In ages past, the surface world has an ice canopy, which gradually deteriorated. The last remnants of the canopy could be seen at times over Great Britain and Europe as late as the 12 century. There are in fact, still fragments of it in our atmosphere. The Interior ice canopy is far more erratic and at its peak viewings, more dynamic, than was the surface canopy. This is due to the difference in composition of the Interior sun "atoma" and the universal solar sun, and the contrast of the planet's orbit around the sun and the inner planetary hollow sun's expansion and contraction of its magnetic fields. While the inner earth remains stationary in position to its sun, the complex interactions of the magnetic interior-solar, exterior-solar and inner / outer planetary create many "special effects" in the atmosphere of the Interior world. One of these effects is the illusion of the sun appearing at different positions in the sky and a change is "daytime" to "twilight" (but never absolute dark). There is even the appearance of "stars" in the sparkles of the ice canopy. One aspect of the inner planet that I cannot depict in my art (yet) is that the curvature of the inner terrain is concave rather than convex. I have thus taken care to position my "camera" so that the natural curve of the planet (built in to the terrain software I am using) appears as little as possible. It is still barely visible in some of these images.
The following is excerpted from issue 3-81 of "the Source" publication--channeling by Maia (then Christine Hayes), now within the Thoth Archival material. (I have edited this material slightly, where the meaning does not seem clear in the original, which I wrote in the 1980's. - Maia)
Mr. Isacc N. Vail (1840-1912) developed a concept which he anointed
as the "Canopy Theory," postulating the presence of a high atmospheric
cloud covering and encircling the earth in prehistoric times, consisting of ice
crystals. To quote from the publication Earthfire 2 on the
subject:
"Just how plausible is the idea of a water canopy once existing at such an high level? There are several likely attitudinal candidates which even today exist as possible 'remnants' of the prehistoric canopy: at the 22 mile and 50 mile levels, thing, pearly clouds of ice crystals are sometimes seen, called nacreous and noctillucent clouds, respectively. Atmospheric conditions are right as these altitudes for the creation of much larger suspended ice crystal formations, if water vapor could somehow be 'pumped off' and 'held' in those regions. Still higher, above the stratosphere, is an area called the troposphere, which borders of the edge of space, and here, between 80 and 85 miles above the earth, is a specific layer called the thermosphere. Here, the temperature reaches well above the boiling point of water, and remains constant day and night. This layer has the potential for holding indefinitely a vast quantity of water vapor, and there is evidence that it may have done just that, for traces of water-cluster ions have been discovered at that altitude. As to what happened to the ancient water canopy can be found in the Genesis story of Noah's flood. Genesis 7:11-12 reads: 'On that day the windows of the heavens were opened and rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.' Clearly, no normal rainstorm in the atmosphere could have created so vast a quantity of water..."
Subterranean (akashic) records confirm the existence of this water canopy in what the inner inhabitants of this planet call the 'crystal veil' above the surface of the earth in ancient times. For the dwellers of the Interior, the canopy is not so removed from them by time, for their atmosphere still harbors a similar canopy.
In issue 1-80 of The Source is stated:
"While the solar orb of our solar system is without atmosphere, suspended in airless space, the central atoma (central sun) is within a field of density at the very heart of the matter sphere of the hollow planet. Within a few miles of the corona the atmosphere is so heavy that a thick hydrogen vapor is present which bursts into illumination. As the earth (the whole planet) rotates on it's axis, variations occur in the density of this vapor or 'helia,' causing different intensities of light."
Between the helia and the interior surface of Subterranea, there exists a form of ice crystal canopy which interacts with the effects of the helia to create beautiful geometric impressions in the ether (and light shows as well). However, the inner veil is somewhat different from the ancient outer crystal canopy. The inner version is not as consistent a layer but forms (dissipates and re-forms) its density and patterns in the interior sky, as if being created through giant lenses, throughout the interior atmosphere. As the atoma-sun pulsates, so the intensity of the inner sky veil increases and decreases. (note: These effect of the atoma pulsations on the ice crystal veil is continually warped by other magnetic influences as well, resulting in variations within the cycle of canopy display.)
The clouds of the inner canopy consist of a different composition than the ancient outer version. The inner has a greater "etheric charge" (capacity for inter-dimensional shift) and contains more hydrogen and oxygen within it's water crystals.
Issue 3-80 of "The Source":
As the solar wind of the earth atoma moves through the vibrational plane of earth, via the planet's chakras (which line up inside the earth and not at points on the surface) it must pass through a receiving station within the center of the earth that is analogous to the aorta of the heart. All the lands and seas of earth are channeled through this subterranean point, located within the hollow of the planet. It is known to the inner inhabitants as the "Mount of the Saf-fire" or "Mount of Assembling.
The actual location of the Saf-fire Mount, or rather the point where it densifies to attach itself to the inner planet from the streaming aorta of the heart-atoma/center sun) is in the center field or 'travex' of the inner planetary terrain. The travex is the point which is geo-cosmically the center of the interior terra firma (not to be confused with the center of the planet, which is the central sun atoma).
The Saf-fire Mount or 'heap' is the cosmic surveyors' golden mark of the travex. In the upper reaches of the inner sky, the Saf-fire is seen as refracted light. Haloing, arching, cascading in the hollow heaven it is a glory of color and light, as it pirouettes in sun dances with the changing earth tides.
The middle point of the Saf-fire is denser and less reflective. The lower region of the Mount becomes more and more solid as the ice crystal lattices bind into closer formations to create the glacial heap attached to the earth. This assemblage of ice crystals is focused through a strong magnetic spiral, with the central sun using the crystal Mount like a conductive coil.
