You really need to read the piece in its entirety. Not only is this a hilarious commentary on the “modern” trend to devalue tradition and human values, but also, it’s a great tongue-in-cheek comment on the mania to find Atlantis in many and diverse places. I must admit, reality stings at the thought of commercial development destroying a “miraculous habitation that has eradicated crime, poverty, and disease.” Bravo The Satirical Rogue!
Here’s an excerpt from the article – the first paragraph – to whet your appetite for the whole piece:

Lost City Of Atlantis Discovered, Rezoned for Commercial Development
These are just a couple of paragraphs of a fantastic answer to the question: Do you believe in the lost city of Atlantis? If you’re interested in this topic, I suggest you follow the link and read the whole article. The online name of the author is “Dubbs.” The question was posed on the Yahoo! Answers UK and Ireland website.
With science accepting this as our basis for the premiss of existence, it will interfere many other branches of science. Archeology isn’t about discovering the truth of our past anymore, it’s about upholding the accepted version of what we call prehistoric fact. The history books have already been written, so when somebody comes across an anomalous find that just won’t fit into the accepted data it’s usually refuted, lost and forgotten. There have been numerous archeological finds that challenge what we know about history and it’s never accepted, it would change things.
So when Plato was told about the existence of Atlantis by the Egyptian priests, of course it was refuted. If a technological advanced civilization existed 9000 years ago as he was told, it would raise too many unanswered questions. Timeas and Critias, the two priests that relayed the tale to Plato, told him of an island continent in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Straight of Gebralter), that once waged war against the rest of the world. While attacking Athens a cataclysmic event caused this continent to become swallowed by the ocean. The survivors fled to Egypt and taught the Egyptians how to build the pyramids.

I continue to prepare for my speaking engagements in Nanaimo, British Columbia, April 14th to 21st. As I went over what I’m going to share with participants of the Saturday, April 14th all-day event Everyone Has a Book in Them, I especially enjoyed this inspirational quote from Andre Dubus, author of A Father’s Story:
“Don’t quit. It’s very easy to quit during the first 10 years. Nobody cares whether you write or not, and it’s very hard to write when nobody cares one way or the other. You can’t get fired if you don’t write, and most of the time you don’t get rewarded if you do. But don’t quit.”
—Andre Dubus
How do you like that–10 years! Well, actually, in a way that is inspirational. When I have read the biographies of so many writers and creative people, they have pressed on year after year, before they were successful. And, as this quote says, they may also press on year after year, and get no rewards for their effort.
But, there is always the joy of connecting with one’s inner muse!

Here I’m filming footage to be used in a future movie on Yucatan. I’m perched at the rim of Cenote Zaci in Valladolid. A cenote is a sink hole down to underground water through the limestone shelf that makes the surface of northern Yucatan. Valladolid is one of my favorite places to visit in Yucatan.
In yesterday’s post I referred to a delightful article on the afterlife. I found the article delightful, because it reminded me of one of my past life regression hypnosis sessions in which the hypnotherapist asked me to go to the last day of my life while I was remembering a previous incarnation. As soon as I died (in that past life), my mother, who had passed on years earlier, was there waiting for me. I felt so happy that I could be with her again. The whole story of this reincarnation memory is in my book When We Were Gods.

I really liked this article on “life after life” posted on The Times of India. Remember, the predominant religion in India is the Hindu religion which believes in reincarnation. As soon as I saw the title of the article, When Your Earth Visa Expires, I knew I wanted to read it. And, as it turned out, I enjoyed the article. It spoke to me. Here’s an excerpt:
Continue readingWhen TV channels are changed, it is only awareness that is shifting from one channel to another. The old channel doesn’t cease to exist because the new channel is being viewed. It is just that the screen is now displaying a different frequency. This is the same principle that happens when we die. Our awareness is tuned into a different frequency of creation. The Earth plane does not cease to exist, but for the person who has passed on, the frequency of awareness has shifted. The reality they perceive is now different.Similarly, for those on Earth, the person seems to have gone, but in reality the soul has just moved onto another frequency of awareness. It leaves behind the empty human body, a kind of virtual reality device, through which the soul experienced life on the Earth.The opposite of life is not death.
The opposite of birth is death. Life is eternal. Birth and death are just entry and exit points of incarnations.
I look forward to giving my Everyone Has a Book in Them all-day event in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, on April 14th at 10 a.m., sponsored by the Nanaimo Metaphysical Network. As I prepare for it, I think back to the time when I was just starting to write my first book, The Golden Ones: From Atlantis to a New World. At the time, I found it so difficult to get down to writing.
When I look back, I can see that writing this almost daily blog has really helped with the writing process. Now that I have to sit down and write something most days for this blog, I find that sitting down and writing my next book, marketing material for the book, or working on my latest movie is relatively easy. My creativity flows much easier. Hopefully, I can help others to make their writing process easier.

Today, I’m preparing for my one-day talk in Nanaimo, British Columbia, on Saturday, April 14th, 2012, sponsored by the Nanaimo Metaphysical Network. I will be speaking on Everyone Has a Book in Them, one of my favorite topics, because it is much more than a seminar on writing your book and getting it published. It is also about honoring your innate creativity, an attribute of your soul.

I am excited, because I’m really close to getting the first edit of my 2012 end of the world movie complete. I just added the Hunbatz Men interview about Stele One and the December 21, 2012 date in Coba, Mexico.

In preparing for my Everyone Has a Book in Them all-day event in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, next month (April 2012), I am reminded of Edgar Cayce’s reading extolling the virtues of following impulses from the Creative Forces:
