It is not known from the experiments to date whether everyone who dies automatically "goes" to Locale two . Also, there is no present evidential material to indicate that the presence of a human personality in Locale two is permanent. It may be that, like an eddy or vortex, we gradually lose energy and eventually dissipate into the Locale two medium once we leave Locale one (Here-Now). It is conceivable that the result of this process would grant recognition of immortality in that we survive the grave, but not forever. Perhaps the stronger the formation of personality, the longer the "life" in this different state of being. Thus it could be that survival is both reality and illusion. The scope of Locale two seems limitless. Under the conditions encountered thus far, there seem to be no means to measure or calculate the breadth and depth of this strange familiar place. Movement from section to section is too instantaneous to allow any estimates or to observe relative spatial positions of one area to another. As far as can be ascertained, there is no conjunctive relationship between places in Locale two and this physical universe. They may or may not coincide, site to site. Certainly, this non-material realm does not have as its center the earth upon which we live. Rather, it would seem that one very small portion envelops our physical world and thus is our "port of entry." At this stage, I believe it impossible for human consciousness to comprehend fully the reality of Locale two . It would be like asking a computer to work on an analogue for which it has not been programmed. Consciousness as we have developed it to date is not prepared for this kind of comprehension. That is not to say, however, that such consciousness cannot or will not be forthcoming. By training in now obscure or yet-to-be formulated techniques, consciousness might well be deepened or expanded to recognize and accept this reality. On the other hand, I am quite sure that the subconscious, unconscious, superconscious, superego, soul—or whatever our non-material nonconsciousness is called—is generally quite aware of and familiar with Locale II. How much this awareness affects our conscious thought has been contemplated by our most revered philosophers. Many suggest that it dominates our waking actions. The records of the experiments seem to bear this out. We are masters of ourselves, but not at the conscious level. Our actions in Locale two may have forceful bearing on our daily activities, completely unrecognized by the conscious self. There are literally hundreds of pages of experimental notes relating to Locale II visits, most of which are still beyond translation into Locale one thought
