The next morning Jonathan awoke and when he looked at his phone to see what time it was there was a message from Dahlia. It read “wear your desert sandals.” He started laughing and couldn’t stop. It was a sign of his breakthrough. Like a huge weight had been lifted.

“Pete, I think I’ve finally gotten some direction and I have a life now. I like my new boss. I was able to sleep in, but I’m going to be late if I don’t get going right now.”

Jonathan went into the bathroom and as he reached for the shower handle to turn the water on something drew his attention down.

“What is this in my shower? Pete! Your collection of lizard tails and feathers don’t go here. Why do you bring them in here? Pete slithered around the doorway and jumped on the toilet seat and watched as Jonathan wiped the feathers off the tiles. “I’ll see it here sooner than on the front porch, I suppose. I know this is a cat thing, but you don’t have to make this display. I’m very proud of you, and do you see any competition around here for man’s best friend? Actually, I need to clue you guys in on something. These mutilated trophies you leave around for your owners to find — it’s actually working against you. It’s like shrunken heads. Most of us just aren’t on that frequency. We’ll have to come up with some kind of answer that works for both of us so you can feel good about yourself and I’m not stepping on someone’s tail in the mornings. Go get breakfast. I already put it out for you.”

Pete left the room as Jonathan hurried to get ready.

Jonathan had many dreams. Opening a restaurant was on the list somewhere. He made two of his favorite ‘omelette surprises’ and wrapped them in wax paper, then foil, which he folded into packets. He put them in a bag with two forks.

As he opened the door to leave and let Fantasy in, who was always waiting patiently outside the door, he remembered he had a treat for them. He went back into the kitchen to the cupboard where the new toys laid hidden and setting them together on the couch made his way to the front door.

“Pete, I’m going to be late coming home again,” he announced. “I want you to be extra nice to Fantasy. She gets her pick of the window sills.” He opened the door and it was another beautiful Southern California day.

He walked down the sidewalk looking around and thinking about the strings attached to everyone and everything. With his new eyes the world had become a different place. He entered the coffee shop and found Dahlia at a table in the corner writing in a notebook.

“Desert sandals?”

“Yes, The Palace of the Nine is being built in a hanger out in the desert. Actually, it’s done and they began filming with it this morning.” I thought of some things and I’ve been making some notes so I don’t forget to tell them to Manny. I don’t know who needs to know what. He is my link to all the departments. What’s in the bag?”

“I made us omelettes to have with our tea.”

“Wonderful. Thank you.” Dahlia unfolded the foil and turned the edges back molding it into a perfect plate and cut into the omelette. I see spinach and mushrooms.”

“There’s garlic too. I cook everything in a olive oil. Take a bite.”

“Yum! This is so good. Love the touch of cheddar on top.How did you learn to cook like this?”

“Somehow as part of the path I knew I needed to eat healthy so I got a part time job at a restaurant that used natural ingredients.”

“Smart. Very smart.”

“I’ve noticed you’re a health nut too. What got you started?”

“For health reasons I was drafted into it. It was ‘eat healthy or die.’ Then when I read about the diet of other mystics I realized that eating that way had become who I was because it’s the way of the Path. Do you know the part in the First Book of Tahl where people had to wash before they could enter the Temple. The translation for that ceremony now is by another way the world will become one. Everyone will be eating this way to become high priests. The clearer speaking will only come into purified vessels. Everyone has to clean their bodies of toxins and parasites in order to reach the spiritual Holy of Holies, the flow of positive combinations of words that will come out of the Fountain in the middle of the Palace. There are many hoops to jump through or you won’t even be able to step onto the Palace property. If the priest wasn’t pure, he died when he entered the Holy of Holies and they dragged him out by a rope they had tied around his waist before he went in not knowing if he would survive. We don’t literally die. We just keep getting dragged back to some pit in Tormen until we get it right.”

“So that’s what I’ve been doing.”
“Yeah. You have to help build the place so you’ve got to get cleaned up so you can handle the higher frequency. Let’s get going. I need to explain something to you on the way before we get to the location. Did you bring a journal?”

“Yes, I’ll always be ready. My car is in front. If you drive, I can take notes. I was wondering if we could talk about the movie before we get there.”

“That was what I was going to do. Our minds must be synced. I was told by a student writer that you need to say what your book is about in one sentence. I was reading a quantum physics book on the secret of attracting the life you. It instructs you to figure out what unique thing you have to sell the world and package it. I knew that my gift was my movie and saw that I was going to have to sell it to someone in the film industry. I remembered what the writer had told me and saw that I needed to be able to do a short one or two sentence presentation. I thought about it and would write one down. I’d think some more and it would evolve and it kept evolving until I saw more clearly what the movie was. Quantum physics is the paradigm we are in now. One of the practical exercises in quantum physics is to have vision board. He explains in the book that you have to feel what you are envisioning. He was so creative in his suggestions as to how to do this and suddenly I realized that my book was my make-believe vision board of my future. I was being an observer, envisioning what I wanted, being very detailed and passionate. What I had been doing was exactly how this book described vision boards. This revelation blew the doors open. Anyone who is up to speed in the evolutionary world knows we still have too many unanswered questions and another paradigm is needed. I could see the audiences watching the movie, and the teachings getting into them, and my vision board becoming theirs. Then came the sentence: The movie is a global quantum physics vision board with the teachings of the next paradigm including the instructions on how to change earth from Tormen into Enchantra.

“This is the place. There’s Manny waiting as always. He’s so great. We can talk about this more later. By the way Jonathan, you’re the only one who knows the teachings came to me from Tahl. Everyone here today that you will be meeting thinks it’s just one of a million alternate realities we can make up. They are all evolving during the course of the making the movie. And they are going to hear the teaching that the part of quantum physics that says all possibilities are happening at once is incorrect. They teach that nothing is predetermined and it’s all up to the moment you are in what will happen. That’s incorrect combinations of words. A baby is formed in a mother’s womb according to a program. Everything is happening according to a program. We need to shift to the technical language and see that Tahl is a living computer running on programs. There is a very specific plan in the Nucleus of the Universe and only that one thing can happen and it is going to save mankind. Our thought-feelings make the programs run. They’ve been making the negative programs run and now our brains need to be downloaded with the truth so we can run the program to get us out of Tormen and into Enchantra. As each person working on this is ready, one by one, a light bulb will go off and they will figure it out – that what’s going in the movie is not make-believe but what’s really going on… minus the special effects.”

Manny opened Dahlia’s door and Michael got out on his side.

“Hi, Manny!” Dahlia said as she stepped out.

“Hi, Dahlia!”

“This is my architect friend, Jonathan,” Dahlia said looking over at Jonathan.

“We like architects around here! Welcome, Jonathan. You must be someone special to know this special lady.”

“Thank you,” Jonathan said, “Yes, I am.”

Dahlia handed Manny a piece of paper, “Jonathan and I went to Germany to see Neuschwanstein Castle. There some things that were missing on the holodeck tour. These are the notes. If you have any questions about them, let me know.”

Manny was clearly excited, “That’s great! I’ll get on it right away. Jonathan, it was nice to meet you. I have to run. Have fun today. What we’re doing now is the real greatest show on earth, the culmination of the the best of the best. Please feel free to express any your expertise to the project. Dahlia will get it to me.”

Dahlia lead Jonathan towards the back of the lot. “We’re going into ‘the before’ hanger and then I’ll take you to ‘the after’ one that’s next to it.”

They reached the opening and stepped into the hanger. It was as big as a football field and in the center was what looked like a huge pool with islands in the middle.

Dahlia pointed to one of the corners. “Over here you can see the model we used of the property when it was still covered with ice. Global warming uncovers it and the map, a birthmark on the Queen’s lower back leads men to find it”.

They walked up to the edge of the pool. Dahlia continued the story, “One of the Kings has a highly developed gift of being able to feel energy. He walks on the middle island where the Palace is supposed to be built and finds the location where the energy is strongest. It is the location where the central tower with the Fountain is built. The Palace is built in the order that a quilt if stitched together,starting at the center. The Queen is given the instructions by Tahl as needed to the builders and artisans just like He spoke to Noah when building the Ark and to Solomon when the Temple was being built. Let’s go to ‘the after’ hanger next door now.”

As they entered the second hanger Jonathan couldn’t believe what he was seeing. There stood a Palace like nothing he’d ever seen anywhere, real or make- believe. The hanger was full of filming equipment and people everywhere running around the breathtaking structure.

“It has taken more people to make this miniature than any other in the history of filmmaking. We’re breaking a few records financially but the producer has been keeping the investors happy. He’s set up meetings every month and brought a DVD to give them a taste of what’s going on. It’s blowing everyone away. We’re trying to be as secretive as possible so it can have a big impact. But it’s all they can do to not tell anyone. They were able to build a much bigger miniature than they thought they would be able to because we found these huge hangers. So this has allowed them to be much more detailed. It’s incredible what they’ve thought of. The larger the team grew, the better it kept getting because each individual’s talent was being inspired by even more gifted minds interacting with one another.

“I’ve learned that they film things out of order. There are full size parts of the Palace in a lot behind this building where they’ve been filming for months. Now that this is done, they are able to get the wider shots they need that will be stuck in different places throughout the end of the movie. They have to be done in a week to hit the deadline and they are going a little crazy making sure they have everything for the editors. At least it’s all here in this desert and not spread all over the globe like some movies are done.

“Let’s go to the editor’s room. I want you to see some of the filming.”

The ‘after’ hanger had offices on an upper level that you reached by a stairway. Dahlia and Jonathan passed by several offices making their way to the editor’s room. It was huge with several dozen work areas. A man in a Neuschwanstein Castle servant’s costume stood up from his chair and came up to them.

“Jared, this is Jonathan. Jonathan this is Jared, the chief supervisor in this department, and it looks like he must be doubling as an actor today.”

Jonathan reached out his hand, “I’m very pleased to meet you. You were in a Neuschwanstein scene?”

Jared shook his hand, “I am please to meet you as well. Yes, it was Dahlia’s idea to have every member of the crew made a cameo appearance in the film. It’s been fun. But the cameo idea made our job in here harder because we have to make sure their scene isn’t cut”.

“Jared, is there a DVD of some of the scenes I can show to Jonathan?

Jared smiled fondly and bowed, “Of course Queen Dahlia. Your wish is my command.

Dahlia was honored and embarrassed.”Ok, enough of that!” she chided.

Jared turned to his desk behind him and picked up a disk and handed it to her. If you need anything else Your Highness, let me know.”

“Hush you!” she scolded again.

Dahlia lead Jonathan into a small theater room. She loaded the DVD. I want to find my favorite scene. It has all eight Kings and the Queen.”

“I never asked you about the ‘Nine.’ Who are they?”

“Nine people who pass through the darkest of the dark nights because they need to be extremely powerful and strong and have the capacity for a lot and the ability to handle the strongest energy. Tahl is mostly male but His female part is the most powerful and the only part that can handle the strength at the source of the flow where the Fountain is. In order for anyone else to be able to get the flow from the Fountain, it has to come through her. Tahl is five. The human Queen is the most like Tahl in terms of being like Him and the four of the eight human Kings located right next to her are more Tahl than everyone else. All humans are co-tahls with a function as part of His being. The four higher Kings  have been through the next most difficult processing to be able the handle the intensity of the flow coming out of Her. They send it out to the four corners of the earth through the four lower Kings who have a special connection to the higher Kings. They are the ones who went through the highest processing a co-tahl could survive. Just like the pattern of the pyramids, it goes from the co-tahl Kings to the eight around them, then it flows to the sixteen around them, then to the thirty two and on it spreads. Our locations on the Palace property are numbered 1 to 1089 and physically the pattern makes a perfect square. The 1089 locations are a very high frequency. As Enchantra spreads to the next surrounding locations the higher frequency is not as strong. From the Palace, Enchantra spreads to the Islands of Palace City and then continues to whomever has the greatest capacity down to the least until the whole earth is fed.

“There it is. This is the most beautiful scene in the movie. Tahl has just taken His paintbrush out of the sparkle bottle and waved it like a magic wand transferring the property into Enchantra and the Palace is now covered with jewels. Everyone is gorgeous in Enchantra but the more you have been through, the more beautiful. Look at the Queen and Kings. The costume department and make-up artists out did themselves. What is so incredible is that this doesn’t even come close to how it will really be when it really happens. There’s going to be some pretty wild modifications done to our optic nerves. Our new eyes are going to see in a new way we won’t be able to describe until it’s happening to us.

“It’s going to be dark soon. We’re going to have dinner with the director and some of the cast. I hope you like dinner theaters.” She laughs.
