The Next Dimension — Chapter 1

x
At the Chen-Rig Temple, waiting to depart for the Next Dimension on the Tour.

This is the first introductory talk on how to visit many different alternate parallel worlds, and will be a sort of compendium, a map, travel instructions and a guide for visitors, with a specific set of triggers that will enable you to actually visit through quantum entanglement various inter-dimensional Ports O’ Call.

We will begin our voyage at the usual meeting place, the Chen-Rig Temple in Prosperity Virtual Ashram. Using cyberspace as a medium, we can actually trigger ourselves into a mode where we are able to travel with our consciousness and awareness, directly out of  one dimension into another, with our in-world character, our Avatar, as our representative and personal guide.

If we hope to really make this work, we’re going to have to consciously use “believing” as a conscious tool for evolution.

Belief is not faith. Faith DEPENDS upon nonrational, unexamined and unquestioned obedience to a specific belief in something, or in a set of fixated beliefs ABOUT something, such as a Virgin Birth.

Birthing of various sorts, mostly virgin, are common to ALL prophets and saviors, of whom there have always been more than plenty to go around. I myself was born into a family that has been sterile for seven generations.

Why must these beliefs be unexamined? Why unquestioning?

Because we must not open the box. Schrodinger’s Cat must be in BOTH Dead & Alive States without disturbance, that’s why. Only when the Cat is in BOTH zero and one modes can the magic work, and that’s why we don’t examine those beliefs we’re using to get into the next dimension.

Everybody wants a piece of God. Souvenir hunting aside, it’s not a bad idea, and several religious groups make a point of consuming the flesh and blood of their very own personal savior.

Do you have a favorite flavor savior?

Conscious Believing has nothing to do with facts. Conscious Believing is the ACTIVE ACT of deciding to believe that something is POSSIBLE, such as an UNEXPLAINED way that an apparently magical effect could have been achieved, thus:

STATE ZERO OF BELIEVING: That this effect could have been produced by a trick of some kind, including misdirection and sleight of hand.

STATE ONE OF BELIEVING: That this effect could have been produced by some unknown laws of magic, which seem to, but don’t, violate natural laws.

STATE ZERO and STATE ONE of both must be present and UNVIEWED, meaning that they are left there to lie in whichever state they happen to be in which, when left untampered and non-impacted, they both exist equally on an infinite time-plane.

You need to leave the question of “How is it done?” alone. Gosh, is that too much to ask of you? I hope not, because this is the crux of the Voyaging Method, which I learned as a child from Peter Pan herself.

Here’s how it happened. World-famous actor Cyril Ritchard was a family friend, and often came over to our apartment at 349 East 49th Street on Friday nights for my parents’ friendly and social penny-ante poker games.

When the cards came out, I vanished into my room — my first real magic trick, performed to an audience of one — my Dad would stop in to see if I wanted a glass of kitchen water. I didn’t care much; New York City water carries a full set of microscopic life, each drop a world of its own.

Cyril got hold of a copy of the stage script from the Broadway musical where he was co-starring with Mary Martin, which was to open on October 20, 1954. It had already played to audiences in San Francisco and New York.

The James Barrie play had been first performed by Nina Boucicault as Peter in the London production, and starring Maude Adams in the New York run, both in 1905.

I was not able to go to the opening night performance, so I was invited to go to the rehearsal instead and, because Joe Stafford had a sore throat, Cyril suggested that I read his part, which I had memorized over the past three weeks using the script Cyril had brought, and that’s what I did, and that’s where I learned the secret of flying.

During the rehearsal, I learned from Peter Pan herself that all you need for flying skills is to believe that you can fly. Simple enough. Use pixie or fairy dust. Right on, girl.

The part of Peter has always been a girl’s part, played by my friend Sandy Duncan in the 1979 Broadway production, and gymnast Cathy Rigby in the 90s. Peter is basically a mime part, and was born out of the Great Mime Revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Believe. Just believe. You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!

You might not actually fly. Don’t tie a beach towel around your neck and go jumping off into space, at least until you’re sure.

Don’t panic, if you can’t fly all at once the first time you try. Failure at flying is only temporary and flying doesn’t happen all at once.

We have to start small. Believe that you can levitate just one little bitty inch off the floor or ground, and you can do it.

Well, you have to have a little help at first, but eventually you will become comfortable enough above the ground that you will allow yourself to actually levitate, at first only once in a while, then later, as your confidence grows, you’ll be levitating all the time, even when it appears that you’re obeying the Law of Gravity, and you appear to be walking solidly on the ground.

This is a good thing, and shows compassion for local life-forms. They tend to get upset when a person floats about, especially when it happens downtown or at the mall, unless the floating person is a celebrity magician, in which case, they block their fears and go for the autograph.

So if you’re in the market for personal flight management, believing is a tool for achieving flight that you won’t want to be without.

Size means nothing.

If you took a 3-D model of a house, including a yardstick, and reduced it down even smaller into a tiny little model of a model, and got inside it to its own scale, the yardstick would look perfectly normal, like any other yardstick.

But hold that miniaturized yardstick next to a yardstick of the original size, and you’ll see a difference between the two that isn’t apparent when you only see one yardstick in its own scale, compared to nothing else.

There’s a universe right next door to this one, did you know that? And if you can find a portal, there are ways to get to ANY alternate universe to which you want to go.

Of course, you’ll want to know the options, and there are plenty, and every option carries with it automatically a scale of good-to-bad on several important issues, such as how much or little pain you’ll have to endure — life is pain, as you may have discovered, and in choosing worlds to visit, how much freedom from pain will be an issue.

So I’m going to ask you to, firstly, SUSPEND THE DISBELIEF. It’s not a question of what you believe, but of what you automatically reject.

Automatic rejection is prejudice. Pre-Judice, a decision made before evidence has been presented, tending to disregard any evidence that does happen to enter into the picture.

Using our ordinary perceptions as a guide, we can follow the actions of our representative in the Next Dimension and, so far as you are able to suspend the DISbelief, you will be able to CONSCIOUSLY IDENTIFY with your Avatar, and thus experience SOME level of transfer into that dimension.

Is it complete transference? Sometimes, yes, but if you’re of the rejective type, you won’t notice a thing. Everything will be all right, just as it always is. You’ll find the 7-11 Convenience Store open 24 hours. If you land in a different dimension, the 24 hours might not necessarily be in a row.

The Black Falcon features a full complement of the very latest CQR navigation Beacon technology, along with limnal radar, x-d imaging and a 7.6 herz DD3 Alert System for boundary crossings.

You don’t want to lose passengers on a boundary crossing, but it can happen, and every passenger is required to learn the Recovery Procedure. In the event of a crossover spill, you’ll probably end up in the water at the bottom of the sea. It’s all right, just levitate yourself up to the air and over to the nearest bank, then dry your clothing instantly with dummo heat.

If you don’t know how to levitate in this world, how do you expect to get along in worlds where everyone levitates? Classes in levitation are offered every day here at the Ashram.

Are you afraid of what you might encounter in those strange realms beyond the skin? It might be well to encounter those things now, while you have a chance to recover from it and learn how to deal with each strange encounter of the Between-Lives State, the Bardos.

What would it take to get the fears out of the way?

Actually going through it without personal harm might just do the trick, so we’ll take a look at some possibilities for your Next Trans-Dimension Weekend Getaway, but before you grab your weekender luggage bag and head on out to the Prosperity Airport to board the Black Falcon for the dimensional destination of your choice, you’ll probably want to glance through the Short Catalog of Next Dimensions, to get some idea of the options available to you as a trans-dimensional voyager with a few Bardo Bucks to burn.

SUPER-BEACON DIMENSIONS:

World L1-1a

 An Ancient Roman Holiday is a great way to cheer yourself up and get a wild taste of extravagant public exhibitions, such as you’ll find at the Coliseum, Circus Maximus and the many gladatorial colleges around town.

If you enjoy the thrill of combat, gambling with dice and hopscotch, if dispassionate cruelty is your model for inspiration, this is the world for you!

For the gourmand, there is a world of discovery in today’s Ancient Rome, your Gateway to Gluttony, and the best part is that you can eat all you want and you won’t get fat from it. Nothing in the food you eat will go to the thighs or the tummy.

You can eat all you want and not explode.  Sex is a different matter entirely. You can deliver a baby in New Ancient Rome, but you can’t find a decent grade school in any neighborhood and pizzas abound, but they don’t deliver.

World L1-2a

Pharaoh Seti XII is currently in power. His regime is relatively humane, reasonably relaxed, if you don’t mind donating a few months of your time every year to the pyramid project he has in progress even as we speak.

Hauling the ropes on the limestone block rollers will provide an invigorating and health-building weekend getaway experience for you and your companions.

If you like roasted things and stuffed things and heady wine, fresh grapes and an occasional unidentifiable gourmet offering, this is the palace of your dreams!

World L1-3a

The World of Nemu, son of Nefu-Ankh-Amen, where strength and courage are rewarded by life, meaning that if you convince the local population that you could just as easily kill them as go fishing, they will tend to let you survive the weekend.

One advantage about modern life in this ancient unbroken line of rule is stability. There are no threats from other nations, because there are no other nations.

Thievery is unknown here. Courage and inquisitiveness are rewarded, and the level of success in the local treasure hunt is much higher than you might expect.

Of course there’s a game involved. All worlds have SOME game woven into them, or why make a world in the first place? In this world, the game is a kind of paper chase.

World L1-4a

The world of Na-Nasha Aventurina, in which you will spawn into a beautiful villa, in which there are many treasures, but only three that are worthwhile collecting and taking to the Magic Cottage, where they will be transformed into a Key to the Higher Realm. Magical texts must be read and the magic spells learned in order to pass from one gradation to the next.

The food in L1-4a is significantly impressive, the wines better than any vintage you’ve ever had in any lifetime, and the table service prompt and precise. You will find that the main game here is information, but the real key to progress toward the Higher is in the food and the services you perform along the way.

World L1-5a

The World of Queen Hat-Shep-Sut XXIV is one of glamor and beauty, aesthetics and wondrous vistas, castles and palatial gardens built with the simple particle beam weapon worn as a harmless-looking simple, plain golden ring.

If you’re a natural builder and love the simple repetitive tasks of tiling thousands and thousands of weightless 40-ton boulders into a palace wall, you’ll love the challenge of L1-5a’s boundless rolling hills and sparkling lakes and streams.

Commonly called “The God World” by many religions and scholars, L1-5a can be a wonderful vacation spot away from the glitter and glamour of Hollywood & Vine, or your next-nearest local intersection, wherever you may happen to be standing, sitting, lying or floating, at this very moment.

World L1-6a

If you like flying in an open biplane, this is the world for you, because there was no World War One here, so no need for zeppelins, attack fighters, long-range bombers or missiles either for attack or defense.

My favorite pastime is heading over to L1-6a for a bit of flight time in my fabulous new Cessna 381-k that can turn on a dime and fly at full rudder in a pullup spin. I don’t mind the extra g’s because I’m impervious to any pain but my own.

You’ll find a very well-kept and well-provisioned airfield here at the location provided by the Transport Service, depending upon at which airport you happen to land. Some are open all year ’round, but some are not, notably the winter recreation grounds, which can be snowed in from November all the way through March, but you can still visit by taking the Trans-Dimensional Railway through the long tunnel at Ganesh Pass in the Karnak Mountain Range, where you will find the Prosperity Path Ski Lodge.

Winter sports available at the ski lodge are, of course, skiing and skating, but you’ll also enjoy ice fishing and curling. There are over 100 curling clubs in L1-6a.

Locals who call themselves “The People” call their world “The Earth” — how quaint is that?

World L1-7a

The world of Italian Rule, currently presided over by His Majesty King Luigi IV, this is a place of never-ending streams of abondanza of all kinds, but especially pizza, which is the main food of all peoples everywhere living in this space-time discontinuum called L1-7a, but not by them — to them, this is Rome, but a Rome in which there was no revolt, no rebellion, no upheavals or invasions, 2,000 years of uninterrupted peace.

Of course, there are a few downsides to this state of eternal peace. For one thing, anyone not obeying the law as posted daily are typically shot on sight. This discourages the tourist trade, but the local authorities seem unconcerned by this thought.

The Black Falcon —

When you board the Black Falcon, you will know without a doubt that you are a passenger in the latest high tech trans-dimensional carriers this side of Heaven.

The Black Falcon is equipped not only with the best navigation gear available, it is a stunningly beautiful aircraft that travels far beyond the speed of light, and yet the landing lights, cabin lights and instrument panel all work just fine!

See You At The Top!!!
