Newest Title: Arrival of the Gods in Egypt

Well, as it turned out, I went with another title for my latest book. It’s now called Arrival of the Gods in Egypt: Hidden Mysteries of Soul and Myth Finally Revealed.

Here’s a copy of the fantastic front cover of Arrival of the Gods in Egypt:

Underground Caves in Yucatan

As I said yesterday, Edgar Cayce, America’s “sleeping prophet” said in trance that records left by Atlanteans could be found in Yucatan, Mexico.

It turns out that Yucatan is riddled with extensive underground cave systems. I wonder if the ancient Atlanteans placed their records in one of these caves. Some of the caves extend for miles underground and also include underground rivers.

Mexican Underground Cave System: Lost Records from Atlantis?

In referring to my previous post of July 30, 2008, I quoted an excerpt from a article posted on Yahoo News proclaiming that archeologists are reopening a secret cave under a Mexican pyramid. My comments included the following:

How exciting! I wonder if the archeologists will discover a tomb as they did in Palenque, which was also in a hollowed out area under the Pyramid of Inscriptions.

I also wondered if this cave could contain the Records from Atlantis, which Edgar Cayce, the “sleeping prophet” said would be found somewhere in Yucatan, Mexico.

For years, I’ve been fascinated with Cayce’s psychic readings on Atlantis that said that there were three places on earth where inhabitants of Atlantis had left records of their civilization.

In Egypt, presently buried close to the Great Sphinx
Off the coast of the Bimini Islands in the Bahamas buried under the slime of the Atlantic Ocean
Yucatan, Mexico, under or in a temple (or pyramid–he sometimes uses the words “temple” and “pyramid” interchangeably) that may have slid into the sea during earth upheavals

Because the cave undergoing recent excavations is in Teotihuacan, which is close to Mexico City and therefore NOT in the Mexican state of Yucatan, I doubt that records from Atlantis will be found here.

Nonetheless, it does remind me that the whole of the Yucatan Peninsula, which includes the Yucatan State, is riddled with underground caves where the Atlantean records may be hidden.

TENACITY SPOTLIGHT: Walter Elias Disney

If you’re in one of those stuck or bewildered emotional places where you need some inspiration and encouragement, this is a great article. It’s from Alex Mandossian. I thought he was mainly known as a speaker, but his web site says he provides marketing know-how for information publishers, owners of small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Biographer Dr. Gene Landrum reports, “Creative geniuses (like Walt Disney) never give up and therefore seldom succumb to the vagaries of change and innovation.”

Story: When Disney drew the first Mortimer Mouse (later Mickey Mouse) many of his associates, including his brother, Roy, laughed at his creation.

His colleagues and critics did the same for The Three Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Both animated productions were labeled “Disney’s Folly.”

Walt’s Disneyland idea (now acknowledged as ”The Happiest Place On Earth”) was ridiculed as a “carny” idea from a man with a “Barnum and Bailey” mentality.

But Disney never allowed expert opinion or adversity to halt him from creating what he recognized as unique and innovative children’s entertainment.

It was his tenacity as an Entrepreneurial CEO that enabled him to protect his ideas and confidence to consequently build the world’s most famous animation empire and amusement park!

I especially like knowing that Disney launched his ideas, for example, Mortimer Mouse, before he was sure the idea was right. The name “Mortimer,” as the excerpt above states, must not have brought the results Disney wanted because he later changed the name to that of the very famous and beloved Mickey Mouse.

Right now, I’m in the process of reworking the title of my latest book, You Are Blessed, because the present title is not working. Me and Walt, together. It feels good to know I’m not the only one. I am encouraged.

I hope the article encourages you too.

Wishing you happiness and success,

Researchers Open Secret Cave Under Mexican Pyramid

Here’s an excerpt from a July 13, 2008 article by Miguel Angel Gutierrez:

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Archeologists are opening a cave sealed for more than 30 years deep beneath a Mexican pyramid to look for clues about the mysterious collapse of one of ancient civilization’s largest cities.

Researchers open secret cave under Mexican pyramid – Yahoo! News

The article goes on to say:

“The soaring Teotihuacan stone pyramids, now a major tourist site about an hour outside Mexico City, were discovered by the ancient Aztecs around 1500 AD, not long before the arrival of Spanish explorers to Mexico.
But little is known about the civilization that built the immense city, with its ceremonial architecture and geometric temples, and then torched and abandoned it around 700 AD.
Archeologists are now revisiting a cave system that is buried 20 feet beneath the towering Pyramid of the Sun and extends into a tunnel stretching for some 295 feet (90 meters) with a height of 8 feet.
They say new excavations begun this month could be the key to unlocking information about the sacred rituals of the people who inhabited the city, later dubbed “The Place Where Men Become Gods” by the Aztecs who believed it was a divine site.”

How exciting! I wonder if the archeologists will discover a tomb as they did in Palenque, which was also in a hollowed out area under the Pyramid of Inscriptions.

I also like the title the ancient Aztecs gave the location: “The Place Where Men Became Gods.”

It reminds me of the title of my book, When We Were Gods, which describes hypnosis-induced memories of ancient Mexico and a journey to the Yucatan where I found images in ancient ruins of my memories. Here’s the amazon listing if you’re interested in reading more about When We Were Gods.

Photography Downloads and Back ups

For the last week, I’ve been downloading and backing up all the photography I took while in Montreal and Burlington, Vermont.

I also hadn’t backed up the photography I took while in British Columbia, Canada.

Today, finally, all my media cards are empty. I’m tired but happy that it’s finally all done.

I’ve been taking pictures for next year’s Edgar Cayce Calendar, Divine in Nature: with Inspirational Quotes from Edgar Cayce.

Smithsonian Mag: Tattoos in Ancient Egypt

If you’re interested in ancient Egypt, you’ll find this excerpt from the Smithsonian Magazine’s Blog on the origin of tattoos intriguing and also full of information:

Tattoo Art in Egypt
It was believed for a long period of time that tattoo art originated in Ancient Egypt where many figurines, tomb scenes and mummified bodies were found with tattoo art on them. It should be noted where as one might think tattoos was a way for male self expression, tattoo art in ancient Egypt was only found on women. For a short time researchers thought that the act of tattooing an Egyptian women meant that she was a prostitute or a dancer, usually being of no importance.

However as more research was done on this evidence it was discovered that only a certain class of women wore tattoo art and these women did not belong to the lower classes, but the more important upper classes in Egyptian society. It is now believed that the tattoo art of ancient Egyptian women were located almost exclusively over the breasts, upper thigh and stomach. The designs used were generally a net like pattern of dots across the skin. It is now believed that the ancient Egyptian women used the tattoo as a form of protection rather than self expressive decoration and it was meant to keep the mother and children in the womb safe during the pregnancy and childbirth.

The Smithsonian Magazine Blog

I wonder if the many young people who feel compelled to adorn their bodies with tattoo art have had a reincarnation experience in ancient Egypt.
