In the illustrations above you will see very ancient representations of Spiral symbols. The reader will hopefuly notice that some spirals will wind in a clockwise fashion, while others will wind in a counter-clockwise fashion. From all the imformation that can be gathered, it appears that the spiral is a Universal symbol, and literally depicts a galactic pattern, and truth. In the first illustration on the right, it is very clearly winding in both a counter- clockwise fashion, from the outside in.  The spiral on the left is clearly winding in both a clockwise and counter-clockwise pattern. If taken separately, the intended meaning could go one way or the other. If you have read the section on the Peacock Angel, you will remember that this spiral symbol is acted out in a dance to the Peacock Angel. His effigy is placed in the center, and the dance is conducted in a clockwise fashion slowly working its way toward the center to "join" with center, the Source.

The sacred sciences that man was taught by these "space travellers", and what has come to be known as mankinds creators is well established. It is these things that the Christian religious "zealots" have protected the masses from learning, and the story of Jesus has been ued as a "front" cover fantasy for the literal, factual accounts of mans origins and history.
