Book 3 – A conversation between Malik and the Zebracorn. First written in Hindi by Raji, a descendent of Malik.
Malik: I have many questions about life, our planet and our universe. Can you answer my questions?
Zebracorn: I’m happy to chat with you but you should remember research, discovery and sharing new information with others is an important part of life.
Malik: How can I be sure I’m really hearing you and it’s not just my imagination.
Zebracorn: You can never be sure whether you are hearing me or whether you are just imagining. I communicate with you through your imagination.
Malik: How do I know if the advice I hear is from you or not?
Zebracorn: I speak only the truth and give only good advice. Your imagination can think of truth, lies, good ideas and bad ideas.
Malik: How do I know which advice is good and which isn’t?
Zebracorn: Good advice and good actions makes the future better for you, for other people, for other living things and for your environment. It’s never easy to know what ideas are useful and what ideas aren’t useful. You have to use your brain to think and decide.
Malik: Is there an easy way for people to know good decisions from bad decisions?
Zebracorn: Each decision can have many many outcomes. It’s impossible to understand all the possible outcomes and that’s the excitement and challenge of living. It’s common for people do make a decision they think is good for the future but isn’t. For example, a long time ago people burnt many witches and warlocks to make society safer. However, there is no such thing as a witch or a warlock so they were actually burning innocent men and women.
Malik: If someone wants to talk to you in the future, what’s the best way to talk to you?
Zebracorn: The best way to talk to me is to talk to a soft fluffy toy. A soft Zebracorn is ideal but you can use any soft toy. You can speak normally or just speak without moving your mouth or making a sound. If you want, you can just close your eyes and imagine I’m sitting in front of you.
Malik: What if I talk to a soft fluffy toy and I don’t hear you?
Zebracorn: You just need to relax your mind, let your imagination flow and listen carefully. I will speak to you through your imagination.
