put ARcane's skis on. However, at this precise moment Joseph ARcane realized he could will himself up to 11,000 feet effortlessly.
Now this would have been just perfect except for one thing. There happened to be a satellite that was tracking him since he was a known UN official and it created quite a stir at the US Pentagon. At this point Arcane's biocom said, "Arcane, you've just created a time anomaly that has to be corrected." Joseph Arcane said, "Biocom. Do you know who I am?" Biocom seemed perturbed a little. He said, "YOu should be ARcane. But I can now ascertain that you are a different spirit. Who are you?" Joseph Arcane said, "I need to speak with ARcane's superior at the galactic Core. Tell him this is a level one change." Biocom said, "I'm relieved that at least this will get resolved now." Time General Blue came on and said,"What is the level one emergency, Arcane?" Joseph Arcane said, "I'm Joseph, the Galactic Sentience on vacation as Arcane." General Blue said, "What are you talking about?" Biocom said, "If I may General?" "Go ahead, Biocom Arcane." Biocom went on. "I and the sentient robots of the Galactic Core have ascertained that Joseph ARcane is telling the truth."
General Blue said, "What?" You mean this is really the Galactic Sentience, Biocom?" Biocom said, "Yes, General. I'm afraid so." General Blue said, "Your Decisiveness? If I may be so bold, who's running the galaxy?" Joseph Arcane said, "I'm taking a break but I'm on call. We creators have a chain of command." General Blue said, "Then Arcane, our agent is a creator?" Joseph ARane knew he had to be careful how he answered this. "Arcane didn't know we was a creator until today." General Blue said, "When will he come back to his body?" Joseph Arcane said, "Pretty soon because I"m feeling claustrophobic in human form.
General Blue laughed. He said, "Being a young creator myself I can only imagine how difficult this is for you." Joseph Arcane said, "You're Blue Star aren't you?" General Blue said, "Biocom Arcane, you're right this is Joseph, the Galactic Sentience on Break. I'll take care of any anomaly created there on earth. Biocom Said, "Thank you, General."
Instantly ten minutes back in time the satellite malfunctioned so it didn't see Joseph Arane disappear on skis outside his cabin at 5000 feet and reappear on skis at 11,000 feet.
However, Joseph Arcane was now terribly embarrassed because after all he was the Galactic Sentience and more was always expected of him. He had just majorly screwe up time as Arcane. He decided to try one more thing before he went back to Grandpa Arcane and Grandma Celeste to try something else to recreate himself on the relatively short break he was taking.
Joseph Arcane at this point decided to meet his ongoing alter incarnation that had no memory of his being the Galactic Sentience. He would go meet his other incarnation as Henry, who is ARcane and Celeste's grandson living on Maui, Hawaii. Henry is now living around the year 3000 ad near Lahaina on Maui on an estate that he had inherited from Grandma Celeste. After all, he was her favorite grandchild. By now Henry was well over 400 years old and had married 7 or 8 times because each of his wives had passed on. He found it difficult but not impossible to keep passing on this estate to himself, as he changed identities and regenerated himself. He had many many children and grandchildren and even great great grandchildren the by now seemed to visit him about every other week from all over the world. Having a rich relative with an estate on Maui is always a treat.
However, today Joseph Arcane picked up the phone and said, "Hi Henry. It's Arcane." Henry was amazed. He hadn't had a direct call from Arcane in years even though he saw him at least twice a year at family reunions. Henry said, "Arcane. It's so good to talk to you."
Note: Henry doesn't know he is the Galactic Sentience, only Joseph knows it. The part of Joseph inhabiting Henry has forgotten he is part of the God like being that runs the galaxy.
Joseph Arcane said, "Henry. Care if I come for a visit?" Henry said, "Arcane! You know you don't even have to ask." Arcane said, "Clear the living room I'll be right there." Instantly, Joseph Arcane was in Henry's living room. Henry said, "Wow! Grandpa Arcane. I didn't know it was safe to do that sort of thing on earth anymore?" Joseph said, "It's not safe. I just did it because I was bored." Henry was concerned. "This isn't like you, Grandpa. It must be because Grandma Celeste is gone." Joseph Arcane said, "It's true I'm having some problems." Henry said, "What can I do to help, Grandpa?" Arcane looked at Henry and simply said, "Walk with me on the beach, Henry." Henry naively said, "Sure, Grandpa."
As they walked on the beach Joseph Arcane poured his heart out to Henry. After listening to Joseph Arcane Henry said, "You sould like you might be having a nervous breakdown, Grandpa." Joseph Arcane said, "I've got to go to the Galactic Core on emergency business." Henry said, "I hope everything turns out okay, Grandpa.
As Joseph Arcane disappeared Henry wondered what was going to happen to Grandpa now that Grandma Celeste was gone. For that matter what was going to happen to Himself. What was going to happen to Henry? No one's presence seemed to satisfy Henry for long like just being around Grandma Celeste did. Henry wished his Dad, George, Arcane's oldest son had chosen to stay alive. But his Dad, George, had always been so serious, like Arcane. Henry on the other hand had always been a bit of a playboy adventurer and world traveler. Even settling down on Maui seemed pretty tame compared to the life he used to live climbing mountains and exploring the ocean floor of the world's oceans as well as his escapades on many planets of the solar system and beyond. For Henry was now a retired world famous mountain climber, deep sea marine biologist, and planetary and asteroid explorer. However, he had to have each of these identities be separate for obvious reasons. Each identity had lasted 50 to 100 years each. Henry seriously hoped Grandpa ARcane would be okay. Henry knew ARcane needed his parents or his son but both were gone at least as far as Henry knew.
New Chapter Joseph gives up being Arcane
To Arcane and Celeste it seemed like about 5 minutes after Joseph left to try out being Arcane he was back. Joseph said, "It's just too confining to work for me. I can't be Arcane now." said Joseph.
Arcane Celeste said, "Yes. We agree. You are too stressed to appreciate the full beauty of actually being Arcane." Arcane Celeste pondered a moment and then said, "I'm going to send you back to what we creators were before we created the matter and antimatter galaxy we now live in and on.
Joseph said, "I've heard you talk about htis a lot but it is true I've never personally experienced what it was like before our creator family created this galaxy." Arcane Celeste smiled. This was going to be good and ARcane Celeste said, "Are you willing to temporarily give up all your memories and become a pregalactic. Joseph smiled and got sort of dreamy eyed and said, "Yes. You're right! This is what I need to do to really understand who we are and what we really came from." Arcane Celeste said, "Done." Arcane Celeste put their right thumb on Joseph's forehead and he just faded out of existence. The galactic creator's council was privy to all actions that transpired. ARcane and Celeste communicated. Celeste said, "Arcane, is he going to experience you and I as teenager Creators." Arcane smiled and said to Celeste, "Yes. However, he will put his own twist on things. I personally think it's just the thing to heal his soul. It will be a sort of Creator Outward Bound experience.
New Chapter The PreGalactic Creators
Drifting- Drifting- Drifting- Drifting- The new Joseph said to his long time girlfriend. "How long have we been drifting? His girlfriend, Dawn said, "What do you mean, How Long?" "Now why had he asked that?" she thought to herself. Then Dawn communicated again. "Joseph?" "Yes?" He said. Dawn tried again. "Joseph. See that group of Galaxies over here." Joseph said, "Yes." "Well. We've been drifting since they were over there." Joseph pondered this. A part of him said, "That would have been trillions of years." Now how had he known that? He and Dawn had been drifting blissfuly happy and alone for trillions of years in their so called Dark Matter love nest. After all, what was time to the Drifters as they called themselves. They knew some of their distant relatives as well as their parents had created Galaxies and had gotten all busy with themselves but after all he and Dawn were just teen age lovers. They weren't even married yet. Creating Galaxies and running them was very serious business. If you created a galaxy then you had to run it and then protect it from all comers. What a complete pain in the butt that was. Adult Drifters called themselves Creators. What a bunch of Hooey. You'd think they all thought they were all better than us drifters. After all, what was better than just drifting? Who needs the commitment of making and maintaining a galaxy and having trillions of kids who depend on you. What a bunch of crap that was!
"Oh Joseph! By the way I'm pregnant. You need to create a Galaxy for our kids to grow up in." Joseph was struck dumb. The terrible moment had arrived. He either had to ditch her and the kids which could cause her and the kids to die of starvation or he had to agitate time and space to create a moving flux between matter and antimatter for her and eventually the kids to feed on. His parents had always told him this day would come. They kept telling him about this until he and Dawn had eloped off into the void somewhere into their Dark Matter drifting paradise of love.
Joseph already was feeling agitated. He didn't know whether he was happy or angry. Maybe a little of both. He sensed his children reaching out of Dawn's womb for help, for their survival. He started to jump and vibrate in a way he'd never had as a child or teenager. Dawn said, "Oh, Joseph. You are so amazing." He really got into the act now. The dark matter started to spark in anger and fury as oscillations between matter and antimatter began. The sparks stung his sides. Joseph screamed in pain at first but then he remembered what his father had told him. Dad had said, "Oscillate but then watch so you can avoid the sparks because they can be deadly." So Joseph oscillated and then rested a moment so he could avoid the worst sparks. Later he realized that the sparks didn't hurt Dawn. So Joseph taught Dawn to eat the sparks that rose from the oscillations. She grew bigger and more ominous each time she did this until she was bigger than him. He got a little scared. Then he remembered how his father had said male Drifters when turned into Creator men couldn't eat sparks. They could only eat the smaller even streams of plasma. So Joseph created a small plasma stream and then fed on it. It tasted good like liquid light. He father always had said these streams were magic and were the essence of adult creator life. For some reasons his oscillations took less energy than the energy plasma that resulted. He immediately saw that this was because of the pendulum effect between matter and then antimatter then matter then antimatter before it moved toward subsiding a long time later. So Joseph found by experimenting that he sould swing the doorway once and then feed at least four times along with Dawn and the kids feeding and then if he repeated it before the fourth swing many times in succession he could supercharge the whole arena up into an entirely different space time matter antimatter continuum. As the kids grew the boys started to emulate Dad and took turns "supercharging" and "superchugging" the matter antimatter continuum. Joseph started to notice that dust on the matter side was starting to coalesce into Stars and Nebulae. Dawn said, "Oh, look at all the pretty colors, Joseph. Do that again. Ohhh!" So the boys and Joseph started to become artists to impress Dawn and all the girls. By this time there were about 1/2 million children. Joseph and Dawn were now seen as the Patriarch and Matriarch of this galaxy and of course, Mom and Dad. Sometimes, Mom and Dad and about half of the kids at a time would go out to the edge of their home light show so they could all see their relatives light shows in other galaxies. Sometimes relatives from other Galaxies light shows would come to visit and meet the half million kids and their parents. Millions and millions of real time years had passed now and the kids were growing up.
As Joseph was resting one eon with Dawn he heard a voice. It was his Grandfather ARcane. It was ARcane Celeste. "Joseph, Please come speak with me." Joseph knew he was dreaming. In his dream he met Grandpa and Grandma Arcane Celeste. Arcane Celeste said, "Joseph, how do you like family life?" Joseph said, "I like it Grandpa. Can I stay here?" "Just a little longer, Joseph." said Arcane Celeste.

Written April 7th 2004
When the Creators Arcane Celeste returned to the Galactic Core and remembered they were the creators of the Milky Way Galaxy they realized that Joseph had been the Galactic Sentience that they had installed in their place temporarily. (a billion years or so)By this time Joseph had been on the job this one billion years while Arcane and Celeste had chosen to temporarily forget that they were the creators of the galaxy in order to recreate themselves. All Creators can potentially do this because they don't live in time and space at least as we know it. In fact, to their basic time sense the galaxy only exists an instant and looks a lot to them like a large fireworks going off in the air would to us. However, they also have the ability to "bend" time by oscillating between matter and antimatter universes at specific frequencies that cause them to run time at any speed and to literally go to any time and at any size past, present or future that they wish. This is an art like learning to ride a boogy board or surf board in the ocean is for us and their point of view actually doing this is quite similar to the experience of surfing for a human on earth.
I'll recount the Joseph story from the top of my head. Once Joseph decided to forget who he was for a period of recreation of his consciousness he was put into Arcane and Celeste's memories of creating the Galaxy since he is one of their many grandsons who they had chosen to be the Galactic Sentience. Joseph was chosen to be in charge while Arcane and Celeste were manifesting as various kinds of physical and other types of beings over that same period of approximately 1 billion years at least as humans know time.
In this consciously created dream, Joseph becomes a Drifter and Celeste becomes Dawn for this memory recreation. So Joseph and Dawn begin to remember their childhood in the two different Galaxies they were raised in while visiting Joseph's home in the Orion Nebula. When they first got together there was opposition to their relationship within both his family and hers. So they decided to avoid all these family issues by leaving all galaxies since most nearby galaxies were created by relatives. Joseph and Dawn just began to drift out into dark matter away from all galaxies and away from both their families. There is a tradition of doing this form of self exile which sometimes turns into beginning both a family and a galaxy to feed the family. Joseph and Dawn drifted like this for an unimaginable period of time for a human. Since Joseph and Dawn had not become Creators yet they were still Drifters which is a stage of development comparable to unmarried teenagers. To become a full creator one must marry and begin to have children. That is how one becomes a full fledged Creator. The Creators of a galaxy have a special revered status for Creators, however as very few that go away from their home galaxies and into dark matter survive to create Galaxies. Many die of lonelines or isolation from other creators and drifters. Also a Creator in Drifter stage is not really a matter-antimatter being yet. When he or she leaves the galaxy and all contact with other creators or drifters he or she could be refered to as a Dark matter being without form at least as humans know it.
Since I cannot scientifically describe what Dark Matter really is I will simply say that it exists and that one of the pre-creators' stages of development over billions and billions of years is as a dark matter being.
Here I must point out that not all creators choose to create galaxies, most just live within their extended families within galaxies and sometimes create nebulae within those galaxies. Only the most independant leave the galaxy with a girlfriend or alone. Only those with a girlfriend who becomes pregnant even try to create a galaxy for their children to feed on and prosper. Many who go this path fail or die or both so it is not a path for the faint of heart. Joseph and Dawn in this dream recreation are able to survive and live somehow in Dark matter and didn't have to live in galaxies to survive. They didn't need air, nor water, or food at least as we know it. They were able to live marginally somehow drifting and consuming dark matter to maintain life in their pre-creator bodies. They had not yet been forced by a pregnancy to become matter-antimatter beings in order to feed matter energy and antimatte energy to their offspring so they could grow and survive for multi billions of years.
It is my personal belief that the chance of success of such a couple venturing out was and is about the chance of the first settlers in the western United States having to brave weather, the elements, starvation, hostile indians, illness, childbirth without a doctor or even a sanitary environment etc.
When a pre-creator or Drifter which is sort of a teen-age couple decides to be a parent or accidentally becomes a parent the male must care for the female and the children or she will die in childbirth if she cannot be rescued by her family or friends in her home galaxy.
In order to feed his pregnant girlfriend or wife, the male drifter begins to oscillate dark matter between matter and antimatter.
Note:In order to more fully comprehend this process, I am illustrating a type of metamorphosis similar to what a person experiences when they go to sleep and then dream such a prophetic dream that it completely changes their life when they wake up.
Another metaphor is the dragonfly who before he unfurls his or her wings lives underwater crawling usually along under the water in a lake or stream. Then he or she crawls up onto a hopefully dry rock, floating log or dry ground and cracks open his or her shell and unfurls his or her wet wings and lets them dry and then flies away into the sky. Such is the metamorphosis that teenage parent pre-creators go through to survive and become Co-Creators of a galaxy.
These are my real experiences as a mystic, adept and as a precognitive psychic. I see what I am writing much the same as all the shamans and priests, seers and prophets all around the world who can really SEE and who tell creation stories. It is in the same tradition as the tribal shamans who told the creation stories.
It is my hope that you too will write your own creation stories or histories that empower you and your children in your lives and on into the future as well. end note
Dawn is a part being played in this recreating dream of Joseph that is being lived in a living dream by both Joseph and Celeste. Arcane returns to being The Galactic Sentience for a time while Dawn occupies Joseph in this pursuit of the healing of Joseph or better said the Recreation of Joseph. This healing and recreating dream Joseph is now having totaly empowers Joseph in totally new directions. In his physical life when Joseph awakes from his recreating dream he may choose to find an eligible female Creator to mary and have children and therby evolve beyond his role as a monastic or solitary military strategist that has kept the Milky Way safe and secure for over 1 billion years. When Joseph returns from his dream it is likely optional whether he returns to being the Galactic Sentience or whether Arcane will return to his original place or whether some other Galactic Sentience will be chosen. There are always 10 to 20 Creators in training at all times to ensure that there is always a trained Galactic Sentience available to serve in that role. This is to ensure that there will never be a gap in Galactic leadership among the Creators of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Joseph was on of Arcane and Celeste the Creators' exceptional grandchildren. Joseph was then trained by Arcane and Celeste the Creators to run the galaxy in their perceptual absense. Joseph's father was the son of Arcane and Celeste and Joseph's mother was from another nearby galaxy. Joseph's father was inspired by his fathre Arcane Creator and so Joseph's father began creating a nebulae. He created the Orion Nebulae as a personal lifework. Joseph's mother whose name is Cassiopeia and his father created the Orion Nebbulae together. Then when Joseph was born he helped maintain the Orion Nebule. Since a nebulae is in many ways a micro galaxy, Joseph was asked to become the next Galactic Sentience by Arcane Creator and Celeste Creator.
This is why when I as a 21 or 22 year old asked to meet god I met Joseph who appeared to me as the God who had created me while I found myself soul travelling in the Orion Nebulae. All the creators are literally Gods but they function more like the Gods of the Greek Pantheon. There are basic laws of the universe within which all creators function. So they are very much to the physical universe what humans are to earth. The oldest creators tend to be the leaders for they are the ones who have survived the longest and hopefully have become the most wise in the process.
So this takes me back to what is God and what is life? "I think therefore I am." Then I could say. "What am I?" "What is me?" I would then say I am a part of the active consciousness of the Creator of this Galaxy who is recreating himself and herself through thousands and possibly millions of incarnations throughout the galaxy simaltaneously. Because I am a part of the Creators of this galaxy I am Galactic Royalty. And what might that make you? My answer would be look within yourself and around you for the truth. Seek and you shall find!
And so when Joseph came to me in the Orion Nebulae when I was 21 or 22 he told me that he was the God that created me. I believed him as he was not human but pure energy. I knew powerfully in my soul what he told me was true. However, in reality I, as a part of the Creators of this galaxy was actually put to sleep by my grandson the appointed Galactic Sentience and put into thousands to millions of incarnations as humans and other types of beings in order to recreate my awareness for ongoing immortality as a Creator. For Creators are not bound by the laws of time as space as temporary mortal humans are. To know you are the creator manifested in human form gives me the strength to go on and to be compassionate and helpful to all sentient beings.
Another way to say it would be to say that when Joseph came to me he was the God that created me in that he oversaw a part of my consciousnes which pretended to be a human on earth. Arcane, Co-creator of this Galaxy who became Fred, a child on earth but still built in the image of the Creator. In this sense I am created in the image of the God that I am. I was built to temporarily not remember who I really was until it was useful both to Fred and to the Galaxy, to Arcane Co-Creator and to Joseph the present Galactic Sentience.
Joseph was representative of the God that created me. And so my grandson came to me and told me who I was and empowered me to go on living as a human and a godman upon earth and to be kind and helpful to all beings as both Jesus and Buddha taught. And so Joseph even though my grandson was acting as a surrogate parent or uncle in telling me the rules of behavior to go on living as a god in human form on earth. He gave me excellent rules of advice in order to behave properly as a God in human form on Earth. Because what IAM is much more than a human and this encompasses infinite states of awareness. And so if we are all aware of it then we we are all Living Buddhas or Christs if you Will!
Notes on my life as A Ray In by Celeste Weaver
Since it is now November 2005 and I will be alive for another thousand years it is time in my heart to speak to you about A Ray In who was a previous incarnation of myself.
First of all I must tell you that A Ray In was not the mother of His Oneness. I would like to take credit for that but it is mostly Jonathan's doing because of his own issues. Elohar was the real mother of His Oneness. This was an issue for Jonathan because Elohar is the next incarnation of his mother. It is quite understandable that he would feel this way because reincarnation does push a lot of people's buttons when these kind of issues arise.
Second, though it is not a nice subject I caused the fall of Tech Noir and his government on Isfahel. The Oracle of New Deva told me as a young woman that I would have to die horribly to save my planet and people New Deva from extinction. The Oracle told me to go to Tech Noir and to seduce him. Since I was both a Saint and a virgin at the time I could thereby capture his essence and leave him powerless. Though I knew I would die in this process and leave my beloved Arcane alone I gladly gave up my life for my people. For this I became an even more powerful Saint in Death to my people and along with Arcane we became the two Lost Hero Saints most beloved by my people of New Deva.
However, you must realize reading this that I died for real and Arcane was like a walking robot for some time in living on like a ghost without me or his planet or his people. Only by throwing himself physically and spiritually into his work as a member of the Galactic Time Guard and the civilizations of Earth could he stay alive at all. His first wish was to die with me.
I convinced him from coaching him after my death to go on. First, I demanded him to give the Coup De Grace (Death Blow) to Tech Noir and then to leave New Deva never to return in any time after the 6 months of celibrating the demise of Tech Noir and the saving of our planet New Deva.
It could be said that my sacrifice and Arcane's sacrifice saved our civilization. I could also be said that both Arcane and I paid a terrible price for the saving of our planet and civilization.
Arcane and A Ray In Meet as young people
Yes. I remember it well. Remember. I was Fire Crystal just before becoming A Ray In. I took Arcane when he was the boy, Darshan, to Heaven with me. I stayed there with him. Then I left and had him eventually follow me to New Deva. So when Arcane was 11 I was 15.
I met him at the Temple of the Dragons of Compassion. I had been eagerly waiting for him to arrive. After the Teacher Oracle of our Order took over Arcane's body he was still in shock and walked out. Since I was a very gifted Seer I observed all that took place at a distance. As he walked out of the body takeover (which by the way many do not survive!) I was waiting for him. His face paled from the experience he had just had and his consciousness was still in shock.
I walked up to Arcane in the radiantly beautiful form I wore at 15 and enveloped him in my consciousness. He looked at me as if he was in a dream. I called out to him, "Darshan! Do you remember me?" Arcane almost fainted but in his courageous way he stood his ground. He said, "Fire Crystal! Where have you been? I have been looking for you my whole life!" Since I was much taller than he at 15 than he at age 11 I embraced him and we were one. That moment convinced us both that we were each others 'One and Only'. This relationship was sealed and Holy until my death which was caused by Tech Noir. When Tech Noir realized what I had done to destroy him he had his closest officers rape me until I died.
Arcane is too much of a gentleman to tell you any of this. I honor him for that. However, I want you to know what an awful heinous being Tech Noir really was. He really did deserve to die the second death! And not just on my account either!
note: (The Second death is the death of a Soul. As you may know in physics nothing can either be created or destroyed. It only can be transformed into somtthing else. Likewise a soul still remains a soul. However, the second death permanently removes all previous memories of the soul. The soul returns to perfect innocense once again.) end note.
When I was dying I psychicly screamed for Arcane. He then heard me and observed all that was happenning. Arcane and Tech Noir locked for a moment in a long distance psychic battle. Then Arcane saw that I must be saved so he yanked my soul permanently out of my body with Eridian's help. At this moment, Tech Noir was completely terrified and broken in a way you couldn't even imagine. At that moment I realized I had completely destroyed Tech Noir's will to live. I knew that moment that Arcane both could and would take his body and that he would die the Second Death! I knew my heinous death would be revenged by God through Arcane and Eridian and that my culture and world and all I held near and dear would be saved! Though deeply in pain on all levels I still maintained mental clarity while watching the soul death present in Tech Noir's eyes I permanently left my beautiful but now broken body.
You have all heard the saying of:" Behind every great man is a great woman". Well I have another saying: "Behind the fall of every great man is a great woman". Women support men or they destroy them. That is the blunt and honest truth. It cuts both ways.
After I separated from my body as A Ray In I still had a very strong will even stronger than Arcane's. However, I was a spiritual and emotional wreck so I went to Earth's heavens to be healed as New Deva's heavens were not the appropriate place to go just yet. Within 100 years I went to the New Deva Heavens but soon after that I was born as Celeste Weaver on a non religious planet based totally upon humanitarianism with all religions outlawed. It wasn't that people weren't allowed to believe in God. It was that they weren't allowed to organize any religions. As a result when children became adults on my planet sometimes they moved to planets that allowed religions. My planet was not Godless it was just religionless. So people had altars in their homes to pray to whatever God or Gods they believed in but that was as far as it went. People still were allowed to talk about God and even to study about God and religions they just weren't allowed to organze religions.
A Ray In was a turning point for me. Up until my incarnations of Fire Crystal and A Ray In I had been moving toward more and more altruistic goals as a soul. The damage done to my soul as A Ray In turned me another direction away from religions and towards humanism. I still was just a spiritual a person and soul. However, it took on new kinds of meanings in a humanistic based society. The settlers of my homeworld. We called our world Humanity One. (There were eventually founded Humanity One through Ten. So in the end there were 10 worlds that aligned in this type of world government that did not allow religions. However, it must be noted that we eventually had the same problem with Atheists that Earth in your time has with Extremists in Religions.
In other words Atheists, since they were not a religion with a God, organized and said that all people who believed in God should be mindwiped (have their memories scrubbed) and so a civil war began on Humanity One which wiped out half our population about 100 years after I grew up and left there. Since I am older than that now I have already lost almost half my relatives that remained on Humanity One since I left in this awful War. So as you can see even if you eliminate religions, people still find ways of creating havoc whether through atheism, science or even sports. On some planets people are so loyal to their sports teams that they battle for weeks if their team loses. In the end if people aren't happy for any reason at all they find some stupid reason or other to be violent and to wipe out half or more of their species on any given planet.
