ne word getting plenty of

play these days
is change.
Everyone wants it, but
no one seems too clear
Roman Theatrical Masks
on just what it means.
Certainly change alone
is not the answer. After all, if things suddenly got much worse that would be change too but
no one wants that. Doubtless, the kind of change people want is for things to get better, but
the meaning of that too seems obscure. One mans progress is anothers degeneration, and so
it goes. The kind of change most people want, at least in the world of politics, seems to be in
the people in power, but no one wants to change the basic forms of material gratification on
which they and their brethren are dependent. They simply prefer, it appears, for a different ox
to be gored. Real change, the kind that could truly liberate life on earth, we suspect, might be
viewed as something a bit more disturbing.
That such is the case should surprise no one. So long as the ego-centered materialistic
popular culture guided by tribal think dominates, the kind of change that might really matter
is likely to remain a very slow process indeed. Change that could make an actual difference
involves what used to be called metamorphosis, catharsis, transmutation and other names
which refer to something much more profound than the popular stereotype of change. It is
something that must happen to the individual soul before it can happen to society. It is in the
nature of all souls to seek iteither consciously or unconsciously and its absence creates
great longing and a powerful force for modifying the status quo. Such change, when thwarted
long enough, can lead to explosive manifestations which can make things far worse, not
better. Politicians manipulate these forces at their peril.
The need of the soul for growth and change was something understood well by the enlightened ancients who made it their business to nurture and encourage it. The goal of ancient temple practice was to achieve liberation from ordinary consciousness by conducting
initiates through rituals which brought about the desired transformation. Theatre today is, to
some extent, the inheritor of that tradition and, in that it seeks to bring catharsis to its audience, it is still part of the ancient temple craft. Part of the magic of theatre is in the truth
which an audience can be led to understand through the orderly presentation of the forces
call them archetypeswhich shape our consciousness. From the introduction of the protagonist and the antagonist, the conflict, and all of the lesser characters, from the inciting moment to the final climax and resolution, the process leads the audience to catharsis, and, for
some, to real change. The formula that worked for the ancient Greeks worked for Shakespeare and still works today, as anyone ever moved by classic tragedy can testify.
The laws of change which work in drama, of course, are a reflection of the laws which
bring about change throughout nature. Caterpillars become butterflies and plants become
flowers through the delicate unfolding of subtle geometric processes guided by the same principles which informed the temple practices from which classic theatre is derived. At one time,
those who consciously experimented with the laws of change in the quest for their own soul
liberation were called alchemists.
The real argument today is not between those who want change and those who dont. It is
between those who celebrate the eternal flowering process of the soul and those who deny it.

Forbidden Science
Im just finishing Forbidden Science, and a bit puzzled. I think I
read the magazine pretty carefully,
and I know that Ive read articles in
it that cover part of the same
ground as what is in Forbidden Science, but a large portion of the 33
chapters I have read so far is, to the
best of my recollection, material
that isor at least seemstotally
unfamiliar to me as an actual article
from the magazine. Are all the chapters taken from issues 1-50? (I
started reading with issue #51.)
Whatever the answer, the book is
a wonderful collection and a great
addition to our evolving knowledge
of how the creation really works, so
I thank you for this. Ive actually
spent a weekend with Russell Targ,
and 29 other people who never did
any remote viewing, and learned
that in fact we can all do itand
pretty impressively, considering none of us
there ever had done it before. And Ive also
spent a brief hour-and-a-half in a class with
David Morehouse, whoif you dont know
ithas become quite a motivational speaker
since his Star Gate experience. (The chapter
involving him doesnt begin to really tell the
story of his individual growth.) My favorite
factoid so far is that anecdotal comes
from the Greek an meaning not and the
Greek ekdotos meaning published. Next
time one of my more scientific friends tells
me that some experience of mine is merely
anecdotal, I mean to tell him what the
word really means, and explain to him that,
by telling him about it, and therefore having
published it, it is no longer anecdotal, so
he has to believe it!
Again, thanks for your magazine and your
booksyou are doing wonderful work to
help us open our minds to all sorts of new
thinking as we approach 2012 and the shift
in human consciousness that is, I think, due
to come around that time.

Once More with Enthusiasm
The word spirit can be completely defined by the word enthusiasm. They are totally interchangeable. A winning enthusiasm
is a winning spirit. A team enthusiasm is a
team spirit. A school enthusiasm is a school
spirit. A community enthusiasm is a community spirit.
There does not have to be a real Santa
Claus that lives at the North Pole in order for
children to have the enthusiasm (spirit) to
believe in Christmas presents. There does
not have to be a real Santa Claus in order
for there to be a spirit of Santa Claus. There
does not have to be a real Easter

Bunny. There does not have to be a
real Tooth Fairy in order for there
to be a spirit of a Tooth Fairy.
There does not have to be a real
God (or Goddess).
All atoms contain both matter
and energy. Whenever two (or
more) atoms join together to form
a molecule, they must co-ordinate
all that matter and energy to work
in harmony. That means the molecule must have intelligence. And
that means the molecule must
have life. Where there is intelligence and life, there is also past,
present and future. Past means
memory. Present means consciousness. Future means creativity. And
that creativity can lead to evolution
or creation. It does not require a
God (or god) to create life. Atoms
can join together to create life.
Plants can join together to create
life. Animals can join together to
create life. Humans can join together to create life. Life, whether
simple or complex, can be created
very simply and easily.
I have the enthusiasm (spirit)
to remember, to learn and to
create. And so do you.

Templar Secrets
It would seem strange that the Templars
came to Iceland in 1217 (Grail in Iceland,
A.R. #69, page 12) except that some secret
knowledge revealed its appropriate standing,
namely that it was Eden, with present-day
Akureyri being the spiritual locus Atlantean
colonists established as a haven circa 6,000
B.C. But they were yet forced into an exodus
to Scotland, thus the Templar treasure in
like fashion was later removed to Rosslyn
Chapel and eventually to Nova Scotia.
But the real treasure was knowledge that
Jesus was furthering an ancient Atlantean
spiritual tradition of redemption. He revived
the bloodline and teachings of the olden
Golden Age. Likewise, the Templars fostered
the cathedrals, Arthurian lore, tarot, and renaissance that sought to spiritualize civilization so earth-below could faithfully model
heaven-above.
Thus the Grail is foremost the Grein
Man, being all questers who journey towards
the merciful goddess via inspiration, truth,

In regards to your recent article on the
Templars and John the Baptist (From Saint
to Sun God, A.R. #67): The knights did not
worship a bearded skull! Under torture a few
higher knights did admit they worshipped
a three-sided device called the Baphomet.
This metallic silver unit was attached to
cords the knights carried and could give
them information about crops, weather, etc.
In other words, it sounds very much like a
radio transmitter! The Templar masters were
very careful protecting these still extant devices and no Baphomet was ever uncovered
by the inquisition.
Your author also mentioned the odd resemblance of the John the Baptist mythos to
the worldwide stories about advanced beings
coming up out of the sea. As I mentioned in
my book, Astronauts of Ancient Japan, a
number of these advanced persons are definitely mentioned in historical texts. These include the Kappa of Japan, the Oannes of
Persia, the Nommu of Mali, Africa and the
Fisher Kings of Merovingian France. Notice
the double consonants in each name. All of
these creatures carried odd equipment which
today might be called scuba gear. In the picture of the Oannes you printed it is clearly
shown that he is wearing a wrist watch.
These avatars gave advanced knowledge to
the crude cultures they visited. The result
has been that certain spots on this globe suddenly became more powerful. If the Masons
(derived from the Knights Templar) created a
new Jerusalem in America, then it was surely
due to the Baphomet code.

The Seeds of Relativity
The purpose of this letter is to make a
case that seeds of relativity originate with the
ancient Greeks. The wave-particle dilemma
was started by them. The Atomicists were the
Quantadiscreteschool and the others
were the continuousor waveschool. To
grasp this we must realize that many of the
ancient texts were written in the form of a litotes or understatement. This was done as
the reality they wished to express was too difficult to put in words. Since this is really a
spiritual description, let us give a great example of a litotes and how it is misunderstood to this day. In Genesis we find that
male and female were created in Gods
image. This has been taken to mean that God
is double sexed. Indeed, statues are found
with both genitalia on them. Nothing could
be further from the truth as in Matthew
22:30, we find that spirit is neither male or
female.
So what is the answer? The Gods or the
spirit are the union of opposites. Another example would be the turning of the water into
wine. Christ did not make wine. Wine will
make one sleepy. We sleep to regenerate. The
energy in the water was akin to the effects of
wine. It made us drowsy. It also rejuvenated
the organism. If this principle is not understood, then the writings of the Greeks will be
misunderstood.
We shall take two paradoxes, the quickest
runner and the motionless arrow. For sure
we are not talking about running and arrows. We have here the discrete act of running, the steps or strides, they would be the
quanta. The motionless arrow would be the
wave concept. Taking the runner concept
even further, we can say that there is a limit
to speed on the earth plane. He would be a
reference to the speed of light. It took till
Einstein to show this.
Indeed another error still persists, that
there is no ether. If the speed of light is absolute and independent of the source, we have
already a supersensible thing, a type of ether.
Light is indeed outside of this world, supersensible. The physicists had their definition
wrong or rather, the light would not behave
as the scientists wanted. It is the easiest supersensible or etheric thing to detect. The
Michelson Morley experiment had to show
no so-called ether.
A much harder thing to detect would be
the energy in the water miracle. For this we
have no detector other than the human organism. The Greeks thought in pictures,
using common every-day objects. This ability
in humans faded away by the 19th century.
Tesla and Einstein still could do this. If we
take the spirit concept one step further, we
can say that both were reincarnated Greeks.
So if this be true, then there are at least several so-called ethers. Wilhelm Reich was correct after all. The modern-day scientists only
have a tiny piece of the puzzle. All of the old
texts should be read in the form of understatements.

The Destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah
(John Martin, 1854)
Eyewitness Account
Details Destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah
he Bible story of
the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah has been unexpectedly corroborated by an ancient
Sumerian clay
tablet. In fact, according to a startling
report from two
prominent scientists, the tablet,
Sumerian
which had baffled
Planisphere
scholars for more
than a century, is a
virtual eyewitness description of an ancient
asteroid hit that killed thousands. The event
is said to be related to a great landslide episode which scientists have previously called
the Kfelss Impact Event.
According to a story in the British newspaper, The Daily Mail, Alan Bond and Mark
Hempsell, both rocket scientists, say that the
tabletknown as the Planisphere and discovered by the Victorian archaeologist Henry
Layard in the ruins of the royal palace at
Ninevehis a Sumerian astrologers description of the night sky shortly before dawn on
June 29, 3123 B.C. The tablet say Bond and
Hempsell is a 700 B.C. copy of a far older
tablet. Half of the tablet shows the position of
planets and clouds, while the other half describes the movement of an object looking
like a stone bowl traveling rapidly across the
sky. That object is said to match a kind of asteroid known as the Aten type which orbits
the sun close to earth. Its trajectory would
have put it on a collision course with the Otz
Valley. Hempsell told the Daily Mail, It came
in at a very low anglearound six degrees
and then clipped a mountain called Gaskogel
around 11 kilometers from Kfels. Hempsell went on to explain how the object exploded as it traveled down the valley and ultimately produced an event of literally biblical
proportions.
The Sodom and
Gomorrah story
from the Old Testament tells how the
wicked behaviour
of the natives offended Abraham
who personally
chose to live elsewhere, but, nevertheless, pleaded
with two angelic
visitantscome to
warn of the cities
impending demiseto spare them for the
sake of his nephew Lot, who, despite
Abrahams rejection, had chosen to live in
Sodom. Lot and his family were ultimately
rescued before the end, but Lots wife who
though warned not tolooked back at the
final conflagration, was said to have been
turned into a pillar of salt. Some have argued
that the turning to salt could have been an
apt description of what might happen to
someone too close to the great heat of a nuclear blast.
Bond and Hempsell do claim that the explosion would have generated a gigantic
mushroom cloud and filled the air for hundreds of miles with thick dust. The Kfelss
event is generally thought to have occurred
several thousand years earlier than the 3123
B.C. date referenced, but Bond and Hempsell
say that is a mistake caused by contaminated
samples used in the earlier analysis.
As might be expected, the claims of Bond
and Hempsell are controversial. Detractors
find it difficult to believe that ancient astrologers were such keen observers of the
heavens. Whether Bond and Hempsell are
right or not, there is little doubt that when it
comes to recognizing the true advancement
of the ancients, mainstream science has a
very poor record indeed.
New Study Sets Out to

Unearth the Secrets
of Stonehenge
hile the debate over the true age of

Stonehengethat massive circle of
stone megaliths in southwest Englandhas
raged for centuries, scientists now say they
are determined to settle the argument once
and for all. Thus a new effort has been undertaken to find out with certainty just how old
the mysterious site truly is. Conventional
wisdom currently has it at about 5,000 years.
Late in March archaeologists working for
the English Heritage Society initiated the
first new dig on the spot since 1964 with the
intention of making out exactly when the
original blue stones were erected. Unlike the
massive sandstone monoliths which make
Stonehenge so easily recognizable, little remains of the first standing stones, the blue
ones, on the spot. Over the centuries they

have been mostly broken up and carted
away.
What we do know is that about 80 of
them, weighing between one and four tons
each, were brought from a quarry in the Presili Hills over 150 miles away. The mystery of
how and why the massive effort was made to
extract them and move them to Stonehengein a time generally believed to be
quite primitiveremains, but it is hoped
some new light will be shed on such questions. Any organic material that turns up
will be carefully dated and the information
yielded will, hopefully, put things in better
context.
Most of the mainstream theorizing has to
do with the notion that Stonehenge was intended as some kind of healing spot. Seldom
mentioned are the points of John Michell and
others that the site was at the confluence of a
vast system of perfectly straight tracks called
ley lines which overlay virtually the entire
English landscape. The advanced knowledge
of sciences like surveying, mathematics, astronomy, etc., clearly implicit in the megalithic engineering of pre-historic England, is
usually disregarded in favor of ideas more
palatable to sneering modern science,
namely that the ancient builders were not
much more than superstitious huntergatherers who, like Fred Flintstone, apparently enjoyed hauling around big rocks.
Painting Shows Jesus in Tibet
Scene from the

Jesus Thangha
esearcher Terry Anthony writing on the

Tate Publishing web site describes a 19th
century thangka (religious painting) from
Tibet which he acquired some years ago. Remarkably the painting clearly depicts several
scenes from the life of Jesus, including one
showing him visiting the Himalayas. Anthony purchased the painting from a respected dealer in oriental antiquities and
considers it authentic.
Possibly the work ofor under the influence ofMoravian missionaries, the thangka
shows a clear awareness of the biblical story
of Jesus depicting familiar scenes including
walking on the water, the transfiguration and
the entry into Jerusalem. Whatever the
source of the painting, it tends to corroborate the account of Nicolas Notovitch, a russian journalist who traveled to the Himalayas
in the 1870s and reportedly was shown old
manuscripts maintained by Tibetan monks
describing visits by a Saint Issa (clearly
Jesus) to Tibet. Notovitchs book St. Issa Best
of the Sons of Men, was later translated by
Nicholas Roerich the famous Russian painter
and spiritual teacher. The details have been
covered more than once in Atlantis Rising
(most recently in Len Kastens article Did
Jesus Visit India in A.R. #59).

Knife Hit on Rupert Sheldrake

n April the worldwide paranormal science
community was shocked to hear that at a
conference in Santa Fe noted researcher Rupert Sheldrake had been stabbed. Sheldrake
was standing on a stage and the attacker
struck from beneath or else the blow might
have done more damage. As it was, it hit him
in his left leg where the wound was deep and
the blood loss was considerable. The near
fatal attack occurred at the 10th International Conference on Science and Consciousness immediately following a lecture he had
given on thought transference. The attacker was a Japanese man from Yokohama
who appeared mentally deranged. Sheldrake
received immediate and effective medical attention and within a few days had made an
almost complete recovery.

An anathema in so-called skeptical scienceread that materialisticcircles Sheldrake is best known for his theories of morphic resonance which he believes is the basis
of memory in nature.
Sheldrake says, I have also felt no fear,
and have indeed felt calm and happy, even
blissful at times. Nevertheless, considering
the particular focus of his work, it is difficult
to escape the notion that darker forces may
have been at work.
Just a little over four years ago, new energy pioneer, author and Atlantis Rising columnist Dr. Eugene Mallove was assaulted
and killed by burglars in his parents home.
While attacks like that and the one on Shel-
Sheldrake on his way to the hospital
drake may appear entirely random, their intensity signals the presence of forces which
must be guarded against, both spiritually
and otherwise.

CAN CLOUDS
PREDICT
EARTHQKAKES?
ince time immemorial sailors and others

have watched the sky in an attempt to
read signs of the coming storms in the
clouds, now new research is indicating that it
might also be possible to see signs of impending earthquakes in the clouds.
According to New Scientist Magazine
(www.newscientist.com), a couple Chinese
geophysicists, Guangmeng Guo and Bin
Wang of Nanyang Normal University in
Henan, China, when studying satellite images from December 2004, noticed a gap in
the clouds that precisely foreshadowed the
location of the main fault in southern Iran.
Even though the clouds around it were
moving, the mysterious gap stayed fixed.
Temperatures in the gap which stretched for
hundreds of miles were also higher. Sixty
nine days later, February 22, 2005 an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 hit the area, killing
more than 600 people. In December, 2005 a
similar formation again appeared in the Iranian clouds 64 days before a magnitude 6
event in the area.
Guo and Wang think that hot gases released from inside the fault may have caused
water in the clouds to evaporate, but, at this
point, no one is quite sure what to make of
it. The hope is that there may be some process at work which could lead to reliable
earthquake prediction, something which,
heretofore, has been sadly lacking.
Mystics of many traditions have long
looked for subtle signs in clouds as harbingers of many events on earth. Maybe they
were on to something.
Electricity
from Sound
from Heat
hile the modern technology may generate more heat than light, in the future it may be electricity.
Physicists at the university of Utah have
discovered how to turn such heat into
sound, which in turn can be turned into
electricity. The energy in waste heat is usually too chaotic to be made into usable energy, but by directing it to resonators in a
tube, a flow of hot air can be produced which
can made to produce a loud tone like a flute.
The single tone can easily be converted to
electricity.
Researcher Orest Symko says the technique could produce plenty of electricity.
Plans are underway to test his devices at a
military radar facility and at a University of
Utah hot-water generating plant. The army
hopes the system will provide portable energy generation. Proponents think the
method could be an alternative to photovoltaic cells and provide a new way to cool computers and to generate more electricity from
the heat released in nuclear plant cooling
towers.
Orest Symko uses a blowtorch to produce heat
which is converted to electricity.

In April, 60 Minutes with reporter Leslie

Stahl carried the story of amateur inventor
John Kanzius of Pennsylvania and his
amazing machine to cure cancer. A former
radio and television executive, Kanzius was
diagnosed with terminal leukemia. In the
course of painful chemotherapy and concerned about children dying without hope,
Kanzius decided to try some of his almost
forgotten radio knowledge to develop a machine that could attack cancer. His wife
thought he was crazy, but somehow he hit
on a method of heating targeted cells with
radio waves. Subsequently he joined forces
with a maker of magnetic nanoparticles and
figured out how to heat and destroy cancer
cells without any side effects. Kanziuss machine has shown such phenomenal results
that big money and big research have followed, and some experts are now saying the
approach has more promise than anything
they have seen in years.
Cancers are said to have been cured in
rats, but human trials are still years away
not soon enough, it seems, to save John Kansius, but, if he lives long enough to see the

We still may not know

Other sites showing strong evidence of
pre Clovis habitation in the Americas such as
in Chiles Monte Verde have been found, but
Paisley is the first to produce DNA. We have

most, the news out of India in March

20,000 years.
According to Amal Roy, the state
archaeology departments superintendent, Indian scientists have found
stone tools, as well as agate, Quartz,
chert and chalcedony used by a
hunting tool-producing community.
Fossilized fish fins and seeds have
also been found at the site. The dig,
led by geo-archaeologists S. N. Rajguru and B.C. Deodare, has been underway for a year and a half.
The new find further buttresses
the arguments of those, like Atlantis

who have argued for a much greater
antiquity for Indian civilization than

Considering that most school children

it were holy writ, it will be interesting to see
how long it takes to make the adjustment. If

Word is circulating that plans are in development for a 50-mile tunnel beneath the sea

The Russian-born billionaire Roman

Abramovich has purchased the worlds
biggest tunneling drill, and many believe he
wants to tunnel to America. Abramovich is
governor of Chukotka, the region adjoining
the strait. He is also a good friend of Vladimir
Putin who is believed to favor such an idea.
Insiders say that secret talks on the project
are already underway with Washington. The
Russians apparently see their country as the
hub of a new world in which Europe and the

Conference (AEPC 2008) will be June 28-29
at Jarboes Mill, 29880 Three Notch Road,
Charlotte Hall, Maryland, and live on the Internet (call-in phone numbers are 301-3570431 for Channel 1 and 202-494-5743 for
Channel 2. See www.green-salon.org for
more details).
AEPC 2008 is an outdoor weekend venue
for independent researchers and inventors to
demonstrate their advanced energy and/or
healing technologies in a safe environment,
and is free of charge to both presenters and
the public. A local county commissioner,
Larry Jarboe, is sponsoring the event. Hes a
good example of citizen involvementin hydrogen and electric vehicle research as well
as sustainable communities.
No formal RSVPs are requested, since
AEPC is an informal network of inventors,
researchers, and activists who support fullscale implementation of advanced energy
technologies. Its also an opportunity for inventors and researchers to do funding deals
to bring advanced energy technologies into
full-scale production, and to show the public
whats available.
The plan is that Jarboes Mill will remain
open following AEPC 2008 through the end
of August, to provide a location in the D.C.
area to showcase technologies as they are
made available for demonstration. To make
arrangements inventors can contact Larry
Jarboe at 240-577-1240.
Bob Boyces Electrolyzer
Todd Hathaway and Nora Maccoby of Potomac Sustainable Communities Initiative

hosted last summers precursor event, and
Todd tells me the open-sourced hydroxy gas
technology of Bob Boyce is being tested in a
road rally (this is written in April), and the
Jarboes Mill event is expected to have a practical demonstration of a Boyce resonance
drive system, engineered to preproduction
standard and fitted to a running Toyota
Prius.
Bottom line: the estimated output of
Boyces 100-cell unit is enough to run the
Prius without having to fuel the vehicle.
Hathaway says Bob Boyce has open-sourced
the technology well enough that it can be independently replicated at other locations.
His willingness to open-source an incredibly valuable technology may prove to be
the first advanced energy technology to successfully make it into mainstream consciousness, as we have materials for ten units
totalfour of which will remain with Bob
and two colleagues and six of which will be
distributed to different locations in the U.S.
for live demonstrations and public scrutiny.
Open sourcing means the technology
idea is given to the world. So at the end of
June when viewing the hydroxy-fueled car in
person I expect to join in Hathaways feeling
of celebration that the game is over
advanced energy technologies are now available to the public, thanks to Bob Boyce and
those who supported his research over the
years.
To help make certain that several of his
hydrogen-booster and resonance-drive units

will be demonstrated at AEPC 2008, his supporters have emptied their pockets and they
request our donations for Bob Boyces R&D
projectvia Paypal to bobboyceh2o@yahoo.
com.
The topic of donations brings us back to
the proposal for an Extreme Science Foundation (XSF) and its XS-NRG prize. The man
who years ago came up with the idea is a professional engineer who believes that successful unconventional free energy experimental devices exist although they have not
been adequately proven to the mainstream
science community. He is convinced that the
act of undeniably proving to the world the
existence of such inventions is all it would
take, in the current circumstances on earth,
to usher a new era in human evolution.
As a well-traveled specialist in the electric
power industry, his viewpoint is that there is
one sure route to recognitiongetting the
unconventional systems tested publicly by
acknowledged experts without any businessdeal strings attached to the process. Further,
he has for years been pointing out that the
act of giving you and me and our brothers
and sisters an opportunity to contribute our
small donations can raise public awareness
in itself. So he is looking for someone of
proven integrity and knowledge to set up a
transparent accounting system and probably
a trust fund, so that every dollar donated can
be publicly followed on its path.
He doesnt want the suggested foundation
to center around himself; in fact he is prepared to hand the project over to an appropriate nonprofit organization. The New Energy Movement (www.newenergymovement.
org) pledged its willingness but would have
to have more resources on hand. Needed are
persons skilled in specialties such as accounting and high-level public relations and
with time to spare, as well as funding for fulltime overseeing of pledged funds and administration of the project. A volunteer capable
of setting up a world-class project even before funding is available would be ideal.
My preference, since I admire his dedication, would be to tell you about the man who
came up with the idea for an XS-NRG
prizemore than just the facts that I have
known him and his wife for years and have
seen their integrity in action in various circumstances. However, for valid employmentrelated reasons he insists on staying out of
the spotlight personally so Ill just call him
Vlad, as he is known on his web site.
Vlad would be the first to tell you that he
doesnt have the specialized communications
skills or even the supply of tact required to

Notes from
Michael A. Cremo
www.mcremo.com
The First Europeans?
n early April, my email inbox began to fill with messages calling my attention to some
new discoveries made at the Spanish site of Atapuerca. The site has been around for
some time. In the 1990s, archaeologists recovered bones and artifacts at Atapuerca,
which they attributed to a creature that they called Homo antecessor. Those discoveries
were given an age of about 800,000 years. But the new discoveries, reported in the March 26,
2008 edition of Nature, are 1.2 million years old, extending the age of Homo antecessor by
about 400,000 years. Scientist began to call Homo antecessor the first European.
In speaking about Homo antecessor, scientists have thrown the word human around
very loosely. Many of them have called Homo antecessor human. When most ordinary people
hear the word human, they think the scientists mean humans like us today, Homo sapiens.
But if the bones found in Spain really are human in that sense, then why not call them Homo
sapiens? In this case, I think that would be the proper thing to do. If we look at the visual reconstructions that scientists have made of Homo antecessor, we find that this creature very
much resembles humans like us (Homo sapiens), as can be seen in the accompanying illustrations. In these pictures, you do not see anything you could not see among people walking the

streets today. In terms of height, Homo antecessor was between five and six feet tall, according to the researchers who discovered the fossils. Most humans today are that height.
Also, some researchers say they believe that Homo antecessor could produce the same range
of sounds as modern humans, which means they probably had human speech, as well as the
capacity for symbolic thought.
But most scientists today are evolutionists, and they believe that humans like us, modern
Homo sapiens, appeared only about 100,000 years ago. They believe that archaic Homo sapiens may have existed up to a few hundred thousand years ago. But before that, they believe
there were no Homo sapiens of any kind. Therefore when scientists who believe in evolution
find humanlike fossils older than a few hundred thousand years old, they exaggerate minor

differences from modern human bones, or they claim to
see such minor differences when they really are none. And then they
go on to give the creatures to whom the bones belonged names of species
other than Homo sapiens (such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo antecessor, etc.) ,
thus creating an illusion of evolutionary progression.

Lets consider some of the ways that Homo antecessor is supposed to be different from
Homo sapiens. The average brain capacity of Homo antecessor is said to be between 1000
and 1100 cubic centimeters. Although this is below the modern human average of about
1350 cubic centimeters, it is still well within the modern human range which goes from
about 900 cubic centimeters to about 1800 cubic centimeters. Another thing to consider: one
of the Atapuerca skulls (Cranium 4) has a brain volume of 1390 cubic centimeters, which is
just above the modern human average. As far as the shape of the skull is concerned, some scientists point out that Homo antecessor has an occipital bun. The occipital is the bone that
forms the rear part of the skull. An occipital bun is a pronounced protrusion of the middle of
the occipital, forming a bun on the back of the head. The occipital bun is found in many
skulls of Homo erectus and the Neanderthals. But anthropologist Daniel Lieberman pointed
out in the PBS special Neanderthals On Trial (2002): There are lots of human populations
that have occipital buns.There are some recent people in Europe who have them. If youre
a Lapp or a Finn, youre more likely to have the occipital bun. But bushmen from South Africa often have occipital buns. And Australian aborigines often have occipital buns. Scientists say that Homo antecessor had a low forehead. But many humans today also have low
foreheads. Scientists say that Homo antecessor did not have a chin, but there are many living
humans who also do not have developed chins. So if you add it all up, the features found in
Homo antecessor are not different from those found in modern human populations. So why
should we give this creature a name that indicates it is a species different from our own? At
most, it is a variety, a subspecies. So we should either call it Homo sapiens, plain and simple,
or, if you like, Homo sapiens
antecessor. But I would prefer
calling it simply Homo saJawbone found at Atapuerca
piens.
So in reality the discoveries at Atapuerca provide evidence that Homo sapiens, humans like us, were present 1.2
million years ago in Europe.
The scientists involved in the
discoveries say that this
dating is quite secure, because
the date was arrived at by the
convergence of three different
dating methodspaleomagnetism, cosmogenic nuclides,
and biostratigraphy.
But that does not make the
Homo sapiens found in Spain
the earliest Europeans. There
are human skeletal remains
older than that from Europe.
In 1855, an anatomically modern human jaw was discovered at Foxhall, England, by workers digging in a quarry.
Robert H. Collyer, an American physician then residing in
London, acquired the fossil. He noted that the bed from which
the jaw was said to have been taken was 16 feet below the surface, in the Red Crag formation (H. F. Osborn, Natural History,
1921, vol. 21, p. 567). The condition of the jaw, thoroughly infiltrated with iron oxide, was consistent with incorporation in
this bed. The 16-foot level of the Red Crag formation at Foxhall
is the same from which J. Reid Moir later recovered stone tools
and signs of fire. Anything found in the Red Crag formation
would be at least 2.5 million years old.
In December of 1879, a landowner at Castenedolo, Italy, noticed some human bones in an excavation. Professor Giuseppe
Ragazzoni, a geologist at the Technical Institute of Brescia,
traveled to Castenedolo and collected the bones, which included

pieces of the skull, some teeth, and parts of the backbone, ribs, arms, legs, and feet. More
bones were found over the next few weeks. On February 16, a complete anatomically modern
human skeleton was discovered. Ragazzoni journeyed to the site and supervised the excavation. The skeleton, enveloped in a mass of blue clay, turned out to be that of an anatomically
modern human female. The skeleton, said Ragazzoni in his original report (Commentari
dell Ateneo di Brescia, 1880, April 4, p. 123), was found in the middle of the layer of blue
clay....The stratum of blue clay, which is over 1 meter [3 feet] thick, has preserved its uniform
stratification, and does not show any sign of disturbance. He added, The skeleton was very
likely deposited in a kind of marine mud and not buried at a later time, for in this case one
would have been able to detect traces of the overlaying yellow sand and the iron-red clay
called ferretto. Modern geologists place the blue clays at Castenedolo in the Astian stage of
the Middle Pliocene, which would give the discoveries from Castenedolo an age of about 34
million years.
Another Pliocene find comes from Savona, a town on the Italian Riviera, about 30 miles
west of Genoa. In the 1850s, while constructing a church, workmen discovered an anatomically modern human skeleton at the bottom of a trench 3 meters (10 feet) deep. The layer
containing the skeleton was the same age as the layer containing the skeletons at Castenedolo
(de Mortillet, Le Prehistorique, 1883, p. 70), i.e., Middle Pliocene, about 34 million years
old. Arthur Issel communicated details of the Savona find to the members of the International Congress of Prehistoric Anthropology and Archaeology at Paris in 1867. He declared
that the Savona human was contemporary with the strata in which he was found (de Mortillet 1883, p. 70). Some suggested the skeleton was recently buried in the place where it was
found. But a report given at the International Congress of Prehistoric Anthropology and Archaeology at Bologna in 1871 pointed out that above the dark layer of clay in which the
skeleton was found was an upper layer containing white sand. If the skeleton had been buried,
white sand should have been mixed with the clay. But the layer of clay in which the skeleton
was found was unmixed. Also the cavities of the bones of the skeleton were filled with the unmixed clay. This could have happened only when the clay was soft, during the Pliocene period
millions of years ago. Also, the skeleton was found at a depth of 3 meters (10 feet), rather
deep for a burial.
De Mortillet (1883, p. 72) also mentions a human skeleton found in a Late Eocene formation at Delemont, Switzerland (that would be about 30 million years old) and a human
skeleton found in a Miocene formation at Midi de France (that could be up to 20 million years
old). Anyway, when we look at all the evidence, we see that the human bones recently found
at Atapuerca, which are 1.2 million years old, are not really those of the oldest Europeans.

BY MICHAEL TYMN
n an early review of Dr. Raymond

Moodys 1975 best-selling book, Life
After Life, the late Dr. Elisabeth KblerRoss wrote, It is research like Dr.
Moody presents in his book that will enlighten many and will confirm what we have
been taught for two thousand yearsthat
there is life after death. And, at Amazon.com, the product description of this
still-popular book, which has sold over 13million copies, reads, the extraordinary
stories presented here provide evidence that
there is life after physical death
Moodys groundbreaking book created a
new area of science called near-death
studies and a number of other scientists
added to Moodys research of the phenomenon that came to be known as the neardeath experience, or more simply as the
NDE. Generally, there are six characteristic
associated with the NDE:
Seeing things from outside the body as
in observing ones operations from above or
viewing an accident scene from outside the
accident.
A feeling that one is in a tunnel and

that he or she is proceeding through that
tunnel toward a light at the end of the
tunnel.
Being greeted by deceased relative or
friends who act as a guide, by an angel, or by
a Being of Light, and then receiving some
kind of orientation relative to the persons
situation.
A life review in which the person sees
every instant or highlights of her or his life
flash in front of her/him.
Being told by the Being of Light, the
angel, guide or relative that he/she must
return to the body, then usually protesting it.
A complete transformation in the
persons outlook, generally moving from a
materialistic outlook to a spiritual one.
Rarely did the researchers find any one
person who experienced all of the characteristics, but there were enough reports of each
one that they could recognize a definite pattern.
The NDE, per se, falls short of proving life
after death. What it does is offer evidence
that we do in fact, as St. Paul told us, have
two bodiesa physical one and a spiritual
one, the spiritual body separating from the
physical body at the time of death. In effect,

the NDE is an out-of-body experience (OBE).
Many people have reported having OBEs
without having suffered the physical trauma,
such as a serious accident, often associated
with NDEs. And while OBEs do not usually
produce the tunnel effect, the life review, and
the other end-of-life characteristics associated with the NDE, those people who have
experienced an OBE, what some call astral
travel, report leaving their physical bodies,
seeing with non-physical eyes, and visiting
other realms of existence. A number of experiencers have reported seeing a cord connecting the two bodies. This is apparently
what the Bible refers to as the silver cord:
Remember himbefore the silver cord
is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or
the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the
spirit returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
It is believed to be the severance of this
cord, the etheric counterpart of the umbilical
cord, that results in actual physical death.
Thus, the NDEr who returns to physical life
after being out of body has not had the cord
severed.
The early NDE research gave hope to
many people who needed more than the
blind faith offered by religion that consciousness lives on after physical death, or, to put it
another way, that we are not all marching toward the abyss of nothingness or total extinction. It restored the meaning to life that science had taken away. Moreover, the lessons
coming from the NDE, especially the life review, provided a more intelligent and just
meaning than that offered by orthodox religion, suggesting that we judge ourselves
and take a station in the next life based upon
the spiritual body built here. But mainstream
science wanted nothing to do with the resurrection of such superstitious thinking. It rejected, refuted, repudiated, and resisted the
research, claiming that science had already
cleansed the world of such infantile ideas.
Chief among the arguments advanced by
the scientific fundamentalists is the oxygen
deprivation theory. In the January 29, 2007
issue of Time, Steven Pinker, a Harvard psychology professor, proclaimed that the NDE
is not the eyewitness report of a soul parting
company from the body but symptoms of oxygen starvation in the eyes and brain. However, Pinker did not explain how or why it is
that brains are programmed to have such
common and unusual hallucinations. One
would think that the hallucinations brought
on by oxygen starvation would be as diverse
as dreams or as in hallucinations triggered by
drugs.
Somewhat related to the oxygen deprivation theory is the dying brain theory, which
holds that the tunnel effect is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood
or by an otherwise collapsing brain.
Skeptical researchers have also suggested
that NDE hallucinations are caused by anesthesia, medication, or drugs, by mental insta-

Congo, 1909for which he refused to accept

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
t was in the year of 1919 that Londons

semi-secret Crimes Club enjoyed a talk
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on the subject of Crime and Clairvoyance. The
twelve distinguished members of the all-male
and highly exclusive club were connoisseurs
of crime, a dozen Sherlocks who, over cigars
and port, shared their insights on real-life
mysteries and villainies. Sir Arthuras
agreeable as his Dr. Watson and as perspicacious as his Holmescited cases in which a
trance-vision, a dream, or perhaps an instance of traveling clairvoyance, held the key
to an unsolved murder, or to a mysterious
disappearance. He went so far as to suggest
that every great police centre could and
should avail themselves of the best medium
that can be got, thus demonstrating to the
world one of the many practical benefits
given by psychic science to humanity.
Although forced (by fans) to resuscitate
the fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes,
from his fatal plunge into the Reichenbach
Falls in the Swiss Alps (The Final
Problem), Conan Doyle had better things to
do than tell tall tales of a reclusive and eccentric sleuths adventures in crime-solving. The
real world, problem-ridden and hungry for
answers, was calling; and Doyle, a goodnatured man, outspoken, approachable, and
immensely popular, was not unaware of his
personal charisma. Even his detractors
would admit that he was an influential
figure in many fields outside literature.
On friendly terms with the likes of Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G.
Wells, Lord Kitchener, Lloyd George,
Winston Churchill, Bram Stoker, as well as
the eras finest mediums and literati, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was knighted in 1902 for
his patriotism in the Boer War. Over the
same decades that the canny and controversial writer slowly but surely became a convinced spiritualistand indeed its heartiest
propagandist in modern timesthe Edinburgh-born Irishman had been a ships
doctor (on voyages to the Arctica jolly
timeand South Africa), a physician at
Southsea, England, as well as in the Boer
War; Deputy-Lieutenant of Surrey (1902) and
a nominee to Parliament; a great sportsman
and aficionado of billiards, cycling, boxing,
golf, football, rugby, soccer, bowling and
cricket (credited also as helping to introduce
skiing into Switzerland); official historian of
the Great Wars campaigns on the Western
Front; researcher in organic chemistry, criminologist (with an impressive library covering
the crime histories of many lands); poet,

champion of the underdog, defending both

Holmes, The Crooked Man
Born in May of 1859, Doyle became a

freethinker and lapsed Catholic even in his
schooldays: the foundations of the whole
Christian faithwere so weak that my mind
could not build upon them At the Jesuit
school to which he was sent, when Father
Murphy, a great fierce Irish priest, declare[d]
that there was sure damnation for everyone
outside the Church, I looked upon him with
horror. Early on, the future author and
evangelist of the spirit world, distanced himself from the worlds wooden creeds and
petrified religions. And to prove, if only to

himself, that he was no hypocrite, he would
not allow his influential relatives to recommend his medical practice to their church
connections. (His practice did suffer, but in
his spare time he began writing adventure,
gothic horror, and detective stories.) Warmhearted and conscientious, Doyle was nonetheless (according to a recent biographer)
more of a Christian, not being one, than
many who professed to the faith.
Organized religion would prove no less
daunting an opponent of Doyles than the
science stronghold; the churches, as he saw
it, were to the last degree formal and
worldly and material. They have lost all contact with the living facts of the spirit.
Railing at the Church of Englands narrow
and bitter attacks against mediums, he
chronicled affairs such as the high clergys

interference with press coverage of the 1872
St. Petersburg sances.
Yet even among the spiritualists themselves, Doyle stood apart, observing the silly
and petty inquiries of sitters entirely preoccupied [with] their grandmothers second
name or the number of their uncles; none
showing the least realization that with revelations from the Other Side, a firm foundation for religious belief could at last be laid.
Indeed, it was Sir Arthurs vision that the
new spiritualism was the grand religion of
the future, one which could usher in global
harmonywhereas the old religionshave
all been tried and all have failed. At least,
the movementcosmic and universal
might throw down some of the barriers
which stand between great sections of the
human race.
But, he argued, A religion to be true
must include everything from the amoeba to
the Milky Way. To Doyle, both medical man
and creative genius, there was no such thing
as a conflict between Religion and Science.
They were mirror images of the same thing.
There were no miracles, only laws of action
which have not yet been understood.
A miracle does not happen against nature, but against what we know about nature.
St. Augustine, City of God, XXI,8
Sherlock Holmes passion for definite

and exact knowledge (A Study in Scarlet) is
easily traced to his creator. The general view
that paranormal phenomena fly in the face of
science or rationalism made no sense to
Doyle, whose son Adrian regarded his father
as a man unequaled in powers of deductive

joining the Portsmouth Literary and Scientific Society. Then, starting in 1885, while
still a young doctor at Southsea, he began
sitting at the phenomenal sances held by
(the still controversial) General Alfred Wilks
Drayson (whose erudition helped form the
character Prof. Moriarty). But at the Drayson
Circle, Doyle frankly did not know what to
make of the table turning and strange apports that he witnessed. But by 1887, when
he was 28, his experience at mediumistic circles convinced him at last that intelligence could exist apart from the body

the vice-presidency of the Hampshire Psychical Society with Prof. William Barrett, Dr.

New Englands Mysterious Sun Temples

In Europe They Are Prized as Ancient ArtifactsWhy Not Here?

and structures are found from New
England west to Pennsylvania. If they
were found in England we would call
them cairns, barrow graves, dolmens and
standing stones, and university-led teams
would study their orientation to the sun,
moon and stars. In America we mostly ignore them or define them as piles, glacial erratics, anomalies or root cellars. They are
bulldozed to build roadways, developments
and parking lots, and even among tenured
professors, they are not discussed in polite
company. They do, however, remain in the
most odd places.
One is on the front lawn of the firehouse
in the town of North Salem, New York. It is
easily spotted along the road on Route 116 as
this dolmen, from the Breton word Stone

smaller stones that extend into the ground.
The area between the support stones forms a
triangle with a base that measures twice
what is called the megalithic yard. Although
this is an exact measurement first rediscovered researching the monuments in

England, the sign near the stone claims nature did this. Along the Atlantic coast in Brittany, France many dolmens are found. There,
the fact that man did this is not disputed.
Not far away, in the town of Poughkeepsie, is a large standing stone incorporated into a wall. In Breton it is called a
menhir, or long-stone. In New York, there
are several menhirs, mostly ignored. From
Portugal to the Orkney Islands of Scotland
such stones had meaning and were also used
to determine astronomical phenomena. Native Americans in America often used them
as meeting sites. There are many of these and
the numbers thin out as we head west. In
Pennsylvania it is difficult to actually find
one remaining standing stone although two

towns are named for these odd stones, both
near the Susquehanna River.
While these larger monuments get the
most attention, there are literally thousands
of pre-colonial structures in the southern
New York-New England area. Most are on
private property and among the homeowners
of New Yorks Putnam County, they are not
meant for tourists or hobbyists. These
smaller structures are stone-built chambers,
often with a large and very heavy lintel stone
over the entranceway. In both Europe and
America the stone lintel rests over a stone
pier, that is one stone on top of another, or a
monolithic stone post. Those who insist that
everything built in America was built by colonials call the chambers root cellars. There
are no stone chambered root cellars in England, so the colonials would have had to invent them in America. While they did build
straw and dirt-roofed cellars it is doubtful
they would have laid multi-ton lintels over
the doorways.

Startling New Evidence Shows

How the Ancient Egyptians
Sliced Up Their Stones
The Mega Saws

of the
Pyramid Builders
BY CHRISTOPHER DUNN
mmense in size and enigmatic in their

manifestation, the pyramids of Egypt
are a perennial source of speculation
and wonder. They have challenged the
minds of generations of engineers and scientists who marvel at their construction and
complexity of design.
In my discussions with fellow engineers
over the years, there has been no disagreement that what was created in ancient Egypt
is sophisticated to a point that would severely stretch modern capabilities. With all
our modern tools and technology, when visiting Egypt, why do engineers gape in awe at
what the ancient Egyptians accomplished?
Where are the answers to our questions
about how such miracles of stonework were
created? A prehistoric culture was empowered with a vision and genius to design and
build pyramids and temples that are miracles
of precisely tooled stonework of gargantuan
proportion. Surely they would not limit their
genius to conceiving only of the final
product. Doesnt it make more sense to accept the idea that such genius would and
could influence the design and building of
tools which, themselves, are equal in majesty
and truly reflect their capability?
There are no tools in the archaeological
record that cause us to gasp with the same
kind of awe that we feel when faced with the
miracles this civilization produced. No machine tools have been found to explain the
intricate and precise contours found on the
Giza Plateau and the temples in Upper
Egypt. No metrology instruments have been
uncovered to explain how ultra-flat surfaces
that were finished to optical precision were
maintained over hundreds of square feet of
surface area. We are

shown not-sosquare wooden
squares of dubious
efficacy in a museum
case and expected to
buy the academic
line, which flies in
the face of decades of
experience and
training, which
teaches that these
were the tools the
ancient Egyptians used to create square
corners.
Any craftsperson of substantial skill,
wielding only the tools that remain in the archaeological record, would be incapable of
recreating this stonework. This presents an
obstacle to understanding our past. The accepted conventional theory that all the remarkable finely crafted stonework in the pyramids and temples in Egypt was produced by
hand, using copper tools, stone pounders,
wooden hammers, wooden squares and
pieces of string is absurd. The theories have
been tested, with limited results, and they
have never replicated the more difficult aspects of Egypts accomplishments. Attempts
at shaping stone using dolerite hammers and
drilling holes using quartz sand-charged
copper have met with limited success. Those
who have engaged in these enterprises have
provided a service to our understanding.
This understanding is not about how the ancient Egyptians performed mechanical work,
but, rather, how they did not.
Nothing on this planet compares to the
Egyptian stonework. Studies need to be
made along the lines of Dr. Peter Lu of Yale
University who raises the prestige of ancient

have used compound machines 3,000 years
ago. His research is systematic, logical and
hard to refute.
Published in Science was circumstantial
evidence from which Dr. Lu inferred that
compound machines existed in China 3,000
year ago. He made this groundbreaking discovery while studying Jade burial rings (M1:
7 from Tomb 1 of the Chu minister at Henan
Xichuan Xiasi, 552 B.C.) that had been carefully inscribed with what appeared to be
equally spaced spiral grooves around its circumference. A simple camera and computeraided design program were the tools with
which Lu was able to draw this inference.
Replication of the spirals was performed by a
scribing tool guided by precise linear and rotational motion.
Employing the same methodology as Dr.
Lu, I am able to present evidence from a
sawn piece of granite that indicates it was cut
with a circular saw that is 35.9 feet (10.942
meters) in diameter. The marks left in the
granite indicate that such a saw was used to
cut the rock for building the 4th dynasty pyramid of Abu Rawash in Egypt. Because saws

with a fairly accurate picture of at least their
diameter, if not quite how they were driven
or from what materials they were constructed.
Before describing the evidence from Abu

With new evidence from Abu Rawash, we
now know that when tackling mammoth
projects in ancient Egypt, size mattered then
too. This evidence shows that when it came
to designing equipment that was up to the
job of pyramid building, nobody did it better
than the ancient Egyptians! While the TBMs
that bored through the English Channel
were 27 feet (8.2 m) in diameter, objective
evidence shows that the ancient Egyptians
used mega saws for cutting granite, limestone and basalt that may have exceeded 35
feet (10.9 m) in diameter!
We should not be surprised that a culture
able to conceive and build the largest and
most impressive structures on the planet did
not limit their superlative efforts to just the
building, but also the tools they used. The
ancient Egyptians created an abundance of
evidence from which methods of manufacture can be inferred. In 1883, Egyptologist
Sir William Flinders Petrie remarked on the
efficiency with which the ancient Egyptians
cut hard igneous rock and concluded that on
some artifacts circular saws must have been
used. A slice of diorite bearing equidistant
and regular grooves of circular arcs, parallel
to one another; these grooves have been
nearly polished out by crossed grinding, but
still are visible. The only feasible explanation
of this piece is that it was produced by a circular saw. While it is true that such rock
can be abraded and worn away using the application of copper, bone or wood and quartz
sand, or another rock, what was left unanswered in these modern studies, as with Petrie, was the diameter of the saws that were
used by the ancient Egyptians.
In March 2006, I visited the pyramid complex of Abu Rawash near Cairo where I found
some answers to Petries and my own questions regarding the diameter of saws used by
the Egyptians. Abu Rawash is located on a
limestone hill off the Alexandria Road about
five miles north of the pyramids at Giza. My
first impression was that compared to Giza it
was as unimpressive a site as I have seen, and
I didnt wonder why it was not on the list of
sites that most tourists visit. There is little
left of the pyramid and there are conflicting
opinions on how it came to its present state.
Some believe that the pyramid was never finished while others argue that it was subject
to a violent earthquake and was subsequently
stripped of its stone for other buildings.
There is substantial evidence, though, that
the design of this pyramid included the use of
granite, for whether taken off the pyramid
after a cataclysm or placed in line to be lifted
into place during construction, large granite
blocks can be seen scattered around and in
the remains of the pyramid structure.
As unimpressive, by comparison, as it
might have appeared upon approach, when I
left the site, my mind was racing with new
ideas about a piece of granite that I had
spotted from the pyramids truncated top,

POPULAR CULTURE
What Is the Meaning of the Superpower Myth?
BY LEN KASTEN
ts a very persistent myththis idea

that somehow humans can develop
super-powers. It seems to be part of the
mass subconscious, and various versions
of the concept pop up repeatedly in science
fiction comic books, television programs, and
movies. One has to be careful to differentiate
this concept of the super-human, or more familiarly, the superman from the manmachine version, more commonly known as
a cyborg, which myth has an equal resiliency,
especially lately (i.e., Iron Man). Typically,
when such a mythology refuses to go away, it
would seem to suggest that subconsciously
we are capable of much more than we have
been told. Certainly there is an innate intuitive conviction among large segments of the
population that such super powers may
really be possiblethat it is a truth that
simply hasnt yet been validated scientifically, yet. It might even be characterized as
a yearningan inexpressible and powerful
desire for humanity to be more than it is
today, allied with the belief that it can be accomplished. A corollary of this is the suspicion that somehow we have been held back
from this evolutionary next step by conspiratorial forces that seek to keep us under strict
controlthe idea that if we knew our real
potential, they would no longer be able to
remain in power.
Super Magic
This phenomenon may explain why stage
magicians are able to generate so much
public excitement. Those who view their
amazing feats start to think, in their innermost thoughts, that perhaps the illusions are
real because they want to believe that humans can develop such powers. For most of
the modern era, audiences applauded such
tricks in admiration of the magicians abilities, but always went away certain that it was
skill and not real magic. Lately, however,
they are not so sure. With the advent of
David Copperfield in the 1980s, and more recently David Blaine (who, on the Oprah Winfrey show, recently set the world record for
holding his breath17 minutes and 4 seconds), professional magic took on an entirely
different complexion, and a new age of super
magic began in which many observers became convinced that there were paranormal
abilities involved. Copperfield has performed
many astounding feats including going
through the Great Wall of China, making the
Statue of Liberty apparently disappear (mass
hypnosis?) and levitating over the Grand
Canyon, all live before huge television audiences. The Great Wall illusion was particularly impressive because he did get to the
other side of the Wall in minutes.
The latest superstar illusionist in the
tradition of Copperfield to emerge onto the
public stage is Criss Angel. Angel began his
career performing in an off-Broadway show
called Criss Angel Mindfreak in 1998 at the

age of 21. It ran for 600 performances. He
then moved up to television with a new expanded version of the show, keeping the
same name, on the cable A&E Network, premiering in July, 2005. Angels stunts on
Mindfreak are beyond sensational.
Like Copperfield, he apparently has the
ability to levitate, but has taken this phenomenon to new heights. In a scene videotaped
from all angles, in broad daylight, while his
fans shout and scream from below, Angel effortlessly floats from rooftop to rooftop
standing with arms extended, covering a distance of about 200 feet. And then, in what
may be the greatest feat ever accomplished
by an illusionist, Angel, invoking Jesus and
giving guttural shouts, floats high up into
the air from the pinnacle of the Luxor Hotel
Pyramid in Las Vegas at night, and hangs in
mid air for about 10 minutes waving his
arms, while floodlights from the hotel apex
illuminate the scene, a helicopter hovers
nearby, and hundreds of astonished, gaping
spectators watch from the street and other
hotels. But, in what many believe to be his
supreme achievement, perhaps because it
emulates a miracle performed by Jesus,

ANCIENT MYSTERIES
Mystery of the
Black Madonna
What Is the Secret of Her Enduring Appeal
Despite Rejection by Orthodoxy?
BY MARK AMARU PINKHAM
hroughout the ages the image of the

black madonna has elicited profound
veneration, but also intense trepidation and even abhorrence from its
observers. While Catholics have sought to
denigrate and even to shun the numerous
Black Madonnas scattered throughout their
own European churchesthe followers of
the older, nature-centered and alternative
faiths have traditionally praised its beauty
and uplifting power. In 1952 during a convention of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, representatives of
the church made their feelings clear when a
paper on the Black Madonna was presented.
Abruptly the attendant priests and nuns rose
and walked out in protest. The shocking disdain for the Black Madonna left reporters
scrambling for clues to this skeleton in the
(church) closet which the mere mention of
the Black Madonna had invoked. It has since
been speculated that paganistic origins for
the Black Madonna could have sparked such
surprising behavior, and more recently, with
the controversy stirred up by The Da Vinci
Code, it has been conjectured that it was
somehow connected to the forbidden secrets
of Mary Magdalene.
Members of the modern Knight templar
organization are free to speak and research
both the Black Madonna and Mary Magdalene, who is venerated as one of the organizations patrons. Wisdom regarding both
forms of the Goddess or female principle has
been passed down among templars for centuries. According to the archives of the International Order of Gnostic Templars
(www.GnosticTemplars.org), a division of
the Scottish Knight Templars, Templar history related to Mary and the Black Madonna
began with templar origins, when the
founder of the Rule, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, composed literally hundreds of songs
and sermons in honor of Mary Magdalene,
and even mobilized the second crusade from

Marys headquarters at Vezelay. But beside
Mary Magdalene, St. Bernard has also been
acknowledged to be a worshipper of the Goddess in her other forms, including that of the
Gnostic Sophia.
When Templars arrived in the Middle
East their Goddess education was furthered by the Goddess-worshipping Sufis, Islamic adepts who originally created Mecca as
a goddess shrine and later inspired the Moslems Goddess flag with its goddess-related
symbology of eight- or five-pointed stars and
crescent moons. These adepts were the guardians of a tradition that had been faithfully
preserved for thousands of years in the
Middle East. From them Templars learned
that beginning as far back as 4,000 BCE in
ancient Anatolia and Sumeria, the goddess
had been worshipped as Cybele, Inanna,
Ishtar, Astarte, and Artemisto name but a
few of her manifold personifications. But although Sufi indoctrination opened new
vistas for Templars, this wisdom was not entirely foreign to them. Templars had already
become familiar with some of the Goddesss
Middle Eastern manifestations back in
France. The image of Cybele had returned
from Asia many years previously with the
Roman legions and she had been enthusiastically adopted by the ancestors of Lyons as a
patroness. Artemis had similarly found a
home as patroness of Marseilles, and the
Egyptian Isis had been crowned Queen of
Paris. But even though her black images had
been part of French culture for many years,
it was not until their arrival in the Middle
East that Templars truly began to understand the essence of the Goddess.
The Sufis taught that the Goddess was actually the third person of the Catholic
trinity, the Holy Spirit, which was the power
that descended upon the apostles on the day
of pentecost. Templars also learned that as
the Holy Spirit the goddess could not only
bless us, but could also manifest all our
The Black Madonna of Chartres Cathedral
desires. She was the universal energy that

emanated from God and possessed the ability
to create, preserve, or destroy whenever
called upon. Her three powers were personified by her diverse images, some of which reflected her role as the beneficent Mother Nature, while others, especially in her more
grotesque forms, revealed her power to destroy. The Black Madonna was a reflection of
the Goddesss destructive power, but the Sufi
practitioners of yoga and alchemy also informed the templars that this power was benevolent since it could alchemically transform a seeker of wisdom into an enlightened
adept. It accomplished this evolution by destroying all the distorted concepts and egotistical predispositions that keep such a
person from knowing the intuitive secrets of
the universe that exist within his or her own
heart. Such intuitive wisdom, it was learned,
is known as gnosis.
The Sufis revealed that the worship of the
destructive/transformative power embodied
within the black image of the Goddess had,
over thousands of years, become commonplace in the Middle East. And they had been
specifically made by craftsmen to amplify
this force. The venerated Black Madonnas of
the East had been made of a dark or black
conductive and amplifying materialsuch as
a hard wood, stone or meteoritein order to
better transmit their power to their worshippers. A huge black meteorite had been the
original image of Cybele, just as it had been
for Aphrodite or Venus. Meteorites found
along the coast of Asia Minor had been

fairly well-established historical dates for the

abandoning the use of biblical chronology as

excavation of the grave of a 65million-year-old Mama T-Rex. The intact,

We can doubt this. This would be like the
biologists revising the mutation rate of mitochrondial DNA simply at the behest of paleontologists who insist that skeleton of the African Eve will certainly be found in the 1.8million-year-old early Pleistocene strata of
the earth. The mutation rate dictates that
there is a 200,000-year limit on the age of
this African Mother-Eve of our race, whatever geological layer her skeleton is discovered in. Likewise, there is a theoretical limit
to the longevity of protein, and it is not 65
million years (see Nature Reviews: Genetics,
May, 2001).
The Shaky Parameters of Age
The strange arrogance of the archaeological community in this Discovery epic is at
variance with the harsh truth underlying the
reigning scheme of dating the ages of the
earth the very scheme that supports the
ubiquitous statement that the dinosaurs died

purpose. Trilobites were considered very

early life forms. The rock strata (Cambrian)
in which they are found was given a certain
age, allowing a guess for the previous time
span needed to evolve trilobites. Since then,
various dating techniques have arisen, advancing earths age with scientific certainty
to 1.6 billion years in 1934, a certainty of 3.4
billion in 1947, and is now with certainty

fixed at 4.6 billion years. The time span of evolution from one species to another has thus
apparently been expanding as well. But due
to weaknesses in the dating methodologies,
and the simple difficulty of identifying some
particular strata (of the possible hundreds
in the column) under some lonely plain in
Montana, the use of index fossils to determine the kind of the layer (Cambrian, Silurian, etc.) has not
changed. The trilobite is found in the
Cambrian layer, and
this layer is (currently) 545 million
years old. And if we
ask, how do we know
it is the Cambrian
layer, the answer is:
By the fact that we
find trilobites in this
layer. This circularity does not bode
well for the soundness of the system.
Our carbon
dating technology is
powerless to reach
back 65 million
years. Carbon dating
is limited to organic
material, and due to the intrinsic half-life of
carbon at 5730 years, after ten half-lives
there will so little carbon as to be undetectable, limiting the effective range to about
50,000 years. (We now have organic material
for Mama T-Rex. It will be curious to see if
evolutionists really want to know her age via
carbon dating.) The method itself is beset
with difficulties in practice. Any object that
was subject to immersion in water is dated
as older than it actually is, for water leaches
out carbon, and the dating method relies for
its very logic on a predicted rate of carbon
decay, therefore a predicted amount remaining in a given chunk of carbon-bearing
matter after a certain time. Water leaching
destroys the predictability derived from this
logic. And water is a big part of cataclysms.
Other methods have proven equally at
risk. A very deep layer called the Cardenas
Basalt in the Grand Canyon is measured by

three different methods at .7 billion years,
1.1. billion years, and 1.7 billion yearsa
minor discrepancy of 1 billion years. A recent lava flow layer on top of the canyon, at
best thousands of years old, is also dated at
1.1 billion. The radiometric dating methods
responsible for these dates rest on a decay
process and assumptions now becoming ever
more complex. When the atoms of the nucleus are excited, decay is much quicker,
making things look vastly older. Cataclysms
on a vast scale involve high energies that
could easily alter radiometric clocks. The
most heavily used method, potassium-argon
(K-Ar), rests on the assumption that the
daughter of potassium decay, namely argon,
is dissipated away from the rocks of a lava
flow at the time of their formation, before
the decay process being measured begins.
This argon reset to zero assumption has become increasingly questionable. Anomalies
such as dating a 1801 Hawaiian lava flow at
1.2 million years, or 1972 Mt. Etna basalt at
150,000 years, or the new lava dome of
Mount St. Helens at 350,000 years, occur
regularly.
Meanwhile, hanging over the head of the
park rangers of the canyon and their picturesque story, is the new consensus on the origins of the Scablands of Eastern Washington. The Scablands look suspiciously like
a mini-version of the canyon in areas. There
are gorges with layers just like the canyon.
Its formation too was once vigorously held
(against the cataclysmic view of J. Harlen
Bretz) to require many millions of years. But
the Scablands, the newly reached consensus
says, were created at the end of the last Ice
Age, perhaps 12,000 years ago. They were
created when a gigantic ice dam, over a mile
high, holding back the waters of the Ice Age
Lake Missoula in Canada, burst, sending a
massive volume of 500 cubic miles of water,
rushing south. The Scablands were created
in a virtual instant of geologic time, in several repetitions over, at best, two thousand
years. The Scablands were created by gigantic water flows.
Water flow. The physics of massive water
flow, where the water is carrying huge volumes of silt, gravel and debris, demonstrates
that the material is laid down in layers! The
layers are based on different densities of material. And as the materials dry, they form
the distinctive layers that look exactly like
the layers of the geologic column. And the
animal life tend to be deposited in the layers
that befit their ability to escape. The trilobites, bottom dwellers and slow, tend to be
on the bottom. But fish, more agile beings,
tend to be on higher layers such as the Silurian (425 million years), except for sometimes when caught by underwater avalanches and trapped in lower layers, such as
the agnathan fish found in the lower Cambrian layer recently in China. Since evolution is now a vast presupposition, such findings cause only infinitesimal consternation
in the evolutionary mindset, even though

Atlantis of the Pacific?

The Mystery of Nan Madol Remains Entirely Unexplained
BY DAVID H. CHILDRESS
ne of the greatest archaeological

sites in the world lies off the coast of
the remote Micronesian island of
Pohnpei, yet the city is largely unknown. The gigantic city of Nan Madol, probably the eighth wonder of the world, continues to baffle archaeologists, and may
contain evidence for the lost continent of
Mu.
Built out of magnetized basalt crystals,
some weighing up to 50 tons, this city contains over 250 million tons of prismatic basalt stacked up in artificial islands and structures over an 11 square mile area. Nan Madol
is built onto a coral reef and much of the city
is underwater! Natives claim that conventional explanations for the construction do
not work and that the methods used include
brute force and magic.
Many times over the years I have visited
the awe-inspiring city with its 40-foot high
walls and gone by boat through the spacious
ruins. The natives tell us how legend tells
them the stones were magically flown
through the air to be placed in the city.
Today it is a dead city, a city of spirits.
Pohnpei Island (formerly called Ponape)
lies about 1600 kilometers northeast of New
Guinea, and is the capital of the newly independent Federated States of Micronesia. On
the southeast corner of this small volcanic
island lies an immense megalithic stone city,
28 square kilometers in size, called Nan
Madol. The city is impressive by any standards and even more remarkable when one
considers that many of the inhabitants of the
island today live in grass huts.
No one knows who built this city, when it
was built, how it was built, or why it was
built. The bones of humans who are much
larger than the Micronesians who live there
now have been excavated at Nan Madol.
Nan Madol is one of the real archaeological mysteries of the world. Known as the
Venice of the Pacific since it was first discovered by Europeans in the early 1800s, the
huge stone city is built out onto a coral reef
and is intersected by artificial canals. There
are 90 to 100 artificial islets in Nan Madol
Central, an area of approximately 2.5 square
kilometers, each created out of giant basalt
logs, weighing about 20 tons each. Some of
the rocks in the structures on the islets
weigh up to 50 tons with walls 30 feet (10 m)
high. There are tunnels connecting the
larger islands.
Nan Madol is steeped in scientific controversy and legend. The word Pohn-pei
The ruins of Nan Dowas
means on an altar, and Nan-Madol

means the spaces between, indicating the
canalsor spaces between the artificial islands. One of the first archaeologists to collect data and artifacts at Nan Madol was the
German-Pole, Johann Stanislaus Kubary.
Kubary had four native wives, whom he kept
on different islands in the Carolines. He
loaded a ship with precious relics that he
had dug up in the 1870s from Nan Madol,
but the ship sank somewhere in the Marshall
Islands, losing everything. Kubary committed suicide a few years later on Pohnpei
when one of his native wives left him for another man. Kubary wrote a valuable early
manuscript on the history of Nan Madol
which passed to the hands of a native Ponapean family (presumably his wifes family),
who kept it as an heirloom until it was accidentally burned in the 1930s, to be lost forever.
The German archaeologist Dr. Paul Hambruch did some of the best work at Nan
Madol at the turn of the century. Much of
what is known today comes from Hambruchs work, and he was the first person to
take notice of tales of sunken cities and suggest that a sunken city lay around Nakapw
Island, near Nan Madol.
The Japanese administered the islands
after World War I, taking them over from
the Germans. They did extensive work on
the ruins, including the supposed finding of
the sunken city and platinum coffins (there

was never any real indication that these artifacts were coffins, even if they existed). Little
is known about the Japanese discoveries at
Nan Madol, as most of the records were presumably lost or destroyed in the war.
An incredible account of the discovery of
platinum coffins is given in the book Der
Masslose Ozean (The Measureless Ocean) by
Herbert Rittlinger, published in Stuttgart,
Germany, 1939. Rittlinger was a German
writer who traveled the world and wrote
books about his journeys. He was quite wellknown in Germany, but none of his books
have been translated into English as far as I
know. Der Masslose Ozean is about his sojourns and researches into the Pacific. Like
many travelers before him, Rittlinger was
very intrigued by Nan Madol.
Erich von Daniken quotes from Rittlingers book in his Gold of the Gods and
says that Rittlinger learned while on Pohnpei
that it was a brilliant and splendid center of
a celebrated kingdom that had existed there
untold millennia ago. The reports of fabulous
wealth had enticed pearl divers and Chinese
merchants to investigate the seabed secretly
and the divers had all risen from the depths
with incredible tales. They had been able to
walk on the bottom on well-preserved streets
overgrown with mussels and coral. Down

ANCIENT MYSTERIES
BY FRANK JOSEPH
he great H. P. Lovecraft, successor to

Edgar Allan Poe, achieved early fame
with his 1921 story, The Nameless
City. It tells of Abdul Alhazarad, an
Arab scholar whose quest for the secrets of
black magic led him into a remote, forbidding area of the Sahara Desert. There, he
stumbled upon an ancient city unknown to
the outside world, a center for sorcery and
witchcraft, inhabited by djinni and afreets,
the ghouls and demons of Semitic folklore.
Passing through the dark streets and
among the lofty columns of Iram, as the
gloomy city was known to its residents, he
entered the temple of their patron deity,
Cthulhu, a satanic figure. The high priest in
attendance entrusted him with a thaumaturgic tome, the Al Azif. But translating its
horrific text into Latin as the Necronomicon
proved too much for Abdul, and he went
raving mad before completing his task.
While most readers assume The Nameless
City was an entirely original creation of
Lovecrafts fertile imagination, he actually
based it on ancient Arab oral accounts. Bedouin myth described Iram of the Pillars
(Iramu dat al-`imad) as a large, deeply prehistoric metropolis built after the great flood by
a race of giants, the Ahd-al-Jann, in an uninhabitable area of the Arabian Peninsula
known as the Rub-el-Khali, or Empty

Quarter. The city was said to have been a
headquarters for the muqarribun, Ghost
Priests of a profane, pre-Islamic cult. They
worshiped Khadhulu (Lovecrafts Cthulhu),
mentioned as a devilish conception in the
fragmentary Al-Khaddif manuscript, which
became the short story authors Al Azif.
Iram was also uncommonly rich, thanks
in large measure to its trade in al-luban
the milkan aromatic resin taken from
the bark of bosellia trees for the production
of costly perfumes sought after by wealthy
clients, and used in sacred rituals. Prized by
the ancient Romans as olibanum for temple
ceremonies, the substance, no longer available in Europe after the collapse of classical
civilization cut trading ties with the outside
world, was reintroduced sometime thereafter
by the Franks, from which its modern name,
frankincense, derived. From early medieval
times, it was an integral part of Christian
church services in large measure because alluban had always been associated with the
banishment of evil influences.
But its alleged purgative powers were inadequate to rid Iram of its muqarribun,
djinni and afreets, even after Hud, a virtuous
prophet, had been sent by God to convert the
residents from their wicked ways. As punishment, Allah afflicted them with a horrible
drought, then caused a disastrous sandstorm
to engulf the entire city. When the catastrophic whirlwind passed, the formerly
splendid urban center had vanished without
a trace beneath the sands of the empty
quarter. Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt
with the Ahd-al-Jann of the city of Iram, possessors of lofty buildings, asked the author
of the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Fajir 89 189:14),the like of which were not produced
in all the land? Therefore your Lord let down
upon them a portion of his chastisement.
The sinful city was supposed to have been
swallowed whole by the desert.
Until the time Lovecraft wrote The Nameless City and for most of the remaining decades of the 20th century thereafter, Iram was
regarded as an entirely legendary place. But
its mythical status did not prevent other authors from writing about it. Lovecrafts literary predecessor, Washington Irving, described Iram in The Legend of the Arab
Astrologer, part of his Tales of Alhambra, as
a dream metropolis accessible only to
sleepers, but disappears as soon as they exit
through its gates. Frank Herberts version of
the city surfaces in his Children of Dune as
the accursed sietch of Jacurutu, and an antagonist in Weaverworld, by Clive Barker,
discovers Iram, which magically rises from
the ruins into its former glory. Even Kahlil
Gibran, the third best-selling poet in history
after Shakespeare and Lao Tse, wrote a play

story of Iram had been introduced to the
West in translations of the famous Thousand and One Nights.
Despite its universally accepted nonexistence, Iram clearly exerted a powerful
hold on the minds of mythographers from
ancient to modern times. In 1968, however, the mists of legend began to coalesce
into archaeological reality when Paolo
Matthiae and his colleagues from the University of Rome La Sapienza, digging at an
unidentified site at Tell Mardikh, in Syria,
less than 35 miles southwest of Aleppo, excavated a statue dedicated to the Babylonian
goddess Ishtar. Its base was inscribed with
the words, Ibbit-Lim, King of Ebla, a city
that had vanished no less thoroughly than
Iram. Ebla, though, had been known to exist,
because it was occasionally cited by dynastic
Egyptian and Akkadian bureaucrats.
Throughout the 1970s, the Italians retrieved some 15,000 well-preserved cuneiform tablets that confirmed Tell Mardikh as
the location for ancient Ebla. Because about
eighty percent of the texts were Sumerian,
archaeo-linguists were able to effectively
translate the remainder written in the language of the city residents Eblaite, a West Semitic dialect. The structure in which the tablets were originally housed had not been a
palace library, as originally suspected, but
rather a scriptorium, where apprentices
made copies of original documents shelved

ASTROLOGY
Sign Language
Exploring the Enduring Meaning in the Zodiac

BY JULIE LOAR
he practice of Astrology dates back

thousands of years, and the perceived relationship between what
happens in the sky and a resulting
resonance on Earth remains perennial. Humanity has long observed the changing and
recurring patterns in the sky, correlating
these in terms of meaning in the lives of individuals and collectives. Astrological records
date back to 1645 BCE in Babylon, and the
earliest horoscope dates to 410 BCE. Astrologys origins can also be traced to several
other cultures, including Egypt, which developed sophisticated calendars and sky
watching traditions. Astrology was also popular in Greece, where Ptolemy authored influential astrological and astronomical texts,
and in Rome, where many learned scholars,
including two emperors, wrote laws and
counseled citizens based on the stars.
Signs and Seasons
Every year the Earth makes a full circle
around the Sun. Earths orbital motion
causes the Sun to appear to move in a path
that is called the ecliptic. Astronomically the
Zodiac is a circular band of sky, eight degrees
above and below the ecliptic, which contains
the familiar constellations from the Ram to
the Fishes. Temporally the Zodiac is a division of time based on our motion relative to
the Sun which has the four main divisions of
the seasons, the so-called Cardinal Points of
the year, which are the equinoxes and solstices, as primary anchors.
Symbolically, the Zodiac is a cycle of experience which provides the template of evolution through which Earth receives the influences of the Sun and planets. This circle of
the year is separated into twelve equal divisions which represent successive phases of
experience. The Zodiac signs have been described like stained glass windows which
color the solar and planetary influences.
Ancient cultures drew meaning from the
stars. Egyptian temple axes, and megalithic
monuments around the world, were aligned
with bright stars and constellations.
Cultures also related to the part of the sky
which provided the stellar stage relative to
where they lived. People in northern latitudes watched the circumpolar stars overhead. If a civilization lived where an unobstructed view of the horizon was available
their orientation was directed toward the
ecliptic. Cultures in the southern hemisphere looked to the opposite pole and the
different stars which appeared in southern
skies. Southern stars offers a different stellar
canvas so the myths and star lore tell different stellar stories.
But Earths relationship to the stars
changes slowly over time due to Precession,

an apparent backward motion which astronomers believe is caused by a wobble of our
planets axis. So some calendars and prevailing astrological systems have shifted to a
solar or seasonal orientation.
Test of Time
What makes Astrology work is difficult to
explain, as occult tradition holds that this ancient discipline actually operates beyond the
third dimension in the realm of the fourth,
fifth and sixth. Our science has not ventured
very far into those dimensional realms, although Quantum Physics is blazing new
trails. That astrology does work is evidenced
by its continued existence for thousands of
years. Science really doesnt understand how
gravity or electricity work either, but we
know they do.
From the spiritual perspective of astrology we are eternal souls who move
through time and space on the wheel of existence. In this light we first circle around the
outer perimeter of the Zodiac where our experiences occur in the mundane realm. To
admittedly oversimplify, this boils down to
questions of love and money. At some point
however, symbolically in the sign of Capricorn, we turn inward. We then move toward
the center of the wheel where the energies of
the six pairs of opposite signs become balanced and blended. Lifes lessons then become more spiritual in nature and our responses yield a synthesis of meaning rather
than the antithesis of getting, or not getting,
what we desire in the material world.
The twelve signs of astrology are organized into four elements, or phases of expression, and three ways these elements act:
initiating, consolidating or alternating. Ancient Chinese and Hindu systems are organized in the same manner using different vocabulary. Four elements express in three
modes to produce twelve signs which are
linked in time to the seasons or cardinal
points of the year. The first six signs are personal and the second six are collective, and
we have all of these components in our horoscopes in varying degrees. According to alchemical sequence the elements are Fire,
Earth, Air and Water, and the modes are Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. The elements form
triangles of energy and the modes become
squares or crosses of movement. These combine and create the basic energetic signature
of the signs.
Esoterically every sign is said to trigger
influences in the sign which follows, resulting in Effects in the material world. Each
sign also reacts to the energies of the one
preceding, releasing energy which radiates
through the circumference of the zodiac in
successive waves.
Zodiac Signs
Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign which begins
at spring equinox in the northern hemisphere. The quality of Aries is the outrushing
force of spring emerging out of the collective
dissolution of the twelfth sign Pisces. Aries
is irresistible force and represents the principles of resurrection and individualization and
the symbolic point where the wheel begins.
Aires is represented by the ram, and its energy tends to be pioneering, initiating, headfirst, impulsive and adventurous. Slowing
down to make a prudent choice can be difficult.
Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign and embodies the principle of pure substance.
Taurus is the matrix which absorbs the impact of the energy projected outward by
Aries. Energy is action. Matter is reaction. Alchemically the matter of Taurus is precipitated from the water of Pisces (the twelfth
sign), by the fire of Aries. The nature of
Taurus, symbolized by the bull, expresses
stability and permanence and the path involves cultivating higher values versus
seeking purely material motives. Taurus natives tend to be builders and sustainers and
rarely act without reflection.
Gemini is a Mutable Air sign which embodies the principle of motion. The energy of
the third sign is the result of the irresistible
force impinging on the immovable object.
Spinning motion on an axis is the result.
Geminis expression is to adjust and adapt in
an ever-wider collection of data and search
for meaning. Learning to tame the mind is
their quest. Geminis are curious and social,
desiring to make connections and form relationships, and they are rarely still.
Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign which
marks the summer solstice and adds the
powerful quality of emotion to the mental
nature of the preceding sign. Cancer acts like
the womb and is the Universal Mother principle, providing the vessel from which all
forms are born. Cancer energy is highly instinctual, nurturing and protective, making a
home and building emotional connections.
Learning to stabilize and steady the emotions
is the path of Cancer.
Leo is a Fixed Fire sign which adds the
element of fire and brings about the process
of individuation. Leo energy is creative and
proud, loyal, loving and eager to display
prowess. Leos see themselves as the creative

center of their circle of influence and need to
cultivate the quality of personal spiritual dominion, not ruling over others. Leo radiates
light and warmth and must learn loving detachment which springs from an understanding heart.
Virgo is Mutable Earth and brings the
idea of differentiated matter into forms that
become highly specialized. At this phase of
the Zodiac matter becomes organized and
plans can be carried out in detail. Virgos
have a highly developed sense of discrimination and tend to be technical in nature and
can be overly critical. Virgo energy is suited
to facts and figures but is generally also
oriented to service. Virgos often struggle
with an impossible quest for perfection
which can lead to a sense of inferiority.
Libra is Cardinal Air which holds the
place of autumn equinox. Libra embodies
balance and the principle of equilibrium
which results from the interaction of Leo and
Virgo, a marriage of spirit and matter. Libra
energy seeks to harmonize and is inclined toward cooperation, compromise and partnership, bringing potential problems from
trying to be all things to all people. Libras
seek the mirror and lessons of relationship
but can have difficulty standing up for themselves as they sometimes try to maintain
peace at any price.
Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign which represents the idea of dynamic power. This energy can be used in construction or destruc-
tion, death or resurrection, and is characterized by great intensity. In Scorpio we are

dealing with issues of power, temptation relating to the use of power, discipline and an
urge for emotional control. Scorpios are reserved, and more happens internally than
what is expressed on the surface. This is a
path of regeneration of the desire nature,
and an orientation toward service releases
the coiled energy in a positive manner.
Sagittarius is Mutable Fire and embodies

the idea of illumination which results from
the joining of balanced power in the two
prior signs. Sagittarius energy is philosophical in nature, seeking wisdom and an understanding of first principles. While Gemini
tends to gather information Sagittarius looks
for wide and varied experiences which will
ultimately lead to spiritual understanding.
The path of Sagittarius is learning the patterns which lie at the root of our problems
and challenges.
Capricorn anchors the winter solstice and
combines the principles of Cardinal Earth. In
Capricorn matter organizes itself into perfect forms. Capricorn represents the crystal-
lization of matter into the Father principle

and is the opposite sign to Cancer, the
Mother. Capricorns energy is governing and
conserving, focused on achievement, integrity, recognition and responsibility. Capricorns are fueled by tremendous ambition,
and their lessons stem from learning the motive which underlies their drive to climb.
Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign where the unfolding sequence now expresses in group
consciousness which is unified by a common
ideal. Aquarius looks for truth in all things
and desires to unite with others on a universal level. Aquarians are forward thinking
and they can be mental pioneers. However,
this energy is mentally fixed so Aquarians
can also rebel at the status quo or object in
principle to structures which dont seem to
work, or appear to them to be outmoded.
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign and can be
seen as the universal solvent which both dissolves the boundaries of separation created
by all the preceding signs and creates the
fluid environment in which the seeds of a
new cycle can germinate. In Pisces the sorrows and joys of others are keenly felt and
this is the sign where compassion is born.
More than any other sign Pisces must lose a
sense of the personal self in service to something higher. Pisces contains the knowledge
of the underlying unity of all things which is
the reality behind the world of manifested
forms.

he quest to expand
our individual consciousness
can
often take us in
surprising directions. Here
are three DVDs that alternatively take us beneath the
sea, into the past and into
the universe.
DARK SECRETS OF
THE BLACK SEA: Uncovering the Roots of
Early Civilization
Dr. Elliott H. Haimoff,
Director
Ancient legends from
Greece and Russia describe
the time when the rising
world ocean, at the end of
the Ice Age, entered the
Black Sea to connect it
with the Mediterranean
Sea. So, what does mainstream science say about
this? When did the Ice Age
actually end to cause the
infilling of the old Black
Sea, a huge, inland freshwater lake; and what does
the geology and archaeology of the Black Sea region say about the timing
and impact on the civilizations there at the end of the
Ice Age? Was it the flood of
Noah? The answers may
surprise you, and you may
or may not agree with
those answers, but you
should enjoy the interviews
with researchers, scientists,
archaeologists, and the
most credible Black Sea authorities in the world today, including the
following, among others: Professor William
Ryan of Columbia University; Professor Petko
Dimitrov of the Bulgarian Institute of Oceanography, Dr. Todor Dimov of the Dobrich Archaeological Museum in Bulgaria, Dr. Victor
Chabai of the Crimean Institute of Archaeology, Dr. Malcolm Whitehead of the Wetlands Center International, Dr. Sergei Golovin of the Institute of Science and
Apologetics in the Ukraine, and author,
James Nienhuis (Ice Age Civilizations).
Nienhuis has also been involved in the
production of the documentary, Ice Age CivSee Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
ilizations as well as Atlantis: Secret Star

Mappers of a Lost World. His thesis is that
the Ice Age ended much later than popularly
believed, causing the flood, and he tells of an
ancient legend that comes from an island
just south of the Black Sea, Samothrace.
This legend says that Samothrace was part
of the Greek mainland, but when the sea
level began to rise, the terrified people ran to
higher ground. This was during the time of
Dardanus (namesake of the Dardanelles
Strait) who took sail, and his son founded
Troy. It was at this time that the Aegean Sea
connected to the Black Sea. Now, Dardanus,
according to ancient Greek

historians, lived around
1500 B.C.; he did not live in
8000 B.C. So we have to
look hard for a much later
end of the Ice Agein historical times, at the end of
the old Bronze Age. There
was a huge climate change
across the world. The
middle latitudes dried out;
the ice packs disappeared;
and sea levels roseat the
time
of
Dardanus
approximately 1500 B.C.!
Neinhuis further states
that the Ice Age can only
be explained, hydrologically, by warmer ocean
temperatures which induced great evaporation to
form the dense cloud-cover
for the Ice Age; and that
warmer water by only
heating from the ocean
floor would have induced
the
negative
feedback
mechanism of more clouds
to cool the atmosphere
back down. This is just his
thesis, of course, and not
everyone agrees.
Then we have Professor
Ryan adding this to the
mix: Controversy swirls
today around the Black
Seas ancient history and
the reality of the flood. The
flood is a hypothesis, a
working hypothesis. We
think it explains the bulk of
the observations, but it
could be nullified tomorrow. So controversy
has been extremely good
for science, and good for
the Black Sea, and I relish controversy because it stimulates new thinking.
Other issues explored include the evidence of some long, lost civilizations on the
now submerged shoreline of the old Black
Sea and some other sites that are occasionally visible at low-tide conditions below the
surface near the breakwater. And then theres
the unusual, often poisonous chemical reactions and strange, otherworldly physical
properties of the Black Sea.
Professor Ryan brings up the fact that the
Black Sea is anoxic, that its bottom water is
poisonous. He explains, The interface with >
Number 70 ATLANTIS
RISING 51
VIDEOS & DVD

its oxygen-rich layer and its poisonous water
today is about nine meters at the center of
the Black Sea. When the anoxic level gets
shallow enough that it gets into the level of
sunlight, photosynthetic bacteria appear that
produce purple pigmentation. This purple
pigmentation is in the Black Sea cores,
which means that the Black Seas poisonous
water had been very close to the sea surface;
it could have been exposed by big storms to
poison the surrounding lands at the time of
the early Cimmarians in Mesopotamia.
Salt water from the rapidly rising world
ocean came in contact with the brackish
water of the old Black Sea inland lake. Additional poisonous deposits were found
clinging to the ancient ruins in upper Mesopotamia, clearly indicating that the old Black
Sea infilling at the end of the Ice Age was
concurrent with the epoch of several ancient
civilizationsMesopotamians,
Greeks,
Scythians, Thracians, and Cimmarians.

SPIRIT OF THE SERPENT: An

Exploration of Earth Energy - A Team
of Experts Come Together
Written, Directed and Produced by Tim
Walter
This DVD explores the earth energy of an
enigmatic, neolithic stone circle in Cornwall,
England, known as The Merry Maidens,
similar to many found all over the western
tip of England. A team of experts came together to unravel the mysteries of energy,
folklore, and mans connection to nature.
The common myth of these stones was
that these were the maidens who were
turned to stone for daring to dance on
Sunday.
The team is made up of:
Hamish MillerA dowser, metal
sculptor, author, and world-leading expert
on earth energy. Hes been on TV and radio
and lectured in Europe, America, Australia,
New Zealand, and South Africa.
Jim LyonsWorks in a research capacity
at York University. He holds degrees in
physics and engineering, and as a member of
the British Society of Dowsers, he undertakes research into the geo- and bio-physics
of earth energies, with particular interest in
the mechanism of dowsing based on
quantum ideas and consciousness.
Ba RussellHas spent 30 years as a prac-
ticing physical therapist and healer. For the

past two decades, she has worked in the field
of dowsing and earth energy, with particular
interest in its effects on the environment.
Julie SoskinA sensitive; author of six
books, researching her Ph.D. in psychospiritual studies.
Rupert SoskinOriginally qualified in art
and design, but has spent his life studying
the natural world. Currently spends much
time leading walking parties to explore mans
relationship with the earth and nature.
Hamish Miller has personally gone
through many extraordinary, life-challenging
episodes, among them a near-death experience, which he shares in detail in this production. It led him to become a dowser and
he uses his dowsing expertise to research the
complex fields of earth energy. Miller even
gets hooked up with electrodes to measure
the patterns of his brain as he goes into a
dowsing mode.
Youll join these people for two days of research that produces some intriguing information. They set up several experiments
one aimed at measuring the energy coming
from the stone circle; another to measure
the effect on the participants of the energy
coming from the circle; and a third one to
measure how people learn to dowse, to
measure the brainwave reaction of the result
of dowsing.
this number, but he

does. What Ive done
recently, he says, is
analyze the geophysics
of the earth in terms
of magnetic field and
gravitational field.
When you start to look
at the balance between
the energies, a characteristic length comes
out of these equations,
and that length is precisely 2.72 feet.
This film is a convincing blend of science and metaphysics
in a very professional
documentary.

Jim Lyons interest in ancient sites began

in his childhood. He lived near Stonehenge
and as a schoolboy he was able to cycle
around Avebury. When he later entered the
academic world, he realized that much he
had been doing for many years actually tied
in quite well with his hobby. In the last ten
years especially, he had become very interested in consciousness, an interest now
shared by many of his colleagues in the
world of physics. Its that aspect that encouraged him to bring together his dowsing interest and modern science. Lyons contribution to this documentary is substantial.
Lyons points out that all the numbers associated with the alignments of stones are related to the platonic solids of Greek geometry
and that one can derive many angles from
that, and all are found in stone circles. He
observed that the dowsing was producing a
pattern that followed a very precise mathematical rule called the geometric series. The
argument is, this, clearly found in earth energies. The measurement of 2.72 feet reminds him of the story of Alexander Thom,
an engineer and Cambridge professor who
had analyzed approximately 900 stone circles
throughout the U.K. Thom discovered that
the number came up over and over, and he
called it the megalithic yard. The academic
world, says Lyons, doesnt really believe in
THE VOICE Humanity is about

to make a quantum
leap!
David Sereda
A quote from Einstein aptly states what
this film is about:
Science without
religion is lame. Religion without science
is blind. It is Seredas
belief that in the
merging of science
and religion, we can
hear the voice of a
new kind of wisdom
that will not threaten our view of God, but
will only deepen our understanding.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on
August 21, 1961, David Sereda later became
a U. S. citizen when his family moved to California. His first aspiration was to become an
astronaut. He kept a scrapbook of every
Apollo mission while growing up in Berkeley
and San Francisco in the 1960s. Sometime
in 1968, while walking home from elementary school, he and a friend saw a large,
classic, disc-shaped UFO hovering in a clear,
blue sky. Hundreds of other witnesses,
shouting with excitement in the streets,
were pointing upwards in utter amazement.
After 20-30 minutes, David said he saw it literally disappear in one second into an invisible dimension, a subject that would take
him until the year 2000 to understand. He
grew up as a UFO enthusiast, never doubting
the phenomena that has swept the world
since the Roswell incident in 1947. His interest in space, religion, philosophy, astronomy, and science led to his career in related fields. He has
worked in high
technology, on environmental and humanitarian issues, and as a professional photographer for over 20 years. He has studied world
religion, science, physics, and paranormal
psychology for over 25 years.

In his filmmaker role, Sereda has produced films relating to his role as ufologist.
In this production, however, he directs a new
kind of film about spiritual physics, science
consciousness and the search for authentic
enlightenment. Explored are the mystical experiences of ordinary and extraordinary
people, religious and
non-religious, as well as
scientific revolutions and
breakthroughs and what
science is discovering
about the human aura.
From the auras of
atoms, DNA, plants and
humans, Sereda comments, we explode into
the auras of planets, the
great spheres, stars and
the cosmic beyond all
the way to the big sphere
or field of God consciousness. We explore
how these great spheres
actually exist in science
and how consciousness
accesses the fields to
gain greater knowledge
and transcend all suffering. We meet the
great enlightened masters of the past and the
masters of today to find
out how to get our small
limited aura to expand
into these greater fields
to gain true insight,
knowledge and wisdom
so that humanity can attain true success and evolution. To quote Einstein once again, The
field is the only reality.
When he discovered
spooky action at a distance, he even found
that the field is alive,
that consciousness pervaded it.
Its Seredas belief that artists, scientists,
musicians, poets and all human beings can
attain true success by gaining access to the
greater fields and learning how to meditate;
for it is in the fields that we get true knowledge for any question we have, including the
cure for cancer and the answer to nonradioactive nuclear fusion. By deepening our
understanding of reality in any given career
or field, we can become more successful in
our lives. This happens in everything from
career and finance to relationships. This is
because we gain greater knowledge of how
the universe and the physics of the soul
works.
Here are some questions he tries to
answer:
Has quantum physics discovered a
united field called singularity?
Is consciousness encoding our atoms
and DNA with a code that causes suffering,
war, cellular aging, disease, and death?

Can the code be broken so we can attain
liberation? What is the code breaker?
Can the voice of our mind affect and cocreate our reality?
Can science prove that our inner voice
can transmit and receive verifiable information?
Can the voice of consciousness demonstrate authority over matter?
Can consciousness be stored in atoms?

Can the voice of the collective mind
alter the course of a hurricane and the future
of humanity?
Can science and spirituality prove an intelligent universe for the first time in history, proving the universe was self-aware at
the time of the Big Bang?
What is the enlightenment of the saints
of all religions?
What will humanity gain when it can
access the truth stored in the atom?
Sharing his own experience of expanded
awareness that came to him through meditation, Sereda says that there is a consciousness to the solar system, as well as to the galactic rings. His DVD will take you around in
circles to help you find your own voice
within!

Once a working over-unity (more output

than can be accounted for by conventionally
known input) device is identified, it would be
enough of a lure for the scientists to take the
challenge and test it. Certainly, our goal is to
have scientists from all over the world
joining the foundation, since we expect similar devices to pop up in many parts of the
world once everybody gains confidence in
the foundations noble scope, fairness and
professional integrity.
The foundation would reward the successful inventor financially by giving a significant XS-NRG Prize, and also promote the
revolutionary technologies that prove to sig-
set up a foundation and publicize such a potentially world-changing inventor-prize campaign. In his spare time he runs a newenergy news site to educate the general
public that the unconventional energy research exists, and it is not just self deluded
pseudo-scientists or con-men, but a serious
quest by honest and highly trained, down to
earth, but open minded individuals.
When he began it in
2001, the web site
www.zpenergy.com was the
first open-access type of
news-portal dedicated to the
fuel-less energy topic. It has
been lightly moderated
only to keep postings on
topic. The site focuses on research and technologies related to what is called zeropoint or vacuum energy
with the intention of connecting inventors with those
who can help in one way or
another with bringing revolutionary technologies to
the marketplace.
Hundreds of news articles about alleged working
free-energy devices were
posted and commented on
ZPEnergy.com. Private correspondence and feedback
showed Vlad that many
more claims are out there,
but their inventors want to
or are forced to remain

expectations, or by overhearing medical personnel as the person is going in and out of
consciousness. Moreover, the whole NDE
phenomenon has been publicized enough
that it is difficult to know now if someone reporting such an experience has been preconditioned to imagine it.
The spiritual camp of the NDE has offered
the Pam Reynolds case as convincing evidence. During August 1991, Reynolds (a
pseudonym to protect patient privacy) was
operated on for a giant basilar artery aneurysm. Her body temperature was lowered to
60 degrees, her brain waves flattened, her
heart stopped, her breathing stopped and the
blood drained from her. By medical standards, she was dead. And yet, she later recalled watching parts of the surgery from
above. She recalled seeing a particular kind
of surgical instrument and hearing a comment that certain vessels were too small to
handle the flow of blood. She further remembered being met by some deceased relatives
after going down a dark shaft. An uncle took
her back through the tunnel as it was not yet

they had heard.
And so it goes with every NDE story.
There is always a could-a, would-a,
should-a or might-a connected with it,
and, of course, there is no way of replicating
the experience, a key element in scientific
validation. No doubt most of the researchers
coming up with theories to counter the spiritual implications of the NDE are sincere and
honest scientists who are in search of the
truth, but the debunkersoften closedminded journalists and bloggers pretending
to be skepticsmake the most of the ammunition they receive to completely muddy up
the waters and leave the public completely
befuddled.
Indeed, even Dr. Moody seems uncertain
these days. In his 1988 book, The Light Beyond, he wrote: In the absence of firm scientific proof, people frequently ask me what I
believe: Are NDEs evidence of life after life?
My answer is Yes.
Here, Moody was clearly making the distinction between proof and evidence. Evidence adds up to proof, but little, if anything,
in science is proved with absolute certainty.

in it and take it seriously. On the contrary,

they take my interest in these matters as evidence that Ive lost it or gone off the deep
end.
Grossman agrees with Dr. Kenneth Ring,
the NDE researcher mentioned above, that
the NDE is, in a way, subversive to the
American Dream, since the primary lesson
of the NDE is that we are here to seek knowledge and to grow in our ability to give and
receive love. This objective conflicts with the
goals of fame, riches, and hedonistic pleasures prevalent today.
I recently discussed the resistance of academia, where most NDE research is funded,
to survival evidence, including mediumship
and reincarnation, with Dr. Stafford Betty,
professor of religious studies at California
State University, Bakersfield, another maverick educator. His observations have been
much the same as Grossmans. My atheistic
friends resist even the slightest whiff of an
argument for an afterlife, Betty told me. I
have not seen more closed minds. Why is
this? Why would anyone resist such good
newsthe kind of news strongly supported
by serious, in-depth research on the NDE, for
example? I think I know. It is not so much
that my hard-bitten friends hate the thought
of living beyond death; what they hate is religion. And they associate religion with the
afterlife. It doesnt matter how hard you try
to convince them that the contemporary case
for afterlife is not based on sacred texts, but
on empirical studies conducted by wellcredentialed social scientists or doctors. It
doesnt matter. Their minds are set. Also, the
older generation (in their 70s and 80s) grew
up hearing that the only things that were
real were material. Changing their minds on
that score would threaten their very identity.
So they bravely move toward death, trying
not to think about it, and gritting their teeth
when they have to. I think the young are less
invested in metaphysical materialism than
the elderly. Their minds are slightly more
open, if only because of the barrage of Hollywood films set in an afterlife.
Concomitant with the issue of life after
death is that of the meaning of this life. Dr.
Dennis Ford deals with the question extensively in his recently-released book, The
Search for Meaning: A Short History. He
points out that science is driven by a control
motive that leads to empiricism, which in
turn leads to naturalism. The awareness
that science fosters is ultimately alienating,
to the extent that it reduces the colorful
world we had thought ourselves to be living
in to a mechanistic world of cold, hard, indifferent facts, he offers.
In effect, sciencethe fundamentalist variety that opposes NDE researchgives us a
meaningless and soulless world, one in
which we can function only if we dont look
for meaning and are successful in repressing
the idea of death. Until we can overcome fundamentalism in science, as well as fundamentalism in religion, we appear destined to live
in a world of moral decadence, egocentricity,
intolerance, hatred, hypocrisy, disorder, flux,
strife, chaos, and fear.

other SPR members spent several evenings
until, one night, all peace was disturbed by a
fearsome uproar. Yet no cause could be
found, Doyle even wondering if it was a hoax.
But when the body of a small child was later
discovered secretly buried in the garden,
Conan Doyle became convinced that the phenomena had been caused by the troubled
spirit of the dead child. Out of a bundle of
records sent to him from a circle sitting in
Uruguay, S.A., in 1928, he once again found
that a number of communicants

drowned, one expired in a

in an untimely way. Yet eighty
years later, we have yet to incorporate this crucial observation
into our understanding of psychic phenomena and earthbound
spirits. Even more essential was
Doyles no-nonsense explanation
of apparitions and phantoms.
No ghost was ever selfsupporting, he once said.
Meaning: No external intelligence can possibly operate in
this world of matter without a
proper medium to supply the energy. It is give-and-take; but the
medium is mostly give and the
spirit mostly take. The disembodied, declared Sir Arthur,

butit is always derived from
the

livingthe effluvia of the human organism
which furnish the basis of physical manifestations from the unseen.
It was more than abstract theory. Visited
one night by a contrite phantom asking for
Doyles forgiveness, the author, during the
short span of the manifestation, was utterly
unable to move. Discomfited by the sudden
albeit brief paralysis, he commented later
that it is the one occasion upon which I
have been used as a physical medium, and I
am content that it should be the last.
On another occasion he said, We are
ourselves spirits here and now. It is true
that Doyles fervor for spiritual enlightenment became a mission, his raison detre
during the closing decades of his life. Harnessing his lifelong enormous energy and
restlessness, he (along with his family)
toured the world, filling lecture halls from
Australia to Scandinavia in hundreds of
speaking engagements on discarnate life and
soul wanderings, thus earning the honorificThe St. Paul of Spiritualism. And it
is also true that both his reputation and substantial wealth suffered in proportion to his
unremitting crusade for the worlds least
popular ism. For close to a century, his
critics have haphazardly attributed his conversion, to the bereavement he suffered on

losing a son (Kingsley) and a brother (Innes)
as a result of the Great War, even though
those losses post-dated his public espousal of
the sacred cause! The war did change him,
though. Disillusioned with selfish, bitter and
violent politics (including Irelands bid for
Home Rule), he turned his all to the truths
beyond the veil. The war, if nothing else, had
proven to him that the school of materialismholds the world in its gripand is
the root cause of all our misfortunes. The
enemies of spiritualism, moreover, have
done more harm in the world than the
smallpox! Indeed, Every materialist, as I
can now clearly see, is a case of arrested development.

frauds. If we desire the truth, he warned,
we should not only be critical of all psychic
assertions, but equally so of all so-called exposures in this subject, some of them being
downright fraud themselves.
It was less than four months before his
death in 1930 that Sir Arthur, exasperated
with the obtuse negation of the SPR itself,
resigned his membership after 36 years,
deeply antagonized and entirely disgusted
with the reactionarieshindering and belittlingreal psychical research. It was times
like this(the society had cavalierly dumped
on the Italian sances at Millesimo Castle)
that Doyle sighed at the thankless quest of
spiritual exploration, wondering if the sacrifice was worth it. Yet, wasnt it Sir Arthur
himself who had once remarkedFate is
never in a hurry? Indeed, the fate of spiritualism still hangs in the balance.
A. Conan
Doyle
The good fight was with him to the end.

Not one week before his death, he led a delegation in London which called on the Home
Secretary to end the persecutions (against
genuine mediums) permitted by the Fortune
Telling Act. And shortly before his departure
from this life, he wrote that, against the backdrop of his many earthly adventures, the
greatest and most glorious of all awaits me
now. And in the world he left behind, while
adherents all but deified the nonexistent sage
of Baker Street (dubbing the Holmes stories
the Sacred Canon), its creators search for
the Holy Grail, as he phrased his spiritual
quest, is all but forgotten. Fellow spookists,
though, have on many occasions called back
the shade of Sir Arthur who, speaking to
Harry Price through the mediumship of Eileen Garrett three months after his death,
communicated his difficulty in getting
through the wall of density that stands between us. It was and is a tough divide; and

sunrise. About 3500 years ago these stonebuilt chambers were meant to face the rising
sun on astronomically auspicious days. The
handful of small organizations that do their
best to maintain and preserve such structures refer to them as solar temples.
Fahnestock Memorial Park is in Putnam
Valley, just off the Taconic Parkway, and contains at least four. Two are still in very good
shape, one marked with a tall standing stone.
Even with fairly exact directions I found myself driving past one three times until I realized it did not face the road, so I had missed
it. From Fahnestock I had better luck in locating a handful of standing stones and small
solar temples. Whangtown Road in the town
of Kent Cliffs has a large solstice chamber.
The larger town of Purchase has a large
standing stone on the campus lawn of the
State University of New York.
The greatest surprise was only a few
miles away, a rare structure called a Double
Solar chamber. Again it is very close to the
road but difficult to see. From the town of
Putnam Valley, one needs to head north on
Route 20 until reaching the school. Across
the road from the school (on Oscawana Lake
Road) is a large wooded field. Before
reaching Kramers Pond Rd., sort of a corner
between the two roads, lie two stone chambers sharing a common wall. Each has its
own opening. There are two problems the
visitor faces. One is that even though it is
not far from the road, it is posted against
hunting and therefore most likely private
property. The second is the massive poison
ivy. It is always best to seek permission and
to wear the right clothes.
While such stones exist all over New England, they appear to be in clusters. The
Putnam County, New YorkFairfield
County, Connecticut area is one such
cluster. Another is centered in New Hampshire at a coincidently named town, North
Salem. Here is a 20-acre complex once called
Mystery Hill by nearby residents.
Americas Stonehenge
About fifty miles north of Boston lies a
megalithic center not normally found in the
New World. From exit 3 of Route 93 in New
Hampshire, it is a short ride on route 111 to
this New World Stonehenge. The complex
contains stone slab chambers like those in
Putnam County and numerous henge stones
similar to Stonehenge in England. These
stones are situated to correspond with the
sun rise on the solstice days as well as on the
days of the equinox. More so than Stonehenge of which we can only speculate, Mystery Hill contains a chamber that goes into
the ground under a large slab with grooved
channels. This small cavern, shaped like a T,
has a couch cut from stone. From above this
room a speaking tube ascends to what is
called a sacrifice table. It is a rectangular
slab with a groove that runs around the

slight tilted table. While there is no concrete
proof, it is theorized blood would run from
the victim towards this drain and could be
collected. The speaking tube extending from
the chamber called the Oracle Chamber,
would make it possible for a concealed priest
or wizard to trick the assembled faithful into
believing the rocks or spirits in the rocks are
speaking.
While the standing stones resemble some
of Englands less spectacular monuments,
the close proximity of the numerous shelters
can be compared to Scotlands oldest site,
Skara Brae. This very ancient site predates
the pyramids and appears to be a sort of astronomical college, where a proto-Druid-type
group of priests and priestesses trained the
initiate in the sacred arts and sciences.
Despite the age of Skara Brae, archaeologists have identified stone furniture, water
closets with running water to dispose of
waste, hinged stone doors and the ability to
lock rooms. It does not require imagination
to conceive of Skara Brae as a school where
initiates were trained in the sciences. Nearby
megalithic construction includes the Ring of
Brodgar, Maes Howe and the Standing
Stones of Stenness. All have astronomical
significance. Maes Howe has a chamber
where the entrance is positioned so the
sunset on the earths shortest day would
light the inside wall. Again archaeologists in
the UK have no problem theorizing about the
people that once inhabited Skara Brae while
in America we scoff at anything older than
colonial, except, of course, for the indigenous
peoples who, we are told, did not build with
stone.
The skeptical version: In the 1820s a
farmer by the name of Jonathan Pattee lived
at Mystery Hill with his five sons, and the
place received the name Pattees Hill. It is
claimed that Pattee and his sons built the
structures, including 20-ton megaliths. The
chambers, it was explained, were for penning
animals, and the tall and massively heavy
stones, well, there was no explanation. In the
last century amateur archaeologist Frank
Glynn, who has done much to advance the
study of pre-colonial structures, discovered
broken ceramic pottery that does not compare to anything found elsewhere. Glynn
pointed out a white pine tree that is dated
1795 that grew through the walls of one
structure, making it older than Pattee. He
also found out Pattee did have five children,
but four were girls. One by one pieces of the
explanation fell apart. Most important, sophisticated dating techniques showed the site
was occupied 1500-2000 BC.
In 1957 the site was purchased by Robert
E. Stone who allowed access to the public.
He served as president of the New England

Follow the signs to the Joseph Smith birthplace monument, about two and a half miles.
Just before this monument there is a farmhouse. Here is where to ask permission to
see the chambers.
At South Woodstock there is a large
structure called the Winter solstice sunrise
temple. It is built to admit light from the
sun on that day which is reflected on the
back wall. This again is similar to the large
structure in New Grange, Ireland. The lintels
serving as a doorway are over ten feet wide
and weigh three tons. Besides the solar calculation the entrance piers were also used to
observe the path of the moon and to predict
eclipses. There is almost no way to construe

top of the pyramid, it appeared to be a piece
that could be compared with some I have
seen at Giza. I wondered whether the surface
was as flat as those I had previously measured, so I made my way to the bottom to
check it out.
Compared to all the other stone in the
area, this one was different. The surface was
smooth, but laying a straightedge on the surface I found that it was not flat, but concave.
Inspecting it closely, I noted that the concave
cut surface terminated and a compound radial break line distinguished where the saw
cut ended and another piece broke off. The
block measured approximately 56.75 in
(1.441 m) x 47 in (1.19 m) x 9 in (.22 m).
From looking at the piece from above, an arc
is present where the saw ended its cut and
from this arc to the end of the piece, it
showed that it was broken off from the piece
to which it was originally attached (see
Figure 1). Figure 1 shows the piece from
above where the arc can clearly be seen. A
tripod was set up and photographs were
taken for analysis. Three points were selected
along the arc to create a circle. Zooming in
on the arc it was determined that the radius
was accurate over approximately 93% of the
arc. Using the dimensions of the chord
(56.75 in) and the sagitta (1.42 in), the radius
of the arc was calculated to be 23.684 feet
(7.218 m). See table in Figure 1.
A perpendicular photograph of the arc,
however, does not reveal the saws true diameter. It assumes that the center of this radius
was located perpendicular to the cameras
axis, whereas the cut surface being studied
had a concave radius cut along its length (see
Figure. 3). These conditions suggest that the
saw that cut both radii must have been on an
angle, or the granite block was pushed into
the saw at an angle. By knowing the dimensions of both radii, therefore, a more accurate calculation of the saw diameter can be
made. Using a photograph taken approximately parallel with the axis of the surface
radius, the radius was calculated to be 22.134
feet (6.746 M) (see table in Figure 3).
A radius on two axes indicates that they
are small segments of an ellipse. This technique is a popular method used by machinists and toolmakers to machine a radius that
is larger than the radius of a cutting tool.
Using a simple formula we can calculate the
angle a circular saw should be tilted to in
order to cut a large radius in a work piece,
and from both radii in the granite determine
with reasonable certainty both the diameter
of the saw and its tilt angle (Cutter diameter
/ radius2 = Sin of angle of tilt). A cutter diameter of 35.9 feet (10.942) will produce
both radii if tilted on a 46.5 angle (See
Figure 2). This was tested in a milling machine on a micarta 1/61 scale model, the results of which were compared to the photograph of the granite (Figure 4). The angle is

consistent with Egyptologists speculation

on the angle of the pyramid. A bi-product of
creating the model was a block with all the
characteristics of a pyramid casing stone.
Closer examination of the granite surface
shows that the saw which did the cutting left
grooves approximately .050 inch wide (see
Figure 5.1). This might normally be associated with the feed rate of the saw, but
could also indicate a blade with multiple
cutting teeth. What is really puzzling and
will probably always remain a mystery is,
why this block of all granite blocks examined
has such geometry. Sensible explanations for
every characteristic on the stone are not immediately clear. A step in the surface indicate a change in the saws angle and, therefore, the radius it cut into the surface. It
could be asked whether this piece was

created on a whim after a casing stone was
cut and this piece was separated. It seems inconceivable that a process was designed
whereby the surface area being cut continually increased as the saw passed along the
piece. Could it be that the pyramid angle was
cut normally and after this block was broken
away it was returned to the saw to have these
inexplicable features created? (see Figure
5.1)
As this evidence drove me to grapple with
these concepts, I was stunned by their implications and tried to imagine what such a saw
would look like, how it was installed on the
plateau and how the stone to be cut was fixtured and moved through the blade. My
mind was consumed when it finally dawned
Figure 2

on me as I was waking one morning that

there are other features at Abu Rawash and
at Giza that could explain parts of this mystery.
Close to where this stone is located is a
deep trench cut into the bedrock (see illustration on page 33). Similar trenches can be
seen on the Giza Plateau east of the Great
Pyramid. They have been labeled boat-pits
because of their shape and are considered the
symbolic transport of the dead king into the
afterlife. Considering the appearance of solar
boats in Egyptian art, particularly the prolific
reliefs inside the Temple of Denderah, and
the discovery of a boat in a rectangular pit
south of the Great Pyramid, the label is not
altogether misplaced.
The trench at Abu Rawash, however, is
quite narrow and deep and does not accurately represent the shape of a boats hull. It
would not be far-fetched, therefore, to propose that these trenches were used originally
to install the lower part of the saws massive
diameter (see photo on page 32). When
looking at the trenches on the Giza Plateau,
and the enormity of the task of cutting millions of blocks of stone, not just for the Great
Pyramid, but for the other pyramids on the
site, the efficient use of mega saws cutting efficiently through granite and limestone to
exacting tolerances somehow brings the
manufacture of pyramids into a different
viewone that allows a sense of comportment with engineering on a massive scale
using methods and machines that were equal
to the task at hand.
As with Dr. Lus seminal studies of ancient Chinese artifacts, it also may prompt us
to reexamine other ancient Egyptian artifacts
that display evidence of advanced machines
that have been discussed in earlier issues of
this magazine. One might speculate that like
the Chunnel boring machines, the giant saws
that machined ancient Egypt lie buried deep
in the earth where eventually, some day, they
may be found.

as his controllers sought to find the limits.

Pero says, The focus of the initial research, I
believe, was to try and unlock the secrets of
the mind. How to make the perfect soldier,
to make a super human killing machine.
They were finding out how, when under hypnosis, the mind can overcome the physical
limitations of the human bodyHow can
the mind allow the body to do things which
would normally be physically impossible?
Since Pero was already a super-athlete, perhaps by their genetic design before he was
born, they had the perfect raw material to
work with. He did push-ups for about an
hour, and he was able to squat with 675
pounds for as many repetitions as they asked
for. He says, Under hypnosis, they told me I
could do it! And I truly believed them!!!
They tried to bury the old Andy and to
create an entirely new person. Pero says,
They wanted Andy to be totally gone, but I
remember they could NEVER destroy or
break him. I think that is why I still remember all of these events.
His trainers were especially interested in
the jump. They told
him that when he
jumped he would be
Andy Pero
like a cat, and would
always land on his feet
and always be okay no
matter how high he
jumped. They told him
When you land, your
legs become steel
springs and will absorb
all impact There is
no pain, and you have
no fear! They started
him off on ladders, and
soon he was jumping
off buildings. Then he
graduated to cliffs and
bridges. Eventually
they had him jump off
a huge microwave
tower, which he did
easily with only a
slight ankle twinge,
believing it to be a six-foot ladder! And finally, they pushed him out of a sky-diving
plane without a parachute! When he hit the
ground, he landed on his feet and bounced
about 50 feet into the air. They thought he
was dying because he laid on the ground unconscious for hours. Eventually, he got up
and walked away!
Ultimately, as the story goes, they did
turn Pero into a super human killing machine. Even though he suspected what they
were preparing him for, he couldnt help but
brag, I could hit ANY target still or moving,
at ANY range, with ANY of the guns in the
exact center every time. He also became
very proficient in hand-to-hand killing techniques. He found that he could actually
throw a man across a room with his mind, so

he claimed. When the time came to send
Andy on his assassination assignments he resisted at first, intrinsically opposed to killing
anybody. But they convinced him that his
targets were evil, and so he complied. They
would fly him out to his jobs in an F-16, and
then back to the Rochester Airport. He remembers completing 10 missions, but when
they added 15 more, he resisted. Then they
tried to kill him, but just like Dr. Frankenstein, they found that they had succeeded all
too well in creating a monster. He estimates
that he killed 15 of his handlers while
trying to escape at various times. Andy Pero
survived and eventually found a psychologist
who helped him become de-programmed,
which allowed him to tell his story as memories came flooding back. Anyway, that is what
he says.
If true, the Andy Pero story opens up new
vistas regarding the potential power of both
the human mind and the human body. Pero
says that they were trying to find out
whether the mind, under hypnosis, can
overcome the physical limitations of the
human body. But really, he himself doesnt
know the extent of those limitations. It
seems clear, if his story is actually true, that
he has demonstrated the awesome power of
the mind. But was he able to actually change
the atoms and molecules of his muscles?
It seems likely that the human body has a

tremendous built-in reserve power that can
be called upon in emergencies, as in the case
where a panicky father is able to lift an automobile to save his child. The fact is that we
do not know who we really are. We have no
idea of our true power. We get glimmers of
insight from observing works of genius and
watching strong men pull locomotives, and
we marvel at David Copperfield and Criss
Angel. Is it true, that social forces prevent us
from realizing our true capabilities? Or is
that just another excuse for failure from the
victim society. Its an issue worthy of a presidential debate.

BLACK MADONNA
traditionally gathered up as manifestations of
Venus and installed in small temples dedicated to the Goddess. Goddess mystery
school traditions eventually grew up around
these black images since it was found that
they exerted a magical effect on the human
energy system. With current scientific knowledge we have learned that
their magic created currents of energy which pulsed within the human
electro-magnetic field, an effect
caused by their high density and
concentration of iron and nickel. Ultimately, their effect would have elevated a person to ecstasy while also
initiating him or her into spiritual
life by activating the normally dormant evolutionary force at the base
of the spine. This power, known in
the East as Baraka and Kundalini,
can lead one, it is believed, to immortality, which is why in ancient
times meteorites were recognized as
both Holy Grails and Philosophers
Stones.
The Sufi love of the Goddess and
their unparalleled understanding of
her alchemical power personified as
the Black Madonna completely resonated with the templars. Thus, when
they returned from their respective
tours of duty in the Middle East they
made a point of bringing back many
statuettes of the Black Madonna for
local Templar preceptories and the
Gothic cathedrals they were in the
process of building. In fact, it was
principally because of templar influence that by the time of their demise
in 1307 it is estimated that there
were upwards of 190 prized images
of the Black Madonna venerated
throughout France.
Templars installed some of their
most prized Black Madonnas in
chapels in the Languedoc region of France.
The Languedoc was a hot bed for all things
heretical, and it eventually became famous
for harboring perhaps the most hated of
Catholic heresies, the Cathar Gnostic faith.
Interspersed among the Cathars were many
practitioners of alchemy, learned from the
Sufisreputed to be the greatest alchemists
of the time. Alchemy, it is believed, leads to
the awakening of the inner centers of intuitive wisdom or gnosis. And the pursuit of
gnosis leads to inner, alchemical transformation.
Such heretics were safe in the Languedoc
to practice the alchemy acquired from the
Sufis. Alongside the alchemy experiments
were observed the rites of Johannite Christianity, an ancient Gnostic tradition inherited in the Holy Land. The elders of this alternate branch of Christianity taught that
Jesus had established not one but two line-
ages of Christians, the Catholic Christians of

St. Peter and the Gnostic/alchemical or Johannite Christian lineage of John the Apostle
and Mary Magdalene. Jesus had, according to
their tradition, himself become a Gnostic
through his training with John the Baptist,
who was regarded by the Johannites as coMessiah with Jesus. After Jesus transmitted
Gnostic Christianity to John the Divine, the
alternate Christian lineage had passed down
a long line of Grand Masters named John
until the First Crusade. At that time the lineage was inherited by the templars and their
Polands Black Madonna of Czestochowska
first Grand Master, Hughes de Payen, became the titular John of the lineage. From
that time onwards templars were married to
the Gnostic path.
In recognition of the Johannite Christian heritage templars dedicated their
churches in the Languedoc to John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene and placed alchemical images of the Black Madonna within
them or in close proximity. Templars also
built a series of Gothic cathedrals in
northern Europe dedicated to John or Mary
and installed Black Madonnas upon their
main altars. The dimensions of these cathedrals, which were based upon sacred geometry taught by the Sufis, were designed to
generate the alchemical power of the Black
Madonna and elicit states of gnostic awareness. Seven of these cathedrals were anciently built over the seven chakra points of
Europe. An ancient pilgrimage route of the
seven sites founded by the early Johannite
Templars was designed to activate the seven

human chakra points which are considered
to be centers of gnostic awareness. Beginning at Santiago de Compostella in Spain,
and then moving up the European spine to
the French cities of Toulouse, Orleans, Chartres, Paris, Amiens, and then finally culminating at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, these
seven cathedrals are marked abundantly with
Johannite, alchemical and Goddess symbolism. Black Madonnas were once prolific in
these cathedrals, and many of them once had
labyrinths covering their floors. Even the
original floor of Rosslyn Chapel was
originally covered with a labyrinth.
The Templars understood that the
labyrinth, a geometrical form body
of the Goddess, is one of the best
tools for alchemy and gnosis in existence. The idea is that, as one
walks the back and forth maze of a
labyrinth, the two hemispheres of
the brain begin to act in unison and
intellect unites with intuition to
produce gnosis. Alchemy is also
stimulated internally as the bodys
intrinsic polarity harmonizes and
unites to activate the latent alchemical fire.
Some of the sites of Europes
towering cathedrals, such as at
Chartres, had since the time of the
Celtic Druids been places of Goddess worship and divination.
Legend has it that there was a Madonna at Chartres hundreds or
even thousands of years before the
birth of Christ, so obviously the
image could not possibly have represented the Virgin Mary holding
baby Jesus. It was, no doubt, related
to the pre-Christian nature religion
that once covered Europe, and was,
therefore, an image of the Goddess
holding her Son, the Green Man or
Lord of Nature. The time-worn
legend of this nature cult held that
the Goddess was the barren earth
who gave birth each spring to a Son
manifesting as all the fledgling
buds and sprouts of the season. The
Son grew very quicklyreflected by the rapidly growing vegetationand then died each
year in the fall with the falling leaves. During
his short life he also became the lover of his
mother, who then became extremely distraught at his passing in the fall. This popular nature legend spread throughout Europe, the Middle East and Egypt, and
precipitated the creation of many nature festivals, including Easter. Within the Mesopotamian nature cult the early Madonnas represented the Goddess Inanna or Ishar, whose
Son/lover was the nature god Dammuzi or
Tammuz; in Anatolia they denoted Cybele
and her Son/lover Attis; and in Syria they
symbolized Astarte or Aphrodite and her beloved was Adonis, a nature god who, like the
waxing and waning life force of the growing
season, was forced to spend part of the year
underground. Even in Egypt, the original
Black Madonna and SonIsis and Horus
represented the Goddess and Green Man.

When the Egyptian Green Man, Osiris, died
each fall it was said that Isis would revive
him long enough to mate with him and conceive Horus. According to one perspective,
Horus was thus Green Man Osiris reborn.
When the Catholic church was formed it
borrowed many of the rites, holidays and images of the early nature cult, including the
Black Madonna and her Son. They also coopted many elements of the legend of the
Lord of Nature and wove them into the life
story of their savior Son, Jesus. This was possible because the legend of the Lord of Nature had, by that time, acquired both a mundane and spiritual interpretation; to some he
represented the forms of nature, and to
others he was the savior and archetypal initiate. In Egypt, for example, the mundane
understanding of the Green Man, Osiris,
maintained that he was the personification of
nature that died and is then reborn each
year, but the spiritual interpretation of the
legend taught within the mystery schools
recognized Osiris to be the archetypal initiate whose death in the fall and resurrection
in the spring denoted the egoic death and
spiritual rebirth of an Egyptian adept.
Thus, the archived Templar histories have
revealed that Templars must have known the
Black Madonna and her Son as not only the
Goddess and Green Man, but also as the
transformative Goddess who gives birth to
the archetypal initiate and coddles him to
spiritual maturityor gnosis. Since the
Church was no doubt aware of these early
pagan associations, then its current disdain
for the Black Madonna is understandable.
The Church has always sought to distance itself from the earlier pagan traditions it so
abundantly borrowed from, and it has consistently opposed all alchemical paths that lead
to gnosis. As some mystics have demonstrated, such a path can invariably lead to the
inner revelation of I am Infinite, or simply
I am God, a proclamation that goes decidedly against the grain of Catholic doctrine.
Finally, the churchs abhorrence of the
Black Madonna may also stem from the fact
that in some circles she is associated with
Mary Magdalene. In fact, there are those who
believe it is she who is embodied and immortalized as the dark image. If this is indeed
true, the Catholic church is more likely than
ever to be virulently opposed to any veneration of the image of the Black Madonna, especially now that the Nag Hammadi gospels
have been found to portray Mary as the favorite disciple, wife, and even true successor
of Jesus.

CREATIONISM
The most widely accepted translation of

the Bible used today, the Kings James Version dating to 1611and the version which
Bishop Usshur used to make his chronological calculationsis based on the comparison and translation of three major textual
traditional sources: the Massoretic Text (MT,
which traces its history from the early 2nd
century A.D.; the Septuagint (LXX), from
about 250 B.C.E.; and the Samaritan Pentateuch (Sam Pent), from about 400 B.C.E.
What is very revealing when comparing
these more ancient sources is that none of
them fully agree on the exact year numbers
given for the Genesis generations.
The scholars of King James time finally
accepted the MTs numbers, but the choice
who receiveth tithes, paid tithes to Abraham.

For he was yet in the loins of his father
(Abraham), when Melchesidec met him.
Levi, as is known in the Genesis account,
was not the son of Abraham, but was the patriarchs great-grandson, Isaac and Jacob
being the two interim generations. Abraham
was 100 years old when Isaac was born (Gen.
21:5), Isaac was more than 40 when Jacob
was born (25:20-21), and Jacob exceeded 40
years when Levi was born (26:34, 29:18, 3134). Since Abraham,
says the Bible, lived
to be 175 years of age
(25:7-8), it is evident
that Abraham had
been dead several
years before Levi was
born.
In Matthew 1:217, Matthew lists the
generations from
Adam to Jesus, giving
a total of fifty-one
names. But when we
compare this list
with the Old Testament records, a
number of discrepancies are revealed. In
verse 8, the evangelist wrote: And
Joriam begat Ozias.

evangelist had access to the LXX but not the
MT as his source. If both the names and the
numbers are not consistent among the various sources, then clearly they cannot be the
basis for determining any form of accurate

As an interesting aside, there may have
been a good reason why the compilers of the
MT may have purposely reduced the original
Genesis generational numbers. About the
same period that the MT was prepared, there
were many early Christian scholars who were
beginning to believe that the duration of the
world would be exactly seven thousand years.
This belief made its appearance in such contemporary pseudographia as the Book of the

maintain only a limited amount of living beings in a comfortable manner before the territorial imperative is exceeded, and the living
beings begin reducing themselves in numbers as a built-in form of population control.
Whether or not the ratio of land-to-ocean environments is increased or decreased, or
whether or not the planet has a uniform temperate climate that increases the support for
the growth of all life, there still exists an
upper limit to the number of life-forms the
earth can support at any one time period.
This is what can be termed the planetary
MOQ or Maximum Optimum Quantity.
So far, only about 20% of the land area of
the earth has been explored for fossils and
less than 1% of the oceans fossil record has
been identified. Yet even in this small fraction of the total fossil record that has been
revealed, the amount of life so far discovered
embedded in the Precambrian to Quaternary
strata is already equal to 4 to 5 MOQ, or four
to five times what the earth could possibly
support at any given moment.
If this quantity unearthed from the fossil
record to date holds true as the average for
what still exists in the remaining landed
fossil record yet to be brought to light, then
we are looking at the total planetary fossil
record containing an MOQ of 20 to 25, or
twenty to twenty-five times the maximum
optimum quantity of life the Earth could
support at one time.
Since the landed fossils represent only
one-fourth of the surface of the planet, if the
average numbers found so far also remain
consistent for what future explorations of the
ocean depths may yet reveal, then we may be
talking about an MOQ for the total global
fossil record of 80 to 100 times.
Unless pre-flood conditions for the earth
were so radically different beyond anything
we could imagine today, there is no way that
all the life represented in 95% of the fossil
record could have been alive at the same
time to have been destroyed and buried by
the single flood event.
Otherwise it would have been necessary
to stack animals on top of each other everywhere on the earths surface to accommodate
all of them.
As one critic of creationism quipped, if
such animal numbers did exist before the
flood, then Noah would have had no problem
in getting them two-by-two into the Ark-they
would have simply fallen in, because there
was no place else to go.

the now-Cambrian fish have suddenly lost

thought needed to evolve from trilobitehood.
It is an interesting question to ask how
long the Canyon park rangers yet have to tell
their story about the Colorado river. There is
no handy body of water such as Lake Missoula above the Canyon (though it took some
time to discover even this powerful source of
the Scablands). Utahs Lake Bonneville, the
size of Lake Michigan but much deeper,
poured out 1000 cubic miles in a flash about
14,000 years ago, but in the other direction,
into Idaho. The Grand Canyons source
would be something far beyond a lake.
Herbie Brennan (The Atlantis Enigma), arguing for a near pass of a dwarf star and its
companions, argued that the stars gravitational attraction drew the entire world ocean
towards the north, creating a huge standing
wave of water. The Hebrew Haggadah describes waters piled to a height of 1,600
miles and visible to all the nations of the
earth. As the star moved on and the field
weakened, the wave broke. Navaho and
Choctaw legends tell a chilling tale of a period of darkness, followed by a light appearing in the north, and then the appearance of herds of animals fleeing south.
Scouts returned with terrifying news of a
massive mountain of water rushing down
upon them. It soon filled the entire horizon
on three sides. When the survivors emerged
from their mountain-top cave, the mount
was completely surrounded with water.
We shall see, but there are many other
anomalies that unsettle the vision of a 4-5billion-year-old planet with patient Colorado
rivers and dinosaurs roaming 165 million
years ago. Let me note a few of many.
Helium Levels of
the Atmosphere
On our dear planet,
helium is produced by
radioactive alphadecay. Radioactive elements in the rocks, for
example, uranium and
thorium, produce helium in this way, and
it leaks into the air. Given the amount of helium in rocks and the rate of decay, one can
extrapolate on the scale of the planet, and
this gives 67 grams per second. There are
roughly 3.71 billion tons of helium in the atmosphere. At 67 grams/second, it would have
required 2 million years to reach this
amount. This is not 4.6 billion years. And the
current rate of decay is in fact slower than
the earlier years of the planet as the radioactive sources are drying up, so to speak. Is the
helium simply escaping the atmosphere? But
the probability of helium atoms achieving escape velocity from the earths field too can be
calculated, and the amount escaping is only
1/40th the amount entering the atmosphere

daily. Upper limit of the earths age given helium levels: 2 million years.
Continental Erosion Rates
Continents erode.
The rivers are the
force, moving tons of
material off the continents into the ocean
day by day. The rate of
continent removal can
be computed. The average reduction of the
continents of the
world is 2.4 inches of
top surface per 1000 years. At this rate,
North America should have been leveled by
erosion in 10 million years. The supposed
age of the continents is 2.5 billion years. Has
man increased the erosion rate? Estimates
say that, at best, man could account for a 2X
increase. Upper limit of the age of the continents: 10-20 million years.
Distance of the Moon
The moon is receding from the earth.
Yes, the rate of recession can be computed,
and the rate is one and a half inches per year.
The rate would have been faster in earlier
times. The closest the
moon could ever have
been to the earth is determined by the Roche
limit, and this is
11,500 miles. Closer
than this, the earths
tidal forces would have
ripped the moon apart.
(This fact happens to preclude the hypothesis that the moon was born as an ejected
chunk of the earth.) Given the moons current distance and the current rate, it would
have required a maximum of 1.3 billion
years to recede to this point. This is the maximum time the moon could have been
around. A vastly shorter time coordinate
with thousands of years is more likely, for it
is the presence of the moon, in roughly its
current position, that is essential for the stability of the planet; it maintains the inclination of the earths axis. Without this inclination the ice regions of the poles would be far
vaster and colder, the equatorial regions so
hot as to be unlivable, and due to the large
heat/cold differential, the storms raging
across the planet, enormous. In other words,
the moon, in its current position, maintains
the conditions for livability of many life
forms on the planet.
Salinity of the
Oceans
While many processes bring salt into
the sea, few allow the
salt to escape. The salt
builds steadily. Of
course, it builds at a
computable rate.
Every kilogram of
saltwater contains about 10.8 grams of >

DATING
dissolved sodium ion (Na+) by weight, giving
about 1.47 x 1016 tons of NA+ in the ocean.
Some of this salt is supplied by rivers and
some directly by ocean floor springs and sediments. It is calculated that 457 million tons
enter the sea per year, while the minimum
possible rate in the past is 357 million tons.
A later study in Nature increases this 457
million figure, so we are talking conservatively. The exit rate of the salt is a maximum
of 122 million tons per year, and the maximum in the past, 206 million tons. Given all
this, the maximum age of the oceans is 62
million years, not actual age, maximum age.
Other Radiometric
Anomalies
It is a common
occurrence to find
14C (radio carbon)
in samples of coal
and oil, substances
supposedly formed
by processes millions
of years ago. Even diamonds, supposedly billions of years old,
have been found to contain 14C. The interior
of diamonds, with their incredibly dense lattice structure and bonds, would make it impossible for contamination to enter. But
again, the half life of 14C should end in decay
after some tens of thousands of years. Even
the most sensitive techniques used today

should find zero 14C after 250,000 years. The
diamonds carbon-dated at 58,000 years.
Studies have yet to find any organic material, no matter how supposedly old, that
lacks 14C. Effectively, this limits the maximum age of any organic, buried biota to at
most 250,000 years. This will include the TRex of Montana.
Zircons are crystalline formations found
in granite at Precambrian basement
layers considered to
be billions of years
Zircon
old. Yet zircons usustructure
ally contain helium,
and as we have discussed, helium, being a
very light atom, escapes rock very easily, and
again at a certain rate. Given the amount of
helium still in the zircons, the Precambrian
basement granite could not be older than
14,000 years.
Radioactive uranium, as it decays in
steps, generates a multi-ringed halo. Such
halos have been found in petrified logs discovered in uranium mines in Colorado, spanning geological formations supposedly
ranging (according to radiometric dating)
from 35 to 245 million years. Yet analysis of
these rings showed a large amount of uranium-238 but virtually no lead-206, the
daughter of the U-238 decay process. If the
halos were millions of years old, there
should have been much more lead. In fact,
using the same radiometric dating assump-
tions, the amount is

consistent with thousands of years of decay,
not millions. All three
geologic formations
show the same results,
indicating that all are
the same (young) age.
Uranium halo
That there are radiohalos in the wood at all means that the geologic process that stuck the wood in the coal
mines happened at great speed, for the halflife of polonium-210, responsible for the
single ring halos discovered, is only 138 days.
It will not be surprising to see authors,
even in this publication, continue to refer to
ages of many millions of years. The indefatigable Michael Cremo argues for the age of
man in terms of many millions of years,
based precisely on the deep strata in which
human remains and artifacts are found, to
include coal mines. All this should change.
The fact that there have been periodic, cataclysmic catastrophes involving massive geological forces is becoming well known. That
these forces are quite capable of making coal
and granite in relative geological instants is
also true, but less well known. Richard Firestone et al., The Cycles of Cosmic Catastrophe, have demonstrated how the last Ice
Age with its mammoths and its Clovis civilization came to an extremely violent, sudden
end. Its about time. And there is not the
time required for Mama T-Rex to sleep 65
million years.
NAN MADOL
below there were countless stone vaults, pillars and monoliths. Carved stone tablets
hung on the remains of clearly recognizable
houses.
What the pearl divers did not find was
discovered by Japanese divers
with modern equipment. They
confirmed with their finds what
the traditional legends of Ponape reported: the vast wealth in
precious metals, pearls and bars
of silver. The legend says that
the corpses rest in the House of
the Dead (i.e., the main house
in the complex). The Japanese
divers reported that the dead
were buried in watertight platinum coffins. And the divers actually brought bits of platinum
to the surface day after day! In
fact, the main exports of the islandcopra, vanilla, sago and
mother of pearlwere supplanted by platinum! Rittlinger
says that the Japanese carried on
exploiting this platinum until
one day two divers did not surface, in spite of their modern
equipment. Then the war broke
out and the Japanese had to
withdraw. He ends the story as
follows: The natives stories, encrusted with century-old legends, are probably exaggerated.
But the finds of platinum on an
island where the rock contains
no platinum, were and remain a
very real fact.
The Japanese reportedly did
discover very large human bones
at Nan Madol, indicating that
the previous inhabitants of the
island were perhaps as tall as 2.1
meters or 7 feet. An old Pohnpei
native told me while I was there
that he had found a human
femur many years ago in the
jungle that was twice as big as a
normal mans. This might suggest a rather
unbelievable height of 10 feet or so, making
the early inhabitants literally giants.
After the war, the sunken city was generally forgotten, and no other work was done
on Nan Madol until the early 1960s when an
American Smithsonian expedition came to
the island to gather some hard scientific
data on this strange city and to figure out
the whole mystery. The Smithsonian carbondated some ashes at the bottom of a fire pit,
and discovered that they were about 900
years old. They then ascribed a date of A.D.
1000 to the city, and suggested that the basalt rocks used to build the city came from
Sokehs Rock near the main town of Kolonia.
Writers and historians then generally
gave this eleventh-century date as the age of
Nan Madol. As all archaeologists know, the

date of some ashes in a city does not date the
city, and unfortunately, stone cannot be
carbon-dated. However, this date did establish that it was at least 900 years old.
In the 1970s, Steve Athens, an archaeologist for the Pacific Studies Institute in Honolulu, Hawaii, began the most extensive work
on Nan Madol since the Japanese or possibly
even the Germans. He discovered pottery
shards in Nan Madol that were dated by thermoluminescence as being at least 2000 years
Massive wall at Nan Dowas
old. This pushes back the date of Nan Madol

by more than 1000 years, and raises a lot
more questions than it answers.
First of all, pottery was not known to
have been used in Pohnpei at any time, and
was not used by the natives at the time of the
European discovery of the island. Natives
were also not known to have had oceangoing canoes at the time of discovery. This
evidence, plus the fact that the natives now
live in grass huts, and no longer build structures out of rocks weighing 20 to 50 tons, indicates that a regression of culture has taken
place on the island. This new date of the pottery suggests that Nan Madol was inhabited
at the time of Christ, and it is quite possible
that the city is several thousand years older
than that.
The entire city is constructed out of

blocks of basalt and the island, being manmade, naturally had to be constructed first.
Basalt logs were placed on the coral reef, and
then the center of the islet filled in with
coral. The canals too were presumably cut
out of the coral, and then the megalithic
walls and structures were built.
From the air, Nan Madol looks like a big
mangrove swamp. Over the thousands of
years that it has lain there, unused for at
least hundreds, mangrove trees and coconut
palms have grown among the
ruins, the roots tearing down
walls, the canopies obscuring any
view.
The project is of such scale
that it easily compares with the
building of the Great Wall of
China and the Great Pyramid of
Egypt in sheer amounts of stone,
labor and the gigantic scope of
the edifice. It is also worth noting
that the average weight of a stone
in the Great Pyramid of Egypt is
only three tons; even the construction of this great structure
has created a great deal of debate
and controversy.
Yet the source of the stone remains a mystery. According to
Gene Ashby at the Community
College of Micronesia, no one
knows where all the stone for the
building of Nan Madol came from.
It has been suggested that the
stones were moved from quarries
by lashing bamboo to them, or
placing them on coconut palm
rafts, and then floating them to
the site. However, two American
engineers on Pohnpei told me
that it was unlikely that such gigantic blocks could have been
floated by raft or bamboo. The island is too mountainous to allow
transport overland, and furthermore, these rocks are piled on top
of each other to a height of ten
meters or more. The largest movable crane on the island to this
day can only lift about 35 tons.
Athens also made note of the
extensive
tunnel
network
throughout Nan Madol. Tunnel
entrances can be found on many of the islets,
and though now blocked, they are believed to
connect major islands together. These tunnels are presumed by archaeologists to have
been used for transportation between islets,
yet why such tunnels would have been constructed is a mystery. Perhaps for defense?
But if so, from whom?
The main fortress of Nan Dowas, where
one can find 50-ton blocks of basalt, has a
tunnel that was previously thought to have
been a tomb. In 1870 it was twelve meters
deeper than it is today, and is blocked by a
giant boulder. It is believed that some of
these tunnels go beneath the reef and exit
underwater to caves that can be seen while
diving.

NAN MADOL
How these tunnels could have been constructed through the coral reef that Nan
Madol lies on is unknown.
What is the answer to the mystery of Nan
Madol and Madolynym, the Atlantis of the
Pacific? One theory is that part of Nan Madol
was built on a gigantic limestone cavern
which later collapsed, sending structures
down to the bottom of the harbor. Yet this
does not explain how columns would still be
standing. Furthermore, nowhere else at Nan
Madol are columns used in the construction
of any buildings; they are only found underwater.
Another possible explanation is that the
entire island has been sinking over the past
thousands of years. This might explain how
underwater structures are still standing, as
well as the now submerged and coralencrusted square outlines of structures in the
coral reef. Yet it does not take into account
the local legends.
One hypothesis that makes use of all the
data is that of a former continent in the Pacific Ocean. Recently, coal deposits have been
found off Rap Iti in French Polynesia, indicating that the Pacific Basin was once high
and dry. In a cataclysmic upheaval in the remote past, this continent may have been submerged, and the sunken City of the Gods to
be found on Pohnpei may have been a city of
this now-vanished culture.
Of course, this is a radical conclusion, like
rewriting ancient history! Yet, perhaps ancient history needs to be rewritten. A major
expedition should be sent to Pohnpei
equipped with sonar, deep-diving, and coredrilling equipment. The harbor needs to be
Canal at Nan Dowas
mapped completely by sonar and all columns

and other structures explored carefully with
a miniature sub or diving bell. The coral reef
needs to have a number of core samples
taken, to ascertain what is beneath the solid
mass of coral.
I was also told that platforms, similar to
those found on Malden Island, had been
found at Nan Madol. In the book, Nan Madol:
Lost City of the Pacific, (1976) the author,
Mr. Ballinger, concludes that Nan Madol was
built by Greek sailors before the time of
Christ. The Greek sailors were remnants of
Alexander the Greats army in Persia after Alexander was poisoned and his empire started
to split up. These sailors, theorized Ballinger, left the Persian Gulf intent on
making their own kingdom, and after sailing
through Indonesia, settled on Pohnpei,
where they built Nan Madol. Harvard professor Barry Fell has a similar theory on the
settlement of the Pacific.
It is not a bad theory, fitting better into
new findings about Nan Madol than other
theories. I was inclined to think of the ancient sun worshippers of the Pacific and
their megalithic trading bases throughout
the South Pacific. Was Nan Madol built by
them? This might make the city three to six
thousand years old, the base of ancient
sailors from Egypt, India and elsewhere. An
ancient city of the Atlantean League?
Yet, did these men, aware of more ancient cultures before them, build their city
next to the coral-covered remains of an actual Lemurian city? The thought was staggering. Perhaps I had finally found some evidence of a sunken continent in the Pacific.

UBAR
Iruma-Ubar as a cult capital where all the
profane arts of black magic and thaumaturgy
flourished, just as portrayed in Bedouin
myth.
Archaeologists henceforward scoured the
sands of Arabia for any physical trace of the
other lost city, but it seemed to have forever
disappeared, just as specified by the Holy
Quran. In 1984, however, an orbital Challenger satellite tracing medieval routes used
by spice traders followed their faint outlines
into a far older network of roads in south
Omans Dhofar Province. As Dr. Bob Curran
relates in Lost Lands, Forgotten Realms (NJ:
New Page Books, 2007), Further investigation using x-ray scanning revealed the surrounding area was the roof of a large, underground, limestone cavern, filled with a huge,
subterranean lake that had formed a watertable for a city built above it.
Subsequent digs near the Ash Shisar
oasis, amid ruins previously identified as a
16th century Shis'r fort, soon unearthed
Iram-Ubar. The excavated city showed every
sign of fabulous wealth, resulting from extensive trade between the coastal regions and
population centers of the Middle East, where
it was a commercial center between Asia and
Europe. Copious amounts of frankincense,
the fragrant resin associated with stories of
Iram, were discovered at the site, the remnants of which likewise disclosed the nature
of its disappearance.
The city had been built over the immense, limestone cap of an underground
lake into which generations of residents had
sunk many hundreds of wells. This abundance of fresh water in the desert additionally augmented Ubars already prodigious affluence and influence. But millennia of
withdrawing water from the lake gradually
lowered the levels that supported the limestone cover and its city. By A.D. 500, the
water table had dropped enough for the
caverns natural props to give way. Its roof,
upon which stood the proud city, suddenly
collapsed into the subterranean lake, taking
with it many if not most of its traumatized
inhabitants. Over time, inexorable desert
deposition effectively filled in the gaping
crater with its human victims and ruined
metropolis, which eventually passed from
history into myth.
The demise of Ubar had taken place just
as legend had described the fate of Iram. Decades before its discovery, T. E. Lawrence,
more famous as Lawrence of Arabia, referred to Iram as the Atlantis of the Sands.
And there may have been more truth to his
characterization than he realized. For example, Bedouin tradition held that a race of
giants, the Ahd-al-Jann, built the city after
the great flood. So too, in classical Greek
myth, the Atlanteans were identified as
titans.
The Persian astrologer, Abu Ma'shar Ja'far
ibn Muhammad ibn 'Umar al-Balkhi (A.D.

787 to 886), still regarded today as the foremost authority on ancient and medieval Arabic chronology, determined that the Deluge
occurred between the 17th and 18th of February, 3101 B.C. This date coincides with a
consensus of scientific opinion reached in
1997 at Cambridge, Englands Fitzwilliam
College, where archaeo-astronomers and geologists from around the world pooled their
evidence to show that a global catastrophe
occurred near the close of the 4th millennium B.C. That period is additionally remarkable for the Maya calendar, which started in
3113 B.C.; the sudden beginning of Egyptian
civilization; the opening of the Hindu Kali
Yuga, or Great Year; and numerous other,
significant transitions around the world, all
signifying major, abrupt
change. If, as Arabic myth
relates, the Ahd-al-Jann
built Iram five generations
following the flood, that
Lawrence
would place its construcof Arabia
tion around 2975 B.C.
Again, this date coincides
remarkably well with organic materials retrieved
from Ubar, where carbondating analysis established
the
citys
completion
shortly after the turn of
the 3rd millennium B.C.
The
Ahd-al-Jann
builders were themselves
described in Bedouin folkSee Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
lore as a tribe of the Adites, remarkably

skilled architects and builders who raised
great stone monuments. Even today, rural
Saudi Arabian tribes refer to any ancient
ruins of prodigious size as buildings of the
Adites. The Adites are regarded as the earliest inhabitants of Arabia, and referred to as
red men, for the light color of their hair.
Several accounts of Atlantis (Egyptian, Irish,
Winnebago, etc.), depict the Atlanteans, at
least in part, as redheads.
Ad is still the name of a Semitic tribe
in the province of Hadramut, Saudi Arabia,
whose elders claimed descent from their
eponymous ancestor, the great-grandson of
Noah. In the 19th century, the royal monarch of the Mussulman tribes was Shedd-AdBen-Ad, or Descendant and Son of Ad.
The progenitor of the Arab
peoples was Ad, grandson
of the biblical Shem. The
Adites were said to have
worshiped the sun from
the tops of pyramids, a
singularly un-Arabic practice more evocative of life
in Atlantis. Ad was known
as the City of Pillars, or
the Land of Bronze. In his
4th century B.C. account
of Atlantis, the Kritias,
Plato similarly described
the pillar-cult of the Atlanteans, while their city was
the pre-classical worlds
foremost
clearinghouse
for the bronze trade. The Adites had ten

kings ruling various parts of the world simultaneously, the same number and disposition
described by Plato. The Adites were said to
have arrived in Arabia after Ad was annihilated by a colossal black cloud with the ferocity of a hurricane, an obvious reference to
the volcanic eruption that accompanied the
destruction of Atlantis. Previously, Ad was a
palatial island-capital, and Bedouin to this
day apply the expression as old as Ad to anything of extreme age.
It would appear, then, that fifthgeneration survivors from one of several natural catastrophes that devastated the
kingdom of Atlantis fifty centuries ago built
Iram-Ubar in what is today the Dhofar Province of southern Oman. It grew to become
one of historys longest-lived cities, flourishing for some 3,500 years, until it suffered
a fatal disaster different from, yet strangely
parallel to, the far more potent cataclysm
that overwhelmed the Atlantis of its founding
fathers ancestors.
But Irams Atlantean implications reach
beyond these cultural comparisons, into our
own time. For as long as men could remember, Iram was just a legend, a fit subject
for the writers of fantasy or allegorical fiction. Yet, less than 25 years ago, its ruins
came to light for the first time. Enduring
myth became archaeological reality. So too
the myth of Atlantis has persisted over
time, and must some day, like Iram-Ubar,
take its rightful place in history.

Jim SteinmeyerThis is
the seminal biography of
the twentieth centurys premier chronicler of the paranormal, Charles Forta
man whose very name gave
rise to an adjective, fortean,
to describe the unexplained.
By the early 1920s, AmeriNEW!
cans were discovering that
the world was a strange
place. Fort could demonstrate that it was even stranger
than anyone suspected. Steinmeyer goes deeply into the
life of Fort as he saw himselffirst and foremost, a writer.
At the same time, Steinmeyer tells the story of an era in
which the certainties of religion and science were being
turned on their heads and of how Fort, significantly, was
the first man who challenged those orthodoxies, not on

a universal field of consciousness and is therefore
eternal, surviving the
passing of the physical

spiritual practices to make

that transition maximally
auspicious. These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy, in which base elements are discarded and higher
levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness
beyond physical death. These spiritual preparations are
symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions
as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent
in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees
until it comes to rest in the bosom of the infinite, thereby
becoming immortal.

ENTANGLED MINDS: Extrasensory

Experiences in a Quantum Reality Dean
RadinIs everything connected? Is it possible to perceive
without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such psychic phenomena are rare talents or divine gifts. Others dont believe they exist at all. But the
latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are
both real and widespread, and are an unavoidable consequence of the interconnected, entangled physical reality we
live in. Albert Einstein called entanglement spooky action
at a distancethe way two objects remain connected
through time and space, without communicating in any
conventional way, long after their initial interaction has
taken place. Could a similar entanglement of minds explain
our apparent psychic abilities? Dean Radin, senior scientist
at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, believes it might. He reveals the physical reality behind our uncanny telepathic experiences and intuitive hunches, and he debunks the skeptical myths surrounding them.

information once known to ancient cultures but apparently lost over time. Mirrored in the structure of this code
are the ordering principles of the universe and, intriguingly, also the harmonic ratios of music. Our notions of
what is harmonious in music may therefore arise not from
an abstract aesthetic sense but as a response to an intuition of a fundamental cosmic harmony. The resonance between biology and cosmology shows that life is music,

Zen, this tradition has been an oral one emphasizing the
relationship of teacher to student. But there have also been
extensive writings on this tradition, and The Inner Journey

NEW!
contrary to orthodox perceptions, King Jesus and
Queen Mary Magdalene were the richest couple in the Levant, owning a city-state in eastern Syrio-Jordan and a private army. The Romans wanted to impose taxes on Jesus
and Mary, an imposition that provoked the Jewish Rebellion. King Jesus fought and lost that war, and so he was
crucified, reprieved and placed in custody. The safest place
to corral this dangerous royal rebel was in a fortress at the
opposite end of the Roman Empire, which is why King
Jesus was exiled to England. In those remote Romo-Celtic
lands, King Jesus became famous once again, but there the
locals called him and his disciples King Arthur and the
twelve knights of the Last Supper Table. All research and
quotations are from original sources.

Chrichton
E. M. Miller (The Golden Thread of Time)Lost in the
thread of time, an incredible discovery has emerged from
the dust of agesdeep within the Great Pyramid is a secret
that has remained hidden for over 4000 yearsan ancient
instrument designed to unlock mysteries that have baffled
mankind for generations. The seal is broken. Within this
film you will find knowledge of the greatest magicians that
ever walked our planet. Says Philip Gardiner, who directed
this film, Crichton Miller is a man on a mission. His mission is, in my humble opinion, far more important than
the Victorian search for the source of the Nile or the 60s
race for space. It is more extravagant than the discovery of
Tutankhamuns tomb and of more archaeological, scientific and historical importance than just about anything
else you care to mention.

claims to reveal the truth

the real purpose and function of stone circles?
How are they linked to the crop circle and UFO
phenomena? Was it by chance or did an elder
human race really have intricate knowledge of the
dynamics of inter-dimensionsinal reality hundreds of thousands of years ago? Are we alone or
part of a multi-dimensional universe with the
keys to other worlds at our very fingertips?

PRIVILEGED
PLANET
Illlustra Media
Many scientists
and philosophers
have claimed that
Earth is an ordinary speck of dust
adrift, without purpose or significance, in a vast
cosmic sea. Yet
current astronomical evidence
seems to suggest
just the opposite.
Through stunning
computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos, this DVD explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our
ability to observe and understand the universe. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper
truth about purpose and intelligent design within the
cosmos?

generations and lost in the

a new science, a new terminology, to explain and expound upon the biggest beliefs
and religious systems. It has become apparent that the
truth and understanding of our inner selves is, in the end,
our ultimate quest. The void between belief and reality is
indicative of the troubled planet we live on. As we all approach a dynamic future, the answers will emerge
although they might not be what were expecting.

WISDOM OF YOUR CELLS: How Your
Beliefs Control Your Biology
Dr. Bruce H. Lipton (Biology of Belief/The New Biology
book and DVD)
This is the only lesson youll ever need on quantum
physics and cellular biology. Liptons love of teaching, his
enthusiastic speaking style, and his practical grasp of biophysics make this audio highly accessible. He says that cell
membranes are like TV receivers, picking up energy from
our thoughts, from other people, and from the universe.
Thinking about living organisms in terms of matter or
mere heredity overlooks the web of energy that links everyone and everything in the tangible world. Lipton says
that genes change according to the signals they read
from the environment in continuous feedback loops. This
phenomenon and our unique capacity for awareness could
delay the sixth great human extinction and further our evolutionary ascension.
