tion to impart to these individuals. And itwas decided that a slow, but steady ascent in consciousness raising would be more appro- priate than to simply bombard or overwhelm these primitive societies with knowledge from the stars. So the information given was somewhat limited to very practical and useful areas, such as foraging and gardening, for examples. These were some of the first. As the societies developed it was seen that there were those who were keepers of the knowledge, a select few who were fully aware of the implications of these visitations. Then through the gradual uplifting of consciousness in these individuals, it was possible to slowly broaden the discourses during the visitations to eventually include the positioning of heavenly or celestial bodies with respect to the planet Earth. And so itwas eventually possible to school these primitive societies in advanced astronomy, c 1 for example. Why was that so importantthatthey know aboutthe positionsofthestars? Many people are quite aware of the influence of the stars on human events. It is now called astrology. But it was known toa degree far greater then than it isnow, and was much more accu- rately used. It could be calculated by noting the positions of the planets and the stars. The nature ofthe energies coming into the earth made it possible to be able to predict the nature of that Se D: Were there any other skills or knowledge that were taught these people? P: There were many different areas which were available at that ae wed wad tae a tt time. Many areas which would be considered surprising by today's standards for such "primitive," quote, unquote, peoples to have utilized. The practice of dentistry was taught, such that extractions were done with minimal discomfort And extractions were then replaced after preparation and repairing of the dam- aged teeth. It was then possible to replace these teeth such that they would continue their living functions. This is now being learned once again at this time frame on this planet. (This was a surprise.) You mean these were notfalse teeth, these were the originalteeth. How did they minimize the pain? There were, as there are now, many natural herbs and ingred- ients which could deaden the e pain when taken. -Such as cocoa oe alae wo = = ott. eee 166 The Keepers of the Garden which was to occur. leaves and many other herbs known today which cause a similar effect.
