Introduction

As noted in the introduction to the Cassiopaean Experiment, from the very earliest days of the Cassiopaean contact, Laura had been urged to "network" via the internet. Following this direction was, in fact, the means by which she and Ark were brought into contact with one another. However, networking is problematical.

The internet is a double-edged sword. Not only does it offer the possibility for contact between like-minded individuals separated by vast distances and even belonging to different cultures, it also provides the opportunities for individuals of a predatory nature to seek out prey for any number of nefarious reasons. Never before have the possibilities of networking been so enhanced, and the dangers so prevalent.

In the case of Ark and Laura, there were certain safeguards in place. Ark was a prominent physicist in the European community with a public presence that could be easily verified. As Tom French wrote in his article in the St. Petersburg Times:

Ark seemed perfect for Laura. In fact, he seemed almost too good to be true. So I checked. I did not want to see Laura crushed into oblivion. I did not want to learn, six months down the line, that this soul mate of hers was actually a 14-year-old boy in Philadelphia, doing what any 14-year-old boy would be doing on the other end of the computer line. I asked one of the Times' researchers to see if Arkadiusz Jadczyk was real. Indeed he was; in 1995, he had even won something called a Humboldt Award, which if I understood correctly, was a respectable achievement in the world of physics.

Ark had similar assurances about Laura. Not only had Mr. French spent over five years following Laura and her work, and was available for contact, Ark and Laura also had a mutual acquaintance - another physicist, Dr. R. Santilli.

It's not only 14 year old boys on computers that we have to worry about. Anybody with a computer can claim anything they want to claim, create websites to "validate" their claims, and proceed to con anybody in any manner they choose.

Internet fraud generally refers to any type of fraudulent use of a computer and the Internet, including the use of chat rooms, email, message boards, discussion groups and websites, to conduct fraudulent activities. The attributes of internet technology - low cost, ease of use, and anonymous nature, among others - make it an attractive medium for fraudulent scams, child sexual exploitation, and increasingly, a new concern known as "cyberstalking."

In spite of the dangers, of which both Ark and Laura were aware, the official Cassiopaea web site was launched in 1998, giving the experiment an expanding public presence. Many readers began to join in the research process and widespread sharing of data and experiences served only to confirm - again and again - many of the concepts and clues provided by the Cassiopaean material.

The publishing of the Cassiopaean communications and the establishing of the network of dialogues among those interested in this material was followed by numerous extremely unpleasant events for Ark and Laura. They took it in stride, considering that the sharing of the information was worth the risks even if the Cassiopaeans had once said:

Agents and agencies are omnipresent. You were moving in a direction whereby the knowledge gained would be most compromising, if shared. We have suggested before that this forum was better served as an educational realm for you, rather than one from which to launch upon an effort to educate all others.

As it happens, such "cautions" in the transcripts are about equally balanced with suggestions that "networking" is serving others. This "confusion" was only later understood, as will be described further on.

In response to the many questions and requests for more information, in the spring of 2000, Laura began to write the Wave Series. This attracted even more attention, mostly positive, though it also attracted the personal attention of some extremely dark forces.

Vincent Most first wrote to Laura in the spring of 1999.  The entire exchange and behind the scenes drama will be recounted in detail.

In the fall of 2000, Frank Scott - a long time member - left the group. In the same period, Maynerd Most initiated a discussion with Laura in which he claimed to be a struggling new publisher needing good authors - with an offer to publish her work.

Laura, overwhelmed with the work of keeping up with the discussion group, answering questions, editing and ordering the transcripts, researching clues from the material, and writing articles for the site, thought that Mr. Most was a godsend! Having corresponded with him for almost two years, Laura felt she could trust him, and she turned over to him unpublished material, confidential materials that he suggested he would help to edit, and believing that her life's work was in good hands, she settled down to concentrate on writing.

There were, of course, differences in opinion regarding the material and its possible interpretations between Ark and Laura and Maynerd Most, but Laura was confident that, given time, Most would prove to be amenable to a more open-minded approach. As one observer of the dynamic noted succintly: "If other people are so knowledgable about what Laura is doing so that they are qualified to pass judgment, then why aren't they conducting their own successful "experiment?" Why haven't their lives changed dramatically - and for the better - as Laura's and Ark's have because they have actually APPLIED the things they have learned?"

Apparently, having a direct connection to yourself in the future has its advantages.

In the summer of 2001, the Cassiopaeans themselves activated a daring plan, setting up the conditions for Laura to experience a direct visual representation of Maynerd Most. What she saw stunned her. His "mask" was so effective and convincing that Laura could hardly believe that what she was seeing was true. After all, this was not just a matter of deciding you didn't like someone and didn't want to associate with them for one reason or another. The fact was, just as Laura had liked Frank Scott very much, she also liked Maynerd Most very much and where both of them were concerned, had spent many enjoyable hours in conversation with them. This was "seeing" on a whole new level and Laura had many, many doubts about what she was seeing. It was actually painful to contemplate the necessary response to the understanding. If knowledge really did protect - but only if applied - Ark and Laura had to apply what they knew.

Ark and Laura discussed the matter for weeks seeking hard data - evidence. It was not lacking, certainly, but it was always possible to "give the benefit of the doubt" and overlook the subtle clues. A hypothesis was formed, a series of tests were devised, and - once again - the Cassiopaeans were proven correct - with a twist. It seems that this experience was the opening of the door to one of the most advanced lessons of adeptship. It was also, obviously, a "test" of sorts.

On a practical level, Laura's doubts about the matter were put to rest when The Perseus Foundation research group undertook an investigation of Most - including a professional private investigator's report - in the fall of 2001. To Laura's chagrin, it was revealed that Most was little more than an ordinary con-artist. Not only was his entire published "resume" a complete fraud, he had a history of attaching himself to individuals - to ride on their coattails, so to say - in hopes of stealing their work, their money, or both.

Even though there was a history of fraud, Ark and Laura were reluctant to publish the report on Most. However, it became necessary to respond publicly to the many attacks Most made on them in response to their attempts to simply disassociate themselves from him. It was certainly clear that there was something very, very wrong with the interaction, and only much later was it realized that the entire dynamic was a crucial lesson.

As it turned out, learning about Maynerd Most through personal interaction, produced a "question" that needed an answer. And the seeking of the answer resulted in developing the necessary tools and insight to move the Cassiopaean work to the next phase - the Quantum Future School.

Mr. Most reacted to the data presented in the report as expected: at all costs he wanted it removed, and since he could not force us to remove it legally, (Truth is not libel or slander), he resorted to attempted blackmail and extortion to try to force us to remove this report.

In January 2002, Frank Scott joined forces with Vincent Most to discredit the experiment, to label the members of the Cassiopaea discussion list as members of a "cult," obviously in a concerted effort to put an end to the experiment itself.

Even though she had kept the door open for Frank to return to the group right up to the moment of his public attacks - just as she had hoped that Vincent Most would demonstrate that he was not as he had been revealed to be - Laura had to acknowledge the fact that two people she liked very much, whose companionship she enjoyed immensely, and who she felt could have been the most marvelous of co-experimenters had they chosen to release their egos and stop trying to manipulate and control and lie, had simply chosen the other path.

She was heartbroken. Her health deteriorated rapidly, and in January of 2002 she suffered a life-threatening illness.

After she had recovered enough to sit at her desk, Laura did the only thing she knew to do with what she had learned: she sought daily to understand the dynamic she had been shown and then, shared it with others by writing the Adventures Series, an account of the events and dynamics.

Day after day she struggled to make sense of what was happening in her life. As it turned out, Laura's act of converting her suffering to sharing led to some of the most profound revelations brought forth in modern times regarding the nature of our reality. Seeking to understand the inexplicable perceptions and capacity for deception of Maynerd Most, Frank Scott, and others involved in the attacks, Laura searched and probed and "tested" on the daily public stage of the internet. The search for answers led to revelations about psychopaths, which opened the door to our understanding of Organic Portals. Without this understanding, it would be almost impossible to comprehend the events on the World Stage, including the behavior of George Bush and his gang.

The members of the Quantum Future School are fully aware of the great gift this dynamic gave to all of us.

Because Ark and Laura chose the high ground of doing what was right simply because it was the right thing to do, and because they were willing to take the heat of their decisions - difficult as they were - because they were willing to share every detail, to be completely open and transparent, they managed to include an entire group of people in their own initiatory experience which gave us an enormous gift:

Q: (A) We communicate with many other people via the internet and the question is: where are the STO people who know more than we know? We look for somebody who can teach us something and we never seem to be able to do it. What are we doing wrong?
A: Maybe you should more the teacher than the student be.

Q: (A) We know that there are good guys somewhere...
A: They shall appear, as needed.

Q: (L) Well, we feel pretty alone with all the lunatics and attack we have been subjected to. It is a rather lonely existence.
A: Not for long.

Q: (A) Not for long? A related question concerning our internet activities which have been going on for some time, and we do it because we feel that it is necessary, but we don't really know or understand what is the real purpose of what we are doing. Some people are reading our pages and writing letters, and then they disappear or they are discouraged, or they do nothing on their own. We are expending a lot of time on this publishing of information, but without clear understanding of what we are supposed to accomplish by this. (L) At this point, it is not accomplishing a whole lot except drawing down fire on our heads! (A) Right!
A: You should rejoice! From the fire comes light. Patience pays. You are on the right track.
