MY MUSE
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
The Muses (Ancient Greek: Μοῦσαι, moũsai: perhaps from the o-grade of the Proto-Indo-European root *men- “think”) in Greek mythology, poetry, and literature, are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths.
Greek mousa is a common noun as well as a type of goddess: it literally means “art” or “poetry”. In Pindar, to “carry a mousa” is “to excel in the arts”. The word probably derives from the Indo-European root men-, which is also the source of Greek Mnemosyne, English “mind”, “mental” and “memory” and Sanskrit “mantra”.
The Muses, therefore, were both the embodiments and sponsors of performed metrical speech: mousike (whence the English term “music”) was just “one of the arts of the Muses”. Others included Science, Geography, Mathematics, Philosophy, and especially Art, Drama, and inspiration.

Some authors invoke Muses when writing poetry, hymns, or epic history. The invocation typically occurs at or near the beginning, and calls for help or inspiration, or simply invites the Muse to sing through the author. Some prose authors also call on the aid of Muses, who are called as the true speaker for whom an author is merely a mouthpiece.
Shakespeare’s Sonnet 38 invokes the Tenth Muse:
“How can my Muse want subject to invent,
While thou dost breathe, that pour’st into my verse
Thine own sweet argument?”
“No Muse-poet grows conscious of the Muse except by experience of a woman in whom the Goddess is to some degree resident; just as no Apollonian poet can perform his proper function unless he lives under a monarchy or a quasi-monarchy. A Muse-poet falls in love, absolutely, and his true love is for him the embodiment of the Muse… But the real, perpetually obsessed Muse-poet distinguishes between the Goddess as manifest in the supreme power, glory, wisdom, and love of woman, and the individual woman whom the Goddess may make her instrument… The Goddess abides.”(comment by the British poet Robert Graves)

The Maya Long Count calendar identifies a date by counting the number of days from the Mayan creation date 4 Ahaw, 8 Kumk’u (August 11, 3114 BCE). The mathematical and astronomic sophistication of the Maya culture equaled or exceeded that of the Egyptians. The databases of “artwork” and hieroglyphs available in the LINKS BELOW clearly demonstrate the elegant and exquisite quality of the Maya.
Unfortunately for the Maya and for all of human civilization, only FOUR of thousands of books of written language of the Maya civilization were survived being burned by Catholic priests. The educated scribes who could read and write the highly technical and extraordinarily artistic hieroglyphic language of the Maya were murdered by the Catholic Church, and their minions, the Spanish soldiers.
However, thousands of images of Maya writing have been salvaged from photographs of pottery, engravings and stone monuments. Fortunately, there is a marvelous database of Maya vase photos by Justin Kerr and PDFs of writings, artworks, vases and other extremely rare artifacts of the Maya civilization on the following website: http://research.mayavase.com/ In addition, a mind-boggling database of detailed drawing by Mayan Archaeologist, Linda Schele, can be seen at the link below: http://ancientamericas.org/artist/linda-schele
Investigation in the the origins of all of the “pyramid civilizations” the clutter the entire planet have not resulted in any comprehensive or fundamental understanding as the where they came from, who built them. Further, no one seems to really comprehend the vast technical, mathematical, and cultural complexities of any of these ancient and extinct civilizations of Earth. Like Atlantis and Lemuria they have sunken beneath an ocean of incomprehensible mystery.
However, when you read the book ALIEN INTERVIEW, the information revealed in 1947 by the pilot of the crashed UFO at Roswell, N.M., provides a much for complete and detailed understanding of the so-called “Creation” of the Maya and other mysterious “Pyramid Civilizations” which appeared suddenly around the entire planet! Here is an excerpt from the book that describes when and how these civilizations appeared on Earth:
“3,200 BCE — As I mentioned earlier, Earth was under attack between The Domain and the “Old Empire” forces during this period. Of course this does not make any sense to archaeologists or historians on Earth, because the Egyptian period is a space opera era period. Since Earth historians have amnesia, they assume that this was only a religious period.
Further, because the technology and civilizations installed on Earth during this period were “pre-packaged”, they did not “evolve” on Earth. Of course, there is no evidence anywhere on Earth of an evolutionary transition which resulted in sophisticated mathematics, language, writing, religion, architecture, cultural traditions in Egypt or any of the pyramid civilizations. These cultures, complete with all of the details of racial body types, hair-styles, facial make-up, rituals, moral codes and so forth, just “appeared” as complete integrated packages.
The physical evidence suggests that all evidence of the intervention of The Domain or “Old Empire” Forces, or any other extraterrestrial activity, has been carefully “cleaned up”, so as not to create suspicion. The “Old Empire” force does not want the IS-BEs of Earth to suspect that they have been captured, transplanted to Earth and brainwashed.”
