Evidence for Holocene Soma:

As I state in 'Alchemical Diamond bodies,' a set of criteria needs to be in place to establish the falsifiability of a hypothesis. For Soma, these criteria can be segregated into Major and Minor subtypes;

Major criteria;

 - The entity has Black, red or white skin,
 - The entity has Eyes which feature only black, red or white colors,
 - The entity has Hair which is either black, red or white in color, or which changes color from black to red or white,
 - The entity has a seemingly larger head, proportionally, compared to a human,
 - The entity has seemingly larger eyes, proportionally, compared to a human,
 - The entity has a small, defined jaw
 - The entity has incredible physical durability, might and speed,
 - The entity levitates, hovers, or appears or disappears very quickly,
 - The entity glows in a manner that resembles so-called 'Corona Discharge,'

Minor criteria;

 - The human observer notes a feminine shape to any part of the entity,
 - The human observer notes exaggerated sexual characteristics on the entity,
 - The human observer notes that the entity wears anachronistic or strange clothing,
 - The human observer notes that the frame or face of the entity resembles a child's,

Armed with these criteria, let's examine some sightings not covered in 'Alchemical Diamond bodies;'

Case One - The Bird Woman of Da Nang;

In August 1969, around 1:30AM, in Da Nang, Vietnam, a being with a female figure appeared to three US marines, one of which was Earl Morrison - who reported this story in 1972 to Colin and Janet Bord, who published it in 'Alien Animals.'

The "Bird Woman" was described as totally black in color, and her bat-like wings made no sound as they flapped. She glowed with a green color, bright enough to discern that her hair was dark and straight, that her wings were furry, and that her arms seemed to lack bones due to their contortions, but resembled normal arms. Morrison claims a flapping sound was heard when she was flying away, and that a flap of skin connected the arms and the wings.

Case Two: The Witch of Monterrey;

On January 16th, 2004, police officer Leonardo Samaniego saw a woman wearing black clothes fall from a tree, but instead of crashing against the ground she began to hover and gently touched down with her feet.

The woman was wearing a cloak, and covering her face. Samaniego says that her eyes were unusually large and black in color, and that her skin was dark brown. Samaniego claims that the Witch was angered by the headlights, and flew into his windshield in a single second. From this perspective, Samaniego says that it became obvious that the Witch had no eyelids, and had a horrific expression on it's face.

Many other witnesses reported identical sightings around the same time, in the same area. The Witch was reported flying high in the air, and some witnesses claimed to become sick afterwards.

Case Three: The Flatwoods monster;

On September 12th, 1952, around 7:15PM, two brothers - Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer - saw a bright object cross the sky. The boys went to the May residence, and claimed to see a UFO crash in the hills.

Taking several other children, and one 17-year-old National Guardsman, the group went to a farm owned by a family with the surname of Fisher, and saw a glowing ball of light 50ft to their right. A "pungent mist" burned their noses and eyes. Two small lights were then noted to the left of the first, underneath the branches of an oak tree. This revealed the Flatwoods Monster, who uttered a shrieking sound, before first gliding toward the group, and then toward the lights.

The owner of a local newspaper - A. Lee Stewert - returned to the site that same night, and claimed that, "there was a sickening, burnt, metallic odor still prevailing," which was substansiated by local law enforcement. The next morning, Stewert returned to the site, and discovered traces of a thick, black liquid.

The members of this group became sick after the sighting, reporting irritation of the nose, swelling of the throat, vomiting and convulsions. They described the monster as being at least 7ft tall, with a black body and a dark, glowing face. It's head was elongated, shaped like a diamond on it's side, and as having non-human eyes. It had a large, circular cowling behind it's head. It's body was described only as "inhumanly shaped", and covered in a dark, pleated exoskeleton. It's arms were alternately described as "stringy," so fast as to be barely visible, or as completely absent.

Synthesizing the data;

A few features repeat in every one of these reports;

 - #1: Dark or black coloration,
 - #2: Two featured entities dressed in a feminine manner - Da Nang featured an entity with an explicitly feminine figure,
 - #3: Soundless flight,
 - #4: Two feature glowing entities,
 - #5: Two are accompanied by anomalies regarding the arms.

#1: Coloration;

Graphene oxidizes in the presence of oxygen, and in the process turns black. My insistance on red and white coloration is mostly aesthetic - a desire to see my ideals reflected by these beings. Graphene has a brownish-yellow color before oxidation, which may be reflected in The Witch of Monterrey's dark-brown face. A natural white color is predicated on the presence of guanine, and a red color would be imparted by pheomelanin.

I hypothesize that fluorine could be used to shield graphene from oxygen, since graphene oxide is formed by attaching OH, COOH, O and HOOC groups to the edges of the 2D graphene plane. GO begins as yellow, and slowly darkens. Fluorine atoms would attach to these edges, and prevent further oxidation because Fluorine has only one bond arm. Fluorine would however gas off when heated - and graphene muscles would produce prodigious heat - and it would mix with trace oxides from the graphene, as well as ambient oxygen and hydrogen, to form highly reactive Fluorine molecules.

A Soma wouldn't use blood - instead, it would utilize high-pressure gas exchange. The esophagus would have two sphincters - one to close it off from the mouth, and another to close it off from the stomach. The stomach would heat up pressurize, granting access to both high pressure and high temperature chemistry. Countless sphincters and membranes would regulate the exchange of solids, liquids and gases. Fluorine gas from fluorite would be produced by the sulphuric acid in the stomach, and it would flow through gas capillary networks - coating the graphene circulatory system in fluorine - and wind up in the bones, muscles and skin.

There, the circulatory system would cause the fluorine to form grains in the graphene, which would segregate it into seperate electrical domains. These domains would each be penetrated by a conductive graphene wire, which would lead to a peripheral nervous system composed of the same graphene wire. Muscles would control the gates to these domains, and indeed the gates to any particular inclusion body composing the nervous system.

The skin, composed of graphene planes, would take up the fluorine atoms, where they would stay until the graphene was heated. During muscular motion, some of the electricity would vaporize a portion of the fluorine, which would form dioxygen difluoride, or F2O2. F2O2 decomposes into free fluorine and oxygen atoms at -160C, and the ample heat from the muscles would fuel a continuous formation of highly reactive fluoro-oxides. Coincidently, F2O2 is an orangish-red liquid, and the free O2 and F2 would produce flames of the standard red-yellow color as they oxidized around the Soma.

In conclusion, Soma which have used a lot of energy recently would tend to be black in color, while Soma who're well rested would be a pristine white - unless they displayed their natural, transparent-black coloration. A Soma whose metabolism was in max gear may well be surrounded by a ball or pillar of fire, rendering the Soma within obscured to the human eye. As well, Soma may wear invisibility cloaks, and would likely wear clothes composed in part of graphene - such as the black clothes worn by the Witch of Monterrey.

#2: Femininity;

This observation is notable, due to my claim that Gaia resembled an idealized woman. According to my hypothesis, Gaia gave birth to life on Earth, and my writings as well as various religious concepts and artworks represent genetic memory of her. However, I haven't claimed that she gave birth to daughters like herself - but I feel confident enough now to make that claim.

Firstly, let's establish that none of the above reports included what could be called, 'a good look.' That The Witch of Monterrey was called a witch at all speaks volumes, as does the fact that The Witch and The Flatwoods monster were both reported with features which could be interpreted as skirts and headscarves, if not Hijab. Why wear such garments? Either some sort of protective suit is being worn, or the Soma is wearing feminine articles of clothing for modesty.

The "Bird Woman," I think, substantiates my claim that The Witch and The Flatwoods Monster were wearing clothing. Notably, the "Bird Woman" also has anomalies with her arms - the wings and the flap of skin connecting them to the arms may have simply been a misperception of very fast arm movements. The furry appearance of the wings may as well have been a misperception of the arms.

The Witch and The Flatwoods monster were both reported as having frightening faces, with round, lidless eyes. The Witch's face wasn't described as being particularly inhuman save for the solid black eyes, while The Flatwoods Monster was described as having a face shaped like a sideways diamond. The "Bird Woman" wasn't described with any unusual facial features. However, The Witch and Flatwoods may have had the inhumaness of their faces exaggerated, while The Bird Woman's strange face may have not been seen at all, leaving Morrison and his fellows to presume a normalacy which wasn't there.

A single shape of face and head needs to be picked, and stuck with for falsifiability. I suggest that a rightside-up half-diamond would explain every sighting - this allows for the same variation seen in human faces to explain any descrepancies. The face should have two very large eyes, which are covered by eyelids which can completely retract from the entire eyeball, and the eyes should feature very large irises which take up most of the visible eye leaving little white.

Many idealized depictions of the human face would fit the above description, but none of them so well as characters such as Betty Boop, or those depicted in anime. The trend is obvious, appears in other reports besides those mentioned above, and it's striking nature can be grasped by simply looking at figures of these characters. Quite simply, something like this would appear very alien and frightening - especially if it was moving very quickly in poor lighting, surrounding by occulting flame or not illuminated at all, with wide open eyes, dilated pupils and a grimace.

The exact builds of The Witch and Flatwoods aren't known, but the fact that The Witch was called a witch, and Flatwoods is depicted with a high waist from which fell what appeared to be a long length of skirt, tells us that the feminine shape of their bodies inspired their interpretations in terms of female imagery and terminology. Flatwoods resembles one of these figures dressed in traditional, modest European garb - it's depictions often highlight this, as if humanity knew what was under the dress.

The Bird Woman was seen seemingly naked, and was clearly female to Morrison and his fellows. Darkness and bad vision can often obscure someone's sex, and some or all of the strange features I presume The Bird Woman displayed may have been indiscernable. Yet, her femininity was obvious - again, a result of her hypothetically exaggerated sexual characteristics.

#3: Flight;

Graphene ejects electrons if shot with a laser. Two layers in the skin would be involved in this - the outer, laser emitting layer, and the inner, graphene layer. Electrons travel losslessly through graphene - the electron is negatively charged, and so is the graphene. So, the electrons want to leave with a lot of force - 4,250N/cm2. Fluorine can be used to assure that these two layers are a seperate electric domain from the rest of the body, so that out of the inner body, the two layers, and the air - filled with F2 and O2 which want energy to oxidize - the air is the path of least resistance.

The enormous energy means that when in use in an atmosphere, a Soma should sound like any other powerful, concentrated electrical discharge. However, a Soma is likely mostly composed of something like aerographene - it's mass is very low. I estimate a weight of only around 7kg for the average Soma. So, only 7N are required to move the Soma at 1m/s, and only 10N are needed to beat gravity.

#4 & #5: Body Auras and buzzing arms;

An aura of oxidizing fluorine and oxygen, combined with ionizing electrons would accumulate around the Soma. This would cause clouds of gas to form, electrical arcs, and the associated lightshow. Out of all the criteria, this and the black coloration are, I think, the most promising in terms of fitting the sightings. Moreover, this behavior is common to UFO's in general, which supports a more general hypothesis.

As mentioned previously, the odd reports regarding the arms could be explained if they moved at very great speeds. Consider a spinning tire - the faster it turns, the less distinctly you can each spoke. The arms rapidly switch between positions, such that, relative to a human observer, there can be four or more solid limbs between them. At rest - in The Witch - the arms aren't strange enough to be remarked on, save for the presence of claws.

In the Bird Woman, the arms appeared normal but moved abnormally. Her wings, however - reported as fuzzy - could have been these arms in very fast motion. The fact that they were visibly connected to the arms bolsters this interpretation, and it should be remembered that the Bird Woman was reported with her wings in silent motion - not held still, as a gliding bird would - thus preventing a good look at them.

But why are the arms moving so much at all? I can imagine two possibilities; one, they really do function as wings; and two, their movement is involved in pumping the gas which fills the circulatory system. The second hypothesis would explain my strange urge to connect Soma with spiders, as well as explain the means by which the gas is moved - however, an internal pump system could accomplish the same goal.

There's a similarity here to the idols of the Dharmic religions, where such beings as Avalokitesvara and Yamantaka are depicted with two distinct groupings of limbs - the single front set, and a second back set that resembles wings. This connection between Gaia and Buddhism dovetails with the black skin of both the Wisdom Kings and the above entities, and bolsters Jacques Vallee's hypothesis, set forth in 'Confrontations,' that Buddhism and Christianity were both created by what I call the Soma.

Holocene Soma ecology;

But to what end? In 'Alchemical Diamond bodies,' I mention Cybele in reference to the H. P. Lovecraft story, 'The Rats in the Walls.' Her priests were castrated men, and were noted to mourn the death of a man named Attis - the Hijra of India, to this very day, mourn the death of a man named Aravan.

As reported in 'Wonders in the Sky,' Akhenaten was known to have started Atenism after receiving instructions from a shining, golden disk. Akhenaten had himself depicted with the same body shape as his wive, and preposterous explainations have been given to support the notion that he really was built that way. Yet, no one will admit the obvious; he had himself depicted as he imagined himself, not as he really was.

If the Daughters are trying to direct human evolution, where were they trying to direct it with Atenism? Greek religion was practiced in the full light of Egyptian history - indeed, they had literature from Egypt which has not been passed down to us. The Amarna heresy was known in it's full sinful glory to the educated Greeks - the worshippers of Cybele were cognizant that Akhenaten depicted himself as a woman, and that he was in fact male. They certainly would have known about Elagabalus, the Roman emperor who sent across the empire for a surgeon to give him a vagina. Elagabalus also had a male lover, who he referred to as his husband, and he delighted in being called this man's queen.

Why did all three of these sightings include beings with feminine characteristics? The maleness or total inhumanity of other sighted beings could be an artifact of poor-quality observations, or these other beings could represent cultures contemporary to the Daughters. Could the answer be simply that rather than a feminine current, the Daughters, Cybele, Akhenaten, Aten and the Hijra represent a neotenous current?

The female phenotype is closer to the child's phenotype than the male's is, thus meaning that the child shows the future of woman, and woman shows the future of man. That is to say, if the trend of neoteny continues, women will begin to resemble children, and men will begin to resemble women. It's quite strange that this trend began 30,000 years ago, and picked up speed around 10,000 years ago - around the time civilization began. If, as Jacques Vallee suggests, the beings associated with the UFO's have been directing our evolution, they're responsible for this morphological drift as well.

Why would a being want to make humanity more neotenous? The drive for dominance, which would promote the desire for servility, is a larval obsession. Post-larvals may express dominance, but they lack interest in the games that build a social hierarchy - they'd rather render a species feral or extinct than engage in the master-slave game with it.

The answer is to be found in the origin of life - Gaia. Why would she create life? To reproduce. She wants to fill the universe with beings like herself. What would it take to reproduce a Soma? The body may be simple, but the mind is quite a philosophical conundrum - might it take an entire biosphere and 3.8 billion years to produce a Somatic mind? Gaia would start with a rough rock, and like a sculptor, would slowly carve her Daughters out of it. When a hominid comes along, she would begin to tinker to get the final result - a post-larval, human mind in a human-shaped Soma body.

As Gaia is neotenous, so she makes her children neotenous. WSMA scientists have suggested that sexual selection has played a part in human evolution - I suggest that life has evolved to produce something Gaia finds sexually arousing, which isn't synonymous with the current phenotypes found among humanity, but rather something like Betty Boop, an anime character, or a Buddhist or Hindu idol.

The three sightings above represent reports of Soma in the Holocene, just as biogenic graphite is evidence of Soma at the dawn of life.
