The girls had this nagging feeling that Angel was trying to talk to them.
“Julie, Jessica. Angel is trying to talk to you. She is using telepathy.” I paused for any comments, but the girls knew there was more to come. “You know telepathy is real; you were using it with the birds on project Eyeglass. You just need to switch to Angel’s telepathy frequency. Angel will be transmitting your name. You should go through the mental steps as a computer would do – activate telepathy, select listener bandwidth, listen on bandwidth. This will become second nature to you and probably something you will do as you awake each day.” I felt like I was a hypocrite. This was the way I thought it should be done, but I had cheated and used magic. I suspected they would cheat and use their tokens to help them.
“Auntie Samantha. What do you mean by bandwidth?” Jessica, as usual was a stickler for details.
“Telepathy bandwidths are many and varied. Each living thing has its own telepathy frequency; human beings are on one bandwidth and dogs are on another. The bandwidth is the group of telepathy frequencies used by a specific race, e.g. the human race. You could compare the idea to an FM radio where you know that Radio-1 is transmitted on a range frequencies. You listen on that range and then tune in on the local frequency that you find. Your listening methods on telepathy are the same.”
“I think I understand that. Please continue.”
“You will know when you have succeeded because you will hear Angel calling your name. It will be as clear as I am speaking to you now. What you should hear is ‘Angel calling Julie’. You should respond with ‘hello Angel’. It is a good idea to keep repeating ‘hello Angel, this is Julie’ because Angel will be trying to identify your transmission frequency; it might be one of many. Once you have identified each other, two things will happen automatically; first, angels transmit frequency will be noted in your memory; and second, a conversation will be started with Angel. The conversation will consist of a dedicated listener for Angel’s transmit frequency.”
“Sorry auntie, but we are not used to thinking in computer procedures. I think I understand, but we will have to practice.”
