God Above: Beyond Reality

By Duane Andry

It is said that space is the final frontier, but there is another. In many ways the two are related. Mankind on earth has yet to fully explore the actual final frontier. Indeed, mankind does not fully realize that it truly exists. Mankind is content with postponing the evaluation of this frontier, but the frontier is about to come to man and introduce itself. Its initial introduction came to the human, Andre.

As a result of the introduction of a new kind of reality, Andre has embraced this reality and he is about to embark on a journey into the true final frontier. This frontier is beyond space, and even beyond time. Andre has opened his mind to a quest that will only be completed when he is introduced to the God Above.

Accompanying Andre is a select group of individuals from two different worlds. Their assignment is to merge the best from these two worlds, with a mysterious mix of another, somewhat mystical, component that is not of either one. This is the quest that will take him to a point that is Beyond Reality.

Duane Andry

Let's see, I guess I have to include the obligatory mention of my name, so here it is: my name is Duane Andry. Hi! Okay, there is a missing piece; actually my full given name is Duane Alexander Andry. Other missing pieces that may, or may not, be of interest are my education and the life's journey I took to reach this point. Neither of those will be mentioned here because they are a book unto themselves (or more). The thing that is included is my reason for presenting this and other works to you. The easiest way for me to tell you that is to borrow from Scripture, as recorded in the Bible, King James Version, for the central part of my biography. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16-18 Lest you think that it is contradictory to set a price on the book, let me prevent that thought from taking root. This book is not forced on anyone, by either shrewd marketing, or by personal public pronouncement. Rather, the acceptance of this book, at the price that is requested from the various distributors, is dependent on you sharing your assets with me, as in the fashion of the following Scripture. Thank you. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Philippians 4:15-16 As a part of my biography, I have been infused with the challenge to incorporate other souls in the mission of true Christianity, as a sub-operation of service to the Living God. Yes, this is the same Living God that is described in the pages of the Bible, both Testaments. Yes, these Testaments have some things that are contradictory to the curious mind. No, the Testaments are not contradictory to themselves; but rather, they are progressive in the channeling of me, and the rest of mankind, to a greater understanding of why we evolved from God. My calling is to open the doors to this understanding, so that you will not fall into the negative category that the apostle Peter described in the following statement. Instead, it is my prayer that you both demonstrate and accentuate the positive portion. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:14-16 Since my actions are my biography, it is my pleasure to ask you to become a part of my biography, as we both go forward, in the LORD God. Let us learn from the things of the past, to enhance the future, as we press to live according to the mission of the apostle Paul, as he pressed to live according to the calling of the one who is referred to as the Son of God and as the Christ. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Philippians 3:13-15

Foreword

He is both a curious and a peculiar being, this person who stands at the center of his lawn on this early spring morning. He often finds himself standing there. Some think that he might actually be trying to see the grass grow. This is not at all far-fetched, considering the sort of person that he is. We said; he is both a curious and a peculiar being. This is what isolates him from others; and this is what attracts others to him.

His curious side is not anything much different from any child on this earth. Though, here is one thing that is both different and obvious: he is anything but a child, physically. He is, however, still very much a child in his spirit, and in his mind. He wants to know everything. He wants to see everything. He turns at the slightest sound, and evaluates both the source and the reason.

It is not enough for him that a bird sings; he wants to know why it sings. He wants to know what it is trying to say. He wants to know to whom it is reaching out. Is the bird trying to shoo off some potential attacker; such as, the human standing there, listening to it? Is the bird signaling his family that it has discovered a cache of food? Or, is the bird singing to God? What is that bird doing?

This is only one of the examples of the curious nature of this man. There are many, many more. And yet, with all the pent up questions—the whys, the whats, the whens, the whos—he does not consider himself to be different from anyone else. Actually, that is not really true. You see, he really doesn’t see himself at all. No, this is not an identity crisis. It is simply that he really doesn’t like to take time to pay attention to himself.

There are so many other things that must be understood. And there is so little time—as far as he is concerned—to do so. Oh, don’t worry; when he must think about himself; such as, when he is sick, or when summoned by someone to do something, he can do that—sometimes. But even then, he really doesn’t stop to spend more than the smallest amount of time possible on that. So much to do! This is his curious side.

Then, there is his peculiar side; sometimes, however, it is really difficult to separate the curious from the peculiar. The actions that come out of each of his sides are often similar, and sometimes the same. We say that he is peculiar because he just didn’t get the news about conformity. Political correctness is something that is having a hard time sinking into his nature. Indeed, most of the time he is politically incorrect. (Whether this is by accident, or by design, is a matter for conjecture.) This causes him to not fit in—often.

Where others go to gatherings, to meet with the people; he goes to watch the people. Thus, he will hardly, ever, spontaneously speak to anyone. Therefore, it not known whether his social skills are really tiny, or just suppressed. This is not a matter of his childhood development—he did live a somewhat normal childhood. Well, maybe not so normal, but we won’t get into that; after all, he was only a child, then. Or, was he?

Some of the folks that knew him as a child are convinced that, other than in the very early years of his life, this curious and peculiar being has always been a man. His family and associates are of the opinion that at some point in his middle childhood, he decided that he had practiced enough for adulthood, and so he just made a quantum leap to it. Well anyway, now he is in his certifiable adulthood, according to the calendar. And now it is obvious that he is peculiar.

But why do we say that the curious and the peculiar sometimes become obscured? Take the example of standing on the lawn. He might be watching the grass grow out of curiosity, or he might be attempting to cause it to grow, by an act of his will. He has been known to think of some rather weird thing about the potential of humans. The boundaries that others accept as natural (such as, that man cannot make grass grow), he views as only temporary.

After all, he says, we do only use a fraction of our full brain’s capabilities. What could we humans do if we were able to use if fully; or at least, more than we do now? Are there really limits to what mankind could do with this unlocked potential?

No, he doesn’t have a God-complex; nor does he have a god-complex. He is just peculiar—reaching through all possibilities that can be understood. Maybe this comes from his incessant Bible reading. Maybe it’s because he read about those folks who stopped rain from falling for years, folks who seemingly willed people to health, folks who swayed crowds of their enemies to accept them, and who did all those other peculiar things that are written about in the Bible.

Maybe it’s because he read about that man Jesus, who did things, according to the Bible, like walking on water and raising dead folk. In any case, he does believe that there is a God, and he does want to push the limits of mankind beyond where it is. He feels that there is more that God expects out of mankind than even mankind knows. He has this feeling, which you can call belief, telling him that God is poised to excite the human race to a level beyond any that even he, in his most curiously peculiar moment, could ever imagine. Maybe it’s time!

In any event, he wants to be ready to receive the mental push that can come from being at the right place, at the right time. Just as they say in real estate sales: he feels that sometimes it is a matter of location, location, and location. He is constantly pushing his mind to be in the right location when the word comes down from God, saying that it is truly time for powerful action. He wants to be there when the evidence comes forth that it has started. And he definitely wants to be a part of that action.

He may shun the gatherings of men; but, the gathering in the time for powerful action is one that he will be a part of. To borrow from the church song, with a slight modification, he repeats to himself, "I will be in that number when the saints go marching home." But for him, home is not just limited to Heaven. He sees the saints marching home right here in this physical place. This is when he wants to be totally ready; if he is still alive.

His name is Andre, and he has spent most of his life in a search for something. This search has taken him to so many places; both in the world, and in the mind. Each of these places was as real as the other.

Such a strange person: such a singular being.

But he really doesn’t see himself as different from most other humans. Indeed, as he looks at the world he sees many who have used their skills much more than he has used his. Sometimes, he feels ashamed that he has not done more for the world. This, however, is about to change. His life and his circle of activity are about to be drawn into the greatest quest of all mankind.

It is said that space is the final frontier, but there is another; in many ways the two are related. Andre is about to embark on a journey into the true final frontier beyond space, and even beyond time. Andre has opened his mind to a quest that will only be completed when he is introduced to the God Above.

1 Kings 8:27

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

SKU-000506021_TEXT.pdf

A curious person;

An interesting man:

Trying to live

As best he can;

Searching for meaning

To guide his life,

In a world of fear

And constant strife.

Yearning to be prepared

For whatever may come;

Grabbing for meaning,

But feeling quite dumb.

A square peg

Trying to fit in:

With only round holes,

Where does he begin?

He is pressed on all sides

To join in the race;

But, fiercely determined

To set his own pace.

Living a life

Of quiet desperation;

Moving toward

An obscure destination:

He seeks the answer

That will explain it all;

The final solution;

The last great call:

The words that will

Each ones fear subdue,

Filling this world

With all things new.

Introduction

There is an organization that is probably the only one in a position to accomplish one of the greatest changes that has ever occurred in the history of mankind. I know this sound like a trite and overbearing thing to say about anyone or anything, but it’s true. We will demonstrate the truth of this statement, as we explain the nature of this collection of functions that is called simply, The Organization.

The first mission of The Organization (which we’ll call by the name, TO, for short) is to watch. Yes, I know the word watch is not a very clear thing to say about the function of any organization. Questions come up like these: Watch what; Watch who; Watch where; and so on. All of these are valid questions, and all of them fit TO.

TO was created to watch anything, everyone, and everywhere; and whatever else there is that it can evaluate. It has no set limitations; nor does it have any set responsibilities. However, TO is not required to report its findings to anyone; nor is it required to respond to anyone, specifically. On one hand, TO may respond to anyone it chooses to. On another hand, TO may respond to no one, if it decides to do that. Its charter is to watch; not, to do, necessarily.

TO can, however, do pretty much whatever it considers necessary, in addition to watching. Of course, TO stays within the bounds of legality in the country in which it is operating (somewhat) when it does do whatever it does. Though, it has no specific national allegiance, and it is not a part of any multi-national group.

TO is an entity unto itself, with its own funding sources, and its own properties; at least, I think it owns properties. I have some confusion about its property because there is no listed ownership for TO. Though, as far as I know, TO does not move from place to place. It is just that there are no records of property owned in the name of The Organization. But we will visit one of its locations; which when they take me there, I won’t know where I am, so I won’t be able to tell you where I’ve been.

There is one other thing about TO that you need to know. I said before that TO’s charter is to watch; not, to do. This is not a restrictive charter, since TO cannot really be restricted by anyone. By this logic and by actual fact, TO is a self-policing organization, and the authorization to be self-policing was certified by just about every country on the earth. At least, I think it has authorization from just about every country; there are no documents to confirm this.

There it is again, that confusion. This arises because, since TO isn’t chartered to do anything, there is no need for it to get permission to perform any of the operations which it might do, since in a sense it doesn’t do anything; but watch, that is.

Forgive me for rambling, but every time I try to talk about TO, I start to get very confused. Even after all these years, I still have questions about TO. For instance, if TO only watches; then, so what that it watches? Why do they just watch? What do they hope to see? What can be done with whatever it is that is seen? Is this information ever used, or is it just cataloged? Is the information readily available to anyone in particular, or is it open to everyone, generally? Or, is it available to no one, at all? What is it that they do, other than watching?

And there are so many other questions. We may find some answers by looking more closely at the resources of TO.

TO has a very important resource that has not, to this date, been fully used. This important resource is about to become very important for the world. TO has among its staff (yes, TO does have a staff) some of the brightest of all humans in the world. These folk are not the kinds that appear in any registries of the intelligentsia. These are the hidden geniuses of the world. They are the kinds of people who seek information for information’s sake. For them, it is not necessary that the information have a function; only, that it exists. Thus, because TO has such a concentration of information, along with a high concentration of intelligence; there is nothing that it could not do, if it chose to do it. This is what empowers TO’s operations, at a global level.

You might say that there is no government that is bold enough to test TO’s hand. This might be because each government knows that if TO chose to, it could cripple them. It would not be necessary for TO to destroy the government; it could just brings forces into play—economic, aquatic, climactic and geologic—that would cripple any country at which they were directed. Thus, even though TO is not chartered to do anything, it can do anything.

It is widely believed—and probably correctly so—that TO has full dominion over the earth, and over all its resources. This will soon be tested in a big way; but not on the earth. Oh, did we forget to mention that TO also has full mastery of aeronautics and space; or at least, as far as any human thing can wield that kind of power. Well, maybe even beyond that; because maybe TO isn’t a human thing at all, huh?

But, why have we told you about this organization? We have told you about it because, as we said before, there are events that will shortly come to pass, and that will push even TO to its limit; and then, somewhat beyond. But more important than that; we told you this because Andre is on the staff of TO. But don’t think that he’s among those super-brains (I know him, and I know better than that). Andre is just an average person, but one that has a unique skill. It is this skill that is of most use to TO in what is about to happen.

You see, Andre has the ability to really read people. And in TO’s mission, to watch, a skill such as the one Andre has is very instrumental in collecting information. Some have even thought that he has the ability to read minds. But, of course we know that this is impossible. No human can do that. However, he does have the ability to sit very quietly among a group of individuals, and pick out character information, just by observation.

TO did tests his accuracy by using some members of their staff, and he had a 98% accuracy rate on deciphering feelings and motivations. This is an extremely helpful reading between the lines skill that is greatly needed by TO. He is, however, as are all humans, subject to mood glitches of his own. (This is probably why he only has a 98% accuracy rate, rather than 100 %.) Sometimes he gets hit by a wave of emotion that clouds his perception. But, as you see, Andre’s mood glitches have only a slight impact on his core skill.

So, these two forces, Andre and TO, have been brought together for a time that is just on the horizon. Both TO and Andre are about to meet the incident that will stretch their abilities. TO will have more to watch than it ever thought it would. Andre will have more things to evaluate than has ever been done by any single human; other than that one that they talk about that is of that time, long ago, in Nazareth. However, the word is that the man of Nazareth wasn’t really just a human. There are some hints that he had some extraterrestrial connections that allowed him to do things beyond any that had ever been done. But, of the current crop of organizations and humans, TO and Andre are just about the strangest; therefore, they are the best ones suited for what is about to occur.

Well, I guess you have enough information about what is happening on the earth, for you to prepare for what is to come. Do you think that it’s time for an introduction to what happened that makes these two so newsworthy? Well, we will start the discussion in just a moment.

Stay tuned—please.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

An organization so bizarre

That it is hard to say

Just what it does,

From day to day.

Its mission is

To simply observe;

To gather information

To hold in reserve;

Which at some time

It will choose to bestow

On someone unknown,

Who needs to know.

With massive resources,

And an elite band;

Creating opportunity

Upon their command.

Not controlled by any,

Maybe not even itself;

With unlimited reach

And boundless wealth.

But even this

Will seem quite small

When the signal comes

In that great call

From forces beyond;

With a voice most clear,

Discretely whispering

For only it to hear:

"TO, move mankind,

In rapid flight;

TO, flow with haste,

As a thief in the night".

Chapter One

It Appears

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, there was a brilliant light in the western sky.

Andre was rising to go get some coffee when it happened.

Andre, you better see this, said Roland, it looks really serious.

Well, it’ll have to wait, I want some coffee, came back the reply.

Let me be clear about this, Andre. You’ve got to see this, Roland almost shouted, with the sound of desperation in his voice. "It’s a priority communication from the data center. It seems that things just went crazy over there.

Okay, let’s see it. Probably just some system failure that they don’t have a procedure for…

The sound of Andre’s voice trailed off, as he looked at the screen. There was a really brisk (Roland says that it is both serious and wonderful) display of words and data. In just under two minutes of elapsed time, the data center had just received links from over ten thousand government systems, representing more than one hundred different top and middle tier nations of the world. The other nations were hooking in at a slower, but still brisk, pace. The systems that were interacting with TO in this stream covered every continent in the world, and just about every nook in every continent. There were even feeds from orbiting satellites, and other space based stations. The streams were coming in so fast that all emergency backup data storage modules had been placed online.

To assist in handling the flow, sixteen vendors were given the requirements for immediate access to their disaster sites, in remote, highly secured locations. Only about ten of them could handle it immediately, but the other six were scrambling to bring the encryption system online. Actually all they were allowed do was provide a pathway for TO to establish the link. Only TO could bring its encryption system online; and even then, these ancillary systems only handled a fraction of the encryption protocol, starting at the ninetieth level.

The auxiliary computer systems of the vendors, which were storing the overflow data, were actually storing highly encrypted data that had already passed through the first eighty-nine levels of encryption. TO took care of the first eighty-nine levels, in an, as yet, undisclosed fashion. What TO needed from the auxiliary systems was a large—a very large-amount of computing capacity for the remaining fifty-one levels, and a much larger amount of information storage capacity for the intensely compressed information.

The stream that was flowing as a result of this incident was so important that all of the analysts that were currently on duty at TO were locked to their desks, analyzing the data. The emergency procedures were in full force. The cafeteria drones were preparing meals of every type for the staff at the complex. They would deliver whatever food was needed for the time that each person was there. Calls had already been placed for certain critical analyst to get there, ASAP. It was a very well organized madhouse.

What do we do with all this, Roland asked Andre. "We don’t have the staff to analyze this amount of information. We’ve got more than six hundred governmental agencies asking for answers, and we’ve only got three hundred folks in house, and another
