Allen Parker was a well known professor, looked up to by all those in his field of study, so when he spoke about something people tended to listen. So when he stood in front of the group and began to lay out his plan, all of those in attendance listened attentively.
"What I am proposing to do, is to pin point a time in history in which we could make things better for the present time. What we have learned is that in the latter part of the 1800's, time's began to change. People began to show little to know disregard for life or environment. We are speaking of a time when the industrial revolution was in full gear and before the great wars of the 20th century.
As we know, this set off the spark that brought us to the atomic age and past World War one and two, then into the religious wars of 2015 when all mankind ruined the earth and drove those of us that remained underground to live in these caves as a society without a future. We have looked for ways to fix the top side world, with machines to clean the air and attempts at domed cities. However, as we know these have all met up with disastrous consequences, with large losses of human life. Although we have adapted to this underground dwelling over the last two centuries, the earth was not meant to be inhabited like this. So I propose a change in the past.
What I have come up with is a to take twelve gifted individuals and use the power of thought to send back a message to the past. One that would be used by an individual to make a change, to bring to mankind the consequences of what would be the present we know. Perhaps if we can take this step, this time, and even the person you see before you today speaking will never be. We have the ability, and this will be executed this very evening. Perhaps this night will be the last night we live below the ground that is ours above."
The people in attendance clapped, while the idea of thought transfer was thought to be something of fiction decades before, Professor Parker had perfected the technique to the point that it had even been used to communicate with others living on other sides of the word. The idea of transferring these thoughts through time though, was something never thought of before. So many in the group thought this seemed like a great idea, but felt that with the laws of physics in place, it would most likely fail and below ground would be the world they would always know.
That evening, Professor Parker assembled his twelve chosen individual together in a room. There were twelve seats all in a circle with metal helmets attached to one central glass ball about four feet in diameter, with a crystal pyramid floating in the middle. As the people entered the room, the professor gave instructions, "Once you have seated yourself, place this helmet over your head and begin to clear your thoughts. The thought transfer experiment will begin in a few moments." The twelve did as they were instructed and the professor continued, "Now it is very important that you focus all on the same message. Your thoughts must be the same, or our message would appear as nothing more then a random thought to someone in the past. So to review ..."
"Picture the world above, show the destruction and the death that it has, and show how it remains. Show how mankind did this with there disregard for life, and the planet. Make these images clear, make sure that you all focus on the depression this lead too and the terrible world we have left." The people nodded in understanding. "Then you need to focus on what you want it to be, show the world with life, with gardens and people living together in the sun and happy. Show life in the way you dream it to be." He paused for a second. "Now, at the end, you must send this message and make it very clear.
"THE END OF LIFE ON THE PLANET IS NEAR, MAKE A CHANGE, MAKE A PARADISE, YOU WILL WANT TO DWELL ABOVE"
The people all began to close their eyes, and you could tell they were beginning to enter a deep meditative state. Professor Allen set at his computer console and started to enter information. As he did this, the machine powered up and the glass ball in the middle began to fill with what looked like smoke, the pyramid crystal began to glow with a dim blue color at first and then it started to turn white. A loud humming noise was filling the room as the machine began to light up the helmet of each individual in the room. The professor checked the read-outs of each one, as the screen in front of him showed their status change from "INCOMPLETE" to "COMPLETE." Within a few minutes all the read-outs read complete, and was replaced with a large button that read, "EXECUTE PROCESS." Professor Allen set there for a moment, realizing that if the laws of time were truly there, he would hit this button and the future would change enough that this day would never have happened. Perspiration was pouring off his head, and he lifted his hand up slowly, looking one last time at the twelve people before him and pressed the button on the screen. The humming increased and grew louder and stronger the glass ball was now glowing beyond its border and the room was filling with light and then at once it collapsed in to the pyramid and then SILENCE.
It is a small room in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1879. Two people are sleeping in the dead of night, when the man suddenly wakes from what appears to be a bad dream. He is nearly in tears, from what he had seen and roles over to wake his wife, "Maria, wake up!" She turned to her husband and begins to speak, "It is the middle of the night, what is so important that you think we need to talk about it now." The man spoke quickly, "I think I just got a message from God." She opened her eyes widely, "What?" this made her more awake, "What was it." He started to calm down and explain, "I am not sure, but it was telling me the end was near for mankind, and a paradise earth was in our future. We needed to preach to the world how this was coming and make sure they all knew there was a paradise." She smiled at him, "Really, and when is this suppose to happen and are you going to live to be there?" He took a deep breath, and continued, "All I could get was that it was coming and I needed to preach that it was coming, I don't think I am meant to be there though. As God told me that I was meant to live above, so apparently some of us will go to heaven. I really need to look in to this." Maria shook her head, and laughed a little, "You just had a odd dream, go back to sleep and we can talk about it in the morning." The man laid back down, but you could tell that his thoughts were going a hundred miles a minute. The wife rolled over and spoke, "Look, you are just a preacher who lives in Pittsburgh, who had a bad dream, God did not speak to you? History is just not going to remember a man named Charles Taze Russell, so just go to sleep and get some rest, okay?" She then rolled back over and they both went to sleep.
