Some entities require fewer incarnations at certain points or planes of development than other entities. This variation in the number of incarnations required is based both on the nature of the entity, or soul, and the circumstances of the incarnation. The key is whether the lesson to be learned has been sufficiently learned. In some cases an incarnation will generate more lessons to be learned than it resolved. The entity moves backwards, so to speak.
ZetaTalk: Star Seeded

Mankind arose from a combination of sources, and the earth was one. As there is tremendous variation on the environments found through the Universe, in any genetic engineering project the engineers find it most profitable to use, as a base, a species native to the planet. The species in this case was a form of ape no longer in existence on Earth. Anthropologists searching for this missing link have not found it, as this ape was chosen not for its wide range but for its suitability.
Having a suitable base, several experiments were tried. Through genetic engineering, the intelligence and dexterity of this ape was increased. The bi-pedal stance was encouraged. When we say experiments, we are speaking of the stage where the product was re-introduced to the Earth, having been residing in labs. The product of genetic engineering then either survived and flourished or died out for some reason. More often than not, the product expired. Some of the aggression and violence we now seek to diminish, for 4th Density existence, were necessary for the product to survive on Earth at that time. This step was repeated many times, on different places on Earth, and this formed the basis for the various races of mankind you see today.
When mankind was genetically engineered, this was under the direction of the Council of Worlds at all times, and at no time was the intent for mankind to be slaves of another intelligent life form. Of course, having created mankind, various groups had as their agenda to do just that. We are saying that the mission was not slavery, but some who knew of the product came back to Earth to attempt to muscle in on new territory. This has occurred here and there, with one group or the other, but all were fleeting occurrences and all were stopped shortly after the campaign developed.
Both the Koran and Bible attempted to explain this among other things to mankind, most of which was misunderstood. Therefore, dwell not on the Koran or the Bible when looking for the true history of mankind's birth.
ZetaTalk: Sleep
Note: written on May 15, 2002
Life on Earth sleeps, due to many factors not present on other worlds where life that has evolved does not necessarily sleep. What are these factors, and how does life that developed elsewhere cope without sleep? Almost all worlds that evolve life rotate, as rotation occurs in planets with liquid or molten cores, which are warm and not cold, a requirement for life. Thus, these worlds have a night and day, and a night alone does not dictate the need for sleep. The factor on Earth that nudged evolving life into regular sleep is the carnivores, huge and voracious and savage. Where today you have big cats and wolf packs and large bears and sharks in the oceans, in the past life on Earth was more precarious. Look to the age of the dinosaurs, T-Rex and the Saber Tooth Tiger. Life that was not a carnivore could expect a short and not too sweet life, on the run, relying on mass production of eggs or young in order to perpetrate the species. Like vegetation that produces huge numbers of seed so that some plants could grow past the point where they might be eaten, and bear new seed, non-carnivore species had little hope of continuing unless they did this. However, beyond the hoofed herds that could outrun or form a circle to ward off the attacks, and thus could perpetrate themselves, and beyond bugs that multiply easily with mass laying of eggs, there was yet another evolutionary technique that allowed survival - sleep.
As Darwin has pointed out, those features that survived passed on to the next generation. Those creatures that crawled into crevices and slept escaped notice of carnivores during the dark periods when a sense of smell could allow a carnivore to locate a meal, and lack of sight would prevent an easy escape for the meal. A sleeping creature is quiet, passes the time without being restless, and conserves energy. It simply developed that sleep was a positive evolutionary technique, and these genes passed even to carnivores due to the branching trees of evolution not being a straight line, but criss-crossing. Today's meal can become tomorrow’s carnivore, via evolution. Evolution then took advantage of the sleep state, likewise benefiting those creatures so they evolved. The creature who was highly alert during wake states was more likely to:
get their own meals,
avoid being eaten,
find a mate and
keep their young close at hand and safe.
The creature who was slow during wake states would conversely:
starve,
get eaten,
not propagate,
not rear young.
In order to be highly alert during the day, the body then needs to do certain functions during sleep. It is not that the evolving body decides to do this, it is that those bodies that mutate and do this are selected by success to spread their genes about. What processes does a body need to do, that could be put off until sleep state? Sorting out the events of the day, in the brain, is one such process. Physiological functions are done during sleep also, like kidney or liver or digestion, but this type of function creates little interest in curious man, who wonders, rather, about their dreams.
Oversleeping, the desire to escape, leaves man sluggish. The body has learned to adapt to sleep, doing physiological functions during this time. It is expected, by the body, that a matching wake state will be in place, so does not always have a dial to stop the sleep state functions if oversleeping occurs. Thus, lack of sleep, or too much, can create chemical imbalances in the body, so the body does not feel well. The giant hominoids on the 12th Planet do not sleep, as we have mentioned, but go into rest states. As can be discerned from looking at the shape of their heads, long and narrow rather than round as are humans, they did not have the same evolution. Mankind was engineered to survive on Earth, and some of the engineers created separate brains, the subconscious and conscious, which are physically separate brains. These giant hominoids do not have this separation, but likewise are more slow and less alert than many jittery men. Should you associate with them on a daily basis, this would be noted.
