The biosphere is the ''sensing'' part of Mother Earth. It is her eyes and ears. And it reorganizes itself in response to changes in the environment. Good or bad, environmental alterations alter life.

Now that we are aware that Mother Earth's environment is in crisis, as documented by our August issue, we can see her biosphere responding with massive change. And human beings are part of this biosphere. Like everything else, we will be forever changed by this experience.

This is not the first time that the human species has been altered in response to an environmental crisis. For example, about 25,000 to 15,000 years ago, another environmental crisis brought massive weather changes. The weather changes in turn probably caused an alteration in our food consumption. Previously, for millions of years, we had survived on a carnivorous diet. Now, for the first time in history, we became farmers.

The resulting dramatic shift in our diet was accompanied by an actual shift in the human DNA. Prior to the agricultural revolution, all human blood -- no matter the skin color or body morphology -- was the same Type O. But when we became farmers and changed the kind of food that entered our bodies, we needed a more efficient kind of blood to process it, and, literally out of nowhere, a new human being was born. This new human being had Type A blood, and a revised digestive system adapted to processing vegetal foods.

In Eat Right For Your Type, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo says:

"The cultivation of grains and livestock changed everything. Able to forgo their hand-to-mouth existence and sustain themselves for the first time, people established stable communities and permanent living structures. This radically different lifestyle, a major change in diet and environment, resulted in an entirely new mutation in the digestive tracts and the immune systems of the Neolithic peoples -- a mutation that allowed them to better tolerate and absorb cultivated grains and other agricultural products. Type A was born." (page 8)

As time went on, our DNA evolved twice more, adding Type B blood, and then, more recently, Type AB. And again, scientists believe that these evolutionary transformations happened in response to climatic shifts and changes in the food supply.

Now, in our time, one of the biggest climate changes in history is taking place, along with what is certainly the most radical change in our diet that has ever happened in the history of our species -- perhaps of any species.

Within the geological eyeblink of half a century, human beings have begun to eat a diet that was absolutely unknown upon this earth for the previous many millions of years. Never before has any species tried to survive while ingesting foods containing pesticides, artificial hormones, laboratory manufactured vitamins, antibiotics, and grains stripped of their natural food value. Never before have nonfood ingredients laced virtually every bite we put into our mouths. And -- on a happier note --never before have we been able to select our daily fare from among foodstuffs produced in every country and climate in the world. Today, a single human being in a single day can eat food grown in China, Japan, Europe, South Africa, Australia, South America, Mexico, Alaska, and anywhere else where planes can fly and boats can find harbors.

If the only influence upon our species were the unusual, sometimes toxic, sometimes merely exotic foods that enter our bodies, modern-day DNA mutation would still be a predictable response. But there is much, much more going on today than just a shift in our diet. In fact, humans are faced with an all-encompassing change in every facet of our existence, transforming the very mode in which we perceive our world.

In this issue, we will touch upon the documented DNA alterations, and provide links to scientific research for those of you who want to know more along technical lines. But the sobering fact is that the changes in the New Children are so stunning, so revolutionary, so unbelievable -- even miraculous -- that we do not need electron microscopes to see them. And in response to the speed of environmental change that is happening now, the changes in our children are happening so rapidly that it is a major task just to keep up with them.

There appear to be three distinct new human races being born at this time.[Note] And when I say ''new human races,'' I really mean exactly that. Our DNA is changing in specific ways that have never been seen before, ways that alter the description of what is ''human.'' It may be years before science can fully document the extent of the human DNA mutation that has been happening during the past 20 to 30 years, but even now, hard-core scientific research has revealed that these changes are real. And these changes are bringing powers to the New Children that would once have been described -- that we would still describe, if we are honest -- as ''miraculous'' or ''superhuman.''

In this issue, we will outline what is known about the New Children, and what they could mean to us and to our world.

Perhaps even more importantly, we will discuss the needs of these children. They need to be understood, to be cherished, to be protected and loved. For the basic needs of these children are not being met. Many of these New Children -- literally millions of them -- instead of being recognized for their incredible brainpower, higher energy, immense creativity, and telekinetic powers, are being rejected and abused. Labeled as disordered. Told that they are crazy. Told that they are unacceptable. That they are a problem for others. That they are ''bad.''

Next to the destruction of Mother Earth and her environment, the biggest insanity happening in the world today may be the way in which we are drugging our children into submission to a system that never worked very well anyway, and is tragically inadequate to their needs.

In the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume II, pages 446 - 454, I wrote descriptive articles about each of what I perceive as the three new species of human beings. They are being called the Indigo Children, the Super Psychic Children, and the Children of AIDS. That book was published only half a year ago, and yet already, as I reread what I wrote then, I can see that the knowledge of who and what these children are is rapidly becoming clearer. We are learning so fast!

About two months before Lee Carroll and Jan Tober's book The Indigo Children first came out in May of 1999, I did an internet search for the words ''Indigo Children,'' and found only three websites. Now, just before writing this editorial, I did the same search -- and found over 32,000 sites! We -- you and I and all of us -- can make the difference for these children and for our world.

In this issue of the Spirit of Ma'at we will publish intact the thirteenth chapter of Lee Carroll and Jan Tober's new book on the Indigo Children. It is an interview that Jan gave to another paper and which Lee and Jan used as a chapter in their soon-to-be-released book giving the newest information on the Indigo Children.

In this chapter, Jan zeros in on an important need. Martin, the interviewer, says, ''Are there any foundations or clearinghouses for information, other than your website, for the Indigos? Is there a central place, or places, that are being established to study and work with these special children?''

Jan says, ''My information is that it will just be a matter of time before these are set up. It's too important and it's right in our face; and it's the next step in our evolution. So it will be done.''

And we say to you, and to Jan, that the Spirit of Ma'at and Ma'at Research is now becoming that clearinghouse, where anyone who really wants to know what is unfolding with these New Children can go to our database and search for the information. Although the full research facility will not be online much before the first of the year, we have already started gathering the information that will go into it, and will be hiring people whose job is to pursue this task full time.

Also, we have created chat rooms for the children to begin to get to know each other and share their experiences. And we will do whatever we can in the future to find new ways for us all to communicate. And because the children themselves are so different from any human beings that have gone before, our communications will probably end up taking forms that we cannot even guess at today.

And to the children themselves, we want to acknowledge that our very survival on this small planet will almost certainly depend on you. For you are going to inherit this Earth. And so we want to help you. And we would very much like to have your suggestions on how to do this. How do you think our website might be used to assist you and your peers in ''becoming'' your full potential in this world?

This issue of the Spirit of Ma'at, then, is dedicated to you, our New Children, and to everything that we have discovered about you so far. But it is only a very small beginning. We really do have so much to learn. Now, we must ask you -- all of our readers, but especially YOU -- our children -- to tell us what you know, to help us learn.

With your help, through our webzine and the Ma'at Research database, this vision of a worldwide clearinghouse of information and help for Mother Earth's New Children can become reality. We will do our part. The rest is up to you.

In love and service,
Drunvalo Melchizedek
