1 VHEC Onelight.com Publishing 2011 Mars Session, Preparation for Teleportation to Mars I believe at this time there are humans from surface Earth which are on Mars, who have been on Mars for some time. I also believe that we who practice astral travel using the VRIL current, hyperspace travel will in time acquire the awareness of teleportation to other planets, indeed to the very center of the Sun, and the Milky Way. These sessions for Mars are to engage into a higher and immediate awareness of the areas defining the landing points of Mars and their corresponding history, to walkabout and familiarize oneself with the actual construct of Mars; further to look into past civilizations that may have left artifacts i.e., building structures, Martian engineering. We are capable of time travel using the VRIL current. One may go back to the time where most recent yet very ancient civilizations of Mars were destroyed as was the geological form of Mars permanently altered.

Peaceful journey, Greg
2 Information on Target Locations Olympus Mons (Latin for Mount Olympus) is a large volcanic mountain on the planet Mars. At a height of almost 22 km (14 mi), [2] it is one of the tallest mountains in the Solar System, three times as tall as Mount Everest; even compared to Mauna Kea, the earth's tallest feature when measured from the ocean floor, it is more than twice as high. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars' Amazonian Period. Olympus Mons had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Snows of Olympus"). Its mountainous nature was suspected well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain. [3] The volcano is located in Mars' western hemisphere at approximately 18.4 N 226 E, [1] just off the northwestern edge of the Tharsis bulge. Amazonian, Hesperian, Noachian Epochs The geologic history of Mars has been divided into three broad time periods, or Epochs. From oldest to youngest, these are Noachian, Hesperian, and Amazonian Epochs (named after places on Mars). These Epochs are defined by the number of meteorite impact craters on the ground surface; older surfaces show the scars of more impact craters. The actual timing of the Epochs is not known. The Noachian extends back in time to the beginnings of the planet, and ended sometime between 3.8 and 3.5 billion years ago (according to accepted models). Noachian age surfaces are scarred by many large impact craters. Next in time was the Hesperian period, a time of extensive lava plains. The Hesperian Epoch ended sometime between 3.55 and 1.8 billion years ago; the range here reflects different models of the rate of meteorite falls onto Mars. Finally, the Amazonian Epoch extends to the present day. Ground surfaces of Amazonian age have few meteorite impact craters, but otherwise are quite varied. The Amazonian Epoch has seen the formation of the huge volcano Olympus Mons, lava flows elsewhere on Mars, formation of the landslides in Valles Marineris (like these in Gangis Chasma), and formation of the broad plains and sand dunes near Mars' poles.

4 Hellas Planitia, also known as the Hellas Impact Basin, is a huge, roughly circular impact basinlocated in the southern hemisphere of the planet Mars. It is the second or third largest impact crater and the largest visible impact crater known in the Solar System. The basin floor is about 7152-meters deep, 3 km deeper than the moon's South Pole-Aitken basin, and extends about 2,300 km east to west. [1][2] It is centered at 42.7 S 70 E [3]
5 Mars, Face on Mars, and Cydonia Hoagland claims "the Face on Mars" is part of a city built on Cydonia Planitia consisting of very large pyramids and mounds arranged in a geometric pattern, with the ratios between measured angles roughly equaling mathematical constants such as π (pi), e, and the square root of 2. He states that the ratio between the surface area of a sphere and the surface area of the tetrahedron inscribed within it, (π square root of 3/2), is an approximation of e that Hoagland refers to as e'. Since e'/π (square root of 3 / 2) is 0.866, Hoagland speculates that the primary meaning of the geometry of Cydonia is to emphasize the ratio of the sphere and circumscribed tetrahedron. [28] To Hoagland, this is evidence that an advanced civilization might once have existed on Mars, and that NASA is suppressing the evidence for reasons explained in a Brookings Institution report entitledproposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. In fact, although the report did state that it is a possibility that such information would destabilize society, it did not itself even consider the question of withholding information from the public. The report recommended that the question ought to be studied. [29] Cydonia lies in the planet's northern hemisphere in a transitional zone between the heavily cratered regions to the South, and relatively smooth plains to the North. Some planetologists believe that the northern plains may once have been ocean beds[8] and that Cydonia may have been a coastal zone.[9] One of the features in the Cydonia region, the "face on Mars" (about 1.5 kilometers (one mile) across), has had special notoriety in Western culture since it was imaged in 1976, because it looks like a face.[11] This naturally occurring pareidolia has also inspired science fiction literature which typically assume it is a nonnatural structure.[11][12] For comparison, an example of naturally occurring pareidolia on Earth is New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain. In one of the images taken by Viking 1 on July 25, 1976, a 2 km (1. 2 miles) long Cydonian mesa, situated at north latitude and 9.46 west longitude,[13] had the appearance of a humanoid "Face on Mars". When the image was originally acquired, Viking chief scientist Gerry Soffen dismissed the "face" in image 35A72[14] as a "[trick] of light and shadow".[15][16] However, a second image, 70A13, also shows the "Face", and was acquired 35 Viking orbits later at a different sun-angle from the 35A72 image. This latter discovery was made independently by Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar, two computer engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. DiPietro and Molenaar discovered the two misfiled images, Viking frames 35A72 and 70A13, while searching through NASA archives.[17]
6 Cydonia was first imaged in detail by the Viking 1 and Viking 2 orbiters. Eighteen images of the Cydonia region were taken by the orbiters, of which seven have resolutions better than 250 m/pixel (820 ft/pixel). The other eleven images have resolutions worse than 550 m/pixel (1800 ft/pixel) and ar e virtually useless for studying surface features. Of the seven good images, the lighting and time at which two pairs of images were taken are so close as to reduce the number to five distinct images. The Mission to Mars: Viking Orbiter Images of Mars CD-ROM image numbers for these are: 35A72 (VO -1010), 70A13 (VO -1011), 561A25 (VO ), 673B56 & 673B54 (VO -1063), and 753A33 & 753A34 (VO -1028).[18] Parts of the region were subsequently imaged at far higher resolution by the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Express and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions.
