CN # 15: Review and Preview of GNE

January 21, 2012

Andalucia

Greetings Crew!

In my previous notes -- designated 14 ½  by allusion to Fellini's magnificent film about finding the inner child, 8 ½ -- I noted the two challenges I initially proposed, to be undertaken in our group experiment of shared imagination: namely, to discover the initial conditions of the divine experiment underway on this planet, and to realize the pact Sophia made with the Anthropos when she dreamed this experiment -- "preemptively," as it were -- in the Pleroma, before her plunge. I indicated that the pattern of apogee surges in the FISHES, with  M 31 (the ANDROMEDA galaxy) above and CETUS below, present a timeframe for tracking the recapitulation of the Wisdom Goddess.  As she recalls those two factors, we can also realize what they are by tracking her recapitulation in real time, using the faculty of the second attention,  true imagination.

You may recall that I anticipated the moment of recall to culminate from December 15, coming out of the apogee stall in the belly of CETUS, into mid-January. So what's up? Has what I proposed come to pass? It's going now on a week since January 15.  What can the nav, speaking in his role as terton, report on his own experience of tracking divine memory? After all, it was I who set up the expectation that by this time in correction those two momentous factors would fall into place. And I did so with the implication that I principally would accomplish the act of retrieval. So how does it turn out now? Can the terton deliver on this promise?

As I have said all along, this is a collaborative venture. I count on your comments, intuitions, dreams, and insights.  If you stay within the framework of the Sophianic vision story, choosing the true imagination to guide you, any one of you can pick up significant details of Sophia's recall process. But to see the entire recapitulation in a coherent way requires telestic practice, of course.  You can't do it in an ordinary state. It has to be realized and learned in trance.

I need to say more about trance and how to attain it... Thomas recently nudged me on that point. Will do in upcoming notes and talks. For right now with these notes I am offering a review and preview of the Gaian Navigation Experiment, including a spoken commentary that will be accessible on telestai.org. As for what comes next, well...

First Telestic Session 2012

CN #16 (now in the works) has the title "Initial Conditions of This Divine Experiment." It also comes with a verbal commentary. It is easier to describe the initial conditions, recalled by Gaia-Sophia and captured by the terton in telestic trance,  in verbal form, as writing it all down would be quite tedious. Eventually it has to be written down, of course... But at this crucial point in correction, the practice allows for restoration of missing parts of the nine-episode vision story. Specifically, that part between episodes three and four when the Aeon Sophia, dreaming in the Pleroma, set the initial conditions for an experiment which she uniquely and unilaterally  previsioned. I can tell you right now that the missing parts of the narrative are massive and immensely rich in detail, nuance, and cosmic perspective. This is a huge part of the sacred narrative and it carries the vivid disclosure of cosmic activities among the Aeons. You can see how true it is when you realize what it enables you to understand about the world today, even about the situation of planet earth viewed in a larger galactic perspective.

I am thrilled to have recovered this material during a telestic session that doubled as a divinatory rite. Such rites are usually undertaken in the 5 days of the waning phase of the moon, the completion of a dakini shift. The practice involves close observation of the lunar crescent before sunrise, the lefthanded crescent. I undertook this practice just after the hinge of Mahakali, thursday - friday, January 19-20, when the moon rose before dawn in the body of the SCORPION. Not at the stinger but in the lower torso, around 20 Sagittarius or 260 ecliptic longitude. High over head was the LION with the red planet mars clearly visible in the loins. And to the east, saturn neck in neck with Spica in the VIRGIN. Orion was setting toward the West. Such was the setting of the divinatory ritual.

This setting recalls a moment pictured in Greek myth: when Artemis, the earth goddess who protected the animals of the Gaian habitat, sent the scorpion to kill the hunter Orion because he had exceeded his quota of prey. Reflect on that image.

The telestic practice of that moment fell three days after the limit date of January 15, the date that I had set for Sophia's recall in real time of her pact, signified by the alignment of the lunar apogee to M 31. Remember! I set up the expectation that by January 15 those two mission components would be revealed. And three days later, it came true. In a most deliciously lavish manner, if I may say so. Additional to capturing the initial conditions of the divine experiment she dreamed for us, came almost total and lucid recall of the conditions of the pact. Both components came in one download, one session of divine mathesis or telestic instruction.

For the Maine terton this was rather a new experience. I was not taking instruction directly from the Organic Light, as usually happens in telestic trance. Rather, I was tracking her memory process in real time, a different sort of operation, shamanically speaking. What I found was that to do so involved a different kind of trance attention, a lighter trance. No the deep trance I have described in certain passages of Severed Rose, but a kind of skimming trance with emphasis on auditory and tonal signals, rather than on intense visual immersion in the Organic Light.

To my delight I found that the light trance, of what I might call borderline trance, allowed me elicit material and retain it exceptionally well, by contrast to the deep trance in which the shaman always has to accept the loss of content drawn from the Nagual which cannot be retained in an ordinary state.

"Wisdom has no memory." This is a gnostic saying that refers to telestic illumination gained from the wellspring of the Organic Light, the primary substance body of Sophia. The wisdom so gained has no memory. It cannot be retained in the manner of ordinary memory contents.

You can see how you would not understand the saying, and would read it wrongly, without direct access to the experience.

My report on the results of the January 19-20 session comes in two parts, first, the initial conditions of the current experiment (CN #16) and then the specific terms of the pact she made, for she did indeed conceive our current experiment as an intervention scenario, or "avataric descent" (CN#17). When you know the initial conditions you also realize why, obviously, the experiment had to require an intervention scenario. Standard procedure for an Aeon, as it were.

Or, as Jan Kerouac would say with the mischievous glint of a mad scientist in her eye, "standard proceedcake."

Planetary Setup

We enter now into a phase of intense activity in this experiment, if you are willing, and it if is your pleasure. The nav will be presenting some new navigational parameters, including  specific graphics on the interaction of jupiter and the lunar apogee, the role of saturn as the lightship, and the role of mars which would now appear to come into play as mars commences a long retrograde loop in the LION: January 25, under the Matangi shift. So, it would appear that all three planets beyond the earth, out to the proper limits of the archontic celestial mechanism, are involved in correction and used for Gaia's purposes. Until now, she has not used or involved mars. The fact that she can now do so signifies a remarkable advance in her process of sovereign activity, self-propulsion and self-navigation.

The planets beyond saturn do not belong to the solar system proper, as it was initially formed by archontic powers and the Demiurge. The three trans-saturnian planets, uranus, neptune, and pluto, are not proper members of the archontic stereoma; rather they are something like probes sent into the system for monitoring purposes.

As for the intra-terrestrials, mercury and venus, they have no significant role in how Sophia sets the initial conditions of correction but may become significant  for close scrutiny of her self-navigation activities in post-correction.

You may well wonder how these archontic planets that capture the earth in an alien frame of celestial mechanics may serve Sophia in correction. Well, correction does not merely require her breaking free of capture but also of using the systemic components of celestial mechanics for her own purposes. Like a tantrika, she "turns" the negative or compelling or enslaving conditions to her intention.

Sound Effects

Finally, before referring you to the accompanying audio commentary, a review and preview of the GNE, I want to mention the dramatic occurrence of strange sounds across the planet that has been noted in this crucial moment, mid-January. Not timed to an apogee or perigee surge, but interestingly perhaps, right between the two:

Apogee surge 28 Aries (M31 alignment) January 3 -- perigee surge16 Scorpio January 17, right pan of SCALES (2nd or 4 hits in the right pan). Halfway between these moments is January 12 when the crescendo of these sounds appears to have been noted in several places around the world.

First of all, I have to say that not all these recordings are trustworthy, and some may be faked. The internet is the Disneyland of hoaxers. However, I am convinced that most of the recorded effects are real and come from the interaction of the living planet with currents in the galactic arm, as well as eruptions from the solid core of the earth itself /The latter are not merely seismic -- though we have plenty of those lately --  but involve another type of energy,  call it "Shiva force." This is a kind of an ELF-type wave emanating from the core of the earth, which warps and stresses the BEMA, the bio-electric-magnetic aura of the planet. It resembles the Chladni effects,  geometric patterns taking form in sand pread on a plate that vibrates to a musical note or tone. It can occur as a uniform hum -- which has been reported for over two decades now, in Taos New Mexico, for instance. Of course, ELF waves produced by human-made devices can also mimic this effect; but it would be erroneous, I belive, to attribute the "Taos hum" and other similar effects to military operations.

So, these sounds thaty broke out dramantically in January are a combination of external stress on the mother ship as she undertakes her own navigation, and internal stress on the hulk of the planetary vessel, erupting from within the core.

The fact that such stresses now become audible is reasonable and expectable. This would be a phenomenon that happens normally on a planet in self-propulsion and would be detected by sentient life forms on board. These auditory phenomena characterize the first stage of correction. I would venture to say that the final stage or correction, sailing into spring 2014, would demonstrate a corresponding set of phenomena of a visual type, rippling banded lights in the sky: Saint Elmo's fire flashing in the rigging of the mother ship.

You can read a vivid description of Saint Elmo's fire (long associated by sailors with the head stars of the TWINS, Castor and Pollux) in Melville's Moby Dick. As I have noted before, Melville's literary mythmaking is a precursor of the coming oceanic myth, the future vision of the earth in correction. This navigation experiment belongs to the genre of oceanic mythology.

Berkeland currents, as they are called, also cause the Aurora Borealis. Their discovery is a terrific story that might engage you. I have not been able to read a book or hardly anything else for almost a year now. Just can't concentrate for more than a paragraph or two before my attention strays -- one reason why I don't read the forum. I can't hold my mind on the material long enough, and the linear layout of the medium itself tries my patience (of which I have precious little) ... sorry, folks. But I did just barely manage to get halfway through a book recently: The Northern Lights by Lucy Jago, an account of the life and work of Norwegian scientist Christian Berkeland. A fantastic adventure story and beautifully written. Jago explains how Berkeland ascertained that the Northern Lights are due to disturbances in the electromagnetic field of the earth caused or incited by the sun, specifically the instreaming of electrically charged cathode rays.

Note that the auroral lights are a property of the earth's atmosphere that manifests when it becomes excited by solar emissions. Which does not preclude the possibility that the planet itself could generate the same effects --  say, by a process of self-excitation. By an auto-erotic action? Which indeed is what I expect to manifest at the completion of the initial conditions of correction in spring 2014.

Erotic Shock

But what actually happens to sentint life on the earth if Gaia the planetary mother animal goes into throes of auto-erotic excitation? In 2012, humanity as a whole is due to undergo a near-death experience from which some of the species will be reanimated by the force of Eros. You can quote me on that.

"In order to investigate nature, we must literally love the object of our investigation. In the language of orgone biophysics, we must have direct and undisturbed orgonotic contact with the object of our investigation.... Sensation is the greatest mystery of natural science." Wilhelm Reich, Ether, God, and Devil

In preparation for what's to come, I suggest as homework re-reading Coco de Mer 2: The Shock of the Beautiful. Or just the following excerpt:

To humanity Sophia imparts the germ of nous, spiritual mind. This is our wisdom endowment, the intuitive intelligence of the heart that enables us to know what it means to be human. Sophia imparts a special power to the earth, as well as to humanity (Anthropos in Gnostic terminology). The fact that She becomes embodied in the earth does not mean that all Her force is exhausted in telluric physics. As an Aeon, She is greater than any planet. Her deific power remains in excess of its physical manifestation. In short, Sophia is able to imbue the physical Earth with supernatural properties. The most potent and pervasive of these properties is Eros as described in codices II, 5 and XIII, 2 (On the Origin of the World, found in two versions in the Nag Hammadi cache):

"The earth was purified on account of the blood of the virgin (parthenos). But most of all, the water was purified through the likeness of the Pistis Sophia, who had appeared to the prime parent in the waters... Out of that first blood, Eros appeared, being androgynous. His masculinity is Himeros, being fire from light. His femininity, innate to him as well, is the soul of blood, the solution of the Pronoia... He is very lovely in his beauty, having charm beyond all the creatures of chaos. Then all the gods and their angels, when they beheld Eros, became enamored. And appearing in all of them Eros set them ablaze..." (NHL II, 5, 108.25 - 109.25)

Here again is a fragment of Gaian creation myth, an account of formative events framed in mystical and symbolic language. It would take too long to translate the passage line for line, but let's note that "the blood of the virgin" readily suggests volcanic magma, present from the earliest formation of the terrestrial globe. "The water purified through the likeness of the Pistis Sophia" may be mythic shorthand for the purge of oxygen from the primordial seas. This momentous event occurred over a 400-million-year stretch of time from 2.2 billion to 1.8 billion years ago. In the Archean period preceding this event, the oxygen associated with the forming earth was locked deep in the oceans. There was hardly any oxygen in the open atmosphere at all. Due to the action of a microscopic entity, the cynobacterium known as blue-green algae, oxygen was massively purged from the ocean and shifted into the atmosphere. The algae catalyst "swarmed in the photic zone, the region illuminated and irradiated by the sun and extending to no more than 100 hundred meters below the ocean surface." (Lynn Margulis, What is Life?, p. 105)

As a result of this massive shift, photosynthesis was possible, and life on earth entered its most lavishly productive phase, which persists to this day.

How does this activity indicate an effect of "the likeness of the Sophia?" Well, the action occurring in the photic zone of the ocean was bacterial, and confined to an ultra-thin layer of the primordial seas, but the effect of the sun interacting with the algae in this layer was similar to the growth of a culture in a petri dish. Let's recall that Aeons are hyper-porous, mass-free currents with autopoetic powers, and as such the mere presence of an Aeon in a field of atomic matter confers order upon chaos. The "likeness of the Sophia" was her autopoetic effect, a mirroring of Her form, for cynobacteria were the first life-forms to emerge as a direct reflection of Sophia's own life-force.

Flame to Flame

To enter imaginally into the Gnostic vision of the Fallen Sophia, we must conceive that the Aeon is forming into the earth, and forming the earth, at the same time. She is the dancer and the dance. The part of Sophia that remains an Aeon, mass-free and non-devolved, impresses its life-force into the materializing earth. One could say that with Sophia Her soul defines Her body. The Coptic texts and polemics make this distinction by using "Achamoth" for the part of the Aeon that materializes. (In some versions of the myth, Sophia does not entirely depart from the Pleroma, but a part of Her "substance" extrudes and materializes. I have chosen to follow the versions in which Sophia is entirely externalized.)

The bisexuality of Eros recalls the Tibetan yab-yum and mythic intuitions of the sexes associated with the Coco de Mer. Both genders of Eros are described in vivid ways: the masculine (electrical) aspect is "fire from light," and feminine (magnetic) aspect is "the soul of blood." Here the Gnostic cosmology refers to human biological features which are coeval with terrestrial events. "Fire from light" is the electrochemical component in the human organism, the hidden fire compressed in the lightning-like spinal current of Kundalini. The "soul of blood" is plasma, the watery component of our blood, yet because the blood carries iron, this watery component is charged with magnetism (desire).

The interplay of the two genders of Eros ("fire from light," the male, and "the soul of blood," the female) generates the soul-life of humanity: "And the first soul (psyche) loved Eros, who was merged with her, and she poured her blood upon him and the earth." (111.5-15) As the Gnostics saw it, human blood was formed coevally with complimentary elements in the planetary body. Earth and psyche, body and soul, co-evolve together from the earliest stages of life on earth.

Orig. World describes how Eros pervades the physical world: "Just as from a single lamp many lamps are lit, and one and the same light is there, but the lamp is not diminished. And in this way Eros came to permeate all the beings created from chaos, and was not diminished." (109: 10 - 15) Here Gnostic emanationism makes a perfect match with Tantric cosmology. Woodruffe explains that at "every stage of the emanation-process prior to real evolution (sensuous and physical processes)," Shakti, the supreme mothering power, "remains what it is," whilst ever producing new features of evolution. He specifies:

"In Parinama or Evolution as it is known to us on this plane, when one thing is evolved into another, it ceases to be what it is. Thus when milk is changed into curd, it ceases to be milk. The evolution from Shiva-Shakti of the pure Tattvas is not of this kind... It is a process in which one flame springs from another flame. Hence it is called "Flame to Flame." There is a second flame but the first from which it comes is unexhausted and still there (Shakti and Shakta, p. 180.)"

Shiva-Shakti" is the Divine Parent, paired Aeons. Tattvas are emanational stages in Hundu Tantric cosmology. The gnostikoi called them hypostases, down-scalings. Parinama is the equivalent of dreaming, rather than the presumed linear Darwinian-style evolution.

Now imagine that we have a force in us, a kind of alternating current that plays between the blood and the nervous system; hence it carries a rhythm, directly sensed in the pulsing of the blood, and an electrical charge, an internal buzz of excitement. These are, physiologically speaking, the gender functions (masculine and feminine energies) of Eros incorporated into our bodies. Yet imagine as well that the Erotic components installed in our organism do not operate self-referentially, as if in an empty field. On Earth, we are immersed in an immense sea of electromagnetism, the macrocosmic counterpart to the bipolar Erotic forces locked into our body structure. Tantrics teach that Kundalini exists in two forms: it assumes a compressed form in the human body, and a telluric form, Maha-Kundala, the massive "serpent power" of the earth. (The suffix -ini, like "eeny-weeny," means"small, miniscule.")

The Erotic charge in our bodies is imparted by the electro-magnetic field of the earth and responds to it, constantly. We are not given a limited dose of Eros and then left to our own devices, helpless to do anything as it gets used up and finally runs out. We are continually resupplied. Eros never runs out because the flame-to-flame dynamic permits constant renewal, orrecharge. It does run down, however, if we are not consciously receptive to the process. Just think of a certain kind of excitement you can feel that becomes more charged the more you express it. This is the euphoric hit of Eros. It operates flame-by-flame. Erotic euphoria is not diminished by imparting or sharing it, but by our closing ourselves off to receive it in the first place.

In other words, by shutting down the sweet blaze of the Erotic.

Audio File

This evening,  I sending out these notes and by the new moon on monday January 23, marking completion of the MahaKail shift, the mp3 file that goes with them will go to Stan to be posted on telestai.org. When he tells me it's up I'll pass the word on to you. This allows some time for you to read and reflect on these notes before listening to the audio commentary that accompanies them.

Clear sailing and safe passage to all,

your nav

PS SOS for assistance: I need a Word format document listing the titles and dates of the 15 sets of crew notes sent out so far. I can keep track of correction. Just barely, mamacita. What is more difficult at moments is keeping track of myself keeping track of correction! Any volunteers? J.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, Entheogens & Pharmacratic Sorcery (Parts 1 & 2)

Around the time I was learning of the sacred mushroom metaphor in John Allegro's harshly attacked Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls by the Vatican I made the leap in the book of Genesis as an allegory for prevention of humanity having entheogenic experiences. John Lash takes it one step further and points out the logic flow of the priesthood not only creating an intermediary position for themselves between man and source but also that they are terrified of the experience themselves.

In addition John explains in the first part the lifeless logic behind the pursuit of the transhumanistic path which is if we consider it properly must be a neurotic fear of death concrete evidence of not actually living in the first place.


There's lots more but I like to tap a few words out to give a feel for the content.

Chris Knowles & Erik Davis On The Mystery Schools, Dionysus, Ecstatic Experience & Henotheism

Podcast Powered By Podbean

Erik Davies interviews Christopher Knowles in a splendid game of cerebral tag on ecstatic transformation in popular culture, mystery cults, Oracles, the dangers of Dionysus, entheogens, Apollo, Serapis, Mithra and tracking the holistic mind online.

Well that and more but you get the picture (Henotheism is the pick 'n mix of ancient Greek deity worship, much more sensible than all that Zadokite bollocks if you must have a God).

#OWS & Archontic Influences In Brooklyn

"He points out that that the word “archive” derives from the Greek arkheion, which refers to the home or dwelling of the Archon, or ruler. The first archives were filed at the Archon’s home, and he would decide what documents would enter the historical record."

Via The Brooklyn Ink

N.B. Some of the most accurate and faithful descriptions of Archons comes from video gaming community. They get the names, hierarchy and descriptions accurate to a level where faithful representation of mind viruses and mind parasites is so accurate and detailed, I think they could converse comfortably with Gnostic scholars. None of it is on the radar unless one sets up a Google Alert. It's all bulletin board comments on how and who to kill. I hope these people aren't being prepped.

Jungian Analysis Of The E.T Question - Professor Emeritus Of Religious Studies David J. Halperin

I took a quick look at this yesterday and decided Professor J. Halperin was a bit stuffy and  traditional for me, but today before closing the tab down I noticed he asked who gave the first telling of the mythical Greek Gods and then specifically he mentions Perseus against Medusa which was just enough to for me to give him a whirl. 

I haven't yet discovered if he's familiar with Douglas Dietrich's explosive revelations on the Roswell incident but he's a good introduction to the archetypal and transdimensional nature of the topic. Give him a whirl if you like it erudite and professorial. 

He's an Ezekial specialist for you spinning wheel obsessives and he picks up on Sagan's ambiguity of position which we now know was because he was holding back on us.

The Professors Betty & Barney Hill deconstruction is novel but doesn't really factor in the Gnostic account of the neonate entities known as the Archons and thus well before Striebers book cover illustration of Communion, or is he ticking off that subject with his mention of the Jewish mystics account in Hekhalot Rabbhati in which I'm not sure I understand his psychological point with respect to trauma and recalled memories drawn from the visual Zeitgeist. 

The Apocalypse & Revelations Are Awesome

An Apocalypse (Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. 

Both The Apocalypse and Revelation have been cynically reframed by the Vatican (and the other Abrahamic faiths) to relate to catastrophe and disaster. It is part of their vast arsenal and track record of historical revisionism to deceive us to be fearful and seek salvation through their services.

Through a readers encouragement I revisited Neil Kramer's work last night and I enjoyed it very much. Like Neil I also believe we're living in the Apocalypse, as the self evident daily revelations of inarguable global elite hypocrisy dissolves in full view of those who are both awake and aware. It's a one of the best things of living in these times and the show has already started as far as I'm concerned. 

There's some very nice lines in this interview including the obsession of our age to own 'nice things' as a poor reflection of our species given half the planet gets by on two bucks a day - it's unconscionable. 

I returned to Neil's work thinking I'd find him humourless and a little too worthy for my taste but I was wrong. He's got some very useful paradigms for separating what is and isn't important.

Anatole Fomenko - History: Fiction or Science Chronology 2

This is the second book (in a series of seven) by Anatole T. Fomenko. Listening to the Clif High interview yesterday that alerted me to his books it seems there's a lot of controversy over this author but very briefly his work came about from the former Soviet Union when teachers realised they'd been teaching a sanitised and meaningless education to Russian students and so in order to prevent this happening again they turned to their scientists and asked 'What is true and factual'.

This snowballed into a Russian education movement which involved science as the arbiter of curriculum and so everything was challenged including it seems the Vatican's chronology of events. I believe it's called critical thinking or analysis (I need to check again) education and he makes incredible claims based on cosmology as the final word in chronology such that eclipses and comets in history prove unequivocally that the character known as Jesus (but also possibly named as Yeshuah or Emmanuel) likely lived around 1000 AD which could only have come about if the Vatican has rewired history deliberately. I'm looking forward to reading both these books and incorporating the bits that make sense into a rapidly changing picture of history I've yet to make full sense of.

It seems we really have very little understanding of who we really are. Like the most consistent piece of evidence across many disciplines and power structures throughout history is that again and again, at all costs, we mustn't know who we really are. 

This thought ties in with a lot of thinking I've uncovered elsewhere but there's no evidence to back it up so I wont repeat it until there is. If ever. Though privately I don't mind sharing what I know.


Here's the blurb:



Learn how and why Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were crafted during Renaissance. What if the Old Testament was a rendition of events of Middle Ages written after the New Testament? Did the crusaders really wait for 1000 years to punish the tormentors of the Messiah? What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?


Sounds unbelievable? Not after you've read "History: Fiction or Science?" by Anatoly Fomenko, leading mathematician of our time. He follows in steps of Sir Isaac Newton and finds clear evidence of falsification of History. Armed with logic, astronomy and computers he proves the history of humankind to be both dramatically different and drastically shorter than generally presumed.


Archaeological, dendrochronological, paleographical and carbon methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts are both non-exact and contradictory, therefore there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artifact that could be reliably and independently dated earlier than the XI century.


The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the XVI century from the contradictory mix of innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts (all originals have mysteriously disappeared) and the "proofs" delivered by the late mediaeval astronomers, cemented by the authority of writings of the Church Fathers.


In fact, for the last 300 years, the whole class of historians created, researched, perfected and polished a world of phantom universal history and classical civilization artfully constructed by their predecessors in the course of XVI-XVIII centuries at the command of powers of that time. They have polished the real world history into oblivion!


"History: Fiction or Science?", leads You step by step to the inevitable conclusion that the classical chronology is false and therefore, that the history of ancient and medieval world, is also FALSE. After reading this book you will certainly have a fresh and very suspicious outlook on "ancient" and "enigmatic" Roman, Greek and Egyptian, mediaeval as well as all other "lost and found" civilizations.

Anatoly Fomenko - History: Fiction or Science

Listening to the previous interview with Clif High, I had my head blown when he moved onto the Anatoly T. Fomenko subject. I've found his first two books on Google Books so I'm posting them as an aid to others and a reminder to myself to read as soon as possible. There's heated criticism of them which is always a good sign that attention should be paid to them.

Here's the blurbs and reviews both negative and postive: 

History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

Review

Earth was flat. Humans saw that it was flat, books were telling scholars that it was flat, teachers were teaching students it was flat; scientists knew it was flat. There was some disagreement about the way it was kept afloat, most common versions were elephants, whales and turtles, but that was subject for scientific discussion. Until Magellan sailed around the globe and proved all this science wrong. This book is precisely about same situation. Although it is written for casual reader, it still bears all the traits of scientific research. Anyway, history as a science is based on books written by previous generation of historians, who based their works on works of previous generation of historians, supplemented by archeological digs (great deal of assumptions was made there too, as people didn't usually mark their belongings with dates), so it definitely needs some mathematical treatment. It is very difficult to digest the new version of history from Fomenko without getting allergic shock. Official timeline is accepted in the same way as gravity, and movement of the sun; many nations have developed their identity based on official history. Literally speaking chronology is in our culture, in our roots, personal identity. Someone said here that this book was written by Russian nationalist to reassure Russian national identity. May be so, but I think for Russians will be very difficult to swallow that they were actually Mongols and Tatars too. This book will turn your world upside down. Literally. --New Book Review, 03-03-2007 (CA, USA)

History: Fiction Or Science? is a quite scholarly expose of the extreme limitations of our understanding of human history. So few physical records have survived hundreds, let alone thousands of years that it casts even the most conventional understanding of what really happened into doubt. Chapters address the problems of historical chronology in general, astronomical datings, astronomy in the Old Testament, methods of dating ancient events via mathematical statistics, the construction of a global chronological map, the Dark Ages, and much more. Black-and-white illustrations add a vivid touch to this scholarly work that may appear controversial yet deals with a very serious issue directly affecting humanity's comprehension of its own past. --Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)

Benjamin Fulford - Is the Rothschild Banking Monopoly Finally about to Be Dismantled?

The situation in Europe is making it clear to all but the most brainwashed that something historical is taking place. What is happening is that the criminal element at the very top of the Western power structure, especially at the very top of the financial system, has been cut off from their money printing machine. As a result, the IMF and the major European and US money center banks are insolvent. No amount of lying or paper shuffling or propaganda is going to hide this fundamental truth. The governments of Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy etc. know that the debts they supposedly owe to bankers were created through fraudulent book entries and thus do not have to be repaid. That is why the banks suddenly announced that Greece only had to pay back 50% of their debt even though such a write off would destroy them. They are hoping for a tax payer bail-out that is just not going to happen. It is game over. The Rothschild banking nightmare is ending.

Even the highly brainwashed priesthood known as Western financial gurus and journalists are starting to realize that something is not right. The big announcement by European governments of a “solution” to the Greek and Euro crises is a case in point. If you analyze the announcement you realize that essentially the banks and governments are saying the banks will pay for 50% of the Greek debt with money they do not have. The governments say they will pay for it by “leveraging” the money they already have. They do not say who is going to be dumb enough to finance a bankrupt gambler who wants to quadruple his risk.

Please note that as soon as the “solution” to the crisis was announced, high level begging missions were sent to Asia, including French President Sarkozy. Why would they need to go to Asia to ask for money if they had come up with a solution?

The IMF, supposedly the world’s “lender of last resort” is also continuing to admit they have no money. The reason is that the IMF itself cannot prove that its money comes from legitimate sources.

The fact of the matter is that the criminal part of the world’s financial system is falling apart. The IMF will soon cease to be solvent. The same is true of the World Bank. The BIS is also in trouble. In fact, the entire Rothschild banking monopoly is in deep trouble.

The freeze of “trading platforms” remains in place, meaning that the controllers of the fiat system can no longer pump new money into the system. The best they can do is reshuffle money that is already in the system. New money will only start entering the global financial system once the new asset-backed system is in place.

“The IMF and the World Bank existed to force the Rothschild banking system on the countries of the world,” is how an extremely senior Chinese official explained the situation. “Our goal is to reboot the system, to start over and set all the parameters in a fair way so that all countries benefit from the pooled assets of the people of the world and not just Europe and North America,” he continued.

The original system was meant to have been run by the Swiss and protected by the Americans, he continued. “The basic failure was that the system of checks and balances failed and the people who were supposed to protect the system ended up abusing it,” he added.

What is now going to happen is that the 100 countries that have so far joined the new system started in Monaco in August, are going to implement the new system in four stages, according to a White Dragon Society source. The US military and agencies will be involved in this process right from the beginning, he added. Efforts to intimidate generals by using corrupt institutions like the IRS to try to repossess their homes will backfire and lead to criminal prosecutions.

The first step will be a lawsuit that will be filed before November 15th against the individuals and groups who abused the Federal Reserve Board system. This will lead to liens being placed against many of the largest financial institutions in the world, according to the filers. There will also be mass arrests.

The other steps have yet to be disclosed. However, some basic truths are already known. First of all, all honest businessmen and bankers worldwide will have nothing to worry about. Second of all, the money created through derivatives fraud will be eliminated from the books, even if that means bankrupting many of the big Western financial institutions. Third, major historical financial injustices will be addressed and stolen monies and assets will be returned to their rightful owners. This will be good news for the vast majority of Western citizens as well as the inhabitants of long exploited regions like Africa.

The international banking and payment settlements systems will remain in place after the reboot. This will mean the minimum possible disruption to legitimate business.

However, as mentioned earlier, the international institutions set up and controlled by a small group of Western oligarchs after World War 2 will be totally revamped.

Citbank Arrests #OWS Customers For Closing Accounts

Barely days after Citibank CEO Vikram Pandit talked about his sympathies with Occupy Wall Street and his willingness to engage with protesters, a Citibank in New York locked the doors of their branch and arrested a group of Citibank account holders who wished to to close their accounts. It's clear that Citibank are terrified that a few accounts closing will lead to a run on their bank. It would only take a small percentage of account holders to prove that Citibank is an economic hologram and like much of the financial sector, including the privately owned Federal Reserve, is desperately hiding how weak it is. The 99% are waking up and realise they've been duped, fleeced,conned and bullied for far too long.

Vikram Pandit, like all corporate psychopaths is clinically devoid of human empathy and necessarily has a relentless ability to justify corporate greed, as exemplified by his salary stock options and bonuses. There will be no Citibank/Vikram Pandit full apology and there will be no hint of confused embarrassment at the corporate or individuals inability to reconcile arresting law abiding customers on premises with wishing to engage the occupy movement just a few days before. 

It's a PR disaster of Greek tragedy proportions and the kind of paranoid reflexive action we're learning to expect, much like the NYPD macing defenceless women that unveils how scared the machine is of the 99% and how close the matrix is to collapsing.

Good Morning America (Are you even awake)

What a complete sell out George Stephanopoulis has become. The idealistic and bright young Greek American Democrat of the nineties is now just another paid mouthpiece. 

The only people who believe the 911 Commission report are those who haven't done their homework. Rather than interrogate the hard facts of Jesse Ventura, George insults American people's intelligence by switching to an old comedy clip. Put another way, Jesse Ventura (who has chronic ego issues) points out that the United States is indistinguishable from Nazi Germany and isn't run by traditional political parties and the media feel that comedy clip is more important. How telling.

MESSENGER

It's not often I can sit through a 160 minutes of unvarnished Hollywood with a poorly rated 10 year old movie but I just did. It's called The Postman and I can't remember who suggested I should watch it but I think it's closely linked to the John Titor story I've been intrigued by recently. The post apocalyptic details are uncannily similar.

The hook that was most interesting in this otherwise pedestrian movie was the idea that it wasn't what was said or done that motivated disparate groups to rise up against the Barbarian impersonating Bethlehem character, but rather mishap, serendipity, legend and myth coalescing around a couple of peaceful ideals. By the time Costner slips on postal uniform and a tells a few fibs to cadge a free meal, he had worked his way into a dispirited people's conciousness and the idea of a great hero reuniting the former United States grows to become an epic story. This galavanised people into writing letters to long lost connections in a post-electric-grid world. One threatened by marauding armies extracting taxes and punishment.

I admit I also watched it as a sort of compromise movie as I felt my girlfriend would enjoy the ease of comprehension and the romantic scenes which Costner delivers on with admirable fortitude. I could barely stifle a giggle from the idea of a pseudo postman getting laid in city to city from women yearning for pregnancy from post-nuclear sterile husbands. Hot bath and free meals too. What's not to like about that?

But the odd synchronicities encouraged me to sit through the movie because it occurred to me that I'm also reading Bukowski's Post Office, and then there's the success of the first satellite called MESSENGER to orbit Mercury only days ago and for some reason I feel that Mercury is the definitive under rated planet to be given sufficient analysis compared to the two that NASA is obsessed by. Mars (God of War) and Saturn from the Greek Chronus which means time and who was also the father of Zeus.

Mercury is of course the obvious choice if one wanted to play the Vatican and assign a patron saint to advertising. The messenger. Hermes. Closest planet to the Sun. You heard it here first.

Gnosticism & Hermeneutics

Yesterday I had a decisive epiphany listening to an interview of Jay Weidner that I not only could spend the rest of my life researching Gnosticism and Hermeneutics but that I likely will. The motivation is the seemingly unending nature of the task, it's widespread connections with most of what I am interested in and most importantly its indiscriminate approach to exploration of all that is interesting and related to conciousness. It's probably a little late in the day to pick up an interest in such a topic but I've yet to hear an authority on the subject come close to boring. Here's a little sample of on the Ouroboros above and a podcast video of one of the pre-eminent experts in the world John Lash. My only regret is not discovering this fascinating subject earlier.

The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle. It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, unity, or infinity. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations. More recently, it has been interpreted by psychoanalysts, such as Carl Jung, as having an archetypical significance to the human psyche.

The Ouroboros is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. The serpent or dragon appears in Aztec, Norse, Middle East, and Native American mythologies, as well as in Ancient Greek, Gnostic, Christian, Hindu and West African cultures.

Plato described a self-eating, circular being as the first living thing in the universe—an immortal, perfectly constructed animal.

Did you do any fornicating?

I really like Oliver Stone's work. I think he's consistently dealt with the most excruciating themes of the American 20th century in a candid way that most Americans aren't ready to deal with. I also like that he did two tours of duty in Vietnam despite being part of that privileged elite who could have avoided the draft, as did the Neocon chicken-hawks; Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, William Kristol et al.

I just rewatched Stone's Nixon earlier because yesterday I finally got round to seeing Frost/Nixon, a clip of which I've used above. It's extraordinarily good and made me want to revisit Nixon the man because in the thick of all the Bush bashing (when it's evident he never really had the intellectual gravitas to manipulate the world but was instead a subject of manipulation) I took great delight in telling people Nixon was one of my favourite presidents. I can't say it now because I've dug a bit deeper after watching this, though I will say that despite the carnage that Nixon authorised, particularly the unconscionable bombing of Laos and Cambodia he still presided over the most geopolitically volatile period apart from all out world war. It's easier with hindsight but the question remains did he exploit that geopolitical volatility? Was it really necessary?

The answer's probably no because proxy ideological wars in far away places are at a primary assessment level abysmal failures though arguably have much more complex secondary geopolitcal angles like the suggestion I read today that Afghanistan and Iraq is about having an experienced army  at hand if middle Asia becomes the arena for conflict over resources (not just oil). Believe me the only peaceful ideological solution we have for that is a sharing one. Marx came close and I suggest we need to try again, because the profit motive is hitting a dead end and hey, even the Wright brothers didn't quit when their first plane nose dived. However my ideological chin sticking out affirms a simple principle. Don't bomb and maim small Buddhist countries to achieve larger geopolitical ends. Take some pain on the chin, and I most definitely am looking at the United Kingdom as well as the United States too.

It's time to open up an Easter Egg on this blog because when I wrote that last Nixon piece it had another story behind it. It was allegorical too, because my apartment was being broken into at the time. The protagonist(s) were also reading my blog (note the personal Wifi router the case is sitting on) so I thought I'd land a punch when it suited me and today it does. So I guess I got to write about it, share what I think about Richard Nixon and pluralistic thinking, as well as nail a date and a time to that period when things like my Porsche briefcase had it's combination lock popped while I wasn't at home.  I did walk away with my full deposit from that affair. That's unheard of in Asia when two warring sides choose to go their separate ways with a tenancy contract between them.

I don't mind confessing there were days when I thought I'd lose a lot more than the deposit as I'm stubborn. It's irrespective of what influence or power I'm up against though a shiny motorcycle police escort one early morning while nipping down to 7 Eleven prompted me to settle for the cash. A foreigner never actually win's in Asia so I did OK given who I was up against, and that post I wrote time stamps accusations without ambiguity. Not that I didn't appreciate it being nominated for post of the month too because the dual narratives were completely coherent and utterly sincere. You'll forgive me if I killed two birds with one stone. It's the mark of a really lazy person not an industrious one ironically.

Anyway that was  all wild and I learned that snakes really do writhe when you have them by the tail but the reason for this post is very simply to outline that Oliver Stone is for me, more of a patriot than any of the abysmal Tea Party crowd and (I contest) a brave creative American icon. Which is kind of my way of saying sorry, because I met him in a nightclub once, here in Bangkok. He'd been filming Alexander the Great and unfortunately I'm less amusing after a cocktail than I think I am so I confirmed if his name was Oliver and leaned into his ear sharing something along the lines of 'I hope you didn't omit from your film, that while Alexander was pinning down Asia, he was also pinning down his Generals'.

Oliver immediately backed away as if purgatory was imminent and his entourage protectively engulfed me from saying another word, sweeping me away back into a less interesting world. The moral of the story I guess is just be nice, say hi and 'how are you' when you meet someone you respect instead of being a smart ass, and also just make sure they haven't directed a turkey of a movie.

Both Nixon and Frost Nixon are brilliant films. The first historically and the second, well the second did something that a small screen has never done for me before. I've been moved by actors on the big screen theatre but the Nixon character in this second movie. I was spellbound by the end. I never believed that a small netbook screen could ever command  or impose such pathos and yet it was all there. You should watch it because even if you don't care about politics you should care about how the mightiest can fall and once again how little in life is black and white all set to a Greek tragedy of biblical proportion. I just discovered that Frank Langella was nominated for an Oscar in this movie and that's the most deserving nomination I can think of for some time. I also think it's great to see actors doing very fine jobs of David Frost and John Birt. Both of whom now I think have knighthoods. Watch Langella in this. Sometimes it's like a bear leaning over you baring perfectly ominous but preternaturally perfect teeth. Or is that Frost as well?
