All right, sorry about that. Let's get started right now. First of all, thank you all for coming out. We're going to be talking about Istio Ambient and its security properties. My name is Christian Posta. I'm a global field CTO at solo.io. And I've been working on Istio since actually before May 2017. So I've been part of the founding community, been around for a little bit. Mr. John? I'm John Howard. I'm a software engineer at Google. I also work on Istio. I've been working on Istio for about four years now. I'm a member of the Technical Oversight Committee. I'm excited to talk about Ambient Mesh a bit more. Awesome. Before we get started, I want to ask the audience a couple of quick questions. The first is, how many people that are here are using Istio today? Okay. When I first asked this question in the summer of 2017, it was like, blank stares. I think for each one of you that raised your hand, there's probably like a few hundred out there in the open source project that you represent. And I want to thank you all for using Istio and pushing on it and reporting issues and helping make it better. Kind of covering some of those edge cases that we otherwise wouldn't have seen in an enterprise setting. So thank you all for using Istio and your contributions. The second question I have is, how many people have heard of Ambient Mesh or Ambient Mode? Okay. All right. Good. We will leave resources and links at the end for those of you that haven't. And I think in the roadmap session, we'll cover it a little bit more. But this session is specifically going to focus on the security properties of the Ambient Mode and how it compares to what you would see in sidecars and the default mode right now. So the question and the title of the talk is, is Ambient Mesh secure? And the answer is yes. So thank you all for coming. We can take questions. All right, but let's go in a little bit deeper and dig into it a little bit. Like I said, there's not an intro to Ambient, but I do want to describe what it is for a second and why we started working on it. And so Istio Ambient Mesh is a sidecarless data plane option for the Istio service mesh that we know and love. A big part of why we started building this was to simplify how we onboard applications and get workloads into the mesh without having to inject sidecars and make changes to the deployments and so on. And how we run those workloads and eventually operate on Istio in day two, how we do upgrades and CVE patching and so on. Solving for some of those pesky little corner cases where you're deploying your applications and you see a race condition between the sidecar or psychoproxy and your workloads. So by eliminating the sidecar, we can get rid of some of those issues and make it easier to patch and upgrade Istio because it's all running outside of the application. Some secondary benefits that we do get from Istio Ambient include things, since we're running fewer proxies, we don't have to reserve as many resources for the sidecars and in certain cases we can improve performance. And I think we're going to talk a little bit more about that and share some numbers around performance in the road map. So those are some of the high level reasons why we started working on this approach. Like I said, I'll leave material on links at the end for you to dig in more. But we're going to talk about it from the security standpoint because the way Ambient Mesh has been implemented to facilitate the goals that we were looking to achieve is we separated out the data plane into two distinct layers. The first layer focuses on the security aspects of the Mesh and the second layer which lives on top of this secure overlay focuses more on the layer 7 capabilities that you would expect out of the Service Mesh. Now probably the number one reason why people start looking at adopting a Service Mesh is around security and achieving zero-trust type posture for compliance reasons, regulatory and so on. And so what we've done with Ambient is make it fairly straightforward and easy to onboard the security aspects of the Mesh and that's the secure overlay. And as you start to look closer at some of the details you'll see that that component that's represented with the Z-Tunnel that lives on each of the hosts in a cluster actually starts to push that functionality a little closer down into the CNI or into the networking layers. So we remove it from the applications. We don't have to deploy it as a side car and it runs on each of the hosts. And like I mentioned, the layer 7 capabilities are implemented in this waypoint proxy layer. I'm not going to go into too much detail but just note that this is an additional layer that goes on top of the secure overlay and for time reasons in this talk we're probably not going to cover it too much but again I'm going to leave behind. So let's take a look at what a request path or a connection path might look like in the side car approach to the data plane versus what we've done now in Ambient. So the first thing that you'll probably recognize is that when you install the side car or inject the side car next to your application the application needs to somehow force its traffic through the side car so that it can apply the Mesh behaviors. And in the most default mode, the most user friendly expedient mode when you deploy the side car we run some IP tables that does some redirection in the pod so that the traffic from the application container will make it to the side car. Now there's other modes that you can run. You can run a CNI plug-in that will take care of that stuff outside of the pod ahead of time but generally it's the redirection that happens inside the pod that forces the traffic through the side car. And when you look at a diagram of how traffic moves from one pod to the other certainly across the cluster you'll see that the things like the zero trust, the MTLS and authorization policies these are enabled at that side car level and so this is kind of what that diagram would look like. Now in ambient mode what we've done is we've replaced, we've removed the side cars as I mentioned we've replaced that with a component called the Z-Tunnel and the Z-Tunnel is not a full representation of what you see in the side car. It's not a full blown Layer 7 proxy. The Z-Tunnel just handles opening connections and establishing mutual TLS and so obviously it will need workload certificates and it will map the workloads to certain certificates and then open the connection across the network to destination workload that terminates with another Z-Tunnel living on a host. And this tunnel that we see here is created using an HTTP based overlay. You might hear the term H-Bone, that's the acronym for how we've implemented this but the Z-Tunnel, all it does is it's a very, very focused small piece of infrastructure that is just responsible for opening these connections and establishing mutual TLS. Now the interesting bit in terms of implementation details you may be hearing about, may have seen a blog about is that we didn't use Envoy to implement this. What we found is actually writing this as a custom component to solve just this problem and keep the surface area, surface of attack very low and tight is we've written this component in Rust and again written to be very focused on this use case. And so if you compare what you have deployed in a side car and all of the capabilities that come along with it to what the Z-Tunnel looks like you'll see that we don't do any of the complex Layer 7 handling. All of the various protocols that you'll see and Envoy, MongoDB and Kafka and Redis, all that stuff, that doesn't exist. And typically where you see this complex Layer 7 handling and the complexity is where the opportunity for vulnerabilities might show up. And as I mentioned, we want to keep this Z-Tunnel component as small and compact and focused and keep the attack surface as small as possible. Can't remember is that what you're talking about? Yeah, so we're going to go in kind of a deep dive of the different attack surfaces and compare and contrast how side cars and the ambient mode handle these and what security properties they do or do not hold. But when talking about security it's always useful to kind of contextualize what is our actual attack vectors? What are we trying to protect against? An analogy that I like to use is you can have a block or a super secure lock but if you have an open door next to it, it doesn't matter, right? So we actually need to understand where are the attack vectors? What are we trying to protect against? And then we can accurately compare and contrast them. So kind of the system boundaries that we typically talk about here are the node, the pod, and then the actual application containers. So the node provides one of the strongest boundaries in this. Each node is very strongly isolated, right? They can only really connect to other nodes over the network. That's a lot of where Easter's value is that across network or across node traffic is M2 less encrypted, we can apply policies, et cetera. When we start moving down into the other layers the lines are a bit more blurred. So a pod is generally seen as kind of this isolated unit but really containers in Linux and Kubernetes actually don't provide a super strong security boundary. They do provide some boundaries but it's not as strong as a node boundary, for example. And within a pod, the actual containers if you have multiple containers have an even weaker boundary. So in a typical pod with Easter you would have a sidecar and then the application container. They share a network namespace which means that they actually are completely on the same network. They can access each other's local host, et cetera. And while by default they share or they have their own file systems and process namespaces, et cetera, those can actually be merged and the lines can really get blurred. So there's kind of this decreasing amount of boundaries as we go into the system, which is important to understand. The other thing is like the last radiuses of these boundaries. In general, we're looking at one is like a node attack. If someone malicious gets access to the node, maybe they have root access on the node, what kinds of things can they do? Another one would be if the actual data plane itself, the Z-tunnel or the Envoy is compromised, whether that's some remote, you know, arbitrary code execution vulnerability or something more partial vulnerability, some way they've compromised the data plane. Another one is the application. Very similar just with the application instead of the proxy. This could also be things like a supply chain exploit where they've injected malicious code into the application, you didn't notice and you deployed it to prod and now it's doing unexpected things. So we're going to go through each of these situations and kind of compare and contrast direct head-to-head of Ambient and Sidecar and what kind of properties they get. So if we look at a compromised node, like I said, the node provides kind of one of the strongest security boundaries. So compromising the node is a huge target and gives you a lot of privileges. This is something you do not want to happen. So if you have access to the node, you can view all requests without encryption. You can do a TCP dump on the node and see what's going on. Why this applies to Sidecars is not super intuitive. I have another slide right after this that's going to do a deep dive into that. If you're rude on the node, you can also do anything you want with the proxy. You could stop it. You could start your own one. You could change the code that's running there. You could start your own pods. You have access to Kubelet, which is a highly privileged component. And because, like I said, you have access to Kubelet, you could also do anything with identities running on the node. So Kubernetes does scope the privileges of a node to only things on that node. So it's not like you compromise one node and you have control of the entire cluster. But it is, you can do anything on that node is within your purview. So Sidecars and Ambient really do not provide much difference here in protection. If your node is compromised, generally everything on that node is also compromised. So specifically with kind of the network inspection, if you look at this diagram, it intuitively looks kind of like Sidecars are more secure in this aspect. Like the green line is longer or the red line is longer on Ambient. So it must be less secure. But in practice, this is not really the case because if you have access to the node and you can do like a TCP dump on the node, for example, then you also have privilege to go enter the pod and do a TCP dump within the pod network namespace as well. So while intuitively it may seem like there's this boundary, the fact is that the node compromises an extremely high privilege and it can do a lot of things on the node. So in practice, there's no tangible difference between these two from a security posture. Next thing would be kind of a compromise of the data plane. They don't have access to the entire node, but they found some sort of exploit in Envoy or Ztunnel and they're using that to do malicious things. So in general, in this case, they can configure that data plane to do arbitrary things potentially. So they could send requests that you didn't initiate, they could mutate your request, they could block your request, whatever. This is generally the same in Sidecars and Ambient with one caveat that there's kind of different types of exploits. So if you have a complete remote code execution, you can potentially do anything. But like Christian mentioned, the Ztunnel itself has much less code in it that's doing many fewer things. So there's a lot of areas if you had a partial exploit that you could use existing code in Envoy to do malicious things. While the Ztunnel just doesn't actually do that many things. So if you have a partial exploit, it may be harder to exploit it. The other issue we're looking at is certificates. So in a Sidecar, the actual proxy has access to one certificate for the service count of the pod. And so if the data plan is compromised, they could mint new certificates for that identity, but they don't have access to other identities running on other pods. The issue though is that generally if you're able to compromise Envoy, it's not specific to one specific application. It's an issue in the data plane itself which is run in all of your applications. You run the same Sidecar everywhere. And so the attack is most likely replayable, such that this scoping of which certificates you're able to mint new certificates for is unlikely to remain scoped. In Ambient, it's a pretty similar story. The difference though is that in Ambient, the Ztunnel itself is responsible for all the identities on its node. So if you're only able to exploit one single data plane instance, you would have a larger scope of certificates that you could compromise. Again though, this is scoped to a single node, not the entire cluster. That is all the pods running on that node at that time. Alright, next up would be a compromised application. So like I said, this could be someone remotely exploited your code, or even you just had some supply chain attack where they injected some code that you didn't know would be there. So in this case, the application can do completely arbitrary things depending on what the attack was. There's nothing that a Sidecar or Ambient can do to the behavior, right? We're just there to sit at the border of your application. However, in the Sidecar, because the application and the proxy are running in the same pod, they're in the same trust boundary, and like I said, that boundary is very blurry. So the proxy or the application can do a lot of things like stop the proxy, replace the proxy with their own, bypass the proxy so their request won't go through it. In Ambient, this is not really possible because the Z-Tunnel isn't a completely separate trust boundary. That's enforced at a different layer. So the pod actually doesn't have permission to stop the Z-Tunnel or to stop redirection to the Z-Tunnel, etc. The other thing is that because the boundary for identity in Kubernetes is a pod, while only the Sidecar proxy actually needs a certificate to do things, the application implicitly gets permission to mint its own certificates. So they could similarly mint new certificates just like the data plan exploit we talked about previously. On the other hand, in Ambient, the actual application pods do not need any privilege at all to get MTLs certificates. Only the Z-Tunnel and the waypoints, which we'll talk about later, need this privilege. So generally we can remove that privilege from applications. Another one is if a completely separate node or application from you is compromised. In this case, luckily both Sidecar and Ambient provide the same security guarantees that that application may be doing things that you didn't expect, but we can at least cryptographically verify who they are and apply policies to prevent them from doing things that we don't expect. Finally would be a compromise of the control plane. This is mostly for completeness. The control plane completely programs the data plane's behavior and so it can make it do arbitrary things, remove all your policies, etc. And this applies both to Sidecars and Ambient. Finally, we get to the waypoint proxy. Like Christian said, we don't have enough time to do a deep dive into the waypoint. But at a high level the waypoint proxy is doing one, it's doing end-to-end MTLs from the original client through the Z-Tunnel, through the waypoint back to the Z-Tunnel into the application and it's within the same trust boundary as the server that deploys it. So that's a very very high level summary, but we also feel the waypoint proxy is as secure as Sidecars. If you want to learn more, there's a link here at the bottom and I think also at the end that gives kind of a deep dive more in discussion about the waypoint proxy. Awesome, thank you John. And so wrapping up here in the last few minutes that we have, hopefully it's come across that in a lot of these different attack modes or the blast radius between comparing between the Sidecar and Istio Ambient mode is that the Ambient mode is as secure as the Sidecar approach. However there is actually one big difference and I mentioned it in the beginning I'm curious how many people picked up on it. If you look at a deployment of let's say in a single cluster across multiple nodes with Sidecar you have the proxies deployed out with all the workloads you have the control plane to compare it to a similar diagram of how Istio Ambient is deployed. What's one big difference between those two diagrams? Shout it out. Fewer resources yes? What else? Fewer attack vectors? The data plane is not running with the applications right? And as I mentioned in the beginning the motivating reason for building Ambient was to improve operations and to improve our ability to upgrade and patch the data plane and the service match. And that's extremely important being able to quickly patch vulnerabilities when they're found without impacting the applications is hugely important for keeping your security posture safe. So there is a big difference between Ambient and the Sidecar ease of operations is that difference. So we've run out of time I want to leave some additional resources and how to reach us we will be around here for the rest of Istio Day so happy to take questions and I want to thank you all for coming out listening to this first session.


Create Polish Transitions in your single-page app with the View Transitions API. Bring color to the next level with support for CSS Color Level 4. Discover new DevTools in the Style panel to make the most of the new color functionality. And there's plenty more. I'm Adriana Jara. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 111. Creating smooth transitions on the web is complicated, to say the least. The View Transitions API is here to make creating Polish transitions simpler by snapshotting views and allowing the DOM to change without any overlap between states. The default View Transition is across fade. In the screen, there is a snippet that implements this experience. When a Start View Transition is called, the API captures the current state of the page. Once that is complete, the callback passed to Start View Transition is called. That's where the DOM is changed. Then the API captures the new state of the page and transitions between the states with an animation. Note that the API is launched for single-page apps but support for other models is being implemented too. There are many details to this API, so check out the link in the description for samples and details to create your own custom transitions. With Color Level 4, CSS now supports high-definition displays, specifying colors from HD gamuts while also offering new color spaces. In a nutshell, it means 50% more colors to pick from. And you thought 16 million colors sounded like a lot. I thought so too. The implementation includes the color function. It can be used for any color space that specifies colors with R, G and B channels. Color takes a color space parameter first, then a series of channel values for RGB and optionally some alpha. Here are some examples of using the color function with different color spaces. Check out the link in the description for more documentation to take full advantage of high-definition colors using CSS. Leftools also added features to support the CSS Color Level 4 specification. The Styles pane now supports the 12 new color spaces and 7 new gamuts outlined in the spec. With the updates, CSS Color Definitions with new functions like Color and Color Mix look like this. By the way, when using Color Mix, which enables mixing a percentage of one color into another, you can view the final color output in the computed pane. The Color Picker supports all the new color spaces with more features. For example, when you click on an sRGB color swatch, a gamut boundary line appears, distinguishing between the sRGB and DisplayP3 gamuts for a clearer understanding of your selected color's gamut. Also, the Color Picker converts colors between color formats. Check out the link in the description for more information on debugging color and other new features in DevTools. And of course, there's plenty more. CSS added trigonometric functions, additional root font units, and extended the nth child pseudo selector. The Document Picture-in-Picture API is in origin trial. The previous slide and next slide actions are now part of the media session API. All the details, including links, docs, and specs, are in the post linked in the description.

Yo soy Adriana Jara, and as soon as Chrome 112 is released, I'll be right here to tell you what's new in Chrome.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will learn about audit peer relation and mapping. First of all, let us discuss about audit peer. For this, first of all let us see an example. Now the table which is given here shows three numbers which appear with their cubes. Now this pairing will be shown by means of the following. The audit peer 2 and 8, the next audit peer will be 3, 27 and the next audit peer will be 4, 64. It is the cube of 2, 27 is the cube of 3 and 64 is the cube of 4. So these numbers are paired with their cubes and we have written it in the form of audit peers. Now in the first audit peer 2 is called the first component and 8 is called the second component of this audit peer. Similarly, in the second audit peer 3 is the first component and 27 is the second component. Similarly, in this audit peer also. So we can see these numbers which are 2 and 8, 3 and 27, 4 and 64 in a specific order in which the second component is the cube of the first component whose components see order separating them by a comma and enclosing the peer in parenthesis. We should remember one point that now let us see one example for this here. Let 8 is a search containing the elements 1 and 2. And now we have to form first by using the numbers 1 and 1, 2. Now let us see one more example here. Let A is a search containing the elements and B is a search containing 3. Now we have to form should be from the search A should be from the searching with each element of such B. And the elements of such B are 3 and 4. 1, 3. Now consider the following statements perpendicular to CD 75. 1 and 2 is a subset of sentences between two objects such as A B is perpendicular to CD 75 is greater than 25 is a subset. Relation is the association between two objects by a certain rule by which the first element that is this is a first element which is associated with this second element. Now to clarify this more let us consider some ordered pairs which are 1, 2 and 10s greater than. Now among these added pairs which are satisfied the first component is greater than the second component that means X is greater than Y. And also in which X is greater than Y that means first component is greater than the second component and also 4, 2 in which X is greater than Y the given sentence. The relation was given to us and by using this relation there is a relation components in the ordered pairs the domain of the ordered pairs. This will be equal to the set containing the elements 2, 3 and range will be equal to the set containing the second components. So this will be equal to the set containing the elements 1 and 2 between two sets. Let A and B be two non-empty sets then A to B let A is a set containing the elements and B is a set containing the elements 4, 9 and 36. Now let us see the relation from A to B, A to B. So in the ordered pairs the first component should be from the set A and the second component should be from the set B. And the relation between these two components should be is containing the ordered pairs. The first one will be 2 and the relation between these two is as 3 is the element of A, 9 is the element of B and the relation between these two elements is 3 is the square root of we will get all these ordered pairs. Now let us learn how to represent as we have discussed above which is a set of ordered pairs A to B should be paired from A to B. Let us consider the same example which we have mentioned above in which this is a set A, this is a set B and R be a relation from A to B is the square root of. Now here on one side we will list the elements of A and on the other side we will list the elements of B. Now the elements of A are 2, 3 and 6 and the elements of B are 4, 9, 16, 25 and 36. Now the relation from A to B is the square root of. So we will connect the relative elements that is 2 will be connected with 4 is the square root of 25 and 6 with 36. And since the relation is from A to B so the element of mapping of no element. Now consider an example is displayed by this. Now for this relation conditions should be satisfied but here the second condition is not satisfied of A is associated with the unique element of B except the element 25 which is the element associated. Therefore best relation in which the relation is the cube of is displayed by this arrow diagram. You can see that every element of a set A is associated with a unique element of set B that is 8, 27, 64 and 125. All of them are associated with the unique element of set B and no element of such A that is associated. And this completes our session.

Right here we've got some and we've got a PowerPoint right here. Right here, the resolution is done.  The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is made in God, and we have so long for the Lord to justice have called us all to celebrate this event of changing this by iconic tactic the glory of God and God is an important part of the world in the future as seen in the beautiful streets and the memorial of this place and the funeral of this place is being opened for the purpose of the one that has been in this place for so long I think that it is not only the others that have seen it yet but it is also true that the Church of the Lord is dear to the heart of God the Bible and Bible says on the Chronicles chapter 17 of the Spirit of David, David plans to build the Church of God he just thought about it it was taking his heart to build the Church of God and because it was taking his heart to build the Church of God God blessed him and entered into a covenant with him and generated our faith because it was taking his heart to build the Church of God it was not just in their heart to build the Church of God it was their nation and many others like that and this is the Church of God and the same for the Church of God and the Church of God and just their generation the generation of David who made these thoughts about God these thoughts about him and David show you that the Church of God is all and they are just in his heart and the current impact of David for generations like that I am sure that this is one of the most beautiful of our planet in the Church of God and clearly the people of Georgia with their ascents and friends to build this incredible evidence of the glory of the Almighty God I would like to thank you and I would like to thank you again for all your support to our Church and especially to the people of this great Church the people of our country the people of our country the people of my country and the people of my country the people of my country the people of my country I would like to thank you my people of my country and my people of my country because they are our first heads of the country if you here in Georgia and we are from this whole country that this country will go from stone to stone and we should be standing down


Hi, I'm Drew Foistel, Commander of the International Space Station and proud per University alum. In 2019, my alma mater is celebrating 150 years. I'm not sure if you know this, but Purdue University has a special relationship with space exploration. In fact, Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, was a Purdue graduate. He famously said, that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. And now, our alma mater is honoring his legacy with the Giant Leaps program, a celebration of this 150 years. That was Neil Armstrong's Giant Leaps story, and now I'm going to share my own. I attended Purdue University for my bachelor's of science in 1989, and master's degree in 1991. And after receiving my PhD at Queens University, I worked as a geophysicist for a few years, and then in the year 2000, I was selected as a NASA astronaut. My first mission to space was in 2009, when I helped to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Now, on my third mission, I serve as commander of the International Space Station during Expedition 56. This work is my dream come true, my giant leap, and I would not be here without my university education and training. Not to mention the fact that I met my wife, Indra, another Purdue alum on campus in West Lafayette, another giant leap in our lives. What's your greatest accomplishment or giant leap that you're working hard to achieve? Share it on social media and use the hashtag Take Giant Leaps. I can't wait to read your stories.


Though we can learn a lot about an artifact by using our five senses to engage with it, and by conducting archival, material culture, or oral history research, there are always gaps in our knowledge. Aspects of the artifact reside in the imagination or in cultural or collective memory. Some stories are grounded in the ways through which they have been passed along, and some stories are grounded in the in-between spaces that form between a person and an artifact. This door embodies over 100 years of multi-generational mining history in the Abitibi Gold Belt. Made in the early years of mining operations, circa 1910 to 1915, the door is a site of inscription. We can see marks of the makers. For example, the metal was likely made by local blacksmiths, and the marks of use, for example, a dent that shows where the door may have been kicked possibly in an emergency. The door came to ingenium in 2018. It was past midnight and minus 39 degrees when I landed in Timmins on February 5th, 2018, but I was excited to be there. Gold Corp gave me permission to visit the dome mine on the very last day before it closed after 108 years of continuous operations. I was there to select mining artifacts for the national collection. A few miners who wanted the last walk through the drifts joined me. We walked slowly underground, they told me stories, and I tagged artifacts. And then someone remembered the door. The door was upstairs in a warehouse, and when I saw it, I thought to myself, this is an artifact every curator dreams of. It is metaphorically the history of the 20th century as seen by the miners in Timmins, Ontario. Once in our care, ingenium curators and conservators were determined to learn more about the door and about the inscriptions upon it. We brought the door to the Canadian Conservation Institute to scan it. The infrared and ultraviolet fluorescence revealed more inscriptions than are visible to the eye. The oldest dates to 1910. However, though we were able to use technology to discover more about the mining door, our curiosity about the people who wrote on the door persisted. We imagined who they were, and we wondered about their lives at the mine. When Anna shared her story of the dome mine door and its many inscriptions with me, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to explore how objects tell stories with my graduate seminar on Narrativity and Performance in Public History. Each student was randomly assigned an inscription and tasked with researching and coming up with a backstory for the person who wrote it. Creating a script, they then performed it. The aim was not only to animate the inscription, but to create an imagined scenario of its making. Doing history in this way allows us to explore how one might capture something authentic about the past in the absence of direct evidence, such as the interviews with miners who wrote those words on the door. Performance-based strategies such as this encourages historians to think through the relationship between accuracy and authenticity, between lived experiences and the stories we tell about them, between history and memory. And while these stories are fictional, they are grounded in research and on the object itself. Connected to something that really happened, the students created what we might call storied realities about the door and what it can tell us about life and work at the mine. The evocation of context and world produced during the Carleton University Public History MA students monologues gives us interesting insight that material culture analysis would not have been able to convey on its own. Even though to this day we are unsure as to why or how something rose to the level of being inscribed on the door. In this first story, Emma Gillies explores the mindset of a miner who felt compelled to inscribe major world events on the mining door. Bill asked me why I'd take into writing down big events on the mine door. Who's going to see that stuff down here anyway he said. I couldn't tell you, but this morning I noticed for the first time in a long time that back in 63 I'd scribbled down when JFK was killed. I can't remember what made me think to do that. Like Bill said, who's going to see it? But then I thought well with everything that happened yesterday maybe I should keep going. I still can't believe they'd shoot Martin Luther King Jr. I don't get it, him being peaceful and everything. And I understand what he was about I think. I mean he was just trying to organize those garbage workers so they could get better pay. My wife tells me to call them sanitation employees. More proper she says. I told her in that case she better call me a goldsmith. Anyway, if there's one thing I get it's wanting honest pay and return for honest work. Anyway it's funny. I wrote the King stuff down on my way through the doors but then on my way out for the day I had this thought that maybe I should slap Pearson's retirement on there too. I mean he said he was stepping down back in December but yesterday was the start of the liberal convention and it was all made official. Lester B. Pearson. A pretty good guy I think. When I got this feeling that him stepping down it's going to be something we remember. Well, wherever things are headed as long as this mind's got gold we'll be okay here. But not all of the moments inscribed on the door rose to the level of world significance as Kate Jordan's story demonstrates.  Oh that's that's a good one that's a good one oh god yeah okay well Fred Freddy was from Toronto you know uh well no he wasn't from Toronto he was from Denmark but you know he moved to Toronto because he was looking for adventure you know so uh so he shows up in Toronto and he doesn't fight adventure steadians of living with a zamp so uh you know it's a little too close for uh for Oscar's taste so he decides to come up here and uh you know it's hard when you first start out it's it's tough because you know you get a lot of time right? It wasn't time to think and you know he's he's missing the family time he's missing the meals and he's really missing the sausages you know we got sausages here right like dailies got sausages got got Polish and uh well not only by Polish so uh anyway uh but he walks in first day and he asks for these sausages they got some kind of crazy Danish name lady behind the counter is no clue what he's talking about right just like no idea she just stares out of goes home tells her husband of course at the end of the day everyone in Timmins knows that Fred's coming to this dailies looking expecting it to be some fancy fine food Toronto store so all the boys start chirping him about this right like one guy god forget who he decides to call him Oscar Meyer you know like Oscar Meyer wieners like you know if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener anyway yeah so lucky for him that's the one that sticks yeah Fred uh never did figure out how to get those sausages up there so he learns how to start making them right by some guy's sausage grinder he's bringing these amazing sausages until one day when a sausage grinder breaks you know he shows up he hasn't got these sausages and he's choking back the food right but it's okay because they haven't served him bologna steaks yet but sure enough Friday comes around the one thing Fred can't abide sees bologna steaks so he gets up that's it he goes I said I'm leaving I'm getting right out of here I'm on strike union bedan so he just walks right out of there sometimes the inscriptions bring the macro and micro scales of global politics and daily life at the mine together as conveyed by Nick Lecky's monologue okay from the top I'd put in what I guess four to six hours of overtime in the main with my buddy Mario as usual we didn't talk much to each other during the shift so at the break most of us went up to the surface breathed some fresh air talk a bit light up of course it took longer to go up that's for sure but my father always told me that he regretted not doing it more often it was a lot harder to leave the dome in his day but as long as still trouble him the shift boss let us have a little radio in the smokers corner for the news because the journal and the door they're always late in 68 you think that blowing up bombs in mailboxes will really save a nation that killing a black preacher will bring eternal peace seems to me that to have civil rights you need to be civil right it's a shame we have to use violence to get across what we mean as kennedy said about king replace that violence with an effort to understand with compassion and love that's why it was so hard to believe that someone shot rfk and then even after he was shot his first words were asking about others around him what a guy that's why I decided to write his name on the doors next to mlks to remember their words and their lessons yeah I'd say that 68 was a crazy year because even here at porcupine you could feel the loss in our final monologue max kronkite tells the story of how change can be technological as well as political god damn it did you know that earl and pierce and got laid off today just found out this morning that must be over 30 in the past month or so gold standard has been dropping and all the timmins minds aren't doing so well so you know what the head office decides to go and do computerize they're bringing these new machines that track only hours who work no more punch cards anymore I'm gonna miss that chunk sound they make now what do I have to look forward to ridiculous and I get to think what's next we're gonna replace the fuse box with the locks on it with a computer what happens when miscalculates one of us and lets an explosion go off when we're down there who knows maybe all miners will be machines in the next 10 years god I'm gonna miss that chunk it's what I look forward to you know every morning every evening mine is perfectly fine the way it is I know I'm probably overreacting but if I can't see my card use my card hear that chunk I don't know what I'm in control of god help me everything will be a computer I guess it's a changing world the only god knows if we'll be better for it these four performances breathe life into the inscriptions and evoke grounded yet imagined context for the emotion that underpins the writing the decades worth of inscriptions appear to us today as a palimpsest or layers of text upon text or a modern-day medieval chronicle where all events from the first snow to a political assassination are weighted equally this way of recording events challenges conventional notions of writing and understanding history which favors major events or everyday life but rarely moves between the scales

And what's helped me a lot is literally, you know, Pablo Picasso said good artists copy great artists steal So if you can find somebody that you can shadow, that's what I started doing


Wait a minute. Have you heard the Whistler lately? I'm the Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now, the Whistler's strange story. Last Request. A group around Dr. Rourke's bed moved away as he beckoned with his last remaining strength, indicating that he wanted to be alone with his son. It was all right, the nurse decided, because his boy, James Rourke, was a doctor himself. He directed the others out, moved silently after them and closed the door. James sat on the edge of the bed, listened to what his father had to say. It was an amazing story. Something a dying man had to clear up. It wasn't really his own story, but that of one Tony Delgano, former public enemy number one. It was late. The steamer dock almost deserted, and the big car pulled up near the gang plank. And Tony Delgano stepped out and turned to the driver. Sir, lady. Yes, Tony?  Well, we picked up before this tub even sails. Okay, okay, not Tony. What you got on your passport? Tony Delgano is no more. Now, David Delmas. Delmas? Kind of close, ain't he? It's got to be close, as I don't slip. Now, you see that you don't. You don't even sing in, sir, lady, even one little bit.  I don't sing to nobody. You see that you don't.  And a nice trip, Mr. Delmas. Yeah, sure. You got everything? I'll make it, if you behave. I always have. Well, so long, Chief. Don't take any lead sluts. So long. And you'll be careful. You watch from the rail as the lights from the Golden Gate fade into the distance. And you feel safe, secure, don't you, Tony? It's like the beginning of a new life. One that's free of the police. A new life under another name, David Delmas. You enjoy it even more only a few hours later at a cocktail party on board. When you manage a meeting with a very exciting girl, Sharon Phillips. You feel a sense of amusement inside as you introduce yourself in the ship's lounge. Uh, Delmas, David Delmas. It's a pleasure, Mr. Delmas. Oh, thank you. You know, they say, uh, they say shipboard friendships sometimes lead to all kinds of things. So, uh, so may I get you another cocktail? If you like. I'm in Manhattan, please. Sure. Oh, just a minute. I want you to meet someone, an old friend. Uh? Doctor. Oh, Dr. Rock. Dr. Rock? Over here, Doctor. Oh, hello, Sharon. Oh, you decided to take the trip after all. Thank you, Rock, Mr. Delmas. Uh, happy moment. Oh, you too. I'll get the drink for you, Sharon. Oh, hurry back, won't you? Yeah, you're sure. It's a shock, isn't it, Tony, seeing Dr. Rock. And you know that it surprised him, too. It's been a long time, hasn't it? And you know that you must talk to him alone and soon. He's gone when you return with Sharon Phillips' drink. But later, out on the deck, you see him standing by the aft rail. Quietly smoking his pipe. You saunter over. Ah! We meet again, Dr. Rock. Oh, yes. I wondered when you'd be cornering me alone. Mr. Delgano. Delmas. David Delmas. I don't suppose I have to ask you why you're traveling under an assumed name. The police again. The police again. But, Doc. Yes? You're going to keep my secret. Not say anything. Am I? Haven't said anything yet, have you? No. No, I haven't. Yeah, you're wise, Doc. You're very wise. I could mess up your life, too, you know. In what way? In what? Come on now, Doc. Where's your memory? When you fixed up my shoulder after that hunting accident. I remember. Oh, sure. And you remember that it wasn't a hunting accident at all. I learned that later, Toddy. Make that day, will you? Don't tell me what to make it. I'll say what I please. When and to whom? You can't threaten me, Delgano. Oh, no, Doc. Of course not.  Yes, he is. I wonder how his associates would feel if they heard that his old man, Dr. Rock Sr., had once helped a criminal and never said anything about it. My son? You wouldn't. I wouldn't? I would. You just forget about Toddy Delgano. Or your son, young Dr. Rock, would have his life messed up because of something his father did. I see. You're running away, I suppose. Yeah, you suppose good, Doc. And what are you doing here?  Little Seavoyet? I'm doing favor for a friend. The unbought? Yes. Don't go getting any ideas you can tell him about me. I don't want anyone to know, Doc, till I'm free and clear. Then, of course, it doesn't make any difference. I understand. You just skip mentioning anything to your friend. You understand that, too? It would scarcely matter if I did. My friend is making a last voyage. Oh? His body is in a casket in the hold. I'm escorting him to his final resting place. His last request. Well, okay, Doc. I guess you won't do any talking. So, uh, I'll see you around. Not if I can avoid it? Oh, did I hurt your feelings, old man? Now, you forget about that, see? I'll call on you anytime for anything. And you'll do whatever Tony Delgano says. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot my new name, Delmas. David Delmas. He speaks a little differently from Delgano. Delmas is going to be a real gent. He's the same guy, Doc. The same guy. Before continuing with Whistler's Strange Tale, here's a word from the people who are bringing it to you. All of us are proud of our hometowns and rightly so. In this brief moment before we continue with our program, we'd like to offer a salute to one of our hometowns in America, Cleveland, Ohio. The seventh largest city in the United States. Cleveland was founded in 1796 by General Moses Cleveland, a chief surveyor for a land company. His employers bought 3 million acres in what is now northern Ohio, paying 40 cents an acre. Just by way of comparison, an acre in downtown Cleveland today would bring some $2 million. It is an important Great Lake shipping point in the site of iron and steel manufacturing. Other Cleveland products include paints, varnishes, electrical appliances, chemicals, and automobile and airplane parts. Well known for its cultural developments also, the city owns and operates its own dramatic theater, and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra is widely acclaimed. In the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, a mile-long strip of park area, more than 30 nationality groups represented in Cleveland's population are creating gardens as memorials to peace. 120 years is a short time in the world's history, but during that time, Cleveland has taken its honored place in the building of America. Now back to the Whistler. It's clear sailing again, isn't it, Tony? As David Delmaus, you're safe on the ship, not a worry. Dr. Rourke will say nothing because he's afraid that his son, a young doctor with a bright future, will be hurt by the knowledge that his father once helped to crim him. He took a bullet out of your shoulder, didn't he, Tony? After a bank job, he said nothing then, and it's the same now after all these years. He'd be safe. You think very little about it the next few days. You're too busy with that girl, Sharon Phillips. She's exciting, isn't she, Tony? And seemingly very interested in you. And there it is. Oh, you've won again, David. I'm afraid I'm no shovel board player.  Do you? I'm no shovel board player either. Let's get away from here, huh? That's better. David, what do you do? You work, I mean. Why do you ask? No reason, except that, well, we have been seeing a good deal of one another. I asked Dr. Rourke if he knew anything about it. What did he say? Nothing. Nothing at all. Why ask you? Well, Sharon, I'm just a guy moving around. Seeking. Seeking? Yeah.  David, this too, it's coming. I don't think so. Yeah, what is it, Stuart? Mr. Delmoss, might I see you alone, sir? Sure, we'll dance, sir. Twice around the main floor. What do you want? Night to then, sir. Alone. Look, what is this? Oh, I don't mind, David. I'll join you later. In the cellar. You're not much later, about ten minutes, Sharon. All right, now, boy. Easy, Tony. I might not like that. Tony, would you get that? I've seen your picture. So? This, Delgona, this radiogram for Mr. David Delmoss from San Francisco. I'll get it here. So, ladies and gentlemen, we see the world here anticipated big reception for you in Australia. Double-crossing little squalor. You took off the police, eh? Where will I get my hand? Save your breath, Mr. Delgona. You could still lick him from here. You've got a Sunday punch. I have? Yes, your friend, Dr. Rourke. What about Rourke? He's just gotten a stiff, I mean. Oh, Loverduck, what's to prevent us from disposing of his quiet friend?  It's nice as you please, and nobody's the wiser. Huh.  What's your end of it? Just give me a bit of help, that's all. Give you a bit of help? Yes, sir. Maybe you could get a little package, if sure, for me. What's in the package? A million dollars in diamonds, Mr. Delgona. You just take it with you. I'll pick it up after you're safely ashore. What do you say? I'll think it over. I'll get in touch with you. All right, sir. But remember, it's your only chance. It's a way out, isn't it, Tony? But you're not certain you want to take it. You tell yourself there must be another way you can escape the police. We'll be waiting for you when you're both docked at city. In the days that follow, you search for the answer. Find yourself thinking more and more of the steward's plan. And then one evening, if you stroll along the half-deserted deck. Good evening, Mr. Delmos. Beautiful night, isn't it? Yes, yes, it is, steward. Oh, do you have another light? Do you want a towel? Here you are, sir. Thank you. It's been a pleasant voyage, wouldn't you say, sir? Too bad it'll all be over soon. The docked the day after tomorrow, you know. Yeah, I know. By the way, Mr. Delmos, Miss Phillips has been inquiring about you. What? Asked if I'd seen you. She's in the lounge. Oh, oh, yeah. Nice young lady that, Miss Phillips. Seems quite taken by you, if I may say so, sir. Is that so? Oh, yeah, of course, you know, yes. Very attractive woman. Lots of money, too, are you? Too bad if anything happened to spoil your beautiful friendship. Like the police. Hey, Mr. Delmos. Yeah. Yeah, it would be too bad. You've been thinking any more about my proposition. I'm sure I've been thinking about it. It's a deal? Yeah, it's a deal. Bring the package to my state room in 10 minutes. Here's the package, sir. Ooh, wrapped up nice and proper like. Yeah, not a very big one, is it? Not very. It's worth a million dollars. Hey, what's your cut on this? 20,000 on delivery. All right, Breeder, I'll take care of things from now on. Oh, is Dr. Rourke, you know it? Not yet, but I can handle him. You understand, sir. That pot's between you and the dog. Yeah, sure, sure. Well, gotta get topside. Hey, just a minute. Come here, come here. I'm not supposed to get this package, too, after I'm sure. Don't worry, Tony. I'll be close by. All the time. After he's left your cabin, your gaze wanders back to the small package lying in the desk. You stare at it for a moment, and quickly you walk over to it, rip it open. You're examining the contents of the package when quickly you close the box, slip it into the desk drawer. Uh, all right, come in. I was beginning to wonder where you disappeared to. Well, I was just on my way up to the lounge. The Fenways have asked a few people to their state room. Want to go along? Have I been invited? Have you? Mrs. Fenway won't take no for an answer. Well, what's the occasion? Nothing special. Listened drinks. And cards, I suppose. Mrs. Fenway has suddenly discovered the game of blackjack. She's crazy about it. Oh, well, she starts losing. Come on, David. Fenways are waiting. Yeah, so am I. Look, I gotta go up on deck for a minute, Sharon. I'll join you later, huh? All right. But yeah, you go on. It's important I take care of this matter right away. Very important. Steward. Oh, Mr. Delmoss, I didn't see you. It's rather dark, yeah? Yeah, it's nice and dark. Oh, for a bit of a stroke? Yeah, I am. Join me. Well, I'm out. It's business. You'd like to make ten grand easily, wouldn't you, Steward? Ten grand, sir? Ten grand. When I left the States, there was a reward out on me. Ten grand. Is that so, sir? Yeah, yeah, that's so. Because you knew about that, didn't you? Well, I... No. No, I didn't, sir. You figured you'd kind of like to collect that, didn't you? I don't know what you're talking about. How did I hide me out where the cops couldn't find me, and then you would lead them to me, huh? How am I doing so good? That's crazy, sir. Why would I turn you in for ten grand when you're holding a package for me that's worth twenty? Uh-uh, I opened it, Buster. You... You opened it? Yes. All I found was a handful of glass. No, how about that? Oh, no, no, wait a minute. You got me all wrong, sir. I don't think so. No, what are you going to do, sir?  No, sir, no, sir. Let's see if you ever learn how to swim. The steward won't bother you anymore. Sharon and the rest of the passengers will think he's fallen overboard. When you retire for the night, you're confident you're in the clear, that your plan can't fail. Then the following morning, there's a knock on your stateroom door. Come in.  Oh, oh, yeah, thank you. Oh, you can set it down over there if you want. Hey, uh, aren't you new here? Where's the regular steward I had? Well, it's rather odd, sir. He's disappeared. Why? The ship's been searched. He isn't aboard. You sure? Yes, sir. One of the passengers on the deck last night thought he heard a splash. You mean the steward might have fallen overboard? It might have happened, Mr. Dunnman. Good morning, Dr. Rock. Yeah, yeah, tough. Accidents will happen. I don't think it was an accident. Oh, join me, Dr. Hanks. Thanks. I've already had breakfast. Make sure you look good. You sure you want? No. Rather just pace up and down, huh? Okay. You were saying, Dr.... It wasn't an accident, was it? Accident. Oh, you mean the steward? How did it feel to be a murderer? I often wonder. Have some coffee, Dr. He knew too much about you, didn't he? I noticed on the first day when he saw us talking together. He was rather inquisitive in a God that sought a way. Probably recognized you. Well, he was a smart little operator, Doc. But not smart enough. I tell you, I kind of hate it to do it. Especially after giving me that bright idea. What bright idea? Yeah, I'd rather keep a toast warm all the way to the cabin. What idea? Hmm? Oh, a way of getting off the boat. See, Dr. Police are going to be waiting for me when the boat docks in Sydney. What? Yeah.  That's better. Now, it's going to be tough, you know, for both of us if they grab me. It's kind of tough on your son, too. What are you going to do? There's a way I can slip past him. If you'll help. And I'm pretty certain that you will. How can I help?  Yes. That's right. And that's how I'm going to slip off of this boat. They'd never think of looking there for me. Oh, you. You're not suggesting that. You're right again, Doc. We're going to make a switch. No. No, I can't do that. I won't. I'm not asking. I'm telling you. You know something more?   I'll beat it, will you? Listen. We're going to be docking tomorrow night. I'll let you know in plenty of time. You'll watch Dr. Rourke as he backs out of your state room. A stunned, horrified look on his face. You're not worried, are you, Tony? You know he'll go through with it for his son's sake. You spend the rest of the day with Sharon, enjoying the deck game, chatting pleasantly with the other passengers. And then early that evening, when you've finished dressing for dinner, you pour yourself a drink. A knock on your state room door interrupts your first sip. One of the ship's officers steps into the room. Yeah, what is it? I shall have to ask you to come with me, sir. Oh? Captain wants to see you. Well, what about? Look, if you come quietly, Mr. Delgano. Delgano? Yes. We've just received a radiogram from the San Francisco police. Oh, yeah, I see. You don't mind if I finish my drink, do you? Oh, would you care for one? If you just come with me, sir. Oh, come on, have a drink. An instant after you throw the drink in his face, your fist connects with his chin, and he slumps to the floor. Quickly you close the door, stand for a moment with your back to it, your mind spinning wildly. They've discovered you now, haven't they, Tony? They've got to move fast. Leaving the unconscious officer sprawled down on the floor. You hurry to Dr. Rock's stateroom. That's what I said now. It's got to be now. We don't dock until tomorrow. But as soon as that officer wakes up, they're going to be tearing this board inside out with him for me. Please, counsel, don't ask me to do this. I haven't got time, Donald. You get going. I'm going to wait right here for you. And it's dragged by. And you wait for Dr. Rock to return, pace his stateroom floor, dropping occasionally to pour yourself a drink from the decanter on the nightstand. The power goes by. And then finally... Oh, hey, look where you're been. I had to be careful. All right, is everything all set here? Yes, yes, I just had a talk with the captain. Will you double the nonsense? No, no, wait. I told him I thought I saw you trying to hide in one of the light boats. Saw you lose your footing. Oh, I see. The ship is circling the area now. Well, that's smart of you, Doc. That's pretty smart. Hey, that calls for a drink. I could use one, sir. See, you helped yourself. Oh, sure, I had a few. I'll make you feel better while I'm... resting in that box down below. Tony, there's something I've got to tell you. I know all I need to know.  It's cold, and you can make me nice and comfortable. Tony, I've come on. I don't want to talk about it no more. Very well. You seem to be giving me orders. Before continuing with the Whistler's Trane story, here's something everybody's for. We're for the United Nations. We want war to see. We're for the U.N. cause the U.N. And for permanency. And now for the Whistler's ending into his story for tonight. In stunned silence, young Dr. Rourke sat on the edge of his father's bed, listening to the dying man as he told his story in a voice that had now faded to a bare whisper. The end was near for old Dr. Rourke, and as his son James leaned forward to catch the last few remaining words, the expression of pain crossed his fate. Dad, Dad, you let Tony Delano get away. No, no, son. He didn't get away. But you let him take another man's place in the casket, your friend.  The body I was accompanying to its final resting place. But you see, there was something Tony Delano didn't know. What? What's that, Dad? That my friend had chosen as his final resting place a burial at sea. Featured in tonight's story were Bill Foreman as the Whistler, with Lawrence Dobkin, Herb Butterfield, Jean Tatum, Jack Moyle, and Paul Dubov. The Whistler directed by Sterling Tracy, with music by Wilbur Hatch, is produced by Joel Malone, and transmitted overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. This evening's story was by Brian Thorne. The Whistler was entirely fictional, and all characters portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional. Any similarities of names or resemblances to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The Whistler, whose strange story you have just heard, will be back next week with another tale from his never-ending final. This is the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.


Hello everybody, welcome to the next installment of the Hathor material. As I said last week, this is my favorite part of the Hathor material. We are in the Addendum, so we are at the back of the book where we're going through some of the history, some of the mystery around the Hathors and our ancient history that we know is maybe not what we've been told. And so if you missed last week's edition of the Hathor material, I will place that down in the description box below. Of course, all the other segments of the Hathor material before this week could probably be looked at as independent subject material, but this Addendum is leading one on to the next. We left off last week, we are lastly we covered last week with the missing planet of Maldac, which I am by the way researching off camera to possibly do a show on depending on how much information is available. And today we are going to be talking about our starting with the pyramids. The Hathors say, so again, this is the Hathors, this group of celestial beings who teach through an Egyptian modality of understanding, they're the ones being channeled for this work. So they say, we had nothing to do with the building of the pyramids, but they were not merely burial chambers as some of your historians and archaeologists believe, we know that, we know that, right? Although many of the pyramids did actually have burial chambers within them, their primary function was as oscillators of energy. And because the sides of the pyramids were burnished, often with a highly polished granite, they would cause the pyramid to oscillate energetically. Initiates would enter the pyramids in designated areas that were laid out specific mathematical rotations. This permitted them to receive understanding of the great universe and the great mystery that they could not have achieved if they were not in such a matrix of energy. This was one level of their function, which we do understand. In fact, the pyramid design is a very important spiritual design. And we do know that the bad guys, the dark ones have manipulated the pyramid. We do know that. And again, as I will say, I'm terrified at the vigilante attitude that's coming out of a lot of truthers. The dark can't create anything, guys. Let me say that again. For those in the back who maybe didn't hear, the dark cannot create anything. They can't create anything. Only the light can create. The only thing the dark does is it steals from the light and inverts it, or it tries to mimic the light. Believing that the controllers created things such as pyramids is giving the darkness way too much power. The darkness cannot create anything. It is our job to take back what is ours. If we got rid of everything, the darkness had corrupted we would have nothing left. So pyramids were good things. The law of one states that, Roth states that these celestial beings actually came down to try to teach humanity through shapes, through the shape of the pyramid. And they called themselves the sons and daughters of sorrow because the bad guys took the pyramid and inverted it. So they feel bad that the darkness did that to us because it was a creation of the light. And it is an osculator of energy. That's why I have so many pyramids around my house. And in the front room I have pyramids as well. Our yoga studio, we have pyramids. It's because they oscillate energy. The human body itself works as a pyramid, going energy coming up through Shoshuna. So with that being said, be careful about what you say you want to get rid of. Because if you think you want to get rid of the pyramids because the darkness uses it, you're talking about your own body too. Another function of the pyramids was energetic. The pyramids were installed in specific mathematical rotations to facilitate the creation of a grid work. We know that a lot of the pyramids we have today are on the constellation of Orion's belt, but it is my opinion. I know a lot of people share this opinion that the pyramids we see in Egypt today were not originally placed there. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to Tartaria. And there is a great channel out there. There's lots of channels out there that's specifically focused on Tartaria. And if we're looking at the specific focus of Tartaria along with the ancient maps, that would make the real Egypt where I live in the southeastern part of the United States, making the Mississippi the Nile River. And from what I understand from people who work in Atlanta and have been here for a while, there are actually pyramids in Atlanta underground. They've been buried underground. So take with that what you will. This energetic grid work on the planet was laid out to express purpose of holding the next grid, what is now called the Christ grid by some. When Christ entered into his work, the grid was established by the pyramids supporting the new vibration and the vibrational Christ grid continues to strengthen to this day. So the pyramids were multi-level and multi-purpose devices, which makes sense because we know that Yeshua that the matrix calls Jesus, Yeshua and Magdalen were Egyptian. They were not Jewish. They were Egyptian. So they would have been very familiar with the work of pyramids. Other pyramids were established around the planet, but it is not done by one specific civilization. It was done by many different civilizations, but all beings and civilizations that participated in their construction were deeply connected through their intuition and their understanding of the great mystery. And they understood energetically what they were doing, but there was no joining together under one chief architect, nor was there a meeting of chief architects in the in time and three-dimensional space. These ancient architects also had outside help from intergalactic visitors such as the Acturians, Andromedians, Palladians, and Syrians, among others. The Hathor temples. There was an ancient understanding that the source, the mystery, expressed itself through the four elements. The air was the element most associated with the divine. You need to understand that as primitive humans contemplated their reality, i.e. being earthbound and dealing with three-dimensional reality, it seemed as if the gods came from above, from the sky realm. So they associated the divine with the sky. Hathor, in her first manifestation, was the sky goddess. It was later that the Egyptians associated with her fertility. Thus the first goddess of the Egyptian pantheon, before the time of Pharaohs, went through a metamorphosis in the minds of the people. At first she was associated with the element of air, the sky, and during this period she was seen as the manifestation of divine love and ecstasy. Then she became associated with fertility and the earth. It was also during this later manifestation that she became associated with sex and joy. Love and ecstasy continued to be associated with her as well. The work of the priestess and the priests in the temples of Hathor had a dual nature. They were often asked to influence fertility and affect good births. This was the outer work of the temple. The esoteric or hidden work of the temple was the use of alchemy, which involved the raising up of the initiate sexual energy to the higher energy centers of the body. The priestess and priests will wear well versed in this esoteric science and much of what you call tantra can be traced back to these roots. And we did, if you join us for the Magdalen manuscript, which was also channeled by Top Kenyan, Magdalen herself spoke a lot about this. She was a high priestess and the priestess of Isis as was Yahshua. He was a priest. Isis back then was spelled E-S-S-E, the ascends. That's why in the Bible the ascends are so drastically different from the Pharisees and the Sadducees because they're not Jewish. They were Egyptian. They practice Egyptian rituals and rites. Yes, Yahshua Magdalen had Jewish students. They called him Rabbi or teacher, but they themselves make no mistake. They themselves were Egyptian. The Egyptian pantheon. Egyptian deities such as Isis and Osirah, Osirahs, etc. would best be described in your terminology as force-filled or energy patterns of awareness possessing vast consciousness. These energies were then anthropomorphized by humans in the Egyptian period. So the Egyptian pantheon is actually a picture, if you will, of force fields that move through the universe. We would therefore encourage you in these modern times not to take Egyptian pantheon literally for the little understanding was given to the lesser minds of the period. I actually disagree with this and I've said this before because this is being channeled by Top Kenyan. And what we have to understand with channeling is if channel or the person doing the channeling is meeting the information where the person is in their own understanding. And that's why I think Top Kenyan does not understand the reality of the situation. I know he knows that Magdalen and Yahshua were Egyptian, but he doesn't understand about Tartaria, nor does he understand that Yahshua was never crucified. He doesn't understand that. And granted, two years ago I wouldn't have understood either. I do believe that Isis was a person who actually lived as was Osirahs as was Hathor. I think these people actually lived. And their legend became that of a deity, what we would perceive as a deity. Their story became greater and greater and greater over time. Understand instead that all the teachings are on multiple levels so that what was taken literally by the less evolved consciousness of earlier times was understood by the high priestess as a priest to be symbolic of energy force-filled. And with that being said, I mean we see this with the emerald tablets, with the chakras. They talk about the human being being force-filled. So even if someone did live on this earth, their energy force-filled can still be very much alive and well in other generations and you can take the lessons. So you can take the lessons taught by Magdalen and Yahshua to save yourself, to raise your own Kundalini or Christ consciousness. You can take the lessons of Isis and Osirahs for your own resurrection, if that makes sense. It is best to understand that these Pantheon deities are benevolent forces that can be aligned with but are not the ultimate source which is without duality or polarity. I think we understand that. In terms of Egyptian history, our influence began before the time of the Pharaohs. The time when the sky goddess was Hathor and the sky god was Porus. Our earliest influences Egypt began around 10,000 BC. We have, however, worked with this planet prior to the Egyptian period. The Egyptian period is simply one cultural expression of the mystery. The mystery is trans-cultural and extends beyond all times and all places. So we work through those cultures and those belief systems that we encounter. As Ascended Beings, we are able to transverse white areas and interact with numerous civilizations. At times we may make contact with only a few individuals and other times, as in ancient Egypt, we contact and work with thousands. Although some of the information we bring has been preserved in the Egyptian esoteric or hidden teachings, most of our knowledge has yet to be communicated to mankind. An alchemical key in the myth of Osiris. Again, Osiris was good. Any truther telling you that Osiris was bad is either extremely confused and still stuck in the web of programming from the cabal or works for the cabal. Always, always, always do your own research. Do not take anybody's word for it. Don't take my word for it. Don't take anyone's word for it. Always do your own research. You want to move and flip to the new timeline? Take your sovereignty back. The resurrection myth of Osiris is very long and complex and is actually an alchemical key that describes how to attain the resurrection of consciousness. It is an instruction book or manual, but it is in a symbolic code. We wish to address one small aspect of this complex myth for the purpose of highlighting a psychic tension that exists for all persons as they rise up in consciousness. In the story, Osiris has a brother, Seth, who is a code for the serpent called Apopolis, the serpent of duality. Seth is diluted by the illusion of the world that seeks revenge against his brother Osiris. This occurs because Seth is diluted by external events. In this case, the external event is the fact that his brother slept with his wife, Nephthides. Seth refuses to forgive his brother and plots his murder. This makes him the evil one in the myth and you know that there are a lot of military, high-ranking military officers who worship Seth. The temple of Seth. I didn't know Osiris slept with his brother's wife. That's pretty scandalous. In the myth, there is another code word, Horus, who is the son of the murdered Osiris. Horus is a symbolic figure with multiple meanings. He is the rightful heir to the throne and he is also a representative of the goddess Mahat, who represents peace and carries the scales that weigh the heart of an initiate at the moment of death to determine whether or whether or not he or she will enter the heavenly world and must ascend into the underworld. I understand that in the sense that even though I do believe ISIS Osiris, these people actually did live in their stories, became legends and became a greater force for teaching, I actually do get that that these stories of death and resurrection like Tammuz, even Jesus are literally metaphors. Like no one died, right? It's literally a metaphor of you going into your underworld and then resurrecting again to your own self, to your own consciousness. It's like Magdalene says, you cannot ascend until you descend first. We call that in modern language, shadow work. In the myth, the symbol for that which is eternally omnipresent and ever peaceful is Mahat, which is the opposite of the serpent Apollos duality. So the myth of Osiris is the story of the battle, if you will, between Mahat and the serpent, between truth and illusion. This battle between truth and illusion via the figures of Mahat and the serpent take place beneath the surface behind, if you will, the battle between Horus and his uncle Set. In the myth, Set, who is the brother of Osiris, cuts him into tiny pieces and sends them all over the world. This is the symbol of duality, the dualistic mind which cuts things into pieces and scatters them instead of the holding the wholeness of the being. Interestingly enough, side note, the God Set is where we get the word sunset from the sunsetting, the setting of the Horus. Learn that from one of our favorite icons in research, Jordan Maxwell. Somebody actually told me that I reminded them of a younger female Jordan Maxwell and that was literally the best compliment I had ever gotten. So the person who said that to me, thank you so much. That means a lot to me because Jordan Maxwell was part of my waking up process for sure. I would have loved to have had a conversation with him. He passed away recently but nonetheless, we still have a lot of respect for Jordan Maxwell on this channel. The myth is about the conflict between the two aspects. In the final stages of the myth, there is a being that emerges called Set Horus whereby Set is joined with Horus as one being. The two are caught in immortal combat and it is not possible to see where Set begins and Horus ends. Horus is shown in his form as a hawk-headed human and Set is shown as dog-like head on human form. The alchemical understanding of this is that humans are joined in co-mixture of illusion and truth. It's like thought. We see thought as having a bird's head. I have a little, somebody sent me a little thought here because I love the animal tablets, but we know thought himself was a real person. He did not, he had a head of a human. It's all metaphor with the way they do these right with the different heads in the Egyptian culture. It's not demonic. It's not demonic once again for those in the back. Can't seem to hear. Can't seem to give them into their head. Darkness can't create anything. By believing the darkness can create something, you are giving the darkness more power. It can't create anything. Only the light can't. So this was seen as metaphor, not demonic. There is an animal nature of Set which is fundamentally and reluctantly a refusal to forgive or to release anger and jealousy and is these qualities that make him the demonic one in this mythology, right? It's the qualities, it's the metaphor. We all have that duality inside of us. Even though in the story, the serpent is seen as bad. The serpent is also seen as bad in the Christian story too, but Kunalini rising is also the rising of the serpent. What's the serpent? Rises. It transcends that duality. We want to rise the serpent, not kill it because that's the transcendent of duality, not dying to duality. I hope that makes sense. Since Horus is the one who is connected to the divine, there is an aspect of all human that is both divine and demonic. Exactly, polarization. What Alchemy says, what the myth says is that you must acknowledge the truth of where you are. You have parts of your psychology that are unforgiving, jealous, petty and anger filled, just as you have parts that are uplifting, loving and compassionate. The continuing question is this, which part will you come from? Will you choose to express your set nature or your Horus nature? They are both a part of you and they are both available at any moment because life is a continual decision that centers around which aspect you will choose to express. In the mystery schools of Egypt, the priest and priestesses would scan, initiate and sense where they were coming from in terms of their morality. If an initiate was more like Seth and Horus, meaning he or she was reluctant to forgive, held patterns of jealousy and or anger, then he or she would not be allowed to access the inner teachings and the inner technologies because it would be dangerous to empower someone who was unbalanced like this. So the selections of students was conducted by the priest and priestess. It was the responsibility of the guardians of the mystery school to ascertain the moral qualities of the initiates. That process does not exist today in quite the same way because each individual must judge his or her own moral quality. Earth is now moving into a higher vibration refilled and everything is being stimulated including both the set nature of individuals and their Horus natures. For many humans now their worst and their best natures are coming out as response to earth's movement upward in vibration. Your life situation provides an opportunity whether you are aware of it or not to make a choice. You will respond to a situation through your set nature, through anger, through jealousy, through pettiness, through an unwillingness to forgive or will you choose to respond to a situation from your Horus nature which is based on love and compassion, understanding and truth.   Which for most people who've been on this channel for a while you have a bit of an understanding of the law of one. Pretty much it's either a service of self or service to others, the path of light or the path of darkness. And they say you know law of one is very kind of nonchalant about it. They're like they're both equal paths of spirituality. It's your choice dude. Like you just pick which one you want to pick. Which path you want to go on. Eventually the service of self won't go as high as service to others or the light because darkness is a fractal of the light. There is darkness would not exist without light. But anyway, again do your own research. The law of one it's great. You should get it, read it for yourself. You cannot ascertain your spiritual progress based on how your life is working externally. Some people believe if they do right things their life will be perfect. They also believe that if something negative occurs they have failed. This is not our understanding. Not my understanding either. Coming from an Eastern school of thought from my studies in the East in India that's not my understanding. Just because bad things happen to you does not mean that's because it's like your curse. Right? It's usually a karmic work that you kind of agreed to to understand because again the friction is what's needed. That friction is what's needed for growth and friction only comes when something is uncomfortable. Right? Again the match. You have a match. You have a match book. Right? You pull a match out of a match book. That match on its own has everything it needs in it to light itself but it can't light itself. In order for that light to shine from the match it has to be struck against the match book. Right? You have to have that friction and I'm sure in that moment of friction it's not comfortable but then the light appears. Right? I know for me the more my heart breaks the more the light can shine through.  Three-dimensional reality in other words. Underneath the events themselves are vast unseen forces operating from deep within consciousness itself. This consciousness may be expressing through you through your culture through earth changes and even through cosmic forces of unimaginable proportions. Not all events are created solely by you. Although your perception of them most assuredly is various forces individual culture earth-based cosmic interact to create the surface events of our and your destiny. Editors notes. The presentation of the Osirian myth by the Hathor is focused solely on the struggle between Hathen Horus as aspects of human consciousness. It does not address one of the central figures of the myth namely Isis and her indispensable role in the resurrection of Osiris. When I asked the Hathor's about this they said they were isolating one piece of the myth as a vehicle to explain the struggle between good and evil between truth and illusion that all humans have to deal with. Furthermore their presentation of set as a symbolic representation of Apollos and Horus as a symbolic representation of Mahat is highly unusual. This presentation is in stark contrast to how the myth is viewed by Egyptologists. When I asked the Hathor's about this they said that on the surface of things it looks like a battle between set and Horus but at a deeper level the battle was also between archetypal forces. We study the archetypes in our Return of the Divine Sophia series and honestly like I'll probably never be talking to an Egyptologist. I mean mad respect for the amount of school you've gone through but also you are super programmed. I just don't trust any type of scholastic profession at this point be it medicine, be it educate, be it history, science. I just don't trust it because it's all coming from the same source of mind control and we know nothing is what we think it is. Nothing and so I probably would not even have a thought to ask an Egyptologist to look at this stuff because I mean not to sound arrogant or anything but at this point those of us who are waking up are probably a lot smarter than the people who are still heavily. I mean cult programming is everywhere right and that's what the cabal is. It's a cult and so we have academic cult. I've said that there of course we think of like religious cult.  Wait until they figure out tartaria. You're going to see a mad explosion of either cognitive massive cognitive dissidents or derangement and violence realizing that they had been lied to for so long and have been teaching the lie. So I wouldn't even consider talking to Egyptologists. I mean they still think that Egypt in Africa is actually Egypt. It's not as one guy on his channel said that's like the Egyptian amusement park. That's not the real Egypt. The real Egypt is here in the southeast. Karma. Karma is cause and effect right? It should work. You could change your life by changing your thoughts and feeling patterns. There is karma but karma is simply the law of reaction. Yes all actions have reactions or consequences and everything you do has an effect. Karmic results and effects will be positive when they are in the fruits of compassion and loving acts. Karma is simply experiencing the effects of your thoughts and actions with either positive or negative results. If you bring a negative karmic deck into a lifetime that needs to be transmuted or addressed it can be dealt with externally in terms of events that seem to happen out of the blue. Or it can be dealt with energetically at the subtle round and simply transmuted. This is what alchemy and yoga are about. Yep. We essentially encourage the transmutation of negative karma energetically in the subtle rounds that you won't have to work it out in your external affairs. No one is freed from the consequences of their action. All must be aware of it and deal with it. The consequences of what they do in this lifetime are others. Absolutely.  I know this. They seem to think that they don't have to follow the laws of karma but they are sorely mistaken. I mean look at what happened. I'm doing really, I'm doing a lot of deep dives into Keith Ranieri again in Nexam because I have a guest coming on and I was like going back over the timeline of Nexam and Keith Ranieri and I'm looking at all this bad shit awful stuff he did to people for many decades before karma caught up with him but it eventually did and now he's serving a 120-year prison sentence. So karma will always catch up with people, always. You're doing spell work on people that's dark and dirty.  That's just cause and effect, right? Defend yourself but it's coming. That's the laws of the universe whether you're serving the dark or the light. It's cause and effect. No one escapes karma. No one. However the destiny that unfolds before you, i.e. your future, is a result of the seeds that are planted right now in this moment. What you choose to think and feel and what you choose to experience in terms of your reactions to the events of your life carries responsibility. What you choose in terms of thought and actions are seeds that will according to the impersonal law of the universe unfolded to karma consequences in the future. So you are literally shaping your future destiny in this very moment. Your destiny does not passively wait for you. It is created by you in every moment of your life and every moment that you make choices. The karmic repercussions for civilizations operate on the same principles as it does for individuals. It's just more massive and there's more variables involved because there are so many people. The destiny for the United States as with the individual is not something that hovers off in the future. It is something that citizens are continually creating and shaping in every moment by the decisions they make as a culture, as a society and so it is every country in the world. And that's why I love and like the law of one and the Cassiopean, they never use the word prophecy. They always use the word probability. We for some reason think prophecy. We think something that's destined to happen and nothing is destined to happen because things are always changing and shifting and we still have the law free will. Probability is a better word for that. There's a probability that this is going to happen but because we're constantly co-creating the future, it's not set in stone. But karma is set in stone. There will always be a cause and an effect.  There's going to be a payment for that action. It might not be right now. It might be a year from now.  Always. There are karmic threads that run through current cultures of the United States which are fruition of past actions as a country. Although the United States was formed with a vision of very high purpose, very high integrity and a view of freedom for the individual that has radiated and uplifted the world to great extent, it has also brought forth many negative situations. There are negativities of greed, violence and dominion and oppression of other cultures. History indicates that a culture or civilization cannot hold that position indefinitely. Some of the decisions and actions of the United States that have been led to negative consequences in the world must be balanced. Because those negativities must be balanced, healed and a more loving attitude acquired, a very complex phenomenon is going on. The United States is paying its karmic debt as all societies are but the destiny for this particular country remains to be seen because it will be based on the choices that citizens make day by day.  Nations are operating very much like individuals. They are territorial, possessive and looking out for their own self-interest. There is not yet an understanding and a consciousness of the human race that a country can take care of itself while also being sensitive to the needs of other nations. Consequently, countries are in a various state of evolution and there's no solid heartfelt international understanding. Those countries that are benevolent to others with their resources are obviously expressing a higher ideal than those countries that have resources that will not share them. We also have to understand that we as the people are not our governments because our governments have not been honoring our free will and our consent and they will have to pay for that. That is the one thing you just do not do is violate someone's consent.  We know with a lot of these competitions we'll say winners are picked that are not the true winners. Walls are passed that are not approved by the people. Taxes are used on things that the people do not approve taxes to be used for and so what I think is going to happen is depending on what we continue to do as patriots, we'll continue to give us the better ideas of the future whereas the government already has its own karmic debt to pay. We already know what's coming for the governments but the people have their own path to continue to pay because in my opinion I've been very lucky to travel the world multiple times. I think I've now been on every continent in the planet. I've lived in multiple countries.  Cultures may be different but all human beings have empathy, have compassion. Most people are genuinely really good and they want to help others. They don't care where someone's from. They don't label someone's value by what country they're from. It's them as the person. That's how most people are and so I do think for us as humanity, we do have a bright future because we have been fighting hard for the freedoms and liberties of all. There's a volatile state of affairs within the former Soviet Union presently because no equilibrium has been established. The struggle between those aspects of consciousness that want to free the individual allow a great personal expression, aren't polar opposition to forces that want to suppress the individual and bring society back to a higher level of control. A similar situation may develop in China because because communism is totally evil. It's totally evil. It's of the darkness. Because there are warning elements in consciousness that have not been refined or purified in many of the nations of the world, one could say the war is not going to end in any foreseeable future. Unfortunately, I think a lot of us feel like the end of this war it should be now, but I think it's going to be probably a few more years. That's just my opinion because it has, I mean things are happening every day. Something's happening every day to shift us in the right direction. Don't get me wrong. But I think it's going to take a few years for everything to play itself out. What we can say from our perspective, however, is that individuals are waking up all over this planet in every society in all levels and positions of those societies as more and more individuals will wake up and recognize that certain things are not tolerable, that they simply cannot do things the way they did them before. And as these awakened people include individuals of power and influence, you will see societies begin to shift. It is starting now, but right now it is figuratively a tug of war between many of the forces of factors at all levels of society throughout the entire world. We're seeing it. That's correct. We are seeing this tug of war, right? The war ain't over until it's over. Listen, if I know anything of the law of one about the darkness, they don't give up. They don't surrender. Okay? So don't be mistaken. Don't think that the cabal's gone. They don't surrender. They have to either be arrested or executed in order to stop. So this tug of war of polarity and friction will continue until it's done. You'll know when it's done. Societies are an unusual construct or structure, and if persons wish to influence society, it has been almost a set rule, the level of society you operate and determines the effects you will have.  Individuals who have vision and personal power who are not part of the structure or the mechanism of the institutions, however, can still have a tremendous impact by virtue of their vision and personal power. If you hold a frequency or vibration of consciousness, say as an emotional tone of peace and love, this will set up a vibratory field that is contagious. Then other people who are awake will also begin to do that same thing.  And I think that's a really great place to stop it on today because next week we'll pick up with intergalactic karma, which is probably a lot more intense of an idea because I really want people to think about that. What do they say about love and about fear? How many truth there's are out there pushing fear on you? If they're pushing fear on you, they're not, they're not of the light.  And then holding that, stand up for what's right, do what's right, help others. And remember, we are all just walking each other home. If you want to continue to work on that, do the Shadow Work Challenge. We have our 60-day Shadow Work Challenge going on right now. If you have not signed up for that and it's never too late, never too late to do the work, you can email me at the email address listed in the description box below. Alright you guys, I hope you have a wonderful day. I will talk to you soon.
