ith our last issue (#55), Atlantis Rising ini-tiated a number of improvements to our overall presentation and, gathering from the feed-back so far, they have been well received in-

deed.In addition to better paper (heavier, whiter and smoother) we

also instituted a number of design changes made possible by betterprinting technology. Many have noted approvingly that picturesand colors now go to the edge of the page without stopping at anartificial margin (the printer’s term for this capability is “fullbleed”). The magazine has also incorporated much morecolor over all.

Some of our more serious content-centered readersmay shrug off the value of such changes—consigningthem to the realm of cosmetics rather than substance—and they have a point. We too believe that content shouldcome first, a belief that remains the basis of our editorialpolicy. However, we also believe there are many importantreasons why such ‘mere packaging’ details should not beignored, and we do not speak simply of increased news-stand sales—as welcome as they may be.

Since its inception, this publication has sought to fill agap in the media marketplace. We have aimed to provideauthority and substance to a realm which had previouslylanguished at the edges of public awareness. The conventionalwisdom regarding our domain—ancient mysteries, unexplainedanomalies, future science, etc.—was that it existed only at thefringes, and was thus not worthy of serious attention. Its resultingabsence from the pages of the so-called mainstream press only re-inforced the point. Our kind of alternative news was not coveredbecause it was ‘not important,’ and that ‘unimportance’ was provenby its lack of coverage—a classic vicious circle. Knowing, as we did,that so much valuable material never saw the light of day becauseit had been damned as unworthy of public attention by the paradigm police, we set outto do something about it.

In Atlantis Rising, we wanted to make tangible, matters which had been virtuallyephemeral before, and we thought the best way to do it was to take a few pages from theestablishment playbook. We believed, that contrary to popular misconception, therewas actually a tremendous wealth of material on the so-called fringe (we preferred tothink of it as the ‘frontier’), and that, were it to be assembled in a credible and objectivemanner, it would take on a new luster and, perhaps, even authority. Just as establishedpublications from Time to Scientific American, from National Geographic to PopularScience, lend weight, deserved or not, by their polished presentations of subjects cov-ered, we wanted to provide a similar boost to the gravitas of alternative science.

The result has been surprisingly rewarding. Just as a seed crystal in the appropriatesolution grows dramatically, our readership has expanded with relative quickness asmany have discovered the larger outlines of controversies they once thought entirelyone-sided. In fact, the feedback from our efforts has, we believe, provided welcomenourishment to some hitherto underfed but not unworthy causes. And we now seesome once feeble activities showing new signs of life.

So, it has become clear—if you will forgive another sports metaphor—anything wecan do to improve the appearance of this magazine, and thus its public acceptability,advances the ball for our side. We hope you agree and will continue to cheer for theteam. As you do so, we expect to find even greater opportunities to score valuablepoints.

Creationist DesignsI am a fan of your publication

Atlantis Rising Magazine and readit often. And in the latest issue inregards to your editorial “The Pol-itics of Intelligent Design” I feel Imust make a few points clear.

You see, I am on the frontlines of this debate, so-to-speak,being a resident of Dover, PA andmy oldest daughter attends thehigh school there. While youmake a lot of very good observa-tions in your article you must un-derstand that the Dover schoolboard’s intention was not to intro-duce an alternative to evolution,but to find a way to teach,through alternative means, theirown beliefs, i.e., Creationism. Themembers of the Dover SchoolBoard have already confirmed thismuch themselves.

While I am a proponent of I.D.myself I do not agree with theviews or methods of the Dover School Boardand was against this proposal from the begin-ning. Bill Buckingham, the chair for the cur-riculum does a good job summing it up here:

“Biology,” he said, was “laced with Dar-winism.” He wanted a book that balancedtheories of evolution with Christian crea-tionism, and he was willing to turn his towninto a cultural battlefield to get it.

“This country wasn’t founded on Muslimbeliefs or evolution,” Buckingham, a stocky,gray-haired man who wears a red, white andblue crucifix pin on his lapel, said at themeeting. “This country was founded onChristianity, and our students should betaught as much.”

So basically, the teaching of I.D. was notthe intention of the school board but (wasrather) to push their own faith-based agenda.

I hope I’ve cleared up some misconcep-tions about what the actual debate in Doverwas all about. Unfortunately I.D. may becomea casualty of the battle.

Currency Mystery ContinuedI just read the letter to the Editor in your

January/February issue asking about the geo-metric design on the Iraqi 10,000-Dinar(note). Simultaneously I’m reading ZechariaSitchin’s Book I of the Earth Chronicles andthe design appears 40% or so similar to Cu-neiform. Perhaps I’m way off base.

I also wanted to write and thank you forAtlantis Rising and your magazine’s truththat continuously sparks the imagination. After all, isn’t that what the human spiritcraves and what archaeological researchshould be about?

Nancy BeangWashington, DC

This is regarding the “Currency Mystery”question posed by one of the readers, aboutthe strange geometric design on the Iraqi10,000-Dinar note.

The design is related to the person pic-tured there, Alhazen. Alhazen was an Iraqiscientist and pioneer in optics, mathematics,physics and astronomy. He was first to ex-

plain the apparent increase in thesize of the moon and sun whennear the horizon and he also dis-covered the laws of refraction.

The design is nothing but oneof his doodlings, so there are nosinister goings-on involved here.

Roswell RevisitedThe narrative that you are

about to read is true. A largeamount of the information is veri-fied by records from the NationalArchives.

During World War II my GreatUncle held the rank of Captain asa bombardier on a B-17 FlyingFortress; when the war was overhe was assigned to the Judge Ad-jutant General’s office at Wright-Patterson Army Air Base in Ohio.His job was defense attorney. Inthe last week of June of 1947, hewas given the case of a Private ac-cused of the crime of theft of gov-ernment property at RoswellArmy Air Base in New Mexico. Inorder to prepare the defense ofthis Private, he traveled to Ros-well to interview (him). When hearrived at the stockade at Roswell,he told the Military policemanthat was on duty there that he was

from Wright-Patterson and was there to seethe prisoner. My Great Uncle believed thatthe Military policeman knew who he wastalking about. My Great Uncle was surprisedwhen another Military policeman led him toa cell block that was separate from the rest ofthe compound. The Military policeman toldmy Great Uncle that the prisoner had noteaten since the prisoner was brought in. MyGreat Uncle asked the Military policemanwhen that was the answer he got was July the5th. They stopped before a cell inside the cellsat a small man. My Great Uncle said the manwas about four feet tall, pale looking skin(like someone who had not been out in thesun for a long time) and whiteness of hair,wearing a greenish-gray garment like a flightsuit. My Great Uncle knew this was not theprisoner he was there to see and told the Mil-itary policeman that he had seen enough.They left the building. Later my Great Unclewas visited by two men, both dressed in ci-vilian clothing, that told him they were withthe FBI. They asked him why he was thereand what did he see. My Great Uncle toldthem. After a few more questions the two >


men left. My Great Uncle did his interview ofthe right prisoner and left Roswell. Onceback at Wright-Patterson, my Great Unclewas interviewed by two more men, one fromthe FBI and the other Army Intelligence. Atthat time he signed a document stating thathe would not inform any one of what he sawat Roswell. Three months later my GreatUncle was released from military duty andreturned home.

After I first heard this account from myGreat Uncle I never put any stock in it butlater on I began to check into the genuine-ness of what he said. In the National Ar-chives I discovered old flight plans, listingmy Great Uncle as a passenger and amember of the flight crew leaving Wright-Patterson Army Air Base heading for RoswellArmy Air Base. The time frame for this flightwas July 7, 1947. I believe that my GreatUncle had seen one of the survivors of thelegendary Roswell crash.

Because of my work I will just sign thisletter as:

RunestonesJust read the “Runestones” article in At-

lantis Rising (#54). Male and bovine imagescome to mind. I am not as schooled as(Frank Joseph, the article’s author). My workis that of a layman who believes he has foundlarge geo-facial images. I would call them ge-oglyphs but they are not simplistic in form,nor lacking in detail. These images are froma few years back in my research. Theyuse recent satellite imagery of North Africa(see picture).

You mention the male/bovine cosmolog-ical creation myth. Wouldn’t it be rather sig-nificant if one had more than just the runesafter seventeen thousand years? The imagesand words following are from my web site(http://www.gizafaces.com).

The Kiss of the Golden Calf!Now, do your homework. Look for refer-

ences to the kissing of the calf or golden calfin ancient history and one will find a cornu-copia of biblical references and historical ref-erences. Of course what could these imageshave to do with anything historical? Mostpeople would dismiss this as pure folly. Herewe see a gentleman (outlined in green mask)with dark and deep eye sockets sporting abeard. He very much resembles the maleunder the Sphinx and the male image in the“Lovers” on the Giza plateau and on Mars.The calf image has the eyes highlighted foreasy reference, Notice the mitered head pieceon the calf with horns, a cross, and solar diskat the top.

Time Travel ParadoxEvery time that I hear time travel sce-

narios, I find them not only humorous but atrifle naive. Each one seems to involvechanging the past or the future by injectingan element (the time traveler) not in theoriginal setting. What if we don’t fully under-stand the laws of time travel to begin with?

What if a being, set in the future, cannotexist in the past? What if, by traveling back toa time wherein he (or she) does not exist,that individual is also affected by the flow oftime and becomes “unmade” himself? Thatwould seem to explain why he may have en-countered so few people in this world whohave actually claimed to be time travelers. Ofcourse, it also seems to end the plot before itbegins, which is why that theory hasn’t, asyet, made its way into the science fictionnovels.

Writtenand narrated by Atlantis Rising editorDoug Kenyon, the video is based pri-marily upon the discoveries of Cam-bridge-trained scholar and authorJohn Michell. The program demon-strates how a mysterious network ofperfectly straight tracks, laid out forhundreds of miles across the Englishlandscape, proves the great advance-ment of pre-historic science. Michell’sdeep insight into the origins of Eng-lish culture illuminates a startling newvision of the roots of civilization.

gesting that many features in the Bahamas,including the celebrated Bimini Road and anunderwater platform near Andros Island,were part of prehistoric port facilities, andvery much older than conventional archae-ology would have us believe (see AtlantisRising #51, “Atlantis in the Bahamas”).

Micol has also identified several myster-ious linear features near Andros, which sug-gest human engineering of some type and de-mand further on-site investigation.

the scientific world abuzz, andwhile many talk smugly of how thenew discoveries might fit into con-ventional theory about the area, sofar, not enough is known about thebottom of Nantucket Sound todraw any firm conclusions.

It is safe to say that over 5,500years ago there were forests wherenow there is sea. In the remains ofthose forests, perhaps besideformer riverbeds, some scientistshope to learn answers to the riddlesof human history in North America.Engineers mapping a proposedwind farm were astonished to dis-cover the ancient remains under 6 feet ofmud.

While it is generally conceded that sealevels would have risen considerably at theend of the ice age, the full implications ofthat fact have only begun to be investigated.According to conventional science, roughly10,000 years ago much of the world’s waterwas locked up in glaciers which began tomelt rapidly, inundating large coastal re-

E gions all over the world. GrahamHancock has argued in his bookUnderworld that we should look forthe remains of pre-diluvian civiliza-tion in these regions. Hancock alsomakes the point that, while scien-tists usually think of the rise inocean levels as gradual, in fact, itwas often sudden and catastrophicas massive ice dams gave way re-leasing immense torrents in an in-stant. In such a scenario it is easyto see how a developed seaside civil-ization could have been destroyedin a flash, leaving only folktales inthe surviving—more primitive—areas further inland.

While woolly mastadon teethhave been pulled up miles from shore, so farscientists have found no human artifacts inthe area. Victor Mastone, director and chiefarchaeologist of the Massachusetts Board ofUnderwater Archaeology, however, thinkssuch discoveries ultimately will come.

It is still uncertain if the necessaryfunding will be forthcoming. While some ex-perts doubt the worth of such efforts, Ma-stone and his team plan to follow through.

indeed. Hellyer made his views public forthe first time in September at an event ti-tled: “Exopolitics Toronto: A Symposium onUFO Disclosure and Planetary Direction”(www.exopoliticstoronto.com). The eventwas organized by former Carter administra-tion official Alfred Webre who has beenpushing for policy overtures to aliensthrough the coming years in what he hastermed a “Decade of Contact.”

Hellyer argues that the Bush administra-tion’s stated desire to put a base on themoon is motivated by a plan to observe,monitor and shoot down incoming alienspacecraft, an objective to which he strenu-ously objects. Like many of his politicalbrethren, Hellyer sees the U.S. as a paranoidbully and insists that there can be no goodreason to behave defensively toward inter-planetary visitors, who, he believes, come inpeace. Of course, many of those who con-sider themselves to have been the victim ofalien abduction and experimentation, asdocumented by the late Dr. John Mack, BudHopkins, Linda Moulton Howe and manyothers, might beg to differ.

he federal judge presiding over the cele-brated Dover, PA Intelligent Design (ID)

trial has ruled against the local school boardand its attempt to require the teaching of IDin high school classrooms. The issue thoughis far from resolved.

For U.S. district Judge John Jones, intelli-gent design is simply fundamentalist crea-tionism in disguise, and the claims of theschool board were merely a subterfuge tocover their real intent to replace the teachingof evolution with their own faith-based doc-trine, creationism.

Proponents of ID saw things differentlythough. Casey Luskin of the Discovery Insti-tute, a Seattle-based think-tank that cham-pions intelligent design theory, criticized theruling. “The judge thinks intelligent design isa supernatural explanation, but it clearly isnot. So the entire decision is predicated on afalse perception of intelligent design,” Luskintold the Reuters News Service.

At this point it seems that Darwinistshave succeeded in their campaign to asso-ciate intelligent design with creationism inthe public mind, and thus to undermine thelegitimacy of the ID case. The assertion thatthe classic materialist/Darwinian model of ev-

TINTELLIGENT DESIGN BANNED

olution can account for the “irreduciblecomplexity” of some natural systems re-mains the ruling position, so far. And anyonequestioning that proposition runs the risk ofbeing labeled anti-science, or worse.

“This is by no means the end of thisissue, legally speaking,” said Luskin, addingthat the court has jurisdiction over only partof Pennsylvania.

Among the mysteries which still baffleDarwinian science is the shore crab who, with

one pincer lost, just grows a new one.

PaulHellyer ould skyscrapers cause earth-

quakes? According to one scien-tist at National Taiwan NormalUniversity—Taipei 101—the tallestbuilding in the world has trans-formed one of the world’s moststable geological areas into anearthquake zone. Geologist ChengHorng Lin’s paper, in the scientificjournal Geophysical Research Let-ters, argues that Taipei 101 hastriggered at least two recent earth-quakes.

The building, says Dr. Lin,which stands 1,667 feet high andweighs 700,000 metric tons, isamong the heaviest manmadestructure on earth and its pres-ence has opened up an ancientfault zone. If Lin is right therecould be huge ramificationsworldwide. Tokyo, for instance,may have to abandon plans forSky City 1000, an immense ver-tical structure, which, it washoped, would help to solve thecity’s overwhelming housingproblems.

Large manmade structureshave been fingered before asthe cause of earthquakes. Forinstance, the Koyna Damearthquake in India in 1967which killed 120 is usuallyblamed on just completedconstruction. But, weight isnot the only source of prob-lems. A 2001 quake in theNorth Sea is attributed to alarge release of pressure re-sulting from gas extraction.In America, a magnitude 5.5earthquake in the RockyMountains in 1967 was acti-vated by large quantities ofwaste which had been in-jected beneath the ground.

Many scientists, how-ever, are unprepared toblame Taipei 101 for therecent quakes, arguingthat the building’s weightis a mere pinprick to theearth’s crust, whichwould have virtually noeffect ten miles downwhere the fault has ap-peared.

o the ranks of public officials who havedecided that UFOs are real and important

can be added Paul Hellyer, the former Cana-dian Minister for National Defense. Hellyer,in fact, is now among those who believe thatthe United States is weaponizing space inorder to shoot down alien spacecraft.

The former defense minister claims thathis own interest in UFOs came about, not be-cause of anything he saw while in office inthe early 1960s, when he says he was kept outof the loop, but rather because of his investi-gation of the work of Colonel Phillip Corso,whose book The Day After Roswell impressedhim deeply. Corso has argued that most ofthe major technological innovations of thelast half century have been the result of alieninfluence. After being informed by a friendand trusted expert that everything Corso saidwas true, and more, Hellyer has pursued thematter diligently and become convinced thatthe UFO issue has major policy ramifications


nventor Boris Volfson of Huntington, In-diana has achieved what many thought

was impossible. We are NOT talking abouthis invention of an antigravity space vehicle.We ARE talking about his acquisition of aUnited States patent for the same. With theissuance of U.S. Patent 6,960,975 in No-vember of 2005, Volfson became the first toobtain one for such a technology, but if hethought his troubles were over he was mis-taken.

In a veritable storm of derision the “skep-tical” press attacked Volfson, his invention,and the patent office. When news of thepatent appeared in the Journal Nature, theworld press jumped to report it, but hardlyanyone bothered to mention whether or notthe invention would work. Most were far toobusy denouncing a system which might givecredibility to something which might “defythe laws of physics.” Most ended up quoting

(http://www.canada.com/vancouversun) Richard Carrigan, a scientistwith the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois thinks theanswer could be, yes.

For Carrigan the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)project which enlists millions of personal computers in the hunt forET life is an open door to alien mischief. When astronauts go toMars, he pointed out, we will quarantine them afterward to ward offany possible alien contamination, and be believes we should be doingsomething similar to guard against alien computer viruses whichmight enter through the tens of thousands of home computers leftrunning to help search for life on other planets as part of theSETI@home network. The signals being analyzed are radio wavesfrom space. Carrigan says those signals could carry a virus.

“The probability of a contaminated SETI signal is difficult to esti-mate, but if we never consider it the chance of infection is not zero,”he writes. Then there’s radio signalling, which has already told agood part of our galaxy that we’re here, he argues.

“An intelligent system 50 light years away detecting earth’s firstradio signals could have broadcast a return signal that would now bereaching earth,” Carrigan writes. “There are about 400 stars withinthis 50-light-year sphere.”

Scientists are too trusting, he says, “In science-fiction, all thealiens are bad, but in the world of science, they are all good andsimply want to get in touch,” he writes.

Powered by a super-conducting shield,Volfson’s craft would change the space-timecontinuum in such a way as to permit it todefy gravity. However, don’t expect to be ableto get your own working model anytimesoon, since its operation requires a nuclearreactor.

In the meantime, it is worth remem-bering that while many unorthodox inven-tions are laughed off the stage without littleor no serious attempt to investigate their ca-pabilities, because the current high priests ofscience have declared them impossible: in-deed many of the miracles of modern sci-ence, now taken for granted—from poweredflight to television, from computers to la-sers—were also once so dismissed.

HARNESSINGLIGHTNING


ydrogen energy may be the wave of the future but thatdoes not mean that Ben Franklin was on the wrong

track. For at least one Boston inventor, the secret of har-nessing lightning, a la Ben Franklin, could be in convertingit to hydrogen. Todd Livingston says he thinks he can uselasers to capture lightning bolts which will then be chan-neled through a large tank of water, theoretically producingnear-limitless quantities of hydrogen.

According to Wired Magazine Livingston believes a net-work of lasers in a lightning prone area like Florida couldproduce all the energy the world needs. He’s got a patentand he’s looking for investors, but, the skeptics say, laserscan’t control lightning, at least not yet.

Livingston is just one of many looking to cash in on hy-drogen. Wired reports that the federal government’s an-nounced intention to invest $1.2 billion in hydrogen overthe next five years and the promise by GM and other automakers to spend large sums on the development of hy-drogen fuel cells has created a gold rush of inventorslooking for cheap hydrogen. To some, says Wired, hydrogeninventions are becoming the perpetual motion machines ofa new age, and once again we hear the complaint that mostof these devices violate the laws of nature.

Fortunately, in our ‘more enlightened age’, such viola-tions do not get you burned at the stake or thrown in jail—at least theoretically. The preferred sanctions these daysusually take the form of public scorn or career destruction.Breakthroughs still happen, but more in spite of, than be-cause of, the system.

EARLY RAYS

he legend of bigfoot may havetaken a big step late last fall with

the dating of fossilized remains foundin remote caves of southern China.Leading primate researcher Jack Rink,professor of geography and earth sci-ences at McMaster University in On-tario, Canada, found a skeleton of Gig-antopithecus blackii and dated it tobetween 300,000 and a million yearsago. The animal did coexist with hu-mans at the time, Rink says, and itmight, indeed, be the original sourceof the bigfoot legends, if not KingKong.

Weighing as much at 1200 lbs. andstanding nearly ten feet tall, Giganto-pithecus would clearly have beenmuch feared by its human neighbors.Many believe, though, that instead ofbeing hunted into extinction it simplyretreated deeper and deeper into theforests where it continues to surviveand to avoid its ancient enemy, man.

Los Angeles paleoanthro-sculptorBill Munns has created a replica whichhe believes approximates the appear-ance of Gigantopithecus. The sculptorand his friend posed for pictures re-cently in Bill’s back yard.

n Egyptian mythology Apophis was thespirit of evil and destruction that worked

to plunge the world into eternal darkness.Today Apophis is the name given to a smallasteroid, roughly 390 meters across, whichappears to be on something close to a colli-sion course with earth. Discovered in 2004,the space rock could possibly hit in 2029with 100,000 times the energy released inthe nuclear explosion at Hiroshima. And if itfails to hit us in 2029, it might just swingaround the sun again and strike us in 2036.

Lately some scientists have begun toworry publicly about the threat from Apo-phis. According to the British newspaper TheGuardian a London meeting of experts onNear Earth Objects has issued warnings anddeclared that efforts to deflect the asteroidshould begin now. It would take decades todesign, build and test the required tech-

The danger posed by Apophis, and other,as yet undiscovered, and perhaps muchgreater, threats from space has gained a newlevel of recognition in recent years. In Jan-uary, the first of four telescopes in Hawaiiusing the world's largest digital cameraswere set to begin a new program intended toprovide much more detailed informationabout threats from space. Called Pan-STARRS, the congressionally directed pro-gram is intended to bolster earth's earlywarning system from asteroid and cometthreats. Whether all of this means we haverealized the danger in time remains to beseen.

vapor in which previous experi-ments had frozen light, is thatthe crystal atoms are fixed so theinformation can be retained, notlost, as with gases. So far,though, the information still dis-sipates, only more slowly.

In theory, quantum com-puting will be able to manipulate

data at a volume and speed infinitely greaterthan today’s electronic computers, possiblycapable of such incredible operations as tele-portation or maybe even time travel.

Water-as-Fuel Inventors Get Their Own Museum

he paths that lead to obsession withnovel energy technologies vary, but their

first steps are often similar. Most inventorsI’ve met, for instance, recall that as a childthey were fascinated by some aspect of sci-ence or the workings of nature. They tore ra-dios apart, built gadgets and, if they werelucky enough to have heard about him, wereenthralled with the story of genius inventorNikola Tesla.

James Robey, on the other hand, beganhis search for a new energy source in a ma-nure pile.

As a child he had no interest in followingin the footsteps of his father, a space flightengineer who worked on secret projects forthe government. Although proud of his fa-ther’s prowess in physics, James majored inmusic in college, preferring the beneficial,instead of destructive, uses for sound fre-quencies. After college he married, traveledand eventually began a commercial cleaningbusiness in Lexington, Kentucky, to supporthis growing family and, incidentally, give ahelping hand to many Spanish-speaking im-migrants. He and his wife Shawnee seem tobring the missionary zeal of their religion towhatever they undertake to do.

The Robeys have a hobby farm outsidethe city, and James was shoveling the stinkystuff when he had an idea—an inventor’smoment. Why not extract the heat from amanure pile to heat buildings? Turned outthat his method didn’t work, but trying tofind out the reasons did propel him onto theInternet researching alternative energy pos-sibilities. He stumbled on water-as-fuel tech-nologies and found his research passion.

Years before, Robey had heard about awater-fueled car, but had dismissed it asnonsense. A car that needs no carbon-basedfuel and runs on water, thus producing nocarbon pollution, is a utopian dream. Itwould clean the air as it moves down theroad. Right.

But this time, during online research, thehistory of the water car caught his attentionand he began to read all he could find on thetopic and quiz anyone who would talk aboutit. The history goes back to the 1800s and in-cludes a number of patented inventions. Inthe twentieth century, inventors such as Dr.Andrija Puharich and Stanley Meyer drewsome public attention—generally more at-tention to their other problems than to theiradvancements in the water-fuel field. Water-as-fuel inventions also bubbled up in SouthAmerica, the Philippines, Europe and else-

where. Using water as a source of combustible

fuel actually goes back two full centuries,Robey noted, but no one was telling thepublic about it. The year 2005 was in its lastdays when Robey told me, “I’m the only onewho has been saying that in 2005 everyoneshould have celebrated the 200th anniver-sary of the first internal combustion enginerunning a car—and it was running on hy-drogen! Gasoline wasn’t being sold backthen.”

In 1805? Yes, in that year a Swiss magis-trate and inventor named Isaac de Rivas pow-ered a vehicle with a hydrogen-fueled IC en-gine—hydrogen garnered by electrolysis ofwater. It had only been five years sinceBritish scientists learned how to do electrol-ysis—break up water into hydrogen and ox-ygen using electric charge. Robey found apicture of de Rivas’ wooden-bodied funky-looking car. Robey fumes about the decisionto drop the water-fueled line of research andpower the world’s vehicles with gasoline.“Don’t try to tell me that 200 years of tech-nological advancement hasn’t brought us theability to improve on something that wasdone before radio, TV, space travel…”

Robey learned that the Swiss magistrateapplied for a patent and received it two yearslater, in 1807. At that time Switzerland was

too isolated from the rest of Europe for de-Rivas to be internationally known and getcredit for his “first.” Instead, history bookspraise Reverend William Cecil of England forhis hydrogen internal-combustion engine,circa 1820. DeRivas’ work was discovered inthe middle of the twentieth century, but,since then, how many school students aretaught the true history?

The situation reminds me of the publicacknowledgment withheld from Nikola Teslafor so many decades. In 1943 the U.S. Su-preme Court ruled that radio was the brain-child of Tesla, not of Guglielmo Marconi.Tesla had the fundamental radio patents.However, all too many history books didn’tever correct the public’s impression thatMarconi is Mr. Radio. Tesla’s biographer Mar-garet Cheney wrote, “Errors once committedto print are stubborn.”

Back to James Robey, because he and hiswife exemplify the power-from-the-peoplespirit that I see emerging here and therearound the world more and more frequently,Robey decided that what’s needed is a mu-seum, a physical location where people cansee and touch the unpublicized history andwhere local tinkerers would be inspired tohelp make water fuel a reality. He decided to

Fancy Footwork in Mexico

here is some fancy scientific footwork going on in the case of recently discoveredfootprints in Mexico.

In 2003, some curious tracks were found in solidified volcanic ash deposits (theXalnene tuff) in the dried-up bed of the ancient Valsequillo Lake near Puebla,

Mexico. The ash fell in prehistoric times from the nearby Toluquilla volcano and laterturned to stone. Silvia Gonzalez, aBritish geoarchaeologist, investigatedthe prints in the Xalnene (pronouncedHall-nay-nay) tuff. According to a newsreport published in Nature Online (July4, 2005), she said there were over 200prints, including those of humans, birds,and animals with cloven hooves. Gon-zalez reported that the tracks were41,500 years old. The age was obtainedby Thomas Higham of Oxford University,who used the carbon 14 method to datepieces of shell from a layer above thefootprints. The age of 41,500 years wasrevolutionary, because the oldest humansite in the Americas generally acceptedby mainstream archaeologists is theMonte Verde site in Chile, which has anage of about 14,500 years.

In a report to the BBC News website (July 5, 2005), Gonzalez said: “It’sgoing to be an archaeological bomb, andwe’re up for a fight.” She was right.

In December 2005, Paul Renne andhis team of geologists and archaeologistsannounced a new date of 1.3 millionyears for the layer of rock containing thefootprints. Renne is director of the pri-vately funded Berkeley GeochronologyCenter and is also a professor of geologyand geophysics at the University of Cali-

fornia at Berkeley. Renne and his coworkers obtained their date using the argon/argonmethod, which measures the ratio of two isotopes of argon (argon39 and argon40) in rock.

The great antiquity of the layers containing the footprints was also confirmed by paleo-magnetic dating. Over long periods of time, the magnetic field of the earth reverses its po-larity. Renne found that iron oxide grains in the rock had a polarity the opposite of that ofthe earth’s magnetic field today. The last reversal of the polarity of the earth’s magnetic fieldtook place about 790,000 years ago, so the rock containing the Mexican footprints has to beat least that old.

Chris Stringer, head of human origins studies at the Natural History Museum inLondon, said, “The new dating is far beyond any credible evidence of humans in the Amer-icas. Some experts had questioned whether the prints were indeed human, and this issue

iNEWSwill now have to be reexamined very carefully.” (EpochTimes, Dec. 7, 2005)

To such suggestions, Silvia Gonzalez replied, “Even ifwe are wrong and the ash is indeed 1.3 million years old, that is not au-

tomatically a reason to disregard interpretation of the features reported asfootprints, simply because they are not in agreement with the established

models for the settlement of the Americas.” (Epoch Times, Dec. 7, 2005)

What I find most interesting is that scientists are using the very age of the tracks todeny that they are human footprints. This clearly backs up the point that I made in For-bidden Archaeology, namely, that scientists often reject evidence for an ancient human pres-ence simply because it contradicts their current theory of human evolution, which holds thatthe oldest humans like us go back no more than about 150,000 years.

Here is one of several examples of this phenomenon from the recent scientific reactionsto the new dating study. A report in Nature Online (Nov. 30, 2005) said: “Marks that werehailed as the earliest traces of humans in the Americas may not be what they seem. A datingstudy puts the age of the volcanic ash in which the indentations were found at 1.3 millionyears, which casts fatal doubt on the theory that they are footprints.”

Such doubtsare based on themistaken beliefthat there is no evi-dence that humanswere present in theAmericas (or any-where else in theworld) over onemillion years ago.But there is suchevidence, as I docu-mented in For-bidden Archae-ology. I will focuson some cases fromthe Americas.

In the earlytwentieth century,the renowned Ar-gentine paleontolo-gist Florentino Am-eghino announcedthe discovery of a human skull at Buenos Aires. He thought it was primitive, but the Amer-ican physical anthropologist Ales Hrdlika demonstrated that the skull was in fact anatomi-cally modern. On the basis of the modern anatomy, Hrdlika concluded that the skull must bequite young, only a few thousand years old. As he put it himself in his 1912 report (EarlyMan in South America, p. 2), “The antiquity . . . of any human skeletal remains which do notpresent marked differences from those of modern man may be regarded, on morphologicgrounds, as . . . not reaching in time, in all probability, beyond the modern . . . geologic for-mations.” But the original reports of the discovery show that it was found at a depth of 45feet, beneath a thick unbroken layer of limestone rock. The skull was found in the Pre-ensanadan formation, which according to modern geological reports is over one million yearsold.

At Miramar, in Argentina, even more ancient discoveries were made. In 1914, Carlos Am-eghino announced the discovery of a flint arrowhead, found solidly embedded in the thighbone of an extinct South American mammal called Toxodon. The bone was discovered in thelate Pliocene Chapadmalalan formation, which gives the find an age of about 2—3 millionyears. Later, more human artifacts and a human jaw bone were found in the same formation.The discovery of the jaw fragment is noted by Hugo Obermaier (Fossil Man in Spain, 1924, p.306): “In 1921 M. A. Vignati discovered further human remains at Miramar, not far fromBuenos Aires, consisting of a fragment of lower jaw with two molars still in it. According toVignati it came from the geologic formation of Chapadmalal.” Anthropologist Eric Bomansaid in his report that the teeth were identical to those of modern humans.

So if the impressions found by Gonzalez are in fact footprints and are in fact 1.3 millionyears, they would not be alone as evidence for the presence of anatomically modern humansin the Americans over a million years ago.

Renne admits the possibility that the impressions, if they are footprints, could have beenmade by some ancient apeman. At 1.3 million years, that would have to be Homo erectus. But

the foot structure of Homo erectus is not known. In Nature (Nov. 18, 2004, p. 351) DennisBramble and Daniel Lierberman say “we currently lack any H. erectus feet.” For all we know,they could be quite different from modern human feet. If we are to stick to what we knowfrom actual physical evidence, the only creature known to science with a foot like a modernhuman foot is Homo sapiens.

Some scientists, like geologist Mike Waters of Texas A&M University, believe that the im-pressions found by Gonzalez could have been formed when heavy rains eroded marks left bymining tools in the solidified volcanic ash deposits. Although this seems unlikely to me, it is apossibility that has to be considered. Scientists who propose the idea that the impressions are

not real footprints say they would beconvinced only if human footprintscould be found in layers of ash notnow exposed on the surface. Gon-zalez has received a grant of 375,000dollars from the British Natural En-vironment Research Council to dosuch research early in 2006.

Interestingly enough, the newfootprint site by the Valsequillo Lakeis not too far from another contro-versial site in the same region—theHueyatlaco human artifact site.Here, human artifacts were found byarchaeologists. In the 1970s, geolo-gists obtained an age of about250,000 years for the artifact-bearing layers at Hueyatlaco. The ar-

chaeologist in charge, Cynthia Irwin-Williams, rejected the age, saying thathumans capable of making the artifactsdid not exist 250,000 years ago any-where in the world, not to speak of theAmericas. In fact, Irwin-Williams re-fused to publish the age for the sitegiven by the geologists, and gave thesite a far younger age, within thebounds of mainstream scientific accept-ability. Eventually, the geologists inde-pendently published the 250,000 yearage for the site (Quaternary Research,1981, vol. 16, pp. 1—17)

Virginia Steen-McIntyre, one of thegeologists involved in dating the site,wrote in a letter (March 30, 1981) toEstella Leopold, associate editor ofQuaternary Research: “The problem asI see it is much bigger than Hueyatlaco.It concerns the manipulation of scien-tific thought through the suppressionof ‘Enigmatic Data,’ data that chal-lenges the prevailing mode of thinking.Hueyatlaco certainly does that! Notbeing an anthropologist, I didn’t realizethe full significance of our dates backin 1973, nor how deeply woven into ourthought the current theory of humanevolution has become. Our work at Hu-eyatlaco has been rejected by most ar-chaeologists because it contradicts thattheory, period.”

Regarding the new tracks, my current belief, pending further studies, is that the tracksare probably human footprints and that they are 1.3 million years old. The other main possi-bilities are (1) they are 1.3 million years old and are tracks of Homo erectus, (2) they are41,500 years old and are human, (3) they are not real tracks. So that is where things standnow. If there are any significant developments, I will report them in this column.

the quake and subsequent tsunami may be ahuge real world application of the Gas Laws,which say that when pressure decreases, sotoo must temperature and volume. Thisisn’t a problem when it’s only a soap bubbleor balloon that shrinks, but it’s a big dealwhen we’re talking of the sudden subsi-dence of a big chunk of crust with an oceanmashing down upon it at a pressure ofabout 10,000 atmospheres. Essentially, theargument advanced is grounded in ChaosTheory, specifically the concept of a “tippingpoint.” Colloquially, it’s easier to think of itas being the proverbial “straw that broke thecamel’s back.” No matter how you slice it,though, it all comes down to that last tinyelement of stress and instability being ap-plied, after which everything comes com-pletely unglued.

In support of their argument, the au-thors provide a plot showing a marked cor-relation between oil consumption from1900 to 2000 and earthquake frequency. Cu-riously, this fits remarkably well with bothengineering and metaphysics.

In engineering a technology called vis-cous dampening is used to limit vibrationand, for certain applications, providesmooth tracking. Crude oil is nothing if notviscous, and it’s well known that the earthwobbles as it rotates. If the undrilled oil ofthe planet acts as any kind of viscous damp-ener at all, then it stands to reason thattaking it out willy nilly and in large quanti-ties could have all sorts of tectonic, even ro-tational stability, ramifications. This is pre-cisely what certain metaphysical texts say,too, indicating that we haven’t learned thisvital lesson yet. There may well be anotherdampener in the equation, too, for there isno reason, either, that the earth’s stillburied natural gas could not well be oper-ating in the manner of a pneumatic shock

HIDDEN POLITICS

• BY JOHN KETTLER

2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake article(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake), drawingon a variety of sources, lists the quake’s du-ration as being an astounding ten minutes(a typical quake lasts about a minute orless), the final magnitude as 9.15, but theenergy release as being somewhere between.25 and .80 gigatons (no explanation is of-fered for the disparity between the knownenergy equivalent for a 9.0—32 GT—andthe modest numbers given in the cited ar-ticle). That article also says the quake’sforce was enough to make the entire planetwobble and even pared down the equatorialbulge enough to increase the rotation rate,shortening the day by a few microseconds,information confirmed by Pacific TsunamiWarning Center scientists interviewed onthe NOVA tsunami report which aired De-cember 27, 2005. Still, despite the lack ofany kind of alerting network, those scien-tists were able to warn parts of Africa as towhat was coming and save many lives. Evenso, they remain haunted by what happenedand wish they’d been able to do more.

The Very Large-Scale IndustrialAccident Theory

Essentially, as proposed by the Pure En-ergy Systems web site in their “CouldExxon-Mobil Works Have Tripped Indone-sian Tsunami?” (http: //pesn . com / 2005 /01 / 25 /6900062_Exxon_Tripped_Indo-nesian_Tsunami/), this relies on a col-lapsing bubble model, except that thebubble that collapses is made of stone, notsoap, and the gas which filled the bubblewas natural gas, not the usual air.

The area near Bandar Aceh, Sumatra, In-donesia is the site of an enormous naturalgas field, from which, in just the last fouryears, a cubic mile of gas has been ex-tracted. The authors argue that the cause of

iven the recent first anniversary ofthe devastating Indian Ocean quakeand tsunami, the disturbing in-sights gleaned in researching

“Weather Wars” in the last issue, and a spateof provocative, articles on the Internet sug-gesting that the historic tsunami may nothave been a natural event, but may, in fact,have been a kind of gigantic industrial acci-dent or even, as some believe, tectonic war-fare to make the super-rich richer at a verygreat expense of the world in general, itseems appropriate to investigate.

According to the standard public ac-count, there was first a quake at 00:58:53UTC, then fifteen minutes later a tsunamihit northern Sumatra, an event for whichthere were no detection networks and noapparent contact protocols. Consequently,there was no warning other than that pro-vided by animals fleeing inland toward highground. It was a most curious quake, con-sidering that the magnitude, as reported bythe U.S. Geological Service, was first 8.1,but then kept climbing, briefly topping outat a staggering 9.3 on the Richter scale, be-fore winding up at 9.0, per the official 2004number, an energy release equal to 32 giga-tons.

To put that number into perspective, perBrian Atwater, affiliate professor of earthand space sciences, University of Wash-ington and a USGS geologist writing in theNovember 6, 2003 online issue of UniversityWeek, it would take 70 days of Hurricane Is-abel to produce the same energy release as amagnitude 9.0 earthquake. Long yearsspent, by this reporter, watching how theUSGS tends to both under-report quakemagnitudes and not even report some at all,might suggest that official accounts of thisevent ran contrary to the usual pattern.

Revelation. Johannite he-retical wisdom is evident

in the design via the iden-tification of a Messiah—the figure prophesied to

found the holy city of the future—as beingnot Jesus but John the Baptist. Such a desig-nation is consistent with the ancient Johan-nite heresy, which stated that John was bothMessiah and founder of the gnostic Johan-nite path that leads to the intuitive vision ofthe Heavenly Jerusalem. According to thisheretical tradition, there were two Messiahsor Chosen Ones, with John, the Priest Mes-siah, one rung above Jesus, the incarnatedKing Messiah. If the Johannite Heresy istruly the key to understanding the Templarscroll now in Belgium it must be allowed

ccording to one esoteric tradition,after excavating the foundations ofSolomon’s Temple for nine years theTemplar Knights left the Middle

East with five “caskets” or cases full of treas-ures they had collected in the Holy Land.These cases, the story goes, were eventuallydeposited in Kilwinning, the Mother Lodge ofScottish Freemasonry, before being trans-ported to Rosslyn Castle, ancient home of theSinclair Barons of Rosslyn, where they werekept safe until a fire broke out in thebuilding. The cases were then quickly re-moved from the castle and very soon after-wards the construction of Rosslyn Chapel of-ficially began. Thus, it appears that thechapel may have been built specifically tohold the five cases.

This notion was ostensibly corroboratedin the 1990s by Andrew Sinclair, who con-ducted ground scans at Rosslyn and discov-ered five rectangular objects or boxes in thecrypt underneath the Chapel. Sinclair’s dis-covery has fueled speculation about whatmight be in the cases, including notions ofartifacts associated with Solomon’s Templeor Herod’s Temple, and possibly some an-cient scrolls. It has been conjectured thatsome of the imagined artifacts in the caseswere discovered by the Knights via clues theyfound while studying obscure Essene texts, atheory recently corroborated by the discoveryof the Copper Scroll, oneof the Dead Sea Scrolls.Clues found in the CopperScroll have led archaeolo-gists to empty pits inclose proximity to Tem-plar symbols andweapons, thus ostensiblyrevealing that theKnights had overseen thesecret excavations andthen absconded withwhatever treasure theyfound. The hypotheticalscrolls that may existwithin the five cases havebeen theorized to includegenealogical informationregarding a familyspawned by Jesus andMary Magdalene, or, as-sert authors ChristopherKnight and Robert Lomasin The Hiram Key, pos-sibly Essene information regarding the ori-gins of Freemasonry. But at present all thatcan be said for certain about the scrolls isthat one of them contains a diagram withsymbols recalling the mysterious JohanniteHeresy, a gnostic belief system into whichthe Templars may have been initiated in theHoly Land.

that the Knights were Johannites and em-braced a greater veneration for John the Bap-tist than Jesus. Furthermore, if they were Jo-hannites then they practiced a gnostic pathcomprised of heretical rites that culminatedin an inner revelation regarding the natureof the universe and the goal of human exis-tence. This would explain why the five caseswith their Johannite scrolls ended up inRosslyn Chapel. The Sinclair builder of theChapel considered himself to be a caretakerand preserver of the Templar’s gnosticwisdom. Earl William Sinclair was a GrandMaster Freemason of the developing ScottishRite, an order that had descended directlyfrom the Templars who had fled France andlater made their home in Scotland.

posterity—secrets which would prove thatthe Templars were Johannite gnostics andheretics—were indeed the Templars’ BiggestSecret.

The Disbelief of Pope Clement VAccording to conventional history, the

first intimation that the Vatican had re-garding the Templars gnostic and Johannitepredilections came to the surface during theKnights’ depositions for allegations of heresyin 1307. Then, in 1308, Pope Clement V dis-banded the ruthless Inquisition so that hecould privately interview the TemplarKnights himself. At stake was his own privatebodyguard of knights, which since the timeof Pope Honorius II and the Council ofTroyes in 1128 had been the Holy See’s per-sonal militia. The Knights had been accusedof a litany of heretical offenses, any one ofwhich could have been reason to cast theminto the holy fires of the Inquisition, butsince many of the Knight’s confessions hadbeen extracted under extreme torture theircredibility had been compromised. There-fore, having himself never fully believed thedamning allegations against his belovedTemplars, Clement V confidently called for72 Knights to be transported from Paris tohis villa in Poitiers in southern France wherehe was sure they would recant their previoustestimonies. Imagine his surprise when, afterinsuring the Knights that they were safe inhis home no matter how damning their con-fessions might be, the Templars refused todiscredit the confessions previously extractedfrom them in the dark and dank torturechambers of Paris. Pope Clement, who wasessentially a pawn put into office by KingPhilip, could only scratch his head in disbe-lief and lament that his Knights hadsomehow strayed from the straight andnarrow. To his dismay he had found out con-clusively that all the vile allegations againstthe Templars were indeed true. The Pope wasfinally forced to accept the fact that he hadlost his knights. Later, within the silence ofhis quarters the distraught Pope must havewondered whether the Templars had evertruly been a Christian army of the Church.

What the Vatican Really KnewSince the time of Templars’ private audi-

ence with Clement V a body of evidence hasbeen forming to prove that although thePope was blind to the Knight’s heretical ac-tivities, other informed Church officialswithin the Vatican did indeed know abouttheir heretical propensities. For example, ac-cording to testimony given during the Tem-plar trails from one Father Antonio Sicci,some of the Knights’ gnostic activities hadbeen witnessed by Vatican spies in Palestinewell before 1307. It also became clear duringthe Templar trials that both the Vatican andKing Philip of France had had their spiesoverseeing the Knights’ activities in Europebefore 1307 because some of them were laterchosen as witnesses for the prosecution. It Continued on Page 61

TEMPLAR SECRET

was because of the evidence uncovered bythese early spies that months before theTemplars’ mass arrest King Philip knew ex-actly what heretical activities to instruct his12 specially selected spies to look for whenhe had them infiltrate certain Templar pre-ceptories. The monarch may have alsoknown what heresies to look for from stud-ying information contained within a secretTemplar document. This document, entitledBaptism of Fire of the Brothers-Consulate,and often referred to by Templar historiansas the “Secret Rule of the Templars,” waslater discovered in 1780 in the Vatican Li-brary by a Danish Bishop. Said to have beenwritten in A.D. 1240 by a French TemplarMaster named Roncelinus, it appears to givea green light to all the heretical offenses thatthe Knights were accused of in the 14th cen-tury. Permission to indulge in all manner ofTemplar heresy can be found in this docu-ment, including defilement of the Cross, de-nial of Christ as the Savior, sexual liaison,and the worship of the idolic head known asBaphomet. There is even a passage withinthe document that gives the Knights permis-sion to initiate other gnostics into theirorder, including Cathars, Bogomils and evenAssassins. If the Baptism of Fire of theBrothers-Consulate was indeed in circula-tion beginning in A.D. 1240 it would havebeen an easy task for a Church or Royal spyto procure a copy for their employers.

The Knights of St. JohnA more substantial bit of evidence in sup-

port of the notion that the Vatican was awareof the Templars heretical Johannite affilia-tions came in the mid 1800s when Pope PiusIX gave his famous “Allocution of Pio Nonoagainst the Free Masons.” In fact, this ad-dress implies that the Vatican may haveknown all along about a heretical Templar-Johannite relationship.

At the time of his momentous address thePope was receiving immense pressure totake a stand against the uprising of nu-

It has been noted by many that the de-signs and motifs of ancient architectureoften reflect and in many ways try to mimicthe patterns, signs and signals found to natu-rally occur in our environment. Most not-ably, for this report, are the many variationsof the basic waveforms, be it sine wave, saw-tooth wave, box wave or the endless variety ofspirals and wave forms that adorn ancientcave wall, temples, and structures and appearin architecture, scrolls, tablets and inscrip-tions throughout the ancient world.

As mentioned earlier, the EM Spectrumexists naturally, occurring as a part of ournatural environment. And again, acknowl-edging the ancients’ intimacy and interde-pendency with nature, it would not be sur-prising if they possessed some knowledge ofthis naturally occurring “tool.”

What evidence exists, and what kind of ev-idence may come to light, to support such aclaim?

There is no question that as it has alwaysexisted, the EM Spectrum is a naturally oc-curring part of our environment, comprisedof a continuous sequence of electromagneticenergy arranged according to wavelength orfrequency, as generated by particle motion(vibrations) and pulses created from manysources.

There is also no doubt that many ancientcultures had a connection with nature andnatural forces that was fundamental andcould only be described as intimate and pro-found in ways we moderns can merely at-tempt to comprehend.

From ancient times to today, humanshave demonstrated an inherent curiosity andthe desire to understand mysterious and oddphenomena, signs and images. For the van-

poses were (maybe) to arrange a communi-cation channel among various islands.”Smutny speculates about the legend of Si-rens, “Their singing modulated low-frequency signals, which were generated onopposite ends of temples (in windows and indoors) simply with a bell, or with vibratingmetal plates, or even with a strong winddrafted through a wall opening.”

The oval multi-chambered configurationof the Maltese temples would allow signalsformed from groups of air particles, beforeoutput, to be amplified in a second parallelopposite oval spaces of the temple.

As a radio frequency engineer, I findthese possibilities fascinating, and while pon-dering them I had a bit of a revelation,namely, a birds-eye view of the temple struc-ture and configurations in Malta, in manyways closely resemble an antenna propaga-tion pattern with its main beam lobe, sidelobes, and nulls (between the lobes).

Odds are, of course, this is all simply co-incidence, but it poses the interesting ques-tion: Exactly what is the unique and specifictemple design layout of Hagar Qim andMnajdra based upon? What impetus and in-fluence dictated those architectural configu-rations so long ago?

I design digital wireless networks uti-lizing the EM Spectrum, transmitters, re-ceivers, modulators and antenna. I also dopropagation prediction modeling using pow-erful computer programs. The programcreates a model showing how a location willperform using different antenna, elevation,azimuths and power settings. Sites arechosen based on how well the location prop-agates a signal.

Again, when I noticed how the landgently dropped away for a great distancefrom a temple location, I couldn’t help thinkhow ideal that is for signal propagation whendesigning sites that can transmit great dis-tances.

Is it possible some ancient temple loca-tions were chosen for similar reasons? If thetemple location were part of some kind ofcommunications or energy distribution net-work utilizing the EM Spectrum, I’d say theywere.

Is it possible a correlation exists betweenthe Maltese temple architecture and antennapropagation patterns? Perhaps, but much

Continued from Page 28past century, exploiting the wavesand frequencies of the EM spec-trum for the first time? And per-haps more importantly, if ancientculture did possess this knowledge,where did it come from and howwas it processed?

Electromagnetic radiation hasbeen around since the birth of theuniverse. Light is its most familiarform. Electric and magnetic fieldsare part of the spectrum of electromagneticradiation, which extends from static electricand magnetic fields, through radiofrequencyand infrared radiation, to X-rays.

From written history it appears thatmany of the concepts now familiar in EMtheory were explored and developed during atime when many modern high-tech investi-gative and detection tools and methods didnot exist.

But is it possible that the ability to ma-nipulate the particles and waves of the EMspectrum was discovered and developed evenearlier than written history suggests? Couldit be that many of the symbols, images, ar-chitectures, and myths of ancient culturesare representations reflecting the possessionof such technological knowledge?

Observing what he believes to be powerplant plans on ancient tapestry, and micro-processor design in Egyptian temple layout,Slovakian researcher Dr. Pavel Smutny haswritten, “Maybe it is unusual and surprising,but in ornaments on old carpets are woven-in schemes, and principle plans of advancedtechnologies, which come from vanishedcultures and thousands-year-old civiliza-tions. These residues are probably the lastones, which can help revive forgotten, verysophisticated technologies and methods forexploitation of natural electrostatic energysources.”

On the Egyptian temples Smutny con-tinues, “If we see plans for the Valley templeat Sphinx, or of the Mortuary temple atChephren’s pyramid, or the Mortuary templeat Menkaure pyramid, or also of Osereionfrom Abydos, to a person familiar with thebasics of computer techniques, or evenbetter, to a person experienced with con-struction of microwave circuits in bandsabove 1 Gigahertz (GHz), he will tell youthat these plans are schemes of PCBs (boardsfor electronic circuits).”

If, as Smutny suggests, these tapestrypatterns and temple layouts are representa-tions of fragmentary remnants from long-lost science, what could have been the orig-inal source, other than a previously existingtechnologically advanced civilization? Ofcourse, more evidence is needed before anysolid conclusions can be drawn.

Turning his attention to the ancienttemples of Malta, Smutny explains,“…Complexes were used probably as genera-tors of high-frequency acoustic waves. Pur-

ALTENATIVE SCIENCE

e are conditioned to look at his-tory as a linear progression fromone stage of development to thenext with irregular gaps in the

timeline to be filled in as our database grows.The generally accepted picture from main-stream science is of a gradual evolutionarydevelopment of the geosphere and biosphereup to the present day. Any hint that there issome anomaly in this progression is metwith skepticism from the scientific commu-nity, an attitude with which readers of thismagazine have become all too familiar.

Most of you who read these pages haverealized that, when confronted with stories,tales, and epics of bygone eras, there is aneed to consider the extraordinary evidencewhich they may represent of true events, notjust mythological fabrications invented byour creative ancestors. Thus, we should treatthe ancient tales of pre-diluvian civilizationas something based on fact, worthy of inves-tigation and exploration rather than dis-missal. Such accounts as the tale of Atlantisare seen as potentially real, not merely sym-bolic. In these stories we hear, time andagain, of cataclysm and catastrophic changethat has altered the geological record andwiped out the substantial evidence which weseek, but should we believe it?

Despite the orthodox penchant forthinking of time as a linear progression ofevents, plenty of evidence that natural move-ments do indeed occur in cycles has turned

Wup—just as the priests of Sais told Solon inPlato’s account of Atlantis. And, we shouldnot be surprised. After all, when one looks atthe structure of the cosmos from the atomicto the galactic, a pattern of motion in circlesand spirals is apparent, a regular repetitionof conditions as in the recurring seasons ofthe year and the motion of the planetsthrough the zodiac.

If a celestial body, in an ongoing repeti-tion of orbits, returns to a previous positionwith respect to other celestial bodies wehave a cycle and the possibility for encoun-ters with previous conditions that exist rela-tive to the planet’s location in space. Thesecycles can be investigated for repeatingevents that could signal possible catas-trophic changes and, perhaps, even the peri-odic extinction of life.

In fact, an analysis of the past revealsboth small and large cycles of time to con-sider. The purpose in modeling these cycleshere is to see if it might be possible to pre-dict future threat zones and thus to preparefor what could be catastrophic changes toour world.

Let us briefly look at one much-talked-about instance that some say resulted in thedestruction of Atlantis. This event, if it reoc-curs as predicted, is only seven years fromnow.

From time to time a white dwarf star willaccumulate too much hydrogen gas from aneighbor, a process which ultimately eventu-ates in a tremendous explosion of this gasshell that lights up the star in the heavens.

This is what we call a nova. It usually occursat the final stages of a star’s life cycle.

Do we know all that we need to knowabout novas? What would happen, for in-stance, if a cloud of hydrogen gas of unusu-ally high density were to engulf our sun?Could a mini-nova result in the expulsion ofa shell of gas that would burst like a fire-storm through the solar system? Although itseems unlikely, studies of ancient history in-dicate variations in solar output that mayhave produced catastrophic changes onearth. Even today, a variation in solar lumi-nosity is occurring and scientists report thatthe slight increase in solar output may becontributing to climate change and globalwarming. There is also evidence that some ofthe other planets in our system are also ex-periencing warmer temperatures and cli-mate change. These changes could be the re-sult of increasing accumulations of cosmicdust through which our solar system ispassing.

This writer’s interest in the sun has re-cently been stimulated by reports receivedfrom a Dr. Dan B.C. Burisch, who claims heis a microbiologist who worked for ashadowy arm of the government. He tells methat preparations are being made for acoming catastrophe in the year 2012 that in-volves changes in our sun and its effects onthe earth. This is, of course, related to deci-phering the Mayan symbols that are believedto point to the winter solstice of 2012.

To summarize the predictions it can besaid that a recurring event may cause a sig-

of fossil records going back formore than 500 million years, twoUC Berkeley scientists say that lifeon earth has flourished and it hasvirtually vanished, with sur-prising and mysterious regularityin cycles of mass extinction every62 million years.

The findings are certain togenerate a renewed burst of spec-ulation among students of thehistory and evolution of life. Eachperiod of abundant life and each

mass extinction, it is argued, has itself cov-ered at least a few million years—and thetrend of biodiversity has been rising steadilyever since the last mass extinction, about 65million years ago, when dinosaurs and mil-lions of other life forms disappeared.

The Berkeley researchers are physicists,not biologists or geologists or paleontolo-gists, but they have analyzed the most ex-haustive compendium of fossil records thatexists—data that cover the first and lastknown appearances of no fewer than 36,380separate marine genera, including millionsof species that once thrived in the world’sseas, later disappeared, and, in many cases,returned.

In a new book by Michael J. Benton,When Life Nearly Died, the end-Permian ex-tinction, that is believed to have happened251 million years ago, is discussed in an at-

call it, is composed of gaseous in-terstellar media, neutral or ion-ized, sometimes concentratedinto dense gas clouds made up ofatoms, molecules, and dust. All ofthe matter—gas, dust, andstars—rotate around a centralaxis perpendicular to the galacticplane. It is generally believed thatthe centrifugal force caused bythis rotation balances out thegravitational forces, which drawall the matter toward the center.

According to the conventional wisdom,all stars in the galaxy rotate around a galacticcenter but not with the same period. Stars atthe center have a shorter period than thosefarther out. The sun is located in the outerpart of the galaxy. The speed of the solarsystem due to the galactic rotation, it is said,is about 220 kilometers a second. The disk ofstars in the Milky Way is about 100,000 lightyears across and the sun is located about30,000 light years from the galactic center.Based on a distance of 30,000 light years anda speed of 220 km/s, the sun orbits aroundthe center of the Milky Way once every 225million years. That period of time is called acosmic year. The sun, it is generally believed,has orbited the galaxy, more than 20 timesduring its 5-billion year lifetime. The mo-tions of the period can be determined, it isargued, by measuring the positions of linesin the galaxy light spectra.

Many do not think that anythingspecial will happen, but others believe thatthe Mayans recorded significant events andused precise calendars to forecast the recur-rence of periodic cycles marked by suchevents.

Why would the intersection of our sunand solar system with the Milky Way’s equa-torial plane constitute a noteworthy event?According to one web site, “The auspiciousyear of 2012 indicated in the long-count cal-endar illuminates the fact that the Preces-sional movement of the Winter Solstice Sunwill gradually bring its position into align-ment with the very center of our Galaxy. Forthe Maya, this is like the last stroke of mid-night on New Year’s Eve only in 2012, theNew Year, is the New Galactic Year of 26,000solar years. The Galactic Clock will be at zeropoint and a New Precessional Cycle willbegin.” (http://www.kamakala.cm/2012.htm).

Closer observation of weather and cli-mate changes seems warranted. Will the sunbecome more active, we wonder. Indeed,there have been more X-class solar flares andcoronal mass ejections in the past few years,and strangely, during a period of time whenour sun, according to conventional wisdom,should have been quieting down.

The sun is just one of hundreds of billionof stars in our galaxy. The Milky Way, as we

he noted American astronomerHalton Arp jumped through all thehoops of big bang theory and discov-ered one of its major flaws, that ob-

jects from the same source have drasticallydifferent red shifts, and thus the big bangwas a big bust. Instead of having the big bangcommunity confirm and celebrate his dis-covery, it ostracized him, denying him tele-scope time, space in scientific journals andspeaker time at conventions. When otherswithin the big bang community startedcoming up with the same results, they wereprovided with similar treatment.

D.L. Dotson shares a charming story thatrelates to mass gravity in “Dirac’s Equationand the Sea of Negative Energy” in issue #43of Infinite Energy Magazine. Dotson says hewas questioning his professors on the factthat the conservation of mass and energycould never be violated. This author had longsince come to the conclusion that the realreason for the conservation of mass and en-ergy law is that mathematical equations, thesource of empirical science, have to be lim-ited, and thus mass and energy have to belimited.

But Dotson didn’t realize that empiricalscience has to ignore reality to exist, andpointed out to his professor that somethingcalled “pair production”—where a proton

T


creates an electron-positron pair with energybalanced—didn’t account for the spin of theelectron that was needed to stabilize the re-sult. Where, Dotson wanted to know, did theenergy that produced the spin come from?

“We regard spin angular momentum asan inherent property of the electron and posi-tron, not as a violation of conservation.” hisprofessor replied.

“But,” Dotson insisted, “if it is real en-ergy, where does it come from?”

“Inherent property means we don’t talkabout it,” his professor replied, “and youwon’t either if you want to pass this course.”

Dotson was later told his attitude was dis-rupting the class and there was no chance ofhis completing a graduate program inphysics. He, like me, switched to a languagemajor but became a professional landsurveyor.

This is much the same reaction I receivedwhen questioning that gravity is a property ofmass. When empirical science needs to limitthe terms of its equations, it blocks off realityby saying the speed of light can’t be exceeded,or that energy can neither be created nor de-stroyed or that the planets are moving instraight lines as a result of being born in aswirling mass of gas, the straight-line motionbeing altered by gravity and that the elusivegravity responsible for altering the straight-

line motion of the planets, and for causingobjects to drop, is the property of the matterthat makes up the condensing gas, thematter that is the planets.

Saying that a dynamic force results frombeing a static property is middle-age relig-ious authoritarianism, not science, but be-cause everything is learned by rote, and be-cause everyone’s living depends on that rotelearning, no one can question the learning,lest it endanger the income it produces.Anyone—if inside the scientific communityliving off the rote learning—questioning therote learning is ostracized and then if theycontinue to get publicity, they are demon-ized. Those questioning the rote learningfrom outside the community are simplyignored.

Allow me to comment on the baseless no-tion of gravity as a property of matter, a sub-ject that the scientific community will notdiscuss in public (after all, when the BoeingCompany starts to expend millions based onRussian Scientist Eugene Podkletnov’s anti-gravity experiments, the scientific commu-nity can only mumble). Why would anyonespend money on something that has beenproven impossible? As an independent re-searcher, I have remained free to trace the

years of observations for his own use.Kepler used Brahe’s data to create his fa-

mous law, that the planets sweep out equalareas in equal times. This law meant that asthe planets speed up, they move closer to thesun, and as they move away from the sun,they slow down. This gives us a sort ofrubber-band picture of planetary motion inwhich the planets are attracted to the sun,pass around it and then, as they travel awayfrom the sun, slow down until the sun startsto pull them in again.

This is another rote-learned law that isimmutable and as ridiculous as the idea thatthe planets speed up and slow down in thefirst place. The sun is only .025 off center,which means nothing, but that comets falltoward it, and in any event, the planetswould be falling toward the sun during eachhalf of their orbits and away from the sunduring the other half; so if the sun did havethe effect of causing the planets to speed upand slow down, it would be equal on bothsides of the orbit and wouldn’t result in theuniform speeding up and slowing down that

the rubber-band effect implies.Newton was able to use

Brahe’s orbital velocity observa-tions, which showed a differentconstant that applied to orbitsaround each planet and the sunto produce a theoretical prop-erty of matter he called gravity.He then made the assertion thatplanets were uniformly made upof identical particles of matterso that he could compute aplanet’s gravity by volume.

Using the resulting gravity, he created aformula that showed that the moon would begoing in a straight line but for the force ofthe earth and moon’s gravity. The equationdidn’t balance, but because it produced anexplanation for planetary motion and areason why we, on a planet that was rotatingat a thousand miles an hour, weren’t hurtledoff into the darkness of space, was acceptedas gospel, Newton was deified, his pro-nouncements made dogma, and so-called Ce-lestial Mechanics was born.

The result has been a lock on gravity, re-moving it from the table of rational consider-ation, effectively crippling our technology.Newton had ascribed the straight-line mo-tion to God, but 18th-century rationalistPierre-Simon Laplace produced the swirlingmass of gas, and the stupidity of computinggravity by volume was reversed so that themotion of the planets was used to computethe unprovable nature of the volume,whether it was iron or gas, using the assump-tion of proportional gravity.

In short, Brahe’s simple observation thatthe moon and the planets speed up and slowdown is the basis for our present-day belief,similar to the belief that the earth was at thecenter of the universe, that gravity is a prop-erty of something—and if you question it,leave the room, preferably by the window.

Brahe was a true believer in the earthbeing the center of the universe. With the

GRAVITY

Continued from Page 35mistake that led to our ignorance of gravity,and the mistake is one as simple as misap-plying the universal-time-equals-rate-times-distance formula.

We are all familiar with the story of Co-pernicus, and how his sun-centered solarsystem led to a century of controversy. Be-fore Copernicus, everyone thought the earthwas the center of the universe—much liketoday, everyone thinks gravity is a propertyof matter. Tycho Brahe was one of the mostfamous supporters of the earth as the centerof the universe. Brahe spent his lifetime plot-ting the courses of the moon and the planetsand he had this data recorded carefully injournals for anyone who could make senseout of it.

But, of course, making sense out of whatwe see is what we do as human beings, andBrahe had no intention offailing to interpret his data.Among the data he collectedwas a very interesting fact. Themoon and the planets, espe-cially Mars, appeared to speedup in the summer and slowdown in the winter.

Now, this is accepted as rotelearning today, but think aboutit. The earth is a pretty goodsize, as is the moon and, say,Jupiter or Saturn. According toBrahe’s measurements, which are just asvalid today as they were the day he madethem, the moon and the planets werespeeding up and slowing down. But it’s apretty ridiculous notion that something thesize of the moon or the planets could speedup or slow down.

What would make them do so? Well, that wasn’t important. The impor-

tant thing was, and is, that’s what they do, sowho’s to question our measurable reality?

Brahe spent most of his life carrying outhis measurements, and then along cameJohan Kepler, a person who liked to createorder out of chaos. He wormed his way intobecoming Brahe’s assistant, but he had onereal big disagreement with his boss. Keplerwas not a preCopernican believer in theearth-centered universe but rather believedthat the planets orbited a stationary sun inthe center of the solar system.

No one knows what bitter arguments thisled to between boss and employee, butJoshua Gilder and Anne-Lee Gildar givemore than a hint of the friction that musthave existed in their book Heavenly Intrigue:Johannes Kepler, Tycho Brahe, and theMurder Behind One of History’s GreatestScientific Discoveries, published by Dou-bleday in 2004. The Gildars show, throughthe exhumation of Brahe and the testing ofhis mustache hairs, how he was poisonedtwice, and how that poisoning was carriedout by Kepler to get control of Brahe’s 40

About the author: Robert Berringer is a retired Nuclear Engineer with atheology degree from Harvard University. His many honors include OmicronDelta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi and Mensa. Inspired by Graham Hancock’s “Finger-prints of the Gods” and “Heaven’s Mirror”, Robert used his academic and scien-tific skills to study the many signs of divine intervention.See “www.CloudriderBooks.net” for more information.Send Emails to [email protected].

About the book: There are many signs of many gods, especially long ago.The gods said that they visited earth from the heavens. Their periodic visits, oftencalled ages, were used to help civilize humans. This book presents evidence thatthe very difficult task of domesticating animals was a gift of the gods. All writtenrecords before 1000 BC say that the gods civilized man and taught him aboutgood versus evil. Yes, the serpent in Genesis was a god, often shown with wings.The gods visited Egypt, Sumer and the Andes about 3000BC bringing kingshipand writing from heaven to earth. The gods left many signs, including massiveand intricate stone monuments which point to the stars. The Toltecs and theMayans believed that the fifth age of man started on 3114 BC and will end on2012 AD! The first civilizations with godly kings, scripts, and calendars date to3100 BC, as does the first construction of Stonehenge and Newgrange! The firstwheeled carts and the first bronze are surely gifts of the gods at this time.Bronze, stone clamps and many other artifacts and scripts which are out of timeand place are studied as probable signs of the gods. Many of the signs point tothe heavens in the past. The author describes many of the signs which point tothe heavens in the future, especially the near future.Please join the author in his search, starting with his very well informed and stimu-lating book..

ANCIENT GODS AND THEIR MYSTERIES Will They Return in 2012 A.D.?by Robert Berringer


THE GREAT PYRAMID

ANCIENT MYSTERIES

maining stones to their places by means ofmachines formed of short wooden planks.The first machine raised them from theground to the top of the first step. On thisthere was another machine, which receivedthe stone upon its arrival, and conveyed it tothe second step, whence a third machine ad-vanced it still higher.”

Contemporary theorists, like the science-fiction author, L. Sprague de Camp, took He-rodotus’ “machines” for hoists. “As nobodyhas found any trace in Egyptian art, architec-ture or literature of anything like thesehoisting machines, it is likely that they weremerely the fantasy of some guide or priest,recounted to the eminent Greek tourist inthe hope of extracting an extra obolos fromhim.” But Kunkel looked beyond such depre-

cating attitudes on the part of scientific dog-matists who presume to know better thanoriginal sources. To him, the “machinesformed of short wooden planks” described inthe histories were not hoists, but sluice-gates,part of a coffer dam. He postulated thatstones rafted from their quarries down theNile were brought through a canal whichraised them to the Giza Plateau by a series oflocks, directly to the building site. When thecoffer dam was flooded, each block was liter-ally floated to its proper course. Once there,only four or six men were needed to quicklyand easily maneuver it into perfect positionwithout risking damage. Upon each com-pleted level, an extension of the coffer damwas built to service the next course, and so ontoward the top.

If this was, in fact, the method used by thepyramid builders, only several hundred la-borers actually engaged in placing the blocksfor perhaps five to ten years would have beenrequired to finish the job. Work requiring fargreater effort was quarrying and transportingstones to the building site. For this huge task,a national effort, involving many thousandsof laborers, was needed. Naturally, after com-pletion, every trace of the coffer dam and itsconnecting canal with locks would have beeneliminated, just as all machines today are re-moved from a building site as soon as theirpresence is no longer required. Kunkel’stheory is credible, because it was evolved en-tirely within the context of Egyptian civiliza-tion.

Not even the most hide-bound conserva-tive scholar denies that the Egyptians wereoutstanding irrigationists from the First Dy-nasty. Their mastery of the Nile upon whichthe country’s prosperity depended is univer-sally recognized. Envisioning and con-structing such a coffer dam were by no meansbeyond their experience. De Camp admits,“For pyramids built on low ground, the kingshad canals dug from the Nile partway to thepyramid, so that the stones could be broughtnear the site...” Originally, the Great Pyramidmay itself have sat in a moat of some kind. Asquare depression or shallow indentation cutinto the bedrock immediately surrounding itsbase might have been filled with water toserve as a reflecting pool. Indeed, a few Arabtraditions refer to such a dramatizing feature,and some archaeologists speculate on its pos-sibility.

Kunkel’s theory cannot elucidate every as-pect of the Great Pyramid’s construction, butmany believe it does offer the most con-vincing solution yet. His proposed coffer damcannot explain how the uppermost stoneswere brought into place. The only device ca-pable of fitting them would have been a pow-erful crane hauled up the side of the largelycompleted structure and mounted near theapex. Although hoisting stones more than400 feet into the sky would have requiredgreat skill, at least the blocks involved were

eaders of Atlantis Rising are morefamiliar than most Americans withthe mind-boggling details of an-cient Egypt’s Great Pyramid. But of

all the theories used to explain its construc-tion, one postulated by an American con-struction engineer, Edward Kunkel, in theearly 1950s, is still compelling. He was in-trigued with a passage in the Histories (II,25), by Herodotus, a travel-writer who visitedthe Giza Plateau and personally investigatedits monuments in the early 5th century B.C.Kunkel read that “the Pyramid was built insteps, battlement-wise, as it is called, or, ac-cording to others, altar-wise. After laying thestones for the base, they raised the re-

Plumbing the Deeper Waters





n the wake of Hurricane Katrina last falla horrified world watched as engineersstruggled vainly to hold back the ragingflood which threatened to overwhelm

the weakened levees of New Orleans. But, he-roic efforts notwithstanding, the swollen wa-ters of Lake Pontchartrain soon engulfed thecity. The giant pumps, designed to removerainwater from the below-sea level city—atleast those that still had electricity—continued to work at full speed. Tragically,though, the water continued to rise, soondrowning the enormous machines. Withoutthe constraining forces of the state-of the-artwater-moving technology, and with thefailure of many levees, the flood rose unde-terred and its now defenseless victims—atleast those that did not drown—were sentscurrying to rooftops to wait anxiously forrescue from helicopters.

Could secrets known to the builders ofthe great pyramid of Giza have saved New Or-leans from its flooding nightmare? A younginventor, inspired by ancient technology be-lieves the answer is yes.

At the same time Katrina was ragingthrough Louisiana, twenty-eight hundredmiles to the northwest in Washington state,John Cadman walked down a mountainsideto a stream below his house where a new de-vice he had created was sending runningwater back up the mountain, and doing so

hours in frustrating trial and errorto build working scale models, andultimately full-size pumps whichdeployed his unique design. Thefirst two attempts were terribledisappointments, generating somuch internal pressure they ex-ploded. After a year of virtuallynon-stop effort to solve the

problem he found himself exhausted.Then, on New Year’s Eve, 1999, Cadman

envisaged a solution to the pressure problemand in the ensuing January began construc-tion of pump #3. For three months he toiledon what he believed would be a pump im-mune to internal pressure, but he was takingno chances. Once again he re-examined howstandard pumps, both reciprocating and cen-trifugal, move fluids.

His study included so-called lift pumps,used on farms to draw water up a well. Some-times these need water poured into them,called priming the pump, to start the action.Force pumps, on the other hand, have apiston that slides back and forth, as in a liftpump, but the valves are different. The hy-draulic ram is an interesting type of a forcepump. Here, a column of flowing water itselfis the piston! Any rapidly flowing fluid haslower pressure than the same fluid when it is

Iwithout electrical power. Heopened a valve and his machinesprang to life with an odd sound.In operation his newly constructedpump produced a constant thump-thump-thump-thump sound notunlike a beating human heart. Cu-riously, the sound beats in timewith the human pulse—therhythm of life.

With his pump running, Cadman walkedback up to his house and watched as waterfrom the stream below flowed from pipes toirrigate his wife Ivy’s vegetable garden. TheCadmans live in Bellingham, where they alsoraise Black Russian Terriers.

Before moving to the mountains, the in-ventor had worked as a maritime engineerand a machinist. The knowledge gained fromthe two disciplines had proved invaluable increating his pump, but it did not happenovernight. Along the way he would learn agreat deal from thousands of hours spent re-searching hydraulic engineering from an-cient Egypt to the present. He was particu-larly fascinated and inspired by the theoriesof the late Edward Kunkel and his efforts toexplain the Great Pyramid as a workingpump mechanism (see Frank Joseph’s articlein this issue of Atlantis Rising).

Cadman ultimately developed his owntheories and went on to spend countless

ANCIENT MYSTERIES

ccording to most experts the dawn of Western civilization oc-curred in the fourth millennium B.C. with the sudden flow-ering of Sumer in southern Iraq and Pharaonic Egypt soonafter. This is the mainstream view that was taught when I was

a college student. Increasingly, however, it is under assault. Recent dis-coveries are challenging almost everything we thought we knew abouthuman history. In 1973 a team of archaeologists made such a discoverywhile traveling through a remote region in southern Egypt. They werenavigating by compass through a trackless waste known as the NabtaPlaya and had halted for a water break, when they noticed potsherds attheir feet. Fragments of old pottery frequently are an indicator of ar-chaeological potential, and the team returned later to investigate. Afterseveral seasons of digging they eventually realized that Nabta Playa wasnot just another neolithic site. The breakthrough came when they dis-covered that what had looked like rock outcroppings were in factstanding megalithic stones.

They also found a circle of smaller stones, which in photos look likederelict rocks. Nearby, the arrangement of larger megaliths sprawlsover a broad area. The wind-swept site is desolate beyond belief. Butthousands of years ago this forbidding waste was a well-watered grass-land and seasonally, at least, well peopled.

Today we know that the great megaliths of Nabta Playa are anythingbut random stones. Long ago, someone relocated them from a still un-known quarry–––but for what purpose? Subsequent excavations led byFred Wendorf, one of the discoverers and a much traveled archaeolo-gist, turned up an abundance of cultural artifacts, which were radio-carbon dated. The ages ranged from 10,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C., with mostof the dates clustered around 6,000 B.C., when the climate was muchwetter than now. The Nabta Playa is a basin and during this epoch it

filled with seasonal lakes. Excavationsthrough the 8—12 feet of sediments laiddown during this period showed that some ofthe megaliths had been buried intentionally.The team also found strange carvings in thebedrock under the sediments–––evidence ofgreat antiquity.

The archaeologists mapped the area andused global positioning technology (GPS) toplot the locations of 25 individual megaliths.Many others remain to be plotted. Fortu-nately, the site’s remoteness protected itfrom most human disturbance. Though themapping data hinted at astronomical signifi-cance, Wendorf’s team searched in vain forthe key to unlock the site. In 2001 they pre-sented their research in a book edited byWendorf, Holocene Settlement of the Egyp-tian Sahara. The two-volume study makesfor interesting reading. But its authors hadfew answers.

However, even as Wendorf’s book was inpress, a former NASA physicist namedThomas Brophy was quietly pursuing his ownastronomical study of Nabta Playa. Brophyhad already reviewed the sparse data pub-lished in Nature in 1998, and after Wendorf’smore extensive data became available his nas-cent theories fell into place. In 2002 Brophypresented his findings in The Origin Map. Be-cause the available astronomy software wasinadequate Brophy had to custom-engineerhis own. Thus armed, he was able to trackstar movements at Nabta Playa over thou-sands of years, and succeeded in decoding thestone circle and nearby megaliths. The Cal-


endar Circle has a built-in meridian-line anda sight-line–––both conspicuous–––which in-dicated to Brophy that the circle was a user-friendly star-viewing platform. Its design wasso simple that even a novice could have usedit. A night viewer between 6400—4900 B.C.stood at the north end of the meridian axisand allowed himself to be guided by threestones at his feet to the constellation Orionoverhead. The correspondence betweenground and sky would have been self-evident:The three stones within the outer circle arelaid out in the precise pattern of the stars ofOrion’s famous belt, before summer solsticeas indicated by the Calendar Circle itself.Once the pattern becomes familiar it is un-mistakable.

In another section of his book Brophyconcluded that Robert Bauval and Adrian Gil-bert were at least partly correct in their 1992study, The Orion Mystery, in which theyclaimed that Giza had a similar plannedstructure. Bauval and Gilbert argued that thepyramids of Giza were constructed to mirrorheaven, laid out on the ground to representthese same three stars of Orion’s belt.

Here, then, at Nabta Playa, was evidenceof a common astronomical tradition of aston-ishing longevity. Just to give you some idea,modern astronomy is about 500 years old,yet, the astronomy common to both Giza andNabta Playa survived for at least 6,000—7,000 years, possibly longer. The shared as-tronomy also suggests a shared cultural tra-dition. In fact, Wendorf’s team amassed con-siderable evidence of overlap between theneolithic Nabta culture and the much laterOld Kingdom of Pharaonic Egypt, when pyr-amid building reached its zenith. It is inter-esting that more than a century ago FlindersPetrie, one of the founders of Egyptology, ar-rived at a similar conclusion. Petrie found ev-idence that the enigmatic Sphinx was not anEgyptian sculptural form at all, but had origi-nated in Ethiopia.

Brophy’s findings also support the work ofgeologist Robert Schoch, who recently foundtelltale evidence of water erosion on the

ith an IQ reportedly off thecharts, Stephen Harrod Buhnermight rightly claim to be one ofthe most intelligent people on

the planet. Nevertheless, for this member ofMENSA, Intertel and Colloquy—all formedfor the mentally gifted—the most importantthing is the balance of head and heart,knowledge and wisdom.

After graduating from high school with aGED at 16, he has gone on to obtain degreesin mathematics and Transcultural Episte-mology, but the intelligence which has heldthe most fascination for Buhner is that foundin Nature and the earth—inspiring him toauthor ten award-winning books on nature,indigenous cultures, the environment andherbal medicine. The Lost Language ofPlants, The Secret Teachings of Plants (notbe be confused with 1960s classic The SecretLife of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Chris-topher Bird) and Sacred Plant Medicine(Inner Traditions 2006) comprise a trilogy hehopes will reinvigorate the “acuity of percep-tion.”

Buhner believes our senses developedfrom long-standing communicative contactwith Earth: “the sensory capacities ofhuman ears were shaped by sounds of theworld, our smell formed through long associ-ation with the delicate chemistries of plants,our touch by the nonlinear, multidimen-sional surfaces of earth, our sight by the im-ages that constantly flow into our eyes.”

A voracious reader (“I read at least 300—

W400 books and 1,000 articles every year”),Buhner was a rare books and manuscriptsdealer from 1990—2000 and is listed in In-ternational Authors and Writers Who’s Who.He lectures on the History of the Book, Na-ture Writing and the Roots of American En-vironmentalism, as well as on the art of bothfiction and non-fiction. Children’s authorToni Knapp claims “Stephen Buhner doesfor non-fiction what John Gardner did forthe art of fiction.” A soft-spoken guy whosevoice is similar to that of National PublicRadio’s movie critic Bob Mondello, Buhnerspeaks about “writers and the earth.” Hiswork has appeared in such publications asCommon Boundary, Apotheosis, Shaman’sDrum and The New York Times, and hasbeen featured on CNN and Good Morning,America.

Recognizing that academia wasn’t hispath, Buhner took a wilderness survivaltraining course in the Colorado mountains,rebuilt a turn-of-the-century cabin andlearned forgotten crafts after leavingBerkeley in the 1970s, then pursued trainingin psychological and bodywork therapiessuch as Transactional Analysis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Biofeedback andHellerwork Movement Re-education.

Buhner, now Senior Researcher for theFoundation for Gaian Studies, grew up inKentucky along the Ohio River.

But it was hisgreat-grandfather C. G. Harrod who deeplyinspired him.

As a physician in rural Indiana in theearly 20th century, Harrod used botanicalmedicines almost exclusively, and taught hisgrandson the magic and mystery of plantmedicine. Describing himself as an “EarthPoet,” the younger Harrod’s A Taste of WildWater is a tribute to his progenitor, and de-scribes their walks in the woods together.“There is a special kind of shadow that hap-pens in deep woods that are old and havebeen left undisturbed,” he writes. “Under-neath the canopy of ancient hardwood treesthe greens are deeper, the soil blacker, thesmells richer.

UNSUNG HEROES

• BY FRANK JOSEPH

n his Doctrine of Colors (1810), JohannWolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)writes: “In the second part [of thisbook] we occupy ourselves with the ex-

posé of the Newtonian theory which has sofar obstructed with force and prestige a freeview of color phenomena we fight against ahypothesis that, although it is no longerfound useful, still retains a traditional re-spect among men…We encounter thiseighth wonder of the world as an ancientrelic that is already abandoned and threatensto collapse, and so we begin right away,without further ado, to reduce it, beginningwith the roof, to let the sun shine at long lastinto the old rats’ and owls’ nest and reveal tothe eyes of the surprised wanderer how laby-rinthine and disconnected the building stylewas, how narrow and needy, accidental andartificial, deliberately contrived and wretch-edly patched up.”

Goethe was unquestionably Germany’sgreatest poet, author of the incomparableverse drama Faust (part I, 1808, part II,1832). But what right does a poet have, evena great one, to deconstruct the carefully

Idemonstrated theory of Sir Isaac Newton(1642—1727) that sunlight is a mixture oflight of all colors?

The answer is: perhaps some right, if thepoet is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the143 volumes of whose collected works in-clude not only poetry, plays, novels, autobi-ography, criticism and correspondence butalso treatises on mineralogy, botany,anatomy and optics. Goethe was a phenom-enon, hardly a man: “Every new work byGermany’s greatest poet and writer was readas soon as it appeared and was totally unpre-dictable,” writes philosopher Walter Kauf-mann. He was also strange: “His wisdomabides, but it seems to come from some solarsystem other than our own,” declares Yalescholar Harold Bloom.

Scion of a wealthy and loving upper-middle-class Frankfurt family, Johann Wolf-gang von Goethe early displayed a virtuositywith language that mesmerized all who lis-tened. He studied law at the University ofLeipzig and graduated, but ultimately prac-ticed little. Vigorous, brilliant, seductive,original, witty, insightful, prodigiously in-dustrious and extremely attractive towomen, Goethe soon became a primary forcein the German literary movements of Senti-

mentalism and ‘Storm and Stress,’ producingscores of gallant love poems and, at 22, a suc-cessful five-act drama, Götz von Berlichingen(1771).

At 24 Goethe created a sensation with hisbest-selling novel The Sorrows of YoungWerther (1774), which tells the story of aprofoundly self-absorbed man who falls inlove with a woman who is already engaged,grows more in love with her as he finds hecannot have her, exiles himself for awhile—and then, returning to a final refusal, blowshis brains out with the revolver of his now-married beloved’s husband. Werther struck achord in pre-Romantic Europe: there ensueda spate of copycat suicides by those believingthemselves in Werther’s predicament. Ac-cording to one source there were 24 suchsuicides in Germany in 1774 alone. The fatalfad didn’t die out until the end of the cen-tury.

In Catholic-Lutheran Germany of the18th century, suicide was a mortal sin, andeven its portrayal in literature was consid-ered sinful. The daring and rebellious Goethecouldn’t have written Werther were he notmoving light-years beyond conventionalChristianity. By age 20 he had decided thatimitating Christ was pointless and one ought

to find the best in oneselfand imitate that. By hisearly 30s, Goethe wasspeaking of Christianitywith derision, declaringin 1782 that “I for mypart could not be per-suaded by an audiblevoice from heaven thata woman has givenbirth without a man orthat a dead man has risenagain; on the contrary I re-gard these as blasphemiesagainst the great God and Hisrevelation in Nature.”

The poet/novelist/playwright had beensomething of a pantheist very early on, be-lieving that God inhabited a Nature made be-nevolent by His presence. This belief wasshattered forever in June 1777 when his be-loved sister Cornelia, only 26, died fourweeks after giving birth to her seconddaughter. Ever afterward Goethe carriedwith him, in the words of his biographerNicholas Boyle, “a tragic awareness of thepossibility that a human being may have toface an ineluctably wretched destiny and thatneither earth nor heaven may offer any re-sponse to the cry of the heart for love.”

But if God was inscrutable, perhaps evennon-existent, Goethe would always believethat huge powers resided within the humanbeing, and in 1775 this already wholly auton-omous individual, open to anything, hadtaken an administrative post in the Duchy of

Saxony-Weimar not farfrom Leipzig. On and off

for the rest of his lifeGoethe spent timeevery week in the

splendid 300-room,22-staircase, Versailleslook-alike palace of theDuke Carl August, ful-filling there a dazzlingvariety of tasks that in-

cluded at one point beingacting Prime Minister ofWeimar for two months.

During all these years, Goethenever stopped writing poetry and

prose, but he would soon discover that hisadministrative functions took a toll of hisspiritual energies. This was one reason whythe poet/privy counselor turned his atten-tion to the physical sciences; he found abalm to the soul in the silent communionwith nature that these studies offered.

Was Goethe deeply interested in the oc-cult? In all his works there is only the rarereference to the paranormal. In Poetry andTruth (1811—1822), Goethe tells us that, re-turning from a visit to his first love, Friede-rike Brion, one night when he was 21, “Iwas riding, on horseback, over the path toDrusenheim, when….not with the eyes ofthe body but of the spirit, I saw myself onhorseback coming toward me on the samepath. I was dressed in a suit I had neverworn before, pale grey and with some gold.As soon as I had shaken myself out of this

reverie, the vision vanished. It is strange,however, that I found myself, eight yearslater, once again on the same road, returningfrom Friederike and wearing, not by designbut by chance, just this sort of suit.” His as-sociate Johann Peter Eckermann quotesGoethe as saying that premonitions occur indreams because we can sometimes “extendthe feelers of our soul beyond the limits ofour body,” adding that such dreams were notmere “presentiments” but actual “insightinto the immediate future.”

On balance, though, Goethe had far moredisdain than respect for the staples of eso-terica, including in particular secret societiesthat purported to harbor the wisdom of theages. Inducted into the Masons in 1780,Goethe quickly advanced through the usualgrades and joined the order within the order,the Illuminists, in 1783. Soon, though, hewas writing: “They say you can best get toknow a man when he is at play…and I toohave found that in the little world of thebrethren all is as it is in the great one….I wasalready saying this in the forecourt, and nowI have reached the ark of the covenant I havenothing to add. To the wise all things arewise, to the fool foolish.” In 1790 he wrote acomedy, The Grand Kophta, that harshly sat-irized the Masons; in it he portrayed, strictlyas a swindler, the real-life figure of ‘CountCagliostro,’ a Rasputin-like Italian who,claiming to be thousands of years old,

But like sun sign as-trology forecasts, or personality descriptionswhich appear in newspapers and tabloids, it’spremature to judge a complex discipline ofthought from humorous stereotypes.

The Chinese lunar calendar is actually achronological device which dates back to2637 B.C.E. when the Chinese EmperorHuang Ti introduced the first cycle of the zo-diac. The Chinese calendar is the longestchronological record that we know of and iscomposed of the Ten Heavenly Stems andthe Twelve Earthly Branches which werecreated as a means of keeping time. The tenstems each had an archetypal quality, per-haps like the numbers, and the branchestook on more mundane characteristics.Twelve signs and ten planets are the arche-types which also combine in astrology andQabalah. In the Chinese calendar this can beseen as two turning wheels, which engage

Alike gears as they turn, similar to the wheelof days and numbers in the Mayan Calendar.Since most people were illiterate the TwelveBranches were also named after animalswhich would be easy to remember.

Unlike the Western perspective of time,which tends to see the passage of years aslinear, the Chinese calendar is cyclical. It’seasier to imagine a circular calendar if wethink of a clock with twelve numberedhours. Every time the hour hand goesaround, or the digital numbers cyclethrough, we come back to the same place onthe clock.

Although the Chinese adopted theWestern calendar in 1911 for official andbusiness reasons, the lunar calendar still de-fines important festivals such as the majorcelebration of Chinese New Year. One com-plete cycle of the Chinese lunar calendartakes sixty years and is made up of five cyclesof twelve years each. Although the animalsrepeat every twelve years, the combination of“stem” and “branch” only happens once inthe cycle. Since its inception seventy-sevencycles have completed. The current roundbegan in February of 1984 and will end inFebruary of 2044.

Chinese New Year begins at the secondNew Moon after the Winter Solstice and isseen as the onset of spring rather thanspring equinox. The date of the beginning of

the New Year changes each year as the lunarcalendar does not move in sync with thesolar calendar. This year January 29, 2006heralds the year of the Dog, and from aWestern astrological perspective, this is theNew Moon of Aquarius.

Twelve AnimalsEach year in a twelve-year cycle of the

Lunar Calendar is named after an animal.One legend tells the story that when LordBuddha was ready to depart the earth hesummoned all the animals. Only twelvecame to say goodbye. As reward for theirfaithfulness he named a year after each ofthem in the order in which they arrived tosay their farewells: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit,Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey,Rooster, Dog, Boar. Each of the animals getsa turn to head the year in successive twelve-year intervals.

Some versions of the story include ele-ments of betrayal and trickery and involvesubplots explaining why certain animalswere omitted from the twelve. In one versionthe gods were asked to decide who would gofirst in the cycle of years so they devised acontest and twelve candidates were sum-moned to the bank of a river. Whoeverreached the other side first would lead theyears. Unknown to the swift swimming Ox,the Rat had jumped on its back. As the Ox

was about to climb out of the water, therebywinning the place of honor, the Rat leapedashore. Boar, according to this version of thestory, was reputed to be slow moving andsomewhat lazy, so he climbed out last. Andso the order was decreed even though somemight think the Rat cheated. This viewseems to hold more philosophical realismfor the slings and arrows of fortune.

Fifth ElementWestern astrology has twelve Sun Signs

divided into four elements: fire, earth, airand water. Chinese astrology contains a fifthelement to combine with the twelve lunarsigns. The five elements of Chinese astrologyare wood, fire, earth, metal and water. As thesixty-year cycle of five elements and twelvesigns rotates, the animal signs combine withthe five elements. The quality of the NewMoon half way between Winter Solstice andSpring Equinox therefore is colored by theinfluence of each branch and stem in turn,adding a unique aspect to the year’s char-acter.

The elements are further divided intotwo qualitative aspects, Conducive and Con-trolling. Understanding the interrelation-ships of these elements can provide a deeperunderstanding of Oriental philosophy. TheConducive quality shows how one elementflows from another and how they are interre-lated. For example, Water is said to comefrom Metal. Metal can form a container tohold Water and Metal is the only other ele-

ment that changes into a liquid. The Con-trolling influence is a bit like the childhoodgame of Scissors, Paper, Rock. In this senseWood is said to be controlled by Metal asthe tallest tree can be chopped down by ametal ax. The idea is that each element ispart of the whole and they are interrelatedand linked in a cyclical pattern of life.

What’s Your Sign?The astrological or interpretive aspect

of the calendar developed later. Atfirst, the combined influencesdescribed an overall quality tothe year cast in the light ofthe second New Moon afterthe Winter Solstice. Laterthe lighthearted and oftenhumorous qualities as-cribed to everyone born inthe year were layered ontothe calendar.

In polite Chinese society,knowing the animal ofsomeone’s birth year is also anonintrusive way to discern theirage without asking. Knowing the animal ofthe year of their birth, and the place thatanimal falls in the cycle of years, simplearithmetic reveals their age. This also pro-vides a common ground to open a conversa-tion.

What follows are a few descriptions ofthe twelve animals and is a bit like a menuin a Chinese restaurant. It’s meant to be en-

tertaining, like a Fortune Cookie, which inci-dentally was an American invention. Thenext time you’re in a Chinese restaurant youcan toss out the opening conversationalvolley. Remember that the Chinese New Yearwill always begin some time after January 21.

SEARCH FOR THEREAL MT. SINAIExploration Films

Did you hear the oneabout a former cop and acommodities trader?Well, they teamed up,falsified documents toenter the SaudiKingdom, crawled intoforbidden military instal-lations using night vi-sion goggles, and filmedtheir discovery of over adozen significant rem-nants still remaining at asite they believe to bethe real Mt. Sinai.

“The location of Mt.Sinai, also called Mt.Horeb, has baffled ar-chaeologists andscholars alike for years.The Bible talks aboutthis mountain in thebook of Exodus..., butdid Mt. Sinai ever really exist, or was its Bib-lical account only myth and legend?” asksthe narrator.

A southern Californian, Bob Cornuke, be-came a cop at age 21. FBI trained, he espe-cially enjoyed the investigative and researchside of his job. Larry Williams, a sophisti-cated commodities trader, says he’s “a jack ofall trades, a master of none” and his work en-ables him to pursue his need for adventure.Their interest in locating the real Mt. Sinaiwas triggered by Apollo 15 astronaut, Col.Jim Irwin, the eighth man to walk on the

moon. Irwin gave a letter to Williams writtenby a man who had been in Saudi Arabia andwho had discovered what he believed to bethe real Mt. Sinai and he included directions,stating that he couldn’t go back, but maybesomebody could. Though not mentioned byname, an Internet search turned up RonWyatt, who claimed to have discovered Mt.Sinai, but to have been arrested with all hisfilm confiscated because he had entered ille-gally. Though no one had really believedWyatt, Irwin felt that the story could havemerit because he believed that the Bible

clearly says that Mt.Sinai is in Arabia. It was

in the ancient land ofMidian where Moses re-

ceived the Ten Com-mandments on Mt.

Sinai. Both secular andBible maps place

Midian on the east sideof the Gulf of Aqaba in

Saudi Arabia.Cornuke says,

“Scripture was pointingthere and I was

astounded to find outmany scholars have ig-

nored what scripturehas said, and they focuson this mountain in the

Sinai Peninsula calledJabal Musa, or Mt.

Sinai, with no evidenceat all that the real Mt.

Sinai is even in theSinai Peninsula....The

sight was named Mt.Sinai by a fortune teller

in about A.D. 300 andwithout any evidencepeople just continued

to tell the story overand over again; and if

you tell a story enoughtimes people begin to

believe it’s history, butit’s not history at all....

Archaeologists havedug up that mountain

top to bottom andhaven’t found one

speck of evidence toshow that this is thereal Mt. Sinai, so we

must conclude that ei-ther the event of the

Exodus didn’t occur orthe real Mt. Sinai is lo-

cated somewhere else.”Some have observed that there isn’t

enough land in the area for a medium-sizedarmy to camp in, let alone over two millionpeople plus livestock and supplies.

Adds Williams, “The Bible states nu-merous times that when they left, they went‘out of Egypt,’ and the Sinai Peninsula at thattime was under control of the Egyptianarmy. They mined turquoise and copper andhad standing armies there. We know from ar-

Continued from Page 51chaeology that the Pharaoh had a significantmilitary presence throughout the Sinai Pe-ninsula, so it seems reasonable that the chil-dren of Israel would have been led as faraway as possible from an Egyptian militarypresence.... All the arrows pointed to Mt.Sinai being in Saudi Arabia, ancient land ofMidian, and that’s where we centered oursearch.”

Cornuke and Williams knew that theirsearch would be not be easy—that pieces ofevidence would need to fit together like acomplex puzzle. Like a crime scene investi-gation, every lead had to be looked at, a pro-cess Cornuke knew well. “The crime scenealways talks to you—there’s a story there,”he stated. “I let it tell me a story, and theBible told me a story about Mt. Sinai, and Ithink that’s why we were very successful.”

Williams says, “Whenever you do thetype of work we do, you need to do somevery simple things—take measurements andmake observations with a very clear mind—not an ‘I-want-to-prove-a-point mind’ but‘what do the facts show?’ You can’t have apremise and then look for the data to sup-port it.”

So, how did the two know what to lookfor, exactly? What should the real Mt. Sinailook like? Cornuke and Williams chose to

VIDEOS & DVDmake the Bible their guide, to search out itsspecific claims about the mountain and tofollow them, literally. They knew they hadto find the Exodus route, where the Israel-ites crossed the Red Sea, the altar for thegolden calf, the twelve pillars representingthe twelve tribes of Israel, the blackenedrock from when God came upon the moun-tain in fire, and the split rock of Horeb fromwhich water flowed.

“Examining Bible passages, old maps,and scholarly input, they plunged aheadwith their research. Clues and evidencebegan to mount. The very best evidencepointed to Arabia, and specifically a moun-tain named Jabal Al Lawz,” says the nar-rator.

Cornuke and Williams located an under-water landbridge that went from the tip ofthe Sinai Peninsula over into Arabia, calledthe Jackson Reef area. They dove below andfound a mass of land that comes out of thedepths of the ocean and creates a roadwaythrough the sea to the other side. The NIVStudy Bible references: “Red Sea: The He-brew for this term, normally read as YamSuph (sea of reeds), refers to the body ofwater through which the Israelites passed atthe time of the Exodus. It can also be read,however, as Yam Soph (sea of land’s end), amore likely reading when referring to theRed Sea, and especially...to its eastern arm,the Gulf of Aqaba.”

This “evidence” seems to confirm at

least part of the Bible as historically accu-rate. And, of course, this pleases some, butnot others. Williams said it changed his lifeforever. Some say this is the greatest archae-ological discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls.

connect in diversecombinations called

neural networks. Whenwe welcome new

thoughts and experi-ences, our neurons re-

spond by wiring to-gether a learning

process termed neuralplasticity. Through

concentration and rep-etition of thoughts,

neural circuits become“hard wired.”

Are we basing ourthoughts on what we’ve

already wired in ourmemory, restricting

the level of mind withwhich we view reality?

Is our familiar environ-ment monopolizingour thoughts, pro-

ducing only routine ex-periences? asks Dis-

penza, “Most people aredistracted by the ex-ternal world, so theydon’t use the frontallobe properly. Every-thing in our environ-

ment is constantlyfeeding the brain infor-mation. Our senses arewhat allow us to inter-pret reality. As long aswe believe the external

world is more real than the internal, we’ll al-ways be using the same circuits in our brainto process information. The moment we ac-cept that our internal world affects our ex-ternal world, then we must begin to use ourfrontal lobe.”

As observers within the quantum field ofpotentials, perhaps we are only limited byour knowledge and observation skills. If bydeveloping these abilities we can re-wire ourbrain, we should produce tangible changes inour life. He states, “The frontal lobe gives uspermission to make thought more real thananything else. It gives us permission to holdonto an idea or dream, regardless of what’sgoing on in the external reality.”

Though this DVD is mostly just a man sit-ting in a chair, giving a lecture for approxi-mately an hour, he has taken his extensiveknowledge of the brain and simply and pro-foundly illustrated how our very thoughtsand feelings create our reality, helping us tounderstand how and why the quality of ourthoughts matter so much and how they havea direct affect upon our body’s health andwell being.

No bells and whistles here, just an opendoor that puts us in the driver’s seat to takeour life in the direction of our choosing.

Hispostgraduate training and continuing educa-tion has been in neurology, neurophysiology,and brain function. He is an invited Memberof Who’s Who in America, and is an honorarymember of the National Board of Chiro-practic Examiners.

Because of his fascination with the idea ofspontaneous remissions of disease—whatsome may call miracles—Dispenza began toinvestigate what these individuals have incommon. In this lecture, he explores thefrontal lobe of the brain, the common charac-teristics of those who experience spontaneousremissions, how to re-wire the brain, and thedifference between explicit and implicitlearning. He theorizes that humans can learnthe skill of observation and harness its powerfor co-creation.

Quantum science tells us an observer di-rectly affects the nature of reality. Electronsbehave like waves of probability until an ob-server looks for their position; then, theydemonstrate characteristics of particles, i.e.,solid matter. If observation—putting con-scious attention on any one thing—can affectthe material world, then by mastering thatability, can we have greater control over ourfuture?

Featured on this DVD are over 150 im-ages from America’s founding and datingback thousands of years as well as insightinto the founding fathers’ connection to theFreemasons, Knights Templar, and the Rosi-crusians and surprising connections betweenAmerica and Atlantis.

Drawing from the traditions of all ages,including the mystical knowledge of alchemyand Kabbalah, Henry unravels vital knowl-edge lost within the icons of America to re-veal the mysterious secret treasures ofAmerica’s hidden heritage. The all-seeingeye, the eagle, the liberty bell, the goddesssymbols of Lady Freedom and the Statue ofLiberty—do these symbols and icons of his-tory contain keys to the secret mysticalteachings of ancient advanced cultures?

This is a slide-show production with fasci-nating and timely information, reminiscentof one of our culture’s best sellers, DanBrown. Incidentally, Brown has hinted thathis forthcoming book will focus on thehidden history of Washington, D.C. and Free-masonry.

NATIONAL TREASURES: Signs & Sym-bols of the U.S. Founding FathersWilliam Henry

An investigative mythologist, Henry is au-thor of ten books on ancient mythology andneo-archaeology with aStargate twist. Thosefamiliar with his workon the symbols andlore of Atlantis andEgypt will welcome hisexploration of thecoded art and mysterysymbols of thefounding fathers.

Says Henry, “Thereare mysteries con-nected with the spiri-tual and mythologicalsymbols chosen by thefounding fathers torepresent America andtheir intentions. Sym-bols played an essentialrole in the AmericanRevolution and helpeddefine America. Today,these symbols arebeing examined by awide audience. Tre-mendous interest ragesin the religious beliefsof the founding fathers.Were they Deists whobelieved in a creator,but not his son? Orwere they Christians?Or were they some-thing else? By exam-ining the symbolschosen by the foundingfathers to representthemselves and theirnation, we can bringtremendous insightinto the beliefs and in-tentions of the founding fathers. In this pres-entation, we will survey the signs and sym-bols chosen by the founding fathers torepresent their ideals and intentions.

As an investigative mythologist, Henrysays he uses the comparative method. “Sym-bols are like water, as they pour through aculture or a civilization and accumulatemeanings throughout time. Similar to a ge-ologist who digs into soil, a mythologist cantunnel through time and dig to the originalmeaning of a symbol and thereby reclaim theoriginal essence or meaning of that symbol.In fact, the ancients believed that if theycould recover the original meaning of asymbol, they could put themselves in attune-ment or resonance with that symbol and, infact, embody that energy of the symbol. Cor-porations and sports teams use this exactprocess in the selection of their logos. So,too, did the founding fathers in the selectionof the signs and symbols that they used to

It turned out that in a month of hardwork they had indeed transformed the ma-chine shop so that in appearance it is a re-spectable small-budget museum. Robey andhis hired helper had renovated walls andceiling, sealed the concrete floor and madeinexpensive but innovative displays.

Visitors pay only a few dollars, and theirfeedback says they get back far more thantheir money’s worth in education. Who hadpreviously heard of inventor Henry “Dad”Garrett, in 1920 the first to develop a carbu-retor for on-demand production of hydrogenand oxygen from water? Robey says Garrett’sinvention was patented, demonstrated inpublic, described in the local newspaper andeven shown in a newsreel. Later it was for-gotten and only recently came to the atten-tion of researchers looking for a free andnon-polluting energy source.

Text displays at the museum includenewspaper articles and U.S. patents from the1800s to today and DVDs of interviews withwater car inventors. Robey bought a 1971Ford LTD that the late Herman Anderson, aninventor from Nashville who was a consul-tant for NASA and the U.S. Air Force, reput-edly converted to burn hydrogen derivedfrom water as fuel more than 20 years ago.Robey is prepared to turf out that car if thestory can’t be proven. So don’t go pouringwater into your gas tank yet.

The museum is definitely a work-in-progress, with plans for converting one ofthe vehicles in it into a water-fueled car.

As a self-funded museum curator Robeyhas accomplished more than I would expect.He succeeded in getting his museum listedon highway signage as a tourist attraction,and is beginning to receive word-of-mouthpublicity. School children, starting withhome-schooled classes, are visiting. The“grand opening” made it into the local news-papers but only in a small way.

I’m not surprised at the lack of enthu-siasm coming from the media. A reporter oreditor would ask the nearest science expertabout this talk of water-as-fuel. The reply isalmost certain to be “You can get hydrogenfrom water, but you must put in as much, ormore energy than you get out. There is nofree lunch.”

The scientific community adamantlytakes the stand that revolutionary advancesin efficiency are impossible. Robey says they

take this stand in the face of evidence to thecontrary by the scientific community’s ownstudies.

Newspaper and TV reporters are underpressure from the newsroom culture of cyni-cism, and are also intimidated by science ex-perts, and thus don’t dig further regardingsuch a story. They don’t talk to the re-searchers who work with out-of-the-box sci-ence. For instance, the esteemed expertsdon’t do the experiments that add resonantphenomena to the standard electrolysis pro-cedures. Maybe they would find that pulsingthe electrical input at frequencies that reso-nate with the atoms in the water moleculeencourages the molecule to release its hy-

drogen and oxygen atoms more readily,therefore requiring less electricity input.

So the Robeys are coming up against aninvisible wall that baffles them. One parent ofa school child used the term “snake oil”when objecting to the child’s class visitingthe water fuel museum. The Robeys aretrying to educate people when not everyonewants to be educated. And some seem to mis-takenly think the museum is somehow ascam, which is an amusing misconception,since the only things for sale are a few tokenssuch as T-shirts and a coffee mug. When Ifirst corresponded with James Robey I askedhim about financial backing for the mu-seum—is there an affiliated organization?No, he emailed back, “I’ve embarked on thismission alone, trusting that whatever I investwill be repaid if only people learn about thisseemingly utopian option of powering ourworld.”

He’s now active with a Yahoo chat groupon water-as-fuel. Will anyone get a publiclydemonstrated water-fueled car beyond theidling stage and out on the road?

Robey’s intention to have the museumencourage local do-it-yourself energy tech-nology researchers is manifesting. At thegrand opening, Mike Klinglesmith told the

attendees how to do-it-yourself—release afuel from water the way that Professor Rug-gero Santilli discovered. The result is whatSantilli calls MagneGas. Santilli’s discoveryalone could fill a museum with worldview-changing information. I’ll be writing moreabout MagneGas in a future column.

People such as the Robeys in the grass-roots movement to push for truly clean low-cost abundant power for the people don’t pre-tend to have all the answers. But they dohave the determination to seek the truth, nomatter what the search costs them person-ally. With today’s high petroleum prices, per-haps the museum will draw enough atten-tion without the media’s help, and remainopen.

Still on the topic of coming energy devel-opments, it’s widely known that biodiesel isthe cool fuel in the thinking of the in-crowd,thanks to stars such as singer Willie Nelson.Peter LaVaute, whom I wrote about in theprevious column, says a collector’s model bi-odiesel-fueled signature pickup truck, theWillie’s Willys, will be unveiled in early Feb-ruary at the biodiesel conference in SanDiego. When all 500 pickups in the col-lector’s series are built, they’ll cost about$100,000 each, but the owner will get a life-time vehicle with rustproof stainless steelchassis and eco-friendly body. We’ll watchWillie publicize it with passion and a dash ofhumor.

We’re nearly into a new year as this iswritten. Will 2006 bring any breakthroughsin the way society relates to truly revolu-tionary energy-related science? Is theremuch hope for an emerging civilizationbased on sharing abundance instead offearing scarcity?

A pessimistic scientist answered similarquestions from me recently. He said “Fifteenyears in the field has taught me that theforces of evil, greed, and lust for power arefirmly in control of the planet. This is notlikely to change soon and, until it does, don’texpect to see any noteworthy developmentsin new sources of cheap energy. Anythingthat does show up will be quickly buriedalong with those who are its proponents.”

On the other hand, a rough consensusamong the optimists whom I recentlyquizzed is that a new-and-improved para-digm is indeed coming, but not soon. Mus-cling open the doors to it may first requirejarring changes to the world as we know it.

Along the lines of glib predictions for2006, I can tell you with certainty that theNew Energy Movement, led in North Americaby Joel Garbon and internationally by Dr.Brian O’Leary, will resurface and gatherstrength.

Changing the subject somewhat, I’m re-minded that a beneficial paradigm also healson a personal level. Examples are found in re-cent books about the emerging awareness ofwhat it means to be human. In November Isaw a pre-publication version of one unex-pected collaborative development—an in-sightful how-to-live-in-these-times book co-authored by J.J. Hurtak and Russell Targ,Ph.D.

TSUNAMI


A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY INTO THEEVIDENCE OF THE FALL OF MAN FROM AHIGHER CIVILIZATION IN ANTIQUITY

absorber.In the article and subsequent discussions

therein with a seismologist, we also learn ofcorrelations between underground nucleartests and quakes, as well as connections be-tween rainfall and quakes, thought to befrom water intrusion lubing the fault, andthe even scarier Rocky Flats (near Denver,Colorado) experience, where forced injectionof liquid radioactive waste from nuclearweapon manufacturing down a deep well in aknown fault zone caused quake after quake—until outraged citizens gathered the evidenceto force a halt.

The Tectonic Warfare ScenarioFor those who like their catastrophe

explanations colored ‘conspiracy’ thereis a much darker and scarier way to lookat the events of December 26, 2004. Onthe fevered 24/7 paranoia mills of the In-ternet, where common sense is often anuncommon commodity, there is noshortage of such material. And for thosewho believe that the United States is theGreat Satan or worse, and that GeorgeBush is Adolf Hitler come again—albeitsome of these don’t believe Hitler wassuch a bad guy—there is no plot against

the ‘people’ deemed too vile to be taken seri-ously.

As a case in point, investigative reporterJoe Vialls before his sudden death in 2005wrote two such paranoid pieces, making theargument that the Indian Ocean tsunamiwas NOT natural, but was manmade. Thewater had hardly subsided before Vialls askedthe horrifying question on January 5, 2005(updated February 4, 2005) “Did New YorkOrchestrate The Asian Tsunami?” (http://www.vialls.com/subliminalsuggestion/tsunami.html). Part 2, though, written Feb-ruary 24, 2005, stops pussyfooting around—“Asia Tsunami Proved Greatest War Crime InHistory” (http://www.vialls.com/subliminalsuggestion/tsunami2.html).

And if these weren’t enough, Viallsdredged up a declassified OSS (Office of Stra-tegic Services, CIA’s WW II predecessor) psy-chological warfare study showing that in1945 the U.S. government already knew

about and was actively considering usingconventional bombing and atomic bombs totrigger earthquakes at already stressed faultpoints and cause tsunamis during the waragainst Japan. The study, titled PSYCHO-LOGICAL WARFARE EARTHQUAKE PLANAGAINST THE JAPANESE HOMELAND andoriginally classified SECRET is posted at:http://www.vialls.com/cia/oss_earthquakes.html.

Whether believable or not, the proposedscenario is gut-wrenching to even imagine,let alone accept. What, after all, could pos-sibly be the motive for such a plot? Vialls, un-deterred, offered a somewhat tortured andpolitically charged theory to explain the mo-tivations of the plot.

According to his way of thinking, thecarefully engineered invasions of Afghanistanand Iraq, which were carried out based on a“pack of lies,” amid a propaganda barrage in-tended to steamroller opposition, and were

intended to secure not just oil, gas,and pipeline routes (plus restoreopium production in Afghanistanmuch reduced when the Talibanruled), but years of multibillion dollarreconstruction contracts there, provedto be all but complete debacles. Resis-tance, Vialls said, has been heavy, con-tinuous, ingenious, and has practicallystymied oil production and export alto-gether. As for reconstruction, thethreat level was and is so high thatwhole firms have withdrawn their

crews and even heavily armed private mili-tary contractors have taken and are takingmajor losses. With very few exceptions, re-construction’s virtually at a standstill. Con-sequently, Vialls argued, the New York-basedRockefeller money interests were hemor-rhaging billions and needed a huge cashinflux fast. Allegedly, that came fromthermonuclear triggering of a tsunamiso powerful that twelve countries wereaffected, creating such a staggering in-stant and probably multi-decade in dura-tion demand for reconstruction productsand services as to render inconsequentialthe “messes” in Iraq and Afghanistan.Anyway, that’s what Vialls believed.

Vialls also argued that, drawing on in-sights gleaned from secret weapons usedin World War II, specifically the BarnesWallis designed “dambuster” spinningbomb and the 22,000 lb. Grand Slamarmor-piercing earthquake bomb, the basicconcept was to covertly plant a thermonu-clear demolition charge, an obsolete, no-longer-in-service 9 megaton (MT) (ex-TitanII ICBM warhead) W53 H-bomb, encased in awaterproof, heavily armored housing able towithstand 10,000 atmospheres, at the bottomof the 30,000 ft. deep Sumatra Trench, withthe hope that the detonation at the highlystressed juncture of the Sumatra Trench andSumatra Plate would a) trigger an enormous

earthquake, and b) generate a massive tsu-nami. As it happens, it appears the quake wasnothing like what was hoped for, but the tsu-nami more than made up for it.

The dynamics of Vialls theory were basedon two separate phenomena: shock wavecreation/transmittal via sea and ground, andtamping. The Grand Slam worked by bur-rowing deep into the ground, then deto-nating, causing a localized, but strong,

earthquake, flattening even the sturdieststructures by shaking them to pieces. In onesuch case, it was claimed, the towering Biele-feld railroad viaduct, a huge, narrow multi-track structure used to ship weapons andwar materiel from the German industrialcenter, the Ruhr, had survived hundreds ofbomber sorties with only minor damage, butcollapsed in less than a minute after a GrandSlam dropped near it plunged deep into theground and went off. Had the bomb gone offon the surface, though, the viaduct would be

still standing. Blast effects fall off rapidly asrange increases, whereas any seismologistwill tell you earth waves can be detected glo-bally.

Tamping is something most of you know,except you don’t realize you know. If you’veever seen miners in a documentary or oldHollywood film place charges then backfillthe holes, leaving only the firing leads vis-

ible, you’ve seen tamping, ditto for crim-inals blowing a safe by placing sandbagsaround the carefully packed explosives,and any number of war movies, such asThe Return of Force 10. The wholepoint of tamping is to maximize the ex-plosive effect by not letting it be dissi-pated into the air or in undesired direc-tions. And do you know what makesabsolutely wonderful tamping material?Water! Why? It’s incompressible! Enterthe dambuster bomb.

The dambuster bomb was the inge-nious fusion of two simple concepts:skipping a rock and a depth charge. Ba-sically, in an ultra low level-attack, the

cylindrical bomb was spun up and released,skipping repeatedly across the reservoir untilit hit the dam face, rolled to the base of thedam, then detonated via a pressure fuse.With the immense pressure of the reservoirabove to contain it, the explosion coupledright into the dam base, rupturing the dam.In our case, though, why bother with messy,potentially inaccurate air delivery? Why notjust quietly lower the H-bomb into the Su-


TEMPLAR SECRETmatra Trench from any of hundreds of avail-able vessels in the area? And what a bomb!

Back in his military aerospace days, thewriter got to know a man who was once a topnuclear effects analyst at the RAND corpora-tion, a thinktank for the Pentagon and thegovernment. This gentleman had created acircular slide rule in which if you entered thenuclear yield, the CEP (Circular Error Prob-able, the radius of a circle into which 50% ofall shots fired would land), and the targethardness, you got the kill probability againstthat target. This was way before GPS guid-ance or earth-penetrating nuclear warheads,so certain targets required brute forcemethods if an ICBM had to kill them. Andthe biggest hammer for the toughest nuts(really deep underground command bun-kers) was the mighty 9 MT W53 from a TitanII! Even with only a surface burst, it was ca-pable of causing so much ground shockcoupling through the earth that it could col-lapse those bunkers. What better tool, then,for triggering a quake and unleashing a tsu-nami? After all, with 10,000 atmospheres ofpressure to contain the immense explosion,backstopped by the high and narrow trenchwalls, something ought to give. Someone,though, hedged the bet.

A most curious “9.3” quake, that. Eventhough the fault ran right through thecenter of Bandar Aceh, the street didn’t ripopen, nor did the buildings disintegrate.Widespread failures of all types of electronicdevices did occur, and that is said to be thehallmark of a nuclear or thermonuclear deto-nation—EMP, electromagnetic pulse.

Certainly, its like has never been seen be-fore in quakes studied.

India, among others, reported a muchlower magnitude and placed the event some-where else.

India, curiously, part of a recent anti U.S.alliance with Russia and China, narrowlyavoided losing both a high tech, antishipmissile armed Su-27 Flanker strike squadronand a fast breeder reactor to the tsunami.Did remote viewing (RV) save some of India’skey assets? India has, reportedly, used RV be-fore to thwart attacks.

Oscar Wilde once said, “There are twokinds of fools in the world, those who believeeverything and those who believe nothing.”While it may be tempting to some to specu-late about sinister puppetmasters pulling thestrings behind world scenes, most suchthinking seems to forget that the actions ofthe good guys have to be taken into accounttoo. If every evil plot succeeded and therewere no countering of forces from the lightside, earth would be a cinder by now. It isworth remembering that not all the bad guysshare the same agenda. For sanity’s sake it isnot always as important what you believe aswhether or not it makes you lose your bal-ance. Failure to keep one’s balance, mentallyspeaking, is, by definition, madness—certainly not an uncommon phenomenonthese days. It is worth remembering Kip-ling’s advice to keep one’s head though allabout others may be losing theirs.


merous heretical gnostic sects forming inFrance, one of which was the JohanniteChurch of Primitive Christians. This sectclaimed to be a direct descendant of the earlyKnights Templar, and the chief of the sect,Bernard Fabre-Palaprat, claimed to be aTemplar Grand Master in line from bothHughes de Payen and John the Apostle. PopePius’ subsequent denigration of the sectduring his address proved that the Churchhad ostensibly known for hundreds of yearsabout an intimateTemplar-Johannite as-sociation: “The Johan-nites ascribed to SaintJohn [the Baptist] thefoundation of theirSecret Church, andthe Grand Pontiffs ofthe Sect assumed thetitle of Christos,Anointed, or Conse-crated, and claimed tohave succeeded oneanother from SaintJohn by an uninter-rupted succession ofpontifical powers. He,who, at the period ofthe foundation of theOrder of the Temple,claimed these imagi-nary prerogatives, wasnamed Theoclet; heknew Hugues dePayens, he installedhim into the Mys-teries and hopes of hispretended church, heseduced him by thenotions of SovereignPriesthood and Supreme royalty, and finallydesignated him as his successor.”

Pope Pius’ address was soon corroboratedby some highly respected esoteric historiansof the 19th century. In Isis Unveiled MadameBlavatsky revealed: “They (the Knights Tem-plar) were at first the true Knights of Johnthe Baptist, crying in the wilderness andliving on wild honey and locusts,” while hercontemporary, the self-styled Templar de-scendant and Kabbalist, Eliphas Levi, volun-teered in The History of Magic: “The Tem-plars had two doctrines: one was concealedand reserved to the leaders, being that of Jo-hannism, the other was public, being RomanCatholic doctrine… The chiefs alone knewthe aim of the Order the Subalterns followedwithout distrust.”

Thus, Levi confirmed the Templars’ affili-ation with the gnostic Johannites but hewent one step further in pointing out that itwas principally the Grand Masters and chiefsof the Order who were aware of the Knights’heretical activities. This notion has been cor-roborated by transcripts compiled by the

Papal Council during the Templar trails thatshow that when the Knights were questionedregarding one of their most important Johan-nite rites, that of worshiping an idolic headcalled Baphomet, only the chiefs of the Orderknew anything about it. The caretaker of thehead was, at the time, Hughes de Peraud, thesecond in command under Templar GrandMaster Jacques de Molay, who secretly car-ried the head from one preceptory to the nextwhenever an initiation or ceremony called forits presence.

What was Baphomet?Who or what was Baphomet and how did

it connect the Templars to the Johannites?The contemporary Johannites, who became

separated from main-stream Templarism inthe mid 19th century,

claim to know. Sup-posedly their church,the Apostolic Johan-

nite Church, is in pos-session of secret

wisdom descended di-rectly from the chiefsof the Knights Tem-

plar.According to

James Foster, formerPrimate of the Johan-

nite Church, Ba-phomet of the Tem-

plars was thedecapitated head of

John the Baptist, the“Messiah” of the Jo-

hannite tradition.This would explain

the extreme sanctitythe Templars ascribedto the head and why itwas in the sole posses-

sion of the Order’ssecond in command.

According to the Tem-plars at their trial the head possessed specialpower and could make “trees blossom andthe land to produce.” Legend has it thatwhen John’s head was found by the Templarsin the Boukoleon Palace in Constantinopleduring the Fourth Crusade the head hadbeen used to keep an eleventh century em-peror of the Eastern Roman Empire vibrantand alive through daily passes near his body.This power, known as the Holy Spirit in theWest and Kundalini in the East, is the samepower John was saturated with during hislifetime in the Holy Land. It is this powerthat can awaken itself as a normally dormantevolutionary energy at the base of the spineand culminate in gnostic awareness.

more research and investigation isneeded before any firm conclusions canbe drawn. Certainly it can be said thatthe temple layout seems to strikinglyconform to the characteristics of an-tenna propagation patterns.

If a connection were proven to exist,what would be the implications? Itwould require a radical rethinking thelevel of technological sophisticationthat may have existed in ancient civili-zation, not to mention the question ofhow this knowledge came to thebuilders of the Maltese temples.

Let’s assume, for a moment, the an-cient builders had knowledge and un-derstanding of wave propagation. Per-haps early post-flood cultures possessedthe knowledge and understood the pur-pose of unseen forces but lacked the func-tionality. If it was known and handed downthrough generations that a force existed thatcould be controlled for the benefit of all hu-mans, would not every effort be made, nomatter how futile the attempt, to resurrectand re-create that functionality? This in it-self could account for the existence of manymegalithic structures, about which many as-pects and purpose humankind has puzzled

since their very discoveries.Another example of anomalous science,

which includes a possible EM spectrum con-nection, is the Celtic round towers of Ire-land. These fascinating structures, the tallestmeasuring 34 meters, once numbered over100 and dot the Irish landscape.

The idea that the round towers wereerected and used primarily as watchtowersand places of protection is strongly debated

by the American scientist, Philip Callahan. Inhis book, Ancient Mysteries, Modern Visions,Callahan discusses research which indicatesthat the round towers may have been de-signed, constructed and utilized as huge res-onant systems for collecting and storingmeter-long wavelengths of magnetic andelectromagnetic energy coming from theearth and skies.

pacity to resonate to micrometer-long elec-tromagnetic waves, Callahan suggests thatthe Irish round towers (and similarly shapedreligious structures throughout the ancientworld) were human-made antennae, whichcollected and transmitted subtle magneticradiation from the sun and passed it on tomonks meditating in the tower and plantsgrowing around the tower’s base. The roundtowers were able to function in this way be-cause of their form and also because of theirmaterials of construction.

Of the sixty-five towers that remain asruins, twenty-five were built of limestone,thirteen of iron-rich, red sandstone, and therest of basalt, clay slate or granite—all ofthese being minerals having para-magneticproperties and can thus act as magnetic an-tennae and energy conductors. Callahan fur-ther states that the mysterious fact of var-ious towers being filled with rubble forportions of their interiors was not randombut rather may have been a method of“tuning” the tower antenna so that it moreprecisely resonated with various specific fre-quencies.

In another article “The Mysterious RoundTowers of Ireland: Low Energy Radio in Na-ture” from The Explorer's Journal, Summer,1993, Callahan gives further details of hisdiscoveries, stating “Another strange thingabout the towers is the dirt that fills the basebelow the high doors. Each door has a dif-ferent level of dirt filling the base, as if theywere “tuned” like a pipe organ. I had longpostulated that the towers were powerfulamplifiers of radio resonance from the at-mosphere generated by lightning flashesaround the world.” Upon further investiga-tion, Callahan concluded, “The round towersproved to be powerful amplifiers in the alphabrain wave region, two to 24 Hz, in the elec-trical anesthesia region, 1000 to 3000 Hz,and the electronic induction heating region,5000 Hz to 1000 KHz.... It is fascinating thatjust above the surface of the ground to abouttwo to four feet up there is a null of atmos-pheric frequencies that get stronger andstronger until at nine to 15 feet above thesurface they are extremely strong.”

Were Irish monks aware of these proper-ties and were thus prompted to build theirhigh doors? At every tower Callahan meas-ured, there was a direct correlation betweenthe height of the tower door and thestrength of the waves. That the highly ampli-fied waves occur in the meditative and elec-trical anesthesia portion of the electromag-netic spectrum is of utmost significance. In1963, G. Walter researched brain EEG wavesfrom 0.5 to 3 Hz (Delta region) and foundanti-infectious effects.

Perhaps not unrelated to the Irish stonetowers are the many anomalous ancientstone structures, chambers and circles foundthrough the Northeast United States in NewEngland. In the book Celtic Mysteries of NewEngland, authors Phillip Imbrogno and Mar-ianne Horrigan note and measure unex-plained electromagnetic anomalies at stonechamber locations. The anomalies, de-scribed as “pulses,” seem to occur in a spe-An Irish Round Tower with conical cap

cific frequency range beginning at 16.50MHzwith peak signal strength occurring at 1675MHz. The authors claim this could be sug-gestive of a “doorway” or “portal” function ofthe chambers, with a burst of EM energy re-leased whenever the door is opened or shut.

Could it be that, as opposed to a “portal”or “doorway” opening to another dimensionof time and space, it might be more likelythat the chamber’s EM anomalies could indi-cate a communication channel opening foruse in some way?

Someone once said that science is like agame of darts. The surface of the dartboard,albeit perhaps infinite, represents all the sci-ence there is to know. Each theory con-firmed, through experiment and scientificmethod, represents a dart hitting its mark onthe dartboard of science. While the surfaceof the board may have many darts in it, mostof it, as of yet, remains untouched by a dart.And of course, sometimes one dart thrownmay knock out a previously thrown dart fromits apparently secure location. In otherwords, there is still a great deal of true sci-ence yet to be discovered and confirmed, andperhaps some ideas that may need to be un-learned. Above all, the perspective withwhich we search is perhaps the key to whatwe discover.

An important lesson may be learned from

the device known as the Antikythera Mecha-nism. The device, discovered over 100 yearsago on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea,has been found by archaeologists to be 2000years old. Because the device suggests thatthe ancient Greeks had the mechanical so-phistication of 18th century Swiss watch-makers, historians and scholars have gener-ally ignored it. Could this device be evidencethat a period of technological devolution, asa general trend, took place over many thou-sands of years in fields such as mathematics,mapmaking, mechanics and more? Can thesame claim be made for wave and particletheory? Was much more known, much ear-lier on, than what current evidence supportsand the academic world is willing to accept?

Nothing less than a major shift in the ap-proach to these mysteries needs to occur inorder for a full debate and examination ofthe facts and theories to take place withinthe established academic community. Thefact is, the Antikythera device exists, as domany other anomalies of science and history.No, they do not fit into the context of estab-lished history, but to not consider them aspart of a larger picture, that is far from com-plete, does a great disservice to the pursuit ofknowledge.

CYCLES


tempt to understandthe cause of an episodewhere 90% of life onearth was wiped out,the biggest extinctionevent in earth’s history,much larger than theone that is said to havewiped out the dino-saurs.

Based on the under-standing that our sunand its family of planets does not follow a flatelliptical path around the Milky Way, butrather an elliptical sinusoidal path, whichwould have the effect of lengthening the so-called cosmic year, it can be argued that thelength of the cosmic year should be recalcu-lated. Since we do not know the length ofthe extreme nodes of this orbital sine wave,such a calculation can only be approximate.But, according to this line of reasoning, thecosmic year could be 248 to 251 millionyears in duration, which suggests we may bereturning to the same point in our galacticorbit that we reached during a previous (ex-tinction-level) event and that we may haveentered a threat zone.

should be variations in solar output likely toresult in climate change, the rising prob-ability of encounters with comets, asteroids,and dust, and the possibility of plagues re-sulting from bacteria and viruses embeddedin dust, comets, and asteroids that couldbring us diseases from space as hypothesizedby the late Fred Hoyle in his book, withChandra Wrickramasinghe, Diseases FromSpace. Another periodic event is the reversalof polarity in the terrestrial magnetic field.There seems to be some corroboration forthis possible cosmic scenario in speculativeperiodic events such as those suggested bythe Mayan calendar-based forecasts for thewinter solstice of 2012 which has been men-tioned by several writers in Atlantis Rising.

Now a complete sinusoidal cycle wouldcross the galactic equator every 62 or 62.5million years with a half period of 31 millionyears. This is according to data obtained bythis writer from researcher Bob Alexander,who has been investigating the same hypoth-esis, but who has used slightly different fig-ures to make his calculation. Alexander con-cedes that the minor axis of the suggestedelliptical wave may be less than the 3,000light years which he initially calculated was amajor axis.

This writer used a calculator to determinethe length of the perimeter of an ellipse,which involves a close approximation, usingthe semi-major axis and semi-minor axis todetermine the actual path length of the orbitbased on Alexander’s figures and thus thetime it takes for one circuit around thegalaxy.

Within a margin of error it was deter-mined that the entire length of the sinu-soidal path would be 180,941.0769 lightyears (slightly less if the semi-minor axis isshorter). This would result in a Cosmic Yearperiod of 249,698,580 years instead of 226million years and if shortened slightly fromerrors in estimates to 248 million years wewould have the following calculation:

248MY/62MY = 4Since, according to the Berkeley research,

we have had catas-trophic events approxi-mately every 62 millionyears (sometimes more

and sometimes less),then, it follows that wemay have at least four

critical points whereour sun and planets,

components of theOrion arm of the Milky

Way, might cross a crit-ical zone that has a

higher concentration ofdust, debris, asteroids,and maybe even radia-tion that could consti-

tute a hazard on our ce-lestial journey. That is

not all, though.Since the earth has

endured cataclysmicevents on a much more

frequent basis thanevery few million years,

it may be that these horrendous eventsshould be associated with another cycle: theprecession of the equinoxes. This 25,770-year cycle, it has been argued (see “Preces-sion Paradox” in Atlantis Rising #53), couldmean that our sun has a dark star com-panion which has an orbital period of thou-sands of years which may affect our sun andfamily of planets so as to disrupt the spaceweather cycle.

We are, indeed, seeing signs of change onour sun and on earth and also on Mars—where global warming is also occurring—aswell as signs of change on some of the otherplanets. Does this presage another cata-clysmic event in our future? At this time,none of us can say for certain, but it seemspossible that the examination of these cycles,in search of a meaningful pattern, could leadto the forecasting of major changes thatmight threaten the continued existence ofcivilization as we know it.

One last note of significance which de-serves further scrutiny is whether recentchanges in the earth’s declining magneticfield and polar wandering reflects a changein the earth’s core and mantle that is pro-ducing internal rising temperatures which,in turn, are precipitating increased volcanicactivity and earthquakes.

Open University researchers have uncov-ered startling new evidence about the possi-bility for an extreme period of a sudden, fataldose of global warming some 180 millionyears ago during the time of the dinosaurs.The findings could provide vital clues to theclimate change happening today and whichmay come in the future.

For the last three to four years the Euro-pean Space Agency’s Envisat satellite hasbeen continuously monitoring the earth andgathering invaluable information for hu-manity. It is clear that we need to engagemore space surveillance of our planet andget a better estimate on threats to life andcivilization.

It’s not too late yet for a wake-up call.

GRAVITY


earth at the center of the universe, it was sta-tionary. The sun went around it, the moonwent around it, and the planets went aroundit. But no matter what motion occurredaround the earth, the earth didn’t move oneiota in any direction.

As he began his timing measurements, hewas steeped in ignorance about the real na-ture of the solar system. He had a picture ofthe solar system that was about as backwardas you can get, although our present-dayview of solar system motion adds ridiculousto backward. He was creating an explanationfor an observation out of total ignorance,and that observation has been translated intothe rote learning we teach in our most ad-vanced lecture halls today.

With earth motionless, Brahe measuredthe passage of the moon in summer andmeasured the time it takes to pass acrossthe sky. He did the same in winter and foundit was a longer period.

He then did the same thing for theknown planets and found the same thing.The planets move faster in the summer thanthey do in the winter. In technical terms,winter is the point the earth is closest to thesun, the winter wolstice, and summer is thepoint the sun is furthest from the sun, thesummer solstice. So the moon and planetswere moving faster between the winter andsummer solstices than they were moving be-tween the summer and winter solstices.

What could be the the reason for this?Brahe went back to his basic education,

time equals rate times distance. For the timeto vary, the formula required that either thedistance varied or the rate varied. Under themistaken impression that the earth was sta-tionary at the center of the universe, Braheconcluded that it couldn’t possibly be dis-tance that was causing the change. That leftrate. The rate was changing, causing thechange in time. The moon and the planetswere speeding up in the summer andslowing down in the winter.

When Kepler “inherited” Brahe’s figures,putting the sun stationary in the center ofthe solar system with the Earth movingaround it didn’t lead him to question Brahe’sthrowing out of distance as a possible reasonfor the change in time. He was capable of or-dering the chaos of Brahe’s figures, but hewasn’t about to question Brahe’s unfoundedand ignorant conclusion made on the basisof his earth-centered beliefs.

Let’s pretend we are Brahe, and instead ofbeing ignorant of the movement of theearth, or even today, ignorant of the move-ment of the sun, we go to our time-equals-rate-times-distance formula and say, well,it’s pretty far-fetched to believe that some-thing as big as the moon is slowing downand speeding up, so how could it be distancethat is affecting the change in time?

Well, we would answer, if the earth is

PYRAMID WATERS

Continued from Page 39the smallest and lightest used inthe building. As de Camp pointedout, no evidence exists to showthat the pyramid builders hadsuch a crane. One was employedin Egypt, however, at the harbor-city of Alexandria. The largestknown crane in the ancient worldserviced freighters from all overthe Mediterranean Sea. Erectedfor the Greek Ptolemies, whoruled Egypt after the death of Alexander theGreat in the 4th century B.C., it was so pow-erful it could lift the largest ship loaded withits cargo from the water and place it gentlyin dry-dock. It did not however, survive thefall of the Roman world, save in the record ofrare coins. One was especially minted for theAlexandrian crane operator, the highest paidmanual laborer in classical times.

We do not know if such a machine wasactually employed to complete the Great Pyr-amid, millennia earlier. The Ptolemies’ cranemay have been a descendant of similar “ma-chines” developed thousands of years beforeto assist in the construction of Egypt’s stu-pendous monuments. No remains of such amonstrous crane have so far been found, norare likely to be, because it was never in-tended for permanence. Conventional Egyp-tologists have no trouble believing thatsuper-barges were used to float many tons ofstone blocks down the Nile, yet not a trace ofeven a single barge survived into moderntimes. In any case, the invention and use ofsuch a crane, however splendid, pales incomparison with the monument itself. As amodern construction engineer once re-marked, “whoever built the Great Pyramidcould build anything!”

These mysterious construction engineersoriginally positioned the Pyramid as closelyas possible to the absolute center of theworld’s land-mass. This means that it sits ata unique location where the lines of latitudeand longitude pass over more of the earth’ssurface than at any other place. Locationand very form epitomize its identity as a geo-detic symbol. As Alexander Braghine ex-plained, “The summit of the pyramid is situ-ated in 290 58’ 51.22” of north latitude. Thiscircumstance at first sight does not seem sig-nificant. The moment, however, we re-member that the apparent position of thePolar Star is invariably 1’ 8.78” out, owing tothe phenomenon of atmospheric refraction,we see what was in the mind of the builder.If we add the value of the refraction, i.e. 1’8.78” to 290 58’ 51.22”, we get exactly 300,and we realize that the mysterious builder ofthe pyramid, guiding himself by the PolarStar (or by a corresponding point in the con-stellation of Draconis), wished to center thepyramid upon the 13th parallel.

This parallel is remarkable for the factthat it separates a maximum of the land of

moving, then when it is moving forward inits orbit, and the moon is moving in the di-rection opposite that movement, the moonwould travel a shorter distance than it wouldwhen the moon was moving in the same di-rection as the earth. Then, the moon wouldhave to travel not only the half the distanceof its orbit, it would have to travel the dis-tance the earth had traveled to make up thatdistance too, so the distance the moontravels away from the direction of the earth’smotion is shorter than when it traveled inthe direction of the earth’s motion.

But this is not the motion that Brahemeasured. His measurements were madeover successive months in both the winterand the summer and the measurements ap-plied to the planets as well. The change inthe moon’s distance, which occurs eachmonth, is too short to measure unless youare looking for it. But successive monthlymeasurements and planetary measurementsthat produce the same result suggest that thesun is the culprit, that it is moving forwardin its orbit; and thus, when its componentsare moving from the winter to the summersolstice, they have a shorter distance to gothan when they move between the Summerand winter solstice because those solsticesare moving as the sun moves.

As enlightened observers rather than ig-norant concluders, we could then say, so thesun is moving and in doing so it’s draggingthe planets along with it. Its direction ofmovement is toward the winter solstice sothat’s why the planets pass closest to the sunin the winter and reach their furthest pointfrom the sun in the summer. The time vari-ance is the result of components traveling ashorter distance in the summer than they dowhen they are playing catch-up in winter.

Unfortunately, rote learning today doesnot even consider this a possibility because,with Celestial Mechanics resting on Kepler’sLaws, if the sun is moving, then Newton’smass gravity is what it really is, a fantasy.

Empirical Science has no way to controlthe concepts it attaches to the terms of itsmathematical equations. It uses those equa-tions to predict possible facts, which are, ofcourse, always found, and then says the factsturn its concepts into facts. Facts that disa-gree with the concepts, which are now facts,are ignored.

No wonder we live in ignorance about theforces that move the objects around us, as-signing the motion of the galaxies to a his-torical big bang, the motion of the planets toa swirling mass of gas, and the most dynamicforce in our existence, gravity, as a property,which in the words of Dotson’s professor,“Inherent property means we don’t talkabout it and you won’t either if you want topass this course.”

our planet from the maximum of the oceansurfaces. Apparently, the builder wished torecord permanently the distribution of thecontinents and oceans of those days, and wecan see that this distribution has remainedalmost the same until our own times” (237,238). Physicist Michael Csuzdi seconded Bra-ghine’s explanation: “The six continents ofthe earth markedly form a pentagonal pyr-amid. Africa is at the apex lines drawn fromits center to the centers of the other conti-nents are evenly spaced at 72 degrees. Theother five centers are nearly on a commonplane to form the pyramid’s base line.”

Incorporated in the very dimensions ofthe Pyramid itself is a trio of key measure-ments with which we can calculate the sizeand shape of the earth with accuracy. Theycorrespond to the three most importantplanetary measurements defining earth’s cir-cumference, polar radius and equatorialbulge. From them may be precisely deducedthe flattening at the poles and the irregu-larity of the equator, neither of which wererediscovered until the 18th century. The pe-rimeter of the Great Pyramid’s socketsequals a half-minute of equatorial longitude,or 1/43,200 of the earth’s circumference. Itstotal original height equaled 1/43,200th ofthe polar radius. Its original perimeter ex-actly equaled one half-minute of latitude atthe equator, which means that its base-length represented the distance the earth ro-tates in half-a-second.

If the perimeter of the Great Pyramid wasreduced to inches, it would express 36,524.2.This figure equals exactly one hundred timesthe number of days in a year, or the numberof days in a century. The baseline of theGreat Pyramid is 500 cubits, or 750 Egyptianfeet. This number corresponds precisely tothe distance our planet travels in half-a-second of time at the equator, because theearth’s circumference is 86,400 cubits, justas one 24-hour day is made up of 86,400 sec-onds. The ancient building’s architecturalaccuracy in measuring our planet was notachieved again until satellite surveys fromouter space, only twenty-five years ago.

Even the weight of the Great Pyramid in-corporates profound knowledge of the earth.Its six million tons equals one-quintillionthof the weight of our planet. If the pyramid’svolume of 88 million cubic feet is multipliedby the average density of its stone, the result,

expressed in ancient Egyptian units of meas-urement (known as “elbows”), will be 552.55.2 is the density of the earth in its relationto water. Perhaps most incredible of all, mul-tiplying the original height of the Great Pyr-amid by one billion produces 93,000,000—the average distance of our planet from thesun, something only rediscovered in the 19thcentury.

Giza Death Star author, Joseph Farrell,observed how “the mean density of the earthis approximately 5.7 times that of water at 68degrees Fahrenheit at a barometric pressureof 30 pounds per inch. In the King’sChamber, all the stone courses have 23 ormore stones, except the fifth course, whichcontains only seven. Thus, encoded in thefifth course of the King’s Chamber is themean density of the earth.” Moreover, theGreat Pyramid’s interior is a constant 68 de-grees Fahrenheit, the average temperature ofour planet. Farrell goes on to point out thatthe pyramid’s original height of 5,449 inchesequals the average height of land on theearth above sea-level.

The Great Pyramid’s four sides face thecardinal points of the compass, less than 1/10th of a degree from true north and south,and within 2/60th of a degree from true eastand west, a precision modern constructionengineers were incapable of laying out untillittle more than 100 years ago. Each of thefour faces of the Great Pyramid, with their al-most imperceptible indentations, representsa curved quarter of the northern hemisphere,a perfect spherical quadrant of ninety de-grees. A structural engineer from Leeds,Yorkshire, David Davidson, proved that slightindentations on each of the pyramid’s foursides calculated the solar year (the exact timebetween equinoxes), the anomalistic year(the time needed for the earth to return tothe point nearest the sun, the perihelion),and the sidereal year (the time it takes for astar to reappear at the same spot in the sky).

The side of the base of the Great Pyramidmeasures 9,131.416 inches, a figure corre-sponding to the number of days contained in25 years. This allots to each sidereal year of365.25664 days, just a 30-second differencefrom the sidereal year ascertained by 20thcentury astronomers. Moreover, this samemeasurement virtually equals 1/480th of oneequatorial degree. Braghine remarks (240),“At this rate, the total length of the equatorline would come to 24903.86181 miles,which quantity is only 1.5 miles more thanthe measurement adopted by modern sci-ence. If we divide the length of the equator asgiven by the pyramid, by pi, we will get thediameter of our planet equal to 7,927.1miles, which quantity is only 0.5 mileslonger than the measurement calculated bythe modern astronomer, Sir James Jeans.”

Theorists, armchair or otherwise, are freeto imagine any number of propositions to ex-plain the Great Pyramid’s method of con-struction. It was nonetheless indisputably de-signed as a geodetic structure. In otherwords, its interior and exterior dimensionsare measurements of our planet.

not in motion. As the water exits the ram,the water inside flows faster and faster.

A vacuum pump is much like a forcepump. Its valves are strong and gas-tightwhen shut. A mercury vacuum pump acts alittle like a hydraulic ram because a columnof fluid, mercury, is the piston. The pressureof the atmosphere can only balance acolumn of mercury about 29-1/2 incheshigh. If a tube longer than this is filled withmercury, and then the mercury reservoir islowered, the column of mercury in the tubewill follow it, leaving a vacuum at the top.The tube at the top can then be meltedthrough, cutting off a glass bulb in whichthere is almost no air. The vacuum of theoriginal electric light made by Thomas A.Edison was produced with a mercury pumplike this.

There are also air, centrifugal, and tur-bine pumps. When you put air in your tiresthink of an air pump. The next time you rap-idly spin a bucket of water over your headand the water does not spill out, think cen-trifugal pump. When you turn on a fan ima-gine a fan inside a water pump and you’rethinking turbine pump. Most of the pumpsin New Orleans were of the turbine type.

Having completed his second analysis ofthe valves and action of the above pumps,Cadman started his pump #3 construction.When a skeptic offered the advice, “It willnever work,” he ignored the negative

thinking. Cadman knew a mathematicianhad once proved that a bumblebee can’t fly.He now had the right configuration in hismind and a solution to prevent pump #3from exploding.

After three more months of intense labor,his determination paid off. In April, 2000 heopened a valve on pump #3. With the newconfiguration and the compression chamberenclosed in a 500-pound block of steel-reinforced cement, it worked perfectly. Forhours he continued monitoring it. Cadmanhad invented something new in hydraulics: apowerful, energy-efficient force pump andpulse generator. Its many potential beneficialapplications include solutions to water man-agement and the oil drilling our governmentcurrently needs. Had he realized then thathis pump was theoretically capable of savinga large city without electricity, like New Or-leans, from flooding his heart might havebeaten even faster.

This author spoke to Cadman recentlyabout his pump. We wanted to know how hefirst became interested in ancient pumptechnology.

“In 1999, I read your book 5/5/2000,” hetold us. “You had presented informationfrom the late Edward Kunkel that showedhow the pyramid could have been used as awater pump... Kunkel described two differentpumps, one that may have been used in con-struction and only incorporated the subterra-nean section of the pyramid. The other pumpwould have been a vacuum assist pump builtinto the masonry of the pyramid and incor-porating the rooms. I thought Kunkel’s ideafor the first pump was plausible and it filled aneed in my surrounding environment.”

Edward Kunkel’s 1959 patent based on his theory that the Great Pyramid was a pump.



OLD PUMPS NABTA PLAYA

Continued from Page 43Cadman went on to explain, “I am situ-

ated on some land that has a creek in a re-mote location. I needed to transfer waterfrom it to a garden area about 300 feet away.There isn’t electricity available at the pumpsite so I needed a water pump that was fullyautomatic and didn’t utilize electricity. Thatis precisely what Kunkel had suggested forthe subterranean pump.”

Cadman’s pump, once started, requiresonly one valve at a time and can run indefi-nitely. He describes it as a “pump and hy-draulic pulse generator.” By the latter termhe means that it is capable of generatingseismic shock waves. “When I first started, Ithought it was merely a pump,” he explained,“After extensive study of the overall layout, itbecame evident thatthe water pump as-pect was a by-product.The primary functionis to send seismicshock waves up to-wards the King’s andQueen’s chambers. Al-though I say that’sthe primary function,it also pumps watervery well.”

To make his point,Cadman offered ananalogy, “If someonehad never been ex-posed to an automo-bile engine, an initialobservation might bethat it was a gas-firedheater. After all, en-gines put out lots ofheat. But the heat isthe by-product. Theprimary function isthe creation of di-rected force. That’salso the function ofThe Great Pyramid’ssubterranean section.It causes the King’schamber to resonate.”

Such a theory, of course, suggests thework of engineer Chris Dunn, who hasargued in his book, The Giza Power Plant,that the Great Pyramid is a machine createdby ancient engineers to produce power.Cadman agrees and adds that “Basically, thesubterranean chamber assembly was themotor for the power plant.”

Cadman also believes “There’s the possi-bility that the resonance of the pyramid ener-gized the pyramid shape. According to JoeParr’s research, the resonating of the shapecauses a ‘mass particle’ to form where theQueen’s chamber is located. Joe Parr has ex-tensive research in this area. His work is sim-ilar to Dr. William A. Tiller’s work.

We wanted to know, how does the pumpoperate if it doesn’t use an external powersource?

“The pump,” he offered, “requires a differ-

ence in heights of the water source and thepump assembly. For my pump model, thereis a 3-1/2 foot drop from the water supply tothe pump assembly. Water is fed from thesource down through a pipe into the pump.The basic design utilizes the force of fallingwater to elevate part of the water. Waterflows down the drive pipe into the compres-sion chamber. Water escapes from the wastevalve until the water’s velocity forces thevalve shut. When the valve shuts, the waterstops flowing instantaneously and causes thewater to compress, resulting in a compres-sion wave, or shock wave, which emanatesfrom the valve area. In the driveline, thewater reverses direction until the shock wavereaches air and returns down the pipe. In theoutput line, a high-pressure surge passesthrough the check valve. This surge is atleast fifty times (3,360 psi at Giza) the staticwater pressure of the compression chamber.

When the compression wave leaves the com-pression chamber, a low-pressure situationexists. The low pressure is equal and oppo-site to the compression wave. This immedi-ately re-opens the waste valve, and the cyclebegins again.”

If a larger pump were built, would it becapable of lifting the heaviest stones used inthe construction of the Great Pyramid?

“Yes,” said Cadman.

Richard Noone is author of the 1980sbest seller 5/5/2000, in which he argued insupport of Edward Kunkel’s theories re-garding the Great Pyramid as a pump.

Sphinx indicating that the most enigmaticsculpture on the planet dates to this samewetter epoch, or before. Schoch’s analysisflew squarely in the face of mainstream Egyp-tology, which continues to insist on a muchlater date. A confirmed link between Giza andNabta Playa would lay to rest any doubtsabout the relevance of Nabta Playa because ofits remoteness. Far from being disconnectedfrom the mainstream of the emerging Egyp-tian cultural tradition, at one time NabtaPlaya may even have been the center of it all.

While all of this is extraordinary, Brophy’sconclusions about the other nearby mega-lithic formation are mind-numbing. Brophythinks this other construction may be a starmap, the creation of which required a knowl-edge of astronomy that rivaled and may evenhave surpassed our own. Brophy’s conclu-sions are highly controversial, but his workdeserves close attention, because if he is cor-rect we have barely begun to understandwhere we came from.

So, what do the Nabta megaliths tell usafter thousands of years of silence? Their de-signers placed them in straight lines that ra-diate out from a central point. The arrange-ment employed a simple star-coordinatesystem that assigned two stones per star. Onealigned with the star itself and marked itsvernal equinox heliacal (i.e., rising togetherwith the sun on the first day of spring) posi-tion on the horizon. The other aligned with areference star, in this case Vega, thus fixingthe first star’s rising at a specific date in his-tory. In archaeoastronomy single megalithicalignments with stars are considered dubiousbecause at any given time several stars willrise at or within a few degrees of the point onthe horizon denoted by a lone marker. Overlong periods of time many different stars willrise over this position. The creators of NabtaPlaya eliminated uncertainty with the Vegaalignment and the specificity of vernalequinox heliacal rising, which occurs onlyonce every 26,000 years for a given star. Thisfixed the star’s rising date. Vega was a logicalchoice because it is the fifth brightest star inthe heavens and dominated the northern skyin this early period. Brophy found that six ofthe megaliths corresponded with the six im-portant stars in Orion (Alnitak, Alnilam, Min-taka, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, and Meissa), alsoconfirming his analysis of the nearby circle.Their placement marked the vernal heliacalrising of these stars, which occurred around6,300 B.C., within about twenty years. Thesecond set of reference stones were keyed tothe heliacal rising of Vega, which occurred atthe autumnal equinox. In the seventh millen-nium B.C. the Nabta plain was a busy place.

The heliacal rising of a star occurs when itrises above the horizon with the morningsun. A vernal heliacal rising describes thesame event on the day of the spring equinox,which is much rarer. Using a conservative

So, what did the variabledistances of the megaliths from the centralpoint represent? After considering a numberof alternatives, just for fun Brophy theorized:What if the distances on the ground wereproportional to the actual distances of thestars from earth? When he looked up the cur-rent best measurements as determined bythe Hipparcos Space Astronomy Satellite,Brophy was blown away. They matched ineach case to within about a standard devia-tion. The proportional scale turned out to beone meter on the ground at Nabta = .799light years. The match is “more than aston-ishing,” as Brophy writes, because even withmodern technology the science of measuringthe distances to stars is a tricky and imper-

Gigantic Megalith X-1 is the largest at Nabta Playa. When whole, its longest dimension was over 12 feet. Like many megaliths at Nabta, itwas broken or cut apart, possibly intentionally, in ancient times. Directly behind X-1 is a partner megalith more than 7 feet long. Thesemegaliths set atop a knoll which appears to be shaped as a mound inside a spiral pattern. (Thomas Brophy)

statistical protocol, Brophy calculated theprobability that the megalithic alignments atNabta were random at less than two chancesin a million, which, as he writes “is morethan a thousand times as certain as the usualthree standard deviations requirement for ac-cepting a scientific hypothesis as valid.” Theonly reasonable conclusion is that the staralignments at Nabta Playa were carefullyplanned–––no accident.

But hold on, because from here Brophyventures into wild territory. He was puzzledby the fact that the Nabta megaliths were notplaced at uniform distances from the centralpoint. Brophy writes: “If the varied distancesdidn’t have a purpose, one would expect theskilled Nabta Playa designers to have used amore pleasing arrangement...[therefore] thedistance placements are suggestive of ameaningful pattern.” Students of the Gizaplateau have often remarked that no detail of

fect business. Current best measures of dis-tance must be regarded as approximations.Brophy’s conclusion bears repeating: “Ifthese star distances are the intendedmeaning of the Nabta Playa map, and are notcoincidence, then much of what we think weknow about prehistoric human civilizationsmust be revisited.”

Brophy believes information about therelative velocities of stars, and their masses,may also be encoded in the placements. Andhe thinks that smaller companion stoneslying near the base of some of the large meg-aliths probably represent companion stars, oreven planetary systems. Unfortunately, thiscannot be tested at present because as-tronomy is not yet able to observe earth-sizedplanets across the reaches of space. Rapidstrides are being made, however. A number

A Galaxy Map?

Nabta Playa held othersurprises. The location of thestar map’s central point ini-tially drew the attention ofWendorf’s team because acomplex structure of mega-liths had been placed there.One large stone stoodsquarely at the central point,surrounded by others. Nu-merous other stone com-plexes had also been placedin the vicinity. These ap-peared to be burial moundsand when the archaeologistsexcavated two of them theteam expected to uncover mortuary remains.Instead, they dug through 12 feet of Holo-cene sediments to bedrock and found bizarrecarved sculptures, which they never did ex-plain. Later, Brophy examined these in lightof the deciphered star map and was blownaway again. He realized that whoever createdNabta Playa might have been in possession ofadvanced knowledge about our Milky Waygalaxy. The bedrock sculpture appears to be amade-to-scale map of the Milky Way asviewed from the outside, i.e., from the per-spective of the north galactic pole. The mapcorrectly indicates the position, scale, and or-ientation of our sun, and the placements ofthe spiral arms, the galactic center, even theassociated Sagittarius dwarf galaxy that wasonly discovered in 1994. Although Wendorf’sexcavation had dismantled the stone complexon the surface in the process of exhumingthe underlying sculpture, Brophy was able todetermine from Wendorf’s accurate dia-grams/maps that the central point was di-rectly above–––and surely represented–––thecorrect position of our sun on the galaxymap. Brophy then made another key dis-covery: One of the megalithic sight linesstood in relation to the galactic center. Itsalignment marked the galactic center’svernal heliacal rising circa 17,700 B.C..Amazingly, the orientation of the galacticplane in the sculpture also jibed with thisdate. Brophy concluded that the stone sculp-ture was a map of the Milky Way as seenfrom the standpoint of the northern galacticpole. Next, he turned his attention to thesecond stone complex excavated by Wen-dorf’s team which, likewise, had produced nomortuary remains. Its size and placementsuggested that it was a map of Andromeda,our sister galaxy. Calculations showed thatits size–––about double the Milky Way–––and its placement may be consistent with An-dromeda’s known size/location.

As for Nabta Playa’s other stone com-plexes, they have not yet been investigated...

Giza: A Precessional Calendar?Brophy also conducted his own indepen-

dent investigation of Giza, and there toofound evidence the designers knew about thegalactic center. Brophy’s powerful softwareenabled him to refine Robert Bauval’s esti-mate of the great pyramid’s correlation date.

Brophy agrees that the fa-mous star shafts serve as

markers that fix the date ofcorrelation to within anarrow window. When

Brophy precessed the skyabove Giza he found that the

best shaft alignment oc-curred around 2,360 B.C.–––

about a half-century laterthan Bauval’s date. Bauvalargued that the southern

shaft of the King’s Chamberaligned with Orion at thetime of construction. But

Brophy found that the last ofthe three stars of Orion’s

belt, Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis)aligned with the southern

shaft more than a century before. Thesouthern star shaft’s alignment with the ga-lactic center at the time of pyramid construc-tion also corroborated his findings at NabtaPlaya.

Assuming that the layout at Giza is amirror of Orion’s belt, when exactly did thisoccur? Bauval’s preferred date is 10,500 BC,long before the pyramids were actually built,when the three stars of Orion’s belt reachedtheir southern culmination of the 26,000year precessional cycle. When Brophy testedthis idea, however, he discovered anotherlayer of complexity. He found that theground mirrored heaven on two dates: in11,772 B.C. and again in 9,420 B.C. Brophyconcluded that the construction was neverintended to designate Orion’s southern cul-mination, as Bauval argued, but rather tobracket the epoch in which this occurred.The two dates also bracket another impor-tant event, the northern culmination of thegalactic center at around 11,000 B.C. In otherwords, Giza was constructed as a zodiacalclock, set in stone to the grand precessionalcycle. This supports the view that the site’sastronomy long predated the actual pyramidconstruction.

Fully cognizant of the revolutionary na-ture of his analysis, Brophy wisely makes nofinal pronouncements in his book. He merelypresents his findings as a working hypothesisand invites others to investigate further. For-tunately, many of his ideas are testable. Sofar, only 25 Nabta stones have been plottedwith GPS, and only two of at least thirtystone complexes have been excavated. Timewill surely tell...

a particular integration with earth and plantand water.” Buhner noticed that his great-grandfather’s feet seemed to interact withthe tension of the soil; the soles of his feetseemed to speak to it as they walked in si-lence to a favorite pond. “Sometimes wewould drop a word into the silence like astone into the water and the word’s meaningwould send ripples through us until theyebbed, slowed, and stopped,” he recalls.“Still, even then I knew those words were un-necessary. For in our time together we weredoing something without words that humanshave done for millennia. As we lay with thesmells, the sounds and the feeling of thatplace, deep inside something would leave hisbody and enter mine. I would breathe it intome as slowly as I breathed in his smell; some-thing in my soul found purchase in it. It wasa food without which I could not becomehuman.” Buhner says this mysterioustransfer is always passed in silence betweenthe man and the boy, between the womanand the girl. “It is handed down from one in-terior world to the next. Its essence pene-trates the muscles of the body, the oxygen ofthe blood, the substance of the spirit. Andthis was the time in which I first tasted wildwater.”

It is this experience, the transfer of soulessence, that Buhner feels is the crux of trueknowingness. It’s something he says can’t becaptured with words, nor even in the systemsof mathematics. While many people seemathematics as a universal, unbiased lan-guage that can explain everything around us,Buhner finds it limiting. “Its just a language,another interpretation of experience,” he ex-plains. The real deal is that inexplicabletransfer of energy/emotion that occurs whenwe connect with someone we know in acrowd, or encounter a puppy, or a plant. “TheGreeks had a word for this aisthesis: It meansto breathe in, and comes closest to ex-pressing soul essence. It is the heart’s abilityto perceive meaning from the world.”Buhner further explains the phenomenon aseliciting a gasp and a touch, as when wereact in awe to a sight like the GrandCanyon, when we recognize our friend andmove to greet or embrace them, or when thepuppy runs toward us for that rollicking, un-bounded frolic. “Aisthesis denotes the mo-ment in which a flow of life force, imbuedwith communications, moves from oneliving organism to another,” he states. “It is ataking in of the world, a taking in of soulfulcommunications. When we experience thissharing of soul essence, we have a direct ex-perience that we are not alone in the world.”It’s a matter, he says, of using the heart as anorgan of perception, a skill we’ve ceded to thehead for far too long.

Throughout the world there is a traditionof direct perception of nature through the in-telligence of the heart. Buhner also mentions

that “plant teachings” are the foundation ofmodern discoveries in both medicine andplant foods. This capacity to learn directlyfrom the world and from plants was demon-strated by the German poet Goethe when hediscovered the metamorphosis of plants. Itwas also employed by Luther Burbank,George Washington Carver, the Japanesefarmer Masanobu Fukuoka (whose methodsconsistently exceed yields of farmers usingmore scientific approaches). And it was usedby Nobel prize-winner Barbara McClintockand by Henry David Thoreau (who, saysBuhner, was “a great deal more than a natu-ralist”). This gathering of knowledge directlyfrom the wildness of the world is known asbiognosis—meaning “knowledge from life.”Buhner asserts that this is an aspect of ourhumanness inherent in our physical bodiesand is therefore something that each of ushas the capacity to develop.

The Secret Teachingsof Plants is arranged intwo parts: Systole andDiastole, after the func-tional phases of theheart. Buhner likens thesystolic contraction to“analytical explanationsof why and how,” the dia-stolic relaxation to“poetry and doing”(learning to communi-cate with and harvestplants, for example). Ashe notes, all indigenouspeople insist theirknowledge of plant medi-cines comes from theplants themselves andnot through trial-and-error experimentation.“The first step inlearning to talk to plantsis cultivating politeness,realizing that the pine trees that have beenhere for 700 million years must have beendoing something before we came on thescene a mere million years ago—the firststep is to respect our elders.” In his prologueto “Diastole, Gathering Knowledge from theHeart of the World,” Buhner describes dig-ging for skunk cabbage. “Were going to getdirty on this one....as you look at the rootsyou feel something odd happen to yourbrain. Some older part, some ancient, rep-tilian part, is being stirred into life.” ...“Youtake the powdered root and put it in some al-cohol and water, making a tincture. You visitit each day, talking to it, sending your caringinto it, shaking the bottle to mix it well.When the process is complete, you label thebottle, writing skunk cabbage. You know thiscaptures none of the living reality of theplant. But, inside you, the name of the plantresides, and you can call it up in memory, sayit anytime...though not in words.”

Buhner’s first experience with plant med-icine came when a friend directed him to anherb to relieve bouts of acute stomach pain(“pain so intense I would pray to die,” he re-members). He took the herb, and the next

time he had an attack, it was about half asbad; the next time half yet again, and so on,until he was free of the pain. “I felt the es-sence of the substance very clearly,” relatesBuhner. “It was as if what I ingested hadcompanioned me.” That plants may possesssuch a healing presence was perceived by thegreat Indian botanist and researcher J.C.Bose, who stated that “the characteristics ofconduction in the plant nerve are in everyway similar to those in animal nerve.”

Now in his fifties, the once politicallynervy Buhner says he’ll leave lobbying toothers. Nevertheless, his voice is still heardthrough books, articles and workshops.Though he feels strongly that words don’t dojustice to the concepts he describes, he iscareful in using them, and is quite perturbedabout errata in his writings. His website ex-plains a number of errors, expresses his apol-ogies and contains detailed corrections. His

concerns for planetaryand environmental

health are eloquently re-corded in an elegy to

what he calls “the greennations.” He cites theGeneva 1997 Interna-

tional Union for theConservation of Nature

(IUCN) Species SurvivalCommission’s “Red Listof Threatened Plants” (a

six-pound, 862-pagebook three inches thick)as the inspiration for thepoem Herbelegy. “Once

we found them whereverwe walked. Their songs,

heard by deeper earsthan the physical, filledthe forests. Their smelluplifted us, their medi-

cine healed us, theircolors shaped our

senses. Where do they go once they aregone? What holes within us will remain un-filled once they are no more?” he asks. Inter-spersed between stanzas are the names andcountries of origin of once plentiful herbsnow disappearing. “Two-thirds of the evolu-tionary ancestors of our food crops are en-dangered,” Buhner warns. “Viruses andtransposons intermixed the wild and domes-ticated genes throughout the past ten thou-sand years so that our food plants remainedstrong. But the genes are going now, theyare going now.” As he continues the elegy,the lines become more personal. “There isonly emptiness in the forest where I used tofind you. I used to come to you when I wasill in prayer. I would dig you and make youinto medicine. On a long couch at home Ilie, my coughing worse. ...In long cabinetsyour remains lie, pressed, flattened a map ac-companying them shows where you used togrow. A scientist says he can make you liveagain when “we” learn more. What aboutyour only pollinator—the tiny bee with thelong antennae that I used to see? Will wemake him again as well? Who are “we,”anyway?”

GOETHE


wealthy, and possessed of the highest occultgifts of a Mason, was then touring the courtsof Europe conducting seances, makingprophecies, bilking noblemen, and in generalcutting a high-visibility swathe as genius/con-man/benefactor of mankind. In Palermoin 1787, Goethe visited the household of Cag-liostro’s mother and discovered that the‘Count’ was the ne’er-do-well son of a pov-erty-stricken family and that he had bor-rowed money from his mother and then dis-appeared. Returned to Weimar, Goetherepaid the debt anonymously (the familythought the money was from Cagliostro).The experience deepened his disgust for allpretenders to any secret knowledge of an oc-cult world.

At that time Goethe was well into his sci-entific studies, which included mineralogy,botany, anatomy and optics, and it’s likelythat the strangeness of the alternative linesof scientific speculation that he developed inthese areas contributed greatly to the notionthat he was deeply into the occult. Goethe inhis researches was astonishingly original.Seeking to discover a primal pattern in rockwhich in its manifest development accountedfor all the shapes of rock, the poet ended upbelieving that crystallization was the orga-nizing principle behind the entire mineralworld. Goethe was sure he discerned inhuman beings an “intermaxillary bone” inthe upper jaw that established an organic re-lationship between man and animal andwould enable him to find the underlyingunity, visible to the informed eye, behind themultiplicity of animal forms in the naturalworld. The poet/scientist scoured vegetationfor the “primal plant” (“Urpflanze”), hopingto find in nature the basic pattern—one inwhich plant form was probably reduced to arepeated sequence of elements such assprout, leaf and growth point—which lay be-hind the complex variety of the vegetableworld.

In all of this (none of which stood up torigorous scientific examination despiteGoethe’s lifelong persistence in advancing

his views) the poet-scientist was not seekingsome archetypal plant or mineral or animalwhich, in accordance with the beliefs ofPlato, dwelt in a world of ideal forms whichwere more real than the world of things.Goethe thought there was no such world ofideal forms and that only the here-and-nowon earth existed in all his endeavors, thepoet/scientist sought first the ideal “Ur”—shapes that might actually exist on earth,then the ideas of the primal patterns hethought would encompass every variety ofform in the plant, the animal and the min-eral world.

Goethe was thus very far from being ahermeticist or cabbalist, someone who be-lieves that the entire physical universe is in-fused in every atom and in equal portionwith living mind or soul. The poet believedthat nature was dumb, and would have saidwith William Blake that “where man is not,Nature is barren.” Increasingly, Goethe sus-pected that when we see soul in nature or in“the beyond,” we are merely projecting ourown hopes and fears onto zones that arelikely empty of God and soul.

Goethe vigorously rejected the notionthat nature has an essence, a soul, somethingindependent of what we grasp with our fivesenses. Man is a part of nature, and he alsorejected the notion that man himself has anessence, believing, in the words of WalterKaufmann, that “man is his deeds.” Goethewrote in the Doctrine of Colors: “We reallytry in vain to express the essence of a thing.We become aware of effects, and a completehistory of these effects would seem to com-prehend the essence of the thing. We exertourselves in vain to describe the character ofa human being but assemble his actions, hisdeeds, and a picture of his character will con-front us.”

This was at the heart of Goethe’s pro-found disagreement with Newton; light itself,declared the poet, has no essence. There wasnothing behind or beyond white light as weperceive it which could contain the being-ness of colors. “Colors,” decreed the poet,“are the deeds of light.” Goethe was deeply af-fronted by the implication of Newton’stheory of light that we cannot accept the re-ality of what is presented to us through our

senses even if our vision is a purified one.Writes Kaufman: “Goethe’s immense lu-cidity [in expressing his ideas] is inseparablefrom his habit of seeing things instead ofrelying on pure concepts alone….Goethe al-ways could find words for what he saw andfelt. He mistrusted words that were notbacked up by any experience. And he had noneed of mathematical certainty.”

The great attraction behind Goethe’s (ut-terly unproven) assertions about light is thatthey seem to imply that there is a third alter-native between accepting the evidence of thesenses and accepting the truth of an unseen(if experimentally verifiable) world of equa-tions. But there may be another, powerful,reason why Goethe stuck so tenaciously, tothe end of his days, to his theory of “chro-matics.” Nicholas Boyle writes in Goethe:The Poet and the Age: Volume I: The Poetryof Desire:

“A recent exegesis, of great brilliance, hasshown that the underlying structure ofGoethe’s unwearying argument for a newchromatics is that of a defense of Arianism—the heretical belief that Christ was not di-vine—against the tyrannical sophistries ofthe established Trinitarian Christology.Light is tortured, indeed crucified, with theinstruments of the scientists, who, like achurchful of theologians parroting inheriteddogmas, endeavor to split up the pure sim-plicity of divinity into seven colors or threepersons or some other magical number inwhich they would rather put their trust thenin what their eyes and their reason tell them.It may have been within a couple of monthsof his moment of conversion [to his newtheory of light] that Goethe began to makethe comparison of light suffering at thehands of Newton and his followers withChrist suffering at the hands of the or-thodox.”

The irony is that Newton himself was anArian and did not believe that ultimately thecrucifixion of Christ had any significance.This was not public knowledge in Newton’stime, nor was it in Goethe’s but, probably,had the poet known, he would not haveceased trying to find some felt and humanreality behind the ever steadily ossifyingtechnology of the modern world.

Boar (Pig) 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959 ,1971,1983, 1995, 2007—Reliable and self-sacrificing. Noble spirit and chivalrous. Shyand sincere. Tendency to be naive bringspain in relationships.

Year of the DogIf the character of a certain lunar year

can be seen to take on the quality of the an-imal, then 2006 might be seen to emphasizeissues of loyalty and team work. The positiveand negative traits of the dog as a symbolmight give us a hint of the year ahead or theareas to pay attention to. We might consideremulating the positive qualities of our caninefriends such as loyalty and group conscious-ness. In a humorous vein, should we there-fore be careful not to bark up the wrong tree?Perhaps we’ll be lucky and someone will“throw us a bone?”

On a more serious note, it is said that theChinese believe that the animal which rulesthe year of birth has profound influence onyour life, remarking, “This is the animal thathides in your heart.” A much deeper under-standing of these principles would be re-quired to reflect on that. I can report, how-ever, that 2006 will be a once-in-sixty-yearcombination called Bing Xu, bringing to-gether the Third Heavenly Stem, Bing, andthe Eleventh Earthly Branch, Xu, Dog. Ireally can’t speculate what profound signifi-cance this might have without a great dealmore study, but I am able to wish you, “GungHay Fat Choy!” Happy New Year!

The Reappearance of the World TeacherThe world’s major religions await the return of a great Teacher known as the Christ, Krishna, the Buddha, the Messiah,the Imam Mahdi and the Bodhisattva. More aptly referred to as “World Teacher,” Maitreya (My-TRAY-uh) holds thatposition, which is the pinnacle of the Spiritual Hierarchy. However, Maitreya is not a religious leader, nor does He seekfollowers. Rather, He is a Teacher for people of all religions and no religion alike.

On 19 July 1977 Maitreya descended from His Himalayan retreat, entering Pakistan before traveling to London, Englandby airplane, hence fulfilling His prophecy to return by way of the clouds, which He foretold two-thousand years agothrough His disciple, now the Master, Jesus.

What is the Spiritual Hierarchy?

The Spiritual Hierarchy is a group of perfected Men, known simply as Masters, who have completed, through countlessincarnations, the evolutionary journey on this planet. For millennia the Masters have resided in the remote mountainousand desert areas, overseeing humanity’s evolution and inspiring our great artistic, political and humanitarian movements.Many Masters are, similarly, returning to the outer world. The Master Jesus resides outside of Rome.

A photograph of Maitreya (with healer Mary Akatsa) taken in Nairobi Kenya, 1988.Maitreya appeared, spoke in perfect Swahili, healed many people and later disappearedinto thin air. The happening was reported on CNN and the BBC.

Is sharing, the answer to many of our problems?

Hundreds-of-millions of people are shackled by poverty and millions suffer and die yearly from preventable starvationand disease. Consequentially, the sullen anger that poverty and powerlessness engenders is a root motivator ofterrorism. Such problems can seem difficult but solutions are often simple. Maitreya will inspire humanity to recognizeitself as one family and, hence, to build a civilization founded on sharing, economic and social justice, and cooperation.

When will we see Maitreya?

A global stock market crash is predicted to eventuate very soon. Afterwards, Maitreya will be interviewed on television.Maitreya will not announce Who He is but leave that recognition up to each individual. Referring to that time, a Mastersaid, “Gradually, it will become obvious that change must be tried, at least, and some experiments will be undertaken.This will convince many of the feasibility of sharing and lead to the Day of Declaration, the signal that the New Time hasbegun.”

During the Day of Declaration we will see Maitreya on television yet He will not speak we will hear Him inwardly (ortelepathically). Simultaneously, the Christ Principle, the energy which Maitreya embodies, will flow in great potency. AsMaitreya says, “It will be as if I embrace the world. People will feel it even physically.” There will be no doubt thatMaitreya is the awaited Teacher.

MASTERING THE ARTOF OBSERVATION -Vol. I of YourImmortal Brain

Dr. Joe Dispenza—One of 14scientists, researchers, and

teachers featured in the film,“What the BLEEP Do We

Know!?” Dispenza suggests thatbecoming a skilled observer may

empower us to exercise agreater degree of mind over

matter. Drawing on new findings in neuroscience andquantum physics, this DVD explains how people have expe-rienced spontaneous remissions of diseases by learninghow to “rewire” their brain. Quantum science tells us thatan observer directly affects the nature of reality. Electronsbehave like waves of probability until an observer looks fortheir position then, they demonstrate characteristics ofparticles, i.e., solid matter. As observers within thequantum field of potentials, perhaps we are only limited byour knowledge and observation skills. If by developingthese abilities we can rewire our brain, we should be ableto produce tangible changes in our life.
