   "He calls the book metaphysical fiction. Lloyd himself did not make the trip, according to the book. It was given to him by another man.

   "Doreal claims to have visited Shamballa and the Mt. Shasta colonies. They are cities of complex machines, guarded by a "warped-space screen." Of a dimensional nature, these screens might be compared to a etheric web that exists between the physical and astral worlds.. Nevertheless, the fact that these centers and their operating machinery are described as physical seems to me significant. Where there is so much smoke from so many different sources, there must be some fire.

   "Doreal implies that all these centers are 'good.' ...It is well known that the cavern areas in these two locales (Mammoth and Carlsbad Caverns) are immensely extensive, and one of them alone could house our entire population. Taking this fact into consideration, and realizing that only very scratchy exploration has ever been made of any of these caves, and none to any depth at all, we wonder why those doubters who keep scoffing say '...if they existed, why haven't they been found?' -- our caves have not been very well explored. For instance, there is a hole in a cave, in Mexico which is more than 6000 feet deep (by measured lines) and if the caves do go down that far, we can assume it possible for almost anything to exist down there with no danger of our discovering it from where we sit. So let's not go around making ridiculous claims about how much we know about our caves."
