Europe's Underground Tunnel System

Ben sent a link about a massive European network of Stone Age tunnels that weaves from Scotland to Turkey - this story originally reported in August 2011. The text read: "Evidence of Stone Age tunnels has been found under hundreds of Neolithic settlements all over Europe - the fact that so many have survived after 12,000 years shows the original tunnel network must have been huge." If you research this European cave system, you are lead back to ... Zoroaster and the Anunnaki.

Planet Earth has many underground tunnel systems, some dating back to the beginning. Their uses vary from shelters, to secret passageways, to alleged alien bases, to subterranean cities and their secrets - after all we do like conspiracies. Most tunnels systems are a labyrinth of caves and passageways that beacon us to investigate them. Europe is not the only continent that has underground tunnels. They exist throughout the planet with interesting drawings and messages.

So what's under the Giza Plateau? With Zahi dethroned, archaeologists should find answers at last. FYI - There's no hidden Hall of Records down there.

Earthquakes also bring answers.

Catacombs also hold messages particularly about the church. Roman Catacombs (Check them out).

What's in the Box?

I updated the file Ark of the Covenant - a myth in a box - as there was a new article in the news about the ark. No sooner did I finished, when I received this email from Sandy, the friend in Tampa I wrote about in a blog December 30, 2013 called Reboot: End of Year Message. Sandy wrote...

... Florida Continued ... glitch in the Matrix from Brooklyn! lol

Monday, a transport company called me, said they had a delivery, a chest. I thought it might be from overseas...maybe some of my daughter Sarah's father's belongings, especially if his mother [Sarah's grandmother] had just passed.

Anywho I requested that it be delivered today. The deliveryman arrived a few moments ago in a very large truck and deposited a large box in my dining room. He cut open the bottom of box so I could easily lift it off when I was ready and left. I began to inspect the shipment. It was ordered from a Sandra Bourne in Brooklyn, 819 Jefferson Avenue. It's a white washed chest on legs for her Orlando condo. The label is right there on side of box. We have the exact same name but that is all.

I called Sandra Bourne's number on the label to inform her of the glitch. She sounded older with a heavy Brooklyn accent and was very nice. She immediately went into a long conversation about how anyone can find any information on any one at any time now! LOL

Sandra Bourne reporting in from FLORIDA! ...

"819 Jefferson Avenue" is not far from my first teaching assignment in Brooklyn in 1963. Here sits Sandy in the December blog seated at a desk exactly like the ones the children used back in those years.

When I called Sandy after posting her email, the name "Mom" came up on her caller ID and continues to refers to me that way. Somewhere out there ... in another space-time ...

Levitation

I updated the file Levitation as there was a new article about levitating stones. This took me to the film Knowing and the levitating black hematite stones linked to the beings of light - creators.

Many people remember flying and wish they could still do it. Do you suppose Sandy is flying through the air today or using psychokinesis to move objects? lol What's being shown are reboots and variations of our experiences together. Remember ... it's all an illusion, a magic trick like some forms of levitation, and we're having fun with it.

Gotta fly and create a new landscape of reality ... or just paint over the old one ... blending ...

I just remembered something ... Sandy is an artist and art teacher in a college in Tampa.

Today Sandy emailed: I just took a photo of a painting by my dear artist friend
from Brooklyn, Matthew Cusick, that I hung yesterday, titled "Ascension".
Then I read your updated blog that has to do with levitation.

And the beat goes on ....

One of Sandy's students just visited the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira a Roman Catholic church built within the tunnels of a salt mine 200 meters underground in a Halite mountain near the town of Zipaquira, in Colombia. The temple at the bottom has three sections representing birth, life, and death.

When Sandy told me about her student, the word "Salt" took me to the Angelina Jolie 2010 film Salt then to Sandy's last name "Bourne" and the Bourne Trilogy all of which are spy action thrillers.

Polar Vortex

David sends us this picture of Lake Michigan with the Chicago skyline in the background.

The end of the polar vortex is in sight in the US after marched down the length of the nation to the Gulf of Mexico with a glacial momentum that may have seemed unstoppable. Happily its days are numbered, as a southern one-two punch is set to knock the rare arctic blast back to Canada. By the end of the week, temperatures slingshot back to 50° here in NYC, as winter returns to normal across the country. What a roller coaster ride of weather, health, and people's emotions. Stay safe and warm.

Polar Vortex

There's only one story today ... the weather ... called a polar vortex that has much of the county immobilized in its grip. Yesterday, it was 50 degrees - today it's 10 degrees with a wind chill below zero - by Saturday we are back in the 50's. It's dangerous out there, so be careful. I'm keeping warm and working behind the scene on Crystalinks.

The End of the Incandescent Light Bulb

January 2, 2014

I bought light bulbs - lots of them - now that the incandescent lightbulb failed to meet new energy-efficiency standards, and can no longer be legally manufactured or imported into the country.. Actually my apartment is so light and bright, I rarely change bulbs, except for my office which has a ceiling fan that has five 60-watt bulbs.

I decide to give the new bulbs a try and replaced the ones in my ceiling fan. The amount of light was the same but the wall dimmer no longer worked, not to mention a funny smell in the room. It's back to the incandescent lightbulb for me.

History of the light bulb

Edison's incandescent lamp

In addressing the question of who invented the incandescent lamp, historians Robert Friedel and Paul Israel list 22 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison. They conclude that Edison's version was able to outstrip the others because of a combination of three factors: an effective incandescent material, a higher vacuum than others were able to achieve (by use of the Sprengel pump) and a high resistance that made power distribution from a centralized source economically viable.

Time Travel

We are all time travels after a fashion, in that our consciousness moves us through space and time to experience based on our programming. Next we come to physical time travel something many of us envision and hope for while in this grid reality. Some say it can be done, others say it's impossible. It happens all the time in sci-fi adventures so why not in our experience.

Time Travel: Science and News

Michigan researchers hunt for Internet remnants from time travelers

Time travel has captured the public imagination for decades, not excluding screenwriters and creative writing instructors who encourage creative leaps about stepping back and beyond the present through time. What about evidence? Specifically, they embarked on a hunt for information about anyone who may have jumped forward in time, rather than focusing on persons who had traveled to the past - those who passed through our time who could have left some trace on the Internet.

Winter

Six inches of snow fell in the city Friday, dangerously frozen in place until tomorrow when the temperature climbs into the 40's and rain washes it away. Friends in Florida often ask me to move there - not a chance as there as something magical about the winter that always embraces my energies. I can't say winter is my favorite season, for as most people would agree, the spring and autumn are the most inspiring, but winter somehow connects me more easily with the changing inserts of reality and their purpose. It's like the cycles of consciousness frozen in time reminding me about the nature of the hologram in its many facets. Until the next time ...

Snow

Friday's theme is "Snow" .... and I love it. Here in Brooklyn, we had about 6 inches so far, but this snow is blowing around, so it's hard to clean the roads. It's another day of vacation for students and many workers who can't get around. This version of the snow consists of snowflakes that are smaller than the norm due to the extremely cold weather. As the weather man explained this morning - the normal ratio is one inch of water to 10 inches of snow. This type of snow has a ratio of one inch of water to 15 inches of snow or higher.

US north-east battles first major snow storm of 2014 BBC - January 3, 2014

The north-eastern US has been hit by a major winter storm, with 53cm (21 inches) of snowfall recorded in one town in Massachusetts. Thousands of flights have been cancelled as heavy snowfall moved eastward from the Midwestern states.

The New Year begins
on a New Moon

New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions are basically a way to review your life and seek positive change.
They will work if you're programmed for change - not before. All you can do is try.

Be the Best You: 5 Steps to Better New Year's Resolutions Yahoo - December 31, 2013
The New Year is all about making resolutions. But while 45 percent of Americans say they usually make them, just 8 percent of Americans manage to keep them, according to recent data from University of Scranton researchers and the Journal of Clinical Psychology. Losing weight, getting organized, spending less and saving more are the top promises we make (and break) at the end of each year. Here are five tips for making New Year's Resolutions that you're more likely to keep.

10 New Year's Resolutions for Young Workers Live Science - December 31, 2013
The first of January is quickly approaching, and many individuals have already drawn up their list of New Year's resolutions. Losing weight, exercising more, and even being nicer to people are popular pledges to begin the new year, but what about improving your career?

Why We Make New Year's Resolutions Live Science - December 31, 2013
Planning to exercise more or eat fewer sweets in the New Year? If so, you're taking part in a tradition that stretches back thousands of years. Ancient people practiced the fine art of New Year's resolutions, though their oaths were external, rather than internally focused. More than 4,000 years ago, the ancient Babylonians celebrated the New Year not in January, but in March, when the spring harvest came in. The festival, called Akitu, lasted 12 days. An important facet of Akitu was the crowning of a new king, or reaffirmation of loyalty to the old king, should he still sit on the throne. Special rituals also affirmed humanity's covenant with the gods; as far as Babylonians were concerned, their continued worship was what kept creation humming.

December 2013 Snow Formations

Photos: Snowshoes and Math Create Frozen Art Discovery - December 30, 2013

To most people, apres-ski means a warm chalet, hot drink, spa or dinner. To Simon Beck of Great Britain, it means creating intricate pictures in the snow. And not just snow angels: Beck's snow art involves mathematical patterns and often stretches the length of several soccer fields. "There's a frozen lake outside where I stay, and one day after skiing I thought, wouldn't it be fun to make a pattern?" he said. "I didn't have any snow shoes, just walking boots, but the snow wasn't too deep and it worked perfectly well." He's been doing it ever since, creating snow art so unique that he says Disney has asked him to create an image for its winter movie, "Frozen."

Crop Circle on a farm in Chualar, California

This is strange. Monday December 30, just as a blogged about the fascinating snow formations, what should appear in California, but a mysterious crop circle carved into a barley field just east of Salinas. The Monterey Herald reported the creation spanned nearly an acre of the field. The report also mentioned the owners of the farm hired security guards to monitor the property, but reporters were escorted to see the masterpiece up-close. Some people reported seeing unexplained overhead lights before the formation was discovered. No one took credit for creating the formation. Whether created by human or extraterrestrial, weather conditions for the circle-carving were nearly ideal, with clear skies and cool temperatures, according to weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. Sadly the formation was destroyed the next day before crop circle researchers could investigate.

Though most crop circles are manmade, some researchers still maintain humans could not have created the more intricate designs. I believe the consciousness hologram of our reality created them as inserts or planted the seed for their creation in the minds of the circle makers.

For readers a day ahead, Happy New Year.
For everyone else, have fun on New Year's Eve.

We come to the end of another year as we mark events in our linear time experiment. Many didn't expect us to consciously be here this long, yet here we stand on the threshold of 2014 (7) as we move to 8. For many, the journey into awareness came to fruition years ago, while others still process the myths, metaphors, and messages. Patience down here is the learning lesson, while connections to consciousness allow us to understand it is ending.

Here in the city, we wait for Times Square celebrations, and the end of the 12 year reign of Mayor Bloomberg - the man who came to office after the 9/11 insert created the beginning of the end. What comes next? If you are a player, you will follow the events and argue the facts, if not, you will relax and wait for zero point.

The Reboot

An interesting thing happened when I rebooted my cable box Monday night. The word "boot" initially comes on divided horizontally with the letters not aligned, then it reboots. I've seen this before, but last night, it triggered something. I generally sleep 9 hours uninterrupted, don't remember dreams, then wake up with my consciousness rebooted back into my Ellie body. On rare occasions, I come back into my body too quickly - the images in my mind resembling this phenomena of not horizontally aligning properly.

Conclusion: When the images are not aligned, my consciousness needs to be rebooted or reset for my Ellie physical experience or the projections are off. For me this is rare, but for others with faulty brain circuitry, this must happen often, causing further dysfunction in physical processing. Further, with inserts changing quickly as linear time comes to a close, every day will have unexpected, unplanned, and often unexplained events. In 2014 you will more consciously be aware of moving in and out of ... linear time, different realities, and grids experiences, so as you sit there, as if in a virtual reality chair, brace for impact and remember none of it is real.

2014 Won't Be Easy

2014 begins with a New Moon 10° Capricorn whose energies have already begun.

One of the major issues is health insurance - or lack of it for some people in 2014. It will take a long time, if ever, to get the Affordable Health Care Act in an acceptable place for millions of Americans, as there isn't that much time left in the hologram. I feel lucky to have Medicare, which my cousin Richard says is the best plan out there now. In November, I added AARP supplemental Plan F. There are many scared people who will lose their medical coverage on January 1. Others will lose extended unemployment. This and other factors will drive the economy and society into a dark hole as we begin the year. You know what happens when people feel frustrated and angry - they react violently.

Check out the Earthquake Map. I noticed a red circle in the middle of the US - Oklahoma to be exact - not that far from the New Madrid Fault Zone. Then there's Italy and Japan ... which never stop rocking. When it "hits the fan", you can pause and say, "I've been watching this for years and waiting for the big one". Climate changes and natural disasters accelerate as always, but now people understand these are not isolated incidents - they are all connected and ongoing ... going ... gone.

Video: Sun has 'flipped upside down' as new magnetic cycle begins Independent - December 30, 2013

Remember crop circles? They became less interesting from year to year as we discovered they were manmade though some researchers still maintain humans could not have created the more complex designs. I believe the consciousness hologram of our reality created them as inserts or planted the seed for their creation in the minds of the circle makers.

I closed my eyes and asked about 2014. I saw an old fashioned child's desk like the one above. A large brown stately-looking boxer dog, wearing a diamond collar, was seated on the chair. The dog suddenly rebelled. Ah ... I searched the Boxer Rebellion. China is the country to watch. I also remembered other years where an end-of-year message referenced China.

China ... Tick tock ...

The big prize would be a distant human ancestor, such as Homo erectus, which emerged about 2 million years ago.

Contamination from the drills could be an issue, but should researchers discover life unique to Vostok, what it looks like will be of most interest.

Teen Mayhem in Brooklyn

As the world - especially teens - go crazy - we find these stories about Brooklyn:

Kings Plaza mall is about 20 minutes from my house in another area of Brooklyn:
Mob of teens overruns mall in Brooklyn CNN - December 28, 2013
Imagine the chaos of Black Friday -- but worse. Every shopper's nightmare was lived out on Thursday when a horde of rowdy teens stampeded through a New York mall -- screaming, wreaking havoc and banging on shop doors.

A reader of this blog sent me this story
Teen gangs accused of playing "Knock out the Jew" in Brooklyn CBS - November 14, 2013
A rash of violent anti-Semitic attacks in Brooklyn, New York recently left a local rabbi wondering if the wave of assaults is part of a game of "Knock out the Jew."

2013 --> 2014

As 2013 comes to a close, people reflect on their experiences and what has changed. Patterns and predictability are often the key, but there does exist the element of the surprise that can change one's destiny in an instant. Think about your 2013 programming when many believed we entered a new reality. Of course, it was new as reality has always been in state of ongoing quantum flux - but in 2013 more people became consciously aware it.

I am about to replace my two 2013 calendars with 2014 - already in progress. Many people have switched from paper to electronic devices to that end.

One of the highlights for me in 2014 will be the World Science Festival NYC. I'm on their mailing list - checking off events I wish to attend - such as "Ask Brian Greene". You remember Brian - a physicist and professor at Columbia University. Read more ... Maybe I'll see you there.

This is the time of the year psychics in the past had hits and misses predicting events from year to year. No one predicts major events as they were meant to come out of the blue ... the element of surprise that keeps this programming running.

Friday, December 27, 2013

Way to go ...

As 2013 comes to a close, people reflect on their experiences and what has changed. Patterns and predictability are often the key, but there does exist the element of the surprise that can change one's destiny forever. Think about your ... relationship, if any, income, health, education, and anything else that was part of your 2013 programming - when many believe we entered a new reality. Of course, it was new - as reality has always been in state of ongoing electromagnetic change - but in 2013 more people became consciously aware of the changes. Keep it simple. All of the myths and metaphors, teachers and energy work you did until now ... that was then. Your road ahead can only go in one direction ... up.

We enter the final weekend of 2013, so make it fun in any way that feels right for you. If you have Amazon Prime, they now offer unlimited, commercial-free, instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows at no additional cost. Enjoy.

From time-travel movies to wormhole entanglement, 2013 delivered a load of mind-boggling ideas. It was also the year that several big experiments delivered the goods we were hoping for: the Planck telescope provided the most accurate map of the big bang's afterglow; the discovery of the Higgs boson was confirmed, winning those who first predicted it the Nobel prize; and neutrinos from outer space were finally glimpsed. But as attempts to solve a knotty problem known as the black hole paradox reveal, we're in no danger of running out of mysteries quite yet.

I hope you are enjoying the holidays with family and friends. It feels more like Christmas in the city, now that winter has returned. It's funny how we are programmed to associated things in our lives by connecting the dots - or grid points - to verify experience. Most of the country has to deal with severe weather conditions which caused a delays for UPS and FedEx Christmas shipments. Never be a "last minute person". Always plan for the unexpected.

With the changing face of planet Earth, Christmas takes on a new look and meaning in many areas this year. People who live in local coastal areas are celebrating at home for the first time since Hurricane Sandy (much like a small tsunami) destroyed homes, churches, schools, and more, one year ago. December 26, marks the 9th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami caused by a 9.3 underwater earthquake.

I've been busy with family and friends. It's always nice to catch up with each other's lives, and what better time than the end of the year. I have two groups of friends. The first go back to childhood. I call them my mainstream friends - educated, no metaphysical background, no emotional problems nor substance abuse issues. Next, are the endless number of friends I've made in my 30-year journey into metaphysics, programmed for all sorts of dramas that set them on their metaphysical course. At the end of 2013 ... the first group have done their homework and are programmed to understand and accept the nature of reality as a hologram, often having questions about where it's all going. The second group - mostly wounded souls - have made the rounds of metaphysics but are still programmed to seek answers. Along the way, they discover they are too burned out to work and seek a way - any way - to create income within the overly saturated fields of healing. You know the patterns. It's never easy but you can sense where it's all going.

It's Always About The Children

About Santa ... most children no longer believe after a certain age, but some hold onto the notion a bit longer because they want presents and/or a sprinkle of magic much like belief in the tooth fairy. Of my grandchildren, only 8 year old Noah still believes.
