He stirred slightly and opened his eyes.
Philip, are you okay?
Yeah, he said, trying to move, but wincing in pain. I m
all right.
A few kids started to gather. At last Becka was able to move.
Philip, I m so sorry. I don t know

The Guardian
Krissi spun around at her. Stay away! she ordered. Get
back.
The command shocked Becka, and she came to a stop.
Krissi, Ryan tried to reason, it was an accident. Becka
didn t
Yes, she did. No one moved. Krissi s voice grew louder and
more shrill. She knew exactly what she was doing! To prove
her point, she dug into her handbag and pulled out a folded piece
of paper. The very paper she had written the night before. See
for yourself.
Becka looked on as Ryan took the paper, unfolded it, and
read. More kids gathered as Krissi continued her accusation. It
told me you were dangerous! she shouted. It told me your jeal-
ousy would try to stop us!
Becka started toward her again. Kriss
Stay away!
By now a sizable group of kids had gathered. Becka could feel
her face and ears growing hot under their questioning stares.

It was 2:15 in the afternoon. Once again, Julie entered the crystal.
But it wasn t really the crystal. Now she understood that the crys-
tal was merely a tool, a way of clearing her mind. She knew she was
actually back home. Her folks had picked her up from the hospital
earlier that morning, and now she was back in her own bedroom,
in her own bed. At least that s where her body was.
Her mind was someplace else.
At the moment it was striving for another level. Summoning
her angel was much easier now. She d been practicing off and on
throughout the night, all morning, and into the afternoon. One
thing you could say about Julie Mitchell, she was determined.
Her angel, her guardian, was as good a teacher as she was a
pupil. Already he had helped her understand the futility of the

physical. Of course, her parents had protested when she refused
to brush her hair or eat either breakfast or lunch. But how could
they be expected to understand? After all, they were limited to
earthly thinking. They had no idea of the great spiritual level to
which Julie was evolving. They had no idea that food, clothes,
and appearances were merely vain endeavors, earthly weights

designed to hamper her evolution to the higher dimension.
Each time Julie approached that dimension, her guardian
embraced her with the same warm, accepting light. And each
time he gently but firmly encouraged her to give more and more
of herself over to that light. Soon she would be able to merge
with it. Soon she would become one with the guardian, one with
creation, one with God himself.
As she entered the guardian s presence, she felt his light wash
over her. Only this time she felt something else. She couldn t put
her finger on it, but it almost felt like . . . sadness.
Have I done something wrong? she thought.
The guardian glowed and shimmered before her. Perhaps we
are moving too quickly.
No . . . this is what I want. She moved closer. You promised me.
You said I d soon be joining your level.
And so you should, except . . .
Tell me. What s wrong?
You have been called to a great purpose, this is true. We
had hoped for your transcendence to be this very day.
Transcendence ?
Your entrance into our level.
Julie s heart leaped. This is what she had been waiting for,
this is what she had been working for.
But we are moving too fast . . .
Why? What s the problem? Is it my taking a shower? I know you
said to forget the physical, but I mean, it s only a shower, and the
soap, I know it was perfumed, but
No!

The Guardian
The thought cut her off with an intensity she hadn t felt
before. Apparently, even angels could get frustrated. She waited,
almost breathlessly, as the frustration rippled through the light
around her and slowly faded.
Finally the creature spoke again. It is your friend. The one
with the dark emotions.
Who?
The follower of religion.
You mean Becka? Are you talking about Rebecca Williams?
She felt another wave of frustration, more intense than the
last, and she frowned. This was more than frustration. It was . . .
anger. Intense, searing anger. And it frightened her.
Her ways will contaminate you.
Julie frowned. But she s a Chris tian. She s the one who
I know who she is, the thought interrupted. But her ways
are not ours. She clings to obsolete thinking. Her narrow-

mindedness hinders your progress. Her presence will prevent
you from reaching and maintaining the god consciousness.
God consciousness?
Oneness with god.
Julie s mind raced. Well, then . . . let me talk to her. We re good
friends. Let me explain that
NO!
The anger was there again. Only stronger.
Julie pulled back.
The guardian s next words were more gentle. The time has
come. You must make the decision. If you wish to enter our
level, your time has arrived.
Excitement surged through Julie. Now? You mean we can do
it now?
Yes, the creature continued patiently. But you must promise
to cut yourself off from the enemy s influence.
Ever so faintly, Julie heard the phone in her bedroom begin
to ring. Instinctively, she sensed who it was. That s Becka calling,
isn t it?

The light began to fade. The guardian wavered, then began
to disappear.
No! Come back, come back!
The phone continued ringing.
Don t go! Come back! Her pleas were urgent, frantic . . . and,
apparently, effective. The light rippled, growing brighter than
ever before as the guardian returned.
You are ready, then?
The phone continued ringing.
Yes. Yes, I m ready. Julie s mind was speaking louder now,
practically shouting, trying to drown out the phone. Tell me,
what am I supposed to do?
It must entirely be your choice.
Yes, yes . . . Julie was breathing harder now. Both in fear and
excitement. The time had come.
Then let yourself go.
But how ?
Let yourself go. Give your will over to me.
The phone continued ringing. Julie hesitated.
Completely.
But
NOW!
Startled, afraid of losing something she had to have, Julie
obeyed. She blocked out the sound of the phone and gave herself
over.

Instantly, something flowed into her, filling her body, her
thoughts, her mind . . . her entire being. Her chest stiffened,
lifting into the air in an instinctive effort to fight off the intruder.
Then she went limp.
As she lay there, stunned, struggling to understand what had
happened, one thing became glaringly clear: Something was
inside her. Something more powerful than herself.
She was no longer in control.
