When I look at the seven-centered being, I look at what it brought us. The whole glory package was in here. This was the whole glory package, this mind, this glory, the absolute incredible glory of mind. And we can understand that.

We can understand what it was like that the moment that we began to be able to possess the basic tools of what Homo sapiens would need, that is, the articulation capacity, the memory capacity, and the ability to speed up the learning process through communication and through storage. That basically, the mind of the Homo sapiens, it was the mind that it brought, and it brought this advancement in the ability of self-reflected consciousness to emerge.

One of the things—there are things that I know and there are things that I speculate on. For example, because the seven-centered being originated mind as inner authority, that the seven-centered being never experienced correctness, never. I don't care what variation, what version, what name you’re going to pull from history; it’s all relative, after all. But it is clear for me that the seven-centered being had no access to what we understand as tonal cognition; no access to it. Only the thematics of those themes the way they operate in transference without the cognitive resources behind it; in other words, a dysfunctional strategic surface.

The seven-centered being brought the distortion, this vast, vast, vast distortion that we call humanity today. This is from the seven-centered being and the glory of mind. These were deeply, deeply, deeply survival-oriented beings. You can’t even call them left. I know I do. They were simply focused on survival and integrating that focus on survival moving from the defensive to the offensive as they expanded their mental communicative capacity; the great omnivore, the most proficient killer ever at any level of imagination. This is the seven-centered being and the seven-centered being brought this mind out.
