Here are some letters that were sent my way.

From: Jonathan David B-yne <boyne@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: latest wanderer "first contact"
Subject: I just don't know
To: boyne@xxxxxxxxxx
J-dy, in 1998 I was introduced to a man who said
he had been abducted in the 70's. Through
regression and "other means" he told me he had been
in a fight with Ra over Ra's daughter and was
banished to earth where he and he and others built
the pyramids. This man, John C-ark, was introduced
to me by Senator Ben K-ighthorse C-mpbell who said
he thought I really needed to get to know John.
John later said that the three of us were
martians. All of this came from a man who wore a
suit and worked on capitol hill in DC.
At about the same time, a broken down,
alchoholic vietnam vet named Gary, had the most
profound s-iritual awakening that I still can not
believe it even though I saw the transformation
and saw the border-line skid row marine suddenly
accompanied by 5 enormous Indian body guards. He
now carries a staff during Mayan rituals attended
by the former head of the World Bank, Mr.
W-lfens----.
Both the Indian and John warned me to find a
s-iritual path for some great calamity was
coming. That was ten years ago and suddenly I
find myself drawn to websites like yours looking
for answers.
I read some of your site but frankly, I find
it incomprehensible. I feel torn and if the
books you suggest reading are anything like your
website, they will be of no help to me. Just
let me know if you think there could be any
truth to the John Cl-rk story.
.......
Hi S-eve,
Finally finding some time to get back to you.
If this is the same John Cla-k, I find him
listed as a speaker at the upcoming February-
March 2008 International Ufo Congress in
Laughlin Nevada and his bio reads:
----
http://www.ufocongress.com/speakers.html
John Cla-k is an investigative reporter. He
has written many articles and conducted many
investigations including the attack on the
p-ntagon. John is also a c-ngressional liaison
and a documentary film maker.
Pozan is a true story about how John Clark
lived in sheer terror for ten years after a
close encounter, while on a camping trip with
family and friends near the Mojave Desert.
Many bizarre things happened to John during
that ten year period including winning an
airplane on a slot machine at a Lake Tahoe
casino and then finding out months later that
a UFO was hovering over the casino where he had
won the airplane!
----
Hypnotic regression can elicit accurate
information though it can also be mixed with
other psychological material, and John's
recollections might be a bit of a mix. My
understanding is that the Mars population
did r-incarnate to Earth several thousand
years ago after they destroyed their
biosphere in w-rs, so many people on Earth
have some vague recollections and a sense of
association with Mars.
These refugees did have much to do with
past periods of earth history, and John may
well have been in Egypt and had conflicts over
a woman, though the part about her being Ra's
daughter may or may not be accurate - one
for the 'who knows?' shelf.
My understanding is that a society that
had lived its human (3rd dimensional) period
on Venus in the far past when it was hospitable
to life, evolved over millions of years
through the 4th, 5th and into the 6th
dimensional developmental stage, and helped
and continues to help Mars and Earth people
during their development.
This society also helped the Egyptians,
and took the name Ra which was the Egyptians'
name for their sun g-d and the closest
conception they had to the concept of unity,
which was a concept the higher dimensional
society hoped to help the Egyptians develop
so as to reduce conflict and make positive
progress.
If you're familiar with the chakras, the
7 main body energy centers, the dimensions
are the same structure, and not only
individuals but also societies and planets
themselves go through these stages of
development over millions of years. Earth
and Earth society are now at the end of their
3D stage, the solar plexus, having to do
with what psychology calls the social self
or ego. Earth is entering the 4th stage, the
heart, having to do with the development of
compassion. Both Freud and human society
have had difficulty moving 'above the belt'!
R-ligions are having the same difficulty
progressing, stuck in the Old T-stament
preoccupation with laws rather than moving into
New Te-tament forgiveness.
In psychology these are described as stages
of moral development - in the earlier stage
people obey moral laws so as to avoid negative
consequences, while in more advanced stages,
individuals have developed an inner moral
sense that can make choices independently of
their social-tribal group, especially when
the group majority may be in the wrong, as
in mob behavior and unjustified wa-.
Not all on Earth are ready to develop
into the 4D stage, just as people take different
time periods to go through the normal stages of
human development of a single lifetime. We know
that humans are capable of acting in a
consistently compassionate manner, but relatively
few do, yet. Those continuing in the 3D stage will
re-ncarnate on other 3D worlds as Earth enters
more fully into 4D.
And up to that point we'll see increasing good
and bad actions. There are people on Earth who
have inc-rnated here from many different planets,
not only from Mars, which makes for more conflict
than a monocultural society.
As to your finding a sp-ritual path, I like
the Indian saying that you ride the horse in the
direction it's going. Once we start seeking, we
tend to find what we need. I don't recommend
books or practices unless I'm asked for material
on a specific subject, and I always tell people
to trust their intuitions. Books and practices
have a way of finding us. And we are all members
of some team, and have what I like to call a
pit crew of unseen beings whose advice we can
keep an ear open for. It's no s-cret the near
future will be uncertain and changing, but
many of us go where we feel called to live
and work and can try to trust that.
Circumstances arise as people and society
make their choices and we encounter
situations and people our individual
abilities can help.
Point being that we need not plan too much.
That said, my plan is to move to our family's
place on an island in British Columbia and live
as sustainably as possible! Let me know if I
can ramble on about anything more specific.
The main thing is to try to help others as we
feel called to and do no harm, remembering we're
all part of a whole.
Aloha, J-dy
Holy C-ap, that is John alright. How strange
to see his name. I remember him showing me the
Pozan script in 1998. I went into network news
and reality programming after the bar biz and
he spoke to me about shooting something for him.
That's about the time he left and I changed
direction into television. Your response to
my questions are very much appreciated though,
I must say a little beyond the scope of my
knowledge. Perhaps most comforting is the
idea that resources will come available as
needed. I have had a powerful urge to begin
storing supplies and if possible, building a
fortified retreat. I try to not allow the
nagging fear to get in the way of going about
my business but I am afraid for my family
on a physical level but ironically, I feel
as if something positive is happening to me
on sp-ritual level. I at night when I
meditate, I used to feel as if my s-ul
filled up the room and stopped at the ceiling.
Now I go right through the ceiling up into
space and look down on virginia as if I
were in a sattelite.
Two weeks ago, I rushed my 1 year old
daughter to the ER. She was having seizures.
The doctors could not stop them. I went into
meditation and felt myself expanding. It
truly drained me but it worked. I went
from total fear to such a state of serenity
that I was also able to sooth my frantic
wife. I tried to explain to her what I did
but she thinks I am nuts and does not like
speaking about aliens, world change or
other strange topics.
How shall I start educating myself so I
may understand what you are speaking about
as far as 3D, 4D, chakras etc.? Thanks
again.

Hi S-eve,
I found John's book at Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Pozan-John-Clark/dp/1599758008
Which has a "Search inside this book" feature
I used to search for pages according to words
in interesting chapter titles. Curiously, some
pages were not available "for s-curity reasons",
such as those having to do with the C-A's Dr.
H-tcher. John's experience may have been contact
with negative ETs, with hallmarks of fear,
intimidation and abridgement of his free will,
ie the 'abduction' rather than the positive ET
'contact' scenario in which free will is respected
and any fear is avoided as much as possible.
I know what you mean about wanting to stock
supplies and 'circle the wagons' and many feel
similarly. I've read quite a lot along the
spectrum about this and the most reasonable
suggestion is to live in an area with enough
resources and a small enough population size
that allows people to know and support each
other, like a relatively self-sufficient
semi-rural community. It's been said that
while r-fles are useful for hunting, though
there will always be someone with more g-ns.
Also, that the issue is spi-itual integrity,
over physical survival, saving the sou- over
the body and all that. Better to share food
than s-oot the hungry who might steal it.
Our island in British Columbia has around
10,000 people, many with a variety of
practical know-how, and I hope to learn.
I think and hope we'll see a 'medium'
landing of society and the economy rather
than a hard one, so that the necessary
infrastructure and adjustments can be done.

Here is a discussion about chakras.
.................................................
.................................................
Your experience of expansion beyond the body
helps with our fears for our physical lives
(somewhat!) and gives us a knowing that we are
more, and have more to look forward to (return
to). That type of experience is how we are at
the 6th chakra, the single eye and sight that
sees and begins to experience unity. The 1st
chakra at the base of the spine is what Freud
identified as aggression, but more accurately
matters of physical survival and bodily health.
The 2nd, genital, chakra has to do with physical
sexuality and our sense of personal self. 3rd,
solar plexus chakra is close to what is often
called the 'ego' and has to do with our social
self, our relations to our 'tribes' and
community. 4th chakra, heart, is the first
spiritual stage, having to do with learning
compassion. 5th or throat has to do with
speaking and freely and truthfully and
hearing openly. In the 6th we see ourselves
and others as one, and in the 7th we
experience that fully.
Here's a page with some discussion and
excerpts about each chakra:
http://www.llresearch.org/homecomings/homecoming_2006/
homecoming_2006.htm
Practically, it's mostly useful to know
that we and others may act on a variety of
levels, sometimes for personal survival
and gain, sometimes out of loyalty to tribe
and group, and less often, out of selfless
compassion and unity. We see and will see
increasing selfish and selfless actions in
the near future. In difficult times, some
hoard, some loot, some share. Hoarding for
self and tribe is 'normal' 3rd chakra, 3D
behavior. Looting is on the path of
service-to-self development, a viable path
through 5th chakra / 5D. Eventually,
controlling all others and resources to
serve self requires too much energy, is
realized to be inefficient, and those on
the negative path let go their separation
and rejoin the positive mainstream.
Sharing is the next stage of positive
human development, and earth is beecoming
a positive 4D planet, on which will soon
be only positive, 4th chakra awakened
people in 4D bodies. In my understanding,
the 3D bodies most of us are in will pass
in the usual ways. And that there are some
who have recently graduated into 4D who are
being born in recent years into combination
3/4D bodies who are sometimes called Starkids
or Indigo Children, with unusual understanding
and sometimes paranormal abilities. These
are/will give birth to children in fully 4D
bodies who will be the 4D population of earth.
There are also 'wanderers' to earth from
4D, 5D and 6D who have been here to try to
help during this period of transition. These
are the folks I tend to hear from and that
my site was largely meant to reach. All
beings go through the same developmental
stages, and wanderers haven't yet fully
entered into a state of unity, we just are
able to sometimes. We try to share that
and do whatever else we can to help, whether
baking, counseling, nursing, etc. 6th chakra
is also our sense of intuition, that we can
tune into to get a sense of who, when and
how to help, and where and when to go
somewhere or do something. I'm big on
intuition, though I worry as much as anyone,
so join the club.
So off now from the library to home, our
little place here near the university, where
our selfish old bat of a landlady has a
severe case of empty nest syndrome and
wants us to move out because she wants
company but we're too busy working and
paying the rent. We shall see...
Write anytime, Aloha, Jo-y

1. The Imperishable Sacred Land
Theosophy teaches that a series of seven
root-r-ces or humanities will develop during
the present fourth round of the earth's e-olution.
The first humanity is said to have appeared
in the mid-Paleozoic, about 150 million years
ago (according to the theosophical timescale),
and we are currently in the fifth. Each lives
on its own 'continent', a word referring not
only to the main continental area where the
ev-lution of a root-ra-e takes place but also
to all the dry land that exists during the
life-period a particular root-r-ce. Just as
the root-ra-es overlap, so parts of the
continents of one root-rac- become
incorporated into the continental system
of the next [1].
The first continent is known as the
Imperishable Sacred Land and is the most
mysterious of the seven continents. It
is said to be located in the region of
the north pole.
This 'S-cred Land' . . . is stated never
to have shared the fate of the other
continents; because it is the only one whose
destiny it is to last from the beginning
to the end of the Manvantara throughout
each Round. It is the cradle of the first
man and the dwelling of the last d-vine
mortal, chosen as a Shishta for the future
seed of humanity. Of this mysterious and
sa-red land very little can be said,
except, perhaps, according to a poetical
expression in one of the Commentaries,
that the 'polestar has its watchful eye
upon it, from the dawn to the close of
the twilight of "a day" of the GREAT
BREATH' [In India called 'The Day of
Brahma.']. [2]
The statement that the first continent
never sinks or perishes is repeated
many times, and this characteristic
distinguishes it from the other continents
[3].
The first continent surrounded and
included the north pole and extended
somewhat southwards from the pole in
seven different zones, like the leaves
of a lotus. These zones included Greenland,
Spitzbergen, Sweden, Norway, and Siberia,
together with other former land areas
in the far north that have since been
submerged.
The central locality of the first
continent was right at the north pole.
H.P. B-avatsky writes:
If, then, the teaching is understood
correctly, the first continent which
came into existence capped over the
whole North Pole like one unbroken
crust, and remains so to this day,
beyond that inland sea which seemed
like an unreachable mirage to the few
arctic travellers who perceived it. [4]
G. de Purucker drew attention to the
phrase 'If, then, the teaching is
understood correctly', and pointed out that
Blavatsky was not permitted to give out
all she had been taught [5].
If the earth is hollow, as Bl-vatsky's
review of The Hollow Globe by Lyon and
Sherman implies, then the first continent
could refer to two different things: the
polar land on the outer surface of the
earth, and the sa-red central land or
'inner circle' in the earth's interior,
which will continue to exist until the
earth reaches the end of its life-period.
Likewise, terms such as 'the blessed
land of eternal light and summer' and
'the land of the eternal sun'[6] could
refer either to the polar land at a
time when the earth's axis was more or less
upright and the polar regions were in
sunlight, or to the inner central land if
the earth's interior is self-luminous or
contains a central sun.
2. Shambhala
Tibetan sacred texts speak of a mystical
kingdom called Shambhala, hidden behind
snow peaks somewhere north of Tibet, where
the most sacred Buddhist teachings -- the
Kalachakra or Wheel of Time -- are preserved.
It is prophesied that a future king of
Shambhala will come with a great army to
free the world from barbarism and tyranny,
and will usher in a golden age.
Similarly, the Hindu Puranas say that a
future world redeemer -- the kalki-avatara,
the tenth and final manifestation of Vishnu
-- will come from Shambhala. Both the Hindu
and Buddhist traditions say it contains a
magnificent central palace radiating a
powerful, diamondlike light.
The mythical paradise of Shambhala is
known under many different names:
It has been called the Forbidden Land,
the Land of White Waters . .;, the Land
of Radiant Spirits, the Land of Living
Fire, the Land of the Living Gods and
the Land of Wonders. Hindus have known
it as Aryavarsha, the land from which
the Vedas come; the Chinese as Hsi Tien,
the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu,
the Royal Mother of the West; the
Russian Old Believers, a nineteenth-century
Christian sect, knew it as Belovodye and
the Kirghiz people as Janaidar. But
throughout Asia it is best known by its
Sanskrit name, Shambhala, meaning 'the
place of peace, of tranquillity,' or as
Chang Shambhala, northern Shambhala,
the name Hindus use to distinguish it
from an Indian town of the same name. .
At the end of his life the Chinese Taoist
teacher Lao-Tzu, returned to Shambhala,
although he called it Tebu Land. .It is
regarded by most esoteric traditions as
the true center of the planet, as the
world's spiritual powerhouse and the
heartland of a brotherhood of adepts from
every race and country who have been
influential in every major religion,
every scientific advance and every social
movement in history. [1]
Buddhist texts say that Shambhala can
be reached only by a long and difficult
journey across a wilderness of deserts
and mountains, and warn that only those
who are called and have the necessary
spiritual preparation will be able to
find it; others will find only blinding
storms, empty mountains, or even death.
One text says that the kingdom of Shambhala
is round, but it is usually depicted as an
eight-petalled lotus blossom -- a symbol
of the heart chakra. Indeed, an old
Tibetan story states that 'The kingdom of
Shambhala is in your own heart.' As Edwin
Bernbaum points out, the guidebooks to
Shambhala, whose puzzling directions are a
mixture of realism and fantasy, can be
read, on one level, as 'instructions for
taking an inner journey from the familiar
world of the surface consciousness
through the wilds of the subconscious to
the hidden sanctuary of the superconscious'
[2].
The Land of Shambhala.
In the center are Mount Meru and the
King's palace, surrounded by 8 petal-shaped
regions with their 96 principalities.
Nevertheless, the idea that Shambhala is
also located in the material world is firmly
rooted in Tibetan tradition. Opinions on
where the kingdom might lie, however, differ
markedly.
Some Tibetans think it might be in Tibet,
perhaps in the Kunlun mountains; more point
toward the region around Mongolia and
Sinkiang province of China; but most believe
that Shambhala is in Siberia or some other
part of Russia.
Some lamas believe it is hidden in the
desolate, uninhabited wastes of the Arctic.
According to Lama Kunga Rimpoche, 'Shambhala
is probably at the North Pole, since the
North Pole is surrounded by ice, and
Shambhala is surrounded by ice mountains.'
Finally, a few lamas believe that
Shambhala exists outside the earth on
another planet or in another 'dimension'
[3].
Bernbaum once had a dream of going with
a guide to the north pole. As they
approached the pole, the air became warmer
and the snow cover thinner until there
was only grassy tundra, flowers, and a
balmy breeze. Finally they came to a round
pond with a small island that had a pole
right at the center. He turned to his guide
and protested, 'But this is impossible!
This can't be the north pole; there's
supposed to be ice and snow up here.' The
guide merely pointed at the island and
said with a smile, 'There's the pole.'
Bernbaum related his dream to Lama
Chopgye Trichen Rimpoche, who remarked:
'That may have been the entrance to
Shambhala' [4].
The Russian artist, philosopher, and
explorer Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947)
travelled through China and Mongolia
to the borders of Tibet in 1925-1928.
During a conversation with a lama, he
was told: 'Great Shambhala is far beyond
the ocean. It is the mighty heavenly
domain. It has nothing to do with our
Earth. .
Only in some places, in the Far North, can you
discern the resplendent rays of Shambhala.'
When pressed by Roerich, the lama conceded that
the heavenly Shambhala had an earthly counterpart.
Indeed, the expression 'the resplendent rays of
Shambhala' seems to be a reference to the aurora
that manifests in the polar region. But the
lama also described Shambhala as a 'far-off
valley', hidden in the midst of high mountains,
with hot springs and rich vegetation.
The lama stated that the ruler of Shambhala
is 'ever vigilant in the cause of mankind':
he sees all the events of earth in his 'magic
mirror' and 'the might of his thought penetrates
into far-off lands'. He continued: 'Uncountable
are the inhabitants of Shambhala. Numerous
are the splendid new forces and achievements
which are being prepared there for humanity.'
The lama confirmed that messengers from
Shambhala are at work in the world, and that
even the ruler himself sometimes appears in
human form. He stressed that the secrets of
Shambhala are well guarded, and that it is
impossible for anybody to reach Shambhala
unless their karma is ready and they are
called [5].
The modern theosophical tradition, too,
recognizes that Shambhala is a real place:
Part 1.
John Winston. johnfw@xxxxxxxxx
Subject: The Inner Earth. Part 2. Feb. 17, 2008.
This talks about where the place is.
..................................................
..................................................
Shambhala . . although no erudite Orientalist has yet
succeeded in locating it geographically, is an actual
land or district, the seat of the greatest brotherhood
of s-iritual adepts and their chiefs on earth today.
From Shambhala at certain times in the history of theworld, or more accurately of our own fifth root-r-ce,
come forth the messengers or envoys for sp-ritual
and intellectual work among men.
This Great Brotherhood has branches in various
parts of the world, but Shambhala is the center or
chief lodge. We may tentatively locate it in a
little-known and remote district of the high
tablelands of central Asia, more particularly in
Tibet. [6]
It is surrounded by an akashic veil of invisibility;
and an a-my of airplanes might fly over it and
see it not. All the ar-ies of all the nations on
earth might pass it by and not know that it existed.
It is quite an extensive tract of country. .
In it are gathered some of the most valuable
records of the human r-ce.
There, surrounded by the greatest and most
evolved human beings, the Silent Watcher of the
Earth has his invisible abode. [7]
Shambhala, our 'spi-itual home', is said in
theosophy to comprise two localities on earth.
One of them is 'situated in the highlands of
Asia, somewhere to the westward of the meridian
line passing through Lhassa' [8].
Long ago, this locality was a s-cred island
in a vast Central Asian inland sea, known as
the 'abyss of learning' or 'sea of knowledge',
and was accessible via subterranean passages.
According to tradition, this place exists
to this day as an oasis surrounded by the Gobi
desert [9].
But there is also another h-ly locality,
alluded to in all the great exoteric r-ligions:
This spot is the summit of what in the Hindu
Puranas is called Shveta-dvipa, Mount Meru or
Sumeru. It is the north pole of the earth,
so chosen not for its geographical qualities,
if such there be, but on account of its
astronomical position. .;. It is the mystical
north pole, geographically identical with the
north pole of the earth, but mystically quite
different . [10]
In other words, Shambhala, in one of its
meanings, is the Sa-red Imperishable Land.
Theosophical literature also states that there
is an even higher Shambhala located in the sun,
and that all these different localities are
inhabited by classes of entities with which
the human rac- is spirit-ally and intellectually
connected.
Bearing in mind that the Central Asian
Shambhala is said to be protected by an
'akashic veil' which renders it invisible and
impenetrable, it is interesting to note that
in the review of The Hollow Earth, B-avatsky
suggests that explorers may have been prevented
from penetrating further north into what was
then suspected to be an open polar sea by
'the exercise of some o-cult power'. This
could be interpreted to mean that there is
something in the northern polar region that is
being concealed -- not by a m-litary/g-vernment
c-nspiracy, but by oc-ult forces.
3. A northern paradise
Traditions of a paradisiacal, primeval land
in the far north are universal. Sometimes this
sacred land is said to be located in the `center'
or 'navel' of the earth. In one sense, this
refers to the north pole, which appears to
be in the 'center' of the earth if the planet
is viewed from above the pole. But clearly
such expressions could also refer to the earth's
interior. The northern paradise is often
associated with a world tree, a world mountain
or pillar from which four rivers emerge, and
a world-engirdling serpent. The pillar,
mountain, or tree links our own 'middle earth'
with the upper and lower worlds [1].
All these symbolic features can be interpreted
on different levels -- terrestrial, astronomical,
and spi-itual.
The Scandinavian tree of life (Yggdrasil), growing
on the cosmic mountain [2].
In Hindu mythology Meru* is the mystical mountain
at the center of the world, where Indra, king of
the g-ds, has his jewelled palace. Victoria LePage
points out that 'Mount Meru is conceived of as the
earth's navel as well as its central staff, its
source of life and power spreading out from the
central region to the eight outer zones, and from
thence to the world' [3].
The symbolism here is derived from embryology: just
as the embryo grows from the navel outwards, so does
the earth. 'Meru' actually has several different
meanings, including a mountain in Asia, the north
geographical pole, the north celestial pole, the
earth's spin axis, the world axis connecting
earth to higher realms, and the cerebrospinal axis
of the human body.
*Like the Egyptians and the Akkadians, the Indians
conceived of two opposed polar mounts: the arctic
Meru, known as Sumeru (su = good, beautiful), was
the dwelling of the go-s, and the antarctic Meru, or
Kumeru (ku = bad, miserable), was the dwelling of
the d-mons.
Meru, the Olympus of the Indians, is said to be
situated in the centre or navel of the earth. It was
guarded by serpents, which 'watched the entrance to
the realm of Se-ret Knowledge'.

Here they talk about underground tunnels.
....................................................
....................................................
According to tradition, it was the 'land of
bliss' of the earliest Vedic times. O-cult
teachings 'place it in the very center of the North
Pole, pointing it out as the site of the first
continent on our earth, after the solidification
of the globe' [4].
In the ancient astronomical text Surya-Siddhanta
(12:34), Meru is described as 'passing through the
middle of the earth-globe, and protruding on either
side' [5].
H.P. B-avatsky says that 'Meru is not "the
fabulous mountain in the navel or center of the
earth," but its roots and foundations are in that
navel, though it is in the far north itself. This
connects it with the "central" land "that never
perishes". [6].
Just as the human body contains a series of
chakras, or subtle energy centres, linked by the
sushumna, a central channel in the spinal cord,
so there may be corresponding energy centers on
and in the body of the earth. Shambhala is
sometimes described as the main power center,
with auxiliary centers scattered about the globe
[7].
In theosophy, the heart of mother earth is said
to beat 'under the foot of sacred Shambhala',
and we are told:
O-cult teaching corroborates the popular
tradition which asserts the existence of a
fountain of life in the bowels of the earth
and in the North Pole. It is the b-ood of the
earth, the electro-magnetic current, which
circulates through all the arteries; and which
is said to be found stored in the 'navel' of
the earth. [8]
This inner reservoir of physical and
psychospiritual life-forces may correspond in
one sense to the root-chakra (muladhara chakra)
in the human body, situated at the base of the
spine. From this viewpoint, Meru represents the
central duct or path of terrestrial kundalini
or shakti running through the earth [9].
Some Hebrew legends speak of a place called
Luz -- an underground city near a sacred mountain
called the 'abode of immortality'. An almond
tree, named luz in Hebrew, grew near it, a
hollow in its roots leading down to the
underground center.
Reno Guonon saw this as another version of the
archetypal mountain/tree/cave complex symbolizing
Shambhala. He stated that the real significance
of Luz is that it corresponds in planetary
terms to the muladhara chakra, whose kabalistic
name in Hebrew is luz. The name derives from a
root word denoting that which is concealed,
s-cret, and silent; it also connotes a kernel
-- the innermost part of the almond. The most
common iconographic depiction of Shambhala is
similar to the four-spoked muladhara chakra,
the subtle 'earth-center' in the human body [10].
In his book "Paradise Found", William Warren
writes: The earliest inhabitants of the
Tigro-Euphrates basin located 'the Center of
the Earth,' "not in their own midst", but in
a far-off land, of sacred associations, where
'the holy house of g-d' is situated, -- a land
'into the heart whereof man hath not penetrated;'
a place underneath the 'overshadowing
world-tree,' and beside the 'full waters.' No
description could more perfectly identify the
spot with the Arctic Pole of ancient Asiatic
mythology. [11]
In The Chaldean Account of G-nesis, we read:
'Human beings . The great go-s created, and
in the earth the -ods created for them a
dwelling. . In the midst of the earth they
grew up and became great, and increased in number,
Seven kings, brothers of the same family .
Iranian, Indian, Chinese, Scandinavian, and
Aztec literature also refer to this ambiguous
location at 'the center of the earth' [12].
The Japanese paradise was situated 'on the
top of the globe' and at the same time 'at
the center of the earth'. It was called the
'island of the congealed drop'.
Its first roof-pillar was the earth's axis,
and over it was the pivot of the vault of
h-aven. Similarly, the Chinese terrestrial
paradise, round in form, is described not
only as at the center of the earth, but
also as directly under Shang-te's heavenly
palace, which is declared to be in the
polestar, and is sometimes called the
'palace of the center'.
The Egyptians located their Ta Neter, or
land of the g-ds, in the extreme north [13].
Today there is an echo of these ancient
traditions in the fact that children send
notes to Santa Claus, or Father Christmas,
in his 'wonderland' at the north pole, asking
for gifts.
The Eskimos have legends that they came
from a fertile land of perpetual sunshine
in the north. They believe that after
d-ath the s-ul descends beneath the earth,
first to an abode rather like purgatory,
but good so-ls then descend further to a
place of perfect bliss where the sun never
sets [14].
In P-alm 48:2 of the B-ble, Mount Zion is
said to be 'in the far north', and in E-ekiel
(28:13-14) Eden, 'the garden of Go-', is
placed on the 'holy mountain of Go-'. In
Hebrew tradition, the primeval Eden is
sometimes said to be at the 'center of the
earth' [15].
According to the Hindu Kurma Purana, an
island called Shveta-Dvipa, or W-ite
Island, lay in the northern sea, the
paradisiacal homeland of great yogis
possessing supreme wisdom and learning [16].
B-avatsky writes: 'According to Tibetan
tradition the Wh-te Island is the only
locality which escapes the general fate
of other dwipas and can be destroyed by
neither fire nor water, for -- it is the
"eternal land" ' [17].
North of the Himalayas, possibly in the
Tarim Basin, lay Uttarakuru or northern
Kuru, a version of Shambhala which the
Mahabharata describes as the blissful
land of the sages towards which Arjuna,
the warrior prince of the Bhagavad-Gita,
travelled in search of enlightenment.
It is described as a place of marvels
where magic fruit trees yield the
nectar of immortality. It is said to
be one of four regions surrounding Mount
Meru like the four petals of a lotus
and to be the homeland of the siddhas,
enlightened yogis famed for their
miraculous powers [18].
Greek mythology speaks of a mysterious
northern yet ever-springlike land called
Hyperborea ('beyond the north wind'),
situated beyond the mountains -- in
some accounts situated under the north
pole -- to which Apollo journeyed in
his chariot of swans [19].
There the true 'omphalos' or navel of
the earth was located. For the Orphics,
the island of Electris, the seat of the
go-s, lies under the polestar in the
furthest waters of Tethys [20].
The Mandean Gnostics believed that an ideal
earth, an earth of light peopled by a d-vine
r-ce of superhumans, was situated in the
north, separated from our world by a high
mountain of ice. It is said to exist
'between heaven and earth', and Henry
Corbin concludes that it does not refer
to the north of our globe but to the
'cosmic north', i.e. superphysical realms
[21].
But, like Shambhala, it might also have
an earthly counterpart.
The Avestan term 'Airyanem Vaejah'
(Pahlavi: Eran-Vej) designates the
cradleland of the Aryan-Iranians, located
not in any of the earth's seven
climates, but at the center of the central
zone, the eighth climate [22].
It was there that Yima, the 'first man',
received the command to construct a vara,
or enclosure, where the most highly
developed humans, animals, and plants
would be gathered in order to save them
from the deadly winter unleashed by
the demonic powers so that they might
one day refurbish a transfigured world.
This "vara" or paradise had a gate and
luminescent windows which se-reted an
inner light within, for it was illuminated
by both uncreated and created lights. Its
various meanings include a subterranean
sanctuary, an ark, and the human body [23].
Airyanem Vaejah, the 'primeval land of
bliss', appears to be identical to
Shveta-Dvipa, Mount Meru, the Sac-ed
Imperishable Land, and Shambhala (in
its several meanings) [24].
Bla-atsky quotes Fargard 1:2 of the
Vendidad, where 'we find Ahura-Mazda saying
to Spitama "the most benevolent" -- that he
made every land dear to its dwellers, since
otherwise the "whole living world would
have invaded the Airyana-Vaego" ' [25].
According to Fargard 2:40, 'The one thing
missed there is the sight of the stars, the
moon, and the sun, and a year seems only as a
day' [26].
4. Inner kingdoms
As with the idea of a paradisiacal
cradleland of humanity at the north pole,
references to networks of caverns and
tunnels and/or an inner world within the
earth are commonplace in the world's
r-ligions, myths, legends, and folklore.
The attributes assigned to the underworld
range from h-avenly to h-llish, and its
inhabitants likewise range from superhuman
to subhuman. Myths and legends generally
embody multiple levels of meaning, and
the underworld can also refer to
nonphysical planes of reality.
During his travels in Asia, Nicholas
Roerich spent a lot of time studyingm local
folklore, which included tales of lost
tribes or subterranean dwellers.
In many places of Central Asia, they
speak of the Agharti ['concealed', 'se-ret'],
the subterranean people. In numerous
beautiful legends they outline the same
story of how the best people abandoned the
treacherous earth and sought salvation in
hidden countries where they acquired new
forces and conquered powerful energies. [1]
While crossing the Karakorum pass, his
Ladakhi guide said to him: 'Do you know
that in the subterranean caves here many
treasures are hidden and that in them
lives a wonderful tribe which abhors the
s-ns of the earth?'
And again when we approached Khotan the
hoofs of our horses sounded hollow as
though we rode above caves or hollows.
Our caravan people called our attention
to this, saying, 'Do you hear what hollow
subterranean passages we are crossing?
Through these passages, people who are
familiar with them can reach far-off
countries.' When we saw entrances of
caves, our caravaneers told us, 'Long ago
people lived there; now they have gone
inside; they have found a subterranean
passage to the subterranean kingdom. Only
rarely do some of them appear again on
earth.

This tells from where the American Indians came.
....................................................
....................................................
Great is the belief in the Kingdom of the
subterranean people. Through all Asia, through the
space of all deserts, from the Pacific to the
Urals, you can hear the same wondrous tale of the
vanished h-ly people. And even far beyond the Ural
Mountains, the echo of the same tale will reach
you. [2]
There is rumored to be a vast underground
network of caves and tunnels under the whole of
Central Asia, with many passages radiating out
from the s-iritual hub of Shambhala [3].
According to popular belief, there are numerous
s-cret subterranean passages beneath India, whose
entrances are guarded by elementals which assume
the shape of rocks or other natural features. For
instance, Varanasi (Benares), whose ancient name
is Kashi, is said to be connected by a tunnel to
Gupta Kashi ('gupta' = s-cret, hidden), an
underground city in the Himalayas, about 50 miles
from Badrinath [4].
Mesoamerica and South America have long been
rumoured to be honeycombed with long, mysterious
tunnels, some of them running for hundreds of
miles, from Columbia in the north through Peru
and Bolivia to Chile in the south, and to the
Amazon jungle in the east. Only a few sections
of these tunnels have so far been discovered [5].
H.P. B-avatsky mentions an immense tunnel
running from Cuzco to Lima in Peru, and then
extending south into Bolivia [6].
In Egypt, a vast subterranean world is
traditionally believed to extend from the
catacombs of Alexandria to Thebes' Valley of the
Kings. The subterranean crypts of Thebes were
known as the serpent's catacombs, the serpent
being a symbol of wisdom and immortality [7].
Many Native American peoples believe that
their ancestors originated in a joyous
subterranean realm, or took refuge in caverns
to escape past cataclysms. (JW I once was
talking to an America Indian who was fishing
for catfish at 12:00 pm at night on the banks
of a Lake Isabella in Calif. and he told me
the same thing.)
The Cherokee Indians speak of a subterranean
world much like our own, with mountains, rivers,
trees, and people [8]. (JW The Cherokee Indians
are said to have come originally from The Pleiades.
They have a lot of rituals that talk about the
7 stars of the Pleiades and also the seven
sisters in regard to The Devil's Tower.)
The Aztecs said their ancestors came from
a land called Aztlan, and that after escaping
its destruction they ended up in a cavern called
Chicomoztoc, or the Seven Cavern Cities of Gold,
where they lived before emerging to the surface
world [9].
The M-xican demi-g-d Votan describes a
subterranean passage, a 'snake's hole', which
runs underground and terminates at the root of
the h-avens; he himself was allowed to enter
it because he was a 'son of the snakes' [10].
The Hopi Indians hold their rituals in an
underground chamber known as the kiva.
In the center of the kiva, on the altar level
and directly below the roof opening, is the
sunken fire pit in which a fire is lighted in
the New Fire Ceremony for life began with fire.
Next to it is the small hole in the floor
called the "sipapuni". Etymologically derived
from the two words for 'navel' and 'path from,'
the "sipapuni" thus denotes the umbilical cord
leading from Mother Earth and symbolizes the
path of man's Emergence from the previous
underworld.
The ladder represents the reed up which man
climbed during his Emergence . [11]
The Hopis believe there has been a succession
of four worlds. The first world was destroyed
by fire, the second by a poleshift, and the
third by flooding. Some chosen people were saved
from the disasters that destroyed the first
two worlds by taking refuge underground, and
some survived the destruction of the third
world by being sealed inside hollow reeds. The
Pima Indians speak of the emergence into our
world being effected through a spiral hole
that was bored up to the earth's surface [12].
Legends of ancestral origins in subterranean
lands are also found in Africa and Australia.
Australian aborigines believe their ancestors
came up out of the ground, travelled about the
country and created new tribes, then 'ultimately
journeyed away beyond the confines of their
territory, or went down into the ground again'.
According to the native traditions of the
Caroline Islands, Papua New Guinea, and
Malaysia, a subterranean r-ce of giants went
underground in ancient times. Once inhabitants
of the lost continent of Chamat, they will
one day 'emerge and remake the world'. Natives
of the Trobiand Islands believe that their
ancestors emerged from a subterranean
existence through a special hole. Tribes
in Bengal and Burma also believe their
ancestors emerged from a subterranean world
[13].
In Hindu mythology there are many tales of
the Nagas, a ra-e of semi-d-vine serpent-people,
who ruled a subterranean kingdom, Patala,
filled with incredible wealth. Patala was said
to be the lowest of the seven regions of the
Indian underworld. These regions are
collectively called Bila-svarga, the
'subterranean he-ven', which is described
as a place of great beauty. The sun and moon
cannot be seen there, but the jewels
decorating the hoods of the Nagas are
said to emit an effulgence that illuminates
the entire region of Bila-svarga. Few mortals
were ever allowed to enter the lower world, but
there were said to be many hidden entrances in
the mountains of India and Kashmir [14].
In Tibet there is a major mystical shrine
called Patala, which is said to lie above an
ancient cavern and tunnel system, extending
throughout the Asian continent and possibly
beyond. The Nagas are related to the
Rakshasas, an underworld rac- of 'de-ons',
who possess a 'magical stone' or 'third eye'
in the middle of the forehead.
In China, the Lung Wang (dragon beings)
closely resemble the Nagas in many respects.
They are said to dwell either in the
'celestial realm', i.e. the stars and planets,
or beneath the surface of the earth. They,
too, possess a 'magical pearl' in their
foreheads, a mystical or di-ine eye or source
of power. Like the Nagas, some of the
entrances to their palaces or kingdoms can be
found beneath lakes and rivers or behind
waterfalls [15].
According to an ancient Chinese record, the
Twelve Branches, all things began to germinate
in the hidden recesses of the underworld. In
the Ten Stems, it is said that at the ninth
stem, light begins to nourish all things in
the recesses below [16].
The Egyptian underworld or kingdom of the
dead was called the Duat (or Tuat), ruled by
Osiris [17].
Within the Duat were the Fields of Peace,
which the Greeks equated with the Elysian
Fields. In Old Kingdom times the Duat was
commonly supposed to be situated somewhere
under the earth. In this airless, waterless,
and lightless place dwelt both the blessed
and the d-mned. The kingdom of Osiris was
also placed in the west, where the dead
sun-go- of the day passed at night. In
addition, the Duat denoted the sky region
dominated by the constellations of Orion,
Taurus, and Leo, and divided by the
'winding waterway' or Milky Way.
The Duat is sometimes described as the
'reversed world' or 'inverted precinct'
[18], and in the Pyramid Texts we read:
'O Osiris the King, I am Isis; I have
come into the middle of this earth, into
the place where you are' [19].
Osiris was the Egyptian phoenix, which
was 'the bringer of the life-giving
essence, the hik, a concept akin to our
idea of magic, which the great cosmic
bird carried to Egypt from a distant and
magical land beyond the earthly world.'
This was the 'Isle of Fire', 'the place
of everlasting light beyond the limits
of the world, where the -ods were born
or revived and whence they were sent
into the world'. This is a reference to
the Duat [20].
The Duat, or Hidden Place, was sometimes
conceived as a completely enclosed Circle
of the G-ds, formed by the body of Osiris.
At the head-point there was an opening to
the skies symbolized by the go-dess Nut,
through which the imperishable star
(symbolized by the celestial disk) could
be reached (see below) [21].
Figure.
The Duat.
The Egyptian go- Aker was the 'chief of
the gate of the Abyss', of Aker, which
was the netherworld but also the 'realm
of the sun' [22].
The Celtic Otherworld was variously known
as the Land of the D-ad, the Land of the
Living, the Land of Many Colors, the
Promised Land, the Delightful Plain, the
Land of Youth, the Land of Summer, and
the Land under the Wave. In most of the
stories, it was viewed as a pleasant land
located somewhere beneath the sea, but
in others it was to be found beneath the
hills or entered via ancient burial
mounds [23].
As in other traditions, the Celtic
underworld is associated with cauldrons.
In the Mabinogion, the land of Annwn
('unplumbed' or 'bottomless'), the Welsh
underworld, contains a mystical cauldron
which can restore the de-d to life once
more if they are submerged in it and
brought out again [24].
In the "Critias" (120), Plato says that
the 'ho-y habitation of Zeus' is situated
'in the center of the world' [25].
In "The Republic" (part 4), he says
that Apollo, the traditional interpreter
of re-igious matters, delivers his
interpretation 'from his seat at the earth's
center' [26].

This talks about Eden.

He also writes: Apollo's real home is among the
Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where
mythology tells us two doves flying from the two
opposite ends of the world met in this fair region,
the home of Apollo.
Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother
of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic
Ocean far beyond the North Wind. [27]
Plato speaks of many cavities and 'wonderful
regions' in the earth, and of subterranean flows of
water, mud, and fire.
One of the cavities in the earth is not only
larger than the rest, but pierces right through
from one side to the other. It is of this that
Homer speaks when he says 'Far, far away, where
lies earth's deepest chasm'; while elsewhere
both he and many other poets refer to it as
Tartarus. [28]
In the Greek view, the lands of the living
were divided from Tartarus, the land of the
d-ad, by fierce obstacles, rivers, and bodies
of water or fire. The greatest of these was
Oceanus, which not only comprised all the seas
of the world, but was also the largest of the
'rivers' which the Greeks believed swept into
and through Tartarus, to emerge from the
underworld on the opposite side of the earth.
Other subterranean torrents included Lethe,
the river of forgetfulness, and the Styx, the
river of de-th. Tartarus was said to 'sink
twice as far below the earth as the earth
was beneath the sky', and to be bounded by
many perils.
As well as being the home of the
dethroned g-ds called the Titans, it contained
a variety of regions or kingdoms, ranging
from the Elysian Fields to the many grottoes,
caverns, and pits of t-rment reserved for
the d-mned [29].
The 1st-century Roman philosopher Seneca
spoke of people who 'forced their way into the
caverns' and entered the bowels of the earth,
'penetrating to the deepest hiding places',
where they saw 'great rushing rivers, and vast
still lakes', a world where 'the whole of
nature was reversed. The land hung above
their heads, while winds whistled hollowly
in the shadows, while in the depths,
frightful rivers led nowhere into perpetual
and alien night' [30].
He also wrote: 'A time will come in later
years when the Ocean will unloosen the bands
of things, when the immeasurable earth will
lie open, and Thule will no longer be the
extreme point among the lands' [31].
Clearly nothing on the earth's surface
could lie further north than Ultima Thule
(the Land of the Ultimate North).
The Scandinavian and Germanic peoples
envisioned the world as an immense yew or
ash tree, the limbs and roots of which spread
into a variety of realms or planes of
existence. The World Tree, Yggdrasil, plunged
its deep roots into several subterranean
kingdoms, which all bordered a vast primordial
void called Ginnungagap. One root of Yggdrasil
led into Niflheim, the land of the de-d. As
in the Greek underworld, many waters flowed
out from the depths and into the human world;
in Niflheim it was the spring/river Hvergelmir
(meaning 'roaring cauldron'), which boiled
and churned relentlessly. The 11 tributaries
of the Hvergelmir emptied into the central
void of Ginnungagap. The second of Yggdrasil's
roots found its way into the lands of the
go-s, Asgard and Vanaheim. While often pictured
as a land high in Yggdrasil's branches, this
realm was a subterranean one as well. In
fact, the only world of Norse cosmology that
is not in some sense subterranean is that of
Midgard (middle earth), the surface world.
Bifrost, the 'rainbow bridge', stretched
from Midgard across Ginnungagap into Asgard
[32].
In the Elder Edda, Odin says: 'No one has
ever known or will ever know the vastness
of the roots of that ancient tree.' This is
a reference not only to the created world
and h-avens, but also to the root-like cavern
system beneath the surface world. Also
issuing from the depths of the World Tree
was the titanic world-serpent or ouroboros
which encircled the earth and held its
tail in its teeth. It was called 'the
girdle of the world', and its writhings
beneath the sea were one of the sources
of storms and earthquakes. The main
entrance to the subterranean realms lay
in the north. Similarly, the Greeks
believed that one of the entrances to
Tartarus lay beyond Hyperborea, and the
entrance to the Finnish underworld lay
north of Lapland, where the earth and
sky met.
In the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh, the
underworld or 'Great Below' was a place of
immense size and great t-rror, filled
with a wide range of beings, including
s-irits, the unde-d, humanoids, and s-vage
guardians. In his search for everlasting life,
Gilgamesh first had to reach the mountain of
Mashu, connected with the he-vens above and
the netherworld below. Having been allowed
to enter the 'gate', he descended into the
bowels of the earth through 12 double-hours
of darkness before reaching 'an enclosure
as of the -ods', filled with brilliance, where
there was a garden made entirely of precious
stones [33].
According to Diodorus Siculus, the Chaldees,
imagined the earth to have the form of a round
boat turned upside down and to be hollow
underneath [34].
The B-ble describes the underworld or h-ll
as a 'bottomless pit' (R-velation 9:1-2) and
'the abyss' (R-mans 10:7), a place of
punishment and misery, the abode of S-tan
and his d-mons. Other references to
subterranean realms and life include the
following: . at the name of Je--s every knee
should bow, in hea-en and on earth and under
the earth. (P-ilippians 2:10, Revised
Standard Version)
And no one in heav-n or on earth or under
the earth was able to open the scroll or look
into it. (Re-elation 5:3)
In saying, 'He [C-rist] ascended,' what
does it mean but that he had also descended
into the lower parts of the earth? (E-hesians
4:9)
For as Jonah was three days and three
nights in the belly of the whale, so will
the son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth. (Ma-thew 12:40)
J--us refers to this place as 'Eden' or
paradise. Some hollow-earthers have read
into the following quotation a reference to
the alleged polar hole in the Arctic:
He stretches out the north over the void,
and hangs the earth upon nothing. (J-b 26:7)
In the apocryphal Book of Enoch [35], Enoch
speaks of proceeding to 'the middle of the
earth', where he beheld a 'blessed land',
'happy and fertile' (25:1, 26:1). An angel
shows him 'the first and last s-crets in
heaven above, and in the depths of the
earth: In the extremities of heav-n, and in
the foundations of it, and in the receptacle
of the winds' (59:2-3). There are said to
be cavities in the earth and 'mighty waters'
under it (65:1, 87:5, 95:2). Enoch sees an
abyss 'opened in the midst of the earth,
which was full of fire' (89:34); the abyss
is said to be 'on the right side of the
earth', which, according to B-avatsky, can
mean in the north [36]. There is also a
reference to seven great rivers, four of
which 'take their course in the cavity of
the north' (76:6-7).
Finally, the following passage from "The
Se-ret Doctrine" contains several enigmatic
statements referring to the far north and
possibly to the inner earth. Speaking of the
Kaf mountains of Persian legend, Bl-vatsky
writes:
Whatever they may be in their geographical
status, whether they are the Caucasian or
Central Asian mountains, it is far beyond
these mountains to the North, that legend
places the Daevas [giants] and Peris; the
latter the remote ancestors of the Parsis or
Farsis. Oriental tradition is ever referring
to an unknown glacial, gloomy sea, and to a
dark region, within which, nevertheless,
are situated "the Fortunate Islands", wherein
bubbles, from the beginning of life on earth,
the "fountain of life". But the legend
asserts, moreover, that a portion of the
first "dry" island (continent), having
detached itself from the main body, has
remained, since then, beyond the mountains
of Koh-Kaf, 'the stony girdle that
surrounds the world.' A journey of seven
months' duration will bring him who is
possessed of 'Sulayman's ring' to that
'fountain,' if he keeps on journeying
North straight before him as the bird flies.
Journeying therefore from Persia "straight
north", will bring one along the sixtieth
degree of longitude, holding to the west,
to Novaya Zemlya; and from the Caucasus
to the eternal ice beyond the Arctic circle
would land one between 60 and 45 degrees of
longitude, or between Novaya Zemlya and
Spitzbergen. This, of course, if one has
the dodecapedian horse of [King] Hoshang
or the winged Simurgh [a marvellous bird,
the Persian phoenix] of Tahmurath (or
Taimuraz) [third king of Persia], upon
which to cross over the Arctic Ocean.*
*[The Caucasian bards] say that it
requires seven months for a swift horse
to reach the 'dry land' beyond Kaf,
holding north without ever deviating
from one's way.
Nevertheless, the wandering songsters
of Persia and the Caucasus will maintain,
to this day, that far beyond the
snow-capped summits of Kap, or Caucasus,
"there is a great continent now concealed
from all". That it is reached by those who
can secure the services of the twelve-legged
progeny of the crocodile and the female
hippopotamus, whose legs become at will
"twelve wings"* or by those who have the
patience to wait for the good pleasure of
"Simurgh-anke", who promised that before
she d-es she will reveal the hidden continent
to all, and make it once more visible and
within easy reach, by means of a bridge,
which the Ocean Daevas will build between that
portion of the 'dry island' and its severed
parts.** This relates, of course, to the
seventh r-ce, Simurgh being the Manvantaric
cycle.
