Thanks for all those informations. You give more than i expected. When i was younger, i've once seen an UFO so when i came to this information of Merkabah and vehicle of conscience i knew it could be interresting. Then Few years ago altough i didn't knew nothing about magical things, during a night two angels lead me into a small Ship and we travelled out of earth and into space, first step on the moon, i've seen other humans like me who were there to ''visit'' and an humanoïd being who seems not to be from earth and who looks like an ''instructor''. He gave us some information about the moon and this sphere and we have visited some places around. And then we went to the other planets. I was surprised, we could see a big screen in the ship and there where a lot of information about all that exist and happened in our solar system on different planes. I was so surprised, on this screen the planets of our solar system had different colors other than those we can see on earth. Sometimes i think all this could traveling inside of me and interacting with my own soul and gardian angel and not really extra-terrestrials stuff... Later when i discovered PME i was convinced that it was not only a ''dreaming''. I like much this idea of working with the elements with the merkabah. And i guess i'll do this as soon as i'll mastered the IIH.

To my understanding, everything that came after the initial primal elements of the universe, has been Arti-ficed in some manner or another. Taking some energy, heat it up, hammer it into form, cool it off so that it holds its new form is what its all about.
