AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS, Phil came across the same scene again when the elevator doors opened. He saw the jagged, desolate and somehow forbidding silhouette against a red sky. Apparently his subconscious thought it was time for him to face that life and it kept allowing glimpses of it to sneak into the sessions. This time he decided to get off the elevator and enter the scene. To explore it and find out what there was about it that bothered him. He had already learned that if he was not comfortable with something he saw, that I allowed him the option to retreat. This gave him a feeling of secu- rity even in such an alien environment. Thus he allowed himself to step into the scene and was immediately overcome by a feeling of great sadness. He described what he saw. It's windy ... sandy and dusty. I feel it and see it. The sky is some- what reddish-orange tinted. I'm standing outside a spacecraft There's aclearing where we landed. I'm looking at the spire. It's to my right I had thought from his first description of this scene that it did not sound like anyplace on Earth. It had a definite other-worldly flavor to it Now with his mention of the spacecraft Iwas certain that he was seeing a past life when he lived away from Earth. At last it appeared I would get my wish to explore other worlds. CHAPTER 2 THE LOST COLONY
