Delightful Message from Crop Circle Makers

When I first saw this post, I assumed the crop circle makers were human beings and the article would be about exposing a crop circle hoax. Well, I was mistaken! They are from Arcturus. How wonderful! Following, please find an excerpt:

We are from Arcturus and we agreed a long time ago that part of our contribution to humanity would be to bring forth these patterns, that would assist the uplifting of the vibration of humanity and these are done in several ways. Firstly there is the pattern itself which I am describing to you. Secondly there is the energy that the pattern contains. Many have experienced the extraordinary changes which happen when you meditate in these patterns. So the patterns themselves contain an energy.

Background to the crop circle makers

Isn’t that lovely! For more, just click on the link above. The article is by Richard Presser who much channel the Arcturians. There are also gorgeous crop circle photographs. My favorite is the one with swirly arms that looks like a spiral galaxy.

Guatemalan Mayan Priests Comment on New Age 2012 Prophecies

How unusual! How delightful!

Following, please find a reference to the opinions of actual living Mayan priests in Guatemala on New Agers’ 2012 predictions which, according to this quote the priests call, “twaddle.” Read for yourself:

However, Mayan priests living and working in Guatemala aver that the so-called Mayan Prophecy for 2012, as touted by various foreign New Agers who have no knowledge of Mayan culture, language, or religion, is twaddle.

2012 Doomsday

I don’t know who the author of the article is or whether this quote is authentic. But, I enjoy including it as a balance for all the wild extravagant claims of either utopia or annihilation by numerous New Age authors.

“Twaddle” is a nice amusing word for taking the wind out of extravagant claims.

A New Look at Reincarnation

A blog post by Krishna Bill on the California Psychics website quotes Psychic Tammy who has a unique perspective on reincarnation. She says that:

“what we may think of as “past lives” are actually being lived simultaneously to this one – that they may, in fact, be lives that we are living at the same time as this one in other dimensions.”

Who ya gonna call? 2 ghosthunters groups to inspect ‘secret city’ inn

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) — The Alexander Inn in Oak Ridge will be inspected by two paranormal investigation groups this summer.

The inn, also known as the Guest House, was used by notable figures during the Manhattan Project when Oak Ridge was known as “the secret city” while the atomic bomb was developed.

The two groups are the Tennessee Division Office of Paranormal Studies, based out of Crossville and Chattanooga, and Secret City Paranormal, headed by Oak Ridge area residents Scott McGill and Greg Murr.

According to The Oak Ridger newspaper, speculation has endured that the inn is haunted.

The Office of Paranormal Studies will do its investigation at the end of this month, the Secret City group in late July.

Guatemala Landslide Result from Tropical Storm Agatha

Miriam Balsley, the narrator of the Yucatan Travel Movie is presently in Guatemala doing a Spanish Language Intensive. Tropical Storm Agatha, the first of the season’s possible hurricanes, has just swept through Guatemala. In her blog, Miriam writes:

Walking up through the main center path from the boat dock, it is shocking to see where the center of town got swept into the lake.

Jaibalita, Guatemala, landslide devastation.

People and dogs use a boardwalk over the hole where the city center of Jaibalita once was.

Jaibalito . . . the aftermath

Guatemalan Yucatan Difficulties

As I mentioned in a previous blog post, Miriam Balsley, narrator of the Yucatan Travel Movie, is presently in Guatemala undertaking a Spanish Language Intensive. It turns out that she’s experiencing more than she expected because the country has recently had a volcanic eruption of a volcano she climbed last month, a 30-story deep sinkhole at an intersection in the middle of Guatemala City, and the tail end of the first hurricane of the season, Tropical Storm Agatha that led to landslides.

Miriam tells me that the land that slid is not so much mud as volcanic. It is more loosely packed than the earth I’m used to.

Her photographs of the devastation caused by the landslides are quite amazing. Right in the middle of the town of Jaibalito there is nothing left but dirt. Same with a field of banana trees. A swath of devastation right down the middle with trees standing on either side of the landslide as if nothing happened. Amazing!

And, garbage – tons of it!

Wizardry takes over Lost Continent at Orlando

Is this a trend? Harry Potter is getting more interest than the Lost Continent . . . meaning, I supposed, Atlantis, at Orlando theme parks. Is this a trend for the world? Greater interest in Harry Potter than in Atlantis? Oh my!

According to the Orlando Sentinel:

Scott Smith, a professor in the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management, predicts that Universal will eventually opt to convert the rest of the Lost Continent section of Islands of Adventure into an expansion of Wizarding World.

Universal has already turned two Lost Continent rides into Potter-themed rides — the renamed Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff roller coasters. That leaves only two significant attractions — Poseidon’s Fury and the Eight Voyages of Sinbad Stunt Show — to anchor Lost Continent.

One of a Kind? Harry Potter’s Success in Orlando Could Lead to More Parks

I guess ya gotta keep moving and changing those attractions to keep them customers comin’ back!

Yucatan Travel Movie’s Mexican Music

I videotaped Carmen’s Mariachi Band at El Ranchito Mexican Restaurant’s Cinco de Mayo celebration for part of the music track of the Yucatan Travel Movie. One of the traditional Mexican songs the band played was called, El Herradero. I’d like to know what the words mean in English. Here are the Spanish words:

EL HERRADERO

Ay, que linda!
Que rechula es la fiesta de mi rancho
con sus chinas, mariachis y canciones
y esos charros que traen sombrero ancho.

Que bonita!
ésa yegua alazana y pajarera
pa’ ensillarla y ponerle una mangana
y montarla y quitarle lo matrera.

Que rechula es la fiesta del Bajío!
Ay, que lindas sus hembras y su sol!
Rinconcito que guarda el amor mío
Ay, mi vida, tuyo es mi corazón!

Ahora es cuando
valedores a darse un buen quemón
que ésa yegua que viene del potrero
sólo es buena pa’l diablo del patron.

Las mujeres
han de ser como todas la potrancas
que se crían y se amansan con su dueño
y no saben llevar jinete en ancas.

Que rechula es la fiesta del Bajío!…

El Herradero Lyrics

OK, here is the Google Translation:

Oh, how beautiful!
That is the party rechula my ranch
with their Chinese, mariachis and songs
and those cowboys who bring wide-brimmed hat.

How beautiful!
that mare and aviary
pa ‘saddle and put a MANGANA
and mount and remove it matrera.

That rechula Bajio is the party!
Oh, how beautiful their females and sun!
Rinconcito that keeps my love
Oh, my life, yours is my heart!

Now is the time
supporters to take a good quemón
that this mare that comes from pasture
only good pa’l devil pattern.

Women
have to be like all the fillies
reared and tame with its owner
and they can not take a rider on his haunches.

That is the party rechula Bajio! …

Obviously, all the words did not quite translate correctly, but, hey, what the heck, that’s way better than all the unsuccessful searching on the internet I was doing trying to find an English translation. This will have to do.

From the words I can put together, I suspect El Herradero is about some powerful dude who owns horses and thinks women should be tamed like horses . . . anyway my best guess. Manuel, who plays for Carmen’s Mariachi Band, the group who played this song for the Yucatan Travel Movie, says El Herradero is about a Ranch Owner. Sounds right.

Nibiru Sightings

I’m interested in discoveries of the planet Nibiru because I recently heard from a friend that information that came up in my past life regressions of Atlantean memories agreed with Zechariah Sitchin‘s translations of ancient Sumarian, Egyptian and Hebrew texts.

According to an article by Delphine, excerpted below, Nibiru has been discovered and photographs taken of it.

Nibiru is a planet that orbits our sun every 3600 years. It got its name from being an elusive planet. It is suggested that current astronomy points to the possibility that Nibiru is a brown dwarf or dark star rather than a planet. This has the implication that our solar system, like the majority in the known universe, is a binary star system; in other words, Earth has two suns with Nibiru being the second and less bright. The first real pictures of Nibiru were photographed shortly after January 26, 1983. The astronomers calculated at that time that Nibiru was over 50 million miles away from us. In 2004 Nibiru was determined to be only 7 million miles away. Confirmation of the twelfth planet Nibiru was photographed in Japan on February 28, 2008. It exists, and it will be on Earth by the end of 2012. Nibiru will appear as two suns in the sky no later than 2011.

Nibiru in 2012

Very interesting is all I can say.

Whew! What a Relief! Guatemala Sinkhole is NOT a Sinkhole!

Two days ago, on June 1st, 2010, I wrote about the sinkhole that formed in Guatemala City, saying that in the Yucatan Travel Movie we had said that sinkholes or cenotes formed in limestone millions of years ago. However, the Guatemala sinkhole, which collapsed four days ago, refuted that opinion.

Therefore, I am so happy to see that Sam Bonis, a geologist at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, who is currently living in Guatemala City, says that the Guatemala sinkhole is not really a sinkhole. And, that the land through which the sinkhole collapsed is not limestone.

It is pumice fill, which is the consistency of gravel when it is spewed from a volcano, and which, over time, compresses into rock.

In fact, Bonis thinks calling the Guatemala City chasm a sinkhole is a misnomer—a true sinkhole is an entirely natural phenomenon. There is no scientific term for what happened in Guatemala, he said, adding that he recommends the pit be dubbed a piping feature.

Guatemala Sinkhole Created by Humans, Not Nature

Bonis calls it a “piping feature” because he used to work for the Guatemalan government’s national geology institute and that in investigating a similar sinkhole that occurred nearby in 2007, it was found that leaking sewer pipes had caused erosion of the loosely packed pumice fill and had led to the collapse of the 2007 sinkhole.

As part of a volunteer team that investigated the 2007 sinkhole, Bonis co-authored a report warning the Guatemalan government that similar holes will very likely keep appearing unless action is taken to inspect the city’s sewer system for weaknesses.

Guatemala Sinkhole Created by Humans, Not Nature

So that’s a relief to me to know that our information in the Yucatan Travel Movie on naturally formed limestone sinkholes called cenotes still stands.
