About This Volume
Hello. I am Esperanza Enlaces, Chief Media Contact (CMC) for Dr. Clara Ackerman Branon, first liaison—Chief Communicator (CC)—between Earth and the Many Worlds Collective (MWC). Clara asks me to organize Volume II, This Changes My Family and My Life Forever (the one you're now reading) in The Spanners Series. Since it needs some explaining, I'm the one to provide info.
Volume I, This Changes Everything's stories are all from the perspectives of the adults who actually are Spanners (except for me), but we also want Earth's teens/ young adults and "new adults" (children and grandchildren of Spanners) to realize that we know how important your roles and perspectives are.
Earth's Transition to membership in the Many Worlds Collective (MWC) affects everyone differently. Therefore, Volume II is composed of interviews I do with and personal stories from each of Clara's nephews and nieces and her son, Zephyr Branon. Also, it is interlaced with Moran Ackerman's stories.
Moran Ackerman, age 27 BPC [Before Public Contact] and in his mid-thirties by the end of Transition, is Clara's nephew, Chief of the Psi-Warriors (PWs) and OverSeers covert and special Operations (OSOps). He frames the Transition with descriptions of his Excellent Skills Program training and personal stories of his family life.
Because of many requests, I also add a Chapter that tells of my first meeting with The Band, picking up right where Clara leaves off in Volume I, This Changes Everything, so that both of our perspectives can be "on record." Even though everyone Accesses the vid a million times by now, I think readers/viewers want to know my personal responses, both before and after we shoot that first vid.
Clara reviews the draft and tells me it's too "thin." "People want more," she says."They won't like it if you don't give them more about me, about my life. Maybe you could add some things about my years before becoming the Chief Communicator [CC] and then give them some idea of what being the CC is like?"
I consider this and decide to interview her separately. From these, I insert "Snapshots" of Clara's life at several key points prior to 2012 and then one for each year of the the Transition through 2018, alternating with these other Chapters. This puts more personal stories from Clara in this Volume. I ask a lot of questions about her early years and her daily life now so that we can accumulate a variety of stories and background. I then create fourteen Snapshots, starting when Clara is nine years old and ending last fall, one about every five years or so, that illustrate her circumstances, personal and professional activities and daily schedule. We also decide to put in at least one personal anecdote for almost every Snapshot.
Therefore, there are the Chapters with interviews, the Chapter Interludes that are narrated by Moran, and the Snapshots interspersed throughout this Volume. Unusual, but somehow, we think it works. Enjoy!
BTW: For those readers/viewers who are not familiar with the Volumes in this series or our special vocabulary, abbreviations, acronyms and situations, please turn to the end. Appendices A, B, C, D, E and F provide synopses of each Volume as well as glossaries and lists of important people, concepts, the family tree, the Excellent Skills Program training levels and other good info.
Clara also wants me to remind you that The Spanners Series' Volumes are "fiction" and mostly written/spoken in the present tense. Using the present tense (is, are, can, do, live, work, eat, sleep, love, go, come, stay) is to remind us all that, despite the compelling illusion of past, present and future, all time is simultaneous.
Everything in the multiverse than can happen is happening in the eternal now in multiple timelines that braid, rebraid, diverge and overlap.
Right.

Describing the Many Worlds Collective (MWC)
Excellent/Extraordinary Skills Program (ESP) Trainings for OverSeers (OSes)
Interviews with Moran Ackerman, PW, OSOps
(Psi-Warrior, OverSeer, special and covert Operations)
Because I, Moran Ackerman, Clara Branon's third nephew, am the first Earther to become both a Psi-Warrior and an OverSeer in special/covert Operations (OSOps), my Excellent Skills Program (ESP) training parallels the Transition almost exactly. It's kind of cool because this means what I'm learning is what I need to use almost immediately.
I choose the framework of my specialized ESP training to structure these chapters, which Espe says are called "Interludes," so I can add stories with examples and details of my experiences for you (what I'm allowed to make public, that is).
So, here we go!

[By the way (BTW): available in late Spring, 2015, Volume IV, Changes in Attitude, Changes in Latitude, provides a set of perspectives on the ESP trainings from talented, youthful students, starting with children and and grandchildren of the Spanners (humans) and students of other species as they move through upper Levels, including Dr. Clara Branon's Chief Communicator's training (which goes further than any other Earther's, by necessity).]
Chief of the Psi-Warriors, OverSeer and covert special Operations agents,
Moran Ackerman: My Stories of the Transition
MORAN: OSOp Moran Ackerman, Chief of the Psi-Warriors, here. Aunt Clara and Espe ask me to tell my stories so everyone's iD can Access them and I agree to do it. However, I can't share some aspects of my experiences.
I believe it's best to divide my story into sections based on what I learn and what happens as I learn as well as what's going on here on Earth during the Transition, APC [After Public Contact]. If I use too many acronyms or short cuts, Espe kindly agrees to come along after me and put in the translations or explanations, which leaves me free just to talk. Thanks, Espe! [Also, please turn to Appendices for Glossaries and other info.]
Briefly, let me lay it out like this, so everyone knows how we're set up in the OverSeers. Espe says she can capture my comm pad screen, put it right here and I can still add notes. Nice.
Ranks and Levels of OverSeers (OSes)
(BTW: not all are human)
Enforcers (OSEs) have basic ESP training and function somewhat like peacekeepers or police officers when in non-violent times (have different functions during the psi Wars. Everyone in the OSes starts as an OSE.
Investigators (OSIs) have intermediate Levels of ESP training so they function as detectives, problem-solvers, mediators and assistants to leaders. Many OSOps and members of the Global Unity Leaders Council have OSIs assigned to us, as partners and bodyguards. When communities of any species have crimes or issues needing expert, skilled attention, they request an OSI. Some OSIs are eligible to be and do become OSOps.
OverSeers in special/covert Operations (OSOps) have high Levels of ESP training and function in secret in times of extreme turmoil or conflict of other types, on- or off-planet, within or among species.
In peaceful times, OSOps are the main trainers for potential OSEs and OSIs. OSOps with timult talent are eligible for and may be invited to acquire timult Levels of ESP training. This is where I fit in when I'm not being a Psi-Warrior.
Psi-Warriors (PWs) are those OSOps who also have timult talent and who go through those and other additional Levels of ESP training.
The Excellent/Extraordinary Skills Program (ESP) trainings for OverSeers are not exactly the same as for beings who decide to go into the ESP training for other purposes. Some categories for OSOps are left out entirely. Others are included but not comprehensively. The MWC has this all worked out from eons of experience. We trust them.
When someone (human or not) wants to participate in the entire ESP training, each student may only move through the Levels as that student's talent, abilities, motivation and intentions permit. Some with "breakout" skills must first learn to identify and control these (tame their tigers) before we allow them to start the initial sequence at Level I, even (especially) when they have higher Levels of breakout skills.
The sequence is set regardless of the reasons for an individual's participation, but as I explain, some pieces are left out for some training groups.
When an OS trainee fails to complete a Level or section for whatever reason, that student's training pauses and perhaps ends at that point, which dictates where we place that student after graduation.
When someone wants to continue, if specialized training or tutoring could benefit them, we do offer that. But, usually, it's kind of self-selecting. Like a colander with holes of different sizes, the ESP training has a sieve-like assessment system that only lets eligibles "through" to go further.
However, because of all our specialized requirements and demands on our time, the ESP training for OverSeers is not the same as for those who go through ESP training for other reasons, all in sequence. Some of the ES are not offered to OSes, or offered only with certain subsections or with some subsections offered just for the parts we need without changing the titles of those sections.
We keep private exactly what training occurs in each Level for any individual OS. We publish the entire list of Skills and Levels, but only I and a few instructors may know what any particular overseer trainee goes through and can do. Except for our Chief Communicator, who must go through it all, everyone has changes and omissions in their sequences of ESP training.
******************
I am 27 in early 2013, when everyone hears about the MWC [Many Worlds Collective] holos' visit to Aunt Clara and what that all means to Earth. At that time, I am a Rabbi in the Jewish Modern Orthodox tradition, teaching middle school in what is then near Cleveland, Ohio. I am married, living with my wonderful wife, Liora, and our adorable one-year-old daughter, Orna. Aunt Clara is the eldest of my father, Dr. Thomas Ackerman's, three younger sisters. Abba [Father, Hebrew] and Aunt Clara are only one year apart.
[Orna, Moran's 6-year-old daughter, walks in and sits beside him, listening.]
I start having "weird dreams" in September, 2012. In these dreams, I'm doing all kinds of things I can't imagine at that time could be real or possible: walking through walls, flying just in my body, moving objects with my mind, telepathically communicating with other humans and animals, and talking and interacting with some nonhuman-looking creatures, including colorful holograms, seeing them talking with Aunt Clara.
I talk about some of my dreams with my wife, Liora, because they are so vivid and fantastical. She and I share some laughs about my "superpowers," and that's about it. Oh, and she does start calling me "Psi-Man," which, considering how things turn out, is mighty prescient of HER!
There is a long tradition in Judaism of individuals' receiving visions, information, and even warnings from HaShem [God, Hebrew] in dreams. (Think: Joseph, with that multi-colored coat and all his vivid dreams, right?) I wonder if anyone else is getting dreams like mine, but no one besides our kids tells me or reports it anywhere BPC.
When we get Aunt Clara's call, we're at my parents' house [see Chapters 6, 7, 8 of this Volume]. My "dreams" suddenly seem not to be dreams. Seeing my niece, Chaya's, drawing, I am flabbergasted.
My oldest brother, Lavi's, only daughter, Chaya, has a crayoned picture that she just happens to bring to this fateful Shabbat dinner. The drawing shows a central figure that looks like Aunt Clara (human female, curly, light brown hair, blue eyes) next to the floating, bluish beach ball I now know as "Led." There is a sort of Tin Man, an orange, robot-looking figure who is clearly supposed to be "Ringo." The pair-bond, "Janis—Diana," are there as two large, greenish blobs with legs (kind of accurate, actually) next to a very tall, bright blue, wiggly-looking figure (probably wiggling to illustrate his cilia moving all over him) with blinking colored lights on top: definitely "Mick."
My own drawing of Aunt Clara and The Band of holos would not be more accurate, I'm sorry to say!
Then, I hear that my nephew, Solomon, my second-oldest brother, Agam's son, also "knows," from his own dreams, confirming my suspicions. We're all connected to the MWC's Big Reveal, somehow, not just Aunt Clara.
Liora and I are the only ones who know about my having pre-cog dreams BPC. Liora knows about my dreams because I tell her many times how I "see" her for years before we meet and that's how I know she's my Bashert. I also dream about our daughter, Orna, before our first ultrasound and that's the way I know she's a girl. I dream our current house before we find it. Things like that are common in our family but not usually talked about BPC.
After this Shabbat and the Big Reveal, everyone knows about my dreams because we tell them. Eventually, my timulting becomes important and necessary, but I get ahead of my story, here. Let's return.
I call and talk briefly with Aunt Clara later that same weekend, after Shabbat (no phone calls during Shabbat). She explains some of what my dreams signify. Mainly, she lets me know that some of us are "talented," meaning, we're able to utilize Extraordinary, or Excellent Skills, BPC. Then, the arrival of the MWC delegation catalyzes our ES greatly. I talk about that call and its aftermath later in this Volume.
When Aunt Clara and I get another chance to talk, early in January, 2013, and I explain my dreams in more detail (having many more by then), she immediately puts me on a vid call with The Band, as she and Zephyr come to call the main five holos.
I mostly talk with Led and Mick, that time. They already know everything about me. I mean, EVERYTHING. That's kind of creepy, but makes our conversation go quickly. Telepathy certainly is a big time-saver!
I find out: the MWC delegates move fast when we Earthers are ready. I suppose I am as ready as I can be. In that talk, which goes for about three hours, they explain what's coming: the Transition and its inevitable problems; the Fraggers [Fragmenters] and Trenchers; the impending psi Wars, with the development of Earth's defenders, the Psi-Warriors, to curtail and control the resistance, the Psi-Defiers.
My whole body is buzzing, my stomach flipping around. I'm sweating and breathing heavily as if I am just back from a long run. Standing on my toes, leaning forward, listening with every pore as they talk, the hours fly by. I am mesmerized but on high alert at the same time. I cannot remember ever feeling so energized. I know I have to be directly involved.
But, how? I'm a parent of a toddler and a Rabbi who teaches middle school. What can I do to help?
I'm wondering about my dreams and other future-seeing, clairvoyant precognition and presentience: do these mean I have a key role in all this? I am about to inquire when Led asks: "Moran Ackerman: do you want to help Earth in its Transition?"
When I hear Led ask me that, I feel as I am being summoned by HaShem. Not that Led is G-d, but that this work is my new sacred calling, to help all of Earth. I believe I only have one choice.
In Yiddish, we have a saying: Bashert 'yz bashert. Bashert is not just about finding one's soul mate: other things can be bashert, like "qué será, será" in Spanish. Something that is meant to be, my destiny, my fate, is bashert.
I answer Led with a resounding "YES!" The most amazing feeling, like love multiplied by millions of electric charges, suffuses my chest and then my entire body, as if I am bathed in energy and love. That's what it feels like when I am doing G-d's work on Earth.
I become the first human student of the first ESP [Excellent/ Extraordinary Skills Program] trainings for OSOps. I am involved at the start in the development of the OverSeers of all types for Earthers, up to and including the first Psi-Warriors. I become the first Chief of them all.
I AM Super Psi-Man! See, Liora? You are right!
I have only the vaguest idea of what this all is at the beginning, but I catch on quickly. Aunt Clara says that is due to the fact that becoming the Chief is my karma [Sanskrit, Buddhist term for inevitable action, destiny]
When I finish this first monstrously long call with The Band, I turn to Liora and explain it all. Not surprisingly, since she is completely awesome, Liora supports me.
More of a shock: my school headmaster understands. He's a big fan of Clara's, he says. At first, he gives me time off for the spring, 2013, semester, but this turns into a permanent leave of absence.
For the first months of my ESP training, there is no Campus. I have vid calls with some of the holos from The Band about every other day at first, often with Aunt Clara from her house in California, as we begin to plan the ES and OS schools. We also start my training remotely in late January.
Luckily, since there is nowhere yet to go for the trainings, just like Aunt Clara, I train from home, which is Cleveland, Ohio, USA. She trains in the rain or sun in northern California's winter, I in the snow and freezing rain, almost no sun, when we have to be outside. Fortunately, most of what we do is indoors at first. Sometimes she and I are training on the same things, so we practice together via vid call, Access, or other methods I explain as I this Volume continues, here.
The trainers, usually Mick or Ringo, sometimes Led or Janis―Diana, come to me as holos. I'm the second person, after CeeCee to be given my own implant iD [Individual Access Devices Interface] and get physical "downloads."
[In Volume I, This Changes Everything, are descriptions of some of Clara Branon's early trainings with and first physical "download" from The Band.]
After the MWC learns how well Aunt Clara and I do and how fast we learn, they begin to invite other Earthers, many of which are non-human species, into the ESP trainings, which is the reason we move so quickly to establish The Campus.
Over that first Transition spring, summer, and fall, the MWC also sends already-trained Psi-Warriors to Earth, in person and as holos, to the new Campus. We meet "members" from a dozen other planets and moons.
In late summer, 2013, we deploy the first squadron of Psi-Warriors on Earth. I am co-leading that with an experienced OSOp from off-p because I am not yet ready to be Chief.
I get to tell you a little about my ESP training. [See Appendix F for the complete list of Levels and Skills.]
The first lessons for OSes are from ESP Training Level 1: INVITING MOVEMENT: OBJECTS & SELF. These include Telekinesis and Levitation of the body and other objects, including short-distance “flying.” We start off with the proverbial BANG! Moving stuff around, moving us around. Wow!
Because of the urgency and our commitment or talent or whatever, Aunt Clara's and my trainings are accelerated. We learn when we're awake, when we're asleep—we practice constantly, read a lot and talk to each other often. It's the most intense education ever and I love almost every minute. I am ON FIRE.
Aunt Clara and I simultaneously train on ESP Training Level 2: PERCEIVING TELEPATHICALLY, which includes Clairsentience, Clairvoyance and Clairaudience; Remote Viewing; and, Psychometry. It is so great to be 'pathing on purpose and learning to shield, to send and to receive intentionally. Hugely useful. Liora likes this part, she says. Our private life, let me say, is also ON FIRE!
Aunt Clara and I also train in Precognition/ Retrocognition and Presentiment/ Retrosentiment. These show us how to look "ahead" and "backwards" as if (and it really is true, you know) all events are happening in the "now." Level 2 really helps me understand and use my dreams. More on those later.
*****************
Right now, in this very room, as I talk with my friend, Espe, here, my 6-year-old star, Orna, is on my lap, poking at me, saying things like: "Abba. This is boring. Tell stories."
I must please her: this abba is wrapped around any of her fingers, any time. I plan to tell this story, anyway.
"Okay, Orna. Stories." She hugs me.
"Espe? Orna 'paths for me to tell the one about the candlesticks. Right. Candlesticks. Telekinesis. All right? I'm going to tell it here like a movie, yes, Orna?"
Orna snuggles in happily for the story.
