STRANGE FACES IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Amid the ruins of vast pyramid civilizations lay inexplicably intricate hieroglyphic writings and sculptures with oriental features; massive walls built with 30 ton stones fitted so precisely that a sheet of paper can not be inserted between them; and, stone heads with distinctly African faces wearing helmets, weighing 20 or 30 TONS each, which lay about randomly in the jungle. 
In the Yucatan at the ancient city of Xumal is found a magnificently sculpted building of stone named by the Spanish, “Casa del Gobernador” (House of the Ruler). The entire facade of the building is fitted with dozens of highly stylized representations of elephants! The elephants’ trunks are very easily identifiable and cannot be mistaken for anything else. Yet, there were no elephants on the American continents–at least not in recent history. So, how would the Olmec who carved the building know about elephants? The answer is obvious. The architects had seen elephants, either in Asia or Africa.
Remember, the Olmecs also carved 30-ton boulders into statues with African features, wearing helmets. Question: What kind of people wear helmets? Answer: Miners.
Also found at these sites are carvings which show people wearing helmets inside a stylized serpent cave using a tool which shoots out flame.
At Copan, there exist many sculptures of rulers who are clearly oriental, complete with characteristically slanted eyes, mustaches and beards (which the native Maya do NOT have). These sculptures are dismissed by archaeologists as inexplicable anomalies.”

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OVER THE RAINBOW & QUANTUM LEAP

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

 To go Down The Rabbit Hole is to enter a period of chaos or confusion.  The expression is an allusion to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, published in 1865.

Over the rainbow” is a state of total, irrevocable madness or delusion.  The phrase is from the film “The Wizard of Oz“, in which Dorothy is transported into another world entirely unconnected from her reality.  The film is based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,an American children’s novel written by author L. Frank Baum in 1900.

A “Quantum Leap” is when you find yourself in the middle of a situation where you have no idea what is going on, but everyone else around you assumes you do.

The term “quantum leap” is a reference to the TV show of the same name where the lead character is trapped in time and travels therein by leaping into the body of someone in the past, but having no idea who he is or why he is there. In order to leave the body, the lead character must figure out what “situation/conflict” must be resolved or wrong must be righted by the host body. The people around him assume he is the person whose body he occupies, so anything he does, the people around him think it is the host body doing it.

Chain of Life

http://www.angelomusco.com/home/  ( artist website )

The Italian photographer, Angelo Musco, evokes the primordial essence of biological survival through his prodigeously meticulous photo shoots of hundreds of naked bodies, linked in chains and configurations that suggest procreation of the species of Man.  This is a fitting tribute and summary statement for the Spring Equinox, a time in the life cycle on Earth that invites and entices sexual interchange in nearly all species of life.  Enjoy the creation!  Enjoy the sensation!  Enjoy the myriad forms of Life!  However, do not forget that EVERY life form is animated by an eternal flame, the Spiritual Essence that is the true Source and Spark of Life.   The Spirit, animating the form IS Life!!

NO THING GAMES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Before the Beginning I was No Thing: 
a Source of Awareness, of Being, of Universes.
Thought, ideas, emotion, objects and time are Things I conceived.
I agreed to play a game in which No Things became Things.  
We played and betrayed ourselves 
into an unrelenting void of shivering dark
and incandescent light.  
In my basest state, a human being, 
I am a Warrior of Survival: 
a game that grinds every soul into dust.
I have lost the game. We have defeated ourselves.
The physical universe is not our home.  
I, alone, am the Source of Serenity
in the Icy Flames of Eternity. 
Remember who we are:  
No Thing.
