APPENDIX 20: UFOs AND PLANES OF REALITY

Session 16

… The strange thing about flying saucers is not that they appear, but that you can see them.  As science advances on various planes the inhabitants learn to travel between planes occasionally, while carrying with them the [camouflage] manifestations of their home stations …

I am quite sure – I know for a fact – that beings from other planes have appeared among you, sometimes on purpose and sometimes completely by accident.  As in some cases humans have quite accidentally blundered through the apparent curtain between your present and your past, so have beings blundered into the apparent division between one plane and another.  Usually when they have done so they were invisible on your plane, as the few of you who fell into the past, or the apparent past, were invisible to the people of the past.

This sort of experience involves a sudden psychic awareness, straight from the entity, that all boundaries are for practical purposes only.  However, there are indeed many kinds of science.  There are a number of sciences dealing just with locomotion.  Had the human species gone into certain mental disciplines as thoroughly as it has explored technological disciplines, its practical transportation system would be vastly different, and yet by this time even more practical than it is now.  I am making this point because I want it made plain that when I speak of science on another plane I may not speak of the plain old science that you know.

When sciences progress on various planes, then visitations become less accidental and more planned.  Once the inhabitants of a plane have learned mental-science patterns, then they are to a great degree freed from the regular camouflage [physical] patterns.  This applies to “higher” planes than mine, generally speaking, although mine is further along in these sciences than your own.

[Many of] the flying saucer appearances come from [such] a plane, [one] that is much more advanced in technological sciences than earth at this time.  However, this is still not a mental-science plane.  Therefore, the camouflage paraphernalia appears, more or less visible, to your own astonishment.  Now, so strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying object is something that is actually, as you view it, not of your plane or of [whatever] plane of its origin … The atoms and molecules that structurally compose the UFO, and which are themselves formed by vitality, are more or less aligned according to the pattern of its own territory.  Now as the craft enters your plane a distortion occurs.  Its actual structure is caught in a dilemma of form … between transforming itself completely into earth’s particular camouflage pattern, and retaining its original pattern.  The earthly viewer attempts to correlate what he sees with what he supposedly knows or imagines possible in the universe.

What he sees is something between a horse and a dog, that resembles neither.  The flying saucer retains what it can of its original structure and changes what it must.  This accounts for many of the conflicting reports as to shape, size, and color.  The few times the craft shoots off at right angles, it has managed to retain functions ordinary to it in its particular habitat.

I do not believe you will have any saucer landings for quite a while, not physical landings in the usual sense of the word.  These vehicles cannot stay on your plane for any length of time at all.  The pressures that push against the saucer itself are tremendous … The struggle to be one thing or another is very great on any plane.  To conform to the laws of a particular plane is a practical necessity, and at this time the flying saucer craft simply cannot afford to stay betwixt and between for any indefinite period.

What they do is take quick glimpses of your plane – and hold in mind that the saucer or cigar shape [often] seen on your planet is a bastard form having little relation to the structure as it is at home base.

At a later date I may go into the inhabitants of [those planes] more thoroughly, but as it is I am not very much acquainted with them myself.

There are so many things you do not understand that I hope to explain to you.  There are other things you do not understand that I cannot explain to you, simply because they would be too alien now for your regular mode of thought …

One note along these lines.  A plane – and I am using your term; I will try to think of a better one – is not necessarily a planet.  A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is.  One planet may have several planes.  Planes may also involve various aspects of apparent time – this particular matter being too difficult to go into right now, although I will continue it later.

Planes can and do intermix without the knowledge of the inhabitants of the particular planes involved.  I want to get away from the idea of a plane being a place.  It may be in some cases but is not always.  A plane may be a time.  A plane, believe it or not, may be only one iota of vitality that seems to exist by itself.  A plane is something apparently divided from the rest of the universe for a time and for a reason.  A plane may cease to be.  A plane my spring up where there was none.  A plane is formed for entities as patterns for fulfillment on various levels.  A plane is a climate conducive to the development of unique and particular capacities and achievements.  A plane is an isolation of elements where each one is given the most possible space in which to function.

Planets have been used as planes and used again as other planes.  A plane is not a cosmic location.  It is oftentimes practical that entities or their various personalities visit one plane before another.  This does not necessarily mean that one plane must be visited before another.  A certain succession is merely more useful for the entity as a whole.

In other terms, you could say that an entity visits all planes simultaneously, as it is possible for you to visit a certain state, county, and city at one time.  You might also visit the states of sorrow and joy almost simultaneously, and experience both emotions in heightened form because of the almost immediate contrast between them.

In fact, the analogy of a plane with an emotional state is much more valid than that between a plane and a geographical state – particularly since emotional states take up no room.
