Dr. John Lilly:
I understand that cetaceans are intelligent. I would like to know if the higher consciousness of which humans are capable – some people are in those states – are pushed even higher among the whales, dolphins and porpoises. Are the states of consciousness of the cetaceans equal to, greater or lesser than the humans?
NINE:
Far greater.
John:
Is it so much greater that we won’t be able to understand them?
NINE:
They will eventually change their code after the present one is broken, which is about to be.
The whales and dolphins said that they would re-establish a different code when their present one was broken. They were saying that they did not want to be understood by man, and that it’s not time to be understood by man.

NINE:
As it is they (cetaceans) are deemed the watchers, the caretakers, the most intelligent sea creatures to your understanding, but what would they be if their language was understood? They can relay messages over vast distances just using their natural habitat. Their energy flow is enormous in the balancing of the oceans. They would not wish to have such a direct communication with man because of the danger of their being interfered with in their lives and their work.
John:
Their life is already being interfered with to a vast extent by the whaling industry. They are being killed off almost to the point of extinction. My feeling is that if we can communicate and show man that they are highly intelligent and that they do communicate and have a language, we can stop the whaling industry at least. And if we do it in the open without the secrecy that the military people insist on having, people of goodwill can then aid them rather than do them in.
NINE:
This is an idealistic view, and in a power struggle between nations they would be imprisoned or killed. This is very clearly apparent to man’s very nature.
John:
So do we have selected genes, so that we can do nothing to change?
NINE:
Man’s nature — Should mankind itself wish this change, it would simply happen.
NINE:
You must release this information over the years, and should man ever really need the whales and dolphins, they are here.
John:
Is there a present influence on man’s development by, say, extra-sensory means of the whales and dolphins that is causing man to evolve in the directions that this idealist (Lilly) is talking about?
NINE:
They can communicate telepathically, and many people have been affected by these communications such as in the area of nuclear disarmament, ending pollution, etc.
John:
So what is the point in their changing their code and changing their language if they are already in communication with certain humans?
NINE:
With certain humans. This is the word. We have already made the implications of a power struggle between nations.
JOAN OCEAN:
ARE THEY IMPLYING THAT NATIONS MUST NOT BREAK THAT CODE DUE TO WRONG-USE CONCERNS, BUT INDIVIDUALS CAN?
JOAN OCEAN:
WILL WE BE ABLE TO BREAK THE CODE AND SPEAK TO THE CETACEANS?
NINE:
For you, yes, but not mankind.
Toni Lilly:
Will a breakthrough be in language as we know it?
NINE:
No. In telepathy and the proving of its existence.
John:
Where on the planet should the first experiment of Human-Dolphin Community be done?
NINE:
We are in some confusion as to area because the whales have movements that differ to the dolphins, therefore a northerly direction would be clear for the whales while for the dolphins it is Mexico or Hawaii.
Toni:
I would like to know if the Nine have a question they would like us to ask.
NINE:
Yes, when will you take on the dolphins?
Toni:
Could they rephrase that?
NINE:
You have all experienced the dolphins’ level of heart but abandoned it. When will you make it a real part of your lives?
John:
Within a year.
NINE:
Good. Then we will help at any time if asked.
John:
How do we ask? Do they have an 800 number I can call?!!
NINE:
If we can make direct link with you we will. This will come about in dream state and natural energy fields.
NINE:
Our energy is felt by all but defined only by the enlightened that have no axe to grind.
"Hello, Dolphin" was conceived by Dean Rollings,the President of World Dolphin Research in Aspen, CO. Originally, a documentary about the interaction of wild dolphins and children was planned; later, the research was expanded to include adults interacting with dolphins in captivity.
The project was aimed at taking an in-depth look at possible subtle communication modalities between dolphins and humans, starting with the premise that some sort of holographic imaging might be involved in dolphin-dolphin communication, and, thus, in dolphin-human interaction.
Special equipment was constructed to exploit as wide a bandwidth as possible. Wide band sensors and recording equipment made it possible to detect and record --simultaneously--acoustic, electric, electrostatic, and magnetic signals emanating from dolphins. Also, we were interested in the effects of dolphins on human brain waves.
Research was conducted on the Bahama Banks from the Sea Guard, and at the Coral Reef Club in Key Largo. Although not yet completed, preliminary results of the prior studies suggest some intriguing directions for further research, and support our initial feeling that very little is known about the mechanisms of dolphin subtle communication.
Our acoustic sensors consisted of hydrophones with an acoustic bandwidth of 0.1 to 1MHz. Our custom made electric field detectors were designed to operate in sea water and have a bandwidth of 0-250KHZ. The electrostatic detector was constructed from a static discharge inhibitor wrist strap, and our magnetic sensor was a coil with 11 miles of wire coupled to a high gain custom made amplifier. This magnetometer had a bandwidth of 0.01 to 250KHz and was only two orders of magnitude less sensitive than a SQUID (we could detect microgauss changes in the field). Our data recorder was a multi-channel Honeywell 101 with a bandwidth of 0-2MHZ. A Tektronix 2224 oscilloscope and several pieces of ancillary equipment (including a Macintosh X computer) were used; however, most data analysis was performed by ANSI on the same equipment used to analyze U.S. Navy sonar data.
Eight children ranging in age from 10 to 15 from Japan, Germany, Mexico, U.S., and the Bahamas were selected because of their interest and swimming skills to participate in the initial phase. Recordings were made when no dolphins were present and compared with recordings made while the dolphins and children were interacting in the open ocean. The brain waves of each child was recorded before dolphin interaction and as soon as possible after interaction,
At Coral Reef, divers were used to record captive dolphins' reactions to three dimensional targets (sphere, pyramid, and cube). One trainer was selected to have his brain waves recorded immediately before and after he went into the water to work with the dolphins.
With dolphins present, a simultaneous electric, magnetic, and acoustic extremely low frequency signal near 16Hz was recorded (in over 70% of all data runs). Several brain wave recordings indicated a shift in predominate frequency to near 16Hz after interacting with the dolphins. Additionally, it was noted that although some frequencies existed acoustically and not magnetically or electrically, and some magnetic frequencies existed when acoustic and electric did not, there were several frequencies common to all three energies: around 12Hz, 16Hz, and 26Hz. A puzzling simultaneous frequency of 42.5Hz showed up on all runs. It was later determined to be the resonant frequency of the protection circuit in the power strip we were using. High frequency information has been captured, but not yet analyzed.
Based on the analysis of the extremely low frequency data we have collected, we can show that dolphins simultaneously emit acoustic, electric, and magnetic fields that can be recorded in sea water. The magnetic and electric fields may be a function of the piezoelectric substance comprising the sonar shaping material of the melon.
We speculate that dolphins sense electric fields from humans and attempt to communicate using the same frequencies (in the human brainwave band of 6-30Hz). This speculation is based on our data showing a profound alteration of human brainwave frequencies to conform with the fields recorded from dolphins during human interaction.
