There is no clapping nor noise making here at the completion of these
speeches, but rather an intense feeling of joy and reverence and
oneness.
Now all at our table have risen and we are leaving this Temple of
Councils. We have stopped just outside the building to admire the
beauties we are able to see from here.
We must say that we have seen some beautiful and magnificent things
up to this point and we have used the word indescribable before, but
how we can describe what we are seeing here is puzzling us right now,
for the beauty of this city and its inhabitants excels anything and
everything we have thus far seen.
The people here seem to know what we are about to say before we say it.
If one doesn't want them to know what he is thinking, he had better
quit thinking, that is if he can do it. That is all we can say. They
not only know the human mind, but they are able to commune with all
other forms as well. They seem to be living by a feeling. That is
correct, for in response to our thought one of the men explains that
feeling is the universal language. This we have acknowledged before.
"This is the way it works," he tells us, which we can easily
understand. "Before you can express a thought, you must feel it
first. And let me explain this word 'feeling' just a little better,
what it might be like. It is sort of an alertness of what the thought
represents. For an example: you conceive a thought. That thought is
actually felt by you in the full representation of what it might be.
Then you give utterance to it, which is thought expressed of your own
language. And that is the way our people here are schooled. We feel
your thought as you feel it, the moment that you conceive it. In that
way we can commune with any and all forms, and distance as space is not
a barrier to it. For you see, a conscious thought travels fifty times
faster than light travels. In this way we don't have to do much sound
talking since we get each other's thought in the virgin state when
it is first conceived. This is why our city and everything about it,
including all of our people are beyond your power of word description.
For these are all a representation, more, they are all a virgin
thought, and since thought is felt, our expressing through the feeling
channel of which you men from Earth have such little understanding,
makes you feel that the buildings, the statues, in fact all of man's
creations on this planet are endowed with a feeling, almost as if they
were humans. In other words they are endowed with life that seems to be
emanating from them to you. This is easily understood since the thought
was a feeling and created as a feeling in creating that thought into
form."
