On volcanoes from The Ultimate Reality, by Joseph H. Cater
List Members,
In the following, note the following:
"As we have just mentioned in relation to earthquakes, it is the soft particles concentrated along plates and fault lines which act as condensers, i.e., build up and store electricity/heat. This then, is one mechanism which contributes to the heating of rock and the production of lava."
And in the images of the Chilean volcanic eruption, you'll notice the lightening and electricity spewing out, too. Yes, particles from the Sun well up along fault lines and electrically heat the rock and turn it into lava. This is the basic idea.
Cater:
"The academic explanation for volcanic activity is somewhat vague. Since the temperature of molten lava disgorged by volcanoes is so great, the orthodox viewpoint is that the molten lava would have to originate at levels hundreds of miles below the surface. It has not been made clear how lava could find its way to the surface from such depths, since the Earth is supposedly a solid ball."
The Idea is that, in a solid Earth model, there would be such immense pressures at great depths that any opening for lava to flow through would be closed shut. And if the lava actually originated at the depths which they say, then it would cool by the time it reached the surface.
Mr. Cater attributes the heat which accounts for volcanic activity to the soft particles which penetrate the Earth much easier than regular photons. He tells us:
"This process [redistribution/penetration of low frequency particles] continues as the radiation from the Sun penetrates the Earth's crust. The lower frequencies are readily transformed into infrared radiations which produce increases in temperature. ... Most of the soft particles that disintegrate during this interval are comprised of photons below the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. As we have just mentioned in relation to earthquakes, it is the soft particles concentrated along plates and fault lines which act as condensers, i.e., build up and store electricity/heat. This then, is one mechanism which contributes to the heating of rock and the production of lava. Also, the book Etidorhpa explains that large deposits of sodium, which interact with water which overflows from underground lakes, are a major cause of volcanic activity. "

At the end of the Book, "The Hollow Earth", Rudy Rucker states that he did not
write the book but only edited a 19th century manuscript. Each of us gets

with Etidorpha.

Baltimore. From 1835 to 1836, he was editor of

Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. I first saw the manuscript there on March
7, 1985. It consists of 378 pages of parchment, handwritten in black ink. I have
edited The Hollow Earth from a notarized Xerox copy of the manuscript. The
Hollow Earth as my own creation, but I‟d be doing a big disservice to everyone.
The simple fact is: Every word of The Hollow Earth is true, and we must all
question our beliefs about the planet we live on. The Narrative of Mason
Reynolds grows out of the research I‟ve done over the past five years. I‟ve
traveled to Hardware, Lynchburg, Richmond, Norfolk, and Baltimore. Every single

documents. The Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond. Upon visiting the Poe
shrine there, I was able to examine the marriage bond of Edgar Poe and Virginia

reader can check many of these facts for him- or herself in any reliable
biography of Poe. The biography I know best is Arthur Hobson Quinn‟s beautiful
and meticulous book, Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography (New York:
Appleton-Century, 1941). his Poe does not, of course, correspond to what we know
of our own Poe, the one whom Mason calls MirrorPoe. But the information Mason
gives us about our Poe from September 27, 1849, through his burial on October 9,
1849, accords perfectly with what is known. Poe did take a steamboat from
Richmond to Baltimore on that September 27, and he was indeed found dying near a
polling place on October 3, dressed in cheap clothes.

i have previously read Poe and this book. i just saved
this one to my computer. thank you. i had to do poe's
bloody 'nevermore raven' for school memory work ;-))
except for a few dates and towns from poe's lifetime,
herein, with regards to the hollow earth, are you
suggesting any of these adventures are true ??
Nathanial Hawthorn's 'Celestial Railroad' is neat.

biography of Poe. The biography I know best is Arthur Hobson Quinn‟s beautiful
and meticulous book, Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography (New York:
Appleton-Century, 1941). his Poe does not, of course, correspond to what we know
of our own Poe, the one whom Mason calls MirrorPoe. But the information Mason
gives us about our Poe from September 27, 1849, through his burial on October 9,
1849, accords perfectly with what is known. Poe did take a steamboat from
Richmond to Baltimore on that September 27, and he was indeed found dying near a
polling place on October 3, dressed in cheap clothes.

3rd time shall be the charm:
Since I am guilty of the occasional science-fiction novel, I‟d better make clear
right away that The Hollow Earth: The Narrative of Mason Algiers Reynolds of
Virginia is an authentic nineteenth-century manuscript and was not written by
me. The original is available for inspection as catalog item *PS2964.S88S8 in
the Edgar Allan Poe Collection of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville,
Virginia. I first saw the manuscript there on March 7, 1985. It consists of 378
pages of parchment, handwritten in black ink. I have edited The Hollow Earth
from a notarized Xerox copy of the manuscript.
I‟m sure it would boost my desultory half career as an author to present The
Hollow Earth as my own creation, but I‟d be doing a big disservice to everyone.
The simple fact is: Every word of The Hollow Earth is true, and we must all
question our beliefs about the planet we live on.
My confidence in the legitimacy of The Narrative of Mason Reynolds grows out of
the research I‟ve done over the past five years. I‟ve traveled to Hardware,
Lynchburg, Richmond, Norfolk, and Baltimore. Every single thing I‟ve looked into
checks out completely, right down to the courthouse documents.
Simplest to confirm were the facts about E. A. Poe. In the years 1831-1833, Poe
lived in Mechanics‟Row on Wilks Street in Baltimore with Mrs. Clemm and
Virginia, next moving to a house on Amity Street in the western part of
Baltimore. From 1835 to 1836, he was editor of The Southern Literary Messenger
in Richmond. Upon visiting the Poe shrine there, I was able to examine the
marriage bond of Edgar Poe and Virginia Clemm, which is indeed dated Monday, May
16, 1836. At that time Eddie, Virginia, and Mrs. Clemm lived in a boardinghouse
on Bank Street at Capitol Square. The reader can check many of these facts for
him- or herself in any reliable biography of Poe. The biography I know best is
Arthur Hobson Quinn‟s beautiful and meticulous book, Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical
Biography (New York: Appleton-Century, 1941).
After the marriage, Mason‟s information about his Poe does not, of course,
correspond to what we know of our own Poe, the one whom Mason calls MirrorPoe.
But the information Mason gives us about our Poe from September 27, 1849,
through his burial on October 9, 1849, accords perfectly with what is known. Poe

At the end of the Book, "The Hollow Earth", Rudy Rucker states that he did not
write the book but only edited a 19th century manuscript. Each of us gets
to decide whether this story is a true-story or a fiction just as we have done
with Etidorpha.
