Introduction

When considering the content of this newsletter, it would be helpful to keep in mind the
greater context of the events which are prophesied to come. From this perspective, I am
talking about the end of a World Age. This is something that has happened before and has
been recorded as such by our ancestors. It has always been known as being a repetitive
event at least until 'modern' man determined from the Bible that the Earth was created in
2500BC.

As it was recorded, every age involves a universal destruction as well as great religious
significance. Unfortunately today most seem to perceive that what is to come is something
unique fostered by our current indiscretions. The greatest indiscretion may be that we do not
heed the warnings either from our ancestors or the prophets for what we need to prepare
for.

Past Ages

It has recently occurred to me that most of you who have read what is posted on the Solomon
site are not familiar with what is in the first few chapters of the book because they were
not posted. In that portion I discuss the ending of previous World Ages as they have been
recorded by our ancestors. I believe it is important to be aware of the similarities between
these previous events and what is predicted to come. Thus, in future additions of this
newsletter I will be designating a section to the discussion of this topic.

As an overview, what occurs at the end of each age as described in the ancient texts are
similar for all age ending events. In other words, every culture around the world has denoted
these occurrences, and in each case the nature of the destruction was the same. The only
substantial differences can be attributed to the proximity of the culture to the source of the
event.

The most critical thing which is evident in these texts is that in all cases, there is a universal
criteria for the determination of the end of an age. After a great destruction there is a
reorientation of the Earth to the heavens. The stars are not in the same place. The sun
and the moon follow a different path through the heavens. This can only mean that the Earth
must be shifted on it's axis during one of these events.

Confusion Reigns

One of the major problems with establishing the validity of the stories about previous ages is
the jumbled dating for the antiquity of ancient cultures. It should not take a brain surgeon
to realize that the extent of the destruction, and certainly a reorientation of the Earth must
have been a universal observation, that would have been witnessed simultaneously throughout
the world, by all peoples, all at the same time. Unfortunately, the dating of the stories and
the age of the cultures from which they came, are currently given as existing at a variety of
times over the coarse of history. No one has taken the time to compare them to each other,
or to the geological evidence that would support when they actually could have happened.

Of coarse when this is done the results fly in the face of the currently accepted antiquity of
the source of the writings, as well as currently accepted scientific dating for the frequency
of these events. Although some cultures such as the Chinese include records of up to 10
previous ages, the most widely known are the Egyptian and the Mayan texts which include the
record of the last 4 ages. (Thus we not only have the coincidence of pyramid building by both
of these societies but a common historic threat as well).

From the Egyptian records it can be derived that the first of these 4 ages must have
occurred from 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. This would comply with Cayce's dating for the
return to the land of Egypt, and establishment of a new culture during this time frame. It
also corresponds to an overhelming amount of scientific evidence for a major shift of the
Earth's poles at this time.

What is just as interesting is that if this dating for the first of the four ages is correct, it
means that the end of a World Age must occur every 3,000 to 5,000 years. As the most
logical source for the end of an age would be the impact of a comet with the Earth, this
would contradict current views on the actual frequency of these events by thousands of years.

The End Of The Last Age

In general, there is an archeological barrier which until recently has constituted the oldest
evidence for larger social orders on this planet. This barrier occurs at around 3,000 BC. I
believe it is not just coincidence that the beginning of several calendar systems including the
Hebrew and the Mayan calendars starts in the 3,000 BC era as well. It is my conclusion that
this was indeed the time when the last (4th) age ended.

An example of the confusion with regards to ascribing the proper dating to ancient records
that would have denoted this event, would be the story of Moses. Although lately some have
pointed to the eruption of Thera as the source of some of the phenomena associated with The
Exodus I believe it is more likely that what was described in this story could best be
attributed to an age ending impact.

A pillar of fire in the sky that reaches to heaven. The displacement of the Red Sea. The
lifting up and shaking of Mt. Sinai, are all much too extreme to be explained away by any
type of normal single volcanic eruption. However, they can certainly be explainable by what
will happen in a large ocean impact which will also cause major eruptions of virtually every
volcano around the world. The 10 plagues of Egypt can also be related to what is prophesied
to come before the end of this age, and are found to be a common denominator in other texts
concerning what occurs near the end of an age. These 'trials' are a universal result of Earth
changes and biological phenomena which are promoted by the extreme stress the Earth will
experience in anticipation of the coming event.

Currently it is believed that Moses lived sometime around 1500BC. I am certain this date
should be moved back to 3500BC or so. It would then align with other stories, the calendar
origins, as well as evidence for geological disturbances around this time. By assembling the
scientific evidence with the descriptions in the ancient texts, I have also discerned the most
probable impact sites for the last four ages. One off of the coast of South America.
Another off of the coast of Japan. Another in the Indian Ocean, and one off of the coast of
Spain. What is still a puzzle however is the order of the impacts in relation to the ages.
Unfortunately, little research has been done on what the actual residual effects of a comet
impact would be on the earth, especially in the oceans. This has made it difficult to confirm
the actual location of the impact sites.

In future newsletters I will be exploring the evidence for these occurrences and the resultant
effects in various parts of the world.

Prophecy Review

From Sicily Comes The Motion

The following quatrain I believe to be Nostradamus's take on predictions which were also made
by Edgar Cayce about vertical land shifts in Sicily preceding an eruption of the Phelagaen
Fields near Vasuvius. In past newsletters I relayed scientific evidence for the increasing
probably of these two events. A portion of the plates off of the North Coast of Sicily are
being forced down into the lower mantel. It is believed that this process is responsible for
the increasing activity of Mt. Etna. Sicily is also at the end of the fault line that extends
through Greece, Turkey and Iran where we have seen recent large earthquakes. These
earthquakes have made a progression through Iran westward and will no doubt culminate in the
area of Sicily in the next few years. Italian geophysicists are watching the Phalegrean Fields
very closely as they are giving all the signs of an imminent eruption.

From now on I will forgo the French and give you just the English version of the Nostradamus
quatrains.

VIII-81
The new empire in desolation
It will be exchanged for the pole of the north wind
From the Sicilian this motion comes alive
Thick is the imprisonment to the Philip tributary

It is unfortunate that most of the interpretations of Nostradamus have been by people who I
am sure have never had such visions of the future themselves. Or, if they have they had no
idea what it was. One must also seek to attune themselves with what Nostradamus is trying
to say. As I have said many times in my book, in these visions the notion of time does not
exist in the same way as we are used to it on this plane. Expressing this in words is virtually
impossible. In addition, there is the notion of the higher view of cause and effect, which is
also difficult to express. However, if you have the honor of such an experience one of these
visions this interaction makes total sense.

In other quatrains Nostradamus uses the term 'new' to describe places or cities that he does
not recognize but by their appearance are obviously 'modern' in their design. As the term
modern probably did not exist in his time 'new' was his word for expressing this concept.
Therefore the 'new empire' would be one which would be that of the modern world which would
follow the previous empire - that of the Romans. I would take this 'empire' to mean the
total area of Europe which the Romans also occupied a majority of.

There are numerous other prophecies, including those of Cayce, that say Europe will be
covered with ice after the end of this age. Nostradamus explains this situation here by
saying that this area will be exchanged (moved to) for the pole of the north wind. In other
words when the Earth flips over the land we call Europe will be located near or at the axis of
what we now call the North Pole. Obviously if this happened it will be covered 'thick' with ice
(will be 'in desolation') which he says will extend down to the Philip tributary. I have not
researched as yet exactly where this river might be located, but I would assume it would be
located in the Southern regions of Europe, perhaps in Spain or Italy.

"From Sicily will come alive this motion". I interpret this to mean that this is where a shifting
of the Earth will begin. This does not mean that somehow a force under Sicily will move the
Earth, but that there will be a movment of the land around Sicily which will begin a chain of
the upheavals around the world. These will precede the final shifting of the planet. All of
these smaller 'shiftings' of the land are seen by Nostradamus as related to the final great
movement of the Earth on it's axis. From a higher perspective this is how the initial Earth
Changes are related to the final cataclysm.

Please realize that in this newsletter I am trying to give you only the essence of my
interpretation of the Nostradamus quatrains. In my book I go into much more detail as to
how I reached these conclusions. This has to do with the way Nostradamus structures these
verses and the various connotations of the words he uses as well. Inferences and imagery are
a part of any poetic format and this is the venue Nostradamus has chosen to use to express
his visions. As such the words are not in a normal grammatical order and many times he will
create words that do not exist in any French dictionary. This coupled with the mystical
implications of numbers, names and locations are all a part of the occult format that he was
using. One can only make sense of this if you are familiar with his spiritual background, i.e.
the source of his knowledge of the occult as it relates to what he is trying to express.

Without this knowledge, and I don't mean just what is in the books, it would be impossible for
anyone to understand these writings. And certainly none of this information is available in
any modern, or even new age religious teachings that I am familiar with. In my own quest I
have intentionally sought out the most ancient, or what I call the 'original teachings'. These
are not found in books. They are handed down from one teacher to the next. They are
indeed 'occult' (which literally means 'unknown') teachings. That is, they are not meant for
the general public. I will say however, that they are universal, that is, they have been
handed down in tact from one generation to the next as they were ordained in the beginning.
Just as E=MC2 is the specific scientific formula for the description of the physical
relationships in the universe so too the wisdom of the higher realms upon which it is built must
also be specific. It can be no other way or the universe as we perceive it would collapse.


In The News

Arctic Ice

Scientists now estimate that more than 50 billion tons of water a year has been flowing into
the oceans from the Greenland ice sheets. This has served to raise ocean levels by 9 inches
during the last century. Most of this melting is occurring in the coastal regions of
Greenland. New methods of altitude measurement based on satellite photography are credited
with determining the degradation of the ice in this area. (Another confirmation of Cayce's
predictions about continued melting of the Northern ice cap).

In the mean time scientists are scrambling to explain this phenomena. One of the latest
theories holds that this is simply a normal cycle of melting which occurs over the centuries
with the ebb and flow of mini ice ages. A second theory holds that due to hot dry
temperatures in the Arctic circle region, the tundra vegetation is ejecting an abnormal amount
of CO2 in the atmosphere which is contributing to the warming effect.

Oddly enough average temperatures in the region have stayed relatively constant. Therefore
the CO2 effect would seem to be negated. The idea that the melting has been constant but
there has been no snow to replace it could also be in question. This does not address a rise in
ocean levels unless there is less evaporation to go with it. This is inconsistent because
temperatures in the lower latitudes have risen which would necessitate a greater evaporation
rate. Still the consensus at this point seems to be that there is nothing out of the ordinary
about this process.

Curiously enough if the melting has been going on over the last century this would correlate
well with the increasing sun spot activity and/or the increased levels of solar emissions in
general. No news as yet on any investigations with regards to the effect of the increase in
the concentration of solar radiation over the north polar regions because of solar changes, and
the melting of the ice.

Comet Detection

It was released by NASA last week that one of their satellite solar observatories has picked
up some unexpected information. In the last five years of it's operation it has discovered no
less than 200 previously unknown comets approaching the sun. This might lead one to wonder
how many others are out there that are undetected. It might also be an indication of the
fact that the one headed our way will probably be undiscovered till it is too close to do
anything about. It is unclear in the prophecies whether we will see it ahead of time or not.

Most of the comets that were observed by this satellite were relatively small measuring 10 to
20 meters across. This however is probably the size of object that exploded over Tanguska
and will be the size of the object that is to be the Last Warning off of the East Coast of
the US.

Topic: Visions in Europe

I have recently arrived back in the states after a very enlightening trip to Medjugorje, Fatima, and Garabandal. Although some of the things I saw there are of a personal nature, I think some of it can be discussed. If anyone should become inspired to make such a pilgrimage, I would strongly encourage it. Just be sure to stay in each place long enough to gain a true appreciation of what is going on there. Before going into what happened at each of these sites, I was taken by a couple of general points about Mary's messages I wish to address first.

Why The Sun??

Visions of the dancing sun have been seen at all the major sites were Mary has appeared. As I have indicated several times, God does not make great displays of power for the sole purpose of demonstrating the power itself. There are usually symbolic messages included. The message is oft times much more important than the magnitude of the demonstration. In what is posted on Daniel's site, I talk about the fact that at one time, the sun was directly associated with the Christ. The church honored a version of the present day western astrological symbolism. Jesus was at the center in front of the sun, surrounded by 12 houses represented by constellations, and associated with each of the 12 Apostles. Frescos of this design can be found in several early churches built in Italy.

Over time, both the Bible itself, and certain church doctrines have been changed or discarded. When it was proven scientifically, that the earth rotated around the sun, the astrological references and doctrines were dropped and even condemned by the Catholic Church. The sun as a reflection of the power of God was replaced with an image of an ancient bearded man on a throne in the sky.

I hope at least a few people are prompted to wonder why Mary has chosen to use the sun as symbolic of the power of God and not an image of something else.

As contrary as this may be to anyone following the current orthodox Christian beliefs, only the Hindu traditions seem to have maintained the significance of the sun and the moon relative to spiritual ascension. Under this tradition there are two paths the soul can take. The path of the sun will bring you to God, and the path of the moon will bring you back to the earth. Those who are young souls, or who do not know any better, will automatically follow the path of the moon. Only after you have obtained the ability to acknowledge God within the power of the sun, you will be able to escape this cycle. At that time, you will have the choice of whether to return to this life or not. Those who leave the body between the spring equinox and the winter equinox will follow the sun. Those who leave between the winter equinox and the summer equinox will go to the moon. As you may have, noticed most of the major events associated with Mary's prophecies are to occur between the spring equinox and the summer solstice (from March to June). Even though She has appeared at various times throughout the year, I would suggest that the messages probably differ based on the timing of these appearances relative to phases of the sun and the moon.

The Messages

Most people who are following Her messages have categorized them into three parts. The general messages. These are general instructions to the populous. They are mostly about doing practices that are applicable to everyone who is seeking to find the divine. They involve using the rosary, going to mass, praying, and so forth. The apocalyptic messages. These are the messages about the physical and miraculous events that are to precede the coming of Jesus The individual messages. Each person may be given information about their personal relation to God or some guidance as to what they are to do in the coming times. All of the visionaries have been given all three kinds of messages.

As I have also mentioned in my general writings, there seems to be a great amount of confusion as to which messages are to be made public, and which are not, which are authorized by the church, and which are not, which are really personal and which are not, etc., etc.. etc.. At the core of all of this is a message that seems apparent to me, but doesn't seem to be getting understood. It has to do with the fact that the all of the major appearances of Mary are coming to people who are not priests, and who are mostly children. It is only when the organized religions get involved in sanctioning what is accepted and what is not, that everything begins to get distorted. It should be apparent that Mary cares for each one of us as individuals. It is the individual who is the real church. All of the messages are interrelated, and should not really be separated or segregated based on who they come through, or what they contain. In the bigger picture, they are about a preparation for the coming of God to earth. This is an individual preparation as well as a global one. We are being told that certain physical and miraculous events are going to happen. We are also being told how to prepare for them. They are all a part of the greater plan.

Medjugorje

First some general things about what is happening in Medjugorje. Mary is definitely still there, and apparently She may continue to appear there up to the end. This is unless something changes in the nature of what is going on in Medjugorje, or the visionaries are unable to sustain themselves there. All the visionaries in Medjugorje will eventually receive 10 secrets, which is more than any other place I am aware of. At the least, one must conclude that there will be 10 major events to come. It is certain that 4 of the secrets pertain to when the Final Warning, the Miracle, the sign of God on the mountain at Medjugorje, and the Final Chastisement will occur. The other 6 secrets may have to do with the prophecies revealed by Cayce, Solomon, Nostradamus, and a few other visionaries but they could also be about things not revealed by anyone as of yet. One of them I picked up on had to do with a time when Mary would be visible to everyone in the physical form.

The General Messages

While I have found few who seem to be aware of it, there are distinct differences in the nature of the general messages at each apparition site. In Medjugorje they are more related to the practices required to attain union with God. Although She gave similar messages in other places, it is the final messages at each location which relayed what the people in each area were going to end up with.

The practice of the rosary and fasting are two important tools for spiritual awakening. What is not emphasized enough is what words to use when doing a rosary, and why the need to fast. Whether you are using a rosary, a mala, or drums, songs and chants, whatever words you are using, or whatever is on your mind at the time you are doing this kind of practice, is the kind of energy you are going to attract. If you are using prayers affiliated with people in purgatory, then you are going to attract purgatory. If you use words that apply to a particular aspect of Mary, then you will attract that aspect. Whether it is Jesus, God, or Satan, this applies in each case. The question is, what do you want to attract to yourself, what do you need, and where do you want to go? In the use of this tool it is best to be direct with it, and to decide what it is you want to achieve before you begin.

Mary has generally suggested that fasting should be done periodically, but in Medjugorje She has specified the days of Wednesday and Friday for the eating of bread and water only. This is a fairly gentle fast. A very good way to begin to prepare yourself for something of longer duration, which will be needed in the future. I would strongly recommend that everyone begin this practice.

The Apocalyptic Messages

The warning, the miracle, and the coming of Jesus with the Final Chastisement are generally acknowledged to be part of the secrets at Medjugorje. There will also be a sign placed on Apparition Mountain in a similar manner as it was described by the girls in Garabandal. In addition, there is to come a time when Mary will be seen by the masses as a physical being. This will come after Her apparitions end everywhere else in the world. Medjugorje is to be the last place where She will appear as an apparition. (that would be 5 of the secrets). The visionaries in Medjugorje are to reveal the dates of these events 2 or 3 days in advance.

Individual Messages

As this would imply, we each will receive our own guidance. Although it may not be necessary to travel to Medjugoje to receive this information, it would not be a bad idea if you are inclined to do so. In places where the spiritual energy has been raised to the degree it is there, the messages can be heard more clearly.

Personal Messages.

On my final day in Medjugorje, I did see the Virgin Mary. I also saw the sun do something very unusual. On that day I believe I was given a view of what Mary was doing in general, as well as some input on what is to come. But the messages really began on the second day of my stay. Starting from the beginning, I saw a young man with glasses three times. The first time he was tending Mary's garden, then pounding on the earth behind my window. He was breaking up rocks and taking them away. The second time I saw another young man with glasses climbing Apparition Mountain. He did this barefoot. As he passed by me I was inclined to tell him that Mary wanted him to open his heart, not slice open his feet. The third time another young man with glasses was at the apparition site, barefoot again. He took a stone from behind the cross there, and then when back down the mountain. When I got back to the states I recognized the essence of the being behind each of the men I saw as Yosef Isbran, one of the two boys who was stabbed and beaten to death in Israel. At that point I realized that Yosef was the first true martyr, of many martyrs to come. He symbolized the epitome of Jewish traditions as they stand now as well as many of those followed by orthodox Christian religions. The death of the American boy with him, signified how America is going to be drawn into the martyrdom of Israel and the church as the tribulation continues.

When I saw the picture of Yosef I was deeply saddened. I am sure this was the way Mary felt about the children who will be lost in these times, and this was Her motivation for returning. When considering the magnitude of the implications of what I was shown, it is almost unbelievable as to how many soles will be martyred in the times to come. One the one hand it seems tragic, but on the other, there may be no other way for things to play out. It is with this knowledge that one is touched by what may even be a willing sacrifice in this regards. At the same time it seems to be that it is this mentality that will foster the need for the Chastisement in the first place. In other words, as these people believe that they need to be Chastised to be with God, so it shall be. I believe the three men symbolized three key figures to come who will essentially propagate Armageddon. I think this is also the number of key figures mentioned by Solomon, who will begin to emerge after the warning. At that time people will begin to be polarized and/or attracted to the form they will associate with as the end-times develop. Those to be martyred will be attracted to these three figures. Daniel's assessment of May 5 is probably very correct. There was a prophecy about this day in one of the messages at Medjugorje as well.

Although I logically assumed that this could have been the day for the Final Warning, even though there was no great physical event, there was great significance to this day. Essentially it could be said that this was the beginning day of the seven years of tribulations. At Medjugorje, on that day, there was a special communion being conducted for children. From what I could tell it symbolized the entry of a new generation of souls into this world. The beginning if you will of the new church. On my way up to the apparition site on my last day in Bosnia, the people on the trail had all stopped, and were looking at the sun. It began to grow bigger and bigger until I couldn't look at it at all. Eventually the whole sky seemed to be filled with the white light of the sun. The picture I took of it came out this way. To the right of the sun there was a rainbow. This rainbow did not arch, but went straight up into the sky. It was my impression that this was the sign that would appear in Medjugorje at the apparition sight. It may or may not appear as a rainbow, but it will somehow be manifested by the sun (God). It will probably not come up out of the ground but will be seen over the mountain in some way.

At the apparition site I found a place to sit near the center cross. Mary came down the mountain in a physical form. At least that is how I perceived Her, but I was made very aware that what I was seeing was most definitely supernatural. She was dressed in a sky blue gown with a pure white shawl and head cover. This was the form of Mary I wanted in my life, and the one I shall retain. Why She has appeared in gray to most of the visionaries I am not sure. I can only surmise that it had something to do with the nature of how She is perceived by the Church. I would suggest that in Her highest form, gray would definitely not be Her color. In the occult traditions gray would be associated with one of the lowest forms of the divine. She stopped a short distance behind the cross, and Her first gestures were to acknowledge that She was behind all of the images I was seeing. Lucia in Fatima was Her first messenger and would remain here until sometime after the Miracle. I saw her kneeling in front of the cross as I arrived at the site. Unfortunately she would sink more deeply into the mentality of the Church. Of all the other visionaries, only two girls would remain until the Final Chastisement. They would announce it and also survive it. There will be a man who is either Italian or Jewish (this is a guess) who will be a conveyor of the true message of Jesus. I do not know who he is yet, but He will become known after the miracle. He was already there when I arrived. The martyrs I described earlier came before Mary appears in the physical body. She will appear in this form off and on until sometime after the Miracle, but She will not be seen when at all in the few years just before the Final Chastisement. After that time Jesus will be here and She will be subservient to Him. There will be a new church after His return. The foundations have been laid, the structure of it has been formed, but as now, very few if any people are there. The church I saw had no crosses, only a picture of Him at the entrance. It was the only place I lit a candle and placed it in front of Him.

Fatima

During my whole time in Spain and Portugal, it was gray cold and rainy. I only spent one day in Fatima. While sitting in the open chapel at the apparition site there, I asked Mary why it was so gray and depressing. I was directed to look up at one of the monuments towering over the large paved area in front of the cathedral. It was an image of Her carved in gray granite. In fact everything, all of the buildings and the statues (except one of Jesus in gold) were gray in appearance. The words came to me, "they have turned me into stone". That pretty well summed it up for me.

I went to the information office and asked if there was a book store. I was told where it was, and told to buy the book "Fatima, in Lucia's own words". Get the latest addition. It is the only one which contains the third secret Lucia was given. As this person empathized that I look at the third secret, and they were dressed in red, and that secret is an obvious description of the final hours of the church, I was much taken aback. By the way, if you should have the chance to read the third secret, I hope it will cause you to at least wonder about the Catholic Church's official interpretation of it.

Garabandal

Before I left the states I somehow felt that Garabandal was going to be the highlight of my trip. It certainly proved to be an interesting experience, but not at all in the way I expected it to be. Once again, Garabandal, like Fatima was dreary, gray and cold the whole time I was there (unlike Medjugorje which was very comfortable climate wise). Upon asking Mary why this was so, I was told that someone needed to be spanked there. As trite as this wording may sound, I have found that my interactions with Mary at Medjugoje, and everywhere else, have been firm but gentle, and almost child like. At the same time, there should be no mistake about the tremendous amount of power at Her command.

I made my request after climbing to a cross that was placed high on the hill behind the apparition site at Garabandal. After the answer came, just as in Medjugorje, I was guided to a trail rarely used by anyone, that led straight down to the apparition glen in this case, versus the new church at Medjugorje. At the glen I was told that if I stayed there, I would be crucified. In other words the mentality of the people who crucified Jesus 2000 years ago still existed in Spain, and to only a slightly lesser degree in Portugal. And this was the great tragedy. After 2000 years, the focus of these people was still on the crucifixion and not on the resurrected Christ. And just as I mentioned about the practice of the rosary, what ever you are focused on, will come to you. Make no mistake, Jesus is not going to return on the cross. There will be no more crucifixions. If you want to be martyred you are going to be martyred to your glory. How the priests can talk about the fact that Jesus took these things so we wouldn't have to, then continue to focus on the pain instead of the greater glory is beyond me.

Some of Mary's strongest messages have been put in the form of "the cup is filling up and there is no more hope", and lately, "the cup is overflowing". From my perspective the cup is the nature of the earth mothers ability to absorb the pain and afflictions that continue to meanest themselves in the world. Jesus on the cross was not necessarily about His ability to take at least some of these things away, but also exemplified what man is doing to each other and thus to God. The unfortunate part is that the majority of people have blinded themselves to what they are really doing in this regards. Whether you are punishing yourself, or others around you by pounding on them out of anger or reprisal, or even self defense, all of these things are like pounding on the mother earth with a slug hammer. As the population grows, more and more of this energy is being manifested. Under Karmic law it has to be balanced in one way or another.

On my last night in Garabandal I was awakened by the Moon shining in my window. It was extremely bright. It was as if I was being given the example of the nature of the moon in spirituality, as it applied to what was happening in Spain and Portugal, verses the spirituality of the sun in Medjugorje. As a further demonstration of this, in lieu of the rainbow to be given as a sign in Medjugorje, a sign has already been left in Garabandal. Two of the nine trees in the apparition glen have been destroyed by lightening. They were to the right of the final sign of the cross, the resurrected Jesus. It is remarkable in a way, that nine trees were planted there in the first place, as nine would certainly be the number representing the crucifixion. Seven is most definitely the number of the resurrected Jesus. Although the people there are still convinced there are going to be more signs and miracles in Garabandal, I did not get that feeling at all. For me the message was that their affiliation with the nine mentality was going to be ended one way or another. If it has to be by lightening (destruction) so it will be.

It was my impression that the people who remained in this area were going to me martyred just as virtually all of the Catholic Church, Israel, and many other places around the world. It was also as if the people being drawn to these places have accepted this fate. This is in spite of the fact that they seem to be holding onto the possibility of something else. In the church at Medjugorje, the cross with the crucified Jesus was periodically put up in the area of the alter, then taken down. The cross that always remained was that of the resurrected Jesus. It is an empty cross with the shroud draped over it. As awesome as it seemed to me, it was pointed out that every church or religious practice that retained a cross with the crucified Jesus on it would be martyred.

Personally, I believe that attainment to a union with Christ has little to do with your physical actions (or sins), and much more to do with your desire to know god. If you should truly attain this union you (in conjunction with that form) can change the world. If we are headed for a time when heaven and earth are merged to the degree that there will be little distinction between each form (how I was able to see Mary as a physical being) then how could anyone think that there is going to be suffering in heaven??????? In other words before heaven can be brought to earth the suffering has got to be ended. If you are bringing suffering of any kind to the earth, then you must be bringing Hell to earth. Which one do you want?????

There were some signs of even worse things to come, but I found them to be too unbelievable to relate. As a small example, either Garabandal is going to be resurrected, or it is going to be a sign of what will happen if Mary's messages are not taken in the proper light. The apparition site was blasted by lightening, and the visionaries were all taken away. Nothing like this has occurred in Medjugorje, although various degrees of these manifestations have occurred at other apparition sites as well.

Conclusion

So far in America we have been sheltered from the more intense struggles going on in Europe and the Middle East. We can talk about it, and we can practice our beliefs unencumbered, so to speak. In general I found that things in Europe are much more pronounced. One can sense the energy building up there in a way that is eventually going to manifest itself throughout the world. It was also made very obvious to me that each of us is here to fulfill our own purpose. There are going to be those who are martyred, those who are saved, those who are taken in a rapture, and those who will do nothing. Although it saddens me to see the suffering, the confusion, the doubt and the like, there is almost no way to escape the influence of these things. We all have to go through whatever it is we are here to do. The best one can do for themselves and others is to feed the soul with the power of the source. In other words, seek to be in union with the sun (god). Let that light flow through and it will empower everything around you. This principle was further exemplified in Medjugorje as the visionaries there stressed the fact that they did not, nor would not condone the judgment of anyone based on their religious ideals or affiliations!!!! Although this principle was contained in the messages of Mary at every site around the world. They are only being applied in their truest sense at in Medjugorje. This is why Mary is still there.

Topic: More On Garabandal

The General Messages

Just in case some of you may not be up on the latest with regards to the messages received in Garabandal, thought I would fill you in on what I found out there.

The Warning

The description of the Warning as given by the girls, is an event to take place in the sky that will be like two stars colliding. It will be seen or felt by everyone, but the damage will not be extensive. As per Veronica Leuken, it will be an upper atmosphere meteor explosion that will produce an unknown light. I was told in Garabandal that Mari-Loli knows the year in which the Warning is to take place. It was not given to her as a secret so she can reveal it at any time.

The Miracle

Conchita knows the date of the miracle although there seems to be some confusion as to whether it is to take place only in Garabandal or everywhere. Since other messages portray it as a global event, and this is how it was shown to me, I would have to assume that it will not be exclusive to any one area. The Miracle is suppose to take place in April between the 7th and the 17th of the month. It will happen within 12 months of the Warning. If I had to guess, the most likely scenario would be shortly after the Warning while people are still in a state of shock.

The Sign

A sign is to be left in the glen at Garabandal, either in conjunction with the Miracle or shortly after. There will most certainly be a sign at Medjugoje as well.

The Final Chastisement

All that is known for sure is that this will come after the Miracle.

Personal Messages to Mari-Loli

Oddly enough, a few of Mari-Loli's personal messages have been published. One of them concerns meditation. In one of her visions Mari-Loli was instructed in this practice by Mary. "In order to meditate well, it is necessary to keep your mind centered on the theme about which you are meditating, because otherwise your imagination will wander to other things that might have happened, or you might want to do."

This is a rather interesting statement to be made in a tradition that pretty much subscribes to prayer only. And by the way, it is excellent advice when it comes to the practice of meditating. Although prayer is certainly to be condoned versus doing no kind of spiritual practice at all, there is most certainly a distinct difference between prayer, and meditation. Where the act of prayer is making requests to a form of God that is apparently outside of oneself (there would be no other reason for using words otherwise), the act of meditating is designed to help you find God within yourself.

In fact, in the vernacular of sin, the greatest of all sins is the separation of yourself from God. Virtually every tradition held within society and every organized religion is designed to perpetrate this very unfortunate condition. This is magnified by the very premise that the body is not to become aware of the soul. Or that the soul is the domain of God, and therefore you are not to be aware of it. Or, the body is all you have, and because of this you are a condemned sinner. This whole notion is an exercise in the epitome of hypocrisy as the only reason there is sin is because of the separation from God. With this separation comes all notions of what is good and what is bad. The soul is the only thing which is sinless, and anything that distracts you from knowing this part of yourself is the greatest evil.

It is quite impossible to discipline the body to be perfect. This is the great lie. It is very easy to feed the soul in a way that will manifest this perfection in spite of what the body is compelled to do.

Now that I have said my piece on that topic, a few words on meditation based on my own experience.

As Mary mentioned, the ability to control the mind is difficult. For this reason, when one is first learning to meditate, it is best to have something to occupy the mind. One technique is silent repetitions. It is best to keep them short and to the point. Although I use the Sanskrit language for this I will give you a couple of translations. Unfortunately the Sanskrit words don't really translate into English very well. Most of them take a number of English words to express something done in one word of Sanskrit.

Chants
The Universe pays homage to the Lord

The Universe in this sense is the greater scope of existence as a manifestation of the divine. The God of Gods, the Infinite Unmanefested Eternal Father is in essence, simply existance itself. He essentially has no purpose other than to provide the material out of which everything exists. Those forms which provide direction or meaning to existance are a part of God but not stationary. These forms include the concept of Christ, Mary, Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, and the Saints and Messiahs below them. So, what this mantra is stating is that you asking God to manifest whatever active form you are seeking in your life.

Another way to phrase this chant would be God manifest Christ

What is missing in the English language is a degree of reverence in this request, thus I used the word homage although this doesn't actually relay the principle very well either. As you are beseaching the greatest of beings, obviously there need to be a bit of respect involved.

Therefore some phrase the mantra as:
The Universe bows down before the Lord.

This doesn't quite do it either because God is actually above the Lord, so the actual meaning is more of a request. At the same time, it is not a plee, it is a respectful demand. As such, you are saying, God, I recognize your authority and your power. It is in respect of it, that I want the Lord to be manifested. Well hopefully you get the idea.

By the way the Sanscrit word that expresses all of this is simply, Namah, and the Universal God - Aum. (Amen)

This is the basic form of the mantra, however it can be tailorer to whatever diety you wish. For women a female form would be best, and for men a male form. Thus:

The Universe pays homage to Mary, or
The Universe pays homage to Jesus

While you are sitting in meditation you are chanting these words silently to yourself.

A second means of keeping the mind busy is to focus your attention on your breathing. Be aware of only the air flowing over your upper lip into your nose. The mind is a curious thing, so it is usually satisfied with exploring the sensation of feeling the movement of the air.

Last but not least is the process of focusing your attention within. This usually requires an act of will power. However, at first you don't even know what your attention is. So you need to look for it. To do this involves observing yourself listening to the words used in the mantra, or sensing the air on your lip. What part of you is even capable of being aware of anything? You might even try observing yourself reading, or eating or doing any other task that requries some degree of attention to perform. Then try to observe what part of you is consentrating on that task.

Once you have gained this awareness, you need to focus your attention on the area of the heart. This is not easy at first because initally you will find nothing there to focus on. This is because you are used to focusing on physical things and not things of the soul or spirit. So, you need to have some patience and keep looking.

This brings us to the final aspect of the mantra. In requesting that God manifest Christ for instance, you are not asking for Christ to be manifested outside of you but within you. This is another part of the word Namah. In truth, this is the only way this form can truely be manifested. In order to see it "outside" it must be inside. We are each like a radio tower that transforms energy into reality. In meditation I am seeking to tune into whatever form "station" I desire to manifest. The less static or interferance, and the more will (watts or energy) you apply to tuning into these forms, the greater the degree of their manifestation.

So, now as you draw that form of energy into yourself, the last step is to become aware of it. If you keep at it you will come to know it and to sense it and to see it manifesting around you.

Although Mary made a very good suggestion to Mary Loli about the distractions of the imagination, if you should find that your mind is wandering and you are having images of past experiences or some other place that you would rather be, you can use the imagination to help you, or should I say give the imagination something more constructive to occupy itself. In this regards, you might try imagining a white or blue light coming down out of heaven and filling you with the divine. A good challenge for the imagination is to try to concieve of the greatest form of God you can muster. What would it be like to be standing in a light being created by the most powerful being in the universe. This light by the way is not a physical light but a light of creation, and Love. Then try to feel the light.

Oddly enough all of these things are already within you. It is simply the case of not being aware of it, because we are constantly being destracted by the activities of the physical world, or mind games that are designed to take you away from your inner being. Contrary as it might seem, one of the most powerful of these mind distractions are good intentions. This is a delicate subject so I won't dwell on, it but essentially you might consider the fact that the very best you could possibly do for any other individual is nothing, when you compare it with what God can do for them. This doesn't mean that you should do nothing. If means that instead of requiring anyone to live by your standards, simply allow God to work through you in whatever way He deems best. Go through the actions, with no expectations or judgments and keep focused on Him.

So these things are offered as suggestions. Each will make of them as they will.

Topic: More On Medjugorje

As I have had a request for more information on the Mother Mary at Medjugorje, I thought some other people might be interested as well. The following is an exerpt from the book I am currently working on called The Final Warning. I hope you will find it to be informative.

There are some quotes from two books I found in Medjugorje that I believe capture the story of the apparitions in Bosnia. They are "The First Months Of The Apparitions In Medjugorje", written by Stipe Cavar, and "Queen of the Cosmos", written by Jan Connnell. If you should have the inclination to read them I would highly recommend it.

The Blessed Mother Mary At Medjugorje

On June 24, 1981, a feast day of John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary made Her first appearance to one of the six visionaries in Medjugorje, Bosnia. From then to the present day, Mary has continued to be seen by the children and a host of others. Visions of the dancing sun, and numerous miracles have been reported in conjunction with Her apparitions. According to one of the visionaries, Marija, Mary will remain available to the masses at Medjugorje until the return of Her Son Jesus. At Medjugorje, She announced Herself as the Queen of Peace.

"At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, two girls, (Ivanka and Mirjana) took a walk through the village directly below the mountain. Suddenly, one of them (Ivanka) noticed a person on the mountain who held a child in Her arms. She thought and understood immediately that this was Our Lady and said this to her friend (Mirjana) who, however, did not believe her. She dismissed it by saying, "Come on, what lady? How could Our Lady appear to us?"

They returned to the village, and on the way they met their neighbor, little Milka, who asked them to go with her to help bring in the sheep. They did this, and on the way (back) to the village, Ivanka again saw Our Lady at the same spot. She told this to the others. They looked, and they also saw Her. In the meantime, Vicka (Vida) also came with her neighbors Ivan (son of the deceased Jozo) and Ivan (son of Stanko). She had already seen the girls before, and was afraid when they told her that they had seen Our Lady.

Now they all saw Her, but none of them heard Our Lady say anything to them. They only saw that She was waving with Her hand, motioning them to come towards Her. She also showed them the child in Her arms, that she kept covering and uncovering. After 5 or 6 minutes, Our Lady disappeared, leaving in the light. The children returned to their homes with indescribable impressions and thoughts about this all night.

The events to follow in Medjugorje, were a virtual repeat of what happened in Fatima and Garabandal. There were conflicts between the priests who supported the children, government officials and other clergy within the Catholic Church hierarchy. There were skeptics who came to examine the visionaries. Numerous miraculous events happened to the people in the village who were associated with the children.

As with all the other places where the Virgin Mother has been seen, the visionaries have received three distinct kinds of messages. There are general messages. These include instructions for lay people with regards to doing practices applicable to everyone who is seeking a greater connection to the divine. They are about such things as how to use the rosary, mass, fasting, praying and how to lead a good life. The second kind of messages, are those which are apocalyptic in nature. These are about the physical, social and miraculous events which are to preceded the coming of Jesus. In every case, these are given in the form of secrets. Finally, there are individual messages. All of the visionaries have received personal instructions from Mary.

In Medjugore, Mary has given each visionary ten secrets about major events to come. In general, all of the six visionaries have guarded the secrets very tightly. Some more than others. However, they have revealed some of what they know in various interviews.

Three Days Before

Mirjana - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje

Q. "Mirjana, you have been quoted as saying that you know not only the ten secrets, but also the different dates on which these secrets will come to pass. Is that true?
A, Yes.
Q. Can you tell us anything?
A. There will be events on the earth as warnings to the world before the visible sign is given to humanity.
Q. Will these happen in your lifetime?
A, I will be a witness to them.
Q. In what way?
A. Three days before each of the events I will notify Fr. Petar Ljubicic.
Q, What role do you play as an advance witness to these secrets?
A. My witness will be an affirmation to the world of the authenticity of the apparitions at Medjugorje and a stimulus for the conversion of the world.
Q. Will many people die between the time of the first chastisement or event or abomination and the Permanent Sign promised at Medjugorje?
A. After the visible sign, those still alive will have little time for conversion.
Q. Mirjana, what, if anything, are you permitted to tell us about the ten secrets?
A. The first two secrets come as advance warnings for the whole world and as proof that the Blessed Mother is here in Medjugorje.
Q. And the third secret?
A. The third secret will be a visible sign at Medjugorje - permanent, indestructible, and beautiful.
Q. Are the ten secrets regional or global?
A. I may not answer that question.
Q. Are they painful for Medjugorje or for the whole world?
A. The whole world.
Q. You have said that the eighth secret is worse than the previous seven, and that the ninth is even worse, and the tenth is totally bad and cannot be lessened whatsoever - its that true?
A. I cannot say anything about that, because even a word would disclose the secret before it's time to do so".

Mirjana has been the most open about the nature of the secrets. The first three secrets are apparently the same as what was given to the girls at Garabandal. The first two events will be warnings to the world. It would be only logical to assume these will be the Final Warning and the Great Miracle. As in Garabandal, Mary also promised to leave a permanent sign at the time of the Great Miracle. The question is, whether there will be a sign will be placed both in Garabandal and Medjugorje, or only Medjugorje.

The involvement of the Catholic Church at Fatima, Garabandal, and Medjugorje, has been a critical part of what has happened at each apparition site. Obtaining the official recognition of the Church seems to be a critical issue. The Church has established a method of acknowledging true miracles and apparitions which can take many years to finalize. The fulfillment of the secrets, (the prophecies of Mary) is regarded as a key issue in determining the validity of the visionaries. This is why the procedure of advising a priest three days in advance of a predicted event was established.

From the nature of Mirjana’s depiction of the secrets, they apparently cover all of the major phenomena which are to precede, and even include, the Final Chastisement. They may also include the time of the return of Jesus. If so, the visionaries may all live through the final war, as well as the great destructive event which is to end it. The secrets to follow the coming of the permanent sign must then be about the plagues which are to be associated with times of tribulation.

Silence Is Golden

Ivanka - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje

Q. "Ivanka, you see the Blessed Mother each year on the anniversary of the apparitions - can you describe your apparition of June 25, 1988?
A. Yes. The Blessed Mother was very beautiful. She had gold around the edges of her dress and her veil this time. She spoke to me particularly about the third and fourth secrets.
Q. Is there anything you can share with us?
A. No.
Q. Can you tell us about your apparition of June 25, 1989?
A. Yes. We spoke about the 5th and 6th secrets.
Q. Ivanka, I hesitate to ask this, but I feel I must: would God destroy this world?
A. We are destroying this world, not God.
Q. Is the destruction of the world part of the secrets?
A. I may not speak about the secrets".
Ivanka has obviously chosen not to reveal anything, about the secrets, except to acknowledge that she has received them.

The Magnitude Of The Great Miracle

Vicka - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje

Q. "Would you like to emphasize any part of the messages?
A. In these last days, the Blessed Mother is urging us to pray, especially for youth all over the world, because they are having great difficulties. And we are the only ones able to help them, by prayer and love coming from our hearts. The Blessed Mother said: ‘ Dear children, this is a grave period of great seriousness, I long for you to start living these messages with your with heart.”
Q. Vicka, some of these messages at Medjugorje involve chastisements for the sins of the world, don’t they?
A. Yes. The blessed Mother said there will be punishments for the sins of the world.
Q. Do you know anything about the End Times, The Apocalypse?
A. No, nothing.
Q. When the permanent sign comes in Medjugorje, will it be too late for many to convert?
A. Yes.
Q. Will the permanent sign happen in your lifetime?
A. Yes
Q. Can you tell us something about the physical healings which have taken place here since the apparitions began?
A. In the early days of the apparitions, I had a friend who used to come to the mountain every day. He had injured his leg in a farming accident; in fact from his knee down he had no leg. The lower part of his leg was missing. But every day he would climb the mountain. We had to help him because it was difficult for him. I would see the Blessed Mother look at him and smile at him very tenderly.
Q. What happened to him?
A. Well., once the Blessed Mother showed us a vision of his leg and promised us that She would give him a new leg.
Q. Has his leg been healed?
A. Not yet. That will happen when the permanent sign comes.
Q. How do you know?
A. The Mother Mary showed us".
Vicka confirms the appearance of a permanent sign on the Apparition Mountain at the time of the Great Miracle. The magnitude of the Miracle is also conveyed in her descriptions of the healing she expects for her friend. The girls in Garabandal also said that everyone, everywhere in the world, would be healed of all afflictions. However, amputees are going to be given new limbs, this would be way beyond the norm of any traditional healings by faith.

According to Veronica, the day of the Miracle will be a time comparable to how things were when She and Jesus were last on the earth. The healings could then be expected to rival those done by Jesus. A person completely healed of leprosy (a rejuvenation of body deformities), a blind person being given new eyes, Lazerus being raised from the dead, demons being driven out (insanity eliminated) and people with other completely debilitating diseases being rejuvenated may be what will happen. Jesus said that there would be many miracles performed by others before His return. He also said not to mistake any of the preachers who were associated with them as the Messiah. Apparently, one aspect of the Great Miracle, is to demonstrate the difference between what He can do, and what can be done by, or through others.

No One Is Stopping The War

Ivan - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje
Q. "Ivan, do you still have your apparitions every day with the Blessed Mother?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. Do you know when the permanent sign is going to come?
A. Yes
Q. Is it going to be in your lifetime?
A. Yes
Q. When the permanent sign comes, will everybody in the whole world believed because of the sign?
A. I don’t know.
Q. Did the Blessed Mother talk to you about that, Ivan?
A. About that and much more. It is difficult with words to describe how much the Blessed Mother loves us. She is worried about the whole world. People talk so much about nuclear war, but there is nothing much that anybody is doing to stop it.
Q. Ivan, can you share anything with us about the secrets?
A. About the secrets, I can say nothing".

Ivan is also very closed mouthed about what the secrets contain. All of the visionaries talk about stopping war by doing more spiritual practices. However, they are not usually specific about the nature of any great future wars. There is only this hint from Ivan about no one doing anything to stop the potential of a great nuclear war in the future. When this war is to begin, (the final Battle of Armageddon) may be one of the secrets.

I Am Not A Prophet

Jacov - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje

Q. "Do you know whether we are coming into the times referred to as the End Times?
A. My role is not as a prophet. I am a witness to the messages the Blessed Mother is bringing to the whole world here at Medjugorje".

None of the visionaries call themselves prophets. They all claim that the secrets were given only as a means of verifying the reality of Mary’s appearances. The fulfillment of the secrets, (prophecy) are part of the requirements established by the Church, which must be met before it will officially recognize any divinely inspired event. These are also part of the requirements which must be met before a saint can be canonized. The Last Apparition

Marija - Concerning the secrets from Mary at Medjugorje

Q. "Do you know if this is the Blessed Mother’s last apparition on earth?
A. Yes. The blessed Mother said that this is Her last apparition on earth, where we can touch Her, see Her and talk to Her.
Q. Do you know why?
A. After the secrets are realized, the Blessed Mother will not need to come anymore.
Q. Is the Blessed Mother here for everyone on earth, even those who don’t know Jesus?
A. The Blessed Mother told me that she is the mother of all people, and that she loves everyone in the world with the same love.
Q. Why has the Blessed Mother been with us for such a long time at Medjugorje?
A. The Blessed Mother is here calling all the faithful of the world to conversion. She wants every one of her children in Heaven."

For some reason, Mary has elected to continue Her appearances in Medjugorje up until Jesus returns. After His return, Mary will not need to appear anymore because Her apparitions were all about telling the world of His arrival. In addition, according to Veronica Lueken, She will be staying on earth, in the body, with Jesus when He returns. There will be not more apparitions because at that point they will both be seen as real physical beings.

While Mary's presence can be felt in other places around the world such as Fatima and Garabandal, it is nothing like what is happening at Medjugorje. One of the primary differences is the mentality of the people. In Medjugorje, everyone is welcome, regardless of their religious backgrounds. They live the conveyance of Mary's role as the Mother of all children of the world.

The visionaries have not backed down from whatever kind of attention they have received. Although they are each relaying Mary’s messages in their own way, none of them have left Bosnia. None of them have denied what they have experienced. They are all working within the framework of the Church to bring about positive changes, even though none of them have become priests or nuns.

Epilogue

Everyday we get up to face a world of unknowns. Even the best laid plans are subject to change in the face of the chaos of the cosmos. We survive by having faith in ourselves, and using the knowledge gained from dealing with times of hardship, and the times of plenty. No matter how great the difficulty may seem, we learn and grow by facing these challenges and overcoming them. The prospects of a global catastrophe, and the return of The Messiah are no different. Monumental environmental changes and the Great Miracles of the divine, are an inevitable aspect of our existence. They simply happen over a greater expanse of time.

If the ten secrets given to the visionaries at Medjugorje are indeed about major events which are to precede the return of Jesus, and the exact dates for when they will happen are known, then any possibility of avoiding them is gone. When Mary first appeared in Fatima there seemed to be some hope of preventing a time when there would be a hell on earth. At the same time, the third secret portrayed the atrocities of an inevitable war. If this is so, then Mary’s messages may never have been about stopping the tribulations of the end-times. Instead, She was only asking for times of peace when mankind could prepare for these eventualities.

Looking at all of the major developments of the last century, a greater consciousness seems to be directing humanity to prepare for these events, even if they are not consciously aware of it. There has been an amazing amount of prosperity attained, in a very short period of time. The technological advances have been phenomenal, in comparison to the whole of human history. Old social barriers have been torn down, allowing the masses access to every form of spiritual teaching. Motivations have also been provided to stimulated the populous to prepare for the worst.

The threat of a nuclear war as prompted some to build shelters, store food and other supplies. The Y-2K computer glitch was suppose to shut down the economic and public services. The worst case scenario included the loss of our financial institutions, defense systems, water, and electricity. This threat was easy to understand. It was not an act of God, it was a computer problem. The obvious answer was to store some food, water and money to survive.

The times of tribulation are to bring us even more incentives to prepare for the most devastating event man has ever witnessed. Humanity will be prodded, poked and cajoled by those greater souls who know what is coming. Some people will be moved others will not. The messages of the prophets about the coming of the end-times have been debatable. As things begin to intensify, the clarity and purpose of these messages will become hard to ignore. Especially those of The Mother Mary.

With the coming of the Final Warning and the Great Miracle all doubts about the reality of the end-times should be removed. There should be no question in the minds of those who hear “the voice, Our Lady says, is a voice within you: Your Warning before The Chastisement! Flash, fire, and the voice within you! The Final Warning before Chastisement. Will you be listening? What is to come in the times of tribulation is covered in The End Of Ages Part III, The End Of Time.

APPENDIX I

A Journey To See The Blessed Mother

Even as I was planning my trip to see the Virgin Mary, there appeared to be a big difference between what was happening in Bosnia, verses Fatima, Portugal and Garabandal, Spain. My first clue came when I attempted to make reservations to Split, Croatia via Madrid. There were constant problems obtaining the tickets from LA to Madrid, but the Medjugore tickets came through right away. Both during and after making these arrangements, I was advised to go through Frankfurt to Medjugorje, and bypass Spain completely.

Medjugorje

My first day in Medjugore was rather uneventful. I attended mass and generally explored the area. I received a message on the second day, about returning to Split for some reason. The implication was that my spiritual purpose did not necessarily relate to what was happening in Medjugore. I am still puzzled about Split. When I arrived in Croatia there was some kind of attraction. I am still not sure exactly what I am suppose to do about it.

On the next to the last day of my visit, I made an appeal to Mary. In my prayer I stated that I had come 10,000 miles to see Her, and regardless of what else I was suppose to be doing, I was going to stay there until I experienced Her presence. The next day I decided to return to the Apparition Mountain at around seven o’clock in the evening. If nothing else, at least I would be able to watch the sun setting over the valley below.

As I was walking up the most commonly used trail to the apparition site, I saw a group of people looking up at the sky. They were pointing at the sun, and commenting about how big it was getting. A little before meeting up with these people, I had also been inclined to look at the sun. At first glance, everything seemed to be normal, although a cloud was forming out of a clear blue sky around it. A little further on, I looked again. The sun seemed to have merged with the cloud and both were getting bigger. A rainbow had also formed to the right of the cloud After moving a little further up the path, I decided to take a picture of the rainbow. It was peculiar in that it was straight up and down instead of arched. The rainbow colors seemed to be rising up from a pedestal in the clouds. As I focused my camera on the sky, the sun could not be distinguished as an orb. It seemed to have simply turned into a white mass which be that time had covered most of the sky. The picture showed nothing but a pure white sky with no rainbow.

I received a couple of impressions while viewing the “dancing sun”. The white sky represented what was going to be seen (the unknown light) at the time of the Final Warning. It also came to me that the same thing was going to happen during the day of the Great Miracle. The rainbow represented the sign which will be seen over one of the mountains at Medjugorje. It will be manifested by the sun (God). It will be an unusual light. It will hover above the ground over the mountain.

After taking the picture, I continued up to the apparition site. The first thing to catch my attention was a young nun kneeling in front of the cross located in the center of the open area. She was about 25 feet away from it, with no one else around her. I took a picture from directly behind her. When it was developed, a black form appeared on the picture which seemed to come out of the sky. It streamed down over the cross. It could have been the strap from my camera, or something else.

I walked around the apparition site, looking for a good place to take a picture of the sunset. In the process, I examined the crosses and the plaques left around the edges of the open area. Eventually, I found a rock to sit on, which provided me a good view of the valley below. I was about even with the cross in the center of the apparition site. The cross the nun was kneeling in front of. I was about the same distance away from it up the mountain.

I began to read a book written by one of the friends of the Medjugorje visionaries. After a short period of time, a young man appeared with short black hair and black glasses. He was walking towards the cross barefoot on the sharp stones. He would pick up rocks as he approached, inspect them, then through them away. When he got to the cross, he took a rock from behind it. He then stumbled away back down the mountain.

A bit later, two young girls knelt down directly across from me, on the opposite side of the cross. Even though there were other people in the area, as I looked around, the nun, the barefooted young man, the two girls, and a young man sitting to my left, were people who seemed to have special significance. All of the other people (there were usually ten or twenty people milling around the area all of the time) simply blended in with the surroundings. None of them approached the cross while I was there.

After noticing the two young girls, I returned to my book while waiting for the sunset. A few minutes later, I was compelled to look up and to my left. A young woman dressed like, and looking like everything I could ever imagine Mary to be, came walking down the trail from further up the mountain. She wore a sky blue dress, a perfectly white shawl, and a white cloth draped over her head.

My first thought was to wonder how She could keep the white portion of Her attire so completely spotless. As it began to dawn on me that it could really be Mary, I became baffled by the fact that She appeared to be a very real physical person. In other words, what I was seeing was not an apparition in the conventional sense. Although there was a slight glow around Her, She appeared in the same form as everyone else I was seeing. As a real physical being.

As She approached, some part of me became very excited. I wanted to stand up and shout at everybody, ‘look, there She is, it’s Mary, don’t you see Her’? The only problem was, I couldn’t move. Neither would the words come out of my mouth. I looked around to see if anyone else had noticed Her. No one seemed to be paying any attention. Not even one little glance. As I recalled the scene later, everyone was frozen for the duration of Mary’s presence. The only motion I noticed was the movement of the lips of the young girls who were kneeling across from me.

As Mary continued down the hill towards the center cross, I was quite baffled about what to do. Mentally, I continued to wonder if it was really Her. At the same time another part of me was quite certain about who She was. I decided to reach for my camera so I could take a picture of Her. I recall attempting to grab the pouch where the camera was located. I could feel it, but when I tried to grip it, my hand went right through it. It was then I noticed that my physical arm hadn't moved.

I was still sitting in the same position on the rock, holding a book with both hands. I experienced a version of this condition when I saw Jesus. In the presence of these souls, the nature of one’s own soul is heightened. I became aware of the distinction between my inner Self and my body. Even though it seemed as though I was able to move my head and my eyes to look around the apparition site, I may have been seeing the whole seen through the third eye. As such my body may have been frozen, looking at the book the whole time.

My next impulse was to stand up and walk towards Her, but I couldn't do that either. My inability to approach Her in any manner was rather frustrating, because I was feeling drawn to Her like a magnet. My last recourse was to stare at Her as hard as I could, in order to ascertain if there was anything supernatural about Her. By this time She had stopped and was standing behind the cross. She was about the same distance from it as each of the key individuals mentioned, including myself. You might say that She completed the circle around the cross. She was behind it off center towards the two girls. The nun directly in front of it on the opposite side. Myself and the young man to my left were between Mary and the nun, even with the cross.

Mary raised Her hands slightly from Her sides with Her palms facing the cross. I took this gesture to mean that She was creating the scene I was looking at. Almost immediately after I began to intensely stare at Her, She abruptly turned and looked straight at me. Her eyes were like two laser beams of sun light. They were definitely not the eyes of a normal person. For the brief moment I found myself looking directly into Her eyes it was as if I could see Her being as nothing but light surrounded by a shell in the form of a body.

I soon found that I could no longer look directly at Her. The light from Her eyes was too bright. I was compelled to bow my head and look at Her feet. At the same moment these words came into my head, "it is not considerate of you to stare at your Mother like that". My reaction was that I just wanted to be closer to Her, and being considerate didn't seem to be very important at the moment.

As I looked back on it, Her gentle reprimand was about a confirmation of who She was and an effort on Her part to calm me down. She continued to look at me and repeat the message, “be considerate”, for what seemed like a minute or so. Eventually, She succeeded in calming my soul to the point where I was content to simply watch Her from a distance. Later, I came to realize that my initial reactions were blocking me from seeing what She was trying to tell me.

After this, She once again turned to faced the cross. At first, She simply resumed Her gesture of feeding the scene. After another few moments, She turned, walked a little ways back up the hill to the edge of the trail. She turned and looked directly at the sun. Some kind of interchange began to happen between the sun and Herself. She turned back and forth a bit as if basking in the rays of it. The whole front part of Her body began to glow.

As She was doing this I began to think that She would eventually have to continue down the trail towards the nun. I hoped to get a picture of Her as She passed by. Instead, as if to read my mind, She quickly turned in the opposite direction and walked out of sight down the hill a little further up the trail. I was then compelled to continue my reading the book I was holding. It was almost as if the whole episode occurred in some other realm as I was reading a book. As soon as Mary had appeared time stood still. This was the reason why no one in the scene could move. Neither was there any sound. No birds, no stones being disturbed, no nothing. Even though the girls across from me appeared to be verbally reciting the rosary or saying some other kind of invocation, I could not hear their voices.

It took a couple minutes for me to come to my senses. As soon as I could move, I tried to follow Her. When I got to the point in the trail where She had disappeared, I found another trail leading down the hill. It went straight down the hill to the bottom. Because of the incline, there was a fairly clear view of what was below me, especially where the trail ended. There was a paved area which led through some buildings to a street. After not seeing Her in any direction, I headed down the trail. I kept looking for Her to come out at the bottom. If She had continued down the hill at a normal walking speed, I know I would have seen Her somewhere along the way. I did not see Her anywhere along the trail, nor did She ever come out at the bottom.

About half way down, I heard some young girls talking to my right. After few words, I hear a loud bang on the rocks to my left. As I heard the girls talking, I was struck by a number of impressions. Firstly, Mary was speaking through the visionaries (the girls). What came from them were Her words and Her voice. Secondly, I could not see the girls when they were talking, it was as if the voices were coming from the earth itself. As such, Mary was indeed the earth Mother. She was the source of all of the children on earth. The loud thump I heard on the rocks was the Final Chastisement. It was as if Her voice coming through the girls was an announcement of this event. It was also as if it was being manifested by Her. Apparently, She was the one who was going to met out the punishment so to speak. This message complied with another message I received at Garabandal.

I couldn't help but notice that I seemed to be located exactly in between the voices and the thumping noise. I am still not sure how to take this. I could be in America at the time, which is half way between Medjugorje (where the girls would be) and where the impact is to take place (China). This also seemed to comply with my role spiritually in some manner.

I continued down the trail. I then saw the two girls, who were at the cross, emerge from the trail at the bottom. Somehow, even though they were still at the top when I started down, they had passed me, and emerged about the time I would have expected Mary to emerge. I hurried on down the trail and tried to discover where the two girls went. They disappeared as well. What I did find was a church located to the right of the trail.. It had been built directly under the apparition site. It as about 8:30 at night. The church was empty and dark.

There was a vestibule in front of the main door where I found a picture of Jesus. I don't know what denomination the church was, but there were no crosses to be seen in it, or on it. It was a rather striking contrast to the Catholic Church in the middle of town, where hundreds of people were continually gathered, and services continued from dawn to dusk. Still, I couldn’t help but feel like this was the start of a new kind of church. There were no crosses, only a picture of Jesus. The whole construction of it was very different. I had the impression of a new church which was destined to be created after the Final Chastisement. I found a candle, lit it, and placed in front of the picture of Jesus. As with most of my visions, it takes awhile to get over the wonder of it all. It takes a few days for the information received to make sense. As I have now come to interpreted it, the nun must have represented Sister Lucia. She was the one who received the visions at Fatima. Lucia has since continued to be devoted to the cross, but has received only a few more personal messages. From what I could tell, Mary regarded Lucia as the perfect nun, but she was sinking into the mentality of Church doctrines.

The two young girls across from me, must have been two of the visionaries currently seeing Mary at Medjugorje. As I heard their voices half way down the hill, I took this to mean that Mary would be speaking through them up until the Final Chastisement. Perhaps only two of all the visionaries will remain in contact with Her up until the end. Only two girls of the original six visionaries in Medjugorje are currently seeing Her on a regular basis. These may be the ones.

I have also found myself wondering about four other young men I saw in Medjugorje. One of these was the young gentlemen sitting to my left at the apparition site. What role would he play? He was obviously very devoted to Jesus. He did not move until after Mary had departed. Then he walked over and kissed the cross before he left. He went to my right, back down the most popular trail. He appeared to be either Jewish or Italian. He was already there when I had arrived. For some reason I could not move until after he left the scene. He could have represented the author of the book I was reading. I have been compelled to contact Mr. Cavar.

Everyday while I was in Medjugorje, I would see a version of the boy with dark short hair and glasses. I first saw him sitting on a bench in front of the hotel where I was staying. The second day he was working in the garden of the hotel. In the afternoon he went behind the building and began pounding on the rocks under my window. This was a very strange activity. He had a sludge hammer and was pounding on the rocky ground. He would break up the rocks, select a few of them, put them in a wheel barrow, then take them away. I appealed to Mary to intervene, as he was making a lot of noise. A woman came and told him to stop. Afterwards I didn't see this particular person again.

On the third day, as I was coming down the trail from Apparition Mountain, I came across another young man with glasses and dark short hair. He was walking up the trail on the sharp rocks barefooted. As I passed him, I was inclined to tell him that Mary wanted him to open his heart, and not slice open his feet. The young man who came to the apparition site on the last day, and took the rock from behind the cross, seemed to be another rendition of the same individual. All of these young men were wearing either black tee shirts or pants. I was quite baffled as to the significance of these individuals.

The day I arrived back in the states, I got my answer. I was profoundly struck, when I saw a picture of Yosef Ishuran. Yosef was a 14 year old Israeli boy, who along with a young American boy were stabbed and stoned to death in a cave in Israel. These two young men were killed while I was in Garabandal. I was deeply saddened when I saw Yosef's picture, as it resembled all the young men I had seen. It came to me, that he was the first of the true martyrs who will be sacrificed in the coming times.

Those people I saw walking barefooted up the hill, or pounding on rocks, were representatives of the martyrs. As Yosef was stoned to death, the preoccupation with rocks somehow related to the nature of the martyrdom. Still, I felt there was more to it. It had something to do with the mentality of these people. It had something to do with the nature of a woman dressed in black, who I also saw walking down the trail from Apparition Mountain on my first visit to the mountain.

She was constantly chattering. Later I saw her going into a large house where everyone was yelling at each other. Outside of the house a little boy was throwing stones at another boy. I got the impression that this kind of activity was harming Mother Earth (Mary). On some level, they were responsible for striking Her, or taking some piece of Her away. It was as if She was going to lose them anyway, but She could not endure having them take other innocents with them. For instance, the American boy who was killed with Yoseh may have been symbolic of Israel drawing America into it's martyrdom. The crucifixion was suppose to exemplify the results of this kind of mentality.

Humanity was given 2000 years to come around. The situation hasn’t really changed, it may have gotten worse. Mary's appearances are a final appeal. She is making a last gesture, which if not heeded, will result in the people with this mentality eliminating themselves. Mary is deeply saddened by the whole situation. She is doing Her best to bring these people to the truth.

After seeing Mary, I went to the main church. I couldn't get in. In fact I couldn’t seem to do anything. I went back to the hotel and went to bed. The next thing I remember was being awakened by a loud rumbling sound. It was as if a very large vehicle was driving down the street in front of my hotel at a very high speed. This was very curious, because the street wasn’t very wide, nor could a large vehicle move at a very high speed on it. It could have been a train rolling by at high speed, but I saw no railroad tracks in the vicinity of the town.

Just after the rumbling started, the ground began to shake. Both the rumbling and the shaking lasted only a very short amount of time, but it was very intense. The ground movement was particularly disorienting, as it was if the earth was turning to jelly. I was inspired to look at my watch after the shaking stopped. It was 12:11 AM. I was convinced at the time, that what I had experienced was the Final Warning. So, I got up and turned my radio to the BBC. There was no news about any explosions or major earthquakes. I wondered if anyone else had felt it. Even through the hotel was full, it remained quite. The next day I forgot to ask anyone about it.

The shaking and the time on my watch must have had something to do with the Final Warning or the Final Chastisement. The rumbling sound would be the kind of noise heard overhead as a large object entered the atmosphere. As my initial thoughts related to the Final Warning, I took the 12:11am time to have something to do with when it would happen. If it occurred at 12:11 AM European time, it would be 3:11 PM San Diego time, 7:11 PM Nova Scotia time, and 6:11 AM China coast time. 6 am China time would be a logical choice for the Final Chastisement. Because the Final Warning and the Final Chastisement are both celestial object events, I found it hard to distinguish whether I was been told about one or the other.

Fatima

My experience in Fatima was short and sweet. It was dreary and cold during the two days I was there. I was sitting on one of the pews in the apparition chapel when I asked Mary why this was so. I was immediately compelled to look up and to my right. My eyes came to rest on a huge gray granite statue of Mary mounted high up on the pillared wings extending out from each side of the main church. The words in my head said, "they have turned me to stone". The ceremonies were there, but the true meaning was lost. The people did not see Her as a real entity; alive and well. There was no more magic in Mary's presence at Fatima.

Garabandal

My first impressions of Garabandal began before I got to Spain. I couldn’t find anybody who knew where it was. Finally, in the airport at Rome, on my way back from Medjugorje, I was compelled to ask an Italian priest if he knew where it was. He marked a spot in the Garabandal Mountains on my map, but he couldn't tell me how to get there. Later, I asked a number of people in Spain and at Fatima about it, and even showed them the map, but nobody else had even heard of it. They all suggested that I should go someplace else. I decided to go to the area the priest had indicated anyway. Eventually, I found someone in a small town along the main highway who gave me some directions. There were rather vague but got me going in the right direction. Somehow, I finally got found Garabandal.

The climate in Garabandal was the same as it was in Fatima, cold and rainy. It was the same throughout Spain and Portugal the whole time I was there. Garabandal is a little hamlet on a mountainside. The setting was beautiful. The people were quite friendly, but something on a deeper level was missing. The apparitions had certainly sparked a great interest in spirituality, but it seemed to be in a darker form. Shortly after I arrived, I met three key people. Maria from Pasadena, Barbara and Joe from Massachusetts, and Michael from New Zealand.

Maria had come to Garabandal either during apparitions or soon after they ended. She became aquatinted with the families of the visionaries and when the girls all left Garabandal, Mari Loli stayed with Maria in Pasadena for several years. Michael by profession was a news photographer and had come to Garabandal to do a story on the visionaries. He became an avid follower of Mary and ended up spending all of his money to produce a video on what happened there. It was very well done. Michael spent most of his summers in Garabandal selling his videos which had become his only real interest in life.

Maria had put together a cut and dried version of the Garabandal story based around the video. She had become a mediator for the village and gave presentations to tour groups when they came to see the village. The Garabandal visionaries have allowed Maria to become their official spokes person. Maria has seen the pope, and has toured many churches in her spokesperson capacity, but her energy is very strange. She has made the dissemination of the messages of Garabandal her job. It appeared as though her sole source of income came from selling her services in this regards.

Although the people in Garabandal did not seem to take Maria very seriously, they were content to let her do her thing. She seems to have taken over everything, and from my perspective has completely distorted it. She has gotten the blessings of the church, but as far as I am concerned this was not the main point of the messages. Although I found her to be very open to the energy of Jesus and Mary, she definitely did not want to lose control of the situation. On a deeper level She is very afraid of them.

The visionaries have given up their roles to someone who may have experienced some awakening but certainly does not appear to be capable of dealing with the full scope of what Mary came to convey. Add to the mix the pride and the stubbornness of the Spanish people, and it was a very disturbing situation. I felt drug down by both Maria and Barbara who were both on the same level. An example of what I mean by this occurred while I was watching Michael's video. I began to become inspired by the spirit of Mary, and suddenly the sun broke through the clouds. As soon as this happened Maria came into the room and once more the sun disappeared.

On the third day, I journeyed up a winding trail to a cross located on the mountain behind the apparition glen. The people who had built it called it the rosary trail. At the cross I asked Mary why things were so depressing in Garabandal. I heard the words in my head, "someone needed to be spanked". Then a cold wind hit me. The wind seemed to be coming from the likes of Maria. Before the wind, the skies were gray, but it was very calm and peaceful.

The use of the word "spanked", was something I really hadn't expected. However, it would fit with the temperament of the Mary I saw in Medjugorje. My first reaction was to take the message personally. However, after thinking about it, a spanking is the more down to earth word for a Chastisement. So, Mary's answer was based on the Hand of God spanking the earth. The spanking was what I had heard in Medjugorje when the rocks were hit as I was coming down the mountain. The cold wind was the reason for the spanking. The gray skies reflected the spiritual mood of the place. Because I took the answer personally, after being hit by the wind, I asked Her what did I to deserve being spanked? I was then guided, as I was in Medjugorje, to a trail leading straight down the mountain to the apparition glen. Once there I was stopped. I found myself wondering why I was just standing there? I turned around and discovered that I was standing in front of the 10th station of the cross. There was a picture of Jesus about to be crucified.

Both Maria and Barbara told me that I should let myself be willingly martyred for the sake of Jesus. They had apparently noticed the scars on my forehead, and felt that I should willing embrace the stigmatas. If so, I might even become a Catholic saint. Because of this, I initially took my guidance to the 10th station of the cross as a confirmation of what they were saying. I began to think that perhaps I should become a martyr in the likes of all the other Catholic saints. My mission in life should be to save as many souls in purgatory as possible. But something was wrong.

I walked around the rest of the stations of the cross. At the 13th station, there is a picture of three women attending to Jesus after He was taken down from the cross. It hit me that this picture symbolized the mentality of martyrdom. These people were inspired to only care for those who suffered for their religious beliefs. This kind of caring created martyrdom in the first place. This was the kind of mentality exhibited by Maria and Barbara. It was basically suicidal.

Although I was slightly aware these influences in my life, it had never been brought to my attention in such a pronounced way before. It was these kinds of influences that hit me whenever I attempted to raise myself in the spiritual form. The higher I would go, the more the people of this mentality expected me to sacrifice myself as Jesus had been crucified. This kind of energy is totally repugnant to me. My reaction was to bring on the Final Chastisement in order to get rid of it. If God isn't going to do it, I would be glad to manifest the Chastisement myself.

I then moved to the last station of the cross - the resurrected Jesus. I told Him He was the one I wanted, and something felt very wrong in Garabandal. In front of the last station, two of the nine trees planted at the glen had been destroyed by lightening. They were not only blown apart, they were completely dead. As far as I was concerned, these two trees were the permanent sign left by Mary at Garabandal. They were an example of the means by which the people who dwelt on purgatory were going to be dealt with. Not only were they suicidal but they were full of anger, pride, secularism and self righteousness. All of the things I did not find in Medjugorje.

In my conversations with the people at Garabandal, I told them several times, that Jesus is not going to return as a martyr. There will be no more crucifixions! They did not seem to be able to grasp this idea. I will never be returning to Garabandal. It appeared to me that Mary and Jesus have virtually abandoned Fatima and Garabandal. They will always honor any sincere requests for help by the faithful, however, these prayers would be answered whether they were made from the depths of hell, or Garabandal.

The nine trees initially planted at the apparition site reflect the mentality of the number nine which is exemplified by the crucifixion. The number of the living Christ is seven. The people I talked to in Garabandal had no idea about the significance of these numbers, nor did they appear to be willing to hear about it. The trees were destroyed around 1996, approximately 35 years after the initial visions began in Garabandal. The destruction of the 8th and 9th trees by lighting, must have been the last straw in for Mary. Nothing was happening there as it should have.

The people being drawn to the sites in Fatima and Garabandal seemed to be inclined towards the mentality of the church of the crucifixion. All of the martyrs are going to get to suffer to their glory. For me, all of the warnings, the miracles and the chastisements are about the return of a victorious Jesus. All those who seek to perpetrate suffering and self debasement as the road to heaven will be eliminated, just as the trees were in Garabandal. The Christ and Mary I know, are beings of pure love, and infinite strength.

There is no need for suffering to attain union with God through them. Instead of seeking to emulate His crucifixion, the idea is to emulate Jesus in His union with the Father. Giving up ones life to God does not mean physically killing yourself.. By honoring the martyrs, the Church is endorsing the second kind of behavior. To make it even more appealing, if you really debase yourself, you could become honored as a saint. Thanks but no thanks. This no different than daring someone to stand in a pile of crap, just to see how long they can take it. It is sick, perverted and dark.

The only attention I want is that of The Christ. I don’t care about any accolades given by any organization within the realm of man. If a true connection with the power of the resurrected living God is attained, the world can be changed with just one thought. There is a major difference between being available for someone’s salvation, and intentionally making an effort to lift souls out of hell. If a soul isn’t ready, it will not be saved no matter what you do. Even if you have the capacity to go into hell and come back unscathed, it will make no difference to anyone but yourself.

Of all the apparition sites I visited, and of all the other sites around the world where Mary has been seen, as far as I know, Garabandal is the only one where the visionaries have been moved away. Personally, I don't blame them. I would strongly doubt that any of the Garabandal visionaries will return to live there. It is now Maria who represents what is happening in Garabandal. It is a great loss for the people of Spain. Apparently nothing but the Chastisement is going to change the lives of a certain number of people.

Still, the Garabandal visionaries do have the dates for the Miracle, and the year for the Warning. They also know what the Final Chastisement is going to look like. Conchita has the date for the Miracle which was given in the form of a secret. Mari Loli knows the year of the Warning, but is not sworn to secrecy. She has simply not chosen to reveal it as of yet. According to what Maria has learned from the girls, The Final Warning will happen between 6 to 8 o'clock at night. It was not clear whether this would be Garabandal time, or the time at the place of the impact.

From the scientific viewpoint, 6 to 8 o’clock in the morning would be the most likely time at the impact site. In this case it would be night time in America. In Garabandal, it would be just after noon. Both Solomon, and Veronica said that the light from the explosion would block out the sun. If they were talking about what would be seen in America, then 6 to 8 o'clock in the evening at the impact site would have to be the case. It would be between noon and four PM in the U.S. when it is dusk in Nova Scotia.

The girls have also told Maria that the Miracle will happen between the 7th and the 17th of April. It will be on a feast day of the church, but not on a feast day of Our Lady. It will happen within 12 months of the Final Warning. Because the feast dates change from year to year, no one can really guess at what the exact date will be until after the Final Warning. If the Great Miracle does happen during the Passover, it would certainly be symbolic of the Last Supper. A day when Jesus would give communion to the world.

The Visions Continue

Before and during my visit to Europe, I found myself wondering if there was some specific reason why Mary appeared at the locations of Fatima, Garabandal, and Medjugorje. Each of these places are located at approximately 45 degrees north latitude. They are all inland from the coast about the same distance. They are all at elevations of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet. She first appeared in Fatima. Next in Garabandal, which is a little further to the east. Lastly in Medjugorje, which is even further east.

Two reasons have come to me for why these particular places were chosen. One has to do with the effects of the Final Chastisement. All of them are about 20 to 30 miles from the coastline. A great wave would probably reach them, but they wouldn’t be inundated. When things calmed the ocean would be accessible without having to travel too far. The ocean may be one of the only sources of food after the destruction.

Medjugorje is located at the end of a large valley between two mountain ranges. The valley could sustain a large number of people. The same could be said of Fatima as it is located in some rolling hills at the base of a range of mountains. The mountains around Garabandal are quite rugged. Further up the road there were numerous valleys where people could stay. The sign could be a beacon of sorts, meant to attract people from all over the world to a safe location. Either it will be protected at the time of the Final Chastisement, or it could be a place where people would be taken up in the Rapture.

The second reason has to do with how the promised permanent sign will be created. It could be generated as a result of the energy the earth has absorbed from the sun. It could be sustained by something which can only be manifested at 45 degrees north latitude. Since 1917 the location of the energy source as moved further to the east. If so, the sign will only be seen in Medjugorje. In the picture I tried to take of the rainbow in the sky at Medjugorje, there were some tree branches in the foreground. There was a rainbow effect around some of the limbs. It may be an effect such as this, that will be seen on the Apparition Mountain.

As my plane was arriving in Rome from Medjugorje, it passed through the contrail of another plane heading directly away from it. Although I new it was a jet contrail, something else prompted me to consider it as the atmospheric trail of the object which will produce the Final Warning. If so, the atmospheric trail would be seen in Europe. The object would also have a very shallow entry angle. Because I saw the contrail as the plane was approaching Rome I also had the impression that the events being predicted by Mary were being manifested because of the doctrines being perpetrated by the Catholic Church. These predictions must be fulfilled as they are expected.

On the plane ride back to America from Madrid, I was seated next to a young Chinese girl who had recently married a man from Sweden. She was wearing glasses and had a red tinge to her hair. She seemed to be very interested in the topic of my book. I began to wonder about a possible connection between China and Sweden. One of the Cayce predictions says that a “young king son will soon reign” in Europe. The only active monarchies left in Europe are those of England and Sweden.

Cayce also said something about Germany in reference to where "the young king son" would come from. The Swedish people are considered to be of Germanic decent. The blond hared blue eyed look of the Swedish people was Hitler’s depiction of the Aryan race. The current king of Sweden has a 22 year old son. Prince Bertil is a virtual unknown as of 2001. At the moment, he does not seem to be a key player in European politics. Things could change after the Final Warning.

On May 25, 2001, about five days after my return, I had a dream-vision. On checking the Medjugorje web site, I found that Mary had given a message to one of the visionaries on May 25. The Dali Lama was also speaking in Los Angeles on this day. In my dream, Mari Loli had decided to announce what she knew about the year of the Final Warning. However, to my amazement, she announced the month and the day instead. It was very clearly December 11th. I was standing with a group of reporters who had surrounded her in anticipation of what she was going to say. After she said the day, she was pressed for the year. I could not discern whether she said 2001 or 2002.

The next morning, as I awoke, I remembered the time on my watch when I was shaken awake in Medjugorje. It was 12:11. It came to me that this was not the time, but the day of the warning. This made sense to me because I recall wondering about why I would be awakened at that particular moment. My watch is always at least 5 or 10 minutes off. Therefore, whatever it said would not have been the real time of the impact. 12:11 could very well have been a month and a day, verses the hour and the minute. At the same time, if the impact occurred at 6 to 8 o’clock in the evening Nova Scotia time, it would be around midnight Medjugorje time. So, the time on my watch could have been both the date and the approximate time of the Final Warning.

There were several peculiar things about the dream which make me tend to question it's validity. I was between the sleeping and waking state, as usually occurs in a vision, but the view was of a white background with the figures outlined in black. Their features were in gray tones. This is not typical of my visions of the future. They have mostly been in vivid color. Neither have I ever been given an exact date for anything before. I have asked for a verification of the of the dream several times. Each time I have received a response which seems to confirm the date as being real.

I have also found myself wondering why I was given the day, and Mari Loli still had the year. I felt that what I had been given was suppose to go with Mari Loli’s information. I had the strong feeling that I needed to convey to her what I had been shown. It was suppose to be a sign of approval, for her to release what she knew. I found this to be very odd considering the rather cool reception I got from Maria in Garabandal.

In the dream I was standing with a bunch of news people who were crowded around Mari Loli, hounding her for information. My presence in the dream as one of the people hounding Mari Loli was unsettling. I began to wonder if this was Maria’s view of me, or it had something to do with Mari Loli’s demeanor. As I had not met Mari Loli in person, I could not tell where the conflicts in were coming from.

Maria was standing over Mari Loli to my left, glaring at her. I saw Maria's presence as some kind of intimidation. It is as if she was trying to keep the Garabandal girls in line. Even though she wouldn't admit it, Maria also wanted to know about the secrets. In this sense Maria wanted me to prompt Mari Loli to reveal the year. Maria's demeanor was further demonstrated one night when she received a phone call from Mari Loli while we were having dinner. She told Mari Loli that things were very bad in Garabandal at the moment. It was as if she was trying to degrade me even before I had a chance to meet Mari Loli. A very childish game.

As a further demonstration of the confusion surrounding the Garabandal visionaries, Mary had told them that they would all deny the visions. Apparently this has come to pass. The girls at Garabandal, like Lucia at Fatima, also tend to shy away from any kind of attention. They don't like dealing with the media. This may be one of the reasons why Maria came on the scene in the first place. Unlike the four visionaries, Maria enjoys being in the spot light. Someone had to be a spokes person for them, but Maria has come to manipulate what is happening, based on her own limited view of things. As I do not believe she has actually seen Mary herself, she does not really know what she is talking about.

A final dilemma with the dream had to do with the meaning of the numbers 12 and 11. The number twelve would symbolize the church. Twelve, as in the twelve disciples, would represent the means through which the teachings of Jesus were conveyed. The number eleven would symbolize the base nature of the sign. It would be a physical sign, for those who could not get the message on a higher level. These numbers would be too perfect for the date when the Final Warning would come.

In addition, if the Final Warning happens in the winter, it would be much more dramatic because there would be longer nights. The night skies will be lit up in a way that could not be ignored. Everyone would be awake from at least five to ten in the evening to see it. If it happened during the summer, with the longer days people would have to stay up late in order to get the full effect. It was be just too perfect to have the Final Warning happen in the winter, on the day of 12/11.
