THE PEOPLE
“The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness. …this and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector. When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader”.
“Plato Greek: (423 – 348 BCE) was a philosopher, as well as mathematician, in Classical Greece. He is considered an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his teacher Socrates and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science.
Plato’s dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, and innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.”

“Most of the IS-BEs on Earth are good, honest, able beings: artists, managers, geniuses, free thinkers and revolutionaries who have harmed no one, really. They are no threat to anyone except the criminals who have imprisoned them.They must find out about the “Old Empire” amnesia and hypnosis operation. They must remember their own past lives. The only way this will ever happen is to communicate, coordinate and fight back. We have to tell other people and they have to discuss it openly with each other. Communication is the only effective weapon against secrecy and oppression.”

“CREATION” OF THE MAYA
Drawing by Linda Schele (Click to enlarge) See more at http://ancientamericas.org/artist/linda-schele
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.”

CROSSROADS OF FOUR WINDS
I don’t often pay much attention to UFO stuff, but a friend of mine sent me the following article about Mount Bugarach, which located in the Pyrenees Mountains in France that has been related to legends of Mu, Lemuria, Atlantis and UFOs for centuries.
The mountain, 1230m high, is known as “The Crossroads of the Four Winds” and also as the Mountain-with-its-feet-in-the-air, because it once blew up and the top part of it landed upside-down-down. There does seem to be more of it above than below. It dominates the south of Aude; you can see it from almost everywhere. It is an orientation point – they used it to orientate Monségur, the “last stand of the Cathars”, because compasses don’t work on the pog.
The mountain is a dormant volcano; ariel photos clearly show its crater. It is full of limestone caverns and the internal fires still raging deep down give rise to the hot springs that flow down towards Rennes-les-Bains from Sougraine in the form of the River Sals. The water is also slightly radio-active.
If you climb up the mountain after sunset, you will hear strange noises and see strange lights (some brave souls have done it) and the legends of strange lights and flying saucers are tumbling over each other for recognition. Your ears start buzzing – well, so would mine after that climb! Then you’ve got to get back down in the dark. Most of the reports of UFOs are sightings of clouds, and it is rare day when no cloud hovers over Bugarach and its crater.
Underneath the mountain, legend says, is a huge lake, on which space-ships can sail, until such time as they need to return to their native planets. This is strange, because other legends say that underneath Bugarach is the grand forgotten continent of Lemuria. You can still find web-sites about “The People of Mu”; a sacred race. Today Rennes-le-Château, however, is competing for this legend – the Temple of Lemuria, built over a sacred spring, stood on the plateau beneath the citadel of Rennes.
Bugarach is also apparently an outpost of Atlantis, the legendary utopian civilization where all was sweetness and light, that existed somewhere near Iceland about 12,000 years ago, and then disappeared but meanwhile gave its name to the Atlantic Ocean. There are some rocks between Bugarach and Mont Cardou, just to the north of Rennes-les-Bains, called The Gates of Atlantis.
Some of these legends are patently ridiculous, but people cling to them as though they are pets. The village of Bugarach, at the foot of the mountain, is very concerned. I have a press cutting from 2007, saying the maire was seriously worried. “Strange pilgrims” he said, “Have paid a ransom for houses that now have esoteric names. I’m afraid these are owned by sects or cults.” In short, mystic fever exists. “They have made the peak sacred, some of them are even searching for the grave of Jesus Christ.” The newspaper observed that it was true – the village of Bugarach and its mountain had caught Rennes-le-Château fever.
The latest report (late 2010) is that the harrassed maire he will call out the army if necessary, for strange people are already gathering so that the aliens can lift them off the mountain and save their lives when the world ends in 2012, according to the Mayan calendar. If I remember correctly, (I saw it on a film I have, called “What Time Is It?”) the Mayans said that TIME would end, not the world. But they were wrong – for the Mayans no longer exist, do they? Their time stopped a long time ago.
Let’s get back to real history. In the year 889 the village was called Villa Bugario, implying it belonged to a Roman called Bugarius. Many villages in Languedoc whose name ends in -ac were of Roman origin, and by 1194 the village was called Ste Marie de Bigarach and it was known as Bugarach by 1781. I think we can assume that the settlement of Bugarach started its life in Roman times, around 70BC, if not a little before. It would have been well-established when Mary and Jesus passed on their way to Rennes-les-Bains and they probably stayed overnight there.
The story that Bugarach was named after the children of Jupiter, Bug and Arach, is a children’s fairy tale. After the Crusade against the Cathars, who supposedly had a faith descended from that of the Bogomils (but it has been proved they didn’t) the legend arose the mountain was named after the Bulgares, Bogomils or even Buggers!!!
I have found no trace of the name Bugario or Bugarius in Roman history, but that doesn’t mean one didn’t exist, of course. After all, the Roman soldiers who colonised Gaul came from all over the Roman Empire; after serving their time, they were entitled to Roman citizenship and were often asked, during the last years of their service, to act as colonisers and take their soldiers, their soldiers’ families and their own families with them.
The Victorian writer from Carcassonne, Louis Fédie, says the village was originally a Celtic oppidum, which became Gallo-Roman. This implies it was a position that guarded the old road, which would have been Celtic before it was Roman – it was certainly a Celtic packhorse route before it reached Rennes-les-Bains. Fédie says the church was built in Visigothic times, that is sometime before 769AD. It was originally consecrated to St. Anthony the Hermit, a third century saint, as is the hermitage in the nearby Gorge of Galamus. Still today, every Ash Wednesday, there is a procession through Bugarach village, featuring a hermit who carries a cross. On the cross is a horse’s collar with bells on it – and also strings of pork sausages! This is because St. Anthony the Hermit is the patron saint of pork butchers. The pig, usually a jolly fellow featured in pictures of him, is supposed to represent the dreadful temptations Anthony suffered in the desert – the Devil was particular keen to tempt him into “fornication.” The saint resisted magnificently and didn’t die until he was 84.
The church at Bugarach has lots of “pagan” symbolism in it. There is only one depiction of Christ – he is on his cross and his eyes are open, implying that he didn’t die. One enters the church to see the altar at the far end – and on either side of the altar is a plaque of a grail cup.
In the church has a mysterious stained-glass window. It shows a boat with a sail, and on the mast of the boat is a wheel, bearing a marked resemblance to the Wheel of Fortune of the Tarot cards. The sun is setting to the right; and high in the sky on the left is a crescent moon.
This window is really in remembrance of Jules Verne, who often holidayed in the village. Bugarach inspired many of his novels, especially “A Journey to the Centre of the World.” On the mountain are many fissures in the rock that nobody has dared to go down yet! He also wrote a mystic book called Clovis Dardentor, published in 1896. The story is about a sailing boat – and the Captain was called Captain Bugarach and described as “he who is the master of the quartering wind.”
On a side entrance from the church is a skull and crossbones – surprisingly often found in Christain churches of the Ariège/Aude region in Languedoc. This invites us, as the Freemasons do, to meditate on our mortality.
In the church is a plaque to the Book of Seals – a secret book of the Cathars reputed to be solemnly opened only at Bema – Easter Sunday – according to the book “The Secret Message of Jules Verne,” by Michel Lamy, which is on sale at Rennes-le-Château. However, I’m not convinced of this. If the Cathars celebrated Easter it was not as we know it today, for they did not like the Crucifix, believing Jesus was immortal right from the beginning and so they did not celebrate the Resurrection. The book in Bugarach church is probably the Jewish Book of the Seven Seals – with a Paschal Lamb above it, yuk, a poor little corpse representing Jesus!
Bugarach has a ruined 13th century chateau, with only one tower of four still standing. In 1967 SESA member (Société d’Eudes Scientiques de l’Aude) Marie-Louise Durand, discovered in a lower room of this last tower a set of drawings from the 13th and 14th centuries. It sounds as though somebody was drafting something, for the design included lines and points, which connected to make four pentacles, and a swastika. A pentacle also exists inside the porch of the church, above the door of the shrine.
Lastly, there is another mysterious connection here – with Rennes-le-Château. Marie d’Ables de Nègre, from Niort, married her cousin François de Hautpoul Blanchefort, from Rennes-le-Château, in 1752 and the wedding took place in Rennes-le-Château, where the couple subsequently lived. This wedding united two parts of the Blanchefort families – and the village of Bugarach was included in the deal. Although the Bishop of Alet-les-Bains officiated, and four lawyers attended and signed the marriage certificate as witnesses, the second and third banns were not called and it all went through in less than a week.

THE ADVENTURE OF ADVENTURES
( Painting: “Cupid Sleeping” by Miridori Louis, 1652 )
“Just a politicians abuse the trust of their constituents to gain personal power and wealth, rather than to serve their electorate, so does the myopic mind consider that wisdom or wealth might be had from a magic potion! Indeed, the mythical Fountain of Youth could never be discovered by an explorer in the New World at the cost of murdering countless native inhabitants. The proverbial ‘eye of the needle’ does not admit the soul of a wealthy or brutal man into Nirvana.
As with many other alchemists before me, I have conducted a continuing series of careful observations upon the effects of a vast variety of chemical combinations. The purpose of these is to discover and perfect a solution which can be ingested or injected into the human body to enhance the ability to perceive, understand and operate at an elevated level, both physically and spiritually — the latter being of senior importance to the former.
Originally, I was introduced to the notion that chemical alteration of the human system might alter or enhance the ordinary state of awareness or ability, through my study of chemistry, or more correctly, alchemy. Many a sage has dabbled seriously with attempts to transmute the soul of man to a more profound understanding of life through chemical manipulation. No less a personage than Sir Isaac Newton himself, as Mr. Dodgson observed during our first visit, spent a considerable number of years in this quest. What results he may have obtained are not known, although it goes without saying that the scientific accomplishments of the great man are virtually unparalleled in human history!
Is it not probable that his mental acuity, or indeed his phenomenal genius, could have been augmented by his experimentations in alchemy? Reportedly, the man invested a prodigious number of years into this science, yet never shared his findings with anyone. For what purposes did he study alchemy, and for what reasons did he conceal his findings?
How is it that a single man can innovate and revolutionize so many fundamental understandings of nature and of the spirit within a single lifetime? Arguably, his intelligence exceeded those of any other living man, before or since. It is my own observation that the spiritual world permeates all that is material. It is this spiritual essence from which intelligence, and life itself, is empowered.
There is nothing mystical or fanciful in this subject whatever. It is a fact of simple observation, which is easily proven to even the dimmest mind.
To wit: when an organism is killed or dies of natural causes, is it not the absence of an unseen force of animation that causes the transition from life to death? Conversely, when a life form is borne it is the animation of the physical form by the non-physical force that we call life.
Anyone who has witnessed the death of a human body — as I have many times during my career as a criminal investigator — or who has attended the birth of a child or animal, cannot deny the phenomenon of that transition from inanimate object, into a living, breathing, self-motivating life form.
My personal quest for a spiritual elixir consumed many hours over many years. I did not concern myself with the possibility of negative consequences from my experiments. The reward of success, for me, far outweighed the risk of deleterious effects upon my own person or mental state. I suspect that Sir Isaac Newton shared my own insatiable passion for this science.
My own methods are always meticulous and thorough. My observations upon the behavior of various chemical concoctions upon my own state, whether positive or negative, are equally meticulous. With each self-administered dose I gained a more certain knowledge of the effects upon my own perception, ability, and understandings of life, and the universe.
To say that I had already succeeded in transcending the commonplace life of the “normal” citizens of Earth would be a gross understatement. However, all states of existence can only be measured relative to similar states. To this degree I deemed that a few of my experiments proved vastly more successful than others. It was these upon which I focused my entire scientific attention in order that I might refine and improve upon them. In my inmost heart I believed I could succeed where others failed. Now that I found myself overwhelmed by this bizarre set of circumstances I had a new opportunity to test myself.
As a general rule I discovered that the effect of any chemical upon the human body serves only one, singular purpose: to drive out or release the spirit from the body. The spirit, the soul, the invisible animating essence of all life forms, is the true source of intelligence, awareness, ability and volition. Indeed, life is not possible in the absence of it!
When driven or released from the constraints of a frail, tiny biological organism, such as the human body, I have observed that I, as a spiritual essence, can travel, perceive, understand and transcend the state of relative misery I experience when confined inside a body.
I frequently float about the room for hours, observing the microcosmic minutia of every object within the room. Likewise, I have, occasionally, traversed across half of the planet! Lingering upon the towering peaks of storm blown mountains, floating across the burning desert sands — perceiving the intense heat without injury or discomfort — or quietly absorbing the moistness of moss upon the bark of magnificent redwood trees in the rugged Northwest.
This, I am certain, has been the prize sought by so many masters of mathematics, alchemy, philosophy and mysticism who have trod upon this lonely path. The transmutation of base metals into precious metals has never been the goal of an accomplished alchemist! What is mere gold compared to this? What Earthly price can be placed upon the value of the soul? What is a lifetime or two or twelve thousand spent in human pain, grief, disappointment and death, when compared to the possibility of a transcendent state of ability and awareness?
Indeed, so far as my experiments have revealed to me, there is no greater prize than realizing the full potential of subjective experience as a living spirit. Unfortunately, the chemical syringe has been my only gateway through the portal of time, space and perception which lies between painful reality of the body, and the joy of freedom from it. My personal adventure — the adventure of adventures, the investigation of the highest order – has been to discover a safe and permanent transition between the reality of the flesh and the immortality of the soul.”
