Odu and the Ifa Concept of History, Part IV -
The African Perspective

by Awo Fa'lokun Fatunmbi

An examination of history based on the oral traditions of Egyptian and Yoruba culture presents a radically different view of the accomplishments of our ancient African ancestors than the information presented by the mass media and is in stark contrast to the paradigm propagated by orthodox academic dogma. From the perspective of Ifa spiritual discipline this conflict in historical perspectives can cause serious problems. Communication with the ancestors (egun) is a fundamental component of the Ifa liturgical process. We run the risk of limiting our own good fortune by failing to appreciate the depth of wisdom available to us through serious dialogue with those who have come before us. If we do not believe the ancients were able to use stones structures to generate energy we will never ask them to tell us how it is done. If we do not believe the ancients where able to create inter-dimensional portals we will never know what is on the other side of the veil. Our understanding of the past informs us about who we are and inspires our vision of who we can become. The "official" version of history would have us to believe that Africa was a "primitive" place isolated from the rest of humanity until it embraced Christianity, a place that remains unable to govern itself and unable to develop its natural resources. The lie has been told so often and so well that anyone proposing an alternative perspective is suspect.

In part three of this series the suggestion was made that Nicolas Tesla may have re-discovered some of the lost technology developed by ancient Egyptian culture. Tesla claimed that many of his insights came as the result of dialogue with inter-dimensional beings, an interesting admission coming from one of the pioneers of the electronic age. Tesla was granted hundreds of patients and they were all virtually based on first time drawings of his original ideas. This means his inventions manifested in his own consciousness as fully developed concepts needing no corrections or alterations. Given Tesla's description of his own internal process the question arises, was this skill the result of his personal genius or was it the result of the effectiveness of his communication with Spirit? I suspect it was large doses of both.

According to Ifa ancestral wisdom we become who we are by standing of the shoulders of those who came before us. If our understanding of our ancestors is distorted, we cannot begin to know who we are let alone build on our ancestral heritage. Ignorance is fertile ground for manipulation. A manipulated life fails to develop to its fullest potential. When I first started studying Ifa over twenty-five years ago, I was told that Ifa no longer existed in Africa. My first trip to Africa completely dispelled that lie and subsequent trips have left me humbled and astonished by the amount of wisdom and understanding that is available from elders who are largely ignored outside of their own communities. If you believe Ifa is no longer practiced in Africa, or if you believe the Ifa practiced in the Diaspora is somehow "better" than the wisdom that exists in its place of origin your expectation will only confirm your shortsighted belief. If you assume something does not exist you will never find it, even if you bump into it.

Ifa says those who cannot call the names of their ancestors going back seven generations cannot seat their ori (consciousness) in the world. In an effort to understand where we have come from it is necessary to look seriously at and understand the legacy of past generations. Taking a serious look means challenging the propaganda and misinformation that shaped the consciousness of those of us who were manipulated by a Western "education". Our institutions of higher learning are set up to support industry, industry in this country is dependant on the exploitation of global resources, and exploitation requires justification. The conflict between justification and illumination is a financial struggle and those who are interested in reinforcing justification have the economic advantage.

The Ifa Creation Myth indicates there was an extended period of peace and harmony on the earth, a time when a global priesthood venerated the Spirit of Light (commonly called Sun Worship) known by a wide range of names in virtually every early culture known to history manifesting in Yoruba culture as Obatala. If the Egyptian and Sumerian records are accurate, this period in history lasted for at least 70,000 years. If we consider the fact that most of the technology used in the contemporary world was developed in the past hundred years, the potential for developing unimaginable technology over a period of 70,000 years staggers the imagination. In the words of Arthur C. Clark, "Any significant advanced technology is undistinguishable from magic." Western culture denigrates magic, and as a result anything in the historical record that appears magically is immediately dismissed as untrue. The knee-jerk criteria becomes "if we can't do it, they couldn't do it". As a result perception becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. This is a problem of ori (consciousness). The mind that creates a problem is not the mind that can fix the problem.

If you can appreciate the possibility that the Pyramid at Giza was a power plant, then many of the pieces of the archeological record start to fit together in a coherent pattern. One of the difficulties in seeing this pattern is the belief that history is linear. The linear model is based on the belief that time moves forward making culture and civilization progressively better. The notion of unconditional cultural progress is the result of the influence of Darwinian theories of survival of the fittest on the political theories used to justify the exploitation by those who have monopolized the development of superior weapons of mass destruction. One of the earliest manifestations of the effect on politics of Darwinian theory was Hitler's notion of a "master race". German academics in the early years of the twentieth century argued that the development of sophisticated weapons gave Germans the moral right to rule the world. There excuse for invading Austria, Poland and France was that each of these countries represented a threat to national security. Slight provocations were used as an excuse for military action. In retrospect we now know that most of the provocations were engineered by the Germans themselves to create the illusion of a threat. Before going to war Hitler burned the Reichstag (German parliament) and blamed the fire on "radicals" which at the time was a code word for people of Jewish ancestry. If the purpose of life were to dominate and control others the Darwinian argument would be valid. If the purpose of life is to live in harmony with the environment and make the earth a better place then the argument is insane.
Ifa as well as most indigenous spiritual traditions teaches the idea that history moves in cycles of growth and decay. This is a fundamental concept necessary to any understanding of Odu. Ifa oral tradition teaches that every Odu emerges from its opposite, for example:

I

Eji Ogbe becomes Oyeku Meji


The single lines represent light the double lines represent darkness. All light fades into darkness and all darkness emerges into light, a fundamental principle in nature. Be clear; Darkness is not evil. Darkness is the absence of light. All mater starts to decay once it comes into existence. The process of decay the symbolized in Ifa as the movement between light and dark. Ifa also teaches the spiritual principle of rebirth, meaning all darkness becomes light. The linear view of history negates the possibility of rebirth as a Force of Nature. This perspective is not consistent with reality and can only be imposed on ori (consciousness) through deliberate manipulation, distortion and control. Understanding the dynamics of transformation is an essential element in any effort to deflect the influences of manipulation, distortion and control. The study of Odu is the study of the ways in which transformation occurs, for example the following sequence represents one of the ways light moves towards darkness.

There are an infinite numbers of ways in which you can track the movement of Eji Ogbe to Oyeku Meji and back from Oyeku Meji to Eji Ogbe. The point is that everything in existence is in a constant state of flux, moving in cyclical patterns from source to its opposite polarity and back to source. Nothing in Nature is unambiguously progressive, including the development of culture. Most earth-centered spiritual traditions speak of at least three previous cycles of development, extinction and re-birth. In the Ifa Creation Myth, the earliest of these cycles is referred to as the time when Obatala ruled the world with a silver sword.

During the period of Obatala's ascendancy as a primary organizing principle in culture there were amazing developments in what can be described as an earth-centered, environmentally friendly, energy efficient forms of technology. If this technology was based on an objective understanding of the inner mysteries of Nature it should be possible to rediscover the same principles and put them to use for the benefit of life on earth. An examination of the history of science indicates this is exactly what has occurred. Robert Oppenhiemer was the director of the Manhattan Project responsible for developing the atom bomb. At a press conference following the detonation of the bomb in Japan, Oppenhiemer was asked how it felt to be the first person to create an atomic bomb. In response he said; "I was the first person to do it in modern times." Why would he say such a thing? The test sight in Nevada has transformed large tracks of sand into glass as the result of the above ground detonation of atomic bombs. This artificially produced glass does not occur in nature as a natural phenomenon. Geologists report the existence of artificially created glass fields in deserts around the planet. The glass is thousands of years old. What they fail to mention is the only known method for creating the glass. (This will be discussed in detail in the next installment of this series)

The pressing question for anyone who prefers illumination over manipulation is this; what is the awo (mystery) understood by Ancient Africans that enabled them to create a technology so sophisticated it appears magical (meaning fanciful) rather than real? The answer to this question is at the foundation of the African worldview on the nature of reality and the source of continuous transformation in the universe.

The ancient Egyptians described the earth as two twelve sided pyramids joined together at the equator. This is virtually the same structure used by Buckminster Fuller to build geodesic domes. The Egyptians were not referring to the visible spherical shape of the planet; they were describing the invisible energetic pattern that supports the internal structure of the earth. There is no known record of how they came to their conclusion, but there are numerous examples of temple art depicting the grid pattern that infuses the planet with radiant energy (dragon lines ase). In the 1970's J.J. Hurtack, Ivan Sanderson and Christopher Bird, independently rediscovered the energetic grid described by the ancient Egyptians. Their work was largely based on research conducted by three Russian scientists Yyacheslav Morozov, Valery Makarov, and Nilolai Goncharov who theorized the planet was a giant crystal radiating electromagnetic impulses along detectable routes. These lines correlated with the earth's fracture zones (earthquake faults), ocean ridges, atmospheric pressure zones, known travel routes of migratory animals and the site of ancient megalithic stone structures.

In his book The Keys of Enoch J.J. Hurtack describes the grid pattern as an icosahedron (a spherical shape with twenty flat surfaces). Based on his research he theorized that there were ten places of maximum intersection of the grid lines that run along the equator in a zig zag pattern (above and below the equatorial line). He describes these points as inter-dimensional openings or portals to invisible realms of existence. Ivan Sanderson called these anomalies "vile vortices" because the history of these power spots indicates a pattern of strange disappearances from the visible realm of three-dimensional time and space. Sanderson identified one of these vortices as the Giza plateau.

In 1984 Bethe Hagen and William Becker identified twelve anomalous power spots forming a zig-zag pattern along the equator. This pattern is consistent with the grid pattern found in Egyptian temple art and is the pattern that was used as the basis for Pythagorean geometry and Plato's theory of forms. When the early Greeks invaded Egypt and established the library at Alexandria, the esoteric tradition of Thoth as preserved by the Egyptian priesthood was cultural appropriated becoming transformed into the Greek esoteric tradition of Hermes. Virtually all of the ancient stone temples located around the planet are in perfect alignment with the power spots identified by Hermetic science. This suggests that the early temple architects were operating from a universally shared worldview based on common objectives and engaged in a collective effort to implement those goals. The Egyptian records on this matter are obscure, however in the Hermetic tradition we find a clear expression of the use and function of the planetary grid.

Hermetic documents describe seven fundamental principles of manifestation: the principle of mentalism (the idea that everything in the universe has some form of consciousness, called ori in Ifa), the principle of correspondence (the idea that everything in the material realm is a reflection of its source in the invisible realm, called Eji Oko the farm of heaven and earth in ifa), the principle of vibration (the idea that everything in the universe is in a state of constant motion, called ase in Ifa), the principle of polarity (the idea that everything exists in relationship to its polar opposite, represented in Ifa by the single and double lines of divination), the principle of rhythm (the idea that everything moves through cycles, expressed in Ifa as the movement between ire and ibi), the principle of causation (the idea that everything exits in relationship to cause and effect, called ayanmo meaning my spiritual tree or destiny in Ifa), and the principle of gender (the idea that everything has expansive and contractive qualities, called Okunrin male and obinrin female in Ifa). The fact that all of the fundamental concepts of Hermetic science have direct correlations in Ifa is further confirmation that the Greek system of metaphysics has African origins. Hermetic science, as it was developed in Greece. influenced the development of "objective" science throughout Europe. If Hermetic science is based on African science, the notion that Africans were "primitive" (meaning unable to develop technology) has no basis in the historical record. The only way to propagate the lie is to distort the facts. Prior to World War Two western academia taught the idea that European culture originated in Egypt. German politics found this idea unacceptable and postulated the idea that European culture started in Greece. The basis for the German argument was their repulsion over the idea of a non-Aryan source of culture. The German model remains the dominant paradigm in Western academia.

The Egyptian, Greek, and Yoruba mystery schools were based on the premise that the principles of manifestation were best learned and understood through direct contact with Nature. This contact took the form of guided initiation designed to reveal particular aspects of the fundamental aspects of Creation in an experiential way. Based on their understanding of the earth grid all three of these traditions believed that phenomena generated at those places along the grid where energetic lines crossed represented an amplification of otherwise invisible forces in Nature. Hermetic tradition refers to these intersection points as Domes; in Yoruba they are called Igbodu.

In an article titled Ley Lines and The Meaning of Adam by Richard Leviton and Robert Coons reprinted in Anti-Gravity and the World Grid, by David Hatcher Childress, the authors summarize the Hermetic tradition on the history of Domes.

"According to Dome theory, when the Domes appeared on Earth they activated lines of light and energy already present in the etheric skeletal web of the planet. The Domes were Ships brought here as a response from what is called the Architect of Cosmic Destiny and in line with past proposals and future events for Earth. Technically, it's not accurate to say the Domes came and went because they exist spatially in between spirit and matter. However, they were present on Earth three times in planetary history. It is also not accurate to construe the Domes as mechanical material vehicles according to our customary understanding; they are more like transdimensional magnetic/energy facilitators overlaid on the physical landscape. In the first Dome Presence, there were no humans on Earth; in the second Dome Presence, there was primitive human life; and during the third Dome Presence there were some humans who could clearly see the Domes and understand their function. What these early humans say is recounted in various ancient mythologies (notably the Irish and Sumerian) as the House of the Sky Gods."

The Hermetic tradition identifies the Domes as natural power centers activated and enhanced by inter-dimensional beings variously called Gods, Angels, Neters, Orisa, Elohim (Biblical reference to Gods plural) and a variety of other names in virtually every culture on the planet. In Yoruba culture this process is described as the journey of Obatala from Orun to Aye who travels from the invisible to the visible realm on a chain. According to Ifa Creation myth the first activated Dome is called Ile Ife. Ifa Creation myth also indicates that Ile Ife on earth (aye) is a reflection of the Ile Ife in heaven (orun), reflecting the Hermetic idea of as above so below. Odu Ifa refers to this principle as Eji Oko, meaning the first farm of heaven (orun) with the inference that the farm of heaven is the inspiration for the farm of earth. To this day the central market in the city of Ile Ife is believed to be the portal between aye and orun, or the road leading from the farm of heaven to the farm of earth.

Ifa Creation Myth describes the Silver Age of Obatala as a time when Orun (the invisible realm) was much closer to Aye (earth), a time when Orisa walked the earth. The Creation Myth of all earth-centered traditions describes the Golden Age or the Silver Age as a time when the Gods walked among humans. It has become popular in New Age literature to infer that these references mean the planet was at one time visited by extraterrestrials (beings from a different planet). This may or may not have happened. My elders in Africa make clear references to contact they have had with extraterrestrials, they are also clear that beings from a different planet are not Orisa. The Orisa are inter-dimensional forms of consciousness that can and do manifest in physical form on the earth. The Orisa are not short humanoids with Grey skin and large eyes. The reason the New Age Movement has miss-identified this aspect of ancient history is based on a myopic view of the past that refuses to accept the possibility that ancient cultures were capable of saying what they meant. The Internet is overloaded with speculation on the meaning of UFO's, Crop Circles, and Alien abductions. None of this is a mystery to our African elders. Illumination of these apparent mysteries will not come through wild speculation; it will inevitably come through humility.

Greek cosmology describes the Domes as transmitters of two forms of radiant energy. One form flows from the center point in an expanding spiral pattern (the Golden Mean), symbolized in the Ifa Creation myth by the snail shell. The other form flows in a straight line connecting all the power spots on the grid, symbolized in the Ifa Creation myth by Obatala's staff. The existence of two forms of energy explains why Obatala gets drunk. If only the male expansive energy connecting the power spots existed, the planet would overheat and become a small star. In symbolic language the expansive energy would burn out of control or get "drunk". The polarity between the male expansive energy and the female contractive energy allows the planet to cool in a way that provides an environment for the manifestation of human life. The lines are described in the awo of Damballah. Two serpents hold together the universe; one holds the sky the other holds the oceans of the earth. Here we have the polarity between sky or fire and earth or water. Two forms of energy sustaining creation.

In the Hermetic tradition the Domes are described as appearing at regular intervals in a set pattern. This does not mean they all radiate the same quality of energy. The influence of celestial bodies on the planet creates an overlay on the grid pattern. For example the Giza plateau is located on a major ley line. The three pyramids at Giza are a reflection of the stars in the Constellation Orion. The radiant energy emanating at Giza has male and female qualities influenced by the effect of specific stars on the manifestation of that energy. In Ifa the discipline of studying the cosmological influence of power (ase) on Domes (igbodu) is called gede usually translated to mean astrology. The word itself reveals the true inner mystery. Igbodu is from the elision igbo odu meaning the womb of the forest. Gede is an elision of ge dide meaning female ase (the power of fertility) stands up, or in the context of igbodu emerges through the invisible portal. In Africa many of the sacred sites designated as igbodu go through seasonal cycles of activation and dormancy. These seasonal cycles are a manifestation of celestial influence marked through the spiritual discipline of gede. This means that gede is not the astrology of personal fortune; it is the astrology of planetary energetic patterns of manifestation. In Odu Ifa this mystery is described in terms of the time and place when specific Orisa arrived on the earth. The relationship between Esu's shrine at Alaketu, Obatala's shrine at Ile Ife, Oshun's shrine at Oshogbo and so on, is not history so much as it is a reference to an earth mystery identifying the quality of ase (energy) passing through the landscape from this power sources.

Most of Western science rejects the notion that planets have inter-related influence. There is one significant alternative view. The current model of the relationship between quantum physics (the structure of the atom) and astrophysics (the structure of the universe) is based on string theory. This theory is based on the idea that sound waves created by the Big Bang (the initial explosion of Creation) resulted in the manifestation of invisible lines of energy connecting everything in the universe. These strings are sometimes referred to as wormholes. A true understanding of wormholes would give science the ability to travel to distant places in the universe at rates faster than the speed of light. The ancients referred to wormholes as Star Gates. Hollywood as usurped the Star Gate symbol insuring that it remains an element of science fiction. Nonetheless the ancient references are there for those who have the vision to read them correctly. String theory is a modern re-invention of the sacred science developed in Africa before being appropriated by the Greeks.

Researchers in England who began studying ley lines in the nineteenth century noticed that the lines between the Domes also marked the existence of underground waterways. This is not a coincidence. The expansive energy emanating from the Domes influences the movement of underground water just as it influences the migratory patterns of animals. Water also serves the purpose of amplifying the effect of the inter-dimensional radiant energy that flows from the Domes. In simple terms the Domes are inter-dimensional terra-forming technology put in place by Spirit and developed by those human elders who were able to see and understanding the nature and function of that technology. The ancient priests and priestesses of Obatala understood this relationship and it became a fundamental element in the creation of their worldview. Historically there was a progression of development of their understanding. The Domes or power spots were initially located and marked with a stone and or a dirt mound. The stone was placed in such a way that the sun hit a particular spot in the landscape when the Dome was activated. An underground chamber was built to concentrate and release small amounts of radiant energy (white light or ala). The radiant energy would manifest as pure unformed consciousness. This means the light can take on the quality of those shamans and priest who project their consciousness on to the light. The chamber operated like a cosmic mirror (symbolized by Oshun's mirror) amplifying the intentions of those who stood before it. This is the reason why the initiates of Obatala put so much emphasis on good character. Igbodu is exactly like a computer, garbage in garbage out, or elevation of spirit in elevation of spirit out. Oriki developed as a way of imprinting radiant energy with sound vibrations (called ofo ase in Yoruba) that would sustain fertility, peace, elevation, enlightenment and harmony. The light projected into the ungrounded water and carried throughout the landscape takes the effect of these incantations for long distances creating a land ruled by a silver sword, the sword (symbol of consciousness) of elevation. We know this because the process is still being used in Ile Ife. To the extent that this is not done in the Diaspora is the extent to which we still have things to learn from our elders in Africa. To the extent that this process was disrupted in Africa by Christian missionaries is the extent to which the Christian denigration of African culture becomes self-fulfilling prophecy.

As the priestly understanding of Domes increased the stone structures used to mark them became more elaborate and complex often involving the placement of massive rocks transported long distances. The list of theories offered to explain the rock moving techniques used by our ancient ancestors is extensive. The problem with most of the theories is that those who make them are unable to reproduce the results; they are unable to move stones of the size and weight used to build megalithic temples. There is one notable exception, and that is the castle built in Homestead Florida by Edward Leedskalnin in the early years of the last century. In an article by Christopher Dunn in Atlantis Rising Magazine the accomplishments of the Latvian immigrant are compared to the building techniques of the ancient Egyptians:

"An immigrant to the United States of America, Leedskalnin devised a means to single-handedly lift and maneuver blocks of coral weighing up to 30 tons each. In Homestead, Florida, using his closely guarded secret, he was able to quarry and construct an entire complex of monolithic blocks of coral in an arrangement that reflected his own unique character. On average, the weight of a single block used in the Coral Castle was greater than those used to build the Great Pyramid. He labored for 28 years to complete the work, which consisted of a total of 1,100 tons of rock. What was Leedskalnin's secret? Is it possible for a five-foot tall, 110 pound man to accomplish such a feat without knowing techniques that are uncommon to our contemporary understanding of physics and mechanics?

Leedskalnin was a student of the universe. Within his castle walls, built of coral blocks weighing approximately 15 tons each, he had a 22-ton obelisk, a 22-ton moon block, a 23-ton Jupiter block, a Saturn block, a 9-tib gate, a rocking chair that weighed 3-tons, and numerous puzzles. A huge 30-ton block which he considered to be his major achievement, he crowned with a gable shaped rock."

Leedskalnin claimed his technique involved an understanding of magnetism in relationship to the flow of force fields (ley lines) along the surface of the earth and the ability to use those force fields to eliminate the effect of gravity. Beyond that he remained silent. The Government made repeated efforts to learn his secret and he refused to give any of the details. The Castle is currently a museum open to the public and the official history of his remarkable accomplishment says he moved the entire structure from Shangri-La Florida to Homestead Florida by using his secret to load the massive stones on a truck. No truck every built can hold 30 tones of rock, making the accomplishment truly amazing and the official explanation less than adequate.

B.J. Cathie a prominent contemporary researcher into the phenomena associated with the earth grid offered an explanation of Leedskalnin's Castle.

". . .there exists an all-encompassing global grid with direct harmonic relationship to the speed of light, gravity, magnetics and earth mass. All major changes of the physical state are brought about by harmonic interactions of these manifestations. The controlled manipulation of these forces would make it possible to instantaneously move mass from one point to another in space/time.

. . . measurements from Coral Castle yield harmonics related to Light and Gravity. The distance between Coral Castle, and Grid Pole A (in the north), dispel any doubt about the site being an ideal position to allow Ed Leedskalnin to erect the huge blocks of coral with relative ease. Measurements indicate the harmonics necessary for the manipulation of anti-gravity." - http://www.labyrinthina.com/coral.htm

If Cathie is correct in his analysis, Leedskalnin's methods would eliminate the need for the use of a truck. (i.e. movement coupled with time displacement). Such a possibility is so far outside the normal range of contemporary human experience it invokes easy skepticism. In an Article titled "Acoustic Levitation of Stones", Cathie describes the experience of a Swedish doctor named Jarl who traveled to Tibet in 1939 to treat an ailing Lama (Buddhist Priest). During his visit Jarl was invited to witness the construction of a wall leading to the entrance of a cave located 250 meters above the ground. Directly under the mouth of the cave the doctor observed a semi circle of 19 drums arranged in a 90-degree arch around a large stone.

"When the stone was in position the monk behind the small drum gave a signal to start the concert. The small drum had a very sharp sound, and could be heard even with the other instruments making a terrible din. All the monks were signing and chanting a prayer, slowly increasing the tempo of this unbelievable noise. During the first four minutes nothing happened, then as the speed of the drumming, and the noise, increased, the big stone block started to rock and sway, and suddenly it took off in the air with an increasing speed in the direction of the platform in front of the cave hole 250 meters high. From time to time a stone split, and the monks moved the split stones away. Quite an unbelievable task."

Dr. Jarl was sent to Tibet on behalf of the English Society. While in Tibet he filmed the rock moving process. When he returned to England the film was confiscated and has never been shown in public.

To assert the notion that the power spots of antiquity were developed by a global culture from a single vision of interconnected spiritual and material relationships requires hard evidence to be credible. An archaeocryptographer (person who makes surveys of ancient structures and cities) named Carl Munck has used satellite photographs and on sight measuring techniques to make the case for a unified network of sacred sites. Carl Munck believes that in order to understand the enigmatic structures built in antiquity we must first understand the "mathematical precisions of the earth". The basic elements of his system of analysis include counting the number of obvious features at a given site, locate the position of the site in relationship to the Prime Meridian which he believes was originally located on the Giza Plateau, then correlate the position to other know monuments in the grid. For example, Munck analized the Kukulkan Pyramid at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan penisula of Mexico in an article by Laura Lee.

". . . the pyramid shows us nine terraces. This is the first number we use to assemble our formula for the decoding process. The second number is 365 Kukulkan has four staircases, one on each side of the monument, on each staircase are 91 steps. For the four, that totals 364 steps with the top platform of the pyramid being the 365th step, giving us our second number 365. There are four sides, and four staircases. We now have all the numbers shown by the architect and put the decoding formula together: 9 terraces x 365 steps x 4 sides x 4 stairways = 52,560. 52,560 is also arrived at by multiplying the numbers in the ancient grid coordinates for Kukulkan: 119 degrees x 42 minutes x 10.51620248 seconds 52,560."
- http://www.lauralee.com/articles/code.htm

In the process of surveying ancient sites Munck discovered that the grid coordinates were carved into the stone monuments using an early form of writing called Ogam (looking similar to hash marks used to count in sets of five i.e. four vertical lines crossed by a single horizontal line). Munck has published a number of highly technical volumes of data recording the result of his global surveying effort. His work is further confirmation of a global culture based on the veneration of the Sun and the use of natural earth centered technology for both scientific and spiritual elevation.

Egyptian oral tradition suggests the large stone pillars and obelisks
located across the planet were used for sending messages across the grid. The idea sounds unlikely if you're not familiar with the "vibrating telephone" developed by Nathan B. Stubblefield in 1888 and installed as Kentucky's first public communication system. Stubblefield located ley lines throughout the rugged Kentucky landscape. He developed a system for accessing power from the grid and used that power to send messages back through the grid. Stubblefield located places were the ley lines crossed (Hermetic Domes) and inserted iron rods wrapped with copper wire insulated with cotton. Using this simple method he was able to draw electricity from the earth that he used to power transmitters and receivers he called "ground telephones". The messages were sent through the earth without the aid of wires and the sound quality was superior to the conventional phone systems used at the time. He also used his understanding of the grid to create lamps that needed no bulbs and no electrical outlets other than a connection to his rods. Gerry Vassilatos describes Stubblefield's work in his book Lost Science.

". . . Mr. Stubblefield experimented with the buried power receiver and a system of telephone sets. He found it possible to send vocal signals through the ground to a distant receiver, referring this system as a "ground telephone". Telephoning through the ground became routine for this remarkable man.

Signals sent through the Stubblefield method were notable for their reported "great clarity". What is strange about this system is its elegant simplicity. Stubblefield's transmitting system evidences an almost crude minimalism, which offends some researchers, while surprising others.

Numerous private and public demonstrations of this first system were made in Murray, Kentucky (1886-1892), where his mysterious "black boxes" were seen. Two metal rods were stuck into the ground a few feet apart from each distantly placed set. Speech between the two sets was loud and clear despite distances of 3500 to 6000 feet." - page 95

After making several unsuccessful attempts to get financial backing for his system, Stubblefield went into seclusion developing his ideas and applying them to the rural area where he lived. All of the components he used for his inventions were made from simple materials available to our ancient ancestors. In parts of rural Kentucky he is still considered something of a folk hero where traces of his system remain in tack.

There is some speculation that the projection of sound by the ancients was enhanced by the use of crystals. Large circular crystal plates have been found throughout Egypt and are typically described as "altar objects". It is interesting to note that Oke Itase the sacred mound in Ile Ife identified, as the home of Orunmila, is an outcropping of silicone crystal chips directly above an elaborate system of underground water channels. It is the place where Egbe Ifa continues to say prayers and make ebo.

Egyptian oral history also suggests that sound generated by the size and shape of stones located on the grid were used for healing both physical and mental illness. Many of the ancient temples in Egypt have niches the approximate size of a coffin. Archeologists look at them and assume they were cut as burial slots. It is more likely they were used as healing tables like the padded beds found in a contemporary doctor's office. Again, if the idea of sound therapy would seem fanciful if it were not for the research of Dr. R. Raymond Rife. In 1920 Dr. Rife invented an ultraviolet projection microscope. The invention was effective in capturing images of cell structure with far greater magnification than is currently possible with high tech electron microscopes. In simple terms the telescope used ultra-violet light projected through prisms in a way that lost none of the clarity and focus generated by other systems of high magnification. Dr. Rife was the first to capture images of the various viruses that are the cause of a wide range of illnesses. While watching these viruses under his projection microscope he discovered the viruses were affected by sound and could be effectively dissolved through the use of sound waves. He did extensive research identifying specific waves, frequencies and amplitudes needed to cure specific viral infections. His research was confiscated by the government and is currently unavailable. If his research were in fact an effective means for curing viral infections the use of sound therapy would literally destroy the pharmaceutical drug industry. The sale of prescriptions drugs represents 18% of the American gross natural product. This statistic begs the obvious question.

Rife was not alone in his effort to find alternative healing methods that were prevalent in ancient times. If the ancient Egyptians used sound therapy at their temples, the use of sound would function in conjunction with the natural therapeutic effect of the energy flowing along the grid lines of the earth. Dr. William Reich discovered that he could generate the energy found along the ley lines by constructing a box using alternating layers of organic and inorganic material (i.e. alternating layers of metal and wood). This simple idea generated what he called Orgone energy and Reich spent most of his career as a doctor studying the positive and negative effects of Orgone energy on physical and mental health. He also discovered that if he projected Orgone energy into the sky it would affect the weather. The government confiscated Reich's research and he died in jail awaiting trial.

When Reich first starting building his therapeutic boxes he discovered that the temperature inside the box was higher than the temperature outside the box. According to current laws of physics this would be impossible. He demonstrated the effect to Albert Einstein who was stunned by the revelation and was unable to provide an explanation. The use of alternating layers of organic and inorganic material is the structure of the Ark of the Covenant (i.e. alternating layers of wood and gold built to specific geometric proportions). The ark was supposed to be used as a medium of communication with the Elohim. Biblical scholars tend to translate the word Elohim to mean "God", the actual translation is "Gods", plural. The ark was in fact an energy accumulator used to access inter-dimensional realms of being in the same way that Hermetic Domes, along the power grid were used as inter-dimensional access points. Western historians would have us believe that there was only one ark and that it was first created by Moses. In fact the ark was a common device used among the Egyptians and a number of boxes identical in size and structure to the Ark of the Covenant were found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Six of these boxes were taken from Egypt to Europe by the Knights Templars in the 13th Century and are believed to be buried under the Templar Chapel in Rossyln Scotland. The history of the Ark of the Covenant traces its movement from the Temple in Jerusalem to an island in Ethiopia and eventually to a small church in Axum Ethiopia. (The reason for this move will be discussed in a future installment)

If the sacred technology of the ancient world was based on an in depth understanding of nature, it should be possible to reproduce the accomplishments of our ancestors that are reported in the myths and legends of antiquity. A survey of visionaries who stepped outside the conventions of the Western worldview suggests that the rediscovery of ancient metaphysics has generated a long list of effective alternatives to mainstream science and technology. This raises the question of why has so much time and effort been devoted to the suppression of these re-occurring discoveries and what is the big secret that academia wants to keep hidden from the general public?

The commonly held Western worldview is deeply rooted in what is generally referred to as the scientific method. It is based on the idea that objective scientific theory is only valid if it can accurately predict the consequences that result from the interaction between specific forces in nature. For example if heat is applied to water it generates steam and the liquid is transformed into a gas. Anyone who observes the application of heat to water will witness the same effect. This formulation of the scientific method produced the industrial revolution that has transformed the consciousness of the entire planet. The method was unchallenged until a scientist named Wigner suggested that the consciousness of the observer had an effect on the results of a scientific experiment. He noticed that physicist who believed light was made up of particles created experiments that proved light was made up of particles, while physicist who believed light was made up of waves created experiments that proved light was made up of waves. Stephen Hawking says; "The eventual goal of science is to provide a single theory that describes the whole universe". Such an endeavor is called "unified field theory". As a step towards creating unified field theory scientist became very interested in conducting experiments in a vacuum. The use of a vacuum was believed to eliminate the possible influence of invisible forces on a particular experiment. A vacuum is essentially an enclosed space in which all gas, including air, has been pumped out. Much to the dismay of Western science, it was discovered that vacuums generated an electromagnetic pulse. It was assumed that this energetic pulse was a residual effect of radiation from the sun. In an effort do eliminate this radiation from the vacuum the enclosed space was drained of all heat until it reached the point of zero degrees Celsius. The theory was that freezing the vacuum would dissipate the radiation. At zero point temperatures scientist still discovered the existence of electromagnetic pulses inside the vacuum. If the temperate countered the heat from the sun then the electromagnetic energy had to come from somewhere and the only possible source of radiation was a inter-dimensional transference of energy. Having the key to this inter-dimensional window creates access to an unlimited source of free energy. Pick up any textbook on electrical engineering. The textbooks all have tables showing the wave patterns of electrical currents at different temperatures. When you get to the place on the chart marked zero degrees there is an asterisk, which directs the reader to a footnote. The footnote says the data related to zero point electromagnetic radiation is classified by the United States Government for reasons of national security. No joke. What is so dangerous about understanding a fundamental law of physics?

The electromagnetic impulse generated by zero point vacuums is pre-atomic in structure. In other words it is made up of fundamental units of energy that come together to form matter. These pre-atomic units are called gravitons and they are responsible for the effect of gravity in the universe. Gravitons move from the fourth dimension to the third dimension as a result of planetary and stellar spin. Scientist first discovered this phenomenon during the Apollo missions to the moon. Using Newtonian physics NASA engineers calculated that the Apollo craft would leave the pull of the earth's gravity at a distance of 221,586 miles from the earth and be pulled towards the moon by the moons gravitational field. This calculation was important for creating the sling shot effect used to gauge when the craft needed to fire its buster rockets. The actual point at which the moon started to pull the craft was a distance of 202,827 miles. The 19,000-mile discrepancy was the result of gravitons generated by the spin of the moon moving between dimensional realities. After this discovery was made many of the top executives at NASA including Werner von Braun resigned and went into private industry. Very strange.

When he was twenty-three years old Einstein claimed to have solved the mystery of Unified Field Theory. If he did, it means he understood the relationship between inter-dimensional reality and gravity. Shortly after making the announcement concerning his discovery Einstein claimed his theory was inaccurate and withdrew the data relating to his theory. The top scientists in physics as well as the top scientist in NASA know the ancient mystery of African sacred technology and they are determined to keep it a secret. How do we know they know? The data collected by Russian scientist marks the flow of electromagnetic pulses along the ley lines based on technical readings using sophisticated equipment. Based on their research the strongest Dome center in the United States in located in Washington DC. The original streets of the city are laid out in a way that mirrors the flow of earth energy from the center point of the Dome. Exactly at the center point of the Dome the founding fathers built Washington's monument in the shape of an obelisk. .

For those who are interested here is the secret that is being suppressed:

TIME IS ENERGITIC; TIME CARRIES THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF CREATION. THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF CREATION EMERGE FROM GRAVITY. IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCESS GRAVITY THROUGH THE USE OF SPHERICAL SPIN. UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURE AND DYANIMCS OF TIME OPENS THE PORTALS TO UNLIMITED SOURCES OF ENERGY AND ALLOWS FOR THE DISPLACEMENT OF TIME.

This is the awo or mystery that enabled our ancient ancestors to build the pyramids.

Cut a stone in the shape of a ball. Attach magnets to the ball at the equator. Spin the ball. At high speeds the spin generates a Mesmer field, which in western scientific language means anti-gravitational. Anything you place above the ball will have no weight. You move huge stones simply by moving the ball. Couple this with an astute understanding of the effect of sound on gravity and you have all the tools you need to build Coral Castle, or the pyramid at Giza. The museum at Coral Castle has a circular stone slab with magnets attached to the outer parameter. This was Leedskalnin's secret; the secret he said was a rediscovery of the methods used by ancient architects to build megalithic stone temples. Gravitons come into being in the third dimension in bundles of four, two strong units (expansive or male) and two weak units (contractive or female) this is the fundamental structure of one leg of the Ifa oracle. In part one of this series I suggested that Odu was zero point energy. The marks of Odu represent all the possible manifestations of zero point energy moving from the fourth dimension into the third dimension. Odu is a map of the way in which pre-atomic particles form physical reality. Is this a coincidence? I don't think so.

The denigration of African spiritual technology clearly has a racist component. It also has a political component related to the fear of African spiritual technology by those political houses that want to maintain their control of global resources by denying humanity access to a true understanding the mystery of Nature. How far back does this conspiracy go?

The Montauk Indians in Long Island New York claim they migrated to the United States from Africa long before the arrival of Columbus. Their traditional homeland is near a lake at the end of Long Island that is an access point to one of the major underground waterways on the east coast. The common ancestral name of the Montauk elders is Pharaoh. They built their homes along the Long Island Coast with rock in the shape of Pyramids. Just before the American Revolutionary War an America Scientist lived with the Montauk Indians for six months so he could study their language and oral history. He complied a complete dictionary of the Montauk language and took extensive field notes. When he returned to his home in Virginia he claimed to have lost the dictionary and all of his notes. The man's name was Thomas Jefferson. Prior to World War I the US Park Service dismantled all the pyramids built by the Montauk Nation on the Long Island shoreline. The United States Government has never given the Montauk Nation Native American Status they continue to fight for this right to this day. Their traditional homeland is currently being used by the Military as a research center for non-conventional weapons (i.e. weapons based on the theories of Nicolas Tesla) and for the development of technology used for mind control.

Can anyone imagine what impact there would have been on the American economy if it were known that the Africans who were forced to come to the United States had access to a sacred technology that was superior to the technology of the oppressing culture? There is a reason why the early laws related to slavery made it a capitol offense to practice traditional African religion. I firmly believe the reason was rooted in a fear among the Euro-America elite regarding the inherent power of Odu.
