n mid October 2010, as a worldwide audience of over a billion watched in fascination,
33 miners, after spending a record 68 and 69 days trapped in the darkness, were rescued
from the ruins of a collapsed mine almost half a mile beneath the desolate Acapana
desert of Chile. The operation went off without a hitch and the triumphant result was
hailed everywhere as one of the most inspiring stories in memory. In fact, the saga of Chile’s
rescued miners seemed virtually miraculous to all, prompting some to speculate that higher
powers must have intervened.
Indeed, for all but the most cynical, the case for cosmic design was hard to resist. And for
those who believe that the universe speaks to us in the language of archetypes, there seemed
plenty of room for excitement.
Here you had innocent miners, trapped in the darkness of the underworld heroically re-
deemed by representatives from the higher realms of light, restored to life—resurrected—
after passage through a long dark tunnel something like a birth canal to be—in a sense, re-
born. Factor in that there were 33 miners, harkening to the masonic notion of initiation pre-
ceding and including crucifixion and resurrection. The universal hero, or Christ, in each of
us, it has been said by mystics, ascends the “33 steps” of the spinal ladder to the “place of the
Skull” where the “Christ is crucified between the two thieves of the anterior and posterior
lobes” of the brain (today we make that left and right hemispheres).
The universal tale of the hero’s journey, writer Joseph Campbell believed, is the story of us

adventure of life, filled with trials as well as wonder and discovery; and it leads us toward the
light along an ancient yet narrow and obscure pathway. The solitary journey is carried out
again and again in history’s slow march to the future, and without it there would be no
progress and no hope for the larger tribe of humanity.

War Time UFOs
(Re: “Did Churchill Order UFO Coverup,”
A.R. #84)
Back in the fall of ’52, NATO forces from
several countries held Army, Navy, and Air-
Force exercises in the North Sea, code
named Mainbrace.
At that time, I was stationed at RNAS Los-
siemouth, on the Moray Firth in the north
east of Scotland. As we were standing down
one evening, there was a great deal of excite-
ment. Men were rushing to gain a better
view across the airfield toward the little town
of Lossiemouth just down the coast toward
the east.
Two oppos and I climbed onto a grass
covered ammunition bunker to see what all
the fuss was about, and it immediately be-
came quite clear. Suspended in the clear
blue sky above the harbor were four, pale-
green oval discs of light in a diamond pat-
tern. They were perfectly still; there were no
appendages, no flashings of light, no port-
holes, nor any other remarkable feature, and
no sound. There were just these four, inex-
plicable, largish discs of light hovering over
the town, the bay, our airfield, and some
ships at sea. They could, perhaps, have been
described as eerie but were in no wise threat-
ening.
“Keep watching,” I told my mates, “I’m
going to get my camera,” and I dashed off to
do so. By the time I got back, the discs had
vanished, but everyone was still standing
around waiting to see what would happen
next. My friends told me that we had
launched fighter aircraft to investigate or
challenge the intruders, but even as they left
the runway, the “UFOs” simply disappeared.
It was a topic of conversation for a long
time afterwards. Hundreds of personnel on
our air station had seen them; plus thou-
sands of men from the fighting forces of var-
ious nations engaged in these exercises on
land, sea, and air. These were people trained
to observe, and we all got a good look.
There were other interesting events
during Mainbrace, including one of our air-
craft (a Meteor I think) being followed down
to the ground by a fireball. This was ex-
plained as being a ball of static, but we
frankly didn’t buy it. The official explanation
for the discs of light came down a week or so

later: It was that they were reflections from
the wet decks of fishing boats at sea. No need
to dignify that with any further comment,
but I still don’t know what those objects
were.

Danger Beneath
After reading the #84 A.R. article, “What
Lies Beneath,” in reference to the Gulf of
Mexico oil disaster—which is the Gulf’s
second hit in a five-year span—I am re-
minded of another scary issue pertaining to
the Gulf and environs from a History
Channel documentary regarding atomic
bombs—H-Bomb?—in the time frame ’55 -
’61.
A B-52 was clipped by a fighter jet (U.S.)
on a training mission, damaging its vertical
tail, wings, and engine. The “safed” bombs
were dropped in the Gulf area. Another H-
bomb was dropped near Goldsboro, N.C.,
into swampland, where it remains to this
day—the crash site is a restricted military
zone. Still another H-bomb landed in tree
branches and 5 of its 6 fuses failed. The sixth
fuse averted a nuclear explosion. Any A- or
H-bomb detonated in these areas would
cause a vast firestorm and radiation contami-
nation.
If all the above is true, why has the mili-
tary not, at least, removed the nuclear cores?
These are truly tragic disasters waiting to
happen like dominoes in a row.

Defying Darwin
Casey Luskin’s excellent article
(“Molecular Machines that Defy Darwin,”
A.R. #84) on irreducible complexity is typical
of the good work done by the Discovery Insti-
tute to counter the official religion of Dar-
winism. Actually, the evidence for intelligent
design is everywhere in the fossil record. The
“evolution” of flight is an example both of ir-
reducible complexity and the huge gaps in
the fossil record. Flight was “invented” by in-
sects, flying reptiles, birds, and bats. Al-
though gliding animals exist today, no fossil
gliders have been found to precede the flyers.
It is as if one day insects crawled, and the
next day they walked. No ancestor has been
found for flying reptiles or bats, and paleon-
tologists cannot agree whether birds
“evolved” from an early running dinosaur or
some common ancestor of birds and dino-
saurs. No gliding dinosaur has been discov-
ered.
Just as an airplane needs wings, control
surfaces, an engine, and a pilot to get off the
ground, a flying animal must have wings and
control surfaces, powerful flight muscles,
and a heart and lungs to sustain them, and
flight behavior. An insect with wings alone
would be at a disadvantage and, according to
the Darwinists themselves, would be ruth-
lessly weeded out by natural selection. A
flying reptile with the wings and the muscles
but no skill as a “pilot” would soon be dead.
And how could a bird fly without all of the
above plus the highly complex flight
feathers? It’s all or nothing.

Ancient Precision
“The Pursuit of Ancient Precision,” Arlan
Andrews’ story on Christopher Dunn’s inves-
tigation of technologies used in ancient
Egyptian stonework (A.R. #83, Sept/Oct
2010), led me to reflect on possible parallels
in other areas. Dunn’s demonstration that
the manufacturing and machining technolo-
gies of early Egypt go far beyond any previ-
ously thought to have been possessed by
early civilizations is incontrovertible. But his
revelation required formidable technological
expertise. If investigators with expertise in
other fields look closely, eye-opening discov-
eries might be made in those areas as well. I
will relate one such experience.
Sixteen years ago a colleague and I had a
paradigm-breaking experience while at-
tempting to understand “ojas,” a material
with a central role in the Ayurveda. Ayurveda

Continued from Page 7
(from “Ayus,” life or life span, and “Veda,”
knowledge or science; hence “knowledge of
life or life span”), is one of the many
branches of the Vedic tradition of India, a
continuous tradition of knowledge and cul-
ture that has been traced back 10,000 years.
In attempting to chemically identify ojas
based on clues in the classical Ayurvedic trea-
tises and on our knowledge as biochemists,
we indeed were able to pinpoint with consid-
erable certainty the biochemical identities of
the “principal” or “ordinary” ojas and of most
of the eight “superior” types of ojas. Our re-
search relied mainly on the English transla-
tions of the Sanskrit treatises.
Six Ayurvedic treatises, three major and
three minor, have survived to the present.
Their dates of origin are not known, but one
person considered a principal author appears
to have lived some 2,800 years ago. The con-
tents of the treatises were in all probability
passed down orally for eons before being re-
corded, as was done for the principal Vedas.
The Ayurvedic treatises describe the
symptoms, causes, and treatments of over a
thousand diseases, along with hundreds of
detailed surgical practices. Their emphasis,
however, is on preventive methods on the
levels of mind, body, behavior, and environ-
ment.
From statements about the qualities,
quantities, and functions of the different
forms of ojas in the treatises, we arrived at
uniquely suited biochemical identities. More-
over, some of the information in the treatises
was interpretable only in terms of the very
latest understanding of the functional links
between these biochemical substances and
various states of disease and health.
Discovering these links between ancient
and modern knowledge in the area of bio-
chemistry and health was for us, as for Dunn
in his work, a “paradigm seismic event.” Our
attitude toward ancient Vedic knowledge of
health and disease took a major leap forward
and continues to expand today. Our original
study was published (Indian Journal of Phys-
iology and Pharmacology 1995; vol 39, pp 3-
36), but advancing understanding may lead
to new publications.

Thoughts on the Big Bang
(Re: “Dark Matter’s Very Existence Ques-
tioned,” A.R. #83) Chaos was an ongoing pos-
sible everything and indeed preceded order.
But one aspect of chaos, the possibility of its
failure, rebelled against anarchy and decided
to rule. This was the seed of all duality,
which collapsed chaos into logic, which ex-
ploded as the Big Bang whereby duality con-
figured an order able to be ruled. But matter/
energy and antimatter/energy annihilation
fueled a bigger bang, Inflation, which would
leave no remainder, except that the ruler
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
used some antimatter/energy to push all
“unruly” possibilities beyond a barrier. Thus
was the ether sequestered and thus was the
remaining matter/energy a “usable” cosmos.
But the ruler wanted to top these explo-
sions with a coerced and controlled demise
in the space-time called devolution. So he
used magick to breach the ether barrier and
let out three dark ether effects: gravity, dark
matter/energy, and black holes. These would
ultimately “create” the Big Chill of acceler-
ating expansion.
So, ironically, order is a death sentence.
Nature is a food chain, and what “evolves” is
the trend towards extreme states. Except,
order itself is sentenced to thermodynami-
cally devolve, so its empires crumble. Ironi-
cally, the ruler is ruled, used as a necessary
tester of reality’s perfection. Because before
chaos was the plan that foresaw this universe
as the one everything worthy of eternity.
Most of this everything is mathematical
ether; most of the cosmos is dark matter en-
ergy; most of matter/energy is not alive; and
most of life has no soul. Thus soul is God’s
message to its rare faring vessel: The anti-
god is fated to fail; the cosmos is pro-
grammed to reach eternity; and soul will be
there to witness that success. Meanwhile, let
conscience be your guide.

Atlanteans Arise
Your journal is most interesting and in-
formative on the subject of our real ancient
and unacknowledged past history.
The article “Putting Atlantis in Its Place”
(A.R. #84) is fascinating and opens many
questions on the Atlanteans and their world.
The comment I would like to bring forward
is based on the idea that large numbers of
former Atlanteans are still on Earth, as rein-
carnated people, and many of us still have
vivid past-life memories that reappear in
dreams and via other mind routes.
I can myself remember Atlantean lives
over several million years of Earth time.
Their civilization was on several large islands
in the central Atlantic Ocean, where many
psychics, old Atlantean, and New Age Paleo-
archaeologists have placed the Atlantean na-
tion. Based on past-life memories they where
at least as advanced as we are today, in some
ways, technologically further along.
It would be a valuable contribution to
historical research if more former Atlanteans
could come forward with their stories of
their lives and times in Atlantis.

Entrance to Tomb of the Birds

HISTORY CHANNEL INVADES

LOST GIZA “CATACOMBS”
I n September History Channel viewers had
a chance to see the cave beneath Egypt’s
Giza plateau, rediscovered in 2008 by re-
searcher Andrew Collins, reported by Philip
Coppens in Atlantis Rising #80 (“The Un-
known Catacombs of Giza”), and discussed
again by Greg Little in #84 (“Hall of Records
COVERUP?”). In an episode of the archaeo-
logical series “Chasing Mummies” titled
“Bats,” viewers saw Egyptian Antiquities Di-
rector Zahi Hawass and a team of came-
ramen and explorers penetrate an estimated
350 feet into the cavern behind what Collins
has dubbed the “Tomb of the Birds,” osten-
sibly in an attempt to disprove what Hawass
called “pyramidiots.” It did anything but.
As Collins has explained in his book Be-
neath the Pyramids and on his web site (An-
drewCollins.com), the cave complex was
originally entered in 1817 by Italian explorer
Giovanni Caviglia—penetrating several hun-
dred yards—and again in 1837 by British
Col. Richard Howard. The entrance, in what
Collins now calls “The Tomb of the Birds,”
only a few hundred yards from the pyramids,
was located by him, his wife Sue, and ex-
plorer Nigel Skinner Simpson.
Later, when informed of the find by Col-
lins, Hawass showed little interest; but when
accompanied by the History Channel film
crew, while declaring his intention to de-
bunk the “pyramidiots,” he asked to take a
look, while expressing the view that the cave
would not reach very far. Viewers were able
then to follow the team into the cavern
where, fighting off swarms of bats, they ad-
vanced for over a hundred yards, much fur-
ther than Hawass had expected, but not, alas,
as far as the pyramids.
The cave exploration possibilities, how-
ever, Collins believes, have not been fully ex-
hausted, and he cites an image of the plateau
created by the German TerraSAR-X satellite
which could mark the extent, position, and
orientation of the caves explored in Giza’s
north cliff. “The caves’ presence,” says Col-
lins, “seems to be echoed by a shadow line
that has no corresponding feature on the
ground. More intriguing is the fact that this
shadow line connects with another that ex-
tends eastwards toward the Second Pyr-
amid.”
To date, though, Hawass has not, at least
publicly, expressed interest in re-confronting
any bats, either beneath Giza or in anyone’s
belfry.

The Search
for Parallel
Universes
Accelerates
W ill parallel universes soon have visi-
tors from our world? Hard to say,
but serious physicists at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland
hope that 2011 will be the year when the
frontier between science fiction and sci-
ence fact will be thoroughly breached, at
least in learning whether hidden worlds
and extra dimensions exist.
After some difficulties getting started
the giant atomic accelerator is now rou-
tinely hosting many millions of collisions
between high energy particles every
second. The energy released by those
events are expected to tell physicists a
great deal about the “big bang,” believed
to be the origination point of the universe.
Also hoped is that the so-called “God
particle,” alias “the Higgs Boson,” will
soon manifest. The risk that the LHC
could create a black hole capable of col-
lapsing the world as we know it doesn’t
seem to be causing much concern these
days, and, after all, if that happens who of
us will be around to complain about it,
unless, of course, we find ourselves in
some parallel universe. But if that hap-
pens, all bets are off. Or should that
be...on? We’ll have to get back to you on
that, or maybe not.

NEXUS STOPS PUBLISHING IN AMERICA

I n major chain bookstores in
the U.S. and Canada, Atlantis
Rising has, for years, been the
best selling magazine devoted to
ancient mysteries, unexplained
anomalies, and future science.
Now our primary challenger has
dropped out of the game.
Nexus Magazine will no
longer be published in North
American and Canada. The last
issue of the Australian bi-
monthly in the United States was
Volume 17 number 3 which went
out in the summer of 2010.
According to a notice on its
web site (http://www.nexus mag-
azine.com/index.php?option=
com_content&view=article&id=

has discontinued its relationship
with Black Ram, LLC, its long-
time American publishing repre-
sentative. “Nexus Magazine USA,
also referred to as Nexus USA,”
said the notice, “is no longer au-
thorized or licensed to solicit or
accept subscriptions or adver-
tising for Nexus Magazine.”
Moreover, according to the com-
pany, Nexus Australia is not, and
never has been, responsible for
any subscriptions or advertising
purchases made through Black
Ram (aka “Nexus USA). Cus-
tomers are invited to contact

Unlike Atlantis Rising Maga-

businesses and then see to the
printing and distribution. The
Williams couple collected the
revenue and paid the bills and
had sole responsibility in those
areas.
When Atlantis Rising called
the Black Ram number in Oc-

still inviting callers to leave

 REPORT FROM THE FRONT
Tracking the News of the Coming Energy Revolution
The Life & Times of Tom Bearden, Pioneer
BY
JEANE
MANNING
“W
ho is Tom Bearden?” I
asked a new friend at the
second International Tesla
Society Conference. It was
1986 and we were in Colorado Springs lis-
tening to a speaker who revealed some new
insight about “free energy” inventions. My
friend was rushing away to find a fax ma-
chine—to be first to send the news to this
man Bearden. I also overheard others
speaking the name with obvious respect.
At similar conferences later, I met
Thomas Bearden and once dined with him in
Huntsville, Alabama. He’s gracious and gen-
erous in teaching how society could have
abundant energy. It requires the scientific
community to depart from flawed and ar-
chaic 1890s electrical engineering. For more
than 40 years he researched energy break-
throughs, focusing on energy from the
vacuum of space and how—unknown to con-
ventional engineers—every electrical circuit
already uses it.
Bearden collaborated with free-energy in-
ventors and saw novel effects firsthand on in-
ventors’ workbenches. His own path in-
cluded strenuous reading of the foundations
of physics, to the point of concluding that
scientists do not completely understand
some basics such as what energy and force
are.
His biggest discovery may be his finding
that the electrical engineering model still
used today was, in 1892, deliberately muti-
lated and thus severely limited ever since. He
infers that banker J. P. Morgan pulled strings
behind the scene for that mutilation, so that
tycoons could make vast fortunes within an
energy scarcity paradigm.
The story in brief started in the nine-
teenth century with Scottish physicist James
Clerk Maxwell who included “quaternion-
like theory” when he formulated classical
electromagnetic theory. Those equations
would have allowed tapping into energy from
the vacuum of space. Later, electrical engi-
neer Oliver Heaviside and others savagely
simplified Maxwell’s equations. Dutch physi-
cist Hendrik Lorentz later stole work already
done by an unrelated mathematician with a
similar name, Ludwig Lorenz, and published
it as his own. Lorentz was much higher-
profile and his publication of the symme-
trized Heaviside equations changed our
world. It discarded the possibility of elec-
trical systems whose C.O.P. (co-efficient-of-
performance) are greater than one, which
means more output than input energy. Thus
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74

recent alternative energy conference
the electrical engineering model was
crippled at its beginning.
Meanwhile, genius inventor Nikola Tesla
had already discovered “asymmetric” Max-
wellian systems. Tesla told technical groups
that we don’t need to consume fuel to get
energy but could freely harvest all the elec-
tromagnetic energy we need directly from
the “active medium” —the background en-
ergy of the universe. One proof that Tesla
had what he claimed is an article by T. W.
Barrett published in a science journal and
posted on Bearden’s website: “Tesla’s Non-
linear Oscillator-Shuttle-Circuit Theory.”
(http:// www . cheniere. org / references /
Tesla OSC.pdf)
There’s much more to Tom Bearden’s
findings, such as Morgan’s interference with
the use of Heaviside’s later discovery of a
giant hidden energy flow pouring out of the
terminals of every battery and generator (in
1900 Lorentz was again brought in to math-
ematically discard the energy flow as being
of “no physical significance”). Bearden
points to an area of optical physics and other
establishment science that taps the hidden
energy flows—although those physicists
aren’t allowed to discuss the thermody-
namics bluntly in publications but only use
euphemisms such as the “reaction cross sec-
tion is increased.”
However, this has been technical enough
for a general readership. I just want to cele-
brate Bearden’s milestone 80th birthday, De-
cember 17, 2010, honoring his contributions
while he is very much alive despite serious
health challenges.
Next month at a conference in Idaho, in-
ventor John Bedini will also honor Bearden.
Bedini was the “bench guy” who built devices
that tested the electromagnetic theories re-
sulting from Bearden’s research. The two are
interviewed in Anthony Craddock’s Energy
From the Vacuum DVD series.
“I didn’t let up on Tom,” Bedini told me.
He phoned Bearden almost nightly for years,
checking and rechecking. “Is this what you
want to do?” Instead of generating electrical
current conventionally, they wanted the non-
linear imbalance that can tap into the
vacuum energy. Bearden calls it “negative
energy,” while Bedini uses Tesla’s term “Ra-
diant Energy.”
What life experiences shaped Bearden’s
larger-than-life persistence and courage? The
earliest influence was “hard times.” For the
rest of his life, no matter how heavy the ridi-
cule and the “perpetual motion crackpot”
name-calling he had to endure, and how ex-
hausting the effort to change entrenched
ideas, it couldn’t be more difficult than his
early struggles to survive depression-era pov-
erty. The term “dirt poor” was created be-
cause starving people would eat clay or other
dirt to stop the hurting in empty stomachs.
His family homesteading near what is
now Cheniere, Louisiana, Tom’s father at 12
landed a job driving a wagon pulled by draft
horses or mules. At age 23 Tom’s father be-
came foreman over the logging team. He
met, fell in love with and married Tom’s
mother.
They had three sons, Tom the youngest.
Shortly after Tom’s second birthday, his par-
ents drove to town in a rickety Model-T and
were returning on a dark night on winding

Notes from
Michael A. Cremo
www.mcremo.com
No Knowledge Filtering Here
S
ome years ago, Doug Kenyon, editor of Atlantis Rising, asked me to write a column for
this magazine. I agreed, and it was a good decision. I named the column “The For-
bidden Archeologist.” In it, I have commented on many topics of interest to me.
The first is archaeological evidence for ex-
treme human antiquity. According to main-
stream conventional science, human beings
like us first came into existence between
100,000 and 200,000 years ago, having evolved
from more primitive apelike ancestors. But the
ancient Sanskrit writings of India and the texts
of other cultures tell us that humans have ex-
isted on earth for far longer periods of time.
There is some archaeological evidence for this.
I extensively documented this kind of evidence
in my book Forbidden Archeology. That book
was published in 1993. So this column has
given me a chance write about new evidence
for extreme human antiquity that has come to
my attention since then.
From time to time, scientists who support
the current evolutionary theories of human or-
igins announce discoveries of bones of apemen
that appear to confirm their ideas. These dis-
coveries are promoted in the mainstream
media as “our ancestors” and as “missing
links” in the imagined evolutionary chain. This
column has given me the chance to respond to
such propaganda by showing how humans like
us existed at the same time as the proposed
apelike ancestors.
Another of my interests is the history of
Vedic culture in India. By Vedic culture, I
mean the culture of Indoeuropean-speaking people. Sanskrit, the language of the Vedic litera-
ture, is Indoeuropean. According to conventional history, Vedic culture came into India from
the outside, from the northwest, as part of a migration of Indoeuropean speaking people into
India about 3,500 years ago. But in the Vedic literature itself, there is no evidence for any
such migration. The Vedic literature indicates that Vedic culture has always been present
within India. So in this column, I sometimes discuss evidence that shows the Vedic culture
has been in India for longer than 3,500 years.
In all the areas of my interest, the topic of knowledge filtration comes up. I introduced the
idea of the knowledge filter in my book Forbidden Archeology. It represents the influence of
dominant theories on the threat of evidence in archaeology and other sciences. Evidence that
supports dominant theories passes through this knowledge filter very easily. But evidence
that contradicts dominant theories does not pass through this filter, and thus this evidence is
not very well known. To most people, even professional scientists, this evidence simply does
not exist. Some of the agents responsible for this knowledge filtration are the editors and re-
viewers of scientific journals. Between the readers and the writers stand the editors and “peer
reviewers.”

Even mainstream scientists are beginning to question
the effectiveness of the peer-review process. The Guardian news-
paper in the United Kingdom reported on research in this topic in an
article titled “Trial by Peers Comes Up Short” by Sophie Petit-Zeman (Guar-
dian.com.uk, 16 January 2003). Dr. Tom Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration
Methods Group said, “Peer-review is generally assumed to be an important part of the
scientific process and is used to assess and improve the quality of submissions to jour-
nals as well as being an important part of the process of deciding what research is funded.
But we have found little empirical evidence to support the use of peer-review as a mechanism
to ensure the quality of research reporting, and there’s even more depressing evidence about
its value in deciding what should be funded.”
Editors of mainstream scientific journals and their peer reviewers often function as gate-
keepers for orthodoxy. Thomas E. Lee was a Canadian archaeologist. He discovered stone
tools on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, in the province of Ontario in Canada. The objects
were found in a formation over 70,000 years old. According to standard theories, there were
no human beings in North America before 25,000 years ago, maximum. Therefore Lee found
it impossible to get mainstream science journals to publish his findings. In the Anthropolog-
ical Journal of
Canada (1977, vol.
15, no. 1, p. 2), Lee
wrote: “A nervous or
timid editor, his
senses acutely at-
tuned to the smell of
danger to position,
security, reputation,
or censure, submits
copies of a suspect
paper to one or two
advisors whom he
considers well placed
to pass safe judg-
ment. They read it,
or perhaps only skim
through it, looking
for a few choice

picked up in the
smoke-filled back rooms at conferences—little bits of gossip that would tell them that the
writer was far-out, a maverick, or an untouchable). Then with a few cutting, unchallenged,
and entirely unsupported statements, they ‘kill’ the paper.”
In 1988, George Miller, curator of the Imperial Valley College Museum in El Centro, Cali-
fornia, reported that some mammoth bones bearing human cut marks were found in Cali-
fornia’s Anza Borrego Desert. Scientists from the United States Geological Survey dated the
bones using the uranium isotope method. They got an age of at least 300,000 years. Tests
using other methods (paleomagnetic dating and dating of volcanic ash found at the site) indi-
cated an age of perhaps as much as 750,000 years. The original reports came in a newspaper
article (D. Graham, “Scientist Sees an Early Mark of Man,” San Diego Union, 31 October
1988), but Miller planned on publishing a scientific paper about the discoveries. While I was
researching another case for my book Forbidden Archeology, I visited the San Diego Natural
History Museum. There I met paleontologist Thomas Deméré. I mentioned Miller’s discovery
to him. I also mentioned that Miller was planning on publishing a paper on it. Deméré said
he and his colleagues had heard about that. He told me the paper would never pass peer re-
view. Minds were made up in advance, before the paper was even read.
In the 1970s, geologist Virginia Steen-McIntyre and some of her colleagues were involved
in dating the archaeological site of Hueyatlaco in Mexico. There, archaeologists had discov-
ered stone tools and wanted to know how old they were. Steen-McIntyre and her colleagues,
using several different dating methods, got an age of over 250,000 years for the site. The ar-
chaeologists rejected the age because it contradicted their theories of human origins and the

 peopling of the Americas. Steen-
Alfred Russel McIntyre and her colleagues tried
Wallace to independently publish their re-
port but experienced difficulty in
doing so. Steen-McIntyre wrote in
a letter (March 29, 1979) to H. J.
Fullbright, an editor of a book in
which her report was supposed to
be published (but never was): “Ar-
chaeologists are in a considerable
uproar about Hueyatlaco—they
refuse even to consider it. I’ve
learned from second hand sources
that I am considered by various
members of the profession to be

monger, (3) an opportunist, (4)
dishonest, (5) a fool.”
Eventually her paper was pub-
lished in a geological publication.
Steen-McIntyre wrote in a letter
to one of the editors (Steven
Porter, 8 February 1980): “The ms
[manuscript] I’d like to submit
gives the geologic evidence. It’s
pretty clear cut, and if it weren’t
for the fact a lot of anthropology
textbooks would have to be re-
written, I don’t think we would
have had any problems getting the
archaeologists to accept it. As it is,
no anthro journal will touch it
with a ten foot pole.”
A few years ago, a scholar was
putting together a collection of es-
says about Alfred Russel Wallace,
who, along with Darwin, was the
cofounder of the theory of evolu-
tion by natural selection. Wallace was also involved
in research into the paranormal. Darwin did not ap-
prove of his involvement in such things. In my book
Human Devolution, I have a chapter about Wallace’s
research into the paranormal. The scholar invited
me to submit an essay based on that chapter to be
included in his book. I submitted the essay to him,
but it did not wind up in the book because of the ob-
jections of the editor from the academic publishing
company that was going to bring out the book. The
editor objected to my reputation as a maverick re-
searcher with non-mainstream ideas.
One thing I like about Doug Kenyon is that he
gives me complete freedom to choose my topics for
my column. There is no knowledge filtering going
on here. The words you see are mine, unedited, and
unchanged.
Recently, I put together 49 of my Atlantis Rising
columns in a book called The Forbidden Archeolo-
gist. What I hope to do is give people who are not al-
ready readers of Atlantis Rising the chance to see
the columns, with no knowledge filtering.

reciprocal passion were not his.”
Though “Victorianism” has become a
code word for sexual propriety, Victoria and
Albert seem to have pushed the envelope of
that propriety. Victoria was constantly preg-
nant, and the loving couple introduced nine
children into the world, all of whom sur-
vived to adulthood. The intelligent, talented,
and hard-working Prince Albert took on an
increasingly wide range of public functions.
The Great Exhibition of
the Art and Industry of
All Nations, taking place Prince
in the Crystal Palace in Albert
London in 1851 and now
regarded as the world’s
first trade fair, owed
much of its success to his
ideas, enthusiasm, and
leadership.
When Albert died in
1861 at the age of 42 (of-
ficially of typhoid fever,
but modern research in-
dicates it may have been
stomach cancer), Victoria
was crushed. So was the
British populace, who re-
alized how much Albert
had given to Great
Britain, Prime Minister
Benjamin Disraeli
summed up the general
feeling when he wrote in
his journal, “With Prince
Albert we have buried our
Sovereign. This German
Prince has governed Eng-
land for 21 years with a
wisdom and energy such
as none of our Kings have ever shown.” Vic-
toria reigned for 40 more years, but so great
was her mourning for her husband that she
neglected many of her duties, including
public appearances, until the late 1860s, and
wore black for the rest of her life.
There had been hints in Victoria’s early
life of a morbid fascination with death; this
obsession came to full bloom shortly after
Albert’s death. In Victoria: An Intimate Bi-
ography, biographer Stanley Weintraub
writes: “For years she would sleep with his
nightshirt in her arms. Every night there-
after [his death], she knelt at Albert’s side of
their bed before she put her head on her
own pillow . . . . Her precious cast of Albert’s
hand, made in happier days, would be kept
in their bedroom, near her. In each of their
homes, his dressing room or study would be
kept as it had been, even to the changing of
linens, the daily replacement of towels and
nightclothes, and—in the dressing rooms—
the bringing of hot water for shaving each
morning, and a scouring of the unused
chamber pot. Yet each room would continue
to be used in some way by Victoria.”
Author Michael Harrison provides a
broader perspective: “. . . in Victoria’s stage-
managed pretense that her dead husband
was still a member of the household there
was something so primitive that one was re-
minded of the elaborate domestic furnish-
ings of Egyptian and Etruscan tombs: as
elaborate an attempt to keep the dead
‘alive’—and as patently useless.”
The “table-tappng” Spiritualism of the
U.S.’s Fox sisters had leapt across the At-
lantic in 1851; ever since, there had been in-
tense interest in England and France in com-
municating with the dead. The court of
Queen Victoria was not immune from such
influences. Two years after Albert’s death, ru-
mors flew that Victoria had summoned to
Windsor Castle the
Hinckley, Leicestershire-
born medium Robert
James Lees.
Lees was only 14 at the
time; he would later be-
come a scholar, philan-
thropist, and friend of
prime ministers Glad-
stone and Disraeli. He had
given evidence of psychic
abilities from an early age,
reportedly seeing a kilted
Highlander sitting by his
bed when he was three.
When he was 13 or 14 (in
1862 or 1863), he con-
ducted a séance at which
he was said to have re-
ceived, through an uni-
dentified spirit guide, a
message from Prince
Albert.
Elizabeth Longford
continues the story in
Queen Victoria: Born to
Succeed: “James Burns,
editor of The Medium and
Daybreak, put a para-
graph in his paper de-
scribing the séance and dispatched it to the
widowed Queen. She decided to test the
boy’s bona fides by sending two Court offi-
cials incognito to the next séance. Lees again
went under control [subjected himself to
spirit guides], greeted the courtiers by their
true titles, gave them the highest Masonic
handshake and asked what Queen Victoria
wanted. ‘She wants a name,’ they replied.
Young Lees wrote down the secret pet-name
with which the Prince Consort always signed
letters to his wife, returning it to her in a
sealed envelope.”
An article in The Two Worlds for August
1949 declares: “This led to a series of séances
given to Queen Victoria at which Prince Al-
bert gave convincing evidence of his identity,
and his continued interest in the Queen and
of this country. This led to a request to re-
main permanently at the court in order that
the Prince Consort might be regularly com-
municated with concerning matters of state.
Acting under the advice of his chief control,
the request was declined, but John Brown, a

 ANCIENT MYSTERIES
• BY WILLIAM B. STOECKER
A
number of writers and researchers
have suspected for years that the
Great Pyramid at Giza and other an-
cient structures around the world
may actually be machines, representing a
technology so foreign to our own that most
people do not recognize it. The Great Pyr-
amid is constructed with uncanny precision
and has ascending and descending passages,
a bizarrely shaped “Grand Gallery,” a “King’s
Chamber” containing a “sarcophagus” with
no body, and a “Queen’s Chamber.” At least
four shafts lead from the chambers, and en-
gineer Rudolf Gantenbrink, beginning in
1993, sent remotely controlled vehicles into
some of the shafts, discovering stone doors
with metal fittings and a space beyond at
least one of these.
The shafts from the Queen’s Chamber
seem to point at Sirius (south) and Beta in
Ursa Major (north). The King’s Chamber
shafts seem to point toward Orion’s Belt and
Thuban in the constellation Draco. Most of
the structure appears to be of relatively soft
limestone, with the remnants
of a hard limestone facing on
the outside cut and fitted with
extraordinary precision. The
Queen’s Chamber has a granite
floor, and the upper part of the
Grand Gallery and all of the
King’s Chamber is composed
of pink granite, including the
flat ceiling. The Queen’s
Chamber has a gabled lime-
stone ceiling. Above the ceiling
in the King’s Chamber are a se-
ries of massive, angled blocks
and “relieving chambers,” sup-
posedly to prevent the weight
of the stone above from col-
lapsing the chamber. Engineer
Christopher Dunn and others
have pointed out the absurdity
of this explanation and also
noted that no such chambers
are above the lower Queen’s
Chamber, which has to sup-
port even more weight.
The Great Pyramid is part
of the larger Giza complex, in-
cluding two other large pyra-
mids, three small ones, the
Sphinx, a raised causeway, two
mortuary temples, the Sphinx
Temple, and the Valley Temple
along with numerous smaller
structures. It was long ru-
mored and is now proven that
there are several man-made
tunnels and chambers under
the limestone Giza Plateau,
and these connect to what ap-
pears to be a natural cavern
system, now filled with water.
Conventional archaeologists
estimate that the Great Pyr-
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
amid was built between 4580 and 4560 BP
(before the present), and this may be correct.
The apparent stellar alignments would seem
to rule out a very much greater age, and the
remaining limestone facing blocks on the
pyramids show no sign of water erosion. Of
course, these blocks may have replaced ear-
lier ones. However, erosion indicates that the
Sphinx and the temples are almost certainly
much, much older, dating back to 8,000 BP
or much earlier.
There have long been stories, unproven,
of apparitions within the pyramid and of a
powerful electric charge at the top, which
might indicate that the structure still has
some kind of power. Remember that this
structure has been repeatedly damaged. It
once was topped by a “benben stone” of un-
known composition; most of the facing
stones were stripped off to build modern
Cairo; A Muslim Caliph in AD 820 dug into
the structure; and an Englishman, Howard-
Vyse, used explosives to blast his way into the
“relieving chambers.” So, if it was a machine,
it is now a very badly damaged one.
Christopher Dunn has studied and meas-

Ancients

ured the Great Pyramid and other structures
in Egypt, bringing his knowledge of ma-
chining to bear on the subject. He has ad-
vanced the hypothesis that the precisely
shaped structure was designed to resonate
with our planet, absorbing and collecting the
vibrational energies caused by earthquakes,
tides, etc., and then, via the piezoelectric ef-
fect of quartz crystals in the granite, convert
that energy into electricity. This is only a
brief outline of his hypothesis.
Could there be another explanation,
however, one which would not be incompat-
ible with Dunn’s theory? Is it possible, even
likely that the Great Pyramid was a multi
purpose machine? Mystics and martial artists
have long believed that the entire universe is
filled with a kind of inexhaustible energy that
has been called Chi, Ki, Prana, Kundalini,
Vril, and Odic Force, among other names.
This mysterious energy seems to be
somehow connected with consciousness and
can apparently be controlled by the minds of
adepts. Mainstream conventional scientists,
predictably, tend to ridicule the idea; and, if
the chi force is real, it means that much of
modern physics is in need of
massive and fundamental revi-
sion. Actually, there is already
much evidence that the stan-
dard model of physics is not
working. One thing to con-
sider is that relativity theory
was developed after the Mich-
elson-Morley experiment
seemed to prove that there was
no ether. The ether was
thought to be a tenuous sub-
stance within which light
waves traveled—much as
sound waves do—in ordinary
matter. Now, relativity theory
insists that space is warped by
mass, and that this accounts
for gravity. But nothingness,
by definition, cannot bend.
There must be something
there to be warped, some sub-
stance or structure
space…in other words, an
to
ether. Einstein himself ad-
mitted that there had to be an
ether for relativity to work.
There is good reason,
though, to believe that chi is
real, and that it may, in fact,
be the ether itself, a dynamic
ether. Could the ether be com-
posed of a matrix along which
both transverse waves (electro-
magnetic radiation, including
visible light) and longitudinal
waves travel? The longitudinal
waves would thus be a dif-
ferent kind of light but, being
longitudinal, could also be
thought of as a kind of sound

(And God said “Let there be light.”) of what
does this matrix, upon which these waves
travel, consist? It is, some would argue, com-
posed of the waves. The waves, in this view,
travel upon the matrix and the matrix is
made up of the waves. The seeming absur-
dity of the concept is, it can be argued, its
greatest strength. And accordingly it seems
that whatever the nature of chi, ancient
structures were designed to focus and alter
it, harnessing it for a variety of purposes. So
the shape and probably the location of mega-
lithic structures would be important, with
the Great Pyramid perhaps functioning
rather like a huge lens (almost certainly an
oversimplification). But the materials com-
posing the structures would also be impor-
tant. Various kinds of
stone are composed
Stonehenge
of minerals which are
usually made up of
crystals (groups of
molecules arranged
in a three dimen-
sional repeating pat-
tern), and crystals,
like the pyramid,
have precise geo-
metric shapes. There
has long been a folk-
lore associated with
crystals, including
gemstones, attrib-
uting healing or mag-
ical properties to
them.
Geologists clas-
sify rocks as igneous,
sedimentary, and
metamorphic. Igneous rocks are those which
have solidified from a molten mass. The var-
ious forms of granite (found in the Great
Pyramid) are an intrusive magma that
cooled slowly, producing large crystals.
Granite is usually described as felsic, com-
posed of silica (SiO2, or quartz) and feldspar.
Ideally, quartz crystals are hexagonal prisms
with a six-sided pyramid at each end; more
commonly only one end is fully developed.
The various kinds of feldspar are complex
compounds of oxygen, silicon, and alu-
minum, plus either calcium or potassium.
Feldspar crystals tend to be rectangular
prisms and are usually triclinic, with three
vectors of unequal length. Some have paral-
lelogram bases. Quartz covers the ancient
structure of Newgrange, in Ireland, and can
be used as an oscillator in quartz watches.
Basalt, found in megalithic structures in sev-
eral locations, but especially in South
America, is an extrusive igneous rock that
has small crystals due to rapid cooling on
the surface of the earth. It is typically com-
posed of silica (SiO2 again) and calcic feld-
spars. It may contain magnetite, an iron
compound that may be naturally magne-
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
tized. Basalt, usually dark gray or black, is
said to be mafic, meaning that it contains a
relatively large amount of iron and magne-
sium compounds. Andesite, a lighter colored
extrusive igneous rock, is less mafic. Diorite,
a very hard intrusive igneous rock, is chemi-
cally similar to andesite and is found in
Egypt and was carved by the ancient Egyp-
tians.
Another igneous rock is bluestone (the
name has actually been given to several types
of sedimentary and igneous rocks). It is an
intrusive mafic rock often found in dikes
(vertical cracks in the country rock through
which the intrusive magma has flowed) and
sills (horizontal structures where the magma
has forced its way between the bedding
planes). At Stonehenge, along with the large
sarsen stones, there remain 43 of the two- to
four-ton bluestones, and there may have
been as many as eight, originally. The blue-
stone at Stonehenge is called Preseli spotted
dolerite and was brought from the Preseli
mountains in Wales, some 250 miles away.
The oldest structure in Stonehenge proper is
the ditch, probably begun around 5,100 BP,
and the rest of the monument was con-
structed in stages over a period of centuries.
But under the parking lot, across the two
lane highway (there is a pedestrian tunnel for
visitors), archaeologists have excavated
wooden posts dated to 10,000 BP. Several
types of stone are found at Stonehenge, and
it is important to note that the general view
is that particular types of rock are often
chosen for construction for their esthetic
qualities, local abundance, durability, or for
being easily worked. But what is intriguing
about the bluestones are anecdotal claims
that they always seem warmer than the other
stones. Could it be that they are absorbing
and transmuting chi energy, or simply re-
taining solar heat better? Or are the people
making the claims simply imagining it? This
claim, at least, would be fairly easy to test.
And there are many other types of rock
at Stonehenge, including sandstone, and, as
mentioned above, much of the Great Pyr-
amid is made of limestone. These are

• BY MARTIN RUGGLES
F
or thousands of years, scientists from
around the world have tried to un-
derstand how the ancient Egyptians
erected their giant pyramids, espe-
cially the Great Pyramid at Giza. Now, an ar-
chitect and researcher at the Norwegian Uni-
versity of Science and Technology (NTNU) in
Trondheim says he has discovered a previ-
ously unappreciated dimension to the
problem—the extraordinarily precise plan-
ning and direction that such a massive struc-
ture would have required. Is it possible that
millennia ago the monument’s architects
were the first to use a technique now consid-
ered essential to the construction of modern
skyscrapers?
According to Ole J. Bryn, in a new scien-
tific paper, prior researchers have been so
preoccupied, if not overwhelmed, by the lo-
gistics of dealing with the massive weight
and sheer numbers of stone blocks involved
that they have virtually overlooked other
major problems that would have faced the
ancient builders: How, for instance, did the
Egyptians know exactly where to put the
enormously heavy building blocks? And how
was the master architect able to communi-
cate detailed, highly precise plans to a work
force of 10,000 illiterate men?
These were among the questions that
confronted Bryn when he began his examina-
tion of the Great Pyramid. The so-called
Khufu pyramid, better known as the Pyramid
of Cheops, consists of 2.3 million limestone
blocks weighing roughly 7 million tons. At
146.6 meters high, it held the record as the
tallest structure ever built for at least 4000
years.

In fact, the sacred science of the ancient

Greeks, the Romans, and the Christians,
which led to the emergence of what we call
Western civilization—but for us, thousands

have always been people who have handed

 THE OTHER SIDE Tom Paine’s Nightmare (Drawn
by James Gilray, 1756-1815)

• BY MICHAEL
E. TYMN

A
fter many years of
murdering, raping,
and pillaging with
malice afore-
thought, twin brothers Jed
and Ned were finally
stopped by the police. Jed
was shot and killed in-
stantly, while Ned was ap-
prehended and sent to
prison for life. During his
confinement, Ned “found”
God and repented.
Jed and Ned are fictional
characters created here to
examine divine justice as
perceived by familiar bib-
lical orthodoxy (a view
which does not accept the

justice-providing mecha-
nism of reincarnation and
karma—Ed.). The predomi-
nant view is that Jed faces
eternal torment in hell,
while Ned has been “saved”
and will experience ever-
lasting bliss in heaven, as- In the Final Analysis, Is It Something We Visit on Ourselves?
suming, of course, that he
found the “right” God and
showed proper remorse.
One “school” holds that both Jed and Ned
will “sleep” until some far-off Judgment Day
when their moldering bodies will be restored
and raised from their graves so that they can
then receive appropriate sentences. Another
school has them being judged soon after
death and occupying their new environments
almost immediately, although with Catholics
there is an intermediate state called purga-
tory in which sins must be purged before one
is allowed entrance to heaven. Purgatory is
purportedly as bad as hell but not eternal.
In between those two views, there is one
in which there is something of “double judg-
ment.” The soul is judged soon after death
and sent to what might be called a staging
area while awaiting a final judgment on the
day of resurrection. Exactly how the second
judgment differs from the first judgment no
religious authority, that we can find, seems
to know. Simon Tugwell, an Oxford theolo-
gian, suggests that this double judgment is a
fundamental ambiguity and an embarrass-
ment to the Christians who accept it, but
may be so only because humans are unable
to comprehend the timelessness of the after-
life.
In the case of Jed and Ned and countless
others, it seems that luck is a big factor in
determining one’s salvation, or destiny in the
afterlife, irrespective of which of the three
belief systems mentioned he or she sub-
scribes to. Clearly, Jed was the unlucky one
in catching the bullet, while Ned lucked out
by avoiding the bullet. When orthodox
leaders are asked to explain why God allows
luck to play a part in one’s ultimate destiny,
they usually say that we are incapable of un-
derstanding or knowing God’s ways. In the
great scheme of things, justice prevails, they
assert with great conviction, even if we are
unable to comprehend it.
But not all believers are dogmatically
fixed in their view of how judgment is meted
out in the afterlife. According to Michael J.
Taylor, a professor emeritus of religious
studies at Seattle University in Washington,
a new theology of death has emerged (in
Christian thought). Instead of God’s passing
judgment as the person stands passively be-
fore Him, the dying person is allowed to
make a final choice for or against God. In ef-
fect, the person chooses an eternity with or
without God. Apparently, the person does
not see the latter state as the horrific hell of
orthodoxy, but rather as one of self-love. His
decision is based upon what he has learned
during his lifetime. If he does not opt for an
eternity with God, then he must surely be in
for a rude awakening.
Modern revelation, coming to us pri-
marily through the near-death experience
(NDE), mysticism, clairvoyance, and other
forms of spirit communication, suggests a
much more sensible, rational, and fair judg-
ment, if it can be called a “judgment”—one
consistent with a loving and just God.
Many NDErs have reported a “life review”
in which they see definitive moments in
their life flash before them during the experi-
ence. P. M. H. Atwater, whose NDE took
place during 1977, reported that she saw
every thought she had ever had, every word
she had ever spoken, and every deed she had
ever done during her life review. Moreover,
she saw the effects of every thought, word,
and deed on everyone who might have been
affected by them. As she interpreted it, she
was judging herself.
Tom Sawyer, who had an NDE in 1978
when his car fell on him while he was
working under it, recalled reliving every
thought and attitude connected with decisive
moments in his life and seeing them through
the eyes of those who were affected by his ac-
tions. He particularly recalled an incident
that took place when he was driving his hot-
rod pickup at age 19 and nearly hit a jay-
walking pedestrian, who darted in front of
him from behind another vehicle. When
Sawyer engaged in a verbal exchange with
the pedestrian, the man yelled some four-
letter words at him, reached through the
window, and hit him with his open hand.
Sawyer responded by jumping out of his car
and beating the man relentlessly. During his
life review, Sawyer came to know everything
about the man, including his age, the fact
that his wife had recently died, and that he
was in a drunken state because of his be-
reavement.
Sawyer came to see the attack from his
victim’s standpoint. “[I experienced] seeing
Tom Sawyer’s fist come directly into my
face,” he recalled. “And I felt the indignation,

 LOST HISTORY
Does This Casket at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum
Really Contain the Bones of Saint Thomas of Becket?
• BY STEVEN SORA
O
n an August night in 1990, some-
time after midnight, two young
men with Dickensian-sounding
names approached Britain’s Canter-
bury Cathedral. Armed with crowbars, bolt
cutters, chisels, wire, masking tape, and a
torch, Peregrine Prescott and Risto Pronk
were well prepared for surreptitious entry
but perhaps not well enough. Despite the fact
that both young adventurers were veterans of
the Foreign Legion, the police learned of
their apparent burglary-in-progress and
promptly took both into custody. The pair
claimed not to have intended
stealing anything; but, alas,
what small case there might
have been for the innocence of
their intentions was not helped
when, along with burglary tools,
in their possession was found a
map of the cathedral interior.
The explanation offered—one
which at first did little to im-
press police—was that they were
searching for the bones of one of
England’s most revered saints
Thomas a’Becket.
Becket had lived in very tur-
40 ATLANTIS RISING • Number 85
bulent times, but, as fate would have it, even
in the afterlife, his bones would see little
rest. The actions of Prescott and Pronk were
simply the latest on a long list of distur-
bances marring the saint’s post-mortem
slumber, including the highly acclaimed
1964 film starring Richard Burton as Becket.
Born in 1118 of Norman parents, Becket
was blessed with a quality education, a
strong presence, and, most likely, no small
portion of charisma. He entered the service
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Theobald,
who soon recognized his talent and packed
him off to Bologna and then Auxerre to fur-
ther his studies in the law. When Becket re-
turned to England, King Henry II
took him on as chancellor, an ac-
tion that immediately made him
one of the most powerful men in
the country. For years, the king
and his chancellor got along fa-
mously. They soldiered together
in war, hunted in peace and
Becket came to share his king’s
passion for luxury. Thomas up-
held the policies of the church
but with the king it was as an ad-
visor and a friend.
Then Theobold died. Becket
was ordained at once as priest
and as Archbishop and immediately took
over the role of Archbishop of Canterbury.
This new position, he realized, would have
potential to cause a rift between him and the
king. He knew no man could serve two mas-
ters at the same time. And, indeed, soon his
role as advisor to the king became strained
and diminished as he now represented a sep-
arate power. While humor may once have
settled differences, since Becket was now
bound to the Church, it failed. It didn’t help
that he chose now to dress in the austere
garb of a religious man. And it certainly did
not help that he took his new role seriously.
One of his jobs was to collect estates owed to
the Church that were held by his once dear
friend the king. Minor conflicts soon snow-
balled into major ones, and by 1164 he was
forced to escape to France to avoid being
jailed.
Then, in December of 1170, having been
led to believe that reconciliation was pos-
sible, Becket returned to Canterbury but not
for long. One day four knights rode to the
Cathedral, rushed into the Chapel of St.
Benedict, and charged through the handful
of helpless monks. Each knight struck the
Archbishop on the head with his sword and
left him bleeding and near death, then made

Who Really Decides Which Ideas

D
espite the myth of the “objectivity”
of “pure science,” there is nothing
fully objective about the way prac-
ticing scientists actually pursue
their business. Scientists, like everyone
else, are influenced either subtly or ex-
plicitly by combinations of social, po-
litical, and religious pressures (even
when reacting against such factors)
and by deeply ingrained assump-
tions and worldviews that are
virtually inescapable. The
status quo rewards “good”
scientists, those who tow the
party line, with prestige,
honor, promotions, grant money,
personal gain, and even wealth.
But those who step out of line may
be severely punished.
Politicians often have the ability to
halt the serious pursuit of certain sci-
entific endeavors. This has been the

agenda, using science as the means.
On a different scale, I have seen the cor-
rupting effects of money in Bosnia. I am re-
ferring to the so-called “Bosnian Pyramids”
located in Visoko. Initially I was excited about
the prospect of very ancient pyramids (claims
circulated that they were 10,000 or more
years old). Upon visiting the site, I discovered
a massive hoax fueled by money, power, in-
fluence, and patronage. The major player is
Semir Osmanagich, a Bosnian-American who
continues to promote several natural hills as
human-made ancient pyramids. He has solic-
ited private, corporate, and government
backing and funds to continue excavations
there, excavations that only perpetuate the
fraud by actually shaping the hills into what
appear superficially to be step-pyramid struc-
tures. Osmanagich brings high-level politi-
cians to the site, touting the great “discov-
eries” being made, and organizes
“conferences” about the “pyramids.”
While in Visoko exploring the site first-
hand in 2006, I briefly met a former head of
state of Yugoslavia, there to support the “pyr-
amids” (Bosnia/Herzegovina is one of the
countries that resulted from the breakup of
Yugoslavia during the 1991-1995 wars), and I
attended one of Osmanagich’s conferences.
The conference was a farce with no hard evi-
dence corroborating the reality of the “pyra-
mids” but rather a lot of mumbo-jumbo and
ambiguous comments generated by people
claiming to be scientists (archaeologists, geo-
physicists, chemists, geologists—you name
it) who were present simply because they
were being paid, and jobs were difficult to
come by in the ravaged Bosnian economy.
The politicians apparently knew nothing
about science, and could care even less. All
they were concerned about was bringing in

Shunned subjects include non-traditional

Parapsychology is an interesting case. Tel-

precognition have been studied extensively
for over a century by some of the best minds,
including Ph.D. scientists and even Nobel
laureates (for example, Charles Richet, Nobel
Prize in Physiology/Medicine, 1913, and
Brian Josephson, Nobel Prize in Physics,
1973). The basic phenomena have been dem-
onstrated over and over again and even been
put to practical use. There is a vast scientific
literature on parapsychology, with specialized
journals and societies. Yet, despite these
facts, the “average scientist” does not con-

 SPIRTUALITY

The
Mystery
of Mudra
Is There Hidden Meaning in
the Gestures of the Saints?
• BY PATRICK MARSOLEK

F
or centuries yogis, martial artists, and spiritual seekers have
used ritual hand gestures as part of their spiritual practice.
Their belief is that these positions help them attain the
mental and physical discipline or spiritual transformation
they seek. We all use common gestures to reinforce certain ways of
feeling and thinking. What do you feel if you cross your arms across
your chest when you are in conversation with someone? What hap-
pens if you open your arms and hold your hands out in front of you
with your palms facing up? The first posture may show psychological
closing off, suspicion, and even possibly defensiveness. The second
posture is more open, accepting, and vulnerable. In India, the palms
pressed flat together in front of the chest is used with the greeting
“Namaste.” One translation of Namaste is “the divine within me sa-
lutes the divine within you.” It is thought that if you practice this
palms gesture, you will see the divine more readily. Are there such
connections between our physical bodies and our inner mental or
spiritual terrain?
These gestures—or to use the Sanskrit word—mudras are an im-
portant part of many different spiritual disciplines. Yogis claim that
mudras possess healing and transformational powers and can even
activate paranormal abilities. They are gestures of delight, meaning a Christ is often painted with His right hand in prithvi mudra.

 THE UNEXPLAINED
When a Simple Business Trip Turns into a Paranormal Adventure
• BY FRANK JOSEPH
S
ome paranormal events are so ex-
traordinary and inexplicable; that
they form the outstanding experi-
ences of a lifetime. My own en-
counter began at daybreak last September
16, when publisher Wayne May and I drove
from the offices of his magazine, Ancient
American, in Colfax, Wisconsin, to an alter-
native archaeology symposium some 200
miles away.
Before arriving at Marquette, Michigan,
where attendees of the Ancient American
Preservation Society were meeting the next
day, we stopped overnight at a friend’s
country home little more than an hour’s
drive from the conference site. Alex, our gra-
cious host, was a Vietnam War veteran,
whose bizarre mix of macabre and hilarious
recollections kept us up until almost mid-
night. He also suffers from multiple scler-
osis, a chronic, inflammatory disease that at-
tacks various parts of the nervous system
leading to muscular disability. Although con-
fined to an automated wheelchair, Alex’s
mind and spirit are bright and indomitable.
Sometime after 11:00, Wayne and I were
shown to our sleeping quarters in a large
room on the second floor. A faint drizzle was
falling outside, typical of the rainy conditions
through which we had passed most of the
day during our drive toward Michigan’s
Upper Peninsula. We doused the lights; the
room fell into perfect darkness and silence;
and I was soon drifting off to sleep, when I
heard a loud “snap!” or “click!” that re-
minded me of a circuit breaker being
thrown.
46 ATLANTIS RISING • Number 85
“What was that?” I asked Wayne, who was
lying in his own bed on the far side of the
room. He had not yet fallen asleep but hap-
pened to be staring unseeing into the night
toward the ceiling, thinking about the up-
coming conference. The sudden sound
brought my mind back to full consciousness,
and I opened my eyes.
Responding to my question, Wayne could
only offer, “I don’t know.” Just
then, an intensely bright light exploded,
without any additional noise, in our room.
The white wall I faced in the darkness lit up
in a sheet of intense violet brilliance. I
thought at once that an electrical short had
shot through the house. But the source of
this abrupt incandescence winked on just
where Wayne had been staring in the dark-
ness. He was looking directly at a spherical
white light the size and shape of a large soft-
ball encircled from top to bottom by a broad
band of purple neon hanging motionless and
without a sound near the ceiling fan. A broad
skirt of violet light streamed like an enor-
mous lampshade descending from the orb to
illuminate all four walls, leaving the floor
and ceiling relatively unlit.
Although the object popped into exis-
tence with the abruptness of an exceptionally
potent flashbulb, it lingered longer, perhaps
two seconds. It left Wayne blind for a few
seconds more until he was able to make out
the midnight horizon beyond our rain-
streaked windows stabbed with about a
dozen lightning strikes. These were followed
shortly thereafter by a rolling series of thun-
derclaps that shook the whole house.
Given the surrounding storm, we as-
sumed our brilliant visitor must have been a
meteorological phenomenon of some kind,
most likely a form of ball lightning, an at-
mospheric electrical discharge little under-
stood by science. Most of what is known
about ball lightning derives from eyewitness
accounts that vary greatly in their descrip-
tions. Reports of color, size, configuration,
movement, behavior, or sound all differ in
the extreme. The brilliant orbs range from
more than 10 feet across down to the dimen-
sions of a pea, with shades of red, green,
white, or purple, mostly blue.
According to Brian Dunning, writing for
Sceptoid, Critical Analysis of Pop Phe-
nomena (http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4192,
2010), “Electromagnetic theory makes no
prediction that anything like ball lightning
need exist. It does predict all known forms of
electrical discharge. Some have speculated
that ball lightning is a plasma ball, but that
theory has been dismissed, because a hot
globe of plasma should rise like a hot-air bal-
loon, and that is not what ball lightning
does.”
Our September 16 encounter did not
match this or any other description of ball
lightning I was able to locate on the In-
ternet. The orb Wayne saw did not move.
Nor did its purple band and descending skirt
of light resemble anything we could learn
about ball lightning, which is invariably
characterized as highly mobile, of a single
color, and not accompanied by a lampshade-
like formation.
Alex wondered if the powerfully charged
sphere would have injured, or even killed
him, had it appeared instead in his down-
stairs bedroom, where his sleeping facilities
comprise a kind of metal cage he uses to

rishioners were killed and some 60 other per-
sons injured by an eight-foot-wide fireball
that crashed through the roof of an English
church at Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Devon.
Large stones crashed to the ground together
with huge, wooden beams, while pews were
wrecked. The fireball split in two, one half
smashing through a window to escape back
into the sky, while the other disappeared
within the church itself, its ruins almost ob-
scured under a sulfurous pall of thick, dark
smoke. In that unscientific age, the incident
was naturally blamed on the Devil. “Later,”
according to an early twentieth century
source (John S. Amery, Joshua Brooking
Rowe [1905], Devon Notes and Queries, J. G.
Commin, p. viii), “some blamed the entire in-
cident on two people who had been playing
cards in the pew during the sermon, thereby
incurring God’s wrath.”
On August 29, 1726, the sloop Catherine
and Mary, while passing through the Gulf of
Florida in a violent thunderstorm, was struck
by a fireball that killed a crew member and
severed the hand of another man.
Later that same century, “Admiral Cham-
bers on board the Montague, November 4,
1749, was taking an observation just before
noon ... he observed a large ball of blue fire
about three miles distant from them. They
immediately lowered their topsails, but it
came up so fast upon them, that, before they
could raise the main tack, they observed the
ball rise almost perpendicularly, and not
above forty or fifty yards from the main
chains, when it went off with an explosion, as
great as if a hundred cannons had been dis-
charged at the same time, leaving behind it a

“Genius unrefined resembles a flash of

Franz Grillparzer

upiter is the largest planet in our solar
system; eleven Earths could fit side by
side across the face of the gas giant.
Jupiter is fifth from the Sun, and its
orbit is five times farther than Earth’s orbit.
Jupiter spins on its axis in ten hours, less
than half the time it takes Earth to rotate
once. Jupiter’s atmosphere is composed
mostly of hydrogen (86%) and helium (14%),
and the atmosphere also has giant lightning
storms in its upper clouds. The colorful
cloud bands are actually layers. Darker
clouds are deeper in Jupiter’s atmosphere,
while the lighter clouds are higher.
The Great Red Spot is a gargantuan high
pressure storm, similar to a hurricane on
Earth, that rotates counterclockwise in Ju-
piter’s southern hemisphere in about six
day’s time. The famous storm has swirled for
at least 400 years that humans have been ob-
serving it through telescopes. Jupiter has
sixty-three known moons, named for the
mythical god’s romantic liaisons. The four
largest moons, the so-called Galilean Moons,
after Galileo who discovered them, are
among the most studied objects in the Solar
System.
Jupiter’s composition is more like a star
than a planet, with an internal energy source
and enormous magnetic fields, and if it has
any solid surface it’s hidden deep at the
center. Jupiter is twice as massive as all the
other planets combined; and if it had been
100 times more massive at birth, it would
have ignited. Our solar system would have
become a double star system, and our plane-
tary family might have evolved quite differ-
ently. Life as we know it on Earth might
never have emerged.
Mythology
The Roman Jupiter was the earlier Greek
Zeus and the even earlier Egyptian Min-
Amon. King of the gods, Zeus was the quin-
tessential “sky father.” Zeus/Jupiter was con-
sidered to be a god of light and therefore
wisdom. As a god of light, it’s intriguing to
consider that he might have become a star if
circumstances had been different in the early
stages of our solar system. According to
myth, the infant Jupiter was raised on the
milk of a goat whose horns continually over-
flowed with food and drink. This is the origin
of the cornucopia, the horn of plenty, and
mythically encodes the symbolism that Ju-
piter embodies abundance.
Mythically, with the help of his mother
Rhea, the Greek Zeus overthrew his Titan fa-
ther, Cronus/Saturn, to become king of
heaven and begin the phase of the Olympian
gods, who followed the earlier and more pow-
erful Titans. The war of the Titans, lasting 10
years, preceded the ultimate victory of Zeus
and the new order of Olympian gods. After
the war, Zeus apportioned the Olympian uni-

verse. Taking earth and sky for himself, he
gave his brother Poseidon (Neptune), the
sea, and he bequeathed the underworld, the
realm of the dead, to his brother Hades
(Pluto). Zeus ruled supreme over the Olym-
pian gods, wielding three thunderbolts. The
first bolt was a warning shot across the bow;
the second, which required the approval of
12 gods known as comsentes, was hurled as a
stronger warning. The third thunderbolt was
thrown in punishment, but only after per-

hidden gods.
Aries, the Ram
Krios Khrysomallos was a mythical,
flying golden ram. The cloud nymph Nephele
(cloud in Greek) sent him to rescue her two
children, Phrixos and Helle, as they were
about to be sacrificed to the gods. The ram
carried the children to Kolkhis, at the far
end the Black Sea. He instructed the boy to
sacrifice him to the gods in their place and

Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter entered the astrological sign of
Aries in June for a period of three months,
giving us a preview of this transit, and then
moved back into Pisces by retrograde motion.
Jupiter reenters Aries in mid-January 2011
and will remain direct in motion until en-
tering Taurus in June 2011. This relatively
short and speedy passage through Aries is in
character with the combination of planet and
sign.
Jupiter in Aries is an exciting, inspiring
and enthusiastic blend of energies. The nat-
ural expansiveness of Jupiter is happy to ex-
perience the adventurous nature of Aries, re-
sulting in dynamic and vigorous expression.
Jupiter expands whatever area he visits, so
while he moves through Aries we might see a
growth of pioneering ideas. Jupiter wants
more and bigger of everything, embodying
the principles of inspiration, abundance, opti-

of room to move in Aries. This compatible
combination can generate abundant ideas

Some circles in the newly created formation

engineering expertise provides a unique view
into the sophisticated technology used to
create these famous monuments in prehis-
toric times. Using computer-aided design
software and metrology instruments, he ex-
poses the extreme precision of these monu-
ments and the type of advanced manufac-
turing expertise necessary to produce them.
His examination of the mysterious under-
ground tunnels of the Serapeum illuminates
the finest examples of precision engineering
on the planet.
To list just one example, according to
Dunn, “The Ramses challenge was issued in
ancient Egypt again and again, from Mem-
phis and Cairo to Luxor and Abu Simbel.
Exact replicas of Ramses’ image were crafted
in limestone, sandstone, quartzite, granite,
and diorite....Some pieces weigh more than
1,000 tons....The statues are massive--a sig-
nificant challenge to move and, because they
are intricately carved, an even more signifi-
cant challenge to sculpt. What distinguishes
the Ramses statues is the iconic imagery of
the perfect face. It seems that no matter
which of the Ramses statues we look at, the
same smiling face gazes through you, into
infinity.”
In order to accomplish this effect, Dunn
explains, the ancient sculptors worked to a
uniform system of measurement and a de-
sign scheme. Just as today we replicate de-
signs using uniform measures and consistent

methods of manufacturing, in ancient Egypt
there was a system of design, measurement,
and manufacture used to create the Ramses
statues. We can then ask the question: What
was the fundamental scheme that the an-
cient Egyptians used to create and re-create
this iconic image in stone?
In 1986 Dunn visited Memphis, near Saq-
qara, and gazed down at the statue of Ramses
in the open-air museum. Looking down the
length of the statue, it struck him as peculiar
that the left and right nostrils were identical
mirror images of each other. It is common
knowledge that no adult walking the earth
has nostrils that are identically shaped. He
thought it was noteworthy, but did not
follow up and research it further as his focus
at the time was on engineering, not art. He
was there to study the pyramids and had not
planned to visit any temples during his visit.
He didn’t realize at the time, though, how
important his observation would become to
his future research.
And in his book and this DVD, Dunn
follow up in depth. Even though we’ve re-
viewed previous DVDs of Dunn’s analysis of
the Egyptian pyramids, as well as the ruins in
South America, make no mistake—this is
new material. Actually, it’s based on his
latest book, Lost Technologies Of Ancient
Egypt: Advanced Engineering in the Temples
of the Pharaohs (2010), which is well illus-
trated with much of the same material, but
there are a few things in the DVD you won’t
want to miss that aren’t in the book—and, of
course, his charming presentation will be a
delight to all Dunn fans.

KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY: Fact and
Fiction
John Iovine
This new DVD by Images Scientific In-
struments, Inc., explores and explains the
world of Kirlian photography. Producer John
Iovine says that he has been shooting Kirlian
photographs as well as writing books and ar-
ticles on the technique for 20 years. “The ex-
perience I gathered in that time I distilled
into the tutorial portion of the DVD, which
explains how to shoot Kirlian photographs.”
Images SI Inc. has been manufacturing Kir-
lian photography devices and accessories for
over 10 years. Edmund Scientific is their
largest distributor in the United States.
Kirlian photography is a high voltage,
contact print photography. The process is
simple. Sheet film is placed on top of a metal
plate, called the discharge or film plate. The
object to be photographed is placed on top of
the film. If the object is inanimate, such as a
coin or leaf, an earth ground is connected to
the object. High voltage is applied to the
plate momentarily to make an exposure. The
corona discharge between the object and dis-
charge plate passes through and is recorded>

 on the film. When the film is devel-
oped, you have a Kirlian photograph
of the object. The Kirlian process
doesn't require the use of a camera
or lens.
Kirlian photography is named
after Semyon Davidovich Kirlian and
his wife Valentina who began their
work with high voltage photography
in 1939. Kirlian collaborated with
his wife for over 30 years developing
equipment and studying electro-
photography. The Kirlian’s work was

dirt roads. A quarter-mile from home, the car
lights shorted out and the car slid off the
road. As it flipped over, the door flew open
and the car came down and crushed the
young mother. Tom’s father lifted the car off,
picked her body up, and ran home screaming
and crying. Two-year old Tom woke up to
hear the pandemonium as his father burst in
the door into lamplight with Mother in his
arms. “I went into profound shock without
anyone knowing it and afterwards was
haunted by just recalling seeing red blood
and horror as a toddler.”
Years later, Tom Bearden found a way to
come to terms with that trauma and
loss of his mother. We’ll get to that.
After Tom’s father remarried, work
in the timber business still took him
away. As the smallest son, Tom bore
the brunt of stepmother cruelty. “When
I was almost four, my oldest brother
James at ten years old took down the
deer gun from the wall and threw down
on her and made her pull me back out
of the well where she had lowered me
down into the water to drown me.”
His father took the boys back to
their grandmother and his sister Lou
Audrey, then sent money when he
could. Young Tom sawed wood, gar-
dened and raised chickens and a hog.
When his brothers went back to their
father and stepmother in Mississippi,
Tom alone gathered food for Grand-
mother and Auntie. He roamed the
swamps nearby, fishing or shooting
squirrels for food.
On one lake, alligators raised their
young. The fishing was best there, so
Tom fished those dangerous waters at
age 12. Another hazard was escaped im-
ported boars who interbred with the smaller
native wild pigs; you could meet a 500-pound
wild boar in the woods. Poisonous snakes
slithered around the homestead—
copperhead moccasins, cotton-mouth moc-
casins and a few rattlers. Tom had to kill
countless chicken snakes to protect the
family’s eggs and small chicks.
He also learned how energy supplies af-
fect basic needs. With an axe and a bucksaw
he cut wood for the family’s fireplace, heater
and wood-burning kitchen stove. There was
no running water, only a well. They had no
electricity and lit the home with kerosene
lamps.
I can see how harsh circumstances pro-
duced the “sheer grit” needed for his mis-
sion. On the other hand, his grandmother
and aunt treated the boys tenderly despite
the poverty, so I assume that’s what nurtured
his own kind heart. The women taught some
reading and writing before he entered Che-
niere’s one-room elementary school; there
he read everything available. Meanwhile his
father’s second marriage ended in divorce.

HOLLYWOOD CROSS
Continued from Page 23
India. Anyone not present could be forgiven
for concluding that Nahtan was a charlatan,
but Goodman was not naïve. Whoever he
was, he left a lasting impression on her. In-
deed, it would be a life-changing experience
for her.
Nahtan also had a clear mission: He in-
structed Goodman that she should go to the
mountains, where she would meet her twin
soul. The “Twin Soul” concept is similar to
that of “soul mates” but more specific. The
definition of twin souls is a pair of souls
made from the same soul, halved at the be-
ginning of time, who reunite in the flesh
during their time on Earth, to become whole
again. It is this specific concept that appears
time and again in many myths, including the
legend of Isis and Osiris, themselves twin
souls. In mythology the concept is often pre-
sented as “brother and sister, and lovers.” In-
deed, their love story is arguably the greatest
ever told. It certainly inspired generations of
ancient Egyptians. Goodman, who had
worked extensively in applying astrology with
this concept, subsequently redoubled her ef-
forts.
What Goodman left out of the published
account (in Star Signs) were the details on
how Nahtan had provided information on
Hollywood Hill, though the published ac-
count does include an oblique reference to it.
After Nahtan left, Goodman writes how she
sat in the suite of the hotel, “by the window
that looked out on the small white cross,
planted on the far hill behind Grauman’s
Chinese Theatre across Hollywood
Boulevard.”
Ever after, whenever Goodman came to
Los Angeles, she would ask for the same
hotel suite, primarily because of the en-
counter there and because there was a clear,
unobstructed view to the Hollywood Cross.
Today, the latter is no longer the case, as the
Hollywood & Highland Center has blocked
the view—though from the viewing platform
of that complex, you can see how the Holly-
wood Cross and the famous Hollywood sign
align.
Nahtan told Goodman about a future in
which she would meet her twin soul. Isis and
Osiris she believed to be the perfect arche-
types for twin souls, and she apparently also
believed that the Great Pyramid had been
built by Osiris, millennia earlier than estab-
lished history dates it. In her opinion, Khufu
merely restored it. She was, of course, nei-
ther the first nor the last who believed that
the pyramid predated the Dynastic Era of An-
cient Egypt. The Egyptian High Priest Ma-
netho produced a King List in which he
stated that before the first Dynastic Pharaoh,
there were demigods and gods who ruled
over Egypt—including Osiris. In fact, for the
Ancient Egyptians, Osiris was not considered
a mythical figure but a flesh and blood re-
ality.
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
When Osiris is tricked during a meal, he
is killed and his body cut into fourteen parts,
which are scattered along the length of the
River Nile. Isis goes in search of these pieces,
in hope of recovering them all, thus saving
Osiris’ soul. Alas, she is unable to find his
phallus, which, according to some accounts,
was eaten by the fishes that live in the Nile.
(This was the reason Egyptian priests were
not allowed to eat fish.) She therefore
created a phallus from wood and, through
magic, was able to conceive the Divine Child,
Horus, who would later go on to avenge his
father by slaying Seth, Osiris’ brother, who
had been responsible for Osiris’ death.
Goodman highlighted December 8 as the
date linked with the festival of the maimed
Osiris and his resurrection through the in-
tervention of Isis. Today, in the Christian cal-
endar, it marks the feast of the Immaculate
Conception. On that day, each year,
Goodman would make sure that she was in
Los Angeles, so she could trek from her hotel
to the Hollywood Cross, often accompanied
by a small group who shared her passion.
After Goodman died in 1995, her estate
ended up in the hands of Crystal Bush. Bush
hired a team to go through Goodman’s
boxes. Some researchers were intimately
aware that Goodman had documents and
test results related to the Hollywood Cross
hill, but none were found in Bush’s boxes.
Their whereabouts remain unknown. The
story of Goodman and the Hollywood Cross
is therefore—at present—without hard evi-
dence. It comes, however, from a remarkable
and reputable source. And everyone who had
seen Goodman’s accumulated evidence be-
lieved her investigation should be continued.
The first question, of course, is whether
this is all factually possible. For even evi-
dence of a subterranean chamber under a
hill does not prove that Osiris’ phallus is in-
side. But let’s take the problem one step at a
time…
When driving around that particular area
of Hollywood, specifically around the back
streets, it is clear that some of the hills show
signs of terracing. Whether ancient or more
modern is unclear, but it is largely in line
with earthen mounds seen elsewhere in the
U.S. and Mexico. It is also known that the
area was once sacred to Native Americans,
which might explain the terracing, but also
begs the question: why did the Native Ameri-
cans consider it sacred?
As it happens, Goodman was convinced
that it was no coincidence that the so-called
eighth art—namely cinematography—had
blossomed in the shadow of Osiris’ purported
missing phallus. It is indeed a matter of
record that the Emerald Tablets, and hence
Osiris, were seen as inspiring the arts them-
selves (e.g. The availability of the Corpus
Hermeticum in fifteenth century Florence is
considered one of the cornerstones of the
Renaissance as well as an inspiration for
painters like Botticelli, Donatello, etc.).
Osiris and his magical son Horus are also
heroes par excellence, and Hollywood is, of
course, the best-known and biggest hero fac-
tory on Planet Earth. Coincidence? For an
astrologer like Linda Goodman, there was no
such thing. Coincidence was merely a rela-
tionship between two objects which science
had not yet fully understood. The reason why
Hollywood became what it is, she felt, lay un-
derneath a hill next to the 101.
There are some hints that Goodman
might not have been the first interested in
this piece of land. Curiously, its summit is
the only piece of real estate in LA that is cir-
cular in shape. Today, it is in private owner-
ship, though the property immediately sur-
rounding the circle is owned by LA County.
An interesting character in the history of
the hill is Christine Wetherill Stevenson. In
the 1920s, she purchased land across the
street from the Hollywood Bowl and built the
Pilgrimage Theater, which became the home
of the Pilgrimage Play all about the life of
Jesus. Jesus and Osiris share much in
common, though, of course, one can’t go too
far with this comparison, inasmuch as Jesus
is at the cornerstone of every Christian’s
faith.
The Hollywood Cross (circled)
and the Hollywood Sign
Upon her death in 1922, Stevenson was
memorialized with the now famous cross,
making the hill into something of a modern-
day Golgotha, the hill upon which Jesus was
crucified. Originally, the cross was only lit
during Easter when the play was performed,
but soon, it was lit every night and the Cross
became one of Hollywood’s many famous
landmarks. Of course, the Passion, with the
Last Supper and Jesus’ subsequent death, are
clear parallels with the story of Osiris who
was murdered during a meal. Equally, the
parallels between Mary Magdalene weeping at
the cross and Isis weeping over her hus-
band’s body are apparent.
How did—how could—Osiris’ phallus end
up in California? For this, we need to accept
that the legend of Isis and Osiris could be a
true story. As strange as that is for a twenty-
first century mindset, the ancient Egyptians
themselves made it clear that they believed
that their deities were once physical beings
who had lived around 20,000 BC. It is also
known that the ancient Egyptians of Dy-
nastic times had boats capable of long-
distance sailing. There is as yet no hard evi-
dence that they crossed the oceans, though
there are some indications of this possibility.
In the Grand Canyon in Arizona, there are in-
dications that the ancient Egyptians came
here. Possible Egyptian artifacts and caves
with Egyptian mummies have been rumored
to exist ever since the Canyon was first
explored.
Osiris was the Lord of the Underworld.>
Number 85 • ATLANTIS RISING 59

HOLLYWOOD CROSS
Subterranean chambers and coffins were
linked with him; and the possibility that one
of the artifacts linked with him was buried in
a subterranean structure, seems plausible. A
related question might be whether and
where the thirteen other artifacts linked with
Osiris are buried.
It may be too early to suggest a coherent
theory, but there are interesting points to
make. The Hopi, a Native American tribe in
Arizona, see their place of emergence—the
place of creation—in the Grand Canyon. It is
therefore a very special place for them. Could
it be the same for the ancient Egyptians, who
spoke of a Western Isle as the place of their
origins? A place from which they came to
Egypt…
Some will immediately fill this in as At-
lantis, a continent said to exist in the direc-
tion of America; and though the Greek phi-
losopher Plato wrote of it, he was relating
information that came to him from Egyptian
priests… the same priests who believed their
deities had lived, thousands of years earlier,
on Earth. If Osiris belongs to that period,
20,000 odd years ago, and to a lost civiliza-
tion, then the possibility that this civilisation
sailed to ancient America must be consid-
ered. Archaeology is discovering, with every
passing day, that human presence on the
American continent is far older than previ-
ously assumed.
The Hopi also speak about a magical
water jar said to create wells and streams
even in the most adverse climates. Many of
their great houses in Arizona were without
running water, yet communities once
thrived there. Did water indeed come from
some magical water jar? Part of their tradi-
tion states that sometimes a jar broke, and
hence a representative needed to travel west,
to an undefined location on the Pacific Coast,
to refashion a magical water jar. Interest-
ingly, such water jars, or baskets, or chests,
are in Egyptian culture specifically associated
with Osiris. Coincidence? Or another clue
that Hollywood Hill might be linked with the
mysteries of ancient Egypt.
Hollywood Hill was a private project of
Linda Goodman, which came to a halt when
she died in 1995. Those who knew her and of
her interest remain convinced that Goodman
was actually onto something, if only because
they had seen the results of her scientific
surveys. Alas, when she died, the relevant
documents were apparently lost, meaning
that the story of the Hollywood Hill became
another… legend. Those who knew her hope
that some day they can rekindle the project.
Since 1995, surveying technology has made
gigantic strides;and what seemed impossible
to map at that time may now be quite doable.
Can we accept that the ancient Egyptian dei-
ties were once physically real? And if so, is it
possible that, somehow, an ancient Egyptian
relic ended up halfway across the world? The
whole idea seems to be, at the very least,
good material for some imaginative Holly-
wood scriptwriter.

young ghillie on the Balmoral staff, was
named as a suitable substitute. Lees was
however allowed to give séances to her Ma-
jesty in exceptional circumstances and did
so.”
The “ young ghillie from Balmoral”
(“ghillie” is from gille, the Gaelic word for
servant) was quickly dispatched from the
royal residence in Balmoral, Scotland, to
Windsor Castle. John Brown remained in the
Queen’s personal service for 20 years, until
his death in 1883 at age 56. Longford writes
that “except when too ‘bashful’ to receive
messages from the spirit or any other world,
[he] acted as the Queen’s medium until he
died.”
Supposedly, Robert James Lees remained
in the picture. Longford provides the tradi-
tional account: “Robert Lees is said to have
stood in for Brown on several of these occa-
sions [the séances], also being summoned
shortly before the Queen’s death, when she
kissed his hand at parting. Because of the
stigma attaching to Spiritualism, Lees ob-
served the utmost secrecy, corresponding
with Queen Victoria only by courtier.
Nothing of his royal connection (which is
said to have included Queen Alexandra)
emerged until he died in 1931. Then his
daughter, Miss Eva Lees, told the story for
the first time in the press. It has been retold
in the course of 30 years to psychical re-
searchers and writers including the present
author [Longford] who heard it from Miss
Lees in 1962. By way of tangible evidence,
Miss Lees states that in her possession are
half-a-dozen envelopes bearing the royal cy-
pher which contained letters from Queen
Victoria and other Royalties. Miss Lees also
allowed the author to see a copy of her fa-
ther’s first and best-known book, Through
the Mists, bound in crimson morocco with
the royal cypher stamped in gold on the
cover—alleged to be a gift from Queen Vic-
toria.”
Over the course of 20 years, Victoria and
Brown became very close. He was given addi-
tional duties, many of which brought him
into daily private contact with the Queen.
Victoria was intensely fond of Brown—
though we will likely never know the full ex-
tent of her true feelings for him, since, it ap-
pears, one of her children (possibly her
youngest daughter, Beatrice, or, more likely,
her son Albert when he ascended to the
throne as Edward VII in 1901) destroyed
most references to Brown in Victoria’s
diaries.
Over the course of his life in England, ru-
mors abounded regarding John Brown’s
friendship with Queen Victoria. The sculptor
Sir Joseph Boehm, who did a bust of Brown
at Balmoral, is reported to have heard that
the Queen had “got it into her head that
somehow the Prince’s spirit had passed into
Brown and four years after her widowhood,
being very unhappy, allowed him all privi-
leges.” Elizabeth Longford insists this was
only hearsay. Longford believes such rumors
were sparked and fanned into flame by a
British press frantically in search of readers.
Longford reports that, for example, “In Au-
gust 1867 a satirical magazine, Tinsley’s,
wrote that ‘their queen had gone mad—
Brown was her keeper; had gone spiritu-
alist—Brown was her medium; had gone
wrong—Brown was her lover.’ ” Longford as-
serts this is sheer fabrication.
Biographer Elizabeth Longford raises real
doubts as to whether any séances with
Robert James Lees ever actually took place.
Regarding the secret pet-name for Albert
John Brown
that Lees’s spirit guides released to Victoria’s
ambassadorial courtiers as proof that Albert
was being channeled, Longford maintains
that no such pet-name existed, and that Al-
bert always signed his private letters to Vic-
toria “A” or “Albert.” Longford further as-
serts, regarding the Masonic handshake with
which Lees greeted the courtiers, that Albert
was never a Freemason and that Victoria had
little else but contempt for Freemasonry.
Longford also does not believe that the pos-
session, by Lees’s daughter Eva, of letters
purportedly sent by Victoria to her father are
proof (because they are embossed with the
royal cipher) that the séances with Robert
James Lees ever took place. Longford says
the letters (four, not half-a-dozen) contained
only acknowledgements from the secretaries
to the four royal recipients, who were the
Duchess of York, Princess Henry of Batten-
burg, the Princess of Wales—and Queen Vic-
toria.
If the Prince Albert’s-spirit-channeling
séances with Lees ever did take place, they
have been the subject of a cover-up so mas-
sive as to be of truly regal proportions. This
is just as true of any séances conducted by
Brown in which he became the new vehicle
for Albert’s spirit to the extent that he could
have a more-than-Platonic relationship with
Victoria. The only thing we know for sure is
that the 130-year-old rumors of Queen Vic-
toria’s uncanny love triangle that strayed
into the afterworld have not lost their power
(the Doctor Who episode is proof) to titillate
us all.

sedimentary rocks. Limestone is mostly
CaCO3, or calcium carbonate, made up of ac-
cumulations of the shells of marine organ-
isms, including shellfish, some of them ex-
ceedingly tiny, and coral. It often contains
some silica (SiO2) in the form of chert, flint,
or jasper. The crystals may be in the form of
aragonite or the more common and stable
form of calcite, which forms trigonal rhom-
bohedral crystals, with much variation.
These crystals can cause double refraction, or
bifringence. Most of the crystals in lime-
stone are tiny and imperfect, and many are
broken. Also, bear in mind that limestone is
often chosen because it is abundant, easily
worked, and fairly durable. Sandstone is typi-
cally made up mostly of SiO2 and feldspars,
which are often present in various forms of
clay as well. Sedimentary rocks are solidified
by a variety of changes under the general
headings of diagenesis and consolidation,
and sandstone grains are typically cemented
by calcite, clay, or more silica. As with lime-
stone, most of the crystals are small, imper-
fect, or broken. Incidentally, the country
rock beneath Stonehenge and much of the
Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire is mostly
chalk…a soft limestone. The Giza Plateau is
limestone, and much of coastal Yucatan
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
where many Mayan ruins are located, is
limestone as well, with innumerable caves,
underground rivers, and sinkholes, or ce-
notes.
The third major category of rock is met-
amorphic. Obviously, sedimentary rocks
have undergone a kind of metamorphosis,
changing from sand or layers of shells into
solid rock; but what really defines metamor-
phic rocks is recrystallization due to chem-
ical change, or, more commonly, heat and
pressure. Not only sedimentary but also ig-
neous rocks can be metamorphosed. Marble,
chosen for its beauty, is metamorphosed
limestone. Sandstone can become quartzite.
Northeast of Mexico City is the ancient
site known as Teotihuacan. The complex in-
Mica
cludes an avenue heading 15.5 degrees east
of north, the Pyramid of the Sun and the
smaller Pyramid of the Moon, and several
smaller structures, platforms, and flat-topped
pyramids. Under the Pyramid of the Sun is a
man-made cave with four chambers arranged
rather like a four-leaf clover. In fact, there
are a number of tunnels under Teotihuacan.
The Pyramid of the Sun was probably begun
around 2,200 BP and finished about 300
years later, but it was built atop earlier struc-
tures; so the site, like Stonehenge, may have
been in use far earlier. The design is called
“talud-tablero,” consisting of a series of
sloping walls alternating with vertical sec-
tions. It may have been constructed by the
Totonac Indians, possibly influenced by the
Olmecs, and, judging by the carvings, the
builders apparently (like the Mayans and
others) worshipped the feathered serpent.
The pyramid has base dimensions almost
identical with those of the Great Pyramid,
but it is only about half as high, and the
stonework is not as precise. It is mostly com-
posed of a reddish igneous rock, probably
rhyolite, which is a felsic extrusive equivalent
of intrusive granite. Could it somehow have
harnessed the chi energy, despite being
lower, different in shape, and less precise
than the Great Pyramid? A clue may lie in
the fact that, when the pyramid at Teoti-
huacan was first excavated and partly recon-
structed by Leopoldo Batres in the early
twentieth century, he found layers of mica,
said to be from Brazil (this would indicate >

truly extensive, probably maritime, prehis-
toric trade routes). Mica, an excellent dielec-
tric, is typically an igneous rock, one of sev-
eral phyllosilicates, or sheet silicates,
composed of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, and
fluorine, along with aluminum, magnesium,
or iron, and several other metals, which may
vary…in other words, very complex chemical
compounds. The crystals tend to be mono-
clinic (rectangular or hexagonal prisms with
parallelogram bases). Is it possible that the
mica, clearly obtained at great expense, de-
spite being of no structural or esthetic value,
may have compensated in part for the pyr-
amid’s smaller size and allowed the chi force
to be harnessed?
Wall at Ollantaytambo
There is other evidence that certain
rocks and minerals were deliberately chosen
by ancient builders for reasons other than es-
thetics, availability, or durability. At Ollan-
taytambo in Peru, most of the megaliths are
of stone quarried from across the Urubamba
River and raised up the steep side of the
valley. The huge stones in the Wall of the Six
Monoliths rest on smaller stones for no obvi-
ously logical reason and are separated by col-
umns of smaller stones. The structures at
Sacsayhuaman make no sense at all to a
modern observer and are also constructed in
part, of stone quarried some distance away
and hundreds of feet below the site, again,
for no apparent reason. At Tiahuanaco in Bo-
livia I discovered (or rediscovered) a row of
magnetized monoliths.
Scientists willing to think outside the
box might actually test rocks and minerals
for effects and properties unexplainable in
conventional terms. Certainly, tests could be
done with the bluestones of Stonehenge, or
even samples of similar rock in a laboratory.
Do they really generate heat, perhaps by tap-
ping the chi energy? Perhaps we can learn
from the ancients, revive their science, and
combine it with our own, developing a new
approach to the New Age.

PYRAMID PLANNING
Continued from Page 33
most scholars felt it was highly unlikely that
the great pyramid builders would have used
other measures. The Egyptian Royal cubit
represented the forearm of the pharaoh and
was divided into 7 palms. The latter was di-
vided into 4 fingers or digits.
In the early 1880s, when W.H. Flinders
Petrie traveled to Giza, he was the first truly
modern archaeologist to study the Great Pyr-
amid. His measurements on the Giza plateau
in general, and on the Great Pyramid in par-
ticular, are so accurate, that they remain, to
this day, the main source of measurements
used. Based on Petrie’s measurements, it is
now established that the exact length of an
Egyptian Royal cubit, as used for the Great
Pyramid, was 52.355 cm.
To measure angles, the Egyptians used
the ‘rise and run’ method, where a seked is
the horizontal distance run for every 1 Rc
rise (7 palms). The seked of the slope of
Khufu’s pyramid is 5 palms, 2 fingers run,
for every one Rc rise. Likewise, the seked of
the slightly steeper Khafre pyramid is 5
palms, 1 finger. The seked was used to define
most pyramid slopes in the Old Kingdom.
Researchers have looked in vain for the
tools used at the building site to implement
this angle of slope. In his new paper, Bryn
argues that the seked was most probably
used on the drawing board and not at the
building site. This specific rise and run had
to be translated into other means of preci-
sion when transferred to a building site.
“The only precise ‘tool’ available to the Egyp-
tians on this scale,” says Bryn, “was gravity.
It has always worked.” And in his paper, Bryn
shows how it was possible for the pyramids
to reach the elusive apex point using nothing
more than a plumb line and a string.
Apex Point Key
Bryn has studied the plans from the 30
oldest Egyptian pyramids, and uncovered a
system of precision that could have made it
possible for the Egyptians to reach the pyr-
amid’s last and highest point, the apex, with
an impressive degree of accuracy. By ex-
ploring and making a plan of the pyramid, it
is possible to prepare modern project docu-
mentation of not just one, but all, pyramids
from any given period.
“The building grid,” says Bryn, “was prob-
ably necessary in order for the apex point of
the pyramid to be established, with the apex
point itself being a true grid point.” The py-
ramidion is the last piece of masonry placed
on site, but that point must have been built
into the project documentation during the
entire time span of the monument’s erec-
tion. One may even claim that the entire
building’s purpose was to reach that singular
point. By focusing on the grid rather than
the building itself, it is possible to retrace
the architectural drawings showing the in-
ternal structure and thereby explain the pyr-
amid’s advanced geometry.
“As long as the architect knows the main
dimensions of a pyramid, he can project the
building as he would have done it with a
modern building but with building methods
and measurements known from ancient
Egypt,” says Bryn.
The Core
“The need for a structure to rise with the
grid is obvious,” he adds. When putting in
place the curtain wall on a skyscraper, the
precision is already (hopefully) in place
within the concrete and steel core.
A step pyramid is ideal to raise a grid. We
know from the earliest third dynasty step
pyramids in Egypt that they were built with
accreditation walls or layers. In those early
pyramids the accreditation layers were tilted
inwards at an angle. The tilting was probably
done to support temporary ramps from step
to step and/or to provide structural stability.
Each part of the pyramid between two
steps is referred to as a ‘mastaba.’ Each ac-
creditation wall or layer formed one step of
the step pyramid and defined the base of the
next mastaba by reducing the height of the
wall layer by layer.
To this day, the interior or core of
Khufu’s pyramid is hidden from view by the
preserved masonry. Most archaeologists,
however, believe that the pyramid is com-
prised of horizontally laid masonry with the
same height of the masonry visible on the
surface today. The core of Khufu’s great pyr-
amid, Bryn believes, is most probably a step
pyramid.
This step pyramid was used to transfer
the pyramid’s precision system, the building
grid, vertically; and the blocks seen today are
backing blocks that do not necessarily align
with those of the underlying mastaba. Bryn
argues that the accreditation walls forming
the stepped core of a true pyramid are made
with horizontally laid masonry. (One excep-
tion is the Meidum pyramid which started
out as a step pyramid with tilted masonry.)
The Egyptians most probably used the
base of each mastaba for measuring the face
of the finished pyramid. “It is quite possible,”
says Bryn, “that it was the mastabas which
were first carefully geographically aligned
North-South, and not the baseline we see
today.” Note that the grid points used to
measure out to the face of the pyramid would
have been placed at the base, and not the top,
of each mastaba.
By erecting walls with horizontally laid
masonry, they could introduce tolerance be-
tween the accreditation layers, thereby trans-
ferring the building grid vertically from mas-
taba to mastaba with a plumb line. The
outlines of each accreditation wall were care-
fully measured out on top of each mastaba.
Those lines and point could now be adjusted
using the 3-4-5 triangle and the diagonal.
Those lines represented the building grid.

experience, and does so through the unique
quantification of its qualities. This cosmic
and anthropic “new science” understanding
of man puts forth the same principles that
were built into the architecture of Luxor’s
Temple of Amun-Mut-Khonsu.
The temple was not about the piety of a
man but our solar legacy as the philosophical
“Divine Man” portrayed in the great statues
of Ramses—the birth of the sun. The temple
was (and is) a form of communication, a
lesson, and at its core its builders’ philosophy
is carved in stone. Amun, Mut, and Khonsu
were not “gods” in the Western religious
sense, but principles that form and explain
the nature of mankind as coherently as such
an abstract subject can be explained.
The definition of man and the story of
the human experience were built into the
temple architecture. Physically, the temple
describes the structure of man, from the im-
portance of the femur in the creation of
blood cells, to the role of the pineal gland in
the brain. Spiritually, the temple conveys
life’s cosmic drama and man’s spiritual im-
mortality. Amun was the “Hidden One” or
the “Invisible One,” best described today as
the Western concept of God, omnipotent
and omnipresent, or, from a scientific view-
point, the energy field that pervades all that

 The Uroboros, however, is not just an an-
cient mythical symbol, nor is it the fabri-
cated imagery of the primitive mind. Rather,
it is man’s identification with the seamless,
eternal state of oneness whose essence is a
deep memory of an origin that words cannot
explain and has to be understood through es-
otericism. As such, the Uroboros’ esotericism
is as valid today as it was at the dawn of man.
Spiritual Technology of Ancient Egypt
The Western worldview has a long history
of separating the physical from the concep-
tual, the scientific from the religious. So to-
gether, spirituality and technology appear
contradictory. This contradiction, however,
is based on a naïve and exoteric view of
“spirit” and “technology.”
Spirit is not some immeasurable, meta-
physical thing. Rather, Spirit is the driving
force behind the human experience, the
quest for knowledge, and the building power
of civilization that can be measured by
achievement. Technology is mankind’s ap-
plication of knowledge into industry that
provides for the civilization’s well being.
Technology, which is the application of sci-
ence into civil practicalities, is also the
building power of civilization.
Even though technology’s final product
is most evident, it is the spirit of man that
turns ideas into concepts, and concepts into
knowledge, which through engineering bril-
liance, turns science into technology and
makes life more efficient and comfortable.
Every product ever made began with
someone’s inspiration and creativity. So,
spirit and technology are really different as-
pects of the same human endeavor.
The desire to know inspires us, and the
ever-increasing level of knowledge and tech-
nology has allowed us to reach new levels in
understanding our state of existence—but
what might have inspired the ancient Egyp-
tians? Schwaller de Lubicz believed that an-
cient Egypt was the legacy of a technical civ-
ilization of which there is no history or
knowledge in today’s world, a civilization for
which spirit and technology were integrated
into a worldview that embraced life’s mys-
tery. For me, it is this technical and spiritual
legacy that is so evident in the art and cul-
ture of ancient Egypt.
The spiritual technology of ancient Egypt
expounds upon the works of Schwaller de Lu-
bicz and tells the untold story behind the
birth of the Western religious tradition. The
Egyptian Mysteries, as they were called, in-
spired greatness in men who instilled the
concept of the Anthropocosm into our own
sacred literature, and it is the same philo-
sophical understanding of nature that is at
the forefront of today’s “new science”;
whether symbolized by the Uroboros or
Schrödinger’s wave equation, human con-
sciousness exists as a local manifestation of a
self-perceiving universe.

I experienced everything of that inter-
relationship between Tom Sawyer and that
man that day. I experienced unbelievable
things about that man that are of a very per-
sonal, confidential, and private nature.”
Carl
Gustav
Jung
Although he does not refer to it as a life
review, Carl Gustav Jung, the eminent Swiss
psychiatrist, told of something very similar
in describing a near-death experience he had
in 1944 after breaking his foot and then
having a heart attack. “It was as if I now car-
ried along with me everything I had ever ex-
perienced or done, everything that had hap-
pened around me,” he wrote. “I might also
say: it was with me, and I was it. I consisted
of all that, so to speak. I consisted of my own
history, and I felt with great certainty: this is
what I am. ‘I am this bundle of what has
been, and what has been accomplished.’ ”
Jung went on to say that he felt certain
that he was about to enter an illuminated
room and then understand the historical
nexus of his life and what would come after.
However, his vision ceased as he returned to
earthly consciousness.
Nearly a century before Dr. Raymond
Moody and other researchers began studying
the NDE, Theosophy, the mystical philos-
ophy emerging from the teachings of mystic
Helena P. Blavatsky, recognized the life re-
view. “At the solemn moment of death every
man, even when death is sudden, sees the
whole of his past life marshaled before him,
in its minutest details,” Blavatsky wrote in
the Key to Theosophy, first published in
1889. “For one short instant the personal be-
comes one with the individual and all-
knowing Ego. But this instant is enough to
show to him the whole chain of causes which
have been at work during his life. He sees
and now understands himself as he is, una-
dorned by flattery or self-deception. He reads
his life, remaining as a spectator, looking
down into the arena he is quitting.”
After his death in 1901, pioneering
psychical researcher Frederic W. H.
Myers communicated extensively
through several mediums, including
Geraldine Cummins of Ireland. Myers
referred to the period immediately
after death as Hades and “The Play of
the Shadow Show.” Through Cum-
mins, he said that this period varies
considerably from individual to indi-
vidual, but generally after the soul is
greeted by deceased loved ones, it expe-
riences a semi-suspended conscious-
ness and sees fragmentary happenings
of the life just lived. “He watches this
changing show as a man drowsily
watches a shimmering sunny land-
scape on a midsummer day,” Myers ex-
plained. “He is detached and apart,
judging the individual who participates
in these experiences, judging his own
self with aid of the Light from Above.”
Myers further explained that while
this is taking place, the etheric or
spirit body is loosening itself from the
“husk” and when the judgment is com-
pleted, generally after three to four
days, the soul takes flight and resumes
full consciousness.
The Rev. William Stainton Moses,
an Anglican priest, developed the
ability to communicate with spirits and
put many questions to an apparently
advanced spirit called Imperator. One of the
questions he asked was whether there is a
general judgment. “No,” was the response.
“The judgment is complete when the spirit
gravitates to the home which it has made for
itself. There can be no error. It is placed by
the eternal law of fitness. That judgment is
complete, until the spirit is fitted to pass to a
higher sphere, when the same process is re-
peated, and so on and on until the purgato-
rial spheres of work are done with, and the
soul passes within the inner heaven of con-
templation.”
Imperator informed Moses that the soul
is the arbiter of its own destiny and that the
“sentence” it imposes upon itself is based on
the character it has built up by its earthly
acts.
In 1853, Dr. Robert Hare, a renowned in-
ventor and an emeritus professor of chem-
istry at the University of Pennsylvania med-
ical school, commenced an investigation of
mediums with the intent of debunking them.
However, he was soon converted to Spiritu->

Lastly, they might have been moved into the
tomb of a French Huguenot who is buried in
the Canterbury Cathedral.
It was the Canterbury theory which in-
spired Peregrine and Risto. During the
height of the Catholic persecution of Hugue-
nots, the French Cardinal Odet de Coligny
was forced to flee to England. The Cardinal

nots. The unusual placement of his tomb in
the Cathedral may have been in the secret
hiding place where Becket’s bones survived
the 1558 desecration. This tomb is plain, not
adorned with jewels as was Becket’s. And it is
wedged at an irregular angle between two
pillars very close to Becket’s original shrine
in the Trinity Chapel. Did the Archbishop
and the Cardinal share a tomb? Is it possible
the Cardinal’s bones were repatriated back to
France? The Protestant French Church
never made a request for the bones, which to
some is suspicious.
This is the theory according to the
Raiders of the Lost Bones, Peregrine Prescott
and Risto Pronk. They claimed that Coligny’s
death had been faked, that the Cardinal had
actually returned to France alive and well.
The story was a ruse that served two pur-
poses: the Cardinal’s safety, and Becket’s
bones had their hiding place. It also explains
the reluctance of the Church in France to re-
quest the return of the bones. The Church,
said the defendants, already knows. In fact
the amount of research they presented in de-
fense of their actions was unexpected. “This
is the most remarkable explanation that we
have heard in this court,” declared the
chairman of the magistrates bench. Prescott
and Pronk convinced the judge that what-
ever they were up to, it was no mere bur-
glary.

intelligence objectives. During the Iran Hos-
tage Crisis (1979-1981) under the Carter Ad-
ministration, remote viewing was success-
fully utilized to identify American hostages
and their locations, as well as potential es-
cape routes. In his book, White House Diary
(2010), Jimmy Carter mentions the suc-
cessful use of parapsychology-based intelli-
gence, stating, “The proven results of these
exchanges between our intelligence services
and parapsychologists raise some of the most
intriguing and unanswerable questions of my
presidency . . . They defy logic, but the facts
are undeniable.” (Quoted from a Politico ar-
ticle, by Patrick Gavin, posted on the In-
ternet 20 October 2010.)
If there is scientific evidence supporting
the reality of parapsychological phenomena,
and more importantly that it actually works,
as testified to by a former U.S. president, why
did the government stop funding such
studies? Why is parapsychology held in such
low regard by the scientific community and
the public at large? Why is there so much
disinformation about the subject? Shouldn’t
substantial funds be put into such a para-
digm-breaking subject?
I believe the “problem” with parapsy-
chology is indeed its paradigm-breaking as-
pect. The data of parapsychology suggest the
possibility that mind can exist and operate
independent of matter, that consciousness is
a force or entity unto itself that can interact
with other consciousnesses and also directly
affect the material world. These concepts
strike at the very foundations of a material-
istic, progressive worldview, where every-
thing can be explained by a combination of
physical forces mixed with random accidents.
The status quo “scientific” worldview typi-
cally leaves no room for a dualism between
spirit and matter, nor even acknowledges the
concept of spirit or soul as having an objec-
tive reality. To make matters worse, parapsy-
chology takes seriously such issues as the
possibility of an afterlife, discarnate spirits,
and the idea of consciousness (at some level)
pervading all of life and the universe.
It would seem that everything parapsy-
chology studies, and finds evidence for,
threatens the status quo currently benefiting
those in charge. Modern society is built on
materialism and consumerism; those with
the most money have the most influence (be
it in politics, business, or otherwise), and
reap the material benefits of society. They
want to keep it that way. Superficially it
might appear that the relationship of para-
psychology to religion would be more ami-
cable, but such is not the case when it comes
to many mainstream churches. Based on
subservience to a god, with the intermedi-
aries between the god and the everyday
public being the officials of the church, there
is little room for freedom of thought when it
comes to the nature of spiritual beings, con-

The Global Consciousness Project is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998, described as an attempt to detect potential interactions of "global
consciousness" with physical systems. The project uses a geographically distributed network of hardware random number generators to uncover

sciousness, and our souls. The dogma of the
church (whichever church) should prevail
and be accepted on blind faith without scru-
tiny.
While parapsychology is an example of a
field shunned and disparaged by the main-
stream, an example of a paradigm and dogma
currently favored by the establishment scien-
tific community is global climate change.
The consensus view is that Earth is warming,
with potentially disastrous consequences,
and the primary culprit is human activity. In
many scientific circles, to even suggest that
this may not be the entire story is to face
harsh consequences—loss of grant funding,
diminished prestige, being passed over for
promotion, inability to publish one’s data
and views.
The American Physical Society, like many
other scientific societies, has gone on record
as supporting the reality of global warming,
stating (language adopted by APS Council on
18 November 2007):
“Emissions of greenhouse gases
from human activities are
changing the atmosphere in ways
that affect the Earth’s climate. . . .
The evidence is incontrovertible:
Global warming is occurring.
If no mitigating actions are taken,
significant disruptions in the
Earth’s physical and ecological
See Our Great 8-page Catalog Beginning on Page 74
systems, social systems, security
and human health are likely to
occur. We must reduce emissions
of greenhouse gases beginning
now.
Because the complexity of the cli-
mate makes accurate prediction
difficult, the APS urges an en-
hanced effort to understand the
effects of human activity on the
Earth’s climate, and to provide
the technological options for
meeting the climate challenge in
the near and longer terms. . . .”
Of course such statements issued by a
mainstream scientific organization become
dogma virtually equivalent to papal encycli-
cals. They form the basis and rationale for in-
vesting major financial resources in the
topic—in this case global warming.
Recently charges of academic misconduct
on the part of climate change proponents
made the news with the scandal dubbed “Cli-
mateGate.” In November 2009 over a thou-
sand emails and several thousand documents
were released by a hacker, acquired from a
server used by the Climate Research Unit of
the University of East Anglia. Allegations in-
cluded the withholding of data, manipula-
tion of data to support global warming sce-
narios, exaggeration of the certainty of the
data supporting global warming, suppression
of dissenting opinions, and plotting to re-
move people from influential positions (such
as journal editors) who disagree with climate
change dogma. Subsequent investigations
into these charges have neither fully sup-
ported the allegations nor totally exonerated
the individuals involved, but they have en-
gendered strong feelings and exposed just
how vested the interests are and how much
money can be at stake.
On 6 October 2010, Harold Lewis (Emer-
itus Professor of Physics, University of Cali-
fornia, Santa Barbara) sent a letter to the
president of APS, resigning in disgust from
the society he had first joined 67 years ear-
lier. Professor Lewis asserts that the APS
(and by extension, much of mainstream sci-
ence) has been corrupted by money. To
quote him,
“. . . the money flood has become
the raison d’être of much physics
research, the vital sustenance of
much more, and it provides the
support for untold numbers of
professional jobs. . . . It is of
course, the global warming scam,
with the (literally) trillions of dol-
lars driving it, that has corrupted
so many scientists, and has carried
APS before it like a rogue wave. It
is the greatest and most successful
pseudoscientific fraud I have seen
in my long life as a physicist.
Anyone who has the faintest doubt
that this is so should force himself >

to read the ClimateGate doc-

uments, which lay it bare.”

Even if one disagrees with Pro-

fessor Lewis that global warming is the
“most successful pseudoscientific
fraud,” his point that money drives
much of modern science must be ac-
knowledged. Those who control the
money influence the science, both in
terms of which topics are researched
and, it would appear in at least some
instances, the conclusions that are
reached.
Here I am not judging the sides in
the global warming debate. Personally,
I am convinced that the bulk of the evi-
dence indicates that Earth is warming.
However, it appears to me that both
natural and artificial factors are in-
volved, and it is difficult to disentangle
the two. Nature is not as simple as
some people’s thinking may be. This is

The modern day practices of Tai Chi and
Chi Kung are still connected to their Sha-

cific animal totems such as the forms of
Soaring Crane or Turtle Longevity. The early

with the state of consciousness or the spirit
with which it was associated. Probably in
each different form of these martial arts, an
individual had an initial spontaneous expres-
sion of that spirit. That individual and their
followers continued to access that spirit or
energy by recreating the discovered form.
Each form has its own characters and quali-
ties. In a shamanistic sense, the spirit dance
can imbue the individual with superhuman
strength, healing abilities, or spiritual
clarity. In the case of the group trance dance,
those that embody the spirit might bring
back some vision or wisdom for the tribe.
There is some interesting research which
explores some of the mechanisms of gesture
and posture. Certain nerve cells in the lower
temporal lobe of our brains are dedicated ex-
clusively to responding to hand positions and
shapes. This area of the brain is very active in
infants. The site of these cells, deep in a rela-
tively primitive part of the brain, suggests
that the gesture may predate words in evolu-
tionary history as a means of human expres-
sion. Evolutionary linguist Sherman Wilcox
speculates that “Language emerged through
bodily action before becoming codified in
speech.” Other researchers have shown that
when people perform actions, they re-
member those actions better if they gesture
while they are talking about the actions they
did.
The neurological cluster becomes less im-
portant as our ability to talk increases in
early childhood, but it remains connected to
the expressive movement of our bodies. Ges-
tures precede our speech, even before we are
conscious of our own thoughts or what we’re
going to be saying. Hand movements and, for
that matter, all matter of body movements,
occur first, as thoughts in the brain emerge
as images and feelings. Because gestures
don’t pass through the left-brain language
filters, they can be connected to deeper, un-
conscious expressions, perceptions and ca-
pacities which would explain their use in
spiritual practices.
We often use gestures to bring thoughts,
feelings, and memories more to the surface
of our awareness, just as a meditator might
use them to invoke a state of awareness.
Have you ever held the palm of your hand

bally or squeezed your hand or your finger
tips together trying to formulate a thought?
You might also pull your head back with a
jerk, saying “No” physically with the body be-
fore being able to say “No” verbally.
Researchers have noted how gestures

help speakers formulate coherent speech by
aiding in the retrieval of elusive words from
their memory. The linguist David McNeill re-
fers to gestures as an actual form of thought,
not just an expression of thought but as a
cognitive process whereby we can realize
meaning without ever expressing it verbally.
The experience of the physical might be crit-
ical to rounding out the fullness of what is
being learned.
The embodiment is what is being actual-
ized by the Shaman, the Chi Kung master or
the Yogi. There is an intention in these prac-
tices to embody and communicate certain
ineffable spiritual ideals that cannot be un-
derstood just from verbal language. Can you
feel a change in your being when you shift
from arms crossed on your chest to the
palms together Namaste gesture? In that felt
sensation you may be tapping into some-
thing that can’t be grasped cognitively. If
you notice how it calms your mind and puts
you into a state where you are more con-
nected with ‘the divine within,’ then you
may choose to use this gesture when you are
in conflict with someone.
Another way you can experience the mys-
tery of this body/mind connection is when
you awaken from sleep in the morning after
dreaming. Often when we wake, we lose the
memory of our dreams. This can be frus-
trating when you are trying to recall your
dreams. You can notice, though, if you
change your body position when you wake.
You may be lying on your side when
sleeping, then roll to your back when you
awaken. If you want to remember the dream
you can simply turn your body back to the
position you were in when sleeping and let
the felt sense of that posture come back.
Often, dream images and memories will re-
turn with this shift.
The intention of the mudras and some of
the asanas in yoga is to place the body in a
configuration that induces and reinforces a

specific state of consciousness. The shape of
the pose or posture acts as a doorway into
the expression of that awareness. This is
something many people do unconsciously.
You might cross your arms over your chest
to feel more safe and secure, or you might
hold your palm to your heart when you want
to feel more compassion. These seemingly
spontaneous gestures shift your conscious-
ness. This is one reason teachers suggest you
sit with your spine straight when you medi-
tate. The collective wisdom of meditators
from many countries suggests that posture
helps to calm and clear the mind.
A kind of morphic resonance may also be
present in sacred mudras and postures. Ru-
pert Sheldrake proposed the idea of morphic
fields of information. These are fields of in-
formation that are created any time organ-
isms do a specific kind of behavior. With
these fields, the experience becomes access-
ible by the same kinds of organisms at a later
date. If enough people have sat straight in
meditation or held a particular mudra in
their hands while having a spiritual experi-
ence, then it may be that others tap into this
powerful field of information when they as-
sume the same posture. This collective
memory might partially explain why specific
postures and mudras evoke certain experi-
ences. There may also be an activation of the
nervous and energetic systems in our bodies
when we take specific postures. Although we
have the higher intellect and self-reflective
consciousness of humans, we are still housed
in animal bodies with concrete physical sys-
tems.
Gestures and mudras can also express
themselves spontaneously. In India, individ-
uals have been known to suddenly drop from
walking into the seated pose and lapse into a
unified state. Some say that it is the awak-
ening of the Kundalini energy at the base of
the spine that causes a meditator to suddenly
assume an erect posture or even visibly
shake. An interesting correlate to this expres-
sion of kundalini occurs in some people who
are experiencing Grof’s Holotropic breath-
work. In this process, which induces a trans-
formative altered state, it is common to have
a regressive experience where a person can
physically revisit early birth experiences.
When this happens, their hands and feet con-
strict in ways that babies do at that phase of
their development.
In a more overt way, we communicate
through our gestures much more of what we
are thinking and feeling than we are con-
sciously aware. Recently some researchers
have studied the speech of politicians and
noted how they gesture with their dominant
side more frequently when they’re speaking
about something they judge as ‘good’ or ‘pos-
itive.’ It seems the dominant side is used
more to say “Yes.” Psychologically, this may
be related to the Jungian concept of shadow,
where our unexpressed or negative parts are
expressed in less dominant ways. People who
are good at reading others have learned to
watch these subtle subconscious cues to de-
termine if someone is lying or telling the
truth. Body workers refer to this connection >

Today, the International Committee on Ball
Lightning holds regular symposia on the
subject in Russia—most recently, 2008, in
Kaliningrad—each year.
Forms of ball lightning have been pro-
duced under scientifically controlled condi-
tions, but the nature of these experiments is
so diverse nothing definite can be concluded
from them. German researchers at the Max
Planck Institute for Physics, in Munich, dis-
charged a high-voltage capacitor in a tank of
water to create a ball lightning-type effect. It
has been similarly reproduced by Israeli sci-
entists, Eli Jerby and Vladimir Dikhtyar, who
simply placed a lit match in a common,
home microwave oven (“Creating the fourth
state of matter with microwaves by Halina
Stanley,” www.scienceinschool.org, 13 Au-
gust 2009). At sudden, high temperatures,
the match flared into a large fireball, above
which “plasma balls” floated near the ceiling
of the oven chamber.
In the early 1980s, an American physicist
created identical phenomena by gradually ap-
plying pressure to slabs of granite. Just as the
specimens broke and disintegrated, tiny orbs
of electric light—mostly deep blue—flew
from the rock, as revealed by high-speed
cameras.
These experiments prove nothing, save
that ball lightning exists and can be repro-
duced under a variety of circumstances. They
seem to have little if anything to do with the
stormy or at least rainy conditions during
which most instances of ball lightning are re-
ported. To be sure, the encounter we experi-
enced on September 16 lacked most of the
known features that characterize ball light-
ning. Other than its apparent association
with that evening’s weather conditions, it
never moved and left no sulphurous scent.
All my research into the phenomenon un-
covered no parallel to its physical appear-

comparison of both accepted and anomalous evidence for
human evolution stunned scientists by showing that exten-
sive anomalous evidence stands up equally well, if not
better, than accepted evidence.

been digging up documented,
credible findings that mainstream
archeologists don’t want you to
NEW! know about—discoveries in the
fossil record that tell a completely
different story from Darwinian evo-
lution. This collection of 49 articles published in Atlantis
Rising magazine is like the Cliff Notes on his best-selling,
encyclopedic “Forbidden Archeology” and formidable
“Human Devolution.” Readers will quickly understand the
strongest arguments and remarkable discoveries that reveal
evolution as a failing theory.

FORBIDDEN HISTORY:
Extraterrestrial
Intervention,
Prehistoric
Technologies, and the
Suppressed Origins of
Civilization
Edited by J. Douglas Kenyon
In 42 articles from Atlantis
Rising, Kenyon has carefully built
a compelling collection of mate-
rial in support of today's growing
challenge to such outmoded ways of thinking as Darwinism
and Creationism. What emerges is a thoughtful case for a
much greater antiquity for civilization, as well as a con-
vincing argument for the existence of advanced technolo-
gies in pre-history. Through it all appears the vast, yet un-
mistakable, outline of a lost fountainhead for world culture.

FORBIDDEN RELIGION: Suppressed
Heresies of the West Edited by J. Douglas
Kenyon—Following the model of his bestselling Forbidden
History, Kenyon has assembled from the pages of Atlantis
Rising material that explores the hidden path of the relig-
ions banned by the orthodox Church from the time before
Christ when the foundations of Christianity were being laid
to the tumultuous times of the Cathars and Templars and
the Masons of the New World. Revealed are the intimate
ties of ancient Egyptian religion to Christianity, the true
identities of the three magi, the link forged by the Tem-
plars between early Christianity and the Masons.

FORBIDDEN SCIENCE:
From Ancient
Technologies to Free
Energy
Edited by J. Douglas Kenyon-
Kenyon has assembled
from Atlantis Rising Maga-
zine, material that explores
science and technology
that has been suppressed
by the orthodox scientific
community—from the
true function of the Great
Pyramid and the megaliths at Nabta Playa to Im-
manuel Velikovsky’s astronomical insights, free
energy from space, cold fusion, and Rupert Shel-
drake’s research into telepathy and ESP. From
Tesla’s discovery of alternating current to Robert
Schoch’s re-dating of the Sphinx, this book serves
as a compelling introduction to the true history of
alternative and New Science research. (Available

GODDESSES FOR EVERY DAY Julie Loar (as-
trology columnist for Atlantis Rising) A collection of 366
goddesses, diverse examples of the Divine Feminine
through time and across cultures. “In Western culture we
have devalued, even demonized, aspects of the feminine for
nearly four thousand years, effectively pushing these
archetypes beneath our conscious awareness,” Loar writes.
The book is arranged as a circle, a meditative journey
through the year, with the goddesses organized within the
seasonal cycles. Each day introduces a new goddess, her
myth, and her meaning as a sacred feminine presence and
guide in our daily lives.

with the same accuracy the
events regarding His return
and Earth’s Great Millennium.
This cosmological clock ticks off the years and ages and re-
veals an amazing pattern of time. In Genesis we were told
that the Earth, Sun, and Moon were to be for “signs, for
seasons, for days, and for years.” The cosmological clock,
based on the dimensions of Earth, Sun and Moon, reveals
those signs, seasons, days, and years with magnificent pre-
cision.

Philip H. Talbert—This book provides us with hope that
another half-life for this important technology for gener-

enslavement by the “fossil fuel masters” and their political
“puppets.”

HISTORY IS WRONG Erich Von Daniken—
After closely analyzing hundreds of ancient, and
apparently unrelated texts, Von Daniken is now
ready to proclaim that human history is nothing
like religions claim and he has proof! He looks at
the Voynich manuscript, which has defied all at-
tempts at decryption since its discovery, and
makes some intriguing revelations about the
equally incredible Book of Enoch. He also un-
earths the astounding story of a lost subterranean
labyrinth in Ecuador that is said to be home to an
extensive library of thousands of gold panels.

HISTORY’S MYSTERIES Brian Haughton—
This is an absorbing and meticulously researched explora-
tion of the archaeology, history, and mysteries of 35 an-
cient places worldwide. Using the latest archaeological evi-
dence, History’s Mysteries explores: The incredible
archaeological discoveries at the 11,000-year-old sanctuary
of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey; the heated debate over the 47-
million-year-old ‘Ida Fossil’—could it be the missing link
in our evolutionary history?—the reality behind controver-
sial ancient artifacts such as the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the
Oak Island Treasure, and Egypt’s “Dendera Lamps; what
really happened to the Neanderthals.

 DOES GOD EXIST?
A Debate Between Christopher
Hitchens and William Lane
Craig
On April 4, 2009, Craig and
Hitchens met at Biola Univer-
sity to debate the question of
God’s existence. Craig is one of
the world’s foremost Christian
HOT! apologists. Hitchens is a leading
spokesman for the “new
atheism” movement. In front of
an overflow crowd and a global internet audience, they de-
bated the origin and design of the universe, the implica-
tions of human morality, the deity of Jesus, and the va-
lidity of Christ’s resurrection. It was a compelling clash of
worldviews and an examination of the major arguments
for and against Christianity and atheism. This two-DVD set
captures every moment of the debate (documented by 10
cameras). Bonus features include the pre-debate press con-
ference, a question-and-answer session, and interviews
with Hitchens and Craig.

EGYPT EXPOSED:
An Interview with
Robert Bauval
Philip Gardiner
Robert Bauval (The Orion
Mystery) is a construction en-
gineer with a long-standing
interest in Egypt and the Pyra-
mids, having lived in Egypt
and the Middle East for much
of his life; was actually born
and spent his entire childhood
there. He is also the author of various ground-breaking
books which challenge the way we perceive Egypt’s ancient
past, with particular respect to its dynastic race’s knowl-
edge of astronomy and the celestial alignment of its monu-
ments. Bauval discusses how all of Egypt (not just the Pyr-
amids) was built to mirror the sun and the star
constellations in the sky.

EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed
Ben Stein—Big science has expelled smart ideas from the
classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has
its rebel! That rebel, Ben Stein, travels the world on his
quest and learns an awe inspiring truth—that educators
and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure, and even
fired for merely believing that there might be evidence of
“design” in nature. Perhaps life is not just the result of ac-
cidental, random chance. In the film Ben says,
“Enough”—and NOBODY messes with Ben!
