| This page didn't actually come about starting today, but began because
of some events that occurred earlier this week.
Three nights in a row I dreamed that I was moving from one apartment to another in the same building. In the third dream, my sons Michael and William helped me move one bed on top of another, and in another dream, I had TV sets in every room, but in the bedroom I had two large windows over the headboard of the bed that were actually TV sets, and a third TV set that was smaller, but was also a computer. This third TV set, I was able to shut off so that I could use it to communicate to the internet. After I had those dreams, I was feeling differently ... not good, nor bad ... just different. However, I couldn't put my finger on what the change was. The next day, after Joe had been tripping out for several days on information he was finding about rabbits (that will become another page he will write), he suggested that we add another dimension to our website. He wasn't certain what he wanted to do, and after some discussion, in which I mentioned things like 'survival', 'ecology', 'gardening', 'preparation for the end times', he stated that he wanted to do some pages on 'coincidences'. Well, that was fine with me, however, outside of seeing 11:11 and 4:44 and 3:33 on the clock frequently, and speaking a word in something I was reading and having someone on TV say the same word, I didn't see much going on. Joe's coincidences lately were about the same as mine ... little things but no big deal. Today that changed and we are presenting it below: Dee Joe's note: Seth through Jane Roberts once said that if we paid more attention to coincidences we would see a whole different order to reality. Carl Jung developed a synchronicity theory based on coincidences that seemed well timed and meaningful. Seth also said that the unconscious mind is evolving and learning to leave signposts. He may have been suggesting that coincidences can serve as signposts, helping us to understand meanings. Dee and I hope to develop this part of our work. |

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! To me it was a surprise. That happens so rarely. I didn't remember any dreams last night, but I woke with a voice in my head that said one word and that word was ' preparedness '. After that I had a vision of writing an e-mail and receiving an e-mail from someone I thought the name was 'Mundra'. That's what it sounded like. I'm used to spending 1/2 hour or more every morning writing in my dream journal, but except for the word 'preparedness' and the name 'Mundra' I had nothing to do. After an hour or so, a car pulled in the driveway and we got a visitor ... our local Jehovah Witness lady, whom I like very much. She is young, has a wonderful little girl, and has the most glorious giggle when she laughs. She only started coming here about 3 months ago, so we don't know her name, but I always comment how I love to hear her laugh. Today, she brought her little booklets which we always read. This one was particularly interesting because it fit into one of my suggested ideas above and I told Joe I was going to follow up on it, because it looked 'coincidental to me'. Here it is:
IS THE WORLD RUNNING OUT OF WATER? At midday every Thursday for the past thousand years, a unique tribunal has sat in the Spanish city of Valencia. It's job is to resolve disputes over water. Local farmers in the fertile Valencian plain depend on irrigation, and irrigation requires lot of water - which has always been in short supply in this part of Spain. The farmers can appearl to the water tribunal whenever they feel that they are not getting their fair share. Disputes over water are nothing new, but they are rarely resolved so equitably as in Valencia. Nearly 4,000 years ago, a violent dispute erupted among shepherds about access to a well near Beer-sheba in Israel. (Genesis 21:25) and water problems in the Middle East have become much worse since then. At least two prominent leaders in the the region have said that water is the one issue that could lead them to declare war on a neighboring State. In the semiarid countries of the world, water has always aroused strong feelings. The reason is simple: Water is vital to life. As Kofi Annan pointed out, "fresh water is precious: we cannot live without it. It is irreplaceable: there are no substitutes for it. And it is sensitive: human activity has a profound impact on the quantity and quality of fresh water available." Today, as never before, both the quantity and quality of our planet's fresh water are under threat. We should not be misled by the apparently abundant supply in some fortunate parts of the world. In many countries, water shortages stem from inefficient use, degradation of the available water by pollution and the unsustainable use of underground water in aquifers.
Only 1% of the water on earth is fresh water: Of a population of roughly 6.1 billion, more than 1 billion lack access to potable water. The World Health Organization says that at any time, up to half of humanity has one of the six main diseases -- diarrhea, schistosomiasis, or trachoma, or infestation with ascaris, guinea worm, or hookworm -- associated with poor drinking water and inadequate sanitation. About 5 million people die each year from poor drinking water, poor sanitation, or a dirty home environment -- often resulting from water shortage. The water crisis is so bad that, according to UNEP: Every eight seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease; 50 percent of people in developing countries suffer from one or more water related diseases; 80 percent of the diseases in the developing world are caused by contaminated water; 50 percent of people on Earth lack adequate sanitation; 20 percent of freshwater fish species have been pushed to the edge of extinction by contaminated water. WHERE HAS ALL THE WATER GONE?
Cherrapunji, India, is one of the wettest places on earth. Since there is little vegetation left to hold the water, it rushes away almost as quickly as it falls from the sky. Two months after the monsoon rains have gone, water becomes scarce. Robin Clarke, in his book 'Water: The International Cirsis," years ago described Cherrapunji as "the wettest desert on earth". Not far downstream from Cherrapunji lies Bangladesh, a densely populated, low-lying country that bears the brunt of the monsoon waters that cascade down the denuded hillsides of India and Nepal. Some years, two thirds of Bangladesh gets flooded. But one the floodwaters subside, the Ganges River slows to a trickle, and the land becomes parched. Over 100 million people in Bangladesh face this cruel, yearly cycle of floods and drought. To make matters worse, well water there has become contaminated with arsenic, which may have already poisoned millions of people. In Nukus, Uzbekistan, not far from the Aral Sea, salt rather than arsenic is the problem. White, crusty deposits are enveloping the cotton plants an stunting their growth. The salt rises to the surface from waterlogged subsoil. This problem, called salinization, is not a new one. Mesopotamian agriculture went into decline four thousand years ago for exactly the same reason. Too much irrigation along with poor drainage causes salts in the soil to accumulate at the surface. To get a decent harvest, more and more fresh water must be used. However, eventually the soil becomes useless - for generations to come. Where Does All the Water go? Unfortunately, much of the rain occurs in the form of torrential downpours. These not only cause flooding but also result in water running quickly off the land and into the sea. And some places get a lot of rain, while others get little. Cherrapunji has been known to record more than 1,000 inches of rain in one 12 month period, whereas the Atacama desert in northern Chile may experience several years without any significant rainfall at all. Furthermore, most of the people on our planet live where water is not plentiful. Relatively few people, for example, live in the tropical areas of aFrica and South America where rainfall in abundant. The mighty Amazon River disgorges into the Atlantic Ocean 15 percent of the annual global runoff, yet because the population in that area is sparse, very little water is needed for human consumption. On the other hand, some 60 million people live in Egypt, where rainfall is minimal,a nd practically all their water needs must be met by the depleted Nile River. Years ago such disparities in water supplies did not cause serious problems. According to one survey, in 1950 no region on earth suffered from a very low or extremely low water supply. But those times of plentiful water have changed. In arid regions of North Africa and Central Asia, the amount of water available per person has dropped to a tenth of what it was in 1950. Apart from the population increase and the low rainfall in many densely populated areas, demand for water has risen for other reasons. In the world today, progress and prosperity go hand in hand with a reliable water supply. WATER MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND The production of one ton of steel can consume 280 tons of water. Manufacturing one pound of paper can require as much as 700 pounds of water To make a typical U.S. car, the manufacturer uses 50 times the car's weight in water To produce one pound of steak from California beef cattle requires 2,500 gallons of water Processing just one frozen chicken takes at least seven gallons of water

After we received the booklet and I told Joe I was going to follow up on that topic, we went to a restaurant to have breakfast with the rest of our family, and before we even got seated in the restaurant, I started to get dizzy and felt like I was going to fall over. Reason? Dehydration! How much of a coincidence is that? Needless to say I had to come home. I went to bed with a bottle of water by my side, and Joe went back to the restaurant. I didn't sleep, but while I was laying there, I started having visions, which matched the one I had earlier in the day. Again I saw two e-mails between myself and the person named 'Mundra'. I then had a vision of numerous little grey aliens, all laying dead on the floor. It was as though I was hovering over them. The bodies were laying every which way, no particular direction, but needless to say I was rather shocked to see that. Then Joe came home and I told him what I had seen and the coincidence about the water. Joe said he had a coincidence with water as well. He had watched a movie, which was a true story about an event that happened in 1939. The name of the movie was ' The Inner Circle ' . In the movie was a dripping faucet that dripped harder and harder and the sound got louder and louder until it was thunderous. At that moment, the scene changed to the thunderous sound of soldiers marching in goose-step. He then recalled two other movies that had similar scenes in them: The Lion King: Scar stands on top of a rock, as he plans to take over as leader of the African savannah. Scar intends to kill his brother, Mufasa, the Lion King. In this scene Scar sings a song, the lyrics of which are below, as the hyenas march in goose-step. |

| Joe then remembered his very first dream voice message which was also
about 'water', which occurred in 1977, "A known need for your tear is tomorrow
a staff!" Joe explains it this way, (see page 179 of our book
"Great
Dreams - A Search for Truth") (The book will be released by 7-15-2001)
"My wife's daughter, from a previous marriage, became interested in various symbols. At the end of September 1990, we talked about a tear drop shape from a Chinese myth about Pan-Ku. She was inspired to draw a very interesting picture of two tear-drops forming a heart. She titled the picture, "Tear Down the Wall" based on the Pink Floyd film. She did not realize the double meaning of the word "tear," until I mentioned it. I was then reminded of my dream voice message. Within the two tear drops, she drew cartoon figures of a male bear and a female lion. I was to learn later that Pan-Ku is credited with bringing the Yin-Yang, a duality symbol, to bring order out of chaos.
In the movie, "The Wall" there is a prominent symbol, which is somewhat similar to the Yin Yang.
The symbol could be interpreted as a yin yang symbol ... a circle bi-sected by a line, which is commonly found in crop circles, represents the dual deity. The upper white portion could be considered the conscious mind and the physical or corporal reality, and the lower red half could be considered the unconscious mind. These are often symbolized by male/female duality. The handles of the hammers, being in the unconscious, may suggest that the conflicts in the physical reality above are being controlled from the unconscious realm . This would fit well with the idea of Kali and the Harlot. Another idea portrayed in the movie, is the male teacher using the school children in an abusive way. The teacher is being controlled by his wife . . . in other words, the male logical mind is being controlled by the emotional/unconscious female mind. The Harlot in the book of Revelation in the Bible : Rev. 17-1 - "Then one of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls came and said to me, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great Harlot who is seated on many waters (2) with whom the Kings of the Earth have committed fornication, and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on Earth have become drunk.' 17:15 and he said to me, 'the waters that you saw where the Harlot is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.' (16) and the 10 horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the Harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, (17) for God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose, by being of one mind and giving over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. (18) and the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the Kings of the Earth'. (Babylon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kali, here in the Chinnamasta aspect, representing Devi in her destructive and creative aspects. She is flanked by her two yoginis, Dakini and Varnini. Under her Rati and Kama, the female and male principles, depict the transcendence of the phenomenal world and the abolition of the experience of duality. We are now in the Age of Kali Yuga, (The Age of Iron) which when it ends will return to the first Age again which is the Age of Gold. (See Daniel 2:31-45) The Dream of Nebuchadnezzer. The four metals in the Bible's Book of Daniel are the same as the Yugas in the Hindu religion. From: (http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/isis/iu2-06.htm) Even the four ages of the Hindu chronology contain a far more philosophical idea than appears on the surface. It defines them according to both the psychological or mental and the physical states of man during their period. Crita-yug, the golden age, the "age of joy," or spiritual innocence of man; Treta-yug, the age of silver, or that of fire -- the period of supremacy of man and of giants and of the sons of God; Dwapara-yug, the age of bronze -- a mixture already of purity and impurity (spirit and matter) the age of doubt; and at last our own, the Kali-yug, or age of iron, of darkness, misery, and sorrow. In this age, Vishnu had to incarnate himself in Christna, in order to save humanity from the goddess Kali, consort of Siva, the all-annihilating -- the goddess of death, destruction, and human misery. Kali is the best emblem to represent the "fall of man"; the falling of spirit into the degradation of matter, with all its terrific results. We have to rid ourselves of Kali before we can ever reach "Moksha," or Nirvana, the abode of blessed Peace and Spirit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About a month later, I recalled a television show about the new science of chaos. Scientists found that a dripping water faucet had an attractor pattern identical to the human heartbeat. These are shapes displayed on a computer monitor, based on the mathematics of the equations involved. |

| PAN-KU
The myth of Panku - the Chinese creation story Long ago there was a time when neither heaven or earth existed. Everything was in darkness, confused, and all mixed-up. Nothing that is now in the universe was made. All the bits that were needed to make the universe were trapped inside a single egg. Inside this yolk of chaos and confusion grew a giant. This giant was called Pan Ku. Thousands of years passed, eventually Pan Ku became too big to stay inside the egg. So the shell cracked open and shattered away. All the bits inside that were light floated up and up, they finally settled to make the glittering heavens above. All the bits that were heavy sank. They dropped down and down, and it was these bits that formed the earth. The giant, Pan Ku, looked up and then down, he saw the heavens above his head and the earth below his feet. He knew that if something didn’t hold the heavens and the earth apart that they would eventually go back together again. If this ever happened then chaos and confusion would return once more. It was at that moment that Pan Ku realized that his life’s task was to hold heaven and earth apart. So Pan Ku grew and grew, taller and taller, until his head pushed up against the heavens and his feet pressed down upon the earth. Each day the heavens were nudged a little bit higher and the earth was made a little thicker beneath his feet. And so it was, that for eighteen thousand ages Pan Ku grew, year after year, bigger and bigger. He was now like a great pillar holding the heavens and the earth apart until they became secure and stable. But such hard work finally took it’s toll on Pan Ku. For even the mighty Pan Ku couldn’t escape death. So one day, worn out by his long struggle he collapsed and died. Yet, as he fell his body began to change. As he breathed his last breath it became the breeze, the winds and the clouds. His voice became the roar of thunder. Both his eyes were transformed. The right eye rose up and became the moon in the sky, his left eye became the sun. The silver hairs of his head became the stars in the night sky. Pan Ku’s four limbs became the four corners of the world. His body, which was now so vast, became the mountains, the hills and the valleys. His blood turned into the rivers and gave life to the fields and the meadows which were his skin. His flesh became the soil, and his bones and teeth became the rocks and the minerals. While the hairs on his body became the many grasses, trees and flowers. From his sweat came the rain and dew-drops of the morning. But it was from the little parasites that had been living on his body that the human beings came. So it was from Pan Ku, the ancestor of the universe, that the heavens became beautiful and the earth became full of wonderful life. The Chinese identify the elements thusly: They are also identified with the four supernatural animals: water with the tortoise, wood with the dragon, fire with the phoenix, metal with the tiger and, in addition, earth with mankind. However, the Chinese believe these elements which we touch and perceive are but the lowest expression of rarefied, imperceptible energies that are a part of, and that flow through, all beings who make up the inner and outer realms of nature. Further, they believe these higher energies are eternal and beyond our power to know or describe: that which can be seen and named is not the real or enduring. To them, the lines from their ancient "Book of History" (Shu Ching, c. 1000 B.C.) refer to these causal, energic essences when they describe the eternal yin-yang balance of nature: Water produces Wood, but destroys Fire; Fire produces Earth, but destroys Metal; Metal produces Water, but destroys Wood; Wood produces Fire, but destroys Earth; Earth produces Metal, but destroys Water.

| Joe also recalled that in the Pink Floyd Movie, "The Wall", there
is a scene in which hammers are shown marching like soldiers to a thunderous
tone.
We also then remembered that we had watched the movie not long ago, "Erin Brockovich" with Julia Roberts, which was about water which was poisoned in the state of California were sickened and died and there was a big court case over it. (See news articles following) That led to further discussion about President Bush and the 'arsenic in water' fiasco that is going on", the President Bush 'fluoride in water' fiasco that is also going on and in both cases, people are going to be sickened without being aware that it is happening because they trust the government. Unwittingly, I might add. Thursday June 28, 2001 Environmental Group Sues EPA Over Arsenic in Water WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A major U.S. environmental group, backed by six Democratic senators, on Thursday filed a lawsuit challenging the Bush administration's decision to suspend stricter limits for arsenic in drinking water. The Natural Resources Defense Council accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (news - web sites) of unlawfully reversing its position on tighter arsenic rules and ignoring a June 22 deadline set by Congress for new standards. Sen. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, said she would file documents in support of the lawsuit at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. Also signing the friend-of-the-court document were Democratic senators Harry Reid of Nevada, Charles Schumer of New York, Jon Corzine of New Jersey, Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, and Hillary Clinton -- whose husband's administration issued a stricter rule for arsenic just before leaving office. Arsenic, which has been linked to cancer, naturally occurs in groundwater as a result of minerals dissolving over time from rocks and soil. The Clinton administration issued a plan in January to cut the maximum amount of arsenic allowed in drinking water from the current 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb. The 10 ppb standard is the same used by the World Health Organization and the European Union . Under President Bush , the EPA announced it would halt the stricter standards to allow more time for studying the issue. A sharply lower limit for arsenic in drinking water is opposed by some small communities, who claim it would be too costly and produce only limited health benefits. The EPA, which spent some 20 years considering arsenic levels in drinking water, faced a June 22, 2001 deadline set by Congress for new standards. ``The Bush EPA's suspension of the arsenic is a distressing, unscientific, and illegal threat to the health of millions of Americans,'' said Erik D. Olson, an attorney with the environmental group. ``There is no excuse for delaying or weakening the standard just finalized in January of this year.'' The EPA previously said it would issue a new rule by early next year that would take effect in 2006, the same deadline included in the January rule. The Bush administration rule will sharply reduce the amount of arsenic allowed in water, but will base it on the outcome of a National Academy of Sciences study, according to the EPA. Last year, the U.S. Geological Survey found that arsenic concentrations in ground water generally were highest in the West and in some parts of the Midwest and Northeast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOURCE: NYS Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation Dentists Unknowingly Endorse Arsenic and Lead Into Our Drinking Water NEW YORK, June 21, 2001 /PRNewswire/ -- Without residents' consent, dentists in little towns, big cities and some states convince trusting legislators to add fluoride, claimed to reduce tooth decay, into water supplies. However, the fluoride treatment chemicals used are contaminated with lead, arsenic and other toxic industrial by-products. According to the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), the only three chemicals certified for fluoridation are: Hydrofluosilicic or Fluosilicic acid, Sodium Fluoride, and Sodium Silicofluoride (1) ``...the most common contaminant detected in these products is Arsenic...,'' reports NSF. ``The other significant contaminant found...is Lead,'' they report. ``All of the fluoride chemicals used in the U.S. for water fluoridation, sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate, and fluorosilicic acid, are byproducts of the phosphate fertilizer industry'' wrote Tom Reeves, National Fluoridation Engineer, U.S. Centers for Disease Control CDC). ``Arsenic...had an average of 0.43... parts per billion (ppb) in the drinking water attributable to the fluoride chemical,'' he reports.(2) Also, CDC's ``Water Fluoridation A Manual for Engineers and Technicians,'' (Reprinted 1991) reads, ``sodium silicofluoride is widely used as a chemical for water fluoridation. As with most silicofluorides, it is generally obtained as a by product from the manufacture of phosphorus fertilizers.'' (page 15) But dentists don't seem to know or admit this. In a newspaper interview, American Dental Association fluoridation spokesman, Michael Easley, DDS, who promotes fluoridation via his National Center for Fluoridation Policy and Research website at the University of Buffalo, NY, was quoted as saying, ``... there are the contrived arguments that claim fluoride ... is a chemical pollutant, a toxic byproduct... There is no scientific basis for any of these claims.'' (3) ``It's shameful for dentists to endanger the public and mislead the media,'' says lawyer, Paul Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation. The American Water Works Association is worried about arsenic-contaminated fluoride chemicals. If arsenic's maximum contaminant level is reduced to 5 ppb, ``90 percent of the arsenic that would be contributed by treatment chemicals is attributable to fluoride addition,'' according to their journal, ``Opflow.'' ``We understand the considerable expense it takes for communities to remove naturally occurring arsenic from water supplies; but it is unconscionable that water engineers are allowed to purposely add lead- and arsenic- contaminated fluoride into water supplies without consumers' knowledge or informed consent, at the urging of misinformed dentists,'' says Beeber. Arsenic in drinking water causes bladder, lung and skin cancer, and may cause kidney and liver cancer. Lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and at high levels, seizures, coma and even death. Some experts say safe levels for arsenic or lead don't exist. Arsenic levels as high as 1.66 ppb have been found in hydrofluosilicic treated drinking water (1), which, according to the National Academy of Sciences, is a cancer risk (4). 1) http://www.fluoridealert.org/NSF-letter.pdf 2) http://www.fluoridealert.org/ifin-230.htm 3) http://www.buffalo.edu/reporter/vol30/vol30n17/n5.html 4) http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/arsenic/chap1.asp SOURCE: NYS Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is also a big power struggle going on within the southwest United States, and particularly California over water rights, because there is a BIG shortage of water that people don't really realize. Salmon pitted against drinking water in California Monday, June 19, 2000 By John H. Orr, The Business Press, Ontario, California In December, a group of federal biologists decided the run of young salmon in California's Sacramento River was more important than a stable supply of drinking water for the Inland Empire. They diverted the southward flow of water to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to restore the habitat of the spring-run chinook. The action could have sapped vital Inland Empire reserves and boosted prices for a booming economy, said Dick Heil, spokesman for the Eastern Municipal Water District, which relies on northern imports for 75 percent of its supplies. "It was a near thing," Heil said. "There was great concern." Reservoirs were replenished in time to avert a shortage, but the incident, among others, left urban and agricultural customers howling, and threatened to cripple the joint power consortium known as CALFED, the agency in charge of allotting water resources among users. Now Inland Empire water officials are hailing a breakthrough CALFED proposal outlined June 9 to balance the interests of builders, growers and environmentalists. "We're very encouraged by the agreement," Heil said. "It's a very long-term project, but we believe it's very positive." "The CALFED plan is a magnificent step in the right direction to answer many long-term water issues in California," said Joseph Grindstaff, general manager of the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, an alliance of water users protecting local water supplies. "We'll effectively be drought-proofing the region as we develop high-quality water, enhance natural storage facilities and remedy environmental conditions that have jeopardized our watershed system," Grindstaff said in a June 9 release. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program calls for spending more than $1 billion over the next seven years on dams, reservoirs and levees as well as facilities for improving both the quality and quantity of water shipped south. "Don't underplay the importance of water quality," Heil said. Local purveyors mix clean Delta imports with saline water from the Colorado River and local aquifers to comply with state quality standards. Wetter and better The CALFED plan, among other goals, is designed to: Increase groundwater storage by 500,000 to 1 million acre-feet*. Restore the reliability and flexibility of exports eroded by recent protective fishery measures. Allow a reliable water transfer market to function. Expand reservoirs and other sites to store an additional 950,000 acre-feet and provide environmentally sensitive groundwater storage for an additional 500,000 to 1 million acre-feet. * An acre-foot can supply an average family for two years.

I also then recalled that the Chinese and North Vietnam used the dripping water torture on P.O.W.s to make them talk about things that they were trying to keep to themselves. Chinese water torture (where water is dripped on the head for hours until it feels like one's head is exploding) Chinese water torture" is used in espionage is where a drop of water is set to drop on your head and into your eyes continually for 24, 36, or even 48 or more hours...and in some cases literally drives the person almost go crazy |

| After that conversation, I tried to get some sleep, and instead I
was bombarded by more visions and thoughts, one of which was "The Tide Has
Turned".
That reminded me that I had a vision I had within a dream a couple weeks ago that was, "RUE THE TIDE". 5-15-2001 - DREAM - I saw a door open towards the other side of the room, and saw people beyond it. It was a surprise for me. I went into the room and someone said, "The whole choir is here." I looked at their faces and recognized them, although I don't know their names. The black director whom I don't know looked at me and said, 'What do you know about Jesus." I answered, "I know everything about Jesus," and we both raised our hands in the air and said, "Praise the Lord". Then I looked over towards the choir and the whole scene faded and changed and I was standing on the edge of the ocean and the tides were going out. A big, loud booming voice said, "Rue the Tides" and I saw the tide being sucked out further and the voice said again, "Rue the tides" and I knew that there was going to be a big earthquake that would make a huge Tsunami come in. When I reminded Joe about this, he remembered that Roberta of The Dream Network Journal had a dream about the tide, which she called, "The Tide is Turning", and I've had many dreams about 'water', tides, and tsunamis over the years. She made the dream into a poem. It's from 1993.
The Tide Is Turning
My dreambody swims many bodies of water
There is a conscious knowing in my being as I play:
In this moment of knowing, I'm inside a blue ocean wave
(At one point I stand with my 'back to the wall'
Before it collapses, I plunge into its heart
It isn't caressing and teasing the land, (are you glancing?)

| Here is another dream about being prepared and the tide from the Widening
Gyre by Yeats!
6-30-98 - VISIONS AND VOICES - "It is better to be prepared. You usually try to do everything alone. We keep talking about the widening gyre and you keep rejecting it. You're a mirror image of what's happening. Two days for a visit of truth." I then saw a woman dressed all in white jump down from a high perch. She tackled Superman (the typical). She also had a white cape which flowed behind her. I went into a dream where I was caring for two small girls. I thought they were out in the street playing. Then I realized what I thought were the girls were just two pieces of trash paper laying on the highway. I looked again and thought I saw the girls too close to the ocean but that was two other girls. I looked again and my two girls were playing safely in a sandbox where I couldn't see them unless I leaned forward. I then saw two little boys from the neighborhood. One of them had two black dog leashes and collars. The leashes were very short and strong. I felt that if I hadn't been there, they would have put them on the girls. My presence kept my girls safe. I heard the boy's mother call them home. I thought to myself, "they didn't need to play with the leashes in the first place." I was sitting on a driveway writing in my notebook and I noticed that if it rained, the water would run downhill into the garage because there was a sharp drop off in the driveway to where the vehicles were kept at night. When the boys left, I went into the house and in the diningroom, I opened the bottom part of the buffet (a cabinet) and there I saw stored beer, Mellow Yellow, and water. I took the beer, decided I needed to calm down. I had a long piece of paper in my hand on which was a long complicated recipe. I held it too near the blue flame on the stove and it burned to a crisp before I could pull it away. I thought, "Oh well! I didn't really need that anyway. "Then I noticed all the electric burners were red hot and glowing and it seemed ominous to me. NOTE: The Widening Gyre. "by Yeats"
Turning and turning in the widening gyre, 6-30-98 - VISION - As I closed my eyes for the night, I saw a spinning mass turning to the right and getting wider and wider as it spun. It began to look like a universe of stars as it spun. |

Subj: [earthchanges] TIDES OF TIME Date: 6/30/2001 From: pjf@xxx To: earthchanges@yahoogroups.com (earthchanges) Hi Everyone, The tides of time come and go - and we feel safe in the great scheme of things. That is a false illusion isn't it? This is because space is full of stuff just waiting to hit the planet. It is estimated that there is now a 1 in 20,000 chance of us being hit - and that is less than winning the lottery. About 250 million years ago, the Planet Earth was safe and secure. It was a strange world full of dragonflies - and a dominant species had evolved. These creatures were called Therapsids - and they were dog sized reptiles, with mammal like qualities. It is interesting to speculate how the Therapsids would have evolved, if it was not for a terrible cataclysm. It was 251 million years ago, that an asteroid travelling at 300,000 mph hit the planet - and 95% of all life was destroyed. That was at the time when all of the continents, were joined together in a vast land mass called Pangaea. This brought about an end to the Permian Era - but there was another evolution after that. This created the dinosaurs - and they were supreme for 180 million years. It is also interesting to speculate, what they would have evolved into isn't it? Maybe on another timeline, they already have advanced scientifically and technically. The dinosaurs dominance ended, when an asteroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. After that, there was another evolution which resulted in humanity - along with sabre toothed tigers and the woolly mammoths. This came to an end, with another cataclysm, which brought the Ice Age to an end - and our modern era began. Those tides of time still goes on of course, as 93 years ago a tiny object hit the Tunguska Region of Siberia. At the time it caused a wide devastation - but humanity was not then effected. Anyway, the Therapsides, Tyrannosaurus, and Mammoths are now fossilized. Will we be next? All the best PJF

THE SHOW WAS OVER
A Dream by Jan Ingersoll In the mid '80s I dreamed one of my strongest teaching dreams. I even drew pictures. It was very clear & meaningful to me. I was walking on a very large,green grassy plateau. There was a pretty little girl with me. I was taking care of her for someone. As we walked over a long distance,all alone on this green plain,we saw a small wooden shack sitting alone out there.(It looked like an 'outhouse')..I said to the girl" ,let's see what that is". As we walked up to this shack, we saw a large sign on it that said "TICKETS". There was a man inside. I asked what he was selling. He said '"MOVIE TICKETS".."DO YOU WANT TO BUY TICKETS?" I thought about it & said "NO. I think we'll just go take a look. Where is the movie?" He said,"just over that hill." I took the girl by the hand & we walked on. We came to a very LARGE PIT or deep round hole in the ground. It was surrounded by a small fence on the rim. There was a very large CINEMESCOPE MOVIE SCREEN inside the pit wall. It covered over half of the pit. There was a COLOR movie playing. I said to the girl,"lets sit here on the RIM for awhile & see what is happening." I held her,as our legs dangled over the edge. We looked down to the rocky pit floor. The pit was full of people..men, women & children. They were all facing the screen, intently intrigued by the pictures & story. Many of them were laying on their stomachs to watch. Some of the children were busily playing in the rocks & puddles of water in the bottom. No one looked around or up. I could see all around & down..observing, but not involving in the movie. As i watched, SUDDENLY THE MOVIE SCREEN WENT BLANK (in the middle of the movie). Simultaneously to this event, I saw a HUGE BLACK HOLE OPEN in the side of the pit. A big rush of WATER was beginning to pour into the pit. I was transfixed..as I saw there was NO EXITS in the pit. The people sat up startled when the movie quit. They were mulling around in confusion & running through little streams & puddles on the floor. They tried to gather the children & still NO ONE PAID ATTENTION to the HUGE WATERFALL coming at them, until it was too late. Many drowned in the pit. A FEW good SWIMMERS FLOATED to the TOP RIM ..going WITH THE FLOW.. I took the little girl by the hand and we turned back across the green plateau. The SHOW WAS OVER... I had no strong feelings in this dream. I felt wonderment & puzzlement..Why couldn't they just look around & see the screen, with just a projected picture? All they had to do was 'turn around'. They were too involved to see that the pictures weren't real.. The huge hole & water were. They also got themselves into a 'hole that they couldn't get out of'..by stairsteps, etc. It happened so fast they had nothing to do but 'sink or swim'. The strugglers & stragglers didn't make it in those forms. The 'swimmers' got out fast & easily. They didn't need the steps! From Jan Ingersol Date: 97-11-29 Dream Interpretation by Joe Mason Our reality seems to be portrayed sometimes as being like a stage play or film. One woman was told in a dream, "Yes! The world is like a stage play, but a VERY important one!" It seems to be a very old idea. I read that Plato said something like this - reality is like watching shadows on a curtain. You have to watch very closely to figure out what is going on behind the curtain. It seems similar to the Eastern teaching that we are in the land of Maya, illusion. There are many myths about the underworld, like the Greek Persephone. Another is about the 12th labor of Hurcules, where he had to kill the three-headed dog that guarded the gate of Hades. The dog would let anyone in, but would let no one out. Some myths, like the Babylonian one about Ishtar, have seven steps down to the Underworld. In "Isis Unveiled," vol. 2, by H. P. Blavasky, two ancient depictions are shown that are almost the same. One is from India, and the other is Kabalistic. A triangle is at the top, labeled "AUM" in one depiction. It has a Father Ray and Mother Ray. Below this is a circle with a Star of David type diagram. Below that is a circle, labeled "World of Maya, or illusion" in one depiction, and "Hell, the Objective World called Earth." . Prior to see the diagrams, I had the feeling that underground or "Hell" could be saying something about the earth reality. Your dream is not like Hell, but it has a similarity. In the Hopi creation myth, three chambers are shown underground. The Creator first put insects in a chamber and told them to figure out the meaning of life. They couldn't do it, so Spider Grandmother came and helped them to climb to the second chamber, where they became animals. Same thing, and they went to the third chamber and became humans. Finally, Spider Grandmother came again, this time assisted by birds, and the people reached the surface and sunlight. Then Spider Grandmother taught them how to weave. Buying tickets to the movie is also interesting. About seven years ago there was a dream posted to a network called, "Queen Diana Dream." In the dream she went to a Diana Ross concert. She went back stage and got a ticket or pass from a man at a desk. She went through a door, down a hallway, and into another room. There was a small door in the room. She went through, and was on a slide going down. Lights shined on and through her, examining her. "No shit is allowed down here" she realized. She saw others sliding down on slides. Then, she was in a boat with Queen Diana, surrounded by her loyal subjects. As you can see, there are quite a few similarities to your dream. Even the "shit" (pardon my French!) may compare to the ticket building looking like an outhouse. This is an important type of symbolism to me, which appears often in various forms. I think it can be a play on the "food-for-thought" symbolism. These thoughts/beliefs have been consumed and digested, and all the nutrients removed. It is time to dump them. The meaning of the ticket or pass in the Diana dream seems to be a little different than in you dream. She took the ticket and went underground. You refused the ticket, but watched safely from above. I would think that taking the ticket shows that we choose to come to the land of Maya, and are not forced to do so. In one of my theories about the Bible, this is expressed in Daniel 9:27, where a covenant is made with many for one week, and for half of the week . . . something negative happens. The "covenant" is like a contract or agreement, or like taking a ticket. In the theory, this refers to the seven chakras, and the critical midpoint of 3 and 1/2. It is the point between the lower three chakras and the Heart chakra. I spoke of it in this article: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/7779/11_11.htm Notice too, that the Hopi myth has three chambers underground before the fourth step to the surface. Diana is the Roman Artemis. She is the moon goddess and twin of Apollo. She is associated with a triple goddess symbolism, one of which is Hecate, who is of "Hell." I then remembered that Diana Ross was one of the three singers of "The Supremes." I thought of it again recently when Princess Diana was killed in the underground pass. They say it was once a Pagan place of worship to the goddess Diana. And I loved it when they started calling her "The Queen of Hearts." The water pouring into the pit seems to connect with other dreams, for example, my friend, Jeff, dreamed of riding on a bicycle up a hill outside the water treatment plant where we work. His wife came running with a telephone in her hand, saying he had an important call from the lady engineer. He couldn't hear the lady engineer very well, but knew she was telling him not to open the big valve yet that lets the purified water into the city. I just remembered that the woman who had the Diana dream reported another one about the same time. In that dream, she saw a house in a barren valley. There was a pole next to it that showed high-water markers. She could see that it flooded every once in a while. She said something about it representing her stressful state of mind at the time, and that a flood was coming on. Some dreams, like yours, has more of a Noah/Pisces type of flooding. Others, like Jeff's, has more of an Aquarius-like Water Bearer kind. In any case, my guess is that it is about the change to a new age. I like the part about the people not paying attention to the water coming, and thinking the film was "real." It fits the situation I see today soooo well. So few are paying attention to dreams or much else other than the mundane-life things. So many think that is all there is to life, that there is no spiritual thing going on. This fits with a verse in Revelation, the one about "You have the name of being alive, but you are dead. Awake and save what is on the point of death." It goes on to say that some have not stained their garments, and will walk in white. (Jeff had a dream where his white pants got stained because of a backed-up urnal). Hades is the Land of the Dead in the Greek myths, yet the people are still animated, so they are not "dead" in the extinct sense. Your dream seems to hint that the Great Change will happen very abruptly. I find this often, but I'm not sure if it will really happen "in the blinking of an eye," or "in one night," as Nostradamus said. But, I do have the feeling that it will happen a lot quicker than most people think. The idea of people being caught by surprise and running about chaotically or in panic, has appeared in a lot of dreams. I think it's in the Bible too, about coming like a thief in the night. Drowning, I think, can be like a spiritual baptism. The person is "re-born" afterwards. The few good swimmers seem to be those who are familiar with the spirit/unconscious/dreaming realm. And going with the flow, of course, is pretty obvious. People really do need to "turn around" and see what is really happening. Sometimes I say that everyone has a telephone (dreams) to the other reality, but few pick it up. Passionate journeys, Joe Mason |

| ARE WE TO EXPECT THE NOAH AND THE ARK SCENARIO AGAIN?
NOAH AND THE ARK For one hundred twenty years, Noah and his sons preached righteousness and built an ark. Logs were cut, sawn and placed. Holes were drilled, pegs were driven and pitch was rubbed within and without. Neighbors laughed. Town councils scoffed. Uncles and aunts and cousins of Noah railed against this dreamer's crazy idea of building a big boat to float above the coming tide. "Haaah! Ha! Haah! Hahhh!," they mocked. "Such a rising tide is a big joke, impossible! It will never happen," they jeered. . . until the rains finally came down and the tide turned on the mockers who cried and begged and shrieked and prayed. They and their little ones crowded helplessly and hopelessly on top of every hill, every tower and every mountain top. The waters rose to knee deep, then waist deep and chest deep, up, up, up, and over their noses. They all drowned, every wicked man and every living thing, as the ark floated away in the distance. Only then, when it was too late, did men believe that the God of heaven had spoken. Never even then did the wicked see "him who is invisible." They drowned in their dull, insipid blindness. "By faith Noah. . ." (Heb. 11:7), the Bible says. It was only amid ridicule and rejection and heartache and loneliness and reproach that Noah came to see "him who is invisible" (v. 27).

It never fails that when a series of coincidences start, they don't stop for some time until you get the whole picture that spirit is relating to you. Readers of the Celestine Prophecy will relate to this. For anyone who has not read this book, I highly recommend it to you, plus the other books in the series.

Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at our selves. When we do look at our selves through the mirror of water, the message becomes amazingly, crystal, clear. We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water, both within and all around us. The photographs and information in this article reflect the work of Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher.Mr Emoto has published an important book, "The Message from Water,"from the findings of his worldwide research If you have any doubt that your thoughts affect everything in, and around you, the information and photographs that are presented here, taken from the book of his published results, will change your mind and alter your beliefs, profoundly. |
