Though
this above article called "Flame's Land Suit" might seem outlandish to
you, I must confess when I first experienced "Flame" I was in a Kahului,
Maui, Hotel near the airport. I was taking a bath and all of a sudden
an extremely intelligent 10 foot tall Octopus started communicating with
me. Since I had already studied with Native American Medicine men in
the U.S. , and with Tibetan Lamas and monks in the U.S. and India and
Nepal I could deal with this experience much better than most people.
This happened in late 1989 when I was living on Maui with my family in
Hana and Paia during that time.
Later I wrote more about "Flame".
"Flame's Land Suit" was inspired by meeting one of Flame's likely
ancestors telepathically in a local Aquarium. I also found out later
that in a public aquarium video cameras revealed that the large northern
pacific octopi hunt sharks by suffocating them by stopping them from
swimming and clogging their gills with their tentacles so they can't
breathe water. So, from all this the octopus is possibly the most
intelligent non-mammal in the ocean.
I found my writings that I
had on my older website at Yahoo Geocities before I moved it to
dragonofcompassion.com, my new website. However, I realized recently
that I hadn't moved Flame to the new site. So I found the documents on
my external hard drive that I can move between all my computers and
decided to place it here for safe keeping until I make a copy and send
it to my other website. Here it is.
The History of Flame
Introduction
"Flame"
Flame
first came to me in a hotel in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. I was taking a
bath after returning from a visit into Haleakala Crater when "Flame"
came to me. This was 1989. At first the experience was strange to me.
Having communication with a telepathic time travelling being that looks
something like a 10 foot octopus is just a little surrealistic. However,
it happened. At first I had trouble because I was having difficulty
finding common ground even telepathically with this being even though I
have been perfecting telepathic communication since I was about 2 years
old. However, after he explained he was studying all my soul
incarnations I was able to put forth more effort towards communication
regarding that point of reference. Flame then mentioned about how he had
tried to save Maldek, the once fifth planet from our sun that is now
the asteroid belt. This really peaked my interest. I then asked him if
the survivors of Maldek came to earth. He said that since the shockwaves
from the explosion of Maldek as well as many pieces of Maldek impacted
the earth that most dinosaurs bigger than a dog perished within the next
year. He said he took the human survivors to the nearest non aggressive
planet for Maldekians. However, the Maldekians were not comfortable
there as they were made fun of and harassed by that planets original
colonists. This was mainly because the original colonists left Maldek to
avoid religious persecution much like many of the original colonists
who came to America. The Maldekians then begged "Flame" to get
permission from the Galaxy to give them earth since no technically
intelligent humanoids lived there yet.
Flame got permission from
the Galactic Government to allow the Maldekian survivors to settle on
earth. However, they could never legally own earth because of the
destruction of Maldek. They could only own their timeline. This was my
introduction to conversing telepathically with Flame.
Son of Flame or Purple Flame
The following communication took place on January 12, 2002
In
order to keep Flame straight from his son I am using the name Purple
Flame because if you remember, Flame's appearance is red and orange like
a flame with a blue beak and blue purple eyes. If you remember Flame's
name comes from the fact that when Flame moves he looks a lot like Fire
or Flame. Likewise, his son Purple Flame's name come from the fact that
his colors are predominantly purple and blue. However, his eyes are the
same purple blue as his father's and his moth beak is also blue. Purple
Flame wishes me to tell you how his intelligent species began. He says
that time is protected by the Galaxy so there is no danger of sharing
this now.
Though the octopi that Flame and Purple Flame sprang
from evolved on earth, something happened in 2002 at the Monterey Bay
Aquarium that changed this evolutionary process. Scientists found that
some octopi were very intelligent through playful experiments with their
"pets". One scientist found that one of his little Octopus friends
could actually take of the lid to a glass jar in a tank so he could
climb inside and feel safe. The scientist had an idea. He thought,"What
if I could train and octopus like an ape or a monkey or a dolphin and do
actual undersea work for humans?"
This one octopus we in our
species call "forerunner" or "prototype". The first is more our word the
second was more the human word for the octopus. "Forerunner" was
extremely playful and intelligent and loved that man who was a
scientist. They had a very fulfilling and harmonious relationship.
Hundreds of years later long after "prototype" and his friend had passed
on prototype's genes had been passed down through his mates and his
offspring. By 2300 there wer 150 living descendants of prototype. By
then the govenment had become interested in these obviously useful and
evolving octopi. They had been bred bigger for strength in doing
underwater tasks in Monterey Bay. "Prototype" had only been 2 or 3 feet
long. However, by 2300 prototype's descendants had been bred and
genetically altered to be three times as intelligent than prototype and
two or three times as big as "Prototype". Underwater devices had also
been designed specifically for this growing family of genetically
altered Octopi to do underwater work with. The "Prototype" family became
very valuable because robots had a short shelf life and these Octopi
had learned to train their young to use the equipment. All "prototype"
Octopi were rewarded with food if they did their tasks correctly in the
ocean. This gave all the "prototype" octopi the motivation to do the
work to survive and be fed good food. The octopus young were trained to
see their "work" as play that one did for food. So they learned to enjoy
there tasks.
These descendants of "Prototype" carried miniature
video cameras embeded like a third eye in their bodies. Humans could
then observe in their own good time the efficiency of prototype's
descendants on digital video feeds transmitted to their home offices
sometimes on the other side of earth from where the octopi worked.
Sometimes the supervisors were not human but human created constructs
that were either robotic or bio-robotic otherwise known as psyborgs.
Later this growing symbiosis between robotic, bio-robotic and octopus
grew eventually into something more like the beginnings of a
semi-society and civilization. By the year 2500 this symbiosis was found
to be very valuable and was used by humans in exploring and colonizing
aquatic worlds on other planets. Some of these aquatic planets were
abandoned by humans when the colonists either died or revolted against
earth.
On one of the planets on which the human colonists died of
a new disease endemic to that planet it was thought too dangerous to
retrieve the symbiosis of octopi robotic and bio-robotic lifeforms. It
was on this planet that we began to evolve all together without any
earth human supervision at all. It was in our individual and group self
interest to form even stronger bonds. Over thousands of years Prototypes
Octopi descendants grew in intelligence and continued to evolve
culturally. We developed religions and governments just like mankind of
earth. We also developed suits to move and survive in oxygen based and
other gaseous environments as well as in the vacuum of space.
Eventually, we developed space travel so we could travel back to our
homeworld, Earth.
However, when we finally made it back to earth
hundreds of thousands of years had passed. We had grown to be around 8
to 10 feet in length from our original 2 to 3 feet. We looked forward to
meeting once again with our human benefactors. However, when we
returned to earth all human civilization was gone. We also found a war
going on in the vicinity. Since we had mastered time travel as well as
space travel we hid in another time to avoid detection by the warring
factions. We traveled back in time to the time of prototype but there
was not way to communicate with prototype or his progeny on earth. We
were horrified at the slave master relationship that we perceived
between humans and prototypes descendants on earth.
We realized
that we had idealized humans humans incorrectly because of the total
lack of understanding of the octopi at the time. With our more
sophisticated understanding of equals as well as masters and slaves we
had to soul search how all this had come about.
During our
relentless study of time and all this we found a strange anomaly. One of
our future race of Octopi even more evolved than we were had actually
caused the introduction of humans onto earth millions of years before
"prototype's" existence. We saw that we must leave a message encrypted
for this future Octopus to bring the refugee humans from Maldek to
Earth. When the future time arrived and Flame was born our octopi seers
realized he was the one to renew the cycle that would eventually result
in our beginnings as a species on earth.Flame was chosen to be the head
time traveller for our civilization. He was to be called "The Protector
of All TIME" and was sent deep into the past to meet with a friendly
planetary culture. We also took the time to create a seed stasis culture
that would survive the mass extinction of our species in a future war.
This group of Learned Seers and their families took themselves to
another dimension to preserve our species. They stayed in contact with
Flame (The Protector of All Time) who would return to them in stasis
after he had saved the human refugees and placed them on earth. When my
father, Flame, returned to stasis he got together with my mother and had
me. Our stasis point is several million years in your future. However,
one of the anomalies of our stasis is that we can instantly contact
anyone in the Milky Way Galaxy in all time and Space. That is how I'm
contacting you now.
Conversations with Flame 8-13-2003
Flame
Speaks: "As I was growing up we used the grease pencils to write on
slate or plastic underwater just as our ancestors had been taught to
write by humans thousands of years before when our ancestors still lived
on earth. At the time I was born on our Aquatic planet, (We just called
it "home" in our telepathic language) there were only sea creatures,
our robot caretakers and ourselves underwater. We didn't concern
ourselves much with the birds and animals and other air creatures that
lived above the water at first. When the human colonists that came to
the planet with us died of some unexplainable disease we were left alone
and afraid. I was born about 10,000 years after tha last human
planetary colonist died. We Octopi worshipped humans as we believed they
had created both us and the sentient underwater robots that cared for
us and fed us. 75% of the octopi at the time of the "great Death" that
we call it died soon after the last humans died. They just could not
survive without their "Gods" the humans. I have been told by my parents
that since most of us then had been bred in captivity by that time for
over 1000 years that their was no memory left among any of us of ever
fending for ourselves in the oceans of earth or anywhere else. Anger at
being abandoned by our Gods, the humans allowed some of us to experiment
with new food sources. A few of us became cannibals and ate each other
but those ones were soon ostracized and eventually starved to death and
did not breed. Some of us discovered new food sources and others of us
tried reprogramming our large underwater robots to help us survive.
Through reprogramming our robots we found we could kill anything on our
planet that we needed for food. Our robots learned to kill sharks and
larger fish and whales and then the robot would bring it to us so we
could all eat it at once until it was gone.
However, by the time I
was born we had trained the sentient robots to raise food for us. I was
born into the leadership class of octopi. So I was sent to a special
school for octopi world leaders and diplomats. When a Galactic Time
Guard ship was sent to our planet to train a Galactic Octopus leader to
rule us I was chosen. I was very frightened to leave my planet to be
trained. However, my father said he thought I might be the one. He
brought out ancient prophesies for me to read from 8,000 years before I
was born which predicted that one of us would eventually join the
Galactic Time Guard and begin the human Octopi cycle once again on earth
through a trip back through time. In this way our Octopi culture could
repay what the humans had done for us by allowing them to live on earth.
Though
I was scared to leave my family and friends I agreed to go with the
Galactic Time Guard unti visiting our planet. As we left I had a funny
feeling that I might never see home again. Ten years later my culture
and species were wiped out by an invasion from another planet. I never
saw my parents or siblings again. However, after I saved the remnants of
Maldek I returned to my planet before the time in which I was born and
married and raised a family. My son and I then took colonists to another
planet so some of our race and culture could survive in a new home and
live and breed there.
When I originally went with the Galactic
Time Guard Unit I was not well treated because I was the only water
breather present. Some of the air breathers were afraid of me because I
could not speak or make any noises except by slapping my tenticles.
Because I was only telepathic they became very frightened of me. I
couldn't think in the ways of air breathers because beings who only
telepath but don't speak process information completely differently that
those who speak and breathe air. Though I survived the ordeal it
definitely was not pleasant. Eventually, we arrived on the training
planet and there I met other water and other types of liquid breathers
somewhat like myself. There I made friends and swam in schools with them
while we practiced our lessons. After several years I was sent on
missions for the Time Guard to aquatic worlds to protect the integrity
of Galactic Time. I gained quite a reputation for myself for efficiency
in my work. My relatives and I were always very methodical in our
operations plus we always went over in our minds we could think of
incase anything went awry. In this way we were always prepared for
anything, (we hoped).
I was promoted over the years and became
friend with many planetary leaders. When I was called on to help the
survivors of the planet Maldek, (the solar systems asteroid belt now), I
was the nearest Time Guard agent available. There was great distaste
dis-ease throughout the galaxy at the destruction of a whole planet. And
one that legally couldn't be brought back through time manipulation. No
one wanted the job of rescuing the survivors of a nuked planet in
pieces.
Even though I too was distressed at the idea of a whole
planet and its peoples and cultures gone, I knew the legend that one of
my kind would save the human race in the solar system by helping the
survivors move to Earth. So I altered time to arrive just after the
destructive event. I arrived exactly 2 hours earth time later. (We
Octopi still functioned on earth time to honor our human Gods) even
though the days and night no longer matched on my planet. In order to
compensate would would telepath: "Day and then time or Night and then
time". If confusion arose we would then say It is 4 hours after
daybreak. Even though it was very inconvenient we did this to honor our
human Gods for thousands of years.
I was horrified as I came near
to what was once the planet Maldek I saw millions of multilated bodies
and millions more body parts drifting in space. There were all sorts of
land a sea creatures drifing in space as well. Parts of the oceans
congealed in space like water tends to without gravity. Some of the sea
creatures of Maldek were in the water congealed. However, the oxygen
soon slipped away into space out of the water and the oceans eventually
froze in space because of the distance from the sun without a planet on
atmosphere to protect the ocean from freezing.
After placing the
survivors in my ship, I went forward in time to see what the solar
system would look like in 1 to 5 years. Pieces of Maldek hit Mars so I
knew the rescued Maldekians would be killed if we took them there. I
also noticed that pieces of the planet hit earth and killed off most of
the dinosaurs in North America. When I discovered this I got permission
to resettle the survivors of Maldek about 10 years into the future in
North America. I created two colonies, one on the western coast of North
America and one on the East Coast. I then had a large doorway brought
to the east and and one to the west coast where trucks could be drived
through the door and instantly arrive on the east coast or vice versa.
In this way if either colony was wiped out there would be escape to the
other in an emergency.
The recolonization effort worked out just
fine. However, when I asked for permission to try to prevent the war I
realized I wasn't thinking clearly. To make things worse the general who
gave me permission to try to prevent the war had been involved in
extincting my species on my home planet and wanted me to somehow self
destruct too. I think he was offended that we thought earthborn humans
were Gods. Anyway, I shouldn't have been given permission to change the
war. When I tried and failed, he pretended not to have given me verbal
permission to do so and I was left with no where to turn. As punishment
for my failure I was dishonorably discharged from the Time Guard and
given a small time ship to go out into space and to take my own life
somehow.
Instead, I decided to fly into a Star but at the last
moment I slammed through time only appearing to have died in the star's
heat fusion. I went back in time before I was born and returned to my
planet of octopi during its golden age and married and had children. I
then took several trips with all my children and anyone else who wished
to colonize another world and took them all to a water planet on which I
knew we all would be safe for hundreds of thousands of years. Since my
time ship had been given to me and was powered by a form of energy that
never runs out and is self maintaining, I decided to take my son and
return to earth to find out more about forerunner, the octopus of earth
who started our spacefaring race and aquatic culture. In the process I
found Jonathan on Maui in 1989 and began talking with him since I
recognized him as my own soul living another life there. Through
Jonathan I found out about King Interlaken, Arcane and even Eridian.
Truth is definitely stranger than fiction!
Note: Even though
this shamanic experience is now 20 years ago, it still makes me feel a
little uncomfortable. Because what I was told by this being was that in a
previous life I was Flame even though his evolution has not happened
yet in our time. He is a genetically designed evolution that started
with Northern Pacific Giant Octopus
begin quote from Octopus.com
Species
With over 200 known species we cannot list them all here, but here are the most commonly known:
COMMON ATLANTIC OCTOPUS (OCTOPUS VULGARIS)
The
Common Atlantic octopus can grow to reach 10’ or 3m in length when the
body and arms are measured together. They have a smooth body that
changes colour considerably to blend in with their surroundings. Common
colours include pink, red/brown, grey and even white with a green tinge.
Their arms are very thick and measure around 4 times the length of the
body with two alternating rows of suckers. end quote from Octopus.com
So,
it is interesting that an Octopus (octopus vulgaris) already is 10 feet
from the top of his or her head to the tip of it's tentacles without
being genetically engineered by humans. for more interesting facts about
the octopus including facts on its learning ability go to octopus.com
and wikipedia.com and any books on them or any experts you can speak
with.
