At the first Wizard Course, 1991:

I want to start by telling you "the story."


This particular story has been rising and reappearing in the race consciousness
since before the time of the Pharaohs. Everyone who has ever sought to tell a st
ory has ended up somehow telling part of this story.
Many writers tell this story camouflaged with fiction.
It's the story that is contained in our collective subconscious in the form of a
rchetypical images, vague recollections, hunches, instincts, subtle recognitions
.
It is probably never put into the same words in the same way twice. It doesn't h
ave to be, because there are no truths to be found in words. Words are only fing
ers that point at experiences that echo our own truth back to us.
Sentient beings first appeared on the core worlds of the Milky Way galaxy. The c
ivilizations of Earth are the result of a much later refugee relocation plan tha
t I'm going to tell you about.
"Sentient" means spatially aware of creation. In other words, conscious across a
distance, perceiving, sensing. A sentient being is a union between a non-materi
al soul-being, YOU, and a biological organism.
The soul-being may or may not have the illusion of being dependent on the organi
sm.
The consciousness that exists on the core worlds of the galaxy is somewhat diffe
rent from what we are normally familiar with in the mid-pancake-Earth-type-world
s of the galaxy. And it is vastly different from the type of consciousness that
exists in the rim worlds of our galaxy.
The reason for this difference in consciousness arises from the physical charact
er of the galaxy.
At the core of the galaxy, the electro-magnetic and gravitational fields tend to
be in perfect balance. There is no centrifugal energy. No spinning masses, no r
otating worlds, no revolving planets. Force exists in balanced, unchanging vecto
rs. Stasis. Equilibrium.
At the core of the galaxy, motion is a characteristic found only in living organ
isms. If something moves, it is alive. Our collective consciousness still has th
at instinctive response to motion. It's alive!
In principle, you could connect the core worlds with a silk thread and it would
remain perfectly intact until some living organism altered it. Most of us still
have some archetypical images of walking through a nearly motionless world.
Move beyond the galactic core and go further out, and you begin to encounter rhy
thmic motions generated by powerful forces. Spinning begins. Centrifugal forces
and gravitational forces react and influence each other. New vectors result. Cur
rents of energies intersect, accumulate and flow.
Electro-magnetic rifts produce violent phenomena. Mass attractions cause tides a
nd geological grinding that produce worlds of tumultuous change. Worlds collide.
Suns nova and implode. Meteorites impact planets, and explosions tear worlds ap
art. There is a lot of motion in this region, but only a negligible amount is at
tributable to living organisms.
The Earth is found in this mid-region of turbulent forces. This is a relatively
quiet period right now, but a geologist will tell you that this has not always b
een the case, and a geo-physicist will tell you that it won't last forever.
If you like, you can think of this relatively quiet period of Earth as a launch
window for life to evolve and to recall its mission. That's why we're here. Ever
y time the mission is forgotten, Wizards will appear.
Q: From your studies you know that a thought in consciousness is something.
It actually has some very slight mass, an infinitesimal weight. If we had a scal
e that was sensitive enough we could put you on the scale, and you could think o
f something, or remember something, and we could measure the weight of that part
icular thought. That's a heavy thought, huh?
We could also, with the proper instruments, note a disturbance in your body's el
ectro-magnetic field, its relative density and its resistance. All from thinking
a thought. Don't be surprised if someday you run into an instrument that can be
pointed at someone and will give a readout on what they are thinking.
Theoretically, an Avatar Master can take an Avatar and put him on a scale and wa
tch him get lighter as he discreates beliefs. Actually the Master does see the A
vatar's body grow less dense and wrinkles disappear from the skin.
The basic observation here is that when a belief is created, it has the potentia
l to influence, and be influenced by, forces and energies that may be beyond the
control of the belief's creator. (I'll demonstrate that to you when we talk abo
ut personal identity.)
Do you remember the line in the Creativism book that says thoughts come from bel
iefs? That beliefs are seedpods of thoughts? Belief pods that shed thoughts on t
he currents of the mind. Remember?
Well, there are a number of ways that a belief can be coaxed to shed thoughts. F
or example, the soul-being --you-- can focus a flow of attention on the belief,
and it will begin to transmit thoughts. Another example: another soul-being can
telepathically focus attention on a belief, and it will transmit thoughts. But t
here are forces, besides attention, that can come into play. Certain physical fo
rces, either directly or by your reaction to them, can cause a belief to transmi
t thoughts. These thoughts are a type of secondary that you are probably familia
r with;
Beliefs are affected by changes in gravity, by changes in electro-magnetic conce
ntrations, by centrifugal forces, by certain frequencies of energy, by perceptio
ns, even by some unknown forces in the galaxy. Each of these forces can cause a
belief to suddenly activate and begin to generate thoughts. Do you know what I a
m saying?
This is the truth behind astrology. One can knowingly predict when the changing
forces of the galaxy will cause a certain belief to shed certain thoughts. Thoug
hts that become default primaries --as opposed to deliberate primaries-- which i
f not altered will manifest a specific reality.
Now, if we relate this to the differences found in consciousness, we find that p
redicting the forces of the universe is a simple matter in the core worlds--simp
le, because the forces do not change. They are in balance. An equilibrium. There
's no factoring in of centrifugal deceleration, no wandering comets or asteroids
, no imploding suns, etc.
In the core worlds, there is nothing to cause a belief to transmit thoughts othe
r than the deliberately focused attention of a being.
Now, if you think of the tides in an ocean and the way that the sun and the moon
keep the oceans moving, and the effect of our sister planets, and sun spots, an
d storms arising, and heating and cooling, volcanic activity, the mass of the co
llective consciousness, you realize that on Earth there are a lot of factors tha
t can cause beliefs to fill the mind with thoughts.
And even though only a few people recognize their random thoughts as sparks brou
ght about from the friction between their beliefs and certain forces, that is wh
at they are.
On Earth we've grown used to unpredictable, even violent, tides of thoughts bein
g randomly wrenched off our beliefs, creating adversarial realities and dreams.
Such occurrences in the core worlds would be quite distressful. There, the idea
of an unpredictable response or reaction would be quite illogical.
In the region of the rim worlds of this galaxy, thinking is spectacularly chaoti
c. It is virtual madness. Only soul-beings who have totally discreated all trans
parent beliefs and all identities can live in this region with any safety.
So our galactic stage is set.
It is the time of the first Galactic Confederacy.
In the relative terms of time and space, the events of this story are history fo
r the core worlds of the galaxy, but still part of the future for our planet Ear
th.
Like all events, they travel in a wave, ripple-of-physical-present, outward from
the core worlds. Light images that travel at 186,000 miles per second! Because
they have not reached us yet, they are still in our future.
Intuitively, the events are accessible in the spiritual NOW of our collective co
smic consciousness.
Since the opportunity for the role that we may play has not yet fully arrived, w
e may speak of these events as things that will happen. I will, however, speak o
f them as events that have already created one version of reality in the collect
ive mind. But I will also remind you from time to time that as a Wizard who trav
els between the ends of time, the past is no more fixed than the future. So we b
egin...
Every story must have a miscalculation. A tragic flaw. And the subtle irony of o
ur story is that the miscalculation was, or will be if you watch from Earth ring
side, that there is no concept in the core worlds of miscalculation! No concept
of random or inappropriate thinking. Not even the experience of a single
dream.
The beings of the galactic Confederacy ran their minds like precision instrument
s. No spontaneous thoughts arose because there are no random gravitational force
s in the core worlds to generate them. The mind was a tool. A creation. A wareho
use for beliefs. Nothing began nor ended that was not accomplished by the delibe
rate will of the soul-being. The consciousness of the core worlds existed as a p
otential, rather than a kinetic, ability.
The beings of the Confederacy were able to effortlessly focus their thinking. Fo
cus it very precisely, regardless of how many beliefs their minds contained. And
their attention did not wander, was not subject to attraction or reaction to an
y thought or idea. When they created a belief about something, they could leave
it without it ever shedding a single uninvited thought. Thus they could create c
ontrary, conflicting, or contending beliefs and never experience the slightest m
ental confusion.
Beliefs that do not shed thoughts never come into conflict with each other. They
are inanimate creations, mental possessions.
The cultural measure of wisdom for the Confederacy was how many beliefs did a be
ing possess. There was no secondary generation of judgment about the rightness o
r wrongness of a belief.
Literally, they strove to believe everything. For them, the quantity of beliefs
was more important than any imaginary quality. Not to possess a certain belief w
as a symptom of an Incomplete mind. True wisdom was to have every possible facet
of belief or viewpoint about something.
The idea of standing up for or holding only certain beliefs about something woul
d seem very strange to a member of the Confederacy.
And so there's the miscalculation. They miscalculated that a miscalculation was
possible.
They continued to create and share every form of belief. Their wisdom expanded,
and they accomplished great scientific achievements. Each generation expanded up
on the total sum of knowledge. Eventually, it was reasoned, the sum of knowledge
would grow so large that a single member of the Confederacy would not live long
enough to assimilate it all. That is when the Confederacy adopted the technique
known as stimulus indoctrination.
With stimulus indoctrination, the instructions and data that a person required t
o perform complex functions could be transferred in a matter of a few hours. The
process was similar to going to a cinema, except instead of popcorn there was a
hyper-sensitizing drug, and the theater was filled with a high-vibrational plas
ma of synthetic mental energy. The pictures on the cinema screen ran at several
hundred times normal speed. The data was mentally implanted in the viewers.
Because of the pleasure involved and the tremendous increase in ability, the pop
ulations of the core worlds widely indulged in stimulus indoctrination. At first
, the films were instructional documentaries--how to program a computer or to re
pair a space drive. Something like that. Later the films became escapist theater
offering memories and events of adventures that really never happened.
Later still, when the Confederacy first began to experience the disturbances, th
e films became manuals of military instructions and political indoctrinations.
The scientific minds of the Confederacy failed to predict the full consequences
on consciousness of massive amounts of stimulus indoctrination. They assumed tha
t they were dealing with a one lifetime organ called a brain. They did not reali
ze that the implants were actually interfering with the mind-generating blueprin
t of a soul-being.
The problem was that biological organisms die, but the soul-beings re-assumed ne
w biological organisms and carried forward the programming to generate a new min
d with the same old stimulus indoctrinated beliefs. And then in the new lifetime
more stimulus response beliefs would be programmed.
If part of the training a soldier in one lifetime was to blow a whistle stimulus
to produce adrenalin and the soldier attacked, and the stimulus for training a
factory worker in another lifetime was to blow a whistle and everybody went on b
reak, you can understand the guilt and uneasiness that this would cause somebody
who carried both programs. It wouldn't be much of a break!
Now add to this the fact that the galaxy was expanding and new gravitational for
ces, the disturbances, were beginning to upset the collective mental stability o
f the core worlds...
This was the miscalculation that led to the contraction of the core Confederacy.
This was the serpent in the garden. The serpent represents stimulus indoctrinat
ed beliefs coiled in the mind ready to strike. The garden of Eden refers to the
collective consciousness of the core worlds before the disturbances.
And so the archetypical patterns of our own history begin to emerge.
The outer rim of the Milky Way galaxy started to slow, and solid masses with gra
vity began to condense from large dust particle clouds. It was a snowballing pro
cess, slowly at first and then more rapidly. These events caused violent gravita
tional disturbances that roll across the galaxy in falling domino fash ion. When
the balance of gravity was disturbed in the core worlds, spinning began. Soul-b
eings lost mental control.
Lifetimes of stimulus indoctrination caused minds to over-excite.
The disturbances, as they were called, came in two major waves approximately 20,
000 years apart by our measure of time. The first was the worst. The core worlds
lost contact with the Galactic Council and almost immediately fell into anarchy
. A succession of semi-psychotic civil authorities struggled to gain control but
only accelerated the disintegration. Civil wars and bad decisions were the fare
of the day.
Many civilizations tumbled into an oblivion of chaotic disorder and would again
start at the bottom of the cultural ladder that evolution follows. When the dist
urbances abated, groups would reform and follow the long path through the age of
the hunters, the age of the gatherers, the pastoral age of the shepherds, the a
gricultural age of the farmer, back to the industrial age of the scientist.
Thus all of the core civilizations arrested their development in an industrial a
ge. The barrier to an enlightened age was the collective belief that sciences an
d technologies could solve every problem.
But there were doubts.
In reality many of the scientific solutions created new, more critical, problems
to be solved. A self-perpetuating cycle began. It led to an even greater emphas
is on the application of sciences and technologies for solutions. More and more
science. Civilizations hung on by a technical thread.
There are only two directions in which an industrial civilization can go. It wil
l evolve into an enlightened civilization, or it will eventually face an apocaly
pse of its own design and tumble backwards into its own debris.
There was only one planet in the core worlds that made the step. One civilizatio
n where the collective consciousness freed itself from the shackles of belief an
d evolved into an enlightened age. Only one! Its name was Estro-Companion!
The rest of the worlds celebrated their scientific discoveries and proudly displ
ayed their accomplishments.
But go their own ways they could not, for the second wave of disturbance began t
o hit the core worlds. It was far less powerful than the first and spared a smal
l circle of worlds around Karsak of Triton. Only on these worlds did the obsessi
on with science continue.
The remaining civilizations of the Confederacy realize they were trapped on the
worlds at the static core and that safe space in the galaxy was shrinking.
To condense the history of the centuries that follow, let me say that whenever y
ou find civilizations that imagine they are facing a limited amount of a critica
l resource, generations of wars and national intrigue follow.
Karsak of Triton became a fortress world, full of refugees from the outer planet
s. Inflexible judicial bodies decided the fate of who could stay and who had to
leave. Millions are cast out. Cast into the outer darkness to fend for themselve
s. Fates are dark and uncertain.
But on Estro-Companion a different history unfolds.
Estro-Companion was never more than a Confederacy outpost on the fringe galactic
core. Because of its great distance from Karsak of Triton, and its small budget
, its populations had only a limited exposure to stimulus indoctrination.
From the time of the first disturbance, Companions were abandoned by their Confe
deracy rulers. The Companions had no choice but to cope with the gravitational d
isturbance. They refer to it as the time of the first lesson.
And so in a way, fortune also favored Estro-Companion, and as the first disturba
nce abated, the beings on this world matured, and for the first time a civilizat
ion of the galaxy evolved into an age of enlightenment.
Companions came to understand the effects of gravity on beliefs. They learned to
stay out of their thoughts and to balance the energies created by their beliefs
. So effective were their techniques that by the time of the second disturbance,
life continued without interruption on Estro-Companion.
In the final years of the Confederacy, stories of Estro-Companion passed among t
he civilizations of the core worlds. It was considered a miracle that Estro had
survived both the first and second disturbance. Estro assumed mythical proportio
n, and counsellors and advisors looked to it as a great source of spiritual insp
iration. It became the goal of many sacred pilgrimages, but because it was in th
e region of gravitational fluctuations, only the strongest willed could reach it
.
The word "angel" has its root in the word "Estro". Stories of Estro-Companions a
re the intuitive source of our collective conscious ideas of "heaven". They are
the archetypical source for our concepts of angel-companions or guardian angels.
The Companions became spiritual teachers and traveled throughout the core worlds
. It was said that they could cross the bridge that links minds. They were consi
dered wise advisors, and their lessons were respected. To seekers of wisdom they
taught the lesson of presence in presence which offered a safe perspective from
which to view thinking. To the powerful they taught the advantages of compassio
n. Soon their influence reached as high as the inner circle of the "Supreme Gala
ctic Council on Karsak of Triton".
To the Supreme Galactic Council, the Companions were valuable in another way, in
a very practical, scientific way.
The Council reasoned thus: because the Companions knew the secret of operating w
ithin changing gravitational fields, they were able to travel to the outer core
worlds and beyond. They could overcome the catatonic space madness that incapaci
tated the pilots and navigators of Karsak's space fleet. They could make valuabl
e scientific observations from worlds that had been abandoned! They were valuabl
e to the Confederacy.
So these two factors, the fanatic dedication to scientific progress by the Karsa
k Confederacy and the mental abilities of the Companions came together. It was a
n alliance so important that had it not been forged, the rest of history would b
e nothing more than a diminishing ripple in time.
The finest achievement of the alliance was the construction of a spectacularly e
quipped space fleet crewed by Companion pilots.
Shortly the Companions began to explore and to colonize the middle regions of th
e Milky Way galaxy.
They sowed the seed of life on thirty-three worlds, including our planet Earth.
Regrettably, the evolution of the original lineage of intelligent life on Earth
was later interrupted and destroyed by refugee colonists transported by the Comp
anions as an act of charity.
These colonists were a group of soul-beings that the judicial bodies of Karsak e
xiled--a contemptible lot of felons and insane. They leave only slight physical
traces in Earth prehistory of, their invasion, but their genetic ancestoral infl
uence on Earth civilizations remains to this day. But this is another story.
Back on Karsack. In a last great outpouring of scientific research, the great te
chnical minds of Karsak of Triton tackled the problems of creating timecraft. An
d in a huge aerodrome on a moon of Karsak they finally succeed, but not without
creating some new mysteries. The Companion test pilot who pushes beyond the boun
daries of time is not the same one who returns. Also, they do not understand the
ir constant feeling of deja vu or do they understand where the Companions go...
These are mysteries they never solve. For they were also about to disappear, not
into time, but into the apocalypse of their own self-perpetuating scientific en
quiry.
Nine hundred centuries after the appearance of sentient life in the core worlds,
the last days begin.
Problems. Solutions. Problems. Solutions. Problems. Sol...The Karsak of Triton b
light bomb!... End of line!
The blight bomb was probably an accident. It probably wasn't even a weapon. More
likely it was some idle scientist's investigation of wave frequency and genetic
patterns. Regardless, it was the all-time serendipity of mass destruction.
It started a chain reaction that discreated, at a very ancient primary level of
consciousness, the blueprint for the chemical process of photosynthesis.
Everything green died.
The blight spread by a low order telepathic chain reaction from gene pool to gen
e pool, from civilization to civilization, from one core world to another, radia
ting from Karsak outward.
Karsak of Triton became a great gray stone, much of its population dying from st
arvation. Synthetic chemical diets prolonged the inevitable for a few.
This is the archetypical apocalypse that echoes back to us from the words in our
religious books.
But there is a ray of hope for lifekind. Estro-Companion!
The frequency of the collective planetary consciousness of Estro-Companion cause
s it to be immune to the blight. Estro-Companion is spared. The blight returns t
o a dormant state and settles back into the primitive consciousness from which i
t was awakened.
But it is not over. A growing circle of Companion test pilots, whose eyes have b
ecome windows into time, recognize the ever lurking danger--in the absence of en
lightenment, the blight may reawaken and destroy the mid-worlds.
They accept the responsibility that fate has dealt them. They vow a mission to c
arry enlightenment to the mid-worlds. The vow is allowed to sink deep into the c
ollective living consciousness as a seal upon the self-destruction that must not
be reawakened.
The pilots explore time end to end. And on occasion they visit a port in time, a
huge aerodrome on a moon of Karsak, and pick up another craft for their fleet.
Always they search for those points in time and realities where there is the opp
ortunity to remind and to perform their mission.
This is the mission: To assist any civilization that has reached its technical m
aturity to pass safely into an enlightened age before it destroys itself.
I remind you that the Earth is a nursery for life. That its photosynthesis is st
ill intact.
You are going to find that you have a complete recording of all the events my wo
rds have pointed to. All you have to do is learn to listen and look in the right
direction.
