Earlier I mentioned the prohibitive attitude of humans towards the gods, thinking them not real, or at the very least not organic (i.e. ethereal in some sense). How such a belief, that the gods are not biochemical beings, originated was from the way in which they visit us. J.G. Bell at CERN developed his famous equations in 1962 that refer to the ability of any part of the universe to be at another place in the same moment of time. Thorstein Gudjonsson coined the term "instantaneous interstellar transfer of energies" (i.i.t.e a rewording of Helgi Pjeturss' Bioinduction theory) which shoes how certain energies can travel across the universe a million times the speed of light. One of the primary concepts of Nyall theory is that a 'velocity' - a connection - surpassing the speed of light by the multi trillion fold, is an innate quality of our universe. Such phenomena explain dreams (as will be shown below), deity visitations and other such visions - like U.F.O.'s, Bigfoot, aliens, etc. Many of these "sightings" are actually lucid dreams (indeed, most are recorded at night), visions, or perhaps may even be materializations; but in any case the same transfer of energy has occurred, only in varying degrees. When a materialization has occurred it is generally quite intentional, as it takes some effort for one to project an image of himself across the cosmos. The idea is that all things have bioradiation - a physical energy, even the lowest of creatures (we know it exists because it can be photographed with Kirlian photography). This bioradiation is the energy which is transferred (part of it anyway) during bioinduction- the ability of an organism to induce its processes in other organisms.

All of the universe is connected by a vital field or biofield (like the morphogenetic fields postulated by Rupert Sheldrake). It is this biofield which connects the universe and allows the bioinduction process to take place, thus bioinduction is what takes place in i.i.t.e. When an entity wishes to project itself to our world it does so through bioinduction and this what we are seeing, in our weaker biofield (like the magnetic fields, some plants have stronger biofields, others, like ours, are weaker - see below), is an energy materialization of the real being living on another planet. To some, seeing such a thing may become mixed with the realm of "spirituality" and "mysticism", many have confused the method of occultists with their subjects of study, which are, indeed, real and worth full attention. All phenomena which have, to date, been labeled "supernatural", "other dimensional", "ethereal", etc. can be explained through Nyall philosophy in natural, scientific terms, never leaving the pattern of this (the only) universe.

Let's give an example of such religious explanations- in most, if not all religions of the world people describe the images of their deities and the afterlife with bright light (near death experiences also claim such things). The Christian faith (following an earlier Roman paradigm) shows saints, angels and their god with halos and bright light surrounding them. Most of the Odinic deities have names which correspond to bright light: Balder: "The Bright", Falr- "The White Browed", Herebeald- "The Bright Warrior"; Freyja: Mardoll- "The One Diffusing a Glimmering in the Sea"; Ullr: "The Glorious"; Odin: Jolnir- "The Bright One", Lodur: "The Fire-Producer"; Heimdallr: Glenr- "The Shining One", Lysir- "The Bright One", Gullintani- "The One With Golden Teeth"; Nat: Ostara-Eostre- "Goddess of the Dawn"; Bleik: "The Shining Maid"; Bjort: "The Bright Maiden"; Svipdag: "He Whose Countenance Shines Like the Day", Svedal: "The Shining Swine", Silfverdal- "The One Who Shines Like Silver"; Idun: Ljomanda Handleggurkona- "The Maiden With Shining Limbs"; Sunna/Sol: "Sun Goddess"; Groa: Sygrutha- "The Bright Maiden Who Grants Victory"; Delling: "Day Spring (Dawn)"; Dagr: "Day".

The reason such descriptions and names are given is because the bioradiations of higher evolved beings are much brighter than ours and so their energy can actually be seen in the form of bright light. Regenerated life (our ancestors in the next life) also has this bright radiation.

Of course, we cannot overlook those times in ancient lore when deities were said top have actually visited our world. All religions mention some form of divine visitation, and such does not contradict the Nyall model. Odin, Hoenir, Lodur, Freyja, Frigga and most notably Heimdall have all visited earth as we know from our lore. It is doubtful that they walked as flesh in Midgard, and turning religion into history (euhemerism) is a foolish and fruitless effort. Religion, just like science, is an attempt to explain universal realities. Religious theories should be no less logical than the scientific. Perhaps the only way a deity could travel on the earth as flesh would be through what I call telepathic auto suggestion (t.a.s.), which is commonly referred to as "possession" but is entirely different.

Before I go into the next aspect of Nyall there is one more aspect of Astrobiology to discuss- that being the evolutionary lines of planets. Most people agree that it is very unlikely that we are alone in the universe, Nyallsinnar ("Believers in the Nyall Philosophy") actually believe that the universe is quite full of intelligent life (and that the universe itself is alive!). Millions upon millions of planets exist with life forms similar to our own. In fact, with the life processes mentioned above it is quite possible that we are in some way related to those on the other planets. The Odinic lore mentions several worlds- Gladheimr, Jormungrundr, Mannheimr, etc. so we can see that there are many godworlds as well, though we Nordics primarily connect to Gladheimr and Jormungrundr because the deities that gave us life originate from them. There are three "lines" or "paths" of evolution that worlds can be on: The aforementioned Helstefna - the lowest, where life is at its most chaotic and dysfunctional, being only a mere caricature of life. Primigene- "First Birth" plants where human life is born (but will move on to regenerate on other worlds after death). This line is constantly struggling between the lower and higher lines. The Lifstefna line is the line of the gods, of the higher life, of ancestors worthy of its glory. It is the path of immense effort and greater reward.

The divine endeavor, on the cosmic scale, is to cure Midgard (Which from our lore is "The Middle Realm", corresponding to "Primigene"; Utgard corresponds to Helstefna, and Asgard to Lifstefna. In Nyall reckoning Nifelheimr, Jotunheimr, Alfheimr, Mannheimr, Gladheimr, etc. are names of particular plants on these evolutionary lines, even if the ancient cosmology does not necessarily reflect this.) worlds completely from Helstefna infestation, so that even here, all life can be beautifully wise, victorious, and will enter the Asgard level. We have to strive for the Lifstefna, to reach for ubermensch, so that we may move on to Lifstefna worlds after we die, and so that one day our descendants will be able to live on a Lifstefna earth. Our primary task is to work for the gods and goddesses to improve access for them to our planet, which means a greater glory for them in the intergalactic community of gods. If our gods win over this planet, for the Lifstefna, from the Helstefna, means that millions of mankinds will appreciate it: "They did it, the Nordic gods!" they will say. Such is the competition between godkinds. In human life, more than previously, the real excesses of Helstefna have come to light, and continue to increase. 'Homo homini lupus'- man is like a wolf to his fellow man. Unfortunately, it goes even further beyond that. Human misfortune shows that, if it was bad in the beginning, it got worse and worse, until it is now approaching crisis levels- which may end with a total collapse. Such an end has come over a great number of primigene mankinds in the universe, as they had ignored the truth and were totally extinguished as their suns exploded (present astronomical theories on the nature of supernovas are incomplete). In the present situation, the course of earthly events is being watched closely, both from the glorious Lifstefna realms and Helstefna horror nests. In some cases- we still don't know how frequent- primigene mankinds, longtime Helstefna dependent, find, in spite of all, their way out of the darkness and enter the grand union. On the other hand our earth is on the brink of collapse now. We are being led towards a new World War. People and nations are being brought, successively, into 'compulsive' situations, where they are 'compelled' to increase hostilities and astrocities. The way out of this is through recogniztion and responsibility: recognition of our cosmic contacts (through dreams, see below) and the responsibility to be prepared to argue one's understanding. It has been prophesied that in the last instance the Lifstefna will win.

There are "afterlife" planets for humans as well, which are to be classified as Lifstefna vs. Helstefna planets. Lifstefna is the true, beautiful, always improving evolution of life; Helstefna the contrast to everything that is good and helpful. The primigene planets, many of them severely affected with the Helstefna, are to be divided into two categories: those which collapse and those which enter the Lifstefna line for continuous progress. You can easily realize that our planet is seriously affected with Helstefna. Every new war means an 'invitation' to Helstefna effects. On the other hand, planets that take up contact with other solar systems, survive; those which persist in Helstefna collapse. The Lifstefna is the path of higher men, regenerated higher life and deities of all kinds. Remember that Lifstefna, though a powerful line, does not hold a monopoly on power or strength; the Helstefna and primigene lines can be quite powerful as well. I say this because it is important for people to understand that Lifstefna is more than just strength. I personally have known people who believed they were working on a "higher path" because they worked hard, studied hard, kept themselves in good health, etc. but were hateful and bitter. The higher man/woman is detached to Helstefna influences, like the eagle who chases away the snake in her nest- not out of hate, but out of love for her children. He/She is compassionate rather than hateful, proactive rather than reactive, kind and noble, but hard when necessary.

Life will evolve; in a person's life their will determines whether they will move down the Helstefna of Lifstefna. Study the life of Loki to understand this better. When a person makes the turn-around from Helstefna to Lifstefna it not only affects them, but also their future generations of offspring. Their children will elevate more and more towards the Asgard level as the generations pass, and their course will be easier with each generation, for they will have had a heart start ("regeneration, returning to the path of creation after a period of degeneration, is the most difficult path of all" said McCulloch).

To understand more clearly the concepts of the three lines of evolution let us look at the origins of the cosmic order- the story of Ginungagap, which is quite possible from a scientific perspective. Once the universe (or part of it) was an infinite mass of chaos (Helstefna) which knew nothing of order until eventually, through a great amount of effort, a "hole" broke through the chaos and thus the Lifstefna was born. Evolution began. It was crude at first, but evolved more and more and expanded further and further out, as it continues to do today. Within it, the Ginungagap, there is a constant struggle between the evolving Lifstefna and the preceding Helstefna forces for the dominance of planets, just as there is between Ginungagap and the Utgard chaos for the dominance of the universe. Ginungagap will continue to expand, and the Lifstefna forces, when destroyed can evolve into higher forms, possibly eventually reaching the Lifstefna, for nature always seeks perfection. This is not always the case. This intergalactic struggle takes place within individual humans, within Midgard communities, nations, continents, planets, solar systems, galaxies, clusters, and so on.
