To rise your light-quotient in the process of ascension it is then
required that you become aware of and identify in a distinct way the
frequencies of both your parents, that have become part of your own
energy field and which you are tending to unconsciously live... Now,
by Divine Grace, Ascension or spiritual liberation and enlightenment
is being offered to all humanity, whereby ancestral karmas can now be
healed in a relatively short time by consciously releasing them. ...

Channeled through Wes Annac-

Dearest souls of one of the infinite realities that make up your
Earth sphere, we are the Hathors of Earth’s Solar Astral planes. We
watch over you all and your world at all times, convening with Gaia’s
High Councils and making sure that your ascension finds itself to you,
and you find your way to your ascension. We guide many of you on Earth
daily; though suffice to say many do not notice the help we are giving
them right off the bat. Many on your world tend to believe that
whatever pops into their head, must naturally come from their own
mind, when this simply is not true. You all exist in multiple
realities; in infinite planes of existence and, in many higher astral
planes of Earth many of you are in fact convening with us and taking
the guidance we offer. We Love you all so very much, and we wish you
to know that many of you, if you so wish, may in fact choose the
option to become one of us – to become an ascended Hathor and work on
Earth’s higher astral planes.

We know and understand what some of you may be thinking – ‘if Earth
is ascending back to Her pristine fifth dimensional condition, will
astral Hathors been needed?’ Our answer to this is an unequivocal yes.
You see, we exist outside of the confines of time, as do all ascended
souls. We are able, at this very point in our existence, to perceive
and be with not only your ascended Earth and all of her citizens, but
with the lower dimensional Earth as well. Many of you have heard that
once Earth passes into the fourth and fifth dimensions, 3d earth will
cease to be. We guide to you that this is only partially correct.
Every experience, every moment you all perceive is recorded in an
infinite and universal memory bank – what you may refer to as your
Akashic records. Many of you have in fact already ascended to the new
5d Earth, and made the conscious decision to come back to this 3d
Earth that you are currently experiencing, which resides on a
different timeline then the previous 3D Earth you had ascended from.
We hope we are making sense dear ones.

Many different 3D Earths exist in an infinite possibility of
timelines, and many of you have in fact come back to this current 3D
Earth that we are speaking to you on, in this current timeline. Some
of you may ascend from this 3d earth on this timeline, and choose
further to come back to a different, you could say a new 3d earth on
an entirely new timeline, that you will then help to ascend. Creation
is infinite, and this infinite creation on Earth is the creation we
guide, for all of you are truly infinite souls who can do whatever you
wish when it comes to what you may think is impossible.

As we stated above, many of you may choose to in fact ascend to our
level, which is that of 6th dimensionality. When and if you choose to
yourselves become Hathors, there will be many lessons for you to go
through to find yourselves at the level we reside in, and in fact some
of you are on the 3d Earth of this timeline to learn specific lessons
that will see you ‘graduated’ so to speak and able to fathom the level
of consciousness we are at, which would of course quality you for
whatever ‘position’ in our ‘ranks’ that you so desire. As others on
your world who have come into contact with us will know, we are very
advanced in using sound and healing to (y)our advantage. We reside
over many of the tones that you hear and experience on Earth, and we
have wished the majority on your world to know that even the most
basic tones that you perceive with your various earthly instruments,
are actually very important tones that, when listened to and anchored
for long amounts of your ‘time’ can be very beneficial to your body
and spirit complexes. Light, color and sound are and have always been
methods of healing, and the higher vibrations of the sound tones many
of you have grown used to can and will be very instrumental for your
growth and development.

We see many of you beginning to discover your true selves and your
astral bodies, and it warms our hearts. Many of you are truly
beginning to take back the awareness of who you really are and the
fact that you truly are infinite. This is a wonderful occurrence, and
on the many different 3d earth timelines, discovering yourselves, your
astral bodies and the astral planes were the very things that served
to truly bring your full awareness of the higher dimensions to you.
Helping you discover the astral realms in your own mind complexes is
something that we have been helping with. Oh dear souls, we so dearly
wish you could understand fully the role we have been playing in your
Lives. We dally convene with your Ascended Masters and the
extraterrestrial civilizations that are aiding in your ascension and
the purging of the dark from your world. We daily convene with all of
you, or should we say ‘nightly’ of your time whilst you are in the
sleep realms. Many of you have begun to open up telepathic contact
with beings whom you are unsure of their identity, and we wish you to
know that for many of you, we are those beings. We understand if you
may not yet wish to entertain such ideas, and in fact many of you are
receiving contact from numerous ascended beings, as the veil between
your world and the higher realms has reached its ultimate thin-point.

This is all we have to say for now, we wish you all to know that we
dearly Love you, and we have been watching after you and helping many
other civilizations of your universe to stop many heart-wrenching
events that were planned on your world. The extraterrestrials that are
in communication, telepathic or otherwise, with the many on your world
have spoken of how they have helped mitigate the scope of many
disasters that were planned, and we wish you to know that we did our
parts in helping this come about as well. Some on your world favor
using sound waves and tones for destructive purposes (such as HAARP)
and those happenings are where we step in and use our much more
superior sound tones of healing to reduce the severity of whatever it
is they have planned. Of course freewill of the souls involved must be
considered, but for the most part we are now able to intervene much
more directly in your affairs in this timeline than we had ever been
allowed.

Thank you to the Hathors of Earth’s Solar Astral Planes.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you for your beautiful and inspiring words. They are so very
comforting. I would love to aspire to become a Hathor.

We are so lucky and blessed to have your infinite support, its ideal.

Is the circular symbol/technology between the horns in your lovely
headpiece the same thing as the Hadron Collider?

Is that an energy communicator to the higher realms, or portal or
star gate?"

And perhaps

http://atlantium.org/

The Empire of Atlantium is a unique parallel sovereign state based in
New South Wales, Australia.

Atlantium recognises that the days of nation-states founded on fixed
geographical locations or majority ethnic identities are numbered, as
global mobility, cultural evolution, and the growth of electronic
communication networks render the assumptions that underlie and
provide justification for their existence increasingly obsolete.

In an age where people increasingly are unified by common interests
and purposes across - rather than within - traditional national
boundaries Atlantium offers an alternative to the discriminatory
historic practice of assigning nationality to individuals on the basis
of accidents of birth or circumstance.

Atlantium has a heritage that spans three decades. What began as a
local political statement by three Sydney teenagers on 3rd Decimus,
10500 (27th November, 1981) has since evolved into the world's
foremost non-territorial global sovereignty movement and state entity,
with a diverse, rapidly growing population living in some ninety
countries.

Atlantium is predicated on a belief in the inevitability and the
desirability of eventual global social, economic and political union,
and it operates as a secular, pluralistic, liberal, social democratic
republican monarchy.

We encourage the active participation of Citizens in the public life
of the Empire, and invite anyone with the desire and motivation to
forge their own destiny as a true citizen of the world to consider
joining us.

I'm just back from Katoomba where I saw Vernon Treweeke touching up
his artwork mural at Katoomba railway station which includes numerous
UFO's.

I even took his photo while he was working.

BTW: Vernon Treweeke appears to be a resident of Hazelbrook

The Visitors: Aliens and UFOs in Contemporary Art

Erik Jensen
December 11, 2007

"My sons were out at a place they call the Ruined Castle at
Faulconbridge, a derelict house out in a paddock. They saw what they
described as a huge mothership going over," Vernon Treweeke, an artist
participating in the Penrith show, says of his experiences.

"It went over and it was silent, they didn't hear anything until it
had passed. It must have been very high in the atmosphere. Obviously,
it might have been in space. Hard to tell. They described it as having
some sort of symbol underneath it, a large sort of hieroglyph type of
thing. It had portholes as well."

The curtains on Treweeke's house, in bushland at Hazelbrook, are
drawn. The entire building is blacked-out and he answers the door with
a pair of 3D glasses in his hand. Downstairs, in a basement-studio, he
activates a series of ultraviolet lights. With the glasses and the
fluorescent paint on his canvases, parts of the work start to morph.
Blues sink into the background and oranges reach forward.

"Prismatic Fresnels," he says, referring to the beam-splitting lenses
he wears. Treweeke works with colour perspective and the effects of
fluorescence, painting the reaches of his imagination in a process he
likens to Einstein's theoretical physics. A product of the space race,
and of London psychedelia in the 1960s, he believes art can push
reality in directions science is unable to explore.

"It is a return to a visionary awareness. Artists used to be
visionaries, they used to paint angels and gods. They had this
visionary role and then they became just like cameras with paint," he
says.

"We've been through a cycle. The movies have been doing it and people
are ready for it in art. The artists as visionaries can actually
explore the future and sort of report on it before it happens."

Does she see UFOs ? :-)

Here's Wikipedia for Verson Trewaeeke

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_Treweeke

Vernon Treweeke (born 1939) is an Australian psychedelic artist. He
has been termed the "father of psychedelic art in Australia". In the
late 1960s he was deemed to be "Australia's leading practitioner of
abstract eroticism."

He is married to Riri Treweeke and has five children, including his
sons Luke, born in 1967, whose mother is the Australian Artist Wendy
Paramor, Swift, born 1980, a musician, a fellow painter, and a label
owner, and Julian, also a musician, both of which he has been known to
collaborate with.

One of Vernone Treweeke's murals at Katoomba railway station, Blue
Mountains Line

(Blobb's note - this is the one with the UFOs ! )

His work is held in various Australian and international collections,
including the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery
of Victoria.

Treweeke grew up in Sydney, Australia. He attended boarding school at
Scots School in Bathurst where he became a close friend of Brett
Whiteley.

From 1957 to 1959 he studied painting, drawing and sculpture at the
Australian National Art School under John Passmore and Lyndon
Dadswell. In 1961 He travelled to London via India and France. Whilst
in London in 1962 he was included in the prestigious "Young
Commonwealth Artists" exhibition that toured Germany, France and
England. While in London he associated with many expatriate Australian
artists including Michael Johnson, Tony McGillick and Wendy Paramor,
and the English artists, David Hockney and Patrick Caulfield.

In 1966 Treweeke returned to Sydney via New York and San Francisco.
In the late 1960s Treweeke regularly showed his work at Central Street
Gallery in Sydney. His work of this time can be seen as developing a
prototype for methods of exhibition practice that have subsequently
become known as installation, multi-media and electronic art. A
typical Treweeke exhibition during the Central Street years included
silkscreen images on modular canvas panels coated in fluorescent
paint, a sound component and then the whole space would be saturated
in ultraviolet neon light.

By 1970 Treweeke had abandoned his increasingly high profile career
as an artist. His lifelong interest in beat culture; exotic religions
and alternative lifestyles eventually led him to the town of Nimbin.
In 1973 Treweeke was instrumental in organizing the Aquarius Festival.

He currently resides in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Today he
works for New South Wales State Rail.

He has painted murals on several of the stations on the Blue
Mountains railway line, which feature elements of local folklore.

In 2003 a major exhibition of his work, the first in 30 years, was
exhibited at Penrith Regional Gallery in Western Sydney.
In June 2010, an exhibition of his work will be exhibited at
CarriageWorks, centre for contemporary arts and culture, in Eveleigh,
Sydney.

APPI - Australia Paranormal Phenomenon Investigators recently had the
opportunity to investigate the sandstone remains which are all thats
left of what once was Eurama Cottage in Faulconbridge NSW.

Consumed by bush fire in 1968 after a yearlong renovation, leaving
the owner destitute and bankrupt. The land was originally purchased
by Sir Henry Parkes in 1876 with ownership passed on to Sir James
Martin, three times Premier of New South Wales; Sir Alfred Stephen,
GCMG, Lieutenant Governor of New South Wales and Chief Justice of New
South Wales for 27 years and; Charles Badham, Professor of Logic and
Classics at Sydney University. Original buildings on the estate were
Numantia, Metchley and Western House in 1877, followed by Alphington
in 1878 and finally Eurama in 1882.

Eurama was described as “a magnificent stone cottage” consisting of
“at least three bedrooms, a dressing room with a tower above it,
drawing room, dining room, two bathrooms, sewing room, storage rooms,
kitchen, bakery, cellar, dairy and many wooden outbuildings”. There
was “a beautiful bow window” at the end of the drawing room. The
interior walls were timber veneered to a height of three metres. The
ceilings of the living rooms were painted pale blue and decorated with
flowers and other designs. The front hall had a dark coloured dado and
tiled floor. The house was surrounded by verandahs with a large
underground well sealed with a concrete top

To the west of Eurama is Lady Martin’s Bath - a natural spring, which
was excavated to form a reservoir. The Bath was the site of a murder
in 1896 when Frank Butler persuaded twenty-year-old minerology
student, Arthur Preston, to go gold mining with him. Butler shot and
buried Preston in a hole near the Bath. To the east of Eurama is a
cave known as the Amphitheatre. In 1910 skeletal remains were found
bound by leg irons, presumably convicts who had attempted escape from
the road gangs of years gone by. In present times many whom have
visited the ruins have reported strange activity, sightings of shadows
and hearing voices. The current owner was only to happy to have this
investigated.

Our resident medium for the night was Andrea Kaldy Lightworker from
Validate, during her walkthrough she picked up on male arguments –
this could be from the previous owners having a disagreement about the
amount of money being spent on the renovations and it becoming a poor
investment. Andrea was taken on how many forest spirits were among us.
Walking through the castle, Peet noticed a shadow on the sandstone
wall, the team tried to replicate it then noticed that their actual
shadows were facing the opposite direction.

During the night we used the psychic board – a spirit named ‘Will’
visited and gave a warning to ‘go’ – at this time there was the sound
of a car door and laughing, drunken teenagers had arrived to party in
the castle. Peet made sure they moved on. Next there was a spirit who
kept going to earth, fire, air, water... and kept going to the water
signs of the zodiac, and we couldn't figure out what it was doing. It
was incredibly strong, the strongest I have ever seen. It was almost
like we didn't need to touch it. But we still couldn't understand. And
then it started doing weird things like starting at the outer edge of
the board, and going in a spiral to the centre. It did that a few
times, and then would go back to the elemental signs. We were very
confused, until Andrea suddenly said "OMG, I think we're talking to
elementals! Peet's been talking about wanting to speak to them all
day" and then it went straight to YES. We didn't really get any
messages from them, just a very strong presence who knew we were there
and wanted to acknowledge that. We felt very protected when they were
there…until the fire tipped over, almost for no reason. And as we were
cleaning up the spilled fire, some of the ash from the fire started
doing a mini tornado for about 15 seconds... so it was like the Fire
elemental and the Air elemental wanted to validate their presence in
another way, apart from the board.

This will not be APPIs last visit to Eurama Castle as there is much
more we would like to learn. Thanks to Andrea Kaldy Lightworker our
resident medium from Validate, Kristy Davidson our competition winner
and Topher Willis our cameraman extraordinaire for all your efforts on
the night.

History

Faulconbridge was named by local resident Henry Parkes, after his
mother, Martha Faulconbridge. Parkes rose from a poverty-stricken
childhood to become Prime Minister of the colony of New South Wales.

He is also known as the "Grand Old Man" of Australian politics, &
"Father of Federation". He was knighted to become Sir Henry.

Patron: Her Excellency, Professor M. R. Bashir AC,
Governor of New South Wales

2013 ORATION
The 11th Henry Parkes Oration was delivered by Ted Mack, in
Tenterfield on 26 October. Find out more.

Updated: October 2013

The Henry Parkes Foundation was set up in honour of Sir Henry Parkes
at the instigation of his descendants and others on the centenary of
his death. Its aim is to carry forward Parkes' work in maintaining
Australia as a just and open democratic society.

In particular, the Foundation aims to encourage Australians to find
out more about their country's political and constitutional history,
and about how they can participate as citizens.

The Foundation has been established as a charitable trust, with three
trustees under the direction of a Board of Advisers.

Donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible.

The Henry Parkes Foundation is a non-partisan, non-profit, charitable
trust. Although one of its aims is to encourage discussion and debate
about political issues of the day, the Foundation does not, as an
organisation, hold particular views on these issues.

Faulconbridge railway station and Post Office were established on
Henry Parkes' initiative. He also built walking tracks in the nearby
gullies. Other prominent early land owners included Sir James Martin,
Sir Alfred Stephen, & Dr Charles Badham.

Faulconbridge has one of two remaining public level crossings in the
Blue Mountains, and also a private one.

Timber was once an important part of the local economy. The remains
of a cable railway & sawmill can still be found in the bush.

World's Best Climate?

Faulconbridge is said to have the world's most equitable climate.
More info...

Today, Faulconbridge is a quiet residential area, a satellite village
of Springwood.

Points of interest are listed on a sign on the railway station
footbridge. They include the Prime Minister's Corridor of Oaks, where
every Prime Minister of Australia (or a family member) has the honour
of planting an oak tree, and, just across the road, Jackson Park with
it's children's playground and an large open area suitable for ball
games. From here, you can take a bushwalk down Sassafras Gully.

Henry Parkes' grave is just south of the station, & the lily pond can
be found between highway & railway just west of the station.

Norman Lindsay was an artist who gained notoriety for his paintings &
sculptures of naked women. He is also famous for his classic
children's book 'The Magic Pudding', & had a love of model ships.
Today, his home is operated as a museum & gallery, & is clearly
signposted from the highway. (Take Grose Rd, then Chapman Ave).

The Grose River may be reached via a fire trail which runs from the
end of Grose Rd to Faulconbridge Point lookout. It is closed to motor
vehicles. From the lookout, a path descends steeply into the gorge.

Commuting

Commuter carparks are located at Faulconbridge & Springwood stations.
The highway is now 4 lanes from the Woodford railway station to the M4
motorway, with widening underway at Linden. Faulconbridge's 60km/h
zone (on the highway) is a favourite for radar.

BLOBB thinks it useful at this point to mention Numantia which is
seemingly the name of some [ thing falls or whatnot ] in and around
that area....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numantia

Numantia (Numancia in Spanish) is the name of an ancient Celtiberian
settlement, whose remains are located 7 km north of the city of Soria,
on a hill known as Cerro de la Muela in the municipality of Garray.
Numantia is famous for its role in the Celtiberian Wars. In the year
153 BC Numantia experienced its first serious conflict with Rome.
After 20 years of hostilities, in the year 133 BC the Roman Senate
gave Scipio Aemilianus Africanus the task of destroying Numantia. He
laid siege to the city, erecting a nine kilometre fence supported by
towers, moats, impaling rods and so on. After 13 months of siege, the
Numantians decided to burn the city and die free rather than live and
be slaves.

Numantia was an Iron Age hill fort (in Roman terminology an
"oppidum"), which controlled a crossing of the river Duero.

Pliny the Elder counts it as a city of the Pelendones, but other
authors, like Strabo and Ptolemy place it among the Arevaci people.
The Arevaci were a Celtiberian tribe, formed by the mingling of
Iberians and migrating Celts in the 6th century BC, who inhabited an
area near Numantia and Uxama.

The first serious conflict with Rome occurred in 153 BC when Quintus
Fulvius Nobilior was consul. Numantia took in some fugitives from the
city of Segeda, who belonged to another Celtiberian tribe called the
Belli. The leader of the Belli, Carus of Segeda, managed to defeat a
Roman army. The Romans then besieged Numantia, and deployed a small
number of war elephants, but were unsuccessful.

Before their defeat in 133 BC, the Numantians gained a number of
victories. For example, in 137 BC, 20,000 Romans surrendered to the
Celtiberians of Numantia (population between 4,000-8,000).
