Did you ever mail the package?

Did you get my response e-mail?

As for the paper...I haven't been able to find it. And not just it. I haven't been able to find ANY of my archaeological research papers. This is horrible. There are some papers in there that I need. There is one on the reasons behind the loss of decoration on Lapita pottery that is actually important. Here's the scoop...I had these and quite a few other research papers and documents in a big Five Star zipper notebook. I actually saw the papers themselves just two or three months ago because I was looking up a resource on the Lapita thing. I noticed the polar shift-evolution connection paper while I was looking through that stuff. About a month ago I noticed the notebook under my bed (along with one lost house slipper, some empty water bottles, a ton of yoga magazines, a Captain Picard shirt that soemone brought me from a Star Trek convention in the late 80's, three old candy bar wrappers, and a large population of dust bunnies). I thought to myself...gee, that is just dumb, keeping such important stuff under the bed like that. I should put it away where it will be safe and I can access it when I need it. So I did that and now it is gone. I have absolutely no clue where I put it. Now, this is way beyond just wanting to share a paper with you. It has become something of an obsession. I REALLY NEED to find that notebook. I have looked everywhere...four times. I am pretty sure that either A) someone came into our house when we were all gone and took only my notebook full of research, or, B) it was beamed up by aliens (probably looking for archaeological evidence that Captain Picard really did exist).

So I don't know, I just don't know. It HAS to be in this house somewhere. As soon as I saw this post today, it put me into two hours of search. My Cappy man didn't even put down his book. "Looking for the notebook again?" Me: "IT HAS TO BE HERE. IT HAS TO!" Him: "I keep teling you it will show up if you quit looking for long enough...hey are those some of my comics among those yoga mags?"

Of course, I thought of e-mailing you right away to say that I haven't been able to find it, but every time I started to do so, I would think...hmmmm, maybe it is in such-and-such place...and another round of digging stuff out of the bottoms of closets would begin. Sure, I know in my heart that I wouldn't have packed the notebook in a box in the bottom of my teenage stepson's closet, but it can't just have disapperated.

Anyway, WHEN, not if, I do find it, I'll let you know and send off a copy. Its driving me kind of crazy, so I know eventually it will come to me.

Best of luck. Fishkitten, I have a couple of questions for you...

First of all, would would they not design their pottery? That seems interesting.

Second, you mention "polar shift-evolution", have you heard of "Earth crust displacement"? I'm sure you have, but what do you think? Are the public ideas biased, or do you think it could be true? Are you also refering to magnetic poles? If not, what is the evolution you speak of referring to?

I find it funny that you use the words "digging" to look for archeological stuff - as in, your "archeological stuff" is archeological. Once a digger, always a digger hey?

The polar shift thing is magnetic polar shift. I did some preliminary research a few years ago about the connection between magnetic polar shift and human evolution. I am going to send the preliminary paper to Proxieme when I find it. I will try the mantra you suggested. It should work, unless those papers are hiding for some reason that isn't yet clear to me. As far as the crust displacement thing...do you mean the theory that the Earth's crust can slip around on the liquid beneath it sort of like a loose skin on an orange? That seems unlikely to me, but I am always willing to look at anything with an open mind. We do know for sure about the magentic shifts because there is hard evidence left in certain rocks and minerals. From what we know right now about tectonic plate movements, subduction zones, etc, it looks like all land was once one huge continent (often refered to as Pangaea) and has diverged in a measurable and predictable way since its breakup near the end of the Mesozoic Era. People used to think that the Earth's wobble meant it would, at some point, upend itself, or that it had before. About four years ago or so, some scientists figured out what causes the wobble and the liklihood of complete, physcial polar reversal became ever more slim. You sound interested in the subject. Have you looked into it much?

The Lapita pottery...Lapita is the name given to pottery made by the first people to settle Polynesia. They sailed the Pacific for many generations, settling islands and archipeligos as they went. They are the ones who first settled in Fiji, Tonga, Tahiti, Hawaii, Easter Island, New Zealand, and many other such places. When they were first travelling and settling, they made distinctive pottery with very unique and recognisable patterns and designs. Then, almost simultaneously across large areas, they stopped making the designs. They made plainware pottery for a while, then many places stopped pottery making all together. Naturally, that opens up lots of questions. Quite fascinating when you get into it.

I read about the Earth displacement theory in Fingerprints of the Gods. It scares me. But I thought it seemed to explain why polens and trees were found on the North pole and Antartica. It finally suggests that Antartica is actually Atlantis - it was at a higher altitude before the last displacement about 15000 years ago. It also explains why Mammoths in Siberia had undigested polens in their mouths - they seemed to freeze instantly - Siberia moved from a warm to freezing climate quickly. Also, the receeding ice over USA. Also why the Ice age left so quickly - apparantly the displacements could be caused by the caps having too much wight. The, as you say, its like the skin of an orange moveing over the core.

Scary stuff.

Yes, I've heard about the magnetic polar shifts from "Mayan Prophecy" which talked about how the sun's solar sunspot cycles affected civilisation on Earth, and of course, how the Mayans knew this and what their predictions mean.

I stopped reading these books because they're a little scary

I'm sorry.
I know it's not funny, I really do, I've just so been there before.
"What? What is this doing here?
What a silly, silly place for it - I'll have to put it someplace where I'll be sure to find it when I need it, some place safe."
Jump to a little bit later, whenever I need the object in question, and I'm tearing through the house in a mad, exhausting search to find it, most likely in the process getting it more lost than it was in the first place

Your husband's right - stop looking for 'em, and they're sure to turn up sooner rather than later.
I lost my box of astrology books over the course of our moves this year (not as important as your papers, but I wanted to find them). I unpacked and repacked every excess box that we have (more stuff than storage...Jase's a bit of a packrat), including all of our plastic storage bins, to no avail. About a month after I gave them up for gone, I was tackling some clutter in our office when...there it was. Just there. A box full of books right in front of me.
To get even more pathetic, I couldn't find the Big Dipper a few nights back. I know it to be near the Little, but it just wouldn't show. Even going on-line and looking-up a star chart did no good - once back outside, it re-disappeared to my eye.
Then, when returning from getting something from my car last night, I looked up and said, "Oh, the Big Dipper."
It was there, clear as anything, just waiting for me to stop looking. Either that or it just reapparated. Darn tricky stars.

Come to think of it, I wouldn't discount the whole what-had-been-under-the-bed alien abduction theory. Captain Picard is a good looking bald man, and I've never seen a depiction of an alien with hair - they may be searching for a suitable emmissary to earth, or even a new earth-leader. One never does know.
Your poor reports could be just so much collateral damage in a well-intentioned alien action.

That is to say that I completely understand and appreciate on several levels all efforts made to find your paper stash.

Here's sending good "finding stuff" vibes on loan from my sister (a Virgo Sun/Scorp Moon chick; besides never loosing anything, she's a walking rolodex) - I hope you don't mind that they're someone else's...I've precious few of my own.

I lost some important papers that I need too. Been not-looking for months now.. but 'it' can't be fooled, 'it' knows I am actually looking, under the guise of not looking.
'It' knows everything.

Oh, that reminds me... I emailed my son's father a line ( directed at his sheer perfection , ) and I thought it was great! I wonder if I heard it somewhere, or made it up? Or some combination.

Pix - I heard the greatest insult the other day..."If stupid were a super power, they'd be fitting you for tights and a cape right now." You are so right about "it". "It" knows when you are secretly still looking. "It" cannot be fooled, even if you try to sneak up on "it" by pretending to clean. ("It" knows you never really clean in those places.)

I was also wondering, a while back I asked if you could check out December 23, 2012 as several authors seem to mention this date. Did you ever get around to it, or is it possible that things could change quite rapidly before that date as to make what you'd see void?

Carbon dating is only good to about 50,000 years before present. When you see dates reported for earlier than that, they have been determined in some other way. Right now, ice cores and lake sediment cores are being used to find out climatalogical information from long times ago. There just doesn't seem to be real evidence for crust displacement. It makes a good story, though. I read a book about it years ago and it freaked me out a little. That is one reason I checked into it so thoroughly. To be honest, I think once the initial evidence began to appear that magnetic polar shift had been happening on a fairly regular basis throughout the history of the Earth, many scientists thought initially that it could have meant the whole planet capsized. It has only been in the pst 10 years or so that we have developed the technology to figure out what really happened.

If its a magenetic field reversal, satellitew may fail to operate. Birds would not find their way back home, etc...

According to Yeshua, in the New Age, man on earth will become like angels (no need for marriage, etc..etc....)

According to a enlightenend one I know of he says man would be so enlightened that when its hot they will say "I am hot" and a cloud would come and cover the sun

Wonder if heaven and hell is here indeed. If not what a waste of this massive planet which we call earth

What I do not know is the time for completion. According to one of the pope (I think it was 15th century or was it 9th) he said after this pope dies. There will be 2 more and thats it. Does it mean it will be another 40-50 or more years and not, 8 years.
Unless one more pope dies in within these 8 years.

Well was my 2 cents. And like always, I am prepared for whatever challenges I need to face before my end time.

Check out this thread: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001196.html - on dimensional stuff. What do you think?

I personally think that scientists have maybe done enough. I mean, we've learnt a lot about how time is an illusion and relativity and all that, that if we were to use this knowledge (as you seem to) that we could really do anything. Science is becoming so specialised. I agree that it might come around in through the esoterics in the future (like that guy with plants Linda talked about).
