maybe...
and I'm not even sure you want to hear this...
we were only recently (in the last 10,000 years) more intimately connected i.e. electrically connected, through our proto-Saturnian brown-dwarf star MORE CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSE than we are today.
When I meditate, I realize that I am only a single leaf on a single branch of a single tree... maybe in the past, because of our more-electrical connectivity to the Electrical Plasma Grid of the Electric Uni verse, we were more aware of this than we are today. Maybe there was more of an opportunity to lift ourselves from our so-called fixed position on this 'tree' and move around from leaf to leaf, from branch to branch. Maybe, out there in the universe are many new trees to discover...
Maybe... in a different time, man was a star traveler.
