==Introduction==
Whose child has never wondered, "What am I?" and what
philosopher has not pondered the questions, "What am I for?"
and even more profoundly, "Why?"? Our ancestors gazed in
wonder at the same clusters of stars and constellations in the
heavens as do today's astronomers, and the same question continues
to tantalize interested minds: "Might there be someone
else out there?"
There are answers to these questions, answers that have long
been obscured by veils of misinterpretation. Today, space
technology is extending the vision of human eyes far beyond the
borders of our solar system, out beyond our galaxy. We have
learned that the endless deeps of space contain countless other
wheeling galaxies, perhaps other universes. Many large radiotelescopes
are continuously listening and probing for intelligent
signals from outer space, from an advanced culture "outside."
And these highly technical endeavors are not without concrete
feedback. Considerable evidence has been collected and
analyzed to prove that precursors to amino acids-basic building
blocks of living forms-are found in particles recovered from
certain space probes, and meteorites have been found which
contain ingredients necessary to support life. Such data has been
programmed into specialized computers. To the question of
whether other life might exist in the universe, these computers
have answered in the affirmative. For several years they have
shown the mathematical odds to be more than a million-to-one
that, in our galaxy alone, extensive life does exist out there.
Scientists are well aware that even should they overhear an intelligent
signal from a faraway culture, the time limitation would
effectively prevent trans-space correspondence. Our next
nearest star-sun is about 4.3 light-years distant and, with present
methods, more than 8.6 long years would creep by, (under the
best of conditions), before receiving an answer to our. . . well,
what would break the ice? "Hello out there ... How's it going
with you folks?"
This time barrier stems from one basic problem. So fur, there
has been discovered only one medium through which to transmit
radio signals. This is the well-known electromagnetic spectrum.
All frequencies pulsing through this ocean move at the speed of
light, no faster. This mode may serve well over short distances
on earth-even planet to moon-but time lag difficulties increase
as the distance increases between planets. Radio control
of landing modules and space probes sent to explore distant
planets is considered a major problem. (During the many minutes
of time lag between transmissions, a robot vehicle might
easily wander over the nearest cliff.)
Today, however, a new and better method of communicating
is dawning on the horizon of expanding technology . When a
machine cannot perform the task, man himself must often substitute.
It may be news to some readers that certain high ranking
research institutes have probed and examined another spectrum,
a completely different method of communicating. The San
Francisco Chronicle of October 23, 1974, under a page 6 headline
by Kevin Leary, stated: "SRI Scientists' Fiindings: A Mysterious
Mental Power; two scientists from Stanford Research Institute
have published evidence that they say strongly suggests
many persons may have the ability to send and receive information
through a strange and as yet unexplained power. The two
SRI physicists published their findings in the [then] current issue
of Nature, a prestigious top ranking British scientific journal.
They stated the phenomenon they had studied for more than a
year was not ESP, but something that depended on an unknown,
seldom exercised sensory capability possessed by many, perhaps
all persons."
This finding seems quite timely and potentially useful, since
intricate examination suggests this new method exceeds the
speed of light. It appears to be instantaneous, and distance
seems to be no barrier. One astronaut is reported to have experimented
with it while standing on the moon. Some evidence
indicates this mode has been long recognized. References are to
be found in literature and art, such as Australian aboriginal art
which rather pointedly describes the feat of «talking on the
wind" to others in faraway lands.
This mode of communications has already been given a name:
«channeling," and those persons who have developed the ability
to transmit and receive other's telepathic communications are
called "channels."
To the question, «Why can't everyone channel?" there is evidence
that deepseated stresses, beliefs, or hang-ups may completely
block the subtle flow of mental ioformation necessary to
telepathy. And many of todays channels remain unaware that
their own psychological life-conditioning tends to color the delicate
translation of those language symbols received. Lenora, the
channel in this book (and its co-author), is rated 'superior:
Communications received through her talent have been recently
published in Path To Illumination, which received enthusiastic
acclaim. Lenora is a charming mother of four young adults. She
and her husband, Chuck, reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Chuck is a lean and easy-going type, affable and friendly to all,
and completely undisturbed by Lenora's unique talent. This latter
blossomed over a period of years to its present fluid state.
She has been interviewed by the media and examined by members
of the local scientific community. Her one desire seems to
be that of helping humanity understand the significance of these
expanding times, that now is the time to broaden one's outlook
and search more deeply.
Lenora's working partner in this book is Joseph H. Mathes, a
long-time researcher into origins of life, purposes of creation,
and possible visits to this planet by non terrestrials. Despite volumes
of evidence, he maintained a firm, skeptical stance
throughout three decades concerniog ESP phenomena. But one
sunny afternoon in 1971, he was introduced to Lenora by one of
his associates who had been working with her for a period of
years.
What a jolt that introduction proved to be! Within ten short
minutes with Lenora, his limited opinions had to be radically revised.
He quickly determined that her telepathic ability was
genUine by asking complex questions clearly beyond her field of
knowledge. Lenora dazedly stated that she could hardly comprehend
the questions, let alone any possible answers, yet the
information she channeled was precisely correct. Surprised, he
then began to ask questions about subjects beyond his own limited
knowledge, and it was at this point that all the fun started.
'Tis easy enough to settle down in one's snug, favorite chair,
pick up a book and commence to read, to sail forth upon unknown
adventures in the warm security and privacy of one's
home. But how rarely are thoughts given to the long hours, the
months of creative effort spent composing and collating serial
events ioto a Howiog, enjoyable manuscript? Even rarer is a
thought given to the intricate tasks handled by the publishing
staff. Beyond this, almost nonexistent is the thought that the authors
might have had real doubts as to the advisability of publishing
their findings during this centUry.
Such was the case with this book. Its contents are somewhat
more than just thought provoking. To those personally present
during the portrayed events, the. communications and related
happenings were rather electrifYing. Indecision stemmed
primarily from the probability that by publishing these findings
at this time, many cherished beliefs might require reexamination.
Then, after considerable thought and many discussions,
it was felt that the gaios outweighed the losses, that the
contents of these communiques would surely add considerable
cheer and comfort to millions of anxious people, those so deeply
in need of a helpful boost in these troubled times. In depth
examination of the scales of the present revealed nothing but
imbalance.
But how might one balance the scales of the future? Who
among us can say today whether future historians, (assumiug
there will be any), will praise or condemn a twentieth century
decision to explode a myth and open the drapes hiding a window
to tomorrow? Will this vista of tomorrow blaze too brightly and
dazzle eyes more comfortable behiud dark glasses? Such an intrusion
could hardly be condoned. A compromise was finally
reached with the suggestion that certain of these communications
be withheld for a future publication. The major bulk of the
transcriptions from the original sixteen tapes are included in this
book, which will allow the reader ample opportunity to evaluate
the quality, flavor, and value of this information.
What is seen through a window to tomorrow? A vast desolate
waste? Or is it a sparkling scene offrolicking children, laughing
and playiug amidst trees, butterflies, and dappled wildflowers in
enchanted glades reminiscent of Tolkien's Lochlorien? Perhaps
there are those who feel such a paradise is no longer attainable.
Those who read this book may find a way, one which is said to be
effortless.
Such a fulfilled life, however, cannot come without change., A
river's journey is constant change and we who dwell in time's
river must discover an easy method of adaptiug to time's cyclical
changes. To remain anchored to the past is to sit like a boulder in
the middle of a river. In time, such rocks are worn away, no
longer serving as obstacles to an onward progressing, ever crea~
tive humanity. It is the very nature of the human mind to seek
greater happiness and fulfillment. Even as plants reach toward
the life-sustaining rays of the sun, so people reach for greater
happiness, security, better times.
But what of those who equate happiness and security with
traditional values of the past? Have they not the right to pursue
happiness on their own tenns, unmolested by the eagerness of
others who welcome change and acceleration towards the future?
Or is it just possible that some common denominator exists
that, if found, might enable both to live happily in peace and
harmony? Needless to say, had not this underlying fuctor been
found, this book would never have reached the publishers. As
parents, the authors could never sanction the addition of further
anxieties to an already overstressed society. Rather, it is expected
that these findings will, in time, help alleviate many of
our twentieth century fears and limitations.
And perhaps a word of caution will lessen future frictions resulting
from those who allow their emotions to affect their common
sense. Need it be stated that we're all in this together, that
we all inhabit the same planet? And that our planet is, in truth, a
"ship" in outer space?
The Amnesia Factor is the result of a series of tape recorded
events during 1971-72, adventures in a new field of communications
which led to a discovery, a deeply hidden planetary secret.
This finding may help explain not only the strange history of
humankind but the fundamental purpose of human existence. It
is the "Why?" of creation and planetary progress, the essential
meaning of human struggles, that baHIes the intellect. The authors
feel that were it not for this new method of communicating,
without the kind understanding and reciprocity of those "outside,"
these revealing insights might well have remained
unknowns until future times. While regarded as personal discoveries,
both writers are well aware of the saying: "There is
nothing new under the sun." It is also true that certain historic
writings seem to parallel several of the findings, which is not unusual.
But how rare it is to be privileged to probe behind the triple
veils of symbolism, far deeper than surface knowledge, and
search along unknown paths toward the deepest secret of all.
There is no book, however massive or enlightened, which contains
all answers to an infinite creation, yet it will be found that
two small letters of the alphabet can open a doorway to limitless
discoveries. There may yet be many adventures ahead for humanity,
not only on this small planet bnt perhaps in countless
other systems; and it might prove beneficial, before commencing
a journey through unknown territory, to learn that a destination
truly exists.
For all who seek fresh adventures, for those who still delight
in unique treasure hunts, and for those who enjoy meeting the
unknown and unexpected, it is hoped that this book will serve as
a satisfying introduction to those "outside."
==Prologue==
<center>'''''Amnesia Island (Fable)'''''</center>
Long, long ago, in a timeless kingdom of surpassing beauty and
harmony, dwelt a great and wise King. Most of His Majesty's
royal children had earned their inheritances, had long since
begun to rule over their own lesser realms. But two royal children
yet remained, growing in the love and warmth of their Father's
castle. And when they had reached a certain age, the King then
decreed that they should go forth and meet the Seven Challenges,
from which they would gain the strength, wisdom, and compassion
so necessary to those who would rule kingdoms of their own.
Six times, the prince and princess were disguised and secretly
sent forth to live and work amongst six different peoples of six
different trades. And six times, these royal children returned to
their Father stronger, wiser, and with deeper compassion for
those who served the kingdom.
Then the seventh and final Challenge was faced. The two children
must descend into the very depths of the realm, to live and
toil in the lowermost level of Nature's workshop, to develop a
lasting appreciation for Nature's creative experiments. Here, for
the very first time, they would encounter "change," constant and
ever-present cycles of seasons and changing conditions, as well as
the waves of opposites: pleasure and pain, love and hate, ease
and hardship. Change, they were to discover, was itself the hidden
law behind creativity. Thus the King had decreed that, above
all, His children must learn well the lessons of adapting to
change.
But as the King looked upon His young and still innocent children,
His heart began to melt. With great love and mercy, He decided
to shorten the seventh and final Challenge by granting
them temporary ''forgetfulness.'' Without their memories, the
royal children would not suffer from remembrance of their
golden years in the castle. Rather, they would set forth with fresh
eagerness to learn their lessons.
When the children heard this, they immediately asked their
Father how they could ever find their way home without
memories. The King laughed and replied that when the final
Challenge was completed, He would send a royal messenger to
fetch them. But again they hesitated, knowing that without
memories, they might not believe the messenger. And the King
again replied that, in this case, He would simply send more royal
messengers until they believed. And if none were believed, He
would then send one of their elder brothers, a royal Prince, to
fetch them.
Greatly reassured, the young prince and princess then donned
their new disguises and, when all preparations had been made,
drank the magic potion of forgetfulness. When they had fallen
asleep, they were gently borne to Nature's experimental isle,
(which is known to this very day as Amnesia Island) to commence
the Seventh Challenge.
But there was one secret the King never revealed to them. He
so dearly loved His precious children that He could not bear the
thought of them alone and memory legs, wandering as naked
babes in Nature's forests. So He sent His most trusted and beloved
Guardians to watch over them wherever they roamed.

==Introduction==
Whose child has never wondered, "What am I?" and what
