The Pentagram and the Sun (RA)

The Pentagon-Dodecahedron was a representation of earth's tectonic plates. The ancients built a network of megalithic structures upon it for many purposes related to enhancing their psycho-spiritual needs up to and possibly including what led to the vitrified rocks. Mystery Schools say this about it.

Introduction

The number five [1] and its byproduct, the pentagram, have symbolic prominence and have been attributed extraordinary qualities. Possibly before ancient Sumerian astronomers observed the curious natural phenomena that of the seven visible planets, only Venus traced a regular geometric pattern, a pentagram in eight-year cycles, this number and figure may have already achieved symbolic import. We can confirm at least that what was observed above, was repeated by man here below. In examining remaining monuments of this distant past we find evidence that in fact the symmetry of the pentagram was utilized in mans most important architectural edifices. We may also interpret the stone work of this initiatic tradition in light of literary references to such western traditions such as those of the Pythagoreans, Jews, Christians, Druids, as well as the Lataif of Sufi tradition, and Hindu Tattwas. The pentagram served the Pythagoreans as a salutation and a symbol of health. Medieval masons considered it a symbol of deep wisdom and integrated its proportions in ecclesiastical edifices. In recent times, professor Matila Gyrka called the pentagram the "gateway to absolute independence;" "symbol of deep wisdom;" and an "ideal archetype of dynamic growth." It is not surprising that we find such symbolism reoccurring in speculative Masonry and Masonic Rosicrusianism." (1)

A Shardana group of Phoenicians as well as the Genoese or Legurian people going back to 2000 BC are involved. Recent finds have these Shardana in a Trojan War era fortification reminiscent of the 'nuraghi' in Sardinia. That site is near present day Syria or Mt. Carmel. They are also found in the Hyksos reign over Egypt that is connected to Troy. There are mines under the water off Marseilles and the region near the mouth of the Rhone and the Pyrenees site of Rennes-le-Chateau is verdant with legend and importance throughout history and pre-history. Massalia was a focal point of transit and trade in a time before the Straits of Gibraltar were formed.

"Five churches or sacred sites are all built on hilltops on the site of older structures and form a perfect pentagon with its center near the megalithic sites known locally as
Balancing Rock and the Devil's Chair. Two of these five sites are the churches in Rennes-le-Chateau and Bezu. Between them is the ruin at Serre de Lauzet, with the chapel of Blanchefort and the megalith at la Soulane as the other two points." These words are from Mary Sutherland. The megaliths tie in with the natural pentagram of the Pentagon-dodecahedron, which an ancient Druidic University in the region either designed or used long before Caesar or other Roman Emperors proscribed and eliminated the Druids of the region as best they could.

The Phocaeans are closely associated with the 'Sons of Mil' of the Milesian 'Bees'. They took military ships across the Mediterranean to seal a deal with the king of Tartessus. You can read about it in The Rise of the Greeks by Michael Grant. That 'Bee' is also found in 2200 BC on the island of Crete in the Royal House of Mallia. It is important to remember that most early languages were vowel less. So 'ML' and 'MLL' are just one step removed from each other.

The natural pentagram formed by the mountains of the area near Rennes-le-Chateau where Nostradamus and Saunière were born is of paramount importance. The pentagon-dodecahedron knowledge was so secret in the time of Plato that anyone letting this secret be known to the uninitiated was put to death. Pythagoras (taught by Abaris [Rabbi] the Druid) and the Therapeutae used the pentagram instead and the Star of David, like the Kabballah, is 'twisted' for a purpose I have dealt with in other books. The Theosophists re-iterate much of what we have covered so far.

"The five-pointed star, or the star polygon of the number five, is made by marking five equidistant points on a circle and joining each to the next but one; the lines and angles are equal, the angles being 36 degrees, 72 degrees, and 108 degrees. The sections of the lines exhibit the golden ratio, by which a line is divided into extreme and mean ratio, that ratio being .618 or 1.618, which plays so important and interesting a part in geometry. In symbolism this figure is often taken as synonymous with the number five, the pentad. The Pythagoreans called it the pentalpha, because it was like five alphas (A). It combines the two and the three, the first even and the first odd numbers after unity, representing therefore among many other things, on the universal plane, the union of cosmic substance with cosmic intellect. If the three is combined with the four (another symbol of matter) we get the seven. As a union of five elements it stands for the heavenly or macrocosmic man and its five points correspond to the head and limbs of a man's body; the same idea lies behind the five wounds of Christ. When the star has its point down, it signifies the polar opposite of the preceding, that is, the nether or material pole of cosmic life; and so can be used as a black magical symbol -- the horns of evil are said to be up. The combination of these two produces the decad, in a similar way to that by which the two triangles are combined in Solomon's Seal; and thus we get another symbol of man's dual nature, and of the dual aspect of cosmic forces. In connection with this, astrologers will remember that each of five planets has two houses, a day house and a night house; while sun and moon have each one house, so that we have here the five, the ten, and the twelve, harmonized together. Five is specially important in our times because we are in the fifth root-race, and five elements have so far been manifested (the fifth, ether, only partially as yet). We have five digits on each limb; five is the most frequent number for the petals of a flower, we use the denary scale (twice five), and the number five plays a leading part in the geometry of the dodecahedron and icosahedron. In The Secret Doctrine we find the pentagon used for the number five in the formula 31415, the other figures likewise being denoted by geometrical signs." (2)

The linguistic connection between the Basque, Vietnamese, Mayan, and Denhe of the Pacific Northwest is mirrored in the RH blood factor that also shows up in Casiberia. The Pacific Northwest brings us the Kennewick Man and the Aleut mummies on the westward Copper Route from Lake Superior.

At the time of Cätäl Hüyük a couple of millennia before the Black Sea became something other than an inland freshwater lake, there appears to be a 'precocious' cell of advanced people there according to Jacquetta Hawkes. Are these Anatolians connected with the Smyrna Milesians or 'Bees' of the Onassis Merovingians? Are they the people who became the Shardana on Sardinia along with the nearby Legurian (Genoese Phoenician Pirates) group who treated Druids as priests according to one author I have quoted? There is so much to piece together, and correct. Here are a couple of time line dates to consider in recent days about the Merovingian/Milesians.

1932: Aristotle Socrates Onassis, a Greek drug pusher and ship owner who made his first million selling "Turkish tobacco" (Opium) in Argentina, worked out a profitable deal with Joseph Kennedy, Eugene Meyer, and Meyer Lansky (Nixon was the keynote speaker at the opening of his Bahamas casinos. The Mafia later gave Nixon money to get his San Clemente estate). Onassis was to ship booze directly into Boston for Joseph Kennedy (who also had no money in stocks when the crash came but made huge money in stock rumour mongering but then was appointed to head the SEC). Also involved was a heroin deal with Franklin and Elliott Roosevelt. No doubt these things I say require your further research - but do not accept just one or two 'official' denials.

1934: Onassis, Rockefeller and the Seven Sisters (major oil companies) signed an agreement, outlined an oil cartel memo: Beat the Arabs out of their oil, ship it on Onassis's ships; Rockefeller and the Seven Sisters to get rich. All this was done. It is just part of a very serious situation that also involves the pharmacological abuse of humanity under the guise of psychiatry and medicine.

A web of drug traders who may have built the over 7000 'nuraghi' (medieval looking castles) on Sardinia starts to appear. The potions of Anatolian Blue Lotus hallucinogens when joined with Peruvian cocaine allowed an ancient culture to control many of their colonies. Perhaps this kind of control was the true beginning of the end of Brotherhood but gender issues were involved as well. I think James Joyce as quoted by Joseph Campbell in Gimbutas's Language of the Goddess brings it all together for us. He calls it a 5000 year 'nightmare'. When I say the 'web of drug traders', I am talking about Phoenicians or Northern Semites and their 'brothers'.
The Sun:

The Tepaphone used by Hitler's Freemasonic Order of the Golden Centurion is based on The Lost Chord of Druidry. The knowledge begins in understanding the Harmonic of Light and the sun. The sun is best observed through the transit of Venus which was a major part of Captain Cook's research when he first was sent out to explore the Pacific.

Dear Robert:

I too find the mummery tarot readers and astrologers often use ridiculous.

I do think the ancient Egyptians and Mesoamericans had an understanding of the suns influence on the earth that we are just beginning to confirm. There remains little doubt the charlatans who disguised themselves as priests over the past millenia had much to do with this repression of knowledge.

Genetic changes through variation of local magnetic field strengths does affect mitosis (cell division) and since the sun goes through 28 day cycles relative to the earths orbiting of it, may affect certain personality traits at conception. Hence my tie-in with sun signs and real electromagnetic changes affecting developing embryos.

It's also theorized that equatorial climes like those of the Maya were most severely affected by a period of sunspot activity that resulted in a severe decline in fertility hence a reason for the abandonment of cities like chichen itza because the cycle coincided with the return of Quetzalcoatl (a role Cortes usurped to his own advantage). Also the climate would change during a period of solar polar flips which would tilt the earth's axis and electromagnetic fields as well.

Since the sun itself couldn't be directly observed for sunspot activity during those times it was the cycles of Venus that were used to herald the changes that would repeat themselves over millenia. I believe this information was widely spread among the meso-americans and their celtic trading partners prior to the total destruction of Carthage and its wealth of knowledge.

The sun as you know causes nuclear reactions in the atmosphere that can transform nitrogen atoms into a heavy form (isotope) of carbon that has an atomic weight of 14 instead of the usual 12.

C14 as you know is used for carbon dating but while archaeologists have found it reliable in most cases there are anomalies that can only be attributed to the amount of c14 in the atmosphere over different periods of time.

C14 is now linked to solar activity and the advance and retreat of alpine glaciers and it shows that high levels of c14 correspond with decreases in solar activity.

The explanation as I understand it, is that an active sun generates a large number of sunspots, and these in turn cause a large number of charged particles to be thrown into space resulting in a thickening of the Van Allen belts. As a result the lower atmosphere is shielded from cosmic radiation and less c14 is produced. Conversely at times of low solar activity, when there are few if any sunspots, there are fewer ions between the atmosphere and the sun to shield out cosmic rays. More nitrogen is thus converted to c14.

Scientists are now comparing the graphs for solar activity (sunspot numbers) temperatures, wind severity, and glaciation against the rise and fall of civilizations. It seems the high levels of solar activity correlate with the growth of sophisticated civilizations while low activity links up with periodic 'dark ages'.

Is this what is indicated in the Maya long count calendar? I don't know but it seems reasonable to speculate that a period of increased seismic activity along with increased severe weather (hurricanes churning towards the Mayan gulf cities) which also led to a disruption of the wet season for crops and possibly a decline in human fertility would have led them to abandon their homes, especially if the events were prophesied as we believe they were.

With the forecast year of 2012 as the end of this fifth age we might also wonder about the climactic and electromagnetic changes we are witnessing today.

I noted your aside that Cayce was a Mason. While I too have some doubts about his ability to actually prophesize I wonder if you think he had access to esoteric knowledge that contravened his religious piety? Certainly his predictions about finding Atlantean outcroppings off the coast of Belize and Bimini seem accurate as well as his earlier beliefs in the earths axis (from magnetic forces)tilting, causing widespread tidal and weather related destruction in a cyclical fashion.

Legos Building Blocks - A Gift That Never Grows Old

Legos have become a household word. At Christmas a Lego set of some kind is almost certain to be under the tree or in some lucky child's stocking. Throughout the year it is a gift of choice for a busy relative to grab and wrap and give to a grateful nephew or niece. It is an understatement to call these magic blocks toys. They are the seeds of a young engineer's expanding imagination.

The history of Lego reads like a Phoenix rising from the ruins of a wooden toy factory in Denmark. As foretold in the popular movie titled the "Graduate", plastic would become the substance used to build the future in many fields especially the world of toys. If not for the development of plastic in the early 50s the Lego factory may have passed into history after the fire. But the imaginative staff there saw a future in this magic substance.

If any fault could be found with Legos it may be that in some homes the kids may have to fight with dad to have access to the Legos sets. Many adults who were introduced to Legos as a child have never lost their fascination with these building blocks. Many of these people have not only the original sets of their youth but hundreds more added throughout the years.

Some Legos collectors are fanatics about obtaining each and every set as it was produced. The variety of the Legos products is mind boggling. Want to build a fire truck. No problem. Maybe a police command center is more to your taste. They got one. If yo are a Star Wars fan you can spend hours assembling Legos sets.

The beauty of these sets is after becoming acquainted with the basic assembly and perhaps following the instructions to build a dedicated set or two, the childs, or, dads imagination will know no bounds. Build a castle today and a space ship tomorrow.

There is no discrimination with this toy. The female architects of tomorrow can began their career with the Lego Pink Brick set. For the really ambitious there is the Ultimate Building Set with over 400 pieces. Something for everyone from stocking stuffers to wagon loads and at prices that will not break the budget.

Perhaps as you near the end of your shopping list and have run out of ideas for those last boys and girls of almost any age, one of these special Legos sets could solve your problem.

Dark Conspiracies and Extraterrestrial Secrets, Part 2

The government is still trying to hide something and we the public would like to know what it is. Is the government afraid of something, and if so, what is it? There have been ideas circulating around that certain aliens might be hostile and there are also rumors of the possibility of an alien invasion. I'd like to know who is sending these crazy ideas into public circulation, anyway. Is it the conspiracy crackpots, or are fanatical whistleblowers leaking it out? Quite possibly, certain people that were once on the inside, who knew certain secrets, are now on the outside, and are labeled dangerous to national security. These insiders-become-outsiders either spread the word verbally or they wrote fantastic books on the subject. In various ways the government has tried to discredit them, making them appear to be crackpots.

The government is attacking UFO advocates and believers, desperately discrediting flying saucer enthusiasts, in an attempt to silence them and likewise control the public, because there's obviously something we shouldn't know. If the government is that scared, maybe there is a threat of alien invasion. I doubt if the government just gets a kick out of keeping secrets from the public for no apparent reason. There's always a plausible reason, even if it's the government trying to protect its public against something dangerous or menacing, or at least to prevent mass panic. I suppose if that's the case, the government has a right to protect us. Especially if extraterrestrial intrusion has been taking place on our planet. But are they indeed protecting us? Cattle mutilations and alien abductions still persist and I see nobody preventing these events.

In fact, Philip J. Corso, author of The Day After Roswell, claims that UFOs were interfering with our affairs in space, such as our manned and unmanned probes, and our aircrafts in the skies, as electrical systems were being tampered with, or "pulsed" by nearby UFOs, not to mention flying discs were cited over many cities and military facilities. Even during the Cold War between the Soviets and the US, the "other cold war" took place between the military and extraterrestrials. He also says there were skirmishes out in space, primarily in our orbit, between our Air Force and the extraterrestrials, ever since the 1947 Roswell incident when it all began. In fact, he declares there has been a war in space for fifty years now! Is this somebody's idea of a harebrained practical joke, or is this the kind of scenario the government is hiding from us?

It's quite possible the military has been shooting down UFOs for decades, starting with the craft that crashed near Roswell. If you consider the rumors that the military has been defending us against intruding UFOs, this corroborates with other reports that this was the real reason for Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, otherwise known as "Star Wars," back in 1985. Hmmm. I think somebody was watching one too many Star Wars movies, and I don't think the Force was ever with them either!

Other assorted rumors state that the military has captured aliens from various crashes, live ones as well as dead. It is believed that these aliens are being stored in facilities such as Area 51. If this is true, perhaps their fellow aliens in the mother ship are pretty upset about it -- and the fact that we have been shooting their crafts down. These reasons alone could be enough for extraterrestrials to start a star wars, if not to blatantly invade our unsuspecting planet.

Is it possible that we live in a world where fantastic science-fiction possibilities could very soon become reality? If our first contact with aliens becomes an aggressive endeavor, would we be the cause in provoking this? Has our sense of fear and panic and a penchant toward warlike behavior provoked them? If we can simply be receptive, with open arms, demonstrating an attitude of peace and friendship, instead of fear and hostility, could things be different between us and the extraterrestrials? They very well may be watching us now, deciding what their next move should be. What are they thinking? "Let's watch them a little bit longer," or even, "Invade them!" or possibly, "Annihilate them entirely!" But if we're lucky, they'll just say, "There's no intelligent life down there after all. Let's go somewhere more exciting."

Some reports say there are aliens among us already, disguised as humans. In this case they would be infiltrating in our midst, and this would suggest a more subtle alien invasion, from the inside. This sounds like extraterrestrial espionage, with alien agents watching us from within, possibly preparing us for an invasion from without. How would you know if your neighbors, or your boss, your best friend, or worse, your spouse, were aliens in disguise?!

Actually, such ideas sound like the demented drivel of conspiracy theorists that watch too many science-fiction movies. I'm an open-minded skeptic, so I seriously doubt (vaguely) if there is going to be any kind of alien invasion of body-snatchers, or fleets of ginormous saucer ships whizzing by overhead, or any kind of harebrained scenarios suggested by such movies as War of the Worlds, or Independence Day, or the more ludicrous Mars Attacks!

I say it's all just a lot idiotic hype!

So if it's not extraterrestrial espionage, if it's not a war in space, and not an alien invasion from within or without, exactly what is the government hiding from us? Or is there something to these outrageous claims after all? Will we ever find out?

Holy mackerel! What's that I see outside my window? Oh. It's just the Goodyear blimp. Or is it?

The Story of the Star Spangled Banner

The future of the young United States looked bleak as the summer of 1814 entered its final weeks. The "Second War for American Independence", often called the "War of 1812", had taken a perilous turn for the upstart Americans. On August 19, British warships sailed up Chesapeake Bay and captured Washington D.C. in only five days. President Madison and other government officials barely escaped the city before the Redcoats set fire to the US Capitol, the White House, and numerous public buildings. As if by divine intervention, a torrential rainstorm struck just in time to save the city from total destruction.

From Washington, the British planned a massive attack on Baltimore. Incidental to the events leading up to the assault, American physician William Beanes was taken prisoner by a British scout party. Fearing for his wellbeing, a few of the good doctor's friends sent a respected Georgetown lawyer named Francis Scott Key to negotiate his release. Once on board the British flagship, Key amiably persuaded the commanding officer to free Dr. Beanes, but because both Americans had observed preparations for the military operation against Baltimore, they were temporarily detained behind the British fleet.

At the mouth of Baltimore's harbor sat Fort McHenry. No invasion force could take the city without passing by the imposing fortification. Knowing full well the British were coming, the determined Fort McHenry defenders unfurled an exceptionally large American flag, to proudly demonstrate their resolve. Sewn from the finest wools, the 30 foot by 42 foot banner was visible for miles.

At 7 o'clock on the morning of September 13, 1814, the British naval bombardment of Fort McHenry commenced. The American garrison, personified by their enormous flag, stood ready to face the enemy. The fierce bombing continued all day, and into the night.

From a distance, Key anxiously witnessed the battle as the evening wore on. As long as the roar of cannons filled the air, he knew Fort McHenry had not surrendered. Occasionally, the red glare of deadly rockets illuminated the night, giving visual assurance the Stars and Stripes were still flying. A few hours after midnight, the shelling suddenly stopped, followed by an eerie, uncertain silence. Key nervously paced the ship deck, agonizing over who had won the battle. Visions of defeat dampened his spirit. If Fort McHenry had fallen, would this spell doom for the United States? Did this mean the end of the republic's grand experiment in ordered liberty?

Peering into the darkness for what seemed like an eternity, Key searched in vain for a sign to relieve his anxiety. Finally, the first glimmer of dawn's early light revealed a joyous sight... the great Star-Spangled Banner gently blowing in the breeze... proof that Fort McHenry remained secure in American hands!

Moved by the dramatic outcome, Key quickly composed a few lines of poetry on the back of an old letter. Later, in his Baltimore hotel room, he added several more stanzas under the title "Defence of Fort M'Henry". Within a week, the poem appeared in print, and soon, newspapers from Georgia to New Hampshire were running with the verses. Eventually, the poem was accompanied by music and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner". The song enjoyed patriotic popularity for many years, but it wasn't until March 3, 1931, that Key's inspiration was officially adopted as the national anthem of the United States.

World of Warcraft Gold Guides Reviewed

With the release of Blizzard's latest expansion - Wrath of the Lich King - the World of Warcraft has just got a whole lot bigger. Like the previous Burning Crusade addition to the game that preceded it, this latest expansion will have a huge effect on gold economy and the many gold making strategies that can be used throughout the game.

Some gold making strategies will be less effective; others will be replaced, and while the basics of making gold in Azeroth and Outlands will remain relatively constant, there'll be a whole bag load of new gold making strategies, hints and tips to emerge with the extended game.

And even before the ship from Stormwind had docked and I set foot on the new continent of Northrend, my misty breath told me I'd need more than a warmer set of underwear if I was to make it through the wintry levels of the frozen North with my  pride intact.

This is where a little help from a reputable guide can go a long way to showing you how to easily make the gold you'll need to help you through the many quests and raids that await you in the now greatly extended Warcraft universe.

The two gold guides that have helped me enormously throughout my long game playing time in World of Warcraft are Valkor's Gold Making Guide and Luke Brown's Gold Secrets Guide. Which gold guide is the best - Valkor's or Luke's - depends on where you have reached in the game and your style of play.

Valkor's Gold Making Guide was the first gold I bought when I first started playing the game. Back then, I was useless at making gold and barely had enough silver in my bags to pay my bar bill at the Pig & Whistle (Stormwind).

Valkor's gold guide is a very solid product, written by a gamer that has played the game for years. His guide is still reasonable priced and nicely laid out so that beginners can quickly learn the basics of making the gold they need throughout the many levels and expansions. Valkor has recently updated his guide to include the gold making strategies, hints and tips for Wrath of the Lich King. If you are new to the World of Warcraft universe, Valkor's gold guide is a great resource right up to the latest release.

Like Valkor, Luke Brown has been a player of the game for many years. His Gold Secrets Guide has gained a formidable reputation by players and the many guilds of wow that use it to great effect to make a ton of gold. Luke Brown's Gold Secrets Guide was the second gold guide I bought after Valkor's gold guide.

Luke's gold guide covers the essentials of making gold in both Azeroth and Outlands, and like Valkor has recently updated his guide to cover the Wrath of the Lich King.

Again, Luke's gold guide is nicely presented, but his style is very sharp and to the point compared to the more expansive Valkor guide. Luke doesn't hang around and simply lists and explains a whole chest load of hints and tips right from the start. I often use Luke's guide more as a reference guide, depending on where I am in the game with a particular character or alt.

In summary, both Valkor's Gold Making Guide and Luke Brown's Gold Secrets Guide are both value for money gold making guides that will teach you how to make a ton of gold in both Azeroth and Outlands, including the latest expansion of the Wrath of the Lich King. If you're just starting out, then Valkor's the guide for you; if a little more experienced, Luke may suite you better.

I've written more on both guides in journal. Just follow the links below.
