Lost Atlantean Structure Discovered in Baltic Sea

baltic_sea_monumentOur oceans hold many secrets to man’s early origins. Back in 2011, while searching for shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea, some marine treasure hunters using sonar detection equipment picked up an unusual giant underwater object.

The seafloor structure was 200 feet in diameter, circular, and had a terraced stone construction. Initially they thought the anomaly might belong to the Paleolithic Age. Now, due to its strange properties and further testing, the Ocean X team that discovered it believes it was built by the highly advanced Atlantean civilization over 14,000 years ago.

Co-discoverer and Ocean X team leader Dennis Aasberg describes just a few of the geometric features presented by the disc-shaped temple rising above the sea floor:

“It looks like a round object separated from the bottom. It looks… like concrete. When we brush it off its [surface is] black. The object looks the same underneath as on the upper side. Same color too. Just like a plate on the bottom. And it has something that looks like big stairs… perhaps one meter high each step. Its strange… We have not been able to find more holes besides the 2 meter hole with a [recessed] square [formation] around it.”

balticseamonumentA detailed Ocean X report states that there are prohibitive conditions that have severely limited filming of the ancient monumental structure, especially rough seas and very poor bottom visibility. Animated digital terrain models allow a clearer perspective of the massive proportions and complex geometric configuration of the submerged monument.

The greatest hindrance to the seafloor site investigation is an intense electromagnetic vortex that perpetually interferes with all types of electrical equipment situated on or above the ancient monument. In a vertical water column formation, it affects onboard ships on the sea surface and even low-flying airplanes.

The same researchers report that this special type of potentially dangerous EM vortex causes digital magnetometers and compasses to spin perpetually in proximity to the temple and directly above it, a fact that is familiar to military and civilian pilots working in the vicinity of pyramids all over the world, especially in Egypt, Mexico and Guatemala. (Also similar in nature to the anomalies experienced intermittently in the Bermuda Triangle.)

The Baltic Sea Monument (60.826°N 19.796°E) is situated 2,194 miles from the Great Pyramid; a distance corresponding to 8.81% of Earth’s mean circumference distance of 24,892 miles. The artificial stonework of the monument effectively transduces EM fields from localized infrasound resonance.

The sharp geometric design of the giant disc-like structure (which some claim might be a UFO) displays parallel corridors with flat, vertical walls and horizontal terraces forming perfect 90° angled corners that can be clearly observed in the latest digital animations by Ocean X.

The most conspicuous man-made geometric structure on this massive stepped platform monument is a large hemispherical dome feature emerging from the slimy silt that likely served to focus ultra and infrasonic waves into a hemispherical inner chamber, accessed from the adjacent recessed corridor.

The elevated position of the submerged Atlantean temple site provides for slightly greater current flow over the structure. This has reduced the total amount of silt deposit on the monument over the course of 14,000 years since its cataclysmic submersion. The upper platforms of the sunken temple are covered in only 10-20cm of silt, which allowed the Ocean X divers to discern huge geometric symbols cast into the ancient cement building that represent Paleo-Sanskrit hieroglyphs of an ancient culture.

“The 2 meter hole with a square around it” described by lead investigator Dennis Aasberg forms a sacred votive ligature combining the symbols of a square and a dot at its center. The square glyph represents a planet, while the dot represents a numeral, together reading: Indra , meaning “Jupiter, the One”.

baltic_sea_monument6This phrase was also airbrushed in charcoal paint on the 19,000 year old geopolymer limestone cement walls of Lascaux Cave, France, as a square with a long row of dots reiterating “Jupiter, the One, the One…”

The same Atlantean votive phrase was cast in hieroglyphic format multiple times in magnetized basalt stonework at the Puma Punku megalithic temple, constructed 11,000 years ago at Tiwanaku, Bolivia. Elevated square healing platforms referencing the transduced infrasonic resonance of the plasma giant Jupiter are prominently featured at both Puma Punku and the Baltic Sea monument.

The circular format of the entire temple and its singular dome present the Paleo-Sanskrit numeral ‘1’ used by Atlantean spiritual traditions to praise “The One”—the universal divine creative force. Reinforcing this phrase are Edgar Cayce’s statements concerning the spiritual tenets of “The Law of One”:

“[I]n that sojourn in the earth environment in what is called Poseidia, in Atlantis… we find there had been the separating into groups… The Sons of Belial were… those that sought more the gratifying, the satisfying, the use of material things for self… those without a standard of morality… save of self, self-aggrandizement.

The other group, those who followed the Law of One,  had a standard… Their standard was that the soul was given by the Creator or entered from outside sources into the projection of the mental and spiritual self at the given periods. That was the standard of the Law of One, but was rejected by the Sons of Belial…

[These opposing groups directed] those forces that came with the use of the light that formed the rays upon which the influence from without was crystallized into what would become as the sound from the outer realm to the static or individual realm.

These were not only the rays from the sun, set by the facets of the stones as crystallized from the heat from within the elements of the earth itself, but were as the combination of these… For it was these gases, these influences that were used for what we call today the conveniences as for light, heat, motivative forces; or radial activity, electrical combinations; the motivative forces of steam, [HHO] gas and the like for the conveniences.

The use of these influences by the Sons of Belial brought, then, the first of the upheavals; or the turning of the etheric rays’ influence from the Sun–as used by the Sons of the Law of One  into the facet for the activities of same– produced what we would call a volcanic upheaval; and the separating of the [Atlantean] land into several islands –five in number. (Reading 877-26)”

Cayce’s detailed trance statements identified a technological class of Atlantean crystalline stone consisting of a “combination” of “the elements of the Earth,” corresponding to the modern scientific definition of a geopolymer, of the same class as the reconstituted limestone blocks of the Great Pyramid.

Modern Vedic language traditions in India have preserved the Sanskrit technical term for this advanced type of artificial metallic geopolymer stone, based on the root word anala, meaning ‘fire’. This type of manufactured stone was designed to ignite HHO plasma around the Atlantean pyramids and monuments, and was commonly known as analopala, meaning ‘fire-stone’. (This term does not refer to simple flint rocks that are struck to produce sparks, as the word ‘flint’ is specified by the Sanskrit ‘agniprastara’.)

Further details were offered on the subject of synthetic stone over the course of decades of readings given by Edgar Cayce for individuals with past lives in the Atlantean lands, naming the scientific leader and inventor of Atlantean firestone geopolymer as ‘Ajax of Ode’, called Ax-tell in the area of present-day Egypt:

“The entity came from the Atlantean land into Egypt when there were those periods of reconstruction in the land, and from those turmoils and strifes there arose much that made for individual and group development –and the attempt of those in the experience to foster… those things that were good… The entity came then, in the name Ax-tell, from those forces that were in charge of the Law of the One. (Reading 487-17)

About the firestone that was in the experience did the activities of the entity then make those applications that dealt with both the constructive and destructive forces in the period… The preparation of this stone was in the hands only of the initiates at the time… that directed the influences of the radiation that arose in the form of the rays that were invisible to the eye but that acted upon the stones themselves… (Reading 440-5)

The stones… were of the magnetized influence upon which the Spirit of the One spoke to those peoples as they gathered in their service, are of the earliest Atlantean activities in religious service… (Reading 5750-1)”

These astonishingly detailed descriptions of advanced technological and spiritual means of the Atlantean civilization, spoken in trance in the 1930sprovide a viable explanation for odd EM vortex phenomena experienced by the Ocean X team at the sunken Baltic Sea Monument, as recounted by Peter Lindberg:

“Electronic disturbances with equipment started on the water’s surface, but it was on their way down to the anomaly that the problems increased. The satellite phone didn’t work when the boat was directly over the object, but just some tens of meters away from [that exact] position they worked again…

Electrical problems were experienced on all expeditions to the anomaly. The camera stopped working, lamps stopped working, satellite phones stopped working, [and we experienced] some technical issues with the robot. [The] electrical camera [on the ROV and the] BlueView [multibeam imaging sonar] function stopped working…

A strong radio signal of 40-50 megahertz was picked up when they were near the object. (Dennis [Aasberg] said that [the signal] wasn’t coming from the [seafloor] object.)”

baltic_sea_monument9After a series of EM field-induced equipment malfunctions including a perpetually spinning magnetometer and several electrical short-outs that rendered their ROV inoperable during their June, 2012 expedition, Ocean X divers finally managed to obtain a few small hand samples from the sunken monumental structure for submission to multiple laboratories in Sweden and Israel for comprehensive material analyses.

A multilayered, roughly rectangular sample of the stone-like material composing the monument was found laying on its surface, under several centimeters of silt at a depth of 85m. The sample was subsequently broken into several fragments for conducting various petrological analyses, including chemical resistance tests, morphological characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and determinations of elemental composition by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

An initial visual inspection reveals an abundance of fine metallic inclusions throughout the stone-like material that appears to have been reconstituted from a finely pulverized mixture of basalt, quartz and tourmaline, conferring piezoelectric properties to the composite artificial basalt material.

Tests conducted by the Weizmann Institute and Tel Aviv University’s Institute of Archaeology included SEM imaging of the artificial basalt sample, exposing a variety of distinctive features not found in naturally crystallized volcanic basalt. Instead, these features characterize ancient magnetic geopolymer basalt and andesite now conclusively identified at multiple sites dating to the Paleolithic period of high civilization.

The sample taken from the object was analyzed by the Weizmann Institute in Israel. Their tests indicate this is no ordinary rock. It contains abnormally high concentrations of titanium, manganese and iron. The metals are all key materials in the manufacture of high-tech aerospace components.

EDS results identified high metal concentrations of iron, manganese and titanium elevated far above standard abundance values for natural, geologically-formed specimens. Manganese and titanium are paramagnetic metals not found in pure states in nature, but as mineral compounds. Iron is ferromagnetic.

The interspersed particulate combination of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic metals with piezoelectric crystals observed in Atlantean firestone represents a high-efficiency semiconductor material that converts and amplifies all frequencies of electromagnetic energy into an EM vortex surrounding the construction.

The high-tech metallic composition of reconstituted basalt comprising the Baltic Sea Monument decisively indicates a man-made origin for the extensive site as an ancient geopolymer fabrication, matching similarly manufactured stones from Paleolithic pyramid complexes in Visoko, Bosnia; Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia; and La Maná, Ecuador.

The advanced technological remains of such Paleo-Sanskrit civilization are closely linked with the work of Nikola Tesla. Atlantean pyramids, stepped monuments and megalithic temples conform to a global wireless power and telecommmunications network displaying a spherical Fibonacci distribution pattern defined by the quantum function [ zn+1 = zn2 ]. Infrasound is transduced and focused by Atlantean temples through the same standing wave resonance principles rediscovered by Tesla in 1899.

The function of the Baltic Sea Monument’s enigmatic stair-stepped feature is also hinted at in the Life Readings on Atlantis given by Edgar Cayce. He explains that Atlantean society included humanoid species of various sizes, from diminutive dwarf species to extraordinarily giant humanoid species:

Q:  Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs and costumes of the people of Atlantis..
A:  These took on many sizes as to stature, from that as may be called the midget to the giants, for there were giants in the earth in those days, men as tall as ten to twelve feet in stature, and in proportion—well proportioned throughout. (Reading 364-11)

The sunken monument’s unusually slanted staircase was specially designed for use by 1m dwarves on the far left side, by humans on the mid-left and by 4m giants on the right side of the wide-access staircase. This group included the ‘little people’ known to Shoshone culture as Nimerigar (ie. the ‘Pedro’ mummy), and the Nephalim of Biblical legend—a giant, domineering extraterrestrial species associated with human sacrifice—best known from skulls excavated at Paracas, Peru (the Paracas Skulls).

The many profound sociological, technological, historical and linguistic implications of the Baltic Sea Monument have certainly contributed to Swedish Naval interference with the Ocean X marine expedition in June of 2012, as reported by team leader Dennis Aasberg. He asks the obvious, unanswered question: “Why does the [Swedish] military want to take part in this [marine site investigation]?… What do you think? Perhaps they already know what [it is that] we have found?”

The strong 40-50 MHz signal registered in the immediate vicinity of the massive Atlantean monument corresponds to a very high frequency (VHF) sonar beam, most likely emitted from the group of six command ships deployed by the Swedish Navy to intercept the June, 2012 expedition. The Naval group waylaid and actively disrupted Ocean X investigators by beaming the monument with high-intensity sonar, intentionally overloading electronics with the strong EM field resonantly transduced by the firestone.

baltic_sea_monument12Subversive goals being pursued by the Swedish military pertain to the ongoing worldwide governmental black-out of ‘free energy’ technology embodied by ancient pyramid complexes on every continent. Wide ridge formations at the Baltic Sea site have been recognized by Ocean X researchers as elevated causeways linking the main circular monument to two nearby megalithic structures that have been only partially revealed by initial side-scanning sonar surveys.

The Baltic Sea Monument is part of an extensive megalithic complex dating to the remote Paleolithic era, much like the gargantuan complex of stepped platform monuments, temples, caves, plazas, roadways and a complete amphitheater documented at the submerged site just offshore at Yonaguni Island, Japan. The same oppressive scenario surrounds the discovery of a submerged pyramid site in the Azore Islands, as Portuguese military involvement has effectively prevented release of further details on the subject.

These giant structures constitute resonant platforms for sophisticated bioelectrical qi healing practices that have been preserved in strict secrecy by adepts of the Buddhist spiritual traditions of Southeast Asia.

As for the Ocean X team’s Baltic Sea site investigation, the Swedish military along with TitanTV Media, delayed film editing for six months without explanation and effectively silenced Aasberg’s team with piecemeal project funding and mandatory non-disclosure agreements offered under the guise of purchasing film rights to all data produced by the investigation.

Since 2011 this discovery continues to be embroiled in scientific controversy. Some scientists are actually claiming the structure is a natural geological formation—even the stairs. Yet, no one has been able to explain the strange EM phenomena coming from the site. Consequently, the finding has been appropriately dubbed the “Baltic Sea Anomaly.” As new testing is revealed, some day we may actually put this controversy to rest. It would be great to finally put Atlantis back on the map.

“I’ll Have the Edward Snowden Room, Please”

22min2101snowden

On a recent business trip, I happened to have a 12-hour layover in the Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. Without a Russian Visa, I couldn’t leave the airport and was virtually confined to temporary international limbo.

I secured a room at the small Capsule Hotel located inside the airport in Terminal E. Sound familiar?

It was hard to find. The hotel’s modest entrance is hidden in an unobtrusive corner of the airport you can easily miss. It doesn’t look like a hotel. It looks like a door to an employee lounge. It’s located right across from a glass-enclosed area where stranded travelers, with rumpled blankets and pillows, sleep on a matted floor waiting for their next day flights.

I was lucky to get a room for the night at around $114 USD. I asked the late night receptionist on duty whether this facilityimg_3754 was the same “Capsule Hotel” Edward Snowden stayed at when the U.S. government revoked his passport while en route to Ecuador, leaving him stuck in the Russian airport without valid travel documents.

“Yes,” she admitted, having probably been asked the same question at least a thousand times. It was almost midnight, but I was suddenly curious to see where this national security risk had spent six long weeks.

“I’ll have the Edward Snowden room, please,” I said. She didn’t say a word. Didn’t even crack a smile. Just handed me my room key. I will never know if it was “The” room, but it was the smallest little prison-like cell I’ve ever stayed overnight in. I couldn’t fathom being stuck there for over a month not even able to wander the terminal.

img_3747This past week I saw the Oliver Stone movie “Snowden” where they showed his Moscow Airport room. Yep, definitely like mine. It brought back memories of not only my own brief stay, but all that has happened since 2013 as a result of this brave man’s act.

If you haven’t seen the Snowden movie, I strongly encourage you to see it. Snowden is not some low-level hacker as initially painted by President Obama. This is a man who had very high level security clearances, as well as a strong sense of moral and ethical values. He wanted to do what he felt was right for his country.

No matter what side you fall on regarding his actions, you have to admit that Snowden not only changed our world, but also how the entire intelligence community now works. That’s an incredible accomplishment.

Here’s a list of a few things which came out of Snowden’s NSA surveillance leaks:

  1. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CIISPA), an “information sharing” bill was indefinitely shelved. The intelligence community protested the hold-up, but the reconsideration of this privacy-destroying legislation was probably the most positive effect Snowden has had in Congress. The bill, which was universally condemned by civil liberties advocates when it passed the House in 2012 and 2013, would have given the NSA even more access to Americans’ personal data – along with more immunity to the companies who would have free reign to hand over that data to the spy agency.
  2. There were two-dozen reform bills which were introduced by elected representatives, recommending broad changes to the structure and power of the NSA. Consequently, the House passed a bill that would stop bulk collection of phone metadata. U.S. District Federal Court Judge Richard Leon said the NSA phone surveillance program was “unconstitutional”.
  3. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had to admit he lied to Congress after being asked, under oath, if the NSA collected data on millions, or hundreds of millions, of Americans. (You can watch his actual false testimony in the film “Snowden”.)
  4. The big tech companies started fighting for user privacy rights, adding encryption measures for email after the revelation that the NSA was accessing company servers via its PRISM program. Ordinary internet users suddenly became aware that their personal privacy was being violated and began fighting back.
  5. News organizations, including The Guardian, adopted SecureDrop, an open-source whistleblower submission system from the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
  6. British spy agencies MI5 and GCHQ had never faced a public hearing in front of Parliament until Snowden’s stories were leaked. It was the first ever open intelligence hearing.
  7. Privacy suddenly became a business model for many start-ups and governments. The United Nations started an investigation into NSA and GCHQ practices and German prosecutors announced the opening of a criminal inquiry into bulk spying on Germany’s citizens, as well as the tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone.

And the list goes on…

In the wake of the Snowden film, several human rights organizations are now demanding that President Obama pardon Snowden. The controversy is over the U.S. government wanting to try Snowden as a spy under the Espionage Act of 1917 instead of under the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, which protects federal whistleblowers who report agency misconduct. If tried as spy, the deck would certainly be stacked against him.

The Washington Post editorial was widely criticized by other journalists after declaring Snowden should not be pardoned. This is especially ironic since the Post won a Pulitzer Prize on the reporting of the Snowden leaks. The House Intelligence Committee also urged no pardon be given, even though they admit Snowden’s leaks brought about positive reform. So is he a traitor or a patriot hero?

The Guardian newspaper fought back claiming there is no known evidence that Snowden provided any NSA documents to a “foreign adversary”. He left it to The Guardian’s security experts to choose what to publish or not.

“I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.” — Edward Snowden

Snowden will always go down in history as a catalyst for global change. We all needed to be awakened to government acts against its own citizens. Truth and transparency is the ultimate goal for any nation. It’s the true litmus test for evolutionary growth or a nation’s path towards self-destruction.

” A system that is built on lies and fabrications cannot triumph forever.” – Friedrich Hegel

Personally, I say: “Thank you Edward Snowden for helping raise our consciousness to the Truth.”

Electile Dysfunction in the Age of Conspiracy Theory

As we get closer to November 8th election day, the daily news feeds read more like a cliff-hangar of “who done what”. Congress is investigating Hillary’s email server, WikiLeaks is getting ready to release more damning emails, and the most recent Democratic National Committee email leaks show a corrupt pay-to-play government at work where every office and/or ambassadorship has a pricetag. It’s become a roller coaster ride—a cocaine high for news and political junkies alike. Never before has the news been so sad or as entertaining, depending on who you ask. It’s completely polarized entire families as they try to tell each other who lies, who is more corrupt, who will ruin the nation and, ultimately, who they had better vote for if they’re smart. We are a nation with a chronic case of Electile Dysfunction.

clinton-collapse-696x385For over a year now, the mainstream media has accused the alternative media of promoting outlandish conspiracy theories regarding Hillary’s health. The September 11th video, showing an ill Hillary being propped up and helped into her van, after losing balance and stumbling, finally made the health issue real for the mainstream media. They could no longer be in complete denial. The video is visual proof that something is seriously wrong. Even veteran NBC news correspondent, Tom Brokaw, called for a release of full neurological records on NBC’s Meet the Press. It’s not an unrealistic request for anyone running for the highest office in the land. And due to a public-perceived high dishonesty factor, many are not buying the official story that Hillary is suffering only from dehydration and pneumonia. Is a little truth too much to ask from either of these candidates?

Now in a weird twist of karmic fate, the mainstream media is under those same accusations of being conspiracy theorists after embracing and running with the story that forensic pathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu, believes Hillary is being poisoned by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. I kid you not.

Dr. Omalu, portrayed by actor Will Smith in the movie “Concussion,” rose to prominence after discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased NFL players. On his Twitter account, he called for a complete toxicology analysis to be done on Hillary’s blood.

Most would laugh this off but The Washington Post actually ran with the story, citing Omalu’s “credentials and tenacity are well-known” —as if this alone gives his theory truth and validity. The Post’s reporter lends credence to Omalu’s theory based on an unsubstantiated British inquiry in 2006 that Putin may have been responsible for poisoning former KGB agent, Alexander Litvinenko. Other media outlets were quick to spread the Washington Post story, as shown from a Google search on the subject.

Lately Mr. Putin has been accused of a myriad of transgressions. They blame him for all the DNC hacks, even though U.S. security intelligence experts say the leaks were most likely a DNC “inside job.” Now he is allegedly colluding with Donald Trump to kill Hillary. Has the media gone mad or is this just another form of denial? It doesn’t matter what side you fall on, Hillary does appear to have some long-term health issues that are certainly questionable.

While Omalu may be mistaken in his Putin/Trump poisoning theories, his calling for a complete toxicology analysis is probably not such a bad idea. I’m sure Hillary’s doctor runs routine lab tests for therapeutic drug monitoring (with results usually available within  24-48 hours), but has she had a full toxicology analysis which could show hidden factors? These results can take weeks or months to get complete results. Hillary could be suffering toxicity from her prescribed cocktail mix of medications. According to Hillary’s medical records, she has been on blood thinners for blood clots since 1998, first Lovenox then Coumadin. Coumadin has a bad rep for serious side effects and many physicians no longer prescribe it, opting for newer and safer anticoagulants.

From updated medical records released by Hillary’s doctor on September 14, she is also “temporarily” taking the antibiotic Levaquin (the Levaquin damages lawsuits are rampant). Fact sheets on Levaquin tell you to avoid sunlight and being out in the heat (Hillary should have skipped the 9/11 ceremony). Since antibiotics can have “life threatening” interactions with blood thinners, such as Coumadin, one has to wonder if advice is being given or just not heeded.

There are also some contraindications for Coumadin being jointly prescribed with Armour Thyroid, which Hillary also takes for hypothyroidism. Is it any wonder television physician Dr. Drew Pinsky questioned her doctor’s competence for prescribing these meds? The wrong medication combination and dosage can bring on side effects such as seizures, fainting, muscle weakness, nerve damage, suppressed immunology (pneumonia), dehydration bouts, frequent urination, and even diabetes. Some of these symptoms have already been reported in the press.

One has to ask if HIllary’ symptoms are side effects from a cocktail mix of medications or is the root cause something more serious? To put rumors to rest, Hillary should have the blood test for Parkinson’s Disease and release x-ray pictures of her CT Scan. Better yet, have an MRI done to give a clearer picture. It should be mandatory that every presidential candidate undergo a complete physical by an independent medical facility. This would prevent false rumors and conspiracy theories.

So Mrs. Clinton, if your listening, please have a thorough toxicology analysis done on your blood, release those other tests to show the American public what is or isn’t wrong, and please get better. Maybe then all those conspiracy theorists can finally stop blaming the Russians for everything.

Life is All About How You Handle “Plan B”

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
― Albert Einstein

Being flexible and able to quickly shift gears to a “Plan B” mode is not only a key to success, but also an indicator of how physically and emotionally healthy you are.

My father, a Horatio Alger type success story, who didn’t graduate from high school, often told me to never give up when things don’t work out as planned. There are always other options available. Wise advice and so true. Sometimes Plan B can be just as good, if not better, than Plan A.

Over the years, I have watched friends and/or clients fall apart when plans go awry—sometimes over very minor things. They may get so stuck and paralyzed in what happened or could have been, that they oftentimes are unable to move forward. Eventually we all experience the loss of money, careers, possessions, and/or relationships. Nothing is finite. Staying malleable is key.

I recalled this sage advice a few weeks ago when I was passing through the Roma Termini train station in Italy and all my money, credit cards, and driver’s license were stolen, leaving me penniless.

Let me back up and explain. I wanted to take a scenic train ride through the countryside of Italy, so instead of making a flight connectionroma-termini-railway-station between Rome and Pisa, I opted for a 3+ hour train ride through the rolling hills of Tuscany.

I should have been immediately clued in to potential danger when a seemingly nice man, under the pretense of giving travelers directions, tried to grab my suitcase and help show me the way to the terminal’s ladies room. I had to practically arm wrestle my luggage back from him, which I did.

This was almost immediately followed by another encounter as I waited on the train platform watching for my track number to be displayed. A young woman, sporting a tummy bump, came up to me, her hands folded in prayer beseeching Santa Lucia and Santa Maria, begging me for a few coins for medical care for her unborn child.

I knew she was conning me. In fact, I was pretty sure that tummy bump was either a pasta belly or foam padding, but I had to give it to her for really working her act. I pulled out my wallet and gave her one Euro, for performance factor alone. She continued thanking me just as my train track was called and I had to make a quick dash.

I barely managed a seat on the packed train and as it pulled out of the station, I opened my purse looking for that package of M&M peanuts I had purchased for the long ride. Not only were my M&Ms gone, but so was my wallet. My passport, in a separate zippered pocket, was thankfully still there.

Pickpocket-SignsFrom a remote viewing perspective, I flashed on the beggar woman thanking me for the Euro I had given her, while another woman was reaching into my purse from behind, seconds after putting my wallet away. Despite the fact that my purse strap was placed across my chest, the opening firmly closed, they had still managed to rob me undetected—even steal my candy.

Unfortunately, no one had warned me about the Romanian gypsies who work in teams throughout the Roma train station. The place is a virtual den of thieves, but I hadn’t seen any of the warning signs they allegedly post in the terminal. Welcome to Italy!

And so, on my first day in Italy, I was alone without money (they took about $1100 in cash) as well as my credit cards. There was no going back, only forward. My mind immediately shifted to Plan B mode. From the train, I started calling my credit companies to cancel my cards. I knew it would be too risky to have replacement cards sent overnight to where I was going. Neither could I have my assistant, back home, Western Union me sufficient travel funds. The situation looked bleak.

It then occurred to me that there was someone in Italy who owed me money and they had planned on giving me a bank check upon meeting up. Instead of holding on to the check for deposit later in the U.S., I hoped I could find a way to cash it for Euros. This option seemed the most viable and it in fact worked after some Italian bank maneuvering. As a result, I had a great vacation on those funds.

While I was able to pull off a successful Plan B solution, sometimes it’s not always that easy. I know I will never retrieve the lost money the gypsies stole from me. It was a rather expensive lesson in how easily one can be duped, yet I still manage to laugh at it. Out of something bad can always come something good. I did manage to meet a rather handsome Carabinieri police commander who helped me make a loss report for U.S. tax and insurance purposes. My meeting him and his second in command, then proved to be a useful connection for my Italy friend. This became a true example of how we are all interconnected.

There are those who believe you should never have a Plan B. That you should always stay focused on your Plan A goal and never give up. But let’s face it, life doesn’t always go as we plan it. Sometimes our higher self has other lessons in store for us that we never see coming.

Moving to Plan B is not a coward’s fall-back plan. It serves a purpose, a purpose that a strategist has envisioned and planned before the need for an alternate solution surfaces. Sometimes a Plan B occurs out  of the necessity of the moment and you just have to go with the flow. It truly can be about how fast one can think on their feet and handle their new life plan.

One of my friends told me that the Dali Lama once said: “I can have great compassion for those in distress, but it doesn’t mean I have to invite them to dinner.” To me it means I don’t have to help every beggar on the street. I’ve learned that sometimes the people I have helped the most in life, come back to bite me later. This doesn’t mean turning one’s back on helping people truly in need, but it does point to a lesson of being more discerning about who we do and do not choose to help. Taking this to a global scale, being discerning as to what information is truthful and what is not is an important part of enlightenment and self-discovery—something we are all working on.

During my stay in Italy, my friends started proposing everything in terms of, “Okay. What’s our Plan B?” There were even times we had to move to a Plan C and even Plan D.  It’s important to remember that life is often an exercise in the art of flexibility.
