Coming Soon - Quantum Mind of God DVD




"We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." Max Planck

What is the meaning of existence? Is there a Grand Architect? Is there an ultimate truth searched for by countless generations and lost in the mists of time?

Today we have a new science, a new terminology to explain and expound upon the biggest beliefs and religious systems. It has become apparent that the truth and understanding of our inner-selves is, in the end, our ultimate quest. The void between belief and reality is indicative of the troubled planet we live on. As we all approach a dynamic future, the answers will emerge although they might not be what we?re expecting.

2012 and a Message for Mankind


In 2012 so we are told there will be a change. To some this is the massive solar flames licking the earth like a giant dog. To others the world as we know it will end and a new era of awakening will occur. To others still it is scare mongering yet again - an act that has haunted the mind of humanity for millennia, from within the very mind of man. Mankind has spent thousands of years manifesting the inward sight into the outward world. He has built great structures from his imagination. He has formed nations from desire and crucified himself to save his soul. But what are we doing with this latest millennium bug or black death? Have we really read the Mayan prophecies correctly, or in 2013 when nothing has happened, save for a flawed London Olympics and a few possible space explorations, will we simply re-code the whole thing and start it up again? I don't know, do you?

I have no idea whether the Mayan culture could have read the sun spots with holes in leafs like camera-obscura and predicted this time of change, if indeed there is one, but all times change. Each generation has seen good and bad, up and down, great discoveries and horrendous disasters. By worrying we add to the collective mindset of worry; by not caring we fall into an age old trap whereby we end up not caring about anything - our minds seem pre-ordained to spiral. Unless.... unless we continue.. just that, continue.

Man has been on this planet for a long time, and before that others were here and they also had imagination, religion, faith and watched for cycles. Neanderthal man 80,000 years ago was religious to a degree. He wasn't an alien, he was an inhabitant of earth, earth born and earth caring. I bet he too worried and predicted.

A lesson? Be balanced, be loving, whatever the truth, continue.

These age-old truths are found in the texts and symbols of our ancestors, who had time to think, not race and chase with a mobile phone glued to their space-age head like some extra from a Doctor Who show. Time to think, time to continue. Wisdom within, the Divine within, no need of others, or scares or fear trips, just contemplative intuitive connection to the whole - to nature. These sacred truths are at the centre of my new book and DVD, The Ark, The Shroud and Mary, and they form the central thread throughout time - the essence, the baraka. The kind of wisdom that teaches us to know ourselves, to trust our intuitive state, to be balanced and to accept responsibility for our thoughts and deeds, is the kind of wisdom I turn to, not prophecies that I cannot do anything about.

Continue.

Diamonds tell tale of comet that killed off the cavemen
Subject: Recent Discoveries

Fireballs set half the planet ablaze, wiping out the mammoth and America's Stone Age hunters.
Scientists will outline dramatic evidence this week that suggests a comet exploded over the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago, creating a hail of fireballs that set fire to most of the northern hemisphere.

Primitive Stone Age cultures were destroyed and populations of mammoths and other large land animals, such as the mastodon, were wiped out. The blast also caused a major bout of climatic cooling that lasted 1,000 years and seriously disrupted the development of the early human civilisations that were emerging in Europe and Asia.

Thought Provoking

A very thought provoking video

Saturday, May 12, 2007

What a Day

Blimey, what a day. We took the dogs for a walk with the kids this morning to a local nature reserve where guys fish. We walked for a bit then saw a coot tangled up in fishing wire on the end of a crack willow that was hanging right out into the lake. It was wriggling and squirming and couldn't get loose. We asked a fisherman if we could borrow a net to get it back, but it wasn't long enough. Then a ranger came by and he was too old to do anything. He fetched a grappling hook and we threw it out to crack the willow and release the bird. Didn't work, the grappling hook got caught in the tree and we couldn't get it back. Nobody could do anything. So I took off my jacket, put my wallet and phone in the pockets and jumped in. It was freezing and completely took my breath away. My heart began to pound in my chest and my breath became very short, it felt as though I was being squashed. I swam out as the current started to pull me away and I grabbed onto a length of willow, which snapped and I had to kick hard to keep afloat. Eventually I got to the poor bird and pulled on the willow and it snapped. Then I had to go back to release the grappling hook.

When I finally got back to shore, all one local could say was how stupid it was to jump in and save a "life". I couldn't care if it was a mouse, rat or human, all have lives and that bird was there because of the fishermans stupidity and not securing his line.

We took the bird to a nearby rangers hut and had to cut off its hanging foot, the whole foot had simply come away and was hanging by a piece of flesh, my wife being an animal expert made sure it was clean and was a good cut. We let the coot go in the water and it swam away lovely to a small island. My fingers are now crossed that it can survive, at least it's spring.

After all that I eventually got home freezing and shivering, had a warm bath and my skin changed colours like David Ickes reptilian shapeshifters.

The moral of the story, please please fishermen, look after your lines, the birds don't see them hanging in trees and floating in water.

Secrets of the Stars: Tracing the Origins of Ancient Cults and Cabals



Man collects into groups, like schools of fish and flocks of birds. These groups become religions, secret societies, governments and cults. The reasons for these groupings are the same as it is for animals banding together. We come together for protection against predators, for strength in numbers. Whether you are a Freemason or a Boy Scout, the reason you join forces with others of like-race and like-mind is to gain strength and protection.

In the extensive research for my new book and DVD (due end of June), Secret Societies: Gardiner's Forbidden Knowledge, Revelations About the Freemasons, Templars, Illuminati, Nazis, and the Serpent Cults, I found that, historically, the secret societies of the world are all connected and all derive from a similar if not the same source, and that the threads running through them all have been traced by scholars throughout the ages.

As Le Couteulx de Canteleu said in his Les Sectes et Societes Secretes published in 1863: "All secret societies have almost analogous initiations, from the Egyptian to the Illuminati, and most of them form a chain and give rise to others."

According to an article published in the Patriot 1922 by G.G. or 'Dargon', entitled "The Anatomy of Revolution",

"For centuries there have existed certain schools of mystical philosophy (with) . . . elements of Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Egyptian occultism mingled with Grecian mysteries, Jewish Kabalism, and fragments of ancient Syrian cults. Out of the hodge-podge of Oriental philosophy, magic, and mythology arose . . Gnostic sects, and after the rise of Mohammedanism, heretical sects. . . To the same sources may be traced the ideas that inspired such political-religious movements of the Middle Ages as the Illuminati, Albigenses, Cathari, Waldenses, Troubadours, Anabaptists, and Lollards and the rise of early secret societies. The Templars are said to have been initiated by the Assassins into anti-Christian and subversive mysteries, and we find similar traces of an old and occult origin in the Alchemists, the Rosicrucians, and later mystical cults . . "

This "analogous" form running through all secret societies is the underlying belief in and worship of the stars. It is this element which named them the shining ones and it is this element that is still at the root of so much misinterpreted symbolism. Even the Holy Vehm were "wissends" who had the sun and the stars as symbols of power. This worship of the stars was known as Sabeism and the high Mason, Albert Pike, pointed out: "The seven great primitive nations, from whom all others are descended, the Persians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Egyptians, Turks, Indians, and Chinese, were all originally Sabeists and worshipped the stars."

The very power of understanding the stars was jealously guarded by priesthoods around the world, from Aztec to Egyptian. The role of the priest was to interpret the movements of the stars, sun, and moon, in order to predict the future and for navigation. This jealousy forged ciphers, codes and symbols and forced the hiding and destruction of implements and tools of the trade. Many of the Freemasonic symbols we see today were never meant for building, they were meant for astrology and the logic of the stars.

These secrets of the stars were mystical to the early peoples who could not understand the magic. Secrets were passed from one generation to the next by initiates and adepts and this is how the long thread was woven, by passing on knowledge and keeping it hidden. Eventually, the secret brotherhoods no longer knew why they kept their odd symbols secret and why they said strange invocations. Yet, through tradition and dedication to their brothers, they kept alive a rich tapestry, a tapestry that I and other scholars can break down and interpret.

Hidden History
We must pull hard on the thread to unravel the tapestry, one generation at a time. According to Le Couteulx de Canteleu, the priests or leading men of the organisations followed the Egyptian hierarchy. At the highest level, there was the priest, who alone could do magic and contact the gods. At the second, we find the greater initiates, those chosen from the people and who must maintain secrecy at all costs and protect the priesthood. At the third, the lesser initiates were only told things that were deemed proper.

In this hierarchical trinity, we see the plan of most, if not all, of the world?s secret societies. The majority of Freemasons today fall into the category of the lesser initiates; they seek no more because they know of no more. Only at the highest degrees in Freemasonry are the real secrets revealed, and yet there have been some who claim to have been higher-level initiates or indeed "priests" and who have since "spilled the beans". Anyone who has seen these supposed secrets of white powdered gold and even Jewish conspiracy plots will know that this is misinformation at best and money-making at worst.

Lessons for Today
Each generation tends to look forward, forgetting that our past holds intelligent and thought provoking answers to questions that are and will always be relevant. Because we begin each generation afresh, we do not see the thread running through each generation from the one before-the thread of the secret society.

In the 20th century, psychology and psychoanalysis emerged, and the clever new words that came with them. Yet, why are we arrogant enough to believe that we discovered the root of human psychological problems? This is utter rubbish-Psyche herself was a Greek goddess.

For thousands of years, man has sought answers to the conundrums of his own inner reality-the only radical change is the wording. When we say that a person is psychotic, our ancestors would have said they were touched by the spirits. Are we more advanced than our ancestors?

90% of the world's population still believes in God, yet, we still rage war in the name of religion and we pollute the environment and destroy our own homes. There is anthropological evidence to prove that ancient man was peaceful, living in harmony with his neighbor and respecting the earth and living in balance with it. As populations grew and more people occupied smaller spaces, minor wars erupted and even, violent sacrifices. Small bands of men gathered together to control those who fought, and these small bands emerged as our kings and queens, medicine men and priests, and our secret societies.

There is a lesson here for us all. Just 100 years ago, a billion people lived on the planet. Now, there are six billion and growing. Six billion people can do a lot of harm to themselves and the environment, destroying the whole for everyone. Without balance, without wisdom, without knowledge, where are we heading?

We may believe that some spark in the bio-chemical and electric brain is enlightenment, yet, it is not. Our masters tell us what to be like, what to buy, what to do and say. We no longer need to know ourselves-the TV has all the answers. And yet, what we see on TV is a reflection of greed, money and capitalism and these can be interpreted as the dark forces of human nature. Light and dark are opposite sides of the same coin. Balance is wisdom, like a coin placed upon its edge, and like a coin, it can easily be knocked over.

I desire a good life that does not include a range of cars, a yacht in every port or another million. I am a realist, and the reality is that while one man has, another does not. My evolutionary instinct is to gather goods, property and wealth for the bad times ahead, to see me through the winter or the coming storm. The down side of this is that we grow that divisive side of our nature, greed, and somebody somewhere suffers. We join forces with others and hold our newfound cabal in secrecy, protecting it until time matures the original intention until it becomes unrecognizable-these are the origins of the secret societies of the ancients.

The ancient Chinese texts tell us that mankind has been in this situation before many times and that his greed and 'noise' has brought his civilization crashing down to the ground. How close are we to doing it yet again? How 'noisy' are we?

Tunnel to re-open at mystery hill


BBC report

English Heritage is conducting stabilisation work at the site Engineers are to re-open a tunnel that goes deep inside the ancient monument of Silbury Hill in Wiltshire.

The tunnel, dug in 1968, was the last made over many centuries by archaeologists exploring the site.

Engineers are planning to stabilise the 5,000-year-old structure, which is believed to be the world's largest man-made prehistoric mound.

Archaeologists will also try to unlock the site's ancient secrets and find out how, why and when it was built.

Earlier this year, archaeologists found traces of a Roman settlement at the landmark.

English Heritage, which is conducting the stabilising work, believes there was a Roman community at Silbury Hill about 2,000 years ago. It says the site may have been a sacred place of pilgrimage.

The 130ft Neolithic mound near Avebury - one of Europe's largest prehistoric monuments - is thought to have been created some 3,000 years earlier.

Heavy rains in May 2000 caused substantial damage to the hill, with the collapse of an 18th century shaft.

Parts of the ancient site are thought to be collapsing because of the tunnels dug by archaeologists over many centuries.

After prising open the tunnel's sealed door on Friday, engineers are expected to spend four months, filling the tunnels with hundreds of cubic tonnes of chalk to stabilise the structure.

Archaeologists will also be going into the hill, hoping that modern science can solve the mystery of why the hill was built in the first place.

Will this be a dig in the dirt? Or will this reveal something new about the mound? What was the purpose? There have been many theories, such as a stargate, a meditation chamber, burial mound, star aligned astral observatory and even a landing base for alien craft. Personally my money is on it being a home to faeries...

Help Save the Animals

Here's WHY!

To thousands of holiday-makers the Algarve is one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring locations on the planet. It has a wonderful coastline, perfect weather, pretty houses, spa resorts and a very interesting history.

Last year I took my family there for a Christmas break to escape the commercialism of our Western world and relax in the warmth of the Portuguese sun. I got more than I bargained for.

Feeding a starving mountain dog (the other two were resue dogs we took for a walk up the mountains to find the strays). Doing this everyday builds confidence in the stray, because all she had ever known from a human was getting kicked and beaten!


This wonderful part of the world is the home to the likes of our devout rock and roll personality Cliff Richard, and Dad's Army star Clive Dunn. It is also home to thousands of rich golfers and yachts men, all going about there daily business, soaking up the sun and spending huge amounts of money on their own entertainment. And yet, there remains a terrible secret to this holiday haven, a secret that shames the Portuguese - and mankind in general. It is a secret that local government officials take great efforts to keep undercover and a secret that I intend to reveal and use to shame the conscience of mankind into action.

You see there is a great and terrible suffering in the Algarve that is hidden from our eyes. Starving, brutality and almost institutional torture are rife. But this time, it is not ourselves we inflict this punishment upon; it is not human kind, which could not in this case be called virtuous. Instead it is the most innocent of sentient beings we could possibly imagine - the animals.

In this beautiful Garden of Eden, we torture, murder and starve animals without giving it a second thought and regardless of how much effort one special woman has put in over the course of twenty five years - the process continues unabated and untold.

You see, this cruel phenomena is not new in the Algarve, it is instead an old story - albeit hushed up. Twenty five years ago a unique individual by the name of Bridget Hicks moved to the Algarve to change the situation. In her time there Bridget created LAPS - the Lagos Animal Protection Society - and set about raising money and saving animals from all-manner of abuse. You see there was such an array of abuse that she found there, that Bridget and others like her struggled to make a difference - especially against the complete lack of interest by the authorities.

During her time, Bridget has managed to make some difference though. Those cats and dogs brought in to the authorities kennels used to be put down with strychnine, which simply kills with pain, causing a slow, lingering and painful death. Bridget managed to get this changed. But there is much more to do.

There are also those who come into the Algarve to provide what some call entertainment, but which in effect cause suffering on a level that we can only imagine. One of these is Circo Atlas, a French circus, which hides abuse and about which nothing is done. There is a polar bear - a beautiful animal that has evolved in the cold of the polar region - kept inside a small cage in the boiling heat of the Portuguese sun. When Bridget and others complained bitterly, the bear was given a standard home fan to keep cool, reducing the temperature by a factor of 0. There was a horse, so malnourished that its bones were sticking through its skin. Local donkeys half-starved and half dead, are brought in as live meat for the sorrowful looking caged lion. Pathetic looking monkeys are kept in cages just big enough to turn around in and a hippopotamus is kept in a dirty enclosure not big enough for a small rodent. This whole so-called entertainment fiasco is frequented by the Portuguese and tourists alike without any knowledge of the conditions of the animals. The following pictures we gathered whilst there will tell the tale:


Circus Horse starved to near death


Caged and starving monkeys

This bear should be wild instead it lives in cramped and sweltering conditions

On another score myself and my wife returned to the Algarve recently and saw first hand some of the suffering caused by ignorance and lack of compassion.

We visited Bridget in the Odiexere region and she took us to a local dam where one of the local water board workers breeds hunting dogs. Constant litters are produced and puppies selected for sale. Those puppies that do not make the grade are either kicked to death or set free to starve in the dry, arid heat of the mountains. The temperature here gets so hot that the Algarve is prone to many fires, which seem to be a regular occurrence and accepted by one and all. This is the landscape these newly born and innocent little beings are let loose in. We went to the breeders house, but no-one was home. This not very gentle-man has even threatened Bridget on several occasions - an aged, half blind and half-crippled old lady.

High on the beautiful landscape of the Odiexere region is a marvellous little restaurant run by a caring couple, one Portuguese and one from the Netherlands. Outside this oasis are tables and chairs where you can sit quietly and enjoy the warmth of the evening sun and drink a beer or two. As you sit there, the ghost-like figures of these beautiful sentient beings emerge from the woods looking for our scraps of food. The pain and discomfort caused by their sorrowful descent to death from lack of nutrition and regular abuse causes them to moan out load. A perfect evening is shattered by the conscience as you feel ashamed to be human. What we saw there brought tears to our eyes. Half-dead dogs running around with their skeletal frames visible through their flea bitten and lice infested skin. We spent our evenings feeding and trying to attract these innocent little lives into our car, but to no avail. They are simply too afraid of humans, and yet come to them, still with a small element of trust and faith in us for food.
Our last evening was heart breaking as we made a final attempt to save a bony female that my wife had found impossible to get out of her mind. This time the little lady dog had been joined by her equally distraught brother, who still had the strength to protect his sister. We tried in vain to save the two dogs. Finally we drove back to Bridget's house and through the dozens of barking, happy and saved dogs up to her front door. Bridget had managed to save one of the litter from the mountain and there in her outstretched frail arms was one of the most beautiful and sorrowful dogs I have ever seen. It was another sentient being, in the loving arms of a human who had compassion, taken from the arms of a world in which it knew not how to survive. We breed these poor souls and then we abuse them. We let them loose into a world they are not prepared for and they die slow horrible diseased deaths because of us. And all the time we drive around this holiday escape spending our money ignorant of the suffering that is going on right under our noses.





The wonderful Bridget Hicks with a puppy saved while we were there from certain death. The puppy was terrified, starved and beaten, we never did get the other one...



What we need to do, if we feel the draw of our own inward compassion is to act in anyway we can. We need to raise the conscience of those doing these barbaric acts; we need to stop the breeding programmes of people like our water board man; we need to get the cats and dogs neutered; we need to show the animals, who look up to us with their big dark seal-like eyes, that we care.





Puppy, chained and starved from its birth!



What can we do? You can contact either of the centres below and offer help or you can contact me and I will do my best to put you in touch with the right people. Alternatively you can donate money to these animals via me and I will pass this on in practical aid with the help of my wife who will be working on this project full time soon. We will also be setting up a volunteer bureau of like-minded people who wish to get their hands dirty and go out to the Algarve to help.


Now Do Something!


Well you could donate to the cause here

Or write a letter. Here's how and who to!



Effective Letter Writing


Letter Content
Make sure your letter is addressed to a named individual (instead of "Dear Sir or Madame"). Contact information for political representatives can be found at your local library or via the Internet.


Be polite but firm.
Keep your letter short and to the point.
Make sure the information you give is factually correct.
Be clear about what you want to see happen - tell them exactly what action you would like them to take and make it as concrete as possible.

Key to the Code

Here's a promo piece of a coming film featuring Tim Wallace-Murphy on the secrets of symbols and their sacred nature. It is a very profound film and one that has to be watched again and again to get to the depths of understanding. It will be out later this year.



We talk a lot about the "baraka", the sacred transition of information from adept to initiate and that has been ongoing for thousands of years and as I state and explain in my new book and DVD, The Ark,The Shroud and Mary. It's amazing stuff, and very "occult" - hidden....

Reality signs HillBilly Prophet


Legendary artist the Hillbilly Prophet has been seen and heard on the musical streets from Memphis to Nashville to the Black Hills of Arkansas, the source of true American blue grass and folk music.
Once signed to Decca in the early 70's, the Prophet then known as M. Smythe, had a top ten single with "When She Comes a Callin". After refusing to make another record for Decca in 1974, the HBP never recorded again but remained a mysterious enigma, often engaging in lengthy stays gigging in London or Amsterdam.
With his debut album, "Re-Align The Lines" the Hillbilly Prophet has a profound message about the future and conveys it in a way that will resonate in your soul.
