world.’ Here, the place you and I come from is called Telani, meaning ‘shadow.’ Obviously, there is a bias here because the ancient scholars decided that our world, Telani, or Earth if you prefer, was just a shadow of theirs. Who is to say? They may be right.
“In any case, the two worlds actually occupy the same physical space. Now, I think I need to figure out how to explain this adequately to you.”
Sam raised a hand to get the doctor’s attention and then interrupted. “Actually, I read your book and as much other information I could find on the internet about your work. There were even a few video clips I was able to locate. I think I have a pretty good understanding of vibrational energies and different vibrational planes.”
“Wonderful, wonderful,” Dr. Walt responded. “Well, then, that makes it easier. So, you understand that all matter is constantly vibrating, that the vibrations are part of the building blocks of everything, atoms and such. You also have read, no doubt, that ancient civilizations harnessed types of vibrational energies for healing, moving large objects, and other things, mundane and fantastic. Too, you are obviously familiar with how vibrations can be changed to phase things from our world to others, such as this one. Your very presence here is a testament to that.”
He noted Sam’s nod and took it as confirmation. “ok. Let’s say, for example, that our world, Telani, vibrates at a rate based on the number 1. So, for every one time unit, a vibration occurs. Good. Now, let’s say that this world, Gythe, vibrates at a rate based on the number 7. So, for every seven time units, a vibration occurs. In that case, the two worlds would only vibrate together every seven time units, correct? Though Telani vibrates every one unit, including the seventh, and Gythe only vibrates on the seventh, that would be the only time they vibrate together. At least until the 14 th time unit, and then the 21 st , and so on. Do you understand and agree with that?”
Sam’s nod was enough for Dr. Walt to continue.
“So then, with rates at one and seven, it is an easy thing to picture. Now suppose that these worlds, vibrating at different rates, could share the same physical space, but vibrating at different speeds, they would be in different dimensions. The only time they would overlap and form a conduit from world to world would be on each seventh time unit.”
Sam nodded thoughtfully. “I see. They are both here all the time, but vibrating differently, they aren’t seen or felt by those in the other world. Unless their vibrations coincide every seventh time cycle. But they would be overlapping often. Why don’t they?”
“Exactly right,” said Dr. Walt. “But we just used one and seven as an example. What if, taking another pair of random rates, the worlds vibrate at time units 29 and 195. In that case, they would only match up after 5655 time units have passed. What happens if the rates are orders of magnitude greater? Conceivably the worlds may only match their vibrations once in every few hundred or few thousand years. Can you see the complexity?”
“Wow, that could be a problem for me” Sam said sadly. “I don’t think I have a few thousand years to wait.” He was being ironic, but Dr. Walt apparently missed it and continued on.
“Indeed. There are many other factors, such as ley lines, the lines of power that criss-cross both worlds, and vortices, the places where these lines meet other lines, and other effects, but you have the gist of it now. I have been trying for 35 years to get back to Telani. To Earth. I have not been able to do so yet.”
Sam was puzzled. “Whoa! Wait a minute. You’ve only been gone thirteen years. I’m only twenty-seven years old and I saw you give the lecture when I was twelve. You disappeared a couple of years after that.”
Dr. Walt’s expression changed from confusion, to enlightenment, and then to sadness. “I hadn’t thought of that.
