(Omal discusses the Atlantis incident, the name Ashtar Command has given for the destruction of Atlantis. He explains that the technology they were using got ahead of them much like we see happening today but on a global scale.) 

---

Omal: okay let us proceed with more questions, something a little bit more cheery would be nice.

Russ: in that case you better go Skip.

Skip: okay I have a question about our technology advancing so fast that it doesn't seem like anybody can actually keep up with it.

Omal: ummm......

Skip: and our......let me continue just a minute before you answer.

Omal: okay.

Skip: are we kind of pulling away from our spiritual beliefs with our technology and if we are, it sounds like we're doing the same thing that the continent of Atlantis done way back when?

Omal: you have answered your own question to a certain extent. Yes you are moving ahead in technology faster than you can keep up. With Atlantis, yes that was the root cause of the downfall however, the taking for granted and then the failure, ended up with the Atlantis incident. And that is something that you have to watch very carefully that if you become too blasé and too conceited that technology could fix everything, then you will end up with the Atlantis incident again.

Skip: wow.

Russ: I don't think we've discussed the Atlantis incident before though. I'm not quite familiar with the term.

Omal: it is a term that we use up here to refer to Atlantis going down.

Russ: oh.

Omal: they were quite capable of monitoring and tracking it but they got so reliant on their technology that when the technology failed them, they did not realize the seriousness of the situation that they were in. It is called the Atlantis incident or the Atlantis affect.

Russ: so they could have actually prevented their own destruction.

Omal: yes, by moving locations.

Russ: oh, there was no way to stop the event itself?

Omal: no, when you have that amount of magma rising, there is nothing that you can do about it.

Russ: I see. Concerning Atlantis then, I'm interested in a report I read recently about a certain doctor out of I believe it was Oklahoma or something who was scuba diving the Azores I think it is? And he came across a pyramid and while he was looking for his friends, he got off track and ran into this pyramid, he went inside of it and got this crystal that was inside of this pyramid and came away with it and has reported strange events surrounding it ever since.

Omal: okay first of all, he has not entered the main pyramid. Secondly, from what it sounds like, I am having a difficult time believing what I am hearing. The reason being that the Azores would've been right on the edge of where Atlantis was.

Russ: I could be wrong, like I say, it's been a little while since I read that, like a couple weeks. I'll have to drag it up again.

Omal: that might be advisable. If Treebeard has not fallen into dormancy I would ask him to come over and probe to get a more up-to-date, or a more memory orientated perception that would aid us. Unfortunately, he is very dormant right now.

Russ: no problem but yeah it's rather strange that this all happened because it was just something that was doing research on the Bimimi wall.....

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and I did a whole research on the whole island chain that he got that from and quite interesting.

Omal: in fact, if my recollection is correct, they were islands off the coast of Atlantis.

Russ: Bimimi?

Omal: no, the Azores.

Russ: okay so that would kind of place it in the right area.

Skip: more or less yeah.

Russ: yeah about a mile off the shore. But it's right near....oh, it's right near the trench. There's a big long trench.

Omal: the Mindanao trench?

Russ: I think so.

Omal: or the Atlantic trench?

Omal: it would be the Atlantic trench. I think the Mindanao trench is off of the Pacific.

Russ: that's the Pacific right. Yes this is the Atlantic trench, there is a big long drop off and this is before that drop off. The drop off is like a hundred miles away from this island but this guy found it maybe like a mile or two off the island itself so it was right between them.

Omal: ah, I was thinking that if he was any further out he would be lucky to be alive.

Russ: right.

Skip: yes because he'd go too deep?

Omal: yes.

Russ: I'll do some research for next week though and bring it in.

Omal: please. Okay, you wanted some questions concerning spirituality. Last time we talked you asked some questions concerning where everything was going and you wanted to revisit certain subjects. Unfortunately I do not recall what the subjects were but you said that you would have the information for the session.

Russ: it was early civilizations actually.

Omal: ahh okay, we will go into that when we have more time.

Russ: okay.

Omal: okay, we are running I believe short on time now.

Skip: uh-huh.

Omal: okay we have I believe about 20 minutes left?

Russ: uh-hmm.

Omail: okay so I will depart and live long, prosper and I'll be back.

Skip: thank you Omal.

Russ: farewell Omal.

Laura: good night.

Skip: good night.
