The Last Queen of Lemuria by Gloria Mur Read Free Book Online

we send an Envoy to the World Above. In order to track the progress of our Brothers, and help them if necessary, the Shambhalans have made this map of the World Above. And then we decided to mark the movements of the dark forces, to get the whole picture."
     
    The Teacher touched a red light with his finger. The scale increased. A map of New York City appeared, criss-crossed by smaller lights. The Teacher chose one of them, and touched it with his finger. The scale changed again and a highway was shown on the screen. A jeep raced to intercept a huge truck. The engines roared, and the smell of burning rubber wafted into the air. The blonde in the jeep slammed on the brake pedal, but the car would not obey. The tourists saw the pale face of the truck driver, who noticed the interloper too late. They all froze in anticipation of the crash.
    But the crash didn't happen. The teacher flicked his hand in a lighting motion directly at the screen and... The car stopped, and started to stall out. The Teacher touched the edge of the screen, and everyone saw the map of the world once again.
    -         "That's quite a machine you've got there," said Boris, shaking his head.
    -         "And the others?" Exclaimed Nastia, "the other lights?  How can you take care of every thing?"
    -         "We cannot take care of everything. And in fact we choose not to. What I have just done is not welcomed by all. We are bound to defend the fate of mankind, not mere men. Everything must take its course.
    I would like to show you one more cave, but before this, I must purify you. We have a special tool for that."
    -         "How does it purify?" Shivered Margo.
    -         "Do not be afraid!" laughed the Teacher, "you will feel yourselves at ease."
    They went into a small room, in the center of which stood a shining box with a spout like a tea kettle.
    -         "This is a lithivator," explained the Teacher, "it will purify your aura. Lithium, is a very useful metal. No other element can compete with its heat and energy capacity. We charge it with our energy and use it to purify the auras of the World Above.
    -         Take off your protective cloak!" ordered the Teacher, pointing to Nastia.
    He took the device and pointed it at the girl's chest. A thin ray of light extended from the "spout." The air around Nastia became multicolored. It was as if a large, luminous egg was surrounding her body.
    -         “Look at that!” said the Teacher, "those dark spots are the traces of your world." He began to carry the device around Nastia. Her aura gradually evened out and became a shining gold.
    -         "Done! Next!" invited the Teacher.
    -         "How do you feel, Nastia?"  asked Margo.
    -         "I've never felt better."
    Everyone went through the purification procedure.
    "Now we can visit the cave of the somatics," said the Teacher, "you can leave your protective cloaks here. You will no longer need them."
    The cave of the somatics was colossal. The guests entered it from above, pausing on a stone ledge-balcony. The cave was filled with stone giants, sitting in the lotus position. Their faces and bodies were of the ideal definition.
    -         "What beauty!" exclaimed Margo. "You are among the brilliant masters!”
    -         “These are not sculptures," said the Teacher, "these are the holy Harati. They are in a somatic state." 
    -         "I don't understand." grumbled Boris.
    -         "These are the petrified bodies of the Lemurians. Ancient people, who lived millions of years ago.. It was they who founded Olmolungring. They decided to turn their bodies into stone in order to remain on the earth. Their spirits are alive. They have long been here, together with us. They help us, as we help the people above."
    -         "How is it possible to turn one's body into stone?" asked Nastia, and stopping short, added, "ah, the powers of the five
