(Omal gives us his take at living in one body for as long as he has while we try to grasp that concept. He also explains his position of base commander necessitates him having to conclude debates within Council meetings along with either speeding them up or slowing them down.)

Russ: yeah, A’s still finishing up here, we had some tape left that just looped up and did a stop on us.

Omal: ahh, okay.

Russ: so no problem.

Omal: no problem at all.

Russ: all right, well I look forward to next week, that’ll be fun and we should have started earlier tonight but we had sushi that ran into it.

Omal: ahhh.

Russ: good sushi though.

Omal: sushi, fish.

Russ: raw fish on top of rice, a rather Asian cuisine, quite delicious.

Omal: I will have to endeavor to indulge in some at some time.

Russ: well you have enough salmon up there to have salmon sushi to last you the rest of your life....

Omal: ahh.

Russ: which should be quite a while. How’s that going by the way?

Omal: we have it under control.

Russ: I mean your life.

Omal: my life?

Russ: uh-huh, I believe you were planning on evolving at some point here?

Omal: eventually, soon.

Russ: well you have enough challenges to keep you happy, if challenges make you happy.

Omal: yes they do.

Russ: then you have plenty to keep you entertained and happy for many, many centuries to come.

Omal: you talk in the short term.

Russ: oh, that’s true. But still it's tough for me to comprehend the years that you’ve seen and will see from this point on and understand the timeline you live on….

Omal: yes.

Russ: compared to what I deal with.

Omal: tomorrow is but a moment….

Russ: correct.

Omal: next week is but a second, next year is but a minute. Next century is a little while.

Russ: now this is an interesting point though, when a person like yourself……oh excuse me like myself…..

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: who has lived many, many, many centuries but inhabited many different bodies and the memory of many different personalities, if I was on sixth dimension it would be as if I had actually lived all those.....

Omal: yes, when you desire to do so.

Russ: when I desire to do so correct. So in essence I would be more understanding of the timeline you live…..

Omal: yes definitely.

Russ: because I could look back on those times and go, “ahh okay, I remember back in Atlantis and when I stumbled across that bridge over there by the Great Pyramid” as opposed to now where it just seems like just like 39 years ago since I been born. But is that what gains you more…….

Omal: perspective?

Russ: perspective right, on moving upwards in dimensions once you get to the sixth?

Omal: yes, yes, it is the long view that time is important but also irrelevant. If you don’t get it achieved tomorrow you can get it achieved next week.

Russ: hmm.

Omal: but it is relevant also to the life expectancy. To you, a life expectancy of 80 years is a long time......

Russ: yeah.

Omal: so each day is very important.

Russ: right.

Omal: to a Sirian, where a life expectancy is anywhere between 900 to a thousand years, tomorrow is not as important, next week is. To someone such as myself, next week, next year, next decade, after I finish my tea.

Russ: (laughs) that’s good.

Omal: and having a tea mug that I've been presented with, it may take me ten years to drink the tea.

(he is talking of the gift of a mug with fifth dimensional properties so it could hold gallons of liquid)

Russ: well how does working Council sessions where you’re working with people from different dimensions and different timelines…..

Omal: there is a certain understanding that if it is not dealt with within a time limit that is mutually agreed upon, then we will revisit it and lay down a framework which will accelerate the necessary debating process for the advancement of the topic.

Russ: ahh okay.

Omal: but the majority of individuals that are in Council meetings, there is no one that has a life expectancy of less than 800 years.

Russ: hmm.

Omal: and frequently an individual will conclude a dozen different situations and debates within their lifetime. I have concluded hundreds.

Russ: wow.

Omal: but it is my function as the base commander to decide when it is necessary to accelerate or to slow down a debate.......

Russ: hmm.

Omal: or to revisit a debate.
