Cort Lindahl | Axis Mundi, Architectural Alignments, & The Millennium Monuments

00:02 My my, good people of the internet. It looks like Christmas is finally here! And I got some of my guests here to help me help you spread a little holiday love. Good luck? Oh well...I know we're at the higher side yet so we couldn't be more giddy about it and why not celebrate the corporate-driven season of spending with a gift that oh so ironically spits right in the face of The Christmas Machine with the sweet sweet softness of a T-shirt for the rebellious fashionista in your life from my little clothing brand over at conspirates.net This is one of the most degrading things that anyone could possibly do. Ha, thanks Friedman! Or better yet give them the gift that gives all year long with a subscription to THC Plus for one of your oh so precious friends and family I know thats what Jim Mars is doing right man? Well im kinda on the fence myself Guys this not constructive Duncan Trussell help me out here

00:52 If I were Satan, the first idea that I'd want to implant into their heads is... Okay. That's not what I had in mind either but if you know someone who enjoys THC just go to TheHigherSideChatsPlus.com with any credit or debit card and put in the email address and information for that special someone in your life rather than yourself! I know I and all of the great guests on THC would really appreciate it We don't wanna kill anybody or hurt anybody We want to make a system that works. Jacques, I think that approach is actually illegal let's not do that It was a great idea but it doesn't go far enough No man it went too far but guys all I'm saying Is a year or six months of THC plus makes a great gift believe me? I just signed Douglas Dietrich up for a year and he couldn't be happier Okay

01:36 I love you dearly. Yes, honestly you flatter me too much if you were a member of the opposite sex i would propose See what'd I tell ya? Merry Christmas people In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times but we're far from 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration We offer a fresh conversation! I'm Greg Carlwood These are The Hireside Chats

02:25 Here we go Hireside Chatters, drinking a little drink smoking a little smoke from San Diego. I'm Greg Carlwood on a brand new microphone in the newly upgraded Carlwood studio Can you tell? Probably not...I think it sounds exactly the same Compare it to the old mic and the actual interview and then you'll know where a couple hundred dollars went But let's get on with it So folks, we've been doing this conspiracy thing for a while and I think we've all heard vaguely about the alignments of ancient structures in monuments or the Freemasonic patterns of Washington DC. And i'm sure we have all wondered what is the deal here? What structures are actually aligned how far does this study go what might be learned from it why does even get done in the first place Is it based on some strange energetic properties

03:07 some form of a cult ritual, or just an interesting way to lay out a garden. It really is tough to say and the man of the hour is Court Lindahl he's been dedicating a lot of research to this more than anyone I know of And it's great stuff! Much like David Paulides who will recite case after case of strange unexplained disappearances and leaves the speculating to the listener court has mapped out so many alignments and connections between different monuments to show correlations we never even knew were there And he can rattle off so many interesting threads in the realm of geomancy and axis-mundi alignments, and he too kind of leaves the speculation to people like me. But his facts are fascinating, and the depth of these connections is deeper than I would have expected before I started seeing Kort's work which was brought to me by a THC Plus listener! So thanks for that, I think it ended up being a great show

03:55 Obelisk, Saxus Mundi, Thomas Jefferson the Dome of the Rock, Constantine The Georgia Guidestones Mount Shasta and even an interesting new side to the legend of Coral Castle. So let's do it! The mapping master of alignment refinement himself Court Lindahl. Drink a little drink my friend Smirk a little smile It looks like this to Carl Wood He's studying and we're diving down the rabbit hole He's trying to relax Alright people, most of us have heard that ancient structures like the Great Pyramids of Giza were built with certain alignments in mind and many of us have seen the patterns that are coded into areas of high Masonic influence like Washington DC. We've even been told that many sites and structures around the planet might be set up in some type of grid for energetic or possibly downright magical reasons we won't be able to pin down until we can wrestle these secrets from clutches of occult orders, secret societies, and master masons who build them in the first place

05:03 But today we're going to get as good an understanding as we can because our guest, Court Lindahl has been examining these historic landmarks in all important locations. As well as how they correlate and connect with each other for several years now he's been sharing his findings on these geomantic information structures in a series of YouTube videos on his channel numerous articles on his blog and book entitled Axis Monday It is fascinating piece the big conspiracy puzzle I cannot wait to dive in court my man welcome to THC Well, thanks for having me Greg. I'm excited to be here and tell everybody about what i've been finding Yeah man! Thanks so much for your time. I've really been enjoying going through your work a lot of these alignments and connections that you found were pretty surprising to me. I think the people will agree but it can get a little complex at times And I think terms like axis monday might be new for some people So to kick this thing off let me ask you how do you normally introduce the uninitiated into some of these topics in this work that you're doing?

05:58 Well i would say first is that it in antiquity long before. It was thought this was possible there were priesthood and groups of people you know that comprised of intellectual, where are the intelligent people who can figure all this out with the greeks having an extensive knowledge of geometry and some suspect them even of creating first latitude and longitude grid. So it's related, first of all to men just observing the stars for millennia or thousands of years in recording their positions relative to a given point where often the temple will be built

06:43 So really what you're doing kind of that word in the prefix temp or temporal is kinda what they concern themselves with because a byproduct of observing stars for you to be aware of the time. On the globe where the time till that next star alignment will happen So what we see in my opinion is the establishment of certain places on the globe that were axis mundi or axis of the world, which would be their center point for measurement. So places like The Great Pyramid, the ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon and The Tower Of The Winds in Athens Greece

07:28 I believe we're all built to be geodetic markers on the earth and this infers that they were aware of the shape of your earth enough to be able to plot positions in relation. To these access monday center points and what you see like it in ancient rome and greece there are priesthoods known as augur's that would actually do a dedication ceremonies for the temple And decide which way the temple was oriented. And a lot of this does go back to Egypt at a time when priesthood called needers would actually realign the agricultural fields after each flood of the Nile, so they did have a reason you know practical reason to want to divide property and as time went on we'll see that rulers would use this system to define their domain

08:31 So they would have a temple that was an axis mundi, that would define the corresponding templum or sphere of influence that they had. The geometric part of it whether the axis is shaped like hexagon square or octagon these shapes infer directions on the globe so often they will place talismanic corresponding structures around even divisions of the octagon let's say And so these buildings would actually point to other buildings which were many times oriented to point to each other over long distances on the globe. So really, I guess that the best example i've come up with all of it in modern sense is based on the tower of the winds and athens greece which is small octagonal tower

09:28 that has a god assigned to each of the 16 directions that they considered important. And we later see the same phenomena occurring or being installed at St Peter's Square of the Vatican, there it is really obvious now and we know the obelisk was once only about 150 yards from where is now in St Peter square so at this scale none of these measurements would really change But you see a distinct value of this beginning during the reign of Emperor Constantine, who was the first Byzantine ruler of Eastern Empire and in his capital in Constantinople. So we see that he may have even placed his capital to be exactly due east of the measurement of the equinox from St Peter's Square

10:25 If you create an azimuth on the globe at this direction, that sunrise it leads to Constantinople. So this is part of the reason he placed his new capital in relation to the old one and we can see him having created the first St Peter's Basilica there at the Vatican And also creating the royal district of constantinople where what's interesting about this whole phenomenon to its generationally is his son and grandson later brought obelisks. To constantinople place them in the hippodrome in a simpler context to the one that was in rome as well so overtime his entire family set up this geographic relationship that was reflective

11:13 the equinoxes between the two capitals, huh? Yes, it's so fascinating and we're gonna find that these are this design structure stretches to so many different areas But you did say something interesting that they had When you're looking at these over long distances They do adjust for the curvature of the earth So they had a good idea of the shape of the earth. So We know that they didn't always think the Earth was flat like were taught in school Yeah That's correct And you see that just being part of the mystery that that is In the past would have been much harder for the average person to sort through of course now we have things like google earth. Can help us make these associations a lot easier because even doing this on a flat map

11:58 require some trigonomic and geometric skills that are unique to the scale of each map you're trying to draw the correct arc on. Google earth has made it really easy for you to draw an arc on the globe, i'm really see relationships like this in that this is indeed a cultural activity that was planned and goes beyond the scope of any possible just random associations Yeah, and there are so many people I've talked to who allude to these connections but I've never seen anyone go into the level of detail that you do. I'm kind of curious how you got down this rabbit hole? I guess I believe your study started with Thomas Jefferson didn't it? Yes, Thomas Jefferson...I did! It's interesting in that regard because

12:45 I found later that a lot of people who are interested in these types of things were drawn to them through the alchemical representations that are in cathedrals and Europe, and structures in the old world. But I started by looking at Thomas Jefferson and had seen if you videos about ley lines and read little bit about it from having lived and worked in Virginia for a long time. I was familiar with his architecture and realized that he had built two octagonal structures. And one of them is his small country estate, Poplar Forest which is a little less known than Monticello, his main estate near Charlottesville and both the Monticello has an octagonal turret in its design that you can see from plan view and Poplar Forest at first was completely just an octagon

13:42 Really what you see is Thomas Jefferson is kind of venerating or giving a nod to Constantine the Great because he built four octagonal structures and all of them had these directional qualities. And really as I dug in, I even found out that there's a lot of 19th century historical accounts that say Constantine the Great had built an octagon on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem Hmm. This is where the Dome of the Rock is today, which is an octagon and even the Dome of the Rock is oriented to point to St Peter's Square in the obelisk there one of the sides of the octagon does this And then the obelisk and one of the wind rose marker at the Vatican points back to the dome of the rock So one azimuth on the globe is defined by both of these structures

14:41 And if you look into it, it's just odd that the Muslims would build a Byzantine imperial form of architecture for their holy place. And as I looked into that, I found that Byzantine Emperor Justinian II had actually sent artists and engineers to assist the Caliph Malik, the Muslim ruler of Jerusalem at that time, in the building of the Dome of the Rock Interesting. Yeah, so there's lots of room for theories of imperial manipulation that Justinian II was simply rebuilding the octagon that Constantine had built before and we have some architectural historians even saying this is the original structure, it was never demolished, that we've kind of been scammed into believing

15:31 that it's something other than it actually is. Right, yeah there are so many cover-ups and mysteries in history that examining some of these things gives you great clues into the real nature of some of them I know one of them that was interesting to me...I know you're a fan of Graham Hancock, I am as well and you've been interested in the hunt for The Ark Of The Covenant And you've extrapolated some clues from these patterns that tie into the story of that artifact, right? In relation to the Vatican and some of the things it points too. Yeah and that's really interesting too because there were already existing theories that people are espousing somehow the Ark of the Covenant once made its way from Ethiopia to Chartres Cathedral in France

16:18 And one of the places in ethiopia where it previously supposedly been. Was lol a belly ethiopia and this is the home to the churches that are built right into the bedrock there, and all the most of them were in the shape of the greek cross from plan view and those infer an octagon as well need sided figure And what we see is that using the obelisk in Winrose at St. Peter's, it points directly to Lalabella Ethiopia and this is a place that some of the theories state that the Emperor Mescal Lalabella built this as a reproduction of Jerusalem

17:02 And even today there is a pilgrimage associated with Lalibela and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church there. And we know, you know from Graham Hancock's work that he believes the Ark of the Covenant is there in the church of St Mary in Axum Ethiopia and this same line that goes to Lalibela goes close to there it doesn't cross both places at once but its very close as well What we see with the Ark of the covenant, if you go back to the Vatican, that points to Lalibela and plot a line in exact opposite direction crossing over the opposite wind rose marker it now goes to shark cathedral.

17:53 So you have one continuous association, a line and azimuth on the globe that is suggested by this relationship that goes from shark to Lalibela wall transacting the Egyptian obelisk at the Vatican. And it all involves the lore of The Ark Of The Covenant so it seems like this could've been arranged somehow Lalibela had constructed his city and churches there in this context, and then later a shark cathedral as well. It's just what I find so interesting about this stuff that you're sometimes able to see those correlations between structures? Well it begs the question was it all arranged? Obviously it was and then the corresponding mythology of all three places developed kind of possibly around just this geographic relationship itself

18:49 Yeah that could be it yeah it could not be the true trajectory of the ark at all exactly could be just a mythology thats been applied there possibly. Where can you be true to me know there's no kernels of truth And in myths and legends and things like that i mean thats part of what i've tried to do in my work is kind of remain a little more objective not go. Too far down the new age rabbit hole without looking at practical reasons that these things are done really would i come up with many times stranger than what the methods

19:25 in reality, you know. Right and that's always a fun conclusion to find but you do often use the term geomancy when talking about these things Do you think at least in some cases there is an energetic property or magical property to these arrangements? I think that there's at least as strong belief through time I mean we see that like for instance A lot of these relationships wouldn't be possible without the collection of ephemeris Or what is known as star charts, like star logs of sightings that you know at a place like the Vatican or the Tower of the Winds or The Great Pyramid that these things have been collected for hundreds of years. So they were well aware of the cycles of movement in the sun and moon and stars given a fixed point

20:14 And this confuses a lot of people to because they don't believe this is possible because most of the history and navigation centers around medical navigation which is more difficult so, i mean you even see people claiming property for their sovereign relation two places for instance that the dome of the rock. And that's part of what this is all wrapped up in later royal entities using it as a way to legally define their domain to each other in terms they could understand. So, they're saying I own this at certain angle and a certain amount of miles away from the Vatican for instance and this is mine. Gotcha! And they would do a certain claiming ritual and ceremony associated with that

21:00 I mean, that we even saw Constantine the Great doing when he established Constantinople. He scraped out the boundaries of the royal district using the Spear of Destiny in a ritualistic manner so all of the augers were there and were doing all of the appropriate... it's somewhat analogous to the laying of the cornerstone ceremony that masons do but on much larger scale. Yeah Yeah, and you kind of alluded to this earlier and gave us an example. But have you ever been able to find any other strange political associations based on the geometry or maybe gain insight into the influence of certain groups or secret societies in places where we wouldn't have thought that they should be involved? Well that's kinda what happened when I started looking at Thomas Jefferson

21:49 I mean there's no official records that he was a mason but all the masons say he was, that his records were destroyed or lost. And uh i found that when he built Poplar Forest for instance it may have had an association with with a close companion not companion of his but correspondent Alexander von Humboldt and they were both members of the Linnaean Society in London And Alexander von Humboldt was the Prussian royal court geographer. And we see at this time, the Prussians kind of supported

22:29 of us in the revolution indirectly and they also supported the Scottish Jacobites who I believe are, in large part responsible for the creation of United States. In a kind of secret way. We had exiled Scottish people who had lost revolutions in England that have been sent to the colonies in two different periods and affected the revolution here in a large way. So you can see that Thomas Jefferson seems to have oriented his octagon of Poplar Forest first at points to just within a few hundred yards of Monticello, his other home and then it proceeds the point within another few hundred yards of James Madison's estate, Montpelier

23:20 And Madison's estate is oriented to point a line right back to Poplar Forest. And recently they have uncovered an octagonal structure at Montpelier, this just happened within the last few months. Wow! That archaeologist yes actually whether it was a gazebo or separate structure I'm not clear on yet but he did have an octagonal structure there So it's only this line continues and really in the rest of north america doesn't really transect across anywhere. No significance but crosses the north atlantic to scotland, who sterling castle and points that a giant octagonal earthworks known as the kings not. That's sterling castle so really what jefferson is showing you here is his allegiances

24:14 to scotland and possibly the jack o'bite cause is wall and this would have been also backed up. I just time in france that he spent with the secret society there because of even a lot of scottish new bulls are also french nobles, can you lie themselves with france against england through history many times And we see that in the american revolution our allies with france. Can you scottish exiles and others as well sympathize with jack by calls so there's a little secret error, not interesting to because the king is not the octagon their points to the dome of the rock

24:55 It all goes back to the dome. Right! But to clarify how this works or give people a visual of how these alignments are measured, I guess the best thing is imagine you have a site or building and if your looking down with a birds eye view whatever shape it is square octagon otherwise a building or property line or garden is made of line segments and what you're talking about is extending these lines segments, these sides of one building sometimes around the globe until you find yourself lining up with the side of totally different site somewhere right? Right. You measure it as closely as you can which I've learned to do really accurately using

25:37 Hi in gps you have your compared it to places on google earth that i can measure here and there where i live and found it to be very accurate. And do you measure the side of the building, when you can just pull back measurement across the globe and see what did intersect with and really was many times i would sit at the computer You know but looking at this on google earth and like for instance when i pulled the measurement from the vatican. Do the dome of the rock in it match the angle of the facet of the building in cross the windows mark just sit there stand that is it done you know and and uh,

26:19 You see it all through history. I mean, after a while this kind of became a fad with landed gentry in Europe and England and they would build follies on their estates that reflected these values many times they would build reproductions of the Tower of the Winds even in Athens which is an octagon and one in Athens is interesting because one of the facets points to Avebury Circle in England And then a lot of the other facets point to places that are important in greek classic. Mythology and culture like fs is the battle of joy, the battle of marathon

26:58 Artemis, Greece. It points directly to these places and the Chaeban structures in the Agora there in Athens surrounding it that were aligned with regard to the way that the power of the winds points. That's so interesting! And another modern connection I wanted to talk about in relation to Jefferson's poplar forest is one side... If you extend it, it points to the Georgia Guidestones which are a monument we've been talking about a lot on the show lately. I'm sure you've heard about the notch that was cut, the small stone that was added with codes and then chiseled into it and then they took it out and broke it up so a lot of people are trying to decode the message in this ritual of sorts and who knows what it means but you found that it does have some interesting connections in terms of alignment one being that poplar forest

27:44 Right well i've kind of changed that a little bit the alignment i have for popular forest and other people looked at it some many times i'll get other people to double check my work as well. And it goes about eleven miles from the georgia guide stone so it doesn't. Exactly there but if you look at what the millennial themes that are included on the georgia guidestones a lot of people point to, no the age of reason thing that has been associated with thomas jefferson and his ideals so i think that message

28:22 I mean i take it more as a suggestion and not something that's gonna happen like alot of people have tried to turn into right. That's possible wouldn't discount that at all, i'm not here to finally judge or tell you what's going on for sure but i've come to view the georgia guide stones is an hexagonal array Based on, if you look at the plan view of the monument it suggests more of a hexagon than an octagon. And it does point to some interesting places using that template including Charleston South Carolina where the Scottish Rite was created of masonry and one in the other azimuths also points to Constantinople right to the Egyptian obelisk there

29:14 going back to a veneration of Constantine again. And really, in the Masonic point of view I would say or context that they value what Constantine did and if you look at the history of masonry coming to Europe we have Charlemagne's grandfather bringing operative stone masons from the Byzantine Empire to Europe for the first time And we later see his grandson Charlemagne building his octagon at Aachen Cathedral. All architectural historians will tell you that the interior of this octagon is styled just like the dome of The Rock. So here, we have even Charlemagne having discerned this mystery and knowing somehow... I mean many people say oh he's venerating Muslim forms of art but he's not!

30:08 When you see an octagon, they're talking about Constantine the Great and the Tower of the Wounds in Athens. And not anything else! in my opinion. So he was hip to all of that and he admired Constantine and the Byzantines very much, he brought spolia or pieces of architecture from Constantinople in Ravenna Italy and had them used in the building of the cathedral, he brought statues of Justinian I and II and really he might have even seen himself as being related to Constantine the Great

30:46 in this manner. And we also have the obelisk and wind rose markers at the Vatican pointing directly to Aachen Cathedral, in which Charlemagne of course is the first Holy Roman Emperor." Man! The coincidences just keep stacking up! Yeah well it's to a point where it can't be... Right right exactly how many coincidences do you really need to extrapolate a real pattern? But another point on the Guidestones I'm kind of with you is that They are exactly what they say, guidestones for if there was some cataclysm people could find it. It's written in all the different languages that Earth is known and could extrapolate some type of guide for maintaining life on the planet and you could say that the first one is a little scary maintaining the population under half a billion people but the rest of them I completely am in agreement with

31:42 Yeah, they might be planning some type of big scary thing. A lot of people today are attributing it to Ebola but one interesting point I've heard you say just a fuel that side of the conspiracy fire is there is an alignment with where they store those FEMA coffins and the Georgia Guidestones isn't there? Well that's more along the line That's coming from Poplar Forest that Thomas Jefferson created And that's also the name of the town is madison that's a president. Yeah and then little further on the line crosses monticello georgia,

32:20 And so on so these people would even create small towns that were in the know about this possibly and name them. After presidents are having something to do with thomas jefferson so, nothing mclaughlin thing was a little scary that they ended up in e on top of that or there any town named for president And really what you're seeing with the Georgia Guidestones and some of this that Thomas Jefferson is doing, and I know Jay Widener has spoken about this as well before. That these are millennial monuments. And really that this is a tradition that goes way back into the dark ages in before of fear of the end of the world from The Book of Revelations and other sources.

33:11 Some people have come to view this concept as a way of controlling people through fear. So that's possible too, but on the other hand what all of these monuments have in common and we have the Georgia Guidestones. The great cyclic cross of Vendee and even Coral Castle down there in Florida. The star chart at Hoover Dam that was created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt All of these places give you a way to fix North Star and the equinoxes And the time of day So you have all of these elements at the Georgia Guidestone, the Millennial Warning and the Commandments themselves obviously. And then the monument is telling you here if the worst ever happens and everything hits the fan we're giving you a way to determine true north time of day in the time of year accurately

34:08 So that's kind of what's going on. You see at Coral Castle we have the same thing going on. Right, and I did want to ask you about Coral Castle because so many people write me and asked me to cover Coral Castle more but the story hasn't really changed and it's not really It's a little light to do two hours on, but I have heard you talk about some of the new details you found by looking for these geographical connections and the fact that this might be one of these millennial monuments. Can you tell people the story of Ed and Coral Castle for folks who might not be too familiar with it? And your take on this mystery? Sure! Yeah briefly...Ed Leedskalnin came from Riga Latvia

34:48 And supposedly the reason he left Latvia is because he was jilted at the altar by a 16-year old bride. So, he briefly traveled around America including a brief stay in Washington State and ended up down there in Florida. Now I believe that we can see that this was all by design in my opinion because what he did when he went down there End up building coral castle all by himself i mean this is an amazing accomplishment. Add was a trained stone mason so that explains why you know what's able to even contemplate taking on such a task and story was he's building it for his, no sweet sixteen become join him in florida

35:42 So what i found is i began to examine it is what you know coral castle did conform to the elements present in a millennial monument. And it gives you a way to calculate the equinox and site the North Star. It also included a sundial as part of the construction, and then also in a lot of these millennial monuments you see the images of the sun, moon, stars because these are the objects that are actually used to navigate and calculate these positions on globe So as I began to examine, again I went back to the Vatican in the wind rose markers and lo and behold one of them pointed directly to Coral Castle. So then the possibility was brought that this was why he had placed it where he did. And then on top of that is I looked at it more, I spoke how the axis at the Vatican points to the dome of The Rock

36:46 The azimuth that points to Coral Castle is the exact opposite one. So here again we have the dome of the rock pointing to the Vatican and continuing on to point to Coral Castle, so at situated Coral Castle where both the dome of the rock and the array at the Vatican point this way. And then even more amazingly is this single azimuth now associating three Millennial monuments on the planet continues it comes to cause a new island in Mexico. Which is the first place that Spain ever claimed mexico and did their claiming ceremony. And i mean you found other instances of this the dome of the rock points to the Solomon islands

37:33 In the south pacific and we know king solomon moved on the temple mountain build a temple there using angels and demons so that's the reason those are named as well other places in philippines. Many places this banish import you guys claimed property replaces they landed, look at the moon sun stars and figure their special relationship with the dome of the rocker the vatican services ed was doing in some sense, I believe. So even him moving it, after a while he moved Coral Castle. That's what I thought was most interesting And it actually ended up being closer in better alignment after he had moved it Right and for people who haven't seen Coral Castle you gotta check it out apparently It was built by this one guy He says he builts it using the secrets that were used to build the pyramids and he move these giant multi-ton pieces of coral in these

38:31 really precise alignments and some of them you're like, how could that even be moved? I hear the doors to it are on a particular type of hinge that people can't figure out how they would have taken the stone that big and got it so perfect on there. And the fact that he built all of this not once but then he dismantled it and took it to some other location. That to me speaks of the fact that it is very important where it lies on the earth in relation to maybe either if its not ley lines of energy then it must be

39:07 Just wanting to be in coordinates with these other millennial monuments But man to build it want and to build it twice is just it adds another layer of awe to the whole thing Right, I forgot to mention as well that one of the other wind rose markers at the Vatican points To his hometown of Riga Latvia as well. Ah so he was even from a place that was being pointed to and Since he was an operative stone mason, he may have been part of a Masonic group or some one type or another that was aware of this. And you did mention the big story is that Ed built this because of his jilted lover and he would often refer to her as his sweet 16 lover. You believe that was a bit of a coded message more about these monuments possibly right? Well I think in my opinion you see the sixteen wind rose markers at the Vatican

40:01 Can you have one of them pointing that way he's kind of giving you a reference to these octagonal rays that every twenty two and half degrees could possibly point to something. Maybe the sweet sixteen reference was in reference to the wind rose markers instead of his girlfriend I think you're on to something there, man. Because he's very into his coded messages He didn't want to reveal the secrets but he left a book that alludes to how he did it several times and...I think you're right! He was a guy who definitely liked his mysteries and he got a kick out of hinting at them And i think that Sweet 16 thing definitely could be part of it Right! And he was obviously very intelligent man And he was living during the era of Nikola Tesla

40:48 Right you know so he may have been looking at some of those kind of ideas and was smart enough to try to give an attempt to do this at least if we didn't actually do it. I don't wanna burst everybody's balloon out there by saying he couldn't do any of the more supernatural things that are sad or anything i can prove one way or another all i can say is i noticed That the structure and placement of the building fit the model that I had developed for all these other millennial monuments as well. Yeah, those are interesting connections for sure! They cannot be ignored and this alignment is probably the only real new insight into the whole situation since i first heard the story And the mystery of how it was done still remains but apparently he wouldn't let anybody see how it was done

41:36 And one of those paranormal claims you alluded to comes from the story that some kids were sneaking around at night and they saw Ed standing there, and the stones were just floating into place. And then there's the anecdote from when he was moving the site to that other spot 10 miles down the road in Florida He hired a truck driver to transport the stones But he would tell the guy to leave or go grab some lunch and the guy would come back, and Ed had the stones loaded in a truck. Some suggest using that same type of energy to float them into place And those are stories that bring me back to the idea of some energetic vortex on some of these locations And it's tough to know. But when people do try to say it's like a naturally occurring thing along these ley lines or something, I wonder if that is the case why we don't just catch boulders floating on their own near these sites every so often?

42:27 a right out of hand. I mean, I would eat crow if i was wrong but but I think that's entirely possible something like that could be known of or used we do like when talking about Tesla he proved that electricity can travel through the earth yeah in an ordered way and things like that or through the air as well so who knows what it would take to actually harness this and it might not have been difficult as we see in the past. I mean, back in ancient Egypt they had kinetic art that used magnets water pressure and all kinds of more modern concepts that we don't even think of you know being applied there like that anything is possible and there could be an ancient knowledge of that but also people should also stop to think a minute about the value

43:23 Of people getting you to believe things like that are absolutely true. This is how a millennial monument could work as far from a manipulative standpoint, giving you some sort of more far out explanation for real thing you know, that may or may not have a root of truth in it. So it can be used to manipulate and fool you as well. That's true! I definitely believe that. It is very hard to know what the truth is because you got people on multiple sides trying to get you to believe multiple things for a whole host of reasons

44:00 It gets pretty tricky, but this is pretty concrete. You know your work it's very you know it's very hard to lie about the actual geographical placements of some of these monuments. You know? It's right there so in those cases you can't be manipulated. Right and what you'll see too that's interesting as many of these places do have an overlay of mystique seemingly intentionally placed I mean from the rain shadow mystery which has elements of this where there's a star in landscape all of the legends there you see that the inclinable williamsburg with the octagonal powder magazine is there's no legend of bacon's vault. We have location of oak island being pointed to by several ancient axes

44:49 Yes, and then with Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest you have the Beale treasure legend. I'm not familiar with that one Yeah there is a treasure right there in the area where the poplar forest is located that supposed to be hidden somewhere in the area And the man who developed this treasure legend or left records of it even possibly being there his name was Thomas Jefferson Beal So I think Thomas Jefferson created this myth, myself personally to draw you to popular forests so you will figure out what that is. Hmm. So these men intentionally leave mysteries behind. We see Constantine the Great likely left a mystery to actually where his remains were nobody actually really knows

45:43 And so my theory is that they're on the temple mount where he built his octagon. Then we see Charlemagne later figuring all of this out and he left a mystery as to where his remains were That was actually solved by one of his grandsons that was the Holy Roman Emperor. Emperor Otto found his body and this is a myth, it's not recorded as being actually true but that's where he found the illuminated manuscript The Coronation Gospels which are very famous and well known and are the gospels used to coronate German kings

46:22 So these were found so he left a mystery and so this is partially what's going on with thomas jefferson he's loved us in ministry. Using his architecture as i said i found it led me to the kings not of the octagon of monticello points to roslyn chapel in scotland which is very another famous place of mystery that has many millennial themes involved So that's one reason i enjoy jay why did she get so much good work about the great cross of on day and i applied my model what was going on. First i didn't even think it would have to do with me because it wasn't a geometric structure is a simple small monument, read the mystery of the cathedrals book there several references in the book to value true north and where just told you

47:21 Not even failed terms that this is what you're supposed to do. And not the sun and moon in the stars on the monument are telling me, create an octagonal template using true north when i plotted all of this out i did find some stunning associations including one of the asmr from the great cross of monday pointing directly to jefferson poplar forest Interesting. And he would have likely been aware of this via his association with Alexander von Humboldt and other people like him. And on the subject you mentioned Jay Widener, we just recently had him on the show and we talked a little bit about the lore of Mount Shasta and you were telling me before we got started here that you spent a lot of time up there and came up with some theories of your own about that area can you tell us a little bit about that?

48:13 Well yeah, this is one of those places, Mount Shasta where you can kind of see an intentional application of mythology. I mean the very first reference to creatures living beneath the mountains or being associated with Lemuria is channeled information It's information that you know the few dig back through where all this came from. This is a man who lived in why are you going to mount shasta and he was receiving communications from another entity

48:50 So it depends on how much you believe things like that or not. I've definitely never experienced anything like that in my life, but i've talked to enough researchers that I'm pretty on board with the idea that at the top of most secret societies they're trying...at least trying if not actually they're trying to communicate with something non-human but again without any personal validation is all just guesswork Right and you can also see where a concept like that could be used Can you possibly hide some other truth it could be part of the reason that all of this is applied and when you dig down into the historical truth what's going on often.

49:32 It may explain why they would create this diversion, so to speak. Do you think there's any indications of what that motivation might be at Mount Shasta? What they might actually be trying to cover up with all this fantasy? Yes! And really it started to unravel in that respect for me when I examined a certain gentleman named Joaquin Miller And he's a writer and poet, and he was known as the Poet of the Sierras. He was an interesting kind of almost like American country Saint Germain figure or traveling mystic type of fellow. And he lived in Mount Shasta area and wrote book his life amongst the Modoc Indians there which is really way more popular in England than it ever was in United States

50:26 But while he was there, he lived right near Castle Crags just south of the mountain. And there's some strange petroglyphs there that seem to have a Masonic motif or New Age Theosophic motif to them and so later Joaquin Miller would travel the courts of Europe and associate with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood which is kind of an occult oriented artist guild England and france that he had a large association with the travel all the major cities of europe. When you return to the united states you lived in washington dc for two years exactly where meridian hill park in washington dc is now

51:14 And this is the so-called Sacred Longitude or White House Meridian that was actually marked by Thomas Jefferson himself who made surveying pier stones along this meridian. And this meridian also includes earlier in history Captain John Smith, famous from Jamestown traveling to Acoquique Maryland which is also on the Sacred Longitude and quote teaching the Native Americans The Holy Grail. So that's a weird reference to somebody teaching somebody the holy grail right in math and so there is another being applied early. So walkie miller came and intentionally lived in a log cabin on this alignment so he was aware of this and then it really becomes obvious when you move back to oakland california

52:08 Any seeks out and purchases property that's exactly one hundred and eighty degrees do south of chastity. Any proceeds to build a pyramid there huh into other towers as well so he's using the mountain itself is in access so i still studied on, i found that there's an odd tower in palo alto california called the frenchman's tower And as i began to research that, I found a lot of evidence that said exiled french king henry the fifth was behind the construction of this tower which is also due south of mount shasta. It aligns with millers monuments and mountain as well so we see all this kind corresponds to huge royal european interest in gold rushes well

53:01 Man, that is so interesting. Of course the elites would have their hand in a gold rush anywhere on the planet but it's cool to be able to sort of track that through this study and keep it weird It is a bit odd that so often these structures they're interested in placing are obelisks or pyramids like you mentioned and they all kind of have sort of similar shape of coming to a point at the top pointing upwards towards the sky like a spire and maybe this is just tradition or superstition among these people. Of course we have the Osiris myth which puts importance on the obelisk but maybe instead of a natural energetic phenomenon, maybe there's some type of power from that structure that draws up energy from the earth or something like that that's just kind of been kept hidden from the mainstream

53:44 That's possible. I just, you know as i observe historical records and the history of everything of course there is nobody coming out right and saying that except later researchers who are just supposing that it's possible. And i think it is possible but really what started to bring it all home with regard to Mount Shasta for me Throughout the 18th century and 19th century, I saw a large propensity for Scottish nobles and Norman Scots nobles from France building these structures. And so as I studied with even the later bloodline or family members came to control the Hudson's Bay Company of Canada. We know that they ranged into what is now the Western United States quite a lot

54:40 And I found out that they even had a huge influence in the early history of Mount Shasta. If you look at the earliest town in the Mount Shasta area, one of them is called Dunsmuir and in Scottish Gaelic that means Fortress of Muir. We also have McLeod California which is right at the base of the mountain named for one of the Hudson's Bay explorers so all these descendants of James Douglas In other places in america they're responsible for building the international peace garden which has a huge octagonal. Fountain or sunken gardens there that is used as a sighting device we have. Thomas jefferson's popular forest pointing to mount shasta and other things of this nature that kind of make it a special place to me given the terms that i see

55:38 that they valued it for its position on the earth, the fact that its a beautiful place. So possibly a lot of this mythology and lore was later applied intentionally because really what all this infers is that they do have something hidden there. You know? There's something there of value It used to be a very remote place maybe at one point something was hidden here Using the system that i see it of course bonded with a lot of treasure hunters. Who are interested in my work because they have seen

56:14 parallels in some of the things they've looked for and actually found using systems like this. Yeah, I find that so fascinating and that was a question I had for you we already talked about a few instances of treasure but i thought these could possibly be markers or clues to where some these treasures could be hidden and I love the idea that in modern times there's still huge troves out there just waiting to be discovered You said you coordinated with some treasure hunters. That's got to be pretty crazy, has it ever resulted in a find? I'm sure we would have heard about it if it had. No, it hasn't but they're looking and really that part of what I think is possibly a lot of even the treasures are just myths intended to draw the curious and really what happens is your kind of drawn into a mystery school

57:09 Are you forced to learn the beliefs of the people who built this structure why the tradition of it and everything else involved in. You know going back to jay widener new or else but in a great cross on days, All of these alchemical references and in the book mystery of the cathedrals where it's discussed. There is a lot of veiled and hidden things in there that you might only understand if you have enough background knowledge to have the eyes to see so to speak, are lots of things hidden

57:46 In the end in places like the great cross of on day i mean. I found that when i plotted the great crossed a point to place is it lead to this small, how many spain called ron disney southern orientation and uh Lo and behold i started to search the ronda there's a place their call palacio salvajeira. It has an inscription that includes many of the same characters that are on the great cross of one day in front of the policy is another cross that is almost exactly like the great cross of monday, and then two doors away from this policy is albert era is lost you want to zoom out

58:31 Because the Montesunas, some of them were made Spanish nobility after the time of Cortez. And so a lot of the imagery that Jay Widener saw pointed him to Peru So the columns holding up the porch at Palacio Salvatierra are Incans They're called Incan figures, they're atlantes. They are human figures that are columns that are holding up the porch there so they're scant clues with the same kind of characters or fonts that are on The Great Cross and other things that led me here to believe it was associated and then I began to even just dig into the European Spanish intervention with the Aztecs

59:28 Can we see the court has showed up that montezuma predicted the day that cortez would arrive. Can you tell me that's a ding ding ding ding setup and how do people forget this to i mean back in this area these, no colonial powers had vast intelligence services i mean even with native peoples they might find ways to manipulate them ahead of time And kind of soften them up i mean it's in the modern world that's called spooking natives. You know that's what referred to and spy craft is creating something like that so later we see, back to alexander von humboldt he was the first european scholar to come examine the aztec sunstone which is based on my calendar

1:00:23 So we see a direct link right here to the whole millennial craze of 2012. That's what we just saw, those were millennial concepts being used to instill awareness and or fear in the public at large. We're the natives now! Right, exactly and I think some of the things that the Europeans saw when they came and examined the beliefs and the technical skill the natives had in measuring stars that it kind of freaked them out And there was a blowback that even had a huge impact on the psyche of the Europeans, given what the Native Americans were already aware of. They shared the same millennial views as many Gnostic and occult groups in Europe already valued, you know, as displayed in the cathedrals and discussed in Mystery of the Cathedrals long before they even went to the Americas. Right! So his examination of the Sun Stone

1:01:21 Who he even uses the same kind of terms where you can pair is it to indian eastern india religion. And and other things that seem while you're reading alexander von humble wrote this in eighteen oh three and sounds like modern new age commentator what's interesting about this really is Two weeks after he examined the sunstone, he visited Thomas Jefferson in Washington DC. And later in the 19th century we see a rendering of the Aztec Sun Stone including on the United States Capitol Rotunda. So for us to go there that includes the sun stone

1:02:06 Wow man, really makes you think maybe they were planning that whole 2012 end of days Great Awakening myth for a long time. And we're kind of casting doubt on a lot of interesting lore but the idea that it could be manipulated by these groups is also really fascinating I guess before we wrap this up, man. I know you do have a documentary movie coming out? I saw the trailer for it looks interesting It's called the secrets of Northern California Can you tell us a little bit about what that's going to contain sure it's gonna go into more detail about a lot of things I mentioned about Chico, California We have interesting early Gold Rush involvement of European royalty including one of their early pioneers in California Peter Lassen and

1:02:48 If you examine a map of the mexican land grant holdings like prior to the gold rush we see three of our family members holding some of their. Land grants that they got from mexico before week became part of united states so there's lots of evidence that suggests they knew that gold was here significantly before the cold rush began And yeah, it's interesting too because there is i found two strange stones. And one of them is covered with the moon sun and stars that was found in the feather river canyon and has a date of eighteen thirty six on it which is significantly before. 1848 when the gold rush was supposed to happen this is among one of the richest gold strikes ever the stone was found

1:03:41 And then I have another interesting stone that has Ogum writing on it, that was traditionally used to make land claims as well. So there's a couple of strange stones there in the Feather River Canyon and I'll be talking about those and I'll be talking about the mysteries of Mount Shasta and my views kind of what I've discussed here but more in depth on why Mount Shasta is a valued place Sounds awesome, man. I'm looking forward to checking that out when it does come out and because some of the so much of this material is aided by visuals you want to tell people where they can dig even deeper on your YouTube channel in your blog and also they can get Your book there too i believe right sure yeah? I have about 80 videos on my youtube channel courtland all

1:04:33 Some of the older ones do have a few inaccuracies in there. It's a process it is it's kind of like it's hard to say right away and learn to kinda find things and then wait go over them more before i write about make a video now, so my later videos are a lot more accurate and more fact checked and i do my last book was called access monday. And there's a link to that on create space dot com on my blog which is survivalcell.blogspot.com and a bunch of the book is available for free there, and I'm just getting ready to finish up my next book and I'm not sure what I'm going to name it but I think about maybe naming it The Navigators Of The Octagon or something in that vein. That's one of those titles! That's a good title that'll get people right well we

1:05:23 Well, very cool. I've been thoroughly impressed and learned a lot and I'm sure the people have as well. Keep doing what you do man! Thanks for coming on the show and take care of yourself out there. You don't want to reveal too many secrets. Alright, thank you very much Greg for having me in here and being interviewed by somebody who knows all the right questions to ask so thanks. Well, I appreciate that man. I'm not the smartest guy but I do so much preparation for these shows that I hope it's not too noticeable But its been an awesome show man take care of yourself Alright, have a good one. Burning Man's alignment, the use of labyrinths. More about the energy or possible psychological effect. The geomancy of 9-11, Cleopatra's needle in the twin towers and where some pieces of debris are kept. Connections to biblical prophecy being recited by congressmen. The interactions between ancient cultures that are supposed to be impossible. Locations important to major religions and Mormonism too. Connection with a very large array and breakdowns

1:06:38 interesting layouts in Washington DC and a story that alludes to John Wilkes Booth having lived long after the Lincoln assassination being sheltered by spies. It's deep stuff folks, I'd love to catch you on the plus side. THC Studios also got this massive upgrade on this microphone i'm talking to you right now! And that is thanks to all of those who have signed up for THC Plus in just 3 1⁄2 short months it has been going on. been able to upgrade some stuff and spend some money on backup systems which I've never had. I've always just shot from the hip at any point my computer could have crashed and i could have lost any one of those pretty high level interviews at times, So I spent a large amount of money to make a marginal difference-a classic stable of the modern technological consumer cycle And speaking of consumer cycles...I'm also trying to get some THC themed stuff out in time for Christmas

1:07:28 Some of it's pretty creative and two new designs from Conspirates are coming out probably in a week or so. I am really psyched, I went to a really high-end shop and they're gonna be pretty awesome! I also saw Interstellar which i think any THC fan would love It is long as hell but you gotta know that going in Many of our favorite topics come up throughout the film most notably not to give anything away But anyone who's interested in the Saturnian Brotherhood will have a lot to talk about at the In-N-Out after the movie, I will say that. But I can't say anymore it's too soon! It's way too soon... but i love you guys and hope your all out there getting what you want doing what you wanna do and being who you wanna be enjoying the ride with THC That is it for me Your move Geomancers of The Shadow Elite Your Frickin Move You're welcome Dark Matter
