The word sar means head, both literally and in the sense of principal or chief. The<br />

combination sarman would thus mean the chief repository of the tradition...”<br />

“And still another possible meaning of the word sarman is... literally, those whose<br />

heads have been purified.” 428<br />

Those whose heads have been purified! What an interesting idea!<br />

The central theme of Shamanism is the “ascent to the sky” and/or the “descent”<br />

to the underworld. In the former, the practitioner experiences Ecstasy, in the latter,<br />

he battles demons that threaten the well being of humanity. There are studies that<br />

suggest evidence of the earliest practices is in the cave paintings of Lascaux with<br />

the many representations of the bird, the tutelary spirits, and the ecstatic<br />

experience (ca. 25,000 BC). Animal skulls and bones found in the sites of the<br />

European Paleolithic period (before 50,000 - ca. 30,000 BC) have been interpreted<br />

as evidence of Shamanic practice.<br />

The “ecstatic experience” is the primary phenomenon of Shamanism, and it is<br />

this ecstasy that can be seen as the act of merging with the celestial beings.<br />

Merging results in Forced Oscillation that changes Frequency. Continued<br />

interaction with Celestial beings is a form of Frequency Resonance Vibration.<br />

Q: (L) We have some questions and the first one is: You have told us in the past<br />

that you are us in the future and that you are moving this way to merge with us.<br />

A: Yes.<br />

Q: (L) As we measure time, how far in the future are you us?<br />

A: Indeterminate as you measure time. [...] What is “future”, anyway?<br />

Q: (L) The future is simultaneous events, just different locales in space/time,<br />

just a different focus of consciousness, is that correct?<br />

A: Yes, so if that is true, why try to apply linear thinking here, you see, we are<br />

merging with you right now!<br />

The idea that there was a time when man was directly in contact with the<br />

Celestial Beings is at the root of the myths of the Golden Age that have been<br />

redacted to the Grail stories of the 11th and 12th centuries. During this<br />

paradisiacal time, it is suggested that communications between heaven and earth<br />

were easy and accessible to everyone. Myths tell us of a time when the “gods<br />

withdrew” from mankind. As a result of some “happening”, i.e. “The Fall”, the<br />

communications were broken off and the Celestial Beings withdrew to the highest<br />

heavens.<br />

But, the myths also tell us that there were still those certain people who were<br />

able to “ascend” and commune with the gods on the behalf of their tribe or family.<br />

Through them, contact was maintained with the “guiding spirits” of the group. The<br />
