       -- CHAPTER 2: COSMIC HISTORY -----------------------------------------
       
       We have come down through a long series of universes.  All of the m
       advanced sources  seem to be aware  of this, most notably  the Tibe
       scriptures and L.  Ron Hubbard's investigations of  1952.  However,
       one  has ever  provided  a  detailed description  of  the sequence 
       characteristics of these  universes.  If we have indeed  fallen fro
       godlike state, then the universes  themselves must follow some sort
       a dwindling progression and the  mechanics of that decay must refle
       on the whole, how we have come to be in the state that we are in.
       
       This  document will  attempt  to  sketch out  the  broad outlines  
       provide a  context which will  hopefully support further  research.
       cannot  guarantee  that all  the  information  given here  is  exac
       correct.  The best I can do is to say that I think it comes reasona
       close.  But  of one  thing I am  certain, the picture  can be  no l
       complex than that presented here.  If I  have erred, it is on the s
       of missing  things rather than  putting too much there.   Nothing l
       would serve to explain the degree to which we have fallen.
       
       Before  embarking  on an  actual  discussion  of  the history,  it 
       important to define my usage of the word "universe" because it is u
       in many sloppy ways in the field of metaphysics.
       
       By universe, I mean a complete system of space and time.  And for t
       discussion, I  mean specifically those large  agreed-upon universes
       which we all have lived.
       
       There is not  a one-to-one mapping between the points  in space wit
       one universe and those in another.   A universe can have more than 
       3  dimensional plane  and can  also  have other  3 dimensional  spa
       (bubbles or pockets) tied to it.   These are all considered to be p
       of the same universe because there is a mapping of points and there
       a correspondence of  time and there is a carry  over of physical la
       But truly  separate universes do not  tie together in a  direct man
       and do  not have  identical laws.   Note that  you can  setup trans
       points  between separate  universes,  but these  are arbitrary  poi
       linked together without any correlation.
       
       The current universe  is one of very strict physical  laws and is b
       characterized as a  highly mechanical MEST (Matter / Energy  / Spac
       Time) oriented  creation.  The immediately preceding  universe was 
       of Magic  where physical laws  were not quite  as solid.  Just  as 
       literature of science fiction hints at  the flavor of our life in t
       universe, the literature  of fantasy hints at the nature  of the Ma
       universe.  But even  the magic universe was quite  physical and hig
       structured  in  its own  context.   As  we  work backwards  from  t
       universe, we see that each  preceding universe was slightly less so
       and more conducive  to thought until we reach the  earliest ones wh
       the Thetan  (Spirit / that  which thinks)  is senior and  the physi
       aspects are trivial things that can be modified by the merest whim.
       
       Let  us now  go all  the way  back and  set the  stage for  the ent
       procession of universes.
