THE TUTANKHAMUN PROPHECIES Maurice Cotterell 1 999 Page 193 " The centre of Solomon's courtyard contained a perfect cube, the 'holy of holies', the solid gold 'Oracle' encrusted in jewels. The inner / Page 194 / temple was a marvel of courtyards and balconies, adorned with 1,453 magnificently sculpted Parisian-marble columns, 2,906 decorated pilasters and statues of stone and metal. The buildings and courtyards could hold an estimated gathering of 300,000. Anderson's Constitutions of the Freemasons (1723) comments: . . . the finest structures of Tyre and Sidon could not be compared with the Eternal God's Temple at Jerusalem. . . there were employed 3,600 Princes, or 'Master Masons', to conduct the work according to Solomon's directions, with 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains ('Fellow Craftsmen'), and 70,000 labourers, in all 153,600, besides the levy under Adoniram to work in the mountains of Lebanon by turns with the Sidonians, viz 30,000 being in all 183,600..." "...According to the Biblical account, Chiram returned home following completion of the temple, although according to A. E. Waite (New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry); The legend of the Master Builder is the greatest allegory of Masonry. It happens that this figurative story is grounded on the fact of a personality mentioned in Holy Scripture, but this historical background is of the accident and not of the essence; the significance is in the allegory and not in any point of history which may lie behind it."

HARMONIC 288 Bruce Cathie 1977 Page95 A considerable amount of time was required to calculate a satisfactory value for the length of the Gallery. I eventually found that the amount of hollowing-in at the base provided the ,clue. If 57.6 (the amount in inches by which the base is inset) is divided by pi or 3.1415927, the resulting value is 18.334649. The harmonic equivalent of 1833.46 when applied to Gallery length would ensure that the wave-forms set up in the cavity were finely tuned to light frequencies.
PARALLEL UNIVERSE Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey 1977 IS TIME THE TUNNEL FROM HERE TO THERE?

Can there be a time other than that which we know and govern our lives by?..." Page 91 "The old Newtonian concept
of a Universe of three-dimensional

the fact that space and time are interrelated and woven together-in-extricably.
ME BY ANONYMOUS 1977 Authors Preface Page viii "And I want the lovers to know, all over again, that at such times a man is never more a man, a woman never more a woman, and that they are joined into a meaning infinitely greater than the sum of their parts, for their coupling is an equation of love. Why do we debase these lovely words? Because
we are ashamed of their true emotional meaning, we are afraid to open
our souls and our
bodies, as these words demand that they be opened.
Love is an open-ness. But for now, dear readers in your millions, that's all there
is: five novels, each complete within itself and yet each forming a
part of a linked whole for those perceptive enough, open enough, to
divine the linkages; and it is my fondest hope that they will
live forever, as, I
believe, they deserve to live,
in the minds and thoughts and feelings of new readers, and of old readers
returning to confirm and resavor an old de-light. "Her. Him Us You

PARALLEL UNIVERSE Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey 1977 Page 170 (Chapter 12) THE UNSEEN UNIVERSE OF CONSCIOUSNESS "In the foregoing chapters we have done a lot
of looking at the possibility of an invisible twin Universe, another
whole like us, yet different. Proponents call it various terms such
as Invisible Universe, Antimatter Universe, Parallel Universe, Fourth
Dimension. . . but they all attribute the same characteristics to this
unknown unit. It is unmaterial, therefore unseeable by man's eyes or
his instruments. It interacts with or interpenetrates our physical universe
from time to time, an action known only by reaction. Phenomena inexplicable
in scientific terms are occurring, and in these in- / Page 171 / stances, perhaps, we are being notified of the In-visible
System's proximity to us. Author and phenomena-investigator John A. Keel
would support this theory as he has stated on numerous occasions that
he concludes that all paranormal manifestations stem from a common source,
no matter what frame of reference they occur within This common source
probably is not a tangible, structured technology but a process of thought
power. The phenomenon of UFO's illu-strates that this power is able
to manipulate the human mind and reality itself to conform to-and support-the
beliefs of the witnesses. Page 173 "There is mounting evidence that
man has the ability through rising concepts in consciousness to overcome
physical space dictates even to the ex-tent of bettering his
life on earth and his Physical environment as well. When man cleans
up the at-mosphere of his mind, many philosophers feel, the Universe
will reflect this purified subjective state in clearer skies, fewer
storms, tornadoes, earth- quakes, and extremes of heat and cold,
With such exalted reasoning we can come to a beautiful conclusion that
would have pleased Mark Twain no end. Man,
at long' last, is not only talking about the weather, he finds he can
do something about it!

Tomlin 1952 Page 30 "When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1797 he took with him a large party of savants, chiefly scientists and archologists." "...his band of research workers made good use of their time. The publication in 1809 of their learned Descripton of Egypt is evidence of this. Perhaps the most valuable result of the expedition, howevever, was the discovery by a French officer, who happened to be working at Rosetta in the Nile Delta, of a basalt stone bearing inscriptions in three different scripts. "As one of these scripts, Greek was known, the scholars were able to translate what proved to be a decree issued by Ptolemy V Epiphanus (205 - 181 B.C.) The presumption, which in due course proved correct, was that the other two scripts, namely Hieroglyphics and a more popular cursive script called Demotic, carried a faithful rendering of the Greek version. Nevertheless, the process of trans-literation and translation raised a variety of difficulties. Published in its entirety in the above- mentioned report, the inscription on the Rosetta Stone, which is now in the British Museum, long exercised theintelligence of scholars in every European country, particularly Germany England, and France. But it was to a young French / Page 31 / student of Egyptology, Jean-Francois Champollion (1790-1832), that we owe the final decipherment. Something of the magnitude of Champollion's achievement may be judged by two circumstances. In the first place the text ran on without regard to division between words; and, secondly, neither Champollion nor any other contemporary scholar knew at the outset whether hieroglyphic signs represented ideas, sounds, or syllables: in short, whether they were ideographic, phonetic or merely syllabic. Nor did the experts realize, save after prolonged deliberation, that the hieroglyphic script was in fact based upon a combination of ideographic and phonetic characters, some of the latter acting as aids to comprehension rather than as elements in pronunciation, a fact which Champollion deduced from the preponderance of hieroglyphic signs over the Greek. To men-tion all the problems that Champollion was confronted with is unnecessary; we may merely note that it took him fourteen years to 'break' the hieroglyphic code, and another ten to acquire sufficient familiarity with the language to compile a grammar and dictionary - and incidentallyto kill himself with overwork. By 1822, the learned world was put in possession of the means of understanding, however partially, the mind of ancient Egypt. Not since the closing of the Egyptian temples in the 2nd century A,D. had access to such riches been possible." .

But the king making some scruple about the price, she went away and burnt three of them; and returning with the six, asked the same sum as be- fore. Tarquin only laughed at the humour; upon which the old wo-man left him once more; and after she had burnt three others, came again with those that were left, hut still kept to her old terms. The king began now to wonder at her obstinacy, and thinking there might be something more than ordinary in the business, sent for the Augurs to consult what was to be done. They, when their divinations were performed, soon acquainted him what a piece of impiety he had been guilty of, by refusing a treasure sent to him from heaven, and com-manded him to give whatever she demanded for the books that re- mained. The woman received her money, and delivered the writings, and only charging them by all means to keep them sacred, immediately vanished."

Yes. In those nine worlds
there might be, somewhere."

"Servants in the great temple of HECATOMPYLOS! Ye who in the sacred city DIOSPOLIS have dedicated your lives to the service of the King of the Gods and of men' HERMES * the interpreter of the will of OSIRIS greets you 'It is the will of the Gods, in grand assembly convened, that ye preserve your lives free from stain and pollution. It is their will that ye continue to instruct the nations, as far as they may be permitted to know. It is the pleasure of OSIRIS sitting on his throne of clouds, and sur-rounded by the inferior deities, that ye make known to his subjects, his children upon earth, whatever may concern their DESTINY and what matters ye shall find written in the book of books :-THE WRITTEN ROLL OF MAN'S FATE, now committed to your / Page xxx / safe keeping :-that ye do this strictly and truly, without fear of danger, or hope of reward, according to all questions that may be asked, by individual persons, by tribes, by rulers of states, and by conquerors of nations. OSIRIS commandeth the servants in his favoured sanctuary to shew favour unto none, in the answers which it will be their duty to give from this book. Let sacrificices and gifts and invocations be made; let the question be asked in all humility and strong faith, and when the DIVINER hath consulted the windings and intricacies of the problem, according to the instt\i{:tions hereunto appended, let the result be written and handed to the chief PROPHET OR PROPHETESS, (seated on a stool having three legs;) who shall read and interpret the writing of HERMES unto the enquirer, in the face of all the assembled people. And the PROPHET OR PROPHETESS shall read no writing but what hath been truly given to her by the priest who doth officiate in the sacrifice; and the priest shall not add to, nor diminish from, what he findeth to the true answer to the question asked, as in this ROLL OF MAN'S FATE contained: neither shall he substitute one answer for another, but in all things he shall do according to the instructions herein given. 'The highest among the Gods, in like way, ordaineth, that no bribe, nor private gift, shall be offered or taken, either by the individual who enquireth, or by the priest who maketh answer to the consulta-tion: let the gift, which is to he offered, be of free will, and let it be put upon the altar after the sacrifice hath been consumed, In the face of all the people. If herein the priests offend, they shall, on the instant, be struck down and pinioned to the earth by the piercing and fiery arrows which the great OSIRIS in his anger, speaking from the clouds, hurleth at offending mortals. - Look to it; that, in this, ye offend not. It is further enjoined that ye take strict charge of this book; that no one but the priests do touch it with their hands, and that it be pre-served in a chest of alabaster, to be placed under the-altar in the midst of the temple. It is in like way commanded that copies of the book be written as occasion requireth, and that they be transmitted unto. the priests of the other temples throughout, the earth: also that they be deposited in the tombs of the KINGS AND OF THE HIGH PRIESTS. as followeth: - When the body hath been embalmed and sufficiently swathed in fine cloth, let the roll of writing be placed under the left Breast, and / Page xxxi / let the vestment be bound over it; so that it shall be covered close and hid from view. The body shall then be attended by the princes and priests and people to the place of sepulture, where it is to be interred with honour ;- a strong and durable building being raised on the top thereof.

They otherwise called him THOTH; and their priests constantly maintained that from the hieroglyphical characters upon the pillars he erected, and the sacred books, all the philosophy and learning of the world has been derived, and all the oracular intelligence has been drawn."
THE BIBLE CODE Michael Drosnin 1997 CHAPTER FOUR THE SEALED BOOK Page 149 "Isaac Newton's search for the Bible code was revealed by the great economist John Maynard Keynes in Essays and Sketches in Biography (Meridian Books, 1956), pp. 280-90, 'Newton, the Man.' Richard S. Westfall, in The Life of Isaac Newton (Cambridge University Press, 1993), p. 125, also quoted Newton's theological note- books, and stated that the physicist 'believed that the essence of the Bible was the prophecy of human history.' See also, Westfall's Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton (Cambridge University Press, 1980), pp.346ff. I first saw the report of the Rips and Witztum experiment in the original draft they submitted for peer review, and the abstract quoted is from that draft. The paper was ultimately published in an American math journal, Statistical Science, in August 1994 (vol. 9, no. 3), pp. 429-38, 'Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis,' Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, and Yoav Rosenberg. I spoke to the journal editor, Robert Kass, before the article was published. His editorial note is quoted from the pre-print he read to me. It was later published in Statistical Science, p. 306. The full Rips- Witztum paper is reprinted in the Appendix of this book. The results Rips and Witztum reported in Statistical Science were that the names had matched the dates against odds of four in a million, but in a series of later experiments the actual odds were found to be one in ten million. The original results were derived by taking the set of 32 names and 64 dates and jumbling them in a million different combinations, so that only one was a completely correct pairing. Rips and Witztum then did a computer run to see which of the million examples got a better result - where the information came together most clearly in the Bible. 'In four cases the random pairing won,' explained Rips. 'The correct pairing won 999,995 times.' But in a second experiment where all the correct matches of names and dates were eliminated from the jumbled pairings, and the only correct information appeared in the completely accurate list, and 10 million permutations were checked, the results were one in 10 million. 'None of the random pairings came out higher,' said Rips. 'The results were 0 vs. 9,999,999, or one in 10 million.'..."
CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS Circa 1926 Page106 "Shakespeare, that Prince of Philosophers, whose thoughts will adorn English litera- ture for all time, laid down the well-known axiom: There is a tide in the affairs of men which if taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." The question has been asked again and again, Is there some means of knowing when the moment has come to take the tide at the flood?My answer to this question is that the Great Architect of the Universe in His Infinite Wisdom so created all things in such harmony of design that He endowed the human mind with some part of that omnipotent knowledge which is the attribute of the Divine Mind as the Creator of all.

The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it, And the clay that fills your ears shall be pierced by those fingers that kneaded it. And you shall see And you shall hear. Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things, And you shall bless darkness as you would bless light. After saying these things he looked about him, and he saw the pilot of his ship standing by the helm and gazing now at the full sails and now at the distance. And he said: Patient, over patient, is the captain of my ship. The wind blows, and restless are the sails; Even the rudder begs direction; Yet quietly my captain awaits my silence. And these my mariners, who have heard the choir of the greater sea, they too have heard me patiently. Now they shall wait no longer. I am ready The stream has reached the sea, and once more THE GREAT MOTHER holds her son against her breast. Fare you well, people of Orphalese. This day has ended. It is closing upon us even as the water-lily upon its own tomorrow. What was given us here we shall keep, And if it suffices not, then again must we come together and together stretch our hands unto the giver. Forget not that I shall come back to you. . A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body. A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me. Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky. But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song. and if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky. So saying he made a signal to the seamen, and straightaway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved eastward. And a cry came from the people as from a single heart, and it rose into the dusk and was carried out over the sea like a great trumpeting. Only Almitra was silent, gazing after the ship until it had vanished into the mist. And when all the people were dispersed she still stood alone upon the sea-wall, remembering in her heart his saying: A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.'
