(We discuss how the coercion of our small group here on earth had increased recently with the help of the photon cloud and Kiri suggests ways to avoid desires slipping into our practice. She also offers a suggestion on how to deal with an amateur coercer with more power. The techs give her full control of Mark’s body so she uses it to demonstrate how to return a coercive transmission.) 

---

Kiri: okay.

John: all righty then.

Kiri: already, all righty already.

Russ: so you’re coming down to coerce me huh?

Kiri: I don’t need to come down to coerce you. Actually talking of coercion, Mark’s developing quite well.

Russ: I’ve developed quite well.

Kiri: Johnny’s doing pretty good but the fact remains that…

Russ: what’s going on? I mean why is all of a sudden coercion taking a big jump around here?

Kiri: because it’s necessary.

Russ: well not so much that, remember we were discussing the…

Kiri: photon cloud.

Russ: photon cloud?

John: right.

Russ: and how some abilities are affected and some aren’t? I believe coercion was mentioned as one of the ones that would be affected.

Kiri: yeah.

John: yes it would, definitely

Russ: so if this continues on that same line of thought right?

Kiri: yes exactly.

Russ: but why is it necessary?

Kiri: think about it.

Russ: well I mean….

John: well it’s a good tool…..

Kiri: exactly.

John: I mean coercion is a…..

Kiri: a very useful tool.

John: a very useful tool.

Kiri: depends on how you use it.

Russ: man I'll have to be careful because mine is coming on like gangbusters now. Feels like I've got to control it a lot more than I ever did before.

John: well that’s good though.

Russ: well sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. My control sometimes leads into more personal desires where I have to like slap my ass down.

John: yeah but isn’t that good though, isn’t that beneficial?

Russ: well yes and no. Knowing the fact that....okay, I want to practice it right? But I have my personal desires saying well this is how I’m going to practice it.

John: right.

Russ: so then I have to say no, I don’t want to practice it like that so then all of a sudden my coercion isn't getting any practice. So it’s kind of a catch 22 in that respect.

Kiri: no, you practice with it and the thing to learn is how do you overcome the personal desire, the fact that you want that nice beauty that you were chatting to, how do you stop your coercion from sneaking out and influencing her to be in a more congenial mood?

Russ: tame my hormones.

Kiri: no, you confront the problem, you look at it and you analyze it and see that you can control that urge.

Russ: I did real good last night, I did real good last night, I practiced real well on controlling that urge. So Kiri….

Kiri: yes?

Russ: in regards to Mr. (name edited) and the coercive battles that I know will ensue, tips and strategies my dear?

Kiri: tips and strategies how to deal with an amateur that is more powerful than you.

Russ: yeah. I mean that will make me more powerful but I need tips and strategies to get that part going.

Kiri: okay what you want to do is to avoid confrontation for one thing.

Russ: really?

Kiri: how do you change a coercer’s mind when they want to do something? What you do is you return their probes back to them.

Russ: so that would come back to shielding again.

Kiri: no.

Russ: no?

Kiri: you let the thought into you right? Which means it has to do what? Penetrate your shields so you’re not expending the information within yourselves and you transmit it back to them.

Russ: but what about the concept of concave shielding we discussed at the very beginning of our little sessions?

Kiri: no, that would not work in this case.

Russ: oh it wouldn’t?

Kiri: no.

Russ: oh, sounds good though.

Kiri: uh-huh.

(the tape is stopped to get the tea ready which is heard being poured in the background as it restarts)

John: yeah you're a lot more comfortable in Mark’s body now, a lot more comfortable.

Kiri: yes I’m working on another project in Mark’s body that could be fun and entertaining, something I want to experience. Russell?

Russ: yes that will put you in a unique perspective I would imagine.

Kiri: very unique perspective. Okay, I've got a little thing I've been meaning to try. Okay, I have both Mark’s eyes open.....

Russ: okay.

Kiri: which means that I have full control.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: okay? I can manipulate his abilities and whatever. Now, transmit a coercive thought and I will send it back to you.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: with Mark’s energy added to it and this is what you do.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: okay now think of a thought and I will count down with Mark’s fingers right? And with a hand, I'll go all the way down to one and then that should be the end of the transmission okay? When you're ready......

Russ: okay.

Kiri: five, four, three, two, one transmit. Okay, now did you feel the return?

Russ: uh-huh.

Kiri: right? And you got your thought back plus the energy from Mark.

Russ: yeah, it wasn't overpowering.

Kiri: no. Now if you want me to do that and crank up Mark's ability to where he is at the moment instead of me being nice…

Russ: yes sweetheart.

(Russ laughs from the coercive exercise)

Kiri: see?

Russ: we can go about this all night.

Kiri: yes, I can crank it way up. You want me to crank it full on?

Russ: no, we'll be sitting here going back and fourth and it's going to waste time.

Kiri: no, each time that I think that I've cranked it up as far as it goes, I find that I can crank it up higher.

Russ: right, but me knowing that what you’re trying to do, it's kind of tough anyway.

Kiri: oh yeah that's right and what you can do is, you can tell Mark to return your coercive energy and see how you react. Just tell him to return it, I think he knows how to return the coercive thoughts.

Russ: okay. Well for the main part here I'll need to work on shielding anyway, shielding with a nice mirrored finish.

Kiri: yeah Mark's coercive ability is growing so be warned. And it’s not growing at a slow rate, it is growing in leaps and bounds.

John: yes but all of our coercive power's growing....

Kiri: yeah.

John: but Mark's is growing at a faster rate because he’s a grand-master?

Russ: I don't get it though.....

Kiri: not necessarily.

John: oh okay…

Kiri: it has nothing to do with his grand-master capability as a astral traveler.

John: okay, okay, now I'm glad I brought this up....

Kiri: yeah.

John: because I thought the two would be related but not necessarily.

Kiri: no, no they're not. As a rule, nine times out of ten they're not unless you are a little monster like Leonedies that's a super operant.

(her son with Mark)

John: oh okay, okay. So in that case with being a super operant, they would be related.

Kiri: exactly.
