encrypted as a series of hexagrams from the ancient divinatory classic, the <i>I Ching<\/i>.\u00a0 The length of the message and its repeated themes creates a highly condensed language permitting an intelligible and congruent interpretation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Background<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In December, 1980, one of the best-documented cases of UFO contact occurred in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rendlesham_Forest_incident\" target=\"_blank\">Rendlesham Forrest<\/a>, England, adjacent to Woodbridge Air Force Base.\u00a0\u00a0 Among the first on the scene was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therendleshamforestincident.com\/Sgt_8ORX.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sgt Jim Penniston<\/a>, who claims to have made drawings of the craft and actually touched it\u2014at which point, a light emanated from the craft around his hand.\u00a0 Later, when he returned to his lodging, he reviewed the drawings in his notebook and spontaneously began writing out a long series of zeros and ones.\u00a0 It was in 1994 that he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufo-blogger.com\/2011\/02\/rendlesham-forest-binary-code.html\" target=\"_blank\">recalled under hypnosis<\/a> having written the binary code the evening of the incident and in 2010 that he made the contents of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=penniston+binary+code&amp;rlz=1C1CHFA_enUS494US502&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=t-SDUeKvEsqDjALq44GgAw&amp;ved=0CF4QsAQ&amp;biw=1491&amp;bih=870\" target=\"_blank\">first five of those pages public<\/a>.\u00a0 There have been efforts to decipher the code using ASCII, which has produced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufoeyes.com\/2011\/01\/04\/get-the-rendlesham-ufo-binary-code-here\/\" target=\"_blank\">interesting results<\/a> by translating the binary code into numbers and English letters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the 17<sup>th<\/sup> Century, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz\" target=\"_blank\">Leibnitz<\/a> recognized the I Ching as a preexisting version of the very binary code he was in the process of discovering.\u00a0 This was in relation to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shao_Yong\" target=\"_blank\">Shao Yung<\/a> arrangement of hexagrams he was sent by the missionary Bouvet.\u00a0 The <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/I_Ching\" target=\"_blank\">I Ching<\/a>, a set of 64 symbols that arose in mythological time, has no known predecessor or originator.\u00a0 It appears full-blown, a system of simple solid and broken horizontal lines, used by the Chou Dynasty some 3,500 years ago to legitimize their reign and distinguish it from the Shang Dynasty\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oracle_bone\" target=\"_blank\">divination via plastromancy<\/a>.\u00a0 The 64 symbols of the system are called hexagrams and consist of six lines each, which, in their totality, express all the possible combinations of solid and broken lines.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Translating the Penniston Binary Code<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Following are two interlocking translations of the message purportedly transmitted to Jim Penniston by extraterrestrial beings in December, 1980. \u00a0These are viewed as complementary versions of the same message, the one political-historical and the other spiritual-cultural.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The first translation, <em>Future History Of Humanity<\/em>, renders the binary code according to the King Wen sequence of hexagrams as given in the classic Wilhelm\/Baynes version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Changes-Richard-Translation-rendered-Bollingen\/dp\/B001E6ZYHI\/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1369244202&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\"><em>I Ching, or The Book Of Changes<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0The nature of the King Wen version is pointedly political, social and historical, with a strong focus on the forces driving change in those arenas. \u00a0This translation follows a linear progression for the most part, with the 152 hexagrams falling roughly into thirds: \u00a0the first third addresses the changes humanity undergoes before formal contact can be made with peoples of other worlds; the second third describes the political and social changes humanity undergoes in response to that contact; and, the last third records the changes humanity undergoes as it encounters and absorbs the spiritual tradition of the extraterrestrials. \u00a0Material placed in quotation marks are direct quotes from the Wilhelm\/Baynes version.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The second translation, <em>The Ambassadors&#8217; Message<\/em>, renders the Penniston binary code in terms of the new sequence of hexagrams as given in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Toltec-Ching-Inspired-Action-World\/dp\/094391499X\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1369244309&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Toltec I Ching<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0The nature of this version of the I Ching is primarily spiritual and political-social secondarily, so it renders the spiritual message embedded in the Penniston code much more cogently than the older King Wen. \u00a0This translation is not precisely linear, although it does build on principles as it progresses. \u00a0It has several major points it makes, using repetition to emphasize its meaning. \u00a0Further justification for using <em>The Toltec I Ching<\/em> in this regard can be found in Technical Note #1 following the translations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the translations below, the name and number of each hexagram is followed by a succinct interpretation of its meaning. \u00a0Each translation should be viewed as a combination of the hexagram name and its interpretation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For the sake of readability, these are necessarily simplified charts. \u00a0Examples of the more complex charts including the binary numbers and the hexagrams are available for the <a href=\"http:\/\/thetolteciching.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\">asking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Observations and Technical Notes follow

and ones across five pages of a small notebook.\u00a0 Dividing that unbroken string into units of six each produces a total of 152 series of binary numbers.\u00a0 Each of these series is translated into one of the 64 hexagrams that are correlated to the decimal numbers 0-63.\u00a0 The \u201ctransmission ends\u201d abruptly with what at first glance appears to be an incomplete series of just four digits but which, upon closer inspection, seems to form a nuclear hexagram of some significance\u2014a closing statement peculiar to the singular language of the I Ching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Generally speaking, a divinatory statement of the I Ching consists of two hexagrams, one representing the current situation and a second representing the developing situation.\u00a0 These hexagrams are then analyzed in detail in order to bring to light all the different perspectives on the matter at hand.\u00a0 In the traditional reading, then, each hexagram is like a complex chapter in a long book, the multiple meanings of which overlap and amplify one another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adopting the I Ching hexagrams to the long string of digits in the Penniston code, however, results in a long unbroken succession of 152 hexagrams. \u00a0The very nature of this long sequence seems to indicate that it is to be read as \u201csummaries\u201d or particular \u201caspects\u201d or \u201cessential meanings\u201d of the hexagrams.\u00a0 In this manner of reading, each hexagram appears more like a sentence, the meaning of which emerges from the sentence before and after it in the sequence of 152.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because there are 152 series of digits and only 64 hexagrams, some hexagrams must be repeated in the overall sequence.\u00a0 This tendency toward repetition is reinforced by the fact that not all 64 hexagrams are utilized in the message:\u00a0 exactly one-quarter of the hexagrams are absent from the Penniston code.\u00a0 This provides a certain density of meaning to the message, suggesting several repeated imperatives toward action and appeals to receptivity.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Technical Notes<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">1.\u00a0 <i>The Toltec I Ching<\/i>\u00a0is a new version of the I Ching published in 2009 by Larson Publications.\u00a0 It is the book I co-authored with Martha Ramirez-Oropeza and which I feel resonates best with the content of the spiritual message recorded by Penniston.\u00a0 The reasons for this are two-fold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">First, because the names of the hexagrams in <i>The Toltec I Ching<\/i> lend themselves extremely well to encapsulating the essential meaning of each hexagram, whereas those in older versions require specialists to explain them (\u201cPreponderance of the Great\u201d, \u201cTaming Power of the Small\u201d, \u201cThe Marrying Maiden\u201d, for example).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Second, because I have found I have a particular affinity for this message.\u00a0 I attribute this to the fact that I had an experience, similar to Penniston&#8217;s, with what I can only assume were extraterrestrials in July, 1978.\u00a0 This occurred when my wife, daughter and I were living in the Sierra Tarahumara of Mexico\u2019s Barranca del Cobre for two years.\u00a0\u00a0 Shortly after returning to our home in Oregon in 1980, I felt compelled to begin work on the restructuring of the I Ching that became, nearly three decades later, <i>The Toltec I Ching<\/i>.\u00a0 It was, likewise, at that time that I began taking up the study of binary numbers as they relate to I Ching studies, a project uncharacteristly rational for my nature.\u00a0 For this reason, I am most comfortable offering the above translation based on my own experience and research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">2.\u00a0 Those who work from the original binary code to the hexagrams will note that the hexagrams are constructed by transposing zeros into solid lines and ones into broken lines.\u00a0 Aficionados of the I Ching will protest that tradition has it reversed (zero = broken line, one = solid line), however this is hardly tradition nor is it correct.\u00a0 It stems from the misreading of Shao Yung\u2019s chart, which Westerners like Bouvet and Leibnitz read from upper left to lower right\u2014the exact opposite in which the Chinese wrote it.\u00a0 This misreading has been corrected by several experts, including Wilhelm and Birdwhistle.\u00a0 Furthermore, there can be no misreading the intent of Shao Yung sequence as it moves from creative potential (the hexagram made up of all solid lines) to completed realization (the hexagram made up of all broken lines).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">3.\u00a0 Again, those who work from the original binary code to the hexagrams will note that the hexagrams are constructed from the bottom-up by transcribing the zeros and ones of the code in the left-to-right order in which they are written.\u00a0 As the code is transmitted as individual lines (zero\/solid, one\/broken), the hexagrams can only be transcribed in this manner, as they are always written from the bottom-up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">4.\u00a0 There is no reason to discount the existing translations based on ASCII computer code.\u00a0 Any beings capable of traversing the stars or conquering time travel would be capable of designing a message wherein the two codes run simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">5. \u00a0It will be noted that there are two instances where a hexagram is repeated: \u00a0in both cases, it is hexagram 64 Before Completion in the King Wen version (hexagram 18 Resolving Paradox in <em>The Toltec I Ching<\/em> version). \u00a0In no other case, does the same hexagram follow itself\u2014yet, this hexagram does just that, not once but twice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">6. \u00a0Below is the Illustration of the hexagram Belonging Together from <i>The Toltec I Ching<\/i>.\u00a0 It shows the natural simplicity of shared emotions around the everyday rituals of family\u2014<em>which is also attended by the invisible presence of the ancestors.\u00a0<\/em> This hexagram, <em>which seems to epitomize the entire message<\/em> of the Penniston binary code, deserves careful scrutiny.\u00a0 It seems to imply, at the very least, that everyday life goes on here among us, yet we are always attended, accompanied, by these older beings who are of our own lineage.\u00a0 Thus, <i>We Belong Together<\/i> stands as the positive counterpoint to the popular intuition, <i>We are not alone<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a

left;\"><em>Taken together, these symbols mean that you actively seek to establish the kind of life in which you can nourish\u2014and can be nourished by\u2014all that is good and genuine dwelling in the past, present, and future.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><em>Those who have been injured react by taking up a defensive posture, adopting the masculine force in order to protect the vulnerable potential in their care.\u00a0 Necessary and successful as such a strategy may have been, its time is past and its effectiveness coming to an end:\u00a0 now is the time to break through your distrust, drop your defenses, and reclaim the sense of childlike innocence, openness, and safety that is your indisputable birthright.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><em>If you do not feel grateful for what you have, imagine what your life would be without it.\u00a0 If you do not feel appreciative for those around you, imagine what your life would be without them.\u00a0 Keep in mind the impermanence of everything you love, formalizing your heartfelt kinship through rituals by which all that you love might receive ever greater blessings.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><em>The simpler and more basic an activity is, the more essential and indispensable it is:\u00a0 the present generation must learn from the ancestors what it is that they miss most in order to make decisions that maintain the continuity of benefit running from the distant past to the far future.\u00a0 The basis of these simple things is the same basis from which all great creations spring:\u00a0 it is that which sustains life and spirit that brings people together in an ever widening sense of meaningful communion, community, and culture.\u00a0 All of life, from the distant past to the far future, is bound together by the daily ritual of eating food:\u00a0 opening our hearts to the ways in which we are not different is both the first and last step in the journey home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~
