of the physical medium itself, may also have been involved in the manipulation of consciousness, and sacrifice was somehow a means to this end, though in ways we have yet to examine.
     
6) Medium Manipulation, Consciousness Manipulation, the Topological Metaphor, and the Implications: We saw also that contained within certain ancient cosmologies and texts was a “topological metaphor” that led to a primary initial “differentiation” creating a primordial “masculine-adrogynous” trinitarian or triadic structure — as in the metaphor of Vishnu’s tripartite manifestation — of two differentiated regions in the physical medium, plus their common shared surface. This led to the view that the physical medium, in the ancient view, was a transmutative medium that created information, information that was analogical in its structure due to the fact that all differentiations derived from their common substrate. This “analogical structure” and metaphor suggests that on the ancient view there was a common understanding both of the physical medium and of consciousness, and a deep physics underlying the two.
     
    In the coming chapters, we will attempt to unfold this deep relationship and its relationship to the Grid system and some of its monuments, with a view to further understanding of their, and its, possible designed purpose and function. In the course of this examination, we will have occasion to briefly suggest the possible reasons for human sacrifices, originating in a perverted understanding of the physical medium and its relationship to consciousness.

    2 It is important to understand what is being said here. The lithium-7 explanation for the anomalous yields of the Castle Bravo test do make sense, but possibly do not account for all the anomalous yield. The mere fact that the reaction was known prior to the test makes it unlikely that such an obvious component of fusion reactions was overlooked by American nuclear engineers. The exchange between Drs. Balseiro and Richter in Argentina, in other words, cast an aura of suspicion over the official Castle Bravo explanation.

    “Then they tell how Quetzlcoatl departed. It was when he refused to obey the sorcerers about making the human payment, about sacrificing humans. Then the sorcerers deliberated among themselves, they whose names were Tezcatlipoca, Ihuimetcatl, and Toltecatl. They said, ‘He must leave his city. We shall live there.’”

“Their ancient day was not a great one,these ancient people only wanted conflict, their ancient names are not really divine, but fearful is the ancient evil of their faces.” The Popol Vuh 1
    H aving gone in the previous chapter from a survey of technological anomalies to a survey of the mythological and cultural contexts surrounding them, we now reverse the process, and go from the mythological context to the technological, to see if perhaps we can begin to peel back the layers of both to an understanding of the mysterious forces that people were trying to manipulate with them. Accordingly, we shall focus here upon three sites — Tikal, Chichen Itza, and Teotihuacan — and one mythology, the Mayan ?Popol Vuh .
