In one breath

MM pictures the prison as a geode: a hollow inside the rock of the parent universe, lined with crystals. The hollow is the reality bubble where lives are lived; the crystals are the "Heavens", one sub-pocket per imprisoned species, where lives are reviewed and planned. Human Heaven is run by the Mantids, an insect-like multi-dimensional species. Each human has a Mantid (your "guardian angel"); above them sit the Mantid Primes, who write the curriculum. The Domain works with the first group and says the second still follows Old Empire orders.

The geode

the parent universe (where The Domain and the Old Empire live) the reality bubble: lives, deaths, the "punishment" side Earth plus the other prison solar systems HumanHeaven HorseHeaven DolphinHeaven ElephantHeaven "TheHole" the "parole" side: rest, review, school, next-life planning, one pocket per species Cats have no prison Heaven: the feline archetype "refused every attempt" at a prison suit, so cats stay free (Commander, Oct 2021).
The geode. From MM's Prison planet: the Domain's massive geode. The "Hole" is the Commander's term for a special holding micro-universe for very powerful prisoners (the "Goetic spirits" of old magic books, "more than 72" of them), from which The Domain has not yet extracted anyone. Only container species (humans, horses, elephants, dolphins, llamas and some smaller creatures) were modified; other animals are unmodified.

Two details matter. First, the Heavens "do not actually exist in the Master Universe as inmates would understand"; they are prison fixtures (Commander, November 2021). Second, The Domain has never entered them: doing so would mean passing "through the electromagnetic washing of our very being", the same wash that erases inmates. That is why The Domain's rescue plan works from the reality side, at the moment of death, and not from inside Heaven.

Who the Mantids are

MM's description: a multi-dimensional invertebrate species that he believes evolved naturally on Earth, far older and "way, way, WAY more advanced" than the Greys, whose reality is "quite different from anything that us humans can comprehend". He calls them the species that is actually cultivating humans, and says "angels" is an apt word. PissedLizard describes them independently as the beings behind human affairs. Every human has one. They communicate through ritual, through dreams, and, when ignored, by shouting: moving the mouse, making deleted screenshots reappear, anything that says "pay attention".

you, in a body general population,amnesia, on a template your Mantid maintains the suit, keeps youon template, runs the lessons Mantid Primes in Heaven; write the curriculum;"growth through strife" The Domain outside; works with the GPMantids, not with the Primes no contact: the Primes still "follow Old Empire directives as if The Domain did not exist" "Mantids are the most important beings in the human inmate suit right now" (Commander, part 1)
Two kinds of Mantid. From the October 2021 sessions. The Domain has "de-synchronised" the general-population Mantids from the Primes because the Primes' plans "call for much more bloodshed, violence and horrific events than what The Domain finds acceptable" (part 7). The Commander still tells readers: if you ever have to choose between The Domain and your inner Mantid, "you must always obey your inner mantid directives"; The Domain is mission-directed, the Mantids are consciousness-focused.

What happens in Heaven

MM adopted Michael Newton's two books (Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls) as the best available map of the human Heaven, and annotated them. The stages his readers should expect:

  1. Gateway and greeters. You are met by guides, soulmates or loved ones; an initial energy healing.
  2. Homecoming. Reunion with your soul group; some homecomings are celebrations.
  3. Review. A life review "with a council of elders". Every religion has a version. You are judged on how you handled the events, and that judgement maps the next life.
  4. School. Learning clusters: "in Heaven they are organized in educational learning classes and the students enter the General Population of the Prison Complex to experience lessons set up by the Mantid Primes" (Commander, part 4).
  5. Life selection. Newton's "ring of destiny": choosing the next body and route; in MM's terms, drawing the next template (part 4).
  6. Return. Through the tunnel, with amnesia, into a new body.

MM's standing caveat on Newton: he "did not understand what time, realities and the concept of quantum shadows" are, and he treats the whole cycle as natural. In the archive it is treated as the parole wing of a prison.

Clusters and karma

Everyone here has "friends, histories and associations" with other prisoners: a cluster. The longer you stay with a cluster, the more your quanta tangle with theirs; the Commander told one reader that after "many, many centuries" in these groups his entanglements were "quite strong". Karma in this material is not a court. It is a reinforcement mechanism: attachments made by every interaction, good and bad, that pull you back into the same situations with the same people.

you a positive entanglement (help, gifts, service) a negative one (harm, grudges) To leave a cluster: stop making negative ties, and neutralise the old ones with positive ties to the same people. (Commander, part 4)
Entanglement, not judgement. MM's rule of thumb is "being a Rufus": quiet compassion and practical help create positive entanglements that offset bad ones. The Commander says the Primes' newer directives deliberately encourage karmic attachments "to solidify group clusters", which keeps people cycling.

Why The Domain calls the curriculum broken

Part 7 of the EBP comm contains the clearest account. The Commander lists six things that went wrong with the reform program:

1 · The original idea
Reconfigure dangerous IS-BEs over "millions of years of retraining" into a shape that could never fit the Old Empire again, then release them far away. "It was not initially established as a final solution for really bad criminal elements."
2 · Parole removed
As Old Empire leadership changed they "made it so that there would never (truly and actually) be a period of parole and release... a black hole from which criminals would enter and never leave."
3 · Drift
"Mantid Prime directives changed over time internally of their own volition."
4 · De-synchronisation
Since working with The Domain, the general-population Mantids no longer run in step with the Primes; The Domain finds the Primes' plans too bloody.
5 · Other users
Entities use the complex for entertainment ("never-ending bouts of recurring terror"), to feed on emotions ("a farmed animal... harvested"), and service-to-self souls build pleasure templates with their Mantids' cooperation.
6 · The result
"A bastardized / hybrid program of little value to any IS-BE. The questioner is advised to elect not to participate in it, and upon translation (death); call for pickup."

Two views of the same place

MM's older, MAJestic-era articles call Heaven the place your soul lives and describe the Mantids as caretakers guiding human evolution toward a "purer" state. The 2021 Domain material calls the same place the parole wing of a prison. MM does not retract the earlier view; he says the nursery and the prison are the same facility, and that what changed in 2021 is who runs it and what the exit looks like.

Remember

  • Heaven = a species-specific sub-pocket attached to the prison, for rest, review and planning. Cats were never fitted with one; their Heaven is a natural one.
  • Your Mantid keeps you on template and meets you at death; the Mantid Primes write the lessons and still follow Old Empire rules.
  • Karma is entanglement, offset by kindness, and clusters are what keep people cycling together.
  • The Domain has never entered a Heaven; its exit works at the moment of death, on request.
