Now, we are told, and I am gonna believe it, that history IS coded and recorded in stones and in our cells to. On the other hand we are being told and I am gonna believe it that there are multiple histories, multiple realities, probable worlds etc. Thus making up the history humanity is at the same time choosing its path, it is in part determining both future and past by deciding upon not yet decided and by reversing what still can be reversed. There are some laws here that are yet to be discovered. Not everything is possible, there are more and there are less probable histories, there are things that CAN be changed but there are also other things that CAN'T. We have to yet understand it all.

 > Why do you think earth is hostile? In what sense it is?

The simplest thing is to observe the fact that, in nearly all cases, by the time a person begins to have an inkling of how things work, he dies! It takes a lifetime to have a clue! How can this be? And, in past times, he did not live THAT long! So, an average of 70 years is HOSTILE. And, in fact, most people begin to decline seriously at 50. This is PREPOSTEROUS! To spend 20 years becoming an adult, then only 25 or 30 fully functional (with exceptions) and then spend 20 years declining rapidly???????? Does NOT compute!

And all the so-called reasons for this are the "nature" of the environment - UV radiation, smog and air pollution (which have ALWAYS been with us) and a host of other things including disease, etc. Evolution is COMPLETELY inadequate to explain these things! And, the very nature of SLEEP is contrary to evolution. For fully a third of our lives we are vulnerable to any and everything because of sleep, and if we were ever cave men, we were then, also, and this is HOSTILE to evolution in the accepted sense.

Well, the Gurdjieff thing was not altogether satisfactory to me because he was essentially saying that we did not have a "soul" unless we "crystallized" one through effort. I never believed this. But, I could see that his observations about being able to Manifest soul in the world were valid. But it still did not occur to me that there was any great mystery to this. Just seemed to be the object of repeated incarnations, in which I believed, but he did not.

I see. But we have this idea now that it has all been done on purpose. This is a reasonable hypothesis, I think. So we take it as a working hypothesis and go with it as far as we can. Now there is, it seems, some difference in the methods between us. You seem to be willing to find out the reasons to justify this hypothesis in ordinary historical, archeological, ethnological, anthropological and whatever else "science". I would take the hypothesis, investigate its CONSEQUENCES and find something new AND real which otherwise could not be found. This is the way of physics. These two methods of ours perfectly complement each other in such COMPLEX and WEBBY subject.

 > Well, the Gurdjieff thing was not altogether satisfactory to me > because he was essentially saying that we did not have a "soul" > unless we "crystallized" one through effort. I never believed this.

Because you already HAD a soul. But, perhaps, most "people" do not have one? Or have it in such an embryonal state that it counts as non-existing...

But Ouspensky did.

I already got this feeling when reading Gurdjieff on Moon feeding on our emotions. And these Gurdjieff people would tell that wars are specially invited by some forces and that fear and suffering is a "food" for SOMETHING which was never made clear.

Well, I had a difficult time with that idea. I was still very much believing in buckets of love and light as being the answer for everything. I couldn't conceive of anything being FED by suffering. I just took this idea to mean a "mechanical" thing, by virtue of being "mechanical" in literal terms. Flesh was opposed to spirit. It never occurred to me that flesh could be a HOME to spirit under the right conditions. My idea was that flesh gradually "coagulated" and that man originally lived as a pure spirit being. Which may have some truth to it... but not the way I was thinking then...

I know you are sleeping but you will certainly like to know I was fighting a little with marco yesterday and he was stubborn.... And he would not believe what I was telling him. And I have just computed it and it IS TRUE.

We were right and we have a very nice formula which he did not believe to exist at all! And we knew it EXISTS. And now we HAVE IT!

> SLEEP! > all is okay and alright and your hb is working

This HB must be attracting flies... because, I was sleeping... and there was a noise, like a thump... and I was awake. And I started to push the covers away from my face, but my hands would not obey.

Well, okay, I am familiar with this. So, I concentrate on moving my hands. Nothing. But, my eyes are open and I am looking at where the covers ought to be moving... and I see sort of like a pale light moving where I think I am moving my hands. Okay. So, I think I will just leave it alone and go back to sleep.

But then, I feel something pushing on me from the back. I resist. It pushes harder. Like two hands on my back. I am sleepy, so I started to just go back to sleep anyway. But, I think I ought not to. So, I think: okay, I will experiment. I tried using prayer. Nothing. I tried rebuking in the name of Jesus. Just pushed harder and I could feel myself coming out of my body. So, this made me mad! I said in my head "NOOOOOOOOOO you don't you sorry sumbitch! And I sent my mental force pushing back, and the pressure, the hands, whatever stopped immediately and I was able to move again... and something caught my eye... and it was the shadow of a lizard running across the window, the shadow being cast by the streetlamp outside!!!!

And it was the STRANGEST feeling to see that just then! So, I got up and looked at the clock. I hadn't been asleep long. And I went to the kitchen for a drink, and now am going back to bed.  And there is your message…

How did you know?

So, you see! I told you! they will act on YOU! Because they can't get me that easy. But your protection is faith. When we have problems with your faith because you are in the cry-baby mood then we will have lizzies all around trying all kinds of tricks. But now we are okay and alright and you are safe and protected and understood - they can do very little. At most they would push you on the back. We can live with it. As much as I can live with noises and poltergeists and elf's and fluroids and some little disasters. Some little disasters are unavoidable. They are even good for us because otherwise our vigilance goes weaker and weaker.

So, you say this lizzie was pushing you from the back and tried to make you leave the body.... so that later it would be hard to return....

Well, I will have to invent rather soon some little machine that would act against lizzies as there are these little things that repel mosquitos. Either chemical or they make some little buzzy noise which we do not hear. There must be something like that against lizzies. We will ask C's and perhaps we will do it. Perhaps it is just enough to use some crystal. You know what? I NEVER (almost never) sleep WITHOUT the little bag in my hand or somewhere in the bed. Usually I sleep ON IT. Because I BELIEVE it deflects these lizzies. We must find out something of the kind for you. Apparently topaz is not working.

Been discussing with Marco. He agreed. Even if he says "we both were right" ... well it is his way of saying "you were right". Now I have to compute more.

So I worked with Marco, then we had lunch, now I am alone. Have looked for into what we know from C's about OI.

We know some 10 000 y ago lizard beings put there TDARM for some purpose. It is not active but it will become active because of magnetic anomalies which will be caused by ... perhaps by the events of the incoming wave. But it can be activated in a different way too and it is one of several such on the earth.

It is put at a precise location because of the properties of this location. So perhaps what is important it to look at its coordinates but with respect to the magnetic rather than geographic coordinates.

Then we know that a religious-alchemist sect related to Quorum Rosicrucians and Cajuns, with Nicholas Flamel clearly involved, was instructed (by whom we do not know) to get it out or to do some experiment with it. This sect evidently seeks power but evidently it acts independently of the lizard beings that put it originally there for another purpose. Probably the sect was trying to dig it out to get more power. This sect already has some access to advanced technology. They apparently know some of the alchemical secrets and are applying them. Digging the pit was done this way. They had to move large amount of material. How? With sound? Other means?

We also know it all relates to Arcadia, Templars, Rosicrucians and St. Albans (who is it?)

So this is what I know at present about OI.

I am up Honey. There was a terrible thunderstorm early this morning, and I suppose those silly Lizzies thought they were gonna catch me napping! But, I woke up and turned everything off and pulled the plugs! And OH! How it did storm! And I went back to sleep in the middle of it!

It is still gray outside, but no longer raining.

Yes, you are probably right!

It was certainly a far cry from waking up and finding them trying to float me out the window. But it is SO strange a thing! Since I had only been asleep for about an hour, would we call it a hypnogogic or hypnopompic state? And, it is obviously happening on a different frequency that that on which my flesh exists. It is so funny to be awake and have eyes open and be working to make some small part of the body move, and to see some sort of motion, but not that of the flesh and to be, in some way, disconnected - unplugged - circuit diverted or something.

> We can live with it. As much as I can live with noises and > poltregeists and elf's and fluroids and some little disasters. > Some little disasters are unavoidable. They are even good for us > because otherwise our vigilance goes weaker and weaker.

I certainly was not afraid as I have been in the past. In fact, it was more an irritation and annoyance to have to deal with it! Before, I would have been shaking in terror for days afterward!

Well, someone had said to me that music does this, so I had been sleeping with the radio on very low. Now, I sleep with the CD on and set to repeat over and over. And have not been bothered. But, last night, I forgot to push the repeat button, so it had turned itself off.

> I NEVER (almost never) sleep WITHOUT the little bag in > my hand or somewhere in the bed. Usually I sleep ON IT. > Because I BELIEVE it deflects these lizzies. We must find out > something of the kind for you. Apparently topaz is not working.

Well, we will see! But, it was funny. Afterward, there were some VERY strange thunders. They were "constricted" and "small" sounding, even though they sounded like they were directly overhead and not far away. Just for a few minutes. I did not hear anymore, and went back to sleep. But then, several hours later, there was the terrible storm which had a LOT of very close lightning and VERY loud thunder.

Also, I think that this time period relates to the arrival of the Guanches on the Canaries... and the arrival of the Celts in England. Am not sure, but I think this is what the C's said.

Well, I don't know anything about how to do that. I just know that it is at 64 and a little more longitude, and that if Pointe Percee in Switzerland, or rather, France, just below Lake Geneve, was designated as the 0 meridian, it might do some very funny things to the numbers around the globe. I think that Greenwich was designated just to throw people off in some way. But, nevertheless, it is 64. That is the number of squares on the chessboard. The number of checkerboard tiles that Sauniere had installed in his church, the "64,000" dollar question that keeps coming up... and in 1964 you were 21 and I was 12, so the digits of our ages were the same, only reversed... and 6+4 equals 10, or 1 in numerology. And 6 divided by 4 is what? Well, anyway, we have this 64 that seems to be a funny number for SOME reason, but we don't know what.

Well, I think it has to do a LOT with this underground bases/cities thing I am presently reading about, even though this book is NOT well documented nor does it have a bibliography or notes which I DON'T like.... But J** is going to start checking it out at the Toronto library, so he may come up with something for us.

The Celts: strictly from the HISTORICAL point of view, leaving out that the C's say they came from another planet (Kantek) 80,000 years ago, they are VERY mysterious and have caused scholars of history and genetics all sorts of problems. Because, you see, they are trying to convince themselves of evolution, yet blond haired, blue or green eyed, white skinned people could NOT have evolved in the requisite period from black skinned, dark eyed, kinky haired African prototypes!!! Simply NOT possible. But, they avoid this. Which is NOT to say that both the native Black skinned and Asian types on THIS planet did not have the same fundamental DNA basis as the "Kantekkians." You know, like the "mother genes," and then variations for different environments not only on this planet, but the other one. ALL humans have the same "mother," so to speak.

I remember pinning a biology professor down about it when we were doing "genetics problems." This was a LONG time ago, and not as much was known then as is now, but the Mendelian laws were fairly well established, and I think they hold true today, and there are some mathematical types of problems that one does with genetic characteristics to come up with probabilities for this or that trait to come in the offspring of a particular line. I don't remember all the details, but I remember playing with it one day, and working it backwards, and asking some questions, and it suddenly dawned on me that we are talking about recessive genes that make blue and green eyes... and that means that if a genetic anomaly of a white skinned, light eyed person popped up once in a while, then it would be extincted very rapidly due to the predominance of the the other genes. And, when you talk about albinos, that is something altogether different. So, what are the odds of a white skinned, blue eyed individual popping up in a black environment? Not much. And the idea of "evolving" due to environmental factors are pitifully inadequate to account for this variation within the time frame allowed... even though NOW it has been greatly extended.

And, that reminds me, this Mars landing that everyone is talking about, where they are amazed that there is clear evidence that Mars was once covered with water and must have experienced devastating and violent flood... well, it just irritates me because I described exactly this in my "Noah."

Well, I hope I have helped a little bit, but it is more interesting than that, even! Because, once Europe and Russia and all the North lands were COVERED with a HUGE race of white people who the Roman dominated world view called BARBARIANS. They were the Indo Europeans, supposed to have swept out over the world from the region of the Caucasus (from whence we get the word Caucasian). But, it is all a big mystery, as I said, because geneticists and historians are still trying to fix the origin of man in Africa.

Moslems from North Africa who crossed the straits of Hercules to conquer Spain, and then came over the Pyrenees in an attempt to take over all of Europe. Sort of like the Turks coming up into the Balkans and into the Baltic region...

Well, okay:  Here's from a long document on the web:

Under the name Bogomilism or Catharism the Dualist Church was a European fact from the 10th to the 15th century. The oldest trace was found in Bulgaria where a Pope called Bogomil preached towards 950. It is not known if it was his real name. From there the Bogomilism passed through Dragovitie (West Macedony), Melinguie (Peloponese), Philadelphia in Turkey, Dalmatia and Bosnia. The Bogomilism as a religion disappeared from the Balkans with the conquest by the Turks from 1463 to 1481. Probably the Bogomilism spread to the West from the Balkans but this does not mean that there was no spontaneous germs of Dualism in the West. The first implantation known in the West was at Virtue in Champagne near the year 1000. After 1050 there was a set back due to the success of the Gregorian reforms but it started again around 1100. During the 12th century the implantation grew so rapidly and in so many places that the Catholic Church became worried, probably with reason. The Temporal powers that were linked to it were required to suppress that new religion that threatened the Catholic Church in its structure, its institutions and even in its dogma. The Cathars, of course, did not pay any taxes to the Catholic Church that they considered as part of the Devil. The repression was terrible and many thousands of Parfaits and Parfaites died at the stake. In some places the local authorities did not follow the Catholic Church and the Cathars religion grew so much as to become another institution. It was the case of Bosnia, Lombardy and Languedoc. There we do not have clandestine sects anymore but a new Church that opposes Rome, gets organised, imposes its own economical and social structures, in other words we have an alternative to the Roman Catholic Church.

The following repression of the Cathars in Languedoc has been a terrible tragedy. The political consequence was that Languedoc became part of France whereas before it was more inclined to Barcelona. The Pope Innocent III called for a crusade against the "Albigeois" from 1198. It really started in 1209 and during 9 years the armies from the North led by Simon de Montfort destroyed the Languedoc and murdered thousands and thousands of Parfaits, Croyants and other populations without distinction of their religion but taking their properties in all the cases. From 1216 to 1224 the Lords of the Languedoc fought back and regained their properties and the Cathars came back as before. However Louis VIII's crusade from 1226 defeated completely the Languedoc and the Paris Treaty from 1229 proclaimed the conquest and the annexation. The Inquisition took over the hunting and destroying of the Parfaits and the Cathar religion as a consequence. It took one century to solve definitely the question of the religion Cathar. The creation of the Dominican and Franciscan orders gave the local population a way of life close to what the Cathars preached. The local people could now find something close to Catharism within the roman Catholic Church and this too helped to solve the problem. Catharism came to an end in Italy in the 14th century under the effect of the Inquisition and the appearance of the new catholic orders.

The Cathar message was very deep, exacting and very hard to follow. It was also a message of love, tolerance, freedom and equality between men and women.

> > But why are these Catharist important for us?

One thing is that the literature tells us that they were required to travel in pairs. This was also true of the Templars. The templar emblem is of two knights on a single horse.  But, this is strange, also, because the same image pops up in the alchemical works which we know came originally from Persian through an arabic document. And, the image of the two headed man on a horse is one of the symbols of alchemy. And, this carving on this rock in Rennes le Chateau, DOES look like a really messed up version of this two men on a horse... one with a lance and the other with the shield.  Also, the Celts - the Scythians - (noting that such were dispersed in Central Europe) bore the emblem of the two men - traveling in pairs.

And the same ruling families that defended the Cathars were also part of the beginnings of the Templars in Jerusalem under the name of the Poor knights etc... So, it seems that these families, these people were not only VERY connected to the Templars, they were also VERY connected to the Cathars, and some of the imagery was the same, and they were accused of the same heresies, and it ALL goes back to the Persian Sarman belief, and the use of the device of the Bee (a device or emblem is like a trademark, or an aegis - an image that represents something - even a set of initials, or a letterhead or something like that) And we can relate the Sarman Brotherhood to the Celtic/Druid beliefs. And, remember, the Druids were the poets and high priests of the Celts the "Wise men of the Oak," which is what "Druid" means, and were, apparently, the ones who had the knowledge of how to move stones by canceling gravity!!!

Well, also note above that the Cathars were called "chretien." And the mazes and megaliths of England are called "Troy towns," for some reason that is forgotten. And, that Thor was supposed to have been the grandson of the king of Troy, or "Paris," or "Percy." And, de Troyes was a "bard," and therefore probably also a Druid, because the Druids did not separate the function of priest, wise man, and bard. Which is funny because, in the Odyssey, when a priest and a poet fall on their knees to beg for mercy of Odysseus, he kills the priest and spares the poet because he did not want to anger the gods, the givers of the gift of poetry!!!! Apparently, killing the priest did not even give him pause!!!

There is a short synopsis of the Sarman Brotherhood in the grail file. About two pages.

This was the beginning of the Templars. That was their full name. But everyone just called them the templars. Like Masons are really members of "The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry."

The Templars were EVERYWHERE. St. Bernard was involved with them. They had monasteries all over Europe. Just like there are monasteries for all other orders scattered here and there.

Yes. I have a small photo of reproductions of them.  I think that they must be in the Lincoln, Leigh, Baigent book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." Or one or another of the related books. It is becoming a regular industry to produce books on this subject, which tells us that it must be somewhat misleading!

Well, apparently this is also the belief of the Cathars. But, we don't REALLY know all that they believed or taught. We just know that there are a LOT of clues and what is known on the surface may be misleading.

Well, that is something I never thought of... and probably correct, or very close to correct. But, it seems that he was looking for a certain type of stone.

No. These details came from the little book that was supposedly published by some historical society that went around making tracings of old gravestones to preserve them.

Right. The tomb in the painting by Poussin.  The grave of Marie with the mention of January 17th, the day assigned to St. Anthony and the REDDIS and ET IN ARCADIA business was a different thing...

But, remember that funny session... can't remember which ... when the C's suddenly popped up and said: "What is Anna doing with those keys?" Now, this startled me, because MY Anna was sleeping! And the only OTHER one .... and they had said, "You have been given the keys to end all this pain..." And I was thinking about it... and finding those funny things about brain chemicals and hormones that "unlock" DNA because the locks are all over the neural membranes.  And, the C's saying that "locks" had been placed on knowledge that was placed inside me before I was born... and then, all the funny things that happened while you were here (mainly the sleep events)

And it also may show some sort of pattern that is amenable to mathematical expression and may teach something even deeper that we do not know yet. The fact is, the C's introduced me to certain ideas that led me to search, at which point YOU entered the picture, with certain things that were DIRECTLY related to this subject, EVEN your NAME! And there are just TOO many connections to even TRY to think that it is mere coincidence!!! If we were to list them all, I think they would cover several pages!!!

I think we do not buy these things. They do not agree with what we tend to think we understand. First in Gurdjieff we learn that Creator-God was "forced" to invent time and matter and chaos and irreversibility because otherwise the world refused to evolve - it was collapsing. It agrees with what we know from Pleiadians and from C's. So these Cathars got a glimpse of a something but a very little glimpse comparing for instance the places where G was learning his lessons. I think so.... Of course the Cathars religion and their religious institutions had certainly many layers and there was a knowledge for "everybody" where God was all good and there could well be another level where God was also responsible for all the idea of the creation.

Marco was calling twice and Phillipe was calling from Paris where he is now.

and what did we learn????? Well I have invited Josephson to come to the QF conference. Josephson is a Nobel prize winners but in recent years he was working on parapsychology and all such things. He has been recently in Zurich and was giving a talk their and apparently he became totally mentally ill. Do we guess why? Is it the first time that some of those who research into these areas become "mentally ill"? Do we know something about mind control? We do.

But, also, they are only formulated in a "back engineered" sort of way. No one REALLY knows what the INNER Cathars believed. A lot of this is "assumed" from the discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts... and reconstructed from them. I rather think that the Cathars had quite more Sufi like beliefs. And the Sufis, at least the ones following Al-Arabi, were QUITE like the C's! It was just amazing to me to read this and see the relationships.

This can be done in private talk and after a while. Otherwise it is either useless or dangerous or both. I think it is very important for our own safety not to try to communicate anything "unusual" to those that are not seeking this with us by themselves, or those who are put in our way somehow (like it was with Moshe when I "knew" that it is safe to tell you "some").[…]

> So, maybe Josephson is getting close?

I guess he simply learned "too much" and the "memory doctors" took care he will not get any further. This is what I was told. He was giving a talk in Zurich (Claus Hepp whom I know was there) and he could not remember what he was talking about without looking at his written lecture. But he is not old. A possibility is that he got into this state by taking mind changing drugs. But then WHY somebody is doing it? Aha! Here we are. Or he got into this state because of some little device planted/implanted at the right place. So, he is not "crazy" but he has "mental problems" as Phillipe described it. So that Claus Hepp told Philippe that "if Josephson will not come to Wroclaw - we should not feel we are losing something". Well.....

I will now perhaps concentrate on reading your little booklet of excerpts ... apart of my math. BTW today I talked to Marco, I will have a seminar here and the Department will pay me 120 bucks for the seminar. So you see... I promised and here it is. The only limits are self-imposed limits!

Well. That is not very sympathetic. But, then Hepp doesn't know a lot about "other things," I expect... Seems that, without an open mind, one cannot obtain the knowledge that is necessary for protection for any PART of the mind that works!

And, even then, it is a constant state of vigilance, which is what Gurdjieff SAW in a way, but was, perhaps, not altogether informed as to the reason. He called it the "law of octaves." And, in a sense, perhaps it is this sort of a funny circle that has points where "shocks" could keep in from turning around. All of this was very interesting to me.

And, of course, what else was interesting was the idea of "impressions" being "food." In terms of neurotransmitters and hormones, this is SO TRUE! I know that I feel so completely different with you than I have ever felt in my life, and that this has effected some DEFINITE physiological changes and who knows were it will go?

For some reason I have a strong back ache and a little head ache after being "pushed" last night...

And those nasty Lizzies thought they would play games with ME!!! I guess they had a rude awakening!!! It was a funny feeling, flinging "mental force" at them. But, it worked. And that DOES seem to be the thing that works. And their major trick is in making one think that it is not important enough, or that one does not HAVE a defense, or that one is helpless and weak or too tired or that it is just easier to be lazy and let them do whatever they like!

So, it is sort of like overturning the tables of the moneychangers in the Temple, which, I think, is the prototype of how one deals with such beings. They must be literally "driven out."

So, it is funny. I rather think it would not have happened if you were here. Nor, would it have happened if I had not felt so terrible the past two days so that some sort of chemical change took place in me. I could feel all sorts of things inside me just folding up or closing or something. It was actually painful in a physical sense.

If I can, I will swim tonight. We will see.

But, I am feeling VERY sorry for this Mr. Josephson who is obviously under a terrible attack. But, it may make him open to understand what is behind it later. One can never tell.

I am up. But not too much else!

I haven't done anything of value today, except suffer. And, that is assuming that suffering has value.

Just imagine a dinner plate. Place in against my back with the center about 3 inches below my waist. This is the central point of pain, and the radius of the plate is the area covered by fairly intense, waves of pain.

I have been in the tub twice for an hour each time. I have taken my pain pills that almost never fail me... I have tried sitting and lying down. And the only thing that makes any difference is to change my position once in a while. I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. And, my stomach is puffy, but, thank God I am not having cramps. (Knock wood) That probably will come next.

I have tried to read. I can't concentrate. I can't type for too long... I get up and walk through the house... look out the windows, get a drink of water, come back and lie down. Try to read. Can't.  Put book down. Try to sit here for a while and type. Can't concentrate. Get up. Lie down. Get up. Walk through the house... etc. I think I have brushed my teeth 5 times. Just to have a reason to get up and walk a little. But, then my legs get weak and I have to come right back. I feel like my skin is going to just peel off all the way down to the bare muscles.

Well, I have had worse. So, it will pass. I should be thankful that I am not nauseous along with it.

And, on top of everything, I am looking at these tapes I set out on the desk, and feeling guilty about not being able to sit still and concentrate on them.

Well, anyway. Let me send this so I can go and get on the bed and see if there is some way to be less miserable than another. I don't think so. But, I keep trying. Maybe I will go and make a cup of tea. In fact, I think I will. […]

Found this

If a woman has abdominal or menstrual pains, and the abdomen feels hard and swollen, it is a combination of cold and Qi illness.  This may be due to the fact that the patient ate too many cold things during her youth, or that she overworked during her menstrual periods or pregnancies. Treatment should focus on warming up the area and moving the Qi.

Well, I didn't eat too many cold things in my youth... But I can certainly confirm that I did work no woman should EVER do both during periods and pregnancies! Actually, I think I have done things women shouldn't have to do in general at ANY time.

The year I was pregnant with my fourth child was the beginning of L's devotion to "natural living." You know, no electricity, log cabin, no running water - hand pump - that sort of thing. And he was never available when I needed help... so, right up to the day I went to the hospital I was carrying 5 gallon buckets of water to bathe the children every night. And God forbid - if they were sick, I just had that much more water to carry. In fact, he wanted me to have the baby at home... but if I had, we would have both died. Of course, he said I ought to be able to do like the Africans... you know, stop plowing the field with a stick, have a baby in the bushes, chew the umbilical cord with my teeth, and tie it to my back and go back to work...

Well, somehow I was just not made to function this way.  I never complained. But he did.

Oh, well. No point in thinking about it. It still exhausts me to think about all the diapers I washed by hand. Often when it was rather cold, and my hands would turn blue while trying to hang them out to dry. Well, other women have suffered worse and done more.  And survived. […]

Well, as I just said, look in the library and see what you can copy before you spend any money on any of them. I am still perfectly ecstatic with the little book on the Canaries, which I have assembled into a cover so that it is protected. It is VERY important. I would like to know more about the group that translated and published it - the Hakluyt Society in Liechtenstein, or something like that. I think I have heard something about that place being where some secret society has its headquarters, but I don't know for sure where I heard it or what it was.

> I have seen the book by Chretien (its English translation that is) > on Percival.

Well, we can get this cheaper here.

> In the book on Celtic Mythology it is written that these Celts > have something to do with Slavic people ... perhaps you were > telling me this too. And that there original language has something > common with Slavic languages. Funny.

Indeed! And, it seems that there is MORE of the original Celtic myths and words and "flavor" in the Baltic areas than anywhere else!  This was what I learned through the "Brana" event. I tracked that word all over and it kept circling around back to the Baltic. So, I decided that the areas between the Caucasus and the Baltic Sea must have been the "cradle of the Celts" at least, for a LONG time after Atlantis. And the ancient gods of the Celts are found most strongly represented in Ireland and along the Baltic, and I think the Baltic representations are the older ones. I would REALLY like to know about any archaeological stuff going on in that region. I hear that there is an ongoing "dig" in Czechoslovakia that is VERY old - and I mean VERY, VERY old. And, some things in the region of Lithuania are even older.

Unfortunately, the Catholic church was usually pretty thorough in stamping out opposition and destroying evidence and documents just about everywhere they went. There has never been such an organization of destruction and desecration, in my opinion, than the Christian churches, starting with the Roman church.

> I am reading your excerpts on Grail

I have decided to eliminate the consideration of the Marie gravestones from my pondering of the Poussin and Teniers paintings.  I don't know if you have seen them. But, I am looking at reproductions of them in this book I have. And, I just look every once in a while. And think. And then, of course, there is the image of Mary Magdalene that Sauniere did, himself, on the altar at the Rennes le Chateau church that I look at. And, I notice something strange.

First of all, in the Arcadian Shepherds painting, there are the three guys and the shepherdess. One of the guys is on his knee before the tomb and has finger touching the letter Rho. Now, the next letter in the saying is Chi. This looks in the English alphabet as PX. Well, this is also RC, or Rosie Cross. And, we know that the Rose of "Rosie Cross" represents the female genitals! Okay, the guy is touching the Rho. (Remember that "rose," can be rearranged to "eros.') And, while touching it, he is looking up at the shepherdess. The other guy is pointing at the tomb and looking at the shepherdess as though to say "this tomb represents YOU!"

Okay, the third guy is standing at the end of the tomb with his legs crossed, looking not too interested.

So, there is the bended knee, or "conjugal," the "hands," (teniers) of the images indicating the relationship of the woman to the tomb and the pointing out of the RC, or Rosie Cross.

So, that is what I noticed.

Your new moon cycle started today, and, for the most part, it looks to be a good month with just a few glitches. There is something funny today and tomorrow... but can't really tell. It is Saturn in 90 degree (square) aspect to the Sun. It can relate to the health, or the health of your mother - but I rather think that it would be a male, and possibly a friend or colleague because there are no feminine aspects. It is strictly male, whoever it is or whatever it is. And it goes from the 10th to the 1st. So, it may affect you in some physical way, or it could just be a physical thing. Be VERY careful physically! Do not overdo anything for the next two days.  And just keep your eyes open for either something to happen, or that someone may try to do something negative toward you in a professional way.

[…]You will probably notice in some of the grail stories the reference to the fisher king and the "wounded thigh" and the spear in the side.

These are funny images, aside from the idea that Eve was made from a rib taken out of Adam's side, and that the "bleeding lance," can represent something having to do with this, though I am not entirely sure how I would interpret it.

But, one of the "stations of the Cross" in the Rennes le Chateau church supposedly shows: a child swathed in Scottish plaid, Pontius Pilate wearing a veil, Sts. Joseph and Mary EACH holding a Christ child, as if to allude to the old legend that Christ had a twin. St. Roch displays his wounded thigh, like the Grail King Anfortas, (the Fisher King) and St. Anthony the Hermit holds a closed book. St Germaine releases a bevy or roses from her apron, and the Magdalene is shown holding a vase."

In the Teniers painting of St. Anthony, he is shown in a grotto reading a book at a table while all sorts of bizarre creatures cavort around him and he seems to be ignoring all. There is a skull on the table under his book. The creatures seem to be a mixture of hogs, fish, leprecauns, snakes, and gnomes. One of them is holding a cup (or it could be an hourglass) and is whispering to the monk... and a horrible looking bat like creature is directly over his head.

There is a sort of window, or cleft in the wall of the grotto, (which is dark), and the shape of this window is distinctly "feminine." And on the sill of the window, which is admitting the ONLY light into the darkness, is a beautiful jug, or pitcher, or jar, and there is a bird perched on the edge of it, drinking. But, Anthony is oblivious to all as he forces his attention to his book.

Now, the funny thing about this "window, or cleft in the rock," is that it is also very similar to a "crack" or cleft in the stones of the tomb in the Arcadian Shepherds painting. And, of course, the kneeling shepherd is bearded, as the Cathars were required to be.

So, there are a couple of other things that sort of fit.

Did you know that the root of Francis Bacon's name is "BEECH?" And that the "number" of his Latin signature, (which he most often used,) is 17? Seventeen being the number of the feast day of St. Anthony?

Now, of Bacon it is said: "No reasonable doubt remains that the Masonic Order is the direct outgrowth of the secret societies of the Middle Ages, nor can it be denied that Freemasonry is permeated by the symbolism and mysticism of the ancient and medieval worlds. Sir Francis Bacon knew the true secret of Masonic origin and there is reason to suspect that he concealed this knoledge in cipoher and cryptogram. Bacon is no so much to be regarded solely as a man, but rather as the focal point between an invisible institution and a world which was never able to distinguish between the messenger and the message.

"It was in recognition of Bacon's intellectual accomplishments that King James turned over to him the translators' manuscripts of what is now known as the King James Bible for the presumed purpose of checking, editing, and revising them. The documents remained in his hands for nearly a year, but no information concerning what occurred in that time is to be had.

"Sir Francis Bacon, the Rosicrucian Initiate, wrote into the Shakespearian plays the secret teaching of the Fraternity of R.C. and the true rituals of the Freemasonic Order, of which order it may yet be discovered that he was the actual founder!

"W.F.C. Wigston called the 'Bard of Avon,' (Shakespeare) 'Phantom Captain Shakespeare, the Rosicrucian mask.'"

And, funny that we have so many "spears," in the grail stories!!!

But, anyway, it says about the ciphers of Bacon: "Sir Francis Bacon's cipher number was 33. In the first part of the play, King Henry the Fourth, the word Francis appears 33 times on one page.

"The light and dark shaded 'A' is an interesting example of emblems denoting volumes containing Baconian ciphers. [..] Also, there are combinations of symbols: the rose, the cross, urns, bunches of grapes, etc.

"Sir Francis Bacon was a link in that great chain of minds which has perpetuated the secret doctrine of antiquity from its beginning.  This secret doctrine is concealed in his cryptic writings.

"Masonic research might discover much of value if it would turn its attention to certain volumes published during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries which bear the stamp and signet of that secret society whose members first established modern Freemasonry, but themselves remained as an intangible group controlling and directing the activities of the outer body. Freemasonry is the son of a mysterious and hidden father. It cannot trace its parentage because that origin is obscured by the veil of the superphysical and the mystical.

"The mysteries of the ancients were secretly perpetuated through being clothed in the symbolism of Christianity and were accepted as elements of that faith.

"Sir Francis Bacon either formulated the Fraternity of R.C. or was admitted into an organization that was already existing under that name and became one of its principal representatives.

"For some reason not apparent to the uninitiated, there has been a continued and consistent effort to prevent the unraveling of the Baconian skein. Whatever the power may be which cntinually blocks the efforts of investigators, it is as unremitting now as it was immediately following Bacon's deathe, and those attempting to solve the enigma still feel the weight of its resentment.

"According to material available, the supreme counncil of the Fraternity of R.C. was composed of a certain number of individuals who had died what is known as the 'philosophic deeath.' When the time came for an initiate to enter upn his labors for the Order, he conveniently 'died' under somewhat mysterious circumstances. In reality he changed his name and place of residence, and a box of rocks or a body secured for the purpose was buried in his place. It is believed that this happened in the case of Sir Francis Bacon who, like all servants of the Mysteries, renounced all personal credit and permitted others to be considered as the authors of the documents which he wrote or inspired."

And, since we know that Bacon supposedly died from "stuffing a rooster with snow," we can think that this could relate to the idea of the "snow covered" peak of Tejeda, on Tenerife. Especially now that we have a relationship between the "crowing of the rooster," and the "underground cities."

But, the funny gravestone of Marie de Negri etc, which supposedly had the "Et in Arcadia Ego" phrase on it also, had the letters arranged in a funny way:

So we see that Rho Chi is separated out as well as Delta Iota. And, this is in Greek, while all the rest is in Latin.

Well, we have RC and DI which, putting the A+RC togerher and the AD+I can indicat the presence of Bacon, the Rosicrucians, and Tejeda, or Mt. IDA.

The reason all this relates is because of the "Eleusinian Mysteries," the Cult of Dionysus, and the Dionysian Architects!

Supposedly the "Dionysian Architects" were an ancient secret society who were supposedly employed by King Solomon in the building of his Temple (a little Templar connection here). Supposedly they erected many of the great monuments of antiquity and had a language and system of marking their stones that was secret. Nobody knows anything about their teachings and, supposedly, CHiram Abiff, very important in Masonic symbolic teachings, was an initiate. So, we have the CH + A.

Now, the reason all this relates to the grail is because of the story of Dionysus, who is actually the form behind the Jesus story. In fact, the water turned into wine at the marriage of Cana, (remember that jars represent the feminine) is an allegory directly relating Jesus to Dionysus. And, that it was turned into wine at a "marriage," tells SOMETHING!

But, this Dionysus was funny because, his mother was killed while she was pregnant with him, and his father, Zeus, carried him to term in his OWN body either in his thigh, or his side, depending on the source. (Ovid, or the later Greek tragedians.)

So, there is a direct relationship here, somewhere!!!

And, what about "picking corn on the Sabbath?"

Well, Ceres was the "goddess of corn." And the Sabbath was the "feast of the menstruating Moon Goddess." And Ceres (or Demeter) and Perse - phone were the central figures of the Eleusinian mysteries!  And, no one knows exactly what these were, because the initiate swore an oath when admitted...

But, the main thing about Demeter/Ceres/Corn is that her daughter/Persephone/Soul was stolen from her and taken to the underworld. A compromise was agreed upon between her and the Lord of the Underworld, that Persephone would divide her time between the two places. So, this tells us that a balance of matter and spirit can be achieved through the compromise of Ceres/Demeter. And, when Persephone is "in the world" then the gifts of the earth, the fruits of the vine, etc are abundant.

And, we notice also that the feast of Mary Magdalene, is on July 22, exactly one "feminine" cycle past "Midsummer's Eve." Also the numbers 7 and 22, or 2x11.

Anyway, this is what I have been thinking about it all. There are some really nifty math things and diagrams and so forth in this book that you will like to look at, I think. So, when you are home, we will look at it and discuss it.

Yes?

Sorry it took so long writing all this!
