HYPERSPACE in Your Everyday Life

Your Everyday Life

WHERE IS HYPERSPACE?

------ and ------

HOW DO WE GET THERE FROM HERE?

-----------------------------

THE Ancients imagined a timeless space beyond human

comprehension that they called Heaven, Hades, Valhalla, Gehenna,

Limbo, Elysian Fields, Happy Hunting Grounds, each in his own

----- -------------- ---------------------

language. The mysterious supernal and infernal regions were

populated with gods and goddesses, devils and demons, angels and

fairies, ghosts and goblins, chimerae of every conception. On an

Olympian stage, the immortal spirits acted out the universal

human drama in myths teaching the meanings of life and death,

good and evil, morality and nemesis, until the advent of modern

science brought discredit to intangible realities.

Man does not live without myth. As the traditional morality

plays lose their power to rule men's minds, lively new myths are

composed to replace the dead. If the modern priests of science

refuse to address the problems of the human soul, the modern

poets of science-fiction will use the ken and cant of science to

answer spiritual needs for intangible ideals. Mentor and Merlin

are reincarnated as Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda; as the last of the

Jedi Knights of a Round Table on some planetary Camelot, Luke

Skywalker draws a laser Excalibur from the Stone to wield The

Force on a cosmic odyssey. After running for centuries at

Olympus, followed by a century of full houses at Dodge City, the

spiritual epics are now playing in hyperspace.

----------

Hyperspace is known to science only as a calculation of

pure, abstract mathematics. Physicists are unaware that they

are actually charting the tangible landmarks of hyperspace while

they plot the PSI factors defining the virtual state of the

------------------------

quantum field. Like Moliere's BOURGEOIS GENTILHOMME, everyone

-------------

lives in The Twilight Zone without knowing it. After reading

-----------------

this book, you will be able to recognize the landscape of

hyperspace in your everyday life. The immortal spirits are very

real entities, and God is alive and well on the street where you

live.

THIS thesis has grown over twenty-five years since I noticed

that the ceremonial KATAS of the ZEN martial arts express the

very same energy equations that physicists write in mathematical

notation. (SIDE-1) Once I discovered this key, I realized that

all forms of art are mathematical equations expressing

transformations of energy more subtle than brute strength. Works

of art are a special kind of physical machinery that projects

higher-dimensional structures into lower-dimensional spaces for

some convenience of perceiving. You can see the way art performs

this function by applying the rules of optical perspective to

represent a three-dimensional structure on a plane surface.

The most familiar kind of pictorial perspective presents the

appearance of its subject from but a single viewpoint. In order

to comprehend a solid structure in its entirety, it is necessary

to render it from as many aspects as are required to reveal all

of its structural details in their correct relationships to each

other; many tridimensional perspectives must be studied in order

to construct a conception of a hyperspacial entity.

The art of mathematics presents alternative aspects in the

form of tautological equations, each expressing the view from a

different frame of reference, such as a=lw, l=a/w, and w=a/l to

describe the two-dimensional structure of a square by one-

dimensional semantics. All the codices of mathematical equations

express different views of the single hyperspacial entity known

as the universe; our comprehension of the universal structure

--------

is far from complete.

Artists have a vocation to express their perceptions of

hyperspacial realities from every point of view that man can

reach, at every different time that man can live in, to provide

us with handles on universal truths. All the myths and all the

religions present us with different pictures of the same

hyperspacial entity, and that entity is ourselves.

Most lovers of literature know that "Gulliver's

Travels is a satire on the politics of Jonathan

Swift's time and place but did you realize that

"Alice In Wonderland" and "Through The Looking

Glass" are cryptic explorations of hyperspace?

Alice's adventures are a comic dramatization of the

very same protean confusions, instabilities,

fantasies, whimsies, cruelties, and self-

contradictions of the virtual state of the quantum

field that you are about to tour by way of a more

mathematical direction.

Lewis Carroll is the pen name of the Reverend

Charles Dodgson, a mathematician more competent

than he dared to reveal to his contemporaries, so

he became better known under his real name for

making sensitive photographs of pretty little girls

all bare naked with no clothes on.

YOU are able to perceive voluminous space only because your

mind fuses the two different perspectives received by your two

eyes. *1

From one point of view, your inner eye sees merely plane

images. In order to perceive solid structures in voluminous

space, you must move around the subject under observation and

fuse an indefinite number of aspects from all sides. A cone,

for illustration, is seen as a circle in plan view, a triangle in

elevation, and various angles subtended by various arcs in all

other views. The solid structure of a cone is conceived only

after fusing all images in the mind. If your mind were not able

to construct this gestalt, you would be unable to recognize the

-------

triangular aspect of the cone as having the same identity as the

circular aspect. (SIDE-1)

The ability to fuse an indefinite number of plane images

into a solid image in the mind is usually achieved during

childhood as we master language, so no one is aware of common

aberrations. As an example, few people saw the view from the top

until everyone travelled by air. Without flight experience, you

don't learn to fuse plan views of the landscape with the familiar

elevations; therefore, aerial photographs remain unintelligible

to most people. You would be surprised by the number of people

who cannot read blueprints because of their inability to fuse all

sectional drawings into a dynamic tridimensional gestalt. Cubism

is four-dimensional perspective; the art of Cubism makes no sense

to people who cannot analyze plural perspectives and recombine

them mentally to form a hyperspacial image of the pictorial

subject.

Since George Eastman provided everyone with a camera, we find

that most snapshots, like driver's IDs, can't be recognized by the

subject's mother. How is it possible for the camera (that cannot

lie) to produce unrecognizable portraits? From the infinite number

of views you see of your nearest and dearest, only a certain number

are selected for fusion into the mental image of the person you

identify. The zillions of other views are occulted from the visual

consciousness because they are insignificant or because the

differences are great enough to produce the painful condition of

cognitive dissonance that prevents fusion of disparate ideas.

--------------------

Cognitive dissonance is produced by harmonic discord among

the vibrations defining ideas, images, and sounds. All

differences produce cognitive dissonance until discordant phases

are cancelled and the remaining vibrations are resolved into a

harmonically integrated gestalt in a higher dimension, like a

musical chord. Wave cancellation is the physical basis of the

concept of psychological repression established by Freud; these

wave mechanics also produce KARMA. (*2)

Interference between (mental) waves transforms them into

other frequencies so that objects are not perceived as they

really are, if they are not rendered altogether invisible as a

consequence of cognitive dissonance. Therefore, each person sees

and hears truly only those signals that are congruent with the

conceptual patterns already defining one's own mental structure;

all other perceptions are distorted and repressed, occulted

behind the Veils of Maja. (SIDE-2) At the bottom line,

intereference produces a pair of predominant patterns separated

by 180o of phase. As a result, reality is perceived to be

polarized between good and evil, black and white, strong and

weak, male and female, etc.

Just as only one side of a solid structure can be seen at a

time, without a mirror, only one phase of a hyperspacial

structure can be perceived directly at one time. It is natural,

therefore, to assign a unique identity to different phases that

exceed the observer's capacity for resolution into a single

gestalt. Virtue is not recognized as the front of vice, no light

is seen in darkness, and you have to know your TAO to find

strength in compliance. Union of complementary opposites

transforms them both into a structure of higher dimension. The

degree to which you can resolve polar opposites establishes the

dimensional scope of your Consciousness. An understanding of

hyperspace enables you to answer problems that defy all

philosophers limited to three-dimensional concepts; given

sufficient scope, you will even understand the opposite sex. (*3)

SIDE-1

Assigning different identities to

different aspects of the same structure is

most commonly experienced in interpersonal

relationships. During the initial rush of

love, all perceptions that trouble the purity

of the relationship is repressed. Admonitions

from friends and family to watch where you are

giving your heart are ignored as utterly

irrelevant to the paragon identified with all

the virtues of true love, and none of the

vices. When dissonant aspects of the loved one

appear from behind the Veils of Maja, they are

perceived to belong to another person, a

stranger in your home and a devil in your bed.

Unable to conceive that pleasure and pain

can come from the same parent, infants

perceive a good true-parent and a wicked step-

parent. Most people still cannot identify God

with the devil, nor can they perceive that

Heaven and hell are complementary aspects of

one real world.

=============================================

SIDE-2

The Latin mind has no imprinted concept

of the English SCHWA sound. Without the mental

concept, the Latin ear cannot distinguish

between his and hees. The sound of big

--- ---- ---

activates the concept of beeg, and beeg is

---- ----

what the Latin mind hears. Likewise, the

Japanese mind has no imprint for the ell

---

sound; in the Japanese mind, the elle sound is

----

heard as arr.

---

Male and female mentalities are

imprinted with different concepts making it

physically impossible for the opposite sex to

receive the same message thatis sent.

Communication between sexes is like

communication between different species. No

matter how many times arguments are settled,

the very next argument is the very same

argument. Acquiescence is not agreement, but

resignation and tolerance of the

incomprehensible.

---------------------------------------------------------------

*1 If your mind is unable to fuse plural images, the brain

is confused, and all images but one are erased from your visual

Consciousness. The eye transmitting the voided image loses its

functional capacity. It may be speculated that other sense

organs also lose their function when their information is voided.

---------------------------------------------------------------

*2 If Freud studied physics before medicine, he wouldn't

have invented a square wheel in his theory of sexual

determinism. Psychology and psychiatry would be radically

different if a grounding in elementary physics were prerequisite.

These professions will soon be demolished and reconstructed by

the hard science of artificial intelligence.

The soft sciences are not soft by their very nature, but

because soft ideas attract people incapable of comprehending

hard, mathematical concepts, and once soft-heads populate a

profession, hard-heads move out of the neighbourhood. As a

consequence, the soft sciences degenerate into nonsense until

they become too impractical to hold their customers. If astrology

were not so soft-headed, actuaries would be calculating horoscopes

instead of statistics.

The essential difference between the hard-head and the soft-

head is concentration of mental focus. Whereas the hard-head

defines particulars, the soft-head senses the overview. Both

heads are half-wits if they cannot vary the scope of their focus

to integrate particulars with wholes to comprehend both at once

in a higher dimension of Consciousness.

---------------------------------------------------------------

OOOOOOOOOOOOO\ The confusion prodiced by the

O\ O \ Necker cube is due to seeing the

O \OOOOOOOOOOOOO inside and the outside of a box

O O O O at the same time. When seen as a

O O O O plane image, a transparent cube

O O O O presents a different structure

OOOOOOOOOOOOO O from every point of view, and

\ O \ O except when seen in a plan or

\OOOOOOOOOOOOO elevation, no aspect resembles

the shape of an opaque box.

This is an object lesson in the difference between the structure

of an entity in hyperspace and the form it presents in a lower

dimensional space.

Since God is an Entity of utmost dimensional extent,

no man can look at a complete image of It in this lifetime ---

and that is the reason for the religious prohibition against

graven images. In order to preclude any manifestation of The God

That Is All That Is from being worshipped as the One Big I, The

First Commandment is engraved, "Thou shalt not hold any god

before Me." Anything less than God is the very devil, and the

devil grows more diabolical as it grows more Godly; the devil is

the Brightest Angel of them all.

The worship of anything less than God, no matter how Godly,

is Satanism; the good people of this world are far more

dangerous than the bad. You see, the only difference between bad

people and good people is that bad people say that all wars are

good, whereas good people say that some wars are good; both

sides agree that no war is bad unless it is lost. As the child

prays, "Dear God, please make all the bad people good and the

good people nice."

THE mind is able to fuse two visual images only when

there is practically no difference between them. Fusion of visual

images into a stereo gestalt becomes impossible if the two

perspectives differ by more than the interocular distance. In

other words, there is a limit to the amount of difference that

can be resolved without producing an identity crisis. (SIDE-1)

To illustrate, if your views of a cone were limited to the

extremes of plan and elevation, only extraordinary conditions and

mathematical calculation would enable you to realize that the two

mutually incommensurable figures were aspects of the same

identity in a higher dimension of space. Ordinarily, you are able

to relate one extreme view to the other extreme by innumerable

other viewing angles revealing the gradual transformation of the

circle into the triangle. Even after identifying the circle as

an allotropic aspect of the triangle, you would still be unable

to form the concept of a solid cone unless your mental space

were large enough to comprehend three dimensions; you would

believe that the conical structure alternates between a

circle and a triangle according to the viewing angle; it would

be the wave-particle paradox all over again.

On the atomic scale, hyperspacial rotations occur at such

speed that transition phases between extreme views cannot be

resolved within the temporal precision of the experiment. The

wave-particle dichotomy is refractory to scientific

comprehension not only because an electron flips between its two

phases faster than the instruments can follow, but also because

both wave packets and particles are three-dimensional concepts.

Mentally unable to comprehend ultratridimensional entities,

physicists identify different projections of one subatomic

particle as several new discoveries, and that is why there is no

end to the number of elementary particles.

At least four dimensions of space are required to fuse

several three-dimensional structures into a single identity in

the same place at the same time. The most highly respected

scientific authorities aver that it is impossible for any human

intellect to visualize space extending in more than three

dimensions. Nevertheless, your mind reveals the mathematical

parameters of four-dimensional hyperspace every time you fuse

more than one three-dimensional image into a gestalt. Look at

that, would you; like the atom, the inner space of your mind is

-------------------------------

hyper! Hyperspace is as familiar to you as your own mental

-----

concepts. How 'bout that, Dr. Einstein?

The science of physics is actually the physics of

perception. Your mind is a house of many mansions. Most people

never see the doors in the walls of their nurseries; they spend

their entire spiritual lives confined in the crib where they

were born, while they can only wonder about the sounds of family

activity that transpire dimly into their windowless

compartments. In these pages, you will read the construction

plans of your spiritual palace. Once you realize that the

barriers limiting your experience are merely partitions, you

will open the doors of your mind to explore the manifold halls

of self-knowledge. You may even leave your father's house to

make your way as a grown person in the big hyperworld outside.

Of course, it is dangerous out there, and not all who venture

return sound and successful, but that is what real life is all

about when play school is left behind. The physics of

consciousness is what this book is all about.

The limits of identity provide a

universally practical principle for getting

what you want out of life -- especially if you

have to get what you want out of other people.

To wit, it is impossible to change anyone's

mind except by nicely graduated argument that

slowly turns the other's point of view to your

direction; if you argue too strongly, you only

provoke rage, denial, and repression of

everything you say. The TAO teaches that the

battle does not go to the strong, nor the race

to the swift, but to the gentle and the

patient; this is the true meaning of Jesus'

promise that the meek will inherit the Earth.

Beggars, flatterers, and cheaters take more

than workers, racers, and robbers.

FUSING disparate images depends upon the development of a

faculty for ignoring differences. The mind learns to ignore

differences by subsuming them to a common feature, such as

association of time, place, utility, or physical property. The

subsumption of ideas into abstract classifications is produced

by wave interference; and so, particular, individual differences

are repressed to the Unconscious as the mind grows from

perceptions limited to tangible sense data to comprehend

abstract concepts. (SIDE-1)

Plato wrote the original hyperspacial theory explaining

that each of the material bodies in this world is a

manifestation of an Ideal Form in Heaven. In modern mathematical

terms, Plato can be paraphrased to say that each individual

structure is a unique cross- section (or projection) of an

entity existing in a space of more than three dimensions,

intersecting with our tridimensional world. Plato conceived his

concept of Universal Form by the mental process of verbal

abstraction, and then with true philosophic backasswardness he

declared that the particular is derived from the abstract,

instead of the other way 'round; nevertheless, Plato is right.

Since Plato explained that all individual differences are

unique aspects of the ideal, and since wave interference is

proven to be the physical mechanism that subsumes differences

within the gestalt, the technical means for revealing a tangible

manifestation of the Ideal Form is self-evident. By

superimposing an indefinitely large number of individual images

of the same class of tangible manifestations, the individual

-----

wave-forms arrange themselves according to the principle of the

Conservation of Energy into a single, harmonically integrated

structure. Photographers will recognize this process as the way

to make a hologram. A hologram, therefore, is a tangible

--------

hyperspacial structure. How 'bout that, Dr. Gamow?

A hologram looks like nothing so much as a compounded

vortex. A compound vortex is what a hyperspacial entity looks

like when it becomes manifest in its entirety as a tridimensional

form. When Cecil B. DeMille represented the God of Moses as a

vortex of light, he was revealing his Unconscious knowledge of

the platonic Ideal. (SIDE-2)

Children notice microscopic differences;

they inspect details minutely, and object to

the slightest change in their environment ---

especially food. Children lose their

preternatural discrimination of tangible

reality as they learn to speak, and everyone

spends the rest of his life trying to find the

original reality of the child, by way of

sensory excitement, philosophizing, religious

disciplines, and chemical keys to the Kingdom.

Childish minds that grow big without

growing up make a profession of details

without being able to realize their meaning in

a universal gestalt; they are favoured to

become scholars and authorities. Swelled heads

are illustrated by the learned philosophers

who argued about Adam's navel while remaining

incapable of questioning Adam's rib. But

however narrow their perspective, scholars

are broadminded enough to realize that it does

not profiteth a man in this life to gain the

whole world in one vision.

The joys of youth, and its bellicosity,

are the intense excitement produced by the

perception of differences. Conversely, most

of the normal depression which grows with age

is the result of losing discrimination so

that nothing new is perceived under the Sun.

The conventional wisdom believes that the

senses atrophy along with the thymus gland,

the gonads, and the digestive organs, to

produce ennui from lack of excitement.

Actually, the sense organs atrophy as

interest in differences is lost because of

terminal classificationosis. Your tour of duty

on this planet is done when you no longer find

any difference between one day and the next,

one season and the next, one person and

another, one sex and the other. VIVE LES

DIFFERENCES!

=========================================

SIDE-2

Christ is the God of Man, variously

called The Son of God and The Son of Man. The

epithets of Christ mean that He is the

platonic Ideal of the human species, and each

of us is a unique manifestation of this

Universal Ideal Human Being.

A special kind of holographic portrait

of the Christ can be produced by superimposing

an indefinite number of life-size photographs

of people. This technical photography has

actually been done. In this process, the

superimposed waves do not produce a vortex;

instead, the wave interference pattern is

manifest like the superimposition of musical

notes to produce a predominant key tone. The

image resulting from this extraordinary

holographic process reveals an ineffably

beautiful human body of exquisitely perfect

proportions. Christ is quite simply the One

Perfect Human Being from Whom all mortals are

imperfectly projected.

Individuals possessing features

approximating the human average manifest some

of Christ's Divine Beauty, and that is why all

us mortals who deviate from the average are

moved to adore these paragons of pulchritude.

Unhappily, the instinct to deify the norm has

the necessary consequence of abhorring

deviation as the very devil.

The great truth revealed by this

photographic demonstration is not that good

looks are as good as God; the image of the

Perfect Human Being is composed of every one

of the ugliest and most deviant among us, as

well as the most beautiful freaks. Beauty

without ugliness is less than the whole

platonic Human Being, and anything less than

perfect is diabolical to the degree that

wholeness is lacking.

The youthful, female form divine tends

toward the average human proportions; the

elderly, male form is the ugly deviant.

Mortals who have seen the Christ Spirit

testify that His counten-nance is like an

unmarked youth with compassion that is learned

only through eons of suffering; His ugliness

radiates beauty.

The closer a nearly holy creature

approaches perfection, the greateris its power

for evil, and that is why Satan is the

Brightest Angel of them all, second only to

the Creator, Itself; the buck private's

mistakes will kill him, but the general's

mistakes kill everyone. Before damning the

practically good, execrating the almost true,

and abominating the compellingly beautiful as

Temptation, always remember and bear in mind

that Money is not Evil; it is the worship

-------

of Money that possesses one's soul. We are

given beauty to enjoy while it lasts; the

mortal sin is worshipping beauty --- or any

other god that does not incorporate its

proper devil.

WORDS are ultraspacial structures created by abstracting

common features of significance while ignoring unique features.

Words amplify similarities and eliminate differences by wave

interference. Words are the product of fusing all the unique

images of several structures into an ultraspacial gestalt.

The gestalt represented by its abstract noun is not visible

to the material eye because it is a ultratridimensional physical

structure that is manifest to our Consciousness only as a form

of what we conceive to be mental energy, more rarified than

electromagnetic substance. A word is an image of an ultraspatial

mental Form; words are the very Ideas that Plato talked about.

The tridimensional material eye can see only a unique,

material example of the gestalt at any one time. In other words,

a gestalt exists as an extension of its material manifestations

in the form of a trajectory through time and space; to wit, a

---------- ----

mental concept extends through no fewer than four dimensions.

(SIDE-1) The minds comprehends the dimensions of time; this is

why intelligence is identified with the sense of time. Abstract

verbal concepts are understood only as they can be comprehended

within the temporal dimensions of one's mind; a mind is perceived

to grow to the extent that it perceives precedents and

consequences. Athena is merely the god of intellect; the ruler of

consciousness is Kronus, the Overlord of Time and Change.

The nemesis of abstraction, as Korzybski pointed out, is

that the symbol becomes the reality, and the individual

differences in the real world are occulted behind the Veils of

Maja. As the focus of the mind shifts from the immediately

tangible world to verbal concepts, the mind becomes separated

from the body and both lose their health. Paradise is a myth

about a preverbal Consciousness, before men created words and

subsequently mistook the symbol (idol) for reality (God); the

Fall of Man and his Expulsion is the consequence of worshipping

verbally fashioned images. Philosophers pretend to lead us back

to reality on ways paved with more words of higher abstraction,

like devils promising to lead us to Heaven. If the devil is the

Father of Lies, words are surely the Mother.

Conscious mind is a creation of words. Therefore, no one in

his socially defined, right-thinking, right-handed mind can

perceive anything not previously defined by words. Experiments

have found that people lacking the words to describe subtle

colours are also unable to distinguish fine differences in hues,

but as soon as they are given the words to define the

differences between crimson, scarlet, and vermillion, for

example, they no longer see all reds as red. Poets expand the

common Consciousness by giving new meanings to old words and by

coining new words.

Words referring to abstract concepts are projections of

spiritual structures from hyperspace into our mental space.

We are unable to know the higher dimensions of the hyperspacial

universe we live in because our culture lacks the verbal

concepts for our minds to perceive what our eyes plainly see.

Although there is no way that you can learn to swim without

getting wet, reading is the most efficient way for you to

acquire the vocabulary of hyperspace that you need for your eyes

----------

to open on the New Heaven and New Earth of hyperspace.

Hyperspacial vocabulary is what this book is all about.

Scientific knowledge is nothing but verbal knowledge, and

knowledge is the key to power; humanity is ruled by words. The

physical and mathematical principles that explain the material

world of three dimensions also control the manifestations of

hyperspacial energies; e.g., e=mc^2 opens the way to the high-

dimensional energies of the atom. Furthermore, the very forms in

which higher-dimensional energies are represented serve as a

handle for wielding the power. This is what magic, idols,

charms, amulets, spells, incantations, hexes, and prayers are

all about. (*1)

Artists, scientists, and mystics who glimpse spirits dimly

through the Veils of Maja limn a projection of the eternal

entities into the human dimensions of literature, theatre,

music, dance, architecture, engineering, philosophy,

mathematics, justice, politics, morality --- in a word, culture.

-------

Like pictorial art, all cultural artifacts compress hyperspacial

structures into fewer dimensions so that ideas are represented

in more or less tangible forms. The form is the specialized

language of its poet and the meaning of the form is the essence

of the myth.

The difference between science and religion is the

difference between the quantified equations of mathematics and

the unquantified equations of metaphore. Those who cannot focus

their mental scope with sufficient precision to count must

guesstimate relationships by comparing superficial attributes to

derive meanings from their experiences. The errors of both

science and religion are produced by logical deductions made

from inherently faulty language, but the errors cannot be

perceived by people who mistake their words for real things and

their language for a real map. Philosophic disputes are word

wars; those who live by their words also die by their words.

The highest energies are manifest in the power of pure

thought, which mortals call God. Words are the coins of thought,

like money is minted power. It is the extraspacial power of the

human God expressed through the words of men that vouchsafes our

articulate species dominion over all the dumb beasts of the

field, and word power is the very Divine soul deficient in all

other planetary life. The extraspacial power of God expressed

through the word is attested in John 1:1, IN THE BEGINNING WAS

THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.

Parsing the language of hyperspace reveals the very diction,

syntax, and grammar of Creation, Itself.

AS modern physics becomes mystical, "the ZEN of science" has

become a parlour cliche among the scientifically literate. ZEN

Masters penetrate the Veils of Maja cast by verbal logic to

apprehend reality by direct experience. (SIDE-1) Since they

eschew words, ZEN Masters write no books and preach no sermons.

ZEN disparages texts because no mathematical terminology existed

in its high and far-off times when the YOGAs were developed

empirically. (*2) Nevertheless the Masters knew a mathematical

language, and they used it to express their knowledge of

hyperspace. They composed their KATAs as mathematical equations

in the languages of art, music, chanting, dancing, theatre,

graphics, and architecture. The arts inspired with ZEN are

exquisitely measured. The Hyperspace Trilogy is a Rosetta Stone

translating the language of the ZEN arts into the language of

modern science. This book could be called The Physics of TAO.

The sage says, "Seek and ye will find. Ask and it will be

answered unto you." Scientists are fond of saying that their

business is discovering the right questions to ask. If

scientists weren't so cocksure that they knew everything there

is to know about their business, any lawyer could tell them how

to discover the right questions. The correct question is the

---------------------------

question to which you already know the answer. If you don't have

---------------------------------------------

an immediate answer, you must know where to find it. No other

questions are of any use in the enterprise of deducing Nature's

secrets.

ZEN Masters are fond of answering disciples asking for

wisdom by a question called a KOAN. KOANs are believed to be

nonsense intended to confuse one's mind until a critical tension

precipitates a mystical insight. KOANs are not nonsense; they

are a special kind of question to which you already know the

answer, but you don't want to know you know because such

knowledge is self-knowledge; the most heinous crime of this

civilization is to be caught in possession of self-knowledge.

Self-knowledge, you see, is the special kind of knowledge that

releases a person from the KARMIC wheel of life and the rule of

Satan, however you conceive your devil. As soon as you answer

the KOAN, you are expelled from Plato's cave, and the game of

darkness is over. The Laughing Buddha in the heart of your

personal Lotus Blossum isn't ready to cash your chips because of

Enlightenment until damn good and ready. The mental crisis of

the KOAN is resolved by formulating a plausible answer that

satisfies the curiosity without actually taking the terminal

gaze into the brilliant Face of God. Psychoanalysts get

plausible answers from all their patients; the trouble with

psychoanalysis is that the entire science is nothing but a

plausible answer to estop its advertised purpose of self-

discovery.

All those posing unanswerable questions, or declaring that

their questions can't be answered are not in the business of

creating science, nor do they have any intention of informing

the public; their real purpose is obscuring knowledge and

confusing you in order that they may gain and hold their

advantage over you. Rhetorical questions take many forms, and

none are so beguiling as the scientific poser. Rhetoric

manipulates automatic psychological reflexes so as to make the

audience believe that the authority who cannot answer his own

questions knows something that his audience doesn't know. The

only thing he knows that you don't know is how to get well paid

for knowing nothing you don't know --- and telling you to your

face.

SIDE-1

ZEN defies comprehension by Europeans

for reasons similar to the incomprehensibility

of mathematics by broadly focussed minds. It

is simply impossible to describe the

essentially hard-headed precision of ZEN

practise by soft-headed language, and it is

just the softest of American heads that are

attracted to ZEN as an escape from

responsibility, rather than for love of

order. Like a symphony and a cathedral, ZEN

is pure mathematics with out words. ZEN is

the essence of art. (*1)

---------------------------------------------------------------

*1 I used to tease waitresses by ordering two fried

eggs, the first egg fried on one side and the second fried on the

other. Eventually I met a serving maid who gave me exactly what I

asked for. She sure shut my mouth. I wonder what she is doing,

now?

I've never met a ZEN freak who used KOANs to blow his mind.

They were all playing one upmanship on me, in the curious belief

that posing an unanswerable question made them superior. They

invested all their faith in the conviction that the KOAN can't be

answered logically, so they have something greater than reason

going for them. Children delight in playing with words to create

statements that are self-contradictory and impossible to realize;

it is a childish mind that believes unanswerable questions are

more significant than answers. When the KOAN is answered, like

drawing the Sword from the Stone, they not only lose their game,

but they also lose their faith. It satisfies their competitive

humility to proclaim they are stupid, but no one can be smarter

than their GURU, so they are wiped out when their GURU's bluff is

called.

--------------------------------------------------------

*2 Every arcane study has devotees of vastly different degrees

of competence. Groupies preserve and preach all precepts

indiscriminately, because they don't know the difference between

genius and learned fools.

The moral is that everyone who believes he knows what's what

should write his solutions for world salvation. Sooner or later,

people will regard every recorded folly as inspired wisdom; it

could be yours.

YOU will find nothing of theoretical importance in this

book that you don't already know; all you will find in this book

is innumerable different views of what you already know and

believe in different contexts. Since the TAO of "phasics" turns

everything into its opposite, you will find that everything you

believe is self-contradictory; nevertheless, PLUS CA CHANGE and

all that. How much of this book you will understand and believe

depends entirely on your ability to maintain mental focus on the

structural points of the subject so that you can hold its

identity as I change the perspective. By the time you finish

this book, you will realize that the entire universe is your own

self, turned around every which way and inside out.

This is not a scholarly thesis; it is not the product of

laboratory experiments, abstruse calculations, nor of library

research. Everything you will read in this book is derived from

observation of everyday, ordinary life. I shall introduce

cardinal cases with commonplace observations or some commonplace

facts and see what comes by way of some commonplace logic. As

you follow my line of reason, you will see that your common

sense leads to insights that are ignored and denied by

authorized versions of truth. Now, what do you do? Do you deny

your own senses and let authorities tell you what your life is

all about, or do you decide for yourself the basis of your facts

and take responsibility for making up your own mind?

Professional authorities are convinced that the public is too

stupid and ignorant to understand science, health, religion, and

politics, not to mention teaching your children. The authorities

have always condemned the Socratic dialogue as a corruption of

youth. You won't think you are so stupid and ignorant by the

time you finish reading this book.

It is just because this thesis is based on common

experience that you can satisfy yourself of its truth. If you do

not agree with me after checking my observations and facts

against your own, tell me about it. You may be right; we may

both be right from our respective points of view and frames of

reference. If you find me mistaken, this book will have served a

worthwhile purpose as an object lesson illustrating the ways

that observations are susceptible to misperceptions, common

facts are liable to be mistaken, and common sense can lead to

common delusion. You need only look at the continual revisions

of established scientific facts to see that the most highly

qualified experts are just as subject to changing views as the

rest of us --- which is why they should not be believed with

less question than you are expected to direct at this book. (*1)

The best advice your medical doctor will ever give you is

"seek a second opinion"; the advice is just as wise when you

attend doctors of philosophy.

During earlier years of my life while my livelihood

depended on orthodox beliefs, I refused to give a thought to any

of the ideas I am able to entertain now that my employer doesn't

care what science I believe, as long as I don't bad mouth his

politics (I work for the government, now). So do not suppose

that I have no sympathy for the authorities; I have believed

their doctrine for the same reasons they maintain their faith. I

use satire only to reduce the awe of authority that stultifies

people under oppressive doctrines. As you know, no one hates

smokers more than a quitter --- who longs for a drag.

The critical word in the previous sentence is oppressive.

----------

As long as a doctrine is bigger than its believers, it opens

their minds to explore the vastness of its comprehension; no

believer is going to give up that space --- nor should anyone.

But when its believers outgrow their doctrine, it becomes

spiritually oppressive, and they seek a greater freedom. And so,

you see, no doctrine is inherently true or false; its truth

depends upon how well it fits the vital needs and the mental

stature of the people who believe it. Try this book on for size.

If it fits your head, give it a test run on your road of life;

if it cramps your style or rattles your chassis, you should have

learned by now that we have to kiss a lot of frogs before we

find our princes, and lick a lot of muddy feet before we find a

God that repays our belief with as much support as we give.

My comments on religions are not informed by scholarship

but merely reflect generally held conceptions that outsiders

entertain about creeds other than their own, like ethnic jokes

express one's perspective on foreigners. Outsiders perceive

meanings quite different from insiders. Confession, for example,

----------

has an entirely different meaning for Romans than for other

people; you have to be a Catholic to experience it. Which is the

true meaning? It depends on whether you are looking from the

inside or the outside, doesn't it? Nevertheless, ethnic jokes

express human identities, values, and follies more acutely than

anthropological studies --- especially the identity, the values,

and the follies of the teller. Some pious people may not be able

to tolerate the respect I have for any church but theirs, nor

can they tolerate any mention of their obvious follies. I ask

you --- is a sense of humour and appreciation of the ludicrous a

gift of the devil? No soul could abide in a Heaven without

humour if hell holds all the fun. If I failed to offend anyone,

let me know and the next edition will treat you the same as

everyone else.

If you find this book intolerable, it is mainly because you

have not been exposed to this kind of ideas before. You will be

surprised at how inoffensive they will be the next time you have

an encounter of this challenging kind. The initial denial,

ridicule, and scepticism of Flying Saucer sightings gradually

changed to belief for no reason other than the persistence of

the reports for forty years; it doesn't matter that most of the

reports are not true, and UFO hysteria was composed by the media

to supply popular demand. If you haven't come here from

Buckminster Fuller, see how his "Synergetics 1 & 2" grab you when

you go there from here.

Most people expect to understand a book on one reading; a

book baffling at first sight can't get a literary review. I

expect many readers to appreciate the insights into their

special interest and competence, but be lost through the pages

referring to other kinds of knowledge. You must realize,

however, that this book would have no reason for its existence

if it explained hyperspace from the mathematical view, alone ---

as all other books on this subject do. This is a synthesis of

many disciplines and philosophies; your mind must be capable of

fusing the concepts and languages of many arts, crafts, sports,

and sciences into a single gestalt in order to understand the

physical structure and manifestations of hyperspace in your

----

everyday life; this book is a holy scripture for the working

-------------

days of the week. Mathematics and metaphore, high philosophy and

vulgarity, are combined in the same paragraph, if not in the

same sentence, so that you may realize that all languages

express the very same truths. Thus, the believers of every faith

will find scientific substantiation of their religion in the

structure of hyperspace, and artists will find their common

identity with scientists in politics' strangest bed.

Mathematics, science, art, philosophy and religion cannot be

experienced in everyday life unless they are expressed as

everyday ideas in everyday language.

This book is as paradoxical as its subject. It is clear and

confused, profound and superficial, comic and tragic, ludicrous

and reverent, it has no single thread of reason but spreads a

tapestry, it is incoherent but an indivisible whole, it is fact

and fantasy --- with more truth in the fantasy than in the fact.

Writing it has been my KOAN; I composed it to be your KOAN.

There is at least one epiphany for every reader, but, like a

joke, you must be baffled to get it. This is a book for reading

many times between reflections on life because it yields

different meanings as you learn your living. Read it like a

Bible that can be understood only in parts, according to your

experience, intelligence, and wisdom --- and the number of

children you have raised --- especially the little darlings who

came with your second spouse.

Understanding hyperspace is nothing but the ability to

comprehend plural concepts, including polar opposites, within

the same gestalt. Not only have I written the text to reflect

the confusion of hyperspace, but I have also composed the format

to serve as your object lesson in comprehending multiple views

simultaneously. A magazine style should present no difficulty to

a generation brought up on split-screen movies, multi-media

light shows, and studying for academic exams while watching

television with a friendly friend of the opposite sex. After

reading the sidenotes to get the relevance, the logic is woven

by the continuous text. On the third run through, you may read

the footnotes without feeling interrupted.

Reading this book is somewhat like listening to a symphony;

on first hearing, it is noise. It is only after the structure

and the details have imprinted a gestalt in one's mind that

melodies and counterpoint can be heard as musical architecture.

The meaning of music is the gestalt; otherwise it is only notes;

the beautiful sensation of music is produced by experiencing the

energy of the gestalt amplified by harmonic resonance with each

note. Likewise, the meaning of this book is in its gestalt, a

synthesis of all its disparate parts in a higher dimension of

consciousness. Nevertheless, each page can also be fruitful

without further reference; this book offers something for

everyone at any time.

Once you are informed that lw=a, no further instruction is

required for you to realize that a/l=w and a/w=l; the three

equations express the very same structure. If you can only

memorize equations, however, they will always seem mutually

contradictory to you; lacking any intuitive understanding of why

lw=a, the only proof you have of its truth is that the wallpaper

fits the wall. As a consequence, Hitler was adequately trained

to cut wall paper, but his groupies are unable to calculate the

cost of deceptive packaging.

There is nothing in this book that is not self-evident from

elementary equations known to everyone before entering high

school. The only reason this book can be considered necessary

reading is to clear your mind of the rote thinking inculcated by

formal schooling. Formal education is determined to prohibit

everyone from relating facts into a whole body of knowledge that

inspires wisdom. Deprived of faculties for judgement, the public

is unable to understand what is really being done to them; thus,

everyone is forced to pay the professional establishment

exhorbitant fees for simple services everyone can do for himself

--- like filing divorce papers --- and rendered susceptible to

believing everything one is told, like perennial children.

Liberated women know exactly what I mean.

You don't learn about hyperspace so much as you grow into

----- ----

understanding as a consequence of mental/physical/spiritual

evolution, like you grow into walking, talking, and sexual

consciousness. Always remember and bear in mind that hyperspace

extends through more than three dimensions, so you must be able

to read construction plans easily before you can make sense of

this book. In short, hyperspace is not difficult to understand;

if its meaning does not develop like music after some

rumination, comprehension is simply impossible, so don't sweat it.

I________________________I

"TIME TRAVEL --- The Secret Science of The UFOs " is the

first volume of a trilogy. This First Book puts you on The Yellow

Brick Road by way by studying some simple models illustrating how

familiar space is converted into familiar time by increasingly

----- ----

fine division and increasingly accelerated velocity. Once you

arrive in The Emerald City of hyperspace, you will learn how

higher dimensions are defined by the familiar measurements of

energy; i.e., frequency, phase, and amplitude. You will see how

the familiar physical fields of force known as nuclear,

electromagnetic, gravitic, sonic, and even life and mental

forces, constitute a scale of successively rarified hyperspacial

worlds manifest to our senses as pure energy. Hyperspace is

nothing but energy, and the geometry of hyperspace is nothing but

a mathematical plotting of the laws governing transformations of

energy.

"TIME TRAVEL --- THe Secret Science of The UFOs"

presents a graphic solution to the Unified Field Equations that

has defied the entire scientific world for a century. Unlike

e=mc^2, which could not be implemented without an army of the

world's most creative engineers funded by national treasuries,

e=mc^3 is within the economic capacity of a home workshop,

enabling free-enterprising Yankee know-how to open a new era of

peace and prosperity like the palmy days of Edison, Ford, Tesla,

the Wright Brothers, Tim Leary and Hugh Hefner. To the degree

that the experiments of Henry Moray, Thomas Townsend-Brown,

Bruce de Palma, and Pat Flanagan are as successful as they

claim, the first lights are already shining into the New Age.

Professional engineers will develop this Unified Field Theory to

technical details beyond the scope of this book --- not to

mention the competence of this author. After giving a

ringful of keys to several adventurers who would be kings, the rest

of this book will speculate on the probable design and

engineering of the Flying Saucers. Once we have some practicable

idea of how the Saucers operate, the possibilities of who builds

--- ---

them, where they come from, and what they are doing here are

----- ----

reduced to a practical argument.

The Second Book of Hyperspace, titled "LIVING CRYSTAL ---

The Philosopher's Stone", explains the theorems of hypergeometry,

providing inventive explorers with a mathematical foundation to

create new engines, sciences, and arts. The discovery of the New

World of Hyperspace will transform our civilization more

radically than the discovery of America. Like the early

explorers of this world found wealth, power, and fame, the

explorers of the New Reality on the other side of the universal

Klein Bottle will also found their empires and fortunes --- if

they manage to avoid the savage cannibals prowling the

hyperspacial jungles and the jealousy of the nobility when they

return with their finds to civilization --- you are better off

with the savages. Success could be yours, if you are young,

energetic, enterprising --- and if your spouse will support you

while you get your act together.

The theorems of hypergeometry actually describe the

properties of crystals, the quintessence of solid state physics.

--------

Crystals provide the means for tapping the titanic energies of

hyperspace for human industry. By the time you read The Second

Book of Hyperspace, you will realize that the human body is

actually a living crystal, the most highly evolved crystal in

this world. Miracles are worked by holy men, such as Jesus,

when they learn to alter the crystal parameters of their bodies.

The Rock on which Christ built His Church is the very

----

Philosopher's Stone sought by alchemists throughout history;

-------------------

like the Riddle of The Sphynx, Peter is the human body. The very

-----------------------

fact that the Philosopher King Arthur's Stone is sought indicates

that this hyperscience was known by prehistoric cabals; they are

probably still alive and herding the human livestock on this

lively little planet for their own benefit more than ours. Anyone

who trusts the shepherd when he comes bearing gifts has got to be

some kind of sheep.

"KARMA --- The Birth, Life, and Death of YOUR SOUL"

completes this trilogy. You will learn why some people are

healthy, wealthy, and wise, while others suffer various

deficiency diseases. Even love, marriage, and happiness are

determined by each person's position in hyperspace, commonly

plotted by astrologists. Just as modern science has already

opened hyperspace for trade and commerce without knowing what

they hath wrought, the spiritual dimensions of hyperspace are

all described in the world's religions without anyone knowing

what the great Teachers were really talking about. You will

realize the meaning of your life and your eternal soul by the

time you complete The Hyperspace Trilogy. (*1)

If I live long enough, the story of how I made all these

discoveries in the ZEN martial arts will be told when I finish

writing the first book I began, "FIERCE LOVE --- The Secret

of Spiritual Power in The ZEN MARTIAL ARTS".

The Flying Saucer is a challenge to science and politics. As

far as the millions of wonderersare concerned, however, the UFO

phenomenon is an essentially religious excitement, the secular

apotheosis of the Messiah. Unlike any other study, The Hyperspace

Trilogy responds to all public concerns by explaining the

technological, the political, and the religious mysteries

concurrently. This book is the beginning of a literary work

destined to be a seminal classic of the New Age, a text for

researchers, inventors, engineers, farmers and gardeners,

psychologists and psychiatrists, religious disciples, medical

doctors and interminably ill patients, politicians, advertisers,

artists, architects, athletes, science-fiction writers and

everyone who wants to know why people are such problems,

especially the people we love. You are not starting to read a

book but beginning a graduate university course of studies that

will change your perception more drastically than an O.D. ticket

on the SugarCube Express. The Hyperspace Trilogy is the kind of

study that enables its readers to fullfill their vocations to

become holistic teachers needed to lead people into the New Age.

********************** FORWARD **********************

Thank you for participating in a pioneering publishing

venture.

Mass communication has progressed through four major

transformations. The first revolution separated the author from

his audience by means of writing; the LITERATI became a secret

society of COGNOSCENTI that used its exclusive knowledge to

dominate the ignorant masses. Modern democracy began when movable

type made it possible for a message to be received by everyone

who could read. Recently, radio broadcasting countered the first

and second revolutions by delivering messages to everyone who

can't read; television is likely to be the MATADOR of democracy.

The capital cost of printing plants and broadcasting studios

limits the messengers to parties of power and wealth, whose

messages are determined to maintain the STATUS QUO --- natcherly

--- especially their own status plus all the more quid they can

quo. The tragic consequence of mass communications has been the

dissemination of tendencious knowledge to enslave the minds of

mankind, rather than free us to experience our own ignorance

until we learn better. A truly free press for truly free minds

could not exist until the personal home photocopier brought

publishing within the economic capacity of every person with a

message and postage. As well as reducing the cost of copying to a

few pennies per kilowatt hour, the computer completes the

revolution of mass communications by restoring audience feedback.

As camels and soups show, quality goes down as participation

increases, but participation is better for the participators;

eventually, participators support higher standards.

Since authors began to write, instead of speaking directly

to their audience, ideas have flowed in one direction, only. It

is, however, as impossible to teach without learning as it is to

learn without teaching, which is why so little is learned from

reading books. For the first time since the advent of writing,

the computer makes it possible for readers to contribute to the

discourse and transform a lecture into a dialogue, a

conversation, a seminar, a workshop, a global town meeting.

Finding a publisher for my first book, How To Build A

--------------

Flying Saucer, took nearly ten years; nearly ten more years

-------------

passed while my market grew to critical mass by word of mouth.

Now people are reading my first book as if the ideas were as hot

as tomorrow's news, but a whole generation has grown up to

drinking age --- and another generation has died of cirrhotic

livers --- since I was working out those early insights. My

ideas develop so rapidly that I had to rewrite the manuscript

every year until it was published. Once printed, however, the

printing plates are as immutable as graven stone. As soon as I

began to write my personal correspondence on computer, I

realized that this electronic medium keeps discoveries alive and

growing through pooling contributions in ways not feasible by

any other means of communication. The entire industry is built

by fielding half-baked ideas and then improving them with

consumer feedback, as it goes along; no other industry advances

so fast, and in no other industry do the suppliers lag behind

the advances made by their own demanders. And thus it came to

pass as I was speaking to the Global Sciences Congress, held at

Denver in August, l987, that the idea came to me to offer my

audience my current manuscripts explaining HYPERSPACE to

----------

everyone who would participate by also sharing their ideas on

computer discs.

Ideally, a book of this nature should be transmitted over

wires to be downloaded by Special Interest Groups on

international networks. In the present state of the art,

however, computers still cannot replace paper. This

unrealistically jealous industry has not yet made files

universally readable, like sound and film tapes, and it is still

impractical to transmit text formats and illustrations through

wires. Even after the computer industry gets its parameters

together, all of us early worms will remain stuck with our

capital investments. Therefore, I have decided to print my

manuscripts onto discs for postal distribution to the computers

being used now.

---

This enterprise will succeed only if each reader will make

at least two copies and pass them on. Some readers may not know

three other people with compatible computers, so it is hoped

that readers with the most popular computer models will pass on

to their computing friends as many copies as they feel this

publication is worth. If anyone can make conversions to

unpopular computers, a copy returned to me will be passed on to
