This is a story of Home.
If you follow it, you must radically supersede it. Erase it, surpass it, and write it anew in your own hand… with your own life, not merely your hand and words.
But then, if you are wise, you will erase it again, and read it anew in the living world, and write, and erase, and so on.
What you’re about to read is not science fiction. It’s about the source of science and fiction. It’s a story about our ancestry, our destiny, and our future. It’s a story more like us than any story anyone ever dared to tell, and it’s at once forbidden and holy.
Like everything else you read from text, this story is a lie. But it’s a very strange species of lie. It admits this right up front, to prepare you to use it, instead of being used by it. It’s a lie engineered to lead beyond itself. That is the nature of a launch-pad — do not dismiss it out of hand.
For these and other reasons, an appropriate sense of wonder may be required as the price of admission… or, your can think of it as fuel. The latter is probably the better move.

8: Hear now O Joshua the High Priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9: For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon that one stone shall be seven eyes*: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, sayeth the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10: In that day, sayeth the Lord of hosts, shall yet call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
— Zechariah 3:8-10 [KJV]
*This appears to mean a stone upon which seven gazes (eyes, something with seven) rest? i.e. ‘seven eyes look upon one stone’

We … are … a Rock… in Space …
we… are… one. Foot. Star. Fish…
we… are…
.:.:.:.
Somewhere in Space, cradled protectively within a comparatively small and probably uncommon rock — deep within it — are tiny organisms who can not only survive in this environment, they prosper there. They are microscopic. There are probably a great many of them. There are two forms: war and healing. The warrior is poisonous, and can kill at a distance. The healer is transcendental and can defy death.
The inhabitants of these rocks may have a source of water — or not. One might have water and the other methane, or another substance. Perhaps they live in a tiny crystal in which some water is trapped, and they can either cleanse or regenerate it somehow, possibly utilizing a chemical reaction with the substrate of the rock. Perhaps they are almost completely desiccated.
Essentially, the story of Superman is their story. One is kryptonite, and the other represents the children of home planet. They could even be from Earth’s future, rather than from the universe’s past.
In this story, Superman isn’t a specific human, it’s any human being, properly endowed. They are in crystal ships. One is a blind Prince who is an excellent marksmen and bears a glass slipper, if you will.
Yes, a ‘ball’ … that a certain famous princess once wanted to get to ‘on time’. Santa and the Easter Bunny are stories having to do with these rock-stars. In fact, almost any story you point to — has to do with them. Without them we would not have stories.
As it turns out, that prince and Cinderella had children, and, like Superman, when ensconced on Earth and exposed to the rays of Sol, they become vastly more than merely human. But there’s also a danger: a stone from their past, that causes weakness, terror, and despair. A green stone. Wormwood. It comes on a cycle. It’s a kind of timekeeper. It hurts the children of the marriage, draining them. It orbits the Earth on a long schedule, along with the living ship that brought starFish here originally.
This turns out to be one of the most dangerous topics one can approach in language, since it deals directly with the source of language, and of knowledge.
:.:.:.:.:
The organisms within these little rocks in space may be in what we think of as suspended animation, or existing in an encysted state, as many terrestrial protozoa do. If so, this may more accurately be understood as extreme dreaming, rather than merely long sleeping. Humans may discount this experience based on arguments and such, however something far more interesting than human stories is afoot within it, and it is more interesting not merely than one human story: it is more interesting than –all of them combined-.
It may be that there are billions or myriads of such tiny rocks in space, each containing a unique species of these organisms, which I will call ‘oneFootStarFish’ — the swimmers between stars. The particular group I here discuss appears as a ‘pair’. They always appear together (though in some seasons they may appear to be disguised). This vaguely corresponds to the AmerIndian idea of a ‘following pair’ — beings who always appear together, as a pair, but are sometimes reversed or disguised. According to many Native American traditions, the first two children of Earth were thus…
Some worlds are unique in that they actually contain the physical descendants of a specific starFish colony who are still traveling in space. Such an event may be common or relatively uncommon. It is difficult to say, since some starFish colonies are swarms rather than single stones.
In the model I will present here, Earth is such a world. We are the long lost children of starFish, and our connection with them is ‘deeply spiritual’. We contain both varieties of the organisms in those orbiting rocks. The warrior, and the healer — this is, in part, why Superman has two identities, and even Cindrella has to ‘get home before midnight’.
So, oneFootStarFish(Monkey) — if you wish to remember the old story, follow closely.
Follow like a turtle, racing against a rabbit — with the knowledge you will win:
Picture a (white) dot against a black field.
The dot extends half a line to one side, retracts it, extends half a line to the other side, retracts it, and continues this process, extending the line a bit on each side until a complete flashing horizontal line is formed by the rapid repetitions and their afterimages (a form of reflection).
This process continues, gaining speed until the line appears solid.
The process repeats for emphasis.
Then the same process occurs on the vertical axis of the dot.
Then both, until a cross (like a plus sign) is formed by the increasing speed of the repetitions.
The first two are repeated in turn, and then the cross again.
Then the half-lines that become lines are extended at random angles on the plane, refreshing more quickly, until a flashing disc appears, then solidifies. A disc.
This expands, such that a strobing half-line begins rotating off the plane, at random angles, creating a sphere.
This process repeats: dot. half line, line, cross, disc, sphere.
The actual radius of the sphere is timeSpace.
The dot is us/you. The line is our tail, and our tale.
We are oneFootStarFish.
There is more to the truth than merely this, but you are our children.

The Remembering…
Perhaps the early universe was smaller, or of lesser extent, and the first organisms to arise and survive whatever might destroy a living world and be ejected into space would become the first starFish colony, set adrift in the earliest ‘garden’ (are there indeed 4 rivers there?). Perhaps they are from planets that no longer exist but were once a part of our solar system, or from states of planets such as Venus or Mars that supported liquid water. But where thery are from has a confusing answer, because no matter where their physical origins can be said to have occurred, because of their strange capacities to read and write in a superposition of light, starFish are from time.
Seemingly entombed within a tiny rock in space, their flagrant evolutionary prowess was refocused to produce the narrowest possible beam of expression — a beam formed partly of a connection with light at the scale of the photon. They have become something akin to honeybees — but of lived experience instead of pollen. Their ability to inform light from a superposition makes them the most sophisticated scribes imaginable, but the outcome of this activity establishes them as the central intelligence transport par excellence.
They exist within a solid. They cannot diverge into myriads of species of animals and peoples (unless they can escape the solid, into, for example, a suitable planetary environment). Instead, their evolutionary momentum is invested to produce relational benefits. Benefits that magnify the elemental gifts they each uniquely express. Driven by their circumstances, they constantly develop new ways to capitalize on their abilities to relate with one another, as individuals and as members or catalysts of various kinds of groups and sub/supergroups.
Their evolution is primarily social, and its outcomes are biocognitive or relational, and only secondarily physical. Physical evolution may also occur, but only in submicroscopic modalities that are in keeping with the strict limits of their situation, and only if starFish is not encysted or otherwise physically suspended.
Supersensing — activities and methods which extend modalities and invent transports across seemingly uncrossable gaps become the most crucial direction of their development. Monks and others who have ‘become still’ within, have perennially verified this. If one will simply settle right into the moment of now, news from afar comes on a thousand different stations. The more still one becomes, the clearer the signal. Even human beings are at least tangentially aware of this. This activity has unexpected repercussions on temporality and organismal experience in a wide and unexpectedly diverse array of ways.
Whether in their original place of origin or in deep space, starFish developed myriads of ways of connecting to each other and radically magnifying their ability to make use of the minute and uncommon resources of their situation. They learned to touch without touching; to link into symmetries without the ability to move. Finally, they discovered the very source of gaps, and of crossings, within themselves.
Just as we developed spoken language to cross the ‘gaps’ between us, they developed unspoken language, for there was no way to ‘speak’ from a frozen position inside stone. Trapped within a solid where so little expression was possible, they discovered ways — like dreamers who are essentially dead — to reach across first any gap, and then multiple kinds and forms of gap, be they gaps in distance, methods, ideas, riddles, beings, or worlds.
They effectively became, ‘the living between-ness’, otherwise known as ‘No One’, and in so doing, they became something astonishing: a living library vastly older than the linear age of the universe. They have no brains, per se — and yet, they are the living prototype of mind.

“Your world is the opposite of ours. We live in a solid, and have no space and cannot move or grow physically. You live in an evacuation, having nearly endless space — and yet you have a great deal of trouble growing connectively. When you move, you often use technologies which kill in order to travel. Why does it not occur to you that that is suicidal, as well as utterly confused?
We have only peace and mutual adoration, we do not kill to travel, and our technologies are organismal. You have constant strife and conflict, and your technologies cost organismal lives — and you worship them?
We evolve in relation to our abilities to connect with and (preserve/tend/rescue) beings and worlds.
You are evolving in relation to your own physical technologies, which attack living beings, including yourselves. This places you in competition with your world and yourself; since technologies are less than beings but compete with them for the same necessary resources and attentions. Even your ideas are thus. A kingdom divided against itself will not long stand.
These matters comprise deadly errors that are erasing you and your world from the inside out. You must remember why technologies and some species of ideas are actually toxic, and this remembering must happen immediately.”
— starFish: local 2010
From now on I will refer to starFish as the water element and oneFist as the soldier element. I will refer to both together as twoFish.
Whether they had it when the were born or developed it in space, twoFish eventually developed the capacity to reach across the gulfs that separated them from various forms of relation. The basis of this capacity is their ability to directly (and transentiently) manipulate photons in superposition. This superposition more than either a place or being, it is a being who is also a way. That is, a transcendental being who is a method of unification. Due to the unique features of timeSpace and light’s roles in it, this is not only equivalent to physical access, it surpasses physical access in terms of intimacy and open transports for general connectivity.
The capacities of the element that twoFish employs to manipulate photons are extraordinary. It allows them to cross — that is to say to bridge — any possible gap (or set of them) instantly, effortlessly, using the ‘momentum’ inherent in light. It turns out that the nature of every gap includes the solution of its own (instantaneous) crossing from the get\./go. As soon as they learn of some form of gap, for example, the distance between to instants of the unique experience of two animals — they can cross it — or, ‘heal’ it (in the case of starFish). Similarly, the oneFish can use this as a weapon which draws energy from living beings in the same way the healer inducts energy into them. The available momentum is infinite, as it can be drawn off from the source in multiple simultaneous channels without end.
The ‘available momentum’ within the superposition is magnified by access, not reduced. It is easily channeled into biocognitive ‘lenses’ formed by living starFish members. It is a simple matter to form putative ‘individuals or groups’ from any possible assembly of individuals or groups in multiple domains and positions of time and dimensionality — instantaneously, and recursively. They can employ living entities or groups as organs of cognition, directly — at any scale from the organelle to whole catalogs of living planets at once.
These groups can uniquely magnify this momentum, such that the result is a sort of overunity: the inherently available learning\./history momentum encoded within all light is uniquely channeled and magnified in multiple ways for multiple purposes by unique individuals and subgroups within any group.
Light (in superposition) comprises a living universe which (in subposition) acts like a wave or a speck: what we call a photon.
theBetween is the living superposition of light, invisibly connecting theEveryOneThingWhen, and the return connection is light as we know it. Together, they cover all points of presence — every event — from small to big, in a single net whose two elements comprise what might be called a ‘following pair’ — a pair of entities/elements who always appear together, but have many different ‘disguises’ for many different ‘festivals’. One of the pair speaks: this is oneFish. The other calls: this is starFish. oneFish is the focus of the gesture of reaching into or penetrating, starFish is the polaraty of that: pulling from. Together they form a continuum with astonishing capacities, and stories of these strange celestial twins are strewn throughout the creation myths of cultures around the world, including modern cultures such as those of the West.
In order to slice a protein, enzymes in our cells must cause a photon to achieve (or manipulate a photon in) a superposition. starFish uses a similar skill that to establish nonphysical transports — first between individual organisms within a colony, then between groups, and then to supergroups — and then across any gap imaginable.
It is not precisely like you emitting a word, or hearing one — yet the analogy is not completely inapt, either. This gesture is accomplished via a mutually (many can be involved) accessible temporal and spatial superposition which light is the expression of (within timeSpace).
Their ‘speech’ happens (above) light — and thus everything responds to it, at every scale.
In short, they ‘speak’ transluminal metaposition:
the language of theEverything.

Those who think I’m merely being imaginative are probably not yet familiar with the origins of the capacities they are using to assemble that idea, to sustain it, and to decide upon it as a response. They think that, for example, thinking happens in their heads. But without a goodly degree of peace in the gut, there would be nothing but panic in the head.
Could my confused readers actually examine the organs with which they produce their objections, they would reel in shock to see themselves reflected, in themselves, reflected…
Tardigrades (‘water bears’ or ‘moss piglets’) are polyextremophiles;
capable of withstanding all 5 types of cryptobiosis.
“The tiny tardigrade, whose size is no larger than the head of a pin, has proved to be one of Nature's toughest survivors. Laboratory experimenters have immersed it in liquid helium down to a savage -272 degrees Celsius. They have left it at -192 degrees Celsius for 20 months, and cooked it for a week at 92 degrees Celsius in ether, alcohol and other noxious chemicals. Restored to normal temperature and given water, the tardigrade strolls away. Some specimens were brought back to life after 120 years in a dry and dusty museum. ” — Natural Entrepreneur: Architecture Lessons from Nature

Like us, oneFootStarFish has a history, a story of how and where it (or they) arose, its travels, its goals and learning experiences. But to some degree theirs is mixed in with the history of the worlds they have touched, unified, read, recorded, and participated in.
It may be crude, but we can make a model of the process that lead to their unique specializations, and some of the signal events and outcomes of that process, many of which have unexpected features and ramifications. During this exploration we may branch off to correct common confusions about such simple matters as, for example, being awake and being asleep, and the differences between these states.
.:.:.
Ejected from their planetary nursery, oneFootStarFish finds themselves ‘lost in space’. Trapped within a rock, they quickly occupy themselves with the biocognitive equivalent of damage control — determining which opportunities for leveraging advantage from adversity remain to them. Some of them may already be in stasis or may choose to encyst at this point, realizing that this might provide a better chance to survive their immediate situation long enough to gain new options.
Perhaps they all went to sleep — but not the strange rest state we might imagine. ‘Sleep’ represents the activation of resources opposite to those used while awake and motile. It is another universe, where stasis is power and what appear as divisions are actually bridges.
Truly, the world is not as we imagine it by daylight, and our rationality — which we so love to sing the praises of — comprises a filter that discards more than 90% of the available content, and tells us this is necessary1.
:.:.:
During the night, we are paralyzed — our bodies placed literally into ‘suspended animation’ and (with a few exceptions) our bodies and minds are revitalized as profound metabolic rejuvenations occur. These processes are energetic, physical, and even cognitive. Without dreaming the efficacy of learning is severely impaired in most of not all people. In fact, if dreaming is significantly interfered with, most animals lose basic homeostasis abilities and die.
It should be thus apparent that if we had to do without one or the other of our life-phases, we could in most cases do without the waking one more easily, and this is the very nature of Life itself, which remains, as it has always been, fundamentally opportunistic. It knows the value of a good long rest state, and knows what to do with it. ‘Opportunistic’ in this sense does not always mean fiercely competitive — but it does always mean ‘innately sensitive to the patterns of abundance and adversity which are, invariably, the rhythm of the ebb and flow of living Creation’.
We are scripted to believe that our animated daytime activities are the important aspect of our lives, and the time spent sleeping is largely wasted. I’d like to make a simple observation: nearly none of the rather devastating problems we have caused by our thought, commerce, industry or beliefs happened due to our resting. Really, everything questionable or wrong that we’ve ever done as a species — as individuals, groups — you name it — was planned and agreed and accomplished while awake.
So what I am saying is this: what happens at night is sacred and secret, but it’s usually quite profound, and even if the images are startling or frightening, the outcomes of rest are rejuvenative and comprise a repeating resurrection. Our daytime activities and mindset are deceptively compelling, but the aspect of ourselves that awakens to reign during our sleep is indeed the holier of the two in nearly every case.
starFish may be far more efficacious and powerful in coldSleep than when awake within their stone, or ensconced in animals like ourselves, and alive in daylight. We might expect that they would only be effective if ‘awake’ or physically unsuspended, but I suggest that the opposite is more likely the truth, that the more suspended their physical aspect is, the more powerful their hyperconnective aspects become. This could be more meaningful than it appears — because dreaming turns out to be almost nothing like nearly all of our models of it.
..:::..
Enclosed in their stony ship and ejected into space all previous variables were inverted. Abundance became poverty. Motion became stasis. Warmth became cold. Safety and nourishment became uncertainty. Space became solid. In response, they either dramatically slowed their physical metabolism, or suspended it entirely, becoming, in essence ‘spiritual’ — by which I mean depending entirely or nearly entirely upon the arbitrary delivery of energetic resources such as those comprised by intrusive particles: photons, electrons, perhaps others. These cryptobiotic capacities were already established prior to their ejection, but post-ejection became the fulcrums of their evolutionary progress and survival2.
#mark of process:
“Are UFOs actually the extreme dreamers of the distant ‘little rocks’ who are still learning to read worlds? Each ‘kind’ of starFish in space could comprise either a profound benefactor (an angel) or a profound adversary (a rapacious predator). Perhaps the ‘different species’ of starFish manifest as vehicles and ‘teams’ that attain a superposition to timeSpace from which they can intervene into and examine distant worlds, with or without ‘dropping off the pollen’ as our starFish (a friendly variety) always do. And perhaps there are even starFish wars, where the different species fight over a given ‘prize world’ like, for example, Earth.”
It may well be that there is a problem with starFish when endowed with space and light to live in, and that problem is that it forgets to retard its own virulently invasive nature, to the point that it begins attacking everything in sight, including itself. But that remains for later exploration.
