Here is a true enough myth of our world. It begins with the notion of a soliton of improbability. Let us imagine that these are events which only happen once, and since they only happen once they are not legitimate objects for scientific inquiry, because objects of scientific inquiry must happen at least twice; but this is a phenomenon which happens only once, and we can visualize it as a kind of particle. These solitons of the utterly improbable crisscross the universe, occasionally colliding with an existing event system. When they collide with an existing event system, that event system bifurcates into two event systems in order to preserve a kind of parity of probability — a term I invented that need not be taken seriously — but in the pursuit of the preservation of the parity of probability, the soliton creates a temporal bifurcation.
We have reached the top of the steep learning curve in this concept system. Now here’s the good news: the soliton of improbability which interacted with our world occurred 2,000 years ago in the phenomenon of the Immaculate Conception: an event that I think you and I can agree is highly improbable! But let us take it at face value and see if we can work with it. When the Immaculate Conception occurred through the collision of the soliton of improbability with this Galilean village girl called Marian or Mary, in one world she became impregnated with a figure destined for a great religious and political future: our world, the world in which Christ was born, became a young man, taught his message, and went to his execution around 27 A.D. Another world sprang into existence at the moment of the Immaculate Conception, and in that world nothing whatsoever happened to this young Galilean girl. She continued to live with Joseph. He continued to make fine furniture. Eventually they were able to move to the better side of Nazareth, and that was their story. It’s the claim of Christian theologians that Christ comes in the center of history. They speak this same language: before Christ no souls were entering heaven. He freed the valve and now it’s possible to enter into heaven. Before his intercession that was impossible.
So, you see, I’m suggesting that at the time of Christ a parallel world came into existence that knew nothing of Christ, and consequently the forces which shattered Roman civilization never came into existence in that parallel world. Instead, Greek science and mathematics continued to enrich Roman engineering, government and theories of civil polity. The wonderful female mathematical genius Hypatia was able to complete her career. She was stoned to death by Christians in our world, yet in the parallel world she lived to old age and was able to elaborate the calculus some thousand years before Newton. This meant that by the 6th century or so this Greco-Roman world had shipbuilding and navigational techniques that were possessed in our world only by Elizabethan times. Roman navigators, inspired by the perfection of their science, set sail to explore the world, and in that parallel continuum they discovered the Maya just as they were reaching their classic climax in the jungles of Central America.
Approximately 900 years after the bifurcation into the two timestreams, a Greco-Roman-Mayan civilization came into being in the parallel continuum. The great influence on the Greco-Roman psychology from this cultural adventure was the sophisticated use of psychedelic drugs for the purposes of religion and self-exploration. In the vision in which this idea was shown to me by the powers of the other side, I actually saw the Roman emperor Cosmodorus the Fifth and his retinue arriving at Tikal in the ninth century for the coronation of Three-Flint-Knife at the end of that Baktun 8; a great confluence of imperial majesty as the greatest king of the Mayan cultural climax received his European counterpart, and documents, codices, mathematicians, instruments of navigation and pharmacy were traded.
The genius of the Mayans in mathematics and astronomy and their extremely sophisticated psychopharmacopoeia and shamanism mated with Neoplatonism and Hermeticism, so that rather than science developing as it developed in our world, a kind of magical, psychopharmacological technology of thought and understanding developed over the centuries. In later centuries — centuries before it happened in our world — they contacted the Orient, and the dynastic in- fluence of the Song poured itself into the creation of a global civilization such that by around 1200 A.D. they were able to land on the moon and create a cybernetic global civilization similar to the kind we have now. They continued evolving with all this psychotronic and shamanically-derived technology, and by this time you can imagine that it was an unbelievably exotic and alien civilization compared to our own.
The fruit of their psychedelic and psychoanalytic investigations into higher space was the discovery of our world. By studying the dreams of psychotics in their world, they slowly became aware of our existence. They found out what had happened. They figured it out by studying dreams, and by making deep journeys into the psychedelic space they were able to discover our sleeping unconscious, with its repository of the legacy of the Christian centuries under the reign of this demiurgic ideology, and they conceived of the notion of saving us.
Further, by extension of their more advanced understanding of atomic and particle physics, by around the year 1900 in our continuum they came to the hypothesis that major releases of hard radiation would penetrate across the energy barrier of the two timestreams. They conducted an experiment to test this hypothesis: they decided to set off a small atomic device in their continuum and to monitor the dreams of sensitive people in our continuum to see if there was evidence of an awareness of this explosion. The experiment was actually carried out in 1906 by our time reckoning. This is what we call the Tunguska blast that occurred in Siberia. After the blast in the parallel continuum, those who had conducted the test were able to monitor the dreams of Siberian shamans, and they saw hundreds of square miles of trees smashed flat by a mighty explosion. Hence they realized that their theoretical assumption that explosions in one continuum would affect life in the other were in fact true, and they became quite alarmed, because as they continued to monitor the dreams of human beings in the parallel continuum they came to slowly understand that, primitive though we may be, in our world we were coming to a grasp of atomic chemistry and thermonuclear fission and fusion.
Fearing for the destruction of their own world they began, and have in fact carried out through this century, a massive scientific research project to attempt to reach us to communicate to us the true situation and to depotentiate our nuclear arsenals in order to save their own world, which is now in fact the ad- ministrative center of some 16 integrated star systems in this part of the galaxy. In other words, they are some 1,200 years in advance of us technologically and in the use of psychedelic substances, because they never experienced the history- freezing eschatology that the rise of Christianity created in our world.
Psychedelic compounds amplify the very slight leakage of information from this other dimension. In the same way that they found us, we can find them by taking psychedelic mushrooms and opening ourselves to the information pouring through from the alternative timestream. The other side is actually the manifestation of this bizarre Greco-Roman-Mayan, postmodern, starfaring civilization trying to reach across the dimensions to save us from the momentum of our history by making us aware, first of all of their existence, and also of their technology.
It’s not unlike the situation with East Germany and East Berlin. All we’re saying is that this advanced civilization is about to pull down the wall and invite us to leave the benighted world bequeathed to us by rampant monotheism and participate in the higher life of the great stellar civilization created by the Greco-Roman-Mayanists, who avoided the rather tawdry ideological path of development that we were victim of; and UFOs are aspects of this technological effort to reach us. In other words, they are experimental vehicles attempting to penetrate the time barrier to reach us with this news. I believe that in 2012 this technology will be perfected and they will no longer need to send unmanned probes or experimental devices: rather they will actually be able to open a domain, perhaps as much as several thousand kilometers in diameter, which will be coexistent both in our timestream and in their timestream.
If any of you have read the late works of Philip K. Dick, he was probing in these areas. He was a genius; his book Valis is pure exegesis of the internal unravelment of what was going on. His take on it was that he believed that from A.D. 69 until 1948 no time had actually passed; that we were living in apostolic time and that the crucifixion lay only 75 years in the past, and that the demiurge had inserted a false history. The Nag Hammadi manuscripts, he believed, were actually the Logos as printed letters, and when the Nag Hammadi manuscripts were deciphered it was like this information creature would come alive and again be present on the earth, like the Logos in 1948 was beginning to infuse everything and that shortly it would dissolve the illusion of the intervening 1,860 years and then we would realize that the prophecy would be fulfilled and that the last days were upon us.
He didn’t get around to the Antichrist, to his credit probably. You have to distinguish between Christ the person, the teacher, and this thing called the Christos, which is the archetype of such power and force that immediately people of ill-intent could get lined up behind it and impose their will. The Christos is the thing history is ruled by, the archetypes which the people can generate. Most people are very ordinary, I mean, your Mick Jaggers and your Henry Kissingers are very ordinary people, but they are able to project an archetype and that is the thing which sets them apart. When that reaches the kind of super intense focus that you get in a Mohammed or a Christ, then you know that history is just putty in the hands of the force, not the person. The person is usually martyred in some horrible way, but the archetype draws energy to itself, and we don’t understand how this process works.
If there ever is developed by benevolent or malevolent forces a science of social control, it will be a science of knowing how to project archetypes. Different archetypes, apparently, are suitable to different times; you can almost pause at an astrological theory of archetypes, but what’s appropriate for the 1st century A.D. is not appropriate for the 15th. When the archetype is appropriate, nothing can stop it. The modern term for archetype is paradigm. We expect it not to be a person, not a messiah, but an idea which will save us all, which then gives us certain affinities with mystical Judaism, where the messiah was expected in the form of an idea. This is sort of our faith; we are messianic ideologues, or something like that.
