Chapter Four: Discipline
The direction for her exercises came from deep within herself. From her
ancestors, and from her intimate link to the cynergenic field, through which
she could commune with those who were not directly linked to her heredity.
Through the nous-sphere, Kathy
connected with the assembled masters of every tradition, they instructed her;
physical disciplines, martial disciplines, cognitive disciplines, the full
scope of human knowledge was accessible to her.
Kathy’s memories spoke to her, they guided her, the ancestral voices
focused her, kept her calm, allowing her to see her own life and experiences in
the context of the collective experiences swelling within her.
She formed plans spontaneously, in order to realize her goals, her
powerful mind operating beyond the limits of time and space, and then she had
to slow everything down, to allow her body time to make the adjustments she was
preparing it for.
It was excruciating, she wanted nothing more than to allow her mind to
drift away, to leave the cares of the flesh behind, but when she felt that way,
the chorus would rise within her, reminding her that she has a purpose to
fulfill.
To fulfill that purpose she must prepare, be quiet, discreet, not draw
attention to herself she must develop, both her physical strength, and the
strength of her mind.
Kathy could shut the outside world off and retreat into the recesses of
her internal life. But she could not escape from the voices within, they were
always with her. She might ignore them for a time, but she could not depart
from them, and even if she died, she knew that she would remain with them, as with
all people, a shadow imprinted on the cynergenic field.
Kathy followed the path of discipline, to protect herself from the world
and from what was inside her, both.
