New Year Reflections

[Don Barone]

Hi all ... well I am into my third rum and coke and so this might not be as coherent as it could have been but what the heck. Upon reflection I got my computer in April of 1999 ... for me a life changing moment ... for it had arrived at the perfect moment in my life to take advantage of my enlightenment or Kundalini or call it what you will that I experienced in October of 1998, the experience which I have well documented. When I think back to those days I cannot believe how naïve I was, not even having a single clue about the dynasties of Egypt and thinking ... well I simply did not have a clue. Although many pointed out my errors they were very kind in not calling me out for my complete lack of knowledge on Ancient Egypt and even to this day I cannot believe how kind they were. Firm in their condemnation of my ideas but tempered in their rebuttals. In my first month on line I stumbled onto the site "Ancient Sites" (I think) where I signed up as "Ahatmose Amenhotep" and it was there that they taught me to build websites which I immediately took to and now have almost 300 (not all reachable) ... it was a chance meeting and marriage that would keep me fulfilled for the next 18 years. Along the way I became an almost expert on Poussin, Teneirs and Rennes le Chateau but the true life changer was running across some post from a certain Clive Ross who had the audacity to claim that Giza was The World's Oldest Book of Astronomy. For me I would spent the rest of my life up to the present following his dream and his ideas on this astronomy book idea. But sadly the neurons have slowed their firing power, my mind has difficulty keeping focused for the length of time needed for new research and basically I am just dead tired ...

But I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of this forum and all the others I have posted on for that matter. I doubt whether I have another "discovery" in me and I really am very tired of my calculator. I try but the fire is just not there. I lament my slowing down but hey ... that's life I guess. Washed up at 67 ? Well I hope not but ...

So please take to heart John Lennon's words when he wrote ...

So this is Christmas ... and what have you done ?
Another year over and a new one just begun ...

Let's hope that next year when we sing this song we have plenty of good things to report ...

So on behalf of my wife of 36 years Carol and my eldest daughter Angelica who is engaged to Marc a fine young man and to the youngest Marianna who carries within her the next generation of "Barones" ... may I simply say ...

May you have the most joyous New Year imaginable ...

With Love ... The Barones and The Goddards (Marianna's married name)

Emhotep!

I second this, Don, you and I both learned much over the years. I knew about as much of Egypt as you did but we're swift learners , besides, the Ancients have much more in store for us to know. I have been looking at the "false doors" which I actually saw at Saqqara, but have been very busy.

New Year's Eve, what a feeling, I'll spend it with myself in reflection of 2017 and life in general, and welcome the new year as we and Humanity follow our destiny upward. What a great wife, thy Carol, to survive 36 years with you

Wishing you and your family, and our guests a very good 2018, as someone said to me yesterday: any healthy year is a good one.

All we need is Love, God is Love, says Father Ceko.

New Year Greetings!

We made it through 2017 mit ach und krach, on with high hopes for 2018.



Congratulations to Ringo Starr and Barry Gibb who are to be knighted this year. The Queen might rightfully bestow the honour to John and George, then to be known as "The Four Great Knights of Liverpool".
