Episode V

EXT:  INTERSTELLAR SPACE, AMIDST NEBULA AND STARS

A small, intensely brilliant light is drifting within a nebula-like assortment of colors and sounds.  Views of astounding astronomical objects slip in and out, as the LIGHT BEING is carried along by some unseen currents of space.  A spectacular binary star system comes into focus, including a major conflagration between the two stars as they exchange massive amounts of matter between them.  The Light Being closes in on the sight.

DAVID (voice over)

Wow!  Fantastic!

(beat)

I wonder...

The Light Being suddenly darts in between the two blazing suns, interrupting the stream of particles between them.  The conflagration between the two stars abruptly eases.  The Light Being hovers for a moment, glowing brightly.

EXT:  KINLAND, A SMALL GREEN PLANET OF A DISTANT BINARY SYSTEM

In a green, garden like area, several humanoids are involved with various astronomical instruments intended to measure solar variables in daylight. Visible computer displays show the ceasing of the binary star holocaust, a fact which causes immediate excitement among the humanoids.  The excitement rapidly becomes a celebration by the humanoids as they delight in their instrument readings, hugging and congratulating each other.

EXT:  INTERSTELLAR SPACE, IN THE BINARY STAR SYSTEM

The Light Being is still floating between the two stars.  With the reduced glare caused by the now defunct conflagration, a small, lush, green planet comes into view. 

DAVID (voice over)

Hmmmm.  That looks inviting.

The Light Being zooms toward the planet, enters its atmosphere, and slowly drops through a reddish-blue sky toward the garden astronomers setting.

EXT:  KINLAND

The humanoids in the garden start becoming excited all over again as the Light Being descends into their midst.  Then as Light Being transforms in a flash to David, the humanoids’ rejoicing is arrested.  Seeing him incarnate among them, the humanoids throw themselves to the ground, bowing to David and beginning an adoration of the amazing apparition.  Others, coming upon the scene, see him as well and quickly do likewise, while David can only look around in total amazement.  Shrugging his shoulders, he casually speaks to the assembled group.

DAVID

Nice place you’ve got here.

There is some movement from the prostrated humanoids, but none appear to dare rise or look upon the face of David.  Until he begins to encourage them. 

DAVID

You can get up now.

Slowly, the humanoids tentatively start to rise, but keeping their heads bowed and their eyes averted. None of the humanoids appear to have any idea of what to do next.  David looks around, waiting for one of them to step forward.  Then he smiles.

DAVID

Got anything to eat?

In an increasingly rapid sequence of events and activities, food, flowers and all manner of gifts appear and are laid before the Great God David.  Simultaneously, David finds himself atop an increasingly large alter, which seems to rise beneath him, elevating him with a polished marble and golden throne, complete with lush purple coverings.  Beautiful, gorgeous, well-endowed ladies in harem-like dresses arrive at his feet, looking love-starved for the Great God, and draping themselves at his feet.  One notable beauty wraps a seductive arm about David’s leg in the same manner Cathy and Aris had done in David’s dream.  David is decidedly taken by the woman, and leans over toward her, a mischievous smile on his face.

DAVID

So tell me...  When do you get off work?

Before his fondest desire can be realized, however, the HIGH PRIEST arrives with the sound of trumpets and a retinue of three other high level bureaucrats each sporting varying degrees of hierarchical preponderance.  Several appear to be issuing orders and commands to various members of the worshipping masses.  Soldiers arrive behind the priests, some carrying banners of the One God David.  The High Priest directly approaches the throne.

HIGH PRIEST

Oh Great God, we humbly ask your blessing for our warriors in their future conquest of the Felacian heretics and unbelievers.  For only with conquest, may they be saved!

David suddenly loses his smile.  Simultaneously, noises off to the right cause him to turn and see a temple under construction -- complete with slaves and men with whips to keep the work progressing.  Behind the temple, a cathedral begins to manifest in spontaneous glory -- all to the honor of the One God David.  David turns back to find the women at his feet pushing and shoving in order to be the closest to him, taking special pains to shove aside the beauty David had earlier addressed.  The High Priest then turns his back on David and faces the troops.

HIGH PRIEST

Go with the blessings of the One God David.

DAVID

Oh, no!  Not another religion!!

The High Priest, soldiers, women and everyone else in hearing turn to look at him, each with varying degrees of surprise on their faces.  David just shakes his head, and in a brilliant flash of light, becomes the Light Being again.  Like a shooting star, he streaks upwards, leaving the local adherents to his recently canonized religion standing in total awe.  Then as his star disappears into the sky, some of the priests and others begin clamoring to reach the throne, either for the throne itself or just to get closer to it.

EXT:  INTERSTELLAR SPACE

The Light Being moves rapidly from one astronomical sight to another.  Another planet -- one with rings and looking vaguely like Saturn -- comes into view and the Light Being maneuvers over a geographic pole.  A Star of David is clearly visible in the streaming colors streaking around the planet’s pole.  The Light Being descends toward the pole.

EXT:  PLANET WAYSTATION

David’s landing spot is a barren landscape -- desolate, windswept, with skies of intense streaking colors, virtually continuous lightening strikes, and thunderous roaring. 

As he lights upon the surface, he looks around.  There are no other signs of life, and no evidence of there ever having been any in the immediate area.  As he begins to explore, a robed being (Kayleigh) appears just behind him.  David straightens, as if sensing a presence, and then slowly turns to face it. When he sees Kayleigh, he reacts with considerable shock, stepping back and partially stumbling.

DAVID

What the hell!?

KAYLEIGH

Yes, as a matter of fact.  Hell is indeed one of your choices.

DAVID

My choices...?  What’s my choices got to do with anything?  And who are you?

KAYLEIGH

I am Paatal.  Or rather I am of the Paatal -- a member of a community of souls unified in their diversity.  I have become separate from their cosmic consciousness in order to act as Guardian.

DAVID

Oh yeah, right.  I’ve often heard that such legendary beings need a “Guardian”!

KAYLEIGH

When the Paatal began their Grand Experiment, it was their intent to experience the ordeals of living within the dense confines of three spatial dimensions -- a physical plane where limitations abound and the illusion of restrictions take on the appearance of reality.  For example...

The thunder and lightening flashes about them abruptly cease.

KAYLEIGH

At the same time, a buffer of time was inserted between desire and manifestation, so that sustained emotional experiences would be required before one could manifest true change.  With these constraints of space and time, The Paatal hoped to find within emotions and brief lifetimes, the capability to manifest with incredible speed and virtuosity.

DAVID

You’re telling me the legends were true...?

KAYLEIGH

Most legends are.

Kayleigh turns with a wave of her hand, as the landscape becomes filled with scenes from mythologies and legends, all blending in and among themselves.

KAYLEIGH (voice over)

As Guardian, I am to watch over the Grand Experiment - remaining separate and distinct from the participants who are living within the four dimensional space-time creation.  I am to observe, monitor, and ensure the completion or resolution of the Experiment.

DAVID (voice over)

And now...?

KAYLEIGH

Conditions have evolved to the point where a substantial intervention is now necessary -- the reason we’re having this conversation.

The landscape scenery begins to show scenes of Earth devastation -- from burning landscapes and forests to polluted seas and lakes to visions of a dead desert.

KAYLEIGH (voice over)

Members of the community, who have so zealously taken on their parts in this greatest of dramas, have reached an impasse.

Scenes of wars, conflicts and conflagrations are overlaid on the landscape scenery.

KAYLEIGH (voice over) 

The very stage upon which the Paatal are performing is nearing total destruction.  Not only from the vagaries of the strange and colorful beings and dramas the densified community of souls have concocted.  But also from external sources -- beings from the fourth and fifth dimensions.

Landscape scenery begins to include pictures of various extraterrestrial races, UFOs, cattle mutilations and other evidences of extraterrestrial influence.

KAYLEIGH (voice over)

These intruders, while acknowledging the Paatal as something akin to gods, have seen self-advantage for themselves by thwarting the goals of the limited personas -- by intervening in the Grand Experiment.  At the same time, they hope to find a way to control the Paatal’s latent, inner powers.

DAVID (voice over)

Bummer.

The landscape scenery abruptly ceases as Kayleigh turns to look at David.

KAYLEIGH

As you say.  A bummer.

DAVID

Yeah, well... I’m also assuming that there’s a solution.

KAYLEIGH

There always is.  A portion is in progress.

Scenes begin appearing showing TV programs and lectures in progress.

KAYLEIGH (voice over)

Isolated members of the Paatal in their guise as three-dimensional humans, have already encountered hints and pieces of the puzzle, and begun the process of remembering their true state.  Others have shared their partial enlightenment and sometimes puzzlement with their fellows -- often on a massive scale. Everything is intended as a wake up call for the Paatal.  Yourself included.

DAVID

But why me?  And why now?

KAYLEIGH

You appear to be at a major bifurcation point, a decision time of great significance.

DAVID

Oh, man!  I really don’t know if I want to be hearing this.  Sounds a little disconcerting.

KAYLEIGH

I can assure you:  You did hear it.

DAVID

And I suppose you’ll want me to stop just reacting to things and begin taking responsibility for my actions.

KAYLEIGH

More precisely: For your thoughts.

DAVID

Hmmm.  Look.  Just confirming what I’ve recently learned about the Paatal, is not exactly conclusive proof that it’s true.  There are a few things that don’t quite make sense. Why, for example, did the human race, if they’re descended from these lofty beings of the eleventh dimension, develop the capacity to so easily kill their own?

KAYLEIGH

Other alien races have attempted to acquire the Paatal’s DNA by genetic manipulation and interbreeding. The result, however, is that each human now has significant, albeit very subtle, variations in their DNA, and are thus operating under a multiplicity of alien influences.  Some humans are fundamentally Draconian, while others are Pleiadian or Sirian.  There are few exceptions to this variation in underlying human DNA.

DAVID

And all of this switching of dimensions and realities I’ve been experiencing...  Like who’s playing games with me?

KAYLEIGH

The process is called “Ascension”, whereby one consciously removes themselves from the Wheel of Life, to begin the process whereby one can complete their portion of the Grand Experiment.  It is something you chose when you requested a “whole new ball game” with “new rules.”

DAVID

And you took me seriously?

KAYLEIGH

The universe always takes you seriously, especially when you verbalize your requests and add emotion to the mix.

DAVID

I’ll try to keep that in mind.  One last question -- something I’ve just learned: The end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 A.D....

KAYLEIGH

The final fail-safe end of the Grand Experiment.  It is when time itself will cease.

David raises his eyebrows, looking at Kayleigh with a questioning look.  She does not immediately respond, remaining passive.  Then she smiles very slightly.

KAYLEIGH

There is a caveat.  If you and enough others like you have learned to roam and respect the limited-dimensional universes, then time will continue -- the Grand Experiment will move into a new phase.  For others-- who release the alien DNA influences -- they will be allowed to leave the density limitations of three dimensional space and return to the cosmic consciousness.  And finally, those who are not yet ready to make the transition, those who choose otherwise, will stay.  And quite possibly participate in the Ta Ra Nee.

DAVID

This seems too easy.  I just have to choose.

KAYLEIGH

But choose wisely, and maintain that choice during an increasingly small buffer of time.

David grimaces slightly, while Kayleigh looks closer at him

KAYLEIGH

You have another question?

DAVID

No. 

Kayleigh smiles condescendingly, until David abruptly smiles and looks self-conscious.

DAVID

Okay.  Do I have to be on my own in this?

KAYLEIGH

No.  That’s not your way.

DAVID

It certainly has been up until now.

KAYLEIGH

You may also need a little faith.  One that includes an acceptance of the Law of Allowing.  Those we love, we love best by allowing them their own path.

DAVID

You’re not going to tell me, right?

KAYLEIGH

What can I tell you?  You’re a god!

DAVID

Can you tell me where we are right now?

KAYLEIGH

A way station.

DAVID

Which would suggest a point between an origin and a destination.  So, what is my next destination  -- my next adventure?

KAYLEIGH

Wherever you choose.  Doing whatever you can imagine.

DAVID

I don’t know.  I can imagine a lot.

Kayleigh’s hood slowly slips down, revealing a beautiful and very powerful woman, the same woman as in the Pentagon scene.  She smiles, but remains silent.

DAVID

 I’ve seen you before...  You’re...?

KAYLEIGH

Kayleigh.  And you’ll likely see me again.  Meanwhile...

Abruptly, a flow of colors and sounds cascade down upon David like a waterfall, showering him with all manner of stimulating sensory experiences.  His expression becomes almost orgasmic as he delights in the moments.

DAVID (voice over)

Ho boy! This is too much!

Water suddenly replaces the colors flowing around him, forming a whirlpool with which David only slowly connects.  Then as a big smile crosses his face, the scene phases.
