PHOENIX - BENU - THE FIREBIRD

June 1999:

Lately I have been finding feathers, neatly left for me to discover - and always near a door. (I guess on another level - a door can be seen as a portal or interdimensional doorway between third dimension Earth and another realm).

I began to look for feather symbols again as if with each time I look - I will discover a new meaning.

Many of the Mythological Gods wore feathers and/or things we connect with birds - often bird heads.

We are 'programmed' to think of our God as somewhere in another realm high in the 'sky'.

Though some cultures still worship physical objects as Gods - most of us look to a higher source ofcreational energy that links to all of us together.

We have pieced together the clues and know that one soul has played these roles. That soul apparently left clues for us that linked our current timelines to a moment in time when we would fly free and transcend this reality.

When we look at that information we realize that whatever games play-out on the physical planet - there will come that converge (and end) to space / time in which we 'fly' with our wings into the next reality!! Many call that time 'Ascension'.

Several images with transcendence symbols that connect for me

THE PHOENIX

Many civilizations spin the take of a mythological 'fire bird' that burns itself in the flames - then is reborn fromthe ashes beginning a new cycle of time.

The Phoenix is a female mythologcial bird symbolizing immortality, resurrection and life after death.

She is associated with the sun.

She is said burn herself after a certain number of years in a cycle then is reborn from its ashes.

EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY - BENU

In ancient Egyptian mythology she is associated with the sun god. She is called Benu.

Its Egyptian name is "Benu" means as much as "the Ascending One".

This name apparently was being associated during the earlier periods of egyptian history with various birds: the crane, the heron, the stork or the flamingo. Later it was more clearly identified with the heron.

She was a kind of primordial god, which built its nest on the willow which is on the top of the primordial hill.

The deities Re (Ra) - and Atum were akin to the symbolic meaning of the phoenix.

Because of its birdlike nature, the phoenix was called "ba of Re" - the soul of Re.

The soul was believed to be a birdlike spiritual being.

As a deity of creation and life it was also associated with Osiris.

The phoenix was called "the famous ba, which came out of the heart of Osiris".

There was a connection to the deity Kepera (the scarab-god), the Lord of Life and Death.

The phoenix supposedly burns itself in his nest on the hill (sunset) andis being reborn the next morning. The hill is being located on the Flaming Isle of Re in the East, wherethe sun rises.

At Koptos in Egypt, the Bennu bird is depicted with two human arms stretched upwards and outwards toward the star Sothis('Sirius'), which appears in the early sky before the sun rises.

The Phoenix/Bennu bird is said to arise 'at dawn from the waters of the Nile'. It is linked with summer.

This is interesting as again the Egyptian symbols all go back to the same Gods - particularly the sun God, Ra - Amen Ra!

GREEK MYTHOLOGY - BENNU

According to the Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, near a cool well. Every morning at dawn, the sun godwould stop his chariot to listen to the bird sing a beautiful song while it bathed in the well.

Only one phoenix exists at a time. When the bird felt its death was near, every 500 to 1,461 years, it wouldbuild a nest of aromatic wood and set it on fire. The bird then was consumed by the flames.

A new phoenix sprang forth from the pyre. It embalmed the ashes of its predecessor in an egg of myrrhand flew with it to Heliopolis, "city of the sun," where the egg was deposited on the altar of the sun god. InEgypt, it was usually depicted as a heron, but in the classic literature as a peacock or an eagle.

It was held by the ancient Egyptians that the return of the Benu bird to its 'ben-ben' home was a sign of the end of one era and the beginning of another. The subsequent symbolic 'death' of the Benu and the 'birth' of its progeny or 'new self' dramatically made thepoint - a new era was at hand.

Legend says that the home of the Bennu bird is Heliopolis, the 'City of the Sun'.

The Bennu bird is said to have a form that is half-man and half-bird.

It is said to have wings that are red and white, tipped in gold, a 'golden neck', and a breast that is 'scarlet or reddish-gold'.

NOSTRADAMUS

The Nostradamus prophecy tells us that the 'completion of the Great Pyramid' would cause the 'ruin'or 'the end' of something. Taken together, we can suggest that we are being told that an 'old era' is ending, and a 'new era' is about to unfold.

In 1991 I did a past life regression with a friend.   As he was a photographer we decided to take a roll of pictures - in the dark - using infra-red film.We were surprised at what came out on the pictures. Here is one of the images.Notice the Phoenix and Dolphin on the left side of my shirt!These images did not exist on the shirt.  It was just white.These is much more here - as we time traveled (note the arm with the wrist watch crossing over from the left of me passing over my mouth.)

The return of the Dove - from the Keys of Enoch

Note 12 pyramids and the Dove over the US.

Several of the 12 pyramids that link to my stargate - are positioned differently over the Earth than I see them. Most are not in the third dimension.

There are many important clues in this image about transcendence.
