I told him it is often very helpful to get these memories out D: Did these scientistshaveany way of growingfood of theirown? P: There was nothing on the planet to support natural growth. Imagine, if you will, a garden in the desert southwest It would be the same. The rocks and the land are barren, as barren as any you can imagine on this planet Earth. The area was full of min- erals however, and it was for this purpose that the scientists were a mm there. They were miners. D: You said "thirst or the equivalent." In otherwords, there weren't any fluids or liquids either? P: That is correct. Everything ran out-it would never have hap- pened if we had come on time. The ship which was to carry the supplies broke down shortly after leaving the port, which was a space port and not on the home planet. The problem was mas- sive, far-reaching. The malfunction was of such proportions that itcould notbe locally repaired "on the spot." Itwas necessary to return to facilitate the repairs. Itwas this return that caused the extreme delay. Because at this time we work on distances, as you on Earth do now. Our speed is much greater, however, so we can cover greater distances in less time. I'm speaking of terms of 1984, both in standards of time and distance. There is a neces- sity to integrate these two times, you see, because I am still the person I am here in thisroom. It becomes necessary to delineate or to explain the differences, because this is something I am-we are-learning. And that is that we are all of these things at once. This was a strange occurrence for me. [had never had a subject in regression be able to compare the time period he was watching with the present lifetime, unless they were in very light trance. In light states they find what they arc seeing confusing and often try to justify itor compare itto something they are familiar with. This does not happen in the deeper states, thus I was taken off-guard. Nor- mally when they are as deep into trance as Phil now was, the present ceases to exist for them.
