"What of a world where all can communicate telepathically, as for example, the hypothetical land of Atlantis.
Where would the need for symbols arise from?
Why would a telepathic race ever reduce its understanding to simple and flat lines, curves and dots?" -- posted by Estrella Este (here)
The need to write symbols would arise because telepathy was seen to be on the decline. The following is from another thread, an update by Chris Thomas:
Chris Thomas wrote:In order to make use of the pyramids, specific sound sequences needed to be used in order to generate the required resonance. There were instructions as to how to do this were written out in hieroglyphs. These images were not meant to be literally read, but were designed to trigger a psychic response. In other words, the "student" psychically requested the imprinted hieroglyph to release the information it contained. These are the real "Keys of Enoch".The following is a recording from a channeling session which does contain some interesting information pertaining to how & why these Crystal Skulls were created.
As time went on, we gradually lost the ability to "read" on this psychic level. Teachers were recruited, and a "school" was set up to teach other teachers on how to psychically read these glyphs & release the information that they contained. These teachers came to be known as "Key Keepers", as in the Keys of Enoch, and formed the basis of the much later priesthood. This was the first of that which could be described as "secret knowledge" & later "mystery schools"... only because that which was once known, later became lost or unknown because of our increasing loss of our natural psychic ability.
Over the centuries, this knowledge has been lost and a great number of theories have been forwarded as to the real use to which the pyramids were put - some more viable than others - certainly, no bodies were ever found in the Giza pyramids, so they were never tombs as what is generally taught in our "public 'fools' system" of education.
Rough stone was not the only medium used for storage of information. On Atlantis, many people developed a skill in creating and 'tuning' crystals to record information & knowledge. In South America, the group there decided to use naturally occurring crystals. Thirteen of these information recording crystals were made - these are the well known Crystal Skulls.
The way these were fashioned was by psychic means. In Egypt, those who recorded information, decided to make use of their remembered skill from Atlantis to build a new crystal. This crystal is shaped like a double-terminated quartz and is colored green. This crystal contains the same amount of information as the crystal skulls and is most often remembered by the name of the "Tables of Testimony". This green crystal was stored in one of the chambers formed under the Sphinx.
Around the Tables of Testimony there also grew those who retained the knowledge of how to "read" & extract the information the crystal contained - again this was by psychic means. These Tables of Testimony have played a central role in the formation of secret societies that were brought into being to not only protect, but to disseminate the information the crystal contained."This Crystal Skull channelling is a recovery from an old cassette tape 20 years old. Dates and source uncertain, so its made available for interested parties by AMMACH Founder Joanne Summerscales." -- video published by Miles Johnston
