Journey Of A Soul Chat: 10-25-05
(01:29:59) (merri) ok today's soul journey takes us to the Mound Builders
(01:30:13) (Raleigh) oh yes ok merri
(01:30:18) (Lites) merri what is the Journey of the Soul cchat about?
(01:30:23) (Lites) omg
(01:30:31) (merri) The Mysterious Mound Builders
(01:30:32) (Lites) lololol
(01:30:42) (ky-mike) of witch there was quite a few in ohio
(01:30:43) (Lites) I was just reading about that haha
(01:30:46) (Raleigh) it varies lites / :)\
(01:31:08) (Raleigh) all round the world mike yup
(01:31:12) (merri) Among the many effigy mounds discovered in North America, none has surpassed in size or potent symbolism the Great Serpent Mound of Ohio.
(01:31:27) (ky-mike) yes been to som big 1,s in ohio
(01:31:30) (Lites) and the Atanteans /they did bad things huh?
(01:32:00) (Raleigh) well some yes lites / today we study merris mount builders
(01:32:15) (Lites) reminds me a lot of what is going on today ta da
(01:32:45) (merri) Discovered in 1848 it has stirred the minds and imaginations of millions ever since. Students of Amerindian culture, have pondered over this ancient puzzle in search of a logical explanation. It has closer ties to Egyptian, Hebrew or Gnostic tradition than to any known Indian legend. Even the plumed Serpent
(01:33:27) (merri) of the Aztecs, in Mexico, does not come close enough, in symbolic terms, to link it to this gigantic, writhing snake that stretches in a series of whiplike curves along a creek embankment for almost a quarter of a mile.
(01:34:01) (Lites) the lesson being do not do your business without putting god first
(01:34:10) (merri) .Clasped in its open jaws is an oblate sphere reminiscent of the Egg of Seb, from whence the world issued forth., in Egyptian mythology. In Hebrew literature, the serpent has been an ambivalent symbol of wisdom, from the days of Adam and Moses, whereas to the Alexandrian mystics and the
(01:34:54) (merri) Gnostics, it became the emblem of the Christos, the Logos. And it was out of the body of the Christos, through the spoken Word, that the visible universe came into being.
(01:35:07) (Lites) merri the Queen was given this as a gift on her last birthday I wondered what the imagery of it meant ty
(01:36:38) (merri) Another factor contributing to the special mystery surrounding the Great Serpent Mound has been the absence of any artifacts. At most other mounds, a rich yield of burial objects or other relics has made it possible to determine the approximate date of their construction. The mounds of the Aden culture,
(01:37:06) (Lites) she grimaced when she saw it . It was given to her by the children of England
(01:37:16) (merri) which are among the most famous appear to date from 1,000B.C. to A.D.500 or thereabouts, while the equally famed mounds from the Hopewell culture probably got a somewhat later start, outlasting the Adenas by a small margin.
(01:38:13) (Lites) Aden =Adam
(01:38:16) (merri) In certain of their physical characteristics, the Adena and Hopewell peoples not only differed markedly from the Indian tribes already inhabiting North America at the time of their arrival, but differed from each other. The Adena type were unusually tall, with the men often approaching seven feet, and the skeletons large throughout. Equally distinctive were their skulls, which were
(01:38:29) (Raleigh) why would this mount in ohio be special gee
(01:39:10) (Lites) source of evil?
(01:39:13) (ky-mike) i was ther ral
(01:39:24) (Lites) there ya go lol
(01:39:31) (ron) i doubt it
(01:39:34) (Raleigh) i probly drove right past it
(01:39:48) (merri) large and round, with a prominent forehead, heavy brow ridges and a jutting chin. They must have been quite majestic to gaze upon. As for the Hopewells, who rivaled and even surpassed them in certain artistic and
(01:40:27) (merri) creative respects, we are told that they had the agile bodies and narrow-headed skulls more typical of the existing Indian population of the eastern woodlands; yet there was a distinguishing hauteur and mystique about them, adorned as they were with copper and pearls, which set them apart from their more savage brethren who had preceded them in those parts.
(01:40:34) (Lites) they even look mean
(01:40:41) (Raleigh) ok
(01:41:09) (Raleigh) hey lites did you know that these chats are hard for merri to prepare
(01:41:17) (Lites) hahahaha
(01:41:23) (Raleigh) ill seee the class recorded merii
(01:41:24) (Raleigh) ty
(01:41:28) (Raleigh) :)
(01:41:31) (Lites) if the shoe fits wear it
(01:41:41) (merri) Yet another group of mound builders believed by some to have arrived much later on the scene from Mexico, are identified as the Mississippians. Not so distinctive as either the Hopewells or the Adenas, they nevertheless built their temple mounds on a grand scale, in probable imitation of the Aztecs. But like all of the mound builders, whether construction effigy mounds, burial mounds or the later temple variety, the substituted earth for stone.
(01:42:55) (merri) All the mound builders exhibited an exquisite appreciation of geometric form. The layout of their mound complexes, and the variations in the construction of the mounds themselves, display a keen devotion to form, ritual and a diverse symbolism. Yet, with the probable exception of the Mississippians, we are left with two unanswered questions: Where did they come from? And what
(01:43:46) (merri) caused their demise? As to the Mississippians, the coming of the white man probably led them to abandon their temple complexes and adjoining farms. We can surmise that they were readily absorbed into existing tribal populations. But both the Adena and Hopewell peoples appear to have dropped out of sight far ahead of the white man’s arrival.
(01:44:47) (merri) The tall, powerfully built Adena population, with their large, round skulls, seem to have been totally obliterated, whether by plague or warfare. They have left no genetic traces. As for the Hopewells who had ceased to build their ceremonial centers by A.D.550 or earlier, they too may have been victims to disease or tribal warfare, with any remnant population being absorbed into humbler tribes. One clue pointing to the ‘warfare’ theory is an earthen-walled, a
(01:46:00) (merri) above the Little Miami River in Warren County, Ohio. A few burial mounds inside the fort attest to casualties from skirmishes. Meanwhile, evidence that unrest of some kind was afoot at this time throughout eastern North American Indian tribes is seen in the stockades that began to appear for the first time, encircling many villages in more northerly areas.
(01:46:05) (Lites) ya think they carried the memory of obliteration with them into this life? I do
(01:46:38) (alias_) cayce said that jews came b.c, times mainly to new mexico arizona area and ohio valley area
(01:47:17) (merri) The peopling of the Americas was in a southeasterly flow that had its origins in Siberia 11,500 years ago. This migratory movement was supposedly a result of the melting of the great Wisconsin glaciation, which made the North
(01:47:51) (merri) American continent habitable to roving bands of Mongolian hunters. Within another millennium, the migratory wave had swept through all of Central and South America, as well.
(01:48:01) (Lites) obseesion with keeping the race pure is a hindrance to evolution
(01:48:05) (alias_) the cayce site has some articles on how dna stuff shows varations amond the native americans
(01:48:40) (merri) Pointing to the vast expanses of ocean to east and west of the Americas, which are believed to have posed an insurmountable barrier to any prehistoric navigators, the experts argue with imperturbable logic and finality that a land-route across Beringia (their name for the Siberia-Alaska link, which was then presumably walkable) was the only plausible entry-point to the previously uninhabited lands.
(01:48:45) (alias_) it might depend lites at what point of time it is ... some think it was best to keep the cain line separate from the seth line
(01:49:30) (Lites) when all comes from God separation is not right
(01:49:38) (alias_) and after the bablyonian captivity, the jews were told not to intermarry with pagans
(01:49:43) (merri) Referring to a period 3,000 years B.C. when the Atlantean descendants of Iltar, in Yucatan, gradually lost in their activities, we learn of the introduction of “the Baal or Baalilal” influences among the people of the Maya civilization. This was brought about by an infusion of “those peoples that were of the lost tribes,” coming first “among the peoples from Mu in the southernmost portion of that called America or United States,” and then moving on to
(01:50:22) (alias_) some of the problems of mixing lines tho for sure between animals and humans as happened in atlantis where there were mixtures such as centaurs
(01:50:46) (merri) Yucatan, settling also in what is now Mexico City, where they centered their acivities eventually giving rise to the later Aztec civilization. Meanwhile it is stated of their entry into Yucatan, that it brought about a “different civilization , a mixture again.” As a result, Iltar”s descendants migrated into North America, where they “came to be that people termed…the mound builder.”
(01:50:52) (Lites) how dumb is that
(01:51:53) (merri) Asked how the children of the “lost tribes,” who were believed to be Canaanites fleeing from Persian domination, reached the shores of America, Cayce answered: “In boats.”
(01:52:50) (merri) ok that is the material today on the mound builders
(01:53:11) (ky-mike) great class merri ... thanks
(01:53:23) (diane) ty merri
(01:53:30) (ron) amazing how the various peoples mentioned in the Bible and the Cayce readings end up on this unknowned continent
(01:53:35) (ky-mike) we r learning
(01:53:41) (WalksInSpirit) Thanks Merri! Great study, as usual!
(01:53:45) (merri) will have some more next week hopefully
(01:53:59) (ky-mike) ty merri
(01:54:08) (ron) very good merri...with appreciation
(01:54:40) (merri) well ron, everywhere we read is the saying " we are all connected"
(01:54:53) (merri) guess we are!
(01:55:07) (alias_) and some are more equal than others :()
(01:55:15) (alias_) from animal farm :)
(01:55:18) (WalksInSpirit) Yep, Merri! Mitakuye Oyasin. :-)
(01:55:25) (ky-mike) mita kaye o yasi
(01:55:30) (diane) always interesting to trace those connections
(01:55:39) (ky-mike) ty wis , we in sink

(01:56:05) (merri) how
(01:56:06) (diane) sure does
(01:56:25) (ky-mike) the evaloution of the soul
(01:56:36) (alias_) or some are more connected than others
(01:57:03) (merri) we are all at different levels alias
(01:57:11) (alias_) fullest connection is being fully attuned to the whole
(01:57:52) (merri) a goal to attain
(01:57:55) (alias_) i think as search for god suggests one fully and properly considers the needs of others before one's own as most perectly illustrated in jesus
(01:58:18) (alias_) oops when one fully and...
(01:58:43) (alias_) to mature in the word :)

(02:01:41) (WalksInSpirit) Nope, Merri. But I've been to Cahokia Mounds. And several more in the southeast.
(02:01:44) (alias_) and some way their language some claim is related to the atlantean language
(02:02:48) (alias_) i heard someone speak about how around some of the mounds are supposed to be things relating to atlantis
(02:03:04) (diane) was the purpose of the mounds mentioned?
(02:03:17) (WalksInSpirit) The ones at Cahokia are. The others I've seen in the southeast vary in size.
(02:03:40) (alias_) diane who was your question directed to
(02:03:51) (alias_) or better to whom was ... :)
(02:03:57) (merri) the book said some were burial mounds, some ritual and some temple

(02:15:36) (WalksInSpirit) Where I worked, the smaller mounds were in "clusters."
(02:16:05) (Aky-mike) i was there to . over 20 yrs ago
(02:16:29) (WalksInSpirit) Which would indicate that they are burial mounds.
(02:16:38) (Aky-mike) was up ther at the 7 caves to

(01:56:36) (alias_) or some are more connected than others
(01:57:03) (merri) we are all at different levels alias
(01:57:11) (alias_) fullest connection is being fully attuned to the whole
(01:57:52) (merri) a goal to attain
(01:57:55) (alias_) i think as search for god suggests one fully and properly considers the needs of others before one's own as most perectly illustrated in jesus

(02:01:41) (WalksInSpirit) Nope, Merri. But I've been to Cahokia Mounds. And several more in the southeast.
(02:01:44) (alias_) and some way their language some claim is related to the atlantean language
(02:02:48) (alias_) i heard someone speak about how around some of the mounds are supposed to be things relating to atlantis
(02:03:04) (diane) was the purpose of the mounds mentioned?
(02:03:17) (WalksInSpirit) The ones at Cahokia are. The others I've seen in the southeast vary in size.
(02:03:40) (alias_) diane who was your question directed to
(02:03:51) (alias_) or better to whom was ... :)

(02:04:55) (WalksInSpirit) There was a huge ceremonial mound next to the museum I used to work at.
(02:05:46) (merri) would the smaller ones be burial mounds WIS?
(02:05:57) (diane) are these mounds like gigantic in size?

(02:07:40) (WalksInSpirit) The one that was next to the museum where I worked had a long row of steps going up the side... looked a lot like those pictures of Aztec Temples.

(02:08:28) (merri) what did he say Roz
(02:09:06) (Roz) its been a long tim e ago and I've slept since then

(02:14:50) (merri) can you tell us anymore about the mounds WIS
(02:14:59) (Aky-mike) the cherokee use to own most of ky ... but sold it ata place called siamore shoals
(02:15:18) (Aky-mike) sicamore ... that is
(02:15:19) (merri) the ones you've seen
(02:15:36) (WalksInSpirit) Where I worked, the smaller mounds were in "clusters."
(02:16:05) (Aky-mike) i was there to . over 20 yrs ago
(02:16:29) (WalksInSpirit) Which would indicate that they are burial mounds.

(02:18:25) (merri) that must have been interesting
(02:19:02) (Aky-mike) wis ... hav u seen it
(02:20:17) (merri) It seems no matter where the ATlantean's have migrated to they leave us clues behind
(02:20:54) (WalksInSpirit) I haven't seen that drama, Mike, but I have seen "Unto These Hills" at Cherokee, NC.

(02:22:32) (ky-mike) made the movie there
(02:22:47) (WalksInSpirit) It tells the story of the Cherokee People. It begins way back before the white man's arrival. And it goes through the Trail Of Tears, to the present.
