It is interesting that the Sony building used to be an AT&T.
Possibly a connection with the telephone conversation at the end of
TDB.

Ok, AT+T was a "Division of the Bell System"...
did I win?

sorry, couldn't help myself..

That's actually pretty good!
i've often thought that Alexander Grahm Bell might link to the phone

Thank you both innertide and CGE.

Eric. I I've always appreciated the fact that you don't take my word
for it. You go out and actually do the research and set up your own
conclusions based on facts YOU have researched. I think so much of
this enigma is about seperating pre-formed conclusions and opinions
from the actual facts behind them.

"Ant, where does this eye in the heart symbol come from?"
This is a key question. Because the place (or places) of origin should
give away 99% of the truth about symbols of this nature. All we have
to do is study the philosophy of those who implemented it, realize
that those philosophies were created with secret undertones (as all
religeous philosophy is) and then try to fit the pieces of that secret
meaning together. Here is what I have come up with so far.

You know my research about the sacred word, sound, or name of God has
been about finding a lost secret that has made countless people and
organizations in the past very powerful and even extrememly wealthy in
some instances. It has to do with knowledge imparted unto mankind by
advanced beings about the true nature of reality and the power and
potential each of us holds inside to direct that reality.

This knowledge isn't necessarily crystal clear. It has been obscurred
and secreted so only those who seek it out are privy to it's
advantages. As my research has gone on I've come across many things
that this notion could be alluding to, such as a specific pitch of
vibration which makes the main vibration of reality easier to
manipulate with thought patterns. I've also come across the notion
that it is actually a word that when spoken correctly alows direct
communication with God. I've even come acros the notion that it is a
sound made by the mind, and a specific frequency of thinking that can
allow the knower all sorts of godlike ability. Yogi's for instance
will use a special sound created by their mind as a thread in space
and time to communicate with others at long distances of both space
and time.

Here is a personal theory of mine. What if "the word" is actually a
frequency created by a place in the heart?
There is a physical place in the heart which actually produces light.
This is a fact.
http://www.appliedmeditation.org/tests/light_emission.shtml
Light is directly related to sound. They both have specific
frequencies. The all seeing eye of the the essence of the soul which
is physically reflected in the heart, then could be equated with
TDSOTM prism, in which the the light eminated from the source is
broken into frequencies by the perception of the soul which is always
represented in freemasonry as a triangle. Freemasons beleive the
triangle represents thought, emotion, and action. The three aspects of
perception.
Therefore, this would mean that literally, consciousness (snake
energy) flows from the heart creating our experiences. And beyond this
perception of the soul is the source from which this consciousness
flows, the secret chamber of God which is represented in the Judeo-
Christian heritage as Solomons Temple. Reality can be manipulated with
Godlike abilities when one can reach this place and understand how to
direct the sacred "word" or flow of consciousness, which ultimately
flows from the source or in the physical universe... the center of our
galaxy, which IMO will ultimately connect with the center of our
universes and the true source.

See the connection with the story of the Matrix?
I read somewhere recently that encoded in the green lettering
somewhere is the phrase "you are the one". The idea is that the "one"
needs to reconnect to the source in order to reset the matrix. When
the "one" reaches the source the cycle will start over. This reflects
the beleif of the Hopi's who taught we are currently living in the 5th
world of man. But here is a question for you. What if the one never
reached the source in the previous 4 incarnations which is why the
cycle was repeated? I don't have much to go off of but for some reason
I feel strongly that if the one reaches the source and duality is
exposed as an illusion, then this game will be over and we will move
on to higher ground not repeating the cycle. But again that is purely
opinion.

The whole Mayan calendar is based on a specific cosmic conjunction. A
very important one that symbolizes not only a physical change in our
way of living but also a spiritual one. When you study Mayan
philosophy you find that they were very aware of the idea that reality
was an illusion and nothing more than the reflection of the "real
world" which existed beyond the veil, within each of us. Therefore
they knew with great insight that the great galactic alignment
represented not only a physical alignment with the center of the
galaxy but an alignment of consciousness with the source. The center
of the galaxy represented the source of the snake energy which was the
source of all life. This concept is also found in eastern traditions
as kundalini, ohm, and chi, which the easterners also beleived
resonated from the center of the galaxy. This is the true meaning of
the swastika as well as the symbol for ohm.

So, IMO, you are dead on with the duality of TDB heads representing
the duality of the age of pisces and the current dichotomy of our
physical reality. The coming together of the heads into unity,
illustrated by the sacred place of God or the source, represents the
coming age of Aquarius where "the sheep shall be seperated from the
goats" or in essence duality (positive and negative) will be replaced
with the concept of singularity. Only purity will exist. Now let's tie
this into the personal realization of the heart.

As far as I can tell the earliest concepts of the heart being the
resting place for God has cropped up from all four corner's of the
globe. This can only lead to one conclusion. Those philosophies must
have branched off from an original idea somewhere in time. Therefore
we must compare and contrast all the pieces of the puzzle to find the
facts behind the legends and build the bigger picture. The Mayans
belevied that as we approached this alignment, our cosciousness would
change. We would attain more and more of Gods qualities becasue
essentially we would realize our individual Godhood and ultimately
realize the illusion of seperatness. We would all realize that we are
God and thus be re-united in the singular consciousness that is
everything and everyone we have ever expierenced.
The secret to realization in just about every philosophy or religeon
is to look within ones self and realize that he/she is actually not
seperate from there environment. That everything experienced is a
manifestation of their own consciousness (snake energy) and that
ultimately even their own identity (ego) is a manifestation of the
ultimate source in which we are all the same being who chose to
experience ourselves from different points of observation.

The place where one begins to understand this is the all seein eye.
What is the one thing that see's and knows everything you have ever
done or experienced in your life? The eye of your soul or of your
essence. This is the same eye that exists in all living creatures.
Therefore it is all seeing and all knowing becasue it permeates every
consciousness. This I believe exists within the center of the
conscious being because the center leads to the source. It has been
known for thousands of years by all types of races and creeds that the
way we choose to perceive our reality will actually change our
reality. Attitude is everything. The reason for that is becasue we are
actually creating the experience from our perceptions rather than
creating our perceptions from the experience. It is the opposite of
what we have been taught. We eminate the invisible light of
consciousness (snake energy that creates reality) by choosing how we
react to any perceived situation. The secret of secrets is that the
sacred space beyond the eye of perception is literally the resting
place of God and the source of all our experience. When one comes into
enlightenment by discovering this sacred place, all fear and
negativity is vanquished, because we realize there is nothing to fear.
We are the creators of our own destinies and everything within them.
Death, pain, loss, confusion, and limitations are all illusions
created by our own self inflicted ingnorance (the ego) to construct
the matrix of experience we are living in and give us the intentional
feeling of seperateness. God wanted to experience itself from a non-
subjective point of view. So it created negativity as a backdrop to
contrast itself against. Once the illusion is realized, then
negativity no longer exists. Only purpose of life and love will
remain, as it always has, for infinite infinity.

If my individual reflection of the source (my ego and identity)
realizes enlightenment, or that I am God, before yours does, it
doesn't make me any better. It may appear to you in your world of
experiences that I am able to do amazing miraculous things, but in
reality I am simply that part of you trying to bring you to the same
realization so we can end this current game of duality and start
something new. Since everything is pre-determined, this is reflected
in the physical plane by a major cosmic conjunction on a scale so big
we can hardly even imagine the magnitude. A perfect reflection of what
is taking place in the universal consciousness. It all comes back to
the time is an illlusion, and past, present, and future are all
happening at once, concept.

So I know this is long winded, but this is my current understanding of
what is taking place. I hope that through communication with my self
(you and other like minded seekers of the truth) that I can form a
better understanding, and through the perfection of knowledge and
wisdom I can acheive the ultimate goal of enlightenment and reuniting
with the source and the eradication of fear, ignorance, and the
illusions of the hardship of life.

There is a story elluding to the idea that when one of God's creatures
obtains enlightenment and oneness with God, at that very moment, all
consciouss beings will obtain the the same qualities.

"The story of Buddha’s quest for enlightenment is a story about trust.
Buddha, throughout his life, trusted himself deeply. He wasn’t a
Buddhist. He simply practiced his life, and engaged it fully,
convinced that he had what was necessary to respond to his questions
and the challenges he encountered. His enlightenment confirmed that
trust. In seeing the morning star and exclaiming, “I and all sentient
beings on earth, together, attain enlightenment at the same time,”
Buddha essentially declared, “Trust yourself.”
http://www.mro.org/zmm/teachings/daido/teisho30.php


"The Mahayana encourages everyone to become bodhisattvas and to take
the bodhisattva vows. With these vows, one makes the promise to work
for the complete enlightenment of all sentient beings by practicing
the six perfections"

Perhaps this is my purpose? Perhaps it is your purpose as well?
Perhaps it is the purpose of the all? To obtain Godhood together at
the same time?

This IMO, is the meaning behind the Monkey's in TDB artwork. The word
Monkey has no known origin. It contains the word Monk and Key. There
is a great mystery about this word and it's origins. It is connected
to the 100th monkey effect, and the true origin of the term "brass
monkey" as well as the truth behind who we are and where we came from.
Remember the monkey art in TDB book for the song Keep Talking? The
monkeys are all joined together to make the face of a bigger monkey.
This is very important in understanding what is taking place with all
the synchronicities we have been experienceing together. I've posted
it in this thread before. Allow me to re-iterate with this website.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth_Monkey_Effect


Curious to hear some feedback.
Thanks again for the input.

facts behind the legends and build the bigger picture. The Mayans
belevied that as we approached this alignment, our cosciousness would
change. We would attain more and more of Gods qualities becasue
essentially we would realize our individual Godhood and ultimately
realize the illusion of seperatness. We would all realize that we are
God and thus be re-united in the singular consciousness that is
everything and everyone we have ever expierenced.
The secret to realization in just about every philosophy or religeon
is to look within ones self and realize that he/she is actually not
seperate from there environment. That everything experienced is a
manifestation of their own consciousness (snake energy) and that
ultimately even their own identity (ego) is a manifestation of the
ultimate source in which we are all the same being who chose to
experience ourselves from different points of observation.

The place where one begins to understand this is the all seein eye.
What is the one thing that see's and knows everything you have ever
done or experienced in your life? The eye of your soul or of your
essence. This is the same eye that exists in all living creatures.
Therefore it is all seeing and all knowing becasue it permeates every
consciousness. This I believe exists within the center of the
conscious being because the center leads to the source. It has been
known for thousands of years by all types of races and creeds that the
way we choose to perceive our reality will actually change our
reality. Attitude is everything. The reason for that is becasue we are
actually creating the experience from our perceptions rather than
creating our perceptions from the experience. It is the opposite of
what we have been taught. We eminate the invisible light of
consciousness (snake energy that creates reality) by choosing how we
react to any perceived situation. The secret of secrets is that the
sacred space beyond the eye of perception is literally the resting
place of God and the source of all our experience. When one comes into
enlightenment by discovering this sacred place, all fear and
negativity is vanquished, because we realize there is nothing to fear.
We are the creators of our own destinies and everything within them.

Ant, i think you mean well, but you are also an asshole. you have
taken the time to feel what is in your heart, and i admire that. but
think of what you could do with your heart & your feelings. instead
you waste your time on people who probably didn't even read your whole
post. you also make important points look like a sham, because you are
obviously a bake head, with too much time on your hands. plant a tree.
i will match you on every single tree you plant, unless you become
famous, and i simply cannot afford to match you any more. however, im
sure another good law abiding citizen with alot of money will match
you, in fact, no don't good law abiding citizen, do it to spite me.

I have alot of luv for you innertide. You know this. But you don't
fully understand what I am doing here.
I am not wasting my time on anyone. No one is a waste of time.
Everybody has a piece of the puzzle.
This thread is here for those who may not be present at this current
point in space and time. It is an archive of information waiting for
the one who is ready to find it.

Now please do not pass judgement on me. I would expect this from one
of the operatives but not from you. I know you have a good heart and I
know that you have specific duties which you feel you must perform,
but please... when the time comes, follow whats in your heart not what
your "assignment" directs you to do.

I think it is very hipocritical of you to call me a bakehead when you
smoked with me the firtst time we met.
As far as I know you still smoke. But let me fill you in on something.
I quit smoking over a year ago. And while I don't think it is a bad
thing and I would love to be a "bakehead" again. Some things are more
important. Like keeping custody of my son. With that said i would like
to fill you in on another tidbit.

I have practically no spare time at all. I have been in and out of the
courts since my other son passed away, getting custody of my living
son, I have also been getting counciling for my son as well as for my
self. I have also been juggling a hectic work schedule in excess of 40
hours most of the time. not to mention I play in a band, and writing
and practicing music is very very time consuming. My girlfriend
sacrifices the time we spend together just so I can take a few hours
to practice guitar. And to top all that off I bought a house for me
and my boy that required (and still does) quite a bit of work. Too
much time on my hands? Please do not speak about things you know
nothing about.

The reason I do this is because my HEART is telling me to. some nights
I forfeit sleep so I can research ancient history. Sometimes I have to
let the computer read things to me so I can get laundry done and cook
dinner. Sometimes I have dreams that simply tell what to look for,
saving me time that I don't have. Basically I MAKE spare time in the
time that I am tyaking care of responsibilities. I am searching for
the truth, not just for me but for the whole, and the closer I come to
finding it, the closer the whole comes to finding it.

You know what I say is true. You found me and I told you about my
dreams and how they related to PF. I told you that there was a reason
you found me. Shortly after you showed me to PE.com what happened? PF
reunited.

I am not making the claim that it was purely my presence that caused
the reunion, or even that our posts somehow were the catylist for Nick
Mason to begin the peacemaking process, but what I am saying is that
it was a sign to me that I must continue this path I am on. I must
continue to search out the truth and post my findings and discuss them
with those who will listen. Do you know why?

Becasue I must do this for my deceased son. This whole Publius Enigma
started for me with a vision of his death, before the enigma was
announced. It was his decision to leave this place and I must make
sure he did not sacrifice himself in vein. I was shown why he did what
he did and I was shown what I must do.

Publius told me to "Listen, Read, Think, and Communicate" and he said
this was the place to do it.
Keep Talking remember?

What happened to you nina? When did your spirit leave you? Why have
you become so judgemental and mean?

I will take your criticism to heart. I know I can be hasty sometimes
and I overlook important things. I will do my best to slow down and
anylize the "important clues".

But I think you should take a look in the mirror when you talk about
helping the planet. Planting a few trees isn't going to help if we
don't stop those who are in power from burning the whole world to the
ground. And our greatest weapon in this war currently is the
dissemination of KNOWLEDGE. And the Internet is the blade on our
sword.
The bible says this of Jesus.
"He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp
two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its
strength."

Never estimate the power of "The Word"

By the way, how do you know I haven't been planting trees all this
time?
I do live in Colorado remember?

Take care Nina. I hope you find your way again.

"According to Max Heindel's Rosicrucian writings, called Western
Wisdom Teachings, there are in the brain two small organs called the
pituitary body and the pineal gland. This last gland is also called by
medical science as "the atrophied third eye"; however, these teachings
describe that none of them are atrophying: the pituitary body and the
pineal gland at the present time are neither evolving nor
degenerating, but are dormant. It is said that in the far past, when
man was in touch with the inner worlds, these organs were his means of
ingress thereto, and they will again serve that purpose at a later
stage. According to this view, they were connected with the
involuntary or sympathetic nervous system and to regain contact with
the inner worlds (to reawaken the pituitary body and the pineal gland)
it is necessary to establish the connection of the pineal gland and
the pituitary body with the cerebrospinal nervous system. It is said
that when that is accomplished, man will again possess the faculty of
perception in the higher worlds (i.e. clairvoyance), but on a grander
scale than it was in the distant past, because it will be in
connection with the voluntary nervous system and therefore under the

Ok Nina, you call me an asshole and a bakehead and then you tell me to
kiss your ass?
Not nice. Let me give you some final words from the bottom of my heart
and please listen.
Life isn't always fun. But light cannot grow unless the darkness
pushes against it. Keep in mind that there is absoultely nothing to
fear EVER, no matter how dire the situation, because even darkness is
created from light. There is ONLY light, and thats all that has ever
been. The darkness is an illusion created by our own consciousness
only to contrast the infinite backdrop of light. It serves no other
purpose. It is a figment of imagination and when it is recognized as
just another aspect of light, it disapears like a rainbow disapears
into the backdrop of the sky. Life is ALL light. Light like a feather.
Make sure you live it with a light heart and never take anything too
seriously, because it isn't meant to be lived that way. You are meant
to be happy ALL the time, even when you are sad. It's kind of like a
big joke. Everything seems so critical and dire from day to day but
really there is never anything to worry about because no matter what,
it is ALL under divine principal. Nothing can ever change you unless
you choose to be changed. Sometimes we forget why we are here in the
hustle and bustle of things and it is easy to repeat the same routine
from day to day... but it is most important remember to live, create
and grow in whatever you are doing. You can best accomplish this by
following your heart of hearts, because this is where your connection
to the source is found.
I can't motivate you, that is something that has to come from inside
you. Motivation is a personal choice. You either are motivated by my
words or your not. It has nothing to do with me. Choose to be happy
NOW, nomatter what it is you are doing. Whether you are planting a
tree, or learning and studying philosophy. The point is that, it's not
what you do that should make you happy, it's that you should be happy
in whatever you are doing.
I have nothing further to say to you.

Syncopa, thank you for your words of wisdom. I hear what you are
saying and I will do better at recognizing opportunity. But I don't
think you understand me. I am living life as full and as awake and
appreciative of every moment as I can at this point in my evolution.
This is what I meditate and act upon every iota of time that passes.
In fact sometimes I wish I could be numb to it all because living a
life worth living can be quite painful sometimes, but I know thats not
the right way to think and feel. Asking me why I do this is like
asking someone why they breath. It is within me to search out the
truth and communicate my answers to the world. Just as the Creator has
love for life and it's continuation so do I, and this is my
contribution, my legacy. I have the ability to ease the suffering of
others (who are ultimately only myself suffering) by expressing the
truth about life through whatever means necessary. Whether that be
music, art or the internet. The reason I know truth can ease suffering
in others is because the truth eases the pain within my soul, it
exposes it as a falicy and suddenly life isn't painful anymore. Since
we are all the same soul, it can only have the same consequence for
others who are ready to hear and accept it. Some fight against the
growth of their soul or simply ignore it, but that is ok, because that
is the piece of myself who is not ready to face the light yet. So I
strive to prepare them by preparing myself and working on that part of
me which is immature and unwilling to change. So much of it is
admitting when we are wrong.
Be the change in the world you wish to see.

There are also those who have access to the truth, yet they spread
lies and ignorance intentionally. But they are also just another part
of me. The part that pushes me to search out the truth. If it weren't
for this part of me I would not be searching at all. They are the
darkness pushing my light to grow.

I did do construction for a long time and it taught me alot about the
use of geometry and math, hardwork and the benefits of doing things
yourself, ect... but that was not what I wanted to do with my life.
For some this mya be fulfillment, but it was not for me. I have
another purpose. Creating a unique life worthy of living is what we
all should strive for. This can only be accomplished by following our
bliss. I create beautiful artwork. I create beautiful music. I create
my own philosophy and way of living life based on my truths I worked
tirelessy on finding. I don't just blindly accept someone elses
version just because they shove it down my throat or becasue I am too
lazy to figure it our on my own. I know that the way I live is based
on real truth because unlike so many others, I took the time and
effort to care about such an important decision and figure it out on
my own. I cannot throw caution to the wind and just beleive in a
philosphy that pertains directly to my immortal soul without
investigating it thoroughly. It is too important. I live every moment
as if it were my last. This is why I create archives of all my
findings and my journey. This is why I create music. This is why I
create art. This is why I create time with my loved ones. This is why
I create. It is my legacy. So in the hopes that the next generation
might benefit from it in some way.

I mirror the Creator because the Creator is the most beautiful thing I
can experience. The Creator is filled with the wisdom and knowledge of
everything. It is all consciousness, and consciousness is nothing more
than pure love. It is the will to live on. The Creator creates and
then watches with unconditional love as his creations make choices.
What could make a parent happier then to see their children happy in
the choices they have made?

Do I ever beleive I will find the answers and the truth I am looking
for?

YES

In fact, I already know it, I am simply remembering.

The oracle at Delphi says
"Know Thyself"
It is the God given right of every living soul to know and understand
the truth and foundation of their origin if they seek it out and
choose to know it. There is never any reason to hide the truth from
the willing and ready to listen. There is never a reason to deprive a
life of light, love, and knowledge when it seeks it out. We have
something that no other generation before us has had. We have instant
access to vast amounts of information, and for the first time in
recorded history, the veil of lies can finally be lifted. This is
becasue we as a whole are ready to remember the truth once again.
Nothing happens by chance. This was intended to happen NOW at this
moment for the whole to free itself from the bonds of it's own
ignorance. Take advantage of the opportunity in front of you to aquire
knowledge and wisdom like never before. Reach out and fill your soul
with the light of Creator as it blazes in front of you as a signal of
the times. Sure, when all is said and done on this plane you know
absoulutely nothing, but the purpose is not to know everything. The
purpose is to be able to distiguish that which is true from that which
is false. When one has learned the lesson, then the many have learned
the lesson, for the one is the many and the many are the one.

Let's say hypothetically that all the main religeons of the world were
fundamentally wrong.
Do you think the Creator would want us to keep worshipping false
religeons and false deities and then perform actions in it's name? The
worst sin man has ever commited, in my opinion, was speaking in the
Creator's name and then commanding it be worshipped as the absolute
word of of the Creator. Who are they to tell us what God thinks? If
there is such a thing as Blasphemy, then this would be the definition.
If the Creator did speak then surely those words would be known to all
the living creatures it created instantaneously, and it would not have
to be taught by a few to the many. Why would the all powerful Creator
have need for a moderator? An omnipotent being could simply will his
word into your very being and it would be felt and recognized beyond a
shadow of a doubt. Only someone who didn't want you to hear those
words would teach otherwise. Of course this is all my personal outlook
on what God truly is. And my God, who is the God of life and love,
truth and purity, has compassion for life and the perpetuation of
life. My God is the very essence and source of life and consciousness
which only seeks to help keep itself living. Beleive it or not, this
is my destiny. To keep life living. It is everybody's destiny to find
the truth within themselves and keep it going, some just don't realize
what they are doing. Whether they admit it or not, their soul knows
what to do. There is no denying the calls of life. Sooner or later
everybody HAS TO FACE THEIR DESTINY, THEMSELVES, AND THE TRUTH OF GOD.
Trying to stop this from occuring is like trying to stop the sun from
rising. It all happens in due time.

How can this be a waste of time if it is my hearts calling?
I am doing the work I was appointed to do.

Are you?

"You have to open the eye of the heart, the eye that sees everything
clearly.
And once you open that eye, you'll realize that you were already
buddha even before creation and that you are and always will be
enlightend.
That is what we mean by seeing your buddha nature, your original face.

Once you open the eye and see everything as it is, you'll realize that
"mountains are mountains and waters are waters."

http://www.koreanbuddhism.net/master/dharma_talk_view.asp?cat_seq=32&content_seq=212&priest_seq=6&page=1


It seems we have Buddhists speaking of opening the third eye and also
opening the eye of the heart. Do these contrast? Logic vs Emotion? Can
they be used in conjunction? Which sees more clearly?

Give me some more time to study.
