I was determined to keep asking questions until I got what I was after. I was positive that somewhere in the vast universe there must be creatures that were not humanoid. Ofcourse, there was always the possibility that Phil's subconscious was censoring and not allowing him to see anything which it considered to be unpleasant. We would describe to you one form ofa very highly refined and sophisticated creature, one very highly social in nature with a social structure which is what you might call reminiscent of the bee colonies on your planet. The social concept is so highly refined here as to compliment that of a colony of bees. What do they look like? We would say that byyour reckoning they might stand three feet in stature. They, however, are somewhat onion-shaped, ifyou can imagine a body being shaped as an onion with the broader part of the body being towards the ground, on agravity-based environ- ment. These bodies are, however, not motivated by propulsion as you would in yours. As they do not have what you might call "legs," but tentacles which radiate downward from the lower part of this body. : Something likean octopus or a hydra? That is accurate. These creatures are again very highly telepathic and have no equivalent sense of vision such as that which you have here on this planet. But instead are able to communicate strictly through the sense of telepathic means. You said they live in colonies. Well, how would they ... (He picked up on my next question before Ifinished asking it.) Nourishment is taken in through the tentacles, through the nutrients of the ground and liquids on the planet. It is taken directly in through the, what you would call "pores" of the skin. What they might refer to in equivalent terminology as "ports." : Do they have the colorofan onion? They are ofa somewhat gray color, were you to translate, for as we said they have no eyes. However, were you to perceive them through the energy translations they would appear somewhat grayish in color with a very coarse texture ofskin, which is due to the radiation of the nearest star. Their outer skin has adapted to this radiation by becoming quite coarse and dense in its outer- 186 The Keepers of the Garden in aphysical but a different type ofform. So I can adjutto that idea.
