are learned best during incarnations, such slow-motion worlds are poor school houses and seldom develop any

forming entities who fail to spark in such a boring environment.

3. Those that contain a heavy preponderance of a liquid, such as water, to encourage mobility. Mankind assumes

that life requires water, and they are not far from the truth. There are other substitutes, just as there are other

substitutes for carbon in the chemical chains that form into DNA type structures, but the stage must be set, for

any type of complex life forms to develop, for mobility.

Thus,

worlds such as your outer planets are too cold;

worlds such as your planet Venus are too hot;

worlds such as your planet Mars do contain enough water to support the development of life, which did develop

but has now been frozen out;

moons such as Europa could support life in slow motion that would scarcely develop;

gaseous planets such as Saturn or Jupiter could support life if the chemical mix is such that DNA type structures

can develop, the heavy atmosphere acting like a type of ocean

However, within your Solar System, only the Earth currently supports complex life, with ample water and heat from a

molten core and the right amount of sunlight from a moderate sized sun. Both Mars and Venus and a number of

planets formerly in the Asteroid Belt supported life in the past. The Asteroid Belt had water planets capable of

developing complex life forms, but were dashed to pieces by the trash and Moons that accompanies the periodic

passages of the 12th Planet. Your gaseous planets have a chemical mix that aborts, rather than supports the building of

DNA type structures. And the 12th Planet, also a member of your Solar System, has a slow and very controlled

explosive process that supplies it with its own heat and light, which emerges through deep rifts in the oceans and

scatters in the atmosphere to form a diffuse light around this traveling planet.

ZetaTalk: Intelligent Insects

Note: written Dec 15, 1996

Life evolves in a similar manner regardless of the predominant atomic elements on any given world. Carbon based or

silicon based, the process of DNA evolution is strikingly similar. Add to that the factor of seeding potential life bearing

planets and the similarities between life that develops on one world and life that develops on another may be almost

identical. However, the environment on a given planet may be harsh to one type of life form and ideal for another.

The impact of the environment is most commonly seen in the prevalence of water planets, where no dry land

exists, failing to evolve land dwelling creatures at all. Here the life form that emerges as the intelligent species is

most often a type of octopus, as their tentacles allow manipulation of the environment and intelligence

eventually develops due to that capacity.

The second most common impact of the environment occurs where mammals fail to prosper because reptiles

prospered so well. This occurs on warm planets where a rapid rotation of the planet toasts the environment

evenly and allows cold-blooded reptiles to be constantly active. The reptiles simply eat the emerging mammals,

being more highly evolved and there first, and thus the mammal life form is less likely to evolve.

Planets where a mammal life form emerges and evolves to a degree that allows the mammal to be a candidate

for selection as the intelligent species to be genetically engineered on the planet routinely have an environment

that is harsh in some way to reptiles. Your Earth is such a planet, with a slow rotation that creates cold nights,

winters, and poles such that cold-blooded reptiles are sluggish and slow.

Where insects develop as the dominant intelligent species the planet has land but does not have a generous food

supply in its waters or as vegetation on the land. Insects eat anything, in tiny bites, and can live on dung, rotting

tissue, crumbs, and the slime that may cover rocks along the edge of water pools. As with the dominance of

reptiles, the life form that gets a head start and does not experience frequent set-backs can take advantage of

what follows.

In the case of planets where insects emerge as predominant, some insect forms begin to eat other insects, and thus can grow larger. Humans, used to insect forms that are tiny, are seeing what occurs when all insect forms are consumed by

others. On Earth, insects are consumed not only by other insects but also are the favorite food of birds, reptiles, and

rodents. For any insect to evolve as a large specimen on Earth would require a protected environment where none of

the other Earth creatures could discover it. This is simply not the case on your Earth, but is the case on those rare

worlds where insects evolve as the predominant, and eventually the intelligent, species.
