will be here for about a week more. We went up into the
foothills and once again I discovered the disadvantages
of being a sensitive because we passed an old Indian
encampment, the scene of a massacre, and the worse I
am in health the more psychic I become and at one stage
I had to close my eyes because I could see the Indians
and the battle raging. It was so vivid that it was, to me,
as plain as was the car in which I sat, and it is a frighten-
ing thing to go driving through a massacre.
Even Biggs, the driver, not claiming to be a sensitive ,
could still feel something as if his hair was standing on
end.
It was very pleasant, though, up in the higher ground
looking out across the city. But, like so many other cities
nowadays, the atmosphere is polluted. We have oil wells
all around Calgary and they spew fumes into the air day
and night. In my, ignorance I always marvel that the
fumes lie around the city. We are 3,500 feet above sea
level, the highest city in Canada, and I rather wondered
why the fumes didn't go rolling down to the Prairies.
Never mind, one day perhaps I shall know the reason,
91
but it is disheartening to look out and to see this ring of
brown fog all around the city.
Back from my tour into the foothills work again be-
cause the work must go on no matter what.
Before we go on answering the type of questions in
which you are mostly interested, let me answer a ques-
tion which is very frequently put to me: I just don't
understand this address of yours, BM/TLR, London,
England, doesn't seem much of an address to me. People
do not believe that that is a proper address and so they
engage in all manner of strange devices to make sure that
the Post Office authorities in England know that the
letter is meant for me. So I am going to take a little space
to give a free advertisement to a very fine firm.
Many, many years ago a man in England decided that
it would be a wonderful convenience for travelers and
others who did not want their address commonly known
to have an arrangement with the British Post Office
whereby he could have a general address which was
British Monomarks, London W.C.1, and any correspond-
ence bearing the BM would be sent to a firm which he
organized.
Then for a very modest sum he provided people with
what are called Monomark addresses. The cheapest type
are those which are allotted to one which could be, by
way of example, BM/1234. But if you want to use your
own initials you could do as I have done, my Monomark
is BM/TLR. Now, the BM stands for British Monomarks,
and when the Post Office sorters see the BM they know it
is for British Monomarks and, of course, the letter is then
delivered to British Monomarks. British Monomarks
know that the BM is their bit, and so they go by the
second bit TLR in this case. So they put TLR mail in a
box and about two or three times a week the mail is sent
92
on to me either by having sticky labels stuck over the BM
bit or by being packed in a big envelope, it depends on
what one wants.
There is another type of BM Monomark too, but that is
a BCM and that is for firms, it means a commercial
Monomark. Mine is a private type but if I was a big firm
I would have a British Commercial Monomark. In
twenty years I have not had a single complaint against
British Monomarks, and it is truly a matter of complete
amazement to me how carefully they deal with the mail
and how infallible they are. Just think, I get a vast
amount of mail from all over the world even from
Moscow! and Monomarks don't pinch the foreign
stamps off the envelopes and they don't make any mis-
takes, either. So if you want to find out more about them
all you have to do is to write to BCM/MONO, London
W.C.l, England, and they will give you all the informa-
tion you need. But I want to take this opportunity of
most sincerely congratulating the Monomark firm for the
absolutely wonderful service they give. Take my own
case; I move about, I have been to other countries and I
have been all around Canada, and yet all I have to do is
to write to Monomarks and tell them that as from such-
and-such a date please forward all mail to (my new ad-
dress) , and without any mistakes whatever the mail ar-
rives.
Let me tell you this, it's worth telling, or worth reading;
a little time ago there was a most unfortunate occurrence.
A lady of my acquaintance a friend of mine had a
little nerve trouble and, I suppose, she was worried about
the troubles I was having with the press. So she wrote to
British Monomarks and told them to send all my mail to
her address. She made it appear that it was a definite
request from me.
93
British Monomarks are truly an experienced firm. They
did not take her at her word, they were not deluded . . .
they wrote to me to see what my instructions were. Well,
I nearly blew a fuse, but then I calmed down and real-
ized that you don't just throw over a friend for a little
mistake caused perhaps by nerve strain, so I told Mono-
marks to send my mail on to me as before. Really I
cannot praise them too highly. You may think I am
going overboard about them, but that is not so at all.
One's mail is important, and it is vital to all of us that we
can absolutely depend on those who forward our mail.
You CAN depend on Monomarks! So-thank you, ladies
and gentlemen of the Monomark Staff.
Mrs. Rouse alias Buttercup tells me I look like Doc
of the Seven Dwarfs when I am getting ready for work.
Well, I am not sure she doesn't really mean Dopey, but
anyway I suppose I do look a queer old fellow stuck in a
wheelchair surrounded by masses of letters containing
even more masses of questions. Never mind, I have been
asked to write this book, and I am writing the thing in
spite of feeling like something the cat brought in-and
left behind in a hurry. So let's get on with our questions
and answers, shall we?
Oh glory be, oh glory be I've let myself in for some-
thing now! Here is the first question which I have just
picked up, so you'd better sit back and polish up your
glasses if you wear the things, and get a load of this:
Considering we are three dimensional beings evolving
(hopefully) into the fourth dimension, it follows logically
that we came from a second dimension and before that a
first. The first question is, is this digression true, and if so
what were we before the first dimension, and what
spiritual attainment did we need to advance. Now, to
further complicate things, if the first and second do not
94
exist in our evolution as we theorized before then where
do we originate from before the third dimension!?
Now, I hope your head is not going around as much as
mine is because actually this is true enough, you know,
we do evolve from a one dimensional being. Consider,
