To explain the theory of the missing human link it will be necessary for me to begin at the beginning, before the earth or any of the heavenly bodies existed. This was a time when there were only two things - the space, known as the universe and the Governor of this space, known as God. I cannot tell you the size of the universe or its origin or where the Governor came from or even, if there are other Governors in other universes. However, what I can tell you is that, in the beginning, the Governor is all alone, and possesses inconceivable creative powers, and decides to have company by creating a physical universe inhabited by intelligent beings - a family of souls.
CREATION
Jesus states:
"God created the world and when I say the 'world' I mean both the physical world of which the earth is a part and the spiritual world of which the spirit world is a part. These creations were merely changes in form or composition of the matter that already existed and will forever exist as elements of the invisible universe. Thus, there was never a time or period when there existed a void in the universe".
PLANET EARTH
Jesus continues:
"The earth on which you live did not always have an existence as a planet, and neither did the firmament and the great galaxy of stars. Yet, these things were not created out of nothing, and neither was there chaos for in God's economy of being there is never chaos”.
My contention is that the process of creating the earth was accomplished by reducing the speed of the high vibrational matter that exists in the spiritual universe. This would create a denser material that could be fashioned into gross physical worlds. According to natural law, a process such as this would release tremendous heat, which explains why in the beginning the earth was in a gaseous state prior to its surface cooling. Evidence of this great heat can still be found in the molten core of the earth.
In time a crust was formed and the surface was struck by meteors, fracturing it creating the tectonic plates, and thus the major landmasses. The creation of the earth was a long, slow process that science says began 4.5 billion years ago. When the earth was ready for the habitation of souls to be incarnated into the flesh, everything necessary to support their life was provided.
FIRST MAN AND WOMAN
Josephus, Jewish historian:
"Man was not made of the dust of the ground, but was made of the elements that existed in the universe of a higher order from the mere dust of the ground. The first man and woman were created at the same time, and not one out of the rib of the other. They are, therefore, equal in their dignity and in their relationship with God, and the one is as important in the sight of God as is the other. They did not experience the slow evolutionary growth that other creations were subject to, but from the beginning they were made perfect, except for the qualities of divinity and immortality."
I realize that it may be difficult to accept the next spirit communicators, it was for me. However, will you agree that, if the conditions are correct every spirit regardless of how ancient has the opportunity to communicate using a mortal medium? With that in mind, I present a portion of the account of the lives of the first man and woman of the earth, as received through the method of automatic writing by James E. Padgett in 1915.
Aman, the first man, writes:
"You (Padgett) don't believe me, I can see. Our names were not Adam and Eve, but were Aman and Amon. We were both created instantaneously, becoming living beings in a moment, and did not evolve from any other thing. When Amon and I were created, there were no other human beings living on the earth, and none came there to live until we had sons and daughters who intermarried and produced other sons and daughters.
The story of the apple is a myth. No apple or anything else that was meant to be eaten formed any part of our fall. The fall took place because we were so filled with the thought that we were all-powerful and all-wise and concluded the obedience that God required of us was not necessary for us to observe, and that, if we only exerted our own powers, we would be as great as God is great, and would be able to obtain the divinity and immortality that God possessed".
Amon, the first woman, writes:
"I am the mother of the entire human race. At the time of our creation we were more perfect than man is now, for we had no physical ailments, no sickness, and no deformity of any kind. We certainly were more intelligent and beautiful in face and form than mankind is or has been for many long centuries; and our bodies lasted for longer years than the bodies do of today. Because of our ideas about our greatness and power and want of dependence on God, we fell, and never again were restored to the position of beauty and happiness that was ours in the beginning of our lives on the earth.
God did not drive us from paradise, but we continued to live in the same place, as formerly, though no longer could we be satisfied with the spiritual nourishment that had supplied our wants and enabled us to subdue the appetites that formed a part of our physical bodies. The physical then asserted itself and the spiritual became subjected to it, and we became as mortals are now, having to find our sustenance in Mother Earth. We were compelled to till the soil in order to make the land supply us with food for our physical needs”.
The first man and woman were given many wondrous gifts, but when they chose to disobey God, their Creator, and they lost the closeness they had enjoyed and forfeited the opportunity of achieving spiritual completion. Thus, their descendants became less spiritual in their religious concepts, and the distance between God and man continued to increase with each passing generation. As a result, mankind devolved spiritually, although they were highly accomplished in the arts and sciences and had achieved a great civilization - Atlantis.
ATLANTIS
Sebastobel, ancient Atlantian:
"The inhabitants of that fair land did not have the necessity for machines to move them from place to place. They knew of the existence and the means to utilize certain forces of nature that enabled each individual or group of individuals to transport themselves by the operation of their will power utilizing these forces. The submerging of the continent was so sudden that no one was aware of the moment when the catastrophe took place. It was as if in the “twinkling of an eye”, and people were drowned before they had time to think about or attempt to save themselves”.
I believe Atlantis existed at a time when humanity was still very young and the population of the earth was not that great. All of humanity lived on one landmass or continent - Atlantis. When Atlantis went down all of civilization went with it; though, in most disasters there are survivors. I suggest that the survivors of Atlantis were not on the continent at all, but were explorers in other lands, mapping, surveying, collecting fauna and flora to take back for study. It makes sense to me that there could have been several expeditions to the various continents of the world at the time.
It is my contention that the Atlantian explorers realized that a disaster had occurred back home and that they were all that remained of civilized man. These various expeditions were comprised of scientists, botanist, geologists, physicians ect., who were very advanced in their fields. I suspect that there were no woman on these expectations; therefore, there could not have been a second generation of explorers. So, in an effort to save humanity from complete extinction, I believe that the physicians artificially inseminated female primates with human semen that in time became the ape-man.
APE MAN
The fragile humans could not survive for long in the wilderness, and when they died humanity became extinct. All that remained that was human on the earth was carried in the genetic code of the inseminated primates of the various continents. Over the millennia, the process of evolution brought the ape-man back to human form. The process of evolution illustrates his progress, which was designed and directed by God. Thus, God did not give up on man, though he still retains much of the primate behaviour of dominance, territorialism, violence, greed and selfishness. Although human, he has a long way to go before being fully restored to the pure and pristine spiritual condition that the first man and woman once enjoyed, which God had intended for them in the beginning.
In addition, I suggest the possibility of explosions and fallout when the seawater reached Atlantis' power supplies, which could have affected all life on earth producing monstrous animals - the dinosaurs.
EVOLUTION OF MAN
St. Luke writes:
"The scientists, in their geological search and research, in their finds of fossils and traces of ancient man and in their biological theories can rightly acclaim the evolution of man, but they can know nothing of his devolution anterior to that time. Man has not evolved from the lower animal, but only from himself when he reached the bottom of his fall, and was inferior in some ways to the brute animal. After long centuries, he commenced to rise from his base condition, and had made progress when the scientists, by their discoveries, found evidence of his then-condition, and since that time he has been the subject of their evolution”.
DATING ATLANTIS
Scientists at joint press conferences in Washington, D.C., and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, have announced the discovery of the oldest fossil skeleton of a human ancestor. The centerpiece of the treasure trove of new fossils is the skeleton assigned to a species called Ardipithecus ramidus belonging to a smallbrained, 110-pound (50-kilogram) female nicknamed "Ardi". This find is considered more important than that of Lucy, the iconic early human ancestor specimen that walked the earth 3.2 million years ago. It reveals that our ancestors underwent a previously unknown stage of evolution more than a million years before Lucy.
The fossil refutes the notion, popular since Darwin that a chimpanzee-like missing link resembling something between humans and today's apes would eventually be found at the root of the human family tree. Instead, the new evidence suggests that the study of chimpanzee's anatomy and behaviour long used to infer the nature of the earliest human ancestors is largely irrelevant to understanding the origin of human beginnings.
What this means is that Atlantis is a far more ancient land than any of the scientific speculations would indicate. This is so, because Atlantis existed during the devolution period, before the ape-man had made his appearance on the earth, and prior to the start of human evolution. Thus, the sinking of the continent was so many millions of years ago that nothing could possibly remain under the sea as recognizable evidence of a civilization that existed before the evolutionary period had even begun.
Therefore, the missing link is man himself when he was highly intelligent, before becoming an ape-creature and having to evolve back to human. This, in essence, is the theory of the "devolution and evolution" of man, which has powerful implications because it upholds the Bible's assertion that God created man and science's assertion that man evolved from a humanoid creature making both true.
If the clergy and scientists could accept this concept, it could bridge the gap between science and religion, and contribute to a better understanding of man's origin. And perhaps, could someday lead to greater tolerance between the different races and religions of the world.
