Connor: Hello again, Michael!
Petra and I would like to continue exploring the history of our Sentience as it existed in the Sirius System. Last time, we explored the Culling which nearly destroyed our species, so today we are going to move the story forward to after the Caretakers successfully extracted Human survivors from the Sirius System.
During the Culling, the war between Caretakers and Pleiadians came to a head when the Caretakers, working with a number of Pleiadian Allies, arranged for several thousand Human survivors to be smuggled onto a fleet of starships. Battle broke out when the Pleiadians attacked the Caretakers after discovering the rescue operation, but the Sanctuary Fleet managed to launch anyway.
Here is one thing you have said to me about the transfer to Earth: “MEntity: The transfer to Earth is difficult to describe in terms of years, but an equivalent might be 30 Earth years. This was not because of distance, but because life was not stable enough for transfer for that long, and there were hostile forces that also needed to be evaded so that there would be no sabotage. It was assumed by hostile forces that the transfer was a failure.“
When describing my Essence’s brief fourth lifetime, you said, “MEntity: Your next life was born on board during transportation and was disoriented the entire time of its short life. This stress was too much and this generated mental and physical complications that were unexpected. Many of the infants born during transport experienced similar disorientation and demise. This was quite painful for the Caretakers as their empathy already carried the distress of the events. The children who died helped create a broad bank of DNA and other samples that would later be quite helpful in stabilizing the transition in species.”
@Jeroen has a past life who survived the Culling and was rescued, and when he asked if this lifetime lived long enough to experience Earth, you said, “MEntity: No. Not that we can see. "You" were part of the educational program that was in effect for many years before arrival, but you did not live long enough for the great transition.”
Question ONE: What was day-to-day life like for the Caretakers and Human survivors who lived aboard the Sanctuary Fleet during these 30 years in space? For example, can you elaborate on the educational program for Humans which you referenced in the quoted material about Jeroen’s past life?
Question TWO: How did people aboard the Sanctuary Fleet (Caretakers, Humans, etc) have fun during this very difficult time? There is no way they could have remained sane for 30 years without taking some time to have a little fun.
Question THREE: This part of the origins story kind of reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. In the quoted material about my fourth lifetime, you confirmed there were hostile forces, presumably Pleiadians, which the Sanctuary Fleet needed to evade during those 30 years in order to avoid sabotage. Can you elaborate?
Question FOUR: You’ve described how many of the Human survivors allowed Walk-Ins from their Essence Twins, and you also said Essence Twins shared bodies. Was this process unfolding during the 30 years in outer space, and can you comment on what it was like?
MEntity:
In response to ONE: Day-to-day was focused primarily on four elements: Defenses (continuing monitoring for threats and navigating evasively); Study/Research (several programs in effect that were focused not only on Humans but Caretakers and other Sentient species); Teaching (intersectional research programs that would teach each other what was being learned, and the programs for teaching Humans); and Recreation/Wellness (it was vital to keep spirits and morale up by creating as much engagement and interactivity and relaxation and as possible).
The educational programs for Humans were focused mostly on developing skill sets with tools familiar to Earth.
This meant focus on building, creative problem solving with created tools, and team/cooperative building.
In Jeroen's life, the study had a focus on creating containment for storage and carrying of water. This practical focus on pottery branched into sculpting and elaborately creative containers.
In response to TWO: This was covered by the Recreation pillar that is vital to long term space travel. It is quite common and standard because you are correct that without it the passengers and crew suffer. There were several sports teams related to intellectual, emotional, and physical sports for friendly competitions. There were arts and crafts for helping bring personalization to quarters. There were plants of various species to adopt. Hide and Seek was a popular game that would include tickling as part of being caught. There were flying simulations that allowed for long flights over various virtual landscapes. The range of recreation is quite comprehensive.
Connor: LOL the hide and seek with tickling is ADORABLE.
MEntity:
In response to THREE: A fleet of Pleiadians took to space to track and intercept the Caretakers to disrupt the transfer. Caretakers had planned ahead for such a scenario and had developed technologies that are now quite common but was new at the time. Their ship was "cloaked" in a way that made evasion much easier, though they were still detectable. To get to Earth and enter its atmosphere would require "de-cloaking" and this could not be risked until it was known that all search for their vessel was cancelled.
The 30 years was not entirely spent in evasion. That was approximately 3 years of high distress and then another 2 monitoring for confirmation of cancelled search. The rest of the time was focused on study, research, and preparation for transfer.
NOTE FROM CONNOR: In their response to Question 3, some of Michael's word choices make it seem like there was only one Caretaker ship, but there were actually multiple ships in the Sanctuary Fleet. See the update below. I'll chalk this one up to a very minor channeling blip.
MEntity:
In response to FOUR: In some cases, yes, but most of the walk-ins were closer to transfer. It is not common, but it can happen that Essences share a body. This happens at least once for Essence Twins and tends to be in the Infant Soul lives.
The experience is not much different from being a single Essence in a body. The body and its Personality are a single unit that exists as its own thing. Essence works with and through the Personality. It is not as if the Personality behaves in ways that reveal multiple personalities. There is only one. Essences tend to take turns regarding being present through the body while the other acts as a guide.
On the outside, it is not very noticeable. Internally, however, Essence plays a role in how the world looks to the individual, so the shift between Essence can also, literally, change how the world look.
This can be disorienting, but adaptable.
We think we have covered your questions and Troy is losing focus. Good day to each of you. Goodbye, for now.
Connor: Thank you, Troy and Michael!
PetraB: Thank You so much Michael & Troy!!!

Connor: Hello again, Michael.
Recently, we explored the story of the interval between leaving Sirius and arriving at Earth, when Caretakers and Human survivors spent about 30 years living on starships. We usually always focus on the “Bigfoot” Caretakers for convenience, but there would have been other species involved.
In a different exchange, Jeroen asked you if the ships of the Sanctuary Fleet (which brought Human survivors of the Culling to Earth for the first time) belonged to the Caretakers, to which you replied, “MEntity: Though everything was coordinated and managed by the caretaker species, these particular ships were of a different species.”
Question ONE: How many ships were in the Sanctuary Fleet, and whose ships were they? Which species? The species who owned those ships deserves some credit.
Question TWO: How many years did the Culling last?
Question THREE: When talking to Geraldine about her past life who was separated from her mother and who survived the trip from Sirius to Earth, you said, “MEntity: By the time your body reached the atmosphere of Earth, most of our species was either in captivity, or dead.”
Can you expand on what you said to Geraldine about most of our species being “IN CAPTIVITY (or dead)” by the time she reached Earth? It sounds like there were some Humans who survived the Culling but never made it aboard the Sanctuary Fleet.
MEntity:
In response to ONE: 3 primary ships where most were housed and 5 secondary ships for scouting, resources, etc. These ships were provided by a species who upheld neutrality and neutral territory for discussions and debates, a humanoid species that was well-known, but rarely engaged in the affairs or social lives of other planets.
Though they upheld neutrality and neutral territory, they also knew what was "the right thing to do" when actions were necessary.
We may have referenced this species as being fairly "Nordic" in appearances. There are a couple of species who appear similar, but this will do for now.
In response to TWO: it lasted what would be something equivalent to 20 years.
In response to THREE: Those in captivity were few, but ranged between the captivity by Pleiadians or among those who had no choice but to hide us.
Because of restrictions and conditions that were not favorable, these individuals would not procreate. They were of the last in Sirius system.
We must conclude here for today, Connor. Good day to you. Goodbye, for now.
Connor: Thank you, Michael and Troy! Excellent work!
************
A huge Thank You to @petra for sponsoring today's exploration into this fascinating chapter of our history! This has been a really fun project, and I would also call it a resounding success. We do not have anything else planned for this mini-series, but the larger Origins Project will continue, and there are still parts of this mini-series which will likely receive followup later. Thank you for reading, to all who take interest in this story.
I've wanted to take a closer look at this topic for quite some time. I think my favorite part was definitely the exploration of how recreation and play was experienced aboard the Sanctuary Fleet, particularly the reference to tickling. I probably wasn't tickled myself, due to the unfortunately short duration of my life aboard one of those ships, but some of you probably were. It might be interesting later to take a closer look at the "sports teams" Michael mentioned, to get a sense for what kind of sports the Sirians played. Michael also basically confirmed that the ships had some sort of "holo-deck."
In Our Origins, while writing the chapter about the Culling, I said, "If you were a Young or Baby Soul Pleiadian leader seeking to extinguish Humanity from existence, angered by the gall of these snowflake Caretakers who trashed your laws and caused so much disorder, would you not scramble ships to pursue and destroy that escaping Sanctuary Fleet? If you want to save face and keep your leadership position, you should probably do something, because those Caretakers just made a spectacular fool of you in front of everyone. We don’t yet know from Michael if a pursuit was launched, but we do know the Sanctuary Fleet needed to hide for a while."
Well, now we know the Pleiadians did indeed send a fleet to pursue the Caretakers after the rescue was implemented. Like I said, this reminds me a lot of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica TV series. In Battlestar Galactica, Humanity is destroyed by the Cylons, forcing the final remnant of Humanity, roughly 40,000 survivors, to escape the destruction aboard a ragtag fleet of starships. The show literally begins with this fleet running for its life. Pursued by Cylon ships, the Human survivors' fleet is forced to make a faster-than-light jump every 33 minutes to keep ahead of the pursuing Cylons, and this goes on for a while until the Humans can figure out how they are being tracked. Then things stabilize a bit, but the Cylons continue to pursue the Human survivors for the entire show.
I really think the creators of Battlestar Galactica were remembering this time period. For those of you who have watched the show, I'm sure you will agree, based on this, and based also on how Battlestar Galactica ends. It's not even subtle. In a broad-strokes sort of way, the overall arc of Battlestar Galactica is essentially the same fracking story. SO SAY WE ALL!
That said, it seems that the Pleiadians' pursuit of the Caretakers was a bit less dramatic than what we see in Battlestar Galactica. It was not exactly a chase, because Pleiadians did not know where the Caretakers were, but the Caretakers nevertheless needed to scramble to keep away from the Pleiadians. If the Sanctuary Fleet's location was discovered, that probably would have been Game Over. Anyone who has ever played Marco/Polo in a swimming pool can easily understand what was happening here - Pleiadians were 'blindfolded' and feeling around the swimming pool for their prey, while Caretakers (without blindfolds) navigated around that, swimming away as quietly as possible whenever a Pleiadian came too close.
Lastly, the material about Walk-Ins and Essence Twins sharing a body was fascinating, particularly this part: "MEntity: Internally, however, Essence plays a role in how the world looks to the individual, so the shift between Essence can also, literally, change how the world look." I think this quote from Michael could probably become its own topic of exploration. Who knows? It might partially explain why some of my friends often look at the same object and argue over what color it is despite not being colorblind.
