was excited. He could not explain it himself. It looked like the DVDs should fit. He hastily turned on his laptop and waited till it had started and then placed the first DVD into the drive. Although the technology seemed to come from the future, the DVD worked. He was given several options. Pushing aside his doubts, he started with the first point on the menu, the introduction. He pressed play.
A very handsome man appeared on his screen. However he could have also passed as a woman with his gentle and yet striking facial features. His hair was shoulder-length black, with silver streaks, which however did not make him look old, but rather lent him an august and noble aura. His eyes were gold-colored and radiated harmonic warmth. He had a royal blue gown on, which reached from his neck to his feet, leaving only his golden shoes and his hands visible. An amulet on his breast displayed an eight-pointed star within a spiral. The skin of the man was of a bronze hue. The man smiled, and it seemed as if his whole body laughed. It seemed secondary that he was standing in a large futuristic room with many screens and countless small lights – the room reminded him vaguely of the star ship Enterprise – for the man outshone everything else. A joyous energy took hold of Michael as he saw the man standing there. The camera zoomed in closer toward the man, till only his face was visible. No wrinkle, no blemish, no stubble was visible, only pure shining bronze skin.
“My name is Tai Shiin”, the man began to say in German. His voice was both soft and so energetic, that Michael’s whole body vibrated. “I am a Santinian. We Santinians are at home in the solar system Alpha Centauri and have been taking care of your earth and its inhabitants for over 4000 years. So we have also been taking care of you. Please excuse my direct address, but we Santinians do not know any form of communication other than pure souls to soul communication.”
Astounded, Michael thought, this guy does not need to excuse himself. He was too amazed to even form a coherent thought. This Tai Shiin stood in a large round room, which had an elevated seat in the middle with screens and some holographic elements. This room was completely enveloped in windows, some of which were darkened.
“Before you immediately disregard my words as untrue, I have to tell you, that the following story the story of all stories, is not that which you call science-fiction. For there already are enough fantasy stories and fairy-tales on your Earth. Sadly, you are still lacking the true knowledge of natural laws. You humans are still lacking the knowledge of the true magic of the universe. You are still lacking the knowledge about other star-people that inhabit the endless universe and anti-universe.
Do you truly believe such children’s tales, for example that the star of Bethlehem was a comet which stood in the sky many nights and days and sometimes moved east and sometimes west? Do you truly believe that the prophet Jonas spent three days and nights in the belly of a whale? Not even the smallest child believes this nowadays until it is poisoned by the lies of your theological institutions and wrong historical traditions.
It is not my intention to unsettle you with my words, but they should jolt you into awareness and shed light on your hidden thoughts and feelings, so that a place can be made in you for that, which you are about to see. I want to bring light into your thoughts so that you can explain und decode many riddles of humankinds history by yourself with a little logic. After all, you managed to find these scrolls.” Tai Shiin paused.
Michael paused, feeling confused. He stopped the DVD, for what he needed now was some quiet in his mind. Tai Shiin had mentioned, that he had found the scrolls. If only Susanne were here, she would surely be able to explain everything with her unique farsightedness. And besides, the spiritual world was closer to her than him.
Michael had to smile. He had always been the one who had made fun of her and her esoteric books and what he called spiritual mumbo-jumbo. He had been the one who never took these things she was occupied with seriously. And now he had to admit to himself that he needed her help? Yes, it appeared quite so, for that, which he had experienced a few hours ago at the large rock and that which awaited him now clearly was part of her territory. But since Susanne simply was not here, he would have to manage this somehow himself. He turned the DVD back on.
Now you will see true events in moving pictures, which show original recordings of times past. And this story is about Jesus and Joshua, a friend of his. You knew both of them very well.” Tai Shiin laughed and Michael could hardly catch his breath. “Yes, I know it must sound incredible for you, but we are about 10,000 years ahead of you with our technology. The moving images of this film we recorded with the thousand of cameras which are installed in our space stations. With our technology we are able to read your newspaper although we are many kilometers above you. Various images were spliced together by our specialists and transferred to a medium which, though outdated for us, is familiar to you.
With the help of a telepathic mind-reading device we were also able to record events which from your perspective happened in the invisible realm and convert them into visible images – just as everything really happened back then. At the end of my story you will know what I mean by these words. After all, the whole truth of this friendship had to be told. The circle had to be completed here as well.” Tai Shiin indicated a now, leaving Michael even more confused than before.
Now he was even talking about a spiritual realm. Did he really mean that unknown kingdom, heaven, the dwelling of angels?
“Joshua, the friend of Jesus, was still able to move both his own writings, which he had recorded on papyrus until shortly before his death, as well as the scrolls and possessions of Jesus, into the safely protected hiding place which you have meanwhile become acquainted with. After that we Santinians dematerialized the writings and put them in the metal container – a strong and eternally durable suitcase made of a nearly weightless metal which does not exist on earth – and then re-materialized them underneath the rock, having preserved them with a substance which is yet unknown to humans. We added these memory disks, of which you are currently viewing the first. Normally we are not allowed to interfere in the human wheel of destiny, but in this case we were allowed to make an exception, since the teachings of Jesus were too important than that they should be allowed to become forgotten a second time. In this way Joshua’s life story and especially that of Jesus can live again and tell a wonderful story of friendship.” Tai Shiin paused briefly, as if he was pondering that which he had just said for a moment.
“You are already familiar with my name Tai Shiin. I already see noted on my screen that you will be living in Germany, which was Germania in former times. It seems nearly certainly anchored in your destiny. But do not be shocked. It is as it is and as it should be. Michael, I greet you from soul to soul.”
Michael was startled. How did this Tai Shiin know his name? Tai Shiin had even planned on him reacting in the way he did now, for without Michael stopping the DVD, Tai Shiin paused and only continued many minutes later, after most of his inner turbulence had subsided. Tai Shiin had rocked his world like a snow globe and now the snow was settling back on the ground, so that he had somewhat clearer vision again.
“One of my tasks back then was to conserve these records of Joshua and to secure the entrance of the hiding place, to be certain that the writings would only be able to be found many many years later. Exactly now. And, as you know, exactly you were supposed to find them, Michael. We Santinians have ensured this.” Tai Shiin smiled, as if he knew exactly how Michael was sitting on his bed and could not keep shaking his head in disbelief.
“Joshua had brought amphorae into safety underneath the rock long ago. Those amphorae had served their purpose after a while. They would not have lasted even a thousand years in that environment. Hence this metal suitcase. We Santinians already knew back then that this box should not be allowed to be found before the year 2000 of your calendar, for the ethics of humanity have left much to be desired up until now, but now, there is not much time left. Only now, in this moment as you are reading these lines, has the chance significantly increased that the content of the writings can fall on fertile ground among humans. That is why we earnestly bid you to publish this movie and these lines.” Tai Shiin’s expression became sadder, but still there was no wrinkle, no furrow in his brow, nothing disharmonic to be found in his face.
“The electronic age considerably eases the spread of these true recordings. After all these scrolls must not
