Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... This is the Akashic Record account of the last days of Atlantis. The story of the Solar System's Third Progenitor, from the Constellation Boote, in the Star System Arcturus. She, a Master Being motivated only by love and compassion for all life, dedicates herself tirelessly and relentlessly to guiding evolving animal life forms tenuously on the razors edge between Man and Ape, on the planet known to The Intergalatic Federation of Sovereign Planets as Gaia. The planet we know as Earth. Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. The Arctureans emotional needs cause them to throw aside prohibitions against fraternizing with their creations and intermarry the genetically enhanced Gaians of Atlantis, producing progeny of high spiritual potential. There is a dark side to the laison between the gods and the daughters of men. Dark animal drives, predatory instincts, lust, greed and cruelty fail to breed out and become supercharged evil thanks to the genes of the gods. Hister is born a prodigy of malevolent evil. He leads Children of Darkness and usurps power in Atlantis. Subverting the awesome nurturing power of The Crystal, Hister turns it into an engine of destruction for World domination. It backfires Hister succeeds in destroying his enemies but in the process destroys himself, Atlantis and World civilization. Seraphis, while rushing on his Flying Platen to the Crystal City in an attempt to prevent Hister from destroying the world... is too late... the Anti-gravity network fails and Seraphis falls 10,000 feet out of the sky to his death. Or did he...DIE? He stands by an eviscerated mass of human flesh and knows it is HIS body! What happened? What does he do now?
