The PERELANDRA scene, as my flawed memory imagines it, required that the supernormal beings needed to "slow down" their natural "velocity" and simplify their multidimensional complexity so that Ransom could integrate anything about their appearance. They had to do something so that they "fit" into our limited reality before Ransom had a chance to "make any sense" out of what he was watching. I suppose that you could attempt to apply such a fictional invention by Lewis to the phenomenon of a multiple-dimensional being penetrating our three-space, but our comprehension would seem to depend more on their efforts than ours if we followed the analogy. My experience with multiple-dimensional beings is a bit too incomplete to make a sensible comment I'm afraid.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-81427363303795837152010-03-10T09:33:05.398-08:002010-03-10T09:33:05.398-08:00Hello, Prof.

Ransom asks the being to 'show itself' as it really is. The angel replies that Ransom's perceptual framework will not allow this to happen. The angel then runs thru several 'appearances' until it finds one that Ransom can perceive without mental/physical discomfort. The appearance is the standard angel form, and Ransom is relieved to see something he can identify. I wonder if some UFO events are bound by the same perceptual difficulty expressed by Lewis. Can humans see and identify what they do not recognize as being familiar? The UFO reality appears to be changing from what FSR reported 60 years ago. Perhaps it is we humans whose perceptual abilities are changing to a more finely honed vision. Fascinating stuff. Please continue your reading/blogging.richardnoreply@blogger.com
