It told of an invisible island of a sort of fourth-dimensional matter where people lived, where there were cities, rivers, lakes, oceans. The hero of the story flew his airplane too high, and crashed on this mysterious land. The rest of the story was very poor, but the concept always appealed to a sense of conviction hard to rationalize. Could it really be possible that such invisible lands could exist? Years later, when the fiction of science fiction became fact, radar began spotting apparently solid areas in the atmosphere that brought back a "hard" signal. An introduction to Charles Fort, and his "New Lands" gave us numerous queer happenings that seemed to point to areas above us where very physical things existed. There were "rains of fish, frogs, fresh meat, ice, stone axes" and a whole host of other things that fell OUT OF NOWHERE. Somehow, the explanations of how they got up there did not satisfy - seemed more logical to believe they were up there in the first place, and there was no need to extrapolate an ascent. There were also the mysterious "hoistings" of human beings into the circumambiant ether - such as the famed and unfortunate Oliver Lerch, who went out one night to get a pail of water, and the last seen of either Oliver or the pail was his rapidly ASCENDING body, and the sound of his RECEDING voice crying out in terror. History seemed full of such occurences, beginning with the Bible and the chariot-assisted flights of Elijah and Enoch, and even the ascent of Jesus. Was there indeed a place of "residence" ABOVE OUR HEADS, where there were "many mansions"? Later came the totally baffling, and certainly not enough publicized Page 1 incident of Grote Reber, and his radar receiver which brought him intelligent signals from an area which could only have been atmospheric and ROTATING WITH THE EARTH, because his radar disk could not be focused on anything else. We all know where Mr. Reber wound up, heading a giant Government radar installation in Hawaii, where we presume he is still listening to intelligent signals, although we hear nothing of what he hears, not even of the "hissing noises" it is claimed he is hearing (at least we should have a report on the hissing!). Is there really something to listen to electronically in the atmosphere that makes intelligent signals to human beings? When we became acquainted with Oahspe, perhaps one of the strangest books we have ever read, we discovered that it is almost entirely concerned with what it terms "plateaus" in the atmosphere, ranging from as low as 20 miles to 50,000 and more, each inhabited by the spirits of former surface dwellers who had gone to a new life after death. Many fascinating accounts are given of these atmospheric continents, likewise surrounded by watery (or should we say foggy?) oceans, including such things as disasters that cause them to SINK to the surface and CONDENSE INTO DENSER MATTER; and even raising them still further from the surface in order to keep the inhabitants from DESCENDING to "haunt" their unsuspecting DESCENDANTS. As a boy, we had traveled much over the areas of the United States where the so-called glaciers had deposited their debris. As a boy, we had been brash enough to doubt that it was the glacier which had done all this piling of sand and stone and boulder in such fascinating layers and windows and dunes - it seemed more like the work of wind; and what a wind it must have been! Yet, were not the layers piled up exactly as wind would have piled them up; and had not the action of water wrought the changes in them that were to be observed, cutting into and carving out these piles into strange shapes? The geologists stuck to their ice and water, but it seemed to look like wind and water, to a mere lad, who had studied the small example to decipher the large. Had, indeed, the debris of a former aerial continent fallen to earth in a gigantic storm of dust, sand, pebbles and boulders, all ground into weird shapes, and smashed into shards by the collision of their falling? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard note.... What an interesting proposition, that entire other "realms" exist at heights above the earth surface. These most likely consisting of "attenuated" matter which is governed by some sort of energy layer or level in which it is immersed. Thus, when anything from a higher level (an energy form, living or not) "falls" to a lower energy level (in this case, the Page 2 surface), that energy manifests as physical matter or matter NATURAL TO THE OVERALL BACKGROUND (ground state) ENERGY LEVEL OF THAT LAYER. AMAZING IDEA! One of the most unbelievable phenomena of fakirs and mediums is that of apports or materializations. Is it possible that there is a special band of energy, accessible by the human mind, which allows the creation of a structure IN THAT FREQUENCY BAND? This must take place while the mind is "visiting" that layer of energy. On returning to the "physical plane", the thought- form, now "attached" to it's creator, condenses into a physical form.
