The woman with the flowing gown greets me. Her gown shimmers a golden hue and I'm hard pressed to describe its appearance. It sometimes seems holographic or translucent and at other times appears not merely to be reflecting light but to be radiating a brilliant golden light, scintillating as she approaches.

She knew I was coming and has everything in preparation for a quick tour.

"Greetings. We welcome you to the Soul Research Library, Terrestrial Division. We do not often get visitors from Earth who are awake and this will be our honor to prepare you with as much as you can assimilate during this short tour."

I hear a voice raised from behind me. I recognize it as belonging to a HZ member of some long standing.

"Excuse me..what do you mean visitors from Earth who are awake? And if we are not on Earth where exactly are we?"

"Thats a very good question. You are right now in what would be best described as 'inner space' and yet as you can see it is very real and has the same conscious parameters you are accustomed to. There is width, height and depth and you hear my voice as surely as you would on your world, even clearer. This is because terrestrial worlds based upon atomic configurations are mirror reflections of these higher stratified planes of existence."

"I don't get it. How can there be space and these Earthlike conditions if we are not on Earth?"

"All the things you perceive on Earth are sensory input. Your existence on Earth is thought-based. Here you are not limited merely to your physical senses for thought input, but are directly interfacing with all this unique, defined forms of energy with your mind. Here is a new concept I want you to try and retain when you return. It is your mind that 'sees' , not your eyes and it is your mind that hears, feels, smells and speaks. Your bodies' organs are only really needed to physically interact in such a terrestrial world. In this world, all you truly need is your mind and your mind is much more perceptive, complete and efficient at perceiving environment than are your x number of nerve relays.

Try it. Take a look into the distance. On Earth you would see a point where clarity ceases. Now look behind you and before you simultaneously without adjusting your head. Yes, you see your perception is 360 degrees and you have no limits your eyes imposed upon you here. As Tech1 commented as he arrived, my dress is not earthlike in consistency and this is because it is made of pure radiant energies projected and sustained by my mind. My appearance, to you, is how I appear as a human and yet I can appear in as many different forms as is necessary to facilitate visitor's expectations."

"So what's your real shape?"

"My real shape is that of pure energy. Depending upon the level of the being who would gaze upon me, I would appear with varying degrees of brightness and various hues would also be perceived. All this radiant energy would be intelligent signals stored. It oscillates in a field and sustains itself indefinitely. To a very advanced being long removed from anything resembling the terrestrial existence my light would appear fairly dim. However, we're I to appear on Earth, it would seem as though a blinding, mini-sun had appeared and was moving about. Physical eyes would be distressed and could not look at me for any period of time without cell damage due to the frequency of these radiation.

"Ok, but what about the 'waking' comment?"

"Yes, look around you. You see many humans here. They are walking down the isles and you can speak with them. Most all these will tell you that they are asleep back on Earth and that they visit here when they sleep sometimes, especially when momentous occurences are happening in their life or they need assistance and mental perspective. Very rarely do we have humans visit here who are awake and functioning on Earth. Few can split their consciousness in such a manner to maintain a functioning presence in both places.

Many of you will be familiar with this library. You have visited here when you slept. As a matter of fact, you could not read this post Tech1 is relating had it not been otherwise. I know each of you very well. But now let me continue with this tour, as it will polarize this knowledge in a new manner in your consciousness.

Look up. You see what appears to be a large golden ball of energy about 100 yards wide. It is far more beautiful than your sun and you can sense an unfathomable 'goodness' radiating from it. This orb of energy is the true heart of this library. In this orb is the collected intelligence of all the souls who have lived on Earth and many other worlds as well. It is, for lack of a better analogy, like a giant living computer. It is not sentient but, like the internet you are familiar with, can bring two or more minds together to communicate and share knowledge.

Let us move forward. You see the giant fountain in the center of this library. It is a very tall structure and reminds you of fountains and geysers you have seen on Earth. It seems to flow vortically right up into this orb. It washes down the same golden energies you observe in the orb and yet here it appears like running gold and even a fine gold mist spray emerges as it descends and you feel it as it rains down upon you.

If you will notice, the shelves are pure white and are streaked with bands of gold. As we walk closer, we see that what at first appeared to be white is actually almost clear like crystal or lucite and lit from within with a quantity of pulsing white light. It almost seems as if these shelves are pulsing like a heartbeat and indeed these shelves are alive in a sense, they are linked to the library computer system and know exactly who is here accessing the library and its countless personal records at any given moment.

But someone has a question they wish to voice. Please feel free, no question is unworthy or goes unanswered in the library."

"I was just wondering if this is really real. I mean, well, Tech1 is known for a sort of overactive imagination. Yet as you speak and I read, well, it seems eerily familiar. Is this all real?"

"You can be assured this is very real. Each of you have records here which you have accessed both in your sleep state and between Earth lives. Do not let Tech1's predilection for confrontation and bias distort the relaying of information. In his own way, he serves a valuable function and yet has his own past actions, which have often represented the nadir of his accumulated wisdom, to overcome. And another has a question."

"Yes, I was wondering if this place is like a part of Heaven and if God administrates this place?"

"Heaven is a conceptualization. Just like the Earth or Hell or Hoboken, New Jersey. You define these things in your mind. Imaginary borders define a world and the concepts of Heaven and Hell are imbued with your own personal interpretations and expectations. I have been confused for an angel many times by many who visited here. The radiant light and golden aura was inexplicable to many individuals perception and my existence can only fit in as some sort of divine assistant. But I am no more divine than are you. I express in this manner because it is natural for me to, just as you express in the manner and way that is normal for you.

This place is administrated by God in a sense, if God can be perceived as the sum of all beings. But it is more accurate to say this place was designed and sustained by very advanced beings who had arrived at such a point in their travels that they coulod understand the value of a central accessing point for each individuals personal history and past lives - a place wherein all souls could come to when they were so ready and help them in their travels and see the true sources of many of their various recurring traumas, experiences and conflicts.

Now, unfortunately, my time to relate in this manner is short. The window of communication between these spectra there is a great disparity and in the time it takes to make this post, literally months of relative time have past here. In a sense I have sustained part of my consciousness in this slow relaying of data to act as your tour guide while you are awake. You all will see me again very soon and all who access their records always do so individually with complete privacy.

It has been my privilege to serve you again in this manner. Till next we meet, I remain, The Librarian"

There's a place much like Mr. Atoz's library but much prettier and well stocked, that has the history of every single person that has lived upon the Earth.

A gold sheet, about 12" x 12" reflects the moment to moment actions from birth to death. It has multiple perspective capability. One can see from the point of view of the
