 (93e) Mexico City Continuing, from The Ether Ship Mystery: “They travel at all speeds, from zero (stationary) to thousands of miles an hour. They also vary widely in size, from a few feet or yards in diameter to nearly incredible dimensions; we have reports considered trustworthy of at least one craft ten miles in length. They have a curious way of disappearing suddenly when in plain sight and also of rapidly dwindling in size without withdrawing in distance. It is well to bear all these items in mind, since any single explanation must obviously cover all of them; it is not enough to invent some theory for the disc shapes alone and then imagine that the whole matter is accounted for. Now, under the ‘etheric explanation,’ which we are presenting here, our understanding is briefly this: ‘All of the types of craft just mentioned come from the same source. All are constructed by Etherians. Their variety arises from the fact that many of them are experimental, and that different types of them serve different technical purposes. These craft are built of matter of the etheric plane, and are imperceptible to us, since they exist in what we call ‘empty space.’ They enter our plane, or our level of perception, by a process of materialization. The extremely dense matter which fills in the pattern of etheric stresses is replaced by matter of a kind that is visible to us… or better, its vibration rate is lowered until it becomes visible’.” (21) Layne proceeds to discuss his idea of the origin of our souls, as being from a place he calls “Etheria”: “It is our information that certain types are and have long been used for interplanetary travel. Those who persist in the belief that they come from visible planets or our system will eventually seize upon this as a confirmatory fact. But the ether ships do not originate on visible planets… interplanetary travel is simply one of their innumerable uses, the fact should not mislead us. The craft are made in Etheria, and Etheria is in and around all visible objects. It is also the home and motherland of our own bodies. We ourselves are Etherians by ancestry and descent, for Etheria is the home of the human race. That we should be so ignorant of it is strange indeed.” (22) |
Where and how does this “etheric world” exist and how does it interact upon our own physical energy, Layne explains: “We must not harbor the illusion that the four etheric states are ghostly and unsubstantial. They are a good deal more substantial than our own so-called dense world, and it is we who are the ghosts of the etheric realm…” … “There is reason to suppose, also, that the lowest of the etheric states, just beyond our gases, serves as a zone of demarcation between the planes and that there is some overlap of phenomena of the etheric and of our world of matter in this zone. Etheric matter will interpenetrate all things of our world (etheric doubles).” (23) Layne then explains how matter and space interact with time: “They are not solid; their solidity is formed according to where they are going and what their mission is. They make their vibration conform to that of the body they approach. “Their matter is so formed that it can be driven, by operative force of the mind, at speeds which exceed that of light. But there is not ‘matter’ or ‘stuff’ as you use the words, which passes over the enormous gulf of space. For such speeds, here and there do not exist; space-time is a continuing here-now… but you must have your laws and theories, of course!” (24) Despite the far-reaching implications of this research and understanding, mainstream UFO researchers do not regard this information with any interest, for the most part. It does not fit with conventional ideas of materialism and physical reality so therefore it is of no interest to the vast majority of UFO students. The idea that there are subatomic ships carrying nonphysical inhabitants, makes the subject matter far less tangible and obviously, we have far less control over such a situation. Physical space travel as portrayed in Star Trek is the idea mass marketed to the public because this is more comfortable for the average person and makes for better science fiction. This is the effect of our materialistic reality. I’m not so confident about the idea of “etherians” or an “etheric race of beings,” as portrayed in the channeled writings of Meade Layne, either, but I do think Meade is closer to the truth than most people, especially those advancing the idea of physical aliens as visitors from space. We should always keep in mind, this information came from a channeled source. It is not verifiably true in any way. It is far more likely that some of it is truth, and some, the workings of the subconscious mind imposing itself on the conscious mind. In other words, some of it is probably originating from Mead Layne, whether he realizes it or not. (21) Cosmic Pulse, p. 131 (22) ibid, p. 133 (23) ibid, p. 135 (24) ibid, p. 136 |
