Maldek
According to Ra, what we know as the asteroid belt is the physical remains of a former planet which was home to active first, second, and third densities. There are various names by which this planet has been identified, but in certain quarters of Earth’s history (perhaps some of which have been lost) it had the name of Maldek.
The third-density population of Maldek had a civilization somewhat similar to that of Atlantis in that it gained much technological information and used it without care for the preservation of the planet, following the ways of warfare and service to self which was sincerely believed to be service to others. The escalating devastation wracked Maldek’s biosphere and caused planetary disintegration.
The people of Maldek were so traumatized by this occurrence that they were in what Ra called a “social complex knot, or tangle, of fear” from which none escaped. As time passed, no one could reach or aid them. Eventually, members of the Confederation were able to reach them, untie the knot of fear, and help them to recall that they were conscious.
Finally able to undergo healing and review, the group decided to place upon itself a type of karmic alleviation and restitution. For this purpose, over two billion souls came into incarnation in Earth’s third density in non-human, second-density bipedal physical vehicles—these vehicles being one variety of several types of creatures collectively known as “Bigfoot.” Though it’s not entirely clear, it seems that they retained a third-density consciousness, utilizing the second-density vehicle as a self-imposed limitation. The great majority of these entities have been able to work out the self-imposed limitations and rejoin the normal third density experience.
Author’s Note: Planetary Tangle of Fear
There can be no earthly understanding of an entire society existing unconsciously in the inner planes in a “tangle of fear,” for a time/space equivalent of thousands of our years. The only insight I’ve ever gained into what it might be like came by way of the movie What Dreams May Come. In the film, a woman commits suicide due to being overcome with sorrow at losing her husband in a car accident. This causes her soul to become trapped in the inner planes, consumed by a darkness that causes her to forget that there was something other than pain and limited identity. As I imagine was more-or-less true for those of Maldek, her character is not completely conscious—she is swallowed in a perpetual dream of sorrow, grief, and fear, incessantly looping through various sorrow- and terror-filled scenarios to which her dream self falls constant victim.
In the life-between-life state, her husband, played by Robin Williams, is informed about his wife’s condition and desires to find his wife. Another character in this realm strongly discourages the husband’s desire, indicating that he, too, could become entombed in the same misery and forget who he is. Being the hero of the story, however, he naturally ignores the warnings and attempts (successfully) to untangle her own "knot of fear."
