I
never heard from you again, I hope everything is fine..?
Yes. Thank
you for asking. We are preparing for the big "Thanksgiving"
holiday... second only to Christmas in its excessive consumption of
calories and fat! I have a 22 pound turkey in my refrigerator and stacks
of ingredients for pies and cakes... ready for the baking tomorrow.
I swore I wasn't going to do this anymore, but the children would be
devastated if I didn't. Ark is happy to eat yogurt and be done with
it... and I don't need anything at all except to stop eating for about
a year...
By
now you might have finished reading my book, I think...
Yes. And
lots of marginal notes...
As
you are so well experienced in the subject of symbolism and know so
much more then I do, I would appreciate it very much if you could let
me have your opinion...
I am impressed
with what you have done, having started with more or less a blank screen.
You have had the unique advantage of "being there," which
I have not... but, yes, there is a LOT I would like to discuss and I
have been debating how open you would be to this "putting two heads
together" on the subject. I know that I am like a mother about
anything I write and very sensitive to what might be construed as "criticism,"
so I have not wanted to say anything that would be offensive. But, at
the same time, you are THERE and can answer some questions I have and
I think that there are some things that need further work.
How
is the weather in your country..? Here in Belgium temperature is minus
13° centigrade... However that was not too bad, because the sun was
shining and the cold itself was not unpleasant.. But the weather is
changing tomorrow, rain is expected and the streets will turn into
skating-rinks... We stay indoors, that is much safer I think and in
any case good for a whole day of writing...
My husband
has been invited to Brussels by some company that is probably connected
to NATO... they want to pay expenses and all that... we don't yet know
how we will respond. As he says, it makes the drama of our life a little
more interesting even if we don't follow the "script."
If you
are ready to have a little dialogue about this "Rennes etc"
business, well, tell me. What I want to do is something like what my
husband does... you get a theory, you build the structure, you see how
it behaves as a "working hypothesis," and if there are problems,
you tear it apart and start over. That sort of thing is what he does.
He will have an idea, spend weeks on page after page of mathematical
calculations and then hit a brick wall and have to start all over again.
We sat
up one night and analyzed, in a sort of "hard science" way
the evidence of the "phenomenon" of Rennes... it was an interesting
exercise with interesting "conclusions." I was thinking at
the time that it was too bad you weren't with us as there were a lot
of questions we had no answers to because we did not have the opportunity
for personal investigation or observation.
I will
say that some of the things you have found are fascinating and I am
convinced that there is some purpose and reason, and maybe even your
ultimate conclusions are correct - or pretty close... but there are
some big gaps in the symbolic appreciation and historical background
of same. This is something of a speciality of mine. I have spent so
much time buried in these "old times" that I can "shift"
into them and think like them.
And, there
is also what I call my "Grail File," which consists of all
the remarks and clues given via channeling on this specific subject.
It was pretty astonishing that, just a few days before your CD arrived,
I had been pressing the subject and was given some information that
was right there on your pages... I nearly dropped my teeth! though
I don't think you were aware of the significance of certain things you
found... you were focused in another direction!
So, the
result is that I am convinced, like you, that there is some great mystery
to be solved... but I am not as sure as you are that your answers are
the "right ones." There are many things to be gone over in
a sort of "cold" and analytical way - even including this
business of "synchronicity" that we both have experienced
in this matter.
This "amazing"
confluence of "clues and artifacts" tends to convince us that
our ideas are correct... but I have found that, often, the matter is
much more complicated - like a chess game. Some of these "synchronous"
events are like a move on the chess board by these "unknowns"
and they are waiting to see if we will see through the ruse... We can
either make the mistake of "falling into the trap" of taking
the piece "offered" while we are being set up for a swift
and stunning mate.
NEVER
underestimate the cleverness and cunning of the opponent.
Your ideas
are framed in much the same terms as the guys who wrote the Holy Grail
series and the guy who wrote the Tomb of God... in the sense that all
sorts of "synchronous" and "amazing" correspondences
were found in response to the various ideas had by all. This should
be taken as a warning that it can occur to just about anybody. All of
you were convinced that you were "on the right track" because
of these things... don't forget that. They, as sincerely as yourself,
were convinced of the "rightness" of their "path"
and conclusions because of the SAME TYPES OF REMARKABLE SYNCHRONICITIES!!!!
And, for
an "outsider" who has not been there... one is left with a
welter of "confusing" and contradictory ideas.
So, this
is why I think that it is at this point that all must be torn apart
and looked at with a somewhat different and more "playful"
idea. Remember - NEVER FORGET - that the opponent wants us to come to
false conclusions... And never forget that he/they are so much more
clever and practiced at this deception that we can even imagine. This
is NOT a secret of a couple hundred years duration. It is THOUSANDS
of years old...
Anyway,
enough of this rambling. If you like, if you are prepared to play with
it, to tear it apart with me for the sake of possibly solving it...
admitting in the beginning that your solution may turn out to be correct
or not... but maybe for different reasons... then maybe there is some
hope of solving it. With material results.
Do you
want to begin?
