October 2000 Rioting in Cairo

In my latest book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, I wrote:

While writing this book, I looked online for documentation of the rioting in Cairo and found none. I also could not find documentation supporting a declaration of war by Israel. However, I did find information saying that peace talks had been in progress at the time. Perhaps declarations of war had been threatened during the peace talks.

I did find archived articles by the London Times. One article, dated Monday, October 2, 2000, said that Israeli troops had killed a ten-year-old boy the day before, which was the day I flew out of Cairo. Evidently, his death was the 28^th Muslim fatality in only four days. He was also the third child killed in that short time. I can see why people in Egypt would be outraged.

Sequoia Trees, Lemurian Natives

 As I said yesterday:

Amazingly, the giant Sequoia trees, the largest trees on earth, are surviving Lemurian vegetation.

Carol Chapman —

The Sequoia are the largest trees on earth by volume. A close relative of the Sequoia, the giant Redwoods, also of California, are the tallest trees on earth.

According to some researchers, both of these trees once belonged to the lost continent of Lemuria. Must of Lemuria was destroyed by earth upheavals before Atlantis and descended into the sea. However, part of the lost continent of Lemuria remained above water and, due to continental drift, bumped up against the Rocky Mountains and the West Coast of North America.

Edgar Cayce, Lemuria and Una Marcotte

Yesterday, I visited Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to hear a fascinating lecture by Una Marcotte, an expert on Lemuria.  

Whereas, most speakers interested in ancient mysteries focus on Atlantis, ancient Egypt, Yucatan and the ancient Maya – or anyway, I certainly do in my books When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt – Una emphasizes the ancient civilization that flourished before Atlantis, which was known as Mu. Una explained that the name, “Lemuria” resulted when a 19th century researcher gave the name to a land mass he believed disappeared into the ocean.

I felt absolutely enthralled as she spun her tale, The Ancient Ones of Lemuria, about life forms called the root races, which are different body types used by the soul to interact with the earth. She said that the Lemurians were the 2nd root race and that we humans, a very dense and heavy creature, are the 4th root race. The amazing Lemurians could create companions with thought, a magical people, who Edgar Cayce called thought forms.

Una also showed us maps illustrating where Lemuria or Mu had existed. Most interesting to me, she said that the West Coast of the U.S., including California, had once been a part of Mu which had drifted up against what is now called the Rocky Mountains to create two parallel sets of mountain ranges. Amazingly, the giant Sequoia trees, the largest trees on earth, are surviving Lemurian vegetation.

For her research, Una consulted the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce and Rudolph Steiner plus the research of Churchwood and Cerve. She also referred to my own research, which had surfaced in past life regression. I loved how she put all the information together in an easily understandable manner.

Once a month, the A.R.E. hosts The Forum, a free lecture, co-moderated by Lindy van Burik and Day Schwartz, a daughter/mother team who love to tell jokes to entertain their audience. The Forum is always an enjoyable and informative evening. Next month, November 2008, the speaker will be a psychic medium.

Edgar Cayce Quote

This Edgar Cayce quote is taken from the Edgar Cayce Calendar, the inspirational quotation for the month of April 2009. I’ve also included the beautiful nature photography that goes with the words of encouragement from one of the world’s best psychics.

“Quiet, meditation, for a half to a minute, will bring strength – will the body see physically this flowing out to quiet self, whether walking, standing still, or resting. Well, too, that oft when alone, meditate in the silence – as the body has done.” (Edgar Cayce Reading 311-4)

The lovely inspiring photo was taking at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. It is their tranquil meditation garden.

Shaved Eyebrows in Ancient Egypt

This little snippet piqued my interest and brought a smile to my face. I guess people in ancient Egypt felt felt as deeply bereft at losing their pets as many people do today.

People in ancient Egypt shaved off their eyebrows to mourn the death of a household cat. (www.worldanimalday.org.uk)

TheStar.com | Ideas | 10 things we learned this week

Is that why the ancient Egyptians had such dramatic elongated eyebrows? Had they painted over their shaved brows after losing a beloved household feline?

I’m saying this rather tongue-in-cheek because I’ve also read that the ancient Egyptians colored their eyes and eyebrows so dramatically with black to protect their eyes from the sun.

In addition, during my autumn 2000 travel to Egypt, I discovered that some Egyptians follow an ancient tradition of covering their hair with mud and dust when they grieve the death of a human loved one. You can find a description of this practice in my latest book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.

Country Singer Reba McEntire believes in Reincarnation!

How do you like that? Reba McEntire believes she’s been born again and she doesn’t mean “born again” in the religious sense. She means reincarnation.

Country queen Reba McEntire has stunned her legions of devout Christian fans by revealing she believes in reincarnation.

In an interview with country news website GACTV.com, the flame-haired singer insists she’s been a man in a previous life and she has known her son Shelby before.

Will her “born again” fans be able to stick by her?

It may turn out that many of them secretly believe in reincarnation as well!

Working with Dreams so They Work With You

Today I’ve been proofreading the manuscript for my next book. Here’s how it starts:

When people discover that I first met my husband in a dream—he is literally the man of my dreams—they want to know, “How did you do that? Can I do it too? Were you doing anything special to make that happen?”

Of course, I was doing something special beforehand! I had been keeping a dream journal for years. And, I was doing a lot more than working with my dreams. I had been living a life of unfolding intimacy with my soul. For years, I have integrated short routines into my everyday life that let my soul know I want its guidance.

Love and Happiness in a Relationship – Meaning Behind Dreams

Here is a comment by Christina Sponias who says that she’s an expert writer in Portuguese and a scientist psychologist who has continued research in dream interpretation by following in the steps of her mentor Carl Jung.

after putting all the dreams together, was that almost everyone had a love problem reflected in their dreams, besides problems with other aspects of their lives.

Love and Reasoning: Love and Happiness in a Relationship – Meaning Behind Dreams

She goes on to say”

“It was really very interesting to observe, after collecting all the dreams, that everyone sees many dreams about the person they love, and everyone receives guidance about how to proceed, from the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams.

The meaning behind dreams reveals to the human being that there is an animal and a wild part in his brain, which has to be tamed and transformed into human. This transformation is indispensable if he wants to live far from depression, craziness and suicidal thoughts.”

She also says that

“Therefore, if you want to be happy in your relationship and if you want to be loved for life, you have to pay attention to many details concerning the personality of the person you love, because they may be too influenced by the wild side of their brain, or they may belong to a psychological type which is the opposite from yours, and this relationship won’t make you happy.”

I find her reference to a person being “influenced by the wild side of their brain” very interesting. It gives me a lot to think about – that our relationships may be in jeopardy if we allow the wild side of our brain to control us. Also that the wild part of the brain needs to be tamed and transformed into a human give me cause to think.

Is succumbing to our wild animal brain the cause of so many of our failed relationships?

Damaged Egyptian "Mecca" To Be Restored

 I know it doesn’t make sense that all of the pharaohs would be buried in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. There were Egyptian Kings throughout Egypt, not just in the central area. Nonetheless, today I was surprised to see this National Geographic article on the restoration of burial sites in Abydos, Egypt.

Millions of Egyptians crossed the desert surrounding Abydos from 664 B.C. to A.D. 395 to pay homage to the god of the dead, Osiris. Many of Egypt’s earliest pharaohs were buried at the site.

Damaged Egyptian “Mecca” To Be Restored

The article goes on to say that many of the temples and tombs in the Abydos area contain the earliest known hieroglyphic writing. Evidently farms and roads are encroaching upon the 3.1 mile- (5 kilometer) wide area.

Evidently most of the damage to the area occurred prior to the 1970s when people built homes in the ruin area. For example, one house contains the stump of a pillar from the temple of Ramses I. During the 1970s, the Egyptian government relocated people who had moved into the ruin area and compensated them.

However, the archeological zone is only now about to undergo restoration. This is a very important area because it contains the history of the earliest pharaohs.

This is, therefore, the area that must contain the earliest copies of what is popularly called The Book of the Dead. It is a very valuable area! I am glad it is being restored. Who knows what mysteries of human origins may be solved there.

Another Inspirational Quote from Edgar Cayce

	Here’s the gorgeous photograph that illustrates the March 2009 Edgar Cayce Calendar.

The accompanying inspirational quotation from Edgar Cayce says:

“. . . keep close to all of those things that have to do with outdoor

activities, for it is the best way to keep yourself young – to stay

close to nature . . .” (Edgar Cayce Reading 3374-1)
