Chapter 4
In what seemed like an 'blink of an eye', he was seated on a stone bench, within a dark cave, waiting. There was no sound, no feeling, no sense of time or temperature, just hearing his own thoughts.
Then he saw visual images and heard things in his mind, someone was communicating with him!
Medicos around the world tell us that what we perceive to be an OBE(Out-of body experience) is caused by certain chemicals our body and mind produce when under certain pressures and emotions. So the golden thread, the mind thoughts, the looking down, etc. all were just a figment of James' imagination. It could not be real.
What was a bit strange regarding this event was that it was not past events and images that he saw, but what seemed to be future occurrences.
Some might call it prophecy, others a vision, fortune or a premonition, but they all seemed to deal with decisions dealing with keeping the book or not
What he saw was very revealing.
Each view was like that of a TV screen going on and off or a door/window opening and closing.
Each was neither all good or all evil, each seemed to retain elements of both, and they were all different aspects.
Nothing was familiar. In some views he was alone, holding, no clutching the book like a mad man possessed. In others, he was holding it up, pointing out pages or a section of a page like a teacher might.
In some, a dark figure lay behind the scene, in others the shape of a girl or woman was evident. One though, contained that of a beast. The beast was eating his leg and James had his eyes closed as if he were dreaming.
At one particular scene, James bolted up and tried to reach out and grab hold. In his mind, he thought out. "That's it ... I..." Then everything began to fade and he was descending back into his body. A voice in his head was saying, "You must choose, only you can decide."
On the ground, both Shelly and the 'Old Lady' were holding James' head and hand. The 'Old Lady' asked Shelly, "Girl, what have you told him? Either about the book, yourself or me?"
"I have said nothing. It is not my place to tell my Master anything."
"Girl, he is not yet 'The Master', the Book may have chosen him, but he has not yet decided to keep it.'
"I will serve him no matter if he keeps the Book or not. It has been so deemed that I serve his needs so shall it be, and you, Hag, may not interfere or suffer the consequence. He is to be my Master until death parts us."
