And so they had a few days of indoctrination where they are taught about all of the strange

characteristics of this beast. It is a diesel engine, which is new to them and has air brakes and all sorts of interesting things.

And then every day they ventured out from the nest a little further.

The first day they spent in a parking lot just driving to see how wide it would turn to the right. And how wide it would turn to the left, and how to back the thing up, and so on. And then the next day they drove it out onto some country roads, and then the next day they drove it out onto the freeway.

Each of them feeling a little more comfortable every day.

And then finally the day came that they were ready to make their trek from Indiana to Asheville, North Carolina.

Off they go!! Both feeling very exhilarated, both feeling a little apprehensive and neither one really knowing where their vibration was about this thing because it was a really new ‘stick’.

Feeling very excited about living in it.! Feeling very excited about sleeping in it . Feeling very happy about living happily ever after and neither one all that comfortable yet about driving this monster truck.

And so Esther is driving,{ she is doing most of the driving these days as Jerry is navigating.} So off they go and while they are driving, Jerry gets out the book and he begins to read to her things in the books.

And in this book it is explaining that you must let the air pressure come up, and if this red needle which is riding at 110 now ‘If it ever drops below 60 everything on the bus mechanism will come to a grinding halt’ In other words if they lose the pressure in their air brakes, then this machine will shut down right wherever they are !!

And Esther said “ I would have rather not known that”!!!! ( much group laughter}

And now Jerry is reading a little further and then Jerry is looking at the map and he is saying to Esther. “ You know we are headed for some rather extreme mountains. Maybe we should learn how to shift this thing?”

And Esther said “I thought it was an automatic. I didn’t know I was going to have to shift it”!!!

{Lots of group laughter throughout this whole story}

And Jerry said “Well you probably do not  have to shift it but let me read on here”

And then he is reading that if she pushes on the brakes a great deal,…………..He said “Do you hear that? And Esther said “What” and he said push on the brake a little bit. So Esther pushes on the break and when she lets her foot off the brake the bus goes………..PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Jerry said hear that!! That is the releasing of air. “So if we push on the brake too many times we could lower our air pressure so that we are below that 60 mark. And then the whole thing will come grinding to a halt!!!”

And so Esther is saying “So you want me to go down these mountains without pushing on the brake, is that what I’m hearing from you?”

And Jerry says “No, I think we will use the gear mechanism in order to figure that out” And Esther is saying “Its not easy to steer this monster and now you want me to start pushing button, and pushing gears . !!”

And so now it is still daylight but getting darker and darker. And now it is dark!! And now they see a sign flashing ahead  saying DENSE FOG POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT 7 MILES . And Esther said “Your turn to drive”  [wild group laughter]

So she pulled of at the next stop and Jerry got into the seat. Now this coach has about 6 or 7 hundred miles on it ,on which Esther has driven most of them . But now in the dark……..on a mountain pass Jerry takes his first hand at the wheel.

And they both experienced true terror!!!!

Esther said to herself “ What was I thinking”!!!

He was doing very well, it was that he was tentative in his feeling and Esther could feel what he was feeling . And this road is under construction. There are barricades on both sides of it and their coach when they look in their rear view mirror they are on both lines!!

And the big trucks are passing them very quickly, and each time it blows them a little bit!! And Esther now is thinking for the fist time since I have heard Abraham telling this story of vibrating up this end of the stick. I now have a big one to work on . [group laughter] Because she has never felt greater negative emotion in any moment.

And so now of course. What does strong negative emotion say? It means I have some very powerful desire that I am not a vibrational match to.

So what is her desire? To continue to live in this body!!!! [wild group laughter]

To see another sunrise. To live happily ever after.

And what is her vibration in this moment but the exact opposite of that……………I’m going to die and its going to happen now!!

And so as she felt this horrible feeling within her she knew that her work was to find any thought that felt better.Any thought that feels better. Any thought that feels better.

And so she began saying to herself “Jerry is a very responsible person He never does anything that he does not know he can do. If he did not believe that he could control this thing, he would pull over and bring it to a halt”

And she began to move a little bit up the stick “ He has been driving many more years than I have been driving and he has never had an accident that I am aware of. “

“He is very strong, he has excellent night vision .He wants to live as much as I do.

“Nothing remotely uncomfortable has really happened. All is really well here. Things always go well for us. In all our years together we have never had a close call about anything Our vibration is about well being………….that is who we are.”

And in less than a minute Esther had gone from the end of the stick that we would say was ,dread terror. All the way to the end of the stick {metaphorical measurement] that was absolute well-being.
