- The philosopher Plato gave us many revealing glimpses as to the true nature of the Earth and its secret Kingdoms
Full Report:
One of our greatest philosophers, Plato, who lived from 427 to 347 B.C.E., was very much aware of the concept of a multi-dimensional Earth, and in his work The Phaedro he offered many revealing descriptions.
He distinguished between two types of space—topos, or physical space, from which you get the word “topography,” and chora, or space that can only be perceived by “dreaming with your eyes open,” or seeing the Outer World through the view of Inner World realities. Here is some of what Plato had to share:
There are many wonderful regions [in the Greek, dimensions would be a better translation] in the earth, and the earth itself is as pure as the starry heaven in which it lies, and which is called aether [that is, composed of etheric structures throughout].
We do not realize that we are living in its hollows [dimensions], but assume we are living on the earth’s surface [only in three-dimensional space]. If someone could put up his head he would see the world above, just as fishes see our world when they put up their heads out of the sea. And if his nature were able to bear the sight, he would recognize that that is the true heaven and the true light and the true earth.
For this earth and its stones and all the regions in which we live [the physical earth] are plain and ordinary. But the things above [in other dimensions] excel those of our world to a degree far greater still.
The real earth, viewed from above, is supposed to look like one of these balls made of twelve pieces of skin [the Dodecahedron grid of the old planetary grid system] variegated and marked out in different colors [or auric fields of the globe], of which the colors which we know are only limited examples, like the paints which artists use, but there the whole earth is made up of such colors, and others far brighter and purer still [Here the philosopher is describing the Astral or Devic Kingdom, whose language is Color].
One section is marvelously beautiful purple, and another is golden [colors of the higher Astral Spectrum]. All that is white of it is whiter than chalk or snow, and the rest is similarly made up of the other colors, still more and lovelier than those which we have seen [the colors of the physical world, which are only dim reflections of the Astral-Auric Colors of the Devic Kingdom].
These very hollows of the earth [that is, multi-dimensional spaces] assume a kind of color as they gleam amid the different hues around them, so that there appears to be one continuous surface of varied colors [an excellent description of the Astral or Devic Kingdom as perceived through the Child Self eyes].
The trees and flowers and fruits which grow upon this earth are proportionally beautiful [surrounded by auric colors].
The mountains too and the stones have a proportionate smoothness and transparency, and their colors are lovelier [Plato begins to depict the gem-like etheric structures that are part of the Spiritual level within the Angelic Kingdom]. The stones which are so highly prized in our world—the jaspers and rubies and emeralds and the rest—are fragments of these greater gems, but there everything is as beautiful as they are, or better still. These stones are in their natural state [they are part of the structure of the planet]. The earth itself is adorned not only with all these gems but also with gold and silver [we may be reminded here of John’s description of the New Jerusalem having foundation gemstones and “streets of gold”] as well as other metals, for many rich veins [that is, lattice lines and facets] occur in all parts of the earth, in plain view, to be seen by the eyes of the blessed [those who are in a spiritual state of perception].
[The philosopher now returns to a description of the Astral or Devic Kingdom, with its Animal Spirit Allies and other Nature Spirit Beings]. There are many kinds of animals upon it, and also human [discarnate] beings, some of whom live on land, others round the air, as we live round the sea. In a word, as water and the sea are to us for our purposes, so the aether [astral] is to them. In sight and hearing and understanding and in all other faculties they are as far superior to us as air is to water or aether to air in clarity.
They also have sanctuaries and temples [sacred places extended into the Astral level] which are truly inhabited by gods, and oracles and prophecies and visions and all other kinds of communion with the gods occur there face to face [as takes place during a shamanic journey]. They see the sun and moon and stars as they really are [as living, intelligent entities], as well as the rest, and their happiness [astral-emotional state] is of this manner.
In the earth, all over its surface, three are many hollow regions [multi-dimensions], some deeper and more widely spread than that in which we live, some deeper, others shallower than ours [that is, existing all around us].
All these are joined together by many connection channels [doorways and gateways], through which flow the elements of water, fire, and the rest [Plato has now turned his attention to the Karmic-Soul or Elemental Kingdom]. All this movement to and fro causes an oscillation [vibratory frequency] inside the earth, brought about by natural means [the language of the Elemental Kingdom is Sound or Vibration].
Might streams [Crystal grid lines] conjoin in many places together in threes and fours [at specific node points within the old Tetra, Octa, Cube, Icosa and Dodeca Crystal grids], circling the earth and winding around inside the earth, and in their transformations sometimes causing the issuance of water or fire in certain regions [earth changes triggered by Crystal grid evolution].
These mighty streams [Crystal grid lines] form great circles, flowing through many regions [on the surface], but also passing underground, even to where the souls of the dead for the most part come, and after staying there for certain fixed periods, are sent forth again to be born as living beings [the Karmic-Soul level for the planet is where the discarnate members of the Human Kingdom enter a period of self-evaluation before entering the Spiritual realm to prepare for reincarnation].
Here is where the newly dead reach the place to which each is conducted by his guardian spirit, and are first submitted to judgment. There they dwell, and undergoing purification are both absolved from their sins and rewarded for their good deeds, according to each man’s deserts [karmic choices].
Those who are judged to have lived a life of surpassing holiness, these are they who are released and set free from confinement in these regions of the earth, and passing upward to their pure abode [the Spiritual realm of the Angelic Kingdom], make their dwelling upon the earth’s surface [return to incarnation as physical teachers].
And of these such as have purified themselves sufficiently by philosophy live thereafter altogether without bodies [that is, move into the Transcendent Realm of the Creator Beings], and reach habitations [higher dimensions] even more beautiful which it is not easy to portray. By attaining during life a measure of goodness and wisdom, the prize is glorious and the hope is great.
