Will we be like Atlantis long ago??

0 comments

This weekend I decided to catch up on some reading. I feel refreshed now that I have learned the things that I have; I never could have guessed that I would come to realize things as I do now. It is quite a long story, my reason for seeing things in this light, but I will try to explain it as best I can for anyone who wishes to sit through such explanations.

One of my longest and most mutually beneficial friendships has extended from high school until this very day. This friendship has brought me to realms of thought that I could not have conceived otherwise. One of the first such extensions, beyond that which was known at that early time, came when this friend started turning me on to Pink Floyd and the like. At the time, I understood little of what was being said in the music, but I enjoyed the originality of the music far more than that music to which I had been exposed to in the past.

Sitting here and thinking about it, having been nearly 8 years since my first experience of this sort, I am amazed at the path that I have taken. Were anyone to have told me, back then, that everything that i would do after my exposure to the levels of higher consciousness brought forth by Pink Floyd, I would have not believed them. I can now see, after all of these years, that I have had but one resolve; this resolve was to delve as far into the occult ideas set forth by Pink Floyd and the like, and that is exactly what I have done. I still have yet to reach a point at which I can say I've delved as far as I can go; this is because the music of Pink Floyd and all of those like them is truly Abysmal indeed.

After my experience of Pink Floyd continued on for awhile I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the work of Maynard James Keenan and from this point the influx of novel concepts was truly tremendous indeed! Maynard James Keenan is one of the few artists that I can honestly say has helped the state of musical expression to evolve in a manner which helps those who listen intently to reach states of higher being.

Well, I spent years listening to all of this music and many related artists and still do to this day, but there is one thing that I have overlooked until the last few months. My friend was very fond of a man named Edgar Cayce and, at times, would encourage me to read writings about him. Unfortunately I overlooked this for many years; recently, however, I have re-discovered Mr. Cayce and am awe struck at what I have learned.

Edgar cayce lived in the early part of the 20th century. Mr. Cayce is quite an anomilie indeed; he has been termed the "sleeping prophet" by many. He was known to drift into a trance state and diagnose individuals' illness better than any doctor ever could; he would perform many of his diagnoses from hundreds of miles away without any pre-existing knowledge of the individual to whom he was giving the diagnosis! These readings were wittnessed by people from the general public and recorded for later study.

The readings of Mr. Cayce have been studied so as to determine their accuracy and consistency and have been found to be extrodinarily accurate. Individuals who were desperate for treatment would often come to Cayce for a health reading and say nothing of their pre-existing conditions (they wished to test his psychic abilities for themselves before taking his advice). Extrordinarily, Cayce would discover their pre-existing conditions in addition to any other problems; he would then give guidance as to which dietary habits, etc, would fix such problems. Some time after the readings were done, individuals were sent questionaires asking how effective the reading was and, at times, asking some specific questions about the reading.

For the last few months I have been exploring Mr. Cayce's teachings. I began by studying the health teachings and have benefitted enormously both in body and spirit from his teachings. It is a little known fact that if one wishes to begin on the path to enlightenment they must start with a balanced diet; the diet laid out by the Edgar Cayce readings is excellent for "spirtual development." I've been adhering to the dietary guidelines, which I have discussed in recent entries, and have recently begun to feel very much different than ever before.

I now feel an energy, the Chinese call this "Chi" circulating freely through my body via the meridians therin. Not only can I feel this circulating through my body, but I also feel it radiating out of my head and body; it is as if there are two spheres of energy (a large sphere for the body and a small one for the head). I would liken this entire experience to breaking free from encasement in a cement block. I've spent years getting out, but now I feel as if i'm standing on the pile of rubble that was once a form of imprisonment.

Edgar Cayce did much more than simply health readings, however, and that is where much of the controversy about him lay. He would also give what are called "life readings" in which he would describe how past lives currently effect individuals. During these readings about past lives Cayce would often describe what was going on in the world and how the individual was involved. While describing many of these past lives, Cayce stumbled upon some events that are directly in contradiction with our widely held notions of "history."

Most of the "learned" history buffs think that history basically began with the Egyptians and Sumerians and then really became active with the Greeks and all of their exploits, but Cayce's readings give us an entirely different view of history. Cayce describes the period before the Egyptians in STAGGERING detail and consistency. Many have studied Cayce's life readings and found them to be without inconsistancy! This man gave tens of thousands of readings, a few thousand of which were life readings and scholars, to this very day, have not been able to find inconsistencies among the many thousands of life readings.

If anyone would like to find out about the period considered unknown by the history books, then I would advise you to read everything you can about Edgar Cayce's Atlantis readings. Cayce claims that most of the individuals born in modern day America are re-incarnations of those individuals who once lived in Atlantis; this being the case, individuals born in the modern day have the same sub-conscious tendancies as those who once lived in Atlantis.

If you read what he has to say about the history of Atlantis, you will be amazed to find that we are very much the same as Atlantis and are likely to meet the same fate if we don't learn what happened there. Most importantly, we need to have a sense of our true history if we are to understand what it is we are doing here on Earth. The period covered by the existence of Atlantis covers a great deal of time and explains how we got here and the forces at work on Earth TO THIS VERY MOMENT.

If anyone is interested, I would recommend the following books:

This book delves deeply into the the Atlantis readings given by Edgar Cayce. It is very well written without bias one way or another, very scientific in its scrutiny of the readings, etc:

Edgar Cayce On Atlantis

This book looks into the health advice given by Cayce. I can attest that the dietary guidelines outlined in this book are simple and effective and will change the life of anyone who earnestly follows them:

Edgar Cayce on Healing Foods for Body, Mind, and Spirit

The books listed above are good starters. There is also a great deal of information about all of these things on the web, just search for it and you will find very well organized information about all of this to wet your apetite. It is important that this knowledge reaches as many as possible; i feel this way because I think that the message contained therin will help to heal the disheveled masses of people who feel that their lives have little purpose or meaning and cannot find any credible form of guidence to help them with their problems. Please take some time to earnestly consider these ideas and it will become apparent as to why I have made such an effort to say these things.

The time has come to stop seeing ourselves as individuals immersed in our own little material creations; it is time to realize that we are spiritual beings manifest in physical bodies. One's essence combines with the physical at the time of conception; this is done so that one can experience materiality and grow to reach higher levels of consciousness. Liberate the spirit that is in your body by partaking of the right substances regularly and having the right understanding of how we arrived at the Earth and why.

a time of change

Yesterday I went roller blading with my Polish friend Viacheslav and went to his house for awhile afterwards. While there I was exposed to an array of traditional Russian music, painting and literature. I also tried a type of tobacco that comes compressed in charcoal-like discs and is smoked out of a large hooka that looked to be the style of hooka used in eastern europe.

Viacheslav told me alot about his father, who he seems quite proud of, who works for NASA and has done some interesting work. At one point his father performed alchemy by transmutating palladium to copper and other elements.

The Russian culture that his family finds its roots in is steeped in a pastoral lifestyle. The music of this culture contains often simple, yet elegant, vocals. I was told that the music after the communists came to power was of poor quality, however, and lacked much of the true spirit that earlier music contained.

Viacheslav showed me a beautiful backyard garden that he maintains full of useful and delicious vegetables and fruit trees. He told me that his compost heap, which was rather large, will steam when the bacteria inside really starts to digest the waste contained therin.

I've been thinking about compost heaps lately and decided that I would like to have one myself. All that I'm going to need is some organic waste which comes from garden plants, food waste (no meats) and yard waste. Simply mixing the waste up in the right proportions and layering with old soil produces an environment in which bacteria digests the waste aerobically producing a very rich mixture as an end product. After about two or three months the compost heap will have produced a fresh batch of the most excellent soil one can have.

It is intersting to think of the possibilities of being self-sufficient in the production of one's produce and soil. Throw a greenhouse into the equation and one can have fresh produce year round and save a great deal of money while eating an optimal diet rich in produce.

Today I have eaten very well and feel quite energetic. I awoke this morning, peeled and ate a fresh orange. For lunch I had a bowl of baby spinich leaves topped with a head of brocolli and sweet peas. I feel like my system is in its peak health state and I am almost completely recovered from the sore throat and nasal drainage that I experienced last night as a result of being exposed to outdoor volatile organic compounds (VOC's) such as oak pollen for an extended period.

The brocolli, rich in vitamin B12, is excellent to help the body in nerve-building. This is especially useful in the meal which is taken in the evening, since during the sleep period the body builds and repairs its neurological systems.

Every day I strive to become further self-sufficient; i have the groundwork lain and will, in the forseeable future, be able to produce much of my own food and process most of my organic waste with the compost heap. This, i do, for many different reasons.

I think it is of the utmost importance that humanity cease the divorcing of individuals from the production of their sustainence and management of their waste. It is only after this that individuals will realize what must be done to handle these problems. I fail to understand why individuals will spend so much time on their lawn and flowers and not dedicate any of their property to the growth of fresh produce.

Imagine the impact if people were to begin using composting to manage waste and grow the brunt of their own vegetables. If this were so then individuals could trade vegetables with each other and foster a sense of community well-being and awareness. I intend to produce a surplus of vegetables, especially tomatoes, and give them away to my friends in the hopes that they will strive to do the same.

If we band together and use the land that lay worthless, growing only grass and weeds, then we can enrich the soil and make organic foods in abundance. Weather patterns are about to change, especially in Europe, the ocean current that brings warmth to Europe and allows for a decent growing season is coming to a halt. This means that Europe, over the next few years, will experience a dramatic cooling effect and food will need to be imported; this will raise the price of produce ACCROSS THE BOARD and further increase the necessity of self-sufficiency.

Earth is quite a paradise; I find myself in awe as each new day unfolds and I challenge myself to be one with this Earth and its inhabitants. The practice of careful cultivation of the self and of the food for the self is a spirtual practice indeed; it helps one to reach the higher levels of aesthetic sensibility and spirtual awareness. To live a sort of monastic lifestyle, generally separated from the harmful influences of modern day culture, in a state of quiet study and careful husbandry is truly noble and will benefit the individual embarking on such a quest more than they might imagine.

I hope that man can learn to appreciate the true garden of paradise in which we live and not fall victim to the fear of one's neighbors and the manipulations promulgated by the elite who seek to divide humanity for their own purposes. Self-sufficiency and de-centralization of the societal structure are the solutions to these problems which have vexed our peoples for thousands of years.

a great day for freedom

The earth is starting to warm the northern hemisphere as the season advances towards the northern hemisphere experiencing summer. The air, being so warm, is able to absorb a great deal of water and is thus extremely humid in this northern alabama city; a city in the midst of the blanket of forrested land stretching throught the tennesee valley.

Yesterday I took it upon myself to roller blade to the river and back. I decided to bring along some music and chose Tool's Lateralus album. I had never really timed my pilgrimage to the river but this time I was able to time it to the album. I managed to make it to the river, sit and watch the beautiful reflection of Sol accross the river (which stretches for about half a mile between its banks), and return the the place from whence I came.

All told, the journey was about a 12 mile round trip done in about 40 minutes (about a 3 minute mile pace). I have, over the past year, made an effort to take the journey at least once weekly as a way in which to enrich the spirit.

The connection that I feel while gliding along the pavement is irreplaceable; I cannot think of another sensation like it. It is the most wonderful feeling once you get to a good cruising speed (approximately 27mph) and have the skates moving in such a way that the previous stroke perpetuates the motion and leads to the next. Once at the cruising speed one can take a sharp turn with a mere stepping motion along the turn and most of their energy is merely slingshotted into the new direction.

Roller blading is truly a unique experience; I find it to be most therapeutic indeed...

The Other Side Of The World

I Won't Think It
I Won't Speak It
But I Feel It
And I See It
And It Comes Down
And Surrounds Us
With Sensation
With Perfection
Without Purpose
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And There's Movement
On The Other Side Of The World

With Each Movement
New Reactions
Cause Sensations
Which Move Through Us
And The Warm Wind
Kissed Your Body
And The Sun Was Rising
On The Other Side Of The World
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And Sensation
On The Other Side Of The World

Now I Breathe It
And I See It
Before Thinking
And It's Perfect
Without Purpose
And There's Colour
And There's Light
And They're Rising
On The Other Side Of The World

a rite of passage

1 comments

It is interesting to notice the changes in one's life merely for the fact that they have a piece of paper backed by some phony institutional reputation. I'll be damned if I ever figure out why government contractors are paid based upon the degrees of an individual rather than on the productivity of an individual. I've never seen such a situation in which total idiots are paid 50% more than those performing the same tasks with exceptional productivity.

Now it is I who is riding the "degree" gravy train like my father before me and his father before him. It is such an "average" way to live; conforming to institutional norms, meeting deadlines, and acting cordial to people, some of which are forever fucking you in the ass. I've always been fucked by some instituion or another, just in a far worse way while I was attending school and working at that shitty Hilton hotel.

Now, like my father before me and his father before him, I am to work for public funds gathered from tax collection and the looting of the social security "trust fund." I am to live on a subsistence from the military-industrial machine that would be a wet dream to men like Adolf Hitler who has alot to do with our current president, coincidentally.

How is it that the people of the civilized world tolerate the abuses of public funds that lead to contractors, altogether, accumulating hundreds of billions of public tax dollars in their annual profits?

One often thinks of the simmilarities that the western world bears to the ancient roman and greek worlds. The western world was modeled from those societies. As time advances societies remain as corrupt as before, there is not some gradual purging process as many might think. In todays incarnation of the entities like those in the past, the corruption has been reduced in some areas and and increased in others.

Individuals have more "personal freedom" in the modern day, but are subject to a society that is so highly centralized and grossly manipulated economically so as to produce a hegemony among the peoples. This hegemony is the result of the standardization of each and every aspect of one's life, little by little.

This hegemonic standardization cannot take place without inventions such as television in which people have a sort of idealogical hegemony fed to them directly via one way channels. This device has done more harm to people that I have known and loved than any other. I can scarcely communicate with most people, if they are watching television, unless a commercial gives them a "break" from their fix. Shows on cable try to homogenize values in ways that are conducive to the needs of the "sponsors" who want you to like and buy alot of useless crap and feel worthless emotions about the crap you buy.

While watching television, I feel as if i'm being crushed by an image of my life thats nothing but unreal; i feel as if i'm wittnessing the slow death of the dreams of humanity one by one. When will we realize that life is not about the beauty of a teenage queen or the realization of absolute good or evil? These stumbling blocks are keeping us from living in the present moment. They cause one to be indifferent to the moment at hand given the assumption that such sacrifices will one day lead to moments that are "superior."

infinite paths

i've had quite a cascade of experiences in the last 72 hours, ever since i began seriously investigating the mysteries of the higher dimensions and their relation to ethereal body.

i picked up a book, astral dynamics, and after a few chapters i was brought to a new understanding.

it is far less difficult than many believe to experience and recall travel in the higher dimensions during one's sleep. all one need do is understand what takes place when one's energy is sent out into the higher dimensions. the spirit is in one state in the body while awake; it is in a much higher energy state in the higher dimensions because it is separated from the ethereal body.

thus, in order to reach the higher dimensions it is necessary for the spirit to split from the ethereal body, creating a high energy copy, for the traversal of the higher astral dimensions. even if you are good at paying attention to what occurs while reaching the sleep state, it is difficult for you to remember because of all of the changes leading up to the journey away from the ethereal body. the shift into higher dimensions is confusing if one doesen't understand what is taking place.

it is important to understand that the higher energy form entering the higher planes of the astral at the time of trance is a copy that has its own experience; back at the ethereal body, there is another experience of dream which is not a part of the higher dimensions; these dreams are contrived of the brain. the spirit cannot completely leave the ethereal body while alive.

this leaves me with pause, just the mere consideration of higher dimensions. this tells me that the ethereal body is merely a containment vessal whose purpose is to allow the spirit to reach the higher realms when it is ready. i am prepared to delve into this mystery with all of my intrigue. there is certainly much more to life than that which is going on in this real-time reality, the reality that is seen the ethereal world.

most of us have not considered anything but the ethereal world as being a part of ourselves, but new knowledge is coming to light; knowledge that was previously unavailable. all of us can now discover the manner by which one ventures into the higher realms of the astral. now all of us, who have the will to do so, can achieve levels of being that transcend the fiefdom pinning us to the real-time ethereal world and the suffering of all of those who inhabit the earth.


Din Fiv - Infinite Paths - lyrics

You can sail the ocean blue
You can fly among the clouds
You can search the world for gold

you can seek a life of fame
you can toil and control
you can hear a higher call

in our hearts
in our minds
in our short and fragile time
we must all decide just what it means to be alive

you can look into my eyes
you can wish upon a star
you can walk a thousand miles

you can paint a moon-lit sky
you can scale a rocky wall
you can feed a starving child

in our hearts
in our minds
in our short and fragile time
we must all decide just what it means to be alive

you can drink till you're no more
you can dig an early grave
you can fight a losing war

you can build a better world
you can find someone to love
you can hope there is a cure

in our hearts
in our minds
in our short and fragile time
we must all decide just what it means to be alive

experiences with the lapis lazuli

2 comments

lately i've been reading alot of new material. i have studied what, regrettably, i have long neglected, edgar cayce. I have learned so many things about health, life, and spirit forces that i am trying to fit it in with the old schema of my life. this old schema has old friends whos beliefs, i have found, are at odds with the ideas of mr. cayce. i am troubled now to bridge the gap so that i might be able to comminicate about things as important as this.

recently i purchased some jewelry which contains a great deal of lapis lazuli stone. I have uncovered many edgar cayce readings referring to the stone, it appears to be the most important stone described in the cayce readings. The following is an excerpt from a reading which describes the stone and its meaning...



attunement is made through such vibrations, just as there may be with the tungsten in a portion of a vacuum that may raise those sound Waves that through their relativity of activity of the electrical vibration that makes for the activity of the atomic forces in same give that which is gathered from the ether waves. So may numbers and those vibrations from stones as given, with metals such as come in the lapis lazuli. 707-1


Hence we find numbers, or numerology, as well as symbols becoming a portion of the entity's experience. We would find that something BLUE always worn about the body will create a vibration that enables the entity to think, as it were, without interruption; but the blue should be not dark - nor that real light - but more of an even shade. The lapis lazuli stone would be well to wear about the body. This is as a chrysalis to be sure of copper; thus the very natures of same produce those emanations for the body in which the environ is made for keeping holy things holy, and material things in their proper relationships. For it acts as it were as a storage of energies of the inner self. 880-2


having worn the stones for several hours today, i feel as if an energy of sorts is resonating between me and the stones. I don't know, very well, how to describe such energy. it is best to wear the stones and see for yourself.
