Gus lugs a portable VHS player from reception to his room. It’s a large, textured plastic monstrosity with a thick handle. The word “portable” feels like a bit of stretch.
When we get back to the room, I connect the coaxial cable to the TV. Dust spews off the back of the hotel TV set like a dog shaking off a dust storm. The tape tray releases with a click, and I as I push it back down the player replies with a satisfying chunk. It begins playing automatically.
After a moment, the TV flickers alive, as PLAY blinks in the upper left corner. A younger Melinda is suddenly on the screen staring directly at us from what looks like a less dusty version of the office in her bookstore. Tracking lines pulsate through the video like it’s been watched hundreds of times.
My name is Melinda Bakersfield, I’m a professor and author of the book, Six Secret Societies: The Untold Story of the Groups Nobody Wants You to Know About. I want to welcome you to this video seminar, entitled, “One Long Panel of Stones: Where the Sedona Vortices Lead Us.”
What you’re about to see in this video was originally presented at the Cornerstone Alliance Meetup, and codified by a team of researchers from around the world. I’ve shortened and adapted this presentation for VHS, but the overall thesis is the same.
The video cuts to Melinda standing outside at what looks like Cathedral Rock. There’s so much wind it’s difficult to hear what she’s saying.
It has long been thought that the Sedona vortices can amplify psychic energy. For most people, this means amplifying the healing energy of meditation, but we have found it can amplify other psychic powers, bridging the gap between our physical world and the mind’s eye.
The video cuts again, now showing Melinda appearing to meditate at the base of Cathedral Rock. The sound of a flute warbles through the TV’s tinny speakers. The camera suddenly zooms in on Melinda’s face as her eyes open.
We can control the universe from this place.
Melinda stands and gestures outward, the camera zooms back and pans up.
This is a long panel of stones. This rock formation holds the instruments that give us access to new worlds. We can use it to control the vortex here, opening ourselves up to outside influences from new worlds. We can communicate with other worlds, with other places, and we can evolve into something more than the petty machines we are today.
The camera continues upward until it hits the sun and goes white. Suddenly, we’re back in Melinda’s office.
We can affect the world. Using the teachings of Owl we’ve pinpointed the area and created a model. When it’s combined with the results from our field research, we’ve found some people to be capable of opening up portals to new worlds.
It is still unknown where these worlds are located or how to get to them. We’ve been able to observe but we can’t seem to communicate or move between the spaces.
Athanasius teaches us that these portals can be used to move between worlds. While we haven’t figured out how this works, I am confident we will understand the process soon. Our research is integral to the understanding of the vortex and the portals. This is why we’re asking members to send in donations to the address on the screen as soon as possible. I believe we are on the verge of something important here, but we need to shed our worldly obligations in order to bring this research to its end. In order to do that, we need your help.
The camera zooms backward, with a glitch, revealing Melinda’s office was at the base of Cathedral rock all along. The camera loses focus and blurs as Melinda’s voice comes through with an echo.
This is the long panel of stones, this is our entry. Help us get to our future, today.
