Hi all,
I'm attaching my essay on Nagas from 1998.
The next ones are about an encounter with an underworld entity (succubus):

This was an EXCELLENT piece of work. Really top-notch.
I look forward to seeing your other work.
I'm currently working on an article which goes in-depth into
factual accounts of human-nonhuman liaisons and possible
interbreeding, including the succubus/incubus phenomena.

You may find THE DEEP DWELLERS and ECHOES OF THE
WORLD CAULDRON of interest.
Surt has his origins in a region of fire "in the ultimate south,"
which may correspond to the south polar opening. The other
gods and demons of Norse myth have their origins or places in
a variety of locations or realms which are concealed in the north,
surrounding a great "gulf" called Ginnungagap (the inner
hollowness?). "Hel" is a female entity of great hideousness and
power (from whose name the English-Germanic "Hell" was
derived as a translation for the Hebrew "Sheol"), and her
underworld realm of the dead is called Niflheim.... (land of the
Nephilim? My theory, anyway).
There are many clues about the nature of the underworld in the
Ragnarok story and in Norse myth in general. There are also
many parallels with the stories or religious traditions of other
cultures, as you point out. There are direct parallels to some
aspects of Judeo-Christian, Finno-Ugric, and Native American
traditions.
Your stuff is great. The succubus story was very interesting as
well. Would you consider that being to have been a form of
nagini, given the seduction scenario?
Thanks

The Norse Ragnarok involves the destruction of the earth and
the abodes of the
Norse demigods (called Asgard). It is said that during
Ragnarok the world is
destroyed with flames by a being called Surt, who lives
beneath the lower
world (appropriately called Hel) and was involved in the world's
creation. By
comparison, the Bhagavata Purana (3.11.30) states that at the
end of Brahma's
day, "the devastation takes place due to the fire emanating
from the mouth of
Sankarshana." Sankarshana (Ananta Shesha) is a plenary
expansion of Krishna
who is "seated at the bottom of the universe" (Bhagavata
Purana 3.8.3),
beneath the lower planetary systems.
In the Norse lore there can be found more connections to the
Vedic tradition
but they go beyond the present topic.
Joseph H. Cater insists on a thick Martian atmosphere in his book The
Ultimate Reality:
" According to NASA, recent calculations have shown that the Martian
atmosphere has only about one percent the density of the earth's. This
contradicts other findings concerning cloud formations. Dense and very
extensive clouds are often detected on Mars. Pictures of the volcano Olympus
Mons have shown clouds hovering close to the summit of the mountain, which
is supposed to rise 15 miles above the surrounding countryside. It is
claimed that clouds are often found at an elevation of 90,000 feet! This is
much higher than any water vapor and ice clouds found on the earth. The fact
that they move shows that the air is sufficiently dense at such altitudes to
produce winds capable of moving clouds. This indicates that Mars actually
has an atmosphere denser than that of earth.
Another factor that confutes the claim of a thin atmosphere is the
tremendous dust storms that often occur. Some of them dwarf any that have
ever been experienced here on earth. The experts try to surmount this
difficulty by assuming wind velocities of over 300 miles per hour. How
sustained wind velocities of this magnitude could be achieved has never been
made clear. In addition, extensive areas of fine dust necessary to produce
such a condition could not exist in an atmosphere as thin as that which has
been attributed to Mars."
It might be hard to accept, at first glance, the idea that Mars has a
significant atmosphere because the planet is not deemed to have much in the
way of gravity to keep it there. Mr. Cater proposes that an electromagnetic
radiation, emitted by the planets themselves, is the principal force
involved in gravity. Due to the low frequency of the radiation, it is not
easily perceived, certainly not by spacecraft. A researcher with the
Marshall Spaceflight Center, Rick Chappell, points out why NASA
instrumentation wouldn't pick up on such a low frequency radiation, neither
from Mars, nor from the Earth. He makes these comments in relation to a
satellite called the RIMS:
" RIMS also could not measure the lowest energy ions which would help
confirm that the source was the ionosphere and not the solar wind.
It turns out that all spacecraft develop an electrical charge. For high
altitude satellites, exposure to sunlight and the passage through plasmas
give a satellite a charge of about 5 to 10 eV. A small cloud of ions, a
plasma sheath, builds around the spacecraft and repels anything with lower
energy.
"We needed a device to neutralize that plasma sheath," Chappell said.
"Unless you can do that, you won't ever see those particles."
Rick Chappell: http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast09dec97_3.htm
So in spite of the fact that NASA hasn't provided us with parameters long
these lines I'm hoping most of you will look beyond conventional information
and conceive of Mars as a planet with a thick atmosphere and the gravity to
hold it down.

The book Etidorhpa descibes different realms deep within the strata of the
Earth and does directly allude to others. Here is an account of the Chinese
cave heavens from Mysteries of the Sacred Universe, by Dr. Richard L.
Thompson: http://www.vnn.org/world/WD0011/WD14-6424.html
" If we turn to Chinese folklore, ... we find a time lapse of hundreds of
years. There is a book entitled " The Report Concerning the Cave Heavens and
Lands of Happiness in Famous Mountains," by Tu Kuang-t'ing, who lived from
850 to 933 A.D. This book lists ten 'cave heavens 'and thirty-six 'small
cave heavens' that were supposed to exist beneath the mountains in China.
Here are the reported experiences of a man who entered a passageway leading
to one of these cave heavens:
After walking ten miles, he suddenly found himself in a beautiful land '
with
a clear blue sky, shining pinkish clouds, fragrant flowers, densely growing
willows, towers the color of cinnabar, pavilions of red jade, and far flung
palaces.' He was met by a group of lovely, seductive women, who brought him
to a house of jasper, and played him beautiful music while he drank ' a
ruby-red drink and a jade-colored juice.' Just as he felt the urge to let
himself be seduced, he remembered his family and returned to the
passaageway. Led by a strange light that danced before him, he walked back
through the cave to the outer world; but when he reached his home village,
he did not recognize anyone he saw, and when he arrived at his house, he met
his own descendents of nine generations hence. They told him that one of
their ancestors had disappeared into a cavern three hundred years before and
had never been seen again.'

Mike Maloney,
Any news on the Purana research?
