In other words, we would never be sure where we would be when the elevator stopped. D: You saidthey are arrivingand departing? I'm thinking ofa station, a depot, oranairportterminal Is itsomething like that? P: A welcoming, staging area where arriving members of other planet's royalty are greeted and shown the proper courtesies due the persons in that position. After the arrival, they would then travel to whatever appropriate area they had come to visit For instance, commercial or governmental or scientific installations would then receive them for their intended purposes. To illus- trate the difference here, an arriving dignitary in your capital city of Washington would not arrive by subway. The President would not greet an arriving dignitary on the subway or by taxi.

There is room in or around for such arrivals and departures. Is this stagingareaon a certainplanet? It is on this planet, yes. On a certain place on this planet.

The planet we are speaking of, do you know about where it would be located? P: Ifyou can imagine seeing your Milky Way galaxy from above, and the spiral arm in which your solar system resides being, from your perspective, below and somewhat forward and to the left of you from your vantage point Then this planet would be behind and above your right shoulder, in that direction, looking flat down on your spiral galaxy, such that the spiral motion is clockwise. It was difficult for me to follow this description, but research revealed that our Milky Way galaxy is indeed a spiral galaxy composed 174 The Keepers of the Garden
