On board the glider, pre-activated controls prompted: Destination? Biella simply entered: Random, activating the craft to accelerate along the short runway, their comfy but elegant craft propelled by electro-magnetics. As they reached the side of the mountain an invisible ramp boosted them high into the sky, into silence.
Eluminia had chosen a specific style for her Consolidation, Sharing only the condensed essence of what came up in her, trusting these nuggets would connect herself with herself. She was indeed consolidating her Being, as was the purpose of the exercise. Styles of expression and Sharing with Self varied greatly. Some chose detailed thorough charted or pre-scripted paths, embedding what had previously been laid out, others relied on more regular free-flowing discussion. A great variety of styles existed. For all however, the common element of allowing what came to come, using those from inner-self and external world to guide the process. The key element being connection to the Intent of consolidating what one knew into Self. Knowing something was not the same as knowing something. A distinction between memory knowledge and fully incorporated Understanding which could be implemented at will. The consolidation aimed to exactly integrated into the self what was of importance to the Self, consolidating the various Aspects of Self.
“Being Inspired is Being Love!” Eluminia exulted. She emphasized Being, a habit, the word possessing deep extra meaning for both. “The love of Beauty is the love of Harmony, Balance, Flow...” the glider did a barrel roll coming out of the apex of their boost.
“Appreciate! Appreciate! Appreciate!” Eluminia exhorted the World. “Feel The Power! It is Love! It is You!” the glider levelled, stabilizing into the expansive stillness of high flight.
Eluminia coaxed into the silence, “Focus on that which you Enjoy! This is the Road to Joy!”
The two friends, sitting side by side in a special glider design which allowed this luxury, merged with the quiet. Their autopilot finding the morning thermals.
Rummaging in their backpacks by her feet Eluminia produced breakfast. She always packed the most exquisite picnics. Producing tri-colour chocolate laced strawberries she smiled daintily, a fine lady instantly channelled by the delicacy. The chocolate had been infused into the strawberries. Delicately, just the right amount. Each strawberry's sugar content pre-sampled, the amount of chocolate adjusted accordingly. Eluminia had herself overseen the apparatus which achieved this marvel.
“It is not the food, it is the water! Keep the cup filled to the brim!” Eluminia said as the glider banked out over a large bay prompting her to produce tiny glasses filled with water from a remote mineral spring, purposely left inaccessible as it did not produce much. Extensive effort was required to come by its deliciously enervating water. A rare treat, made even more nourishing by the knowledge that Eluminia had made the several days journey personally to acquire her treasure.
An array of culinary treats appeared. “Twelve?” Eluminia queried herself. She had missed one. It soon appeared. She smiled in satisfaction, “Twelve constellations, twelve disciples, twelve tribes...twelve cell salts,” she said, adding, “To move the Oceans within Us to Connect to the Cosmic Oceans and Merge with Love.”
Biella smiled with Love. A Consolidation with E the most sublime of experiences.

“Flowers so Delight!” Eluminia said as she produced several miniature bouquets comprised of specially grown miniature flowers. Each arrangement no bigger than a fingertip. Eluminia put much effort into her picnics transforming them into art. Her art. One of them, as she attempted to make everything she did into art. Just being Eluminia was art the way she applied herself to living.
The glider dipped suddenly, but surged right back up again through an air pocket. Eluminia yelled with exaggerated over-enthusiasm. “Training my 'wild horses,'” she grinned in acknowledgement to Biella's implied query.
“I entice Love's Emergence,” Eluminia said, savouring one of her creations. Delight punctuated by the consumption of one of the tiny bouquets. They were of course also edible, to be eaten delicately. Eluminia became fine, the immersion into her Art intense.

She surveyed the skies, extracting an abstract side-dish, “I am a guest in the House of The Great Beneficence.” Eluminia closed her eyes, feeling the world, “Love is Grand - Love is Beneficent.”
Their aerial breakfast-parlour swept out over the large bay, catching a good view of the numerous sails from the wind power installations. Most of the bay colourfully covered, appearing like a large regatta in progress, as was the idea. Biella thought of Ursula. So much still to show her when it came to the renewable energy installations of Nobelia.
“Humbled and Curious...” Eluminia guessed at Biella's distraction. Biella nodded. "The Young Man..." She looked at the large sails slicing through the waves on their underwater tracks. “...and Ursula." Biella's words were elsewhere. Perhaps too many had been used lately. She smiled gently at herself.
“Surprised by Inner Surprises,” Eluminia half queried, half stated, the comment directed at Biella but about herself.
"Those are indeed the best," Biella agreed.
“Life is a Marvellous Playground,” Eluminia affirmed. The glider looped over the far side of the bay tracking long flowing wide beaches. Uninhabited. A swath of elegance as far as they could see. “Daydreaming is so necessary, so luxurious and Fun,” Eluminia said, adding, “Simplicity is so Beautiful.”
“As is complexity,” rejoined Biella, a common response among the New Nobility, who strove to Appreciate all of life.
“Contempt is born out of a subtle form of Neglect,” Eluminia switched focus. Her way as well as that of a Consolidation. Anything and everything which made up the individual was in play. “Neglect is a subtle form of abuse.” Eluminia finished her thought-chain, “The abused become abusers.”
Biella wondered what had brought this forth. Another day she might have asked, but in her current mood, content to listen and imbibe.
The glider banked sharply out to sea, surprising the friends. A few moment later, as if it had been teasing, another hard bank back toward land to cross over low mountains. A section of coast with numerous diverse trees. Biella sighed. She loved that area.
“Seek and see the Marvels,” Eluminia echoed her spirit. They drifted toward the interior, the glider losing altitude, not rapidly, but steadily as it bore them toward a somewhat remote part of Nobelia. Not that Biella minded, but she would prefer not to set down somewhere out of the way. It would be unusual. The auto-pilot invariably finding an appropriate landing environment where the craft could easily be taken care of. Either recycled, or put into service again if they landed at a glider launch field. However, regardless of how she felt now, Biella knew Attunement and Appropriateness would serve to adjust her energies as needed.
The glider dropped steadily, Biella's mellow mood in tandem with the altitude. “Revel in The Magic of The Mundane.” Eluminia pointed. A small high valley had come into view.
"Oh, but to heed our own Wisdom!" said Biella tenderly as the intricacies of complexity filled seldom used inner spaces.
"Ah yes, the Hidden Desert," Biella smiled a soft smile. A favourite place for spiritual outings.
“Combine The Mundane and The Spiritual,” Eluminia reminded, plucking the word from Biella's awareness, as she so often did. Looking back towards the ocean she added, “Mother, Father - Matter, Water.”
“Spirituality is Extreme Practicality,” Eluminia reminded the world. She looked down at the now retreating desert beneath them. They had found a thermal from this hot patch of earth. The auto pilot...

Eluminia had a look of longing, as if she wanted to be down there, right that moment, “I feel the most Alive when I Dance! Buoyed, Moved and Informed by Universal Love,” she sighed, but a satisfied sigh. “Dancing, I am the paintbrush on the canvas of the dance floor - surprised and thrilled by every movement.” She looked at Biella. “I am no social dancer, the setting might be social...I allow the music to move me to Connect with All that Is...” She trailed off, looking at the desert once more. She seemed to be contemplating the Appropriateness of social dancing in the desert. Her eyes twinkled.
Biella viewed the desert. It looked so flat from up high. A deceptive view. Biella had been down there, by herself and with Eluminia. Not flat in the least. Yet it always seemed so. Many wide low hills surprised from the surface. One only noticed them when coming upon an apex. Then the view of the desert again seemed flat. Mostly, one could only see a portion of the valley. Mysterious like that, innumerable surprises, never what it appeared to be. To access the spirituality of that desert required an Extreme Practicality indeed. Biella warmed from her memories.
Eluminia proclaimed, “An end result does not mean the objective has been achieved.” Biella nodded. A common confusion.

“Particularly with Spirituality,” Biella said.

Eluminia smiled gently at Biella, “Results don't always matter - motivation, interest, and desire is the Igniter. Thoughtful Planning and Effort in Execution, these matter!”

Sliding into herself Eluminia fell into a newly surfaced memory. During a Consolidation, immersion given free rein to take over, regardless of circumstance. The friend was there to watch over, just in case. Not that any New Noble would lose themselves so completely that they put themself in danger. The friend was simply to take care of the mundaneties so as not to break the flow of connection to inner promptings.
Eluminia's concentration deepened, “Do you Dare to Care? Or is "caring" transactional...” She seemed to be speaking to someone from her past. Biella suspected as much, but wasn't sure.
Eluminia's immersed conversation continued, “Spirituality is not out there, somewhere! Spirituality is an Inside job! Tend to Your Spirit...” She answered herself, seeming to speak on behalf of the other, “How do I tend to my spirit?”
“Being Attentive to The Moment and maintaining Positive Energy in that Moment!”
Shifting in the seat, Eluminia's body changing slightly as she switched characters in her internal dialogue. She expressed this inner conversation out loud. “Manage the Mood within each Moment,” she said with Determined Resolve.

She adapted to the posture of a third party observer, “Folks Ridicule what they Choose to Not Acknowledge!“ Then back to herself, “Collaboration is the Key!” she affirmed, adding, “Present and Discerning. Spirituality,” extracting the key points.

Eluminia eased from her immersion, holding it's magic, lingering in both worlds. A smile of insight yielded, “We are all Lunatics living in a Mutually reinforced Reality,.“ Grinning at Biella, she finished, “Commitment is a Game Changer!”

“Indeed. Indeed it is,” agreed Biella. Eluminia's ability to commit was extraordinary.
“Very much depends on what we Commit to,” Biella added soberly.
“Eating from The Tree,” said Eluminia, slightly confusing Biella, then pointing to a tree on the ground. An incongruous fruit tree out in the desert. “Tree of Life Temples,” grinned Eluminia, her imagination now blossoming. A relief from the intensity she had been immersed in. Eluminia focused on re-balancing her energies.
“Reminds me of that city we visited, the one with the giant tree right there in the very middle of the city. It was so extraordinary, so incongruous,” Biella remembered.
“I think a lot of the time we get in the way of our own Goodness...” Eluminia said, then immediately switched tracks. Biella could see the internal shift projected onto her face. “Engage your Sense of Wonder,” Eluminia declared. This last a title, a heading. Biella waited.

Activating the small Comm in the Glider Eluminia commanded, “Horsing Around.” 
The Comm obliged. Biella was to be treated to a Captioned slide-show. A novel innovation to The Consolidation delighting Biella. Eluminia had to have had the pictures associated to her captions. She wondered what the project had been. The first image held their gaze:
“Courtship.” Eluminia said this with some emotion.
Biella was not sure if it was Positive or... she didn't want to pursue other options, unless she had to.
“Butterfly Ball.” Eluminia smiled...
Adding: “Butterfly.”
“The Heart is the Generator,” she said directly to Biella, “Actions/words have potency when the heart and mind is aligned.” Touching Biella's arm affectionately, she whispered, “Welcome to My Dream.”

“Gazebo Love.” Biella wondered at that one. It was so incongruous. “For later,” she silently noted to the Comm via her implant.
“True Anonymity is Complete Transparency,” Eluminia said, “Extrapolate - Envision - Create.” A deep breath as if she felt a pressure building. Then rapidly:
“Ethical Strategy!”
“Zoom out - Think - then Act/speak.”
“Lead by walking backwards.”
“The Mighty Pause.”
“Take a moment's Pause then Proceed.” Not heeding her own admonitions the flood continued:
“Kindness, Diplomacy, Tact - the hallmarks of Ethical Strategy.”
“Hey! What are you doing here?” The Comm took this as a command of sorts, immediately removing the picture currently showing even though it had been appropriate. If the Comm could be confused, it would have been. Eluminia again addressed the Comm, it had become a proxy, “Show up and Be Present: Commitment is a Radical Game-changer - most Enlivening.” She gave it a thumbs up.

Biella chuckled, fully engaged in the spirit of the Consolidation. The friend was there to witness. Biella would do exactly that. She set aside any ideas, pre-conceptions, guesses, or discernments which came to her. She would observe.
“There Isn't anything Wrong - just Areas of Development,” Eluminia smiled warmly at the Comm, “and Opportunity for Refinement.”
“Glimpse Worlds...” A command again.
“May Worlds gently Merge and the Largesse of our Spirit reign.”
“May our Hearts and Minds Dance in the Flowering of The Grand Beneficence.”
“Hello Heart! Divine Spark!”
The word Spark inflamed Eluminia, “Hopelessness leads to Spitefulness and meanness - Always allow for Hope.” She made an effort to get her good mood back, quoting: "'The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead.'” and another: “'Starve the ego - feed the soul'”
Something spoke to Eluminia, her head cocked as she repeated what she had been asked: “Do you Respect The Universe's Trust in You?” It didn't seem like she wanted to answer. The question had evidently been asked with some problem attached to it, “Convoluted use of Language is the result of Lack of Awareness,” Eluminia observed, almost a rebuke. “Condescending Attitudes, however subtle, stem from Lack of Awareness.” Whoever had asked that question of Eluminia had other agendas. She battled her memories, along with the attached attitudes and emotions. Determination etched her face, she was not going to repeat those moods.

Neutrally, with a studied de-emphasis, she let out, “Assume the Positive. Assume that folks understand, have that be the starting point and make adjustments from there as needed.”
Turning away from her memory Eluminia addressed the Universe, “The root of all little evils is Lack of Awareness. So not so little after all, Awareness is a big deal!” Animated now she added, “Awareness equals Efficiency.”
Eluminia returned to her core. Biella could see her eyes moving, as if she was scanning, “Patience is such a Stupendous Virtue! Thanks to All my Patient Friends.“ Perhaps this was addressed to her internal Aspects.
The glider wobbled, Eluminia had released the auto pilot, controlling the glider with body movements. She dipped her barely-outstretched arms, the glider swooped. Eluminia let the expansiveness in her heart stream out:

“Yes! The World is Holy! The World is our Friend...when we Love the World we Feel the World Loving us.”
“Life is Love. We are Love. Just Love.”
“Just Be. (Love)”
“To the degree that we are off-kilter reveals our self-distortion of our Love.”
“Be the Love. Be Yourself - your Best Self!“
“Love is who and what you are! Why be anything else?!”
“Love is Coherent!”
“A Coherent System is a Wholesome System.”
“Flowers Nourish Us in Exquisite Ways.”
“Lack of Positivity can sometimes masquerade as Positivity.”
“The seemingly negative can sometimes obfuscate the Positive.”
“Miss Perception gives birth to misperception.” She smiled at this.
“Meditation and the Practice of Generosity.”
“'Where there is love, there are seeds of hope. Where there is peace, there is no resistance.'”
“'What uplifts one person assists the many.'”
“Love Heals... Soothes...and Buoys.”
“Embrace/Accept Yourself.”
Biella absorbed this torrent of Positivity with Joy, delighting in The Consolidation at work. Eluminia's waving short-wing arms had set the glider in an uneven spiral. The ground rose to meet them. Eluminia expertly danced her arms and the glider into a soft landing on a sandy part of the desert, their spirits adjusting to the power of the earth's hot dry welcome.
