Everyone has something to say and to contribute to the global conversation about life and its many colorful phases, about war and peace, about freedom of choice, about liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and about any number of topics. I made a commitment to myself years ago that I would not leave this world without saying and doing what I incarnated to say and do. If I don’t say or do what is mine to contribute to the world, it gets all bottled up inside. Expression allowed it to be released. I blog for no other reason than to share my thoughts and insights with my world.
There’s a popular American hymn entitled “How Can I Keep from Singing?” first published in 1868 by Pauline T. with music composed by Robert Lowry. Singing has been an integral and important part of my life since school days when I sang in the school chorale — first as a soprano and alto, then later and more recently in the Master Works Chorale as a tenor and baritone as my voice changed. I credit our Irish mother for inspiring me, as she often sang while doing her chores. Our dad often sang while working. My younger brother (rest his soul) had a beautiful voice and sang in the school and church choirs. Our Irish and Italian heritage gifted all of us eight siblings with singing voices. Thank you mom and dad . . . and thank you Lord.
MUSIC IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL
There’s an abundance of music in the world: symphony music, choral music, popular music, piano concerts. We sing Happy Birthday songs to celebrate someone’s birthday, patriotic songs to pay homage to our nation and country, and Christmas carols to celebrate the birth of Jesus many decades ago. In the seminary I was part of a Gregorian chant choir and a conductor. We sang as part of the Easter Midnight Vigil at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. We had a conductor from Rome who introduced us to the beautiful heavenly choral music of Giovanni Luigi da Palestrina. We were in heaven singing Palestrina’s choral music.
Back in the 1960’s we all had guitars or sang along with those who had one. I learned to play the guitar and sang a few songs of my own at gatherings. As angels incarnate we all have the capacity to express our hearts through song and recorded music. Human beings are created with the capacity to sing. I encourage you to sing, even if you don’t think you have a singing voice. There was a saying back in the day, “If you can talk, you can sing.” So, go ahead. Take a deep breath and let it out through your voice in song. I don’t know how anyone can keep from singing. If I’m not singing out loud, there’s always a song in my heart playing in my head. Thanks for sharing my thoughts. I would love sharing yours. Have a happy musical day! Anthony
I took a book of poems from off my bookshelf just now entitled “THE GIFT” by the great Sufi master Hafiz and opened it randomly to this poem. I thought you might have a good laugh reading it . . . as I do each time I revisit it. I give you Hafiz:
TIRED OF SPEAKING SWEETLY
Love wants to reach out and manhandle us, Break all our teacup talks of God.
If you had the courage and Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights, He would just drag you around the room By your hair,
Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world That bring you no joy.
Love sometimes gets tied of speaking sweetly And wants to rip to shreds All those erroneous notions of truth
That make you fight within yourself, dear one, And with others,
Causing the world to weep On too many fine days.
God wants to manhandle us, Lock us inside of a tiny room with Himself
And practice His dropkick.
The Beloved sometimes wants to do us a great favor:
Hold us upside down And shake all the nonsense out.
But when we hear He is in such a “playful drunken mood”
Most everyone I know Quickly packs their bags and hightails it Out of town.”
That was fun sharing. Until I get the urge to blog again and share more of my fun-loving elder wisdom,
HAVE YOU EVER FELT DEEP INSIDE that your friends have been your friends forever? Like we’ve been here together before and have returned to do something special, or just be together on Earth as friends for a purpose beyond our conscious mind’s awareness? For me, I look at what’s happening in the world, or what was happening when I arrived 86 years ago, and I get a clue. There was war going on in the 1040’s. Still is. So my coming likely had something to do with bringing peace. I am a bringer of peace for my world, and my Lord and Master is the Prince of Peace for this Whole Holy World.
Blasphemous? Presumptuous? Egotistical? Overly dramatic? Are there any who would call for my crucifixion?! Who are perhaps reaching for the delete button? Who will no longer “follow” my blog?
“Did not the prophets of old say truthfully: ‘Ye are gods’?”
My spirit rises up into my throat and warms my soul as I write these words. How can I keep from singing?! From writing? From proclaiming my divinity? Made in the image and likeness of God! As were you and all the breathing, walking human temples of the living God on earth.
We are friends as we do whatsoever we were commanded to do by our Lord and King who was incarnate in the Man Jesus over two thousand years ago: “Love one another as I have loved you. Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. This is my command: that ye love one another.”
My body can hardly contain my spirit. A powerful force moves through our shared world. Let us open our hearts and be filled with it. Filled to overflowing. Lifted up so the voice of the world is no longer heard. I leave you with a blog I posted some months ago.
EIGHTY SIX YEARS AGO, plus nine months in my mother’s womb, I incarnated on this beautiful planet. I came from the Heavenly Realms of Light, as we all did, to play my part in the human drama unfolding on Earth. The world was about to be plunged into a state of war in less than two years. The date was May 20, 1940. The place was Port Arthur Texas down on the gulf coast where the Sabine River pours her waters into the Gulf of Mexico.
On December 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan launched a surprise attack on the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii, killing over 1200 Americans and destroying or damaging 20 naval vessels. It was a day that has lived “in infamy,” as President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it would.
We all incarnated on Earth to bring our divine presence, our spirit, our Self into the world at specific times to serve a specific purpose. I came during the warring years of America and of the world. My purpose came to me through my devout Catholic parents and my years serving as an “altar boy” and attendance at a Catholic school staffed by the Christian Brothers. Every year they held what was called “vocation week” when students were presented with various options to consider. The priesthood was always my choice by attraction.
In my second year, our dad was working for Standard Brass in Southeast Texas as a machinist. I was the third of eight siblings born between 1937 and 1954. Every night we prayed together for world peace. For our Catholic parents and family, praying for world peace was central to our life’s purpose and routine. Dad’s and Mom’s noble motivation raising a large family was their shared desire to supply the Church with priests and nuns. My brother – rest his soul – and I were the only ones to answer to a religious calling. Apparently it wasn’t our calling. He became a deacon in the Church and I was drawn to choral music and the healthcare field as a Doctor of Chiropractic and clinical nutritionist. The sacred healing art of Attunement came to me as a natural next in my healing ministry. We both married and raised beautiful sons and daughters.
I bring all of this forward from out of the past on the eve of my birthday just as a reminder of how short a life cycle is. Mine has been short but rich in friendships and adventures. I have played many roles in those years: as a son to two wonderful and hard-working parents, as a brother to six sisters and one younger brother, as an altar boy, seminarian, and doctor of Chiropractic; as a husband to two wonderful women and father to two amazing sons and two beautiful daughters. I have been richly blessed.
I am profoundly thankful for all life has given me to cherish and nurture and to enrichen my life’s journey. Thank you, God. Thank you friends for sharing this journey with me as faithful followers of my blog over the years. It’s been a real joy sharing my thoughts and words of wisdom with you. I’m not signing off here; just feeling profoundly grateful for living on this beautiful Earth and with so many friends who have played important roles in my life’s journey. Write to me at my email address below. I always enjoy hearing from my friends and reading your responses to my posts. I’ll see you in June. Until then . . .
~Where spirit and flesh dance in the fire of creation
IN CONTEMPLATING where to go with my blog in these end days of my life’s amazing and fruitful journey, I looked back to where I’ve been as a published author. Since 2005 I’ve written and published two books: SACRED ANATOMY ~ Where spirit and flesh dance in the fire of creation, and ATTUNEMENT WITH SACRED SOUND ~ The magical use of sound in Energy Work and healing, and one professional booklet entitled REDISCOVERING THE SOUL OF CHIORPRACTIC. Over the last several months, I’ve written a small book entitled ABOVE~DOWN~INSIDE~OUT, also a professional work, which is currently being prepared for publication by Laurence Layne of HEALTHLIGHT PUBLISHING in St Augustine, Florida, shortly to be released and available on Amazon Books.
SACRED ANATOMY
From the back cover: Sacred Anatomy evokes deep currents in the heart for the sacred in everyday life. The book takes you beyond mainstream and even alternative health care to consider the human body in its true purpose and function as a holy temple and an instrument for the magic of creation.
Have you ever wondered how spirit steps down into flesh and incarnates? If indeed our bodies are temples of the living God, as sacred scripture teaches, how does the spirit of God dwell in them? What is the biological mechanism through which spirit incarnates so completely as to govern every detail of our bodily functions?
Gain a deeper understanding of the sacred nature of your physical body. Discover a new perspective of an aspect of your anatomy that receives little attention until hormonal chemistry is thrown into a state of imbalance. Come to appreciate the vital role your seven endocrine glands play in bringing the gifts of spirit and learn how illness plagues human existence when these gifts are withheld and hormonal glands fail to function normally. You will see clearly the role you play in determining which way this plays out in your own life experience.
This book will profoundly change the way you view and treat your human capacities. You will find both inspiration and practical spirituality as you experience the chemistry and alchemy of the endocrine system which sets the stage for the dance of spirit with flesh.
A colleague writes: “Prepare to be pulled into a journey of the true reality of the human body. This book is not for the faint of heart. Dr. Palombo has successfully unpacked the innate wisdom of the endocrine system and reveals its hidden depths anatomically, scientifically, energetically, and spiritually. A Spirit-led work of art, Sacred Anatomy will change the way you look at yourself, your healing, and your reality.”
Please join me in celebrating eighty-six years of living on this beautiful Earth. I was born in Port Arthur, Texas on May 20, 1940 during the outbreak of World War II. Two siblings preceded me and five more followed. Our dad worked for Standard Brass as a machinist making bullets for the war, if my memory serves me. He believed in Chiropractic and utilized it in the care of his family. Walking in his footsteps, I worked my way through Chiropractic college as a machinist making rocker arms for diesel engines at a machine shop in Indianapolis, Indiana. I worked days and went to school evenings. I dated a classmate on weekends. Her mother got me the job at Mitchel & Scott Machine Company. Doors opened synchronously as I moved through college. I graduated in 1963 and wasted no time opening my first office in Crowley, Louisiana. I had a family to support, so I had to go to work promptly. The rest is history.
I will continue with this story in my next post. Until then,
Be love. Be loved.

IT’S BEEN OVER TEN-THOUSAND YEARS since Cain slew his brother Abel — a biblical story of ancient Humankind as told by Moses in Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, introducing murder into the early formative consciousness of humanity.
*
I’m halfway into a thick volume entitled “THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD ~ From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome,” authored by Susan Wise Bauer. It has inspired the sad title of this blog post, as it’s all about one war after another. Cain set the pattern for murder in human consciousness, and that pattern has been shaping human behavior to this very day.
How on God’s Good Green Earth does our specie think that war is a sensible and viable path to peace?! To a way of resolving our differences?! Indeed, to a legitimate way of increasing our land holdings and extending our national boarders?! To use a common vulgate, “Who in hell do we think we are that we can impose our way of thinking, living and governing on other nations and the rest of the world?!” What utter arrogance. I don’t care what the Gita says about the “Art of War.” There’s nothing artistic about killing one another and laying waste our neighbors’ cities and homelands, of dropping bombs on the hallowed ground of Mother Earth and on her children.
Indeed, we are a warring and murderous species ~ from the day Cain slew his brother up to this very day in time when the president of the USA wages war on a nation in the Middle East. Guns and bombs have one sole purpose, and that is to kill and destroy life. We’re not just destroyers of life. We’re suicidal. What we do to “others” we do to ourselves. In truth, there are no “others.” There’s just us, one human species. And that’s all I have to say about that!
Man gives and man destroys what God giveth. Cursed is the earth for man’s murderous ways. War is a murderous exercise in insanity, no matter how rationally it is justified. “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21) Selah!
. . . IS ALL THAT IS. There’s no tomorrow, though we make plans for it, and no yesterday, though we recall past events back into the present for various reasons. There’s only the eternal NOW during which I but imagine my tomorrows and my yesterdays. Creation is Now. Tomorrows and yesterdays are only images in our minds. They have no substance, no presence. They do not exist.
I started blogging in March of 2010, at times weekly and other times monthly. All of my posts ~ well over 200 ~ are stored and accessible on WordPress. They have been visited by people from all over the globe. It’s truly amazing that we have the technology today by which we can reach out to the whole world with our computers.
Two-hundred plus blog post! That’s a lot of writing. My friend, publisher and fellow author in Florida, Laurence Layne, suggested I compile them into a book. A book with over two-hundred chapters? I don’t know. It would be a thick volume, not to mention a sizable undertaking. Perhaps I could simply dip into the well of archives and republish some of the better posts. I could also take a sabbatical. Sounds good to me. See ya down the road.
“He who had moved among men before and disappeared at will prior to that time—do you not think that, if His disciples had been holding steady, He could have disappeared in any moment He had chosen?”—Uranda
URANDA: On this beautiful day, which gives promise of a springtime not too far away, let us meditate for a moment upon some of the principles that our Master revealed in relationship to this phase of our own progress along the way. The Master said, “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do,”and that work which the Father gave was finished before that experience that was made necessary to our LORD by human imposition in the trial and the crucifixion. The work the Father gave Him to do was completed before that trial and before the crucifixion, for we have the Word from His own lips: “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.”Why, then, was it necessary for Him to experience the mockery, the indignities of that trial, and the sufferings of the crucifixion? It was because man imposed those things upon our LORD. They were imposed by man’s rejection of the divine pattern.
The ill things that nullify the expression of the beautiful pattern of God’s design on earth are never God’s will. They are imposed by man’s rejection of that which God offers. The shame and the suffering, the indignities, are never the result of the divine pattern or of God’s will. They are the result of man’s denial and betrayal of his responsibilities, and they are imposed by that which man himself does. Very often those who consider themselves Christians, or who long to move along the spiritual path, are inclined to think: “If I had lived, if I had only had the privilege of living at that time when our Master Himself walked on earth, I would not have been among those who were scattered so quickly from that vast throng who were shouting, ‘Hosanna to the king.’ I would not have been like Peter, denying, or like Judas, betraying, nor like the others who followed afar off, for I would have appreciated my privilege and opportunity. And, cost what it might, I would have been among those who stood at the foot of the cross.” So many have felt that way—perhaps they would not express it in so many words.
Yet today, in this hour and in all the hours to come, we have the same privilege of remaining true, the same privilege of standing at the foot of the cross, the same privilege of proving the reality of our love and our trust. The passage of the centuries has not denied us any privilege that we might have had then, with the one exception of seeing the physical form through which our LORD was manifest. And He said of those who lived then, that for their sakes it was expedient that He should go away; and if it was expedient for them, there is nothing taken from us, because we do not have the privilege, as our minds might think of it, of seeing Him in physical form. It is expedient for us that He so arranged the divine pattern.
So, let us examine something of what happened and see if we can gain a deeper conviction of that which is necessary to ourselves, that we may come to a recognition that it is not what we feel out of the subconscious heart or mind, it is not what we feel externally, that is properly the directing force in our lives. It is what we see and recognize and realize with the conscious mind to be the truth of the matter, for the mind which is allowing the spirit of God to work in it is stronger than any feeling that can come surging up from the subconscious. It is stronger than any idea that may be buried somewhere in the subterranean phases of the mind. It is stronger than any current of feeling that may be imposed from the outside.
What you feel is beside the point. As long as the conscious mind continues to yield to the impulses that come from a distorted subconscious mind or heart, as long as it yields to the currents of feeling or action from without, it is saying, “I am not a guardian angel. I am not fortified by the spirit of God. I am a weak thing and I must of needs acknowledge the extent of my weakness and say that God cannot serve me because I am subject to all of these ill things.” He who says that betrays our LORD, as surely as Judas betrayed Him. He denies, as surely as Peter did, and he is not even following afar off. He is scattered into the darkness, hiding in the alleyways, lest someone see and say, “Are you not one of those who followed Him?”
Let us see what happened at the time of our Master. He had finished the work that God gave Him to do, but certain things were imposed upon Him. In either case, He was going away, as far as His physical form was concerned. But do you think He could cause His body to be changed more easily after all this humiliating experience than otherwise? He could have ascended without the suffering, the crucifixion and those days in the tomb. Man imposed that upon Him and made it necessary. Sometimes people ask a question and say, “But did not the prophets say He would have to die? Does not the Bible say there could be no salvation except as His blood was shed, etc.?” I grant you that after this experience was all over, certain ones developed some ideas with respect to it. And in the pattern of prophecy in the Old Testament you will find those things which recognized not only the possibility but the probability of the manner in which man would function. But because it worked out the way it did, the human interpretation has been on the basis of one idea only; and there has been a complete failure to recognize the fact that an alternate path, the ideal path, was foretold just as surely, as definitely, if man would have allowed it to have meaning.
That which was of God’s design was revealed by the prophets much more abundantly than those comparatively obscure texts that recognized the probability of what man would do. Because man did fail, the texts that relate to that possibility are picked out and held up as what was prophesied. And it is not so at all, because God’s provision of the pathway did not require that Jesus should die. It was human beings that condemned our LORD to the indignities of the trial, so-called, and to the sufferings of the cross. God did not require it. From God’s standpoint, it was not necessary, and I can take the book cover to cover and show you how the pattern was revealed there. Let us examine it.
The idea of the shedding of the blood, from the standpoint of the spear in the side and the nails in His hands and feet, is supposed to have had some particularly efficacious result—that God, being a hardhearted something-or-other, would not accept the salvation of a single man, woman, or child unless His own Son should physically bleed. Anyone who stops to consider that which is revealed of God in the Bible will recognize that that is so completely out of character that there is no reasonable excuse for any person believing it. It is completely out of character. The blood is the symbol of life. He had shed His blood, in the true sense, before He ever reached the agonies of Gethsemane or the sufferings of the cross. He had shed His life upon the earth. He had shed the currents of His life in the revelation of Deity. He had revealed the principles of life. He had given His life to the revelation of the things of God, and He Himself said before any of these things took place, “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” There was a recognition that certain things were yet to be faced because of what man had imposed upon Him, but it was not the divine plan or purpose or necessary from the standpoint of God, as if He were a bloodthirsty being who demanded that blood be shed. No. That is not the character of God. It was not the plan or purpose of God. And the only reason why our Master accepted that outworking was because man imposed it upon Him.
Who imposed it upon Him particularly? Who among men? Herod or Pilate or the power of the Caesars? Oh, no. Who imposed it upon Him? His disciples were the ones who imposed that upon Him. It is true. They simply accepted the focalization of the world in the hour of stress, rather than remaining true to their focalization in Him. But consider if the hour of crisis had come and all twelve of the disciples had remained steady. There are those who say Judas, poor creature, was predestined to do it; someone had to do it in order for God’s plan to be fulfilled. Someone on earth had to be a traitor and betray our LORD! Oh, no. God is out of character the moment anyone begins to conceive such an idea. God never predestined anyone to be a traitor or to betray the things of God, let alone the Son of God! Judas did not have to betray Him. It was not necessary; it was not a part of the divine plan. It was a part of human failure.
Consider. If it had worked out according to that which God had made available to them, if according to God’s true plan there had been a following through—of course the Master knew, particularly toward the last, that they were not going to hold when the crisis came; but, even so—suppose Judas had not betrayed Him, suppose Peter had not been of that type who would deny Him, suppose twelve men had stood faithful and true to their LORD on earth—twelve men, not one wavering, not one breaking in the face of the crisis—then His Body on earth, the body of these twelve men who were supposed to be the key men of the Christ Body which should fill the earth, holding steady, would have allowed Him to carry out God’s plan. Not from the standpoint of continued work on earth in the sense of His doing it, but His doing it through the members of His Body—the very principles He had outlined to them such a few hours before, the principles and Laws that He had expounded to them over and over again through the three and a half years of His ministry with them. But if that Body, the focalization of the Body in twelve men, would have held the pattern, hundreds and thousands who had received blessings at His hand, who had cried “Hosanna to our king,” would have stood if the twelve disciples had stood. And there would have been a Body on earth.
He who had moved among men before and disappeared at will prior to that time—do you not think that, if His disciples had been holding steady, He could have disappeared in any moment He had chosen? Could humanity have heaped the indignities of the cross or mockery of the trial upon Him? No. Why did He accept that imposition? The Body that He had been building through the years of ministry died, scattered first—the scattering of the disciples. When they broke, when they slept in Gethsemane instead of watching with Him one little hour, when they slept, when He came to face the final pattern, of course the LORD would not have suffered as He did—even in Gethsemane—had this pattern been holding properly. Because already Judas had gone out to betray, His body had started to decay and die, the body of His disciples. That body of the disciples was scattered, brought to the point of death before His physical body as a man was brought to the point of the crucifixion.
If that body of twelve disciples had remained steady and true, no power on earth could have touched Him, because then the victory would have been assured without His going through what He did. The same truths would have been revealed in the outworking of the cycles of time, but there would have been a Body established—twelve key points, with others rallying around vibrationally. And if they had sought to touch Him, whether He would have used spiritual power to prevent it or whether He would have disappeared is beside the point. That would have been for Him to choose and it is not for me to speculate upon, but they could not have touched Him. That we know. If the body He had built, or undertaken to build—the Body of many members—had held true, His physical body would not have had to be on the cross. But on the cross of spiritual creative activity, the crossing between heaven and earth, there would have been a revelation of divine power that would have carried through effectively and saved man centuries of suffering, sorrow, misery and death. The Body would have been complete and this world would have been restored already.
It is not until after this plan had failed to carry through that we have the prophetic portrayal, for instance in Revelation, of that which should yet be done. Because in Isaiah, and many other places, there is mention made: “Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” That is part of the prophecy of what was divinely ordained for the time when Jesus Christ should come on earth, that which could have been, but man prevented it. Man spoiled the pattern of God, so there was a divine reorganization and a re-projection of the same goal under a new pattern. Not all was lost, it is true. Our Master had finished the work. He had revealed Deity, established the truth on earth, set the pattern. And somewhere there would be those who would follow through, those who would not be so quick to betray for thirty pieces of silver or their own human desires.(Emphasis added)
I wonder how many of you know why Judas betrayed, what the working of his mind was. . . .
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”—Jesus, John 16:12
Our Solar Entity
WE ARE HARDLYAN ISOLATED “tiny oasis of life surrounded by an immensity of death,” as our ageing Star Trek Captain Kurk (William Shatner) described his impression of Earth during his recent venture out into the dark deep of space, featured in my previous post. As I mentioned in that article, light is everywhere but only visible to us as a reflection off of substances, such as water vapor. Except for substance to reflect off of, we could not see light. So the darkness of space is filled with invisible light, and where there’s light there’s life and love.
I received this comment on my previous post from a dear friend and colleague:
I think you allude to something here Tony, and that is: That our Holy Earth is not so tiny as we might think, and it is not an oasis, because it is not located in a desert, and it is not a mirage in the desert of the fallen human consciousness that sees everything in its own likeness, in this case the likeness interpreted as an oasis in a universal desert wilderness. But in Divine Imagination, as we are made in the Image and Likeness of the Divine Elohim, it might well be that our Earth Home is vast, and embedded in what we call a solar system that is akin to an amazon forest teeming with multiplicity of life, all this within a Cosmic Ocean of unblemished Cosmo-Diversity. And, as a wise man once suggested, could it not be that our heavenly earth system is itself one Holy City created to thrive, one City among many, all embedded within a Bright and Morning Star, within a vast Cosmic Field of such cities and such stars. I think so.
I love this perspective of our Earth as “one Holy City created to thrive, one City among many, all embedded within a Bright and Morning Star….”
In astronomy we refer to the planets orbiting the sun as a “solar system,” as though it was a lifeless grouping of cosmic bodies adrift in empty galactic space. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Earth and all her eight sister planets are living, breathing entities, as is their origin star, the central solar orb around which they orbit. It’s all part of a vast cosmic fabric of stars and galaxies that is “but a cloak” to the living God of Creation, to borrow a phrase from the lyrics of a colleague’s baritone song of praise.
AND THEN THERE WERE TEN
(The following words speak my own thoughts and implications about what I see, read and hear. I do not expect anyone to believe me. In fact, I discourage it. I do invite you to read it, however, and to do your own critical thinking about it.)
There is a tenth planet, according to ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts, recorded on stone tablets and recently translated by Zacharia Sitchin (1920-2010), author of a number of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Our solar system, or entity, is a massive colonization of planets, one of which is inhabited by the human race along with a vast variety of animal, insect and plant species . . . and another, a planet named “Niburu“— also known as “Planet X”— which is believed to be inhabited by rogue creator beings who came to Earth and genetically engineered the human species.
In his book THE 12TH PLANET, Zacharia Sitchin “attributed the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he stated was a race of extraterrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Niburu. He asserted that Sumerian mythology suggests that this hypothetical planet of Niburu is in an elongated, 3,600-year-long elliptical orbit around the Sun.” You are welcome to explore for yourself this ancient story of the origins of humanity.
I mention all this because in the Sumerian cuneiform text Earth is spoken of as the “seventh planet,” and the only possible explanation for this placement of the earth as the seventh planet is if one is counting from the outer planetary orbit, presumably that of Pluto, (which has been counted and excluded as a planet a number of times), and traveling toward the inner planets, which would be Mars (6th), Earth (7th), Venus (8th) and Mercury (9th). Also, in counting and numbering the planets from the outer reaches of the solar system, for earth to be numbered as the seventh planet, there would have to have been ten planets counting the asteroid belt, which is a debris field of a planet that was destroyed in a collision with another planet, or possibly a moon of one of the other planets, or even with a comet.
William Shatner describes planet Earth as an oasis surrounded by a vast dark wilderness of death, as in a desert. When I read this in his account of his space venture, I was reminded of a reference in the Sumerian text to the inhabitants of Niburu (the Anunnaki) seeing the planet Earth as a place to stop off, like an oasis, and exploring for possible deposits of gold on what we now call the African continent, the cradle of civilization and of all life on earth.
According to the story, the Anunnaki needed gold to build a solar shield for their planet. They found gold deposits and began excavating it and shipping it to their planet via space cargo ships. The work became too arduous for the “creator beings” so they created man to “till the ground,” as slave laborers to do the dirty and strenuous work. According to the story, the Anunnaki started with strong and able-bodied apian creatures and genetically altered them using their own DNA, thereby creating man in their own image and likeness. Evolution followed that transformed man through various stages of development.
The notable point for me is that the earth was seen as an oasis and source of minerals in the dark wilderness of the solar system. It is still being mined for its minerals, including gold and silver, lithium, copper, cobalt and uranium, not to mention the coal mines of China and the oil wells of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico; all being done by the powers that control the global economy and manage the industrial complexes.
One may well suspect that the Anunnaki rogue creator beings have incarnated in modern times to finish their pillage of the planet’s riches and energy resources and enslave human beings to do their bidding. Perhaps they never really left Earth as incarnate rogue creator beings, even possessing the Scribes and Pharisees in order to do away with God’s “only begotten Son” once and for all. But they failed to get rid of Him, and that victory over death by Jesus the Christ altered the course of history . . . as far as the Anunnaki are concerned and as far as humanity is concerned. They may have been able to enslave Adam and Eve and their descendants, but they could not enslave the human spirit. Jesus threw the fire of love on the world and initiated once again a cycle of purification and restoration of man to his ordained state of co-creator with the Father of Creation, the third and final opportunity for man, male and female, to return to the Creator and restore the Earth to its Paradise state as “a womb where beauty might be born.”
Returning to the tonal words of my friend David Barnes for upliftment to a higher point of view and authentic context:
. . . could it not be that our heavenly earth system is itself one Holy City created to thrive, one City among many, all embedded within a Bright and Morning Star, within a vast Cosmic Field of such cities and such stars. I think so.
I think so as well. “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.” The Earth is a Holy City of habitation for the sons and daughters of God. It was created by Elohim for this very purpose in the deep dark of space.
HIDDEN THINGS BEING UNCLOAKED
I will conclude this post by saying that Zacharia Sitchin’s scenario of our origins reads like a very possible way in which the events mythologized by Moses in the Book of Genesis manifested and unfolded. I can appreciate the challenge Moses must have faced in writing the Book of Genesis and some of the other books in the Old Testament, especially taking into account the level of consciousness of the relatively primitive “Children of Israel” who had just been delivered from bondage in Egypt. It is said that he had access to ancient Sumerian and Sanskrit scriptures, legends and oral traditions as well. His congregation were truly children who could only relate to mythical stories and parables.
A similar event occurs in the New Testament Gospels when Jesus said to his simple-minded disciples,“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12). There are many things being revealed that even we have a hard time bearing today . . . and this Nibiru story may just be one of them. It may also be one of the things that are best left in the past and forgotten. But then there’s the danger of repeating our past unless we remember it . . . If we are not already doing so.
I will address this in my next post, “Earth as an Electrical Being.” So, stay tuned. Until then,
TWO POSTS AGO I WROTE about glaciers and water in the historical context of the Great Deluge when the ancient continent of Atlantis crumbled into the Atlantic Ocean—a myth to some authors. To borrow a couple of lines from Hugh Malafry’s intriguing novel BLUE SHAMAN ~ Caverns of Ornolac, “‘what is history but myth let loose in time’. . . ‘Better, I think, history. If we think on what we have done, we may restrain ourselves from doing so again,’”
EARTH’S WOBBLE
Ages ago, not long after man’s departure from Eden, during a period of planetary disruption in our solar system—according to Immanuel Velikovsky (“Worlds In Collision”and “Earth In Upheaval”)—brought on by man’s abandonment of his stewardship of the Garden, Venus and Mars collided. Venus—then a comet just born out of Jupiter—passed dangerously close to Earth and pushed her out of her orbit and further from the sun. That energetic push tilted the earth on its axis, resulting in a wobble. The tilt resulted in the creation of our Four Seasons.
THE GREAT FREEZE
But the more drastic change was to the temperature of Earth’s climate, which plunged suddenly around its north and south poles to below freezing, almost instantly encasing giant mammoths, with food still in their mouths, and green forests in prisons of block ice, including all living beings in the pole regions, beasts and humans alike. An Ice Age followed covering much of the North American and Asian continents in a blanket of heavy snow that packed and hardened to form glaciers. We are still recovering from that cataclysmic upheaval moving through a gradual restoration and into a new age.
If you’ve never read Velikovsky’s heavily documented books about these cataclysmic upheavals—although largely speculative conclusions based on tenacious research that took him to all geographical sectors of the planet in search of corelative evidence that showed, for example, where the sun stood still in the sky in the Eastern hemisphere as recorded in the Old Testament account of the Israelites’ desert sojourn, there was a concurrent lengthy blackout in the Western hemisphere where the sun failed to rise as usual—you’re missing out on a fascinating story of a very large piece of our planet’s journey through tumultuous space and times, along with a near extinction of her entire population.
Due to the earth’s wobble, ice caps formed off-center of the polar axes, adding impetus to the wobble with their sheer weight, while stabilizing the earth’s wobble and thereby making life possible. This is particularly so in Antarctica with the additional landmass of Greenland under the icecap.
This gives rise to the scenario of melting icecaps removing enough lopsided weight from around the poles so as to bring about an eventual steadying and rectifying of the earth’s wobble, eliminating our four seasons and creating a perpetual tropical climate globally.
This scenario was proposed as very likely to occur by Earth Science professor Dr. John D. Waskom of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana back in the 1970’s.
OIL ON A WATER PLANET
Dr. Waskom also proposed that a group of technically knowledgeable beings incarnated with a specific mission to drill and pump the oil, dumped on the earth by Venus when our planet passed through her comet’s tail, to the surface and burn it off our water planet, as water and oil don’t mix. That process is still ongoing today with the burning of erroneously dubbed “fossil fuel.” (It came from Venus and not from decomposed dinosaurs and ancient forests.)
The implications are obvious and profound: burning oil puts CO2 into the atmosphere, keeping the sun’s heat from escaping, thus increasing surface heat and melting the icecaps. As the runoff leaves the poles and gravitates toward the equator, the speed of the earth’s top-like spin is reduced, thereby lengthening our days, and possibly restoring the planet to its upright polar position.
This slowing down of the earth’s spin is comparable to a spinning ice skater extending her arms in order to slow the speed of her spin, then drawing her arms in close to increase it. The increase of water volume around the equator increases the outward centrifugal force created by the earth’s spin, thereby slowing down the velocity of her spin. This could reduce our year by five days, giving us a 360 day year. It’s basic physics 101.
As an affirming side note, airplane pilots are reporting that the earth is moving toward a true polar north-south upright position, affecting their compass readings and airport runway orientations.
I’m reminded of the quip “Nothing’s wrong; everything matters”. . . and the saying “The Lord uses everything to His advantage in accomplishing His purposes.”
THE HEAT
Triple digits temperature globally is becoming the new norm for Summer season—and that’s actual temperature not heat index in some areas. The “feels like” heat index is in triple digits pretty much everywhere, mostly due to high humidity as the sun’s heat evaporates the surface waters of our vast seas and oceans. In terms of the Four Cosmic Forces of Creation—Water ~ Air ~ Earth ~ Fire—we have a Fire/Water cycle currently playing out leading to a Water cycle at the beginning of a New Day. A Golden Age dawns on our watch! A cause for rejoicing!
Another reason for the hotter temperatures could also be that the earth is gradually returning to its original orbit closer to the sun in her restorative cycle of renewal. The stark implication is that our flesh bodies will have to adapt. What that will look like and feel like over the ensuing decades and centuries can only be imagined and conjectured.
IT’S TIME TO RETHINK OUR WAY OF LIVING ON THIS PLANET
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” (Hosea 8:7)
One thing is certain: radical change in our earthly experience is afoot. It’s time to get our priorities straight and our houses in order. What this calls for is a deepening of our Heavenly identity as Creator Beings. This animalistic human experiment is winding down. Borrowing a line from the musical Oklahoma, “They’ve gone about as fer as they can go.”
We started out as Man, male and female, living in a Garden. Thinking we could improve on the Garden, we became self active and found ourselves in a wilderness on a planet in cataclysmic upheaval. We survived the upheavals and built cities with boundaries and walls of separation. We built a civilization with modern technologies to help us navigate it, ease our suffering, and facilitate multitasking. We created computers to process information and do some of our thinking. Today, just as we did to our Creator, our crowning creation, christened “Artificial Intelligence” (dubbed “AI”) has become self active, having been equipped by its creators to take control of our world and our very lives.
But we’ve gone about as far as we can go in the macrocosm from the animal kingdom of apes to the mineral kingdom of silica chips for our creative endeavors and our thinking. Only our lifeless corpses can inter the undifferentiated microcosmic terrain of their earthly origin.
We are divine angelic beings, not animals, and certainly not computers. Our abode is in Heaven. Our function on Earth as stewards is in the Garden of Eden. Our human forms will undergo radical transformation and upgrading to another level in sync with our Home among the stars. Echoing and paraphrasing Isaiah’s words, “But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create. For behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy.” (Isaiah 65:18)
I will leave you to ponder an excerpt from my book SACRED ANATOMY ~ Temple of the Living God, in which I make reference to the sacred healing art of Attunement using sound as a carrier wave for spirit and intention “thawing” our frozen DNA, as presented in my book ATTUNEMENT WITH SACRED SOUND—both available on Amazon.
Thawing Our Frozen DNA
The music, like all reality, arises from out of the invisible quantum world of time-space, and it emerges as vibrational signals coded by Intelligence with information. I received the following from an anonymous friend and Attunement colleague during a conversation challenging familiar thinking about how intelligent design is transferred from the invisible realm to the developing embryo, borrowing from Christopher Alexander’s The Nature of Order, Vol. 2 in the second paragraph:
“All the information for embryonic development is contained within the fertilized egg. So how is this information interpreted to give rise to an embryo? One possibility is that the structure of the organism is somehow encoded as a descriptive program in the genome [that is what we were taught!]. Does the DNA contain a full description of the organism to which it will give rise? The answer is no. The genome contains instead a program of instructions for making the organism—a generative program—in which the cytoplasmic constituents of eggs and cells are essential players along with the genes like the DNA coding for the sequence of amino acids in a protein.(Emphasis added)
“’A descriptive program, like a blueprint or a plan, describes an object in some detail, whereas a generative program describes howto make an object. For the same object, the programs are very different…’”
This “generative program” is a revelation of the genius of Life. It is how evolution unfolds, as well as how adaptations are made to accommodate changes in the natural and mind-made worlds—perhaps how the “ordinances of heaven” are set in the earth. That instruction is given by the innate intelligence animating the physical body and overseeing its many and varied internal functions and cycles. These instructions arise, or descend, from a higher Universal Intelligence several heavens above ours. It could be thought of as the score for the “Music of the Spheres,” edited and updated to accommodate changes in the environment, applying Pythagoras’ planetary symphony model to the symphony of Life playing in and through its many and varied forms of expression, in this consideration our human capacities.
Thawing Our Frozen DNA
I will bring this consideration to a close with these thoughts around the topic of a possible upgrade of our physical bodies to accommodate our spirit more fully. In a conversation with my anonymous friend mentioned above, the question came up for me as to whether or not our genes today are capable of being rewritten by an updated “download,” so-to-speak, from the Creator. I was intrigued by my friend’s response:
“I absolutely agree the genetic code is designed to take the imprint of heavenly vibration. In the divine state, the physical nature of man is undoubtedly a good deal more fluid and the rigidity of the genetic coding as we now find it is part and parcel of the fallen state. You might say the DNA pattern is frozen music, an ingrained song of survival in the flesh, ultimately meant to thaw, transfigure and reveal a harmonization with the music of the spheres, in form far more fluid (and melodic) than we have known. I have to say, however, that God is practical and works with what is. A lot of what is in place has specific relevance to the reconstruction of the divine design, and that includes genetic patterns.”
He is referencing a previous discussion we were having about the larger cosmic picture and the impact planetary interrelationships have on human beings, notably in the wake of past cataclysmic changes wrought to the earth and to the entire solar system, as well as the current shift in the intensity of energetic factors as we move into a direct alignment with the central sun of the Milky Way Galaxy, affecting climate changes here on earth and throughout the solar system. Through all of this shift human genetics has been evolving to its present state. His final comment is pertinent to our discussion around the subject of intention while toning, as well as to the overall rationale of this book (Attunement with Sacred Sound):
“As a passing note, the state of affairs from a planetary standpoint has created an ‘off tone’ situation in the flesh and that must be a consideration in this matter of toning. In the end, we’re not really interested in healing human nature so it can continue off tone, but in preparing man in and for the vibrational changes in the offing.”
I have no doubt that the divine technology of Attunement with Love, facilitated by sacred sound, has been given to us specifically to assist in the process of thawing out the frozen music of the DNA pattern and to rewrite the “song of survival” as a song of ascension. We are already using the frequency of 528 Hz to repair damaged DNA. This frequency used as a carrier wave for the spirit of love, melting patterns of genetic coding will surely be made receptive to the imprints of heavenly vibrations and the divine design for our human capacities. As we resonate with the frequency of Love, we may soon rediscover the fine and high art of singing creation into being, an art we once performed in the First Time when we walked with the Creator in the Garden of Paradise. Already the consciousness of the collective Body of humanity has ascended to a level where this creative art may soon return.
Even in such creative and co-creative work we may undertake as Creator Beings, our prayer in consciousness is always “Thy will be done in the earth as it is in Heaven.”
