ROY: Thanks for agreeing to do this, I had a feeling you might be a little reluctant.
LLAM: I'm reluctant to be portrayed inaccurately. If we discuss this it shall become clear. (smiles)
ROY: To begin, we've learned so much from you, Dioth, Hurrain and the others and there are no words to thank you enough.
LLAM: Just doing my job.
ROY: I live in the mortal world as we call it, having a body of flesh. You do not. Can you describe the world in which you live?
LLAM: Dr. Marti Barham called it the "unobstructed universe." That is a fine descriptor but doesn't tell you very much if you don't know what it means. To live in the flesh as you do means that the chances are good that the culture within which you live will blind you to this unobstructed world. For several thousand years now there have been individual people who have taken it upon themselves to eradicate those like yourself who perceive this world of mine - which is really yours also. Supposedly mortal humans have a gene which allows them to perceive the unobstructed, but this is a quality of all matter, all material substance. Were you somehow to "blind" a fish to the fact that it lived in water nonetheless its body would behave as if it was indeed living in water. It couldn't help that simply because it was living in water. Your body and the body of every living human being lives in the same relation to the unobstructed universe. Only, your culture has decreed that it, and myself, do not exist.
Now to answer your question. I am a spiritual entity and I do not have material substance as you know it, but I have substance nonetheless. Based upon current mortal human knowledge I am hazarding a guess that you'd say we were composed of neutrinos. When you die you too shall be composed of neutrinos. There may be as-of-yet unanamed quantum particleswhich fit the job better, but for today, neutrinos will do fine. They have next to nothing for mass. This explains why we can go through walls and umm (smiling) defensive barriers.
ROY: I suppose I should check with John K. Harms about that. (John K. Harms is a Professional Associate of the Outlands Community USA whose specialty is quantum physics theory, he's at http://www.johnkharms.com ) His information is pretty up on that.
LLAM: He says the same thing as I have at one point, as when he says that the whole world is supernatural.
ROY: Oh yeh.
LLAM: But I live in the larger world, so to speak. Size is a terrible metaphor -
ROY: Yeah, we're not talking about sex -
LLAM: (glares, then laughs) - right! But it IS a terrible metaphor. In reality the mortal realm is as everywhere as the immortal one. It is that for you human folks, your home, Earth, is terribly local and terribly important, so it does loom large in your minds. No doubt were you living off Proxima Centauri you'd feel the same. But the arena of events in your lives, and for those of us angelic or devic beings who've taken part, it is the most important thing, at least for now. My concern is for Sara Jane and yourself, the Community, the world. I should point out that evryone, every human being has an angelic guide of some kind. And I wish to be clear, these beings are guides, they are not guards or guardians. You must be in touch with us for us to be able to help you.
ROY: Don't you interfere, or warn us at least once in a while?
LLAM: No. Any premonition of danger which you have, any seeming miraculaous preservation of your life is usually your own larger mind acting in your, umm, defense. That car accident you had in 1966 where you should all have died is an example. One of the few exceptions was when Hurrain saved your ass in Gillette in 1991. You'd fallen asleep and spun out -
ROY: I remember that very clearly, but I SAW him bounce the truck into a safe place into the woods.
LLAM: Exception, not the rule. But as guides, we can only tell you things, show you things.
ROY: One of the things which would piss me off when you all first arrived was that you wouldn't tell us things that you know about certain, umm, mysteries. But now I'm beginning to understand why. Your view of the universe differs sharply from mine.
LLAM: Which is what I just said. I live in eternity. You do too, you just cannot perceive it well.
ROY: (laughing) ain't that the truth! But here is what this little chat is about. At the beginning I thought "Oh cool, angels, we'll be learning so much from them!" I never gave a thought that you would be learning from us.
LLAM: I feel that I have learned as much from you mortal folks as you have from us. I could not in the beginning understand why you took some things so seriously. Politics for example, or the laws of your government or of other governments. I could not understand how you could not see through the deceptive manipulations of some of the people around you. I would say to myself, "Does he not see that?" No, you didn't, and I began to learn just how local your focus was.
ROY: And so I began to learn to shift my focus to larger things.
LLAM: Which was good, it is a good thing, when you die you'll at least know a little of what's going on and not be stumbling around going "WTF?" Shame we can't cuss online. But here is what I and the others had to learn: that you focus on the mortal realm in which you live is what you should be doing and what you should take seriously. Yes, you would agree with me that 100 years from now it will not matter very much that you ran out of coffee on December 12th, but on December 12th you were starting to have withdrawal symptoms.
ROY: That's because I drink so goddam much coffee!
LLAM: You can write "goddam?" and not get hit by the webmaster for it?
ROY: It's not one fo the "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television."
LLAM: Oh, you mean, you can prick your finger but -
ROY: - you can't finger your -
LLAM: (very loudly) I LIKE GEORGE CARLIN!
