Abundant Life Seed Foundation

Rare old varieties of plants, from before agribusiness genetically mangled them. Aldo Leopold said that to revive the Earth's natural splendor "first you must save the pieces" Abundant Life is doing that.

Abundant Life promotes genetic diversity by providing varieties of open-pollinated seed, with emphasis on varieties favored by home gardeners and small organic farmers. Live plants, worms and beneficial insects are also available.

Abundant Life started as a heirloom seed bank in NW Washington State, now is based in Oregon.

Alchemy

There are three ancient sciences of which we are aware: Astrology, Healing, and Alchemy. The division is modern, the principles are the same for each. Khmet is the ancient name for Egypt and this study may have been found in the mystery schools there, and in unknown civilizations before that.

Little is publicly known of true alchemy, in which the human spirit is transmuted to the "gold" of its' full potential. There are practicioners of the art today, no doubt, but they say little. Many of those in the past who we consider the greats of Science, were in truth Alchemists.

Alien Abduction

There is a story, true or not, that President Eisenhower signed a treaty with an Alien race, exchanging permission to kidnap Americans for Alien Technology. The story continues that the Aliens are using abductees to create Human / Alien hybrids to reinforce their genetic base which has grown weak.

Since there is a large Trickster element in many abduction encounters this may be a cover story, but for what?

The fact remains that hundreds of thousands of Americans (and other countries also) are having these experiences, often connected with such extreme psychological shock as to make it certain that SOMETHING is happening to them.

Prof. John Mack M.D. Founder of PEER, an important investigator of the "alien abduction" phenomenon and other extraordinary experiences. A Harvard professor, he almost lost his job due to the subject of his research (à la Tim Leary).

"What if we were to acknowledge that the (UFO) phenomenon is beyond our present framework of knowledge? Might not such an attitude of humility become, paradoxically, a way to enlarge upon what could then be learned? Is it possible that adopting an open attitude toward the testimony of witnesses could enable us to learn of unseen realities now obscured by our too limited epistemology, allowing us to rediscover the sacred and the divinity in nature and in ourselves?" John Mack

David M. Jacobs, Ph.D. (Temple University).

Dr Jacobs has investigated the Alien Abduction Phenomenon with hypnotic regression for twelve years. He concludes that technologically advanced Alien beings are routinely kidnapping tens of thousands (minimum) of people worldwide, subjecting them to various procedures that are very similar between witnesses, and harvesting Human genetic material to create a race of Human / Alien hybrids. Dr. Jacobs is a serious scientist confronting high strangeness in a calm, methodical way.

Alien Abduction

A great balance to the over-the-top theories of some abduction investigators is this interview with one of the first modern abductees Betty Hill. Betty is highly intelligent and thinks there is a lot of nonsense in the abduction field.

The Alien Autopsy

A group of films supposed to show the dissection of an Alien killed in the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash, was shown with much publicity on Fox TV. It then faded away.

Unreported by Fox, there were in fact film segments from at least four instances: two different autopsies, a dim scene of a third Alien being tended to by medics, and a scene of strange objects being displayed by a soldier. Quite a bit of material for a hoax.

The story was that the military cameraman who filmed the episodes stole the (worst) reels and sold them, near the end of his life, to Ray Santilli, a promoter of old Elvis Presley concert films. The segments do look like outtakes, often dark and blurred. The unbroadcast autopsy has an internal genital examination, clearly not intended for prime time.

There was quite a stir for a little while and a number of experts were examining the films or tapes of them. The preliminary tests were passed: the film was correct for the date, the camera work was appropriate for the type of camera used, and the objects in the scenes were correct (with some disagreement about curly telephone cords). The cameraman gave the location of the crash, a disturbed spot was found there, and the site was about to be searched for evidence.

Then it all just went away, the original film disappeared and all most everyone decided to drop the issue. There are determined believers on both sides, but the fact remains that no hard proof has been found that the films are anything other than what they are claimed to be.

With the people who control the originals primarily, if not solely, interested in money, a large sum from "them" (those hidden forces who do all the bad stuff) could have caused the withdrawal of the film and quieted the experts. Or as Ray Santilli claims, the firestorm of insults to the promoters caused the film to be put away in a vault for the moment.

The jury is still out on this, stay tuned.

Alexandria, Egypt The Destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria.

Periodically Mankind destroys his heritage. This seemingly foolish behavior is justified for various reasons, usually politics or religion. Such convulsions occur regularly, mimicking the natural extinctions of species that sweep the earth, allowing space for the new while obstructing the vision of those who would know humanities' past. For many centuries the library at Alexandria, Egypt was the center of learning for the Mediterranean world. There were several destructions of the library, each likely removing from our view significant parts of the past.

The number of important manuscripts referenced in the ancient books we now have is far larger than the number of such books that we do have. Historians are attempting to recover these lost books in many ways and each year additional titles are added. There is a long way to go.

A related topic: Ancient Manuscripts from the Desert Libraries of Timbuktu, Mali, Africa.

Many families of this region have private libraries containing vast chunks of the unknown history of Africa. Native people's history is often not shared with anthropologists and other outsiders, and so those who seek the truth of the greater, more ancient, history of the human race have only fragments of the story, and all most nothing from Africa.

The Aquatic Ape Theory

Of all the monkeys only the human is not covered with hair (most of us, anyway). This, a gap in the fossil record, and other factors - such as our supposed intelligence, have led a few researchers to suspect that our ancestors 5 or 10 million years ago lived most of their lives in the water. A lot can be drawn from this idea, including a good chunk of human psychology.

Short introduction with references.

Area 51

Air Force Area 51, nicknamed "Dreamland", is located at Groom Lake in the Las Vegas, Nevada region. It is reputed to be a center of super secret "black" projects and UFO back - engineering. It is doubtful, though, that the really super - secret research would be in such a well known place. Art Bell lives nearby and named his "Dreamland" radio show covering paranormal phenomena after it.

A guy named Glenn Campbell (not the singer, but watch out for his jokes) was one of the first to draw attention to Area 51. His Website: www.aliensonearth.com/

Astrology

Astrology was once a Sacred Science, along with Alchemy and Healing. The three were considered parts of the same subject, the same laws applied to each. The study of the stars was very important to ancient cultures all over the world. That alone should give pause, for our ancestors were as smart as we are, and knew a lot that we don't.

Astrologers study the pattern of waves from different objects in Space supporting and interfering with each other. (most do not see it in those terms, though)
