n 2005 Inner Traditions/Bear published Forbidden History, a collection of Atlantis Rising articles dealing with prehistoric technologies, extraterrestrial intervention and the suppressed origins of civilization. The book did so wellbecoming one of the publishers best-selling titles and already translated into several languagesthat in 2006 we all decided to do it again. With the publication of Forbidden Religion that spring, Atlantis Rising offered another collection of penetrating articles by some of the best writers in the business dealing with the suppressed heresies of the west. Once again the project was successful and like its predecessor soon appeared on the Inner Traditions best-seller list and was also translated into other languages. The inevitable question then became: whats next? We are happy to say that we can now answer that question definitively. In the spring of 2008 Inner Traditions/Bear will be publishing Forbidden Science. From ancient technologies to free energy, the new volume will include the best of Atlantis Rising on the true story of science and technology, as suppressed by the orthodox scientific community and its collaborators in government and the media. Forbidden Science will explore some of the less-traveled, even darkened, corridors beneath the shining edifice of academic science. In its pages you will find evidence that, no matter what the mandarins of the establishment would claim, the truth is not nearly so exemplary, or easily disposed of. You will learn of many controversial notions supposedly debunked by conventional argument, if, in fact, they have been discussed at all. But, from the true function of the Great Pyramid and the megaliths at Nabta Playa to Immanuel Velikovskys astronomical insight; from zero point energy and cold fusion, to Rupert Sheldrakes research into telepathy and ESP, we think you will see that the facts are something quite different from what you may have been led to believe. And, if, in the end, you ask yourself, just why is such material excluded from consensus thoughtindeed, why even its discussion has been virtually forbiddenthen you are asking the same difficult questions as are the authors of Forbidden Science. There is an organized war going on in science: materialistic (matter-based) theory versus anything that could be termed a belief system. Masaru Emotos research into the energetics of water, for example, although supported by impressive photographic evidence, has been scoffed at by mainstream science because Emoto has dared to assert that humans affect their surroundings with their thoughts. The absolute rejection of such notions by the scientific establishment is, it can be argued, detrimental to true scientific inquiry, nevertheless, it serves, conveniently, to preserve funding for its own safe projects, those that will not rock the established hierarchy or the accepted official consensus. This book serves as a compelling introduction to the true history of alternative New Science research, the kind which takes orthodox science either as a mere starting point or as entirely wrongheaded from the outset. Forbidden or not, these new lines of scientific research themselves bar no path to the truth. Contributors to Forbidden Science include the late Dr. Eugene Mallove, Jeane Manning, Dr. Robert Schoch, Walter Cruttenden, John Kettler, Cynthia Logan, David Lewis, Dr. Susan Martinez, even yours truly and many more. I do also, by the way, edit the book. Containing 43 essays by 19 researchers, as well as scores of pictures (many in color) covering cutting-edge, heretical, or suppressed scientific research Forbidden Science will be essential reading for anyone fearing that todays scientific establishment has lost its way.

to the newspaper accounts of that incident. Dr. Targ believes that Robertson, searching for a topic about which to write a novel, simply unknowingly accessed his future memory. (Robertson also wrote a story about a war started by the Japanese attacking U.S. forces in Hawaii!) To this I can only add, from personal experience, that I (along with some 30 others who had never done remote viewing) spent a weekend last fall with Dr. Targ, studying our abilities to do remote viewing. The results were, even on the average for all of us, well above the levels of probability for random success, and sometimes amazingly accurate. Bob Freedman Internet Consciousness can glimpse the future because those events have already happened as Idea, so their forthcoming reality is pre-
determined, thus readable. However, ego denies fates ordination and considers free will to be the essence of being. This delusion is key to egos rebellion against the cosmic plan, being a dupe of evil trained to think indulgence and extremity are progress against so-called need. Only by embracing fate can consciousness be in tune with the flow of time. That reality was firstly idea is positive because idea solved the questions of purpose and meaning with a flawless logic that enables everything which proves God is God. This everything seems to be a duality expressing good and evil, but enlightened consciousness sees beyond their common validity to the one resolution that makes appearances worthwhile. This omega is eternity. Idea has designed the cosmos to achieve eternal judgment, and reality merely follows through with the plan. It is not fate but ego which must be forsaken for truth to be understood. That fate is perfect and inviolate should be consoling, not threatening, because it means everything is important as a piece of the puzzle. Yet ego will no doubt try to manipulate time and bend it to its will; for as the pawns of evil, egos are vain and greedy, lacking the nobility and peace of mind to partake of Gods nature as beings who support the bigger picture, eternity, and its inevitable success as the real evidence witnessed by all souls which shall forever supplant chaos and doubt with its divine testament.

Greg Little, is it possible to find out more about this discovery of the ages? Or can anyone enlighten me about whats happening at Giza concerning this important find? There was an Early Ray tidbit that talked about giant gypsum crystals found in Mexico. The article indicates that crystals were used in early radios, but neglects to mention that those crystals were made of quartz, much different than the ones in Mexico. Still the discovery of 30' crystals of any mineral is pretty amazing! Another Ray: The Vatican Angel appears to be more like a fairy than an angel. Angels are creatures of indeterminant gender, while the figure in the photo has definite feminine breasts. Fairies, on the other hand, can be of any gender, but are usually only seen at night. So I figure the strong ray of light made the being visible in the dark Vatican. Either way, its a comforting photo. David Paulsen Keaau, HI Challenging Darwin That remark, Survival of the Fakest, (Scientists Challenge Darwin, A.R. #65) is a joke! Indeed! When I was in the science class at Michigan State University in the 1950s, the professor simply divided the class in two halves and assigned my half to defend religion and the other half to defend the science of evolution. Then he puttered around his desk, as if waiting for us to debate those two issues. After one minute of no talk, he then said, Well, if no one has anything to say on this, lets move on to the next subject. Page 42. And that was the end of it!! Moses Bernard North Las Vegas, NV Paranormal Politics I will tell you what makes it hard for paranormal investigators to seek out the truth. It is the fact that there are many hoaxers in the world. With this, there is a battle between the believers and the skeptics. This becomes Paranormal Politics. Skeptics scoff at paranormal investigators and claim we are performing pseudoscience investigations. Every time I hold up a temperature gauge looking for cold spots, I feel like Carl Sagan, one of the leading skeptics, is frowning and shaking his head at me. Carl Sagan has every right to frown. The hoaxers of the world have ruined true scientific investigation of UFOs, ghosts and even the Loch Ness monster. Cryptozoology almost went out the door when they found out the most famous Loch Ness Monster photo was a fraud. There are tons of fake UFO photos, such as the infamous John T. Scopes UFO photo. Yeah, throw a Wok in the air, snap some photos and claim the ship came from Venus. Weve all seen it all and hoaxers keep on hoaxing us. Who were those two crazy old men in England stepping on sticks, walking around in circles creating their own crop circles? I just wonder how they create over a thousand elaborate mathematically in-tune crop circles around the world? Theyre almost like Santa Clausthey can be anywhere at once, creating crop circles. But, of course the media ignores that. Just because these two old guys took the glory of creating crop circles, we now believe that all crop circles were made by them. I know, another great skeptic Barry L. Beyerstein is probably shoulder-toshoulder with Carl Sagan in heaven, looking down at me and saying...we told you that crop circles were fake! I look back up at Carl and Barry and say... I bet you are saying that heaven is fake too! But, its good we have our skeptics, because some believers believe too hard. That is why I salute The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry that takes a critical look at the paranormal and any fringe science and disseminates the factual information for release to the public. How many people remember how attorney William Weber confessed to the Amityville Horror hoax? With Weber, the motivation was money. How many people went and saw the Blair Witch Project movie, believing that the story was true? Yeah, they got you good. You spent your hard-earned dollars to watch a crummy homemade video movie and you bought into it. You were gullible and you were taken. My dad always said there was a fool born every day and there are a lot of fools out there. Sure, many skeptics scoff at ghost hunters, but they must realize that there are many ghost hunting groups made up of skeptics. When all reasonable explanations are dispelled, you are left with one thing, the abnormal, the paranormal. I have been through many investigations and sure, I heard the EVPs, I saw the videos/pictures of orbs, white mist and so on. But, I wanted more. I wanted to hear something with my own ears, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to see something with my own eyes. After so many investigations, it happened, I was touched, I have seen a full body apparition. Am I a believer? Yes, I am and I still seek out the truth. If humans on the Quantum level are made of atoms, then we are true energy beings. So why cant ghosts existarent they pure energy entities too? If we can maintain knowledge in our matter bodies, why cant we retain that knowledge in a more spiritual form? An aura surrounds our body at all times. Could that aura be our soul? When we die, could that aura be seen by others? Would they think that aura is a ghost? Seems pretty logical enough to me.

or crop circle aficionados eager to prove that the phenomenon is real and not just a concoction of hoaxerssuch as the notorious Doug and Davethere are few better opportunities than those which accompanied formation of the giant field design at Alton Priors, in Wiltshire, England on July 7 (7/7/ 07). Not only did the colossal pattern appear overnight but it did so while the entire area was under careful human and photographic observation. Even though the actual making of the intricate 1033-foot-long design of 150 perfect circles was not photographed, it appeared within a time window of no more than 105 minutes and was accompanied by a giant flash of light which caused a camera trained on the spot to stop functioning. In a copyrighted story with photos and interviews on her earthfiles.com web site, reporter Linda Moulton Howe tells how student Gary King, his girlfriend Paula PresdeeJones and filmmaker Winston Keech were drawn to the spot that night in hopes of catching circle-makers at work. Keechs light-sensitive cameras were optimized for low-light conditions and set to run continu-
ously. After determining that no crop circles, nor, in fact, any people were present, the three then became absorbed in conversation until interrupted by a great flash of light. At that moment, the tape from the infrared camera reveals what the observers believe was an electromagnetic pulse of some kind before going black. A few frames on the tape do catch some kind of energy spike. The other cameras unfortunately had run out of tape just before the flash, a fact which the group believes was known to whatever intelligence was behind the phenomenon. When next the three were able to observe the area an immense new crop circle had appeared. The dramatic new pattern was one of the largest ever seen, covering 2.25 acres. Interestingly, the circles compensate for the uneven shape of the ground so that they are seen from the air as perfect circles, something which earthbound hoaxers would be hard pressed to accomplish with unlimited time, to say nothing of a little less than two hours. As with many other such sites, this one was accompanied with strong odors and other unusual sensations.
onorganic cosmic dust, when held in the form of a plasma, in zero gravity will spontaneously form into helical structures like those in DNA, which, as we know, have the power to reproduce themselves. That recent discovery has a panel of scientists from Germanys Max Planck Institute, the Russian academy of sciences, and the University of Sydney speculating about the possible spontaneous appearance of alien life forms unlike anything we know. In a report published in the New Journal of Physics experiments on the International Space Station (ISS), 200 miles above the earth, are described which have produced such structures held together by electromagnetic forces which, it is thought, might have the power to reproduce themselves and ultimately to become intelligent, though not necessarily friendly, competition for life as we know it. The scientists are taking the results to be an indication that we should look
for life in forms far different than what we know. The American National Research council says we should start looking for weird life. But, while materialistic science perceives such an unexpected appearance of order as leading to random development which might go scarily awry, many who see the principles of sacred geometry operating universally are unsurprised by the effects discovered in the ISS experiment. To them life, as we know it, represents an optimum rather than randomdevelopment of the laws of proportion and harmony which guide the universe, and the great forcefields of the abyss display the same unifying principles as those in our little world. In other words, the evidence could be interpreted to mean that alien life, when we find it, may end up being more like what we know than what we dont, though there is certainly room for considerable variation.

Just what is appearing to Walsons camera is not settled at this point. His photos have been examined by astronomers and photographic experts in both the U.S. and the U.K. and while mystified by the origin of his images they profess, at the least, admiration for his photographic skills and amazement at his results. Gerry Gilmore, an astronomer at Cambridge University in England, and Henry Klein, a photographic analyst at Californias Jet Propulsion Laboratory, are among those who have congratulated Walson on his achievements in celestial photography. Others, it is claimed, have duplicated some of his shots, and, according to one unconfirmed report, the Cassini spacecraft photographed a structure near Mars which appears equivalent to one of Walsons images.

ime travel could be possible, says an Israeli researcher. According to Professor Amos Ori of the Technion Institute of Technology, it all depends on whether spacetime is flat or curved. Ori has developed a new theoretical model of a time machine and his work has been published in the scientific journal Physical Review. Time travel, says Ori, requires the spacetime structure be engineered appropriately, which he says is what Einsteins theory of
general relativity meant. Space-time can be flat, he argues, in which case you cant leave your present position, or it can be curved with various configurations which would permit travel back in time. In such an arrangement you would be able to go back to an event in which you participated. Whether the possibility of reliving events from ones own youth is sufficiently appealing to inspire further investigation remains to be seen.
he term China Moon may be about to take on an entirely new meaningat least if the folks in Beijing get their way. Chinas National Space Administration has announced plans to map every inch of the moon and they dont plan on wasting any time in the process. Whats the rush? As the British newspaper The Register put it, Theres Helium-3 in them thar hills. The Chinese government believes that the moon will provide for earths energy needs in the future. Though scarce on earth, the Isotope Helium-3 which is expected by many to be the fuel for future fusion energy production, is thought to be abundant on the moon. One shuttle load, it is said, could power the entire U.S. for a year.
Chinas announcement is but the most recent early signal of a rapidly accelerating race for energy resources which could make the gold rush of the 19th century look like kid stuff. Earlier this year, the Russians sent an underwater mission to the north pole to plant their flag and make a claim for oil which may some day may be retrievable from the polar regions. The Russians are also reported to be interested in lunar Helium-3 mining efforts. Chinas new lunar mapping campaign will begin with the launch of an unmanned rover by the end of this year. Another unmanned mission is set for 2010 with the first manned mission planned for 2012, just five years from now.

dare to imagine. Almost daily new discoveries falsify conventional theory: pyramids were being built in South America (Caral) as early as those in Egypt; the underwater (predeluvian) ruins of port cities are found near India (Dwarka) and in the Bahamas (see Greg Littles latest report on Lost Civilization and the Bermuda Triangle in this issue); the advanced knowledge of navigation and earth surveying in Britain (ley lines) and around the world (Piri Reis map) is millennia older than the so-called dawn of civilization etc. Never mind the geological dating of the Egypts great Sphinx to at least seven thousand years agoprobably much earlier. If history is any guide, though, the mainstream, will, as it has done before, eventually find its way to discovering the significance of much currently rejected evidence, which begs the question: where will the leading edge be by then?
ccording to Hindu legend the god Krishna built a city which was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels. Now archaeologists and Indian Navy divers are investigating underwater ruins at Dwarka on Indias western coast, said to be Krishnas city. The new efforts, it is hoped, will settle the debate currently raging over the age and authenticity of the site near the Samudranaraya temple. Divers have collected blocks and samples which will now be dated. Traditional Hindu scholars referencing ancient Hindu scriptures believe the location to be very ancient, originally built many thousands of years ago. Such notions are, of course, vehemently rejected by establishment scientists though they are willing to concede that there is evidence indicating an age of as much as 3500 years. Of course the date when the city was destroyed would be long after the date of its inception, so a definitive maximum date has not been established. The new study is expected to resolve some of the issues. Dwarka is among several coastal Indian sites now under investigation which show evidence of advanced development before sea levels reached their current height and thus provide significant evidence of pre-diluvian civilizationthe existence of which is denied by conventional archaeology.

n inventor whose reputation was ruined in the eyes of the 1950s public may yet be vindicated. When you dig into history of either free energy or saucer-shaped spacecraft, you run across the name Otis T. Carr. He was forced to call his invention an amusement device in order to get a United States patent. At least one researcher had told me about seeing a working model of the Carr invention, but ironically I threw out the notes about those stories while downsizing file boxes in July to fit into a smaller living space. Which brings us to the end of July 2007, the TeslaTech conference near Salt Lake City, Utah. One of the reasons I loaded my credit card to get there was the program list including people I hadnt encountered in many years. And it said a speaker named Ralph Ring had worked closely with Otis Carr. An intriguing article by Dr. Michael E. Salla, about Carr and Ring, in a recent Extraordinary Technology magazine was titled How the U.S. Government Suppressed the Worlds First Civilian Spacecraft Industry. After talking with Ralph Ring and the friend who accompanied him to TeslaTech, I agree with Dr. Sallas assessment and that of the web site ProjectCamelot (first to interview Ring). They conclude that Ring is 100 percent genuine, motivated simply to tell the truth about events of 50 years ago that could have revolutionized our lives. Tesla as mentor Ring starts his story with mention of inventor Nikola Tesla, who immersed himself in pristine natural surroundings during childhood as did Ring. During Teslas later years, Ring said, art student Otis T. Carr worked at the hotel where Tesla stayed, ran errands for the elderly genius and cherished their conversations. Since he was also a student of nature, Carr eagerly soaked up Teslas concepts. Ring reminds us that Tesla told his financial backer J. P. Morgan about ubiquitous free poweranyone would have access to power broadcast through the earth by Teslas proposed system. Industrialists had other plans, vast grids of copper wires and related electric- and transportation monopolies. They feared Tesla would ruin the monetary system in which they made their fortunes.

Notes from
Michael A. Cremo
www.mcremo.com
n the second week of August, my e-mail inbox started filling up with copies of newspaper articles, sent to me by my readers, about a new fossil find in Africa. Actually, one of the articles was sent to me by Doug Kenyon, the editor of Atlantis Rising. I took that as a hint he would like to see me devote a column to the story. So here goes.
A popular depiction of Homo habilis, the ape man with his bone weapon, in Stanley Kubricks 2001
Is the ancient apeman Homo habilis (lets call him Habs for short) a human ancestor or not? That is the question. According to scientists connected with the recent fossil find in Africa, the answer to that question is no. That is quite something, because for a long time, we have seen Habs taking his proud place in the line of little ape men that get progressively bigger and more humanlike in museum displays and textbooks all over the world. Probably those displays and textbook illustrations will remain uncorrected for a long time, but if the latest discovery is accepted, Habs no longer belongs in the direct line of human ancestors. What exactly is this new discovery? In 2000 (as reported in the August 9 issue of Nature), Meave Leakey and some other researchers found an upper jaw of Homo habilis east of Lake Turkana in the Kenya. The jaw turned out to be about 1.44 million years old. The most recent Homo habilis bones previously discovered were 1.65 million years old. That fit in nicely with the idea that Homo habilis gave rise to Homo erectus, who gave rise to modern humans. According to most researchers, Homo erectus emerged in Africa about 1.8 million years ago. So the new discovery shows that Homo habilis and Homo erectus coexisted for almost almost half a million years. And in the New York Times (August 9), Meave Leakey says, Their co-existence makes it unlikely that Homo erectus evolved from Homo habilis. But if that is true, what about the whole theory of human evolution? Scientists were quite defensive about the new discovery, which tends to show that evolution is on shaky ground and is in danger of losing whatever public support it still enjoys (Gallup surveys have shown the vast majority of the American people do not accept the theory of evolution as it is taught by its scientific proponents). In an Associated Press report by Seth Borenstein (August 9), Susan Anton, an anthropologist at New York University, said she thought antievolutionists would be mistaken to seize on the admission that the evolutionary link between Homo habilis and Homo erectus no longer exists. I think not. Anton added, This is not questioning the idea at all of evolution. Oh,

Continued from Page 18 Were Seafarers Living Here 16,000 Years Ago? In a Canadian archaeological project that could revolutionize our understanding of when and how humans first reached the New World, researchers in B.C. have begun probing an underwater site off the Queen Charlotte Islands for traces of a possible prehistoric camp on the shores of an ancient lake long since submerged by the Pacific Ocean.
http://www.canada.com/ victoriatimescolonist/news/story .html?id=34805893-6a53-46f5a864-a96d53991051&k=39922 yes it is, Susan. It is refining some of the specific points. Oh sure. Removing one of the major links in the human evolutionary chain is just a refining of a specific point! In a report from MSNBC.com (August 8), we find Bill Kimbel of the Institute for Human Origins at Arizona State University striking a similar note: All the changes to human evolutionary thought should not be considered as a weakness in the theory of evolution, Kimbel said. Rather, those are the predictable results of getting more evidence, asking smarter questions, and forming better theories. Well, lets look at the current state of affairs in human evolution. It is a huge mess. Some scientists think that modern humans arose once in Africa, and spread from there all over Eurasia, replacing all the other Neanderthals and Homo erectus populations already there. Another group of scientists says different groups of modern humans evolved separately from Homo erectus and the Neanderthals in different parts of the world, more or less simultaneously. Some scientists say that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals, and others say they did not. Some say that Homo habilis gave rise to Homo erectus, and now some say that Homo habilis did not give rise to Homo erectus. Going back further, some scientists say that Australopithecus gave rise to the genus Homo, and others suggest that another hominin, Kenyanthropus platyops (discovered by Meave Leakey) may have been the ancestor of Homo. In light of this, let me suggest something. If as scientists working with a certain theory find as time goes on that new evidence results in further and further complications and contradictions, one might consider that there is something wrong with the basic theory that humans evolved from more primitive apelike ancestors. Scientists are finding as they discover more and more fossils that the evolutionary picture breaks down, and instead we find more and more examples of coexistence. Many scientists used to think humans evolved from Neanderthals. Now most of them believe humans coexisted with Neanderthals. Many believed that Homo erectus evolved in a linear way from Homo habilis. Now they are saying the evidence shows that Homo habilis and Homo erectus coexisted in the period from about 1 to 2 million years ago. The basic pattern that emerges is one of coexistence rather than evolution. And if we really look at all the evidence, we find examples of fossils that show that humans like us coexisted in Africa with both Homo habilis and Homo erectus. In other words, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens were all coexisting. Let me give a few examples from my book Forbidden Archaeology (FA), in which you can find the detailed reports, complete with bibliographical references. In the year 1914 the German scientist Hans Reck announced the discovery of a fairly complete human skeleton, of modern type, in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (see FA, pp. 628-649). According to modern geologists, Bed II of Olduvai Gorge is from 1.15 to 1.7 million years old. This is within the age range for both Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Recks original report says the skeleton was found solidly embedded in the rock of Bed II, with no sign of intrusion from some higher more recent level. The skeleton was taken to a museum in Germany.

of the skeleton, except for the skull, was lost during bombing raids in World War II. In 1974, the German archaeologist Reiner Protsch published a radiocarbon age for a bone fragment he claimed was from the original skeleton. The age was about 16,000 years. There are three problems with this age: (1) it is not certain that the bone fragment really was from Recks skeleton, (2) the method Protsch used did not adequately take into account the problem of contamination of the bone with recent carbon, which would cause the test to yield a falsely young age, and (3) a few years ago, Protsch was removed from his position at a German university after it was shown that he had falsified dozens of radiocarbon dates over the course of his career.

Homo Habilis
In 1973, Richard Leakey published a report about two femurs (thigh bones) found at Lake Turkana in Kenya. Richard Leakey said in the science journal Nature (1973, vol. 242, p. 450) that the thigh bones (the ER 1481 and 1472 femurs) cannot be readily distinguished from from H. sapiens if one considers the range of variation known for this species. It was given an age of about 1.8 million years. In 1977, French researchers announced the discovery of a humerus (upper arm bone) at the Gombore site in Ethiopia. According to the report, the site was about the same age as lower Bed II at Olduvai Gorge (about 1.7 million years). This is within the date ranges of both Homo habilis and Homo erectus. B. Senut said in a paper published in the book Primate Evolutionary Biology (1981, p. 91) that the Gombore humerus cannot be differentiated from a typical modern human. Evidence for an anatomically modern human presence goes back even further in Africa. At Laetoli, in Tanzania, Mary Leakey found dozens of footprints arranged in three parallel tracks. In her original report, published in National Geographic (1979, vol. 155, p. 453) Mary Leakey said the footprints were exactly the same as ours, an opinion later confirmed by other researchers such as footprint expert Louise M. Robbins and physical anthropologist Charles Oxnard. In 1967, Bryan Patterson and W. W. Howells announced the discovery of a humerus (upper arm bone) at the Kanapoi site in Kenya. The bone was found in Pliocene lake sediments about 4.5 million years old. In a report published in Science (1967, vol. 156, pp. 6466), Patterson and Howells characterized the Kanapoi humerus as like that of a modern human being, a judgment later upheld by other researchers such as Henry M. McHenry and Robert S. Corruccini who said in a report published in Folia Primatologica (1975, vo. 23, p. 240) that the Kanapoi humerus is barely distinguishable from modern Homo. A final blow: There have always been some scientists who do not believe that Homo habilis deserves to exist as a taxonomic (hierarchically organized) species. For example, anthropologist C. Loring Brace said in a paper published in the book Primate Ecology and Human Origins, edited by I.S. Bernstein and E.O. Smith (1979): Homo habilis is an empty taxon inadequately proposed and should be formally sunk. T. J. Robinson argued that Homo habilis derived from a mixture of skeletal elements belonging to Australopithecus africanus and Homo erectus, according to Bernard Wood (Nature, 1987, vol. 327, p. 187).

A Previously Unheard Account from Beyond the Grave Reinvigorates the Roswell Case
BY JOHN KETTLER
auts supposed deathbed affidavit turns out, despite the recent sensational coverage, to not be quite what it seems. In reality, the affidavit was sworn and notarized five years earlier and was held by his attorney with instructions to release it only upon his death. Why it took two years more (Haut died in December 2005) is unknown, but his original stated goal was to fulfill a promise he had made to then Roswell Base Commander, Colonel William Blanchard, not to reveal certain highly sensitive experiences while Blanchard was still alive. It would appear that Haut erred on the side of caution and waited until he himself had left the scene to set the record straight and to provide what had carefully been left unstated in his public affidavit. The differences are major and highly significant. Indeed, they add some explosive new angles to the familiar Roswell story. The confirmation of ET bodies at Roswell is hardly new. Hauts swearing he saw them personally, though, is. The real shocker is that Haut explicitly describes the famous press release he wrote, the one which caused a global sensation in July of 1947, as a deliberate diversion and
coverup of something much more important than ET craft wreckage strewn on Mac Brazels ranch. A Tale of Two Affidavits According to Roswell researcher David Rudiak (http://roswellproof.homestead.com/ Haut.html) heres what really happened. Not only did Haut have an expurgated and unexpurgated version of his affidavit, but he also spilled the beans earlier privately in 1989 to Robert Shirkey, Sr., a good friend and the former Assistant Operations Officer at Roswell (attested by his son, Robert Shirkey, Jr.; audio clip at site) and also gave a lengthy personal oral history in 2000 to researchers Wendy Connor and Dennis Balthauser, people he knew well and could absolutely rely upon to keep their promise not to release the interview until he died. The 1993 Affidavit If we dispense with the boilerplate, Walter Haut basically says five things: 1) While serving as the PIO, Col. Blanchard called him, informed him of the existence of the flying saucer or parts thereof, origin, a ranch NW of Roswell, and that the Base Intelligence

SECRET GOVERNMENT
n March, the French National Space Agency announced, to much public fanfare, that it would release all of its UFO files. Following the French lead, Great Britains Ministry of Defense soon stated it would do the same. According to the British newspaper The Guardian, the government was planning to make public its own X-files on all UFO sightings since 1967. The disclosure is also supposed to include previously unreleased files on the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident. (Also know as Britains Roswell, the Rendlesham Forest Incident refers to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and objects in the sky, and the alleged landing of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, in December 1980, near Suffolk.) Of the documents due for release, many are eyewitness accounts from civilian pilots and military personnel covering many such incidents. Most reports were compiled and maintained by the DI55, a secretive intelligence unit within the Ministry of Defense. Even after a gesture of such seeming good will, however, many UFO researchers remain very skeptical about the value of the information said to be forthcoming. And for good reason, they believe. Previous official promises of full disclosure have led to only more outraged cries of controversy, conspiracy and coverup. The recent U.S. Air Forces purported declassification of documents on Roswell, it is recalled, quickly degenerated into a conspiracy-charged debacle. To gauge the reaction of the UFO community at large to new government overtures we talked to prominent researcher Stanton Friedman. Perhaps the worlds best known UFO researcher, Friedman has advanced degrees in Physics from the University of Chicago and almost two decades of professional experience as a nuclear physicist. Friedman has written books on the UFO phenomenon and was the first civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident. Since 1967, according to Wikipedia, he has spoken about UFOs at more than 600 colleges and universities and more than 100 professional groups in the USA, Canada, and 16 other countries. He currently lives in Canada. For Friedman, the newfound openness does NOT mean that new revelations can be expected. We wondered if he foresees any changes at all in current government secrecy policiesdoes he see these developments as of potentially historic import? We found him anySee Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74 on Page 74
thing but optimistic about the prospects. The significance of the move has been considerably overstated, he shrugged. The French files were not Defense department files; they were civilian files often compiled with the help of the local gendarmes. The distinction between civilian and defenserelated reports is crucial for Friedman, The U.S. Project Blue Book files, he explains, have been available for reviewabout 13,000 cases in allsince the mid 1970s. (Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of UFOs conducted by the U.S. Air Force. Started in 1952, it was the second revival of such a study. A termination order was given in December 1969, and all activity under its auspices ceased in January 1970.) Friedman elaborates, I refer people to the very important memo by General Carroll Bolender (project head) dated October 20, 1969 in which he stated, Moreover, reports of UFOs, which could
affect national security, are made in accordance with JANAP-146 or Air Force Manual 55-11. These are not part of the Blue Book System. In other words, the really important stuff remained secret. Friedman, of course, knows the material inside and out. There are few UFO-oriented documents, no matter how obscure, with which he is not familiar. He goes on to argue how the closing of Project Blue Book did not mean the Air Force was through with UFOs, just that it was through with those events which it deemed not important to national defense. In the second paragraph of the memo, he points out, after noting that with the closure of Project Blue Book, the public wont have a place to report sightings, General Bolender delivers a caveat to the ruling. However, as already stated, reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose. These reports have not been released. Blue Book was not on the distribution list for the work done under JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11, therefore those reports were excluded from release. The practical effect of all this is that any UFO encounter that the government considers a high security risk can be kept legally classified and buried under tons of bureaucracy beyond the reach of prying investigators. It is within the discretion of the military to decide which UFO sightings are to be investigated further and which of them it will dismiss, so, it seems the new document release plans have essentially changed nothing. Friedman concurs. I managed to locate General Bolender and asked him about the (Blue Book) memo. He knew exactly what he was saying. Obviously, the most impor-

HIDDEN HISTORY
The
tudents of history, religion, science and sociology can never forgive the destruction of some of the worlds most important libraries. The library at Alexandria once held 500,000 volumes before it was destroyed by Julius Caesar, and the library at Carthage with 200,000 volumes met the same fate after war with Rome. The Chinese Emperor Shi-Hwang-ti had all his kingdoms books burned in 214 B.C., and Mao revived this tradition in 1966. From ancient Pergamus to modern Germany, books and libraries have regularly come under attack. One of the greatest libraries, however, was saved at the last minute from destruction, only to be lost. Literally. In the middle of the fifteenth century the Ottoman Empire was spreading west, conquering everything in its path. It was only a matter of time before Constantinople itself would be invaded by the Asian hordes. Constantinople was nearly two thousand years old when the Turks threatened it. Founded by a Greek, Byzas, in 667 B.C., the city had survived an earlier catastrophe in 1204 when the Christian crusaders decided on looting the city as a dress rehearsal for conquering Jerusalem. The lesson, having been learned the hard way, was not forgotten. The greatest treasures of the city were to be protected at all costs. Sultan Mahomet II MARTINEZ, PH.D. BY SUSAN with an army of one hundred and fifty thousand men was on his way. Constantine XI had a force only one tenth of his enemy and this included his Genoese mercenaries. Defeat was just a matter of time. The niece of the emperor, Sophia Palaeologa, was hastily married to the young Ivan III who would soon become the ruler of Russia. Her entourage left the city and made it to Moscow via Rome. Her baggage included the treasures of the Byzantine and also the treasures of Constantinoples library. This was no ordinary library, and it may have been the greatest library outside the Vatican at that time. Chronicles preserved in Moscow state one hundred carts of rare books traveled overland. Books from Asia, Africa and Europe written in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin and Egyptian were part of the library. Early editions of Pindar, Polybius, Tacitus and Cicero were also part of the library, as were the poems of Kalvos, the works of Virgil and the Lives of the Twelve Caesars by Suetonius. Many were written by hand and were considered one-of-a-kind. Seven hundred books were editions bound for the emperors themselves and encrusted in jewels. The value of the library was then and now incalculable. Sophia (also known as Zoe) and her treasures made it to the safety of Moscow and her new husband via Rome. She also collected a handful of Italian artists and architects who would participate in the modernization of the Kremlin. One hope, that of uniting the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, the last vestige of the Roman Empire, with the Orthodox church of Russia was never achieved. There would be no theological union, and it would quickly be known there was no hope of a military union. And the fate of Constantinople was sealed. The troops of the Ottoman sultan would overwhelm the citys walls with cannon and The double-headed eagle sheer numbers. The Ottoman navy sur- became the Russian symbol rounded the port.

across the harbor, Mahomet had his ships put on rollers, pulled overland and re-launched at a point past the blockade. When the ships reached the inner harbor, cannons brought down the walls, and the massive military contingent entered the city on May 29, 1453. The culmination of a seven-week siege had the Ottoman leader hailed as Fatih (the Conqueror) as he rode on horseback into the Hagia Sophia, the greatest Church in the World. Massacre and pillage followed as Constantinople was converted into Istanbul, the capital of the Turkish Empire. The greatest church, one hundred and eighty feet tall, became a mosque and others were quickly constructed. The Eastern Roman Empire was no more. Moscow now became the head of the Orthodox Christian Church. A Russian Orthodox monk, Philotheos, declared Moscow the Third Rome. A New Home for Constantinoples Treasures One of Ivan IIIs most lasting achievements was to begin the building of the Kremlin into what it is today. In his time it was a three-hundred-year-old encampment built of wood. Standing tall it had turned back numerous assaults and the old-Russian word for citadel, kreml, served as the base of the modern word, kremlin. He took the 130-acre fortress and replaced wood with brick and stone. Much of the brick work that has survived until modern times is the original. The reason for the upgrade from oak to stone was that Sophia requested of her husband that the books she had brought from Constantinople be safe from the fires that regularly plagued the fortress. Cathedrals of wood and barracks and homes would burn from

Men with names like Tesla, Moray, Rife, Russell and Schauberger, laboring in almost complete obscurity, and achieving almost incomprehensible miracles--free energy, anti-gravity, transmutation of the elements, physical rejuvenation and more--were yet largely rejected, ridiculed and despised by the scientific establishment of their day. But now, a few decades later, a new breed of inventors, scientists and researchers is making rapid, if yet unpublicized, strides toward unraveling the secrets of those unsung giants who preceded them.

normal affairs to Tartar attacks, and the library needed to be safe from that threat. Another threat, voiced by her uncle, was that he believed the library was coveted by Rome and the Vatican. They had offered to buy the complete collection, and the emperor had turned the offer down. Would Rome use force? For this reason Moscow was chosen. Ivan went a step further and built the vaults of the Liberia as the library came to be known, underground. The Italian architect Ridolfo (Aristotle) di FioraIvan the vanti had the job of conTerrible structing the vault deep under the Kremlin. There were once believed to be three hundred underground tributaries of the Muscovy River. The architect would close off such waterways, then line the walls with brick. No one knows just how many rooms and tunnels exist in the labyrinth under the Kremlin. Meet the New Boss When Ivan III, (aka Ivan the Great) died, the rule of Russia passed to Ivan IV who is known to history as the Terrible. The word terrible actually once meant awesome, but Ivan was a terrible person even though his ability to rule was awesome. He detested the aristocracy of Russia called the boyars. For them he extended his underground city further. The labyrinth under the Kremlin now included prisons and torture chambers designed to break the power of these elite families. At first he targeted specific families that had neglected him. However, his cruelty went beyond the practical, and evil, growth of power. He even threw cats and dogs out of Kremlin windows. His secret police, the Oprichniks, grew more violent as their Czar became more unbalanced. Ivan was the first to take that title which is derived from Caesar. After stripping the boyars of their wealth he took to attacking his own population. The Massacre of Novgorad saw over thirty thousand Russians killed and the city nearly depopulated. He beat his daughter-in-law until she miscarried and then killed his son who had tried to stop him. Ivans reign of terror did not end until his death. In his last three years he had suffered from a horrific disease that bloated his features and caused him to emit ghastly odors. Most likely it was the result of poisoning, and the last person to see him alive was his adversary in chess, Boris Godenov, who was sus-
pected of finishing him off with more poison. While Ivan was losing his mind and finally his life, Russia was losing the knowledge of the librarys location. More important issues allowed the library to be nearly forgotten. Moscow itself would fall from importance when Peter the great czar and emperor modernized his country. Peter might have moved the library, if he found it, but despite a massive search the maze under the Kremlin defied even the Romanov emperor. The Search for the Lost Library Fast forward past the days of the czars to the time of the dictators and the library was still missing. Joseph Stalin wished to create one of the worlds greatest subway systems. The massive tunneling which is today evident in the endless escalators that seem to descend to the earths core was done with care in the hopes that one of the secret rooms of the library would be uncovered. Over one hundred subway stations, many decorated with artworks, are connected by miles of track stretching throughout the city. But none penetrated the Liberia of Ivan III as the library became known. Even a secret subway designed to protect the rulers and generals never uncovered the treasures of the Byzantines. As Moscow improved its infrastructure, numerous underground levels were built. While no one knows for sure, in some places it is believed there are as many as twelve. Subways, water tunnels, a sewage system, and the passageways that are long forgotten have never been mapped. Nikita Khruschev, in the 1960s brought about even more development under the Kremlin. He further extended the subway system and may have merged the secret subway with the public metro, although not all of it. The Arbatskaya station is just under the ministry of Defense and secret doors are always under active guard. While many stations are beautifully designed and appointed with artwork, no photographs are allowed. Tourists are warned that even if they think they can sneak a photo or two, they will not get away unseen. Khruschev, too, wished to uncover the famed library. He instructed the project managers to take all steps necessary to locate and preserve with care the library of Ivan. But despite his instructions, all the dictators men could not uncover what the czars men covered. In the 1990s the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov renewed the hunt for the library. One of the hopes of the search was possibly to open the underground for tourism. Visitors to the Kremlin are often rudely awak-

ALTERNATIVE SCIENCE
What Can 21st Century Science Learn from the Pioneers of Psi Research?
BY ROBERT M. SCHOCH, Ph. D.
Glory to the Hero (Nicholas Roerich)
hile on a mission to meet with the French King Henry the Fourth, the cleric and poet John Donne (1572-1631) had a vision. He saw his wife carrying a dead child in her arms. At the time his wife was pregnant, and Donne was so taken by the incident that a messenger was dispatched to England to check on his wife. Unfortunately, it was learned, Donnes wife had gone into labor and delivered a stillborn, and this occurred on the same day and, as far as could be determined, around the same hour that Donne saw the apparition. Somewhat apologetically this story is related by Donnes biographer Izaak Walton (1593-1683). This is a relation that will beget some wonder, and it well may; for most of our world are at present possessed with an opinion, that visions and miracles are ceased. And, though it is most certain, that two lutes being both strung and tuned to an equal pitch, and then one played upon, the
other, that is not touched, being laid upon a table at a fit distance, willlike an echo to a trumpetwarble a faint audible harmony in answer to the same tune; yet many will not believe there is any such thing as a sympathy of souls; and I am well pleased, that every Reader do enjoy his own opinion. (Izaak Walton, 1640) Indeed, although such a story may to this day beget some wonder, similar incidents have been recorded over and over again. Such cases are encountered throughout the annals of history and are found among all cultures and societies, savage and civilized, oriental and occidental. But, do they have any significance and meaning? Are they simply to be dismissed as chance coincidences or faulty reporting combined with perhaps overly vivid imaginations? In order to address these types of questions systematically and scientifically, in London in the year 1882 was founded the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). One of the first tasks of the SPR was to collect cases
similar to the one recorded for John Donne. But the SPR did not simply scour the literature for cases; it actively sought out then recent cases (primarily from the 1870s and 1880s) that could be well documented. They interviewed witnesses and checked and crosschecked facts and data to ensure, to the best of their ability, that they were not being duped by fabricated stories (whether purposefully or simply due to faulty memories). In 1886 the fruits of their labors up to that point were published as a massive twovolume work titled Phantasms of the Living (by E. Gurney, F. Myers, and F. Podmore). The title of this work bears some explanation. The core of Phantasms is a collection of crisis apparitions or crisis hallucinations (sometimes referred to as cases of crisis telepathy) that occur to a receiver or percipient in conjunction with a crisis situation, often death, near death, or some other very traumatic incident such as the stillborn child in John Donnes case, on the part of the agent or sender. The authors of PhanSubscribe or Order Books, DVDs and Much More!
tasms interpreted such apparitions to be veridical (carrying true information) hallucinations formed in the mind of the percipient based on information telepathically communicated from the agent, often at the approximate moment of death (although the telepathic message might be received in the subconscious of the agent, and remain dormant or latent for a period of time, before being brought to the conscious realm). The word phantasm, etymologically related to phantom, refers to any such apparitions or hallucinations. As used in Phantasms, the term hallucination could refer to a visual hallucination, an auditory hallucination, an olfactory hallucination, a tactile hallucination (such as the feeling of being punched or brushed against), or even what might be called emotional or ideational hallucinations and impressions (suddenly feeling sad, or the idea enters ones head that a friend or family member is in trouble or just died). The title of the work, Phantasms of the Living, stresses the notion that living persons transmitted the telepathic messages catalogued in the work. Phantasms includes 702 cases plus analyses of the common characteristics and patterns found among them. Perhaps most importantly, Phantasms includes a statistical analysis that strongly supports the argument that all of these cases cannot be the result of chance coincidence. The primary author, Edmund Gurney, based on surveys of thousands of people, takes into account such factors as how often people simply hallucinate
an apparition; how often a relative, friend, or acquaintance will die; what the chances are that the death and hallucination will coincide; and so forth. In the end, he develops a very powerful argument that the vast majority, if not all, of the cases meticulously recorded in the two volumes must have meaningful significance. To this day Phantasms sets a standard, and stands as a valuable collection of raw data, for the study of this aspect of the paranormalapparent mind-to-mind communication between individuals; that is, telepathy. Subsequent studies have served to support
and complement the findings published in Phantasms, including a Census of Hallucinations, based on surveying 17,000 people, published by the SPR in 1894. It is important to note that arguably the data on crisis apparitions collected in the nineteenth century could never be duplicated today. Much of this data was compiled before the widespread use of means of quick communication, such as telephones and telegraphs. So when a soldier stationed in India hallucinated one night that his grandmother, who was in England, was standing at the foot of his bed, he had plenty of opportunity to mention this hallucination to friends (who could then independently verify his story) before receiving a letter, perhaps a week or two or a month later, announcing that his grandmother had died that night. In our day of virtually instantaneous communication, we immediately question anyone who claims to have had a hallucination prior to learning of her or his grandmothers death. Even if such a story is given in good faith, it can easily be argued that the percipient is confused as to the timing of the hallucination and the time when the news of the death was received. Crisis apparitions, as collected in Phantasms, are examples of a class of spontaneous psi. Psi is a general term that encompasses two aspects of the paranormal as typically studied by psychical researchers and parapsychologists (the two terms are

ANCIENT SCIENCE
id you know that earthquakes occur in cycles? Scientists, charting the intensity of seismic upheavals since the 17th century, have come upon cluster years marking the most destructive quakes. Regardless of locationChina, Italy, western Pacificthere is a definite peak period, every eleven years. Interesting that the earths thermosphere also obeys an 11-year rhythm in its variation from 700 degrees C (at low point) to 2000 degrees (at high point). And in the same vein, the great auroras painting the polar skies give their most lavish displays every eleven years, at which time they may be seen as far south as Athens or Mexico City. Peak-time auroras have been linked, in turn, to unusual weather patterns. There are important changes also over a period of about 11 years in solar radiation. Indeed, the sun itself changes its polarity from north to south every eleven years: magnetic reversalor what I call oscillation. The price of wheat, for that matter, seems to fluctuate on an 11-year pattern, as well as cyclones over the oceans, thickness of tree rings, number of icebergs, vintage years for Burgundy wines, the level of Lake Victoria, not to mention all sorts of variations in human behavioreverything from blood pressure to mass migrations. I know what youre thinkingsunspots. The 11-year cycle. And, yes, all these surges do correspond to sunspot maxima. But how
could these blotches on the suns disc, these bruises or pox93 million miles awaybe the cause of dramatic changes on the earth? Lets just backpeddle a moment to consider the possibility (and likelihood) that these spots are not fixed on the sun at all. For one thing, they have magnetic fields over them: Ahaplanets! Not spots. Isnt it evident that planets (of all different shapes and sizes) orbiting in the suns photosphere may appear dark? Elsewhere in the solar system are dead planetsmillions of them, worlds whose light has gone out, slowmoving and lacking radiation. They cannot be seen, yet some of them may eclipse the sun or be taken for sunspots, even though they may be less than a million miles from the earth. Closer still, not too far above planet Earth, are dark nebulae, cloudlike, which can also blemish the suns face, to earth eyes. Certainly dear old Galileo deserves credit for finding and tracking these dark regions, with his newly perfected telescopeand-screen apparatus. But fixtures on the solar orb? scattered over the face of the sun like acne? I dont think so. One theory even argues that two-sunspots-in-a-pair are connected by a U-shaped bridge of material beneath the suns surface! It is even harder to picture these blemishes as: intensifying the suns heat; throwing out supercharged particles to the earth; effecting our short-wave radio transmissions; ionizing the atmosphere and triggering geomagnetic storms and precarious currents in the earths crust.
Have you noticed that Earth Science, despite its modernity, bows to the sun-worship of old, attributing every unknown factor on the terrestrial sphere to the solar king? Solar wind, for example, solves all, just as it is presumed to push sunspot effects to the very surface of our planet. But why should the suns scars be doing all these mighty things? Especially if the spots are, as some scientists note, regions of reduced efficiency in relation to the rest of the suns surface, i.e., about 1700 degrees C cooler than the surrounding photosphere. And if these spots are indeed nothing more than passing nebulae or dead planets, it seems even more absurd to assign them the far-reaching effects unanimously attributed to sunspots and solar flares. If we relax for a moment to entertain the possibility that sunspots are not the cause of anything, that they are in fact an optical illusion, we can at least award them a consolation prize as heralds of one of natures grandest regularities: the 11-year cadence, the periodicity so basic to cosmic rhythms. Sometimes dropping to nine years or swelling to 13 years, the inexorable cycle nonetheless hugs the basic eleven and seems to have been a recognizedeven revered unit of Natures clockwork long before telescopes or fancy computer models. If there is such a thing as sacred geometry, we might be tempted to embrace eleven as a prime number. Considered first of the master numbers in numerology, eleven

Dolmens in stone circles sometimes run to eleven in number; just as team size (football, soccer, cricket, etc.) defers to a classic eleven; its dignity is further suggested by the eleven guns fired in standard military salute (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines). The Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece gave the town of Eleusis, northwest of Athens, its name: var. Elefsis, lit., devised of eleven. At this celebrated shrine, the earth goddess Demeter inspired rites and initiations of the highest order; even the Christian Cicero praised their pagan mysteries: They have sweetened our character and softened our customs; they have made us pass from the condition of savages to true humanity.

A thousand years before the myth of Demeter and her Mysteries reached Greece, Rules of the Seasons of the Earth were known and codified by the initiated in the land of the Nile.

THE ET FACTORY
e reported in Part I (The Nazi/ ET Connection, Atlantis Rising #65) that, strange as it might sound, the case could be made that German advanced scientific knowledge and weaponry was supplied by extraterrestrials somehow connected with a purported underground civilization in Tibet. Exactly how this information was conveyed is not clear, but some argue that the connection was established through the mediation of Karl Haushofer, and that a group of monks from that underground Tibetan city came to live in Berlin to assist with Hitlers war plans. They were, reportedly, known as the Society of Green Men. There is some evidence to suggest that this situation evolved to the point that aliens were actually working shoulder-to-shoulder with German scientists. Hitler envisioned a New World Order to last a thousand years. With the help of architect Albert Speer he designed grandiose buildings and monuments to accommodate his new one-world Aryan civilization, to be supported by the slave labor of the inferior races. However, it now seems that this reputed alliance with extraterrestrials was a marriage of convenience, since apparently they had a similar goal and, indeed, may have been using Hitler as some kind of straw man to facilitate their intended takeover of the planet. If all that is true, it puts the European war in a totally new lightjust one piece in an elaborate worldwide campaign of alien design, which included the participation of Japan in order to control the seas. From this perpective, the outbreak of World War II can be viewed as a push by the

extraterrestrials to impose a fascist dictatorship of the entire planet, under their control. If that is the case it appears that the planning may have begun in the early years of the 20th century, and that Hitlers rise to power was coordinated with Mussolinis in Italy and the emergence of Hideki Tojo in Japan. Such a scenario would help to explain many strange similarities between the three fascist movements, especially the militarization of the governments, and the imposition of elaborate and sophisticated propaganda machines. Propaganda, after all, is nothing more than a form of national mind control, and we suspect that the aliens are very skilled in these techniques. Cloned Storm Troopers? At the close of World War I in 1919, under the terms of the Versailles Treaty, Germany was allowed to keep only 100,000 men in the army and 15,000 in the navy. They were not permitted to have submarines or military aircraft. This situation remained ba-
sically stable for the next 14 years until Hitler came to power in 1933 and then, in March of 1935, instituted conscription and renewed military training in open violation of the treaty. To achieve the extravagantly ambitious goal of world conquest, Germany would need a bright new army of young, ruthless, efficient, well-trained storm troopers numbering in the millions. In 1933 that seemed like an impossible dream, since the army then consisted mainly of 100,000 aging, dispirited veterans of WWI, and some raw recruits. It seemed especially hopeless in view of the depressed economic conditions in Germany at that time. Yet, in September of the very next year, six months before conscription began, at the Nuremberg Nazi Rally of 1934, 160,000 stalwart German soldiers with backpacks and rifles stood silently at attention in precise ranks as Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and SA chief Viktor Lutze walked down the wide center aisle towards flaming

land. Interestingly, a bronze statuette from Northern Iceland (National Museum of Iceland, Reykjavik) of Thor with his hammer, circa 1000, portrays him wearing a conical hat virtually identical to the headgear worn by male figures depicted at the white stone of Ontarios Petroglyph Provincial Park. Mjoellnir was not merely a symbol for meteorological events, however. The gods of Valhalla (the Aesir) proclaimed it the single most valuable object they possessed, and its likeness appears to have been reproduced by Viking shamans to hallow marriage rites, to bless the recently departed souls of the dead at funerals and to consecrate newborns into the community. Mjollnirs image was inscribed on a Swedish tombstone at Stenqvista. It thus resembles a higher symbol of the birth-death duality not unlike the sacred Double-Headed Axe of the Bronze Age, par-
ticularly as realized in Minoan Crete. In a particularly revealing myth of Thor and his Hammer, he restores the dead to life through the potency of its magic. As the Norse specialist, Ellen Davidson, writes, It would seem indeed as though the power of the thunder-god, symbolized by his Hammer, extended over all that had to do with the well-being of the community. It covered birth, marriage and death; burial and cremation ceremonies; weapons and feasting; traveling; land-taking and the making of oaths between men. The famous weapon of Thor was not only the symbol of the destructive power of the storm and of fire from heaven, but also a protection against the forces of evil and violence. But Thors Hammer is not the only stone structure of its kind in Canada. During August 1972, Dawn French took up residence in the small town of Pushthrough, an outpost thirty miles west of Bay du Nord, on the south coast of the island of Newfoundland. While there, she heard strange tales of the legendary Stone Cross, a structure supposedly venerated by the local Micmac Indians for centuries before the arrival of modern European immigrants. No one had actually seen it and its whereabouts were unknown. Curious to learn more, French studied the native traditions, which described a sacred precinct, lonely and barren, where people in need of healing would find a large, unusually shaped cross spread out on the ground. It was the site of supposedly miraculous cures, but, over time, with the advent of the white mans medicine, the place was abandoned to myth. The Micmacs are an interesting people. Their name means Allies, a reference to the confederacy of clans they formed and led, thus becoming the largest and most important native tribe in Canadas eastern Maritime Provinces. A seasonally nomadic people, the Micmacs Algonkian dialect differs greatly from that of their neighbors, and has some suggestion of Scandinavian cognates. Their possible linguistic links to Medieval Europe are underscored by what appear to be Nordic recessive gene traits among the Micmac (recurring blondness) and especially by the discovery at the islands northern extreme of

ALTERNATIVE ARCHAEOLOGY
Editors Comment In the first eighteen issues of Atlantis Rising we serialized, in graphic novel style a story called The Atlantis Dimension. Based on a screenplay originally written in the early 1980s by editor Doug Kenyon (in collaboration with artist Tom Miller), the story recounted the adventures of a group of contemporary characters who discover the ruins of Atlantis beneath the waters of the socalled Bermuda triangle. The action is driven by ancient events on Atlantis which unfold in the lives of the principal characters today, who are, in fact, Atlanteans reincarnated. There is plenty of action, ancient technology, underwater archaeology, treachery in high places, and nature turned very bad. Long since those early issues, this publication has established an identity transcending the themes of that story, but it is possible that, had we not originally chosen to publish that screenplay, Atlantis Rising magazine might not have been even launched. It should surprise no one, then, that we continue to emphasize the possibility of underwater Atlantean remains in the Bermuda triangle. Over the years, we have watched for developments which reinforce the plausibility of our scenario, and there have been more than a few. Even the building of the world famous Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in Bahamas echoes a key story element of ours written over ten years before the fact. The name Paradise island, for example, was used in connection with a similar Bahamas resort development, in what we thought at the time was an entirely fictitious way. For most who follow the subject of Atlantis in the Bahamas, though, the story focusses on the famous prophecy by Edgar Cayce, made in the 1920s, that the ruins of Atlantis would ultimately be rediscovered in the Bahamas. We could, he declared, expect the reappearance to begin in the late 1960s. When University of Miami scientist Dr. Manson Valentine located an apparent underwater pavement near Bimini in 1968 the Cayce prophecy made headlines. In the ensuing excitement researchers and media types from all over the world flocked to the area. The hoopla was short-lived though. The experts soon pronounced the Bimini Road nothing more than ordinary beachrock, hardly worth a second look. Very soon, anybody who dared to treat Valentines discovery, or Cayces prophecy, seriously was laughed off the stage. And there the matter has been put to rest. Or has it? As regular readers of this magazine know, archaeologists Drs. Greg and Lora Little, William Donato and other researchers working primarily on behalf of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), the Virginia-Beach-based Edgar Cayce organization, have continued to track the evidence, wherever it might lead, and

have produced some startling results. Not the least of their discoveries is that the so-called debunking of the Bimini Road discovery is itself a virtual hoax. Greg Little reported the entire matter in AR #57 (See Exposing a Skeptical Hoax). In their considerable studies the Littles have turned up extensive evidence that the location once served as a busy seaport, and did so long before sea levels approached their present heightin other words, thousands of years before humans are believed to have been capable of such highly organized effort. Moreover, Greg Little demonstrates, conclusively, that the conventional view, usually presented in the media, is based upon many false representations of the actual facts. The significance of the Bimini Road discoveryestablishing as it does the existence
of anomalous prediluvian civilizationis difficult to overstate. That, however, is, apparently, only the beginning of the story. The Littles and their associates have continued to bring to light many astonishing artifacts throughout the area, particularly at Andros island which are throwing conventional thought, if not into the trash heap of history, into, at the very least, confusion. The following report filed with Atlantis Rising by Greg Little summarizes the latest work:

ovember 2006Bimini SideScan Sonar Project A November 2006 expedition conducted a side-scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling project at Bimini utilizing an underwater exploration company. Archaeologist Bill Donato organized and conducted this project with support from the A.R.E. The side-scan sonar off west Bimini was done in a large rectangular area roughly two by five miles. The computerassisted sonar yields bottom images that are similar to an aerial photograph showing contours and details of whatever may be on the bottom. While sunken ships, cargo, and unusual formations were found by this huge project, one finding, in particular, caught Donatos attention. It was a series of uniform, consistently oriented, rectangular structures at a depth of 100 feet. Over a dozen of these building-sized formations were found by the sonar. They ranged in size from 5-20 feet by 10-25 feet. An effort was immediately made to dive to these sites; however, strong bottom currents made reaching them impossible. It is now known that the sea levels at Bimini in 10,000 B.C. were about 110 feet lower than today, so the presence of these rectangular formations at 100 feet was intriguing, to say the least. (Note that these were refound and inspected in June 2007, which is described later.) May 2007Andros Exploration Drs. Greg & Lora Little made a weeklong expedition in May to North Andros with Bahamas boat/dive operators Krista and Eslie Brown. The purpose of this trip was to conduct a wide, systematic survey of the Great Bahama Bank and explore the small islands just north of Andros. An aerial survey of a portion of the Great Bahama Bank was taken on the way to Andros to locate several intriguing dark features that had been previously seen from the air, but never directly investigated. Several of these features were found and the GPS coordinates of them were taken by the plane. All of these were then visited by boat.

interesting dark features found on the Bahama Bank, dubbed the tee and ball by Lora Little, consisted of a several-hundred-foot-long dark formation shaped like a massive golf tee with a round dark ball at its top. It is located about 25 miles offshore. Found in an area where the seabed is white sand, the black formation on the bottom is formed primarily from dense turtle grass. These grassy areas are heavily populated by a wide variety of fish, turtles, and sharks. The ball next to the tee had a boat trailer dumped in it along with several huge tires. This type of dumping is done by Bahamas fishermen to increase the cover for fish. However, the long tee consisted of a line of scattered stone blocks, which allowed the buildup of turtle grass. The blocks are far too large for ship ballast and were not dumped into piles. All of the dark features on the Great Bahama Bank are in depths of 20-30 feet of water. Two other dark formations on the Bank were also found to be formed from stone slabs. These also were far too large to be ballast stone for ships; however, all of them, including some that were elevated into large piles, were covered by a considerable amount of sand. More investigations of these dark features on the Great Bahama Bank are described later. Andros Shoreline Investigations Several miles of the shallow shoreline along North Andros were examined with a remote underwater video camera pulled by a cable on the boat. This revealed an area where massive slabs of stone were found to be lying on the bottom just off 50-foot-high sheer stone cliffs that are pounded by wave action coming off the deep Tongue of the Ocean trench running along east Andros. A series of land expeditions, conducted with descendants of Seminole Indians who fled to the Red Bays area of Andros starting in the 1820s, were made. A curious dolmen-like formation was found in the pine jungle several miles from Red Bays. About a dozen caves, some of them quite large and deep, were explored. In addition, we became interested in three crashed plane remains we found. This is also described in a later section. Discovery of the underwater Joulters Wall Numerous interviews with local residents of Andros were made. One resident told us about a huge, underwater wall that was located in shallow water on the small chain of islands known as Joulters Cays, about 7 miles North of Andros. Joulters is completely uninhabited, and data obtained during the past 20 years has shown that

ight off the bat, Ken Eagle Feather tells me hes not Native American, but is white as wonder bread. The name was given to him by don Juan Matus, the same don Juan encountered by Carlos Castaneda of The Teachings of Don Juan, A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan fame. He had it legally changed in the 1970s, during the time he was actively engaged with the controversial figure. The argument as to whether don Juan is or was a real person has spilled over into academia big time, states Eagle Feather. Claims that Castaneda himself was a fraud and that his Ph.D. in anthropology from UCLA had been revoked were put to rest when Eagle Feather telephoned the university, which assured him the bestowal is still intact. His own opinion is that Castaneda may well have been the Copernicus of our time. Self-described as a silverhaired rascal, Eagle Feather asserts that he met and was apprenticed to don Juan, and that he was given the instruction to study Castanedas books (they contain a sophisticated worldview to focus energy, as well as disciplines and techniques to harness energy) and present the Toltec teachings within them from a different perspective. He spent 16 years poring daily over the material, adding another two years of intermittent study that included other esoteric writings and the worlds sacred texts. Eagle Feathers first book, Traveling with Power, explained his encounter with don Juan and basics about the path revealed. His second, A Toltec Path (republished ten years later as On the Toltec Path) describes the overall structure of don Juans teachings. He then wrote Tracking Freedom for good measure, to consolidate and synthesize Toltec teachings with other systems of learning. Since Eagle Feather feels he has moved beyond that identity (Ken Eagle Feather has flown away) and is now writing under his given name, Ken Smith, lets call this fifty-something author Smith from here on. Its easy, and reflects the mans focus on
conveying his understanding to the ordinary person. And how ordinary can you get? he asks, chuckling at the simplicity of his new name. In an upcoming title, hell do away with the somewhat cumbersome terminology in his current book, Toltec Dreaming, which illuminates don Juans teachings on the energy body. A hefty topic, admits Smith, who says the energy body includes not only the physical [body] but all the various bodies thought to exist in other traditions. While the Taoists gave us the meridian system and yogis developed the chakra model, this concept and the mapping out of its anatomy is the unique contribution of the Toltecs. (The Toltecs are thought to have ruled central Mexico between 3,000 - 7000 years ago. Though masterful in the control of energy, the old order grossly misused such abilities.) According to Smith, Castaneda built a bridge between the old and modern (circa mid-1700s C.E.) lineages. Don Juan is part of a specific line dating to 1723 and is dedicated to using extraordinary capabilities only for positive purposes. He also thinks drugs warp personal energy and should be used rarely, with caution and reverence, and only if meditative exercises fail. The whole gig of being human, according to don Juan, is that we are luminous creatures. As such, our natural function is that of being aware, of perceiving. The metaphysical philosophy known as the Toltec Way deals with the nature of reality, including how reality is perceived, formulated and experienced, writes Smith. Its philosophy of action and behavior superimposes on the waking world the subtle physics of the dream world in order to create a conscious dreaming body that, when fully realized, can act as a vehicle to higher consciousness. The energy (dreaming) body has eight cornerstones of perception which, when diagrammed look somewhat like the Kabbalist Tree of Life. Realities are created and congealed as patterns (termed cohesions by Smith) within this body. Often culturally constructed, a particular reality determines what you think

This isnt a description, by a Japanese survivor, of the atomic bomb exploding over Hiroshima in August 1945, though it sounds like one.

The description appears in The Last War: A World Set Free, a novel published by founder of science-fiction H. G. Wells in 1913. In The Last War Wells also provides a detailed description of an artificially induced chain reaction, calling this process a disease of matter. Not until the early 1930s did any scientist think such a thing might be possible. In The War in the Air, a novel published in 1908, the English novelist/social prophet had proven equally prescient.

Then I was moved to urinate and found myself staring at a chamber pot half full of scarlet blood. That was the most dismaying moment in my life. I did not know
what to do. I lay down again and waited for someone to come. Wells seems to have lost consciousness for the next few hours. Nothing very much was done about me that evening, but in the night I was crawling along the bedroom on all fours, delirious, seeking water to drink. The next day a doctor was brought from Wrexham. He discovered that my left kidney had been crushed. No one expected H. G. Wells to live. But the future author, languishing in bed for many days, finally began to recover. He returned to work, but started coughing blood again. Tuberculosis was diagnosed. This disease, and its complications, was to dog him for the rest of his life. During the first days of his illnesswhen he almost died did Wells have a near-death experience that revealed the future to him? Nowhere in all of his voluminous writings does he tell us that anything of the sort hapH. G. Wells pened. But Wells wrote two short stories that seem to describe near-death experiences, the second in startling detail. In The Truth in the Light: An Investigation of Over 300 Near-Death Experiences (Berkley Books, 1995), authors Dr. Peter and Elizabeth Fenwick polled several hundred near-
death experiencers (NDErs) to find out what happened after they got beyond the experiences of the white light and the glowing tunnel. One quarter of the responders said they had been left standing at the entrance [to the afterworld], but prevented from going in by some kind of barrier, a point of no return. Sometimes the barrier was psychological; other times it was physical, such as the low green trellis fence, reported in one case, or the wrought-iron gatea tall church window-shaped gate, reported in another. The other-worldly entities on the other side of the barrier often appeared in groups of three. One responder encountered three young Indian men...young Indian princes, or rajas; another stood before three old Chinese men who all had long white beards and who also wore white robes. Often only the middle entity faced the experiencer directly. The Fenwicks found that the well-known NDE life review often contained tantalizing glimpses of the experiencers future. One interviewee, arriving at a church, observed two large trestles, each with a book resting on them. A spirit guide flicked through the pages, which were blank, then stated: This will be your life if you go back. The empty pages suddenly filled up. Though conflicted by what he saw, the responder decided he had no choice but to return to life. In 1995, the same years as the Fenwicks

swallow all of its children in due course. A deeper interpretation of this interwoven symbolism might be that attainment of the stone of the wise, shown by swallowing the stone which he thought was Jupiter (Wisdom), finally liberating our consciousness from the wheel of time. Nature of Order Astrologically Saturn is still seen as lord of time, and when he connects to points in our horoscopes we feel his heavy hand. In astrology Saturns influence is the embodiment of form, and the dramatic rings which surround the physical planet represent the idea of limitation. He is sometimes depicted as the Grim Reaper, wielding a scythe, and cutting a wide swath in human affairs. The reaper is only grim if we have sowed metaphorical seeds of destruction. Saturn is often viewed in a dim light,Itokawais our veiled and but it (JAXA/ISAS) incomplete understanding of the nature of how consciousness partakes in the creation of reality that is the problem with his reputation. Not only is Saturn famous for its spectacular rings but another geometric feature of the planet puzzles scientists. Saturn has a bizarre hexagon-shaped cloud which circles the north pole of the ringed planet. Scientists are stumped by this geometric cloud formation. Originally discovered by Voyager in the 1980s nothing like this phenomenon has been observed anywhere else in the solar system. Its intriguing that such an enigma, along with the most dramatic rings, should appear on the planet which astrologically symbolizes form and structure. Pythagorus is quoted as saying, God geometrizes, and one wonders what message from Nature is contained in this conundrum. The influence of Saturn by sign serves to limit or control circumstances in our lives and can also indicate how we will be limited, controlled, frustrated or delayed by what seems to be the cruel hand of fate, according to the sign Saturn transits. The ringed planet gives form to our life experiences and therefore provides our lessons. We can learn from this transit by perceiving how our critical instruction presents itself whether through people or experiences. With the benefit of hindsight most of us give credit for our most profound lessons to our toughest teachers. We look back in gratitude to those who expected the most from us or held our feet to the proverbial fire. Saturn is at heart a wise teacher if seeming to be a stern taskmaster. When we are truly wise we understand that Saturn plays the role of tough-love teacher. If we accept his lessons we are invariably strengthened in character. Saturn represents how we have structured our reality through our thoughts, and in a quantum sense Saturn represents the way we perceive reality as our individual and collective conscious has created and structured it. This is not really an external process although it seems to be outer events that provide the classroom.

he ringed planet Saturn entered the sign of Virgo on September 2 and will transit through the sign of the celestial virgin until July 2010, nearly three years. Virgo is the only female among the zodiacal constellations, and other than the twins, Castor and Pollux (Gemini), she is the only human figure. Virgo is depicted as a maiden, holding a palm branch in her right and a single ear of wheat in her left. Her brightest star is named Spica, ear of wheat. Virgo is one of the oldest constellations and over time has been equated with every important feminine deity, including Ishtar, Isis, Demeter, Persephone, Medusa, Artemis, and Urania. Richard Hinkley-Allen says, Those who claim very high antiquity for the zodiacal signs (15,000 years ago), assert that the idea of these titles originated when the Sun was in Virgo at the spring equinox, the time of the Egyptian harvest. Australian astrologer Bernadette Brady has remarked that Whatever image is chosen across time and cultures, what is contained in Virgo is the archetype of the harvest-bringing goddess, pure and good, independent of the masculine. She gives the four seasons and is the source of the fertile Earth. The more ancient concept of virgin described a woman who was independent and free to love whom she chose. Virgo is also the Greek Sophia, goddess of wisdom, and in the Gnostic tradition, she is the Black Madonna, mysterious guardian of feminine wisdom. The power of these goddesses, ranging from agriculture and astronomy to justice, wisdom and war, seems to be missing from typical astrological renderings of the sixth sign of the zodiac. Virgo is often described as analytical, critical, narrow, timid and tentative. Virgo is introspective and analytical, always seeking perfection. In modern parlance we might understand Virgos path as one of coming into the fullness of power, claiming and expressing what exists in potential. The mutable earth sign Virgo relates to the spiritual stage of spiritual unfolding which focuses on specialization of forms. She
represents the stage in the cycle when the souls experience is focused on assimilation of knowledge. In this phase matter is organized, purified and refined into specific and recognizable objects. Here we might say the Grand Plan of the Cosmos is carried out in detail. The Zodiac has also been said to represent the body of the Macrocosm, the Grand Human. In this vein the first sign Aries corresponds with the head, Taurus the neck and shoulders, and so on. Metaphysically Virgo is the matrix and represents the womb of the inner Christos, or spiritual self, containing the seed and eventual fruits of the Spirit. Seeds germinate in darkness, breaking their way out of their shell casings, and sending roots into the Earth. Like the abdomen and intestines which Virgo has dominion over, this phase distills the qualitative pearls from life. Saturn The ringed planet orbits the sun in 29.5 years so Saturn spends roughly 2.5 years in each sign. Due to vagaries of the planets motions this is not consistent and Saturn will spend closer to three years in the sign of Virgo. For individuals every 29.5 years Saturn returns to the place it occupied at birth. This is called a Saturn return and this event is always profound, usually bringing change in the circumstances of life. Myth transmits archetypal knowledge through stories and symbolism, but archetypes are complex and sometimes these stories seem contradictory. Saturns myths are a good example. Saturn is an old Italian god who is identified with the earlier Greek Cronus, Chief of the Titans, one of the great figures of myth. One tradition portrays Cronus as a selfish and autocratic ruler, intending to maintain his reign at any cost. In an act which is a nasty abuse of power even by mythical standards Cronus swallowed his own children so that none of them would supplant him. His wife Rhea, herself a very ancient pre-Hellenic goddess from Crete, ultimately foiled this arrogant attempt by giving him a swaddled stone instead of his last-born Zeus (Jupiter). Subsequently, Jupiter tricked Cronus into coughing up the rest of his siblings. In Orphic cosmology, however, which traces its roots to Egypt, Cronus was seen as a beneficent king, ruling over both heaven and earth. In this guise Cronus ruled during a halcyon golden age in antiquity. Cronus is also sometimes identified with Chronus, who is not depicted as a personified being, but rather as Time itself, which of course does
clined to be upright in nature and industrious with a risk of rigidity or a too-critical nature. There is a tendency to be overly serious and always see the glass as half empty. This combination of energies dislikes uncertainty and can lack faith. Self-confidence is not strong with Saturn in Virgo. Saturn in Virgo tends to avoid risk and speculation, preferring to have all the facts and figures, so a lively stock market is not likely during this transit. Some see the big picture in a macro fashion while others, like Virgo, look through a microscope and are more qualified to execute the fine points. Both perspectives are necessary, but with Saturn in Virgo there is a tendency to worry over details that are inconsequential and fail to see the big picture. As the old adage says, The devils in the details whether we ignore them at our peril or pay too much attention to them and miss the boat entirely. Saturn in Virgo engenders a keen sense of discrimination and analysis along with a strong scientific bent. A healthy dose of
common sense is a positive attribute. Saturn in Virgo does not take things at face value. In a natal chart and by transit this placement favors researchers and scientists. A sense of overwhelming responsibility can characterize Saturn in Virgo. With this transit or natal combination efficiency and thoroughness are more important than speed and sparkle. This transit is a good time to focus on health and put behaviors and structures in place to improve overall fitness. Saturn is the planet of form and order and Virgo is the sign which pulls us toward an illusory quest for perfection, so its fair to say that this combination creates a quest for perfection in form that is doomed before it begins. Perfection is an abstract principle which by its nature is not really attainable in the world of form. Virgos more ancient and powerful side is associated with ancient goddesses of grain and the cycles of the year. Saturns is related to cycles of time in a karmic or philosophical manner in that what we sow we eventually reap. Time heals all things but time also ultimately brings the chickens home to roost. This is a nose-to-the-grindstone combination of energies where practical application in the present will yield a rich harvest later. In due time Pluto will go direct in motion in early September at 26 degrees at the same time Saturn enters Virgo, moving forward potentially powerful
energies for transformation and contributing an auspicious boost to Saturns tenure in the sixth sign. In April of 2008 Saturn at one degree of Virgo will trine Pluto at one degree of Capricorn bringing up issues that have been buried in subconsciousness and need to be acknowledged and addressed. This is a bit like cleaning out the cellar and will give us a preview of the new energy Pluto will fully embrace in November 2008 when the small but might, dwarf planet begins a long transit through the sign of Capricorn. Next year, in November and December of 2008, Saturn in Virgo will oppose Uranus in Pisces and inconjunct Neptune in Aquarius (150-degree aspect). This is the last pass of Saturn opposed to Uranus, and combined with the influence of Neptune, asks us how our values have altered toward a more collective vision; are we still clinging to outworn forms or building a more enlightened future? I believe among the lessons of this transit are learning to discriminate what is truly important and deserves an intense focus of attention and an expenditure of creative energy. We can learn to separate the wheat from the chaff, to use a Virgo example. Likewise, as we move into the Aquarian age, we need an understanding of the essential role our thoughts and predominant mindset have on ordering our world. Ultimately the question is: do we want more of the same or do we want to recreate the world according to a higher vision? www.queenofcups.com

e stand at a very special point in time, between all that has preceded this moment and all moments to come and, moreover, we are also situated at a very precise point at the frontier between all that is small and all that is largebetween the microcosm and the macrocosm. While it may seem, to some, that there is nothing special about that position, we are beginning to understand that any other place would be impossible. In this issue we feature two new DVDs which help to clarify the significance of our place in time and space, and the rerelease of a set of three classic productions which help put our very ancient past into perspective. CROSSING THE EVENT HORIZON: Rise to the Equation Nassim Haramein Do you remember what were you doing at nine years old? Were you thinking in depth about dimensions and geometry? I know I wasnt but Nassim Haramein was! And he decided at that age that he was going to solve the problems that he encountered in school regarding dimensions. He wanted to solve it that same day, and being a child, he thought he could. On the bus ride home, he made an impressive attempt at the solution. But, of course, it brought up many more facets of the problem. And though he didnt know it at the time, he was actually tackling one of the fundamental difficulties in advanced physics something so crucial for our understanding of reality that it bleeds into advanced physics, advanced mathematics and all sorts of sciences. (This is all thoroughly explained by him in this workshop symposium.) That was the start of 20 years of seeking knowledge about the structure of space and time and the nature of reality, which has resulted in a unification theory with implications in theoretical physics, cosmology,

quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, archaeology, and anthropology, as well as philosophy and technology. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1962 to a Persian father and an Italian mother, he now lives in the United States. Always the independent thinker, he was kicked out of a science conference years ago for saying that we would find giant black holes at the centers of galaxies including our own. That prediction has come true, so now when he speaks of black-white holes, maybe we should listen! Speaking of a deeper view of black-hole dynamics, he says: Black holes are no longer only absorbing material/information, but radiating this information back out in the form of electromagnetic radiation, and the feedback between the two generates the topology
of the dual torus structure of the Haramein-Rauscher solution driven by space-time. Now the black hole is no longer black since its exterior event horizon radiates, which is what I have been calling the white hole portion. Here the black hole/white hole are concentric to each other, where the black hole is inside and the white hole is concentrically structured outside and activates the plasma dynamics and Coriolis forces of the ergosphere of the black hole, which I coined the black-white whole. (Hang in thereyoull get it!) Even Dr. Stephen Hawking, who for nearly thirty years insisted that black holes could not radiate information, has recently announced a complete 180-degree turn in his views (much to his credit!) predicting that black holes may be able to radiate information. Haramein has teamed up with renowned physicist, Elizabeth A. Rauscher, who has been awarded for outstanding contributions to astronomy and astrophysics, bioelectromagnetism and foundations of quantum theory. She was a nuclear scientist and researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and at Stanford Research Institute, Professor of Physics at John F. Kennedy University of California, and research consultant to NASA and the U.S. Navy. She is author of over 200 scientific papers and four books, and she holds three U.S. patents and one European patent. Together, they have completed a scientific paper entitled, The Origin of Spin: A Consideration of Torque and Coriolis Forces in Einsteins Field Equations and Grand Unification Theory. This paper has been accepted for publication by the peer-reviewed Noetic Journal, which publishes books of papers on the leading edge. And this research IS on the leading edge! You see, according to Haramein, with all of the intricacies of both quantum theory and relativistic equations, no concepts nor fundamental theories have been postulated to de->

make up the mass of the sun as there are atoms within each one of us. The sun is a billion meters in diameter, and a molecule is a billionth of a meter. We are perfectly situated in between. This is perfection in a mathematically balanced nature. And yet we are all unaware of our special position. Our size and our position in the solar system is crucial for life to exist as it does. Molecules, living cells, and minerals are all formed by atoms combining together in special mixtures to create different substances. All are atoms; all are particles; all have some nuclear particles, and the galaxies themselves are held in position by these subnuclear particles. What scientists do not yet know are the ultimate questions for them: What is the synthesis between the cosmos and the quantum world? What is the thread that links the quantum to the cosmos? Gardiner says that it is because of division in language, our perception, that this answer cannot be found, but we will discover the secret, wave-like thread and find that if we pull upon it, we shall unravel the mysteries of the universe. Well, maybe thats exactly what Haramein is onto (see review above for Crossing the Event Horizon). At least, it appears to be. Also covered by Haramein is the subject of dark matter, which is a part of Gardiners discussion. It is Gardiners assertion that if a correlation were drawn between ourselves and the greater universe, then the galaxies of light would be the conscious world; and dark matter would be the unconsciousnessthat we are in a remarkable likeness to the universe to what some would call God. Discussing the topic of crystals, he once again refers to dark matter, saying that the form of a crystal is configured just like that of the universe, and indeed our own mind, which is also mainly empty space (no reference to air-headed!). It is in this space that scientists store and harness vast amounts of information, in the dark matter of the crystal. Gardiner further talks of the void inside every atom as well as in the vastness of space and says that we call it dark matter because we dont understand it.

But maybe Harameins solution can shed light on this for him, as stated above. I suggest that you view both Gardiners and Harameins DVDs, as the topics are interrelated. This production has nice graphics, which we have come to expect from Reality Entertainments productions. And yes, the music is appropriate most of the time; it rarely overrides Gardiners narration.

At the top of the list has been NBCs broadcast of The Mystery of the Sphinx in the mid 90s. The program, narrated by Charleton Heston introduced the public to the notion that there was a view contrary to standard egyptology about the age of the Sphinx, and thus the age of civilization, and that this view was supported by the strongest kind of scientific evidence namely geology. The program caused a sensation, enjoyed very high ratings, won an

The new 40-minute VHS program pulls together powerful evidence linking Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury and many other English locations with an advanced ancient order now lost to history. Written and narrated by Atlantis Rising editor Doug Kenyon, the video is based primarily upon the discoveries of Cambridgetrained scholar and author John Michell. The program demonstrates how a mysterious network of perfectly straight tracks, laid out for hundreds of miles across the English landscape, proves the great advancement of prehistoric science. Michells deep insight into the origins of English culture illuminates a startling new vision of the roots of civilization. Beautiful on-location footage interspersed with spectacular 3-D animation and a great original music score make English Sacred Sites not only moving and persuasive but entertaining as well.

Ring had observed that rivers meander across a landscape, so perhaps an electron also naturally spirals along its way. So instead of hitting the electron with brute force electricity, he gently pulsed it. It worked the first time. He repeated the experiment until satisfied, wrote up his notes, then tackled levitation. He avoided the expensive superconductivity approach that produces a few minutes of levitation in the laboratory before coils burn out. Instead, he knew acoustic levitation of rocks had worked for monks in Tibet; why not here with woofer speakers? Before the night was over he did get a ping pong ball to hover on demand. Naively expecting a raise in salary, Ring took his report and photographs to the laboratorys director the next day. The director motioned for him to close the office door and said he believed that, yes, Ring had made two of the laboratorys tasks obsolete. He hadnt expected Ring would do so. However, Ring couldnt tell anyone about it. The director told him to just go back to work the way he had been doing. Why? You dont understand. This is a government-funded lab and were paid to look for answers but not to find them. Ring is not a man who can work in such a system. Although his wife would be angry, he resigned within two weeks, tears in his eyes. That act of courage opened the door for a new chapter in his life. But first, he learned about vested interests. Mysterious visitors showed up at the Ring homebefore he had heard about rumored Men In Black who are said to threaten some innovators. Ring answered their questions about his inventions, but his wife had a sixth sense for trouble. She was increasingly uneasy while the visitors became more pushy in asking how Ring knew so much. Finally she told them to leave. Afterward, she ordered her husband to remove experimental equipment and papers from the houseincluding the rare leather-bound Tesla book he had ordered from Yugoslavia. Ring was reluctant to throw out such a valuable book. Following inner guidance, he took it to the Mohave desert and gave it to a well-known man he had not previously met, George Van Tassel (www.Integratron.com), who said Ive been expecting you. For a while Rings life became a symphony of synchronicities. A friend took him to the discussion group Understanding, formed by Daniel Fry.

Later, Ring was told by a professor that the 45-foot craft was in Los Alamos, New Mexico, nine stories down. His friend reported that government officials tried to operate it, but were unsuccessful because they dont understand how the key to powering it lies in consciousness. They wanted to mount weapons on it. However, weapons simply dont operate in the high-vibrational field of such advanced esoteric technology, Ralph Ring told me during a phone interview. Theres no way I can verify details of this story. However, during his decades of seclusion Ring at one time worked on a project with a friend of mine in New Mexico, who affirmed that Rings story has essentially been the same all these years although he may not remember all the technical details. Ring wanted to build a replica of the 45-foot craft but ended up with an intuitively designed underground home, because local building codes dont allow unanchored houses with built-in sewage treatment plants. Photos of the home are on the DVD of his presentation (www.TeslaTech.info). His secluded life changed in 2006 after Bill Ryan and Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot contacted him and said times are different now; people will listen without so much scoffing. Their interviews started a chain reaction of invitations for Ralph Ring to speak, and to bring to light more indications that humankind could cooperate with nature, clean up earth and soar into the skies.

Officer, Major Jesse Marcel would fly the debris to Fort Worth; 2) Col. Blanchard ordered him to write a press release and deliver it first to local radio and newspapers; 3) he reports reading in the newspaper the following day General Roger Rameys weather balloon explanation; 4) he believes not only that Col. Blanchard saw the original debris, would never have confused the actual crash debris with a weather balloon, and neither would have Jesse Marcel; Haut confirms Jesse Marcel personally told him that what he recovered wasnt what was shown to the press; 5) Haut is convinced the material recovered is from some craft from outer space. His first affidavit, while ostensibly confirming many elements of the now well-known Roswell standard story, is hardly inflammatory or worldstopping. What did he swear really happened, though, when he knew he wouldnt be around to deal with the aftermath of his truth telling?
The 2002 Affidavit In the new affidavit, things start out innocuously enough, then head rapidly into high strangeness. Instead of five principal points, we now have fifteen (the link given earlier has all the details, together with full sourcing for the two affidavits): 1) Haut restates his official job at Roswell, but adds that he spent the 4th of July weekend at home. 2) By mid morning, July 7, he already knew of a downed vehicle report and that Major Jesse Marcel was detailed by Col. Blanchard to investigate. 3) By late that afternoon, he had civilian reports of a second site just north of Roswell (Brazels ranch was 75 miles NW of the base; the second site was 40 miles N). 4) Tuesday, July 7, 1947 saw a most unusual usual staff meeting held, with the long hard-to-identify Capt. Sheridan Cavitt of the Counterintelligence Corps (CIC), Col. James I. Hopkins, the Operations Officer (Robert Shirkey, Seniors boss), and the Base Supply Officer, Lt. Col. Ulysses S. Nero, to which were added Blanchards boss, Brigadier General Roger Ramey, his Chief of Staff, Col. Thomas J. Dubose, both from Carswell Army Air Field in Fort Worth, Texas (where Marcel and other sources say the >

crash debris was flown). The main topic was the debrief of Marcel and Cavitt on the Brazel ranch site, with a preliminary report by Col. Blanchard on the second site. Whats said is so strange it bears quoting. Samples of wreckage were passed around the table. It was unlike any material I had or have ever seen in my life. Pieces which resembled metal foil, paper thin yet extremely strong, and pieces with unusual markings along their length were handled from man to man, each voicing their opinion. No one was able to identify the crash debris. All of a sudden, the number of people who handled the crash debris and are identifiable by name goes up from a handful to a roomful. Theyre describing the same items Jesse Marcel, his son, Jesse Marcel, Jr., and several others have previously reported handling. 5) Here we find ourselves face-to-face with a veritable smoking gun, in the form of discussion regarding the use of a Cover & Deception plan to hide the more important site north of town by acknowledging the other location as part of the larger issue of whether to go public or not with the discovery. 6) Haut reports that after the meeting (9:30 a.m.) was when Col. Blanchard called him and dictated the soon-to-befamous and later notorious press release. Distribution was as above. 7) Haut says the press release generated such enormous reaction (calls from around the world) that Col. Blanchard suggested he go home and hide out. 8) Here, Haut drops a bombshell, stating that Col. Blanchard took him to Building 84 (known to ufologists as Hangar 84, but actually Hangar P-3, where he was shown the object just recovered north of town. It was approx. 12 to 15 feet in The Infamous Weather Baloon wreckage
length, not quite as wide, about 6 feet high, and more of an egg shape. Lighting was poor, but its surface did appear metallic. No windows, portholes, wings, tail section or landing gear were visible. One can see why the government was willing to admit what was already widely known by civilians, in order to protect this stunner. Haut confirms the multiple reports by eyewitnesses of heavy inner and outer guards. The apparent craft recoverys only part of the story. 9) Haut says he saw bodies outlined under a tarp, with oversized heads protruding. He guesstimated size as that of a 10 year old child, going on to say that Col. Blanchard, by holding his arm four feet above the floor in his office, indicated the height of the beings. 10) Haut confirms that a temporary morgue was set up, which nicely dovetails with the call to Glenn Dennis wanting several child coffins and dry ice for apparent preservation. 11) Fortunately for all concerned, none of the recovered material was radioactive. 12) Right after he got back from Carswell, Major Jesse Marcel personally and irately informed Haut of the switcheroo from real crash debris to the prosaic weather balloon wreckage done by General Ramey while Marcel was briefly out of General Rameys office. Thereafter, the matter was never discussed again. 13) Haut mentions that he would be permitted to make at least one visit to one of the recovery sites during the military cleanup. Further, hed be allowed to collect some of what was recovered and display it in his office. Weirdly, he doesnt say whether he actually did either. 14) The thoroughness of evidence retrieval and site cleanup is evidenced by his statement that two separate teams were used and revisited each site months after the primary cleanup. 15) Where in the 1993 Affidavit Haut mentioned only a craft, here he used an expanded formula, craft and crew. Thus, by comparing the two affidavits, it is readily evident that Walter Haut not only knew all along there was a coverup regarding the craft debris littering Mac Brazel's ranch, but was directly involved in creating and disseminating a cover story which hid the far more significant, maybe even vital information of the recovery of a separate, mostly intact craft at the second site. Further, Haut constitutes another primary eyewitness to many hotly disputed prior aspects of the story, such as the bodies, their size and characteristics. From a historical standpoint, Haut has greatly broadened the research possibilities regarding Roswell, for we now have a whole new batch of people and their survivors to interview, documents to pore over.

ened to the citys endless ability to charge admission to just about every building of interest. So the lost underground might prove another rich revenue source. Unfortunately for the mayor, the only new discovery was a tunnel filled with skeletonsthe victims of Ivan IVs secret police. Underground tourism so far has been confined to the underground shopping malls that contain Moscows most posh shops. Modern media in Russia is still emerging from the twentieth century during which any form of dissent or expos could earn a one-way ticket to Siberia. Stories of the secret subway have made their way into the tabloids and it is claimed that thousands are employed in both the secret transportation system and a secret city to which it connects six miles away. While the tabloid media is seldom reliable, a portion of the subway that connects the Kremlin to Moscows airport is no longer a secret. It is, however, open only to government officials. The people cynically regard this secret subway as Metro 2, although officials of the FSB (the successor to the KGB) are not amused. Journalists who have openly mentioned it have been subject to interrogation. Moscows Diggers Modern urban explorers, though, are braving the threat of government and are illegally transversing their city underground. They call themselves the Diggers and despite the military actively patrolling some of the complex tunnel system, they bravely risk arrest and subsequent consequences. Sewers, subway stations, and even the newly constructed underground shopping malls provide access to the subterranean world of catacombs, tunnels, bomb shelters and secret vaults. While the city has granted access to the tunnels to a handful of tour operators, the military is equally concerned with a terrorist group penetrating beneath the Kremlin. In 1988 near the Spasskiye Gate of the Kremlin a construction project found a treasure hoard dating from the late Viking period. The works of both Scandinavian and Russian
jewelers included items never found before in Russia, and most likely hidden during the Mongol invasions were part of the discovery. Must the world wait for another construction incident for the library to someday be unearthed? The founder of the Moscow Diggers, Vadim Mikhailov told the Ottawa Citizen that he firmly believes that the treasure will someday be found. He claims to have more information than anyone alive. His greatest source is a ninety-year-old nearlyblind man nicknamed Appolos who claims to have found it. His poor treatment at the hands of the government is his reason for depriving the government of the location of this literary treasure. Vadim and his group have broken
through an underground brick wall directly into the Kremlins Palace basement, now moldy from the flowing waters. They have found skulls, weapons, deserted passageways and dry water courses. They have even found radioactive material lying beneath the Moscow State University and alerted the government. They have also been threatened on occasion by the darker side of modern Russia: Gypsies, drug addicts, alcoholics, homeless families and ex-convicts. On one occasion the group aided police in recapturing three escaped murderers. On another they instructed Moscows elite Alpha unit on how to navigate the sewage tunnels to end a hostage crisis in the Dubrovka Theatre. Will Vadim and the Diggers someday uncover the secret vault of Ivans library, or will a future construction project uncover the priceless collection? What is fervently belived, at least by those who have investigated this treasure, is that it still exists, far below the Kremlin.

somewhat interchangeable): 1) Mental phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition; and 2) Physical phenomena, such as psychokinesis (the moving of objects without any physical connection, without any muscular or mechanical action or known intervening material or energy) and levitation. (Physical paranormal phenomena are discussed in my forthcoming book The Parapsychology Revolution, which I compiled with Logan Yonavjak). The significance of crisis apparitions and similar cases of apparently spontaneous telepathy lies not just in statistical arguments that, on the whole, they must be more than chance coincidence. In particular, two other lines of evidence are also extremely impressive as support for the reality of such spontaneous psi. The French astronomer and psychical researcher Camille Flammarion (1842-1925) and the parapsychologist Louisa Rhine (1891-1983) collected hundreds and thousands of cases of spontaneous psi along telepathic lines (indeed, the number of cases Louisa Rhine had on file numbered in the tens of thousands; admittedly, however, Flammarion and Rhine did not apply the same rigorous standards for determining authenticity as was used for Phantasms).

be aware of the symbols on the cards directly). But it was quickly realized that in practice it was virtually impossible to distinguish between telepathy and clairvoyance. In the so-called telepathic experiments, the percipient could be reading the cards directly. If we accept the concepts of precognition and receiving information telepathically from the future (and there is evidence for such, but that is beyond the scope of this article), then the percipient in a so-called clairvoyance experiment might actually be receiving inforThe Egyptian Goddess Hathor
mation telepathically from the future when the cards are checked by a human mind. As a general term to encompass both telepathy and clairvoyance, Rhine popularized the term extrasensory perception (originally written as extra-sensory perception, and commonly abbreviated as ESP). Over the years numerous researchers in different labs duplicated Rhine-type experiments, many getting statistically positive results. Sets of Zener cards were also sold to the general public, and in the late 1930s and 1940s testing for ESP was a popular sport. Masses of data were collected, and it seems clear that at least in some cases information was leaking through by paranormal means (that is, outside of the known means of acquiring information by the recognized senses). Not only have Zener cards been used, but pictures, videos, images, and emotions have been sent telepathically with statistical significance to percipients while fully awake and aware, while in a relaxed state with mild sensory deprivation, or while asleep. However, decades of such experi-
ments have done little more than establish that there is something there. How to consistently invoke and control mental psi phenomena remains elusive. Likewise, though various theories to account for psi have been proposed, including theories based on quantum physics, none have generally been accepted even among parapsychologists (those who professionally study psi phenomena). In my opinion it might be fruitful to focus more serious attention again on spontaneous cases of psi. Additionally, I believe it is important to explore further the physical parameters that may enhance or impede psi experiences. As already mentioned above, spontaneous psi correlates with geomagnetic activity. It has also been found that incidents of psi correlate with Local Sidereal Time (which relates to the position of the horizon at any particular point on earth relative to the center of our galaxy). In my studies of ancient temples, shrines, and other sacred sites, I have come to the conclusion that often they were purposefully designed and situated to enhance psi experiences. There is suggestive evidence that at many ancient temples, such as the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, Egypt, among other practices, signs and messages (interpreted as from the deity) would appear in dreams of sleeping supplicants, imparting veridical, but otherwise unknowable, knowledge. That is, I believe in at least some cases psi experiences were being purposefully induced. Psi experiences, religious ecstasy, and mystical revelation appear to be intimately entangled (a topic for another essay). By studying the factors common to genuine time-honored sacred sites, I believe we may be able to more closely circumscribe the principles involved in eliciting strong psi experiences. When it came to psi, I suspect that various ancient and so-called primitive cultures had a much better grasp of the subject than society at large does today. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time Boston University faculty member, earned his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics at Yale. He is best known for redating of the Great Sphinx of Egypt.

Scientists today will cleverly remark the correlation of the sunspot cycle with drought and famine in India; and there the matter rests. Or exotic viruses and fevers are blithely blamed on global warming, so-called. How does this compare with the ancients who, foretelling seasons of fever and pestilence, set about draining the marshlands or applying themselves to irrigation projects when the prophets foresaw a time of drought? Sky-time also predicted atmospheric densities (aji) measured by the ode and her multiples; and these were noted spiritually by the North American Indians in their sacred round huts: Algonquin: Let man build consecrated chambers that My spirits may come and explain aji, and they shall be provided against famine and pestilence.

Related calculations coming under certain numbers: 11, 33, 66, 99 and so ondeduced periods of arbitration and destruction, of order and anarchy, of plenty and famine, of inspiration and superstition, of peace and war. These tables of prophecy appear in Oahspes Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy, but are still largely undeciphered. Their rhythms, though, seem to resonate with well-known chronologies, such as the Yankee timetable of aggression, as seen in American military history. Kii Tablet: In the years of aji, mortals become warriors. The span of time from the Texas Alamo (1835) to the outbreak of the Mexican War (1846) was eleven years, i.e., one ode. Indeed, the Mexican War (expansionist and unprovoked, giving us half of the American West) broke out thirty-three years (one spell) after the heat of the War of 1812. Later, the bloodand-lust of the Civil War, the War of Rebellion, as these intervals march on, ended precisely thirty-three years (one spell) before the onset of the Spanish American War, which was the next impulse to conquest, giving us the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc. Early in the 20th century, two odes of peace followed the Great War, only to be answered by World War II. The space between the Korean War and Vietnam was an ode. The two Gulf/Iraq wars were also separated by an approximate ode. Third Rule of Prophecy (99 years): the post-War boom, 1947-48, was a sunspot year with an output of magnitude greater than had been seen in a hundred years.

columns bordering a gigantic wreath honoring German soldiers killed in battle. This fantastic scene was captured in the now famous documentary, Triumph of the Will by legendary film photographer Leni Riefenstahl. Where did those 160,000 perfect young soldiers come from? In October of 1935, Hitler supplied the answer to that riddle when he made public that he had kept 21 infantry divisions under wraps in 1934, and he announced that they would now become the core of the new German armythe Wehrmacht. So thats where the 160,000 came from, but where did the 21 divisions come from? An infantry division can be as many as 20,000 troops, so it seems that somehow Hitler magically got his hands on an instant army of about 500,000 soldiers, with no explanation of where they came from or how they had been trained. He announced also that an additional 21 divisions would soon be added. One may be forgiven for wondering just how was it possible for all this to be accomplished only one year after Hitler became chancellor of Germany? Now that we have evidence of alien involvement in the war preparations, a startling explanation presents itself. It is now believed by many that the aliens have mastered cloning biotechnology, and in fact that the small grey ETs of abduction fame are clones themselves. Could it be possible that Hitlers alien friends presented him with a ready-made millionman army of cloned storm troopers? We have already seen that the planning for World War II probably began in the early part of the century. Was Hitlers army secretly growing up in spaceships or underground cities even as real soldiers were dying by the millions on the battlefields of Europe? Hitler at Nuremburg Perhaps George Lucas knew more than is commonly believed when, in 2001, he wrote Episode II of the Star Wars saga titled Attack of the Clones. When it comes to fantastic possibilities for the Nazi/ET connection, though, that is only the beginning.

A NASA diagram charts the eleven-year sunspot cycle was established in Palestine where, that same year, the Dead Sea Scrolls were exhumed from centuries of rest. In America, the OAS, CIA, Air Force and Defense department were established. The first celebrated UFO flap occurred that year as well. The 1848 discovery of gold in California would now be echoed by the 1948 discovery of gold in Africa. Working back from the post-War years, under the centennial unit (Third Rule of Prophecy): 1848 was a crashing year, bringing: worldwide home-rule revolutions; the gold rush; first womens rights conference (Seneca Falls); and the end of the Mexican War, whose treaty ceded us the whole Pacific Coast up to the 49th parallel. Following the rhythm back another 99 years, the mid-century mark in Europe (ca. 1750) saw the discovery of the ruins of Pompei and the height of the enlightenmentVoltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, even Ben Franklin, all rising to fame, and all sounding the death knell of age-old monarchism and the tyranny of kings. Another cycle back: 1648 distinguishes itself as the year set, by Kabbalists, for the coming of the Messiah. 1548 distinguishes itself as the moment of the reformation. 1450 distinguishes itself with the Plague, marking its own centennial, returning to ravish Italy. Ninety-nine years earlier, of course, the Black Death had moved all across Europe reducing the population by one half and changing absolutely everything. Called the Year of the Flying Birds by the Chinese 16 centuries before Galileo, the sunspot maximum is a definite, measurable, even spectacular phenomenon. But as meteorological folklore, it ranks high and for two reasons: first, because its origin on the surface of the sun itself is an apparency, probably a mistake; and secondthanks to the present vogue of symptom-gazing here in the United States of Amnesia (thanks, G.V.) side-effects (spots) are hailed as causes, and

true causes are all but forgotten, ignored, or never discovered. Still: It was during the most recent sunspot year that, at the height of atmospheric turbulence (July 14, 2000), shortwave communications were completely shut down on earth. With satellites focused on the magnetosphere (earths power station), European Space Agency (ESA) scientists actually detected the basis of that surge: compression of the magnetosphere (Van Allen Belt). This rounding or deforming or compressing of the magnetic belt is the long-missed force behind odic events on earth. Earthquakes conforming to the cluster-years of the ode can now be traced to the vigorous compressions in earths own magnetic field. And what causes disturbances in earths power grid every eleven years (automatic garage doors even opening and closing on their own)?The planets own electromagnetic dynamo, its field, is sufficient. Sunworshiping purveyors of solar causation will, in good time, sink into oblivion, and in the ascendant will arise the science of field, heralded by Einstein and now completed by fresh generations of truth-seeking scientists. With rediscovery of the Egyptian ode, the key player will be field itself, the magnetic envelope of earth, the shape-changing vortex or womb of the planet.

He says, The Germans landed on the moon probably as early as 1942, utilizing their larger exo-atmospheric rocket saucers of the Miethe and Schriever type. The Schriever Walter turbine powered craft was designed as an interplanetary exploration vehicle. It had a diameter of 60 meters, had 10 stories of crew compartments, and stood 45 meters high. Terziski claims that after establishing the initial surface base they tunneled underground, and by the end of the war there was a small Nazi research base on the moon. The free energy tachyon drive craft of the Haunibu-1 and 2 type were used after 1944 to haul people, materiel(s)(sic) and the first robots to the construction site.

If Terziski is right, it seems reasonable to suspect that the aliens played a large role in the Nazi moon adventure. While obviously this fantastic accomplishment would have had little wartime strategic value, it should be remembered that, in 1942, the Germans were supremely confident of winning the war, and were projecting their space travel (conquest?) plans

well ahead into the thousand-year Third Reich. A Proxy War Needless to say, sources of information about extraterrestrial involvement in WWII in book form are hard to come by but Exopolitics is the title of at least two large books, one by scholar Michael Salla and another by former Carter administration staffer Alfred Webre. But still, if you want details on how the alien factor sorts out, you must go to the Internet where a veritable cornupcopia of such information presents itself. Whether such material is to be relied upon is, of course, another question, but that has not slowed the production of complex scenarios arguing for consideration of alien involve-
ment in the politics and wars of earth. Among those offering supposedly detailed information concerning the extraterrestrial intervention factor typical is someone called Branton. All we know about him is that he claims to have been abducted many times since the age of 12, and that his information accords with David Icke and some other such sources. The following is taken from Brantons material: A formal treaty was executed in 1933 between the Nazi-Bavarian Intelligence Agency, which eventually became the S.S, and the Greys, an alien race living in underground bases in Tibet and elsewhere in the world, facilitated by the Thule Society. The Greys are said to be from Zeta II Reticuli. The Greys, in turn, it is said, are subservient to the Reptilians, and are believed to be implanted with biochips to keep them under control. They are mostly a cloned race, having lost the ability to reproduce aeons ago, due to radioactive fallout from nuclear wars on their home planet. There is a group of about 2000 original Grey prototypes from which the clones are copied. Many abductees have commented on their robotic, totally unemotional behavior. The Reptilians are a fierce, tyrannical race from Alpha Draconis, sometimes referred to as Reptiloids because they are human-like in basic form, but their skin, it is claimed, is scaly, and their faces are lizard-like with vertical-slit eyeballs. They are up to 8 feet tall, and very strong. They are considered by some extraterrestrials to be master geneti-

cists, but others claim that they have botched many of their genetic experiments. Their most powerful capability is mind control, and in this they are considered undisputed experts. This accounts for their ability to shapeshift, or to take on a human appearance, because they can plant that illusion in the mind of the observer. They are in league with other Reptilian races from Rigel Orion and Bellatrix Orion. Together they are referred to as the Draco-Orion Imperialists, and have taken over many of the star systems in the 21 star cluster in this section of the Galaxy, comprising the Draco-Orion/Grey Empire. The DracoOrionites are referred to as interventionists because they boldly seek to enslave other races. Like the fascists that they sponsored, they are cruel and merciless. Their ancient enemies are the humanoid races from Andromeda, Arcturus, Lyra, the Pleiades and Sirius. The main Pleiadian faction is from the planet Erra circling the star Taygeta, one of the Seven Sisters. Taken together, this group of civilizations comprises the Galactic Federation. The DAL Universe is also part of the Federation. The Federation races are non-interventionist in that they believe deeply in freedom, and will never try to influence or persuade other developing races, or to block or violate their right to make free will choices, and, in fact, they seek to assist in spiritual development. The Federation forces on earth are based under Death Valley and Mt. Shasta in California. The star wars began when the Draconians attacked Lyra and the Pleiades. Branton says, The stories that contactees tell of the devastating battles and galactic massacresin almost every case initiated by the collectivistinterventionist reptiloids/greysbetween the two galactic superpowers are integral although controversial elements within the annals of Ufology. Whew. Tesla While the Draco-Greys, it is claimed, gave the Germans fantastic weapons including jet propulsion, rocketry, television-guided missiles, anti-gravity aircraft, nuclear technology, and possibly even a cloned army, the the allies were not completely without alien assistance. The ETs, it is said, gave the Allies one manNikola Tesla. It was Tesla, according to this line of argument, who first saw the promise of radar in 1917, and was instrumental in its development and use in the war. Consequently, the British and the U.S. had sophisticated radar defenses deployed early in the war using Teslas patents, while the Germans gave it scant attention, and it was radar that won the Battle of Britain. Tesla and Roosevelt met in 1917 when FDR was Secretary of the Navy, and Roosevelt was very impressed with Teslas genius. In 1936, according to some reports, he put Tesla in charge of the Invisibility Project, working with the navy. In 1940, as the story goes, they succeeded in making a ship disappear in
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Whether or not invisibility was secretly used in the war is unknown. Tesla also invented, it is claimed, particle beam weaponry which he publicly referred to as the Death Ray. It was not, it seems, developed soon enough to use in the war, but satellite-based versions have since, it is believed, become potent weapons in both U.S. and Soviet arsenals. Tesla is also said to have been offered a large amount of money to go and work for Germany but that he refused, and that he remained an American patriot to the end. Tesla often made mention of his off-planet friends, say some. Sometime in the mid-thirties, they say, he arranged a meeting between Roosevelt and Pleiadian representatives, which supposedly took place on a ship in the Atlantic. Within the alien-tracking Internet community it is believed that some sort of agreement came out of that meeting, and that a Federation representative may have consulted at the Pentagon for most of the war.
Suicide Mission to Mars? Sometime in late 1944, the story goes, when it became apparent that they had lost the war, the Germans moved the main components of their antigravity aircraft technology and their top scientists to their subterranean base in the Antarctic called Neuschabenland, which they had been preparing since 1938. it is suspected that an extraterrestrial base had already existed there, and that it was inhabited by their compatriots, the Draco-Orionites. The Germans had been assiduously patrolling and defending the sea lanes to Antarctica since early in the war as they moved men and materials there in U-boats. They stationed their largest battle cruiser, the Graf Spee, off the coast of Argentina some time in 1939, and they were known to be sinking even merchant vessels sailing in those waters. If true, this might explain why the Allied armies found only superficial remnants of flying
disc development as they overran Germany, and none of the important scientists. Could Antarctica have been the destination of the so-called Lost Battalion of 250,000 German troops that could never be accounted for? Could these have been perhaps carefully kept and maintained cloned storm troopers, to be used as genetic prototypes for the new Wehrmacht? By April of 1945, the European war was winding down as the Allied troops converged on Berlin. At that point, it is claimed, all the antigravity technology and scientists had been transferred to Neuschwabenland. It was from that Antarctic base that the Germans decided to launch a mission to Mars, jointly with the Japanese. Vladimir Terziski says, According to the authors of the underground German documentary movie from the Thule society, the only produced craft of the Haunibu-3 type the 74 meter diameter naval warfare dreadnoughtwas chosen for the most courageous mission of this whole centurythe trip to Mars. The trip reportedly took almost 8 months because the large Andromeda-type tachyon drives were turned off immediately after the escape from the earths gravitation, and the ship coasted the rest of the way in an elliptical orbit. Terziski believes that the crew probably numbered in the hundreds. The huge craft crashlanded on Mars in January, 1946 severely damaging the tachyon drives and making return impossible, but according to the documentary, the crew knew from the beginning that it was probably a suicide mission. Terziski says, The radio message with the mixed news was received by the German underground space control center in Neu Schwabenland and by their research base on the moon. Evidently, with the war on earth lost, the Axis partners decided to position themselves off-planet in readiness for the next round, and the advent of the Fourth Reich. All the chroniclers of World War II agree that the German soldiers were very tough and courageous, and almost robotic in terms of efficiency. They obeyed orders without question, even in the face of certain death. As the Blitzkrieg rolled over Europe, they could do no wrong. It was their insensitivity to human suffering that made the atrocities in Russia, and the concentration camps (the Einsatzgrupen were taken from the ranks of the Wehrmacht), possible. Maybe, though, it wasnt that they were sadisticmaybe they just didnt care! But, on the other hand, they showed no resourcefulness, whereas the British and American soldiers could be relied on to come up with ideas even in the worst situations. Ultimately, the thinking soldier with a heart prevailed. Apparently, the moral of the story isif you expect to win a war with an army of clones, you better have someone with great intelligence directing them, and Hitler just didnt fill the bill. When it came to intellect, he was no match for the combined brain power of Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and an allied army of citizen soldiers from free societies.

THORS HAMMER
Continued from Page 41
the first professionally authenticated Viking site in the New World, at LAnse aux Meadows, today a National Historic Park. Even more intriguing, the late epigrapher Dr. Barry Fell demonstrated a fascinating parallel between Micmac birch-bark characters and ancient Egyptian script. What, if anything, these possible prehistoric themes may have had to do with the lost Stone Cross of southern Newfoundland, French was not sure, but she was determined to find it. Basing her work primarily on old legends, she compiled a rough map that took her inland from the Bay du Nord and over the high cliffs of Devils Dining Table. On their opposite side, in a barren plain surrounded by hills thick with spruce trees, she found the object of her quest. It was spread out on the arid ground, the huge outline of a diamondshaped cross, as though it were opening itself up from the center. Measuring 30 feet from north to south, it more closely resembled a compass. The design was encircled by a ring of numerous white stones, some of boulder proportions and others piled into rough heaps, mimicking crude towers or the abstract configuration of statues. From the vantage-point of one of these piles, French could make out the faint image of a man upon the
cross, not in a crucified position, but as though he were emerging from the diamond opening. She remembered a Micmac tradition concerning these stones: It was permissable for a visitor to remove one, to keep it for his own healing purposes, so long as he replaced it with another. Two stone basins lay near the south end of the structure, one perhaps for ablutions, the other for donations; in the latter she found several old coins, a single example dated 1865. Although French had discovered (perhaps re-discovered) the Stone Cross, she found no answers to her questions: How old was it? Who made it and why? Who was the last to see it before us? What illnesses had been cured? How many had been truly healed? Beyond these enigmas, she experienced a feeling of profound wonder, a sensation of being in a sacred zone, a sacrosanct area with an emotional character all its own that was not frightening, but certainly powerful. If the Stone Cross of Newfoundland is Norse, its diamond shape renders it a most peculiar Christian design occurring nowhere else, its compass-like configuration might refer to a kind of Christ-of-the Mariners for Vikings far from home, even if that
home were only LAnse aux Meadows. It could also pass for an icon of that other people who supposedly impacted the Micmacs, the ancient Egyptians. For them, Ausar (better known by his Greek name, Osiris), the man-god of resurrection, was a proto-Christian concept associated with the Cross of the Four Cardinal Directions. Despite the presence of a male figure, the Newfoundland Cross is not a crucifix. Whether Christ or Osiris, or someone altogether different, the man received homage in the recent past, judging from the coins left at the site as apparent offerings. But Micmac traditions establish a prehistoric origin for the cross. With a population of 56,000, Moncton is
New Brunswicks second largest city and long an important communication hub. But its status as a venerable rail center and maritime headquarters has nothing to do with its otherworldly significance. This rather unprepossessing metropolis with elegant Victorian Hotels (the Beausejour and Canadiana are the most charming in the province) features two different, apparently unrelated phenomena of nature in extremis. Observers standing in Bore Park, at the east end of Main Street, witness a twice-daily occurrence which most dramatically takes place around the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. This is the worlds highest tidal bore, caused by the tides of the Peticodiac River accelerated by those in the Bay of Fundy. Converging shorelines here and an upward sloping bottom give it the configuration of a funnel. As the tide enters, the water must only go up. From an optimum vantage point, the bore begins to spread across the inlet in a soft hush, steadily gathering momentum into a dramatic roar. Although usually from a few inches to only a foot, the tidal bore sometimes rises to over 50 feet (at the nearby Minas Basin) in a deafening crescendo. As the locals describe the tide, sometimes its impressive; sometimes its not. A bore timetable is on public display in the park. Visitors in search of Monctons other natural curiosity should either drive or bicycle to the corner of Mountain Road (126) and the Trans-Canada Highway. There, they will experience a dimensional warp, an inexplicable fold in the fabric of space, an optical illusion to defy reason, where gravity seems to operate in reverse. What appears to be an upgrade is actually a downgrade. The marvel was first noticed seventy-five years ago, when drivers of the earliest automobiles in Moncton, while driving to the bottom of the hill, appeared to coast back up to the top when they let off the brakes. A billboard erected by the city at the spot reads, Welcome to Magnetic Hill! Proceed to sign ahead for natural phenomenon. Interested visitors should drive down the slope until they reach the bottom, then cross to the left side of the street and stop at the white post. From this spot, turn off the ignition, put the gear in neutral, release the brakes and your

car will magically coast on its own up the same slope back to the top. More than seven decades of investigation have failed to adequately explain what people experience. Baffling as Magnetic Hill may be, it is not unique. Other examples have been found in Ontario (outside Darce, southwest of Renfrew, and near Hamilton, in Burlington) and in Quebec (at the eastern townships and in Montreal). But the Moncton Hill is most pronounced in its effects. Investigator Andrew Tomas writes that Monctons hill is not actually magnetic, because materials other than iron are similarly affected by its forces. Objects of wood or rubber behave identically and even water has been seen to flow up-hill at the site. He quotes several out-of-town tourists, as well as local people, who report sensations of vertigo or nervousness when near the hill: There is something here in the ground. You feel it in your bones. Tomas speculates that pursuing the mystery may someday unlock the secrets of antigravity, the propulsion system by which UFOs are believed to operate. French researcher Jacques Bergier takes a more esoteric approach to Magnetic Hill. He writes that it is a dimensional portal to another level of existence created by a powerfully negative mascon beneath the city, and is focused at the intersection of Mountain Road and the Trans-Canada. A mascon is a concentration of exceptionally dense material (in this case, iron) just below the surface. He also describes an entire Indian settlement in the area that vanished during historic times. Indeed, there are Native American folk traditions of individuals and whole villages which have disappeared. And such tales are not confined to the new world. The ancient Egyptians believed in the concept of the false door as part of their funerary practices. In the tomb was placed (and specially set up and empowered according to criteria since lost) a sealed door, or sometimes just the sculpted rendering of a door, through which the spirits of the departed may travel from this life to the next and back again. In this books chapter on New York, we sited the Thompson Park Lines, where interdimensional shifts still occur, while the Irish concept of stray sod describes a similar phenomenon. Monctons Magnetic Hill appears to be a survival of these ancient, worldwide secret doors to levels of being beyond our own. How they may be spiritually accessed is part of a lost wisdom and, consequently, the site should not be trifled with. Its chief value today lies in the bridge it forms between our material existence and that alternate universe, a bridge not easily crossed perhaps, but important to demonstrate the reality of that universe.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE
Continued from Page 43
countless hurricane-driven tsunamis, 30 feet and higher, have swept across the islands. In the 1950s, an attempt was made to form a small community on the southernmost Joulters island, but it was abandoned when a hurricane destroyed the small, wood-framed homes. All of Joulters is extremely shallow and boats with a draft of more than two feet cannot reach it. From directions given by the locals, we found the underwater wall with Eslie and Krista Brown. We had to enter the area during high tide as we sped over a mile of water only one foot deep. We found the wall exactly as described by the Andros resident. She related that she had seen it twice. The first time, in the early 1990s, a large portion of the wall was intact. She saw it the second time after a severe 1990s hurricane and said that the eye of the hurricane hit that area and destroyed most of the wall and shoreline. The wall was primarily made from square and rectangular limestone blocks that ranged in length from 3-6 feet, a width of 2-3 feet, and a thickness of 6 inches to 3 feet with some blocks far larger. The blocks are obviously cut and roughly dressed and tool marks are clearly visible. One area of the wall remains fairly intact and is found in water about 6 feet deep. Brushing the sandy bottom underneath the lowest tier of stones revealed more limestone blocks under the visible portion. How far down it extends is unknown. This section of the wall runs approximately 30 feet and is formed by the massive blocks stacked on top of each other with 2-3 layers of blocks visible. We found about 50 large stone blocks widely scattered in water around this intact portion as if they had been tossed around by huge waves. Another area of the wall may also be intact, but it is different. This section is made from identical blocks, but they form a nearly square area about 20 feet wide. In general, the top of this square formation is flat and has two layers of blocks. We later looked at this area on modern satellite images, and were astonished that the square area of blocks was quite visible. We found more of the blocks extending off the island in a line over 300 yards long. Most of these were almost completely covered by sand. On the same island we found two small dams made from stone stuck vertically into the bottom. These dams were at the end of long tidal estuaries and were apparently used as fish traps. Bahamian fishermen related that they never built such traps and always used netting. On the other hand, it was a common practice by the Maya. On the next trip there we explored the island end to end. The island has black and white rock. Curiously, four red rocks were found. At the highest two points on the island, on wide and flat areas about 30 feet high, there were piles of small square and rectangular blocks.
These seemed to be ideal as building materials, but they were lying in jumbled masses. June 2007 Andros Expedition Another week-long expedition to Andros was conducted in June by Greg and Lora Little accompanied by Gregs 82-year-old father, Paul. The trip began with a more extensive aerial survey to identify more dark features in other areas of the Great Bahama Bank. Just over 20 of these were found and all but one were subsequently visited on boat along with the Browns. Dark underwater features on the Great Bahama Bank A wide range of findings were made while investigating 20 of the dark underwater features off Andros on the Bahama Bank. Some were formed from dumped bombs, dozens of propane cylinders, and appliances, while several others were formed from stone. One formation, a 500-foot-long form shaped like an eye, had the remains of an old wooden boat in a white spot in its center. Another 500foot-long feature, also shaped like an eye, had the remains of a crashed plane in its white center. The plane may be a Cessna 210, upside down. A retractable nose wheel
landing gear was removed and brought to the boat. Both of these formations were more than 40 miles offshore. In addition, we had obtained our own side-scan sonar, converted it into a portable unit, and used it to examine several of the spots formed from stone to determine the amount of stone and its layout. However, one of the underlying principles in the Atlantis Project is to find things that are definitive, thus these stone formations are of marginal interest to us. Other planes and a Bermuda Triangle mystery solved Three crashed planes, found on Andros, were investigated. One reason that Gregs father Paul went was that he was a WW-II flyer (PBYs) and experienced pilot. One plane, a DC-3, was reached after a grueling 2-hour trek through dense mangrove swamps. Another, the remains of a twin-engine Beech, was found at Morgans Bluff. We interviewed the individual who had dredged it from the bottom in 1989. Finding no bodies in it, he bulldozed it into the jungle. No investigation had ever been done. A host of serial numbers from plane parts were obtained and an FAA staff member is investigating them hopefully to determine the planes identity. The re-

mains of a small planes tail, from a Cessna 172, was found at Red Bays. Investigation of the remaining ID on the tail showed that it was from a plane that reportedly disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1968off Grand Turk. Curiously, the tail was found nearly 400 miles from where the plane disappeared, but the strong currents would have eventually carried it to that area where it eventually washed ashore. While we know this solves one Bermuda Triangle mystery, it doesnt show the cause of it. More research at the Joulters Wall Two more days were spent investigating the wall at Joulters Cay and exploring the islands. Clear water allowed us to take over 4 hours of underwater video of the wall. This time we also explored more of the blocks found further off shore. We believe the wall was at least several hundred yards long, but its purpose is completely speculative. We spoke to several Andros fishermen who were over 80 years old. None of them knew its possible purpose or who built it. One resident simply said, Its always been there. The initial impression is that it might have been a retaining wall of some sort, but the entire area is so shallow that the bringing in of
large boats or barges is simply impossible. We have also done extensive research in journals and magazines from the Bahamas, but it remains a mysteryan intriguing one. June 2007 Bimini Expedition An expedition to Bimini was conducted in late June to perform side-scan sonar on the known underwater formations there. Our side-scan sonar unit provides a highresolution image of the bottom that allows precise measurements to be made on stone. Large portions of the Paradise Point Pier, first reported in 2006, which looks nearly identical to the Bimini Road (except it is well elevated off the bottom), has numerous stone columns scattered on it. We were also able to verify with the side-scan that complete and partial circles formed from huge stone blocks are present at Proctors Road. These appear to have been mooring circles, in use when the sea levels were about 8 feet lower. Marble building remains found. About 7 miles north of Bimini we were led by Krista and Eslie Brown to what appeared to be a small pile of stone in 28-feet of water. The side-scan sonar revealed that
sand was actually covering a widely dispersed area of stone. We managed to completely clear off one of the coral-encrusted blocks and were astonished to see that it was actually an ornate, well-polished triangular apex of a building. It looked like the top of a temple. A small piece of the well-made slab was removed and it proved to be high quality white marble, shining like quartz in the sun. More work revealed long columns and beams of marble, some of which were over 15 feet long before their ends disappeared under the sand. Many other huge slabs of marble were found. It appeared that either one of two things was there. Either a marble temple had been built there and collapsed, or a boat carrying a marble temple had sunk there. But there was no evidence of a boat. Scouring written records a few days later, we found that in 1970, Richard Wingate had found the same formation and determined that a boat was under three layers of marble blocks and slabs. This is found in his 1980 book, Lost Outpost of Atlantis. Donatos rectangles investigated possible building remains seen and photographed Utilizing our side-scan sonar and GPS, we quickly found the rectangular formations off Bimini in 100 feet of water, which Bill Donato first found in his November 2006 project. We dropped a weighted maker buoy directly into one of the rectangles. Eslie and Krista Brown dove the spot and explored the area, taking several photos. The rectangular forms consist of elevated stone on the bottom that has been covered by thick layers of coral. Several of the photos clearly show what seem to be building blocks, some of which are embedded vertically into the bottom. In short, these forms appear, at face value, to be building foundations of some kind. These rectangular forms lie uniformly on a ridge running for at least a mile and a 10-foot drop-off is adjacent to them. This drop-off leads to a narrow flat area that then descends quickly. Found about 10 feet above the 10,000 B.C. shoreline, they raise intriguing possibilities related to Cayces statements about Atlantis and Bimini. Whats Next? Obviously, many of the finds described have to be thoroughly researched. A more extensive investigation into the underwater rectangular formations at Bimini is planned for the near future. A search for historical records of the underwater wall at Joulters Cay is ongoing. Preliminary exploration of the Berry Islands has already begun, but wasnt described herein. It is anticipated that extensive explorations will begin in the Berry Islands in 2008 along with more expeditions on the Great Bahama Bank, both in air and on water. In addition, 2003 expeditions on Andros found at least 4 other crashed planes, but these were not directly investigated. Some of these may well be aircraft that disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle and in 2008 we should know if that is the case.

spiritual renewal, says Smith. His teachings literally saved my life. While apprenticing with don Juan, Smith earned degrees in education and journalism, pursued graduate work in religious studies, and served on the A.R.E. staff and then at the Monroe Institute (where sound technology is used to facilitate the exploration of consciousness). Currently the Communications Director for the Institute for Therapeutic Discovery in Virginia, Smith considers himself a very ordinary guy, holding down a serious job, leading a completely normal life. But he may knock out 20 hours of meditation on the weekend, which for him means dreaming, occasionally visiting alternate realities (hes been to the moon and has experienced himself as a tornado and as a lizard, among other things).The tall, slim Smith says he has dazzling crystalline eyes that are completely bloodshot. Hes a techgeek who sneaks in a Southern accent now and then, along with the truly 70s expression, far out. But hes not, really. For all his dreaming and traveling, Smith is extremely down to earth grounded, he would say. He isnt out to have psychedelic experiences, but focuses on connecting with what you might call the Will of God. I have a problem with creating your own realitytake the energy of desire and use it to get more in touch with how God created you, nurture that and let it grow. He doesnt drink alcohol, and says he tries to eat well, but moderately. Im going out to Burger King as soon as we get off the phone, he informs me. Come on, a Junior Whopper? No worries; hell walk or swim it off. He loves living in Virginia with both the mountains and the ocean nearby, and enjoys experiencing the four seasons. His daughter is the best part of the joy in my life (Smiths upcoming book will address Toltec parenting). While Toltec Dreaming requires some serious mental processing, it is clearly written, and alternates conceptual material with personal anecdotes and comments on don Juans transmissions, as well as many practical exercises for controlling your internal cohesions, thereby shaping your external world. The work is influenced by more than Smiths experiences with the Toltec seer; including talks with people who have had Dreaming Body Experiences (DBEs), the perusal of the Edgar Cayce psychic readings and his own explorations. As a result, he has come up with a three-step process for inducing a dreaming state. This 3E method focuses on expectation (opening perception), excitation (balancing perception) and exploration (focusing perception). A major theme
in the Cayce readings is that as you develop spiritually, you shed the binding and restrictive forces isolating you in a threedimensional, physical reality, notes Smith, who offers another set of procedures to exercise the dreaming body and prepare for a conscious DBE. One of theseToo Tired? grabbed my attention right away. Try this: 1. Allow your fatigue to saturate your physical body. This facilitates relaxation and the notion that it is OK to be fatigued. 2. Perceive a hollow core at the center of your physical body. 3. From that core push or expand the fatigue energy outward in all directions. As you do so, the core of the energy also expands. 4. Contract that energy. The core of the energy will contract as well. Exhale as you expand the energy away from you; inhale as you retract the energy. 5. As you fall asleep (attention, insomniacs!), expand and contract your fatigue energy at your own pace. As you expand and contract the energy, know within yourself that you are doing so in order to build dreaming intent. Many of the exercises are designed to help access cues from the physical body. Smith thinks that if significant numbers of people could access their body-wisdom and achieve deep relaxation, humanity might be able to mitigate a point of no return, known to military pilots as QNR. We may be there, he says, immediately mitigating his own statement: But, if humans made it, they can temper it with actions like those Al Gore recommends. We need to develop a natural balance with nature; right now were taking and pooping, not taking and giving back. Ken Smith advocates developing and harnessing personal power for the purpose of unity with the God-Self, the Field, the Eagle of the Toltec world, and for creating a full, balanced life that is an inspiration to others and a boon to the planet. With both feet on the Earth, dare to soar beyond its bounds. Live in the world well, but be not tethered. Dreaming is a land of potential, a nomoney-down virtual reality technology, he promises. Anything can happen, and often does! Ordinary reality is but one dream, as is non-ordinary reality. Shakespeare said it through Prospero in The Tempest: We are such stuff as dreams are made of, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. And of course, Hamlets famous soliloquy, To sleep, perchance to dream... conjures a sobering reality indeed. As Smith repeatedly advises, clarity and intent are prerequisites for healthy altered states. Before embarking, take a reality check. But do row merrily, for Life, after all, is but a Dream.

Continued from Page 47
published their research report, near-death experiencer Dannion Brinkley published his Saved by the Light. Brinkley described how, when horrifically struck by lightning and technically dead for 28 minutes, he found himself in a crystalline cathedral of knowledge where beings of light granted him 117 glimpses of possible future events. Brinkley later reported that, by early 1998, 95 of these events had come true. A century earlier, in 1896ten years after his brush with death and at the beginning of his career as a fiction writerWells wrote the short story Under the Knife in which the patient-narrator, slipping out of his body during surgery, careens around the physical universe undergoing what sounds very much like a near-death experience. In 1906 Wells wrote a short story, The Door in the Wall, that, while not mentioning death till the end, contains many of the critical details of a near-death experience as they were to be set forth in works like The Truth in the Light and Saved by the Light close to a century later. These details would not be known until the last decade of the twentieth century, when medical science had advanced to the point where victims could sometimes remain dead for periods of as long as a halfhour before they were resuscitated. As Wellss The Door in the Wall begins, the narrator, Wallace, then aged five or six,
finds himself standing in front of a mysterious green door. He wants to go in, but feels either it was unwise or it was wrong of him. Yielding to the temptation and entering, he finds himself in a gorgeous garden with something in the very air of it that exhilarated... something in the sight of it that made all its color clean and perfect and subtly luminous. The boy proceeds down a wide path and meets three beings: two panthers who now escort him, and a tall, fair girl who he meets at the end of the path and who picks him up and kisses him. The girl leads him to a spacious, cool palace where he experiences a timeless interlude of events and game-playing, every detail of which he will forget. A second triad of beings appears: two dear playfellows who were most with me and a somber dark woman, with a grave, pale face and dreamy eyeswho carried a book, and [led me] into a gallery above a hall. The woman opens the book and, the narrator tells us, in the living pages of that book I saw myself. in it were all the things that had happened to me since ever I was born. This apparent classic Dannion NDE life review becomes Brinkley vaster: Then, I turned the pages over, skipping this and that, to see more of this book and more, and so at last I came to myself hovering and hesitating outside the green door in the long white wall, and felt again the conflict and the fear. The boy begins to turn this final page and is stopped by the woman. They struggle; the woman yields; the boy no sooner sees the page when he finds himself no longer in the enchanted garden but in a long gray street in West Kensington, weeping aloud because I could not return to my dear playfellows who had called after me, Come back to us! Come back to us soon! The boy has returned to grim reality, and all through his life he will long to return to the en-
chanted garden. He chances upon the green door three more times. Each time he does not enter, feeling that entry is somehow forbidden. Each of these occasions has found him hurrying to a rendezvous that is crucial to his worldly success; to linger in the garden would be to jeopardize his career. As the story draws to a close the narrator perhaps; we will never knowyields to this vision that seems to reflect his very soul. He disappears, and his body is found in an excavation shaft. Apparently he has fallen through a construction doorway. Wells later wrote about The Door in the Wall: I am more than half convinced that he [Wallace] had, in truth, an abnormal gift, and in a sense, somethingI know not whatthat in the guise of wall and door offered him an outlet, a secret and peculiar passage of escape into another and altogether more beautiful world. At any rate, you will say, it betrayed him in the end. But did it betray him? By our daylight standard he walked out of security into darkness, danger, and death. So sharply near-death experience-likeif brilliantly maskedis this account, that we must ask ourselves if Wells himself didnt actually have such an experience, one that provided him with a profound vision of the future, and one which most likely took place at Holt. Perhaps he did not consciously remember it. If he did remember it, Wells would most likely never have spoken about it: A working class upstart who penetrated to the highest levels of Britains upper-class intelligentsia, he would have been chary of revealing anything about himself that might cast doubt on his sanity. Moreover, in general Wells revealed little of his personal life. A notorious philanderer, he did not allow his autobiographical account of his countless love affairs, H.G. Wells in Love: A Postscript to an Experiment in Autobiography, to be published until every woman mentioned in the book had died. (The last to go was famed author Rebecca West in 1984.) The list of contemporary events and (often New Age) ideas anticipated by Wells in his writings also includes: astral traveling, in The Plattner Story (1896); remote viewing, in The Mysterious Case of Davidsons Eyes (1894); past-life regression and future-life progression, in The Dream of Armageddon (1901); and even cargo cults, in Lord of the Dynamos (1894). How can we account for such prescience? Is genius enough? Only if genius includes bursting the bonds of time and space.

BIOLOGY OF BELIEF Dr. Bruce LiptonThis
groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology by Dr. Lipton (former medical school professor at the University of Wisconsin and research scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine) has previously been offered in VHS/ DVD format. Here, finally, is the written format. His experiments, examining in great detail the molecular mechanisms by which cells process information, have revealed that genes do not, in fact, control our behavior. Instead, genes are turned on and off by influences outside the cell. These influences include our perceptions and beliefs. 6 x 9 H/B, 224 pp., B&W photos & drawings $25.00

CAVERNS, CAULDRONS, AND CONCEALED CREATURES: A Study of Subterranean Mysteries in History, Folklore and Myth
(EXPANDED & REVISED) Wm. Michael Mott This is the first book of its kind in terms of truly going in-depth to examine the striking similarities between folklore, religious, mythic, new age, fictional, and first-hand witness or historical accounts of cryptid and reptilian figures. Drawing from scientific facts, folklore and comparative mythology, and anecdotal sources, it is demonstrable that the structure of our planet is not quite what we have been led to believe. Our species has perhaps experienced, through the ages, encounters and conflicts with others, non-human intelligences or beings of various types who have seldom been our friends, and such encounters are continuing today. 6X8, 440 pp., color and B&W Illus. $28.95
CYGNUS MYSTERY: Unlocking the Ancient Secret of Lifes Origin in the Cosmos Andrew CollinsThe Cygnus Constellation is
the key to unlocking humanitys ancient and universal belief that life originated in the heavensand will ultimately return there.

He also discovered that the use of deep caves by Paleolithic man was crucial to the rise of religious thought and the belief in lifes stellar origins. Modern-day technology has now confirmed the existence of highenergy particles in these cavesparticles that come from a binary star known as Cygnus X3. These ancient people already knew what science is finally confirmingthat the DNA of life originally came from deep space. 6X9 H/B, 368 pp. $24.95

HOW TO SURVIVE 2012: Tactics & Survival Places for the Coming Pole Shift Patrick Geryl (Orion Prophecy and The World Cataclysm in 2012)In his previous books, Geryl presented in great detail the scenario set to take place in the year 2012, a scenario of complete and utter destruction which has occurred in Earths past and will occur again. Due to a recurring pattern of activity in the suns magnetic fields, the magnetic poles of the sun reverse from time to time. This, in turn, causes the release of massive solar flares that lash out into the solar system. These cause havoc with the Earths magnetic field, resulting in the reversal of the Earths magnetic poles, hence a reversal of its very rotation. He explains in detail the myriad problems survivors will encounter and the precautions that need to be taken to overcome them. It is his hope that with this information in hand, enough people will live on to re-establish civilization and continue human life on Earth. 6X9 P/B, 213 pp., B&W photos & illus. $16.95

SACRED SYMBOLS OF THE DOGON: The Key to Advanced Science in the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs
Laird Scranton (Science of the Dogon); Foreward by John Anthony WestIn The Science of the Dogon, Scranton demonstrated that the cosmologNEW! ical structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science. In this book, he points to the close resemblance between the keywords and component elements of Dogon cosmology and those of ancient Egypt and the implication that ancient cosmology may also be about actual science. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. He shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature. He reveals references within the ancient Egyptian language that define the full range of scientific components of matterfrom massless waves to the completed atom, even suggesting direct correlations to a fully realized unified field theory. 6X9 P/B, 240 pp., Illus. $16.95

SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY OF ANCIENT EGYPT: Sacred Science and the Mystery of Consciousness Edward F. MalkowskiSince the
dawn of the Age of Science, humankind has been engaged in a methodical quest to understand the cosmos. With the development of quantum mechanics, consciousness is now being considered as much a fundamental part of reality as the three dimensions with which we are NEW! so familiar. Although this direction in scientific thought is seen as a new approach, the secret wisdom of the ancients presented just such a view thousands of years ago. Malkowski shows that the ancient Egyptians' worldview was not based on superstition or the invention of myth, but that it was the result of direct observation using critical faculties attuned to the quantum manifestation of the universe. In the philosophical tradition of Schwaller de Lubicz, this book investigates the technical and religious legacy of ancient Egypt to reveal its congruence with todays New Science. 6X9 P/B, 448 pp., 35 B&W Illus. $22.95
TRIUMPH OF THE SEA GODS: The War Against the Goddess Hidden in Homers Tales Steven Sora (Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar)Sora compellingly argues that Homers tales do not describe adventures in the Mediterranean, but are adaptations of Celtic myths that chronicle an Atlantic coastal war which took place off the Iberian Peninsula long before. It was a war between the pro-goddess Celtic culture that presided over what is now Portugal and the patriarchal culture of the sea-faring Atlanteans. The invasion of the Atlantean sea peoples brought destruction to the entire region stretching from Western Europes Atlantic border to Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. The goddess became demonized as seen in myths such as Pandoras Box in which woman was seen as the source of evil, not the origin of life, and Homers tale of the epic Greek and Trojan war, which was triggered by the abduction of a woman. 6X9 P/B, 288 pp. $18.95
