In my view, 6000 years ago the peoples of India either were far more advanced than NASA and then somehow mysteriously forgot - or the Mahabharata is the history of and evidence for an off-world civilization that did colonize this planet.
In 1988, Lana Corrine Cantrell, a brilliant mysterious, somewhat eccentric woman wrote "The Greatest Story Never Told", a book that combined multiple ancient culture histories turned-into-myth as one story - the story of our ancient off-world ancestors.
I first read Cantrell's 'The Greatest Story Never Told' in 1989, but in those days I had not yet read the great Sanskrit epic, The Mahabharata.
Nevertheless I had studied Zecharia Sitchin's work and I was deeply impressed with the kernel import of Cantrell's eclectic research. As anyone who reads her amazing research will agree, Cantrell's findings are often perplexing, confused, unscholarly, and down right bewildering.
One wonders how she managed to put both honey and monkey wrenches in her soup! Over the years, I would put her aside; but I've often wondered how many researchers have been silently influenced by her, as I was.
Say what you like about this book, but whatever is said, whatever criticisms are thrown at her dazzling, ingenious, maverick assumptions, Lana Corrine Cantrell cannot be dismissed or easily forgotten. Somehow in spite of all her strange, oblique, 'What…?' correlations she has left an imprint on the collective psyche. Obviously many felt that the lady Cantrell was truly on to something.
This is an article I thought of writing many times, and many times neglected. When I read 'The Mahabharata' or the wild marvel tales in the Puranas, I often recalled Cantrell's off-world vision.
My own visions of the colonization of planet Earth, which I wrote about in my book "Inanna Returns", continue to influence my reading of the Sanskrit texts.
More recently as I began to understand the complex reasons behind the confused translations of the Rig Veda, I again thought of this lady. So I will share my reflections with you in honor of her early research - because we do want the truth.
Perhaps this will inspire some of you.
A Disc in the Sky that is not the Sun
One of Cantrell's main themes is the idea of a 'Disc of Life,' a disc in the sky that is not our Sun, but rather some sort of satellite or ship that has the technological capability to control radiation emissions and thus climate on earth.
Cantrell's chapter entitled 'Disc of Life' uses quotations from the Mahabharata, the Rig Veda, along with Egyptian and Babylonian mythology as evidence.
The Disc is used to control the Sun's radiation and the radiation that comes from space. Interesting that Space Weather has become so important in our own time as we are warned by NASA and the media how a solar storm could devastate our electronic digital civilization.
Millions are being spent to send up 1000's of exploratory satellites in space, while discs are positioned around the planet at great cost to detect gamma rays and other particles shot at our world, emissions through which we are always sailing under the fluctuating protection of Earth's magnetic field.
Cantrell says that the Disc was used to counteract the dangerous radiations of the Sun and thereby lower unstable carbon, which she purports, had caused harmful effects even in the bodies of the colonizers. She says that initially the Disc was life, but eventually would be perverted into an instrument of death.
Cantrell quotes from the J.A.B. van Buitenen translation of the Mahabharata, his Vol. 2, The Halls of the World Guardians 2(20)11, which is known as the Sabha Parva in the Indian M.N. Dutt translation.
I have used both translations because the M.N. Dutt gives the Devanagari, the Sanskrit script, so that I can delve into the multiple meanings. Each Sanskrit word often has many meanings, which have evolved and changed over the centuries.
Surya as a Vehicle
The Sun in Sanskrit is usually described by the word SURYA.
But in the Mahabharata we find confusing statements which can only be understood if the word 'sun' isn't exclusively the centre of the solar system Sun, but rather a sky disc of light that serves various purposes.
For example, in the Sabha Parva [Book of the Assembly-Halls], the great sage Narada describes his experience of being taken to the Sabha [Hall] of Brahma by Surya.
The translation by M.N. Dutt is:
The J.A.B. van Buitenen translation is similar:
J.A.B. van Buitenen assumes the traditional meaning of Surya as being our Sun.
However, one wonders how the Sun the centre of our solar system would transport Narada to Brahma's Hall? Does the sun help Narada teleport himself in some kind of siddhic consciousness, Surya 'beam me up' - or does Narada require a vehicle to carry him?
Location is a metaphysical consequence of consciousness.
From the quoted description I would conclude that Brahma's Hall or Sabha is in another dimension, and it's very appearance is relative to the consciousness of the observer.
The appearance of solidity is always relative to consciousness, and the 'apparent' solidity of matter is said to increase in density as we descend through the cycles of time.
Self-Luminous, eternal and knows no decay
Cantrell quotes from the J.A.B. van Buitenen translation, which continues:
I interpret this to mean that the 'self-luminous' light in this dimension is quite different than what we know as 'natural' reflected light. Narada uses the solar Sun as a description of the hall, the Sabha, but the sun has just delivered him to the place.
J.A.B. van Buitenen translates Brahma's Assembly Hall as one of the halls of the World Guardians, and the verse goes on to say that in this place,
Deva Maya as Divine Wizardry
This expression "divine wizardry" is often used by J.A.B. van Buitenen to mean the Sanskrit word MAYA.
The actual Devanagari Sanskrit according to M.N. Dutt is devamaya, thus combining the word for god, deva, with maya. Maya is often misunderstood in the west. Maya is not mere illusion. Maya is creative power, force, from the verb-root mA meaning 'to measure, to limit, give form, or that which measures.'
Even the Sanskrit word deva provides confusion and challenge, for the origin of deva is 'shining' from the verb-root div meaning to shine, one who shines, gods, celestial being, light-giver, abode, sphere - thus inner non-reflected light, Light Beings.
To illustrate the difficulties encountered when translating Sanskrit words into English and how the meanings have changed over time, I will use this word SABHA as an example.
According to the Monier-Williams Sanskrit to English Dictionary, the word was used in the Rig Veda (the older 'Vedic Sanskrit') to mean: an assembly, congregation, meeting, council, public audience.
The date of the Rig Veda is unknown and unknowable.
By the time the Mahabharata was written, somewhere widely between 900 BCE and 400 AD, the meaning of SABHA had changed into:
Thus J.A.B. van Buitenen translates the descriptions of the celestial god's (devas meaning beings of light) abodes in the Sabha-Parva as 'Halls of the Worlds Guardians', while M.N. Dutt uses 'Assembly-Hall'.
However it appears that in the earlier era of the Rig Veda this word did not imply a physical structure, but was perhaps describing aggregates of beings who are magnetically aligned by states of consciousness - and the reason for,
...is because there is no solidity, at least not as we experience it in our limited five-sense perception.
Light Beings from other Dimensional Realms
One might conclude therefore that whoever wrote these texts saw beings that were from other dimensional realms, beings who were not solid, whose bodies were shining from within, and who were termed the 'shining' a word that eventually became 'gods'.
Remember that we have fallen from the cycle of time these texts originated in and that our perceptions have mutated and fallen along with our consciousness, so much so that as Hanuman told Bhima in the Mahabharata, we could not even see the forms of these beings who are still existing within earlier cycles.
Recall that one year of Anunnaki time is 3,600 years earth time.
Also intriguing that the Sanskrit verb-root 'div' can also mean abode or sphere. A disc can be a sphere, which leads back to Cantrell's Disc of Life.
After quoting the above passage from the Mahabharata,
We know that radiation destroys cells and causes cancer.
L.C.C. is a microbiologist whose second and only other book (to my knowledge) was her research into a cure for leukemia.
Next Cantrell quotes a mystifying passage from a book, (her references to resources are often less than illuminating), entitled 'The Gods of the Egyptians' Vol 2, describing an Egyptian god who in her view is controlling the disc used to modify atmospheric conditions for the good of life on earth.
This god 'the divine god of the kas' has control of water, wind, he produces light, the divine food, the heaven and star gods obey him, he makes the great gates open,
Ordinarily you might read this and say:
...meaning as we have been conditioned to think by archaeologists and religious leaders who have become limited in their thinking by accepted dogma that is being actively exposed these days.
Suppose instead we read this passage, and many more to come, as if we are in fact reading about a very technologically advanced civilization that was accustomed to observing the acts of their benefactors who had colonized their planet, given them life and was still contributing to their well being and protection.
I urge you to read what Cantrell has said and what I am proposing here through such a lens, an open-minded lens liberated from dogma.
Gates as Time Portals
The Disc was kept in a 'house' and to my knowledge our Sun is not kept in a house.
From a book entitled 'The Babylonian Genesis - The Story of Creation' by Alexander Heidel, University of Chicago Press, 1951, Cantrell quotes a passage from a Sumerian text that reports the 'sun' as also passing through a gate as,
Perhaps 'passing through a gate' refers to some kind of dimensional time portal.
Many witnesses, including myself, have seen UFOs simply vanish in the sky above. In Egypt, it was called the 'Eye of Heaven' as it watched over the people.
The Disc stayed in the 'Temple of my Eye' and was called,
I sincerely mean no disrespect, but when I look at the painting I have of Mt. Meru, the fact that it is pictured as an upside-down mountain always makes me think of an image of a 'mother ship'.
I am suggesting that often when we read ancient descriptions of Sun worshipping, what is in reality being offered is the observations of a Disc of Life that perhaps like HAARP and chemtrails, had the weather modification and the technology to alter the vast spectrum of radiation in Earth's atmosphere, to heat the Ionosphere, and provide protection from death and starvation for her people.
Zecharia Sitchin theorized that the Anunnaki wanted gold for protection of their atmosphere.
One might conclude something similar is ongoing with chemtrails, but with,
I found evidence of weather modification in my 'rendered' translations of the verses of Rig Veda III.45:
My full rendering of five verses is here.
Even the wonderful ideas put forth by David Talbott, the neo-Velikovskian who I have great respect for, in 'Remembering the End of the World' could be understood not as planets hanging in the sky, but rather as these Discs of Life, ships or huge satellites that kept the atmosphere amenable to human beings.
As Talbott says,
The Discs of Life made life on planet earth possible. No intra-planetary colonizers of a galaxy could hope to achieve life on an unknown atmosphere without such technology.
The Disc of Life was a necessity to the successful colonization of new planets.
