“What are you thinking about?” I asked after a period of silence.

Father Sanchez slowed the truck and looked at me. “I’m thinking about Cardinal Sebastian, about what you have said: that he would stop fighting the Manuscript if only he could be made to understand.”

As Father Sanchez made this statement, my mind wandered into a daydream of actually confronting Sebastian. He was standing in a courtly room looking down at us. At that moment he had the power to destroy the Ninth Insight and we were fighting to make him understand before it was too late.

When I finished the thought, I noticed Sanchez was smiling at me.

“What were you seeing?” he asked.

“I was just thinking of Sebastian.”

“What was happening?”

“The image of confronting Sebastian was clearer. He was about to destroy the last insight. We were trying to talk him out of it.”

Sanchez took a deep breath, “It looks like whether the rest of the Ninth Insight becomes known will depend on us.”

My stomach drew into a knot at the idea. “What should we say to him?”

“I don’t know. But we must persuade him to see the positive, to understand that the Manuscript as a whole doesn’t negate but clarifies the truth of the Church. I’m sure the rest of the Ninth Insight does just that.”

We rode in silence for an hour, seeing no other traffic of any kind. My thoughts raced through the events which had transpired since I’d come to Peru. I knew the Manuscript’s insights had finally merged in my mind into one consciousness. I was alert to the mysterious way my life evolved, as revealed by the First Insight. I knew that the whole culture was sensing this mystery again as well, and we were in the process of constructing a new world view, as pointed out by the Second. The Third and Fourth had showed me that the universe was in reality a vast system of energy and that human conflict was a shortage of and a manipulation for this energy.

The Fifth Insight revealed that we could end this conflict by receiving an inpouring of this energy from a higher source. For me, this ability had almost become habit. The Sixth, that we could clear our old repeated dramas, and find our true selves, was also permanently etched in my mind. And the Seventh had set in motion the evolution of these true selves: through question, intuition of what to do, and answer. Staying in this magic flow was truly the secret of happiness.

And the Eighth, knowing how to relate in a new way to others, bringing out in them the very best, was the key to keeping the mystery operating and the answers coming.

All the Insights had integrated into a consciousness that felt like a heightened sense of alertness and expectation. What was left, I knew, was the Ninth, which revealed where our evolution was taking us. We had discovered some of it. What about the rest?

Father Sanchez pulled the truck to the side of the road.
