The Pathways of Lightland

In ancient Egypt, the earth was alive and home to both terrestrial and extraterrestrial creatures. The latter were described by our ancestors as highly intelligent beings who built temples and organized cities, taught agriculture and husbandry, and established kingships. They were also magicians and taught their charges how to write and some of their other tricks. When troubled conditions caused them to leave, they left behind both instructions and apparatuses for carrying the instructions out so that communications might be maintained during the times of their absences.

Berkeley in 1969, and purchased 140 acres of pristine Redwood forest in Northern California where he would spend his later years as a prolific writer and poet.
