3/3/3:
A Time of Great Change, Globally and Personally
by David Wilcock
3/3/3
In the “consciousness
science” that we have modeled on
this website, particular importance is
given to certain dates in our history
when an energetic threshold point is crossed.
As of February 19, 2003, we have entered
into a higher zone of interstellar energy
for the first time since the period of
1990-91, and the revolutionary effects
of this new energy should become increasingly
obvious throughout the rest of this year.
It is also an interesting “coincidence”
that the unique date of 3/3/3 would arrive
only two and a half weeks after we enter
this new zone. For more details on the
scientific background behind what we are
speaking of, the reader is encouraged
to peruse the Supplemental to Divine Cosmos,
as well as our recent psychic reading
of December 2002, conducted by Wynn Free.
The man who rediscovered
this energy system in modern times, Dr.
Sergey Smelyakov, refers to these “bifurcation
points” as times where the following
changes occur while we move into the new
energy:
- Global natural cataclysms
[on Earth] and phenomena in space [supernovas
of nearby stars within our own Galaxy];
- The coming of Great Teachers
of humanity, as well as outstanding
philosophers and scientists;
- The originations of calendars
(as systems for measuring Time/Space);
- Demographic trends (specified
by the population of China as an indicator
of world trends);
- The formation and interaction
of worldwide religious/philosophical
systems and States.
The changes are certainly
also political in nature, as in the time
that elapses between each point, new centers
of civilization undergo a prolonged consolidation
into full-blown empires, followed by a
relatively short period where new cultures
are birthed in these centers. Then, at
the time of the “bifurcation point,”
these new cultures clearly separate themselves
from the “parents,” and in
so doing they experience a sudden and
tremendous flourishing and expansion.
At the same time, there is a rapid and
unexpected decay and contraction or even
disappearance of the “parent”
civilizations.
Dr. Smelyakov has clearly
discovered the hidden pattern behind these
apparently disconnected moments in history,
and we have every reason to believe that
the cycle will continue to behave in the
future as it already has in the past.
Hence, we now have an instrument that
allows us to make clear predictions about
our own imminent future, both on the geo-political
and personal levels. This should be a
source of extreme comfort to those who
feel any sense of despair when looking
at current events, as the outcome can
be clearly discerned by studying previous
repetitions of the same pattern.
You can only imagine the
satisfaction that we felt when the worldwide
peace march of February 15, 2003, just
four days before the actual bifurcation
point itself, turned out to be the largest
gathering of human souls for one single
collective act in our known history. Perhaps
as many as 12 million people broke their
normal routines and marched worldwide
to deliver the message, “It’s
the Oil, Stupid.” Like it or not,
the Establishment-controlled corporate
American media was forced to give coverage
to this unprecedented international outpouring
of voices unified by the desire for world
peace.
What is even more impressive
is that in earlier periods, hundreds or
even thousands of years separated these
bifurcation points, and now this worldwide
peace march occurred within a four-day
window of the exact date that Dr. Smelyakov’s
calculations produced. We knew that something
“big” would have to happen
for this cycle to be proved accurate,
and we were not disappointed. The new
culture of peace was defined on February
15, 2003. It has already separated itself
from the “parents,” and now
we can lend our own energies to its sudden,
tremendous flourishing expansion, while
the “parent” world order decays
into irrelevance. We get to choose how
peacefully this process occurs by the
attitude that we have as we move through
it.
It is important for the
student of our work to remember that the
time elapsed from one bifurcation point
to another is not the same for each point
in the cycle – it becomes increasingly
shorter in length as we approach the critical
time period of the end of the Mayan Calendar,
in December of 2012. Far from a speculative
and useless number, our research has concluded
that this Mayan Calendar end-date corresponds
to a physical location of interstellar
space that our Solar System will have
passed into as of this time. This area
of interstellar space has a measurably
higher energetic charge, and this is not
a case of an on-off switch or a red light
turning to a green light: the energy has
been bleeding into our system for quite
some time. We are already having significant
energetic increases and are feeling their
effects as we drift into the area of highest
concentration. Each “bifurcation
point” is a relatively sudden shift
into a higher energy zone. As Chapter
Eight of Divine Cosmos shows, this instreaming
new energy has already led to significant
transformations in the status and behavior
of our entire Solar System.
So, for one who has already
read this website's sections, the next
obvious question would be, “How
do we explain an event in time and space
that not only affects the energy state
of our Solar System, but of our collective
minds as well?” In this case, the
simplest answer is also the most correct
one… God does indeed exist, and
every nook and cranny of the entire Universe
is filled with an intelligent, living
energy source. The higher the vibrational
speed of this energy, the higher the amount
of intelligence and compassion we will
find. By drifting into a zone of higher
energy, we are automatically becoming
closer to God, ready or not.
So, now that we are moving
into an area of higher vibration, we are
experiencing a collective awakening unlike
anything ever seen before. For those who
accept unconditional love, the transition
is rather easy to make – and for
those who do not, there will be no end
to the shock and dis-ease that is produced,
eventually leading to an inability to
maintain a physical body on the Earth.
This might seem to sound rather harsh,
but it is simply the way things are.
Now is the time to sort
out what is real and what is unreal –
and if we attach ourselves to the world
of the material, then we can certainly
become captivated by a very convincing
illusion that Armageddon is upon us. On
the other hand, if we do our homework,
study the material and educate ourselves
about what is really going on and why
it is happening, there is no need to have
anything but trust in the triumph of unconditional
love and an eager anticipation of the
coming Golden Age for humanity.
Be advised that previous
bifurcation points have already been correlated
with the following massive political changes:
3113
BC: Emergence of the Sumerian,
Chinese and Indian civilizations, arrival
of Krishna
1147-46
BC: Fall of Troy (became complete
by 1194 BC), discovery of Tibet and
China by the Europeans
550
BC: Fall of Babylon (began in
588 and became complete by 539 BC),
coming of Buddha, Zoroaster, Pythagoras,
Plato, Lao Tzu, Confucius and other
great teachers
70
AD: Fall of Jerusalem’s
Temple, great transmigration of Eurasian
peoples to the West, formation of Christianity
and spread of Buddhism in China
820
AD: Miraculous disappearance
of the Mayan Empire and its people (documented
by 830 AD), formation of new Russian
civilization
1285
AD: Mongolian invasions and takeovers
of China, Japan, Java and Punjab, decay
of new Maya, foundation of English Parliament,
Ottoman Empire, Moscow and Lithuanian
princedoms, dissemination of Zen Buddhism
in Japan
1572
AD: Siberia subjugated by Ermak,
Black Plague in Europe, reformation
of Moscow and Lithuanian Princedoms
into kingdoms, uprising of Huguenots
in France, religious riots in Japan,
birth of the Renaissance and Reformation,
establishment of worldwide empires,
dissemination of the scientific realization
that the Sun is at the center of our
Solar System
1718
AD: Tibet is taken over by the
Manchurians, Russia is reformed into
an Empire, Newton creates a physical
and mathematical foundation for the
sciences
1752
AD: Disappearance of feudalism
in Europe, formation of colonial empires
such as the United States, commencement
of industrial revolution, discovery
of Uranus
1861
AD: Abolition of serfdom in Russian
Empire; wars, revolutions and riots
in many areas on ideological and religious
grounds, publication of Blavatsky’s
Secret Doctrine, discovery of Neptune
1926
AD: Worldwide economic crisis,
World War I which killed about 50 million
people, split of the world into two
“superpower” systems with
the eventual threat of nuclear war,
discovery of planet Pluto
1968
AD: Vietnam War and worldwide
peace marches such as the Woodstock
festival. Smelyakov defines it as the
age where the consciousness of the public
begins to collapse, due to our inability
to adapt to the consequences of our
frontal breach into unprecedented spheres
of knowledge and technology, thus making
humankind the hostage of its achievements.
This is seen with the computerization
and informatization of life, the exploration
of Space, the awareness of an ecological
crisis and the apparent futility of
efforts to slow it down, the gasoline
shortage and recession of the 1970s,
et cetera.
1990
AD: Collapse of Soviet Union,
consolidation of New Age movement through
“Harmonic Convergence” of
1991
The above are some of the
most significant political events that
have occurred in previous bifurcation
points. We also see the world’s
most severe earthquakes at these times,
with nothing of such great significance
between them. As we get closer and closer
to 2012, we can expect the pattern to
continually intensify.
THE PERSONAL
Having said all the above,
I want to switch gears a bit and discuss
my own unique personal experiences with
this most recent bifurcation point. I
have realized very clearly and unexpectedly
that the worldwide events also correspond
to personal events of great significance.
The story of my own life around this time,
and of the events that have now culminated
in the publication of this article, constitutes
extremely strong proof on the direct experiential
level that this cycle is indeed working.
Since I was only looking for global events,
I was essentially blindsided by how they
would precipitate into my personal life.
As most of my readers are
aware, all the key points of my scientific
model in the three-volume Convergence
series were derived from a series of communications
with a high-level extraterrestrial intelligence
known as Ra. Many people have claimed
to produce such “channeled”
communications, and to their dismay it
is rare that I will give any of such works
credence. My own standards for quality
are extremely rigorous, including that
of my own material, and in the Law of
One series that Ra produced, every standard
was not only satisfied, but utterly and
boldly surpassed.
The two surviving members
of the team that produced this material,
Jim Mc Carty and Carla Rueckert, took
on an almost mythological significance
to me, so I was naturally inclined not
to attempt any communication with them.
So frequently have I been betrayed by
those who got close to my work that I
concluded I was “better safe than
sorry,” as that was one betrayal
that I was not willing to put myself at
risk of, since the pain that I would feel
was far too great to risk. After all,
I had built an entire life around the
Law of One teachings – and if they
did not directly approve of me, then I
would feel that I had failed in my life’s
purpose. It is similar to a person who
never reaches out to someone who shows
them obvious signs of affection for fear
of being rejected.
Hence, I discovered the
Law of One series in January 1996, and
literally four and a half years would
go by before I would actually speak to
Carla Rueckert on the phone for the first
time… a time I think of as having
worked towards my Doctoral degree in understanding
the One Infinite Creator, studying the
Law of One material and integrating it
with a wealth of scientific research.
This led to the production and publication
of my first complete dissertation on the
Internet as of December 2000, entitled
“The
Shift of the Ages.”
It was also in late summer
of 2000 that I reconnected with Dr. Scott
Mandelker, who wrote the book “From
Elsewhere” which was of pivotal
importance in my spiritual awakening.
It led me to realize that I was indeed
an angelic / higher dimensional soul who
had volunteered to come to Earth and “play
the human game” for the purposes
of raising consciousness. It also directly
brought me into an active study of the
Law of One material from the L/L Research
team only two months after I read it.
Dr. Mandelker was the first person to
strongly believe in my ability to make
a successful career for myself in the
field of metaphysics when I met him at
a UFO conference in Connecticut, exactly
one year after I first read his book.
After four years of elapsed
time, I had authored a very comprehensive
website with enough traffic to clearly
establish a presence in the mid-range
category of Internet popularity in the
metaphysical field. My hit counter only
counts unique visits to the main page,
and at the time of this article it is
right at the 300,000 mark. At the time,
Dr. Mandelker was approaching me about
promoting his newest book, Universal Vision.
I was more than happy to assist him in
this effort.
In the phone call where
we discussed this and other issues, I
raised the possibility of doing a Law
of One seminar. I essentially said, “Wouldn’t
it be great if we created a seminar where
the top scholars of the Law of One material
could get together on the same stage and
present a unified body of information
talking about the Ascension process that
humanity is now going through as a whole?
You could lecture on the Law of One material
as it relates to East-West psychology,
I could discuss it from the scientific
perspective, Carla and Jim could discuss
it from their own experience of having
brought it through and working with it
over the last 20 years, and we could get
John Major Jenkins to fill in all the
background about the foundation and importance
of the Mayan Calendar.”
Mandelker responded, “Well,
that would take a lot of money, and that’s
something that we don’t have.”
I answered, “Yes…
and if the higher beings want us to do
it, then we’ll find the money.”
Less than three months after
this conversation, my grandfather, Donald
Frederick Wilcock, Ph.D., passed away,
and I soon discovered that I would inherit
a modest amount of money that was well
under what the average middle-class American
citizen would earn in one year, but nevertheless
far exceeded anything I had ever had access
to before. Upon the guidance of my readings,
most of the money was parked in pre-1900
Napoleon III gold coins, each having .1876
ounces of gold in them.
I was guided to buy the
coins when gold was at a supreme low of
about 261 dollars an ounce, and subsequently
placed a buy signal on my website when
gold went even lower, down to an incredible
251 dollars. Recently, of course, gold
spiked at 390 dollars an ounce, and we
have every reason to believe that the
current price of about 350 is still an
incredible deal compared to where it will
soon go.
At this same time, I found
a Roland TD-7 digital drumset for a great
price on Ebay so that I could again practice
drumming without making any disturbing
noise, after a four-year absence. I also
scored a Korg 01/W keyboard for 400 dollars,
which I already had extensive experience
with since my mother had owned one since
the late 1980s, at which time it was considered
industry standard state-of-the-art equipment.
Other than those two items,
paying my mother 1000 dollars that I owed
her from previous debts, and using enough
cash to support my operating expenses
for a couple of months, I put all the
remaining funds into gold. I have since
sold off slightly over two-fifths of my
original purchase in certain tiny increments
in order to keep food in the refrigerator
and the phone and lights operable when
I entered into times of extreme financial
peril – and thankfully, one of those
two fifths is still “in the family,”
stored by my associate Dr. Hideo Izumoto
in a secure location.
In late November of 2000,
the four-year anniversary of when I first
met Dr. Mandelker and the five-year anniversary
of when I first read his book, we had
another telephone conversation where he
offhandedly revealed that someone had
approached him with a very intriguing
question:
“If I could get you
some decent funding, what would you want
to do with that money that would help
to raise the spiritual consciousness of
humanity?”
As Mandelker kept talking,
he told me that he had decided that the
best thing would be to do a seminar tour
that laid out the case for “Harvest”
or “Ascension” on earth, as
defined in the Law of One series. He already
had decided that he wanted the main body
of the work to be a three-part seminar:
Science, Prophecy and the UFO Phenomenon,
with a brief summary at the end that framed
all of this data in the spiritual perspective
of the Law of One series.
As he explained all of this
to me, he also said that he was having
difficulty finding a person to be the
Research Director for the science section.
I immediately responded by saying that
he simply would not find a person more
suitable for the job than I was. Surprisingly,
he was really not familiar with my website
material and therefore thought that I
was “only a channeler,” not
realizing that I had done quite extensive
and groundbreaking scientific work as
well. Once I started explaining to him
what I had found, the deal was quickly
closed and I was hired as Research Director.
It was remarkable how quickly
my vision of a “Law of One seminar”
had come to pass… the only problem
was that all we were doing was a Friday
night presentation and a Q&A section
on Saturday, with no other guest speakers
connected to the Law of One. Our first
show of this variety was in Chicago, the
second in Boulder and the third in Santa
Fe, New Mexico.
Each time there was noticeable
tension between Mandelker and myself onstage,
documented in video recordings from each
event, which I would frequently hear about
in private conversations thereafter. Anyone
inside the “gossip circles”
of my discussion group is already well
aware of these issues, as by the fifth
event in Huntsville, more than half of
the entire audience was aware of the personality
differences between Mandelker and myself,
and openly assertive public confrontation
came towards him from the audience about
his desire to keep me from talking for
too long.
Many of my most trusted
supporters were telling me that I should
get out and do something entirely on my
own. After all, I was essentially being
asked to give a summary of my life’s
work in 35 minutes on Friday and another
10 minutes on Saturday, which is obviously
not even remotely possible, given the
complexity of a 900-page trilogy of scientific
material.
The rest of my contributions
were limited to whatever questions the
audience would ask me. I was also expected
to answer these questions as briefly as
possible and would invariably be chastised,
often right in front of the audience,
about taking too much time to answer them.
Yet, as soon as I answered one, someone
else would ask me another, and on we went.
Hence, most of the tension
centered around Mandelker feeling that
I was too verbose in my presentations
and not adhering to the strict time guidelines
that he had set up in his business plan.
Indeed, the most “serious”
incident was in Santa Fe, where I took
52 minutes to deliver a presentation that
I thought I could hold to Mandelker’s
desired 35, and the tension was quite
palpable. The problem was that the majority
of each audience, perhaps with the exception
of Santa Fe, had come to the seminar because
of a familiarity with my website and a
desire to see me speak in public, and
the bulk of audience questions after each
presentation would invariably relate to
my material.
By the time we finished
Santa Fe, I had become quite distraught
over the fact that we were spending a
considerable amount of grant money to
put on a show that was practically free
for people to attend, as our door price
was only five dollars, and which only
went through Friday night and Saturday
morning. Nevertheless, we were paying
complete expenses for three people to
fly out and give a full multimedia presentation
in a high-end hotel with good advertising
to support the event. I asked Mandelker
to remember the original conversation
that we had about a Law of One seminar,
and bringing everyone together to discuss
these key issues. Since most people could
spend an entire weekend with us, why not
make it a three-day event?
My pleas were heard and
addressed, as our next seminar was held
in Louisville, Kentucky, the hometown
of Carla Rueckert and Jim Mc Carty, the
surviving Baby Boomer members of the L/L
Research team. We had established a brief
professional relationship with John Major
Jenkins in Boulder, and Mandelker and
I eventually agreed to give both Jenkins
and myself two-hour lecture presentations
on that Saturday, as well as to reserve
Saturday evening for Carla and Jim. Sunday
would be an entire day devoted to question-and-answer,
with all six speakers assembled onstage
together for a unified panel discussion.
And thus, it was in April
of 2002 that the Louisville event occurred,
which truly represented our finest achievement
as a team. This is the first time that
I’ve actually even tried to write
about it, because it seemed that any words
I would use could only cheapen the divine
nature of the experience that we all shared.
Of course, there was the requisite tension
between Mandelker and myself, but by this
time I had become self-confident enough
that I was able to turn it into more of
an Abbott and Costello comedy routine
than an awkward nightmare. After all,
I was still on the recovery curve after
nearly losing my companion Sabrina to
a devastating pedestrian encounter with
a two-ton missile traveling at 35 miles
an hour on Atlantic Avenue in Virginia
Beach, Virginia. If I could get through
that, then I could get through anything.
Our local advertisements
had literally done nothing – when
I asked how many people had made a pilgrimage
to Louisville for this event because of
reading my website, every hand in the
entire 52-person audience went up. Hence,
everyone had been interested enough in
this work to make that personal sacrifice
of the hero’s journey, to endure
the trials and tribulations of earning
the funding and clearing the time to make
the quest for the sacred fire of antiquity
that we were there to offer, the arcana
of formerly secret knowledge that can
now be shared publicly without fear of
punishment or assassination – at
least most likely not.
My two-hour presentation
that Saturday gave a tremendous amount
of new information that would show up
in Divine Cosmos two months later, and
some of which has still not been published.
Hence, everyone got much more than they
bargained for… it was not simply
a review but rather a re-integration of
what they already knew into an even higher
and more complete level of understanding.
Everyone felt the thrill of this new information
and it infused the entire group with great
excitement.
No one seemed to be getting
any sleep, and no one cared. Once we stopped
talking, the group would turn inward and
find great connection with each other.
Life-long romantic partnerships were established
at this event, at least two that we directly
know of, and one of them happened to Rosi
Buchanan, who was also our administrative
director for that event. She has since
married her romantic interest and is expecting
a child with him in the near future. For
myself, I had a great spiritual connection
with Carla and Jim, although brief, and
I was quite eager to work with them again.
During the Louisville event,
Emerson King from the US Psychotronics
Association was in the audience, and he
contacted Dr. Peter Moscow, the president
of the organization and a Louisville resident,
telling him that he really needed to come
and see the rest of the event. I then
met Dr. Moscow and was invited to speak
at their upcoming conference that July.
This was definitely the next “big
break” that I was waiting for, having
already been on the Art Bell Show twice
the previous year. Slightly over a month
before the conference, I finished and
published Part One of Divine Cosmos, and
therefore was able to have limited-edition
printed copies ready for vending at the
event itself.
I now had the opportunity
to present my material on my own terms
to a community of peers in the scientific
community, who were already aware of the
basic and intermediate stages of my research,
allowing me to move directly into the
expert level. And indeed, Dr. Moscow told
me that my July 2002 presentation was
at a “university graduate level”
and “extremely well done.”
At this conference I also got to meet
some truly amazing people who had made
many great contributions to the field,
including Dr. Glen Rein, who discovered
that the energy of unconditional love
has a direct effect on the DNA molecule,
causing it to expand and thereby promote
greater health and well-being in an organism.
The next major event was
in my invitation to travel to Japan in
October 2002 to support the limited-edition
release of my first book The Shift of
the Ages, titled “Tenkan no Jidai”
or “Paradigm Shift” in Japanese.
The scheduling requirements forced me
to only have two full days to recuperate
between returning from Japan and doing
our next and final seminar as the Time
of Global Shift team in Huntsville, Alabama.
I was under great financial and temporal
pressure in getting ready for this event,
as I needed to manifest a passport, an
updated version of my Power Point presentation
for Huntsville and the finances to pay
off all my bills for November after I
had just gotten done paying off October.
Things got quite intense towards the end,
but by selling some gold and working very
hard, I was able to make it happen.
Of course, Japan was a true
watershed experience in my life –
the immersion into an entirely new culture
where a Caucasian person is now the outsider,
as not more than one in 5,000 people I
would see were white, and in fact the
only people of African descent I ever
saw during my entire stay in Japan were
a husband and wife in the airport. I had
studied and loved the culture all my life
but especially after having Yumi as a
girlfriend in college, and I knew enough
of the language to fight my way through
some very basic conversations.
Dr. Izumoto traveled with
me as my interpreter, and together we
delivered approximately 17 psychic readings,
five lectures and four musical performances
during the time we were there. We hardly
ever stayed in any one place for more
than two days, and unfortunately about
halfway through I went through a quasi-kidnapping
type of event, where I ended up traveling
in some form or another, either car, boat,
ferry, subway or bullet train, for a total
of 36 hours in two days. What was even
worse was that I was denied sleep during
this process, being awakened at 6:15 am
on the first day and 4:15 am on the second
day.
During this time we went
from Nagoya to Mt. Fuji to Onakoro Island
and back to Nagoya once again, touring
a few sacred places very briefly as we
went – about 10 minutes at a shrine
near Fuji, about 10 minutes on the top
of Fuji after a brutal one-hour traffic
jam on the way up, about 10 minutes at
a small shrine near the home of the woman
who accompanied us on the second day,
and about 40 minutes at a shrine on Onakoro
Island and another 40 minutes in front
of a breathtaking view of the sea and
mountains on the island.
For comparison, this is
just about equivalent to someone driving
halfway across the United States and back
in two days, stopping long enough at the
Grand Canyon to look around, sip some
air and relieve themselves before turning
around and going back home.
I had already been overstressed
before those two days, but afterwards
I became truly, deeply sick. I then had
the continuing experience of literally
living the celebrity lifestyle, giving
lectures, performing highly accurate psychic
readings, signing autographs and taking
pictures with many people, being given
the highly sought-after “Emperor’s
welcome” at Esai, the largest spiritual
center / shrine in all of Japan, as well
as being filmed for a Japanese documentary,
while having a consistent, unrelenting
and nearly uncontrollable desire to cough
the entire time, as well as knowing that
I was very, very sick, with such extraordinary
fatigue that I literally wanted nothing
more than to crawl into a bed somewhere,
anywhere, and not come out of the room
for at least five days except to eat and
excrete.
This was capped off by another
23 hours of solid travel time to get back
to the States, wide-awake the entire time.
First, we had to get up very early to
get a ride from the hotel in Nagoya to
the subway for a 30-minute ride to the
station. There, we picked up the Shinkansen
bullet train, which then brought us on
a two-hour ride into Tokyo. In Tokyo,
we had to wait an excruciatingly long
time for the red subway to take us to
the airport. Once we got to the airport,
we had well over three hours to kill before
our flight got started, which began with
an 11-hour (!) direct flight from Tokyo
to Atlanta, the big hub of Delta Airlines.
Then we had a two-and-a-half-hour layover
followed by another one-hour flight to
Virginia Beach, where we navigated through
customs and thankfully our ride was already
waiting for us when we queued up for the
agonizing wait for Hideo’s giant
maroon suitcase to move through the baggage
claim.
My absurdly naïve schedule
then had me needing to duplicate CDs and
print more books for Huntsville in two
days before leaving, while also dealing
with the contortions of a body that thinks
nighttime is daytime and vice versa, having
finally gotten adjusted to living on the
opposite side of the globe. Suffice it
to say that I did the books and basically
wrote off working on the CDs due to sheer
exhaustion. The quick jaunt to Huntsville
truly seemed like no big deal in comparison
to what I had been through in the previous
month.
Our turnout for Huntsville
was less than half as big as any previous
event that we had conducted, since it
seemed that most of the people who had
really wanted to go to the “Big
Law of One Event” had done it in
Louisville. On the first night I realized
to my horror that I had sent Dr. Mandelker
the wrong presentation, so that all the
new things I wanted to say did not match
up with the sequence of slides. This forced
me to do some very last-minute deletions
of slides from the presentation and the
need to go through the show without strictly
adhering to the script. In many ways I
felt that it was one of my best presentations,
if not THE best, for that very reason,
but unfortunately the video camera did
not capture the audio that night.
By Saturday night I had
found great camaraderie with Mark Comings,
Mandelker’s original choice for
my position as Research Director, a man
who arguably has more in common with me
than any other male I have ever met in
my life. Since I was quite naturally attuned
to the Japanese schedule, we ended up
staying up that night and talking until
6:30 am, neither of us noticing the passage
of time.
Since Comings is monitored
even more heavily than I am, it was wonderful
to have a private space where we could
talk about whatever we wanted without
surveillance, and we made maximal use
of the time. I ended up giving him 11
copies of Divine Cosmos to distribute
amongst his colleagues, with the hope
of spreading the word to a larger audience
in the California area.
Naturally, I slept right
through Jeremy pounding on the door Sunday
afternoon to tell me that it was almost
time for me to be onstage for the panel
discussion. However, I knew exactly when
it got started, and had left my room only
about 10 minutes after it began, meaning
that I got there about 15 minutes late.
I went to my chair without comment and
soon after I arrived, most of the questions
again started coming my way. Mark and
I again had long conversations that night,
but I clipped it off by about 1:30 am
this time.
I still managed to get up
before anyone else and have morning breakfast
with Carla and Jim before again departing
on an airplane to go home. That conversation
was the most time that we had ever shared
together, as up until then my interactions
with them had been predominantly non-verbal
in Louisville, along with about four or
five telephone conversations. This conversation
really opened up a wonderful new avenue,
as we got along quite nicely and they
invited me to speak at their annual “Homecoming”
event which was in the first week of February
2003.
After this event, I returned
home and essentially spent my entire profit
margin from Japan on the Yamaha Motif
keyboard, which is just about the most
wonderful music workstation that affordable
money can buy at the present time, with
the ability to duplicate almost any sound
that you hear in music on the radio (with
the exception of the classical music which
is not as well-represented,) and a grand
completion to the studio that I had already
been building up with an eight-channel
Behringer mixer, the Yamaha SW1000XG sound
card, the Korg MS2000 analog modeling
synthesizer and the Creative 6GB Nomad
Jukebox for making direct-to-digital recordings
off the mixing board, in addition to the
Roland TD-7 and Korg 01/W that I had purchased
after my grandfather passed away.
During this time, I spent
a few weeks with Sabrina before she embarked
on a trip out to Oklahoma to reconnect
with family and old friends and acquaintances.
This was a semi-permanent move due to
a personal family crisis, and it became
increasingly clear to me that we had arrived
at a natural point of separation since
she was essentially transferring her whole
life back to her hometown. Thankfully,
I had managed to fulfill one of her most
consistent desires, which was to have
a completed demo of a song that she had
written so that she could shop it out
to various record labels. In fact, this
was the major catalyst that got me to
complete my studio in the first place.
I left in the second week
of December to go to my mother’s
new house in upstate New York, and on
the way I had a flat tire and had to stay
in the Best Western of Seaford, Delaware,
room 211, which had a great view of a
lake behind the hotel and was surprisingly
inexpensive. Nevertheless, this event,
coupled with my father shaming me into
buying everyone Christmas presents even
though I had spent the profits on the
keyboard, caused my bank account to again
bottom out. I wouldn’t realize until
about January 15th that I had bounced
the check on my landlord for the first
time in the nearly three years I had lived
there, but that’s a bit further
along in our story.
While recovering from a
month-long post-Japan illness at my mother’s
house, and really enjoying the thick blankets
of snow that I had not really lived through
since moving to Virginia Beach in 1997,
I received a portentous email from Dr.
Mandelker telling me that he wanted to
discuss my airline tickets for the next
event in Portland, which will still be
held in Portland, Oregon this April, although
I will not be attending it or presenting
there. Not thinking much of it, but also
knowing that the pattern was for harsh
criticisms to come my way after an event,
I called him on the phone.
During this call, I found
out that apparently one woman in the audience
at Huntsville had really gained a strong
dislike of me in many ways. Without getting
into details, Mandelker in turn relayed
all of her mean-spirited accusations to
me as if this was representative of the
audience’s experience as a whole,
adding this to the standard litany of
complaints about talking too long and
taking up too much time, which literally
collapsed under discussion, since I had
been very careful not to tweak the guidelines.
As in the previous four or five telephone
conversations, I was ready to call off
the whole thing right then and there,
but somehow I got through it and preserved
the partnership.
I was quite surprised to
check my email on the laptop after this
phone call and find out that at the exact
time that Mandelker and I had been going
through a very heated discussion, Carla
had sent both of us an email saying that
we both needed to work out our personality
problems with each other and move through
the anger and the tears, or else there
would be a separation. At the time I took
this as a great sign that we would work
it out, not looking at the other side
of the equation at all. I wrote Carla
a letter back expressing that I was very
enthusiastic about all of this, and had
worked diligently to listen to every criticism
and truly weigh it out with honesty and
candid humility.
Carla’s letter did
not explicitly favor either one of us,
and implied that we both had to make significant
concessions in order for this to work.
After reading the letter I called her
immediately and we had a long discussion
about what I could do to help out. From
what I was told thereafter, Mandelker
only sent a very brief email response
to her letter and only seemed to acknowledge
that it validated all of his points that
I was the “weak link” in the
team and that “no one else had this
problem” but myself.
I returned to Virginia Beach
early in January, and when I went into
Sabrina’s room I really felt that
her energy presence had moved out of the
house for good. It was a deep inner knowing
that I couldn’t really explain,
as she still had a fair amount of possessions
there, but none of them were essential.
A short number of days later my old friend
Angelica called me, and the Mandelker
issue came up relatively quickly.
In a matter of ten minutes
Angelica was able to get me to see clearly
that I really owed it to my audience to
give them a seminar where I could speak
for as long as they wanted me to. It wasn’t
right to have everyone coming up to me
and back-talking about the politics of
the event every time I would speak. I
also realized that it boiled down to an
issue of self-respect; there was no real
reason to ever assume that these issues
would go away, and the longer I participated
in this the worse it was going to get,
likely leading to the embarrassment and
personal scarring of being fired.
So, before I even went to
bed that same night, I wrote my formal
letter of resignation and sent it out
to every member of the team, including
our regional administrators and moderators
for the discussion group. I did not go
into any explanations at the time, and
a few people in the discussion group later
expressed a desire to see it work out
and for us to resolve our differences.
On the personal level I would never have
imagined that I would actually quit, and
for the first two or three days I felt
pretty badly about it, but I soon realized
that it really was an issue of self-acceptance
and forgiveness, and that is what ultimately
pulled me through.
Within two days of really
regaining some level of personal equilibrium,
I received the infamous pink slip in the
mail assigning me a fine of 30 dollars
for a returned check. This time it was
the rent – something that had never
happened before. I immediately activated
a good crop of clients for readings and
began immediately processing the requests,
and I got so captivated in trying to generate
funding that I did not call the landlord.
He then called me two days
later and was extremely unpleasant on
the phone, to say the least. In no uncertain
terms, he told me that I either needed
to get the money to him by Monday (it
later became Tuesday since Monday was
a bank holiday) or else I would have to
find another place to live. I interpreted
this as meaning that I might suddenly
be forcefully ejected from my own space
in a matter of two weeks if the donations
did not arrive in the mail on time, or
if I again hacked into the dwindling supply
of gold coins.
Once again I was receiving
the abusive father treatment, and even
when I hand-delivered him the money in
seven crisp hundred-dollar bills, including
the rather exorbitant 63-dollar late fee
that I rounded up to 75, he still treated
me with disdain and did not allow for
any release of tension, except for a very
quick smile as I was heading out the door.
I certainly wasn’t expecting a hero’s
welcome, but I also was searching for
some kind of clue that I could trust him
in the future “if” there were
economic upheavals that made it difficult
to pay the rent on time. His attitude
revealed that I was in jeopardy. Any shock
to my income and I could be homeless in
a matter of a week and a half –
and if Sabrina were to eventually live
with me again, it would affect her as
well as myself, which was even more unpleasant
of a thought.
So, I was suddenly confronted
with the heretofore-unimaginable idea
of moving out of my sweet spot in Virginia
Beach, which was a great space for the
price, listed as a resort property in
the paper although it really wasn’t,
but only four minutes’ walking distance
from the oceanfront. Every move I had
made in the past was into a better situation,
and I had a hard time imagining how I
could outdo what I already had. Perhaps
by now you’ve figured out where
all this is going…
Dr. Izumoto and I drove
the 10 hours from Virginia Beach to Louisville
on Groundhog Day, which was incidentally
also my father’s birthday. After
what we had been through in Japan, and
the extreme stress of navigating the drive
to New York, the tranquility of Route
64 all the way into Louisville seemed
almost too easy. That night in Carla and
Jim’s living room, I delivered a
very humorous retelling of my experiences
in Japan, turning the whole thing into
quite the uproarious comedy routine, even
more than what I had done when speaking
at the Fellowship of the Inner Light earlier
in January. I felt a tremendous, spiraling
energy in the living room that was stronger
than anything I had experienced before,
and I absolutely loved the house, the
grounds and the whole area.
From that first night onward,
I also became acquainted with Vara Lyngklip,
and each night we would talk from 10pm
until somewhere between 2 and 5:30 am.
The amount of synchronicity that began
emerging between her entire personality
and life experiences with my own was literally
astonishing. She had already become a
key member of the L/L Research team on
her own volition by providing Carla with
invaluable assistance in checking all
the quotes for the Wanderer’s Handbook.
Furthermore, she had top-notch professional
experience as an executive secretary for
the vice-president of one of the world’s
pre-eminent computer software companies.
In the history of Edgar
Cayce’s life, almost every scholar
invariably points to the arrival of his
“twin flame” Gladys Davis
as being the moment when everything completely
turned around. It is only from this point
forward that there is any clear, unbroken
written record of his readings, and the
energy of her presence seemed to be invaluable
in bringing forth a higher level of quality
from Edgar’s unconscious mind. She
continued to work with the readings until
her death in the 1980s, and without her
support it is unlikely that most people
in Eastern and Western civilization today
would know the name Edgar Cayce –
or as the Japanese say, “Egah Cayshee.”
In working as executive
secretary for this extremely busy man,
Vara would navigate him through 12 meetings
a day and between 300 to 700 emails a
day. In short, she was his backbone, and
without her multi-tasking support capabilities
he would have completely fallen apart.
No other employee had been able to keep
him together like this before. A series
of weird politics had led to him losing
his job as of November 2002, and she was
let go in December since the company really
didn’t have much for her to do once
he left.
When she spoke of what she
did for this VP, I finally became aware
enough of my deepest fear in life to look
at it head-on. Ever since making a complete
life commitment to this work as of June
1998, I had basically been flying by the
seat of my pants, constantly navigating
financial troubles and alternating between
periods of extreme productivity peaks
followed by months-long troughs of writer’s
block and creative meltdown. I was smart
enough not to try to do readings during
these times as I only wanted them to originate
from the highest and best sources possible.
Now, with my story being
given huge press in the Japanese magazine
Anemone, with a circulation of 40,000
issues, and the book “The Reincarnation
of Edgar Cayce?” being released
with North Atlantic Press as of August
2003, with widespread tabloid publicity
almost destined to follow, the juggernaut
was released – like it or not, my
career was going to expand, and yet I
had already been stretched past the breaking
point as it was, and the snapping had
affected my landlord, my family and my
loved ones, even leading to the karmic
backlash of a glass breaking in my hand
and severing a nerve to my right pinky
in December 2001. Things had not gotten
better since that time – they had
only intensified. I could easily see my
50-100 emails a day expanding to 300 to
700 or more with the advent of these changes.
So, even if Vara had nothing
to do with it, just hearing about the
fact that someone could actually do all
that for another person and keep him running
gave me a sense of newfound hope that
I had been severely lacking. I realized
for myself that the old adage “the
more the merrier” held true for
this work, and that by accepting the emergent
offer from Jim and Carla to move in with
them and work as a team, I could significantly
ease the burdens that I had faced from
doing almost everything by myself, with
a few notable exceptions including Jeremy
and Tasha, Ed and Andi, Albert and Harriet,
Gary and Tiffani, Chris, Enoch Theos and
Sean Colquhon.
After Vara had already returned
to Palo Alto, California, she documented
a series of dreams, visions and brief
sentences of psychic readings that made
it clear that she was being guided to
move to Louisville and join the team.
This only added to the overall weight
of synchronicities that had been coming
in fast and furious, which may be made
public in the future. She was already
in the advanced stages of moving, and
all she had to do was to change the destination.
As I write these words she is resting
in a hotel somewhere in the Southwest
after the first day of a four-day journey
to arrive here to Louisville.
I myself arrived here less
than a week ago, and handled all the obvious
stresses of moving myself into a single
room with definite finesse. Today is really
the first day that I have been fully settled,
and Jim and I have begun working on preparing
and painting Vara’s room to her
specifications. Most of the major furniture
possessions in my house were donated to
goodwill to help fund addiction recovery
programs, which I feel quite good about.
My landlord was certainly surprised and
unhappy that I made the decision to move,
but you do have to crack some eggs to
make an omelet, as they say.
I have had a number of dreams
that indicate that a great future is ahead.
I am aware that I had promised the public
that some form of addition to Divine Cosmos
would be ready by this all-important date
of 3/3/3, but instead I had a personal
shift that is very similar to the global
level of the “bifurcation point”
that we have entered into as of February
19th, 2003. With the infrastructure that
is really needed now coming into view,
we have the collective opportunity to
take this mission to the next step, with
Carla and I acting as the primary speakers.
To that end, we have already done two
psychic readings together, which are posted
on the L/L Research website at www.llresearch.org.
Let’s look back to
what I wrote earlier about this crucial
time:
The changes are certainly
also political in nature, as in the time
that elapses between each point, new centers
of civilization undergo a prolonged consolidation
into full-blown empires, followed by a
relatively short period where new cultures
are birthed in these centers. Then, at
the time of the “bifurcation point,”
these new cultures clearly separate themselves
from the “parents,” and in
so doing they experience a sudden and
tremendous flourishing and expansion.
At the same time, there is a rapid and
unexpected decay and contraction or even
disappearance of the “parent”
civilizations.
Now I get it… on every
level. It would be nice to be credited
with being one of the great scientists
or philosophers that such bifurcation
points produce, but either way I feel
confident that our humble efforts are
sufficient. For those who had scheduled
reading slots that were disrupted by this,
Vara will be contacting you sometime within
the next week for rescheduling, and I
do apologize for the inconvenience. No
one has been more surprised by all of
this than myself, and I am more than happy
to have the profits from my work go directly
towards funding this team effort of L/L
Research. There was a lot to give up,
but what I have already gained is beyond
measure. Rest assured that the enormous
creative and financial freedom that this
move will produce is going to lead to
the long-awaited culmination and fulfillment
of my written services in the coming months,
including publication of the completed
three-volume Convergence series.
Peace be with you.
