Canadian SW speaking events

I always enjoy my speaking events in the Canadian SW, such as in Vancouver and in Nanaimo, British Columbia and look forward to speaking and facilitating seminars in the Canadian SW in 2012.

Was Present-day Israel Atlantis?

According to the Wikipedia article entitled, “Location Hypotheses of Atlantis,” Jaime Manuschevich believes that Atlantis was located in the territory that “today corresponds to Israel and Sinai.”

The article goes on to say that:

Atlantean civilization corresponds to the Natufian peoples, the first food-producing people, whose main political and harbor center was Jericho. These people lived in the region in the dates established by Plato (11,600 BC).

Was Atlantis in the Mediterranean Sea?

From my point of view, it does not make sense that Atlantis would have been in the Mediterranean Sea since Atlantis is almost the same word as Atlantic. Therefore, I would expect it to be in the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantis is not called, “Mediterranea.”
However, I see that a very informative Wikipedia article called, “Location Hypotheses of Atlantis,” lists about 12 locations in the Mediterranean from Andalusia to Troy.

Fifth Root Race Topic in Nanaimo

While in Nanaimo, BC, Canada, I will also be the speaker at their regular free Thursday night lecture on April 19th, 2012. My topic? “The Advent of the Fifth Root Race.”

Speaking on Atlantis in April 2012

On April 23, 2012, my day-long seminar will be on “Atlantis and Its Colonies in Egypt and Yucatan.” The event will be held in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.

Recent August Mercury Retrograde Experiences

Well, Mercury Retrograde is over now. How did you manage during that time?

By chance, I was away on a travel for almost the whole month of August. It seemed as if my travel, which is usually adversely affected by Mercury Retrograde, began as soon as the little planet began its backward trek. I return home almost as soon as the retrograde period was over. I am happy to report that there were no delays, re-routings, missed flights, or other travel problems.

Were there any Merc. Retro problems? I must admit that I feel grateful that I bothered to look up the predictions of this recent retrograde time. Since Mercury would be going backward from Virgo to Leo, the astrologers suggested problems with the communications, especially so since Mercury rules Virgo. They emphasized taking care to articulate carefully during confusing interactions with others. These incidents of misunderstanding did turn up. I remember a number of times when I especially remembered this suggestion and took the time to clarify my meaning and also to make sure I understood the other person’s meaning. It helped to know what to expect ahead of time. Of course, this is a good suggestion for communicating effectively at any time.

The Planet Mercury from a Wikipedia article on Mercury

According to an information-filled Wikipedia article, Mercury is similar in appearance to the Earth’s moon. It has both craters, smooth plains, and no atmosphere. Unlike the moon, it has an iron core, which gives it a magnetic field. However, Mercury’s magnetic field is only one percent the strength of the Earth’s.

Mercury is about to go retrograde on August 2nd. This small planet has a great affect on communications, travel, and relationships between people and can cause havoc during its retrograde periods, which lasts about three weeks.

Mercury Retrograde will begin in Virgo on August 2nd

In making plans for next month, I see that Mercury will begin to go retrograde on August 2nd. Mercury will be in the 2nd degree of Virgo at that time and will be moving backward or retrograde into Leo from our perspective here on Earth. Of course, the planet Mercury is not really going backward. It is just that Mercury, a small planet very close to the sun, is going around the sun. From our vantage point here on Earth, Mercury appears to go backward as it circles the sun in an orbit of about 90 Earth days.

Edgar Cayce Inspirational Quote

Here is a rather religious but nonetheless very comforting inspirational quote from Edgar Cayce:

Whether in joy, in sorrow, in trouble or in pain, let that mind be in you as was in He that gave, “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
