There is one equation in which I’d like to make a correction: In this fourth dimension equation that space was curved, due to the fact that the curvature of the earth, combined with the gravitational and magnetic fields of force that extend out into space, give the illusion of a parabolic curve. This makes triangulation of distant stars because of the angles of incidence or reference from straight base lines where, as they enter this magnetic field around the earth, cause them to travel in a slightly parabolic arc. Therefore, the analogy of triangulation was not correct because of the starting points. The astronomer is taking the outside lines of measurements—the only true angle of incidence they could have.
Light is affected by magnetic fields of force, as earth’s, which act as a buffer. There is as much as a fifteen percent error in the present estimates regarding light. Light travels at about 210,000 miles per second instead of the customarily estimated 186,300 miles per second. Light travels much swifter in a vacuum than it does in air. Scientists of today have not succeeded in producing a tube one hundred miles long, not even ten miles, which would give him an estimate or an approximation. Even electronic timing devices would be as much as ten percent in error because of the interpretation of the electric impulses into an electronic signal needed to make the necessary mark to define the speed. The scientist knows sound travels slower at sea levels than at high altitudes. Sound, because of its comparably slower speed, is easier to measure. With light at more than 200,000 miles per second, the problem is much more difficult; however, there is a definite relationship—the resistance of air against light.
This is a secondary factor entering in from distances of stars, as light approaching the earth is curved slightly toward the center of the earth, which is the path of least resistance—much the same manner in which light is focused by a lens. The magnetic lines of force from north and south magnetic poles also cause their distortions of light entering the earth’s atmosphere. These distortions are compounded by their constant movement around the north and south axis of the earth. The modern astronomer with his system of triangulation is sometimes in considerable error. Moreover, these errors are constantly repeated in respect to the position of the star which is being measured, inasmuch as points of triangulation are dependent with the exact timing of the earth in its rotations.
These errors can be further multiplied if the exact position of the earth in its orbit of the ellipse around the sun is not definitely established. Positioning of the earth in this orbit is extremely difficult because of the vastness of the distances involved compared to the size of the earth and the instruments used for measuring. There are also several secondary motions which the earth goes through as it revolves around the sun. This is a concentric, wobble-like motion and is more stabilized according to frequency, but varies slightly in pitch or in wave length. In all, the earth has about five different motions. These are all factors which must be taken into consideration before a definite relationship of distance with various suns and stars of the universe can be established.
The universe itself is constantly expanding. Light, in traveling through such space, assumes an affinity with such an expanding condition because in free space the factor of terminal velocities has been removed to an unknown point.
The inertia of light is relative to the density of the earth’s atmosphere through which it passes. Therefore, the speed of light, as has been determined upon the surface of the earth through atmospheric conditions, is not the same speed of light which travels through free space. In free space, light has no restrictive inertia which has been built up through atmospheric pressures, but instead, travels in a vastly accelerated speed in which it takes on an expanded condition which is similar to the dimension through which it is traveling.
The astronomer of today knows little or nothing about this vastly accelerated speed of light, traveling on the free arc of space; and in such space, time can be said to be a subdominant or non-existing factor in such speed, for light travels in such space in an entirely different rate or frequency in which space itself becomes active, inasmuch as the light now fills the place formerly occupied by space. Atomic structures within the surface of the earth and moving in their own field of molecular relationship, generate outwardly, static electricity; therefore, the earth can be said to be a highly statically charged mass of energy which causes any loose or floating particles, including air molecules of various kinds, to be attracted to the surface. The surface atoms and molecules, in turn, are attracted even more strongly to the deeper atomic structures, the rate of attraction increasing according to its square root, the base line which is its original outgoing wave form. In a general sense, the earth can be said to be attracting itself into itself.

So you see, when I came over here this time, it was like other times too. When I see these things now, I say it is very wonderful. Now I see them like they are; they are real things—not like little figures which I used to put on the paper—and I would say all these things are so because they are so and so. And like Ming-tse says, there are lots of so and so’s running around, and I do not wish to become another so and so. So we have to put these things down so everybody can understand them. When you see how it is that you look through the large end of the telescope to the small end, things get small, and when you look up through the little end, you see everything gets big. As I said a long time ago, when we point out these venturi tubes, it is just like turning the telescope around each time from the large end to the small and vice versa. That is the way all those things exist, you see.
So we always have to learn to visualize things, not as you might see merely movement, or these things appear or disappear, or you say you wiggle your little toe, and so on and so forth, but you are transferring a certain relationship of energy from an infinite number of dimensions in that one particular movement of wiggling your little toe. It means you are wiggling the whole infinite universe, and in a sense of the word, that is true because everything is linked and re-linked. Only the religionist or the scientist has a big butcher knife and he cuts all these things into little pieces. The man at the altar says this is Satan and this is Heaven; this is hell and this is something else. The scientist says, where does this go if it is not reactive to such and such and so and so—and here we go again with all the so and so’s. There are too many people running around with a butcher knife. They seem to like to cut everything to pieces and it shouldn’t be cut to pieces; it should be left whole, because there’s nothing without something. It all has to be something with something else. That is what the man (Mal Var) from Venus told you a long time ago in the book. When the man presses the key on the telegraph, he is actually activating energy which comes from the Infinite.
The principle exists that you constantly oscillate energy through the nerves of your body from the impulses which link you to the psychic body. These things are all configurations of energy which come from various different polarity patterns, different things in the psychic body and they, in turn, are linked to the superconsciousness, and so on. That is the way, because the psychic body is another great big atom in comparison with smaller atoms which are pulsating, gyrating globs of energy which contain an infinite number of formations and pulsations of energy.
Well, I’ll say I am a little so and so—a little wiggle which was made back here when somebody stabbed me with a knife—or here I’m a little wiggle and I went to College back in England a hundred years ago, and I’m a little wiggle when I drowned out here in the ocean. We are all wiggles, all similar little wiggles—the same in some ways, but some have something the other little wiggles don’t have. Each little wiggle can always say to itself, “I am so and so.” Always from these little things, they have a little voice, and the little voice is what you call the harmonic structure. It’s the little things the scientist is very vague about; he likes to call them magnetism. Magnetism is the voice in the atom of all the energy forms; the voices which call to each other and bring each other together in these little harmonic structures. They are the arms which link each other together and hold on tight. All these things too, you see, are expressing their own intelligence and something else which is saying to it that it must be so—the Infinite becoming finite in all things—and it is that way.
As Ernest says, it is pressure. Well, pressure is the term used by the physicists. In the sense of the word, if you think of something you are generating an electrical pressure, and that pressure has to travel somewhere all during your life. When you think about wiggling your little toe, you generate pressure of energy; an EMF (electro-magnetic force) which goes down the nerves to the little toe and says, “You wiggle,” and it wiggles. So that is the way we have to put things to people who are not educated along the lines of physics and electronics, and they don’t have the faculties to tune in to where all of these things are, where they exist in perfect form and consciousness.
If everyone could look back far enough into his mind and get over the barriers of his materialism, he could see all these things like Ernest sees them, and you, too. Sister Ruth, will do the same; you have been doing the same for over three years now. You have been seeing these things, not only here on earth, but you have been seeing them when you were asleep too. You have been seeing them so many times; that is the reason you can understand them so much more easily. Most people can’t. They have become a part of you, just as all the other little wiggles are a part of you. It all has to be sublimation; in other words, linkages to harmonic structures, the little arms, fingers and voices of the energies which are the harmonics in the ear. Their frequency relationship locks themselves in. You will see it on the television—what they call the pulses of synchronization from the transmitter when they are so properly integrated with circuitry in the television set, which generates similar pulses. And when these pulses are beating with each other like, we’ll say, two hearts that go bump, bump, bump together, well, you can’t tear them apart. Nothing can jiggle them; they’ve locked. Why? Because like the gears in the machine, like the gears in your watch, they cannot be torn apart, because they are very fundamental in their structure and their relationship to each other. Always back of these things, they find more and more powerful things which are saying the same things—and when they go on out, they get even greater things which are saying that all these things are so. And now I’m beginning to say more so and so’s again.
But I’ll not stay long; I only wish to break the monotony a moment and say hello, and when the little machine (tape recorder) is done, I’ll go. You see, so many things I could explain to you from science, but your earth scientists are a bunch of dummkopfs, anyway. The very greatest of all their inventions they have stumbled upon, like bats running around in a bright room. You know bats are blind when they have too much light, but the scientist is blind too, when he has too much light. For instance, he invented the silicon cell, which is the cell of little tiny crystals. He goes out on the slag heaps of the great refineries and sees a lot of silicon, which is a byproduct of the heat in the furnaces from smelting out copper. Beryllium and many other different byproducts, very, very valuable to use, he finds on the slag heap, and he finds them accidentally, stumbling blindly.
Silicon is a transducer; in other words, it can, under a small, stimulating current, throw off a great stream of electrons even much more efficiently than a tungsten filament. So what does he do? He makes a silicon cell which, when it is activated by light, can transduce light into electricity. He takes silicon and he forms a certain junction with two or three other little things like “cat whiskers” and he puts a little “juice” on one end; it comes out as little electrons on the other. So now he has something much better than the vacuum tube. But it is all accident, stumbling around like bats in a very bright daylight. You see when bats come out of the attic in the daylight they are blind; they cannot see; their eyes are too thick. They can only see at night because they have eyes that see at night. The old saying that a bat is blind is very foolish. The darker the night, the better he can see because his eyes are so constructed that way; and a bat also hears better than radar. He sends out tiny little squeaks; the squeaks echo back to him and he can tell when there are strings around the room.
So the man of science thinks he is smart, but he is a dummkopf. He has invented penicillin by mistake. He invented all of those many other things, all by mistake. So he is a dummkopf because he is not able to tune up to these things like Ernest does, and like somebody who comes along and leaves something for the posterity of mankind. To say this is so and this is not so, according to my slide rule—the little digits here on my pencil and paper and which must conform—all foolishness. I was an expert in mathematics in my time, and it is probably well, because it was my tongs, with which I could reach into the laboratories and shake them by the back of the neck. But we have to go beyond that if we are going to get somewhere, and we’ll have to go beyond that because we cannot have a system of mathematics which will go “upstairs” simply because man cannot, in himself, think “upstairs”. When he can do that, perhaps he will invent a system of mathematics to equate the Infinite.
Those things around him are like the many, many roads—like a bunch of rats running around in an old warehouse; they have many trails. So the scientist just picked the wrong trail, but someday he won’t have to. There is one man who is quite a smart boy and his name is Oppenheimer. He says, “Well, you can look upstairs,” and now he’s starting to look up a little bit too. He woke up and he said, “Well, these figures are no good anymore,” running around like mad, calling all the magazines. You know, I read these things through Ernest’s mind, too; when I tune in by his “sending set”, I can tune in to him. That Oppenheimer is a smart boy; he is the father of the atom bomb. Anyway, you know! He was getting things when he would go way out there in the big B-29 airplanes—the cosmic rays with mesons, which regenerated themselves into positrons and neutrons, and so forth. Ernest had it even two years before that, and he had it all on paper. Why? Because he could tune “upstairs” without the B-29. There has to be these things these days.
Someone always has to go ahead and dig the post holes to put the fence in. Someone is always going up the road and surveying for a new highway; someone has always got to go ahead. And they are the ones who suffer the most; they are the ones who get in the poison ivy. They are the ones who fall in the ditches and on the rocks, in the nettles and the things you know. The people who lag along behind do not know how many people have sweat, striven and toiled over that highway to make it look smooth and nice, and it took many, many years, perhaps. Everything good that is brought to man is by sweat, toil and blood and mostly, the blood is shed by those who are bringing these things to man.
I was fortunate in my own life. I was given a medal and they say I was a great man, but I felt very foolish because I knew it was not great at all; how absolutely weak all of the things were around and how much more we have to gain. The more we gained, the more I knew how weak we were; we were weak in the brain power. Now they are all wrapped up in their sputniks—and such foolishness. They have to have a lot of these beep beeps going around, sending out all these beep beeps. So what? The Russians have one with an eye in it, so we say, well, pretty soon we’ll have one with an eye in it. And they’ll tell us what they’re doing in the United States; they’ll look down our chimneys and see what we are doing in the houses. Yes, and then the Americans have to think up one with an eye in it that looks down the Russian’s chimneys to see what they are doing. So what? Everybody has to be busybodies—a big bunch of noseys! Why don’t they learn to live with themselves and live in conditions which are harmonious with each other, instead of being busybodies and saying, “Well, you have a bigger bomb than I have. If your bomb goes off, then what? You’re a so and so for doing that,” and so on and so forth.
The bomb is anything but cold, but there would be many necks which would be hot under the collar. Many of those necks would be red and many of those necks are too stiff to bend one way or the other. People should use a little more temperance in their way of life and be a little more philosophical towards their fellowman. They get out on the highways and they get so stiff-necked they kill themselves off, well, like cattle, and they run around like crazy nuts. They love to get to a camping ground and get all bit up with mosquitoes, then they have to rush back like a bunch of madmen so they can work themselves into another place. It’s very, very stupid the way I look at it. They are all little children and maybe they are learning things. Maybe someday they will be able to get up to where things will be a little better for them, because they all have one thing in common anyway—big energies into the Infinite. After all, man is just one more of the countless dimensions of expression.
