Time flashed forward to the next lesson. Oli, Evi and Keely still felt the grief from the tragedy of the Titanic. They had an inkling of what it felt like to be a survivor or an ancestor of those who lived or died on the Titanic. Moiré had been programmed to use a compilation of known methods to deal with trauma. The technique allowed Oli, Evi and Keely to become observers, with fewer interactions.

Moiré began her presentation as a documentary. As she narrated, Oli, Evi and Keely had a chance to objectively observe encounters. They witnessed a French woman speaking to two young boys. The Navrati brothers were the youngest survivors. They had been kidnapped by their father who died in the tragedy. They were eventually reunited with their mother in France.

Moiré said, "A name holds some influence in the workings of a mind. The children were called Louis and Lump and cared for by Ms. Margaret Hays before being reunited with their mother. Ms. Hays was with lady friends, a suitor and her Pomeranian dog, Bebe. She recalled inquiring after they hit the iceberg and was told to go back to bed, however she dressed and wrapped the dog in blankets. They boarded lifeboat 7, the first boat prepared, and soon after Bebe had attracted the attention of the two young boys.

"The Hindu Navratri festival occurs during the first nine nights after the new moon following the equinox and solstice. It honours the sacred feminine known as Durga, Lakshmi and Sarasvati. The two Navrati boys, were cared for women after their father died.As it turned out, Navratri’s granddaughter, Michele Montrelay, an opera director, studied the voice of the female in theatre as well as psychoanalysis, and wrote about her uncle and grandfather."

"Names cycle with generations and create associations. Clarence Moore, born in 1865 in West Virginia, was an elite businessman living in Bethesda, Maryland. He died on the Titanic sank, after a trip to shop for foxhounds for the Loudoun Hunt of Virginia instituted in 1905. The Devils of Loudun, a historical narrative of Aldous Huxley set in 17th century France, speaks of the power of hysteria and supposed demonic possession. Instituting a sport to hunt an enclosed fox still evokes hysteria in the masses.

"Clarence Moore of Kentucky is often confused with Clarence Moore, born in 1852, the son of a prosperous father who owned the Paper company and Clara Jessup Bloomfield-Moore. She was a prolific writer and a self-learned scientist, natural philosopher and orthodox and metaphysical religious thinker. She was an advocate of women’s rights and education at a time when women were not permitted to attend university. She anticipated the principles of atomic energy and gender equality. Clara Jessup Bloomfield-Moore was a notable philanthropist and a friend to Robert Browning, the occultist Helena Blavatsky and Queen Victoria.

"Clara Jessup Bloomfield- Moore, a wealthy widow, was said to be the brains behind John Ernst Worrel Keely, a carpenter, mechanic and inventor who applied processes using vibrations, published by Michael Faraday in 1834. He was interested in how sound could harness a force. He constructed the hydro-pneumatic pulsating vacuo-engine that was a combination of the work of a machinists and an artist. Made of brass and copper it was attached to another machine, the liberator, that could tap the latent force of nature using what he called 'the vibratory energy of ether' using musical tones to signal mechanisms.

"He had a silver tongue when he presented and enticed many wealthy patrons to back his invention. Moore obtained finances from wealthy sponsors including John Jacob Astor lV. Keely constructed what he called an etheric generator, that could use musical vibrations to release the latent life force power within atomic matter by the disintegration of air and water. He claimed this could make other forms of power obsolete.

"Moore wrote extensively about the unseen forces that were finally being utilized by many scientists and supported Keely's efforts. Keely was called 'the father of Sympathetic Vibratory Physics'. Using the vibrations of a simple tuning fork or violin as a means to tap into etheric energy, Keely created a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces that was called “sympathetic vibratory physics.

Oli, Evi and Keely were transported to a group of several wealthy owners of mines. They watched rock crumble when Keely's machine carved a tunnel through the Catskill Mountain leaving specks of gold. The etheric force running through a thin wire, was able to lift an iron cylinder weighing hundreds of pounds.

Moiré continued as Oli, Evi and Keely observed a scene where Clara Bloomfield-Moore was speaking to her son Clarence Bloomfield-Moore. "The son had become a distinguished archeologist and explorer and later, the president of the company. His mother had made him feel guilty more than once, saying 'he who careth not whence he came, careth little wither he goeth.' She believed his archaeological endeavours were extravagant and he was irresponsible in his business obligations. Clarence Moore’s inheritance was reduced because of Keely’s work. Clarence considered Keely a fraud on a grand scale because he lacked formal scientific education and proclaimed him to be a swindler and scandalous charlatan.

"Society and awareness dictate what can be understood by science. Negative publicity earned Keely a presence in the narrow tenets of scientific journals. In 1875, the magazine Science said, 'any inventor who pretends to get something out of nothing is a deceiver' and stated that his claims were no more than the mystery of the alchemists of early ages. Many people called his work 'delusions of fraud'. Moore contacted Nikola Tesla, who invented the induction motor, but Keely would not share his techniques, so his ideas could not be supported by scientific evidence. Keely did not create a product to market his findings on what came to be popularized as “zero-point energy” or free energy, insisting more experimentation was needed.

"However, some consider Keely was ahead of his time, anticipating the theory of quantum mechanics. His concepts of how thermodynamics worked did not fit into a protestant ethic of virtue, merit and hard work, and a balanced economy of nature profit and loss, with Calvinist ideas of a transitory world, destined to perish and decay.

"As it turns out, Keely principles hold some credibility. He referred to the concept of the Universe as a force manifesting itself in rhythmical relations through vibrations. There are radiative, focalizing and dominant modes of vibration. Keely suggested that using a rare metal, called radium, would allow vessels to 'ascend and descend'. Radium was not discovered until 1898, the year of his death.

"Fact or fiction depends on how each individual interprets information that floats in the collective mind, the Nous. The Nous can be considered the practical intelligence of an era. Keely predicted the resonance frequency of water that causes dissociation at 42800 Hz. This has since been confirmed to run cars on hydrogen fuels alone since 1966 by Dr. William A. Rhodes, US Patent 3.262.872 and Bob Boyce in 1978.

"Moore used Keely's suggestion that sympathetic radiation vibrations could unite matter and energy, and influence physical phenomenon as a hope to make a better world. Moore used Keely's work to support her beliefs in the indefinable element of the soul. The soul has a neutral centre, without weight. It surrenders to the vortex and allows the forces that are received to guide life’s flow. She believed the soul is the substance and force of all visible and invisible things that make up stellar, solar, planetary and individual molecular mass and can perpetuate its existence in varying forms. The connection between energy, matter and light was in its infancy.

"By around 2013, many people extrapolated data to determine that a neutral centre force created a boson at 125 GeV, from which all things or matter are derived. Energy forms matter in what is now called the Brout-Englert-Higgs field. Although the challenges of finding the boson had scientists referring to it as 'the god-damn particle', it is commonly referred to as "the God particle." The subtle force of this particle, that appears and disappears, creates an energy ebb and flow that, with the alignment of weak interactions, can create matter."

"Clara Bloomfield- Moore’s financial and mentoring assistance gave new life to the ideas of Keely. Moore applied the principles to health, emotion and love. This was the era when their contemporary, Helen Blavatsky, started the theosophical society supporting work that challenged science. It tested past knowledge and the abilities of individuals to harness their power.

Moiré said, "Stories of harnessing a self-luminescence, that is the essence of matter, have been cited by German mystics who called it the 'Weitgeist or Astral light'. Newton believed it could cause bodies to attract and adhere. The Gweillo, the white ghost, a Cantonese slang word for a white westerner who walks in an eastern world, is said to hold a demonic force. Akasha Energy, Cosmic Ether, Chi and other names of the invisible force have been known to create societal change. "

The scene changed. Evi and Oli were in the lifeboat as Moiré narrated. "The sun rose over the mountainous tops of icebergs surrounding the boat, The Carpathia, that had come to the rescue. There was a fairy tale dream landscape. At first, The Carpathia looked like a moving mountain under the glow of a mysterious atmosphere. There was an aurora that made it appear as if it was a virgin forest. From The Carpathia, the lifeboats looked like a scene of Hell described by Dante, and the infernal regions of Charon and the River Lethe described by Virgil.

Moiré explained, "In April 1912, the sunspot cycle was near its minimum, however, data suggest there was a coronal hole event in the sun, with a strong magnetic storm. When high streams of electrified gas hurtle towards Earth and interact with atmospheric gases- glowing green, red, purple and blue- are thought to have simultaneously affected compass readings of the Titanic and Carpathia. The aurora has since been associated with communication problems due to interference with electrical and magnetic signals causing surges and oscillation.

"The aurora coincided with lunar periodicity that also controlled an annual emergence of mating marine phosphoresce phytoplankton that is associated with exploding yellow balls of fire, termed 'gelbstoff', formed of yellow pigment from bacteria within.

"The Carpathia heard the members of the lifeboats before seeing them. The sound of passengers having to slap each other to keep their blood circulating in the brutal cold was heard. Survivors were hauled, in slings, up the steep rocky cliffs of The Carpathia.

"The Carpathia connected myth and reality witnessing the gothic horror for which they are known. There had been a sacrifice of many brave subjects to Zamolxis, the shapeshifting Dacian god of the Carpathian Mountains, who sat on the throne in the caves of Romania. The passengers of the Titanic were thrown into a watery version of the Polovragi caves where the charcoal sketch of a dead man, the 'Grim Reaper' was replaced by bodies, lying face down, in the water. In myth, the water was iron-rich and blood-like, seeping from the ceilings of the Bleeding Vault and oozing into pools called "springs of hope.'

"The Titanic represented the destruction of the dream. Sadly, there were no Polovragi plants that held the power to heal any disease or wound, but perhaps a seed was planted and would grow to guard man against the arrogance of acquiring human knowledge and skills that disregard common sense and lead to operational failures.

"Chaos can alter the speed of time. Intervals expanded and decreased. The Carpathia sailed past pyramids of ice 70 feet high and through waters. The survivors all arrived at Ellis Island with their life’s belongings on their backs, or a blanket. Upon arrival in New York, the mournful tolling of bells rang through the skyscrapers and sobs and cries cut through the intense silence of grief from the losses as the rain fell. Many had lost not only their cardboard suitcases with their life's belongings, but friends and relatives who had found their end in the watery grave."

Moiré appeared in her winged form as the Fairy Godmother. "My name, Moiré, means shimmering water. I see through a fish-eyed lens that is different from the human eye. I have shown you my glimpses through the rippling shimmering waves I saw when looking back in time. Words are symbols that often cannot translate their context within an era. The ideas that were used to create the Titanic and led to its destruction were part of the global wave of that era, churned by spiritual and technological revolutions and social and political changes. The story of the Titanic is indicative of a greater lesson: it is wise to be cautious of what is stated to be an absolute watertight infallible solution. Small details that are easily ignored can create large problems.

"Soon after the sinking of the Titanic, the world moved into the Great War of 1914-191. Many of the large greyhounds of the sea were adopted out by rescue agencies. Many cruise ships were eventually fitted for naval use and transformed to battleships during World War l. They stacked like sardines in the packed channel waters between Southampton and the Isle of Wight, as they were awaiting deportation. The Lusitania sank during the war, losing almost as many as were lost on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic.

"My market chain analysis reveals that information and misinformation are relative to technology available and the brain's capacity to recognize information. Nothing is more addictive than being fed facts that support the reality you want to acquire. Nothing is more threatening than being presented with the facts you want to refuse.

"Scientists over hundreds of years suggested invisible powers could be used. Futurists of the late 1800s suggested electromagnetic drives could be generated by sound frequencies, but their hypotheses and studies were refused. Eventually, however, the idea was pursued, and now variable frequencies eliminate fuel required for deep space and inner space exploration.

"Since 2010, technology such communication has been made available globally, leading many to think they are globally aware and connected. However, many do so in ignorance and with carelessness as profound as that which led to the loss of the Titanic.

"Humans are now both astronauts and internauts exploring the unknown. They now use biofeedback techniques to harness ways to combine and optimize communication between the heart, gut organisms and mind within an individual, and also between life forms on the Earth, using electro-magnetic relationships and induction mechanisms.

"I have been programmed to let you see things at the speed of light, however, technology has changed the appreciation of a moment. The rich can lose millions of dollars in a second while labourers work ten hours to bring home 50 dollars a day. Simple pleasures from preparing anything from the ambiance of a home or food have changed. Much of the public favours the manufacture of fast food or furniture that is previously- prepared, conforming to values equated with style that reflect prepackaged ideals of money and pleasure.

"My assignment is to help you solve problems you have never seen before. I have done my best to compress random photons and rotate planar projections to establish patterns that might provide you with insight. I have explored algorithms using augmented connections, made with conceptual, physical and perceptual parameters perceived by what I can measure of how your nervous system is processing information.

"I have combined the foundations of the information age with computational and robotic systems to alter digital systems that help your nervous system connect to the world which I have compressed into a spiralling vortex so you can see beyond your senses. My findings suggest that the use of these passive, generative and intuitive probabilities has maximized the results. I believe I have matched your optimal physical manifestations to solutions found in nature.

"Sharing the pinnacle of my synthetic abilities and generative programs should improve your precision and decision-making and enhance your human ability to live wisely and sustainably. I do hope these might help you discover hidden objects in a 3-D world with an ability to project with 4-D capabilities. Session ended."

Moiré was decommissioned. Once again she had layered messages within her stories and holographic projections. Having the opportunity to observe without as much interaction and associative emotional response had helped Oli and Eva and Keely objectively evaluate the experience.

Oli first offered his summary. “These few stories about the Titanic hold so much information. Looking back, I first felt doubt in the morals and values of humanity, then anger that greed had led to this situation. Then I felt I had best apply compassion and forgiveness for ignorance, and the ugly side of humanity that appears when there is fear. Now I realize that Moiré has directed us as best as her machine mind can. I am glad we are human and like to think we are able to interact with an unknown force that she cannot quantify. She reminded me that technology is just a tool, and that we need to listen to our own humanity."

Keely spoke. "I cannot help but wonder if the real lesson of the Titanic is to recognize how many often compete with each other. Humanity often wants to exploit opportunities in nature. What I found most interesting is that when mankind works with nature, it can transform what might be considered a bogus hoax into reality."

Finally, Evi spoke. "I am pleased that Moiré's program incorporated my concerns. She performed her function to find a common ground for teaching and interaction. I very much appreciate how Moiré just presented random facts, and it is up to us to learn the lessons. Being immersed into so many scenes of one short period of time, during the night that the Titanic sank, made me realize that each person has to do the best with what they know, and live with the consequences when they fail. Hopefully, our experiences will help us think clearly, with reason and discernment, and balance, and do our best to avoid or deal with unknown situations when they arise."

With the session concluded, Oli, Evi and Keely carried on with their day. Keely worked on constructing a paddle wheel for a collapsible dinghy, Oli started making supper and Evi began to prepare the topic of their next learning session.
