Before incarnating as Lyrans, those souls whom had been living at other Densities had manifested their desires as just a natural way of life; but manifestation at those levels of density is relatively fluid — held together only as long as the mind wills it.
Living in 3D they were able to manifest creations that not only remained solid, those creations then had an evolutionary life of their own! All of this made for a very rich, sensual, and magical existence that was rooted in a deep harmony with the environment.
Many of the Paa Tal became quite enamoured of this denser experience. They lived very long lifespans — hundreds of thousands of years — often reincarnating again and again, perfecting the process of merging these exciting new physical bodies with their eternal light bodies until some of them no longer needed to die and reincarnate in order to have the physical experience.
They could live in a fleshy body and, with their consciousness, change their vibration to a light body and then back again to flesh and blood at will. This group of Paa Tal souls became the spiritual leaders of the developing Lyran culture and would form the core of the group that we know today as The Ascended Masters.
And that, folks, is how we got the roots of our Eden (E.DIN) myth! Now, about that serpent…
I think it’s fair to say that most people are familiar with the story of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, the one where the snake tempts Eve and introduces the knowledge of good and evil. What most folks probably don’t know is that this story is an echo of much earlier one.
That original story is the one I’m going to tell here.
387 Million YA — The Draco have been exploring and cultivating planets in our corner of the Multiverse for some 3 million years, in an ever-constant quest for food and resources.
They have expanded out far from their original system in Alpha Draconis, as they tended to quickly use up whatever planet they spread to. They existed now primarily as a vast and far-flung fleet of interstellar ships and space stations, dependent on their network of mining, agricultural and livestock worlds.
Their sciences at this point were as advanced as you can get without integrating higher consciousness-based technology, something that the Draco did not have access to with their crude, two-stranded DNA and violent way of life.
Through genetic manipulation they have created many variants of their race, bred to various purposes such as warrior, farmer, worker, etc.., so from now on, when I refer to the Ciakar, I am referring to the original bloodline — the Royalty of the Draconian race, the White Draco.
Remember, the Draco were an androgynous and conquest-minded
people who were, as far as they knew, the only intelligent life in the Universe, so imagine their surprise and shock when one of their scout ships came back with a report of a system that not only harbored intelligent life, it harbored intelligent life that had been divided into males and females!
Males and Females who existed in harmony with vast, self- sustaining systems of lush gardens and forests, content to simply live in balance with the world, rather than using it up and moving on to the next one. Not only that, these people seemed to have some kind of ability to literally shape their environment with their thoughts.
At this point in time many souls had incarnated into the Lyran race as it grew and flourished under the guidance of the Paa Tal. They had developed interplanetary space travel and spread from E.DIN to other planets in their Solar System, but they had not developed weapons of any kind as there was no need.
The concepts of violence, fighting and war were unknown to them; there being no need for such things in a place where harmony and co-existence was the norm.
They were, in other words, ripe for the taking.
The Ciakar, upon hearing the reports of the discovery of Lyra and it’s strange, soft inhabitants, decided that they must see this for themselves. The Royal Houses assembled at a staging area outside the system and there they gathered their fleets into an armada, and watched.
It was incredulous to the Draconian mind that these creatures who had achieved interplanetary travel didn’t seem to have any sort of weapons system, which is why they waited so long before making their move — to be sure.
Also, their scientists were insistent that they must study the apparent mind-power these people possessed, but try as they might, they couldn’t understand how it functioned. They had no way to make heads or tails of a technology that was rooted in love and harmony, a technology that appeared to them as magic.
We know well from our own planetary history that when a powerful race encounters another race that it cannot understand, there is usually only one way that will play out, especially when the “weaker” race lives in a resource-rich environment.
And so the Conquest of Lyra began.
The poor Lyrans welcomed their invaders at first; having no conception of ownership or property, they couldn’t fathom that these new, apparently intelligent creatures would want to take their world from them.
They didn’t speak the same language either so communication was an issue, and though many of the Lyrans were telepathic the Draco were not, and the lizard’s alien minds were incomprehensible to them (much like when Columbus’ ships first arrived in the New World, the natives literally could not see them, their minds having no frame of reference ) and though the empathic Lyrans could feel the Draconian’s hostile intent, they could not understand it, having no context — they thought that the Draco must be wounded, or frightened in some way.
It’s not hard to imagine what went down…
The conquest of Lyra, that first slaughter of humans by reptilians, was the original holocaust — of which there have been countless karmic echoes down through the millennium.
A warning… this next part is especially intense and disturbing.
The Ciakar and their soldiers discovered that they quite enjoyed the taste of humans, who were soft and easy to kill, but there was an even darker side to their conquest. The Draco also discovered that they could get an intense high from the emotions of humans, particularly from the emotion of terror. Many Lyrans were tortured and eaten alive — the Draco gorging on the intense emotional vibrations of like a kind of horrific psychic food and drug all in one, even as they feasted on the flesh.
This was their discovery of the dark energy that became known as Loosh.
This was the original Serpent in the Garden story.
