"worldline" where The U.S.A. did not take part in World War II. There are

some Montauk project investigators such as Michael Ash who state that the

Montauk Project had sent agents back in time to help Great Britain AND

America win the war against Germany. Could THIS current time/world-line be

the result of time-travel manipulation? OR, could it be that some of the

agents working at Montauk who were affiliated with Germany, went back in

time and helped Germany to win the war, essentially createing another

worldline? Whatever the case, read on and form your own conclusions.

The following source believes that HIS timeline is the original due to

various inconsistencies that he has observed in our world, and that OURS is

an engineered reality. Alex Collier on the other hand states that the

"Zenatae" people with whom he is in contact also confirmed that there is a

German Empire timeline however that OUR timeline is the original, yet the

Zenatae "Andromedans" ALSO state that THIS is essentially the second time

around, i.e. that there was a timeline before THIS one was created [by the

Montauk Project], the creation of this worldline having changed the 5th

dimensional reality of the Zenatae's themselves. So what is the TRUE

reality? Or is reality like a hologram of a TREE? -- that is, all the

"branches" are connected at the subtle levels yet one will "see" a different

"reality" depending on what "branch-perspective" they are looking at!?.

Could the creation of multiple timelines by temporal manipulation on the

part of the Montauk projects lead to some kind of unraveling of the linear

third dimension itself, perhaps around the year 2012 as some have suggested?

Thank you for your gracious if overwhelming reply. I can only hope that I

have the intellectual stamina to co-ordinate the expression of my thoughts

as well as you have deployed yours. Because of other demands I will be

obliged to respond to your e-mail in a piece-meal fashion, but eventually I

will address, in however a circuitous route, as many of the topics as I can.

The paucity in my personal experience of different world-lines makes me

incapable of attributing the primacy of origin or determination to one as

opposed to another. Indeed, as I am increasingly coming to suspect, that may

be ultimately a meaningless question. Although, by circumscribing one's set

of references, a diligent observer could discern a geneology. Any person who

has transposed from their aboriginal world-line to an alternative can

automatically, by virtue of their discrepant nature, evaluate the

comparative stability or 'solidity' of the two. At least, this is my

vouchsafed experience. This natural talent or expertise is perhaps not

germane to, and probably obfuscates, any attempt to ascertain a family-tree.

To continue.... Another aptitude that is acquired by a transposer is a

psychic sensitivity which I call (and this is possibly a misnomer)

chronopathy, i.e.: the ability to detect locales where there is a temporal

discontinuity. This has a variety of formats. What might be indicated is a

site of unusual temporal integrity or intensity in comparison to it's

surroundings. Or a configuration that is peculiarly related to a counterpart

on another time/world-line, and thus has a higher potential to facilitate a

physical transfer between the two tracks. There are doubtlessly other

determinations which can be gleaned and a superintending gestalt that I do

not yet understand. In my experience, an overcast day is the most conducive

condition or prerequisite for reliable and repeated observations; but, on

the other hand, the absence of sunlight, that is to say, the evening

obliterates any sensitivity. On one or two occasions I have discovered in

the full bore of unfiltered sunlight one of these outstanding sites or

overlaps. Whether this was due to a unique emanation or an unusual degree of

discrimination on my part, or some other variable or combination of the

aforementioned, I cannot say. This year I intend to begin a cartographical

record of these areas. Lastly, alas, I must acknowledge that in my case I

can only espy those emplacements that are synchronized (in whatever manner

or quality) with my own world-line. As to whether this reveals an intrusion

of one domain upon the other, or a natural or artificial network of

gateways...I do not know. Although I am prone to rampages of speculation,

about this entire matter I am trying to be as circumspect as possible. Soon.

Deleting, for the sake of narrative simplicity, my own intricate and

confusing story (that will have to be recounted later), let me expatiate

upon my home world-line.

It is 25 years behind this time-line.

Perhaps the most glaring departure between the two is that the United States

never participated in the Second World War. After the conquest of

Metropolitan France by Germany (and Italy), the British Empire signed an

armistice and subsequent peace-treaty with the Axis powers. A matter has

occured which unfortunately obliges me to curtail the account very

prematurely. I will resume as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.

The provisions of the settlement were actually quite lenient. There was to

be no occupation and the British army was promptly repatriated (there was no

Dunkirk-the war party in the Parliament toppled when the B.E.F. was bagged

in France). And in return for German 'guidance' in British foreign (and to a

lesser degree, domestic) policy and the contribution of a modest

expeditionary force (mainly naval) to the great anti-Bolshevik crusade,

Hitler, to the extreme annoyance of the Italians, personally guaranteed the

integrity of the British Empire (a point not lost on the Japanese either).

Although Hitler was very partial to Mussolini as an individual, the German

military established a far more intimate relationship with the English than

they ever desired to with their ostensible Italian allies. Nevertheless, the

remants of the war party, in the guise of a British-first movement, was able

to survive, after a fashion, as the loyal Parliamentary opposition.

Punctuated with violence, the socialist and labor coalition was suppressed,

intimidated, co-opted, or bought-off. They remain to this day however the

source of the English Resistance (by way of comparison, they are to the

United Kingdom what the Basques are to contemporary Spain in this

world-line). WW II was much less damaging to Britain than was the case here.

A number of nations, especially Australia and New Zealand, were more

pro-Empire than even the English! South Africa became the 'fascist

comscience' of Great Britain, while Canada became the haven for the disloyal

(albeit ineffectual) opposition. India remained the jewel in the crown; but

the sub-continent was a much more fractious place than it was in the pre-war

period. This took longer than I anticipated. It's time for me to move along

again. More later....

Before I continue my historical background briefing tomorrow, let me quickly

answer a few of your latest questions.

If you regard any of my information or conjectures meritorious enough, then

by all means post whatever you wish.

On my world-line, during the war many thousands of Jews were surreptitiously

ransomed by concerned parties in the Western Hemisphere. Otherwise, they and

others were gradually exhausted as slave-labor. It was the maw of inhuman

economics that consumed their lives rather than occultic monomania.

From my 15 year research effort I have concluded that whereas the Germans

may have lost the war on this world, the Nazis and their allies in the

United States definitely won.

Although I learned in 1974 how to physically transfer myself back to my

aboriginal world-line (an opportunity of which I fortunately did not avail

myself), agents there 'grafted' my consciousness upon a duplicate in this

world. A simply made remark that plasters over a great many stumbling blocks

of detail.

I am in general agreement concerning your assertion that dreams can be a

medium of insertion or transference. But if I may use myself once again as a

totally unrepresentative statistical sample, in my experience (which I have

undergone only a few times), it is a 'trance' state even deeper than the

usual oneiric condition that actually propels one into an authentic

alternative world. One would realize that you have transposed if, in your

dream, all of your senses, self-awareness, and perhaps most importantly

critical reflectiveness are as active as they are when you are 'awake'.

Ordinarily, these faculties are non-existant, suppressed, or diminished in

the dream-state. In any case, when an 'immigrant' returns their

consciousness to their home world-line they experience an ineffable

re-synchronization or 'aptness' that throws into glaring relief how 'unreal'

their other life has been.

As if attempting to subdue China wasn't a sufficient strain upon Japan's

resources, beginning in May 1939 they found themselves in an ever expanding

war with the Soviet Union. Being so preoccupied on the the mainland of Asia

the Japanese Empire couldn't even seriously entertain a general offense

against the United States or even the vestigial European colonial powers

(particularly since they were now the clients of Germany).

With Britain and Japan thus removed as instigators, the interventionist

cause collapsed in America. Even after the invasions of the Soviet Union the

consensus of the citzenry was: "It's far away...they might all kill each

other off... what about us?" A degree of artificial prosperity was generated

by the expansion of the armed forces (less than undertaken by your country

during WW II, but stupendous compared to the pre-war levels of either

world-line) and more decisively by the elaboration of the armaments

industry. The dominant isolationist faction accepted the conversion of the

United States into Fortress Anerica, and the internationalists had to be

content with arranging for the hemispheric defense.

It wasn't until approximately 1960 that the United States was able to

surmount the pitfalls created by the Great Depression. We did not enjoy the

unique and tremendous economic advantages that allowed the America of this

world-line to so spectacularly flourish. There was little transfer of hard

assets (principally undertaken by Great Britain in your time-line) to our

coffers. There was no post-war worldwide captive market for our exports and

investments. And there was no returning throng of potential consumers

prepared to re-vitalize the domestic economy. Consider the ramifications of

that last absent phenomenon. We didn't have a baby-boom! There was no

demographic displacement to the suburbs (of course there was some inevitable

expansion in that direction)! On the other hand, we too have an interstate

highway system-and one completed earlier than yours (faciltates

troop-movements you know). Our material quality of life would seem spartan,

somewhat shabby, and rather technologically unsophisticated to you (even

allowing for the 25 year discrepacy in our 'temporal velocities'), but a

preservationist would regard my U.S. of A. as a paradise.

I can quickly reply to two of your previous questions before I describe

contemporary conditions on my world-line.

America participated in WW I as it did in your history. And I have no idea

if JFK was assassinated or even if he entered politics. My knowledge of

personalities is non-existent. I have a conjecture as to why that is the

case, but I must cogitate upon it further before I will hazard a thesis.

Currently my world-line has dire expectations for it's future. Imagine your

own world's cold-war at its most truculent-with the equivalent of a Cuban

Missile Crisis occuring two of three times a year. Nerves are frazzled

beneath the surface of denial. The final war is expected-if not tomorrow or

even the day after, then someday and soon. At least in the United States,

people eagerly (if not desperately) lose themselves in the intricacies of

ordinary life.

Let me set the international scene.

After the conquest of European Russia, the gruesome colonization of their

frontier-the Ostmark, the giddiness of recasting the architectural face of

Greater Germany, the self-indulgence abetted by plunder and triumph, and the

glorification of the fatherland not experienced since 1871, the Third Reich

is obviously the pre-eminent, if not pre-dominant, world power. And although

the technocrats believe the future for Germany is in continuing it's

monopoly of space exploration and colonization, the latest generation of

occultic ideologues are on the verge of successfully promoting a renewal of

war in order to acquire the sacred Aryan homeland of Central Asia.

Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 11:25:53 -0600 (CST)

To continue and I hope complete my most generalized recounting of the

international situation on my world-line....

India has become a running sore for Great Britain. Very little of the Indian

Army would be available for overseas deployment and that otherwise large

military assest is just about the only enticement for the British to remain.

Everyone expects them to abandon the sub-continent soon and let (greater)

India return to it's pre-conquest Balkanized condition. Canada is

independent in all but name; and, of course, a somewhat dismembered France

(at the connivance of the Germans) is attempting with considerable success

to incite the secessionist sentiments of Quebec. Justifiably, the Empire has

become increasing paranoid about Japan.

The 'new Roman Empire' of Italy has settled (or sunk) into quiescense.

Of all the former Axis powers, Japan suffered the greatest losses,

expenditure of capital, and realized the least from its victory. The

Japanese fought the Soviet Union the longest and with the least success. The

spoils of Siberia have not been extracted as thoroughly as they might

because of the under-capitalized Japanese economic infrastructure. Although

as an outlet for the excess population from the home islands, the 'Northern

Frontier Zone' has provided one of the few untarnished consequences of

victory. China has been subdued but in it's subjection has become a

tremendous burden for Japan to control. Perhaps in reaction to a less than

satisfactory (especially compared to Germany) post-war recovery and as

development of pre-war sociological trends, the Japanese have become even

more hysterical in their racial chauvinism than even the Nazis! The ruling

class has immersed itself in a nihilistic spiritual creed. Think of a North

Korea in command of the manpower and potential wealth of the Far East and

you will have an image of the condition that obtains in contemporary Japan.

It is widely assumed that the British Empire in the Pacific will be their

first target, followed by the Americans.

One more installment should do it.

America is a garrison state, it has ruthlessly, if not always nakedly,

enforced it's hegemony of the Western Hemisphere. The chronic and

occasionally acute demands of national security have provoked restiveness in

a potion of the public, but for many Americans this is the first era of

relative affluence they have enjoyed since the fabled 1920's and so they're

willing to overlook the fact that the United States is a cryptofascist

country.

Along this world-line Roswell evidently never happened and thus Col. Corso

(or his counterpart) didn't insinuate retro-engineered alien technolgy into

our commercial infrastructure. The subsequent social revolution that this

world-line underwent never occurred on my homeworld. Although the

sophistication of our computers is many technical generations behind yours,

my America is our world's leader in the development of 'electronic

calculators'.

A frantic Great Britain has at last succeeded in prying the United States

loose from it's official foreign policy of autarkic isolationism (of course

we regard South America and the rest of North America as our economic and

political preserve-and there has been for 50 years a tight, if

unacknowledged, collusion between the plutocracies of Germany and the

U.S.A.). There is a defacto alliance between the British Empire and America

to repel the impending Japanese onslaught.

Germany is expected to opportunistically revive it's drive to the east

bringing it on a collision course with the Empire of Nippon. However oblique

the motives and goals of the 'allies' may be they have the power to defeat

Japan. But defeat isn't enough. Japan is sufficiently strong to be a vortex

capable of dragging everyone else down. And on my world-line there will be

no hesitation about depleting the super-weapons in every combatant's

arsenal.

I have now at last finished conveying the highlights of my homeworld's

modern history and contemporay situation. I apologize for any pedantry, but

without providing some background my own story is incomprehensible.

If one must identify a single divergency-tangent (a descriptive model that I

am increasingly coming to regard as a distorting over-simplification)

between our world-lines, it would be the Japanese reaction to the

humiliating defeat inflicted upon them by the Soviet Union in the battle of

Khalkin-Gol or the Nomohan Incident that concluded on the 31st of August

1939.

I just don't know if there was a Montauk Project or even a Philadelphia

Experiment on my world-line. It is obvious to me however that some party or

parties in that United States has the power to implant my psyche into this

world-line and to communicate with me as required. I was dispatched on a

mission and I can only presume, let me reiterate, presume that I wasn't sent

here alone. I'm just the tip of a very long tail.

Perhaps my remarks concerning the issue of the primacy and derivativeness of

world-lines was elliptical, too off-handed, or so embedded textually as to

be understandably overlooked. I never intended to imply that I regarded my

homeworld as the original; in fact, I have come to consider the question of

which time/world-line was the first as a meaningless one. However, for

reasons previously mentioned, I have ascertained that this world-line,

compared to my own (the only basis of comparison I have) is profoundly

far-fetched and volitile.

Insofar as I can determine, if one must ascribe a single initial divergence

(another practice about which I have become highly dubious) it would be the

success in your history of the Dee-Kelly Enochian Workings (1582-87).

This instability has been subsequently reinforced by the passing of the Dark

Satellite (1881), the Montauk Project (insert your own dates), the

detonation of a teratological bomb by the U.S. (1993), and God knows what

else. As for being a multiversal cross-roads....whatever this world-line was

originally, it sure is one now.

The question of doubles is a vexing one. Although I am very inclined to

answer no, I feel that if I did so an important qualification or aspect

would be swept under the rug. I'm sorry that I don't have a facile reply,

but this is another mystery about my situation which perplexes me.

No PBS or cable, but our commercial networks are more numerous. The

broadcasting emphasis is upon local and national 'niche-programming' much as

it was in the early 50's on this world-line. In content, it's never moved

too far away from it's foundation in radio. A rut I guess, however we never

had to wait for the latest programming fad to receed either. By the way, the

movie studios received an anti-trust exemption (it was in the 'national

interest' to have that propaganda mill undisturbed) and so the movie

industry never underwent the wrenching restructuring that here it suffered

through for 30 years.

Insofar as I can ascertain, our industrial style and the pace of alteration

is extremely modest or conservative compared to flurry of change and

temporary domination of a given fashion that we experience. On my

world-line, the American civilian economy, although robust, just doesn't

have the elasticity and self-indulgent abundance that is so staggering on

your world.

Our most advanced American cars are lower, wider and more curvaceous than

those with which we are familiar. The new Beetle is very reminiscent of our

automobile designs. We didn't have to endure fins, compact cars,

or...ahh...Japanese imports.

In apparel, societal strictures have prevented the flood of informality that

has inundated the costuming here. The uniforms of subcultures (Goth,

gangsta, etc.) that have proliferated in this America are, insofar as they

exist at all, marginal and when they surface regarded with suspicion by the

I have previously alluded to the fact that on my world-line there is a

substantial collaboration between the American plutocracy and the

technocratic faction of the German ruling-class. I am, of course, not privy

To reiterate: the most valuable resource 'possessed' by this planet, the one

which attracts in ever increasing numbers visitors from throughout the

multiverse, is its metaphysical and empirical eccentricity.

The strain of improbabilty, indigenous to all world-lines, is unusually and

significantly pronounced in this one. Activities can be undertaken here that

are prohibitively difficult on the operator's homeworld, Discoveries,

inventions, experiments, etc., which, if possible at all, would require

exorbitant time and labor to even attempt on another-more staid-world can be

performed on this planet, at this time, with comparative ease.

Unfortunately, every such act (and indeed the insertion of the 'alien'

perpetrator himself) increases the instability of this world-line.

Improbabilities compound themselves until, if you will, the speculative bull

market crashes. I would be surprised if there weren't numerous native-born

humans who aren't exploiting this condition as well. Whatever else obtains

that would contribute to the explanation of this planet's current condition,

this is the situation as I understand (and have been given to understand) it

to be.

Regretably [****], I am unable to answer the vast majority of your

questions, and the rest only in a generality. For example, organized

religion in my America still has an elaborate and intimate community or

neighborhood presence generally throughout the country.

Remember, the Sixties never happened on my world; and the social alterations

which happened so precipitously and irresistibly here have proceeded, shall

we say, more sedately or diffidently from where I come. But as to the

details of how our scriptures differ from yours... I have no idea. I

presume-or take for granted-that until the divergency in 1939 the minutiae

of daily life were identical on both worlds.

This is my problem (well, one of them): something more substantial than my

consciousness but (I presume-once again, as usual) something less

encompassing than my soul was 'transferred' involuntarily from my aboriginal

world to this one. This happened when I was six years old (on both worlds).

I first became aware of my 'dislocation' when I was eight years of age (on

this world-line of course). How much does a six year old remember about

anything? How much can anyone fortysix years later reliably remember of

one's infancy? And how much survived the 'abolition' I underwent? Besides, I

am now a fully integrated personality. The only direct knowledge I have of

my homeworld has been gleaned from those few occasions when my astral body

has been retrieved by my 'superiors' in order to reinforce my conditioning

(it isn't my intention to convey the impression that this is a sinister

procedure - the grief engendered by ontological nostalgia is more than

sufficiently persuasive in cementing one's attention). The historical

information that I have imparted devolves from a 'briefing' that those

responsible for my condition and mission 'super-imposed' upon me (again, as

reinforcement). So my knowledge is maddeningly general and abstract on the

one hand, and overly particular but severely constrained on the other. So,

although I will try to be as forthcoming as possible, I hope you will

appreciate my limitations.

with the very best of regards,

ProfessorPhate

[Note: the following post was in response to claims made by Alex Collier

that the Germans created a time/space rift in 1931 as a result of

time-travel experimentation, allowing the "Greys" to enter our reality from

the future {of an "earlier" time/world} and begin to engage in temporal

manipulation along this worldline - Alan]

Okay, I'm not quite sure if I am most directly addressing Alan or Alex, but

in any case....

When I first read this post I apriori dismissed the possibility raised

within. However upon reflection, my initial reaction was prejudiced and

hasty.

IF the Germans are experimenting with time machines upon my world-line (and

I have no indication that they are, but there is also no reason for me to be

privy to such machinations - I couldn't resist the pun), I imagine that the

means of acquring temporal technology was as follows.

Presuming that the Germans (whoever that might really be - for example,

instead of the Nazi's equivalent of the Manhattan Project, it could be the

undertaking of an isolated faction) are aware of this world-line and can

also insert their agents into it, at some junction along the post-1931

timeline of this earth, they contact those Germans engaged in chrononautical

research. Because, as I have previously posted, your world-line is much more

susceptible to paranormal exploitation the possibility of succeeding in such

experiments is significantly greater and easier. After learning all they

can, these hypothetical agents are then extracted and returned to my

homeline...and the mischief begins anew. Elements of this scenario could be

altered for it to be equally plausible, but this version seems to be the

most sensible to me.

However, let me reiterate, I know of no evidence to justify it's

supposition. Quite frankly, although I must begrudingly intellectually

concede the possibility described in your post, emotionally I don't want to

have anything to do with it. But that's a bad reflection upon me, not you.

Dear Alan and et al,

Regretably, my specific knowledge of my homeline depends upon a collage of

childhood memories, casual re-observation, 'attuned' inferences, and the

statements of my superiors.

I am unable, therefore, to reply directly to your inquiry; but obliquely I

can say this: it is my impression/understanding that most other worldlines,

are above all else, concerned with maintaining their own stability, their

own hum-drum persistence and progression, if you will.

This worldline (and others like it) is regarded as a fascinating, useful,

and horrible example of what happens when temporal/ontological manipulation

escalates.

Since the discussion of parallel worlds, including most of the concepts and

terminology associated with this topic, originated in the popular culture of

science-fiction and comic books, I thought I should bring this to your

attention.

The role-playing company TSR for its game Alternity has published a

supplement entitled Tangents. It is a source book which describes in

considerable detail their theory of alternate worlds and the technology used

to travel from one world-line to another. Of course, most of the material is

only pertinent to and phrased in terms of the game system; nevertheless,

some of you might find the conjectures contained therein to be stimulating

Dear Alan, friends, and lurkers,

My apologies for the tardiness of my reply to the question you posed on the

18th of last month, but I have been recovering from a nasty spot of

pneumonia.

My 'overseers', as you have felicitously characterized them, treat me as a

more or less involuntary agent, and thus, I can only make informed

inferences about their nature and purpose. I have been told that the

American government will be the beneficiary of the information that I accrue

upon this world. From this I surmise that they are, to some degree at least,

working for the government in some intelligence gathering and/or military

capacity. Their purview seems to be circumscribed to these areas of interest

and whatever I (and others sent from my original world-line) glean will be

dedicated to the impending war effort [against the Germanic 'empire' which

threatens the 'other' worldline? - Alan]. They may have the know-how to be a

'quantum police force', but insofar as I can tell, they have no motivation

or inclination to behave as such.

I haven't, until about five minutes ago, taken the time to read the messages

gracious reticence, referring to me as the one who has asserted that I am a

that I currently have to add to the aforementioned archived report except to

say, that based upon a certain series of disclosures which have been

Dear Mr. Hamilton, et al,

As I read your recent message I couldn't remember posting such interesting

Walton's (and may he soon rejoin us) remarks which became entangled with my

own; this is understandable since my supplementary elaborations appeared in

a dialogue with the estimable Mr. Walton. Nevertheless, although we will

have to await his exposition of the 'Time War' and the 5th dimension, I can

address your other inquiries.

Once again, I shall try to clarify a misunderstanding which hitherto I have

never been able to correct: to the best of my knowledge I never claimed that

my Earth was the prototype-indeed, I recall declaiming (perhaps a mite too

dismissively or at least testily) that such a search is impossible and

pointless. However...I did assert that from my perspective this Earth is an

artificially or unnaturally deviated counterpart in comparison to, if you

will, the set of 'natural' permutations. I, of course, can reasonably be

accused of special-pleading but that is the situation as understand it to

be.

Chronologically, my Earth is about a quarter of century behind this one;

technologically, with a number of exceptions, perhaps forty years behind

yours-well, ours-and in its culture generally between forty and fifty. If

you have found it, the particulars are dealt with in my 'position paper'.

Although I am hesitant to employ terminology gleaned from pop-culture,

simply because the allegorical correspondences begin to break down rather

quickly and it becomes, in any case, a narrow and inhibiting framework for

discussion (loved the movie though!-and Dark City is a must see!!), let me

just baldly state that as a principle I regard the astral domain as 'The

Matrix' (although with no imputation of malevolent Neo-Gnostic deception and

oppressiveness) and in its fundamental function the equivalent of the state

vector of quantum physics. And from this (he said in his best imitation of

Orson Welles as The Shadow) many portentous consequences follow. Well, I

hope some of this helps.

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

( Woman complained about his lingo ) Superfluous, Judith...never,

convoluted...so a number of my friends say. Okay, at the risk of stepping

into the same beartrap that I kept telling myself to avoid....

Let me try this: the astral domain is The Matrix, the archetypal program

that can be re-programmed to project any given simulation of reality into

the minds of its percipients. My earth, our earth, an earth where Mickey

Mouse rules the world, and all the other conceivable and inconceivable,

possible and impossible earths are specific concrete variations of this

astral software. Now left to itself this entire process proceeds according

to natural metaphysical laws, or so metaphysicians and theologians reassure

us. But the human, inhuman, and non-human will can, according to the same

sources, intervene and alter the code. This can amount to a violation of, a

temporary suspension of, or if he or she or it is really good, the

reconstitution of 'natural physical laws'. When this happens it's called

magic, divine intervention, Montauk, and a thousand and one other things

(depending on the originating agent(s) or agency); or as a contemporary

scientist might say (and as the relatively-in these circles-conservative

physicist Evan H. Walker did say)-here comes the jargon-highly sustained

willpower results in the collapse of the state vector on the macroscopic

scale at an extremely improbable level. Now, if you have one or more parties

in command of the psychological technology (in want of a better phrase), on

this world or any other, necessary to so re-order the reality of any given

group of sentients you don't have so much, as Mr. Walton says, Time-Wars, as

Reality Wars. That, in a nutshell-perhaps one with a very thick covering and

a very small nut-is why we are experiencing the real Battlefield Earth.

Okay, any better?

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

Dear Maverick,

Because you were the first to submit a daunting list of questions to I shall

address this response to you, although of course all who have expressed

interest in my statements are being kept in mind (and yes Judith I do speak

like this, sometimes to the consternation of my friends-I guess I am a

hopeless captive of a 19th century literary temperment). I see that Starfire

Tor also has some co-ordinated inquiries, and if I may ask for his

indulgence, I will try to answer his at the soonest available opportunity.

My place of business is starting to move this week, wonderfully coinciding

with a quarter of the staff leaving for vacation so I am suddenly having to

cover the shifts of a number of other workers and so I'm afraid my stamina

is being a bit over-taxed. So my apologies to all if my replies are even

less satisfactory than usual.

A prefactory note: I'm afraid that drove Mr. Walton to a state of

disappointment and exasperation (if not aggravation) when I attempted to

answer his questions. Regretfully, and no one feels this more keenly than I

do, any elucidation of mine is severely constrained by the amount of

information that I can bring to bear on the questions mustered by the list

members. Irrespective of whether or not my assertions are judged to be

self-delusional (if not indicative of a psychotic fugue), a hoax, a

egomaniacal campaign to stimulate attention, or what-have-you, my storehouse

of 'facts' or 'information' is almost devoid of goods; and I cannot

confabulate anything beyond that limitation. I will try to, as thoroughly as

I can, answer any questions but the data you seek just may not be available

to me (this is why I contacted Mr. Walton in the first place and joined this

list, i.e., in the hope that in the recounting of someone elses story I

might find something to illuminate the very dark corners of my own). So if

my responses seem to be unresponsive, vague, abstract, mere generalities, I

can only express my regret for having falsely inflating your expectations

and then wasting your time.

I infer from the context of my experience that my 'superiors' (and I place

the italic marks around that word to indicate my ironic and very ambivalent

attitude towards them) are a quasi-government group in my homeworld America.

By this I mean they are, as best as I can judge, either a deep black-ops

agency deliberately lost in the bureaucratic paperwork, or an independent

association with intimate one-way (them-to-it) ties to the government. It is

my impression that the latter is closer to the truth.

Our communication is entirely initiated from their end. On those rare

occasions when it has occurred the medium of transmission has been my

dream-state. Now, I don't have to be psychic to predict what may now be the

reaction of the more skeptical among you. Believe me, if I was in your

position my head would be shaking as well and what follows would be

classified as "Case Closed". But, in order to preserve the integrity of my

experience and the feasibilty of my claims let me, at this time, hope that

this clarification is sufficient to offset the understandable qualms one or

more of you may be having about the bother of reading further. When I have

these 'episodes' the panoply of my senses are engaged (very much unlike the

ordinary dream-state, at least mine) and indeed, at a pitch of lucidity and

vivacity greater than my waking-state. This condition is exclusively extant

during these times. It is as if, and this is how I interpret it or choose to

interpret it, I am returning to the psycho-physical matrix to which I was

aboriginally atturned and to which I am briefly re-integrated. It's a

peculiar form of a heightened state of consciousness. Without further

flailing about in, what must shortly become for all of you, a tedious

attempt to describe this singular state, let me just conclude by saying that

it's nature is such as to throw it into contrast with every other state of

consciousness that I ordinarily experience. So, unless I am dealing with an

eccentric neurological disorder-a possibility which I must acknowledge even

if I vehemently reject it-the phenomenal validity is vouchsafed for me

because of the aforementioned comparisons which I can tabulate. Well, as

Judith, my stylistic conscience, might point out I am becoming garrulous-and

here I haven't even finished answering your second question! I beseech your

patience and I will resume soon.

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

To resume,

It would be helpful if I replied to your questions Maverick in the order

given...ahh, literacy-what a concept-I've got to try it some time. I jumped

from inquiry number one to three. I will try to be more attentive in the

future.

Most specifically, my sponsors (if you will) want me to discover what

methods have been developed on this fraternal earth (if I may expropriate

C.D. Hoit's most felicitous characterization-kudos!) to biologically enhance

the human body/mind to suprahuman levels. Or to render it another way, to

deliberately punctuate Stephen Gould's 'evolutionary equilibrium'. If

Marverick you have been able to download my historical overview I think you

would join me in concluding that they wish to apply whatever I have gleaned

to improving the military capabilities of their America. Frankly, I don't

begrudge them this at all.

more soon, and I won't be reading any more posts on this list until I answer

your questions, otherwise I will be spinning off on so many digressions that

I'll never get back. And then on to Starfire Tor. If you and he have taken

the time and effort to solicit my responses (however inadequate and

unsatisfying they may be), the least I can do is to stay focused on one

compendium at a time. Oh, and best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

Dear Maverick and all,

At the risk of, as usual, leaving myself hanging from an expostulary thread,

let me slip in a few remarks before I go to work.

The contact in my sleep might be more exactly described as an extraction. I

believe (and their might be a more accurate explanation of this phenomenon

but this is the one which makes the most sense to me) that a very deeply

embedded hypnotic program is stimulated by my superiors on these occasions

which enables them to 'pull out' the self than originated on my fraternal

earth, realign its frequency of being so that it conforms to the resonance

of their reality, and then communicate whatever it is they wish to impart;

presumably the process is then reversed and my aboriginal self is then

'reinserted' or allowed to flow back into the host-my doppleganger on this

world. That is why I am sympathetic towards and prejudiced in favor of at

least some of Al Bielek's assertions (Mr. Hamilton's disquietude about his

account not withstanding), especially those concerning the 'soul-grafting'

(my phrase not his, and probably a poor one) which he and others have had

performed upon them. Well, I'm up against the unyielding clock and I'm off

for the day. I wish, oh do I dearly wish, I could be more exact and detailed

in my rendition Maverick but this is about the best I can do. Maybe when I

take on your further questions I can give a more satisfactory reply.

best regards

ProfessorPhate

-------

Good morning Maverick and whomever else is still slogging through this with

me,

To provisionally conclude my reponse to your question about the

"communication pathway", let me hasten to add that my reversions to my

homeworld are hardly frequent or periodic. In my entire life I have only

been returned three times, although on the first occasion, the episode was

protracted over several weeks. However, I have (again, technically in a

dream state) subconsciouly projected my self into, or been supinely

attracted by the 'gravitational pull' of, or whatever, my fraternal planet.

The second time I was withdrawn by my superiors I was admonished that such a

spontaneous, involuntary, or surreptitious 'snapping-back' was very reckless

and hazardous (to me, to the mission, to them, to the space-time

equilibrium-I don't know, as usual, I was told as little as necessary) and

not to do it again-for whatever reason I haven't.

This might be the right place to interpolate the sequence of the procedure

whereby I 'arrived' on the world. On my fraternal earth I was an adult (and

no, I don't remember any personal details-when I have made an unauthorized

return I seem to be incessently touring my home city-a rough analogue to the

one I live in here- I think in an attempt to 'touch-base' with something

tangible,familiar, in the hope of recovering some personal information from

that period of my life), that personalilty was distilled and regressed to

the age of six (this is about to become even more bizarre, inconsistent, and

demented sounding but this is what they told me). I was then projected into,

or grafted upon (insert your own preferred designation) the being of my

doppleganger, who was approximately the same age (I can 'verify' this

because I acutely recall the exact instant-literally-when I realized, at the

age of eight, that I wasn't from this world and that something was very

askew'; I don't know if the epiphany coincided with the introduction of my

base or previous personality or if that fact had taken that long to

percolate to the top of, ahh, my consciousness. Then I was informed that

when I obtained the information they sought I would be extracted, rejoined

with my six year old self (although with the intellectual maturity of a ten

year old, I suppose due to the subconscious presence of the life-time

experiences of two adults) allowed to naturally age to about the age of

fourteen and then debriefed and my 'package' retrieved. Sounds stupid,

doesn't it. And as for all those loose ends...I have absolutely no idea what

happens to them or how to reconcile the multiple paradoxes. I am equally

ignorant concerning the instrumental details of how all this is done, or why

it is, or has to be, done that way. As I have said before, I am the very tip

of a very long tail, so my perspective isn't the most panoramic.

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

Dear Maverick, and all whose further inquiries and comments I hope to

address in order of appearance before the expiration of the decade,

Apropos your recommendation of the term 'aberrant'. As I've indicated, upon

reading C.D.Hoit's characterization ('fraternal world'), I have adopted his

usage in lieu of the one you proposed. Nevertheless, your own coinage is an

especially apt description of this earth's categorical status, and if I

might, without sowing terminological confusion, I would like to reserve for

potential application the adjective 'aberrant' for worlds (I hope few in

number) that can be so classified.

Apparently, I am indeed asserting that these aberrant worlds (in your sense)

are inhabited by soul-filled entities, just as the 'real' (?) world does. Of

course, although I have had recourse to this designation myself, it's

presence in this conversation makes me uncomfortable, simply because so many

sects, denominations, philosophers, and spiritual traditions have so many

differing definitions of this ontological component-the existence of which

is for so many people, in any case, hypothetical at best. But the barn door

was imprudently opened by me, so....

When you asked: "What is the interface that allows for the detection of and

the connection to targeted souls to fuze?", I am moved to clarify the entire

context of this issue. All of the material dealt with by me in that post

concerns a secret society on this world. The last time I was 'summoned home'

I had a very anomalous encounter with my superiors. On this unique occasion,

the discussion had nothing to do with my standing mission. I was shown a

film, accompanied by a briefing (the sources of the content of that post),

and told to garner as much additional information as rapidly as possible. I

inferred that another agent or agents furnished them initially with what

data they possessed because the topic was a surprise to me. I surmised that

they were very disturbed by the scope and activities of this fraternity

because of its potential to destabize the existential adamancy of their own

world. Perhaps they also are trepidatious about the competitive prowess of

this group. I threw out what they knew in the hope that someone could fill

in a blank there, add a detail here, etc. Nothing came of it; and to me it

was just another job, and a digressive one at that. But I must acknowlege,

in my judgement, their acute concern is justified.

"Are your 'superiors' using souls, in the aberrant world, to restructure the

matrix in the aberrant world...the real world?" I'm sorry but I cannot begin

to answer that question. I doubt if any conjecture on my part, which you

weren't soliciting anyway, would be much more insightful than your own.

more soon and with best regards,

ProfessorPhate

Hello list members,

"Please identify and expand. Only through specifics can we share a useful

communication." ( Maverick was so pushy he repeated this throughout his

entire grilling of Prof. he was so specific he got kicked off

dragonslayers.N) And if they were to be had they would be yours. The only

meager addition, a clarification actually, is that this secret society has

franchises, if I can be excused the flippancy, at the time of the original

post, on four fraternal worlds, including this earth where it apparently

originated. I would presume, given what information I did receive (imparted

to me with unusual thoroughness), that in the interim they have considerably

expanded. This briefing was the last, or latest, contact I have had with my

homeworld. As the perspicacious have noticed, there is a very messy issue of

differing temporal flow-rates, so if my assumption is factually correct, my

sponsors may have an altogether different perspective. I can only reiterate

that, at the time ( :-) ) it was sudden and very apprehensive development.

Well Maverick, in the absence of an autobiography, that's the rest of the

story insofar as your (initial?) list of questions is concerned. Perhaps

contained therein something of value or interest was gleaned by you and the

others. All complaints are to be directed to parties unknown on a world far

far away.

I will now return to the message board and reply, in rotation, to any

further inquiries submitted by the list members. Thank you all for your

courteous interest and I hope I didn't find my way into too many kill-files.

best regards

ProfessorPhate

Well Starfire, they have never used the Internet to communicate with me,

probably because the Internet, PC's, and even Webtv have not, I suppose,

even been imagined on my homeworld. No Roswell, no Corso, no

transitors...nifty death-ray citadels though. But if you will read the last

chapter of "The Electric Connection: Its Effects on Mind and Body" by

Michael Shallis I think you will discover some germane, albeit disquieting,

observations on the topic of what can use the Internet to initiate

communication.

I trust that I have been able to elaborate upon, if not satisfactorily

answer, a number of your subsequent questions. As to whether or not I

believe that "...magick and the occult sciences play a real role in the

working of the matrix.", I most emphatically do, especially here!

To the best of my knowledge (and this only refers to the research that I

have conducted) only the works of John Bennett (sp?) bear some relevance to

the issue of the historical origins of this secret society; I am reasonably

confident in asserting that the Freemasons, Illuminatti, etc. are not

involved. Their objectives (as claimed by themselves or by their detractors)

and methodologies don't seem to be pertinent.

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

Dear Maverick,

Just let take a moment to reassure you that I am not a member of the Bielek

claque. Unlike Mr. Hamilton, or perhaps yourself, I do not have the

competence (nor frankly, the inclination) to examine the veracity of his

claims. His personal account, nor even his rendition of the P.E./Montauk

Affair (sounds like an old Man From U.N.C.L.E. episode) has any intrinsic

bearing upon my own experiences. To paraphrase what you said, just because

one can usefully segregate discrete elements from the accounts of the

Montauk Three (or is it Four now?) doesn't compel one to endorse the

remainder. If posterity confirms his version of events, then good for him;

if not, then I trust he realized he couldn't take it with him. Certain

aspects of his story resonate with me but it is those similarities and not

necessarily the man himself which arouses my attention

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

Dear Maverick,

My apologies for the tardiness of my replies, and I am afraid they will

continue, for a while, to be sporadic; because of the relocation of my

workplace I have recently been pulling down sometimes triple shifts and when

I return home even turning on the Internet seems to be an unbearable chore.

In your message of 8/4/10:57 A.M., you postulated that there may have been

episodes which I can no longer consciously retrieve. Insofar as the

unilateral initiatives of my superiors are concerned, I don't think so, the

ambience of the event is much to singular for me to forget one. However, it

is possible, although I have tried to monitor these experiences as

assiduously as I can, that I have forgotten one or more of my 'unauthorized'

returns. It also seems to me that the psuedo-physical process of retracting

me to my homeworld is the only method available to those responsible, at

least there has been no indication of any other means hitherto employed. And

yet...I must admit that it would be reasonable to infer that they have some

way to keep themselves apprised of my situation.

"Do you have a preference of worlds?" To most baldly put it: at least

subconsciously, the compulsion to return is the leitmotiv of my life; a fact

about which I am both rueful and considerably ambivalent.

Alas, I must shortly leave for work and I am unable to continue. I hope,

upon my return this evening, I will be able to resume and reply at greater

length.

best regards,

Prof Phate

-------

Dear Maverick,

In your letter of 8/4/10:57 A.M. you asked for a clarification of my

relationship with those I have dubbed 'superiors' and if I am implying a

more specific subordination. Because they were responsible for my situation,

imprinted and reinforced my motivation, and claim to possess the means of

restoring a facsimile of my aboriginal life, I have deemed them my superiors

or sponsors. Nothing else is (knowingly) intended. In schematic terms, it

may not be the most fitting but it seems subjectively the most apt

designation.

I really don't remember a single detail about my adult life on my homeworld;

and I truly cannot imagine that any aspect of any of my vocations has the

slightest concordance (other than the sheerly coincidental and trivial) with

any professional attainment upon my fraternal earth. I do however believe

that my avocational interests have been substantially influenced by my

subconscious 're-education'.

You have asked me to untangle some of the sequential conundrums. When I was

an adult on my homeworld that state of being was regressed to the person

that I was (on the fraternal earth) at the age of six. This 'composite' was

then alloyed with my counterpart on this world; this had to have been done

before my epiphany at the age of eight (now whether this was done one second

or n-years beforehand, I can't say). It is my impression that I no longer

subsist as an adult on my homeworld-indeed, if one could in synchronization

observe both worlds at this moment I don't know what (if any) tangible

presence I would have on my original earth.

You are correct in your recapitulation of the sequence of temporal and

biological relationships which I was told that would eventuate upon my

restoration. Apparently, the "plan to retrieve and terminate the

mission...." has not yet reached the phase of implementation.

I must concede that I am not unsympathetic to the reasonablesness of

situating my experience within the psychological model of abuse but it is

not entirely satisfactory to me, after all, for example, a soldiers

relationship to his superior officer can be justly so described but you must

acknowledge there is an extenuating context that undermines the literal

accuracy of such a characterization. Nevertheless, your words bear

reflection on my part.

Let me address the remaining portions of you thoughtful e-mail in the near

future.

best regards,

ProfessorPhate

-------

Dear Starfire Tor,

I am in-between business trips and as I was trying to swim against the tide

of reading my messages before the heat death of the universe occurs I

encounterd yours. And to you as well I hope you will excuse my laggardness

in replying.

The reason why I wanted to draw your attention to "The Electric Connection"

by Michalel Shallis was because in the last chapter he applies Rudolf

Steiner's concept of the Ahrimanic principle to the nature of cybernetics.

He asserts that whereas raw electricity is the substantial body of Ahriman

(a necessary but adversarial Spirit insofar as the evolution of the human

species is concerned) the computer (and by implication, I suppose, our

entire electro-mechanical infrastructure) it It's functional body. As you

might imagine he does not draw warm and fuzzy inferences from this

supposition. Our computer network is demonically possessed (to imitate a

headline writer for The World Weekly News). So, if your local library has a

copy of this book, a perusal of the last chapter (although the entire book

is worth one's attention) might lead you to some interesting conjectures

about what forces or agencies can inhabit the Internet, other than the evils

of spammers and trolls of course.

I will respond to the other questions of your letter of the 8th as soon as I

can.

best regards.

Subject: Re: Digest Number 192

Hello Professor;

Whereas the possibility of the dissolusion of this universe/timeline is

involved, I suspect that it will not happen, because of the following fact.

Our souls/consciousness are like grains which gather a "pearl" of third

density reality around it. So if one wants to destroy our reality/timeline

then they will have to destroy our souls, because I believe that

CONSCIOUSNESS is the building block of the various levels of the Omniverse.

The Montauk Project proved just how much CONSCIOUSNESS comes into play. In

other words, if our world is a VIRTUAL REALITY matrix, then our collective

souls would be the computer MAINFRAME that programs the virtual reality

matrix. I don't know if you have ever played the computer game DOOM, but if

you are killed in the game all you have to do is to start the game over,

because the monsters in that game cannot destroy the mainframe itself. I

hope that you are able to grasp where I am coming from.

Any responses to this idea that, as the Hindus say, we live in the "world of

illusion", and that there is a greater consciousness/reality beyond, would

be welcome.

Sincerely;

BRuce AlaN walTON

P.S. Just how does the communication between yourself and those on your

aboriginal timeline occur?

Dear Bruce, Nicky, et al,

A few weeks ago, I received a new communication from my 'contacts' (a woman

and two men) on my aboriginal world/time-line. I wish to take this occasion

to impart-for what it is worth-the following information.

I have, in those posts that the redoubtable Nicky recovered and consolidated

several months ago, written of the alleged 'artificiality' or

'unnaturalness' of this world/time-line. I have also commented upon the

fecund susceptibility of this cosmos to existential errosion which manifests

itself in, and is stimulated in turn by, literal paranormal phenomena. And

how the resulting ontological contradictions or incompatibilities will

eventually result in the dissolution of this world/time-line. A perusal of

the relevant digests will amplify upon and detail my remarks. Let me direct

your attention to those archives.

My handlers told me that what Vernor Vinge and others refer to as the

Singularity will trigger the aforementioned event. A bit of background

before you all bring up your search engine of choice. In the early 90's, the

science fiction writer, Vernor expropriated a term from astrophysics and

applied it to an impending and inexorable event. According to his-and

others- calculations, in the year 2035 (although, in the opinion of the

woman in the group, the year 2025) the ever accelerating climb of the

plotted curve of knowledge and technological implimentation of those

discoveries will become vertically ascendent. That point when the curve

becomes perpendicular Vinge called the Singularity. At that juncture, the

pace of change in innovation will become so rapid and unassimilatible that

the world as we knew it becomes unknowable and unpredictable. Although,

believe it or not, there are groups, such as the transhumanists and the

extopians, who salivate over this liberation from the fetters of history,

I'm afraid the sociological implications are very dire.

As any number of academic specialists in the asundry fields of personal and

collective psychology can tell you, when an individual or group is under the

pressure of the stress of unsuccessfully trying to adjust to a barrage of

unanticipated changes, they tend to have a nervous breakdown. My liasons

believe we, on this world/time-line, will be witnessing and/or experiencing

a catastrophic psycho-demographic collapse which will powerfully intensify

the aforementioned attrition of our existential stability. Now, let me

hasten to clarify, they aren't asserting that one second after midnight on

Jan. 1, 2035 (or whenever) the universe disappears in a puff of smoke-and

then the smoke disappears. It is one of those

a-journey-of-a-thousand-miles-begins-with-a-single-step sort of things. When

the Singularity occurs, the final irrevocable countdown starts.. How long it

take to reach zero is ours to guess. There is a further sub-text to this

phenomenon which I need to address latter. I just thought that someone might

want a heads-up.

sincerely,

Professor Phate
