FAR JOURNEYS THE MYSTERY OF LOOSH FAR ' JOURNEYS THE MYSTERY LOOSH In one of his many out-of-body travels, visionary researcher Robert Monroe came across the story of Loosh cultivating and harvesting, and was shocked to discover how humans and our emotional energies may fit into the cosmic food chain. Editor's Note: Robert Monroe is regarded as a modern pioneer and explorer of the nonphysical realms using out-of-body or "astral" travel. His first book on the subject (Journeys out of the Body) was published in 1971, and Monroe treated it in quite a methodical and almost "geographical" manner. Obviously, out-of-body travel and exploration is not new to mankind, but this was the first time in our modern era that somebody had taken the time and effort to document the realms of nonphysical realities that "surround" our planet. As readers of his books already know, these realms are temporarily inhabited by all sorts of nonphysical beings—including many who are "in between" lifetimes on Earth, some who visit while out of body, and some who visit in the same manner as that of travellers on guided tours. Consider how we can enjoy a boat tour of the River Nile in Egypt, and disembark temporarily to view the wonders of ancient Egyptian temples and ruins. Each tourist has in their hands a travel brochure which describes the highlights and history of each destination. The extract you are about to read is the "travel brochure" description given to various nonphysical tourists who visit Earth while on their own cruise of curious sites of the omniverse. This extract picks up after a discussion between Monroe and one of these nonphysical "tourists" ("BB") results in Monroe asking to be shown how Earth is described in their travel brochure. However, these nonphysical brochures are not "read"; instead, they are “experienced” or "felt" or "witnessed". A couple of Monroe's terms in this extract need clarifying: "CLICK!" means “change consciousness", and "ident" signifies "a mental name or ‘address’. Note that this extract on Earth's "history and purpose" only takes you to the point where conscious, sentient, male and female humans come into existence. It does not describe the rise of civilisations or human history. LICK! Someone, Somewhere (or both, in millions, or uncountable) requires, likes, needs, values, collects, drinks, eats or uses as a drug (sic) a substance ident Loosh... This is a rare substance in Somewhere, and those who possess Loosh find it vital for whatever it is used for. Faced with this question of Supply and Demand (a universal law of Somewhere), Someone decided to produce it artificially, so to speak, rather than search for it in its "natural" form. He decided to build a Garden and grow Loosh. In the natural state, Loosh was found to originate from a series of vibrational actions in the carbon-oxygen cycle and the residue was Loosh in varying degrees of purity. It occurred only during such action, and secondarily during the reactive process. Prospectors from Somewhere ranged far and wide in search of Loosh sources, and new discoveries were hailed with much enthusiasm and reward. by Robert A.
