In this essay, sex is a verb and gender is a noun.

For the last two thousand years or so, homosexuality has generally been ‘brushed under the carpet’ in an effort for societies to be ‘respectable’ and ‘moral’. But in present times suppression does not work. The technological ‘information revolution’ has lifted the lid of this particular Pandora’s box as it has many others.

The Church of England is presently debating the male / female duality with regard to marriage, and whether same gender marriages, should be sanctioned by the Church. The best the Church can suggest is to give a ‘blessing in church’ to gay couples. But such a lame offering, satisfies neither the lawyers nor the couples in question. A better solution, it seems to me, is to invent a word. After all, words cost nothing and there are plenty out there ready to fit new ideas. I would therefore humbly suggest that gay couples are ‘parried’ and straight couples are ‘married’. In these words I am using the Latin stem words ‘pater’ and ‘mater’. Parried will mean a legal contract with partner, with all the rights, privileges and duties, contained in marriage.

The net result of the adoption of this word, would give the dignity, equality and legal status that gay couples demand and enable church leaders and lawyers to sit back and stop trying to fit an egg into match box.

The issue interestingly raises the question; how are Western societies adapting to issues around gender and sexuality? Clearly they have risen above the hypocrisy, secrecy, guilt and shame, that was prevalent in say, Victorian England. We find in societies around the world, condemnation has been applied to homosexuality and most religions have not always embraced the question to the satisfaction of all parties.

In modern western societies, the sexual freedoms of the 1960’s contributed to the general demand for acceptance of consensual sexual behaviour with few boundaries. Whilst LGBT rights have been slowly engaged by law makers in liberal democracies, certain more conservative institutions and governments have resisted the change.

It is most likely however that eventually, however hard they try, ‘the truth will out’ and it is to this truth that I shall now turn.

Humans, in common with animals, insects and plants, have two general body forms; male and female. Carl G. Jung proposed that the mind of a male had a feminine aspect (the anima) and the mind of a female had a male aspect (the animus). Just as different gender bodies are simultaneously the same and different, the mind is also. In the Eastern traditions, in which Jung was well versed, the mind is completely integrated with the body so this idea is obvious, and today is accepted more generally by western physicians.

A homosexual male may express his femininity in a manner crudely described as ‘camp’; others may not to the same degree. But expression of feminitiy by a male, such as the use of facial make up and brightly coloured clothing, are a fun and harmless expression of self.

In some cases a feeling of disfunctional gender identity, in both males and female, can become so overpowering that the person wishes to change gender. Even very young children, who are totally unaware of what sex is but not gender, can feel they were born into the wrong body and become very unhappy.

What I am building up to is asking the question of those with spiritual authority, such as the Church of England Synod, ‘where have you been?‘ Do these ‘councillors’ and ‘shepherds’ really have so little knowledge of the complexity of human feelings, including in their own. Celibacy in church leaders has been another harmful mechanism merely to ‘brush sex under the carpet’ with the result of sexual expression that has caused harm to others.

Celibacy is a gnostic practice in the East and West, based on raising the life force within the human body for spiritual enlightenment. Ignorantly copying the practice at a superficial level, is like sitting on the back of a Tiger.

Christian clerics and scholars today are having to grapple with the question; ‘what gender is God?’ Once again, language and a lack of the ability to think outside the existing lexicon, made religious scholars and law makers, recourse to dogma and literal interpretation of ‘scripture’.

But a little research into the history of Christianity will reveal that the original Trinity consisted of the Divine Masculine, the Divine Feminine and the Child. This was translated or became for unknown reasons, the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son respectively. Once again, thoughts were perverted by miss translations at best and the denial of truth at worst. Surely religious truth should provide answers not questions and the words of mystics and gnostics have been repeatedly twisted and misunderstood. The dialogues between Jesus the Christ and his disciples illustrate this process perfectly.

Past religions had in fact, given Christianity the complete concept of the Trinity only with different gods. In Babylon the ‘holy family’ were Semiramis and Nimrod, who gave birth to the Holy Child, Tammuz.

The Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, worship one God, indeed (logically) the same God. So, if God is One, then there can be no question as to what gender God is. God cannot have a gender so does not need a pronoun any more than the sky or moon do. The English language wisely dropped gendered nouns during it’s early development as ‘old English’. The Romantic languages did not do this and curiously these countries where these languages are spoken remained Catholic whilst the Anglo / Germanic countries became Protestant. Perhaps a book has been written about this?!

The ‘Divine Androgynous Unity’ has been expressed in many ways through history most notably by the Alchemists of the middle ages, who represented the two genders as the sun and moon. Human beings had bodies of both genders; somewhat comically being visually split in two, right down the middle. But the message was clear. At a non-physical, non-body, level (that is spirit or life energy) humans become complete and transform when their spiritual gender becomes as-God; neutral…Unified.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans, sometimes produced statues of gods and works of art where it is almost impossible to tell which gender the body represents. Indeed the ancient Greeks gave us the word ‘hermaphrodite’ to describe this union of opposite genders in one being and lifted the debate about gender from the physical to the spiritual.

Perhaps you agree that in modern times, there seems to be a general trend towards androgynous beings? Contemporary men have less sperm and testosterone and their voices, in my view, are becoming higher pitched. Artists such as Jason Perry express their own gender ambiguity in appropriate outrageousness and some boys going to school have questioned why they cannot wear skirts. Girls similarly dress in trousers and ties and feel perfectly comfortable. A similar trend is occurring in woman, whose dulcet tones can be heard reading the news or even on the parade ground.

Personally, I believe societies would benefit greatly from observing dispassionately and embracing, this gender neutral transition in all it’s manifestations, whether as sexual preference, gender transformation, religious doctrine or tolerance of gender neutrality.

It is beneficial to remember that gender neutrality in Christianity, produced the ‘immaculate conception of the child’. At a literal and physical level, this concept makes no sense and has to be adopted by the faithful as true only because it is written in a holy book. A more rational approach, ( which the Essenes who instructed Jesus in gnosticism at one time knew), is to interpret ‘the child’ as ‘Divine energy’. They taught gnostic methods of using this energy principally for inner transformation. But in a time when doctors and healers were generally ineffective, natural compassion must have caused Jesus to learn methods to use spiritual energy to heal and even return spirit to bodies that were in the early stages of dying.

The superior nature of ‘the child’ energy over matter, is represented in sacred geometry and architecture. The two smaller doors, openings, towers, flank an identical but scaled up feature which generally, is the practical and symbolic place of entry. In the case of the sacred pillars of Boaz (sun) and Joachim (moon) in Freemasonry imagery and architecture, the space between the pillars is the reality of the sacred energy or ‘light’. The Ancient Egyptian obelisks performed the same purpose in their Temples both metaphorically, and literally. They were power generators, as were the pillars and pyramids.

This is why the ‘holy child’ or ‘holy spirit’ is so significant. The ‘father’ and ‘mother’ are not central in the whole picture. They are depicted in Early Renaissance art in particular, as servants of the child, looking on and holding it with devotion and obedience. The holy child is not wearing a pink or blue outfit as happens in modern times, because children and the spiritual dimension that they represent, are gender neutral.

The ‘sexual’ energy that causes humans so much pleasure and grief is that given by the serpent or dragon. It is a realisation of mortality and a ‘fall’, as depicted in the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where physicality takes over from the Divine and perfect spiritual realm.

They started life naked and sans-gender and on realisation of their gender difference, were ashamed.

Gender in it’s many manifestations has a lot to be responsible for in human life, both through the ages and today. But perhaps at this time of rapid changes, the eye of truth is taking over from the eye of denial. It is a great blessing for humans to express the ‘freewill’ that was given to them, the freedom to love each other, without judgement.

The following is one of many interpretations of the mystery that is the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, Egypt. The fascination thing is that there are many levels of knowledge inherent in it’s construction which do not contradict each other. The creators of the pyramid were able to think multi-dimensionally, that is like a three dimensional chess player. Modern rational thinking usually asks the question, ‘which one is true?’ when the answer is simply, ‘all of them’.

The personal interpretation that I shall discuss in this essay, is how the pyramid creates, attracts and stores static electricity. This is not to ignore electromagnetism, gravity, sound, ‘chi’ and the earth’s magnetic flux, all of which I believe also have a function in the design.

Before making any new theories and dismissing others, it is important to examine and understanding our ‘thought patterns’. Archaeologists present themselves as scientists practising scientific method. This is clearly sometimes true, but regrettably their own specialism has suffered from assumptions, rationalising and political suppression when it comes to Egyptology.

As an example, the most common rationalisation amongst academics, is that pyramids are ‘tombs’. Archaeologists in all fields inevitable come across ancient human remains, but it does not mean the place in which they find them was intended and constructed to be a tomb. A Christian church for instance is usually surrounded by burials, but the church was not built only to bury the dead. It has multiple functions.

Even more glaring in the case of the Great Pyramid of Cheops is that there is no evidence it was a tomb. No bodies were ever found inside and no inscriptions exist on the walls in the manner of other Ancient Egyptian burial sites. In fact burials were conducted in the Valley of the Kings to divert grave robbers from the pyramids.

The so called ‘ventilation shafts’ in the King’s and Queen’s chambers were never intended to ventilate as some academics have suggested. Dead people do not breath.

These are just two examples of how ‘scientific’ myths have been created to explain the unknown. It is what humans do. If something is mysterious, we tend to try to offer an explanation however absurd in order to gain peace of mind.

I have therefore tried to examine what we know about the Great Pyramid with an open mind. Very often the very best clues are those the present the most mystery and this is where I shall begin.

Here is a strange fact. The Ancient Egyptians referred to the pyramid as ‘Ta Khut‘ which means ‘the light’. What are we to make of this as there is no light visible from the outside or inside it? Clearly we are missing some information. In addition, the word ‘pyramid’ means ‘fire in the middle’, giving us a real riddle to unravel.

The most glaring incongruity is the use of pink granite from the quarries of Aswan over 500 miles away, to construct the massive walls of the chamber. This choice is clearly not a decorative aesthetic for which a simple granite lining would have sufficed. There are five granite block courses forming the King’s Chamber walls. Above these are five further stories of granite beams, topped by a limestone gable.

Conventional theory is that this extraordinary construction was to spread the enormous weight of the pyramid above and from earthquakes. Neither of these is correct otherwise the Queens Chamber below and under greater weight above, would have a similar construction. The limestone gable spreads the load as a diagonal vector away from the chambers below.

Now let us consider the selection of the type of rock, that is pink granite. It is piezoelectric; that is, it creates electricity when compressed under extreme weight. It is reasonable then to explore whether this was in any way an intention of the ancient constructors. If electricity was being created by pressure would the granite be able to store it? The answer is yes, as the other characteristic of granite is that it is dielectric, that is it is an insulator that can hold a charge, as in a capacitor.

The third thing we observe about the blocks is the smoothness with which they are built giving perfect contact and conductivity between each block. It has been said that a razor blade can not be inserted into the joints.

Given the massive size of the chamber and the one hundred, over 70 ton granite blocks there could be tens of thousands of volts being generated. Perhaps similar to the voltages carried by the wires of national grids, supported on ‘pylons’ as in the Ancient Egyptian ‘pylon’.

In the King’s Chamber there are two, so called, ‘air shafts’ shown with dotted lines above. This name is yet another assumption by ‘scientists’ which has been repeated without justification. They are not positioned at ceiling height as would any ventilation shaft but at ‘table height’ perhaps for ease of access. They are not continuous so do not admit air. When photographs were taken by exploring robots, a limestone block bars the way. What is most interesting and is largely ignored, are the two copper wires penetrating the block, and the discovery of a length of copper wire in one of the shafts with some cedar wood. If these shafts were intended to carry electricity then two wires would be prudent in case one was broken over time.

Electrical circuits require two polarities and there are two shafts in both chambers. The positive and negative wires (if that is what they were) would be ideally positioned to enter the chamber.

In any electrical circuit we can also expect to see a connection to earth. Sure enough there is the existence of the ‘well shaft’ linking downwards from the Kings Chamber, through the Queen’s Chamber down to the Subterranean Chamber; when viewed looking north in section. It would be interesting to know is any remnants of copper wire or their fixings survive in this shaft.

Finally, a switch would be expected to be found but of course all wires have been removed. But perhaps, if there ever were copper wires, these and the switches have been purloined long ago by thieves. Interestingly, in the King’s Chamber one ‘air shaft’ is horizontal where it goes through the wall with a shallow dome shape above. Could this have been where a switch once was?

The last feature in the King’s Chamber not mentioned so far, is the so called ‘sarcophagus’, an empty, lidless box with no hieroglyphs so is not a tomb. It is moveable; sliding on it’s integral granite base, so may not be in it’s original position. What was this for?

Here I have to introduce the celebrated Ark of the Covenant. The Old Testament story of it’s theft by Moses from the pyramid shows it’s importance. The loss threatened the ‘power’ of the Ancient Egyptian State so much, that the Pharaoh risked and lost an army trying to get it back.

The Ark is 2 ½ cubits long by 1 ½ cubits square in cross section. To enter the Kings Chamber by the low entrance it would have to be smaller and sure enough the entrance is 2 cubits by 2 cubits. This also allows the ‘sarcophagus’ to be slid inside as well, just.

The Ark could then be place on the sides of the ‘sarcophagus’ and sure enough it does this neatly with outside edge sitting in the centre of the 6 inch thick sarcophagus wall.

The next part of our theory requires the understanding of a ‘Leyden jar’. The image below amply describes how a static charge is built up and discharged in a glass jar.

There is a physicist on You Tube who explains very well how the Ark operated as a large Leyden jar and I direct the ready to this link;

The two angels on the lid lean towards each other and their wing tips almost touch leaving a ‘spark gap’ as you would have at the end of a spark plug in an internal combustion petrol engine.

There are accounts in the Old Testament of the Ark being dangerous and able to emit light and smoke. We have to wonder what unique characteristics of the Ark produced this?

Is there a clue in the name? Is an electrical ‘arc’ why it was appropriately named ‘Ark‘?These ancient descriptions suggest a high voltage discharge of static electricity, similar to lightning, causing the air to be super heated. The effect in an enclosed space would have been awe inspiring! No surprise that the Ark is described as the ‘eye of God’.

Any priest entering the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle, would have a rope tied around one leg. This was because if he was knocked unconscious or killed by the Ark, his body could be retrieved without risk to others. The Ark was even used in battle in some manner according to the biblical story of the fall of Jericho. The accounts suggest it’s function was beyond purely ceremonial.

I hypothesise that the entire King’s Chamber is also a Leyden Jar. I have described the necessary elements already. The granite walls and ceiling are the equivalent to the glass in the jar. Granite has a relative permittivity of 5.45 and glass between 3.7 to 10. Copper wires, which the ancient Egyptians were perfectly able to make, may have connected the outside of the chamber to the outside via the ‘air shafts’ to the pyramidal summit as a positive and the same of the other side as a negative charge. The limestone smooth facing blocks would have acted to insulate the wires, as would the air.

The missing pyramidion peak of the pyramid of Cheops suggests that either it was removed or was never installed. If there was an electrical function to the peak of the pyramid then this might explain why it is flat. There are stories of the pyramidion being gold, fit the theory that gold’s function as the ideal electrical conductor was why it was there.

With the copper wires terminating there and probably extending a short way into the air, a natural charge would have entered the wires just from the ionised air, as described by Tesla in his ‘Tesla Tower’. We should remember that the pyramid was the world’s tallest building for 3800 years until our modern era. Clearly height (481 feet) was an important function of the pyramids specification.

Imagine what may have then happened. It is possible that this arrangement would also have enabled to pyramid to emit lightning at times; again as did the famous Tesla Tower in Newhaven, New York State.

Even today, the pyramid is described by visitors in a curious way. One party who ventured to the summit to have a picnic, found their bottle of wine wrapped in a wet cloth for cooling, gave off an electric spark when drunk from. It was being charged as a Leyden jar.

During electrical storms lightning would have been attracted to the copper conductors and been either earthed or directed into the Ark depending on the position of the switch/es.

The ‘Eye of God’ is seen at the top of the pyramid on the dollar bill (see below) and perhaps this is a reference to ancient knowledge by the masonic founding fathers of the USA. Clearly with or without the Ark, the King’s Chamber could have been the centre of the power of the Ancient Egyptian State both literally and metaphorically. It would have been the peak of their technology and kept the population in reverence and respect for all things ‘royal’.

If the King’s Chamber was the charging point, could the Queen’s Chamber have functioned as a neutral place where the Ark of the Covenant could be stored safely. This chamber has no heavy granite beams and walls and therefore had a difference function. Just the presence of two ‘air shafts’ indicates it could discharged static electricity in the direction of precise stellar constellations, as all the shafts are astronomically aligned.

The Stellar Alignments of the Shafts

Moving from conjecture to a natural conclusion, sparks emit radio waves and directional electromagnetic waves could have contained information. Could there have been messages sent to ‘mother’ civilisations and / or to other pyramids around the globe. Tesla, again predicted this possibility using his Tesla Tower and others around the globe. Could this be why we find pyramids today on every continent, including Antarctica?

In my third and last essay on this subject I shall conjecture upon a most esoteric clue hidden inside the Ark itself. Could this enlighten us as a practice that the Egyptians would have inherited from the Sumerians and their overlords, the Anunnaki. It also answers the question many scholars ask which is, ‘where has all the world’s gold gone?’ Could the ‘cow goddess’ Hathor and the fire inside the pyramid, be clues?

Adam and Eve were having a blissful time in the Garden of Eden. They had booked to visit the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and were not disappointed. However hotel hospitality standards fell when Eve leaned over the balcony and was faced with a firey eyed reptilian. She was reassured when she saw it wore a elegant bow tie and a wide jawed smile. It held a shining fruit in it’s jaws, as if it knew she had missed breakfast that morning. The rest, as they say, is history.

Within all the stories of the beginning times of humanity there is one scientific question that as yet, needs proof. It is the ‘missing link’. The problem is that homo sapiens appear to have no ancestor. We may be 98% similar in our DNA to our Chimpanzee cousins but compare the two species, and the difference is obvious.

If no ‘missing link’ is to make an appearance in fossils, let us test another hypothesis. Suppose that homo sapiens were visited by beings from other dimensions and / or space time realities? Well, yes, that is a big leap into the unproven, but no more than Conquistadors landing in Central America or Captain Cook landing in North Island, New Zealand. Cultures historically, attract unexpected visitors. Sometimes the meeting is destructive bringing plague and disease and sometimes constructive, bringing new technology and ideas. Usually it is a mixture of both and those who think it shouldn’t happen or apologies are due, might reflect on this very human vulnerability and how blame is not the solution.

So here we have these early humans romping around the Garden of Eden without a care in the world. That is until the rules changed. The new rule, a poisoned chalice in effect, was ‘freewill’.

Such a gift, if humans are involved, was always going to get out of control. A ‘guide’ was needed and one may say that time was right for a radiant being or beings to appear, in computer terms, a ‘security patch’ for humanity. Fairly far fetched hypothesis you might say, but then, so were ships with sails appearing on the horizon for the Aztecs.

If this hypothesis deserves exploration, we need evidence. Well there is evidence but not conclusive evidence. We might start with the Bible as a source.

In The Book of Daniel we find a race known as ‘The Watchers’ meaning ‘those who are awake‘ or ‘guardians‘. Nebuchadnezzar described them as ‘a watcher, a holy one come down from heaven‘. Biblical scholars want to interpret Watchers as ‘angels’. Whatever they were, we are told that they came from above.

How can we be sure of that? Well, if we change sources to earlier writings, then the Sumerian texts record the presence on Earth of a race they call the ‘Anunnaki’. Translated this also means, ‘those who came from Heavens to Earth‘ – remarkably similar to The Watchers. A Victorian scholar name Nathaniel Schmidt was one of the first to translate the Sumerian cuneiform tablets; some of the earliest written records. He read of contact between humans and the Anunnaki They appear to have been a benign influence whose intent was to aid the development of humans.

If we seek evidence other than the written Sumerian records, then there are thousands of ancient visual depictions of ‘non-human beings’ in pictures and sculptures. If we dismiss these as ‘myths’ or ‘imagination’ how can we account for those that are from different cultures?

These figures are often oversized, that is several times the average height of a homo sapien. Could this genetic mix account for why the skeletons of ‘giants’, found all over the world. The presence of giants such as Goliath fighting in warring armies, gives a reminder that size is just a matter of scaling up. This is more practical for cold blooded rather than warm blooded creatures…hence the giant reptilians of the Carboniferous era.

Gilgamesh is a well known character who appears on the Sumerian ‘Kings List’. He is described as a hybrid between human and non-human. It is undeniably possible that Anunnaki bred with humans either physically, or genetically using techniques common today that we call ‘test tube babies’.

If the ‘missing link’ is ever to be explained, could this be it?

Humans went from being descendants of the Garden of Eden to being a ‘super race’ who lived for hundreds – even thousands of years as, ancient texts record, were the Sumerian Kings. One early such king was recorded as living for 43,200 years. Should we dismiss this as fantasy? Sumer gave us the sexigesimal system of time recording and were exact and prolific at recording in general, so we must have good reason to dismiss their historical records as wrong.

The Sumerian texts shows us a dark side to the Anunnaki. In their version of creation myth there are two demi-gods. Enki wants to upgrade humans to enjoy a more conscious life and this conflicts with Enlil, so Enki breaks ranks. Enlil wants to destroy the planet. Enki gives instructions to Noah for his family and farm to be saved.

Those lead by Enlil wanted to use humans as a work force to mine minerals such as gold in South Africa, on behalf of their non-human superiors. Following the ways in which colonies change over time, the the colonisers returned to their own dominions while still receiving the riches of Earth for their own purposes.

All of this was happening pre-flood. The last Sumerian dynasty before the flood lasted 241000 years and was shared by 8 kings each reigning 30000 years! This dynasty ended in the flood.

If this date is the same on the time line as the end of the last Ice Age, then at around 10600 BCE sea levels rose dramatically around the globe. This is recorded by many and diverse cultures;

Mesopotamia

Hinduism

Gun-Yu in China

Deucalion and Pyrrha in Ancient Greece

Genesis in the Old Testament

Bergelmir in Norse myths

Nuh (Noah) in the Quran

Polynesia

Hawaii

Mesoamerica the Mayan peoples

La Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe in North America

South America the Canari Confederation

Africa

Australian aboriginal tribes.

This level of ancient cultural agreement over a global flood supports the hypothesis that it occurred in large parts of the world, rather than ‘everywhere’. We are proof that most if not all of the peoples alive at that time, survived.

The Sumerain, Babylonian and Assyrian have similar flood stories to Genesis in the Bible and it is likely that the Bible referred to these for it sources. We know that the Bible was redacted in the 6th century AD so is the most recent version of events and furthest from them.

Now my version of the flood-myth story departs completely from the Bible. I take issue with the simplistic account of wild animals compliantly lining up in pairs. The majority (seven of each) of the animals were selected as food for Noah and his tribe. Therefore, I suggests that the only animals taken onboard the ark were domesticated. The Annunaki’s skill at genetic engineering was surely applied to animals as well as humans. Domesticated ‘beasts of burden’ were not just fresh meat but worked for humans, in the way humans worked for the Anunnaki.

Proof of this hypothesis? Well the reference to the animals going into the arc ‘two by two’ requires challenging. Why state this detail? Why not explain what happened to the plant, reptile, bird and insect kingdoms? There is surely a good tale to tell about those animals that did not survive, such as Unicorns. Since communities all around the world record the same event, it is likely that there were thousands of human survivors and multiple lineages of life on earth.

If we are examine the credibility the story of the Arc as a wooden ship and it’s uncontrolled travels on a tempestuous ocean, it is hard to take it literally. A boat loaded with wild carnivorous animals was always going to be an impossibility. How do you stop the animals just eating each other like they do in nature? A powerless and rudderless ship was more likely to hit a mountain top and sink, than navigate to a safe harbour.

We have to ask whether the Arc could really have been a ship? Since the proportions of the Arc in the Bible are given as a cubic rectangular shape, I personally think it more likely it was a giant building, or perhaps several such buildings scattered around the globe by multiple cultures when the rains started. To flood the world would have taken several hundreds if not thousands of years, giving humans time to preserve life, as best they could. The reference to forty days in the Bible is of course numeric code in the same manner as the whole of creation taking six days.

The dimensions of the Arc are proportional to the First Temple in Jerusalem, which of course, was a building. Not only that but there is a truth in the creation of similar geometric forms at different scales, what we call today, fractals.

The Bible omits to point out that plants were as vital to preserve as animals, fungi, insects and reptiles, all of which were at risk of extinction. The Sumerian gods are repeatedly depicted in pictures as standing with flowering tree and attending to it. In one hand they hold a bag and in the other, something resembling a fir cone.

Pine cones are counter clockwise spiral forms that obey the arithmetical, Fibonacci pattern of growth. They are perfect symbols of the process of genetic engineering and / or horticultural hybridisation. The seeds are fractals of a tree / Tree of Life, in nascence, and seeds is where this hypothesis goes next.

to be continued mid May 21 on this theme and the meaning of ‘two by two’ explored to reveal something extraordinary

Those who remember the transition from the 20^th to the 21^st century will remember what was then dubbed, ‘the millennium bug’. Nobody quite knew how it would manifest itself. Would it crash the world’s computers because their clocks had not been told about centuries? Would aircraft be stranded in the sky until they run out of fuel and fall like stricken angels?

As it happens, nothing happened…or did it? Perhaps we should have been more prudent because on September 11^th 2001, something momentous and unexpected did happen. The two towers of the World Trade Centre and two other buildings were attacked using hijacked aircraft.

Was this the millennial disaster foreseen in Mayan calendars? Perhaps the millennial bug laid an egg at the end of the year 2000, which hatched nine months later? Whatever the timing, stay with me, because this speculation becomes more intriguing.

In the murder scene on a theatre stage, a door opens and the victim enters. The other actor on stage raises a gun and shoots the victim dead. All eyes are on the murderer and the rest of the play runs it’s course. However, the play would have been a lot shorter, if the detective had shrewdly asked this question;

Who opened the door to let the victim-to-be in?

This is a sure fire way to investigate tragic events and find the conspirators supporting the shooter. In the case of the twin towers, the door was opened by whoever ordered the fighter jets to be on exercise hundreds of miles from the city they normally protected. In the case of the death of the Princess of Wales, the door was opened by whoever ordered the CCTV cameras to be disabled and the ambulance to stop on the way to the hospital.

Whoever conceived and executed these and similar tragic events is not the subject of this essay. What interests me here is the question of what happened to the collective consciousness of mankind after 9/11, that is, as we pivoted into the new millennium?

Suddenly, the United States of America changed status from being free from the horrors of global terrorism to being a perceived victim of global terrorism. Whatever you believe happened what is more important here is what is perceived to have happened, on the world stage. The revenge game that followed was then ‘justified’. Certain countries and their dictators were delivered a dose of ‘shock and awe’ by the mighty USA armed services and their allies. This of course, continues in Afghanistan and several countries to this day.

How ironic, it seems to me, that Saddam Hussein’s summer palace looks out over the present ruins of Ancient Babylon.

Looking back in time, you might still be wondering what has been achieved by the various USA and coalition invasions of sovereign states? Suddenly the cowboy in the white hat is doing things only the black hats try to get away with. Who are the good guys and who the bad guys? Why is Saudi Arabia, (a state run by medieval Wahhabi clerics with the nod of royals) still an ally of the USA? We all know the reason for that question but see little offered in answer.

The world has tipped on it’s head. Shadows have been filled with light and light has filled with shadows. Everything and nothing can be believed as ‘true’. We don’t trust each other any more.

It is the area of ‘communication’ that this confusion is most evident today. The Tarot card from the Major Arcana depicts an uncanny picture of the Tower;

Think back briefly to the story in the Old Testament when man developed new technology. In ancient Babylon the early mighty towers or Ziggurats were built from unbaked mud bricks. Then something extraordinary was discovered. The verses specifically state;

‘and they said to one another, go to, make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and slime had they for mortar.’

This new technology was specifically conceived by human rather than Divine consciousness. This was a fatal transgression from God’s will. God conceived that an already proud human race would become uncontrollably self centred and conceited, or as Flavius Josephus put it in the 1^st century A.D, man committed the deadly sin of pride.

The Tower of Babylon was proposed by academics to be an attempt to connect humans with Heaven, but in my view the opposite is more likely. Towers, or pyramids were built by corrupted nations in order to commit ritual sacrifice of humans, as in the Mayan and Aztec civilisations. The towers were for black, not white, magic. The smell of blood was to attract power from other dimensions in the same way sharks converge on a meat feast in water.

This evil was countered by the Almighty very subtley, so the Bible tells us. Before the building of the Tower of Babel humans spoke and thought with ‘one voice’. They understood each other using a common language for the common good. The ‘correction’ for the sin of pride delivered to humanity by God, was for them no longer to understand one another.

Start examining our recent history from the same perspective. What happened after 9 September 2001? The new technology of computing and it’s changeling*, artificial intelligence, has introduced multiple forms of communication to the common man. Whether in the grasslands of central Africa or the underground stations of New York, people can talk to each other using micro computers posing as telephones.

Note: *definition of changeling; ‘in pre-modern European folklore an infant or magical creature that was secretly exchanged for a human infant…the exchanged infants were thought to be those of fairies, sprites or trolls…demons, devils or witches’.

The potentiality of this freedom of communication however, has not lead to a ‘greater good’ in my view.

The rise of rival messaging, speech and video communication applications is changing humanity radically. Young people are checking their phones on average every ten minutes. Their ‘reality’ is entering syberspace.

Typed messages replace face to face communication between friends over a relaxing cup of coffee. Misunderstandings on a colossal scale now haunt humanity every second of the day. You cannot switch off your phone even when you asleep.

‘I sent you a message, didn’t you see it?’

‘Where was that? A text?

‘No’

‘An email?’

‘No’

‘Oh, Messenger?’

‘No’

‘WhatsApp?‘

‘Did you check your answer phone?’

‘I have two phones, which one?’

‘The one in my contacts…I can’t be sure.’

Compounding this floundering potential for constructive communication is it’s opposite, so called ‘fake news’. Not only pictures and speech can be altered for malign purposes, but now videos of well known figures talking, can be convincingly created using artificial intelligence. Who is telling the truth?; is the question on everyone’s lips. AI just smiles devilishly at the camera.

The result of all of this, is a level of stress and anxiety probably never experienced before… except perhaps after a large construction project in ancient Babylon was reduced to rubble by a freak thunder storm.

Thunder bolts descended from anvil shape thunder clouds turning fired clay bricks into dust. From that time, people entered a thought scape of confusion.

Today, are our small voices more powerful than the technology that is overtaking us? Are we all currently being churned into dust by the real Millennium Bug?
