Fourth Dimension (Earth Is Not Spheroid)
written by Mark Hammons
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.
