Inside the Electron @ 95

I The width of the largest spiral in the sheath of threads was about
one-tenth of the spiral diameter, perhaps a little less, with a small gap
between each turn, but there were too many turns to easily count.
Examining one of the thinner threads, or minor whorls, Ron saw an
I
even finer spiral inside what looked like a tube and remarked that there
was a "wind" inside the spiral that swept him down it. He could not see
this wind, only feel it, confined as he was to the central one-third of
the spiral.
As Ron zoomed further in, he saw an even smaller spiral, more
tightly wound, its turns almost side by side.The wind blew down these
smaller spirals as well. Counting from the first type of spiral, Ron
moved through six or seven orders, his voice becoming fainter as he
counted.
At last he saw bubbles, just as Leadbeater had reported in the UPAS,
almost spherical in shape. All had the same spin: clockwise seen from
above.The top of each bubble appeared quite dense and dark, with a
small dimple.The lower portion was transparent.As Ron floated down
through the dimple deep into the bubble he sensed "a lund of quality
of intelligence... a lund of consciousness" and suspected he had
drifted into another kind of space, very large and otherwise featureless.
In the body of the bubble Ron noticed a circular vortex-type ac-
tivity, but unlike a whirlpool the motion did not seem to end at a
point.Then he found himself in an opaque or foggy space where he
could see nothing. Dropping through it, he came to the trumpet end
ofthe bubble, but when he wanted to go back up to the edge, he could
not do so. He seemed to be forced along a closed path that took him
back to where he had been before. Going around in circles, he felt his
motion was programmed or guided, for he could not control it or stop
it. Unable to leave the closed circuit, Ron decided the only way out of
his predicament was to stop his meditation.
Reviewing his experience, Ron saw that one way he could distin-
guish electrons from UPAS, despite the similarity of the structure of
their whorls, was that the electron had no strings emanating from it
and appeared less energetically active than the uPA.Yet both the elec-
tron and the UPA shared the property that their whorls consisted of
higher orders of spirillae arranged as coils within coils. The essential
