The galaxy before us
Start further back than the planet.
The esoteric sources describe a galaxy that was already old and already populated when anything happened here. And the first people in it were not human.
The reptilians were first. Two legs, two arms, a head, a heavy tail, walking upright. They had ships and they had weapons. They held the galaxy, and one account has them fighting insectoids for it.
Grindle, a Shim reptilian, puts it in his own voice: the reptilian genome and reptilian culture are the older stratum in this universe. We are more ancient. We are dinosaurs coming before mammals, not only on Earth but in the galaxy. Before the Lyrans came we were dominant here (James E. Charles, Grindle).
How old is not settled. Zespotds, a third reptilian race, says the reptilian presence predates humanity by something under a billion years (James E. Charles, Zespotds).
Then the Lyrans arrived, and they came from outside this galaxy.
They settled around the star we call Lyra and built a civilization there. They are described as the first humanoid mammals in the galaxy, with feline features, peaceful, of high spiritual vibration.
The reptilians treated them as invaders.
There was a war and the Lyrans lost their planet. It was destroyed.
And what they did next is the thing that made the galaxy we live in. Rather than fight, they scattered. Refugees, in every direction, across the whole galaxy.
From that diaspora came everyone. The Pleiadians, the Sirians, the Arcturians, and eventually us. One session traces the route: outward from Lyra to Orion, and from Orion to the Pleiades, each move driven by groups wanting to live their own way, in much the same pattern as settlers leaving Europe for a new continent.
The Lyrans kept their old culture and their language through all of it.
So the quarrel between humans and reptilians is older than this planet. It was already ancient when the Earth formed, and what happened here later is a local instance of it.
Half a billion years ago
The Lyrans came to this solar system and seeded it. Not one world but several, along with stars in the neighbouring cluster.
What the ground shows at that date is the Cambrian explosion.
For three billion years before it, life here was single cells. No animals, no plants, nothing with a shape. That is three quarters of the whole history of life on this planet.
Then, in a few tens of millions of years, nearly every animal body plan alive today appears. Arthropods, molluscs, worms, the first animals with a backbone. Hardly any new plans since (Erwin et al. 2011).
Darwin knew this was a problem for his theory and said so (Darwin 1859). It remains one. The standard explanations involve rising oxygen, the evolution of eyes, and the beginning of predation, and none of them accounts for the suddenness.
A second source lands on the same window from a different direction. The Lundager material describes a mass extinction around half a billion years ago, after which the Earth accepted what it calls reptilian codes. Reptilian beings then began experimenting with physical genetics here, and those experiments produced the dinosaurs (Lundager 2021).
Two unconnected sources, deliberate genetic work, at the point where complex life arrives without explanation. One calls it a seeding. The other calls it a genetic project.
Seeding and evolution are not alternatives
Evolution happens. It is observable and nothing here disputes it.
The claim is that seeding also happens, at intervals, and that evolution runs between seedings. Material is introduced. It evolves for a very long period under ordinary pressures. Later, more material is introduced.
A record of that history would show long stretches of gradual change punctuated by sudden appearances that gradualism cannot account for.
Which is what the record shows, and the Cambrian is not the only case.
Flowering plants. Before them the world was green and had no flowers in it. Then, around a hundred and thirty million years ago, they appear, and within thirty million years they have taken over the vegetation of the whole planet (Crane et al. 1995).
The land had been carrying plants for about three hundred and forty million years by then. So the takeover happened in under a tenth of the time plants had existed on land at all.
Darwin called it an abominable mystery in a letter of 1879, and the phrase stuck because the problem did (Friedman 2009). The pollinating insects were already there: insects had pollinated cycads and seed ferns for tens of millions of years before flowering plants appeared. What arrived suddenly was the flower, and that is what a seeding looks like.
The mammals after the asteroid. For a hundred and sixty million years mammals stayed small. Nothing larger than a badger.
Within ten million years of the dinosaurs going there are whales, bats, horses and primates. Ten million against the hundred and sixty they had spent small: about one part in sixteen. In that time the class produced an animal that swims the oceans, an animal that flies, and an animal that would build cities (O'Leary et al. 2013).
The bats are the sharpest case. They appear already flying, and nobody has found a form in between.
And one whole biology that started and stopped. Around five hundred and seventy-five million years ago, just before the Cambrian, large soft-bodied organisms appear on the sea floor. Fronds, discs, quilted mats, shaped like nothing before them and nothing since. They last thirty million years, about one part in a hundred of the time life had then existed, and then they go, leaving no descendants anybody has been able to identify (Narbonne 2005).
Orthodox biology expects change to accumulate slowly. These appearances are quick even measured against the spans they sit in.
Who arrived, and in what order
The fossil sequence here is fish, then insects, then amphibians, then reptiles, then mammals.
The channeled sources give the same order in the galaxy, and add something the fossils cannot. Which of them built civilizations first is not clear. Insectoids, reptilians or humans. The insectoids are very ancient, and the Alpha Centaurians may be related to amphibians.
Both reptilians and mammals came to Earth from outside.
Zespotds, a third reptilian race, was asked directly whether that was so (James E. Charles, Zespotds). The exchange runs:
So is it true to say that both reptilians and mammals came to Earth from outside?
Pretty much, yeah. So you did have the beginnings of life on your planet, and that's why they came and brought things. They saw it was sustainable.
Asked how the timing worked, the same source put the human arrival in the galaxy after the Earth had already formed. The reptilians were on their own planet first. Then the Lyrans came, less than a billion years ago.
So the planet was not seeded once into emptiness. It was found viable and then repeatedly stocked.
Four times almost everything died
After the Cambrian, life here was nearly ended four times before the extinction everyone knows about.
The worst was about two hundred and fifty million years ago, at the end of the Permian. Nine in ten marine species died and three quarters of land species with them. The likeliest cause is an enormous volcanic eruption in what is now Siberia, pouring lava across an area the size of Europe for perhaps a million years, poisoning the air and acidifying the seas (Burgess et al. 2014).
Life took ten million years to recover (Chen and Benton 2012).
The dinosaurs appear in the world that recovery produced, around two hundred and thirty million years ago, and another extinction at two hundred million cleared their remaining competitors away (Brusatte et al. 2008).
The land comes apart
Around a hundred and eighty million years ago the single supercontinent begins to break (Muller et al. 2008).
Before that, all the land on this planet was joined. The southern half of it, holding Africa, South America, Madagascar, India, Antarctica and Australia, is called Gondwana.
It separated slowly and it is still separating. India broke from Madagascar and drifted north for tens of millions of years until it struck Asia (Storey et al. 1995). Australia broke from Antarctica. The Atlantic opened between Africa and the Americas and has been widening since.
Nobody knew any of this until the nineteen sixties. Before then, continental movement was a fringe position and the people who argued for it were not taken seriously (Oreskes 1999).
This is the world Blavatsky places the Lemurians in. The Third Race, in what she calls the Secondary Age, which is the Mesozoic (Blavatsky 1888). Scott-Elliot's Lemurian maps run from the Permian through the Jurassic, and then from the Cretaceous into the Eocene (Scott-Elliot 1904).
The land they describe is Gondwana, named in the language of a nineteenth-century atlas because that was the only language available.
The reptilians were here first
Contactees and channelers widely agree that the reptilians were on this planet before us. The reptilians, speaking through the channels, say they evolved here naturally, while we were genetically modified, with a great deal of interference in our history.
They also say the surface is theirs, and that other extraterrestrial groups banned them from it long ago for causing havoc. They have come out of hiding since, and they use human bodies, or human-looking bodies of their own making.
And what we are made of
We are Earth primates at base. Most of our genes have a counterpart in every other vertebrate, the lizards included, and a bone structure close enough that the resemblance holds through the skeleton. What separates mammals from reptiles is live birth and milk, and live birth is the larger of the two.
On top of that base sit the infusions. Pleiadian, Lyran, Arcturian, and the others this book will come to.
So the ancient quarrel between humans and reptilians is between two branches of one tree, each sharing nine tenths of its material with the other and with everything else alive here.
Sixty-six million years ago
Here the account leaves the esoteric sources and turns to geology. A rock about ten kilometres across struck what is now the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico (Schulte et al. 2010).
The crater is a hundred and eighty kilometres wide and it is still there, buried under later rock and found by oil surveys (Hildebrand et al. 1991).
The impact threw enough material into the atmosphere to darken the sky worldwide for years. Photosynthesis largely stopped. The food chains collapsed from the bottom.
The dinosaurs had held this planet for a hundred and sixty-five million years. They ended in what was, on any reasonable estimate, a matter of months to a few years (Schulte et al. 2010).
Three quarters of all species on Earth went with them (Schulte et al. 2010).
James E. Charles describes catastrophic resets, and names the end of the dinosaurs as one of them. He says some civilizations left this planet before it came (James E. Charles).
