there, with one

group or the other, but all were fleeting occurrences and all were stopped shortly after the campaign developed.

Both the Koran and Bible attempted to explain this among other things to mankind, most of which was misunderstood.

Therefore, dwell not on the Koran or the Bible when looking for the true history of mankind's birth.

ZetaTalk: Meditation

Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

The Hindus are a very mystical people, in touch with their spiritual side, and trying all the time to move more in that

direction. They study and practice methods to improved communications with the spirit world. Concentration, diet that

will improve the ability of the body to concentrate and not be distracted, positions of the body that are helpful, and the right mental attitudes. All this effort brings them little, however, as the ability to communicate with spirits is strictly related to the desire to do so. A human following all the recommended practices religiously may be nowhere, another doing everything wrong, according to the recommended practices, is speaking regularly to the dead or spirits in higher

dimensions. However, as would be the case with any group of people, some Hindus who follow the recommendations

also have desire, and so connect. There is then a great flurry of enthusiasm for the practices, which had nothing to do

with the success.

The Hindu speak of a state, the goal of living, called Nirvana. They attempt to reach this via meditation, and correct living, during many incarnations. They attempt to reach high levels of communication with others, as an adjunct to this

state. What they are seeking is termed living in light form, or the spirit only, not requiring incarnations. Incarnations are a learning experience, but spirits grow beyond the need for this, in both the Service-to-Others and Service-to-Self

orientations. Incarnations are then used as a learning experience, or a tool, for these spirits.

ZetaTalk: Shamanism

Note: written by Jul 15, 1995

All cultures have shamans, who go by different names. A shaman must be able to convince those he lives amongst that

his experiences are real, and his guidance valid, or his stature quickly falls. Therefore, shamans in the main are having real experiences that are somewhat familiar, if only in part, to other humans. There are seldom fake shamans, and then

not for long. What is a shaman? A shaman is a human who refuses to deny what his intuition is telling him, and thus

communicates with entities he cannot see or hear or capture for exhibition, as in a cage. He communicates with the

world of spirits, the dead, higher level entities that no longer need incarnate bodies, and as frequently as possible, he is having Out-Of-Body experiences. He may attempt to incarnate, briefly, into other humans, or animals of various types,

but he seldom gets permission to do any of this. Imagination plays a great part in shamanism, but is bolstered by real

experiences so the shaman's stories can be very compelling.

Many who claim to be speaking to the wind, or animals, or rocks, and genuinely believe this is so, are simply giving a

spirit they cannot see a name and source. Humans sensing a spirit in the vicinity are often at a loss to explain what they are sensing. They refer to vibes, or a presence, or an intensity. Nothing can be captured on camera, or grabbed

and put in a box for later examination. Spirits communicating with a group, such as an Indian tribe, will often go with

the flow, and allow whomever is communicating to assume this presence. It is possible to influence the direction a bird flies, easily, as the reason for flying in this or that direction are few and can be staged for the benefit of the bird. Thus, a Shaman who thinks the bird has a spirit, and finds it flying in patterns that would indicate that, is none the wiser.

All humans have the capacity to be shamans, but in the main lack the faith. They stop themselves. They feel insecure,

not being grounded. They prefer to be a spectator. But the family of man, hearing the shaman weaving his spell,

remember their tentative experiences along the same lines, and believe. A shaman's followers have gone to the edge

with the shaman, and when he describes what was beyond, they recall what they caught a glint of.

Note: written on Jul 15, 1997

A widely misunderstood means of connecting to the reality known to the incarnated spirit involves forcing the human

body to take a back seat so that the mind can communicate more fully with the spirit, the incarnating entity.

In American Indian cultures, this takes the form of exposure and fatigue to the point of exhaustion, so the body has

ceased to demand center stage and has in effect given up. Isolation from the normal social interaction demanded when

others in the group are about is another technique used, a technique most humans intuitively understand. Another

means of forcing the body to take a lesser role involves various hallucinogens, naturally occurring so that they are at

hand to native peoples throughout the world. This is not a necessary step, and in fact clutters the communication, but has caught the fancy of many in drug cultures who look for any and every excuse to support a habit they have come to
