Inexhaustible energy continued

Finding that some editing has occurred, I do not want anyone to think that this testimony is anything but what it is, an experience.At any rate, getting a glimpse of the tunics worn by all the men without armor or helmet, and seeing the blonde (very light, lemony blonde curly hair, and bronze-toned arms and legs, and high cheekbones and sunburnt complexion of Alexander) and the massive arms and legs of the Macedonian army, I felt compelled to share this information with you on this day, Feb. 11, my birthday.I have been informed that Neil Armstrong's landing on the moon is contrived to coincide with Alexander's birthday, July 20.

It is understandable to receive vivid accounts of imagery in visions and dreams, and feel surges of inspirations as you have experienced and shared here at the site. This site is for information and corroboration! As one draws closer to the object of one's passion, he/she inevitably transfigures into the prototype/archetype of the object, in this case for you, ATG. Alexander did...he believed himself to be Herakles+Achilles, and also "...wherever I fight I shall believe myself to be playing to the theatre of the world."(Curtius, IX,vi,xxi). Among his quotes, that one *shudders* me .Cheers,
Thalestris, The Amazon Queen who pursued ATG

Thanks, I appreciate that. I wondered at what kind of response this kind of stimulus would elicit.When I first ventured into that area of one's ability to penetrate time to see if I could learn anything of Alexander, I could only see the following things: first, his plate of armor, second, a scene where he is suckling on the breast of a woman while in a kneeling position, and the next two scenes were also of passionate kissing scenes between him and a woman. Four kissing scenes total and all with women, presumably, possibly his four wives. I was able to see his image (face) with one eye dark and the other eye light, and otherwise, until this spontaneous dream occurred, I had not been able to get into his person, flesh, or skin, whatever, and I promised never to lay claim to him until I could be inside his skin so to speak.Arthur Weigall's book impacted me so much that I felt as though I had had a script for my own life laid out before me as it was written and published in 1933. I was born in 1939. While reading it, at one point, being exasperated with some of his behaviour, I thought well, if he is really like me, he will have to do such and such an act, and sure enough, finally, he did, so I thought well, at least, we are consistent.alexander's impact on me in the dream which I had just had is his vital energy which surged through me. He is a dynamo, a regular real source of strength and power so that in my opinion any fantasies that he had no idea of his own strength and power is utter nonsense. He is incredibly well endowed and has positive belief in who he is, and what he has to do. His trip to the deserts to learn the advice of the oracles was only confirmation of his mother's stories, as he already had had enough proof positive of his own power and might. To misunderstand that is sheer lack of realization of the person and the man.I gained strength from my experience, enough to get me moving again. As I am twice his age when he died, I wonder at why it has taken me so long to learn of his find at the Delphi Oracle. Know Thyself. I liked Manfredi's interpretation of that.Thanks for your kind and considered response to my living testimony, for what it is worth.

Child of a dream:I enjoyed reading Manfredi's book as it is without gore and excessive violence, making it suitable for an adolescent in today's world.Primarily, this book gives the foundation to Alexander's childhood, placing the emphasis upon the importance and impact of Philip, the Greatest King that Macedonia has known to date.I was very impressed with the characters of Aritstotle and Demosthenes as Manfredi recreates his impression of these important catalysts in the life of the young prince. Aristotle stood out for me in his dissection of the boar and his treatment of the investigation of the death of Philip.Manfredi wisely uses characters of history to impart his own methods of investigation and his interpretation of the quotations of the times. His interpretation of the sign over the Oracle of Delphi impressed me. Know Thyself.This is Greek week on Travel channel, so I traveled to Greece last night after seeing Yanni appear on Bill OReilly show on Fox network.Now I see that we have a chance to win a date with Yanni through the internet. Wouldn't that be wonderful!At any rate, I have enjoyed choice key words revealed and exposed to me through the book Child of a Dream. The use of the word Jumble in the next book has caught my attention. I am a former editor of Jumbles, a news organ of the Chi O house at Kent State University, so naturally, I am ready for this journey into Sands of Ammon.I will keep you posted as I read along.

The question is WHO contrived the moon landing to coincide with Alexander's birthday? A god? A "mortal"? A secret society?What I really want to know, though, is who contrived the moon to be the same apparent size as the sun, so that they could eclipse each other, and freak people out? - Like the lunar eclipse that occured just days before Alexander's biggest battle at Gaugamela in what is now Iraq.Actually, I know who did it; it was done by whoever created that monolith portrayed in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's like this: whoever controls that monolith rules the world.John

Funny post. I have to remember that about the luncar eclipse while I read Sands of Ammon to see if Manfredi mentions it.I like your wry sense of humour. I don't think that the monolith in the movie ever made too much sense to anyone. Just another rod in space to challenge people's thinking, I guess. I enjoy the fact that so many people can use a character such as Alexander to shed light on times past. I rather imagine that a lunar eclipse excited his superstitious nature according to today's authors. Frankly, I do not believe he is so superstitious but rather he is fully appreciative and aware of nature's impact on his endeavours. I have to credit such a successful person as Alexander in his exploits with more real stability and devotion to his gods than modern historians seem to want to do. I believe that his mother and his oracle are probably correct in that he is a god incarnate. Simply because man today is severed from God does not mean that yesterday's Hero Alexander was.
