hen Time Magazinenamed threewhistleblowers as its“Persons of the Year” a

spotlight was placed on the tide ofexposés which dominated thenews last year. Whether, in termsof corporate corruption,governmental misfeasance/malfeasance, injustice in theworkplace, or a host of other ills,2002 was unrelenting in itsrevelation to us all that the godsdo indeed have feet of clay.Some might suggest that such aplethora of uncovered badnesswas just a passing phase, andlife will soon return to normal,but we propose that, thus far,we have seen only symptomsof something much deeper which has only begun to unfold.

Something in our collective psyche may have been shaken loose by theshock of 9/11 and its aftermath, forcing us to think about things whichpreviously had been almost ignored or forgotten. In the face of loomingthreats to life itself, the search for meaning and the real purpose in life, formany, has taken on a new urgency and, consequently, we have become lesstolerant of the shams and scams which in less turbulent times could befoisted upon us with impunity. Such changes do not bode well for themerchants of illusion who have flourished in the twilight.

At Atlantis Rising Magazine, we believe that philosophies and scientificparadigms which limit the possibilities of the human soul also reflect greatcorruption at the top of the idea establishment. From this quarter has come amultitude of cheats and ploys calculated to align us all with discreditedworld views (several of which you can read about in this issue). Hopefully,the new honesty will prove the undoing of this group as well.

‘Scientific’ doctrines declaring that we are but animals—mere accidents ofnature for whom destiny is a meaningless illusion—no longer awe the peopleand empower these self-anointed “custodians of ultimate truth.” Andnotwithstanding frantic efforts to prolong their tenure at the top, a corrupt‘scientific’ priesthood—out of touch with its own divinity—finds theemptiness of its official pronouncements becoming clear to all and itsdeparture from the dais of authority inevitable.

Some believe that in our society there is a kind of collective compass bywhich we navigate in times of turmoil. Like shipwrecked sailors, we seekfixed stars to guide us to safe harbor. At such times, deep questions ofidentity and origin—who are we? where did we come from? and where arewe going?—emerge, as if from the wings, to challenge the soulless scenarioswith which we have contented ourselves in their absence.

The process, we believe, is accelerated when the facts which othermedia ignore are reported. Reason enough for this publication to do what itdoes.

Just call us whistleblowers.

Battling for Understandingriting to AtlantisRising, via snail mail,or e-mail, is the best,but not the only wayto make your views

known to our readers. There are also“forums” on the Atlantis Rising website (go to www.Atlantis Rising.comand select “Discussions”).

West’s New VideoThis note is just to let you know

how pleased we are at David S. Lewis’senthusiastic and perceptive review ofour Magical Egypt DVD series (A.R.#37).

Several observations I’d like tomake: Despite the banner at thebottom of every page about your ARcatalog, I don’t think readers automati-cally realize that the product can bepurchased through you. I only figuredthis out myself when the apparent lackof sales info was pointed out to me. Ithen, after no little head-scratching,put 2+pi+phi+e together to get 4 (moreor less) and got myself pointed to thecatalog. Other readers may not be asmotivated to find the solution and mayjust be left wondering. So ... for what itis worth...

2. While David Lewis is generous inhis praise of the unique and strikingvisual aspect of our project, the nameof my colleague entirely responsiblefor this is omitted. This is a bit like a re-viewer writing a rave for the best rendi-tion of Hamlet ever seen, and then for-getting to name the actor in the role.AR readers should know that it’sChance Gardner behind the visuals,and much else besides.

3. A point that is actually worth ex-ploring in more detail than I will allotto it here: Mr. Lewis writes “one wouldhave to be predisposed (to the sym-bolist view), in that few outsidesources are brought in to make thecase for the skeptical or those sittingon the fence.” This is true.

But no amount of balanced debatewill ever dissuade the committedskeptic from his (rarely ‘her’) pas-sionate unfaith. Skeptics are trapped intheir materialistic universe and nothingthat I or anyone else can ever say willcure them from their delusions. Theywill go on believing the ancient Egyp-tians were ‘primitives’ while we areprogressive and ‘developed’. It is ofcourse always possible that the gods

themselves may see fit to put these sicksouls through the trauma of an NLE(Near Life Experience) in which casethey may suddenly get a realisticglimpse of this extraordinary universeof ours. But it will never come throughreasoned argument and scholarly de-bate. Not ever. Moreover, my col-leagues and I are rarely if ever invitedto participate in the ongoing onslaughtof network or cable videos based uponthe Establishment version of Egypt. Ifwe are, we participate at our peril, forwe are invariably unfairly edited or oth-erwise egregiously misrepresented.Since interested fence sitters are re-peatedly treated to these shows, wecould see no need to waste valuabletime setting up a polemic that might ormight not get them off their fence. ARreaders will know that no one enjoyspolemic more than I —this just wasn’tthe place for it. Or, put another way, ifyou go to Luxor what you want to seeis Luxor Temple and Karnak and theValley of the Kings and all the rest; youprobably do not want to waste timebeing shown improvements to thelocal sewage treatment plant.

Schoch’s New BookI read “Tracking the Pyramid

Builders” (A.R. #37) by William P. Ei-gles, Secretary of the International Re-mote Viewing Association, with in-terest. The article is actually a review

of Robert Schoch’s new book Voyagesof the Pyramid Builders: The True Ori-gins of the Pyramids from Lost Egyptto Ancient America.

Schoch uses his new book to pro-pose on a scientific basis the obvious,that all of the megalithic monumentsstrewn over the surface of the earth be-long to a worldwide civilization thathas been lost to history’s view. Thesemegalithic monuments were discov-ered in a haphazard manner over thecenturies and without coordination in-corporated into a scientific canon thathad no explanation for them by as-signing their origin to the ancestors ofwhatever indigenous people happenedto be living around them at the time oftheir discovery.

There is no method in claiming thatmegalithic ruins we could not con-struct today were somehow built bylocal primitives, and there is no sci-ence to be obtained from the pasticheof ignorance that results.

Yet Eigles would hold Schoch’s pro-posal to a test that wasn’t applied tothe motley morass of misinformationthat the proposal seeks to replace. “Asfar as establishing the actual commo-nality between the pyramids of dif-ferent times and places is concerned,”Eigles asserts, “Schoch’s claims seempreponderantly subjective, given thedearth of actual archaeological evi-dence to support them.”

Aside from the fact that differentplaces are involved, we know nothingabout the megalithic structures in ques-tion other than the commonalities thatSchoch points out. When I refer to theresults of the consensus belief thatmegaliths are the product of primitivesas ignorance, I am therefore using theword literally. No one knows how themegalithic structures around the worldwere constructed. The consensus con-jectures ignore the absence of this cru-cial piece of knowledge and forgesahead to claim what its position as ex-pert demands, knowledge of origin itcannot have in reality.

Because all of the consensus conclu-sions are founded on the absence ofthis crucial piece of knowledge, con-sensus conclusions about the megalithsare based on ignorance and thus theproduct of ignorance.

Surely Eigles, whose own endeavorsface ignorance on the part of those

READER COMMENTSPerhaps the pyramids will not be

physically destroyed, although it is a“true” possibility. Moreover they couldbe potentially used to influence the“masses.” Even a relatively small “find”may be used to add credence to a polit-ical system, various faiths and aplethora of alternative theories re-garding the purpose of thesemonuments.

Yet Dr. Hawass has the media spot-light firmly on him and is working onprobably the world’s most famoustourist attraction. Should he release anyinformation at all? should be the ques-tion, if so, to whom, and when?

If you think different, then think ofthis. If the exploration of the shaft re-vealed an artifact, then what would therepercussions have been if they hadfound (ignoring obvious time framesand probabilities): a crucifix, a gold starof David, the Koran, a statue ofBuddha, a copy of “the joy of sex,” aset square and compass, a semicon-ductor material, an alien skull?

Noah’s ArkThe reason they cannot resurrect

the Ark is because it is in a very dan-gerous location that is prone to snowavalanche. Several years ago part of itwas visible because of the snowshifting and weather conditions, butnow according to aviation specialist, itis broken in half and buried. Severalpeople have ventured up there in veryharsh and dangerous conditions andsome pictures were taken and pieces ofartifacts and wood were brought backand analyzed.

The story of Noah’s ark is a literal ac-count of something which parallelssomething else that’s going to happenin the future. As Mark Twain said, his-tory may not necessarily repeat itself,but it sure does rhyme.

Larry Gerndt

Life and CancerThe longer you live, the greater the

chance of developing cancer of onesort or another. Cancer is the result of amutation that causes cells to keep di-viding unchecked. It results from expo-sure to some mutagenic item, genetics,or from natural errors in cell division.When you live longer, two thingshappen: 1) you are exposed to moremutagenic items (such as sunlight) 2)cancer has more time to develop andshow up.

In other words, if you live longenough you will probably developcancer.

TomB

who seek to evaluate Remote Viewing,can understand Schoch’s reluctance tomeet the opposition on its own field ofbattle—ignorance.

Instead of arguing from ignorance,Schoch attempts to take commonali-ties found relative to megaliths all overthe world and create a working hy-pothesis that will form a basis for fur-ther study. Yet Eigles takes Schoch totask for not being among the “respect-able researchers” who, approaching“the past with only scant hard evi-dence . . . remain vigilant againstfreighting assumptive ideas with moresubstance and credibility than they ac-tually deserve.”

To the contrary, Schoch is takingthe only evidence available, the com-monalities dealing with the worldwidemegalithic remains and proposing abold hypothesis that agrees with thosecommonalities. The commanalitiesSchoch highlights are the only factsdealing with the megaliths availableand his hypothesis will become theworking hypothesis around which allthe stray and yet to be discovered factssurrounding the megaliths will beorganized.

Rather than disagreeing with a sci-ence that is already well developed,Schoch is providing a foundation for ascience that has yet to be developed,one that has been only visited by dilet-tantes whose motivations, in words Ei-gles misapplies to Schoch “for variousactivities and actions on the part of theancients are clearly speculative in na-ture” and in fact, are based on ignor-ance of even the most basic facts.

From the Atlantis Rising Forums

Great Pyramid WarsZahi Hawass is hung up by “scien-

tific” materialism. The pyramid wasconstructed for the preservation of“spiritual” materialism. This is the an-cient concept, “as above, so below.”Nevertheless, Hawass must do as he isdoing. If he said that a hieroglyph wasthe “end of the journey” he wouldhave to reveal the Fables of the An-cients to prove it. The moment he didthat, the “scientific” community wouldrip him to pieces. If he successfullyproved that Giza was an ancient prede-cessor to Mecca, the Islamists terroristsin his own land would blow the pyra-mids to pieces.

ASA’s struggle to silence chargesthat it faked the Apollo Moon mis-

sions continues to escalate. In thewake of last year’s Fox TV prime-timespecial “Moon Hoax,” as well as otherdocumentaries, books, and the relatedcontroversy on the internet, not a fewintelligent and serious people havebegun to wonder aloud if, indeed, inan effort to get an upper hand in thespace race of the 1960s, NASA did—insome West Coast studio—actually fakethe landings.

Things reached such a pitch late lastyear, in fact, that the agency an-nounced plans to produce a book re-futing the allegations. The idea waslater dropped after the agency wascharged by some in the scientific com-munity of responding to ignorance,thereby giving it undeserved credi-bility. Author James Oberg, a formerspace shuttle controller, now says hestill intends to write the book whetheror not NASA sponsors him.

Like most such conspiracy theories,the “Moon Hoax” affair has a polarizingeffect, putting orthodox opinion onone side and detractors of any kind onthe other. Any middle ground becomesvirtually untenable. Those who ques-tion the official story are accused of ig-norance and paranoia. Those who

NNASA CREDIBILITY UNDER ASSAULT

agree with it are charged with naiveteor worse.

Anyone, though, who has wit-nessed, at close range, the launch of anApollo rocket, interviewed a moon-walking astronaut, or met with many ofthe scientists and engineers of thespace program is unlikely to be im-pressed with the suggestion that themoon program was a giant charade. Afew fear, though, that a larger, butmore subtle, point could be lost in thesquabble.

If NASA finds its credibility under at-tack, some—especially those who havesuggested that the agency is blockingevidence of intelligent life on Mars—wonder what could be more strategi-cally useful to NASA than to choose abattlefield on which it enjoys an over-whelming advantage. Could turningback such a dubious attack then makeit easier to ignore more serious andcredible questions—to brush them offas more of the same? The danger felt isthat the failure of the “moon hoax”challenge could help to inoculate theagency in the public mind againstcharges that it has dealt unfairly inother controversies involving, say, in-telligent life from elsewhere in the uni-verse—maybe on Mars, or even here onearth, now or in the ancient past.

According to sci-entists at the Univer-sity of Arizona, saltywater driven by hot

magma from deepin the planet’s in-

terior may becreating the myster-

ious streaks whichhave been recently

mapped.The streaks have

been under observa-tion since first pho-

tographed by the Vi-king Orbiter in the

1980s. The MarsGlobal Surveyor

spacecraft has beentracking them since

April of 1999 asthey have appeared

and then faded awayover time. Severalexplanations have

emerged, includingthe idea that theymay be explained

by wet debrisflowing down the

slopes. All explana-tions, though, in-

volve water.The presence of

water is a strong in-dication that life, atleast on the micro-bial level, could bepresent now. Some

researchers see further corroborationhere for the notion that Mars at sometime in its past may have hosted intelli-gent life responsible for large-scalestructures which appear to exist in thethe Cydonia region and elsewhere.

THE CASE FOR LIFE ON MARS GETSBOOST

he latest scandal in archaeology isa further chapter in the case of dis-

graced Japanese archaeologist ShinichiFujimura. Once considered one of theworld’s most prestigious archeologists,Fujimura had earned the nickname“God’s Hand,”or his uncanny knack offinding artifacts. All that came to anend in November,2002 when he wasphotographed bythe Japanese news-paper MainichiShimbun (see pic-ture) in the act ofplanting artifacts.Subsequently headmitted that hehad faked discoveries at 42 of the digsin which he had been involved. At twoother sites, he had insisted, his findswere genuine. It now turns out, notsurprisingly, that he was lying aboutthem too.

Tagajo Board of Education has beenreexamining Fujimura’s work since lastsummer, and now has concluded thatalmost everything he produced wasbogus. In fact, of stoneware found atShibiki in 1983, 161 out of 163 pieceswere covered with dirt different fromthat where they had supposedly beendiscovered. The same was true of all124 pieces found at Kashiwagi in 1987.

As author Michael Cremo (“The For-bidden Archaeologist”) has pointed outin these pages, mainstream archaeologyis dominated by consensus which hasnot always been based on the actual ev-idence. When evidence of skullduggerycomes to light, the question arises,how much else that we haven’t heardabout has been faked or manipulated toplease an elite or advance a career.

ating scenarios for the dawn ofcivilization continue to march

deeper into the mists of antiquity. Or-thodox assumptions built around thenotion that civilization first appearedon earth about 5,000 years ago areunder assault as never before. Now agroup of Chinese archaeologists havejoined the chorus, claiming in a new re-port that their nation’s roots can betraced back 8,000 to 10,000 years.

Recently unearthed are samples ofChina’s earliest painting, writing, col-ored pottery, crop seed strain spec-imen and buildings showing the devel-opment from a rural to an urbansociety at Dadiwan Ruins in northwest

ore bad news for the notoriousClovis Horizon theory.

In Atlantis Rising #37 we reportedon the work of Dr. James Adovasio atMercyhurst College in Pennsylvania.Human artifacts there have been datedto 17,000 B.P.E. which challenges theorthodox Clovis notion that mankindfirst came to North America across theBering strait to Alaska 11,500 years ago.

The latest contradictory evidencecomes from Mexico where a 13,000-year-old human skull has turned up. Afew years ago human habitats in MonteVerde, Chile were dated to 14,000years ago. And there are other corrobo-rating discoveries. Some anthropolo-gists have begun to talk openly of mi-grations by seafaring people across thePacific and the Atlantic.

World renowned authority SilviaGonzalez has been studying the Mex-ican skull at Mexico’s National Museumof Anthropology. She said the skull issimilar to others found belonging to thenow extinct Pericues people who pop-ulated the southern tip of Mexico’s BajaCalifornia state, along the Pacific Coastroute, until the 18th century.

“The question is, we have these veryancient individuals, but where did theycome from?” wonders Gonzalez, anearth sciences lecturer at Liverpool’sJohn Moores University in England.

Despite the evidence, though, mostcollege professors and researchers inthe field still talk of Clovis as estab-lished fact. Someday such teachers maybe thought of in terms usually reservedto describe other extinct species.

Prof. Li Xueqin, the prestigious re-searcher on the ancient history ofChina, said the discovery at DadiwanRuins suggested that the origins ofChina’s civilization could be far earlierthan the Shang Dynasty (16th to 11thcentury B.C.) and even the Xia Dynasty(2200 B.C. - 1700 B.C.).

As every music fan will confirm,sound can be pretty hot, but, as itturns out, it can be pretty cold too. Sci-entists have now discovered a way touse sound as a refrigerant. A researchteam, led by Steven Garrett, professorof acoustics at Pennsylvania State Uni-versity, has introduced somethingcalled thermocoustics which, it is said,can work both ways—either addingheat or removing it. The discovery isbeing hailed as a breakthrough com-

searcher claims tobe able to usesound to helppeople achieve se-renity despite thehectic pace ofmodern life. Thekey, according toNicole Lavoie ofthe Colorado-based Sound Wave En-ergy company, is to identify the “soulnote.” Every individual has one, shesays, and through use of her proprie-tary technology she can determinewhat it is.

The Soul Note, claims Lavoie, “isthe identity or frequency of one’sbeing.” Everything has such a fre-quency, trees, plants, animals, rocks,and the human voice. “As you humyour Soul Note,” she says, “you re-member who you truly are, enablingyou to live more in the present mo-ment, acting rather than reacting to sit-uations that arise.”

Lavoie is best known for her workapplying the discoveries of “Cymatics”researcher Hans Jenny to create soundwhich can, it is claimed, provide non-physical virtual nutrients. The healingresults of her CD products have beenpreviously discussed in Atlantis Rising(see “Sound Medicine” in AR #34).

To identify an individual’s SoulNote, the voice is analyzed by a trainedharmonist using customized computersoftware. More information may be hadby calling 866-768-5668 or visiting herweb site at www.harmonyera.com.

FINALLY, THE STORIES OF SUPPRESSED INVENTIONS ARE TOLD

receding every great advance and many of the setbacks in our history, thegeniuses of both light and darkness, have battled for the hearts and minds

of the rest of us. But, despite the stubborn resistance of those committed tothe primitive notions of earlier ages, the outrageous impossibilities of onegeneration continue to become the revolutionary breakthroughs of the nextand the basic necessities of the future.

Still... in the 20th century, while the Marconi's...the Henry Ford's...theThomas Edison's have succeeded in capturing most of the attention, otherswith technological prowess bordering on the miraculous, strangely, have goneunnoticed. Men with names like Tesla, Moray, Rife, Russell and Schauberger,laboring in almost complete obscurity, and achieving almost incomprehensiblemiracles--free energy, anti-gravity, transmutation of the elements, physicalrejuvenation and more--were yet largely rejected, ridiculed and despised by thescientific establishment of their day. But now, a few decades later, a newbreed of inventors, scientists and researchers is making rapid, if yetunpublicised, strides toward unraveling the astonishing secrets of those unsunggiants who preceded them. Today, many of these new technological magiciansfind themselves on the threshold of breakthroughs, still believed, by many, tobe the stuff of hallucination.

little less than 100 years ago, two bi-cycle mechanics showed that the

scientific establishment was dead-wrongabout the “impossibility” of heavier-than-air flight. On December 17, 1903, Orvilleand Wilbur Wright burned their namesinto history at Kitty Hawk, though it tookfive more years—not until late 1908 with aflight demonstration at Ft. Myer, Vir-ginia—for the Establishment’s media or-gans even to acknowledge that theWrights had pulled off a scientific andtechnological coup. Following theWrights’ seminal achievement, the nexthundred years witnessed a revolution intransportation and commerce. Then as-tronautics built upon aviation with explo-sive technology—giving rise to communi-cations satellites, weather satellites, andvoyages to the Moon, planets, asteroids,and comets. Space exploration has beenseverely hampered, to be sure, by thelack of an energy source much more po-tent than chemical combustion, andspace flight has been saddled by a restric-tive physics that is built on the shakiest offoundations. That is about to change,with a revolution in electricity that has alot to do with the fundamental physics of the universe.

It is a little over a century after much of our world beganto have access to widely distributed electric power, thanksto the pioneering by Nikola Tesla of polyphase alternatingcurrent. This began in 1896 with the generation of electricityat Niagara Falls and its transmission to other parts of NewYork. But Tesla’s plans were far greater. He wanted tolaunch a world of free energy—one in which electric powercould be tapped by anyone at any point on earth via “wire-less transmission.” Despite that great genius’s mostly unrec-ognized impact on civilization, an era of free energy did notbreak out; Tesla’s hopes were put on hold. His famous 187-foot Wardenclyffe transmission tower on Long Island waserected in 1903. Its ostensible purpose had been for globalradio communication, but Tesla’s driving ambition for it hadbeen to launch wireless power transmission as well. Thiswas not to be. Financial reversals and other problems led tothe tower’s destruction; it was sold for scrap in 1917. But thequest for free energy did not die. Just as there had beenmany failed aeronautical pioneers toward the latter part ofthe 19th century, so there were to be many failures in thequest for free energy—and some near-miss successes—throughout the 20th century.

Though we have seen many dead-end detours on the roadto free energy, it may be that 2003 will mark a turning point

in that journey. Victory is long overdue! Today, many solidstrands of research in free energy are coming together, andthe final triumph of limitless, clean energy is very muchwithin reach. In fact, sad to say, the primary ingredientholding back a raging breakout of a New Energy revolution isR&D money—in the right hands, of course! Foremost amongthe hopeful developments in New Energy is the recognitionof the work of Tesla himself, though free energy will notcome in the way the great inventor had planned it. Mostlikely there will be no generalized wireless transmission ofpower, but there will be free energy tapped from thevacuum state—the aether—at countless distributed sites withcompact free energy devices. Thus, the inevitable end of thepower-grid—just as Tesla had envisioned. This is in the pro-cess of happening as legitimate aether physics is recoveredfrom the impending wreckage of Einsteinian relativity and itsfiction of the “nothingness” of so-called “space-time.” I draw

the attention of those readers with a moremathematical physics bent to the compen-dious work of Dr. Paulo and AlexandraCorrea on their www.aetherometry.comwebsite. There one will find preciselyhow matters went astray, beginning in the19th century, and continuing with themany limiting fictions under whichphysics still labors.

If one does not care to probe the de-tails, but wants to see prototype plasmapower and self-sustaining aether motors inoperation, there is now a 100-minuteDVD, “From Plasma Power to the AetherMotor,” which can be ordered fromwww.aethera.org. Dr. Harold Aspden, anaether theorist himself and former di-rector of IBM’s European patent opera-tions (from 1963 to 1983), introduces theCorrea technology by describing howelectromagnetic theory went astray asearly as the 1820s! Seeing the DVD maynot exactly bring one to “believing,” but itis the next best thing. My hard-fast testi-monial based on hands-on testing and fa-miliarity with the physics and its discov-erers is that this technology is for real—there is no hanky-panky involved, no con-

cealed batteries, etc. This is the first time in the quest forfree energy from the aether that such pedigreed devices haveappeared in accessible public view.

No less than three types of free energy technologies aredisplayed in operation and testing: 1. The mid-1990s pat-ented pulsed plasma power Pulsed Abnormal Glow dis-charge (PAGD™) reactor devices, powering spinner motorsand spinning up flywheels (50 watts of DC electricity in, 500watts mechanical power out); 2. Patent-applied-for self-running Aether/ORgone Motor-Converter technology, stem-ming from the work of Nikola Tesla and Wilhelm Reich—motors that are driven by aether energy captured with “or-gone accumulators,” by vacor (evacuated) glass tubes, andeven by ungrounded human bodies! and 3. Stirling motorsdriven not by fuel combustion, but operated anomalouslyfrom a hybrid orgone accumulator chamber during both day-light and deep into a cold Canadian night. The pioneeringdocumentary is filled with simple demonstrations of mass-free aether energy—from the vacuum, the ground, the atmos-phere, and human bodies. This illustrates the existence of anenergy realm which has heretofore been both ignored andgrossly misunderstood. Yes, there is an intimate connectionbetween physics and biophysics—as some of the more effec-

Adventures in the Ukraineast year, I visited the Ukraine twice, spreading the message of forbiddenarchaeology among scientists, students, and the general public.

The first visit was in the spring. At that time, I was invited to give a talkto the archaeologists at the Institute of Archaeology of the UkrainianAcademy of Sciences in Kiev, the ancient capital of the Ukraine. There I pre-sented a summary of the evidence for extreme human antiquity docu-mented in my book Forbidden Archeology. I also spoke about the Vedicbackground of my work, which is inspired by my studies in the Puranas, theancient historical writings of India. And finally, I discussed the topic of knowl-edge filtration, by which archaeological evidence for extreme human an-tiquity is eliminated from normal scientific discussion.

It is very upsetting tomy extremist critics (I callthem the “fundamentalistDarwinists”) that I get suchinvitations from profes-sional archaeologists.These extremist critics wishto totally bar me and mywork from the world of sci-ence, but the world of sci-ence, apart from theseextremist critics, seemsquite open to at leasthear my ideas.

The talk at the Instituteof Archaeology went well.About fifty archaeologistsattended. I was intro-duced by one of the di-rectors. Afterwards, sev-eral archaeologistspurchased copies of the Russian edition of my book The Hidden History ofthe Human Race (the abridged edition of Forbidden Archeology). Althoughmost of the people speak Ukrainian, a Slavic language related to Russian,they also know Russian quite well. Still, I hope that eventually a Ukrainianpublisher will bring out a Ukrainian edition of the book. In any case, severalarchaeologists approached me after the talk and told me that they havehad experience of the knowledge-filtering process operating in their disci-pline there. One of the archaeologists accompanied me out to my car. Hesaid he very much appreciated my talk. He said that some years ago, thearchaeologists at the institute would have weekly sessions in which theydeeply questioned the fundamental assumptions underlying their practiceof archaeology, but over the years these discussions had stopped. He saidthat my work made a contribution to getting archaeologists thinking aboutthese things again.

Another highlight of the spring tour was a visit to the Dnepropetrovsk His-

torical Museum. Dnepropetrovsk. The secondlargest city in the Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk duringthe Communist era was a closed city, off-limits totourists because of its missile factories and othertop secret installations. When I arrived at the mu-seum, I was met by its director, who introduced

me to Dr. Larisa Churilova, head of the archaeology collec-tion. Dr. Churilova led me on a tour of the archaeology collec-

tions. I learned some interesting things from her. While showing meold tombs, skeletons, and items buried along with the skeletons, she

told me that the evidence suggested to her that the Stone Age people ofthis region believed in reincarnation. I found that quite interesting, because,as a student of the Vedic philosophy, I accept reincarnation as a fact. Iasked her if she and her colleagues had published anything on the topic.She said no, because the editors of many of the professional journals frownon such cultural interpretations of archaeological evidence. They just wantto print things like “a stone flake 2 centimeters long was found at a depth of1 meter in the excavation,” without offering any thoughts about what rolethe object may have played in the conscious lives of the people who madeand used it.

Other objects in the museum suggested contacts or relationships withthe Vedic culture of India. Aside from evidence for extreme human antiq-uity contradicting the Darwinian theory of evolution, evidence for the pres-ence of Vedic culture in various parts of the world is one of my main inter-ests. Many Ukrainian and Russian archaeologists, having noticed the signs ofVedic culture in that part of the world, have concluded that the Vedic cul-ture originated in the steppes of the southern Ukraine and then moved intoIndia about 3500 years ago. But I believe it is more accurate to say that theVedic culture was always present in India, and that the signs of Vedic cul-ture discovered by archaeologists in the southern Ukraine represent a radia-tion of that culture from India.

During this first tour, I also spoke to students and professors of archae-ology and history at several universities in Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Do-netsk. And I also had a chance to speak to the people in general throughpublic lectures and the media. Major articles about me and my work werepublished in the major national and urban newspapers, with headlines suchas “Humans Are Not Apes, Says Controversial Archaeologist from USA.”

The response to the spring tour was so positive, that I came again in thefall to visit three other major cities—Kharkov, Odessa, and Lvov. Kharkov islike the Pittsburgh of the Ukraine, a tough, grimy industrial center, but likePittsburgh it also has its cultural side. In Kharkov I had a meeting with promi-nent scientists and philosophers at the House of Science, who came thereto hear me talk on forbidden archaeology. Odessa, on the Black Sea coast,is somewhat like New Orleans, a rowdy port town, with a long history ofsmuggling and black marketing, and a mixture of various cultures.

In addition to my usual university lectures and media interviews, I hadthe chance in Odessa to meet Dr. Boris Mukha, a paleontologist at the Mu-seum of Paleontologyof the University ofOdessa. Parts of under-ground Odessa arehoneycombed withsandstone caves thatgo for miles. The caveswere put to good useby the partisans who re-sisted the German oc-cupation during WorldWar II, but they are alsofilled with deposits inwhich can be foundbones of animals mil-lions of years old. Dr.Mukha showed me acollection of animalbones between 3 and 4million years old that

iNEWSiNEWSdisplay signs of havingbeen modified for useas primitive tools.Some of the jawbones of mammalshave holes drilled inthem. The holes haveled some to speculatethat the animals werekilled by bullets shotby space visitors mil-lions of years ago. Myinspection of thebones does not sup-port that particularidea. It seems that thebones were modifiedfor some deliberatepurpose. In addition

to the holes, I saw that many of the edges had been sharpened and pol-ished.

Dr. Mukha told me that when the bones were first shown to specialistsfrom Russia, they said that they obviously had been modified by an intelli-gent being. But when they were informed of the ages of the bones, theychanged their minds. A report submitted by Dr. Mukha to the Russian journalPriroda (Nature) was rejected. This seems strange to me. It seems that thebones could, at the very least, be attributed to a hominid on the level ofAustralopithecus. The evidence shows that the environment around Odessa3-4 million years ago was warm and dry, like the African savannah. But sci-entists seem to object to the idea that Australopithecus could have beenpresent outside of Africa. So the bone tools of Odessa provide another caseof knowledge filtration.

As far as I am concerned, the modifications of the animal bones couldhave been made by anatomically modern humans living 3-4 million yearsago in the Ukraine. I have shown in Forbidden Archeology that there are nu-merous discoveries of human bones and artifacts demonstrating that hu-mans of our type were present in various parts of the world at that time andfar earlier.

Inspired by the historical research I did in Forbidden Archeology, Dr.Mukha and a coauthor are now working on a study of the anomalous ar-chaeological discoveries made by earlier generations of archaeologists, ge-ologists, and paleontologists in Eastern Europe. I am looking forward toseeing that report, as it could add another chapter to the history of for-bidden archaeology. Dr. Mukha also showed me an account from YevliaChelevi, a seventeenth-century Russian traveler in Turkey, who saw bones ofgigantic humans in a cave there.

After Odessa, I went to Lvov, a very cultured and architecturally beau-tify city in the far-western part of the Ukraine. There I had a public lecture at-tended by about five hundred people. After the talk, a graduate studentfrom the university raised some loud objections of a purely theoretical na-ture. I let him go on for some time, but in the end, when I asked him if hecould offer any specific objections to any of the specific cases I presentedin the talk, he could not do it. As I did after the spring tour, I then went bytrain to the Crimea, to spend a few days in Yalta. There I finished writing theintroduction to my forthcoming book Human Devolution, which should be inthe bookstores by fall 2003. Yalta, because of its southern position, usuallyescapes the extreme cold of the Russian and Ukrainian winter. Czar Nich-olas II had at Yalta a winter palace that was later used in 1943 for a famouswartime meeting between Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill. My first two daysin Yalta were sunny. The southern coast of the Crimea, with its dry mountainsfalling to the sea, has a California air to it. But an unusual cold spell, pow-ered by northeast winds from Siberia, brought snow to Yalta. Bowls of hotborscht with sour cream helped me survive until it was time to take the trainto Kiev, where I boarded my flight back to Los Angeles.

ccording to the view of main-stream historians, primitivecivilization in Mesopotamia,

Egypt, and in India emerged from thestone age just over five thousandyears ago.

Just a few centuries after what theexperts say was the first great laborsaving invention of the ancient world,the wheel, society crossed a major di-vide and headed inexorably towardthe modern world. The wheel, we aretold, revolutionized primitive societyand set the stage for the great achieve-ments which were to follow.

Such is the conventional scenariofor the dawn of civilization on Earth.The assumption is, that the rise ofhighly organized society was unprece-dented. If there had been an earlieradvanced civilization, we would havediscovered unmistakable evidence—highways, and bridges and electricalwiring; plastic bottles, city dumps,and CD Roms. Those, after all, arethe things which we will leave topuzzle future archeologists.

But could an ancient civilizationhave risen to heights similar to ourown and, perhaps, have traveled a dif-ferent road? Would we understand aworld which might have employedfundamentally different—though noless effective—techniques to harnessthe forces of nature? Would we un-derstand, for example, the transmis-sion of energy by means other than a power grid, rapid transit without internal com-bustion engines, or highly complex calculations involving earth science and astronomywithout electronic computers? Have we been surrounded by evidence of such ancientadvancements, but not yet, advanced enough ourselves to grasp the astoundingimplications.

Now a breakthrough video from the creators of Atlantis Rising magazine takes alook at real evidence—largely ignored by the academic establishment—which shattersthe orthodox scenario for the dawn of civilization on Earth. Now assembled in a devas-tating one-hour documentary, hosted by Atlantis Rising Editor and Publisher J. DouglasKenyon, are the comments and evidence of breakthrough researchers such as JohnAnthony West, Robert Bauval, Richard Noone, Colin Wilson, John Michell, Pat-rick Flanagan, Christopher Dunn, Zecharia Sitchin, David Hatcher Childress,Edgar Evans Cayce and others.

he longer an artifact remainsupon the surface of theearth, the more natural it be-comes for us to believe thatit is the property of eve-

ryone—an emblem of humanity’s his-tory on the planet. This is certainlytrue of the structures on the Giza pla-teau of Egypt, where Sphinx and pyra-mids continue to evoke memories andmysteries after thousands of years,even to people who have not visitedthe site personally. New constructionon this ancient site raises questionsand concerns which should beexplored.

Since the beginning of 2002, thiswriter and a European team of investi-gators and explorers have been re-cording the construction of a massivesystem of walls around the historic py-ramidal sites and the larger unexca-vated area of Giza, Egypt—in total, anarea covering approximately eightsquare kilometers. Why build thesemassive walls at this time?

Certainly Giza is one of the finest ar-chaeological zones of the world. Since1991, when masks of gold and otherartifacts were found in workers’tombs, the whole area has been espe-cially sensitive towards undergroundexploration and the possible discoveryof a vast treasury of history. Are therenew treasures of ancient Egypt yet tobe uncovered that require sophisti-cated technology and surveillance plat-forms to protect the ongoing researchalong the Giza plateau? Has, perhaps,an area been discovered that showstracings of rare earths and unique min-erals? Or is it simply, as some officialsare claiming, a move to protect the pla-teau from terrorists and control themasses of tourists visiting the area?

The details of this new constructionsuggest an initiative that is both multi-purpose and grand in scale: the wallnear Nazlat al Salman will be, at a min-imum, 7 meters (23 feet) high. Aresuch measures solely for crowd con-trol?

The walls have been built in stages.Images taken in February of 2002 re-veal the walls extending far out intothe desert where, for the most part,they have not been noticeable to theaverage visitor. The walls have beencarefully constructed on a deep andwide foundation, at least 2 meters (6feet) below ground, with iron rodpoles poised to support the concreteinterfaces, with room for a special at-tachable cover at the top. All in all thissuggests a gargantuan wall.

The major Wall starts about 90 me-ters (100 yards) to the south of theSound and Light show, near three smallbuildings. There are three major walls,generally of the same height: One runsalong the village of Nazlat al Salmanand the adjoining farming area, ex-tending out to Abusir; a second wallruns north-south some 10 to 30 kilome-ters (5-20 miles) into the desert; a thirdwall to the south of the area runs eastto west. No wall is needed on the northside of the Giza area because of precar-

ious cliffs, nor in the west because ofthe vast desert.

Several homes in the area were re-moved to make room for the Wall, buta mosque was spared when local villageinhabitants protested.

The Wall is homogeneous and itsmanner of construction does not varyfrom location to location. The basicfoundations are built of poured con-crete on an elongated baseline that en-sures a ground plan width of close to ameter (40 inches) at the base. Portionswere poured quickly in 3 by 2.5 meter(10 foot by 8 foot) sections. With thistype of construction another wall couldbe put flush on the inside or outside ifan ‘additional’ parallel wall wereneeded. The parallel wall encasementswould be very durable and are similarto those used to protect the locationsof sensitive electronic equipment.

A new building constructed on twolevels with glass as a possible observa-tion place for the monitoring of touristsis another striking addition to the site.Built west of the Fayoom road, betweenthe Khephren pyramid and the pyramidof Menkaura, it prevents entrance bytourists.

ARCHAEOLOGY andthe LAW of GRAVITY

COMMENTareas and were commonly faced withhaving to haul loads of hay, logs orwhatever. They knew what it took tobale a ton of hay and lift a 300-poundlog or chunk of rock. But today ma-chines handle all of these heavy liftingand moving jobs and we have lost ourperspective. I had a conversation witha friend last night about these issuesand I was trying to explain why theEgyptians could not have built theGreat Pyramid with primitive tools andtechniques.

He was skeptical until he recalledan event that quickly shifted his atti-tude. I was telling him that I would bewilling to concede that the builderscould handle the millions of 2.5-tonblocks if he would deal with theproblem of the 70-ton megaliths overthe King’s Chamber. The light went onin his head. He suddenly became ani-mated as he told me how he and agroup of friends were faced withmoving a heavy pool table. They posi-tioned themselves about it, shoulder toshoulder, and gave the old heave-ho.

It came as a great surprise when thepool table remained rooted to thefloor. They could not lift it up evenone inch. My point sank in. Youcannot use manpower to lift a 70-tonblock of granite up and out of thequarry and onto a sledge. The task in-creases exponentially when we con-sider how 100-ton blocks were hoistedup and positioned more than 20 feetoff the ground in the Sphinx Temple.This is an engineering and physicsproblem that cannot be overcome bynumbers, which is how Egyptologiststry to solve it. Granite is very denseand a 20-foot long block can weigh 70tons. How many men can be stationedaround it to attempt a lift? Maybe fifty,which is not even enough manpowerto hoist up 10 tons.

This is an intractable problem thatwill never go away. As long as Egyptol-ogists insist that men lifted up the cy-clopean blocks of stone with nothingbut brute force and ropes, thisproblem will need to be overcome.The rest of their construction formulais moot until this primary obstacle isdealt with. If they cannot or will notprove that it was accomplished as theyclaim, then it is time to go beyondchallenging the rest of their baselesstheories. We need to discard thewhole orthodox house of cards andwalk away from the so-called debate.

Returning to the 350-ton cyclopeanmonsters, our highest-rated commer-cial cranes are near their limit with thisload. If anyone thinks that men, ropesand sledges lifted and hauled loads thatour heaviest equipment can barelyhandle, I will argue that this belief is asign of technological illiteracy. A fewweeks ago I was watching a documen-

crew in a logging town. I came toknow about handling heavy loads andwhat a front-end loader could lift and adouble flatbed logging truck couldhaul.

During the course of my thirty yearsof investigations into the mysteries ofancient civilizations, I have often beenmystified by the way people react tocyclopean blocks of stone being movedlong distances or hoisted up into theair. It was often with a blank look or ashrug that said, ‘Okay, what’s the bigdeal’? This response frustrated me and Ifelt like I was not communicating thescope and difficulty of the problem ade-quately. But I have since realized thatthe reason most people do not graspthe magnitude of the problem andwhat the ‘real’ enigmas of our planetare has to do with simple, directexperience.

he massive earth movermakes the average streetpickup look like a Tonkatruck. Rated to about 350tons, it is restricted to

mining operations since the federalhighway load limit is 40 tons and thetruck weighs more than that without aload. I was watching it being putthrough its paces in the local open-pit,copper mine in Bisbee, Arizona. Abone-jarring flash that snapped things—that I had long been trying to get a per-spective on—into place suddenly struckme.

The earth mover is the heaviesttruck that we have in modern civiliza-tion and it can haul the heaviest loadswe find littering the landscapes inEgypt, Bolivia and Peru—350 tons. Atone point in my life, as I was learningthe ropes of the literary world, Iworked on a cement construction

tary about a bridge that collapsedwhile a train was traveling over it. Iwent through a mental process similarto the one at the copper mine.

Locomotives, diesel or steam,weigh about 200 tons. They arerugged, hard working, heavy-dutypieces of machinery. There are manycyclopean blocks in Egypt and Peruthat weigh as much as a locomotive. Amonstrous crane was brought in tofish the locomotive out of the river.Imagine placing a locomotive on bareearth or sand. What would happen? Itwould immediately sink into theground. There is a good reason that

are not known for being mechanicallyinclined nor are they the ones doingthe sweat labor during excavations outin the field. It is extraordinarily easy toput pen to paper and make a 100-tonblock of stone move from the quarryup onto a temple wall. It is impossibleto meet that challenge in the real worldusing manpower unaided by modernequipment.

The fact is that Egyptologist MarkLehner discovered this years ago whenhe put an expert team together to tryand raise a 35-ton obelisk using ancienttools and techniques. It was filmed byNOVA. A master stonemason wasbrought in to quarry the granite blockfrom the bedrock. Unfortunately, hegave up after trying every trick heknew. They called a bulldozer in,which cut it away from the bedrockand lifted it onto a waiting truck. Thatwas really the end of the experiment,and it proved that it was not possibleto quarry and lift a block one-tenth thesize of the heaviest obelisk stillstanding in Egypt.

What More Proof is Needed?Lehner never again tried to use the

ancient tools to prove how the pyra-mids were constructed. In a later ex-periment aimed at showing that a 20-

train tracks are built on a gravel bedthat has railroad ties laid down cross-wise beneath the steel tracks.

Could several thousand men pull thelocomotive across the sand? That is ex-tremely doubtful. Some kind of hard-packed road would have been con-structed to take the weight and lessenthe tremendous drag. As we saw aboveour modern highways only hold upunder loads less than 40 tons. The av-erage 18-wheel tractor-trailer haulsabout 20 tons. So it is obvious thatloads exceeding 20 tons are indeedvery heavy. Those kinds of loads werehauled all over Egypt. Where is the evi-

dence that the necessaryroads were installed? Theywould not have disap-peared since they wouldhave been made out ofstones and brick masonry.

Assuming a few of theancient stone-block trans-port roads have been un-covered, they are perfectto test the orthodoxsledge-hauling theory.

The problem of howthe ancients moved theheaviest loads is quiteenough to crush the or-thodox building theoriesand time lines into dust inmy estimation. Academics

n November 1929, Halil Edhem,the Director of Turkey’s NationalMuseum, was classifying docu-ments when he came acrosswhat came to be known as the

‘Piri Reis Map’. Piri Reis (c1470-1554) was a well-

known seaman, a Turkish Admiral andauthor of a careful and detailed studyof the Mediterranean entitled KitabiBahriye. He was born in Gallipoli, anaval base on the Marmara Sea. He wasthe nephew of Kemal Reis, a piratewho had reinvented himself as aTurkish Admiral adventurer and made aname for himself in naval warfare. PiriReis sailed with his famous uncle from1487 to 1493 and was introduced tothe lucrative spoils of piracy. The mainactivity of the fleet was to fight pirates,and capture and plunder enemy ships.In 1495, Kemal Reis was invited to jointhe Imperial Turkish Fleet. He broughthis nephew with him when he took uphis new assignment.

The pirates had become Admirals. After his Uncle was killed in 1502

during a naval battle, Piri Reis turnedhis back on the seafaring life and begana second career as a mapmaker. A per-fectionist, Piri Reis would not toleratethe slightest error in the drawing of amap.

The famous chart that now bears hisname was drawn in 1513 using various,older source maps including, if we areto believe him, charts captured fromChristopher Columbus and others thatdate back to the time of Alexander theGreat. The Roe Deer skin upon whichit is drawn gives the map its brownish

tinge. Rectangular inshape, it is roughly twofeet wide and three feetlong (60 X 86 cm) and de-picts Portugal, Spain, thewestern ‘bulge’ of Africa, thecentral and southern AtlanticOcean, the Caribbean and theeastern half of South America.

In 1956 it was claimed that thesouthern portion of the map depictedsubglacial features of Antarctica (apoint to which we will return).

In September 1931, the Germanscholar Paul Kahle announced the dis-covery at the small, elite gathering ofthe 18th Congress of Orientalists inLeyden. The general public first learnedof the map’s existence in the 27 Feb-ruary 1932 issue of the IllustratedLondon News. Entitled “A ColumbusControversy: America—And Two At-lantic Charts,” the article noted that:“... Columbus got little further than themouth of the Orinoco, in Venezuela, inhis voyage along the coast of SouthAmerica in 1498, so that the stretchesof the South American coast given inthe Piri Reis’s chart must have beencopied from other sources.”

Missing from the map was thewestern half of South America, NorthAmerica and the whole eastern half ofthe world referred to by Reis as havingincluded “the Indian, and Chinese Seasgeometrically represented.”

In the July 23 edition of the maga-zine a longer article written by AkcuraYusuf, President of the Turkish Histor-ical Research Society, was more enthu-siastic about the map’s importance.The subtitle reads: Made Some Ten

It is here thatwe first glimpse of what Reis wrote onthe map and the sources for drawing it:“Piri Reis himself explains, in one of themarginal notes on his map, how he pre-pared it: ‘This section explains the waythe map was prepared. It is the onlychart of its kind existing now. I, person-ally, drew and prepared it. In preparingthe map I used about twenty old chartsand eight ‘Mappa Monde’ (i.e., thecharts called ‘Jaferiye’ by the Arabs, andprepared at the time of Alexander theGreat, in which the whole inhabitedworld is shown); the charts of the WestIndies; and the new maps made by fourPotuguese, showing the Sind, Indian,and Chinese Seas geometrically repre-sented. I also studied the chart thatChristopher Columbus drew for theWest. By reducing all these charts to asingle scale, I compiled the presentmap. My map is as correct and reliablefor the seven seas as are the charts thatrepresent the seas of our countries.”

Both are common experi-ences that illustrate what cutting-edgebiologist Rupert Sheldrake considersthe “seventh sense.” Unlike the sixthsense, which he says has already beenlaid claim to by biologists working onthe electrical and magnetic senses ofanimals and is rooted in time andspace, the term ‘seventh sense’ “ex-presses the idea that telepathy, thesense of being stared at and premoni-tion seem to be in a different categoryboth from the five normal senses andfrom so-called sixth senses based onknown physical principles.” Though

the geese we gaze at have a built-in bio-logical compass that enables them torespond to the earth’s magnetic field,Sheldrake thinks there’s more thanmagnetism afoot to keep them aloftand aligned.

The Cambridge-educated “heretical”scientist has, besides a love of plantsand animals, a way with words, and hasauthored a number of award-winningbooks with subjects as intriguing astheir titles. Dogs that Know WhenTheir Owners Are Coming Home, andOther Unexplained Powers of Animals(1999) won the British Scientific andMedical Network Book of the YearAward, while Seven Experiments thatCould Change the World (1994) wasvoted Book of the Year by the BritishInstitute for Social Inventions. Shel-drake is also the author of The Presenceof the Past (1988), The Rebirth of Na-ture (1990) and, with Ralph Abraham

and Terence McKenna, Trialogues atthe Edge of the West (1992) and TheEvolutionary Mind (1998). His latestbook The Sense of Being Stared At(Crown, 2003) delves into just suchsenses—phenomena he asserts isworthy of investigation. “I argue thatunexplained human abilities such astelepathy, the sense of being stared atand premonition are not paranormal,but a normal part of our biological na-ture,” he writes. Sheldrake feels thatprejudices rooted in the thinking ofseventeenth- and eighteenth-centuryphilosophers have inhibited researchand inquiry; “If we only open ourminds and make an effort to under-stand, we will be vastly rewarded withour new knowledge.”

Not only does Sheldrake think weshould be looking at heretofore unex-amined phenomena but, and he feelsstrongly about this, we should bringscience back to the people, to ama-teurs like you and me. Explaining thatscience is founded on the empiricalmethod (on experience and observa-tion), he turns to words again:“…billions of personal experiences ofseemingly unexplained phenomena areconventionally dismissed within insti-tutional science as ‘anecdotal.’ Whatdoes this actually mean? The wordanecdote comes from the Greek rootsan and ekdotos, meaning ‘not pub-lished.’ Thus an anecdote is an unpub-lished story.” He points out that courtsof law take anecdotal evidence seri-ously, often convicting or acquittingdefendants because of it. He also citesits role in medical research, stating that“when patients’ stories are publishedthey are then elevated to the status of‘case histories.’ To brush aside what

SHELDRAKE

people have actually experienced isnot to be scientific, but to be unscien-tific.”

For the past fifteen years, Sheldrakehas focused his scientific interest onhow systems are organized, pioneeringwhat he calls the “Hypothesis of For-mative Causation,” comprised of “mor-phic fields” and “morphic resonance.”Thanks to the Power Rangers andother kids’ toys, most of us casually usethe word “morph” to mean “changeinto” or evolve. Pre-cisely, says Sheldrake,whose work takes offfrom where the nowwidely adopted bio-logical concept of“morphogeneticfields” (used to ex-plain, for example,how arms and legscan have differentshapes even thoughthey contain thesame genes and pro-teins) left off.

Sheldrake sur-mises that the fieldsevolve along with thesystems they organizeand coordinate. Sincea field is a “sphere ofinfluence,” morphicfields would be thosethat can change orevolve their spheres of influence. Hesays there are morphic fields withinand around individual cells, tissues, or-gans, organisms, societies, ecosystems,and so on—fields that are shaped bypast events and patterns through an in-built memory called “morphic reso-nance.” This is how, he reasons, in-stincts and ‘species specific’ abilitiesdevelop; the enviable coherence ofbirds in flight is due to the morphicfield that links them and the resonantmemory that has evolved throughmillennia.

“’Instinct’ is a vague term for an in-herited pattern of behavior—conventional biology holds that in-stincts are programmed into thegenes—I argue that genes are grosslyoverrated and don’t do half the thingsthey’re cracked up to do,” he quips.“What they do is code for the sequenceof animo acids and proteins—they makethe right chemicals.” In Seven Experi-ments That Could Change the World,Sheldrake examines how termitesstructure their colonies and buildarches, noting: “Of course the insectshave genetic coding that prompts themto behave in certain ways, but the ac-

Continued from Page 28

tual forming of the nest and the coordi-nating of the colony is accomplishedwith morphic fields.” For those whofind the concept hard to fathom, he of-fers an analogy: “Just as a magneticfield can influence the pattern of ironfilings within it, so a morphic field caninfluence the behavior and movementsof cells within a body or memberswithin a group.” He also maintains thatsuch fields underlie the bonds thatform between pets and their owners.And here is his love: pets and peoplelearning from and helping each other.

With research assistants posted in anumber of places around the world

(London, Zurich, Cali-fornia, New York,

Moscow and Athensamong them), Shel-

drake maintains alarge database of pet-

owners who haveparticipated in “do-it-

yourself” experi-ments that are

simple, but rigorousenough to produce

evidence he can sup-port. “Hundreds ofvideotaped experi-ments have shown

that dogs are indeedable to anticipate

their owners’ returnin a way that seems

telepathic,” heclaims. Other results

indicate that cats, par-rots, homing pigeons

and horses are alsohighly telepathic.

While some dismiss his views andconclusions as nonsense, Sheldrake cer-tainly has the academic credentials tocommand serious consideration of histheories. He studied natural sciences atCambridge and philosophy at Harvard,where he was a Frank Knox Fellow.Having earned a Ph.D. in biochemistryat Cambridge in 1967, he was a Fellowof Clare College, Cambridge and wasDirector of Studies in biochemistry andcell biology there until 1973. As a Re-search Fellow of the Royal Society, hestudied the development of plants(with an emphasis on the hormoneswithin them) and the aging of cells,while enjoying seven years of stimu-lating academic conversation and luxu-rious accommodations. “I lived in sev-enteenth-century rooms in a beautifulcourtyard. At the ring of a bell, I wouldwalk across the courtyard, put on myacademic gown and sit down at a tablefurnished with a delicious meal and vin-tage wine.

FUTURE TECH

BY JOHN KETTLER

irst came our pets, then someof our children, and soon therest of us and everything weuse, if some have their way.The technology is called

radio frequency identification device(RFID), and it is decidedly a multiple-use technology at once rich in cleverpositive uses and yet fraught with po-tential for the most diabolical abuses.Are we on the verge of unprecedentedconvenience, personal security andseamless operation of increasinglycomplex, interconnected technologiesthroughout our civilization worldwide,or are we about to be, as so devastat-ingly put by renowned singer/songwriter Roger Waters, amused todeath, winding up the covert slaves,real prisoners, even corpses of a seduc-tive technology hiding a misery andlevel of control which make Orwell’s1984 seem like Paradise by compar-ison? History’s not encouraging.

Throughout history there has beena battle to demark and protect whatone has, and the mechanisms havebeen many and varied, ranging from asimple collar or rude fence to the vastexpanses and expense of a sultan’sharem or whole nations and continentsunder a dictator’s boot. Branding hasbeen used on cattle and people alike,and the Nazis tattooed their property,with SS men having their blood typestattooed in the armpit (for efficient cas-ualty treatment if hit) and concentra-tion camp inmates, Jewish and other-wise, a serial number on the forearmused for all manner of purposes.

More recent times have given riseto the familiar bar code, technicallyUniversal Product Code, found onmost products we buy, and seen onthe necks of genetically engineered su-persoldier trainees in James Cameron’sTV program Dark Angel, and evenmore disturbingly stapled to the fore-heads of luckless patrons of “otherbanks” in Washington Mutual ads, pa-trons who are then manhandled andscanned like so many groceries. U.S.military IDs prominently feature a bar-code for the individual.

Turning now to implantable micro-chips, we find that certain conceptsare deeply implanted within mass cul-ture, chiefly via films and TV, but alsocertain best-sellers, both later madeinto movies, such as Whitley Strieber’sCommunion and Budd Hopkins’ TheIntruders. Without question, mostpeople first saw an implant, albeit out-rageously and grossly distorted, inTotal Recall. There we saw ArnoldSchwarzenegger painfully extract a

“The device acts as a stimulatorwhich can activate a muscle, nerve orbrain frequency upon receiving theproper signal and will then initiate adesired response. The receiver gener-ates sensory impulses which are thenreceived through the afferent nerves.These register as sensations which arethe basis for perception.”

If you’re paying attention, what’sbeing said here is that the peopledoing this have gone way beyond meretracking and have moved into makingus perceive things and do things.

“Under projects such as MKDRACO and HATTER, today’s receiversare much smaller than the originals.Several types of “encephalators” areused to implant the devices into braintissue through the nostril of a sedatedsubject after hallucinatory program-ming has commenced. The process ispainful and, in some cases, may resultin permanent damage to the sinalcavity, resulting in later ear, nose andthroat problems for the subject inquestion. Another method used bysome programs is the use of an oral en-cephalator to insert the the transceiveror receiver through the soft palette(sic) of the mouth into the brain tissue. Continued on Page 66

This method is also conducted in con-cert with hallucinatory program cues.”Convicted bomber Timothy McVeighsaid he had a government implant.

In summary, we find part of the In-telligence Community informing anoted black project researcher thatother parts are doing profoundly detri-mental and anti-Constitutional things,among which are kidnapping citizensand under guise of some hallucinatoryprogram (alien abduction, mayhap?)performing dangerous and sometimesdamaging brain surgery to implant mi-crodevices allowing remote triggeringof one or more desired activities (withor without feedback) into an unwittingvictim. For a further look at how ad-vanced our real technology base is andhow easily it could be used to createfake alien abductions, please see Dr.Richard Boylan’s site, www.jps.net/drboylan under “Articles.”

The Lol-Tun Cave Mystery

BY RON LIBERT

omewhere in time, se-vere earth changescreated one of themost unique and dan-gerous cave systems

on the planet. Located in thesouthern Yucatan, the Lol-Tuncave network, at its lowestlevels, holds secrets that liter-ally rewrite history. These samesecrets also bear witness to theultimate disaster that probablydestroyed earth’s first major civ-ilizations.

In March, 1962, a small ex-pedition headed by explorer/author George Hunt Wil-liamson, was reportedly guidedby Mayan priests into a numberof lower-level chambers. DorrisAndre, the wife of George VanTassell (builder of the world-famous Integetron Building)was the only woman in theparty. The expedition’s Mayanlanguage interpreter, ProfessorVincente, was impressed withDorris’s great interest in Mayanhistory and soon the Mayanpriests themselves accepted heras a white Shaman. In recogni-tion of the spiritual aura theysaw in her persona, she wastold a most insightful history ofthe area’s Mayan population. After-ward, she and the rest of the partywere guided to a chamber with a lumi-nous fossilized ceiling. There, to theiramazement, they later reported thatthey found the skeletal remains ofwoolly mammoths, large (saber-toothed?) tigers and bison—a virtual mu-seum of Ice Age large, upper NorthAmerican animals. Williamson and Dr.J. Manson Valentine would later debatehow these extinct northern climate ani-mals came to be in this southern Yu-catan graveyard. The most logicaltheory (though thoroughly unaccept-able to most anthropologists): thesouthern Yucatan was once locatednear present-day Newfoundland—before a pole shift.

This is the story told by the Mayanpriests: There once was a great move-ment of the earth’s surface, causingoceans to overrun their basins andflood all land. A great civilization was

destroyed, with survivors clinging tofloating debris. Despite the heavy rainsthat followed for many days, the survi-vors were ‘carried’ by winds and cur-rent to the shoreline below the Yu-catan. (The priests literally pointed in asouthward direction—toward present-day Belize. The proof that this area isthe genesis of the early Mayan civiliza-tion lies under the jungle floor inBelize. Over one hundred populationcenters/cities have been geographicallymapped and are under the protectionof the Belize government.)

In approximately 989 A.D., The Az-tecs and Mayans in close proximity tothe Atlantic Ocean were visited byWhite Gods from the north. Theirleader had hair so red it seemed to bealmost on fire. (In celebration of theirvisit, some pottery pieces were paintedwith a picture of a Viking head and hisship. The White Gods/Vikings prom-ised to return.

vaders were those returning Gods. Sodid the Mayans.

After their conquest by the Spanish,many of the Mayan priests took up resi-dence in a few of the larger cave sys-tems. There they continued to practicein private all their traditional ceremo-nies, except for human sacrifices,which no longer had purpose. To someof the priests, their Spanish-catholicconquerors insisting on their accep-tance of the sacrificial death of Christon the cross was most disturbing. Itseemed to them that the sacrifice ofChrist that created the religion of theirconquerors meant their own humansacrifices had not been as acceptableto their gods.

As more and more Mayans escapedthe Spanish by hiding in the caves, themarvels of the lower levels of the Lol-Tun caves were discovered. From theirown ‘hand me down’ history, thesepresent-day Mayans knew of the signifi-cance of the animal bones. Ceremoniesdedicated to their ancestors were often

held in the ‘Chamber of GreatAnimal Bones’.

Because of the maze of pas-sages throughout the lowerlevels, only a few known pas-sages were used by the Mayans.Shortly after the Spanish con-quest, several hundred Mayansand a few priests descendedinto what they believed was aland of artificial light and plen-tiful water and fish stocks. Evenplant life was alleged to be abun-dant. Carrying only provisions offood, water and seeds forplanting, they descended out ofsight and were never seen again.They are believed to have founda paradise below the earth andto be thriving there today. Yet,it became a taboo to try tofollow those that descended, asthey are considered the ‘chosen’ones.

As to why the Mayan cal-endar ends in 2012, the priestssimply stated, “that is the end ofthe Mayan civilization.”

A number of cave visitors andexplorers have actually disap-peared into the maze of tunnelsin the lower levels of the Lol-Tun cave system. The lowerlevels have been closed to tour-ists for several years.

As a parting gift to DorrisAndre, the Mayan priests gaveher a set of ceremonial bowlsthat had once been used in ahuman sacrifice. One of thebowls bears the unmistakablelikeness of a Viking head and Vi-king long boat. There is believedto be human DNA in one of thebowls. A strange faced (God?)protrudes from one of thepieces, with hands linked be-hind his head.

The pottery pieces were inheritedfrom Dorris Andre by George Riddleand sold to the present owners in No-vember 2001. (Museums interested inexamining the pieces for possible dis-play should contact the author by e-mail at nablmc@earthlink.net.)

In an interview with the author inthe late 1980s, Dorris Andre was askedwhy the 1962 Williamson expeditionnever received any publicity. She re-plied, “George (Williamson) never com-pleted his book on the expedition. Hedid send the National Geographic somephotos, which I believe they did pub-lish later in 1962 or ’63. George wasnot very popular with the ranking an-thropologists, who usually discreditedwhatever he wrote. I understand Dr.

LOL-TUN CAVES

Valentine mentions the expedition inone of his books, but I have not read itmyself. I do believe if Professor Vin-cente had ever written a book on thehistory of the Mayans, it would be quitedifferent from the anthropology ver-sion.”

In 1986, Dorris’s son was murdered.Only his head was recovered and he isbelieved to have been murdered by Sa-tanists he was trying to expose. At thetime of his death, he was in possessionof some of the photographic documen-tation of the expedition. These slidesand 16 mm footage were never found.

Only the photos sent to National Ge-ographic magazine and the potterypieces remain to document this mostmeaningful expedition.

be taking place in a 12th centurychapel,” came the invitation. I’d justfinished a two-hour interview withDavid Elkington on his new book, Inthe Name of the Gods about reso-nance, myth, and language.

We had been discussing how oftenour current views are limited by our re-liance on the scientific explanation.“Science would explain hearing soundsolely as the interception of soundwaves upon the ear, which activate thefilaments just inside the middle ear,which is turned into electrical stimuli,producing chemical signals, and experi-enced as noise,” he went on. “But thereare subtle aspects we overlook. I be-lieve that sound conveys much moredata than we consciously realize, thatwe pick this up on some level, and thatwe can interact directly with this infor-mation and energy.”

I’d spent the last twelve years ex-ploring what our ancient ancestorsknew about, and how they enhancedtheir experience of the subtler realms.This promised to be a new chapter inthat story.

“So we want to test this idea,” Davidcontinued, “to see if there is anythingabout the phenomenon of hearing thatgoes beyond those rational explana-tions.” So far, the results suggest thatthere are, that earth herself speaks di-rectly to us, and that we register this in-formation in symbol, form, language,and myth. To explore how some an-

Heknew he would have limited time inthe King’s chamber, and that he’d needa control to the experiments. So he firstconstructed a plywood box in his lab,in the exact dimensions of the granitesarcophagus, and rehearsed all the pro-cedures. He set a speaker inside theplywood box, stretched a PVC mem-brane over the top, and sprinkled onsome quartz sand. Then he fed in var-ious tones from an oscillator to seewhat patterns might emerge.

In a recent interview with Jeff Volk,who has kept cymatics in the publiceye for the past 20 years, he gave us aquick historical overview. “Two hun-dred years ago, German physicist ErnstChladni demonstrated how soundcould be rendered visible. He strewsand upon a steel plate and then,drawing a violin bow across the edgeof that plate, set the plate “singing”with quite an audible tone. The sandimmediately responded to this vibra-tion, creating a vast array of intricatepatterns on the plate, which changedin response to the frequency and ampli-tude of the tone. In the 1960s and’70's, a Swiss medical doctor, HansJenny, used electroacoustic devices tostudy these phenomena more pre-cisely. He coined the term cymatics,from the Greek, ‘kyma’, meaning wave,and documented over 14 years of hisextensive experiments in films and inhundreds of photographs. He em-ployed a number of materials and mo-dalities to demonstrate the formativepower of sound and vibration over Continued on Page 41

ments was not an invitation to pass up.Paul and I were soon on our way, ar-riving just in time for the October 27event coordinated by Clive and LindaGreenslade, David’s publishers, at asmall chapel dedicated to St. Catherine,in Abbottsbury, Dorset. One of the fewchapels of its day left intact, it escapedthe fate of so many churches that werereduced to ruins as King Henry theEighth forcibly removed Catholicismand installed a new, divorce-lenientChurch of England.

This chapel was spared as it sitsatop a hill overlooking the Atlantic,thus serving as an essential navigationallandmark for ocean-going vessels. Andfor David and John, its possible Tem-plar connections made it even more in-triguing a test site.

David, a former priest, and wellversed on the saints, could tell me justwho St. Catherine was. In the Christiantradition she was a supposedly fourthcentury saint who lived in Alexandria.She was a learned woman of the mys-teries, with connections to the Copticsaint, to Isis, and to the later heretics,the Cathars. She was martyred on a

Back at the hotel, John raninto David and shared his im-ages. They soon set abouttrying to explain such sur-prising and intriguing results.Says David, “I recognizedevery one of them as hiero-glyphs, and symbols of var-ious of the Egyptian gods as-sociated with the GreatPyramid. I feel that,somehow, the internal soundof the Pyramid was mani-festing in these most extraor-dinary patterns, and that an-cient observation of theinternal sounds of the pyr-amid brought about the for-mation of early language. Per-haps this is why mostmonumental architecture atthe outset of most of the an-cient civilizations was pyram-idal and most of the early languageswere hieroglyphic in form. John’stheory is that, via a process of ancientritual, the hieroglyphic sounds havebeen encoded into the sarcophagusand that this is what appeared whenhe did his experiments.”

Seeing Hidden PatternsAnd that got them both wondering:

If cymatics can reveal hidden patterns,special to that place, and their incorpo-ration into the local art and language,what about other chambers in otherplaces? What might be in their ownbackyard, full as England is, with tem-ples left by a people well versed inearth energies? They began the searchfor promising test sites.

And I had to ask, why would thematerials and the dimensions of an en-closure affect the way sound movesabout and vibrates, as revealed bythese cymatic tests?

John explains it thus: “Withoutbuilding an acoustic isolation enclo-sure around the sarcophagus, I am un-able to quantify how much influencethe acoustics of the chamber has onthe patterns I captured on film. How-ever, experience gained with my appa-ratus in a variety of locations hasshown that standing wave energy in agiven space can have a significant im-pact on the patterns which form. Thetype of stone employed also plays animportant part in the process. For ex-

osslyn Chapel sits just sixmiles south of Edinburgh,Scotland’s ancient capitalcity. Built in the fifteenthcentury by Earl William St.

Clair of Rosslyn, the chapel has be-come one of the most mysterious andcontroversial buildings on earth. Re-cent years have seen the controversyreach fever pitch as an adversarial bandof alternate-history researchers, freema-sonic “seekers of light,” and treasurehunters vie to unlock the secrets theyfeel are hidden within the chapel walls.

The stakes are highAt last tally, these intrepid questers

have variously speculated the chapelhides the Long-Lost Treasure of theKnights Templar, a piece of the “True”Cross, Scotland’s Stone of Destiny, themummified head of Christ, and eventhat Holy Grail of relics—the Holy Grailitself.

A world-class collection, no doubt—but none has yet been found. Rosslynkeeps its secrets well.

London businessman and St. Clairdescendant, Niven Sinclair, is fond ofsaying that William built RosslynChapel “at a time when books could beburned or banned, so he left a messagefor posterity chiseled out in stone.”Niven’s pet project, into which he hassunk a great deal of energy over theyears, is to prove that William’s grand-father made a voyage of discovery toAmerica almost a century before Chris-topher Columbus made the voyage thathistory has approved.

Niven also believes that Christ didnot die on the cross, but survived tosire children with his wife, Mary Mag-dalene. This marriage begat a bloodlinethat has flowed down the centuriesthrough several high and mighty Euro-pean families, including Niven’s own.But it is still the Biblical tale of Christ’sascension that wins the popular vote inthe credibility department, so Nivensoldiers on.

While the expression “carved instone” has become synonymous withthe “unchangeable,” that’s not the casewith Rosslyn. Some very significantchanges have been made within thechapel walls and then concealed.

Let’s take a lookThe interior greets the eye with

such a visual feast of carved stone thatone barely knows where to begin.Strange foliage and figures hang every-where about the walls, arches andceiling, like icing on a cake. And whilethe overall effect was clearly meant tobe Christian, closer inspection revealsthat many carvings have their symbolic

origins in quite different ideologies,some of them decidedly pagan.

Here and there you’ll find the headof a “Green Man,” an ancient Celticvegetation god, peering out fromwithin the carved foliage, and onRosslyn’s most celebrated structure,the “Prentice Pillar,” a daisy chain ofdragons nibble away at the roots ofwhat’s been interpreted as the Nordic“Tree of Life.” Add to the mix carvedtales from the Hebraic Old Testament,and legends that resonate with Templar

and Freemasonic lore, and you have anarchitectural recipe for perennial suc-cess. And except for a few dicey yearsduring the Reformation, when Protes-tant zealots took stern issue with whatthey called “idolatry,” the chapel’s beensuccessful ever since.

But while certain details have beenadded to the chapel over the years, it’sconsidered that the original language ofEarl William’s “book in stone” has re-mained unchanged. On my last trip toScotland, however, I found several

Where was Christ’s head andblessing when this “book in stone” wasbuilt, and why is it there now?

Two rows up from Christ’s head isthe “sun in splendour,” and one row upfrom the adjacent corner of the starvault is the emerging moon, describedin both accounts as a “crescent” moonand “small star.” Nowadays the moonappears to be full, complete with sur-face features that should not have beenobservable 159 years before Galileo’stelescope supposedly allowed him tolook twenty times closer than anyonehad before. What’s been carved intoRosslyn that the founder never in-tended?

Towards the east end of the chapelstand two pillars that together form thebasis for what has become Rosslyn’smost enduring legend—the murder ofan apprentice stonemason by hismaster. Legend has it that the mastermason, who had been on a junket toRome to study the form of a pillar hemeant to duplicate in Rosslyn, returnedto find that his apprentice, inspired bya dream, had finished the job beforehim, The master, in a fit of jealous rage,slew his apprentice with a single blowto the head.

While both pillars are glorious, thePrentice Pillar clearly outshines themaster’s.

Kerr’s report, while giving lip ser-vice to the Apprentice Legend, refers tothe Master’s Pillar as the Earl’s Pillar,and in John Slezer’s 1693 “TheatrumScotiae” the Prentice Pillar is called thePrince’s Pillar. A 1774 account byBishop Forbes of Caithness postulatesthat Slezer was referring to thefounder’s “princely origins” as lastPrince of Scotland’s Orkney Islands.

Confusing, I know.To add to that confusion, back

below the star vault is a carved headmuch studied by Freemasons. Traditionclaims it is the head of the slain appren-tice complete with fatal wound—a talethat resonates with the Freemasoniclegend of the death of Hiram Abiff, ar-chitect of Solomon’s Temple, who diedin similar fashion. It has been noticed,however, that the apprentice’s chinmay have once sported a beard thatwas subsequently chiseled off. Indeedstrange, considering apprentices didnot grow beards back then.

Master, apprentice, earl or prince—

bearded head with an open hand raisedalongside. Niven Sinclair has describedit as the head of Christ with his handraised in blessing of his ancestor’s pre-Columbian voyage of discovery. But ac-cording to an 1877 article, which ran inVolume XII of the Proceedings of theSociety of Antiquaries in Scotland,Mark Kerr describes this feature assimply “an open hand,” and his observa-tion is corroborated in an 1892 accountwritten by the Rev. John Thompson,Rosslyn’s chaplain.

Let’s walk to the center of thechapel and look up.

Rosslyn’s great barrel-vaulted ceilingis divided into five courses. Fourcourses have a floral theme, each withits exclusive tile, which repeats, incookie-cutter fashion, over its entirecourse. But the fifth course is differentfrom the others. Instead of flowers, it isfull of stars—and other things!

he mystery in the Alvorddesert hit TV newcasts yearsago, but the story behind itcontains ideas whose timemay have come. Since an-

cient times, art has been a doorway toother levels of life. Could art now as-sist us toward a more harmoniouslevel? The untold story sparks suchquestions.

An Air National Guard reconnais-sance pilot flying over a remote part ofthe southeast-Oregon desert in Sep-tember of 1990 spotted a huge, per-fectly made geometric design on anold lake bed. Experts identified it as aSri Yantra, symbol for the motherspirit of nature, venerated in India.This was the first time it had beendrawn at a scale of nearly one-quarter-mile across. A closer look showed notire tracks or footprints, so some excit-edly claimed that aliens made it. News-papers from coast to coast carriedaerial photos, and television stationsbeamed it to the world.

When the hubbub forced artist BillWitherspoon of Iowa to come forwardand set the record straight, he wasmet with disbelief. He claimed that heand a few friends carved the design onthe salt flat with a man-pulled plow!An architectural expert said that wasimpossible; it would have required so-phisticated surveying equipment andcost at least $100,000. Regardless, agovernment bureau fined Bill $100 forunauthorized use of public land. Otherangry voices accused him of culturalappropriation, defacing the environ-ment or hoaxing a crop-circle. What’sthe true story of why the artists toiledin scorching heat?

the artist as a joyful witness to nature’sformative forces.

The year before the Sri Yantra, helived in his studio/bus on the highdesert of Oregon while painting. Oneday he sketched an intriguing geo-metric form. Instead of inserting it intoa painting, he impulsively gatheredsmall rocks from the desert floor tobuild his design on the ground sur-rounding his bus. He tied ropes andtwine for measuring, plotted direc-tions in harmony with the sun’s pas-sage, and placed rock cairns in exactlines among the sagebrush. The sym-metrical form was about sixty yardsacross. Even though its totality was notvisible in the bushes, Bill felt a subtledifference when inside it. The ener-getic effect was especially strong in itscenter, where he meditated daily.

To his surprise, over the next fewmonths several hundred wild creatureswere attracted into the rock boun-daries. This contrasted with the pre-vious year, when for six months heonly saw a few kangaroo rats andbirds. Now golden foxes slept by hisdoor in the afternoon. Owls and rab-bits hopped around unconcernedabout each other. Water ouzels ap-peared, far from their habitat. Twentyor more jack rabbits at a time walkedupright in the confines of the rocklines, and antelope strolled into campto look at Bill. He wondered howmuch of this unusual behavior was dueto the scarcely visible rock pattern andhow much to the presence of humanconsciousness at its center.

When he returned to the Midwestwith a load of small rocks, he mountedthem in concrete columns in an art gal-lery and added chalk lines, for a three-dimensional replica of his desert de-sign. Visiting school children piledinto the center of the design althoughthere was more sitting space outsideit. Adults lingered and commented thatthe place felt good. Bill researched tra-ditional designs and found one nearlyidentical to his. An obscure Sanskrittext, the Vastu Sutra Upanishad, saidthe design was to be put on stoneblocks as a guide before carving sacredimages, so the finished image would“be attractive to consciousness” (ofthe deity).

A friend asked Bill to make a SriYantra. After months of library re-search and speaking with people fromits spiritual tradition, Bill made onewith gold and transparent pigments. InIndia the design was described as an“occurrence,” rather than symbol, ofthe deepest laws and forces of natureor Mother Divine. This fit with Bill’s

TArt teacher Mark Paul Petrick wrote

in the Fairfield, Iowa, newspaper thatthe group didn’t seek publicity butwanted to find out if the ancientsymbol would enliven local laws of na-ture in some perceptible way.

Apparently it did. The next year BillWitherspoon and friends created largerland art—half-mile-across, then the fol-lowing year a singing-wire design with1,111 salvaged pine poles, followed bygeometrical forest-planting, agriculturalexperiments and saving a town’s greenspace from developers. Conclusionsfrom these experiments relate totoday’s consciousness studies and evento an anti-corporatization activist’s com-bining of spirals and intent to empowerprotesters. (Starhawk writes about acti-vism and earth-based spirituality inWebs of Power, New Society Pub-lishers, 2002.)

Bill’s interest is in new science,rather than magic. I first met him in1997 at a gathering in Los Angeles,where he spoke passionately about theweb of nature and its underpinnings ina deeper reality. He has a calm intensityand ability to juggle varied projects. Billearlier co-founded Westbridge Re-search Group, a biotechnology com-pany that develops nontoxic productsfor agriculture. Later he tackled the haz-ards of genetically modified foods, trav-eled the world on that mission andnow is back to exploring art-as-technology.

Bill had long been attuned to thedeep silence of desert landscapes. Forinstance as a young man he spentmonths alone painting watercolors ofclouds as they formed high over an es-carpment that rose 5,000 feet abovethe desert floor. It involved the physicsof paper, water flow and pigments, and

true at Izapa in Chiapas, Mexico. “Thisis the site that gives us the 2012 cal-endar,” says Jenkins. “Here, the Mayanwisdom about what the 2012 align-ment means for us is encoded into themonumental sculpture!” Three ceremo-nial monument groups at Izapa containthe “legacy” to our time in terms of un-derstanding the galactic cosmology ofthe ancient Maya. Jenkins decodes theball court group at Izapa as “groundzero of this knowledge, and there isplenty there to help us understandwhat we, today, are fated to livethrough. The encoded message of theball court is a testimony to the bril-liance of the ancient Izapanskywatchers.”

A Vision QuestJenkins recalls that as a child he was

fascinated by gadgets and science. “Iwould take things apart and—sometimes—put them back together.Thomas Edison was my hero.” By highschool, Jenkins says he had exhaustedscience as an avenue of self-knowledgeand began reading philosophy. “Andthat,” he says confidently, “led toEastern mysticism. This opened up aGnostic path for me, a path of innerknowing, and I began yoga and medita-tion practice. I studied Tibetan mysti-cism, practiced celibacy, and wrote de-votional poetry. I was trying to grow

spiritually and free myself from the sub-urban nightmare of materialism thatsurrounded me.” By the time Jenkinsreached twenty, that which wasbuilding within him was hard to con-tain. “An inner spiritual crisis waswelling up inside me, and I embarkedon a pilgrimage that took me aroundthe southeast United States. My ‘mobilehermitage’ was a 1969 Dodge van thatI lived in for seven months. As my pil-grimage reached a crescendo, I medi-tated, chanted, and fasted, in locationsalong the Gulf Coast or in Forest Ser-vice campgrounds in the Florida pan-handle.” Jenkins wrote of this period inhis 1991 book, Mirror in the Sky,which had limited distribution. “So thisis the first time I have publicly sharedthis aspect of my past,” he says.

“The pilgrimage spontaneously cul-minated in a three-day vigil, crying fora vision, chanting and praying. It was acrisis of connection with a higherguiding force that I yearned to serve. Inthe early pre-dawn hours on the cuspof Pisces I had a mystical vision of theboon-bestowing goddess Govinda, whoI also call the Earth Guardian.” Jenkinsshares that the experience was at-tended by what is called, in yoga, akundalini rising. “So, it wasn’t ‘just’ adream or vision, as it was attended by

stellations Sagittarius and Scorpio. TheMaya thought of the Galactic Center asthe ever-renewing womb of the GreatMother, and targeted the alignmentwith the end-date of their calendar.

Jenkins’ approach is to skillfullycross-pollinate the discoveries of ar-chaeo-astronomy, iconography, andethnography, blending them into aprofoundly coherent synthesis. Thishas enabled him to revive a fragmentedworldview that he calls “multidimen-sional.” He isn’t interested in inventinga new system, but in reviving the oldone, one that because of its galacticfocus is advanced in ways that modernscience can barely appreciate. By ac-cessing the myths, symbols, texts, andvoices of the Primordial Tradition, Jen-kins says “it is clear that the PrimordialTradition is galactic in nature—the Ga-lactic Center is its orientational locusand is the transcendental source of thewisdom it encodes, which now ap-pears ready to make a dramatic appear-ance on the stage of human history…like a lost Atlantean dimension of thehuman soul.”

Because the astronomical mappinglaid out in Jenkins’ recent books plugsso meaningfully into the sockets of thealignments and geodetics of so manysacred sites, the esoteric Hermeticdictum of “As Above, So Below” isnow revealed fact. This is particularly

ASTROLOGY

BY JULIE GILLENTINE

Uranus, the AwakenerUranus is visible to the un-

aided eye only under excep-tionally clear conditionswhen the planet is opposedto the Sun and appears as afaint star. Uranus has asystem of faint rings whichwere discovered in 1977 byan earth-based telescope. Notmuch else was known untilVoyager 2 cruised by in1986, revealing additionalrings and ten more moons.

Modern planets could notbe perceived without the aidof technology. Uranus wasthe first to be recognized,and astrologically this planetis said to have a direct rela-tionship with science.Uranus was officially discov-ered on March 13, 1781 byWilliam Herschel, a musicianwho took up astronomy as ahobby. Later it was realizedthat Uranus had been seenand recorded at least twentytimes between 1690 and1781.

The French astronomerPierre Lemonnier (1715-1799), couldn’t conceivethat the faint trace of light hesaw was significant enoughto disturb a comfortable cos-mological scheme. The pres-ence of Uranus in the solarsystem upset a long-standingbalance of seven sacredplanets. Uranus, character-istic to its now-familiar astro-logical nature, became an un-settling eighth.

Uranus is twice the dis-tance from the Sun as Saturn,so its acknowledgment as aplanet vastly increased thesize of the solar system andextended the frontiers of sci-ence. Astrologers considerthat humanity’s development

had to reach a certain stage where wecould conceive of the revolutionaryand radical increase in knowledge her-alded by this upsetting interloper.

For more than a hundred yearsUranus was called “Herschel” after itsdiscoverer, but the power of myth isstrong. Uranus was the father ofSaturn, grandfather to Jupiter andgreat-grandfather to Mars, so his propername was suggested and accepted byJohann Bode (of Bode’s law fame).

Uranus, along with Jupiter and Nep-tune, is one of the three gas giants andis four times larger than Earth. Uranustakes eighty-four years to make one cir-

President of the United States is rattlingsabers on several fronts and troops arebeing sent to Iraq.

The internet has grown exponen-tially in a decade to become a globalvoice and disseminator of information.Television has become a forum for lib-erating views expressed on Oprah andother programs which offer communi-cations from departed loved ones.Anyone is now a candidate for a mir-acle, an angelic visitation or near-deathexperience. Our consciousness andworldview is being widened in prepar-ation for the next cycle.

“To know the thoughtsand deeds that have markedman’s progress is to feel thegreat heart-throbs of hu-manity through the centu-ries; and if one does not feelin these pulsations a heaven-ward striving, one must in-deed be deaf to the harmo-nies of life.”

Helen Keller

n March 10 of2003 the planetUranus willenter Pisces, thetwelfth sign of

the zodiac. For the last sevenyears Uranus passed throughits own sign Aquarius,bringing a proliferation of theWorld-Wide Web. In 2011Uranus will move into Aries,beginning a new eighty-four-year cycle. Uranus last en-tered the sign of Aries inMarch of 1927. At that timeradio, television, and remark-able advances in psychologyoccurred, but we also wit-nessed the rise of AdolphHitler, the collapse of thestock market and building en-ergy for World War II.

Then and NowPlanetary energies do not

directly cause events; ratherthey create conditions whichare conducive to certainkinds of choices. In 1836,when Uranus entered Pisces,the Communist League wasfounded in Paris, and in 1848when Uranus moved toAries, the Communist Mani-festo exploded into print andouter awareness. During the1836 transit the Chinesefought the Opium war,Emerson began publishingNature, and the first kinder-garten came into existence. In 1920,the last time Uranus entered Pisces,Prohibition began in America. On thesame day America embraced Prohibi-tion, the Senate voted against joiningthe League of Nations. Both choicesled to difficulty and regret.

As Uranus once again moves into Pi-sces in March, the Homeland SecurityAct, with far-reaching potential effectsfor American civil liberties, has ad-vanced to the Washington scene withamazing speed. As this article is writtenthere are gathering echoes of war. The

any Pisces worth his salt will walk amile over broken glass to have his feel-ings hurt. What aspect of mystical Pi-sces will Uranus awaken?

The highest expression of the com-bined principles of Uranus and Piscescan awaken compassion and destroymateriality. The most positive view ofthis combination is a breaking up ofold and outworn thought patterns,making way for intuitive wisdom andunderstanding. As a result a collectiveshift to a more spiritual world view canemerge. Uranus in Pisces can engendera passion to know the truth at a deeplyspiritual level, creating a willingness tosacrifice everything for the sake of thisknowledge.

The negative side of Uranus in Pi-sces brings a disillusioning belief thatthe ideals of Uranus in Aquarius did notrise to meet the expectations. It be-comes more difficult to focus the will,and tests and challenges arise from un-resolved subconscious difficulties.

Tests and TrialsChildren born during this transit are

likely to be more psychic and intuitiveand to automatically tune into thethoughts and feelings of others. Theymay have the innate capacity to “read”other’s minds, startling those of earlier

cuit around the Sun, so its “year” iseighty-four times that of Earth. By com-parison, Uranus rotates very quickly onits axis, making one rotation in justunder seventeen hours, so its day isseven hours shorter than Earth’s.Uranus has twenty known moons aswell as nine faint rings. Uranus rotatesalmost on its “side.” This seems apt forthe independent and trail-blazing rulerof Aquarius. The axis of rotation liesnearly in the plane of its orbit, ratherthan perpendicular. Because of thestrange tilt, one hemisphere can facethe Sun for years at a time, leaving theother in perpetual darkness.

The mythical castration of Uranusby his son Saturn may have an astro-nomical origin. Astronomers speculatethat a catastrophic collision with alarge body may have upset the planet,tilting it onto its present axis, and atthe same time ejecting gas and debristhat coalesced and formed Uranus’smoons. Remnants of this collision mayalso remain as Saturn’s dramatic ringsystem.

Isabel Hickey, author of SpiritualAstrology, said, “Uranus is the forcewhich beckons us to the discovery ofthe undiscovered. ”Uranus is said torule astrology itself and to representoccult knowledge since it is hiddenfrom the domain of Mercury’s ordinaryawareness. Astrologer Rob Hand has

remarked that “Uranus represents therandom element of mutation that is nec-essary for creative innovation.” As a re-sult astrologers associate Uranus withscience and inventions such as televi-sion and radio. Uranus also governs therealm of psychology and metaphysics,calling us to explore unseen knowl-edge.

Pisces, the FishesPisces is one of the constellations in

the “watery” portion of the sky whichincludes Aquarius, the Water Bearer,Cetus, the Whale, and Pisces Austrinus,the Southern Fishes. This group of starshas been associated with fish in all an-cient cultures. Greek myth consideredthe stars of Pisces to represent Heroesand Aphrodite, who changed them-selves into fish, plunging into the Eu-phrates River to escape the giant mon-ster Typhon. In Piscean star lore, for along time, there was only one fish.

Astrologically, Pisces is the twelfthand final zodiac sign and therefore rep-resents the final stage in the hero’sjourney and the last phase of theevolving human on the path of return.This final stage is the transcendence ofthe self or ego-based personality. Pi-sces is the most fluid and the most sen-sitive of the signs. Piscean sensitivitycan result in self-inflicted martyrdom. Acolleague, himself a Pisces, says that

MEGALITHS, ATLANTIS AND THEPOWER SYSTEM OF THE GODSDavid Hatcher Childress

This is a video of the Childress’ lec-ture and slide show at a Nexus confer-ence hosted by Nexus Magazine ed-itor Duncan Roads. The jacket datesthe conference in 2003, in Sydney,Australia. Childress’ freewheelingpresentation is both fascinating andtroubling. It’s fascinating because Chil-dress strings together so many inter-esting anomalies pointing toward theexistence of an ancient advanced civil-ization. But it’s troubling becausemuch of his evidence seems to havebeen included without considerationas to whether it holds up, whether itgenuinely supports his premise thatthe ancients were in possession of agreat power system, one that he likensto Tesla’s wireless generation system.As interesting as the video proves it-self to be, the title seems to have beenarrived at after the fact. Childress isnot so much making a case for a“Power system of the Gods” as tellingus everything he knows, and believes,about an alternate theory of history,archeology, Atlantis, Mu, etc. Chil-dress’ style is to link together thingsthat seem to be associated with oneanother, obelisks and Tesla generatingsystems, for instance: Egypt had obe-lisks. Egyptian origins may have de-rived from a lost continent called At-lantis, therefore Tesla’s obelisk-liketowers remind us of the lore sur-rounding Atlantis in which huge crys-tals upon towers powered, then sunk,the island continent. While inter-esting, this amounts to more of ascreenplay than a substantial case.

are loosely connected, and the benefitof the doubt always given to his ownposition (the site off Japan, for in-stance, which Graham Hancock con-cludes is naturally formed, Childress au-tomatically accepts as man-made),there are nonetheless a lot of dots.When drawn together as a whole, thecritical mass of the pattern resemblessomething amazing.

EMERGING VIRUSES: AIDS, EBOLAAND VACCINATIONSDr. Len Horowitz

Harvard University graduate Horo-witz passionately argues that certainpernicious viruses were man-made atthe behest of the United States govern-ment and Henry Kissinger in particular.Citing a 1970 document, Horowitzbrings us up to speed on what he sayswas a conspiracy to engineer strains ofimmune-suppressing biotechnologyand cancers that were systematicallydeveloped through a government initia-tive that used pharmaceutical compa-nies and even the National Cancer Insti-tute to make deadly viruses.

While admitting nobody wants tobelieve him, Horowitz makes a detailedcase, producing copies of documentsand copious circumstantial evidencethat tends to raise the hairs on the backof one’s neck. Infection through vacci-nations are commonplace, Horowitz in-sists, but protected because of thepower of the pharmaceutical compa-nies. While several of Horowitz’s asser-tions might better be taken with agrain of salt, his video leaves a viewerwith the impression that he knowswhat he’s talking about, and the newsis grim.

The production, videotaped beforea 1997 audience, presents the fruit ofHorowitz’ three-year investigation intothe origins of some deadly microscopicnasties. With recent revelations aboutprobable U.S. involvement in Iraq’sgerm and biochemical warfare capabil-ities, the video has an eerie ring to it.Reading Horowitz’s book, whichshares the video’s title, he says, willprovide the necessary documentation;and he tells us that the book’s fore-word was written by an expert in thefield who was once close to the majorculprit in this sad affair, Dr. RobertGallo, a man investigated four times forscientific misconduct or fraud and then

bar too high. Perhaps we need to beginwith Childress’ childlike wonder anddedication to his vision of the ancientpast in order to begin to grasp just howwondrous the ancient world may havebeen. If that’s the case, Childress givesus much food for thought.

Childress speaks of vimanas, the air-craft written about in texts found in aRoyal British library in 1908 that de-scribe in detail the workings of ancientaeronautical technology. Childress hasspoken and written about vimanas be-fore. So doing, he provides a service, inthat such a proposition, or perhaps theancient text itself, needs to be dissemi-nated and assiduously examined so thatwe can determine if vimanas really didexist. The texts are old, but not ex-tremely old, dating back a couple thou-sand years, we are informed, and basedupon other older texts, the disappear-ance of which Childress glosses overwith talk about the library at Alexan-dria having been burned. To know ifthey are valid, we need to know moreabout these texts, their authors, and ifthey are supported by other historicaltraditions or writings. If vimanas didexist, powered by a centralized Atlan-tean technology (a la Tesla), then theancient world was indeed a marvelousplace. Egypt may have inherited theremnants of that civilization and pro-liferated its architecture and culturearound the globe. And so Childress, inthis 90-minute video, gives us an over-view of many of the reasons we shouldsuspect that an ancient world has risenand then fallen into oblivion. It was aworldwide, technologically advancedcivilization, at least that’s what Chil-dress’ clues lead us to believe.

One fascinating tidbit that Childressoffers, one that seems worth our whilebecause it was looked into by a Smith-sonian scholar and written about bythe Phoenix Gazette, is the idea that acavern exists in the Grand Canyon thatwas once filled with Egyptian andHindu artifacts. Childress tells us that“early explorers” gave Egyptian namesto various Grand Canyon locales. Butlike the Ark of the Covenant in Spiel-berg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, the evi-dence may have been warehousedsomewhere, closeted away, because itdoesn’t support the popular trance, re-garding prehistory, induced by aca-demia. Finally, we are presented withthird party sources (the Smithsonian re-searcher and the Phoenix Gazette).But we are led quickly onto the nextsegment in this production.

spoke to him, out loud, in the Libraryof Congress, directing him to specificdocuments. That’s right, he hears avoice from above, proceeds as di-rected, then finds exactly what he’slooking for. Who are we to say? It’s notclear just how these viruses got intothe general public, but Horowitz be-lieves that high incidence of infectionhave been concentrated near researchfacilities, both in the U.S. and in Africa.He also portrays the bad guys as havingused mentally retarded children at acertain New York-state facility to growthe virus, a process he explains in de-tail as attempted previously using catsand monkeys. Horowitz even con-fronted the main architect of this dia-bolical scheme, Dr. Robert Gallo, whohe says eventually suggested to himthat these genetically mutated virusescould have been spread accidentally,an admission of sorts.

These horrible viruses were dissemi-nated for research purposes to 500 labsacross the globe, Horowitz says,through principal distributors, namelythe National Cancer Institute in Be-thesda and the Center for Disease Con-trol in Atlanta, characterized here as

pardoned by Bill Clinton.Such circumstantial connec-

tions abound in Horowitz’s sce-nario, producing ooohs andaaaahs from the audience andlending some credibility to his al-ready fact-filled presentation. Hethrows in a few conspiracy theoryallusions for good measure, impli-cating the World Health Organiza-tion as “Rockefeller funded,” butthis in itself doesn’t mean much,in that much of the institutionalworld is Rockefeller funded. Sodoing, he tips his hand that he’san out-and-out conspiracy theo-rist, along with a suggestion thatMerck, Sharpe and Dome shouldbe associated with Hitler’s ThirdReich through the I.G. Farbincompany. Assuming that that wasonce true in some way, thematter would have no relevancetoday. But if Horowitz’s docu-ments are as real as he says theyare, then there’s probably a fairamount of fire behind his smoke,in this case a deadly smoke thatwould have infected and killedmillions of people.

disease facilitators rather than diseasefighters. If that weren’t bad enough(we don’t have to believe all of it,though), Horowitz tells us that certainmodern diseases, many of which suspi-ciously burst onto the scene in thesame year, have been spread throughroutine vaccinations. Various diseasesthat Horowitz says are man-made weregrown in already “environmentally con-taminated” lab animals, Rhesus mon-keys and chimpanzees. A viral mish-mash was then inoculatedinto gay men in New YorkCity and blacks in central Af-rica. Blood was extractedfrom those who lived, ashuman incubation chambers,from which Hepatitis B vac-cines were made.

UFOs: HARD EVIDENCEA six-video set

This set might more aptlybe described as UFOs, themini series. Produced in con-junction with UFO Maga-zine, this lengthy productionwaddles through reams ofUFO testimony and evidencefrom the British perspective.We even get the Vatican’sMonsignor Carrado Bal-ducci’s take on UFOs, the ex-istence of which he seemscomfortable with, as long aswe realize that Jesus is God.Other notable intervieweesinclude former astronautEdgar Mitchell, a B-2 Pilotand Whitley Strieber. While much ofthe evidence in not actually “hard” inthe literal sense, but anecdotal, we aretreated to an account of an allegedalien implant being surgically removedfrom an abductee. Some of the genu-inely hard, though not conclusive, evi-dence includes footage of suspiciousglowing spheres hovering around theMir space station. We don’t know whatthese spheres are, but in the context ofUFO investigations we sure would liketo know.

The videos are filled with a variety

of tantalizing bits of evidence, a greatmany interviews, and a lot of informa-tion that is hardly relevant to UFOs. Forsome reason, the producers generouslyprovide us with instructions in how tooperate a video camera and go into de-tail in interviews about such minutiaeas the model of car a Roswell photogra-pher was driving, not to mention hislife aspirations at the time. Answers toquestions are included that would havebeen best left out, meaningless re-sponses, and then all the time spent onmeteor crater, and the B-2 Bomber, as

if an endless amount of time were athand to view this stuff—lending credi-bility to the charge that, just maybe,UFO aficionados have too much timeon their hands. Or maybe the pro-ducers never heard of pacing or ed-iting. In this respect the videos disap-point, but just as your eyes are glazingover, something weird and fascinatingturns up on the screen, as if you had topay the price of your own time to getthere.

BY ROBERT J. RESETAR

could hear the rain quietly trick-ling down the tin drainpipe out-side my bedroom window thatmorning. The sound of rain al-ways made me want to stay in

bed a little while longer. Half in adream, music from my clock radiobegan playing softly as a perfect accom-paniment for a rainy day. It was musicunlike any I had heard before. The yearwas 1966. I was 12 years old and it wasone of those moments that are foreveretched in your memory because themusic takes you there. The song was ATaste of by Herb Alpert & the TijuanaBrass.

In the years to follow, Herb Alpert& his band would become my musicalinspiration whenever my spiritsneeded lifting.

Throughout the ’60's, the TJB (asthey came to be called) broke allrecords in the music industry by havingfour albums in the top ten, simultane-ously. Something which, to this day, noother musical artist or group has everdone, not even the Beatles or Elvis.They had eleven Gold Albums, five #1hits, several Emmy-nominated TV spe-cials, television and movie theme songsand much more.

All this happened in the midst of aturbulent decade, fraught with war, as-sassination, an emerging drug cultureand popular music that largely re-flected those disturbing times. No onewould have predicted that a jazzed up,Mariachi band would become one ofthe most popular ensembles of thedecade.

The TJB just clicked.It was one of those “once in a life-

time” musical groups where the magicjust happened. Kids loved them, oldtimers loved them, and they prettymuch sold out concerts wherever theywent.

The financial success of the TijuanaBrass allowed Herb Alpert and hispartner, Jerry Moss, to form A&Mrecords which went on to presentequally impressive artists like SergioMendes and Brasil ‘66 and Burt Bacha-rach. Few recording companies beforeor since have had the vision or the‘guts’ to take a chance on “out-of-the-

display his art at shows around theworld.

Definitive Hits is the most recentand perhaps final memento of Herb’smusical career. It features pristine ver-sions of his most memorable hits fromThe Lonely Bull and a Taste of Honeyto Rise. Since the selections are pri-marily “hits,” most of them are alreadyavailable on previous collections. Sur-prisingly, however, the majority of TJBrecordings are still not available on CD.I always hoped that A&M would releasea boxed set of the “complete” TijuanaBrass, but for now, that doesn’t seemto be in their plans.

The legacy of Herb Alpert is notbeing heard by the generations oftoday. You almost never hear his musicon ‘Oldies’ radio stations. Perhaps be-cause his is a sound that cannot beeasily categorized by the music in-dustry. It’s not rock, it’s not jazz, it’snot really Latin, so what IS it? ...It’s“unique.” And great artists are knownbecause of their uniqueness. In a 1989interview, jazz great, Miles Davis, gaveHerb Alpert the definitive complimentby saying: “You hear three notes andyou know it’s Herb Alpert.”

The thing ‘I’ like most about Herb’strumpet sound is that it doesn’t hit youover the head. Its power is in the ex-pressive nuances that are unlikeanyone else’s. The creative arrange-ments, ‘tight’ ensemble performancesand a light-hearted spirit gave the Tij-uana Brass its universal appeal. And‘that’ deserves to live on.

mainstream” artists. Even among hisown employees, Herb was ‘whisperedabout’ and thought to be ‘crazy’ for in-vesting money and recording commit-ments on a ‘cutesy’ brother & sister actthat no self-proclaimed hipster of the’70s would be caught dead listening to,Richard & Karen Carpenter. Of course,after they became legends and the pri-mary source of income for A&Mrecords in the ’70s the back-stabbingstopped.

By the early ’70s the Tijuana Brassera was fading. Herb went on to releaseseveral recordings on his own in thepost-TJB years, but with only mild suc-cess. With the exception of the hit,Rise in 1979.

In the late ’80s he organized the lastreunion tour with the remaining mem-bers of the TJB which I was privilegedto attend through the kindness of hisguitarist, John Pisano, whom I had metwhile doing studio work in L.A.

Although the concert was impec-cable and the crowds loved hearing allthe original Tijuana Brass hits, the re-ception to Herb’s newer material waslukewarm. And personally, I agreedwith the crowds. Something wasmissing in his new releases. To “my”ears... the magic never really cameback. Guitarist, John Pisano, who hadonce been Herb’s closest musicianpartner and friend, seemed disap-pointed too, because Herb’s musicaltastes had changed.

Having sold A&M records, Herb Al-pert is now officially retired from themusic business. These days, he spendshis creative energies painting,sculpting, and traveling with his wife,Lani (former lead singer of Brasil ‘66) to

EUGENE MALLOVE

Continued from Page 17tive complementary medical ap-proaches have long suggested. “Qi” en-ergy is not just some “New Age” term;it’s for real, and its physics can increas-ingly be understood qualitatively andquantitatively.

Now for “cold fusion,” the indisput-ably verified—and most widely vali-dated of the emerging free energy tech-nologies. The field is more properlyreferred to as LENR—Low Energy Nu-clear Reactions. In effect, the sciencehas become modern alchemy! Thetransmutation of heavy elements isshown to occur with remarkable easein certain systems. Though LENR tech-nological energy devices appeared tobe imminent in the mid-1990s, variousmaterials problems with thin-filmmetal coatings in electrochemical cellsproduced a severe setback. Now newgas-type cells are showing muchgreater promise. Furthermore, the off-shoot from cold fusion launched by Dr.Randell Mills in 1991, a kind of new hy-drogen physics revision of modernquantum mechanics, appears to beblossoming at the well-funded Black-Light Power Corporation in NewJersey (see www.blacklightpower.com). Dr. Mills and his colleagueshave just had an article published bythe American Journal of Physics (De-cember 2002)—a sign of the establish-ment cracking, perhaps?

The year 2003 could be a greatturning point for LENR, because coldfusion will, indeed, “return to MIT,”my alma mater, which has rightly beencalled the “bastion of skepticism”against cold fusion. MIT is usually onlytoo happy to lend its official imprintand sponsorship to conferences onsubjects of scientific and technologicalimportance. But on August 24-29,2003, when the Tenth InternationalConference on Cold Fusion (ICCF10)meets in Cambridge, Massachusetts, itwill not be at MIT. Instead, cold fusionscientists will convene a few blocksaway from MIT at the Royal SonestaHotel. They will come from Canada,China, France, Germany, India, Israel,Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, the U.K.,the United States, and elsewhere—astruggling, highly underfunded com-munity of researchers. Will MIT Presi-dent Charles Vest or any other high-level MIT dignitary be there to wel-come the participants? Not a chance.The organizing chairman of ICCF10,who will greet the attendees, is MITAssociate Professor of Electrical Engi-neering and Computer Science, PeterL. Hagelstein, who in April 1989 be-came one of the earliest proponents ofcoherent metal lattice dynamics theo-

ries as the underlying genericmechanism for cold fusionphenomena. That academic“impropriety” has earned Ha-gelstein no honors at MIT—quite the contrary.

We are now almost 14years into the cold fusion con-troversy, which began withthe March 23, 1989 announce-ment by Drs. Fleischmann andPons at the University of Utah.The more things change, themore they stay the same: Lessthan twelve hours after the1989 cold fusion announce-ment, the Exxon Valdez (re-cently de-commissioned forscrap in 2002!) had run aground andspilled millions of gallons of oil into thepristine waters off Alaska. In No-vember 2002, another oil tanker hasspilled a few million more gallons, offthe coast of Spain; it has sunk to theocean floor and will likely continue toexude oil for years. Had the scientificprocess gone they way it should have,cold fusion by now might have begunto end oil spills forever, as the horrorsof the Fossil Fuel Age receded.

On April 14, 1989 during the heightof the cold fusion furor, Professor Ha-gelstein gave a talk on cold fusiontheory at MIT to a packed, closed-doormeeting of a few hundred faculty andstaff who hung on and debated hisevery word. On November 4, 2002, Ha-gelstein gave an open-door cold fusionseminar in the very same room at MIT,this one under the auspices of his de-partment’s Research Laboratory forElectronics (RLE). The talk in the oak-paneled Grier room was, indeed,smallish, not well attended. About tenof those present were the “converted”already—myself, other MIT graduatesDr. Mitchell Swartz and Dr. BrianAhern, retired MIT Prof. KeithJohnson, Dr. Graham Hubler from theNaval Research Laboratory, and a fewothers. The others were mostly stu-dents. There were only a few professo-rial-looking people there. None of thebitter enemies of cold fusion came—thesubject has been so killed off, in theirview I’m sure, that there was no needto show up.

A most important MIT person wasat the meeting—MIT Prof. MildredDresselhaus, who during the last yearor so of the Clinton Administrationheaded the US DoE Office of EnergyScience. She had signed the negativeDoE report in 1989, but has beenfriendly with Prof. Hagelstein for manyyears, and to her credit has continuedto be interested in cold fusion. Butduring her brief stint at DoE, Dressel-haus evidently didn’t pull any stringsfor greater openness toward cold fu-sion either at DoE or at MIT, though

she could have. This is cowardice,plain and simple. She failed to stand upfor what she evidently can see is some-thing that obviously needs a secondchance—an official re-evaluation.Today, with no help from Dresselhaus,a handful of cold fusioneers in officialand semi-official positions are engagedin an effort, likely to be futile, to bringabout a $10 million cold fusion rebel-lion from within DoE! Hope springseternal among the desperate. But Iwish the rebels well and, other thanthese remarks, I won’t “blow theircover.” Most likely, a cold fusion Ren-aissance will come from privatesources of funding. In fact, for this andother reasons, in late 2002 we formedthe non-profit New Energy Foundation,Inc. in New Hampshire (IRS 501c3 tax-deductible status applied for), to raisedesperately needed research funds forquality pioneering R&D in the NewEnergy field.

After almost 14 years in the Cold Fu-sion War, I’ve personally had quiteenough of the Establishment’s shenani-gans. We spend billions and billions ofdollars on all manner of dead-end pro-jects, and this “little project” of cold fu-sion—with potentially huge conse-quences—is given nothing at all. In fact,it is kicked down endlessly by paidthugs—the hot fusioneers and the well-funded “theory-of-everything” high en-ergy physicists. Now cold fusion issimply dead, as far as the academicgangsters are concerned.

Does the world want free energybadly enough to find some way to payfor this research? If most governmentswon’t fund it, will entrepreneurs andventure capitalists? Not many of thelatter have stepped forward. And if ven-ture capitalists won’t fund LENR oraether energy, who will? Will people ofgenerous spirit consider donating tax-deductibly with targeted contributionsfor this research through the mecha-nism of a charitable foundation(www.infinite-energy.com)? One canhope. The grand experiment has begunin a possible turning-point year.

Thus, not only are the above-groundstructures contained in this “newzone,” but also the vast undergroundstructures yet to be uncovered. The ex-tent of the walls clearly shows the de-tailed consideration of civil engineersand hydrological experts.

The psychological reality of guardsstationed as sentries at intervals alongthe entire wall carries the intrigue of amajor ‘Stargate’ film set, designed forthe few experts who are to find an un-derground sphinx or obelisk, or a con-nection between Osiris and the constel-lation of Orion, rather than an open-door feature for thousands of well-behaved international students of his-tory and archaeology who have neverneeded to be extensively controlled.

As of this writing one can no longerreach the important archaeologicalareas of the sacred Apis bull tombs atSaqqara or the small pyramids and ar-chaeological work of the German teamat Abu Sir by camel without goingthrough the official entrance area, evenby traveling some 35 kilometers (21.5miles) around the Wall in the Libyandesert. One needs to either go all theway out into the desert and around thenewly completed Wall sections to getto Saqqara (17 km, 10.5 miles south ofGiza) or take the major public roadwayto the east. This suggests a plan of amuch larger and longer Wall complexdividing the major sites into sections.

Thus, the eastern side of the Wallstarts close to the location of the‘Sound and Light Show,’ and runs pastthe workmen’s tomb area, that is, theclaimed settlement of pyramidalbuilders that has been the subject ofgreat investigation by Dr. Mark Lehnerwith his team from Harvard Universityand other specialists. This Wall snakesand turns slightly eastward for addi-tional kilometers until it meets with an-other South wall, at which point a

second walls runs directly South. Thatis, the north-south wall turns slightly,with one spoke of the Wall runningpast Abu Sir and another Wall contin-uing on, turning directly south againwhere it drops down for an additional25 kilometers (15 miles) across surfacedesert waste and southern villages par-allel to the military area. In addition,coming at a 90-degree angle to the wallrunning north-south, an east-west wallruns some five kilometers (3 miles)past hills and mesas into the desert.

This suggests a larger protectivezone being built against those whowould violate excavation work andrecovery of very precious and histor-ical materials from multiple under-ground structures.

Locals are now sometimes beingscanned with metal detectors, sug-gesting high security and the desire toprotect precious artifacts, along withthe unmistakable modern influence ofnew-world technology.

Indeed, are the chambers of thedeep being closed in the 21st centuryto students of world culture and his-tory, those who follow in the footstepsof explorers like Charles Piazzi Smythand R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, who en-tertained a higher meaning to Egyptianarchitecture? Are these sites now beingclosed to technologically gifted ex-plorers at a time when new proto-historic findings could serve to unitethe various camps of thinkers and phi-losophers in the Near East on the basisof a grand history for all people?

We hope that any newly discoveredrealities within the walls will not belimited to the few, and that there willbe no concealment of important histor-ical information that could bring ahigher knowledge and unity to all hu-mankind in the nexus area of westerncivilization.

We encounter very similar, intract-able problems when we examine theprecision engineering that went intothe Great Pyramid. We have anotherexample of just how precise and de-manding this massive project was in ademonstration that took place in thelate seventies. At that point in timeJapan was the global economic miracleand they were riding high. A Japaneseteam funded by Nissan set out to provethey had the wherewithal to build a 60'scale model of the Great Pyramid usingthe traditional tools and methods.

The Egyptian government approvedthe project. Their first embarrassmentcame at the quarry when they discov-ered they could not cut the stonesfrom the bedrock. They called in jack-hammers. The next embarrassing situa-tion came when they tried to ferry theblocks across the river on a primitivebarge. They could not control themand had to call for a modern one. Thenthey ran into more grief on the oppo-site bank when they discovered thatthe sledges sank into the sand and theycould not budge them. They called fora bulldozer and truck. The final coup d’grace was delivered when they tried toassemble the pyramid and found theycould not position the stones with anyaccuracy and had to request the aid ofhelicopters.

National pride and saving face are

foot tall scale model of the Great Pyramid could beconstructed, he brought in barefoot locals withmodern chisels, hammers and a truck with a steelwinch to hoist the blocks out of the quarry.

That compromised the entire test, which was sillyanyway since the blocks were less than half the sizeof the average used in the pyramid. How could thatprove that 70-ton blocks were hoisted up 150 verticalfeet to the King’s Chamber? His 20’ tall scale modelwas like comparing the plastic Tonka truck to a realEarth mover in the opening paragraph. The whole fi-asco only proved that he had become intimidated bythe magnitude of the construction problems.

very important to the Japanese and thiswas a shameful episode. They were ut-terly humiliated when they ultimatelydiscovered that they were not able tobring the four walls together into anapex and their mini-pyramid experi-ment was a disaster. They left Gizasadder and wiser. Imagine the incon-ceivably exact planning that went intothe Great Pyramid to bring the 481'high walls to a point!

How long did it take the ancientEgyptians to build it? That is the wrongquestion. The right one is, could theancient Egyptians have built the GreatPyramid? The answer is not with thetools and techniques that Egyptologistsclaim they used.

These issues have been raised anddebated for decades. It is time to bringthem to a head and move on. Alterna-tive historians have pointed to theenigmas and orthodoxy has pooh-poohed them. Quite frankly this grid-lock is unproductive. Orthodox histo-rians have shown a disdain for ap-plying the rules and guidelines ofscientific methodology to the matter.Chris Dunn has addressed this issueand pointed out that Egyptologistsapply a double standard when it comesto evaluating their soft ‘evidence’versus the hard facts as outlined above.They set the bar about 1-foot off theground for themselves and about 8 feet

high for alternativehistorians.

The repeated liveTV and canned videoprograms that havebeen churned outquite regularly sincethe mid-1990s, byZahi Hawass andLehner, have beenaimed at shoring upthe party line. Iwatched the robot ex-plore the shaft in Sep-tember. While mostobservers have fo-cused on analyzingthe ‘pay off’, the mostimportant part of theprogram slipped byvirtually unnoticed. That was ‘the filler’segments that recited and added newsupport for the traditional version ofhistory. It was very deftly layered intothe program, in fact, it was ‘the pro-gramming’ part of the show.

There really is no ‘debate’ betweenthe orthodox and alternative historycamps because the former group re-fuses to engage in any fair, open ex-change or to provide solid proof oftheir theories. Every one of their basicconstruction tenets can be subjected toscientifically controlled tests. Alterna-tive historians have been under the

false impression thatthe other side could be

convinced with com-pelling fact-based argu-

ments and incontro-vertible evidence. But

that has proven tohave been a false as-

sumption. History’s mysterieshave long since be-

come a political foot-ball.

In my opinion, it istime to leave that para-digm behind and timeto stop playing by the

other side’s riggedrules. The debate is

over, if it ever existed,so why go on wasting effort trying toopen closed minds? That is an exercisein futility. Some very crucial issuesneed our full attention, such as, whatintelligent culture built the pyramidcomplexes using cyclopean stones?How did they do it and where is the ev-idence of the technology that wasused? Are we the beneficiaries of analien, yet human, DNA that has to solvethis riddle before it can evolve any fur-ther? Or are we the inheritors of astrictly earth-based legacy handeddown by a ‘lost’ civilization?

that Columbus had with him a mapthat showed accurately the Palmer Pe-ninsula in the Antarctic continent.”

Hapgood—the US Air Force Carto-graphic Office and Their Critics

This is where the scientist CharlesHapgood entered the investigation. InMaps of the Ancient Sea Kings hewrites: “Verbatim copies of the broad-cast were distributed and brought tomy attention. ...I had a strong hunchthat, despite the improbabilities of hisgeneral theories, and the lack, then, ofpositive proof, [that] Mallery couldwell be right. I decided to investigatethe map as thoroughly as I could. Itherefore initiated an investigation atKeene State College.”

Hapgood followed up the researchwith his students and they presentedtheir findings to the cartographic staffof the Strategic Air Command. The U.S.Air Force concluded that the southernpart of the map did in fact depict por-tions of Antarctica, yet the island conti-nent was not supposed to have beendiscovered until 1818. USAF Lt.Colonel Harold Z. Ohlmeyer wrote:“...The claim that the lower part of themap portrays the Princess MarthaCoast of Queen Maud Land Antarctica,and the Palmer Peninsula is reasonable.We find this is the most logical and in

Captain Arlington Mallery and theU.S. Navy’s Hydrographic Office

The turbulent events of the 1930sand 1940s were so all-encompassingthat few people were interested in thestory of the Piri Reis Map. But in 1954the publication of a book and a dis-covery by an amateur scientist shednew light on the mystery. Professor Dr.Afetinan’s Life and Works of theTurkish Admiral: Piri Reis with thebold subtitle: The Oldest Map ofAmerica, Drawn by Piri Reis, wastranslated into English by Dr. LemanYolac in 1954. Here we get a hint ofPiri Reis, the man. Afetinan writes:“The first official acknowledgment ofPiri’s deeds is an account of the seafights in the years 1499-1502. The ac-tual commander-in-chief of the fleet be-longing to the Supreme Admiral of allSea-Forces was Kemal Reis.

In his fleet Piri was given officialcommand of some of the vessels. Hisservice in the battles (1500-1502)

against the Venetians was remarkable.The great advantages that the Ot-

toman Empire acquired by the Treatyof Venice in 1502 were made possiblemainly by the brave deeds of theseseamen.”

The Turkish author concludes thatthe Piri Reis Map should “not fail to in-terest the Americans” because it is oneof the oldest maps of the New World.Afetinan didn’t expand on its antiquity.

In contrast, an amateur scientist bythe name of Captain Arlington Mallerymade it his mission to determine theage of the source maps used by PiriReis. So radical were Mallery’s conclu-sions that he hesitated to reveal them.On a radio show in August 1956 he toldthe story of how in June 1954: “... theChief Engineer of the Hydrographic Of-fice handed me a copy of a map whichhad been sent to him by a Turkishnaval officer. He suggested that I ex-amine it in the light of the informationwe already had on the ancient maps.After making an analysis of it, I took itback to him and requested that the Of-ficer check both the latitude and longi-tude and the projection. When theyasked why, I said, ‘There is somethingin this map that no one is going to be-lieve coming from me, and I don’tknow whether they will believe itcoming from you.’ That was the fact

all probability the correct interpreta-tion of the map.”

Captain Burroughs went further:“...The agreement of the Piri Reis Mapwith the seismic profile of this areamade by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Expedition of 1949, sup-ported by your solution of the grid,places beyond a reasonable doubt theconclusion that the original sourcemaps must have been made before thepresent Antarctic ice cap covered theQueen Maud Land coasts.”

Critics of Hapgood’s work attemptto belittle him by attributing the con-clusions about the Piri Reis Map andAntarctica as originating from the pro-fessor alone. He’s painted as a lonemaverick fighting the establishmentwithout any supporters. This conven-iently ignores the fact that the U.S.Navy Hydrographic Office and the Car-tographic staff of the Strategic AirCommand both came independently tothe same conclusion: that the southernportion of the Piri Reis Map depicts thesubglacial features of the Queen Maudcoastline of Antarctica.

It‘s not just Hapgood that criticshave to dismiss but also the profession-alism of the US Navy and US Air Forcestaff who drew the conclusions thattheir training led them to, regardless ofthe historical significance of their find-ings. These were dedicated cartogra-phers doing what they did best—studying maps. This was a collective ef-fort of professionals supporting theconclusion of an amateur based uponthe facts at their disposal.

Charles Hapgood wasn’t just tracingmaps with his fingers and coming tooutrageous conclusions. As he care-fully and methodically tried to unravelthis mystery, he called upon the bestpeople he could find. Just as he reliedon the help of Albert Einstein whenthinking through the implications ofhis earth crust displacement theory.

Longitude on the Piri Reis MapI’ve highlighted the general outline

of the Piri Reis Map. The circled islandin the middle represents the area ofthe Rocks of St. Peter and St. Paulwhich today barely protrude from theocean. Hapgood believed that this wasthe site of Atlantis when the oceanlevel was lower during the last Ice Age.I, naturally, as anyone who has readWhen the Sky Fell or The AtlantisBlueprint will appreciate, disagreewith Hapgood on this important point.

The red dots represent land that iswithin half a degree of its accurate lon-gitude as we measure it today withmodern methods. The most glaringmistake on the map is the fact that it

bright stars, the ancients may indeedhave been capable of determining lon-gitude without the use of a marinechronometer.

Sanders and Cooper believe that itwas theoretically possible for the an-cient Egyptians to calculate longitudewithin one-sixth of a degree. The rami-fications of this for the Piri Reis Mapare profound and I’m grateful to myfriend Ray Grasse for bringing Sander’sarticle to my attention. If the ancientEgyptians could determine longitude,then the mystery of the accuracy of thePiri Reis’s source maps may be solvedand we no longer need the hypothesisof the existence of a long-lost advancedcivilization to resolve the riddle of theexistence of the maps.

But there is one fly in this ointment.One cannot help but wonder why

no one with the knowledge of theRata-Maui came forward in 1714 whenthe British Board of Longitude offeredthe fabulous sum of twenty thousandpounds to anyone who could provide ameans to calculate longitude at seawithin half a degree. Twenty thousandpounds in 1714 would have thespending power of at least two milliondollars today.

Perhaps the knowledge had beenlost? Or the astronomical records uponwhich the method rested had per-ished? We don’t know.

Sanders’ and Cooper’s method restsupon taking accurate readings of thestars and comparing the moon’s rela-tionship to them. All these readingswere taken from one central point. Todetermine longitude from a differentpoint, the moon’s position relative tothe stars had to be calculated and com-pared to the readings at the home base.

The kind of map that would be gen-erated by the Rata-Maui method is onein which the world is seen from asingle central point. It is what we calltoday an azimuth equidistant projec-tion. This is the same projection dis-played on the Piri Reis Map.

The Piri Reis ProjectionThe Piri Reis Map depicts only a

fragment of the world. Above, I haverecreated what the rest of the mapwould look like if we saw the entireglobe from the same projection thatthe Turkish pirate-turned admiral usedin 1513. The light areas are the partsthat survived on the piece of Roe Deerleather that became the Piri Reis Map.The green areas are those that mayhave been lost.

This projection is centered onCairo.

However, Hapgood, his studentsand members of the cartographic staffof the Strategic Air Command at West-over Air Force Base in Massachusettsselected another location in ancient

joins Antarctica with South America.Hapgood explained that this was a ten-degree error in transposing from one ofthe ancient source maps. When theten-degree separation is restored, thereare half a dozen sites on Antarcticawhich are shown within half a degreeof their actual coordinates.

The startling fact is that on the PiriReis Map there are an amazing 24points that are all within half a degreeof their actual longitude. This level ofaccuracy shouldn’t have existed in1513.

Calculating longitude at sea was notsomething that Piri Reis or anyone inthe sixteenth century was supposed tobe capable of doing. According to ac-

cepted history it wasn’t until CaptainCook carried one of John Harrison’smarine chronometers on his voyagesfor the purpose of charting new landsin the 1770s that continents could beaccurately charted.

Longitude Solved?The Fall 2001 issue of 21st Century

Using a calculating devicecalled a “tanawa,” which could deter-mine measurements of the Moon rela-tive to the known positions of the stars,they calculated their longitude. This ispossible because the moon’s orbitaround the earth is slightly slower thanthe rotation of our planet. The moonappears to us to retrograde to east at apredetermined rate.

Egypt as the center of the map.

Syene or the Tropic of Cancer? The projection used by the Turkish

Admiral is amazingly modern in its con-struction. Known as an ‘azimuth equi-distant projection,’ it depicted theworld from the point of view of a veryspecific center.

This was a familiar projection to thecartographic staff of the Strategic AirCommand at Westover Air Force Basein Massachusetts. It was used to targetSoviet military and economic assets.For example, a map centered onMoscow would allow them to programmissiles to travel the shortest distance(and fastest time) from a NATO base(e.g. Turkey) to the capital of the USSR.

Hapgood and his students (notablyFrank Ryan) spent days on end tryingto determine the exact center of thePiri Reis Map. At first, Hapgood wasconvinced that it was the city of Syenewhere Eratosthenes, the librarian andfather of geography, had made his fa-mous calculations about the size of theearth. He submitted this suggestion tothe cartographic crew at Westover AirForce Base. US Air Force Captain Lo-renzo W. Burroughs (Chief of the Car-tographic Section that worked on thePiri Reis Map) wrote on August 14,1961: “...Piri Reis’ use of the portolanoprojection (centered on Syene, Egypt)was an excellent choice...” [13]

Despite the fact that professionalshad verified Syene as the center of themap, Hapgood remained skeptical. Hethought that the ancients would haveused the Tropic of Cancer, which todaylies near Syene but not exactly on it, fortheir calculations.

Hapgood mistakenly assumed that itwas an either/or choice between the‘Syene as center’ or the ‘Tropic ofCancer’ method of calculation. But itwasn’t necessary to select one over theother.

There was a time when the Tropicof Cancer and Syene were in perfectharmony.

I believe that the projection of thePiri Reis Map points not only to a veryspecific place but also to a very specifictime. The projection itself might giveus a clue to when the source mapswere first drawn.

Everyone learns in school that theEarth is on a ‘tilt’ of twenty three andhalf degrees. This tilt creates our sea-sons because sunlight touches theearth at different angles during dif-ferent times of the year. The Tropic ofCancer always mirrors the same angleas the Earth’s tilt which varies over a41,000 year cycle “drifting” from amaximum of 24:30 degrees to a min-imum of 22:06 degrees. Today’s tilt is23:27 degrees and consequently theTropic of Cancer is 23:27 degrees

If the source maps that would eventu-ally be used by Piri Reis were in the li-brary, then it seems a safe bet that thelibrarian would have known aboutthem.

Eratosthenes is also credited as theworld’s founder of mathematical geog-raphy. The story is often told in univer-sity geometry classes of how Eratos-thenes assumed that the ancient city ofSyene was on the Tropic of Cancer. Byusing this assumption and some clevercalculations, he was able to determinethe size of the earth with remarkableaccuracy.

By comparing the angle differenceof the noon Sun on the summer sol-stice at Alexander and simultaneouslyat Syene, Erathothenes determined thatthe distance between the two citiesrepresented one fiftieth of the earth’scircumference. The librarian came upwith a figure equal to 28, 566 mileswhich is 14.7% larger than the truefigure (24,902 miles). The error was inhis estimate of the distance from Alex-ander to Syene—not in the geometry.Had he known that the true distancebetween Alexandria and Syene was4,530 Greek stadia rather than 5,000stadia (as he assumed) his measure-ments would have been within 1% ofthe true figure of the earth’sdimension.

Dating the Source Charts for thePiri Reis Map

What I’m suggesting is new whenapplied to the mystery of the origin ofthe Piri Reis Map.

I believe that Eratosthenes selectedSyene as the base for his earth studiesbecause he had found ancient mapsthat were originally drawn when thatcity lay directly on the Tropic ofCancer. If secret maps existed in Egyptthen surely the librarian of the Libraryof Alexandria would know about themand use that knowledge to pursue hisown geographic obsessions.

So when did the Tropic of Cancerand Syene share exactly the same lati-tude?

The answer is simple once we re-alize that the slow southward ‘drift’ ofthe Tropic of Cancer is a mirror of thegradual change in the earth’s obliquity(tilt). This change is regular enough forus to determine an approximate timewhen the Tropic of Cancer last sharedthe same latitude as Syene. We can cal-culate the difference in distance fromthe latitude of today’s Tropic of Cancer(23:27N) to that of Syene (24:05:30N)and find an answer.

Astronomers have concluded that ittakes a century for the Tropic ofCancer to drift 40 seconds of latitude.This gives us a formula for our calcula-tions and enables us to bulls eye thedate when the original mapmakerswere at work.

(from the equator). Since the earth’s tiltchanges relatively uniformly over time,we have a way of dating when theTropic of Cancer lay at the same posi-tion as Syene—a time when the sourcemaps of the Piri Reis Map may havebeen originally constructed.

Secret Maps inside the Great Pyr-amid—Al Mumun—Erathothenes

In his classic work, Secrets of theGreat Pyramid, Peter Tompkins tellsthe story of how the Caliphs ofBaghdad, after capturing Alexander in640 A.D., grew hungry for knowledgeof the world’s geography. They setabout finding and translating into Ar-abic everything to do with the subject,including rare copies of Plato, Aristotleand the sages of ancient India. We learnthat in 813 A.D. a young Caliph named

Abdullah Al Mamun ascended thethrone. He turned Baghdad into one ofthe world’s most important centers oflearning by building a great library andastronomical observatory.

But his thirst for geographic knowl-edge was never satisfied. Around 820A.D. al Mamun learned “...that theGreat Pyramid was reputed to contain asecret chamber with maps ... Althoughthey were said to have been made inthe remote past, they were supposed tobe of great accuracy.” Al Mamun be-came determined to penetrate theworld’s largest building and find thelost maps of the ancients. Today when-ever anyone enters the Great Pyramid itis through the passageway burrowed bythe Caliph’s men in their futile attemptto find the ancient maps.

Nearly a thousand years before AlMamun, one of the greatest of theGreek sages lived in Alexandria. The li-brarian Eratosthenes of Cyrene (fl. 276-194 BC) is considered to be the founderof modern geography. He spent fortyyears overseeing the famous Library ofAlexandria. Nobody knew more aboutthe contents of this brimming store-house of knowledge than Eratosthenes.

Syene is 38 minutes and 30 secondsfrom today’s Tropic of Cancer. This is2280 (38 x 60 to convert minutes toseconds) plus the 30 seconds give us atotal of 2310 seconds difference. Wethen divide these seconds by 40 to findthat Syene was last on the Tropic ofCancer some 57.75 centuries ago.

Syene was last on the Tropic ofCancer some 5775 years ago –around 3775 B.C.

The ancient Egyptians placed greatstore in having sites at the Tropic ofCancer.

Just north of Syene are the famous“Tombs of the Nobles’ which archaeol-ogists date to the Pre-Dynastic period(circa 3900 - 3100 B.C.).

Astronomy shows that these ancienttombs lay under the Tropic of Cancerin 3850 B.C.

Such synchronicity between as-tronomy and archaeology revives forme the haunting possibility that a lostcivilization, long practiced in the art ofsky watching, was an important sourceof inspiration for the Pre-DynasticEgyptians.

The blend of academics and convivi-ality has served Sheldrake well: As theauthor of more than fifty papers pub-lished in scientific journals, he acceptscriticism without defensiveness, statingthat: “healthy skepticism plays an im-portant part in science, and stimulatesresearch and creative thinking.” He dif-ferentiates an open-minded, healthyskeptic who is interested in evidencefrom a “skeptic,” whom he defines assomeone committed to the belief thatparanormal phenomena are impossible.His extensive website (sheldrake.org)addresses specific comments from sev-eral skeptics. “Click on their names ifyou want to know what they saidabout my research on the unexplainedpowers of animals, and to read my re-plies,” he suggests. Though he’s beenridiculed by some and teased by others(some of my peers have suggestedusing telepathy instead of a telephonewhen I mention I’m going to make acall), many other scientists find his con-clusions fascinating and plausible.Quantum Physicist David Bohm sees

similarities in Sheldrake’s FormativeCausation and his own theory of an in-visible “Implicate Order” behind the“explicate” material world.

that phenomena presently ignored orneglected can be brought within thescope of science.” He hopes that this‘expanded’ science will give us a betteridea of the interconnections betweenourselves, plants and animals, theplanet as a whole and between our-selves and the universe. “Such sciencewould not be in conflict with spiritu-ality, but complimentary to it andcould lead to a healing of the split be-tween science and religion that has sodamaged our civilization.” In his ownlife, that split has been healed, thoughit took some time.

Raised by devout Methodists inNewark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire,England, Sheldrake attended an An-glican boarding school and foundhimself torn between a very Protes-tant tradition and the Anglo-Catholic “with incense and all thetrappings of Catholicism.” The riftbetween his love of living thingsand the mechanistic approach to bi-ology he was taught was more in-tense. His discovery of an essay bythe German philosopher Goetheabout a holistic science that wouldfocus not on reducing things totheir minutiae and that would in-clude direct experience and one’ssenses intrigued and inspired him.So much so that he spent a year’sfellowship at Harvard (“where Ifound they treated me like achild!”) studying the philosophyand history of science. “I readThomas Kuhn’s book, The Struc-ture of Scientific Revolutions andthat had a big influence on me,gave me a new perspective,” re-members Sheldrake.

From Harvard, it was back toCambridge, where he did his grad-uate work and came across the“Epiphany Philosophers,” an ec-lectic group of philosophers, physi-cists, hippies, healers, mystics andmonks. “We lived together in awindmill on the Norfolk coast for aweek at a time, four times a year, ex-ploring new ideas in quantum theory,the philosophy of science, parapsy-chology, alternative medicine andother sixties themes,” he recalls. “Wewere a kind of vanguard.”

From 1974 to 1978 Sheldrake wasPrincipal Plant Physiologist at the Inter-national Crops Research Institute forthe Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hy-derabad, India, where he worked onthe physiology of tropical legumecrops and remained Consultant Physiol-ogist until 1985. For a year and a half,Sheldrake lived at the ashram of FatherBede Griffiths, a Christian BenedictineMonk in South India, where he wroteA New Science of Life, considered his“magnus opus.” But again, life wasn’tall work and no play: It was in India

that he met his wife, Jill Purce. Bothwere speakers at the InternationalTranspersonal Association’s 1982 con-ference on Ancient Wisdom andModern Science: her lecture addressedancient wisdom; his, modern science.The blend has been working for themever since. The couple now lives inLondon with their two teen-age sons,three cats, a goldfish and a guinea pig.

Like Dr. Candace Pert, the endocri-nologist credited with the discovery ofthe opiate receptor in the brain, Shel-drake has concluded that the mind isnot confined to the brain. While Dr.Pert focuses on the chemical proof that

neuropeptides are found throughoutthe body, Dr. Sheldrake suggests thatminds involve extended fields of influ-ence that stretch out beyond brainsand bodies entirely, connectingthoughts and intentions, as well ascreating the “memory” in nature. “Ithink morphic resonance works di-rectly across time rather than beingstored in a place, as on a CD or hard-disk,” notes Sheldrake, who finds thespiritual concept of akashic records tobe “like an etheric filing cabinet” and“too specialized, too localized.” Hedoes find the concept of an “etheric (orenergy) body” congruent with his theo-ries, though. “Morphic fields can be ofmany types, and a morphogenetic fieldis one that organizes and, to a degree,animates bodies,” he explains.

The idea that inheritance doesn’tcome through genes alone is one thatcarries over into the aging of cells.Though his research on cellular aging,culminating in an article in Naturemagazine, was done before he formu-lated his current theory, Sheldrakefinds it applicable. “A lot of informa-tion is inherited through morphic reso-nance rather than through genes,” hestates. “Since these fields contain an in-herent memory, they can evolve andchange.” A vegetarian for 25 years(mostly for ethical reasons), he feelswe can influence the aging processthrough diet, exercise and meditation,

but cites the accumulation of de-fects in cells as ultimately irrever-sible. “We can’t reprogram ourcells completely; though we canslow the aging process, I don’tthink we can completely reverseor stop it. Aging is a mechanisticprocess that works against mor-phic fields.” Realistic and practical,Sheldrake is somewhat under-stated, but can deliver a punchwhen necessary. He muses that“there’s a lot we already know, butwe’ve been educated to reject ourown experience. I think it’s betterto pay more attention to what wesee in our animals and experienceourselves and not be frightened offby the dogmatic, mechanistic andmaterialistic attitudes that still pre-vail in the scientific and medicalworlds.”

Currently a Fellow of the Insti-tute of Noetic Sciences in San Fran-cisco, Sheldrake sees one effect his“fields” have as “influencing per-sonal responsibility and inten-tions.” Noting that social fields canbuild upon the energy within andaround them, contributing togroup actions such as “mob vio-lence,” he cautions that “morphicresonance is morally neutral. Weneed to realize that our thoughtsand intentions are influential and

take responsibility for how things areevolving on the planet. Right now thebiggest spreading habit in the world isgrowing consumerism…kids every-where want to mimic kids in the U.S.But think what could happen throughprayer and meditation groups!”

For Sheldrake, things are evolvingvery nicely, thank you. More books areplanned, including another with theo-logian Matthew Fox, with whom hewrote Natural Grace: Dialogues onScience and Spirituality and ThePhysics of Angels (both 1996) and onedetailing the results of his experiments.

He is content to be living as bal-anced a life as one can in this hecticworld, and is happy with his role ofbeing in the vanguard of scientific re-search and discovery.

MICROCHIP IMPLANTS

Continued from Page 33enough, but it seemed even scarierafter the mass media started raising aruckus about it. Ostensibly, this ledseveral people to find a solution whicha) wouldn’t hurt or visibly mar the be-loved pet, as, say, branding or ear clip-ping would, but was b) immune to ru-dimentary measures such as removingthe collar and attendant license tags.Out of this came implantable RFID tagssuch as InfoPet, from Applied DigitalSolutions (www.adsx.com). Appliedsubdermally by a special injector, thechip, about the size of a grain of rice,bears a unique identifying codenumber linked to the pet and its partic-ulars and is read via a special devicewhich energizes the RFID tag andcauses it to transmit its information. Sogo the standard accounts.

There’s another way of looking atsuch matters, though, and it’s not thereactive model portrayed. Rather, longbefore the public ever becomes awareof it, an emerging technology is care-fully and shrewdly assessed, not onlyin terms of what it can do positively,but also in terms of potential threats toand conflicts with existing technolo-gies and the powerful financial inter-ests behind them. This is why, for ex-ample, that we still choke onautomotive exhausts and the like whena whole series of clean energy technol-ogies could’ve been implemented dec-ades ago. Thus, it should come as nosurprise that many promising technolo-gies otherwise doable come to grief viafinancial strangulation, intimidation orworse. Conversely, that which ad-vances the interests of those in poweris eagerly adopted and at the fastestpractical rate. Nothing is dearer tothose people than increasing theirspan of awareness while increasingcontrol over everyone and everything.Enter the implantable microchip forhumans. People will never consent tosuch a thing! Really?

If people can be persuaded,through perceived threat, social pres-sure and clever marketing to protecttheir pets with implantable micro-chips, how, then, can they deny thesame presumed protection to their pre-cious offspring? Wouldn’t that makethem, gasp, bad parents? What wouldpeople think?

Several commentators have skew-ered the strange attitude Americanshave toward their children. They claimto love them and to make them theirtop priority, yet many are effectivelyabandoned and left unsupervised aslatchkey kids or roaming at will. Mil-lions of American children live in pov-erty, are hungry, have no medical care

and get only the mostrudimentary education.We’re told there is aterrible child abductionproblem all the time inthe media, but in re-ality, the problempeaked years ago andhas been decliningsince. We’re all workedup over the problem,what with milk cartonsand amber alerts, butno one ever got aroundto setting up a masterdatabase in the Federalgovernment coveringmissing and exploitedchildren. Why?

Important clues maylie in such diverse areasas the seemingly everexpanding RomanCatholic sex abusescandals, the accountsof mind control andritual sex abuse victimssuch as Cathy O’Brien(TranceFormation),the extraordinarily dis-turbing material in Ma-trix III, The FranklinCoverup, the MontaukProject books ofPreston Nichols, thechilling descriptions ofwhat goes on in a se-cret genetics lab at Dulce, NewMexico, the oh-so-convenient labelingthe reporting of ritual sex abuse as apsychiatric problem in the Diagnosticand Statistical Manual III (Revised)and the blunt words of a retired three-star general. Interviewed by a UFO re-search group, that worthy said that thealiens were responsible for the disap-pearance of only a few thousand chil-dren a year and that the vast bulk couldbe laid right at the door of Man, beingdisposed of in every dark way imagin-able. Even cursory digging will showthat many if not most of the groupsand organizations which should be pro-tecting children are in fact exploitingthem. The Franklin Coverup found,for example, that in one town themayor, chief of police and other highofficials were all involved in a child sexring, with the children being trans-ported to and from a nearby Air Forcebase and the operation being protectedby the local FBI official. Call that theexpurgated version. Apparently, theproblem extends to the highest na-tional levels, according to some of thevictims. Time and again we also see sa-tanism, black occult rituals and ritualmurder mentioned as well.

Okay, the pets were the foot in thedoor, and we’ve begun to scare theparents into chipping their kids, but

that’ll take too long. We really want thegrownups. What to do? What to do?Sell the sizzle. Sell convenience. Makemoney irrelevant.

In the last five decades or so, we’veseen nothing less than a fundamentalinversion of our relationship withmoney. Where once it was held ashame and disgrace to be in debt, nowwe brag about how many credit cardswe have and the perks attached tothem. We have ATM cards and debitcards which give us limited access toour money, while generating an audittrail at every use, and stores have spe-cial prices for members who’ll let theirevery transaction be recorded and ana-lyzed. If you’ve paid attention, cash it-self has become the enemy, and we’vebeen carefully and systematicallytaught, ostensibly as part of the War onDrugs and now also the even more stri-dent War on Terror, that the mere pos-session of more than a few hundredbucks is a sign of criminality, as learnedthe hard way by hundreds of peoplewho’ve had their innocent personalfunds seized by police in the course ofhighway searches. Never fear. Digitalmoney will soon be here, and it won’tbe anonymous.

Meanwhile, under guise of defeatingcounterfeiting and similar plausible sto-ries, our currency has undergone and

continues to undergo a radical transfor-mation. It’s uniquely tagged and ac-cording to certain underground scien-tists, remotely readable by gamma raylaser even while in a safe. RFID special-ists openly talk about making the billswe carry generate their own audit trail,a record of every transaction in whichthey’re used. But these are only inter-mediate steps, as are the various bio-metric ID systems popping up. It’s allabout creeping gradualism.

“Tired of long security lines andhours of waiting at airports and otherforms of mass transit? Chip it! Beenmugged one too many times? Whoneeds money and the thieves who takeit? Chip it! Forget that darn checkbookand all the ID it requires? Chip it! Doyour part in the War on Drugs and theWar on Terror. Get chipped today! It’ship to chip!”

As you can see, there are lots ofselling points, especially when some fi-nancial incentives are thrown in, buthere are the pitfalls. Loss of privacy vianear total transparency of one’s move-ments, social interactions and financialtransactions. Linking with RFID micro-tags in every product would providecradle to grave information on all prod-ucts used too. Distinct possibility thatthe chip may have covert control func-tions (e.g. tracking, real time two-waymonitoring, behavior suppression,etc.) other than ID completely un-known to the implantee. Distinct possi-bility that the body may, over long orshort term, treat the implant as a for-eign body and have an immune or al-lergic response. Don’t laugh. The im-plantable contraceptive Norplantrecently had to be withdrawn from themarket and all implantees precisely be-cause of such problems.

And have you ever considered whathappens if, for whatever valid or in-valid reason, you wind up as a suspector enemy of those in power? Withoutanonymous cash or anonymous digitalmoney you suddenly can’t buy any-thing, go anywhere or even buy food.Already people have wound up on thewrong side of government databasesand had their lives turned into livingnightmares, and that’s with cash stillrelatively common. And how long willit be before holding a job or operatinga business will be impossible withoutour friend the chip? Sure, it’ll be for se-curity and to avoid fraud or somesuch,but once done, we will have no con-trol over our own economic destiniesand will be slaves in fact if not by law.Remember our earlier discussion?Slaves and property get marked andtracked.

wheel, and her name in Greek meanspure.

The chapel’s design is unusual, tallerthan it is wide. The tiles that oncemade up the floor are gone, leavingonly packed earth. There are no pews,no altars, no wall decorations, just a bitof white plaster amongst the bare, una-dorned stones. Joseph MacDermott, anart restorer, lecturer in the Western Es-oteric Tradition, and choir master, sug-

gested its thick stone walls may containempty clay pots, embedded at inter-vals, to further enhance the acousticswith internal resonant chambers.

About 40 people arrived to witnessand participate in the day’s experi-ments. John noted that this manypeople compromised the results some-what, as our clothing and soft tissue ab-sorbed sound waves. But this day wasalso designed as a group experience.

As we waited for the various musi-cians, singers, and overtone singers toarrive, one woman told me how shehad visited a few months prior andfound the chapel empty. For somereason, she said, she was moved totears, not of sadness, but of a palpablesense of the fullness of mother, ofhome. This would prove to be acommon experience.

So perhaps the storm that raged theprevious night was appropriate. Therewas some discussion, but no con-sensus, as to whether the acoustic ef-fects would be enhanced or hinderedby the weather. David felt that strongwinds can strip your personal energyfield, with a negative ionizing effectand that this would be good for the dayitself. John was concerned that thehowling wind would adversely affectthe natural acoustic signature of thechapel. Joseph wondered if the porousstone walls, soaked with rain, would vi-

brate with better effect to the winds.Those were gale-force winds thatnearly blew us off the hill as we clam-ored up, and gave John’s truckload ofequipment a bad shaking in thefarmer’s tractor hired to carry it up.

John’s cymatic set-up, includingcomputers, a large drum, microphoneson stands, a large projection screen,and an armory of equipment I couldnot name, filled one end of the chapel.The first of the overtone singers sanginto the microphone to see what pat-terns they could coax from the dustingof sand on the drum’s head, visible on

screen. Joseph served as con-ductor. For the first severalsingers, the sand collectedinto a simple ring within aring. Soon enough, though,Joseph seemed to know whattones were needed, with awonderful ability to identifyand remember pitch. As hetold the singers what notesto hit, complex patternsbegan to emerge on screen.

Joseph and David inter-preted many of the patterns,finding correlates in art andmyth. One pattern resembledan abstract drawing of awoman kneeling in prayer. Arecurring pattern was a mazeof concentric circles—acommon symbol for thewyrdd, the feminine mys-

teries, Joseph pointed out. Sacred siteresearcher and tour guide Gary Bilt-cliffe noted that like many tors, or sa-cred hills in England, the narrow an-cient path up to the chapel woundalong in the concentric circles of a lab-yrinth, and that the maze design is acommon one found scribed in stone.

John said that many of the formsseen that day were unique, not seen byhim over many years of cymatic work.He was particularly intrigued by a re-curring rose, a circle surrounded bypetal forms, which he identified as theresult of a standing wave pattern set upbetween the lengths and widths of theroom. Interesting that the rosette is acommon motif seen in many churchesof the period, and elsewhere.

David was surprised and delightedto find how well this chapel resonateswith the female voice. Most gothic ca-thedrals are tuned to the male voice,he said. But this chapel accommodatesboth male and female ranges. So it isfully in line with the feminine aspectsof a chapel dedicated to a female saint,and with an old folk custom: For centu-ries, village women would pray at thisparticular chapel for a husband, for thehappy union of male and female.

Then came John’s ‘Wall of Sound’experiment. As John explains it, “thisexperiment consists first of identifying

the prime resonant frequency of thechamber using a Pink Noise test,which I carried out last time I wasthere. The frequency is near to 125 Hz,very close to that of the King’sChamber. I then set the oscillator toproduce a 125 Hz sine wave and Ipumped this out via a small loud-speaker, propagating longitudinally.The sonic energy goes out into thechamber and stabilizes into a matrix ofstanding waves. If you could see thismatrix it would look a bit like a chess-board with areas of great intensity ofsound (the anti-nodes) and areas oflow intensity sound (the nodes). How-ever, the chess board, in this instance,is in 3D so the pattern repeats right upto the ceiling. A pair of stepladderswould prove that!”

John had us all line up and slowlywalk in procession around his Wall ofSound. You could feel the cymatic ma-trix in 3D. It’s one thing to see the nulland node lines of a sound wave on adrum, and quite another to feel it sur-round you: Take a step, pause, feelyour whole body vibrate. Take thenext step, pause, and feel the con-trasting silence, back and forth, allaround the chapel. I could now wellunderstand how the cymatics patternsemerged, as the sand was pushed awayfrom the anti-nodes to find safe havenin the nodes.

For John, the pattern that emerged

during this phase was a key, as he ex-plains: “The amplifiers feeding into themembrane were turned off, yet whatwe saw form on the membrane lookedlike a primordial cell with nucleus, ec-toplasm etc. The ‘cell’ formed withoutany direct energy being pumped intothe cymatic drum! The energy was in-direct. This is absolute proof of howmuch effect the chamber itself canhave on a cymatic image.”

The day finished with a series ofsongs, known as keening, that hadmuch of the room in quiet tears, anddemonstrated that the most powerfulinstrument of all is the human voice.Linda Greenslade shared her experi-ence: At funerals, keening allows themourners to lament for their loved oneby bringing out the longing and theseparation through haunting melodies.At weddings, keening celebrates thenew love, which connects each withthe other through harmonious songthat rejoices and reconnects. And at St.Catherine’s, when the singers came to-gether, harmonizing around the onenote that resonated with the building, Ifelt a deep connection with allmothers. First as a child, going to mymother to be embraced by her uncon-ditional love for me, then as a mother,myself being the one to give out thelove to my children and them to me. Ifelt I knew the mother in the earthwhom we had reawakened by being to-gether on that day. Finally, I under-stood that a mother’s love is a reflec-tion of divine love, the unconditional

love of the eternal parent. Recon-necting with the female spirit that hadbeen given the name of Catherine wasa stage along the journey to find thatunconditional love once more. For thedeep joy of this experience, I wantedto weep from the very essence of myfemininity. And then we all packed upand headed back down the hill, to findthat the day that had begun in stormended with perfectly clear, calm,sunny skies.

New Theories in ArtAbstract designs found throughout

cave art, it has been suggested, is rep-resentative of the shamanic visionaryjourney and what is seen in alteredstates. And similarly: could it be thatwe are subconsciously tuned in waysthat inspire us to repeat, in symbol andform, language and story, energetic pat-terns that lie unseen, just beneath thesurface? And that our ancestors knewhow to enhance these connections(and how directly, and interactively,did they speak with this source)? If so,our British friends have opened a newdoorway to understanding ancient art,myth, and architecture: a forgotten as-pect of consciousness that rings withprofound implications and excitingnew possibilities.

ROSSLYN CHAPEL

Continued from Page 43who’s who? Is it possible that a fairlyelegant “shell game” has been carvedinto Rosslyn’s “Book In Stone” that thefounder never intended, leaving us stillsearching for his elusive pea of truth?

In 1954 the chapel was diagnosedby Scotland’s Ministry of Works as suf-fering from extreme damp. It was de-cided to coat the chapel’s interior witha “cementinous slurry” meant to keepthe moisture out. Instead, it made mat-ters worse. But it did more than that.Since fresh paint can cover a multitudeof sins, the recent changes are nolonger noticeable, and I have it ongood authority that the cost of theslurry’s removal, if even possible,would be prohibitively expensive.Rosslyn’s fabled “Truth that ConquersAll,” it seems, must wait for betterdays. Or must they?

Increasingly thought to be the pre-mier Illuminati of his day, Earl Williambuilt into his chapel something thatcould never be changed—somethingthat has waited to be noticed for a verylong time. And considering that the

Knights Templar were ostensiblyfounded to protect Christian pilgrimson their way to the Holy Land, and thatthe Earl’s male progeny became “hered-itary Grand Masters” of the Freemasonsuntil the beginning of the eighteenthcentury, William’s wild card mightcome as a bit of a surprise.

Rosslyn Chapel was founded uponSt. Matthew’s Day, 21 September,1446, and officially dedicated to thatsaint on the same day in 1450. SinceSeptember 21 marks the AutumnalEquinox, when the sun rises exactlydue east of Rosslyn, I decided to see ifthe Earl had written something in thesky above, that might have reflectedthe truth he’d been carving on theearth below. I wasn’t disappointed.

My previous Atlantis Rising articlespropose that an “inner circle” of theKnights Templar escaped the order’ssuppression in 1307 France, going “un-derground” in Scotland, while contin-uing to send what they believed to be“Truth” forward to more enlightenedtimes by secretly hitching rides on boththe astrological mythologies of a pastthey believed to be rooted in “fact” andthe astronomical discoveries they knew

only once every 36 years. And they allrose invisibly in the light of day withinthe constellation Virgo, symbolic of var-ious goddesses found in diverse astro-logical traditions.

Following the parallels I’ve drawn inmy previous articles between the beliefsystems of ancient Egypt and Scotland,however, it’s interesting to note that aGreek tradition proposes the Sphinxwas originally constructed with Virgo’shead on Leo’s body. It’s also interestingto note that the head of the Sphinx wesee today looks disproportionatelysmall, and newer, when compared tothe much-weathered body—as thoughcarved “back” from a previous head.And before the weathering of the body,today’s head would have looked evensmaller. Another tradition identifiesVirgo with the Egyptian goddess Isis—clasping the infant Horus, last of the di-vine kings, in her arms. Since the ad-vent of Christianity, however, Virgo hasbeen identified as the Virgin Mary, withbaby Jesus in her arms; But the Tem-plars are thought to have venerated a“Black Madonna,” not the white onethat Christian artwork has promoted forso long, so perhaps it was consideredsafe enough to leave the door to pastbelief systems open just a crack.

Far beyond our solar system, yetwithin the same alignment, lay the starZaniah, known to the Chinese as“Heaven’s Gate.” The alignment’s nextnearest star, Porrima, was also calledAntevorta and sometimes Postvorta,two ancient goddesses of prophecy. Cu-riously, the star was eventually discov-ered to indeed be a two-star system,and so we might draw an interestingparallel between Porrima and the “de-bunked” theory of Africa’s Dogon tribeand its knowledge of Sirius B.

In any case, the alignment onRosslyn’s dedication to St. Matthew in-dicates that several dedications weremade—but only Matthew’s was“official.”

Before we leave Rosslyn, let’s againlook at the star vault. The rows of starsalternate in chessboard fashion, exceptfor two. Each of the two meets and mir-rors the other, thereby reversing theorder over the remainder of the course.Is this just another change that’s beenmade in the architectural fabric ofRosslyn, or is it a part of Earl William in-tended to survive? Many world “myths”describe a day “the sky fell” and theheavenly order changed, an observedphenomenon much explained if thecrust of the earth had suddenly slidaround its core, moving parts of theEarth out of (and parts into) polar re-gions, and causing the world’s oceansto slosh over the land in a cataclysmnow known to Christians as the biblicalflood! It makes sense that it was not thegreat universe that moved—it was us.

would be found “when the time wasright.”

Thought to have introduced bothchess and tarot cards to medieval Eu-rope, the brotherhood quietly and stra-tegically wove long-forgotten truthsinto the warp and weave of the histor-ical record—truths that would only beseen by those “with eyes to see,” andheard by those “with ears to hear.”

Earl William knew that even a book“carved in stone” could be pounded todust, so he wrote his testament on theinviolable daytime sky, and hid it inthe light.

In Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secretsof the Holy Grail, by Tim Wallace-Murphy & Marilyn Hopkins, the au-thors claim that the site had been “re-vered by the Druids as the oracle ofSaturn, the supreme Guardian ofSecrets.”

According to my research, it seemsthey are right.

When Rosslyn was dedicated onSeptember 21, 1450, the sun had risenexactly due east. Throughout the day,behind the sun and in exact alignmentwith the earth lay the planets Saturnand Neptune, a conjunction that occurs

Two rows up fromRosslyn’s full moonis a dove with anolive branch in itsbeak. Could it bethat William meantthe dove to beNoah’s messengerof hope at theflood’s subsidence?

When the Tem-plars were sup-pressed on Friday,October 13, 1307,it’s thought that theescaping Templarfleet, carrying theorder’s inner circle,headed towardsScotland with theirtreasure and theirtruth. Hidden belowthat dark night’s ho-rizon was the samerare alignment thatrose at daybreak onRosslyn’s dedica-tion, but this time asecond “undiscov-ered” planet,Uranus, had con-joined with it. Quiteresonantly, consid-ering the events of that Friday the13th, the alignment lay within Libra,the Scales of Justice. It’s a strong possi-bility, given such a grand celestial “co-incidence,” that the inner circle haddecided that “the time was right” forthe order’s demise, and had chosen thedate to coincide with the alignment.What the hell—they’d all be dead andgone when “Truth” finally conquered“All!”

On November 4, when the Tem-plars may have reached Rosslyn afterfirst gathering secreted stores of armsin Ireland, the sun and moon enteredthe alignment at dawn—a truly spectac-ular six-body alignment. And exactly400 years plus two days after Rosslyn’sfoundation date of Sept. 21, 1446,Neptune was finally “discovered,” alsoduring the same alignment. Quite theanniversary gift for those in the know!

Much has been speculated aboutwhat the Templars knew about earth’searly history not deemed “prudent” toreveal at the time, and how much ofthat knowledge was passed on to theFreemasons that has since been lost.

Today’s Scottish Templars, whoseconnection with the original Templarsis often hotly debated, have suddenlybecome uncomfortably pro-active incontemporary events. They have beengranted special “consultancy status”with the United Nations, and their cur-rent pet project is to bring Jerusalem’sDome of the Rock under UN control.They meanwhile continue to keep an

aloof silence about anything theyplease. Also avowed to “protect” Scot-tish history, they have shown no lovefor my version of it. I have been told inno uncertain terms that while I am enti-tled to my opinions, they are not “in-formed” opinions. When I suggestedthat perhaps “informed” opinions areopinions one has been “informed”about, and so may have little to dowith “Truth,” I got silence in reply.

One of the Templars arrested onOct. 13, 1307, and subsequently inter-rogated, claimed that during his “initia-tion” into the order he was shown theChristian cross, and was told “Put notthy faith in this, for it is not oldenough.” Is it possible that all adver-saries in the current conflict have been“played the fool” over the past few mil-lennia, in order to precipitate themuch-prophesized “crisis of faith” thatwill introduce a new faith the suddenlyfaithless will flock to?

Is it possible that in order to findthe things that once made us friends,we must first discover whose brightidea it was to make us enemies—andwhy?

Or is it already too late?

The first time Bill drove into thevalley to set up camp, when he stoppedto open a barbed-wire gate he saw anadult golden eagle on the gate post.The eagle looked at him, swished its tailuntil a feather dropped, and flew away.Bill drove the back road many times,but the eagle never reappeared untilthe day Bill packed up for the drivehome. It sat on the same gatepost,waited for the man to get out of hisbus, again looked at him, swished itstail several times until a featherdropped, and flew off.

During the arduous weeks of makingthe Sri Yantra, the group daily walkedseveral miles from camp to the worksite rather than use vehicles. Instead ofexpensive surveying tools, they usedsun shadows, ancient principles of ge-ometry, long wires, binoculars, flagsand sharpened poles. To inscribe thelines, three crew members pulled thegarden cultivator while a fourthsteered. They reverently etched aquarter-mile-across Sri Yantra onto fortyacres. It contained more than thirteenmiles of lines, four inches deep.

As soon as they finished plowing thelast line, rain clouds began collecting inthe southern sky. An hour later highwinds and lightning swept the area. Adownpour chose that one valley,drawing envious comment from anearby rancher who wanted rain. It dis-solved footprints and left the designvarnished like a completed painting.

After the crew went home, Billstayed for several weeks, living in thecenter and meditating in different partsof the design. His inner experienceschanged consistently and repeatedlyfrom one part to another, especiallyfrom the nine-foot center to a few feet

from its boundary. A few weeks after he returned

to Iowa, the National Guard discov-ered the design. Days passed whileBill, immersed in preparing for anart exhibit, didn’t hear about theirdiscovery. Later, he realized thatthe day the design appeared on mil-lions of television screens was theday that his plodding work pacesuddenly speeded up into round-the-clock wakefulness and prolificpainting. At the time he couldn’tunderstand why he felt hyper-energized. Then a friend phoned totell him that everyone was talkingabout the design. Could his innerconnection to it have been enliv-ened by the focused attention,even though he didn’t consciouslyknow what was happening?

Bill wanted to remain anony-mous, but the rapidly growing mis-conceptions bothered him. Hepaced the floor until deciding tospeak out publicly. Immediately aninner nudge urged him outside. Di-rectly above his rural Iowa home,fourteen bald eagles circled, and herecalled the eagle feathers droppedfrom the gatepost like gifts. A yearlater a Vedic scholar told him abouta rare ceremony to honor the DivineMother. It is considered successful onlyif an eagle appears.

The next two years, there seemed tobe an inverse correlation between thegradual disappearance of the Sri Yantradesign and increased vitality in thedesert valley. He wondered if the effectis like homeopathy, where increased di-lution imparts increasing strength ofsubtle energies. Later he would use thatprinciple, burying fragile paper art-works in fields when helping Iowanswho wanted a ceremony to honor thelife force of their land. One farmerchanged afterward to organic farming.

In 1993 the Sri Yantra was gonefrom the surface of the lake bed.Within what had been its boundariesand more dramatically in the center,compacted alkaline silt and salts hadexpanded to something more likeloose, crumbly soil. Apparently a popu-lation explosion of natural soil microor-ganisms caused the changes in soiltilth.

Bill’s half-mile design that followedthe Sri Yantra in 1991 was on a dry lakebed on private land, and made of ninemiles of trenches filled with red vol-canic rocks with the help of a tractorand other loaned equipment. Althoughthe design drew on Vedic and NativeAmerican elements, it wasn’t meant tobe a cultural expression, Bill said, butrather to correspond to forces of naturethat support many cultures. The hostrancher and his family experienced un-usual abundance for some time after-

ward—from triplets to a beneficial mi-croclimate.

Does art have to be seen to be expe-rienced? Bill once made two similarwindow-like paintings. On the back ofone, he placed a traditional geometricdesign and carefully inscribed a sacredtext – 1000 Names of the DivineMother—in tiny handwriting. The twopaintings were hung on opposite wallsalong with twenty other works. He in-vited a group of blind people to spenda day in the gallery. They said peaceful-ness seemed to come from onepainting—the one with the hidden de-sign and text. Another day, school chil-dren picked various paintings as favor-ites. Then they were told about thesightless people, but not whichpainting was involved. The childrenwere asked to sit quietly and close theireyes, and afterward choose based onwhat they felt rather than saw. Unani-mously they chose the painting that hidthe geometry and text.

When we give attention to apainting, the artist’s consciousness em-bedded in the artwork is recreated inour awareness through resonance orentrainment, Bill says. “The more Beingwas lively in the artist’s experience, thegreater is the experience of Being inthe observer.” Therefore an originalgives the viewer a much more pro-found experience than even the best re-production. Further, when you experi-ence a work of art, the consciousnessthat radiates from it and a physiologicalstate that corresponds to that con-

sciousness are enlivened and ampli-fied in you. It may even “take yourbreath away.”

The reverence with which Billcreates leads to another question.Which has more influence—theconsciousness of the artist or cer-tain geometrical shapes?

In 1995 two people in a carnear Oceanside, California,watched a double-spiral cloudrising several thousand feet intothe sky. It was so unusual that theyexited the freeway and drove towhere they thought the cloudwould touch ground. They found agroup with Bill Witherspoon in themiddle, completing a ceremony. Itwas part of a peace gatheringhosted by novelist Victor Villa-sensor. The travelers learned thatBill had cut a fire-killed pine severalmonths previously, polished it intoa 20-foot ceremonial pole, wrotesacred text on it and glued as-cending and descending spirals ofgold leaf on it according to a math-ematical formula. The group hadburied the pole vertically in a deephole with a nest of flake mica (aninsulating mineral) and a six-foot di-ameter traditional design out of

copper circling a faceted ruby on thetip of the pole. More mica, earth andnew grass covered it all. Later, Billwondered if the combination of ele-ments could have become a transducermodulating subtle energy, perhaps pro-ducing an influence that went deepinto the earth and even deeper intospace.

He concludes that a wide range ofman-made geometric structures couldaffect us. “Our cities are filled withflowing streams of energy, roads orwater or electrical distribution systemsthat are geometrically arranged. Whatare the influences we unwittinglycreate? With deliberate design, couldwe have more creative places?” Hospi-tals and prisons could be less stressful.Parks could have a deeper silence withproperly designed plantings and sculp-tural elements, he says. With art andceremony, agriculture could honor theforces of nature that enhance food pro-duction.

Bill Witherspoon’s adventures andhis vision of meaningful designs, of in-teractions between geometries, humanconsciousness and the rest of nature,could fill a book.

JOHN MAJOR JENKINS

Continued from Page 47an actual physical process called ‘aturnabout in the deepest seat of thebeing’ or ‘the backward flowingmethod’ described in the Taoist book,The Secret of the Golden Flower.

Jenkins feels this experience withthe goddess was the “boon” that be-stowed upon him his mission, that ledhim to the Maya, a path that he nowpursues in service to the Great Motherand the perennial wisdom. “It openedup a path of knowledge for me,” he re-calls. “Less than a week after that vi-sion I met the person who encouragedme to travel to Mexico and visit theMaya.” Around that time Jenkins alsoread the (now classic) Mexico Mys-tique by Frank Waters. Today, almosttwenty years later, Jenkins states thatthe connection with that originalguiding force “continues to activelywork within me, so I can continue tobe a mouthpiece for the perennial phi-losophy. But balancing that call withthe demands of making a living andpaying the bills has at times beendaunting.”

Thinking and KnowingJenkins’ mystical leanings are not

that apparent in his recent books,which are academically rigorous andwell documented, without denying thedeeper spiritual truths. In Jenkins’view, “The intellect is not inconsistentwith spirituality. Early on in my re-search, when my writings shifted frompoetry and song-writing to non-fictionresearch, I felt it would be critical to beclear and concise with my findings,mainly because spiritual materialism innew-age publishing seemed to be di-luting the pristine purity of the uni-versal truths with which it was cominginto contact. Metaphors drawn fromthe profane modern culture and newterms were being coined for eternaltruths… distortion of the ancientwisdom was happening. So I decidedto place my rational intellect in serviceto the higher intellect, which is to say,the heart. The heart is really higherthan the brain.” With this approach,Jenkins’ work exemplifies the ability togo beyond the astronomy and venturemore deeply into the metaphysics ofspiritual transformation that awaits uson our approach to the ‘galacticgateway.’

The galactic gateway, and itsmeaning for our time, is the focus ofGalactic Alignment. As we approachthe 2012 end-date of the Mayan Cal-endar, it is clear that the knowledge ex-pounded in many of the world’swisdom texts regarding the end of thepresent world age come together and

are solidly interpreted in Jenkins’ latestbook. According to his findings, thelast of the four Hindu cycles of time,called Yugas, completes in synchronywith the Mayan end-date, as does theAge of Pisces. Christian millenarianism,via the year 2000, is also surprisinglyclose to the galactic alignment. The2012 date itself is the astronomicallydefined time when the Winter SolsticeSun aligns with the center of the MilkyWay. Jenkins surveys the work of ga-lactic philosopher Oliver Reiser tooffer a scientific interpretation of howour solar system and the galactic planebecome aligned, and what possible ef-fects might result for life and con-sciousness on earth.

An inevitable question is, “Does ourchanging relation-ship to the greateruniverse mean any-thing?” Jenkins’ an-ticipation of thisquestion is fully de-veloped in GalacticAlignment, but thebasis for a responseto the question, heinsists, is that “whatis happening nowwas the centerpieceof many, many an-cient systems and an-cient philosophies,in virtually all of theworld’s traditions. Ifour own civiliza-tion—including ourscientific and relig-ious leaders—fails tosee any meaning inthis factual event,then we stand alone,divorced from theworld’s traditions that did.” ProfessorJocelyn Godwin of Colgate University,himself an author on esoteric subjects,sees value in exploring the 26,000-yearprocessional cycle (of which the ga-lactic alignment is the “completion”event) in terms of what it means. Hestates, “John Major Jenkins is the mostglobal and erudite voice of a swellingchorus of Galactic Center theorists. Byframing the subject in the context ofthe Primordial Tradition, he raises it toa new level of seriousness, and ofreassurance.”

Jenkins emphasizes that his workdoes not promote a new “system” or“model,” but offers a reconstruction oflost knowledge. And he notes that inretrospect his pursuits seem to havebeen guided by the initial inspiration ofhis original contact with the earth god-dess of his vision. He senses that“strings have been pulled behind thescenes” to help manifest his work,which is ultimately about the rebirth ofthe world. He says he finds the amount

of misunderstanding and misinforma-tion that is circulating “incredibly sad”and that, most of all, he wants his workto be an inspiration, to help people un-derstand more deeply ancient teach-ings about human transformation.

The Beginning is Near, theBeginning Is Near!

In many of the world’s major cul-tures of antiquity, the center of theMilky Way galaxy was conceived of asthe womb of the Great Mother god-dess, the source and center of manifestworlds, and the ultimate means of ourrenewal at the end of a historical“chapter.” The Galactic Center regionwas, to the Maya, a source-point orbirthplace. Because of this, Jenkins’early “rebirth” experience with the

boon-bestowing god-dess is especially

meaningful, becauseit led him so directly

into the work thathas been the revela-

tion of the wholemythic structure sur-

rounding the 2012astronomical timewhen the Sun willbe “re-birthed” in

the “womb” of theGreat Mother at thecenter of the Milky

Way. Jenkins feels itis especially impor-tant to understand

that 2012 indicatesan alignment process

and any expecta-tions should not be

focused on one pre-cise day. Neverthe-

less, 2012 has en-tered popular consciousness and canbe considered the end of a Great Yearof precession, of a death of the old andthe birth of the new—just as with theturning of the day or the lunar monthor the solar year. Our precessionaljourney around the great wheel of thezodiac is humanity’s 26,000-year gesta-tion period, and the birth-time is era-2012. As in all beginnings, new life isthe purpose, but there is always a pos-sibility of mishap or disaster if all is notin harmony with the force and magni-tude of the “rite of passage” known asbirth. Resistance vs. acceptance canlead to different results.

Questions naturally arise con-cerning what Jenkins sees on the ho-rizon between now and 2012. Jenkinseases his way into his response: “It maybe unpopular to say it, but it’s true:what 2012 was intended to target isnot about 2012; it is about a process-oriented shift. It’s about an open door,a once-in-a-precessional cycle zone ofopportunity to align ourselves with the

galactic source of life.” He points outthat there are forces already set in mo-tion “propelling us through a crucibleof transformation unlike anything ex-perienced in millennia… The soberingand humbling fact is that we are beingcalled to create, nurture, and help un-fold something that will not floweruntil long after we, as individuals, havedied. The larger life-wave of humanityis at stake.” And he reminds us of theNative American teaching to lookahead seven generations in order tomake wise decisions, and suggests thisshould also be our guiding maxim.

As to the 2012 date itself, GalacticAlignment does not point the compassof time to a cause-and-effect event, butto a higher process of spiritual transfor-mation (which can be intense and chal-lenging). If the 2012 date means any-thing specific it is more likely to be arally date for the traditional Mayapeople, whose calendrics designatedthe 2012 date as the end of a WorldAge, a truth deeply embedded in theircreation mythology. The Mesoamer-ican masterminds who wove togethermythology, political organization, re-ligion, and astronomy into one seam-less whole must surely have wantedthe modern Maya to understand and re-claim the greatness of their peoples’past achievements.

In his new book, Galactic Align-ment, Jenkins explores how the ga-lactic alignment is a central doctrine inglobal traditions. He finds it in Mith-raism, Vedic astronomy and the doc-trine of the Yugas, Islamic astrology,European sacred geography, Christianreligious architecture of the MiddleAges, and in various Hermetic tradi-tions. “For me, this means that the ga-lactic alignment wisdom of the Maya2012 end-date is at the core of evenWestern spirituality, and can unify tra-ditions that on the surface seem sovery different.”

One wonders how Jenkins sees thecore of his work, and what is next forhim. “The core? My ongoing relation-ship with Sophia, the higher wisdom.It was that vision in 1985 and my workwith the Tree of Life symbology thathave led me into these areas of explo-ration. The archetype of the GreatMother of renewal and wisdom is a re-curring motif that emerges in almost allof my books—even if I wasn’t intendingit at the outset! Overall, the core of thework is about healing, renewal, andopening up a little door at the end oftime that leads into a new world, anew cycle in the drama of humanunfolding.”

URANUS

This generation will be ultra-sensitive, more in tune with innerspace and less concerned with outertrappings or climbing the corporateladder. They will be a link between theoutgoing age of Pisces and the in-coming Uranus-ruled age of Aquarius.These children will facilitate the awak-ening of collective consciousness and

understand the unity of life. They cansuffer as a result of a great longing forthe world of spirit and a sense of im-prisonment in the world of form. Spiri-tual focus is important or there is a riskof escape into drugs, alcohol or othermind-altering substances to numb thisache.

Technology is bound to be affectedby this transit. The proliferation oftechnology during the transit of Uranusthrough Aquarius may develop intomental interfaces with computers. Thismay be the time where voice-activatedcomputers really come into their own,and the Star Trek feeling of having aconversation with a machine becomesa reality. Potential abuses may comefrom implanting computer chips inhuman beings. At the same time telep-athy and communication behind the

veils increases, the use of technologyfor noble or spiritual purposes will beaccompanied by secret files and po-licing of the Internet.

Revolution or Evolution?Revolution is Uranus’s middle name.

The purpose of Uranus in Pisces is tobring idealism to collective conscious-ness. Pisces holds the collectivethoughts of humanity, and this combi-nation holds the potential for truegroup consciousness. Uranus breaks upSaturn’s entrenched patterns and offersthe chance for more evolved forms.Most of us fall short of this potential inthe execution. Uranus acts to plant

idealistic seeds for the fu-ture which may require anentire cycle to germinate.We may see certain things

come to fruition whichwere conceptually

planted seventy-sevenyears ago.

The shift of Uranusinto Aries, the first sign of

the zodiac, in 2011 coin-cides with the closing of a

five-sun cycle in theMayan calendar, and willalso begin a new eighty-

four-year cycle for theplanet of awakening. Thisis an interesting juxtaposi-

tion of cycles where therevolutionary planet en-ters the sign of action at

the onset of a new 26,000-year cycle of precession.

If individuals or nationsbecome responsive to the

frequency of Uranus, aninner feeling of right ac-

tion becomes natural. In-tuition becomes a guidingforce and the mind learns

to trust these innerpromptings. This faculty

will become more valued and soughtafter. We may begin to choose leadersbased on their intuitive abilities.

What choices will we make nowand what consequences will we suffer?Will we replicate a pattern of uncon-sciousness and separation and beginanother “war to end all wars,” reapingthe consequences of what some con-sider, an ill-conceived act of aggres-sion? On the other hand, what is thehighest to which humanity can aspireright now? Religious tolerance? Newforms of free and clean energy?Cleaning up the environment? Uranus’spassage through Pisces offers the op-portunity to feel the consequences ofour choices for good or ill in thehuman race as a whole. The choice isup to us.

the general reader on a specialnumber—long considered to be

divine—that has obsessed mathe-maticians, philosophers, scien-

tists, and artists from antiquity tothe present day. What do the

petal arrangements in a red rose,the magnificent spiral shells of

mollusks, Salvador Dali’s famous painting, “Sacrament ofthe Last Supper,” the structure of our galaxy, and thebreeding patterns of rabbits all have in common? Hard tobelieve, but these very disparate phenomena all share incommon a special number of geometrical proportion—known as phi. Now in, “The Golden Ratio,” theoretical as-trohphysicist Mario Livio of the Hubble Space TelescopeInstitute traces for the general reader the fascinating,sometimes tangled, history of phi—1.6180339887—anever-ending, never-repeating, irrational number of geo-metrical proportion.

MOSES ANDAKHENATEN: TheSecret History of

Egypt at the Time ofthe Exodus

Ahmed Osman —A rein-terpretation of biblical andEgyptian history thatshows Moses and the Pha-raoh Akhenaten to be oneand the same. During hisreign, the Pharaoh Akhe-naten was able to abolishthe complex pantheon ofthe ancient Egyptian re-ligion and replace it with a single god, the Aten, who had

no image or form. Using recent archaeological discoveriesand historical documents, the author reveals the Egyptiancomponents in the monotheism preached by Moses aswell as his use of Egyptian royal ritual and Egyptian relig-ious expression. He shows that even the Ten Command-ments betray the direct influence of Spell 125 in the Egyp-tian Book of the Dead. Presented here is a radicalchallenge to long-standing beliefs concerning the originof Semitic religio; in fact, if Osman’s contentions are cor-rect, many major Old Testament figures would be ofEgyptian origin.

The quotation thus has fundamentalimplications for both history and theology because it ex-plains why the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenantwere constructed, why the biblical exodus started, whereMt. Sinai was located, who the god of the Israelites was—indeed, it even explains exactly who the Israelites reallywere and thus why the Torah, Bible and Koran werewritten P/B, color plates, 250 pages $16.95
