Astrobiology:

As with all philosophies dealing with the principles of universal order we should begin our exploration of Helgi Pjeturss' Nyall Phiolosophy (which indeed has been advancing through the works of scholars in this field) with the beginning of life itself. The theory states that upon the virgin earth, or any "virgin earth", there existed all sorts of DNAs- RNAs- and Proteins which were forming from single cells into polycellulars, thus creating life. Environmental conditions would determine exactly how these cells would react in each circumstance, and would determine exactly how the life form would evolve in its particular area. This explains the concept of regional adaptation in evolutionary theory. It is not that the animals themselves, once fully formed, adapted to their surroundings, the idea is that in order for the life creating cells to evolve to animals which could survive the hardships of earth within a particular climate they had to form, in many different ways, into many different animals with their many different means of survival.

Animals and plants are connected to the greater universe along with what we would call "higher life" (divinity), but surely there are limitations in regards to their reproducing capabilities. When we look for evidence of the above we find that when crocodiles lay their eggs in the sand, the temperature of each egg can determine the sex of each embryo. This is a small glimpse of climactic adaptation.

The next step for life on the earthly scene would be the coming of man, the rising of intelligent life from the earth itself. In the earliest days the earth was basically a world of chaos. It was saturated in the energies of the Helstefna- the line of destruction. Consider the dinosaurs- never believe that it was mainly a meteorite in the carribean that put an end to all of them; their decline had begun long before that event (although this would certainly have been their final ruin). The dinosaurs were an illustration of the Helstefna principle: to eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. With the early humans already on their evolutionary path, formed by earthly elements, there needed to be a giant leap instigated by those already advanced so far that it would be incomprehensible even to us today. Enter the gods, who are biochemical beings, like us (only much further along on the evolutionary path), living in far-advanced worlds.

The ancient stories tell us that the gods came to our world and created the first humans from trees. But did this actually happen or could they have sent us the necessary energies for this evolutionary leap from afar? The answer is both really. The continuous course of biological evolution fits well to our ideas on memory collection (see below), the theory of the energization of chemical processes for becoming biological, etc. The Nyall Philosophy is earth-based, although it stretches itself to heaven- into the infinite stellar universe. The gods tried to energize the earth in many stages, and were present in that sense; how far and how often they have materialized here in the course of evolution and in the course of history is a matter of question- but such visits would not contradict some of our most basic principles.

So let us look now, reviewing some of the above, at what actually took place and continues to take place: once our earth was the home of single compounds, water, minerals, gasses and carbon compounds that developed into more and more complex groupings. Indeed, at this stage there was little obvious telephathy on the scene, which was the entire earth, lit up and warmed by the warm sun. Still more carbon compounds developed and up came the amino acids. There were, however, plenty of reasons in favor of the view that chemical processes could never carry this much further. The top had been reached, the available means exhausted. There was a dead end ahead.

But suddenly a new movement spread around on the surface of our earth and there were DNAs, RNAs and Proteins everywhere, interacting and creating each other incessantly and starting entirely new kinds of processes on a higher plane- which by now has continued all this time since then, probably 4000 million years. The seven miles step from amino acids up to the ultra-large molecules had been taken, and all of a sudden LIFE had entered the scene and, indeed, came to remain on this planet, at least to the present time. But how did it enter? How could the small units unite into these gigantic ever-changing assemblies, which are reciprocally needed for the creation of each of them, namely the large molecules?

In each race of mankind there exists a group of deities who are their divine racial counterpart. Each one ofg these races has what Doctor Pjeturss called "Verundur", the 'Highest Being'; we could probably say that the Verundur of the Teutons is Odin, or perhaps the unknown deity from Voluspa. This being emanates powerful energies throughout the universe. With the many races having a Verundur there are many such emanations out there! From this source, from the energetic origins of the cosmos there are constantly going out waves or rays of such energies persuading the chaotic substance to strive up the road of order and perfection. This implies that: the large molecules are created on a virgin earth out of the amino acids at hand, and suddenly there is a copy of the model in the same place, while the model-molecules are in the bodies of the other gods, who are in the intermediary stage between Verundur and the lower nature. You see that we are never "outside of the physical world" in our considerations of matters that so long have been, regrettably, the delicacy of "other worlders" (ethereal, interdimensional, etc.). In the ancient texts there is mention of Litr Goda - the image of the gods- which is in correlation to this theory. However, we must note that Astrobiological knowledge must be built up independently of religions, but the religious ideas can be reviewed from the astrobiological viewpoint, and understood to have more real contents than the skeptics ever anticipated.

We must conclude that our basic biochemical units are constantly in direct energy exchange with similar units in these far-advanced mankinds (godkinds). More than that: because of the mutual relations of these basic large molecules, they could never have originated without effects from their more energy-laden counterparts in other solar systems. This process if completely natural and "this worldly" and shows our connection to the gods and the universe around us.

The evolutionary principle here, concerning humans, gods and the Verundur is that evolution itself is a never-ending process that is as eternal as the universe itself. Everything is always growing, always expanding, and this has always been so. It is pompous for us humans to consider ourselves to be the pinnacle of biological and even psychological advancement on an evolutionary path we have only been part of for a few hundred thousand years! The older the race, the higher they will be in their advancement, and will continue to be so as long as there is room to grow!

Heraclitus wrote: "Life is a spark from the substance of the stars". In the above context this easily becomes understood and consequent. Pythagoras wrote: "The souls of animals come from the stars." Helgi Pjeturss wrote: "A tiny bit of the lifeless substance (on a virgin earth) is being transformed by the radiation from afar, into a life substance and an astounding road of evolution is being entered upon." And later, in describing the combinations always leading to a more perfect stage than the previous, he wrote: "Then the atoms get, because of the emanations from the origins, interconnected in more and more complicated compounds, until the compounds are raised up to the level called life."

The life or the soul of an individual is thought of as an arrangement of constantly moving particles and the radiation (bio-radiation) is the act of arranging the particles. Thorsteinn Jonsson-Ulfsstodum said: "I think of the life of every individual as a light being lit from a kind of long range light emissions station, which had, by its emissions, built up the lamp that is the receiver." The DNA-RNA-Protein complex is no mere structure, and rather it is in an ever-changing flux of combinations and energy transfers, that can never be repeated exactly, for the molecules are not static. For 4000 millions years ago or so, these differences did little harm. As soon as you are prepared to "repeat the experiment", an evolution has gone its way-life and the universe have learnt new things.

Be assured that cells existed before polycellulars, for some say that life is the evolution of the biosphere around the biosphere in general, but that is equal to saying that the nature of the cell is its participation in the life of the human body. Since cells existed before polycellulars, this is not a viable answer, although considering the biosphere as a life unit is really interesting indeed. The, once we consider thatr the same processes as have been stated above take place on millions of plants similar to ours, we note just how "alive" the universe is. The divine societies, made up of physical, biochemical beings, have life processes, chemical as they are, which display vital processes undreamtof in our realm. These processes create their lower evolved replica in the chemical matter of earth and similar worlds.

Thus the genetics of gods follow the same pattern as those of the human races, and the DNA-RNA-Protein is just the same (the earthly process being a slower replica of the divine). But the physiological coordination is much more perfect in the gods, and therefore their life is so happy. The gods live their happy life, and it was just as some surplus or leavings of their bioenergy that were materialized in the outskirts, in the life of protozoa and other primitive life. The Law of Determinants states that around certain humans there arise kinds of biofields, stronger than the ordinary ones: these are persons who are lucky to be effective in their conduct of life; those are not always the best ones; some thrive quite well "in the dirt of the earth" without goodness. The new 'structures' were subject to miscegenation. The model beings, gods, did their best to repair their genes- but there were others (Helstefna beings) who wanted ugliness and badness rather than beauty or luck. The biofields of gods are always elevated to much higher points, thus both inside their body and better harmonized, yet more independent than we are. Every godkind has its special characteristics, physical as well as mental; and accordingly the human races, being copies of these models,display corresponding characteristics, on their lower stage. This explains why all races of the earth see their divine counterparts as reflections of themselves, or more accurately, vice versa. The more humans are aware of their relations to the gods the better.

The next question may be: but what of the evolutionary processes that continued after the initial formation (through evolutionary and divine energies) in what we know to be homo sapiens man? We have seen that the energy exchange between divinity and humanity continues on a constant basis, and it strengthens once we become aware of it and welcome it. The reason we have not seen much divine activity in this world for some time is because of the prohibitive attitude of so many earthly minds. Think of how you are treated when you enter the door of an unfriendly person. What if that person were to believe that you were non-existant (non-organic)? That attitude, dominant as it has been, among influential people, created a negative biofield (the vital field of energy which flows throughout the universe and helps to organize matter through regenerative processes), and that is what the gods have had to struggle with. Returning to the original question - once the processes from monocells to polycellulars had taken place to form life, different processes of human evolution took place to continue the natural pace each race has in its own capacity. Even today we see signs of evolution when some humans are born without tonsils or appendixes. But real evolution comes from the accomplishments of each race. Some of the reason for each individual racial advancements has to do, not only with the divine energies within each race, but also in the climate they evolved in. The Nordic race evolved in a cold climate where our far-sighted gods and goddesses placed us so we could constantly have to use the gifts they gave us in order to survive. Most of it has to with the powers of the gods who made us, which is why the evolutionary competition in our world corresponds to the divine competition. To do the best is to say our gods are the best!

It is probably that proto-Nordic man may not have looked quite like we do today, but it is doubtful that we would not recognize him/her as one of our ancestors in contrast with the ancestor of another race. Each race is, in effect, a specie which evolved in its own homeland and which could, in theory, given enough time to gestate, through the process of divergent evolution, become so far separated biologically from other races that interracial, or we should say interspecial fertility would become impossible. The reason interspecial fertility is possible today is because, even through when different godkinds, who most likely cannot mix sexually (in the stories when Jotuns and gods mate there is little genetic difference, like that between Celts, Nordics and Baltics. It is between those of the Nordic divine counterparts and those of other races who cannot and will not mix), sent their energies to form different races, the earthly matters were still the same.

The theories of Charles Darwin, though ingenious and deserving of praise for founding many evolutionary concepts, has become outdated, for it has not been able to answer certain questions which have arisen since his publishing of On the Origin of the Species. It describes evolution from a middle point, where life has already come into existence and then begins to form different species. Some of his ideas may have been based on a monotheist upbringing, since his first ambition was to become a minister. I say this because his theories and researched have led many to look for a single origin point for life, for man in particular, like the Adam and Eve of the Bible. The truth is that a single origin (from fish or whatever) is impossible. It's as if saying that the same process from which a child grows into a man is the very one which gave him life, and genetic characteristics without ever putting into place the period of time put into the womb. It is studying the chicken without every looking at the egg. First of all, how could we believe that one specie of animal could ever evolve into another specie, or one genera into another for that matter? Certainly, all life forms through their birth processes and climate adaptations will evolve into different forms of their own specie and genera, but nature will rarely see exact replicas formed through living intelligence that is. Nature is simple too chaotic and moving for that or any concept of linear evolution. This may be possible for some of the lower life forms (plankton, clams, snails, etc) as they are all very similar. However, the more complex the life form the less chance there is for another form to "meet" somewhere on the evolutionary line.

Thus all races have their lowest and highest evolutionary points. Our stories have labeled the lowest "Thrall" , then "Thane", then "Karl", and at the highest point "Kon" or "ubermensch". We have all known thralls-useless individuals who live only for pleasure, and perhaps have met the highly effective Kon. Richard McCulloch best explains the higher man:

"Higher evolution is the supreme destiny which only Northernkind, unique among the hominid races covering the earth, has the potential to achieve. But this destiny can only be reached by following the path of creation. It is not an easy path. Degeneration, the path of anti-creation, of decadence and decline, of surrender and collapse, of low values and lower morals, is always the easiest path to follow, the path of least resistance to which both the weak and the wicked succomb, and attempt to drag everyone else down with them. Generation, the path of pro-creation, of creating oneself by consciously molding, shaping and developing one's bring to achieve one's maximum potential of quality, nobility, excellence, accomplishment, and metaphysically significant existence, and of recreating oneself through the procreation of quality children who will travel ever further along the same path, is a difficult path requiring strength and constant, willful, maximum effort and struggle (regeneration, returning to the path of creation [Lifstefna] after a period of degeneration, is the most difficult path of all). It is something that must be worked for. It can only be achieved internally, from within, not bestowed effortlessly and spontaneously, nor granted externally, from without (No act of true creation is effortless, regardless of certain theological claims to the contrary. Creation on the cosmic level, achieving our present level of existence, required maximum and unrelenting effort over a vast expanse of time. Creation on the individual level, self-creation, requires a proportionate degree of effort and time). Few achieve it. Herd-man does not even try, and resents and fears those who do, for it is beyond his comprehension and appreciation. Those who achieve it become the (ubermensch) of whom Nietzche wrote. If evolution and creation is to ascend to a higher level of existence it is from their ranks that this new and better seed must come. They must have many offspring. Only thus can evolution move in the direction they represent. This is the path of creation. If it is followed it will achieve the triumph of the Northern spirit." - The Ideal and Destiny pg. 421-422.
