About this ebook
Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis speaking languages, accurately recounting things are not demon possessed, but have a recollection of their former life.
He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze and the eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it.
We are people born again and again in overlapping cycles. Each person around us is simply us living in another parallel cycle of time. The population grows because there are more numerous parallel loops as time goes on.
Edgar learns that heaven and Hell are right here on Earth. We make our own destiny every day. What we do to others we do to ourselves in another cycle, of our lives. We truly reap what we sow. Sister Theresa saved millions. Adolf Hitler destroyed millions. In the end we each save or destroy ourselves, sometimes we do it over and over to ourselves.
I am Edgar Pelion and I am home now, enjoying all three Megan’s I have replicated. They are a joy in my life, for now, but once in a while I see them, heads together, speaking in whispers, and looking over at me. I feel a chill. Ancient wisdom speaks to me from the Book of Numbers (Numbers 23:23), but this time the bell tolls for me. Edgar, what hast thou wrought?

PREFACE
This is the story of Professor Edgar Pelion who creates a replicator. He finds more than a way to clone people. He finds proof of a single universal soul. Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis speaking languages, accurately recounting things are not demon possessed, but have a recollection of their former life.
He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze and the eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it.
CHAPTER 1 ALIVE WITH THE JOY
I am Professor Edgar Pelion and much alive with the joy of discovery. I have created a monster of sorts in my lab. Replicating a variety of things has been fun, but useless. The objects only last a few seconds, and then return to the place they came from, wherever that is. I need to be able to duplicate people and have them last. On the surface this seems pretty good, but nature has a way of teaching us not to meddle. This is my story.
It is morning and the window is open slightly.
The dining room window is open, there is a soft breeze and the sun has broken through the lacey curtains and is splashing on the table where I am drinking my morning coffee. A light gust comes through with just a whiff of lilac from the bush outside.
I mutter, You just can’t keep your hands off that flower garden, can you, honey?
Megan, sitting nearby responds softly, I love living things and they are so beautiful.
She stands and walks to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and I’m alone with my thoughts.
The brilliance of the sun plays on the white doily pattern in the tablecloth. Why do I hate the sun? It just seems to be overbearing somehow. The sun is too bright, too hot and always in my face, blinding me. Perhaps it’s because most of my life has been spent in laboratories, and as we call such people in the business of indoor sciences, I’m a lab rat.
I finish my coffee and join Megan in the kitchen. Even after all these years I look at her and the feelings of love come welling forth. How does a man come to deserve so much in return for so little?
Megan is a small woman standing just 5’ 3". She has a shock of blond hair running through the black. This, in contrast with her bright blue eyes drives me with passion even just to look at her. I see her again and again as though for the first time.
Yet, I have another passion that drives me. I am consumed by the love of my work. These two passions do battle inside me creating a tempest in my heart. Two desires tugging at my life. How do I find time in a day to spend enough with both?
I have to go, sweetie!
I shout on my way to the door.
She appears before me, intercepting my departure and throws her arms around my neck. She gazes into my eyes and I am melting inside. I do love her so.
She coyly smiles that innocent little princess smile of hers and says, Can’t you stay for just an hour longer?
I have a class to teach this morning and with an emotional storm front brewing inside of me, I head for work.
Being both a college Professor and a Scientist is one thing, but
