The subject of Inner Earth, or Hollow Earth is one of my favorite topics of interest. I loved the book
The figure in a pointy hat is J.R.R. Tolkien’s Gandalf. The other winged figure is Carl Jung’s Philemon.
Most people are not aware that there’s a synchronicity between Tolkien’s Redbook that’s called “The Redbook of Westmarch” & Jung’s red book called “The Red Book Liber Novus.”
This is just one of the parallels out of many others. Gandalf is the old wizard from Tolkien’s LOTR Trilogy & Hobbit. Philemon is an old wise man from Carl Jung’s dream/vision. He was very significant character/person/being throughout Jung’s Redbook.
Both Tolkien & Jung said that they didn’t imagine or invent these characters, they have discovered them. I would say both men channeled this information through them.
For Tolkien, his mystical experience lasted for over 20 years. He had vivid visions and lucid dreams. Tolkien translated dead languages. He knew 19 languages some of which are the oldest languages known to us. He had a talent for language, much like the famous music composers had a talent for music. Tolkien was literally hearing an unknown language come through, and it was not just random words but complete mythologies, forgotten histories. Tolkien referred to it as: “elven chatter”
I’m not sure how long was Jung’s experience, but I know that there is a lot of similarity between the two.
Tolkien’s discovery would come in through deep imagination, but not in a sense how we perceive imagination today. I believe Tolkien was able to use his imagination as a doorway, a portal to be able to tap into a universal source of information.
For Jung it was through deep psychology. I also realized that Nikola Tesla was experiencing something similar. Those who have done proper research on Tesla should know that Tesla had some psychic abilities. He had visions & dreams. His inventions would come in a form of a vision or a dream, and with the help of his sharp intuition, creativity and mathematics Tesla would work out his inventions.
Tolkien’s faerie realm was Jung’s deep, collective unconscious. Both Philemon & Gandalf were wise old men who provided guidance, and taught magic

"The Red Book and The Red Book: Jung, Tolkien, and the Convergence of Images"
Beginning in the years leading up to the Great War, both C. G. Jung and J. R. R. Tolkien independently began to undergo profound imaginal experiences. They had each stepped across a threshold and entered into another world, the realm of imagination, the world…

The Red Book and the Red Book: Jung, Tolkien, and the Convergence of Images
To give birth to the ancient in a new time is creation. . . . The task is to give birth to the old in a new time.” – C.G. Jung[1] “Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our …
I want to share a description of one of Tolkien’s visions for people to trying to grasp the remarkable, magical experience Tolkien went through.
To get a fuller sense of the experiential nature of this vision, I will quote at length from Memories, Dreams, Reflections:
It was during Advent of the year 1913—December 12, to be exact—that I resolved upon the decisive step. I was sitting at my desk once more, thinking over my fears. Then I let myself drop. Suddenly it was as though the ground literally gave way beneath my feet, and I plunged down into dark depths. I could not fend off the feeling of panic. But then, abruptly, at not too great a depth, I landed on my feet in a soft, sticky mass. I felt great relief, although I was apparently in complete darkness. After a while my eyes grew accustomed to the gloom, which was rather like a deep twilight. Before me was the entrance to a dark cave, in which stood a dwarf with a leathery skin, as if he were mummified. I squeezed past him through the narrow entrance and waded knee deep through icy water to the other end of the cave where, on a projecting rock, I saw a glowing red crystal. I grasped the stone, lifted it, and discovered a hollow underneath. At first I could make out nothing, but then I saw that there was running water. In it a corpse floated by, a youth with blond hair and a wound in the head. He was followed by a gigantic black scarab and then by a red, newborn sun, rising up out of the depths of the water. Dazzled by the light, I wanted to replace the stone upon the opening, but then a fluid welled out. It was blood. A thick jet of it leaped up, and I felt nauseated. It seemed to me that the blood continued to spurt for an unendurably long time. At last it ceased, and the vision came to an end.

Our pagan ancestors maintained a direct link between them and living nature. They maintained a constant flow of nourishment, information, energy, and matter, not only from nature to humans in terms of food, materials, medicines, etc..,but also from humans back to the plant-world/nature in form of urine, excreta, sweat, blood, sperm, hair, body, etc... Naturally we should have a symbiotic relationship with our local organic environment & ecosystem.
Most, if not all, indigenous pagan ethnic cultures around the world acknowledged this natural, mutual-symbiotic relationship between the world of nature & humans...
Our pagan ancestors made sure to always maintain a connection to their local environment & ecosystem. They were not separated from their natural surroundings like we are today. In nature, naturally all organisms share living matter between one another, and when one organism shares its living matter with another, it does indeed change that other organism...
Our ancestors were attached to their land. They, and their local ecosystem and environment shared DNA and living matter between one another, and in this way they were linked with one another. They weren’t only connected physically to the land and local ecosystem, but also psychologically, spiritually, symbolically, etc...They knew reality, and understood the hidden laws of nature better than we do today...
It blew my mind when I started to realize that our pagan ancestors knew genuine science. They knew real science that covers both the physical and the spiritual side of reality. To me it seems that they did not put a division line between the two like we do today with religion/spirit & science/matter. Our ancestors understood that all living things, and the physical world itself is sacred, and full of spirit. The way I see it, religion misrepresents spirituality, and science misrepresents matter. They are misleading teachers, and this is no accident. It was intentional..
Many pagan cultures practiced ancient ritual by which the farmer & his wife engaged in sexual intercourse right on their garden/farm soil to promote fertility of crops, and knew to keep menstruating females far away from their crops/fields/orchards, etc.., for their menstruations were known to inhibit the growth of the crops/food bearing plants...
Pagan cultures had special rituals and traditions that promoted conception of children on warm part of the year. The time when all organic life reproduces. In case of Slavic/pagan Russia with a very short growing season, it was around a solstice celebration. This was the time when food was in abundance, and the largest amount of plants were blooming. There’s a scientific justification for this ancient rituals and traditions, and it could be found in the latest scientific research on plant/human relationship.
Our ancestors were linked to natural cycles, many of which are unknown to us now. I believe one of the reason why those in power changed our calendar had to do with making us forget about the many cycles that were known in ancient times. The sun was very vital to all pagan people around the world. The sun wasn’t just important because of its physical properties, but also it’s spiritual, non-physical properties.. You can imagine the kind of damage we receive from spending so much time under artificial lighting, and barely going out into the natural sun

Modern people don’t understand that even a small detail such as eating locally and in season matters immensely. This is because people don’t understand the role that bacteria plays in the adaptation to the changing of weather & conditions in the environment, and the strengthening of our immune systems…
Bacteria is everywhere in the soil, on plants & trees, in & on our bodies, and naturally with the organic ecosystem all of this bacteria communicates... Even cells can transmit information from one to another through field-interaction, by infrared transmissions. Humans provide bacteria from our bodies into the local ecosystem that produces food for us with our excrement, urine, bacteria, etc..., which all goes to the environment.
So the bacteria we put into our surrounding environment communicates the current state of our physical being to the bacteria that’s in our local soil, plants & trees that grow food for us...In result, the bacteria inhabiting the soil modifies the chemical composition of the nutrients available to the plants. So this way the plants that grow food for us alter the food that grows in a way that’s required specifically for our bodies, and the bodies of other living beings who eat from same habitat. In other words, the food bearing plants and trees that grow in that specific location will grow custom made food specifically altered for the species that inhabit that specific area, because the bacteria that is on those food bearing plants and trees received information from the bacteria from the living species that inhabit that specific location, and the plants were able to alter the food specifically designed for the local species...
You can now understand what kind of damage we are causing to our bodies, and immune system by consuming foods that come from all over the world and out of season... We are scattered in space & time.
The bananas we consume today come from tropical humid climate somewhere from South America. The cheese we’ll eat tomorrow was produced in a cold dry climate somewhere north Europe. We eat strawberries during wintertime that were produced out of season...
The natural ecosystem gets information through the weather conditions to prepare for whatever season comes next. The plants that grow food receive information and already know what type of season is coming, be it hot, cold, rainy, etc...These plans grow food according to this information. They grow custom made food specifically for that ecosystem/location, climate, and environment, and all of the local species that feed on this food receive the nutrients & vitamins their bodies require to make their immune system strong, and prepare them for the next season...
So when we eat food from different ecosystems, climates & environments instead of eating locally and in season, we are not physically linked to our local, natural ecosystem., we are disconnected from the complex organic system of earth, and we are not living according to hidden laws of nature that were set in place long before humans appeared here...

Dr Leonid Sharashkin says our ancestors understood that naturally, we humans are supposed to be the caretakers here on this planet. If we were in tuned/linked with the organic ecosystem of earth, it would be a mutualistic symbiotic relationship between human beings, and all other species of life on this earth. Today we have a symbiotic relationship with some of the species of life, but it’s definitely not mutualistic, but rather parasitic, and the parasites are us humans. Instead of being the caretakers, we have become the dominators, enslavers, exploiters, destroyers
This video always makes me think of the mystery of spirit dance. All ancient tribes around the world had their own Spirit dance.

Someone found the New Zealand documentary. For some reason I couldn’t find it anywhere. If you’re interested you can learn from this alternative source about the unknown fair skinned, blonde/red-haired people who inhabited New Zealand prior to Maori. It looks like in order to sweep this under the rug they spread stories about the original white inhabitants of New Zealand being some sort of fairy people. Documentary shows that some small size race may have inhabited that land, but there were also regular size white people who inhabited New Zealand at one time. It’s actually a common trick when they cannot explain something they always turned it into some sort of mystery, some unexplainable, unknown anomaly that puzzles them. Maybe some people will not find this interesting, but to me this was useful information. This was just another piece of the puzzle
