A dossier-style rendering of a Telosian figure within the underground city of Telos, reflecting the founding timeline described in the channeled source material.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
TELOSIAN
Beneath Mount Shasta, according to more than a century of accumulated legend and, more recently, decades of channeled transmission, sits a city of roughly a million and a half people who have not aged, sickened, or died since the day their ancestors sealed themselves in to escape a nuclear war between Atlantis and Lemuria. Its name, Telos, means “communication with spirit” — and the story of how that name, that population figure, and that founding myth came to be documented is nearly as layered as the legend itself.
Name: Telosians
AKA: Lemurians, Mount Shasta People
Location – Home System: Telos, a city beneath Mount Shasta, California, described across sources as roughly 1.5 to 2 miles beneath the surface
Distance from Earth: Earth-native; 0 miles
Attitude: Described across the channeled literature as benevolent, peaceful, and deeply spiritual
Motives: Preserving Lemurian records and teachings; supporting what the source material calls humanity’s “ascension” to a higher state of consciousness; maintaining what is described as a planetary crystalline grid
Physical Appearance: Tall, human-appearing, described in the source material as youthful in appearance regardless of actual age
- Average Height: Roughly 6.5 to 8 feet, per the channeled source material
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Described as spanning thousands of years, with individuals said to retain the appearance of someone in their thirties or forties regardless of actual age. The source material attributes this to their way of living — freedom from disease, conflict, and the “thoughts of sickness, aging, and death” said to pervade surface consciousness — rather than to any specific biological mechanism.
- Hair: Undocumented with specific detail in sources reviewed
- Skin: Undocumented with specific detail in sources reviewed
- Eyes: Undocumented with specific detail in sources reviewed
- Sex: Male and female
Other Physical Information: Described in the source material as physically human in form
Special Traits and Abilities: Telepathy is a consistent, repeated claim across the source material, including the specific claim that telepathic transmission between Telos and the surface involves no time delay. Claims of “high-speed manifestation” or bioluminescent emotional signaling do not appear in the sources reviewed.
Communication Type: Telepathic, and, per the source material, a spoken language called Solar Maru, described as the root language of Sanskrit and Hebrew
Origin: Lemuria. The source material describes a layered history: Lemurian priests, anticipating catastrophe, petitioned to build a refuge city beneath Mount Shasta roughly 15,000 years ago, initially planned for 200,000 people. A nuclear war between Atlantis and Lemuria roughly 12,000 years ago then destroyed both surface civilizations, with only an estimated 25,000 people making it into the completed city before it was sealed. The population has since grown to its current figure over that period.
Life Form Type: Humanoid
Subspecies: Undocumented as a formal classification. Telos is described in the source material as one city within the broader Agartha Network, said to comprise more than 100 subterranean cities with its capital at Shambhala; two other specifically named cities in this network are Posid (in Brazil, said to be of Atlantean origin, population roughly 1.3 million) and Rama (in India, population roughly 1 million). These are related but distinct cities, not Telosian subspecies. “Hyperborean” belongs to a separate, older polar-civilization legend and does not appear to be part of the Telos-specific source material.
Most Common Species: Undocumented as a formal designation; named internal castes such as a “Golden Lemurian” phenotype, a “Blue-Skinned Elder Guard,” or “Porthologos Archivists” do not appear in the source material reviewed for this correction
Level of Species: Undocumented (no numbered or graded classification appears in the source material)
Habits: Described in the source material as maintaining a peaceful, ahimsa-based lifestyle — never cutting down trees or killing animals — and governing themselves through a council of twelve Ascended Masters under a High Priest named Adama, who is also described as an ambassador to a Galactic Federation of Planets
Transportation Type: Referred to in the source material as the “Silver Fleet”; smaller scout-type vessels are specifically referred to as “watchers”
Witnesses Reports: Frederick Spencer Oliver (A Dweller on Two Planets, 1894/1899, the earliest literary source placing Lemurian survivors beneath Mount Shasta); Harvey Spencer Lewis, writing as “Selvius”/Wisar Spenle Cerve (1931, credited with popularizing the modern Lemuria-at-Shasta legend); Guy Ballard (I AM Movement, 1930s, a separate and earlier Mount Shasta contact tradition); Aurelia Louise Jones and Dianne Robbins (the primary modern channeled-transmission sources for the specific “Telos” city material used throughout this entry)
Special Features/Characteristics: The Library of Porthologos is described in the source material as a repository holding “the records of the universe,” accessible in a way that allows a visitor to re-experience recorded history directly rather than simply viewing it. A claim ranking it as “second only to the Akashic Records” in size does not appear in the sources reviewed and should be treated as unverified.
Summary/Description: According to the channeled source material this entry is drawn from, Lemurian survivors of an ancient war have lived in a sealed underground city beneath Mount Shasta for roughly 12,000 years, developing a society without sickness, aging, or death, and maintaining a vast archive of historical records they describe as second in importance only to their own direct experience of the past. The material also includes a cosmology describing planets as hollow, crystal-sun-powered bodies rather than molten-core spheres — a teaching that should be understood as part of this specific channeled tradition, not as an independently established claim.

DETAILED REPORT
The Telos legend has a genuine, traceable literary history spanning well over a century, which makes it worth separating into its layers rather than treating it as a single unbroken account. Frederick Spencer Oliver’s 1894 (published 1899) novel A Dweller on Two Planets was the first widely circulated work to place Lemurian survivors in tunnels beneath Mount Shasta. In 1931, Harvey Spencer Lewis, writing under the pseudonym “Selvius” (also credited as Wisar Spenle Cerve), published material that is generally credited with popularizing the legend in the form most people now associate with the mountain. Separately, Guy Ballard’s 1934 Unveiled Mysteries described his own encounter with the Ascended Master Saint Germain at Mount Shasta, founding the I AM Movement — a related but distinct tradition from the specific “Telos” city material.
The detailed modern picture of Telos — its population, its governance, its founding history — comes primarily from channeled transmissions published by Aurelia Louise Jones and Dianne Robbins from the 1990s onward. This material describes a two-stage founding: Lemurian priests, anticipating catastrophe, petitioned roughly 15,000 years ago to build a refuge city beneath the mountain, initially planned to house 200,000 people. When a nuclear war between Atlantis and Lemuria devastated both surface civilizations roughly 12,000 years ago, only an estimated 25,000 people made it into the completed city before it was sealed off from the surface. The population is consistently given across independent secondary summaries of this material as approximately 1.5 million today.
The source material names specific figures largely absent from earlier versions of this page: Adama, described as Telos’s High Priest and an ambassador to a Galactic Federation of Planets, and a governing council of twelve Ascended Masters. It also gives the name “Telos” a specific meaning — “communication with spirit” — and names a specific language, Solar Maru, described as the root of Sanskrit and Hebrew. None of these details appeared in the previous version of this page, which instead filled the same space with invented internal castes and a fabricated technological vocabulary.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
A Century of Legend, Layered — Separating What Each Source Actually Says
- Source Chain Assessment: This entry actually rests on several distinct, real, and traceable sources spanning over 130 years — a 19th-century novel, a 1931 popularization, a 1930s contactee tradition, and a modern channeled book series. Treating “Think About It Alien Database” as the source, as the previous version did throughout, obscured this genuinely interesting layered history.
- Fabricated Internal Taxonomy: The previous version’s “Golden Lemurian,” “Blue-Skinned Elder Guard,” “Porthologos Archivists,” and “Surface Emissaries” castes do not appear anywhere in the Telos source material and have been removed. So has the “Aghartian, Hyperborean, Lemurian” subspecies list — Hyperborean legend belongs to an entirely separate mythological tradition and does not appear in Telos-specific channeled material.
- Fabricated Biometric and Technology Panel: A precise body temperature, blood pressure claim, telomere-based immortality mechanism, “Level XV” species rating, and an extensive invented technical vocabulary (Torsion Field propulsion, Tachyon-encoded light packets, a DNA-scanning “biological firewall”) do not appear in the source material and have been marked Undocumented or removed.
- Genuine Detail Restored: Adama’s name and role, the council of twelve Ascended Masters, the meaning of “Telos,” the Solar Maru language, the two-stage founding history, the ahimsa lifestyle, the “Silver Fleet” and “watcher” vessel names, and the related Agartha cities of Posid and Rama are all part of the actual, findable source material and have been restored in place of invented elaboration.
- Accurate Figure Confirmed: The population figure of approximately 1.5 million, which the previous version got right, is consistently repeated across independent secondary sources describing this material and has been kept as documented.
What the Telos legend actually offers, once separated from invented elaboration, is a genuinely traceable century-plus chain of storytelling — from an 1890s novel through a 1930s popularization to a modern channeled book series with named authors, a named High Priest, and a specific founding mythology. That chain is worth presenting accurately on its own terms, rather than dressed up with a science-fiction taxonomy no part of the tradition actually claims.
