In Search of Shambhala by Mary Sutherland from BurlingtonUFOCenter Website There Lies a World Hidden There Lies a World Hidden,

Mysterious, unknown, and forbidden. Where dwells entities with technologies beyond our comprehension, And knowledge kept hidden from us, in this other dimension. Will the truth ever be revealed? Earthly forces of power and greed want forever sealed, Forbidden knowledge for warfare to wield. When humankind understands, To use the knowledge acquired from these strange lands. For the benefit of humankind, Then entrance into their world we will find. Frank Scassellatii

Introduction Never feeling quite at home here on the earth plane, our souls stir up restless feelings from within, ever pushing us forward on a life quest for the illusive S hambhalla or what the Western World call El Dorado or Shangri La. Shambhalla is a paradise where our own dreams can come true. Most laugh the idea of the mythological kingdom of Shambhalla off as a fairy tale or myth, but ther e are others, myself included, that consider the possibility that this idea of p aradise may actually exist. This magical kingdom will only reveal itself to believers, pure in heart. What d oes this mean? It means that the reader must shed all their past traditional bel iefs and open their minds and hearts to the possibilities of the invisible world s beyond our senses of reality . The Western World has been conditioned to see fi rst, then believe , but in the Search for Shambhala you must believe first. The Golden Age is upon us now. The secrets and prophecies of Shambhala will open our eyes to what is ahead for us. These secrets and prophecies shall constitute the theme behind my latest book, In Search of Shambhala . Mary Sutherland Chapter One Prophesies of Shambhalla Shambhalla is part of our soul s memory , thus it is imbedded in our collective co nsciousness. Through the Ages, around the world, stories have been passed down a bout this mythological kingdom. The mythical paradise of Shamballa, sometimes thought to be in a parallel world or dimension , is a land of a thousand names. The Hindus call it "Paradesha" or "Aryavarsha", the land from which the Vedas came from; the Buddhists "Shambala"; the Chinese know it as " Hsi Tien", the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu, the Ro yal Mother of the West; the Russians knew it as "Belovodye" and "Janaidar", the Christians and the Jews the "Garden of Eden". In the esoteric literature it has become known as "Shangri-La", "Agarttha" or "the Land of the Living".It has the

name of "Forbidden Land"; "the Land of White Waters"; the "Land of Radiant Spiri ts"; the "Land of Living Fire"; the "Land of the Living Gods" and the "Land of W onders". 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. C all it what you will, but let it be described as the home for immortals; a place where the Will of God is known; a celestial kingdom that holds our very destiny . It is our past. It is our future and exists in our present . What is above so shall it be below. Just as we are dual in nature so is our beau tiful Shamballa. It exists in our physical realm, in our spiritual realm and hid den in a parallel dimension. . Shambhalla is known by the Celtics as the mystical Avalon , hidden in the mists of illusion. Once our home, now mostly forgotten except in our dreams, our soul sti ll goes there for healing and revitalization. It is a land without time, full of power and mystery, offering enlightenment to the traveler that is fortunate eno ugh to enter its gates. Maya, the Goddess of Illusiongive us our clue to unlock its door. First you must remember, find the key, and then escape. The world is a labyrinth and few will fi nd the egress, but for the seeker of truth the entrance to Shambhalla is possibl e. Its path is archaic, but tried, tested and true. We first need to remember why we are here. That our existence on this earth plan e is nothing but an illusion... a alchemical laboratory of transmutations. It is here that we prepare ourselves for our destiny... a destiny outside the illusio n of Maya. Use your time wisely on this plane, burn off the old karma and learn to apprecia te life s lessons. The people of Tibet and Mongolia believe that Shambhala is a hidden kingdom with a community where perfect and semi perfect beings live, guiding the evolution o f mankind. It is the gateway between the physical and spiritual world, hidden fr om the non believer by a psychic barrier. Beneath the land of Shambhalla lies a cavernous underworld... Its summit aligns to the wheeling constellation of Ursa Major, the Seven Stars that circle the Pole. Through our history, people of the world have sought to find this realm of cosmi c harmony hidden within the veils of Avalon. They literally tried to bring heave n to earth by building temples and pyramids in the center of their cities to fun ction as patterns of this paradise. The Sumerians built a temple which was called The House of the Mountain and knew i t as the bond of heaven and earth . The central hub bound the heavens, underworld a nd human world together. Seven tiers led up to the shrine on its summit, which m irrored the legend of the seven gated underworld below. What is above , so shall be below . Glastonbury in southwest England was once one of these cosmic centers. The summi t on the strange shaped hill of Glastonbury Tor is the site of a holy shrine pre dating any medieval church. Local legends have it that an entrance to Annwn, the British/Welshname for the U nderworld is located here. In recent years evidence of a seven-tiered labyrinth encircling the Tor , from base to summit, has been uncovered. This area has been frequented as a place of power going back as far as the Bronze Age and beyond. Shambhalla is considered to be the source of the Kalachakra, which is the highes

t and most esoteric branch of Tibetan mysticism. According to the Kalachakra Tan tra Prophecy, a line of enlightened kings guard the highest wisdoms for the time when all spiritual values in the outside world are lost in wars and destruction . At that time, a great king will come out of the Shambhalla kingdom to defeat t he forces of evil and establish the Golden Age. The prophecy of Shambhalla gives us a hint of the coming Golden Age. There will be 32 kings, each reigning for a 100 years. As their reigns pass conditions, of the world will deteriorate. Wars will break out in the pursuant of power. Materi alism will overcome spiritualism and spread over the world. Then the barbarians wh o follow this ideology of power and materialism are united under one evil king , assuming there is nothing left to conquer. When this time comes, the mists will then lift to reveal the icy mountains of Shambhala. Seeing the promised lands o f Shambhalla, the barbarians will then attack Shambhalla with a huge army equipp ed with terrible weapons. The 32nd king of Shambhala, Rudra Cakrin, The Wrathful One with the Wheel will ris e from his throne and lead a mighty host against the invaders destroying the arm y of barbarians. After the battle has been won, the rule of Shambhalla will cove r the world, bringing in the greatest Age of all times. Food will grow without w ork, there will be no disease or poverty, hatred and jealousies will be replaced with love and the great saints and sages of the past will return to life to tea ch true wisdom of the Ages. Rudka Cakrin is known as the Cakravartin or the possessor of the wheel . This wheel s upposedly is a wheel of iron that falls from the sky to mark the beginning of hi s reign. Some may see this wheel of iron falling from the sky as a metaphor where others may view this quite literally as an Alien Craft. In the Kalachkra, one can find the necessary teaching provided for preparation o f the prophesized war. We find in it the psychology of invasions and detailed inst ructions on how to build various machines to ward off the invaders. The sacred t exts go on to say the Dark Age will last until the year 2424 AD, when a great war will begin in India. The human race will be rescued from total destruction by th e armies of Shambhalla riding flying horses and boats that fly in the air . Again the se could be metaphors, but I lean more to the texts describing UFOs. There are sacred texts also called mind termas which are hidden within the minds o f mankind. I suspect they are imbedded in our DNA, as untapped memories. The mind termas will be released to us through meditation and/or states of sleep. It has been prophesized that some of the discoverers of these texts will actuall y wake up from sleep with pages physically in their hands. Anyone that has knowled ge of the apportation phenomenon will realize that this does happen. *I experien ced an apportation of sorts over ten years ago when I lived in Arizona. I awoke from my sleep one morning holding a small crystal quartz , which I physically br ought out of a dream of myself being in the Great Hall of Wisdom. There are simi lar tales telling us that individuals capable of visiting Shambhalla in a medita tive state will similarly return with physical objects previously unknown on ear th. Chapter Two The Location of Shambhalla Although some will make claim that Shambhalla exists only within your heart and mind there are those that would differ. The idea that Shambhalla is located in t he material world is firmly rooted in Tibetan tradition. However the opinions as to its location differ considerably.

Tibetan texts appear to show historical facts about Shambhalla. The data recorde d in these texts give names, dates and corresponding events occurring in the out side world. The Hindus and Buddhist alike regard Mount Meru, located in the Hima layas, as the location of Shambhalla. It is the center of the cosmos, having its roots in hell and its summit in heaven. The mountain peak houses a magnificent central palace radiating a powerful, diamond like light, which is the home of In dra, King of Hindu gods. Legends tell of her slopes being studded with glittering gemstones and thick wit h trees heavy with delicious fruit. She is circled by seven rings of golden moun tains, each separated from the other by one of seven circular oceans . This enti re superstructure rises from an outer ocean, and is flanked by four main contine nts, each with two subcontinents. The southern continent, Jambudvipa, correspond s to the physical earth. Each of the other continents represents a nearby planet upon which transmigrating souls following the yellow light-path may be reborn. Tibetan religious texts tell us that the technology of Shambhalla is supposed to be highly advanced; the palace contains special skylights made of lenses which serve as high-powered telescopes to study extraterrestrial life, and for hundred s of years Shambhalla s inhabitants have been using aircraft and cars that shuttle through a network of underground tunnels. On the way to enlightenment, Shambhal lans acquire such powers as clairvoyance, the ability to move at great speeds, a nd the ability to materialize and disappear at will. Andrew Tomas, author of Shambhalla, Oasis of Light , writes, This remarkable kingdo m reputedly exists both above and below ground, with a network of tunnels hundre ds of miles long. Cars of strange design flash along their length and they are i llumined by a brilliant, artificial light which affords growth to the grains and vegetables and long life without disease to the people. Hebrew legends speak of a place called Luz which is described as an underground city near a sacred mountain called the abode of immortality . Some Tibetans think Shambhalla might be in Tibet, perhaps in the Kunlun mountain s; others point toward the region around Mongolia and Sinkiang province of China . Others believe it to in Siberia or some other part of Russia. Some lamas claim that it is hidden in the frozen Artic. Others believe Shambhalla only exists in an parallel universe or higher dimension. In the years between 1923 and 1928, Nicholas Roerich, led an expedition across t he Gobi Desert to the Altai mountain , a journey which covered 15,500 miles acro ss 35 of the world s highest mountain passes. It is rumored that he may have been on a mission to find and return what was said to be part of the sacred Chintamani Stone, which was believed to be part of a magical meteorite from the solar syst em in the constellation of Orion. According to Lamaist legend, a fragment of thi s stone from what may be the star Sirius, is sent wherever a spiritual mission v ital to humanity is set up, and is returned when that mission is completed. The stone is said possess occult properties, capable of giving telepathic inner guid ance and effecting a transformation of consciousness to those in contact with it . Whether he retrieved the stone or not is not known, but what we do know for cert ain is that he was sent in search of it by the League of Nations. Just in the fa ct that he was sent on this expedition lends credibility to the existence of the Shambhalla legends. Roerich was a man of great creditability. To his credit, he was a philosopher, a uthor, explorer, member of the Theosophical Society, member of the League of Nat ions, influential in the FDR administration and was the pivotal force behind pla cing the Great Seal of the United States on the American dollar. He also produce

d hundred of paintings capturing the essence of the area and its people. Roerich strove to link all scientific and creative disciplines to advance true c ulture and international peace, citing the power of art and beauty to accomplish such a feat. In honor of his efforts, in 1935 The Roerich Peace Pact was establ ished, which obligated nations to respect museums, cathedrals, universities and libraries as they did hospitals, and became part of the United Nations organizat ional charter. In his travels through China and Mongolia to the borders of Tibet, Roerich met w ith a lama that described Shambhalla to him. According to this famous explorer, Roerich was told Great Shambhalla is far beyond the ocean. It is the mighty heave nly domain. It has nothing to do with our Earth. . . . Only in some places, in t he Far North, can you discern the resplendent rays of Shambhala. Going on, the la ma described it as a far-off valley , hidden in the midst of high mountains, with h ot springs and rich vegetation. Then he stated the ruler of Shambhalla is ever v igilant in the cause of mankind. He sees all the events of earth in his magic mir ror and the might of his thought penetrates into far-off lands . Continuing, he goes on to say, Uncountable are the inhabitants of Shambhalla. Numerous are the splendid new forces and achievements which are being prepared t here for humanity. This lama confirmed that messengers from Shambhalla are at wor k in the world, and that even the ruler of this great kingdom sometimes appears, in a human form, to mankind . He stressed that the secrets of Shambhalla are we ll guarded, and that it is impossible for anybody to reach Shambhalla unless the ir karma is ready and they are called . Although Roerich may have only heard the legend of Shambhalla from the lama, the explorer later went on to report that h e discovered a subterranean society of Aghartians. Aghartians was a civilization of over 20 million people living throughout all the subterranean passages of th e world. According to David Pratt, Mysteries of the Inner Earth, Roerich spent a time exa mining the inner kingdoms, caverns and empty lavachambers through the studying t he local folk lore and talking to those familiar with the area and these legends which included tales of lost tribes and subterranean dwellers. He came to reali ze that the attributes assigned to the underworld ranged from heavenly to hellis h, and its inhabitants from super to sub human. With all the stories he was able to collect, it came to him that one story seemed quite common . The same story kept surfacing about people abandoning the surface finding refuge in the subterr anean world where they found passageways leading to inner earth kingdoms. Many o f these people still live there, coming to the surface rarely. Great is the belief in the Kingdom of the subterranean people. There is rumoured to be a vast underground network of caves and tunnels under the whole of Centra l Asia, with many passages radiating out from the spiritual hub of Shambhala . A ccording to popular belief, there are numerous secret subterranean passages bene ath India, whose entrances are guarded by elementals which assume the shape of r ocks or other natural features. According to H.P Blavatsky, Mesoamerica and South America are honeycombed with l ong, mysterious tunnels, some of them running for hundreds of miles, from Columb ia in the north through Peru and Bolivia to Chile in the south, and to the Amazo n jungle in the east. Only a few sections of these tunnels have so far been disc overed . She goes on to say that there is an immense tunnel running from Cuzco t o Lima in Peru, and then extending south into Bolivia . In Egypt, a vast subterr anean 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 t he serpent s catacombs, the serpent representing the ancient wisdom religions. The Native American believe that their ancestors came out of the earth, after th

ey had taken refuge in caverns to escape past cataclysms. The Cherokee Indians s peak of a subterranean world much like our own, with mountains, rivers, trees, a nd people. The Aztecs said their ancestors came from a land called Aztlan, and t hat 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 sur face world . The Mexican demi-god Votan describes a subterranean passage, a snake s hole , which runs underground and terminates at the root of the heavens; he himse lf was allowed to enter it because he was a son of the snakes The Hopi Indians hold their rituals in an underground chamber known as the kiva in honor of their ancestors life in the inner world. They believe there has been a succession of four worlds. The first world was destroyed by fire, the second by a pole-shift, and the third by flooding. Some chosen people were saved from t he disasters that destroyed the first two worlds by taking refuge underground, a nd some survived the destruction of the third world by being sealed inside hollo w reeds. The Pima Indians also speak of the emergence into our world through a s piral hole that was bored up to the earth s surface Legends of ancestral origins in subterranean lands are also found in Africa and Australia. Australian aborigines believe their ancestors came up out of the grou nd, 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, a nd Malaysia, a subterranean race of giants went underground in ancient times. On ce inhabitants of the lost continent of Chamat, they will one day emerge and rema ke the world . Natives of the Trobiand Islands believe that their ancestors emerge d from a subterranean existence through a special hole. Tribes in Bengal and Bur ma also believe their ancestors emerged from a subterranean world. Hitler also made attempts to locate and enter the gates of Shambhalla. . The ide a of Shambhalla and its occult knowledge was an obsession to him., The roots of his occult desires can be traced far back into his youth where he studied the oc cult and yoga in Vienna. The young Hitler received initiation into the American Indian Peyote Cult. After he was introduced to The Secret Doctrine, he then turn ed his attention more to Theosophy. Later he joined the occult group in Germany called Ultima Thulli, out of which the Nazi Party was born. Upon assuming power, Hitler established the ministry of Ancestral Memories, head ed by the Chairman of the Sanskrit Department at Munich University. Through this connection with Sanskrit studies, the Nazis adopted the swastika, an ancient sy mbol of good luck and well being. Although many believe that Hitler designed thi s emblem it is a fact that the Hindu , Buddhist and Jain worlds had honored this symbol for thousands of years prior to the Nazi movement. With the help of the explorer Sven Hedlin, Hitler sent several expeditions to Ti bet. The Nazis claimed that although Shambhalla was inaccessible to them, they a lso made contact and gained help from the mystical kingdom of Agartha . It was r eported that the leaders held a ceremony led by a man with the keys to Argatha. The Theosophists Society believes Shambhalla to be the seat for the Brotherhood of Adepts. Shambhalla sends forth messengers and teachers to work among mankind for the advancement of spiritual growth. Surrounded by an akashic veil, the theo sophists claim it has several locations here on earth. One location is situated i n the highlands of Asia, somewhere to the westward of the meridian line passing through Lhassa . Long ago, this locality was a sacred island in a vast Central As ian inland sea, known as the abyss of learning or sea of knowledge , and was accessib le via subterranean passages. According to tradition, this place exists to this day as an oasis surrounded by the Gobi desert. The second location is Mount Meru or Sumeru. It is the north pole of the earth,

so chosen not for its geographical qualities, but because of its astrological po sition. It is the mystical north pole, geographically identical with the north p ole of the earth, but mystically quite different. Theosophical literature also s tates that there is an even higher Shambhala located in the sun, and that all th ese different localities are inhabited by classes of entities with which the hum an race is spiritually and intellectually interconnected. In Hindu mythology Meru is the mystical mountain at the center of the world, whe re Indra, king of the gods, resides. However, so as not to get confused, Meru ac tually has several different meanings, including a Mount Meru in Asia, the north geographical pole, the north celestial pole, the earth s spin axis, the world axi s connecting earth to higher realms, and the cerebrospinal axis of the human bod y.. The Egyptians, Akkadians and Indians also believe that Meru has its opposite . The Artic Meru, known as Sumeru , is the dwelling place of the gods and the An tartic Meru, known as Kumeru is the dwelling place of demons. Meru, the Olympus of the Indians, is said to be situated in the center of the ea rth. It is guarded by serpents, which watched the entrance to the realm of Secret Knowledge . It is the land of bliss of the earliest Vedic times. Occult teachings ace 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. In the anci ent astronomical text Surya-Siddhanta , Meru is described as passing through the middle of the earth-globe, and protruding on either side. That other side, the So uthwestern American Hopi Indians believe is their sacred Black Mesa. H.P. Blavatsky 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. T his connects it with the "central" land "that never perishes"... She continues, Ac cording to Tibetan tradition the White 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" The earth is powered by a life source giving off electro-magnetic energy. This e nergy (blood of mother earth) is distributed through their body through veins wh ich we call ley lines, giving life to everything. The heart which pumps the bloo d is found in the centre or navel of the earth... The Caretaker of Earth, Shambhalla, has been described as a main power center wi th auxiliary centers scattered about the globe, linked by subterranean passagewa ys. Unknown to the surface people lives humans that the gods created. According to the Chaldean Account of Genesis: Human beings . . . the great gods created, and in the earth the gods created for them a dwelling. In the midst of the earth they grew up and became great, and in creased in number, Seven kings, brothers of the same family... Iranian, Indian, Chinese, Scandinavian, Native American Indian, Mayan and Aztec literature also make references to Inner Earth civilizations of Shambhalla. The Japanese also have a Shambhalla which they have named Island of the Congealed Drop . It is situated on the top of the globe but at the same time at the center of the earth . Its first roof-pillar was the earth s axis, and over it was the pivot of the vault of heaven. The Chinese actually describe their idea of Shambhalla as the Center of the Eart h, directly under Shang-te s heavenly palace, declaring it to be in the polestar. They also call it, The Palace of the Center . The Egyptians located their Ta Neter, or Land of the Gods, in the extreme North.

pl

Let s take into consideration the Legend of Santa Claus or Saint Nick. Although lo ng forgotten the reasoning behind it, our children still send letters to Santa a ddressed to the North Pole . North of the Himalayas is a version of Shambhalla, Uttarakuru or northern Kuru. It is described as the blissful land of the sages towards which Arjuna, the warr ior prince of the Bhagavad-Gita, travelled in search of enlightenment. Magic fru it trees yielded the nectar of immortality. It is one of four regions surroundin g Mount Meru and is the homeland of the Siddhas, enlightened yogis famed for the ir miraculous powers. Greek mythology has their own version of Shambhala as well. Greek mythology intr oduces us to what is known as Hyperborean Land. The land of eternal summer and f avorite home of Apollo. . According to the Orphics, the Island of Electris, the seat of the gods, lies und er the polestar in the furthest waters of Tethys . The Mandean Gnostics believed that an ideal earth with eternal light was the hom e of a divine race of super humans. This was reported to be located in the North , separated from our world by a high mountain of Ice. The Avestan term Airyanem Vaejah designates the cradle land of the Aryan-Iranians. It supposed to be located not in any of the earth s seven climates, but at the ce nter of the central zone, the eighth climate. It was there that the first man , rec eived the command to construct a vara, or enclosure, where the most highly devel oped humans, animals, and plants would be gathered in order to save them from th e deadly winter unleashed by the demonic powers (nucleur winter brought on by at omic warfare) so that they might one day rebuild the world. This vara or paradis e had a gate and luminescent windows which secreted an inner light within. It wa s illuminated by both uncreated and created lights. This vara in most likelihood is a space craft. Chapter Three Shambhalla and the Hollow Earth Our Earth is honeycombed with vast networks of natural and unnatural (man and al ien made) tunnels and caves . Seismic sonar instruments have detected what we now call The Great Road , located miles beneath the earth s surface. This is a gigantic, globe-spanning ribbon around the earth , made of a series of caves. Thousands of meters wide and hundreds thi ck, this ribbon encircles earth horizontally at the equator and vertically aroun d the poles. Mobil Oil geologists found Cyclopean underground cities at two inte rsections, located beneath the jungles of equatorial Ecuador and an ocean trench off the southern coast of Malaysia. These highly advanced cities , complete wit h hieroglyphics and pictographs , predate not only dinosaurs but even the verteb rates. Even deeper within the Earths interior is found the cities of Agharti , Shambhal la and the Caesars . While few have come back to tell the stories of Shambhalla, there have been expeditions that have penetrated Agharta, an initiatory center for Shambhalla. The Buddhist describe Agharta as a great kingdom of peace and tranquility with a population reaching into the millions. A world of astonishing beauty, with inne r suns, underground lakes and palaces made from the purest crystal. Crops are ir rigated by special waters and the powerful rays of the Great Light produced by a s ecret machine given to them by gods thousands of years ago.

The idea of underground worlds is nothing new. Even Columbus believed that all w aters flowed towards the poles where they became replenished and redirected in t heir course. The earliest account we have of this land of mystery and illusion dates back to year 4 BC. Apollonius of Tyana, a mystic Greek physician, was given a secret map of what was called The City of the Gods by a priest. Not wasting any time and des pite the dangers, Apollonius immediately set of in search of this kingdom. . Traveling through Mesopotamia and Babylon, he reached India where he employed th e services of a local guide to take him deep into the Himalayan mountains. Sudde nly after fifteen days of arduous walking the scenery around them changed dramat ically. In his book We Are Not The First , author Andrew Thomas sets the scene: The path by which they had come disappeared after them. The countryside shifted its position and they seemed to be in a place preserved by illusion. Met by a boy who answered them in Greek the pair were then presented to the rule r of this amazing land. With a warm welcome he bade them to accompany him on a t our of his kingdom, and completely spell bound, the pair were shown incredible m arvels of a world few outsiders had ever seen or imagined. Majestic pillars of l ight shot skywards, and radiant stones provided constant light. Philostratus, who was Apollonius biographer describes feats of levitation and com plicated robot-like machines serving food and drink as they sat down to eat. As they did so the ruler proudly announced: You have come to men who know everything . According to Philostratus these men not on it. were living on the Earth and at the same time

Upon his return to the west Apollonius immediately set about challenging the Rom an authorities. This placed him on a dangerous footing. Nero was now Emperor, an d dissenters were harshly dealt with. On several occasions Apollonius was only s aved by the strange powers he now seemed to have acquired. Summoned before a tri bunal in Rome the chief prosecutor was about to read from the scroll outlining A pollonius offences when suddenly the page turned blank. Terrified this was some s ort of divine portent the authorities immediately dropped all charges and Apollo nius was allowed to go free. On another occasion Apollonius was ordered before the Emperor Domitian, charged with un-Roman activities. Seemingly nonchalant to his fate Apollonius stood before the crowded court of three hundred witnesses and confidently proclaimed: You can detain my body, but not my soul, and I will add, not even my body. Suddenly ther e was a bright flash and Apollonius vanished from sight. Nicholas Roerich claimed that he was aware of caves in the Himalayan foothills ith subterranean passages leading to these subterranean cities. . Found in one f these passages is a stone door shall remain sealed until a future time. What ies behind that door only a selected few know and they are not about to give its secret. w o l away

People have been searching for the legendary Shambhalla for ages. Some have vent ured into the unknown never to return. Either these people had found the ultimat e happiness and chose to stay or they may have been destroyed in their search. T here are perils that obstruct the path to this city of promise. Many have lost t heir lives by being swallowed by crevasses , caught in avalanches , killed by wi ld animals or maybe even something sub-human or supernatural. We find references from various religions, myths, legends and folklore pointing out that the path to paradise is sabotaged with perils. Its inhabitants range from superhuman to s ubhuman and the underworld is a maze of multiple dimensions.

In Central Asia, a vast network of caves and tunnels are rumored to be running u nder its ground. Many subterranean passages run beneath India. Varanasi (Benares ), ancient name of Kashi, is said to be connect by a tunnel to Gupta Kashi (gupt a meaning secret or hidden), an underground city in the Himalayans. The people o f India believe these passageways are guarded by the elementals that assume the shape of rocks or other natural features. The Native American Indians commonly b elieve that these same type of elementals guard the underground passageways foun d in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. Mesoamerica and South America are honeycombed with tunnels, some of them running for hundreds of miles, from Columbia in the north through Peru and Bolivia to C hile in the south, and to the Amazon Jungle in the east. H.P. Blavatsky mentions an immense tunnel running from Cuzco to Lima in Peru, and then extending south into Bolivia In Egypt, a large subterranean world is traditionally believed to extend from th e catacombs of Alexandria to Thebes Valley of the Kings. Many Native American peoples believe that their ancestors came from the womb of Mother Earth, where they were sent by the gods to escape past cataclysms that we re taking place on the earth s surface. They later resurfaced through a hole in th e Earth. These emergence places on earth are called cenotes. A cenote is a very ve ry deep hole filled with water. In the Yucatan there is one of these found at Ch ichen Itza. Another one can be found outside Sedona, Arizona, USA, at Montezuma s Well. The Mandans of the northwestern United States, some of whom has blue eyes and si lky hair, tell the story of the first man to emerge from the tunnels in their ar ea. They were called the Histoppa or tattooed ones. Having left safety too soon, t hey perished. The rest remained below until a bright light broke the darkness on the surface. The Hopi believe that the world we live in is the Fourth World and the other thr ee are inside the earth. In stages, and through many hardships, they emerged fro m a hole called Sipapu. This emergence site, found at the bottom of the Canyon o f the Little Colorado above its junction with the Colorado River, is a sacred pl ace of pilgrimage for the Hopi. It lies in the Four Corners Area. Another Hopi legend tells of them also emerging from a world beneath the earth t hrough a tunnel located at the base of the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, A rizona. The Hopi legends say that their ancestors were driven to the surface by another faction of their own kind who turned on their own and was practicing sor cery. A clue to who that factor of their own kind was may be found in the Apache legends which state that the Two Hearts or the Children of the Lizard drove the Pue blos to the surface after they invaded their underground domain. The Lakota Tribes in the US Central Plains also believe they came up out of the Earth at a location named Harney Peak in the Black Hills. The Pajaritan Pueblo Indians have a Legend that they emerged from earth s womb nea r the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. They then traveled down the Rio Grande, sett ing up Pueblos. The area now known as Los Alamos, was considered evil. It was th e home of the underworld Little People, as known by ufologists as Deros. From th ese people would come the curse of The Gourd of Death . The Navajo legends state they once lived Underground, together with the Coyotero s and the White people, below a mountain near Silverton, Colorado. After coming to the surface they went south and settled in the canyons of the Dinetah area, n ear Navaho Dam, between Aztec and Dulce, New Mexico.

According to New Mexican Myth, Montezuma was born near Tao and allegedly trained by beings who lived in caverns, inside Pueblo Peak. The Aztecs tell of their ancestors coming from a land called Aztlan. After escap ing its destruction they ended up in a cavern called Chicomoztoc, or the Seven C avern Cities of Gold. This is where they lived before emerging to the surface Australian aborigines believe their ancestors came up out of the ground and trav eled about the country creating new tribes. This belief also lies with the tribe s Bengal, Burma, Caroline Islands, Papua New Guinea and Malaysia. Plato tells us of many cavities and wonderful regions in the earth, and of subterr anean flows of water, mud, and fire. He says, "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 e arth s deepest chasm . He and other poets refer to it as Tartarus, the land of the d ead. The Greeks believed that the lands of the living were divided from Tartarus by f ierce 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 la rgest of the rivers which the Greeks believed swept into and through Tartarus, eme rging 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 death. Tartarus was said to sink twice as far below the earth as the earth was be neath the sky , and to be bounded by many perils. Tartaras was also the home of th e dethroned gods, the Titans. It contained a variety of regions or kingdoms, ran ging from the Elysian Fields to the many grottoes, caverns, and pits of torment reserved for the damned . The Scandinavian and Germans seen the world as a large yew or ash tree with it s l imbs and roots spreading into many planes of existence. The World Tree s, Yggdrasi l, roots went deep down into subterranean kingdoms, all of which bordered a vast primordial void called Ginnungagap. One root of Yggdrasil led into Niflheim, th e land of the dead. Similar to the Greeks belief, many waters flowed out from th e depths and into the human world; in Niflheim it was the spring/river Hvergelmi r which boiled and churned relentlessly. The 11 tributaries of the Hvergelmir em ptied into the central void of Ginnungagap. The second of Yggdrasil s roots found its way into the lands of the gods, Asgard and Vanaheim. While often pictured as a land high in Yggdrasil s branches, this realm was also subterranean. In fact, t he only world of Norse cosmology that is not subterranean is that of Midgard (mi ddle earth), the surface world. Bifrost, the rainbow bridge , stretched from Midgar d across Ginnungagap into Asgard In the Sumerian, Epic of Gilgamesh, the underworld was filled with a wide range of beings, including spirits, the undead, humanoids, and savage guardians. In hi s search for everlasting life, Gilgamesh first had to reach the mountain of Mash u, connected with the heavens above and the netherworld below. Having been allow ed to enter the gate , he descended into the bowels of the earth through 12 doublehours of darkness before reaching an enclosure as of the gods , filled with brillia nce and a garden made entirely of precious stones. The Bible makes many references to the Inner Worlds : Philippians 2:10, Revised Standard Version: . . at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth . . . Revelation 5:3: And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to o pen the scroll or look into it . . . Matthew 12:40: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the w hale, so will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the

earth. In the Book of Enoch, 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 fir st and last secrets in heaven above, and in the depths of the earth: In the extremities of heaven, and in the foundations of it, and in the receptacl e 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). Following is the Persian Legend of the Koh-Kaf Mountains taken from the pages of Blavatsky s book, The Secret Doctrine : 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 glacia l, gloomy sea, and to a dark region, within which, nevertheless, are situated th e Fortunate Islands, wherein bubbles, from the beginning of life on earth, the f ountain of life. But the legend asserts, moreover, that a portion of the first d ry 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 rin g 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 th e 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 Sim urgh [a marvellous bird, the Persian phoenix] of Tahmurath (or Taimuraz) [third king of Persia], upon which to cross over the Arctic Ocean.* 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 femal e hippopotamus, whose legs become at will twelve wings*; or by those who have th e patience to wait for the good pleasure of Simurgh-anke, who promised that befo re she dies she will reveal the hidden continent to all, and make it once more v isible 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 race, Simurgh being the Manvantaric cycle. * Bailey thought she saw in this horse as a twelve-oared ship. . . Chapter Four Entrances and Tunnel Systems Agharta (Argarti) is said to be the mysterious under ground kingdom located in A sia and linked to the other continents of the world by a gigantic network of und erground tunnels. Although some have been destroyed due to world cataclysms, man y are still left today and are in use. The following are thought to be some of t hese entrances and tunnels. Afghanistan According to British explorer T. Wilkins, the Mongolian tribes of Inner Mongolia believe that there are entrances to a great tunnel system that leads to a subte rranean world of Antediluvian descent somewhere in a recess of Afghanistan Manhattan, New York An entrance to the inner earth tunnels is thought to be reached through an aband oned elevator shaft in Manhattan, New York. Only a few know where the exact loca

tion is and I am not one of them. Canada Another entrance is found in the Nahanni Valley but many of those that have dare d to enter this area have been found decapitated, thus giving the region its nam e The Valley of the Headless Men . The Nahanni Valley in Canada is the land of the Ojibways, the Slave, Dogribs, Stoney, the Beavers and the Chipweyans. It covers 250 square miles in the southern end of the Mackenzie Mountains of Canada and li es almost 550 miles due west of Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie River of northwest Canada. Hot springs and sulfur geysers keep the valley warmer than the surround ing areas by about 30 degrees year-round. This land of perpetual mist is viewed by the Indians as taboo and avoided. Arkansas In northern Arkansas, a 12-man speleological team broke into an ancient tunnel s ystem, encountering inhabitants of the inner-world. Just north of Batesville, explorers found a tunnel illuminated by a greenish pho sphorescence where they met a race of beings who stood 7 to 8 feet tall and had bluish skin. The beings, who have advanced technology, told the explorers they a re the direct descendents of Noah. The Cherokee Indians also tell of this same r ace of blue men . According to the Cherokee they inhabited the areas of Kentucky as well. When the Cherokee came into that area, they killed these blue skinned men off. Apparently the Cherokee were wrong in their assumptions. California Southwestern California holds the legend of Crystal Cave , a large cavern that l inks to Kokoweek Peak. It was reportedly found by Earl Dorr, a miner and prospec tor who followed clues given to him by Indians. Dorr entered Crystal Cave in the thirties and followed a passage down into Kokoweef Mountain for about a mile. H ere he entered a large cavern that he explored for a distance of eight miles. Fl owing at the base of the cavern was a river and its banks were rich with deposit s of gold. For reasons only known to Dorr, he dynamited the entrance. The exact location of this sealed entrance is unknown today The Liyobaa The Livobba ent village translated, Cave Cave is located in the province of Zapoteca, somewhere near the anci of Mictlan (the village of the Underworld). The village of Liyobba , means The Cavern of Death .

The Cavern of Death was located in the last chamber of an eight chamber building or temple. This temple had four rooms above the ground and four more important chambers built below the surface of the Earth. This building was located in Theo zapotlan and the tunnel entrance leads beneath the mountain. Catholic priests in an earlier period of time descended into the caves with lit torches. They discovered what seemed to be an endless passageway with bones stre wn before them from others that had come before them. As they advanced into the mountain, they were assailed with the smell of putrid air and snakes. As they co ntinued forth, a strong cold wind blew their torches out, leaving them in the da rk and causing them to take flight hurriedly back out of the cave. In retreating from the cave, the priest claimed they heard ghastly noises coming from within. When they managed to finally exit, the priest declared the cave home of devils d ordered the entrance be forever sealed. The Maltese Cave. This entrance, known as Hypogeum of Hal Saflienti, is located on the island of M alta, near the village of Casal Paula, which overlooks the town of Malta. In 1902, workmen digging a well in Casal Paula reportedly fell into a subterrane

an

an cavern which connected to an entire complex of caves and tunnels. This discovery led to be a complex of cave, three of which were a series of cham bers excavated out of solid rock on three even lower levels for each chamber. Th is series of underground rooms. When first explored, they found over 30,000 skel etons of men, woman and children inside. The tunnels under the Hypogeum were later sealed off after 30 students entered t he caves on a field trip and disappeared without a trace. The numerous efforts o f search parties looking for the children and guide were in vain. The Staffordshire, England Somewhere in Staffordshire, England a field exists where a man, while digging a trench, discovered a large iron plate beneath the dirt. The "hatch" was large an d oval, with an iron ring mounted on it. This hatch covered an entrance leading into underground tunnels. The only clue we have to its location is that the fiel d is in a valley surrounded by woods and that a report of its discovery can be f ound in "A History of Staffordshire" by Dr. Plot, who wrote the book in the late 1700s. The Dulce, New Mexico Base An underground Military Base/Laboratory in Dulce, New Mexico connects with the u nderground network of tunnels which honeycombs our planet, and the lower levels of this base are allegedly under the control of Inner Earth beings or Aliens. Th is base is connected to Los Alamos research facilities via an underground "tubeshuttle". Beginning in 1947, a road was built near the Dulce Base, under the cover of a lu mber company. The odd things is , according to sources, no lumber was ever haule d, and the road was later destroyed. Navajo Dam is the Dulce Base s main source of power, though a second source is in El Vado, which is also another entrance. Th is information should help you locate the underground complex, if of course you feel brave enough to venture onto the Dulce properties. Most of the lakes near Dulce were made via government grants "for" the Indians. The September, 1983 issue of Omni (Pg. 80) has a color drawing of The Subterrene, the Los Alamos nuclear-powered tunnel machine that burrows through the rock, dee p underground, by heating whatever stone it encounters into molten rock, which c ools after the Subterrene has moved on. The result is a tunnel with a smooth, gl azing lining.) *Although evidence has been found of this machine, there is no signs of molten r ock and the concept ceased being used after 1983 There are over 100 Secret Exits near and around Dulce. Many around Archuleta Mes a, others to the source around Dulce Lake and even as far east as Lindrich. Deep sections of the Complex connect into natural Cavern Systems. (Note: The elevato rs, lights, and doors at Dulce Base are all magnetically controlled.) The area around Dulce has had a high number of reported Animal Mutilations." The researchers at Dulce Base have also abducted several people from Dulce s civilian population and implanted devices of various types in their heads and bodies. (N ote: Livermore Berkeley Labs began producing blood for the Dulce Base in the mid 1980s, and human and animal have now slowed considerably. *If interested, it may be worthwhile to check-out Livermore Berkeley Labs. DELTA group, from the National Recon Group, is responsible for security of all A lien-connected projects. The DELTA symbol is a Black Triangle on a Red Backgroun d. Dulce Base s symbol is a Delta (triangle) with the Greek Letter "Tau" (t) withi n it, and then the entire symbol is inverted, so the triangle points down, and t

he "Tau" is also inverted. A very active UFO base exists beneath Mt. Ranier. There are also said to be unde rground "vaults" containing records of the ancient Lemurians. The ice cap of Mt. Ranier contains a maze of corridors and caves. In August of 1970, scientists climbed to the top of Mt. Ranier, and entered thes e caverns and tunnels. Evidence was found indicating that a small lake exists de ep beneath the ice cap. *It is possible that one could find a way to get beneath Mt. Ranier through these tunnels. The Mt. Lassen Mt. Lassen , Tehama County, California is an entrance leading to a large undergr ound city. Near the foot of Mt. Lassen is a town called Manten. Ralph Fields , M anten, found this entrance and claims that it is in the side of the mountain, a little over 7,000 feet above sea level, and is near a rock outcropping. Death Valley, CA. This entrance is supported by the local Indian Legend which speaks of a tunnel t hat runs beneath Death Valley Desert and the people that used to live in the Pan amint s caverns. The entrance is in the Panamint Mountains down on the lower edge of the range near Wingate Pass, in the bottom of an old abandoned shaft. These tunnels connect with the surface also through arched windows in the side o f the mountain that look down on Death Valley. During ancient times, these windo ws were accessible by boat. The "windows" in the Death Valley side of the Panami nt Mountains are about 4,500-5,000 feet above the bottom of Death Valley, and ar e across from Furnace Creek Ranch. From these openings you can see the green of the ranch below you and Furnace Creek Wash across the valley. (So, with high-pow ered binoculars or a telescope, you should be able to see the openings from the Furnace Creek Ranch, or Wash.) You can drive down Emigrant Canyon towards Death Valley. You can then park beside the road between Furnace Creek Ranch and the Sa lt Bed. (From here, the windows should be visible through binoculars.) The Brown Mountain Entrance Brown Mountain is in North Carolina near Morganton. Morganton is "about 15 miles north of an actual highway marker which has been posted by the state providing any visitor the best view" of Brown Mountain. Brown Mountain is an area in which many strange lights have been seen. Canadian UFO Bases and the Great Lakes Triangle Entrances at Lake Ontario may lead to underwater cities. The Toronto Tunnels lea d to a subterranean city and Lake Ontario "Lights" Orange-colored spheres have b een seen coming out of and diving into Lake Ontario.The area of highest activity is between Oakville and Toronto. There may be a connection to the Lakeview Hydr o-electric plant, as many of these UFOs have been seen heading in that direction . Toronto Entrance: There is a small opening to the underground tunnels off Parlia ment Street in downtown Toronto. The entrance is between two apartment buildings , and leads to the tunnels via the sewers. The underground city beneath Toronto has its center beneath Gerrard Street and Church Street. Above this area, strang e magnetic effects have been observed. It has been noted that this corner of Ger rard & Church streets seems to have a higher accident rate than anywhere else in Toronto. It is also believed that underground equipment utilizing powerful magn etic fields are responsible for the bizarre equipment failures that often are th e cause of these accidents. These tunnels are known by the local Indians and can be found in their legends.

After an iron mine, in Newfoundland Province, had been dug deeper than any other , strange things began occurring and the mine had to be shut down. It is now con demned and off-limits which the police strictly enforce. The mining town is located near the Newfoundland-Quebec Border. Sneaking in late at night seems to be the only way to gain entrance. BRAZIL You can find one tunnel in Brazil near Ponte Grosse in the state of Parana. Anot her entrance is near Rincon, also in the state of Parana. In the state of Santa Catarina, near the city of Joinville . Is a mountain that has an entrance to the tunnels. The Santa Catarina is an area alive with noises coming from underground. There are reports that in Santa Catarina subterranean f ruit orchards can be found. There is also another entrance found in the state of Sao Paulo near Concepiao. The local legend is that the states of Santa Catarina and Parana are honeycombed by a net of Atlantean tunnels that lead to subterran ean cities. Kentucky Mommoth Cave, in South-Central Kentucky Mount Shasta, California, USA The Agharthean city of Telos allegedly exists within and beneath this mountain. Hopi legends say that this mountain is one of the thirteen homes of the Lizard P eople, Reptoids. Native American Indian tribes of California claim that Mount Sh asta is the inner-mountain dwelling place of an invisible race of men. Still more accounts describe the mountain as an inlet to the ancient Lemurian wo rld and that the Lemurian survivors still live today in the tunnels of dead volc anoes. Some suggest that it is a meeting place for the Lothinian Brotherhood, wh o use a stange force , vis mortuus, to carve caverns out of solid rock, which so unds very similar to the equipment used at Dulce, New Mexico. In 1904, J.C. Brown, an explorer for a British mining company, reported that he had discovered a caved in hollow in the side of the mountain complete with one s keleton and hieroglyphic writings on the walls. Brown later quit his job and set tled in Stockton, where he lived out his life selling gold trinkets that he clai med to have in the Mt. Shasta cave. In 1934, Abraham Mansfield said he encountered a tribe of Lemurians, who had dug tunnels connecting Mount Shasta and the Bluff Creek area. A man from San Jose, while hiking on the southern slope, in 1972, came across wh at he described as "a reptilian humanoid." Other visitors to the mountain have reported seeing various sub-human cultures i ncluding dwarfs, big-foot or yeti type creatures and giants dressed in white rob es. On August 16, 1987, believing the mountain to be one of the seven major planetar y chakras of spiriutual tuning forks , thousands came together as part of an intern ational "Harmonic Convergence," designed to bring peace to the whole world. White Sands Missile Base Rumored to have an underground complex and tunnels is in the area around the Whi te Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This area is reported to have been the sec ret headquarters of the great Apache Chief Victorio and is named after him, Vict oria Peak. From what I understand, the army bulldozed the peak out and placed a steel door over the entrance to the mountain passageways. I don t know if this was to keep people from going inside or if it was to keep someone or something insi de from coming out. Maybe it was a little of both.

Hard Scrabble and Geronimo Peak are also honeycombed with tunnels, caves and sec ret entrances. The Hard Scrabble entrance leads down a flight of steps to an und erground river. Manaus, Brazil. Mato Grosso, Brazil Beneath its plain lies the city of Posid. Igua Falls, Border or Brazil and Argentina. Mount Epomeo, Italy. Himalayan Mountains, Tibet The entrance to the underground City of Shonshe is guarded by the Hindu monks. Mongolia The underground City of Shingwa exists beneath the bordesr of Mongolia and China . Rama, India Beneath this surface city lies Rama, a long lost subterranean city. Benares, India While the entrance to Bhogavati is somewhere in the Himalayas, it has been asser ted that Patala can be entered through the Well of Sheshna in Benares, India. Ac cording to herpetologist and author Sherman A. Minton, as stated in his book Ven omous Reptiles, this entrance is very real, with forty steps which descend into a circular depression, to terminate at a closed stone door which is covered in b as-relief cobras. Tibet There is a major mystical shrine also called Patala. Hidden under the shrine is a n ancient cavern and tunnel system, which reaches throughout the Asian continent and possibly beyond. Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. King Solomon s Mines. Dero Caves Superstition Mountains, Arizona Another area to be investigated is the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. Geroni mo would be seen walking into the face of the Mountain, disappearing and then re appearing in New Mexico. The soldiers which were hell bent on capturing the illu sive Apache Chief were mystified as to how he was able to escape the human net s urrounding him and his band. The tunnel systems of the Superstitions are dangerous though and are rumored to be inhabited by Reptilian-type Creatures and supernatural forces. Those that cla im to have penetrated the tunnel tell of the remains of ancient structures and a spiral staircase that leads forever down into the bowels of earth. The main ent rance to the Superstition tunnel system links to numerous tunnel passageways whi ch spider web out as far as Central America. Four Corners in Southwestern USA North and South Poles.

Glastonbury, Britain Known for centuries as Avalon, Glastonbury is legended to have an entrance to An nwn, the British/Welsh name for the Underworld. Turkey In Turkey the discovery of a massive underground city at Derinkuyu revealed a st unning complexity of deep passage ways constructed on at least ten separate leve ls. Some estimates believe there was adequate living space for at least 20,000 p eople. Precisely what purpose this city served or when it was constructed is har d to determine. Chapter Five The Shambhala Energy H.P. Blavatsky, believed her spiritual instructions came to her from the ascende d masters of Shambhalla. These masters gave to the world the Mantra of Christ wh ich we call The Great Invocation . Alice Bailey describes this mantra in the follow ing: "The Invocation or Prayer does not belong to any person or group but to all huma nity. The beauty and the strength of this Invocation lies in its simplicity, and in its expression of certain central truths which all men, innately and normall y, accept: the truth of the existence of a basic Intelligence to Whom we vaguely give the name of God; the truth that behind all outer seeming, the motivating p ower of the universe is Love; the truth that a great Individuality came to earth , called by Christians, the Christ, and embodied that love so that we could unde rstand; the truth that both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God; and finally the self-evident truth that only through humanity i tself can the Divine Plan work out." The Great Invocation From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth. -------------------------------------------From the point of Love within the Heart of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. -------------------------------------------From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men -The purpose which the Masters know and serve. --------------------------------------------From the centre which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out And may it seal the door where evil dwells. --------------------------------------------------Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. Numerology explains the message of The Great Invocation for us. Five is its root value and is the root value of the 21 key words, (capitalized). There are five stanzas. Mankind is in the fifth root race and it is the fifth kingdom of the Hi erarchy that is trying to help humanity. Our five senses are represented as is t he five-pointed star of initiation, symbol of the perfected human. There are seven sentences in the Invocation. This total is in relationship to th e seven rays that operate the Earth, the total of seven root-races, seven rounds of existence, seven globes of development and seven chains within each planetar y scheme. Seven represents the relative perfection of man before attaining Christ-Consciou sness. "From the point of Light within the Mind of God" refers to the Oversoul, the God

in all. "From the point of Love within the Heart of God " refers to the Hierarchy on a C osmic level. "From the centre where the Will of God is known" refers to Shambhala. Shambhala is the planetary center where the Will of God is known. It is the most powerful force that pours into our world. Only twice in Earth s history has the S hambhala energy made its presence felt directly. Once during the Lemurian Age, w hen mankind was suffering a human crisis and secondly in the Days of Atlantis, d uring a time when there was a great struggle beween the Forces of Light and the Forces of darkness. Through the Shambhala Force, we find that we are not alone to fight the Forces o f Darkness. Shambhala s energies are opening our minds and eyes, teaching us that we are not alone in the universe and that there are infinite number of other dim ensions with civilizations much more advanced than ourselves. The lost Wisdom of the Ages are being returned to us and the old souls are being reincarnated as t eachers and guides to help mankind. Shambhala is releasing the energies of will or power (energy of the first divine , the Christ Consciousness) upon the land . The energy of the will is the potency of the life in all beings. In the past it has only been permitted to make contact with the substance of humanity via the Hie rarchy. Now, direct impact has been permitted. World War II was the first evidence of the Shambhala energy, which allowed issue s to be brought to light thus creating a change in old traditions. This energy i s exceedingly strong and must be spoon fed but so far mankind has done remarkabl y well under its influence. As time progresses, however, the impact of the Shambhala force will become even more frequent as mankind develops the power to stand and withstand its power. There was a large direct impact in 1975 and also in the year 2000. Each time Sha mbhala directs its energies into the human consciousness more of the divine plan comes to light, bringing forth further spiritual growth. This energy brings abo ut synthesis, which hold all things within the circle of divine love. Its impact has brought about human thinking more concerned with the production of unity an d the attainment of synthesis in all human relations. One result of its impact w as the forming of the United Nations. Chapter Six Earth Energies and Ley Lines Ley lines are literally rivers of energy that not only flow through the earth bu t between worlds and universes. They have been likened to the veins of the Megav erse, while others see them as a universal transportation system. They are attra cted to places where they naturally attune to, known as nexus points. The Ancients seen the stars as major sources of magical energy. Suns tend to be intra-system node points for ley lines but the energy flows outward from them an d not into them. Many mages believe that at the center of each star is a small p inpoint which intersects with the no dimensional space where the Ancient Ones are being held. Solar and lunar events provide erratic ley lines . In areas of inten se gravity, such as pulsars and other warped stars, ley line energy tends to pool to a much greater degree. Ley lines tend to follow loosely the demands of gravit y, but they have been known to do extremely strange things. Nothing prevents the se lines from running through a planetary core, underwater or solid objects. On a planetary scale, the lines tend to form a web of fairly consistent lines ba

sed on all of the magical hotspots around the planet. Just as lines pool around oly sites , they also follow psychic hotspots.

Sometimes these weak lines never attach to any others and eventually bleed off i nto the environment, but it has been known that in many cases the weaker lines a ttach themselves to the stronger lines, becoming a permanent addition to the web work. Ley lines vary in intensity depending upon the geographical makeup of an area, s uch as mineral deposits , underground streams and gravitational forces . Dependi ng upon the location, ley lines will either support life or be detrimental to it . Every valid sacred site has been found to have water under it. There are two typ e of water, however. There is the water table? water which is regarded as rain wa ter absorbed by the earth. The other is called is called the primary water which is created in the bowels of earth as the by-product of various chemical reactions. This water is forced unde r pressure towards the surface of Earth in what dowsers call domes . In Great Brita in the domes are called blind springs . They could be described to be like geysers that don t reach the surface. The water continues an upward journey until it hit s a layer of rock or clay. The pressure then forces the water out (horizontally) in what dowsers call veins through cracks and fissures in the rocks. One can find primary water under every valid holy site . *When these veins of water reach the surface they are considered to be holy well s, places of healing and spiritual contemplations. These sacred sites are purposely located over primary water as a result of our a ncestors using dowsers . They are are also known to have energy leys flowing alo ng them. Energy leys are normally six to eight feet wide, and are rivers of ener gy that run in a straight line. Since the beginning of time, we have used the po wer of these alignments. Washington D.C. is intentionally aligned to receive the full benefit of the energy lines power, utilizing the Lincoln Memorial, the Tid al Basin Pool and the Dome of the Rotunda over the Capital. In the sixth century, Pope Gregory, in a letter to those who were to carry Catho licism to Britain, cautioned these missionaries NOT to destroy the ancient sites . Gregory wanted them to destroy their idols, but insisted they build the church es on the older holy places, thereby automatically linking alignment to the ley lines and maintaining the power sources. Well aware of these energies, the Bened ictine abbeys and monasteries were built on major power centers. Monte Cassino i n Italy is one, as is Monserrat. Monserrat was thought to have been the castle o f the Holy Grail. At Fulda, in Germany, St. Boniface founded a Benedictine Abbey and from Fulda Christianity was spread throughout Central Germany. The Native American Indians are still tuned into these energies. The Hopi, in Ar izona, with their sacred Kivas know about it and the Iroquois of New York locate their Medicine Wheels and other sacred places at power centers. The forces of nature do not discriminate. He who has the knowledge, hold the pow er, whether it be of the dark side or light. On its darker side we have Adolph H itler. As his Aryan Race Master Plan, Hitler researched folk customs and geomanc y; first to learn more about their Aryan forefathers and later to control Europe geomantically. In Germanien, a Nazi Germanic Culture magazine, there were numerous articles by people like Josef Heinsch who wrote about such things as the heilige linien (hol y lines). Hitler established the Duetsche Ahnenerbe, the German Ancestral Heritage Organiz

ation, to study the spirit of the people, the land of the Nordic Indo-Germanic ( Aryan) race inhabited and to get other Germans interested and involved in its st udy. Wilhelm Teudt, head of the Ahnenerbe, worked closely with Heinrich whom was head of the dreaded Nazi SS. Teudt visited Himmier at Wewelsburg, the SS s Grail Castle in Saxony. The circular Nordturm (North Tower) of this geomantically designed triangular ca stle was said to be the center of the earth . It was built to support the Nazi Arya n race doctrines. Himmler, Albert Speer, Hitler s architect and other Nazis experiment with geomancy throughout Europe in an attempt to control that part of the world. The Fuhrerha uptquartier Wolfsschanze, Hitler s main headquarters was intentionally constructed on an ancient holy power well, at the crossing of two leys. One example of the Nazi s belief in geomancy happened during the German rush to ta ke Moscow. At one point, a detachment of mountain troops were diverted to place the Nazi flag on top of a strategically unimportant mountain, Mt. Elbruz. But fo r the Nazis, this mountain was very important. The Persians, Aryan stock, believ ed that Mt. Elbruz was a world mountain, center of the Earth Energies. Himmler w as convinced that if the Nazi swastika controlled Elbruz, they could better cont rol the Russians. When it was realized how heavy the Nazis were into the occult, the Allies began using the same principles in an effort to undermine his powers. They enlisted th e help of adepts to undo the damage of the Nazi movement. It was for this reason Wellesley Tudor Pole initiated the Silent Minute in Britain during WWII. Each eve ning at nine, all of Britain stopped for one minute and focused their energies t o pray for peace. * Bush also used this same concept using the school children to pledge allegianc e to the flag at a certain time every day, after the WTC was attacked and we wen t to war in Afghanistan. At this moment, when all of Britain was as one, created an especially clear channel between the visible and invisible worlds. According to them, the spiritual realms were more than willing to come to the aid of thos e who fought against men who would use the Earth Energies to conquer the world. What a powerful tool for psychically uniting a people! Most people don t realize j ust how much of World War II was fought on these spiritual levels. In 1853, William Pidgeon was shown the Effigy Mounds , consisting of various kin ds of earthworks, including geometrical constructions , animal and human shapes. These range of mounds extended in direct and continuous lines and were found in Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio. It was noted that characters of the symbols or effigi es were found at points where principle lines intersected each other and primary water was found under each of the markers. To make a long story short, the Effi gy Mounds are ley markers or leys. In the 1950 s, Tony Wedd , made an important discovery and announcement that opene d up a whole new theory on ley lines . He made claim that certain UFO sightings appeared to be in straight lines. He called them "orthotenies", meaning alignmen ts of landed or low-level UFO sightings. Were they using the ley lines possibly as an earth map? Rifts As a rule, major ley lines don t cross each other. When they do, the cross section is called a nexus point. At this intersection, rifts are formed, which is a tea r in reality. The size of the rift would be in accordance to the stress of the reality of the environment around the nexus point proportional to the ley lines that cross. To

simplify this statement, let me explain it this way. If two small ley lines cros sed in a remote locations, a small rift, if any, would appear. However, an area such as Stonehenge that has a number of very strong major lines crossing it and numerous minor ones tend to create larger and even multiple rifts. Frequency of rift openings is determined by the relative strength of the nexus p oint. If a strong magical nexus exists, the chance to split Reality occurs more often.
