sixties were about peace but he was about violence. For some reason he attract ed a lot of young men and women, especially women.
“He instructed these people to murder a famous movie star named Sharon Tate and her guests. Some were stabbed and some were shot. Sharon Tate was about six months pregnant.
“They wrote ‘pi gs’ on the walls of her house using the blood of the victims. They continued to terrorize, raping , stealing , and murdering. Bottom line is that Charles Manson was not any hero to look up to but was one of the worst criminals in history.
“This book makes it look like he was some sort of savior and role model to follow. The problem is that there seems to always be someone who people will follow no matter how evil they are, people who believe they are good instead of evil.
“The book keeps talking about Helter Skelter like it’s a positive thing. It terrifies me.”
“So, you think we shouldn’t read the book?” Someone toward the back said.
“I can’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t read or believe, I’m just telling you the truth about Charles Ma nson who, by the way, was sentenced to life in prison when he and his family were captured.”
The man in the back spoke up again, “Well, I don’t know about the rest of you but I will always follow Ashley.”
“No! You will not follow me. I will not lead and I will not follow. Follow your own heart. But just remember, if and when you read this book who the Manson family was.”
“I think you should tell this story to those below, but I don’t know if they will believe you,” Joe said.
“I could try but you’re right. We’re talking about a group of people’s belief system. That’s hard to change.”
“Is it right to try to change them?” Someone asked.
Everyone was quiet, lost in their own thoughts. “Why don’t we go down and tell our stories,” I said. “ Then they can do with that information what they want. It will be their choice, even if they cho o se to not believe it. ”
CHAPTER 24
While the children spent the days frolicking and playing, the adults went down the hill into the small village and mingled with the people there. Each of us had stories to tell and they appeared to be very open to hearing us.
There were over a hundred of us adults now living in the cave city and seven teens, children and babies all together. We felt perfectly safe leaving the younger set in the cave. An interesting thing happened during this time.
Irene wanted to go down and mingle with us and decided to see if the cave would let her. For some reason she was able to interact with the outside world here and no longer needed to be the gate keeper.
One day when we were talking to Ted and his group I noticed that h e had a remarkable resemblance to Charles Manson.
After some hesitation I mentioned it to him. He laughed, “Of course I do. ” He got up and got the book and came back. The last 35 pages of the book was a family tree and he was near the bottom on page 35.
We were dealing with more here than a strong belief system. We were dealing with a heritage. It seemed like an impossible task we had set for ourselves.
That night when we got home I said to Joe, “I wonder what year this is. It’s obviously not your time and it’s not Irene’s time. It’s more like my time but it’s much later according to the family tree Ted showed us.
“You know what, Joe. We traveled so long, I’m wondering if we just traveled around and ended up back on earth.”
“Earth? What’s earth?”
“Our planet, silly.”
He looked at me like I had grown two heads, “The planet we left, t he one I was born on was Sunio T wo.”
“You mean I was on another
