(Alana talks about her work in bridging the gap between dolphins and other researchers like herself. This session coincided with an upcoming trip to Cancun by myself to swim with wild dolphins. To prepare me she had some advice for the upcoming experience.)

Russ: Johnny I'd like you to meet my bondmate Alana. 

Alana: hello.

John: hello, I think we've met before haven't we?

Alana: yes we have once.

Russ: oh.

John: yeah I thought so.

Russ: I wasn't sure.

John: I thought we had.

Russ: I hate to be the antisocial person.

Alana: yes I thought I would drop by.

Russ: well thank you darling, good, I have questions for you.
 
Alana: okay.

Russ: now I've been reading a book written by a Earth author down here named Ann McCaffrey called the "Dolphins of Pern".

Alana: yes.

Russ: okay, and if you haven't got it up on the base I'm certain I can have it sent up.

Alana: uh-huh.

Russ: and it involves another planet where Earth's colonists go to to settle down and take some dolphins with them.

Alana: uh-huh.

Russ: unfortunately though they lose communication back with Earth and in the course of some 2,500 years, forget all about their origins and where they come from or anything.

Alana: uh-huh.

Russ: and the dolphins through this 2,500 years evolve, they were treated with something called meta-synth which help them develop earth languages, or English to speak English. And there used to be dolphins and their dolphineers which were their human counterparts that would work with them. And in this book it shows how 2,500 years, the dolphins reestablish their communication with man and working with them on determining currents and various places where the fish are thriving and this kind of thing.

Alana yes.

Russ: but I'm wondering is where your studies are taking you to, is that a similar route that you are going with these Sirian dolphins?

Alana: yes and no, what we're actually doing is we are studying the next evolutionary step for the dolphins. I communicate as best I can with the Sirian dolphins.

Russ: right.

Alana: that is obviously verbal communication as well as thought communication.

Russ: uh-huh.

Alana: I can tell them what to do in Sirian, the fact that they can't respond in Sirian is besides the point. They respond as I've said in the past telepathically.

Russ: right.

Alana: what we're trying to do is by introducing a population or a pod of earth dolphins is to see how spiritually developed they are. Like you have helped to create a Guardian race, they are helping to create a Guardian race here. The fact that most dolphins cannot astral travel means that we have to get a resident population up here for that purpose.

Russ: uh-huh, and how are those studies coming along?

Alana: they're coming along fine. I hadn't realized Katrina's legs were quite that long.

Russ: they are pretty long.

Alana: uh-huh.

Russ: yeah she's a very statuesque lady.

Alana: yes she is hmm, sorry.

Russ: that's all right, little woolgathering there I'm sure. Now as you know, or actually I don't think you do know, in March I'll be going down to Cancun, Mexico.

Alana: mother told me.

Russ: ahh and I will be going and visiting dolphins for the first time in my life to actually go swim with them.

Alana: uh-hmm.

Russ: and I could go visit some caged up dolphins somewhere I'm sure and get right......

Alana: no you don't want to do that.

Russ: but I don't really want to do that, I think the vibes would be all wrong. I'd rather go visit them in their natural surroundings much more conducive to.....

Alana: actually when you're in the water.......it's hard........in fact what I'd like you to do is to go with the caged dolphins right? And telepathically try with your mind to say that you are going to visit other dolphins, is there any messages?

Russ: oh okay.

Alana: and then you go swimming with the dolphins right?

Russ: uh-huh.

Alana: in the water and you relay the feelings and the emotions and the messages and then you go back to the ones in captivity and swim with those and make a fuss of them and give the feelings that you have received but it could be a two-edged sword. It depends on how spiritually they are evolved.

Russ: hmmm, it could be a good challenge though.

Alana: I will make myself available to discuss this, this is something that is a torturous question to ask and I do have other things on my mind. I don't want to be brought down to a negative level of thinking of this.

Russ: I understand, I understand.
