DOLPHIN LESSONS, THE HUMAN
SUPERPOD
Dolphins have a lot to teach us but
understanding the lessons needs common ground
between both species. We may in fact have to come
up to their level to grasp those lessons as it’s
been said they’re possibly the smarter of the two.
We know the life of a human from personal
experience and we know the lives of many of the
humans we share the planet with, good, bad, and
somewhere in between. Now we’re going to get to
know the lives of some fellow mammals to find
we’ve underappreciated what it is they have to
teach humanity. Lacking technology, government,
money, or wars, they still manage to thrive in all
the world’s oceans while coexisting with people.
What most do not appreciate about dolphin society
is that there is a dolphin society. It’s that
society we want to focus on because it represents
a real-world analogy that would be helpful in
these times. What has this to do with Ashtar
Command? There are dolphins on Sirius, there are
Sirian dolphins on Hades Base, there are Earth
dolphins on Hades Base who agreed to be a part of
a study on dolphin ascension. Dolphins are not
unique to Earth and may have accompanied those
colonists from Sirius when they were settling
Atlantis. The third dimensional dolphins of Hades
Base have had years of sharing Dolphin Lake with
the higher dimensional dolphins of Sirius and
hybrids between the pods have occurred. In
essence, that is the purpose of the Hades Base
News, to be the source where the sharing of
information from higher dimensional beings with
others working to join them on that dimension can
lead to lifestyles that embrace the best qualities
of both.
A dolphin starts life after twelve
months in the womb and upon birth swim immediately
to the surface to breathe. They nurse from their
mothers for about two years before moving on to
real food and staying close to her for the next
four to eight years. After reaching puberty, they
begin looking for a mate during the two times of
the year when the mating season arrives and have a
calf together generally every one and a half
years. That pair will continue to have calves for
the average thirty years they may possibly live
barring anything that could end their life
prematurely. Those who have swum with dolphins or
seen them swimming along a boat’s bow know how
sociable they can be and that carries on
throughout their individual pods of fifteen to
forty members. Those pods can be split into
smaller groups of male and female pairs, bachelor
groups, and nursery groups for the young dolphins.
They have learned or are learning how to cooperate
and hunt in packs or alone in a variety of
ingenious ways. One is to create a bait ball where
they surround a school of small fish into a
compact ball near the ocean surface. As they get
their fill, so do various birds, sharks, and rays.
They then let the ball disperse and go on their
way. Another is to slap prey with their tail or
beat mud in a circle with their tail where the
fish inside the circle try to jump over the mud
wall making them an easy meal. It’s a dolphin’s
sonar that is the main advantage when hunting or
doing anything else since it provides the dolphin
with such information as something’s size, shape,
direction, distance and so much more. Their series
of clicks sent out can be powerful enough to
affect pregnant women if they are too close as we
saw with Alana having to stay out of the water
until Miranda was born. A pod of dolphins all
working together with every echolocation all
focused on a single objective would be an amazing
thing to be a part of and something that needs
more exploration.
Dolphin research has progressed quite
a bit since naturalists starting cataloging them
in the nineteenth century. Scientists studying
dolphins have determined that individual dolphins
develop a signature whistle uniquely their own
they use to identify themselves in a group to
other dolphins. With megapods reaching upwards of
a thousand individuals, singling just one whistle
out of the rest can be important. Even among the
few close family and associates of the dolphin, it
is crucial to know how to regroup after a hunt or
if a mother gets separated from its young. In a
large hunting pack, many dolphins will call out
their signature whistles as a group to signal
other dolphins to join in the hunt. The larger
herd is then able to protect its members from
sharks and other predators looking to take part in
the feeding. Once a group of bait fish is
surrounded, one by one, single dolphins swim into
the middle to get their fill before joining the
circling pack. The coordination required for that
kind of social behavior is one example of how
dolphins have a lot to teach us about cooperation.
We should also reevaluate any preconceptions about
them as simple mammals who eat fish and do tricks
on command. In their element, dolphins have the
advantage of sound traveling up to five times
faster than it does in air, and with brains close
the same size as humans, they have demonstrated
the ability to grasp abstract concepts while in
captivity. Forty-seven million years of evolution
have led to a species we underestimate at our
peril. Civilizations do not need cities to define
them, they are defined by the civility of the
individuals that make up that civilization.
Do dolphins fall in love, do they
have laws, do dolphins astral travel? There is so
much we don’t know about the species such as how
do each of the thirty-six varieties of dolphins
get along with the other thirty-five? Do they tell
stories, do they share jokes? One look at their
faces and one would assume the latter. What is it
though that makes them the ideal teachers on
ascension? They teach by example such as they have
no wars, riots, or protests. While they do not
have money, they do exchange gifts to their
partners and humans who feed them. They do not
have police but can be strictly protective of
others even not of their race showing a lack of
prejudice. Stories of dolphins helping humans and
other animals abound to the point of saving those
drowning or protecting them from sharks on the
hunt. They can organize effortlessly hundreds of
minds to a single purpose with an absolute focus
on the task at hand. They forgive even when they
have no right to and come in peace in almost every
encounter with people. If ever there was a race
closer to ascension than the human one, dolphins
would be the perfect candidate. All of the above
describes the kind of world Karra has grown up in
as well as life on the base. Even telepathy is a
shared trait between Sirians and dolphins, at
least it is with the dolphins in Dolphin Lake.
That presents the biggest roadblock to most
looking to join a higher dimensional civilization,
the required sharing of minds once ascension has
taken place. For many, such a sharing would mean
giving up the privacy of the mind guaranteed by
the third dimension. How private is a dolphin’s
mind? Who knows but it is certainly free of a wide
variety of the stresses faced by modern society. A
shared stress has to be climate change, one they
also have little ability to do much about and even
less in understanding the changes taking place
around them. The young of both races face major
challenges that will require adaptation to survive
and in that pursuit, dolphins will serve as
teachers and we shall help their race survive to
the best of our abilities. In a perfect, future
world, both races will ascend together as
enlightened
superpods.
