Thanks for the love, CA. Will give you a good hug one day...this life or the next. And one of my painterly studies.
Not chronic yet; damn close if not addressed. So...I've given up my traditional redneck culinary palate
(kracklins, banana pudding, fried anything, steak, bacon...all the good stuff) and got on the no fat wagon. Whatever. It's all about Feeling.
What is "the adult poli-board"? Old people talking about their ills?

That sacred geometry stuff can be interesting. I saw a picture of the sphinx's face and all of the measurements were in line with those circles. I don't know if that counts as fractals or not. That new Doctor Strange movie apparently uses fractals in their science magic thing they got going.
As far as your repeating civilization thing there are lots of different groups that believe that sort of thing. Hinduism says we are in the Kali Yuga phase which could be ending in 2025 (or like 400,000 some more years depending on your interpretation lol). Kali Yuga is the degradation phase of civilization. Hopi Indians had some pretty good stuff on this too if not mistaken. Obviously the Mayans did.
Some of those types of things like picture below have been messed up from over time is what I've read. So there are more than one line up of those, supposedly. It is really hard to know what is right unless you have done it all I could very well be mistaken on which one of those types of images it was though...
Supposedly all knowledge is in the ether.

Ketosis diet can surely help you. 
Really you just need to avoid grains and sugars (includes most fruit and some root veggies).
I think the thread may have just got anchored?

That is truly unfortunate
I was going break it down with quotes and pics, but I am having trouble with Randall's website:
Here are the pertinent links for those interested:
Burckle Crater
Smaller impact hit the Indian Ocean (at Burkle Crater site) causing tsunami that impacted Madagascar, Australia and if you track north, the Arabian Sea/Persian Gulf/ Fertile Crescent causing the "Biblical flood". Tigris River would have flowed "backwards" towards Mt Ararat (as in the Biblical account)
The Grail write up is 12 pages (I cannot get them to load currently). The link is included in the prior post. Randall links ancient texts for context. Very much worth the time to read. It may be even more compelling than the Gobekli Tepe info.
Highlights:
panspermia via cosmic impacts
raining blood in ancient texts (thought to be related to meteorite/comet debris/particulate in the upper atmosphere)
Zeus also know as Jupiter - Jupiter's mass impacting orbital path of comets...
dragons which breathed fire in ancient texts = symbolized comets
Grail has multiple different symbolisms: stone, royal blood, cauldron, chalice
Impact (by the Lord) into chalice / crater
Cup overflowth, water flows, flooding
Seeds of life germinate
the hand of God...

So I saw that David Brock was foretold to be having a heart attack. Did you see that? Someone on the /pol/ said this March the sixth. I have the image downloaded and I can post it later if you need "proof." But here is the jist of it:
He said James Alefantis is a rothschild and was the boyfriend of david brock. David brock is under heavy investigation for pedophilia and the rothschilds don't like it. Said they are going to clean up media matters in a giant fire and that david would die of a heart attack.

OK. I am going to slowly break down Randall Carlson's work (series of posts to follow)
I am going to incorporate some of the Pink Floyd info slowly (as I believe the same symbolism / knowledge that is described by Randall is incorporated into their music). I believe Pink Floyd/David Gilmour were trying to cleverly tell the same story that Randall is now telling openly. The message is the answer to riddle that is Publius Enigma. I will have separate threads (dedicated to Pink Floyd/ Publius) after I present all of Randall's info for context. As Randall will address, the troubadors played a very important role in conveying sacred knowledge in days past. Please bare in mind that many of these things discussed can be interpreted many different ways. I believe that this is purposeful and by design to reach those who have "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" (very much in line with HLI themes).
I will start with a good video that outlines Randall's motivation for discussing this information (very much in line with HLI themes):

"Learning To Fly"
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

quote:
Over the years as I have lectured on the importance of cosmic encounters in the history of life on Earth and on the evolution of civilization, I have been asked on several occasions, why, if these celestial events played such an important role in history are there not more explicit accounts from the writings of ancient cultures.
The answer to that question is that they exist in abundance, but can only be understood within the framework of symbolism in which they were recorded. To ancient peoples meteors, fireballs, comets and so one were represented by a variety of images, the most prominent of which were dragons and serpents.
quote:
Regarding the prevalence of the dragon in the myths of ancient cultures, British astronomers Victor Clube and Bill Napier, wrote in 1982: “The earliest recorded myths are those of combat, between a god or hero and a dragon. The dragon was a familiar figure in Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Babylon, India, China, North America, and elsewhere. Usually, he has the form of a winged serpent.He is a gigantic monster; he spouts fire and smoke; bellows and hisses; he throws rocks, and is the creator of terrible destruction; and his home is in the sky.” (The Cosmic Serpent: A catastrophist view of Earth History: Universe Books, New York) Another example comes from the ancient Far East, as recorded by Engelb. Kœmpfer, M.D in 1728: “In the thirty sixth year of his reign, it rain’d Stars from Heaven, in Japan…In the 40th year of his reign, on a clear and serene day, there arose of a sudden in China, a violent storm of thunder and lightning: Comets, Fiery-Dragons and uncommon Meteors appeared in the Airs, and it rain’d fire from Heaven.” Roberta J. M. Olson in Fire and Ice: A History of Comets in Art (1985) writes: “Certain artistic conventions were employed in the rendering of comets and these carried over to images of other celestial events. For example, the English artist Thomas Sandby recorded a large meteor observed in August 1783 which was identified with the ancient type called Draco volans, or “flying dragon”.”
Such examples could be multiplied many times over.
quote:
Of course we also have Zeus, or Jupiter as he was called by the Romans, well-known for hurling his mighty thunderbolts. Astronomers now understand the important role that the giant planet Jupiter plays in hurling asteroids and comets from the outer Solar System into near Earth space. Interestingly, the Buddha too, is often depicted holding the thunderbolt, or dorje, symbol of cosmic power.
In addition to dragons, serpents and thunderbolts, other images and symbols invoked by the ancient peoples to represent celestial objects were burning torches and lamps, swords, swastikas, beams, and stones. Comets were often indicated by long hair or beards, brooms, the omega symbol, chariots and scythes or sickles.

A lot of it was oral is why. Nearly all celtic and druid history is lost. Abrahamic religions wipe out knowledge pretty well or at least hide it. Christianity did a number when it seized control of Europe. We have seen modern Islamic culture do that nowadays in places. Even trying to blow up ancient Buddhist sculptures relatively recently.

Exobiology and Panspermia
Pink Floyd song:
"Astronomy Domine"
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.
Blinding signs flap,
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.
Stairway scare, Dan Dare, who's there?
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters underground.
Domine is vocative of the Latin for "Lord!"

quote:
In the late 1970s there emerged a compelling hypothesis regarding the emergence and evolution of life on Earth. Formulated by Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, it proposed that life did not first begin on Earth but originated in the astronomical realm and was delivered to Earth via celestial objects, primarily comets. This idea necessarily supposed the origin and existence of life, or at least the biochemical precursors to life, to be somewhere else in the universe. The term now used to designate study of this scenario in all its ramifications is Exobiology. To be sure, others had proposed theories promoting the extraterrestrial origins of life. In the 19th century Flammarion, Lord Kelvin and Herman von Helmholtz all suggested that terrestrial life was not a home grown phenomenon but originated outside the planet, elsewhere in the universe.
At a meeting of the British Society for the Advancement of Science in 1871, Lord Kelvin speculated on the possibility that meteorites had brought life to Earth. In 1908 (the same year as the Tunguska event) the Swedish Scientist Svante August Arrhenius wrote on the feasibility of life migrating through space. He coined the term ‘Panspermia’ (‘seeds everywhere’) to describe this process and is now considered the founding father of the field of exobiology. However, science, at that stage of development, was not capable of providing actual evidence that could confirm or refute the notion of a cosmic origin to life, so for most of the 20th century nearly all scientists viewed the Earth as a closed system until the aforementioned revival by Hoyle and Wickramasinghe.
quote:
We now know that prebiotic material is exceedingly robust, making it more likely that it could survive an interplanetary, or even interstellar journey. In 1986 a flyby of Halley’s Comet detected the presence of organic materials. In 2004 a close fly-by of comet P/Wild registered the spectral signature of organic material present in the dust being ejected from the cometary nucleus.
Samples captured at an altitude of about 25 miles showed the presence of biologically active materials of an indeterminate nature. An extremely important advance in evolving models of exobiological processes came with the fall to Earth and swift recovery of the Murchison meteorite in 1968. An analysis of meteoritic material revealed the presence of 74 amino acids of which 55 had no known counterpart on Earth. This find confirms conclusively that pre-biotic chemistry has an extraterrestrial existence and that there exists a mechanism for the delivery of this material to Earth.
quote:
With this important amplification Exobiology came full circle, arriving at a concept of Cosmic Evolution that has a precedent in the Hermetic wisdom of ancient Egypt, and has maintained an ongoing, but intermittent existence through a variety of sacred and arcane traditions since that time. It shows up in the sacred writings of ancient Vedic Hinduism. It shows up in fragments of the writings of the pre-Socratic philosophers of pre-classical Greece, and in the beliefs of the early Gnostics of both Jewish and Christian incarnations. It reappears in Medieval to late Renaissance alchemy and Freemasonry. Finally, germane to the topic of this article, exobiological concepts lie at the core of the Medieval stories about the loss and recovery of that mysterious object of adoration and restoration—Sangreal, the Holy Grail

Actually, if you're a comet, it *is* easy being green
quote:
But why is it green? Ah, that’s a good question (I’m glad I asked it!) and takes just a little bit of background.
When the gas suffusing out from the nucleus gets hit by ultraviolet light it becomes ionized; one or more electrons get stripped off the atoms. That’s important because the Sun is blowing a wind of subatomic particles called the solar wind, and as it moves out from the Sun it carries a magnetic field with it. This field interacts with the comet’s ions in the coma, shearing them away (this process is pretty complicated, and not completely understood). The solar wind is moving far, far faster than the comet (many hundreds of km/sec, versus maybe just a few dozen), so the ion tail points straight away from the Sun. As far as the solar wind cares, the comet is just standing still.
And that brings us to the comet’s verdant glow. That green color is real, and not just from the way the picture was made! And it’s the same reason a neon sign glows. When you have an ionized atom or molecule (or just an excited one, with an electron bumped into a higher energy state so that it can fall back down), the electron can recombine with its parent. When it does, it gives off light. The color of the light depends very strongly on the type of atom or molecule. Excited hydrogen glows red, for example, which is why so many gas clouds in deep space glow that color. In a comet, the molecule cyanogen (CN)2 and diatomic carbon (C2) both glow characteristically green, which is why some comets, like McNaught, are green.

Pink Floyd song:
"Coming Back To Life"
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight ...into the shining sun
quote:
The Grail symbol first emerges in history in a series of remarkable writings that appear in France over a span of about half a century between the years 1180 and 1230 AD. This is the same prolific and fertile time period that saw the peak of the great cathedral building era; the rise to power of the Templar Knights; the rise and fall of Catharism in southern France; the formation of Kabbalistic and mystical schools in Spain in which Jews, Christians and Muslims all participated in relative harmony; the emergence of the Troubadours as channels for the diffusion and circulation of sacred knowledge; the rise of Sufism and the transmission of Hermetic knowledge to Europe via Islamic scholars and mystics.
quote:
It is difficult if not impossible to attribute to the Holy Grail a single meaning. Like all powerful occult symbols it is multilayered and multi-dimensional.
quote:
The prevailing academic literature and commentary on the Grail reveals the following meanings and associated cast of characters, all derived from the great variety, and oft times contradictory descriptions, found within the texts themselves: A chalice, cup, cauldron or platter; holy or sacred blood; a man’s head on a platter; a quest for something hidden or lost; King Arthur, the Round Table, the Templar Knights; Eye of Thoth; a bleeding Lance; fertility of the landscape; Joseph of Arimathea; Angels; rejuvenation, the universal medicine; the Divine Feminine; dragons; and finally, a stone fallen from heaven.

The Grail is a symbol for a lost technology of individual, social and planetary regeneration.
The Grail Quest then, is an allegory for the search and eventual recovery of this technology for the restoration of both the debilitated king and the devastated kingdom that has devolved into an infertile wasteland.
quote:
Students of the Mysteries, occultists and Hermetic Philosophers understand that the archaic wisdom is preserved and transmitted in one form as a special language, an argot or slang which only Initiates can understand. This language has been called by many names: The Language of the Birds, the Language of Diplomats, the language of the Gods, or of the Angels, langue verte or green language, and the Adamic language. It is reputed to be the language spoken before the fall of the Tower of Babel and the confusion of tongues. It was especially employed by Alchemists to conceal their mysteries, and according to tradition was used by Kabbalists, Renaissance magicians, and Sufis, among others and most likely traces its origins back to ancient Egypt, and perhaps beyond. It provided the principal means by which the Troubadours, those mystical purveyors of Sacred Knowledge, could communicate classified information without the awareness of the uninitiated. It could be either spoken or written. It was based upon the use of puns, homophones, etymological derivations, and the use of numbers and symbols to provide alternative meanings to words, phrases and names than the superficially apparent ones. These alternate meanings could then be substituted yielding hidden teachings. Elements of this mysterious language were definitely employed by the authors of the Grail Romances and it provides indispensable insight into the concealed meanings of the Grail symbolism.

“Its origin is not, for all that, certainly Celtic. It may well be very much earlier. I believe that this word derives from the root “Car,” or “Gar,” which has the meaning of “stone.” The Gar-al, or Gar-el, the urn that contains the stone or the stone urn (Gar-al), say, the Stone of God (Gar-el).
The two etymologies are in fact very close. In the first case, we should be concerned with a vessel in which the stone “becomes;” in the second, with the “Stone” itself. The symbol is unquestionably alchemical.”
Two things should be noted, in Biblical Hebrew and other ancient tongues the word al or el is a name for God, as in El-ohim, the creator gods of Genesis. The second thing is that the goal or summum bonum of the Alchemical quest is the Philosophers Stone, the means for concocting the Universal Medicine with which extraordinary restorative or regenerative effects are conferred upon the alchemist. Here we can begin to get the sense that the Grail mythos and the obscure symbolism of alchemy are inextricably intertwined.

“In practice we cannot separate the word “Grail” from the word “Cauldron.” In early Celtic times it was in the Cauldron (caldron) of Lug that “universal medicines” were cooked over a special fire . . . Grail is a Celtic word; but one comes across the legend of the sacred cup under other names in other places and times. Melchisedek is represented in the north door of Chartres, known as the door of the Initiates, holding a cup that he hands to Abraham and from which the Stone protrudes . . .

The various strands of symbolism — stones fallen from heaven, dragons, the phoenix, the universal medicine, the divine king, and holy blood, are hopefully beginning to suggestively intertwine, revealing a powerful and potent image of a lost art and a science forgotten
quote:
“…In many of the earlier manuscripts the Grail is called the Sangraal; and even in the later version by Malory it is called the Sangreal. It is likely that some such form?Sangraal or Sangreal?was in fact the original one. It is also likely that that one word was subsequently broken in the wrong place. In other words, “Sangraal” or “Sangreal” may not have been intended to divide into “San Graal” or “San Greal”?but into “Sang Raal” or “Sang Réal.” Or, to employ the modern spelling, Sang Royal. Royal blood.”
The dual meaning arises as a result of where one chooses to break the word. Split the term Sangreal between the letters n and g it becomes San Greal, ‘Holy Grail’. Split it between the g and the r and it becomes Sang Raal, or ‘Royal Blood.’ The point here has not to do with the question of which translation for Sangreal is correct, Holy Grail’ or ‘Royal Blood’, rather it is that the mystery of the Grail includes both meanings.
Randall goes into great detail about the story of "Percival". It is a very good, but complex read.
My next post will expound on the cosmic significance of "royal blood"

Pink Floyd song:
"Coming Back To Life"
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight ...into the shining sun
