There also appeared to be a moon impact, it was the night when Usain Bolt won gold in the 200m. The day after there was a lot of omens in the clouds, later it began to rain. At the time I was listening to the Christian radio, it said it was time to whitewash the gravestones. I had a flash of inspiration and decided to collect some rainwater and thought I would ask god to empower a cup containing the rainwater. Then I took a piece of paper and drew some gravestones in charcoal then got some water-colour paints and the rainwater. I also mixed some of the rainwater from the cup in some mixing solution, which I liberally painted it on the paper. Dipped my paintbrush in the cup chose a colour and flicked paint at the paper, repeated the process just over a dozen times, with various colours. Then sat and looked at the painting. After a few seconds the painting came alive, like a supernatural cartoon.<br /> At first it became a shield. Then it showed me a river that had a dog like character to the side of it which appeared to be talking. Obviously, I couldn’t hear what it was saying, and I didn’t have any voices in my head, but I guess it was talking to me through the pictures. Then the picture changed into a shield. Next it showed me a man in a captain’s hat, in a dock surrounded by books. I painted a bird in the top left comer expecting it to walk around or something, but it never did. Then it became a shield for a final time before it loosely became the image it is now, but it was animated. The torched clown was straining and the dog character wearing green sunglasses was blowing kisses at me. Its lips were getting bigger and more exaggerated and the clown continued to strain. I thought it was taking the mickey, so I wafted my hand at it. After a second it ceased to be animated and it became the form that it is now. The main part of the image, the centre. Shows a tortured clown with a big red nose and his gritted teeth, with spit coming out the side. This image if you look at it slightly differently shows a bull or even a sheep. Then in the centre where the clown’s nose is it is the lip of the dog’s mouth, its waring green sunglasses. Behind him is an alien type character with a painted clowns face. When I was displaying it one time someone said to me is this the image where every part of it means something, so I'll let you decide on the rest. The next images I'm afraid are slightly affected by me, as I had a large cup of rainwater, and a big ambition to paint all day.</p><p>The next image, I fancied some love in the place, so I painted a big pink heart. Little did I know that when I sweepped the mixing solution over one side it would give me the image you see now when you consider how I arrived at this result its very clear and very detailed. Its salt or oil for a very controversial subject.</p><p> I couldn’t resist the symbolism, but at this point I was quite high, and the image had been very matter of fact. Without realising I was running out of painting time, I decided to draw a pack of cards and a gun. Painted mixing solution over the whole painting. Then flicked paint on the paper. It stared to flash up lots of different images of faces, just for a few seconds at a time. I painted symbolism and wrote on the painting as it flashed. I finally came to rest on this face underneath the gun. It’s very small, and it was difficult to do it justice with the photography. It shows the mask of a monster with the nose cut off, and an old man with a beard behind it.</p><p>In hindsight if I knew that I only had time to paint these three then I would have taken a different approach. I'll try again when the pesedes come through, if the conditions are right but I think it might have been the moon impact that was special. Since I found it might be the cups and I'm looking for omens in the clouds</p><p>.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8109412658,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8109412658,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8109412658?profile=original" /></a></p></div>The Key of Andromedahttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/the-key-of-andromeda-12020-03-15T18:00:00.000Z2020-03-15T18:00:00.000ZPedro Eliashttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/PedroElias<div><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8109407075,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8109407075,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="750" class="align-center" alt="8109407075?profile=original" /></a></strong></p><p></p><p><strong>THE KEY OF ANDROMEDA</strong></p><p><span>After the discovery, in Egypt, of the City of Gods, Isabel, an archeologist, sets off in search of another quest, this time of inner nature, traveling through different places on the planet.

This includes many curious religious works that have been misidentified as Catholic.</p><p>There is a long history of the people behind the artworks that predates the Bible. There is also a long history of these artworks being stolen or hidden away or misidentified/renamed up to present day. And there is a long political history of the people, artists, and models behind these paintings. They were persecuted to death by Rome, then the Catholic Church under Papal Bull until 1809 AD, and now denied existence by modern Jewish and Christian peoples and relegated to fairytale.</p><p>All of the artworks are by important master artists and have had people loose their lives, and at times whole families and towns, to protect these works, which only a few scholars and researchers know about. </p><p> The controversial story of these works and the people behind them could give the general public the truths and tools they need to drop their weapons.</p><p>Research web site <a href="http://www.sangraaltruth.com">http://www.sangraaltruth.com</a></p><p>Facebook page with notes and examples <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sangraaltruth">http://www.facebook.com/sangraaltruth</a></p><p>Thank you for your time and interest and any help or advice.</p><p>Sincerely</p><p></p></div>The Way of the Grail "The Joining" 3 August 12 - Lady Morgainehttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/the-way-of-the-grail-the-joining-3-august-12-lady-morgaine2012-08-04T00:55:14.000Z2012-08-04T00:55:14.000ZLady Morgainehttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/LadyMorgaine<div><p></p><p>Light Touches - The Way of the Grail</p><p>“The Joining”</p><p>Transmissions from Avalon Rising - 3 Aug 12</p><p></p><p>by Lady Morgaine</p><p></p><p>Blessings, All Beings of the Great Universal Love!</p><p></p><p>Can you hear Avalon calling? With ravens, eagles, unicorns, butterflies, fairies - heavenly life of relaxation, renewal and divine expression of caring and loving each other from wholeness.</p><p></p><p>I am here today to further a vision which has been held in the hearts of the priestesses of Avalon and the Great Goddess for a very long time. We come together with no animosity, regrets, judgments or sorrow for all was perfect and will be perfect Forever More. We cannot express to you how delighted we are at this time of the Beloved Ascension into Great Light to be closer to you now with our hearts open for you to partake in this love, for there is always an endless supply to be shining as, with and from within. </p><p></p><p>Mother Earth projects Her sacred requests to her Children in Essence. We at Avalon are reverenced by a responsibility to assist in very specific and communal ways. </p><p></p><p>All humanity to a certain degree has been aware of and more over been participating in the rejection and decline of feminine energy. This in symbology, the Sword and the Sacred Holy Grail of Camelot was returned to the Great Goddess for safe keeping until this prophetic time. Sequestered as nuns in a monastery our Great Mother with her discerning Sword and Grail of Cosmic Design and Love is returning to this planet called Earth to assist Her Greatness throughout the “time” of light advancement - the continuation of Her Grande Promenade, the Return into Royalty.</p><p></p><p>Obvious to us in Avalon, all religious practices of Earth peoples were to be revered as sacred without judgment or prejudice toward any. And in this regard, all ceremony of Light, however grande or petite, would forever be regarded as divine offering. </p><p></p><p>Partaking of the Grail - a most sacred offering found its way into churches and cathedrals. Drinking from the Chalice was not only a request to participate with saints and angels, but was also intended to join together humanity just as the Knights of Old sharing their hearts and minds at the Round Table. </p><p></p><p>We would like to address now and encourage you to reinterpret many images of your saints which have been seen as having painfully suffered. To some degree these images and statues were created for you to fear a personal relationship with your Creator and those who dedicated their lives to service, compassion and the expression of divine wisdom. Although a life of Service wasn’t always perfect, living as Divine Peace within held a KNOWING of sacred trust. This trust eliminated all fear of the unseen. From this knowing and trust the angels and saints courageously fulfilled great missions of love and light.</p><p></p><p>This is the invitation during this very auspicious month. of August. An invitation to release all fears, hesitancies, judgments and doubt. Although you have heard these words presented in various ways many times, I want to ask certain Lightworkers who have been so committed over many years, even decades, to step out further in a most elementary and simple way, as the Path and Ways of Avalon and the Great Mother are beautiful as a single rose.</p><p></p><p>The Way of the Grail is about a Great Gift, about it’s receiving and also about its sharing. The Sacred Grail is round like the Round Table of Camelot. Shared from within its shape and symbology it reminds that all are truly ONE and the ONE is the All. There is no beginning and there is no end to this Receptacle of Plenty Love. The Cosmic Grail Cup is endless, and in a very geometric way is the divine curve which connects all life, everywhere. </p><p></p><p>Sometimes from within the passion of a “mission” albeit necessary in its design a bigger message for community may be precluded. Lightworkers from all over the globe have given to the world and Her humanity many gifts of spiritual awakenings in the form of meditations, prayers and healings. To these delightful spiritual promoters and all other teachers of truth, love and light we request the joining of your love and light energies with each other, for mass ascension.</p><p></p><p> “To Mend the Hoop”, is the cry of the Lakota... their message of the Joining Up. As seen from above, “pockets” of light have been activated around your planet. These individual light centers whether of an individual or from community serve the Greater by joining as one “solid state”... connected light from one center to another to another, and so on. A magical, brilliantly alive divine fractal of Universal Love!</p><p></p><p>Now is the time to ask your heart how you might do this without a raison d’etre - to simply say “hello, how are you?” This Joining Up is not just a pleasantry but a needed construction for the Advancement of your Ra Solar System, the whole Milky Way Galaxy and Beyond. Do you realize a simple phone call or email to a “stranger” will make the difference? It is true none of you are strangers although most have been living lives of desperate separation. This was due to the patriarchal design which created environments of competition rather than cooperation and now is the hour for a looking toward and alignment within the Divine Feminine energies of love and compassion.</p><p></p><p>Here in Avalon, unity is preliminary. Unless studying a particular personal lesson, all is created in community - our feasts, ceremonies, gardens, buildings and dressings. In this manner in all ways we celebrate the sacred design of love as it is always in motion from one heart to another which keeps the internal fires burning for all.</p><p></p><p>I Bless You in your personal Quest of the Holy Grail. For what was once lost is now again Found! May you always be at Peace, Beauty and Blissful Yearnings for the Goddess and Her Heart!</p><p></p><p>I thank you... And So It All Is!</p><p></p><p>Lady Morgaine</p><p>High Priestess, Avalon of the Stars!</p></div>In the Realm Of the Ring Lords (A great Article)https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/in-the-realm-of-the-ring-lords2010-03-31T10:52:10.000Z2010-03-31T10:52:10.000ZAnthemhttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/Anthem<div>Another essay I found with great information, I will copy part of the article as it is very long.

It's only ten monthsago, I guess, but in the past few months Genesis of the Grail Kingshas been completed, published and is already making a significantimpact in Britain, with launches now taking place further afield.<br /><br />Duncan has asked me to begin by giving some background about myselfonce again. I am involved with a number of organizations - theCeltic Church being one in particular, for which I'm the Grand Priorin Britain [that is, the Celtic Church of the Sacred Kindred of StColumba]. Not necessarily that the established Church organizationslike the Celtic movement very much, but that's the way of it. I amalso appointed as a Presidential Attaché to an organization calledThe European Council of Princes.<br /><br />The Council was founded in 1946, directly after the War, and theobject was fairly straightforward. (In fact, some of the financingactually came from this country [Australia], and a lot from Americaas well). It was at a time when there was a tremendous fear aboutthe build-up of further extremist right-wing factions, and there wasalso the fear that the communist left-wing might take a hold inEurope. It was decided, therefore, to set up a watchdog committeecalled The International Council of Government, whose brief was tokeep an eye on the extreme political factions.</font><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">As it transpired, it didn't have verymuch to keep an eye on and, once the European Common Market cameinto being, it became much more involved with that from the 1960s.The Council quite liked the idea of the trading agreements and thegeneral mutuality, although it doesn't like things too much in theway they have now developed within the European Union.<br /><br />About ten tears ago, the Council changed its name to become TheEuropean Council of Princes. With the eventual establishment of theEuropean Parliament, there could hardly be a Council of Governmentas well. In fact, the Council was not a government at all: it wassimply an advisory body consisting of thirty-three European royalhouses. These might be reigning houses, dispossessed houses ordeposed houses but, whatever the case, various princes andprincesses of these families formed the Council.</font></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">For the longest time now, theirobjective has been a fairly simple one, and that is to look afterthe constitutional clauses within the various nation states(European countries, with the exception of Britain, have WrittenConstitutions). And so, when the European Parliament decides toenact this new law or impose that new dictate, the Council ofPrinces is able to say, "Look, you can't actually do that because itcontravenes, say, clause 7 in subsection (b) of the Constitution ofthis or that country".<br /><br />The <i>Council of Princes</i> is not especially political - it is more of asocial Council in practice; and I am appointed as an Attaché byvirtue of the fact that its President since 1992 has been HRH PrinceMichael of Albany, the current heir to the Royal House of Stuart -the House that was deposed in Britain from 1688.<br /><br />The House of Stuart, having taken over the presidency of the Councilfrom the House of Habsburg-Austria, related it to its one-time RoyalAcademy, which was a very scientific establishment. In fact, in the1700s in particular, it was highly Rosicrucian - very scientific andalchemical. From the time of <b>Robert the Bruce</b>, the Chancellor ofthat organization was given the title <i>Prince Saint Germain</i>. Thistitle had little to do with the 5th-century saint himself (exceptindirectly), but it had to do ultimately with the Stuart Royal Courtin France, at the Palace of Saint Germain.<br /><br />The Chancellor title was changed in the 1700s to Count Saint Germain,and in the 1890s it was changed again to become Chevalier SaintGermain. My present title is that of Chevalier Saint Germain - whichis where the knighthood comes from. As distinct from an Englishknighthood, mine is a Franco-Scot distinction attached to the StuartRoyal Court of France [as ratified by King Louis XIV in 1692], inthe key <i>Noble Order of the Royal Palace of Saint Germain-en-Laye</i>,near Paris.<br /><br />Being a Stuart supporter, I am not really a great fan of the Houseof Hanover, as you know. However, I have now become attached to aparticular Hanoverian establishment. The oldest antiquarian societyin the world, constituted by the House of Hanover [by charter ofKing George III of Britain] in the middle 1700s, is an associationcalled the Society of Antiquaries which, in Scotland, forms anadjunct to Historic Scotland - a Government department. Well, as anon-fan of the House of Hanover, I was privileged and delighted afew months ago to be made a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries ofScotland - so it rather looks as if I've been blessed to have alittle bit of a foot in the establishment's academic camp.<br /><br />Now, back to where we are today. I have to begin of course bythanking Duncan and the NEXUS team for affording me the opportunityto link my first Australian visit for the new book,<a target="_blank" href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biblianazar/esp_biblianazar_21.htm"><font color="#0000DD">Genesis of theGrail Kings</font></a>, with the NEXUS Conference. And I would like to thankthose of you who, since I was last here, have written to me. Some ofyou may have had a reply by now; my correspondence was more or lessup to date around Christmas, but it has fallen behind again. So, ifyou're still waiting, please bear with me; I will respond.<br /><br />I first began to talk publicly about the subject matter of <i>Genesisof the Grail Kings</i> back in October 1997 and, indeed, we covered agood deal of related ground at the NEXUS Conference last July. So,with the book now completed and published, I guess the time has cometo move on to other things in preparation for future works.<br /><br />Originally, and beginning with<a target="_blank" href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biblianazar/esp_biblianazar_11.htm"><font color="#0000DD">Bloodline of the Holy Grail</font></a>, I hadplanned for a series of three books on the Grail theme, coveringsome 6,000 years of Messianic inheritance from the time of Adam,through King David and <i>Jesus</i>, down to the present day. However, inthe course of compiling this genealogical descent and itsfascinating history, the concept for another book has arisen. Thishas come about more by popular demand than by strategic planning,and I have become so enthused with the idea that there will now befour books in this particular series. It is, in fact, about thisfourth book (rather than the immediate Genesis successor) that Iwould like to speak today.</font></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><br /></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><br /></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">To read it is in its entirety go here: <br /></font></p><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_dragoncourt13.htm">http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_dragoncourt13.htm</a><br /></font></p><br /><p style="margin:0pt 2px 0pt 6px;" align="center"></p><br /></div>The Fisher Kinghttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/the-fisher-king2009-06-27T18:30:00.000Z2009-06-27T18:30:00.000ZURMEhttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/URME<div><center><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8108598869,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="590" height="421" /><p></p>It begins with the king as a boy, having to spend the night alone in the forest to prove his courage so he can become king. Now while he is spending the night alone he's visited by a sacred vision. Out of the fire appears the holy grail, symbol of God's divine grace. And a voice said to the boy, "You shall be keeper of the grail so that it may heal the hearts of men." But the boy was blinded by greater visions of a life filled with power and glory and beauty. And in this state of radical amazement he felt for a brief moment not like a boy, but invincible, like God, so he reached into the fire to take the grail, and the grail vanished, leaving him with his hand in the fire to be terribly wounded. Now as this boy grew older, his wound grew deeper. Until one day, life for him lost its reason. He had no faith in any man, not even himself. He couldn't love or feel loved. He was sick with experience. He began to die. One day a fool wandered into the castle and found the king alone. And being a fool, he was simple minded, he didn't see a king. He only saw a man alone and in pain. And he asked the king, "What ails you friend?" The king replied, "I'm thirsty. I need some water to cool my throat". So the fool took a cup from beside his bed, filled it with water and handed it to the king. As the king began to drink, he realized his wound was healed. He looked in his hands and there was the holy grail, that which he sought all of his life. And he turned to the fool and said with amazement, "How can you find that which my brightest and bravest could not?" And the fool replied, "I don't know. I only knew that you were thirsty."<img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8108598886,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="599" height="105" /></center></div>
