1 The Legend of Maldek The story of Maldek begins with J. E. Bode, who pointed out a regular pattern in the planets' distance from the Sun. Bode's Law predicted that there should be a planet between Mars and Jupiter. This set off a telescopic hunt for the missing planet, and in 1801 Giuseppe Piazzi discovered Ceres, the largest of the asteroids. Heinrich Olbers speculated that the asteroids were the ruins of a fifth planet, destroyed by some natural catastrophe; the idea cropped up now and then in science fiction, where inevitably it was assumed that the catastrophe was artificial -- either an accident or war. This idea finally succumbed to the advance of scientific discovery, as did the canals of Mars and the jungles of Venus. But like many discarded or garbled scientific ideas, it lives on in the netherworld of occultism. Somehow this imaginary planet acquired the name "Maldek." There are as many versions of the story of Maldek on the Web as there are New Age goofs who don't grasp the principle of non-contradiction karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 1/10

2 or the difference between fantasy and reality. It's rather a shame, actually: if any of these people could discipline their imaginations, they might have the makings of a science-fiction writer. The story of Maldek is the stuff of grand space opera. "If you look at the ancient literature on your planet, like the Sumerian texts, you'll see that the ETs were using what is very similar to your present-day rockets. The ETs did not have hyperspace capability. Most of them lived either on the Earth or in space stations very close to Earth on both Mars and Maldek which is now your asteroid belt... In those ancient days there were really only three planets that could support physical life: one was Mars, one was Earth and one was Maldek, which is now your asteroid belt. There were no humans on those planets. They were primarily ET territory." "Ranya, a female warrior from Maldek, (a planet once orbiting between Mars and Jupiter)... gives a personal perspective on the final days of Maldek." According to this account, Maldek was a feminist utopia of mannish, dominating women and effeminate, submissive men. Into this perverse environment came "male aggressors from another star system. They decided to eliminate the women leaders and replace them with men." An emissary from yet another star system proposed a truce: "One side would control the three satellites while the other would rule Maldek itself." This was rejected by the rulers of Maldek; the war continued, and the planet was blown up. "When the situation stabilized, Maldek was no more. The largest chunks of the planet settled into a new orbit becoming Earth and its moon. The rest of Maldek floated in a ring of debris between Mars and Jupiter, now called the asteroid belt. Nearby Mars was thrown further out away from the sun. It lost its atmosphere and surface water, becoming a frozen wasteland. Venus was forced closer to the sun where it turned into a burning furnace. A few parts of Maldek were hurled into orbit around the outer planets, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune." "Long ago, another planet within your solar system known as Maldek was destroyed by nuclear weaponry. Recent revelations from Earth's own ascension clearly show that Maldek was shattered as the result of Plieadian [sic] and Sirian forces in retaliation for the bombing of Sirius B. Sirius B, in the bombing raid by Andromedan forces, became a water planet not unlike Earth due to the shattering of the protective ice shields that surround her. Following such attacks, which were veiled to be the result of humans upon Maldek, Maldek was destroyed in counterattack. Not until the ascension of Sirius B was the truth revealed in the process of the Sirian ascension." "In the process of rising above the veils of illusion, the humans upon Sirius A came to an understanding that they had been conned into destroying Maldek needlessly. As such, they came to understand that they had great karma with your solar system as a result of their response that had not been verified before taking action... As such, it was decided by the humans upon Sirius A to reseed human life into your solar system in karmic return for their destruction of Maldek. Earth became the chosen planet, and the only one with 3rd dimensional life remaining within the 3rd dimension, that karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 2/10

3 such an act of benevolence was to be fulfilled upon. And indeed, 50,000 years ago, human life was seeded upon Earth through Sirian intervention." "The Plieadians [sic] and Sirians destroyed Maldek so rapidly, they did not have time to verify whom actually was at cause of the attacks upon Sirius B. It was not until Sirius A and B began to ascend that ascending masters acknowledged that Maldek was not responsible for the original attack upon Sirius B, but rather Andromedas was responsible. As Sirius A seeded humanity upon Earth 50,000 years ago in karmic restitution to the destruction of human life upon Maldek, such humans came into an already radioactive environment that was not a part of the place of their origin." "Many of you have heard of the planet Maldek. Maldek was destroyed and shattered and became our asteroid belt some ten million years ago. One part of Maldek which still revolves around our Sun is known as Chiron. In astrological terms, Maldek represented Unconditional Truth, and in her shattering, the truth of our solar system was lost. In the shattering of Maldek, a solar unconscious was born, and our entire solar system went into polarity." "Both Maldek and Mars once had a crystalline lifeform on it. The civilization on Maldek existed at a time of far less density than we experience here on Earth at the present time. The civilization on Maldek allowed for souls to descend into physicality at will, create the physical experience they desired for whatever lesson they wished to learn, and then to ascend out of physicality when complete with their lesson or experience. The experiences of birth, death and rebirth were not a part of the records of Maldek." "Maldek experienced a different molecular pattern than our current form here on Earth. Our current molecular structure resembles a solar system of atomic particles that revolve around each atom similar to the planets revolving around our Sun. The molecular structure of Maldek was a triple-circle or three balls that rotate around one another like ball bearings. The triple-circle molecular structure appears to have allowed for the descent into form and ascent out of form within the souls who co-created civilization on Maldek." "At some juncture, the molecular structure of Maldek was altered. This appears to be related to a solarlevel curse between the Logos of Maldek and the then Logos of our Sun, Helios. In the alteration of the molecular structure on Maldek, all souls in physicality at that point in time became trapped in the dream they were creating and were unable to leave or ascend out of form. Maldek was eventually shattered in a psychic attack orchestrated by Sanat Kumara and appears to be related to a curse between Sanat Kumara and the planetary Logos of Maldek." "The Order of Rize has determined that 75 per cent of all earthbound personality entities originated from Maldek. Long ago, Maldek was a third-dimensional planet with a fully conscious life form upon it that was humanoid in shape. Such life form was not restricted by reincarnation but rather stepped in and out of form at will. The solar system at that time consisted of two suns and was a utopian solar system experiencing no destruction or difficulties whatsoever. Maldek and all other planets revolved around both suns in a figure-eight pattern. Mars was covered in large minerals and was a place of spiritual retreat and evolution for those incarnate upon Maldek. Earth was a plant and animal sanctuary in which such kingdoms could experiment with shape, form, and evolution. There was peace karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 3/10

4 throughout the solar system. "The Order of Rize would like to state something about polarity here. This is where within the memory banks of Earth and humanity is a utopian time without struggle. Maldek was a utopia that was devoid of all struggle. Without some struggle, there is no evolution. With too much struggle within a particular life form, there is also no evolution. One seeks the middle path of some struggle which brings about evolution. What had happened to your solar system during both the era of Maldek and the current era is that it has experienced both extremes of either too little or too much struggle, which has brought forth a lack of evolution in both cases. This is simply because without just the right amount of struggle, there is no impedance for evolution. And with too much struggle, evolution becomes impossible. "Maldek experienced a time of such ease that there was no desire for any soul to go anywhere. To bring forth an experience of no struggle, the Lords of Maldek had polarized all destruction elsewhere within third-dimensional form, i.e., they consciously sent all destructive souls to other solar systems within third-dimensional form. Polarity as it is will eventually bring forth as extreme a swing in the opposite direction, and as Maldek was destroyed, this is exactly what ensued. Your solar system went from a utopia to a place of great struggle to survive. "The destruction of Maldek was premeditated. This is what the current genetic records have shown as they have been released. What we mean by this is that Maldek was destroyed by another conscious race of beings, who just so happen to be Pleiadian. One may wonder why the Pleiadians would wish to destroy a utopia type solar system? "Well, the Pleiadian karma goes back much further than Maldek. The Pleiadian scientists attempted at an earlier time period to create a new solar system of their own. The experiment backfired and actually destroyed parts of their own related star system. As the elements were lost to sustain life, the Pleiadians sought the missing elements from other solar systems. In total, the karmic records recently recovered from Maldek show that seventeen solar systems all told were raided, one of which was your solar system. "During the raiding of your solar system, the Pleiadians appear to have removed the second sun from your solar system, and then raided it for elements until it cooled and became a third-dimensional vessel now present within their own star system. This loss of a second sun dropped the vibration significantly within your entire solar system. Furthermore, the Pleiadians wished to raid Mars of all of her minerals to replace those minerals that had been lost in their failed experiment. Those incarnate upon Maldek objected, and a war broke out. The Pleiades won, and Maldek was shattered by spacecraft thus becoming your asteroid belt." "The destruction of the Reptoid/Dinoid civilization was done approximately 8 million years ago. With the fleeing of the remnants of the Reptoid/Dinoid civilizations to Maldek, the Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy left its physical guardianship to the one remaining sentient species - the Cetaceans... All that was left of the Reptoid and Dinoid strength was a small colony on the planet Maldek as well as a small group of outpost personnel scattered on the fringes of your Solar System." "Nonetheless, the Dinoid/Reptoid Alliance decided it was time to establish their authority in this region of the Galaxy once again with a broad-based series of attacks on neighboring star systems as we as your Solar System. These attacks were aided and abetted by their forces left behind on Maldek, who were now able to systematically destroy the small Human colonies created by the Galactic Federation on Mars, Venus and Earth." "For a period of roughly 80,000 years, your Solar System was held as an outpost for the Dinoid/Reptoid Alliance. However, as they were eventually pushed back by the galactic Humans across a broad front that included many star systems near your Sun. It finally became possible to karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 4/10

5 create a plan for the return of Humans into your Solar System. To accomplish this feat, the Galactic Federation brought a large battle planet (four times the diameter of Earth) into this region. The purpose of this battle planet was to destroy the planet Maldek which was the chief administrative center of the Dinoid /Reptoid Alliance in the Solar System. After the loss of Maldek, it was felt that it would be relatively easy to conquer the Reptoid/Dinoid Earth Colony. This brief and brutal action was quickly accomplished and the Earth was successfully returned to Human control approximately 900,000 years ago." "Ra said that there was once a planet where the Asteroid Belt now resides, often called Maldek. Ra told us that this planet was caused to explode by a war that occurred between its inhabitants some 500,000 years ago. We also know that Thomas Van Flandern, a reputable astrophysicist, is now putting increasingly hard science behind the notion that this was indeed a planet in the recent past that exploded. All comets in the Solar System can be traced back to that point of origin, for example. Since comets are largely water ice, they are the vacuum-frozen chunks of what was once a fertile ocean... Ra says that 50 percent of people on Earth came originally from Maldek." "Our Moon, according to to the Andromedans, is an artificial moon... According to the Andromedans, our Moon originally came from a star system in Ursa Minor, called Chauta. It was one of four moons in a solar system that had 21 planets. Our Moon was brought from an orbit around the 17th planet. It was brought here, with others, during a war. Our Moon's first location in orbit in our solar system was around a planet called Maldek, which has completely been destroyed during that war and which is now the asteroid belt... Now, apparently, our Moon was one of two moons in orbit around Maldek. The other moon orbiting Maldek we know today as Phobos, which is now orbiting Mars... The beings that were on the Moon in the domed cities were known as Ari-ans - the 'white race'. The Pleiadians apparently were responsible for moving our Moon to an orbit around Earth. So, the Ari-ans that came here on our Moon were in fact humans from the destroyed planet of Maldek, one of the lost tribes of Lyrae, some of the reincarnated souls of them today are living underground on Earth in Tibet." "705,000 BP Extensive Maldek Wars (creates Maldek soul s metaphysical-astral knot of fear ) 600,000 BP Confederation spiritual healing of Maldek population souls on inner 3D planes 500,000 BP Destruction of 3D Maldek (current asteroid belt ), soul-transfer to Earth (Bigfoot)" "The Ascended Master Saint Germain of Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy gave these teachings to group sessions in the USA and Australia between 1986 and There is some interesting early history, beginning with the Titans, giants 25 feet or so high, who originated from the Vegan, or Lyrian system in our Galaxy. They were warlike and conquered many planets, eventually taking over the karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 5/10

6 Constellation of the Pleiades and partly colonizing Mars, Maldek and Earth. A later civil war on Maldek led to its being blown up into millions of fragments, now part of our Asteroid Belt." "Next I had several lives on Malona or Maldek. Some of my lives there were as Reptilians again. Again there were quite a few lives there, then one more time a major interplanetary war broke out. This war was between the 'Lemurian' descendants from MU who had settle[d] on Malona, and the Atlantean descendents who had settled on Earth. The Reptilians and the Sirius A humanoids were also involved in this war... Ashtar and the Sirians had planted crystals all over the planet and had planned to set up some kind of energy grid or shield. Once again, a Reptilian take-over of the planet appeared imminent, and the Sirian Humanoids were attempting to make the planet uninhabitable for them. Whether or not they truly intended to destroy the planet I do not know, but I would like to think not. I had had considerable spiritual powers in that life, and I believe that I had attempted to intervene in their plans to try and save the planet. So I attempted to re-program these crystals to try and deflect the energy back to the Sirian ships, but was not successful, and may have inadvertantly contributed to the problem. Because when the Atlanteans and Sirians energized these crystals with some kind of high energy beam, the energy was too strong and it destabilized the planet[']s energy grids and it was completely blown apart, and again a couple billion people died in that explosion. The remnants of Malona or Maldek formed the Asteroid Belt. But before Malona exploded, a group of us had evacuated and came to Earth... As far as a time frame for these events goes, my sense is that Malona was destroyed about 13,000 years ago." "Thousands of years ago, a group of beings that had been involved in the destruction of a planet variously called Maldek, Mayona, or Tir (among other names) that existed between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, was physically deported to Earth to purge their heavy karma. They were supposed to aid us in our evolution, but instead of helping us they began to use their abilities for their own purposes... About 25,000 years ago, the adverse effects of the deported beings from Maldek began to affect what was considered another promising hybridization experiment: Atlantis." "So how does an explanation arise that could justify a planetary breakup? Loss of momentum. Being earthbound ants we might have our noses up too close to get an objective opinion. Although reverse attraction of matter may play a role, momentum may play a larger one in a planet's structural existence. If anything should disturb such a fragile equilibrium, we could begin to say our prayers for a speedy disaster. My honest guess is that one crazy scientist helped encourage the planting of nuclear warheads underground along the major fault zones ringing Maldek's continental plates. The hope was either for one, or another, result: the sinking of an enemy's continental mass, or a planetary suicidal deterent to nuclear war. It was probably hoped in the first theory to minimize nuclear fallout and establish a winning victory... The esoteric narative goes further to say that we were invited to finish our curtailed evolution here on earth, but under quarantine on the moon." karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 6/10

7 "This world is filled with young and old souls. The old souls came from Maldek. A few came from other worlds: in the Pleiades, etc. But the majority of the population is indigenous (native). Maldek was a smaller planet than the earth and further out from the sun. This incouraged [sic] earlier cooling and evolution of life. It also had a faster evolutionary rate with a risk of imbalanced growth. Earth doesn't suffer that risk, because it incourages [sic] a slower, more balanced, development. Maldek may also have had a small contingent of the population filled with perrenial [sic] discontent." "[William L.] Brian describes a Star Wars-like scenario in which a hollow planet between Mars and Jupiter was obliterated by high-tech particle beams, leaving behind our latter-day asteroid belt. That asteroid belt planet ('hereafter referred to as Maldek,' he writes, somewhat inexplicably) had a moon, which, thanks to 'great levitating or gravity-inducing beams' was transported into the orbit of its new host: Planet Earth." "Mars was a very civilized planet similar to ours and had a war with planet Maldek, about 100,000 years ago; Maldek was destroyed and became the asteroid belt, and Mars remained an intact planet, but very inhospitable to life." "So violent have we been in our past that we destroyed our race on Earth twice before. First, in what was known as Lemuria or Mu, and later during the days of Atlantis. Even before that time, we inhabited a Planet called Maldek, then between Mars and Jupiter. In a global war, not only did we destroy ourselves but the Planet as well. The asteroid belt is all that remains of Maldek today." "Approximately 18,600,000 years ago we inhabited another planet called Maldek within this solar system. Mankind destroyed this planet in a tremendous misuse of atomic energy. All that remains is the asteroid belt... Needing somewhere to reincarnate, we were accepted by the Mother Earth, then inhabited by an advanced race known in occult literature as Adamic Man. Eventually we emerged into the civilization of Lemuria which we also foolishly destroyed with atomic power." "[D]uring the last Great Galactic War... Maldek was destroyed by Nibiru after the opposing forces had destroyed the colonies on Mars, Venus and Earth. If you want to know more about the outcome of this war and the reason Maldek was destroyed, you will find that information in the book We are the Nibiruans. The biosphere of Mars and Venus were also destroyed along with their colonies leaving both planets a wasteland." karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 7/10

8 "[A] planet once existed between Mars and Jupiter, known either as Maldek or Marduk. Although its inhabitants were highly advanced technologically and space travel was routine for them, their technical ability exceeded their better sense, and their planet exploded, creating the asteroid belt that exists today. Before the final detonation, however, some of the Mardukians traveled to Earth and seeded a civilization that eventually became Atlantis. When these former denizens of Marduk interbred with the primitive beings that pre-existed on the earth at that time, they began the heritage of our own species, approximately 20,000 years ago." "Although reminiscent of the theories of researcher Zecharia Sitchin as to the origins of man, these revelations are distinctive in that Marduk is claimed to have been destroyed as a planet and now continues to exist only on the astral plane. This subtle world is where many people on Earth go after their demise, to continue living an earth-like existence, but in their astral bodies. Interestingly, people on Marduk apparently have a limited vision of themselves; like the physical earthlings they once were, they believe that their astral planet is the full extent of reality. Many Mardukians do not acknowledge the existence of life on the physical Earth; rather, many believe that their notions of an earlier existence in physical form are just bad dreams!" "Approximately 4.6 billion years ago in our solar system there existed: Mercury, Venus, Mars (no moons), a 4th planet (larger than Earth with many moons, including a large one), Jupiter, Saturn (no rings), Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (which was a satellite of Saturn)." "4 billion years ago, another planet came into our still forming solar system. This planet had its own moons. It arrived at approximately the same orbit as the 4th planet called Maldek -- the one that existed beyond Mars. Mars was then the 3rd planet." "This planet's moons impacted the 4th planet shattering it so that part of became the Asteroid Belt. The remnant of the impact (as it cooled and moved into a tighter orbit around the sun) became the Earth and brought with it the large planet that was the moon of the 4th planet. This is our moon. Approx. 67% of the former planet is Earth. Earth brought with it water - but there was water on the other planet, as well. As it reformed and became a sphere again, the rift where the shattering took place is now the Pacific Ocean area." "This other planet was responsible for shattering the moons gravitationally that caused Saturn's rings and for turning Uranus on its side, so that it has a highly inclined axis. And - this also caused Pluto to release from Saturn and come into its own orbit." "This planet, of course, that caused all the havoc was/is Nibiru. It is our 10th planet - not really the 12th." "The planets Mars, Venus, and Astera (the now blown-up planet between Mars and Jupiter -- sometimes called Maldek) were inhabited by descendents of Adam who came from Earth. Thus humanity was scattered all over the heavens as God may have intended them to. In addition to inhabiting the planets, some of the four large moons of Jupiter might have been inhabited also as well as Saturn's moon Titan and the large moon of Neptune, Triton." karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 8/10

9 "In your Holy Works, there is a reference to Lucifer, the Son of the Morning, the Fallen Angel. The Lucifer that is spoken of was a planet located between the two planets you call Mars and Jupiter. It is called, in our language, Maldek, Tongue of Fire. Maldek was the fifth planet from your Sun. It existed for many millions of years. Its civilization was greater than that of your earth even in this day." "The people had gone through the evolutionary cycles of wars and strife and had finally reached a state of spiritual awareness. Two principle cities upon its surface were Karna and Vadur. There were three billion inhabitants in all, in these two great cities. MAN had achieved the fullfilling of all his needs. Vadur was a shining jewel of beauty." "It came about, after this had existed for many hundreds of years, that the people of Maldek were exposed to the radiation of fissionable products, which their government chanced to be exploring the possibilities of. Here a great diaster took place. A missile containing Calnutronite, their most terrifying force yet developed, was somehow tampered with and it exploded over the suburban areas of Karna. The radiations which were loosed into the atmosphere of Maldek seared the minds of all the people everywhere upon its surface. A form of madness (radiation induced) infected all of these people." "Karna accused Vadur of having intentionally caused this accident. The people, inflamed as they already were, declared that a retribution should be extracted from the Vadurian continent. I need not say of what followed. Envy, greed, and hatred, fanned by the slow-falling dust, laden with this radiation brought about the loss of all reason in these people. A war of nuclear weapons grew to great proportions." 24,000 Years Ago: "The mythological planet Maldek explodes. The loss of this planetary body in the solar system results in inequality of the sexes on the earth. The energies of Venus and Mars normally would be integrated by the Maldekian planetary field as the energy wave of each planet intersect with the earth. Without the integration of the energy by the Maldek field a slow growing separation occurs between male and female sexes. Unity slowly falls away and the Atlanteans are most prone to this effect, as they draw so much of their energy from the planetary grid." "[The] moon is really a vast artificial orb that was created, originally, to be the protector of the planet you call 'Maldek'. Today, Maldek is just an asteroid belt that exists between Mars and Jupiter. In former times, it was an Earth-like world nearly 29,000 miles (46,690 kilometers) in diameter, which, for over one million years, served as the dark Anchara Alliance's headquarters. Galactic Federation forces later destroyed this planet, in order to re-colonize your solar system. Much later, forces loyal to Atlantis put your Moon in its present position in order to attack and destroy Lemuria." karljahn.tripod.com/maldek.htm 9/10

10 "It seems that a planet once existed between Jupiter and Mars. But it blew up. The core shot across the orbit of Mars, and into the arms of The Earth's gravitational field. The surface shattered into fragments of rock and water. The rocks are now called The Asteroids. The chunks of (sea)water would be the comets. Much, no doubt,s hot right out of The Solar System altogether. Why would the planet explode? Going nuclear from radio-activity's excesses? I have a more likely idea: Phaeton or Lucifer was once a fertile planet, much like The Earth. With humans, too. They had a war. Thermo-nuclear. And/or nuclear. In desperation (this idea is not mine either, but I like it -- because it makes sense) they tried out untested weapons." "When The Planet Lucifer (or Phaeton) blew up, some Luciferians were space travelling. These landed near to their planet's core (now Our Moon) -- that is on The Earth. And (it being too hazardous on the outer [surface]) they went within, through The Poles. They bred, and there is now a race there. They are giants, and technologically very advanced. But evil. They have 'flying saucers' (but extra-terrestial saucers exist, too) (Most of these are friendly.) Here is the source of evil. For Earthmen are merely unevolved. However, in addition to the abductions, many Luciferians re-incarnate into Earth babies. (As well as obsessing and possessing us.)... The four-dimensional funnels are also being used as passage-ways in and out of the realm within. Satan-ku is the name of the leader. King Devil. Hence Satan." "This happened about sixty-five million years ago. And I claim it is responsible for an enormous change to flora, fauna and geology then. Due of course to the enormous rain of asteroids, comets and radiation. The Dinosaurs, Neanderthals and some of The Cro-Mag[non]s were driven into the Earth's WITHIN... Through the poles, which were not frozen then." Size Earth Age- 4.5 billion years Civilization(s)- Drakar, Zetan Population- 9,1035,723 (at time when it was destroyed) History- The planet Maldek was the real fifth planet from Sol. The planet itself was bigger than Earth, but scarcely more than a mere rock. Somewhere between million years ago the Zetans began to colonize the planet and when adequate construction was completed the Drakars moved in. The Drakarian Empire then launch three asteroids to the hominid civilizations one for Venus, one for Earth, and one for Mars. The first one struck Mars atmosphere about 65.5 million years ago, wiping off over two-thirds of the Oxygen rich atmosphere. The one that hit Earth didn t wipe off the atmosphere, but ended many species of life and set some off some massive ice ages on Earth. The third one hit Venus also, but never reached the surface much less beneath it because the Drakars underestimated how violent the atmosphere really was. The Galactic Alliance responded quickly and with an iron fist, they sent Erran and Scenarian warships, which destroyed Maldek killing all inhabitants on the planet.
