"For those amongts us who prefer things to be done in the acepted manner, let me beguin this account in the age-old fashion which i am sure will more than likely be deemed proper for a tale such as this.
Once upon a time................eighteen millions years ago, several groups of people, who would by todays standarts be known as priests and priestesses of the ancient temples of humanity, came to this world together with mankind as we know mankind today. How this all came about and from where mankind originated are questions that go far beyound the scope of this book, but what can be said is that the arrival of man upon this planet was something akin to a semi-voluntary exile from his home-world. This planet, hoever, imposed such severe limitations upon the life-form which came here that man became utterly immersed in that prison we have come to call matter. So drastic was the effect of this that man even forgot his home-world and who and what he really is(an eclipse of awehereness, the marking of our birth). Lost and bewildered, mankind turned to the priests and pristesses for spiritual guindace, only to find that they too had been affected in the same adverse way as the rest of mankind. This was a dark period of seemingly endless struggle and hopelessness.
All of this took place in that far distant time when humanity was at that stage of evolution which is today known as Lemurian and was living upon the ancient continent of Shalmali. The immersion in matter, and mans struggle agasint the debilitating effect of this, took place millions of years ago. In this time there were seven sub-races born within the civilization of Lemuria. The fourth sub-race of the Lemurians was known as the Barhishads, or Divine Hermaphrodites, and it was from these that there was born the Rmoahals Race, the first sub-race of the Atlanteans. From the Rmoahals were born the Tlavati, and it was from within this stock that the priests and priestesses of old began to incarnate and slowly to regain some of their former memories. As they gradually regained their memmories, so the priests and priestesses once again began to lead the people, and so it was that they became known as Toltecs, meaning men and women of knowledge. As more of their memories were restored, the Toltecs then took it upon themselves to lead mankind back to its true home as soon as this was possible. Thus it was that they also became known as warriors of the Spirit fighting for freedom. So this was how the history of the Toltec warriors began upon this planet in an era when mankind was just begining to measure time as we know time today. On recalling their former training, the Toltecs began developing the ability to SEE, for they were equiped with what is know today as the third eye. It was only in the period of becoming immersed in matter and the resultant loss of memmory that the Toltecs seers experienced a temporary psychic blidness. However, once sime of them began to remenber, this natural ability to SEE returned and enabled them rapidly to recall the former knowledge they had adquired upon their home-world. This knowledge conssited almost entirely of what is called, will-power, mathematics, astronomy and astrology. So adpet were the Toltecs in the use of will-power that they had no dificulty in levitating either themselves or solid objects of immense size and weight, and it was this ability which was much later used to build strcutures such as the Great Pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge in England.( been there at night, when the tourists pissed of, trully a remarkable place. asked the stones to go in, in i went, meditated with my music...could not quite get the result i wanted, but, in the end it was trully interesting...to put it mildly, although perhaps i should not have done what i did, if i was there now, within my current evolution, i would not project so much anger and frustation as i did before...perhaps i will go again there...)
The Toltecs then started to teach their fellow men the mundane but practical crafts required for physical prosperity, such as fishing, hunting, cooking, healing, building the fundamentals of methematics, and many of the arts, notably sculpture. The Toltecs had one serious problem though, for although their knowledge was extremely compreensive, it was as yet entirely atavistic and of another world. The Toltecs had litle understanding of the intricacies of life upon the physical plane, for even though they had already spent millions of years upon the earth, this time meant pratically nothing to them beacuse of their initial loss of memmory. As a consequence, their knowlege of matter was limited. Toltecs at this time had no understanding of the abstract, for they saw things entirely as they were, and therefor for them everything was very clear, but nevertheless also one-sided. Due to this limitaion Toltecs did not grasp the implications of duality, or its purporse. As a result, concepts such as the interrelationship and the interaction of all life, although instinctively practiced by them, were not understood. In time this ignorance of the abstract was to lead to the first downfall of the Toltecs, for it gave rise to the worst form of selfishness imaginable.
For thousthands of years the Toltecs led their people superbly, and the whole of their world, by then known as Atlantis prospered in great material weatlh and power. It was from this rule by the Toltecs that their world derived its name, for the word ATL mean head or ruler.
The people of Atlantis had an Emperor, known as the White Emperor by virtue of the fact that his Knowledge was the greastes amongst Toltecs and as such he was likened to a great white light. The Emperor ruled his people from the capital city of the Toltecs, known as the city of the golden gates.
Because the crafts they had been taught by the Toltecs were specialized, the people had been divided into clans, much like guilds, and each of these guilds, and each of these guilds was governed by a small group of toltecs. Thse clans lived in citiesm each city being governed by a seniour Toltec who had status equivelent to a king These kings in turn were ruled by the Emperor, who was surrounded by a group of the more learned and powerfull of the Toltecs. As time went on, and as the knowedlge of the people grew, so some of the clans together with their kings, became ambitious for more knowledge and power. No longer content with the knowldege and the power they had, these people started to look at their neighbours and more advenced toltecs with envy. It was not long before greed drove some of the toltecs to start experimenting with ways in which to increase their psychic abilities in an attempt to gain superiority over others. This was the begining of Sorcery, and the practice of the black art.
Having no real grasp of the abstract, Toltecs on the whole did not understand their psychic abilites any more than a duck understands how it swims.( even if from our point of view, we see that they swim since they have legs that moving in a spcefic pattern propels them forward or backwards, regardless of what we may understand of these sequence of movements, a duck, with its on "reasoning" would not view this like that, henceforth i deduce that the same can be of our more complex dualitys and sides, perhaps easy for another being to understand, say, an inorganic entity...regardless for us, it is not...) Consequently, the toltecs who turned their hand to sorcery began to develep the most elaborate and intricate rituals with which to boost their power.(will and power are synonymos terms for the product of perception)Even though they did not realise that these rituals served no purporse other than strenghten their will, these sorcerers nevertheless managed to increase their power to such an extent that they began to overrun and dominate other cities and Toltecs. Rebellion and strife spread rapidily as Toltec fought Toltec for supremecy. Warfare had been discovered and launched full-scale, but as this was a war fought not only with physical weapons but also with psychic weapons, the destruction was terrible.The white Emperor and his group of Toltecs advisors were eventually driven from the city of the golden gates, after whcich the sorcerers put one of their own upon the throne. The Whit Emperor, his advisors, and many of the kings, were by this time sufficiently aware of the interrelationships of all of life, and could therefor forsee the consequences of sorcery. This lead to the start of the great toltec migration, for the White Emperor and his followers started to move north into egypt, and west into North and South AMerica in an attempt to save themselves and their people from the disasters they could foresee. So great had become the black toltecs command over the forces of nature, and so limited was their understanding of the interrealionship of all, that it did not take them long to umbalance the forces of the earth to such an extent that natural cataclysms started to occur. The first great catastrophe struck in approximatly 800.000 b.c.e . The cataclysm of earthquakes and tidal wavees shaterred the main continent into a great many islands of varying size and destroyed the City of the golden gates, together with the Black Emperor and his sorcerers. For a while this warning kept sorcery at bay, but relatively speaking it was not long before greed once again resurfaced, and in approsimatly 200.000 b.c.e. the second great cataclysm reduced the remains of ATLANTIS down to two huge islands, Daitya and Ruta. This time the warning was not heeded for quite so long. The toltecs upon Ruta, by then hopelessly addicted to the black art, brought about another cataclysm in 75.000 b.c.e, destroying both Ruta and Daitya, and heaving up the large island that was to become Known as Poseidonis. In 9.564 b.c.e., Poseidonis also met its fate as it sunk beneath massive tidal waves brought about by violent volcanic etuption. Atlantis and her black sorcerers were finally gone forever. At various times during the destruction of the mother continent the remnants of the atlanteans migrated to other parts of the world, some of which had emerged as a result of the major cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis. On the whole, these remenants led and guided by their toltec kings and priets did not fare at all well. Some, however, did manage to find lands where they could settle and even flourish. Notable amoognst those who prospered were the egyptian dynasties, the chaldeans, peruvians, akkadians, tibetans, and to a lesser extent various smaller groups scattered throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. In time, most of the weaker lines lost their Toltecs Kings and priets, either through wars or natural causes. Where there were no descendants of the seers the people started to fall into barbaric ignorance. This same fate also befall many of the stronger lines, and in time they too were likewise impoverished. The number of trully learned seers diminished rapidly as finding and training suitable successors became increasingly dificult. The atavistic abilities of the orginal seers had moreover started to die out due to the steady develpment of the rational mind. This develpment of rattional thought had become necessary in order to gain greater knoweldge of the abstract, of matter and of the forces of duality.
By the time Poseidonis met its end there were only a handfull of natural seers left in the world, and in time these too died out. This meant that most of the Toltecs descendants, although extremely knowledgeable and capable of leading, were now no longer seers. This lack of seers was obviously a serious setback. In their endevour to regain their abilities of their ancestors, the toltecs used their knowledge of medicinal plants and drugs to enable them to see. The drugs worked after a fashion, but the cost to the physical body and brain(humanitys shared amasingly stupid stupidity, probably genatic, of wanting to be drugged...must come from here ) from using these plants continuously was soon found to outweight the benefits. Even so, toltecs had no other means by which to see, and although the rate of mortality, insanity and failure kept escalating, theys desperatly continued with their experiments. Dark and terrible as this time was, it nevertheles brought toltecs face to face with the hard facts of life on the physical plane, and thus the effects brought about by the necessary develpment of the rational mind finally caught up with the toltecs, extracting a heavy toll. Yet this also meant that even though toltecs had lost their atavistic abilities, they were for the first time faced with the opportunity to discover what those abilities had really consisted of in the first place, and exactly how these worked in practice. It was not until much later that toltecs could see in retrospect what a gift this time had been, for it was during this period of constant struggle and failure that they learned to look deep within themselves and to find there faculties they had never knew they possessed. Without realising it at the time, toltecs had taken a huge step forward in their develpment and had in addition defined one of the fundamentals of the toltec path, namely that a warrior lives by the challenge.
As time went on, toltecs became more selective in their use of drugs, and therefor more proficient. The rate of failure and mortility started to decline, whilst the numbers of seers increased. But by this time toltecs were faced with yet another problem, one which was so sbulte that they did not identify what it was until too late. Toltecs had becomed obsessed with their desire to see to such an extent that seeing had become for them more important than knowledge itself. With this obsession, the sobriaty of their former knoweldge quickly became replaced by the same arrogance and self-importance that had been the downfall of the sorcerers in Atlantis. the black art had once agin reared its ugly head, and now even the remaining toltecs succumbed to sorcery. This was the era that Carlos Castaneda describes in his books as that of the Old Seers.
Using their rediscovered ability to see, the old seers began reviving most of the old practices, and it did not take long to reinstate the rituals and incantions which had been specialized knowledge of the sorcerers of Atlantis. These rituals allowed the Old Seers to manipulate their awareness in such a manner that they could achieve what we today call altered states of perception. By using these rituals and entering into different states of awhereness, the old seers learned an enormous amount, not only about themselves but also about the other life-forms, both organic and inorganic, which share the planet with man. Like their atlantean predecessors, the old seers were remarkbly clever at amassing facts and information but, since their sense of self importance was so great, they used this info to dominate anything that caught their attention...It was the lack of being able to command will which saved the world from yet more psychic warfare and which ultimatly brought about the destruction of the seers...The manifested universe is an infinity beyound our understanding of time and space, for its size and complexity cannot be rendered compreensible in temrs of words or mortalconcepts. It is not god, for god after all is a part of what we know. But beyound words, beyound descriptions, beyound concept, lies that indescribable, imcompresnsible No-Thing, which can only be termed the, Unspeakble...(felt it is, and that is more then enough) this was another error of the old seers, in their arrogance they never stopped to consider that most of what contistutes the manifested universe is utterly imconpreensible and unknowable within the framework of our human condition( hu-man)"....
Hummm? What does at all mean if we do not have the tools, sort of speak, to know the thruth in this "veil"...or, do we...? Perhaps the people in key positions of knowledge should give them selfs a break, take a kit kat, read the post on life and death, and perhaps........descriminate wiselly...dificult task indeed....no?
Peace my friends.
