Dreams, Numbers, & Coincidences

I am starting this, Part 2 of the article, today, October 8, 2001. It contains various notes and e-mail correspondence concerning dreams, numbers, coincidences, etc., that seem related to the September 11 tragedy. Some of the original e-mails containing material that has already been covered.  In this part of the article, I have clipped those parts out, and indicated this by a [skip]. I am making a few explanatory comments that were not in the original e-mails.  I will use the color purple for such comments, and place brackets [  ] on each end.

I drew the above picture in my notebook on June 22, 1991. My notes recording the dream were written at 12:36 PM. I am typing from my notes here:  

I woke up at 11:20 a.m. and remembered a heavy-duty dream.  

A group of people and I were in a cove on the beach, looking across the bay at a fantastic scene.  Two gigantic birds that resembled airplanes were over there.  One had crashed into the side of a big cliff.  The head was inside the cliff.  The other  bird was milling around the other one.  They were black and orange and looked about 200 yards long.  

There was a heightened intensity you could feel in the atmosphere.  The people were greatly frightened and were excitedly talking and pointing.  I was saying that it is finally happening.  They have actually come.  It's starting.  I started to tell the people to not fear, that it was actually a wonderful thing, the coming of the New Age.

We saw animals (I think) and people flying quickly high over head.  They were coming from the direction of the giant birds and flying directly over us, one at a time.  They looked very determined and seemed to have the same destination.  

The dream changed and I was running down a highway at night with some other men. I knew I had to get to an old friend's house quickly and tell him what was going on.  I thought the friend was Don Smith, a kid I knew in high school, but was not a close friend.  I was questioning if he was the one I needed to see.  It was raining as we ran. I kept slowing down and trying to light a cigarette. I would not come to a complete stop and couldn't get it lit in the rain. There was a canopy or covering over an overpass or bridge and I thought I would get my cigarette lit, but I didn't.  

Then I was in a big city and looking at a big tree-covered mountain, right there in the middle of the city. I knew the people I needed to see lived up at the top. I went up easily until I got near the top. I could see the patio about 40 yards up, but not the path to get there.

I started climbing the rocky cliff-like side. The rocks were loose and it was very precarious. I was grabbing at branches sticking out of the rocks. A slab-like rock about 18 inches long fell. I thought I saw writing on it, like an ancient tablet or something.  I figured it would break to pieces when it hit the ground. I wondered if it would hurt anyone in the city below.  I got scared and started to climb back down. This was even more precarious. I finally got down to a place near a ledge, which I realized was a lower patio to the residence.

There was no way to get to it except grabbing a limb of the tree sticking out between me and the patio. I jumped and swung my arm over the limb. I swung precariously with my feet dangling in space for a moment.

I noticed that there were some people on the patio that had come to see what was going on. I swung over and landed next to them.

Suddenly we were in the upper patio behind the large residence. There was a mother and two girls. She sent them into the house, or they went in of their own will. The mother looked about 35-40 years old, light brown hair (I think) and was pretty. The daughters looked about 13-16.  

I started to explain about the bird-airplanes and the cosmic event happening. Before I got very far, she said that she had already heard it on a news broadcast. As she started to explain, I realized she was talking about a completely different but equally tremendous event. She said that she had not told anyone the news. It was like she was trying to ignore it.

That's all I remember of the dream. I'm not sure about all that it means. I think part of it involves some concepts I was writing about last night in my letter to Ms. Marshall of the College of Psychic Studies. I was telling her about how divergent groups need to come together, like with the science of chaos.

I think the dream suggests that incredible, miraculous events may be in store for us. This is already happening with the crop patterns, but there may be more. It could be similar to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," where the other world actually reveals itself. But it could be metaphors of large ideas and change without the actual events. I'm not sure. The crop phenomena suggests to me, that the former may be the case.

The two airplanes may suggest the dual aspects of the Deity. Black suggests the invisible world and orange, the male-sun-physical.

The cliff, I think, suggests the idea of the "fall" from the garden on a large scale. I think it may mean that this means of learning will be eliminated eventually. I think it is the male aspect meeting this challenge head-on. It's stressful and the giant bird-airplane's vision is obstructed by earth or the physical reality. But both birds are grounded in the collective subconscious [water]. The giant bird waiting must be the female aspect, Mother Goddess. She can't take on the physical part and must wait.

The giant airplane idea suggests that the aspects are made up of many entities, yet have a separate, combined and individual consciousness. Birds suggest, of course, feathers. They are truth and sometimes are perceived as knives, or something which prunes or carves out old ideas. That is exactly what truth does. Fear and resistance to change is what causes the feathers to appear as knives or swords. The cliff also suggests "the wall" [like Pink Floyd's "The Wall"] of conditioned beliefs.

The various animals and people flying overhead are the various entities being sent to help in the change. Each is different, yet single of purpose. I think it means that various people will be informed in a manner appropriate to them, but it will be the same basic message.

The whole scene at the beach is a visit to the dream-world. It is where the spirit and body meet. The group with me is showing that others are seeing it too.

When the scene changes to night and running, it is our earthly struggle toward the awareness. Rain is the spirit falling. The darkness is the lack of enlightenment. I'm not sure about lighting the cigarette, but it may be showing habits in general, including eating, sex, etc. They can tend to slow you down and distract you. But the spark and fire may hint at the ignition and light of truth symbolism. The tobacco may suggest the sacred herb and in-breathing pulse, like the peace pipe. The canopy or overhang suggests a protection from rain, which is like falling back into old, consensus belief patterns, which feel more comfortable, but block the spirit (rain) coming down. I am tempted by that bad habit, but never succumb to it.

The mountain in the city suggests the spiritual climb to a higher perspective. I would think the mother was a Mother Goddess figure, but I'm not sure. Perhaps all three women were the Goddess and I was communicating with one aspect.

But, she may have represented Ms. Marshall and others that I am contacting. It is their female-intuitive selves, they are on a very high perspective, yet are hiding in their ivory towers.  From my viewpoint, they are blocking the New Age by not getting together and communicating. The message they are receiving is tremendously important but they don't see it as the same message because it seems different. The mother sending the children inside hints at the idea of the protective instincts of parents causing messages to be blocked.

The climb at the top is interesting. I'm grabbing at limbs or breaking off the tree of knowledge/life in order to gain a higher perspective and reach the goal. The rock-tablet falling is suggestive of the "accidental" finding of some of the ideas.

Like Moses or Joseph Smith, they suggest Divine messages of truth. I'm too involved to really read and understand the message. They are falling to the people below and may cause stress. The tablet will probably break and the pieces have to be re-assembled (a cymbal) to be understood. Just when I feel defeated and stop my climb, and start to retreat, I see the other patio which turns out to be an easy path to the top. I grasp a large limb of the tree (of knowledge) to get there.

Dream notes from March 8, 1994.

At 3:31 a.m. I dreamed that I joined the Army, for a career, I think. I was sent to Germany. When I arrived there, I found that I was lost in East Germany. I had only $10 and had forgot my orders. I told someone that I had to go back to West Germany and find my base. I didn't even know which one to report to. I had to throw away an old, large sky-blue suitcase. It had my old, cherished items from my youth, neatly wrapped, sentimental things. I grieved at having to throw it away, although I didn't use any of it, and hadn't even looked through it for many years.(excess baggage/beliefs, ways.)

I saw an old friend, perhaps Fred Nelson from high school. I asked him for directions to the gate to West Germany. He gave instructions that were confusing. He saw that I didn't understand, so he took me over about 30 yards and pointed to it. It was not far away, some several miles, and straight down the main street of the city we were in.

The gate looked like a large Greek or Roman building or monument. I drove toward it, then stopped about half way. I pulled off the road, got out of the car, then saw Fred. Tom Wilson, another high school friend, was there too. I told them about my worries, and having only $10. Tom loaned me $10. I told him I would pay it back, and would send it to Fred. I held up the business card Fred had given me with his address.

I drove through the gate, which was a street with turns through the big building or monument. Near the center, the street widened into a big room with some gate guards. One guard said it was $8, so I gave him a $10. He said, "Thanks," and smiled at the other guards. I realized he was going to keep the $2 change.

In West Germany, I found myself driving off the road on a hillside. I thought of sleeping in the car, but decided against it, because it would be difficult to sleep on a slope.I decided to find the nearest U.S. military base, and get help. The scene changed. I was in a large barracks room with lots of solders. I was worried that I was in trouble with the Army. I would be AWOL the next day, and I didn't even know where my base was, or have my orders. I talked to some of the solders. I filled a sink with water to wash up. The sink backed up and the water became cloudy and polluted with stuff, perhaps pieces of food.

Then Shawn (John Mason's friend) came in, acting like a sergeant, or something. I touched him with my wet hand to get him to recognize me, then we shook hands. I was a bit embarrassed that this made his hand wet too. We talked some. He showed me respect, which impressed the other solders, because Shawn was tough on them. I felt comfortable, confident, like at home. I asked Shawn if he was a sergeant He said no, he was in the English Army.

Then I was with a chubby girl. I had gone to her apartment. We started to have sex, but a family came in. (A woman with several children, I think.)

This is at least the second dream recently, where I join the Army. I think this refers to the Army of Heaven, or something.

In Randy's dream in 1990, the Navy ships went in reverse over the horizon, as the bomb was dropped. In Jeff's dream, the White Solder was being shot at by the solders in the old uniforms. Jeff was made to "stand up" by the White Solder, who took him "hostage." This is perhaps related to Rev. 11:11, where the two trees "stand up" after the 3 1/2 days.

Fred Nelson is a successful banker. He played at tackle next to me on the football team. In Roberta's dream of the Seven Sisters, and their (Adamic) family, the Mother said that her husband was soon going to retire, and "We will own the bank."

Taking loans, as in my "charge card" dream, seems to be about karma or judgment. Interestingly, in this dream, I borrow $10 from Tom, and pay out that amount to the gate guard. A verse in the Bible says that everything will be accounted for to the penny.

The washing of hands, is related to other dreams of washing, like in the dream of the "charge card," my big family went to the city and went into the big laundry mat to wash our clothes. The food-like stuff in the sink may show that I am washing my hands of the old food-for-thought.

Tom Wilson came with Art Wilkerson to Germany in 1964, and visited me in Giessen, where I was stationed in the Army. We went on vacation together to Holland. We went to Ampsterdam, then Shavening, near The Hague, where the "World Court" is located. Tom became a high school shop teacher. This may be related to the teacher of the "Craftsmen/Builders," and the Demiurge. We are the "builders" here.

[skip]

Perhaps he [Shawn] represents a Shiva-like character in the dream. As a tough sergeant, he rules over the men. Our world is like "basic training," a mind-altering conditioning, where we do all sorts of worthless things in order to carry out a meaningful mission later.

Dream notes from April 30, 1994

At 12:14 a.m. I dreamed of a big truck carrying giant tubes (about 15 to 20 feet long), shaped like toothpaste tubes, or those used in oil painting. They were suspended vertically on the truck, and had different colors and writing on them for identification. The tubes contained garbage and waste products that had been separated, and refined into a paste. The truck took a left turn near an industrial structure, and came too close to some pipe works. The tubes caught on some valves and were ripped open. The awful gunk oozed out from the tubes. The paste was of different colors and uniform. It looked like colors in oil paint set tubes.

Then I saw horrible scenes of people being slaughtered. Many people running around chaotically were maiming and killing each other. A person walked by me with his face maimed and bloody with gashes. Someone was saying how even friends you knew in high school might kill.

At 2:24 a.m. I heard:

"Joseph, you went into sacrifice in the land of Egypt." I was thinking something about Jacob-Isreal, the Son.

Dream notes from May 6, 1994

At 6:01 a.m. I heard:

"My (?)Father was a used car dealer. I'm sure hegave many people falsities, ones that they wanted and needed."

At 6:16 a.m. I had the dream thought: "Such geometric designs on neckties."

This was about sacred geometry, especially those involved in creations of human realities. The neckties related to the verse in Isiah about "loose the cord from your neck," and to the depiction of an aspect of Kali in The Tantric Way, where she holds a noose.

At 6:25 a.m. I heard: "I found that the geometric shapes and the Zodiac,were the multidimensional ways of His expression."

At 10:47 p.m. I had an extensive dream with many scene changes. I couldn't remember it all. I was in a multi-level house confronting demonic-like forces. I was confronted by illusions, like being trapped or powerless. Each time, I very forcefully, aggressively rejected it, refusing to give in, and overcoming it. It would disappear, and another one would come.

I walked down some stairs and felt the evil presence. At the bottom, there was no doors or windows, no place to go, making me feel claustrophobic, trapped. An object like a credit card was mounted or embedded in the wall. I knew that the card had the power I needed. I grabbed it, but it was cemented in, or something. Using all my might, I ripped it out, breaking pieces off the wall. I yelled repeatedly, "No wall can hold me! No wall can hold me!"The scene changed and I was with my nephew, John's, wife outside a rustic house in a wooded area that reminded me of their place below Carmel. John pulled up in a car with his friends, and two other cars with his friends pulled in behind him. They were like a group of buddies who liked to party and have fun together. John's wife suddenly realized that he was supposed to have the rental car he was driving returned the previous day. She was upset, and reminded John that the car was overdue to be returned. He was unconcerned, and said he would "shine it," meaning that he would calm the anger of people at the car rental place, using his charm.

I was going to drive a rental car home. (to Carmel, I think)

A girl needed to go to San Francisco, so I volunteered to drop her off there on my way. The look on her face told me she was happy that I showed such affection and caring, and was pleased and relieved to have the transport back to San Francisco. As I thought about how far away, and out-of-the-way, it was, I began to regret that I make the offer.

The scene changed and I was in a house-trailer with a few other people, including Art Wilkerson. He was standing in front of a picture that also was like a mirror. I moved a little, and then saw him with dark brownish-red skin, with pale white polka-dots. This matched the background on the right side of the picture/mirror that also became visible. I called to another person to take a look, but he couldn't see it, until I asked Art of move a little.

The scene changed again, and I was laying on a couch asleep, or half asleep. It was night time. I had been drunk on brandy the night before, and was feeling hung-over, real bad. An oriental woman, who reminded me of Dits Peavey, walked by me to answer a knock at the door. She had called the doctor to come help me, as I seemed to be in seriously bad shape. She opened the door and the doctor came in with his bag, looking serious, like it was urgent. As he approached, I called to him, and sat up. I put my right arm out to the side, because I thought he was going to check my pulse or blood pressure.

Then I heard: "Did the doctors tell you it (the film or book) wasone of the north?" (especially emphasizing the north)

The "north," I think, represents the challenges we go through in order to learn. We encounter "cold" conditions, that is, lack of love. I got this idea from Black Elk. The "film or book" is the great theater of life on the physical plane. Being drunk is like the wine of the harlot, representing the fury, anger, aggressiveness, violence, etc. The rental cars are the temporary "vehicles," or belief patterns that take is down the road of life. "John" is a word related to "YHWH," and the tetragrammation, the Word becoming flesh, the Logos/son, or each person. His wife would be the feminine Deity or aspect. In the dream, she points out the violation or sin of keeping the vehicle too long. This is like Kali representing karma. John, as the Father Deity aspect, and rational thought, knows the sin will be forgiven. The "credit card" also represents karma. In the dream, it was the power I needed. This seems to be saying that karma itself is some kind of power, an ability to commit violations or mistakes of missing the mark, and somehow pay for them later, or be forgiven them. (like the "bankruptcy" message on the 5th).

Dear Mr. Farthing,

Thank you for your letter of 2 June, and for your interest.

You do have my permission to use the contents of all my communications, including the dream material, with anyone you wish.

According to the Tantric book, the yantra type designs represent the expansion of consciousness from the single point, and the path back in where one experiences the bliss of joining with the Light beyond all colors. The Sri Yantra shows this path inward as chakra levels in nine steps. The four T-shapes are gates. The star, formed by the nine interlaced triangles represent the Mother and Father Deities. I think this may also represent the Logos, or Man as the Son engendered by the Deities.

As I understand it from Blavatsky's writings, the Male Deity calls forth the ideal conception, (the Word) the Female Deity, the Sakti, is the vehan or vehicle which produces the creation. Other expressions of this, she claimed, were Ezekiel's wagon, Noah's Ark, and the four arms plus the head of all the Hindu Deities.

My feeling is that our collective unconscious is connected to higher consciousness, and that dream/myth symbols are the language used by higher consciousness to communicate with us. The archetypal images would seem to be fundamental, universal symbols. The question is, why are these symbols appearing in crops and lake beds? There have been some 5,000 crop patterns in some  30 countries. As far as we know, this is unprecedented in history. The Oregon lake bed pattern alone is astounding. There were 13.3 miles of lines grooved evenly to a depth of about three inches. Experts say it would cost about $100,000 to just survey something of that size. Yet, when it was investigated closely, there was not a single footprint or tire mark in the area. Many crop circle researchers believe the formations are being produced by an intelligence of a very high order.

The crop patterns are often accompanied by strange lights. This has been recorded on video tape several times. That brings to mind other questions. Why are UFO's reported so often? This started about 1945. Some think they did appear in the past, but there are few records of it. In 1990 alone, some 4,500 UFO sightings were reported worldwide. Chances are, there were many more non-reported. Increasingly, people report that they have been abducted by E.T.'s. In a number of cases, the UFO's seem to be imparting a symbol by their shape or movements. For example, near a crop formation in 1993 a number of people reported lights in the sky moving in two oppositely rotating circles. Alice Bailey wrote of this symbol years ago. A correspondent in New York reported recurring dreams of this same image. The question is, are these craft from another planet, or another means of communication from other dimensional consciousness?

Other questions arise. There has been a tremendous increase of channeling, or mediumship in recent years. To a startling degree, these sources agree that there is a very great change coming to the earth before the end of this century. Respected prophets, such as Nostradamus and Edgar Casey predicted great events in our time. My own path has led to the same conclusions, although I was skeptical. This path seems to be different than others. It's all about dreams, my own and those of others, and coincidences or synchronicities that occurred constantly for four years. Although clairvoyance may play a part, that term is not fully representative of the phenomenon.

I tend to agree that if something is to happen, it will happen regardless of our actions. But, I am not entirely sure of this. Some think that we only have the opportunity to make a big change at this time, and that if we miss it, we will have to wait for some thousands of years for another opportunity.

In any case, my reasoning goes like this. If a message is coming to us from higher consciousness, or even from just our own unconscious, it would seem appropriate to attempt to understand the message. This may prove to be a lot of work, and in the end, one's efforts may prove fruitless, or even disastrous. On the other hand, it may prove important and positive, perhaps incredibly so. I've decided to take the risk, and I hope to link up with others who chose to do so.

Thank you for informing me about the Theosophical concept of earth's life being at the 3 1/2 stage out of 7. This is very significant to me. I would like to know where this is explained in the Theosophical books. I'll explain briefly how the idea came to me.

In late 1992, I read Joseph Campbell's book The Inner Reaches Of Outer Space. In one part of the book, he explained that the seven chakra levels are an elementary idea found in various forms worldwide. The critical level is at 31/2, the point between the 3rd and 4th chakras. He gave a number of examples, such as:

1. In an ancient Egyptian depiction, there are seven nodal points along the pole that supports the balance beam,where the deceased's heart is weighed against a featherin the judgment scene. The "swallower" beast's snoutcuts across the pole between the third and fourth nodalpoints. The judgment seat is also at that point.If one has not reached the 4th-heart chakra level,he is swallowed by the beast, (and reincarnates) otherwise he ascends to higher levels.

2. In the Navajo sand painting called "The Pollen Path," footprints show the path along a cornstalk in an enclosure, where they pass seven points. At the fourth point, a bolt of lightning comes down from above.

3. An ancient Chinese serpent is coiled into exactly 3 1/2 turns.

4. 35 years in the life of a man of three score yearsand ten. (70) This was the approximate age of Jesus at death/resurrection, and the Buddha when awakened.

At the time I read about this, I happened to be reading Revelation for the first time. I have never been a Christian, but some coincidences encouraged me to read it. Several of my dreams and experiences seemed to be related to the Barbury Castle pictogram, which seems to represent the Trinity. The square footage of the circles (31,680) matched a number that was associated with Jesus by the early Christians. I had a dream of 12 interlocking circles in a ring with entities standing in them.

From another dream, I drew a 12-pointed star formed by four overlapping triangles. A coincidence suggested that the circles and star went together. I later read that this shape is called "The New Jerusalem Plan," based on the vision of St. John in Revelation 21. It has been found by dowsing in crop circles and megalithic sites, such as Stonehenge and Aveburry. It is said to represent the order of the heavens made apparent on earth. Right after reading the Campbell book, I happened to read Revelation 11, where the two trees stand up after 3 1/2 days. I had been having constant coincidences, so I couldn't help thinking that this might be related to the chakra levels.

The two trees lay dead for 3 1/2 days and then stand up in Revelation 11:11. This struck me as another coincidence, because I had a previous coincidence with a group called the "Solara 11:11." A woman who has taken the name "Solara" claims she has had a "direct recall" of unconscious memories. She said that an "11:11 Doorway" opened in the belt of Orion on January 11, 1992, and humanity has the opportunity to pass through into a new reality.

Some weeks later, I was writing to a dream network correspondent, Pablo, about this concept. Suddenly, I recalled that he had sent a dream earlier in the year, where "7" was mentioned. I found my copy of the dream:

"Krishnamurti and I were keeping vigil over a deceased person. He comments how after 35 years, other 7 ofpsychological liberation followed. The housekeepercomplains about her lack of money."

I was astounded, because this seemed to be the 35 years out of the life of a man of three score years and ten. Keeping vigil over the deceased person was like the two trees laying dead in Revelation 11 for 3 1/2 days. Krishnamurti is named after Lord Krishna, the original Trinity figure. Then, I noticed the date of Pablo's dream, January 11, 1992, the exact date Solara said the 11:11 Doorway opened! In Pablo's next dream, he was told that the earth was about to undergo it's shift.

Pablo did not know about the 3 1/2 implacations, and had never heard of the Solara material. He also did not believe in any big earth change.

Some weeks later, I read through a list of dream-voice messages that I recorded by number. One of them said, "Trinity (saw 11:2)" I looked up Revelation 11:2. St. John was told that the holy city would be trampled upon for 42 months. Another of my dream-voice messages said, "The children were born in the sign of 42." This was 35 messages after the other one. I realized then that 42 months is 3 1/2 years. This also appears in Rev.13:5.

1260 days is mentioned in Rev.11:3 and 12:6. This seems to be 3 1/2 years on the Jewish calendar of 30 day months, or 3 1/2 times around the zodiacal signs.

I happened to come across a copy of a letter from scientist J.J. Hurtak. He claims that spiritual beings visited him in 1973 and told him that a great change was coming. At the bottom of the letter, he wrote, "Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 will come to pass." I read Daniel 12 and came to the part (12:7) where the spirit on the water tells him when the end time will come:

"...for a time, two times, and a half a time."

This seemed to be 1+2+ 1/2 = 3 1/2! Revelation 12:14 says almost the same thing.

I received a letter from Pablo. He wrote an interpretation of James 2:13 - "For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment." Pablo suggests this has the meaning - "To one who does not practice compassion, karma shall be relentless. But compassion proves to be stronger even than karma." I went on to read James 5:17, where he speaks about the story in 1 Kings:

"Elijah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth.Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit."

Luke 4:25 tells the same story.

As I read more of Revelation, I noted some guesses as to the possible meanings, based on other material. The "harlot" in Rev.17, I felt, might be the feminine Deity aspect in our time cycle. She is seated upon many waters, which are peoples and nations. The kings of the earth have committed fornication with the harlot, and have become drunk on her wine. Dreams indicate that the duality bond in the Trinity is symbolized often as sex or marriage. It came to me that the harlot meant that we had to "pay" for this "sex," meaning karma or judgment. This seemed to fit the last part of Pablo's dream - "The housekeeper complains about her lack of money." I had previously had a dream where I planned to use a charge card to find my way back to my large family. It seemed to hint at karma, a debt to be paid later. In the dream, we had traveled to a city to wash our clothing. I found several references in the Bible about keeping one's garments clean, or similar concepts. For example, Isaiah 4:4 - ". . . when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning."

Being drunk on the wine of the harlot seemed to represent the alteration of consciousness where we experience anger and fury.

It struck me that the beast that is thrown down may be the "swallower." I went on to read Rev.17:11 - "As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to perdition."

All this seemed to fit together well. Revelation seemed to be saying that humanity was in a path up the chakras, and there would be a great change when humanity, en masse, made the leap to the heart chakra. There would no longer be a need for the swallower beast, because no one would be in the lower three chakras after that time. The karma/judgment cycle would be ended.

By March 1993, I felt I had enough material to write an essay on the subject. As I was writing the outline, I received a dream-voice message: "Three and a half days is the mid-point of a seven day week."

Jumping ahead a little in my story here, I had a coincidence concerning this about five months later. A friend at work, John, told me that his wife had the feeling for several days that they should read Matthew 24. Then, a relative called and said she had the feeling to read Matthew 24. John read it, and felt it might be about Matthew 24:15, the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place. John feels that this may refer to the churches now, that they are on the wrong path.

I read the verse when I arrived home. A footnote refers to Daniel 9:27, which I then read:

"And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."

This seemed to confirm my dream-voice message, that 3 1/2 days of the 7 day week was another cycle symbol. The desolator would seem to be the harlot, meaning the karma/judgment cycle.

While I was preparing my essay in March 1993, I happened to find The Tantric Way. Kali seemed to have the same meaning as the harlot of Revelation. She is depicted as "seated upon" a reclining, fornicating couple. The male wears a crown, as a "king of the earth." I believe this refers to our higher potentials that will be reached at the heart chakra level.

Rev.3:11 advises to let no one seize your crown. In Rev.17:17 we give over our "royal power to the beast." In Rev.21:24 the kings of the earth bring their glory into the New Jerusalem.

Kali holds scissors, which seems to be the cutting or dividing force. The harlot has Babylon written on her forehead, which seems to be a symbol of division. Kali raises feelings of "tamasisk," feelings of fury. Kali wears a girdle of severed human hands. As the instruments of our works, this symbolizes the action of karma.

Then I found the Sri Yantra, which I explained in the previous communication. As I mentioned, the outer part of the star represents the fourth chakra. This coincided with the essay I was writing. Solara said that we could help key the great change by forming star mandalas of overlapping triangles. The Sri Yantra star is such a mandala.

I hope you see that this experience of mine is a bit unusual. There are many possible explanations, of course. That is one reason I am trying to contact others who are more knowledgeable.

This idea of the 3 1/2 symbolism seems to be shown in various forms that give durations which are metaphorical. The same could be true of the Kali-Yuga. Joseph Campbell explained that 432 is a cycle of time number found worldwide, sometimes with some zeros with it, sometimes doubled. 432,000 is one such number found in the east, and was the time given in the Babylonian system between the creation and the great flood, during which time 10 kings reigned. Some scholars believe this is portrayed in the Bible by the 10 patriarchs between Adam Noah. The total years up to the Ark landing was 1656. This calculates to 86,400 weeks which is double 43,200, a clear reference to the cycle number according to Mr. Campbell.

He also told how the number was found in Icelandic Eddas. At the end of a great cycle, 800 divine warriors will come out of each of the 540 doors of Valhalla. (800 x 540 = 432,000)

He also told how the number is found in two natural clocks, one human-internal and one cosmic. The first is the beating of the heart in a well-conditioned person, of 60 times per minute.

In one 24 hour day, this calculates to 86,400; in half a day, 43,200. The cosmic clock is the earth's axis wobble that causes the precession of the equinoxes. The 25,920 years, divided by the ancient "soss" used in calculations (60) gives the number 432.

I had a coincidence about this. I read in Dr. Hurtak's book, The Keys Of Enoch, that there are 72 Divine Names used as codes in creating realities. I had found the number 360 to be important, such as in Rev.11:3, (1260/360=3 1/2) and three circles, as in the Barbury Castle pictogram, times 360 degrees each being 1080, a number associated with dowsable earth energies, and the number of names (108) of the Goddess in India.

Also, 108 x 4 = 432. One night at work the numbers 360 and 72 kept coming into my mind over and over. I stopped to multiply-

72 x 360 = 25,920. It's the cosmic cycle number!

Joseph Campbell speculated that a warring cycle of time started about 4,320 years ago, when a large nation attacked another for the first time. (Sargon I of Akkad, now southern Iraq) The horrific events of the 20th century, he said, may equate to the apocalypse. A symbol of changes ahead is the view of the earth from space, as a single globe with no borders.

Also interesting, if the 12 circles of the New Jerusalem Plan are multiplied by 360 degrees each, the number 4,320 comes up again.

So the questions go on. Will the Kali-Yuga end many years in the future, or could it be upon us now?

I am enclosing a few items of interest. A star of David type crop pattern appeared at Arras Hill last summer. (A) The triangles were displaced from a symmetrical position. This is the case also with the two primary triangles in the Sri Yantra design. Solara depicts the 11:11 Doorway opening as two V-shapes, one inverted, opening in a diamond shape. This, along with the fact that the fourth/heart chakra has a star of David type design, caused me to think the Arras Hill formation may represent this. I happened to read a fictional book called Valis, around the time I read of the formation. The author, Philip K. Dick, apparently had some real experiences. In the book, published in 1981, he tells of being bombarded by "information." It has many similarities to my experience. He is told that we are near the end of the Age of Iron and about to enter the Age of Gold. (The Kali-Yuga is the Age of Iron.)

He tells of seeing through a dimensional doorway. The ratio of the sides of the doorway is 1:618034. (B) This was the same number, called "The Golden Ratio," found in the Arras Hill formation! (see A)

A T-Tau like pattern appeared at Charley Knoll last year. I was reminded of Mayan depictions of the Tau, with two trees and a flower atop the cross arm. A researcher showed that a reversed five-pointed star is revealed in the geometry of the Charley Knoll design. (C) One writer pointed out that it might be related to the seven chakras, which was also my feeling.

As usual, a coincidence occurred. I happened to read the first pages of The Secret Doctrine (vol. 1) after reading about the Charley Knoll formation. On pages 4 and 5, Blavatsky shows a number of ancient glyphs, most all of which have appeared as crop patterns in some form. Three of them seem to be within the Charley Knoll pattern. The reversed five-pointed star represents the Kali Yuga. Could the Charley Knoll pattern be suggesting that the Kali Yuga involves the lower three chakras?

I hope I have stimulated your interest a bit more concerning these issues. There are many opinions being expressed about the crop formations. No one is fully competent to pass opinions on these matters, certainly not myself. But, I think we can all express our opinions, realizing we are not talking in absolute certainties. My feeling is that we are intended to express our views, and communicate, even argue, about them. This has been going on throughout history, but big changes in worldview seem to be looming on the horizon. So often in the past, it seems, aggressive, self-serving individuals and groups have taken over religious ideas and used them for their own purposes to dominate everyone.

This raises the question - is it "spiritually correct" to maintain modesty and humility, to not express an opinion, to do nothing, to let others take it where they will without objection?

Or is it better to jump in and argue for what we believe to be true? Can our actions help reverse the historical trend?

As I see it, the messages of the crop phenomena and dreams are more attuned to the Perennial religions, mystery schools, and The Secret Doctrine, rather than conventional interpretations in western religions. My hope in contacting you was to spark interest among Theosophists in the events now occurring. I would like to see opinions from the perspective of those well versed in Theosophy. I am a rank beginner in this field.

I hope you do become interested, and that we will continue corresponding. The opportunity has opened for me to publish a book about my material. It is in progress now. If you have any information about the 3 1/2 cycle, or any of the other subjects, it could prove helpful to me in writing the book. If you feel it is worthwhile, your input would be appreciated.

I send my fond regards to you and yours -

Joe Mason

September 10, 1994

Dear Roberta,

I felt honored by your phone call. In contemplating our conversation, I thought of a few other things I might have said.  So, I decided to put them in a letter. In order to avoid misunderstandings, I'll start by explaining how I think about things.

As you know, I have been on a unique, strange path involving dreams and coincidences, and their apparent connection to myths/ religions, which has evolved into extensive theories about a great earth change. I have no way of knowing absolutely if any of my theories are true, but I have extensive evidence of a certain kind, that seems to support the parts of the theory. To me, one of the most powerfully convincing parts of the material is from dreams, especially those of other people who knew nothing about the theory. Your dream of the Seven Sisters, is just one example. The theory has evolved into a clearer meaning since I sent you the big packet in 1992. The crop patterns have clearly followed with similar messages, in my opinion. This has further confirmed the claim I made in my DNJ article, that dreams are predictive of crop patterns.

There are all kinds of possible explanations about these strange things. For example, it may be that such things happen periodically, especially near the end of a millennium. Many have been disappointed in the past, when no great change occurred, and they appeared foolish to others. I, and the many others who are forecasting such a change, may be in the same boat. Personally, I have set such fears aside, and chose to just communicate my findings to interested others. It could be that the messages have always been valid, that there is always a potential to make a big change, but us humans are just not ready to accept the idea and bring it into manifestation.

For my part, I try to avoid telling others what they should do. I have enough trouble with my own choices, and since I am not entirely sure of my own theories, I cannot judge the choices of others. My path also tells me the same advice you once told me. These things have their own course, and we cannot force them.

I'll give you an interesting example. When I read about the Sri Yantra pattern that appeared in the dry lake bed in Oregon, I tried to find a picture of it, thinking it might relate to my material. I became frustrated in my attempts to find it, and eventually gave up. About a year later, I found it by accident, and then it fit in so well. As I mentioned in a previous letter, I had drawn the central star shape in 1990, based on my 9 chits in a diamond arrangement. I had drawn my star the day before the story about the lake bed pattern was released on the news services. At the time I discovered all this, I was writing an essay about humanity's leap to the heart chakra. Coincidentally, the outer part of the star represents the heart chakra. The point here is, that the events seemed to be planned, so they would coincide in a more meaningful way. When I tried to force it, I just became frustrated. When I forgot about it, things just came about naturally, as if it was planned.

So, I have learned a little better to just let things take their course. My feeling is that we are all on our unique paths that will wind up at the same point at the end. The only advice I feel like giving is to not fear, and follow your own bliss, as Mr. Campbell said.

However, I feel it's okay to express my own feelings about things, and tell how I would handle various matters. But, I do not judge others wrong if they chose a different course. It is probably entirely right for them.

With this said, I'll spout off about some of my way of thinking. The change involves a wonderful unity, after a period of stress. The events we are seeing that are so horrific, I think, are part of the stress involved. Dreams and other things have given clues as to the reason for the stress, but it's too long to explain here. It is for a reason, but the individuals who suffer death, such as those in Africa, are not extinguished.

They just shed their body-garments, and moved on to a better place. The apparent cruelty is not as extreme as we see it.

This is related to the concept of maya, that our reality is somewhat of an illusion. Dreams seem to indicate this as a stage play, or movie. So, the stressful things we are seeing are similar to watching a movie, where we are entirely involved, and experience many emotions in a learning experience. But it is not ultimate reality, and we are just seeing a certain projected part of a larger whole.

The emotions you expressed of extreme pity for those suffering, are exactly the right ones, I do believe. It shows you are reaching the heart chakra, where we have love and compassion. The events, I think, are for exactly for this purpose, at least partially. Remember, Mr. Campbell said this was one reason or meaning of Jesus dieing on the cross, to evoke compassion in people. My dream voice told me that such pitiful events had this purpose. In Ezekiel 9, six slayers and a man clothed in linen, come out of the north upper gate. The man clothed in linen marks the foreheads of those "who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed..." Everyone else is slain by the six slayers. I believe this is related to your dream of the Seven Sisters. Six stars of the Pleiades are readily visible, the Seventh is the Lost Pleiad. This is related to the Seventh Ray on the Seventh Day. In other words, this is part of the "Judgment." In the Egyptian judgement hall, one's heart is weighed against a feather. The idea is, that if one has reached the heart chakra of love and compassion, he or she moves on up the ladder. Otherwise, you get swollowed, meaning you must be reborn and try again. The "slaying" is a metaphore of being changed by these processes here. You die and are reborn until you reach the heart chakra level. These death/rebirths, or babtisms, or major changes, happen as we live here and now.

We are nearing the end of this whole cycle, the Kali Yuga.

Kali wears a girdle of human hands, symbolizing karma, which is the same as the Biblical "judgment." The "harlot" of Rev.17 has the same meaning. It's all coming to a head, so to speak, at this time. The karma/judgment cycle will be finished, and we will begin a new cycle. Every tear will be wiped from our eyes.

The "beast" in Revelation is the Swallower of the Egyptian myth, indicating the death/rebirth involved below the heart chakra. He is "an eighth, but belongs to the seven, and goes to perdition."

His snout cuts across the balance beam pole between the third and fourth chakra points. (3« out of 7) He is thrown down, indicating that the karma/judgment cycle is over. There will be no need for karma in the next cycle, we will all be acting from our own heart center, and will not commit violations.

I am telling you this in an attempt to alleviate some of the stress you are feeling about the events occurring. Such things still tug at my heart strings, but I know it is for a purpose, and comes from Divine Love. We are just not aware of it. We are actors lost in our own play.

When we first made contact, and my article was published, I thought we would keep in close touch, and introduce the possibility that a great change may be coming, and that dreams and crop patterns were related. You already seemed to be on a similar course, as indicated by the publication of Bobbie Bowden's dream, and your co-project of gathering "big dreams."

[skip]

I don't mean to be critical, I am just expressing things from my viewpoint. If I am basically right about this big change, and the dream involvement, then it has such a huge magnitude of importance, everything else is overshadowed. I think it is basically true, and will come about in the not too distant future. I want to do the right thing by it, always keeping in mind that my efforts are for the benefit of all, and not for personal, egocentric gain. At the same time, it would be nice to be the first one to make claims that prove later to be true, especially in a publication. But, I know this is ego related, and must not be my main thrust. The thrust is to be a transcriber-collector of the messages, and make an attempt to communicate them, not for my benefit, but for the overall good.

We have never talked about it, but it seems to me you are limited to a degree in what you can present in DNJ. You couldn't and shouldn't turn it into a UFO, crop circle, or earth change magazine. You would probably loose subscribers if you did so.

There are other magazines devoted to those subjects. But you could show, as you have done, some of the possible connections of these subjects to dreams.

[skip]

Recently, I sent in my renewal subscription to the Center for Crop Circle Studies. I attached a letter, giving some of my dream-coincidence theory. It was mostly about my more recent findings. The CCCS secretary, Pat Palgrave-Moore, wrote back with a note, saying that she had passed the letter on to the editor of "The Circular," for possible publication. If they do publish it, this will be a big breakthrough for me. The letter explained a little about the 3 1/2 theory, and the end of the Kali Yuga, and how the crop patterns of late, seem to support the idea.

If you wish, I will send you a copy of the letter. It could be revised into a good article for DNJ about my recent findings.

It's pretty fantastic, unbelievable, yet dreams and crop patterns seem to support it.

There has been some interesting developments in the 1994 crop patterns. Here is a quote from the "Susex Circular" #32, that I received two weeks ago:

...a crop formation appeared alongside another stretch of the Tour de France elsewhere in the South, depicting a perfect representation of a bicycle..! For this alone, many laugh it off as man-made, but if the circlemakers can give us other recognizable symbols such as Mandelbrots and snails, why not bikes?"

Remember in my DNJ article, I mentioned the bicycle symbol.

In a letter I wrote to you later, I mentioned the Tour de France and the 7-11 symbolism. I saw it as possibly related to the two cycle numbers, 25,920 (the earth axis wobble - 2+5=7, and 9+2=11)

and the 1656 years between Adam and Noah. (1+6=7, and 5+6=11) I thought it might be related to your dream of the Seven Sisters, with the total of 11 in the (Adamic) family. As usual, it seemed somewhat silly at the time. Well, it seems to be confirmed by this recent event.

I am enclosing a page from the same "Sussex Circular" with some of the 1994 crop patterns. The most interesting to me is the Spider Web. Remember, in the packet I sent you, was an essay on "Spiders and Weaving." In part, this was related to the Hopi creation myth of Spider Grandmother, and that she eventually teaches us how to weave. I told of coincidences, such as finding that "Tantra" in Sanskrit means "to weave."

It's another bit of weight that dreams are predictive of crop patterns.

I hope a time will come when we can communicate more and find a way to present the dream connection to the crop patterns and the message of the earth change. Remember, my dream voice one said, "The Keys to the Kingdom, He said, are dreams." More recently, a dream suggested that dreams are like the Rossetta Stone of the earth change messages. Without them, the other symbols appear like unknown hyroglyphs, no more than chicken tracks that we can only guess at. The "stone" is related to the Peter, or Petra rock, inscriptions on stone tablets, the hyrophants. "Petra" meant "rock," but also meant "interpretations" in Chaldiac and Phonecian.

In any case, I don't fret about things. I am getting my views out there in the form of a book, which is keeping me quite busy, by the way. I am confindent that I will find other publications who will print my articles. Ones about the earth change are probably more appropriate to the material I write about. I am not worried about it at all. The "right thing" for me to do, is make the attempt to get the message out there. Meanwhile, I think you are doing very important work in your own right, and I hope you keep at it.

Keep in touch, and let me know if any of my "spouting off" ideas are appealing.

Best wishes and fond regards,

Joe Mason

Dear Catherine,

My dear, you have no idea what your letters do for me. They send me diving back into materials I have collected over the last five years like Scrooge McDuck diving into his money pile.

[skip]

Certain clues have popped up in a variety of ways that suggest some insights. It's not easy to explain briefly, but I'll try. Humanity, en masse, seems to be the Demiurge that is creating the reality here. We have been given the power to create the events in our lives, and the collective history by our thoughts and beliefs. (or myths) It can be negative or positive. Our own thoughts help form the energy-web patterns that create the events. In the cycle of time we do this mostly on the "unconscious" level, that is, we are in the dark as to what is really going on. Symbols for this include being underground or under water, and being "asleep," or "dead."

In the lower chakras, we are dealing with "animal instincts," that is, survival, procreation and the will to succeed. In myths, this shows up in one form as figures like Pan and the Minotaur, with lower body parts of an animal.

The attainment of the heart chakra level is said to represent the "virgin birth" of the "spiritual man" out of the "animal man." (that's "man" as in "mankind," which includes women) This is where we truly become "human." We have overcome the animal nature, or negative influence of the lower instincts. (the lower chakras can also have a positive influence, as can animal instincts) When negatively influenced by the lower nature, we tend to react to things with anger/fury and violence. We try to force others to be, or believe, like us. One who has reached the heart chakra level has transmuted the warring attributes, and reacts with understanding and loving compassion. This cuts the knot of circular cycles of negativity.

Another form of this in symbols is that we are "children" in "school." Another is that we are in a "hospital" attended by "doctors and nurses." In terms of spiders, the negative side is shown by the Black Widow, which is a form of Kali. So, our own thinking/beliefs are much involved in the "internet."

Another thing is going on here in the "unconscious" creation cycle. The higher consciousness in the Timeless Zone works with us in the experience. On the individual level, it is the Soul, Oversoul, The Self, Brahman, Overself, Higher Self, Divine Ka/Double, etc. Negative thinking/beliefs lead to experiences that purge or prune them out, directed by the Higher Self. This is shown in various ways, such as the descent into, and return from, the underworld, death/rebirth/baptism, (by water or fire)

washing/cleaning our garments or bodies, cleaning the "cluttered rooms" of our "house,"

etc. Another form is symbolized as being puppets on strings or having the "gods" on Olympus playing with us like toys. An old interpretation of this is "karma" or "judgment."

In this regard, we feel "exposed," like when we stand naked before others, or when they see our cluttered rooms.

This seeming negative experience is part of the Great Plan, and is essential in our spiritual growth, a learning through adversities or challenges. We have elected to grow through this experience, although we have also chosen to "forget" what it was all about, until the time of the "awakening," where we will "remember."

When humanity makes the great leap, the memories will come back, and we will remember the "covenant" that was made long ago. The "unconscious creation" stage will be completed, and we will then be conscious co-creators. This is a major function of the "schooling" here. We take this into new creations beyond the earth plane. In other words, we will be in-step with our Higher Selves, and the Higher Creation. One symbol for this is the Lion King. We give over our "royal power" to the "beast" in the cycle, (Rev. 17:17) but eventually become the "Kings of the Earth," who are the "Lamp," bringing our glory into the New Jerusalem. (Rev. 21:23-25)

The New Jerusalem is said to represent "the order of the Heavens made apparent on earth." Jesus seems to have expressed it as the "Kingdom." In the Coptic Gospel of Thomas, he said that the Kingdom is spread upon the earth, but men do not see it.

[skip]

I wrote several letters over a period of a few weeks in November, one of which was the one to you. Along the way, coincidences sprang up concerning the Greek/Roman myths, especially regarding Apollo and Artemis. Now, I am not all that familiar with these myths; you seem to know more about them than I do. I happened to be reading up on them at the time in a little book by Edith Hamilton.

I realized sometime later, that these things actually started some weeks before, when a young man, named Brad, told me a story. He's a very handsome 19-year old, who was working with my son on a construction job. He was undergoing a stressful break up with the girlfriend he was living with. He said the name "Agamemnon" kept coming into his mind over and over one day at work. He picked up a large rock and crashed it down on a frog, then felt bad about it. He didn't know why he did it.

I seemed to remember the name, but I couldn't recall anything about it. He couldn't either, but was sure he had learned about it in high school. I thought it might be related to "Armageddon," and was surprised to learn that Agamemnon was the leader of the Greeks in the battle of Troy.

I wrote a long letter to Paul Rydeen in response to a previous letter. He had mentioned dreams with "twin" themes, so I listed some ideas about twins, one of which was Apollo and Artemis. (Castor and Pollux was another) I mentioned the similarity to your dreams.

I also told of a dream-coincidence, which I will repeat here.

I dreamed of seeing a giant, shadowy figure in the sky that looked somewhat like Jesus.

The lower half of his body was missing, as if it had been torn off. Then I saw that he was tearing off pieces and sprinkling them on the earth, like pepper.

Later, Josephine Goodman sent a dream of an infant in bed in a dark bedroom. The lower part of his body was missing and a light was shining from his head like a flashlight looking around the room. An older boy came in with a cart and put the infant in it, then pushed him through the rooms of the house where a party was going on. The adult guests were not surprised, they knew all about the baby.

Still later, Steve O'Neil sent a dream where he saw deer walking in the snow in the forest, with wolves chewing at their hindquarters. The deer did not resist or run, they just seemed to accept it. The last thing he remembered was a deer walking off on its two front legs, with its entire hindquarters missing. The ideas about the chakra levels had come somewhat prior to this time, so my guess was that this "lower part missing" was related to the lower chakras and getting rid of the negative part of them.

Not long after this I was looking up a name in a small dictionary-like book about myths. I happened to read another one as my eyes fell on it as I leafed through the pages. It's the first time I learned anything about Artemis. It was the story about when the hunter, Actaeon, came upon Artemis in the woods while she was bathing, and he saw her naked.

She changed him into a stag, his heart became a deer's heart, and he felt fear for the first time. His own faithful hounds chased him down and killed him.

I felt this was coincident with Steve's dream. To me, the mythical story seemed to be about how one's negative- aggressive instincts are pruned out through resulting events by higher consciousness. Being "killed" often seems to be a metaphor for being changed. (some dreams of suicide seem to represent a self-willed change)

After writing to Paul, I wrote a letter to Madelon Rose Logue. We had collaborated on a story about Santa Claus which came out in her newsletter a few weeks later. She also put in a short letter from me and a Seth communication from 1972. It all fit together really well. Most of the story is based on real dreams that I have collected. I am enclosing a copy. (H)

Madelon's newsletter is called "The Black Sheep," so I was inspired to write about the symbolism of the mouse, as the aspect of the Divine within each person. In response to one of her comments, I also wrote a little about the symbolism of Easter, as a time of balance when the full moon and setting sun can be seen at the same time around the autumnal equinox. It's related to "death/rebirth" symbolism in the sense of a change or transformation.

Coincidental events happened at work, as my workmates were having trouble catching a mouse. Then I read that Apollo was called "The Sminthian," the Mouse-god, in the Iliad. I have known for a long time that Apollo is associated with the sun, but only recently read more about Artemis and her moon connection.

Then I wrote the letter to you where I mentioned Apollo and Artemis again as related to other symbols.

Then I responded to a letter from Josephine from many months before. She told of a coincidence involving my previous letter where I mentioned the symbolism of "Aladdin"

and the "Jini," which I had misspelled. I am enclosing that part of her letter. (I)

In responding to Josephine's letter, I told of other dreams with symbols similar to her "Jini" dream. Suddenly I recalled one from several years prior that Josephine had sent as part of her own, small dream network. My Scrooge McDuck-self took a plunge back into my pile of dreams. And, oh boy! Did it ever fit in. It was sent by a woman, named Sue, who only sent a few dreams, then dropped out of the network. I am enclosing a copy of Sue's "Queen Diana" dream. (J)

I thought of the dream because some symbols were similar to Josephine's "Jini" dream, such a hallways, rooms, and the woman in disguise who seems to be a higher being. In January 1992, another dreamer in the network, Pablo, sent a dream of the Virgin coming to earth in disguise to help a woman.

As I reread Sue's dream, other connections came. Josephine and I had discussed the idea of the world being a stage play, and that we might get some insights from the "back stage" planning from dreams.

I remember making some speculations about this dream back in early 1992. I had just watched a music video some months before of Whitney Housten singing "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." It was full of dream/myth symbols. At one point, Whitney splits into three women, who are obviously The Supremes. Well, Diana Ross was the lead singer of The Supremes, and that is quite a suggestive name in the context of Sue's dream. I felt that it was related to my "Y" dream and to myths of the Triple Goddess, which I knew very little about at the time.

Then, the BIG one hit me. "Diana" is the Roman name for Artemis! I had just learned of her "Triple Goddess" symbolism. Sue's dream especially fit well with Artemis in the world (on stage) and her "Hecate" aspect in the Underworld, with its various rivers. She is the Goddess of the Crossways. I reread some of Hamilton's book, and a quotation really stood out:

"Hecate of hell, Mighty to shatter every stubborn thing.
Hark! Hark! Her hounds are baying through the town.
Were three roads meet, there she is standing."

In my mind, this connects directly with my "Y" dream and some other symbols. In Black Elk's great vision, the Blue Man stands in flames in the water where three streams meet. He battles and defeats the horse riders from all the four quarters, until Black Elk strikes him in the heart with a lightning-tipped spear, which transforms him into a harmless turtle. And then the earth grows green again.

In Nordic myths, the Triple Fountain is the source of all life. Armageddon is near a place where the road branches into two roads.

As if to confirm the "Artemis" connection, Sue's next dream is "The Fawn On The Bridge." In the same packet of dreams that Josephine sent, was a dream from Pablo about a "lost Bambi." Artemis/Diana is the Lady of Wild Things, Huntsman-in-chief to the gods. She was careful to preserve the young; "the protectress of dewy youth." All wild animals are sacred to her; but especially the deer.

The Hecate aspect of Artemis seems to be similar to Kali and the Harlot. This may appear evil to us, but it seems to represent the function of seemingly negative experiences, or adversities, which challenge us to change and move in a positive direction. I picture this as being akin symbolically to a strict school teacher who slaps our hands when we misbehave. (tough-love)

So, my little project of "catching up on the mail" proved to be a fruitful venture, as I read parts of Hamilton's book along the way. I mostly looked up references to Apollo and Artemis, but there were other things that clicked well.

A few things related to the battle of Troy. The Greek fleet was delayed in its voyage to Troy because of the blowing of the north wind. The gods spoke to the soothsayer, Calchas, saying that Artemis was angry because a hare and her young had been slain by the Greeks. The only way to appease her and calm the wind was by sacrificing a royal maiden, Iphigenia, the eldest daughter of the Commander in Chief, Agamemnon.

Oh boy! There's Brad's weird experience!

I still haven't read the full story about the battle of Troy, so I'm expecting to find more clues there. But a related story struck me as significant, called "The House of Atreus."

It became an ill-fated house because of the misdeeds of an ancestor, Tantalus.

I tend to "read" such stories with the possibility in mind that it carries clues about the cycle of time and the change. This one fit pretty well.

Tragedy after tragedy plagued the progeny of Tantalus, including King Atreus. Apollo and Artemis played a part at one point, killing the seven daughters and seven sons of Niobe with their arrows, because she wanted to be worshiped in place of their mother, Leto.

The original misdeed of Tantalus involved cannibalism, as did the misdeed of Atreus.

Agamemnon was the son of Atreus along with his brother, Menelaus, the husband of Helen. Menelause recovered Helen after the Troy battle, and lived happily, but Agamemnon was not so fortunate. Not only did he have to sacrifice his daughter to go to Troy, but he was killed in revenge by his wife, Clytemhestra, immediately on his return home. In the Odyssey Odysseus encountered ghosts in his descent into Hades. The most pitiful of all was Agamemnon.

The end of the cycle of the doomed House of Atreus was with Agamemnon's son, Orestes. He was supported by his sister, Electra. (the sacrificed Iphigenia was their sister) Orestes was caught in a "no-win" situation. His noble duty was to avenge the murder of his father, but killing his own mother was also a misdeed of the highest order.

In his agony of doubt, he traveled to Delphi to seek advice from the oracle. Apollo spoke to him, advising to atone death by death. So, he killed his mother and her lover.

Afterwards, Orestes suffered terribly, and was constantly surrounded by the Furies in his wanderings. They appeared only to him as black women with snake-hair, eyes dripping blood. But something happened within him that had not happened before among the cursed house. He realized that he had also been taught by his misery, and that there was no crime beyond atonement. Even he could be made clean again.

Apollo sent him to Athens to plead his case before Athena. Those who desire to be purified cannot be refused. Apollo appeared beside him and admitted responsibility, because of his advise at Delphi. The Erinyes, the Furies, had plagued Orestes with their demands for vengeance, yet he reacted calmly. Orestes admitted his own responsibility, but also declared that he had been cleansed of his guilt. These were the words that had never been spoken before by any in the line of Atreus. They had never suffered from guilt and sought to be made clean.

Athena accepted his plea, and persuaded the avenging goddesses to also accept it. A "new law of mercy" was established, and the Furies themselves changed. Instead of the frightful aspects, they became the Benignant Ones, the Eumenides, the protectors of the suppliant.

With the acquittal of Orestes, the spirit of evil that had haunted the House of Atreus was ended, and he left the tribunal a free man. Never again would a person of that House be driven into evil by the irresistible power of the past. This story fit so very well into my dream/coincidence experiences, I can hardly begin to explain it. I can only give a few things here, and attempt to show how your dreams seem to support some of the ideas.

The cycle of time involves Karma or judgment. Kali and the Harlot both have this meaning. The dream reality is attempting to show a new interpretation of this. It is not really a punishment/reward system based on deeds, but a creative learning experience through adversities for an important purpose.

One key verse in the Bible is James 2:13, telling how judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy, yet mercy triumphs over judgment. Another way of saying this is that karma will be relentless to one who has not reached the heart chakra and understands the wisdom of compassion. It is compassion that triumphs over judgment.

A Sufi mystic also put it this way - that compassion will win a victory over karma. This, simply put, is basically what the big change is all about as we go from the lower chakras to the upper. In Revelation, the beast represents the karmic function, like "the swallower" in the Egyptian judgment scenes. It is an eighth but it belongs to the seven (chakras) and it goes to perdition. (Rev. 17:11) Being "swallowed" represents being reborn back on the earth plane, as a result of not reaching the forth/heart chakra.

Another important verse about this is in Isaiah 4:4, where the filth is cleansed from the daughters of Zion by a spirit of judgment and burning. This seems to suggest that it is not "God up there" judging and punishing, but rather a process that purifies.

The House of Atreus story could be a metaphor about this in the context of a single family line. A key insight about the story is that we must believe that we are not guilty, or that we have atoned for the quilts of our misdeeds, and/or that the power to do this is in the present, regardless of the past. By extension, it may be that it is critical for us to also believe that humanity, en masse, can make such a transition.

The man in the bathtub struck me as similar to a dream reported in Dreaming The End Of The World, by Michael Ortiz Hill. (page 58) A forty-six year old woman dreamed that a nuclear holocaust had occurred, and she went to the bath to kill herself by slitting her wrists. She found that the tub was filled with the body of an enormous dead black woman. There was not enough space to lie down upon her. A dark man, perhaps Ethiopian, came in a car, then entered the house. She felt relief and intended to ask him to kill her. Then a voice spoke saying, "Make a child." She protested and refused, but the kind voice said, "New life, new life!"

To me, the dream fits with the image of Kali. (or the Harlot) The "bath tub" seems similar to the cleansing process of "baptism," as a death/rebirth symbol of making a major change in one's outlook and spirituality.

In 1990, I had a dream where I planned to commit suicide, after sorting receipts on my bed and choosing just one, which was yellow. This seemed strange, because I had no feelings like that in waking life; I was quite happy. I had made a big change in attitude earlier that year, and my dream/coincidence experiences started at that time.

Eventually, I came to see this as freely choosing to "die" to the old way of being, as it is always accompanied by the "birth of the baby-self" of the new way. Being "killed,"

seems to be similar, but may suggest that it is not so "voluntary," that is, it may be brought about by higher powers, the Inner Self, and/or through the unconscious.

The "nuclear holocaust," or similar images of massive destruction on the earth seems to have the same meaning on the en masse scale. For example, a woman dreamed that her house caught fire, then all the houses burst into flames one-by-one. Then a beautiful green landscape rolled out like a carpet over the whole image. I think this is an important symbol being "newly understood."

When "the Harlot" is "killed" in the "final judgment," the Woman with Child descends.

(Rev.12) She was withheld during the 3 1/2 cycle in the lower chakras. (1260 days, or "a time, two times, and half a time.") The Harlot sits on many "waters," that are peoples, multitudes and nations and tongues. (Rev. 17:1, 15)

Your dream may be giving further clues. It was a male in the tub whom you "killed." I am not clear on the meaning, but in my own symbols, the male aspect relates to rational/ daytime thinking/beliefs, and/or to aggressive attributes which can be negative, or positive. The idea is that we "transmute the warring attribute" in the big change.

The man could also represent the "opponent" force, that is, the adversities that afflict us in the cycle. This is the real meaning of Satan, according to Blavatsky, as he was based on Typhon-Set, the murdering brother of Osiris. This makes a lot of sense to me. One example is in Zachariah 3:1-10, just before the part about the two olive trees. Satan stands to the right of the angel and accuses Joshua, who is attired in filthy garments.

The angel commanded those standing before him to remove the filthy garments and replace them with new ones. This takes his "iniquity away," and he is called "a brand plucked from the fire." Interestingly, the name "Joshua" is related to the name "Jesus" in Greek.

This Biblical passage is of particular importance to me. I first looked up Zachariah 4, in reference to Rev. 11:11, about the two olive trees standing up after 3 1/2 days. Later, as I was outlining my essay about the 3 1/2 theory, this dream voice message came:

"It seems like a never ending path. Some say it will never end, but they don't know Joshua like I do."

I couldn't remember anything about Joshua, except that he fought the battle of Jerico.

Later I saw his name in Zachariah 3, as I was rereading Zachariah 4.

I have come to some theories about these passages. Zachariah 4:6-10 tells how Zerubbabel will make the great mountain into a plain, and bring the top stone forward. In my "DNJ" (vol. 13, no. 1, page 28) article called "No Fear!" I told of my dream and how it related to the mountain that represented fears. Reaching the top indicated the point where all fears have been overcome. This was prior to my study of the Bible, which I had not read. Revelation 16:20 says every island fled away and no mountains were to be found.

I happened to catch a T.V. show after this about ancient times, where the commentator explained that Jews took the name "Zerubbabel" after their captivity in Babylon, and it means, "seed of Babylon." The old Babylon was once called "The Island," because it had water on three sides, and mountains on the other. I saw Zerubbabel as symbolic of mankind in the divided, warring cycle. I also related Joshua and Zerubbabel to the two olive trees. Some clues are given in Haggai 1:1. Zerubbabel is the son of the governor of Judah, and Joshua is the son of the high priest. To me, this suggests symbolically, the "outside governor," as our daily rational selves, and the "priest inside" the lotus of the heart, that is, the Self. (as expressed in The Upanishads)

Another thing came to mind as I was writing this just now.

Haggai 2:23 tells how the Lord will make Zerubbabel like a "signet ring" when the final days come. A coincidence happened when I first read this. At the time, I was reading parts of Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled. She explains how the mark put on the foreheads of the 144,000 by the angel in Rev. 7 is the Signet Ring of God, and is the mystic, equal-armed Tau Cross. This is why Rev. 14:1 calls it "his Father's name." This cross symbolizes the baptism at sea as a purification, and also the dual nature of the cosmos by the vertical and horizontal bars. My dream and the coincidence with Dream Feather clearly indicated the meaning. The angel coming out of the rising sun in the east in Rev.7 represents dreams at the dawning of the new age. It is "The Power of the Music of the Dawn."

Way back in my dream experiences, I received the message:

"The keys to the Kingdom, He said, are dreams."

And, of course, this relates to Apollo quite well.

Perhaps it's just my "take" on things, but it seems that the emerald ring is related to the Signet Ring. They both seem to represent dreams and/or our reconnecting to higher consciousness. It could be that the Signet Ring is the Grand Emerald.

I was a bit surprised to hear that Apollo was your internal bad guy and that you rejected the Muses. All the Greek gods seem to have some negative human qualities, but Apollo is said to have the least.

Then again, your feelings are understandable. Some of his actions, such as helping kill the seven sons and seven daughters are certainly unacceptable behavior by our standards. The Muses are said to know how to speak false things that seem true, but, when they will, they know how to utter true things. My own reaction to many of the Greek myths is mixed. There is an initial reaction to the surface story, often invoking humor and/or dismay at the actions of the gods. For example, the chief god, Zeus, is like a womanizer through history, mating with offspring of his offspring. He tries to hide this from his wife, Hera, who brings terrible misfortune to the poor humans involved. This seems more like a demiurge-god, rather than the True One.

There is deeper reflection about the myths when I start to compare the various symbols to today's dreams and other myths or concepts. Like dreams, they seem to carry symbolic meanings that make some sense. Some example are: Sex = a duality bonding of aspects. Death/birth = changing. Skinning = another form of changing, like shedding the snake skin or the husk from the seed as the plant emerges into sunlight. Music = vibrational harmonics associated with various consciousness levels. Trees = knowledge/beliefs that create life-the reality. Two trees = one is male/rational/physical/daytime/sun, the other is female/intuitional-dreaming/spiritual/nighttime/moon.

These are just some of my guesses, but the point is, the mythical stories may have other meanings. Apollo's skinning of creatures associated with Pan and turning women into trees may have a symbolic positive meaning.

The myths can be "read" differently this way. For example, take the story of the music contest between Apollo and Pan that King Midas had to judge. He didn't have a sophisticated ear for music and choose Pan as the winner. Apollo to changed Midas's ears into donkey ears, not to be cruel, but as appropriate. The idea I get from this is that Midas represents us humans, who have been blessed with natural abundance, which we tend to subvert by our own thinking/believing/consciousness level. Pan may show the relatively lower animal nature mixed with the higher ideals of human nature. Apollo is light and truth from higher consciousness. The idea is that we make discernments and choices all the time as we are influenced by the various parts of our "nature." So, the myth could be a humorous way of advising us not to make asses of ourselves in our discernments.

The symbol of Typhon-Set was the ass. (donkey) That's the "opponent" symbol, so the myth may be showing the condition of humans in this cycle, where we are changed by adversities.

There are a number of hints that the truth has been withheld from us for the cycle of time, and that the truth will be revealed at the end of the cycle. Dream Feather is one example. The word "Apocalypse" means a revealing of that which has previously been concealed.

An important part of your dream is that the man in the tub is a "janitor/genius." This seems to connect with another important dream/coincidence. In late 1992, I was writing to Pablo, explaining the concept of Solara's 11:11 Doorway, and how it might be related to my coincidence about Revelation 11:11. Suddenly, I recalled a dream that Pablo had sent earlier in the year. I was amazed when I reread the dream:

"Krishnamurti and I keep vigil over a deceased person. He comments that after 35 years seven psychological liberations followed. The housekeeper complains about her lack of money."

One of the symbols of the 3 1/2 chakra level is 35 years in the life of a man of three scores years and ten. In Rev. 11, the two trees lie dead for 3 1/2 days, which is similar to the "deceased person." Krishnamurti is named after Lord Krishna, the original trinity figure.

Then, I noticed the date of the dream, January 11, 1992. That is the exact date Solara said the 11:11 Doorway opened!

It wasn't long before the last line of the dream started to become clear. I had previously had a dream where I became separated from my large family (not from real life) after we went to a city and started doing our laundry. I was worried that I would not be able to find my family again, as I knew they would return home soon. I didn't have any money, so that made things more difficult. Then I remembered that I had a charge card, and felt relieved.

Using a charge card creates a debt that must be repaid later. To me, this indicated karma. I tended to reject that idea, but I became more open to it then. I felt that new understandings might be coming from dreams about it.

From this, the meaning of the Harlot started to make sense. The kings of the earth have fornicated with her and become drunk on her wine. This means a duality bond with an energy that invokes fury in us. A harlot demands payment for her services, so this indicates karma. I went on to read about the beast that was an eighth that belonged to the seven, and how this is thrown down at the end of the cycle, that is, the karmic cycle of time will end. The "housekeeper" in Pablo's dream seemed similar. She will "lack money" because people will have advanced beyond the

3½ point, where they are no longer committing many violations.

I later found another myth that seems related. The Aztec Earth Mother, Serpent-Skirt, sweeps and cleans at Serpent Hill to atone for (unspecified) sins. (in Rev. 12:16 the earth came to help the woman with child) One day, while performing her domestic duties, some downy feathers floated down from above. She tucked them under her serpent-belt, which caused her to become pregnant. Her daughter, Adorned-With-Bells, the Moon goddess, did not want the new child to be born, and plotted with her 400 brothers to kill it. (also similar to Rev. 12) The child spoke to his mother from within the womb: "Have no fear, I know exactly what to do."

Mother Earth's son, the Sun God, Hummingbird-On-The-Left, chased his 400 brothers around the hill four times and defeated them. He then killed his sister Moon Goddess, dismembered her, and sent her tumbling down the hill.

It was later that I learned of Kali and the Kali-Yuga time cycle, which fit with all this very well.

So, I see the "janitor" as being similar in function to the Aztec Earth Mother. Kali and the Harlot seem similar or related. I believe Shiva is the male counterpart of Kali in the cycle. This is "death or destruction creation," and is equated to a seed growing into a plant. The seed is killed in the process of the plant's growth.

The Aztecs seem to have picked up this symbolism too, but made a gross misinterpretation. They skinned sacrificial victims and wore the skins over their bodies to enact the idea of new life growing out of the dead, as like a seed shedding its husk.

So, the idea I have is that killing the man in the tub is related to the ending of the karmic function in the big change. Revelation says that death will be no more, so perhaps it has this meaning, that is, the death/rebirth/changing cycle will end.

Your dream also fits with an important dream of a young man named Cliff. He left a rowdy party to go play baseball. He looked in three cars for his mitt, but the same man was setting in the driver's seat of each car. A Kali-like woman was in a strange, out-of-control car. The third car was his own, and he discovered that the man had been setting on his mitt. Cliff pushed him aside and retrieved his mitt, and went off to play baseball.

I have a long story about how baseball represents the same thing geometrically as the Four Living Creatures and the Sri Yantra star, which represents the Logos of Man at the heart chakra. Cliff's dream seems to show that we have been withheld from "catching"

the truth in the lower three chakra stages, and that this will change as we reach the 3 1/2 step.

Recovering your emerald ring seems similar to Cliff retrieving his mitt.

The "finger" symbols in the dream also seem important. I'm not sure of the meaning, but I'll relate a few possible clues. I had two dreams in the past year about my hands and fingers. In one, they were blue and frozen looking. In the other they became green and grew large and angular. I felt movement inside my fingers and started to squeeze them. They split open, and I squeezed out green liquid and green lizards. When I finally got the last one out, I yelled to the people around me, "I got my hands back! I finally got my hands back!"

I felt that this was related to symbolism about Kali. She severs the hands of people and wears them like a belt. As the instruments of our "works," they symbolize karma.

You used three fingers to drown the man. This may indicate the Trinity level achieved at the heart chakra, or the three lower chakras. Fingers are "digits," so it could hint at "numbers." The severed finger of the man with the ring on it could be the "fourth finger," the number 4, or the fourth step or chakra.

The king and queen in the dream fits with they way I see things. They are "rulers" in the higher realm. Myths have the King and Queen of Heaven. Revelation seems to show us humans as fallen kings who have given over our "royal power to the beast." (Rev. 17:17) In the big change, the kings of the earth bring their glory into the New Jerusalem.

The symbolism of Jesus involves being the "anointed one," that is, a King. So, my guess is that the king, queen and yourself represent a form of the Trinity. You have recovered your "inheritance."

Your dream of the astrologer explaining the western sun and eastern moon/constellation symbols is a good one. I'll quote the last page of my letter to Madelon here:

"You're right, knowing about the solstices and equinoxes is of little practical value. The same could be said about the planets and stars in their migration about the celestial vault. It was important to the ancients. For one thing, it was like a big time-piece telling them when to plant their crops. Of course, it was all wrapped up in their myths, and some still think that is interesting and meaningful.

Here's an example. How do we determine when to celebrate Easter? Answer: Wait until the autumnal equinox, then wait again for the first full moon. The following Friday through Sunday is the holiday. Our society considers it a Christian tradition, but its roots go back before the dawn of history, perhaps before the dawn of time. It's a moment of balance.

Campbell says it became symbolically important way back when, because at sunset on the equinox the sun and full moon could be seen at the same time. The celestial orbs were generally considered symbols of the male and female energies that pervade creation. The waxing of the moon is similar in meaning to the snake shedding its skin.

The moon sheds its shadow as a celestial death/rebirth symbol.

And so, us humans make these changes through the seasons of our life-paths. The old self dies as the new self is reborn.

Of course, you don't have to look at the stars to realize this. It's just a reminder that the whole cosmos works this way."

Another scale of this is the "death" of the sun each day in the west, and it's "rebirth" in the east. The word "Easter" traces back to the Old English, "Eastre," and the prehistoric Germanic, "Austron," the dawn-goddess. The Indo-European base, "aus," means "east" and "dawn."

I found the Greek stories of Aurora (or Dawn) significant. She is "rosy-fingered," and arises to bring light to the gods and mortals. She bore the dark-skinned, Memnon of Ethiopia, who was killed at Troy fighting for the Trojans.

The great hunter, Orion, was cured of his blindness by going east, and letting the rays of the rising sun fall on his eyes. Later, he became Artemis' huntsman on Crete. In the end, Artemis killed him. Some say she did this in jealousy over Aurora's love for him.

Others say that he made Apollo angry, and the god tricked his sister into slaying Orion.

After his death he was placed in heaven as a constellation wearing a girdle, sword, club and lion's skin. (some of this seems similar to the story of Samson Part of my interest here is that Orion is Osiris, and each new pharaoh goes there to be reborn as Horus. And, the 11:11 Doorway is said to be open in the Belt of Orion.

Over the past five years, I have sent a lot of my material to various crop circle researchers. I've been disappointed at the response, although I have received some encouraging letters. Some seem to be catching on to the messages without my input. I am enclosing an example. (K)

Simon Burton did not mention that there will also be a "Grand Cross" alignment of the planets on the day of the Solar eclipse. The cross will point to Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio. These are also the Four Living Creatures: the lion, the ox, the man and the eagle. (Scorpio was once an Eagle) They are related to the solstices and equinoxes.

The Four Living Creatures are also associated with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I feel a little crazy sometimes, writing long letters to people about such things. But I have my reasons and I do enjoy it. The "signs" seem to be saying that something enormously important is near the horizon. It is worthy of attention, I think, regardless of the ultimate truth or reality of it. And if it turns out that the "big something" happens, perhaps our efforts will prove worthwhile.

Please feel free to share anything I send to you with your client or anyone else you wish. I am trying hard to raise interest in these matters, so you support me when you share the ideas. My hope is that others who are interested will pursue the ideas in their own way, and bring more hints, clues and interested others. My feeling is that this is part of the Great Plan, that is, it will take many to gather the puzzle pieces and put the picture together. Each person involved will probably have their own very unique path, which may appear as not fitting in at times. It is advisable to follow inner direction rather than follow any one particular leader or group.

Another piece of advice I have received is that such work should not be undertaken out of fear or in the hope of a reward, or as a burden. It is better to go by internal feelings of your own true interests, those that give you joy in pursuing. Your comments about dreams and interpretations being a kind of vibratory communication is on the mark again, I do think. Inspirations (associated with the Muses) and thoughts received in meditation are probably from the same source. The dream called "Skylab" on page 18 of "DNJ" vol. 14, No. 3 suggests this. The dreamer was told that the amino acids in our bodies pick up the signals.

This dream reminded me of Valis, by Philip K. Dick, which was based on real experiences. The word stands for "vast active living intelligence system." In the fictionalized book, this is an ancient satellite in orbit around earth.

I had a dream of a man sitting in a chair meditating. Behind him was a muscular male angel with pink wings holding two luminescent globes in his hands. The globes were pulsating, sending circular waves which intersected in interference patterns within the man's brain. They were accurately controlled to strike synaptic junctions in a way that caused images and messages to be transmitted into the man's mind. The man was having problems receiving the messages because of his own internal mind-talk.

The amino acids seem to be related to our DNA. I have been following this idea for some time. The Keys Of Enoch speaks about a change in DNA in a future transformation of the world. The Mayan scholar, Hunbatz Men, says that a repair of DNA will take place. Some writers have speculated that DNA is shaped like a radio tuning coil, so it could pick up vibratory signals on a cellular level. Crop circle investigator, John Haddington, has presented convincing evidence that a number of crop patterns are suggestive of DNA. It's related to "snail" and "ladder" patterns, and also to Mercury.

(Hermes) In the Barbury Castle formation, which may be a form of the Trinity, the three corner patterns have parallels in alchemical symbols. The north one is the sun and sulfur, the southwest one is the moon and salt. The ratchet spiral on the southwest is mercury/quicksilver. Like many ideas coming now, this seems far-fetched. But a recent dream of my work-friend, Jeff, seems to support it. And, he had not heard of the DNA theory.

He dreamed that he was on a spiral staircase at his old work place. Maintenance mechanics stood on each rung with their toolboxes beside them. Jeff took two pistols out of his toolbox and showed them to a mechanic, then put them back. Later, he went to get the pistols again, but they were gone.

In another dream, Jeff went into a grocery store during a rainstorm. The lights were out.

He went to the bathroom and saw our plant manager, Bob Behee, and his supervisor.

Something happened that he couldn't remember. He went back into the store and the lights were on. He took an item to the counter and paid for it by signing a block of caramel wrapped in cellophane. Then he was riding in a car with a woman dressed in red. She was doing a radio broadcast that was also coming over the car radio. After a bit, Jeff told her that he didn't like such talk programs, and suggested that she change to a rock 'n roll station. The woman announced over the air that she was changing stations.

Again, a vibratory communication is suggested. Later, I discovered something else about this dream. Caramel comes from the name "canamela," meaning "cane honey."

Cellophane is so-named because it has many little "cells," perhaps relating symbolically to honeycomb cells. Behee is suggestive of bees or bee hives. (Mr.

Behee has a sign in front of his house saying, "The Hive," which originally came from the town of Carmel. His secretary is Deborah, which is Hebrew for "Bee." Deborah in the Bible was a prophetess and judge in Israel.)

I remembered a recent dream of my own, where my nephew, John, demonstrated to a group of people how to "do it." He broke open a beehive that was hanging from a tree with a stick. As the honey gushed out, he leaned forward, stuck out his tongue, and drank a mouthful.

Then I recalled the dream of my daughter-in-law, Melissa, where she was held captive for three days and nights in the backyard with her dog, Honey. Then I discovered that "Melissa" means "bee" and "honey," or "honeybee."

The very interesting book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, mentions the bee symbol.

Investigations led to the discovery that Jesus was probably married and had children.

Some evidence shows that the descendants of Jesus later married into the family of the early French Kings. They took the symbol of the bee. Golden bees were found in one of their graves. Napoleon took the symbol of the bee for this reason.

More recently, I read some writings of early Christians that may be related. The words of Deborah were like honey, meaning they came from the Holy Spirit. John The Baptist ate raw honey that was formed like a pancake. (not locusts, as other translators claimed)

This honey-pancake was like manna. This refers back to the manna that the tribe of Israel ate on their 40 year wandering with Moses. Moisture provided by God fell on the ground at night, and turned to flakes in the morning. The people gathered it and made it into the manna. To me, this seems like a good metaphor to indicate dreams. The wandering tribe is like mankind in the cycle of time.

Apollo's son, Aristaeus, was a keeper of bees. One time all his bees died from an unknown cause. He was advised by his mother to seek out Proteus, the wise old god of the sea. The god could tell him how to prevent another such disaster, but would do so only if compelled. This was difficult, because the god had the power to change himself into any number of different forms.

Aristaeus went to the island and seized Proteus, holding him tightly as he changed into terrifying forms. Finally, the old god told him to sacrifice to the gods and leave the carcasses of the animals in the place of sacrifice. He was then to return nine days later and examine the bodies.

Aristaius followed the instructions, and found that a swarm of bees was in one of the carcasses. He was never troubled again by any blight or disease among his bees.

One guess I have about this, is that the struggle with Proteus represents our challenge of trying to find truth and meaning in the unconscious/dream realm.

So, again, today's dreams seem to be giving new meaning to the ancient symbols.

Jeff's dream may suggest a "bee" metaphor about our leaning experience here. Our "work" here produces the honey-cakes (caramel) which is a "payment," (sacrifice involving adversities/karma) which is exchanged for something of value. (item from store) This results in a step up in consciousness evolution. (change in "music program")

Bees are said to be guided by the sun. They seek flowers to obtain the nectar. Given the symbolic meanings of "sun" and "flowers," suggest more meanings.

I hope you see from all this how very important your dreams and contributions are to me. I thank you again for sharing them. I plan to set all this stuff down in a book someday. For now, I am still "gathering" and trying to share some of it with interested others. And, I do need practice "writing."

Picture me diving back into my honey-pot of dream material. I'm looking forward to your next letter and all the "nectar" you have gathered.

Wishing you sweet dreams and music -

Joe Mason

Dear Jim,

I read your article in "The Code" a few days ago. You'll never know how high my soul soared, as it touched many a "chord" in me. I call it "the Power of the Music of the Dawn." I'm the guy who's letter appeared in "The Code" #4-95, titled, "Dream Math...??" I began to dream about these wheel like shapes back in 1990.

Many dreams and other things suggested that there was a music connection. As I am not trained in music, I tried several times to interest others who are competent in that art/science. Believe me, you hit it right on the money. This letter is intended to show you why I say this, and present clues that suggest that it has absolutely enormous meaning. It's more than just music or global positioning of ancient sites; it's about Creation itself.

I first saw the "mile" symbolism when I read about the Barbury Castle crop formation in late 1991. (A) The square footage number, 31680, is six miles. There are several suggestions of six in the design, including six arcs on the ratchet spiral. Some years later, I learned about Gematria from "The Code," and that 3168 is part of it.

I could show dozens of things that suggest strongly that the pattern is showing something about how the reality is created, but I want to keep this letter short. The idea was reinforced for me when I saw Richard Hoagland's video about the face and pyramids on Mars. This same crop pattern is related to the same tetrahedral mathematics, which seems to show how planets are formed from another dimension.

The corner glyphs have parallels in alchemical symbols. The north is the sun/sulfur, the southwest is the moon/salt, and the ratchet spiral is Mercury/quicksilver.

Now it may just be a coincidence, but you did find those three symbols in your own musical path. Apollo is related to the sun, light, truth, and music. His twin sister, Artemis/Diana, is related to the moon.

Our diatonic scale came down to us from the Greek/Roman mythology. It is "the music of the spheres," corresponding to the seven planets, afterwhich our days of the week are named. Each is associated with a metal, the qualities of which our souls pick up in descending from heaven. At death, we return, shedding the metallic qualities, where we stand naked before God who sits on his triune throne.

Part of this mythology is said to trace back to the Babylonians, and ultimately to the eastern religions of India. H. P. Blavatsky traced it back quite well. The triangle, the great "AUM" of creation, produces a Star Of David inside a circle. (B) and (C)

The triangle is related to the Trinity. One meaning is - The "A"/Father, and "U"/Mother, engendered the Son, "M"/Man.

Similar shapes are related to the Zodiacal signs. (D)

Obviously, the music circle fits with the Lotus of the Heart, which has

12 petals with a Star Of David inside. The New Jerusalem, I do think, has the same meaning, as humanity's eventual destiny. If you draw in another Star Of David between points (forming the four overlapping triangles) and put little circles at each of the 12 points, you have almost all of The New Jerusalem Plan pattern. Just add the symbol of the One Deity (circle with rings) in the center, and it will be complete.

In The Upanishads, the Self (Brahmin) is said to reside in the Lotus of the Heart. The ultimate goal is to achieve union with the Self. The accomplishment brings "Life," whereas "Death" is the result of other paths. There is a "chariot" metaphor about this. The charioteer (intellect) manipulates the reins (mind-perceptions) in order to control the horses. (senses) The body is the chariot, and the rider is the Self.

This may seem off the wall, but I have reason to believe that humanity is on such a path. It would take too much space to tell much of it, so I'll just give a few examples.

In September, 1990, I drew a 14-pointed star formed by overlapping triangles. (F) Three years later, I learned that this star appeared within a pattern found grooved into a dry lake bed in Oregon in 1990.

It was huge, formed by 13.3 miles of lines. It was said to be a Hindu meditation symbol, called a "sriyantra." The story was released on the news services the day after I drew the pattern. (G) When I discovered this in 1993, I was writing an essay about humanity's leap to the heart chakra. I went on to learn that the sri yantra symbolizes the path through the chakras. (H) The outer part of the star that I drew represents the fourth/heart chakra. (I)

I was writing the essay because a number of coincidences had happened that seemed to zero in on Revelation 11:11, where the two trees stand up after 3 1/2 days. In myths found world wide, this is the midpoint of 7, showing the critical point between the third and fourth levels or chakras.

Dream-coincidence indicates that an important event will happen on August 11, 1999. The planets will be aligned in a "Grand Cross,"

pointing to Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, and Scorpio.(J) These are the Four Living Creatures of Ezekiel and Revelation. It is known in some systems as the "Merkabah," or four-wheeled chariot. A solar eclipse will take place on that day over England, the site where most of the crop patterns appear. It will start at 11:11 a.m. exactly. (K)

An odd set of coincidences happened about this "Solar 11:11 Doorway" material before I ever started reading the Bible. (late 1991 or early 1992) Part of the coincidences involved two stars, one with eight points and the other with twelve. (L) I had been forming such stars, but they had a different meaning to me. Solara claims that this material came from a direct recall of ancient memories. The idea of this big change being related to "octaves" fit with the "music"

symbolism. Solara also mentions creating patterns of overlapping triangles within triangles. (M) This seemed uncanny, because that was the way I was forming the stars. All this came back later into the coincidences about Revelation 11:11.

As I was just rereading these two pages, a couple of things stood out. She speaks about the grid alignments with the Giza pyramids, which seems connected with Carl's work. One of her other books speaks of "the Sun and Moon united as One."

[skip]

Your article sparked me to start drawing more wheels and other shapes.

I am enclosing a few pages of my notes about them. (S) through (X) It is fascinating that the music circle suggests another circle with nine parts. Could this be related to Gematria? All the Gematrian numbers are divisible by nine and add to nine or a multiple. Or could it be related to the pyramid?

Apollo had the nine Muses who danced to his music. One representation of this is said to be the Pythagorean Tetraktys. Apollo is the central star. This also has to do with how the reality is created. Two of the Pythagorean Tetraktys interlaced into a Star Of David (like the one shown above the eagle on our national seal) show our world being informed by the Heavenly one. (Y)

I have had several rather surprising coincidences with symbolism involving Apollo. One of them involved a guitar shape as a music/creation metaphor, the Mandelbrot Set shape, (which appeared 13 months later as a crop pattern) and the eight-rayed star, an ancient sun symbol related to Horus, Belmarduk, and Apollo. (Z) The first two are sons in a trinity. This star is located at the tip in the Mandelbrot Set shape, corresponding to the eight foot circle in the crop formation.

(AA) Finding this was purely accidental, at least from my side of the veil.

About two years ago, a voice spoke in a dream, saying, "Do you know why?

Because of the Power of the Music of the Dawn." I knew that this referred to the Angel coming out of the eastern sun in Revelation 7 to mark the foreheads, and that the meaning referred to dreams that are remembered at dawn at the Dawn of a New Age. It's the "Awakening." I awoke and recorded the dream, and, of course, realized this was a song from Andrew Loyd Webber's "Phantom Of The Opera."

Several hours later, I went to the library to return some books. As I was passing a bookshelf, I happened to notice a book that looked like a children's story. (AB) I could hardly believe how well it fit into my dream voice message. An Indian boy is asleep inside a cave in the earth, as the sun is rising. Musical tones project down from the sun along with seven colorful feathers. One feather comes down to the boy and points to his forehead. He follows it up into musical clouds and enters a seven-color triangle. He steps up seven steps as the colors change and he receives new garments, including a diadem with a symbol over his forehead. The seventh step is accompanied by a golden blaze of light which transforms him spiritually. He awakes in the cave amid a treasure of jewels, and walks out into the world with the light in his heart shining through his eyes.

Nostradamus also mentioned the number seven. (AC) The "slaughtering" or "slaying" seems to be a metaphor about being changed in a transformational way. In Revelation, only 144,000 are not slain. This is probably a symbolic number, but I'm not sure. It seems related to Ezekiel 9, where six slayers come from the north upper gate. A man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his side, is with them. He puts the marks on the foreheads.

Other dreams and coincidences suggest that this is related to the symbolism of the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters. Six are readily visible; the seventh is the "Lost Pleiad." I was told in a dream that the Angel in Revelation 7 is the Lost Pleiad. The mind-blowing meaning seems to be that the 7 days of Creation are not yet finished, the Seventh Day is still in the future, and we are not considered "Man" yet. The six aeons of time are superseded on the Seventh Day by the Seventh Ray.

I realize that I have not explained these things very well, and it may be difficult to follow. I could do a better job, but, like I said, it would require a book. I have a stack of stuff about three feet high about this, and I struggle constantly in trying to figure it all out.

What you see here is just a tiny, minute part of it.

I do hope you will find some connections to your own work, and that some new insight will come from it.

Play on - Dream on -

Honey -

A coincidence just happened. I read the e-mail from Lee Chin about Ed Dames claim that there will soon be a terrorist attack on the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility on the West coast.

About an hour later, I read an e-mail reporting a dream about patterns of light in the sky. I looked at our "Dreams of Sky Events" page (http://www.greatdreams.com/sky.htm).

I searched for the word "light" and came to a dream that may be prophetic. The Sun was very active with Flares and CME's in the dream. Tidal waves came from both the East and West coasts.

The tidal waves may represent the fear and anger sweeping the US. I pasted the material below.

Love,

Joe

Subj: Tidal Wave Dream
Date: 08/02/1999

To Dee;

With the Sun being so very active with Flares and CME's, I think I would like to go on record and advise a possible scenario that could occur to the coastal areas. This information came to me in a dream mid-June, and IF this occurs will be in the next 90 days.

The images came to me in a dream:

"I looked up at the Sun to see a VERY Large CME, so large it actually connected electrically to the earth, like a lightning bolt would strike from the sky to the ground. This event caused a HUGE Tidal wave, hundreds of feet high, possibly close to 1000 ft high, covering a very large area. People were running for their lives.....The tidal wave also came from the other direction. I interpret this to be both West and East Coast". I would like you to post this dream prediction, hopefully, it will not happen, however, I believe it will occur 90 days from June 1999.

A caller on the Art Bell show spoke of the WTC scene looking like the Roman colliseum. This reminded me of PKD in "Valis" saying "the Empire never ended."

5:10 AM

In composing the e-mail, I took a look at my Hale-Bopp article. On page 2 I rote of the signs in the sky dreams. The first one speaks of "Burning KKK crosses fall on people and pieces of buildings fall. Pieces of the street are thrust up." I just made a note above about KKK = 11 + 11 + 11 = 33. I am composing an e-mail for the earthchanges list about this.

DREAM AND NOSTRADAMUS CONNECTIONS http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/7779/nostra1.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/7779/nostra2.htm

[excerpts from article]

In 1995, The Dream Network Journal published a series of issues called, "Dreaming Humanity's Path." The dreams clearly were indicating great changes ahead. A number of the dreams were about constellations, such as Orion and the Pleiades, and events in the sky.

In volume 14, Numbers 1 & 2 (combined), on page 50, is a dream that starts with an earthquake. Burning KKK crosses fall on people and pieces of buildings fall. Pieces of the street are thrust up. Then it is night time and everyone is looking up at the sky. They see a strange thing, like a comet, coming slowly toward them. It is glowing and pulsating.

Everyone is afraid, but the dreamer is told mentally that it is extraterrestrials who are coming to help, and save them. The dreamer knows that this is a worldwide destruction going on and that nothing will ever be the same again. But he and his companions are being saved and protected.

In volume 14, number 3, on page 19, two dreams were printed side-by-side, titled "Signs in the Sky," and "More Signs in the Sky." The two dreams were submitted independently, yet they were almost identical. One dreamer saw a giant wheel turning in the sky with constellations going round and round. It was like time was turning, yet she and her friends were in a place of no time. Not everyone could see what was happening. She knew the identity of the constellations by name, old and new, and by "connected" names.

She asked her friend, "Do you see THAT?" and described a sign in the sky. It was like the stars were making connections.

The second dreamer was with a friend and looked in the sky with total awe. She asked, "Do you see THAT?" and described a sign in the sky. It was like the stars were making connections. She had a special name she described it by. Watching the sky signs was awesome, vivid, colorful, mesmerizing and felt prophetic. Some people saw what she saw, and others saw nothing. The wheel turned in the sky showing all the seasons and cycles. It was like looking through time, seeing past, present and portents to come. The dreamer talked to her friend a few days later. Her friend said she also had a similar vision, involving signs in the sky.

There was another dream reported in the journal, which I am unable to find at the moment. I remember it quite well, so I will tell my memory of it. The dreamer was awestruck by a huge sphere with many facets in the sky. It had once been a woman in the very distant past, but had turned into this thing. It still had maternal feelings. Sometimes it came close to the earth, like near mountains inhabited by humans, and felt connections.

The sphere then exploded, filling the sky with stars. (or something like that). Then, the dreamer was by a tree, and the message was communicated to her that the object/woman communicated to us through our amino acids.

Since amino acids are molecules that make up DNA, this seemed to be the very same mess
