The Black Death

Rodmen

The Force is Strong With This One
Hi all,

When clicking on links left here and there in the most recent SOTT “Connecting the Dots” article, I was lead to reread one of Laura’s most fascinating articles: “New Light on the Black Death: the Cosmic Connection”. I had read the whole series back when it was first posted and I had taken a mental note to avail myself of some of the literature that was referenced there, like Cohn’s “The Black Death: Transformation of the West” and Horrox’s “The Black Death”. As it turned out, I was sidetracked in this commitment by the relentless downpour of prosaic preoccupations that seem to flood us all (like, how to make ends meet and keep “head above the water” in the midst of everyday life struggles).

Something struck as curious when rereading Laura’s Black Death article which could only have become significant after reading the June 20 Session Transcript. In this transcript the C’s seem to have directly discredited the much taunted 2012 marker as a “distraction” in favour of 2014 by saying something like “5 more years 2 go to 0 new year”. Well, as you all know, Laura relates in the article that the Black Plague probably had nothing to do with the Bubonic Pest, rats, fleas, or anything of the sort, and it’s ultimate cause may have been something more “celestial” in origin. After reading all the article and trying to correlate it with other concepts expounded by Laura, like the that of the “Crypto-geographic entities”, as well as that of the upper-dimensional origin of manifestations that we tend to take as merely local, as severe weather, lightning and storms, the whole Black Plague scenario seems indeed to be a 3rd. density manifestation of some “upper” cosmic drama directly traceable to something that we could describe as an archetypal “crypto-geographic Beast” with capital “B”, or, to put it another way, some oversized Lord of Entropy.

As Laura writes, the contemporary chronicles abound in references not only to “rains of fire”, toxic vapours coming down, major earthquakes, etc., but also references to major and “minor” beasts of all sorts playing a part:

It says in the same letter that in this year [1348] fire falling from heaven consumed the land of the Turks for 16 days; that for a few days it rained toads and snakes, by which many men were killed: that a pestilence has gathered strength in many parts of the world. (Horrox)
From Samuel Cohn's book:
... a dragon at Jerusalem like that of Saint George that devoured all that crossed its path .... A city of 40,000 ... totally demolished by the fall from heaven of a great quantity of worms, big as a fist with eight legs, which killed all by their stench and poisonous vapours. (Cohn)
A story by the Dominican friar Bartolomeo:
... massive rains of worms and serpents in parts of China, which devoured large numbers of people. Also in those parts fire rained from Heaven in the form of snow (ash), which burnt mountains, the land, and men. And from this fire arose a pestilential smoke that killed all who smelt it within twelve hours, as well as those who only saw the poison of that pestilential smoke. (Cohn)

So if my line of thinking were correct, then 666 would indeed be, and quite rightly so, the “Number of the Beast”, because the Black Plague took place exactly on 1348. Now, you may have already figured this one out, but only 664 separate that date from 2012, but exactly 666 lay between 1348 and 2014.

Food for thought or mere ramblings? Can I ever be sure which?

Hi Rodmen,

Perhaps this quote from Foucault's Pendulum, by Umberto Eco, is appropriate here. (Foucault's Pendulum, Eco, 1988, pp.288, 289)

Amid all the nonsense there are some unimpeachable truths... I invite you to go and measure [an arbitrarily selected, but specific] kiosk. you will see that the length of the counter is one hundred and forty-nine centimeters - in other words, one hundred-billionth of the distance between the earth and the sun. The height at the rear, one hundred and seventy-six centimeters, divided by the width of the window, fifty-six centimeters, is 3.14. The height at the front is nineteen decimeters, equal, in other words, to the number of years of the Greek lunar cycle. The sum of the heights of the two front corners is one hundred and ninety times two plus one hundred and seventy-six times two, which equals seven hundred and thirty-two, the date of the victory at Poitiers. The thickness of the counter is 3.10 centimeters, and the width of the cornice of the window is 8.8 centimeters. Replacing the numbers before the decimals by the corresponding letters of the alphabet, we obtain C for ten and H for eight, or C10H8, which is the formula for naphthalene. ...With numbers you can do anything you like. Suppose I have the sacred number 9 and I want to get the number 1314, date of the execution of Jacques de Molay - a date dear to anyone who professes devotion to the Templar tradition of knighthood.

...Multiply nine by one hundred and forty-six, the fateful day of the destruction of Carthage. How did I arrive at this? I divided thirteen hundred and fourteen by two, by three, et cetera, until I found a satisfying date. I could also have divided thirteen hundred and fourteen by 6.28, the double of 3.14, and I would have got two hundred and nine. That is the year Attalus I, king of Pergamon, ascended the throne. You see? ...The universe is a great symphony of numerical correspondences... numbers and their symbolisms provide a path to special knowledge. But if the world, below and above, is a system of correspondences where tout se tient, it's natural for the [lottery] kiosk and the pyramid, both works of man, to reproduce in their structure, unconsciously, the harmonies of the cosmos.
 
Yeah, most appropriate indeed: it’s the old debate about the merits of the phonetic Cabala as opposed to the numeric Kaballah, and surely I may have somewhat yielded to the temptation to take the Kaballah approach, but what I really meant to do with my posting is to try and jump-start an exchange of ideas about more general topics that may lead to valuable realizations.

In this case, the 666 theory would serve us just as well if it can lead to, for example, a discussion about something more important like: are all prophesies “Lizzie inspired”? And even if that were the case, should we dismiss them off-hand and risk throwing away the baby with the b... (you know how the saying goes)? Hasn’t Laura herself not said that even Lizzie inspired material may contain elements of truth around which some other more dubious layers are wrapped? Should we consider that perhaps those truth cores may turn out to be pieces of the puzzle?

That sort of thing. Mind you, I'm not generally fond of prophesies, except as some sort of skeleton blueprint for cyclical events that may tend in general terms to be recurrent only because their ultimate cause may lie in an eternal play of Archetypes staged at higher levels. And if we are indeed pieces on a chessboard, I think it behooves us to try to figure out just what's on the mind of the Players.

Hi all,

you remember this?

Are we going to see a return of the Black Death?

A: Extremely likely.

Black Death started in Europe in 1346 in Italy, 1348 in most of Europe.
So add 666 to each date: 1346 + 666 = 2012, 1348 + 666 = 2014 :evil:

I remember the hint: 2012 is not the special date, it is 2014.

Before 1346 we found earthquake, dry and wet periods around the world and !!! a comet.

What is your opinion?

All the best
Corwin
 
That´s interesting corwinvonamber, I´ve Remember read the Book "The pest" ( Daniel Defoe 1660-1731), took my attention how he wrote about the comet before the arriving of the "pest" and how people survive smoking Tabaco!!!! :cool2:
 
It could be. Nonetheless the future is always open.

Have you read the last C's sessions entirely, corwinoamber? Cause the C's gave a time frame from 18 months to 2 years.

Session 13 Feb 2011
 
I found this piece by Laura on the Black Death as related to Cometary Disasters and other Natural Disasters to be very informative and relevant to the topic at hand. This is a hit-and-run post before bedtime, sorry I can't leave a more thorough comment on it.

Also Another hit for the Cs take a look at this

Session Date: February 13th 2011
A: And that is only the core.

Q: (Psyche) Yeah, and the tail... (Andromeda) Anything else on Elenin? (Perceval) We'll have to wait and see? (Psyche) Are we going to see a return of the Black Death?

A: Extremely likely.

Q: (Galaxia) In Europe first? Where's it gonna hit?

A: Wait and see.

Q: (Galaxia) Oh no! That's all I've got to say.

A: Those that have a certain genetic profile may suffer very little.

Q: (Andromeda) Is that any of us? (Galaxia) That doesn't sound like anybody is immune... like, "They'll suffer very little before they die!"

A: Smoking tobacco is a clue and an aid.

Q: (L) A clue to the genetic profile?

A: Yes.

Q: (Psyche) Oh, interesting. [everyone lights a cigarette and starts laughing] (Psyche) Everybody lights up! I feel like smoking! (laughter)

A: It is not just aliens that don't like to eat people that smoke! But from a certain perspective the viruses that cause such illnesses as the Black Death are "alien".

Q: (Belibaste) So it means that aliens like the Black Death virus because they don't like people that smoke? (L) What? (Psyche) No, you should read the article in the next issue of The Dot Connector magazine: "New Light on the Black Death: The Viral and Cosmic Connection". (L) If you look at it from a 4th density perspective, when something like the Black Death comes and there is global suffering - and when you read about it, the Black Death is just horrible - but if there was such suffering on our planet from something like that, 4D STS would be getting a rich feast of suffering which is what they feed on. So, an alien virus would be interactive with 4D reality by providing its food.

A: Close enough!

Q: (Andromeda) When will this start? (Atriedes) That's kind of a prediction... (laughter) (Galaxia) Soon, or long term?

A: 18 months to 2 years.

Q: (L) In other words, if Elenin or something else has something like that in its tail, and the earth goes through the tail, it can still take a year or so for it to precipitate onto the earth?

A: Yes

A mysterious bacterial outbreak occured in Europe and this is probably what the Cs are referring to.

It's a little depressing to know that almost everything is going to end or change.

:cry:I didn't have a good girlfriend. But that doesn't matter, interesting times we live indeed.

It is depressing, but overall things will change for the better. The worst part for me is knowing that everthing will start to drastically change and there is little to nothing I can do to warn my love ones for what might possibly happen in the near future. I just hope that I am prepared, that is all I can do.

And I had a bad relationship with my girlfriend to Brunauld, who needs them when we got more important things to be focusing on. :)

zim,

Do you have any more information on that book "The Pest" that you speak of here? Nothing turned up when I did a web search on that title/author. Maybe it's not an English book? (Although I thought Defoe was an English author, no?)

Thanks!
 
Hi RyanX,

I could be wrong but it's possible that the reference is to this book titled "A Journal of the Plague Year". There is a reference to comet, pestilence and tobacco in it and this book can be read here. :)

That looks about right Vulcan. I'll give it a read and see. Thanks! :)

There's also a free eBook by Daniel Defoe on Amazon called "History of the Plague in London".
