  perpetrate the species. Like vegetation that produces huge numbers of seed so that some plants could grow past the point where they might be eaten, and bear new seed, non-carnivore species had little hope of continuing unless they did this. However, beyond the hoofed herds that could outrun or form a circle to ward off the attacks, and thus could

  perpetrate themselves, and beyond bugs that multiply easily with mass laying of eggs, there was yet another

  evolutionary technique that allowed survival - sleep.

  As Darwin has pointed out, those features that survived passed on to the next generation. Those creatures that crawled

  into crevices and slept escaped notice of carnivores during the dark periods when a sense of smell could allow a

  carnivore to locate a meal, and lack of sight would prevent an easy escape for the meal. A sleeping creature is quiet,

  passes the time without being restless, and conserves energy. It simply developed that sleep was a positive evolutionary

  technique, and these genes passed even to carnivores due to the branching trees of evolution not being a straight line,

  but criss-crossing. Today's meal can become tomorrow’s carnivore, via evolution. Evolution then took advantage of

  the sleep state, likewise benefiting those creatures so they evolved. The creature who was highly alert during wake

  states was more likely to:

  1. get their own meals,

  2. avoid being eaten,

  3. find a mate and

  4. keep their young close at hand and safe.

  The creature who was slow during wake states would conversely:

  1. starve,

  2. get eaten,

  3. not propagate,

  4. not rear young.

  In order to be highly alert during the day, the body then needs to do certain functions during sleep. It is not that the

  evolving body decides to do this, it is that those bodies that mutate and do this are selected by success to spread their genes about. What processes does a body need to do, that could be put off until sleep state? Sorting out the events of

  the day, in the brain, is one such process. Physiological functions are done during sleep also, like kidney or liver or

  digestion, but this type of function creates little interest in curious man, who wonders, rather, about their dreams.

  Oversleeping, the desire to escape, leaves man sluggish. The body has learned to adapt to sleep, doing physiological

  functions during this time. It is expected, by the body, that a matching wake state will be in place, so does not always have a dial to stop the sleep state functions if oversleeping occurs. Thus, lack of sleep, or too much, can create chemical imbalances in the body, so the body does not feel well. The giant hominoids on the 12th Planet do not sleep,

  as we have mentioned, but go into rest states. As can be discerned from looking at the shape of their heads, long and

  narrow rather than round as are humans, they did not have the same evolution. Mankind was engineered to survive on Earth, and some of the engineers created separate brains, the subconscious and conscious, which are physically

  separate brains. These giant hominoids do not have this separation, but likewise are more slow and less alert than many jittery men. Should you associate with them on a daily basis, this would be noted.

  ZetaTalk: Dreams

  Note: written on May 15, 2002

  Where the brain functions during the day, it is like a computer collecting data but keeping it all in memory. During

  sleep, the data is tucked into databases and cross-indexing is done. The soul does not go Out-of-Body during sleep state, contrary to what many suppose. The soul in a normal incarnation is fascinated with the body, and the action of

  tucking way and reliving the day's events is likewise fascinating. While the brain is having these memories sorted out,

  the conscious mind is treating the replay like an occurrence, a dream. The subconscious does not need the tucking away into databases that the conscious does. The subconscious in fact gets it all straight and is aware all the time. It is the conscious that needs sleep, as it has learned to take advantage of the sleep state. Humans who wake during these

  states recall the replay, and try to find meaning in it. In that the most imperative action an evolving creature on Earth had to do was survive, the first memory to be tucked away and processed at night involves surviving.

  During sleep, the brain is also communicating with other brains, via telepathy, as the Alpha wave is predominant and this is the state used during telepathy and meditation. If two humans connect on the same wave length during sleep,

  one may begin to tape into the reply the other is experiencing, and take a trip, so to speak. The meaning of a dream

  can thus be:

  1. the dreamer is sorting out his day, and the replay is a piece of something that happened during the day, or related

  information in the databases of memories that has been dragged out to be integrated.

  2. the dreamer is following along with someone else's replay, having been made aware of this because the other has either thought about the dreamer, or they have shared experiences.

  Thus, in deciphering what a dream might mean, one must take into consideration the possible origin and not take it too seriously if it appears to be simply the tucking away of the days' events.

  Recall from the subconscious, such as a contactee does or an ex-amnesiac does, where the memory is recorded only in the subconscious and not at all in the conscious, creates a different kind of "dream". During hypnosis, or meditation, or when coming out of sleep, a contactee will allow the subconscious to function, while damping down the conscious, turning it off and clearing it so it is, essentially, idle. When the subconscious replays a memory it holds, the conscious is thus experiencing, and recording, for the first time, this event. Thus, the funneling of memories are full, including touch, smell, and not just the types of memories the conscious is trying to sort out during sleep state. Why don't

  normal dreams include such features as touch and smell? These sensory memories are tucked away during the day,

  being without association in complicated connections. They are simple, and have only a slight connection to what we

  could call the resident memory of the day, not yet processed in databases. When the days events are replayed by the

  conscious, during the tucking away time, the connections to smell and touch are retained, but do not need replaying.

  They are simply reconnected to the database location, not resident memory, to use computer system analogies.

  However, when an event is relayed from the subconscious, this is not the case, so the conscious mind must get all these peripheral part of the memory - touch and smell and the like.

  ZetaTalk: Faith Healers

  ZetaTalk: Faith Healers

  Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

  The dramatic moment is well known to humans - the faith healer approaches another riddled with disease or stricken

  with a new affliction, lays on hands, and the pain and disability are gone. Is this fraud? Yes and no. Given the driving

  desire of the afflicted to be relieved of their distress, it is no surprise that con men and women arise to take advantage.

  This is a scenario well known to humans, as it is much played out in the movies where almost invariably the faith

  healer is revealed as a charlatan.

  But there are cases where measurable changes
take place in the afflicted, for various reasons.

  First, the affliction may have a psychosomatic component, and the healing can be nothing more than the

  afflicted deciding to abandon a self affliction. By this we mean that people can choose to afflict themselves, as

  punishment or to evade responsibilities or for whatever reason. Dramatic improvements can ensue, such as

  remission of cancer, but where the faith healer is given credit for this it should be born in mind that such

  remissions occur without the help of faith healers. Most, if not all, diseases have a psychosomatic component,

  and are thus susceptible to be influenced by a changed psychological state.

  Second, the affliction may have been imaginary, a call for attention, and the faith healing put the supposedly

  afflicted one in a situation where they could receive more attention for being healed than for being afflicted.

  Third, the faith healer may have adjusted the alignment of the mind and spirit within the body, by essentially

  having a conversation with the afflicted's mind and spirit and assisting in the alignment. This is nonverbal

  counseling, on a mental and spiritual level.

  How do the body, mind, and spirit get misaligned? There is a tug of war, of sorts, between the various parts of man.

  The body, which traces its ancestry way back, wants to live simply and to focus on bodily comforts such as shelter,

  food, rest, and sex. The body cannot be truly put aside without repercussions. Its demands are ever present and

  pronounced. The mind, which has been superimposed on the human body by genetic engineering, has its own life and

  is driven by curiosity and obsessions. That the mind has a life of its own can be demonstrated by placing a puzzle

  before a bright, curious human. The human will ignore defecation and urination demands, hunger, and the need for

  sleep in order to complete the puzzle. The mind and body can work together, and most often do, but can at times pull

  in opposing directions. Now comes the spirit, incarnating. Yet another focus, which may be in sync with the body, at

  times, as in the desire to commune with another of the opposite sex when both are, as you say, horny. The spirit may

  also be in sync with the mind, at times, as when the desire to be of service to others melds with the opportunity to do

  research.

  But the body, mind, and spirit may all be pulling in different directions, and thus make the body sick. The faith healer

  discerns the misalignment and discusses this, nonverbally in most cases. Counseling occurs, with suggestions on how

  better to proceed. As the faith healer may be in touch with higher entities, they can be assisting in this action, the faith healer having in essence given The Call to those in the Service-to- Others. The faith healer convinces the parts of the

  afflicted to adjust to each other, so that the mind and spirit take each other and the body into consideration more

  effectively. Were this to be a verbal communication, there would not be so much mystery about faith healing, which

  can and does occur.

  ZetaTalk: Yin- Yang

  Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

  The Chinese put much faith in the influence that Yin and Yang have upon their existence. This concept is an offshoot

  of the Buddhist philosophy that balance is everything. Problems are looked at as an imbalance, and the solution

  returning to balance somehow. Thus, Yin and Yang are superimposed on all of life, on social interactions in particular,

  and even on the seasons and weather. If a group of school children are boisterous and aggressive, their Yin is tempered

  with more studies in art, inserting Yang. If a wife is sullen and brooding, her Yang is tempered with more outings into

  the vibrant city, more Yin. If the spring came early and the fields are unprepared for planting, this Yin is handled by

  the farmers Yang, by meditation in the fields. Does all this help? It can't hurt, and in the main tends to focus humans

  on the spiritual aspects of life.

  ZetaTalk: Karma

  ZetaTalk: Karma

  Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

  Under duress, and having experienced a shattering blow of some kind, humans often ascribe the cause to karma. There

  is bad karma and good karma and this explains everything, or so they hope. Could it be that life is so terribly

  unpredictable? Why would a benign God throw them into such a situation, create such an erratic world? Yes and no,

  there is karma. Karma is at play where the human causes the situation in some manner, by their prior actions in this

  lifetime. Karma is not at play when the life situation occurs because of acts of nature or the actions of other humans not directly involved in the situation at hand. We will give examples.

  Karma. A man is greedy, always seeking to maximize the goods that he can call his own. Materialistic. In the main he

  succeeds in becoming a man of means, and secretly gloats over his ability to charm or manipulate others so that he

  succeeds. Then one day he finds himself a pauper, having been outdone by one with greater charm or manipulation

  skills. Is this karma? It is indeed, as the man brought this down on himself by amassing goods and bragging about. He

  essentially placed a sign where everyone could see, saying come steal from me. It would also be karma if a former

  business partner, having been left bereft and financially devastated due to the actions of the greedy one, arranged for

  the greedy one to have marital troubles. Where one's trouble can be traced directly to one's own actions in this

  lifetime, that is karma.

  Not karma. A woman desires children, and in due course marries and becomes pregnant. Through a throw of nature's

  dice, one of her conceptions has an extra chromosome, and is a mongoloid, retarded. Friends point out that she was not

  a scrupulous housekeeper, or perhaps was torn between her career and family duties, and that her misfortune is karma

  as now she must stay home and tend to the new youngster, who needs constant care. Another example is a car

  accident, where one is driving down the highway and, rounding the curve, finds themselves head on with a drunken

  driver. Did the victim cause this accident somehow? It was simply a matter of time and place, a throw of the dice.

  These situations do not involve karma, not even as retribution from a former lifetime, which never occurs. Each incarnation is truly a fresh start.

  ZetaTalk: Archetypes

  Mail this Pageto a Friend.

  ZetaTalk: Archetypes

  Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

  Archetypes are common human experiences, in the form of humans whom others interact with or observe. These come,

  in the examples below, from the child's knowledge of mother and father figures, and from memory of childhood,

  whether from self or of a brother or sister or playmate. All have these archetypal concepts, from these common human

  experiences. Verbal and written stories are rift with human archetypes. In the day and age of the video and computer

  games, these media are also rift with archetypes.

  Archetypes may be exaggerated in their characteristics to heighten their uniqueness. Thus, in the examples below, the

 
Mother, whose uniqueness is her desire to care for her charges, is described as caring less for her personal appearance.

  The Father, whose uniqueness is his desire to protect and provide for his charges, is described similarly. The Hand

  Maiden, whose uniqueness is the subservience that comes by nature to the weaker sex in a physically or socially

  immature state, is exaggerated into downcast eyes and such compliant manners that her masters assume loyalty.

  Mother: Even before archetypes of things to be feared, we have loving archetypes. The reason is simple. Most

  humans, if they are to survive, are given such love by a mother or mother substitute. This archetype is seen most often

  as a woman, frequently older, gray haired to some degree, a little overweight, paying attention to the charges given her

  rather than to herself. She deals with food stuffs, is frequently in the kitchen or around the campfire, and is never at a loss for a tasty item of food to give to a youngster.

  Father: Likewise, the infant, if it has survived, has encountered in person the archetypal father. This archetype is burly, strong if not smart, and very protective. He may be gruff, frequently is at a loss for words, and like the

  archetypal mother, cares more for the charges given him than for himself, and most certainly for his physical

  appearance. He needs a shave, or in the olden days, needed to get his beard trimmed. He is a bit unwashed. His shoes

  laces or boot straps may be frayed. He's been busy. When the family circle is threatened, father steps between the

  threat and his family. He sacrifices his life to give his family a get-away. He is non-competitive, allowing his young

  sons to watch him at work, and assist.

  Young Boy: This archetype is active and curious. He gets into trouble, not because he is a trouble maker but because he has an active mind. His curiosity gets the better of him. He climbs over fences and through windows, the urge to

  explore greater than any warning he may have been given. He is courageous, not actually from ignorance of danger,

  but because his curiosity is the greater force. He is slender, rather than fat, and scruffy, showing the typical veneer of a young boy - scratches, scuffs, and dirt smudges.
