Please check over at Labyrinth of the Psychonaut for more on Soundlessdawn‘s excellent new video, Cosmic Keys, Archaic Man, and The ShapeShifting Lizard Kings, which I have embedded here. He mentions the new article over at Project Camelot about a Norwegian scientist’s fright at discovering what’s really going on in those underground “seed vaults” – and why.

My friend Kingsley over at Between Both Worlds picked up on this recently as well, wondering why governments are so busy building these underground bases. I’m happy to find others sensitive to the topic and including it in their eclectic and discerning research.

On the same note I must admit feeling suspicious when many who claim to be so well-connected to certain alternative topics such as extraterrestrials, clairvoyance, channeling, and the “new consciousness” are unwilling to bring up the subject of Planet X, a polar shift or global catastrophe, or simply claim the 2012 enigma is only and ever a positive transformation. I’m not saying let’s all run around like Chicken Little; such a catastrophe could be exactly what ushers in a new consciousness for those who are prepared. In other words; the very thing that destroys, also creates, ala Shiva. The sister sun flies by more or less around the same time the 12/21/12 galactic alignment beams psychedelic energies from the “Tree of Life” at the center of the galaxy. Simultaneous? Or will the consciousness trip “save” us before, or even after if we survive, like some kind of ‘rapture’? Not sure. Perhaps be prepared for both?

It need not be something to be afraid of. And of course I’m willing to admit the whole Planet X scenario may be total crap – or even an event hundreds or thousands of years away (though I tend to think otherwise). But any responsible eso-researcher should at least discuss the issue, whether they believe it or not; there is plenty of strange evidence out there to support that, at the very least, including mysterious reports of the object in the Washington Post in 1983, secret Vatican space probes, not just global warming but the warming of our entire solar system, increased earthquakes and volcanic activity, warnings in ancient texts and even from Native Americans and certain ETs – just to name a few. Without mention of the otherwise shunned topic, I tend to be suspicious of their motives, which then seem, at least to my own personal sense of discernment, to be nothing more than eerie echoes of the dead silence from our world leaders and their cabals, comfortably ensconced in their underworld. Maybe somewhere in Paraguay, like GW. (On the other hand, let’s not forget what happened to Phil Schneider after he talked about his experience with ETs, underground bases and the gov’t.)

In May, there is scheduled a conference entitled “New Science, Consciousness & Contact” – which serendipitously is taking place right here in Kona. Whether I will go or not remains to be seen. David Wilcox is speaking, as is Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, whose work has long been of interest to me, having quoted her work on mind control in my book published four years ago. In fact I recently discovered Dr. Rauscher is involved in another somewhat fringe yet fascinating scientific group here on the island, The Resonance Project, which I had heard of a few years ago through friends. Kind of strange how things seem to come full circle.

Did you see the crazy picture of a supposed man on Mars someone found, from a photo taken there four years ago? What do you think? I think it looks like a statue; my husband thinks it’s something akin to the Tusken Raiders.

As far as what and how to think about all of this; please check out this excellent article by Neil Kramer over at The Cleaver. Neil has managed to put a lot of powerful thoughts and concepts together that I believe will resonate with many people, particularly those who spend time researching alternative topics.

And not that you’ve missed it by now, Heath Ledger was found dead today. What went through my mind was how much his make-up as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie (which role apparently gave him some anxiety, thanks Adam at Inside the Cosmic Cube) reminded me of Brandon Lee in The Crow, who was also 28 when he died. BTW Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were 27 when they died just days apart in 1970. Kurt Cobain was also 27. Here’s a list of other famous people who died before age 30.

What’s causing the apparent changes is up for debate everywhere except in the mainstream, which insists global warming is our own fault and that reducing emissions and going green is the only answer. Those who dare debate this anymore are accused of creating propaganda for the oil industry, or being mean-spirited Al Gore-haters; or perhaps, of just being crazy paranoids. Certainly I would never argue with going green; fossil fuels are dangerous and polluting, not to mention ridiculous (free energy, anyone?) and very expensive nowadays – which also makes me wonder; why would these guys push the cause if they’re only going to lose their precious oil dollars? Are they all looking to make their next fortunes in corn-based ethanol instead (or poised to rake it in on wheat futures when world food supplies are depleted), or just falling onto the politically-correct bandwagon; or, is there some other agenda lurking in the background?

Usually, if there’s hype, there’s also cover-up. Here is a site that lists articles about many other climate change opinions which I found it interesting, especially the articles about cosmic rays, the sun and other planets in our solar system also heating up. Could it be, perchance, something much larger going on? Something that might cause global panic if it made the news? Better sweep those notions into the lunatic fringe – no room for that in the mainstream. Too messy.

However, as this gentleman points out in The Times, “chaos theory rules.” With all the various potential contributors to climate change, how to know for sure what the exact cause is, especially since we’ve only been keeping records for a relatively short period, compared to vast geologic time? Even a large volcanic eruption can throw off the climate, as evidenced by this slice of history picked up by The Economist about the extraordinary summer of 1783. Or how about this article about ancient global warming?

So, maybe it’s just a minor blurp in the climate cycle; an exchange of gases or just a combination of elements that’s causing only slight deviations which seem larger due to our limited scope in time, or the huge population now present on the planet.

Or, maybe it’s not.

Maybe there really is a Dark Star, a Nemesis sister sun, an extra planet or some other celestial body on it’s way towards us, threatening our Earth’s delicate balance like a spinning top. Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s intriguing article caught my eye, especially her point involving the fractal and multidimensional structure of space-time and the concept of cosmic, quantum jumps within it. And yet, it’s only part of the lunatic fringe, at this point, to be sure. All I’m suggesting is – pay attention. Read up on everything, and don’t be fooled. Sure; buy a hybrid, recycle and install solar panels. Head off to the hills, if you must. But notice unusual puzzles, like comets going missing, controversial pyramids in Bosnia or Russia, and even the Mayan calendar 2012 end date. Just be prepared, be wise to the hype and resistant to the propaganda. Maybe the ancients were trying to tell us something – something the powers-that-be don’t want us to know.

From the Kolbrin Bible:

MAN:3:1 Men forget the days of the Destroyer. Only the wise know where it went and that it will return in its appointed hour.

MAN:3:4-6 When blood drops upon the Earth, the Destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil…The people will scatter in madness. They will…seek refuge within dens in the Earth. Terror will eat away their hearts…They will be eaten up in the flames of wrath and consumed by the breath of the Destroyer.

MAN:3:7 Thus it was in the Days of Heavenly Wrath, which have gone, and thus it will be in the Days of Doom when it comes again. The times of its coming and going are known unto the wise. These are the signs and times which shall precede the Destroyer’s return: A hundred and ten generations shall pass unto the West, and nations will rise and fall. Men will flying the air as birds and swim in the seas as fishes. Men will talk peace one with another’ hypocrisy and deceit shall have their day. Women will be as men and men as women; passion will be a plaything of men.

GLN:4:24-26 …There, riding on a great black rolling cloud, came the Destroyer, newly released from the confines of the sky vaults, and she raged about the Heavens, for it was her day of judgment. The beast with her opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and the meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came…The pillars of Heaven were broken and fell down to Earth. The skyvault was rent and broken; the whole of creation was in chaos. The stars in the Heavens were loosened from their places, so they dashed about in confusion. There was a revolt on high; a new ruler appeared there and swept across the sky in majesty.

CRT:4:5-9 Then came the day when all things became still and apprehensive, for God caused a sign to appear in the Heavens, so that men should know the Earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star…The star grew and waxed to a great brightness and was awesome to behold…He was clothed with smoke and fire. He carried lightnings in His hand, and His breath, falling upon the Earth, brought forth brimstone and embers…the sun and moon hid themselves in fear and there was a heavy darkness over the face of the Earth…Great fires and smoke rose up from the ground and men gasped for air. The land was rent asunder and swept clean by a mighty deluge of waters. A hole opened up in the middle of the land; the waters entered, and it sank beneath the seas.

Searches for “Antarctica anomaly” yielded a work of fiction some claim could be a disinformation campaign for what scientists have really discovered down there. Another involves Lake Vostok, the “largest deep sub-ice body of water on our planet”, which stays liquid as a result of heat from an unknown source and along whose shores scientists have found an “unknown magnetic anomaly”. Since 1999 there have been a few highly unusual and dangerous ‘emergency airlifts’ during the winter, arousing suspicions; a few scientists involved in research in Antarctica have also turned up dead for various reasons. The coincidence is debatable, but rumors suggest they knew something and wanted to talk. Soon after this unusual activity, some controversy arose surrounding the development of an “ice highway” due to potential environmental impact, but the road was recently completed anyway; now they can drive there, lessening the reliance on cargo plane travel to cart equipment to and from the research stations.

All kinds of interesting news filters out of Antarctica; there are lots of blogs and even a newspaper. Awhile back I found a strange story at Pravda about some kind of time portal in Antarctica. Research also brought up Nazi interest in the continent; it is well known that Hitler was deeply involved in the occult and was perhaps influenced by claims that such knowledge originated in Atlantis, or maybe he was looking for the passage to Agartha itself, supposedly accessible through holes in the poles. There is some history of military activity there, see Operation Highjump and Britain’s secret war. There’s even a movie called The Secret Land about the US military exploration of Antarctica in 1948. But according to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, countries are no longer allowed to engage in military activity there – of course, one imagines that some, including the US, are indeed doing just that, in secret. In fact I found other rumors of the NSA coming in and taking over the study of Lake Vostok. Certainly there is military technology there.

And amongst the news about all the melting going on down there as a result of global warming, I found this article about “an unprecedented series of ‘blasts’, energy surges, which the planet has been taking from an as yet unknown source which has been bombarding Antarctica with cosmic rays and disrupting Northern Hemisphere weather systems on a global scale.” The largest blast occurred on December 1, 2004, just weeks before the earthquake/tsunami in Indonesia. This information startled me into thinking about Planet X again as being the cause. This quote from an anonymous Russian scientist gave me pause, “Why this game? We all know what’s happening.” Global Research concluded the article by wondering about a fact apparently known to world governments and scientific establishments but beyond the understanding of the general public at large. “It remains an undisputed fact that this world of ours is facing a type of global cataclysmic event buried in our common geological past, and maybe…in our common ancestral memory also.”

Certain investigators have suggested this debated extra-planetary body is hurling towards Earth’s South Pole which is why most astronomers don’t see it, and why there is such fevered research going on down there right now. Former CNN producer Marshall Masters does a great job finding what programs are being sponsored that could aid in tracking Planet X; incidentally, he also throws his hat into the ring with the binary star theory. Who knows what is really going on, what will happen, if or when but one thing is for sure: I will continue to pay attention.

The Great Year references the 24,000-26,000 year cycle of time during which our solar system completes its precession through the equinoxes. Generally considered to be more important to astrologers than astronomers, there is evidence that many ancient cultures were aware of precession – which suggests that not only is civilization is far older than is now accepted, but that awareness of this cycle may be more relevant than we presently understand. According to Cruttenden, we are mid-way along in the cycle, apsis having been around 500 A.D. and periapsis not expected until 12,500 A.D. He suggests our very consciousness is affected by where we are along the path, “Both the ascending and descending cycle are made of four “ages” analogous to the four seasons: the two poles are the dark age or winter of man, called the iron age by the Greeks and Kali yuga by the Indians; and the age of enlightenment or summer of man, called the Golden age or Satya yuga…”

Cruttenden theorizes that this vast cosmic cyclical dance between our sun and its supposed sister, a distant and probably very dim brown dwarf, is what actually causes the precession of the equinoxes and our elliptical amble around the heavens. I found it most interesting that the math surrounding our planetary wobble can be explained and simplified if a sister star is part of the equation. A similar theory has been suggested by Richard A. Muller; this binary sister is also known as Nemesis or the Death Star, whose cycle of destruction is counted in the millions of years.

When I considered a theory about a rogue member of our solar system, the first thought I had was about Planet X. Could this sister star be Zecharia Sitchin’s Nibiru? Sitchin talks in terms of a 3600-3700 year cycle for Nibiru, however, which is at odds with the 24,000-26,000 precession (the natural harmonic ideal from quantum math is 25,920 years); also according to Cruttenden this sister star is about as far away as it can get at the moment. One researcher, Burak Eldem, wrote a book 2012: Appointment with Marduk in which he suggests the orbital cycle of Planet X (“Marduk”) is actually 3661 years and that it’s scheduled return date is indeed 2012. According to Eldem and Wikipedia, “3,661 is one-seventh of 25,627, which he believes is the total time span of “Five World Ages” according to the Mayan Long Count Calendar. The last orbital passage of Marduk, he adds, was in 1649 BC and caused great catastrophes on earth, including the Thera eruption. Sitchin has recently put forth his own date in the year 2085 for the next passage of Nibiru, but the date most talked about is 2012, which marks the end of the Maya calendar.”

In my recent post on 2012 I cited a USA Today article which stated, “On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that ‘whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time,’[journalist Lawrence] Joseph writes.” Some believe this shift will affect our consciousness. For example, researcher David Wilcock remarks that at the end of each 25,920 year cycle there is a frequency or energetic shift, “the Earth and Solar System’s position relative to the Galactic Center has a penultimate effect upon the hyperdimensional physics of its systems. When we conjoin with the Galactic Center, a flood of energy is received – energy that fundamentally changes the vibratory rate of all bodies of matter in its vicinity.” He posits this would cause our consciousness to vibrate from the third dimension to the fourth.

Rumors swirl that the Vatican has a secret space probe called “Siloe” (which by the way is the name of a pool outside Jerusalem where Jesus gave a blind man his sight) used to monitor anomalous celestial bodies approaching the solar system via a secret telescope in Alaska. Researcher Cristoforo Barbaro claims a Vatican secret service insider gave him video of a rapidly approaching body, presumably this “Planet X”. Another rumor suggests that technologies such as chemtrails and HAARP could interfere with our ability to raise our consciousnesses, as the Powers-That-Be are perfectly aware of what’s coming and don’t want to lose their cattle; but this is another post. Still others claim global warming, the increase in frequency of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and the sensation of ‘quickening’, including the debated increase in the Shumann resonance, is actually due to the approach of this rogue body.

The synchronicity found in all of these tidbits is startling, however there are still questions. If Cruttenden and others place us barely out of the ‘dark ages’ of the Kali yuga, or even still in it, how is it that yet others claim this amazing transformation is just around the corner? I’m also curious about any relationship between Planet X and a potential sister star; not only does the math work out, but it seems that binary star systems are actually quite common Out There. It’s hard to know for sure what is really going on – but rumors of Vatican involvement raise my eyebrows, as does the evidence of cyclical catastrophes from archeological records. There is enough to warrant further investigation; I feel there are some important puzzle pieces still missing. Everyone has their own interpretation – one would be hard pressed to read even just all the books out there on Planet X. We must listen to our spirits and pay attention when truth rings its bell, but also not panic or rush to judgment.
