without such an awareness−without a general sense of unity−their lives were always subject to the intrusions of<br />

those who thrived on dissent and force.<br />

She estimated that ninety percent of the people she'd conversed with were in favor of regular courses in<br />

schools about Oneness and its utterly practical benefits. Her example, her ability to influence others, were a great<br />

aid in her mission but she knew that one person, no matter how influential, couldn't convince people of<br />

something unless they somehow had a propensity for it within their own natures. She found herself often saying<br />

a silent prayer of gratitude to Akla.<br />

Verta found the traveling and greeting and talking triggering processes in her mind and heart that she'd<br />

been told would appear. But she'd never guessed how wonderful they could be. She had the best tutor for how to<br />

handle her blossoming qualities in her own mother.<br />

Within the last month, she'd noticed what she suspected was her reception of thoughts and feelings <strong>from</strong><br />

people who were in no way near her. She'd done some experimenting, checking with those around her, and could<br />

account for the alien impressions in no other way than that she could, in fact, engage in plasma communication<br />

at a distance.<br />

When she told her mother, their travel plans were immediately changed. They set out for a visit to<br />

<strong>An</strong>glana.<br />

While they were on <strong>An</strong>gla-Palli, <strong>An</strong>glana had told Mura about Taliv's intercession for Alunur. Mura was<br />

intrigued but decided she would do nothing to hasten any connection between Alunur and Verta.<br />

Verta was set to the task of attempting distance communication with people on <strong>An</strong>glana's planet who<br />

were thousands of miles away. In every case where she sent a request for their presence, the bewildered<br />

individual showed up. <strong>An</strong>glana asked Verta to attempt a communication with someone on the agricultural<br />

Created World. No one showed up.<br />

As far as Verta's learning how to keep the nearly constant reception of other's thoughts and feelings <strong>from</strong><br />

overmastering her own consciousness, she, in her own nature, had a head start. Her own sense of justice, her<br />

incessant self-demand that she think for herself and process her feelings at depth was a critical advantage. Still,<br />

the increasing volume of receptions would have overwhelmed her if <strong>An</strong>glana hadn't insisted, a number of times,<br />

that Verta submit to an infusion of <strong>An</strong>glana's living substance into her bloodstream. This was repeated daily for<br />

nine days. Verta then spent two full days sleeping. When she woke, her first words were:<br />

“Mother, there's a man who needs me to meet him.”<br />

“Who, Verta?”<br />

“His name is Alunur. He's been calling my name in his dreams.”<br />

As Mura and Verta traveled to the Territory of Aklana on <strong>An</strong>la-Purum for their audience with the Aklan<br />

Council of Justice, they had deep consultations about how to present their experience of teaching Akla's Faith.<br />

They also consulted about what Verta's ability with plasma communication meant in both their lives.<br />

Verta seemed to have forgotten about Alunur but her mother had trouble keeping her mind away <strong>from</strong><br />

the impending meeting.<br />

When they arrived in Oaur, the seat of the Council of Justice, they discovered that the Council had<br />

granted permission for a News Mesh team to be present at their meeting. The only word directly <strong>from</strong> the<br />

Council was that they considered the coverage to be critical for increased awareness of the necessity for Worlds'wide<br />

recognition of the Oneness of all <strong>An</strong>gians.<br />

Alunur was sitting in his favorite chair, under the tree by the pond in the Besul's backyard, when he<br />

heard a voice in his mind:<br />

I've heard you calling and I'm very near now.<br />

He stopped his sketching and, with trembling fingers, set aside his pad and pencil. He tried to stand up<br />

but found his legs unwilling to support him. In his mind he, with a feeling of ridiculousness, said: Who are you?<br />

The answer was immediate: My name is Verta and you should be standing outside the building that
