146 Kurmos
“watch out,” and “wow.” They are among
twelve alien races who have visited Earth.
They have bases here, some off the coasts of
Florida and Argentina, one in Brazil’s Amazon
basin, and they have lived in them, unknown
to human beings, for millions of years. They
still do not understand humanity’s tendency
to be violent and prejudiced.
The Kuran told Rolfe that the human race
originally occupied a planet located betwe e n
Mars and Ju p i t e r. They visited this planet just
b e f o re natural forces we re set to destroy it, offering
to re m ove the inhabitants to a suitable
place if they agreed to live by Kuran law. T h e
inhabitants refused, and the Kuran withdrew.
The residents of the doomed planet managed
to escape on their own. Some went to a
planet in the constellation of Pegasus, and the
o t h e r, to the Ku r a n’s displeasure, colonize d
E a rth and became our ancestors. Eart h
p roved an inhospitable place, not sufficiently
e vo l ved to have achieved the cosmic harmonies
that give rise to peaceable, we l l -
adjusted races. The new colonists, more ove r,
i n t e rf e red with Eart h’s ecology, forcing its
p revious, reigning, intelligent species fro m
the land into the oceans; humans now know
these beings as dolphins. Other alien races
who arrived we re driven off or forced to live
in remote regions. The cre a t u res humans call
Bi gfoot or Sasquatch originally came fro m
outer space.
O ver time, the new inhabitants forgot
their cosmic heritage and their true history.
E a rt h’s surface, once a single land mass surrounded
by ocean (and recalled vaguely as the
lost continent of Mu), broke up, and the people
we re scattered. Cut off from one another,
they developed different cultures and different
languages. Only an elite group called the
Magi pre s e rved knowledge of the true past.
Each harbored ambitions for himself and collected
followers. They used their know l e d g e
to abuse Eart h’s natural energies and to harness
atoms for destru c t i ve purposes. Di sturbed
by these developments, the Kuran returned
to Earth and tried to reform its
inhabitants. With their followers, they cons
t ructed the paradisiacal land of At l a n t i s ,
only to have the Magi destroy it with atomic
bombs. The nuclear explosions changed
E a rt h’s landscape and climate and created the
continents we know today.
Even today a secret conflict continues between
the Kuran and the Magi. On occasion
the Kuran have tried to interfere in human affairs,
each time with negative results. Myths
and legends of the gods of the ancient world
recount, in distorted form, previous Kuran efforts
to lead us.

Kurmos
In March 1966, a mystically inclined Scotsman
named R. Ogilvie (“Roc”) Crombie, visiting
Edinburgh’s Royal Botanic Gardens,
spotted a creature that looked half human and
half animal. Three feet tall, it had cloven
hoofs. It told Crombie that its name was Kurmos.
It was a nature spirit that helped trees to
grow.
Kurmos accompanied Crombie back to his
apartment, where it stayed for a short time.
On a subsequent trip to the garden, Crombie
called out to him, and Kurmos appeared. He
learned that in earlier ages Kurmos had been
the god Pan.

Kwan Ti Laslo
Kwan Ti Laslo channels from the Blue Diamond
Planet. This planet is not in orbit
around a sun (as planets are virtually by definition)
but rather is a sort of giant spacecraft
that travels all over the universe investigating
conditions there. The planet/spacecraft reports
its findings to the Intergalactic Council.
