Part 6 (2/2)
”It could be bad, Pooh. Really bad. Tartarus has been neutralized, and some people want the Firestone badly. We barely got away at all.”
”They found you in Australia?”
”Yes. I've called a meeting, one that will bring the original team back together. Fuzzy is the last one. He's on his way from Jamaica.”
”And Wizard?”
”He's out of the picture for the moment, but he's sent me enough information to make a start. With Lily's help, I've managed to decipher a few of his recent discoveries.”
Pooh looked at Lily. ”Is that so? How many are you up to now, young one?”
”Five, plus sign language.”
”Good girl,” he said. ”Never stop learning. Never stop honing your gift.”
Pooh turned back to West, his face serious. ”My father sends a message. At tomorrow's meeting there will be a few other countries represented. Some not from the original seven.
Word has got out, it seems.”
West frowned. This was moving too fast, at a pace beyond his control. It was as if he was still trying to catch up himself.
He pulled out several copies of a fivepage summary he'd found amid Wizard's notes and handed them out to the others.
”This is a summary I'll be giving to everyone at the meeting tomorrow. It's about Wizard's work. Read it beforehand. It'll be less astonis.h.i.+ng that way.”
Then, looking at them all-his old friends, friends who had bonded over the course of a long, hard, and at times seemingly impossible mission-he smiled.
”I'm glad you're all here for this one.”
THE MEETING.
BURJ AL ARAB TOWER.
DECEMBER 4, 2007.
THE NEXT DAY, as each delegation arrived at the Presidential Suite, they were handed the fivepage briefing.
It was a peculiar array of national representatives: Of the original seven nations who had sponsored West's initial quest to locate the Golden Capstone, only four were present now: Australia (West), Ireland (Zoe), the UAE (Pooh Bear), and New Zealand (Sky Monster).
Canada's Wizard was missing in China.
Spain, having lost a man during the first mission, had declined to send a representative to this one. And Jamaica's man, Fuzzy, was still uncharacteristically late.
”We're still waiting for Fuzzy and a few others,” West said. ”So, please, while you wait, acquaint yourself with the briefing material.”
They did so.
The briefing was headed: ”The Six Ramesean Stones and the Pillars of the World.”
THE SIX RAMESEAN STONES AND.
THE PILLARS OF THE WORLD.
by Professor Max T. Epper, Trinity College, University of Dublin THE MYSTERY OF THE CIRCLES.
The end of the world has preoccupied humanity for as long as humanity has existed.
For Hindus, Vishnu will destroy the Earth. Christians fear the Apocalypse prophesied in the final books of the Bible. No less than St. Peter himself famously wrote, ”The end of all things is near.”
I fear it may be nearer than we think.
THE MARRIAGE OF LIGHT AND DARK.
Our small planet does not exist in a void.
It exists in concert with our Sun and the other planets of our solar system.
Certain ancient civilizations knew about these relations.h.i.+ps: the Maya, the Aztecs, the Egyptians, even the Neolithic peoples of Britain all of them saw patterns in the night sky.
And as I myself discovered during the Tartarus Event of 2006, our Earth is directly linked to our Sun.
Our Sun begets life. It provides the light that sparks photosynthesis and the temperate warmth that allows our fragile human bodies to exist without the blood in our veins freezing or boiling.
This, however, is a more delicate situation than many realize.
To paraphrase the Chinese philosopher, Laozi, nothing exists in isolation. For life to exist, there must be balance. Balance implies the harmonic existence of twothings, what philosophers call ”Duality.”
But not only must there be two of everything-man, woman heat, cold light, darkness good, bad-but inside the good there must be some bad, just as inside the bad, there must be some good. This has never been better displayed than in the famous Taijitu, the Yin Yang.
So what does this concept of duality mean in the context of our solar system? It means this: Our Sun does not exist alone.
It has a twin, an opposite, an invisible body of dark matter known as a ”zeropoint field.”
This spherical field roams through the outer regions of our solar system like a moving black hole, not so much possessed of negative energy as no energy at all. It absorbs light.
It is indescribably cold. It breaks down oxygen at the molecular level. It is, in short, a variety of energy that is anathema to life as we know it.
And if this zeropoint field-this Dark Sun, if you will-ever sweeps into our solar system, it will destroy all life on Earth.
Observe the image at the beginning of this article. It is a carving found all over the world from Abu Simbel in Egypt to Newgrange in Ireland to Peru in South America.
It is called ”the Mystery of the Circles.”
A quick glance at it leads the observer to conclude that it depicts our solar system, with the Sun at the center, orbited by nine planets.
Not so.
