This was a thought I had.  The moon (and probably all the planets) would naturally take on an artificial tone since the Archons cannot create, but can only copy.  It would be just like them to make it mathematically suspicious, as well.

Well that's saying that "time traveling humans" is the only theory for how it came to be.  Personally I don't think it is.  But it was definitely something!  The mathematics of it all and the role in which the moon plays seems completely impossible to have been by chance.  Non-human intelligences seems more likely to me.

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

........thought about this some more after posting the last response, because Lono is right in that time traveling humans does seem to pose a big conundrum....however....what I considered was the idea of alternate timelines.  Maybe in the "past" in an alternate timeline there was another moon set up going on, maybe something a bit more natural, thus allowing for there to be "humans" in some form or anohter.  But then it was "changed" you could say.  Creating the situation we currently know.  That's one possibility.  See, the intuitive feel I got after posting was that a generic "non-human intelligences" doesn't seem to fit entirely.  There's pieces we're missing or overlooking.  It's more complicated than that.  But, that's just my intuitive-based opinion.  Who really knows.

It all sounds so sci-fi, but I have my own personal proof for parallel/alternate timelines and even timeloops, (might explain why I've REALLY taken to watching all the downloaded episodes of "Stargate SG-1" recently that Tom downloaded...that show just totally does it for me!  big_smile  Love it!) so to me, it's not actually farfetched at all.  This universe really is pretty convoluted, to quote the Dolores Cannon book titles.  wink

Just a theory, but aybe they exised on another planet (Mars?) and thought it would be a good idea to seed life on earth.  So travelled back in time to help that happen.  Yeah sounds like sci-fi as Lyra says - but it would fit in with the theory.  Especially if human life didn't originate on Earth...

Now that's a possibility.  Also postulated was that humans originated on another planet... heck, could even be another solar system. 

And I didn't mean to imply that was the only choice he was giving... he just said it was the most likely one as far as he was concerned, so I had to wonder at the paradox.

But yes, alternate timelines... it would seem possible that perhaps humans from a different timeline got stuck in our reality and found to their dismay that the Earth wasn't habitable due to no moon.  So if they needed to create one, it would make sense that they would make it optimal, not just a replica of the moon in their world.  Interesting.

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

Actually, I'm liking Marcus' Mars theory.  When I read that I was like, ding! ding! ding!  big_smile  That makes even more sense than all the others, I think.

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

Include both actually.

The moon can be seen as anomalous for both the obvious reasons and those deemed mathematical, however anomalousness does not automatically equal artificialness.  There are numerous 'coincidences' or 'unusualities' through out the solar system, Iapetus linked above is one example.  Venus is another with it's orbit in relation to Earth.  Charon is another, which not only "rotates" like Earth's moon, but is synchonized in it's orbit also.  Both what can be perceived and the mathematics of creation are there, all through out our neighborhood.  My points do not vaildate nor invalidate the theories discussed, they are intended to show more depth to the discussion.

We are all creators.



P.S.  I will be in my workshop building a new, better moon if you need me.

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

Awakening to our Divine Destiny

The changing phases of the Moon are the result of the interaction between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The Moon is the way, the RELATIONSHIP, between the Sun (the sphere of the Soul) and the Earth (the sphere of our incarnate personality). Living in concert with the changing phases of the Moon, (the experiential / emotional world) serves us to integrate Solar / Sol / Soul awareness into our physical lives. It turns (tunes) the key of our experiential / emotional world to open the door to the Golden Light of our Souls.

Like a musical score, this celestial unfoldment provides the currents that underlie and guide our participation in life's greater evolutionary symphony. Living in attunement to the natural astronomical cycles of life facilitates integration of the greater cosmic energies infusing into the Earth and ourselves--integration of the very Intelligence that is responsible for our spiritual awakening and that supports us to manifest our Divine Destiny.

Soul Infusion and DNA Illumination

Ascension is the embodiment of the totality of our soul essence--to infuse our higher vibrational light bodies into our incarnate forms--to incarnate fully and illuminate, and thus to live in quantum or unified galactic awareness (Soul-Source Aware). Ascension is the refinement of the vibrational mode of the body, not leaving the body. The vibrational mode of the body is tuned by the hydrogen atom, which composes the phosphodiester (light-bearing) circuitry or lattice that forms the double-stranded DNA molecule. The hydrogen atom is also the primary component of the intercellular water that makes up our bodies. The structure of this water, or lymph (which means living spring), is determined by the resonance of the hydrogen atom and its bonding angle which organizes water's molecular form.

Hydrogen is the Mother Element, the element of the Sun / Soul. The DNA is the "Urn of the Soul." Our soul intelligence, or subtle-energy light-body, expresses through the DNA. The current tuning of the DNA impedes the flow of consciousness, our soul intelligence only trickles through the DNA, not quite lighting it up. Thus, the double-stranded molecule functions in its lower-vibrational reflective mode of shadow and reflection, of bio-logic--the mentalization of life, where we use the reasoning process only comparing opposites to learn. This is why we perceive and experience a world a shadow and reflection--the world of duality. It is also why we continue to experience pain and struggle and live in disharmony, disease, degeneration, and death rather than in radiant health and unified awareness.

As the atomic mode of hydrogen is re-tuned, the DNA molecule begins to super-conduct consciousness. When this fully occurs, the DNA illuminates into one radiant spiral of light, which is the DNA's intended functional mode. We no longer experience a world of shadow and reflection but one of radiant light. We no longer function as bio-logical beings, but as unified bio-luminescent beings in galactic awareness (in God consciousness / cosmic consciousness). We realize (in epistemological awareness) rather than mentalize as we become self-realized beings of light in love.

The DNA's current dysfunctional mode, (I suggest) is not due to our own doing, having done something wrong, but is a function of the tuning of the astrophysical system in which we exist; i.e., Earth's orientation in our solar system and our solar system's orientation in our galaxy. In addition, the transition in the DNA functional modality from an unillumined to illumined mode is governed by the continually changing tuning of our evolutionary astrophysical system. See the Precessional Cycle of the Holy Cross.

As we move through this cycle, Earth's polar axis geometrically reorients in its evolutionary system--Earth's solar gravomagnetic field reorients in the unified field of galactic awareness. As this occurs, the atomic mode of hydrogen also reorients, or re-tunes (returns), to a galactic based resonance. Thus, our state of perceptual awareness is time-locked with Earth's precessional Cycle of the Holy Cross, which governs the evolutionary unfoldment of consciousness on Earth. The reorientation in our atomic modality causes a phenomenal acceleration of neurological and biological change within our selves. Facilitating this change in our atomic modality is the key to our physical, emotional, and mental well-being as we move through the primary evolutionary transition (opportunity) occurring NOW. Hence, the greater value of living in conscious attunement to the natural astrophysical evolutionary cycles.

Soul Infusion, and our subsequent return to unified-field awareness (Christ Consciousness), requires a proper neurological balance. Living in attunement to the solunar cycle is a primary key to help establish this balance. When achieved, a triangular corridor opens (the tuning of the key) in our neurological system (between the Pineal, Hypothalamus, and Pituitary) that allows the decent of the soul through the body.

During this process we must work to ground soul down through the mental and emotional layers (or aspects) of self and into the DNA, into our physical molecular structure. This allows the other bio-energy centers (chakras) to function at a soul-level resonance. This also allows new types of hormonal secretions from the brain's control center (the pituitary) that support a refined biological process. The soul-level activation of the DNA awakens our latent future (galactic) coding which in turn allows our transmutation into our refined bio-luminescent form.

As we become soul aware, we become unified beings fully grounded in our bodies rather than being fragmented into apparently separate spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical aspects. In addition, we no longer experience a separation between the totality of our soul's experience (past lives) and our current lives--stretched out in time. We live from the experiential wisdom of our souls' total incarnate experience as the experiences of all of our incarnations coalesce into our embracing here and now awareness...

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

I have been doing a bit of research into this whole deal with the moon.  One thing that I was considering was how the moon is positioned exactly so that a total solar eclipse is possible, as follows:

http://www.thethoughts.co.uk/images/eclipse_a.jpg

It made me think of the images in Shoogies Movie Posters thread...

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/8232/heroestitlecardca0.th.png

So I was wondering - why all the emphasis on eclipses?  Firstly we have this thread detailing the specifics of how an eclipse is possible - and even mainstream scientists are in wonderment at the amazing "coincidence" of this.

Then we have all the movies that use the eclipse as a form of symbolism; so seemingly someone somewhere knows something about this!

After a little digging I found that in 1954 an economist named Maurice Allais discovered that during an eclipse the oscillation of a pendulum is affected.  Since then the effect has become known as the Allais effect, however it hasn't always been possible to reproduce this effect, though it is generally accepted that it does indeed happen - no one actually knows why because according to relativity it shouldn't happen.

Now according to general relativity time travel is possible if extreme gravity is taken into the equation.  This is possible due to the fact that light bends around a sun.

The Allais effect can possibly be attributed to a very slight variation in gravity, caused by the alignment between the earth, moon and sun.  So what if the sun could be used as a tool to catapult someone through time, and the moon during a solar eclipse is used as a focusing device?

Anyone able to elaborate on the possibility?  It is intriguing as there is enough science there to back part of it up - whilst there remain enough unknowns for the idea to not be totally dismissed.  It would also give us a further indication of what the moon is actually about.

Of course there are other possibilities - what I find interesting is that an ecplise is proven to have an unknown affect on the planet (and us?).

That's exactly what I was thinking as I read the first few sentences of your post.  I couldn't remember who discovered it or when, or where I even read this, but I was thinking, "the pendulum thing!" big_smile 

I don't have much to add other than to say, good catch.  It definitely seems that the gravitational field of earth is affected during these total eclipses, and time travel catapulter is an interesting theory for how that could be used. 

Think of the new moon as well - full and new moons seem to act as portals of sorts, allowing us to be more manipulated or affected than we normally would by "unseen forces that be."  So I'm thinking that an eclipse would also create a sort of extra/bonus new moon period.  Short lived in comparison, but it's still enough of something it seems.

I don't think it's any one theory, I think it could be all, and maybe even more.  Plus there's the non-woo woo idea of primitive man being spooked out by the sun "disappearing" and the way it all looks.  You have to admit it looks kind of oogedy-boogedy, and for those primitive human cultures who didn't fully understand what the heavens were all about and how it all works, it was taken as a negative omen.  Something the "gods" were doing, and which indicated bad news for them.  So possibly that has stuck in the "collective unconscious" or whatever we choose to term it and why we still find the imagery fascinating.  BUT....I'm also voting for hidden knowledge estoric reasons as well, such as time travel and strange gravity effects on the earth.  I don't think it's all oogedy-boogedy collective unconscious reasons!  wink

Linear time does not really exist except as a concept. We developed that concept by observing nature's cycles as in the sun rising /setting, the moon waxing /waning, the days getting shorter/longer, the season's changing as a way to measure time. So the artificial concept of time and of existing in time would not be possible without the cycles of the moon, so maybe the moon had to be created in order for time to seem to exist in the world of form. If we didn't observe the natural phenomenom we wouldn't even have a way of perceiving or measuring time as in the various calendars, etc. Since many people think that human biology was engineered, why not the entire world?-lala

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

Here's Gurdjieff's version:
from: http://www.gurdjieff.org/

     Chapter IX
    Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson
    by G. I. Gurdjieff

    The Cause of the Genesis of the Moon


BEELZEBUB began his tale as follows:

"After we arrived on the planet Mars where we were directed to exist, we began slowly to settle down there.

"We were still fully absorbed in the bustle of organizing everything externally necessary for a more or less tolerable existence in the midst of that Nature absolutely foreign to us, when suddenly, on one of the very busiest days, the whole planet Mars was shaken, and a little later such an 'asphyxiating stink' arose that at first it seemed that everything in the Universe had been mixed up with something, one might say 'indescribable.'

"Only after a considerable time had passed and when the said stink had gone, did we recover and gradually make out what had happened.

"We understood that the cause of this terrible phenomenon was just that same planet Earth which from time to time approached very near to our planet Mars and which therefore we had possibilities of observing clearly, sometimes even without a 'Teskooano.'

"For reasons we could not yet comprehend, this planet, it transpired, had 'burst' and two fragments detached from it had flown off into space.

"I have already told you that this solar system was then still being formed and was not yet 'blended' completely with what is called 'The-Harmony-of-Reciprocal-Maintenance-of-All- Cosmic-Concentrations.'

"It was subsequently learned that in accordance with this said 'General-Cosmic-Harmony- of-Reciprocal-Maintenance-of-All-Cosmic-Concentrations' there had also to function in this system a comet of what is called 'vast orbit' still existing and named the comet 'Kondoor.'

"And just this very comet, although it was then already concentrated, was actualizing its 'full path' for only the first time.

"As certain competent Sacred Individuals also later confidentially explained to us, the line of the path of the said comet had to cross the line on which the path of that planet Earth also lay; but as a result of the erroneous calculations of a certain Sacred individual concerned with the matters of World-creation and World-maintenance, the time of the passing of each of these concentrations through the point of intersection of the lines of their paths coincided, and owing to this error the planet Earth and the comet 'Kondoor' collided, and collided so violently that from this shock, as I have already told you, two large fragments were broken off from the planet Earth and flew into space.

"This shock entailed these serious consequences because on account of the recent arising of this planet, the atmosphere which might have served as a buffer in such a case, had not yet had time to be completely formed upon it.

"And my boy, our ENDLESSNESS was also immediately informed of this general cosmic misfortune.

"In consequence of this report, a whole commission consisting of Angels and Archangels, specialists in the work of World-creation and World-maintenance, under the direction of the Most Great Archangel Sakaki, was immediately sent from the Most Holy Sun Absolute to that solar system 'Ors.'

"The Most High Commission came to our planet Mars since it was the nearest to the planet Earth and from this planet of ours began its investigations.

"The sacred members of this Most High Commission at once quieted us by saying that the apprehended danger of a catastrophe on a great cosmic scale had already passed.

"And the Arch-Engineer Algamatant was good enough to explain to us personally that in all probability what had happened was as follows:

" 'The broken off fragments of the planet Earth had lost the momentum they received from the shock before they had reached the limit of that part of space which is the sphere of this planet, and hence, according to the "Law of Falling" these fragments had begun to fall back towards their fundamental piece.

" 'But they could no longer fall upon their fundamental piece, because in the meantime they had come under the cosmic law called "Law-of-Catching-up" and were entirely subject to its influence, and they would therefore now make regular elliptic orbits around their fundamental piece, just as the fundamental piece, namely, the planet Earth made and makes its orbit around its sun "Ors."

" 'And so it will always continue, unless some new unforeseen catastrophe on a large scale changes it in one way or another.

" 'Glory to Chance …' concluded His Pantemeasurability, 'the harmonious general-system movement was not destroyed by all this, and the peaceful existence of that system "Ors" was soon re-established.'

"But nevertheless, my boy, this Most High Commission, having then calculated all the facts at hand, and also all that might happen in the future, came to the conclusion that although the fragments of the planet Earth might maintain themselves for the time being in their existing positions, yet in view of certain so-called 'Tastartoonarian-displacements' conjectured by the Commission, they might in the future leave their position and bring about a large number of irreparable calamities both for this system 'Ors' and for other neighboring solar systems.

"Therefore the Most High Commission decided to take certain measures to avoid this eventuality.

"And they resolved that the best measure in the given case would be that the fundamental piece, namely, the planet Earth, should constantly send to its detached fragments, for their maintenance, the sacred vibrations 'askokin.'

"This sacred substance can be formed on planets only when both fundamental cosmic laws operating in them, the sacred 'Heptaparaparshinokh', and the sacred 'Triamazikamno', function, as this is called, 'Ilnosoparno', that is to say, when the said sacred cosmic laws in the given cosmic concentration are deflected independently and also manifest on its surface independently—of course independently only within certain limits.

"And so, my boy, inasmuch as such a cosmic actualization was possible only with the sanction of HIS ENDLESSNESS, the Great Archangel Sakaki, accompanied by several other sacred members of that Most High Commission, set off immediately to HIS ENDLESSNESS to beseech Him to give the said sanction.

"And afterwards, when the said Sacred Individuals had obtained the sanction of HIS ENDLESSNESS for the actualization of the Ilnosoparnian process on that planet also, and when this process had been actualized under the direction of the same Great Archangel Sakaki, then from that time on, on that planet also, just as on many others, there began to arise the 'Corresponding', owing to which the said detached fragments exist until now without constituting a menace for a catastrophe on a great scale.

"Of these two fragments, the larger was named 'Loonderperzo' and the smaller 'Anulios'; and the ordinary three-brained beings who afterwards arose and were formed on this planet also, at first called them by these names; but the beings of later times called them differently at different periods, and in most recent times the larger fragment has come to be called Moon, but the name of the smaller has been gradually forgotten.

"As for the beings there now, not only have they no name at all for this smaller fragment, but they do not even suspect its existence.

"It is interesting to notice here that the beings of a continent on that planet called 'Atlantis', which afterwards perished, still knew of this second fragment of their planet and also called it 'Anulios', but the beings of the last period of the same continent, in whom the results of the consequences of the properties of that organ called 'Kundabuffer'—about which, it now seems, I shall have to explain to you even in great detail—had begun to be crystallized and to become part of their common presences, called it also 'Kimespai', the meaning of which for them was 'Never-Allowing-One-to-Sleep-in-Peace.'

"Contemporary three-brained beings of this peculiar planet do not know of this former fragment of their planet, chiefly because its comparatively small size and the remoteness of the place of its movement make it quite invisible to their sight, and also because no 'grandmother' ever told them that once upon a time any such little satellite of their planet was known.

"And if any of them should by chance see it through their good, but nevertheless child's, toy of theirs called a telescope, he would pay no attention to it, mistaking it simply for a big aerolite.

"The contemporary beings will probably never see it again, since it has become quite proper to their nature to see only unreality.

"Let us give them their due; during recent centuries they have really most artistically mechanized themselves to see nothing real.

"So, my boy, owing to all the aforesaid, there first arose on this planet Earth also, as there should, what are called 'Similitudes-of-the-Whole', or as they are also called, 'Microcosmoses', and further, there were formed from these 'Microcosmoses', what are called 'Oduristelnian' and 'Polormedekhtic' vegetations.

"Still further, as also usually occurs, from the same 'Microcosmoses' there also began to be grouped various forms of what are called 'Tetartocosmoses' of all three brain-systems.

"And among these latter there first arose just those biped 'Tetartocosmoses' whom you a while ago called 'slugs.'

"About how and why upon planets, during the transition of the fundamental sacred laws into 'Ilnosoparnian', there arise 'Similitudes-of-the-Whole' and about what factors contribute to the formation of one or another of these, as they are called, 'systems of being-brains', and also about all the laws of World-creation and World-maintenance in general, I will explain to you specially some other time.

"But meanwhile, know that these three-brained beings arising on the planet Earth who interest you, had in them in the beginning the same possibilities for perfecting the functions for the acquisition of being-Reason as have all other form of 'Tetartocosmoses' arising throughout the whole Universe.

"But afterwards, just in the period when they also, as it proceeds on other similar planets of our great Universe, were beginning gradually to be spiritualized by what is called 'being instinct', just then, unfortunately for them, there befell a misfortune which was unforeseen from Above and most grievous for them."

It is of prime importance to recognize that just about everything we've been taught to expect as "normal" in our lives is the stuff of fairy tales and unrealistic dreams.

Re: Who Built the Moon?!

Chapter X
    Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson
    by G. I. Gurdjieff

    Why "Men" Are Not Men


BEELZEBUB sighed deeply and continued to speak as follows:

"After the actualizing on this planet of the 'Ilnosoparnian' process, one year, by objective time-calculation, passed.

"During this period there had gradually been coordinated on this planet also the corresponding processes or the involution and evolution of everything arising there.

"And of course there began gradually to be crystallized in the three-brained beings there the corresponding data for the acquisition of objective Reason.

"In short, on this planet also everything had then already begun to proceed in the usual normal order.

"And therefore, my boy, if the Most High Commission under the supreme direction of the same Archangel Sakaki had not, at the end of a year, gone there again, perhaps all the subsequent misunderstandings connected with the three-brained beings arising on that ill-fated planet might not have occurred.

"This second descent of the Most High Commission to that planet was due to the fact that in spite of the measures they had taken, of which I have told you, there had not yet crystallized in the Reasons of the majority of its sacred members a complete assurance of the impossibility of any undesirable surprise in the future, and they now wished to verify on the spot the results of those measures.

"It was just during this second descent that the Most High Commission decided in any event, if only for the sake of their own reassurance, to actualize certain further special measures, among which was also that measure the consequences of which have not only gradually turned into a stupendous terror for the three-brained beings themselves who arise on this ill-fated planet, but have even become, so to say, a malignant sore for the whole of the great Universe.

"You must know that by the time of this second descent of the Most High Commission, there had already gradually been engendered in them—as is proper to three-brained beings—what is called 'mechanical instinct.'

"The sacred members of this Most High Commission then reasoned that if the said mechanical instinct in these biped three-brained beings of that planet should develop towards the attainment of Objective Reason—as usually occurs everywhere among three-brained beings—then it might quite possibly happen that they would prematurely comprehend the real cause of their arising and existence and make a great deal of trouble; it might happen that having understood the reason for their arising, namely, that by their existence they should maintain the detached fragments of their planet, and being convinced of this their slavery to circumstances utterly foreign to them, they would be unwilling to continue their existence and would on principle destroy themselves.

"So, my boy, in view of this the Most High Commission then decided among other things provisionally to implant into the common presences of the three-brained beings there a special organ with a property such that, first, they should perceive reality topsy-turvy and, secondly, that every repeated impression from outside should crystallize in them data which would engender factors for evoking in them sensations of 'pleasure' and 'enjoyment.'

"And then, in fact, with the help of the Chief-Common-Universal-Arch-Chemist-Physicist Angel Looisos, who was also among the members of this Most High Commission, they caused to grow in the three-brained beings there, in a special way, at the base of their spinal column, at the root of their tail—which they also, at that time, still had, and which part of their common presences furthermore still had its normal exterior expressing the, so to say, 'fullness-of-its-inner-significance'—a 'something' which assisted the arising of the said properties in them.

"And this 'something' they then first called the 'organ Kundabuffer.'

"Having made this organ grow in the presences of the three-brained beings and having seen that it would work, the Most High Commission consisting of Sacred Individuals headed by the Archangel Sakaki, reassured and with good consciences, returned to the center, while there, on the planet Earth which has taken your fancy, the action of this astonishing and exceedingly ingenious invention began from the first day to develop, and developed, as the wise Mullah Nassr Eddin would say—'like a Jericho-trumpet-in-crescendo.'

"Now, in order that you may have at least an approximate understanding of the results of the properties of the organ devised and actualized by the incomparable Angel Looisos—blessed be his name to all eternity—it is indispensable that you should know about the various manifestations of the three-brained beings of that planet, not only during the period when this organ Kundabuffer existed in their presences, but also during the later periods when although this astonishing organ and its properties had been destroyed in them, nevertheless, owing to many causes, the consequences of its properties had begun to be crystallized in their presences.

"But this I will explain to you later.

"Meanwhile you must note that there was still a third descent of that Most High Commission to that planet, three years later according to objective time-calculations, but this time it was under the direction of the Most-Great-Arch-Seraph Sevohtartra, the Most Great Archangel Sakaki having, in the meantime, become worthy to become the divine Individual he now is, namely, one of the four Quarter-Maintainers of the whole Universe.

"And during just this third descent there, when it was made clear by the thorough investigations of the sacred members of this third Most High Commission that for the maintenance of the existence of those said detached fragments there was no longer any need to continue in actualization of the deliberately taken anticipatory measures, then among the other measures there was also destroyed, with the help of the same Arch-Chemist-Physicist Angel Looisos, in the presences of the three-brained beings there, the said organ Kundabuffer with all its astonishing properties.

"But let us return to the tale I began.

"Now listen. When our confusion, caused by the recent catastrophe that had menaced that whole solar system, had passed off, we slowly, after this unexpected interruption, resumed the settlement of our new place on the planet Mars.

"Little by little we all of us made ourselves familiar with the local Nature and adapted ourselves to the existing conditions.

"As I have already said, many of us definitely settled down on the planet Mars; and others, by the ship Occasion which had been put at the disposal of the beings of our tribe for interplanetary communication, either went or prepared to go to exist on other planets of the same solar system.

"But I with my kinsmen and some of my near attendants remained to exist on that planet Mars.

"Yes, I must note that by the time to which my tale refers, my first Teskooano had already been set up in the observatory which I had constructed on the planet Mars and I was just then devoting myself entirely to the further organization and development of this observatory of mine, for the more detailed observation of the remote concentrations of our great Universe and of the planets of this solar system.

"Among the objects of my observations, then, was also this planet Earth.

"Time passed.

"The process of existence on this planet also began gradually to be established and it seemed, from all appearances, that the process of existence was proceeding there just as on all other planets.

"But by close observation, first, it could be clearly seen that the numbers of these three-brained beings were gradually increasing and, secondly, it was possible sometimes to observe very strange manifestations of theirs, that is, from time to time they did something which was never done by three-brained beings on other planets, namely, they would suddenly, without rhyme or reason, begin destroying one another's existence.

"Sometimes this destruction of one another's existence proceeded there not in one region alone but in several, and would last not just one 'Dionosk' but many 'Dionosks' and sometimes even for whole 'Ornakras.' (Dionosk signifies 'day'; Ornakra signifies 'month.')

"It was sometimes very noticeable also that from this horrible process of theirs their numbers rapidly diminished; but on the other hand, during other periods, when there was a lull in these processes, their numbers also very noticeably increased.

"To this peculiarity of theirs we gradually got used, having explained it to ourselves that obviously, for certain higher considerations, these properties also must deliberately have been given to the organ Kundabuffer by the Most High Commission; in other words, seeing the fecundity of these biped beings, we assumed that this had been done with aforethought, in view of the necessity that they should exist in such large numbers for the needs of the maintenance of the common-cosmic Harmonious Movement.

"Had it not been for this strange peculiarity of theirs, then it would never have entered anybody's head that there was anything 'queer' on that planet.

"During the period to which the aforesaid refers, I visited most of the planets of that solar system, the populated and the as yet unpopulated.

"Personally I liked best of all the three-centered beings breeding on the planet bearing the name Saturn, whose exterior is quite unlike ours, but resembles that of the being-bird raven.

"It is interesting, by the way, to remark that for some reason or other, the form of being-bird raven breeds not only on almost all the planets of this solar system, but also on most of those other planets of the whole of our great Universe upon which beings of various brain systems arise and are coated with planetary bodies of different forms.

"The verbal intercourse of these beings, ravens, of that planet Saturn is something like ours.

"But in regard to their utterance, it is in my opinion the most beautiful of any I have ever heard.

"It can be compared to the singing of our best singers when with all their Being they sing in a minor key.

"And as for their relations with others, they—I don't even know how to describe them—can be known only by existing among them and by experiencing them oneself.

"All that can be said is that these bird-beings have hearts exactly like those of the angels nearest our ENDLESS MAKER AND CREATOR.

"They exist strictly according to the ninth commandment of our CREATOR, namely: 'Do unto another's as you would do unto your own.'

"Later, I must certainly tell you much more in detail about those three-brained beings also who arise and exist on the planet Saturn, since one of my real friends during the whole period of my exile in that solar system was a being of just that planet, who had the exterior coating of a raven and whose name was 'Harharkh.'"

It is of prime importance to recognize that just about everything we've been taught to expect as "normal" in our lives is the stuff of fairy tales and unrealistic dreams.
