It is a very pleasant 78 degrees out on the porch, and I have been sitting out there with the kids just talking about this and that. We were laughing over The Baby and her "kidneys." For some reason, she got it into her head that kidneys meant Kid knees, and no one was able to explain it to her for a LONG time! It was like Ali and Miami. We could not make her understand that it was "MIAMI." She would say: can we go to YOURAMI. And we would say: It's not YOURAMI, it's MIAMI. And she would say I know... I want to go to YOURAMI!  So, it was very funny.

And, we had a talk this evening. I tried to keep it as low-key as possible, but she just seemed determined to turn the whole thing into a control issue. She did not understand a single thing I said. She did not WANT to understand. It was just like talking to L and having every word twisted and thrown back at me. So, finally, I said: let's just drop it for now, and you think about it for a few days, and we will try to discuss it again. She was crying and feeling VERY sorry for herself, and like I was being VERY unfair to her. And I was feeling like my heart was breaking because I could SEE that she was locked inside an illusion and I could not get to her and she is my child and I love her so much that I almost cannot bear to hurt her by making her look at some facts and deal with them.

In fact, she is NOT looking at them or dealing with them. She immediately turned on me, her brother and sister, and started accusing them of doing this or that and I talked with them later, and am convinced that she is only judging them by her own internal state which is NOT good. And, Honey... this one REALLY hurts! I love that child so much that it is almost unbearable to see her so far away from me. And I know that the only thing that will bring her back, IF she can be brought back, is for me to be very hard and not give in to her manipulations. And, there is also the possibility that I CANNOT bring her back, or that I never had her, that it was MY illusion. And THAT breaks my heart.

So, when it was done, as calmly as possible, which was not TOO calm, but not too bad, either, I was DRENCHED with sweat! It just upset me SO much and I was exerting SO much effort to try to make her understand and see.

And, it only came about because she came in and announced that she did not have enough money to get through the next week. And, I was upset because there is nothing I can do about it. And, even if I could, I don't think it would be the right thing to do at this point. I don't think I should subsidize her in this "fast" lifestyle of materialism, revenge and petty meanness. She is like a completely different person than she used to be. The thing that really upset me last week was when she was going to pay some of her "friends" to go a beat up a guy who "insulted" her by going out with another girl. Well, SHE didn't want the guy herself, so I just think this whole attitude and path is VERY negative and has bad energy and I don't know where she has picked up these ideas.... unless it was from being around Patrick and she is now possessed in some way. That is the only thing I can think... but, even THAT is a choice of sorts. How can I interfere if she does not ask for help? If she does not think she NEEDS help to change her choices?

So, your HB is VERY unhappy tonight. I would rather cut off my hand than hurt one of my children. But, what she is doing is so self-destructive that it would be more criminal to allow her to continue by subsidizing or tacit approval. Not saying no is as good as saying yes to these kinds of energies. So, all I can do now is pray.

So, I did NOT get any real work done as far as typing. But, I did some reading and made some notes, and received an e-mail from Mann... the book is on the way. So, we will have it and see. I also received a nice note from Molly Cochran Murphy who wrote "The Forever King" that I was telling you about some time back. It is sort of like a "grail quest" set in modern times, with all sorts of funny references. She says that writing this book rather scared her because it "wrote itself" from somewhere. So, I thought that this was rather interesting.

Now, I had better send this as I see you will soon be coming in.  And, let me see if I can put myself into a better frame of mind so that I can be more helpful to you and not such a burden.

Honey, I have been looking at my chart, and it LOOKS like this situation with Ali will have a positive outcome. I am just praying so hard. I have to do what is right, no matter how much it hurts me to do it. I never believed in too much physical punishment... that was the sort of thing that was appropriate only in very special circumstances, during a particular age range. Before, it is cruelty, and after it is demeaning... so IF it is used, it has to be very carefully thought about.  Unfortunately, L had different ideas and I allowed him to gradually influence me over the years until one day I realized that I was like a frog in a pan of water that was gradually getting hotter and hotter.

But, I am hoping for the best. But, not anticipating. In fact, if anything, I feel as if I have lost her, and it is almost like she has died, in a way. Just to realize that she despises me and thinks that I am weak because I do not have vengeful feelings and don't act hard and aggressive. Well, I can be as firm as I need to be, I have learned, but I don't LIKE to be hard. I like to be soft and I like to just give soft love and kisses and feed and nourish. But, like the crab, I will go backwards, and step sideways, and try to close up to avoid some things... but back me into a corner, and I DO have PINCERS! And once those pincers have grabbed onto something, they practically have to be torn off for me to let go!!!

Tell me how your night was... did you suffer much in the heat or from the mosquitos? I didn't know they had mosquitos in other parts of the world! I thought that this was a "Florida phenomenon!" But, we don't have many of them anymore because of the "mosquito control" people. Of course, in tropical and sub-tropical places, it can be a REAL problem because of malaria and dengue fever and a couple of other things that are NOT pleasant. I had dengue fever from a mosquito back in 1980, and I hope it confers immunity, because it was certainly one of the diseases from Hell!!!

But, I did not mean to wander off on that... see how I babble? I was thinking about the mosquitos biting you ... and that made me think of mosquitos in general... which, of course, makes me think about how BAD they were when I was a child! Even with screens on everything, they were a TORMENT! Especially if there was one in the room and you were trying to sleep! It was enough to drive a person stark raving mad!!!

My grandmother used to go around the house every night after everyone was in bed, we had to pull the sheets over our faces, and she had a spray gun with a little wooden handle attached to a long, thin pump rod, and she would spray up in the air all over. And, you could hear the mosquitos dying... they would buzz like an airplane engine that was running out of gas. After awhile, all would be quiet, and you could go to sleep - IF you could sleep in the heat!  We had palmetto fans hung on nails by all the beds, and you would fan yourself with this fan until you were cool enough to go to sleep.  And, it was a delicate balance to get the right rhythm so that you did not GET hot from fanning... and you had to get your arm set just right so that you could get the maximum air flow without the wrist collapsing!!! It was an ART!!!

But, anyway... if I was there, I would spray the mosquitos and fan you until you fell asleep...

I will do the count and see what I can do right now.

It will all come. Just it takes a little while. No free lunch. It is all a kind of test. Camels will not pass it ... Even virtual ones.

We do not know about tomorrow. Tomorrow can be yet harder, so perhaps today is not THAT hard.

 > > So, I am better. But, it was there.  >

Yes, Somehow we are connected and feed one another. I was not in a good shape yesterday - totally miserable physically, and today is all well. It will flow now to you and stop your worries. There is no need to worry. That is life. Our life. Our choice. The life we are working for. It IS difficult sometimes, but we knew it is gonna be difficult and we rejected "easy". And after a while these things will settle down and we will be together with "all channels open".

> So, I feel rather useless and worthless to you. A burden with no > value.

No, You are the only true value. You are my Companion and my Sunshine!

> Well, let me send this... and the session, and try to relax a little

And I will start work now that I feel okay, and will have seminar, will be telling funny things to Daniel and Marco (even if it is like official seminar, it is a very private one), and you will be with me. And will see how much I can send you and will see if I can ask Deutsche Bank to do the service again. If so, then in few days money will be in NPR. So, do not worry. And if you would tell me few days ago about the situation, it would have been already done.

> And, you will notice that we are past the middle of the month now!!! > So, in a couple of weeks.... it will be VERY close.

And I will REALLY REST!!!!!! Oh how much I need it. To REST, with you!!!

Only a few more days... and THEN you have to face the mess in Wroclaw!!! And it worries me that we will not have any connection for a while. Well, we have survived other things. We will survive that too, if it comes!

And then, soon the month will be over, and we will only have two months between us....

And I was trying so hard to balance there. But she was only hearing what she wanted to hear! And I know the signs of THAT quite well by now!

And that is where I blame myself. And I even told her this. That we KNOW that it could have all been different if I had been AWAKE... but that knowing this can give us power and that we don't use the past as an excuse and that she cannot use it either... and she twisted all of that. So, it rather ended as EVERY discussion I ever had with L - I said let's drop it and think about it. But, I gave it a limit. And there IS a limit. And she knows it. And she knows there is a problem. And she is frightened facing the world on her own, which is her only other option. And I see her fear, and I just want to take her in my arms and kiss all the hurt away. But, I cannot DO that NOW.

> i think there are two things > first, we have helpers. and if we keep doing our task > then these helpers will help

I agree.

> second, there are laws (of several levels). According > to these laws, as far as I can see, even Lizzies can't do > all they would like. There is something about free will.

Yes. I have often thought that it is something like our "law of gravity." That if you step off a cliff, you fall and get hurt.  There is something about free will that is like that for them. If they do something when, at a deep level, there is NO agreement, then it "hurts" them somehow. The problem with a lot of people is, at a deep, inner level, they do NOT exercise their free will. They do NOT choose between good and evil and make that choice clear. Not saying no is the same as saying yes. And, you cannot SAY no, if you are deceived by the surface appearance because of lack of knowledge.

I agree completely. And, I was even telling Mother about this today, that the Lizzies think that by constantly throwing things in our path, that we will stumble and fall or give up - and they do not realize that each hurdle we overcome only makes us stronger and better able to jump the next one... because we are not running on the finite energy of the flesh, but the infinite energy of the soul... I don't know if she really understood, but I hope so.[…]

Laura,

On one level, the key is etymology.

I know that you felt that the Little Keys of Solomon were a dead end but I think otherwise. Their order is as follows:

astronomy  dualism numerology androgeny etymology (the hidden 5th)

I think that when you receive my manuscript that this will become quite clear.

Think in terms of the knight in chess. He is able to jump over either his own player or his opponent, all the while "shifting" squares (gears).

In other words, if one knew the proper key or sequence, one could move Latin to Welsh to Irish, or Latin to Irish to Welsh. 3, 4, 5 or 3, 5, 4.

Let's apply this to a time sequence:  Neolithic  Bronze Age  Iron Age  Roman  Dark Ages

As above, so below?

Now let's add another level still: God Mary Magdalene Joseph of Arimathea Christ  Holy Family

and still: green  gold/blue   red  white  black

and still: spring  summer   fall   winter  Indian summer

Therefore, a new sequence could be: astronomy  Bronze Age Joseph of Arimathea white  Indian Summer.

A real enigma machine.

See if you can relate these elements to Poussin's Et En Arcadia Ego ...

There is one clue, the shepherdess is pregnant (the hidden fifth element!)

Remember, my Love, that there are FORCES around.

You are not gonna die. We have a lot of WORK that must be done. It MUST be done!!!!

My Ariadne!!!! You know what? Lawra is close to Polish "Lawirowac" which means "navigate between obstacles to find a way..." which cannot be done without Ariadne's web-string....

Honey! This came to me as I was somewhat sleeping...

ET IN ARCADIA EGO

ARAIGNEE AT ICOD

(Araignee = spider)

"The old Guanches themselves say that they have an immemorial tradition that sixty people came to this island, but they know not whence they came. They united and formed their settlement near ICOD, which is a place on this island, and they gave it the name, which is a word in their language. Alzanxiquian abcanabac xerax, which means 'The place of union of the son of the great one.'

"There is another special thing connected with the island. It is that no poisonous animal whatever is bred in it, such as snakes, lizards, scorpions, but only certain spiders which do harm when they bite.

"The form of the island is triangular, with 3 capes on points: Naga, Teno, and Roxa. (Snake, hand rose?)  It has a circumference of 31 leagues, and a width of 8 leagues at the narrowest part. It is at 28'30" latitude." (Friar Alonso de Espinosa of the Order of Preachers, Seville, 1594)

"The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces." (Proverbs 30:28, KJV)

The actual Hebrew text reads: The lizard you can seize with your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.

Then: "There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; a greyhound; an he-goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up." (Proverbs 30: 29-31)

But, in the original Hebrew text, it does NOT say greyhound. It says "The war horse - well knit in the loins."

Why was the sense and word changed in verse 28 from a lizard to a spider?  Why was the horse removed and replaced with a grayhound?

Greyhound -> Canis -> Canaris -> Canary Islands.

And more that I think is connected!!!!

"Jupiter was called Dodonean after the city of Dodona in Epirus.  Near this city was a hill thickly covered with oak trees which from the most ancient times had been sacred to Jupiter. The grove was further venerated because dryads, fauns, satyrs, and nymph were believed to dwell in its depths. From the ancient oaks and beeches were hung many chains of tiny bronze bells which tinkled day and night as the wind swayed the branches. Some assert that the celebrated talking dove of Dodona was in reality a woman, because in Thessaly both prophetesses and doves were called PELEIADAS. It is supposed that the first temple of Dodona was erected by Deucalion and those who survived the great flood with him. For this reason, the oracle at Dodona was considered the oldest in Greece.

"The oracle of Dodona was presided over by Jupiter, who uttered prophecies through oak trees, birds, and vases of brass. Many writers have noted the similarities between the rituals of Dodona and those of the Druid priests of Britain and Gaul. The famous oracular dove of Dodona, alighing upon the branches of the sacred oaks, not only discoursed at length in the Greek tongue upon philosophy and religion, but also answered the queries of those who came from distant places to consult it.

"Some assert that there was but one tree which spoke - an oak or a beech standing in the very heart of the ancient grove. Because Jupiter was believed to ihnabit this tree he was sometimes called PHEGONAEUS, or one who lives in a beech tree.

"Most curious of the oracles of Dodona were the 'talking vases,' or kettles. These were made of brass and so carefully fashioned that when struck they gave off sound for hours. Some writers have described a row of these vases and have declared that if one of them was struck its vibrations would be communicated to all the others and a terrifying din ensue. (three dominos?)

"When the original priests of Dodona - the SELLOI - mysteriously vanished, the oracle was served for many centuries by three priestesses who interpreted the vases and at midnight interrogated the sacred trees."

Selloi -> selas, light, gleam: from its phosphorescent appearance -> IE base, swel, to burn -> selene, the moon, -> selenium, a GRAY, nonmetallic chemical element of the sulfur group, existing in many allotropic forms; used in photoelectric devices because its electrical conductivity varies with the intensity of light. Symbol Se, wt. 78.96 At no 34; sp gr 4.81, melt 217 C; boil 684.8 C.

 Peleiadas - Selloi

A VERY ANCIENT and VERY SECRET and MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED group!!!  With jugs, oaks and beeches, doves, tinkling sounds, resonance, light and stars! And some Guanches have a story of appearing on an island, but they know not how nor from whence they came... but that it is a "place of union."

Going back to bed!!!

Honey, I have been thinking... Maybe you ought NOT to go back to Wroclaw just yet? Maybe you ought to go to Germany, to Bielefeld? Call Philippe and see if you can. Just until things settle down.  In fact, with conditions as they are, the authorities may not WANT anyone coming in...

It is simply too dangerous.  And there is NOTHING you can do! Please think about this for a while.  Remember what the C's said: if anything happens to you. And that is too uncertain and uncontrollable an environment. PLEASE.

Not originally! It is Old Norse! And anyway, there are other ways the A and T could be disposed.

And, there is a flood... and you had a spider... and Deucalion is related to the story of the survivors of the flood... and everything else fits.

 > It is extremely hot > and you hb has a headache and is sleepy

And I got almost no sleep either.... was up and down until daylight and have only slept fitfully since.

> it is next to impossible to do anything useful > but I believe it is not that bad because > in Wroclaw it will be worse as probably there > will be no water for quite a while > so we have a somewhat special period which > charts did not predict for one reason or other

Well, it did say some sort of upsetting news having to do with home... and I WAS very puzzled by it...

And, for the period that you will be going home... there is Uranus opposing Mercury... which Llewelyn says: "Unsettled, impulsive, radical, rebellious, chaotic states; difficulty with friends, kindred, civil service or municipal authorities. Trouble through the written word, either letters or documents. Great inclination to travel and sudden changes or upheaval in plans and affairs. Danger on journeys and through electrical contrivances, autos, engines, airplanes, etc."

And all last night I was dreaming about Frank trying to fly a plane. It was a jet, and he was going to take off on a road, in the dark, and he ran the plane off the road, and there was water everywhere, and you could see the jet shooting through the water, and it was like he could not control it or anything else and I just knew he was going to crash it and it was VERY scary and I didn't like it at all and I was watching helplessly...

And there IS an article in today's Times about the floods... Two columns on page two... BUT, the front page is about a rampaging serial killer that the National authorities have been hunting for months now, who has murdered another rich and prominent homosexual - this time the famous fashion designer Versace, who had a mansion in Miami...

Bill,

I have been thinking about the paintings and so forth. Last night I was going through an art textbook from my limited college career - just looking at pictures... and I found a large full color plate of the Shepherds of Arcadia... which I removed and now have before me. And, additionally, there was another St. Anthony there... Matthias Grunewald's. In the lower right corner of this painting, there are the words of St. Anthony inscribed on a scrap of paper which say "Where were You, good Jesus, where were You? Why did You not come to heal my wounds?"

And this is a TERRIBLE scene of the saint being chewed on (his hand) and pulled by the hair and all sorts of really repulsive creatures reaching for him. Meanwhile, there is something or someone in a bubble like place in the clouds... I cannot quite make out what it is, but it seems to be holding a staff...

Is this the painting given you by the "priory of sion" people that you mentioned?  lkj

Honey, Let me play Devil's Advocate for awhile so that we do NOT lose our perspective. I don't LIKE to burst bubbles, but you know how I am!!  Gotta have the TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth... and once you strip away all the lies, that is what you have. And, most of the lies consist of simply emotion based wishful thinking, as we well know.

So, let's try to get some balance on the Rennes-le-Chateau story.

What do we REALLY KNOW?

The story is: Francois-Berenger Sauniere, eldest son of Joseph Sauniere, mayor of the village of Montazels, born April 11, 1852; on June 1, 1885, was appointed priest at the church of Sainte-Madeleine in Rennes. He remained there for the rest of his life. This is FACT.

FACTS: Sauniere contrived to have the church repaired and decorated in a style that incorporates a number of puzzling elements. He had a house built for himself next to the church, the Villa Bethania, which is ostentatiously finer than any other in the village. He built a garden and conservatory and a two story tower, the Tour Magdala.

These are the facts. Of them there is no doubt because the buildings Sauniere raised are still there.

Now, as to HOW and WHY, it seems that the most of the information all leads back to Gerard de Sede. It is de Sede who tells us that Sauniere's buildings and lifestyle represented an expenditure of over a million francs d'or. But, modern estimates of the value of the construction put it at costing less than 1/50th that amount - and that is stretching it. (Brian Innes)

[What is the "proof" of the bank accounts Sauniere was reported to have opened all over Europe?  I have read this, but have never seen the proof.]

De Sede tells us about the extraordinary decorations, but this is chiefly made up of plaster statues and reliefs supplied by the firm of Ane of Letouzey which supplied the same to many other churches of the time.

It is de Sede who "discovers" the drawings of the two stones that Sauniere removed from the graveyard i.e. the gravestones of Marie d'Hautpoul de Blanchefort. The headstone is said to still exist according to a Philippe de Cherisey who says: "This slab was removed from the cemetery in the sight and knowledge of the inhabitants of Rennes, and is now at Carcassonne in the collection of an amateur antiquary, who is not very disposed to exhibit it."

The reputed "second slab" still covers a communal grave in Rennes, though it has been broken into pieces by treasure hunters.

What about the alleged inscription? The one supposed to have appeared in Eugene Stublein's "Pierres gravees du Languedoc?" It seems that this particular reproduction appears ONLY in the 1962 REPRINT of what is said to be the 1884 edition.  It was obviously "manufactured."

A book by Eugene Stublein certainly existed. In 1877 he published "Description d'un voyage aux establissements thermaux de l'arrondissement de Limoux," but there is no known copy of the book "Pierres des gravees etc."

In the Bibliotheque Nationale des Paris, the name of the depositor of this latter work is given as "Antoine l'Ermite," his address a travelers' hotel in the 17th arondissement of Paris.

Just one month prior to the "filing" of this book as "officially published," there was another document "filed" in the Bibliotheque: "Un tresor Merovingien a Rennes-le-Chateau" Its author ALSO is our VERY busy "Antoine l'Ermite."

Okay, let's go back a little further! Nine months prior to this, a document entitled: "Les descendants Merovingiens ou l'enigme du Razes Wisigoth" by a "Madeleine Blancasall, translated from the German by Vincent Celse-Nazaire, and published in Geneva under the imprint of the "Grand Loge Alpina." This text is the "original document" tracing the lineage of the Merovingians from their alleged Biblical origins to the 20th century right down to Pierre Plantard. This genealogy is signed by Henri Lobineau.

What about this?

Well, the church of Rennes is dedicated to the Magdalene, or Madeleine; the spring at Rennes-les-Bains known as the Madeleine is close to the confluence of the two rivers Blanque and Sals; and the church of Rennes-les-Bains is dedicated to Saints Celse and Nazaire. Most CURIOUS that these are ALL incorporated into the names of the author and translator of said "authoritative documents!"

But, most significant: The Grande Loge Alpina, the main lodge of Swiss Freemasonry, denies all knowledge of this work. (Brian Innes)

Therefore, the "authority" of this suddenly appearing work, which, by the way is nothing but a duplicated typescript, is SERIOUSLY suspect!!

Well, in the spring of 1967, a further publication was deposited with the Bibliotheque (which acts as a copyright via its Depot Legal system which establishes a date of publication, though there is no necessity to show that any other than the deposited copy exists), entitled "Le Serpent Rouge." This time three authors are named: Koker, Saint- Maxent and Feugere.

Here we run into a funny situation. Saint Maxent and de Koker were found hanged on March 6, 1967, and Feugere was found hanged the following day.

The date on the "publication" slip is January 17 or February 15, depending on your source, but it was "officially" declared published on March 20 by the Depot Legal which says it is not very likely to be a delay between deposit and "declaration" via an official date stamp!  So somebody was doing some prestidigitation with the dates to make it appear that the dead guys published it BEFORE they killed themselves.

Well, were these three guys subjected to a ghastly revenge, or did they have a suicide pact? Or, does it even matter since their names were apparently used AFTER their deaths!

One thing is certain: their respective families declare unambiguously that the three were NOT acquainted with each other and certainly had no interest in the subject!!!

Well, after all of this depositing of "documents" that underpin an idea... a REAL book gets published by the name of "L'or de Rennes." And WHO is the author? Gerard de Sede!

It is to Gerard de Sede that we owe most of the information about Berenger Sauniere and the "mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau that has been made public. It is to Gerard de Sede that we owe the allegation that it is dangerous to enquire too closely into matters connected with Rennes. He cites a Citroen "riddled with machine gun bullet holes" but this is discovered to be an old wreck that had been used by a farmer's son for target practice. (Brian Innes)

At the same time that the "L'or de Rennes" is published, ANOTHER document gets deposited at the Bibliotheque! This is called "Dossiers secrets."  The principle content of this is a series of genealogical trees, attributed to Henri Lobineau, which establishes Pierre Plantard de St-Clair as a direct lineal descendant of Dagobert II, who was assassinated in 679 and was not known to have any legitimate issue. Lobineau was obviously a pseudonym derived from the Rue Lobineau near Saint Sulpice in Paris, a church that also plays a significant part in the Rennes story. The "Dossiers" suggest that Lobineau is really an Austrian historian named Leo Schidlof, who had died in SWitzerland the previous year; but Schidlof's daughter insists, categorically, that he had neither knowledge of nor interest in, genealogy.

So, again, dead men are being used to lend "authority" to rather spurious works.

What about this Pierre Plantard de St.Clare? (Who seems to have ADDED the St. Clare to his name rather arbitrarily.) Well, we only know that he was in the "resistance." He is SAID to have been imprisoned by the Nazis... any proof? He was involved with De Gaulle, he edited a journal during the war, a magazine in the 50's and some rather "militia type" duplicated "newsletters."

Any ingenious person who set out to forge or fabricate this whole story would find the task a simple one!

So, essentially we have NOTHING!

Except for the REAL things we have found in other areas as a result of the thinking inspired by this story or idea. So, it seems that this whole story is all made up to cover up something else.  And the result is that the "agents of darkness" who attempt to lead astray or obfuscate or throw obstacles in the path, generally only create the result that the TRUE SEEKER uses them as stepping stones! And, through what we know about the "mind control" techniques, and Thor's Pantheon of psychic projectors, it is rather easy to see that all involved in this farcical and transparent drama DID have a part to play in a living allegory for those who can see.

And, the funny thing is: some of them may have actually come to believe in the reality of this "dramatic creation" in the sense that they have helped create it!!!

But, let's cover a couple of other things first.

Philippe de Cherisey, who is reported to be a good friend of Plantard says that there were only 3 parchments and not 4. That these parchments were genealogies and not faked gospels. He says that the faked gospels were of recent manufacture and were designed to "influence" de Sede! And that the text of Jesu medela vulnerum inscribed by Sauniere on the plaque at the foot of the altar was "put to good use" by the author of the fake documents!!!

So, do we have some REAL documents, or fake ones? Is the Sauniere story the ONLY thing that is valid here, and all the "dressing" of the Priory of Sion with their faked genealogies and "dossiers" and so forth... just an attempt to either capitalize on an event, or to HIDE something???

Well, there is ONE fact in the middle of all of this: On May 23, 1910, Sauniere was found guilty by his bishop of trafficking in masses and was banned from his duties until 1915! Doesn't sound like something a person would do if he had 1)found treasure 2)learned the "secrets" of alchemy; 3)blackmailed the church.

What about the tomb in the Poussin painting?

A certain Louis Galibert built a factory to make braids and army boots at Les Pontils in 1880. His grandson erected the tomb in 1903 - LONG after Poussin was dead!!! The property was bought by an American, a Mrs. Rivera. Her son, LAWRENCE covered the tomb deliberately to make it resemble Poussin's painting as an eccentric fancy!

Almost nothing of this story can be traced any further back than Gerard de Sede; and much of that is attributable to the "Prieure" documents that have only appeared a little before de Sede's book, and in ALL of it, the hand of Pierre Plantard can be seen.

But, there WERE local rumors - which probably inspired Plantard, de Cherisey and de Sede. And there IS an old story of a "Jewish King," of the area who was Theodoric. His son was St. William, Marquess of Septimania, Count of Razes, who became a Benedictine monk and founded the monastery of Gellone.

This Theodoric claimed direct descent from the House of David, and from him, Isabel of Angouleme, wife of King John of England, was 11th in descent. So, this is the only REAL and FACTUAL item that is probably the basis of the rumors that fueled this crazy masquerade of the "Prieure de Sion."

And, there is another strange hint: more than one of the Grail stories, which we suspect to have had their origin in the Cathars and Templars (the REAL ones), tell that Sir Gawain was overtaken in a terrible storm and took refuge in the Atre Perileus, or Chapel Perilous. Some 30 miles from Rennes is the village of Opoul, probably the lands from which the family d'Hautpoul got its name. There is an ancient, ruined chapel there beneath a ruined fortress that was called "Chateau Perilos," very likely a refuge of Cathars or Templars, or a way station in their escape.

So, we can almost assuredly dismiss the main story of Rennes, the significance of any descendants of the Merovingians, and the Prieure de Sion as an elaborate hoax.

Yet, there are the stories, the ancient ideas, and SOME small facts of something...

And we have found DEFINITE clues of a REAL sort in the Bible, in certain numbers and names that recur with surprising frequency, and in the myths and stories of the ancients as well as tracking word roots etc. And, of course, NOTHING could be more amazing than the events and PROOFS in our own lives, including LONG published, out in the open genealogies!

So, just a little balance here!!!

[…] Your HB had rest and bath and washed clothes and ate and slept and headache is almost gone. And today will be better because yesterday was out of proportion. And we paid the apartment but did not buy the train ticket yet .... to see what goes on. So here we are and now we have to have yogurt and coffee and will read the true story of Rennes.

I finished the 7-23 session from 2 years ago... and it was interesting, so will send it as soon as I send this.

I would not spend too much time trying to understand Bill's e-mails. They are all completely incomprehensible to me. As I understand it, a lot of it comes from some guy in Scotland who fancies himself a great MAGE, and likes to hear himself think and talk in circles.

I sent my "devil's advocate" thinkint to him as well. There IS some strange mystery about Poussin, and I think I have found the REAL clue... but it is certainly not based on some "planted" documents, but rather on WELL known and long published information, which is as it should be - even if it has not been related or assembled. And, I think there is something important about the D'Hautpoul family or lands, and the "Et in Arcadia Ego," thing. But, because of the D'Hautpoul's and Poussin, and NOT because of Berenger Sauniere or Dagobert, or this ridiculously transparent Pierre Plantard and Prieure de Sion that he has created to make himself important!!!!

I hope it cools off there a little! It was over 90 here today. I tried to read on the porch, but it finally got so hot I had to come inside.

I did some laundry, monitored the cleaning of the bedrooms, made tea for Anna, who is sick with a head cold, and worried about Ali... who is not home, but DID call saying she was at Jeff's and would be home soon. So, I am sure that she is discussing all with him. And, he seems to have a level head, of all her friends, the most level...

But, I am not going to cave in, that's for sure!!!

So, that was why I decided to clean and do laundry. It always helps me to do some sort of physical work when I am in that hopeless feeling. It gives me the illusion of some measure of control over SOMETHING, even if it is only folding a towel. Then I get my equilibrium back.

So, I am better. But, it was there.

Well, wait another day if you can.  I just have the feeling that a constant monitoring and checking will be in order from here on out... until you are safely HOME!

Poor William Mann has experienced the "Laura Effect." He has sent me TONS of garbage that is almost not worth my time to read... and then says that he cannot keep up with what little I have sent him most of which consists of questions directed at getting hard facts! It is funny. He did not even know the term "Devil's Advocate," I am sure. And, I think he was unhappy because he had intimated that he had "inside contact" with the Priory of Sion, and that I was off base because what I was doing had nothing to do with Old DeadEye Dagobert. And I don't even think he investigated the claims of this group at all! Good grief! You can't just believe something because you LIKE it!!! If I did that, I'd be sunk deep in the mire by now. I didn't LIKE what Gurdjieff said. I detested it! But, I knew that there was a LOT of truth there. More truth than just about anything else I have ever come across all gathered in one place. But, that does NOT mean that I liked it!!!!

Why, when you ask direct questions, the answers to which might challenge a person's assumptions and wishful thinking, do they go nuts and blame it on YOU???  They never deal with the questions… they always start some sort of distracting "blame game."

Have sent fax to the bank in Bielefeld.  Money is on the way....

Adding to the arguments:

as indicated by Ted Cranshaw (where did you get this paper from) the "decryption" of the parchment is a part of the plot too. Means Baigent and Lincoln perhaps are part of the team.

However the plot is really Devil's plot. Because our Mann pointed to Winter and C's confirmed that it IS related to Denver airport.... somehow. So it means our Bill is an innocent part of the plot. As there have been no reason he volunteered this piece.... It means some people know something and the plot is construed in order to render all this fragmentary knowledge useless UNLESS ARIADNE CAN SEE THROUGH THE PLOTS....

Let's see if we can find him at the Uni when you get home?!

> the "decryption" of the parchment is a part of the plot too. > Means Baigent and Lincoln perhaps are part of the team. >

Well, that would fit altogether, because of what the C's said about the "Thor's Pantheon." It is similar to that excerpt you found, about "psychic projectors" with the "key" of Alton Towers. Apparently there is this "army" of psychic projectors who sort of "beam" things out there... and, depending on the configuration of the receptor, it can be more or less "corrupted." Those who are subject to being "deceived and obfuscated" ARE, and those who are not, are enabled to pick through the weeds and find the true herb.

> However the plot is really Devil's plot. Because our Mann pointed > to Winter and C's confirmed that it IS related to Denver airport....

Yes. And if there is the constant looking for the "power" outside, as they seem to be, then this means it has been given away to someone or some "thing."

> somehow. So it means our Bill is an innocent part of the plot. > As there have been no reason he volunteered this piece....

Yes. But innocent can be no less dangerous though!

> It means some people know something and the plot is > construed in order to render all this fragmentary knowledge > useless UNLESS ARIADNE CAN SEE THROUGH THE > PLOTS....

Well, that is hopefully what we are doing... but it requires a love of truth that goes beyond personal comfort as we both WELL know!
