Robert Monroe's Locale II

[SAMEJACK MCKINNEY]

If you are a skeptic, proceed no further. Info provided by the Great,
and very credible researcher Robert Monroe.

The best introduction to Locale II is to suggest a room with a sign over
the door saying, "Please Check All Physical Concepts Here." If getting
accustomed to the idea of a Second Body(astral) was an uneasy
experience, Locale II may be hard to take. It is certain to produce
emotional effects as it steps solidly upon what we have accepted as
reality. Furthermore, many of our religious doctrines and the
interpretations thereof become open to question. It is enough to say
that only a small part of the visits into Locale II via the Second
body(astral) has provided evidential data, for these visits do not
easily lend themselves to proof. Therefore, much of the Locale II
material is cautious extrapolation. However, several hundred experiments
in this particular area have provided definite consistencies. If A plus
B equals C sixty-three times, there is a high order of probability that
A plus B will equal C the sixty-fourth time.

Postulate: Locale II is a non-material environment with laws of motion
and matter only remotely related to the physical world. It is an
immensity whose bounds are unknown, and has depth and dimension
incomprehensible to the finite, conscious mind. In this vastness lie all
of the aspects we attribute to heaven and hell, which are but part of
Locale II. It is inhabited, if that is the word, by entities with
various degrees of intelligence with whom communication is possible.

The fundamentals are altered in Locale II. Time, by the standards of the
physical world, is _nonexistent_. There is a sequence of events, a past
and a future, but no cyclical separation. Both continue to exist
coterminously with "now". Measurements, from microseconds to millennia,
are useless....

AS YOU THINK, SO YOU ARE

Superseding Locale ll appears to be one prime law. Locale II is a state
of being where that which we label _thought_ is the wellspring of
existence. It is a vital creative force that produces energy, assembles
"matter" into form, and provides channels of perception and
communication. I suspect that the very self or soul in Locale II is no
more than an organized vortex or warp in this fundamental. As you think,
so you are.
"Mere" thought is the force that supplies any need or desire, and what
you think is the matrix of your action, situation, and position in this
_greater_ reality. This is essentially the message that religious and
philosophy have been attempting to convey, through the ages, although
perhaps less bluntly and often distorted.

In locale II, reality is composed of our deepest desires and most
_frantic fears_. Thought is action, and no hiding layer of conditioning
or inhibition shield the inner you from others, where honesty is the
best policy because there can be nothing less. <P> Under the basic
standards described above, existence is indeed different. It is this
difference that creates the great problems of adjustments even when
attempting to visit there while in the second body. The _raw_ emotion so
carefully repressed in our physical civilization is unleashed in full
force. To say that it is overwhelming at first is a massive
understatement. In conscious physical life, this condition would be
considered psychotic. </b>
