In our world where we live now — on our home planet, as you say, yes? — we live in an environment that has no visible light. If you were here, there would be no visible light. But there is light that is not visible to the human eye, and there is warmth, comfort and pleasure.

When we were visited by Creator’s emissaries, we were told that if we would volunteer to come to Earth, we would be able to live in a place that was a little cooler than we were used to, but it would not be cold in our life cycle. It would be a fairly constant temperature, and there would be no light as long as we were not disturbed. We would occasionally be in the air when there was little light, and we would, during the bright time, be underground where it was cool and moist.

Moist was something that was new to us. As is often the case (from my communing with other beings on Earth through my counterparts there), the gift of going to Earth to be there to support life and human experience there — for us, it was moist. Where we live on our home planet, “moist” does not exist as you understand it. Granted, there is a form of substance that you might consider moist, but it is not made up of hydrogen and oxygen. The closest I can compare it to, in terms of our experience, is something like zinc.

Perhaps I have not said this, but the big difference between our life form where we exist on our home planet and how we exist on your planet is that on our home planet we are a mineral being. We are not biological at all, so our functions are completely different. We are in a quiet place — you would say, underground — and this works very well for us.

We are all connected to each other, and one of our great joys is a mutual form of thought that is not initiated by anyone but is usually noticed — meaning that we notice at some point that we are thinking something similar, each of us. And when we notice that, it is not unlike a chorus of song wherein we all start thinking (since we like that experience so much) something that is related to that single thought. This creates such a beautiful harmony. When we had a visitor here, I have been informed from that visitor’s point of view (who had hearing capabilities not unlike your own) that it was like a universal chorus they could hear that reminded them of singing, though without words. I am pleased to hear that our pleasure brings pleasure to others.

We do not move. Granted, of course, at the atomic level as you call it, we have motion, but in terms of our personas, we do not move. If you were to see us, you would probably say — from your perspective, you understand — that we are crystals, with the idea of crystal clusters. I believe from our friends on the Earth that one often finds crystal clusters underground, where they are quiet and calm, and can live in a similar form, if not exactly the same — given the disruptive elements on your planet — to the way we live here.

For us, where we are, a single personality would be a — how can we say? — an individual crystalline element within each crystal. It is believed on your planet, not unrealistically, that a single crystal grows to become a larger crystal. But on our planet, there are many crystals that form a point, as you might call it. I recognize that the source of your curiosity might lie in the number of individual personalities who might make up our community here — which, if you were to see it in its entirety on our planet, would be very small indeed in terms of the space we take up. But yet the individuals who are involved in our community are … oh, I’m not used to numbers. Oh, about seven and a half trillion.

Oh, very, very few. But you know, a crystal element can do many things due to the multiple-faceted factors of our being. Still, to answer your question directly, there are about ten.

For as long as they’ve been there. They have not been there indefinitely, but they’ve been there for some time and will most likely continue their existence there even after the human beings as you know yourselves to be have migrated elsewhere.

Yes! That is one of the very appealing elements that we found attractive — that by our very existence we would support so many other life forms. We found this profoundly appealing, since we like to believe that we do that here as well. We take a great interest in life on other planets and are involved in the ensouling of life forms on some other planets as well. Of course, when Creator’s representative came, we were very attracted to being involved in such a venture on your planet, not only because of what you are attempting to do as your Explorer Race experience, but also simply because of the variety of life forms on Earth, which we are most interested in.

We are now involved in ensouling about twenty, twenty-two — depending on how you count — other life forms on other planets to enjoy the infusion of that planetary system’s pleasure of being with our own. We do this often on other planets when a life form wants to begin there but does not have the knowledge or wisdom in order to function as a single entity. This is not typical, but there are life forms that are vast and have not had an experience of being a single mobile entity.

We have specialized in this for some time, and therefore, we help to sustain them. We do not ensoul them completely, but we add what we have to offer to what the planet offers where they exist and, of course, to what Creator offers. This allows us to be of service and to enjoy their adaptation to such a mobile life form, and it offers us the variety that we so very much cherish. So you can see, given that insight into our personalities, why we would be attracted to participation on Earth.

So do all of the seven and a half trillion unique personalities there gain the experience or enjoy the experience of the ensouling of these other planets and the Earth? Do you all feel what happens there?

Not all the time. It creates a reservoir that can be tapped into by any individual personality, but generally it is not done unless there is some ultimate outcome, which usually means that we release our participation. Say the beings we are supporting on some planet no longer require our support and are prepared to be fully engaged with their own personalities, their planet’s personalities and Creator’s personality and influence as well, and they bid us a happy au revoir. When that takes place, we are then released from our experience there. It is during those moments that we usually pause as a group of beings and experience the full capability of the resonance this leaves us in.

In my recollections, I recall that experience only three times. It was magnificent, and we all focused on it … oh, for eons. And then we continued with our experience — of course, all the time continuing to support others as well. But that was an underlying wondrous experience while we were involved in that support.

Now, perhaps you want to know more about our earthworm people on Earth. I am available to provide as much of that as you care to ask.

They don’t fragment; it is more a matter of focus. I want to give you an example you can appreciate. On your planet, when a light is shone through a crystal that is clear, one can see the fragments of color in a pattern, and yet within those color fragments, there is a multiplicity of substance that makes up personality. Do you know that personality is made up almost exclusively of color?

This explains why different beings on your planet and elsewhere will appear with different hues in their appearance, because one or more colors are joyfully experiencing that expression. I am aware of beings on other planets who are of multiple colors at the same time or who move from one color to another during different periods of their lives. Perhaps you can identify with this to a degree, as you have a substance that sprouts out of your bodies that changes color over time. This allows a considerable amount of variety, does it not? And yet …

Let me get back to your question. The ten beings who are involved in their work supporting the ensoulment of personality on Earth for earthworms are capable … if you were to shine a light through one of them, they wouldn’t like it [chuckles], but just as an example, since I’ve used that example, instead of seeing the few colors in the visible spectrum, you would be able to measure with instruments thousands … I will give you a formula. You would be able to measure 386.4 to the 19th power tones in the spectrum of color.

An instrument would be required to do this, because each color would weigh differently. I do not mean “weigh” in some abstract form, but color actually has a weight. I believe some of your scientists have postulated that this is a fact. I can assure you, each color has its own weight. Red, for example, weighs a little more than yellow, but your people will discover that, and I don’t wish to take away the happiness of that discovery from those who not only postulate it but discover it. It is that very means by which the ultimate appearance of something takes precedent by the amount of weight of different color within the ultimate expression, combined with the soul and other factors of life, the biology — that accounts for the color of a given being.

For example, on Earth there is a considerable infusion of the color red, which is a vital form of color that Earth herself uses to a great extent, because red is at least one-third of the makeup of all creators, and this color allows a tremendous capability and reservoir of creation support systems. Also there are other primary colors, but I don’t want to give away too much [chuckles], since the scientists who will explore this on your planet will be distracted from their pathways. But I will simply say that red is one of the great portions that make up our beings on Earth and it allows them to literally consume mineral matter and transform it into a greater degree of biological matter, which is truly, when you consider it, an amazing feat.

You can see why our life forms on Earth would enjoy the consumption of mineral matter, because we are a mineral species here on our home planet. So the intimacy of the minerals passing through their bodies reminds them of home and sustains their life and allows them to feel connected to us. Is that not beautiful?

So the ten beings who support life on Earth, because of their multifaceted experience — “multifaceted” used here not literally, but as a comparative term — this allows them to … oh, I would have to say that a single being could probably do it all. But those ten enjoy doing it together.

Oh yes, it is a great pleasure. Mother Earth’s soul has so much to offer. Think about it: Here we are, a mineral species living in a mineral planet, not unlike your own, and the feeling of connection to Mother Earth herself offers enough mineral … well, there’s enough of the mineral for us to feel comfortable. At the same time, there is other matter that we don’t necessarily find ourselves attracted to but which we are exposed to as a new experience.

For instance, when I had to support the physical body here [the channel’s], getting up and drinking water … that’s going to allow us, where we are, to understand water. Because before this, Mother Earth was trying to describe to us what water is, and since our only comparison to that is a form of hydrolyzed vapor that is close to the formula for zinc on your planet, we could not really understand it as a physical reality. But now that I have experienced, even to the degree that I am able to assimilate it, the drinking of your fluid water on your planet, which the channel has done to sustain his process of channeling, I now realize that the liquid Mother Earth has been referring to all this time is vastly thinner in viscosity than we realized. The gaseous matter that we know where we exist is almost nothing like it.

So, you see, such experiences allow us to understand life on other planets without having to go there ourselves. You understand that it is in the nature of crystalline matter that travel is not something that we would particularly enjoy. [Chuckles.]

They will not, but they will be able to, should they be interested in this. Think about it: If you have a thought in your mind, it lasts for a while and then it departs in its storage into some deeper aspect of your consciousness. But the thought itself, while it might resonate with other thoughts in your mind, is not actually stored there; it goes into a form of soul energy that moves all throughout the universe. Of course, in that motion, it is somewhat diluted, considering the volume that makes up the universe itself.

Therefore, I’d have to say that the dilution and the volume and all of the other facets of our personality allow it to be there where we exist, but given all of what our fellow beings can do here, it is simply another thing that is available for them to understand, should it come up for any individual. For me, I know it has come up in the past because Mother Earth could explain in great chemical detail and other means to us what water was, but if you have no physical frame of reference for it, you are really not as able to grasp the experience as one might through contact.

No. And that is necessary because their interactions with even a single being on Earth are so complex, so varied, that they are not able to take the time — if you would not mind my using a colloquial term — to have this communication. But I am able through my association with them to represent them.

I feel it is best to speak only of matters that directly relate to Earth. If you wish to ask about something specific on the Earth, I can answer that, because given the function and linking of all earthworms on Earth with all other earthworms on Earth, we are involved in quite a bit. I know you want to know what else we do, but I’m feeling somewhat of a desire to stay to the subject. I will not deny you this knowledge as we get to the end of our communication, though our communication will probably continue over to another day. We’ll save that for later.

I do not have all your colloquialisms — they come slowly. [Chuckles.] That is a new one for me.

We are aware of some surface life. The planet is essentially dry, so the surface life appears to be outposts of life from other planets. But the surface life, other than the mineral and subatomic energy associated with that, is about it. There are no plants as you would understand them, no life forms that you would recognize. Of course, there is a great deal of spirit. There is a great deal of spirit, but the life forms are mostly visitors from other planets.

There is one we are particularly fond of who comes to visit us — a child. This life form does not require to breathe very often. They are gaseous breathers such as yourselves, but a single breath would last them … I will have to use this comparatively in your time. A single breath would last them about two and three-quarters days. So using your time and measurement a little bit here, for your simple understanding, given that the trip back and forth to where we are and to where the being lives would take about a day and a half, it is quite a journey for such a young person.

But we enjoy this person. You would say this person is a young girl, but she has no hair, so you might not be quick to recognize that she is female. Still, she likes to come to where we are, and because she can see in the circumstances that you would say would be pitch-black … oh, an example for you to understand might be a cave, where there would be no light at all, and if you did not bring light, you would not be able to really see very well — though I think perhaps you are developing some instruments to support that, which will undoubtedly be of vast assistance to your astronauts. We enjoy her coming, because she is very careful to not bump into any of us, and she also does not bring any light, even though where she lives they do have soft light that they use.

We love her coming here, because she always sings to us. The first time she did it, we were so very startled — no one had ever done that for us before, at least where we live. Of course, we have heard singing on other planets in our work there, but no one had ever actually sung to us in person. What a revelation! I certainly see why that is popular. She comes — I’m going to use your terminology — about once every three months, and apparently her overbears … a moment. Her parents … you would say “family,” yes?

They indulge her in this way. She says when she is coming … converting her language to something you’d understand, she says, “I’m going to sing to my friends.” And they seem very indulgent of her. I do not know of any others from her colony who do this, and of course, we like to support her as well.

Well, this is the only person. But you’re saying, “Why did she come?”

Well, in the distant past. We had one other visitor, yes, who had the capacity to hear and so on. I referred to that too. Well, why do you go places? I believe the visitors come because they go other places. And we are not trying to hide. It is for those who are mobile beings … they would perhaps notice the opening to our living place and come in. We have had one being who required light and was deflected by someone — we know not who — who said that it is not acceptable to take light in there. By light, I’m not talking about natural light; it was an instrument of some sort.

We think it might have been the child who said, “Don’t take light in there,” because she knows us well. But we’re not certain, and she does not discuss such matters. She comes to sing to us. The entire time she is here, she sings, and we feel her song. And then for a few moments — you would say seconds — before she leaves, she pauses, and during that pause she feels our resonance to her song. She seems to enjoy that very much. Then as she is exiting, she sings what you might call her exiting song. And then she leaves.

We actually came with the planet herself. The planet was something … I don’t know if you know this, but the Creator who created this universe had invited many seed planets to come. If you would see a seed planet, you would see something that is smaller than a grain of sand in volume. The planet we are on was interested in participating in this great adventure, and we were within that. We felt that this would be something we would also like to participate in, and that’s how we arrived — in the seed planet.

The Creator of this universe invited many seed planets to come and created many others on Its own. Perhaps the invitation of seed planets, though, was to support, sustain and advise Creator by interacting with the seed planets in order to consider how Creator might create planets of Its own. I do not know. I do not pretend to know how Creator thinks or rationalizes or reasons, but that is my best guess. So we arrived within the planet, which grew, you might say.

A seed planet, as I say, is smaller, relatively speaking, than a grain of sand when transported to this universe, and — I will explain how this occurs in a moment — it becomes about the size of your planet. Now, you could say, “You mean, Creator turned it into that size?” Well, I have to explain it. When Creator began this creation, it was very small; it covered a very small amount of space. But then as Creator added more and more things, and more and more planets, Creator expanded the space. As it expanded, everything inside it grew.

So that’s how our planet is now about the same size as your planet. Of course, your planet would have gone through something similar, or Creator would have created it Itself. But in our case, our planet grew to be about the same size as your planet, simply because of the expansion of the universe. And everything in it got bigger as a result.

Yes. And actually, we maintain a constant connection to that. I feel, though I do not know for a fact, that the other seed planets may do so as well. I do not know that this is true, though; it just seems reasonable and logical. I must admit, though — logic being part of the crystalline nature — that this might simply be an extrapolation on my part that does not really apply.

Well, we do not feel as if we are not at home; after all, we were at home inside this planet where we were. We were just smaller, relatively speaking. But since everything is relative in exact size — we are just bigger, but relatively speaking, we are exactly the same — we do not consider that we are anywhere but home. And that kind of travel is not a problem for us, as long as we can maintain our connections to each other within our home, within the seed planet — although, really, this is just simply another way to describe a place of home. We are perfectly happy no matter where it is located.

On your planet, I believe people dig up crystals and move them about, and I cannot say for certain but perhaps because of the nature of your planet being so mobile and welcoming mobile forms of life, perhaps your planet accepts that. From what I have heard, though, from our representatives there, your planet tolerates it rather than accepts it. It is perhaps considered an indulgence that a parent might have with a child. But after a while, the parent says, “Well, you must now learn how to get along with the other children and the other parents as well.”

I believe that you are now engaged in that as a species, learning how to get along with other life forms in harmony. It will be a long process, but after all, where else can you come to learn such a thing while being Creator’s apprentice? It is a lot, and you could not accomplish what you need to do in a single life, but that is why you have so many of you there, because not unlike us, what one does in a single life, others do not have to do in their lives, though there is some similar experience. The individual personality is made up of the different weights of color, which allow individuality to ultimately join and become whole once again. But you know this.

I have just a couple more questions about the ensouling of other beings on other planets. Do you hear a call? Does someone come and ask you to do that? How does the process start?

We are always visited by some entity, usually a spirit, that is preparing to welcome that life form there. We are visited sometimes physically here in a form that we can comfortably accommodate; other times we are simply contacted — distance not being a problem in contact — and it is put to us, you might say: “Would you be interested in cooperating?” Very often, you understand, the reason we are contacted is that we are not, in our nature, mobile, and therefore, for life forms that are considering being mobile, they would appreciate having some sustenance, some form of support to their immortal personalities and souls from a life form that they personally identify with — meaning something that is not mobile. So that is why we are contacted.

When you consider the vast amount of life in this universe, it is not a frequent thing that we do. Twenty-two other planets and your own, making it twenty-three … that’s not very frequent. It happens enough so that we can enjoy the pleasure of the experience, but not so much that we feel burdened.

Oh, well, in the universe there are no secrets. You appear to your own conscious personalities to have no knowledge of universe functions and existence, but this is only a temporary veil that allows you to pursue individual choices, lessons and learnings, and does not exist past your life. Once you exist in your natural state beyond the Earth that you now know, you have all this knowledge as well. There are no secrets.

There was less call to do that. This universe is unique in its form of variety — so, no, we were not called upon to do that. But we were called upon to do that here, and we have found it to be a pleasant distraction. No, wait — I want to change that word. We have found it to be a pleasant form of life. I realize that “distraction” is not considered a benevolent word.

Oh, there is no question that we are most interested by the earthworm.

Oh, I would have to say that one on a very distant star system you will probably never come into contact with was something we found interesting. It is a chemical life form that has never had any mobile aspects to it. It is more of a form of stone, so we could easily identify with it, and yet it is choosing to create a form of liquid mineral. I suppose the closest you could come to in understanding what it might someday be is to consider your element mercury.

We are still involved, though they are just about there.

No. No, I would say that the most mobile being we are engaged with now is the earthworm.

But, you see, the keyword in your question is “feel.” We do not feel; we think. I said that at the beginning — perhaps I was not clear.

We, of course, feel our connection to each other, but you have to remember that when you think of “feel,” you think that you reach to something and you feel it, or that you have feelings within you. But our feelings within ourselves are constant, and when one has constant feelings, it’s a pleasure, but there is not the same sense of motion that you understand feelings to be involved with.

So our feelings are a constant, but we do not consider this to be something of motion, though in the larger sense we know that there is motion involved. But we do not sway, for example; we are crystalline. So our function that most closely resembles your own is thought. We have other functions, but that’s the best way you can identify with us.

But in terms of touch as you know it and understand it, that is not a factor for us. For example, when the girl comes to visit us, she is very respectful and she knows not to touch us. I believe that’s one of the reasons she sings to us, though I do not know. Perhaps that is part of her culture. Maybe they sing everywhere; I do not know. But when she sings to us, you see, her voice resonates with us, so it is a form of touch. That’s why perhaps she pauses before she leaves, so she can feel that resonance.

Well, if you have ever seen earthworms, if they happen to be on the surface where there is rain, they get below the surface as quickly as possible. They don’t sit on the surface in the rain.

Yes. Do you know that if you’re looking for immortality, you don’t have to look any further than most mineral species on your now planet?

They’ve always been in a crystalline form, whether they were part of some vast being or whether they have moved through the action of motion that is a factor of life on your planet.

Oh, we have had our numbers who come to the surface and do not exactly see in the same way you understand sight but use something comparative to ultrasonic to be able to understand how you appear. Therefore, we are able to “see” human beings. We do not have an intimate knowledge of your form, but we are able to see you.

And then, of course, there is also … if we wanted to do this, we could, but we have not. We have not needed to, you see. But we could conceivably connect with other forms of crystal that pass through your body. For example, it is my understanding that you consume materials that are temporarily in a form that passes through your body that are of a crystalline nature. Therefore, on their voyage through your body, we could understand you in some ways. But we do not … there is no need. We are not ensouling you.

Only if our representatives there see them, feel them, are aware of them. We are familiar with the birds [chuckles].

Yes! But we do understand that this is a factor of life on your planet. And while our beings do not enjoy being eaten, they do understand, as all life does — including the birds, when they are eaten — that this is a factor of life there. It’s not an enjoyable one, but it’s a factor, and their personalities and souls, being immortal, continue on.

I do not believe the human being was there yet, as you know yourself. But there were some beings who resembled the human being. I cannot be certain, but I do not think they are on the planet anymore in any great number. They may be somewhere on the planet, under the planet or perhaps in another focus of the planet, but they do not appear to be present at the moment.

Yes, we will be there for some time yet. The planet will need quite a bit of restoration after the human beings migrate, and our beings will probably stay if we are welcomed by the planet. But if she wishes to restore herself during her transformation from a planet that welcomes the human being to something else, then we will move on. It is up to her. We are there, as near as I can tell, to support life forms that exist there now. I believe many of the life forms are returning to their home planets, meaning not replenishing their species there.

We’ll be there, I feel, for quite a time. There will be other beings who will accompany us, most of whom as a rule live underground — ants and others.

Yes, terribly. Of course, it does not really exist other than what is unintentionally created by human beings in their attempt to perpetuate their lessons in creation. But you’ll get over that. You’re learning about harmony simply because when the pollution affects you, you realize personally that this is not a good thing. Of course, you are intellectually aware of that and have been for some time, but you are gradually developing other means of sustenance. And as you develop those means, you will not require polluting so much.

Right now there is, I believe, a considerable factor of thought … you see, we can understand you through thought but not necessarily through physical awareness. There is a considerable amount of thought, that if it would be possible for human beings in your physical form to sustain yourselves and eat considerably less … if you were to eat the same way you eat now, that would be a great hardship. But if you were able to eat food that was profoundly vital, grown in very specific ways that are being done here and there on your planet now by very spiritual individuals, then it might be possible to eat a very small amount of food indeed and not only be sustained but be even considerably more revitalized than you are by your now eating habits.

No, food that is raised with love. And that exists. This means that one plants the seed, nurtures it, sings to it, provides all it needs as it grows as a plant — in short, treats it as you might treat a beloved child. And then when one goes to pick the crop, every portion of that crop provides profound nurturing energy. So a very small amount provides such life force that one does not have to eat very much.

It’s coming, slowly but surely.

Oh, I don’t agree.

I understand that you would consider that to be so, because of the veil — meaning that you do not know. Think about it [chuckles]: When you are in your natural state, you know all that you need to know, and you are capable of knowing anything, because you are exposed to or bathed in the universe and all of its knowledge and wisdom. But when that is removed from you, even temporarily in your waking state, there is an urgent need and desire to know. It is an urgency that does not exist when you are in your natural state, because then you have it; it is completely there. But since you are veiled and kept from that, then there is a passion to know.

So you get sometimes confused, perhaps, because you think that the passion to know is a desire for knowledge. But, in fact, the true passion is involved in the desire to be connected to one of the forms of existence that you are at least partially denied when you are living in the veil of Earth as you now know it, so that you can pursue more personal goals and lessons. If you knew everything that you know in your natural state on Earth, you would not pursue these things. But the desire to know is less of … it is less motivated by knowledge than it is simply to be complete. When you are complete, you know; when you are veiled from that completion, you will want to be complete. And that’s what drives you.

That’s a beautiful way to say it. You are very wise. So you bathe in that all-knowledge all the time? It’s all available to you, so you can think about whatever you want and it’s there, right?

Yes. We are not screened from knowledge; there is no veil. When you are in your natural state, it is exactly the same for you. So do not be concerned. When you return to your natural state, it will all be there for you as it was before you came on this adventure in personal discovery.

I am another one of the beings who spoke … a different personality. I am one of the beings who has ensouled the beings on Earth who are referred to as earthworms.

That’s what I wanted — thank you. You are amazing! You ensoul amazing creatures, absolutely amazing. Five hearts? Hermaphrodite? Creator of our soil? It’s amazing!

We feel that it is a worthy contribution to a worthy cause.

I really do not know, since we do not have an exclusive on this form of life. But it was felt perhaps by Creator’s emissaries that the way we go about what we do was most appropriate for your planet and for your venture there, as Creator’s apprentice teachers.

We feel a strong sense of solidarity with living creatures, as you understand that: plants, animals, humans. We feel that we want to be intimately involved with such beings, to support and sustain them, and to allow them to feel well-received and to feel as if sustenance was something they could not take for granted but could count on. Given that desire and the strong sense of feelings involved, the emissaries felt that we would be good participants in the project that they are supporting for you.

Well, not quite everywhere, but I understand your meaning; we are widespread in our involvement.

No, it’s not like that. Each of us is involved with different personality types.

No, no; that’s a human classification. I’m talking about personality types.

Oh, about twelve. And there are some that are made up of combinations of personality types. Still, we are able to accommodate that with the ten of us.

I see no reason to do that; it would be like giving names of the personality types of humans. Names are just a way to provide a classification, which tends to become a rigid sense of identification. You yourself as human beings have lived life and discovered that the idea of rigid classifications do not allow for growth or unique personality, so I don’t think I want to support that.

I see no reason why, and the reason is simply that the types of personality are no different than human personalities. Personalities in general function very similarly across the board in Earth life and, to a degree, in life around the universe. For example, there are some who are quiet and more withdrawn, and others who are more ebullient and involved in social interactions and so on.

Yes. You find that this is the same with humans, don’t you?

I am particularly involved with the more shy and retiring type, and am not as involved with other types, though I’m aware of them. There are no types that I would call singular — meaning that each type of personality has qualities of all the others (just like with human beings), as well as adaptability to the others. But the overall persona tends to fall under the heading of being — how can we say? — less social, less sociable.

Yes, it does. When you think about it, that we are mineral-based here, this already gives us an intimate familiarity with the mineral world. And since Earth soil is made up of minerals and also organic matter, being on Earth is mainly an adaptation of our known ways of being to Earth’s accommodating culture of welcome.

I believe it was simply for practical reasons. It allows, for instance, the shy, retiring type of personality to perpetuate itself, and it does not require large families (as you might understand families to be) or extended families. Therefore, it allows us as individuals to travel about and to be where we are needed, and to also adapt to certain human needs, though we do not appreciate being used to catch fish. This is something that someone decided some time ago was a good idea, but we do not appreciate it. We do admire, since we’ve been exposed to this kind of thing, the artists who make up these fantastic imitation forms of life that are used to hunt fish.

When we first started forming and being available, we were able to come to the surface more because there wasn’t as much human life. But there were also more birds, so [chuckles] we didn’t come to the surface that often.

As you know, we are below-surface beings, so we didn’t see many forms of life. But occasionally some of our members would go to the surface for one reason or another, and then it would be possible to discern — not exactly see in the way you see, but to discern — other forms of life. That is how we found out that going to the surface was not that safe. So that’s what I would have to say about that. There weren’t human beings as you know yourselves to be now, though.

It’s possible that the weight of the ice did scrape off the soil where we might have normally been, but that was a long time ago. And it is certainly possible, as I said before, that human beings did emigrate us to that part of the world. It’s possible. We are not that conscious of the past, and it is a strain to look back there. We are most focused on the present. I grant that this is possible, but it seems a bit fantastic. But, of course, it is possible, simply given the weight of ice and its inexorable push.

It was a growth pattern, and its evidence can be clearly discerned by those in the know.

Yes, I am quite activated. I believe that is why that particular elder came through first, because it could be a bit more.

I know you’re doing this as a service, but is there anything that you go home and tell stories about? Or when you get through with this, that you’d say, “Well, this was exciting!” Is there anything that really pleases you here in your life as ensouling earthworms?

Yes. I don’t exactly identify with that, but you understand, from your perception you would believe that our ensouling involves a constant state of awareness there, but it isn’t like that. We are here, but we are involved in focusing on the connection and keeping it clear. I would say, though, that the best way to give you that would be to focus for a moment on one life of one being, and then you can ask that. I’ll see if I can do that — just a moment. [Pause.] All right, I’m connected there; now you can ask Earth-oriented questions. Say it again?

I would have to say that my greatest comfort is when the soil is moist. The drier soil is a bit difficult, but moistness in soil is of comfort. The soil is looser and it is easier to move in. Motion is difficult insofar as being quick, but in loose soil it is easier. [Chuckles.]

Is there anything that is particularly … that if you could change it, you would? If you could put a petition out and say, “I want this changed,” what would you change?

That we are not used for fishing.

There is some small interaction between us and others who occasionally come underground, but in the nature of competition for food on the Earth, we find that we are relatively defenseless. So we are often the targets of those who must eat. After all, our form of consumption does not threaten other forms of life, as you understand life to be. So the challenge for us is: Most of the time, it is not safe for us to be exposed to other forms of life, with very few exceptions. Sometimes there are forms of life underground that are hibernating or in deep sleep, and when they are doing that, we can be nearby, pause for a moment and dream with them.

When we dream with them, they are then, in those moments of their dreams, able to interact with other beings. We may then form an image that would allow them to feel at ease with us, meaning we wouldn’t necessarily appear as we appear on the Earth — though if they are comfortable with that appearance, we do not alter our appearance. Joining others in their dreams, especially those who sleep deeply and for a length of time for whatever reason … if it is a natural part of their cycle or, in the case of some circumstances, a lack of something that is needed by them (perhaps moisture, for a simple example), then we might be quiet ourselves, and sleep and dream with them.

Dreams, in my experience, are the means by which the more difficult times of life can be enjoyed, because one experiences a form of one’s true, natural life in dreams. One does not always remember these things but is left with the feeling of it and the promise that another sleep state will arrive soon, bringing that comfort and those comforting connections.

We do not have what you have — the nightmare. We do not have those, though we are compassionate toward you when you do. This is perhaps because we are not here to learn anything, and very often for you, as I understand, you are here to learn so very much that sometimes your capacity to learn is overwhelmed and must take place beyond your conscious state into the unconscious.

I do not know night or day; for us it is always night.

Yes. And I might add, you are like that too. Because of your societies, the way they are formed, you have set your body clock to an unnatural rhythm. In places where it is set to a natural rhythm, I have heard that you sleep when you are tired and you then wake up and are invigorated and pursue your activities. This is a natural rhythm for all life. The human being at this time apparently is attempting to live in an unnatural way. This cannot go on indefinitely. This kind of unnatural lifestyle will ultimately prompt agitation to a greater and greater degree, and that is when mistakes can be made, in my experience.

And human predators.

Yes, absolutely. That would come under the heading of what I would consider to be mistakes.

But aren’t you seeing more organic farming now and more sort of going back to the Earth? Or is it such a small percentage of humans that you don’t notice it very much yet?

It’s a small percentage, yes. It is a hopeful sign, though, is it not?

I think for those who wish to have food that truly feeds and supports, it will come to be the way. But given how many human beings there are on the Earth, it will probably ultimately have to be discarded for some type of chemical gardening. The food capabilities of Earth are not at this time fully able to take care of all beings, partly because of the system of distributing food and partly because there is not enough Earth left for human beings to live on. Perhaps there will be more exploration of underground housing, but then, where do the underground beings like myself go?

You see? It is complicated. Earth has a very fixed kind of balance. I feel ultimately that the best thing for human beings to do is to allow the population to reduce naturally, without destructive actions. But this is your choice. That would have to be a conscious choice, with perhaps couples having one child or many couples might choose to have no children. It is up to you.

Well, I hope that that’s the way it is. Mother Earth is contributing, though. I mean, there is an increase in homosexuals and the sperm count is down, and the population seems to be coming down a little bit.

Yes. It will have to come down more to avoid problems. And it can be done. I think if there is a concerted effort, as there is in some places I have heard, it can be done. But, of course, it would be nice for it to occur in a benevolent way. But it’s possible. It is not for me to say how humans are to run your world.

Well, good advice is acceptable from anyone. I don’t know what to say. I am so impressed with what you do. I knew that you aerated and created humus and soil, but I didn’t realize the extent of it until I studied it a little bit today.
