Reincarnational Civilizations, Probabilities, and More on
the Multidimensional God (2)
While the civilization of the Lumanians was
highly concentrated, in that they made no attempt to conquer others or to
spread out to any great extent in area, they did set out, over the centuries,
outposts from which they could emerge and keep track of the other native
peoples.
These outposts were constructed underground. From the original cities and large
settlements there were, of course, underground connections, a system of
tunnels, highly intricate and beautifully engineered. Since these were an aesthetic people, the
walls were lined with paintings and drawings, and sculpture was also displayed
along these inner byways.
There were various escalated systems, some
conveying people on foot, some conveying goods.
It was not practical to construct such tunnels to the many outposts,
however, which were fairly small communities and relatively self-supporting;
some were a good distance away from the main areas of commerce and activity.
These outposts were situated in many
scattered areas, but there were a fairly large number of them in what is now
Spain and the Pyrenees. There were
several reasons for this, one having to do with the existence of rather
giant-sized men in the mountain areas.
Because of the timid nature of these Lumanian people, they did not enjoy
outpost existence, and only the bravest and most confident of them were given such
an assignment, which was temporary to begin with.
The caves, again, served as doorways
opening outward, and often what seemed to be the back of a cave was instead
constructed of a material opaque from the outside but transparent from the
inside. The natives of the area, using
such caves for natural shelter, could therefore be observed without
danger. These people reacted to sounds
that are not audible to your ears. Their
peculiar fear of violence intensified all of their mechanisms to an amazing
degree. They were forever alert and on
guard.
This is difficult to explain, but they
could mentally pitch a thought along certain frequencies – a highly
distinguished art – and then translate the thought at a given destination in
any of a number of ways, into form or color, for example, or even into a
certain type of image. Their language
was extremely discriminating in ways that you could not understand, simply
because gradations in pitch, frequency, and spacing were so precise and
complicated.
Communication, in
fact, was one of their strongest points, and it was developed to such a high
degree simply because they feared violence so deeply and were constantly on the
alert. They banded together in large family
groups, again in need for protection.
Contact between children and parents was at a very high level, and
children were acutely uncomfortable if out of the sight of their parents for
any amount of time.
For these reasons,
those individuals who ran the outposts felt themselves to be in a very
uncomfortable situation. They were
limited in numbers and largely cut off from the main areas of their own
civilization. They developed, therefore,
an even greater telepathic activity, and a rapport with the earth above their
head, so that the slightest tremor or footstep and the most minute movements
above that were not usual were instantly noted.
There were
frequent peepholes, so to speak, through to the surface, from which they could
make observations, and cameras situated there that kept the most precise
pictures not only of the earth, but of the stars.
Of course, they
had complete records of underground gas areas and intimate knowledge of the
inner crust, keeping careful watch upon and anticipating earth tremors and
faults. They were as triumphant about
their descent into the earth as any race ever was who left the earth.
This was, as I
told you, the second, and perhaps most interesting of the three
civilizations. The first followed
generally your own line of development and faced many of the problems that you
now do. They were largely situated in
what you call Asia Minor, but they were also expansive and traveled outward to
other areas. These are the people I
mentioned earlier, who finally went on to other planets within other galaxies,
and from whom the people of the Lumanian civilization came.
Before we discuss
the third civilization, there are a few more points I would like to make about
the second one.
This has to do
with communication as it was applied to their drawings and paintings, and to
the highly discriminating channels that their creative communications could
take. In many ways their art was highly
superior to your own, and not as isolated.
The various art forms, for example, were connected in a fashion that is nearly
unknown to you, and because you are so unfamiliar with the concept, it will be
rather difficult to explain.
Consider, for
example, something very simple – say a drawing of an animal. You would perceive it simply as a visual
object, but these people were great synthesizers. A line was not simply a visual line, but
according to an almost infinite variety of distinctions and divisions, it would
also represent certain sounds that would be automatically translated.
An observer could
automatically translate the sounds before he bothered with the visual image, if
he wanted to. In what would appear to be
a drawing of an animal, then, the entire history or background of the animal
might also be given. Curves, angles,
lines all represented, beside their obvious objective function in a drawing, a
highly complicated series of variations in pitch, tone and value; or if you
prefer, invisible words.
Distances between
lines were translated as sound pauses, and sometimes also as distances in
time. Color was used in terms of
language in communication, in drawings and paintings; representing somewhat as
your own color does, emotional gradations.
The color however, its value or intensity, served to further refine and
define – for example, either by reinforcing the message already given by the objective
value of the lines, angles, and curves, and by the invisible word messages
already explained, or by the modifying these in any given number of ways.
The size of such
drawings also spoke its own message. In
one way this was a highly stylized art, and yet it allowed for both great
preciseness of expression in terms of detail, and great freedom in terms of
scope. It was obviously highly
compressed. This technique was later
discovered by the third civilization, and some of the remnants of drawings done
in imitation of it still exist. But the
keys to interpretation have been completely lost, so all you could see would be
a drawing devoid of the multisensual elements that gave it such great
variety. It exists, but you could not
bring it alive.
I should perhaps
mention here that some of the caves, particularly in certain areas of Spain and
the Pyrenees, and some earlier ones in Africa, were artificial
constructions. Now these people moved
mass with sound, and, as I told you earlier, actually conveyed matter through a
high mastery of sound. This is how their
tunnels were originally formed, and it was also the method used to form some of
the caves in areas where originally there were few. Often drawings on the cave walls were highly
stylized information, almost like signs in your terms in front of public
buildings, portraying the type of animals and beings in a given area.
These drawings
later were used as models by your early cavemen in the historical times to
which you usually refer.
Their
communicative abilities, and therefore creative abilities, were more vital,
alive, and responsive than yours are.
When you hear a word you may be aware of a corresponding image in your
mind. With these people, however, sounds
automatically and instantly built up an amazing vivid image that was not
three-dimensional by any means, being internalized, but was far more vivid than
your usual mental images indeed.
Certain sounds, again,
were utilized to indicate amazing distinctions in terms of size, shape, direction,
and duration both in space and time. Sounds
automatically produced brilliant images, in other words. For this reason there was
an easy distinction between what was called inner sight and outer sight, and it
was quite natural for them to close their eyes when seated in conversation in order
to communicate more clearly, enjoying the ever-changing and immediate inner images
that accompanied any verbal interchange.
They learned quickly,
and education was an exciting process, because this multisensuous facility automatically
impressed information upon them not simply through one sense channel at a time but
utilizing many simultaneously. For all this,
however, and the immediacy of their perceptions, there was an inherent weakness.
The inability to face up to violence and
learn to conquer it meant, of course, that they also severely hampered a certain
thrusting-out characteristic. Energy was
blocked in these areas so that they actually lacked a forceful quality or sense
of power.
I do not necessarily
mean physical power however, but so much of their energy was used to avoid any meeting
with violence that they were not able to channel ordinary aggressive feelings, for
example, into other areas.
