September 13th, 2001 - Nostradamus and Eternity and Ayers Rock Since I last wrote in my Blog, New York has been devastated and the Pentagon is till ablaze. Never doubt the shock and sorrow of the entire world. To show a few Palestinians rejoicing over this horror was done in poor taste and was biased reportage. This picture, I feel sure, did not and does not represent how the Lebanese will feel over the suffering of tens of thousands of innocent people. I mentioned in an earlier Blog that I was going to Alice Springs - in a world that by contrast to today -was then innocent. A brief history lesson on Australia. This country is the oldest landmass on Planet Earth. Our country has no real mountains as they have all been eroded by the aeons. From Sydney to our Red Centre on our famous train, The Ghan, was amazing. Let me assure you from western New South Wales and much of South Australia and all of the Northern Territory, the soil is blood red. It is also thousands of square miles of desert. I left on Sunday at noon from Central Station. A day and a half later I arrived at Adelaide, the capital of South Australia and went on a tour as this was my first visit there. Then back onto a much longer Ghan - about 150 metres longer - and another day and night into The Alice. A vast range known as the Macdonnel Ranges, stark, red, mauve, ochre - the colours change -surrounds Alice Springs. Aeons ago these ranges dwarfed the Himalayas! The Alice is actually in an old valley and the entrance into this town is through The Gap. This Gap was created by a mighty torrent of water as the snows melted over those aeons. It has to be seen physically to be believed. There is immediately a sense of perspective and understanding of the meaning of Eternity. If you allow yourself, you can merge with this feeling and become one with a fact of life in which we are all involved. The river beds are present from those aeons ago but they are shallow, sandy and as with all The Outback, give out a subtle energy I would have quite liked to melted into. They carry water and flood when the rains come. There is the Fink River that is the oldest river in the world still on its original course. There were puddles of water in it, the sand is ochre, and when it floods the water again spreads over the land. Alice Springs gets its water from 'Aquafers'. In some instances you can be drinking water (its delicious) that may well be thousands of years old. Uluru, or Ayers Rock has no doubt been seen all over the world now. I know what its like to be an ant after touring The Outback. Eventually I dared to reach up and touch this three hundred million years old Rock. The Rock stands there, solitary, massive, mute. The Rock carries a message given out in the surrounding silence: 'I'll still be here as long as the planet is here...' 'I emerged from Eternity...' to the thinkers and feelers, it issues a silent challenge to understand Eternity. Climb up it if you must and many a fool does and many a fool has died. There are brass plaques commemorating the deaths that have occurred at Uluru. To climb it is to profane it in my humble opinion. The Aboriginals feel the same way. Then we went to Kata Tjuta or The Olgas. Kata Tjuta are from the same time that Uluru was formed. They too are filled with power and magic. And silence. They too change colour from mauves and pinks and brilliant pure red to ochre. Its an amazing thing to witness. On the five-hour journey to Uluru from Alice, there is a another silent monument to Timelessness. Mount Connor is six hundred millions years old and is the left over of a massive glacier. It's on a private cattle station. I arrived back in Sydney on Sunday the 9th September, having left Alice on the Ghan at one p.m. on Friday 7th. Monday was spent quietly cruising around with a mind that seemed to be detached, dreaming, sorting out my feelings about the journey into an ancient past. Then there was the horror of Tuesday. As we all know or remember by now, this was predicted by Nostradamus around four hundred years ago. He mentions Australia will survive Armageddon but we'll be overrun by Asians... I hope they can survive in the vast desert that makes up most of Australia... You and I are all a part of Eternity. When the Final Sentencings are dished out upon our physical deaths, it is then our lives will be reviewed and how we've lived will be looked at dispassionately. We will know ourselves exactly how badly we've erred, sinned or committed grave crimes, been evil. It is all who are evil who must then be sentenced to The Black Door for a speedy extermination of the evil that is abroad in the universe, not just our planet. Then a thorough education must be given to the survivors in the spirit world. The human race will then have to learn about reincarnation, about Unconditional Love, to learn that there is only one 'religion' - Nature. To learn to respect one another regardless of colour. The greatest crimes in this world have been about the colour of our skin and religions... When the big crunch comes, doesn't that look as ridiculous as it is? These are two of the major reasons we now stand appalled by what has happened in America. Yes, there's greed, a desire for power and all that stuff... but... isn't what's happening now about skin colour and religion? And wasn't it all spelled out in Genesis 16 to 22? If you really read what Yahweh was up to with Abraham and his two sons, one a full Jew, Isaac; the other part Jew part Egyptian (with his young Egyptian mother) Ishmael, who led the Arabian nations, you will surely see the stage was then set for today. Because then began the never-ending war between these two tribes that was meant to lead to Armageddon. I have finished three of the books in my Quartet - the first one you can buy through Amazon U.K. And I'm well into the 4th book, 'Where Parallels Meet' which is dealing with the 20th Century where everything comes to a climax in this, the 21st Century. Read 'The Far Side of Eternity' and look back into how the Universe began, look into the innocence that existed in The Realm of the Gods. How it all fell apart is revealed as the Quartet continues. Don't fear death; instead know fear over hurting or damaging or ruining the lives of those around you. That's what we'll all be confronted with in the Final Analysis.
