                 (Tia relates what her home
                            planet of Durondedunn is like along some of
                            the details of her rescue that brought her
                            to be with us channeling on Hades Base. We
                            get more details as well about the other
                            Durondedunns on the base who were from a
                            time 200 years in Durondedunn’s past.)
 
 
 Russ: so what’s up
                                        baby? Who is this girl that’s
                                        got this 21'th
                                        birthday coming up?
 
 Tia: oh Rishee?
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Tia: well within
                                        the next 10 days of her birthday, all
                                        her Akashic records will be
                                        accessible to her.
 
 (she
                                        would have been turning 21)
 
 Russ: now is that
                                        something that’s just keyed into
                                        her genetic memory or is that
                                        something that’s given to her
                                        externally by somebody else?
 
 Tia: I’m not quite
                                        sure……..
 
 Russ: like we said
                                        we heard Omal would be
                                        commencing her or something,
                                        giving her a commencement?
 
 Tia: it’s something
                                        that I’m not that familiar with
                                        not being from the Sirian race
                                        but being from a lowly third
                                        dimensional race that will one
                                        day be pulled by its bootstraps
                                        screaming and struggling and
                                        giving birth to a new world of
                                        sixth dimensional wonderment.
 
 Russ: so being as
                                        that you're sixth dimensional,
                                        you don’t have all the perks
                                        that come with sixth dimension?
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: what a shame.
 
 Tia: pity isn’t it?
 
 Russ: what’s the
                                        point?
 
 Tia: what’s the
                                        point? I don’t know what the
                                        point is apart from I’m having
                                        an absolute blast.
 
 (Russ starts
                                        laughing)
 
 Russ: I’d say, “I’d
                                        want my money back. I paid for
                                        this trip”
 
 Tia: I paid with it
                                        with my life.
 
 Russ: yeah, right
                                        well, you wouldn’t want your
                                        life back.
 
 Tia: no not really,
                                        I’m happy where I am.
 
 Russ: I know you
                                        get homesick every once in a
                                        while but you’ve got a new home.
                                        It’s like…….
 
 Tia: yeah, but I
                                        would like to be able to under
                                        the mandarin
                                        trees and the I don’t know what
                                        you’d call them, they're kind of
                                        a fluffy, leafed-type type tree.
 
 Russ: you can do
                                        that.
 
 Tia: oh but it’s
                                        not quite the same you know?
 
 Russ: in your
                                        astral body.
 
 Two: oh yeah but
                                        it’s not the same as being able
                                        to reach down and go, “ow, that
                                        thorn just stabbed me in the
                                        foot.”
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: the holo’s up
                                        here tend to, if there’s a thorn
                                        in the way, it kind of scoots
                                        across the floor or you step on
                                        it and you don’t feel it.
 
 (the
                                        hologram suites as could be
                                        compared to the holo decks of
                                        Star Trek)
 
 Russ: well I mean
                                        you could go to the planet
                                        couldn’t you?
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: you have
                                        done.
 
 Tia: oh in the
                                        astral form.
 
 Russ: in the astral
                                        form.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: but it’s still
                                        not quite the same.
 
 Russ: well, I
                                        mean……yeah that’s true.
 
 Tia: I mean I’d
                                        like to be able to walk under a
                                        moonlit night and watch the bawa
                                        trees and…
 
 Russ: bawa?
 
 Tia: bawa.
 
 Russ: so what
                                        extraterrestrial group is
                                        helping them go up to sixth
                                        dimension, any?
 
 Tia: yeah probably
                                        but I really don’t know.
 
 Russ: it’s not
                                        Ashtar Command….
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: it’s in a
                                        different sector.
 
 Tia: yeah, it’s way
                                        in a different sector.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: it’s like two
                                        sectors over actually.
 
 Russ: so it would
                                        be like the Galactic Federation
                                        kind of deal.
 
 Tia: yeah probably
                                        one of the White Brotherhoods or
                                        something.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: or probably
                                        for my world, a White
                                        Sisterhood.
 
 Russ: hmm, that’s
                                        true. So do they channel on
                                        Durondedunn?
 
 Tia: I would assume
                                        so but I don’t know.
 
 Russ: you never
                                        heard of such a thing?
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: now you being
                                        in the priestess class……
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: right? How do
                                        they talk to God or gods or
                                        whatever, goddesses?
 
 Tia: by prayer and
                                        emotion and feeling.
 
 Russ: but the gods
                                        or goddesses or whatever never
                                        talk back.
 
 Tia: there are
                                        recordings of the great goddess
                                        saying, “thy are the children.”
 
 Russ: right, now
                                        where does this come from? I
                                        mean, this sounds like
                                        channeling to me. It’s where we
                                        get all our stuff from,
                                        channeling.
 
 Tia: yeah, I know
                                        what you’re saying and probably
                                        yes it is channeling more than
                                        likely, we’ve had this
                                        philosophical, theological
                                        debate before……big words
                                        tonight.
 
 Russ: yes.
 
 Tia: hey, good name
                                        for the tape, big word tape.
 
 Russ: big word
                                        tape.
 
 Tia: yeah, we’ve
                                        had these philosophical debates
                                        before in the past along a
                                        theological level and…..
 
 Russ: well a lot of
                                        it was dealing with our planet.
 
 Tia: yes and it’s
                                        probably, possibly the same on
                                        many, many worlds. I’m only
                                        conjecturing here and amplifying
                                        on my thoughts of the
                                        possibility.
 
 Russ: so you’ve had
                                        these thoughts before?
 
 Tia: yes.
 
 Russ: yes.
 
 Tia: uh-huh but the
                                        word channeling, there is no
                                        word in our dictionary for
                                        channeling.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: a channel is
                                        an unknown thing or the word.
 
 Russ: so
                                        spiritually you’re kind of
                                        behind us?
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: okay.
 
 Tia: you’ve got to
                                        think differently.
 
 Russ: well I’m
                                        trying to adjust my thought
                                        process here.
 
 Tia: that was one
                                        of the hardest things for me was
                                        adjusting my thought patterns to
                                        meet the new environment.
 
 Russ: well how is
                                        the new Durondedunn’s doing with
                                        it?
 
 (the
                                        Durondedunn's found in stasis
                                        from an earlier period than
                                        Tia's and transferred to the
                                        base)
 
 Tia: they’re having
                                        worse problems than I did.
 
 Russ: oh are they?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well I
                                        haven’t heard about them in
                                        months now, what’s going on with
                                        them?
 
 Tia: they’re
                                        attending classes.
 
 Russ: she’s
                                        pregnant right?
 
 Tia: no, she’s had
                                        her litter.
 
 Russ: and?
 
 Tia: she had four
                                        male cubs.
 
 Russ: four male
                                        cubs?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: ahhh.
 
 Tia: yeah and my
                                        cubs think they’re absolutely
                                        hilarious.
 
 Russ: why?
 
 Tia: because only
                                        one of them has developed
                                        abilities.
 
 Russ: oh really?
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: and the other
                                        three haven’t?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: oh, deadheads
                                        huh?
 
 Tia: no, just
                                        different ways of thinking.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: and they’re
                                        very much different from the Cubs.
                                        They’re not as controlled, even
                                        from an early age, they’re very
                                        into everything.
 
 Russ: your Cubs
                                        are very mentally advanced
                                        though too.
 
 Tia: yeah well not
                                        by the norm up here........not
                                        from the norm up here but from
                                        my race yes.
 
 Russ: well you had
                                        Mark as a father though too
                                        which had a lot to do with it.
 
 Tia: yeah, uh-huh
                                        but also the fact remains that
                                        they were……that the Cubs,
                                        Teela’s Cubs
                                        are very third dimensional in
                                        their behavior, their thought
                                        patterns and their growth
                                        patterns. Mentally they're not
                                        so advanced.
 
 Russ: but they’re
                                        sixth dimensional also?
 
 Tia: yes and no,
                                        yes and no. Their behaviors are very
                                        third dimensional and their
                                        mental developments are very
                                        third dimensional.
 
 Russ: yeah, that stands
                                        to reason.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: I mean both
                                        parents were third dimensional.
 
 Tia: yeah as is in
                                        the case of my Cubs.
 
 Russ: correct.
 
 Tia: but they’re
                                        very…..the difference is very
                                        prominent when you see them
                                        playing. They play like children
                                        did on my planet.
 
 Russ:
                                        rough-and-tumble?
 
 Tia: yeah,
                                        rough-and-tumble and there’s a
                                        lot of fighting and claws come
                                        out. Being males, they’re not as
                                        aggressive as the Cubs,
                                        as my Cubs.
                                        They tend to be a little more
                                        docile but it's still, you get
                                        in the tumbling match with them
                                        and they’ll bite you, much as I
                                        used to bite my sisters.........
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: and my older
                                        brothers and my younger
                                        brothers. We'd bring out our
                                        claws and latch on to each other
                                        and pull hair and bite and
                                        scratch and…
 
 Russ: lucky the med
                                        center is nearby probably.
 
 Tia: the other
                                        children tried to communicate
                                        with them but they tend to shut
                                        them out and hide within
                                        themselves when the other
                                        children try to talk to them.
 
 Russ: well that’s
                                        typical, they feel left out….
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: that they’re
                                        strange. I would think that
                                        they'd get along real well with
                                        the Cubs,
                                        your Cubs.
 
 Tia: when they play
                                        they do but when the Cubs
                                        start to ask them questions
                                        right? In either English or
                                        Sirian or Durondedunn or on the
                                        intimate mode right? The cubs
                                        don’t respond. They will respond
                                        in Durondedunn but they won’t
                                        speak in any other language and
                                        telepathically, they don’t even
                                        hear which is kind of sad. Maybe
                                        it will come in later on.
 
 Russ: it’s
                                        possible, I mean the abilities
                                        are much easier to get up there.
 
 Tia: oh yeah but I
                                        mean at the age that they are
                                        now of six months, they
                                        don’t………..you know?
 
 Russ: yeah they’re
                                        still young.
 
 Tia: yeah whereas
                                        my girls were, “will you shut up
                                        type thing, stop babbling.”
 
 Russ: “will you
                                        knock it off.”
 
 Tia: you want me to
                                        jump up and down on the bed and
                                        do what I did when I was
                                        pregnant?
 
 Russ: so.....but
                                        Teela’s proud of her cubs.
 
 Tia: oh yeah, she’s
                                        very proud of them, very
                                        protective over them
                                        as well.
 
 Russ: but she feels
                                        a little bit weird about the
                                        situation she’s bringing them up
                                        in I’m sure.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: I mean this
                                        is an environment that is the
                                        last place she expected to be
                                        raising children in.
 
 Tia: uh-huh well
                                        she told me that she never
                                        expected to have children.
 
 Russ: oh really?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: oh.
 
 Tia: but when the
                                        opportunity came to have her
                                        sterilization reversed, she was
                                        all for it, something new for
                                        her. The
                                        fact that compared to me they’re
                                        200 years behind the evolution
                                        mentally and physically, really
                                        hurts them.
 
 Russ: well, it'd
                                        just be the same as if Mark’s
                                        gone up there and he’s way
                                        behind but he’s catching up.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: it’s just a
                                        process of being there for a
                                        while and getting used to it.
 
 Tia: yeah but you
                                        have to remember that
                                        intellectually wise they
                                        are much smarter than I am.
 
 Russ: they are,
                                        because they're scientists.
 
 Tia: that’s right
                                        but I'm much more aware of
                                        things. They came from a time
                                        where things were very third
                                        dimensional. Things like they
                                        were very concerned with
                                        economic growth, technological
                                        development…….
 
 Russ: well I still
                                        have trouble understanding the
                                        fact that you come from a later
                                        age than they do.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: but yet you
                                        got here first.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: that’s still
                                        throws me a little bit.
 
 Tia: well the way
                                        that they’ve developed, the way
                                        that they are is very much
                                        scientific……..I mean they’re not
                                        in tune with their environment,
                                        they’re not spiritually……the wars
                                        are still a memory for them.
 
 Russ: yeah that’s
                                        true, for you they're just a
                                        history lesson.
 
 Tia: yeah, I mean
                                        their grandparents talked of the
                                        war.
 
 Russ: yeah.
 
 Tia: so they had
                                        first-hand knowledge.
 
 Russ: now I’ve got
                                        a question I’ve been meaning to
                                        ask you......
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: have you ever
                                        really pondered upon your
                                        arrival at Hades Base?
 
 Tia: my arrival?
 
 Russ: I mean your
                                        arrival being found by Ashtar
                                        Command alone…..
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: and being
                                        placed at Hades Base?
 
 Tia: well I did a
                                        full D jump to one of their
                                        perimeter bases.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: and somebody
                                        happened to pick up on the aura
                                        right? And the fact that it was
                                        very depressed and very close to
                                        death right? And they put it in
                                        an intensifying field right? And
                                        it was thought best to take me
                                        from where I was to a better,
                                        safer area where they had better
                                        equipment to deal with me.
 
 Russ: why Hades
                                        Base?
 
 Tia: it wasn’t
                                        Hades Base originally, I don’t
                                        really know the full story and
                                        they won’t tell me.
 
 Russ: but how did
                                        you get chosen to be put at
                                        Hades Base? I mean, I’m just
                                        looking at it from the past
                                        through to now and looking at
                                        the whole way this has all
                                        worked out.
 
 Tia: from what I’ve
                                        heard of some of the other
                                        bases, they’re much more rougher
                                        and readier and smaller.
 
 Russ: well why
                                        weren’t you put at Sirius or
                                        Alpha Centauri?
 
 Tia: I think that’s
                                        where they did a
                                        lot of the rejuvening and
                                        cloning and repairing and so on.
                                        My body was apparently in very
                                        bad condition.
 
 Russ: on Sirius?
 
 Tia: yeah. So I
                                        mean Sirius is the hotspot for
                                        technological advances and
                                        stuff.
 
 Russ: all right now
                                        here’s the big question.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: did they have
                                        access to your past lives due to
                                        your body being there?
 
 Tia: I think so
                                        probably yes but they didn’t put
                                        them into me.
 
 Russ: no but they
                                        could read your past lives from
                                        your Akashic records.
 
 Tia: probably yes,
                                        probably more than likely yes.
 
 Russ: they have the
                                        technology I know.
 
 Tia: oh yeah and
                                        that’s probably why I was……..
 
 Russ: you got put
                                        at Hades Base.
 
 Tia: is for the
                                        potential. I’ve only been out of
                                        (brrrrrr)
                                        cold storage for seven years.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: I know but
                                        the way everything has worked
                                        out…….
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: I mean you
                                        could have been anywhere.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: right?
 
 Tia: those first
                                        three years with the toughest
                                        years of my life.
 
 Russ: yeah, had to
                                        be.
 
 Tia: total isolated
                                        loner learning first of all
                                        English and then trying to learn
                                        Sirian and then being given a
                                        job in analyzing data which I
                                        didn't understand. And the fact
                                        that I was alone and my
                                        religious practices almost
                                        ostracized me. The
                                        fact that I killed one pet
                                        dog…….
 
 Russ: (laughs) I’ve
                                        got to hear about this story.
 
 Tia: okay you want
                                        to here about this story?
 
 Russ: yeah I want
                                        to hear this story.
 
 Tia: okay this was
                                        I’d been on the base like a
                                        month.
 
 Russ: Hades Base?
 
 Tia: uh-huh and it
                                        was the season of development on
                                        my planet where we go out on the hunt
                                        and the instinct was very strong
                                        in me and we look for animals to
                                        offer to the goddess.
 
 Russ: okay.
 
 Tia: and there was
                                        this dog wandering along right?
                                        And it was walking through a
                                        park and I happened to be up in
                                        a tree and I just jumped down,
                                        broke its neck in the
                                        traditional way. I
                                        took it back to my apartment,
                                        skinned it and roasted it and
                                        ate its strength.
 
 Russ: oh no, and?
 
 Tia: and it was a
                                        pet dog.
 
 Russ: right?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and the
                                        owners?
 
 Tia: the owners
                                        were quite upset.
 
 Russ: I can
                                        imagine.
 
 Tia: they
                                        understood……..
 
 Russ: yeah.
 
 Tia: but they were
                                        very upset. Fortunately they
                                        didn’t have any children.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: it did have
                                        puppies that had been weaned, it
                                        was like how would you describe
                                        it? It had been a line of pets
                                        that had been a long time in
                                        their family.
 
 Russ: oh God.
 
 Tia: yeah. So the
                                        fact that I didn’t destroy the
                                        line…….
 
 Russ: so who sat
                                        down and had a little talk with
                                        you?
 
 Tia: Omal.
 
 Russ: Omal, yeah I
                                        can imagine. How’d that talk go?
 
 Tia: he understood
                                        very well the religious
                                        ramifications and it was
                                        something they overlooked and he
                                        was very apologetic to me for
                                        not catering to my special
                                        needs.
 
 Russ: right, they
                                        could’ve supplied you with a dog
                                        to come wandering under the tree
                                        or something maybe.
 
 Tia: yeah but it
                                        was eating the strength of the
                                        dog.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: the fact that
                                        I used to have an apartment full
                                        of cats. You reckon you have a
                                        problem with cats.
 
 Russ: you had a
                                        bunch huh?
 
 Tia: I had a bunch,
                                        I think the record was like 30
                                        at one point.
 
 Russ: 30?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: what, all the
                                        neighborhood cats would all come
                                        over to Tia’s place?
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: and Tia’s
                                        giving them great food and
                                        stuff?
 
 Tia: no, because I
                                        would sit down and talk to them.
 
 Russ: oh yeah.
 
 Tia: nobody talked
                                        to them on the base in the same
                                        mental wavelength.
 
 Russ: oh and you
                                        did?
 
 Tia: yeah and I
                                        would sit down and they would
                                        tell me all the gossip and what
                                        was going on and it was sort of
                                        like I wish I could join in but
                                        being so short and different, I
                                        felt very out of place.
 
 Russ: so the cats
                                        were your best friends?
 
 Tia: uh-huh, I
                                        still have a few of them that
                                        gatecrash. In fact there is one
                                        that had her litter the other
                                        day.
 
 Russ: did she?
 
 Tia: uh-huh. I was
                                        sitting in my office minding my
                                        own business right? And there is
                                        a nudge at my foot and I look
                                        down and there she is right? And
                                        she’s got a kitten in her mouth.
                                        She dumps the kitten down, rubs
                                        up against my leg and the kitten
                                        was wet.
 
 Russ: oh.
 
 Tia: eyes closed,
                                        about yea big……
 
 Russ: newborn.
 
 Tia: and then she
                                        came back and then dumped
                                        another down at my feet and it
                                        took her about four hours and
                                        she had three kittens
                                        there……four kittens. Yeah four
                                        kittens.
 
 Russ: one an hour?
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: was she on
                                        the other side of the base or
                                        something?
 
 Tia: I think so.
 
 Russ: and?
 
 Tia: and they now
                                        have a bed underneath my desk.
 
 Russ: ahhhhh.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: that's cool.
 
 Tia: so I bring
                                        them salmon every morning.
 
 Russ: so she’s over
                                        there always watching her
                                        kittens and just talking to you.
 
 Tia: yeah she
                                        disappears off and it’s her last
                                        litter.
 
 Russ: oh it is?
 
 Tia: yeah, she's I
                                        think about seven years old, she
                                        was young when I met her.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Tia: yeah she was
                                        like Wicca.
 
 (one
                                        of our younger house cats)
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: Wicca’s age
                                        and she’s had I think four
                                        litters so far.
 
 Russ: wow.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: so you’ve got
                                        a new little…..
 
 Tia: brood under my
                                        desk.
 
 Russ: office mates
                                        there.
 
 Tia: yeah, I have
                                        to clean it out every morning,
                                        it absolutely reeks in the
                                        morning.
 
 Russ: yeah, I can
                                        imagine.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: still they’re
                                        probably really happy to be
                                        there.
 
 Tia: oh yeah.
 
 Russ: is the milk
                                        she is giving them feeding them
                                        and everything?
 
 Tia: oh yeah, she’s
                                        the one that eats all the
                                        salmon.
 
 Russ: yeah that’s
                                        what I figured, they’re too
                                        young to eat salmon.
 
 Tia: yeah, oh we’ll
                                        sit there and argue over a piece
                                        of raw salmon and she munches on
                                        it and I’ll eat a piece and then
                                        she’ll eat a piece and pass it
                                        backwards and forwards. I’ll
                                        give her some of the milk that I
                                        bring in and she’ll sit there
                                        and then she’ll curl up on my
                                        lap whilst I’m trying to type,
                                        it’s quite an inconvenience but
                                        it’s fun too.
 
 Russ: yeah I can
                                        imagine. Well that’s a neat
                                        story Tia, I hadn’t
                                        heard that one before.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: killed a dog,
                                        oh man that’s too much.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and now that
                                        they understand these needs,
                                        Teela and her mate and you and
                                        everyone don’t have this problem
                                        anymore.
 
 Tia: Teela’s not
                                        religious.
 
 Russ: oh.
 
 Tia: yeah, I’ve
                                        tried to explain to her about
                                        the religion and everything, she
                                        goes, “yes, I’ve heard about
                                        those outcasts.” Apparently 200
                                        years ago, the goddess’
                                        worshipers were an outcast
                                        class.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Tia: (speaks to
                                        herself) outcast
                                        class.
 
 Russ: until the
                                        need for religion reared its
                                        ugly head and......
 
 Tia: they unified.
 
 Russ: yeah but…..
 
 Tia: there still
                                        were a lot of factions and
                                        things.
 
 Russ: oh there were
                                        when they were still…….?
 
 Tia: yeah, a lot of
                                        factions but there was peace and
                                        there was a lot of mainly
                                        political struggles. I mean when
                                        they left…….
 
 Russ: well actually
                                        the religion actually saved the
                                        planet right?
 
 Tia: pretty much so
                                        yeah.
 
 Russ: that’s what I
                                        thought because that unified
                                        them.......
 
 Tia: uh-huh......
 
 Russ: under one
                                        religion.
 
 Tia: it gave us all
                                        a unified cause.
 
 Russ: like for
                                        example, if we all had one
                                        religion, we'd be a much happier
                                        planet.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: but we don’t
                                        have that ability.
 
 Tia: uh-huh but the
                                        thing was that the unifying
                                        factor of everybody being pulled
                                        together. I mean at one time
                                        about 220 years ago we were an
                                        outcast, all the people that
                                        believed in the goddess. They
                                        were like the New Age people
                                        down on you planet are, somebody
                                        to laugh at.
 
 Russ: well who
                                        would’ve guessed. Well actually,
                                        they’re not laughed at so much,
                                        now we’re becoming more like you
                                        were as far as a unifying force.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: everyone now
                                        is starting……I mean everyone
                                        believes in UFOs practically.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: everyone’s
                                        starting to believe in past
                                        lives.
 
 Tia: uh-huh but the
                                        thing is that there are still
                                        other religious sects right?
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: and they are
                                        accepted and smiled upon, the
                                        difference of each other. But
                                        now it’s instead of the
                                        political struggles and
                                        everything, there are the
                                        religious sects and the debates.
                                        Now the debates themselves are
                                        quite entertaining and funny to
                                        watch because you'll get some
                                        people that will as Mark might
                                        say spout rhetoric.
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Tia: uh-huh and
                                        that’s all they’ll spout and
                                        they won’t think for themselves
                                        and then there’s those of us
                                        that worship the goddess and
                                        we'll just sit there and
                                        go............no freethinking.
 
 Russ: right. Well
                                        yeah, I mean you’re going to get
                                        that in every civilization.
 
 Tia: oh yeah.
 
 Russ: more so on
                                        ours. People are not as
                                        psychically developed down here
                                        as you’ve probably got them up
                                        there right now.
 
 Tia: well the ones
                                        with the psychic abilities are
                                        the ones that are persecuted. I
                                        had to be very, very quiet about
                                        the fact that I could astral
                                        travel.
 
 Russ: well that’s
                                        probably changed now hasn’t it?
 
 Tia: I don’t know.
 
 Russ: some what, 10
                                        years later?
 
 Tia: I really don’t
                                        know. I mean the ones that were
                                        astral travelers that were full
                                        priestesses from what I’ve
                                        heard, these are only rumors and
                                        stories from when I was little
                                        girl where they were the higher
                                        ones right? And it was a
                                        revelation to them.
 
 Russ: we’ll had you
                                        not had your accident…..
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: then because
                                        it was sort of secret for you to
                                        do this right?
 
 Tia: yeah uh-huh
                                        and forbidden.
 
 Russ: had this not
                                        been forbidden…..
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: had this been
                                        more accepted as part of their
                                        thing, you might not have done
                                        the rather risky stuff you did.
 
 Tia: that’s right.
 
 Russ: and you might
                                        have never have left
                                        Durondedunn.
 
 Tia: that’s
                                        correct. I get the feeling that
                                        most of the priestesses that
                                        have the astral travel gift have
                                        them from an early age and were
                                        smarter about letting them come
                                        out,
                                        that they decided that that’s
                                        what they wanted
                                        to be was a priestess, a virgin
                                        for their whole entire life and
                                        with me I wasn’t sure.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: and when you
                                        become a priestess you get
                                        initiated in all sorts of things
                                        and I have a sneaking suspicion
                                        that the ones that are pointed
                                        in that direction already have
                                        the astral travel ability and
                                        it’s not something that they
                                        developed as when they became
                                        priestesses, it’s something that
                                        they experimented with.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Tia: like I did but
                                        I took it a step further or many
                                        steps further.
 
 Russ: right well it
                                        could’ve gone either way.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: I’m just glad
                                        it went the way it did.
 
 Tia: yeah, I would
                                        have been an initiated priestess
                                        and totally virgin.
 
 Russ: and that
                                        would be similar to our nuns
                                        down here.
 
 Tia: yes.
 
 Russ: and I’m sure
                                        there’s nuns who have a lot of
                                        psychic gifts.
 
 Tia: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: all that
                                        praying and celibacy, meditating
                                        and all that, I mean I’m sure
                                        they’ve had some dramatic
                                        experiences.
 
 Tia: yes very
                                        religious experiences.
 
 Russ: you don’t
                                        hear about.
 
 Tia: no.
 
 Russ: just like on
                                        your planet.
 
 Tia: uh-huh and
                                        they’re probably very hidden and
                                        kept secret like on my planet.
 
 Russ: so there are
                                        some correlations here.
 
 Tia: yeah.
 
 Russ: hmmm.
 
 Tia: okay.
 
 Russ: okay.
