The Law of Vibration

In the Twentieth Plane—A Psychic Revelation, Keats is reported as saying that only the first five planes revolve with the earth. This was not the whole story of the planes and their relations to each other and to the earth. Coleridge gives this further interesting information—

The planes rotate in ever-increasing speed as the circle widens. That is, we travel through space like you, only about three thousand times faster. Hence all vibration is increased on this plane through a law of interdependent action.

Does the extra speed increase the vibration?

Up, down, across, all around.

The law of vibration as understood on the Twentieth Plane receives further illumination from the following explanation by Coleridge—

In the cosmos, all is vibration, either slow or fast. Now some forces operate to retard, others to accelerate the flow of vibrations from a central source. On the Twentieth Plane, the almost incomprehensible speed of vibration delivered from the central source encounters less obstruction to retard its speed than in the denser matter of your plane.

We are told that the Twentieth Plane is 500 miles above the earth, and that it revolves much faster than the fifth which is on the earth's surface. Can you tell us in what direction it revolves? Is it from west to east as ours or from north to south?

Between the two.

Somewhat like our ecliptic?

Yes.

On more general matters, Ingersoll gave the following brief answers, which were comprehensive because of the nature of the questions. 

Is Bergson right in his theory that the Universe is universal life or consciousness ever becoming?

Yes.

Am I right in thinking that we enjoy heaven in proportion as we harmonise with universal laws, and suffer hell as we fail so to harmonise?

Yes. Heaven is harmony and hell discord.

Am I right in my theory that matter, reduced infinitely to its ultimate reduction, and thought-energy, are identical in substance and character?

Yes.

What is the process of passing to a higher plane?

A birth.

Does it involve a death?

Well, a little of that.
