During a recent thunderstorm, some flying debris hit the side of our house, damaging the vent that allows heat to escape from the dryer hose.  The damage was minor, basically just bending part of the vent so that it did not close like it normally should.  It would be an easy repair, buying a new vent and replacing it, the only reason this home repair scored higher than a rating of “easy”,  is that our dryer is on the 2nd story of the house, thus requiring a very tall ladder to access that part of the house outside to replace the vent.

We had plans to repair the vent during the weekend, as we were traveling and away off and on for a couple of weeks. Upon returning home, we pulled the hose off of the dryer to make the repair and discovered that a bluebird had built a nest inside the dryer vent hose and laid four beautiful blue eggs.

While we were away, the vent had opened enough for the bluebird to come in and lay the eggs, but with more storms passing through, the vent had closed again to the point where the mother bird was not able to come back in for a couple of days to sit on her eggs.  The chances are slim at this point that the eggs will hatch, but we carefully removed them from the hose and placed them intact with their nest in a garden container and moved them into our walk up attic, which is very warm and identical to the temperature of the dryer vent hose where the mother had chosen to lay the eggs.  We’ll continue to watch the eggs and see if they will hatch, which would be a minor miracle at this point.

A visit from a bluebird laying eggs in your home does not go un-noticed in this house and I had to go research the shaman meanings of bluebirds and the reason for their visit, which include:

• A good omen, considered to bring happiness, contentment and joy
• The bluebird visits a human and reports back to the gods, similar to the phrase, “a little bird told me”.
• Prosperity, good luck and the bluebird is the only bird considered not to have a dark side.
• Symbol of changes and passages, bluebirds indicate that those who previously attempted to block our progress, will now find themselves blocked and hindered
• Bluebirds are the magical color of the East and enhance the throat chakra and creative artistic impression

There’s also the number 4 in the equation here, with four brilliant blue eggs in the nest. Four symbolizes creating balance in all aspects of life. It is calm, enduring and friendly. It represents the four directions, north, south, east and west, the four winds and the four seasons and represents the fourth dimension, in which time is an illusion.  It also stands for the four guardian angels and the four corners of the temple.

We have been blessed four times by the bluebird of happiness and we offer thanks to the Great Spirit and Mother Nature for this divine gift.

Welcome to ‘The Quick Five’, where I chat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers and researchers and ask them five questions about their work. My guest today is Stanton Friedman. Stanton received BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, classified, eventually cancelled, projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space.

Since 1967 he has lectured on the topic “Flying Saucers ARE Real!” at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in 50 states, 9 provinces, and 16 other countries. He has published more than 80 UFO papers and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored “Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident.” TOP SECRET/MAJIC, his explosive book about the Majestic 12 group established in 1947 to deal with crashed saucers, was published in 1996 and went through 6 printings. He has provided written testimony to Congressional Hearings, appeared twice at the UN, and been a pioneer in many aspects of Ufology including Roswell, Majestic 12, the Betty Hill-Marjorie Fish star map work; analysis of the Delphos, Kansas, physical trace case; crashed saucers, flying saucer technology and challenges to the S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort to Investigate) cultists.

Stanton Friedman takes a clear-cut unambiguous stand that some UFO’s are alien spacecraft, that the subject of flying saucers represents a Cosmic Watergate, that none of the anti-UFO arguments made by a variety of noisy negativists stand up to careful scrutiny, and that we are dealing with the biggest story of the past millennium: visits to Planet Earth by alien spacecraft and the successful coverup by governments of the best data: alien wreckage and bodies recovered in New Mexico, for 63 years. He has spent many weeks at a total of 20 document archives. Stan has successfully taken on many critics of flying saucers, Roswell, Majestic 12, including winning a debate at Oxford University.

Stanton has previously been a guest on The Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, where I discussed his work and his book, Flying Saucers and Science. The topic of our interview today on the Quick Five is Stanton’s new book, Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths About Cures, Theories, and Inventions They Declared Impossible‘, which was co-authored with Kathleen Marden.

Kala: Stanton, wonderful to speak with you again and welcome to the ‘Quick Five’. Your new book is entitled – Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths About Cures, Theories, and Inventions They Declared Impossible’. What was the most astounding bit of information that you discovered that scientists had wrong and which field of science did you find has the most errors?

Stanton: That is like trying to say which of your children you prefer. The most distressing, frankly, was the terrible Eugenics Movement with its Hitlerian approach to selecting the finest people and keeping others from reproducing. My own grandparents wouldn’t have been allowed in since they could not have passed tests in English when they arrived. Kathleen did an outstanding job on that chapter. There were loads of errors in the space and aviation areas…. False claims made by smart people who knew nothing about the topics at hand

Kala: Several of the chapters in the book deal with medical issues, such as the Hemophilia Holocaust. Can you describe to our readers the relevance and importance of this holocaust? Also what types of medical cures did you find in your research that were proved wrong at a later date?

Stanton: Ten thousand American Hemophiliacs were made HIV positive as a result of the medical community’s advice to keeping using the Factor VIII transfusions because there was only one chance in a million that the virus could be transmitted via transfusion. The factor was made by batch processing of blood using thousands of units. If one was contaminated, all the product would be. Furthermore, it was already know that heat treatment of blood products could eliminate viruses such as Hepatitis C. But that was too expensive! The voices of reason were ignored until it was too late.

Kala: You and the late Carl Sagan were class mates in the physics department at the University of Chicago for three years. You mention in Science Was Wrong and elsewhere that he was wrong about UFO’s, abductions, and government cover-ups. Did you two argue in physics class about these theories or did the differences evolve at a later date?

Stanton: We were classmates 1953-1956 and never discussed such matters. I didn’t read a book about UFOs until 1958 and didn’t find Blue Book Special Report 14 until about 1961. I visited him a couple of times in Ithaca , much later, when speaking at Cornell University . We obviously disagreed,though cordially. I also wrote him a strong critique of his Sunday Supplement article about abductions.

Kala: Do you believe that the changes in the energy output of the sun are the real cause of climate change as opposed to the production of CO2?

Stanton: I am certainly convinced, along with a number of scientists, that the sun is the primary driver of the earth’s climate. There have been times when the CO2 level was much higher than now without catastrophic global warming. CO2 isn’t even the most abundant greenhouse gas.. water vapor is. The notion that man is responsible for the climate doesn’t hold up. New satellites are providing more and more data pointing the finger at the sun. We can’t do much about that.

Kala: Stephen Hawking is one of the best known scientists on the planet. What are your thoughts about his comments in April about aliens?

Stanton: Frankly, as I have said in one of my monthly columns, his comments were pretty silly. None of the astrophysicists have deigned to examine the overwhelming evidence that aliens have already been visiting. The notion that Earthlings can be compared to the Native Americans discovered by Columbus is absurd. We have many weapons of mass destruction and the means for delivering them. We will be going to the stars using our newly found (1938) notions that nuclear fusion is what powers the stars and our ability to harness fusion with our first H-bomb in 1952. It released the energy of 10 million tons of TNT. We are obviously a primitive society whose major activity is tribal warfare as demonstrated by our killing of fifty million earthlings during WW 2. Nobody out there would want us to leave here. The notion that if aliens were coming, they would have communicated with us using technology like ours is beyond silly. Columbus didn’t send smoke signals to the natives.

Kala: I’m breaking my own rule here and going for a sixth question, but I have to ask. Science used to be a field that was open to free flowing thoughts, open minded ideas and hypothesis’s that were explored no matter how radical the idea was at the beginning. It now seems to have done a complete reversal, becoming dogmatic and scientists are quick to ridicule each other and shun scientists who are pioneers of new fields of study. You cite some examples in your book such as Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky. Why has science changed, with the focus more on debunking, destruction and isolation, rather than creating and supporting new research? How it is it affecting the various fields of study and the scientists themselves?

Stanton: Now it is really a question, not of the search for truth, but of the search for status, tenure and research grants and fear of being held up for ridicule. I have spoken at over 600 colleges and found that fewer than 2% have read any of the large scale scientific studies I discuss. In addition 10% of the attendees have seen a UFO but 905 did not report what they saw mostly for fear of ridicule. Most professors lack courage to swim against the tide.

Kala: Stanton, thanks for taking the time to join me here for the Quick Five.

Stanton: You are very welcome. My privilege. My books and a number of articles are listed at my web site www.stantonfriedman.com

Welcome to the ‘Quick Five’, where I chat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers and researchers and ask them five questions about their work. Our guest today is Crichton Miller. In his book, The Golden Thread of Time, Crichton explores the ancient scientific and spiritual wisdom that has shaped our present and still influences our future. He reveals a forgotten system that reaches back beyond the current established religions, further than Ancient Egypt or Sumerian into an age where Mankind lived in harmony with Nature.

Kala: Crichton, welcome to the ‘Quick Five’. You’ve written a book entitled The Golden Thread of Time. How did you become interested in this topic and its history?

Crichton: Hello Kala and hello to your readers, thank you for asking me to share my work, you are quite correct, I have written a book called the Golden Thread of Time which was published in 2001. There are many esoteric reasons for the title, which can be interpreted on many levels of consciousness by the reader.

To answer the second part of the question, How did you become interested in this topic and its history? I want to share a passage from the Bhagavad-Gita with you:

‘The living entity, bewildered by ignorance, desires to be put in certain conditions of life, thereby his or her chain of action and reaction begins. A living entity is, by superior Nature, full of knowledge’.

As a living entity, I decided not to be bewildered by ignorance and so was put in unique and unusual conditions of life which allowed a different chain of action and reaction than was the norm for my peers. I decided to search the world both inner and outer to find the answers I needed that released the forgotten knowledge I hold within me. Each one of us is Life Being Human and we are all collective in the true nature of the word individual which really means indivisible from the Duality. It has always been essential for our survival as a family, tribe, clan, business or country to have unified collective beliefs whether they are right or wrong. This essential element is designed to allow a society to perpetuate itself in balance and harmony in an environment that is specifically designed to return all systems to chaos after a period of time. To understand this truth requires a knowledge of the true nature of time and to work with it. That is what our ancestors managed to do over thousands of years until their great civilisations collapsed and died. In each of these collapses, much was destroyed and only a few fragments remain which are either misunderstood or deliberately abused. I set out to find some of these fragments and piece them together using reason and common sense. That process allowed me to discover the methods used by our ancestors to keep time, measure the earth and construct buildings embodying the knowledge of the Nature of this world for posterity.

In my research, I have discovered that the very thing that saves us from instability in one set of circumstances can also destroy us if we adhere to it when those circumstances have changed. As we have become more secular in modern times we find that that very secularity creates conflict with the collective well being. Topic in the ancient sense of the word comes from the Greek and is a class of considerations and arguments’ on which a rhetorician may draw.

My rhetorical topic then is this: History as we understand it is in error because those that wrote it felt that to expose the true nature of the world to the masses would bring chaos into society. When corruption worked its way into the Church and Crown the rebellion which resulted in the destroyed Royalty throughout Europe and discredited the Roman Catholic Church leading to fragmentation of Christianity. Some critical thinkers in the past saw the duplicity and hypocrisy clearly and separated themselves from the old ways of thinking preferring rational and provable evidence, but those who blindly maintained the system fought to preserve it at all costs. In other words a battle line was drawn up between science and church. The result was a descent into secularity with deep divisions appearing between the spiritual and the practical. The worldly process has gained dominance through the linear thought patterns created by Darwin who argued continued improvement of the species through natural selection.

The truth I argue is that Science and Spirituality are indivisible and therefore our ancestors practised science too but with the addition of a spiritual world view giving superiority to Nature as a whole and accepting our reduced role in a holistic approach. It is my argument that Humanity is entering another stage in the journey which could result in the destruction of our society as we know it and a return to a Dark Age or a step forward into a sane and balanced future. The Maya predict this as 2012 but the process is already beginning where world economies fail and Nature attacks us on all quarters.

The proof of this fall is a historical and cyclical evidence that all failed civilisations descend into secularity while the barbarian enters the back door. Before we can rebuild we need to uncover the truth and re learn a system that allows us to live in balance with those awesome forces. The word Temple means a place of measuring Time using the movements of the heavens as does the word Church. To measure anything requires a balanced holistic instrument which is both spiritual and practical. That original instrument is the cross with the wheel and it is the archetype and embodiment of all measuring instruments and mathematical principles that we employ in science today.

Kala: Is the Celtic Cross a scientific instrument as well as a sacred symbol? How did ancient people use the cross in architecture, philosophy and geometry? Did they also use the cross in combination with the zodiac and the pyramids?

Crichton: The Celtic cross is the key to understanding how our ancestors thought and survived and therefore it is both a scientific and a sacred instrument of the highest importance. Without studying its functions, no one can understand the ancient mysteries. I put together a theory that there must have been an archetype instrument that has remained elusive to archaeologists, historians and archaeoastronomers. I discovered that there was one in the Great Pyramid of Giza in the Queens Chamber that was discovered in 1872, parts of which lie in the British Museum and set about reconstructing it. Science is about measuring and testing which is what I have done. Make no mistake about its scientific credibility, since it has gained two British Patents as a surveying, astronomical and navigation instrument. I own by law and design the gift of the working Celtic Cross, Wodens Wheel, The Sun Cross, and any other derivation of our ancestors greatest sacred instrument that actually makes physical spherical geometric measurements. The Great Spirit of Creation and the Spirit of our ancestors gave it to me and me alone out of millions of people on our planet.

As Don Ajlehandro, Chief Mayan Elder and Spiritual Leader of his people said to me at a Sun Ceremony in 1998 I have been chosen and I am predicted in the Mayan Glyph ” Man with a Purpose”. and that “Our Jesus Christ was crucified on the sign of his own science and spirituality”. In time gone by, some of our ancient ancestors specialised in agricultural lifestyles and others were land and seafaring hunter gatherers that eventually became wandering herdsmen . Both of these lifestyles require the practical and spiritual understanding of time and place and the only way to do this successfully was to study the predictable motions of the sun, moon and planets against the fixed back ground stars. Geometry, which literally means earth measurement, comes from astrology which means star logic, or mathematics. You see, each star follows an imaginary line and is always directly above a point on the earth on that line at least once a day as the planet spins, consequently all the natural numbers of measurement come from this knowledge. It is the meaning of the word to Rule or measure. There were adepts who were chosen by their people or tribe and that knew how to measure for the benefit of society who were called Rulers as is the simple instrument used in every school today.

A Rulers service to humanity was to measure the value of produce, measure land ownership, create the Rule of Law and predict future events. They were the real Lords of Time and could divine Time. That is why it is called the Divine Right of Kings chosen by the group for their talents given by the Gods. The Rulers became so sophisticated that they created the natural numbers we still use today from the motions of the heavenly bodies. Genesis Verse 14. 15 and 16 in the Holy Bible instructs us exactly how they did this. They made signs in the stars that were similar to objects on the earth in their local area so that the generations that came after them would understand. Because they believed in reincarnation those signs were placed in myth , word, stone and wood constructions so as to be preserved to remind them of what they already knew in a previous life if and when they were re born. This was science to them although they did not call it that, and I cannot argue that they were unscientific in their theories and conclusions based on observation, measurement, and construction. The pyramid complex at Giza is one such example where the Ruler incorporated the mathematics of the stars into a format of indestructible stone. It is said that Sir Isaac Newton worked out the rate of luni-solar precession at the pyramid complex. Well, he would, since there is nothing to work out, it was all done for him thousands of years ago, the pyramids tell us the rate of precession as well as giving us the circumference of the earth, and the speed of the moon apart from hundreds of other mysteries. You only have to know how to look and it becomes obvious.

Our ancestors, whom we disrespect if we apportion their skills to aliens in space ships, believed that failure to remember and understand the Natural Laws would lead future generations into chaos and cause the eventual destruction of our civilisation and possibly our species. Ancient people believed that our planet that they saw as the Mother and the Sun that they saw as the Father were vastly superior living thinking entities that held complete dominion over us. They also considered that each entity on the planet had a Spirit which the Egyptians called Neteru from which the word Nature is derived. The word Scientific means making systematic, exact knowledge and the working Celtic cross does exactly that.

Kala: Is the cross a Time keeper? How was it used with water clocks?

Crichton: The cross is not a timekeeper but rather the only logical instrument capable of measuring the Natural cycles of time using the exact motions and positions of the moon, sun and planets as they travel along the ecliptic plane. It was the person using the cross was the Time Keeper. What allowed my patent was the upright arm on the top of the cross which makes it unique . It is because of the top arm that sidereal or horizontal measurements can be taken and no other archaic instrument such as the Egyptian Merkhet, quadrant, astrolabe, octant, cross staff or sextant can achieve that level of spherical geometry or accuracy. The problem with observing the stars and planets is that it can only be done when the sky is clear and there is an uninterrupted view of the sky and horizon. Water clocks and sand timers allow time to be kept and them re calibrated when the sky becomes clear again.
Kala: The history of the cross begins with ancient Shamanism, through the burning of Alexandria and its rediscovery 500 years later by the Knights Templar, resulting in communication with the Amerindians before Columbus and eventual excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. How did the meaning of the cross become hidden and lost in our full view?

Crichton: The original Rulers were Shaman. They communicated with the Nature Spirits at all levels for the benefit of their tribes either naturally or through drug enhanced sensitive mental states. This ancient skill is called Animism because they communicated with the “Over Spirit” of each species or element that were of either of service or threat to them and sought advice from their ancestors. My abilities and the gift of the cross make me a throwback or incarnation of those ancient people, I use these powers in everyday life and business to protect those who rely on me. Shaman looked for meaningful forms and omens in rocks, water, clouds, trees, fire and the stars, a process we call Simulacra today. Much of this way of life can be seen in the remnants of the Amerindian practices including Totems and dressing up in bird and animal forms. The Signs in the heavens were originally animism and simulacra as can be seen from the Greek word Zodiac which literally means wheel of animals. Ancient Egypt was the peak culmination of an enormous length of Human time we like to call the Stone Age which was eventually conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great. Eventually a great library was founded in Alexandria which housed countless papyrus scrolls with the history and techniques learned over countless millennia. Many of these ancient books fed the philosophy of Greece and its Arab neighbours before being deliberately destroyed by fire. What little scraps of knowledge that were saved were scattered far and wide with some ending up in Jerusalem, Timbuktu and Constantinople, but the unified history and science of the astrological ages of Aries and Taurus were lost forever.  It is from Constantinople that we find sea Charts or Portolans such as the ‘Admiral Pirie Reis maps’ that describe the ability to find both latitude and longitude a thousand years before it was supposedly discovered with the invention of the stable Chronometer by Harrison in the 1700′s.

It should be remembered that Constantinople which houses the great Temple Sophia was the seat of the founder of the Roman Catholic Church Constantine who changed the Christian Piscean sign of the Fish for the Cross which was from his Gaul homeland, already ancient the cross was known to northern Celtic tribes as Wodens Wheel. It was reputedly Constantine’s wife who discovered the real cross in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem band whereas history records this discovery as a Relic it is more likely the source of early Christendom’s great knowledge and power. The word Church comes from the words Kirk meaning ruler and Cerise meaning circle and so properly translated means measurer of the circles. Since the name Templar is associated with the Latin word Tempus meaning Time we can see its dualistic role as keepers of the Temple and Time keeping.

The combination of Time keeping and earth measurement along with more ancient Portolans allowed the powerful Templar fleet to trade with the Amerindian cultures while perpetuating the myth in the Dark Ages that the world was flat. The secret eventually leaked and the Templar’s were captured and tortured to find this valuable source of gold and new land that had made the order so rich. There is only one ancient instrument that can find longitude without running two mechanical time pieces and that is the cross and plumb line calibrated with astrology and a carefully kept almanac showing the position of the retrograde moon against the ecliptic stars and Venus. This gave enormous power to the Church and they would kill and burn to protect the knowledge from those outside the hierarchy. They set about conquering the New World and the rest is history. However, there is two simple clues to the deceit, one is the Diego Ribero Chart of 1510 which is in the Vatican showing the world in perfect longitude including both sides of the Americas and two hundred years before longitude was discovered and the Saxton Map of England in the 14th Century with Wells Cathedral at Glastonbury as the centre of the meridian with longitude graduations along the southern edge.

Wells Cathedral had the first 24 hour clock which made it England’s first mechanised Temple. In defence of the map which the headline boasted “Did they have GPS in the Middle Ages” and was recently sold for a fortune it was pointed out that this highly accurate and anomalous map had to be kept secret so as to protect the country from invaders. If you know what I have learned you can read the messages in all churches and cathedrals about the importance and creativity of Time. It has been hidden in full public view because the Church can say on the Day of Judgment that the knowledge was left available to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. But just in case, it was forbidden on pain of death to hold the Cross any other way other than upright.

Kala: The research explores how a Star Cult was born of necessity, which then led to the concepts of a Sun God in Heaven that still exists in fragmented form today. Can you explain the history behind these concepts?

Crichton: If we don’t know the time, we are lost, If we don’t know the place, we are lost, If we don’t know where we came from, we are lost, If we don’t know where we are going, we are lost. We have become disconnected, forgetting our past, blind to the obvious, frightened of the future, bewildered about our own existence through secularity and singularity. Our ancestors were not because they kept time by the natural motions and rhythms of the sun and moon, seeing all Nature as one expression of Life in all its diversity and consciousness maintaining balance. To observe the position of the signs in the zodiac was essential for planning to intercept migrating herds or fish, collecting berries and fungi each by its month and season.
We only have to realise that the moon has 12 orbits of the earth in a year which is why a month is really a moon-th .That its speed over the earth’s surface is 720 arc minutes per hour and its influence on the earth’s tilt that causes the seasons is 1 degree every 72 years to begin to understand what they knew and we have forgotten.

The 3000 year old Pagan Gold Wizards hats from Europe incorporate the 18.6 year Metonic cycle or Enneadecaeteri reputedly discovered by Meton of Athens a thousand years later.  Through stellar observation, they learned to sow and reap at the right time as conditions on the planet changed throughout the year because of the natural obliquity to the sun. Appreciation of the spirit of the moment and perfect harmonious timing became a star cult with its own feast days, celebrations, percussion, music, singing and dancing at regular times for various purposes kept by the Rulers and Priests. Each precessional Age was named, so Egyptian for the Age of Aries which commenced with the building of the Great Pyramid of Khufu is Amen which is put on the end of the Christian Lord’s Prayer today. However the name Pharaoh (which means Great House) and the living God was often named in this way Tut Ankh Amen, which translates as Wisdom and life of Aries Amen-Ra means the Creator Ra(Sun) in the Age of(Amen) Aries a kind of composite concept between the sun and the Time The moon was vital because she caused fertility in women and the Sun was the source of all Life. Each heavenly body and constellation was measured every moment and the priests referred to as Followers of Horus(Time) were the Watchers in huge temples from Stonehenge to Giza and on all continents across vast oceans separated by water and time. The watch on our wrist has a hand that is a pointer to the sun and the mechanical clock is directly descended from the mathematics of the Zodiac calibrating the position of the sun as it moves over the spinning earth, before we mechanised it and became disconnected, we knew that we are its energy and without it we have nothing.

The Sun passes its rays of energy to the earth and feeds the leaves on the trees and the grass in the fields, watering them and keeping them warm. We eat that energy second hand through food and that food becomes us and we become that energy. People were taught to bless and respect food because it would become part of us and become as enlightened as we are because we are what we eat. We are all sons and daughters of the Sun and the Sun is our Life and we are the Life, each one of us is of the sun and the earth and our own family genetics or blood line. Christ on the cross is the Sun at the winter solstice, fixed in the moment of death pinned to the wheel of Time before being resurrected. The ancients knew that when the sun dies every winter solstice it stands still for three days and like the image of Christ on the time piece(Cross) the sun rises to bring new life to our frozen north. They saw that the crops and insects plants and trees are renewed and felt that we were no different because Heaven told them so through observation. It was Akhenaton that displaced all the Neteru and the Creative force of the moment (Amen)with the monotheistic Sun God. But he did not know that the Sun is but one star amongst billions in the Creation of the Great Spirit.

In a few years I shall pass away from this mortal body and if I am fortunate I will see the world again through the eyes of those yet to be born, but the last prayer I make is this one, that I may take Human form in the Golden Thread of Time and be born into a Golden Age of peace and beauty that is not become mad with illusion and lies that breed fear.

Here is the poem I wrote in 2000 just before 911 when the world of Men was shaken and changed forever.

‘The Golden Thread of Time
Chaos rules the world of Man and Nature in the moment of now,
Order will return for as moment in the cycle of the times,
but the World will never die,
The Vine of Man may wither and pass away.
They who are to walk the earth
Will spin beneath the ruthless eye of Starry Serpent
and watch the hoary twelve sail by with Orion at the helm
and will they see the sun give life by day?
As did we,
and live in balance with the world
For a while.
New Birth will come and Ma-at return,
New eyes may greet the rising of the Sun,
In distant future, another kind may taste the living air of ancient dead and rise in life from the dust of ages.
To wonder once again at the stars and keep the Time to sail on wind and tide.
What clothes will you wear my love?
and how shall I recognise thee?
Will we be as One as once before?
When we meet again in this ship of Life, in distant times,
On the Golden Thread of Millions of Years’.

Shamans, mystics, high priestesses and psychics access many forms in nature in order to communicate with the natural and supernatural worlds and receive information from the earth and the higher planes. On the earth plane, the natural elements of earth, air, fire and water relay energetic messages. In my work as an intuitive, I pay attention to signs in nature as they appear, as there is much information to be found in the world around us if we slow down long enough to look around and take notice. With any reading of natural elements, there is an art and skill involved as well as discernment. Mystics will explain that not every animal has a message when seen and the same goes for other natural elements. Having said that, there are times in nature, in clouds, in totem animal appearances and in other rare occurrences, when there is a message being shared.

While traveling on Sunday evening along the coast of Florida, a friend of mine watched a storm rolling in and she noticed that the clouds looked particularly ominous. She snapped this photo and sent to me,  asking me what I thought about this formation. When reading clouds, the shape of the cloud is taken into account along with the connection with the elements of air and water. When clouds appear light and fluffy, they represent the energy of air. On days when clouds prepare to release the water vapor they have gathered, they represent the element of water as they return the condensation back to the earth as rain.

The clouds in this photo are gathering for a strong storm. The energetic pattern formed here expresses the anger emitting from the earth plane regarding the catastrophic situation in the oceans with the oil spill in the Gulf. The clouds are extremely dark and heavy, as if they are trying by sheer will to lift and remove the toxic oil out of the ocean.

The image has taken on the energy and shape of a dragon cloud. Dragons represent the ley lines of the earth. The earth is in great turmoil as the devastation continues from the oil spill which continues to spread, soon to reach the rest of Florida and then over to the Atlantic, moving up to North Carolina and into the Gulf Stream which will carry it over to Europe. The cycles of balance in nature are not fully understood during this shift of the ages and it is not quite clear how much damage will occur when the oil spill hits the gulf stream, which affects our weather patterns. No one quite knows how rapidly earth changes will occur. We have only to reference the scientific research presented regarding the melting Wilkins ice shelf in the Antarctic, which was predicted that it would take another 15 years to move and instead a huge section has already broken away and the shelf still in existence is now being described by climate scientists as ‘hanging by a thread’. The surprise collapse of the Larsen B Ice Shelf provides another example.

While many people are deeply saddened over the oil spill in the Gulf, it has not yet hit the full global consciousness that this is a disaster of proportions which has not been seen before in this lifetime and many others. Beyond the very obvious and growing worse daily environmental impact, there will be an equally devastating economic impact which will be felt globally.

Returning back to the Dragon Cloud and what it predicts, beyond the ley lines and earth energy that it represents, the dragon also represents Asia. The dragon will bring a backlash from Asia and it will affect the stock markets in a most negative way. Watch for this to occur this week and the effect to be felt in all markets.

Welcome to ‘The Quick Five’, where I chat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers and researchers and ask them five questions about their work. My guest today is Laila del Monte, an author and acclaimed flamenco dancer with a master’s degree in the history of religion from Sorbonne. Laila teaches animal communication in the U.S. and Europe, (living in both Los Angeles and Paris) with her specialty being “problem horses” and sick and injured animals.

Kala: Hi Laila, welcome to the ‘Quick Five’. You’ve written a book entitled – Psychic Communication with Animals for Health and Healing. When did you first realize that you could psychically communicate with animals?

Laila: Hello, Kala. I’m very pleased to speak with you. When I was a child on the island of Formentera, Spain, it was “normal” to me. It’s only when I went to French school that I realized I was a bit different.

Kala: Your specialty is working with horses and sick and injured animals? What draws you to work with horses?

Laila: It’s impossible to put into words. I’ve felt an affinity with them forever. I absolutely love healing horses! Nevertheless I love all animals and all sick animals are the same to me. There is no difference if it’s a million dollar competition horse or a poor donkey in a field. If he suffers and we can help, we will. It’s an honor for me to help them.

Kala: In your book you mention that the unconditional loving nature of animals often leads them to take on physical pains and negative emotional experiences of the humans in their lives. Can you explain to our readers how the animal is affected by taking on this energy?

Laila: Yes. I don’t think it’s done on a conscious level. I wouldn’t be able to explain how it’s done but they take on either physically or in their behavior issues that we have. Nevertheless we shouldn’t feel guilty as we all have “stuff’ and the infinite love that is their nature, chooses to do so. We can’t become flawless all of a sudden. I think we’re here(on earth) to experiment and live.

Kala: What advice would you give to animal lovers who wish to communicate with their animals? Are there different techniques depending upon the type of animal? For example, would communication skills differ from a cat, versus a dog or horse?

Laila: No, communication is the same for all species. It’s different for domesticated and wild animals though. Domesticated animals are very close to us and therefore take on more human traits. With wild animals, one has to be even more respectful of their nature and not burden them with our thoughts and emotions. They are interested in their own lives and survival, not really in us humans.

Kala: You reside in both Paris and Los Angeles. Have you noticed differences in the animals living in the U.S. versus the ones in Europe? Do the animals take on the cultural differences and are they affected by the energy of the country as well as by living in large cities like L.A and Paris, versus the countryside?

Laila: Hello, animals are the same everywhere. I have not noticed cultural differences except in French poodles (he he) No, that’s a joke. What affects them is the people they live with. Yes, of course, an animal living in a city and stuck in an apartment is very different than an animal living in the countryside. The one in nature has more chances to release stress and emotions taken on by his guardians.

Kala: Laila, thanks for taking the time to join me here for the Quick Five. All the best to you in your endeavors.

Laila: Thank you very much, Kala. it was a pleasure.
