AlephTalks Mysticism: Where Science, Art and Spirituality Meet

It is clear that the notions of spirituality and mysticism go back millenia.  One example are the ruins what appears to be a spiritual temple or meeting place (not a village or city) called Gobekle Tepi, which appear to be perhaps twelve thousand years old; to put this in perspective, if we look at the time span from when Gobekle Tepi was built until the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt was built, that duration of time is greater than the time span from the construction of the Great Pyramid until today.

The Hopi Indians speak of humanity having lived through three ages, and we are now in the fourth age, which in its end will perish due to fire.

A different example is the story of Gilgamesh, which describes how humanity did evil and was destroyed in a flood; this is independent of the story in Genesis in the Torah or Old Testament; some count over two hundred fifty instances in different cultures that describe a flood that wiped out humanity.

Over the millenia there are stories of fairies, leprechauns, sorcerers, witches and on and on that appear and disappear and can impact human affairs or not.  Book Three of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describe powers that can be attained through deep meditation, permitting levitation, walking through walls, and disappearing. Jesus of Nazareth was apparently able to flee the Temple when the crowd turned against him by becoming invisible.

In more modern times, we come across stories of pyramids.   Among the oldest pyramids are those in Roumania, in the Bucegi mountain range which is part of the Balkan mountains.  A recent series of books by Radu Cinamar and Peter Moon has dealt with these  pyramids and a global tunnel system that can be entered there.

Michael Salla has spent decades researching the prehistory of humanity, so that we may learn from the past how to deal with the present and the future.  He has published a number of books, and has two videos on the prehistory of humanity (Part I and Part II).

Miriam Delicado was recently interviewed by Michael Salla about her book Blue Star: Fulfilling the Prophecy about the four ages the Hopi Native American tribes described.

Dolores Cannon spent decades doing hypnotic regression of thousands of individuals taking them back into memories of past lives, and has uncovered a fabric of prehistory that many find very compelling; because multiple individuals independently and without knowing one another confirm different aspects of this story, it cannot be immediately dismissed.  This has led her to discerning twelve stages of spiritual awakening as well as other aspects.

The Book of Urantia deals with the Book of Revelations and is summarized in a video.
