Earth Ancients

Undeniably, there is significant evidence suggesting that the Olmec civilization, which appeared in a fully formed state in Mexico sometime around 1500 BCE, adopted many elements of Hindu temple architecture, yogic practices and deities, as well as Chinese artistic styles, traditions, and the Shang script. These striking correlations can be effectively explained by migrations from Asia, most likely from the Xia or Shang dynasty of China. This was by no means the first wave of migration from Asia, or the last. Bibhu Dev Misra is an independent researcher and writer on ancient mysteries, cultural connections, spirit science, and cosmic wisdom.

Gary A. David is an author and independent researcher who has been intrigued by the American Southwest since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he lived for about six months in northern New Mexico, where he studied archaeological ruins and rock art. In 1994 he moved to Arizona and began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi. In 2006 after more than a decade of fieldwork and scholarly inquiry, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cites of the American Southwest was published. This volume describes a pattern of Hopi villages and ruin sites that precisely mirrors Orion, with an ancient site corresponding to each major star in the constellation. (See map page.)

SPECIAL EDITION OF EARTH ANCIENTS emerging field of intuition development. In her new book, she takes readers beyond the intuition basics and introduces them to the next step--a more advanced form of intuitive perception called spiritual telepathy.This book provides the ancient mind-training techniques that will allow you to access the wisdom and guidance of your own soul. These techniques, once taught in the ancient mystery schools come from a body of knowledge called the Ageless Wisdom.The Wisdom teachings tell us that the soul is our gateway to the higher worlds. Through the soul, we have access to the universal or divine mind where information on all subjects can be found. In the past, it's been only the "special" people--our saints, shamans and spiritual leaders--who have had access to the higher worlds. Colleen assures us that we can all gain access to that universal wellspring of inspiration and knowledge.Colleen Mauro has thirty years of experience in magazine publishing, including work as a publisher, editor, advertising director, and circulation and marketing consultant. A lifelong interest in the untapped powers of the mind led her to the launch of Intuition magazine in 1988. Intuition explored the higher potential of the mind and the many and varied ways of knowing - intuition, inspiration and telepathy - providing both research and how-to information in easy-to-read form for the general reader.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

A forgotten pyramid. An ancient curse. A real-life archaeological adventure.Since the 1800s rumours have circulated about an ancient pyramid, built on an immense scale, hidden deep in the jungles of Samoa.

In the tradition of Lost City of Z and In the Kingdom of Ice, former San Francisco Chronicle journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist William Carlsen reveals the remarkable story of the discovery of the ancient Maya. Enduring disease, war, and the torments of nature and terrain, Stephens and Catherwood meticulously uncovered and documented the remains of an astonishing civilization that had flourished in the Americas at the same time as classic Greece and Rome—and had been its rival in art, architecture, and power. Their masterful book about the experience, written by Stephens and illustrated by Catherwood, became a sensation, hailed by Edgar Allan Poe as “perhaps the most interesting book of travel ever published” and recognized today as the birth of American archaeology. By the time of the flowering of classical Greece (400 b.c.), the Maya were already constructing pyramids and temples around central plazas. Within a few hundred years the structures took on a monumental scale that required millions of man-hours of labor, and technical and organizational expertise. Over the next millennium, dozens of city-states evolved, each governed by powerful lords, some with populations larger than any city in Europe at the time, and connected by road-like causeways of crushed stone. The Maya developed a cohesive, unified cosmology, an array of common gods, a creation story, and a shared artistic and architectural vision. They created stucco and stone monuments and bas reliefs, sculpting figures and hieroglyphs with refined artistic skill. At their peak, an estimated ten million people occupied the Maya’s heartland on the Yucatan Peninsula, a region where only half a million now live. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

We have been dreaming for all of our 3 million or more years of existence. Dreams provide an extraordinary way to process the day’s events and uncover new perspectives. Many cultural creatives credit their world-changing creations to their dreams, and science now believes that dreams helped evolve the very process of thought itself.In this book, Stephen Larsen and Tom Verner examine dream traditions from around the world, beginning with the oldest records from ancient Egypt, India, Greece, and Australia and expanding to shamanic and indigenous societies. The authors investigate the psychology of dreaming, the neuroscience behind the dreaming brain, the Jungian perspective, and the intersections of yoga and modern dream research. They show how dreams and myth are related in the timeless world of the Archetypal Imagination and how dreams often reveal the wishes of the soul. They explore the practice of dream incubation, an age-old tradition for seeding the unconscious mind to help solve problems and gain deep insights. They examine the profound role that dreams have played in the survival of exploited and persecuted cultures, such as the Native Americans, African slaves, and the Jews during the Holocaust, and share inspirational dream stories from exceptional woman dreamers such as Hildegard von Bingen, Joan of Arc, and Harriet Tubman.Drawing on their more than 50 years’ experience keeping dream journals, the authors offer techniques to help you remember your dreams and begin to work with them. They also explore the clairvoyant and telepathic dimensions of dreaming and the practices of lucid dreaming and shamanic dreaming. Revealing how the alchemical cauldron of dreaming can bring inspiration, healing, and discovery, the authors show how dreams unite us with each other and the past and future dreamers of our world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Janet Hizar Hansford is a visionary author and scholar who dares to look at the genesis of this planet and the human species from reputable non-traditional sources—ranging from obscure to fantastic. Respectful of science, she reasons that this point of view only supplies partial answers, and falls short in answering the truly profound questions of human existence. History needs a revisionist author like Dr. Hansford. In the last decade or two, a new breed of explorer has arisen from the ranks of scholarly pursuits of our human heritage. These are the risk takers and the deep thinkers with a penchant for travel and independent inquiry. Anthrogenesis, her first book in this genre, brings forth unique gems of knowledge from the ancient literature, modern savants and the inscrutable wisdom seekers of the early twentieth century- the Theosophists. It contains nuggets of information that fit together to reveal a new picture of evolution and our place in the galaxy.Dr. Janet Hizar Hansford received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from William Lyon University, San Diego, California. She also holds an M.S. in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Fullerton and a B.S., with Honors, in Human Services from California State University, Fullerton. She is a trained ‘Ericksonian’ hypnotherapist and certified EMDR practitioner, licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
