2012 and the Return of Atlantis

The Winter Solstice of 2012 marks the end of one 26,000 year astrological cycle and the beginning of a new one. On 21st December of that year there will be a cosmic moment when unknown and miraculous things beyond our comprehension may happen. The planetary configurations offer the potential for a huge shift in consciousness so, if you are ready, a unique opportunity for spiritual growth is available to you.

The importance of 2012 was understood by the Aztecs and Mayans, as well as the Maori, African and Native American Indian shamans amongst others, who prophesied a twenty-five year period of purification followed by a great shift, though they could not see what this was.

Currently we are told that many in the third dimension will move into the fourth, where their hearts will open and they will seek peace. Those already at that level will shift into the fifth dimension and start finding fair solutions to global problems. Some will ascend and pass over. Others ready for ascension will remain on Earth as beacons of light for the masses. However, there will not be a dramatic change. All this will come about slowly.

We have an opportunity now to bring back the energy of the Golden Age of Atlantis. Atlantis was originally a continent covering the Atlantic Ocean and was set up as a divine experiment which lasted for 240,000 years. For 1500 years of this the people created heaven on Earth. This golden era was a time of contentment and oneness. Psychic gifts were highly regarded and all latent abilities in children were honoured, valued and developed. Everyone was clairvoyant, telepathic and clairaudient, so everything was open and honest.

They maintained this high level of psychic attunement and spiritual connection by being close to nature and by relaxing and filling their lives with simple fun, creativity, laughter and contemplation. They lived totally in the present and there were no past or future tenses or negative words.

It was the spiritual technology developed in this time that rendered Atlantis so extraordinary. Housed in the Temple of Poseidon was a new Great Crystal of pure Source energy. This was the power generator for the whole continent and it linked to a network of crystal pyramids, forming a power grid. This enabled people to access clean, free energy for lighting, heating, refrigeration or transport, by tuning their individual crystals into the grid.

The Great Crystal was also a mainframe computer. Technological information was downloaded to individual temple crystals, where it was accessed by the immensely powerful Magi and passed to the people to develop.

There was no disease. In the earliest days families would regularly visit the temples where the priests would balance and realign each person's mental, emotional and spiritual bodies using sound and crystals.

The healer priests were skilled spiritual and crystal healers, who would use crystal laser wands to perform psychic surgery. Temples of sound were built so that the pitch within was perfect, and sound was used for healing, to knit bones, regeneration of limbs and detoxification. The early Atlanteans were superb herbalists, aromatherapists and hypnotherapists.

All the healing methods they used then have been returned to us and we need to develop them. However we more frequently need medical intervention now as we have much more deeply embedded karmic issues to deal with.

Marriage was considered a sacred contract for parenthood was recognised as an important spiritual responsibility. Parents-to-be connected with the incoming soul before conception, so that each baby was welcomed and cherished. A priest would examine the aura of the child for his latent psychic and spiritual gifts and talents, which would be developed and honoured by family and community. Children grew up with a sense of self-worth, happiness, belonging and connection.

Young children were educated outside in nature, where they were encouraged to express their creativity and learn through song, drama, music, art and play. The aim was to expand their right brain, which keeps the connection to Source open.

Later they were taken to the temples to be taught in classes which were peaceful, light and fun-filled. The first qualities to be developed within the children were awareness and respect. The youngsters learnt to watch the energies of plants, animals, people and all things, so they knew if a plant or animal needed help. They understood that they could not hurt anything without hurting themselves.

The children's spiritual and psychic gifts were carefully developed. They were taught self-discipline and elementary mind control. If, for example, a child was hungry and wanted an orange from a tree, he could simply focus on the fruit with his mind and it would float to him. This development of their psychic gifts conferred immense power and responsibility on the youngsters and helped them to grow spiritually.

Music was used in the temples to assist the children to relax, so they were able to absorb the information telepathically imparted to them by the priests. While they were in trance the children practised visualisation, so that they could develop powers of manifestation.

In Golden Atlantis the people all had twelve chakras so they literally glowed and radiated. However, five closed as the pure power diminished. As we evolve again, these will be re-activated within us, so that we can once more connect with Source and heal our planet.

The Angels of Atlantis returned to Earth a few years ago, seeking those who are pure and dedicated enough to work with them to help develop another Golden Era. If you love crystals and dolphins, talk to your plants or dream you can fly, you were probably in Golden Age and have reincarnated now to bring the energy back.

People often ask me how I became interested in angels, ascension and Atlantis. I came from a background which was totally non-spiritual, psychic or religious. Yet when I was at rock bottom I called out to the Universe for help and was visited by an angel who showed me my future as a spiritual teacher, a seeming impossibility at the time!

However it gave me a vision and set me on a spiritual path. Ten years later the angel returned and asked me to spread information about them, so I started to write books and lecture about them throughout the world. Another ten years on they wanted me to create a school to teach people to run workshops about angels and ascension which I did. The Angels of Atlantis then told me it was important to bring back the energy of Golden Atlantis. With a friend I set out to discover everything I could about Atlantis and the golden era. I was awed by what I learnt.

Diana Cooper is well known for her spiritual books and workshops about Angels, Ascension, Atlantis, Orbs and Spiritual Laws. Her books include; Discover Atlantis, Angel Answers, Angel Cards, Wisdom Cards, A little light on Ascension, A little light on Spiritual Laws and many others. She works with her guide Kumeka and has inspired thousands of people to connect with their own angels and guides for healing and transformation.

Akashic Field Therapy

The Akashic Records (Akasha is Sanskrit for "sky", "space" or "ether") are a collection of mystical knowledge stored in the etheric plane (a non-physical plane of existence 'above' the physical that is related to the animating life force energy). The Akashic Records are said to have existed since the beginning of time and act as a library, recording everything in creation. Clairvoyants such as Edgar Cayce and Rudolf Steiner accessed these records-Cayce used them for his readings on individuals, and Steiner more specifically for his esoteric research of human karma and evolution, and mystical teachings of the world religions. Cayce believed that the Akashic Records contain a history of every soul since the dawn of creation, and the stimulus for every symbol, archetype or mythic story that has ever touched the patterns of human behaviour. When asked where the records reside, he replied "in the skein of space and time" and that the "records are everywhere". 1 Steiner described these libraries as holding the living records of each person's incarnation such that the 'reader' is able to experience the life and interact with it.

The 'portion' of the Akashic Records connected to an individual- referred to as their Akashic Field-contains all thought, feeling, action from past lives, present life, and future potentials that they have access to at any point in time. It may be thought of as a configuration of thoughts and beliefs that determines the person's point of consciousness in time. Cayce emphasized that a person's individual Akashic records are continually updated and rewritten by their own free will and choices made in the present. Every choice-either rooted in love or fear-causes both past and futures to be updated with that energy of intention. The past exists as perception within our mind, which may either be repressive or uplifting to us-by making choices in the present that transcend our fixed or negative perceptions of the past, we effectively change the past in our minds. Likewise, the future is also a thought that may act to repress or expand our consciousness. Within each present-moment choice, we either bury or we uncover and utilize hidden potentials, and this is how we choose the future that will be unfolded among all the possibilities held in our Akashic Field. The important point is that these records are living and changing according to our changing consciousness expressed via choice, and so in no way is our life predetermined.

CJ Martes, the developer of Akashic Field Therapy (AFT), explains that Cayce's theories on the Akashic Field are strikingly similar to views that have emerged from Quantum Physics. The recently discovered area of time and space called the Quantum vacuum or Zero-point field is described as a sea of electromagnetic zero-point energy that underlies everything, and that the very stability of matter depends on its presence. It is thought that this vacuum is a "super dense cosmic frictionless medium that carries light and all the universal forces of nature."1 In Science and the Akashic Field , László posits that it is also a sea of information conveying the historical experience of matter. "1 This latter observation may explain the similar view held by such different areas of thought as those of Edgar Cayce and Quantum Physics, namely, that our thoughts do indeed create our reality and that it is our perceptions that drive what is real for each of us, as thought becomes impressed upon this sea of information.

The above understandings form the basis for Akashic Field Therapy. By clearing the traumas, blockages and other dense energy imprints in the Field, we can have an immediate impact on a person's perception in the present, and consequently, on the life unfolding within the Field. AFT is a process of finding and clearing limiting or negative 'life programs' (LPs) within a person's psyche. Each LP comprises a set of about 5 or 6 'patterns' that present hindrance to a person's growth. A pattern is something like an emotional block, a 'mask' a person wears, a routine behavior, an entrenched emotional state or negative belief, an energy drain such as a 'cord' attachment to a loved one, and so forth. These patterns may be considered as dense energy thoughtforms in a person's Field, which hinder 'light' and thus, conscious awareness. When these become 'triggered', the person goes into reaction according to those patterns, which are unconscious in them. The patterns are interconnected--so when one gets triggered, the whole comes into play.

Each LP has a root or exacerbating trauma that is also identified and released. These are very important, as the psyche develops many defensive patterns to prevent access to the root trauma. So when the root trauma is lessened or released, the impact is felt throughout the Field. While the shift may be subtle at first, it gains momentum in time.

The process if very flexible and specific issues may be zeroed in on (overweight, depression, relationship, illness, etc.). It also works very quickly in children because their programs and patterns are not as enmeshed or embedded as they typically are with adults.

The Akashic Field and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels of Acupuncture

My interest in Akashic fields came out of a fascination with the eight extraordinary meridians or vessels (also referred to by Donna Eden as strangeflows). The view from esoteric acupuncture is that, more than pathways of qi, meridians are roadmaps leading us to our destiny, and that the extraordinary vessels, as precursor to the ordinary meridians, move essence rather than qi. Essence moves in cycles of time (lifecycles) and controls our growth and development according to the potential existing within it. According to how our potential is realized or repressed, these vessels will flow freely or become blocked. Esoterically, these vessels hold a record of all we've been and done and all our latent potentials--which is what is held in the Akashic field. These vessels act as reservoirs of karma and synchronicity, feeding our lives as appropriate. They also act as reservoirs for the overflow 'stuff' that we cannot reconcile in our daily lives via the 12 ordinary meridians. The eight extraordinary vessels may thus be considered as the etheric infrastructure that holds the Akashic information. And so clearing the Field would be equivalent to clearing and supporting the eight strangeflows of acupuncture.

And as these vessels are precursors to the quality and flow of the qi in our meridians, which in turn are precursor to our manifested physicality, the effects of this clearing work are far-reaching and life changing.

Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records

The Akashic Records or "The Book of Life" can be equated to the universe's super computer system. It is this system that acts as the central storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth. More than just a reservoir of events, the Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought, and intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the world. Much more than simply a memory storehouse, however, these Akashic Records are interactive in that they have a tremendous influence upon our everyday lives, our relationships, our feelings and belief systems, and the potential realities we draw toward us.

It is no exaggeration to state that the computer has transformed (and is still in the process of transforming) the entire planet. Whether it's technology, transportation, communication, education, or entertainment, the computer age has revolutionized the globe and the ways in which we understand and interact with one another. No segment of modern society has gone unaffected. The amount of information now stored in computer memory and crossing the Internet highway daily is literally unfathomable. And yet, this vast complex of computer systems and collective databases cannot begin to come close to the power, the memory, or the omniscient recording capacity of the Akashic Records.

The Akashic Records contain the entire history of every soul since the dawn of Creation. These records connect each one of us to one another. They contain the stimulus for every archetypal symbol or mythic story which has ever deeply touched patterns of human behavior and experience. They have been the inspiration for dreams and invention. They draw us toward or repel us from one another. They mold and shape levels of human consciousness. They are a portion of Divine Mind. They are the unbiased judge and jury that attempt to guide, educate, and transform every individual to become the very best that she or he can be. They embody an ever-changing fluid array of possible futures that are called into potential as we humans interact and learn from the data that has already been accumulated.

Information about these Akashic Records - this Book of Life - can be found in folklore, in myth, and throughout the Old and New Testaments. It is traceable at least as far back as the Semitic peoples and includes the Arabs, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Babylonians, and the Hebrews. Among each of these peoples was the belief that there was in existence some kind of celestial tablets which contained the history of humankind as well as all manner of spiritual information.

The first reference in Scripture to some unearthly volume is found in Exodus 32:32. After the Israelites had committed a most grievous sin by worshiping the golden calf, it was Moses who pleaded on their behalf, even offering to take full responsibility and have his own name stricken "out of thy book which thou hast written" in recompense for their deed. Later, in the Old Testament, we learn that there is nothing about an individual that is not known in this same book. In Psalm 139, David makes reference to the fact God has written down everything about him and all the details of his life - even that which is imperfect and those deeds which have yet to be performed.

For many individuals this Book of Life is simply an imagery symbol of those destined for heaven and has its roots in the custom of recording genealogical records of names or perhaps early census taking. Traditional religion suggests that this book - either in literal or symbolic form - contains the names of all those who are worthy of salvation. TheBook is to be opened in connection with divine judgment (Dan. 7:10, Rev. 20:12). In the New Testament, those redeemed by Christ are contained within the Book (Philippians 4), those not found in the Book of Life will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

As an interesting corollary, in the ancient world, a person's name was symbolic of his or her existence. According to Sir James George Frazer, author of The Golden Bough - one of the most extensive volumes on world mythology - there was such a bond between one's name and one's existence "that magic may be wrought on a man just as easily as through his name as through his hair, his nails, or any other material part of his person." In ancient Egypt, to blot a name out of a record was equivalent to destroying the fact that the person had ever even existed.

Closer to our current era, a great deal of contemporary information on the Akashic Records has been made available by both reputable psychics and modern-day mystics - individuals who have somehow perceived beyond the limits of three dimensions. According to H.P. [Helena Petrovna] Blavatsky (1831-1891), Russian immigrant, mystic, and founder of the Theosophical Society, the Akashic Records are much more than simply an account of static data which may be gleaned by a sensitive; instead, the records have an ongoing creative stimulus upon the present:

Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a plastic matter, creative in its physical nature, immutable in its higher principles. It is the quintessence of all possible forms of energy, material, psychic, or spiritual; and contains within itself the germs of universal creation, which sprout forth under the impulse of the Divine Spirit.
Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), the Austrian-born philosopher, educator, and founder of the Anthroposophical Society possessed the ability to perceive information beyond the material world: a "spiritual world" which was just as real to him as the physical world was to others. Steiner claimed that the ability to perceive this other world could be developed, enabling an individual to see events and information every bit as concrete as the present:

...man can penetrate to the eternal origins of the things which vanish with time. A man broadens his power of cognition in this way if he is no longer limited to external evidence where knowledge of the past is concerned. Then he can see in events what is not perceptible to the senses, that part which time cannot destroy. He penetrates from transitory to non-transitory history. It is a fact that this history is written in other characters than is ordinary history. In gnosis and in theosophy it is called the "Akasha Chronicle"...To the uninitiated, who cannot yet convince himself of the reality of a separate spiritual world through his own experience, the initiate easily appears to be a visionary, if not something worse. The one who has acquired the ability to perceive in the spiritual world comes to know past events in their eternal character. They do not stand before him like the dead testimony of history, but appear in full life. In a certain sense, what has happened takes place before him.
Cosmic Memory

In terms of contemporary insights, perhaps the most extensive source of information regarding the Akashic Records comes from the clairvoyant work of Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), Christian mystic and founder of A.R.E. For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar Cayce possessed the uncanny ability to lie down on a couch, close his eyes, fold his hands over his stomach, and put himself into some kind of an altered state in which virtually any type of information was available. The accuracy of Cayce's psychic work is evidenced by approximately one dozen biographies and literally hundreds of titles which explore various aspects of his information and the thousands of topics he discussed.

When asked about the source of his information, Cayce replied that there were essentially two. The first was the subconscious mind of the individual for whom he was giving the reading and the second was the Akashic Records.

Most often, when giving a reading which discussed a person's soul history and his or her individual sojourn through space and time, Cayce would begin with a statement such as, "Yes, we have before us the records of the entity now known or called _________." In discussing the process for accessing these records, Edgar Cayce described his experience as follows:

I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical body, which lies inert before me. I find myself oppressed by darkness and there is a feeling of terrific loneliness. Suddenly, I am conscious of a white beam of light. As this tiny dot, I move upward following the light, knowing that I must follow it or be lost.

As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious of various levels upon which there is movement. Upon the first levels there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in nightmares. Passing on, there begin to appear on either side misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified. Again there is change and I become conscious of gray-hooded forms moving downward. Gradually, these become lighter in color. Then the direction changes and these forms move upward and the color of the robes grows rapidly lighter. Next, there begin to appear on either side vague outlines of houses, walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless. As I pass on, there is more light and movement in what appear to be normal cities and towns. With the growth of movement I become conscious of sounds, at first indistinct rumblings, then music, laughter, and singing of birds. There is more and more light, the colors become very beautiful, and there is the sound of wonderful music. The houses are left behind, ahead there is only a blending of sound and color. Quite suddenly I come upon a hall of records. It is a hall without walls, without ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing an old man who hands me a large book, a record of the individual for whom I seek information.

Reading 294-19 Report File

Once given the record, Cayce had the ability to select the information which would be most capable of assisting the individual at that time in his or her life. Frequently, a reading might suggest that only a selection of the available material was being provided, but that the individual was being given that which would be "most helpful and hopeful." Additional insights were frequently provided in subsequent readings once an individual had attempted to work with and apply the information which had been given previously.

As a means of perhaps alluding to the fact that the Akashic Records were not simply a transcription of the past but included the present, the future, and certain probabilities as well, in reading 304-5, Cayce began the reading with a curious statement.

When discussing the Book of Life, he stated it that it was "The record of God, of thee, thy soul within and the knowledge of same." (281-33) On another occasion (2533-8) Cayce was asked to explain the difference between the Book of Life and the Akashic Records:

Q. [What is meant by] The Book of Life?

A. The record that the individual entity itself writes upon the skein of time and space, through patience - and is opened when self has attuned to the infinite, and may be read by those attuning to that consciousness...

Q. The Book of God's Remembrances?

A. This is the Book of Life.

Q. The Akashic Records?

A. Those made by the individual, as just indicated.

2533-8

The Edgar Cayce readings suggest that each of us writes the story of our lives through our thoughts, our deeds, and our interactions with the rest of creation. This information has an effect upon us in the here and now. In fact, the Akashic Records have such an impact upon our lives and the potentials and probabilities we draw toward us that any exploration of them cannot help but provide us with insights into the nature of ourselves and our relationship to the universe.

There is much more to our lives, our histories, and our individual influence upon our tomorrows than we have perhaps dared to imagine. By accessing information from the Akashic Records, the universe's computer database, much might be revealed to us. The world as we have collectively perceived it is but a faint shadow of Reality.

Kevin Todeschi is the Executive Director and CEO of Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment, overseeing activities of the Cayce work worldwide. A prolific writer, he is the author of twenty books, including Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records, Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates, and Family Karma: The Hidden Ties that Bind.

Are We Living Inside a Gigantic Brain?

Living Inside a Mega Brain

Metaphysicists identify the records imprinted on the zero point field as the "Akashic records". This forms the "memory" of the universal brain-mind or computer. According to metaphysicist, Charles Leadbeater, if the observer is not focusing on them, the records simply form the background to whatever is going on. Under such conditions they merely reflect the mental activity of a greater consciousness on a far higher plane which is accessible to us. We are in a sense living in this much larger brain. This suggests that all human beings (and other life-forms) can and do use the shared (information processing) services of a "universal brain".

Observing the dynamic and visual Akashic records would be like watching the larger brain's movie from a distance. As you move closer and focus on what is going on in a particular scene, you are immediately in the scene, surrounded by all the characters. The characters of course cannot see you. Neither can you change anything in the scene. In this way, a person can time travel as an observer, without violating causality. What you see is sometimes in the past and sometimes in the future. The rate at which "the story unfolds" can be altered. Genuine psychics and most people during near-death experiences have access to these records.

Leadbeater warns that the Akashic records must not be confused with mere man-made thought-forms, which exist in abundance in the higher energy planes or spheres. It is possible that if the right brain is not shielded effectively from the usually dominant left brain (the "theory maker") many errors will arise when reading the records.

"The Akashic records or 'The Book of Life' can be equated to the universe's super computer system." – Kevin Todeschi, Edgar Cayce scholar

The Universe is a Computer

According to Science reporter J R Minkel, in his article "If the Universe Were a Computer", information theory says that every physical system, from a glass of water to a microchip, holds "1"s and "0"s in the states of its component particles. Changes in those states could be called "computation", just as your desktop machine computes by changing the information in its memory. The only possible outcomes of measuring an electron’s spin are "up" and "down". You can choose any axis to measure the spin but once that axis is chosen only two results are possible. These outcomes could just as well be labeled as "1" and "0" – as they are in digital computers. According to Seth Lloyd in a paper called "Computational Capacity of the Universe", all physical systems register and process information. The laws of physics determine the amount of information that a physical system can register and the number of elementary logic operations that a system can perform. The universe can therefore be considered a physical system or a gigantic computer. As a computer the number of elementary operations the universe has performed to-date has been calculated to be 10^120 operations on 10^90 bits.

Filaments and Nerves

It is interesting to note that the higher energy universes (as described by plasma metaphysics), composed of filaments punctuated with galaxies, bear an uncanny resemblance to our brains, composed of nerve fibers punctuated with neural cell bodies.

These successive universes can operate as the many layers of a gigantic electronic brain (analogous to the cortex and sub-cortex in our biomolecular brain) inside which our own subtle brain-bodies live and think. The filamentary structures carry current — just as nerves (to some extent) do. It would not be difficult to incorporate logic gates and arithmetic units into these structures.

The computational power required to generate a tiny living ant, which responds to multiple inputs from the environment and with its unique structure and behavior, would be challenging even to our current supercomputers. Considering that there are maybe trillions of life-forms on this planet alone, only the computational power of a series of higher energy universes (equivalent to the many layers of a universal brain) would suffice. This is the source of "universal intelligence and creativity".

The Akashic Records (aka The Book of Life)

Collectively, the Akashic Records are a field of energy that holds the past, present, and future knowledge of all things, and it manifests everywhere at once. Within this all-encompassing field are individual energy fields for each being that are immensely vast in their own right. An individual field is known as the Akashic Record, the Akashic Field, or The Book of Life for an individual; and it contains every thought, word, intent, emotion, and deed of that soul from the time it leaves its point of origin until the end of time. This field also holds the deepest meanings and connections between each piece of information, plus the soul’s purpose, callings, talents, and lessons. Information in each soul’s Record becomes available through a certain unique frequency, like a fingerprint encoded into the energies of the universe.

People access the Records in a variety of ways for a variety of purposes. For instance, the famous 20th Century prophet and medium, Edgar Cayce, accessed Akashic information while in a kind of trance state. It was within this state that he was able to bring forth information to heal multitudes as well as to see into the past and future as few have. He gave 14,306 readings that have been well documented and studied, covering over 10,000 topics. He founded the Association for Research & Enlightenment in Virginia in 1931, and this organization still builds upon the information revealed in Cayce’s readings.

Nostradamus also admitted using the field of the Akashic Records to bring forth all of his prophecies, but he worked with methods of access derived from Greek oracles, mysticism, and the Kabbalah. Still other Akashic Record consultants invoke sacred prayers to gain access, or receive information while they sleep or through other rituals.

Famous inventors, musicians, writers, and creators of every type have felt a deep connection to the Akashic Records—even when not consciously aware of it—and have received amazing works from them. The Records indicate that one’s frequency must be aligned a certain way to receive the information imparted. So, to receive a musical composition, one must generally have some musical ability; to receive a literary work, one must be somewhat literate; and to receive an idea about the makeup of subatomic particles, one must have some understanding of laws of Nature or a propensity toward physics. The Akashic Records stipulate that an idea may come forth simultaneously from places on opposite ends of the globe when there is a necessity for that idea. In such a case, more than one person must hold the frequency to accept that particular piece of information.

People who access the Akashic Records frequently receive ideas for inventions or other works long before they come into being. For instance, I received concrete plans for GPS, movies on demand, home PC repair businesses, and ergonomics in the early 1970s. The technology for movies on demand is still in its infancy, but the other ideas have flourished. Some people who access the Records receive information before the fact to avert danger or other misfortunes, for themselves and others.

Certain individuals have the ability to access and utilize the special field of the Akashic Records to help individuals move past blocks to success, relationships, path, prosperity, health, and personal truth. Spiritual counselors, consultants, life coaches, or healers of various types gain access to a client’s Records after receiving informed consent, and then they work through any issues that a client requires clarity or closure. One who accesses the Records on another’s behalf can often empower somebody to release blocks to self-knowledge, purpose, prosperity, or growth very quickly. Once lessons are learned, and the soul’s purpose becomes clear, one is free to move to the next life task. Somebody adept at the Records can see into addictive patterns, the whys of self-defeating behaviors and relationships, the whys of negative habitual responses, and effective ways to create alignment and action in life.

If there are more negative ions inside the neuron, the neuron has a negative electrical charge; conversely, if there are more positive ions inside, then the neuron has a positive electrical charge. When the neuron is resting it has a negative electrical charge. However, when the neuron gets information, an electrical signal is propagated through a network of neurons by a wave of positively charged neurons. Neurons in networks with numerous synapses and feedback loops constantly receive inputs from other neurons, integrate them and generate electrical activity patterns in response. These complex interactions allow neural circuits to process and encode information, support cognitive functions and control behavior. The neural circuits in our brain are similar to electrical circuits.

Canadian psychologist, Donald Hebb, explains memory as a reactivation of the same pattern of neurons that were activated at the time of the original experience. Thinking of the Sahara desert activates one network of neurons, while thinking of rats fires up an entirely different network. Over the years, some of the neurons die or are incorporated into circuits that represent different experiences. Repeated activity between any two neurons or a network of neurons, however, strengthen their connections and the memories they represent. When one neuron is activated it tends to activate the others, which collectively re-create the original pattern that was generated during an experience. Individual neurons are involved in many different circuits and thus participate in many memories simultaneously. It is this connectivity that gives our brains the enormous capacity to encode a vast amount of information.

Holographic Encoding in the Brain and Universe

Following Karl Lashley's work, Karl Pribram, a neurophysiologist at Stanford, proposed that the brain stores information in the same way as interference patterns are encoded on holographic film. Every element in the original image is distributed over the entire film. Trillions of brain cells all contribute to a single memory by recording and combining all the signal patterns at once, including the sensory inputs into the brain. It is the combined firing pattern and interference of trillions of cells that defines a memory. This unique way of storage allows the brain to recall in linear sequences and at the same time access multiple memories.

But it is not only the brain which encodes holographically. David Bohm, separately, recognized that the universe itself appears to be a hologram – being projected from the boundary of the universe. This idea has been taken forward more recently by physicists Gerard t' Hooft, Lee Smolin and others under the banner of "the holographic principle". This is not the only property that the human brain shares with the universe.

Neural Networking in the Cosmic Brain

According to the European Southern Observatory (ESO), "All recent computer-simulations of the early universe have one prediction in common: the first large-scale structures to form in the young universe are long filaments connected at their ends in 'nodes'. The models typically look like a three-dimensional spider's web, and resemble the neural structure of a brain." Now, astronomers have actually detected a "universal web" - vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been "seen" in the current universe. Astronomers using NASA's X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, "viewed" the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. Astronomers say that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These invisible filaments are detected only because higher density ordinary matter tends to accumulate and condense in them - generating radiation which can be measured by scientists to confirm their existence in intergalactic space.

The visible galaxies in the universe are not isolated and disconnected but are interwoven by a filamentary web-like structure - which is the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe. The web-like structure is both a signature feature of invisible dark matter and magnetic plasma. The appearance of this web bears an uncanny resemblance to a cross-section of the brain. (Refer: Brain vs Universe.)

But it is not only the morphology (i.e. structural aspects) of the large scale structure of the universe which is similar to the human brain but also the physiology (i.e. the functions). These filaments carry currents of charged particles (ions) over large distances that generate magnetic fields – similar to a nerve fiber. And they form circuits, just like the neural circuits in the brain.

The high degree of connectivity is what sets the brain apart from an ordinary computer. Connectivity is also apparent in the cosmic web. Galaxies are formed when filaments pinch or cross each other. A nexus of filaments (including thousands of tiny filamentary currents) will provide the connectivity for the transfer of not only energy but information from one galactic nucleus to another. This web-like structure of filaments and vortexes is also similar to the acupuncture meridian system – which includes vortexes called "chakras". According to Dr David Tansely, "The seven major chakras are formed at points where standing lines of light (or meridians) cross each other 21 times. The 21 minor chakras are located at points where the energy strands cross 14 times." These meridians are supported by probably thousands of other smaller filamentary currents. This provides a significant amount of connectivity in our subtle bodies. Similar filamentary currents in the large-scale structure of the universe also provide a high degree of connectivity in the "cosmic brain".
Over time, tiny filamentary currents grow into large filaments as the amount of current flowing through them increases; in others the current decreases according to plasma dynamics. These filaments form networks that reflect the state of the universe at a point in time. The filamentary currents therefore appear to be able to generate the same mechanics that occurs in a brain – enabling memories to be encoded.

Magnetic fields are generated across vast regions of space and have been detected by astrophysicists. Electrical currents in the brain also generate magnetic fields which can be observed by measuring the magnetic fields they generate outside the skull in a technique called magneto-encephalography, or MEG.

Cosmic and planetary consciousness can have a valid scientific basis once we realize that the filaments and galaxies in space, and the web-like structure of filaments and vortexes on Earth, can encode information. Surely, if we can accept an electro-chemical basis for the encoding of memories, why not an electromagnetic one in space and interpenetrating the Earth (as in computers using neural networking technology)?

Earth's Brain

In the author's article Acupuncture Meridians and the Terrestrial Web, it was noted that the lower physical-etheric body of the Earth is also interpenetrated by a web of filaments and vortexes. This structure is even more apparent in the Earth's higher energy 3d-Double. These signature structures bear an uncanny resemblance to our brains - composed of nerve fibers punctuated with neural cell bodies. Just like in the cosmic brain, the Earth's (electromagnetic) brain provides a suitable infrastructure for the encoding of memories.

From the 1930s onwards, Wilder Penfield developed a surgical procedure that allowed him to operate on a patient’s exposed brain while the patient remained fully conscious. As he applied his electrode to the patient’s temporal lobe, his patients described complete flashbacks to episodes earlier in his life. If music was involved, this followed the precise original tempo; the full score of which the patients would be able to hum with total accuracy — much as an autistic savant would be able to reproduce music with almost complete accuracy — like a recording on a video or compact disc. Penfield, in his book The Mystery of the Mind recounted, "They were electrical activations of the sequential record of consciousness, a record that had been laid down during the patient's earlier experience. The patient 're-lived' all that he had been aware of in that earlier period of time as in a moving-picture 'flashback'." He said, "Each time I re-stimulated, she heard the melody again. It began at the same place and went on from chorus to verse."

Penfield concluded that the brain stores everything its owner has ever experienced in its original form. The flash-backs seemed to play themselves out in their proper order like scenes in a movie. "Since the electrode may activate a random sample of this strip from the distant past," he reasoned, "and since the most unimportant and completely forgotten periods of time may appear in this sampling, it seems reasonable to suppose that the record is complete and that it does include all periods of each individual's waking conscious life."

But it is not only personal memories that can be accessed. Forensic psychics actually see the scene through the "eyes" of the victim (even in cases where the victim had already transited to the next universe) or assailant. Paramahansa Yogananda, a modern mystic, recounts (in his book Autobiography of a Yogi) how his consciousness, while in meditation, was transferred to a captain of a sinking ship far away. He lived the harrowing experiences of the captain for several minutes. As the dying captain slipped into unconsciousness, the locus of consciousness was transferred back to Yogananda. This not an isolated case - cases like this have been reported and documented many times. How does the brain housed in one cranium receive information from the brain of another person (dead or alive) from a different part of Earth? Some say a psychic is reading the 'Akashic records'.

The Akashic Records

The movie-like record of experiences that Penfield observed is similar (almost identical) to what has been observed by readers of the Akashic records and also near-death experiencers during "life-reviews". Metaphysicists have identified the records imprinted in space as the "Akashic records". These records are said to be memories encoded in the fabric of spacetime. (The term "Akashic" is derived from a Sanskrit term which means "space".) Or perhaps they are encoded within the invisible dark matter scaffolding of the universe i.e. the web-like structure of filaments and vortexes that surround and interpenetrate the universe and the Earth.

According to metaphysicist, Charles Leadbeater, if the observer is not focusing on them, the Akashic records simply form the background to whatever is going on - reflecting the mental activity of a greater consciousness on a far higher plane which is accessible to us. We are in a sense living in this much larger brain. This suggests that all human beings (and other life-forms) can and do use the shared (information processing) services of Earth's "brain".

Observing the dynamic and visual Akashic records would be like watching a larger brain's movie from a distance. Associative memory ensures that thoughts relating to the same matter are connected – resulting in databases and specific types of environments – as evidenced in the Akashic records. Both heaven and hell may be accessed through the Earth's brain. No doubt, this is also the basis of Carl Jung's "collective unconscious".

Earth's Memory and Paranormal Imprints

There is evidence that Earth encodes memories. According to the paranormal literature, ghosts sometimes do not appear to be conscious. They are completely oblivious to observers, and always look and act the same – almost like a movie being replayed over and over again. These are called "imprints" or "residual hauntings" in the paranormal literature.

Paranormal researchers believe that imprints occur when a vast amount of paranormal energy is left behind and is replayed time after time at the same location and often at the same time of day. Events that trigger such an energy release are fights, murders, rapes, kidnappings, or wars. Famous examples of imprints include the many Civil War Battlefields across the United States. In the battlefields of Gettysburg Pennsylvania the roar of cannon fire and the sounds of gunshots can often be heard in the evening hours. The smell of gun powder can also sometimes be detected in and around the road where fierce fighting took place for many hours during the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg Maryland.

It is still not generally understood how these "energy imprints" takes place. Some popular theories include the notions that the building materials "soak up the energy" of the location and replay these stored energies at a later time or it is energy stored in the atmosphere which is activated by changes in the atmosphere. According to plasma metaphysics "imprints" in the paranormal literature can be attributed to interactions between our brains and the Earth's brain. Every time a person intrudes into a location in the Earth's brain in which a memory is encoded, the memory is activated and replayed - similar to the memories that were activated and replayed by Penfield when he applied an electrode to specific locations in his patients' brains. However, most of the time these activated memories remain in our subconscious - only a powerful memory (usually endowed with strong emotions) in the Earth's brain can pop-up in our conscious awareness. Psychics, however, may sense Earth's memories and are conscious of their replays more often than others.

Interactions between Earth's Brain and our Brains

When forensic psychics access the memory of a victim or an assailant in a crime scene; or the memory associated with a particular location, a continuous flow of information could be taking place between their brains and the "Earth's brain". This may also be true when we access the Akashic records intentionally or unintentionally. Similarly, in "group consciousness", telepathy and remote viewing, the Earth's "neural networks" may be used by the participants. When the locus of consciousness of an individual moves into the Earth's brain, the individual identity is transcended.

Internalization of the Universe and Individuation

Butterflies have more photo-receptors in their visual system than we do. Because of this, their visual systems are much better than ours in certain respects. While we have a big occipital lobe in our large brains to process visual information the butterfly does a superior job with brains that are mere specks two millimeters in size and which is able to process larger amounts of information coming from its more numerous photo-receptors. Scientists have no clue as to how they do it. Plants and amoeba go about their complex activities without having brains. The single-celled slime mould even solves mazes every time it is tested. Brains are made of cells but this single cell (slime mould) behaves as if it had a brain. Where is this intelligence and information processing power coming from? Many discoveries, scientific and artistic ideas come about when scientists or artists are not actively thinking about them. Where does this intelligence emanating from below our conscious radar come from?

It appears that as bodies evolve brains (in particular, the cortex) that become larger (in proportion to the body) the more the life-form gets cut-off from non-local universal intelligence and has to rely on local intelligence in the brains housed within their bodies. Human beings, in particular, have become increasingly estranged from universal intelligence. We create our own universes within our brains which compete with the universal brain for our conscious attention. The memories generated by our personal universes then get fed back into Earth's brain resulting in public apparitions such as the Marian apparitions, apparitions of UFOs and other apparitions.

The only times we reconnect with the universal brain is when certain persistent neural processes or circuits in our brains are intentionally (as in meditation or induced trances) or unintentionally (as in brain damage due to accidents or medical conditions) broken down or "switched off". The life-forms lower down the evolutionary chain (with no or tiny brains), however, may be using universal intelligence almost all the time.

Universal Brain and Cosmic Consciousness

The Earth appears to have a brain but how does it get sensory inputs? One way is to generate life-forms. The myriad of life-forms (including human beings) on Earth are in fact the many eyes and ears of the Earth. The networks of currents in the brains of life-forms are an integral part of the network of currents in Earth's brain. It is in the universe's interest to generate life-forms so that it can see, hear, taste, touch and smell and become aware of itself.

If we are indeed connected to the Earth's brain, which is connected to a universal brain, it also means that we share a universal brain which can have contact with the brains of other planets that nurture life-forms that generate their own memories. Intelligent life-forms can send information (either intentionally or unintentionally) via the universal brain directly to our brains.

ARE's Search For the Hall of Records

ccording to the Edgar Cayce readings, the people of Atlantis became aware of the fact that their civilization was about to be destroyed. As a result, they hid identical records of the Atlantean civilization in Bimini, in Egypt, and in the Yucatan. Numerous readings contend that this "Hall of Records" will be discovered, including:

(Q) Give in detail what the sealed room contains.

(A) A record of Atlantis from the beginnings of those periods when the Spirit took form or began the encasements in that land, and the developments of the peoples throughout their sojourn, with the record of the first destruction and the changes that took place in the land...This in position lies, as the sun rises from the waters, the line of the shadow (or light) falls between the paws of the Sphinx, that was later set as the sentiel or guard, and which may not be entered from the connecting chambers from the Sphinx's paw (right paw) until the time has been fulfilled when the changes must be active in the sphere of man's experience.

Between, then, the Sphinx and the river. (378-16)

How Were The Pyramid Stones Moved?

Edgar Cayce stated the force used to move the pyramid stones into place would be discovered in 1958. New evidence shows he may have been right.

Many people have speculated about how the ancients were able to move gigantic stones to erect pyramids with such apparent ease. Ideas have ranged from alien technology to telekinetic power to complex systems of levers. On November 12, 1933, Cayce was asked, "By what power or powers were these early pyramids and temples constructed?" (5750-1)

He replied, "By the lifting forces of those gases that are being used gradually in the present civilization, and by the fine work or activities of those versed in that pertaining to the source from which all power comes."

On June 23, 2001, a small group of researchers from Caltech raised a 15-foot, 6,900-pound obelisk into a stable, vertical position in the Mohave Desert in just twenty-five seconds. They used only what was initially described as a "kite," a pulley system, and a wooden support frame. The kite was actually a modified ascending parachute made of nylon. The researchers are now preparing to demonstrate how the 300-ton Egyptian obelisks could have been raised the same way and are negotiating with Egyptian authorities.

More To Come!

Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. has teams in Egypt, Bimini, and Yucatan looking for Cayce's "Hall of Records" and our members will be the first to receive news on our progress through the Ancient Mysteries newsletter and the special members' only login on our Web site at EdgarCayce.org.

Edgar Cayce and Future Prophecies

Edgar Cayce is well known as the biggest psychic of the twentieth century and has even been featured on TV programs with the likes of Nostradamus and such - The Other Nostradamus on the History channel. The amazing thing is his prophecies are more exact and are still coming true - and they were all done while Edgar Cayce was asleep!

Yes, many prophecies from Nostradamus to Sylvia Brown tell of forthcoming doom - earthquakes, fire from the skies, the second coming of Jesus, the Revelations coming true, etc... And yes Edgar Cayce does hint at some of these things coming true - A major earthquake in Japan where half or more of Japan falls into the sea, a restructuring of our continent, NYC under water or destroyed in some fashion, etc... But he also, in many of his readings tells of a more gradual change - a new birth for our world. A world with stronger religious ties and a global unified family.

According to Cayce, Jesus second coming will be spiritual with a reawakening of religion and unity. He relates the coming changes that are necessary prior to this unified world to mankinds wanton use and disregard of natures resources. We determine our future through our past actions and our past is full of pollution and no future planning (like the oil situation - we have been warned of oil and gas crisis many times yet we continue to drive bigger vehicles and become more dependent on volatile countries like Iran and Iraq for our oil and natural gas). The coming disasters are instep with our past actions - releasing CFC's into the environment for years has created a large hole in the ozone which is altering our climate. Our increased emissions are also further destroying our environment.

Cayce in his readings states that there were previous civilizations on Earth - Atlantis and others that there are records for so we could learn from their mistakes which are probably similar to our own. He hints that these records are in the Sphinx and off the Bimini coast. One must wonder why the Egyptian government has stopped all expeditions and research around the Sphinx - are they afraid of what they might find - Edgar Cayca has been right on everything so far. What is amazing is that Edgar Cayce hypnotized himself and did these readings in his sleep with dozens of witnesses. How could he make up his readings - and there are over 14,000 of them.

What we need to take from this is that we have the power to change the future. We can already take steps to conserve energy, better our selves, become self sufficient and less dependent on others, help others that are less fortunate - basically improving our world. This will happen, regardless, possibly in our time, how drastic the changes are is up to us. We caused the middle east crisis as we have become ever so dependent on oil. According to Cayce we can each take a role in making this transitional period less turbulent and that maybe if this occurs humanity may survive into this next, more spiritual age, unlike with previous civilizations.

Conference Explores the 2012 Prophecies and "End of Age" Theories

Will December 21, 2012 mark the end of the world, or the beginning of a new age of enlightenment? As we move closer to the date, interest in this date grows strong, with many books and videos exploring the possibilities. 2012 enthusiasts may supplement their knowledge of this coming event at an upcoming conference to be held at the Association For Research and Enlightenment.

"2012: Mayan Date of Destiny" explores all the myths and facts of December 21, 2012, the last date on the ancient Mayan calendar. This three-day conference will be held from July 18 - 20, 2008 at the A.R.E. Visitors Center in Virginia Beach. The Association For Research and Enlightenment, founded in 1931 by Edgar Cayce, serves to educate people on various transpersonal topics, including ancient prophecy, dream interpretation, psychic development, and reincarnation.

Scholars and theorists alike have argued the significance of the 2012 date. Whether 12/21/12 signifies the end of the world or the beginning of a new one, it is agreed the date holds some significance in global society. This conference intends to touch upon the history of the Mayan calendar and the ancient civilization's relationship to our society, as well as how recent developments in climate change (earthquakes, tsunamis, global warming), may have an effect on this coming day.

Guest speakers at this conference include bestselling author Whitley Strieber, 2012 experts Adrian Gilbert and Geoff Stray, television host Mitch Battros, and Mayan elder Don Carlos Barrios. Continuing education credit hours are available for attending this conference. Registration fees begin at $425 and include access to all programs on an extra schedule. For an added fee, participants may experience a post-conference Mayan Sacred Fire Ceremony led by Don Carlos Barrios.

The Mayan Calendar: Its Cosmic Significance

The Cosmic significance of the Mayan Calendar has been revealed. You can discover, as I have, the incredible prophetic wisdom contained within the patterns of history.

How expansive our world view would become if we knew even to a small degree what these ancient peoples knew. They celebrated every day of their life because of what they knew of the ever evolving Divine cycles of creation. There was no polarity between science and spirituality. All aspects and intentions of the Divine plan of creation were recorded on their calendar stones as a count of days. All life was measured in its entirety, past, present, future were part of a sacred “Oneness,” part of the continuing of a great cycle that one day would come to completion.

According to their Tun calendar there are nine cycles of creation, Carl Calleman calls them underworlds in his book, “The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness,” beginning with the “Big Bang” and ending in 2012.Within each cycle, creation has been accelerating and as we find ourselves now in the 8th cycle, we are provided with even more tools to light our way as our consciousness continues to evolve. For many of us, our lives have been touched with a profound sense of awe at the wonders of our world. We’ve been guided to accept nothing less than what we know in our hearts to be the truth.

We have seen the power of our own thoughts manifesting all that’s good, and pure and beneficial. We have experienced the joy that comes from gratitude and how that can heal and make whole whatever trauma we’ve had in the past or may find ourselves in right now. To be aware there is a Divine plan gives us the amazing grace found in all the lessons of life. It fills us with infinite peace and patience. We are not victims in this life but participants with choices at every turn. We spend our energy wisely or unwisely based on those decisions—depending on “what we choose to pay attention to.”

View Divine Influences in Your Life

Besides the Tun (Prophetic) Calendar of the Maya they celebrated creation everyday with the sacred Tzolkin (Personal) calendar. Because of the codex provided by the work of Ian Lungold we too can celebrate the Divine flow of creation. By using this calendar as a daily guide you will begin to understand the value found in viewing your life from a higher perspective. You will learn how to access what many of us consider as negative energies, and see them in a whole new light. Sometimes after learning something new we have problems applying it, but that’s all part of the evolving consciousness. Insight, intention, intuition, and integrity hallmark this 8th cycle of Creation and prepare us for the bliss of the 9th cycle. That is when we actually become conscious co-creators of our own experience. A few have mastered it all ready. They have much to teach us about our own resistance to move out of the box, and into an ever expanding realm of possibilities and limitless abundance from the source of all there is, were, and will be.

Quoting one of the most gifted woman of our time, Oprah Winfrey, “The more you praise and celebrate your life; the more there is in life to celebrate.” Come celebrate with me “Time” the way the Maya viewed it. Learn you can sore on the wings of eagles and witness the extinction of all that doesn’t bear the fruits of brotherly love and peace.

Recognize Cosmic Patterns as They Occur

The Mayan Calendar is the most “Timely” of topics because this Divine cycle of Creation is coming to a close in 2012, only 6 years from now. The significance of this is, for the first time in the history of our planet we can see where we’re headed. We don’t know exactly what it is going to look like but we can recognize the patterns of the Divine Creator written even into our own daily lives. With this Daily Guide you can become familiar with the aspects and intentions of Creation and as you become attuned to these energies witness the cosmic flow in your own life. It is really a matter of entrainment and it really works It’s an incredible journey, a journey that has transformed my own life.

Karen Majorowski – Discover the cosmic significance of the Mayan Calendar in your life. The Mayan Count of Days Daily Guide matches the modern calendar to that used by the ancient Maya. Lets you spot your own divine patterns day by day. Useful information at http://www.mayancountofdays.com 720-317-5962

Art of deception: Crystal skulls in British, US museums were fakes

Less than three months after the Quai Branly Museum in Paris discovered that a crystal skull once proclaimed as a mystical Aztec masterpiece was a fake, it is now the turn of the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution to find they were victims of skull-duggery.

Scientists from those two prestigious institutions on Wednesday said their crystal skulls were cut, honed and polished by tools of the industrial age, not by Mesoamerican craftsmen of yore.

"The skulls under consideration are not pre-Columbian. They must surely be regarded as of relatively modern manufacture," they say.

"Each skull was probably worked not more than a decade before it was first offered for sale."

The skulls became star exhibits in all three museums long before the Indiana Jones movie, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," hit the movie screens this year.

The superstitious deemed them part of a collection of 12 skulls, endowed with healing or mystical powers, that dated back to the ancient culture of Central America.

Reuniting all 12 skulls, together with a putative 13th, would conjure up a massive power that would prevent the Earth from tipping over on December 21 2012, the "doomsday" in the Mayan calendar, according to one fable.

Legend-lovers had a bad day on April 18 when the Quai Branly said it had found grooves and perforations in its 11-centimetre (4.4-inch) -high quartz skull revealing the use of "jewellery burrs and other modern tools."

Doubts had also surfaced about the skulls in London and Washington, with art experts noting they were unusually large and with teeth markings that were exceptionally linear.

Seeking the verdict of science, researchers from those two museums examined the skulls with electron microscopes, looking at tiny scratches and marks left by the carving implements.

These were then compared with the surfaces of a crystal goblet, rock crystal beads and dozens of greenstone jewels known to be of genuine Aztec or Mixtec origin.

The study appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, published by the Elsevier group.

The skull in the British Museum, purchased in 1897, is made of transparent rock crystal and is 15 centimetres (six inches) high. The Smithsonian skull, acquired by the museum in 1992, is of white quartz and measures 25.5 cms (10 inches) in height.

The investigators found that rotary wheels gave the British skull its sharp definition, a drill had dug out the nostrils and eyes, and diamond or corondum had been applied with iron or steel tools to smooth its upper surfaces.

As for the US skull, "faint traces" of tool marks remain, but these too are consistent with rotary wheels or grinding pads, the authors say.

No evidence has ever been found that rotary wheels were used to cut stones in Central America before the arrival of Europeans.

The investigators also found a black-and-red deposit in a tiny cavity of the Smithsonian skull. X-ray diffraction showed it to be silicon carbide -- a tough compound that only exists naturally in meteorites but is widespread in modern industrial abrasives.

Tiny irregularities in the quartz suggest the mineral for the London skull came from the European Alps, Brazil or Madagascar, while the quartz for the Washington skull had "many potential sources," including Mexico and the United States.

The sleuths pored over the archives of both museums, the Museum of Mankind in Paris, the French National Library, the Hispanic Society of America and newspaper records in a bid to find where the skulls came from.

The only documentation existing for the Smithsonian skull indicates it had been purchased in Mexico City in 1960. The scientists believe the skull was "probably manufactured shortly before it was purchased" there.

As for the British Museum and Quai Branly skulls, the paper trail leads to a French antiques collector by the name of Eugene Boban Duverge.

Boban had a shop in Mexico City and parlayed his way to the salons of Paris thanks to the 1863-67 "French Intervention," when troops of France's Second Empire invaded Mexico.

He built up a collection of 2,000 pre-Columbian artefacts, the biggest in Europe at the time. It included several crystal skulls, including the newly-unmasked fakes in London and Paris.

The skull that would eventually be bought by the British Museum was acquired by Boban between 1878 and 1881, possibly in Europe, the study says. In 1885, he tried to sell it to the National Museum of Mexico, but was turned down.

A year later, Boban sold it an auction to the New York jeweller's Tiffany's.

Two years later, Tiffany's sold the skull to a Californian businessman who nearly a decade later went bust and asked the jeweller to hunt for a new buyer.

So it was that Tiffany's vice president, George Kunz, made a pitch to the British Museum.

He recommended the purchase of "this remarkable object," sketched a past of colourful ownership, beginning with a Spanish soldier who had brought it back from Mexico, and quoting the opinion of others that the skull was of ancient Mexican origin but no-one knew for sure.

The rest, as they say, belongs to history... and human gullibility.

Will The People Of America Be Taking Back Their Power? Predictions for 2008

I just can't help but ask about the future. Everyone seems to be interested in it. I guess it's hardwired into human nature to want to know what is coming down the line. Although I now understand that we have a very great ability to influence the future, I still look around online for any new predictions to check out.

I'm not a psychic, but I have been working with one for many years. Usually I don't ask Marjorie (or actually Kwan Yin, as channeled through her) about predictions, but about how she would describe the energy of the near future. I don't even ask about the far future because there are so many variables that things can change radically.

For instance, If anyone has been following Edgar Cayce predictions from his time in the 1930s, you will see that he got a lot of things right in the short term, but as for the radical earth changes that were supposed to occur in the 90s and 2000, well, they just never happened. This goes for Nostradamus and many others. This just goes to show how we can affect the future through our actions. Just remember this though: these things they talked about may still yet occur, but in a different time frame and in less severity.

When I was asking questions back in 2000, Kwan Yin started counting down the years to 2012, giving a few words for each year. Unfortunately, I could not include it in the book, as she asked me not to for her own reasons, and I always respect the Ascended Masters wishes (or anyone's wishes for privacy).

When she got to 2008, she said there would be a "big mess." At that time, it seemed so far away that I just let it go. About a couple of years ago, I asked about it again and she said it had to do with political problems. I still didn't follow that up. I just figured there were always some type political maneuverings going on.

Then, just recently, I wanted to make a CD of questions and answer sessions, and I brought it up again because we are so close. The first thing she said was that at the end of 2007, she would liken the energy to a thunderstorm coming in, where some people see it as refreshing and cleansing, whereas others will be very afraid.

Then we got to 2008. I asked her if this was the year that had been foreseen by others where there would be a US presidential election and neither candidate could be declared the winner and it would cause a lot of problems? She said that this event has already past (I am assuming she means the 2000 election of Bush/Gore and all the craziness that ensued).

So if this is not the "big mess" she was referring to so long ago, what is it? Evidently, she foresees that people will start to become very discontent with the way things are being managed. I mean very discontent. She said that people will realize that they have given their power away and they will want it back. Some will just be angry at the way things are and the limited choice. Some will loudly fight to get back what they have lost, and some will just withdraw and seek a different lifestyle or group of people that reflects their desire to live simply, peacefully and more authentically, taking on more responsibility for their life so that they can have more freedom. This last group of dissenters she mentioned will be growing and growing in numbers. She says there will be a lot of these folks just dropping out of the system.

One other thing came up unintentionally as well. She said that part of the dissatisfaction of freedom was linked to the feeling that we could not move about freely because of the price of gas. Therefore, she says that there may be a war over oil. When I probed a little further, saying that this seems like it is already happening in many places, she said it could be very "out loud." This is verbal shorthand for 'this will be big enough to get people's attention and will involve weapons.'

In the time leading up to 2012 (a very potent point in time of radical energetic shifts), the world is experiencing a series of rapidfire evolutionary jumps compressed into decades, then compressed again into years. I believe that 2008-2010 will bring unprecedented change at breakneck speed, and then speed up again from 2010-2012.

Yet with all the change and complexity, Kwan Yin councils as she always has: live simply; simplify your life. Live close to the earth, to nature, and take time to meditate. As we feel like time is eluding us and we get behind on all that we feel we need to do, she asks us to do less, not more.

In doing this, we connect with ourselves and with God in a way that will bring us into a new life, a life where what we need in the moment is freely given and details and plans are not really necessary. As we do this, we leave space for the entrance of Spirit into our lives, co-creating a beautiful existence full of synchronicity, love and peace. And that is the future that I want. Hopefully, we will all be there together.

Horrors of Planet X

Planet X is real ... such celestial objects referred to as a Dark Star ... are Core-like Planets similar to this Earth ....the heat generated from the core of such a Dark Star ..makes a planet visible in this manner .... Another name Planet X has been referred to is the New Earth ....as Planet X sets in it's fold of space ... it sets in it's own reality ... a reality which is out of sync or out of frequency harmony to any outside their protective fold of space ....again I say ... if the planet orbit takes it close enough to Earth ... the very force generated by it's passing .... Could push Earth out of it's place .... This is just one aspect of all things coming together during this era of ending times .... Earth's inner core is transforming ...

The design and creation of Earth's core was and is more than just a random creation of nature. From the beginning Earth's core was purposed for a specific celestial function, and has now begin a timely predestined shift of it's mantle plates in the 'at first' gradual return back to it's original function. Such regressing changes are those which has off-sit increasing earthquakes, rising surface temperature, and increasing temperature changes in ocean and sea floors which will continue heating up until all such waters reach boiling degrees and began to evaporate. BUT THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING !. The mantled core will return to such a heated state until the very surface and crust of Earth's surface will peel away from the core as one would peal off the hull of an orange and cast it into space. The Core of this Planet will become once again a temporary supper-heated source similar to that which scientist knew had to exist, but didn't understand where it came from, or what it actually was that cause the accumulation of cosmic element unto the combustion of that big bang. This in a much much smaller since makes our solar system ground zero for a very special work which will soon take place, the Core will not be working alone.

Ban All Religions in 2012

Have you ever stopped to consider during this huge controversy over the Catholic Church and the Da Vinci Code Movie that maybe we just need to ban all religions? Starting with whatever religion that the International Terrorists are and even the Catholic Church its self?

I mean they have kind of blown it with this latest round of child molestations and they are known for playing both sides against the middle in previous wars. In fact with all the stolen art you have to wonder if that tactic did not serve them well, too well?

If we consider these International Terrorists who obviously are a very problematic group as they go around killing as many innocent people as possible under the name of their god and religion one has to wonder if perhaps the religion is the problem along with all those Clerics who rather enjoy their sense of power. And any religious leader who calls for beheadings or Jihad Holy War because someone some 4000 miles away drew a nasty cartoon is simply out there anyway?

So lets just ban all human religions and let people worship on their own or get together if they feel so inclined. What if we simply banned all religions in the present period and had them all gone by 2012? Consider this in 2006.

The Questions of Unreal Reality

What is real? What is 'reality'? Do we all see the same realities? Or do we each construct our own personal experience - our own interpretation of reality? Is there another way of looking at things? What is the sense of 'truth', which we all know but is so hard to find? What do I, you, we want...really- A better lifestyle, more things, more money, more time, higher status, recognition ? Or through such circumstances to feel more content, more at peace, more at ease? Is this money, this fame, these riches distracting people from knowing the truth.

In Hinduism, it is believed that the world is an illusion - Maya. They believe that "God is capital Truth", and only God is real (Janamanchi). And thus the story of one man came to be. There once lived a being that came up to God, and declared his idolatry to him. He said, "I think of you every second, every minute, every waking hour of the day. I worship you. I pray to you. I am with you". To this God said, "Let us take a walk". After walking for some time, God said, "My throat hurts, will you please find me some water"? To this, the man replied, "Of course, I will do anything for you", and he set off to find a well. Well, he stumbled upon one soon enough, and as he was having trouble getting water, he saw a beautiful lady approaching him. He asked for her help, all the while falling for her; for her beauty and compassion. They married at once, had a family with children, and became wealthy plantation owners. All was well for the man, yet through all these valuables, he began forgetting what really mattered. His own ego and the tempters in the everyday "world" pulled him away.

One tragic day, a sudden flash flood swept through the village where he and his family lived. Everyone died except for the man. He was in terrible anguish, and he cried for help from the God, screaming, "Where are you"? The God replied, "Where is my water"?
And everything disappeared - everything. Why so? Because Hindus believe that everything around us is an illusion. The only thing real...is God; which is precisely why only God did not disappear that moment. They were once again walking, for the God wanted the man to see something. They walked, again, for some time, when the God said, "See over there, that scanty, poor beggar? He owns a small strip of land, a farm if you cold call it that, his children are starving, and his wife relentlessly sick, yet he never forgets, in the end, to think of me all the time, to watch for me, to pray to me; he never loses touch with reality, with me. When I see someone like that, I believe that they (he) are with me. And so, as the story tells, we shall unremittingly question, "What, or whom, around us is real"?

Metaphysics is the foundation of philosophy. It is responsible for the study of existence. It answers the question "What is?" It encompasses everything that exists, as well as the nature of existence itself. It considers whether the world is real, or merely an illusion. Without an explanation or an interpretation of the world around us, we would be helpless to deal with reality. We could not live life, or act to preserve our lives. The degree to which our metaphysical worldview is correct is the degree to which we are able to comprehend the world, to understand, and to act accordingly. Without this firm foundation, all knowledge becomes suspect. Any flaw in our view of reality will make it more difficult to live. Any unanswerable question will deny us the morality to strive, in life, for anything. We would be hopeless, helpless and depend on lies.

The effect of living in lies can be hazardous to our lives, the answers need to be searched. For more:

Lubantuum, Site of Crystal Skull Discovery

My original purpose for going to Belize was to visit Lubantuum, the pyramid where Helen Mitchell-Hedges crawled deep inside and allegedly found a crystal skull in 1924 when she was 16 years old.

The Lubantuum pyramid lies in ruin, midway between Dangriga and Punta Gorda, reachable only by negotiating a quarter mile cow path that leads up from a dirt road, it is being slowly restored, but much work still needs to be done.

Her father was exploring British Honduras (now Belize) looking for evidence of the legendary Atlantis. Her account of the discovery states that she was the only one small enough to climb into the small entrance of the pyramid where the skull was found.

Thirteen of the crystal skulls have been found in parts of Central America, Mexico, and South America. The skulls are believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old and many people claim they hold healing and magical properties, however no one really knows where they came from or how they were made.

The skulls have been found near ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins, with some evidence linking them to ancient civilizations of Peru.

The Mitchell-Hedges skull is the most famous as it resembles a human skull and remarkably, has a removable jaw bone.

It is flawless in it's design, being made of highly polished crystal, it is so perfect that the most advanced sculptures and engineers of the day have no idea how it could have been made without it either shattering or falling apart during construction.

Crystal Skulls - Magical and Mystical Source of Intrigue

With the 2008 release of the new Indian Jones movie hitting the screens, there has been renewed interest in the subject of crystal skulls. Skulls represent humanity's foremost symbol of death and they are powerful icons to cultures all over the globe. There have been many replicas of human skulls that have been polished out of a single crystal of quartz rock. Some are ancient, some classified as "old" and others are more contemporary. A few have been made from pure quartz and are absolutely clear while a rare few are also life-sized. Some are milky in color, at least one is of rose quartz and still another is amethyst. Thirteen crystal skulls of apparently ancient origin have been found in parts of Mexico, Central America and South America, comprising one of the most fascinating subjects of 20th Century archeology.

The most widely celebrated and mysterious of these crystal skulls is the Mitchell-Hedges Skull, the manufacture of which is quite remarkable.

The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull

It is very similar in form to an actual human skull, even featuring a fitted removable jawbone. Most other known crystal skulls are of a more stylized structure, often with unrealistic features and teeth that are simply etched onto a single skull piece. Interestingly, it is impossible to say how the Mitchell-Hedges skull was constructed. From a technical standpoint, it appears to be an impossible object by which today's most talented sculptors and engineers would be unable to duplicate.

The Mitchell-Hedges skull is made of clear quartz crystal, and both cranium and mandible are believed to have come from the same solid block. It weighs 11.7 pounds and is about five inches high, five inches wide, and seven inches long. Except for slight anomalies in the temples and cheekbones, it is a virtually anatomically correct replica of a human skull. Because of its small size and other characteristics, it is thought more closely to resemble a female skull -- and this has led some to refer to the Mitchell-Hedges skull as a "she."

In 1970, the Mitchell-Hedges family lent the skull to Hewlett-Packard Laboratories for extensive study. Art restorer Frank Dorland oversaw the testing at the company's California computer equipment plant, a leading facility for crystal research. The HP examinations yielded some startling results. Researchers found that the skull had been carved against the natural axis of the crystal. Modern crystal sculptors always take into account the axis, or orientation of the crystal's molecular symmetry, because if they carve "against the grain," the piece is bound to shatter -- even with the use of lasers and other high-tech cutting methods.

To compound the strangeness, HP could find no microscopic scratches on the crystal that would indicate it had been carved with metal instruments. Dorland's best hypothesis for the skull's construction is that it was roughly hewn out with diamonds, and then the detail work was meticulously done with a gentle solution of silicon sand and water. The exhausting job -- assuming it could have been done this way -- would have required man-hours adding up to 300 years to complete.

Under these circumstances, experts believe that successfully crafting a shape as complex as the Mitchell-Hedges skull is impossible; as one HP researcher is said to have remarked, "The damned thing simply shouldn't be."

Mr. Mitchell-Hedges had always indicated that he had found the skull in an ancient temple in British Honduras, though he seemed very reluctant to reveal the details, writing: "How it came into my possession I have reason for not revealing."

Anna Mitchell-Hedges, his adopted daughter, claimed that it was she who discovered the skull on her 17th birthday in 1924 while with her father in British Honduras. She found the skull; missing the jaw, under an ancient alter. Three months later she found the jaw in the same room.

The regal Mitchell-Hedges skull is not without scandalous accusations of fraud. Some believe that F.A. Mitchell-Hedges had the piece commissioned by a sculptor, and planted it in the Lubaantun ruins for his daughter to find as a spectacular birthday present.

The validity of this charge is uncertain, but even if the Mitchell-Hedges skull is of modern origin, its structure is no less extraordinary. In all likelihood, every crystal skull in the world was fashioned by plain old human beings of some sort, and regardless of whether the work was carried out five years ago or five hundred years ago, we still don't have any idea how they did it.
