The Return of the Watchers (Armageddon Rising Book 1) (17 page)

              “Humans, as they exist on Earth, are avatars: flesh forms that house their true selves, their spirits. Human spirits are immortal, everlasting entities; some created from the beginning of the universe, some after, and others currently coming into existence. Each of them has a bit of The Creator inside them, The Source of everything; yet they still are in their infancy, even the ones created from the beginning of time. They are all inextricably connected to each other in a spiritual web or fabric, yet while they wear their human avatars the majority of them are unaware of this fact. In the spiritual dimension, there is no hatred, anger, jealousy, or malice. There are no negative emotions, and so a separate dimension, the physical dimension, was created containing countless galaxies and worlds for all of the spiritual beings to grow and develop; a school for spiritual growth where one could experience both positive and negative emotions.  The Earth school is just one of many like it.              

              “As the Earth had been formed many years prior to the arrival of humans, it served as a proper test environment for human life, with lower human life forms thriving in many areas. Different beings across different galaxies have been made to allow for different amounts of spiritual growth; some beings have much higher growth and development and therefore they have been reborn into bodies capable of expanding their potential.

“A proper analogy would be the sport of racing. One who is a complete novice might begin with the most basic devices for locomotion, perhaps a skateboard or a bicycle, eventually moving to a motorized kart. From there perhaps they get a faster kart, then an automobile. When their skills have progressed over time with the automobile they may attempt a beginner race car, gradually moving up in speed and complexity. It is the same with spirits and avatars: As they advance in development they reincarnate into higher life forms.

“Yes, all sentient beings re-incarnate. It is an integral and fundamental component of existence. The human spirit has to undergo sufficient trial and tribulations to give it strength, much the way human athletes use weights to strengthen their muscles; so it is with the soul. For some, they are born and live for a time to give sufficient strength to others, as a gift to bring them towards the light. This is decided beforehand; the spirit that is strong may be born again to help train the spirit forms of others. Some who pass before their spirit has been trained will undergo a rebirthing to give them an opportunity to advance towards the light. Also, a spirit in need of further training may be re-born with a new set of difficulties, such as a disease or birth defect to strengthen and help them achieve the light.

“To assist them along the way, humans have spirit guides assigned to them. These are what some refer to as Angels, performing functions similar to what is done for other sentient beings. The spirit guides help humans with their tribulations in a variety of ways; they can bring their petitions to higher powers of the Angels, they can prevent a mishap from occurring, and they can assist with fending off many of the corrupted spirits inhabiting the Earth.”                                                                                                   “Evil spirits? Really?” Dorian asked incredulously.                                           “I shall explain,” Matthias said. “When a human being dies their spirit travels through the light gate to one of the planes of Heaven for a determination, or judgment. If they have a sufficient vibration, a positive energy trait, they may stay or be re-birthed to help other human spirits attain a higher vibration state. Once re-born, their memory of any previous life is removed, but their life begins with a stronger spirit. Just as there have been some terrible humans among Earth’s inhabitants, so too have there been great ones.

“If a human spirit is found to be towards darkness or a lower vibration they may be given another re-birthing to strengthen it. If they have been corrupted beyond a human re-birthing they may be sent back as a lower life form for more basic spiritual growth. In some cases they are sent to the place the fallen Angels inhabit as their spirit condemns itself. They will still be able to redeem themselves, should they accept the light which is always available to them.              

“Humans are certainly not at the top of the spiritual ladder, so to speak, yet they are not at the lowest either. There are some beings who are so much more evolved that they would recognize humans the way humans recognize ants- as significantly lower life forms.

“If we go back in time, we can see that the Earth was formed long before humans came about. It had many types of creatures that grew over the millennia, including small, ape-like creatures that eventually began to change, or evolve into upright walking mammals. This is not information you don't already know. These mammals did not possess the same spirits that humans do; theirs were animalistic in nature, yet they were advancing over time to where their bodies would be able to accept a human spirit, albeit a poorly developed one.

“Homo Sapiens were an engineered species originally designed to house a human spirit. Their design was not too different from the Homo Erectus living at the time, with the exception of their spirit. The first two, known as Adam and Eve, were prototypes for others who, after a time, were placed all around the planet to help populate it. The region of Earth where they were placed  was unique and special; I think you are aware of the ancient story of the Garden of Eden and the forbidden fruit. It was Gadre'el, one of the Satans, who deceived Eve into eating that which she should not have. There were lasting consequences for this action. For one thing, she was now able to produce offspring that were corrupt. Cain was one such offspring and his descendants still roam the Earth. As time went on there was an intermingling between Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens, producing unnatural results, corrupting the gene pool. In that era another insurrection from Heaven took place,” Matthias said, observing Dorian's reaction to this information.

              “I don’t mean to interrupt such a fascinating lecture, but I’ve been here a while and I don't want to worry my loved ones,” Dorian said,  checking for a watch that wasn’t on his wrist.                                                         “Oh, you need not be concerned over the time you’ve spent here. Time in this dimension is offset significantly from that of Earth. One Earth year spent in this dimension would only show the passage of sixteen days of time there. You have only been here for about five minutes and no one is at the cabin where your body is now. We are currently monitoring it for your safety,” he said putting to rest Dorian’s concern.                                          Dorian paused and sighed. “All right, continue then.”                             “Very well,” Matthias replied. “Now, where were we?  Ah yes, the insurrection. A long time ago by Earth standards, a group of two hundred and twenty Angels travelled to Earth in an effort to take human wives for themselves.”                                                                                                                              “How did they get to Earth? Did they fly over in some kind of alien spaceship?” Dorian asked.                                                                                    “Not using a craft. At the time of the original arrival on the planet, multiple gateways were left around the surface to allow for faster travel to and from their home world. The gateways could transport light beings; however, other objects could not be transported by these means.  The invader's corruption and betrayal was unexpected and had devastating results. As it was, the progeny of human and defiled Angels did not provide suitable inhabitants; many, but not all had unusual mutations that made their cohabitation impossible. The first sets of offspring, the Nephilim, were gigantic in stature; spawning the fables of the Titans. Other offspring were more human sized. The Nephilim gave rise to the Elioud. In addition, the fallen Angels educated their offspring, including the humans, in many things that were outside of the intentions of The Creator.”                                                                                                                               “Such as?”                                                                                                  “Forbidden subjects, such as the use of weapons and armor, the use of magic, enchantments, astrology, writing, and so on. From a casual perspective it would seem that knowing such things would not seem unreasonable; however, the evil and corruption within them was unleashed by this knowledge, becoming more rampant as their resources dwindled. The giants consumed everything in sight, faster than the land could sustain, while the humans were unable to control their lust for power. The two began to turn on one another.

              “There was much bloodshed on the Earth at that time and The Creator, Elohim, decided to cleanse the Earth of it. A plan was placed in motion to purge the land of almost all of the Earth’s inhabitants. The fallen and their leaders were captured and imprisoned within the Earth, while almost all of the giants and Nephilim were destroyed by the angels. Your mother was one of the Archangels that fought and imprisoned them.

“Afterwards, the great flood was unleashed, and the remainder of the world’s inhabitants were destroyed. I’m sure you’ve heard the account of Noah. The spirit forms of the giants were left to remain on the Earth, as well as many of the Nephilim. As for the humans, the few that were not too corrupt were given a rebirthing.”                                                                        “So what happened after that?”                                          
              “Everything on the Earth was destroyed, but not everything within it was. At that time there were seven human females who had had an immaculate conception; that is, they all had a child without a human father. All were chosen because they were righteous women and those special children we call the Dumuzi. There were seven before the flood and five after. The original seven who were of Angelic origin were as skilled as the Angels themselves, but did not share their knowledge with humans. That is when Anidon came into existence.”                                           “I'm sorry, Anidon?” Dorian asked.                                                                        “It is the home for beings like us, our sanctuary. Your father was one of the original seven who found the dimensional space within the Earth. He along with the other six and their families found Anidon as a safe haven during the great flood, and it is still in use to this day.

“So now you have a basic understanding of the course of human history and why humans are on Earth,” Matthias said.                                          “Thanks for that, but what does all of this have to do with me?”               “Today we face unprecedented numbers of the fallen and their agents. There is not a single government on Earth that has not been infiltrated by them, and events are leading to a worldwide takeover. In addition to human weapons and technology, all the advancements of the Angels are at their disposal as well. They have infected various governments on this world and on others in an attempt to gain control and ultimately, we suspect, to use the humans' spirit energy to attempt a take over of Heaven again. Another great war is approaching as multiple prophecies are coming to fruition. If we do not have all of the support we can possibly get, all will be lost. We simply do not have the numbers to contend with the opposing forces. Will you at least consider joining our cause?”                                                                                                                               Dorian was overwhelmed with the amount of information he had been given and it was becoming unbearable. “Okay, this is too much. I feel as if I’m losing my mind here. Thirty days ago I was writing a grant proposal for my research and final exams for my students. Now I’m caught up in some end of the world scenario with alien Angels and demons. I thought it might be nice to know about where I came from and why I was given up for adoption.  But this- this is beyond my wildest imagination.

“Listen, you don’t need me. I’m pretty sure the Angels can take care of themselves, right? They won their war before, I’m willing to venture they can do it again. Besides, what can I possibly offer? I'm just a researcher. I don't think I would do very well on a battlefield or anything like that.”                                                                                                                              Matthias could see that he might have overestimated Dorian’s ability to take in all of the information and remain rational. “My apologies. I see that I’ve upset you and you have every right to be upset. To give you all this information about your birth parents and the history of Earth- I suppose it was too much.”                                                                                                   He started to move towards Dorian to rebalance him and Dorian recoiled.

“I'm fine. It's okay,” Dorian said holding his hand up.                            “Very well, as you wish,” Matthias said in a diminutive voice. 

“You work your whole life to save up for a place, get a few things along the way, have friends, family. I suppose none of it matters., It's all an illusion, as you say. It's bad enough the humans are tearing each other apart on a regular basis and destroying themselves. What's going to be left after all is said and done?  Isn’t there enough death and destruction already?”                                                                                                                 Matthias looked at him with gentleness. “Dorian, even though the world of Earth may be changing does not mean everything is coming to an end. It signals the dawn of a new beginning. The material things you had on Earth were there to give comfort to the hardships that all beings face while training their spirits. They are Earthly things, and as such will perish with the Earth. You are not of this Earth, and your future lies beyond your imagining.”                                                                                                                                “Matthias, I see the desperation in your message and the situation, but I'm not sure what use I'm going to be for your cause. I have no real skill set apart from a specialized knowledge that I very much doubt would be of any benefit to your needs,” Dorian pointed out.                                          “You have a great power within you that lies dormant. We can  show you how to use it. The knowledge we have gained from our leaders and experience over the millennia can be yours if you would allow us to instruct you. I’m sure you’ve noticed the events taking place on the Earth  of late; the wars, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, volcanic activity, murders, thievery, and the overall corruption. These are a direct result of the actions of the fallen Angels and their accomplices. They have been poisoning the humans and searching for a way to free their brethren, events which have been foretold long ago by some. You have already been caught up in it, as seen by their attachment of the Shemzol to your head. There is more good you can do with us than with your research, and I believe there are others on Earth that you care about; others worth fighting for. We will need everyone on the side of light to help us fight the darkness or we are lost.
