    Hmmm, not as fun to talk about compared to the rest.
    The empire as a wide ranging big brother faction in Orion, is something that
    I think resonates with people.

    This has something to do with

    George Lucas?

    Hollywood?

    Hot Women?


    Joking aside,

    I believe they are getting ready to make the announcement.

    Wind is correct. Atlantis, as recorded in Plato, was reported to the Athenian lawmaker Solon by the Egyptians, who had detailed historical records, as having occurred 9,000 years in his past, i.e. c.11,500 years in ours. This would coincide with Paul LaViolette’s galactic superwave theory, of which we may be getting some observational evidence in April. Courtney Brown is talking about some other event in our past, probably Lemuria. Scientists may have been ‘tinkering’ big time with the planet, but with superwaves hitting from time to time, a possible scenario would be that an earlier superwave was amplified by the tinkering.

    However, what bothers me here is the time element. Listening to that interview a few pages back among others, Courtney Brown is the first to state that remote viewing relies on the timeless state of multiple frequencies in the here and now. As he says, there is no matter in the form of hard particles, just energy frequencies that we tap into. Hence, there is no history either, whether in terms of time or in terms of hard evidence at the bottom of the ocean, which is just energy in the present as well. With a present effect of past trauma, what we are talking about is a scar on the earth, an area of dysfunctional energy that needs to be re-energized and cured. This reminds me of Dolores Cannon, for example.

    This same data could be found using Dolores Cannon’s deep hypnosis method. Typically, one of her patients might relate a past life as one of the individuals remote viewed by Courtney Brown’s crew. But they might also bring to the table some personal physical issue in the here and now that Dolores Cannon’s treatment would cure. This for me is the relevance of her work: making people whole as fully functional 21st century beings - the dysfunction being caused by trauma in the distant past. Barbara Hand Clow has a word for this: catastrophobia. The Earth herself bears multiple physical scars of all kinds of trauma and, just as for an individual human, and humanity collectively, these scars on the planet need to be removed by facing up to what we think of in terms of its history, and then letting it go as an aspect that no longer has an effect on its and our present.

    Star Wars? More of the same. “Humanity’s subconscious collective memory”: let’s deal with that - with 'Brown's gas', as Carmody might say

    In other words, to come to terms with any aspect of our traumatic history, we need first to know about it, then to acknowledge and accept it, and finally to let it drop as being no longer relevant except in a damaging way. Until we do that, all of us, we continue to live out this traumatic history. If your house is on fire because of a gas leak, the first thing to do is switch off the gas. Then you can put out the fire.

    About the subject of Atlantis.. Edgar Cayce knew a lot about it, so did Madame Blavatsky (though not sure she got the years correct) and also the Law of One texts talk about it. There were The Sons of the Law of One (STO) and then there were The Sons of Belial (STS).

    This is a very good text regarding the subject... I am unable to link the PDF here, if someone knows how to do it then I would be most grateful.

    A Story of the Sons of the Law of One

    "Over time, with the advent of civilization and technology, the divisions between the Adamic and pre-Adamic races became increasingly more apparent. Whereas the Adamic race held on to the belief in the one God who had specially created them, the preAdamic race refuted the belief in the existence of God, instead focusing on the acquisition of wealth and power - worshipping the creature rather than the Creator.

    As these differences became more and more clear, the world came to be divided into two basic divisions: the Sons of the Law of One, those who held to the belief in the one God as the creator of the universe and of mankind, and the Sons of Belial, those who denied the existence of God and instead worshipped themselves.

    Cayce explained it thus: "In Atlantean land during those periods of early rise of sons of Belial as oppositions that became more and more materialized as the powers were applied for self-aggrandizement."

    This "self-aggrandizement" took the form of the accumulation of wealth and power into the hands of a very few, with the result being extreme social stratification, where perhaps only a few dozens or hundreds of beings ruled over millions of slaves. This situation, of course, was unacceptable to the Sons of the Law of One.

    We find that in those periods there was not a laboring for the sustenance of life (as in the present), but rather individuals who were children of the Law of One - and some who were the children of Belial (in the early experience) - were served by automatons, or THINGS, that were retained by individuals or groups to do the labors of a household, or to cultivate the fields or the like, or to perform the activities of artisans. And it was concerning these "things" about which much of the disturbing forces grew to be factors to be reckoned with, between the children of the Law of One and the Sons of Belial. Much like the issue of slavery which, in the nineteenth century, sparked off a bloody civil war in America, this division over the treatment of these slaves, among other things, appears to have touched off a civil conflict in Atlantis which led to the First Destruction of Atlantis.

    While The Sons of the Law of One were busy developing tools of mass instruction about God and his plans for mankind, the Sons of Belial had been hard at work developing weapons of mass destruction in order to enslave mankind. In Atlantean land at the time of withdrawing from the Law of One - establishment of Sons of Belial - [the entity] was a priestess in temple built in opposition to the Sons of the Law of One - during time when there was the creating of the high influence of radial activity from rays of the sun that were turned on crystals in the pits that made connections with internal influences of the Earth." From the sound of this, it appears that in Atlantis, the peaceful coexistence - and possible intermarriage - between the Sons of the Law of One and the children of Belial ceased, and two distinct factions developed. The sons of Belial had apparently tired of the compassionate, humanistic approach of the Sons of the Law of One and, instead of using their technological prowess to help benefit mankind, tried to use it to conquer the world.

    The Atlanteans, both the Sons of the Law of One and the children of Belial, had developed a high technology using crystals and solar energy that they used to create electrical power for lighting, heating, travel, and related needs.

    The sons of Belial, however, broke ranks with the Sons of the Law of One and attempted to use that technology as a weapon. According to Cayce, the children of Belial had actually developed that technology to the point where they were able not only to harness the power of the Sun, but of the volcanic forces of the earth itself. However, they foolishly underestimated the power that they unleashed, and instead of releasing themselves from the yoke of the Law of One and conquering the world, they instead brought destruction on themselves, and great damage to the island of Atlantis in the process: "In Atlantean land during those periods when there were the destruction or separations of the land during the period of the first destruction - [the entity was] among those who aided in the preparation of the explosives or those things that set in motion the fires of the inner portions of the Earth that were turned into destructive forces."


    Edgar Cayce on the Great Crystal of Atlantis—and Beyond

    Later in the history Atlantis manifested itself in Egypt, Rome and now the US. Everything goes in cycles and we repeat the same old karmic patterns collectively and individually until we have fully learned the lessons... Which are very simple. Jesus among Budhda and other englightened beings were here to remind us about it.

    Off topic !!!

    If your system is windows and your browser is Internet Explorer, this site could be a help for you : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...s-on-a-website

    Or, still if windows, your computer is 'total crazy' try this : http://www.tweaking.com/ Windows Repair (All in One) v2.4.0 Released, download and run it. It will repair many things, but also if you have
    deactivated some services, it will activate them again. If you run the program, let it run till the end, don't interrupt. It will also repair Internet Explorer.

    Wind, thanks for posting that information....
    Rudolph Steiner said the same thing too and it's comforting to see that others too have been relaying the same information only in in differnt time era's. The last survivors of Atlantis ended up in what is now known as Ireland. From there they dispersed across the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia to spread their advanced knowledge and start up new civilizations.

    Soon we will be getting more information on the real significance of the Rendelsham Forest incident via Jim Penniston's upcoming book. The binary code that Jim downloaded after touching a landed spacecraft in that incident points to Hi Brasil in Ireland and its connection to Atlantis. This information jives very well with Steiners viewpoints too.

    Ah now I see, he is not addressing the altcomm at all with his Implications postings, we are already light years ahead of his/this message, but he could have made his quiz a bit harder for sure, unless the quiz is meant for the average 3 to 99 year olds. But Ok, Why = 2 and direction= former freedom fighter, that should be answerable by virtually anyone one the planet which would be his intention, where will he take history with his next posting for newbies.

    I haven't read every page of this thread from the beginning, but have visited it to catch up as time allows. I am also on Courtney Brown's email list, although it seems he must have a large email list because I'll find the content here before the email actually arrives to me. From the first few Implication Postings, I began to think about Jim Humbles talk about what he remembers from his past lives and how Earth was used as a prison planet to remove malcontents, criminals, and threats to control systems. It's quite a long video, and I've watched it at least twice all the way through, a few more times just portions.

    Having also been influenced from reading most of Dolores Cannon's books, hearing and reading Wesley Bateman's interviews and writings (Through Alien Eyes), and Robert Monroe's trilogy, plus more . . . Jim Humble's talk on this video was intriguing. It spans a vast amount of time and space and human history. Yet, people are the same as ever. With each subsequent posting from Courtney Brown I have looked for clues to discard this video, but so far it still fits.

    I am not on Facebook to see the discussion there, and perhaps this was already mentioned on this thread in the earlier pages, so my apologies if this is a repeat.

    From what I understood of Atlantis, from various venues, it seems that it destroyed itself in three (3) installments, the first being around 70,000 BC and the last one around 10,000 BC.

    There is also the idea that it wasn't necessarily a single landmass but a civilization much like a "British Empire" or an "American Coca-Cola/McDonald" civilization with many adept nations world-round....

    The bit about G. Lucas seems to confrim that, indeed, there is a "book" that sets the records straight. Now whether that book was entirely written from RVings, piecemealed together, or from actual ancient records... we'll see soon.

    In any case, what's interesting about Lucas' Star Wars is that it came out before LRH could produce his "Revolt in the Stars" which depicts aspects of the R6 incident/wholesale implanting of "Galactic Useless Eaters" in order to desensitize that period of Galactic History so as to avoid a complete re-enactment/dramatization of that incident which has been re-enacted over and over again since it occurred (the "Cycles" of which Atlantis repeated three of them and we now are on the verge of a fourth...).

    What's certain is that Hollywood is heavily influenced by those "incidents/cycles" and keeps pushing the triggering "buttons"...

    Hi Everyone.
    I have two pieces of information for you today. The first is an update on the expected timing of the upcoming big announcement, and the second is the release of the 7th Implications Posting. We lighten the mood with the latest Implications Posting. It conveys a useful concept, but it is also fun.
    Courtney Brown, Ph.D., Director
    The Farsight Institute

    ~~~~ UPDATE ON THE DATE OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT

    What I need now is some sleep. I have been on the phone all night with people in the U.K., India, South Africa, and elsewhere, all involved with the upcoming announcement. From the very beginning, the anticipated date of the announcement was 28 February 2014. But there were some uncertainties due to the international nature of the issues involved, so we held off releasing the date. It was wise we did that. Nothing can stop the announcement, but the date involved a lot of coordination with various parties. The problem has been further exacerbated due to the fact that the announcement involves a location which at the present time is not entirely stable politically. Also, shipping of critical materials was involved, and one shipment turned out to have been corrupted, apparently while in transit. This is now being addressed.

    After lots of discussion with people all over the world who are involved one way or another, we are now expecting the announcement to happen in mid-March, about two weeks later than originally anticipated. Again, nothing can stop the announcement. But this announcement can happen only once, and it has to be done correctly. Given the amount of coordination involved, mid-March 2014 seems to be optimal.

    For those of you worried about people being cynical due to a short delay in the announcement, just don’t worry about it. All of that will go away once the announcement happens, and nothing can stop that from occurring. This short delay is not significant relative to the importance of the announcement. Getting it right is more important than anything else. The world really will change on that date. The change will happen slowly, but it will begin on that date, and nothing will be the same afterward.

    I can't remember if I posted this already, but there is a lot of agreement with the information from Cayce and John Van Auken on Atlantis in James Tyberonn's channeled information.

    I don't think Courtney Brown is just messing with our heads, but I have to say, this thing about the upcoming announcements is reminding me a lot of the so-called "properity plan" NESARA hoax.
    I think he really needs to change his carrot/donkey tactics and not draw this out even longer into March.
    It's offensive to our sensibilities which have been violated repeatedly ad infinitum for years by endless advertising gimmicks and ploys.

    From what I understood of Atlantis, from various venues, it seems that it destroyed itself in three (3) installments, the first being around 70,000 BC and the last one around 10,000 BC.
    Atlantis indeed was an empire.

    "The physical Atlantis started to form 31 000 years ago. For a very long time it was a agricultural civilization and only 15 000 years ago it started to develop scientifically achieving very rapidly a high level of technological understanding, which enabled the use of intellectual infinity in a informative way. However the atlanteans focused on creating new life forms, instead of healing and consummating their own body/mind/spirit-development, which caused the overall development to turn into negative."

    The historical timeline goes like this, at least according to Edgar Cayce and the Law of One...

    10,500,000 BC.: The first apelike human beings living in caves separated to families. This formed the modern human body.

    200,000 BC.: Extraterrestrial spiritual entities arrived to earth forming the Lemuria/original Atlantis. Those beings were multidimensional and they had both physical and astral bodies.

    100,000 BC.: Astral entities started to become physical human beings.

    75,000 BC.: The thoughtform-entities started to fully transform to current physical human form.

    50,000 BC.: Lemuria was almost fully destroyed due to a pole shift and part of Atlantis was destroyed too.

    25,000 BC.: The great second deluge of Atlantis, the civilization was destroyed again.

    10,500 BC.: The third and final great deluge which caused the fall of Atlantis.... A great pyramid was built in Egypt and the remaining refugees from Atlantis split up and went in different parts of the world. The rest as we know it... Is history.

    very interesting Atlandide history



    Thanks Flash. I have a little problem with the Toba catastrophe mentioned here in part 1 and in the other interview as well. Courtney Brown is at pains to point out that the point east of Sydney where the explosion is said to have occurred is exactly antipodal to the point in the Atlantic Ocean 1,000 miles west of Morocco/Portugal: not just approximately, but exactly. But then he says that the Toba volcano said to account for the extinction level event 70,000 years ago as "in the same ballpark", i.e. we are talking about the same event. I just checked the size of this ballpark (Toba is in northern Sumatra): 7,700 km, that's nearly 5,000 miles. There is a major discrepancy here: you cannot talk in terms of pinpoint accuracy in the same breath as such rough-and-ready approximations. I find Brown rather less than convincing on this point.

    What I understood about "Toba" and the "ballpark" is that it had to do with the dating of ~ 70,000 not the location... that is, the timing of an Extinction of Life Event attributed to the Toba eruption.

    UPDATE ON THE DATE OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT
    Courtney Brown
    8:30 AM

    Quote What I need now is some sleep. I have been on the phone all night with people in the U.K., India, South Africa, and elsewhere, all involved with the upcoming announcement. From the very beginning, the anticipated date of the announcement was 28 February 2014. But there were some uncertainties due to the international nature of the issues involved, so we held off releasing the date. It was wise we did that. Nothing can stop the announcement, but the date involved a lot of coordination with various parties. The problem has been further exacerbated due to the fact that the announcement involves a location which at the present time is not entirely stable politically. Also, shipping of critical materials was involved, and one shipment turned out to have been corrupted, apparently while in transit. This is now being addressed.

    After lots of discussion with people all over the world who are involved one way or another, we are now expecting the announcement to happen in mid-March, about two weeks later than originally anticipated. Again, nothing can stop the announcement. But this announcement can happen only once, and it has to be done correctly. Given the amount of coordination involved, mid-March 2014 seems to be optimal.

    For those of you worried about people being cynical due to a short delay in the announcement, just don’t worry about it. All of that will go away once the announcement happens, and nothing can stop that from occurring. This short delay is not significant relative to the importance of the announcement. Getting it right is more important than anything else. The world really will change on that date. The change will happen slowly, but it will begin on that date, and nothing will be the same afterward."
