DE STENEN VAN DE STAD, h. 7

In mijn geboorteplaats Deventer had ik geleerd, dat wilde je de stad begrijpen, je rekening moest houden met het feit, dat twee verschillende water-niveaus en -stromen elkaar hier ontmoeten. Je had de rivier de IJssel en de waterlopen uit het Oosten, die elkaar hier kruisten. Het was ten allen tijde onmogelijk om van de IJssel rechtstreeks in de stadsgracht te varen, die gevoed werd door de weteringen uit het achterland. De beroemde cartograaf Blaau beeldde het wel zo af en deze plattegrond is een relatiegeschenk van de gemeente. Verbinding tussen de stadsgracht en de rivier is slechts door sluizen mogelijk. Dit zijn historisch gezien opvallende plaatsen. Door rivier en beken te beheersen werd technische ontwikkeling gestimuleerd om de “handelspositie” optimaal te benutten. De Romeinen hebben waarschijnlijk de Rijn omgelegd en gebruikt om een waterweg naar het Noorden mogelijk te maken. Zij zijn het waarschijnlijk geweest, die de eerste primitieve sluizen hebben gebouwd aan de voet van een natuurlijke heuvel, het hoogste punt van de stad, die in de Middeleeuwen werd gekroond met een prachtige gotische kerk. De Bergkerk. Door de reizigers en handelaren werden deze steden rijk en ambitieus. Er werd geïnvesteerd in kerken, kloosters, zieken- en armenhuizen, bibliotheken en scholen. De economische openheid zorgde ook voor een diversiteit aan bewoners en bezoekers. Groepen vluchtelingen vestigden zich hier vaak. De Spaanse Joden en Belgische protestantse vluchtelingen vonden in Amsterdam, maar ook in Zutphen en Deventer een hartelijk welkom. Logisch was ook, dat het een vestingstad was. De lokale machthebbers moesten zich tegen invasie en belegering kunnen verweren. De stadsmuren werden tenslotte een belemmering en stadspoorten werden gesloopt, grachten gedempt en stadswallen afgebroken. De stad kon eindelijk uitbreiden en op de ruïnes werden prachtige plantsoenen aangelegd. In Deventer werd hiervoor de beroemde tuin- en parkarchitect Springer ingehuurd.

U begrijpt al waar ik heen wil. Harlingen en Deventer lijken bijzonder veel op elkaar. Qua historie, handelsgeschiedenis en monumentale architectuur zijn er veel overeenkomsten. Deventer is groter en uitbundiger, maar Harlingen heeft op een relatief klein grondgebied (Harlingen was lange tijd de dichtstbevolkte stad van Nederland, met allerlei epidemieën tot gevolg. Zeelui importeerden cholera, tyfus maar ook tuberculose! En nog steeds is tbc niet verdwenen en steekt met de nodige regelmaat de kop op. Maar uitzonderlijk is het feit, dat zoet en zout water elkaar in Harlingen raken. Zeevracht werd er overgeladen op beurtschepen en Friese producten werd geëxporteerd naar de Oostzee, Noorwegen en Engeland. Visserij was lang een vast gegeven in de stad, maar de afsluiting van de Zuiderzee en de omslag naar een zoet water bekken heeft de Zuiderzee haring uitgeroeid. Zij hadden hun paaigebieden in de binnenzee en konden die niet meer bereiken. Dat gold ook voor de paling, die niet meer op weg kon naar de Sargassozee in de Atlantische Oceaan. De keuze voor de Afsluitdijk zou nu, om ecologische redenen, niet meer worden gemaakt. De onbalans, die de visserij langzaam heeft vernietigd, kan niet met lapmiddelen ongedaan worden gemaakt. De natuurlijke verbinding tussen zoet en zout moet weer worden hersteld. De Afsluitdijk moet weer “open”.

U begrijpt wel, dat ik me in Harns op mijn gemak voelde en ik volgde dan ook graag het advies van de telefoon-monteur op. “Als je wilt integreren en begrijpen, dan moet je je verdiepen in de historie van de stad en haar Ommelanden.” Harns, maar ook Midlum en Wynaam, hebben me niet teleur gesteld.

YOLO

Yolo is the spirit of the young and ambitious of this age. Yolo, you only live once. To remind them of this, they tattoo the letters on their arm or shoulder. You have to live your life to the full. Do anything you can think of and live fast, furious and dangerously. If you crash your Ferrari into a tree; the lights go out and you are gone, dead and to be remembered by what you did; even if it means shooting 6-year olds in a classroom and then taking your “own” life. The End.

It is true, you only have one life and you should live it to the full. Having one life means also that you are immortal. In one life you could live forever in one form or another. You live your life in different forms, if need be weven a tree, and levels. In your lifetime, which is also cyclical and can last millions of years on different places (planets), you have to dedicate your manifestation to an aspect of life; nature, culture, spiritual and cosmic destiny. You can be a farmer or a fisherman, but not to earn as much money as possible but you are a farmer, a teacher or a fisherman in that life. Because we are nearing the end of a cycle (Kali Yuga), we start remembering our former lives. How much karma did I gain, how much did I loose? If you come to the conclusion, that you have wasted your life and that your family is full of greedy cheaters, lyers, fascists, pedophiles, criminals and even murderers. When your museums are full of stolen goods and your libraries are full of lies. When you suddenly want to become a vegetarian, because at McDonalds a pamflet was handed, which showed pictures of the other side of meat-production and animal welfare. That day, when you see yet another whale, committing suicide on our shores and you think: “What is going on down there?”

All this and more will be presented to us in the End of Days (the end of the classical 24 hour day and keeping time in space). I am sorry to say, that those who at this moment ignore or dispute and delay, distract and destroy the natural process/cycle we are in, can not be saved (completely). There is simply not enough time left to cleanse yourself and become part of the solution. To survive the coming Apocalypse (the unveiling of universal crime, lying, cheating and exploiting, a time of Judges), you will have to depend on the love and care of others.

POINT OF NO RETURN

“Nothing has happened on the 21^th of December.”, many people say. NASA already had a program planned for the 22^th to explain, why nothing has happened. On the date of the end of the Maya-calendar the counting started again, like on the mileage recounter in your car, starting with 0 again. This is the phalacy of linear and one-dimensional thinking.

The 21 december 2012 marks a point of no return. The warnings and prophesies started a long time ago. For over two hunderd years, people have warned for using wars to gain profit and to use violence as accepted solutions between individuals, groups and nations. Still the military-industrial has grown since World War 2, wars and uprisings are everywhere and trillions of dollars have been used to perfect “the art of war”. They have taken “the road to global peace” hostage and turned it into automatic reactions, that harm the citizens most. We even train youngsters with war- and shooting-games to excell in the art of killing. You may even be rewarded “extra” lives to continue the slaughter. We did not listen and very bad karma found its way and even got institutionalized and are globally active (Syria, Afghanistan, Kongo, Yemen and patrolling every sea). If all that wasted money has been used another way, problems like starvation, killer viruses, cancer, mental health and twisted or lack of education, could have been solved. We choose otherwise. Other warnings have been given about the destruction and pollution of our environment and destruction of natural resources. Forrest, jungle and taiga are stripped and turned into a wasteland. And even though unknown animals and plants are discovered almost every day, known spies of fish and wildlife are hunted or fished into extinction. The sea, my parents knew, is dead and filled with plastic. We did not listen and the destruction went on.

Most of the people on this planet live in poverty, lack fresh water and proper housing. This situation is growing out of hand, but still: instead of getting rid of the slumbs in Brasil, the world community organizes another Olympics. In Africa people desperately seek a way out. When they reach their destination, Europe, they risk to drown or to get shot by a borderguard in Spain. The rich countries don't want to share, thus they will fight them off and deport them, back into mysery.

Our climate is changing and we seem partly responsible for it. In Kyoto plans were made to tackle this problem globally. Since this declaration of unity, nothing has happened, except the volume of greenhouse-gasses, produced by cars, factories and farms, has risen 40 to 50 procent. Mankind was not capable of lowering emissions and will have to pay the price.

This list can go on for ever. We did not treat ourselves, each other, nature and our mother Gaya properly. We leave garbage everywhere; even on Mount Everest or the Moon.

The Maya pointed out the point of no return, when the cyclical powers of our universe and reality gain momentum. We were unable to fulfill our human destiny and the solution, a future for earth and mankind, is taken out of our hands. The question remains; does Earth needs us, on its journey into the future. Unfortunately there seems little to nothing we can do. We are part of the problem.

IS IT HUMAN?

Is the Elite human, how egocentric, manipulative, violent and morally degenerated, they may be? I think, it is essential to know, before you plan your own empire and realize global domination economically, culturally and materially. Accumulation of wealth and money has resulted in 0.1% of the worldpopulation, that ownes almost everything and has recruited another 10% to protect and defend their interests. And this goes, in a planned way, on and is designed to result in global debt, dependency and slavery of the other 90%. The, current, 16 billion dollar debt, lend en spent by the USA, can never be payed back. And the institutions, mainly national banks and global investors, who own the debts and collect the interest, know that. Like Greece the USA will bleed, while foreign banks and investors, dictate and plunder the economy. If China refuses to buy US-bonds anymore, the Chinese own more real dollars, than does Obama c.s. and wants to cash, the USA will be bankrupt in a week. But the question was, are the Elite, the world-leaders, the top-bankers, CEO's and other global players real persons, like you and me and are they human?

Imagine a submarine during World War 2. Trapped on the Atlantic, the U-boat tries to submerge but is hit and water pours in. To save the ship, doors are closed and people drown to let their mates survive. To make such a decision, is it human? Otherwise, is sacrificing your life, to save your loved ones, like on the Titanic happened, a human decision? If you join the army, is that a human act?

Supposedly contracts are signed for participants in “black projects” (secret military or cooperate activities), that gives the government the right to shoot some-one, when they go public? Is this a human contract? If a country has a list of arch-enemies, like the USA, the Soviet Union or Israel, that are sitting ducks, to be assassinated, whenever possible. Is this considered to be a human acvtivity? Is torture, isolation and secret prisons permitted in the world we live in?

Is it human, to strive after gold and diamonds, while you know, that African slaves, mostly children, are worked to death or get killed over wars to control the production of this luxury goods. Same goes for our cell-phones. Rare and precious metals, like coltan and nikkel are worth more than gold and mining it is an ecological disaster, that kills the workers, mostly children. Is it human to eat meat. Not only because of the slaughter of millions of animals, but because of the very bad karma that is set free and finds its way into society.

We have to consider everything, investigate and start asking questions, at least that is human.

REMBRANDT BEZOEKT HARLINGEN

Friesland was vele eeuwen lang slechts over water te bereiken. Was men eenmaal op Fries grondgebied, dan waren de grote en kleine waterwegen en meren het meest betrouwbaar. De wegen in Friesland zelf, maar ook de wegen die ernaar toe leidden waren erbarmelijk. Ze dwongen Philips II, koning van Spanje, boven Zwolle tot de terugtocht, toen hij zijn nieuw verworven gebieden wilde inspecteren.
Harlingen was in die tijd de, vrijwel enige, toegangspoort tot Friesland. Deze positie veranderde pas toen de Afsluitdijk in 1937 werd aangelegd. Er waren dan ook regelmatige veerdiensten op Amsterdam (later ook Hull en Londen), terwijl vanuit Harlingen boten en trekschuiten naar Leeuwarden en Bolsward vertrokken. U kunt zich de dynamiek van dit gebeuren voorstellen. Voor het Heerenlogement vertrokken de boten naar Leeuwarden. Het hoekhuis heet niet voor niets “De Wekker”.
Rembrandt heeft wellicht een aantal malen in een Harlinger logement de nacht doorgebracht. Zeker is, dat hij een aantal malen hier aan wal is gegaan.

De oorzaak van deze bezoeken, zo zou men het kunnen zeggen, was de toenmalige huisbaas van Rembrandt in Amsterdam. Zijn naam was Hendrick van Uylenburg, een beroemde kunstverzamelaar en –handelaar in Amsterdam. Rembrandt was een artiest in opkomst en Hendrick van Uylenburg bezorgde hem opdrachten. Het portret van Nicolaas Ruts dateert uit deze periode.
Via hem leert Rembrandt Hendrick’s nichtje Saskia van Uylenburg kennen. Haar vader is advocaat te en burgemeester van Leeuwarden. Saskia woont met een oudere zuster in het Bildt, ten noorden van Harlingen. Er wordt gediscussieerd of het een verstandshuwelijk is geweest. Vast staat dat het paar zich op 5 juni 1633 verloofde. Rembrandt moet haar toen ontmoet hebben, want terug in Amsterdam tekent hij een bevallige, jonge vrouw met een roos in de hand. Hij schrijft hierbij, dat de tekening de vrouw voorstelt, waarmee hij zich drie dagen daarvoor heeft verloofd. Drie dagen, dat is zo ongeveer de reisduur van Noord-Friesland, via Harlingen naar Amsterdam.
In 1634 trouwt het stel in het Bildt. Dit gebeurt zonder veel plichtplegingen en er is geen familie bij aanwezig. Het lijkt evident, dat het paar direct daarop naar Amsterdam is afgereisd, waar Saskia en Rembrandt bij haar oom intrekken. Het echtpaar is zeker vanuit Harlingen naar Amsterdam vertrokken. In 1639, de zaken gaan goed en de relatie met Saskia, is prima, betrekken ze een groot huis in de Jodenbreestraat (het huidige Rembrandt Huis). Veel geluk brengt deze verhuizing niet. Zoon Titus wordt er ernstig ziek en in 1642 overlijdt Saskia.

Het persoonlijke leven van Rembrandt komt nu in een stroomversnelling. De huishoudster, waarmee Rembrandt een relatie zou hebben gehad, verdwijnt en eindigt in een gesticht. Vervolgens haalt Rembrandt Hendrikje Stoffels in huis om voor de jonge Titus te zorgen. Zij wordt uiteindelijk zijn minnares. Dit leidde tot grote beroering onder de Calvinisten in Amsterdam.
8 Jaar na hun vertrek uit Harlingen is Rembrandt weduwnaar. Dit was niet ongebruikelijk in die jaren. Mannen leefden vaak langer omdat veel vrouwen in het kraambed stierven. Opmerkelijk feit is dat in 1642 Rembrandt zijn meesterwerk“De Nachtwacht” afrondde. Het meisje op dit schutterstableau moet dan wel Saskia van Uylenburg voorstellen.

Wanneer je iemand vraagt, “Wat weet U over oude, stenen monumenten?” Dan komt er vrijwel zeker een verhaal over de trilothons van Stonehenge, de tempels van Chitzen Itza in Mexico of de piramides op het Gizeh-plateau. Meestal is men redelijk goed geïnformeerd en spreekt zijn of haar verbazing en ontroering uit over de schoonheid, magie en de kolossale menselijke inspanningen, die nodig waren om dit monument tot stand te brengen. Onze aardbol ligt bezaaid met dit soort mirakels, Angkor Wat in Cambodja bijvoorbeeld. Sommigen zijn pas recentelijk opgegraven of ontdekt. Anderen werden als bij toverslag zichtbaar voor het menselijk ook en dus voor de geschiedenis. Op alle continenten, zelfs Antarctica en Groenland, vindt men piramide-achtigen. Er staan er 155 in Egypte, maar Zuid- en Midden-Amerika kent er duizenden. In de afgelopen eeuw zijn er piramides ontdekt in Bosnie en in China, waardoor de plaatselijke geschiedenisboekjes naar de prullenbak konden. Maar niet alleen ter land, ook op de zeebodem zijn er piramides ontdekt. Vlak bij Okinawa ligt op een diepte van 50 meter een piramiden-complex met een geschatte ouderdom van 15.000 jaar. Niet alleen betekent dit een beschaving en stadscultuur ver voor, de momenteel gehanteerde data in de geschiedenisboekjes (7 tot 8000 jaar, de eerste stadstaat in Iraq). Ook bewijst het dat de zeespiegel in dat tijdvak, honderd tot 200 meter lager (!) lag, dan in de 21ste eeuw het geval is. Veel ligt er nog onder rivier en zee verborgen, maar de eerste onderzoeksresultaten zijn veelbelovend: Indiase archeologen hebben, in de Golf van Cambay de legendarische stad van Krisjna ontdekt, Dworka; voor de Cubaanse kust is een stad ontdekt; muren, huizen, havens en wegen. Beiden zouden 18.000 jaar oud zijn. De magische rijen megalieten in Carnaq lopen door in zee. En niet zo lang geleden, was dat in Friesland ook het geval. Zo was in de vroege Middeleeuwen het eiland Griend (ook Grijn, nu vogelreservaat) een dorp rijk, met een kerk. Tijdens een stormvloed werd het eiland overstroomd en de overlevenden zochten hun toevlucht in onze stad, die deze groep opnam, net als latere “eco-vluchtelingen” van de eilanden en die gedeelten van Harns, die de zee terugwon.

Maar er zijn ook oude stenen monumenten, soms wel duizenden jaren oud, die we niet als zodanig herkennen, ook al staan we er midden in en bepaalt het ons gedrag en zelfs onze toekomst. “Hidden in plain sight”, een uitdrukking, die je leert kennen als je je verdiept in esoterie en samenzwering-theorieen. Maar dit is geen samenzwering of en mythe, dit monument is realiteit, het is namelijk de stad waar je in woont. Deze mega-complexen zijn zorgvuldig gepland, gebouwd, verbeterd, gegroeid, uitgebouwd en veranderd of aan de “moderne tijd” aangepast. Zo'n stad krijgt een naam en streeft naar pracht, status en moraal. En al die gedachten, gebeurtenissen en ambities vinden hun beslag in de stenen van de stad. Elke stad wordt een organisme, krijgt een mentaliteit, karakteristieke eigenschappen en verwerft een interne structuur; met een hart, de bloedvaten en een buik. Het hier en nu, is de meest recente neerslag van, laten we voorzichtig zijn, 3500 jaar Harlingen geschiedenis. Maar de onbekende geschiedenis van mijn nieuwe woonplaats, ligt nog onder asfalt en Waddenzee verborgen. Het is zo langzamerhand tijd, dat ook deze stenen, en de verhalen/stemmen, die ze bevatten, aan het woord komen.

Als elk vooruitstrevend land worden er in Nederland dierproeven uitgevoerd. In de gezondheidsindustrie, cosmetische research en in laboratoria worden tienduizenden proefdieren, per jaar, gebruikt en meer dan de helft het loodje legt. We hebben het over tientallen apen, marmotten, muizen en ratten. Maar ook grotere zoogdieren worden gebruikt, waaronder honden. De proefdieren worden gevangen, apen, vissen en slangen, maar het grootste aantal wordt gekweekt.

Zo ook honden. Waar gebeurt het dan, wilt U weten? In dit geval op de Utrechtse Universiteit, afdeling Diergeneeskunde.

Robyn is een Beagle en deze zijn uitermate geschikt voor dierproeven, reclamedoeleinden, maar ze hebben nog een voordeel: ze zijn heel sterk en moeilijk “te hanteren”. Dit komt goed van pas, want door deze eigenschap worden Beagles gebruikt voor de opleiding van vee- en dierenartsen. Ze worden dagelijks getiranniseerd, mishandeld en er worden ook allerlei interessante proefjes met ze gedaan. Een dierenarts moet ook leren injecteren en opereren tenslotte. Voor een dergelijk hondenleven leek ze voorbeschikt.

Gelukkig heeft de Universiteit soms dieren over en wij hadden ons als kandidaat gemeld. In mei 2000 werden we gebeld, het hondje mocht opgehaald worden. Dat werd dus Robyn, een vrouwtje zonder een bruin dek.

Ze was 6 weken oud en paste nog op mijn hand. We werden op slag verliefd. Robyn besefte niet aan welk lot ze was ontsnapt. Daarom stapte ze ook onvervaard haar nieuwe wereld in, zich van geen kwaad bewust. Ze was nog zo klein, dat ze onder onze bank kon lopen en dat deed ze.

Onder de bank lag Hazel, die de onbekommerde indringster eerst probeerde te negeren, maar toen dat lukte, met haar poten slaand, onder de bank vandaan roeide. Het leek wel of ze besefte, dat haar schuilplaats voorgoed was verdwenen.

Die nacht heb ik een huilende Beagle uit de kartonnen doos, waar ze moest overnachten, met paar sokken, gehaald. Ik kon het gejank niet verdragen en nam haar daardoor maar in ons bed. Tevreden nestelde ze zich onder de warme dekens.

Het heeft drie dagen geduurd, voordat Hazel haar moederrol accepteerde, maar vanaf dat moment zijn onze twee honden, onafscheidelijk geworden. Zoals Yin en Yang.

ANCIENT STONE STRUCTURES

When you ask a friend, “What do you know of ancient stone-structures.” He will immediately start talking about Stonehenge and the mysteries of the Gizeh-plateau. This seems a natural and logical answer. In the last decennia many of these “anomalies” and mysteries have been explored and explained. Other, who had escaped discovery for thousands of years, simply emerged, were suddenly recognized, the Bosnian and Chinese pyramids f.i., excavated, like Arkaim in the Caucasus or discovered while diving, like Yonaguni, a mysterious underwater structure over 10.000 years old or the Bimini-road.

Our world is covered with mysterious ancient stone-structures. The Maya's built thousands of pyramids and temples and so did many American tribe. They also dug miles-long tunnels through the mountains and used them as hiding-places for their gold and silver or religious artifacts. Many archeolgists are in fact treasure-hunters, like the Conquestadores from Spain. But tunnels and underground complexes are found. Trouble is, that much of the tunnelsystem is flooded and is only accesable, untill now, by divers. Some get lost, never to return.

But ancient stone structures exist, which are much easier found and accessable, we totally ignore. They are hiding in plain sight and they control and dominate us. I am talking about cities.

A city is an organism and the older and bigger it becomes, the organism grows and becomes more and more complex. Main goal of this organism is to survive and outlive other cities, which it sees as rivals. A city is proud and vain, so it stimulates and activates it citizens to build beautiful palaces, temples of any domination, whatsoever, roads to move the military and trade. The city wanted to be a center of the world and political, military and governmental powers were centralized there. The city wanted to be the centre of religous and spiritual power. Many beautiful churches and domes were build in Europe till the late 1900's.

These accumulation of power, wealth and pride led to feelings of superiority, which led to clashes and warfare between competing city-states. When you live in a city and you want to break free; you have to study your past. To begin with.

De stenen van de stad, h. 3

Maar goed, ik zou dit groepje “Hollandse” emigranten aan U voorstellen, dat naar hun, splinternieuwe, woning in het Noorderkwartier trok. Laat ik beginnen met onze honden. We hebben er twee: een zwarte (Hazel, om haar mooie ogen) en een vale Beagle, genaamd Robyn. Yin en Yang, zoals ze in de mand liggen te slapen en dat doen ze uitgebreid en luidruchtig snurkend. Ooit zal i er nog eens een foto van maken om als kerstkaart te gebruiken. Vrede op aarde.

Hazel is 5 december 15 geworden, onze oude dame en tot moeder gepromoveerd, toen Robyn in ons leven kwam, 3 jaar later. Het zijn beide honden met een verhaal. Hazel in Utrecht op straat gevangen en naar het asiel gebracht, vandaar de geboortedatum. Al snel werd duidelijk, dat Hazel in haar jonge leven ernstig mishandeld was. Ze was doodsbang voor mensen, schuivende stoelen of dichtslaande deuren. Haar staart was met een doodgewone schaalr slordig en gerafeld afgeknipt. Hazel raakte in paniek bij dichtslaande deuren, vuurwerk en onweer. Ze was nog steeds niet zindelijk en niemand uit het asiel kon haar benaderen. De medewerkers hadden Hazel al afgeschreven. Een half jaar oud en dan al afgeschreven. Slechts een toekomst en een kort leven in een ijzeren kooi.

Hazel is een mooie pikzwarte, medium hond en een witte bef in de vorm van een kruis. En ze heeft een geknikt oor en dat geeft haar een vrolijke en laconieke uitdrukking. Het was precies de reden waarom mijn vrouw, die ik toen nog niet kende, en haar zus Hazel uitkozen. Nota bene als waakhond, om te voorkomen, dat er opnieuw werd ingebroken. Ja, je leeft in de grote stad en dat is inbraak, vernieling, overlast en fietsendiefstal, iets waar je mee moet leren leven. Ik ben drie fietsen kwijtgeraakt en is er 1 in brand gestoken door onze buurtbende. Een niet te stuiten golf van overlast, bedreiging, belediging en vernieling, waar de politie niets tegen kon doen. Toen al, 1998, werd een homo-stel door Marokkaanse jongeren weggepest naar de Vinex-wijk en stond met Oud-op-Nieuw het binnenplein in brand en werden de glazen ramen en de deur met voetzoekers opgeblazen en drong men jet portaal in om de planten te vernielen. Een regelrechte oorlogssituatie, die, uit onmacht of onwil, met de mantel daar liefde werd bedekt. Als bewoners stonden we er alleen voor. Maar deze groeiende overlast van jongetjes, die nog 16 moeten worden, speelde een belangrijke rol in onze keus om te vertrekken.

Zelfs mijn vrouw stelde Hazel uiteindelijk een ultimatum . Zindelijk worden, of anders terug naar het asiel. Ze heeft het, wonderbaarlijk genoeg, begrepen en werd zindelijk. Wat overbleef was een angstig hondje, dat zich verschool achter de gordijnen of onder de bank kroop. Ze sloeg bij het minste of geringste aan, waardoor we haar niet alleen konden laten.

Het leek ons toen een goed idee, om een tweede hond te nemen. Een vriendin voor Hazel.

Dat werd Robyn. Ook al een hond met een verhaal. Robyn hebben we gered van een leven in een laboratorium!

EVERYTHING OLD WILL BE AS NEW

Everything old will be presented as new. That's one of the aspects to be reckoned with after the end (and restart) of the Mayan Calender. Music, art, fashion and work will rerout towards the past. It's a path towards liberation if we want it; but it will be a path of doom and slavery, if we let the “Masters of Fear” (and ignorance) have their way and we wake up in a totalaterian global system and you have to put on your uniform. Both possibilities are still open, though I think that liberation and feasting over new paradigms will prevail. John Lennon is in the air again. Just listen en enforce the field, that is active at the moment. All kinds of energypatterns are cleaning your mind and waking you up. Slow down and concentrate on that wave and try to stay (!) part of it. When this has happened, you will enjoy it. But don't over do it, be quiet. You just have obtained almost magical knowledge. But it is only the beginning. Better to read a book now, than to talk with a friend. You better sit back and watch. When you do this in a meditative way, you will see the connections (literally) around you. Stick to that, otherwise you will fly away. The power of the field can take you up and drop you far away. You will get lost and will have “muchos problemos”. Problem is, that there are many people who cannot see or feel the force-field around them or ignore and bagatellised it. But there are people that do see these interactions and dependencies. They even manipulate the field, to control people and make them fearful and full of rage and anger. As a individual, but also as a group.

The commercial media companies deliberately shower us with war, destruction, killings, battles and dangerous sports, just to create “the global, universal” He-man. In a way they created a monster. To have some kind of identity, people en-act movie-scenes or get inspired by war-games and Batman-movies. I call this the worst form of child-abuse ever and it will go on, because respectable business-man and coorporations make millions and we suffer braindamage.

My advice. Make free your mind and ban this destructive (material and spiritual) input out of your life. Start downgrading and go back to basics. What do you need, when everething old will be as new again. Turn to and connect with nature. A good place to start, when you can find any.

DE STENEN VAN DE STAD, h. 2

Het was een wonderbaarlijke ervaring, toen ik tegen 5 uur onze nieuwe woonplaats binnenreed, op weg naar de nieuwe woning. Door mengeling van mist en de dalende zon toonde de stad zich als een sprookje. Vooral, die eerste blik op de Zoutsloot kan ik me nog precies voor de geest halen. “Dat we hier komen te wonen.”, klonk het in mijn hoofd. Na de kille, koude, rationele en betonnen leefomgeving van Utrecht, stapten we plotseling een oude ansichtkaart binnen.

We wonen onder de Noorderdwinger, een historische naam, die dateert op de Middeleeuwen en in de tijd dat het als vesting diende, die verwees naar het feit, dat hier kanonnen stonden om de waterlopen en grachtswallen te beschermen, die toegang gaven tot de stad. Om de stad te bereiken, was water de aangewezen weg. Over het IJsselmeer naar Enkhuizen en Amsterdam bijvoorbeeld, een route, die Rembrandt heeft gevaren, op weg naar Saskia.

Zijn voetstappen moeten op de Voorstraat of de Lanen hebben geklonken. Boten naar Londen en Hull, waardoor het de bijnaam “Klein Londen”kreeg en pendelboten: de aanzienlijke beurtvaart naar Franeker, Bolsward en Leeuwarden. Het Franekereind herinnert hier nog aan. Hier lagen de boten voor Franeker. Er bestond nog geen Afsluitdijk en Tjerk Hiddeszsluizen en daardoor was de stad de toegangspoort en de uitlaatklep van een totale provincie. Ik probeer me het tumult en de dynamiek tegelmatig voor te stellen, als ik in de vroege ochtend met mijn honden door de binnenstad wandel. Je wordt dan niet afgeleid door enige economische activiteit van betekenis of menselijk verkeer. De binnenstad is leeg en uitgestorven. Knooppunt van verkeer binnen Friesland en daarbuiten is men al lang niet meer. Door de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk, snelwegen en de sluizen bij het van Harinxmakanaal, is de mobiliteit enorm vergroot, net als de schepen. Het gaat nu aan ons voorbij en dat schaadt de oude economie, vooral de visserij, overslag en dienstverlening verdwijnt. De stad profiteert ook niet van de groeiende populariteit van de Wadden-eilanden. De veerboten naar Terschelling en Vlieland varen af en aan en duizenden komen naar Harlingen, om vervolgens de auto te parkeren, een lucratieve business, en een kaartje te kopen. Weg zijn ze en ze zetten geen stap in de oude binnenstad, het winkelgebied. Bezoekers, die deze prachtige provincie willen bezoeken, rijden ons voorbij en belandden in Sneek of Leeuwarden. Onbekend maakt, (toeristisch) onbemind. Alleen Piet Paulusma timmert aan de weg. Hij heeft Harlingen tot het“stormcentrum' van Nederland gemaakt.

Persoonlijk ben ik daar wel tevreden mee. Ik vergelijk het soms met de stad Praag. Ik bezocht de, toen nog communistische, stad in de 70er jaren van de vorige eeuw.

Het was een sobere, grijze en stoffige stad. Maar onder die laag van verwaarlozing, kon je de eigen pracht en praal, nog goed te zijn. De stad was ook eenduidig, zonder afbraak en dissonante nieuwbouw.“Gered door het communisme.”, zei ik tegen mijn toenmalige vriendin, toen we door de stegen van de “Nieuwe stad” slenterden en klommen op weg naar het voormalige paleis.

Harlingen vergelijken met Praag? Daarmee moet je uitkijken. Door de eeuwen van isolement (geografisch) en de dynamiek van de haven heeft de stad zich van Friesland afgescheiden. Bekend is het verhaal van een inwoner van Harns, die in Amsterdam werd gevraagd of hij soms uit Friesland kwam. Het antwoord was: “Nee, ik kom uit Harlingen!”

DE STENEN VAN DE STAD, h.1

Het waren tochtige dagen in mijn stamcafé, terwijl de stuifsneeuw langzaam naar binnenkroop om het uiteindelijk toch te verliezen van de verenigde warmte van een houtvuur en de cv te verliezen. Het werd langzamerhand modderig op die paar vierkante meter eikenhout, die door de beheerder steevast “de ren” werd genoemd. Hanen en hennen, het speelt zich allemaal voor mijn neus af.” De tafeltjes waren steevast bezet door studentikoze ouderen van de plaatselijke 50PLUS-afdeling met lap-tops en stapels papier. En 6 krukken aan de koperen bar. Het café “Licht in de Duisternis” was mijn stamcafé, en wel omdat het de enige kroeg was, die op loopafstand lag van mijn woning. Het huis lag in een gedeelte van het oude centrum, dat om allerlei redenen, verstoken was van voorzieningen. Geen pin-automaat, slechts 1 brievenbus, alleen een biologische winkel, geen cafetaria of café. Er werd ook niet gestrooid bij gladheid, waardoor allerlei gepensioneerden (m/v) soms maanden aan huis waren gekluisterd.

“Licht in de Duisternis” lag aan een sas, zijnde een sluis tussen zout en zoet water en werd in het verleden bezocht door schippers, matrozen en douaniers. De douaniers waren verdwenen en vervangen door gepensioneerde huisartsen, machinisten en gemeente-ambtenaren. Het rook, als de deur weer eens open vloog, naar zeewater en daar kreeg je dorst van.

Maar laat ik ons eerst even voorstellen. Mijn vrouw, onze twee honden en ik wonen nu 10 jaar in deze oude Friese havenplaats. Weggevlucht als we waren uit de catacomben van Babylon; de stinkende, smerige en bedreigende binnenstad van Utrecht. Wat een romantische plek moest worden als start voor ons gezamenlijke leven, we zijn in 1999 getrouwd, verwerd tot een bestaan op een vluchtheuvel, te midden van een, niet aflatende verkeersstroom. Drie hoog, terwijl onder ons stadsbus na stadsbus met een jankend geluid langsgierde, kop-staart botsingen, ook tussen fietsers, aan de orde van de dag waren en in de spaarzame momenten stilte, was het gevloek en gescheld tussen de verkeersdeelnemers, duidelijk hoorbaar. Ter hoogte van ons appartement remden de treinen duidelijk hoorbaar en was onze straat, genoemd naar de Middeleeuwse grasvelden, waarop de was te drogen werd gelegd, de favoriete route van ambulances en politie-automobielen. Met loeiende sirene natuurlijk. En dan heb ik het nog niet over het fijnstof en de veiligheid van vooral fietsers, wandelaars en natuurlijk, honden. De oude bleekvelden zijn teruggebracht tot een stukje “postzegelnatuur”. Een paar armetierige bomen, u zult zo begrijpen waarom en verder een grasvlakte van 200 m2. Te gebruiken als kinderspeelplaats en als hondentoilet. Voor onze trouwe viervoeters, belastingbetalers, bleef zo'n 50 vierkante meter over. De bomen hebben geen schijn van kans. Om dit veldje te bereiken, werden we gedwongen om van stoplichten gebruik te maken. Hemelsbreed betrof het een 30 meter! In totaal moesten we vijf (5) verkeersbanen over om het poepveld te kunnen bezoeken. De stoplichten hebben uitsluitend oog voor de vierwielers. Maar wee, als je stiekem oversteekt of het stoplicht negeert. Alsof ze er een neus en een oog voor hebben, staat daar opeen de wijkagent. Je mag dan nog blij zijn met een bestraffende preek, Alleen al voor de leefkwaliteit voor onze honden, was het tijd om te verkassen.

THE FIFTH YUGA

“What we think, we become.” This saying is attributed to the Buddha and it contains a lot of hidden wisdom. It emphasis the power of our mind and its immense possibilities. But what you think is limited by what you know. This refers to the process you are in (of learning and practise), but also, by what you essentially KNOW. How much understanding do you have of the world around you. This understanding is limited by what is presented to us as “common sense”, “proven concepts” and the other forms of braincontrol you had to endure, during your upbringing and education. A rigidness you have on the jobs you will have and the career, organized for you (not by you). Whole levels of our world are labeled as uninteresting, boring and not very useful. Some are even proved to be non-existant and even dangerous. Ignorance is the source of all suffering.

Strangely enough most of the important decisions are made ons these fields (history, politics, religion, law, mathematics and medicine and on the terrain of manipulation, occultism and magick and mind-control (media).

“What you think, you can become. The world we experience is created by us. Change and progress depend on people, who think. I think, therefore I am, what I am (choose to be)”. Not by following the classical paradigms, but by thinking outside the box. Free energy f.i. and mass-food cultivation are technically possible, but the time is not ripe yet. By this I mean, that you always have to “calculate in”, the part of the cycle you are in. This can mean age, experience or marriage, or gender (and/or sexual preferences), but also the cosmical cycles, we are subject to.

In many relious traditions these phases are linked to (precious) metal: gold, silver, bronze and iron. In the Golden Age humans live long cosmic and spiritual lives. Evil is far, far away. But mankind regresses, when it at last reaches the period of iron. Mankind lives short and unfulfilled lives (100 years maximum), have limited capacities and can explore and change the environment, only by explosions. Mankind eats iron and mingles wit evil demons.

Generally the cosmic cycle is limited to these four phases. We live, at this very moment in the last phase of human development and the cosmic cycle. A golden Age is just around the corner. Mankind relaxes, but forgets the “Hidden Yuga”; that confronts individuals when they are frightened so much by the on-coming global (and personal) changes, that panic strikes and fear paralyzes your every move. Then Medusa appears and turns you into stone. At that moment you enter the Hidden Yuga. A parallel universe, made out of stone. A cycle of doom and condemnation, for ever.

THE KALI-YUGA

Monotheistic religions are eschatological. It means that part of their doctrine accepts a (catastrofic) end of the world we live in and the people on it. Christians call it an Apocalypse. This is one of many words, that has completely drifted away from its orginal meaning. Apocalypse means “unveiling” and is compared with the opening of the curtains, when a play begins. Theologians and priests seem to think, that when the audience is seated and the curtains are lifted, gunmen will appear, who start shooting the visitors. This may come true in the United States, but is highly unexpected in a global way.

Unveiling of new meanings and a new environment can be troublesome, but it is part of the path we have to follow. Thinking in concepts based on “Revelation” lead only to fear, because you as an individual, are beyond salvation. Fear makes us to victims and (mental) slaves, hindering the enlightenment of mankind.

Some entities live on fear and so do cooperations and the government. The media for instance have bombarded us with all kinds of horror-scenarios, we will be confronted with. Asteroids bombarding Earth, pandemics, super-storms, solar blasts, super-volcanoes, global drowning because of tsunamis and all these disastrous events, all placed in a context of extinction prophesied by the Bible, ancient fortunetellers and the Maya-calendar. This all presented in a “End of the world-weekend” (NGC).

This is all fake, dis-information and it distracts you, from what really is happening in the world around and what is influencing your future and destiny.

One of the Biblical prophets, often quoted as proof for the nearing of the Endtimes, is Daniel's, the lion-whisperer, explanation of Nebukadnezar's, king of Babylon and conqueror of Jerusalem, nightmare. He explains to the King, that his dream describes the future of mankind. The statue, Nebukadnezar saw in his dream, had a golden head (Babylon), a silver breast (identified as Persia), a bronze waist (Greece) and iron legs (Rome). The feet would be made of a mixture of iron and mud. This weakness makes the statue crumble and fall, when it is hit by a rock (the Apocalypse). This is a negative and destructive process, that finishes us of in the End. We don't stand a chance.

Hindu's accept the acceptance of a similar cycle, that is divided in a golden, silver, bronze and iron “yuga”. We live in the Kali-yuga, a dark age, with a short life-span (100 years) and with evil and demons living inside and among us. It's for every believer a constant struggle to stay on the right path. But the Kali-yuga will end and a new golden period of millions of years will start. We will be purified and live a very long and spiritual life. The demons and evil will be gone. Deported to a far-away planet.

REINHARD GEHLEN

When the Second World War neared its end in Europa, many influential Nazi's, scientists and bureaucrats made preparations for the future. Some committed suicide, some fled to Sweden or South-America or went underground. Other prepared their defection to the Allies and Heinrich Himmler, 2^nd in the Reich and leader of the SS and the Gestapo, approached the Americans and Churchill, personally, with a offering of peace. The Allied Forces and the German troops would move east to fight the real enemy: the Soviet-Union. The Eastern Front was crumbling and the Red Army was 100 miles from Berlin.

Churchill and the Americans refused to negotiate. Nazi-Germany had to surrencer unconditionally. Hitler was furious, when he heard that Himmler had betrayed him. He decided to fight till the end.

Reinhard Gehlen was a Wehrmacht-general, who was responsible for information-gathering and espionage at the Eastern Front. He knew that the war was lost and when he confronted Hitler, he was fired. But Gehlen did not quit. He was sure, that after the defeat of Germany a confrontation with the Soviet-Union and communism would be next. Together with his staff he buried tuns of data, on different places in the Bavarian Alps.

After the war Reinhard Gehlen offered the information and his expertise to the Americans. Finally the general and his staff were flown to the USA to brief the US Military. Although there were doubts about his actions during WW2, the USA was glad to cooperate and even financed 'Organization Gehlen”, when they went home and started gathering information about the Sovjiet-Union, the occupied countries and the Russian Occupation Zone. On a yearly basis Gehlen received half a million dollars to pay for his services. Reinhard Gehlen recruted many old friends and fellow Nazis, with a dark past. One of them was Klaus Barbie, who worked for America for years. This made them easy targets for Soviet spies. In the 50s en 60s many double agents and Soviet spies were active in Gehlen's.

Gehlen and his man were responsible for a constant flow of documents, plans and top-secret information, which fed the common opinion, that the Soviets were preparing for a war, to conquer Western Europe. The necessary divisions were placed and trained, ready to strike; as was the case in 1940, which led to Hitler's “pre-emptive” strike in 1941.

The results of Gehlen's spies and under-cover agents had an enormous impact on the American foreign policy and it is fundamental for understanding the Cold War, first formulated by Winston Churchill. Again “Dark Ages” had begun.

In fact Reinhard Gehlen was a war-criminal. His information was gathered by torture, cruelty, slaughter, mass-executions and fear. He committed crimes against human dignity and humanity. Those who talked, were killed, when no longer useful. He should have been put on trial for this. Even worse. When the US-government were forced to publish reports of the “Gehlen Organisation”, most of the gathered information and research was only partly true and mostly completely wrong. An impressive form of “Agitprop”, the Germans propagandists during the Nazi-regime were common to use. Reinhard Gehlen is seen as the founder of German “Intelligenz”-department. He also did everything he could, to realize Heinrich Himmler's plan of a war of the Allies (including Germany) against Russia end the Eastern European states. Battlefield Europa and a final tank-battle, fought on ancient battlegrounds in Poland and Ukrain.

But relax. We have gone global now.

DE AUTORITAIRE PERSOONLIJKHEID

Adorno's“autoritaire persoonlijkheid” is, vanuit psychologisch oogpunt, meermalen onderzocht. Beroemd is het Amerikaanse onderzoek, op behavioristische leest geschoeide, onderzoek, waarbij de, betaalde, proefpersonen, stroomstoten toedienden aan deelnemers, die een vraag uit de test foutief beantwoordden. De kracht van de stroomstoot werd groter, naarmate het aantal fouten toenam. Het zei gezegd: de proefpersonen, die simuleerden dat ze een stroomstoot kregen, waren niet zichtbaar, wel was het geschreeuw en gekerm duidelijk te horen, en ze moedigden hun kwelgeesten aan om door te gaan. Uiteindelijk was de toegediende dosis (op papier) dodelijk.

Een aantal proefpersonen ging door “tot het gaatje”, anderen haakten af. Toch kon men concluderen, dat alle proefpersonen de bestraffing accepteerden en veel verder gingen, dan ze voor zichzelf voor mogelijk hielden.

In de film “Ghostbusters” komt dit experiment terug. Een fout“telepatisch' antwoord, wordt “beloond” met een stroomstoot. De hoofdpersoon is uiterst selectief bij deze “beloningen”,uitsluitend om bij een jonge studente in het gevlei te komen.

Toen de rapporten over deze “schokkende experimenten” naar buiten kwamen, schrok menigeen van de zichtbaar gemaakte “autoritaire persoonlijk”, d.w.z. Een individu, dat bereid is orders uit te voeren en richtlijnen, zonder vragen te stellen, te volgen. “Befehl ist Befehl” and “Sir, yes Sir!” Het leger, beveiligingsbedrijven en multinationals screenen sollicitanten op dit aspect en dit is vaak bepalend voor de carrière of afwijzing.

Toen men van de eerste schrik bekomen was, zwol de kritiek aan. Misschien gedroeg een proefpersoon in een test-situatie en een vaste proefopstelling, zich zo gewelddadig, maar in maatschappelijke/sociale situaties speelden heel andere factoren een rol: geweten, normen en waarden, respect en sociale controle. Het bleek, dat proefpersonen, die geïnformeerd waren over de aard van het experiment, afhaakten of niet op kwamen dagen. Triomfeert de menselijkheid?

We zitten allemaal in dit experiment. Onze deelname is bepalend voor ons welzijn. De pijn wordt geleden ver buiten ons gezichtsveld en we voelen ons daarom niet verantwoordelijk voor de gevolgen van onze keuzes. Wij straffen onze proefpersonen onnadenkend, achteloos, anoniem, gewelddadig, vernietigend en letterlijk gewetenloos. Zonder het te weten is elke hap aan het kerstmaal het restant, van een levend dier en maakt het onderdeel uit van “Slaughterhouse Earth”;de groenten en rozen gekweekt in Pakistan en Kenia door, onderbetaalde, boerenvrouwen zijn illustratief voor het uitbuitende karakter van het mondiale kapitalisme en is de kerstboom, zoals onze eigen spaarzame natuur, ten dode opgeschreven. De versiering, de bloemen zijn, net als het pakpapier, bij voorbaat verkreukt.

Aan de kerstdis schenken we elkaar de nieuwe “smartphone” en“tablet”. We weten niet, en handelen dus zonder te weten, dat zeldzame metalen nodig zijn als nikkel en coltan. De winning ervan vernietigt de natuur en het menselijk ecosysteem. Onder onze ogen en op ons mobiel aanschouwen we de oorlogen, die er in Afrika worden uitgevochten om het bezit van diamant-, goud- en nikkel mijnen. De eerste doden voor de nieuwe generatie Ipad zijn al gevallen en jonge kinderen worden gebruikt als slaven, prostituees en soldaten in afgelegen gebieden. Toch geven we elkaar goud en diamanten kado, ook al kleeft er bloed en zweet van de Afrikaanse jeugd aan. Bij elke fles parfum, zo mooi verpakt, zou het overlijdensbericht van een walvis moeten plaatst.

Ons handelen zou je kunnen omschrijven, als het gooien van een steen over een muur. Zonder te weten, wat er aan de andere kant gebeurt; op wat geschreeuw en pijn na, wat we dempen met collectes, projecten, in-entingscampagnes en Fair Trade. Van eerlijk delen is nog steeds geen sprake en onze onwetendheid veroorzaakt enkel lijden, wanneer we blijven, weigeren, zoals de kardinalen op bezoek bij Galileo Galilei, om over de muur te kijken.

MOUNT SINAI

Beliefsystems like Roman Catholisism have always had difficulty with incorporating scintific insights, which seemingly contradicting religious doctrine. Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake, when he concluded, that the sun did not revolve around the earth, but the other way round. Galileo Galilei escaped this fate, but was isolated from contemporary scientists and researchers by house-arrest till his death. The small, protestant university in Leiden (the Netherlands) changellenged the Catholics, by inviting Galilei, to become a professor in the new Republic. It's a glimpse of the pressure, blackmail and silencing scientists and researchers felt in the Middle Ages and are feeiling even to this day. Most of the time two (or even more) interpretations live side by side, even if the data contradict each-other. Officially, calculated by theologians, our Earth (and mankind) was created around 4000 years (before Christ) and destroyed by the Flood 2000 years later. Noah and his kin repopulated the Earth succesfully, which led to our world now, being over 6000 year old. Archeologists and geologists have a completely different perspective. The earth came in to existence 4,5 billion years ago. The proto-types of modern man appeared 250.000 years ago. Neanderthal-men disappeared (by the hands modern man) and Homo Sapiens became dominant and conquered the world. First civilizations are dug up, who are 8 to 10.000 years old. One of them was the city of Ur, the city of Abraham, in Eufraat/Tigris delta. Abraham, also recognised as a Patriarch by the Muslims, left Sumeria, with his people and wandered, till he reached the Holy Land.

The Bible is used by many as a history-book; in so far, the existence of cities, countries, palaces and temple-complexes have been proven, to be correct several times. Some places, like Jerusalem, Megiddo and Bethlehem, still exist. This gives a kind of legitimacy to Bible-stories. Many think that Jericho was brought down by the trumpets and horns of the Jews. A God-given miracle! But it seems much more plausible, that earthquakes destroyed Jericho. Digs show layer after layer of collapse, due to earthquakes and the rebuilding of the city of Jericho (10 times or even more). Almost all the centres of mankind in the area have been struck by earthquakes many times (Troy, Mycene, Crete, Alexandria and Jerusalem a.o.). Jerusalem was struck by one, at the moment Jesus died.

In the book of Exodus we find a description of the escape of the Israelites from the tiranny of the Pharaoh. A miraculous escape, when God's hands open the waters of the Red Sea. The Israelites escape, while the charriots of Egypt were destroyed by the waters. The refugees wandered through the dessert (including women, elderly, children, possessions and lifestock), till they arrived at Mount Sinai (in the Sinai-dessert), where the foundations of the Covenant with God were created, by means of the Ten Commandments. After a 40-year journey they reached the borders of the Promised Land.

Recently alternatives have been put forward. Researchers and archeologists claim, that Moses and the Israelites followed a different route and received the 10 Commandments on another mountain, not situated on the Sinai-peninsula, but in Saudi-Arabia!

What arguments for an alternative explanation do these (christian-)archeologists, like Paul Ryan use?

First of all, the Jews lived in an area called Gosen, in the North-Eastern delta of the Nile. They worked as slaves, to build Pharaonic cities, like Pi-Rameses, which was discovered about 30 years ago, in the Eastern delta. The Jews were supposed to flee out of Egypt, not into it, which would have happened if the made the crossing at the classical place. Fleeing to the North was impossible, because of the might of the Philistines. It seems logical, that the tribes headed for Midjan, to the south. Moses fled to this area after he had killed an Egyptian and feared punishment. He knew the route and the people from his former stay. Midjan is located on the Northern shores of Saudi-Arabia. The crossing must have happened across the Gulf of Aqaba. Divers have found several Egyptian charriot-wheels in the waters of the Gulf. Across the waters Ryan identified Mount Sinai, the Rock, split by Moses and remnants of a Jewish holy-site, with Egyptian-like artwork. Sensational is the discovery of a pillar, placed at the shore. The pillar was placed there by Salomon (!) in memory of the crossing. These miraculous findings cannot be chequed, because of the delicate political situation in the area, but if this story is true, another mysterious part of the Exodus would be explained. God showed the Jews the way, by a pillar of smoke at daytime and a fire at night. Ufo's? There could be a much simpler explanation: a volcano.

There is even a plausible candidate: the “Gabal-al-Lauz”, now dormant, but active 3500 years ago.

THE PHARAONIC MYTH

What would be the life-expectansy of a child, born 10.000 years ago in Egypt, on a farm, near the Gizeh-plateau? He, we always talk of we, the life-expectansy of a woman, is a completely different one!, could reach an age of 50 or 60. Might, because the skeletons of old people are scarce. Often skeletons are found, that, according to forensic science, had died in battle and were severely wounded. Almost all remains also had wounds, that had healed and were treated. Egyptian doctors could perform brain surgery and operating tools developed by the Romans, are still in use today. Otzi, the Iceman, was killed by an arrow, but had survived earlier wounds. Combined with hard, manual labor, war and soldiering and dangerous animals, like crocodiles and snakes, many youngster never reached the age of thirty (Tut-Ankh-Amon died at the age of 18).

A pharao like Ramses II (the Great) ruled for more than half a century. For many it would seem, that Ramses really was a God. He did not age (make up), did not suffer, was succesfull in battle and lived forever. In the Bible,Menthusalem is mentioned as the oldest living man. Adam, Kain (not Abel), Noah, Moses and many others lived for hundreds of years. Because we are expelled from Paradise and crippled after the Flood, our lifespan grew less and less. Only in the last centuries, due to medicine and drugs, the average age grew. Now being about 80 years in Holland. But in African countries or Russia, you may be glad to reach 60.

What if an extraterrestial craft stranded on earth. Its population mainly humanoid, with some Reptilians and Greys, comes into contact with local proto-Egyptian tribes, living a life of luxury in the green and fertile Nile-delta. Neolithic culture is friendly and open (to Change, they still remembered “The Ice”). The aliens were welcomed and because of their advanced technology and knowledge, they became important (medicine) and influential. Neolithic man (an woman) became addicted to this “Wealth of the Gods”. In the End they completely took over and introduced the “Pharaonic System”, or “Gizeh Intelligence”. For the Egyptians the Pharao was (literally) immortal and in fact he was. Ramses I till 12, where one and the same person. So were all the Tutmoses'. Cleopatra had reigned 7 times, before she was forced to commit suicide. Interestingly, the mummy of Ramses the Great, has been discovered in the Valley of the Kings and exhibited at the Cairo Museum, untill this moment.

 

PRISON PLANET

Reality is an illusion. A holographic “tendency to exist”, which presents itself in a multi-dimensional way. Interacting energy-packets directed by our pineal gland and materializing only when observed.

So far, so good. We talk too much. We are talking (and writing down) for 12.000 years (or more) and creating a reality, where we can talk our way out of. At least, that's what we think. Really, could you explain your actions and intentions, you so devoted too, when Saint Peter would ask you to? Did your life's work create something extra and new, or was it just copying a mirror, consuming and plain sin? Remember, Judgement Day is a reality; one way or another. What if your grandchildren ask you: “Why did you drive your car every day, why not walk?” In fact they are asking: “Why did you use all the natural resources, if there was no to-morrow? Did any substantial survive? And why do we have to live in a world without trees, birds and a deadly and explosive atmosphere?”

This reality/future is real and will come true. If you want it or not. We are stuck here and there is no way out, if we continue fighting each-other. Although matter hardly exists, one bullit is enough, most of the time and we can not walk through a wall, yet.

If you hurt some-one, it may be illusion to you, but not to the victim. An unexpected and violent death “kills” your soul and radically chances your future. Earth is a, distorted and manipulated, reincarnation-machine (with Earth I mean our solar system (in a broad sence). It's all so a training-ground for spiritual development. Earth (and the solar system) create possibilities of growth and development (12 levels, to start with).

It's also a prison-planet. We are not supposed to get out and discover our own potential. By developing our potential we would break free, destroy the killing status-quo and could reach for the stars (literally and spiritually). This would bring all the ruling powers of our universe tumbling down. If science was much more, than numbers and matter, from universities to “Kindergarten” the curriculum has to change. If spiritual beings don't argue and compete with guns, warfare and secret operations; you don't need armies, navies and secret services. If thought is an act of creation, food and drinking is no problem. Finally, there is a global base for a collective “ascension”. There are no problems, just people! And the people will change, not the instutions. They will slowly and with a lot of resistance, fade away. But if God does not exist in the way IT was always presented. Who needs all the monks, priests, counselors, consultants, pastors, theologians in the traditional way. It could mean a tremendous positive input to realise a human society, in a basic and necessary way.

PREPARE FOR A BUMPY RIDE

In the North-East of Colombia lives an Indian-tribe, called the Kogi. Not untill recently, they lived very isolated. By blocking the few roads and bridges, they kept away authorities, fortune-seekers and tourists. Sometimes they were seen in the city, but the indians seemingly did not interact with Columbians. Nobody knew or spoke their language.

In the 1990's the Kogi-tribe suddenly made the headlines, worldwide. Through intermediars the Indians invited some British and local journalists.

The Kogi call us “the Younger People”, they, themselves are “the Elder People”. Both groups seperated a long time ago, but now, they are clashing world-wide, with disastrous consequences. Even the habitat of the Koni was influenced. The area, the Kogi live in, is a caleidoscope of habitats, eco-systems and climate zones. High, icy moutains, transform to rainforrest, when you walk down. There are deserts, glaciers, swamps and tropical beaches. The “Mammas's”,the sjahmans, claim that “all of creation” is gathered here. The Kogi function as gardeners and safeguards of a miniature of Earth (and the Garden of Eden).

But they fight a loosing battle. The worldwide pollution and eco-destruction influence and endanger this little Paradise. The harmony and growth, slowly changed into chaos and decay. We, with our Western lifestyle, are the only ones, who can stop this doom-scenario. If not, our world will tumble down into the abyss, to be purified with fire and water.

Nothing has changed in recent years. The exploitation , polluting, poisoning of our world goes on. Never before, we have polluted our atmosphere this much. The sjahmans of the Kogi are quite sure. We have passed the point of no-return.

I agree. Prepare for a bumpy ride.

CLEANSING

It is all part of a cleansing project, a global (solar) cleansing project. What I mean by it? Let me put it this way. When I was 21 years old (in 1969), there was only one major threat for family, life and property. That was the impact of a nuclear or hydrogen bomb. Everybody agreed, if these weapons of mass-destruction could be banished, a period of global peace and prosperity. I participated in several, big, peace-demonstrations and felt the spirit. It would only be a matter of time!

I am 64 years old now and if you ask me, to name a threat for our society, our way of living and our future, I would ask you to sit down and to listen. After forty years of universal effort to create a “New Jerusalem”, I live in a “concept” dominated by a “war of terror”, “war on drugs”, random shootings, gang violence, economic collaps and poverty. If I travel 12 hours by plane, I can see children starving to death or to be used as prostitutes or slave labor. Part of this “concept of fear” are completely man-made. We pollute the sky and the water of our planet. We plunder our natural resources till breaking-point. But the implanting of fear goes even further. At any moment an asteroid can hit the earth or a super-volcano may explode. Natural disasters of a megatitude, that would effect the whole earth. Many are expecting a giant-tsunami, when the volcano on Grand Canaria will erupt or a a mega-quake, expected anytime now, will hit San Francisco. Disasters like that will change everything. Large parts of the USA will have to be evacuated, housed and fed. And what about the solar storm. This could destroy our energy- and communicationsystems, bringing us back to the Stone Age. New cult-figures are created, like “the Preppers”. Individuals, families and small communities are preparing for a “society-infarct”, caused by a pandemic or the collapse of the economy. They store food, water, seeds and medicine and build bunkersystems and underground gardens. Extremely important are weapons; the more the better. Society will become much more violent (!) after the collaps, so you must defend yourself and your property. 10-year olds are trained to use a gun, throw an axe and practise hand-to-hand combat.

What about the nuclear threat? It's still present. Not only because of the dirty bomb, terrorists could use or North-Korea testing A-bombs. The nuclear threat has expanded and may be unstopable. This is all happening in plain sight (Tsjernobyl and Fukusjima!). But remember, it's all part of a cleansing proces.

COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER

Einstein once concluded, that when the bees would disappear, mankind would outlive them for four years. The foodchain we depend on would collapse, because pollinisation would almost come to an end. Meaning an end to tomatoes and apples.

Years later, in 2006, this is exactly what happens. Tens of tousands of beehives were suddenly empty. The queen and the wirkforce had gone, leaving no trace and not to return.

Area's in China, who were famous for their apples for a thousand years, suddenly lay bare. No more bees! Desperately, they wrote to the Central Commitee for a solution. The answer was to do it by hand. Which they did, but they are still praying every night for their return.

Bees react to changes in the magnetic field, like birds do. When you manipulate the magnetic field, while bees are building their nest, different types appear. Scientists suppose, that bees use the magnetic field, when they travel or are looking for nectar.

Recently scientists came with alarming news. The magnetic field of our planet is changing. The magnetic poles are on the move, the electro-magnetic field, that is protecting us from cosmic radiation, is loosing strength and recently “holes” were discovered, when electro-magnetism is completely gone.

While the magnetic field is fading away, the “Schumann-resonanz” is rising. Our planet has a “heartbeat” of 7.83 Herz. This corresponds with our “alpha-waves”, brainwaves we produce, when we are relaxed and open (meditation, sleep, prayer). Schumann's colleague Berger proved this with the first “EEG-machine”. During experiments volunteers (young students) stayed in an underground bunker. Underground, the rersonanz disappeares. Schumann noted, that the “guinea pigs” became irritated and felt (dis)tress. These symptoms disappeared, when he started a generator, that produced the alpha-waves/Schumann-resonancy!

We are beings of frequency. When the Schumann-resonancy increases, we will feel growing distress, when we do not adept to the changing circumstances. We lack periodes of openess and relaxation. The increase of cosmic radiation has all kinds of effects (cancer, deformed babies, mutations). You just have to look at the “Australian Open”, where everybody protect itserlfs itself against the burning sun. The changing circumstances we face, are of a planetary (cosmic nature). The Maya have predicted, that “time is speeding up” in the years up to december 2012. This will lead to a “singularity”, a collapse of our potential to keep up with incoming data. We will turn into zombies immediately.

In recent years we are bombarded by electromagnetic input globally, but since the nineties we have added our own “sources”. Using a mobile phone can be compared to voluntary putting your brain in a micro-wave oven (several hours a day). What is does to our brain is open to debate. A debate between people who warn and people who earn big money by it.

CHASING UFO'S

One of the major problems when you study the subject of unidentified flying objects and the possible existence and interaction with alien intelligence, is the fact. that their does not exist any concrete evidence. No parts of a crashed flying saucer, alien tools or actual bodies. What comes closest are photographs and video's, who are all of very poor quality and in many cases an actual fraud. In one of the videos, the producer had gone to great trouble to make me believe, that I was looking at a flying saucer, built by Nazi-scientists during World War 2. The producer was obvious American, because this actual footage was dated: 6/26/1943. Here he made a mistale, it was a clumsy video anyway. 6/26/1943 would NOT have been used by the Germans. They would have use the continental notation of dates: 26/6/1943.

The problem of data-collection seems to be solved. Young and enthousiastic researchers (m/f) using the best audio/video equipment and having their own tv-shows (UFOtv, Spacing Out and Chasing Ufo's for instance). They have all the time, money and equipment to not only to chase these elusive machines, but to film and photograph ufo's. At last the possibility to gather real material and evidence is within grasp.

It's all quite disappointing. Of course, when you operate near air force-bases, it's quite normal that you see all kinds of flying objects and that you may be chased by security personel as well. It's also quite naive to think, that the US Air Force (and other branches of the military complex, does not experiment with all kinds of secret craft. Although officially denied, trillions of dollars are spend on black projects. These programs don't only explore aviation and outer space, but also computertechnology, medicine (prolonging life), psychologocial warfare and propaganda, chemical and biological warfare, the power of sound and low frequencies, laserweapons, explosives (9/11) and even the wheater (HAARP).

These projects all operate within a secret Wargame, all aimed at training of the “puppets” and development of power. In this scenario even a nuclear war can be won. US scientists promiss us an agreeable way of life, after the war, we will win.

This is the real problem and cause for alarm. Nobody asks WHY there are so many military bases, laboratories and underground facilities. Behind these walls of secrecy they are preparing for the final battle and we are the guinea-pigs. And once in a while, they are launching a weatherballoon for UFO-research teams to chase.

CONNECTIONS

It's all a matter of inter-connectedness. I don't mean global or on the level of the EU, the British Empire or the USA. These are concepts and used to manipulate and control you. I don't mean democracy or collectivism. These “slogans” are used to make you act in a predictable way. Government literally means “governe mente”, to “rule” over the way you think, feel and act. I don't mean inter-connectedness with nature. We have definitively decided to cut all the roots with the reality around us. We are polluting the earth, the sky, the rivers and oceans; with devastating effect on the eco-system. Experimental introduction of the nile-perch into Lake Victoria resulted in the destruction of a complete eco-system or introducing, for fun, foxes on Tasmania. No, I don't mean those kind of connections. Why, because they hardly exist anymore. The areas, where you can connect with nature are shrinking and destroyed. Deforestation, growing desserts, urbanization, infrastructure, digging for gold, diamonds, minerals, oil or salt; all these, economically “necessary” activities eat away our natural world and replace it by plastic. The plastic, we so conveniently dispose of, is killing birds, fish and sea-mammals, because they mistake it for food. In the end they literally burst open and expose the waste we produce. Even where I live, the numbers of sea-birds is dwindling and the seals, because they are the end of a local food-chain, will be affected soon. Do we connect with our pats? I don't think so. Pats are bought easily and disposed of easily. Turtles and exotic fish are flushed through the toilet. Some survive, which leads to articles in local newspapers about turtles in a pond and piranha's in the river.

Even Australian wallabies have found a place in our local eco-system?

Do They connect? I don't think so. It's like the story of the lonely guardian of a lighthouse on a small island of the coast of New-Zealand, who introduced a cat to the island. In a year all the birds, species unique to the island, had disappeared, never to return.

Remains the question? Do we connect with our family? The task of educating, protecting and caring for a future education has gone. Forced by economy, implanted ambitions and manipulated consumerism, most grown-ups have to work and on all hours of the day. The harmony, warmth and care, synonymous with growing up, can only be bought. Children who experience a divorce, will have to deal with absent, work and money motivated parents and complex emotional and identication problems, when mother starts dating.

Ockay, except from all this “Entfremdung”, prophesied by Jesus, Karl Marx and Herbert Marcuse, do we connect with our selves. Let me ask you: “Are we happy?”

VIOLENCE

It was Kain, so the Bible sais, who commited the first act of violence. He killed his brother Abel, because of envy; God accepted his offerings and refused Kain's. This evil deed split up the universe into dualities. The holistic universe retreated and man stood in front of his worst enemy, himself, as an alter-ego and double. Kain's curse is still being exercised. Man fighting and killing man. Indian babys are born with their hands wide open, Caucasian new-borns enter the new world, with hands like fists. Once you fulfill an act of deliberate violence, you are doomed. Not only will one fight lead to another, it will also haunt you in lives to come. We cannot understand violence, when we don't accept and incorporate the concept of reincarnation.

The French philosopher Levinas explored the concept of “violence” and its effects on nature and mankind. Violence is much, much more, that“just” war, looting, deliberate destruction, crime, etnic cleansing and assasinations. Violence is also the “commerce and merchandising-department of violence”. All the computergames, video's, movies and toys are materialization of violence, and promoted as a toy for kids starting from 2 years on. Violence is all the noise we produce, the pollution of the atmosphere, mega-festivals, car and motorraces and mass-experiences. Violence against animals and against nature. But most of all, the violence against each-other and expecially your loved-ones. In this 1 to 1-interaction violence can mean gossiping, nagging, ignoring, discriminating or treating without respect. This is the real battleground and it generates all kinds of effects.

So violence is proclaimes as being natural. It is not, humans are the only species, that kills each-other on purpose, but Natural Geographic and Animal Planet are programming our kids, that nature means “eat or being eating” and that predators rule. Violence is presented as a “meaning to an end”. War is many-times the first option and History Channel will underline that our cultural development, is synonymous to survival of the fittest, while nations and empiresfighting heroic and ultimate battles. There is no war, to end all wars. When a war ends, you plan for the next one. This snake in our Paradise, is the military-industrial complex and the governing Elite.

BIBLE PROPHESY

A large part of the Bible is prophesy and the mentioned prophesies get fulfilled. Jesus' birthplace and his virgin birth f.i., were prophesied in the Old Testament, to get fulfilled during the stay on our earth of the Messiah (to the Christians).Jesus himself prophesied the fall and destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem. His words came true in 70 AD., when the Roman legions stormed Jerusalem and burned and looted the “Holy of Holiest” and the Roman rulers renamed the Holy Land into “Palestine”. Many of the prophesies (up to 87%, some believe) have been fulfilled, according to many Bible scolars. What remains are mostly prophesies about the “End of Times”. These are long term/step by step prophesies. We find them in Jeremiah, Jesaja, Daniel and in the book of “Revelation”, the 66^th and last book of our common Bible.

These prophesies are converging. Why, because we live in the period of the Apocalypse, the time before the 2^nd coming of Christ, zo many Christians believe. The words of Jesus, when he describes the period before his return as a “time of wars and rumors of war”. As a concept, this perfectly fits. There is a war going on in Afghanistan, Congo and Syria. These wars have world-wide effects and lead to tensions, between Israel and Iran, Turkey and Syria, Israel and Gaza and to a high alert of the Western countries and the United States. The Arab world is in total disorder and China and Japan have territorial issues, that could easily explode. So have North and South Korea, India and China/Pakistan.

I always been a skeptic of (all kinds of) prophesy. When Jesus knew the old texts (and he did), he (or his entourage) could have organized that the prophesies were fulfilled. But prophesies about the end times, must be visible in our present global situation.

And they are!

The final stage of the battled between good and evil, is named in “Revelation”. The name of the battleground is called “Armageddon”, meaning “Megiddo”, and old fortress north of Jerusalem. Napoleon visited the site and called it “the best battlegrounds he knew. In the Bible millions of soldiers will meet here, under the leadership of the “Antichrist”. Blood will flow like a river, before Jesus returns from Heaven and decides the battle and binds evil, for at least 1000 years.

Building up armies takes a lot of time, money, preparation and planning. Rumors say that “Kaiser Wilhelm II” of Germany, wanted to stop his troops, only to here from his Chief of Staff, that it was impossible. “The trains are already on the move.” World War I was on its way.

This is possibly happening in this area right now. Armies from all over the world, including our own, are gathering and a solution, to the whole conflict in this region, seems far away. Bible prophesy in the making? The same stands for the prophet Jesaja. He wrote down, that Egyptians will fight Egyptians and that the city of Damascus, the capital of Syria will be destroyed. “There will be no city left.” Jesaja's prophesy about Egypt seemed fulfilled and the future of Damascus is constantly threatented by a raging civil war in Syria. Destruction of Damascus is a real possibility, escalation of this local conflict can easily lead to yet another fulfilment of yet another Bible prophesy.



THE MAYA-CALENDAR AND 2012

Humanity and our solar system (including Earth) experience growing consciousness and changes in perception of reality. The Maya civilization in Central-America is the most advanced about the science of “Time”. 22 calendars in total described the cycles and interactions of the Maya with their life on earth, the solar system and the universe. Some of these calendars are still hidden.

According to the Maya calendar the “Fifth world” ended in 1987. The sixth world will start in december 2012. At this moment, we are in the end-fase of an intermediate state. This period is called the“Apocalypse”, which means the unveiling of something hidden. There is nothing negative about, more something of anticipation. The time given to us, was necessary to prepare us for our voyage from a three dimensional reality, through fourth density, into the fifth dimension. DNA is being mutated, our solar system will synchronize with the centre of our galaxy and “time will speed up”. This is the result of the “Schumann Resonance”, the heart-beat of our planet, has risen from 7.8 cycles to 12 cycles per second in 2012. This means that a day last 16, not 24 hours!

In 2012 a cycle of 26.000 years comes to an end. Earth and mankind have passed all 12 signs of the Zodiac and will be in direct allignment with the centre of our Milky Way. During the period of 1987 and 2012, many things will happen on a global, local and personal scale. This all part of a necessary proces, eliminating shadows of the past, like war, greed, exploitation, crimes against nature and animals division, (physical)torture and deception and the disgusting gap between the poor and the rich.

Everyday we make descisions. You can distinguish them as decisions out of Love and decisions made out of Fear. These “thought-attitudes/mindframes”have a completely different effect on your daily life and possible future. A “Fear-attitute” creates a world of fear. It even attracts fear-mongering situations and thoughts. By thinking all the time about things, that can go wrong, they will go wrong (the 2^ndLaw of Murphy). You, yourself are creating this reality and attributing to a society, dominated by fear. Which is exactly, the astmosphere we live in today and is stimulated by our government and media.

Things to remember (and to use; make it into your personal attitude)

Show your attitude of love in your daily life. Trust your feelings and intuition. Help others who are in fear, to regain their powers. Every path is personal and unique; every personal and unique path is part of a map, a calendar and a plan. See you is in 5D.
