To this day, I remain convinced that the main motivation for instigating the ownership claims was not to obtain possession of the skull, but rather to suppress the publication of material accompanying it. If my assumption is correct, well... they need not have bothered. Embarrassing, sensitive and controversial as this material is to the organization, it has no place with the Skully Material and I never had any intention of publishing any of it.

When, finally, the matter was resolved, I retained possession of the skull, but am legally constrained from publishing any part of the material which relates to the ritual and dogma of the organization in question (which I am also prohibited from naming) that derives from literature in my possession. Also, I am forbidden from publishing details of Skully's participation in interpretations of the aforementioned ritual and dogma.

A full list of everything I am not allowed to mention would run to several pages and merely publishing this would be a violation of the terms of the agreement. On this matter my hands are effectively tied and are likely to remain so for quite some time. In place of the intended content of this section I will make ten statements: It being left entirely to you, the individual, to consider the validity and truth of these.
1.... The visible world of the Supernatural: As seen on T.V.; as read about in your local bookstore; as discussed down at the local pub's weekly 'Moot,' are all shams. Albeit -on occasion- well intentioned shams. The Supernatural is propagated primarily to cultivate an opulent lifestyle for its custodians. Any benefit to the (paying) customer (You!) is entirely incidental. Even these flukes, the customer will attribute to the 'powers' of the group to which he/she is affiliated. Then, using their own experiences as recommendations will entice potential customers into the group's fold (further swelling its coffers.)

The above will -no doubt- have the huge menagerie of wonder workers, spell mongers and spirituality specialists frothing at the mouth, and not with ectoplasm. Indeed, how dare I declare their services and products to be utterly useless?

In answer to this question I ask that you examine on simple fact:

If a manufacturer brings out a revolutionary new product, the word will spread like wildfire. Within a matter of months everyone will have one. Similarly, in the Supernatural superstore, if anyone did sell or distribute a product which actually did live up to its advertising; which really did have real value and worth... well, both you and I would be using that product right now and our lives would be wonderful as a consequence. But we aren't, and -usually- our lives aren't, because the product simply does not exist.

2.... The invisible world of the Supernatural: As never seen or heard about. The closed fraternity of Ascended Masters and high adepts does not exist. Or, it exists in too shambolic and impotent state to be in any way effective or even practicable. This statement should be self-evident. If these 'alleged' groups were in possession of the 'alleged' powers they claim, one would naturally notice an increase in positive energy, or a decline in negative energy. Quite the converse: As I write this the world sits on the edge of its seat as the power games between Saddam Hussain and George Bush nudge the entire planet towards very dangerous waters. Hardly a day passes that we do not become casually acquainted with atrocities even more extreme that those we heard of yesterday.

3.... The concepts, dogma and ideas which underpin the organizations described in Points 1, and 2, are false and -at best- based on misunderstandings and erroneous deductions. The key holders of Points 1, and 2, are fully aware of the shortcomings in their ritual and teachings. They continue to propagate their elaborate stage shows because to come clean and tell the simple truth would:

A.. Invalidate their reason for existing.
B.. Reveal the falsehood and hypocrisy of their sacred words.

Their knowledge offers just enough simple tricks to dazzle the faithful into parting with their cash.

4.... Mythology from all corners of this planet tell pretty much the same story. In this story:
A) The world is created by a sky god or sky gods.
B) The sky god does not like what he sees and periodically destroys his creation.
C) Shortly before it is destroyed a select 'chosen' few are informed of the reasons for the imminent destruction and given details how to survive it.
D) A date is given when the sky god will return in a further day of Judgment.

Whilst I am confident that you are aware of this story, you may not be aware of its absolute truth. (Note: The Christian god was the only one to require a rest-day!)

5.... Everything that exists as a consequence of the Big Bang was indeed created by a god. Although this god is certainly not what we guess him to be, our collective errors are very easy to understand and to sympathize with.

To study our own origins, Science either digs things up or creates an artificial environment in which to observe the development of whatever it is they seek to understand.

The technological progress made my this species in the last 100 years is simply staggering. Project this development 100 years into the future, 1,000 years into the future, or even 10,000 years into the future. What miracles will be commonplace in these distant times? Imagine a situation, thousands of years from now, when there's nothing else to dig up. Despite of all the marvels available to Science and Theology the question of how life began is still a hotly debated mystery. Why not recreate the whole thing in a test-tube? Even today, Science has at its disposal the knowledge and apparatus required to create a Big Bang. They even claim to be reasonable sure how this experiment would develop and grow. But, as yet, no one has pressed the 'Start' button. Well, at least not on this planet! Somewhere out there, a civilization thousands, and perhaps millions of years more advanced than our own wanted to study their own origins. Planet Earth and everything living on it is a part of that experiment. We are little better than laboratory rats trying to memorize our way through a maze.

The experiment has a definite time limit, this being a little over 11,000 years. After this time the test-tube cleans itself and any that survive are left to try again. The objective of the experiment is quite simple: To get a state of development such that the wishes of the entire planet can be voiced by a single voice. (Just as George Bush can speak on behalf of the entire U.S.A..) Aliens will not contact us officially until such time as they are sure that when they land and say "Take me to your leader," all hands will point at the same person. That is the test! That is the single lesson we have to 11,000 years to learn and understand.

As the sun rises on the Winter Solstice of 2013, the final bell of the current class will sound "Time's up! Put down your pencils; go home and anxiously await your result and grade." Only... we don't have to wait for the postman, do we? No! I do not believe there to be an individual on this planet who does not know at heart that we have failed our test and in quite spectacular a fashion. Even thought there are still a few hours of our test left we know that there is simply no way to make up the lost ground and soon all will be lost.

On December 21, 2013, our planet will begin a series of cataclysmic changes that ultimately will result in the destruction of over 90% of the population. The mixed assortment of planetary symptoms collectively ignored as Global Warming are not as beholden to Mankind as we may believe. Mankind has not helped the environment but the rapidly increasing severity of abnormal weather conditions are the first signs of the carnage to come.

6.... There is a sting in the tale. The civillisation responsible for the Creation Experiment, believed it to be unique, a one-off. This fact alone imparted it with a curiosity or novelty value. But, they couldn't be sure. Since they had initiated the experiment in order to study their own distant origins they simply couldn't be sure that they themselves were not someone else's experiment! Furthermore, the same could be said for all other members of the Galactic Federation. This posed a very real dilema. In the very unlikely event that Mankind did achieve a Pass Grade, should we be deemed rats who became aware of their own maze, or as equals? Since the sole criteria for admission to the Galactic Club was the ability for one person to speak on behalf of an entire planet, if humans did achieve this then by rights they should be admitted entry.

As can be imagined, this caused uproar in certain circles. How could an experimental creation be allowed access and afforded the privileges of their exclusive fold! The thought was intolerable and the more conservative members vowed to do all they could to ensure this never happened. Other, more liberal members petitioned to allow a sort of helpline to speed our education.

A fundamental condition of the experiment was that absolutely no contact was allowed with it. The species must never be given any clue as to what was going on outside its test-tube. However, as anyone with a bank account is acutely aware; no system is completely insulated. Anyone with a little skill and a vested interest can hack into just about any system.

The voices of Ascended masters Channelled by Sensitives; the aliens spoken to by contactees and abductees; the spirits which float around the seance table; the devils and angels spoken of in folklore and myth are all hackers!!! They fall into one of two categories. Either they wish to see us fail to reach the Pass Grade and do everything in their power to discredit us. Or, those who wish us to pass and become a member of the Federation. Herein is an answer to the question of good and evil.

Built-in to the DNA of each and every human is a genetic memory. Amongst other things, this is a record of every person you have ever been related to (the root of reincarnation.) In a very real way, you are the reincarnation of your father, and his father and his father before him; right back to the origins of your species. This acts both as a reminder or clue, and a portal. The opening of this portal is a signal that the individual has reached a development of sufficient advancement to understand the nature of the experiment. Even if its conditions are displayed to that individual in a symbolic form.

Any practice or ritual which has as its intent the attainment of an altered state of consciousness is an attempt to open this portal. As previously stated: Trauma opens the portal.

7.... If you had lived your life 100 years ago, it would have been pretty much mapped-out from birth to death. You knew who you were, where you stood in society and what was expected of you. Today we can take none of these things for granted. Our lives are played out on a shifting sandbank of technological progress. The pace of modern life is getting faster and faster and faster. The stresses and strains this change places on us are incalculable. Society is clinging on by its fingertips and with each passing day more an more lose their grip. The Mental Health Services are experiencing a silent epidemic that no one talks about or even acknowledges.

8.... Anyone who has observed the smoke from a candle or cigarette will have noticed that the smoke rises in a tight coil to about a foot, after this it quickly fragments and dissipates. The reason for this sudden breakup is speed. The column of smoke rises, until just like a speeding train it runs of its own rails, loses its order and becomes chaotic.

---

9.... In the final years there will be a significant increase in all Supernatural phenomenon. UFOs, ghosts, religious visions, etc., etc. will become commonplace. The story I have told on these pages will be told in a slightly different way by countless others, just as those touched by the signal in the movie Close Encounters made representations of a particular mountain in clay, pain, mashed potato and even shaving foam. I just happened to be the first. Of course, no one will take any notice, or believe anything I, or anyone else may have to say until the very end. And by that time, their belief or lack of it will be entirely irrelevant.

---

10... The number of the beast. I have left the most radical of my comments to the end. It is well known that the Revelation of St. John the Divine states the number of the beast to be 666. Many different interpretations of this number have been postulated. I will add one further interpretation of this number.

The Bible is written in Hebrew. Each Hebrew letter has both a sound and a number associated with it. The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called 'Vau.' This has a numerical value of '6.' The English equivalent of this is the letter 'W.' I should not need to point out that each and every web-site is prefixed with the letters 'www,' or, the numbers 666.

Furthermore, each Hebrew letter is associated with a 'meaning.' These meanings provide the root of most Western interpretations of the Tarot's Major Arcana. 'H' is the Emperor, 'T' is a tower of strength, 'P' is the lightening struck tower. All web-site URLs begin with 'http.' Consider this in light of the September 11 tragedy in New York.

The English rendition of the Hebrew name of God is IHVH ( Jehova or Ja, etc..) The second 'H' refers to the second Coming of Christ. Since this has not yet occurred the letter can be replaced with a '+' sign, thus rendering the name as IHV+. It does not take a very gifted individual to rearrange these letters into a well known part of modern life.

There are many, many, many other such omens and portents. In the next ten years they will all be published and no one will believe: Not until it is too late to do anything. Some will survive, some always do. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius. I hope you can swim!
