For the past quarter century, I’ve been trying to assemble the infinitely complex, cosmic jigsaw puzzle, showing how Earth and humanity fit into the big picture. Thanks to modern science and The Seven finer beings, most of the major puzzle pieces are available to us today, in the spring of 2026. Now it’s just a matter of fitting the pieces together (with the help of AI searching).

The facts of the following story, provided by The Seven finer beings, are highlighted in bold text. The rest is scientific theory (italic text) and my own speculation based on some pretty good evidence (regular text).

THE SOURCE AND THE BIG BANG

Did the cosmos start with a Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago (as scientific evidence suggests)? Or is it constantly, eternally unfolding and evolving (as religions attest)? It’s probably both.
In the timeless all-that-is, the source embodies a constant, never-ending process to create and sustain the infinite cosmos with its rich life-energy.
In our physical universe, the cosmos and its source are perceived through the lens of time and space, giving them a sense of beginnings and boundaries (e.g. the Big Bang and the edge of the universe).

SPIRALING GALAXIES AND ANGELIC CLUSTERS

Countless stars spiraling in a galaxy around a black hole (left) are reminiscent of the countless angelic beings spiraling around a central source of cosmic light, as envisioned by the Italian mystic Dante Alighieri in the 1300s (and illustrated here on the right by Gustave Doré in 1868).
I suspect stars are brilliant, inconceivably powerful light beings (but without the wings) at level 7 that only appear (here at level 1) to be lifeless, giant balls of burning gas. 
Physical planets sustained by a star are complex communities and ecosystems, presumably under the management of bright and capable physical beings who serve as stewards.
Life throughout the cosmos is intended to be mutualistic (win-win) and commensalistic (live-and-let-live). It’s a peaceful, flourishing cosmos as a general rule. Earth is a rare exception, with its win-lose relationships involving predators, parasites, and competitors that stir up fear, confusion, animosity, and other dark motivations.

SOLAR SYSTEM

Was our solar system formed 4.567 billion years ago from a collapsing solar nebula, as modern science believes? Or is our sun a typical star whose role is to support a solar community of planets, virtually forever… a scenario that makes more sense to me, especially when we take into account the spiritual nesting of the cosmos (below)….

.

NESTED LIFE

This pulled-apart picture shows the superimposed cosmos—the all-that-is—broken down into 7 arbitrary levels, all leading to a central source that religions call God, Allah, Brahman…. Each level contains many dimensions, planes, and parallel universes… (and I’m not sure what the difference is between those 3 things).
Any person or planet (or any other living thing) in our universe has a physical body (level 1) and a bunch of nested spirit bodies (levels 2-7). Those spirit bodies and worlds get finer and more perfect as they approach the source, which is beyond level 7. When any physical thing dies or is destroyed at level 1, its spirit bodies live on. The spiritual planet Eden (Marduk) flourishes at level 3. That’s our afterlife paradise home, where most people on Earth awaken after they die.
It’s a tragic story of how level 3 Eden became the paradise afterlife home for people on level 1 Earth….

.

TWO EDENS

There used to be two Edens:

1. that level 3 afterlife world (a spirit planet Eden that’s about “the size of Saturn”)… (and I’m not sure if they mean that their world is the massive size of the gas giant Saturn or a small, rocky Saturn that must have existed before it became a gas giant???), and
2. a level 1 physical planet Eden that was probably a bit bigger and denser than Earth. Physical planet Eden probably orbited our sun between Mars and Jupiter, where the asteroid belt is today.

A portal or space-time gateway between the physical Eden and spiritual Eden allowed communication and transportation between the two worlds. 
The Edenites were peaceful, brilliant superhumans whom we today might think of as gods. They managed and nurtured a flourishing, complex ecosystem on physical planet Eden. They established colonies on Earth and probably on Mars and Venus as well, where they were busy spreading the paradise qualities of Eden.
Then calamity struck….

.

PARADISE LOST

At some point,* physical planet Eden was pulverized—probably as a result of a massive technology that got out of control—and the portal between level 3 and level 1 was irreparably broken.

.

SURVIVAL OF EARTH

The catastrophic demise of Eden might have happened a half-billion to a billion years ago, give or take…. Whatever the timeline, Edenite colonists on Earth were suddenly marooned here at level 1 and were the only surviving Edenites. They no longer had a portal to spirit world Eden at level 3. Those superhuman castaways on Earth still had a mental (telepathic) rapport to communicate with their spiritual home world Eden, but they could no longer travel between the two worlds, except (eventually) through the cycle of living, dying, and reincarnating.
Today there is constant interplay between level 3 (spiritual) Eden and level 1 (physical) Earth.
There’s the endless cycle of birth, death, and reincarnation. (5.4)
Also, the collective thoughts and beliefs in one world play a big role in shaping reality in the other world. (2.4)

THE SERPENT*

In 1996, The Seven told us:
Long, long ago when humans came to Earth from Eden (or Marduk), they lost mastery over nature after their dissension with the serpent. Humans had to fight against nature and some its most dangerous creatures that couldn’t submit to the humans’ superior intellect, and had to be defeated and destroyed by cunning and strength…. (1.1)
To me, that points clearly to dinosaurs as “the serpent,” which suggests that those brilliant, peaceful Edenites were on Earth before the Age of Dinosaurs (which began some 250,000,000 years ago.
The dinosaurs themselves were not “evil”—they were just creatures trying to protect themselves and their kind. It was the humans’ dissension with the monstrous animals that stirred up fears, resentment, hate, and other dark motivations that we came to call “evil.” (3.2)
Today, there’s always a temptation in us humans to migrate toward the darkness, which explains our attraction to dramatic stories of struggle between light and dark, between good and evil… or whatever terms we use to describe the ethical duality that grew out of our ancestors’ contention with dinosaurs.
The brilliant, peaceful Edenites were ill suited to battle dinosaurs, so they birthed a generation of scrappy titans. (1.2).
Since then….

PROJECT SOTHIS

A project has been underway for the past 20,000 years or so, instigated and monitored by finer beings like The Seven, to establish a portal between level 1 Earth and level 3 Eden—but the scrappy nature of earth life makes a resonant portal exceedingly difficult. That became apparent in Atlantis, where the final phase of Project Sothis failed to establish a portal or gateway or space-time arch. (1.4)
It became even more apparent late last century….

.

THE INIT GROUP

At the end of the 20^th Century, The Seven finer beings made a last-ditch effort to establish a portal between physical Earth and spiritual Eden. They chose a schoolteacher of children in Luxembourg—Maggy Fischbach—whose kindness, wisdom, sensitivity, ancient karma, and other fine qualities made her a good candidate to help establish an Earth-based portal to level 3 Eden.
The project began with an ITC bridge in the 1980s that allowed spirit friends at level 3 Eden to deliver messages and images directly through Maggy’s phones, computers, radios, TVs, and other devices. They urged Maggy and her husband Jules Harsch to establish an international research group.
I met the couple in 1994 and helped them form INIT (the International Network for Instrumental Transcommunication) in 1995. Our spirit friends at level 3 Eden began to call various INIT members on the phone, talk through their radios, and show themselves on TV. They began to materialize things in the presence of INIT members—ancient coins, baubles, scraps of paper with messages and maps scrawled on them, and even a living plant not of Earth. All of these seemingly miraculous events were leading toward the formation of a portal that would allow fluid communication and transportation between Earth and Eden.
Unfortunately, a fully operational portal was not achieved. The portal would require mental harmony at both ends—resonant, compatible thoughts, attitudes, and knowledge shared by the humans on level 1 Earth and their spirit friends in level 3 paradise Eden.
That’s unlikely to happen on Earth anytime soon, for a couple of reasons:
1) Most people today have either no beliefs or diverse, incompatible beliefs about the afterlife, so at some point, we on Earth—a lot of us—will have to agree on a common cosmology that our spirit friends at level 3 also find acceptable. Mutual understanding provides the mental resonance that would make a portal or space-time gateway possible. (4.1)
2) Most people are caught up in dramas that stir fear, envy, hate, and other dissonant attitudes that are out-of-sync with paradise. (3.1)
Even we INIT members in the 1990s, constantly under fire from skeptical scientists and envious afterlife researchers, harbored mixed feelings (and often argued) about how to deal with scientists and fellow researchers working outside of our INIT group—approach them or ignore them?… share our results with them or protect our results from them?…. (1.5)
In any case, Earth’s scrappy nature prevented the paradise portal.

.

APOCALYPSE

So, The Seven told us that the stubborn antagonism inherent in human nature here on Earth has led us to apocalyptic times… once again:
We whom you call Rainbow People have often given you the real purpose of ITC contacts: Mankind at the end time should be led back to the principle. Light and darkness shall unite and form a whole again. What people experience now (in 1996) is not the actual beginning of the apocalypse, but only the first symptoms of it. Before opposites can be united, the strength of unity among ITC people must increase and come from a pure heart. (6.3)

END OF THE SECOND EPOCH

The First Epoch of modern humanity centered around Atlantis, which rose, flourished, and fell thousands of years ago. The Second Epoch began in Babylon and is now coming to a close. We humans of the Second Epoch have witnessed the rise and fall of empires, and there are signs all around us today pointing to an approaching “end time.” Light from the source and darkness from Earth’s shadow are flooding into our world, bringing enlightenment and mayhem, accelerating toward a gruesome endgame of social, political, climatic, and geologic upheavals, which are already well underway. (1.5)
The best way forward is to commit to the light, which is the way of the greater cosmos.

.

INSTRUMENTS OF LIGHT

More and more people are becoming instruments of light by understanding and acknowledging their oneness with the cosmos, adapting that intimate awareness into their daily lives, and acting accordingly. They start to live the harmony that embodies life throughout the cosmos, by practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation and contemplation. (I’m partial to heart meditation.) As the daily dramas of Earth living disrupt their lives, they deal with them appropriately, then make a conscious effort to return to that perfect place of inner light at the center of their being.

The duality of good and bad that has emerged on Earth since our earliest ancestors’ dissension with the serpent (whether we think of “the serpent” as evil or as snakes/dinosaurs)… that duality starts to have less impact on the lives of these instruments of light. They realize that the darkness of the shadow is just a mirage. Our genuine, eternal heritage is oneness with the perfect harmony of the source… the light.
