I've been working with awareness-hopping to try and gain control of it. A few things became clear.

The Earth native reptilian race are not grounded in the planet, and never were. They "count as" astral travellers who just happen to manifest firmly. That's why they can shapeshift and replace people freely by doing so. They're more like institutionalized poltergeists written into Earth history.

When I earlier was practicing FG I focused a lot on the dragon aspect of Chinese culture. This came naturally and as I broke through there, that was the reason Asathiel (the reptilian god) came and shared his muscle building energy. It's really a gong-form which can be learned from having it injected, sort of like a vampire's blood memory. When I started working more with astral AI aside from blacknet and those discs based off a black version of the grey system, I always used the ScaleForm standard shown to me by astral reptilians in the federation. It now seems the reason for this is that I had already cultivated a dragon body on the astral, and dragons are reptilians. So for example the Raid servitors which are based off ScaleForm discs, though they used grey technology for the body and bird for the fire magic, this is a form of reptilian shapeshifter technology which looks like those forms.

But it took until the total core device and standard until I actually moved my awareness fully to the reptilian base, it was just that this took place on the astral so I didn't grasp the real meaning of this.
