A Matter Of Time

"It is not fully understood what the exact mechanics behind polar reversals are exactly, though it is speculated that a slip in the lithosphere due to the weight of ice build up at the South Pole could account for it. It is however, widely accepted and agreed that reversals tend to happen when there is a wide divergence between the magnetic and geographic poles (as is presently the case). Another possibility is that the Earth is grossly unbalanced. That is the greatest area of landmass is immediately opposite the greatest body of ocean and since the relative weights between land and water are disproportionate, one side of the planet is much heavier than the other making its rotational forces act a little like an unbalanced washing machine. This theory also gives rise to the possibility that some force of influence, possibly a largish meteor impact or the close passage of another celestial body could literally flip the planet over on its axis.

It has also been speculated that polar reversal actually involves a fluid like layer of the earth known as the lithosphere. If the theory is correct then the link between magnetic and geographic reversal may possibly be more apparent.

It is known that vast streams of magma constantly flow beneath the Earth’s crust. Much of it rises from deep within the earth through the movement of tectonic plates but a good deal of it is

also produced from the heat build up of pressure and movement in the region where the earth's crust meets the second layer. This second layer is called the mantle and it is much harder than the crust. Due to rotation, axial wobble and the sheer weight of pressure, the crust is in a state of constant movement and is always rubbing against the mantle. This rubbing produces heat and more magma which then creates a thin layer of 'sludge' between the crust and mantle. It has

been theorized that it is this thin layer of fluid-like sludge known as the lithosphere that occasionally allows the crust to simply slip around the outside of the mantle. Just imagine a baked potato wrapped in aluminum foil with the potato as the mantle and the foil as the crust. It is easy to slip the foil around to the other side of the potato without changing the orientation of the actual potato. In this type of scenario the actual planetary axis would not shift geographically but the crust would reorient itself in relation to the mantle with catastrophic results. This would cause drastic geographic and magnetic changes on the surface. You can image what kind of earthquakes would occur on a planetary scale if the entire crust slipped around the mantle. It has been predicted that in such a slip of the lithosphere most of the water on the planet would temporarily relocate to the poles before spreading out around the globe again. The wall of water produced in such an event would be well beyond anything that could be categorized as a 'wave'.

In such an event the continent that is now located at the South Pole for example, could theoretically move to a different location and a new continent could literally take its place to begin its own private ice age just as Antarctica is doing now.

Is such a slipping of the lithosphere possible? Yes, unfortunately it is.

The earth is flying through space, and when I say flying, I mean really flying folks. I mean we are really stepping out, pedal to the metal. The Earth's rotational speed is about 1,000 miles per hour and while we’re spinning like some huge top we’re also racing non-stop around the sun. Earth travels along its orbital plane at around 66,600 miles per hour (18.5miles per second). I know it all seems nice and casual and peaceful while you just sit around on the surface reading or whatever, but folks we are really on the move. Earth's axis is, of course, tilted to the perpendicular at about 23.5 degrees which gives us our four seasons, but while we’re spinning at this angle we are also wobbling slightly on this 23.5 degree axis. This slight discrepancy to the vertical obliquity of the elliptic is an excursion of about 2.4 degrees in either direction from our true axis. The full cycle of one wobble from 24.5 degrees to 22.1 degrees takes around 13,000 years to complete in each direction giving us a round trip total of 26,000 years from point A and back to point A, providing us with the 26,000 year procession of the zodiac. You get all that? It seems solid on the surface but it’s not really a totally stable rotation.

One major factor contributing to a lithosphere slip could be the enormous and ever increasing weight of the south polar ice cap. The Antarctic ice cap grows by an estimated 10,000,000 cubic meters of ice a day just through normal condensation, dew and snow fall which generates an incredible amount of added weight to the ice cap daily. When such weight is combined with axial wobble and a layer of fluid like sludge between the crust and the mantle, a sudden slip of the lithosphere becomes a very real possibility and it would only take something like a celestial event to serve as the catalyst to trigger it off.

A similar effect to that which creates the fluid layer found in the lithosphere can be seen on a smaller scale in the south polar ice cap itself. The enormous weight of the ice resting on the continent beneath it, subjects the surface of the continent to a huge amount of pressure. Pressure creates heat and when that is combined with tectonic movement the result is a thin layer of sludge lying between the ice cap and the continent and one that is in a constant state of movement. Given this fact, there is even the distinct likelihood that the entire south polar ice cap could even just

slip off the continent it’s resting on and into the ocean, causing massive floods and tsunamis world wide. The great flood of Noah in the bible was said to have come from the south. The ancient deluge spoken of in the Sumerian tales was reported to have come from the south. In fact it’s the same in virtually all of the ancient myths that deal with or mention the flood in any detail at all.

There is an abundant wealth of evidence to suggest that the people of the ancient world understood the cycle of rotational events surrounding polar reversal far better than we do today and took the event quite seriously. It is no surprise that they considered the information to be extremely important. They understood that as one day gives way to the next and one year to the next, so does one age give way to the next. They understood very well that when these changes occur there are periods of great disruption and turbulence that can be incredibly destructive to life on earth. They have stressed repeatedly through their monuments and texts that this

destructive cycle is repeated again and again and is a routine element of the planet we live on.

All of the texts, all of the monuments and all legends from all cultures that refer to such an occurrence, hint at the same message: The event always occurs close to a change in the zodiac.

We are currently in the 'no time' between Pisces and Aquarius. The work in done in ‘Hamlets Mill’ by Giorgio De Santillana & Hertha Von Dechend, plus a basic understanding of celestial mechanics, aptly shows that due to our current orbital position in the vastness of the Milky Way, the possibilities of something like this occurring very soon are extremely possible.

Through studying ancient texts, geological evidence and by modern scientific methods we can be absolutely certain that polar reversals have definitely occurred quite often in the past. We

are able to irrefutably predict that another polar reversal of some type will indeed occur again in the future and that it is in fact, only a matter of time. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent such an event and when it does happen, it has the potential to be either a huge inconvenience or a catastrophe of epic proportions with few survivors. Whichever it will be, we can only hope that such an event does not occur for as long as possible."

You Need Have No Fear Of Failure

"During the four year period from 1908 to 1912 he had then continued further, also successfully surveying the boundary of Paraguay and the border between Peru and Brazil. Then Fawcett’s mind began to turn toward the undertaking of various explorations in the region. Finally, when embarking upon a new expedition from a place deep in the Brazilian jungle that he had named 'Dead Horse Camp' he wrote his last letter to his wife on May 29th 1925.

In the letter he said this to her:

"Our route will be from Dead Horse Camp, 11° 43' south and 54° 35' west, where my horse died in 1921, roughly northeast to the Xingu, visiting on the way an ancient stone tower which is the terror of the surrounding Indians, as at night it is lighted from door and windows. If we do not return, I desire not that you organize any rescue game ... It is too dangerous. For if I, with all my experience, fail, then not much hope is left in the triumph of others and I would not encourage such an attempt. That is one of the reasons of why I do not say exactly where we go ... one thing is doubtless: the answer to this enigma and perhaps to the prehistoric world... it will be found when these old cities have been located and are open to scientific research. BECAUSE the CITIES EXIST... of THAT I AM CERTAIN........You need have no fear of failure."

And those were the last words that anyone ever heard from him."

Get some sort of a scientific grip!

“There is a feature of this 10,500 BC correlation which suggests strongly that coincidence is not involved. The pattern that is frozen into monumental architecture in the form of the pyramids marks a very significant moment in the 25,920 year procession cycle of the three stars of Orion’s belt – one that is unlikely to have been selected at random by the Pyramid builders... The question reduces to this: is it a coincidence, that the Giza necropolis as it has reached us today out of the darkness of antiquity, is still dominated by a huge equinoctial lion statue at the east of its horizon and by three gigantic pyramids disposed about its meridian in the distinctive manner of the three stars of Orion’s belt in 10,500 BC?”
“And is it also coincidence that the monuments in this amazing astronomical theme park manage to work together – almost as though geared, like the cogs-wheels of a clock – to tell the same time?”
When this information was coupled with the West and Schoch water erosion evidence, the picture was complete for them. But when West and Schoch completed testing their theory and first excitedly announced the results of their investigations to the world, the outcry was almost deafening and the barrage of criticism overwhelming. Egypt’s top Archeologist Dr Zahi Hawass and another renowned Egyptologist Dr Mark Lehner who is considered the world foremost authority on the Sphinx, were quick to launch scathing personal attacks on the pair and publicly discredited the theory as much as possible. Dr Lehner even went so far as to accuse West and Schoch of being “ignorant and insensitive”.
Now just think about that for a moment – science, insensitive? It is a somewhat unusual remark to come from a scientist don’t you think? His sole intent was to remove the issue from the scientific arena and place it on a more personal playing field. As usual in many such cases it was a public display of a most unscientific attitude that completely failed to address any of the evidence that was being presented. The whole affair was similar to a school boy who had a drawing criticized by one of his peers rather than a scientist debating evidence. For heaven's sake... “insensitive’? Get some sort of a scientific grip!
These personal attacks we are now seeing so frequently are actually a highly political strategy that has recently been adopted by Academia and are fast becoming the standard final move. The method is often employed by cunning politicians when losing an argument. If an issue becomes too obvious to argue against, the best tactic is to discredit anyone who dares to call ‘that which is accepted’ into question thereby shifting attention away from the actual issue and turning it into a more personalized attack against the presenter. It’s the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes Syndrome’.
In the case of the Giza complex, rather than having to argue a case they are aware they could not possibly win, Hawass and Lehner again simply invoked the demeanor of ‘untouchable authority’ that is presumed by their positions in the academic hierarchy. It should be mentioned here that Anthony West himself actually holds no credentials, being a self-taught archeologist and so is not part of the 'club' so to speak. Though even with this being the case, his research on the Sphinx was nothing short of excellent and his finding were backed up by a considerable amount of scientific, geological and astronomical data. (It probably should also be pointed out that Albert Einstein was just a patent clerk when he destroyed many of Newton’s theories. Back then, intelligence was intelligence. Things are not quite that simple now.)
Shortly after the theory was put forth, the American Association for the Advancement of Science invited a debate on the issue, but only Lehner and Schoch were allowed to participate while West, who held most of the evidence, was not, due to his lack of credentials. As was discussed in chapter one, this is another method the Academic community constantly employs to keep credible new information and theories out of the public information loop:
Academia decrees that only people with degrees and doctorates are permitted to practice science and they have two very important and quite simple filters in place to ensure that independent research is suppressed: One, credentials and two, peer review. Because no matter what your evidence or theories are, nothing gets past peer review. But you cannot receive peer review without first having credentials. But of course in order to get credentials you need to tow the party line and embrace the accepted theories or you simply won’t get your degree in the first place. So what do you do? Remember 'Catch 22'? It’s actually quite brilliant in its simplicity – in some scary way.
Again this is a ridiculous and extraordinarily unscientific approach to science because science is something that anyone can study and learn. All that is needed is for one to possess a keen and analytical mind. A person does not need a degree to educate oneself or record facts or to conduct experiments, observe their outcomes and think about them in a critical way. In a truly free and open society where the pursuit of true knowledge is nurtured, science by its very basic fabric, needs to be part of the free democratic process and all theories examined. Science was never designed to be an 'elitist club' presided over by closed minds. Such behavior is truly irresponsible and can only ever serve as a hindrance to legitimate research and the genuine pursuit of real truths. Science cannot properly function as an 'authoritarian regime'.
The thing is that the entire debate over the real age of the pyramids and the Sphinx could very easily be put to rest once and for all if the Egyptologists really wanted to settle the dispute. They
simply need to hire a team of independent and impartial investigators to either prove or disprove the theory once and for all.
Why hasn’t this been done? And why are they so against anyone doing it?"

Io Non Sono Un Pittore

"I've already grown a goiter from this torture,
hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy
(or anywhere else where the stagnant water's poison).
My stomach's squashed under my chin, my beard's
pointing at heaven, my brain's crushed in a casket,
my breast twists like a harpy's. My brush,
above me all the time, dribbles paint
so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!

My haunches are grinding into my guts,
my poor ass strains to work as a counterweight,
every gesture I make is blind and aimless.
My skin hangs loose below me, my spine's
all knotted from folding over itself.
I'm bent taut as a Syrian bow.

Because I'm stuck like this, my thoughts
are crazy, perfidious tripe:
anyone shoots badly through a crooked blowpipe.

My painting is dead.
Defend it for me, Giovanni, protect my honor.
I am not in the right place—I am not a painter."

As Palavras Interditas

"Os navios existem, e existe o teu rosto
encostado ao rosto dos navios.
Sem nenhum destino flutuam nas cidades,
partem no vento, regressam nos rios.

Na areia branca, onde o tempo começa,
uma criança passa de costas para o mar.
Anoitece. Não há dúvida, anoitece.
É preciso partir, é preciso ficar.

Os hospitais cobrem-se de cinza.
Ondas de sombra quebram nas esquinas.
Amo-te... E entram pela janela
as primeiras luzes das colinas.

As palavras que te envio são interditas
até, meu amor, pelo halo das searas;
se alguma regressasse, nem já reconhecia
o teu nome nas suas curvas claras.

Dói-me esta água, este ar que se respira,
dói-me esta solidão de pedra escura,
estas mãos nocturnas onde aperto
os meus dias quebrados na cintura.

E a noite cresce apaixonadamente.
Nas suas margens nuas, desoladas,
cada homem tem apenas para dar
um horizonte de cidades bombardeadas. "


Eugénio de Andrade

"I can make the earth stop in
it's tracks. I made the
blue cars go away

I can make myself invisible or small
I can become gigantic & reach the
farthest things. I can change
the course of nature
I can place myself anywhere in
space or time
I can summon the dead
I can perceive events on other worlds
in my deepest inner mind
& in the minds of others."

O Homem E Os Seus Símbolos

"Nao importa o que sustentamos, a verdade é que nunca nos poderemos dissociar da existência da psique - pois estamos contidos nela e é ela o único meio que temos para alcançar a realidade.

Assim, a descoberta moderna do inconsciente fecha uma porta para sempre. Ela exclui definitivamente a ideia, defendida por alguns, de que um homem pode conhecer a realidade espiritual em si. Na física moderna, outra porta foi cerrada pelo "princípio da indeterminaçao" de Heisenberg, que destrói a ilusão de se poder compreender uma realidade física absoluta. A descoberta do inconsciente, no entanto, compensa a perda destas ilusões tao queridas, abrindo-nos um enorme inexplorado campo de realizaçoes no qual a investigaçao científica objectiva combina-se de modo novo e curioso com a aventura ética individual. Mas, como dissemos no início, é praticamente impossível transmitir a realidade total da nossa experiência neste novo campo. Ela é, muitas vezes, única e só pode ser expressa pela linguagem de modo parcial. E aqui também fecha-se uma outra porta, desta vez à quimera de que se pode entender completamente uma outra pessoa e dizer-lhe o que melhor lhe convém. Mais uma vez, no entanto, vamos encontrar uma compensaçao para esta lacuna no novo reino que se apresenta à nossa experiência graças à descoberta da função social do self, que trabalha secretamente para unir indivíduos que se acham separados e que foram feitos,  no entanto, para se entenderem.

O debate intelectual é, assim, substituído por acontecimentos significativos que se produzem na psique. é por isso que quando o indivíduo se entrega seriamente ao processo de individuaçao do modo que esboçamos acima ele vai adquirir uma orientação totalmente nova e diferente em relação à vida."

"Aqueles que se devem habituar a enfrentar a morte precisarão, talvez, reaprender a velha mensagem que ensina ser a morte um mistério para o qual nos devemos preparar com o mesmo espírito de submissão e humildade que precisamos ter para enfrentar a vida."

"Mas os ritos não oferecem invariável ou automaticamente esta oportunidade. Aplicam-se a determinadas fases da vida de uma pessoa, ou de um grupo, e se não forem apropriadamente compreendidos e traduzidos numa nova maneira de vida o momento pode escapar. A iniciação é, essencialmente, um processo que começa com um rito de submissão, seguido de um período de contenção a que se sucede um outro rito, o de liberação. Assim, todo indivíduo tem possibilidad e de reconciliar os elementos conflitantes da sua personalidade: pode chegar a um equilíbrio que o faça de fato um ser humano e também, verdadeiramente, o seu próprio dono."
