My New Book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, is Here!

I’m pretty happy today because my new book, Arrival of the Gods in Egypt, arrived a couple of days ago. It looks gorgeous! The cover is fantastic! I really love the back cover too.

Arrival of the Gods in Egypt is a true story describing a search for evidence of Atlantis in Egypt at the time when apparitions of the Virgin Mary are appearing in a town out-of-bounds to foreigners.

Visit to the Carmelite Monastery in Montreal

I couldn’t find directions to the site of the Montreal apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary from 1998 to 2006. However, as described in previous posts, I had discovered the visionary was a Carmelite nun and that there was only one Carmelite monastery in Montreal.

By telephoning the monastery, I learned that mass is conducted every day at 8:00 AM except on Sunday when it’s at 10:00 AM.

And that’s where I went this morning. As the web site says, the monastery is situated in an industrialized part of Montreal. It is at 351 Ave. du Carmel. I also learned that it is not far from the Rosemount Metro Station.

Stone walls surround the monastery. A lovely stone church surrounded, by beautiful, serene grounds holds the small sanctuary which only contains 14 small pews–seven on each side of a central aisle.

Because I did not know that the cloistered nuns would be out of view to the left of the altar, I did not think to sit at the front, right of the pews so I could get a glimpse of them. Perhaps, one of the nuns is the one who saw the apparitions and heard Mary’s messages.

Although I could not understand the French service, I enjoyed basking in the atmosphere even though the man sitting beside me suffered with a bad case of morning breath and occasionally burped or coughed. I reminded myself that if this was the extent of my suffering I had to be a very fortunate person.

Every once in a while, a pitch pipe would sound and the invisible nuns on the left would softly sing, a capella, a short hymn. The people in the pews would join them.

I feel happy that I had the privilege of being in the vicinity of the visionary who had personally experienced Mary (probably) and that I sat in the place that Mary had visited. I say “probably” because I did not talk to anyone to receive verification but have merely made assumptions.

OK, I admit it, I felt lacking in courage even though I prayed for strength. I did take photographs of the church from the outside though. I loved being in a church that honors a woman and a mother.

There was one nun in the sanctuary with us. She wore the brown scapular of the Carmelite order. This is a garment made out of brown cloth. It was originally given to St. Simon Stock of the Order of Mount Carmel by Mary in apparition form in 1251 in England. The scapular is the symbol of the Carmelites. Lay people can also wear a version of it. Mary said that whoever was wearing the scapular upon their death would be saved from purgatory.

There’s more information on the history of the Scapular and the Rosary, Mary’s prayer and beads at this link:

Marian Apparitions & Carmelite Nuns in Montreal

Because I am still in Montreal, I am still hoping to discover something about the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary experienced by a Carmelite nun here between 1998 and 2006.

Today, I am at the Internet Cafe searching for information on Carmelite Monasteries. The good news is that there is only one. The bad news is that Carmelite nuns very seldom leave the monastery.

I have yet to find the location of the monastery except that it is in an industrial part of Montreal.

However, I did find some interesting information about neuro-biological studies being conducted in which 15 of the nuns ranging in age from 23 to 64 years agreed to tests of their brain waves while in a heightened mystical state.

Here are the links to articles on the studies (you’re going to have to copy these URLs and paste them into your internet browser because I can’t figure out how to make the links live. Normally, when I’m home, they just automatically go live as soon as I publish the post–another one of life’s great mysteries. I also can’t figure out how to NOT to make the whole post BOLD #&*I#–yes, I feel very frustrated.):

Mary Apparitions in Montreal?

Today I’m on the trail of apparitions of the Mother Mary in Montreal. Information about the location of the apparitions are not easy to find.

I’ve read about apparitions that appeared to a Carmelite nun at

http://www.carmelita-delmis.org/english/index.htm

There’s also supposed to have been an apparition in Montreal in which a statue of the Holy Mother wept blood in 1985. For this one, click on the following link:

http://www.crystalinks.com/weepingstatues.html

(Scroll down to the section on “Italy” about the 10th paragraph in which the author refers to the Montreal statue that bled tears of blood.)

All this information is lovely except that if a person, such as myself, wants to find the statue or the location of the apparitions that came to the Carmelite “Delmis,” so far, I haven’t found a clue as to how to find them.

While I’m here in Montreal, I’d like to photograph the sites and chronicle these apparitions but I don’t know how to even begin because people I talk to have never heard of them and because there’s so little specific information on the internet other than Mary’s messages for this particular apparition.

Edgar Cayce Calendar and Mother Mary

Today, I’m on my way to Burlington, Vermont, and Montreal, Canada. I plan to take photographs for next year’s Edgar Cayce Calendar, Divine in Nature: with Inspirational Quotes from Edgar Cayce.

In Montreal, I also hope to track down the location of a recent apparition of the Virgin Mary and use the information in a book I’m working on.

Mary Mother of God’s Appearance in Egypt

Mary, the Mother of God has had two major appearances in Egypt. In 1968, in Zeitun, a suburb of Cairo, and in Asyut, a town forbidden to foreigners, situated along the Nile in the middle of the country in the year 2000.

Legend has it that Mary and Joseph, when they fled from King Herod with Baby Jesus, traveled in Egypt, Asyut being the most southerly place they stayed.

The apparition that manifested in Asyut was unusual in that everyone could see her. Usually, only one or at the most a handful of visionaries can see Mary, for example, in Fatima in 1917 when three peasant children saw the Holy Mother.

In Asyut, everyone could see the apparition.

Mother Mary Brings Peace to a Town in Egypt

Blessed: A Quest for Atlantis in Egypt Leads to Apparitions of the Virgin Mary, a book about:

Few Westerners know that an apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in Egypt in the autumn of the year 2000.

Mary manifested in Assiut, a town out-of-bounds to all foreigners because of 25 years of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism.

After she began to appear in the town, the terrorism stopped. Assiut knew peace.

In her appearances, Mary says she comes to bring peace.

The Blessed Virgin Mary

I’m pleased to say that I’ve just finished the first draft of the new Blessed.

When I wrote the first Blessed, which was published in 2005, I left a lot unsaid about my ideas on the relationship between the Virgin Mary and the Atlantean serpent.

It writing this new, updated, version, not only have I revealed my ideas about Mary’s connection with Atlantis and specifically the powerful transportation serpents of Atlantis, but also, while I was writing it, many more insights came to the fore.

I’m really happy with the way the new book has come together. It builds on my exploration of evidence of Atlantis in ancient ruins–this time in ancient Egyptian ruins as well as the ancient Mayan ruins–and also reveals which serpent’s head Mary crushes.

Clue: It has something to do with Atlantis (as I’m sure you’ve guessed).

Next, I have to decide whether the new, updated, revised version should have the same title or a different one.

Bright skies and fresh breezes,

Virgin Mary

Working on the “New, Updated, Revision” of Blessed: A Quest for Atlantis in Egypt Leads to Apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Finally, the last chapter is coming together: the whole relationship between Mary and the winged serpents painted on the walls of the pharaoh’s tombs. It helped so much to see things from the point of view of Mary and Jesus being twin souls.
