Well, I know I said that we were going to get back to The Wave, proper, and we are. But first I want to take another little sidetrack into the fun and interesting subject of "Monsters!" Yup! Monsters! Now, you ask, what do Monsters have to do with the wave? Well, perhaps a great deal. Throughout history there have been reports of strange and anomalous creatures visiting our world. The most recent well publicized instance is the so-called Chupacabras of (primarily) Latin American fame. Any of you who have read the reports of this bizarre creature will immediately make the connections to the cases I am going to recount for your reading pleasure here.
So begins one version of the tale of the "Beast of Gevaudan," a strange and horrible creature which began its rampage of terror in June of 1764, and continued its mysterious appearances and disappearances for over two years. It started in the Mercoire forest near Langogne when a young woman was out watching her cows. She suddenly was charged by a hideous beast. Her dogs (curiously) ran away, and she would have been killed if the cows had not kept the monster at bay with their horns. The woman got away with a few scratches, torn clothing and shattered nerves. (Shattered nerves DO seem to be one of the constants in these types of cases, which may be a "connection," as we will see further on.) She was able to describe the beast to the people of her village as being about the size of a cow with a very wide chest, a huge head and neck, short straight ears and a nose like a greyhound. Two long fangs protruded from each side of its black mouth. Its tail was long and exceptionally thin and it had a black stripe running from the top of the head to the tip of the tail. She also said it could make leaps of as much as 30 feet at a time. It was the general opinion of those hearing this description, that it was some type of gigantic wolf. Are we dealing with a hysterical account here? I mean, who ever heard of a wolf as big as a cow? A wolf that can leap 30 feet at a time? Keep those "leaps" in mind also... In the following months, the beast attacked women and children and solitary men who took the livestock out to pasture. Many were devoured or carried off. People also found half-ravaged dead bodies and torn-off limbs scattered about. On October 8, 1764, two hunters saw the beast and shot at it from only 10 paces. On this occasion, the beast fell down, but got up immediately. The hunters shot once more - and again the beast fell down. But, it got back up and unsteadily ran into a nearby wood. As it ran away, the hunters shot it yet again, and each time it fell and got back up and continued to run. People were sure it had been seriously wounded and that it would be found dead the next day. Instead, a greater than usual number of people were killed in the following days as though the Beast were seeking retribution for the attacks against it. The next month, a Captain Duhamel took charge of the situation and organized the peasants as beaters so that he and his company of Dragoons - 40 foot soldiers and 17 mounted soldiers - could corner and kill the beast. But, the beast was not to be fooled into a trap. Every time they thought they had it surrounded and started shooting, it managed to escape. A large reward was offered for the capture of the beast and this brought hunters from all over France. The hunt went on for months. The peasants soon got tired of all these hunters and soldiers eating their food and trampling down their crops and rumblings of discontent were heard. At the same time, the beast launched into a rampage even more terrible than before - right under the noses of the hunters and soldiers! It was as though it FED on the negative feelings and became even more daring and powerful. King Louis XV sent a famous hunter, Msr. Denneval, to the district. Denneval was reputed to have killed 1200 wolves. He began to track the Beast with his bloodhounds in February of 1765. In March, when Denneval had been tracking the beast for a month, the three children of a family named Denis were watching their livestock near Malzieu. Jacques, aged 16, had lit a fire under a rock outcrop and Julienne, in her 20's, had wandered away for a moment. Jeanne was close by Jacques who was tending the fire. Suddenly, she screamed. The beast was upon her and had seized her by the head. Jacques managed to save her by throwing the beast onto the fire and holding it there until it struggled away, howling. Jeanne was left with two gaping wounds - one behind each ear - and a torn shoulder. All of the wounds healed. But Jeanne went mad and never recovered her sanity. She experienced repeated bouts of quivering terror that made her scream as though the Beast were on her again. Her sister, Julienne, who had been present at the time, but had wandered away for a moment, felt guilty for not protecting Jeanne and was heard to say: "Now it is either the beast or me." She began to "expose" herself to the beast by wandering the slopes of Malzieu. Jacques Denis vowed to avenge his sister, Jeanne, and joined the great hunter Denneval. The tactics being used by this hunter involved allowing the beast to gain confidence to come out into the open so it could then be surrounded by the hunters and dogs rather than trying to beat it into a corner. However, this strategy didn't work either. The Beast would often be pursued by the dogs and scores of men who were soon exhausted by racing over the rough terrain, but the monster kept going with seeming superhuman endurance. And, it always left a path of slaughtered children, torn bodies, and body parts in its wake. On April 29, 1765, a nobleman named De la Chaumette spotted the beast near his home in Saint-Chely. He saw it stalking a shepherd in a pasture and called his two brothers to get their guns and the three of them went to ambush the Beast. They shot at it. The Beast collapsed on the ground and rolled over two or three times. De la Chaumette fired again. The Beast rolled towards the wood, managed to gain shelter and fled. Great splashes of blood stained the ground and brush all around the area, so it was clear that the beast had been wounded. Everyone felt it had gone away to die. This happened at the beginning of the Spring Fair at Malzieu in May of 1765, so it turned into a big celebration over the death of The Beast. In the midst of the festivities, a rider galloped into the square and shouted: "Marguerite is done for. The Beast has got her!" Marguerite happened to be a friend of Jacques Denis, the young man who had sworn to kill the beast to avenge his sister, Jeanne. He rushed off to find Marguerite, and she was right at the outskirts of the village, lying in her own blood, her throat ripped open. (Seem a bit peculiar that this one family has so many "connections" to the Beast?) On that day, the Beast killed three people, but didn't even bother to eat them as was his usual habit. Another series of "retributions" for having been shot? In any event, these gruesome deaths caused the peasants to go crazy with rage and despair. Grabbing pitchforks, pikes, long poles, bayonets, and whatever else came to hand, they put the dogs onto the fresh scent of the Beast, and led by the outraged Jacques Denis, set off to find the beast or else! As it happened, Jacques soon found himself confronting the beast for the second time. He attacked with a bayonet. The Beast leaped upon him and he would have been killed, but the crowd of villagers arrived at that moment and the beast fled. The King was furious because this beast was making France look ridiculous. England was using it as a vehicle for "French bashing," and this was a state of affairs that could not be tolerated any longer. Louis sent his personal gun carrier, Antoine de Beauterne, to deal with the problem. The great hunter, Denneval, had already given up after the debacle in June. At the same time, the Beast went on a fresh rampage. On June 16 it mangled a little girl who was saved at the last minute. On the 21st it killed a 14 year old boy, devoured a 45 year old woman, and carried off another little girl. The Church got involved at this point, declaring that the Beast was a "messenger of evil" sent to punish the people for their sins. (How typical!) Rumors of witchcraft and dark rites and werewolves started to spread and it was increasingly clear that this was NOT your normal "giant wolf" or anything that the people had ever dealt with before! Well, for three months, the King's "problem solver," Antoine de Beauterne, did nothing. He inspected the area, drew maps, surveyed the routes taken by the beast, and just generally analyzed the problem. Finally, on September 21, he organized a beat with 40 local hunters and 12 dogs. Following de Beauterne's instructions, based on his "intuition," the beaters encircled a ravine in the wood of Pommier. Suddenly, the dogs began barking furiously. The Beast was, indeed, there, so de Beauterne's analysis had been correct. The dogs were unleashed and the beast was forced out into the clearing. It began turning wildly at the edge of the wood, looking for an escape. It hesitated, and then came forward into the sunlight. De Beauterne shot it and some of the buckshot struck the animal's right shoulder. One shot went through its right eye and its skull. The beast fell and the hunters sounded the horn of triumph. Suddenly, to everyone's stupefied amazement, the Beast got up and went toward Antoine de Beauterne. One man fired at it, and the shot went through its thigh. But, seemingly possessed of supernatural energy, the beast turned, found a hole in the "net," and ran off into a pasture beyond. Then, the beast collapsed again. Dead at last. It measured 6 feet from nose to base of tail and weighed 143 pounds. It had a huge head with fangs about 1.5 inches long. It was stuffed and taken to the King. Later it was taken to the Museum of Natural History where it was kept until the beginning of the 20th century. Where it may be now, I have been unable to determine as most of the resources are in French. But, that was NOT the end of the story! As it happened, for the next two months - until the end of November, 1765 - the killings went on, but were forbidden to be spoken of by order of the king! So, either the "right" beast was not killed - or there were TWO of them! The month of December was a nightmare. People barricaded themselves in their homes in terror of the Beast who could not be named or discussed. Julienne Denis who had vowed "it's the Beast or me," had continued to wander the countryside in a sort of half-crazed state and disappeared on the day before Christmas. Jacques Denis went out to search for his sister. She was never seen again though some unrecognizable remains were found along a narrow ravine a week later. All that winter the carnage continued. More searches were made, but the public "outcry" and "mass hysteria" was suppressed by the king's orders. The winter of 1766/67 was calmer with only a few disappearances. But, in the spring, the rampage began again. It is not even known how many were killed because the king's suppression orders meant that many deaths from the ravages of the Beast were not recorded as such and many families, fearing the king's wrath, did not admit to the deaths. But, from March to June of 1767 it is thought that there were at least 14 victims of the Beast in one small area around Paulhac. In May and June the peasants began to go on pilgrimages to pray for relief from the Beast. One pilgrim, Jean Chastel, obtained three blessed cartridges from his pilgrimage. June 19, 1767, another beat was organized by a local nobleman which consisted of 300 hunters and beaters. Jean Chastel joined the fray and positioned himself on the Sogne d'Aubert in the same way Antoine de Beauterne had placed himself in the Beal ravine when the first Beast had been killed. He opened his prayer book and began to read while he waited for the Beast. The Beast, on the run from the dogs and beaters, came out in front of Chastel. Chastel calmly finished praying, closed the book, took off his glasses and put them away in his pocket. He then raised his gun and fired. The Beast fell and Chastel reportedly said: "You will kill no more!" According to various sources, after the second creature was gutted, the remains of a small girl was found inside its entrails. For several weeks the carcass of the gigantic creature was hauled around the countryside to celebrate its death. It is said that on the spot where the beast fell, the grass will not grow. H. Sidky, author of Witchcraft, Lycanthropy, Drugs, and Disease: An Anthropological Study of the European Witch-Hunts. (New York: Peter Lang Publishing, Inc. 1997) writes:
Later investigations proved the events described did happen and that the creature was a "rare type of wolf." This was the opinion of the experts at the time, and subsequent Crypto zoologists confirmed the reports by using surgeons reports as a basis for their determination. A "rare type of wolf," they say? How rare? Only two of them in all the world? Or, have other, similar wolves been found in other places and times? It's hard to make an assessment of the story because most of the research material is in French, and the reports of the time were, undoubtedly, somewhat biased so that later studies based on these reports, burdened by the modern day biases, are even more obscure. I did think that it was curious that on the occasions when the Beast had been shot and thought to be sure to die, it returned with a vengeance as though either consciously seeking revenge for its wounds, or because it was endowed with some supernatural strength as a result of the attacks against it! Now, the Beast of Gevaudan was sort of a "nine-day-wonder" compared to Spring-Heeled Jack who terrorized the people of London for decades! Another most interesting tale that is worth a little perusal. In our modern times, the stories of Spring-Heeled Jack are dismissed as figments of the Victorian imagination. One theory was that it was a creation of servants and the lower classes on which they cast the blame for their own negligence or pilfering. Some people think it was made up to frighten young children into behaving or "Spring-Heeled Jack will get you." The fact is: Spring-Heeled Jack's appearances were widely reported in the local and national press (though THAT is no guarantee that he was real, for sure!) No one is exactly sure when Jack made his first appearance and there are sources that report circulation of these stories as early as 1817. But, it was only in 1837 that Jack became a news item of widespread interest. In September 1837 in London, Jack attacked three women in the dark of the night. One of the victims, Polly Adams, reportedly had her dress torn off which allowed Jack to scratch at her stomach with his "iron clad" fingers - apparently a reference to long claws. The victims later described Jack as a tall, thin and powerful man who wore a dark cloak, glowing red or orange eyes, and the ability to spit blue flames. Attacks continued and London's Lord Mayor, Sir John Cowan, declared Spring-Heeled Jack a menace in January 1838. A vigilante group soon formed to capture Jack, but he was able to escape all attempts. Supposedly he was able to escape by making great leaps of up to 25 or 30 feet at a time! (Now, where have we heard THAT before?) On Wednesday, February 18, 18 year-old Lucy Scales and her sister Margaret were returning home after visiting their brother. Lucy was slightly ahead of her sister and, when she passed the entrance to an alley, a figure leaped on her from out of the darkness, breathing fire into her face, and then bounding away in great, springing leaps. Lucy collapsed to the ground in a seizure. Two days later, on the 20th of February, Jane Alsop responded to a violent ringing of the doorbell of her parents' home. Just outside the door was an extremely excited man who identified himself as a policeman and said "For God's sake bring me a light for we have caught Spring-heeled Jack in the lane!" Jane brought a candle and handed it to the policeman who suddenly threw off his cloak. Under this garment, he was dressed very strangely indeed! He had on a large helmet and a skin-tight, white suit that appeared to be oilskin. His eyes were red and protruding as he glared at Jane and began to vomit blue and white flames in her face! (Now, at this point, my question is about the candle. Was it necessary to have a source of "flame" in order to produce this strange "dragon breath?" The presence of a candle or other prior flame was not mentioned in the report of Lucy Scales, but it is a fact that modern day "fire breathers" use a flame to ignite the volatile mixtures they take into their mouths. There also seems to be no mention of any kind of strong odor as of any gaseous mixture, but that doesn't mean it wasn't present. The witnesses may have been too hysterical to accurately describe every detail.) At any event, Jane was temporarily blinded, and Jack grabbed her with "talon like fingers" and tore her dress, raking and scratching her skin in the process. Naturally, Jane was screaming her head off and her two sisters came running, grabbed her away from the fiend, and slammed the door in his face. A week later Jack tried the same trick, but the intended victim must have heard about the first incident and was on guard. Jack fled and a witness said that he was wearing an ornate crest with a gold filigree "W" on his clothing. (?) Sounds a bit like a "Superhero" of today! Nevertheless, Jack's appearances became less frequent and spread out over a larger area for a time, until 1843, when a new wave of terror began. He appeared then in Northamptonshire, Hampshire and East Anglia. In 1845 Jack was seen in a "low rent district" immortalized by Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist, where he cornered a 13 year-old prostitute and breathed fire into her face and threw her into a ditch where she drowned. Thus, Jack went beyond terrorizing people into being a murderer. There were isolated reports of Spring-heeled Jack over the next 27 years, but most of them were iffy in terms of being poorly witnessed, but in November of 1872, London was in a state of commotion again over the "Peckham Ghost" which was commented on in the Newspapers as being "as mysterious and alarming as Spring-heeled Jack had been to the previous generation." In 1877 Jack supposedly appeared again at Aldershot Barracks in March, and the figure was shot at on one occasion by a soldier, but seemed to be impervious to bullets. Ten years later, in 1887, Jack supposedly frightened several young ladies in Cheshire by rushing into a room where they were assembled. He swept the knickknacks off the mantle and then ran right out. This appearance was said to be a hoax and due to a wager by the sons of several well-known men that one of them should impersonate the original Jack in a convincing way. There were many theories about who might have been going around masquerading as this strange creature who could leap enormous distances and breathe fire and who had eyes like glowing coals, but no satisfactory explanation has ever been put forward. No one was ever caught, no one was ever positively identified, even with vigilante committees on the prowl bent on capturing Jack at various times. There were numerous sightings of the "Spring-heeled" figure leaping and bounding away, but no explanation for this has ever been given either. One question that came up in my mind when thinking about all this was the fact that Jack the Ripper was also a "Jack," and the time frame could, conceivably, embrace HIS activities. I have a whole collection of books on The Ripper, each with a different theory as to who Jack the Ripper really was and I Do, of course, have my favorite theory which does not include any "anomalous events." But, that does not exclude such from our consideration of the Ripper phenomenon, particularly when considering the events of the Beast of Gevaudan and the rapacious appetites of that creature! It is, certainly, true that the Ripper MUST have had some amazing way to "escape" detection which COULD include "leaping over buildings" or whatever. And, supposedly, the Ripper murders started and stopped in mysterious ways for which no reasonable explanation has been offered other than the perpetrator must have either committed suicide, been committed to a mental hospital, or traveled to either America or Australia. (Those are all theories that are seriously considered.) Back in the 1980's I read John Keel's The Mothman Prophecies. I have to say that this really strange book actually kept me up at night with the implications of the strange things that actually COULD be "out there" and about which we knew very little. I recently read a bumper sticker that said: "if you are not outraged, you aren't paying attention." Well, I would like to amend that to "If you are not AMAZED, you aren't paying attention!" There are things going on here on the Big Blue Marble that are just perfectly astounding! Charles Fort was a great collector of these things, and there are just piles and piles of references and well-attested cases for any interested person to study. But, when you begin to go through all of it, with an open mind, in addition to amazement, your puzzlement will increase to such a level that you will no longer be able to hold onto your old views of reality. In Strange and Unexplained Phenomena, (Clark and Pear, 1997) we find a concise discussion of Mothman, a more recent phenomenon, appearing in West Virginia in 1966. He was first reported to have been seen, apparently, by two young married couples who were driving by an abandoned dynamite factory in Point Pleasant late in the evening. What they saw first were two large eyes, (glowing red, I understand) two inches wide and six inches apart, attached to something that was sort of figured like a man, only bigger, and which had huge wings folded against its back! The four young people panicked and sped away but saw the creature again on a hillside next to the road! It then spread its "bat like" wings, rose into the air and followed their car. It seemed to be keeping up with them quite easily even though they accelerated to 100 mph in an effort to "lose" the creature. One of the witnesses said that it was keeping up with them without even flapping its wings! The same night, however, it seems that someone else had seen Mothman even earlier. A Mr. Newell Partridge, living outside of Salem, West Virginia (90 miles from Point Pleasant), was watching television when the screen suddenly went blank and a "fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and ... the set started a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch, peaking and breaking off... It sounded like a generator winding up." Mr. Partridge's dog began to howl and continued to do so even after the noisy television was turned off. Partridge went outside and saw his dog facing the barn about 150 yards away, so he shined a flashlight in that direction and saw "two red circles, or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors." The dog took off after the creature but Partridge tried to call him back without success. Mr. Partridge went in after his gun, but was so unnerved by the "eyes" he had seen, he decided that the better part of valor was the discretion of remaining indoors! He spent the night with his gun at his side. In the morning, the dog was still missing and it was only two days later that Partridge read the report about the two couples sighting Mothman at the dynamite factory. One of the details in that account was that one of the witnesses said that, as they entered the city limits of Point Pleasant they had seen the body of a large dog by the side of the road and, a few minutes later, as they were leaving, the dog was gone. Mr. Partridge immediately connected this dead dog to his missing animal who was, in fact, never seen again! Another strange anomaly was that when the Sheriff's deputy who investigated the report by the two couples went out to the dynamite plant, he experienced interference on his police radio. He said it was loud and sounded rather like a record or tape being played at high speed. It was so loud that he had to turn the radio off. From that time until November of 1967, numerous other sightings of "Mothman" were reported. One of them described Mothman as something that rose slowly from the ground, that it was a "big gray thing, bigger than a man," and that it had no head! It DID have the two large glowing red circles at the top of its torso. According to John Keel, at least a hundred people saw the creature and he gathered the reports to come up with a general description as follows: it stood between five and seven feet tall, was broader than a man, and walked in a clumsy and shuffling manner on humanlike legs. It made a squeaky sound and the eyes were set near the top of the shoulders. Its wings were bat like but did not flap when it flew. When it took off from the ground, it went "straight up, like a helicopter." The skin color was gray or brown, and two witnesses said that they heard a mechanical humming as it flew above them. After 1967, the sightings died away. Almost everyone who investigated this Mothman business agreed that it was NOT a hoax. Of course, one "expert" declared that it must have been a sand hill crane. Nevertheless, there were a great many multiple-witness sightings by individuals that the investigators and police considered to be very reliable. Curiously, there was a sighting of a similar creature by a woman in 1961 (again, in West Virginia), and the witness told John Keel "It was much larger than a man. A big gray figure. It stood in the middle of the road. Then a pair of wings unfolded from its back, and they practically filled the whole road. It almost looked like a small airplane. then it took off straight up ... disappearing out of sight in seconds." And there seems to have been a sighting in Kent, England in 1963. Four young people saw a "star" shoot across the night sky and disappear behind trees not far from them. They were scared and started to run but then stopped to observe a golden, oval-shaped light floating a few feet above a field about 80 yards from them. This then disappeared into a wooded area. Suddenly, the witnesses saw a dark shape shuffling toward them from across this field. It was black and human sized, headless and had wings like a bat! At this point, they panicked and ran away! A similar UFO was seen by others during the next few nights. On November 23, two men who had come to investigate found a "vast expanse of bracken that had been flattened." They also claimed to have seen three huge footprints, two feet long and nine inches wide, impressed deeply into the soil. Is a "flying humanoid creature" something that has only occurred since the "UFO craze" that started in 1947 with Kenneth Arnold's "flying saucers?" Nope. Seems that flying beings of "human appearance" do appear from time to time. A "winged human form" was seen over Brooklyn, New York, on September 18, 1877 and reported in the New York Sun. Interestingly, this is about the time of some of the "Spring-Heel Jack" reports in England. On September 12, 1880, there was a report of a "Man with bat's wings and improved frog's legs... at least a thousand feet in the air... flying toward the New Jersey coast... [with] a cruel and determined expression." Now, I don't know how a judgment about the expression could be made, but maybe it just meant that it was "frightening" to the witness and this was their subjective interpretation of that fright. V.K. Arsenyev, a Russian writer, reported the following about an incident that occurred on July 11, 1908 in the Sikhote Mountains near Vladivostok:
Arsenyev then threw a stone "towards the unknown animal... something happened that was quite unexpected." He "heard the beating of wings. Something large and dark emerged from the fog and flew over the river. A moment later it disappeared in the dense mist." Arsenyev later told some of the locals about his experience and they shared with him a story about a "man who could fly in the air. Hunters often saw his tracks, tracks that appeared suddenly and vanished suddenly in a way that could only result if the 'man' alighted on the ground, then took off again into the air." In 1952 at Camp Okubo, Kyoto, Japan, U.S. Air Force Private Sinclair Taylor, on guard duty, said he heard a loud flapping noise. When he looked up he saw a huge "bird" in the moonlight. When it approached him, he became frightened and put a round of ammunition into his gun. The "bird" had stopped its flight and was hovering close by, staring at Private Taylor. He said:
When the sergeant of the guard came to investigate the gunshots and heard the story, he told Taylor that he believed him - because a year earlier another guard had seen the same thing! In August, 1969, Vietnam, near Da Nang, soldier Earl Morrison with the First Marine Division and two other guards were sitting on top of a bunker talking when they noticed something approaching them in the sky. Morrison said:
The soldiers watched the creature move about in the sky. At one point she was right above their heads, just six or seven feet up. She moved silently, without flapping her wings. Morrison said that she blocked the moon once, but despite the increased darkness, they could still see her because she glowed brightly. It was only when the creature started to fly away that the men heard a flapping sound. Morrison thought that the covering on her skin was more like fur than feathers. He said "The skin on her wings looked like it was molded onto her hands." He also remarked that the movement of her arms suggested that they had no bones in them! I have only selected the above reports to include here because they represent the things that we asked the Cassiopaeans about specifically. There are so many others, so many different types of creatures seen or encountered in various ways through the years, that you just have to sit back and regard our world in total awe! Yes, such things can be frightening - especially to those who are not open to the anomalous nature of our reality - but with the proper perspective, it can be seen that, indeed, the world IS full of such a number of things... But, moving on to the session in which we asked about these things, (and I am not going to describe the Chupacabras sightings as there are many pages on the web where one can read lengthy, detailed reports that are up-to-date) let's see what the Cassiopaeans have to say about such mysteries.
In
terms of the mentioned "EM wave bursts along frequency border variation,"
we might want to remember what the Cassiopaeans said about "Time
Travel."
This would certainly explain the "electronic anomalies" experienced by Mr. Partridge and the Sheriff's deputy in the Mothman case. Unfortunately, in the other cases, no one had the technology to determine if such electronic glitches were occurring with the appearances of the "monsters." But, in future cases or investigations, it would be an interesting question to add to the list. Opening of doors between dimensions is apparently a very tricky business. John Keel, one of the most widely read, influential, and controversial writers on mysterious happenings, was strongly influenced by the works of Charles Fort. Though he has written extensively on the subject of UFOs and related phenomena, Keel's ideas about them are more along the line of "occultism" than a strict, nuts and bolts explanation. He uses the term "Ultraterrestrials" to describe "aliens," and this is truly more in line with what the Cassiopaeans say than most other explications. According to John Keel, humanity's long history of interactions with such anomalies proves the existence of the "gods" of old. To Keel, Men In Black, monsters, UFOs, and even Mothman, are merely the modern versions of the "devils and demons" of past times. And, he may not be too far from the truth. The only thing I would add to that idea is that we need to get over the "supernatural" connotation that goes along with the terms "devils and demons." The following dialogue will make this more clear:
But
we want to understand this type of phenomena better, and there were many
instances in which we queried the Cassiopaeans about the differences between
densities and dimensions and how the two might relate, as well as how
other dimensions might interact with our own.
Well, the remark: "you have to change your assumptions in order to experience the wave in a positive way," does not bode well for those who are close-minded to anomalies, for sure! But, let's go back to the idea of these "EM bursts" being the means by which "doorways" are opened between dimensions. It seems that this can occur naturally, and often does. The following segment, though not specific to "anomalies" as we are discussing them, brings up this point. It also may suggest why anomalies are seen or experienced along with geomagnetic disturbances and even "cataclysmic" activity not to forget electronic "glitches." (Remember, of course, I live in Florida and roaches are just simply a part of life. I don't normally have them in my house, but began to notice some years ago that just prior to unusual geological or weather related phenomena, they would begin to come into the house under the doors, and via any other means. As soon as they were inside, my "secret formula" barrier spray insured their almost instant demise, so we would notice them all over the house on their backs, with their legs wiggling weakly in the air.)
Now, the remark that it was "Natural EM," but not "Normal," should give us pause. Then it was stated that it was "seismic," but the origin of the seismic activity was not specified. This possibly suggests a "disturbance" in the natural EM field due to, perhaps, something akin to the above described "EM wave bursts along frequency border variation," i.e. "Time Travel." Going back to the idea that Time Travel is effected in a way that is similar to transiting between dimensions, as well as the factor that "UFOs" are often sighted in connection with "monsters" or the above described "trans-dimensional window fallers," we might wonder about some of the activity going on here on earth and how these phenomena might be a clue to a "change" in the reality. In other words, if the dimensional or density curtains are "opened" for one reason, does that mean that there is the possibility for these "window fallers" to be activated as a side effect of such activity? And, if that is the case, can we look for such anomalies as clues that something else is going on in that time and place? The following extract contains a few clues to this idea:
Well, we are beginning to get some idea of these ramifications! But, we are trying to get some kind of handle on these "trans-dimensional beings" that come in and out of our reality. Just how REAL are they? The following segment talks about this in a more practical way. We had been to another MUFON meeting where a Vedic astrologer lectured about the ancient Indian and Vedic literature talked about UFOs and aliens. It was his opinion that they were merely a representation of the "activation" of the Kundalini experience for the whole planet, and were, therefore, just symbols with no particular reality of their own. In other words, human activities directed toward "raising consciousness" were causing UFOs and aliens to manifest more or less as "figments of our imagination." In specific, he was saying that the "Lizard Beings" represented this Serpentine energy of ascending knowledge and consciousness. The direct question about this issue is further along in the extract, because I have included most of the session because of its relation to the subject at hand:
I asked a sort of related question at one point which gives a curious insight into the many reports of the stench of "sulphur" related to "Evil" manifestations of "demons and witches" of the past.
And that, of course, goes back to the idea that they must use something from our human, 3rd density bodies in order to "stabilize" their physicality for visits to 3rd density, or even just for interactions with 3rd density reality in general. One question that arises is: are there any limits to these "dimensions?" We have already been told that densities are Seven in number, and this relates in a powerful way to many ancient teachings. In his most interesting explication of this subject, The Ancient Wisdom, Geoffrey Ashe writes that his researches have indicated that the
Ashe tracks the number seven all over the planet, and his conclusions, considering the many clues the Cassiopaeans have given in regard to the matter, are very important. The Cassiopaean statement that there are Seven levels of density, and ONLY seven, is supported by a great body of ancient wisdom and, in fact, it may be one of the very keys to the Ancient Technology. On the subject of the Seven Levels of Density, the following exchange occurred:
Sorry for going off on a tangent there, but it sort of "fit" the subject and we now have it out of the way. But, getting back to our question about whether or not there are any limitations to the numbers of lateral dimensions, we have the following extract from the Cassiopaean text:
No limits of possibilities. So, we begin to get the idea that this "universe" in which we live is, indeed, a STRANGE and MARVELOUS place - far beyond our limited, 3rd density conceptualizations. And further, we begin to get the idea that our reality is definitely being manipulated by higher density forces and that the appearances of "Monsters" and "Anomalies" may be clues to the times and places where these manipulations have taken place, loosely speaking! We will be getting into some more of the "mechanics" of these things as we go along, but we will end this section with a quote from the introduction of Strange and Unexplained Phenomena, [linked above] a compilation by Jerome Clark and Nancy Pear, which is a nice compendium of a LOT of weird things:
I don't know about you, but the idea of an unlimited and endlessly morphing reality, with any and all imaginable things and beings possible, is really exciting! Yes, we have the issue of dealing with those who want to abridge Free Will, control and/or feed on us, but even that can be viewed as a challenge and an adventure!
