style="font-family: arial;">I hear Chloe get up, but I go back to sleep for a little while.  My sleep, as it were, is really a series of short naps.  Im up and showering and dressing by 7:30.    I make some coffee, enough for Huguette if she wants and I have a small dish of plain yogurt with a bit of honey mixed in.   I assess my mental state and find Im a bit anxious.<br/><br/>Around 9 AM, Huguette comes out of the guest room, looking refreshed and rested.  Not a trace of a long trans-Atlantic flight to mar her pretty face.<br/><br/>She seems to be assessing me, physically.  I have no doubt that she and Chloe have shared my history.  I know, that Huguette knows, exactly who I was.  Still, this doesnt impose itself on our 'breakfast chat' and getting to know each other a little bit better.   When she asks if Im ready to start immersing myself in the knowledge of the ages, I smile and emphatically tell her yes!<br/><br/>"Very good.....please join me in my room in two minutes"  and with that she smiles and leaves the kitchen.  I tidy up as best as I can in 120 seconds.  One does not want to be late when the 'commute' is only 10 seconds!<br/><br/>When I enter the room, it resembles the living room from last night.  A small table with a single unlit candle, two mats for kneeling, and Huguette is wearing the white woolen robe she wore last night.  She invites me to kneel and I do so immediately.   She looks at me and begins:<br/><br/>"Our lessons will begin with learning how to communicate.  You observed Chloe and I last night.  Not a single work was spoken, yet we communicated volumes.  Our minds linked, for lack of a better term.  In our way, each mind opens to the other person, and thoughts, ideas and impressions are communicated.  Not all you mind is open, however.  There are parts that you can hold to yourself and not share.  And while this will be kept to you alone, your partner will see the areas where she cannot go"<br/><br/>"So if you and I are linked, I might see an impasse, somewhere where I cannot go, I will know you have held something, anything from me.  It could be an intimate scene, a recipe, a memory of a pet...or something you do not want to share with me....it all falls into that impenetrable area"<br/><br/>I nod in understanding as Huguette continues:<br/><br/>"I saw you on the fringe of Chloe and my conversation last night.  You were there briefly and weakly.  But it was  a most encouraging start.   I know who you are Kimmie, I've seen Kevin and I see Kimmie too.  You already know this, but Kevin is gone.  Kimmie is who you are.  And that, along with your ability to try to reach out to us was most encouraging.  I didnt know if you would have any skill in this area at all.  Happily you do....."<br/><br/>Huguette explains that my concentration point was wrong.  While the candle was a good thing to try to attend to, I am clearly a 'water' person.  Each element: Wind, Earth, Fire, and Water has a hold on person, or more correctly constitutes the basic dominant element.  All elements are compatible, its just that each of us has a key element.  She suggests that for me to reach the level to be able to communicate, instead of concentrating on the flame, I should concentrate on water....vast, open, expanses of deep water.....She places a small dish on the table and fills it with water.<br/><br/>I stare at it....and stare at it......for how long I dont know....nothing is happening......then it dawns on me....the nothing has returned....I hear no extranious sounds....nothing at all....there is a peace descended over me........When I hear Huguette say:<br/><br/>"Welcome little one"  I jump.   I almost lose the 'nothing'....I focus on a vast, calm ocean at sunset, and she returns.<br/><br/>"Im glad you arrived.  It took a little longer than expected....but we each walk at our own pace.   Please relax....I can see into parts of your mind....we are communicating.   I will know place a thought in your mind.....tell me what you see"<br/><br/><em>"A cardinal....a brilliant red cardinal...."</em><br/><br/>"Yes Kimmie.....and now we will begin our lessons....."<br/><br/>I am told the story of creation....of the Goddess....the turtle on whose back we ride.   I am told it 7 times.  Each recounting adds a bit of depth to certain parts of the story.   In the end, I have a full picture of who the Sisterhood is, and where they came from.  I not only feel enlightened, but exhilirated as well.....<br/>"We are done for today, child....now you will end our conversation....think of your water image....then put it down.   You will be where we started?"<br/><br/>In a moment, I am back in the guest room.  I am sitting, not kneeling....I have no idea of the time.<br/><br/>"We will never go this long without a rest, Kimmie.  I needed to not only establish a link to you, but to strengthen it.  This has been done.  For now, I am the only one you can share thoughts with.  In time we will show you how to add others to this circle.  For now, please drink some water, refresh and relax.  Chloe has contacted us, and I will tell her to come home....all is well.....you must rest a bit....you have done a lot today.....and you have done very, very well.   As you rest, reflect on what knowledge has been passed to you.  It is the key for all that we do and all that is to come."<br/><br/>Stiffly, I get up and go sit on the couch.....I drink some water slowly....I ponder what has happened and what I have learned.....I cant believe the entire day passed by in what seems like a half hour......<br/></span><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
