First off, I apologize for my perhaps way too long post. Here goes:
When Thao said 100 years, it was in context to michels question of 'why didnt you help the hebrews in the beginning, to get back to an appropriate category planet? [and their answer was 'we didnt think they'd survive, being such a small group, and even so, wouldnt remain as pure' [paraphrase from pg. 133]. I want to conclude that more than 100 years = they planned it, if the passage from the bible seems that sort of way, except for one thing: Not only events but NAMES and exact PLACES that wouldnt exist for millenia, are mentioned. How can you plan what someones/some places on earth will BE, thousands of years earlier????
In other words --- would Rabin still have been the prime minister of israel's name, in order for him to have been assassinated?? Would Grays have crashed at all if it wasnt in Roswell NM? In short what is the significance of, and the determination process by which these particular pieces of information are 'fed back' to the planner? Butterfly effect anyone?? Each and every of these little seemingly insignificant questions in my opinion, can only be answered by the participants in the events themselves, UNLESS a detailed 2 way source-access is involved, with a computer recording these details, from Thiaoouba's people incharge of helping earth, to steer certain things here on earth, to ... not necessarily 'make' bad things happen, but, to 'help lessons along.' but I need to ask myself, is this even going on at all? [Im in a skeptical mood - perhaps history is holographic and past 100 years, if details arent influenced, the human mind is incapable of extrapolating, considering the degree of advancement it would take to perform such a task of just predicting anything 1 day ahead for us, this is clearly unimaginable, hence hard to really 'pin down' - to be able to even go into this subject Id really need to understand the psychosphere equivalent to meditating on the future, did it exist in our ancient civilizations, what was it called etc].
That one thing I have a problem with, boils down to one *other* thing, w/regard to the true difference between non-interference, and guidance-type interference, in the context of planning future events: On that same page, page 133, it says that any time god says this, replace it with people from thiaoouba said this/that.....BUT the bible has many distortions, perhaps not purposefully, however I feel that there ARE and have BEEN purposeful distortions, it would seem to me, according to the '4 different versions' theory, specifically each version having laws and the next version either different ones or none at all of a specific 'law'. Theres a different theory, that Ezra re-wrote the Torah, after the temple containing the original, was destroyed, Ezra had a revelation and "re-wrote it".
the distortion I refer to is here:

Which boils down to, what did 'god' aka ppl from thiaoouba, actually SAY to moses, and what didnt they say, becomes much much more difficult!! And I would highly suggest the same is so in other sacred [significant historical event] texts.....So where to go from here? Faith can be discouraging sometimes....
Bible codes I treat differently anyways, like reverse speech. Sure it might exist, but how to separate it from the insignificant passages of words?? or distortions? It can get very confusing. Maybe there are no torah codes. Im not treating them with much priority anymore [feb 15 edit of post from last month?]
). Maybe Moses' name wasn't Moses at his time, no?
