Subject: Egg Shaped Space Homes.v Part 4 of 4.

This concludes the discussion about the egg shaped
space houses.
........................................................
........................................................
You will notice that, in speaking of these great
personages, I instinctively use `he' rather than `she'.
In explaining this, I can only suggest that the
personalities of these special beings were so strong
and their bearings so imposing, that I recognized more
of the masculine in them than the feminine - I mean no
offence to women - my reaction was instinctive. I's a
bit like imagining Methuselah as a woman. However,
women or men, they had transformed me. I knew that the
colors surrounding them were their Auras. I was capable
of seeing Auras - who knew for how long - and I
wondered at what I saw.
The `leader' had resumed his seat and all eyes were
fixed on me, as if they wanted to see inside me, which
indeed, is what they were doing.
Silence reigned for a time, which seemed
interminable. I watched the varied colors of their
Auras vibrate and dance around them, sometimes far the
distance and recognised the `bouquet of color' Thao had
spoken of earlier.
The golden haloes, clearly defined, were almost
saffron colored. It occurred to me, they could not only
see my Aura, but possibly read it as well. I suddenly
felt quite ****d before this learned assembly. The
question that haunted me was: why have they brought me
here?
Abruptly, the `leader' broke the silence. `As Thao
has already explained to you, Michel, you have been
chosen by us, to visit our planet, in order to re****t
certain messages and to offer enlightenment on several
im****tant issues when you return to Earth. The time has
come when certain events must occur. After several
thousand years of darkness and savagery on the planet
Earth, a so-called `civilization' appeared and,
inevitably, technology was developed - a development,
which was accelerated during the last 150 years.
`It has been 14 500 years since a comparable level of
technological advance existed on Earth. This
technology, which is nothing compared with true
knowledge, is nevertheless, sufficiently advanced to
become harmful to the human r-ce on Earth in the very
near future.
(same said in other material from highlevel ETs.
rø-comment)
`Harmful, because it is only material knowledge and
not s-iritual knowledge. Technology should assist
sp-ritual development, not confine people, more and
more, within a materialistic world, as is happening now
on your planet.
`To an even greater extent, your people are obsessed
with a single goal - affluence. Their lives are
concerned with all that the pursuit of wealth entails;
envy, jealousy, hatred of those richer and contempt for
those poorer. In other words your technology, which is
nothing compared with what existed on Earth more than
14 500 years ago, is dragging your civilization down,
and pu****ng it closer and closer to moral and spi-itual
catastrophe'.
I noticed that each time this great personage spoke
of materialism, his Aura and those of his acolytes,
flashed with a dull and `dirty' red, as though
momentarily, they were in the middle of burning bushes.
`We, the people of Thiaoouba, are assigned to assist,
guide and sometimes punish the inhabitants of planets
under our guardian****p.'
art of Gilbert Williams - not in book - but shall
illustrate the watching over "sick" planets from cosmic
intelligence.
Fortunately, Thao had briefed me on Earth's history
during our journey to Thiaoouba. Otherwise, I'd have
surely fallen off my seat on hearing such a speech.
`I think,' he resumed, `that you already know what we
mean by `harmful to the human r-ce'. Many people on
Earth believe a-omic arms to be the major danger, but
it is not so. The greatest danger concerns
`materialism'. The people of your planet seek money -
to some it's a means of attaining power; to others
it's a means to acquire d-ugs, (another curse) yet to
others, it's a way of possessing more than their
neighbors possess.
`If a businessman owns a large store he then wants a
second, then a third. If he commands a small empire, he
wants to increase it. If an ordinary man owns a house
in which he could live happily with his family, he
wants a larger one or to own a second one, then a
third...
Why this folly? Besides, a man will d-e and have to
abandon all he has amassed. Perhaps his children will
squander his legacy and his grandchildren will live in
poverty? His whole life will have been preoccupied with
purely material concerns, with insufficient time
allowed for matters of the sp-rit. Others with money
turn to dr-gs in their endeavour to procure an
artificial paradise and these people pay more dearly
than do the others.
`I see,' he continued. `I am going much too fast and
you are not following me, Michel. You should be able to
follow, however, since Thao has already initiated your
education in these matters during your voyage.'
I felt ashamed, almost like when reprimanded by a
teacher at school; the only difference being, here I
was not able to cheat by saying I had understood when
it wasn't true. He could read me like an open book.
He deigned to smile at me and his Aura, which had
been flaming like a fire, returned to its original
hue.
`Now, once and for always, we will teach you and
provide you with what you French call `the key to the
mystery'.
`As you have heard, in the beginning there was the
Spi-it alone and He created, by his immense force, all
that exists materially. He created the planets, the
suns, plants, animals, with one goal in mind: to
satisfy his spiri-ual need. This is quite logical since
He is purely spir-t. Already I see you are wondering
why the need to create material things in order to
attain s-iritual fulfilment. I offer this, by way of
explanation: the creator sought sp-ritual experiences
through a material world. I see you still have
difficulty following - but you are making progress.
`In order to have these experiences, He wanted to
embody a tiny part of his Spi-it in a physical entity.
To do this, He called on the Fourth force - the force
which Thao has not yet spoken of and which concerns
only spir-tuality. In this domain, Universal Law also
applies.
`You most certainly know that the pattern of the
Universe dictates that nine planets revolve around
their sun (- their sun' - sometimes 9 planets revolve
around two small suns (twin star) - explanation of the
Author on request of the Editor). It is also the case
that these suns revolve around a bigger sun, which is
the nucleus for nine such suns, and their nine
planets. So it continues, right to the center of the
Universe from where the explosion referred to by the
English as the `Big Bang' originated.
`Needless to say, certain accidents occur and
sometimes a planet will disappear in a solar system, or
perhaps enter it, but later in time, the solar system
will revert and base its structure again on the number
nine.
`The Fourth force had a very im****tant role to play:
it had to bring to fruition all that the Spi-it had
imagined. It `inserted' thus, an infinitesimal part of
the Spir-t in the human body. This comprises what you
could call the Astral body, which forms one ninth of
the essential human being and consists of one ninth of
a `Higher self', which is sometimes called `overself'.
The Higher Self of man is, in other words, an entity
which sends one ninth of itself into a human body,
becoming the person's Astral being. Other physical
bodies are inhabited, similarly, by other ninths of the
same Higher Self and yet each part remains integral to
the central entity. (-`central entity' - it means that
each of us shares a Higher Self with 8 other people on
Earth - explanation of the Author on Editor's
request.)
(Rampa/tibetan visdom says similar but as I
understand it - it is not neccessary tied to just 8 -
see
http://www.galactic-server.net/rampa/ramchap1.html
link on this - half inside that page. rø-remark)
Rampa tells that the
higherSELF/overself/subconsciousness holds 1/10 of the
real consciousness - here they say 1/9 - that is almost
the same....`Further, the Higher Self is a ninth part
of a superior Higher Self which, in turn, is a ninth
part of a more superior Higher Self. The process
continues as far back as the source, and allows the
enormous filtration of spiritu-l experience required by
the Sp-rit.
`You must not think that the Higher Self of the first
category is insignificant in comparison with the
others. It functions at a lower level, but is
nevertheless extremely powerful and im****tant. It is
capable of curing illness and even resuscitating the
dead. (- What is known on Earth as Spi-itual Healing,
can be achieved with the help of the Higher Self of the
healer, without the patient being present. However,
providing the patient gives permission, the competent
healer can assist the patient from anywhere in the
world. Author's comment. This is not an exchange of
`energy' but exchange of `information' at the level of
Higher Selves.
Editor's comment.) (Exactly the same is said in the
books from LOBSANG RAMPA. look in

RØ-comment.)
There are many instances of people, declared
clinically d-ead, who are brought back to life in the
hands of doctors who had abandoned all hope for them.
What generally happens in these cases, is that the
person's Astral body meets with the Higher Self. This
****tion of the Higher Self has left the physical body
during the period of `de-th'.

Something About Easter Island. Mar. 13, 2008.
Here is something from a person who I don't agree
with very much but at least he tells some of the facts
about Easter Island. Please judge for yourself what is
true.
........................................................
........................................................
We must therefore present the view of reason, not out
of the hope of reconstructing the deserts of ruined
minds that have been rusted shut which is all but
impossible but to educate and train new and fertile
minds.
Easter Island has generated an amazing amount of
theories and speculations, and many of these are based
upon perceived `mysteries' of the statues and
controversy over `who done it?' Most conjectures
revolve around diffusionist theories (people from
elsewhere came to the island and carved the statues and
built the shrines). But a few consist of astoni****ng
leaps of imagination: laser beams, extra-terrestrials,
elephants, anti-gravity, etc. Some of the wild
speculations are based upon actual cultural remains,
but with an astoni****ng twist. A few suggest disturbed
minds.
The material falls into the `crazy theories'
category, the outer space bunch, and natural
catastrophes. Then there are those who focus on
rongorongo (a mysterious script from Easter Island,
carved on wooden boards and just strange enough to
entice a large segment of the rationally-challenged)
and the Lemuria-Mu aficionados who work from a sunken
continent theory. This latter group is allied with the
Atlantis group.
The real `mystery' of Easter Island is why so many
people feel compelled to fabricate such fabulous and
extraordinary `solutions' when we know who built the
shrines and carved the statues, we know how the ancient
Polynesians got to the island, and we know (in general
outline) their history.
Flying Moai
Werner Wolff’s book, Island of D-ath (1973) contains
an extensive array of misinformation and some amazing
ideas. One of these is his theory that the statues of
Easter Island were carved around the statue quarry so
as to be blown onto their ahu at various locations
around the island when the volcano of Rano Raraku
erupted. Wolff wonders how the ancient sculptors worked
in a `gaseous crater' and suggests that investigators
of Easter Island’s mysteries should try to confirm his
thesis of `volcanic trans****tation.'
While surely an innovative idea, Wolff’s theory has
holes the size of Texas. Geologists have determined
that the volcanoes were extinct for thousands of years
before the Polynesians arrived on Easter Island. The
statue carvers selected the part of the quarry at Rano
Raraku with the best quality of volcanic tuff; and, it
has been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years.
Thus, no gases emanated from Rano Raraku at the time
span of statue carving (probably AD 600-1600). As for
the statues being blown from the quarry to their
intended site, they would disintegrate upon impact as
a result of volcanic trans****tation.

Elephant Power
An article appeared in the Denver Post (Colorado) a
few years ago, detailing an amazing theory about Easter
Island. Titled `Unraveling one of Archaeology’s Great
Riddles' the article describes how one man solved the
`puzzling riddle' of the enormous stone statues on
Easter Island. Elephants were the `key'.
The story included Kublai Khan’s armada sent to
invade Japan. The armada’s ****ps were scattered by
typhoons, causing the loss of some 6,000 ****ps, several
of which had w-r elephants on board. ****ps are
sometimes pushed across the Pacific to North or South
America. Ergo: the elephants were landed in South
America and then the ****p ssailed westward to Easter
Island, naturally bringing along the elephants. (JW
I don't believe that one either.
Central Energy Plant?
An author by the name of Tom Gary suggested that
Easter Island was some a kind of central energy plant
from which energy was transmitted to Mexico and South
America. Gary suggests that rongorongo inscriptions
were the key to the Easter Island mysteries', and that
a `diagram' on the backs of some of the giant statues
offers the key to unlocking their message. His claim
was that the diagrams would lead to a `copying machine'
that would copy in three dimensions. Gary’s theory
involves some unspecified power that he says emanates
from the island, passes up through the statues, and
comes out of the statues’ eyes in the form of laser
beams. It was those beams that carved the rongorongo
script. Gary found it very strange that neither
g-vernment officials nor scientists would come to look
at his `evidence', and attributed this to `academic
snootiness.'
Note: The statues do not have diagrams on their
backs. Some have designs, but these reflect the
aesthetics of the island’s art and are believed to
represent the sacred hami (loincloths) worn by chiefs.
And just what one would to copy in 3-D is not clear].
The Sunken Continent Bunch
A lot of folks really want to believe in the theory
of a sunken continent. Read my lips: the islands of
Polynesia are not, nor have they ever been, a part of a
sunken continent. They are the tops of volcanic peaks.
Before modern exploration and mapping of the sea floor,
some thought that the Pacific islands were part of a
former continent. However, now we have clear and
irrefutable evidence that no such continent ever
existed.
Nevertheless, the view dies hard. As recently as
1989, a review in The Wa****ngton Times described an
upcoming book by one Charles Berlitz that `will examine
Easter Island as a relic of a lost continent.' Berlitz
is quoted as saying that there are: . . many
prehistoric remnants in the South Pacific . . . .
monstrous buildings on small islands.
One explanation is that these were shrines atop
mountains and the cities are submerged. About 11,000
years ago most of the land mass around these islands
was above water."
A quick look at the credentials of Berlitz is
revealing: he authored The Bermuda Triangle, Mysteries
from Forgotten Worlds, Doomsday 1999 A.D., and Atlantis
the VIII Continent. He is quoted as saying that if one
pierced the earth with an arrow at the center of the
Bermuda Triangle it would emerge in the Pacific [Duh].
(JW That theory has a grain on truth to it.)
Lemuria and Mu
The Lemuria and Mu contingent go hand in hand with
the sunken continent idea. Those who wish to believe in
ancient supernatural powers and a mystical r-ce with
special abilities and knowledge, lean to Mu, Lemuria or
Atlantis as the places from whence far-wiser beings
came. Various writers have ascribed different locations
for that region, diverse attributes, and special
abilities of the peoples that supposedly inhabited
them.
Many proponents for the lost civilization of Lemuria
focus on Easter Island, but the details vary from time
to time. The lost Lemurians, according to one source,
were groups of clairvoyant s-ers, oracles, and h-ly
people who interacted between other worlds. Today the
remains of this `lost paradise' include the Fiji
Islands, Hawai‘i, Easter Island, and '. . . some of the
Los Angeles area and that is why many s-iritual people
who have a high consciousness are drawn there.' [More
likely, one might suggest that is why there is a large
percentage of nutcases in El Lay].
The Lemurians supposedly got together with the
Atlantian refugees and after 12,000 years of
development, they now possess the power to operate the
a-om-core alloy hull UFOs which exist and enter
undersea `gateways' via anti-gravity fields. Sunken
pyramids at the bottom of the seas also contribute to
this effect'.
The proponents of Lemuria believe that there is
`little doubt' that the mysterious culture of Easter
Island had an advanced form of air travel at its
disposal. [If the Easter Islanders had had air travel
available in ancient times, they would have left when
things got tough.]
Barry Fell's Theories
Ultra-diffusionist theories claim that most
civilizations can be traced to the genius of a few who
spread enlightenment throughout the world. These
theories generally develop in total isolation from
legitimate scientific studies. Barry Fell and his
sup****ters' base much of their `evidence' on designs
carved on rocks, claiming that these represent various
ancient alphabets and languages. A self-taught
epigrapher, Fell `translates' markings that geologists
identify as natural weathering, or rock carvings left
by ancient Native Americans. Serious archaeologists
study the rock carvings as evidence of native belief
systems, but Fell and his cohorts `read' them, and
ascribe them to various wandering peoples from the
European sphere: Celts, Basques, Phoenicians, Libyans,
Carthaginians, Arabs, Minoans and Egyptians.
Fell derives the Polynesian language [and the
language of the Zuni Indians!] from ancient Libyan with
some Anatolian and Asian elements thrown in for good
measure. He claimed the Polynesians were descended from
Libyans who were in the service of Egypt, working in
Sumatra's gold mines and `even Australia'.
Fell's books sell incredibly well to the public in
North America that is intent on believing that an
ancient `w-ite' culture existed on this continent a
r-cist theory. The major complaint regarding Fell is
that evidence that displeases him is ignored, and his
linguistic `evidence' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
However, his books delight large numbers of wishful
thinkers.

Space Travelers
Travelers from space comprise a large segment of
`theories' about Easter Island. One correspondent
stated that the island was a `rest and recreation
station for space travelers, who would have been not
less than six years non-stop in space.' And, he added
that, `the famous person that they commemorate would
have been a space traveler who lost his eyesight when
evading a `black hole'.
As for how they were carved, the basic removal of a
block was carried out with a blow torch or thermal
lance, producing a total surface of obsidian that all
had to be chipped off.
[Any traveler who tangled with a black hole would
have far more problems than losing eyesight. The
statues were carved from volcanic tuff with basalt
tools, the marks of which are still clearly visible in
the quarry. The tools used by the ancient Rapanui can
still be found lying around the quarry. Obsidian is not
found as a `surface on the statues'.
Stone tools were used exclusively by the Easter
Islanders, who lacked any kind of metal.
Eric von Daniken and Extra-Terrestrials
Von Daniken has been the single most vexing source of
misinformation about Easter Island. He published a book
in 1968 called Chariots of the G-ds? Unsolved Mysteries
of the Past, and followed that blockbuster by several
others of the same ilk (Over 3,000,000 copies in hard
cover!! `he greatest archaeological sensation since
the discovery of Troy!'
.. . . a provocative theory that will fascinate a vast
and eager public.')
What this printing history indicates is that people
will believe/buy anything provided it is sufficiently
bizarre.
One of von Daniken's favorite subjects is the Nazca
Lines (obviously `landing strips for the space
visitors'). But his imagination has spread to virtually
every corner of the world.
Von Daniken (1968:90) wrote much of his material
about Easter Island without ever visiting the island.
Thus we are treated to such statements as:
Whole mountain massifs had been transformed,
steel-hard volcanic rock had been cut through like
butter. No trees grow on the island, which is a tiny
speck of volcanic stone."
In his book, `The Gold of the Gods,' von Daniken
wrote that the statues were made from stone not found
on the island, thus the stone must have been brought in
by those little guys from outer space. These erroneous
statements have been quoted and re-quoted endlessly by
those who are not familiar with Easter Island.
[The volcanic tuff from which the statues were carved
is ****ous and readily cut with stone tools; it is not
`steel-hard.' Trees DID grow on the island and still do
today. By historic times the large trees had been cut
down, but in prehistoric times the island had a forest.
The island has good soil and is not a ‘tiny speck of
volcanic stone'. The statues were carved on the island
from volcanic tuff, basalt, trachyte, and scoria all of
which is present on the island. The main statue quarry,
Rano Raraku, still has several hundred unfinished
statues lying in the quarry.]
Catastrophe Theories
This category leans toward things like `Tectonic
Cleavage' and the movement of landmasses, tidal waves,
etc. Often this group relates also to B-blical
s-riptures so we are advised of `counter rotation of
the sun to fulfill G-d's prophesy' and one writer
suggested that the Hawaiians are Aztecs who were sent
into the Pacific in `The Westward Tectonic Tidal Wave'.
Baloney and Half-Truths
There is a class of books and articles that uses just
enough fact and/or jargon to sound OK to the uninformed
reader.
These are really spurious, for they entice the
non-specialist and general reader with reams of `facts'
about various places or theories. Without being aware
of counter-arguments, or lacking information about the
areas in question, or knowing the authors' agendas, it
is easy to be seduced by them.
Our first example is taken from an editorial by F.
Joseph in `The Ancient American,' 1996. The writer
describes what he calls the `M-rxist Scenario' for what
happened on Easter Island and then:
As long ago as 1947, Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated an
ancient and seminal Peruvian connection to Rapa Nui by
sailing his balsa replica of an Andean vessel from
South America to Easter Island. His achievement sent
off a firestorm of official abuse that continues to
this day. Last summer's discoveries `vindicated Dr
Heyerdahl."
[Heyerdahl did not land on Easter Island, but drifted
to the Tuamotus Islands, far to the north. Nothing of
South American manufacture has ever been found on
Easter Island: no pottery, no metal, no weaving, no
fine pressure flaking. DNA studies prove Easter
Islanders are Polynesian].
F. Joseph goes on to say:
Easter Island Civilization is far older than they
always claimed. And its ancient links to South America,
which they dismissed as `unlikely,' are now beyond
question. To the up-holders of their out-dated dogma,
we can only say, ‘We told you so.' "
[This is the typical response and put-down to the
scientific community: the `gotcha mentality' of `we`
vs `them.'
Note: `The Ancient American' carries such stories as
`Decoding the Sphinx,' `Rune Stones in the U-ited
States,' `Prehistoric Chicago', and `Bearded Foreigners
in Mesoamerica.']
Let the Reader Beware
In the category of deception we find author D.
Childress, a diffusionist who has churned out an
amazing number of books, the titles of which invariably
start with the words `Lost Cities . . . .' No
continent, island, country, or concept is spared.
Childress claims to treat his readers to `lost
continents, sunken cities, living legengds [sic],
s-cret societies, cataclysms, mystics, and living
dinosaurs.' Well, he does all that. Whatever actual
facts are present are buried beneath a compost of
speculation and half-truths.
Readers of Childress' (JW I like the books of
Childress and consider them to contain a lot of truth.)
books need to watch for the lavish use of the phrase,
`What Else Could It Be?' The books contain some factual
information from solid sources, but they are sprinkled
with fanciful material, designed to mislead the less
astute reader.

Something About Easter Island. Part 3.
Mar. 14, 2008.
This sums up what has been said about these statues.
........................................................
........................................................
Take this section from Ancient Tonga and the Lost
City of Mu:
Fijians may well be from Egypt and Africa, and this
may explain the curious fact that Fijians and Tongans
speak the same ancient language invarious dialects, yet
are two distinct r-cial types. Egypt is a land that was
inter-ra-ial in ancient times, and would have had two
different rac-al types speaking the same language. The
Egyptians were known to have explored and possibly
colonized along the East African coast and therefore it
is quite possible that Fijian has some linguistic
similarities with certain Tanganyikan [Tanzania]
dialects. As far as the Theban customs used in Fiji,
this may well be the use of wooden head stands for
sleeping, an unusual custom used in Fiji, Tonga, Tonga
and ancient Egypt. The Egyptians were also known for
their excellent stone masonry technics [sic], something
that can be easily seen in Tonga and other Pacific
Islands, particularly Rapa Nui (Easter Island)."
(Childress 1996:117-8)
The reader should note astoni****ng jumps in logic and
the use of `may explain' `it is quite possible' and
`this may well be.' These buzz-words may convince the
unwary that the natives of Fiji came from Egypt. By
using the phrase `Theban customs in Fiji' the writer
conjures up a connection between two far-separated
areas, and never mind that they are separated by both
thousands of years and thousands of miles and that the
custom of using head rests is found in a great many
cultures. By tossing in the phrase `masonry techniques
of Egyptians,' stone cutting practices of the Egyptians
are magically trans****ted to Tonga and Easter Island.
Implied is the rac-st notion that the people of Tonga
and Easter Island were incapable or unaware of masonry
techniques unless shown to them by someone from a
`higher civilization.'
Readers of Childress’ books will find just enough
factual information to give (for an instant) some
credibility, but then spurious comments from weird
sources are added and mixed into a murky stew.
`Ancient Micronesia & the Lost City of Nan Madol',
Childress asks a few rhetorical questions:
Were the first inhabitants priests who used their
ancient knowledge taken from India and Egypt to build
the amazing sea****t of Nan Madol? Was Pohnpei a remote
Pacific base for an ancient navy that was occasionally
visited by air****ps from distant airfield? It boggles
the imagination!" [We agree with Childress's final
sentence, completely].
Then he goes on to discuss Egyptian `explorations' in
the Pacific around 1000 BC, and some Greek sailors are
tossed in, . . . remnants of Alexander the Great’s army
in Persia. The final chapter is titled `The Mystery of
the Settlement of the Pacific.' And here we find a
liberal dose of Barry Fell advocating Libyans and
Phoenicians in the Pacific, and those pesky Egyptians.
At this point, Childress states, `Though many
historians are reluctant to accept the theory of
Egyptians in the Pacific, the evidence is overwhelming
..
Other books published by Adventures Unlimited include
UFOs and Anti-Gravity; Extraterrestrial Archaeology;
The Anti-Gravity Handbook; Underground Bases & Tunnels;
What is the G-vernment Trying to Hide?, Ether
Technology.
Egyptians as the source of all things cultural seems
to be a fertile ground for some writers. A slim book by
Jairazbhoy [this book is the `Ishtar' of the book
world) claims that everything Polynesian can be traced
to Egypt by way of Mexico and South America.
[Dear Reader, the Egyptians did not make it to Easter
Island, or Nan Madol, or . . . The Fiji islanders are
neither Egyptian nor African. They came from the
Solomons or Vanuatu, having left their Southeast Asian
homeland and spreading eastward by way of Indonesia,
the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. The Fijian
language is not similar to nor is it related to that of
Tanganyika [Tanzania]. The many regional dialects found
in Fiji descend from the language known as
Austronesian. To respond to all the misleading
statements in these books would require writing another
book].
Rongorongo Tablets
Rongorongo tablets have been a fertile area for
speculation, for one can read nearly anything into the
small engraved images on wooden tablets. A goodly
amount of literature has described them as being linked
to the un-deciphered script of the Indus Valley,
Egyptian hieroglyphics, ancient Sumerian, Chinese, and
many others, despite the thousands of years difference
in time and huge distances apart. One creative writer
suggested they are a link to Stonehenge via those busy
extra-terrestrials. Gads, those guys really got around.
Conclusion
Creators of nutty theories and bizarre scenarios
and their ardent followers are not likely to be
converted by reason.
Their minds are made up, don’t bother them with the
facts and, besides, their books sell very well. The
general mind-set for authors of the fantastic genre is
against the scholarly and the professional. These
writers stress (and quote liberally) from sources
dating from the 19th century when the science of
archaeology was in its infancy. Before the Pacific sea
floor was mapped, many persons thought a continent
might have been there. But now we know it was not so.
To quote from someone who was writing in that earlier
time period and trying to pass it off as ‘truth’ or
‘fact’ is deceptive. Using outdated sources is a
typical practice, in a sort of `let the reader beware'
attitude, and popular writers consistently over-stress
the similarities and assumed similarities between early
civilizations of the two hemispheres:
Who are these folks who foist c-azy theories upon the
public? Wauchope (1962: 125) states that crank
pseudo-scientists hold certain traits in common:
.. . . the crank works in almost total isolation from
his fellows, and. . . has a tendency toward paranoia
likely to be exhibited in five ways: he considers
himself a genius; he regards his colleagues as ignorant
blockheads; he believes himself unjustly persecuted and
discriminated against; and he writes in a complex
jargon."
The consequence is that a huge number of books are of
little scientific value, and what sells is far-out
fiction or fictionalized accounts of ancient cultures
that stress the `mysteries' of the place.
While sensational books remain popular, in recent
years the ****ft has been to television shows or series
that stress the ‘mysteries’ of various places around
the globe, speculating and insinuating about esoteric
and wonderful things that ancient peoples may have
done, and how they knew `s-crets' that have been `lost'
over the centuries.
There is little doubt that the TV media manipulates
its viewers, particularly the young who tend to believe
what they see (or think they see). These programs are
popular, narrated by movie stars with deep melodic
voices, and the public responds to them. One can only
cite the prevalence of TV science fiction programs that
seem to get more fantastic every season, or the members
of the recent `Heaven’s Gate' suicide cult in
California that thought they were to be carried off by
a space ****p. (JW I heard "The Two" speak and they
were very conviencing but something told me not to
be part of their group.)
A lot of people believe that flying saucers have
landed, and that there are intelligent beings `out
there'. While there may indeed be intelligent life
elsewhere in the universe, the real story of what
happened here on earth in the past is far more
fascinating. Archaeology is an exciting subject. What
is more absorbing than discovering and understanding
how people lived thousands of years ago, how they faced
similar problems of shelter and survival, and struggled
to understand their universe? We have a depth of
history, and an amazing cultural heritage. Our
ancestors built shrines, shelters, made pottery and
wove fabrics, created tools, and objects of metal. They
built communities and families, created writing
systems, carved statuary, and buried their dead with
offerings for their g-ds. Their story is our story, on
another level of development. To represent that past
falsely and for money and notoriety is reprehensible.
And there is another thing. To suggest or intimate
that the ancient Easter Islanders did not carve their
statues and build their shrines is to deny them their
past. Easter Island has a rich history, coming out of
the Polynesian tradition, which in turn derives from
Southeast Asia. They created a remarkable civilization,
out there, isolated in the vast South Pacific Ocean.
Let’s give them a little credit!

(JW IMHO the thing that happened on Easter Island
was that some people with a highly advanced culture
built the statues that are there now. It may have
been the group that Thao belongs to. They made a
statue that contains the name of Thao on it and it
is made to look somewhat like her. On some of these
statues they have a round red hat on the top of their
heads which are probably like the hats that Thaoe's
friends wear when they put on their colored robes.
Some of these hats have been removed from some of the
statues. They are made of a different colored rock
and it is red in color.
The native people have attempted to cut other
statues with wooden tools but have never, as far as I
know, been able to trans****t these large statues very
far and put them on the statue pedestals. So that's
it my opinion on these statues.)

Something About The Higher Self. Mar. 15, 2008.
This talks about the higher self.
..........................................................
..........................................................
It perceives its physical body below, and the doctors
trying to resuscitate it; it can also perceive loved
ones who mourn for it. In his present state, the Astral
body, the person will feel perfectly well - even
blissful. Usually he abandons his physical body,
frequently the source of much suffering, to find
himself catapulted down a ‘p-ychic canal’, at the end
of which is a wondrous light and beyond, a state of
bliss.
`If before passing through this canal into the
blissful light which is his Higher Self he has the
least will not to d-e - not on his own account but for
the sake of those who need him, young children for
example, he will ask to return. In certain cases it
will be permitted.
`You are in constant communication with your Higher
Self by means of your cerebral canal. Acting as a
transmitting and receiving post, it conducts special
vibrations directly between your Astral body and your
Higher Self. Your Higher Self monitors you continually,
by day and by night and can intervene to save you from
an accident.
Someone, for example, who is to catch a plane, finds
that the taxi breaks down on the way to the air****t; a
second taxi called also breaks down - just like
that... just like that? Could you really believe in
such a coincidence?
`The plane in question crashes thirty minutes later,
leaving no survivors. Another person, an old and
rheumatic woman and barely able to walk, starts to
cross a street. There is a loud horn blast and a
sreeching of tires, but this person is miraculously
able to leap to safety.
`How is this explained? It was not yet her time to
di- and so her Higher Self intervened. In one hundredth
of a second the Higher Self triggered a reaction in her
adrenaline glands which, for a few seconds, provided
enough strength to her muscles to enable her to execute
the leap which saved her life. Adrenaline released into
the b-ood can make it possible to flee from imminent
danger, or to defeat the `unbeatable' through anger or
fear. In too strong a dose, however, adrenaline becomes
a lethal poison.
`It isn't only the cerebral canal which is able to
conduct messages between the Higher Self and the Astral
body. Another channel exists sometimes in dreams - or,
I should even say, in sleep. At certain times during
sleep, your Higher Self is able to call your Astral
body to itself and, either communicate instructions or
ideas, or to regenerate it in some way, repleni****ng
its s-iritual strength or enlightening it in regard to
solutions to im****tant problems. For this reason, it is
essential your sleep is undisturbed by intrusive noise
or by nightmares resulting from harmful impressions
received during the day. Perhaps you will better
understand the im****tance of your old French saying:
`Night brings counsel'.
`The physical body in which you exist at the moment
is already very complex, but still, it is nothing
compared with the complexity of the process of
ev-lvement which occurs with Astral bodies and
Higher-selves.
In order to allow ordinary people on your planet to
understand as easily as possible, I will make my
explanation in the simplest (12) terms.
`Your Astral body, which inhabits every normal human
being, transfers to its Higher Self all the sensations
that are experienced during a lifetime in a physical
body. These sensations pass through the immense
`filter- of nine Higher-selves before arriving in the
etheric `ocean' that surrounds the Sp-rit. If these
sensations are based essentially on materialism, the
Higher-selves have enormous trouble filtering them,
just as a water filter clogs quicker if it filters
dirty water than if the water was already clear.
`If, through the numerous experiences you have in
your life, you ensure your Astral body benefits in a
spir-tual sense, it will acquire more and more
spi-itual understanding. In time, which can vary from
500 to even 15 000 of your Earth years, your Higher
Self will have nothing more to filter.
`This part of itself, embodied in the Astral being of
Michel Desmarquet, will be so spiri-ually advanced, it
will have arrived at the next stage where it will have
to contend directly with the more superior Higher Self.

.......
`We can compare this process with a nine-stage
filter, intended to rid the water passing through, of
nine elements. At the end of stage one in the process,
one will have been completely eliminated, with eight
remaining. Of course, to make this information easier
to digest, I am making enormous use of imagery...
`This Astral body then, will have completed its
cycle with the Higher Self of the first category and
will then detach itself from Higher Self number one to
rejoin the Higher Self of the second category; the
entire process will be repeated. By the same token, the
Astral body will be sufficiently s-iritually advanced
to pass to a planet of the next category, as well.
`I see you are not following me very well and I am
anxious that you will understand absolutely, all that I
explain to you.
`In his wisdom, The S-irit, by means of the Fourth
force, provided for nine categories of planets. At
present, you are on the planet Thiaoouba which is in
the ninth category; that is, at the top of the scale.
`Earth is a planet of the first category and
therefore at the bottom of the scale. What does this
mean? The planet Earth could be likened to a
kindergarten with the emphasis on teaching basic social
values. A planet of the second category would then
correspond with a primary school where further values
are taught - in both schools, adult guidance is
imperative.
The third category would comprise secondary schools
where a foundation of values allows exploration beyond.
Next, you would go to university, where you are treated
as an adult, for you would not only have attained a
certain amount of knowledge, but you would also start
to accept civic responsibility.
`This is the type of progress occurring with the nine
categories of planets. The more spiritually advanced
you are, the more you will benefit, on a superior
planet, by an environment and general way of life which
is superior. The very way in which you procure food is
much easier, which in turn, simplifies the process of
organizing your way of life; the consequence is more
effective spiritual development.
`On the higher planets, Nature itself, enters the
stage to assist `the pupil' and, by the time you reach
planets of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
category, not only is your Astral body highly evolved,
your physical body has also benefited from your
development.
`We know you have already been favourably impressed
by what you have seen on our planet. As you see more,
you will appreciate that it is what you would call on
Earth, `a paradise'; and yet, compared with true
happiness, when you become a pure spirit, it is still
nothing.
`I must be careful not to make this explanation too
long, for you must re****t it word for word, changing
nothing in the book that you will write.
It is absolutely essential you allow no personal
opinion to intrude.
`No, don't get anxious - Thao will help you with the
details when the time comes to start writing...
`From this planet, it is possible either to remain in
a physical body or be reunited with the Great S-irit in
the ether.'
As these words were uttered, the Aura surrounding the
leader shone more brightly than ever and I was
surprised to see him almost disappear in a golden mist,
only to reappear a second later.
`You have understood that the Astral body is a body
which inhabits your physical body recalling and noting
all the understanding acquired during the course of its
various lives.
`It can only be enriched spiri-ually - not
materially. The physical body is merely a vehicle
which, in most cases we abandon when we -ie.
`I will elaborate, for I see that `in most cases' has
confused you. By this, I mean that some of us,
including all on our planet, are able to regenerate the
cells of our bodies at will. Yes, you have already
noticed that most of us seem to be of the same age. We
are one of three planets that are the most highly
ev-lved in this galaxy. Some of us can, and do,
directly join what we call the great ether.
`So, on this particular planet, we have arrived at a
stage near perfection, both materially and spi-itually.
But we have our roles to perform, as does every
creature existing in the Universe; in fact, everything,
including a single pebble, has its role.
`Our role, as beings of a superior planet, is to
guide - to help with spiri-ual development and even,
sometimes, materially. We are in a position to give
material assistance because we are technologically the
most advanced people. Indeed, how could a father give
spi-itual guidance to his child if he were not older,
more educated and more skilled in diplomacy than the
child?
`If the child should require physical punishment, as
unfortunately, is sometimes the case, isn't it
im****tant that the parent be physically stronger than
the child? Certain adults, who refuse to listen and who
are absolutely stubborn, also need to be corrected by
physical means.
`You, Michel, come from the planet Earth, which is
sometimes called `The Planet of Sorrows'. Indeed, the
name is appropriate, but it is this way for a precise
reason - it is intended to provide a learning
environment of a quite specific kind. It is not because
life there is so difficult that you have to intervene -
you cannot lightly go against Nature, destroying rather
than conserving what the Creator has put at your
disposal; that is, interfering with ecological systems,
which have been intricately designed.
