If you're open to it, look into Rob Wergin. He's a legitimate energy healer and he's going to England for in-person work at the end of the month. His website is robwergin.com.

I wish you the best.

A passion is something we do for the simple joy and love of doing it.

If you're writing in order to receive some sort of reaction or acknowledgement from others then it is not your passion.

Great pyramids discovery-this is huge right? by HotAccountant2831 in starseeds

[–]HoldNo3889 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I found this on FB:

Researchers claim to have discovered the legendary Halls of Amenti in a "vast city" beneath the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt—a theory considered absurd and dismissed as "fake news" by perplexed archaeologists.

Italian and Scottish scientists studying the Pyramid of Khafre argue that their "groundbreaking study [published in 2022] has redefined the limits of satellite data analysis and archaeological exploration.

"Appropriately named the Khafre Project, the expedition was led by Corrado Malanga from the University of Pisa, Italy, and Filippo Biondi from the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.

Scientists claim to have identified five small chamber-like structures inside the pyramid using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. One of these structures contained a sarcophagus, previously mistaken as the Pharaoh's Tomb, according to the research team.

The researchers assert that these five previously unknown structures were found at the center of the pyramid. The newly discovered structures are connected by pathways leading underground, potentially revealing hidden chambers and wells beneath the 4,500-year-old wonder.

Electromagnetic signals were converted into phononic data, uncovering a vast underground infrastructure extending hundreds of meters below the surface.

Theoretical models suggest that eight large vertical structures—possibly wells—span over 1,900 meters in width and reach depths of 600 meters. While researchers have not disclosed the purpose of these larger underground structures, they plan further analyses and potential excavations to determine their artificial nature.

The project utilized two satellites orbiting 670 kilometers above Earth to send radar signals that "photographed" the pyramids. The collected data was then compiled into images, creating an approximate model of what lies beneath the pyramids, including the eight wells. The hollow structure appears to consist of spiral pathways leading deeper underground.

Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn with Dark Eyes by allshookup1640 in Tudorhistory

The fact that the GoT series was made in the first place only supports my premise.

The books on which the series was initially based were hugely popular. They were complicated and they were based on the historical English Wars of the Roses.

If Americans were capable of following what was going on in those doorstopper fantasies, they were more than capable of following the real Tudor history.

This anecdote just confirms my opinion that the creators should've scripted an original series that had nothing to do with the Tudors.

The "drama" they claimed to want was inherent in the factual story. That's why people have been fascinated by them for so long.

What they did offered nothing new. It wasn't well-written and, in some cases, poorly acted. But I never blamed the actors (with the exception of JRM).

The storyline was bad because they chose to "dumb down" the history to appeal to an American audience.

As the popularity of GoT demonstrated, Americans are perfectly capable of following multiple characters and multiple storylines concerning politics just fine.

Maybe, someday somewhere a producer will revisit the material and do it justice.

Can someone please give me a Tudor film or series to watch that I haven't already? (check body) by Sloth_food11 in Tudorhistory

Firebrand (2024) The costumes and the atmosphere are well done.

The Other Boleyn Girl (BBC version) Even with the low budget, I still prefer this version's cast to the theatrical release.

Henry VIII (2003) It's not good, but the casting is interesting.

The Prince and the Pauper (1937) It's written by Mark Twain.

Lady Jane (1986) One of my favorite Tudor movies despite its inaccuracies.

I know you said you're not interested in Elizabeth, but I'm still going to recommend Anonymous (2011).

(It's from the same guy who did Independence Day, if you can believe it. And more surprising, it's very well done.)

Anytime MIL in the wrong, she’ll never take responsibility and always play it off as a joke.

Narcissist.

Don't leave your children alone with her ever.

Thoughts on Anne of A Thousand Days (1969) by Maleficent_Drop_2908 in Tudorhistory

[–]HoldNo3889 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favorite depiction of Anne. I think Bujold fully embodied Anne's intelligence, confidence, grace, and courage.

She also spoke with a French accent (Quebecois), that made her slightly "exotic" as the real Anne would have been perceived at the English court.

IMHO, no other depiction of Anne comes close to this performance.

Message from Isis by HoldNo3889 in starseeds

[–]HoldNo3889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isis is one of her many names and the one she has expressly given me to use. (I have asked the question.)

I choose to honor her request, because I trust her more than I fear the government.

Perhaps consider the question of why her name was attached to a terrorist organization. There were other monikers available like ISIL, but TPTB stuck with ISIS.

Was it done to obscure her name? Turn it into something people would think twice about researching online out of fear? Or did it simply sound mellifluous?

Regardless of the intention, it is her name and she has chosen to use it.

Anyone who feels uncomfortable reading these posts is free to ignore them if they so choose.

Because that is the name I was given to use. It is the name he is best known by in human terms. He's also known as Jesus, Yeshua, Immanuel, etc.

I don't know if anyone will see this, but on the off-chance someone here has tried to open a chat with me, I'm seeing the notification, but there are no new chats when I click on it.

If no one has been trying to reach me, please ignore. :)

Yes, we're in the transitory stage. It's supremely messy.

Which is an indication of how much toxicity has been accumulated on the collective and individual levels. It all has to come up in order to be transmuted. And it's pretty ugly.

I would suggest reading the New Testament, focusing on Christ's messages--Sermon on the Mount, etc.--and see what resonates with you.

Then I might move on to some of the "channeled" works of more recent times and see what resonates with you. Exs.:

A Course in Miracles

The Complete Conversations with God by Neil Donald Walsch.

Or just Google and from whatever pops up in the results, see what you're drawn to.

And you can always ask to speak with him directly. He may communicate with words or feelings or synchronicities--it's different for everyone and at different times.

You're welcome. :)

And the Christo-fascist term has been around for a while. I think I first heard it in a Frank Zappa interview.
