Discussion of Some Space-Age Technology

EXPLORER 3 DISCUSSION OF SOME SPACE-AGE TECHNOLOGY

EXPLORER (TC): It is not so much that we are driven to expand our awareness or that we should be, other than.. it is avail- able... and it being available... makes it a direction in which we can evolve if we so choose...

MONROE: Since we are on the subject of energy, what about the energy that is being used now in our communications? There is an energy at work there that apparently does not seem to be electromagnetic... or magnetic... it is another form of energy. Is this a form of energy that we can apply here is this reality?

EXPLORER: In this reality, as it affects the awareness... as opposed to, as it affects physical matter...let me try to straighten that out... This energy that we are dealing with now is not electromag- netic, it is true. It is not physical in the sense of your physical energies, but it can be used and utilized to change and vary the awareness... and the awareness can be used to change or modify the physical environment. It is not so much that you are using energy to manipulate physical structure as it is that you can this energy to manipulate your awareness of physical structure. For example, you can use this energy to change your awareness of cold... such that you are no longer cold... such that you are warm... Rather than heat the house, heat the man... the man can heat himself by becoming aware of the cold. So it is in that sense that this energy can be used to moderate your environment, by

EXPLORER 3 13 changing the impact of the environment on the individual, rather than actually using the energy to manipulate matter. Now, this is a fine distinction. If you are not cold, you are not cold because you no longer are aware or sense that you are cold, because your room is heated. It seems to make very little difference in the end... EXCERPT

EXPLORER (TC): I had two encounters. The first one was an intelligent being not in any way visual. The second was a woman in her late thirties. She seemed pleased to give me a tour of her environment... I asked her if she was in any way familiar with physical matter existence as I knew it, and she was not familiar with it, and asked me to explain —which was difficult; the explanation is pretty much im- possible... I didn't really know how to explain physical matter... so I asked her if it was alright if I came back and that I would... I wanted to leave to report in.. she seemed a little dismayed that I was taking off after having gotten just part way through the tour... but she said «alright», so I came back, which brings us to the present moment... Contact was established with same female. She was quite sur- prised that I had indeed returned. At first, I began to wonder what this intelligence did really look like to itself. Was I just imposing my own image of humanoid female form? We discussed this realizing that I was creating this image of her and could not really tell whether this was her own image of herself or not... she likewise, creating an image of me

EXPLORER 3 14 in a likeness that she was familiar with... and whether these likenesses were similar, mine and hers... there was no way to tell, so we left that question. Then I got an itch of some intensity on my neck, and I tried to explain that I existed in another reality besides the one I was sharing with her, and that I had a physical body elsewhere, and that that phy- sical body had an itch on its neck which was disturbing the focus of my attention. And that is why I seemed to be fading in and out as my attention wavered. She seemed to think that was quite incredible... I don't believe she believed be at all. She just kind of ignored that statement, like anyone would ignore somebody who says an irrational thing... I asked her about her physics. She took me to another place where there was another entity, this one male, and there was a writing surface much like a blackboard —but not a black- board— whereupon he attempted to explain the nature of things there. We had no success at all with his writings. The marks he was making on this surface were totally unintelligent to me. After a few efforts, we gave up and tried to go to pictures. All the time we could communicate telepathically. The pictures were Ok. He drew some pictures, and from the telepathic ex-

change I felt that their science, their concept of their ex- istence, and of reality, was in many ways similar to our own, and that they were fixed in that reality. They could not travel out of it, as I had traveled out of physical matter reality. They seemed to believe that they were fixed in their reality and couldn't really travel out of it... I don't know whether they even believe that there was any other reality besides their own...

EXPLORER 3 15 They had a physical science as much as we do, in that the object in their reality obeyed very specific laws... I tried to see if any of their laws were similar to ours, such as gravitation, which was hard to tell. I could not point out what their concept of reality was. All I could do was trans- late into my own concepts, meaning, I did not see them floating around in air, but whether that was because they experience a thing like gravity like we do, or whether that was a function of my own experience —visualizing humanoids not floating in the air— I could not tell... I did feel that they had a basic physical science that ruled the objects of their reality. They did not move things around by thought processes or anything like that... it seemed sort of like an Earth-type physical reality to them, although I don't recognize many of their devices and structures, which seemed very foreign to me. They seemed to be fixed and isolated with these devices and structures. Somehow I appear to them as one of their own kind —whether that is humanoid or not, I don't know— maybe I should have tried to find out where they think I came from, or who they think I might be...
