QUESTIONABLE GOINGS ON

This time readers found plenty to complain about, polititions, revisionists, the ignorant and even Atlantis Rising.

PARANORMAL POSSIBILITIES

Many thanks for Paranormal Paratrooper with David Morehouse. Having lived in Maryland for many years, I've not been able to miss the large NSA/Ft. Meade complex with their big iron fences and black helicopters parked out back. Rarely though do you ever hear publicly of anything that goes on there. Morehouses book Psychic Warrior offers a glimpse of some of the goings on.

I'd heard of the government involvement with remote viewing before, first in Howard Blum's 1990 book Out There, but that was in general terms. Then in 1993, heard an ex-Army Sergeant (I don't recall his name) talk about remote influencing work at an expo in Los Angeles. the Sergeant said then that he had quit the Army program at Ft. Meade for moral reasons, he just couldn't sleep at night after doing his job of trying to get into the head of Mikhail Gorbechev at a distance. It all sounded so far out then that I didn't know what to believe. However Morehouse's book confirms what the Sergeant had said.

Mr. Morehouse indicates that remote viewing was work that was started by the Russians in the 60's, but the book Unholy Alliance reports that the Nazis were very involved in the occult and used it to their own ends, at one point they even had an astrologer rewrite Nostradamus prophecies to say that the Nazis would win. German Ludwig Straniak demonstrated to the Nazis that he could pinpoint the battleship Bismarck's location using a pendulum. Unholy Alliance also reveals that the Nazis successfully used psychics to locate Mussolini in 1943 after he had been arrested and hidden on the island of Ponza.

When the truth be told, I wonder just how extensive the psychic warfare is in regards to the powder keg world we presently live in? It is becoming clear that those with a spiritual orientation cannot ignore the psychic warfare that is going on under our noses.

WHO WAS THE TWIN?

According to (Paul) Roberts (Following the Path of the Wise Men) Jesus probably had a twin brother, Thomas, and that it was he who was crucified rather than Jesus...

Over ten years ago, I too considered Thomas, the twin of Jesus. But I have found that the identical twin of Jesus was a different disciple.

The Edgar Cayce readings tend to show that Jesus was taught by the Essenes until he was 14 years old or so of age. Then Jesus studied in India, Persia and Egypt. In order for many of the major religions of the world to be correlated to the Hebrew religion with its extensive library, there was an identical who studied and became a Pharisee sage (at a later time sage became rabbi).

The identical twin who died on the cross knew enough of the law that he named the young man (Mark 14:51-52) as the person that delivered him to the guards of the Sadducees, to be killed so that Jesus would live.

Exodus 22: 22 Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

If a person killed a son of a widow, then the killer could be required to support the widow as her son.

John 19: 26 When Jesus, therefore, saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son'!

John 19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother'! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

The Edgar Cayce readings state several times that the disciple John was the wealthiest of the disciples.

John had delivered his supposed older brother James to die on the cross. The supposed elder brother James did not inherit the fish business and homes of Zebedee, because James was the identical twin also know among the Pharisees as Judas Iscariot.

BATTLE OF THE SKULLS

You may have discovered by now, through the grace of some other Crystal Skull Watcher that the photo of the Mitchell-Hedges Skull (courtesy of Joseph Jochmans) was not the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull at all. The cheekbones are much too squared off, the eye sockets too rounded, and the jaws and teeth are not as naturally carved as the Mitchell-Hedges Skull, which I might add, is the most accurately carved representation of a human skull of all the known larger Crystal Skulls.

The Mitchell Hedges Skull is on its last trip through this country as its keeper, Anna Mitchell-Hedges, daughter of its discoverer, F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, is moving back to England. As you may imagine, it's going with her...

I spoke with Anna about her reasons for not attending the testing conference that Charles Pelton mentioned in his article. By alluding to her refusal to attend. Through this innuendo, he made it appear as though Anna might be trying to hide something. The fact of the matter is, and I think Pelton knew it, that there was a conflict in Anna's schedule and in addition, she declared the skull had been tested enough, it having spent six years with Frank Dorland and some months at the Hewlett Packard labs where it was discovered after which they returned it without mention that one of its teeth had been chipped. It had already been shown that the skull was authentic according to the experts. What more could be asked? The only other way to age-date crystal is to smash it to bits and check the age of the water in the occlusions and even then, only the age of the crystal might be determined, not when it was carved. That seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face, I think. All much ado about a Pelton/Nocerino agenda to promote Max and the itinerant Tibetan monk over the other skulls and their keepers. The only clear competition in this is the Mitchell-Hedges skull. Because of its overall anatomical accuracy and the superb rendering of it from a whole crystal, it will always be shrouded in mystery. Sigh. The great Battle of the Skulls goes on. I just don't like innuendoes and misleading information.

I think now it (the skull picture from issue #10) may have been a photo of the British Museum Skull.

THE FLYING ANCIENTS

My comments relate to the 1896-97 airship flap in California.

I checked with both Encyclopedia Britannica and World Book Encyclopedia current editions. Lighter than air airships go back to 1852. It is true that listed development is only in Europe for the period. But a searchlight on a craft of the same shape as a dirigible or a blimp traveling slowly, probably was a blimp or a dirigible.

Airships were powered by electricity, steam, hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines, gasoline and diesel engines. Other ideas might even have been tried. Some would have been very quiet engines. Top speed for airships was 80 miles per hour. They could stay aloft for days.

Originally airships used hydrogen to stay up. The United States changed to using helium, which was safer. Helium was considered a military advantage and we did not let Germany have any helium.

What was seen might have been development by private individuals or the government in secret. To believe it was a lighter than air experimental airship is the easiest explanation for the data. Your B2 article in the same issue is along the same lines.

SHIFTING POLE

There are many predictions for the new millennium of 2000 AD, telling of pole shifts and wanderings, among other phenomena. My own measured observations show that at the winter solstice of 1995, the sun did not track as far south as in 1994, a difference of 2 degrees to the north. At the winter solstice of 1996, the sun again did not track as far south as in 1995, a difference of 2 degrees to the north. This gives a northward trend of 4 degrees in the last two years.

Now, the sun is not moving, we are. This change, if it continues, will create weather changes. It is exciting to be experiencing the predictions. What's next?

Regarding the pattern described by survivor Lynnclaire Dennis on page 15 of Volume 10, do you think it could be a pattern of the way the earth might shift as a result of some future calamity (e.g., pole shift, asteroid collision, earth warming, icecap melt)?

LIGHT LADDERS

What many are now seeking, of course, has been available since the human body, with its ladders of light/sound centers, was first created. The answer, as our Hopi friends say, lies in stepping off the earth ladder (lower centers below the single eye) onto the spiritual ladder (higher centers in the head) which is accomplished with the loving help of a perfect master (not an avatar or a prophet or a rishi, or an adept, etc.) who is a direct representative of the true creator (of soul, not mind). This is the way set up by the Formless, the Nameless. The trick is to discover the difference between one from the real and one from the projection.

NO TABLOIDISM HERE

I am interested in real science and the unusual or extraordinary pyramids, Atlantis, E.T.s and on and on so long as the source doesn't descend into redundancy and tabloidism. So far you have avoided that pitfall, and I know it is hard to do. A lot of good info, even good stuff, is sketchy at best sometimes, but you guys have been able to continue with style and genuine professionalism. Thanx.

I'm looking forward to reading on with Atlantis Rising.
