I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

and the Akashic Record, that Record which tells all of the
past and of the immediate present everywhere and all the
probabilities for the future. The Telepaths too were busy,
sending messages to others in Tibet, keeping in touch tele-
pathically with those of their Order everywhere-keeping
in touch with Me!
"Lobsang. Lobsang!" The thought dinned into my head,
bringing me back from my reverie. Telepathic messages
were nothing to me, they were more common to me than
11
telephone calls, but this was insistent. This was in some
way different. Quickly I relaxed, sitting in the Lotus
position, making my mind open and my body at ease.
Then, receptive to telepathic messages, I waited. For a
time there was nothing, just a gentle probing, as if "Some-
one" were looking through my eyes and seeing. Seeing
what? The muddy Detroit River, the tall skyscrapers of

1960. Again-nothing. Suddenly, as if "Someone" had
reached a decision, the Voice came again.
