Astrobiology:

As with all philosophies dealing with the principles of universal order we should begin our exploration of Helgi Pjeturss' Nyall Phiolosophy (which indeed has been advancing through the works of scholars in this field) with the beginning of life itself. The theory states that upon the virgin earth, or any "virgin earth", there existed all sorts of DNAs- RNAs- and Proteins which were forming from single cells into polycellulars, thus creating life. Environmental conditions would determine exactly how these cells would react in each circumstance, and would determine exactly how the life form would evolve in its particular area. This explains the concept of regional adaptation in evolutionary theory. It is not that

the animals themselves, once fully formed, adapted to their surroundings, the idea is that in order for the life creating cells to evolve to animals which could survive the hardships of earth within a particular climate they had to form, in many different ways, into many different animals with their many different means of survival.

Animals and plants are connected to the greater universe along with what we would call "higher life" (divinity), but surely there are limitations in regards to their reproducing capabilities. When we look for evidence of the above we find that when crocodiles lay their eggs in the sand, the temperature of each egg can determine the sex of each embryo. This is a small glimpse of climactic adaptation.

The next step for life on the earthly scene would be the coming of man, the rising of intelligent life from the earth itself. In the earliest days the earth was basically a world of chaos. It was saturated in the energies of the Helstefna- the line of destruction. Consider the dinosaurs- never believe that it was mainly a meteorite in the carribean that put an end to all of them; their decline had begun long before that event (although this would certainly have been their final ruin). The dinosaurs were an illustration of the Helstefna principle: to eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. With the early humans already on their evolutionary path, formed by earthly elements, there needed to be a giant leap instigated by those already advanced so far that it would be incomprehensible even to us today. Enter the gods, who are biochemical beings, like us (only much further along on the evolutionary path), living in far-advanced worlds.

The ancient stories tell us that the gods came to our world and created the first humans from trees. But did this actually happen or could they have sent us the necessary energies for this evolutionary leap from afar? The answer is both really. The continuous course of biological evolution fits well to our ideas on memory collection (see below), the theory of the energization of chemical processes for becoming biological, etc. The Nyall Philosophy is earth-based, although it stretches itself to heaven- into the infinite stellar universe. The gods tried to energize the earth in many stages, and were present in that sense; how far and how often they have materialized here in the course of evolution and in the course of history is a matter of question- but such visits would not contradict some of our most basic principles.

So let us look now, reviewing some of the above, at what actually took place and continues to take place: once our earth was the home of single compounds, water, minerals, gasses and carbon compounds that developed into more and more complex groupings. Indeed, at this stage there was little obvious telephathy on the scene, which was the entire earth, lit up and warmed by the warm sun. Still more carbon compounds developed and up came the amino acids. There were, however, plenty of reasons in favor of the view that chemical processes could never carry this much further. The top had been reached, the available means exhausted. There was a dead end ahead.

But suddenly a new movement spread around on the surface of our earth and there were DNAs, RNAs and Proteins everywhere, interacting and creating each other incessantly and starting entirely new kinds of processes on a higher plane- which by now has continued all this time since then, probably 4000 million years. The seven miles step from amino acids up to the ultra-large molecules had been taken, and all of a sudden LIFE had entered the scene and, indeed, came to remain on this planet, at least to the present time. But how did it enter? How could the small units unite into these gigantic ever-changing assemblies, which are reciprocally needed for the creation of each of them, namely the large molecules?

In each race of mankind there exists a group of deities who are their divine racial counterpart. Each one ofg these races has what Doctor Pjeturss called "Verundur", the 'Highest Being'; we could probably say that the Verundur of the Teutons is Odin, or perhaps the unknown deity from Voluspa. This being emanates powerful energies throughout the universe. With the many races having a Verundur there are many such emanations out there! From this source, from the energetic origins of the cosmos there are constantly going out waves or rays of such energies persuading the chaotic substance to strive up the road of order and perfection. This implies that: the large molecules are created on a virgin earth out of the amino acids at hand, and suddenly there is a copy of the model in the same place, while the model-molecules are in the bodies of the other gods, who are in the intermediary stage between Verundur and the lower nature. You see that we are never "outside of the physical world" in our considerations of matters that so long have been, regrettably, the delicacy of "other worlders" (ethereal, interdimensional, etc.). In the ancient texts there is mention of Litr Goda - the image of the gods- which is in correlation to this theory. However, we must note that Astrobiological knowledge must be built up independently of religions, but the religious ideas can be reviewed from the astrobiological viewpoint, and understood to have more real contents than the skeptics ever anticipated.

We must conclude that our basic biochemical units are constantly in direct energy exchange with similar units in these far-advanced mankinds (godkinds). More than that: because of the mutual relations of these basic large molecules, they could never have originated without effects from their more energy-laden counterparts in other solar systems. This process if completely natural and "this worldly" and shows our connection to the gods and the universe around us.

The evolutionary principle here, concerning humans, gods and the Verundur is that evolution itself is a never-ending process that is as eternal as the universe itself. Everything is always growing, always expanding, and this has always been so. It is pompous for us humans to consider ourselves to be the pinnacle of biological and even psychological advancement on an evolutionary path we have only been part of for a few hundred thousand years! The older the race, the higher they will be in their advancement, and will continue to be so as long as there is room to grow!

Heraclitus wrote: "Life is a spark from the substance of the stars". In the above context this easily becomes understood and consequent. Pythagoras wrote: "The souls of animals come from the stars." Helgi Pjeturss wrote: "A tiny bit of the lifeless substance (on a virgin earth) is being transformed by the radiation from afar, into a life substance and an astounding road of evolution is being entered upon." And later, in describing the combinations always leading to a more perfect stage than the previous, he wrote: "Then the atoms get, because of the emanations from the origins, interconnected in more and more complicated compounds, until the compounds are raised up to the level called life."

The life or the soul of an individual is thought of as an arrangement of constantly moving particles and the radiation (bio-radiation) is the act of arranging the particles. Thorsteinn Jonsson-Ulfsstodum said: "I think of the life of every individual as a light being lit from a kind of long range light emissions station, which had, by its emissions, built up the lamp that is the receiver." The DNA-RNA-Protein complex is no mere structure, and rather it is in an ever-changing flux of combinations and energy transfers, that can never be repeated exactly, for the molecules are not static. For 4000 millions years ago or so, these differences did little harm. As soon as you are prepared to "repeat the experiment", an evolution has gone its way-life and the universe have learnt new things.

Be assured that cells existed before polycellulars, for some say that life is the evolution of the biosphere around the biosphere in general, but that is equal to saying that the nature of the cell is its participation in the life of the human body. Since cells existed before polycellulars, this is not a viable answer, although considering the biosphere as a life unit is really interesting indeed. The, once we consider thatr the same processes as have been stated above take place on millions of plants similar to ours, we note just how "alive" the universe is. The divine societies, made up of physical, biochemical beings, have life processes, chemical as they are, which display vital processes undreamtof in our realm. These processes create their lower evolved replica in the chemical matter of earth and similar worlds.

Thus the genetics of gods follow the same pattern as those of the human races, and the DNA-RNA-Protein is just the same (the earthly process being a slower replica of the divine). But the physiological coordination is much more perfect in the gods, and therefore their life is so happy. The gods live their happy life, and it was just as some surplus or leavings of their bioenergy that were materialized in the outskirts, in the life of protozoa and other primitive life. The Law of Determinants states that around certain humans there arise kinds of biofields, stronger than the ordinary ones: these are persons who are lucky to be effective in their conduct of life; those are not always the best ones; some thrive quite well "in the dirt of the earth" without goodness. The new 'structures' were subject to miscegenation. The model beings, gods, did their best to repair their genes- but there were others (Helstefna beings) who wanted ugliness and badness rather than beauty or luck. The biofields of gods are always elevated to much higher points, thus both inside their body and better harmonized, yet more independent

than we are. Every godkind has its special characteristics, physical as well as mental; and accordingly the human races, being copies of these models,display corresponding characteristics, on their lower stage. This explains why all races of the earth see their divine counterparts as reflections of themselves, or more accurately, vice versa. The more humans are aware of their relations to the gods the better.

The next question may be: but what of the evolutionary processes that continued after the initial formation (through evolutionary and divine energies) in what we know to be homo sapiens man? We have seen that the energy exchange between divinity and humanity continues on a constant basis, and it strengthens once we become aware of it and welcome it. The reason we have not seen much divine activity in this world for some time is because of the prohibitive attitude of so many earthly minds. Think of how you are treated when you enter the door of an unfriendly person. What if that person were to believe that you were non-existant (non-organic)? That attitude, dominant as it has been, among influential people, created a negative biofield (the vital field of energy which flows throughout the universe and helps to organize matter through regenerative processes), and that is what the gods have had to struggle with. Returning to the original question - once the processes from monocells to polycellulars had taken place to form life, different processes of human evolution took place to continue the natural pace each race has in its own capacity. Even today we see signs of evolution when some humans are born without tonsils or appendixes. But real evolution comes from the accomplishments of each race. Some of the reason for each individual racial advancements has to do, not only with the divine energies within each race, but also in the climate they evolved in. The Nordic race evolved in a cold climate where our far-sighted gods and goddesses placed us so we could constantly have to use the gifts they gave us in order to survive. Most of it has to with the powers of the gods who made us, which is why the evolutionary competition in our world corresponds to the divine competition. To do the best is to say our gods are the best!

It is probably that proto-Nordic man may not have looked quite like we do today, but it is doubtful that we would not recognize him/her as one of our ancestors in contrast with the ancestor of another race. Each race is, in effect, a specie which evolved in its own homeland and which could, in theory, given enough time to gestate, through the process of divergent evolution, become so far separated biologically from other races that interracial, or we should say interspecial fertility would become impossible. The reason interspecial fertility is possible today is because, even through when different godkinds, who most likely cannot mix sexually (in the stories when Jotuns and gods mate there is little genetic difference, like that between Celts, Nordics and Baltics. It is between those of the Nordic divine counterparts and those of other races who cannot and will not mix), sent their energies to form different races, the earthly matters were still the same.

The theories of Charles Darwin, though ingenious and deserving of praise for founding many evolutionary concepts, has become outdated, for it has not been

able to answer certain questions which have arisen since his publishing of On the Origin of the Species. It describes evolution from a middle point, where life has already come into existence and then begins to form different species. Some of his ideas may have been based on a monotheist upbringing, since his first ambition was to become a minister. I say this because his theories and researched have led many to look for a single origin point for life, for man in particular, like the Adam and Eve of the Bible. The truth is that a single origin (from fish or whatever) is impossible. It's as if saying that the same process from which a child grows into a man is the very one which gave him life, and genetic characteristics without ever putting into place the period of time put into the womb. It is studying the chicken without every looking at the egg. First of all, how could we believe that one specie of animal could ever evolve into another specie, or one genera into another for that matter? Certainly, all life forms through their birth processes and climate adaptations will evolve into different forms of their own specie and genera, but nature will rarely see exact replicas formed through living intelligence that is. Nature is simple too chaotic and moving for that or any concept of linear evolution. This may be possible for some of the lower life forms (plankton, clams, snails, etc) as they are all very similar. However, the more complex the life form the less chance there is for another form to "meet" somewhere on the evolutionary line.

Thus all races have their lowest and highest evolutionary points. Our stories have labeled the lowest "Thrall" , then "Thane", then "Karl", and at the highest point "Kon" or "ubermensch". We have all known thralls-useless individuals who live only for pleasure, and perhaps have met the highly effective Kon. Richard McCulloch best explains the higher man:

"Higher evolution is the supreme destiny which only Northernkind, unique among the hominid races covering the earth, has the potential to achieve. But this destiny can only be reached by following the path of creation. It is not an easy path. Degeneration, the path of anti-creation, of decadence and decline, of surrender and collapse, of low values and lower morals, is always the easiest path to follow, the path of least resistance to which both the weak and the wicked succomb, and attempt to drag everyone else down with them. Generation, the path of pro-creation, of creating oneself by consciously molding, shaping and developing one's bring to achieve one's maximum potential of quality, nobility, excellence, accomplishment, and metaphysically significant existence, and of recreating oneself through the procreation of quality children who will travel ever further along the same path, is a difficult path requiring strength and constant, willful, maximum effort and struggle (regeneration, returning to the path of creation [Lifstefna] after a period of degeneration, is the most difficult path of all). It is something that must be worked for. It can only be achieved internally, from within, not bestowed effortlessly and spontaneously, nor granted externally, from without (No act of true creation is effortless, regardless of certain theological claims to the contrary. Creation on the cosmic level, achieving our present level of existence, required maximum and unrelenting effort over a vast expanse of time. Creation on the individual level, self-creation, requires a proportionate

degree of effort and time). Few achieve it. Herd-man does not even try, and resents and fears those who do, for it is beyond his comprehension and appreciation. Those who achieve it become the (ubermensch) of whom Nietzche wrote. If evolution and creation is to ascend to a higher level of existence it is from their ranks that this new and better seed must come. They must have many offspring. Only thus can evolution move in the direction they represent. This is the path of creation. If it is followed it will achieve the triumph of the Northern spirit." - The Ideal and Destiny pg. 421-422.

Other races have the classes mentioned above, but only speculative evidence exists to support the theory that all races evolved from one and spread out over the earth. If we are to believe the dominant evolutionary model of Darwin we would have to conclude that any sort of racial or special extinction were to occur this would be inconsequential, since it could later evolve again if given the opportunity to undergo the supposed original process which created the race in the first place, which we know is an impossibility.

Earlier I mentioned the prohibitive attitude of humans towards the gods, thinking them not real, or at the very least not organic (i.e. ethereal in some sense). How such a belief, that the gods are not biochemical beings, originated was from the way in which they visit us. J.G. Bell at CERN developed his famous equations in 1962 that refer to the ability of any part of the universe to be at another place in the same moment of time. Thorstein Gudjonsson coined the term "instantaneous interstellar transfer of energies" (i.i.t.e a rewording of Helgi Pjeturss' Bioinduction theory) which shoes how certain energies can travel across the universe a million times the speed of light. One of the primary concepts of Nyall theory is that a 'velocity' - a connection - surpassing the speed of light by the multi trillion fold, is an innate quality of our universe. Such phenomena explain dreams (as will be shown below), deity visitations and other such visions - like U.F.O.'s, Bigfoot, aliens, etc. Many of these "sightings" are actually lucid dreams (indeed, most are recorded at night), visions, or perhaps may even be materializations; but in any case the same transfer of energy has occurred, only in varying degrees. When a materialization has occurred it is generally quite intentional, as it takes some effort for one to project an image of himself across the cosmos. The idea is that all things have bioradiation - a physical energy, even the lowest of creatures (we know it exists because it can be photographed with Kirlian photography). This bioradiation is the energy which is transferred (part of it anyway) during bioinduction- the ability of an organism to induce its processes in other organisms.

All of the universe is connected by a vital field or biofield (like the morphogenetic fields postulated by Rupert Sheldrake). It is this biofield which connects the universe and allows the bioinduction process to take place, thus bioinduction is

what takes place in i.i.t.e. When an entity wishes to project itself to our world it does so through bioinduction and this what we are seeing, in our weaker biofield (like the magnetic fields, some plants have stronger biofields, others, like ours, are weaker - see below), is an energy materialization of the real being living on another planet. To some, seeing such a thing may become mixed with the realm of "spirituality" and "mysticism", many have confused the method of occultists with their subjects of study, which are, indeed, real and worth full attention. All phenomena which have, to date, been labeled "supernatural", "other dimensional", "ethereal", etc. can be explained through Nyall philosophy in natural, scientific terms, never leaving the pattern of this (the only) universe.

Let's give an example of such religious explanations- in most, if not all religions of the world people describe the images of their deities and the afterlife with bright light (near death experiences also claim such things). The Christian faith (following an earlier Roman paradigm) shows saints, angels and their god with halos and bright light surrounding them. Most of the Odinic deities have names which correspond to bright light: Balder: "The Bright", Falr- "The White Browed", Herebeald- "The Bright Warrior"; Freyja: Mardoll- "The One Diffusing a Glimmering in the Sea"; Ullr: "The Glorious"; Odin: Jolnir- "The Bright One", Lodur: "The Fire-Producer"; Heimdallr: Glenr- "The Shining One", Lysir- "The Bright One", Gullintani- "The One With Golden Teeth"; Nat: Ostara-Eostre- "Goddess of the Dawn"; Bleik: "The Shining Maid"; Bjort: "The Bright Maiden"; Svipdag: "He Whose Countenance Shines Like the Day", Svedal: "The Shining Swine", Silfverdal- "The One Who Shines Like Silver"; Idun: Ljomanda Handleggurkona- "The Maiden With Shining Limbs"; Sunna/Sol: "Sun Goddess"; Groa: Sygrutha- "The Bright Maiden Who Grants Victory"; Delling: "Day Spring (Dawn)"; Dagr: "Day".

The reason such descriptions and names are given is because the bioradiations of higher evolved beings are much brighter than ours and so their energy can actually be seen in the form of bright light. Regenerated life (our ancestors in the next life) also has this bright radiation.

Of course, we cannot overlook those times in ancient lore when deities were said top have actually visited our world. All religions mention some form of divine visitation, and such does not contradict the Nyall model. Odin, Hoenir, Lodur, Freyja, Frigga and most notably Heimdall have all visited earth as we know from our lore. It is doubtful that they walked as flesh in Midgard, and turning religion into history (euhemerism) is a foolish and fruitless effort. Religion, just like science, is an attempt to explain universal realities. Religious theories should be no less logical than the scientific. Perhaps the only way a deity could travel on the earth as flesh would be through what I call telepathic auto suggestion (t.a.s.), which is commonly referred to as "possession" but is entirely different.

Before I go into the next aspect of Nyall there is one more aspect of Astrobiology to discuss- that being the evolutionary lines of planets. Most people agree that it is very unlikely that we are alone in the universe, Nyallsinnar ("Believers in the Nyall Philosophy") actually believe that the universe is quite full of intelligent life

(and that the universe itself is alive!). Millions upon millions of planets exist with life forms similar to our own. In fact, with the life processes mentioned above it is quite possible that we are in some way related to those on the other planets. The Odinic lore mentions several worlds- Gladheimr, Jormungrundr, Mannheimr, etc. so we can see that there are many godworlds as well, though we Nordics primarily connect to Gladheimr and Jormungrundr because the deities that gave us life originate from them. There are three "lines" or "paths" of evolution that worlds can be on: The aforementioned Helstefna - the lowest, where life is at its most chaotic and dysfunctional, being only a mere caricature of life. Primigene- "First Birth" plants where human life is born (but will move on to regenerate on other worlds after death). This line is constantly struggling between the lower and higher lines. The Lifstefna line is the line of the gods, of the higher life, of ancestors worthy of its glory. It is the path of immense effort and greater reward.

The divine endeavor, on the cosmic scale, is to cure Midgard (Which from our lore is "The Middle Realm", corresponding to "Primigene"; Utgard corresponds to Helstefna, and Asgard to Lifstefna. In Nyall reckoning Nifelheimr, Jotunheimr, Alfheimr, Mannheimr, Gladheimr, etc. are names of particular plants on these evolutionary lines, even if the ancient cosmology does not necessarily reflect this.) worlds completely from Helstefna infestation, so that even here, all life can be beautifully wise, victorious, and will enter the Asgard level. We have to strive for the Lifstefna, to reach for ubermensch, so that we may move on to Lifstefna worlds after we die, and so that one day our descendants will be able to live on a Lifstefna earth. Our primary task is to work for the gods and goddesses to improve access for them to our planet, which means a greater glory for them in the intergalactic community of gods. If our gods win over this planet, for the Lifstefna, from the Helstefna, means that millions of mankinds will appreciate it: "They did it, the Nordic gods!" they will say. Such is the competition between godkinds. In human life, more than previously, the real excesses of Helstefna have come to light, and continue to increase. 'Homo homini lupus'- man is like a wolf to his fellow man. Unfortunately, it goes even further beyond that. Human misfortune shows that, if it was bad in the beginning, it got worse and worse, until it is now approaching crisis levels- which may end with a total collapse. Such an end has come over a great number of primigene mankinds in the universe, as they had ignored the truth and were totally extinguished as their suns exploded (present astronomical theories on the nature of supernovas are incomplete). In the present situation, the course of earthly events is being watched closely, both from the glorious Lifstefna realms and Helstefna horror nests. In some cases- we still don't know how frequent- primigene mankinds, longtime Helstefna dependent, find, in spite of all, their way out of the darkness and enter the grand union. On the other hand our earth is on the brink of collapse now. We are being led towards a new World War. People and nations are being brought, successively, into 'compulsive' situations, where they are 'compelled' to increase hostilities and astrocities. The way out of this is through recogniztion and responsibility: recognition of our cosmic contacts (through dreams, see below) and the responsibility to be prepared to argue one's understanding. It has been prophesied that in the last instance the Lifstefna will win.

There are "afterlife" planets for humans as well, which are to be classified as Lifstefna vs. Helstefna planets. Lifstefna is the true, beautiful, always improving evolution of life; Helstefna the contrast to everything that is good and helpful. The primigene planets, many of them severely affected with the Helstefna, are to be divided into two categories: those which collapse and those which enter the Lifstefna line for continuous progress. You can easily realize that our planet is seriously affected with Helstefna. Every new war means an 'invitation' to Helstefna effects. On the other hand, planets that take up contact with other solar systems, survive; those which persist in Helstefna collapse. The Lifstefna is the path of higher men, regenerated higher life and deities of all kinds. Remember that Lifstefna, though a powerful line, does not hold a monopoly on power or strength; the Helstefna and primigene lines can be quite powerful as well. I say this because it is important for people to understand that Lifstefna is more than just strength. I personally have known people who believed they were working on a "higher path" because they worked hard, studied hard, kept themselves in good health, etc. but were hateful and bitter. The higher man/woman is detached to Helstefna influences, like the eagle who chases away the snake in her nest- not out of hate, but out of love for her children. He/She is compassionate rather than hateful, proactive rather than reactive, kind and noble, but hard when necessary.

Life will evolve; in a person's life their will determines whether they will move down the Helstefna of Lifstefna. Study the life of Loki to understand this better. When a person makes the turn-around from Helstefna to Lifstefna it not only affects them, but also their future generations of offspring. Their children will elevate more and more towards the Asgard level as the generations pass, and their course will be easier with each generation, for they will have had a heart start ("regeneration, returning to the path of creation after a period of degeneration, is the most difficult path of all" said McCulloch).

To understand more clearly the concepts of the three lines of evolution let us look at the origins of the cosmic order- the story of Ginungagap, which is quite possible from a scientific perspective. Once the universe (or part of it) was an infinite mass of chaos (Helstefna) which knew nothing of order until eventually, through a great amount of effort, a "hole" broke through the chaos and thus the Lifstefna was born. Evolution began. It was crude at first, but evolved more and more and expanded further and further out, as it continues to do today. Within it, the Ginungagap, there is a constant struggle between the evolving Lifstefna and the preceding Helstefna forces for the dominance of planets, just as there is between Ginungagap and the Utgard chaos for the dominance of the universe. Ginungagap will continue to expand, and the Lifstefna forces, when destroyed can evolve into higher forms, possibly eventually reaching the Lifstefna, for nature always seeks perfection. This is not always the case. This intergalactic struggle takes place within individual humans, within Midgard communities, nations, continents, planets, solar systems, galaxies, clusters, and so on.

Section 2 - Metabiology

Metabiology:

Just as Astrobiology explains the processes of life and anthropology, Metabiology explains the processes of death and eschatology. To begin we must look at the most basic principle of this theory- that individuals are made up of two different types of memory collection - the personal memory collection or "oeviminni" and the genetic or racial memory collection or "settminni". Genetic memory can be further divided into two classes- family memory and racial memory, but it isn't absolutely necessary to do this for your race is, genetically speaking, an extended part of your family. "Past life experiences" are best explained as manifestations of the genetic memory, since they are 'flahes' of memories handed down to us by our ancestors. When these flashes arise in our mind, one feels as though they are experiencing a past life. Your whole life consists of memory-collection; every momnent is preserved and at the end of our first life, the 'collection', which is our own bioradiation, requires a new organism to control (the individual biofield continues to be, because it is part of the whole, of the general vital field of the cosmos). Let's look at exactly how this happens - once the body has died the memory-collection/personal biofield, which is always in a living state that will not decompose like the body (it is called "soul" by the Eastern cults, but Asatruar call it litr goda, önd, hamr, hugr, minne, etc.) moves on to a more advances vital field. Earth has its vital field as well for it is a factor throughout all of the universe, but is it not as strong (though is significantly stronger than the lifeless worlds) as it is on more advanced planets (compare, but do not confuse with electromagnetic fields which are stronger and weaker on different planets- take our moon for example, a lifeless ball orbiting our world which exists solely to serve the purposes of our earth. Our planet is obviously much more advanced than it. Its vital and magnetic fields are virtually non-existent. All energies related, but still, do not confusde the two). We see the vital field at work around us in many ways- when cuts heal into scar tissue, when animals can regrow limbs, when scientists can grow body parts out of human DNA or even clone species, etc. We can even see how the memory-collection is effected by our earth's vital field. When people see 'ghosts', as they call them (Aftergöngur- "Backwards Walkers" in Icelandic, the deceased are called Framlidinn- "Forward Movers" because they have moved on to the next world), they are actually witnessing the materialization of a memory-collection in the earthly vital field. Just as with the mistake made upon seeing deities materialize or ancestors greeting them during near death experiences, people have taken these entities to be 'ethereal' or 'supernatural'. Nothing is supernatural, i.e. above nature for nature is all, our human minds need only to find a natural, logical explanation for the unseen realities of the universe. As we are doing now. Usually these 'ghosts' have, by force of their own will, caused themselves to stay here out of fear or a connection to something, the latter explaining the belief that

most of the dead attend their own funerals. Some of these 'ghosts' are good, others are not, depending on how they were in their first life.

Thus we see that everything you do in your first life influences your conditions in the next. Those whose conduct, habits and endeavor are similar in the first life, will come together in an afterlife society and will then be known as regenerate life. Those whose disposition has been to plague and torment others, have integrated such conduct into their minds so thoroughly thaty they cannot get away from it, except by suffering no less, probably worse than their previous prey. The "punishment" comes from the having been loaded with memories of harmful actions in primigene life; "reward" from having laid the foundations for an ever progressing life. True ethics is to be based on an inquiry into afterlife conditions. The concept of similar bioradiations being pulled to one another, both in this life (consider the "birds of a feather" idea) and the next, is called Biodynamic Attraction.

After death the memory-collection travels through the cosmos by the bioinduction process to a "like minded" planet by way of biodynamic attraction, which is when the bioinduction process attracts others to the energy transfer and can thus direct the transfer itself to a society of people with similar mentalities and genetics. Once the collection enters the atmosphere of the advanced world it begins to organize cells in the same manner as was shown before (in the initial creation of life) in order to create an exact replica of the person who died. Only this time, because of the knowledge acquired through the primigene life and death processes and the advanced conditions of the cells and environment on the next world, the person will regenerate into a higher evolved being and will continue to do so for as long as evolution will carry them. Thus we are immortal, we only come to recognize this immortality after we have died, when we realize that death is only a step which must be taken in order to reach the next stage of evolution. Just as there are millions of primigene planets, there are even more regenerate ("second birth") worlds which continue to accomodate the genetic lines of the former.

In any case we build, in the afterlife, upon the same genetic outfit we had for our primary life. But while we in the primigene life built exclusively on what our fore-fathers and mothers had acquired in a long period of evolution, the regenerative life rests of memories and habits from the first life as well as the evolutionary heritage. Life span memories (the aeviminni) are added to our racial memory (aettminni)- that is the essence of biology. In the second life, we remain the same persons as we were, but, on the good line, the possibilities for developing one's abilities are infinite. I guess, and would prefer, that people of approximately the same racial origin would form their special advancing societies; but never forget: the main characteristic of the advancing universe is harmony and communication in a sound and healthy manner.

So, what about other forms of life (lower animals and plants)? Well, the eggs from a single female cod are counted in tens of millions, and even though the universe is large- infinite indeed!- all space and all matter would soon be filled up

by young cods, if there were no limitations. Now, we know that all life has its difficulties to struggle with, animals, plants and humans. I have no doubt that animals and polants have survival possibilities in them, but how the restrictions act, I cannot say so far (possibly by survival of the fittest?). It is known here on earth that when 'the quotas' are filled, for certain species, the trend to multiply becomes reduced. It is quite natural that we begin acquiring information about our own co-humans (onj other worlds), then later we extend the systematic quest to our animal friends.

Now you can see the importance of the struggle along the Lifstefna line as opposed to the lazy and disfunctional way of the Helstefna. Your objective is clear- to fill your mind with as many positive and purposeful memories you can so that you will live ijn an afterlife society of like-minded people who are as asdvanced as you are. This in itself is a wisdom taught by many religions, and reflects how people should live. If you live honorable and by ethical standards your destination to the higher worlds will be paved out for you. If mankind continues on current trends, and does not take a drastic step from the Helstefna to the Lifstefna, this planet is doomed.

Most of what is explained in Metabiology comes through collections of data on experiences with ghosts, out of body experiences, near death experiences (N.D.E.s) and known scientific data. For instance, a recurring theme in N.D.E.s is the seeing of a "bright light" and often times beings of light. The light may sometimes be the sunshine of the new surroundings, but when it is a singular light of limited extension it is a bioradiative light, which is intended for the person. The beings of light have bright bioradiations, just as all deities have, which is why we see tem with such illuminated forms. Like a radio receiver we "tune in" to these beings and connect to them and are thus energized. We can also be energized by people on our world. Whenever we are positively supported and understood our biofield is energized because those people are emanating their bioinductive energies in our direction. In the same sense negative energies can repel us and/or drain us, unless one is on a strong Helstefna path of existence. They can feed upon such negativity like a vampire of a draugr.

The mere understanding of the Nyall philosophy gives us an edge in the afterlife because when we get to where we are going and regenerate we will know what is happening and where we will go. Thus when you know of life after death you are better off. When you think of the universe- instead of a stupid explosion out there (big bang)- your mind is both calmed and raised. Your deceased relatives get better access to you, if you realize that our Asatru forefathers kept the dead in honor and allowed communication from them to come through. I am reminded of a tradition in our lore which states that when we go before the gods in judgement at the Helthing after death we stand mute unless we know MálrÚnar (speech runes) and our hamingja represents us. The hamingja knows about life after death. It is up to us to be aware of the true phenomena of the afterlife so we will overcome all fear and stand before the gods with true wisdom and

understanding. Just as when we dream, in oprder to become lucid we must become aware that we are dreaming, what is taking place around us, then we are in control. From the above stated we learn two things about our dealings with the deceased: (1) That we should see funerals as joyous events because we know that our friends haver moved into higher existences. Few will mourn the wicked on the Helstefna line anyway, and rightly so, but their case is sad indeed for they will move towards realms of horrible situations- where nightmares come from (literally, see below). (2) That communication with the dead, and an open, positive attitude toward such things is important for life here and the worlds we communicate with. The more we communicate with them, the more channels open up between the worlds, as is the case with gods. The reason we do not see much psychic (biodynamic) activity on this world is because of the coming of monotheism and its subsequent domination on the world scene, which closed off such communication.

Lets look a bit into the question of psychic abilities. Whenever we use psychic powers to see probabilities we are engaging in a bioinductive process to seek information, like searching on an interplanetary internet. The "Web of Wyrd" is quite scientific at its corte, if you look past the poetic imagery, and it can be applied here. Searching for answers to questions in the infinite universal oracle about yet-to-be situations requires finding someone, through telepathic bioinduction, who has been through something similar and knows the end result if certain actions are taken. The same process is used when we communicate with the gods and goddesses and regenerated life forms (the dead). Biodynamic attraction leads us to our destinations, where we need to go to find what we are looking for. Divinity knows best, which is why we generally look to gods and goddesses for answers, but the regenerate life-forms and sometimes even other primigene beings can and will answer as well. Scientists have proven that telepathy exists through a rigorous study of those known to have a higher than average (for we are all telepathic beings) ability. Here are the results of one such study from Stephen LaBerge shown in his book Lucid Dreaming :

"...(one) phenomenon whose existence is widely attested to is the mysterious mode of information transfer called extrasensory perception (ESP). A wealth of antecdotal evidence supports the idea that ESP occurs, working across both space and time. If it is indeed possible to perceive, in some fashion, events that are happening at a distance, or even those that have not yet happened, space and time must be other than what they seem, and the same goes for subjective and objective realities!"

And another study from Dr. Montague Ullman and Dr. Stanley Krippner, also mentioned in lucid Dreaming, focused on dream telepathy, which, as we shall see, is extremely important to the Nyall philosophy. In their experiments they had one person sleeping in one room and another person in a different room who was known as a powerful telepathic (indeed, we realize that some of us have to consult through divinational mediums and rituals to do what others do naturally),

sending the sleeping person images they (the telepathic) focused on when the former reached the R.E.M. stage of sleep (when dreams are believed to occur). When the person awoke they discussed their dream and compared it with the image. When the study concluded it was noted that the accuracy of the recollections was too high to be mere chance. From this we can see the bioinduction process at work, taking place in a close range.

Section 3 - The Dream Theory

The Dream Theory

From out of the Nyall concepts discussed already there arises its most profound theoretical ideal; the cornerstone of which is the distinction between memory (Minne, cp. Odin’s raven Munnin) and perception (thought- Hugr, cp. Odin’s raven Huginn). There is a difference between reality and thought. All of our perceptions are simply the recognition that new memories have originated through an interplay with the events. They always arise by reactions to stimuli and are never a part of an ‘imaginary’ process. As we have stated, bioinduction is telepathy and when we dream we are taking place in the bioinduction process with a being somewhere else. That person can be anywhere in the universe, even, in some special cases (such as the one shown above), here on earth. Our dream experiences are the real experiences of the person we exchange energies with (it is interesting to note the word ‘exchange’ because the phrase “vixla litum” [exchanging of the litr, the inner essence of the gods placed within humans] was considered a shamanistic practice among our ancestors). Such ‘faring forth’ is in actuality lucid dreaming. The concept of ‘exchange’ implies interaction with two people, as is shown here). Thus the person who is actually experiencing these events is ‘giving’ us our experience and is therefore called a dreamgiver. When a dreamer does not understand what the dreamgiver is doing this can cause erroneous interpretation (memory substitution). This is why so many see the “symbols” of their own life when they record a dream. People tend to cover the real life instances of the dreamgiver with images from their own life when they record the dream. Once you dispose of this type of dream consideration the dreams themselves become clearer to you and the loss of anxiety over figuring out dream symbology with confusing psychoanalytical terms can strengthen your biofield.

It is important to understand the nature of dreams because that in itself strengthens your dream energy. Strong dream energy will allow you to have lucid dreams, positive dreams, and will allow you to easily remember them. Sleep, the immediate corollary of dreams, is a state of receiving an energy vital to man, in which dream energy is included as a factor. Other factors which build up dream

energy are: a positive attitude, a healthy diet with plenty of dark green vegetables and water, fresh air, listening to classical music (which stimulates the mind) and an unstressful environment. Meditation will definitely help as well, for it allows one to gain the focus needed to perform the procedures required for obtaining lucid dreams, which builds up dream energy.

Stephen LaBerge concluded in his expose on Lucid Dreaming that the idea of the dream world being real is a good possibility, though he does not quite go as far as we do:

“If early humans believed they had discovered in the dream a second “real world” what might they have meant? Did they merely mean that the dream world had a subjectively verifiable existence? That dreams were only real while they lasted? Or that dreams existed actually and objectively in some subtle plane(t) of existence every bit as real as the physical world?”

“Is there any evidence suggesting that dreams can be objectively real? Several enigmatic phenomena seem to raise the possibility that, in some circumstances, the dream world may be at least partially objective. One of these enigmas is the uncanny experience in which a person feels he or she has somehow temporarily left his or her body (or the feeling of falling one gets when drifting between consciousness and sleep, which is catching the bioinduction process while it is happening –ed.). Survey data indicate that a number of people have had such out-of-body experiences (O.B.E.s) at least once in their lives. Very frequently, those who have this experience becomes unshakably convinced that they, or at least some part of themselves, are capable of an existence independent of their bodies.”

On the latter note we have to say rightly so because the process which deals with energy exchanges that cause dreams are the same that deal with life force (bioradiation and memory-collection) moving forward after death, that is, the bioinduction process. In fact, we can attribute any exchange of bio-energies across space with this concept. When we strengthen our own personal biofields the bioinduction process builds up and a clearer channel of communication can take place between you and your dreamgivern

Lucid dreaming is induced once you become aware that you are dreaming while you are asleep – in the dream process. This means that you have become aware of the dream-dreamgiver relationship, as does the dreamgivern. You feel like you are in total control of yourself, but only because the dreamgiver’s telepathic energies have united more closely with yours through your awareness. Once you have experienced this, if you have not, you will realize just how powerful awareness is, for the dream will then seem more real than reality itself. Sometimes you may even wake up and wonder if you are still dreaming, and indeed there will be times when you actually will be.

There are guidelines one can use to help them achieve the lucid dream state. Follow them carefully and with a strong intent. They come from LaBerge’s book Lucid Dreaming:

1. Each night tell yourself a considerable amount of times that you are dreaming so as to get it into your memory before sleep.

2. Each night tell yourself that you want to remember your dream when you wake up.

3. When you wake up your first thought should be, ‘what was I dreaming?’ Then recall your dream and write it down in a dream log. If you can’t remember the dream, think of what you are feeling at the present moment. This should help you remember.

4. During the day continuously tell yourself that your waking life effects your dreaming life (for the memory-collection is always conscious).

5. Before going to sleep you must invoke your mental energies to allow yourself to fully understand the dream state. We must intend on becoming lucid in order to actually do so. Remember – “I am”.

6. Always ask yourself- “Am I dreaming or not?” at least 5-10 times at bedtime and while falling asleep is also favorable.

7. a. Allow yourself to passively enter the dream scenery. Forcing will cause the dream to fade. b. While going to sleep, imagine that your body is somewhere else, doing something other than lying in bed, though do not forget that you are entering the dream state.c. Concentrate on the idea, while you are falling asleep, that you will no longer perceive your body.

As soon as you have fallen asleep it is possible to float freely, as a point of awareness, in a space which seems to be identical with the place in which you went to sleep.

8. Another method is to count to yourself (“One, I am dreaming; two, I am dreaming; three, I am dreaming…”) while drifting off to sleep. The result is that at say “fourty-eight, I am dreaming” you actually will be.

9. You can also simply tell yourself before going to sleep “tonight, I will have a lucid dream.” But you must truly intend to have one.

10. M.I.L.D. (Method of Inducing Lucid Dreams):

1. During the early morning, when you have awakened spontaneously from a dream, go over the dream several times until you have memorized it.2. Then while lying in bed and returning to sleep, say to yourself, “Next time I am dreaming, I want to remember to recognize I am dreaming.”3. Visualize yourself as being back in the dream just rehearsed, only this time, see yourself realizing that you are in fact, dreaming.4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your intention is truly fixed or you fall asleep.

11. You can make a recording set to go off at a certain time that will tell you in your own voice that you’re dreaming. There are devices that aid in this, such as one that flashes red lights as soon as the eyes go into R.E.M. stage.

Lucid dreams can definitely make a positive impact in your life and put you on a new course of thinking. You may want to watch out for some tricks the mind may play on you, such as false awakenings, which can be stopped by causing yourself to spin around in your dream. That’s right, when you are lucid you seemingly have control of your dreams, for your awareness of the dream state raises your dream energy to such a level that both you and the dreamgiver are aware of what is going on and both minds become one.

There is an instance, thought it is very rare, when the dreamgiver can be controlled by the dreamer, or vice-versa. This is caused by what I call Telepathic Auto Suggestion (T.A.S.). It is the act of using the bioinduction process to “hypnotize” the receiver of the energies ina sort of way. When shamans or mediums allow “spirits” to “enter” them and speak through them this is actually what is happening. The medium has become the dreamgiver on a lucid level and has allowed the dreamer (or one who has sent their bioradiation in one way or another) to “take over” through T.A.S. This type of situation can be dangerous, especially if there is a Helstefna being who may wish to use T.A.S. by force, which we would call “possession”, but usually this only happens to very vulnerable people with extremely weak energy who cannot fend off such attacks.

Dream telepathy extends throughout the universe, through all three planetary lines- Helstefna, Primigene, and Liftefna. When nightmares occur they are almost always from a Helstefna world, except for those cases when one is reaching out for help from a bad situation on a primigene world or something similar to that. Most ordinary dreams come from primigene worlds where things can be pleasant, boring, dangerous, or even sometimes scary- like our world. Most pleasant dreams, where all is beautiful and alluring, occur on Lifstefna worlds where gods and regenerates live. Use nightmares to build yourself up, trying to figure out what is causing your mind to connect to such a horrible place until the nightmares stop. A comparison of dreams from various observers might lead to a kind of “cartography” of several planets, which might further facilitate communication, for more and more people.

Here are four major forms of observing dreams:

1. Try to learn, from the context, if the dreamgiver is on a primigene planet or a regenerate (“afterlife”) planet.2. Observe if you find valid reasons for some mind contents proper to you, the dreamer, entering the dreamgiver’s mind during the dream. This is a ver delicate kind of observation, for you are he and he is you. If this is the case, you may even try to help the dreamgiver, if he is in a troublesome situation.3. Astronomical dreams, from people either having good or just elementary knowledge about the stellar system, could help us in localizing in space in the planets we communicate with most frequently, at least if there are some nearby solar systems involved. 4. In your waking hours, maybe you are sometimes a dreamgiver yourself. This would be difficult to discover, but is nevertheless worth remembering this possibility.

For many years scientists, historians and philosophers have believed that the origins of metaphysics rests in the world(s) of dreams. Even though they were intending them to be something imaginary their overall conclusion was exactly right. The lore of our gods and goddesses comes from a saga that represents events that actually occurred in the divine realm, but is retold here using ancient forms of interpretation and poetic imagery. The skalds were certainly inspired by dreams, visions, materializations, and even possibly actual visitations by deities such as Rig-Heimdall. When you believe that such things are possible your mind becomes susceptible to the other bioradiations and you will experience such phenomena. When people believe that they will see a U.F.O. they give themselves the mental state that does not oppose other life in the universe and so unconsciously they support an advancing field, thereby boosting the biodynamic process.

Section 4 - The Purpose of the Nyall Philosophy

The Purpose of the Nyall Philosophy

Next to understanding and teaching the above shown dream theory we Nyallsinnar hope to get our mankind to enter a direct, “psych” (bioradiative) relationship with:

1. Dwellers on regenerate planets of the right tendency, who know our mental state and submit theirs to ours.2. Dwellers on primigene (first-birth) planets, where evolution proceeded along similar lines as here, while some of them recently found a more fortunate line,

others not so far.3. Far-advanced or godlike dwellers on Lifstefna planets, capable of biodynamic intervention. The Northern gods of old are represented in this.

A station for interstellar communication is required for making the above effective. When contact has been established, star-dwellers may succeed in making their presence felt, which means that possibilities for applying biodynamic methods will be realized, and that is more urgently needed now than ever before in human history.

Peace Power is a prime characteristic of stations for interstellar communication. This power, establishing itself as charity in everyone, invites visits from more advanced humanities in the cosmos and heralds a new age in the history of mankind.

With these means, subject to the Law of Determinants, every kind of unrest or violence, anywhere, could be brought to rest. So long as all races of the world respect each other and maintain this respect through cultural acceptance, and at the same time a desire for cultural and racial preservation for all, so that each may evolve on their own line. The receiving station will even act as a kind of antenna for Lifstefna influence to the vital field of our planet.

For Nordics, we can strengthen our relationship with our gods and goddeses by: 1- Spreading the knowledge about the real nature of sleep and dreams; 2- by realization of the physical nature of the afterlife; 3- Taking up conscious communication with the departed in this sense. But be cautious. All kinds of traps exist, in a mad world like ours. Yet without courage of some kind nothing can be accomplished.

Here are some things that can be done to help out our people and eventually all of mankind:

1. Our theoretical approach is quite safe. If you feel strong enough, after making yourself acquainted with it represent it in your area, you should (as with all of our ideals), try to teach but not preach.2. The prospect of physical life after death tells us to extend survival here as long as possible. The new body is a continuation of this one, and we should not ‘jump off’ the planet, since we are the ‘crew of the vessel’ that must sail its course.3. The purpose of life is to extend, by the energies lent to us, the Asgard realm- the realm of harmony and sympathy- as far out into the Midgards as possible. When we have entered the Asgard realm, that is, when our bodies have regenerated on afterlife (regenerate) planets, we discover that we are no longer in the position to build up the divine realm out here. We then have to seek others- preferably younger ones, to continue our task, and they are not always easily found.

What is most needed for making this planet accessible to Odin-kin is that we understand the necessity of a physical afterlife: life in other solar systems. The gods despise bleak spirit life, they will have it tangible. Let’s look to Viktor Rydberg in his Researches in Teutonic Mythology (tr. Rasmus Anderson):

“The account now given of the myths concerning the lower world shows that the hierologists and skalds of our heathendom had developed the doctrine in a perspicuous manner even down to the minutest details. The lower world and its kingdom of death were the chief subjects with which their fancy was occupied. The many sagas and traditions which flowed from heathen sources and which described Svipdag’s, Hadding’s, Gorm’s, Thorkil’s and other journeys down there are proof of this, and the complete agreement of statements from totally different sources in regard to the topography of the lower world and the life there below shows that ideas were reduced to a systemized and perspicuous whole. Svipdag’s and Hadding’s journeys in the lower world have been incorporated as episodes in the great epic concerning the Teutonic patriarchs, the chief outlines of which I have presented in the preceding pages. This is done in the same manner as the visits of Ulysses and Aeneas in the lower world have become a part of the great Greek and Roman epic poems.

“Under such circumstances it may seem surprising that Icelandic records from the Middle Ages concerning the heathen belief in regard to the abodes after death should give us statements which seem utterly irreconcilable with one another. For there are many proofs that the dead were believed to live in hills and rocks, or in grave mounds where their bodies were buried. How can this be reconciled with the doctrine that the dead descended to the lower world, and were there judged either to receive abodes in Asgard or in the realms of bliss in Hades, or in the world of torture?

“The question has been answered too hastily to the effect that the statements cannot be harmonized, and that consequently the heathen-Teutonic views in regard to the day of judgement were in this most important part of the religious doctrine unsupported.

“The reason for the obscurity is not, however, in the matter itself, which has never been thoroughly studied, but in the false premises from which the conclusions have been drawn. Mythologists have simply assumed that the popular view of the Christian church in regard to terrestrial man, conceiving him to consist of two factors, the imperishable body and the imperishable soul, was the necessary condition for every belief in a life hereafter, and that the heathen Teutons accordingly also cherished this idea.

“But this duality did not enter into the belief of our heathen fathers. Nor is it of such a kind that a man, having conceived a life hereafter, in this connection necessarily must conceive the soul as the simple, indissoluble spiritual factor of human nature. The divisions into two parts, lif ok sála , líkamr ok sàla, body and

soul, came with Christianity, and there is every reason for assuming, so far as the Scandinavian peoples are concerned, that the very word soul, sàla, is, like the idea it represents, an imported word. In Old Norse literature the word occurs for the first time in Olaf Trygveson’s contemporary Halfred, after he has been converted to Christianity. Still the word is of Teutonic root. Ulfilas translates the New Testament psyche with saiwala, but this he does with his mind on the Platonic New Testament view of man as consisting of three factors: spirit (pneuma), soul (psyche), and body (soma). Spirit (pneuma) Ulfilas translates with ahma.

“Another assumption, likewise incorrect in estimating the anthropological-eschatological belief of the Teutons, is that they are supposed to have distinguished between matter and mind, which is a result reached by the philosophers of the Occident in their abstract studies. It is, on the contrary, certain that such a distinction never entered the system of heathen Teutonic views. In it all things were material, an efni of course or fine grain, tangible or intangible, visible or invisible. The imperishable factors of man were, like the perishable, material, and a force could not be conceived which was not bound to matter, or expressed itself in matter, or was matter.

“The heathen Teutonic conception of human nature, and of the factors composing it, is most like the Aryan-Asiatic as we find the latter preserved in the traditions of Buddhism, which assume more than three factors in a human being, and deny the existence of a soul, if this is to mean that all that is not corporal in man consists of a single simple, and therefore indissoluble element, the soul.”

There are two alternatives: Odinism could proceed towards a tragic end, which means the devastation of the planet from hate (ending with a nuclear planet-wide cataclysm). The other is awakening to Balder and Nanna, the divine discoverers of the nature of dreams. This means that Asatru practitioners should learn to understand interstellar communications and so become channels for divine energy and wisdom, from Asgard.

Other planets are experiencing movements like ours and these movements are gaining more strength as well as prudence. Through dreams these evolutionary channels, in different solar systems could be informed of each other and integrated to each other. This would be extremely important for the Asgard-universe, billions of solar systems where they aim at developing Midgard life in more accordance with the Asgard model. This model always stood behind and supported our life, but incompletely, as long as man did not know.

In closing I would like to say that in our modern world there are several models used to explicate the mysterious concepts of faith, most especially pagan faith. These religious viewpoints or interpretations range from nature symbology to spiritualism to Jungian archetypes. Nyall, to me, seems to be the most valid method of exploring the sacred ancient traditions because it not only uses

scientific theory the elucidate religious beliefs, it also uses the religion itself to explain phenomena within our universe usually left unexplained or passed off as “imaginary”. It is this idea in itself that formed the original purpose for religion, since to the ancients religion and science were one. In fact, it can be said without hesitation that religion, in the pagan sense of the term, was the first science, the first system of theory used to enlighten our people about the world(s) around them. As astrology developed into astronomy, herbalism into medicine, philosophy into psychology, etc. the world of science parted company with its heathen origins. This separation was due to the introduction of Dark Age religions that disdained education and enlightenment, be it not of their nonsensical “message”. With Nyall we truly return to the ancient ways, using our beloved lore to make sense of many of the wonders of the universe, spanning our search for understanding and awareness from the microcosm to the macrocosm – to the far reaches of the living cosmos.
