as a planet, a solar system, or a galaxy. Since Lacu is Kadar (Head) of the tribunal for this Solar System, he<br />
would naturally use the Circle-Cross as his symbol.<br />
Ponnar is an important personage from the planet Hatonn in the galactic system of Andromeda. The symbol<br />
he always uses is: This symbol of "eternity" is very old and is found on several of the Tarot Cards.<br />
The symbol of the Tree of Life or the Tree and the Serpent is one of the Earth's most ancient representations.<br />
Remember in "_The White Sands Incident_", by Dan Fry, where Dan noticed a simple design imprinted in the<br />
material of the seat in the Saucer? Alan said: "Oh, I see you have noticed the symbol and recognized its<br />
significance." "Yes," Dan said, "anyone who has ever read to any extent would recognize the symbol of the<br />
tree and the serpent. It is found in the original inscriptions and legends of every race on earth. It has always<br />
seemed to me to be a peculiarly earthly symbol and it was startling to see it appear from the depths of space or<br />
from whatever planet you call home."<br />
Alan answered Dan by saying: "These are things which I had hoped to put off until our next contact. There is<br />
so much to tell and so little time. Our ancestors came originally from this earth. They had built a great empire<br />
and a mighty science upon the continent which your legends call 'Mu' or 'Lemuria'."<br />
Mu was symbolized as a tree--the Tree of Life. The unadorned serpent is Khan the symbol of Khanab, "The<br />
Great Waters", the ocean. Mu was surrounded by water, even as the tree is surrounded by the serpent. There<br />
were indigenous life forms on other worlds, but several research groups have received information that during<br />
the catastrophes that struck both Lemuria and Atlantis, groups of people were evacuated from the Earth and<br />
taken to other planets. Especially Mars and Venus.<br />
"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."<br />
(Revelation 2:7).<br />
"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve<br />
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the<br />
nations." (Revelation 22:2).<br />
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in<br />
through the gates into the city." (Revelation 22:14).<br />
Swedenborg says that by "the tree of life" is signified a man who lives from God, or God living in man; and as<br />
love and faith, wisdom and charity, or good and truth, make the life of God in a man, these are signified by the<br />
Tree of Life, and derivatively also the eternal life of man is signified. The Babylonians had a symbol of the<br />
Tree of Life, as did the Greeks for they spoke of "the wide spreading tree of Jove". The Egyptians had the<br />
"pillar of degrees", apparently a conventionalized palm tree in which they showed three levels or degrees. The<br />
Teuton mythology knows the tree Yggdrasil which grows by the well of Urd, the well of wisdom. Its branches<br />

Early in 1952, a strange young man appeared in California. He lectured on the coming of the space people to<br />
earth. He always spoke to small groups of students or clubs. There was nothing unusual about him except that<br />
he wore a lapel button on which was a distinctive symbol. (See Plate XV). Here we see the familiar swastika<br />
of the Four Forces and a serpent twined about a wand or rod. This is similar to the caduceus, a magic herald's<br />
wand, a sacred rod having power over wealth, prosperity, happiness, and dreams, carried by the messengers of
