Blog 3, natural science
Charles and I have been so thrilled recently to make contact with our old associate, Alfred Wallace, who has such an influence on C’s career. We have been exchanging celestial messages (see the separate comments) but I really felt that I wanted to communicate this development with all our other friends and associates. This medium of cyberspace is proving such a remarkable way of reconnecting with people who had a place in our lives, and indeed with people who we never knew on earth since they lived in different eras, but who nevertheless had so much in common with Charles and his work, and indeed who had an influence on his fame and reputation long after his death. Such a one of course was Albert #Einstein who, as I mentioned in my last ‘blog’, has been conversing with C on all matters scientific. Indeed I believe he has been explaining to my husband how it can be that we are all able to communicate via this extraordinary medium long after we have departed earthly realms. It is all something to do with Albert’s strange Theory of Relativity, which I cannot comprehend myself, but which I am assured explains how all things can exist within different time frames. Remarkable though it may seem, and despite the fact that on earth our lives were all dictated by the tyrannical ticking of clocks and watches, here in the outer dimensions of the universe no such limitations apply. Apparently the faster one moves through the ether the slower one’s own timescale unfolds, until one reaches the speed of light (whatever that may be – how can light have a speed, I ask myself?) when time ceases to exist altogether! Clarifying perhaps how we may actually attain eternal life after all. It is all way above my head, but C assures me that he believes there may be a considerable amount of truth in the theory, and it would explain many of the obscure mysteries of life which so preoccupied intelligent people during our time on earth.
Still, I am glad he is still finding things to occupy his extraordinary mind, and also when he is freed from the debilitating sickness which so burdened his terrestrial days. For myself I hear that the discovery of my private journal has indeed been broadcast to the world and its contents circulated to all and sundry, which I have to say causes me great disquiet. I am told the story of its hunting down and exposing in the early twenty first century makes quite a fascinating tale, recorded by various publications. Ah well, I am far beyond the effects of such concerns, and so must let the matter take its course. I will, though, be interested to know the outcome of such revelations within our old sphere of existence.
