Maldek, the Moon, Edgar Mitchell – Beginner’s Mind in the Quest for Truth

Maldek – A Interesting Trip with a Spectacular Landing

The Beginners Mind – Returning to the Quest

A bit of history prior to meeting Dr. Edgar Mitchell. In the fall of 1988 I attended a lecture on Indian Guides at a metaphysical church in Phoenix and it had nothing to do with a secret space program, yet as the night went on there were hints it might in regard the legend of Maldek.

Virgil Armstrong, a Veteran with an interesting history, then going by ‘Posty’, gave the lecture that I hoped would be very informative as I was still curious about my Indian guide, Zephyr. That’s another story entirely.

It was odd; of course, that an elder white guy dressed in some pretentious Indian garb would be doing such a thing. Still, his stories of how he encountered his spirit guides and the information he shared was intriguing. I hadn’t had any experience with Indians yet, other than when I asked about my guide while reading Tales of Power by Carlos Castaneda, so I listened with an open mind and heart.

Virgil seemed a very gentle and kind-hearted man whom I did not know until that evening. One of his stories, though, caught my attention and had a story line of possibly millions of years. It was about a planet called Maldek and the history of Earth and our Moon. I did not hear anything like it since.

Memory in the Thoughtmosphere?

There was something about it that felt familiar, although I didn’t understand why at the time. However, it did stick with me and years later it began to actually make sense and certainly trumps any Secret Space Program we might have. I had no idea I would meet Dr. Edgar Mitchell a few years later.

Apparently many, many, many years ago Maldek had a highly advanced civilization, perhaps even a Type II on the Kardashev scale. A Type II civilization—also called a stellar civilization—can harness the total energy of its planet’s parent star (the most popular hypothetical concept being the Dyson sphere—a device which would encompass the entire star and transfer its energy to the planet(s)). Their technology had developed to where they were able to at least travel in our solar system as well.

The planetary administration or those in charge at least, thought it a brilliant idea to extend their technology to another planet within their range. They had developed a system for harnessing energy through geomancy, tapping ley lines of a planet to access electromagnetic fields of immense strength. Evidently they had depleted their own resources as they developed technology that required massive amounts of power, much like we have on Earth today.

Maldekian Planetary Management

According to Virgil, Maldek’s ‘system’ was built using structures that sat atop points where energy converged into accessible ‘nodes’ and directed a finely tuned beam back to Maldek. There, they had developed arrays that could receive and transfer the energy into their power grids. Like humans, they wanted to go off-world to solve their problems.

If your mind leaps ahead with bits of information, you aren’t alone. Mine did for sure. Before we go there, though, there were benevolent others who had been visiting the planet from outside the solar system. They knew of the predicament that Maldek faced and that more than likely things were going to go awry. Edgar Mitchell experienced something that gives some credence to the story.

In preparation for the ‘event’ and before the ‘system’ was turned on for the first time an escape plan was launched. The civilization that had emerged, like our present Earth, had brilliant beings with skill sets that we can only imagine currently, yet were of pure intent and purpose. Sure, some of their inventions were subverted toward the building of this system that was going to save their world.

A temporary shelter was created, capable of housing millions yet there would still be challenge because the Maldek’s population was far beyond that and a there was no lottery, per se. The requirement for future residents of this shelter was simply a certain level of consciousness, which was not present except in certain ones who had remained pure of heart and mind. We could compare it to those who’ve reached a level of awareness and ability to live for thousands of years through developing a discipline mind and body.

The shelter itself was a massive sphere, complete with its own ability navigate as well as to generate power and cultivate food for its inhabitants. It was essentially a massive wire-framed structure, impenetrable and yet covered with a material that attracts stardust that normally exists in any solar system and galaxy; a unique kind of terra-forming that would eventually create a surface once the shelter was in a safe place.

The system had been built by some of the finest minds and math that was only tested in small models, yet proved viable on that scale. The structure for tapping the energy of a local planet were built and readied for testing. However, like the Tesla devices used on the Eldridge, things went haywire quickly. The initial tests did not consider the harmonics that this kind of power would cause to Maldek.

What was the system? Supposedly it was the pyramids that were built on the Earth to capture and send the electromagnetic field energy and send it to collection devices on Maldek. Something that massive, pulling and sending incredible amounts of power only needed a fraction of a miscalculation for the whole thing to go sideways. It did, obviously.

The shelter was already completed and occupied when the test was initiated. The visiting star travelers attempted to warn the prevailing authorities that their calculations were incomplete and because of it, that the powered devices on the other planet would cause irreparable damage, if not complete destruction of Maldek. Of course their warnings weren’t heeded and when the devices were turned on, unforeseen things to the makers began to happen.

The channeled energy was incompatible with Maldek’s electromagnetic field and began to create subharmonics that literally tore the planet apart. By the time this happened, though, the shelter was already far enough away that no major damage was done. The material and operation of the sphere, though, absorbed all the planetary fragments with precision, although it was covered with debris from it by the time things were over, leaving what appeared like a natural terrain on a celestial body.

Shelter From The Storm or Planetary Immigration

I’ve added a few things based on information I’ve collected over the years, yet Virgil’s story, like any of legend or myth went on. The story was that this wandering sphere traveled about the solar system, looking for a home. She, as it was termed, journeyed for some time before being granted a home, the Earth. According to the story, the Earth offered asylum to the wandering sphere and its inhabitants. It had found a home. We know it today as the Moon.

The remnants of Maldek were scattered, yet remained in the same orbit. It is now known as the asteroid belt. There has been no explanation for its presence, the asteroid belt, yet it is in a perfect place for what once could indeed have been a planet. The Moon has a particularly odd configuration regarding its stationary position, never rotating and always showing just one side to Earth, as if it were indeed a manufactured sphere with purposeful non-rotation. Why?

I’m unable to quote sources exactly, but for decades I’ve listened to various sources of information about the Moon. There have been reports that it is indeed hollow and that projectiles have been fired into the surface with the indication of a particular ‘ring’ that would indicate it. I’m sure this information would be available is one would search deeply enough. There are also some other indicators as to its habitation.

It was an ongoing discussion amongst conspiratorialists and ufologists for a number of years, but I haven’t heard much lately. There are reports that one of the early missions to the Moon, I believe it was Buzz Aldrin’s leaking that he had been to the edge of the ‘dark side’ and reported seeing silver metallic cylinders standing upright on what appeared to be a rectangular ‘landing pad’ as he called it. I think it is one of those stranger than fiction truths. No proof, though.

Conversations with Dr. Edgar Mitchell

What I did have, though, were several conversations with Dr. Edgar Mitchell some years later. It was in October of 1997 during The Prophets Conference just outside Phoenix, Arizona at a place called Corona Ranch. It was the largest event of its kind in Phoenix to date, perhaps still.

I was hired by the Axiom Group as the event manager, which meant I handled all the logistical stuff on site; acquisition of materials (chairs, booths, generators, speakers tents, native lodges), on-site set-up, security team, traffic cops and volunteers.

It was a pretty large event for the time and topics with over 30 speakers and 120 vendors. The box office numbers put attendance at over 5,000. Response of the nearly 50 volunteers was very complimentary of their experience, the organization of the event’s activities and the enjoyment of the patrons. We also got great feedback from the speakers.

Our ‘green room’ was outdoors and secluded from the crowds. Friday morning I was tending to business and noticed Edgar walk into the area and pull out a pouch of Drum hand rolling tobacco. I believed it to be a wonderful sign as I, too, had a pouch of Drum in my back pocket. I was just hired help as far as everyone was concerned, a nobody in the ‘scene’ for the most part.

I walked up to Edgar and made a very obvious pull from my back pocket so that he would notice the pouch and inquired about ‘sharing smoke.’ Hopefully, he would make a comment that would start a conversation. It worked and he did. He started off by saying he didn’t run into too many people who rolled their own.

I mentioned something about it being a sacred honor to share smoke with him. He chuckled and we launched into a conversation about the use of tobacco in the sacred ceremonies of Native Americans. I’d spent some time on the Hopi reservation and heard their stories about the seven ships with seven sisters who came to them with gifts and taught the Hopi their sacred ways. Two of those gifts were tobacco and blue corn.

The blue corn was to nourish the body as a spiritual temple and tobacco was to take Grandfather Spirit into the body for spiritual renewal, breathing in Grandfather Spirit with prayers and exhaling all discordant energy back into Nature for purging. We talked about the relationship of star people with the Hopi and the origins of the Kachinas for a bit as well, and then I had to leave to take care of some logistics.

Deepening the Delivery and Discourse

We had a few more conversations that deepened in scope regarding consciousness and his fascination with it. He told me of seeing the Earth rise above the horizon on the Moon and how it took his breath away. It was part of what ignited his quest and eventual launch of the Institute for Noetic Sciences. He was fascinated with discoveries in consciousness.

I shared that my junior high school science paper was on the Apollo program and that I’d watched each landing. I told him I also hoped some day I would meet one or several of the astronauts and learn more about their experiences. I’ve been fascinated with space travel since my orange cigar-shaped cloud experiences as a young boy.

By this time we’d had enough cursory conversation to establish comfort and rapport from our mutual interest in consciousness and space. I had also shared some of my experiences with him to correlate and corroborate the similar sensations we had in exploring the unknown, including the orange cigar-shaped cloud and Ruth Montgomery’s book that blew me away. In listening to conversations, the language one uses to describe things beyond our ‘normal’ living is a certain sign of emotional imprinting from such things.

I spoke of my near life-long engagement with ‘intelligences’ I still didn’t quite understand, but knew they were of or from other worlds and even other dimensions. He acknowledged that I was far more involved with things not of this world than most people he’d met. He acknowledged how the ‘universe’ sets things up for people to experience and/or meet to discuss like we were. He opened up even further after the third round.

He began by saying that what he was about to tell me I could not repeat as long as he was alive. If the authorities found out his retirement and potentially his life would be in danger. He was already sharing a lot about his feelings and suppositions about extraterrestrial life, but he hadn’t shared any of his personal experiences about them. I understood his predicament and was excited that he trusted me enough to open up.

He went on to tell me that shortly after they separated from the command module and were on their way to the surface that these silver metallic-looking cylinders began encircling the LEM, spiraling around it. He said it could have just been one, based on his limited view through the LEM window, though it seemed like there were more because of the trajectory changes. He estimated the size at about a meter in diameter and 3 meters in length, though he said they may have been much larger.

There was a ‘story’ running through the ufology grapevine that Buzz and Neil had witnessed similar cylinders standing upright on a rectangular structure just beyond the edge of the dark side of the moon. I don’t remember where I first heard it or who it was from, unfortunately, though Edgar’s experience certainly offered some corroboration.

He thought they were undoubtedly under direct control, and yet he wasn’t sure whether they were piloted on board or controlled from the surface. They were indeed under some direct control, though, and that they had obviously come from the surface of the Moon. They continued to organize around the LEM for some time, but left as they were a few hundred feet above the surface of the Moon. Was this part of a Secret Space Program?

He was confused and perplexed as to who they were and how long they had been on the Moon. It was obvious they had been there for quite some time, he thought. Whether it was thousands or a million of years, he figured it was probably more based on the kind of technology he witnessed compared to where America and the world were in their development.

I ran into Edgar at a few other events years later, but he was always surrounded by groupies. We were able to have short exchanges, though the environments offered no opportunities for personal conversations of any length. I’d had my precious time with the very personable and far-reaching gentleman. His trust being offered was surely something I was not about to violate. A person’s word is all they have in the realms of integrity.

The above Maldek story is perhaps a mix of fact and fiction, or perhaps the truth with the only error being the timeline in which it occurred. Suffice it to say that the events on Maldek could be much older and the mystery of the pyramids at least explained in part. It certainly deserves some inquiry.

Many pyramids are being discovered around the globe now, through use of ground penetrating radar looking for ancient sites and discoveries by explorers, too. In reality, the Egyptians may have only re-purposed existing structures and used their tribute to the Gods as cover up. To believe they actually built them with the technology they had is a stretch at best.

Some Possible or Plausible Postulations

We’ve long been aware of visitors; the procession has been recorded in ancient texts as well as in current literature and now even accounts on the internet in growing numbers. The truth about Earth’s history may be couched in the dreams and visions described by the dreamers and seers. Some of it may even come through modern mediums or trance channelers, but the truth is probably so simple that we’ve completely looked beyond it for millennia.

I am one of those dreamers and visionaries who have been on a quest to know truth, even given my life (literally) to know it without filters or pomp and circumstance. I’m rarely listened to yet some find my postulations to be sound in their logic and understanding of technology, both material and spiritual.

This writing was prompted by a series of dreams in which it was apparent that a message of some kind was being offered and the prompting to share it was obvious in the waking sense of it being imperative to do so.

As I pondered the story, I thought of Edgar and what he had related to me about his journey to the moon. I thought of the obvious secrecy that would be necessary to ensure his well-being, financially and otherwise. Many are kept silent by the threat of loss of their benefits, imprisonment and/or life in some cases. Then I had to look at the obvious – we stopped going to the moon. Why? Were we simply asked not to come back?

It would seem that the natural inclination would be to return to the moon again and again, yet we haven’t. Could some event that happened thousands or even a million years ago be kept a secret? I’d think bits and pieces would come to light over time. There are so many conspiracy theories of this or that malevolent race from space trying to control or manipulate humanity and/or reap resources from Earth somehow. In reality, there doesn’t seem to be any real signs of any of that happening.

In addition to Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s comments about his experience, Paul Hellyer, a retired Canadian Defense Minister, stated some years ago that governments are well aware that there is no threat from space, period. There never was. Still, our fear-based militaristic manor or national security threat assessment does not acknowledge this fact.

In reality, the military budget of the U.S. is the majority of the U.S. economy and millions of lives depend on the jobs and security it offers. The powerful want it to stay that way. It’s good for business and good for the economy.

Let’s just say for a moment that it is possible that the story is true, that the Moon is actually inhabited by the remnants of a civilization hundreds of thousands of years older than ours. No doubt they are the ancestors of many of the Earth’s inhabitants and perhaps are continuing to watch over our evolving global society to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes they did. Surely ancestors would want their progeny to be whole and live well, right?

It would even seem logical that we, as barbarous bullies who can’t play well with others on the planet let alone be open to benevolent interaction with advanced races, would be asked to stay home and not come out to play until such time that we did find a way to get along and take care of our environment first and foremost.

There is research and study, not to mention thousands of those who’ve had contact (perhaps even progeny), who know we need to change our behavior. It is also known that reverse engineered technology is being used against any visitors, where ever they may originate.

The messages that seem to be prevalent from most contactees and even those who are in the limelight, like Whitley Stieber, are that we need to learn to get along and manage our planet better. It is imperative that we take care of our environment and yet the ignorance of the leadership in governments seem to be nonchalantly heading us into oblivion.

We don’t need a civil war or any war for that matter. We need to communicate with each other, build healthy relationships and explore possibilities that can restore our environment, not continue to decimate it.

We are far from being in the shape that Maldek might have faced, yet we do have numerous recently developed technologies and distribution systems that can put benevolent resources into action rather quickly. Many believe we are too late and have too little to offer in order to change the direction our leaders have taken. I would offer something different.

Many have witnessed in their own lives what a change in belief systems, of behavior and consciousness, can do to create change seemingly overnight. I think the same kind of activity adopted by others can result in changing our environment and planetary civilization.

I was truly honored that Edgar decided to share his account of their landing. It brought so many things into perspective for me personally, and in those moments there was a sense of corroboration and continuity of my own awareness. He wasn’t sure why the missions to the moon stopped, but he suspected it was because we weren’t welcome. He was sure the real reason was way above his pay grade, though it still made him wonder about our future cohabitation.

Of the events I shared with Edgar, he found my quest for truth and the ascension into the light and beyond more interesting than his lunar event. It prompted a brief discussion as time was always a luxury at the events, about how consciousness is connected beyond our physical bodies and what little we know about its operation. He was especially curious as to how to bring this awareness into our waking state.

He related the sensation he had in space and imagined it paled in comparison to what I felt in the state of consciousness I had experienced. I was humbled by his comment and yet acknowledged I felt the same of his experience of the epiphany and the fact he was able to do something real with it in founding the Institute for Noetic Sciences.

Postulations and Potentials Amidst the Perturbations

Now I’ve refrained from noting the dream-scape and visionary-type experiences in which the information was presented yet again. I’ve learned not to withhold when I get this kind of prompt. Still, as I wrote this I was curious enough to do a search to see what other information might be ‘out there’ about this topic.

I was disappointed to see that Michael Salla repeated Corey Goode’s account and some others have included this story, only that the nature of Maldek’s destruction was due to some kind of galactic war. Too often this bipolar view just is not correct and a projection of our limited view, no matter how they try and spin it. I find it rather sad that we cannot see an anthropic universe and/or benevolent neighbors.

There are numerous versions that always seem to focus on some kind of command and control issue, so completely human perception, rather than explore a far more plausible one. We seem to think that because we, as humans, haven’t learned how to get along and still engage warfare as a way to resolve (which only repeats) conflicts that the rest of the universe is just like us. In the infancy of planetary civilizations I’m sure that is the case. However, any galactic capacity also contains the ability to harmonize and nurture instead of command and control.

I’m not saying that I have the answers or that what I’m presenting here is the absolute truth. I do not know, yet there is resonance within my perception of it. I found it odd that the topic was present in my awareness now, as my considerations and ponderings lately haven’t included it.

I have, however, been inquiring of how I can personally participate in the sharing of truths that can move us from the imbecilic (command and control) state we’ve been in toward one of harmony (collaboration) of people and planet. I align more with the efforts of Dr. Robert Gilman in his invitation to learn how to be in harmony with self, others and Nature.

The personal experiences and awareness of ‘something more’ that the experiences create still needs a way for us to synthesize and integrate into our natural world or waking state. Heightened awareness leads us to greater attention and intention toward harmony in our environment, our relationships and our society as a whole.

Although brief as well, I recently had the opportunity to share some not so secret information with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove on New Thinking Allowed regarding my book, Stubbing My TOE on Purpose, and the nature of a real New World Order from the perspective of consciousness and how we might initially perceive it into being.

The State of UFO Investigations Today

What do you think about the state of Ufology today?

Does it meet up to your expectations? Sadly, it falls short for nearly every serious investigator. It falls even shorter for experiencers who wish the topics of discussion to be more focused on real interactions.

What has happened to what once seemed to be a burgeoning field of study for and with folks who’ve had some kind of experience or at least witnessed what has often been termed ‘UFOs’?

Some years ago, in a presentation in England, Bob Dean spoke of the fact that ‘they’ are no longer ‘UFOs’ because we know what they are… visitors in various types of interstellar and perhaps interdimensional craft. Paul Hellyer, retired Canadian Defense Minister, speaks openly about his knowledge from his prior position and current relationships.

Banal Banter

So many today banter about the past; opinions and research that have been so trampled they have lost their appeal to serious folks. You might be one of them. Unfortunately, the attraction to the curious has helped to develop an industry that supports speculators and storytellers as much as real information sharing. In the thirty plus years the author has been involved there have been at least three cycles of activity. Stephen Bassett does his best to keep it real as he continues to lobby for disclosure, but is he involved because it is a lifestyle, passion, or a way to earn a living and travel? Dr. Steven Greer continues to speak about his contact techniques and the familiar message he admits to receiving as well, but is he legit or just playing the crowd?

Each cycle starts with some real information, a new breakthrough or personage that suddenly decides to share their story. Then the attention gets distracted to old information that’s rehashed and then on to some sci-fi encounter that has something to do with a conspiracy. Whether it is a government coverup of interaction with aliens or a secret space program, the process repeats about every 10 to 12 years with new people. We’re due for a new spin. We all oppose deceivers, right?

Money for Nothing

What began in 1991 as the International UFO Congress in Tucson, Arizona has become a business venture. It spawned several others over the years, some doing better than others. They all tend to follow the pattern shared above. The better the marketing and/or story, the more intriguing the conspiracy or mystery, numbers flock and those numbers mean dollars. In loose surveys over the last decade or so, real experiencers and serious folk express the need for discussing the non-human intelligences and communication that reveals a common thread toward learning how to live in harmony with natural law and order, like the universe.

Is there a theme to all the communication including crop circles, experiences of sensory input still needing a language to articulate coherently, telepathic and virtual visitations? There doesn’t seem to be any disagreement with the aforementioned ‘message’ about learning to live together. That is, as people getting along, the entire gamut from planet (its elements) to living creatures with and without ‘consciousness’ or what we express as being sentient. It naturally occurs in the evolution of sentient beings, every planetary civilization capable of star travel has learned it.

Who Goes There?

Believe it or not, there are humans who have learned it as well, nearly every one knows of interdimensional as well as interstellar capabilities. They cut through all the Ufology industry stuff, usually by non-engagement, and look for other ways of more ethically-driven ways to gather. The photo to the right is from Jonas Elrod’s experience during a meditation. The image was captured with special photography.

The events around the world today, as off-center as they are, still bring many folks who don’t know where else to find kindred folk. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and maintain anonymity so employment wouldn’t be jeopardized. It’s no wonder folks are reticent to come forward and risk the scrutiny of ‘ufologists,’ let alone the public.

More recently there have been great efforts by an organization that was endorsed by Dr. Edgar Mitchell as one of his final acts to continue his work in consciousness studies. Through their surveys, which are anonymous, over 4,000 participants have shared their personal experiences. Now we’re getting somewhere with FREE information. The data from these surveys is available and getting some attention. Rey Hernandez heads up the organization. Perhaps it will give folks encouragement to speak more publicly, somewhat anonymously. Rey certainly isn’t shy.

The general sense in this ‘free’ population is that things are progressing toward a beneficial end. Statistically over time the perception of events even changes toward the beneficial. It seems that as consciousness develops, the perception of events can drastically change as the experiencer progresses. Long-term contact tends to result in a vastly different understanding, congruent with the theme above. Hopefully the Ufology industry will recognize folks with integrity and take a chance on elevating the conversation.

Cosmic Comedy

In other areas, still cyclical and spiraling up the experience peak, Grant Cameron speaks and writes on the patterns of contact and the style and type associated with each ’round’ of the cycle. Is his research authentic and objective or putting a new spin on old information? Richard Dolan has become an expert in the history and he expresses an intellectual curiosity toward an optimistic quest of intentions and potential interspecie work. Is their research authentic and objective or just putting a new spin on old information?

Although it’s talked about religiously in some circles, the general public doesn’t seem to understand there have been those living among us for millennia. Even those who do admit the possibility or even reality, they don’t engage it any further. I find that suspect, or maybe a bit fearful of revealing their worst fears of prejudice toward others. Are we really learning how to get along or just hide our deceptive separative notions better?

It seems that the world continues to spiral out of control in our efforts to control our path. Many individuals are awakening to an understanding of holistic systems that permeate our lives. If consciousness evolves and the thoughtmosphere expands, what is the critical mass that would begin to right the ship, ‘our’ relationship that is. The ability to manage machinery with a mixture of galvanic response, psychokinesis and telepathy is just one example of understanding universal law and order, using built-in features of our very nature. It is currently way out of our ability to be disciplined to that degree. We like to argue too much.

Conspiracy theories always have an argumentative nature. Debates run high amongst those who believe in them, real or imagined. They take away from the more pressing need for transforming our way of doing business and educating our children on planet Earth. They give us a way to consider and discern, seeking the sensation within that reveals their truth or not. I hear that a lot from the grapevine, the contact underground that Dr. Joseph Burkes has engaged for a couple of decades.

More internet radio hosts are exploring the grapevine, giving us more information to analyze and discern. Randy Maugans and Chris Holly have been doing their own thing for a while with Off Planet Radio. Inception Radio Network has also done a lot toward contributing to the effort, but we have to use our discernment still; the loudest mouths still get too much time. I’m sure there many more. I’ve got to go to work now…
