                             The Continuum

From 1890 to the mid-1920s, both scientific and popular literature was
filled with articles by people attempting to show ways to access the
mindset of fourth dimensional consciousness (4-D). These appeared both
as intense mathematical "proofs" and simplified "poofs," but the goal
was the same: OPEN YOUR MIND TO A HIGHER ORDER OF CONSCIOUSNESS, then
come back "down to earth" and express this understanding in a tangible
way in 3-D. The principal means of realizing this for most people was
"organic" architecture, which took root in the American Middle West at
the turn of the century.

Louis Sullivan, the "father of American architecture," posited that
all things which have physical existence through the physical senses
are only shadows, reflections, and incomplete sensations of a larger,
all-encompassing existence that he called "the Great Life." The
principal characterisitic of this "Great Life" was enfoldment of time
and space into one single unified condition. Buildings, art objects,
and in fact all things we make are a cross-section through this
continuum. Because they are enfolded in this "higher" consciousness,
these objects are actually crystallizations of energy. These forms,
like a bank or a church or a house, reveal the awareness of the
creators of their own existence in terms of the continuum. This
awareness expresses intangible qualities like aesthetic value, self-
esteem, aspiration, and reveal what is regarded as worthwhile by those
who create such physical objects. It was this inner self-awareness
that was rejected wholehog by the International Stylists and their
descendants who have delivered us to the brutal, vacuous, and
alienating "modern" architectural environment in which we now exist.

In effect, the most dominant form of power in our lives, architecture,
was used to focus our attentions away from inner states of
consciousness. Instead, in the name of "scientific" progress, an
obsession with external delineations like straight-lined geometric
forms (boxes, boxes everywhere) was foisted forward as some kind of
salvation against a supposed delusion called decoration. All of this
went hand in hand with (and was an organic expression of) the belief
that the material world was the highest form of "reality" or
consciousness. Louis Sullivan died of alcoholism, in poverty, in a
cheap Chicago hotel, his "organic" understanding of the Great Life
left for dead, by and large.What was actually left behind was the
doorway to 4-D consciousness.

The 4-D awareness went on to incarnate again, as a sort of freak side
show, in the cascade of B-movies that arose after WWII about alien
invaders from the fourth dimension. The theme developed almost
uninterrupted for the next forty years in film, not to mention books
and magazines, until now it is an acceptable given in "science
fiction" that a "door" into another world can open anywhere--out of
mid-air--right in front of Our Hero and Heroine. It has even been made
a comedic device, as in TIME BANDITS, for example.

Popular culture has thus succeeded in establishing 4-D consciousness
where the scientific establishment has not. Science as a viewpoint is
actually on the decline in the larger population, which is seeking
something that is not openly apparent in the physical paradigm of
"scientific thinking." In short, people are beginning to look for
spiritual values--and as Louis Sullivan and those of his time spent
their lives trying to point out, that spiritual quest exists in 4-D,
because the 4-D continuum IS the realm of the spiritual. This has, in
its own terms, as objective and orderly an existence as the 3-D
material plane.Bottomline: Spirit--whatever it is--has a genuine
existence that is not measurable in a 3-D context.

Yet there is undeniably a continuous presence in human thought and
feeling about the "Great Life." It is the metaphor of myth, archetype,
and all the other cultural permutations across human existence that
have tried to reference something that is expressed materially, but
whose origin and continuation refers to a reality whose material forms
are only crystallizations.

In this 4-D aspect,as some have suggested, the ETs are emanations of
ourselves, and vice versa. On a 3-D level, however, this plain vanilla
understanding may find some nasty and very dislikable expressions. In
talking about the ETs--whether as physical entities or as "channeled"
mentations-- it is essential to distinguish the scale on which the
discussion is based. There are only two grades: relative, and
absolute.

Relative expressions are always 3-D. Absolute expressions are always
4-D. This is the barrier in consciousness that is referred to as "the
speed of light." The attainment of the ET technology is the ability to
move into and out of the 4-D continuum and still retain a relationship
to their relative 3-D existence. They do "go faster than the speed of
light," but that must be understood as passing from a relative to an
absolute frame. In the 4-D frame "the speed of light" has the same
"real" existence as an imaginary number.

Thus, this "science" that is seeking to measure and catalog and
inventory and otherwise delimit the ET craft is seeking to explain a
4-D phenomenon in a 3-D context. It can't be done, and so therefore
the "scientific conclusion" is that such things do not exist.This
rejection is based on a liking for order and sequence that is
summarized as linear systemization. Linear thinking is based on a
desire for a shared predictability that exists--in those terms--only
in the physical world. 4-D awareness makes that the same kind of
domain that Einstein made of Newton's laws.

Once you have gained a mental foothold in 4-D, the seed is sewn for
the realization of the continuum of the Great Life.Event B can happen
before event A because "A" and "B" are markers of a linear sequence
system. An ET can meet you many times, and you will have no memory of
it in 3-D "consciousness" whereas you will see the "relationship"
clearly in 4-D. The continuum is not a concept, it is a higher state
of consciousness to which concepts can only point the way.


                       Channeling ETs/Archetypes

One of the things that happens when you actually get a continuous
realization of the 4-D continuum is "omniscient" comprehension. Of
course, the reliability of this "omniscience" is in direct proportion
to the clarity of your mind. There are many "obscurations," as the
Buddhist masters call them, "defilements," and "impurities." These are
all related to the ego.

If you've ever sat in a barber's chair where both walls in front and
behind were mirrors, you have a metaphor of the ego. Reflections
within reflections within reflections, ad infinitum. This "false"
reflection is in actuality only a series of images that pass through
your mind. You have learned to grasp these, collect them (memory),
and they have, through the process of your education and experience,
become a means of self-identification. The mechanism of projecting
this identification produces the phenomenon called the ego. The ego
stands directly in the way of 4-D omniscience.

The raw nature of mind is clear light. Not white light, not rose
colored lenses, not golden auras, but simply clear light. And there is
nothing in form, shape, pattern, depth, or point. This raw state is
the foundation of being. Our 3-D physical world--all the phenomena
given expression by the structures of the physical senses, the body as
a whole--are like sitting in the barber's chair. Each instance of
being is one of the images reflected in the mirror. All are discrete
quanta (continuums) with their own inherent boundaries of existence.
The ego decides which is "real," and which is "imag-inary," or
"unreal".

The mind exists as a 4-D continuum of consciousness that enfolds all
these "existences," and the ego is a filter in the stream. The ego is
a prioritizer of the sensual imagery that develops from contact with
the five senses. It is a seemingly arbitrary discriminator in most
people, but in fact the ego collects through a structured mechanism
and therefore is inherently (organically or "reflexively") structured
itself. In some individuals, often called shamans, psychics,
sensitives, oracles, dreamers, etc., there exists a psychological
balance that is tilted more toward the 4-D mind than the 3-D sensual
world. Still, however, there is present the structural predispositions
of the ego.

When 4-D cognizers turn their attention to the inner continuum, the
awareness they attain is filtered through their egos. This mechanism
of projection/ identification dresses the 4-D consciousness out of the
available wardrobe of 3-D imagery. This imagery is then made
"concrete" when rendered in a linear symbol systems such as language.
It thus acquires a "patina" of solidity in 3-D terms that the
originating energy or impulse did not have.

In many forms of psychisms over the millenia of which we have record,
this projection is determined by the dominant cultural paradigm. Thus,
an experience of this pure light--processed through an ego that is
rooted in a human body with earthly concerns--can appear as the Virgin
Mary, the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, and so on. These projections
make the experience understandable and communicable from the inner
state to the outer one.

This mechanism, which I have described only simply, is the basis for
"channeling" ETs and at the level of the most common denominator is
what Jung called "archetypes." The archetye is what all humans will
experience, and the myth is the local form in a specific time and
place. Joseph Campbell produced a rich synthesis of these many forms
to indicate what we all share in common as humans.

On one level, the "entities" are merely reflections in the barber's
mirror. In essence, they are the play of raw mind, given form by
virtue of an ego's predelictions. Such absolute description precludes
your own inherent existence, as the Buddhists have declared for
millenia. On the other hand, if you wish to consider yourself as real,
then relatively speaking so are these other "entities." In actuality,
of course, your own ego and the "information" of the entities is a
single reflexive process brought about by obscuration of the clear
light that is your true being asmind.

That's why there is such an emphasis in channeled material about the
"Light." Channeled ET personalities go on about manifold dimensions,
human destinies, and so forth, but the conversation almost always
takes place in warm fuzzy generalities. Mythically, this was
poetically expressed in popular film when Yoda says to Luke Skywalker,
"Beings of light are we, not this crude body." Channeled ETs have
exactly as much "real" existence as Yoda and Luke. They are
impressions of the mind based on a deeper underlying reality that
cannot be expressed directly in 3-D mentation.

There is a wonderful quote that exemplifies this understanding, and I
hope soon I recover the name of the Indian chief who said it. When
telling a story, he finished by saying, "Of course, I do not know if
it happened exactly so. But if you look at it, you can see that it is
true." What this greatly enlightened Native American said, in effect,
was that truth has a substance that is separate from the form in which
it is dressed. That substance of truth is, literally, the inner light
of the mind. Not the brain, not the mental abstraction of an image,
but a raw stuff of something that might be called energy.

The channeled ETs all profess that "Light" is this energy. Healers and
lovers have known this all along. If you pay close attention the next
time that you have an intense and unhindered orgasm, you will find
that form is swept away for an instant. All that remains to your
consciousness, assuming that you are quick enough to perceive it, is
clear light. This is the doorway to understanding much of esoteric
Buddhist psychology, specifically the yab-yum IMAGERY of the Vajrayana
or Tantric practices.

The physical orgasm, of course, is only a shadow of a permanent state
of mind in which we all continually exist, but which is hidden from
our conscious minds by our egoic concerns. That's why so much of the
channeled material from the "Pleidians" et al is about universal
community. These psychical contacts are attempting to project a
synthesis.

In essence, we are all One. One big undifferentiated mind of clear
light. In places, this mind takes form as humans, in other places as
animals, in other places as discarnate entities (psychological forms),
and in an infinitude of other expressions. This realization, which is
different from merely entertaining the mentation, is the basis for
vegetarianism. To kill an animal and eat its flesh is to kill your own
being and eat your own body. The observation that life feeds on life
does not exclude the fact that this is a harsh reality to live in. ETs
are about getting out.

4-D consciousness points all this out as clearly as is your mind free
of egoic obscuration, defilement, and impurities. Some psychics are
aware of this and do cleansing practices like meditation and good
diet. Others, and Hitler was one, wallow in the ego and use their
power to delude others into following them down the garden path.

"Scientists" also do this. There is great claim that empiricism makes
the same conclusion available to everyone. In actuality, while an
empirical result may appear the same, there science ends and human
inference begins. A story collects around a given collection of
"facts" (images) and the herd is encouraged to follow. To those
dedicated to the medium (and the pun is intended), it is heresy to
suggest that the agreed upon "scientific conclusion" is in error. Of
course, generation after generation in that barber's mirror does
exactly that, overthrowing the old with new discoveries (images).

In one respect, the extraterrestrials are an image that bridges the
gap between 3-D and 4-D consciousness. They may be an archetype, or
they may be an anti-archetype. In another, equally legitimate view,
the ETs are forms of us that happen to treat humans as we treat
cattle. And, actually, they are both.The question is, which aspect
(image) do we want to concentrate on. And that, at heart, is
channeling.


                             Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance means simply sight at a distance. Remote viewing is one
form of clairvoyance, and this was demonstrated in various experiments
during the Apollo era, as well as being on ongoing (but not loudly
overt) trials on the shuttle from time to time.

Clairvoyance is a function of 4-D consciousness. It is a basic
characteristic of ET mentality. All humans are, to one degree or
another, clairvoyant; this is one legacy of our adaptation as a
species by the ETs. ET craft are navigated by a technologically
augmented form of clairvoyant function. Here is a nexus, a locus, a
synthesis point between 4-D reality and the 3-D human perception of
what are only the edges of that world.

In fact, if you are seeing "edges" at all, you are not using your 4-D
faculties. The principal characteristic of clairvoyant function,
expressed in a 3-D context, is that you are seeing things "from the
inside out." This point is made frequently in the older Theosophical
writings, particularly by Charles Leadbeater (for whom I have no great
affinity).

When you actually perceive (as opposed to mentally constructing an
Escher image) this "inside out" quality, a fresher description might
be that you are looking at both the outside and the inside at the same
time. In contemporary parlance, the watcher and the watched are the
same "thing." Since this experience is occurring in an "inner space,"
several important qualities are revealed.

First, you are no longer in a subject/object relationship. Instead,
you are directly perceiving a process. In 4-D terms, you are
encompassing the full movement of an unfolding state of existence. You
are, colloquially, in two places at the same time, yet in actuality
you are neither. This understanding is the basis for ET propulsion and
materialization/ dematerialization systems.

Second, in clairvoyance there is no "physical distance" to be
overcome. 4-D consciousness functions outside of the 3-D concept of
space/time. The mind is equally present in all circumstances.
Awareness is a matter of focus. Clairvoyance is a matter of conscious
focus. There are many training practices that have been handed down
through the centuries, one teacher personally to another, to induce
deeper awareness of this faculty. All are directed toward attaining
the unimpeded awareness of the clear light of 4-D mind; clairvoyance
and other "powers" are simply results of this effort. Many teachers
regard them as obstacles to be disregarded. The Tibetan Buddhist
lineages are strongest in this regard, but there are also Sufi, Jain,
and many other techniques for this development.

Third, in transcending subject/object relationships you become aware
of potential as an active force. All outcomes exist in discrete
states, but the mind, in 4-D, navigates through these channels (pun
intended) to find a "coincidence" or higher probability. This is a
very complex and highly subtle quality that must be considered, but
cannot be fully articulated here. Just be aware that manifold
dimensionality is also an aspect to 4-D consciousness. The practical
result of this is that many different outcomes arise from the same
cause, and it is this point that affects clairvoyant results.

Among the many descriptions that have been applied to clairvoyance
over the ages, perhaps the best word to invoke the state of mind is
"transparency." As the Guild navigator in DUNE says to the Emperor,
"You are transparent to me. I see plans within plans..." This
fictional character expresses an archetypal experience that occurs in
clairvoyance. First, the diverse machinations of the "secret" mind
become obvious. Second, "plan" is seen as only a schema that
describes, like a map, the future. Plan, in this context, means any
human self-identification with a given environment. Clairvoyance
functions by "reading" (actually directly experiencing the process of
energy flow that has replaced the subject/object relationship of the
3-D perspective) these schema.

However, as observed earlier, there are no "edges," "lines," or
"points." There is only a slight differentiation in the mind between
movements that are occuring both universally (manifold dimensions) and
simultaneously (we are outside "time"). This effect *IS* transparency.
Once the hard core physicists out there start looking at this, they
will be pleased to see that their empiricism is not precluded, it
simply has a new domain in which to discover expression. The "tool"
for this research is clairvoyance. That's not an original observation.

In terms of ETs and the government, this transparency can be quite,
pardon my enjoyment of the pun, enlightening. Things that are obscured
by secrecy and withholding in the 3-D world are at best only shadowed
in 4-D. Depending on the clarity and stillness of the observing mind,
it is possible, sometimes quite easily, to detect the truth through
the outline of the deception.

Of course, remember that the act of observing the state or condition
of being has the effect of energizing the potential within the
concatenation of force that is the cause for "looking." In some
instances, this results in a change, such as, say, someone speaking up
about what they know, even though they are unconscious of the "reason"
they have been spurred to this action. It was the energy of
clairvoyance that triggered this effect. Also, briefly, in manifold
dimensionality the result could also be the destruction of the
evidence that the clairvoyant has observed. This is where language
washes out, and the mentality begins to shiver in uncertainty. So we
will lead it back a bit from the edge of the abyss...

The ETs are a mixed bag, in this respect. In some instances we, as
humans, are the focus of their consciousness. They are INTERESTED in
our potential to affect their outcome. That's why they created us in
the first place. Nothing anti-ecological there. In other cases, some
of them are simply incomprehensible, clairvoyance or not. But then,
can you read an animal's mind? Can the animal read yours? Does it make
either of you any more comprehensible to one another?

Finally, clairvoyance can be much like anonymous ftp, or it can set
alarms ringing. All depends on the energetic balance of the system
into which the clairvoyant act is introduced. The better the
clairvoyance, the less the disturbance. Some clairvoyants set traps
for the unwary. Other clairvoyants simply smile (mentally), as they
step over such crudity to attain their goal. If clairvoyance comes to
you--such as knowing who is on the other end of the phone when it
rings--then you have enjoined the enfoldment of a clairvoyant
continuum. Such a moment can be enlarged in consciousness until you
are able to explore all the universes of the infinite mind. Enjoy your
heritage.


                               Atlantis

You can get there from here. Physical remains of Altantis litter the
Atlantic Ocean floor, as the United States Navy knows full well. Also,
you have been taught to view the ocean bottom is a contradictory way.
In one respect, it's a pretty accepted view that the ocean floor
spreads from a central line of volcanic uprise, pushing the continents
on their merry ways. However, this perspective needs to be joined with
another little idea.

The earth's crust BUBBLES. Particularly beneath the seas, where the
pressure of the water and that of the thinner crust create an
energetic zone of crustal movement. Movement up, and movement down.
This can happen quickly, vide Surtsey, over a longer "geologic"
period, vide the fracturing and final sinking of the Atlantean land
mass. But the essential thing to grasp here is that the "solid" crust
of the earth floats upward and sinks downward as the larger process of
"bubbling" takes place in the mantle and beyond. No one knows what is
really down there. Science simply guesses and passes it off as this
great discovered truth. And, of course, I cannot see that far down,
either. It is simply too dense.

First, get rid of the notion that the Atlanteans were human, or even
pre-human. They were not. They were artifically created adaptations of
a terrestrial hominid with a 4-D consciousness. They were, in one
sense, EXTRUSIONS into this world. The Atlanteans were ETs far more
than we are. But even those words do not begin to explain them. The
Atlantean conciousness evolved from less material (some use the term
"etheric," but that is just a variation on 4-D form) toward the
sensual, or physical. The evolution of the Atlanteans was an extrusion
of 4-D consciousness into the 3-D plane (language pales). An ET colony
if you like.

However, none of this is of any great revelation. What is more
important at the moment is to discuss how "Atlantis" fell, and where
it can be physically located. The Sargasso Sea is a clear indicator.
The Bimini plateau is the southern end, and the Azores are the far
side. Lots of bits and pieces litter the ocean in between.

The problem was that Atlantis as a continent sat on top of a mantle
bubble. Over time, the Atlanteans learned how to tap the vast gases
and other (EM) forces that were in a sort of geological stasis within
this "bubble". While succeeding cultures that remembered Atlantis
lavished all kinds of moral lessons onto the use of this energy to
drive technology, the actual discussion among the Atlanteans was
simply whether or not this was a good idea to mess with the very
foundation of the land on which they lived.

Cayce's Children of One (I removed the sexual bias) and Children of
Belial are the Democrats and Republicans of that debate, which went on
for ages by our calendar. The Atlanteans lived for centuries, some of
them for millenia; it was natural to them. As they became more and
more engrossed in the material body, however, this diminished (you can
see a shadow of this in the ages given for the ancients in the Old
Testament of the Bible). It was discovered, however, that the physical
body could be re-energized. The process, however, was both energy
intensive (in a 4-D way, which corrupted time/ space as we think of it
in 3-D) and also corrupted the physical body if misused. Which, as
Cayce said, it was.

Ultimately, what the old stories we have left--and the ones channeled
by Cayce, too--are talking about when they discuss immorality is the
tapping of the crustal energy to run a biomorphic technology that
intensified the connection between the 4-D consciousness and the 3-D
physical body. These technologies did not just absorb and convert the
crustal contingua,they warped the "natural" balance between the 4-D
and 3-D existences. This is a very organic event, in clairvoyant
terms. The Children of One said, "Do not do this for the sake of
living longer and gratifying your explorations of biological forms."
The other side said, "Fools. You cheat yourself. "Or something like
that, anyway.

So it came to pass that the warpage caused the bubble to burst. (Oh,
sometimes language can really come across). This spewed out vast
quantities of chemical compounds into the ocean, which boiled in
places and caught fire; in others it just made stenchy ooze like mud.
The mantle bubble, once pierced, took a while to reestablish a
geological balance. I think this is what Cayce refers to as the First
and Second Destructions. Both times, the Atlanteans breathed a sigh of
relief, thinking that's all there was. (Wrong. Thank you for playing.)

The backwash of the Final Destruction, as Cayce calls it, was the
Biblical and Sumerian Floods. What happened to Atlantis is that the
crust subsided as the bubble beneath settled into a new equilibrium.
It still leaks, and there are geomagnetic disturbances. Some of the
Atlantean technology, which was solid state, is still reacting to the
energy being released. This weakens the interface between 4-D and 3-D
planes. Voila, you got your Bermuda Triangle.

You want to find Atlantis? Ask the U.S. Navy what their acoustic
imaging systems have shown (get prepared to hear the word "anomaly" at
lot) while cruising along in their submarines. Of course, this is all
fantasy to some. But to others, it is true if you look at it.


                               Synthesis

We arrive at the last installment of what I have hoped can be seeds
for thought. I began this journey on ALTUFO-L (a.p.u) in order to find
out what was the general drift of knowledge among those who found
themselves drawn to this strange and baffling topic.

For whatever reasons, my academic education and work over the past
fifteen years has brought me ever deeper into the struggle begun one
hundred years ago to foster consciousness of "the fourth dimension."
Whether the state of mind referenced by that term is actually "fourth"
or "hundreth," or is a step "up" or a step "down," is really
irrelevant. The shift from one modality of mind to another is the
essential point. 4-D consciousness means the same kind of shift in
perception that moving from 2-D to 3-D creates. If you haven't read
FLATLAND, then there's a good place to start with the metaphor.

What does it mean when time and space are actually one unified field?
It means synthesis of paradox and mystery into comprehension. It means
a form of omniscience, though that does not imply that such awareness
comes without effort or conscious attention. It means that there is no
form, line, depth, or point, only consciousness. It also means the
next step in human evolution.

The ETs are an element of this, I am certain. I believe that they
created the human race. I believe that there is vastly more of our
history as a species than we have any knowledge. It seems clear to me
that extra- terrestrials (UFOs) cannot be explained in a 3-D context,
something that has become visible on a popular culture level long
before the reigning theocrats of science have come to terms with it.

I have also come to the conclusion that this is an individual journey
for each of us. Perhaps I knew that in the beginning, when I started
writing down the Earth Is Not Spheroid notes. I hope that some light
has come to you for the amount of time that you invested in reading
them. I certainly have learned.
