The Introduction
As Zack was pouring the drinks, he told the guys he would like to spend some quality time looking over the sequence of the mosaics; that Todd had pointed out. Todd had no objection Tommy however, was older and liked to be home by dark. So Todd said he could take his car if he wanted, he would call his wife for a ride later when Zack had finished looking over the Halaka. Tommy replied: Ok I'll leave shortly.
Zack however was most interested and this had Todd even more excited, Todd showed Zack the sequences he had noticed, and Zack agreed; there had to be a reason why the designer would use different colors every so many pieces, it literally has thousands of pieces. The design was very complicated it just didn’t make since that the designer would use different colors in different orders. After awhile Zack called a friend from the university professor Livingston which is known as the math guru. Zack proceeded to inform the math professor about the Halaka and the fascinating design. Professor Livingston told Zack to take photos and send them to him on the phone, Zack wasted no time taking the photos, telling Todd: Let’s send these now he’s kind of interested. We don’t want to keep him waiting. Todd agreed and kept drinking the fine bourbon that Zack had opened. While waiting on a response from Livingston. Zack examined the Halaka with his magnifying glass to great length. The phone rang it was professor Livingston, Zack put the phone on speaker mode so Todd could hear, Livingston proceeded to tell them he was very pleased to have the pictures, also that the mosaics do insinuate some mathematical sequence but with the photos it’s hard to make out for sure if. However he would be most interested in looking further into the matter if they could find a suitable time to gather and study the Halaka in person. Todd immediately said: Sure.
Zack replied: Yes let’s do it here, what time is good for you?
Livingston replied: How about tomorrow afternoon? Todd shook his head yes Zack responded: Yes that’s good for both of us, you name the time we will be here waiting for you
Livingston said: I'll be over around 2:00 pm. Zack replied: That will be great; we will look forward to seeing you, goodbye.
Zack then told Todd: If he wants to come this quickly he has found something that interest him for sure, I've never known him to get excited. (With a short giggle) Todd told Zack he had better call his wife to come pick him up,
Zack replied: Todd I'm sure glad I got to meet you and this Halaka is just what we've been missing, some excitement around here.
Todd replied: Thank you sir, I appreciate your help I will see you tomorrow. Zack closed the case on the Halaka and they finished off the last of the bottle with simple small talk until Kathy arrived to pick up Todd, leaving Todd said again: Thank you for your hospitality, Zack replied: The privilege is all mine.
Once on the road, Kathy asked Todd: Well don’t keep me waiting, what did he say?
Todd replied: Honey I really don't know exactly what it's worth but Zack said it was worth a lot, he called his friend another professor from UNC, he is coming over tomorrow to look at it.
Saturday morning arrived and Todd was up brewing some coffee anxiously awaiting the meeting after lunch, and like clockwork talk-a lot Tommy called at the crack of dawn. It was the normal Saturday Morning pre-yard sale chat. Tommy was ready to roll, he was somewhat of a hoarder; he would buy something even if he didn’t need it. Just so he would have some kind of bragging rights. Todd taunts Tommy as he told him; it supposed to rain hard all day. Tommy has heard that scare tactic before so it doesn’t bother him at all. He joked back with: I've got my water boots on, insinuating he was going scouting the goods regardless. Tommy asked Todd; how it went last night with Zack,
Todd responded: Well he called another professor at UNC and he is going over today to Zacks at 2:00"
Tommy said: Let me know what they come up with"
Todd responded: Ok, be careful out there today.
Tommy replied: Ok bye.
It was 2:00pm and Todd was pulling into Zacks drive and he noticed several cars parked that weren't there the day before. Zack was standing outside flagging Todd to the front of the house where he has saved a spot for Todd up close to the house. Todd parked and opened the trunk as Zack was walking up to the car, he waved and told Todd Buddy we got a house full of very prominent people wanting to see the actual Halaka as Livingston has been on the phone and sharing the photos with our colleagues, a lot of discussion is going on inside already, Todd a little nervous asked how many Jews are in there? Zack replied: None that I know of why? Todd told him about the adamant Jewish man offering to buy the Halaka. Zack assured Todd; that he and his colleagues had no intentions of pressuring him to sell. Todd felt better and made a move toward the house. Zack sensed Todd's nervousness reassured Todd with: Son I've known your uncle for 50 years I'd never let anyone hassle you in my house, be assured you are the guest here today!
Todd replied: Thank you, that makes me feel better. Once inside Zack introduced Todd to his colleagues, there are 7 in the room including Todd and Zack. They have prepared the table with stools surrounding where Todd placed the Halaka.
Zack said: Todd before you open the case, can you tell everyone how you obtained the instrument?"
Todd answered: Sure, I bought it on EBay with auction bid, and I was very nervous as the minutes were winding down, I wanted it really bad, why I don’t know; I just fell in love with the design of both the instrument and the mosaic inlay. After looking at the pictures and searching the instrument to no avail, I was very nervous that I hadn’t set my high bid high enough to win at the last few seconds. But I got lucky and won for a total of just over 600.00." Then Todd opened the case and all heads were leaning in and all eyes were feasting on the instruments design and inlay. Chat began like old ladies at bingo.
Todd stepped back, Zack joined him as they head straight to the bar, Zack said: I'm fixing you a drink you need to calm down and relax buddy. Todd nodding his head agreed. Zack informed Todd about the guys sitting at the table, the guy measuring the Halaka is a math professor, the guy writing notes is a physics professor, the guy on the left of him counting pieces is a science professor, the guy on his left is a history professor, the elder in the middle is the Dean of UNC.
Todd said: Wow professor Livingston must've saw something on those photos important enough to get all these guys together overnight.
Zack chuckled and replied: They were all at the golf course this morning for a 18 hole round at lunch is when Livingston told them about the Halaka and the 2pm meeting. They all wanted to join him as we professors are always aggressively seeking something new. They ask to join Livingston he didn’t ask them.
Todd said: O I see. Meanwhile the history professor Hathaway is flipping through a rather thick book he brought, he finds the Halaka in one book but none have inlay mosaics in them. He tells the others the history and origin of the instrument, which in modern history shows the majority were made in Syria or Egypt. Professor Livingston announced he researched the instrument last night on the internet but couldn't find one single source with mosaic inlay, the history professor Hathaway replied: The Jewish people were known for putting mosaics on a lot of different surfaces, maybe the designer/builder of this Halaka just done this one special for himself or someone he knew. It had to take a long time to do the mosaic. I can’t see anyone mass producing this back in their time. They all agreed. Todd grinned and said to Zack I love how you intelligent folk all agree and that makes it a fact, Zack spits his drink out laughing as he knows exactly what Todd meant.
Soon afterwards the history professor Hathaway nudged the math professor and proclaimed a conspiracy: I may be jumping the gun here, but from my recollection all of the previous mosaics I’ve seen the patterns do not change colors unless they are in a certain sequence, these colors change
out of sequence and its obvious from the pattern it is intentional. Todd interrupted with: I've studied the sequence enough to tell you the pattern I’ve found in each sequence is a binary number of skips or a Fibonacci sequence. The math professor immediately started counting, the other professors joined in with their pointing devices, each came to the same conclusion; “He’s right! Professor Livingston still counting and jotting on the scrap paper, aggressively said: Come on (still counting) Come on, then the Dean said: What is it? Livingston (holding up his finger-meaning hold on) finished counting again he stood up and said: You’re not going to believe this, but the sequence does have Fibonacci and binary sequences. Look as you count the red colors they skip until they land on a golden ratio. Everyone leaned in and started counting again, and the blue was binary.
Livingston stepped back and said: Zack I think I need a drink too. Shaking his head with a puzzled but interested look on his face; what could that mean, there’s no way that’s an accident. He downed the first drink and said: Make the next one a double.
Todd laughed and said: See I'm not crazy; Professor Livingston had the same look in his eye; that I've had since I noticed the sequence. Livingston replied: You have a keen eye, because I didn’t even notice that. Todd then responded: Well I've got to admit I've been looking at it for roughly 12 hours or so longer than you guys, in all fairness it’s so fascinating to look at, until you just wouldn’t think to count them right away because you’re taken back by the sheer man hours it took to make the mosaic. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is close to a half million pieces in that mosaic.
Livingston said: We need to know how many pieces are in total, start to organize a spreadsheet of each color sequence, and build a graft chart indicating the flow of colors. The other professors all agree as some are still counting colors, each counting a different color come up with the same thing either binary or the golden ratio as a sequence, Livingston is amazed, he asks Todd: Where did you go to college?
Todd replied: Duke University, if you’re wondering how I knew about the golden ratio.
Livingston said: That’s exactly what I was getting to. Livingston walks back to the Halaka and asked: What do you guys think? (Over the low chatter they have going)
The History buff Hathaway said: 99% of these pictures in this book of mosaics do not show colors out of sequence, that’s about all I know, I do find it most interesting that the color sequence is different in this arrangement, and that the number of skips are similar to several major mathematical sequences. I don’t know what to think of that, that’s your field. (Chuckling) the other professors agreed with him.
The Dean Dr. Schneider asked Todd: Do you mind bringing this by the University and let our photographer get HD photos?
Todd replied: No sir I see no harm in that, what day is good for you? The Dean Replied: Anytime during the week before 3pm, call to make sure you don’t waste a trip (handing him a card) I've got to go guys, the wife is no doubt wondering where I am by now. He turned back toward Todd (extended his hand for a handshake) and told Todd: Thank you; for letting us look at your instrument; it is very nice, I look forward to seeing you when you bring it to the University.
Todd replied: Thank You sir, but the honor is all mine. Two of the professors got up and announced they must be leaving also, (everyone was chatting and shaking hands as they left. They made sure to assure Todd, that they enjoyed seeing his instrument) meanwhile Zack and Livingston were back at the table looking the Halaka over once again, Todd walked back to the table and sat for awhile and listened to the chatter. Back and forth each making incremental discoveries, two hours had passed, the three of them had slowly gotten a little tipsy, Tommy called for the ninth time Todd just ignored the vibration as he had done for the past few hours,
Livingston downed another drink, and asked Todd: Is it for sale?
Todd replied: No sir, I'm not hurting for money and selling is the last thing on my mind
Livingston said: Not even for 10,000?
Todd said: lol nope I've already turned that one down,
Livingston came back with: 20,000.00
Todd looks at Zack and replied: No sir, not in the least bit interested.
Zack interrupted and said: Let’s just assume it’s not for sale. Looking at Livingston (giving him a pat on the back)
Livingston replied: I can see why you feel in love with it, it is mesmerizing after awhile, almost hypnotic.
Zack agreed and said: Says lets have another drink.
Livingston replied: I'm jealous, out of all the items I've collected in my days, I've never found anything that interesting in my life (with a subtle laugh included) they head to the bar and Todd closed the case on the Halaka to hinder anymore offers from Livingston.
Zack said: I think Todd knows how lucky he is, his uncle told me he hasn’t stopped talking about it since the day he got it, like it has a magical spell on him or something" (laughing) Todd just smiled like a possum and responded: You got that right. After several drinks and chatting endlessly about the Halaka, Todd called Kathy for a ride home. Zack and Livingston continued to chat after Todd left; Zack asked Livingston what he thought about Todd's instrument.
Livingston replied: I wish to hell he would sell it to me, I’m fascinated by the design, and the math sequence is most interesting."
Zack responded saying: Yes it is, we need something new to study, and we will have the photos after Todd lets the University photographer take photos. So it’s the next best thing to owning it.
Livingston replies: you’re right at least he's nice enough to let us photo it in detail.
Zack said; yes indeed. Livingston was tipsy and asked Zack if he could take a nap before he left, Zack of course said yes most definitely. Zack scrambled to get his friend the necessary items for the couch in the basement, Livingston was asleep before Zack returned; laughing Zack covered Livingston and slipped a pillow under his grey head of hair.
The next day talk-a lot Tommy called Zack: What the hell? Todd said ya'll offer him a million dollars and he turned them down.
Zack chuckled and responded: Tommy if I hadn’t stepped in and saved Todd, the drunken professors might have driven up the offer to a million, they really enjoyed investigating the Halaka, but Todd made it clear it was NOT for sale."
Tommy said: He’s as stubborn as a mule, if I were him I would've sold it for 10,000 on the first offer. But I guess; to each his own.
Zack responded: It is quite unique I don’t blame him for keeping it. Meanwhile back at Todd's house he and his wife Kathy were going over the Halaka with a magnifying glass and jotting down sequences, after several hours the baby girl Libby was making so much noise Todd closed the case and announced: It’s time to go to the park, Kathy agreed. Off they went for an afternoon with Libby at the park. Todd and Kathy sat on the bench watching Libby as she played on the different rides at the park talking about his next adventure out of town on another power plant, Kathy only waited for Libby to grow up so she could go with Todd on the road. She hated Todd being away from home so much, as did Todd. Tommy called for the fourth time but Todd ignored the ring, he rarely got to spend quality time with his family. Todd told Kathy that he wouldn't be working out of town too long this time; he would be back with the family soon. But still the thought of Todd being away always made Kathy sad; she told Todd she wished the economy would regain strength so he could find a good paying job close to home. Todd assured her; it will soon. After the trip to the park Todd swung by the local ice cream shop, and they headed home after a fun afternoon.
Later that night Todd was looking over the Halakah, with hundreds of digits wrote down in sequence, Todd had acquired quite a host of numbers that meant absolutely nothing to him at all. Baffled as to their meaning Todd took a break and helped Libby surf the web for a new phone cover, after finding a pretty pink zebra pr
int cover Libby cheered for joy. Todd made the purchase and decided to surf for mosaics. After reading a few pages he decided to look it up on YouTube, which was not exactly your best resource for reliable information, but nevertheless endless reading was tiresome so Todd watched a few videos about mosaics but nothing seemed to be pertinent. On the right side of the screen however was the suggested site area, where YouTube included sites that might be relevant. Todd surfed the suggested sites menu, after several videos, he stumbled across a video of archeology and mosaics. The video related the design of mosaics to that of test done with sound and frequencies, making designs out of sand on a flat piece of wood and a loud speaker below playing different notes. The sand moved into patterns as the notes changed the sand changed designs. Although no connection had been verified, it did seem interesting how the designs of the sand look very similar to the designs of the mosaics. Todd took another look at the Halaka, Todd spoke to himself; huh this is too weird.
When Kathy overheard Todd she asks: What is it?
Todd responded: Oh nothing, just more speculation. As he closed the case to the Halaka, he was tired once again he finally went to bed. As Todd slept he had a dream it was a weird dream as most were, he found himself in a cave with writings of a foreign language on the walls.
And pictures sort of like hieroglyphics looking through them all he found a picture of a harp being played by someone, the person was looking at what appeared to be a sheet of music notes, the notes on the sheet were symbols sort of like small mosaic designs and then the dream ended. The same night, he had another dream, this time he found himself in an old closed down school. He was walking through the building, he found an old man who seemed to live there. Todd asked him if he could help him find his way out of there, He felt lost with all the different hallways leading to so many different directions.
The old man said: Sure if you will follow my lead I’ll take you to where you want to go.
Todd replied: Let’s do it. However the old man walked very slow and was in no hurry whatsoever, Todd seemed to be in a bit of a hurry as most people do when lost, but it mattered not to the old man who only moved like a snail. While walking; the old man asked Todd where he was going.
Todd responded: I don’t know I’m lost. The old man said: where do you want to go?
Todd answered: Home I guess. The old man said: ok follow me.
Todd answered: Ok lol I don’t have much of a choice. The old man said to Todd: what are you looking for?
Todd responded: I don’t know.
The old man said: One is truly lost if they don’t know where they are or what they are looking for, how did you get here?
Todd responded: Sir I don’t know.
The old man said: Son you were looking for something and you got lost looking, I'm here to show you how to get back to where you were, tell you what you’re looking for and how to find it.
Todd said: Sir I sure appreciate it.
The old man replied: You are in an old school where nobody abides; you are looking for answers, right? Just then the old man stops and points to the room on the right, Todd looked inside the room, it was a music room with old instruments lying around everywhere, the chalkboard had music notes drawn on it with letters over them as one would expect to see if taking beginners course.
Todd said: This is so cool, why did all the students leave their instruments?
The old man responded: They just abandoned them like they did the school.
Todd asked: why?
The old man said: Oh someone built a new school with new instruments and the students all ran away to the new school, as he starts walking again.
Todd replied: Ok after 5 min and 13 feet, the old man stopped again and pointed to the room on the left, as Todd looked in he saw papers on the desk and letters on the chalkboard as if it were a language class, Todd turned and asked what’s this room?
The old man said: That’s where the students learned their language. He turned back and walked back to the first room and pointed into it again. Todd looked in but this time the classroom had the letters DMT on the chalkboard, and the desks had papers on them. Todd turned and the old man was walking away, following Todd asked: What was that all about? The old man said: hang on a minute, when they got back to the room they had just left, the old man pointed back into the room, Todd looked inside now this room had the instruments and the chalkboard had music notes on it. Todd looked at the old man asked: What does all this mean? The old man turned and said: come on. Now the old man was walking faster.
He told Todd: Son things on this earth appear to be something in one dimension and another in a different dimension. When we looked into the first classroom you saw through 2 dimensional eyes, when we went back you saw through 4 dimensional eyes. Nothing was moved or changed only you yourself changed them by looking at them with a different perspective.
Todd confused asked: What does all this mean? Approaching a doorway leading outside the old man turned and looked at him. Todd astonished asked: Sir how did you do that? You look like you are my age now.
The old man now young replied: Son we are not at all what we seem, this time you looked at me with 4th dimensional eyesight, the first time you looked at me with 2 dimensional eyesight you chose which dimension to look at me, as in the rooms. I did nothing to change anything here its merely the way things are, and there’s a whole lot more where that came from, if you ever decide to come back; as he points to the outside insinuating the way home. Todd said: Wait a minute please, I don't want to leave; I want you to tell me more. The old now young man replied: Son there is plenty of time for you to learn as I am older than the dirt this school is built on, you come back and see me when you're ready, we will talk more then.
Todd replied: Sir thank you so for your kindness, I want to come back I'll be back as soon as I can if I can find this place again. The old now young man said: You know your way somewhat now, I'll be here when you come back, if you get lost I'll direct you again. Then Todd bowed to the old now young man and when he raised his head the old now young man had disappeared, but Todd heard his voice drifting away saying you are in the school of Melchezidec. Then as Todd turned he woke up.
In the days that followed Todd was studying the Halaka, constantly counting and recording sequences, every once and awhile he tried to play the instrument. But for some reason he noticed blurring in his vision when the Halaka made a sound. He didn’t know why his vision was blurry he had better than average eyesight. On Tuesday Todd took the Halaka to the University in North Carolina for photographs. Once the Dean got wind that Todd had arrived he was making his way to the lab where the photos were being taken, suddenly all the professors that were at Zacks house had appeared in the photo lab, as if a major event was taking place. The Dean was most observant to the aspiration of the professors. He asked Todd to entertain the professors with another look at the Halaka before he left. Once again the collaboration between the professors’ reached a utopia when the bell sounded the whole gang wrapped up the discussion as if they all had a habitual subconscious thinking it was time to go! Todd hastily closed the case to the Halaka and headed out the door, when Dean Schneider thanked Todd for bringing in the instrument for photos. Todd replied; ‘’nodding his head’’ The pleasure is all mine, Thank You.
Nearly two months went by with Todd obsessing over the numbers in the mosaic, when one day he received a call from UNC, the Dr. Mathews told Todd he had obtained a passion with the photos at the University and wondered if he could come by and have a look in person at the instrument, with no objection Todd invited him over at his convenience. The following afternoon Dr. Mathews arrived with his camera, he told Todd: The photographer took good photos for someone looking at an instrument, but not close eno
ugh to clearly make out the order of the mosaic, he and the other professors have been chatting about over coffee. I've heard that you noticed a peculiar order of colors and sequences. Todd replied: Yes and it’s about to drive me crazy Dr. Mathews said he knew the feeling as he had always had an obsession for astronomy, where there’s no end to research. Upon closely viewing the Halaka Dr. Mathews told Todd: It is definitely a Jewish mosaic design. Todd told the Professor he’s recorded several sequences but had no idea if or what it could mean. The Doctor replied: In mosaics you have to have a proper sequence or the final picture of the mosaic will not look right. Todd shrugging agreed to some extent, nodding his head. The Dr. told him: However I do see what you mean about the colors of the very small pieces, not really playing a big role in the overall look. Nor do they really need to be used in the type mosaic that was made. Maybe the person didn’t have enough ivory pieces so he used colored pieces to make up for the lack of white ivory. Todd again shook his head to agree; anything could be possible Todd replied...the Dr. said: I won’t take up anymore of your time; I've got plenty of close-ups now we can have something to clearly look at while chatting over coffee at the University. Todd told him: Thank you for coming by. The Dr. said: No Thank You, this Halaka has been the talk of the school since professor Zack first told us about it. Then when some of the other professors saw it, it really has been a fuss. Shaking Todd’s hand and thanking him once again the Dr. is on his way.
Todd closed the door; spoke to himself; something tells me there’s more to this color sequence than just a coincidence. How could someone spend this much time to make such a beautiful mosaic, run out of white chips? It just doesn't make since. Again he was looking and counting and recording the sequences. Kathy came in and asked how things went with the Dr. Mathews? Todd replied: It went well, but he doesn't seem to know anything pertinent, just curious like the rest of us. Todd got online to learn more about mosaics, surprisingly there wasn’t much about them other than pictures. The sources weren’t much more than convoluted, as if there was some big secret or either nobody knows much about them. Remembering the conversation he had with the old boss about how the Egyptians of old just disappeared into thin air, and nobody around them knew how to decipher the hieroglyphics, he thought maybe it is possible that not much information is known about them, other than they are highly complicated geometric tessellations. Either way another obvious waste of time and Todd was getting aggravated with the mosaic inlay altogether. He decided it was time to take a break.
Two nights later, when Todd fell asleep he started to dream, he was wondering through a beautiful tropical forest. When he came to an open field he saw a huge castle, he made his way to the castle where he crossed a bridge. Once in the middle of the bridge, a woman appeared in the distance in the fog drifting up from the water below. Who when close she took his hand and walked him inside to a library as big as a city, he asked her: Where am I? She told him: You are at the school of Melchezidec. My name is Eyavahna; you have been searching endlessly, and have caught the attention of the appointed angel who looks over this corner of the earth. Since you have chosen to try to keep the commandments and constant repentance, you have been found worthy to know the hidden wisdom.
Todd asked her: What have I been searching for?
She replied: For the same answers everyone wants to know, but they have not lived a life of charity and love for the Creator, and kept his Commandments, so they will not partake of the tree of knowledge. Nor eat of the tree of life.
Todd asked: Wait I thought the tree of knowledge was off limits.
She replied: It is to those that don’t keep his commandments, so is the tree of life.
Todd asked; why was it off limits to Adam and Eve? she replied: There was no knowledge to know at the time of their arrival, the Creator provided all things for them, they had no need for knowledge only obedience, but Eve didn’t like being separated from Adam at night, all the male animals slept on the east side of the garden with Adam, and the females all slept on the west side of the garden with Eve.
When the serpent approached Eve he played on her emotions and her love for Adam, telling her if she ate from the forbidden fruit, she would not have to sleep away from Adam anymore, ironically he didn’t lie when he said that. When they were kicked out of the garden, she slept with Adam every night afterwards. Once they had eaten of the tree of knowledge they fornicated and corrupted all the animals in the same instance, immediately afterwards they covered themselves with leaves. Not only were they ejected from the garden, all the animals were also. They as well fornicated upon seeing Adam and Eve doing the intimate deeds of fornication.
Todd asked her for her name again, and she told him; Eyavahna. Todd asked her: Why is there only one book in a library of this size? She replied: Mortals only need one book; this book is merely a test go ahead see for yourself. Todd opened the book but there are only two pages inside the book,
One page has; we us our are is is am am art art even even"
The other page has; them they their were was is is, is as as as our our our art art art are are are odd.
She told Todd: This is a two edged sword and the blind only see one edge, what did you see?
Todd replied: I saw two.
She asked Todd: Which do you understand?
Todd replied: Both,
She said: Souls that have walked the earth and have seen the light, see both edges. They have tasted of the tree of knowledge. Souls that have not seen the light but may have tasted of the tree of knowledge only see one side."
She then took Todd by the wrist and walked him to another room where the walls and ceiling have a panoramic view of the universe,
She pointed to a constellation called Ursa Minor, there abides more living being inhabitants, they are far more advanced in common knowledge than the beings on earth. They came from earth as beings and found their way to a planet that circles the sun known as Polaris.
Todd asked: How did they get to that planet?
She told him: They had eaten from the tree of knowledge and saw the light, then found a way to travel through the universe.
Todd asked her: What do you mean? She replied: There are thousands of planets through the universes that inhabit living beings some of which are less advanced technologically and some are more advanced. As she pointed to other constellations she pinpointed in particular and zoomed in on a certain constellation called perseus here is a major intergalactic crossroad like a major airport on earth, only its’ much bigger than you can imagine. Todd asked her: Please tell me how they travel. She told Todd: I can guide you in the right direction, I can give you small amounts of knowledge, but you will have to take each bite and digest it slowly, as too much knowledge at once is a counterproductive and causes lack of balance, with knowledge must come understanding as well. Too much knowledge without understanding is as bad as no knowledge at all. So we will take this slow and you will understand all that you learn. Todd then asked her what part of what she told him did he not understand; that would cause her to stop answering his questions.
She replied: As with anything going into a body it must have time to digest. Or else risk harm due to overload.
At this moment Todd woke up. Frustrated Todd tried to fall back asleep as soon as possible but to no avail. Todd got up and wrote down everything he could remember. The next day Todd was reading over his notes from his dreams, and he scratched his head and thought; (if she doesn’t explain to me how they travel I'll never figure it out alone, then he thought well that’s just like a dream, be so interesting but just when it gets good it ends.)
He was curious about the names of the constellations she spoke of; he had no knowledge of astronomy whatsoever. So he decided to look them up on the internet and sure enough they were spelled different than Todd thought, but there they were just like the dream. He got cold chills and threw down the paper and ran to tell his wife about the craziness. Kathy as usual ju
st looked at him like he was crazy, because she couldn’t even remember her dreams much less believe anything can come of them. But she did believe in psychics. Todd laughed at her when she was all involved in her TV shows about psychics talking to the dead. But Todd had second guessed himself after talking to people in his sleep. But there’s no way Todd would believe in those fake psychics out to make money. Todd wondered back to his couch and thought about all the stuff that had been going on. Kathy came into the room and looked at Todd and told him he looked stressed out.
Todd replied: I feel like every since the day I stroked the strings on that Halaka the first time, it has had a curse on me. I can’t find any real answers but I feel like there are answers to be found. I'm not sure why.
