Rampa's words on the hollow Earth
This is an excerpt from one of the Lobsang Rampa books by the title of "Twilight". He speaks about the hollow Earth here. Gary

(excerpt)
....this man writes ques-
tions on a subject which will come much to the forefront
in the near future it might be worth looking into the
matter. Now, this is what he says—in substance, of
course, because his letter is no literate work at all; the
way he writes he might never have been to school.
He says, in effect, “A lot of people think there may be a
world inside this world. The world may be hollow. What
have you got to say about that? You claim to know a lot
about religion. How come you never mention such a
thing? How come no religious book ever mentions such a
thing?”
Well, he is wrong enough there because the religion or
belief in which I am most informed (Buddhism) does
indeed refer to an Inner World. There is a special word
for it. It is called “Agharta.” It is a word very frequently
used in Buddhist Scripture, in fact in Tibetan lore there is
much mention made of Shamballa where the King of all
the world lives, the King who is hidden from the millions
on the surface of the world.
Tibetans firmly believe in the King of the world living
inside the world, not as some sort of demon but as an
extremely good King, a good spiritual ruler who is alive
in two planes at once, the physical plane where he lives
forever and ever, and the spiritual, or astral, plane where
similarly he lives forever and ever.
Tibetans believe that the King of the world gave his
first instructions to the first Dalai Lama and the Dalai
Lama was, in fact, the outer world representative of the
inner world King.
Certainly there are tunnels in Tibet which go deeper
and deeper and deeper, and there are many legends
about strange people coming up through those tunnels
20
and holding converse with Lamas of high degree. As I
have written in some of my books I have been in some of
those tunnels, and I have also been in some of those
tunnels in Ultima Thule. There are certain places in the
Earth where it is possible for the Initiate to travel down
into the centre of the Earth and meet representatives of that inner civilization, and among quite a number of people there is a definite knowledge that people from the inner world do come out to converse with those on the
surface. Actually, of course, some of the U.F.O.'s come
from this inner world.
There are, then, tunnels from Tibet to the inner world and tunnels from Brazil to the inner world. Brazil and Tibet are two vitally important parts of the outer world
which have a special attraction for the Inner People.
It is a most unfortunate thing that there are so many
superstitious beliefs which have never been properly in-
vestigated because it is known to a few “sensitives” that
there is a tunnel beneath the Greater Pyramids. Now, by
Pyramid I am not referring exclusively to the Pyramids in
Egypt, there are many more than that. All these Pyra-
mids used to be marker beacons sending messages to the
Gardeners of the Earth and their representatives who
traverse space in their spaceships. There are Pyramids in
Egypt and in certain parts of South America, also there
are very important Pyramids in the Gobi Desert but the
Gobi Desert, being controlled by Communist China now-
adays, not so much is known about that to the outside
world. All these Pyramids are connected to the inner
world, and in the days of the Pharaohs many of the
magical rites of Egypt were conducted by people who
came up out of their inner world specifically for that
purpose.
But, to get back to basics again, according to the Bud-
21
dhist religious books there were vast convulsions upon
the Earth and the climates of the countries of the Earth
changed and changed and changed, and as they changed
tribes of people were driven from cold zones into warmer
zones and during one such excursion about 25,000 years
ago—a tribe of people emerged on to what would now
be called the North Pole. They kept on walking and
walking and eventually they found that they had the sun
always ahead of them, never behind, never rising or set-
ting. Eventually in course of time they found that they
were inside the Earth, they found that the Earth was
hollow and they settled there. It is thought, too—I should
have put this in brackets!—that all the Gypsies came
from inside the Earth.
I have heard many people discussing a hollow Earth
and the opponents of the theory always say “Well, if
there is a hollow Earth how is it that commercial airlines
which fly over the North Pole do not see the opening;
commercial planes nowadays do indeed fly over the
North Pole and perhaps the South Pole, too, and if there
was a big opening in the Earth then obviously the pilots
would see such an opening.”
That is not true, you know. Commercial airlines do not
fly over the North Pole, nor do they fly over the South
Pole; they fly quite a distance away for the simple reason
that if they did indeed fly over the Poles it would inter-
fere very seriously with their navigational instruments,
and so commercial flights are always routed so that the
mythical North or South Pole is avoided by many, many
miles and thus interference with the compasses also is
obviated.
Then there are others who say, “Well, all these ex-
plorers who have been to the North Pole or to the South
Pole, if there had been a hole in the Earth they would
22
have found that hole.” But then again, no, it's not true, no
one has been to the North Pole, no one has been to the
South Pole. We get reports of people who have got some-
where near such-and-such a Pole and have gone on for
many miles, in other words they have been more or less
lost. Ancient history, and modern history too, teaches us
that often sailors will spot debris floating from the Poles
(I use “Poles” just to conform and make the location
obvious ). There are also floating animals or birds. Now,
everyone knows that you don't get birds and insects flying
at the North Pole or the South Pole, you don't get green
leaves floating, so where do they come from? From inside
the Earth, of course.
I believe this; supposing one had a vehicle and one
could journey from here—wherever you are at the mo-
ment is “here”—to the North Pole you would go on and
on and you would reach what you would believe to be
the location of the North Pole, and then you would con-
tinue on and eventually you would find yourself with a
different sort of sun above you. The sun being an atomic
sort of thing occurring naturally not merely in the centre
of this Earth but in many other worlds as well. Astrono-
mers have found that on the Moon, for instance, there
are strange lights seen at times about the Poles. You
might say, “Oh yes, but men have been to the Moon.”
Sure they have, but they have been to a very limited spot
on the Moon, a spot, a circle, of about five miles radius.
Oh no, they haven't explored the Moon, and they haven't
explored this Earth. There is quite a lot of this Earth
which still has to be explored.
If you are interested and if you go to your Public Li-
brary I am sure you can find many books dealing with an
inner Earth and stories of people who have been lost and
then have sailed on into a strange world, and eventually
23
they have found themselves just inside the inner world.
Better than the Library, buy some books at a good book-
store.
People have asked me to explain whatever such a
world could look like, how can there be a world which is
hollow inside? The best way I can explain it is like this:—
Imagine you have a coconut. The outside of the
coconut is the outer Earth. And remember this, that if
your hands are hot the moisture which you have de-
posited on the outside of the coconut in merely touching
it is equal to the depth of the deepest sea on this, the full
size Earth. That's a thought worth bearing in mind.
Anyway, you've got your coconut and you are looking
at the outer side of it. That represents our conventional
Earth. Now, make a hole in the part known as the eyes,
and make another hole in the part right opposite the
eyes. You can liken these to the North and the South
Poles. You should make the hole about an inch in diam-
eter and let out all the milk. Then you have the outer
hard shell which is the crust of the Earth, and inside you
have the white flesh of the coconut which represents the
inner world surface. Right in the middle of the coconut
you have to somehow fix a flashlight bulb to represent the
ever-burning inner sun.
Now—the hard shell which is the crust and the softer
inner side which provides footing for inner worlders pro-
vides, also, the source of gravity which keeps people feet
down, on the upper surface and feet down on the inner
surface. There is no evidence whatever that the inner
surface of the Earth is molten gas or molten iron or
molten rock or molten anything else. That has just been a
supposition of “scientists” who have made many other
false suppositions like when they said that if a man
travelled at more than 30 miles an hour his lungs would
24
burst with the air pressure. And like when they said that
it would be impossible for any spaceship to land on the
Moon because it would sink right into the impalpable
dust. Oh no, scientists are merely guessers with a Univer-
sity education. Often they are worse guessers than people
without a University education because scientists are
taught that if this person or that person says a thing is
impossible then it is indeed impossible, and so instead of
being taught to think they are just being taught to think
that Author so-and-so is infallible and if he says a thing
is impossible then indeed it is.
I believe that people inside the Earth are very, very
highly evolved people indeed who are remnants from
Lemuria, Mu, Atlantis, and many even older civilizations.
The Earth has been wracked by cataclysms, storms,
meteors and all the rest of it, and often people on the
surface have been decimated yet inside life goes on
serenely, untroubled by things that are happening out-
side and so spirituality and scientific knowledge has pro-
gressed.
You may not be aware that the Chileans, who have a
great interest in the South Pole areas, have photographed
U.F.O’s rising out of that territory. Most interesting pic-
tures were taken by a geophysical team of Chilean scien-
tists. Unfortunately, under considerable pressure, those
photographs were turned over to the U.S.A. authorities . . .
and that is the last that has been heard of them.
U.F.O.'s are of different types, but one type comes
from inside the Earth, and there are many U.F.O’s seen
nowadays because the Inner People are greatly worried
by the atomic explosions taking part on the outer surface
of the Earth. After all, if the explosion is big enough then
perhaps the crust of the Earth will be cracked even worse
than it is at present and the whole Earth will perish. That
25
is why the Inner People are so concerned, why they are
trying to control atomic research on this world.
Have you really studied the journeys of explorers who
claim they have been to the North Pole or to the South
Pole? Without any exception they report that they found
the temperature rising as they travelled north, they found
more open seas, than they expected, they found many
things which were completely at variance with the North
Pole or South Pole theory where things got colder and
colder as the Poles were approached. Actually the Poles
do not exist except as some mythical symbol up in the air,
perhaps in the centre of the opening leading into the
Earth.
The aurora borealis could easily be the reflections from
the inner sun when conditions are suitable, or they could
even be radiations from the nuclear life within your
world.
But someone is sure to say all this is impossible, of
course there is no hole leading into the Earth, the idea is
absurd—ridiculous. If there was a whacking great hole at
the North Pole and another at the South Pole then ob-
viously air pilots would have seen them, astronauts would
have seen the holes also, and in fact anyone looking
would be able to see right through the Earth just the
same as one can see daylight through the other end of a
blown egg. No, someone is sure to say, this author has
gone round the bend at last . . . if he didn't go round
years ago. That attitude is all wrong, you know. It shows that the
person doesn't know the facts. How many of you have
been to the North Pole? How many of you have been to
the South Pole? How many of you know climatic condi-
tions there? What about cloud coverage, for example?
What about viewing conditions? No, Critical Reader, I
26
haven't gone round the bend—you have if you think that
all this is impossible; if you think all this is impossible
then you are not merely around the bend, you are canter-
ing along the home straight which is a darn sight worse.
Think how in well populated areas great caves have
remained hidden for hundreds or thousands of years.
Look at the cave in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were
found. That cave was only found completely by accident.
Look at Canada. Great areas of Quebec have not been
explored. And supposing a plane flew over certain of
these areas in Quebec which would be covered with ice
most of the year, then photographs might show reflec-
tions precisely as it should show reflections from snow
and ice. Or the photographs may show dark patches pre-
cisely as they could show dark patches of snow and ice.
Ice can be of many different colours, you know, it is not
all white and tinselly like you put on Christmas trees.
You can even get red snow in certain areas; I know that
because I have seen it. But the whole point is that a
photograph taken over the approximate location of the
North Pole or the South Pole might show strange
shadows, but if people had no reason to investigate the
shadows then they wouldn't go there and probe, would
they? It takes a lot of money too to mount an expedition
to the mythical North Pole or the equally mythical South
Pole. It takes a lot of money, it takes a special breed of
man, it takes a lot of back-up supplies, and it takes a big
bank account to pay the insurance!
But back to Canada; many, many areas in the Northern
Territories have not been explored. Some areas have
never even been seen by humans. How do you know
what holes there are in the Northern Territories when no
one has been there? It is stupid to say these things are
27
impossible until you know all the facts, until you are an
expert in photography, until you are an expert in geology.
Think of astronauts or cosmonauts, or whatever the
current term for them is; well, then they are taking off
and are reasonably close to the Earth presumably they
have something else to do besides look for a hole where
the North pole or South Pole should be, and in the Polar
regions the viewing is often horribly unsatisfactory, fogs,
snow-storms, confusing reflections from snow, ice and
water. It's worth noticing also that when astronauts are in
orbit they have specific tasks to do, taking a peep at the
Russians, taking an even harder look at the Chinese. Are
there telltale shadows which indicate that silos have been
erected which could be the starting point of inter-
continental ballistic missiles? And if so, in which direc-
tion are the silos inclined? By knowing things like this the
Americans can tell if the war lords of Peking have rockets
aimed at New York or Los Angeles, or somewhere else.
They have to take into account the degree of inclination
and the rotation of the Earth so that they can then fore-
cast to within just a few miles the target area of the
I.C.B.M's. The Americans are much more interested in
knowing what the Russians, the Poles, the Chinese and
the Czechs are doing than finding out something about a
hole in the Earth. Some of the Americans, for instance,
would be more interested in checking a hole in the head
than a hole in the Earth!
So you can take it that unless there are very special
conditions and very special circumstances these particu-
lar openings in the Earth would not be photographed,
and as for thinking that you could look in one end and
see out through the other just as you would through a
straight railway tunnel—well, that idea is crazy, You
couldn't do it. Think of a railway tunnel absolutely dead
28
straight. You look in one end and if you are very, very
careful you might possibly see a little dot of light at the
other end, and that railway tunnel may be not even half
a mile long. We, if we were looking through a hole in the
Earth, would have to look at something which was
nearly eight thousand miles long. That is, the tunnel
through which you would be looking (through the
Earth) would be so long that you just wouldn't see any
light at the other end. Not only that but even if you had
such good sight that you could see all the way through
and distinguish a small hole, then you would still be look-
ing at darkness because unless the sun was opposite you
would have no light-reflection, would you?
If you are going to deny the POSSIBILITY of there
being a hollow Earth then you are just as bad as the
people who think that the world is flat! In passing I
wonder how the “Flat-Earth Society” in London, Eng-
land, explains some of the astronauts' photographs now.
As far as I am aware there is still a society in England
who swear on a stack of comics (must be comics!) that
the world is flat and all the photographs have been faked.
I read something about it and had a good laugh, and I
wish I could remember where I read the article. Any-
way, if you are not sure why not keep an open mind then
you won't be caught short when the proof is forthcoming?
There is another thing you have to consider; the Gov-
ernments of the world, or rather the Governments of the
super powers, are nearly killing themselves to hush up
everything about U.F.O.’s. Why? Millions of people have
seen U.F.O.’s. I was reading an article only yesterday in
which it was said that statistics prove that 15 million Americans have seen U.F.O's. So if 15 million in one
country alone have seen them then it's a sure thing that
29
there must be something like U.F.O.'s. Argentina, Chile,
and other sensible countries acknowledge the existence of
U.F.O.'s. They don't necessarily understand what they
are or why they are, but they acknowledge them and that
is a big step forward.
The Governments hush up and conceal all the truth
about U.F.O.'s; now—supposing the American Govern-
ment, for example, bad photographs of U.F.O.'s entering
or leaving the Earth,, supposing they had definite proof
that the Earth was hollow and that there was a high
civilization within, then quite without a doubt the Gov-
ernments would try to conceal knowledge of the truth or
people would panic, start looting, commit suicide, and do
all the strange things that humans do when they panic.
We have only to remember the Orson Wells—Raiders
from Mars—radio broadcast of a few years ago when
Americans really did most thoroughly panic in spite of
being told by the announcers that it was only a play.
So—the Governments conceal the truth because they
are afraid of panic. But perhaps in the not too distant
future they will have to admit the truth, the truth being
that there is a hollow Earth and a highly intelligent race
within that hollow Earth, and that one form of U.F:O.
comes from inside the hollow Earth. Mind you there is
more than one type of U.F.O. One type comes from
“outer space”, another type comes from “inner space”,
that is, the inner side of the Earth.
But again, supposing you say, “I still say the fellow's
crazy because there wouldn't be any room for a civiliza-
tion inside the Earth.” Well sir or madam, as the case
may be, that implies that YOU haven't done your home-
work Let's have a look at some figures. I am not going to
quote exact figures or someone is sure to say, “Oh look at
him, now we know that he's a fraud, he's 6 inches short in
30
the diameter of the world!” Oh yes, Loving Reader,
people do write and say such things, and they think
themselves very clever. But anyway, let's have some
rough figures.
Now, the diameter of the Earth is roughly seven thou-
sand nine hundred and twenty-seven miles. Now, sup-
posing we say (we've got to give some figures, haven't
we?) that the thickness of the crust of the Earth on the
Earth side and the thickness of the “soil” side of the inner
Earth comes to eight hundred miles. Well, if you add
those two eight hundred's together you get one thousand
six hundred, and if you subtract that from seven thousand
nine hundred and twenty-seven you get six thousand
three hundred and twenty-seven miles. That, then, we
can say is very, very approximately the diameter of the
world inside this world.
That means that the inner world is (again roughly) 2.9
times larger than the Moon, so that if somehow you could
get the Moon inside the Earth the poor wretched thing
would rattle around like the pea inside a referee's whistle.
The diameter of the Moon, remember, is roughly two
thousand one hundred and sixty miles, and the estimated
diameter of the world inside this Earth is, we decided, six
thousand three hundred and twenty-seven miles. So now
YOU do some arithmetic for a change. I'm right, aren't
I?
Another point of interest is this; only an eighth of the
surface of the world is land, seven-eighths is water—seas,
oceans, lakes, and all that, so it could easily be that there
is more land INSIDE the world than outside, and if there
is more land inside then there could be more people in-
side. Or if they regularly take “the Pill” they may have
bred for quality rather than quantity.
I believe all this, you know, I have believed it for
31
years, and I have studied it very, very thoroughly. I have
read all I could about it, and if you do the same then
without a doubt you will come to the same conclusion
that I have which is that there is another world inside
this Earth of ours, that it is 2.9 times the size of the Moon, and that it is populated by a very intelligent race.
Another thing of interest is this; Look at all the ex-
plorers who have been “to the Pole”. None of them has
ever PROVED that he got there. Think of Admiral Peary,
think of Wilkinson, Amundsen, Shackleton, Scott, etc.,
etc. All these men who, in theory went there by water or
went there on foot or who flew to the area—not one of
them ever truly, demonstrably proved that he had
reached the Pole itself. I believe they couldn't because
“the Pole” is a remote area somewhere in space above the
surface, and, as has been proved, the location varies quite
a lot. So there it is....
