The Link (62 page)

Part of its eastern seaboard is the form of Western California separated from North America by a stretch of ocean. The west coast of what will be the United States is vastly different.

Mu is a tropical country of huge plains, its fields and valleys covered with rich grasses, its hillsides shaded by luxuriant growths of vegetation. The land is intersected and watered by broad, slow-running streams and rivers which wind their sinuous ways around the wooded hills and through the fertile plains, their banks thick with giant ferns. Tall fronded palms fringe the ocean shores.

Here, in this paradise, evolution has produced the first true man of Earth.

We see the people: the dominant race tall with olive skins, dark eyes and straight black hair; the other races yellow, brown and black.

The people of the Motherland.

All dress similarly in colorful toga-type robes, sandals on their feet. All are healthy and vigorous, their children beautiful.

Seasonally, they visit pyramids built along the matrix lines where they are re-vitalized.

All have natural psychic powers.

They communicate by thought.

They move objects unaffected by the weight of gravity.

They assemble molecules to form giant figures.

We watch this happen, seeing the great monoliths created.

SHIMMER DISSOLVE TO these figures which exist today on Easter Island.

CAMERA HOLDS ON these as CAMERA PULLS BACK to Robert and Joseph watching in silence.

The globe darkens.

They leave the chamber and ascend the tunnel to the shaft, crank the platform to the surface.

As they reach it, sunrise begins. They stand in silence, watching its magnificence.

CAMERA PULLS UP SLOWLY, ENDLESSLY until we are in space, looking at the Earth below.

A SLOW UPWARD CRAWL OF WORDS begins.

The first thing that came to mind as I looked at Earth was its incredible beauty
.

It was a majestic sight—a splendid blue and white jewel suspended against a velvet black sky
.

How peacefully, how harmoniously, how marvelously it fit into the evolutionary pattern by which the universe is maintained
.

The presence of divinity became almost palpable and I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident
.

Clearly, the universe had meaning and direction
.

It was not perceptible by the sensory organs but it was there nevertheless, an unseen dimension behind the visible creation that gives it an intelligent design and that gives life purpose
