  This talks about the first people on Earth and
is a continuation of the material about our past.

.....................................................

             The first man on Earth
  Once comfortably re-established in the Haalis,
the relaxation room previously described, Thao
began her strange recital.
  "Michel, 1 350 000 years ago precisely, on the
planet Bakaratini of the constellation Centaur, a
decision was made by the leaders of that planet,
following numerous conferences and reconnaissance
expeditions, to send inhabited vessels to the
planets Mars and Earth.
  "There was a very simple reason for this: their
planet was cooling down internally and would become
uninhabitable within 500 years. They thought, with
good reason, that it was preferable to evacuate
their people to a younger planet of the same
category..."
  "What do you mean by �the same category"?
  "I will explain later, to do so now would be
premature. Going back to these people, I must
tell you that these beings were human - very
intelligent and highly evolved. A b-ack race,
they had thick lips, flattened noses and frizzy
hair - resembling, in these ways, the bl-cks now
living on Earth.
  "These people had inhabited the planet
Bakaratini for 8 000 000 years, in co-habitation
with a yellow-colored r-ce.
  "To be precise, this was what you call on Earth,
the Chinese ra-e and they had inhabited Bakaratini
for about 400 years prior to the bla-ks. The two
r-ces witnessed numerous revolutions during their
time on the planet.
  We tried to provide relief, assistance and
guidance but, in spite of our intervention, w-rs
broke out periodically. These, along with the
natural disasters occurring on the planet, served
to thin the ranks in both ra-es.
  "Finally, a n-clear wa- broke out on such a
grand scale that the entire planet was plunged
into darkness and temperatures fell to minus 40
of your degrees Celsius. Not only did at-mic
radiation destroy the population, but cold and
lack of food accomplished the rest.
  from page 30
  "It is a recorded fact that a mere 150 bla-k
people and 85 yellow people survived the catastrophe,
from a population of seven billion b-ack and four
billion yellow humans. A register of survivors was
taken just before they began to reproduce and when
they had stopped k-lling each other."
  "What do you mean "killing each other"?
  "Let me explain the whole situation to you
and you'll be able to understand better.
  "First of all, it is important to explain
that those who remained were not, as you might
expect, the leaders, well protected in specially
equipped shelters.
  "The survivors, comprising three groups of
blac-s and five groups of yellows, had come,
some from private shelters and others from large
public shelters. Of course, at the time of the
wa-, there were many more than 235 people in
shelters: indeed it is believed there were over
800 000 in all.
  Following months of confinement in the darkness
and intense cold, they were eventually able to
risk going outside.
  "The blacks ventured out first, finding almost
no trees, no plants and no animals to speak of,
on their continent. It was a group, isolated from
their shelter in the mountains, who first knew
c-nnibalism. Because of the lack of food, when
the weakest d-ed, they were eaten; then, in order
to eat, they had to ki-l each other - and that
was the worst catastrophe on their planet.
  "Another group, near the ocean, managed to
survive by eating the only living things left on
the planet, which were not too contaminated, that
is, the molluscs, some fish and crustaceans. They
still had unpolluted drinking water thanks to
very ingenious installations enabling them to
obtain water from incredible depths.
  "Of course, many of these people still di-d, as
a result of lethal radiation on the planet and
from eating fish which were filled with
radioactivity.
  "Much the same course of events occurred in
the yellows" territory; so that, as I have said,
150 -lacks and 85 yellows remained, then finally,
de-ths resulting from the w-r ceased and
reproduction began again.
  "All of this occurred, in spite of all the
warnings they had received.
  It should be said that before this almost
total decimation, both the bl-ck r-ce and the
yellow ra-e had attained a very high level of
technological advance. The people lived in
great comfort. They worked in factories, private
and g-vernment enterprises, offices - just as
happens now on your planet.
  "They had a strong devotion to money which,
to some, meant power and to others, wiser, it
meant well-being. They worked on average 12
hours per week.
  "On Bakaratini a week comprises six days of 21
hours each. They tended to the material rather
than the s-iritual side of their existence. At the
same time, they allowed themselves to be duped
and led in circles by a structure of p-liticians
and bureaucrats, exactly as is happening now on
Earth. Leaders fool the masses with empty words
and, motivated by greed or pride, they "lead"
entire nations towards their downfall.
  "Gradually, these two great rac-s began to
envy each other and, as there is only one step
from envy to h-te, eventually they ha-ed each
other so much and so completely that the
catastrophe occurred. Both possessing very
sophisticated arms, they achieved their mutual
destruction.
  "Our historical records show, then, that 235
survived the disaster, six of them being children.
These statistics were recorded five years
afterwards, and their survival is attributed to
ca-nibalism and certain marine life.
  "They reproduced - not always "successfully"
as it was not uncommon for babies to be born
with horribly misshapen heads or ugly weeping
sores.
  They had to endure all the effects of ato-ic
radiation on human beings.
  "One hundred and fifty years later, there were
190 000 b-acks - men, women and children, and
85 000 yellows. I speak to you of this 150 year
period because this was when both rac-s began
to re-establish and when we were able to help
them materially."
  "What do you mean?"
  "Just a few hours ago, you saw our spacecraft
stop above the planet Aremo X3 and take samples
of soil, water and air, did you not?" I nodded.
  "Then," Thao resumed, "you watched as we quite
easily annihilated a mass of giant ants as they
attacked the inhabitants of a village."
  "Indeed."
  "In that particular case, we helped those
people by intervening directly. You saw that they
were living in a semi-wild state?"
  "Yes, but what happened on that planet?"
  "Atomic -ar, my friend. Always and eternally the
same story.
  "Don't forget Michel that the Universe is a
gigantic atom and everything is affected by that.
Your body is composed of atoms. My point is, in
all galaxies, each time a planet is inhabited,
at a certain stage in its ev-lution, the atom is
discovered or rediscovered.
  "Of course, the scientists who discover it
are very soon aware that the disintegration of
the atom can be a formidable weapon, and, at one
moment or another, the leaders want to use it;
just as a child with a box of matches is driven
to set fire to a bale of straw in order to see
what will happen.
  "But, coming back to the planet Bakaratini,
150 years after the nuc-ear holocaust, we wanted
to help these people.
  "Their immediate need was food. Still they were
subsisting essentially from products of the sea,
resorting occasionally to cann-balism to satisfy
their omnivorous yearnings. They needed vegetables
and a source of meat.
  Vegetables, fruit trees, grains, animals - all
that was edible had disappeared from the planet.
  "There remained just enough inedible plants
and bushes to replenish the oxygen in the
atmosphere.
  "At the same time, an insect, resembling in
some ways your praying mantis, had survived and,
as a result of spontaneous mutation caused by
the atom-c radiation, had evolved to gigantic
proportions.(picture)
  It grew to about eight metres in height and
had become extremely dangerous to the people.
In addition, this insect, having no natural
predator, reproduced rapidly.
  "We flew over the planet locating the
whereabouts of these insects.
  This was a relatively easy task thanks to
technology that has been at our disposal since
time immemorial. When we detected the insects,
we destroyed them so that, in a short time,
we had exterminated them.
  "Next, we had to re-introduce livestock,
plants and trees on the planet according to
the species known to have adapted climatically
in specific regions before the catastrophe.
This too, was relatively easy..."
  "It must have taken years for such a task!"
  A large smile lit up Thaos face. "It took
just two days - two 21-hour days."
  Faced with my incredulity, Thao burst into
laughter. She, or he, laughed so heartily that
I joined in, still wondering however, if the
truth was being stretched somewhat.
  How could I know? What I was hearing was so
fantastic! Perhaps I was hallucinating; perhaps
I had been drugged; perhaps I would soon "wake up"
in my very own bed? "No, Michel," interrupted
Thao, reading my thoughts.
  "I wish you would stop doubting in this way.
Te-epathy itself should be enough to convince you."
  As she uttered this sentence, it struck me that,
even in the best planned hoax, it would hardly be
possible to bring together so many supernatural
elements. Thao was able to read my mind like an
open book, and proved it over and over again.
Latoli, simply by placing her hand on me, had
produced such an extraordinary feeling of
well-being, I must acknowledge the evidence. I
was well and truly experiencing an
extra-extraordinary adventure.
  "Perfect," Thao agreed aloud. "May I continue?"
  "Please do," I encouraged.
  "So, we helped these people materially; but,
as so often when we intervene, we did not allow
our presence to be known and there are several
reasons for that.

  This talks about a lot of animals that were
brought to the Earth by some space people.

.......................................................
.......................................................

  �The first is se-urity. The second reason is a
psychological one; if we had made these people aware
of our existence and if they had realized we were there
in order to help them, they would passively have
allowed themselves to be helped and would have felt
sorry for themselves. This would adversely affect their
will to survive. As you say on Earth: "G-d helps those
who help themselves."
  "The third and last reason is the main one. Universal
Law is well-established and is as strictly enforced as
that which controls the planets revolutions around
their suns. If you make a mistake, you pay the penalty
- immediately, in ten years time, or in ten centuries
time, but errors must be paid for. Thus, from time to
time we are permitted, or even advised, to offer a
helping hand but we are formally forbidden to "serve
the meal on a plate".

  Thus, in two days, we repopulated their planet
with several pairs of animals and re-established
numerous plants so that eventually the people
could raise the animals and cultivate the plants
and trees. They had to start from scratch and we
guided their progress, either by dream or te-epathy.
At times we did it by means of "a voice coming from
the heavens"; that is to say, the voice" came from
our spacecraft but, to them, it came from "heaven".
  "They must have taken you to be go-s!"
  "Exactly so, and it is in this way that legends
and r-ligions are established; but, in cases as
urgent as that one was, the end justified the
means.
  the visitors soon became "gods" in their advanced
ships
  "Finally, after several centuries, the planet
was almost as it had been before the nu-lear
holocaust. All the same, in some places, deserts
had been definitely established. In other spots
less affected, the flora and fauna were easily
developed.
  "One hundred and fifty thousand years later,
the civilization was highly successful but, this
time, not only technologically: happily the people
had learned their lesson and had also e-olved to
a high p-ychic and s-iritual level. This occurred
in both r-ces and the b-acks and the yellows had
developed strong bonds of friendship.
  "Thus, peace reigned on the planet, for the
legends remained quite clear; many of them recorded
in writing, so that future generations would know
exactly what had provoked the nuc-ear catastrophe
and what its consequences had been.
  "As I said earlier, the people knew that
their planet was going to become uninhabitable
within 500 years. Knowing there were other
planets, inhabited and inhabitable, in the
galaxy, they mounted one of the most serious
exploratory expeditions.
  "Eventually, they penetrated your solar
system, first visiting Mars which was known
to be inhabitable and which, at that time in
fact was inhabited.
  "The human beings on Mars had no technology
but, by contrast, they were sp-ritually,
highly ev-lved. They were very small people
measuring in height between 120 centimetres
and 150 centimetres, and of Mongoloid type.
They lived in tribes, in huts of stone.
  "The fauna on Mars was scarce. There was a
kind of dwarf goat, some very large hare-like
creatures, several species of rat, and the
largest animal resembled a buffalo but had a
head like a tapir. There were also some birds
and three species of snakes, one of which was
quite venomous.
  The flora was also poor, trees attaining no
more than four meters in height. They had too,
an edible grass that you might compare with
buckwheat.
  (also the contactperson
http://www.galactic-server.net/rune/fry.html
Daniel Fry told that Mars in the past was a
lifeplanet also on our level of existence.
r-�.remark)

  "The Bakaratinians conducted their research,
realizing soon that Mars was also cooling down
at a rate which indicated that it would no
longer be inhabitable in four to five thousand
years. In terms of its flora and fauna, it was
barely rich enough to sustain those already
living there, let alone cope with an emigrant
mass from Bakaratini. Besides, the planet did
not appeal to them.
  "Thus, the two spacecraft headed for Earth.
The first landing took place where Australia
is now found. At that time, it should be
explained that Australia, New Guinea,
Indonesia and Malaysia were all part of the
one continent. A strait existed, about 300
kilometres wide, exactly where Thailand is
now found.
  "In those times, Australia possessed a great
inland sea fed by several large rivers, so
that diverse and interesting flora and fauna
flourished there. All things considered, the
astronauts chose this country as their first
immigration base.
  "I must say, to be more precise, that the
black race chose Australia and the yellow
people established themselves where Burma is
now - here too, was a land rich in wildlife.
Bases were quickly set up on the coast, on
the Bay of Bengal, while the bla-k people
constructed their first base on the shores of
the Inland Sea in Australia. Later, further
bases were established where New Guinea is
presently located.
  "Their spacecraft were capable of
superluminal 1 speeds and took approximately
50 of your Earth years to bring 3 600 000
blac- people and the same number of the yellow
r-ce, to Earth. This bears witness to the
perfect understanding and excellent
association between two r-ces determined to
survive on a new planet and exist in peace.
By common agreement, the aged and infirmed
remained in Bakaratini.
  "The Bakaratinians had explored all of the
planet Earth before establishing their bases,
and were absolutely persuaded that no human
life existed before their arrival. Often they
thought they had located a humanoid form of
life, but on closer inspection, realized
they had made contact with a species of large
apes.

that exceed the speed of light. Original text

----------
  "Gravity on Earth was stronger than on their
planet and it was quite uncomfortable
initially, for the two -aces, but eventually
they adapted very well.
  "In building their towns and factories,
they were fortunate to import from Bakaratini,
certain materials which were very light and,
at the same time, very strong.
  "I have not yet explained that, at that
time, Australia was on the equator. Earth
rotated on a different axis - taking 30 hours
and 12 minutes to complete a rotation, and
achieved a revolution around its sun in 280
such days. The equatorial climate was not
as you will find it today. It was much more
humid than now, for the Earth's atmosphere has
changed.
  "Herds of huge zebras roamed the country,
in company with enormous edible birds, referred
to as "dodos", very large jaguars, and another
bird measuring almost four metres in height,
which you have called Dinornis. In certain
rivers, there were crocodiles up to 15 meters
in length and snakes 25 to 30 meters long. They,
at times, nourished themselves on the new
arrivals.
  "Most of the flora and fauna on Earth was
totally different from that on Bakaratini - both
from a nutritional and ecological point of view.
Numerous experimental farms were established in
an endeavour to acclimatise plants such as
sunflower, maize, wheat, sorghum, tapioca and
others.
  "These plants either didn't exist on Earth or
else existed in such a primitive state that they
couldn't be consumed. The goat and the kangaroo
were both imported, for the immigrants were
quite partial to these, consuming them in great
numbers on their planet. They were particularly
keen to raise kangaroos on Earth, experiencing
enormous difficulties however, in acclimatising
them. One of the main problems was food. On
Bakaratini, the kangaroo fed on a fine, hardy
grass called arilu, which was totally unknown
on Earth. Each time the Bakaratinians tried
to grow it, it died, attacked always by
millions of microscopic fungi. So it happened
that the kangaroo were hand-fed, so to speak,
for several decades, as they gradually adapted
to the grasses on Earth.
  "The -lack race persevered in its endeavours
and finally succeeded in growing the plant, but
it had taken so long that the kangaroos no
longer required more than their new pastures.
Very much later, some arilu plants took root
and, as there were no animals to eat them,
they spread throughout Australia. They still
exist under the botanical name Xanthorrhoea
and the popular name '"grass trees".1
  "On Earth, this grass grows much taller and
thicker than it did on Bakaratini, but that
often happens when species are introduced
from other planets. This plant is one of the
rare vestiges of those distant times.

-------------------------------

note 1. "grass trees�� - original text was
"bl-ck boys". This term is currently avoided
in Australia due to the ra-ist connotation.
(Editor's comment)

-------------
  "It indicates, by being found only in
Australia, along with the kangaroo, that the
Bakaratinians remained in that particular
part of the planet for a very long time
before seeking to colonise other parts. I am
about to explain this, but I wanted first,
to cite the examples of the kangaroo and
the Xanthorrhoea so that you might better
understand all the problems of adaptation
these people had to overcome; of course, it
is only one small example among so many
others.
  "The yellow r-ce had settled, as I said,
in the hinterland of the Bay of Bengal. Most
were in Burma where they too, had established
cities and experimental farms. Principally
interested in vegetables, they had imported
from Bakaratini cabbages, lettuce, parsley,
coriander and some others. For fruit, they
brought the cherry tree, the banana and the
orange trees. These last two were difficult
to establish, for the climate of the time was
generally colder than it is now. Thus, they
gave some of the trees to the bla-ks who, by
contrast, had enormous success with them.

  Here they speak about yellow fever.

......................................................
......................................................

  "In the same way, the yellow people had far greater
success in the growing of wheat. In fact, the wheat
from Bakaratini produced enormous grains, around the
size of a coffee bean, with ears measuring up to 40
centimetres in length. Four varieties of wheat were
grown and the yellow r-ce wasted no time in
establishing a very high production level."
  �Did they also bring rice to the planet?"
  "No, not at all. Rice is a plant absolutely native
to Earth, although it was greatly improved by the
yellow people on its way to becoming what it is now.
  "To continue, immense silos were constructed and
soon, commercial exchanges began between the two
ra-es. The black rac- exported kangaroo meat, dodos
(which were prolific at the time) and zebra meat. In
domesticating the latter, the b-acks in fact, produced
breeds that were equal in taste, to kangaroo meat and
more nutritious. Trade was carried out using
Bakaratini spacecraft, bases for these vessels having
been set up all over the land..."
  "What you are saying, Thao, is that the first men on
Earth were blac- and yellow. How is it then, that I
come to be white?
  "Not so fast, Michel, not so fast. The first men on
Earth were, indeed, the bla-ks and the yellows, but for
the moment I will continue to explain how they
organized themselves and how they lived.

  "Materially, they were successful, but they were
also careful not to neglect the construction of their
immense meeting halls, in which they practised their
cult."
  "They had a cult?"
  "Oh yes, they were all Tackioni, which is to say,
they all believed in rei-carnation; something in the
way present-day Lamaists do on your planet.
  "There was much travel between the two countries and
they even combined efforts to explore deeper into
certain regions of Earth. A mixed group of bla-ks and
yellows landed one day, on the tip of South Africa,
now called the cape of Good Hope. Africa has changed
very little since those times - apart from the Sahara,
the north-eastern area and the Red Sea, which didn't
exist then. But that is another story we will get to
later.

  At the time of the exploration, they had already
been established on Earth for three centuries.
  "In Africa, they discovered new animals such as the
elephant, the giraffe and the buffalo, and a new fruit
that they had never before encountered - the tomato.
Don't imagine Michel, that this was the tomato as you
know it today. When discovered, it was the size of a
very small currant and very acidic. The yellow people,
having developed great expertise in such things,
undertook to improve the tomato over the succeeding
centuries, just as they did with rice, until it became
the fruit you are now familiar with. They were equally
surprised to find banana trees that, at first sight,
resembled those they had imported. They had no reason
to regret their efforts however, for the African banana
was practically inedible and filled with large seeds.
  "This African expedition comprised 50 bla-ks and 50
yellows, bringing home elephants, tomatoes and many
mongeese (picture), for they soon discovered the
mongoose to be the mortal enemy of snakes.
Unfortunately, they also brought with them without
realizing it, the terrible virus which is now called
"yellow fever".
  "In a very short time, millions of people had died,
without their medical experts even knowing how the
sickness had spread.
  "Since it is mainly spread by the mosquito, and since
there are many more mosquitoes in equatorial climates
where there is no winter to reduce their numbers, it
was the blac-s in Australia who suffered most. In fact,
they counted four times more victims than the yellows.
  "The yellow ra-e on Bakaratini has always been
superior in the field of medicine and pathology;
nevertheless, it took many years before they discovered
a remedy for this curse, during which time hundreds of
thousands died in terrible suffering. Eventually the
yellow people produced a vaccine that was immediately
made available to the bl-cks - a gesture that
reinforced the bonds of friendship between the two
r-ces."
  "What were they physically like, these blacks?"
  "When they migrated from Bakaratini, they were about
230 centimetres tall - their women too. They were a
beautiful ra-e. The yellow people were smaller in size,
the average man measuring 190 centimetres and the
women, 180 centimetres."
  "But you said that the present-day bla-ks are the
descendants of those people - why is it they are now so
much smaller?"
  "Gravitation, Michel. Being stronger on Earth than on
Bakaratini, both rac-s gradually became smaller in
size.
  You also said that you are able to help people in
trouble - why did you not give any assistance in regard
to the yellow fever outbreak. Was it that you weren't
able to find the vaccine either?"
  "We could have helped; you will realize our potential
when you visit our planet - but we didn't intervene
because it wasn't in the program that we had to follow.
  I have already told you, and I can't repeat it often
enough, we can help in certain situations but only so
far. Beyond a certain point, the law strictly forbids
aid of any kind.
  "I'll give you a simple example. Imagine a child
who goes to school each day in order to learn. Returning
home in the evening, this child asks for assistance
with his homework. If his parents are smart, they will
help him understand the concepts involved so that
the child can complete his task himself. If, however,
his parents did his work for him, he wouldn't learn
much, would he? He'd have to repeat each year and
his parents would have done him no favours.
  "As you will see later, although you know it already,
you are on your planet in order to learn how to live,
suffer and d-e, but also to develop sp-ritually as
much as you can. We'll come back to this point
later when the Thaori speak to you. For now, I
want to tell you more of these people...
  "They overcame the curse of the yellow fever
and spread their roots deeper on this new planet.
Not only was Australia heavily populated, but
so was the area now known as Antarctica - of
course, in those days, its position meant that
its climate was temperate. New Guinea was also
densely settled. By the end of the yellow fever
scourge, the b-acks numbered 795 million."
  "I thought that Antarctica was not really a
continent?"
  "At that time, it was attached to Australia
and very much warmer than now, since Earth
rotated on a different axis. The Antarctic
climate was more like southern Russia is now."
  "Did they never go back to Bakaratini?"
  "No. Once established on Earth, they made
strict rules that no one would return."
  "What became of their planet?"
  "It cooled down as predicted and became a
desert - much like Mars."
  "What was their po-itical structure like?"
   "Very simple - election (by raised hands) of
the leader of a village or district. These
district leaders elected a town leader as well
as eight old people chosen from among those
most respected for their wisdom, common sense,
integrity and intelligence.
  "They were never selected on the basis of
wealth or family, and all were between 45 and
65 years of age. The town or regional leaders
(a region comprised eight villages) had the
role of negotiating with the eight old people.
The council of eight elected (by a secret
ballot requiring that at least seven voted
in accord) a delegate to represent them at
meetings of State Council.
  "In Australia, for example, there were eight
states, each of which comprised eight towns or
regions. At state council meetings there were
thus, eight delegates, each representing a
different town or region.
  "At a state council meeting, presided over
by a great sage, they discussed the type of
day-to-day problems that confront any
g-vernment: water conveyance, hospitals, roads
etc. In regards to roads, both the bl-ck and
the yellow rac-s used very light vehicles,
with a hydrogen motor, which travelled above
the ground, thanks to a system based on
antimagnetic and anti-gravitational force.
  "But, to get back to the pol-tical system,
there was no such thing as a "party",
everything being based solely on reputation
for integrity and wisdom. Long experience had
taught them that to establish an order that
would endure, required two golden ingredients:
fairness and discipline.
  "I will speak to you some other time of
their economic and social organization, and
give you an idea now, of their system of
justice. A thief for example, genuinely
considered to be guilty, was branded with a
red-hot iron on the back of the hand he or
she ordinarily used. So, a right-handed
thief was branded on the right hand, a
subsequent offence resulted in the left hand
being cut off. This is a practice that still
occurred quite recently among the Arabs - a
practice conserved throughout time past. If
he or she continued to steal, the right hand
would be cut off and the forehead marked
with an indelible symbol. Without hands, the
thief was at the mercy and pity of his family
and passers-by for food, for everything.
Because people would recognize the symbol as
that of a thief, life became very difficult.
Death would have been preferable.
  "In this way, the thief became a living
example of what happened to a habitual
offender. Needless to say, theft was a rare
occurrence.
  "As for murder, this too was rare, as you
will see. Accused murderers were taken to a
special room and left alone. Behind a curtain,
a "mind-reader" would be installed. This was
a man who not only possessed a special
te-epathic gift but who also cultivated that
gift in a constant endeavour, in one or another
of the special universities. He would intercept
the thoughts of the supposed murderer.
  "You are going to retort that it is possible,
with training, to make one's mind blank - but
not for six hours at a stretch. Further, at
various times when he or she might least
expect it, certain predetermined sounds would
be heard, obliging the "subject" to break
concentration.
  "As a precautionary measure, six different
"mind-readers" were used.
  The same procedure was applied to witnesses
for the prosecution or defence, in another
building some distance away. Not a word would be
exchanged and, on the two following days, the
procedure would be repeated, this time for eight

Subject: The First Man On Earth.  Part 4. Mar. 5, 2008.

  This talks about a situation similar to the
distruction of Sodom and Gomorra.

  "On the fourth day, all the "mind-readers" submitted
their notes to a panel of three judges, who interviewed
and cross-examined the accused and the witnesses. There
were no lawyers or juries to impress. The judges had
before them all the particulars of the case, and wanted
to be absolutely sure of the guilt of the accused."
  "Why?"
  "The penalty was d-ath Michel, but a terrible death,
the mu-derer being thrown alive to the crocodiles. As
for rape, which was considered worse than mur-er, the
punishment was even more cruel. The offender was coated
with honey and buried to the shoulders in the immediate
vicinity of an ant colony. Death, at times, would take
ten or 12 hours.
  "As you will now understand, the crime rate
was extremely low among both r-ces and, for
this reason, they had no need for prisons."
  "Don�t you consider that excessively cruel?"
  "Consider the mother of a 16 year old girl,
for example, who was r-ped and mur-ered. Doesn't
she endure, in the loss of her child, cruelty
of the worst kind? She did not provoke or seek
her loss but she must suffer. The criminal, on
the other hand, is aware of the consequences
of his actions; thus, it is just that he be
punished very cruelly. As I have explained
however, criminality was almost non-existent.
  "Returning to r-ligion: I said earlier that
both ra-es believed in rei-carnation, but there
were variations on their beliefs that, at times,
divided them. Certain priests diverted masses
of people to group them, under their leadership,
in these variant relig-ons. The divisions that
resulted among the b-acks had disastrous
repercussions.
  "Eventually, about 500 000 bl-cks emigrated
in the wake of their priests, to Africa - to
the area where the Red Sea is now. At that time,
the Red Sea did not exist and the land was
African. They began to construct villages and
towns, but the po-itical system as I described
to you, which was fair and effective in all
respects, was abandoned. The priests themselves
elected the heads of go-ernment, so that these
leaders became, more or less, puppets
manipulated by the priests. From that time on,
the people had to face many of the problems
that are so familiar to you on Earth at the
present time: corruption, p-ostitution, d-ugs
and all manner of injustices.
  "As for the yellow people they were very
well structured and, in spite of some slight
rel-gious distortions, their priests had no
say in the affairs of state.
  They lived in peace and affluence - quite
different from the secessionist bla-k ra-e
in Africa."
  "And in regard to arms, what sorts of
weapons did they have?"
  "It was quite simple and, as simplicity is
often superior to complexity, it worked
wonderfully well. Both rac-s brought with
them what we could call "laser weapons".
These weapons were under the control of a special
group which, in turn, was under the direction of
the leaders of each country. By common accord,
each -ace had exchanged 100 "observers" whose
presence was permanent in each foreign country.
These observers were ambassadors and diplomats
for their own countries, at the same time,
ensuring that an arms excess did not occur.
This system worked perfectly and peace was
maintained for 3550 years.
  "The blacks who emigrated to Africa however,
had not been allowed to take these weapons
with them, being, as they were, a secessionist
group.
  Little by little they spread further, settling
the area that is now the Sahara desert. In
those times, it was a rich land with a temperate
climate, providing a well-vegetated habitat for
many animals.
  "The priests had temples constructed and, to
satisfy their desire for wealth and power, they
taxed the people heavily.
  "Among a people who had never before known
poverty, there now formed two distinct classes:
the very rich and the very poor. The priests of
course, belonged to the former, as did those
who helped them to exploit the poor.
  "Religion became idolatry and the people
worshiped stone or wooden g-ds, offering
sacrifices to them. It was not long before
the priests insisted that the sacrifices
must be human.
  "From the beginning of the secession, the
priests took pains to ensure that the people
were kept in ignorance to the greatest
extent possible. By lowering their intellectual
and physical level of development over the
course of years, the priests were better able
to maintain domination over them. The rel-gion
which had "developed" had absolutely nothing
in common with the "cult" that had originally
inspired the secession; so control of the
masses was essential.
  "Universal Law decrees that man's principal
obligation, regardless of which planet he
happens to inhabit, is to develop his
sp-rituality. These priests, by degrading
an entire "nation" through keeping them
in ignorance and leading them with lies,
infringed this fundamental Law.
  "We decided at this point, to intervene,
but, before doing so, offered the priests a
last chance. Using te-epathy, as well as a
dream, we contacted the Great Priest: "Human
sacrifices must cease and these people must
be led back to the Right Path. Man exists
physically for the sole purpose of developing
spiri-ually. What you are doing contravenes
Universal Law."
  "The Great Priest was terribly shaken and,
the next day, called a meeting of his priests,
telling them of his dream. A few among them
accused him of betrayal; others suggested
senility; and some suspected hallucinations.
Eventually, following several hours of
discussion, 12 of the 15 priests who formed
this council, remained determined to preserve
the rel-gion as it was, claiming that the
ideal was to maintain control and to promote
the belief in, and fear of, "vengeful -ods"
whose representatives they were on Earth.
They didn't believe a word of what the Great
Priest had told them regarding his "dream".
  "Sometimes our position is very delicate,
Michel. We could have appeared with our
spacecraft and spoken directly to the priests,
but they were able to identify vessels from
space, having had them too, before the
secession.
  "They would have attacked us immediately
- no questions asked - for they were very
suspicious and fearful of losing their
pre-eminence within their "nation". They
had formed an a-my and possessed quite powerful
weapons, to be used to counter possible
re-olutions. We could also have destroyed them
and spoken directly to the people in order to
lead them back to the Right Path but,
psychologically, this would have been a mistake.
These people were accustomed to obeying their
priests and would not have understood why we
interfered in the affairs of their country -
thus all would have been spoiled.
  "So it was that one night we flew above the
country at an altitude of 10 000 metres in
one of our "tool spheres". The temple and the
H-ly City were situated about one kilometer from
the town. We woke, by tele-athy, the Great
Priest and the two acolytes who had followed
his advice, making them go, on foot, to a
beautiful park, one-and-a-half kilometers from
the Ho-y City. Then, by collective
hallucination, we had the guards open the jails
and release the prisoners. Servants, soldiers -
in fact, all the inhabitants of the Hol- City,
with the exception of the 12 e-il priests, were
evacuated. Inspired by strange "visions" in the
sky, everyone ran for the other end of the town.
  "In the sky, winged personages hovered around
an enormous incandescent cloud which shone in
the night..."
  "How is that done?"
  "Collective illusion, Michel. Thus, in a very
short time, it was arranged that only the 12
ev-l priests remained in the H-ly City. When all
was ready, the "tool sphere" destroyed it all,
including the Temple, by means of the same
weapon that you have already seen in action.
Rocks were shattered and walls crumbled to a
height of one meter, that their ruins might bear
witness to the consequence of this "s-n".
  the biblical stroy of the destruction of
sodom and gomorra where LOT was told to leave
the city immediately and "here" watch the
event from the mountain - reminds of the story
here told by Thao.
  "Indeed, if they had been totally effaced,
men would soon have forgotten, for men easily
forget...
  "Further, and for the edification of the people,
a voice issuing from the incandescent cloud,
warned that the anger of Go- could be terrible -
much worse than they had seen - and that they
must obey the Great Priest and follow the new
way which he would show them.
  "When it was all over, the Great Priest stood
before the people and spoke to them. He explained
to the poor wretches that he had been wrong, and
that it was now, important that everyone strive
together to follow the new way.
  "He was assisted in his work by the two
priests. Of course, times were often hard, but
they were aided by the memory and the fear of
the event that had destroyed, in a matter of
minutes, the Hol- City and k-lled the ev-l
priests. Needless to say, this "event" was
considered by all to be a m-racle of the G-ds,
for it also involved the liberation of more
than 200 prisoners who were to face human
sacrifice the next day.
  "All the details of the incident were noted
by the scribes, but they were also distorted
in the legends and tales passed on through the
centuries. Nevertheless, the immediate
consequence was that everything changed. The
rich who had previously had a hand in the
exploitation of the people, now, in view of
what had happened to the -vil priests and the
Ho-y City, were fearful of meeting a similar
fate. They were considerably humbled and
assisted the new leaders in instigating the
changes required.
