kind, at least from how it is understood here on Earth. It's NOT just telepathy, either." THIS got his attention. He looked at me in surprise, "What do you mean?" At this, I FINALLY comprehended that his earlier interest in telepathy had not been just innocent chit-chat.
"Well, I don't know exactly. It's more than just mind-to-mind. It's like, well .
. ,". I was grasping for words. "Well, when they 'saw' me, they couldn't really see me, could they? What, then were they seeing? I'm asking myself this, Axel?" "Yes, go on," he said.
"Well, it's more like they were . . . FEELING rather than seeing or picking up on mind vibes. It's more like it was, yes, sort of a dimensional thing - rather, sort of like a ripple in some kind of cross-dimensionality. Yes! That's it! They FELT something. Not particularly ME. But SOMETHING.
I paused: "And! THEY knew what the ripple meant. Like a sort of penetration of where they were." I paused, then said in a self-introspecting way: "WOW!" Axelrod sat quietly, as was his way, looking at me. Then: "Why did you say WOW?" "Ah! Well, if I can articulate it . . . it was like there is a sort of . . . crossdimensional . . . Well, if you can imagine that you feel a presence but can't see it, it was something like that.
"Only those guys . . . they were going to hone in on it, at least that's the best way to describe it." Axelrod was silent for a moment. "So, you are referring to telepathy plus something else? "No, not exactly. Perhaps SOMETHING ELSE plus telepathy. It's the other way around. After all, the basis for telepathy has to come from something - rather, because of something." "What do you mean?" "Well, nothing happens all by itself. There are always processes involved.
This is to say, things happen by way of something. Nothing comes out of thin air. It's hard to articulate in simple three-dimensional terms. Mind-to-mind is a three-dimensional construct. But what if . . . " Axelrod interrupted. "Why would mind-to-mind be a three dimensional . . .?" "Well, one mind existing as a three-dimensional thing communicating with another which is also a three-dimensional thing, and the communicating across the distance ... is not the distance involved conceived of in three-dimensional terms? "The PHYSICAL universe is three-dimensional - not the mental universe. Here is one of the big flaws in all theories about Psi. Everyone thinks of Psi ONLY in three-dimensional terms." I ran out of words at this point.
