                 (Kiri goes over
                                        various corrupt coercers in the
                                        history of Sirius and relates
                                        the story of Hurrah the Brave
                                        who originally did great harm to
                                        the land until his conscious got
                                        the better of him. He reformed
                                        himself and went about undoing
                                        all the harm he had done and in
                                        the end helped the planet in
                                        ways still felt today.)
 
 
 Kiri:
                                          okay, any more questions?
 
 Russ: no, that’s all I’ve got
                                          for right now, I'll have to
                                          think about this.
 
 Kiri: hmm, how long did that
                                          take? That took up quite a bit
                                          didn’t it?
 
 Russ: not that long.
 
 Kiri: well we started that…..
 
 Russ: about 15 minutes?
 
 Kiri: uh-huh, yeah but it is
                                          basic behavioral patterns that
                                          are important within coercion.
                                          You see, coercion through the
                                          ages has been used and abused.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Kiri: on our home planet,
                                          Tonar the Corrupt, powerful
                                          coercer. Good example, great
                                          example. Tonar the
                                          Magnificent, also a corrupt
                                          coercer, that was after the
                                          ascension (from the Sirian
                                          Chronicles podcast). Hurrah
                                          the Brave, another corrupt
                                          coercer although he did try to
                                          redeem himself, that is why
                                          he's called Hurrah the Brave
                                          because he did great harm in
                                          his youth but he started to
                                          understand the moral dilemmas
                                          that he had created and the
                                          necessary plans and actions.
                                          Actually he's a good example
                                          of what was thought of as
                                          negative coercion to start
                                          with turning out to be good in
                                          the long run.
 
 Russ: uh-hmm. Yeah but where
                                          is Honar the Brave here?
 
 Kiri: Hurrah…..
 
 Russ: oh sorry.
 
 Kiri: he’s been dead for quite
                                          a few thousand years.
 
 Russ: I mean that he could be
                                          reborn and reborn and reborn.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: he must’ve achieved some
                                          sort of enlightenment from his
                                          turn of ways and he might be
                                          on someone’s Council now for
                                          all we know.
 
 Kiri: that is something that
                                          we would not concern ourselves
                                          with because what he had done
                                          in the past he had learned
                                          from.
 
 Russ: correct but that’s what
                                          I mean, he went through the
                                          necessary lessons so…..
 
 Kiri: yes but at the time what
                                          he did was that he had people
                                          constructing and cutting down
                                          and clear cutting an area. Did
                                          great harm to the land and he
                                          had an industrial complex and
                                          all the yucky pollution that
                                          goes with that but, from the
                                          research facilities and the
                                          things that were related to
                                          that came out with good things
                                          that were able to clear up the
                                          area that he had destroyed and
                                          replant it and return it to
                                          back to how it was. He had
                                          done great harm in his first
                                          500 years and when he realized
                                          that he was heading on a very
                                          negative path and all these
                                          people that were in his
                                          control that did his bidding
                                          that had no thought of
                                          anything else but to appease
                                          their master, he started to
                                          change and to realize that he
                                          had to redeem himself by doing
                                          things and restoring the
                                          balance. What it had took him
                                          over 450 years to do, he
                                          restored it in 200 and
                                          restored the balance and also
                                          the technological advances
                                          that came from his corrupt
                                          period in agriculture,
                                          horticulture, all the
                                          necessary interactions with
                                          that from that period in his
                                          life in the long-run became
                                          good. You see they had to or
                                          he had to go through those
                                          steps to achieve where he was
                                          going so it was looked upon to
                                          start off with that he was
                                          doing great harm but, when he
                                          decided to change radically
                                          and to advance towards a
                                          specific goal that would be
                                          good, he had to make some very
                                          hard and dangerous choices
                                          which made him look very
                                          brave.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Kiri: hence the name that he
                                          got in the last 350 years of
                                          his life, he didn’t live to be
                                          900 because of how hard he
                                          pushed himself in the last 350
                                          years. He pushed himself very
                                          hard and his actions were
                                          looked upon as very brave and
                                          long-reaching….
 
 Russ: ahhh.
 
 Kiri: and by taking those
                                          gambles and putting in action
                                          a whole load of events that
                                          are still even felt today. The
                                          love for the land in that area
                                          is beyond belief.
 
 Russ: I see, well thank you,
                                          that makes a lot more sense.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh, any more
                                          questions?
 
 Russ: uh-uh.
 
 Kiri: you got questions but
                                          you just want to get me out
                                          don’t you?
 
 Russ: well I am a little
                                          concerned about time.
 
 Kiri: oh okay.
 
 Russ: come back later if you
                                          want dear.
 
 Kiri: we’ll see.
