Sacred Four, but later this meaning was lost to him; however, it continued to be used in rituals and thus was<br />
handed down from generation to generation. These Sacred Four were the Executors of the Seven Great<br />
Commands of Creation. The ancient conception was: "In the beginning chaos reigned throughout the universe,<br />
which was in darkness and without sound. Then the Creator, desiring to create worlds, commanded His Four<br />
Great Forces to establish law and order in the universe so that creations might commence. When law and<br />
order became established the Creations were carried out by the Sacred Four according to His desires and<br />
commands." Apparently all ancient peoples had their special names for the Sacred Four according to their<br />
language; some had scores of names for them. They were designated as: The Sacred Four, the Four Great<br />
Ones, the Four Powerful Ones, the Four Strong Ones, the Four Great Kings, the Four Great Maharajas, the<br />
Four Great Builders, the Four Great Architects, the Four Great Geometricians, the Four Great Pillars of the<br />
Universe, the Four Genii, the Amshaspands by the Mazdeans, the Elohim and Seraphs by the Hebrews, the<br />
Rabiri and Titons in Hesiod's theogony, etc. Not only did the Sacred Four get sundry names bestowed upon<br />
them by various people; but symbols in the form of crosses were designated to emphasize the names. The<br />
swastika, itself, always retained a warm corner in the people's hearts. As said before, this symbol is found<br />
throughout the world in all ages from ancient Mexico to early American Mound Builder to Egyptian, etc.<br />
Therefore, in the heel, we see the Four Great Forces emanating from Deity, and traveling from West to East<br />
around a center. Why do we look to the most ancient symbols for interpretive material? This is because "We<br />
have found in the most ancient records of the Aryan language proof that the indications of religious thought<br />
are higher, simpler, and purer as we go back in time, until at last, in the very oldest compositions of human<br />
speech which has come down to us, we find the Divine Being spoken of in the sublime language which forms<br />
the opening of the Lord's Prayer." (Duke of Argyll). Remember, the swastika was primarily a sun symbol and<br />
was associated with Apollo. It has always been associated with those who apparently came to Earth to teach<br />
men better ways of living; of governing themselves; agricultural methods; and greater appreciation of the<br />
physical form in beauty and perfection. Therefore, the swastika is not indigenous to Earth. It is certain that<br />
this ancient symbol came to the people on Earth from a source in outer space and was then incorporated into<br />
religious beliefs on this planet. So, it is not too difficult to see that it would be very useful and would find its<br />
way into a universal symbol. All men everywhere would understand the significance of the Sacred Four and<br />
the Creator. In the book, "Astronomy" by Arthur M. Harding, Ph.D., in the section entitled "The Clock In The<br />
Northern Sky" we find: "The Great Bear is the oldest of the constellations. It moves slowly around the pole<br />
star, making one complete circuit in twenty-four hours. Here is a Celestial Clock that never runs down,<br />
requires no attention and is always absolutely accurate. From this natural clock the expert astronomer can get<br />
his time with an error of only a few minutes if he knows the day of the month. When the Dipper is below the<br />
pole star it is in its natural position. Six hours later it will be standing on the end of its handle on the East side<br />
of the pole. At the end of twelve hours it will be upside down and over the pole and at the end of eighteen<br />
hours it will be found West of the pole and standing on its bowl. The Dipper is directly over the pole in May,<br />
West of the pole in August, directly beneath the pole in December and East of the pole in late February."<br />
Taking this description of the Great Bear Constellation into consideration we find we have a definite swastika<br />
design that is, by drawing, a clockwise swastika. However, it moves counter-clockwise around the pole star.<br />
(See Plate VII, Fig. 1). So it<br />

 is easy to see why the space people might very well use the swastika as a universal symbol or emblem.<br />
Now we will interpret the four symbols that are drawn between the four arms of the swastika in the Right<br />
Heel. The early writings of the Persians and the Chinese tell us that there were Four Bright Stars in the sky<br />
that protected and watched over the others. Notice the use of the Sacred Four again. These stars were said to<br />
be in the West, the North and the South. These positions evidently corresponded to the Vernal Equinox, the<br />
Autumnal Equinox, the Winter Solstice and the Summer Solstice--the Four Cardinal points of the sky. If we<br />
turn the Zodiac back to where it was five-thousand years ago we find four bright stars in the Four Cardinal
