| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | Whose child has never wondered, "What am I?" and what
| |
| − | philosopher has not pondered the questions, "What am I for?"
| |
| − | and even more profoundly, "Why?"? Our ancestors gazed in
| |
| − | wonder at the same clusters of stars and constellations in the
| |
| − | heavens as do today's astronomers, and the same question continues
| |
| − | to tantalize interested minds: "Might there be someone
| |
| − | else out there?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are answers to these questions, answers that have long
| |
| − | been obscured by veils of misinterpretation. Today, space
| |
| − | technology is extending the vision of human eyes far beyond the
| |
| − | borders of our solar system, out beyond our galaxy. We have
| |
| − | learned that the endless deeps of space contain countless other
| |
| − | wheeling galaxies, perhaps other universes. Many large radiotelescopes
| |
| − | are continuously listening and probing for intelligent
| |
| − | signals from outer space, from an advanced culture "outside."
| |
| − | And these highly technical endeavors are not without concrete
| |
| − | feedback. Considerable evidence has been collected and
| |
| − | analyzed to prove that precursors to amino acids-basic building
| |
| − | blocks of living forms-are found in particles recovered from
| |
| − | certain space probes, and meteorites have been found which
| |
| − | contain ingredients necessary to support life. Such data has been
| |
| − | programmed into specialized computers. To the question of
| |
| − | whether other life might exist in the universe, these computers
| |
| − | have answered in the affirmative. For several years they have
| |
| − | shown the mathematical odds to be more than a million-to-one
| |
| − | that, in our galaxy alone, extensive life does exist out there.
| |
| − | Scientists are well aware that even should they overhear an intelligent
| |
| − | signal from a faraway culture, the time limitation would
| |
| − | effectively prevent trans-space correspondence. Our next
| |
| − | nearest star-sun is about 4.3 light-years distant and, with present
| |
| − | methods, more than 8.6 long years would creep by, (under the
| |
| − | best of conditions), before receiving an answer to our. . . well,
| |
| − | what would break the ice? "Hello out there ... How's it going
| |
| − | with you folks?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | This time barrier stems from one basic problem. So fur, there
| |
| − | has been discovered only one medium through which to transmit
| |
| − | radio signals. This is the well-known electromagnetic spectrum.
| |
| − | All frequencies pulsing through this ocean move at the speed of
| |
| − | light, no faster. This mode may serve well over short distances
| |
| − | on earth-even planet to moon-but time lag difficulties increase
| |
| − | as the distance increases between planets. Radio control
| |
| − | of landing modules and space probes sent to explore distant
| |
| − | planets is considered a major problem. (During the many minutes
| |
| − | of time lag between transmissions, a robot vehicle might
| |
| − | easily wander over the nearest cliff.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Today, however, a new and better method of communicating
| |
| − | is dawning on the horizon of expanding technology . When a
| |
| − | machine cannot perform the task, man himself must often substitute.
| |
| − | It may be news to some readers that certain high ranking
| |
| − | research institutes have probed and examined another spectrum,
| |
| − | a completely different method of communicating. The San
| |
| − | Francisco Chronicle of October 23, 1974, under a page 6 headline
| |
| − | by Kevin Leary, stated: "SRI Scientists' Fiindings: A Mysterious
| |
| − | Mental Power; two scientists from Stanford Research Institute
| |
| − | have published evidence that they say strongly suggests
| |
| − | many persons may have the ability to send and receive information
| |
| − | through a strange and as yet unexplained power. The two
| |
| − | SRI physicists published their findings in the [then] current issue
| |
| − | of Nature, a prestigious top ranking British scientific journal.
| |
| − | They stated the phenomenon they had studied for more than a
| |
| − | year was not ESP, but something that depended on an unknown,
| |
| − | seldom exercised sensory capability possessed by many, perhaps
| |
| − | all persons."
| |
| − | | |
| − | This finding seems quite timely and potentially useful, since
| |
| − | intricate examination suggests this new method exceeds the
| |
| − | speed of light. It appears to be instantaneous, and distance
| |
| − | seems to be no barrier. One astronaut is reported to have experimented
| |
| − | with it while standing on the moon. Some evidence
| |
| − | indicates this mode has been long recognized. References are to
| |
| − | be found in literature and art, such as Australian aboriginal art
| |
| − | which rather pointedly describes the feat of «talking on the
| |
| − | wind" to others in faraway lands.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This mode of communications has already been given a name:
| |
| − | «channeling," and those persons who have developed the ability
| |
| − | to transmit and receive other's telepathic communications are
| |
| − | called "channels."
| |
| − | | |
| − | To the question, «Why can't everyone channel?" there is evidence
| |
| − | that deepseated stresses, beliefs, or hang-ups may completely
| |
| − | block the subtle flow of mental ioformation necessary to
| |
| − | telepathy. And many of todays channels remain unaware that
| |
| − | their own psychological life-conditioning tends to color the delicate
| |
| − | translation of those language symbols received. Lenora, the
| |
| − | channel in this book (and its co-author), is rated 'superior:
| |
| − | Communications received through her talent have been recently
| |
| − | published in Path To Illumination, which received enthusiastic
| |
| − | acclaim. Lenora is a charming mother of four young adults. She
| |
| − | and her husband, Chuck, reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.
| |
| − | Chuck is a lean and easy-going type, affable and friendly to all,
| |
| − | and completely undisturbed by Lenora's unique talent. This latter
| |
| − | blossomed over a period of years to its present fluid state.
| |
| − | She has been interviewed by the media and examined by members
| |
| − | of the local scientific community. Her one desire seems to
| |
| − | be that of helping humanity understand the significance of these
| |
| − | expanding times, that now is the time to broaden one's outlook
| |
| − | and search more deeply.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lenora's working partner in this book is Joseph H. Mathes, a
| |
| − | long-time researcher into origins of life, purposes of creation,
| |
| − | and possible visits to this planet by non terrestrials. Despite volumes
| |
| − | of evidence, he maintained a firm, skeptical stance
| |
| − | throughout three decades concerniog ESP phenomena. But one
| |
| − | sunny afternoon in 1971, he was introduced to Lenora by one of
| |
| − | his associates who had been working with her for a period of
| |
| − | years.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What a jolt that introduction proved to be! Within ten short
| |
| − | minutes with Lenora, his limited opinions had to be radically revised.
| |
| − | He quickly determined that her telepathic ability was
| |
| − | genUine by asking complex questions clearly beyond her field of
| |
| − | knowledge. Lenora dazedly stated that she could hardly comprehend
| |
| − | the questions, let alone any possible answers, yet the
| |
| − | information she channeled was precisely correct. Surprised, he
| |
| − | then began to ask questions about subjects beyond his own limited
| |
| − | knowledge, and it was at this point that all the fun started.
| |
| − | 'Tis easy enough to settle down in one's snug, favorite chair,
| |
| − | pick up a book and commence to read, to sail forth upon unknown
| |
| − | adventures in the warm security and privacy of one's
| |
| − | home. But how rarely are thoughts given to the long hours, the
| |
| − | months of creative effort spent composing and collating serial
| |
| − | events ioto a Howiog, enjoyable manuscript? Even rarer is a
| |
| − | thought given to the intricate tasks handled by the publishing
| |
| − | staff. Beyond this, almost nonexistent is the thought that the authors
| |
| − | might have had real doubts as to the advisability of publishing
| |
| − | their findings during this centUry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Such was the case with this book. Its contents are somewhat
| |
| − | more than just thought provoking. To those personally present
| |
| − | during the portrayed events, the. communications and related
| |
| − | happenings were rather electrifYing. Indecision stemmed
| |
| − | primarily from the probability that by publishing these findings
| |
| − | at this time, many cherished beliefs might require reexamination.
| |
| − | Then, after considerable thought and many discussions,
| |
| − | it was felt that the gaios outweighed the losses, that the
| |
| − | contents of these communiques would surely add considerable
| |
| − | cheer and comfort to millions of anxious people, those so deeply
| |
| − | in need of a helpful boost in these troubled times. In depth
| |
| − | examination of the scales of the present revealed nothing but
| |
| − | imbalance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But how might one balance the scales of the future? Who
| |
| − | among us can say today whether future historians, (assumiug
| |
| − | there will be any), will praise or condemn a twentieth century
| |
| − | decision to explode a myth and open the drapes hiding a window
| |
| − | to tomorrow? Will this vista of tomorrow blaze too brightly and
| |
| − | dazzle eyes more comfortable behiud dark glasses? Such an intrusion
| |
| − | could hardly be condoned. A compromise was finally
| |
| − | reached with the suggestion that certain of these communications
| |
| − | be withheld for a future publication. The major bulk of the
| |
| − | transcriptions from the original sixteen tapes are included in this
| |
| − | book, which will allow the reader ample opportunity to evaluate
| |
| − | the quality, flavor, and value of this information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What is seen through a window to tomorrow? A vast desolate
| |
| − | waste? Or is it a sparkling scene offrolicking children, laughing
| |
| − | and playiug amidst trees, butterflies, and dappled wildflowers in
| |
| − | enchanted glades reminiscent of Tolkien's Lochlorien? Perhaps
| |
| − | there are those who feel such a paradise is no longer attainable.
| |
| − | Those who read this book may find a way, one which is said to be
| |
| − | effortless.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Such a fulfilled life, however, cannot come without change., A
| |
| − | river's journey is constant change and we who dwell in time's
| |
| − | river must discover an easy method of adaptiug to time's cyclical
| |
| − | changes. To remain anchored to the past is to sit like a boulder in
| |
| − | the middle of a river. In time, such rocks are worn away, no
| |
| − | longer serving as obstacles to an onward progressing, ever crea~
| |
| − | tive humanity. It is the very nature of the human mind to seek
| |
| − | greater happiness and fulfillment. Even as plants reach toward
| |
| − | the life-sustaining rays of the sun, so people reach for greater
| |
| − | happiness, security, better times.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But what of those who equate happiness and security with
| |
| − | traditional values of the past? Have they not the right to pursue
| |
| − | happiness on their own tenns, unmolested by the eagerness of
| |
| − | others who welcome change and acceleration towards the future?
| |
| − | Or is it just possible that some common denominator exists
| |
| − | that, if found, might enable both to live happily in peace and
| |
| − | harmony? Needless to say, had not this underlying fuctor been
| |
| − | found, this book would never have reached the publishers. As
| |
| − | parents, the authors could never sanction the addition of further
| |
| − | anxieties to an already overstressed society. Rather, it is expected
| |
| − | that these findings will, in time, help alleviate many of
| |
| − | our twentieth century fears and limitations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | And perhaps a word of caution will lessen future frictions resulting
| |
| − | from those who allow their emotions to affect their common
| |
| − | sense. Need it be stated that we're all in this together, that
| |
| − | we all inhabit the same planet? And that our planet is, in truth, a
| |
| − | "ship" in outer space?
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Amnesia Factor is the result of a series of tape recorded
| |
| − | events during 1971-72, adventures in a new field of communications
| |
| − | which led to a discovery, a deeply hidden planetary secret.
| |
| − | This finding may help explain not only the strange history of
| |
| − | humankind but the fundamental purpose of human existence. It
| |
| − | is the "Why?" of creation and planetary progress, the essential
| |
| − | meaning of human struggles, that baHIes the intellect. The authors
| |
| − | feel that were it not for this new method of communicating,
| |
| − | without the kind understanding and reciprocity of those "outside,"
| |
| − | these revealing insights might well have remained
| |
| − | unknowns until future times. While regarded as personal discoveries,
| |
| − | both writers are well aware of the saying: "There is
| |
| − | nothing new under the sun." It is also true that certain historic
| |
| − | writings seem to parallel several of the findings, which is not unusual.
| |
| − | But how rare it is to be privileged to probe behind the triple
| |
| − | veils of symbolism, far deeper than surface knowledge, and
| |
| − | search along unknown paths toward the deepest secret of all.
| |
| − | There is no book, however massive or enlightened, which contains
| |
| − | all answers to an infinite creation, yet it will be found that
| |
| − | two small letters of the alphabet can open a doorway to limitless
| |
| − | discoveries. There may yet be many adventures ahead for humanity,
| |
| − | not only on this small planet bnt perhaps in countless
| |
| − | other systems; and it might prove beneficial, before commencing
| |
| − | a journey through unknown territory, to learn that a destination
| |
| − | truly exists.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For all who seek fresh adventures, for those who still delight
| |
| − | in unique treasure hunts, and for those who enjoy meeting the
| |
| − | unknown and unexpected, it is hoped that this book will serve as
| |
| − | a satisfying introduction to those "outside."
| |
| − | ==Prologue==
| |
| − | <center>Amnesia Island (Fable)</center>
| |
| − | Long, long ago, in a timeless kingdom of surpassing beauty and
| |
| − | harmony, dwelt a great and wise King. Most of His Majesty's
| |
| − | royal children had earned their inheritances, had long since
| |
| − | begun to rule over their own lesser realms. But two royal children
| |
| − | yet remained, growing in the love and warmth of their Father's
| |
| − | castle. And when they had reached a certain age, the King then
| |
| − | decreed that they should go forth and meet the Seven Challenges,
| |
| − | from which they would gain the strength, wisdom, and compassion
| |
| − | so necessary to those who would rule kingdoms of their own.
| |
| − | Six times, the prince and princess were disguised and secretly
| |
| − | sent forth to live and work amongst six different peoples of six
| |
| − | different trades. And six times, these royal children returned to
| |
| − | their Father stronger, wiser, and with deeper compassion for
| |
| − | those who served the kingdom.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then the seventh and final Challenge was faced. The two children
| |
| − | must descend into the very depths of the realm, to live and
| |
| − | toil in the lowermost level of Nature's workshop, to develop a
| |
| − | lasting appreciation for Nature's creative experiments. Here, for
| |
| − | the very first time, they would encounter "change," constant and
| |
| − | ever-present cycles of seasons and changing conditions, as well as
| |
| − | the waves of opposites: pleasure and pain, love and hate, ease
| |
| − | and hardship. Change, they were to discover, was itself the hidden
| |
| − | law behind creativity. Thus the King had decreed that, above
| |
| − | all, His children must learn well the lessons of adapting to
| |
| − | change.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But as the King looked upon His young and still innocent children,
| |
| − | His heart began to melt. With great love and mercy, He decided
| |
| − | to shorten the seventh and final Challenge by granting
| |
| − | them temporary ''forgetfulness.'' Without their memories, the
| |
| − | royal children would not suffer from remembrance of their
| |
| − | golden years in the castle. Rather, they would set forth with fresh
| |
| − | eagerness to learn their lessons.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the children heard this, they immediately asked their
| |
| − | Father how they could ever find their way home without
| |
| − | memories. The King laughed and replied that when the final
| |
| − | Challenge was completed, He would send a royal messenger to
| |
| − | fetch them. But again they hesitated, knowing that without
| |
| − | memories, they might not believe the messenger. And the King
| |
| − | again replied that, in this case, He would simply send more royal
| |
| − | messengers until they believed. And if none were believed, He
| |
| − | would then send one of their elder brothers, a royal Prince, to
| |
| − | fetch them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Greatly reassured, the young prince and princess then donned
| |
| − | their new disguises and, when all preparations had been made,
| |
| − | drank the magic potion of forgetfulness. When they had fallen
| |
| − | asleep, they were gently borne to Nature's experimental isle,
| |
| − | (which is known to this very day as Amnesia Island) to commence
| |
| − | the Seventh Challenge.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But there was one secret the King never revealed to them. He
| |
| − | so dearly loved His precious children that He could not bear the
| |
| − | thought of them alone and memory legs, wandering as naked
| |
| − | babes in Nature's forests. So He sent His most trusted and beloved
| |
| − | Guardians to watch over them wherever they roamed.
