Part of the conversation by the team in the Earth ship went this way:
“We are greatly privileged to be chosen to observe this event,” Eldon stated resolutely.“
"I’m glad we could see it together,” Salena responded. “But something should be happening by now, right?”
Eldon looked closely at his panels as he answered,
“Yes, I think . . . soon because surface temps have risen. The last nuclear fuel of Elaemaas is being spent. It should supernova anytime now.”
“Why do you think the Celestions told us about this?” Salena asked.
“They want us to learn something, I suppose. They are like tour guides of time and space.” Then in a skeptical tone Salena speculated,
“Hmmm,I wonder. They are so mysterious. Maybe they just want to observe us, like in some kind of test.”
“They probably have, many times. If so, there is nothing we could do about it. But I don’t think they are malevolent. They could have destroyed us anytime.”
“I have a bad feeling,” Salena admitted now. Her extra sense was getting a warning. Eldon knew to take her feelings and premonitions seriously.
“Do you feel that something bad will happen?” he asked.
“I don’t know. I have never felt like this before.” She thought a moment and asked, “This has never happened before, so we don’t know what to expect do we?”
“We expect a very bright light and then a view of a new star. But I must admit I don’t like the reference to ‘unusual effects’ that was not explained.”
Within an hour later, a beep alarm sounded. Eldon turned to see what it was. “Energy levels spiking across the board. This is it. Light shields up!”
The star Elaemaas got brighter by the second. This is what they were waiting for. From this point on the light intensified rapidly. It was a spectacular supernova – the first part of the metanova. The final hours of a star, saying goodbye in a great burnout to be seen for thousands of light years. As the light gradually lessened, it was no less amazing. Finally the outline of a new star could be seen in the same space. This one was different. A totally new star had boldly entered our space from another dimension. A normal supernova would leave a dark shell, a dead star. This was a bright new star glowing with a greenish light and getting brighter by the hour. The metanova had occurred just as the Celestions had said.
This awesome event was completed within a period of about 20 solar hours. During this whole event the majority of observers did not notice any ‘unusual’ effects. There were only a few that did notice. Some of the observers, in 3 ships, were transformed momentarily at the beginning of the metanova. They winked out of our space for no more than a second of time in this space. The others, being fixed on the exploding star, did not see that happen to them. But in that instant they had been changed forever. One of those ships was the one from Earth.
The following is a feeble attempt at describing what Eldon experienced in that instant. Mere words of his language are inadequate to convey it since this place or experience is totally new and untouched territory. His first feeling at the start of the supernova, was that this was an event from the past that he was reliving. When the metanova reached its peak brightness, Eldon knew something strange had happened to him because he could now see the exploding star from all angles – at once – something impossible for an Ibee.
He was no longer in the ship, but had a higher, superior vantage point if you will. Then he knew that somehow he had been transferred to a place outside of time and space.
All the light from the metanova washed over him; no longer Eldon, but a new starchild privileged to see this, was born; and feeling the light as part of him since he was light now. He was on an interstellar pendulum swinging through the old nova star and into the new one, then back out. Each swing of the pendulum being several hundred million years. He could count every pulse, see how they are made up of radiated beams, and see how the beams are generated by nuclear reactions throughout the star’s life of aeons. The child swinging in time – a dimension of illusion – back and forth on the swing looking at the sunlight through the trees, saw starlight from then til now. But when was now? Time did not exist now.
He could see the barrier between the dying star and the new one – the doorway from death to life, from the end to the beginning. And it was a shift or transformation every time he passed through it.
He was aware that Salena was there too, but they were experiencing it separately in their own reality. The consciousness of each one who had been transformed and transferred to this timeless realm was felt and recognized as faces fading in and out of view. It was their faces as they remembered them from the former existence at first, then as thoughts, ideas, the intangible core energy of their psyche. These may be described as shining gems of various shapes, colors, patterns and so forth – qualities unique to each personality.
How this had happened to these observers was now fully known to them. To explain briefly and simply, they were knocked out of their dimension of space into a transition state or an inbetween place. When the metanova reached its peak energy, when Elaemaas exploded and the new star arrived, which was later called Elaemara, it sent out dimensional energy waves which distorted space time. These waves hit the 3 ships and caused them to be displaced momentarily. Of course, to the people in those ships, it was no momentary feeling at all. The energy that hit them was generated at the peak energy of the metanova and went out faster than light in different directions. Their winking out happened at the instant of the change from the old star to the new one. If anyone would have seen the winking out of the ships, it would have appeared to be at the beginning of the metanova be-cause of visible light taking several hours to reach the ships.
More of what Eldon experienced is as follows. He found himself walking up a long stairway, the top of which he could not even see. Then he realized he had something on his head. It was a tray with a cup of red liquid on it. He was balancing it on his head by holding the edge of it with one hand. In the other hand he was holding a burning candle to light the steps because it was dark most of the time. There were flashes of light that lighted the stairs off and on. During those flashes he could see that the stairs went on indefinitely – up, down, and to the sides. There was no end in sight. It was unknown how long he had been there or the passage of time between what sounded like crashes. The crashes, he realized were the trays of others like him walking upward trying to balance their trays and dropping them, spilling the liquid. He thought he saw red stains on the steps and wondered if they were from others before him or from times he himself dropped the liquid and had to start over. He knew that he could not reach the top if he spilled what was in the cup, so he continued, step by step. And as he got higher he could hear better the sound of a chorus of singers, quite beautiful. Somehow he also knew that when he reached the top that he could drink what was in the cup and he would be refreshed.
Another thing he experienced in this timeless place between dimensions was a part of another person’s life. He was a young father with his wife and newborn baby son in a dark dismal place. Because he had no home of his own, he was forced to shelter his family in this below ground room in a huge metropolitan area. He and his wife called it ‘the dungeon.’ While he and his family slept at night, trolls who lived upstairs came down into their living area. They took a rare old book of his. They could not read but wanted to try to get money for it so they could buy drugs. They would do anything to satisfy their enslaving compulsion for an unreality. Eldon knew these were real people, a real time and place, and felt so helpless and vulnerable. He could do nothing for them.
He experienced another chapter in their life now. They were living in another place that they called ‘the little cold room.’ The walls were bright white and frozen, like they were inside a giant ice cube. His wife was trying her best to keep their infant warm by keeping him
wrapped and close to her. A friend brought them a small heater. This at least gave a little warmth in this severe environment. But then the owner of the house knocked on their door. She had black eyes and black teeth and no heart. She had plenty of heat in her part of the house, but disapproved of a heater in the little cold room. She argued with the man and his wife at the door. The wife kicked over the heater in anger while holding her baby. She turned her back on the owner and started to walk away. The owner’s eyes suddenly turned fire red and she tried to jump on the man’s wife from behind. The husband blocked her just in time to stop her from doing some kind of bodily harm to his wife and baby.
Eldon knew this really happened somewhere. He suspected that it was on the fabled Rainbow Earth and that that man was his counterpart in some way. In a way it was like looking in a mirror – a mirror that revealed what was inside him. These experiences were a part of him and not just from an outside source. The netherworld he was in, this space between dimensions was drawing and manifesting them in his consciousness.
Finally he saw himself as a tiny worm trying to maneuver in a trunk of a huge tree. This he knew represented something in his life if not his life as a whole. Perhaps it referred to something in his future.
Eldon, Salena and the others that were winked out or were sent to this non-time, non-material place did not know if it was an accident or by design. But they felt the presence of the Celestions. They could see themselves there as they do. Eldon did receive a message or an impression of a sort from them. They basically gave him the impression that they appreciate his work as a Singsord and to ‘keep searching’ for the Source.
The metanova reached its peak, the new star was born, and eternity had been glimpsed. Still awestruck and trembling, Eldon and Salena switched off their recording instruments now. Being returned to their ship in their dimension at the height of the event was done by the Celestions. Each had gained extra-Ibee insight into themselves and the universe. Their place and purpose in the grand scheme became much more clear by this experience that transcended time and space. What now?
They did not talk much on their return to Earth. It was only some weeks later that they were able to talk about the ‘unusual effects’ even to each other. Salena’s experience was somewhat different than Eldon’s. She told him she saw many beautiful things. But by far the most beautiful she has seen is the sunset on the ocean on Earth.
“I have enjoyed serving as a Singsord with you, Eldon. I’ve seen so much . . enough for a thousand lifetimes. It is enough for me. I want to stop and stay on Earth for the remaining of my life. If you want to continue searching, I will understand.” Eldon was impressed with her straight-forward honesty, but did feel a little disappointed.
“That sounds like a good decision. I will consider it myself.”
They sat close . . . the surf rolled . . . the stars appeared.
