As always, I'm gong to present a bunch of ideas.
Some of these ideas are relegated to fantasy. Some of these are just ideas I just want "out there". I'd love to see movies or books written on these ideas. I believe the inspiration for ideas come from a multitude of sources. Instead of sitting on them, I want them out there for people to work with and create new things. Today I'm going to touch on some bigger themes that have been coming up a lot. I might revisit some territory but this is just a brief snynopsis. Once I'm in a better place where I can spend more time delving deeply into these topics I'll go into further depth on these ideas. So, we are going to re-visit some ideas. I have done some research on these topics but it's more of a brief sketch of the image that I see becoming clearer. I am, as you probably know, most curious about going back as far in time to trace where the ideas that became our religions came from. By understanding that, I think we can start to identify unifying ideas and better understand who we are and the principals upon which our world was built. There are very prominent themes that can be extrapolated from Laird Scranton's work with the most ancient of Knowledge....and then traced down through the many religions. Each religious perspective or take on this can give us more clarity of what the original full picture might have been. Laird's work gives us the edges of the puzzle....but it can be filled in with later mythological interpenetration of that information. Take off Your Literal Hat We have become stuck in taking things literally. While it is beautiful to think that many of the things depicted in mythology occur on the material plane of existence it is unlikely. I believe some myths take place outside of time and space. We try to understand them by our perception of things but they are almost unfathomable to us because we aren't used to interpreting information in that way. So take of that literal hat that says everything physically happens on Earth and let's go into the land of the abstract. Giants We have heard about Giants in a few sources. The alternative spiritual field are nuts for Giants. They believe they literally existed. I don't know. The Giants might refer to forces of nature. Interestingly we find a lot of referrals to Giants in different religions. The Greeks, late comers in the spiritual cosmologies that I study, believed in Titans. Their God, Zeus, slew the Titans. The Norse believed something similar. In the Norse story Odin slays his father, a devourer (the Norse equivalent to Giants), and makes the world out of his remains. (Check out this article on this subject: http://norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/giants/). Most of the alt-spiritual group refer to the Nephilim in the bible as Giants but maybe it's the Devourers. As I dig deeper into this subject by comparing Egyptian, Norse, Dogon and Christian comsmologies I'm sure I'll develop this idea further. Different Levels of Existence Realms: Spiritual concept that I will explain later...three levels of All That Is that appear to be interacting with one another. Dimensions: The rules are different in each. "Time" also exists at different rates within each. Multiple Timelines: There are probably a near infinite number of timelines. Each has a different version of us. These timelines are born from minute changes that can have big effects. Multiple Earths: Just as there are multiple timelines, there must be multiple Earths, just as there are multiple versions of each of us. Our Higher Selves, or Soul, is multi-dimensional experiencing all of this at once. In time travel, John Titor explained, multiple versions of himself went back in time. Because it wasn't perfect in dialing in a specific time, he never wound up in the exact past for his specific timeline. Then he even spawned a new Timeline by inadvertently preventing Y2K. Yet, there were multiple versions of him and one eventually would make it back to one of the future Timelines similar to his with the computer information they needed making the trip worth it because in some Timeline the effort would succeed. The Serpent Briefly I will revisit the Serpent topic. Serpents figure prominently in all myths throughout the Earth. Whether it is the Serpent that tempts Eve to eat of the Tree of Life and Death....or the Serpent Quzicotal that taught civilizing skills to the Native Americans. In my post that I have written but not shared about the Ancient Egyptian Neters because I intend to buy Laird Scranton's book on Ancient Egyptian Mythology where he breaks down their role in his cosmology comparison with the Dogon...(so that will come after Christmas)...There is a transition that I noticed. The Neters exist outside of our Time and Space (as I believe Adam and Eve did as well). They are more like Forces of Nature. Interestingly, there is a progression in their Glyphs. The first Neter's have the snake symbols as a part of their names. Then there is a transition to the Cosmic Egg, a Chick and finally 'creation' comes to fruition in the image of a Hawk (Horus). Realms Interestingly, from Laird's research there seems to be three separate "Realms" of creation. I wonder if this progression has to do with those 'realms.' The interaction of these three 'realms' are what create our reality. This also jives with what Jamie Sams has said in her book Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours. On one level there was perfect harmony in the form of waves (the well of destiny in Norse Mythology from which the tree Yggdrasil sprang? The Void in the Native American Traditions). Then there was a sense of self-perception that created Chaos. (Perhaps the Giants of Norse Mythology?) Then of course is the material world that we experience. Interestingly, I wonder if the Norse Gods are similar. They seem to exist outside of our Time and Space as well and describe cosmic forces. So I'm studying this idea. The Giants might be the original chaotic forces born from the self perception of All-That-Is, symbolized by the Egyptian Neters with the snake symbols.I believe they are the same concept as the Titans of Greek Mythology. Thor and the Midgard Serpent I'm researching this one a bit so this is prior to research so I will come back to this topic. As I said in my previous post Ragnarok is part of the cycle the God's don't realize happens. They wake up re-born with amnesia every time it happens. Yet, though it is in the 'future' (remember they exist in a place outside of our own time) it is recorded even as people are worshiping the God's that will die. In that story Thor always dies when he kills the Midgard (Earth) Serpent. This cycle is repeated over and over again each time the worlds are renewed. Nine Worlds/Dimensions Midgard is the Norse word for our world, from what I can understand. It is one of the nine worlds (nine dimensions?). Thor is the "God" of this world/dimension (Earth) and he fights the Midgard Serpent. I find this all very interesting. As Midgard suggests we are in the middle (confirmed in other sources such as the Dogon) of these Nine Dimensions. Let's say we take the Eight Neters and apply them to this idea of 9 dimensions each of them "ruling over" a dimension. The ninth missing dimension is the Abyss, or "untime" the primordial womb (Well of Destiny?) from which all of us sprung. This is always implied as though everyone knew this to be the case. in the Egyptian Cosmology...even though Neith is left out she is considered "The Mother" of the Neters. Then let's apply the snake to those...the dimensions that are "below" us would be symbolized by the snake. The dimensions above us would be symbolized by the egg, chick and Hawk. In Ragnarok Thor always dies as he slays the Midgard Serpent. If, whatever we are doing creates a new higher and lower dimension as Bashar has stated....then somehow maybe the cycle the "gods" have been in on the 9th world/dimension that leads to the destruction and renewal of it all...has been averted. Perhaps Thor has beaten the Midgard Serpent somehow? I find this to be an entertaining thought. Ophiuchus The Serpent Bearer Alright, so let's stop there for now. That's as far as my thinking has gone on that specific topic. When I went back and studied how Thor dies fighting the Midgard serpent I was stopped cold. Remember all that fuss I made about the new "Horoscope Sign" Ophicuchus? All of us know that the ancients used to say that the constellations were set in place to commemorate certain events in the celestial world. Interesting, that at this time in our history the Serpent Bearer becomes recognized...as though a new constellation has been added. Just as a new dimension/world is said to be added. If we go with the idea that the heavens are reflecting celestial non-material events...this is very interesting. In Sumeria, where it was first recognized as a sign it was not included because it did not fit their calendar well enough. There was only a two week period. Yet, the pole of our Earth has shifted since that time and so now it is being included in our Horoscopes because it is now in the sky for a significant amount of time. Now it is in the sky for about a month. So, we have the 13th sign (some see that number as unlucky but according to Bashar the number represents Transformation). Thinking like the Ancients I'd say that Thor finally conquered the Midgard (Earth) Serpent. Pole Shift This takes us to the idea of the Pole Shift. In California there has at last been a shift in the weather. NASA confirmed a pole shift, although they say it is from the time of Ancient Sumeria until now so it was a gradual shift. Edgar Cacye predicted a cataclysmic pole shift if people continued on the dangerous path that we were on. Did a pole shift happen this year around October? There were hints about a pole shift being tracked by scientists back around 2012, I believe, but then it was completely dropped. I can't find any modern reference to such a thing except for the small article about Ophiuchus by Nasa. This is just an interesting idea. What a pole shift exactly means I don't know....but it's interesting and it may mean that the strange phenomenon that we have experienced had to do with a minor shift in the magnetic pole of our planet. Jesus/Yeshua the Time Traveler? Alright, this one is just fun. I do not suggest this seriously but it was an epiphany I thought was entertaining. People say the reason we don't have conclusive books about the Jesus depicted in the Dead Sea Scrolls is that there were multiples of him. Perhaps even three. I was watching Flash Season Two and they were talking about Time Remnants. That multiple versions of the same person can co-exist in a Time Line without fracturing it if one of them Dies. Well, definitely one of the three Jesus's did die. That would also explain why they saw him after he died. Of course, as a multi-dimensional being that might have brought a lot of that energy and knowledge into this life (or remembered it through various training...if what Edgar Cacye said is true that he was taught by Hindu, Egyptian and Jewish teachers he was actually the combination of multiple faiths)...he might have been able to manifest himself as three different people. This is just an entertaining idea and it would be a solution to the paradox represented by the Dead Sea Scrolls. Conclusion This is the interesting stuff that I have been researching. There will definitely be more to come. I also want to note that it is interesting that Thor: Ragnarok is coming out next year. Did 2012 start off with an alignment of the "Nine Worlds" or "Nine Dimensions" which leads to a convergence of timelines and allows those "Nine Worlds" to interact in the cosmic soup of creation by not leading to the repetitive destruction/recreation cycle but something completely new? Is that what's causing the Mandela Effect? Perhaps later I will go more in depth to an outline for an idea on this one (think of it more of a fantasy type work then something I necessarily believe is reality but nevertheless a mind bending and illuminating different perspective). This is where the path diverges. I think one group will take a route down to World War Three (Hilary Clinton getting into office might cause that) and Civil War as John Titor eerily described... Or it could go a different route that is far less likely and a miracle... I'm in the mood for miracles. Let's go CUBS!

I have experienced a weird series of synchronistic bits of information and I decided since it is a timely subject to do a little bonus blog.
In The Sky Right Now Right now, from sun down to about 8pm if you go outside and you look to the west you will see two bright red stars and one that is a bit white in the night sky forming a triangle. Now, this intrigued me, I knew two of those were probably planets and one was Mars because of the red color. I had no idea what a second red star would be, however. Where I live with all of the light pollution it's very rare for me to notice any Star figures in the sky besides Orion's belt (my favorite and the most identifiable set of stars in a light polluted sky). I downloaded an app for my cellphone called Sky Map. I took my phone outside and held up the screen to the section of the sky and was shocked. The three stars forming the triangle are Saturn (the whitish star with the naked eye), Mars to the left and a star called Antares. Antares, it turns out, is called the Heart of the Scorpion as it lies in the astrological sign Scorpio. Further, Antares is also known as the Rival of Mars. Also, it's the 16th Brightest Star in the sky. I aimed my little phone upward a little bit more and I was shocked. Ophiuchus was just above Scorpio. The two planets, Saturn and Mars, were traveling right between these two constellations. I thought about that name, I've heard it a lot within the last month. I had just read an article about 13 astrological signs because the tilt of the Earth has changed since the Sumerians first picked out the 12 signs of the zodiac. Further, I had heard of it somewhere else... I was shocked when I realized it was in Graham Hancock's Magician's of the God's. Not only was I looking up into the heavens that a pillar at Gobekil Tepe showed...but I was also looking in the general vicinity of the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. For me, in my light polluted sky, I was amazed. Now, I could look up every evening and know where the heart of our galaxy lies! How fun! Again, and again through different areas of interest I found my attention being drawn to Scorpio and Ophiuchus. So let's explore what I've come across. The 13th Sign of the Zodiac Everyone knows what their Zodiac symbol is but NASA came out in what appears to be a page for children on January 13th of this year (2016) and decided to tell everyone that the Zodiac has shifted and that there are now 13 astrological signs. Why someone at NASA thought they should come out and make an authoritative statement about the Zodiac, I'm not sure. There are so many claiming a conspiracy at NASA at first I did not believe it until I found the article :(http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/starfinder2/en/). Apparently, in 2012 there were people who were talking about this subject. So it's not really new. The article gives credit to the Babylonian's saying that originally they noted that there were 13 zodiac signs but elected to leave one out. They did so in favor of having a constellation assigned to each of their 12 Lunar months. However, because the earth's axis has wobbled and the pole now points in a different direction the entire zodiac has shifted. So, according to the website Spirit Science here is the zodiac as we see it now: (http://thespiritscience.net/) Capriconr: Jan 20 - Feb 16 Aquarius: Feb 16th- March 11 Pisces: March 11- April 18 Aries: April 18- May 13th Taurus: May 13- June 21 Gemini: June 21- July 20 Cancer: July 20- Aug 10 Leo: Aug 10- Sept. 16 Virgo: Sept 16 - Oct 30 Libra: Oct 30 - Nov 23 Scorpio: Nov 23 - 29 Ophiuchus: Nov 29 - Dec 17 Sagittarius: Dec 17- Jan 20 Clearly, as you can see Ophiuchus is the added constellation. Gobekli Tepe I read the articles by Spirit Science and NASA the day after I had held up my phone to view Saturn and Mars pass between Ophiuchus and Scorpio. I was stunned, there was that strange familiar constellation. Where had it heard it before? I have mentioned this before but there is a pillar at Gobekli Tepe, pillar 43, that might depict a specific alignment between the pillar and a portion of the heavens. Paul Burley submitted an article to Graham Hancocks website on the phenomenon. Basically, the pillar represents an eighty year window between 1960-2040. On December 21st the sun rests on the outstretched wing of the bird depicted in the pillar which is also in alignment with the galactic center. Yes, I know this is awfully reminiscent of 2012. As a matter of fact when reviewing all of this information about Ophiuchus and Scoprio that date showed up often. 2012 represents what might have been the central point of that 80 year period between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. In the pillar depiction is a series of three vultures, or birds, snakes and the scorpion. The birds, one a chick, one with wings outstretched and one depicted with a snake all coincide with shapes of the constellations in the area of the heavens where I was looking last night. This is all per Graham Hancock's Book Magicians of the Gods (pgs 321-323) The scorpion coincides with Scorpio but it's actually a small part of the constellation we know. The vulture with the outstretched wings coincides withe Saggitarius. The Vulture chick coincides with the head and claws of what we consider Scorpio today. Antares would actually be in this constellation. The bird with the snake coincides with Ophiuchus. An Pyramid Alignment I stumbled across this just today when watching a video on Ra-Ta, the Egypitian incarnation of Edgar Cacye. I didn't think the lecture I was watching on Youtube would have anything to do with this area in the sky. I will attach the video to the end of this post. Yet, strangely enough, this area depicting Ophiuchus and Scorpio is indicated during the time that Edgar Cacye says the Pyramid was built. There have been several authors (including Graham Hancock that have independently suggested the date of around 10,500 BC as the time when the Pyramid and Sphinx were built based on astronomical alignments). This exact area of the sky was also indicated by the Pyramid. On 12/21/10440 BC on the the Zenith and Nader axis. Yeah, I know the fact the December solstice was indicated again. Also, there is a connection with the three birds again when the Pyramid was built. In this case, a triangle was formed in the sky by three bird constellations. Those were Lyra (the hawk holding a lyre), Cygnus (swan) and Auilus (Eagle). They were directly above the pyramid as it was built. According to Edgar Cacye, the pyramid was to symbolize the involution of the spirit into flesh and evolution out of the flesh. The Pyramid contains a timeline that ends in 2038 and is a map for humanity, set in stone that could not be destroyed, as a testament to our purpose here on Earth. Here is that purpose in summary: "The premise put forth in the readings is that one of the ultimate goals in life is to somehow give expression to the souls individuality while we are in the Earth- thereby bringing Spirit into Earth. To this end each indivudal has the ability to manifest a unique vibration that somehow reflects the very image of the divine." pg 109 of Contemporary Cacye by Kevin Todeschi and Henry Reed. Scorpio Scorpio, the astrological sign that holds Antares, known as the Scorpion's Heart, is interesting. It's come up a few times in what I've read. First and foremost, as I mentioned, Scorpio is depicted as both a Scropion and as part of a vulture chick on the Gobekli Tepe Pillar. Astronomers refer to Scorpio as the Fish Hook. Yet, in Ancient Egypt it was most likely to represent the Heka-Staff or the Shepard's Crook. Both of these have significant meaning to the Egyptians. The Heka staff was one of the symbols of the Pharaoh. The Heka-Staff, basically, represents a spiritually awakened individual. More or less, according to John Van Auken, it represents someone with a fully functional Kundalini. The Kundalini is the energy that passes up the spine through the chakra's and it's known as the 'god force' of an individual. Also, we clearly associate the Shepard's Staff with both Moses and Yeshua (Jesus). Again, in both of these cases the suggestion is that this is a fully spiritually awakened individual. Ophiuchus Typically, Ophiuchus as a man holding a serpent by the head and tail (the snake is a constellation called Serpentarius). Strangely, the man is said to face opposite Orion. Which is true, because if you look up into the night sky to the right is Orion and to the left is Ophiuchus. The constellation is tied to several interesting Gods. The Greek's saw it as a man who learned the secret of immortality from snakes and so was struck dead by a lightening bolt before he could share it with the rest of humanity and placed among the stars. To the Sumerians it was the Annunaki God Enki which is fascinating in his own right as he was seen as one of two competing Gods for the Earth. He was the Lord of the Seas. His symbol was fish. The website Spirit Science connects Ophiuchus to Joseph in the bible (according to Edgar Cacye, interestingly enough, this was one of Yeshua's incarnations). There is actually ample evidence to suggest that Joseph was Imhotep in Egypt. Both were stewards to the Pharaoh during seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. (I suggest looking this up, it's a bit fascinating). If we don't look at the other information and just the image itself, we could say that Ophiuchus is the man who has tamed the Serpent. Which has an entire meaning of it's own. The serpent representing earthiness and temptation, being tamed has much the same meaning as the Heka-Staff or a person who is spiritually awakened. Also, it's interesting to note that in Wikipedia it's mentioned many cultures saw Ophiuchus trampling the Scorpion. The Scorpion, if you might remember, is connected to the Kiss of Death that Judas gave to Yeshua. Ophiuchus, the symbol when taken in it's entirely can be seen as taming his worldly nature and triumphing over Death. Birds So I mentioned, interestingly, that what emerged in the information that I came across is the theme of three birds. On the Pillar in Gobekli Tepe it could be seen as the chick, the bird with it's arms outstretched signifying where the sun in the galactic alignment on it's wing, and one holding a serpent. The second, is the significance of three bird constellations that if we hopped into a time machine we would have seen circling the tip of the pyramid as it was being built (which was over a hundred year period according to Cacye). John Van Auken explains that in Egypt the Soul, or Ba was depicted as birds. Souls that were not incarnate were depicted as having bird heads. The bird could also represent the Higher Self. Egyptian beliefs were focused on uniting the Ba (the soul) with the Ka (the human consciousness). The Ba, is the aspect of ourselves that always remains before the Throne of God or in heaven (I've explained before I see this as the Higher Self). Interestingly, Laird Scranton also talks about the Vultures at Gobekli Tepe. He connects the vultures to Goddesses. He ties Vultures to Isis and Nephthys but he gives no explanation for why there is a third vulture. A search provided that there is a third Vulture Goddess called Nekhebet but Laird does not mention her in his work and I'm not sure it would fit in with the cosmology he has worked out. She too is also associated with Isis and Nephthys but may be a later adaptation during the New Kingdom. In Egypt, both Isis and Nephthys are depicted as vultures. He also notes that Vultures are also tied to Large Breasted Eagles. He ties this in with Gobekli Tepe by saying Tebe might be etymologically significant. The word vulture is Tebe in Egyptian which is the root for the word Tebelu which means, "Moment when Humanity was restored to culture." (pg. 51-52 Point of Origin). The Serpent The following could be it's own post and in the future I might expand on this topic. I'm simply going to summarize what I have become aware of without quoting anyone. There is clearly, the suggestion that the Serpent is associated with Sin. Yet, the Serpent was actually considered a sign of abundance in Egypt. There were a few gods that were depicted as snakes that were benevolent. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead there was also Apep, who was considered evil. However, I think what seems to be most universal is that it represents a focus on material objects (abundance in a way) and material reality which is what caused the falling away from the connection with God/The Universal Source. After all, it was Eve's desire for a material object that caused "sin" in the bible. This is a very basic or primitive state of Spiritual Life. So, it represents an animal that slithers on its belly and is very Earthly all of it's life. From Snake To Bird What I noticed when studying the eight Neters of Egyptian mythology that within their names there were certain symbols. Serpent- Atum, the self created one is depicted as a serpent along with his daughter Tefnut. Birds- Shu has a chick in his name, Geb has a goose, and Horus has the Falcon. The reason I find this interesting is that these eight ancestors are associated with different stages of creation or matter. They might have even been connected to stages similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs with Horus representing self-actualization. Even more interesting is that in another metaphor creation consists of four stages: 1. The Dung Beetle (non-existence), 2. The Fish (or Snake which was mentioned in another part) (raising up of matter or mass/also depicted as the BenBen stone in the Atum myth), 3. The Jackal or Fox (matter in the state of reorganization) 4. The Goose (completed state). (Cosmological Origin of Myth and Symbol by Laird Scranton) Add to this that the Egyptians were the first ones to create the image of the Beanu bird- the Greeks called it a Phoenix- that rises up from it's own ashes...and Ancient Egypt definitely had a thing for birds as a symbol for Spirit and Spiritual Rebirth. Now, add to this Quetzalcoatl in North and South America. What is Quetzalcoatl? A serpent with wings. This is the combination of the Snake (worldly aspect) being given wings (heavenly aspect). In other words, a person who has combined their material and spiritual aspects. In the stories he didn't always have wings, however, there is a certain period in time when he receives his wings, which is in this eighty year time span. Conclusion Well, I've pretty much exhausted the little synchronicity experience I had in the last few days. I don't know if it means anything but it is fascinating that a constellation I had no idea about and received very little press has taken such prominence in my life. I find it interesting that Mars, associated with war or battle, is aligned with it's rival Antares and Saturn. I might investigate those three a bit deeper. I'm not sure if this has any meaning to people in the general population. For me, personally, it reminds me of the humbling nature of Creation. To me this is all happening comes at a very interesting time. I've reached a comfortable sense of Wholeness. My impressions working with my dreams and waking life is that I am imbuing more of my Spirit in the physical realm with the emphasis on the importance of individuality . I think John Van Auken said it best: "Our souls have traveled throughout the cosmos from the beginning of creation. Many of us, our souls, went through the initiations of these ancient mystery schools and temples during the thousands of years of descent into matter...As we reawaken the soul-self within us, we will remember and understand...This is one of the great aspects of this new era which we are entering, an Awakening- an Awakening like none other, where whole groups of souls rise to a more universal, eternal view of life, past and future." pg 4 Ancient Egyptian Mysticism.
