Spirit hands, song-propelled saucers, and A-P

Last night I finished the Shane Baldwin and Latter-day Chad podcast mentioned in "John emerges from a cave with the simplest of codices" and "These ladder days." One of the ideas it presents it that in the scriptures the title "Arm of the Lord" refers to the Holy Ghost, who is also called the Spirit or the Angel of the Lord. For example, around the 55-minute mark, Chad says:

So the Arm of the Lord dried the Red Sea. The Holy Ghost, the Angel of the Lord dried the Red Sea because they're one figure. Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed?

They also talk about the Hand of the Lord, who they argue is a separate figure but is clearly conceptually similar to the Arm.

Immediately after finishing the video, I picked up Flying Saucers Have Landed and read this. Adamski's co-author, Desmond Leslie, is discussing the possibility that flying saucers are made to fly via something like psychokinesis:

The explanations given with other experiments when heavy furniture moves into the air without tangible support, is that 'spirit hands' are at work. Call them 'spirit hands' if you like, but would it not be safer to say that a second force opposite the earth's magnetic [i.e., gravitational] pull has temporarily been brought into action?

And what brings these other forces into action?

By all that one can see it appears to be activated by that little known force called the Human Will.

Spirit hands obviously syncs with the idea that the Hand of the Lord and the Arm of the Lord are specific spiritual beings. The podcast I had listened to is part of a series called "The Strange Work," and Latter-day Chad sometimes goes by Will; in some videos, he is labeled "Will aka Latter-day Chad." So that caught my synchromystical attention.

One the next page, I read Leslie's suggestion that saucers might be propelled by sound:

Can you see, in imagination, a highly developed being in his space vehicle uttering the correct vibration which will make the propelling forces obey and thrust him through the void towards our atmosphere? And then on entering this, our ocean of air, whose nature he perfectly understands, utter a second vibration that will smooth out and completely neutralise all the jagged rending disharmony of a solid body being thrust through by sheer brute force?

Leslie imagines this propulsive sound being vocal in nature -- something the extraterrestrials "utter" rather than produce with a machine or instrument. This made me think of the description in the Book of Mormon of the Jaredites singing continually during their voyage, so I took a break from my reading to look that up:

And it came to pass that the wind did never cease to blow towards the promised land while they were upon the waters; and thus they were driven forth before the wind.

And they did sing praises unto the Lord; yea, the brother of Jared did sing praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise the Lord all the day long; and when the night came, they did not cease to praise the Lord. And thus they were driven forth (Ether  6:8-10).

Doesn't that "thus" make it sound as if the songs somehow played a role in the propulsion of the vessels? Is it just a coincidence that while "they did not cease" to sing, 24 hours a day, "the wind did never cease to blow towards the promised land"?

The "ocean of air" reference had also served to remind me of the Jaredites. In "Tight like unto a saucer?" -- featuring the same noun as the title of Adamski and Leslie's book -- I discussed the hypothesis that the Jaredites were spacefarers, with outer space described metaphorically as the "great waters."

Then, just one paragraph later, I found this in Flying Saucers:

I was still musing on the possible sources of power when a very strange document came into my hands . . . . In this book were terms and expressions I had never heard of before, terms like 'etheric force'

This is the first occurrence in the book of any form of the word ether, coming right after a passage that had reminded me of the Book of Ether. The book he is referring to is The Story of Atlantis by W. Scott Elliott. In Daymon Smith's version of the story, the Jaredites come not from Mesopotamia but from Numenor (Tolkien's Atlantis). Leslie then suggests some Atlantis-related reading material:

Anyone interested in Atlantis for its own sake should read works of that title by Donnelly, Lewis Spence, Scott Elliott, . . . and particularly 'Letter No. XXIIIB' in The Mahatma Letters to A-P. Sinnett, to name but a few.

The last person referred to is the Theosophist Alfred Percy Sinnett. I'm not sure where the hyphen came from; perhaps an OCR artefact. Anyway, the reference to someone called "A-P." in connection with Atlantis caught my eye. In Tolkien, the last king of Numenor is Ar-Pharazon (with a hyphen), and I recently read some channeled material which repeatedly refers to this Atlantean monarch as "AP." (The title of the document itself also has the initials AP.)

In a comment on "These ladder days," Debbie read 1/16 as OK. The idea is to reanalyze 1/16 as 11/6, then reverse the order to 6/11, and change 6 to 15 because 1 + 5 = 6. That gives 15/11, which is OK (the 15th and 11th letters of the alphabet). A pretty convoluted process. If I were to read 1/16 as two letters of the alphabet, they would be A and P.
