text: Unaccountably, Anne Howard was at his side. Her slender arm patted his drooping shoulder. “Please don’t despair,” she begged. “Perhaps you didn’t evacuate space completely. There may be a tiny flaw in your calculations that can be rectified. And next time” — she threw a defiant glance at the young man — “you can count on me to go along with you — even into that ultradimensional universe.”

text: Within the larger, structure flared the focus of disturbance. Iskra started violently. Obscure phrases tumbled from his lips. Bewilderment spread over his saturnine features. Instinctively his finger stabbed toward the octahedral knob that governed the translation-trains, the ultradimensional waves of himself and his vehicle that would send them all hurtling back to the safety of Ooroopah.

text: In his make-up analysis and synthesis run parallel. One would think that his obsession is to find the cosmic harmony in every thing and to establish in every case the coincidence of the Fact with the Idea, and vice versa. And in so doing he reaches heights of attainment hard to discover anywhere else. No one can escape this impression from the reading of his prose. The reader finds himself of necessity in another world. Very few will miss the presence of Something ultradimensional...at least in terms of time, for Alfonso Reyes is a man of two or three Times. In his thought one discerns, telescoped, the thought of twenty centuries. . . . But he is not the scholar full of dusty facts. There is the fragrance of Springtime in his lines.

text: When Aristotle says that first philosophy is the science of being qua being, he gives metaphysics the task of being a science of the whole. Being qua being is being which is not determined simply to this or that dimension. It is, rather, something “ultradimensional,” a sort of opening up of the whole. And, precisely as such, it is like this and that and every other dimension which constitutes the whole.

text: "I do believe,” murmured Pucky in an excited voice, “this time we’re in luck and will meet the masters of the robots — even if robots are manning the ship. They’re letting air into the airlock. I don’t think robots need air. When I entered a Silver Arrow for the first time. I had changed into a quantum of light due to the ultradimensional changeover of the molkex. . ."

text: We cannot hope to stop the reaction of the reaction because the galaxy is a far more entity than I. But we may guide it if we can achieve the correct medium of perception and enough control. 'I do not understand,' I complained. There was a note of panic in me. I could see terror in the face and feel it in the ultradimensional folds of the web.

text: This is the reason why, sticking to the facts and failing for the time being any exhaustive, satisfactory explanation other than their “biological nature”, we agree to your interpretation, according to which most of the UFOs that have mystified men for generations are not extraterrestrial spaceships at all, but are generally-invisible, ultradimensional, ultraterrestrial, biological, etheric organisms that are of our planet, that have been living with us, side by side, unnoticed, since the beginning of time.
