The Dark Plasma Earth and Its Ghostly Inhabitants

Esoteric investigations into non-physical life on and/or near earth

The idea that earth is surrounded by a series of non-physical dimensions where other beings reside (including deceased humans) has received exponential support over the last forty years.

Out-of-body explorer the late Robert Monroe (1915–1995) used the term “rings,” while occultism generally speaks of “spheres” and “planes”; in the aether model (see Book 1), we have the torus, and in dark plasma theory, we have the dark plasma biosphere.

Monroe detailed that the rings (or spheres) are in fact nested within one another, the earth’s physical sphere being, as far as he could tell, the innermost of the spheres, with the non-physical/occult rings dwarfing and enveloping it in turn. This is exactly what the occult tradition states.

According to Jay Alfred’s Dark Plasma Theory, a much larger counterpart dark plasma earth interpenetrates the visible earth: it is “the biosphere for the exotic plasma life forms which have been loosely referred to as angels,1 ghosts, aliens, and similar life forms in the anecdotal literature.2”

Monroe and many other investigators have established this for a fact via a multitude of NDEs, OBEs, and hypnotic regression. Life between life (LBL) hypnotic regression subjects report very consistently on their memory perceptions of afterlife realms: they agree that within the astral plane closest to earth, there are other realities overlapping our own world.3

LBL pioneer Michael Newton had many clients describe space in the spirit world as curved, and suggested that if the spirit world seems round to them, and appears to curve as they move through it at speed, this might represent a finite, enclosed sphere4, in other words, a “ring” as Monroe termed it; this would be a “plane” to an occultist, not to imply a sense of actual flat geometry, of course.

One LBL subject identified himself as an interdimensional traveller who had to pass through three other dimensions before reaching ours: he perceived the spirit world as being oriented around the centre of a circle or sphere, with each universe being a sphere interlocking with the next, chain-like.5

Hypnotic theta states have allowed regression subjects to experientially verify that the physicist’s many worlds hypothesis is correct in a sense, just not quite in the way physicists imagined.

These other parallel realities exist as facets of the antecedent infinite consciousness underlying everything; they appear to have little to do with any supposed “branching” or “splitting” of quantum probability waves occurring due to observations or measurements occurring on earth.

Some variation of “dark plasma theory” might be the best way of scientifically accounting for the observations of occultists, NDEers, OBEers, and LBL subjects the world over. The subtle bodies such as the astral and mental body are composed of “dark plasma” which eludes the perception of the majority of people, yet not all, as we know (and as I demonstrated decisively in Book 1 of The Grand Illusion).

“Dark plasma” comprises the subtle vehicles and worlds that clairvoyants perceive and report on. The worlds we return to following the deaths of our biomachines (bodies) are also composed of dark plasma — these are where our so-called subtle bodies reside (astral, mental, etc.). In Alfred’s words, when we “die”, all that happens is that our “locus of awareness is transferred more completely to the bioplasma body.6”

There are numerous references to plasma or plasma-like phenomena in metaphysical literature, some of which we highlighted in detail in Book 1. For instance, in one LBL regression, a soul refers to manipulating a sphere of healing energy with her hands: “it looks a little like a plasma ball.7”

Another soul speaks of manipulating light and creating light shows comparable to the aurora borealis (“Northern lights”), a famous natural plasma display playing across the sky.8

In terms of the astral plane, the “rainbow” of sub-planes forms a spectrum of emotion. At the “red” end of the spectrum are the lowest and worst of human emotions: hate, anger, greed, lust, envy. Up at the higher end of the spectrum (the violet end) are the best of human emotions: kindness, happiness, warmth, caring and so on. And again, there is every combination possible between these two ends of the spectrum.9

As Don DeGracia — an experienced out-of-body traveller — points out, the rings/spheres correspond to states of mind.

The scummiest…are on the lowest rings. Average people, people not especially bad, but not especially good, are on the rings a little farther out. Beyond these are rings that correspond to people who are strongly devoted to upholding ideals — be these religious, political or intellectual. And farther out are rings that correspond to states of mind of the highest nobility and intellect and spirituality. And beyond these rings are quiet rings where you won’t find human states of mind.10

In Monroe’s expositions, he describes the rings as having physical size, in that they occupy space and seem to have a sort of spherical geometry (does “music of the spheres” ring any bells?). The spheres or planes the occultist speaks of are acknowledged as occupying physical space, enveloping the Earth in successively larger sizes.

Seer Charles W. Leadbeater wrote in Clairvoyance (1899), “the astral and mental planes of our earth are as definitely its own as its atmosphere, though they extend considerably further from it…”

This idea of different states of mind being related to geometry might strike people as being odd, since we are not used to thinking of such realms as having physical dimensions, but as we can see there is a definite harmonic structure to these occult planes. The overall structure is that of nested geometrical shapes, one inside the other, inside another, like matryoshka dolls. 

Monroe said that the innermost ring closest to the physical was occupied by souls who, in general terms, were all oblivious to any reality besides the physical. They responded to Monroe on a spectrum from unawareness to confusion, fear, or outright hostility. All inhabitants were trying in vain to participate in human physical life, not knowing anything else.11

One group making up part of this composite of souls on the inner ring was actually living humans in the dream state — they had a distinctive vibration or radiation. Monroe noted these people had a tendency to “wink out” or disappear in the middle of an action, as if they were waking up at the physical level again.12

Astral travel expert Robert Bruce has met dreamers too and notes their surprise when he points out to them that they can fly and do things they normally can’t.13

DeGracia points out in DO_OBE that dreaming people in the middle regions of the astral plane generally lack lucidity, are virtually “out of it” and usually unable to answer even basic questions about themselves.14

The second group Monroe identified as occupying this innermost plane he designated as the “Locked-Ins.” Essentially these people had “died” (permanently exited the physical body) and not realised it — they were earthbound souls trying in vain to continue their regular physical habits, drives, and addictions (“hungry ghosts”).15

The description Monroe gives of these people fits the commonly known descriptors of “ghost” behaviour: they often remain around physical locations, such as houses, and physically living persons to whom they have become attached. Some continue to attempt re-entry into their dead physical bodies and to reactivate them, even into the grave — which may give credence to the strange radiation effects sometimes perceived in cemeteries, Monroe suggests, though this could well be partly put down to lingering decomposing etheric shells (the discarded etheric body) also.

Monroe noted sombrely that the numbers of the earthbound continue to increase and will do so indefinitely without a shift in human values and perspective.16

Thankfully this is (slowly) happening.

Eighteenth century multi-potentiate and seer, Emmanuel Swedenborg, mentioned in his writings the fact that someone who has just died may not realize they are dead for some time. This notion is also stressed in The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which was only translated into English by Evans-Wentz in 1927,17 well over a century after Swedenborg’s death.

The behaviour of the Locked-Ins, as Monroe refers to them, almost exactly mirrors descriptions of relatively unconscious beings in the “bardo of becoming,” as detailed in the Tibetan texts.

The final group Monroe characterised from these inner rings, he termed the Wild Ones. These souls also did not realise that they were dead, and had neither passed over properly, nor realised they could no longer continue living their familiar behavioural patterns — though sensing somehow they were indeed “different.”

They realise they are freed of all earth-life restraints, morality, and social taboos, but can’t quite figure out why their actions don’t produce the expected results and payoffs (they are no longer physical but still trying to do “earthly” things on the earth plane: sex, for instance, doesn’t work how it used to without a physical body).

Again, with this sub-group, Monroe confirms what the Tibetan texts say about the bardo of becoming and its relatively unconscious (and unfortunate) inhabitants who, in life, knew of nothing other than the material world.

Monroe noted the potential for these more belligerent souls to invade a “shaky” or vulnerable living human’s energy and “piggyback,” that is, to become what we will later call an attached entity.18 Bruce speaks of the OBE “hitchhiker” in Astral Dynamics as a being who holds on to the OBEer from behind after they exit, a.k.a. a “piggybacker.19” Mean or not, such piggybackers are generally a nuisance at worst and cannot cause the astral projector any real harm, as far as Bruce is concerned.

The next ring outwards is composed of those individuals who DO realise they are no longer in human physical life, but have no memory or awareness of any other experiential possibilities; Monroe generally found them easy to assist to a suitable outer ring/plane. He added that the population here is relatively small and remains more or less static due to the assistance supplied by inhabitants of the outer rings.20

With these observations, Monroe offers independent support for the spiritualistic notion of “spirit rescue,” wherein a lost, confused or disoriented soul who is essentially “stuck” in one of the nearer planes, is helped into the light by either: a group of friendly humans, for instance; a mediumistically oriented group of Spiritualists in the physical realm; or more confident and able souls in spirit realms.

I have observed such Spiritualist meditations where spirit rescue is performed. It is fascinating to watch the apparent discarnate express themselves through a willing trance medium and voice their confusion or frustration at their situation in the afterlife. Once some sort of meaningful contact is established with the spirit, the mediums directing the session will call on a guide to assist the now willing soul to move into the other realms.

Of the next ring or plane moving away from earth, Monroe said it was the largest and consisted of a seemingly infinite number of sub-rings. Everyone here knows they have died, though with differing views of what has happened and where/what they are, hence the many sub-rings.21 (These would be what he dubbed the “Belief System Territories.”)

We see reconfirmed the notion that awareness tends to increase as one moves away from the innermost rings, and we also have reconfirmed the notion that beliefs correlate with the plane or “ring” one finds themselves on upon death. (More on this in Book 2.)

Observing from outside and beyond this ring, Monroe saw human souls both entering into and leaving it, that is, entering the reincarnation cycle and leaving it. For most people, Monroe deduced that passage from the innermost rings to the outermost requires — for the vast majority — up to several hundred in-human lifetimes and thousands of earth year cycles to complete.22

As fellow OBEer Don de Gracia observes of Monroe’s body of work, “basically, he has confirmed the teachings of occultism. He describes the after-death state, the nature and inhabitants of the nonphysical planes, the use of common siddhis and other phenomena of an occult nature.”

But Monroe used his own lexicon to describe these phenomena: “planes” become “rings,” a “spirit” is a “curl,” he calls a “thought-form” a “rote-ball,” and “telepathy” becomes “rote transfer,” etc.23

To Ken Wilber, these lower realms are…..
