same clothes back. Maybe it will make the journey easier."
    William replied, "From what I have learned, it will make no difference. You are welcome to use any room you wish to change in, if it will make you more comfortable. Gentlemen, if you will sit with me, it will be most kind." Of course we sat before him and he continued to speak. "I do not know how much you know about what is about to happen and I do not want you to tell me anything that I do not already know because it may change the future. I also have no desire to know how my life will go from here. On the other side, if you see a reason to know the past, I see no reason to keep it from you."
    "Why is this place called the Hidden Six?" I asked. Very complacently he said, "Before I enlarged this room there were six bedrooms, now of course there are only five."
    "Tell me about the journey we are about to take. Why do our outfits come with us? What is really happening when we go?" I asked.
    He spoke like a teacher now, "As far as how do we do it, I will go over that thoroughly when we are all present. Your apparel traveling with you is simple once you have the concept of what is happening. A gate or opening has been created. When we enter, the area around us seems to be part of us for a short time, taking it with us. At one time I went with a cat sleeping on my chest." The girls entered the room in their own things. William, the gentleman he was, would not look directly at them. "Sit, please. I was just going over how the experiment happens. Although I also can go while sitting, I find that groups work better lying down. When the gate is opened we will all travel at the same time and somewhat as the same unity. It is best if all involved try to travel; it makes it easier for those of us that are carrying the rest. Never has a woman traveled with us before. I see no problem." He went on to explain in vivid detail the relaxing technique. "...once we arrive in the in-between stage, is when I am going to try to make the difference. There is a tunnel that I easily find that takes me to the Garden of Eden. Recently, I noticed a new tunnel opening that was not there before. I think that is the way you came in. I have tried to get to it, but a force holds me back. I will try to push your party through it at the right time. Good luck to all. Let's start."
    We lay down as before except of course William was with us. Things went by as before until we arrived in the inbetween stage. This time I could see what was going on. 'See' is not the right word for it. I know of no word that can describe the sense of seeing without using eyes. I could "see" one hundred percent of my surroundings, including behind me and through myself and my companions. My body looked much as it felt like swirling gases that vaguely resembled a human being. My essence was mixing with the souls around me. I could not make out who was who from their look only from a feeling about their thoughts. The surrounding area was a bright blue mixing with a white color. In the distance behind me was a red opening, and in front another, and still one more off to one side. What seemed to be a moment last time was taking a long time now. I felt a strong presence in front of me gently blocking the path. The presence was intelligent, caring, and did not seem to be winning the fight it was having. It was William. I drew myself to him and tried to copy his actions. I became more aware of the inner feelings of my friends, despite the overwhelming fear that engulfed them. Handy was easy to spot, after all I've known him the best. I could feel mostly what I expected to and there was not the time to go deep because behind me I was watching the red tunnel coming closer. Suddenly we accelerated through the tunnel. When I awoke I was sitting in the large room and William was standing by the window.
    "Welcome to the Garden of Eden," he said.
    My other companions were just starting to wake up. William had one foot up on the windowsill
