the indigenous ancestors of today’s hybrid hominids. They didn’t actually intend to destroy the original species - they intended to lay their fixed patterns upon this dreaming planet which was in perpetual flux in order to protect their dreams of ‘stability’. A long time ago, when that planet fell, there were many Dreamers there who were capable of living in different body shapes - that were accustomed to living ina three dimensional space rather than a two dimensional one, like on the surface of a planet. A lot of them were accepted here, drawn by the intense spiraling focus of the Earth’s dreaming consciousness - a swirling miasma of energy - once transient, they incarnated into forms of those most conscious beings who lived in three dimensions, the mammals of the sea. Now at this point there is an interestingly linguistic key; which is the letters EL or AL - the force, the energy. Now Set was actually one of Isis’ sons originally, which is why Ocdi- pus, Akhnaton and incest in general tie in with this closely. It is used as a way to fix traits which have been grafted onto a rootstock species, so that those forms may persist through time regardless of their ‘fitness’. We’re all a genetic self-experiment, after all; the intersec- tion of the individual bodies of different group minds. Al- though the humans of Sirius originated here, they departed this place long ago. The Imperial energy of the Eagle is their legacy. Their society hadno place for change, so those among them who could not fit in but showed redeeming qualities were Placed in the equivalent of a penal system. Their officers survived in outposts on partly-terraformed Mars for a long time; then, when the Empire departed, they were left to their own devices - they went wild when they encountered the Earth, and were not prepared for the garden into which they fell. Some learned to live here, become one with the Earth - others attempted to perpetuate the known, familiar and logical order of the system they had known and overlaid it upon the Earth’s apparent chaos. Their actions are reiterated down through the ages by their children, the conquerors who must at last learn to be peacemakers. The 144,000 who fell here when the comet flew past must give the best of themselves, not to themselves. The end of their world was described in great detail in an ancient tome which was copied, altered and adopted by later religions. It has been mistaken for a book of future prophecy; Revelations is a waming history of past apocalypse, not a directive for the future! The consequences of grafting different strains of humans are all around you; the reason for this separation, distillation and reuniting of different strains of humanity in Gaia is that this Earth is more precious than most conceive; itis one of the very few planets which resonates and creates hominid bodies down through the ages, a space-time landmark and the true home of hominids - away from its field the species decays over time. And the Earth is the rootstock of many species, not just primate, It will be here for a long time to come. Will you? Issa: I may travel, But I like it here. U.M.: As do we all. The Garden Gaia is a womb from which many mysteries spring and to which most ultimately return. NEXUS New Times Nine-1989 a
