My Creation Story

If each of us look deep enough into our lives we discover our own Creation Stories. Though the Creation story of your religion(if you have one) can be fulfilling, it can also give deeper meaning to one's life to discover one's own personal creation story.

I was growing wheat grass sprouts and went out with the hand crank juicer(wheat grass like you get in Jamba Juice outlets) and juiced some wheat grass into the green chlorophyll it comes out as. But as I drank it right next to the wheat grass sprouts I heard "We become one with you as you drink us. You are Avatar to the Creator." This had more significance to me after listening to the director of the movie "Avatar" on Charlie Rose on PBS on TV yesterday.

So I thought I would share my personal creation story. It has taken most of my life to understand and to tell this story. And each time I tell it I find it is better and clearer than before.

The story began when I was driving to Mt. Shasta, California from San Francisco about 20 years ago. It was late at night and I was near Redding on Interstate 5. The stars were out in force above me because at that time there was little ground light obscuring the Stars except for the few car and truck headlights near midnight while I drove.

I began to speak with a being of the Stars and the being told me my Creation story. Later when I checked I realized it was not just a story but also the way things actually are.

There is a race of beings that I call "The Creators". I call them this because they actually create Galaxies out of Dark Matter in order to feed on the energy moving toward matter and the energy moving toward antimatter. So, to the Creators, a Galaxy is a food source. The source being the energy in transit from dark matter to matter and from dark matter to antimatter. They live billions of years and are energy based beings themselves. So they don't need air, water, or a planet to live on.

I think the Greek Pantheon of Zeus and all was based upon contacts with them by the ancients. However, they are not mythical they are actual. And they can incarnate when they want to or need to as humans. I believe beings like Jesus and Buddha and others are incarnations of these Billions of years old beings. If you don't then that's fine with me. For why should you unless you have had an experience like I have.

I have written off and on about these beings including a present day being I call the "Galactic Sentience" who is the Grandson of the Creator of this Galaxy who actually runs the Galactic Government. Since they cannot be killed this is convenient for the Galaxy. If they die they die of boredom from being alive so long. One of the ways the really old Creators renew is to reincarnate as humans to experience mortality. Nothing perks up an old Creator like believing he or she is going to die.(Even though they can't really die from anything except boredom.

So, often they take incarnation on Earth and other planets in our galaxy as humans and other types of beings to extend their long long long lives. All galaxies are created and maintained by this race of Creators that sprang from Dark Matter which is the essence of all matter and antimatter in the universe. I think dark matter isn't a good term by the way. I think the word "Primal Sea" would be a better term than Dark matter but what I'm aware of isn't generally known yet by scientists. Eventually, I believe they will be able to prove what I'm talking about now.

video hacked predator Drones

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/17/drone.video.hacked/index.html

The problem of ALL weapons including nuclear, potentially time travel, and even predator drones is that sooner or later your enemy has one too. The first step in this is being observed now with the Predator drones(there are now thousands of them in existence).

There is recorded evidence of video hacking being done to the Predator Video Feeds. The same technology that allows illegal video and music hacking and downloading from Russia
is being used by Iran and whoever they give it to to in real time observe what predator drones see through their cameras. So, the Taliban and Osama are simply looking at where the Predators are looking and observing and making plans according to what it is Predators are observing at that moment or day or week.

It has been this way ever since weapons of any kind have existed. If you threw rocks your enemy would soon learn to throw rocks. If you had a bow and arrow, soon your enemy would have bows and arrows. If you had a cannon, forget castles, because with a cannon a castle is completely useless. And if you have good bows and arrows most Armor isn't any good anymore either because there are always chinks in any armor.

So, this progression of events really isn't good because what if a Predator gets into the wrong hands and targets a very important world leader? This is a real problem that all Free nations have to think about.

If robotic types of planes, rockets etc. get into the wrong hands the consequences to the civilized world could be as serious as 9/11 or even moreso. For example, imagine a Predator Drone with a nuclear tipped hellfire missile in the wrong hands or even a nuclear armed Predator flown into an important building. This isn't a happy scenario for any free world government.

When one is dealing with nations this likely would be less of a problem because if any nation eliminated a world leader that nation would just get flattened. But with Terrorists there is NO accountability and almost anything could and would happen.

This could be a real problem. So precautions need to be taken now so it doesn't ever get this bad.

Note: It also says that no American or Coalition soldiers lives have been jeapordized by these video feeds. Though that may be the formal statement from the Pentagon I find it through common sense that that is highly unlikely that it is actually completely true. However, it is important to note that our military has known about this loose cannon video feed being obtained by Iran, the Taliban, Osama Bin Laden and whoever else is watching and listening to these video feeds.

But because of the cloak and dagger nature of secret knowledges and operations saying that no American soldiers or coalition soldiers were jeapordized is probably the most useful thing to say even if in reality it might not be 100% true.


Quote from webpage at top of this article:
"In fact, in the Balkans, people with any satellite dish were able to intercept the communications from these systems, and watch special operations raids in Bosnia while sitting in their home," he said.

Another quote from same article:
While the CIA has never publicly acknowledged it, the agency operates the unmanned planes in Pakistan, where it has used drones to strike at Taliban and al Qaeda operatives, according to officials familiar with the strategy. But a U.S. official with knowledge of CIA and military UAV missions told CNN the drones used in Pakistan missions use encrypted feeds and are not vulnerable to hacking like the military drones used in Iraq. end quote.

If I'm reading this right the CIA Predator drones in Pakistan are protecting Pakistani Soldiers from being killed or injured by preventing the video feeds to be obtained there through encryption but coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are not being equally protected. I bet all Predator's video feeds are encrypted within the next 2 years to protect all Free world soldiers too.

Microfinance for The U.S.

One of the things our government talks about is that Banks will not loan money to small businesses. However, if you look back at people like Steve Jobs and Wozniak and also Bill Gates, you remember(if you were alive as long as I) that each of them basically started in a home garage or rented small garage or small office space.

To begin a cottage industry kind of beginning to a business, often one only needs from $1000 to $5000 to begin such a venture. I advocate that all regions of the country form Micro finance CO-Ops where people who still have money can pool small loans to prospective cottage industry small businesses. For every ten of these businesses that succeeds, one of them might become a million dollar operation within a few years per year. This is just the nature of small businesses. So, the important thing is that enough American Patriots get together as regional mentors to foster new cottage industry growth of either mail order, Internet order, or small manufacturing that can often be done in rural or in some cities and suburbs legally in a garage or small rented facility. By limiting start up loans to $1000 to $5000 one limits potential loss and liability and does what Banks are failing to do.

For example, a credit Union, or Union Credit Union might do something like this for out of work union members so they won't starve during this downturn.

I used to belong to an honest business Group out of UC Berkeley, called Briarpatch. We were always very interested in new entrepreneurs getting started and finding ways to help them through the first few years. I think this same cottage industry approach to business is just what America needs right now while Banks are comatose like Japan Still. Someone has to help the new businesses get started. This is grass roots pull yourself up by your bootstraps approach to the problem.

Micro finance has saved thousands of families around the world. It's time it saves some Americans from Starvation too while starting from the grassroots a few new businesses like microsoft and Apple to be here in the future for all of us like these two businesses have been worldwide since the 1980s.

The U.S. Issue at Copenhagen

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/climate

quote from "UN climate negotiators look to U.S. for Fresh Ideas" at yahoo news

"To pass a bill, we must be able to assure a senator from Ohio that steelworkers in his state won't lose their jobs to India and China because those countries are not participating in a way that is measurable, reportable and verifiable," Kerry said. "Every American — indeed, I think all citizens — need to know that no country will claim an unfair advantage." end quote.

I think this is the problem of Copenhagen in a nutshel. U.S. negotiators have absolutely NO Authority to authorize any agreement that doesn't legally bind all participants and allow legal verification. Without this, there WILL BE NO agreement with the U.S.

This is because only with the consent of Congress can it be legally binding to the U.S. in any way shape or form because of the way our laws both protect and define us as a nation.

Though demonstrators want the moon it cannot be without clearly defined agreements that can then be accepted by Congress. Otherwise it just isn't going to happen!

Scientists discover Earth-like, water-rich planet: study

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091216/sc_afp/scienceastronomy

PARIS (AFP) – Astronomers have discovered a new Earth-like planet that is larger than our own and may be more than half covered with water, according to a study published Wednesday in the science journal Nature.
The so-called "super Earth" is about 42 light years away in another solar system and has a radius nearly 2.7 times larger than that of our planet, according to the study by the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.
The discovery of the planet, called GJ 1214b, represents a "major step forward" in the search for worlds similar to the Earth, added the University of California's Geoffrey Marcy in a commentary also in Nature. end quote

new quote
Its density suggests however it "is composed of about three-fourths water and other ices and one fourth-rock," it said. "There are also tantalising hints that the planet has a gaseous atmosphere. end quote.


Though this is 42 light years away and is much hotter than earth and is 2.7 times larger than earth, still this is what scientists have been waiting for, an earth like water rich planet.

Castles to Cannons

A Poem -From Castles to Cannons written late September 2001

Times have changed
Hopis say swim in the middle of the river
Don’t hang onto the banks
Go with the flow
We are all swept away in the new tide
Fighting the changes only brings pain and hurt
Go with the changes
Build a new life from the ashes of the old

A new world paradigm builds
Just as it did in the early 1900’s
Everything has changed
And so have we

I find myself trying to cling onto a past now dead
A past I felt secure in
Nothing feels secure like it once did

I remember how feelings of security crashed during the Cuban Missile Crisis
And when the Kennedys and King died
But it was different than this
And those days are gone

I remember then how insecure we all felt in the 60’s
None of us expected to live to be 30
Many young people now may feel the same way
But I say to you truly
You will not die
You will just have to find a way to cope with all the changes
Just as we all did in the 60’s
Just as people have had to find ways of coping and going on
Throughout all past times
Things are just different now
They are not over
Just different

2002 thoughts

Snow Sunday February 17th 2002

Once I chose to live in the snow. The last year that was true was 1992. The place Mt. Shasta, a place I still dearly love. Today as I sit in my hotel room with my laptop and family I listen to the cannons going off here in Squaw Valley at 7:30 am this President’s weekend morning. It snowed all last night. It is the first snow I’ve witnessed falling peacefully out of the sky in about a year. Even though I don’t live in the snow any more I crave to see it come down at least once a year. I try to ski one weekend or two every year. Once I skied 2 days a week at least. Once I lived at 4000 feet in an A Frame I built myself and we’d get 7 feet of snow at a time. Sometimes we couldn’t get our 4 wheel drive unstuck for a few days at a time and had to ski out cross country style. Times have changed. Now I live within a mile of the ocean and have for 7 years. Life has changed for me but I still romanticize and fantasize about skiing every day and living in the snow and being a mountain man once again.

Copenhagen

I think getting anymore than we have this time out of well over 100 nations with different needs, wants and aspirations just wasn't realistic to begin with. Demonstrators causing problems I don't think really helped either other than to more fully focuse the attention on the problem by panicking the world populace even more than they already are on this subject, especially nations being destroyed right now by the problem like island nations in the Pacific Ocean and Bangladesh as well as many coastal Inuit small towns and villages and inland problems with melting permafrost.

I think humans are just now beginning to feel the real pinch and sting of global climate change. Though people are starting to actually die from droughts and bad water and water shortages in Africa, Asia, and even in Australia, much of the world in the U.S., Europe and China is less affected in real time by all the changes on earth. So, it is easy for some of them to say, "This isn't affecting me or mine so therefore Global Climate Change must not be real. Unfortunately, this is in the end just sticking your head in the sand like an ostrich and avoiding the real problems and real data.

Even if it isn't right now affecting you personally, people's myopic points of view will come back one day to bite them as the relatives and friends of the people dying on earth right now and in the recent past and future become more and more angry in a variety of ways.

In some ways it really doesn't matter at all what happens in Copenhagen because the anger of the people of the world is going to get more shrill and out of control by the day. It is in the nature of humans to be like this when something is seriously wrong like, drought or flood when so many different people are affected.

I am getting more and more worried for the human race as problems grow. Because if and as they are not dealt with, anger from all nations can only grow and grow. I'm worried that this problem won't be dealt with in a useful way before riots become more and more commonplace worldwide.

The Necessity of Democracy

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/15/opinion/15brooks.html


Begin quote from above article:
--the midcentury theologian Reinhold Niebuhr declared: “Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.”

As we look around the world we see the truth of this. However, it is also true that many nations have had to adapt democracy to their particular needs. For example, there is the English Style, The French Style, The German Style, the Italian style, the East Indian Style, the Brazilian Style, and the U.S American style etc. etc. etc. And there will obviously be many many more to come as it seems to be the only thing that keeps totalitarian ambitions in check and that also keeps greedy investors in check enough so all the common people don't just starve. The world right now is testing democracy in a very hard way. We will see in the amount of blood spilled or not spilled worldwide in the next 20 years what system emerges and what variations of democracy the people who survive will choose for themselves.

Macbook Pro

My wife had decided to give me a macbook, and even though I had seen a video of the making of the aluminum body Macbooks my son was telling me that the macbooks that have a white plastic body would be sufficient for me. Since he was a Computer Tech during his twenties(he is now mid 30s) I usually rely on his tech advice. However, when we went to the store that we usualy buy from they first thought they had one with a white plastic body left (they are about $999). But when he went to check he found it had already been sold.

So, since I had already been impressed with the aluminum body laptops, I decided to get a Macbook Pro, as it had a bigger screen and it would be easier for me to see better at age 61. They had a lot of free gifts if you also bought I think 3 year policy on it to cover any repairs necessary so I got that too.

My son had installed a partition in my dell laptop and had put xp on one partition and ubuntu on the other since one doesn't usually get viruses or other problems with Ubuntu. So I could primarily use Ubuntu when I was traveling the internet in my bedroom on my laptop or traveling the 50 U.S. states.(I don't take a laptop to Europe because often people's laptops are confiscated and almost never returned while traveling into or out of the European Union. My son suggested only taking a netbook into Europe so one couldn't lose a hard drive with a lot of personal information on it. A netbook only travels the internet and is a dead terminal so it doesn't have a hard drive.

Anyway, to make a long story short I haven't had a laptop for about 3 months and if my daughter is home from school(she is 13) I cannot use hers. With my Dell I had grown used to moving throughout the house using wifi or even sitting outside on the redwood deck in the back yard in the sun and writing if I could still see the screen in the sun or overcast day or night.

My son thought the Dell was dead at first until he turned the Dell hard drive into a slave of his PC and reformatted it. By doing this he found he could save my Dell. However, by this time, my wife and I had already to get me another laptop. Another thing he did that was really amazing was to install a 1.5 terrabyte hard drive in my Imac duo core pentium(It had only 150 gigabytes before and we had run out of memory by putting 3000 photos from France we took in October this year. So I first bought an external hard drive to put the photos on. Then, the same day we bought the Macbook pro we got a 1.5 terrabyte hard drive for the Imac duo core Pentium which is a ten fold increase in memory. However, he was amazed he was successful in installing the 1.5 terrabyte hard drive because on this one you have to go in through the led screen so it tested his abilities to the limit. So if you aren't already a master tech on Macs I wouldn't advise trying to duplicate what my son did. Though he was successful he was sweating bullets at the end wondering if the Imac would ever restart and reload. Because it is tricky loading the software too. Unlike a PC you have to tell it first to "erase" the new hard drive which is called "Format" in a PC situation. LIke I said he was very amazed to be successful but said it took him to the edge and wouldn't attempt something like this again.

wikipedia.org

I recently sent a donation to wikipedia to keep it happening since it is a non-profit service to mankind that many in almost every language on earth add to this incredible online encyclopedia every day. People say you can't always count on wikipedia for being accurate but this isn't my experience. My experience, for example, just a few moments ago my wife wanted to know when Pan American Airlines stopped being called that and I then wanted to know when TWA was absorbed by American Airlines. I could easily find that information. Also, almost daily I want to know the filmography of an actress or actor of any era from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries and I can always find out through wikipedia when they were born, what movies or tv shows they have been in and who they are presently with or married to. So, many arguments about who did what when are thereby avoided by simply asking wikipedia. Also,I'm always using wikipedia and Google maps to research facts whenever I'm writing something that I would like to be more accurate. This doesn't mean I always check facts or even always remember to check my spelling.(even though this problem comes from having won so many spelling bees at age 9 and 10. However, now at 61 sometimes spellings of words sometimes slip away from me. So, if I question my spelling I use google by typing in the word or just use the spelling checker(if it actually works properly all the time which most don't). I think the best spelling checker is only about 95% accurate in spellings and context. So, sometimes I get pretty frustrated with spelling checkers if I'm writing over 1000 words on something.

Anyway, the point of this article is to encourage you to financially support wikipedia.org so we all have this marvelously ever evolving information tool ongoing whenever we most need it. I have already sent them a donation. Remember, even if you are a college student you could donate even $1 and it would make a difference in keeping wikipedia alive ongoing for your research papers or other types of fact checking research.

May All Beings Attain Bliss

I see all prayer as a tool just like a car, a shovel, a computer, or a hammer and nails to use to accomplish a worthy goal. Understanding this way of thinking the following will make ultimate sense to you.

I realized that the first prayer I give when I wake up most morning is the prayer that is given to invoke permanent bliss for all beings in the universe, and what it means to me and how ultimately practical this prayer is.

First of all, words are POWER. What you invoke with words you bring into your life and consciousness for good or ill. Understanding this is a form of ultimate wisdom and is the key to your ultimate success or failure as a soul whether you are in a body or not.

So, when I discovered this prayer when I was about 33 years old I could analyze it from a lifetime of my parents teaching me about the full power of words and prayers and I could look at it both from wisdom, compassion and scientific design of my future and the future of all beings in the universe.

First let me give you the full prayer and then I will break it down into what it all means to me.


May all beings attain bliss and the cause of bliss
May all beings be free from suffering and the cause of suffering
May all beings never be without the supreme bliss that is free from all
near or far all grasping and aversion

If you are an aspiring Bodhisattva after giving this prayer three times you seal it with:

BY this merit may I become like all the Buddhas and Bodisattvas of the Ten directions and the three times---

I have found this particular prayer more useful and powerful in helping all beings in the universe in the past, the present and the future than any other single prayer I have found that is usefully given and empowered by millions and millions of beings every day.

So, now let me share what this prayer actually means to me:

May all beings attain bliss and the cause of bliss

What this means is that by saying this you are having compassion on all beings no matter what they have done and that as souls you wish for them to have bliss even if there actions and thoughts are so heinous that God will give them the second death, the death of their soul. Still, you advocate Bliss and hope for them. By doing this you also forgive yourself for all the very bad things you may have done in any lifetime past, present or future. This heals not only all beings by saying, feeling or thinking this, it heals you in the past, present and future of your soul. If you are evolved enough in consciousness to realize you already are everywhere in the past, present or future then you can actually experience the healing of souls everywhere in the past, present and future as you give this prayer each time. The feeling of peace and the ending of suffering is complete soul Bliss.

May All beings be free from Suffering and the cause of Suffering

In this you pray for the suffering of all kinds to cease through right perception of all life forms in the universe. For you know, as a soul that the primary cause of suffering is always perceptual and not physical. For the physical always follows the perceptual. So, by understanding the true nature of the universe all suffering begins to permanently cease right then.

Many teachers say, "Everyone is already enlightened all they have to do is to realize it!" It is as simple as removing the perceptual veil. Experience enlightenment. It is yours. Take it. Be it!

May all beings never be without the Supreme Bliss that is free from all near and far all grasping and aversion.

If you feel in any way that you do not have what you want it will bring you suffering. If you feel you are not with your beloved it will bring you suffering. If you are experiencing something you don't want it will bring you suffering. By realizing every moment you are actually with your beloved it takes away the sting. Suffering is therefore wrong perception of reality. By perceiving the reality that you want as ever present one takes away all suffering.

So, that does not mean one is unrealistic. NO. One still sees the world as it is. However, one also understands that all health, happiness, and enlightenment is perceptual at the same time. By realizing this more and more one's suffering diminishes every day one practices compassionate right mindful thought.

Since the reality is that there is only really one being in the universe of which all beings are like the brightly shining facets of this one diamond it can be very easy to experience oneself as the whole diamond as well as the brightly shining facet of the diamond as well because both things are always true.

The following is for more experienced prayers:

By this merit may I become like all the Buddhas and Bodhisatvas of the ten directions and the three times.

The ten directions is a way to navigate space whether as a soul or in a space traveling vehicle like a space ship or a UFO.

The three times are the Past, Present, and the Future.

The Buddhas and the Bodhisatvas are beings like Guatama Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, and all the Saints of all religions. So when you seal the prayer you are asking to be just like Jesus, Krishna and all the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times everywhere throughout the universe in all times and spaces.

When one first experiences the whole universe and all time and space as oneself it is a pretty heady experience so always be ready to be just a facet of the diamond as well because both are always true in every moment, past, present and future.

Aussie scientists find coconut-carrying octopus

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091215/ap_on_sc/as_australia_coconut_octopus

begin quote from above internet article:
Australian scientists have discovered an octopus in Indonesia that collects coconut shells for shelter — unusually sophisticated behavior that the researchers believe is the first evidence of tool use in an invertebrate animal. end quote

http://intuitivefred888.blogspot.com/2009/01/flames-land-suit.html

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.

286 AT

Though my first computer was a 4k TRS-80, a Radio Shack Computer in 1978. The first modern day PC we owned was a PC(personal computer) AT 286 clone assembled in Silicon Valley and which sold for $2500 when I bought it sometime around 1985. Though I taught all my older kids to program their own games in Basic language with the TRS-80 by 1980 to 1984 we were definitely ready for a computer with floppy discs, a mouse and a printer. Though it operated at first mostly in MS-DOS(Microsoft Disc Operating System), soon we bought a Windows version of that era to run on it which was a big improvement even though we also used MS-DOS for many uses, games and operations as long as the current Windows allowed that easily.

Tonight my son, now 35 and one year away from graduating as a nurse(he was a computer tech during his 20s) opened up my old AT 286, the one really old computer I have kept that long except for my most recent most recent 4 or 6 computers. We immediately realized that we couldn't operate it because mouses are no longer in the serial bus mouse format(most are USB now which wasn't likely then in public release or possibly even invented yet then). Also, we remembered that it was a 20 megabyte hard drive which he eventually upgraded into a 386 with a 120 megabyte hard drive sometime after we returned from living in Hawaii in 1990. We also realized that a different type of keyboard was used then as well. And we don't have any keyboards of that type left. So we neither had the right mouse or the right keyboard anymore to operate it. However, we could plug in a small flat screen and we would know right away whether it was still working as the 386 with a 120 megabyte hard drive that we modified it to years ago. However, though the power supply still worked since we didn't get out images out of the flat screen we realized that something had failed during the last almost 20 years since it had been an AT 286. However, it was fun to see if we could still get it to run as a 386.

We used it until we bought a 486 in the early to mid 1990s. However, the 486 is now long gone.

Chapter 3 Flash Forward to 2035

Chapter 3 Flash forward to 2035

At this time, Lilu, Pearl and Silver all live in the New York Penthouse with Silver.
Both Rex and Pearl are now 64. Since Lilu is 8 years older than Silver, she is now 43 and their two children , a girl and a boy are 17 and 15 years of age respectively. Silver had children very young as you can see. Silver sees himself as two different people. One person lives in a virtual reality and is raising a family that he can relate to (at least his wife and kids) and the other is when he visits his Dad on his Ranch in Wyoming. Rex spends more and more time there but visits every few weeks to a month with his family in New York as well. Yes. Rex survived okay once he brought his son to Wyoming and introduced him to the healthy country part of his family heritage. In Rex's and Silver's family, Wyoming was a place to ride horses, hike climb, play and recreate, and New York was a place to work and do business and go to Broadway Plays and fine restaurants. So, this was what New York became for Silver when he and Lilu returned. Likewise, he and Lilu and the kids went to Wyoming to the family ranch whenever the kids weren't in school and Silver didn't have some kind of business deadline that he couldn't take care of online at a distance.

Nada had been born when Silver was 18 and Bob had been born when Silver was 20. Lilu had been 26 when Nada was born and 28 when Bob was born. The Grandparents were Rex and Pearl, the parents had been Silver and Lilu, and now the children are Nada and Bob, The names of the four "children" in "The Magic Presence", the book.

So, one might think that the Great Grandparents names must have been Rex and Pearl also. One would be right.

However, Lilu is still two people: the Goddess and the nurse and now the mother(which also aligns well with both Goddess and nurse. And Silver was two people(at least) now the agoraphobic Manhattan Penthouse Genius and a mountain climbing Wyoming cowboy.(Very eccentric). He still asked to be medicated between JFK Airport and the Manhattan Penthouse. And when he talked about Wyoming it was as if he was talking about another planet. It was as different a description as the Nabi were to the soldiers of Earth, though in a different way.

Though Lilu and Silver love their children and tried very hard not to make the mistakes of their parents, two and two don't make four they sort of make 8.

So, the children Nada and Bob have come to see their parents as both very rich and very eccentric people. Their father couldn't have been more intelligent creative and unusual if he were Michael Jackson and Lilu, their mother couldn't have been more beautiful and Goddess like if she were Elizabeth Taylor when she was Lilu's present age, 43.

More later.
