Years ago I ordered an interesting book called Atlantis: the Truth Behind the Legend by Galanopoulus and Bacon. The large coffee table book arrived and I opened to the first page and was thrilled the authors had reproduced the quote from Plato’s Critias where the legend began. The quote spoke of the large plain surrounded by mountains on which lay the circular capital city.

They were going to use the original quote as a guide, they said. Wow! I thought, this was going to be something good!

Ah, yes, but first a few alterations… The time was judged to be too great by a factor of ten (why? No evidence. It just “sounded about right”), so they reduced the time from 9,000 years ago to 900 years ago. And then they removed the portion of the description about the capital being on a plain surrounded on three sides by mountains extending to the sea, and were left with a round island for the capital. Nothing more about the “continent” of Atlantis, just the round island for the capital.

As much as they had utilized Plato’s original information, they could simply have discarded it. Like many “scientists” today, they start with the answer and warp the information to fit their hypothesis.

By similar exegesis I could show Hitler was an elephant. How? His uniform was typically gray in color, like an elephant… he had a small tuft of hair under his nose, like an elephant… and his raised arm in salute looks much like an elephant’s raised trunk. Ludicrous, you say? But it is as close as those “scientists” came in their interpretation of Plato’s text.

The legendary Island of Atlantis was supposed by Plato to lie “beyond the pillars of Hercules”. Many modern theorists who claim Thera/Santorini is really the lost continent, say the term “pillars of Hercules” is really an unknown identifier and probably referred to some islands nearer Greece than the Straits of Gibralter. They hypothesize some islands near to Thera/Santorini were the original “pillars of Hercules”.

Again they completely ignore Plato who very specifically states the pillars of Hercules are west of Libya. And the only viable contender in that area is the Pillars of Hercules we are most familiar with: the Straits of Gibraltar. That would put Atlantis in the Atlantic where it has usually been placed, and NOT in the eastern Mediterranean.

Many historians claim that the Egyptian priests related the tale of Atlantis to demean the antiquity of the Greeks, to show that there was a greater culture long before the upstart Greeks came along with their supposed “golden culture”. Unfortunately, the Priests mentioned that the Greeks were the only ones who stood up to the invasion of the Atlanteans. Doesn’t sound like much of a ‘put-down’ to me.

It seems to just be a way for the managers of the site to get publicity and funding. The archaeological work being done at Thera/Santorini is marvelous, and it does seem to relate to the death of the Minoan culture. But, come on now, Atlantis? It is an insult to Platoists, Atlantis scholars, and historians as well!

In the Mayan Prophecies by Adrian Gilbert and Maurice Cotterell, their theory ends with a priest leading survivors from the shattered Atlantis near Bimini to the Yucatan peninsula. Their descendants, they surmised, were the Mayans. It is possible, I suppose, as the survivors of Atlantis had to go somewhere and the Maya had to have had ancestors. And it could explain their technical expertise in mathematics.

But it is an unnecessary touch, I believe. People without such ancestry are capable of inventing math. It has happened all over the world without the aid of Atlanteans, aliens, or other outside groups. Necessity made it possible and the human mind is generally able to rise to such needs no matter their parentage.

For the readers interested in the fringe or New Age subjects, it might be a nice additive, but Atlantis itself is not pertinent to the study of the Maya Calendar.

But it does cause one to wonder at the scale of chronology.

Cayce to host state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant groundbreaking on Friday

Cayce will hold a groundbreaking ceremony to launch construction of the City of Cayce Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility on December 4, 2009.  The ceremony, which will begin at 10:00 a.m., will be held at the site of the new facility at 539 Old State Road in Cayce.

Many years in the planning, the 25 million-gallon-per-day facility, which will be funded by the City of Cayce, the Town of Lexington, and the Joint Municipal Water and Sewer Commission, is slated to begin operation in early 2012.  This state-of-the-art facility will improve water quality in the region by employing more stringent treatment processes and by facilitating the elimination of existing, smaller treatment plants in the area.

In addition, the new treatment plant will also provide long-term economic benefits to Lexington County by ensuring the continued availability of wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate the future growth needs of the county.

Who: City of Cayce

What: Groundbreaking ceremony for new 25 million-gallon-per-day facility regional wastewater treatment facility

Precision marching, swirling flags, crisp, colorful uniforms, the flash of brass instruments under the bright stadium lights, shouts of encouragement from the grand stands, the intricate salute of the drum major: These are all part of the excitement and pageantry of a high school marching band competition.

 

With a loud welcome from parents and friends, the Brookland Cayce High School Band proudly marched onto the field at Kellytown Stadium in Hartsville, SC, on Saturday October 24^th, at 8:00 P.M. The band was there to compete with ten other schools for a chance to go to the state championships. Brookland Cayce was the last band to perform in the competition.

For the next ten minutes the stadium and audience belonged to Brookland Cayce. The sweat and exhaustion of summer band camp’s 100 degree heat, the hours of practice after school each week, and all of the previous performances had led up to tonight.

The band was very impressive as it marched onto the field toward the audience in two arrow straight columns with the drum major in the lead, perfectly balanced between the two lines. The lines suddenly broke apart and a new formation was quickly created. The musicians were now standing perfectly still awaiting the drum major to direct the start of the performance.

 

Once the performance begins there is almost too much to see. The band is in constant motion as it continuously changes formations while playing the musical selections. The flag line weaves in and out of the formations, adding texture and visual interest as the colorful fabric swirls and waves in time to the music.

It was an impressive performance. The selections were in sync with smooth transitions. The crowd showed its appreciation several times throughout the performance with enthusiastic applause.

 

When it was over and the final judging was complete, Brookland Cayce missed placement by a very narrow margin. It is a natural reaction to be disappointed at not being selected to advance. But you would have been hard pressed to find anyone that had witnessed the performance to say that this band is not a winner.

If you had been there you would have witnessed band members who put everything they had into the performance, who displayed discipline and self control on and off the field, who expressed their personalities, and of whom Brookland Cayce can be proud. I know the parents, associates and friends of the band who were in attendance were extremely pleased with the performance.

It takes an extraordinary effort, starting with Mr. Dale Hair, the band director, to get the students prepared to compete at this level. The parents that help weekly with setting up and breaking down the equipment and the parents and businesses that support the band by providing meals during the competitions are invaluable. In the end it is all worth it when you see the pride and poise of the members of the Brookland Cayce High School Band. They deserve our congratulations.

Maybe what I write here is partly wrong, I doubt very much that it’s entirely wrong since I’ve researched the subject of the Aquarian Messiah or Aquarian “Great Prophet” on and off for years. Some of those who know me personally in real life would possibly be surprised at my conclusions, but also know that there’s a great deal of supporting evidence behind them. It’s my belief that what I’m writing here is very close to the truth, and could give many people some useful clues for what to look for in the future.

The position that I take in the writing of this is that all religions have a single source (God/Allah/Buddha), and therefore it would be misguided and narrow-minded to accept only one religious sect’s interpretation, but better to accept a wider and more embracing view of the role of prophets/messiahs/saviours/enlightened ones. Mostly this article is written with the terminology of those religious branches that come from the Abrahamic Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition, but the subject is more global because the same cyclic patterns apear worldwide.

The Earth’s magnetic frequency has been rising for a while. It used to be 7.83hz (for the primary Schuman Resonance) but it’s getting higher (around 11hz) and nobody knows why. The Schumann frequencies shift over time, and go up and down in cycles, yet right now, they are higher than ever measured before. At the same time the strength of the Earth’s electromagnetic field is getting weaker. At the same time as this is happening, our Solar system is passing through the galactic plane of the Milky Way galaxy as we follow the cycle of procession. It seems clear that there’s a connection between these events.

It’s also already been long accepted by science that electromagnetic fields affect human behaviour and sleep patterns, and astrology has been supported in at least some ways by statistical studies such as the Mars Effect. CSICOP tried to debunk the scientific evidence that has been found to support astrology and instead corroborated it, though they’ve tried to spin, cover-up, and use personal attacks about it ever since. Theories abound as to why the statistical studies show that there is a clear effect, none of which can really explain it, but it’s still there. It’s a case of science not being able to explain something that we already have evidence of, and some highly irrational sceptics illogically claiming that just because the evidence can’t be explained by any scientific theory – yet – that the evidence is going to go “poof” and disappear, so we should just ignore it.

It’s also long been known and supported with scientific evidence that Local Sidereal Time has a connection with both radio interference and a proven influence on paranormal statistical testing. There is definitely more possible psychically than we have scientific theories to explain, but that evidence is not going away either. Changes within the Earth’s electromagnetic field (which is affected by the Sun, and the Sun in turn by the galaxy and other planets) affect our perception of time, sleep patterns, moods, behaviour, and our ability to regulate our immune system.

A certain kind of sceptic is honestly no better than the kind of irrational fanatic who attacks everything that they don’t understand, or simply dislike, despite what logic and evidence would support. They’ll quite often go so far as to dismiss all evidence and go against logic in their fervent dislike of some concepts, people, or things.

There’s an ancient tradition that Prophets are sent by God every seven hundred years, each time to a different region (some refer to seven continents and seven seas) to give the Word yet again because humans are prone to veer from the path, and have an awful bad habit of corrupting God’s Word. Greater Prophets also appear at the end/beginning of Astrological Ages. There are some Christians who are under the misguided impression that there’s no astrological connectiion with the Bible, apparently these people have never read the book itself or know anything about astrology. Astrological symbolism is common in in the Bible.

“There shall be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.”
- Luke 21:25

The Bible is filled with astrological symbolism, and Jesus is quoted with numerous references to astrology. It was widely understood in ancient times that important people are supposed to have particular astrological patterns. A pattern repeated with the three Magi who were Persian astrologers or astrologer-kings.

According to historian, Flavius Josephus, the Jewish temple at Jerusalem had the twelve signs of the zodiac inlaid in its floor.

Jesus was the dawn of the Age of Pisces. The sign of the fish always had special significance in Christianity. Jesus recruited “fishermen” as disciples to make them “fishers of men.” He fed the masses with a miraculous draft of fishes. His followers were known in Latin as “pisciculi”, the “little fishes.” A commonly used icon in Christian churches is the “Vesica Piscis”, which is Latin for “mouth of the fish”. Its shape resembles a fish without a tail. It can be seen in the shape of stained glass windows in many churches and cathedrals. The Pope wears a ceremonial hat in the shape of a fish head.

Moses was of the dawn of the Age of the Aries, and the ram was often the common symbol, which Judaism still uses with the sacrifice of goats. Before Moses, it was the Age of Taurus, the bull, and so we have the symbolism of the golden calf being of the old religion which Moses orders destroyed. After this time, the Hebrews celebrated the approach of their Messiah by blowing rams horns. The symbol of the ram and the “lamb of god” concept became popular in many other religions during this age.

Astrological symbolism for the Age of Aquarius also appears in the Bible, with water bearers, water pourers, the pouring of water, for example;

“Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him”
- Mark 14:13

Dare we hope that on the verge of the Age of Aquarius that another is about to be revealed? If not already? I doubt that most of us would recognise such a man, or admit what he is. It hurts masculine pride to accept, and Prophets are unfortunately targeted by the rulers and old religions for harassment and execution whenever possible.

Aquarius will be the new age, the new life. First there will be disastrous events, gigantic upheavals, turmoil and change of all kinds….

….The Age of Aquarius is fast approaching, and it is going to overturn and shatter all the old forms and values that human beings thought of as permanent….

– Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov (1900-1986)

According to all the great mystic teachers and seers, the Age of Aquarius starts with a time of immense conflict and turmoil never before witnessed in recorded history.
After reading these predictions, I’m reminded of some particular words in the Bible.

1 Corinthians 12:27-29, 13:2, 14:22, 14:39,

Acts 2:17-18, Romans 12:6,

1 Timothy 4:14

Together, these repeated words from the Bible say that prophets are still needed, and a vital part of God’s way of bringing the Truth and Word. Another way of saying this is that job isn’t yet finished because humans keep getting it all wrong. I dare those who doubt that more prophets are expected and deny that they are a part of Christianity to look up those words and deny that they are there.

The two great prophets (2033)

In 2033, it becomes apparent, and seemingly public knowledge (though it seems strange and still denied by the more conservative and sceptical) that a rumoured messianic “Jesus”-like figure has long been around on Earth and was previously secretly preaching in Europe. Millions will see this person as the messiah, and he will be a great new leader of Christianity. He will say everything that they expect to hear, everything that they believe he should be saying, and though he will publicly make no declaration that their belief about him being a kind of “Jesus” reborn, he will actually encourage this belief in other ways. He will already have great political power in secret, and gain much more afterwards in public. He will become a very public figure, lauded and talked about and worshipped by millions. Everything that he says will seem to be the “right” thing to say and fit with Christianity in most ways….

He will shout many seemingly great truths while telling many things that they expect and which are actually lies, but he will fool millions for that is his task. He is not inherently evil, but is only fulfilling his duty to lead Christians further into their own foolishness, for the world’s humanity needs to be tested to see if they can recognise the real truths.

In North America, this pseudo-”Christ” like figure will have no real political power or major influence, for there are millions of American Christians who have closed themselves off by this time, and are in soul searching to find their way back to more primitive kinder Christianity without huge churches and distracting paraphernalia. There will be enormous resistance by established organisations to this shift, but the majority of people will eventually see through that resistance for the self-serving and delusion that is behind it. Islam in North America will also change, becoming a more harmonious kind, which by century’s end, most people will respect. Unfortunately, in their compromises, the American Islamic organisations will risk losing a lot of their real truths, so they should be very wary of where their leaders take them.

The other great prophet will not be in Europe, yet is both spiritual brother and the exact opposite of the man in France. Both of these great prophets are polar opposites of each other. Both were born in the 1960s. The one which speaks truth will be hidden, the one which speaks lies will be in the open..

- John Croino (writing of 2 Great Prophets that are “revealed” by 2033)

Similar to this description of two Great Prophets, a Great False Prophet openly in Europe, and another Great True Prophet (that John Croino avoids saying where, as if he knows but won’t say), there is an interesting prophecy from Nostradamus, in Century Ten, Quatrain 75

Long awaited he will never return in Europe, he will appear in Asia. One of the league issued from great Hermes, he will grow above all other powers in the Orient.

- Nostradamus

Hermes was a god of wisdom in ancient Greece, who appears as such numerous times in Greek mythology in that role. A quick google search turned up tens of thousands of hits with Hermes identified as a god of wisdom, but more importantly in classical works from ancient times he has long been referred to as a god of wisdom. He was strongly associated with the Egyptian god, “Thoth” (often referred to as the Father of Wisdom in ancient Egypt), which would be very strange if Hermes had not been considered as a god of wisdom in those ancient times. A book I highly reccomend on the subject is “The Gospel of Hermes” in which the author has done an indepth study of Hermes. Hermes was a god of wisdom, magic, and communication. In Judaism, both are considered to be the prophet Enoch (Jewish mystics identify Hermes as the antediluvian prophet Enoch). In other words, the typical image of Hermes/Mercury as a Messenger of the Gods is as a prophet. A Messenger of the Gods or a God, by the way, is also called an Avatar. That’s highly appropriate for a prophet, and Nostradamus was well aware of this, thus it seems that Nostradamus is saying that this will be a very wise and powerful prophet. Jesus was technically European, but this implies that the new Prophet or Messiah appears in Asia, and his religion becomes more powerful than all others in Asia.

Edgar Cayce also made a prediction related to Asia that gives us a clue about this Aquarian Prophet of truth, when he envisioned a future where China would be the:
“the cradle of Christianity as applied in the lives of men.” – but he wasn’t referring to Christianity in the modern or traditional sense as people commonly see it, instead as the true spirit of a higher form of truth because it involves reincarnation, the divine light within, and concepts that can found in near-death experiences.

In the New Testament of the Bible, there are passages from Revelations that appear to refer to a secret prophet or messiah in the coming age, who arrives without any public display;

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

- Revelations 16:15

What will the Great Prophet of the Aquarian Age be like? Aquarius is a male sign, he will be a trendsetter and an eccentric rebel, a reformer with an idealistic agenda. His astrological link with the higher consciousness will bring us into an age where intelligence and spirituality is uplifted and society can function as a whole. Don’t expect him to follow any status quo, as he will be the ultimate trendsetter, never one to give in to the wrong rules no matter how many centuries or millennia that they have been in existence. Aquarius is very definitely associated with chaos.The air signs are all about yin/yang, the inner fight, the epic battle of good vs. evil. It’s a battle of two different sides, so perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that two Great Prophets appear at the same time as opposites of each other. But if there are two, then how do we know which is the good one?

A possibly related prophecy from Nostradamus describes what could be an Aquarian Prophet or Aquarian Messiah.

A man will be charged with the destruction of temples and sects, altered by fantasy. He will harm the rocks rather than the living. Ears fill with ornate speeches.

- Nostradamus

This Aquarian Prophet has been sent to attack the old religious hierarchies and their many schismatic sects because their teachings and traditions have drifted too far from the truth and into delusions. He will harm the rocks of traditions rather than calling for bloodshed and murder. His speeches will be very elaborate, he is gifted with a talent in words, perhaps he is a skilled orator.

Perhaps it will be as John Croino’s prediction says, and that there will be two of these Great Prophets.

One will fulfill everything that Christians will “expect”, but he will be a prophet of falsehoods pandering to their egotism and delusions, doing so in a very public way that glorifies himself and attracts attention but says everything that will make people feel good about themselves even as they continue down the wrong path with the mistakes in beliefs and culture that have accumulated over the past two millennia. He’ll rise to importance in France by 2033. He’ll be a powerful political figure and be very “Christ”-like in the way that people fantasize and expect, while at the same time being in reality the new “Anti-Christ”. People will be tricked by his lies, because he’ll tell them what they want to hear, but not what they really need to know.

In the Bible, Jesus is quoted by Matthew (24:4-5) as saying;
“Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”

The other will be a prophet of truth, but perhaps because he is born while Neptune is still dominant in the Sign of Aquarius, he will also be a secret prophet (as Neptune is associated in Astrology with secrets and hidden things). Instead of repeating the beliefs of Christianity and the West, his task is to attack the wrong-headed traditions that have become common, rebel against and attack the fantasies that people have become influenced by. Instead of being in Europe, he arises in Asia. Instead of glorifying himself in public, he preaches in secret and avoids publicity, yet the religion which he establishes eventually becomes more powerful than all others in Asia. By 2033, his existence will be commonly recognised, talked about, even though we’ll never see him on TV or in the media spotlight. I suppose in the mainstream media, he’s the sort of person who would be painted as being an “Anti-Christ” because he attacks our conventions and the rules and the status-quo, but the reality is that this guerilla prophet who preaches from hiding is going to be telling us painful truths that we don’t like to hear. I don’t believe the New Agers will like him any more than the Christians will.

2012?  There are a lot of things… and various opinions… you will hear on this.  I have even had school children ask me what I think!  It’s affecting everyone, and not necessarily for the better.  Many are downright scared, and this saddens me.  The time coming is an exciting time for humanity… but there is so much fear of the unknown, all we can see is one potential outcome.  Doom, despair, and agony on everyone.  I do not agree.

Now this is just my opinion. Opinions are like bellybuttons… we’ve all got ‘em!   I realize that there may be a shift coming, physically, that we need to prepare for… but I don’t necessarily think movies like the upcoming “2012″ may be depicting that time accurately. After all… right now, it’s just anybody’s guess. It might be nothing… it might be something. It’s always wise to prepare for the unknown, 2012 or otherwise – but don’t get too upset about worrying over things that might not even happen. Live your life right… treat others the way you know you should… make your preparations… but take each day as it comes. One day at a time is all any of us can handle, anyway! Whatever will be will be… it can’t be changed… so live your life joyfully and let’s hope for the best. I personally believe the changes coming are more of a spiritual thing. I don’t feel fear, if I did I would be saying so. But I don’t. I feel a hopefulness! And that is what I want to share with you.

Here is a portion of an article from this site: http://indospiritual.com/blogs/others/december-21-2012-mayan-year-of-destiny You can click the link to read the entire article. I have focused on the rebirth section for this blog post.

Rebirth on December 21, 2012

On August 11, 3114 BC, a new Solar Age began and the Sun Lord was reborn. Creation Lord deities are often portrayed attending the rebirth of the world, including one called Bolon Yokte K’u, who is closely associated with war, conflict, and the Underworld. Despite these associations, Bolon Yokte is a god that is often present during Creation events. He is portrayed on a ceramic called Vessel of the Seven Lords, which contains the date 3114 BC, the beginning of our present 13-Baktun cycle. Of course, the date that interests us is the beginning of the next 13- Baktun cycle, which occurs on December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan Calendar.

A recent translation of a text from Tortuguero, a Classic Maya site north of Palenque, explicitly points to the date December 21, 2012. Translated by Mayan epigrapher David Stuart, the legible part of the text reads: “At the end of 13 Baktuns, on 4 Ahau 3 Kankin, 13.0.0.0.0; something occurs when Bolon Yokte descends.” The verb glyph describing what happens is effaced, so it is replaced with the word something, but the creation lord Bolon Yokte is depicted, meaning that 2012 was thought of by the Maya as a creation or recreation of the world, possibly during a time of war, conflict, and dominance of the Underworld and the Lords of the Underworld.

As we can see, the end of the Mayan Calendar is simply the end of the present World Age. And, important to us, it simply marks the beginning of the next cycle of rebirth, renewal. (my note:  I take this to mean as similar to how we have been in the age of Pisces, ready for the age of Aquarius, etc.  The world is still here regardless of the different ages we have been in.)

There are no specific markings or statements about the year 2012 on the archaeological artifacts at Izapa, but there are numerous images at Izapa that portray a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years around 2012. This galactic alignment marks the rebirth of the December solstice and the rebirth of the Sun Lord over Seven Macaw’s attempts to replace him. The Sun Lord rises through the Dark Rift in the Milky Way, located between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Scorpio is depicted near the base of the Tree of Life in Mayan illustrations. Souls on Earth experience a change of galactic seasons, a celestial time-cycle shift, with our Sun moving into rebirth at the “Black Hole” at the celestial base of the Tree of Life (a location in the great Milky Way). December 21, 2012, signals the end of this 5,125-year age that we’ve been living in and the commencement of a new Earth Age.

When asked what the New Age means to humanity, Edgar Cayce replied: “by the full consciousness of the ability to communicate with the Creative Forces and be aware of the relationships to the Creative Forces and the uses of same in material environs. This awareness during the era or age in the Age of Atlantis and Lemuria or Mu brought what? Destruction to man, and his beginning of the needs of the journey up through that of selfishness.” (1602-3)

Cayce is informing us that in a previous time cycle, humanity had a level of consciousness and relationship with the Creative Forces that allowed us to live at higher levels of material, mental, and spiritual activity in the Earth and beyond. Unfortunately, we misused this consciousness and the power that came with the close relationship to the Forces. This misuse brought on the destruction of our great cultures and a long, karmic soul journey through the pain and confusion that resulted from our selfishness and self-centered focus on our will without regard for the will of the Creator and others. Now, as the cycles come around again, we are nearing a time when the level of consciousness and relationship with the Creative Forces will allow us once again to regain these powers. How will we use them this time?

Before we despair that humankind is going to misuse these again, let’s remember that many, many souls and even the Logos, the Word, have come and continue to come into materiality to help prepare the way for this rebirth. We overestimate the power of the world and its leaders. The unseen, heavenly forces have greater power and will overcome the world’s darkness and selfishness, breaking through with a light that will transform this realm for a thousand years, when all evil and temptation will be bound and a golden age will reign. The biblical book of the Revelation conveys this prophecy: “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:2)

Is December 21, 2012 the beginning of the fulfillment of these wonderful prophecies by Edgar Cayce and the Revelation, or just another step on the long journey toward such fulfillment?

There have been proven psychic predictions that scored right. Jeanne Dixon predicted JFK’s win and assassination. Her prediction was public in 1956, years before it came true. She’s also on record predicting Richard Nixon’s election.

GA Freiman predicted the rampage of two serial killers in the USA and their M.O. He’s also made several other successful public predictions.

These are examples of prophecies which came out true, and it’s not against physics for it to happen either. Have a look at quantum physics, where causality gets weird and time gets entangled.

I first read about
John Croino a couple of years ago, not sure exactly when, but was impressed by how close to the truth his predictions were even then. I wasn’t expecting perfect dates, after all even Nostradamus didn’t give any dates for nearly all of his prophecies and none of those in the Bible give any dates.

John Croino is an elusive “prophet” in Asia who (like G.A. Freiman) is very secretive and avoids the media. Most of his predictions have come to pass in what they describe, but he sometimes misses the date by a few months or a year. He predicted the 9/11 attacks two years before they happened. He correctly predicted the 1997 Asian Stockmarket and financial crisis about 11 years before it happened. He also predicted the huge riots in Sydney in 2005, and the recent revolts in western China.

(from John Croino – “Increasing Civil Unrest in Southern China (2008 to 2010)” – which we have already witnessed in the form of ethnic violence erupting in a Tibetan region of southwestern China.

His predictions go onward into the far future, but by his track record he could be extremely close to telling future history, not just making good guesses. Surprising how accurate this man’s predictions are! The details are often stunningly close. There are too many predictions to post everything here in this blog, but I’ll include some of them.

Back in 1990, John Croino made the following prediction;

Major climate chaos and dramatic seismic activity (2003-2007, then it really takes off)
The years from 2003 onward are going to be increasingly active with chaotic weather disasters, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. Many will trace this from 2001, but it’s from 2003 that it’s most obvious. 2005 is a particularly bad year for this, getting worse and worse until people expect terrible things to be a monthly occurrence, but then 2006 will the quiet before the storm when the world will seem to wait in expectation. Very little will happen in 2006, no major wars start, and just the preliminaries for the storm to come.

Then from mid-2007, the shock of events and disasters will increase month by month, worse storms, more violent seismic activity, bizarre and terrifying ominous events that seem to foretell of some great change brewing. Most people will not truly realise even a hint of how bad it will become until late 2008. Every year from 2007 until 2014, will be increasingly nightmarish, with the peak period being 2012-2014. Prepare access to clean water, stockpile food which can last. In some regions it will be advisable to stockpile at least filter-masks and goggles due to volcanic ash falls from some huge volcanic eruptions. If you live in Tokyo, move to the west and away from the sea. Avoid Mount Fuji. Fishermen will soon find summer fish during the winter in Tokyo bay. The same advice is good if you live in the Southern hemisphere, but Australia will have other problems besides being angry at New Zealand for things that New Zealanders have no control over. The sky will be dark in those places for long enough to truly frighten people and damage crop yields
- John Croino

Anyone recognize these descriptions? It’s been really happening. Earthquakes, worse storms, tsunami, we’re living through this now.

“It’s definitely getting worse. The earthquake sequence began in 2000 with a 7.9 about 800 km away from the south of Singapore. You haven’t felt this big of a sequence of earthquakes (that is many large earthquakes) for at least 175 years.”
- Professor Kerry Sieh, professor of Geology, Earth Observatory of Singapore, NTU

Check the rate of earthquakes increasing here and how the USGS has been trying to mispresent this. In 2001, there were 137 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher. In 2007, there were 190. The trend has been an overall increase.

Back in 1997, John Croino made another startlingly accurate prophecy;

Economic Crisis (2008)

….in 2008 the problems with the USA’s economy and the US Dollar reach the cliff. There will be many important high level meetings in governments around the world, but the most important will not be in Europe or the USA, but will be in China and Japan. Secret discussions behind closed doors, rumoured meetings with Russian government representatives. Nations worldwide have turned hostile to the USA’s corruption and bullying. In March 2008, an important decision is made in the Japanese and Chinese governments. 2 weeks later there are discussions and secret meetings with finance corporations in Asia, as the Asian governments decide how to protect their economies. There will be a quietness in the markets, a combination of fear of the coming storm of chaos, and worries as to what the governments will decide. The employment situation will become depressing, new jobs failing to appear as companies worry about their likely need to lay-off staff in the next few months anyway.
Then in June-July 2008, the markets will seem to go crazy to with chaotic rises and falls, mad speculation and panic. For a short time, it might appear that the US Dollar will maintain it’s hegemony as the international currency of choice, but from August onward, the US Dollar’s real value drops steadily and rapidly, dragging down all currencies that are dependent on it
A new “Great Depression” will become obvious to even the most common of people in the industrialised nations
- John Croino

Are you surprised? That was back in 1997. In 2002, John Croino made the following prophecy;

US Dollar depreciation and abandonment (December 2009 to July 2010) US$ 滅亡
Rumours of Asian nations divesting themselves of the US Dollar (and their investments in the USA) turn into a reality triggering a currency crisis during the last 3 weeks of December 2009, another market crash, and international crisis on the futures exchange markets. China and some other nations, including Japan, speed up their secretive dumping of US Dollar currency reserves. Many Asian corporations are behind the majority of this currency dumping; it is beyond the reach of secretive political deal-making and diplomatic pressure by the USA to influence or prevent. This has already started, but becomes publicly noticeable in late December 2009. The effect on airlines will be troublesome to those planning to travel to the USA during that time.
The collapse of the US Dollar will proceed faster than governments and financial institutions are able to plan for, or react to. The “official” valuation with respect to other currencies will not reflect the real value in trade contracts; although dismally low and continuing to drop rapidly, it will still be rated falsely higher in official ratings by comparison. To repay their loans, the USA government and finance corporations will be forced to draw upon their reserves of foreign currencies. The US Dollar will very soon no longer be acceptable in trade anywhere outside the USA.
- John Croino

See this one coming? At the time that John Croino made his prediction, I don’t know of anyone else who had a clue that this was coming this year. Now, it looks like it’s already starting in the early stages.

We could be looking at this result before the end of 2010

Cayce tocando o terror em Tókio

Amanda Faria Landim

DES – GRA NA 3 RA: 08101753

CayceP está agora no Japão, em busca de um número que poderá ser a chave, ou o caminho, para solucionar o mistério dos fragmentos do filme.

Quem será Taki, o garoto apaixonadopor Keiko e a quem pertence a misteriosa resposta?

Tudo parece absolutamente normal, encontra-se com Taki, um criador de games para telefonia móvel, em um bar qualquer onde ele é o único cliente. Ele entrega-lhe o número tão misterioso em troca de uma foto e quando Cayce retorna do WC, ele já havia desaparecido.

Missão cumprida, simples assim, porém Cayce estava enganada.

Ao sair do bar, é repentinamente atacada por dois homens (intalianos?) tentando roubá-la. O que é isso?

Cayce na cara e pisão no pé. CORRER. É isso que consegue se lembrar de suas pseudo-aulas de defesa pessoas. E agora?

Sobe na scooter. É Boone. Tudo está bem, por enquanto.

Franco, que levou uma "Cayce na cara" no Japão.

I recently attended a Dedication Ceremony at Brookland-Cayce High School. The overcast skies and cool temperatures on the morning of the event were a welcome relief from the 90 degree heat just a day earlier. The quick, sharp cadence from the Brookland-Cayce High School Band’s drum line signaled that the ceremony was about to begin.

The location of the event was the brand new outdoor courtyard that lies between the two new facilities: the subjects of the dedication. The cafeteria on the left side of the courtyard features a gleaming stainless steel kitchen, large student dining area, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior of the cafeteria is bright and inviting with plenty of natural light. The fine arts building sits directly opposite the cafeteria and forms the right hand border of the courtyard.  The fine arts building features state-of-the-art rooms that are home to the BC High School Band, Chorus, and Strings.

The Brookland-Cayce High School Band under the direction of Mr. Dale Hair played several selections immediately preceding the official opening of the ceremony by the student body president, Mallie Baker. The quality and precision of the selections sounded as if the band had been performing them all year rather than just the last couple of months.

The Presentation of Colors for the national anthem was by the JROTC under the direction of Maj. Mark Cannady (U.S. Ret).  Mr. Scott Newman, BC’s principal, Dr. Venus Holland, District Superintendent, and Mr. Rick Shull, Board Chairman all gave short speeches during the ceremony. The Brookland-Cayce Chorus, Band, and Strings performed between the speeches.

The Chorus, under the direction of Ms. Wendy Humphries, and the Strings, under the direction of Mr. Andrew Preston, gave equally impressive performances. To see so many talented students involved in the diverse musical programs offered was an encouraging sign. Study after study show the direct correlation between academic performance and the arts.

It is evident that the schools commitment to the arts is going to be a good investment for many years to come. Brookland-Cayce has a 78-year history of changing and adapting to the times and needs of her students. This is the next chapter in that long, successful story.

“White men in white suits, only in New York!” exclaims a giddy black man dressed in Ghanaian/union square hybrid drab. These are the kind of elated responses strewn from the mouths of lucky bystanders who happened to catch last Saturday’s live, choreographed, barber shop quartetted rendition of “I Will Be Glad.” We ended up doing the performance in Union/Washington Square Parks, as well as the Union Square subway platform. The idea was to try a new promotion technique, in specific regards to our upcoming residency at PIANOS  (158 Ludlow Lower East Side  9/8- 50’s themed, 9/15 80’s themed, 9/22 2050’s themed.)

Come dressed accordingly and receive prizes and praises. Come dressed like shit and we’ll force you to experience the night wearing Bose sound reduction headphones playing Jean-Claude Van Damme commentary on Time Cop commentary.

So you are living in Atlantis – that vast island chain described by Plato, stretching right across the present Atlantic Ocean.

The less elevated islands have already disappeared in two previous inundations of  flood water, brought on by your leaders’ use of thermo-nuclear warheads.

The huge main island is almost the only stable land left, but the scientists have already foretold pending disaster as the volcanic forces beneath the strata build up for a final explosive desolation.

What to do? How can the fantastically advanced knowledge of the Atlantean race be preserved, so that future Earth races can use it and survive…if they heed the warnings?

Ah! The answer is to build a storehouse for this knowledge. A Hall of Records!

But where? The coming flood might conceivably be worldwide…

Why not build three halls? Scattered around the globe. Egypt. Bimini. Central Asia.

That explains the why, when and where. But how? How could the Atlanteans build something to survive the Flood? Obviously, by building it below ground level.

And that is what I believe happened. Only after the flood, would the above ground pyramid be constructed…to show us that it was marking something important!

No pharaoh was ever laid to rest in the Great Pyramid. The oesophagus was found to be empty. Ask yourself why.

Because the Great Pyramid was not ever intended to be a mere grave.
