The great Flood
2090 B.C. to 1980 B.C.
110 Years
Earlier in this series our scribe has spoken
of the aura which surrounds each living thing with a
scintillating flow of light. Earth, too, has an aura,
made up of every emotional event which has occurred on
its surface. Thus, human history encircles the biosphere
like a series of widening ripples when a stone is thrown
into a still pool.
From the viewpoint of my dimension, earth has been
shrouded in an
emotional shadow with occasional beings, alert to
spiritual direction,
piercing the gloom like shafts of sunlight.
Oh, what joy these light rays afford us, knowing how all
earthlings
will benefit! These are the pathways of spiritual
knowledge down which
we, the enlightened, can travel to speed the dawn of a
new earth-day
when all can enjoy emotional freedom and spiritual
awareness.
From our perspective, earth history and evolutionary
progress is
brought about by quite different personalities from those
recorded in
your history books. Rarely does the mighty ruler or great
church leader
appear to us as a shaft of light. But when such an event
does occur
aeons of human progress can follow in a comparatively
short period of
time.
Far more often the work of leading earthlings into the
light is brought
about by relatively obscure individuals whose names may
never be
recorded in earthly annals, but whose words of wisdom
were picked up by
leaders and echoed by them as their own original creative
thoughts.
Thus, these thoughts were able to have positive far
reaching effects on
human history.
In our dimension we are little concerned with who gets
the credit for
achieving a particular spiritual goal, for all are one in
endeavour, and
the details hold interests only for ego. Rather, our
concern is that the
objective be attained so that all earthlings may benefit.
Therefore, the earthling who serves the Master best is
not he or she
who continually questions us as to future plans and their
particular
role in the overall scheme. The best servant is one who
has faith that
the outcome of anything we propose is for the good of
all, and so does
his or her particular part whether it be small or large
to the very best
of his or her ability.
Through his earthly instrument, the cosmic lord, Loliad-R-Kahn,
is now
in the process of setting up countless rays of light to
be channels for
enlightenment. Now they appear as little candles burning
in the night --
but soon the wattage of many of these will increase, so
enabling a
constant flow of spiritual influence to penetrate the
gloom. Then the
dark night of earth will be ended and the age of
enlightenment
established on your planet, in much the same way as the
personal "dark
night of the soul" precedes the individual's dawn of
spiritual sunrise.
In the fourteen hundred years following the fall of
Atlantis, earth was
gradually dragged into one of the darkest periods in its
spiritual
history. For decades prior to making their fatal
experiment, the
Atlantean theurgists had discussed and detailed their
proposed plan
among the ruling factions of the known world. But while
most of this
information was carefully tabulated and preserved in
thick stone vaults
which served as the Church's archives, the knowledge was
available to
only a select few of the priesthood and ruling class. The
public at
large was taught an entirely different version of the
disaster, based
entirely on anger of the gods, vengeance and fear.
This enabled the rulers to wield the masses by threat of
cosmic
reprisal for disobedience. It resulted in ego-mania in a
few leaders and
the eventual suppression of any noble instinct a man
might have. Under
this influence the human race sank to a more bestial
level than at any
time before or since in human history.
The tortures meted out to anyone who tried to express
opposing ideas to
the priesthood were cruel beyond belief. Many thousands
were castrated
and blinded, or had ears chopped off for the most minor
offences. Some
were publicly torn limb from limb or exposed to totally
dehumanizing
acts, all on behalf of the gods, under the direction of
the priest or
the state!
In spite of all this, remnants of the Khe philosophy
still survived
among isolated wise men whom Spirit warned, protected and
guided. These
were the rays of light through which Spirit was able to
contact the
earth plane with true wisdom, for mystics have access to
Divine
knowledge without any need for physical intermediaries,
such as books or
earth teachers.
One such sage, Noah by name, was to live on in human
memory as perhaps
the last survivor of the Old Order of Khe, and the
founder of a new
nation.
Noah was greatly revered by his small circle of friends
as a true
mystic. When he received forewarning of an impending
disaster, in spite
of every external indication to the contrary, and
countless physical
obstacles, he lost no time in acting unquestioningly on
the advice
received. The fantasy element of the story of the ark
lies in both the
time element in which the flood took place and the
livestock inventory
aboard the vessel.
For many years prior to 2090 B.C. Noah laboured at his
inspired task of
building a seaworthy craft to the exact specifications
suggested by his
angelic advisors. His work was hampered by the long
distances he had to
travel to obtain logs for the lumber he needed.
As his shipbuilding site must necessarily have been at
the edge of
water, it is quite probable that he lived near the new
Khe capital of
Ar-Raas, built on the north bank of the then extended
Nile. The name
Ar-Raas was an ecclesiastical adaptation of the old
Atlantean title of
Rais, the name given to the senior theologian and
metaphysican in
Atlantis.
Subject to the constant jeers and coarseness of those
about him, Noah
endured their vicious attempts at sabotage with faith and
courage almost
beyond human endurance. But his task was centred in a
knowledge of God,
and the availability of Universal Mind to all those who
put their trust
in Him. In moments of near despair, Noah was bathed in
the glorious
perfume of his Guide. He drew new daily strength from the
spiritual
vibrations which hovered constantly about him.
It is probable that the Khe'ans had several years of
warning about the
forthcoming events. The art of astronomy was not entirely
lost, and
there must have been some visual evidence of the approach
of a new star,
gaining momentum in its headlong approach. Possibly Mars,
in its
peculiar position between earth and sun, hid the approach
from certain
angles. But probabilities aside, Noah was fully aware of
the type of
catastrophe expected and the essential precautions
required.
The story of Noah's Ark is familiar to both Bible and
Koran students.
Robbed of its embellishments, it is simple tale of a
great co-operative
effort by man and Spirit. The resultant vessel was
completely out of
proportion with its times. Its strength and seaworthiness
can only be
judged in conjunction with the elevation of its final
resting place;
only waves of gigantic proportion could have carried it
so high aloft.
Into his ark, Noah took his family and specimens of all
his livestock,
together with supplies of food and water. His aim was to
replenish the
earth to the best of his ability once the disaster was
over.
One is led to look upon the Old Testament version of this
story with
considerable charity. It is understandable that the
author would think
the whole world would perish beneath the rising flood
crest. The "whole
world" was a comparatively small area in those days.
At the last notation, we had left Mars positioned
somewhere between the
sun and planet earth, upon which continents were afloat.
We had seen how
the magnetic force of the Atlantean holocaust had sped
farther and
farther out into space, until it was finally spent or
until it contacted
resistance in the form of another planet which partly
absorbed the
terrific impact involved. In the wake of this energy, a
huge vortex
sucked debris into the resultant vacuum.
Now, in the days before the Great Flood, a vagrant planet
came hurtling
out of space as a further repercussion of the Atlantean
experiment. It
had been jolted out of its orbit centuries before by the
force of the
original explosion. But, at the time of the planet's
charge towards us,
earth was positioned in such a way that the effects of
the impact were
far less reaching than they otherwise might have been,
for at this
time Mars stood like a guardian planet on a slightly
closer orbit around
the sun. It approached just at the right moment to absorb
most of the
initial impact of the collision.
It is interesting to note that Mars, the legendary
celestial warrior,
later known as the "God of War", was indeed the
planet which in two
great aerial wars was eventually sacrificed for earth's
survival.
Upon the approach of the vagrant planet, life on Mars
must have
suffered a mortal blow, while on earth a comparatively
small area of the
total land mass was affected, an area roughly the same as
that where the
primary destructive force had been released.
The myths and legends of all the ancient people living
along the
original "band of Life" tell this story in one
way or another, though
with much distortion and confusion of detail. The legends
of one cult
give precedence to Jupiter (Zeus) who leaves his place in
the sky to do
battle with Typhon. In Egypt the Isis of our previous
story was Jupiter.
Osiris was Saturn, also named Amon and Horus, depending
on the
particular cult; and Amon-Ra is merely another instance
of one cult
being absorbed by another.
While endeavouring to confine ourselves to events
occurring within
historical recall, about which certain facts can be
established, it is
still necessary to go back farther to clarify any
remaining confusion.
It should be known that Jupiter was the result of an
earlier cosmic
event which involved other planets not of our present
concern.
The Jupiter incident, however, had passed down in legend
and later,
when the new planet of which we now speak came into more
intimate
contact with earth, new confusion arose as old memories
were revived.
Thus many believed that Jupiter had once more left its
place in the sky.
Not until much later when the new planet had settled down
was it
realized that Jupiter had not moved out of position. So,
for a while,
the same appellation was given to the two planets, while
other schools
of thought supposed that a new planet had been born of
Jupiter. Possibly
the new planet first appeared from Jupiter's direction;
anyway, the end
result was a tangle of confusion in recorded Egyptian
mythology.
In the original story Isis was Jupiter and Osiris was
Saturn. No
mention or thought of Venus or Mars was made; the former
because it did
not exist in our solar system, the latter because of its
proximity to
earth. It is therefore safe to assume that only Venus,
Mars and Earth
were involved in this particular catastrophe, especially
when weighed
alongside the myths that arose all along the "band
of life" as a direct
result of this event. The vagrant planet was later given
the name of
Venus -- Morning Star -- Evening Star -- it being on the
only
inconsistent orbit in our solar system.
With the advent of Venus on the celestial map, a
considerable amount of
name transference began. For example, in the early
Assyrian-Babylonian
days Ishtar was the name for Jupiter; it was later
changed to Venus.
Baal, yet another name for Jupiter, was an earlier name
for Saturn; it,
too, later became Venus.
Many modern authorities subscribe to the theory that the
birth of
terrestrial bodies is due to expulsion by larger ones,
yet do not accept
the theory of the "Big Bang" formation of the
universe. While the
expulsion theory quite evidently holds truth in some
instances, it
cannot be accepted as whole truth. There are many causes
of cosmic
disturbances, any one of which may, under prescribed
circumstances,
cause a whole planet of considerable size to move out of
a position and
go hurtling off at a tangent. This may or may not be a
collision course,
but still litters the cosmos with debris. In this way
short-lived comets
are formed, provided the parent planet is not influenced
by a sun as the
centre of its orbital path. A planet under such
dominating influence
could not expel any portion of itself under normal
circumstances.
Therefore, none of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Mars, or any
other planet in
solar orbit could eject another planet, due to being
under solar
influence. A new planet, no matter how it is formed, must
come into our
solar system from an outside source.
Jupiter and Venus entered our solar system within
legendary memory,
causing first confusion, then a transference of
ideographical names.
The fortunate angle of the approaching invader lessened
the damage
sustained to earth. Perhaps this partial contact might be
better
described as a "push" rather than a magnetic
attraction, for the force
repelled our world. This indicates that earth and Mars
were both
exposing their positive poles to a positive approach
force which was
equal to the combined exposures of Earth and Mars. No
actual contact
took place but earth and Mars were pushed into expanded
orbits. The
effect on Earth was to partially separate it from the
cover of Mars,
thereby causing the beginning of the end of the ice age
and at the same
time increasing the length of the Earth year. The axes of
both Earth and
Mars were probably changed.
It is important to bear these facts in mind because of
the tremendous
influence they had on earthlings in subsequent years.
Venus was also pushed away, but, not yet under Sol's
influence, careened
off the magnetic barrier to begin a long oval-shaped
journey that was to
bring it back again and again before its speed was
sufficiently slowed
for its magnetic polarity to become equalized into a
regular orbital
path of its own.
In ancient histories of the "band of life, and only
along this band,
cosmic clashes between planets have been recorded mainly
as "Sun Ages".
These sun ages are five in number and each represents a
change in the
sun's appearance in the sky.
The ancients believed that periodic changes of the sun's
position in
relation to Earth were to be expected as one age came to
an end and a
new one began. Though first recorded as "Ages",
the term "Sun Ages"
indicated greater importance being placed upon the sun's
appearance. It
is most interesting to note that the addition of "Sun"
to "Ages" by all
these people occurred within the same relative period.
Many versions were, of course, recorded. Scholars and
mathematicians of
the age felt they were able to compute the time-element
expectancy
between ages. Theurgists and priests had a field day,
advising their
followers to be good and faithful as only those who
accepted their
teachings and their gods would survive and find eventual
salvation (a
familiar parallel to modern denominational teachings?)
The last three "Sun Ages" were put
on ancient record in the following
order:
1. Age of Volcanic eruption.
2. Age of Inundation.
3. Age of Fire.
Of these we have already discussed the first
and now speak of the
second, "the Age of Inundation", when a massive
movement of water
flooded the lands, seemingly having its greatest effects
in a westerly
flow. This is evidenced by the vast flooding occurring
all down the
Americas as far west as the high mountain ranges which
dominate most of
the West Coast.
When one cosmic force, in the shape of a planet,
approaches another,
the gravitational pull of either can be changed in the
most unpredictable
manner. In this instance, with the pull to the west, the
eastern
flooding was less disastrous, though most of Europe as
far east as
Paris, France, was inundated. The eastern floods were the
result of a
backflow. The forward flow dragged the Atlantic waters
together with
enormous amounts of silt in a westerly direction; the
returning waters,
despite the huge wall of water involved, were therefore
less violent
than the westerly flood.
As expected, tremendous earth tremors and volcanic
eruptions
accompanied the Age of Inundation. Mountains were moved
and in some
instances travelled many miles to become deposited atop
mountains of
older origin.
To the west another offshoot of Atlantean culture was
swept away in a
single night of terror as a great wall of water,
thousands of feet high,
crossed rapidly over the land.
Much of Earth's crust seemed bereft of gravitation. Whole
cities were
lifted like toys and carried forward on the crest of the
waves, to be
deposited in the most unlikely places. One such example
may be found in
the Andes near the Bolivian border. Here in Peru is a
city with an
elevation of 12,500 feet in a region of sparse vegetation.
Another such
city is situated on the Altiplana, a high plateau between
the eastern
and western Cordilleras, near Lake Titicaca, on the
border of Peru. This
dead city strongly reflects Atlantean and Swnian building
techniques
with its massive stone walls shaped and pieced together
with the same
precision and strength as the pyramids of Egypt.
Archaeological and radiocarbon analysis indicates the age
of this
"Andean" culture to be in the 2000 B.C. range
which corresponds in the
time with the Egyptian dates of inundation.
Another specimen of the ancient Peruvian civilization is
the old
fortress of Ollantaytambo which appears to be built on an
elevation of
stone blocks twelve to eighteen feet high. Yet the
nearest available
rock of the same type is seven miles distant.
Ollantayparabo, another old fortress in Peru rises on a
plateau 13,000
feet above sea level. It, too, is built of massive stone
blocks, but
there is no indication of these blocks having been
quarried anywhere
nearby. Too heavy to transport, the stone must have been
quarried
locally when the fortress was built -- and the whole
thing carried
forward and upward, intact, during some great upheaval.
Logic alone questions the need for fortresses at such
isolated and high
elevations. The purpose of such strongholds was to house
guardians.
These must necessarily be readily mobile to have any
value. What then
were they guarding in inaccessible mountain ranges? As
the precision and
style of these buildings is nearly identical there can be
little doubt
that they were all built about the same time.
Most of Europe was flooded to a considerable depth as the
waters rose
and "all the fountains of the great deep were broken
up..." (Genesis
7:11) "And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the
Earth; and all the
high hills ... were covered Fifteen cubits upward did the
waters
prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all the
flesh died that
moved upon the earth ... And the waters prevailed upon
the earth an
hundred and fifty days." (Genesis 7:19 - 21, 24).
A graphic tale, coloured by time, but accurate in all the
essential
details. Modern excavations over the flatlands of Europe
as far inland
as Paris, France, testify to the extent of the flooding.
One result of this first encounter with Venus was an
effect on seasons
as Earth tilted on its axis. In relation to Earth, the
sun rose in a
different part of the sky and for slightly longer periods
each day. The
big push actually benefited earthlings with longer,
brighter periods of
sunshine and a year now extended to 360 days. Mars no
longer stood
between Earth and sun when Venus continued its long
flight in space.
With the Great Flood, the last remnants of Khe were swept
away, and
when the waters finally subsided, high spots of Khe
emerged as a few
small islands in the newly born Mediterranean Sea.
A new civilization developed in these islands, growing
out of the few
Khe survivors and people from the north (probably Italy),
who, on
entering a new age when there were longer periods of
sunshine, began
to move about. In this way the Minoan culture, considered
to have been
one of considerable advancement, came to influence the
group of islands
which centred around Crete. These include Samos, home of
Pythagorus,
and Andros, scene of many modern explorations into
ancient
civilizations.
