with the moon, around a common center of gravity, and move
with the entire solar system through your local star system at thirteen
miles per second? And does not your local star system move within the
Milky Way at the rate of two hundred miles per second, and does not
the Milky Way drift with respect to the remote external galaxies at the
rate of one hundred miles per second and in all different directions, and
does not your galaxy itself make a complete rotation about an axis
every two hundred million years? And does it not travel through space
with over a hundred billion other suns of its galactic family, not to
mention an untold number of other planets?"

Graham nodded meekly. "I knew our planet was in space. I just didn't
know all the details."
"Well," continued the being, "even if you mortals could travel at the
speed of light, it would still take you a hundred thousand years to cross
your galaxy from edge to edge."
The spaceman motioned toward the craft. "However, our ship could
visit the Andromeda galaxy, which is about two million one hundred
thousand light years from earth, and return before you could say
Stephen Hawking. I'd say that is a little bit faster than the speed of light.
We could not afford to waste two million years--actually, over four
million years round trip! We'd never get anything done."
"Now, wait just a minute," said Graham. "You can't go faster than the
speed of light. They told us in school that would be against the laws of
physics!"
"We learned long ago," replied the spaceman, "that the laws of physics
kept us very tightly bound until we found we could gain dominion over
those laws. You see, we earned that right over a long period of time.
Dominion over physical law requires a certain knowledge of science
beyond the physical as well as a working knowledge of the spiritual
laws. The two must work hand in hand. For example, your scientists
are working strictly from a physical perspective. They are totally
unaware that the atoms--the building blocks of matter--have a
counterpart of a higher frequency: one that falls outside of the realm of
what you would term physical. In any event, without that counterpart
the physical world as you know it could not exist.
"Now, I want to demonstrate to you the practical aspects of our
knowledge. Our spaceship is vibrating at the atomic rate of the
collective atoms that comprise the material makeup of said ship. Now,
as we observe the ship, I am going to concentrate on this counterpart of
the atom that your scientists might refer to as antimatter or antiparticle.
These antiparticles are what we would call the pure state of the atom.
You might say they are the inner core of the atom. You might even say
that they are the very soul of the atom, since they furnish the power that

maintains the motion of the atom. In any event, this is the medium we
work with. Incidentally, if you could observe the motion of this
counterpart to the atom, you would see that it is in constant motion as it
conveys its power to the atom. It turns incessantly upon its own axis,
spinning like a top. It is constantly pulsating, gyrating, and, I might
even say, dancing in a most beautiful manner.... I might tell you at this
point that the name we give to this wonderful animating force, is, quite
naturally, the anim. Now I am going to concentrate on the atomic
structure of our ship. I am going to raise the rate of vibration, or
frequency, of the individual atoms to the higher rate of the anim state.
As I do so, the ship will no longer be detected by your eye-to-brain
circuits. To your limited senses it will be completely invisible to you. It
is this little trick that plays havoc with the minds of your fellow mortals
that occasionally catch a glimpse of our ships in your skies, only to see
them disappear in an instant. Now, as I continue to concentrate, I am
projecting the ship to a certain coordinate: namely, a specific planetary
member of the galaxy Andromeda. This is done at the speed of thought,
which is instantaneous. There...." The starship vanished in less than a
blink. "Now it's back again!" the spaceman announced. And, indeed, it
truly was! "Well, what do you think?"
Of course, Graham was beside himself. He could not speak. "Wow!" he
said eventually. "Wow!"
"Naturally," continued the spaceman, "I had to lower the vibrations
again to re-manifest it into your reality. But it is this manner of
transportation that enables us to come and go as we please and, in
doing so, somewhat confuse your
