Q: Yes but that has always been the situation. Why now would it change?
MA: Oh there is that question isn't there. I have spent the last few years teaching you the very best science and understanding that we have on this subject and now we come to a departure in that protocol. Are you certain you would like to go in that direction?
Q: I have worked for a long time, changed the direction of career and will forever be incomplete if I do not. So the short answer is yes.
MA: Then perhaps we better have a cocktail.
Q: Thought you would never ask....
Mother Abigail set about to make our favorite afternoon delights. Being that it is winter I prefer Crown on the rocks and MA normally has Frangelico and tea.
I have been building to this conversation for the last two days and now I feel we are about to go into the arena that MA has, thus far, excluded me from.
The afternoon has drifted away but the fire is warm and I yearn to be back in that odd place that I drift into when she is so spellbinding with her discussion.
MA: One thing before we continue. You need to draw a line between our prior conversations and this one. All the information and discussion prior to this has been as accurate and documented as is humanly possible. There are things that could change tomorrow, but I have tried to be fair and scientific in my presentations to you. Do you understand that?
Q: Sure MA, I will do just as you ask but I believe that everyone knows by now that what your thesis is well founded in science and I have never had one person dispute the data that you have laid out.
But it is going to be different now isn't it?
MA: Yes, very different.
Q: Good.
Q: You see things don't you?
MA: No. I simply have hunches, premonitions and occasionally I know about future events. "See" is the wrong verb, feel would be closer to the truth.
Q: Did you "know" about SARS?
MA: I would say it was a very strong premonition. I am always watching for outbreaks and when I heard the first little blip about the "unknown pneumonia" in China it gave me that feeling that this was serious and would grow to be dangerous. "Knowing" is a bit different.
Q: Are you ever wrong?

MA: Oh sure, sometimes the hunches turn out different than what I originally thought, sometimes the premonitions have little twists or permutations that I did not imagine.
Q: And the "knowing"?
MA: No, when the feeling is that strong the events are normally coming. It is hard to explain, but you just know something. And child I assure you that I am not alone in this talent. Many parents can tell you that they just know something about their children. Certain gamblers make unusual bets and then explain that they just knew X Y or Z was going to win.
This intuitive nature of our species is what I have been trying to teach you about when we speak of increased perceptual ability. This "fourth dimensional perception" is real and evolving.
Q: And you know about HIV?
MA: Yes, very much so.
Q: When did you first know and what was it that you felt?
MA: I knew from the first day we discovered it was a virus. And, in truth, perhaps even a bit before that announcement - because I had been looking for such an event. My entire life I have had this strong premonition that in my lifetime we would see a virus arise that would dramatically change our species. That feeling led me to science in school, medicine in college and Virology in practice. It has always been with me and remains today.
At first it was just the overall idea that such an event was upcoming, but as the years progressed and I became more mature, the details have filled in and I am left with a "knowing" that is fairly complete and has been coming to pass before my old eyes.
Q: Did it bother you?
MA: Why no, it is part of what I am. Just a little section of my mind that occasionally reminds me that there are dark clouds on the horizon.
I was fully content to sit in this wonderful chair and hope that I would be wrong on the outcome, but almost certain that I would not. That was of course before God sent you to the cabin at the Lake.
Q: MA, with all due respect, I don't think God sent me to your cabin.
MA: Oh really. Perhaps one day you will look back on the events that led you to my garden that afternoon and have a different opinion. But as for me, it was obvious that here - in your desire to write about me - was the perfect opportunity to try and do something different than just carry the knowledge to my grave. Also it was apparent that, for some reason, it was time.
Q: Time for what?
MA: Oh, for many things. If you were sitting in my garden with a pen and paper, then it was time to tell the story as I see it. And if it was time to tell that story - then there must be a need for that information.
Q: Do you mean that you feel we can stop this coming wave?
MA: No, as I have explained, that wave has already washed over this world - but there are some things that still might be done to help those who are watching.
