160 DATE WITH THE GODS
books and other related material on astral travel and
UFOs. They sent me Raymond Drake's Gods and Spacemen
in the Ancient West. After reading this book, just as Rama
had said, I no longer believed it was impossible that she
could be from another world. The book gave so much
detailed information corresponding to my experiences
with Rama that I couldn't wait to get back to the Andes
Mountains and talk to her again. I had a lot of questions
and I wanted answers.
On Friday, August 9th, at about 5:30 in the afternoon,
I got into my rented car and drove back to Acaya. I felt
very tired and somewhat depressed, so I went straight to
bed. The next morning, I had breakfast and, since it was
Saturday, I had to wait in line for my turn to get into the
baths. To my surprise, Rama was already there, waiting
for me.
"How did you know I was there?"I asked, even though
I already knew the answer.
"Well, I always do. I sense your coming. Remember,
I'm very close to your thoughts. I know your intentions.
Since yesterday afternoon you've been thinking about
coming here. And you were brooding over your luck in
Peru."
"How did you know all this was going to happen? You
knew I was going to have to stay in Peru, that my
supervisor was coming to Lima, that we were going to
have this mess. How did you know about the political
situation? You accurately forecasted the future! It's
difficult for me to believe you did it."
"You keep forgetting what I'm telling you about the
Third Force. I not only sensed your feelings, your
reasons for coming here, and when you would be here, I
was also able to sense the intentions and thinking of the
people around you."
"How could you sense the intentions of our Peruvian
investors? How did you know they were a bunch of
schmucks?"
