NEWCOMER

She had just arrived and was already forgetting. With each wobbly step in her new body she was pulled deeper into the illusion and the deeper she went the more difficult it was for her to remember where she had come from and what she was doing in this place. She had known about the difference in energy densities but that knowledge did little to prepare her for the rapidity with which that difference obscured her deeper knowing.

It seemed so real.

Her arrival was a tad unusual; some would even say unorthodox. The normal way of entering space-time was by way of a black hole created by the convergence of two complementary perturbations that attracted a wave manifesting as an infant appearing to evolve slowly in a womb of the perceptually activated space-time dimension. The cavity of convergence provided a relatively safe transition during which a being could slowly embody and get used to its space-time suit for the journey through this dimension.

But that method, cumbersome and slow, was lethal when it came to recollection of the continuity across dimensions. In no time at all, a newly emerging space-time being lost all memory of itself beyond the temporary clutter of its space-time suit, a circumstance she preferred to avoid if she could. Get in and get out before gravity's grip becomes inescapable and the exit is as painfully slow and messy as the more typical arrival.

The temporary confusion notwithstanding, because of the flexibility it offered, she preferred spontaneous emergence. Another little wave from God's big wave machine generating rhythms in the life dance, reconfiguring a small weave in the background fabric, which, upon entry, easily and spontaneously repairs itself. Enter one more human that nobody knows was not here just a snap of a finger ago. In this manner of entry, the combination of soul and space-time energies manifested as an adult human being. Once fully entered, there was, very simply, no way of knowing. Emergence always occurred at a wave frequency that synchronized with the ambient preoccupation of the local populace. Or, in extenuating circumstances, it occurred in settings that were remote and thereby removed from the possibility of observant eyes. The challenge in spontaneous emergence was adjusting to the space-time suit. She would have preferred to travel without one, but that was impossible. If she wanted to function as a human in space-time, then she would have to manifest with the same physical limitations. Unfortunately,
