“Some things that should never have been forgotten, were lost. History became legend, legend became myth…” (Lord of the Ring – Tolkien) We walk in many places, transported as by magic into a dark and hidden past by sites built by ancient ones – Machu Picchu, Peru; Baalbek, Lebanon; The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt; Stonehenge, England… Many, many more mysteries cry to be de-mystified; and the voices of the ancient ones sing in the oaks, call from the skies and sigh in the winds yet how few stop to listen. The System has imposed a ban, a great silence over the past. it covers the mind of man as a veil covers a statue. “Thou shalt not imagine aliens once stepped here for such do not exist, not here, not now, not ever. “Thou shalt worship only the invisible gods we order you to believe in, for all else is lies.” Yet I wonder still: from whom did those wonders – many which today’s technology would be hard pressed to duplicate – come? |

In my mind I often walk these ancient paths, immersed in the unity of everything. Thank you, kindred spirit, for such an energizing morning visit. There are so many questions that we can never answer by limiting ourselves to what mainstream texts put forth as truth. |

I am incredibly fond of: “the voices of the ancient ones sing in the oaks, call from the skies and sigh in the winds(!)” (they most assuredly do!!) The Egyptians put an incredible high polish on igneous rock that cannot be entirely matched today…and, one would be hard pressed to slip even a credit card between the stones of Machu Pichu… the ‘blue stones’ of ‘Stonehenge’ where hauled somehow an incredible distance from Whales to the Salisbury plain of S. England… ‘magic’ indeed! AND: “The System has imposed a ban, a great silence over the past. it covers the mind of man as a veil covers a statue(!)” If that were not the case…government, academia, all of human kind would be freely and actively studying the most ‘important’ (Unexplained) phenomenon in history: “Agriglyphs” (crop circles)… the most magnificent of which are definitively NOT simply ‘human hoaxes’ as the governmental ‘powers that be’ and their media stooges would have us believe! I am especially glad Lebanon was included in this wonderful “WW.” Machu Picchu write! I was remembering and contemplating said in “Ruins of Lebanon” (‘archived forum # 40): /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=103&topic=003696 I haven’t had the courage to attempt an ‘impression’ of “Machu Picchu” or ‘Stonehenge’ though… MAJOR long-sustained applause for this penning!! |

and the voices of the ancient ones sing in the oaks, call from the skies and sigh in the winds yet how few stop to listen. You say it so beautifully! Just this evening I watched a transmission on tv about the mystery of "Atlantis". Our past is extremely fascinating, as is our future and we shall see and hear things beyond our wildest imaginations. We must be allowed the freedom of widening our horizons! Love and thank you. Margherita |
