A Message to Russell: My astral TV just picked this up from a PBS station in 2073

Long shot establishing a vista of alpine meadow with snow capped peaks in the far background. In the middle distance is a small pagoda-like pavillion. George Harrison and Ravi Shankar play Indian flavored Grateful Dead music in the background as the camera begins to travel in toward the pavillion.
As the camera approachs the pavillion, we begin to hear a voice over the music.
Voice- (Cheerful and solemn). . . slowly, slowly, that’s good! Now feel that sensation, stay locked on your partner’s eyes and just feel. . .
The camera moves slowly up to the pagoda and we see a dozen couples, all in their mid-teens, seated in lotus posture facing each other. Their knees almost touch, but not quite. Everyone is fixed on their partner. The camera travels through the group, then focuses in on the old fat Buddha seated on a pile of cushions. He continues to talk, eyes closed and with a big smile, as the camera closes in and fades out.
