as a planet, a solar system, or a galaxy. Since Lacu is Kadar (Head) of the tribunal for this Solar System, he
would naturally use the Circle-Cross as his symbol.
Ponnar is an important personage from the planet Hatonn in the galactic system of Andromeda. The symbol
he always uses is: This symbol of "eternity" is very old and is found on several of the Tarot Cards.
The symbol of the Tree of Life or the Tree and the Serpent is one of the Earth's most ancient representations.
Remember in "_The White Sands Incident_", by Dan Fry, where Dan noticed a simple design imprinted in the
material of the seat in the Saucer? Alan said: "Oh, I see you have noticed the symbol and recognized its
significance." "Yes," Dan said, "anyone who has ever read to any extent would recognize the symbol of the
tree and the serpent. It is found in the original inscriptions and legends of every race on earth. It has always
seemed to me to be a peculiarly earthly symbol and it was startling to see it appear from the depths of space or
from whatever planet you call home."
Alan answered Dan by saying: "These are things which I had hoped to put off until our next contact. There is
so much to tell and so little time. Our ancestors came originally from this earth. They had built a great empire
and a mighty science upon the continent which your legends call 'Mu' or 'Lemuria'."
Mu was symbolized as a tree--the Tree of Life. The unadorned serpent is Khan the symbol of Khanab, "The
Great Waters", the ocean. Mu was surrounded by water, even as the tree is surrounded by the serpent. There
were indigenous life forms on other worlds, but several research groups have received information that during
the catastrophes that struck both Lemuria and Atlantis, groups of people were evacuated from the Earth and
taken to other planets. Especially Mars and Venus.
"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."
(Revelation 2:7).
"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the
nations." (Revelation 22:2).
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city." (Revelation 22:14).
Swedenborg says that by "the tree of life" is signified a man who lives from God, or God living in man; and as
love and faith, wisdom and charity, or good and truth, make the life of God in a man, these are signified by the
Tree of Life, and derivatively also the eternal life of man is signified. The Babylonians had a symbol of the
Tree of Life, as did the Greeks for they spoke of "the wide spreading tree of Jove". The Egyptians had the
"pillar of degrees", apparently a conventionalized palm tree in which they showed three levels or degrees. The
Teuton mythology knows the tree Yggdrasil which grows by the well of Urd, the well of wisdom. Its branches

Early in 1952, a strange young man appeared in California. He lectured on the coming of the space people to
earth. He always spoke to small groups of students or clubs. There was nothing unusual about him except that
he wore a lapel button on which was a distinctive symbol. (See Plate XV). Here we see the familiar swastika
of the Four Forces and a serpent twined about a wand or rod. This is similar to the caduceus, a magic herald's
wand, a sacred rod having power over wealth, prosperity, happiness, and dreams, carried by the messengers of
