Human self-perception seen from a larger perspective

JANU: For this morning’s journey, let us partake of an exploration into the nature of life on another world. One purpose being to raise human consciousness on the Earth to life beyond it, putting its own life in a larger perspective. As you have requested, we choose the planet Mars for this morning’s journey.

Mars has a rich history, mostly unknown by humanity and science. Many cultures have come and gone, yet much remains to be seen and understood. The flow of water on Mars in earlier times was the object of much activity and culture. Water movements were explored for their usefulness. Irrigation of crops seems strange when viewing a world devoid of vegetation, but at that time it was not.

The vegetation that existed on Mars would look strange indeed, in some cases, compared to the Earth, for the source of these types of vegetation was not unlike the source for that of the Earth. The variations evolve on the scene. Mars’s vegetation was very colorful, yellows, reds, and greens, and of course others but these were dominant. The size and height of these vegetations was somewhat greater than on Earth due to the lower gravity.

Science and technology flowered as well. It eventually was turned towards understanding and controlling the slow demise of Mars as a viable world. And eventually the cultures left, but did not forget Mars and all that it had meant to them.

Three civilizations in particular were part of Mars’s history. One was beings of what you would call ‘gargantuan’ proportion, finding it suitable for its low gravity, allowing their great bulk to be comfortable. The second and the third existed on Mars at the same time, cultures from other worlds similar enough in physicality to work in harmony. These beings addressed themselves as the “Voyet” [Pronounced /voy-yette/], similar. Now, in their understanding of their language, this name meant “the united ones.” And in time it became difficult to tell one from the other. They had the greatest interest in preserving the viability of Mars. A few stayed behind when the others left, determined to survive; yet they perished. Some evidence of their existence remains at this time, but in underground structures built for survival. Others have visited Mars since their demise and discovered their remains, but left them entombed.

Humanity will eventually colonize Mars, but only to a small degree, discovering that the Martian resources that are practical to extract and support life are insufficient. But they will learn much in this endeavor and take what they have learned elsewhere. Mars will become what it’s best suited for in the future, and that is a jumping off place, so to speak, to other adventures. As more and more of the larger life is discovered by humanity, the opportunities will make that clear. Much in store yet for this so-called ‘red’ planet, but only as a part of humanity’s movement into a larger life.
