Don Juan, the Mexican Yaqui Indian shaman, tells Carlos Castañeda the following: "We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don''t do so... I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! "This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico ... They took us over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them." "No, no, no, no,"
"This is absurd don Juan. What you''re saying is something monstrous. It simply can''t be true, for sorcerers or for average men, or for anyone." "Why not?" don Juan asked calmly. "Why not? Because it infuriates you?... You haven''t heard all the claims yet. I want to appeal to your analytical mind. Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradictions between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of beliefs, or the stupidity of his contradictory behavior. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of belief, our ideas of good and evil, our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal." ''"But how can they do this, don Juan?'' asked, somehow angered further by what was saying. "Do they whisper all that in our ears while we are asleep?" "''No, they don''t do it that way. That''s idiotic!" don Juan said, smiling. "They are infinitely more efficient and organized than that. In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous maneuver, stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist. A horrendous maneuver from the point of view of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind! Do you hear me? The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind. The predators'' mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now." "I know that even though you have never suffered hunger... you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that any moment now its maneuver is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all, is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they ensure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear." "The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were quite ill at ease with the idea of when made its appearance on Earth. They reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I''m saying is that what we have against us is not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He''s an average piece of meat." "There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to become a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic." Castañeda The Active Side of Infinity 1998 Back to Contents The plot Many thousands of years ago, way back in "pre-history", there was a highly developed civilization in the Pacific, which has become known as Lemuria, or Mu. These peunded another great culture on a landmass in the Atlantic, which we know as Atlantis. The knowledge that created these advanced societies, the knowledge that built the fantastic and unexplainable ancient structures like the Great Pyramid and other amazing sites across the world, came from the stars-extraterrestrials of many varieties. Some were tall blond-haired, blue-eyed, types, while others took a reptilian form (see picture section for artists'' impressions of these beings). These and others came here from constellations like Orion, Draco, Andromeda, Lyra, and Bootes, and other locations like the Pleiades, Sirius, Vega, Zeta Reticuli, Arcturus, Aldebaran, and elsewhere. Australian aborigines, African tribes, the Babylonians, and South American Indians are just some of the diverse peoples who claim ancient connections with such places. The reptilians are a tall, mostly humanoid-type race, with snake-like eyes and skin and they are connected to the classic "greys" with the big black "eyes", which have become the very symbol of the "ET". Often these various extraterrestrial factions battled for supremacy in the legendary "wars of the gods". These technologically advanced beings were believed to be gods by the human races because of the apparently miraculous feats they could achieve with their technology and flying craft. By the way, for those who find it impossible to conceive of "intelligent" life forms and humanoids taking a reptilian form, ponder on the words of the cosmologist, Carl Sagan: "There are more potential combinations of DNA (physical forms) than there are atoms in the universe." On that basis, given the fantastic diversity of the reptilian species on the Earth alone, it would be more amazing if there were not reptilians of a humanoid and intelligent variety. These "gods" interbred with each other and the more primitive Earth people and these unions are recorded in endless ancient accounts. These were the Sons of God who interbred with the daughters of men to seed the hybrid race, the Nefilim, as described in the Old Testament book of Genesis. The most important interbreeding was between the reptilians and the blond-haired, blue-eyed, Nordic peoples, both of extraterrestrial origin, as an alliance was formed between factions of these races. The union produced what has been called the Aryan or "noble" race - the "master race" of the Nazis. This is the fusion of the Nordic and reptilian DNA (the genetic code that decides physical characteristics) and, as the ancient records confirm, it was these "royal" bloodlines, the reptilian-Nordic hybrids, that were placed in the positions of ruling royal power in the thousands of years before "known" history. They were the kings and queens who claimed the "divine right" to rule because of their bloodline - the bloodline of the gods. These ancient royal lines in places like Egypt, Sumer, and the Indus Valley, had a white skin and often blue eyes, yet they were known as the Dragon Kings or Serpent Kings by those who knew the secret of their hybrid nature. Lemuria was destroyed by a staggering cataclysm that struck the Earth, maybe 11,500 to 12,000 years ago. Atlantis went the same way, in stages, over the thousands of years that followed. The universal stories of the Great Flood are related to this. When Atlantis came to an end amid more enormous geological upheavals, the bloodlines and their "gods" began again in the Near and Middle East from about 4,000BC with an empire based in Sumer in what is now Iraq, between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. Sumer, according to official "history", was the start of human "civilization", but, in fact, it was merely the re-start after the Atlantis upheavals. The seeding of extraterrestrial-human bloodlines continued and so did the policy of placing the purest of these hybrids, the reptilian-Nordics, into the positions of royal and administrative power over the people in Sumer, Egypt, Babylon, the Indus Valley, and, as the Sumer Empire exp
