Dynamic Resources

22/08/202111/12/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

I want to point out a problem that defies a solution in present international law.

It is about ownership of ‘resources’ by nation states. We know that many disputes have started over this issue so in my view it needs absolute clarity.

The issue is like where we find water. It is either static like in a lake or dynamic, as in a river. Nations acquire rights over lakes and that is simple. But when the resource is moving there are many parties interested to the water, in addition to the owner of the lands over which it passes.

The concept of a nation ‘owning’ both it’s static and dynamic resources, can lead to a loss of those resources to neighbouring states and in some cases, the whole planet.

The Antarctic Treaty was drawn up and agreed by twelve nations on 1st December 1959. It aims to protect the freedom of scientific investigation by peaceful cooperation. In reality it does a lot more than that. Antarctica is unique in being protected as a shared and protected world resource and the planet is no doubt a better place because of this.

However, global warming is affecting Antarctica. Glacial shelves are breaking off as giant icebergs with increasing size and regularity. Fresh water previously frozen is and will, affect ocean currents which in turn change climates.

Such issues are normally ‘dealt with’ by the government of that country but in this case there is no such responsibility held by a nation state.

This illustrates how the legal concept of ‘it’s in my country so I own everything in it’ sometimes falls short. The rule of thumb works in most countries but clearly not always.

When we forensically consider the case of a country ‘owning’ a resource because it is within that country’s boundaries, neighbours and or the whole planet, can be affected. For instance, the rain forests of South America are, or were, regarded as the ‘lungs of the planet’. They absorbed CO2 gas, slowing one of the main causes of climate change. If we examine the attitude of Brazil to it’s rain forest, the Bolsinario government refuses to be advised by non-Brazilian interested parties. It claims the right to destroy the rain forest and all the resources it contains. The rights of the indigenous tribes are also not respected.

If I found a hoard of Roman gold coins in my garden I would have to inform the government of the country I live in, let us say the UK. They might regard the ‘trove’ as a national treasure an take away my right to it’s worth. Or they could give all or part of it’s value to me, depending on the higher national interest. In this case a ‘lesser owner’s’ rights are trumped by a ‘higher owner’s’ rights. This concept could be appropriately upscaled to national and international rights. The latter trumping the former where the international interests serve a higher purpose than short term economic gain. At present this would not work because legal rulings require the threat of sanctions or even physical force if ignored. There are only limited means to do this at present.

Yet there is another perspective achieved when we consider just the dynamic resources of the country; those most like to be problematic. Dynamic resources are not rooted to the soil like trees and minerals. A simple example is water again. A river may often pass through several countries before it discharges into a greater body of water. Who owns this water as it moves? When the river flows at a constant speed and volume, then the concept of owning the water as it crosses ‘your’ country works. When the rainfall drops or a country near the source of the river pollutes it or decides to build a dam, then they are problems. Such a dispute is occurring between Egypt and Ethiopia at the present time as Ethiopia builds a dam to create hydroelectricity from the Blue Nile.

A moving resource should clearly respect the rights of all countries. As it passes though several countries each should have a right to influence it’s management.

Lawyers and Diplomats would clearly have a great deal to think about to formalise this concept But the world should not delay in my view. Every migrating bird, every ice berg, every bee and butterfly is a shared resource capable of influencing the well being of every human being.

The human race is presently facing an era of catastrophes caused by increasing populations desiring finite global resources and climate change. Denial of these facts was a phase in the 1970’s but not anymore.

When we consider how vital dynamic resources are, it is clear that many are jointly owned and enjoyed by all of humanity. In addition, human beings share a right for dynamic resources not to be destroyed or degraded. The concept of one country having a right to pollute water before it enters it’s neighbour’s land, should be trumped by an international law.

Whales travelling through oceans have no concept of the countries they are passing. Why should one particular country, such as Japan, feel it has rights over whether these whales should live or die? If the consensus of the world is that the whales should not die, then an international body should have to power to order their protection.

Such a body could come under the wing of the United Nations. The chamber might find itself debating the right of the Brazilian government to destroy the Amazon rain forest for Brazil’s short term economic gain and the world’s long term loss. The debate would include the unique forna and flaura and the rights of future generations to have access to this DNA bank. The forest contains chemicals with medicinal properties, viruses that should never be released and countless creatures that once lost, will never be replaced. The neighbouring countries to Brazil, could demand their right to not have desert and refugees, wildlife and viruses crossing into their countries. The indigenous people would also be empowered to demand respect of their rights to the dynamic resources of the forest, in addition to their ancestral land rights.

If the resources that are dynamic are given the international status they deserve, there will be fewer international conflicts over ‘me and mine’ and more co-operation or ‘us and ours’.

Laws work when they embody truths the are Universal. If they are applicable in every corner of the Universe at all scales, they are more enduring and relevant than passing political values. The law would be called The Global Treaty of Dynamic Resources 2021.

Such a law and it’s enforcing body, will become even more important when humans begin to explore new planets and space. It might well be expanded to include static resources. The race to mine the moon that we see today, is about commercial rights to resources that are becoming scarce on earth, so called ‘rare earth elements’. Similarly, the filling up of the earth’s upper atmosphere and deep space with satellites, needs strategic guidance to avoid commercial exploitation and associated ‘space wars’.

If humans don’t get this right, then the next phase after the literal ‘carving up’ of our beloved planet, will be the ‘carving up’ of space and a repitition of the resource-driven disputes and wars in history. Even Helen of Troy was a dynamic resource and if a ruling had been made by a respected Greek god, the Trojan wars would never have happened!

One comment made by many of the men and women who have looked down on earth from space is that there are no national boundaries. We are so used to political maps that the real picture has, until now, been hidden by nationlism. Globalism, whether desired or not, will be the next paradigm for planet care, in my view. Without it, shared dynamic resouces will be seized or destroyed by the short term priorities and political ‘gain’ of politicians who rule without a trace of compassion for the people or the planet. You know who they are.

Slay Your Dragon

Males Gain the Reward of Understanding Feminity and Visa Versa

To understand this essay you have to acknowledge the possibility, at least, of reincarnation. If it cannot be proved it can, at least, not be proved to be untrue.

To my mind you only have to observe natural processes to see that nothing is ever lost or thrown away. All the survival lessons learnt by plants, insects, reptiles, fish and animals are locked away in the DNA locker so that they will ‘rise again’ in the next generation.

In a period of knowledge where the physical is given preference over the energetic, it is understandable that some people think when their bodies expire, so does their consciousness. But because the events are concurrent, there is no reason for your energy body to expire with the physcial body. Why should it, when it has so many lessons gained in it’s lifetime?

Such lessons are like the oak tree that has learnt how to warn neighbouring oak trees of the presence of a root disease in the area. This skill will become part of what all oak trees are able to do. So with humans. Our souls learn lessons and ‘evolve’ naturally for the individual and collective.

If you think this is a ‘fairy story’ then prepare for more bad news. You see, there do be Dragons! When the scientists tell you that dragons are a mythical creature, they are themselves relaying a myth that they have accepted without proof…other than the empirical absence of dragons.

But in the reality of our energy bodies, we all carry a dragon or two. Imagine a soul awaiting rebirth onto this planet. This soul will have been ‘judged’ on arrival in Heaven and certain ‘flaws’ targetted for removal. For an abbreviated list of flaws there are seven known as ‘the deadly sins’…deadly because they can kill you, but more of that later.

To remind you they are; pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.

The timing of the rebirth of the soul in need of ‘correction’ is key. The arsenal of personal strengths is contained in the twelve astrological sun signs. Each sign gives a new soul the strength of personality that they did not have in a previous life, such as being overwhelmed by lustful thoughts or greed. Such a soul might be reborn under the restraining discipline of Capricorn ruled by Saturn, governor of time and order.

The subject is huge and the examples examined in great depth but for the purposes of this short essay I shall suggest that you make friends with your astrological strengths and weaknesses and observe both in action as you live your daily life.

It will probably be some quirk or weakness of character that has been apparent since childhood. Perhaps you were spiteful as a child and always hurting other children, so that you had few friends. This is your dragon, alive and well and carried over from your previous lifetime. It is not created by family and social influence, it is not even your ‘nature’ but part of your previous life’s failure to learn.

The good news is that you have an ally. This ‘saviour’ has entertained and lifted the hearts of children in their stories for millennium, it is the ‘knight in shining armour’. This man or woman, has the inner strength of nobility, enshrined in the code of honour of the knight. They also have a suit of armour that protects the soul of the knight from harmful ‘slings and arrows’ that the enemy will send their way. But most useful of all is the proactive tool of the lance. With the aid of speed provided by a fast horse and accuracy provided by training, the lance has the power to penetrate the heart of the dragon and pin its dying body to the ground.

Children understand these ‘fairy stories’ in a manner that many adults do not.

They remember this ancient battle that that have played out over and over in recurring births. They are back on earth because in every previous lifetime the dragon has breathed fire on the knight and cooked him or her until death.

The ‘deadly sin’…the sin that kills a soul’s life chances…is often more powerful, than the noble knight. And yet, and yet, we will eventually prevail because we have as many chances as we need to use the strength of our planet and our birth date, to rise above the flames of the dragon’s breath.

That lifetime is ideally this moment. It may seems strange to you that there is an unusual amount of uncertainty at best, horror at worst, in the world right now. This is the battle field of old Medi-evil times that is the human condition. It has ‘speeded up’ our collective and personal evolution because the controlling power over us which we perceive as ‘time’ is losing it’s grip.

We have to adapt to survive quickly in difficult times and the greatest journey any of us can make is to adopt the knight’s noble code of honour, armour and spear to hunt down our inner dragon.

Once slain, our souls will experience a release that they have never experienced before. Perhaps another dragon will emerge, but hopefully not. Hopefully you will be able to join the line of noble souls that guard the Portcullis of Heaven and all things which have a value beyond the physical world.

Dragons live in the heavy physicality of Earth. Knights live in shining energetic light of Heaven. Where do you want to be?

HS2 Where?

31/07/202116/11/2023 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

Twenty Reasons Why HS2 Might Not Be the Promised Public Transport Option of the Future

There is a project in England called HS2. It stands for High Speed 2 and is a plan to build a high speed rail route between London and Birmingham and then beyond. The stated justification for it by the government is to move the political centre of gravity away from London and nearer to the Northern and Midland cities; the so called ‘power house’.

These cities have conventionally voted for the socialist or Labour Party and HS2 was originally a Labour government idea in 2009. Why it has not been cancelled by the Tories in my view is that there may be some political gain for the Conservative and Unionist Party in making Westminster ‘closer’ to the North. In the last election these cities did largely swing to vote Conservative for, no doubt, many reasons.

One skill that I believe is essential for politicians is ‘problem solving’. There is a science to this subject and the first question to be asked in solving a problem is; what is the problem? As much as this may seem obvious, it is heart breaking to observe how much money is wasted on national projects that turn out not to solve the problem. I am reminded the airport in Spain that has never opened and you can probably think of some ‘vanity projects’ in your local area. ‘Vanity’ may be one reason those in power do not ask the right questions. Or perhaps it is the Dunning-Kruger Effect…

(The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability), : source Wikipedia

…that makes politicians believe they understand the problem perfectly and have the perfect solution.

Another common pitfall for ‘problem solvers’ is the temptation not to apply a new solution when the original one does not work. This is known colloquially as to ‘dig a hole for yourself’. Rather than abandon the first location to dig, the blinkered view and or fear of admitting a mistake and or wasting time, money and effort… compels decision makers to keep applying the original problem solving technique. Feedback is rarely sought, dissenters are ridiculed and rational insight is lost in the rush to jump into the deepest hole ever dug…

The HS2 project in my view is a perfect example of this and even the PM used this metaphor…

Boris Johnson has suggested the only answer to the “hole” enveloping HS2 is “to keep digging”. BBC News 31 January 2020

So far three billion pounds has been spent on demolition and railway infrastructure. To change now would mean wasting all of this money and admitting a mistake. To admit to such things is political suicide, and career politicians need to impress upon their voters that they know what they are doing. This is what we see at the moment.

Personally, I would vote for any politician who is prepared to describe the white elephant under construction as just that. Here is my ‘off the cuff’ list of reasons to abandon the project. I am sure the list could be even longer but it hardly seems necessary. It is not all negative. It contains the precise locations where treasure can be found, should the current hole ever be realised to be just full of air.

Here is my list of strategic reasons to abandon HS2;

1.The people who live in the Midlands and North of England desire most to have better rail links between the East Coast and the West Coast of England and connecting the cities in between.

2. The people who live in the Midlands complain that the existing rail service to London is at full capacity and needs upgrading. This could be achieved quickly and relatively cheaply with additional conventional infrastructure and rolling stock.

3. HS2 is planned to go initially North South, adding a link to London which is contrary to stated intention to move the ‘centre of gravity’ of the country. The word ‘London’ is the clue.

4. The country has borrowed a vast quantity of money during of the Covid -19 pandemic. To reduce this burden ( and presumably vulnerability to any future rise in interest rates) it is proposing to reduce aid to the poorest countries in the world. In doing so it risks losing the ‘world leader’ status it aspires to. One obvious alternative is to admit it can no longer afford to pay for HS2.

5. Since the pandemic, people have become used to communicating using the internet. Moving physically between locations has become less important.

6. Trains are old technology. They have been improved as much as they ever can be and now only new technology should replace it.

7. High speed trains are at their most economic on long distances such as found on the continent of Europe, North America or Australia. As any continental traveller will tell you, the UK major cities are relatively close to each other and journeys short in comparison with countries where high speed trains have been a success.

8. Fast, long distance trains are rivalled by aircraft. In Spain, for instance, internal flights are cheaper and quicker than the extensive high speed rail network.

9. Trains are rivalled by new technology such as the Hyperloop. They are likely to become superseded in the next few decades, just as railways took over from canals. Technology and economics are more sustainable drivers than political policies. New technology by-passes the decision making processes of government. In the era of present rapid ‘advances’ in technology governments must work with new technologies in the way that voters do.

10. A large proportion of ‘clean’ electricity is produced by fossil fuel power stations and nuclear power stations. The first is neither clean nor efficient. The nuclear option is becoming more and more expensive (as decommissioning costs are included) and prone to the dual risks of nuclear accident and the problem of the indefinite safe storage of nuclear waste on planet earth.

11. The costs of major infrastructure projects can be reasonably expected to double by the time they are completed. The original estimate for HS2 in 2005 of 37 billion pounds has already doubled to 78.4 billion pounds by 2015! (according to Institute for Government statistics). At this rate of increase it will have doubled again by 2025 and that is only the estimated cost. There are inevitably going to be delays and unforeseen extra costs. This during predicted future decades of Covid 19 austerity.

12. Europe is joined to one nation by the Channel Rail Tunnel. The United Kingdom is connected to twenty seven countries by the Channel Rail Tunnel – and beyond. The train from Berlin to Manchester appeals to a minority who will either meet virtually, go by air or just not choose to do business in the United Kingdom.

The List Extends into the Tactical Reasons to Abandon HS2

What have the Victorians ever done for us? picture credit *Country Life*

13. When the Victorians built railway stations, they were able to build their palace-like stations in the centre of towns and cities; just where travellers wanted to arrive! Due to high land values and ethical (archaeology, listed buildings, city centre decay, the housing shortage ) concerns around compulsory purchase, this is no longer practical. Most HS2 stations will be built outside the towns and cities they serve. The connecting transport will take away some or all of the time gained (1hour 21 minutes reduced by 29 minutes) by using a high speed train. An example I experienced many decades ago, was in Brisbane. When you arrive in Brisbane rail station you have to stand and wait for a bus or taxi to get you to the centre of Brisbane. I believe a local train has now reduced this problem but the insanity of these slow ‘connections’ remains.

14. Simple analysis of the problem will reveal there are many means to connect the regions of the UK other than high speed trains. The best and perhaps most cost effective of these, is to improve connectivity using the internet. This has the potential to allow passengers to work during their journey on conventional trains. This will make the speed of the train less important.

15. A new train route will cause considerable loss and damage to the countryside and communities through which it is intended to pass. The least of these is the one hundred ancient woodlands which will be destroyed. At a time when the country has been promised it will be more self sufficient in food, farms will be significantly negatively affected.

16. One hundred ancient woodlands, fauna and flora and in areas of outstanding natural beauty and special scientific interest will be permanently harmed or eradicated at a time when the environment is being prioritised, not least because of climate change.

17. Trains are a less safe means of travel than flying and in the future, the hyperloop. The later will be so safe that the prototype has already been trialled over a short distance by it’s designers and backers, personally. Hyperloop is frictionless so will require a fraction of the amount of energy required to propel an ordinary or high speed train.

18. To fit the broader brief of ‘increasing connectivity’ within England, new trains and routes should be started in the North. Phase One HS2, starts in London and therefore does not benefit those in the North unless they want to go to London.

19. The money spent by the Test and Trace and PPE procurement was approximately 57 billion pounds. This is in the same ball park as the current estimated cost of HS2! If HS2 costs reach 106 billion pounds, then this is the same as the cost of running the National Health Service for a year. Politicians have to be asked why not run the NHS for a year with this money?

20. The High Speed train network will not serve the satellite regions of the United Kingdom; known as Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. These areas already resent to control of an England-centric government based in the south of England. In my view this may become the straw that breaks the camel’s back and play into the hands of the Nationalist Parties of each country, the first to fall being Scotland followed by Northern Ireland, then Wales and then Yorkshire – Cornwall?!

I have not included any benefits from a High Speed train network in the United Kingdom.

Such as list should always be included in any rational ‘problem solving’ assessment. My problem is, I can’t see any benefits, except some good publicity photos of dolphin-nosed trains and grinning politicians in high visibility jackets.

If there ever were benefits, these should have been gleaned after the second world war when the UK’s industrial cities had been demolished. Despite ‘winning’ the war in 1945 the UK was bankrupt. Japan ‘lost’ the war and in the 1970’s built some of the first high speed trains – the famous Skinhansen.

The Right Technology at the Right Time in the Right Place – Shinkansen

Perhaps some would argue that an electric train speeding along the tracks is much greener than the cars on the motorway running parallel. With the proviso that the National Grid is powered by carbon neutral fuel sources, this is true, but certainly by 2040 (as phase 2 is due for completion), cars and lorries are going to be mainly electric or hybrid. Any ‘green’ advantage to all trains is slowly disappearing.

And in the midst of a pandemic and in preparation for the next, is not personal transport going to be preferred to public transport?

What would Robert Stevenson be thinking if he saw the final phase of his invention being acted out? What would he say about today’s ultra wealthy taking personal travel into the edges of space and is that why he called his invention Rocket?

Ancient Light Part Three

14/07/202121/08/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

In Part One of this trilogy entitled ‘Ancient Light’, I have described the curious electrostatic qualities of many ancient monolithic structures. They appear to be designed principally to concentrate weight upon piezoelectric rocks. This produces subtle effects that can be sensed by the human body and mind, even to the present day.

I have also examined the unique design of the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Cheops as an example of use of this same principle. The highly selective construction techniques suggest that static electricity was intentionally generated, stored and exploited in the pyramid. The Arc of the Covenant operates as a capacitor potentially discharging static electricity as an ‘arc light’ and even lightning from the pyramid’s peak.

In this final section I shall describe the ancient knowledge of the production of monatomic gold shared (and possibly inherited) with the Mesopotamian civilisations.

There are depictions of gold mined by humans for the Anunnaki ruling Mesopotamia in ancient times. Humans were possibly created as a slave race mining gold for their rulers. Even as far away as South Africa, Zulu legends speak of a time when “visitors of the stars” came to dig gold and other natural resources.

For more insight into the mystery of the ancient gold mining across Earth the work of Michael Tellinger is the authority on the subject.

Interestingly there is little in the Mesopotamian drawings to suggest a use for their gold. What there is however is a remarkably common theme in visual representations of two ‘demi-gods’ standing either side of ‘the tree of life’ holding a bag and cone shaped object.

When examined closely the ‘cones’ appear to be made of many spherical objects which have been formed together into the shape of a cone. It is always held at mouth level as if in the gesture to eat. It is surely no coincidence that this same image appears in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Akhenaten Offering / Honouring Bread to the Sun god Ra and the life giving ‘solar energy*’ symbolised by the Ankh at the end of the ray.

The best line of investigation that allows modern readers to penetrate this mystery, comes from a renowned Egyptologist Sir Francis Petrie of University College London. He produced a report for his sponsors on a trip he made in 1904 to Mount Horeb in the Sinai Peninsula.

The full story is described in detail by Sir Laurence Gardener in the excellent video below;

Gardener describes Petrie’s discovery of an ‘alchemical laboratory’ in an Egyptian Temple on Mount Horeb ( later Mt. Sinai), dedicated to the goddess Hathor. Within the temple store rooms, is found 50 tons of a mysterious white powder, conical stones, metallurgists crucibles, tanks and basins. Much of the design stylisation on these and other objects is Mesopotamian. Inscriptions mysteriously refer to ‘Mfkzt’ (pronounced Muf Khut)’ and ‘bread’ and ‘light’.

Petrie decided that the use of this laboratory went back to the very first Ancient Egyptian Dynasty and continued in production until the final 18^th Dynasty. Laurence Gardener describes the story of the flight of Moses and the Israelites. Moses famously went up Mt. Horeb (or Mt Sinai, as it was later called) where there was seen fire and smoke at night. We are told that this came from an Alchemical Laboratory where Moses would have observed the transmutation of gold into a powder. Exodus describes how Moses burnt the golden calf in the fire and ‘ground it to a powder’.

We should be aware that Moses was trained as a priest by the Egyptians. His great grandfather was Thutmoses 3^rd, who reorganised the ancient mystery schools of Thoth and founded the ‘School of Master Craftsmen’ at Karnak. They were called ‘The Great White Brotherhood’ because of their preoccupation with a mysterious white powder.

In the tradition of the goddess Hathor, a cow and a nursing goddess, came the ‘powdered milk that;

‘…gave the Pharaohs their divinity’.

It is no secret today that gold can be transmuted into a white powder in a furnace and this powder confers good and longevity, (common to Royal families even to this day!). It is called ‘monatomic gold’ or ‘ormus’ and can be even purchased on E-bay!

‘There is nothing new under the sun’ – King Solomon

Is it possible that in large quantities over long periods of time, this powder may alter human consciousness to a higher ‘god-like’ level? Clearly the Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians thought so, to the extent that they must have processed large amounts of precious gold to deify the Pharaoh. After all, the role of the Pharaoh was to be both man and a god, and achieving this status whilst living, was his or her aim.

Just to explore the Old Testament, Moses story a little more, there is the narrative of ‘Mana’ appearing on the ground like dew ‘from Heaven’. This mana could be made into cakes and consumed and appeared when the Israelites had run out of food. Can we conjecture that this substance was also powdered gold placed there overnight by priests for the people, until we consider a clue from Mesopotamia. Here the name for powdered gold was Shemana and it is more than tempting to take this as being identical to Mana.

There is a discrepancy in appearance – or perhaps it appeared in two forms. The ‘mana from heaven’ described in Exodus as feeding the Israelites, is described as being ‘like a coriander seed in size and shape’. This appearance resembles the ‘seeds’ that make up the cone shapes in Mesopotamian reliefs.

And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me always’

Exodus 25:30

This extract from Exodus show us firstly how important ‘shewbread’ (or white powder cakes) was. The cone shaped stones found by Petrie in the Temple of Hathor on Mt Horeb, may well have been moulds with which to make cone shaped vessels to hold or mould the shewbread.

Laurence Gardener tells us that the 4^th Dynasty was the era of the pyramid building where Hathor is always depicted with representations of the Pharaoh. We can imagine a society in which the workers drank beer, the middle classes and aristocrats used a narcotic derived from the blue water lily and Pharoahs ate Monatomic gold.

With the Ark present in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, I have described in part two how high voltages and plasma could have been generated between the wing tips of the Cherubim. Such a high temperature might have been used as a furnace to turn gold into the precious white powder but I do not believe there is any evidence for this. Such a process would have produced smoke and waste materials and the interior of the King’s Chamber is remarkable for being clean.

The alchemical creation of white powder was in furnaces in the Temples, not in the pyramids, in my view. But there is another cleaner method for producing monatomic gold, which could have been one of the functions of the pyramids.

As a clue, one of the contents of the Ark of the Covenant, as well as the tablets on which the commandments were inscribed, was some Mana. According to the Book of the Epistles, this was possibly held in a pot made of gold.

Modern pyramid experimenters have found many extraordinary characteristics even in scale models of pyramids. Modern experimenters Mary and Dean Hardy of Allegan, Michigan took a gold coin and hung it at the King’s Chamber level of a Great Pyramid model. After some time the gold coin got a clear “oil” on it and the gold was etched away under the drops of oil. This oil can be reduced to the white powder known as Orm or Monatomic Gold.

From my own personal experience I once worked for an architect in Australia who described himself as a ‘modern alchemist’ and had a laboratory over our work place that he regrettably never showed me. I remember him telling me however, that it was possible to produce oils from metals, a fact that struck me at the time, as worth remembering.

An unlikely scientist in this story is Sir Isaac Newton. He was an alchemist for the second part of this life and deeply interested in the Bible and the pyramids. The following extract is from a recent sale of some manuscript belonging to the great scientist.

“He was trying to find proof for his theory of gravitation, but in addition the ancient Egyptians were thought to have held the secrets of alchemy that have since been lost. Today, these seem disparate areas of study – but they didn’t seem that way to Newton in the 17th century,” Gabriel Heaton, Sotheby’s manuscript specialist, told The Guardian.

The traditional quest of alchemists is that they tried to turn ‘lead into gold’. Such a ‘story’ in my view, is yet another example of a ‘red herring’ to hide the truth. The transmutation of gold using a ‘secret fire’, is the true ‘secret of alchemy’. Chemists such as Nicolas Flamel called the Shemana, Mana, white powder, Ormus – the Philosophers’ Stone.

Oil of Gold – picture credit Kymiaarts.com

The ‘secret fire’ may not be actual fire but the concentrated energy within the pyramid at the location of it’s inner chambers, where gold transmutes by the action of invisible fire or ‘energy’.

The findings and analysis of his ‘white powder’ by Sir Flanders Petrie where never published. This may have been because it contradicts some elements of the Old Testament. It may also be that the knowledge of the philosophers stone and it’s effects was desired to remain secret by those in powerful positions who already knew about it…such as the Freemasons and other Societies in possession of and trusted with guardianship of ancient secrets.

There is a twist in the story, because the white powder has been analysed in modern times by the physicist Andrei Sarhakov. He describes it as ‘exotic matter’ because one of it’s characteristics was that it weighed less than nothing! In other words it was not affected by gravity. It’s ability to levitate itself could be transferred when placed on other matter.

These gravitational effects remind us of the interest that Sir Isaac Newton took in developing a theory of gravity that has advanced civilisation to this day! Was he also exploring the possibility of ‘anti-gravity’?

Even more extraordinary is that Sarhakov found Orm could move into another dimension if we want it to, a concept familiar to Quantum physicists and modern mystics, but which the general public find hard to comprehend.

Interdimensional Travel – not new to mystics and of greater benefit than physcial space travel…

This three part story is one with many ‘loose ends’ as a pessimist would describe them or ‘exciting paths to explore’ for optimists. If we accept the possibility of knowledge, nay enlightenment, in the ancient past that is but a memory today, the narrative becomes just slightly easier to tie together.

The great unknown remains the ‘energy’ associated with the monoliths and large buildings from our past. We know that these buildings are found all over the world and were inspired by known effects on human consciousness . All of this was enhanced to a superlative level by the ingestion as ‘bread’ of a mysterious white substance which today is called monatomic gold.

I conclude with a quotation from the rear cover of John Michell’s classic book;

‘The View Over Atlantis’;

*’The entire surface of the earth is marked with traces of a gigantic work of prehistoric engineering, the remains of a once universal system of natural magic, involving the use of a polar magnetism together with another positive force related to solar energy’.

There remains a great mystery about this energy known as ‘Chi’ and many other names. What we can be sure of, is that there is no smoke without, fire.

Throughout the period known as the ‘Stone Age’ we find a variety of structures made with massive stones called ‘monoliths’.

Exactly why so much time and effort was expended to create them is uncertain, however I shall endeavour to cast some light on a subject that has fascinated me for a lifetime.

Some of the very earliest such structures have recently been discovered in modern Turkey, what was earlier known as Anatolia, at a place called Gobleki Tepe. I shall draw your attention only to the large vertical monoliths which are unusual for both their ‘T’ shape and incised decoration. The question is; why the T? This shape is clearly top heavy but perhaps that was the intention, to make the stone as heavy as possible. Let us look at some later examples.

One of the most iconic stone circles is Stonehenge in Southern England. The giant horizontal stones in the ‘trilathons’, again place extra weight on the vertical uprights for no obvious reason. They could have stood upright and detached as is more commonly found.

Many standing stones exist in the landscape on their own rather than in circles or lines. The standing stone pictured at the begining, is interesting in it’s shape and sheer size. It is pointed at the top which is so common must not be accidental. There are two clues here then which are scale and shape of monoliths.

There are also ‘balancing rocks’ and here the shape at the base brings enormous pressure onto the base of the rock.

An inversion of this principle of high localised pressure, is seen where a huge monolith is balanced on top of three vertical stones that have been deliberately pointed. This creates enormous pressure at the point of contact.

None of these structures was intended as shelter or domestic reasons. They are clearly ‘sacred’ in purpose leaving two monolithic questions why this stone why this type of rock and why this shape?

Modern archaeologists have been very successful in analysing the material found at these sites, but because of a materialistic bias, ignore further ways of interpretation. For instance most ancient structures are aligned to underground terrestrial currents as evidenced by the dowser Guy Underwood in his book The Patterns of the Past. In this book he proves that studying the stones as energetic as well as material, opens the mind to new possibilities.

When a stone containing quartz, such as granite, is compressed, a static electric charge is created. This is called ‘piezoelectricity’ and is used today in quartz watches, lighters, even ink jet printers. In order to create the enormous compressive force required for this effect, a large pressure is needed. This just happens to be what is found in ancient monoliths as already described.

It is an extraordinary fact that a 1 cm cube of quartz with a 2KN (500 lb ft) force correctly applied, can produce a voltage of 12500 volts! This is not then a imperceptible effect in nature. Remember that lightning can produce millions of volts in the atmosphere and is both common and natural.

The human body works partly by electrical stimulation in nerves. The heart and brain would not function without volts. It is not surprising that dowsers, such as myself, have experience strong energetic patterns at ancient sites. We can trace energy associated with underground water courses, fissures in rock, caves, volcanic plugs, sacred buildings and many other common landscape features. Animals are responsive to this energy as well with cows selecting underground spring sites to give birth as an example.

There is an effect on the human psyche and emotions for which there is not the possibility to prove here as it is experiential, however the reader is encouraged to explore ‘dowsing’ as most human beings have this additional sense. I contend that we are sensitive to this energy because our body mind unity can be ‘charged’ by it so as to produce beneficial effects such as healing, calming of body and mind and at it’s highest level, enlightenment.

It is therefore reasonable to propose the ancient structures were constructed to produce a natural ‘spiritual’ experience. Sitting in or near such structures for a period of time and or sleeping overnight, can produce ‘supersensory’ experiences such as dreams and visions of extraordinary significance.

The Oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece for instance, gave the female seers their supernatural visions directly because of their location in the underground caverns.

The strength of the terrestrial energies found in these ancient sacred places, is dependent on the size of the structure or series of structures, the unique formation of the location within the landscape, alignment astronomically, geometric proportions and shapes, time of day and season, solar and lunar alignments, sensitivity of the seer or aspirant.

The system of alignment of the human consciousness with nature in order to bring the clarity of mind known as ‘enlightenment’ is therefore highly complex and libraries have been written on the subject.

I highlight the effects of piezoelectricity above as little has been recorded about this and my observations suppositions are largely original and or from the collective unconscious. I include it in particular because I believe that it plays a significant part in one of the most famous sacred buildings, the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt.

I shall present my next blog as an in depth study of this last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World and still our best clue as to what ancient people did and believed and what we are still capable of doing today, perhaps even more so.

Pandemos

13/06/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

Common to all the people

The thing with pandemics is that they are far from being ‘unprecedented’ as many politicians offer as an excuse for making mistakes. Historically there is a long list including the plague or ‘Black Death’ as it was known in England.

So aware are public health experts today that, certainly in the UK, pandemics are regarded as the number one risk. Governments have to be prepared for even the most unlikely eventualities and there will be a plan, somewhere. This will describe the risks – particularly the level of harm – and how to mitigate and eventually, eliminate, those risks.

A well thought out emergency plan will include the ‘hardware’ and ‘software’ needed. Warehouses across the country will store vast quantities of ‘just in case’ resources, from dried baby milk to personal protective equipment. Software will be posters and public information announcements already prepared for broadcasting to worried populations. It’s a whole area of expertise and those trained will be employed in all levels of government, from national to local. Protecting the population of a country is, after all, one of the primary functions of government.

Let us examine, pandemics caused by viruses. To mitigate and plan for a new viral infection there are six stages;

Identify the origin of the virus and strictly control the contributory factors.
Analyse the virus and it’s methods of transmission between hosts.
Analyse the effects of the virus on the human body.
Identify ways of preventing and treating the virus and it’s transmission.
Share all of the hardware and software between countries of the World to do the above.
Initiate prevention and treatment programmes throughout the global population.

At the time of writing there is a pandemic which is estimated as causing between 100,000,000 and 400,000,000 infections a year, according to the World Health Organisation. There has been a dramatic growth of cases in recent decades and at least half of the world’s population are at risk.

*picture credit: thenativeantigencompany.com*

The virus causes mild symptoms but in some cases can produce acute flu-like symptoms in humans. There are four serotypes meaning it is possible to be infected four times. According the BBC News App, ‘explosive outbreaks can overwhelm hospitals.’ In it’s most lethal form, fatality rates are 1% of the population when proper treatment and care is available.

Readers will probably have realised by now that I am describing dengue fever or DENV.

It’s a viral infection that you certainly do not want to experience. It’s commonly known as ‘break bone fever’ as it causes severe pain in muscles and bones. Like all viruses it poses a significant threat to the human population.

The good news for those living in high risk urban areas in the tropics, is that a new method of prevention has given very promising results in trial. The BBC News App reports that infections in the city where the trial took place were cut by 77%.

The method used ticks item 4. in my list above. Researchers used a ‘miraculous’ bacteria (Wolcachia) to infect host mosquito’s that spread the virus. The bacteria makes it much harder for the DENV to survive in it’s shared host so the mosquito is less likely to cause an infection. The trial set about introducing this bacteria into the local mosquito’s; fighting fire with fire.

What we can learn, in common with most viral outbreaks is that the origin of the virus and it’s method of transmission must be thoroughly investigated (1. above).

With this understanding, whenever new virus’s are discovered, pandemics can be prevented more quickly and as we know – speedy intervention is vital to reduce transmission. In an ideal world, governments will work together. Knowledge and resources should be immediately sent to the centre of any outbreak and paid for by global contributions rather than the host country, in my view. NGOs and strategic public health organisations, I believe, should be given overall control of treatment of the outbreak, with politicians merely signing off the allocation of national resources. Each country contributes according to it’s means, the rich and those without any outbreaks (pre-pandemic) pay more.

And if one pandemic is given disproportionately more publicity and resources than equally serious concurrent pandemics, what could possibly be the reason? Mind the mind gap!

Ancient Light – part two

01/06/202101/07/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

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.

Radio Waves within the Great Pyramid at different frequenicies

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.

Copper wires set into the stone: electrically distanced

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;

Ancient Aliens: Mysterious Powers of the Ark

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?

All the World is a Stage

31/05/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

A very famous playwright coined this idea many years ago;

All the world is a stage

and all the men and women merely players,

Each has his entrances and his exits,

A friend of mine, who lived alone, wanted to move house. The reason was that one of her neighbours had lost her husband. Maybe her friend would now sell up and move away. The pond in which she swam was now missing a fish and more might go. Soon it would be empty. Moving house and finding new friends seemed a good idea.

I suggested that moving house may not solve the problem. I proposed that our lives consist of three things. The ‘scenery’, the ‘actors’ and the ‘story’. Each is as important as the other and all are fundamental to enjoying life. Merely changing the scenery will not necessarily invite new characters and a new story.

For example, foreign holidays are popular with many people. It’s a way of packing up and ‘leaving everything behind’. As I once overheard a man say in the queue for passports about his holiday, ‘you have to get away from staring at the same four walls.’

The backdrops to our lives do become visually repetitive.

‘Either this wallpaper goes or I do!’ – Oscar Wilde

Even the daily journey to work becomes an extension of the wallpaper and we begin to detest it, whether it is the inside of a car or private Lear Jet. So the simplistic solution we take is to change it; even if only for a couple of weeks each year. Off we go to the Balearic’s with all our ‘bare necessities’ in a suitcase or three, our beloved partner and a smile of expectation. Expectation because you know the hotel; you should do…it’s been your holiday destination for the last fifteen years.

For some, this is all the scenery change they can handle. There is comfort when they know what to expect. They know where their favourite restaurant is, the best bars. Some vacationers are more adventurous in their scenery choice. They go to different hotels each year or even different countries. If you have enough money, today the sky is no longer the limit. You can ‘Spacecation’.

But again, life or rather our expectations of life, let us down. After two weeks we are bored walk of the beach and the frog in the shower and the hotel mini bus that is always full. We begin to long for home.

Going abroad has not even changed the people in our lives, unless we were lucky enough to find a ‘holiday romance’ or get the phone number of the ‘nice couple we met on the plane’. We went with the wife or husband and we return with the wife or husband. The rows on the hotel balcony pushed down into the suitcase of our mind, strapped up and locked away until another time.

It is easy to change the scenery but changing the characters, that is something different. Families are by definition almost, designed to stay together whatever happens. They are our insurance policy to support us through whatever troubles life brings. Families do break up but it is better they do not.

Friends are great but from the day we are capsized out of Junior School, we realise friends we love, disappear. Only the very best of friendships will sustain you through all of your tempests and becalments.

And the world of work will treat us with more indifference than is good for us. If there is a reason why the company needs to cut staff, then the company comes before your mortgage repayments. You are out.

The characters in our life are born and pass away before our eyes, sometimes quite literally. We become resigned to the phases of life. When we are young new characters keep appearing. They amuse and delight us and then are gone.

When we are old, the characters who we have held dear, fall off the calendar until we are left alone and awaiting our cue to exit, stage left or right.

And as if this warp and weft of life is not complexity enough there is the third dimension, and the one which troubles or delights us most; the story.

Think back to your favourite movie. Whilst you will remember some of the backdrops to the scenes, some of the performances and appearances of the actors, it is the story which holds fast in your memory. Human beings are hard wired to remember stories as we do melodies.

We spend our childhoods dreaming of what we are going to become; explorers, pilots, politicians, film stars! The stories we aspire to are almost always unrealistic. That is after all, the nature of dreams is;

” If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:…’

from ‘Midsummer Nights Dream’ epilogue, William Shakespeare

We watch one or two grown ups who have been in the right scene at the right time with the right character and have been given an opportunity to reach for a goal they never dreamed would come. It did, which makes the rest of us think our ‘fifteen minutes of fame’ will come to us to. Perhaps it will.

But the movie in which you have the staring role, is not remotely likely to bring you fame. Be it ever so humble, we should not be ashamed of an uneventful life. While we are responsible for how we respond to opportunities in life, we are not responsible for the ‘hard knocks’, false starts, mirages, tricksters, fraudsters, liers, cheats, charlatans, and ‘low ballers’ that knock us off our feet.

Two dimensional life is just about management. Holidays are fun. But when you add the third dimension of a narrative, you had better be ready to run. And remember, like Tom and Jerry, the wallpaper of life is on a very very very long roll.

The Space Time Cage

21/05/2021 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

The standard monkey cage encloses a space using three dimensional planes; x,y and z.

Take one standard monkey, place him in the cage and it’s game over for monkey freedom.

Humans also occupy a cage only it is less simple to observe – because it is infinite. We live in an ‘infinity monkey cage’ in which we can travel in any direction – but with the restrictions of always coming back to the start.

Then it gets complicated. Scientists measure time; from leaky water clocks to atom accurate atomic clocks. This single act of measurement creates a past and a future – pressing our minds into an ever smaller space, or is that a larger one? Either way it puts human endeavour into a tight spot.

Things must be done ‘on time’. In a kind of cosmic act of cookery, we are placed in a dome shaped oven to cook for a measured period and then emerge as plump loaves of bread. The cosmic clock is not our friend but our enemy, for it cannot be beaten. It ticks inexorably in the background of all our endeavours.

This dominant dimension in our lives – I would argue it is not a dimension at all. The act of measuring a thing will not make it real if it is imaginary. Can you measure freedom?

Time picks us up and places us in a social order on a point of singularity within the Universe; it is called ‘being born’.

And as we grow into adults we accept this social order. We indulge in it’s whims which are justified as ethical (providing complexity and contradiction are ignored) and therefore acceptable. If you reject the ‘normal’ of that moment, you must risk being regarded as ‘not normal’.

An 18^th century normal is not a 19^th century normal. Slavery – which had been around for thousands of years – was voted out as unethical.

Humans were not learning but unlearning bad habits. It was never ‘natural’ to enslave your own species. Nature (if ever) rarely does it. This change in human consciousness was restricted by time. Slaves had been enslaved for millennia. Eventually, for ethical reasons – slaves were released to live in social equality.

It was just an imaginary game that had been played out by the victors at the cost of ruining millions of lives and their descendants.

Were there Roman aristocrats who refused to have slaves? I don’t know but such a person would have been described as ‘out of their time’.

Human societies evolve – not because of time but despite time. Some evolutionary steps are incredibly slow, but if you can not measure time, that is an invisible transition.

There is no ‘one direction’ for human evolution. We have freewill so do not hit the bars of the space cage, just as we do not hit the bars of the time cage. This fact alone should make us query the reality of space and time.

Are they not mere conventions?

Of course without matter and gravity we could not walk to the shops for a pint of milk, but physicality was only ever, a compromise. By shedding our acceptance of what is ‘normal’ or ‘fixed’ or ‘normal’ we edge closer to the reality of an infinite space.

The ‘man of the age’ who is lauded as a hero, is not a better human being. They are simply so much caught in the conventional illusion of what matters and what does not – that they go along with the fickle opinions of others – especially if they are being flattered.

The true ‘hero of the age’ is not of the age they appear to others to be in. Such a person acts independent of time either as a scientist like Nicola Tesla, an artist like Leonardo de Vinci or any of the prophets.

Examine the words of their words and their thoughts are independent of space and time.

They uncover / reveal / expound truths which are out of ‘time’ and ‘space’. Their starting and finishing point is infinite and exist in every reality.

Such truths as ‘love one another’ and 1+1=2, subvert corruption in human societies. They ‘unpeeled’ coverings that have been revealed as real in previous centuries. They will always be true.

Man has not been on Earth for long. If Earth was created in 1000AD then we came along on 22 December 1999. We are no more than a passing thought created just in time for the end of the year. It would do us well to remember how truly insignificant humans really are but some of us, sometimes, get a glimpse of infinity, a quality which is not ours to hold.

The Arc – part two

07/05/202114/03/2022 / Matters Blog - Things that Matter to Me / Leave a comment

My personal interpretation of the flood-myth story departs from the account in the Old Testament of the Bible. I take issue with the simplistic account of wild animals compliantly lining up in pairs. We are told that the majority (seven of each) of the animals were domesticated, not wild and selected as food for Noah and his tribe. Therefore, I suggests that the only live animals taken onboard the ark were domesticated. Could it not have been that a considerable amount of work had gone into transforming wild species into domesticated varieties?

There was a strong motive to harness the power of a giant Aurochs in a ‘lite’ version which we now know in bovine form as bulls and cows.

Animals supported the burgeoning transition into settlements and farming. There is evidence from the excavations at Gobleki Teke in Anatolia that the monolithic structures there were created by agricultural communities 5000 years before the ‘official’ date. Nobody knows who these communities were but the appearance of the Mullilu ‘bags’ carved onto one stone, suggests an intriguing link with the Annunaki.

So we should not be surprised when we see mummified pussy cats in Ancient Egypt. Domestication of big cats to, presumably rid grain stores of vermin, lead to the creation of the domesticated feline. She was even elevated to the position of ‘god’ and many statues of her exist, as do mummified cats in such numbers their bodies were once burnt for heating.

The final step in this theory and certainly the most disturbing and controversial is that homo sapiens are ourselves domesticated animals, not for food but also as genetically engineered ‘gods’. Animals so beautifully perfect in their form that cosmic consciousness felt free to enter and inhabit human bodies as ‘soul’.

Let us return to the animals being selected to be preserved in the Arc. Should we take at face value the account in the Bible?

The reference to the animals going into the arc ‘two by two’ is a conspicuous detail. Why state this? Why not explain what happened to the plant, reptile, bird and insect kingdoms? And there is surely a fascinating tale to tell about the animals that did not survive, such as Unicorns.

The omissions are glaring, including the assumption that Noah and his family were the only humans at that time to own a boat. Many other races survived to tell the tale, one on similar lines as Noah only perhaps with smaller boats and their own food banks; we have their stories so no proof is needed on that point.

With reference to the Biblical version, we might ask why the precise dimensions of the ship were worth recording. If there is any detail we require it is its means of propulsion, navigation and anchoring. If we are examine the credibility of the Arc’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 eating each other like they do in nature? A powerless and rudderless ship was more likely to hit a mountain top and sink, than preserve life with a big L.

Picture credit: Pinterest King Solomon’s First Temple with the Molten Sea supported by animals in the foreground

Was the Arc really 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. The dimensions of the Arc are exactly proportional to the First Temple of 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 proportions demonstrate a complete understand of the Divine mathematics that governs all Creation. Perfect mathematical proportions are beauty and beauty is Divine.

So perhaps the Arc was a beautiful and functional building. Perched on a mountain top it would have had a far better chance of surviving. There might even have been several such buildings scattered around the globe around the world erected by different cultures and described, we know, in their own myths. After all, there was no real rush. To flood the world would have taken several hundreds if not thousands of years.

What we are missing in the Bible is an overview. Perhaps it has been over redacted over time, but certainly the Annunaki put a lot of effort into fine tuning a wobbling world so that it could emerge from catastrophe completely cleansed of impurity.

An Annunaki with Tree of Life in background

When we look at the records of how the Annunaki Sumerian gods are repeatedly depicted in pictures, they are standing either side of a flowering tree, a ‘tree of life’. This firstly gives us an idea of a ‘family tree’ with it’s various branches – genetic connections – as in ‘royal family’. The ‘blue blood’ of the modern royals might well be a linguistic remnant of the reptilian DNA in humans.

The pictures are intriguing. In one hand the ‘god’ or ‘demi-god’ is holding one of those bags already mentioned, and in the other, something resembling a fir cone. The bracelet contains a clue; an eleven petalled flower and a central ovary, one for each month of the solar year.

Pine cones are counter clockwise spiral forms that obey the arithmetical, Fibonacci growth patterns. They hint, symbolically, of the process of genetic engineering and or horticultural hybridisation. The seeds of a pine cone are fractals of a tree in nascence, and seeds is where this hypothesis goes next.

There are very few contemporary descriptions of what the ‘fir cone’ and ‘bag’ represent. However there is one translation from the Acadian language which uses the word, BANDUDDU or ‘Turkish Pine Cone’. The bag is a MULLILU or ‘purifier’. If we accept that the Sumerian gods were active in global DNA management, part of that process would be to eradicate unwanted elements of DNA, or as it is known today, ‘gene editing’. It was vital that disease and inferior life was eradicated or ‘purified’, for future generations, whether prior to a catastrophe or in micro-management of earth’s delicate ecosystems. At another level it was vital that humans became able to access ever increasing levels of consciousness.

The subject of genes returns us to this ‘two by two’ anachronistic detail. It is an interestingly similar mathematical picture of the double helix of mitochondrial DNA. Could Noah’s Arc have been a bank of DNA? Does the Mullilu contain genetically altered / improved pollen to fertilise the tree of life? Small bags, even today, usually contain light, high value items. (One of the strategy’s adopted by the scientists today in order to preserve life in the event of a global catastrophe is to create seed banks.)

Should we be surprised that DNA codes are binary and there are two sets of two letters to describe them; A and C = 0 / G and T = 1. As we know, 0 and 1 is the binary language of computers. This code and it’s most recent ‘quantum’ addition (neither 0 nor 1) is now understood by many scientists to be how not only life forms are described, but the whole fractal universe. This is why beings from infinitely large distances away can come to our small planet and know the deep structures, or programming, of our three dimensional existence. It’s the same everywhere in the binary code Universe…two by two.
