them alien. One of them that sticks out in my mind was of a strange albino race, stocky oriental people with striking white hair and eyebrows. Wherever this place was, it was bustling with these people and I recall them appearing friendly, acknowledging that I was there. As always I could appear anywhere I wanted and view the scene from all angles but whatever view I chose, these beings knew of my presence. I couldn’t recognise their abode but it was a bustling and commercial town or city where everyone was industrious. They were all dressed differently but none of their clothing seemed to resemble anything from our time. At a guess I would have likened their outfits to smarter looking overalls with what looked like attachments draping from the collars and sleeves. The most noticeable aspect of this place was the people with their white hair, as there isn’t a race in our world that looks exactly that way. If you were to select a well-built Chinese person, and bleach their hair and eyebrows, they would appear as this race did. Ihave no real understanding of why I was ever sent to this place or what I had to do there but I suspect the stay was very brief. Looking back, it was perhaps one of those lessons in exposure where one has to become initiated or familiarised with other worlds or cultures. The oriental albinos could have been our tomorrow people. Perhaps I’Il never know. Another scene I recall being whisked off to that could have represented a future or even parallel existence was one of a huge outdoor festival somewhere. I remember being shown hoards of people gathered in a field partaking in different events like a garden fete. The people themselves looked normal and dressed no different to our era but there was another race amongst them that closely resembled apes. These were beings that actually talked, walked on two legs, and appeared quite articulate. If someone had lescribed this to me, I would have immediately thought of the “Planet of the Apes” but it wasn’t really like that. This race looked and moved far closer to actual apes than Roddy McDowall’s character and didn’t wear clothes like the films, just their natural fur. They intermingled with the humans quite freely but I had the impression they acted as servants or assistants to them. It seemed clear that these were second-class albeit respected citizens of this society and as soon as I recalled the scene I thought about our research into the evolutionary scale. Perhaps these were the next in line to evolve from apes the way we were said to have done thousands of years ago. Although I cannot say these beings resembled Neanderthals either. Perhaps somewhere along the line we will do something to boost the development of our closest species (chimpanzees?) allowing them to become humanised. Other than that, it might have happened on its own accord and what I witnessed was the 100
