THE PYRAMIDS -- HOW THEY WERE BUILT
Ed Conrad
SEPARATING TRUTH FROM UTTER BULLSHIT
<
Dave Fellin was one of two miners entombed for 14 days inside an
anthracite mine near the village of Sheppton, Pa., in August 1963
until he and Hank Throne were miraculously rescued by being pulled to
the surface through a borehole.
<
Only in the final years of his life did Mr. Fellin, who died at age
84, reveal that he had countless out-of-body experiences while he and
Throne were without any contact whatsoever with the outside world for
five days and were simply waiting to die.
<
During some of these experiences, Mr. Fellin revealed he had been
taken back in time to witness the actual occurrence of pertinent
historical events in the earth's history.
<
In one of these out-of-body experiences, Mr. Fellin testified that he
actually had witnessed the pyramids being constructed.
<
Mr. Fellin's signed affidavit about his visit to the construction site
of the pyramids appears below.
<
Meanwhile, it should also be noted that Mr. Fellin had taken two
different polygraph tests about his out-of-body experiences, and the
certified polygraphist who administered them stated there was no sign
of deception.
<
In addition to the polygraphs, Mr. Fellin also testified -- with his
right hand on the Bible -- that every word he had revealed about his
numerous out-of-body experiences was true.
<
Even better than that, he stated: "If I have told even one lie about
what I experienced during my out-ofbody
experiences, may my father, whom I greatly loved, burn forever in
hell."

To Whom It May Concern:
<
I, David S. Fellin, being of sound mind despite my 81 years of age,
hereby attest that what is written here is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
<
During one of my countless out-of-body experiences -- this particular
one occurring while Hank Throne and I were waiting for death to take
us while entombed in an anthracite mne back in August 1963 -- I was
sent back in time to the period of the construction of the pyramids.
<
The scene was nothing as it is today in the vicinity of Egypt where
the pyramids now stand. That is, it was not a desert. It was covered
with vegetation and I even saw trees which had trunks more than three-
feet thick.
<
The blocks for the pyramids were not hauled from any distance,
whatsoever. I saw men had constructed a mold -- a pattern -- in the
place where the next block was to go, then carry buckets of sand-like
material to the mold and dump it inside the mold.
<
Each bucket contained either grains of sulphur, grains of iron or a
mixture of both.
<
(He also mentioned that some of the Egyptian-looking men were carrying
buckets of what appeared to be water and were pouring in into the mold
to mix with the "sand."
Approximately 20 men were working on the construction fo one
particular block -- but a number of blocks were being made at various
intervals (ast the same time).
<
Of these 20 or so men, all except one looked Egyptian
-- that is, resembled the people of ancient Egypt whose pictues we see
in books.
<
But the other man looked somewhat different than the others and he was
the person who was supervising the construction of a particular block.
<
This person carried no weapon -- no whip or anything like that -- and
there appeared to be a rather cheerful atmosphere among all of the
workers. In fact, the person who was supervising the operation could
also be seen to pitch in and do some of the work.
The person who looked different than the others and undoubtedly was
the boss of the crew was not of the earth but was an extraterrestrial.
<
The purpose of the construction of the pyramdis, based on what I had
observed, was two-fold. First, it was to serve as a calendar regarding
the planting and harvesting seasons. Second, it was to serve as a
guideline on earth so it could be viewed a great distance from earth.
<
I swear on the Holy Bible that what is written here is the truth and
there is not one word of fabrication.
<
(Signed)

===================
<
Note: Mr. Fellin later described the extraterrestrial as being human
-- "`exactly like us" -- but physically larger than the Egyptians. He
described him as being Caucasian with an extremely dark tan.

http://www.malaysian-ghost-research.org/scientific-evidence/proof-of-
life-after-death.html
These two guys were trapped in a coal mine for two weeks in August,
1963, and were in an utterly black, soundless, sensory deprived state
much of the time. Unsurprisingly, they both hallucinated. However, they
denied that what they had seen were hallucinations. Both claimed
afterwards to have seen the same things at the same times. Of course, if
that really happened, then what they saw would have to actually exist
outside of their minds.
For example:
(1) Both claimed to have seen Pope John, who was dead at the time. The
implication: ghosts actually exist in the physical world, outside of the
minds of those who think they perceive them. That would mean that we do
not need our bodies to store our memories, to think, to move about, and
to act in the real world. Thought, by this notion, can take place
without a change taking place in the brain, and we do not need our
bodies to do things. I could, for example, punch you in the face without
moving my arm.
(2) Both claimed to have witnessed pyramid construction in ancient
Egypt. If true, that would mean the past still exists. I, for example,
just took a sip from a cup of coffee, a cup which, a few minutes ago, I
filled up after walking to my kitchen. But right now I am sitting in my
chair in front of my computer, not standing in my kitchen filling up my
coffee cup. Only the present exists. The past and the future are
constructs that exist only in the mind.
Clearly, if we accept these two men's stories at face value, we must
endorse nonsense. Hence it is reasonable to cast about for a more
defensible explanation.
The article below, between the lines of asterisks, provides a basis for
such an explanation.
*********************************
Does the Brain Need Stimulation?
When: 1953
Scientific Question: What happens if you remove the stimulation of the
outside world?
Hypothesis:
Many scientists wondered what would happen if a person were cut off from
all sensory stimulation and from interactions with the world outside.
Scientists influenced by the "behaviorist" school, thought of the brain
as an organ that reacts to stimuli. They predicted that if all outside
stimuli were cut off, the brain would cease its activity resulting in a
condition resembling coma, or dreamless sleep.
An alternate hypothesis was that in a state of profound isolation from
stimuli and interaction with the world, the brain would continue
operating and generating experiences.
Dr. John Lilly tested these hypotheses with experiments he set up at the
National Institutes of Mental Health Lab in the Virgin Islands. He
limited stimulation to the minimum possible level while removing sources
of discomfort and stress. His "isolation" tank design approached this
ideal as closely as possible and the experiment was up and running by
the end of 1954.
The First Isolation Tank Work
In the isolation tank, Dr. Lilly found that he could relax his mind and
dream, but his consciousness was always there, ready to take charge. He
could choose to relax and let things happen, in which case the images
would free-associate, moving as if randomly from one to the next. Or he
could choose to program what would happen, in a process similar to lucid
dreaming, but with an even greater degree of control. He could invent a
scenario ahead of time with his consciousness fully focused, and then
relax and let his brain carry out the program.
The Principal Discovery
The important discovery was, "So within yourself you do have at least
the circuitry to exert control over these systems. You can create a
sense of well-being, or you can create a sense of fear out of the
operation of your own bio-computer. That's the most important message we
have in regard to self meta-programming. I saw that in the tank."
"Somewhere, deep within the brain, was a mechanism capable of generating
internal experiences completely independent of the outside world, and
this settled the issue of what happens in profound physical isolation.
The mind does not pass into unconsciousness, the brain does not shut
down. Instead, it constructs experience out of stored impressions and
memories. The isolated mind becomes highly active and creative. This was
the principal discovery that Dr. Lilly reported in his first three
scientific papers on the isolation tank research, published in 1956,
1957, and 1958."

*********************************
Note that the events described by the two men trapped in the coal mine
were centered around historical events and personalities. There was a
meeting with the Pope, a visit to ancient Egypt, and a trip with
Christopher Columbus. There was, however, no mention of encounters, or
visits, or trips that were simply ordinary--which means: with no
connection to historical personages or events. The clear implication:
these accounts were constructed out of memories and impressions stored
in the minds of the two people involved.
How, then, were the impressions melded together, so that the two men
thought they had seen the same things? The answer: by conversation. What
else would they have done, during weeks trapped in blackness, if not
discuss what they thought they were seeing? And how is the memory of one
man's description of a hallucination not going to provide fodder for a
subsequent hallucination by the other? How is such a description any
different, in its capacity to influence the direction of a sensory
deprived person's thought, than the accounts he read in history books,
or the events he observed on the nightly news?
The answer, of course, is that it isn't different. Given the conditions
of sensory deprivation which the two men experienced for weeks, it is
entirely to be expected, based on the results of psychological
experiments, that they would come out of the mine telling tales of the
sort which, in fact, they did tell.
