I CONTACTED AN UNKNOWN RACE
by Richard S. Shaver and Ray Palmer
Originally presented in Mystic #12, October 1955

“In ancient times, the four ‘cardinal points’ of the compass were East, West, North and South, just as they are today; with two distinctions. The Earth was pictured as a flat disk, divided in half by a line. The hemisphere on one side was called North, the other South. East was down and west was straight up. This mythological belief has always been ignored by the learned, but it did exist. Adam and Eve were cast from the Garden of Eden, which does not exist on the surface of the Earth (that is why it cannot be found!), to the east. The only way back to it was a westward or upward direction! Is there any conformation of this? Yes! In the Lost Books of the Bible, in the Book of Adam and Eve, it tells of Adam’s many trips to the top of the highest mountain, where he stared longingly up into Eden (still 18 cubits out of reach), to which he so wished to return. Today when we die we still ‘go west’!”
