Introduction

Also known as the Cyclopeans, Titans, First Ones, Preservers, Ancients and Ancient Ones.

There exist beings in the Universe that are far, far older than the races of Earth, the Confederation or the Orion Group. The oldest of the old are the Antiquus. They were the First Ones, the titans who rode the Starways between worlds, colonizing thousands of planets in the galaxy.

They studied and searched the universe for the secrets to the Law of Foreverness, which would bring them into the timeless state that would allow them to reach a place where they could not only create by mere thought, but allow them to escape the chains of this Universe altogether, and no longer be bound to the stars and planetary systems of the Seven Densities.

A billion years ago, they came across a young world out on the edge of the spiral arm of the great Andronover nebula, a world just entering the second density of existence. Here, they established their last colony on the small world of Terra Atlantica, building their great cities of polished, glass-like obsidian in the newly-formed mountains.

Unbothered by their progeny they had seeded across millions of worlds, it was at this lonely outpost on the edge of explored creation they called together their scholars from across the galaxy to come to this outpost with all the knowledge they have gathered for their quest, and finally discovered the secret of Timelessness--the Law of Foreverness.

With this secret in hand, the Antiquus were able to transcend space and time, to go beyond the Seven Densities into an entirely unexplored domain beyond the known. As a last act, they gathered all the knowledge they had collected over untold millennia and place a record in a great, crystalline hall, an obsidian pyramid to serve as an Archive for those who may follow them in the distant future. They gathered their race together, and departed this universe for the Theta Universe. But a few stayed behind, to care for their last outpost for a while, to ensure their Archive survived, and to leave this one, last beacon for any straggler Antiquus that may not have yet returned from their exploration of the galaxies.

But the Archive was not their only legacy. The mere presence of these great thinkers on this second-density world influenced the evolving life forms, so eventually another race of Antiquus would emerge from millions of years of genetic evolution.

Those remaining, and those of the other races from nearby star systems, in remembering their ascension spoke of it as making a “Ninety-degree Phase Shift” to this Universe, like the shape of an “L”. Because of this path they took, the ascended Antiquus became known as the L-Race, or Els.

The symbol for the ascended Els became the “L”, placed in the four quadrants of a unifying circle, showing how they left this Octave for the next.

Life continued to evolve over the the millions of years after the ascension of the Els from Terra, eventually resulting in a promising ape-man. The Creative Force of the Law of One acted upon the mind/body complexes of the more advanced ape men some 10 million years ago, bringing to them the spirit complex, and creating the beginnings of a “next generation” of Els--the Sons and Daughters of the Creative Force of the Law of One--the El-derived or Elder Race.
