Did the United States hit the iceberg on 9-11-01? Was today's annular/'Saturnian' solar eclipse perhaps an omen for the US that its time is up and that it is now more or less a sinking 'ship'?

The timing of the solar eclipse -- December -- also brings our attention to Quatrain II-41, one of Nostradamus' prophetic poems repeatedly discussed here. In the article 'The Two Suns of Election MM', I correlated it with the big event of last December, i.e. the indecisive US election. I have contended that the quatrain is very 'Sirian' and it may relate to the Saturnalia that lasted 7 days as Line 1 mentions a 'great star' and 'seven days'. The Saturnalia in a way celebrates the resurrection of Osiris which in turn, congruently, is inseparable from Isis-Sirius that initiates the resurrection process.

The great star will burn for seven days,
The cloud will make two suns appear:
The large mastiff will howl all night
When the great pontiff changes his abode.

The 'two suns' mentioned in Line 2 becomes very meaningful here since, as 'double-lion' (the sun and the lion is symbolically and astrologically interchangeable), it evokes the double-sphinx (Atum-Sphinx-Rwty) of ancient Egyptian symbology that guards the Fifth Division of the Duat, the House of Sokar, i.e. the 'Tomb of Osiris'. It therefore also nicely correlates with the theme of Osirian resurrection. In the Book of the Dead from ancient Egypt, the double-lion seems to be linked with the 'Field of Offerings/Reeds':

He floateth down the river, he saileth up into the Field of Reeds, he reacheth the Field of Offerings and says I am the Double Lion-god!

The Field of Offerings/Reeds/Peace in turn appears to be associated with the Morning Star (Pyramid Texts, Utt. 509), i.e. Sirius-Venus. To relate this more strongly to the coming Saturnalia, we find that the term 'offering/peace' in ancient Egyptian was hetep (htp) which is the reverse of 'pth' or 'Ptah' who was 'fire fallen to earth' -- an allusion to a meteorite which then reminds us of the Geminids meteor shower. The meteorite can also be a representation of none other than Osiris (or vice versa) as discussed in 'Mystery, Babylon the Great'.

The 'Field of Reeds' is also considered analogous to the 'Red Sea'/'Sea of Reeds' (yam s�p) that Moses is said to have 'parted' as described in Exodus. (Hoffmeier, Israel in Egypt, pp.204,213-4) This then nicely brings us right back to Quatrain II-41 as Moses is one of its key implications (see 'The Two Suns...') -- President Bush viewed as a Mosaic figure. That Moses may be equated with the radical Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, who brought the prosperous 18th Dynasty to its knees, resonates well with Bush's presidency (not that he is directly responsible for the current troubles of the US).

Via the correlation with St. Malachy's prophetic 'pope list' and such, I have also theorized a year ago that this and the next president "will in some way mark the end of presidency or the United States as it exists today". Curious, then, that yam s�p, if taken to be yam s�p, would denote 'sea of the end' (as s�p has the meaning  'come to an end') (Israel in Egypt, p.205-6,215). Additionally, yam s�p has been also rendered as "the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom" -- 'Edom' having the meaning 'red'. This 'red land' could perhaps relate to Mars which I have compared to the 'Promised Land', or Atlantis in 'Mystery, Babylon...'. Note also that the 'Field/Sea of Reeds' may now turn into 'Field of Mars' -- the very name of the park in which Paris' landmark, the Eiffel Tower (the French version of the 'Tower of Babel'/WTC), stands. And Paris, or 'Par-Isis', is a decidedly Sirian city.

Quatrain II-41 makes a clear reference to the change of papacy in Line 4 ('When the great pontiff changes his abode') which produces a significant implication when combined with today's solar eclipse. The current pope, John Paul II, the list of St. Malachy refers to as 'De Labore Solis' meaning the 'labor of the sun' or metaphorically the 'solar eclipse' -- most fitting since JPII was born under a solar eclipse on May 18, 1920. Pope JPII is therefore inseparable from solar eclipses. Could today's occultation of the sun, then, be a ominous sign that the pope's exit is coming shortly? Or does it symbolically relate to the US president instead?

Rome being a city that has been compared to 'Babylon' seems to reinforce the papal connection because the 9-11 terrorist attacks on NYC (and the Pentagon), which kick-started the current global unrest, was a symbolic destruction of 'Babylon' as illustrated in 'Mystery, Babylon the Great'.

Finally, it would be remiss if I did not bring up Quatrain X-72, the most famous of Nostradamus' prophecies.

The year 1999 seven months,
From the sky will come a great King of terror:
To resurrect the great King of Angolmois,
Before after Mars to reign by good luck

First, the 'double sun/lion/sphinx' of II-41 is here echoed by the 'great King of terror' for the Great Sphinx is also known as the 'Father of Terrors'. That this terror should come "from the sky" makes this a potent allusion to the airplane terrorist attacks of 9-11.  And the related Osirian resurrection theme resonates with Line 3 ('resurrect the great King...') which also mentions "Angolmois" -- a potential reference to NYC, the American 'Babylon' city attacked by terrorists, to which was attached the name 'Angoul�me' in the early days of the New World. And then Line 4 brings up another major theme, 'Mars'. Line 2's "King of terror" can also be taken to be a reference to the Red Planet considering that it is the 'king' of the two Martian satellites Phobos ('fear') and Deimos ('terror'). In fact, this phrase 'King of terror' can effectively confirm the underlying theme of Osirian resurrection as we read in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead:

"Hail, Lord of Terror..."
Who is this Lord of Terror?
"...It is the Heart of Osiris..."

The only problem, of course, is that Line 1 specifically mentions the date, "1999, seven months", which was 2 years ago. What does this offset mean?  I don't have an answer at this time,.

Nonetheless, all the symbolic indications are collectively suggesting that something momentous is occurring on many levels and that mid-December may be one of the crucial periods for the on-going 'revolution'.

'Atlantis' is of course the main underlying theme I have detected in the recent world events, especially the 9-11 terrorist attacks (see the article, 'Mystery, Babylon the Great'). And closely attached to the theme is the notion of Osirian resurrection. It seems to me, therefore, that these associations are suggestive of some significant event(s), carrying coherent symbolic implications, occurring in mid-December, the 7-day period of the 'Saturnalia' starting on the 17th (a proto-Christmas festival) since it may also be viewed as an Osirian festival considering that Saturn and Osiris are largely equatable (though this is not something widely realized). And Christmas itself is a key date as well, obviously.

What will happen? Who knows... I can see both positive and destructive possibilities. I'll just leave it to the imagination of each reader for now.

Future is born in pain, no?
Inversion.

Anyway, so I am very much for people getting curious about Nostradamus and other 'anomalies' (though it apparently takes a big amount of fear to drive people's interest in those things). But I must admit that this curiosity doesn't lead to tangible insights for most. Somewhere along the line, the mind gets stuck with one particular line of thinking and prevents itself from penetrating further into the esoteric realm of reality surrounded by a membrane made up of various distractions, misdirections, hints, and such which minds infected with 'viruses' such as fear, prejudice, habitual emotional response pattern, etc. cannot go through. Religion as it exists today is a good example of this - it's 'stuck'. And the same goes for the supposed "experts" on Nostradamus out there who are rather impotent exoteric linear thinkers satisfied to be merely perched upon the surface of the 'membrane'. Everytime I hear people like John Hogue -- thought to be one of the leading authorities on Nosty -- speak on radio etc., I see how primitive their thinking is and get the desire to be not associated with them... :) I just think it's a pretty amazing that supposed "experts" can be so lame. But then, maybe that's how it should be; the 'noise' of the perceived 'authorities' just turns into part of the 'membrane' and have the function of helping filter out those not ready for the matrix of esoterica.

This 'stargate' theme also seemed to bleed into the sudden panicky interest in the prophecies of Nostradamus prompted -- somewhat suspiciously -- by hoaxes that linked the terrorist attacks to the beginning of WWIII. The name 'Nostradamus' (Notre Dame) means 'Our Lady', a reference to the Virgin Mary/Mary Magdalene who in turn is the biblical version of Isis, the Egyptian goddess represented in the night sky as the star Sirius, which is in many ways a 'stargate' par excellence. Moreover, further symbolic congruity is produced by 'Magdalene' (as Magdala) happening to have the meaning of 'tower' as well as 'place of the dove' and such. The implication of the former is obvious; the relevance of the latter on the other hand is not so readily apparent but substituting 'columba' for 'dove' (the name of Noah's dove) should yield intriguing associations. One of names of the United States is 'Columbia' which is embodied by the Statue of Liberty (the implication being this 'Mother of Exiles' representing Mary Magdalene/Isis). Other than these, the epithet 'Magdalene' has also been found to relate to an Old Testament 'prophecy' (Micah 4:8) concerning the restoration of Sion/Zion - a term applicable to Jerusalem/Israel, Solomon's Temple, the Ark, and such. (Note that the term 'Zion' figures quite prominently in the film, The Matrix, as well.)

All these connections involving Isis/Sirius/MM, the Flood/Noah/Ark, and the Ark-Grail are very familiar motifs to this Etemenanki website which has long identified these to be major part of the undercurrent esoteric signature of high-impact world events. Indeed, the Ark-Grail theme I had found to be associated especially with airplane crashes. So, in these and many other ways there was considerable symbolic resonance between the 911 event and this website -- the name of which, 'Etemenanki', is actually an ancient name for none other than the Tower of Babel :)  And of course, like the WTC towers, this website received so many hits after 9-11 (due to the aforementioned Nostradamus frenzy) that it went down for several days...

This actually made me realize too that my website is still widely perceived as a 'Nostradamus site' in spite of the fact that I don't discuss his prophecies much any longer here - I only do so when I just have to, like the US election MM and this 911 event. It doesn't bother me much but I must say that I do hate to be associated in any way with Nostradamus buffs and "experts" out there almost all of whom are completely devoid of esoteric understanding and are just fond of subjectively 'predicting' in Nostradamus' name the imminent day of doom. Their motivation is almost invariably based in one way or another on fear - and fear is nothing but a disruptive virus for the mind and it prevents one from moving toward the direction of truth. What comes out of a disabled mind is just garbled noise. My involvement with prophetic material is not fear-based and I think this has been shown in the fact that I virtually never suggest, or make an prophetic interpretation, that doom is coming soon -- even when seemingly everyone else was predicting a catastrophe in '1999', I was solely making a non-doom interpretation of the infamous X-72 quatrain (see 1999: Final Solution).

But there is one exception. On Feb. 2, 2000, I made the following statement on this site:

Now, I'm not sure if I want to say this... but here is something that the data I have is suggesting to me.  It's that the year 2000/2001 is to bring to the United States one of the biggest events the country has ever experienced.  This is not something I 'believe' or based on 'millennial' mentality; it's just what the data I have (not presented on this website) is suggesting to me.  The key concepts attached to this are termination and 'New World'.

This more or less doomy prediction was a very rare and special case where I was quite sure about the timing, location, its magnitude, and its being an exoteric event (as opposed to being mainly symbolic). What enabled me to make the prediction I am unwilling to reveal here yet but should be made clear in my upcoming book. I must say, though, that my feeling is that the 911 event, while surely "one of the biggest events the [US] has ever experienced", still may not be momentous enough to fulfill what is indicated by the esoteric data I have. Does this mean there is more to come soon? I hope not, but I am somewhat worried.

There are some future dates to watch, but there is one particular date coming up soon - Oct. 13, a Templar termination date. This may be too obvious a date to be find its way into the symbolic encoding, but... who knows.

Planning to write up an in-depth piece on the symbolic implications of the whole situation.

Signs are everywhere :)

Quatrain VI-97
At forty-five [or 'five and forty'] degrees the sky will burn,
Fire to approach the great new city:
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up,
When one will want to demand proof of the Normans.

This is of course a quatrain extensively discussed in my 'Babylon Matrix' ('98), 'Ark of Sirius' ('99), and elsewhere.  Repeatedly, I have correlated VI-97 quite specifically with airplane crashes (which I have also closely associated with the theme of the Ark-Grail) such as the infamous TWA 800 (New York). In Babylon Matrix, moreover, the quatrain was shown to pertain to the planet Mars, especially the Cydonia region, in connection with the notion of 'life on Mars'. It is my view that the '911' terrorist attacks fit the pattern very coherently.

Taking "cinq & quarante" of Line 1 as 'five and forty' (as in 40.5, NYC's latitude) instead of 'forty five', and the 'great new city' as NYC, we see that the first three lines may potentially be relevant to the event in question. What is most interesting, however, is the implication of Line 4: 'When one will want to demand proof of the Normans'. First, as noted in Babylon Matrix, the "Normans" is essentially another name for the Vikings ('Norsemen') which in turn was the name given to the first space probes to land on the Red Planet (Viking 1 & 2, '76). It was this Viking space mission that first took the picture of the potentially artificial "monuments of Mars" - including the pentagonal 'D&M Pyramid' - in a region known as Cydonia at roughly 40N 5W, i.e. "five and forty." The controversial 'monuments' themselves were located at about 40.5-41N which happens to be the very latitude shared by none other than NYC back on Earth. Line 4, 'When one will want to demand proof of the [Vikings]', therefore would have the inference of people wanting to know the truth about Cydonia and/or more generally about the existence of life on Mars. As those who have followed this or other related websites would know, this cannot be a more appropriate description of the time period around the turn of the millennium, i.e. right now.

Since 1998 or so, NASA's Mars Global Surveyor has managed to take several new pictures of the Cydonia 'monuments' - including the famous "Face on Mars" photographed and released earlier this year - for the first time since the Viking mission as many people indeed demanded that the structures be photographed by MGS. (The new pictures have not settled the matter yet, however.) But even more intriguingly, the year 2001 saw scientists revisiting the Viking mission data and finding apparent evidence of Martian life! Indeed, this remarkable news broke just weeks/days before the terrorist attacks in NYC and Washington DC.

It is also interesting to note - as I was informed by a reader - that the Vikings, i.e. the 'Normans', are historically inseparable from the date AD 911, numerically resonating with the date of the attacks (9/11), for this was when the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple made Normandy a duchy under Rollo. Also, it is amusing to notice that the Transportation Secretary of the US who is in charge of overseeing the airlines and such is Norman Mineta at this time - when people are wanting his assurance that air travel is safe (i.e. demanding 'proof of Norman').

And finally, I'll just add some correlations between the above and my interpretation of II-41 -- the 'great star'/Sirius quatrain -- which I have suggested might be applicable to the pertinent events in earlier updates. First, there is the fact that the historic Mars landing of Viking 1 occurred on July 20, which is the Sirian date. It was on this date (Julian) during the time of ancient Egypt that the 'great star' Sirius was 'reborn' (i.e. heliacle rising) - an celestial event that held a special significance for the ancient Egyptians. And then there is the fact that the US and many other nations are scheduled to conduct "the world's biggest war games" called 'Operation Bright Star' next month.

Intriguing coincidences...

Many people are also emailing me to tell me - and I agree - that the "great star" in the first line of quatrain II-41 (discussed in last entry) that is said to "burn for seven days" may relate to the Pentagon whose shape is a geometric cousin of a five-pointed star which in turn is symbolic of the 'great star' Sirius (as well as Venus).

(For those who were unable to get the nostradamus-centuries.txt file, it is now available again here).

More later.

For those interested, we just did a psi session that specifically tried to look at the future development of the current unrest with some interesting result.

Let me also point out something intriguing.  The renowned former US military remote-viewer numero uno, Joseph McMoneagle, predicted in his 1998 book (The Ultimate Time Machine): "We can expect to see a long slide in the stock market (Wall Street) beginning within the next three to six years (probably actually starting around September of 2001.)"   Hmm...

First, here are the fairly accurate versions of the two quatrains the butchered forms of which many people are currently encountering on the net.

Quatrain 10,72

L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d'effrayeur:
Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois,
Auant apres Mars regner par bon-heur.

The year 1999, seventh months,
From the sky will come a great King of terror:
To bring back to life the great King of Angolmois,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.

Quatrain 6,97

Cinq & quarante degrez ciel bruslera
Feu approcher de la grand cite' neuue
Instant grand flamme esparse sautera
Quand on voudra des Normans faire preuue.

At forty-five degrees the sky will burn,
Fire to approach the great new city:
In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up,
When one will want to demand proof of the Normans.

Incidentally, these quatrains are the very ones repeatedly discussed in depth in my essays (listed in left column).

Another "quatrain" making the rounds on the net is something like this:

In the city of york/God there will be a great collapse/thunder
twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning

This is a hoax or a quatrain that has been butchered beyond recognition.

I'm rather tired of seeing and getting questions about fake quatrains, so I have decided to upload a file containing all the quatrains of the 'Centuries' here. I suggest that you save it on your harddisk so that you will be able to open it in a word-processor program and do a word-search to verify any questionable quatrain that you may come across.

More later.

At this time, I will just direct your attention to the following couple of 'projections' I presented in the 'Two Suns' article (written Dec. '00):

• "[The era of George W. Bush] will in some way mark the end of presidency or the United States as it exists today"
• "In general, revolutionary changes seem to be coming in 2001 onward. That 2001 is 1929 + 72 is a ominous sign especially for economy as the year 1929 saw the stock market crash marking the beginning of the Great Depression and 72 is a mythologically and astronomically important number connected to the concept of time and cycles."  (Note: the collapse of the WTC twin towers, which embodies the financial prowess of US/market, symbolically reenacts the '29 market crash.)

More later.

Update: the delayed collapse of World Trade Center #7, which is considerably smaller than the other two collapsed buildings, seems to reflect the theoretical 'Body C', a small celestial body (potentially a former sattelite), which is thought by Tom Van Flandern to have exploded millions of years after the main planetary destructions.

At this point, I am largely in agreement with Richard Hoagland's interpretation of the glyphs - which is that their message may concern who we really are.  Most notably, it seems to allude to mankind's forgotten connection to Mars and the theoretical 'Planet V' and 'Planet K' whose remnants we now see as the Asteroid Belt of our Solar System.  This notion directly relates to Tom Van Flandern's 'Exploded Planet Hypothesis' as well as Hoagland's 'Tides of Mars' theory.  And as some of you know, my own research has been moving right toward this direction behind the scenes as well.  I will even predict that the 'Exploded Planet Hypothesis' is about to turn into the cutting edge and most productive field of 'alternative' research.  I plan to present my own unique findings in one way or another sometime in the future (the research is still very much on-going).

I would also add that the crop glyphs may be part of the event pattern of 2001, i.e. 'Atlantis'/Mars, that has been detected.  In a way, the discovery of 'Atlantis' is our conscious mind making Contact with our forgotten past -- and our shrouded origin is to be revealed as interplanetary, and that 'Atlantis' is literally not of this world -- though this is not to say that there aren't some Atlantean "fingerprints" left on Earth itself (correspondingly, we're awaiting the official announcement regarding the underwater city found near Cuba which may put the term 'Atlantis' in the headlines of mainstream news media).

Speaking of Atlantis, Hollywood releases yet another movie relating to it (at least in its title, 'Hearts in Atlantis') this month.  Two major films with 'Atlantis' in the title in the same year?  How synchronistic is that?  Indeed, I know of no other major Hollywood films that deal directly with the subject of the legendary antediluvian civilization.  I think even the dense people can now begin to recognize the pattern.

'Atlantis' is rising; the time is coming for the Total Recall.

The previously announced article on the issue of a Mars-Egypt connection was to discuss and expound on these and other related subjects, but please note that I have since then decided not to post it - at least at this time.  The central subject matter, which I have not directly touched on this website yet, turned out to be much more serious than first realized that I have made the choice to develop it further before publishing it.

(By the way, the latest 'psi session' targeted the crop glyphs - though it was a sub-par session - so you might want to check it out if interested.)

The fact that Discovery was moved to the launch pad on July 2 (i.e. 7-2) adds another layer to the symbolism as '72' is a number of great mythological and astronomical significance.  For instance it was the 72 conspirators led by Seth that murdered Osiris in ancient Egyptian mythology.  Osiris, curiously, is closely linked with the antediluvian world, i.e. Atlantis.  And the sister-wife of Osiris was Isis who can be represented by the similar looking and sounding 'ISS' (International Space Station), which is the brightest object in the night sky after Sirius which in turn is the celestial form of Isis.  Shuttle Atlantis, now associatable with the death of Osiris, docking with 'ISIS' therefore would be quite symbolic of the copulation of the two which in mythology takes place after the murder of Osiris (made possible by Isis magically reviving him back to life temporarily).  As a result of the copulation comes the birth of Horus.  Horus would make it his mission to bring back the golden age of Osiris - identifiable with 'Atlantis' - and thus we again come back to the theme of the return of Atlantis.  What's more, Horus was more or less equated with - what else? - planet Mars which is very close to the earth this summer!   Mars was called 'Horus the Red' as well as Horakhti ('Horus of the Horizon').

And lastly, the mission of Atlantis is to overlap the 'Sirius date', July 20, associated with the 'rebirth' (heliacal rising) of the Isis star.  Note that 7/20 is another '72' date.  The date and the heliacal rising are also inseparable from the annual flooding of the Nile which in turn was representative of the vitality of Osiris - an allusion, again, to the return of 'Atlantis'.

I'd say 'the timetable', the template of history, is dictating that 2001 be the biginning of the 'resurrection of Osiris' (which has many levels of meaning).

Suggestively, also, we have a major convergence of astronomical events on June 21: 1) it is the summer solstice, 2) it sees the first total solar eclipse of the millennium (observable from southern Africa), and 3) Mars is closest to Earth in more than a decade [update: Space shuttle Atlantis was moved to the launch pad on this date as well].  Ah... so rich in symbolism.  Can it be just a coincidence that the emphasis is put on Atlantis and, astronomically, on Mars concurrently?  And, of course, Mars Global Surveyor is presently in the process of taking more pictures of Cydonia... Well, something to think about.

Speaking of Atlantis and Mars, my book - when published - will reveal a location of the 'Tomb of Osiris' or the 'Hall of Records' (virtually synonymous with 'Atlantis') which has never been suggested before. Indeed, while the name 'Atlantis' itself (intentionally) does not come up much, the book is in a way all about this antediluvian realm and its legacy - though it's not what you would expect. I'm also getting ready to write an article for this website which will put forward a new and bold theory concerning Mars and ancient Egypt, so you can look forward to that.

Many people don't seem to get this, but desiring peace is not the recipe for a real solution that is to be applied to situations like this.  Peace is something that comes about as a result of seeking and attaining the truth.  Saying or thinking 'let's have peace so that we can live in safety and comfort' is actually a shortsighted mentality and a major cop-out.  Problems and friction arise because there are sources causing them - where there is smoke, there is fire - and the true solution is to go back to the source and realize where mistakes were made.  To stop the flooding, you don't build higher and higher walls (this would be a temporary and never-ending process), but you go to the source and stop the running water by turning off the faucet.

So, for U.S., for instance, to continually implore the Israelis and Palestinians/Arabs to "stop the violence" is not necessarily productive - it is just another brick placed upon the ever-growing wall.  For a real resolution, either the wall has to break to let the floodwater take care of the situation in a quick and catastrophic way, or people have to wake up from the shortsightedness, search for the source of the problem, and then 'turn off the faucet'.  At some point, it is more productive to let it end either way than prolonging it just for the sake of peace.

But what exactly is the 'source' of the conflict?   Well, obviously it's religious in nature and it is a complex issue.   Ultimately, though, the esoteric and uncontaminated nature of their religions and histories would have to be understood - and this leads to much deeper issues and... well, let's just say this is not something that can come about without a 'miracle'.   An earth-shaking revelation like that of the fabled 'Hall of Records' might be quite helpful here...  I can almost imagine the semi-divine finger on the red button at this time which ignites the 'time bomb' that is the 'Hall'.

In a way, this denial arises from the 'survival instinct' of the system; any system, be it a biological organism or a company, has this build-in 'force' that makes its own survival a high priority, and this is at the heart of the collective 'corruption' problem that exists in the world.  To survive or not to survive - now that is truely the question mankind will have to ultimately ask.  Truth is in 'death'.  It is an universal truth that all existing/temporal things are destined to come to an inevitable end at some point.  Resisting it would ultimately mean resisting truth, and it is unnatural and creates a stress in the 'matrix' of the cosmos. When it is time to perish, it is time to perish. Now, I'm not advocating suicide, but if one is no longer fascinated by mystery, s/he is as good as dead anyway.  And where the 'walking dead' really belong is the grave.  The societal and belief system ('paradigm') maintained today is a 'walking dead'; its time is up.  We should just let it walk to its grave.  If it refuses - well, things are going to be messy.   Time to call up Buffy the Vampire Slayer to bring about the gift of death.

Dr. Steven Greer's 'Disclosure Project' may be viewed as 'Buffy' in action.  He, along with his highly credible 'witnesses' (many are ex-military officials), held a quite impressive press conference at the National Press Club on May 9 regarding extraterrestrial intelligence/technology and generated a respectable amount of media coverage (though the quality of the coverage was sadly shallow).  You can view the video of the whole conference here - and I highly recommend checking it out.  Dr. Greer is very intelligent and extremely eloquent that I feel he just might manage to inflict a considerable damage to the 'system in denial'.  (This was just the first of a series of more conferences he will hold in the near future.)

Another major blow related to the question of extraterrestrial intelligence was the recent release (May '01) of another image of the infamous "Face on Mars".  Though this may have been a blow to the other side - the 'Buffy' side as well as the other side of the 'Face'.   It turned out, the new high-quality picture showed the eastern side of the Face, which had not been clearly seen before, to be nothing like a humanoid face and there was no real symmetry with the other side.  Case closed?  Not so fast!  While I too felt the Face question had come to a disappointing resolution at first, the more I looked at Richard Hoagland's argument the more I began to agree with him.  Of course, many people will see this as Hoagland trying save his face (as I did initially), but I feel there is some substance to what he points out regarding the Face having a dual nature - the western half humanoid, and the eastern side leonine.  And this is not a new scheme he concocted in reaction to the new image; he's actually been saying this for about a decade.  The new image is found to quite strongly conform to this theory - not conclusive, but certainly enough to makes one wonder.  It should be pointed out that the enigmatic monuments at Giza, adjacent to the 'city of Mars', Cairo, include the Great Sphinx which also has a dual nature, a human head and the body of a lion, perfectly echoing the theorized nature of the Face.  And Mars is the planet closely associated with the Egyptian sun-god Horus; the planet was even given the same name by the ancient Egyptians that was also given to the Great Sphinx (Horakhti - ‘Horus of the Horizon’).  Also, Heru, the Egyptian name of Horus, could also mean 'face'.  Rather intriguing, isn't it?

But I must get something off my chest.  I am quite appalled that FACETS - the front organization through which Hoagland & co. pressed NASA to take the new picture - asked solely (at least for now) for the Face to be imaged.  What the hell were they thinking?  They were practically ensuring ending up with egg on the 'Face'.  Saying 'hey, that looks like a face!' just cannot be scientific no matter how much it happens to resemble a human face.  And especially with the foreknowledge that the Face probably has a dual nature (i.e. more obscure than a straightforward face), why target it now and lose the public support which had been gaining momentum?  This was a very dumb decision, in my opinion.  Simply put: 'it's the geometry, stupid!'  The most striking aspect of the Cydonia structures - though the general public is quite ignorant of this - is their sophisticated and intelligent geometric scheme (and this is scientifically provable).  So, why not target the geometrically rich "D&M Pyramid" or the Giza-like pyramids recently found there by Global Surveyor and such?  I'm sure FACETS will ask for these, but they should have done this at the beginning BEFORE the damn Face.  It just makes me angry that the 'experts' (who are otherwise quite intelligent) were so hung up on the Face that they missed a great opportunity to put a dagger in the heart to kill the zombie!

While I was away from this site, there has been a considerable growth in my "knowledge" and certain shifts in my perspective - this, of course, will certainly be reflected in the future activities of this website.  I will, however, have to still hold back certain body of information which is to be presented in my book which I have just completed writing (I cannot yet say when it will be published, but I will announce it here as soon as I find out).  It is somewhat awkward as a large part of that which has contributed to the expansion of my 'knowledge' directly derives from what is revealed in the book, but until its publication I will still have much to share with you all out there.

In particular, you can look for a new exciting project that will start very soon on this site - The Psi Sessions.  I have come to know for a fact that human psychic functioning is very real, and this new section/project will show you why.
