MR. ALVAREZ HAS BEEN INVOLVED BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HIS GRANDDAUGTHER NINA
ALVES
HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY SHE COULDN'T READ ANY MORE SHE DIDN'T LOOK ANY DIFFERENT
BUT SHE ACTED OLDER
HE FOUND IN 2004 HE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS IN THE ILLUMINATI
HE DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND GOT HOLD OF WILLIAM MORRIS BROBECK'S WORK ON THE BEVEATRON
AND THIS IS WHERE IS STORY BEGINS
HE ALSO TALED WITH ORION TECHNOLOGY AND THIS IS WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO GET HOLD OF NINA
AND SEND HER FORWARD TO THE YEAR 10,000AD
SEE BELOW FOR THIS QUESTION AND ANSWER SHEET
HE ALSO HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH IN TIME TO CREATE THE CHAMBER WHICH HELD MY SEEDS

E. KENNEDY AKA SOPHIA OF WISDOM III
Luis W. Alvarez (June 13, 1911 – September 1, 1988), San Francisco, California, USA, was a famed American Nobel Prize-winning physicist of Spanish and Cuban descent, who spent nearly all of his long professional career on the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley.
He was the son of famed physician Walter C. Alvarez and grandson of Luis F. Alvarez, who worked as a doctor in Hawaii and developed a method for the better diagnosis of macular
leprosy. His aunt, Mabel Alvarez, was a California artist who specialized in oil painting. His son, Walter Alvarez, is a noted Professor of Geology at the University of California, Berkeley.
Alvarez attended the University of Chicago, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1932, his master's degree in 1934, and his PhD in 1936.
During World War II, Alvarez was a key participant in the Manhattan Project including Project Alberta on the dropping of the bomb, and in war projects in general. He flew as a scientific observer
of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on The Great Artiste.
Alvarez and his student Lawrence Johnston designed the exploding-bridgewire detonators for the spherical implosives used on the Trinity and Nagasaki bombs[1].
In addition to weaponry-related projects, he also did important work relating to radar and navigation technologies. In particular, he received the 1945 Collier Trophy, the highest government honor in aviation, for developing the Ground Controlled
Approach system (GCA), which pilots can use to land a plane in low visibility conditions. After the war he went on to invent
the synchrotron.
Later in his career, Alvarez won the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physics for "the discovery of a large number of resonance states, made possible through his development
of the technique of using hydrogen bubble chamber and data analysis". This research was significant because it allowed scientists to record
and study the short lived particles created in particle accelerators.
In 1980, he and his son, Walter, presented the asteroid-impact theory as an explanation for the presence of an unusual abundance of iridium associated with the geological event referred to as the K-T extinction boundary. Ten years after this initial proposal, evidence of a huge impact crater called Chicxulub off the coast of Mexico strongly confirmed their theory. Since that time, the concept
of impact by an extraterrestrial body has become the most widely accepted explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Alvarez also proposed a jet-recoil theory for the Kennedy assassination to explain why John F. Kennedy's head jerked backwards if Lee Harvey Oswald, shooting from behind the president, was the assassin.
In 1978, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

The Interviews
Where do you want to start?
Let's start with the Phoenix Project.
It was a project that evolved out of the Philadelphia Project. it was a project that the Navy
did in the 1930's and 1940's in an attempt to make ships invisible. They threw the switch one eventful day and the ship went
into hyperspace. They had all sorts of problems with the people on the boat. It was a huge success as well as a huge failure
- then they shelved it. Around 1947 it was decided to re-activate the project and it was moved to Brookhaven National Laboratories
with Dr. John Von Neumann and his associates. Out of Phoenix I came Stealth technology, which I cannot talk about because
of my job. It also produced all sorts of energetic little toys like the radiosonde.
What is a radiosonde?
Well, in all appearances it was a little white box that they attached to a balloon and sent
up into the atmosphere. The government told people that it involved gathering weather data. It used a very unusual type of
pulse modulation. In most cases they used a CW (continuous wave) oscillator and pulsed the signal. This turned out to be a
very efficient conversion of electrical energy to etheric energy. I very recently started collecting radiosondes. I never
saw a receiver. I found out that they were designed up at Brookhaven National Labs. I started to talk to people at Brookhaven
and ran into a retired gentleman who used to work there. He told me that the design was originally done by Wilhelm Reich.
That peaked my interest. The story goes that in about 1947 Wilhelm Reich handed the US Government a weather control device,
a device that would do DOR-busting. Reich thought that if he could decrease the amount of DOR that storms would not be so
violent. (DOR is the result of orgone energy coming into contact with an enclosed radioactive source. This produces a Deadly
Orgone Energy - DOR - which threatens life. It is also produced in the atmosphere through other processes. The government
sent the device up there into a storm and it did reduce the intensity of the storm. The government liked it, and they started
another phase of the Phoenix project where they designed these "radiosondes" and started launching
them in large numbers, maybe 200 to 500 per day. The radio in these things had a range of about 1oo miles. If they used so
many of them, one would think that receivers for them would be common-place. I used to be a collector of radio receivers.
I have over 100 in my personal collection. I have never seen a radiosonde receiver. I have heard of them but I have never
seen them.
What are the frequencies used?
The frequencies used are 403 MHz and 1680 MHz. They used two different frequencies.
They are both on at the same time?
No. One or the other was used at any one time. The earlier ones used 403 MHz plus or minus 2
MHz. The later ones used 1680 MHZ, plus or minus 6 MHz. The "thermistor" in them had gold, silver, platinum and iridium in
it. Reich used sensors that had gold and silver in them. The humidity element is a plastic plate with silver around the rim
and conductive lines going across the plate. They put a very unusual mixture of chemicals on this plate. Unlike most humistors,
the resistance went up as it got damp.
What we're theorizing at this point is that the "thermistor" (temperature sensing) rod acts
like a DOR antenna out-of-phase. The "humidity sensor" acts as an antenna for the orgone; The pressure sensor is essentially
what they call a barrel switch, which is a pressure sensitive cycling switch. The device would destroy DOR and build up the
orgone. The transmitter consisted of two oscillators, one of which would run at the carrier frequency (403 or 1680) and a
second one which was a 7 MHz oscillator hooked into the grid of the carrier oscillator. The result was that the 7 MHZ oscillator
would pulse on and off.
How does all this relate to what was going on with these other projects?
The government could not tell the public these were weather control devices. What we are seeing
here is actually the genesis of what became the Montauk project, which was a combination of Wilhelm Reich's work and the Philadelphia
Experiment. There were two separate projects going on in Phoenix One. You had the invisibility aspect and you had the development
of Wilhelm Reich's weather control. Toward the end of the Phoenix project, by using some of Wilhelm Reich's concepts and some
of the transmission schemes used from the "radiosonde" project, they found that you could combine the two -factors and use
them for MIND CONTROL. Government circles would have me say "mood alteration",
but mind control is what these idiots were doing.
That's what the Montauk project was?
No. Phoenix One. After political circles found out about it they wanted it shut down. The people
that were running it went to the military and proposed that they could use it to "influence the minds of the enemy". The military
loved the idea, and let them use the old Montauk Air Force Base. Among the equipment requested was an old SAGE radar unit,
which was on the base. The base was shut down and everything was auctioned off. The group then moved in from the Brookhaven
Labs. That began what we call Phoenix Two. They spent the first ten years, from about 1969 to about 1979, researching pure
mind control. They started out by taking the output of the SAGE radar, modulating the special wave that Reich had showed them
from the weather control process, and combined that with something noticed from the Philadelphia Experiment work. They transmitted
about 406 MHz. It would hop around frequencies and change in phase. They used the amplidine concept where you have many stages
pulse-modulated. BRF was from 10 cycles to 750 cycles. The pulse width could be varied anywhere from 10 to 75ms. The center
frequency was 406MHz generated from a stay-low type function which was referenced from a zero-time function.
Was there any other modulation on this?
There was frequency hopping on it.
So Phoenix Two started in 1969?
Yes, in the period from 1969 to 1971. Phoenix One went from 1948 to 1968. The first part of
the mind control project was to take an individual and stand them about 250 feet away from the antenna. The SAGE radar had
a peak pulse power of .5 MW. The antenna had a gain of 30db. That means an effective radiated power of at least a gigawatt.
It was nominally a gigawatt. Can you imagine what that would do to people? I think its amazing these people are still here.
It does things like burn out brain functions, create neurological damage, scar lungs from heat, etc. They tried this with
a number of people and there were few survivors.
Where did they get the volunteers for this?
They were just grabbing indigent people off the street and throwing them in front of the radar
beam. That's the sort of nonsense that the government loves to do.
Who was in charge of the project at this time?
Dr. John Von Neumann and Jack Pruett.
Any particular agency?
I'm not sure what the agency was. Now, somebody got the brilliant idea to put the subjects directly
in line with the gain horn of the antenna. Lo and behold they got their result without burning the people up. They found out
that by varying the phase modulation and the frequency hopping and the pulsing of the multiple phases that they could have
profound effects on a persons mind.
How many people worked at this installation?
About 30.
Who authorized them use of the base?
The Air Force and the Navy. It was a joint project. There were both Navy and Air Force personnel
involved. We have copies of the orders for the Air Force personnel.
What was the cover story for the base?
They had none. It was a derelict base.
It was abandoned. It was turned over to GSA as surplus around 1969 or 1970 when they shut down
all the SAGE radar systems.
It was a "non-existent" operation. it was a perfect cover.
Where did they get the funding?
It was totally private.
Corporations?
It didn't originally come from corporations, although it did in later phases. The original money
came from the Nazi government.
This is Phoenix One?
No, this is Phoenix Two and Three. In 1944 there was an American troop
train that went through a French railroad tunnel carrying $10 billion in Nazi gold which they had found. it was $10 billion
at the 1944 price of $20 per ounce. The train was blown up in the tunnel. It killed 51 American soldiers. The gold turned
up ten years later at Montauk. This has been verified. That money was used to finance the project for many years as
the value of gold went uo. They spent all of it and ran out of money. That's when they tapped on ITT, who funded it. ITT was
owned by Krupp in Germany. In terms of personnel, many of the civilians and scientists there were all ex-Nazi's who came from
Germany both before and after the war ended. The project was under US Government surveillance. The intelligence community
knew what was going on and the CIA monitored everything, as did other government intelligence agencies. The field of players
who actually operated on the base was small, between 30 and 50. The funding was entirely private. After
1983, Senator Goldwater found out about it and started an investigation. He couldn't find any trace of government funding.
Pruett was the metaphysical director of the project. He was Air Force. After he left Dr. Herman C. Untermann took over. They
had an electronics expert, Dr. Mathew E. Zerrett, who came over from Germany in 1946 with Werhner von Braun. Probably the
reason that they ran out of money is that they had a total of 25 bases around the United States to support.
The last of the bases shut down August 12, 1983. The base at Montauk, where all the stations got their zero-time reference
from, shut down and the other two remaining bases went down with it.
What about some of the mind effects?
From what I recall of the program, as I was part of it, I was subjected to the mind control
field not as I initially went into the program (because they wanted me initially for my sensitive abilities) but later. I
was assigned to the indoctrination of the younger recruits. The first indoctrination turned out to be a disaster. I told them
I didn't want anything to do with the program, and they put me in front of this mind beam, and it did do damage to me. Finally,
someone said, "shut it off, he isn't going to give in to it" and they shut it off. Others were affected much more seriously
than I was. The effects were generally really bad. It could burn your brains out. They would go out and pick kids between
the ages of 12 and 16 off the street...
That's where a lot of disappearing American kids went?
We estimate they took 10,000 American children off the street and brought them to Montauk, New
Jersey. The total number of people that they pulled off the streets for the 25 stations was about 250,000. What the actual
thrust of the program was in terms of all these kids is still a mystery. We still don't know the answers. We know they were
fully programmed for something. They were subjected to programming which eventually became more "humane" using advanced electronic
techniques. The original programming was Reichian in nature and was more physical. Later they worked out techniques that used
computers and electronic programming with the Reichian techniques that took very fast and had little side effects.
Are you aware of any people presently who have been through this?
I've run into people over the years. There is a very specific field identity pattern you can
detect if you are sensitive enough. You can spot a person who has been through the Montauk program "five miles away". it's
vary distinctive in the way that it's been altered. I've spotted more than a dozen people in the Long Island, New York area.
What about Von Neumann?
He was still alive up until 1989. He has run into a problem with the government as well as other
problems, such as a personality split in 1977, when he resigned as director and became a consultant. The government told everyone
he died in 1956. The government is still interacting with him.
Were any of the Montauk subjects given psycho tropic drugs?
I don't think so...
They used one drug which was used in connection with the Reich programming to make them more
receptive. I don't remember the name of it. The effect of the drug was that it would make you "horny as
hell".
Also euphoric at the same time?
Also euphoric, yes.
Did they get this mind-altering chair from the aliens?
The prototype came from the aliens. Beyond that we are uncertain. This chair was essentially
a mind amplifier. The government would have specially trained individuals sit in the chair and generate thoughtforms, which
would be amplified and transmitted. They could transmit the signal and put people in a pre-orgasmic state where they would
be receptive to programming. It worked very well and they found other capabilities. They found that it could work in time.
They had a psychically trained individual sit in the chair and generate a thoughtform of a vortex that connected 1947 and
1981. That's exactly what they got - a time tunnel they could walk through. There was a series on television at one time that
portrayed this concept fairly accurately. These were some of the earlier capabilities. They started going forward and backward
in time. That was the last phase of the Phoenix project.
When did this time machine get going?
Around 1979 or 1980 it was fully operational. This transmitter had enough power to warp space
and time. The individual in the chair would have to synthesize the vortex function because they didn't have the technical
capability to do that. It can now be mechanically synthesized. They did other things. They had the subject in the chair think
of some creature, and the creature would materialize. They had the individual in the chair think of all the animals at Montauk
point charging into town, and that's exactly what happened. They almost had the power to create a being. The problem they
had was that what they created only stayed as long as the mind amplifier was on. The power was somewhere between gigawatts
and terrawatts. Tremendous power. The vortex could have a diameter of about five miles.
Can you describe what this looked like?
Its like looking into a peculiar spiral tunnel which was lit up down its entire length. You
would start to walk into this thing and then suddenly you'd be pulled down it. You didn't walk through it as such. You were
more or less propelled through it. You could go anywhere in space and time.
Could you bring things back?
Yes.
Have you ever brought anything back?
Yes.
Could you continue your description of the tunnel?
Yes. The walls were solid but fluted. The tunnel was not straight
but was a sort of corkscrew shape.
If someone turned off the power, would you be stuck in the destination time and space?
Yes. You'd be stuck there.
Did they send a lot of kids down the tunnel'?
Yes, but we don't know what their goals were. They lost a lot of kids.
Since there is a time loop between however far you went back in the past through however far
into the future, is everything fixed?
Yes.
One of the first things they did was send recruits forward to around 6030
AD. It was always to the same point. Somewhere in an abandoned city where there was a statue of
solid gold. When they came back they were asked what they saw. Whether they were expecting to find a different answer
from person to person is unknown. They would look into the vortex and make sure the environment would support life before
they sent people. They took samples.
NINA ALVES: THEY TOOK SOME BUT NOT ENOUGH NO ONE EVER CAME BACK
Are there potential futures that people could be sent to?
NINA ALVES: NO
No. once you make the connection with the future the line becomes fixed to that point.
NINA ALVES: THIS IS WHY SOPHIA OF WISDOM III - CAROLINE E. KENNEDY CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME
IT WILL CAUSE A POLAR FLIP
Can you change the present by sending someone to the past?
NINA ALVES: YES BUT YOU CAN'T GO BACK
Yes. You can also change the present by sending someone into the future. Under certain conditions.
The government is using existing time machines to go forward in the Montauk time line.
NINA ALVES: YOU CAN'T GO FORWARD ANYMORE AND YOU HAVE TO STAY IN LINE 5 LEVELS OF LINE
TIME
Are you saying that now the present can't be changed because we have established a time-loop
through the future and the past?
Yes. That means whatever everyone is doing between the most extreme past point and the future
they will be doing forever.
What is the furthest anyone has traveled in the future?
10,000 AD.
NINA ALVES: I TRAVELED TO 10,000 AD
So everything is locked in until 10.000AD?
Yes. It's a dreamlike reality. No one has picked up a tangible future beyond
2012 AD. There is a very abrupt wall there with nothing on the other side.
NINA ALVES: I HIT THE BLACK WALL OF THE BLACK BOX CALLED OUR UNIVERSE
Prophecies speak of earth changes around then.
Curious, isn't it?
Can you project yourself two hours into the future and meet yourself?
Yes, but its very dangerous. The person who walked into the tunnel is out of phase with the
person who comes out the other end. This did happen. The result is that the person just incinerates.
Did they ever give you a weapon in case you ran into anything negative?
They didn't have to do that. The vortex could be arranged to follow the person, so that they
could bring them back in if anything went wrong. They could see them on a viewer.
So they achieved a working time portal. At one point they had a situation where they had a "monster
from the ID" type creature come through and everyone went into a panic. They shut the transmitter off. The creature ate people
and equipment. They had to go back and shut down the unit in Philadelphia in order to shut off the unit in the future so they
could stop this creature in 1983. This was on August 12,1983. The vortex locked on to the 12 August 1943 test and formed a
loop. All this occurred because someone planted the thought in the mind of the operator in the chair to generate this creature.
It was an effort to sabotage the project. A lot of people thought the project had gone too far. When I worked for them between
1971 and 1983 1 was so tired when I would get home from work. What they would do is that when I my mission was over they would
return me to a point milliseconds before I left. It would appear from one perspective that I never left. Of course, after
I stopped working there, all that stopped. Is there a reason that all these things happened?
NINA ALVES: YES TO FIND THE CONTAINERS
If you go back into the Philadelphia experiment end of it, which was the beginning of the whole
business, one can see from the way that thing was maneuvered that there was a higher force of some kind involved in setting
the whole thing up .... because it never would have happened the way it did unless two obscure dates 40 years apart coincided
between the two experiments: the project known as the Philadelphia experiment, or Project Rainbow, in 1943 and the Montauk
project in 1983.
If I may interject something here. There is a point about two thirds of the way down the time
tunnel where the person who is going through the tunnel perceives a large "thump". The person's consciousness leaves their
body. There is a tendency to see things on a broader basis. I am sure there was some intelligence there. Looking back on my
experiences, I'm sure there was some intelligence there. I would have trouble with the recognition of it. What they were trying
to do at Montauk was to stabilize the perception process that would occur upon exteriorization from the body. They were trying
to manifest that for some reason. We don't know what their purpose was.
What was the role of the aliens in this whole thing, other than the prototype of the mental
amplifier chair?
That would be the another part of this that we haven't got into yet.
Let's look at what the Philadelphia experiment got into in a technical sense. It was what started
all this happening. It originally began back in the 1930's in Chicago with three people. Dr. John Hutchinson Sr., who was
the Dean of the University of Chicago, Nickola Tesla, and Dr. Kurtenaur, who was an Austrian physicist who was on staff at
the University.
They decided to do something with the speculation regarding the concept
of things and people being invisible. This subject had been discussed for several year. They got together and did some
research at the University of Chicago around 1931 or 1932. In 1933 the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton was formed
and the project was transferred there in 1934. One of the people on staff at the Institute was Dr. John Erich Von Neumann,
who was from Budapest Hungary. He got his degree in chemistry in 1925 and his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1926. He taught in Europe
for about four years and transferred to the United States. He taught at the graduate level for three years and was invited
to join the Institute.
Other people at the Institute included Albert Einstein, who left Germany in 1930. He went to
the California Institute of Technology for three years and taught there and then went to the Institute upon their invitation
and acceptance. A lot of other people showed up there as time went on. The project expanded about 1936. In the meantime, Tesla
was named director of the project. He was a friend of president Franklin Roosevelt, whom Tesla met in 1917 when FDR
was secretary of the Navy. Tesla was asked at that time to do some work for the government for the war effort, which he did.
He accepted and became director of the invisibility project until he resigned in 1942. In 1936,
after intensive study, they decided to have an initial test of their work. They achieved some partial invisibility. The Navy
and everyone else was encouraged to continue the work, and the Navy supplied money for research.
Scientists were coming to the United States from Germany until 1939, when the war with Germany
was started.
In 1940, after research using Tesla's approach, they decided they were ready for a full test
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They had a small ship and a tender ship at each side. One ship provided the power and the other
supplied the drive for the coils. They were tendered to the test ship by cables. The idea was that if anything went wrong
they could cut the cables or sink the test ship. Everything worked and the project was declared a success.
The important point about the 1940 test is that there was no one on board the test vehicle.
It was strictly a dry run with no people. This is important because of what happened later.
Other people came on board. Thomas T. Brown joined the project because of his expertise in electrogravity
effects. He had the task of solving the problem of the German magnetic mines that were affecting allied shipping and Naval
efforts. This led into a parallel project which involved the use of degaussing coils and cables to explode the mines at a
distance from the ship.
The Navy wanted several people to keep an eye on the tests. That is how I got involved. Keeping
technical commentaries. Let's look at Nickola Tesla.
In 1879 his father died and his first year at college ended. He came to the United States in
1884. He had enormously intuitive insight. He had a perfect track record. Before coming to the US he had known Robert Oppenheimer,
who later worked with the development of the atomic bomb, and Dr. David Hilbert, the mathematician who devised equations for
Hilbert Space, which described multiple space or multiple realities mathematically. These equations for multiple space became
very important in the project. Dr. von Neumann met Hilbert in 1927 and retained a lot of what he had learned. With that, Von
Neumann developed other new systems of mathematics. Von Neumann was considered to be one of the most outstanding mathematicians
in this century. Some think he was better than Einstein. Another mathematician involved was Dr. John Levinson, who was born
in 1912. He died in 1976. He published three books on mathematics. There is no other history of Levinson himself anywhere
that I can find. Levinson developed the so-called Levinson Time Equations. with all this behind them, the group had all they
needed to proceed with the project.
After the successful 1940 test, the Navy decided to give the project unlimited funds and to
classify the project. On December 5, 1941 I was in San Francisco and the government came and told me that a war with Japan
would start within 72 hours and that they needed me to assist them. In January 1942 I ended up at the Institute of Advanced
Studies. Tesla was given a ship and a crew for a full sized test. Tesla got a battleship. Tesla and Von Neumann didn't agree
on some things. Tesla insisted that they were going to have a very severe problem with personnel. Tesla wanted more time but
the NAVY wouldn't agree. Tesla made periodic announcements in the late 1930's and early 1940's about his contact with off
planet species. He was in contact with the outside, who agreed that there was a problem with the people. He decided to sabotage
the 1942 test in an attempt to stop the project. He de-tuned the equipment so nothing would work. The test failed. Tesla then
turned the project over to Von Neumann in March 1942 and left the project.
Von Neumann went to the Navy and requested time to study the problem to determine what had gone
wrong. Von Neumann decided to make changes in some of the equipment. He decided he would need a special ship that was designed
from the ground up. The Eldridge was selected. The equipment was built into the ship. They put all the equipment on the ship.
October 1942 arrived. They selected 33 volunteers for the crew, who arrived after graduation in December 1942. We still have
a picture of the class.
After the ship was out of drydock work began. In May of 1943 von Neumann installed a third generator.
It would never synchronize with the other two. It went out of control one day and zapped one of the men. Von Neumann pulled
out the third generator (installed because Tesla had convinced Von Neumann of the potential problem with people) and went
back to the original design. In mid June, the ship had sea trials. On July 22, 1943, they had the test. The ship between radar
and optically invisible. They discovered people very disoriented. The Navy pulled the crew off and consulted Von Neumann,
who requested more time again from the Navy. The Navy, after consultation with higher-ups, announced that the drop dead date
was on the 12th of August, 1943. Von Neumann voiced his concern that it wasn't enough time.
The Navy decided that it just wanted radar invisibility and not optical invisibility. The equipment
was again modified by Von Neumann. August 12th arrived. We knew things were not right. The test began, and for about a minute
everything was all right. The ships outline could be seen in the water. There was suddenly a blue flash and the ship disappeared
entirely. No radio communication was possible. It was gone. In about three hours it came back. One of the masts was broken.
Some personnel were partially embedded in the steel deck. Others were fading in and out. Some disappeared entirely. Many were
insane. The Navy extracted the crew and proceeded with four days of meetings to decided what to do about the problem. They
decided there would be one more test with another dry run without personnel. They conducted the dry run using about 1000 feet
of cable attached to another ship. In late October 1943 the test occurred. The ship disappeared for about 20 minutes. When
it returned, they found equipment missing. Two transmitter cabinets and one generator was missing. The cabinet with the zero-time
reference generator was intact. At that point, the Navy stripped the ship and stopped the project. The Eldridge served in
the war and was turned over to Greece at the end of the war.
The important thing is that there were two tests that were exactly 40 years apart to the day.
It was a 40 year separation in hyperspace. Now, the Earth itself has a biorhythm that peaks on a 20 year
cycle on August 12th. It "just happened" to peak and provided the connecting link through the fields of the Earth for
the two experiments to lock up in hyperspace. Walk-in efforts are aided if they occur during this peak.
The ship was pulled into hyperspace. We were inside the ship and knew something was drastically
wrong with the test. We tried to shut it off but it wouldn't shut off. We ran out on deck and jumped over the side of the
ship. We jumped overboard but ended up in a time tunnel which ended at Montauk, Long Island on August 12th, 1983. At night.
We were found very quickly and taken down stairs, where Von Neumann greeted us. He expected us. It was a bit of a shock. We
had just been in 1943 and now we were in 1983 looking at Von Neumann as an old man. He said that there was a hyperspace lockup
and that we had to go back and shut off the generators on the ship or the hyperspace rift would keep increasing and possibly
engulf the planet. He had been waiting 40 years for us to arrive.
Montauk sent us back and we smashed the equipment with axes. The ship returned to its original
point in space and about three hours later in time. From 1943 on, Von Neumann didn't know what happened. He had modified earlier
equipment in 1943 to where he had a full blown time machine. The Germans also were working on time travel, and had it working
in 1945 just before the end of the war. This is all a matter of record.
After the Navy decided to shut down the project in 1943, Von Neumann was sent to work on the
atomic bomb project at Los Alamos until that was over. In 1947 there were major changes in the Department of Defense. Someone
in the new structure decided to dig up the Philadelphia project to see if they could find out what went wrong. They asked
Von Neumann to "take another look" at the project. He agreed.
There is another matter. Starting about August 6th, 1943, UFOs appeared over the Eldridge for
about six days. They were there during the test. One of the UFOs was sucked up into hyperspace with the Eldridge and it ended
up in an underground facility in Montauk in 1983. It contained a charging device which some aliens made
us go back and get for them, as they didn't want humans to have it. We don't know who they were. Pruett was concerned
about an alien invasion.
Also, Von Neumann was called by the government to come and assist in the examination of a crashed
UFO in 1947 at Aztec. Another crash occurred at Aztec about a year later. The first crash had greys on it and none survived.
At least one occupant survived the second crash. The radar systems unintentionally brought down the craft. Radar was used
intentionally after that until the aliens got wise to it. The occupant of the second crash was not a grey, and Von Neumann
got to talk with it. Von Neumann asked it what the answer to the invisibility problems could be. He learned that he had to
go back and do his homework in metaphysics. The nature of the problem was that the personnel on the ship were not locked to
the zerotime reference of the ship. Humans are normally locked to the point of conception as a time reference, not a zero-time
reference. The time stream lock allows the person to flow in synch with the system so interaction is possible.
Time locks are fragile. All the power of the project disrupted the time-locks of the people
on the deck on the ship. When the ship came back in time, the people didn't come back to the same reference.
Von Neumann realized that he needed a computer, as well as
some knowledge of metaphysics in order to be able to lock the time reference of the people to the time reference of the ship.
He built a computer in 1950 for the purpose. It was ready to be installed in 1952 and a test was performed in 1953 that was
successful. They didn't go floating off into space when it was over. At this point, the Navy canceled Project Rainbow and
changed the name to project Phoenix.
Alot came out of the negative effects of the Rainbow project. Some
of it led to mind control research programs in the Phoenix project. The invisibility research produced
some Stealth technology as well as other highly classified projects.
In 1983, they decided to apply mind control to all participants in these projects in an effort
to cover them up. They had also been working on another project: age regression. Now, Tesla had sought back in the 1940's
to develop equipment that could help the members of the crew after they lost time-lock . The government developed it into
the age regression program. It was physical age regression. A person retained the memory they had from the older age.
Tesla's theory was that if you took the individual's time-lock and moved it forward in time
than you would remove aging. That's what happened. It took between 30 and 60 days for the body to complete the change to the
new time reference.
Now, some of this turned up in the movie called the Philadelphia Experiment, which was released
in 1984. The government got an injunction which banned showing in the US for two years. It was overturned in 1986 and it was
out on tape. I saw the film in 1988, and it helped bring back some of my memory about this.
Any initial comments about electromagnetics?
Well, are a lot of interesting aspects. There is a explained by most theories. It is not magnetic
field only propagates at 0.4 of the electromagnetic field propagates at the speed electric field (according to Maxwells equations)
propagates at the rate of c-infinity, which means that it propagates throughout the universe instantaneously. If you understand
those basic relationships and how they interlock with higher order energies and fields, like soliton and tensor fields, then
you can understand how an antigravity drive will work. It is a fact that the unified field theory was completed by Einstein
and given to the US Government. They have it and they don't want anybody to know they have it. It was never released publicly
in any books. This kind of knowledge is used as a method of control between and for governments. It's unfortunate. The government
is supposed to be "for the people and by the people". That is what it says in the Constitution. I wonder when the last time
the president read the Constitution?
It seems like there are more people involved in secrecy than there are scientists. Where are
all these people?
There are government agents and agencies everywhere that are concerned with keeping things secret.
These days, the secrecy is applied more to the applications of hardware than the hardware itself. It's not like it was in
the 1950's. As an example, the guidance package for the new Minuteman X missle that was developed for the Air Force by Northrop
is unclassified. There was no classification on the circuitry and It was so accurate that it could take a missle and drop
it down a chimney stack. The applications was capable of was classified.
Isn't a lot of this left out in the open to distract what is really going on?
Of course.
What is the capacity of the gravity craft fleet of the United States?
I don't know. I know that they have built quite a number of them.
What are the capabilities of these craft?
Well, when our astronauts first landed on the moon in 1969 they were greeted by a fleet of disks
sitting on the rim of a crater. The astronauts asked their superiors if they knew about these disks. They were told "yes",
that they were American disks. The astronauts were angry at being used as public relations men by the government.
Why spend so much money on the Stealth bomber when they have had this gravity technology for
so many years?
Well, the aircraft combines two aspects for invisibility. One of the aspects relates to the
construction and coating applied to the surface. The other aspect relates to an electronic type of invisibility package which
is a result of work done on the Philadelphia experiment years ago. Also, the stealth has a secondary drive system which is
very advanced and allows it to fly in space. The assistant director of NASA admitted that this came straight out of alien
technology. He admitted this to the public.
He did?
Yes.
That's interesting in view of the government's apparent position with respect to covert technology.
There are breaks in the government secrecy programs that are starting to show up. More and more
people are getting totally disgusted with government activities and attitudes and they are beginning to talk.
Maybe it's a deliberate leak.
It could be deliberate. Even MJ-12 in 1984 was about to break some information to the public
about ET's and UFOs. They decided not to release it at that time. John Kennedy demanded that they release it within one year.
He also demanded that the CIA get out of the drug business. They assassinated him.
Have you found any resistance to what you have been coming out with?
No. The Navy keeps quiet, but I hear rumblings underground that they are definitely not pleased
about it. The so-called .. martyrdom clause" works in my favor. They know that I know why they can't touch me. If they do,
they know that there will be real problems in time and space because of it. There are two of us that are holding certain factors
in stability. If anything is done to either of us, there could be a rip in hyperspace. The whole reality system will shift.
I will give you one guess as to what it will most likely shift to: We won the second world war by a slim margin. German technology
was way ahead of us. If the war had gone on another 30 days the Germans would have won it. They had super weapons in production
which they were ready to use. They were so close to winning the war that Churchill and FDR were really worried about it. If
the system shifts, it could shift to a parallel reality where the Germans won the war.
That's why the government doesn't dare kill either of you?
Right. Because of what we were involved in, it might jeopardize our entire reality system.
Could you explain how a closed time loop works?
Well, one of the problems that has developed is that when you travel through time you cannot
come back to the exact point of origin. It has to be later than when you left. If you were to come back to the exact point
at which you took off you would be at the same point twice in your lifetime and there would be a very serious problem.
Would you refresh my memory about some of the dates involved with the development of electronic
mind control in the US?
The mind control experiments were moved to Montauk about 1969. The hardware phase of some of
the later experiments began about 1975; equipment to modify the SAGE transmitter was ordered about 1973.
ITT was the main contractor and sub-contracted portions of the contract out. Most of the contracts
were awarded to firms on Long Island.
So what did they actually prove that they could do when the experiments were over?
What they essentially proved they could do was that they could control a person that they had
the "signature" for. This pattern that was unique to an individual could be put into the computer program for the transmitter.
A second order wavelength would be transmitted that has a lower attenuation and affects that persons mind directly. There
could be a command to do anything focused at the person. Once a device was constructed that illustrated this principle on
a wide scale. A mental message was put out that if anybody heard the message they were to call a certain phone number. Over
600 calls came from all over the East coast all the way down to Florida. It works.
That's interesting. There's a fellow who calls himself Lord Mattreya who says that he is the
Christ returned to the planet; that when he links up with the international press he will send a telepathic message to the
entire planet in their own language and they will hear it. They also are supposed to receive a visual image. So.. they have
that technology?
Yes. There is not only an indivdual signature. There's a racial signature and also a universal
signal for the human race. The government has used all three to target specific individuals. They have also done group messages
targeted on a specific racial or ethnic group. That's common. In Boston and New York they were doing experiments on "mood
control" on the cities. Transmitters used no longer exist, but the technology does.
Do targeted individuals perceive what they are receiving as their own thought?
Yes.
Is there any defense against that?
Yes and no. Theoretically no. This is what the government depends on. Practically speaking,
they can't get everyone, because some people are naturally resistant, depending on their level of mental and psychic development.
Perhaps 5% of the population do not respond to these signals. If they get 95% coverage, they don't care about that 5%. That's
what they have the riot squads and the concentration camps for. There is no defense unless you can interfere with that signal.
Some people just don't react.
So they transmit a thought signal?
Not exactly. If you were put on an EEG, you would exhibit a certain pattern of electrical responses.
These can be recorded and they are unique to you. It can be recorded and stored and replicated on a computer. If they can
replicate your RNA/DNA pattern they've got you too - for life.
You mentioned about concentration camps?
Yes. They are all over the United States. There are three in Arizona alone.
So they can control us to the point where we'll just hand over our guns?
That's what they hope. It depends on how effective this equipment becomes, how thoroughly installed
it is everywhere, and whether or not people can ferret this stuff out and render it inoperative before that time arrives.
How about the idea of a conflict between moral conscience and what the mental command tells
you do to?
You don't have the option not to act as it says the way that equipment is set up - if you are
not aware enough to make a connection that it is not your thought. It does not negate choice, it just puts in a strong impluse
or command. Those people who responded by calling that number had no idea what went through their heads. Some of this does
require preconditioning to a response pattern.
Could they be doing this over the media, like television and radio?
Of course.
You're suggesting a state of absoulte corruption.
Absolutely correct. Planned corruption.
With this kind of technology, why do they need concentration camps?
Because there are always people that are resistant.
I would think that they would annihilate them, not lock them up. The first step is the camps,
where you can handle them easier, then you can eliminate them en masse. You don't go down the streets shooting everybody down.
Once you're in the camps, they break you down mentally. They're experts at that.
We think they're shipping guillotines in there for the people that don't comply. They're looking
for a slave labor force. That is what H.R. 4079 is about that's in Congress now. It creates a slave labor force in the prison
system, which will be privately owned. States will pay the private prison a fee in order to put their prisoner in there.
Yes.
What are some of the other projects that relate to the capacity of factions operating within
the United States Government and corporations to manipulate and control the population?
Well between 1977 and 1978 a project called Dreamscan came on line.
It ceased in 1979. The goal of the project was to gain the technical ability to enter into an individuals mind in the dream
state and cause his death. There was a movie called Dreamscape which showed what they discovered they could do. The
project was run by the Secret Government and managed by the NSA. The purpose of the project was to provide for a means of
covert assassination. President Carter found out about it and had it stopped. The hardware is still intact and in storage.
There have been attempts to put it back on line by various intelligence operations, some of which are said to involve AT&T
operatives.
What else?
Around 1987, a project called Moonscan started. It lasted into 1989 and involved positioning
mind control equipment on the moon for use on the population of earth. It, like the others, has clear connections to negative
alien activity.
Who ran that one?
It was managed by an organization called Airborne Instrument Laboratories (AIL), who have had
other covert projects under their wing. At the time, AIL was run by Eaton Corporation. It is now managed by the Department
of Defense as of 1988. There are three branches of AIL: Covert, Commercial, and Defense.
Any other mind control programs that you can mention?
There was a project called Mindwreaker that would allow paralysis of the mind. The aliens were
heavily involved with that project. it produced several neurological weapons, some of which are used on the B-1 bomber, which
also contains a lot of alien technology. At time, various alien species came and went out of AIL. There was one group called
the K-Group, which was short for the Kondrashkin. They had pale skin that had a slight greenish tint and almost no hair. They
looked human, and had to bleach their skin and wear wigs. They have been periodically involved with covert projects since
the 1940's.
Where has AIL been located?
In New York Stare, at Farmingdale, Deer Park and Long Island.
What is the current status of AIL?
Well.. there were eight projects ongoing at AIL that also had to do with the development of
weaponry against aliens. In 1989 the Orion group discovered this and destroyed the projects. It can only be assumed that AIL
still functions in other areas.
What other research goes on at Long Island?
Research on scalar weaponry, like the one that destroyed the Challenger.
I thought the Challenger was destroyed by the Soviets using scalar weapons?
No. The Soviets didn't do that. The oddity with the incidents as far as the Soviets were concerned
was that they pulled their ships about 150 miles out to sea before it happened. They were not the direct cause, which was
a scalar weapon that they were trying to put into orbit and test. It accumulated a charge while the Challenger was going up
through the atmosphere and turned itself on. That is what destroyed the Challenger. It might have been deliberate.
What was the ultimate power behind the Phoenix projects?
Ultimately, the whole thing is manipulated by the Orion group. The expectation was that they
could use mind control to take over the populace in the 1990's - no later than 1994 or 1995. They have also been doing genetic
work in which they alter a human sperm and ovum to the extent that all offspring will produce hybrids with new characteristics.
Humans will mate and create children with alien genetics. That's one step beyond the average abduction scenario. There are
other things happening with the human race.
Like what?
Since 1947, there have been components of the 6th race incarnating on the planet. The 5th race
was the Aryans. The 6th race humans are 100% telepathic - the secret government and the Orion group sees them as a threat.
They've been aware of it since 1942.
Wasn't there a movie about something like that years ago?
Yes. I don't remember the name, but it came out in 1982. In that film, there was a drug that
made babies that were 100% telepathic. This kind of thing has actually happened. There was a Canadian company that was producing
a drug which turned out to do just that. This was between 1946 and 1947. It was removed from the market immediately, although
its use continues privately. In the movie, the government had a way of using electromagnetics to explode a persons head to
get rid of them.
Sounds like something they mught have developed at Montauk.
It does, doesn't it?
What is the current situation with aliens?
Somewhat mixed and confused. There has been a lot going on all around the planet. In September
and October 1990 there was an alien group from some other dimension that was attempting to invade the planet. They took down
all the zero-time generators all over the country. The FAA was especially affected. The rogue group was stopped by another
species. For many years, some factions of the Orion group depended on a ring of alien satellites that would sustain life functions.
Those were wiped out in November 1990 by the same group.
So there are positive light forces out there that are seeking to balance these negative activities
by the Orion group?
Yes. I am not at liberty to tell you their identity.
Do you think that this group is related to those who flew over military nuclear silos and rendered
the warheads inoperative?
I don't know if they were involved, although I could ask. The nuclear charade is another thing
on a cultural level. The idea of nuclear war was eliminated a long long time ago by all major powers on Earth. The threat
of a nuclear winter and the fact that you can't detonate two nuclear devices too close together in time stops them from doing
it. I think a lot of people are aware that the same forces that control the United States today are the same forces that supported
the buildup of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union and arranged for WWII and Vietnam. The public has been lied to in so many
areas since the early 1930's that they don't know what's going on. Most people still think that the Congress and the President
run the country and that they have Constitutional rights.
How about some interesting technology spin-offs from the Philadelphia experiment?
Well, there are a lot of them in use by the CIA and the NSA, as well as other corporate and
government agencies. There is a portable unit that can render an individual invisible. The NSA is known to use those on a
fairly regular basis. There is also a UFO research based covert organization that is believed to have them?
And what would that be?
Well, its a super secret international organization that is funded by all major governments.
It performs research on aliens and alien technology, coverup operations, and also does espionage. The group is negatively
oriented and is considered to have no positive attributes in relation to other humans. It is called the International Aerospace
Alliance.
How does it fit into the hierarchy of command and control?
It's connected to MJ-12, which is believed to be headed by Kissinger at this time. It is also
connected to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President. AIL type units are also connected to the MJ group.
I have heard a tape of Robert Lazar, the EG & G scientist, and others who indicate that
the highest clearance level is ULTRA. Is that it?
There is also BLACK LEVEL clearance.
What is involved with those little implants that are spheres?
Those devices are about 3mm in size. They are called SBMCD's, or Spherical Biological Monitoring
and Control Devices. They represent an organically enhanced synaptid processor powered by a micro-positron flow that controls
or mimics the functions within the human nervous system with micro relays that duplicate brain operation or engram patterns.
What is the real story behind Wilhelm Reich?
Most people are familiar with Reichs brilliant work with bions, weather modification, cancer
biopathy and other devices. Reichs work has been of interest to the National security Agency for some time, and it involves
the fact that when a person is electronically maintained in a pre-orgastic state in their nervous system, gateways unto the
mind open up for mind control to take hold. It is his most secret work as far as applications are involved. Reichs contact
with alien species, his discoveries about life energy and cancer, and the mind control applications are some of the reasons
why he was killed. This knowledge was combined with other knowledge, some of it alien in nature, and integrated into the work
at Montauk and subsequent covert projects to subvert the people of the United States and the world under an Orion based system.
What are some of the ways they put people into this state?
Well, there are these devices. Every psychiatric facility has them. For a male, they attach
electrodes to five points on the body (you can guess what one of those points are) and turn the device on. It makes programming
an individual really easy. It is devious, but a lot more humane than the old electroshock therapy. The thing is, the device
is being used for control instead of in a way that might benefit the individual.
What about the Philadelphia Experiment as related to aliens?
The Philadelphia Experiment was not an alien operation, as such, but what was the set-up was
the date, August 12, 1943, because it had to be locked to the Phoenix project on August 12, 1983. The date was set by alien
influence in order to cause a 40-year hole in hyperspace through which large numbers of alien craft could enter this dimension.
It worked, but it didn't last long enough to give the aliens the maximum benefit of the scenario. The order for the date came
from a man in the White House who was directing certain aspects of the project.
This man was one of the K-group and headed what was called the Psi-corp. It was an alien intervention.
This was scheduled to be a main invasion from a different universe.
How about other types of aliens that were involved?
Most of the other alien groups around, including the ones that had their shipped sucked into
hyperspace, were observers of what was going on, not participants. Beyond the obvious fact that they were observing for themselves,
there is insufficient data to determine whether they were observing for anyone else.
What about the alien ship, again, that was trapped underground at Montauk?
I was part of the group that dismantled it. What is involved is that you have to find out how
everything goes together. You have to read their manuals... there were seven occupants of that ship; four of them would not
talk to us. Eventually, three of them did, and we learned their language and deciphered their manuals about the construction
and maintenance of the ship...
They weren't Greys?
No. They were about 6 foot 5 inches tall. They were essentially human in appearance. They had
dark leathery skin. They had no hair. Where they came from we were not sure. We don't even know why they were there, except
perhaps to observe the test on August 12, 1943. When the ship appeared in 1983 underground, we were initially concerned as
to whether this ship represented some sort of "point man" for an invasion of some kind.
Was there any weaponry aboard that craft?
Not that I remember. The ship had a lot of strange devices on it. We took a lot of stuff apart.
We took off part of the control panels, and communications equipment. We decided not to touch the main power plant because
we thought it might blow up if we fooled with it. We left the food processing units intact. The ships drive systems were removed.
A lot of the ship was stripped down right to the shell. It was left that way.
Why would they suspect an invasion?
Idon't know, except that there have been so many groups over the years trying to invade this
planet. One wonders why they want to bother with this mud ball and its backward technology.
John Lear suggests that the human race represents a gene pool.
That is one good possibility. Another one, and I get this from sources I can't reveal at this
moment, is that they are seeking certain rare earth elements they apparently can't find elsewhere.
Robert Lazar mentioned a book that contained the history of earth and that it said that humans
were referred to as ..containers for souls" and that souls could be traded in something like a barter system.
The aliens are doing it all the time.
They're trading in souls?
Yes. They were shuffling us around like we were cattle to them.
Property. What do you think of that concept as applied to humans?
Well, it is mentioned that several races consider humans in some ways similar to that. Whether
it is the bodies or the souls that are considered property, I don't know. It appears that they are concerned more with the
bodies, the genetics, and the capabilities of the human mind. The capabilities of the human mind are virtually unlimited.
That fascinates some species.
Those aliens that were on that ship. What became of them?
Out of the seven, four did not talk and three did talk to us. One of the group that did not
talk to us was evidently the captain of the ship. He eventually killed the three that did talk to us. The four remaining aliens
were put into "deep freeze" by the people who were running the underground at Montauk. I have no idea what they did with the
other three bodies.
What happened to the craft?
it's still there, as far as I know. It was a gold colored saucer about sixty feet in diameter.
It had a bulge on both the top and bottom.
In one of Linda Moulton Howe's books they had pictures of types of alien writing. Were you ever
able to determine the language they used?
The language they were using was apparently that of the Greys. The symbol that the Greys use
a lot is the same symbol that the Trilateral Commission uses.
How big is the underground at Montauk?
It's very large. It extends for miles, especially the 5th and 6th levels. Almost all of it was
constructed in the late 1920's or early 1930's. We talked to one of the men who was one of the contractors who built it. It
was built on government orders right after the depression started. It was built in six levels. They covered the top over with
earth. It's known locally as "the hill". Its a huge base. There may still be some use of it. Most of it is shut down. The
power has been on for two years now, single phase 220 volt. The elevator used ran on three-phase 440 volts, and that has not
been turned on, probably because they plugged all main openings and the elevator shaft with concrete.
How many different species of aliens are you aware of?
Well, the Greys were not part of Montauk. By agreement they never went there. There were groups
that were part of it, like a group who called themselves the Leverons. There were those there from Antares that were only
observers. They looked like humans. There were members of the Orion group there occasionally. The K-group had some connection
with the place, but I personally never saw any of them there. Lastly, there were the inhabitants of that ship that was captured.
The Orion Confederation includes a lot of groups, including the Leverons.
The Orion group is supposedly at war with a group called the Elohim. Would you say that is accurate?
Yes. This is happening. The Elohim group is a very old race, perhaps the oldest in the universe.
At least its the oldest we know of.
Is there any particular species that has the greatest control over humans?
The Orion group. They're the weasels in the background that manipulate everybody, including
the Greys. The Orion group includes the various reptilian species.
Was the zero-time generator from alien sources?
No. Tesla created the zero-time generator in the 1920's. It provided a very basic time reference
which is actually locked to the center of our galaxy. That's why they call it a zero time generator. Locking equipment to
that is the only way you can get some of these higher function generators to work.
The aliens use crystals quite a bit.
Yes. Crystals can store and modulate enormous amounts of energy. There was a crystal in the
alien ship that ended up at Montauk that was about 18 inches long. Other factions of the alien group appeared in one of the
side tunnels off the main time tunnel and captured several of us, and wouldn't let us go unless one of us went back and got
that crystal for them. We did. The problem was is that we were in the time tunnel too long, because the time references the
man I was with dissolved, and he began to age at the rate of about a day per hour. Within three days he was dead.
What are some of the ways the government became involved in time travel?
The Navy had the ability to use the time travel technology from about 1970 and developed full
operational capability in 1973. They did do an experiment where they tried to go back and kill the father of the man destined
to be the head of the new One-World government. They did kill his father, but it made no difference. They didn't understand
why it didn't work. Robert Lazar was voicing the concept that time is quantitized or compartmentalized and that you can't
change what has already happened in terms of the past.
Is the Navy tied in with the secret government?
Small elements in the Navy are, but the Navy in general is not.
So in the 1970's they were against what was going on and tried ways to stop it?
Yes. At Montauk we did succeed in changing the past, so I know it can be done, but it takes
enormous amounts of power and more than just a time machine, but I won't get into that.
So the person who will be the head of the One World government is walking around and has no
father?
Theoretically that is true.
How could this guy have come into existence?
That's a very good question. That's another one of the paradoxes of time.
Was this person already in existence before they went back and killed his father?
Yes. They assumed that he would disappear and cease to exist.
Do you know who this individual is?
No. Not by name.
Is the One World government interested in longevity? It seems like all these plans are on a
long term basis. It would also seem like it would take too long before those in control could really reap the benefits.
When you get to the level of the warped mentality of the world leaders that are controlled by
the Orion group, you don't really know what their goals are. They are totally dependent on a specific technology, including
time machines which are anchored in the 40 years time rift plus the extensions in the time matrix which goes another 20 years.
Time machines are based in the technology that had its origin here within that time period, and from what
I understand as of 2003 they will suddenly find that their time machines no longer function.
Why?
Because they were created on the basis of something which was basically artificial - the rift
in time. The function is based on the rift. Then its back to the drawing boards.
Have they constructed any concrete plans based on the rift that might disappear when the rift
does?
I don't know. I can't speak for the whole government.
Are any Orion based timetables involved in this?
Well, the Orions have their own ways of doing things.
Would they be dependent on this rift?
No, but the Greys are somewhat dependent on it, having used it to get here in large numbers.
The Orion group itself is not here in a large number.
They let others do the dirty work for them?
Yes.
Do you get any particular feeling what things are like within the secret government with respect
to the groups of aliens?
Well, they were panic stricken to get rid of the Greys. I don't know if they're that panic stricken
any more, because I understand that the Orions are essentially gone, except for the mop-up squad, which have their own life
support systems.
The general life support for the others was destroyed by another alien group in November 1990.
They could not exist here without electronic support from the ring of satellites they put up there ages ago. Almost all of
them packed up and left.
What is the nature of the electronic support?
They cannot stand the vibrations of this planet. The Greys like it because this planet is very
much like their own home planet.
How would all this relate to the idea that their is a planetoid coming into this system with
a bunch of reptilians on it. Would they bring their own electronic life support systems?
Yes. They can replace the satellites. They may well be back before long.
How do you view that scenario, where the planetoid full of Orion reptilians, or Draco, is coming
here?
Well, we monitored the signals coming from the planetoid. They were coming in at around 25MHZ
with twelve carriers spaced 50KHz apart. The Orion group reptilians have twelve chakras, maybe that has something to do with
it.
Then this could be the part of the electronic signal that might even be representative of their
electronic life sustenance matrix?
Yes.
It might well be necessary to set up transmitters of our own that would interfere with that
kind of electromagnetic emanation.
Yes.
How about the Orion genetics?
It's very similar to that of humans. For a long time they were hoping to crossbreed. It didn't
work properly. That was one of the side issues of the Montauk-Phoenix project, to find ways of crossbreeding. They never did
fully solve the problems.
So this is where the concept of twelfth density would come in?
Yes. Probably. What they were hoping to do if they succeeded in crossbreeding humans and Orions
was a silent invasion where they would take over humanity by crossbreeding and eliminate the humans they didn't want. At that
point, Orion souls would move into the crossbred bodies and it would be complete. They would not need electronic support systems
to survive here, which consists of 12 satellites.
So how does this affect the world government plans, now that the Orion group is temporarily
gone?
It changes the context of the system that backed up the One-World government.
They were backed up by and expected support from the Orion group. With the Orions out of the picture, they are on their own.
How about the Greys?
They're running around in circles. They are probably continuing with the genetic work and the
abductions but they are lacking all direction except that which they already had established.
There was a recent abduction of woman in Seattle on December 3, 1990 where there were beings
that looked human. They told them, however, that they weren't really human and allowed them to see their true form. It was
a variant reptilian species they had never seen before. They asked the abductees questions about their experiences with the
Greys. The woman got the impression that the reptilian humanoids thought that the Greys were going to far in their interactions
with humans and that they were looking into it. Any comment?
No data on that one.
Well, since they were looking into Grey excesses in behavior, they probably were an offshoot
group and not anything to do with the Draco.
They probably were an offshoot group. I have gotten the impression that not all the Orion Confederation
is evil. There is a group within the Orion Confederation that function as sort of overseers and they are apparently quite
upset about what these Greys are doing, but apparently there is not much they have been able to do about it. The basic heart
of the Orion Confederation that we have become familiar with is totally evil and self-centered.
They basically want to take over the Earth?
Yes. They want to take Earth because of their desire for the planet as a staging base. They
also desire the water and the minerals. There have only been partial success of their cross breeding program. A few hybrids
have survived. They essentially look human but have Orion genetics within them.
What's going on in Washington right now?
They are up to their eyeballs in problems. They consider the thing with Hussein in the Middle
East as the least of their concerns.
What are they concerned with?
They are concerned with AIDS and other, disease problems which are coming to earth from space.
There are currently two huge clouds of amoeba-like creatures over the polar regions of the earth. These have shown up periodically
over the last ten years. NASA is working on this. Every time they've been detected, all kinds of strange illnesses break out.
They don't how they can stay alive and be in outer space. They're very concerned about that. The AIDS situation is so far
advanced that it is considered to be a disaster.
How do you bounce that against the fact that AIDS was created at Fort Detrick, Maryland? Are
the aliens ultimately behind that as well?
I don't know. It's very possible. It originated on the orders of the World Health Organization.
I suppose you have to go back and see who was responsible for this diabolical plan within WHO to create a virus that would
destroy the human immune system. They found out that once it was released that it mutated like crazy and there is no way to
produce a vaccine for it. The government does have a way to cure it, but they do that on a pretty selective basis. The cure
involves electromagnetics. There are also other means that have been discovered, but the government doesn't want the outside
world to have it. Its part of the population reduction program.
Which is whose idea?
Apparently it was a decision reached by the secret government. The final decision was made in
the White House in 1972 on the basis of a meeting of world leaders under Nixon. A friend of mine got the notes from that.
He's now in prison, and he talked about it publicly in 1974. He said that they had the meeting and agreed that the planet
was overpopulated and that it had to be reduced. The decision was to reduce the population from 5 billion, which it was at
that time, to 1 billion by the year 2000. They were to use any and all means to do this. They believed that the earth could
only handle 1 billion inhabitants. Their problem was how to exterminate 80% of the world population in 30 years. They modified
the figure to be 2 billion by 2000, but the AIDS thing is going to take care of a good part of that for them. The latest figures
coming out of Washington indicate that Africa is now as good as doomed. In another ten years, 75% of Africa will be dead.
There have been recent figures to suggest that 92% of all babies born in Africa today have the
virus.
Yes. in India, the rate is 51%.
It seems extremely irresponsible for a government to create something that can take people and
do that to them.
Well, it was the "undesirables" that were given the virus first.
They should have known that this thing was going to get out of hand.
They didn't know that was going to happen. It was also figured that it would affect the young
set, those in their prime, most.
if they travel in time and know that geophysical changes will take care of a large part of the
world's population, why would they bother to do it? Especially because you have a bunch of 50 year old men having to wait
30 years.
I don't know. Obviously they didn't think.
Or it wasn't them who were ultimately responsible. The only ones who would have a long term
anything to gain would be aliens, so it further indicates that ultimately there are negative off-planet forces that are responsible.
The aliens know about the changes.
How did they spread the virus initially?
Through World Health Organization inoculations that were contaminated with the virus. The first
program was in black Africa in 1974 with the smallpox inoculations. They then went to Brazil and other Hispanic countries
and did it there. In 1978, they laced the gamma globulin for the Hepititus B vaccine because the homosexual population was
the greatest consumer. That's why it showed up first in the United States in the homosexual population and why it was claimed
to be a homosexual disease. Nothing could be further from the truth, but it was something the Evangelists took up quickly,
saying that AIDS was "Gods curse on the homosexual". People didn't worry about it who weren't gay. The people who planned
this didn't figure on the ability of the virus to mutate.
It must taken someone with a really stupid mentality to do this.
What kind of disturbances have appeared with each appearance of these amoeba-like clouds?
Respiratory disturbances. It's been detected in the New York area and on the west coast. Details
are scant, but they consider it a major problem. It affects the human system directly. It is also the mechanism behind the
influenza attacks in 1916 and 1917 that killed so many people.
It is possible that the ozone layer was deliberately affected in order to allow this influence
to come through?
I don't know. The greenhouse affect is taking hold because of it.
Is there any particular alien species whom it would benefit if the earth dried up and became
desert?
Yes. The reptilians species might be good candidates.
Where do the Greys come from originally?
From outside our time/space continuum. The government does not fully understand where that is,
since they don't trust a lot of their information about them.
Do the Pleiadians use the gravity amplifier to fold time and space?
No. They have a hyperspacial drive system. They don't do it in the same way. They use velocity
rather than folding.
Aren't they beneficial to humans?
They have not been invited to help. They are also sensitive to earth politics, galactic directives,
and their own policies. It comes down to the fact where you don't interfere when you're not asked. Even when you are asked,
there are limits to what you can do.
Can they be asked?
Well, in the case where you would have interference on a mass basis, like in response to the
Orion incursion, you're getting involved with the history of all humanity. We'll have to see.
I would think that the only hope would be to collectively raise the consciousness of the entire
planet.
Right. There are also other problems. The government worked out a deal with the Greys some time
ago and has some of their technology. Weapons have been developed. They now have a missle that has a minimum operational range
of I light year. We can hit any spacecraft well beyond the solar system.
I saw a brief on the news where the Star Wars technology is being turned around in space to
hit down asteroids. Will they in fact be used primarily as a planetary defense against alien incursion?
Yes. The directives out of Washington seem to point to the fact that the secret government wants
no aliens here at all interfering with their plans. They have not solved the problem with the Greys.
How do aliens refer to religious concepts?
As far as I know, none of them have any religion as such. They acknowledge a divine source in
the universe. The Greys refer to the universe as a mind.
What is your prognosis for the future of the human species?
It will survive.
Why was it mentioned at one time that 2011 was the last year that they could see anything tangible?
It was mentioned in the Mayan calendar that 2011-2013 was a barrier of some kind. Psychics have
said that there is a 'barrier around 2013 that they can't go through.
That doesn't mean there is nothing beyond that.
No. It's just blocked from view. Even to the time machines. There are a lot of people wondering
whether they are going to retain control over humanity beyond 2013.
There seems to be a quickening of consciousness right now as we are beginning to go into fourth
density.
Right. There seems to be some evidence of this.
Do you know where the current entrances to Montauk are?
No, but I know they're there. The last time two people went out there to look they were abducted.
They were knocked out electronically and taken underground to another facility where mental adjustments were made on them.
They were returned to the spot, but one of them was not returned exactly at the same time as the other. There was about a
2 second gap and the one that was already there saw it. They knew immediately that something was wrong. They were given a
warning. The underground system is still in operation. There are three entrances near AIL. They have three plants in the Farmingdale
area. Brookhaven National Laboratories have an entrance to the system. There is also a connection to the Newark ITT Corporation
building. From there a spur that goes to the ITT facility at Nutley. There is also a tunnel that goes from Newark to Wright
Patterson AFB.
Do they use Maglev trains in this tunnels?
Yes. There is a very extensive tunnel network under the United States. The interesting things
is that once you get past the coding system at the entrance elevators and get into the underground, nobody asks any questions.
They assume you are supposed to be there, unless you make it obvious that you are not by your actions or appearance.
Why do humans age?
There are two genes missing from the human chromosome. One of them controls the aging process,
so humans age. Because of this, when cells are duplicated in the body they are compared to the parent cell, not a master pattern
that would exist in the genes, so the duplicate is not exactly the same is time. So humans age gradually.
There has been some discussion of the biorhythm cycles of the planet. Could you explain that
again?
The cycles of humans are well known. It was not known until after 1983 after Montauk went down
that the earth has cycles. It was discovered by accident. After an analysis, it came out that there were four basic cycles
involved. These four cycles reach their maximum peak every 20 years. It's always on the 12th of August.
So the next peak will be in 2003?
Yes.
Do the biorhythm cycles of humans and those of the planet interlock'?
It is not known to interlock.
Have you seen the movie Milleneum? What can you say about the concepts portrayed there?
Yes. It was well done. It was an attempt to explain some disappearances. It's an intriguing
idea. Strangely enough, they didn't cover something that really happend in Denver around 1965. A jet was coming in on final
approach in daylight with no bad weather and vanished entirely from the radar screen. It was never found. No trace. Years
later, in Tucson, I met the son of a man who was vice president of United Airlines. I asked him about it. He said, "how did
you hear about that?". I said I read it in the newspapers and then it was hushed up. He said, .. you better believe it was".
I asked him if anyone knew what happened to it, and he said that they had no idea. There was no wreckage, nothing. There is
no way it could have happened like that.- but it did. The ideas in Millenium were more along the line of something they would
have developed in the Phoenix project.
Are there any tunnels under the Pyramids?
There is a tunnel under Giza. No one knows when it was constructed or how.
How about spacecraft or anything else like that?
An expedition was mounted as a result of data gathered back in the 1920's and 1930's about a
secret chamber under the pyramid. They built equipment in later years and went in down into the pyramid and found this metal
door 500 feet below the base of the pyramid. They found other doors. The doors used a sonic code. They found a room with over
30,000 recording disks and alien equipment. They made photos of the disks with IR film. The Egyptian government wouldn't allow
them to take any out. The disks were deciphered. They described the rise and fall of civilizations in outer space going back
more than 100,000 years. This group built this record room and then built the pyramid over it. There was no UFO, but a lot
of equipment was stored on three levels. They photographed over 2,700 record disks. According to an Air Force contact, these
disks are sitting in a safe at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico. They don't want the public to know the information.
How is the government involved in cattle mutilations?
Human scientists are involved with longevity studies using adrenalyn. They have developed altered
adrenlyn, and drugs called cordrazine, cortropinex, formazine, and hyronalix. All of them have an adrenalyn base. The only
way to get the large quantitites of adrenalyn is to get them from cattle. Some of the substances they develop affect psychic
development. Other drugs have physical restoration properties. Aliens use cattle for the biological materials as well. They
use the materials in their breeding program and for the construction of cloned individuals.
Do you know when the Federal Reserve is going to issue the new money?
I don't know. There have been several dates that have come and gone. When they do all the current
cash will be worthless.
The plan is to give a short notice date by which people will have to turn in their old money
for new. Of course, you will have to account for it, especially since it is now illegal for you to have $3,000 or more on
your person. It's coming.
Would you consider the secret government the Fourth Reich?
It's hard to say. My understanding of it is that the secret government is not connected with
the Nazis but with world bankers, old money and what's called the "black nobility". These were the blue-bloods of Europe.
They actually did have blue blood, and it was not hemoglobin based but copper based. They were semi-human. There are still
to this day, some animal species in South America that have copper based blood systems. There was a problem with hemophilia,
and not because of intermarrying. The problem was that they started to marry outside of the copper based blood system. Hemoglobin
and copper systems don't mix. That's where the laws against marrying commoners originated.
What about these synthetic humans?
Human cloning was developed at the University of Utah at Salt Lake City in 1977. They first
aired this on TV as part of a series. They had an alleged human clone on TV that they were interviewing. It didn't talk very
well. They showed the original human and the clone. The clone was not all that successful. It took 14 months to generate a
fully adult human clone in a tank. It was a two part series. The second part of the series never aired, for obvious reasons.
CIA sources have confirmed that it started at the University of Utah. The government has a facility for clones. The first
one was built in the Mount Hood area, about sixty miles east of Portland, Oregon. They have other facilities in other locations.
Locations must have stable geomagnetic fields and other special characteristics or the cloning process does not work properly.
They can replicate them faster now. They have clones of all the major government figures. This is partly for security reasons.
it also creates the situation that when someone falls out of favor, they clone the person and kill the original. This kind
of thing apparently happens with some frequency.
There have been allegations by some that Carter and Reagan were replaced.
Yes. I've heard that, but I have no information that says that it happened. Reagan looked a
bit funny after his assassination attempt, particularly after he came out of the hospital.
It's curious about the cloning facility in Portland. Were there not reports in the 1960's or
70's about people seeing a spitting image of Hitler there?
Yes. it is curious. There isn't any connection that we can establish, but anything is possible.
Hitler could have died as late as 1984. I have heard rumors that he was the top director of the Phoenix project, but those
rumors were not considered to have any merit by most people. Eichmann was apparently involved at one point until the Israelis
got him. A lot of top level Nazi scientists were involved. There was a man called Huntermann who was the associate director
of the project. We wondered if there was anybody above him. There was - a complete collection of pure Nazis at the top. The
Germans were also involved in work with the Greys and cloning processes.
Are they Nazis still running things?
Idon't know what interconnections they may have today. I have two friends who say opposite things.
one says that the Nazis are in charge and the other says that Jewish scientists are in charge. Other people say its MJ-12.
Take your pick. I think that they're all involved.
That's very interesting about the duality of the Germans and the Jews. Recently, we received
information that these two groups of entities are originally from one source out there somewhere, and that they were banned
to this planet to work out their differences. They have apparently always sought to destroy each other ... and they are still
doing it on many levels. Everyone else just has to stand by and put up with it, I guess. it just adds to the mess. Orientation
of both groups appears to be negatively oriented toward service to self instead of others. There have been things recently
said by abductees that indicate that they were taken to joint Nazi-Alien bases were they had swastikas on the walls. This
was within the last two years.
Do you remember the Reinhold-Schmidt story? He was a businessman who lived in New Jersey in
the 1950's. I finally got a copy of his book. He insisted that one time when he was driving home from work, something went
wrong with his car. He was approached by someone and was taken aboard a saucer. All the occupants were dressed in black clothing
and talked in German. To him it appeared like they might be Nazis. He wasn't sure but he thought they were. They picked him
up by agreement several times thereafter. He began talking about it and he had a visit from government agents who told him
to shut up. He insisted. He was picked up and put into treatment in a mental hospital for about four months. When he came
out he was a changed man. He died sometime later. Up until he went into the mental hospital, he was insistent on his story.
This was approximately 1956. I'm not sure. He was a prominent businessman. It was a sensational story at the time.
It's interesting that you should mention copper based blood before. Aren't the Nordics involved
with that?
Yes. Although Nordics are humanoid and externally almost identical to humans. There are subtle
differences in the Nordic alien physiology, and most of them are based on the living conditions that they have grown up in.
Their planets are extremely hot and dry, and have a low oxygen content in the atmosphere. They have a larger lung capacity
than humans and have a copper based blood in order to carry oxygen more efficiently. The eyes are protected by inner lids
and can allow them to see into the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. They have only 28 teeth, as they lack a back pair of
molars. Their heads are longer than humans. The brain case is about .2 mm thicker and the bone is harder. The brain is the
same as the human brain as far as structure and size is concerned, except for the midbrain area, where there are functions
that allow telepathic and telekinetic skills. It explains the psionic powers of the Nordics. They average about 2 meters in
height. Females about 1.7 meters. They have no sweat glands. The skin allows moisture to be drawn from the air as well as
moisture to penetrate. The heart beats at around 242 beats per minute, and the average blood pressure is 80 systolic and 40
diastolic. They have extremely dilated blood vessels. The heart is located where the human liver would be. The cartilage that
would protect a human heart extends down 3.5cm further in the Nordic in order to protect this structure. Blood cells are biconvex
in contrast to the concave cells of humans. Kidney type functions only allow about half the liquid consumed to be excreted.
The rest is evidently put back into the system. Urine is thick with minerals and appears in color and texture to freshly pumped
crude oil. Feces are dry pellets with all moisture removed. The adult Nordic can regulate the amount of adrenalyn in their
body. They have no pineal gland. Nordic females are capable of being impregnated at any time, but the males are capable of
impregnation about once a year. The period of incubation is three to five months.
What about the Sirians?
Well, we are finding out that they are seemingly involved in the Dark Side activities with abductees
along with the Greys and elements of the US military and intelligence forces. we are finding out that Reich programming is
currently being used as of December 1990 on abductees. This is a direct outgrowth of work at Montauk. The Sirians are usually
described as about 6 ½ feet tall, blond hair cut very short, and blue eyes that have a cat's eye vertical pupil. They're negatively
oriented. I have been working on a case where this 21 year old woman has had contact with them, the last time being in December
1990. The beings present were the short little helpers that the Greys use; the ones that wear hooded cloaks. There were Grey
clones, tall Greys, Sirians and US military personnel of some description. The woman had her breasts and other body parts
hooked up to some machine that maintained her in a pre-orgastic state while they used inculcation bars with red and blue lights
to aid in the programming. When she does something they don't like, they take her out of her body and stick her in this black
box, where there is terrible loneliness and isolation. She really broke down when she was describing that, saying that she
didn't want them to put her back in the box. They evidently told her that if she talked too much they were going to do that.
On the lighter side, she has also had contact with positive groups. There has been some discussion as to whether these negative
Sirians are part of the Kamagol II group that built the records chamber under Gizeh, but that has not been established. The
negative Sirians are considered part of the Orion group that is playing the domination/control game.
Is there some significance to the red and blue lights in the inculcation bar?
The lights on the bar are of special frequencies. Pulsing of these lights is often combined
with sonic patterns to virtually reprogram the mind of the individual. This kind of activity has been going on for tens of
thousands of years. Why do you think that the Orion based groups that control todays society use red and blue on police car
lights? Its very restimulative and many people have buried memories of programming sessions that have occurred through their
various lives. The result is fear and negative emotional response. It appears that during the last 40 years there have been
a lot of people that have been incarnating that were on one side or the other in Nazi Germany, and we are finding a lot of
abductees that have memories of the Greys during that period. Sometimes they find that they are dealing with the same exact
beings they dealt with in another lifetime. Of course, we know that abductions also follow multi-generational patterns. It
all ties together.
There have been some that have said that Hitler was connected into things in terms of the Aryan
race and ET's. What is the story behind that?
Well, Hitler spend a lot of time in libraries before his mother died, and he was convinced that
the white race was going to be squeezed out of existence in anoth&r 75 years. He decided that he was going to be the defender
of the Aryan race. This was back before World War One. He was also relating this to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of
Zion, where in the 24th protocol it says that the white race will be destroyed by genetic inter-marriage. He wanted to stop
the trend. He became interested in metaphysics. The Dark Side involvement began after a bout with peyote before World War
One and his involvement with the Thule Society, which was connected to Aleister Crowley and the Order of the Golden Dawn in
England. Hitler also adopted the idea of fighting the communists, because the communists were just about ready to take over
Germany. There were not Greys around in large numbers but they were there. The Germans were involved with alien technology.
They had one version with electromagnetic drive. They had jet aircraft in 1943. They had nuclear weapons but Hitler did not
use them. Mind control research was ongoing.
Getting back to present day, what do you think about the idea that the Saudi government is being
bankrupted by the US?
Well, the Rockefeller group sold the Saudis 30 year notes back in the 1960's. They are coming
due. The Saudis want to get out of the paperwork nightmare so they won't lose all their money. The Rockefeller banks were
going to declare bankruptcy, so the Saudis said they would pull all their investments out of the United States and collapse
the economy totally. The United States backed down and that is the reason why there is all that forgiveness of debt business
going on. It was done with Bushes authority. The Saudis were satisfied. Now the problem with Iraq arises. The Israelis have
refused to carry out the deals they have made about leaving the west bank area. Hussein is saying that if the United States
can convince Israel to do that for the Palestinians, then he will walk out of Kuwait. That will defuse the entire Middle East
situation. January 15th is the apparent deadline date. There are people in government that are crazier than Hussein. As of
early December 1990, a contract already exists with Flora Construction company to rebuild Kuwait, so its going to happen anyway.
Does Iraq have nuclear devices?
I'm not sure. They were stealing trigger devices for quite a while before the government found
out about it and started substituting non-functional ones. It's believed that they do. The Iraqis are also said to have devices
that had their origin in Nazi Germany, such as the air-fuel bomb, which will "turn the air to fire" and suffocate American
troops. There is a concern that he will also use chemical weapons. The United States used chemical weapons in Korea and Vietnam.
If Iraq uses them, the United States will respond with devastating force. It would be a good time for the secret government
to bring out their disks and impersonate alien species in an attempt to pacify the planet. When the United States wins the
conflict, it will produce potential problems for years.
It is seen as the only option. They could impose this in a pseudo-religious way in an attempt
to unify religious groups that are on "holy war" campaigns. Either way, presence of .. an apparently benevolent technology"
would cause a peaceful unification. Presence of "an apparent malevolent technology" would achieve the same thing, but with
a negative unification based on fear. There are again another aspects to the middle east scenarios. One aspect is that the
middle east represents an annoying delay to the secret government that has been caused by Iraq. This delay could affect certain
types of agenda. Another aspect is that since the US basically controls the planet, all this is a sham for the public - to
keep humans up tight, in fear, and at each others' throats it could be reflective of what is ultimately an Orion based agenda.
It is a matter of record that flying disks have been seen in all wars and conflicts.
How about the Congress? Are they aware of the alien and drug things that are going on?
Some of them are, but they are turning their heads because they want to collect their retirement.
They're just hoping the government will be solvent when they get to that point. There is no question that as we enter 1991,
many agendas will accelerate and many hands will be forced.
Are the men in black residents of Earth?
The group is an off-world one. They monitor conditions on the planet. They are not physical
beings, but they can become solid.
Do the black helicopters have anything to do with the MIB?
No. They are managed by the Army. It is a super secret group that have bases all over the United
States. They have one near Sedona. They have one in Connecticutt and in Newark, New Jersey. The helicopters have no markings
and are used for operations involving drug smuggling, mutilations and security for alien related operations and projects.
Obviously, it's all illegal as hell, and they have been getting away with it for 40 years.
What about the subliminal programming that happens with television?
The FCC "ruled" years ago that it was illegal, but it never stopped. You find it more common
on cable tv. There are using subliminal conditioning on all cable networks. They use it to emphasize different elements of
what you are seeing around you. People end up being brainwashed and stay ignorant.
What are some of the capabilities they have?
The government has vans that drive around that are capable of complete mind disruption. They
have used it before to kill a man in his house in fifteen minutes. All it takes is four helicopters flying in tandem to completely
mentally wreck a city if they have those pods on them. The pods are an outgrowth of the Phoenix project. They, can produce
heavy mood control over a city. They are going into areas beyond the electromagnetic. They are trying to increase the,stress
level in the population. It is no secret that Bechtel was laying cables under major metropolitan areas several years-ago,claiming
that it was being laid for others" whom they wouldn't reveal. It had nothing to do with electric, telephone or cable TV.
What is another possibility as to why the death of the father of the One World government failed
to produce the dematerialization of the future leader of the One World government?
This seeming paradox can be better explained this way: The people who went back and tried to
kill the father were successful but the son still lived. This is all related to the Grandfather Paradox. The truth of the
matter is that they prevented the birth of the leader of the One World government not in the time stream where the existing
person was born but in a parallel one where he never existed in the first place. It existed before and after the effort to
kill the father; the parallel time stream also exists where the Germans overtly won the second world war. There are differing
but parallel interrelated worlds and universes, each having an endless number of streams relating to individual entities.
These streams are ultimately expressed as different patterns and outcomes for the same entity depending on the level of expression
for the entity at any one time. All divergent entities are part of the one reality which is the all embracing unity. The varied
potential tracks all exist as one unified central force. The parallel tracks that exist in our universe, depending upon which
one of them is taken, will determine the ultimate outcome for the individual entity, and this can change.
What is the actual nature and purpose of the Orion group?
Basically, the purpose of the Orion group is enslavement and conquest. Their objective is to
locate certain individuals who vibrate in resonance with their own vibrational complex and manipulate them. There is a concept
called spiritual entropy which apparently causes them to experience constant disintegration of their social memory complexes.
They do follow the Law of One but observe free will according to service to self. Those on the enslaved planet then disseminate
the attitudes and philosophy which is service to self. These individuals become the "elite". Through the elite, the attempt
begins to create a condition whereby the remainder of the planetary entities are enslaved by their free will.
That seems like what is happening on the planet right now, especially in the United States.
Yes.
Why don't they just come down in force instead of using the back door, as it were?
Well, they could. A mass landing would create a loss of polarization due to the infringement
on the free will of the planet. If the planet were then conquered and became part of the Empire, the free will would then
be reestablished. The way they are doing it is characteristic of the Orion group - to have others do their dirty work for
them, including humans. That way, the abridgement of free will is not so obvious. It didn't help the situation when agreements
were made with different alien species. It didn't matter that the agreements were made with groupings of humans that did not
represent the wishes of the mass consciousness. The technical fact of the agreement allowed a lot of action that was negatively
polarized. The Orion group specifically targets civilizations before they become a social memory complex.
What does it mean to have a society with a social memory?
Well, a social complex consisting of individual entities becomes a social memory complex when
it adopts one orientation or seeking in a specific direction. When this happens, the group memory that was not available to
individuals becomes known. The advantage of a social memory complex is the relative lack of distortion.
What does polarization mean for an individual entity?
Generally, entities can have little or no polarization, positive polarization or negative polarization.
A positively polarized entity will select a path embodying service to others. An entity choosing negative polarization would
focus on service to self. A negative polarization involves the elements of control and repression. For example, a negatively
polarized entity would seek separation from and control over others by sexual means and have the idea of power as an end.
The negatively oriented entity will program for maximum separation from and control over all entities which it perceives as
being other than itself.
Are not all humans, for example, expressions of each other?
Well, yes. Entities will eventually realize that their actions on other selves are actually
being done to themselves, since the consciousness present in each entity is a variation on the same thing. The individuation
is present to allow maximum differentiation of potentiality and creation.
Many people have been discussing the idea that we are going into fourth density. What does that
mean?
Basically another general vibratory rate. It also relates to the realization that one is not
separate from the creator. It is that kind of spectrum which has been called by the Christians as the "second coming". The
second coming is a state of being, not an individual arriving and establishing a power hierarchy.
When will this be completed?
Well, entities on this planet should make the attempt to polarize in terms of what excites them
no later than 1993, or it will be harder to do so. Polarization can be positive or negative. Generally, the fourth density
is much more full of life. Entities must still care for their physical vehicles. It is also a density where compassion, understanding
and love are more predominant. Full conversion to fourth density will occur between 2003 and 2013.
Its interesting that according to the mathematics behind the I Ching, everything goes jackpot
around 2012.
Yes. Nothing will be the same on Earth. It is changing right now. What we are seeing is basically
the death of the third density way of life.
Does density level refer to polarization?
An entity can be negatively polarized and in fourth density, but it is an intense struggle because
of the development of telepathic functions. If there is a place in which fourth density negative entities have established
a power structure, then there is more use of the concept of mind control in order to keep the negative structure from conversion
to positive orientation.
What about the upcoming geological changes? How does that relate to all of this?
The fourth density is a vibrational spectrum. The time/space continuum has put Earth and that
star system into that type of vibration. This causes electromagnetic realignments within the body of the planet. The energies
and collective thoughtforms of the population also disturb the energy patterns of the planet. Geological changes accompany
transition between densities. At this point we are in the last 20 years at the end of a cycle which has lasted 75,000 years.
Anything more about fourth density?
The majority of the Orion group are of fourth density. Some are positively oriented toward service
to others, but most that are concerned with the current situation are negatively polarized and playing the domination game.
Entities on Earth following any religion or no religion at all will move into fourth density if they are that vibration. Entities
not at fourth density vibration will remain at third density vibration and will move to other locations to continue third
density life until their vibrational level increases and polarizes in time with a cycle of density movement. The polarization
can be positive or negative.
How does the idea of a higher self relate to densities?
In terms of an entity perceiving through as linear time structure, the higher self exists in
sixth density and functions in the entites "future". One interesting aspect of it is that the entity who is perceiving the
higher self manifestation is actually a thoughtform materialized by the "higher self" itself. Entities in these terms are
actually a complex composed of what they perceive to be mind", "body", and "spirit". These complexes can occur within single
entities or groups, depending on the specific space/time conditions. The higher self is that self which exists with full understanding
of the accumulation of experiences of that entity. At one point, the entity perceives a lower self and a higher self. They
are not actually there "simultaneously"; functions of the higher self interact from a position in development which equates
to the linear "future" of the entity, as perceived by an entity in this state. Obviously, cultural conditioning encourages
development of impotent states of mind where the "lower self" is in control and the "higher self" is reached very little or
totally ignored. There is no synthesis that will permit the energy of the intelligent matrix to flow correctly.
How are the cultural states of mind organized? How do they fill the needs of the Orion group
and the Brotherhood?
Well, start with the prime factor of body identification. The society promotes the concept of
"you are your body", which results in fear, especially fear of "death", which is tied in with the idea of physical pain. Combine
this with religious doctrine and various cultural ideologies, and you have a very fertile ground for manipulation. There is
also promotion of identification with the personality and ego. The ego is culturally conditioned to a reactionary state which
is encouraged by media and literature to focus on the elements of security, sensation and power. Under these circumstances,
individuals are basically disempowered and blind. In terms of cultural activity, individuals are put in a position where they
spend most of their time dealing with "self preservation", "self-gratification", and "self-definition". These functions are
basically left hemisphere related. The ego structure often becomes fragmented into "partial selves", making the problem even
worse. What is missing is the love of truth, life, and the creator that we are all a part of. The idea is to transform "self-preservation"
into right action, .. self-gratification" into right feeling, and "self-definition" into right thought. This is not probable
in the Orion based culture in which we reside if the missing elements are not introduced. What will help to introduce it is
the quickening of the vibrational resonance as we move into the fourth density, and what we are seeing around us is the desperation
of the negative forces as they grapple for position and control. The alien agendas are beyond secret government manipulation,
and at this time they are very worried. That is why the mind control technology has been developed and implemented - to make
sure that they can try and preserve control over the population.
Thanks to the publication "The Sovereign Scribe", we are following this section with some interviews
with Al Bielek and Preston Nichols; the material relates very well to the data that you have just read. It features some interesting
data about the alleged United States ventures on Mars and more data about the Delta-T antennas. Enjoy!

SOPHIA OF WISDOM III - ANGELS & DEMONS 8
A particle accelerator (or atom smasher[1]) is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically-charged particles to high speeds and to contain them. An ordinary CRT television set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators.
This page describes types of particle accelerators. For a list of existing and historic particle accelerators see: List of accelerators in particle physics.
Uses of particle accelerators
Beams of high-energy particles are useful for both fundamental and applied research in the sciences. For the most basic
inquiries into the dynamics and structure of matter, space, and time, physicists seek the simplest kinds of interactions at
the highest possible energies. These typically entail particle energies of many GeV, and the interactions of the simplest kinds of particles: leptons (e.g. electrons and positrons) and quarks for the matter, or photons and gluons for the field quanta. Since isolated quarks are experimentally unavailable due to color confinement, the simplest available experiments involve the interactions of, first, leptons with each other, and second, of leptons with
nucleons, which are composed of quarks and gluons. To study the collisions of quarks with each other, we resort to collisions of nucleons,
which at high energy may be usefully considered as essentially 2-body interactions of the quarks and gluons of which they are composed. Thus elementary particle physicists tend to use machines creating beams
of electrons, positrons, protons, and anti-protons, interacting with each other or with the simplest nuclei (eg, hydrogen or deuterium) at the highest possible energies, generally hundreds of GeV or more.
At a higher level of complexity, nuclear physicists and cosmologists may use beams of bare atomic nuclei, stripped of electrons, to investigate the structure, interactions, and properties of the nuclei themselves, and of condensed matter at extremely high temperatures and densities, such as might have occurred in the first moments of the Big Bang. These investigations often involve collisions of heavy nuclei--of atoms like iron or gold--at energies of several GeV per
nucleon. At lower energies, beams of accelerated nuclei are also used in medicine, as for the treatment of cancer.
Besides being of fundamental interest, high energy electrons may be coaxed into emitting extremely bright and coherent
beams of high energy photons--ultraviolet and X ray--via synchrotron radiation, which photons have numerous uses in the study of atomic structure, chemistry, condensed matter physics, biology, and technology.
Examples include the ESRF in Europe, which has recently been used to extract detailed three - dimensional images of insects trapped in amber [2] Thus there is a great demand for electron accelerators of moderate (GeV) energy and high intensity.
High-energy machines
Beam lines leading from the Van de Graaf accelerator to various experiments, in the basement of the Jussieu Campus in Paris
Linear high-energy accelerators use a linear array of plates (or drift tubes) to which an alternating high-energy field
is applied. As the particles approach a plate they are accelerated towards it by an opposite polarity charge applied to the
plate. As they pass through a hole in the plate, the polarity is switched so that the plate now repels them and they are now
accelerated by it towards the next plate. Normally a stream of "bunches" of particles are accelerated, so a carefully controlled
AC voltage is applied to each plate to continuously repeat this process for each bunch.
As the particles approach the speed of light the switching rate of the electric fields becomes so high that they operate
at microwave frequencies, and so RF cavity resonators are used in higher energy machines instead of simple plates.
DC accelerator types capable of accelerating particles to speeds sufficient to cause nuclear reactions are Cockcroft-Walton generators or voltage multipliers, which convert AC to high voltage DC, or Van de Graaff generators that use static electricity carried by belts.
The largest and most powerful particle accelerators, such as the RHIC, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) (scheduled to start operation in 2008) and the Tevatron, are used for experimental particle physics. Particle accelerators can also produce proton beams, which can produce "proton-heavy" medical or research isotopes as opposed to the "neutron-heavy" ones made in fission reactors. An example of this type of machine is LANSCE at Los Alamos.
Low-energy machines
Everyday examples of particle accelerators are those found in television sets and X-ray generators. Low-energy accelerators such as cathode ray tubes and X-ray generators use a single pair of electrodes with a DC voltage of a few thousand volts between them. In an X-ray generator, the target itself is one of the electrodes. A low-energy
particle accelerator called an ion implanter is used in the manufacture of integrated circuits.
Linear particle accelerators
-
In a linear accelerator (linac), particles are accelerated in a straight line with a target of interest at one end. Linacs
are very widely used - every cathode ray tube contains one. They are also used to provide an initial low-energy kick to particles before they are injected into circular
accelerators. The longest linac in the world is the Stanford Linear Accelerator, SLAC, which is 3 km (2 miles) long. SLAC is an electron-positron collider.
The now disused Koffler particle accelerator at the Weitzmann Institute, one of Israel's most accomplished institutions of higher learning in the sciences.
Linear accelerators are also widely used in medicine, for radiotherapy and radiosurgery. Medical grade LINACs accelerate electrons using a klystron and a complex bending magnet arrangement which produces a beam of 6-30 million electron-volt (MeV) energy. The electrons can be used directly or they can be collided with a target to produce a beam of X-rays. The reliability, flexibility and accuracy of the radiation beam produced has largely supplanted the older use of Cobalt-60 therapy as a treatment tool.
Tandem electrostatic accelerators
In a tandem accelerator, the negatively charged ion gains energy by attraction to the very high positive voltage at the
geometric centre of the pressure vessel. When it arrives at the centre region known as the high voltage terminal, some electrons
are stripped from the ion. The ion then becomes positive and accelerated away by the high positive voltage. Thus, this type
of accelerator is called a 'tandem' accelerator. The accelerator has two stages of acceleration, first pulling and then pushing
the charged particles. An example of a tandem accelerator is ANTARES (Australian National Tandem Accelerator for Applied Research).
Circular or cyclic accelerators
In the circular accelerator, particles move in a circle until they reach sufficient energy. The particle track is typically
bent into a circle using electromagnets. The advantage of circular accelerators over linear accelerators (linacs) is that the ring topology allows continuous
acceleration, as the particle can transit indefinitely. Another advantage is that a circular accelerator is relatively smaller
than a linear accelerator of comparable power (i.e. a linac would have to be extremely long to have the equivalent power of
a circular accelerator).
Depending on the energy and the particle being accelerated, circular accelerators suffer a disadvantage in that the particles
emit synchrotron radiation. When any charged particle is accelerated, it emits electromagnetic radiation and secondary emissions. As a particle traveling in a circle is always accelerating towards the center of the circle, it continuously radiates towards
the tangent of the circle. This radiation is called synchrotron light and depends highly on the mass of the accelerating particle. For this reason, many high energy electron accelerators are
linacs. Certain accelerators (synchrotrons) are however built specially for producing synchrotron light (X-rays).
Since the special theory of relativity requires that matter always travels slower than the speed of light in a vacuum, in high-energy accelerators, as the energy increases the particle speed approaches the speed of light as a limit, never
quite attained. Therefore particle physicists do not generally think in terms of speed, but rather in terms of a particle's
energy or momentum, usually measured in electron volts (eV). An important principle for circular accelerators, and particle beams in general, is that the curvature of the particle trajectory is proportional to the particle charge and to the magnetic field, but inversely proportional to
the (typically relativistic) momentum.
Cyclotrons
The earliest circular accelerators were cyclotrons, invented in 1929 by Ernest O. Lawrence at the University of California, Berkeley. Cyclotrons have a single pair of hollow 'D'-shaped plates to accelerate the particles and a single large dipole magnet to bend their path into a circular orbit. It is a characteristic property of charged particles in a uniform and constant
magnetic field B that they orbit with a constant period, at a frequency called the cyclotron frequency, so long as their speed is small compared to the speed of light c. This means that the accelerating D's of a cyclotron can
be driven at a constant frequency by a radio frequency (RF) accelerating power source, as the beam spirals outwards continuously.
The particles are injected in the centre of the magnet and are extracted at the outer edge at their maximum energy.
Cyclotrons reach an energy limit because of relativistic effects whereby the particles effectively become more massive, so that their cyclotron frequency drops out of synch with the accelerating
RF. Therefore simple cyclotrons can accelerate protons only to an energy of around 15 million electron volts (15 MeV, corresponding
to a speed of roughly 10% of c), because the protons get out of phase with the driving electric field. If accelerated further,
the beam would continue to spiral outward to a larger radius but the particles would no longer gain enough speed to complete
the larger circle in step with the accelerating RF. Cyclotrons are nevertheless still useful for lower energy applications
Synchrocyclotrons and isochronous cyclotrons
-
There are ways of modifying the classic cyclotron to increase the energy limit. This may be done in a continuous beam,
constant frequency, machine by shaping the magnet poles so to increase magnetic field with radius. Then higher energy particles
travel a shorter distance in each orbit than they otherwise would, and can remain in phase with the accelerating field. Such
machines are called isochronous cyclotrons. Their advantage is that they can deliver continuous beams of higher average intensity,
which is useful for some applications. The main disadvantages are the size and cost of the large magnet needed, and the difficulty
in achieving the higher field required at the outer edge.
Another possibility, the synchrocyclotron, accelerates the particles in bunches, in a constant B field, but reduces the
RF accelerating field's frequency so as to keep the particles in step as they spiral outward. This approach suffers from low
average beam intensity due to the bunching, and again from the need for a huge magnet of large radius and constant field over
the larger orbit demanded by high energy.
Betatrons
-
Another type of circular accelerator, invented in 1940 for accelerating electrons, is the Betatron. These machines, like synchrotrons, use a donut-shaped ring magnet (see below) with a cyclically increasing B field, but
accelerate the particles by induction from the increasing magnetic field, as if they were the secondary winding in a transformer,
due to the changing magnetic flux through the orbit. Achieving constant orbital radius while supplying the proper accelerating
electric field requires that the magnetic flux linking the orbit be somewhat independent of the magnetic field on the orbit,
bending the particles into a constant radius curve. These machines have in practice been limited by the large radiative losses
suffered by the electrons moving at nearly the speed of light in a relatively small radius orbit.
Synchrotrons
-
Main article: Synchrotron
To reach still higher energies, with relativistic mass approaching or exceeding the rest mass of the particles (for protons,
billions of electron volts GeV), it is necessary to use a synchrotron. This is an accelerator in which the particles are accelerated in a ring of constant radius. An immediate advantage over
cyclotrons is that the magnetic field need only be present over the actual region of the particle orbits, which is very much
narrower than the diameter of the ring. (The largest cyclotron built in the US had a 184 in dia magnet pole, whereas the diameter
of the LEP and LHC is nearly 10 km. The aperture of the beam of the latter was of the order of centimeters.)
However, since the particle momentum increases during acceleration, it is necessary to turn up the magnetic field B in
proportion to maintain constant curvature of the orbit. In consequence synchrotrons cannot accelerate particles continuously,
as cyclotrons can, but must operate cyclically, supplying particles in bunches, which are delivered to a target or an external
beam in beam "spills" typically every few seconds. Note that since high energy synchrotrons do most of their work on particles
that are already traveling at nearly the speed of light c, the time to complete one orbit of the ring is nearly constant,
as is the frequency of the RF power needed to drive the acceleration.
Note also a further point about modern synchrotrons: because the beam aperture is small and the magnetic field does not
cover the entire area of the particle orbit as it does for a cyclotron, several necessary functions can be separated. Instead
of one huge magnet, one has a line of hundreds of bending magnets, enclosing (or enclosed by) vacuum connecting pipes. The
focusing of the beam is handled independently by specialized quadrupole magnets, while the acceleration itself is accomplished in separate RF sections, rather similar to short linear accelerators. Also,
there is no necessity that cyclic machines be circular, but rather the beam pipe may have straight sections between magnets
where beams may collide. be cooled, etc.
Aerial photo of the Tevatron at Fermilab. The main accelerator is the ring above; the one below (about one-third the diameter, despite appearances) is for preliminary
acceleration, beam cooling and storage, etc.
More complex modern synchrotrons such as the Tevatron, LEP, and LHC (still under construction) may deliver the particle bunches into storage rings of magnets with constant B, where they can continue to orbit for long periods for experimentation or further acceleration.
The highest-energy machines such as the Tevatron and LHC are actually accelerator complexes, with a cascade of specialized
elements in series, including linear accelerators for initial beam creation, one or more low energy synchrotrons to reach
intermediate energy, storage rings where beams can be accumulated or "cooled" (reducing the magnet aperture required and permitting
tighter focusing; see beam cooling), and a last large ring for final acceleration and experimentation.
Electron synchrotrons
Segment of an electron synchrotron at DESY
Circular electron accelerators fell somewhat out of favor for particle physics around the time that SLAC was constructed, because their synchrotron losses were considered economically prohibitive and because their beam intensity
was lower than for the unpulsed linear machines. The Cornell Electron Synchrotron, built at low cost in the late 1960s, was
the first in a series of high-energy circular electron accelerators built for fundamental particle physics, culminating in
the LEP at CERN.
A large number of electron synchrotrons have been built in the past two decades, specialized to be synchrotron light sources,
of ultraviolet light and X rays; see below.
Storage rings
-
Main article: Storage ring
For some applications, it is useful to store beams of high energy particles for some time (with modern high vacuum technology, up to many hours) without further acceleration. This is especially true for colliding beam accelerators, in which two beams moving in opposite directions are made to collide with each other, with a large gain in effective collision
energy. Because relatively few collisions occur at each pass through the intersection point of the two beams, it is customary
to first accelerate the beams to the desired energy, and then store them in storage rings, which are essentially synchrotron
rings of magnets, with no significant RF power for acceleration.
Synchrotron radiation sources
Some circular accelerators have been built to deliberately generate radiation (called synchrotron light) as X-rays also called synchrotron radiation, for example the Diamond Light Source being built at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in England or the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, USA. High-energy X-rays are useful for X-ray spectroscopy of proteins or X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) for example.
Synchrotron radiation is more powerfully emitted by lighter particles, so these accelerators are invariably electron accelerators. Synchrotron radiation allows for better imaging as researched and developed at SLAC's SPEAR.
History
-
Lawrence's first cyclotron was a mere 4 inches (100 mm) in diameter. Later he built a machine with a 60 in dia pole face,
and planned one with a 184-inch dia, which was, however, taken over for WWII-related work connected with uranium isotope separation; after the war it continued in service for research and medicine over many years.
The first large proton synchrotron was the Cosmotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory, which accelerated protons to about 3 GeV. The Bevatron at Berkeley, completed in 1954, was specifically designed to accelerate protons to sufficient energy to create anti-protons,
and verify the particle-antiparticle symmetry of nature, then only strongly suspected. The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven was the first large synchrotron with alternating gradient, "strong focusing" magnets, which greatly reduced the required aperture of the beam, and correspondingly the size and cost of the bending magnets.
The Proton Synchrotron, built at CERN, was the first major European particle accelerator and generally similar to the AGS.
The Fermilab Tevatron has a ring with a beam path of 4 miles (6 km). The largest circular accelerator ever built was the LEP synchrotron at CERN with a circumference 26.6 kilometers, which was an electron/positron collider. It has been dismantled and the underground tunnel is being reused for a proton/antiproton collider called the LHC, due to start operation in at the end of July 2008. The aborted Superconducting Supercollider (SSC) in Texas would have had a circumference of 87 km. Construction was started in 1991, but abandoned in 1993. Very large circular accelerators are invariably built in underground tunnels a few metres wide to minimize the disruption
and cost of building such a structure on the surface, and to provide shielding against intense secondary radiations that may
occur. These are extremely penetrating at high energies.
Current accelerators such as the Spallation Neutron Source, incorporate superconducting cryomodules. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and upcoming Large Hadron Collider also make use of superconducting magnets and RF cavity resonators to accelerate particles.
Targets and detectors
The output of a particle accelerator can generally be directed towards multiple lines of experiments, one at a given time,
by means of a deviating electromagnet. This makes it possible to operate multiple experiments without needing to move things around or shutting down the entire
accelerator beam. Except for synchrotron radiation sources, the purpose of an accelerator is to generate high-energy particles
for interaction with matter.
This is usually a fixed target, such as the phosphor coating on the back of the screen in the case of a television tube; a piece of uranium in an accelerator designed as a neutron source; or a tungsten target for an X-ray generator. In a linac, the target is simply
fitted to the end of the accelerator. The particle track in a cyclotron is a spiral outwards from the centre of the circular
machine, so the accelerated particles emerge from a fixed point as for a linear accelerator.
For synchrotrons, the situation is more complex. Particles are accelerated to the desired energy. Then, a fast acting dipole
magnet is used to switch the particles out of the circular synchrotron tube and towards the target.
A variation commonly used for particle physics research is a collider, also called a storage ring collider. Two circular synchrotrons are built in close proximity - usually on top of each
other and using the same magnets (which are then of more complicated design to accommodate both beam tubes). Bunches of particles
travel in opposite directions around the two accelerators and collide at intersections between them. This can increase the
energy enormously; whereas in a fixed-target experiment the energy available to produce new particles is proportional to the
square root of the beam energy, in a collider the available energy is linear.
Higher energies
At present the highest energy accelerators are all circular colliders, but it is likely that limits have been reached in
respect of compensating for synchrotron radiation losses for electron accelerators, and the next generation will probably
be linear accelerators 10 times the current length. An example of such a next generation electron accelerator is the 40 km
long International Linear Collider, due to be constructed between 2015-2020.
As of 2005, it is believed that plasma wakefield acceleration in the form of electron-beam 'afterburners' and standalone laser pulsers will provide dramatic increases in efficiency within
two to three decades. In plasma wakefield accelerators, the beam cavity is filled with a plasma (rather than vacuum). A short
pulse of electrons or laser light either constitutes or immediately trails the particles that are being accelerated. The pulse
disrupts the plasma, causing the charged particles in the plasma to integrate into and move toward the rear of the bunch of
particles that are being accelerated. This process transfers energy to the particle bunch, accelerating it further, and continues
as long as the pulse is coherent.[3]
Energy gradients as steep as 200 GeV/m have been achieved over millimeter-scale distances using laser pulsers[4] and gradients approaching 1 GeV/m are being produced on the multi-centimeter-scale with electron-beam systems, in contrast
to a limit of about 0.1 GeV/m for radio-frequency acceleration alone. Existing electron accelerators such as SLAC could use electron-beam afterburners to greatly increase the energy of their particle beams, at the cost of beam intensity.
Electron systems in general can provide tightly collimated, reliable beams; laser systems may offer more power and compactness.
Thus, plasma wakefield accelerators could be used — if technical issues can be resolved — to both increase the
maximum energy of the largest accelerators and to bring high energies into university laboratories and medical centres.
Black hole production
In the future, the possibility of black hole (BH) production at the highest energy accelerators may arise, if certain predictions of superstring theory are accurate.[5][6] These concerns have been particularly acute recently in connection with the LHC, which will begin operation in 2008.
If they are produced, it is thought that black holes would evaporate extremely quickly via Bekenstein-Hawking radiation. However, the existence of the Bekenstein-Hawking radiation is controversial.[7] It is also thought that an analogy between colliders and cosmic rays demonstrates collider safety. If colliders can
produce black holes, cosmic rays (and particularly ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, UHECRs) should have been producing them for eons, and they have yet to harm us.[8] However, to conserve energy and momentum, any BHs created in a collision between an UHECR and local matter would itself
necessarily be produced moving at relativistic speed with respect to the Earth, and should therefore immediately escape into
space, as its accretion and growth rate should be very slow. BHs produced in colliders (with components of equal mass) would
have some chance of having a velocity less than Earth escape velocity, 11.2 km per sec, and would be liable to capture and
subsequent growth. The time scale for them to grow enough to be dangerous is likely to be[weasel words] very long (millions of years)[citation needed], but somewhat controversial.

Bill Brobeck, Designer of Lab's Historic Particle Accelerators, Dies
April 17, 1998
By Monica Friedlander, msfriedlander@lbl.gov
It was Ernest Orlando Lawrence who invented the first cyclotron back in 1930. But it was his
colleague, a young mechanical engineer by the name of William Brobeck, who built on Lawrence's concept to
design the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerators of their era, thereby playing a key role in inaugurating
the golden age of nuclear science. Last Friday Bill Brobeck died in Walnut Creek, leaving behind
a lifetime of contributions to the field of accelerator physics. He was 89.
Bill Brobeck 1908-1998 |
"Bill was one of the great persons who helped Lawrence organize a pioneering science institution
which became the prototype for science laboratories the world over," said retired Berkeley Lab physicist Ed Lofgren, who headed
the development and operation of the Bevatron and knew Brobeck in his early days.
From 1937 to 1957 Brobeck was assistant director and chief engineer of the Lab -- then the UC
Radiation Laboratory. He joined the best and the brightest in the field of particle physics when he was only 29 years old,
and went on to oversee the construction of what were then the most famous atom smashers in the world -- the
60-inch and 184-inch cyclotrons, and finally the Bevatron.

former Lab Director Ernest O. Lawrence. |
Brobeck was the first person to marry science and engineering by applying professional engineering
techniques to accelerator design -- something that became standard procedure in all future accelerator construction. The instruments
he created represented major technological advances and were subsequently associated with important discoveries in particle
physics. The Bevatron, for example, which could accelerate protons to energies of 6.5 Gev, made possible the creation
of antiprotons, a discovery that earned Owen Chamberlain and Emilio Segrè the Nobel Prize in 1955.
Former Lab director and Nobel laureate Edwin McMillan once referred to Brobeck as the
"master of the confluence of engineering and physics," who "transformed homemade toys into superb tools of the intellect,"
and "helped open to human understanding the worlds of the atom and of subatomic particles."
Brobeck's first large-scale assignment was to design the 60-inch cyclotron in 1939 -- then the
largest and most powerful accelerator in the world. Brobeck scaled up Luis Alvarez's model to devise the historical machine.
"To him, more than to any other one individual, goes the credit for the success of the 60-inch cyclotron and all subsequent
developments," said Lab founder Ernest Lawrence in 1951.
The 60-inch cyclotron was used for the discovery of the early transuranium elements and established
the Laboratory's preeminence as a world leader in accelerator design. Subsequently, Lawrence put Brobeck in charge of designing
its successor, the 184-Inch Cyclotron, which inaugurated the field of experimental high energy physics using accelerator
beams.
Soon thereafter Brobeck proposed a practical method of applying the principle of "phase stability,"
discovered by Ed McMillan, to accelerate protons to energies in the billion-volt range and higher in ring magnets.
Brobeck successfully embodied this revolutionary concept in the construction of the Berkeley Bevatron, which would dominate
the field of particle physics for years to come and further accelerate man's understanding of energy and matter.
After retiring from the Lab in 1957, Brobeck continued his contribution to the field of accelerator
design by establishing his own consulting firm in mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering. In 1971
Brobeck was awarded an honorary degree from UC Berkeley for his lifelong contributions. Brobeck held engineering degrees from
Stanford University and MIT, and was also a renowned scholar of English literature.
Brobeck's professional interests and bursting ingenuity extended way beyond the field
of accelerator design. In 1972, for instance, he was hired by the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop pollution-free
vehicles. Even in his retirement years Brobeck continued to design gadgets that made him as famous in his neighborhood
as accelerators did in the world of science. Among them: an automated lawn mower that could start up by itself, head out onto
the lawn and mow it before going back, turning itself off and recharging its battery. He also invented an automatic record
changer and a car that ran on both gas and electricity.
A memorial service for Bill Brobeck was held on April 9 at the Orinda Community Church. Brobeck
is survived by his wife, Gloria Brown Brobeck, daughters Kathy Brobeck and Betts Coury, son Bill Brobeck,
and two grandchildren. Memorial gifts may be sent in his name to the Alzheimer Association, Greater San Francisco Bay Area

The Counterfactual... Year
of Barbelo 2003...
Tom Coates
Preface, I'm not a particularly brilliant creative writer so I'm
going to suggest something and then retire away relatively gracefully to see what people make of it. This particularly interested
me because my recent reintroduction to the Gnostic Barbelites reminded me of all the inherently Christian bits of ideology
that still exist in my morals and preconceptions even as a staunch atheist. So this is an attempt at getting people to think
differently in terms of alternate histories - ways the world could have gone - with the objective of helping us to realise
the contingency of our own world, it's value systems and beliefs...
Year of Barbelo 196 AD:
The second century
Barbelite Christians believed that human bodies were vessels for fallen fragments of divine higher powers. Believing that
reproduction only drove the cycle of imprisonment, they ritually consumed semen (and menses, according to some sources);
they believed that the life energy bound therein would be bound to the soul of the one who consumed them, and be able to escape
this world with the eater's soul upon death. If the eater had not gained enough energy and wisdom, he would be trapped
by the Rulers and reincarnated again on Earth. The Barbelites used sexual fluids as the sacraments of the
Eucharist. The suffering of Christ was re-enacted whenever a new being was born. The Barbelites used non-reproductive
sex to re-enact the descent of spirit into matter without actually trapping the spirit in physical form. The
Barbelites, believing Yaldabaoth (Yahweh [YHWH]) was the vile bastard son of Barbelo, the pure reflection of the
true God's conscious, felt that, by the desist of humanity, they would transfer Barbelo's stolen energy back to her,
weakening the mad, tyrranical Yaldabaoth. Needless to say, the Barbelites were none too beloved by less eccentric
religious groups. They were wiped out en masse, courtesy the Christians.
But what if they weren't wiped out. What if - instead - Barbelite Gnosticism became the major faith
of the Western World - eventually taken up by Emperor Constantine to reinspire his empire. What if Barbelite Gnosticism was
a state religion...
Year of Barbelo 2003:
What kind of world could have made the Barbelites
'win'. What kind of world would exist today if they had become the major religion of the Western world....
Qalyn
(prev. Qualyn) 00:11 / 06.09.03 Well, Tom, before we can really get rolling, we'd have to take into account the
mystes of the Druidic Boibel-Loth, which (reputedly) contained encoded instructions on all manner of statecraft pertinent
to Celtic affairs, and its impact on orthodox Barbelist thought.
rizla mission 19:24 / 06.09.03 Well a
fairly inescapable suggestion is gonna be;
A sect which exists in direct opposition to the idea of reproductive sex
becomes the dominant religious force in the Western world?
..there aren't gonna be many caucasians around
in 2003..
Tom Coates 22:33 / 06.09.03 Well Christianity is pretty against people having sex outside
wedlock, but all the evidence is that people have been doing it pretty much since the beginning of time. You might use as
a basis for any counterfactual thinking that Catholic priests are supposed to be celibate and married to Christ - it could
be that in order for the cult to have 'won' it would have to split into a priest class and a follower class, where the priests
tried to persuade people to have as much non-reproductive sex as possible, lowering birth rates dramatically but far from
totally - people having ten children - four of which died - now have four - one of whom dies.
Discrimination on grounds of sexual act would be dramatically lower initially at least and
indeed in a subsequent renaissance that might happen again. The Church might have remained in the hands of the people rather
than become institutionalised to the same extent or it might not.
STDs would be much higher, but prostate cancer much lower. The status of women could have
been dramatically higher earlier, both because of the mother goddess and because of the celebration of less invasive penetrative
sex... So with those things in your head, WHAT COMES NEXT?
Tom Coates 22:40 / 06.09.03 PS. Also "Caucasian"?
If you're talking in the colloquial "white" sense of the word, then I'm not sure that the middle eastern population we're
starting with fall under that classification - and if you're talking about the stricter now-out-of-use scientific classification,
then you're also talking about people who came to undertake many other religions including but not limited to some of the
peoples of India, many muslims and peoples of North Africa.
rizla mission 00:14 / 07.09.03 Fair point.
Poor choice of words. I guess maybe "European" is closer to what I meant.
I still think though that, since according
to the Barbelite cosmology childbirth isn't just frowned upon - it's actually ultimate sin which the whole religion is organised
in opposition to - it would be pretty difficult for the leaders of the religion to tolerate any births within the ranks of
the faithful..
Possibilities:
i.maybe people who had children would be banished from the religious community,
creating parallel religious and secular societies. I suppose the Barbelite ideology would have to be persuasive enough to
convince a certain percentage of the secular offspring to take it up again, thus ensuring that it doesn't die out..
ii.maybe,
as a more extreme version of what you've suggested, an extremely small carefully monitored birth rate would be permitted in
the name of self-preservation and perpetuating the religion..
(I know I'm maybe going off on the wrong tack on this,
but it's fun trying to get my head around how a sect that prohibits breeding could succeed in becoming a dominant world religion..)
Tom Coates 12:09 / 08.09.03 So try to think about some of the shifts they'd have had to make to keep the
core message intactish while permitting them to become the dominant religion...
grant 23:05 / 08.09.03 I
can easily picture a world where STDs bear the taint of sin.
What would be interesting, however, would be the institution
of marriage, which is seen as the cornerstone of society. Human emotions being what they are, I imagine serial monogamy might
become the norm -- and/or massive orgies, probably during major carnivals, like Mardi Gras.
Also, for the Barbelo-gnostics
to be in a position of authority, the Bible as we know it would not exist. Significant portions of the New Testament would
be different, primarly the omission Paul's writings. These are the ones that set up the prohibitions surrounding marriage,
but also have something to say about homosexuality, as well as setting out some of what we know about the Trinity, and the
rule of celibate priesthood. John would stay -- weird visions of the End Times. The Whore of Babylon, however,
would have a whole different vibe.
I think in this world, prominent citizens might be required to "make face"
by having a same-sex consort.
Prostitutes would probably be mainstream working class, if not considered elite professionals.
I imagine there'd also be a substantial historical precedent for sex-slavery. Like, maybe not in 2003, but up to the 1800s
at least and probably much later.
Racial boundaries, as a result, might be a lot harder to police. This may have an
opposite effect from what you'd expect -- ideas of racial supremacy might be even stronger, especially with the "no children"
meme adding to the opprobrium heaped on the offspring of slave-master unions. So possibly a minority snow-white sex-worker/priest
class, with a lot of mixed race middle class folks.
I'm not sure if democracy would catch on in quite the same way,
but I imagine queens would be far more common, and women would never have had to march to get the vote.
Populations
would definitely be smaller. I wonder... Christianity might have spread a lot faster, if the sexuality was attached to the
idea of eternal salvation and a single, omnipotent, loving God. Hmm.
The current debate on abortion would be almost
identical, only with scientists & "rationalists" taking a minority "pro-life" view, and fundamentalist Christians taking
the close majority "pro-choice" view.
The relationship between the Church and scientific rationalism would also be
somewhat different, probably, since gnosticism in all forms is based on personal revelation, not authoritative truth. Galileo
might never have been persecuted. Hard to say, though, since we monkeys seem to like authorities.
I wonder, also,
what urges would be repressed -- y'know, Freud's big thing was, "Hey, sex - it's pretty important! And we don't like to admit
we're thinking about it!"
What would the Barbelo-Freud discover?
grant 16:49 / 09.09.03 Actually,
if Emperor Constantine took up Barbelite Gnosticism, it would find a way to become authoritarian pretty darn quickly.
Most
of the authoritarianism in the early church can be traced to him, the first Christian emperor. (Or, more properly, "Christian").
bjacques 16:03 / 15.09.03 Is Gnosticism the source of the
Jorge
Luis Borges
quote that "copulation and mirrors are both abominable, because they increase the number of men?"
But I think an anti-reproductive religion would have been self-limiting.
The Shakers,
(SEE MOTHER ANN LEE)
in the northern US of the 1700s, were also against sex, and are pretty much extinct.
If Constantine had championed it, it would probably have been a religion practiced publicly and in the Emperor's court, while
people practiced their real religion privately, and it would have died with him, as did Ikhnaton's solar monotheism and Julian's
"Apostasy."
But since preference for barbelite Christianity would have come at the cost of the "our" Christianity,
then the latter might not have gotten the critical boost it needed to become one of the Big Three monotheisms. There's an
excellent book by Karen Armstrong called something like the History of God, supposing Islam, Judaism and Christianity
arose and consolidated their hold in the Axial Age, about 400BC-600AD, when general historical conditions favored
it. That also suggests a niche existed and that a later Emperor might have seen which way the wind was blowing and championed
regular Christianity with roughly similar results.
So the world would have been very different, but still not very
barbelithic, except that that religion would probably have about as many adherents as Jehovah's Witnesses.
I like
this, I just wish I knew enough about Gnosticism to imagine the alternate world instead of just playing, er, Devil's Advocate.
grant 21:04 / 15.09.03 "Gnosticism" is a single label for a bunch of different strands of belief -- Barbelite
Gnosticism being just one of 'em.
Emphasis is on personal knowledge
(gnosis) of the divine as opposed to scripture and traditional/authoritative sources of revelation.
There *is* a tradition (a set of beliefs) within these gnostic strains, elements of which
were accepted or rejected by various groups throughout history. So that set of beliefs is by no means uniform from group to
group.
The main thing all the gnostics have in common is that they lost out to orthodox Christianity (as
political entities) at about the same time Constantine adopted the faith.
I wonder if the Barbelites would have been
more plural and less monolithic than the version of Christianity that came to the fore in the 300s -- less apt to condemn heretics, laying the foundation for a far broader church.
bjacques
00:53 / 16.09.03 Thanks! I'd picked up a few strands from reading tons of Borges' stories; last week
I was amazed to see Gnostic themes in Orson Welles' version of Kafka's
"The Trial." Anyway...
You're probably right about a kinder, gentler Christianity resulting. A possible example
is the Ottoman Empire whose state religion was of course Islam, but it was a more tolerant Islam than that practiced in Saudi
Arabia. Non-Muslims were welcome there as long as they paid taxes and didn't stir up trouble. There was a lot of intellectual
ferment in the Ottoman Empire.
Oh. Fertility images, like the classic Demeter and her Cornucopia,
used a lot in American art in the 1800s, would probably be unknown. Maybe Barbelo-Freud would discover repression of fertility
drives? Also, the ecstatic side of Christianity would be more respectable, and probably de rigeur, but maybe you'd only have
to fake it on festival days. A dark side of a religion like this could be outbreaks of mass panics, fundamentalist frenzy.
Maybe the state would make use of them and channel them into participatory public executions like the "salvagings" of Margaret
Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," only people wouldn't pull on a long rope but instead tear the victims
apart themselves.
Burning Man would be government-subsidized, and have darker connotations, at least in states
that had the death penalty...
at the scarwash 03:26 / 30.09.03 Religions of aesceticism, if they are to
thrive, seem to very quickly generate more easily-consumable versions of themselves. A good example of this is perhaps Pure-Land
Buddhism, which offers potential enlightenment to those who can't find it though the path of wisdom, or in other words, by
doing the damned hard (and selfish) work of the aescetic. Even Catholicism as it is today would be a good example. My impression
of Catholic doctrine is that the real O.G.'s of the Catholic world are found amongst the priesthood and the orders; the laiety
have their place, but they are somehow less holy than their clergy. It's not that they actually could or should all be ordained--they
are in the position intended for them.
So anyway, I'd imagine that the Barbelo-Gnostics would probably evolve a similar
system: a real hard-ass Barbelo-Gnosis for the expert, and a Barbelo-lite Home Edition (TM) for the people too concerned with
raising crops to feed the priesthood to be able to go off and be awesome pervert-heretics themselves.

One day, the man emerged from his sleep as if from a viscous desert, looked at the useless
afternoon light which he immediately confused with the dawn, and understood that he had not dreamed. All that night and all
day long, the intolerable lucidity of insomnia fell upon him. He tried exploring the forest, to lose his strength; among the
hemlock he barely succeeded in experiencing several short snatchs of sleep, veined with fleeting, rudimentary visions that
were useless.

of exhortation when it became deformed and was then erased. In his almost perpetual vigil, tears of anger burned his old eyes.
He understood that modeling the incoherent and vertiginous matter of which dreams are
composed was the most difficult task that a man could undertake, even though he should penetrate all the enigmas of a superior
and inferior order; much more difficult than weaving a rope out of sand or coining the faceless wind. He swore he would forget
the enormous hallucination which had thrown him off at first, and he sought another method of work. Before putting it into
execution, he spent a month recovering his strength, which had been squandered by his delirium. He abandoned all premeditation
of dreaming and almost immediately succeeded in sleeping a reasonable part of each day. The few times that he had dreams during
this period, he paid no attention to them. Before resuming his task, he waited until the moon's disk was perfect. Then, in
the afternoon, he purified himself in the waters of the river, worshiped the planetary gods, pronounced the prescribed syllables
of a mighty name, and went to sleep. He dreamed almost immediately, with his heart throbbing.
He dreamed that it was warm, secret, about the size of a clenched fist, and of a garnet
color within the penumbra of a human body as yet without face or sex; during fourteen lucid nights he dreampt of it with meticulous
love. Every night he perceived it more clearly. He did not touch it; he only permitted himself to witness it, to observe it,
and occasionally to rectify it with a glance. He perceived it and lived it from all angles and distances. On the fourteenth
night he lightly touched the pulmonary artery with his index finger, then the whole heart, outside and inside. He was satisfied
with the examination. He deliberately did not dream for a night; he took up the heart again, invoked the name of a planet,
and undertook the vision of another of the principle organs. Within a year he had come to the skeleton and the eyelids. The
innumerable hair was perhaps the most difficult task. He dreamed an entire man--a young man, but who did not sit up or talk,
who was unable to open his eyes. Night after night, the man dreamt him asleep.
In the Gnostic cosmosgonies, demiurges fashion a red Adam who cannot stand; as a clumsy,
crude and elemental as this Adam of dust was the Adam of dreams forged by the wizard's nights. One afternoon, the man almost
destroyed his entire work, but then changed his mind. (It would have been better had he destroyed it.) When he had exhausted
all supplications to the deities of earth, he threw himself at the feet of the effigy which was perhaps a tiger or perhaps
a colt and implored its unknown help. That evening, at twilight, he dreamt of the statue. He dreamt it was alive, tremulous:
it was not an atrocious bastard of a tiger and a colt, but at the same time these two firey creatures and also a bull, a rose,
and a storm. This multiple god revealed to him that his earthly name was Fire, and that in this circular temple (and in others
like it) people had once made sacrifices to him and worshiped him, and that he would magically animate the dreamed phantom,
in such a way that all creatures, except Fire itself and the dreamer, would believe to be a man of flesh and blood. He commanded
that once this man had been instructed in all the rites, he should be sent to the other ruined temple whose pyramids were
still standing downstream, so that some voice would glorify him in that deserted edifice. In the dream of the man that dreamed,
the dreamed one awoke.
The wizard carried out the orders he had been given. He devoted a certain length of
time (which finally proved to be two years) to instructing him in the mysteries of the universe and the cult of fire. Secretly,
he was pained at the idea of being separated from him. On the pretext of pedagogical necessity, each day he increased the
number of hours dedicated to dreaming. He also remade the right shoulder, which was somewhat defective. At times, he was disturbed
by the impression that all this had already happened . . . In general, his days were happy; when he closed his eyes, he thought:
Now I will be with my son. Or, more rarely: The son I have engendered is waiting for me and will not exist if I do not go
to him.
Gradually, he began accustoming him to reality. Once he ordered him to place a flag
on a faraway peak. The next day the flag was fluttering on the peak. He tried other analogous experiments, each time more
audacious. With a certain bitterness, he understood that his son was ready to be born--and perhaps impatient. That night he
kissed him for the first time and sent him off to the other temple whose remains were turning white downstream, across many
miles of inextricable jungle and marshes. Before doing this (and so that his son should never know that he was a phantom,
so that he should think himself a man like any other) he destroyed in him all memory of his years of apprenticeship.
His victory and peace became blurred with boredom. In the twilight times of dusk and
dawn, he would prostrate himself before the stone figure, perhaps imagining his unreal son carrying out identical rites in
other circular ruins downstream; at night he no longer dreamed, or dreamed as any man does. His perceptions of the sounds
and forms of the universe became somewhat pallid: his absent son was being nourished by these diminution of his soul. The
purpose of his life had been fulfilled; the man remained in a kind of ecstasy. After a certain time, which some chronicles
prefer to compute in years and others in decades, two oarsmen awoke him at midnight; he could not see their faces, but they
spoke to him of a charmed man in a temple of the North, capable of walking on fire without burning himself. The wizard suddenly
remembered the words of the god. He remembered that of all the creatures that people the earth, Fire was the only one who
knew his son to be a phantom. This memory, which at first calmed him, ended by tormenting him. He feared lest his son should
meditate on this abnormal privilege and by some means find out he was a mere simulacrum. Not to be a man, to be a projection
of another man's dreams--what an incomparable humiliation, what madness! Any father is interested in the sons he has procreated
(or permitted) out of the mere confusion of happiness; it was natural that the wizard should fear for the future of that son
whom he had thought out entrail by entrail, feature by feature, in a thousand and one secret nights.
His misgivings ended abruptly, but not without certain forewarnings. First (after a
long drought) a remote cloud, as light as a bird, appeared on a hill; then, toward the South, the sky took on the rose color
of leopard's gums; then came clouds of smoke which rusted the metal of the nights; afterwards came the panic-stricken flight
of wild animals. For what had happened many centuries before was repeating itself. The ruins of the sanctuary of the god of
Fire was destroyed by fire. In a dawn without birds, the wizard saw the concentric fire licking the walls. For a moment, he
thought of taking refuge in the water, but then he understood that death was coming to crown his old age and absolve him from
his labors. He walked toward the sheets of flame. They did not bite his flesh, they caressed him and flooded him without heat
or combustion. With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he also was an illusion, that someone else was
dreaming him.

THE LIBRARY OF SOPHIA OF WISDOM III THE SOPHIA OF ALL SOPHIA OF WISDOMS
AKA CAROLINE E. KENNEDY - CAROLINA KENNEDIA
NOVEMBER 11, 2006
The Library of Babel
by Jorge Luis Borges
The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite
number of hexagonal galleries, with vast air shafts between, surrounded by very low railings. From any of the hexagons one
can see, interminably, the upper and lower floors. The distribution of the galleries is invariable. Twenty shelves, five long
shelves per side, cover all the sides except two; their height, which is the distance from floor to ceiling, scarcely exceeds
that of a normal bookcase. One of the free sides leads to a narrow hallway which opens onto another gallery, identical to
the first and to all the rest. To the left and right of the hallway there are two very small closets. In the first, one may
sleep standing up; in the other, satisfy one's fecal necessities. Also through here passes a spiral stairway, which sinks
abysmally and soars upwards to remote distances. In the hallway there is a mirror which faithfully duplicates all appearances.
Men usually infer from this mirror that the Library is not infinite (if it were, why this illusory duplication?); I prefer
to dream that its polished surfaces represent and promise the infinite ... Light is provided by some spherical fruit which
bear the name of lamps. There are two, transversally placed, in each hexagon. The light they emit is insufficient, incessant.
Like all men of the Library, I have traveled in my youth; I have wandered in search of
a book, perhaps the catalogue of catalogues; now that my eyes can hardly decipher what I write, I am preparing to die just
a few leagues from the hexagon in which I was born. Once I am dead, there will be no lack of pious hands to throw me over
the railing; my grave will be the fathomless air; my body will sink endlessly and decay and dissolve in the wind generated
by the fall, which is infinite. I say that the Library is unending. The idealists argue that the hexagonal rooms are a necessary
form of absolute space or, at least, of our intuition of space. They reason that a triangular or pentagonal room is inconceivable.
(The mystics claim that their ecstasy reveals to them a circular chamber containing a great circular book, whose spine is
continuous and which follows the complete circle of the walls; but their testimony is suspect; their words, obscure. This
cyclical book is God.) Let it suffice now for me to repeat the classic dictum: The Library is a sphere whose exact center
is any one of its hexagons and whose circumference is inaccessible. There are five
shelves for each of the hexagon's walls; each shelf contains thirty-five books of uniform format; each book is of four hundred
and ten pages; each page, of forty lines, each line, of some eighty letters which are black in color. There are also letters
on the spine of each book; these letters do not indicate or prefigure what the pages will say. I know that this incoherence
at one time seemed mysterious. Before summarizing the solution (whose discovery, in spite of its tragic projections, is perhaps
the capital fact in history) I wish to recall a few axioms. First: The Library exists ab
aeterno. This truth, whose immediate corollary is the future eternity of the world, cannot be placed in doubt by any reasonable
mind. Man, the imperfect librarian, may be the product of chance or of malevolent demiurgi; the universe, with its elegant
endowment of shelves, of enigmatical volumes, of inexhaustible stairways for the traveler and latrines for the seated librarian,
can only be the work of a god. To perceive the distance between the divine and the human, it is enough to compare these crude
wavering symbols which my fallible hand scrawls on the cover of a book, with the organic letters inside: punctual, delicate,
perfectly black, inimitably symmetrical. Second: The orthographical symbols are twenty-five
in number. (1) This finding made it possible, three hundred years ago, to formulate a general theory
of the Library and solve satisfactorily the problem which no conjecture had deciphered: the formless and chaotic nature of
almost all the books. One which my father saw in a hexagon on circuit fifteen ninety-four was made up of the letters MCV,
perversely repeated from the first line to the last. Another (very much consulted in this area) is a mere labyrinth of letters,
but the next-to-last page says Oh time thy pyramids. This much is already known: for every sensible line of straightforward
statement, there are leagues of senseless cacophonies, verbal jumbles and incoherences. (I know of an uncouth region whose
librarians repudiate the vain and superstitious custom of finding a meaning in books and equate it with that of finding a
meaning in dreams or in the chaotic lines of one's palm ... They admit that the inventors of this writing imitated the twenty-five
natural symbols, but maintain that this application is accidental and that the books signify nothing in themselves. This dictum,
we shall see, is not entirely fallacious.) For a long time it was believed that these impenetrable
books corresponded to past or remote languages. It is true that the most ancient men, the first librarians, used a language
quite different from the one we now speak; it is true that a few miles to the right the tongue is dialectical and that ninety
floors farther up, it is incomprehensible. All this, I repeat, is true, but four hundred and ten pages of inalterable MCV's
cannot correspond to any language, no matter how dialectical or rudimentary it may be. Some insinuated that each letter could
influence the following one and that the value of MCV in the third line of page 71 was not the one the same series may have
in another position on another page, but this vague thesis did not prevail. Others thought of cryptographs; generally, this
conjecture has been accepted, though not in the sense in which it was formulated by its originators.
Five hundred years ago, the chief of an upper hexagon (2) came upon a book as confusing as the others, but which had nearly two pages of homogeneous
lines. He showed his find to a wandering decoder who told him the lines were written in Portuguese; others said they were
Yiddish. Within a century, the language was established: a Samoyedic Lithuanian dialect of Guarani, with classical Arabian
inflections. The content was also deciphered: some notions of combinative analysis, illustrated with examples of variations
with unlimited repetition. These examples made it possible for a librarian of genius to discover the fundamental law of the
Library. This thinker observed that all the books, no matter how diverse they might be, are made up of the same elements:
the space, the period, the comma, the twenty-two letters of the alphabet. He also alleged a fact which travelers have confirmed:
In the vast Library there are no two identical books. From these two incontrovertible premises he deduced that the
Library is total and that its shelves register all the possible combinations of the twenty-odd orthographical symbols (a number
which, though extremely vast, is not infinite): Everything: the minutely detailed history of the future, the archangels' autobiographies,
the faithful catalogues of the Library, thousands and thousands of false catalogues, the demonstration of the fallacy of those
catalogues, the demonstration of the fallacy of the true catalogue, the Gnostic gospel of Basilides, the commentary on that
gospel, the commentary on the commentary on that gospel, the true story of your death, the translation of every book in all
languages, the interpolations of every book in all books. When it was proclaimed that the
Library contained all books, the first impression was one of extravagant happiness. All men felt themselves to be the masters
of an intact and secret treasure. There was no personal or world problem whose eloquent solution did not exist in some hexagon.
The universe was justified, the universe suddenly usurped the unlimited dimensions of hope. At that time a great deal was
said about the Vindications: books of apology and prophecy which vindicated for all time the acts of every man in the universe
and retained prodigious arcana for his future. Thousands of the greedy abandoned their sweet native hexagons and rushed up
the stairways, urged on by the vain intention of finding their Vindication. These pilgrims disputed in the narrow corridors,
proferred dark curses, strangled each other on the divine stairways, flung the deceptive books into the air shafts, met their
death cast down in a similar fashion by the inhabitants of remote regions. Others went mad ... The Vindications exist (I have
seen two which refer to persons of the future, to persons who are perhaps not imaginary) but the searchers did not remember
that the possibility of a man's finding his Vindication, or some treacherous variation thereof, can be computed as zero.
At that time it was also hoped that a clarification of humanity's basic mysteries -- the origin of the Library and of time
-- might be found. It is verisimilar that these grave mysteries could be explained in words: if the language of philosophers
is not sufficient, the multiform Library will have produced the unprecedented language required, with its vocabularies and
grammars. For four centuries now men have exhausted the hexagons ... There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have
seen them in the performance of their function: they always arrive extremely tired from their journeys; they speak of a broken
stairway which almost killed them; they talk with the librarian of galleries and stairs; sometimes they pick up the nearest
volume and leaf through it, looking for infamous words. Obviously, no one expects to discover anything.
As was natural, this inordinate hope was followed by an excessive depression. The certitude that some shelf in some hexagon
held precious books and that these precious books were inaccessible, seemed almost intolerable. A blasphemous sect suggested
that the searches should cease and that all men should juggle letters and symbols until they constructed, by an improbable
gift of chance, these canonical books. The authorities were obliged to issue severe orders. The sect disappeared, but in my
childhood I have seen old men who, for long periods of time, would hide in the latrines with some metal disks in a forbidden
dice cup and feebly mimic the divine disorder. Others, inversely, believed that it was
fundamental to eliminate useless works. They invaded the hexagons, showed credentials which were not always false, leafed
through a volume with displeasure and condemned whole shelves: their hygienic, ascetic furor caused the senseless perdition
of millions of books. Their name is execrated, but those who deplore the ``treasures'' destroyed by this frenzy neglect two
notable facts. One: the Library is so enormous that any reduction of human origin is infinitesimal. The other: every copy
is unique, irreplaceable, but (since the Library is total) there are always several hundred thousand imperfect facsimiles:
works which differ only in a letter or a comma. Counter to general opinion, I venture to suppose that the consequences of
the Purifiers' depredations have been exaggerated by the horror these fanatics produced. They were urged on by the delirium
of trying to reach the books in the Crimson Hexagon: books whose format is smaller than usual, all-powerful, illustrated and
magical. We also know of another superstition of that time: that of the Man of the Book.
On some shelf in some hexagon (men reasoned) there must exist a book which is the formula and perfect compendium of all
the rest: some librarian has gone through it and he is analogous to a god. In the language of this zone vestiges of this
remote functionary's cult still persist. Many wandered in search of Him. For a century they have exhausted in vain the most
varied areas. How could one locate the venerated and secret hexagon which housed Him? Someone proposed a regressive method:
To locate book A, consult first book B which indicates A's position; to locate book B, consult first a book C, and so on to
infinity ... In adventures such as these, I have squandered and wasted my years. It does not seem unlikely to me that there
is a total book on some shelf of the universe; (3) I pray to the unknown gods that a man -- just one, even though it were thousands of
years ago! -- may have examined and read it. If honor and wisdom and happiness are not for me, let them be for others. Let
heaven exist, though my place be in hell. Let me be outraged and annihilated, but for one instant, in one being, let Your
enormous Library be justified. The impious maintain that nonsense is normal in the Library and that the reasonable (and even
humble and pure coherence) is an almost miraculous exception. They speak (I know) of the ``feverish Library whose chance volumes
are constantly in danger of changing into others and affirm, negate and confuse everything like a delirious divinity.'' These
words, which not only denounce the disorder but exemplify it as well, notoriously prove their authors' abominable taste and
desperate ignorance. In truth, the Library includes all verbal structures, all variations permitted by the twenty-five orthographical
symbols, but not a single example of absolute nonsense. It is useless to observe that the best volume of the many hexagons
under my administration is entitled The Combed Thunderclap and another The Plaster Cramp and another Axaxaxas
mlö. These phrases, at first glance incoherent, can no doubt be justified in a cryptographical or allegorical manner;
such a justification is verbal and, ex hypothesi, already figures in the Library. I cannot combine some characters
dhcmrlchtdj which the divine Library has not foreseen and which in one of its secret tongues
do not contain a terrible meaning. No one can articulate a syllable which is not filled with tenderness and fear, which is
not, in one of these languages, the powerful name of a god. To speak is to fall into tautology. This wordy and useless epistle
already exists in one of the thirty volumes of the five shelves of one of the innumerable hexagons -- and its refutation as
well. (An n number of possible languages use the same vocabulary; in some of them, the symbol library allows
the correct definition a ubiquitous and lasting system of hexagonal galleries, but library is bread or
pyramid or anything else, and these seven words which define it have another value. You who read me, are You sure of
understanding my language?) The methodical task of writing distracts me from the present
state of men. The certitude that everything has been written negates us or turns us into phantoms. I know of districts in
which the young men prostrate themselves before books and kiss their pages in a barbarous manner, but they do not know how
to decipher a single letter. Epidemics, heretical conflicts, peregrinations which inevitably degenerate into banditry, have
decimated the population. I believe I have mentioned suicides, more and more frequent with the years. Perhaps my old age and
fearfulness deceive me, but I suspect that the human species -- the unique species -- is about to be extinguished, but the
Library will endure: illuminated, solitary, infinite, perfectly motionless, equipped with precious volumes, useless, incorruptible,
secret. I have just written the word ``infinite.'' I have not interpolated this adjective
out of rhetorical habit; I say that it is not illogical to think that the world is infinite. Those who judge it to be limited
postulate that in remote places the corridors and stairways and hexagons can conceivably come to an end -- which is absurd.
Those who imagine it to be without limit forget that the possible number of books does have such a limit. I venture to suggest
this solution to the ancient problem: The Library is unlimited and cyclical. If an eternal traveler were to cross it
in any direction, after centuries he would see that the same volumes were repeated in the same disorder (which, thus repeated,
would be an order: the Order). My solitude is gladdened by this elegant hope. (4) Translated by J. E. I.
Notes
1 The original manuscript does not contain digits or capital letters. The punctuation
has been limited to the comma and the period. These two signs, the space and the twenty-two letters of the alphabet are the
twenty-five symbols considered sufficient by this unknown author. (Editor's note.)
2 Before, there was a man for every three hexagons. Suicide and pulmonary diseases have
destroyed that proportion. A memory of unspeakable melancholy: at times I have traveled for many nights through corridors
and along polished stairways without finding a single librarian. 3 I repeat: it suffices that a book be possible for it to exist. Only the impossible
is excluded. For example: no book can be a ladder, although no doubt there are books which discuss and negate and demonstrate
this possibility and others whose structure corresponds to that of a ladder. 4 Letizia Álvarez de Toledo has observed that this vast Library is useless: rigorously
speaking, a single volume would be sufficient, a volume of ordinary format, printed in nine or ten point type, containing
an infinite number if infinitely thin leaves. (In the early seventeenth century, Cavalieri said that all solid bodies are
the superimposition of an infinite number of planes.) The handling of this silky vade mecum would not be convenient: each
apparent page would unfold into other analogous ones; the inconceivable middle page would have no reverse.

his first and great royal wife. He should have been with her tonight; but no, she was certain
he'd gone to LADY Rayet, the cowering strumpet.
Ra had always liked her better. It was either because she was his sister, or because she was
always so--accommodating.
He still visited them both, but he went to LADYRayet more often, if the number of children
she'd given him was any indication.
Nebhet suspected that he even sneaked to her room occasionally in the middle of the night.
He'd done so with Nebhet a few times, in the past; but that had been before LADYRayet. She'd
been happy enough before LADY Rayet.
She looked over at her mirror, sitting on a table. Had he actually gone to her?
He would come to Nebhet usually after some confrontation, or when he was angry; she was the
perfect outlet for his anger, which she always managed to convert into passion, so their nights together were always stormy,
and even wild at times. Yet he never visited her when in a good mood. He must go to LADY Rayet then.
She kept thinking,
he'd been in a good mood tonight.
Slowly, she rose, and went to pick up the mirror. She took a breath, and concentrated.
The copper surface swirled. An image started to form; a dim image, shrouded in shadow, flickering lamplight the only
thing illuminating it.
Anger flared up in her chest and her fists clenched when she saw what she'd been looking for--a
bed, from above, the two figures in it occupied.
The dim shape on top was naked and moving slowly, buttocks contracting, then releasing, and
tightening again. Beneath it--a female figure, her arms draped over its shoulders, her legs hugging its hips.
Her head was tipped back, her eyes shut. A light sheen of sweat covered them both.
Nebhet
wanted to smash the mirror in her rage. Ra hadn't gone to her; he'd had her called to him.
The bed was his own, and they were making love in it. They hadn't even covered themselves;
as her view shifted she could see them from the side.
Ra's thick panting filled the air.LADY Rayet's breasts pushed against him when she strained.
He lifted his head from kissing her neck to feel them, his fingers gently caressing their curves, tracing delicate patterns
over her nipples. She sucked in her breath and moved her head from side to side.
Ra's hands slid underneath her to feel and splay her buttocks; LADYRayet let out a long, low
moan, arching and rocking slowly with him. He repositioned himself and Nebhet heard his panting grow heavier.
She
ground her teeth with fury. Why, why had he called her? Why wasn't Nebhet good enough? Why did he only come to her in anger--why
was LADY Rayet the one to experience him in so many ways? She'd watched them before; they made love in many ways besides this--she'd
seen him allow LADY Rayet on top of him, and in his lap, and once they'd coupled standing up, Ra gently pressing her against
a column and thrusting while her thighs embraced him.
Once she'd even accidentally happened on them enjoying each other in the courtyard pool! She'd
come looking for Ra only to find him and LADY Rayet reclining in the water, LADY Rayet giggling softly and twirling a lotus
before his face as he smiled and held her to him; the water hadn't managed to conceal the fact that beneath the surface, their
legs were twined together, their hips meeting in union.
It was only Nebhet's abject embarrassment and apologies that had spared her from Ra's temper.
The only satisfaction she'd gained was knowing that LADY Rayet had been embarrassed too.
But the moment that had by
far infuriated her the most was when she'd seen them in one of the outdoors courtyards in the open, under the moonlight, LADY
Rayet lying on the ground on her stomach, resting her head on her arms, and Ra crouched atop her hips with his head tilted
forward, swaying slowly.
The moon silhouetted them. Nebhet could remember clearly the way Ra's thighs clasped LADYRayet's
prone body, the way his hands fondled and spread her buttocks further, the way he'd thrust, urging himself into her gently.
While she barely moved, just letting him pleasure himself with her.
Nebhet had gone back behind a column, too angered and humiliated to watch; but the sound of
their soft cries of desire haunted her still. Ra never moaned that way for her.
In her mirror now, they were moving
faster, their hips pumping into each other, Ra breathing quickly as he pushed, moving up and down. LADYRayet wrapped her legs
around him welcomingly.
Nebhet slammed down the mirror. She could watch no more; if she did, she knew her anger would
never die. Instead she went to her bed and lay down with her hands before her face, alone.
* * * * *
LADYRayet
trailed her fingers over the muscles of Ra's back as he moved, pushing into her. The hot fanning of his breath over her face
she welcomed, and the touch of his hand upon her breast; she'd loved him since her youth, but had never found the courage
to tell him, not even when it had come time for him to take a wife and he'd chosen Nebhet Hotep, the daughter of Amon and
Mut. Everyone had seen the match as a purely political one, but a wise one as well, as the two were suited in temperament.
LADYRayet had said nothing, merely watched the marriage with an aching heart.

take a wife and he'd chosen Nebhet Hotep, the daughter of Amon and Mut
She wasn't certain what had, several years into the marriage, turned her older brother's eye
her way; but something had, and she hadn't rejected it.
When he had asked for her hand she'd submitted demurely; he'd seemed to appreciate her meekness
as the opposite of what he was, and she'd carried the behavior to his bed. By right of law Nebhet's children were to supersede
hers in importance, as Nebhet was the great royal wife;
LADY Rayet didn't much care, as all that she'd wanted was Ra.
Nebhet had looked none too happy when they'd retired from the wedding banquet to his quarters.
LADY Rayet herself had been a little frightened, but also excited, her heart beating hard
in her chest; she'd desired him all her life, and the moment had come, she was pure and ready for him. Still he'd been most
gentle with her, removing her clothes in the dim light with most of the lamps extinguished, and taking time to ready her with
his fingers playing over her most secret area until she trembled in anticipation; his swift entry had been searing and painful,
but the slightest touch of his hand to her abdomen had ended that, as she recognized his healing power coursing through her
and banishing the pain.
Needless to say she had let him make love to her all night, enjoying his feel, and the knowledge
that all she had ever wanted was now hers--his pleasure was her pleasure--and she'd only lamented the coming of dawn when
he'd had to leave her to bring the daylight.
He'd touched her once again, to remove the ache of exertion from her body; thereafter she'd
spent most of the day lying spent in his bed, until nightfall brought him back, and with him the tender ache, the sweet feel
of him within her.
In the days afterward, he'd come to her bed nightly two weeks in a row.
She harbored no
jealousy for Nebhet, though she knew the royal wife envied the time Ra spent with her, which was increasingly more often.
He went to Nebhet only when extremely angry; Rayet didn't care to guess how they spent the time.
She feared and respected her husband's temper and authority; she'd seen how furious he could
get the one time Nebhet had appeared while they passed their time in the pool. That time had been enjoyable, at least at first;
when Nebhet had shown up out of nowhere she could tell that Ra had thought she'd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra[b] (IPA: [miˈɣel
ðe θerˈβantes saaˈβeðra] in modern Spanish; September 29, 1547 – April 23, 1616) was a Spanish novelist, poet, painter and playwright. Cervantes is one of the most important and influential people in literature and the leading figure associated with the Siglo de Oro, the cultural flourishing of sixteenth century Spain. Cervantes' novel Don Quixote is considered a founding classic of Western literature and regularly figures among the best novels ever written. His work is considered among
the most important in all of literature.[1] He has been dubbed el Príncipe de los Ingenios (the Prince of Wits).
Cervantes, born in Alcalá de Henares, was the fourth of seven children, of a doctor in a family whose origins may have been
of the minor gentry. The family moved from town to town, and little is known of Cervantes's early years. In
his early life he went on to work under a cardinal in the Catholic Church. By 1570 he had been enlisted as a soldier in a Spanish infantry
regiment and continued his military life until 1575, when he was captured by barbary pirates on his return home. He was ransomed by his captors and the Trinitarians and returned to his family in Madrid.
In 1585, Cervantes published a pastoral novel, La Galatea. Because of financial problems, Cervantes worked as a purveyor for the Spanish Armada, and later as a tax collector. In 1597 discrepancies in his accounts of three years previous landed him in the Crown
Jail of Seville. In 1605 he was in Valladolid, just when the immediate success of the first part of his Don Quixote, published in Madrid,
signaled his return to the literary world. In 1607, he settled in Madrid, where he lived and worked until his death. During
the last nine years of his life, Cervantes solidified his reputation as a writer; he published the Exemplary Novels
(Novelas ejemplares) in 1613, the Journey to Parnassus (Viaje del Parnaso) in 1614, and in 1615, the
Ocho comedias y ocho entremeses and the second part of Don Quixote. Carlos Fuentes noted that, "Cervantes leaves open the pages of a book where the reader knows himself
to be written. "[2]
Biography
[edit] Birth and early life
Miguel de Cervantes was born at Alcala de Henares, a Castilian city about 20 miles from Madrid, probably on September 29 (the feast day of St. Michael) 1547. He was baptized on October 9.[1] Miguel's paternal great-grandfather was Ruy Díaz de Cervantes, a prosperous draper who was born most probably in the
1430s. He married a Catalina de Cabrera about whom nothing at all is known. Their son, Miguel's grandfather Juan, studied
law at the University of Salamanca. For most of his life he served as a minor magistrate, ending his career as a specialist
in fiscal law for the Spanish Inquisition and was a well-to-do man. He married Leonor Fernández de Torreblanca, who was apparently
his cousin and a daughter of a Cordoban physician. Miguel's father, Ruy (Rodrigo), was a barber-surgeon who set bones, performed bloodlettings, and attended "lesser medical needs". He presented
himself as a nobleman and liked to act as a gentleman, which was not easy because of his low income.[3] Little is known of Cervantes' early years and education, but it seems that he spent much of his childhood moving from
town to town with his family. It seems that, much like Dickens' father, Miguel's father was embargoed for debt. The court
records of the proceedings show a very poor household. While some of his biographers argue that he studied at the University of Salamanca, there is no solid evidence for supposing that he did so.[c] There has been speculation also that Cervantes studied with the Jesuits in Córdoba or Sevilla.[4]
[edit] Soldier and captive
The reasons that forced Cervantes to leave Castilia remain uncertain. Whether he was
the "student" of the same name, a "sword-wielding fugitive from justice", fleeing from the royal warrant of arrest for having
wounded a certain Antonio de Sigura in a duel is another mystery.[5] In any event, in going to Italy, Cervantes was doing what many young Spaniards of the time did to further their careers in one way or another. Rome would reveal to the
young artist its ecclesiastic pomp, ritual and majesty. In a city teeming with ruins, Cervantes could focus his attention on Renaissance art, architecture and poetry (knowledge of Italian literature is so readily discernible in his own productions), and on rediscovering antiquity;
he could find in the ancients "a powerful impetus to revive the contemporary world in light of its accomplishments".[6] Thus, Cervantes' continuing desire for Italy, as revealed in his later works, was in part a desire for a return to
the Renaissance.[7]
By 1570 Cervantes had enlisted as a soldier in a Castilian infantry regiment stationed
in Naples, then a possession of the Spanish crown. He was there for about a year before he saw active
service. In September 1571, Cervantes sailed on board the Marquesa, part of the galley fleet of the Holy League (a coalition of the Pope, Spain, Venice, Republic of Genoa, Duchy of Savoy, the Knights of Malta and others under the command of John of Austria) that defeated the Ottoman fleet on October 7 in the Gulf of Lepanto near Corinth. Though taken down with fever, Cervantes refused to stay below, and begged to be allowed
to take part in the battle, saying that he would rather die for his God and his king than keep under cover. He fought bravely
on board a vessel, and received three gunshot wounds – two in the chest and one which rendered his left arm useless,
resulting in amputation. In Journey to Parnassus, he was to say that he "had lost the movement of the left hand for
the glory of the right" (he was thinking of the success of the first part of Don Quixote). Cervantes always looked
back on his conduct in the battle with pride: he believed that he had taken part in an event that would shape the course of
European history.
"What I cannot help taking amiss is that he[d] charges me with being old and one-handed, as if it had been in my power to keep time from passing over me, or
as if the loss of my hand had been brought about in some tavern, and not on the grandest occasion the past or present has
seen, or the future can hope to see. If my wounds have no beauty to the beholder's eye, they are, at least, honourable in
the estimation of those who know where they were received; for the soldier shows to greater advantage dead in battle than
alive in flight." |
Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote - Part II, "The Author's
Preface" translated by John Ormsby) |
After the battle of Lepanto Cervantes remained in hospital for around six months, before his wounds were sufficiently
healed to allow his joining the colors again.[8] From 1572 to 1575, based mainly in Naples, he continued his soldier's life; he participated in expeditions to Corfu and Navarino, and saw the fall of Tunis and La Goleta to the Turks in 1574.[9]
On September 6 or 7 1575 Cervantes set sail on the galley Sol from Naples to Barcelona, Spain, with letters of commendation to the king from the duke de Sessa and Don Juan himself.[10] On the morning of September 26, as the Sol approached the Catalan coast, it was attacked by Algerian corsairs. After significant resistance, in which the captain and many crew members were
killed, the surviving passengers were taken to Algiers as captives.[11] After five years spent as a slave in Algiers, and four unsuccessful escape attempts, he was ransomed by his parents and
the Trinitarians and returned to his family in Madrid. Not surprisingly, this period of Cervantes'
life supplied subject matter for several of his literary works, notably the Captive's tale in Don Quixote and the two
Algiers El trato de Argel (The Treaty of Algiers) and Los baños de Argel (The Baths of Algiers),
as well as episodes in a number of other writings, although never in straight autobiographical form.[1]

Main article: Don Quixote
In 1584, he married the much younger Catalina de Salazar y Palacios. During the next 20 years
he led a nomadic existence, working as a purchasing agent for the Spanish Armada, and as a tax collector. He suffered a bankruptcy, and was imprisoned at least twice (1597 and 1602) for irregularities in his accounts. Between the years 1596 and 1600, he lived primarily
in Seville. In 1606, Cervantes settled permanently in Madrid, Spain; where he remained for the rest
of his life. In 1585, Cervantes published his first major work, La Galatea, a pastoral romance, at the same time that
some of his plays, now lost except for El trato de Argel (where he dealt with the life of Christian slaves in Algiers)
and El cerco de Numancia, were playing on the stages of Madrid. La Galatea received little contemporary notice,
and Cervantes never wrote the continuation for it, (which he repeatedly promised). Cervantes next turned his attention to
the drama, hoping to derive an income from that source, but the plays which he composed failed to achieve their purpose. Aside
from his plays, his most ambitious work in verse was Viaje del Parnaso (1614), an allegory which consisted largely of a rather tedious though good-natured review of
contemporary poets. Cervantes himself realized that he was deficient in poetic gifts.
If a remark which Cervantes himself makes in the prologue of Don Quixote is to
be taken literally, the idea of the work, though hardly the writing of its "First Part", as some have maintained, occurred
to him in prison at Argamasilla de Alba, in La Mancha. Cervantes' idea was to give a picture of real life and manners, and to
express himself in clear language. The intrusion of everyday speech into a literary context was acclaimed by the reading public.
The author stayed poor until 1605, when the first part of Don Quixote appeared. Although it did not make Cervantes
rich, it brought him international appreciation as a man of letters. Cervantes also wrote many plays, only two of which have
survived; short novels, and the vogue obtained by Cervantes's story led to the publication of a continuation of it by an unknown
who masqueraded under the name of Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda. In self-defence, Cervantes produced his own continuation, or "Second Part", of Don
Quixote, which made its appearance in 1615.
For the world at large, interest in Cervantes centers particularly in Don Quixote,
and this work has been regarded chiefly as a novel of purpose. It is stated again and again that he wrote it in order to satirize
the romances of chivalry, and to challenge the popularity of a form of literature which for much more than a century
had been a fad with the general public.
Don Quixote certainly reveals much narrative power, considerable humor, a mastery of
dialogue, and a forcible style. Of the two parts written by Cervantes, the first is the more popular with the general public
- containing the famous episodes of the tilting at windmills, the attack on the flock of sheep, the vigil in the courtyard
of the inn, and the episode with the barber and the shaving basin. The second part is inferior to it in humorous effect; but,
nevertheless, the second part shows more constructive insight, better delineation of character, an improved style, and more
realism and probability in its action. In 1613, he published a collection of tales, the Exemplary Novels, some of which had
been written earlier. On the whole, the Exemplary Novels are worthy of the fame of Cervantes; they bear the same stamp of
genius as Don Quixote. The picaroon strain, already made familiar in Spain by the Lazarillo de Tormes and his successors, appears in one or another of them, especially in the Rinconete
y Cortadillo, which is the best of all. He also published the Viaje del Parnaso in 1614, and in 1615, the Eight
Comedies and Eight New Interludes. At the same time, Cervantes continued working on Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda,
a novel of adventurous travel completed just before his death, and which appeared posthumously in January, 1617.
[edit] Death
Cervantes died in Madrid on April 23, 1616; coincidentally William Shakespeare also died on that date, but not on the same day; Britain was still using the Julian calendar, whereas Spain had already adopted the Gregorian calendar.[12] In honour of this coincidence UNESCO established April 23 as the International Day of the Book.[13] It is worth mentioning that the Encyclopedia Hispanica claims the date widely quoted as Cervantes' date of death, namely
April 23, is the date on his tombstone which in accordance of the traditions at the time would be his date of burial rather than
date of death. If this is true, according to Hispanica, then it means that Cervantes probably died on April 22 and was buried on April 23. Of his burial-place nothing is known except that he was buried, in accordance with his
will, in the neighbouring convent of Trinitarian nuns, of which it is supposed his daughter, Isabel de Saavedra, was a member,
and that a few years afterwards the nuns removed to another convent, carrying their dead with them. But whether the remains
of Cervantes were included in the removal or not no one knows, and the clue to their resting-place is now lost beyond all
hope.

[edit] Works
[edit] Novels
Cervantes's novels, listed chronologically, are as follows:
- La Galatea (1585), a pastoral romance in prose and verse based upon the genre introduced into Spain by Jorge de Montemayor's Diana (1559). Its theme is the fortunes and misfortunes in love of a number of
idealized shepherds and shepherdesses, who spend their life singing and playing musical instruments.
- El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (1605)
- Novelas ejemplares (1613), a collection of twelve short stories of varied
types about the social, political, and historical problems of the Cervantes' Spain:
- La gitanilla (The Gypsy Girl)
- El amante liberal (The Generous Lover)
- Rinconete y Cortadillo
- La española inglesa (The English Spanish Lady)
- El licenciado Vidriera (Vidriera, the Lawyer)
- La fuerza de la sangre (The Power of Blood)
- El celoso extremeño (The Jealous Old Man From Extremadura)
- La ilustre fregona (The Illustrious Kitchen-Maid)
- Novela de las dos doncellas (The Two Damsels)
- Novela de la señora Cornelia (Lady Cornelia)
- Novela del casamiento engañoso (The Deceitful Marriage)
- El coloquio de los perros (The Dialogue of the Dogs)
- Segunda parte del ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (1615)
- Los trabajos de Persiles y Segismunda (1617).
- Los trabajos is the best evidence not only of the survival of Byzantine novel themes but also of the survival of forms and ideas of the Spanish novel of the second
Renaissance. In this work, published after the author's death, Cervantes relates the ideal love and
unbelievable vicissitudes of a couple who, starting from the Arctic regions, arrive in Rome, where they find a happy ending
for their complicated adventures.
[edit] La Galatea
La Galatea, the pastoral romance, which Cervantes wrote in his youth, is an imitation of the Diana of Jorge de Montemayor, and bears an even closer resemblance to Gil Polo's continuation of that romance. Next to Don Quixote and the Novelas ejemplares,
it is particularly worthy of attention, as it manifests in a striking way the poetic direction in which the genius of Cervantes
moved even at an early period of life.
[edit] Don Quixote
-
Main article: Don Quixote
Statues of Don Quixote (left) and Sancho Panza (right)
Don Quixote (sometimes spelled "Quijote") is actually two separate books
that cover the adventures of Don Quixote, also known as the knight or man of La Mancha, a hero who carries his enthusiasm and self-deception to unintentional and comic ends.
On one level, Don Quixote works as a satire of the romances of chivalry which ruled the literary environment of Cervantes' time. However, the novel also allows
Cervantes to illuminate various aspects of human nature by using the ridiculous example of the delusional Quixote.
Because the novel - particularly the first part - was written in individually published
sections, the composition includes several incongruities. In the preface to the second part, Cervantes himself pointed out
some of these errors, but he disdained to correct them, because he conceived that they had been too severely condemned by
his critics.
Cervantes felt a passion for the vivid painting of character, as his successful works
prove. Under the influence of this feeling, he drew the natural and striking portrait of his heroic Don Quixote, so
truly noble-minded, and so enthusiastic an admirer of everything good and great, yet having all those fine qualities, accidentally
blended with a relative kind of madness; and he likewise portrayed with no less fidelity, the opposite character of Sancho Panza, a compound of grossness and simplicity, whose low self-esteem leads him to place blind
confidence in all the extravagant hopes and promises of his master. The subordinate characters of the novel exhibit equal
truth and decision.
The essential connection of these episodes with the whole has sometimes escaped the
observation of critics, who have regarded as merely parenthetical those parts in which Cervantes has most decidedly manifested
the poetic spirit of his work. The novel of El curioso impertinente cannot indeed be ranked among the number of these
essential episodes, but the charming story of the shepherdess Marcela, the history of Dorothea, and the history
of the rich Camacho and the poor Basilio, are unquestionably connected with the interest of the whole.
IV centenary of Don Quixote of La Mancha (1605-2005)
These serious romantic parts, which are not, it is true, essential to the narrative
connection, but strictly belong to the characteristic dignity of the whole picture[citation needed], also prove how far Cervantes was from the idea usually attributed to him of writing a book merely to entice
laughter. The passages, which common readers feel inclined to pass over[citation needed], are, in general, precisely those in which Cervantes is most decidedly a poet, and for which he has manifested
an evident predilection. On such occasions, he also introduces among his prose, episodical verses, for the most part excellent
in their kind and no translator can omit them without doing violence to the spirit of the original.
Were it not for the creative spirit with which Cervantes has contrived to preserve an
intermediate tone between pure poetry and prose, Don Quixote would not deserve to be cited as the first classic model
of the modern romance or novel. It is, however, fully entitled to that distinction. Cervantes was the first writer who formed
the genuine romance of modern times on the model of the original chivalrous romance of the Middle Ages. The result has proved that modern literary style, however readily it may in other respects
conform to the rules of the antique, nevertheless requires, in the narration of fictitious events, a certain union of poetry
with prose, which was unknown to the Greeks and Romans at their height of creativity[citation needed]. It was only necessary to seize on the right tone, but that was a point of delicacy, which the inventors
of romances of chivalry were not able to comprehend. Diego de Mendoza, in his Lazarillo de Tormes, departed too far from poetry. Cervantes, in his Don
Quixote restored to the poetic art the place it was entitled to hold in this class of writing; and he must not be blamed if
cultivated nations have subsequently mistaken the true spirit of this work, because their own novelists had led them to regard
common prose as the style peculiarly suited to romance composition.
Don Quixote is, moreover, the undoubted prototype of the comic novel. The
humorous situations are, it is true, almost all burlesque, which was certainly not necessary, but the satire is frequently
so delicate, that it escapes rather than obtrudes on unpracticed attention; as for example, in the whole picture of the administration
of Sancho Panza in his imaginary island. The language, even in the description of the most burlesque situations, never degenerates
into vulgarity; it is on the contrary, throughout the whole work, so noble, correct and highly polished, that it would not
disgrace even an ancient classic of the first rank[citation needed]. This explanation of a part of the merits of a work, which has been so often wrongly judged, may perhaps
seem to belong rather to the eulogist than the calm and impartial historian. Let those who may be inclined to form this opinion
study Don Quixote in the original language, and study it rightly, for it is not a book to be judged by a superficial
perusal[citation needed]. But care must be taken lest the intervention of many subordinate traits, which were intended to have only
a transient national interest, should produce an error in the estimate of the whole. By the 20th century it became clear that Don Quixote was the first true modern novel, a systemical and structural
masterpiece.
Don Quixote is one of the Encyclopedia Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World" and the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky called it "the ultimate and most sublime word of human thinking".
[edit] Novelas ejemplares
It would be scarcely possible to arrange the other works of Cervantes according to a
critical judgment of their importance; for the merits of some consist in the admirable finish of the whole, while others exhibit
the impress of genius in the invention, or some other individual feature.
A distinguished place must, however, be assigned to the Novelas[14] ejemplares ("Moral or Instructive Tales"). They are unequal in merit as well as in character. Cervantes doubtless
intended that they should be to the Spaniards nearly what the novellas of Boccaccio were to the Italians, some are mere anecdotes, some are romances in miniature, some are
serious, some comic, and all are written in a light, smooth, conversational style.
Four of them are perhaps of less interest than the rest: El amante liberal, La
señora Cornelia, Las dos doncellas and La española inglesa. The theme common to these is basically the traditional
one of the Byzantine novel: pairs of lovers separated by lamentable and complicated happenings are finally reunited
and find the happiness they have longed for. The heroines are all of most perfect beauty and of sublime morality; they and
their lovers are capable of the highest sacrifices, and they exert their souls in the effort to elevate themselves to the
ideal of moral and aristocratic distinction which illuminates their lives.
In El amante liberal, to cite an example, the beautiful Leonisa and her lover
Ricardo are carried off by Turkish pirates; both fight against serious material and moral dangers; Ricardo conquers all obstacles,
returns to his homeland with Leonisa, and is ready to renounce his passion and to hand Leonisa over to her former lover in
an outburst of generosity; but Leonisa's preference naturally settles on Ricardo in the end.
Another group of "exemplary" novels is formed by La fuerza de la sangre, La
ilustre fregona, La gitanilla, and El celoso extremeño. The first three offer examples of love and adventure
happily resolved, while the last unravels itself tragically. Its plot deals with the old Felipe Carrizales, who, after traveling
widely and becoming rich in America, decides to marry, taking all the precautions necessary to forestall being deceived. He
weds a very young girl and isolates her from the world by having her live in a house with no windows facing the street; but
in spite of his defensive measures, a bold youth succeeds in penetrating the fortress of conjugal honor, and one day Carrizales
surprises his wife in the arms of her seducer. Surprisingly enough he pardons the adulterers, recognizing that he is more
to blame than they, and dies of sorrow over the grievous error he has committed. Cervantes here deviated from literary tradition,
which demanded the death of the adulterers, but he transformed the punishment inspired by the social ideal of honour into a criticism of the responsibility of the individual.
Rinconete y Cortadillo, El casamiento engañoso, El licenciado
Vidriera and El coloquio de los perros, four works of art which are concerned more with the personalities of the
characters who figure in them than with the subject matter, form the final group of these stories. The protagonists are two
young vagabonds, Rincón and Cortado; Lieutenant Campuzano; a student, Tomás Rodaja, who goes mad and believes himself to have
been changed into a witty man of glass, offering Cervantes the opportunity to chain witty jokes; and finally two dogs, Cipión
and Berganza, whose wandering existence serves as a mirror for the most varied aspects of Spanish life. Rinconete y Cortadillo
is one of the most delightful of Cervantes' works. Its two young vagabonds come to Seville attracted by the riches and disorder that the sixteenth-century commerce with the Americas
had brought to that metropolis. There they come into contact with a brotherhood of thieves led by the unforgettable Monipodio,
whose house is the headquarters of the Sevillian underworld. Under the bright Andalusian sky, people and objects take form
with the brilliance and subtle drama of a Velazquez, and a distant and discreet irony endows the figures, insignificant in themselves, as
they move within a ritual pomp that is in sharp contrast with their morally deflated lives. When Monipodio appears, serious
and solemn among his silent subordinates, "all who were looking at him performed a deep, protracted bow." Rincón and Cortado
had initiated their mutual friendship beforehand "with saintly and praiseworthy ceremonies." The solemn ritual of this band
of ruffians is all the more comic for being concealed in Cervantes' drily humorous style.
[edit] Los trabajos de Persiles
y Sigismunda
Frontispiece of Persiles and Segismunda.
The romance of Persiles and Sigismunda, which Cervantes finished shortly before
his death, must be regarded as an interesting appendix to his other works. The language and the whole composition of the story
exhibit the purest simplicity, combined with singular precision and polish. The idea of this romance was not new, and scarcely
deserved to be reproduced in a new manner. But it appears that Cervantes, at the close of his glorious career, took a fancy
to imitate Heliodorus. He has maintained the interest of the situations, but the whole work is merely a romantic
description of travels, rich enough in fearful adventures, both by sea and land. Real and fabulous geography and history are
mixed together in an absurd and monstrous manner; and the second half of the romance, in which the scene is transferred to
Spain and Italy, does not exactly harmonize with the spirit of the first half.
[edit] Poetry
Some of his poems are found in La Galatea. He also wrote Dos canciones a la armada invencible. His best work, however, is found in the sonnets, particularly Al túmulo del rey Felipe en Sevilla. Among his most important poems, Canto de Calíope, Epístola a Mateo Vázquez, and the Viaje del Parnaso (Journey to Parnassus), (1614) stand out. The latter is his most ambitious work in verse, an allegory which consists largely of reviews of contemporary poets.
Compared to his ability as a novelist, Cervantes is often considered a mediocre poet,
although he himself always harbored a hope that he would be recognized for having poetic gifts.
[edit] Viaje del Parnaso
Frontispiece of the Viaje (1614).
The prose of the Galatea, which is in other respects so beautiful, is occasionally
overloaded with epithet. Cervantes displays a totally different kind of poetic talent in the Viaje del Parnaso, a work which cannot properly be ranked in any particular class of literary composition, but which, next to Don Quixote,
is considered by a few the most exquisite production of its author. Many critics, however, would argue with that, citing the
Novelas ejemplares and the Entemeses as the finest examples of his work next to Don Quixote.
[edit] Plays
Comparisons have also diminished the reputation of his plays, but two of them, El trato de Argel and La Numancia, (1582), made a big impact and were not surpassed until Lope de Vega appeared.
The first of these is written in five acts; based on his experiences as a Moorish captive, Cervantes dealt with the life of Christian slaves in Algiers. The other play,
Numancia is a description of the siege of Numantia by the Romans stuffed with horrors and described as utterly devoid
of the requisites of dramatic art.
Cervantes's later production consists of 16 dramatic works, among which are eight full-length
plays:
El gallardo español, Los baños de Argel, La gran sultana,
Doña Catalina de Oviedo, La casa de los celos, El laberinto del jamon, the cloak and dagger play La
Entretenida, El rufián dichoso, and finally, Pedro de Urdemalas, a sensitive play about a picaro
who joins a group of Gypsies for love of a girl.
He also wrote eight short farces (entremeses) : El juez de los divorcios,
El rufián viudo llamado Trampagos, La elección de los alcaldes de Daganzo, La guarda cuidadosa (The Vigilant
Sentinel), El vizcaíno fingido, El retablo de las maravillas, La cueva de Salamanca, and El viejo
celoso (The Jealous Old Man).
These plays and entremeses made up Ocho comedias y ocho entremeses nuevos, nunca representados (Eight Comedies and Eight New Interludes, Never Before Acted) , which appeared in 1615. Cervantes's entremeses, whose dates and order of composition are not known, must not
have been performed in their time. Faithful to the spirit of Lope de Rueda, Cervantes endowed them with novelistic elements
such as simplified plot, the type of description normally associated with the novel, and character development. The dialogue
is sensitive and agile.
Cervantes includes some of his dramas among those productions with which he was himself
most satisfied; and he seems to have regarded them with self-complacency in proportion to their neglect by the public. This
conduct has sometimes been attributed to a spirit of contradiction, and sometimes to vanity. That the penetrating and profound
Cervantes should have so mistaken the limits of his dramatic talent, would not be sufficiently accounted for, had he not unquestionably
proved by his tragedy of Numantia how pardonable was the self-deception of which he could not divest himself.
Cervantes was entitled to consider himself endowed with a genius for dramatic poetry;
but he could not preserve his independence in the conflict he had to maintain with the conditions required by the Spanish
public in dramatic composition; and when he sacrificed his independence, and submitted to rules imposed by others, his invention
and language were reduced to the level of a poet of inferior talent. The intrigues, adventures and surprises, which in that
age characterized the Spanish drama, were ill suited to the genius of Cervantes. His natural style was too profound and precise
to be reconciled to fantastical ideas, expressed in irregular verse. But he was Spaniard enough to be gratified with dramas,
which, as a poet, he could not imitate; and he imagined himself capable of imitating them, because he would have shone in
another species of dramatic composition, had the public taste accommodated itself to his genius.
====La Numancia====abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-
Main article: La Numancia
This play is a dramatization of the long and brutal siege of the Celtiberian town Numantia, Hispania, by the Roman forces of Scipio Africanus.
Cervantes invented along with the subject of his piece a peculiar style of tragic composition,
and in doing so, he did not pay much regard to the theory of Aristotle. His object was to produce a piece full of tragic situations,
combined with the charm of the marvellous. In order to accomplish this goal, Cervantes relied heavily on allegory and on mythological
elements.
The tragedy is written in conformity with no rules save those which the author prescribed
to himself; for he felt no inclination to imitate the Greek forms. The play is divided into four acts, (jornadas) and
no chorus is introduced. The dialogue is sometimes in tercets and sometimes in redondillas, and for the most part in octaves without any regard to rule.
[edit] Cervantes' historical
importance and influence
Cervantes: Image from a 19th century German book on the history of literature
Cervantes' novel Don Quixote has had a tremendous influence on the development
of prose fiction; it has been translated into all modern languages and has appeared in 700 editions. The first translation
was in English, made by Thomas Shelton in 1608, but not published until 1612. Shakespeare had evidently read Don Quixote, but it is most unlikely that Cervantes had ever
heard of Shakespeare. Carlos Fuentes raised the possibility that Cervantes and Shakespeare were the same person (see Shakespearean authorship question). Francis Carr has suggested that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays and Don Quixote.[15]
Don Quixote has been the subject of a variety of works in other fields
of art, including operas by the Italian composer Giovanni Paisiello, the French Jules Massenet, and the Spanish Manuel de Falla; a tone poem by the German composer Richard Strauss; a German film (1933) directed by G. W. Pabst and a Soviet film (1957) directed by Grigori Kozintsev; a ballet (1965) with choreography by George Balanchine; and an American musical, Man of La Mancha (1965), by Dale Wasserman, Mitch Leigh, and Joe Darion.
Its influence can be seen in the work of Smollett, Defoe, Fielding, and Sterne, as well as in the classic 19th-century novelists Scott, Dickens, Flaubert, Melville, and Dostoevsky, and in the works of James Joyce and Jorge Luis Borges.The theme also inspired the 19th-century French artists Honoré Daumier and Gustave Doré.
The Euro coins of €0.10, €0.20 and €0.50 made for Spain bear his portrait and signature.

The Circular Ruins
An experienced wizard retreats from the world to a location that possesses strong mystical
powers: the circular ruins. There, the wizard has but one goal: to make another human beings from his own dreams. Sleeping
and dreaming longer and longer each day, the magician dreams of his young man becoming educated, and becoming wiser. After
time, though, the wizard can no longer find sleep, and he deems his first attempt an inevitable failure. After many sleepless
nights, the wizard dreams of a heart; vaguely at first, but more and more clearly each night. Years pass and the wizard creates
the boy piece by piece, in agonizing detail. The wizard calls upon the god Fire to bring his creation to life. Fire agrees,
as long as the wizard accustoms his creation to the real world, and that only Fire and the wizard will be able to tell the
creation from a real human. Before deciding to bring the young man into the world, the magician decides to abandon his hopes,
and to sacrifice his life. As he ultimately walks into the flaming house of Fire, the wizards notices that his skin does not
burn. "With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he too was a mere appearance, dreamt by another."

No one saw him disembark in the unanimous night, no one saw the bamboo canoe sink into
the sacred mud, but in a few days there was no one who did not know that the taciturn man came from the South and that his
home had been one of those numberless villages upstream in the deeply cleft side of the mountain, where the Zend language
has not been contaminated by Greek and where leprosy is infrequent. What is certain is that the grey man kissed the mud, climbed
up the bank with pushing aside (probably, without feeling) the blades which were lacerating his flesh, and crawled, nauseated
and bloodstained, up to the circular enclosure crowned with a stone tiger or horse, which sometimes was the color of flame
and now was that of ashes. This circle was a temple which had been devoured by ancient fires, profaned by the miasmal jungle,
and whose god no longer received the homage of men. The stranger stretched himself out beneath the pedestal. He was awakened
by the sun high overhead. He was not astonished to find that his wounds had healed; he closed his pallid eyes and slept, not
through weakness of flesh but through determination of will. He knew that this temple was the place required for his invincible
intent; he knew that the incessant trees had not succeeded in strangling the ruins of another propitious temple downstream
which had once belonged to gods now burned and dead; he knew that his immediate obligation was to dream. Toward midnight he
was awakened by the inconsolable shriek of a bird. Tracks of bare feet, some figs and a jug warned him that the men of the
region had been spying respectfully on his sleep, soliciting his protection or afraid of his magic. He felt a chill of fear,
and sought out a sepulchral niche in the dilapidated wall where he concealed himself among unfamiliar leaves.
The purpose which guided him was not impossible, though supernatural. He wanted to dream
a man; he wanted to dream him in minute entirety and impose him on reality. This magic project had exhausted the entire expanse
of his mind; if someone had asked him his name or to relate some event of his former life, he would not have been able to
give an answer. This uninhabited, ruined temple suited him, for it is contained a minimum of visible world; the proximity
of the workmen also suited him, for they took it upon themselves to provide for his frugal needs. The rice and fruit they
brought him were nourishment enough for his body, which was consecrated to the sole task of sleeping and dreaming.
At first, his dreams were chaotic; then in a short while they became dialectic in nature.
The stranger dreamed that he was in the center of a circular amphitheater which was more or less the burnt temple; clouds
of taciturn students filled the tiers of seats; the faces of the farthest ones hung at a distance of many centuries and as
high as the stars, but their features were completely precise. The man lectured his pupils on anatomy, cosmography, and magic:
the faces listened anxiously and tried to answer understandingly, as if they guessed the importance of that examination which
would redeem one of them from his condition of empty illusion and interpolate him into the real world. Asleep or awake, the
man thought over the answers of his phantoms, did not allow himself to be deceived by imposters, and in certain perplexities
he sensed a growing intelligence. He was seeking a soul worthy of participating in the universe.
After nine or ten nights he understood with a certain bitterness that he could expect
nothing from those pupils who accepted his doctrine passively, but that he could expect something from those who occasionally
dared to oppose him. The former group, although worthy of love and affection, could not ascend to the level of individuals;
the latter pre-existed to a slightly greater degree. One afternoon (now afternoons were also given over to sleep, now he was
only awake for a couple hours at daybreak) he dismissed the vast illusory student body for good and kept only one pupil. He
was a taciturn, sallow boy, at times intractable, and whose sharp features resembled of those of his dreamer. The brusque
elimination of his fellow students did not disconcert him for long; after a few private lessons, his progress was enough to
astound the teacher. Nevertheless, a catastrophe took place. One day, the man emerged from his sleep as if from a viscous
desert, looked at the useless afternoon light which he immediately confused with the dawn, and understood that he had not
dreamed. All that night and all day long, the intolerable lucidity of insomnia fell upon him. He tried exploring the forest,
to lose his strength; among the hemlock he barely succeeded in experiencing several short snatchs of sleep, veined with fleeting,
rudimentary visions that were useless. He tried to assemble the student body but scarcely had he articulated a few brief words
of exhortation when it became deformed and was then erased. In his almost perpetual vigil, tears of anger burned his old eyes.
He understood that modeling the incoherent and vertiginous matter of which dreams are
composed was the most difficult task that a man could undertake, even though he should penetrate all the enigmas of a superior
and inferior order; much more difficult than weaving a rope out of sand or coining the faceless wind. He swore he would forget
the enormous hallucination which had thrown him off at first, and he sought another method of work. Before putting it into
execution, he spent a month recovering his strength, which had been squandered by his delirium. He abandoned all premeditation
of dreaming and almost immediately succeeded in sleeping a reasonable part of each day. The few times that he had dreams during
this period, he paid no attention to them. Before resuming his task, he waited until the moon's disk was perfect. Then, in
the afternoon, he purified himself in the waters of the river, worshiped the planetary gods, pronounced the prescribed syllables
of a mighty name, and went to sleep. He dreamed almost immediately, with his heart throbbing.
He dreamed that it was warm, secret, about the size of a clenched fist, and of a garnet
color within the penumbra of a human body as yet without face or sex; during fourteen lucid nights he dreampt of it with meticulous
love. Every night he perceived it more clearly. He did not touch it; he only permitted himself to witness it, to observe it,
and occasionally to rectify it with a glance. He perceived it and lived it from all angles and distances. On the fourteenth
night he lightly touched the pulmonary artery with his index finger, then the whole heart, outside and inside. He was satisfied
with the examination. He deliberately did not dream for a night; he took up the heart again, invoked the name of a planet,
and undertook the vision of another of the principle organs. Within a year he had come to the skeleton and the eyelids. The
innumerable hair was perhaps the most difficult task. He dreamed an entire man--a young man, but who did not sit up or talk,
who was unable to open his eyes. Night after night, the man dreamt him asleep.
In the Gnostic cosmosgonies, demiurges fashion a red Adam who cannot stand; as a clumsy,
crude and elemental as this Adam of dust was the Adam of dreams forged by the wizard's nights. One afternoon, the man almost
destroyed his entire work, but then changed his mind. (It would have been better had he destroyed it.) When he had exhausted
all supplications to the deities of earth, he threw himself at the feet of the effigy which was perhaps a tiger or perhaps
a colt and implored its unknown help. That evening, at twilight, he dreamt of the statue. He dreamt it was alive, tremulous:
it was not an atrocious bastard of a tiger and a colt, but at the same time these two firey creatures and also a bull, a rose,
and a storm. This multiple god revealed to him that his earthly name was Fire, and that in this circular temple (and in others
like it) people had once made sacrifices to him and worshiped him, and that he would magically animate the dreamed phantom,
in such a way that all creatures, except Fire itself and the dreamer, would believe to be a man of flesh and blood. He commanded
that once this man had been instructed in all the rites, he should be sent to the other ruined temple whose pyramids were
still standing downstream, so that some voice would glorify him in that deserted edifice. In the dream of the man that dreamed,
the dreamed one awoke.
The wizard carried out the orders he had been given. He devoted a certain length of
time (which finally proved to be two years) to instructing him in the mysteries of the universe and the cult of fire. Secretly,
he was pained at the idea of being separated from him. On the pretext of pedagogical necessity, each day he increased the
number of hours dedicated to dreaming. He also remade the right shoulder, which was somewhat defective. At times, he was disturbed
by the impression that all this had already happened . . . In general, his days were happy; when he closed his eyes, he thought:
Now I will be with my son. Or, more rarely: The son I have engendered is waiting for me and will not exist if I do not go
to him.
Gradually, he began accustoming him to reality. Once he ordered him to place a flag
on a faraway peak. The next day the flag was fluttering on the peak. He tried other analogous experiments, each time more
audacious. With a certain bitterness, he understood that his son was ready to be born--and perhaps impatient. That night he
kissed him for the first time and sent him off to the other temple whose remains were turning white downstream, across many
miles of inextricable jungle and marshes. Before doing this (and so that his son should never know that he was a phantom,
so that he should think himself a man like any other) he destroyed in him all memory of his years of apprenticeship.
His victory and peace became blurred with boredom. In the twilight times of dusk and
dawn, he would prostrate himself before the stone figure, perhaps imagining his unreal son carrying out identical rites in
other circular ruins downstream; at night he no longer dreamed, or dreamed as any man does. His perceptions of the sounds
and forms of the universe became somewhat pallid: his absent son was being nourished by these diminution of his soul. The
purpose of his life had been fulfilled; the man remained in a kind of ecstasy. After a certain time, which some chronicles
prefer to compute in years and others in decades, two oarsmen awoke him at midnight; he could not see their faces, but they
spoke to him of a charmed man in a temple of the North, capable of walking on fire without burning himself. The wizard suddenly
remembered the words of the god. He remembered that of all the creatures that people the earth, Fire was the only one who
knew his son to be a phantom. This memory, which at first calmed him, ended by tormenting him. He feared lest his son should
meditate on this abnormal privilege and by some means find out he was a mere simulacrum. Not to be a man, to be a projection
of another man's dreams--what an incomparable humiliation, what madness! Any father is interested in the sons he has procreated
(or permitted) out of the mere confusion of happiness; it was natural that the wizard should fear for the future of that son
whom he had thought out entrail by entrail, feature by feature, in a thousand and one secret nights.
His misgivings ended abruptly, but not without certain forewarnings. First (after a
long drought) a remote cloud, as light as a bird, appeared on a hill; then, toward the South, the sky took on the rose color
of leopard's gums; then came clouds of smoke which rusted the metal of the nights; afterwards came the panic-stricken flight
of wild animals. For what had happened many centuries before was repeating itself. The ruins of the sanctuary of the god of
Fire was destroyed by fire. In a dawn without birds, the wizard saw the concentric fire licking the walls. For a moment, he
thought of taking refuge in the water, but then he understood that death was coming to crown his old age and absolve him from
his labors. He walked toward the sheets of flame. They did not bite his flesh, they caressed him and flooded him without heat
or combustion. With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he also was an illusion, that someone else was
dreaming him.

The God's Script
Imprisoned, the last surviving member of a mystic religion passes his time by trying
to remember every detail of his life. After years of this process, the man remembers an obscure bit of knowledge: when the
gods created the world, they foresaw its demise, and they created a single sentence that could be uttered that would prevent
the end of the world. The sentence is encoded somewhere on the earth, and it will never change. The man tries to fathom the
possible places the message could appear: mountains, earth, on his own face, or even on the fur of the jaguar in the cell
next to him--the message passed down from generation to generation of animals; always preserved. Certain that the jaguar is
the key, and that he, being the last of his religion, is the one who is to interpret the code, the prisoner devotes all his
time to solving the mystery. He dozes off, and notices a grain of sand in his cell. Later two, then three, and so forth until
the sand is so deep that he is suffocating in it. As he was dying, someone said to him that escape from the dream was futile,
since he could only return to a previous dream, which were equal in number to the grains of sand. The prisoner professed:
"A sand of dreams cannot kill me nor are there dreams within dreams." He awakens, and is surrounded by rings of fire and ice.
The mystery becomes clear to him, and he comes to understand the design on the jaguar's back. He understands the words that
will make him omnipotent and immortal. Yet, he does not say them, for he has forgotten who he himself is, and he lets himself
die in the prison.

The Secret Miracle
Jaromir Hladik, scholar of linguistics and Judaism, dreams. He dreams that he is part of a generations-long
chess game with unknown, but certainly severe consequences. He has come of age, and it is time for him to make his move. Shortly
after Jaromir awakens from his slumber, he is taken away by the Germans, and is shortly to be executed. While in captivity,
he images all the excruciatingly painful ways that he could possibly be executed; he is certain that if he imagines a method
of death, it could not truly happen to him. Later, he realizes that his masterpiece is still incomplete, so he prays to God
for one more year to finish his work. In a dream, God tells him that his wish has been granted. The next morning, Jeromir
is led outside to be shot, and the guns are aimed at him. Minutes later, he realizes that the guns have not yet been fired.
He opens his eyes and sees that everything is perfectly still. He comes to understand that his wish really has been granted
his wish, and time is frozen for one year. While no record of his work can possibly be kept, Jaromir painstakingly edits and
revises his play until it is perfect. At that exact moment, time unfreezes, and he is killed.

The Waiting
A man checks into a hotel under the name Villari; the name of his enemy. While lodging
there, he takes extreme measures to ensure that he is seen by no one. Very infrequently, he will see a movie, although he
will still sit in the last row, and leave before the film reaches its entirety. Only once does he encounter another person,
by bumping into them in the street. He pretends that he does not know the person, and returns to the solitude of the hotel.
Many night, he dreams that he is found by his enemy, who is accompanied by two other men. While he sleeps, the pursuers shoot
him. The sound of the gunshot wakes the false Villari from his dream, only to bring him back to the same bed and the same
dream, over and over again. After a couple weeks pass, a knock finally comes on the door. Villari is faced with his executor
and his two assistants. He lies in bed, and falls asleep, waiting to be once again saved by his recursive dreams.

The Zahir
Towards the beginning of this very short story, Borges is at a bar. Upon receiving his
change, he notices that he has a coin that he had never seen before. Instead of returning it, though, the ever-curious Borges
kept it, and then eventually used it to make a purchase in the future. Weeks later, on a whim, Borges decides to research
the coin to discover its origins. Success eludes Borges, but the mystery of this coin with its Tiger design continue to plague
Borges mind—so much in fact that he becomes distracted from all the rest of his work. In a final attempt to purge his
mind and his dreams of this coin, Borges happens upon another book, which does make reference of the coin. The book speaks
of a mystical coin with a Tiger design that forever imprints itself into the beholder’s mind. So dangerous is the coin,
the Zahir, that its former owner had thrown it into the sea to try and rid his mind of it. Nothing would work, however, and
day by day, the beholder of the coin could remember less and less, except for the burning image of the coin, until only that
image remains, and all other cognition is lost.

The Immortal
Towards the beginning of this story, some military refugees find their way to Borges’
camp. While they are exhausted and wounded almost to the point of death, they still manage to convey the story of a secret
river whose water offers immortality. Intrigued, Borges takes a few loyal soldiers and some mercenaries on a search for the
river. After weeks of fruitless searching, Borges’ troops plan mutiny, but he escapes, and continues his search alone.
Before succumbing to death himself, Borges discovers a secret entrance in a mountain. The path inside leads into a giant labyrinth:
rooms of seven doors each, with six of them leading backwards, and only one leading deeper into the maze. After a countless
number of rooms, Borges finally finds his way out of the maze into an even more perplexing kingdom of mystery. He is convinced
that this is the kingdom constructed by the immortals, although it is abandoned now. Borges therefore moves on to search for
the immortals, and their secrets. Eventually he comes across a tribe of primitive men, who are incapable of language, speech,
or hardly even movement. One night, it pours, and the rain stimulates the tribesmen to move out of their normal positions.
At this point, Borges decides to try to make contact with one of them, and to teach him a couple basic words. After weeks
of trial, however, the man whom Borges names Argos, after the dog of Ulysses, makes no progress. Finally, without any warning,
Argos reveals that he can in fact speak. He professes to be the author of the Odyssey, Homer. Borges quickly comes to realize
that Homer (Argos) and his fellow tribesmen, and even Borges himself, are the immortals. At this point, Borges ponders the
many implications of being truly immortal, including the reality that an immortal will do everything eventually, and that
time no longer has any relevance. After time, Borges and Argos part, and the former devotes his life to searching for the
river that removes immortality. Eventually, he succeeds, and he dies a satisfying death.

Theme of the Traitor and the Hero
A story is told of a few Irish rebels. While plotting their newest campaign, the leader
of the rebels is killed by one of his subordinates—one of his most trusted fellow rebels. Consequently, another one
his friends tried to give him a message of his pending doom, but the message was ill received. Borges notes that the careful
reader will notice the similarity between this story and that of Julius Ceasar. This is no coincidence. In fact, every event
is history has its parallel in literature, and vice versa. All of history is simply a combination of repeating themes; in
this case the theme of the traitor and the hero. What we perceive as free will is nothing of the sort; we are all just characters
acting out one or more predetermined themes.
