Subject_ The Third Visitation of Quazgaa Klaatu. Symbol Evocation_ The Earth-Mother as a Tower of Tortoises Supporting the World. Comments_ On December 31, 1988, at 10_37 p.m., while giving a talk on the sidewalk outside 500 Boylston Street in Boston, I was visited by the alien Quazgaa Klaatu, who manifested as body of light. In a photograph taken by Steve Moskowitz, who was attending the New Year’s Eve event, a bright nimbus covers my entire body and my seven chakras. This was the third visitation of Quazgaa Klaatu. The first was on September 13, 1951, in Los Angeles; the second was on January 25, 1967, in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. In both earlier arrivals, Quazgaa Klaatu appeared in a humanoid mode, as a one-meter-high reptilian-featured hermaphrodite who communicated telepathically. On its third arrival, Quazgaa Klaatu communicated with me by making direct contact with my chakra system. I was left with the knowledge of how to 1) link life to death in a continuous experience; 2) utilize the resulting thanatonic energy to travel faster than the speed of light, turn matter into consciousness and back again, alter evolution at will, and exist simultaneously at every moment of time; and 3) move the entire universe into the fifth dimensional realm and say when in history it is possible for this to happen. I also received other information that I could not understand. Since this information was given to me directly but not for me per se, it must be communicated to others who may be better prepared than I to receive it, which is why I was also shown how to make this painting. The Thanaton III is a psychotronic—or mind-matter interactive—device. It is activated by approaching the painting, stretching out your arms, touching the upright hands, and staring into the eye. When you do this, new information will come to you through the active use of the divine proportion, which is the proportion of life connecting to death.
