Lion, Tiger, Bear | 217 training women ferry pilots and mechanics by the score. Call Beverly Hills, Tremont 5467 collect, Ava Gardner. Shell round up the poolside gals, whispered Bea. Alice hissed: How did you get that private number? Pssh! Gwafa shook his head. ‘There is too much anger and confusion in this war, too many lies and deceptions. Nothing is as it seems. Agreed. Bernie reached into his haversack and gave him a book. In addition, some wisdom from the wise man Averroes; itll help. I want you three to review it all during our trip. Otherwise.. .we may all go mad with frustration, disillusionment, confusion, and fury, gossip or no gossip. Wisdom and esoteric knowledge on the fly arent easy or efficient, but we must bend our intellects to the grindstone. Try to get a firm grip on all of this stuff, the big-picture from high up, thats why were going to climb this pebble here. Whaty asked Alice. Bea looked up at the crumbling magnificence before her. No way in hell Im climbing this sunbaked crumbling biscuit. And yet, have to say, these piles are quite the impressive engineering achievement. Imagine the world they inhabited all those millennia ago when these parts were green and lush, canals and moats gushing with water. Priests and initiates inside travelling Astrally sky-high on opiated Lotus blossom tea, loads of electrical power for everything conceivable, fertile plains of crops to the horizon, a utopian paradise perhaps. Its all.. .a bit sad really. Bernie touched a foundation stone, hoping for some sort of divine wisdom to rush through his arm. They remind me of a haunting sight years ago, rusting steam tractors and old mining equipment in the Rockies, derelicts of a lost age dissolving slowly in a green desert of tall grass and aspen trees. Gwafa looked up. An engineering and mathematical achievement beyond imagination for so long ago. How was it done? Acoustic levitation I think, said Bernie. Electromagnetic power most likely relayed by large obeliskslightning rods and antennas if you willwere probably used to power soundwave drills and saws. In effect, they had power tools, iron, and hard alloys. A simple type of antigravity papyrus mat for moving stonesjust a tap of the long tuning forks and away you go. These scepters split huge blocks if they knew exactly where to place them, and the forks created standing waves from the tines, they even used
