FOREWORD

One of the biggest changes in my early life was to stop accepting verbatim the much vaunted scientific explanatory theories of others on our evolution. Then being fed up and with the inquisitive ignorance of not knowing, I started to ask why. In many respects, one question led to another. Let me give you an example. Ever wondered where you came from? No, this is not the usual question from a four-year-old child; however, would it surprise you to know that we did not develop as a race from Africa as has been theorized by Darwin? This can be a little hard to accept in just one sentence, so once again, I’d like you to consider another piece of our planet’s remarkable history.

While much of humanity on earth has evolved through many levels of progression, there are indigenous cultures or societies that even today have remained relatively unchanged for many thousands of years. What is remarkable is that during this same period in the last five thousand years or so, other advanced societies that were in many respects ahead of their time have risen only to suffer a setback in their progression. In continuing to challenge the accepted evolutionary views, we are going to critically examine another part of our history without trying to rewrite it. Take a moment and come with us now to explore yet another of the many great enigmas in our global histories, while questioning the views of the so-called experts.

The Great Pyramid of Giza

By today’s standards, we would consider ourselves a fairly modern society. If we wanted to build a forty-eight-story tower or office block, we would have extensive plans for design and construction. Architects and engineers would be retained to consider structural soundness issues and whether the site is subject to erosion or possible seismic damage over time. The building would be designed to meet an exacting standard for the operational strength of the finished structure. Materials, including interconnecting concrete slabs, would, of course, be designed with precision. All these considerations would be on the plans, wouldn’t they?

Yet our society is already demolishing some of our buildings, and they were not erected with this stability as long ago as 4,500 years. The site at Giza was one of many surveyed by the renowned Egyptologist, William Mathew Flinders Petrie. His extensive work in the 1880s to survey this and other sites were distinguished for their accuracy and methodology. Maybe the Great Pyramid was designed to be preserved and secured for a different length of time and for a different purpose? Let’s find out.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems easy to speculate on how this pyramid was created as so many already have. However, the following queries go to the very heart of the initial concept before the whole construction process started. Just for a moment, allow your mind to go back to a time when a society, according to Darwin, would normally lack the means to construct a structure of this type.

No one has yet been able to say why with definitive certainty; however, one needs to critically examine the simplicity of the reasons given so far. So let’s look at a time before it was conceived and remember how a forty-eight-story building is constructed today; then I would ask you to consider the following:

(1) If it was not a Dynastic Race and evolutionary man’s construction and engineering methods were so advanced, then why not their social engineering or their industrial and manufacturing base? Where are the records of their planning and education of their wider community, including their economic advancement in their expanding provincial region of influence? Why does this wider development seem shrouded in mystery, and why did their ideals and beliefs not permeate and penetrate throughout the globe like later societies with their various religious beliefs?

(2) In a paperless society, where are the original concept design plans for the Great Pyramid? The heart of this puzzle rests with the superior knowledge and substantial expertise of this advanced society at the time by believing in the preservation of the remains. While the last 2,000 years or so have helped paint a picture of Darwin’s evolutionary theory, we have the evidence of a construction, far ahead of its time, which defies any explanation from an evolving human intelligence from Africa.

(3) Where did the concept, shape, and design originate? The structural design although different is not unique to this regional area. Similar-shaped structures of different sizes have been found in other parts of the world, including South America and in some cases going back even further in time than the Great Pyramid.

(4) How would this early society have achieved structural alignment to the north or south rotational axis of the earth, and why would they use knowledge of astronomical true north in a technically advanced construction 4,500 years ago? Without a compass of any kind, what was their understanding of near universe geography in a supposedly primitive time? While it is true to say that there are volumes of works on these issues, how much of it is based on the reinvention or rewriting of history? How much of history is conjecture, assumption, and opinion, leaving only the facts to be verified or uncovered?

(5) How were the massive casing stones cut with precision to fit into a near seamless pattern and, as described by Flinders Petrie, equal to opticians’ work of the present day but on the scale of acres? As a race, we have only recently learnt to measure the surface area of the original structure of the Great Pyramid with this pinpoint accuracy. So where does this exactness come from with primitive methods? If you subscribe to Darwin’s theories of evolution, then the precision-cut technology simply was not known to them at that time, 4,500 years ago. Apart from the theory and the pyramid, where is the verifiable expertise recorded and passed on for the precision-cutting methods at that time?

(6) How was the site leveling to support a mass of nearly 2.5 million cubic meters or weight of 5.9 million tonnes done with this certainty, accuracy, and precision? We have about 2.3 million carefully cut blocks of stone, sitting on a faultlessly engineered base. If constructed over a twenty-year period as stated, that’s more than twelve blocks per hour, day, and night, or 800 tonnes of stone cut and laid every day. Many will accept that it was the work of the natives, 4,500 years ago. However, it is worth looking past these theories and examining evolving societal behavior further.

(7) Now back to the earlier point mentioned about indigenous societies—Flinders Petrie with his firsthand experience was considered a controversial figure at the time because he believed that the origin of the Pharaonic culture was from an invading Caucasian origin or Dynastic Race which conquered Egypt. This view was seen as contentious by some at the time because it conflicted with the theory that all (modern man) was a derivative from African origins. It placed him at odds with Darwinian theorists and ahead of his time. The great pity here is that although Flinders Petrie was partly right, any view which deviated from the accepted theories tended to be pilloried and derided without due consideration to other original thought. For some of us now in our society, we have reached an intellectual flat point where theory is taught and accepted as fact, particularly when evolutionary theory is still just that, theoretically and speculative. The Great Pyramid as it stands is consistent with advanced influence and supremacy of thought; however, it is inconsistent with Darwin’s theory of evolution that can be shown to have grown with an expanding race over time from Africa.

(8) It is inconceivable that we can have early records from later progressing societies and yet little evidentiary support of the broad-scale advancement that this construction implies. To say that 100,000 workers spent twenty years building a pyramid is a theory. It is conjecture looking at a reality with a hypothesis and assumption through a rearview mirror. We must be prepared to accept that man did not evolve over time from Africa because it represents a conflict of ideas in our society’s advancement when considering aspects of our ancient history.

(9) What would motivate the senior levels of a society with such high levels of skill to spend twenty years, as stated, just building a tomb? Some of the internal granite blocks weighing between twenty-five and eighty tonnes were excavated and transported from Aswan, more than 500 miles away. Regardless of the endless statistics, this would have been an enormous project, even if undertaken today. It is now certain that some are trying to examine history, which for 4,500 years is beyond the ability of a simple planetary, evolutionary theory.

*     *     *

With these questions, we are not asking what happened in Giza because we can all clearly see that it is there. The evidence is a little hard to argue with. So we know where and approximately when. However, how it was done and the many reasons why it was built as it was still remains a mystery to many. So when you get down to a society with no advanced dimensional measuring devices to calculate or excavate, except with the primitive aids that they are supposed to have had, then the who becomes the biggest mystery at the time, doesn’t it? Because the limestone bedrock base was leveled flat to put up a structure of the stated weight and tonnage.

Who, How, and Why

If you were to look at the burial sites of more modern-day heroes, like Kennedy, Churchill, or Peron, any analysis would certainly show the treatment of the remains with respect. As examples, these individuals, who were both loved and respected by many, were buried relatively simply in comparison to the Pharaoh Khufu. Whether it was in a simple plot, vault, crypt, or a mausoleum, it shows the respectful treatment of a physical presence which has come and gone. It suggests that a pharaoh, who, for twenty years before his passing, commits 100,000 workers to build a permanent structure just as a tomb has to be reconsidered. These individuals were expected to ultimately survive this internment in a chamber positioned far above ground within an impregnable structure.

Remember this that the Great Pyramid of Giza was the highest building construction in history for the next 3,800 years. Their thinking as a society was completely removed from any origins in Africa.

There’s nothing in the intelligence of the Pharaonic culture which had its beginnings in human evolution from Africa. So consider that if the progression theorists were wrong, then the answers to the mystery of the Great Pyramid are in a place where they have been reluctant to consider. This pragmatic concept has more substance than just the parochial naturalist’s approach. Maybe after 4,500 years of trying to figure this out, the Great Pyramid is not so much built as a tomb but as a permanent structure, like a halfway-house, between one place and another. Its structure is consistent with a time frame with which many still remain unfamiliar. The Pharaonic culture had advanced knowledge of and believed in the geography of the stars for a reason.

Outer earth sciences will become a study subject of choice when our societies advance and mature well beyond where we are today. When our planet finds a tolerance of diversity with mutual respect, we can articulate globally with a shared language. Then finally, to speak in unison with one voice, we will all have advanced. There are so many experiences in life beyond our planetary boundaries, which, as a society, many are yet to comprehend. For some of us now remaining on our planet is like living in a cocoon of magnified intellectual intransigence.

ABOUT THE CENTRAL CHARACTER

Michael’s early years

Michael’s quest to explore our human genetic heritage began in earnest as a student while studying science with his lifelong friend John Bran (Oats, to his friends). Oats and Michael enjoyed a very close and enduring friendship built around this fascination which they both had for the mysteries of science. Both men approached these mysteries from vastly different perspectives. Michael often thought that the only way Oats’ mind was going to reach escape velocity on the issues surrounding the cosmos was for Oats to be more flexibly open-minded.

Oats accepted the more traditionalist views, whereas Michael had a burning desire to go beyond what we know. To explore a vision, his reality could logically accept. Michael’s quest became an elusive crusade because the real answers weren’t easy to find.

Michael’s first mission (Return of the Light Prince)

Michael, when meeting Janet, was able to open up about his hopes and dreams. He discovered that they both shared many common pursuits. Janet saw romance in the stars where Michael was fascinated by the complexity of the cosmos. Janet and Michael were quickly drawn to each other and captured by the same quests. Many happy and romantic experiences rapidly grew between them.

In unusual circumstances, Michael met an elderly man named WIL who was much more than he seemed at the time. WIL offered Michael an opportunity to follow his quest, and then Michael went back to get Janet so they could follow this quest together. Michael was soon to have a number of missions, each one more adventurous and revealing than the last. Michael’s first mission tested his character and resolve, while proving an inspiration to an important young man named Mharn. It was much later in life, while reminiscing about his past adventures, Michael received another visit from WIL and a chance to be of service once more.

Most importantly for Michael, he found the answer to his initial quest in this first mission that Darwin’s theory was completely incorrect, that there was indeed another, less obvious, and much simpler answer to the origins of mankind on earth. Now that Michael’s mind was rich with more queries, with each answer gained, it gave him an infinite number of further queries to follow. After his first mission, the excitement for him continued.

Michael’s second mission (The Ascension of Mharn)

Michael’s second mission quest spread beyond planetary evolution. The basis of his passion and desire to return was this—knowing how life started on earth was one thing, but how did it start in the galaxy? The more Michael thought about it, the more urgent this ongoing quest became, because for him, what we have in the cosmos doesn’t seem to be an accident. Michael’s second mission brought him closer to these answers.

The Big Bang Theory for Michael lacked plausibility and became discredited. While his amazement with the complicated universal architecture of the cosmos continued, Michael found that in science, there was never just one Big Bang. Those who understand gravity and have experience of explosive matter in a vacuum can work this out. The pattern structure of the cosmos for those who study it closely, know that the complex composition of particle matter is symptomatic of a much more orchestrated beginning.

While the universe for Michael did not appear to be an accident and did not result from one Big Bang, it is equally of a design, expanse, and magnitude, which Michael did not fully understand or comprehend as yet.

Michael’s Third Mission (A Convention of Elders)

Michael’s third mission was temporarily interrupted at an early stage when his old friend Oats was found to be suffering in poor health. Michael became emotionally distraught as a desperate attempt was mounted for a dramatic rescue to save his old friend Oats. Now encountering this third mission, Michael was encouraged to examine the comprehensive dynamics of the galaxy to a greater degree—not only the structure but its cultural diversity. He found that humanity comes in many diverse and characteristic forms. On the outer reaches of the Kindred Spirits system existed the most distant planet of Troth. Forgotten by many and neglected by most, their time for cultural reform had finally come. To Michael’s surprise, the citizens on Troth were an intellectually gifted race. To understand how superior intellect’s fashion mind-sharing was important. With the aid of Janet, and the ancients through Pim and Mharn’s network of friends, Michael strived to see if these many civilizations could face the never-ending challenge of finding harmonious existence. Young passions and enchantment would continue to flourish with some very moving, romantic, and magical twists. Genuine legitimacy would intensify as the demands for change in Michael’s mission forced a compromise on this advanced society.

Michael found the limits of human endurance when this oppressed society on Troth had finally suffered enough. When the worst in a corrupt administration try to manipulate resources, power, and control, they ruin and destroy life and existence for many ordinary people. It will be a question for each of them to consider. To what lengths will ordinary people go to regain their liberty? At what point is the average individual intimidated enough to take a stand for freedom and fight for justice, hope, and their survival? Michael finds out that not everyone survives as he discovered the future is nowhere near written. How will the ancients respond to this oppression by members of humanity? Everyone in this distant society has the chance to impact on their hopes and dreams in so many ways, now as this third mission begins.

OTHER CENTRAL

CHARACTERS AND THEMES

Pim (Pimeron)

Pim first appeared to me as a beautifully feminine, glistening image, who I once described as having all my sexual fantasies rolled into one. At this early time, I had no idea about ancients (those with a past life), and we found Pim as an ancient was able to form both as an image and sometimes as a physical presence. She had phenomenal warmth and sensitivity which became more evident as she gradually let us into the closeness of her past life.

Each moment of our missions that Janet and I shared with her, Pim gave us an infinitely better understanding of our challenges. No concept was too difficult, and no question was left unanswered. Pim was filled with the rich diversity of character values and a compassionate understanding for the complexity, which is the essence and universe of humanity. Pim has been resolute in her determination to instill these values whenever the opportunity arose, and I was soon to find out that my whole purpose so far was building toward something singularly spectacular.

The Corillion

WIL is the leader of the ancients on the massive planet of Kindred Spirits, and the Corillion is his intergalactic ship. In many respects, it was magnificent, and in every respect, it was inspiringly impressive. My favorite place was the Map room which contained a mind-reading image. It worked from your thought processes and ran with your mind to find the answers to all your questions.

Then, in each suite, there was the IR (Image of Resolution) medium which was a disc, which, when stood on, lit up like a glistening transparent image before it transported you to your next destination.

Mharn and Karina

Mharn grew as a gifted student and asked his childhood friend Karina from a different distant clan to join him in a Union of Companionship. They shared a strong early friendship and then a growing love
