    Alternate Dimensions & Universes. Parallel Worlds.



    We’ve all heard of alternate dimensions and universes. Many believe we are just a frequency away from an alternate existence. Still others claim that beings from other dimensions pop in and out of our world at will, somewhat like The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    Now a story comes to us out of Spain about a woman who claims to have woken up one day to find her life and past had changed. Unfortunately, she remembers a different reality than those who know her best.
    Lerina García, a 41 year old, well educated professional opened her eyes one morning to discover she was in what she later assumed to be an alternate universe existence of her own life.
    Garcia’s experience was related in 2008 when she made an effort to search for help on the Internet. Apparently it’s just now making the rounds in America.

    Here’s her fascinating story translated from Spanish:

    For anyone who is reading this blog regular will know that we have already written a few articles about parallel universes. As I write this article on an alleged case of a woman who she says is from another parallel universe. We do not know for sure if it is a Hoax or Bulo, but the story is interesting and that is what any of us could happen when least expected.
    This story is transcribed for a forum where this woman named Gordo Lerina Garcia left a message for someone to help on 16/07/2008 18:38
    Hello, my name is Luz, I have 41 years and I think I jumped into a parallel universe.
    I find it hard to tell because everyone will think I’m a psychotic, and no one will believe me. Please, if anyone has had a similar experience to write me an email.

    This fellow added salts to his mix when making his ionic silver, thus the coloring issue, he was in too much of a hurry to do things properly.
    It isn't simply the consumption of too much for too long, it really depends on how it was made...
    If it was a groundwater contamination then others ought to have also had some reactions as well.

    The Green Man.



    The famous Bamberg Green Man.
    13th Century, in the shape of an Acanthus Leaf, Bamberg Cathedral, Germany.

    Source:- http://www.greenmanenigma.com/what.html
    Link to the full articles.

    WHAT IS THE GREEN MAN?

    A Green Man is any kind of a carving, drawing, painting or representation of any kind which shows a head or face surrounded by, or made from, leaves. The face is almost always male, although a few Green Women do exist (examples can be found at the Minster of Ulm, Germany and at Brioude, France), and Green Beasts (particularly cats and lions) are reasonably commonplace.
    There are three main types of Green Man image:

    A head where the whole face may be composed of a leaf or leaves (sometimes called a “foliate head” or “foliate mask”). A good example is the Green Man of Bamberg in Bamberg Cathedral, Germany (see picture at right). This is perhaps the oldest variant, dating back to the leaf masks of Roman times.
    A face with leaves, vines or branches sprouting from the mouth, nose, ears or even eyes (sometimes called a “disgorging” or “uttering” head). The oldest example dates from 5th Century France, but this became the most popular style in the 12th to 15th Century, especially in Britain. A good example is the Sutton Benger Green Man in Wiltshire, England.

    A head where the hair, eyebrows, moustache and/or beard may be made up of leaves, often bearing flowers or fruit. Good examples can be found in Southwell Minster and on roof bosses in Norwich Cathedral.
    A head surrounded by foliage, but where the leaves are not actually part of the face. At its simplest and most naturalistic, this may be just the image of a man peering out from among dense foliage, similar to the figure of Jack-in-the-Green. There are good examples in York Minster, England and Magdeburg Cathedral, Germany. However, many purists do not consider this to be a genuine type of Green Man.
    But, within that general description, the variations are almost infinite, and there appears to be no standard representation of a Green Man. For example, there are examples of:

    two-headed, and even three-headed, Green Men;
    a whole series of heads linked together by foliate stems;
    foliage issuing from a Green Man forming a Tree of Life image;
    beasts, snakes or horns (rather than vegetation) issuing from a Green Man’s mouth;
    the nose of a face forming the trunk of a tree;
    a whole body sprouting, wearing or being composed of leaves and vegetation; etc, etc.



    Green Man images from the sketchbook (c. 1230) of Villard de Honnecourt.

    Sometimes a foliate head is quite clearly a human head (on a human neck and shoulders) which changes to leaves and vegetation at its edges. Sometimes it may be more of a cluster of leaves (or even a single leaf on a stalk) which exhibits the features and character of a human face. Drawings by the 13th century architect Villard de Honnecourt (see picture at right) clearly demonstrate these different styles (although both types may appear side by side, such as at Chartres).

    Sometimes a Green Man appears with a feminine “consort”, often in the form of a sheela-na-gig (figurative carvings of naked women displaying an exaggerated open vulva, sometimes considered a kind of Green Woman, the female counterpart of the Green Man) or a split-tailed mermaid, although some have argued that the vegetation itself can be identified with the feminine principle of Gaia or Mother Earth, so that the Green Man transcends gender entirely.



    This moon-faced Green Man (restored to its original colouring) is high on a roof boss in All Saints Church, Evesham, Worcestershire, England (photo Rex Harris).

    The faces themselves maybe either naturalistic in appearance, or more stylized, including variants of the “wild man” and “moon face”. Renditions vary from the simplistic and basic carvings of folk art traditions, to sophisticated and expressive sculptures which hold their own among the very best of church ornamentation (some of the later medieval Gothic masters were able to portray specific features, emotions and moods on the faces of Green Men that were beyond the skills of earlier carvers). Some faces have welcoming and reassuring expressions; others appear distinctly ferocious, at times even threatening (a good example being the famously stern foliate head in Bamberg Cathedral, shown at the top of this page). Some appear barely human, having more in common with demons or beasts.
    The types of leaves shown on Green Man images vary, largely dependent on the local flora and symbolism associations, with common choices being fig, vine and acanthus in the south, and oak, beech and hawthorn further north (although one example, again at Chartres Cathedral, specifically shows vine, acanthus and oak leaves all together).



    Most Green Men are found in Christian churches, the vast majority in Britain, France and Germany, mainly dating from the medieval period from the 11th to 16th Century. Sometimes they are apparently hidden away behind rood-screens or choir stalls or high in the ceiling structure, but often they are in plain view (often even in place of honour) on columns or above main doorways. In terms of size, they may range from life-sized to tiny images on roof bosses. They can also be found, although less commonly, on other buildings, both ecclesiastical and secular, and as decorations on tombs and memorial monuments.

    Photographs below. Kariye Cami, Istanbul.

    In the picture, where the Virgin is reversed. There is one Green Man just to the lower left corner of the picture, and then a whole line of them running down the centre.

    The Green Man.

    Source:- Frances.

    Tree worship goes back into the prehistory of many of the cultures that directly influenced the people of Western Europe, not least the Greco-Roman and the Celtic, which is no great surprise when one considers that much of the continent of Europe was covered with vast forests in antiquity. It is perhaps also understandable that there are concentrations of Green Men in the churches of regions where there were large stretches of relict forests in ancient times, such as in Devon and Somerset, Yorkshire and the Midlands in England. The human-like attributes of trees (trunk-body, branches-arms, twigs-fingers, sap-blood), as well as their strength, beauty and longevity, make them an obvious subject for ancient worship. The Green Man can be seen as a continuing symbol of such beliefs, in much the same way as the later May Day pageants of the Early Modern period, many of which were led by the related figure of Jack-in-the-Green.

    I see a remarkable similarity between, The Ancient Green Man and the North American Bigfoot.

    Below are photographs taken by Scott Carpenter. They show the Bigfoot standing and watching in the forest, the face is usually what you see, just like The Green Man.

    since everything is alive and sentient on some level or another it is not surprising, really, when we see the common and mundane take shapes and form into what appears to be faces and bodies which seem to be peering intently back, but most people will need some kind of catalyst to open their mind to this experience....
    some are more naturally attuned to this and will more often have such an experience (without the catalyst being necessary).
    this phenomenon does generate some curious tales and speculations as the rational mind seeks to peg it down and explain it though.

    Rise Of The Archons.



    Source:- http://www.jayweidner.com/Archons.html
    Link to the full article.

    Rise of the Archons.

    An interview with Jay Weidner on Rense Radio.

    Rense: Many people have heard the term “Archon” but would be hard-pressed to define it. What is an Archon?

    Weidner: To begin with, I would draw attention to two articles on your site: The Global Coup d'Etat and the one about ownership of the world. The Queen of England owns one sixth of the non-ocean surface of the world; and keep that in mind as we go into the Archon subject. The Archons were whispered about in texts after the burning of the library at Alexandra with some mention of mysterious beings called Archons. But the powers that be spent 1,300 years cleaning up the records and had written out the Archons from our history. In 1947, texts were found in clay jars in Nag Hammadi in Egypt and, on these texts was a story of what the Nag Hammadi people, 2,000 years ago, thought the world was about.

    The reason the Nag Hammadi texts, which date back 2,100 years (100 BC), are so important is that no-one has been able to put a spin on it [the texts have not been altered, destroyed or omitted as in the Bible], no-one has been able to distort or destroy them which is what they’d really like to do [to keep the information and knowledge from the masses]. Luckily, they survived, were successfully translated and when many people read them, they found a clear and defined discussion of what these Archons are. The texts had been buried in a deep cave in Egypt, in order to protect the most important information that they had.

    Rense: There are 13 codices containing over 50 texts, which is quite a substantial amount of writing.

    Weidner: A highly descriptive document of an entirely different world [from the one we know]. People don’t realise that, 2,000 years ago, there was a religion on this planet called Gnosticism, which was the biggest religion on earth at the time, was vying with Hinduism. You could go take a university course on the history of religions now and wouldn’t even find a mention of Gnosticism.
    The Nag Hammadi texts provide a description for what the Gnostics believed. Gnostic is a Greek word meaning knowledge – gnosis. The Gnostics believe that liberation can only be achieved by knowledge, by the consumption and evaluation of reality through knowledge. The library at Alexandria was run by Gnostics and they were the first people to collect scrolls and books and assemble this information. Their culture spread throughout Europe and the Middle East.
    This was long before the advent of the Western religions outside of Judaism which was mostly concentrated in Israel. Gnostics preached that there was an invasion that occurred about 3,600 BC and, about 1,600 years before the Nag Hammadi texts were buried, they wrote that this invasion was like a virus and, in fact, they were hard pressed to describe it. The beings that were invading were called Archons. These Archons had the ability to duplicate reality, to fool us.
    They were jealous of us because we have an essence of some kind, a soul, that they don’t possess, and the Nag Hammadi texts describe the Archons. One looks like a reptile and the other looks like an unformed baby or a foetus. It is partially living and partially non-living and has grey skin and dark, unmoving eyes. The Archons are duplicating reality so that when we buy into it, when we come to believe that the duplicated, false state reality is the real reality - then they become the victors.

    Rense: How are they duplicating reality? Is it by using consciousness?

    Weidner: Yes, according to the texts, they can get into people and can manipulate people to do things very suddenly that are very odd. But also they are actually responsible for the deterioration of culture, so unlike the culture of the ancient Greeks or Chinese but a cheap façade of a culture. As the Archonic presence has spread across the earth and has escalated in the 20th century, you can see that they are responsible for sprawl and the mass ugliness that is everywhere.

    Television is an example of Archonic imitation.

    The Archons.



    Source:- http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vi..._archons34.htm

    The Archons.
    Interview with Karmapolis & John Lash.

    Recently, our brilliant colleagues, Malou and Gerry Zeitlin of openseti.org, put us in touch with Karmapolis.be, a site that explores anomalies, theories of conspiracy, and beliefs concerning alternative realities.

    Alain Gossens, who operates the site with his partner Bruno Michelet, lives in Brussels, and so we were able to meet and talk about mutual interests.

    The result was a three-part collaboration with articles by Alain on Alien Predation, and by myself, on Gnostic Parallels to Castenada, published simultaneously in English and French.


    Karmapolis: We have been discussing the idea that a parasite exists and rules our mind. How can we demonstrate to our readership that this parasite exists and that the idea of “mental infection” is not delusional?

    JLL: Like an infection, the mental parasite would be detected by its symptoms. Malaria, for instance, produces violent symptoms caused by a foreign entity that invades the body.

    To think clearly about the parasites, we must consider that certain behavior, and certain forms of thinking, in particular religious ideologies, would be symptomatic of an infection or foreign invasion of the human mind.


    Karmapolis: What is the nature and the origin of this parasite? Is it a interdimensional intelligence? Is it possible that it takes an organic form?

    JLL: According to the Gnostics, the parasites or Archons, as they called them, originate with the earliest phase of the formation of the solar system, before the Earth coalesced as a planetary organism. Their habitat is the solar system, exclusive of the Earth, moon and sun. They are inorganic forms with intelligence of an electrical nature - cyborgs, as we would say.


    Karmapolis: The Gnostic Texts (Nag Hammadi Codices, NHC) describe the Eons and the Archons. To explain it simply to our readership, what are the differences between the Eons and the Archons?

    JLL: In Gnostic cosmology, Aeons or Eons are gods, deities, divinities.

    They are not creator-gods or point entities, however. They are rather like massive alive, aware, currents. They are the forces that form the central core of the galaxy we inhabit, the Pleroma.

    Archons are an anomalous species of inorganic beings that arise outside the Pleroma, in the limbs or arms of the galaxy.

    They are called Archons (from Greek archai, “elementary, from the beginning”) because they arise first, before the Earth is formed. Their bodies are formed of elementary matter (quantum fields) in a pre-organic state.

    John Keel. Ahead Of His Time.



    Source:- http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/0...d-of-his-time/
    Link to the full article.

    The Strange Case Of The Pregnant Woman, by Nick Redfern.

    There can be no doubt that John Keel was one of the most important people in the field of Forteana. His work ensures that he still is, even after death. And, no, I’m not just talking about his acclaimed book, The Mothman Prophecies, which is probably what most people associate him with. But, let’s not forget his other fine titles, including Operation Trojan Horse, and Disneyland of the Gods. Plus, Keel was someone who recognized the deep and undeniable cross-overs between – for example – the worlds of Ufology, cryptozoology, and demonology. There’s something else, too: Keel was very much a man ahead of his time. And I’ll explain what I mean by that.

    In today’s world of Ufology it’s not even remotely strange to hear accounts of “hybrid babies,” “hybrid children,” “black-eyed children,” and alleged alien-driven genetic experimentation. While there were several, early accounts that were at the very least suggestive of alien interest in human reproduction – such as the Antonio Villas Boas affair of 1957 and the Betty and Barney Hill case of 1961 – for the most part it wasn’t the 1980s that things really took off big-time.

    The research of the late Budd Hopkins made that very clear. As did – and still does – the work of Dr. David Jacobs, whose book, The Threat, offers a grim and disturbing perspective on what might be afoot in the world of the hybrids. “Sinister” barely begins to describe what Jacobs suspects is going on. But, what a lot of people don’t realize is that John Keel was talking about all this – and much more – way back in the 1960s. Unfortunately, so many are unaware of that fact.
    Let’s take a look at a couple of key examples that demonstrate how Keel really was ahead of his time. As in way ahead.

    Back in 1967 Keel wrote an article titled “The Strange Case of the Pregnant Woman.” It remained unpublished, in original form, for years.
    The story is focused on a woman named Helen who lived on Long Island, New York, and who had a series of bizarre encounters with alleged extraterrestrial entities, and with pale-faced, skinny Men in Black. The story is also focused on the matter of the birth of Helen’s baby, on October 28, 1967. This was no normal pregnancy, however.
    Keel’s article pushes things in a notable and intriguing direction. He learned that Helen’s baby was “dark skinned and had Oriental features.” Keel also noted that three other women gave birth to practically identical babies on the same night. What makes the story even stranger is that Keel learned all four women did not give birth in hospitals but in what Keel called an “isolated house.”

    The births were traumatic in the extreme: two of the babies later died and one of the women suffered from severe hemorrhaging at the time of giving birth. Although the women were allowed to take the babies home, attempts were later made by a sinister group of women to access the homes of the mothers and kidnap their babies – which, as Keel notes, were clearly of a definitive hybrid nature.

    Of course, the skeptic might say that Keel was simply the victim of a bizarre and elaborate hoax. On the other hand, what Keel was talking about was something that, for the most part, would not surface in Ufology until the 1980s, two decades later – when tales of hybrid babies, stolen children, curious miscarriages, and alien/human offspring became practically commonplace.

    The Devils Footprints.



    Source:- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Footprints

    The Devils Footprints.

    The Devil's Footprints is a name given to a phenomenon that occurred in February 1855 around the Exe Estuary in East Devon and South Devon, England. After a heavy snowfall, trails of hoof-like marks appeared overnight in the snow covering a total distance of some 40 to 100 miles. The footprints were so called because some people believed that they were the tracks of Satan, as they were allegedly made by a cloven hoof. Many theories have been put forward to explain the incident, and some aspects of its veracity have also been called into question.

    On the night of 8–9 February 1855 and one or two later nights, after a heavy snowfall, a series of hoof-like marks appeared in the snow. These footprints, most of which measured around four inches long, three inches across, between eight and sixteen inches apart and mostly in a single file, were reported from over thirty locations across Devon and a couple in Dorset. It was estimated that the total distance of the tracks amounted to between 40 and 100 miles. Houses, rivers, haystacks and other obstacles were travelled straight over, and footprints appeared on the tops of snow-covered roofs and high walls which lay in the footprints' path, as well as leading up to and exiting various drain pipes as small as four inches in diameter.

    From a news report:

    "It appears on Thursday night last, there was a very heavy snowfall in the neighbourhood of Exeter and the South of Devon. On the following morning the inhabitants of the above towns were surprised at discovering the footmarks of some strange and mysterious animal endowed with the power of ubiquity, as the footprints were to be seen in all kinds of unaccountable places – on the tops of houses and narrow walls, in gardens and court-yards, enclosed by high walls and pailings, as well in open fields.

    The area in which the prints appeared extended from Exmouth, up to Topsham, and across the Exe Estuary to Dawlish and Teignmouth.
    R.H. Busk, in an article published in Notes and Queries in 1890, stated that footprints also appeared further afield, as far south as Totnes and Torquay, and that there were other reports of the prints as far away as Weymouth (Dorset) and even Lincolnshire.

    There is little first-hand evidence of the phenomenon. The only known documents came to light after the publication in 1950 of an article in the Transactions of the Devonshire Association asking for further information about the event.
    This resulted in the discovery of a collection of papers belonging to Reverend H. T. Ellacombe, the vicar of Clyst St George in the 1850s. These papers included letters addressed to the vicar from his friends, among them the Reverend G. M. Musgrove, the vicar of Withycombe Raleigh; the draft of a letter to The Illustrated London News marked 'not for publication'; and several apparent tracings of the footprints.



    Over many years the noted researcher Mike Dash collated all the available primary and secondary source material into a paper entitled The Devil's Hoofmarks: Source Material on the Great Devon Mystery of 1855 which was published in Fortean Studies in 1994.

    Theories.

    Many explanations have been put forward for the incident. Some investigators are sceptical that the tracks really extended for over a hundred miles, arguing that no-one would have been able to follow their entire course in a single day. Another reason for scepticism, as Joe Nickell points out, is that the eye-witness descriptions of the footprints varied from person to person.

    In his Fortean Studies article, Mike Dash concluded that there was no one source for the "hoofmarks": some of the tracks were probably hoaxes, some were made by "common quadrupeds" such as donkeys and ponies, and some by wood mice (see below). He admitted, though, that these cannot explain all the reported marks and "the mystery remains".

    Reports of similar anomalous, obstacle-unheeded footprints exist from other parts of the world, although none is of such a scale as that of the case of the Devil's Footprints. This example was reported 15 years earlier in The Times:

    Among the high mountains of that elevated district where Glenorchy, Glenlyon and Glenochay are contiguous, there have been met with several times, during this and also the former winter, upon the snow, the tracks of an animal seemingly unknown at present in Scotland. The print of the foot in every respect is an exact resemblance of that of a foal of considerable size, with this small difference perhaps, that the sole seems a little longer or not so round; but, as no one has had the good fortune as yet to have obtained a glimpse of this creature, nothing more can be said of its shape or dimensions; only it has been remarked, from the depth to which the feet sunk in the snow, that it must be a beast of considerable size; it has been observed also, that its walk is not like that of the generality of quadrupeds, but that it is more like the bounding or limping of a hare when not scared or pursued.
    It is not in one locality only that its tracks have been met with, but through a range of at least twelve miles.

    The Times, 14 March 1840, page 1.

    In the Illustrated London News of 17 March 1855, a correspondent from Heidelberg wrote, "upon the authority of a Polish Doctor in Medicine", that on the Piaskowa-góra (Sand Hill), a small elevation on the border of Galicia, but in Congress Poland, such marks are to be seen in the snow every year, and sometimes in the sand of this hill, and "are attributed by the inhabitants to supernatural influences".



    An example of the tracks as shown in The Illustrated London News, 1855.

    On the night of 12 March 2009, marks claimed to be similar to those left in 1855 were found in Devon.
    In 2013 trails were reported in Girvan, Scotland possibly as part of an April Fool's hoax.

    Ha ha, I know Jimmer, it's a different foot print to suit the time period, 1855.
    We have a new Bigfoot footprint to suit the time period over a hundred years later.

    The mystery continues, but the style remains the same.
    One thing I do know, they make sure they get noticed. Those tricksters like to tease.

    What better way to exhibit your art, a nice canvas of new fallen white snow, a nice canvas of smooth sand on river banks.
    Just the place for a line of footprints to be seen. Footprints that just appear and suddenly stop abruptly, as if the thing that made them has vanished into thin air.
    Maybe that thing did vanish into thin air?
