2/23/59 Night The hole is populated! This evening (seven-thirty), I went through vibration and 180° rotation, and this time without much hesitation, I pulled myself through and stood up. I immediately felt myself in the presence of someone standing there. I sensed his presence rather than saw him (impres-siont male). For some unaccountable reason that I do not yet understand, even recollected now in tranquility, 1 dropped thankfully in front of him and sobbed. After a moment, I calmed down, carefully backed away, went through the hole, rotated back into the physical, and sat up. Who was it? And why did I act so emotionally? 2/27/59 Night Determined to find some more (or even one!) answers about the hole, I went through the vibration and 180° rotation pattern, and deliberately went through. It was still black and dark, but not unpleasant, no hands, no presence. I could feel something solid under me, so 1 tried very hard to open my eyes and "see." I did, and everything came into view. 1 was standing near a building (more like a barn than a house) on what was a wide, meadowlike area. I thought I would try to soar up into the sky (deep clear bluef no clouds), but I could not seem to get off the ground. Maybe I had weight here. There was what looked like a ladder a hundred feet or so away, and I went to it and realized it was a tower of some kind, about ten feet tall. Like a bird needing take-off room, I climbed the tower to the top, leaped away in take-off— and fell promptly to the ground with a solid thud! I guess I was surprised as a bird with clipped wings must feel. I got to my feet, and realized how foolishly I was acting. I was not following the proper procedures. Even "here," they had to be followed. I held up my hands and arms in the stretch-out position, and went up easily. I moved slowly over the meadow, enjoying the view and exploration, when suddenly something flew past me. 1 turned just in time to see it heading for the wall and the hole. I was afraid for some reason that this was something that would go through and try to enter my body, so I wheeled in flight and dove for the hole. Too late, I realized that what I thought was the hole was a window in the side of the building—and then I was through the window and in blackness. I felt around in the dark, and there was the outline of the hole. I went through, rotated, and sat up in the physical. Everything looked normal, and I was in the right place, the time passage was O.K., so back I went! Vibrations were still strong, so I rotated 180°, went through the hole and out into brightness. More observant this trip, 1 noticed two people, a man and a woman, sitting in chairs near the outside of the
