incomprehensible to the finite, conscious mind. In this vastness lie all of the
aspects we attribute to heaven and hell (See Chapter VIII), which are but part
of Locale two , It is inhabited, if that is the word, by entities with various degrees
of intelligence with whom communication is possible.
As noted in the percentile analysis in a later chapter, the fundamentals are
altered in Locale two . Time, by the standards of the physical world, is nonexistent. There is a sequence of events, a past and a future, but no cyclical
separation. Both continue to exist coterminously with "now." Measurements,
from microseconds to millennia, are useless. Other measurements may
represent these factors in abstract calculation, but this is uncertain. Laws of
conservation of energy, force field theories, wave mechanics, gravity, matter
structure—all remain to be proved by those more versed in such fields.
Superseding all appears to be one prime law. Locale two is a state of being
where that which we label thought is the wellspring of existence. It is the vital
creative force that produces energy, assembles "matter" into form, and
provides channels of perception and communication. I suspect that the very
self or soul in Locale two is no more than an organized vortex or warp in this
fundamental. As you think, so you are.
In this environment, no mechanical supplements are found. No cars, boats,
airplanes, or rockets are needed for transportation. You think movement, and
it is fact. No telephones, radio, television, and other communication aids have
value. Communication is instantaneous. No farms, gardens, cattle ranches,
processing plants, or retail outlets are in evidence. In all experimental visits,
no food energy needs were indicated. How energy is replaced—if it is truly
spent—is not known.
"Mere" thought is the force that supplies any need or desire, and what you
think is the matrix of your action, situation, and position in this greater reality.
This is essentially the message that religion and philosophy have been
attempting to convey throughout the ages, although perhaps less bluntly and
often distorted. A facet learned in this medium of thought explains much. It is:
Like attracts Like. I did not realize there was such a rule that acted so
specifically. It had been to me nothing more or less than an abstraction.
Project this outward, and you begin to appreciate the infinite variations found
in Locale two . Your destination seems to be grounded completely within the
framework of your innermost constant motivations, emotions, and desires.
You may not consciously want to "go" there, but you have no choice. Your
Supermind (soul?) is stronger and usually makes the decision for you. Like
attracts like.
