inanga > Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville

Originally i collaged a number of Google Earth images, including 3-D views, my paintings (and a Miro that was an accidental CLICK) and the centerpiece was my friend Rick from Jville. This was captured on Google Earth street camera. What are the odds of this? A biker captured on his Triumph in his front yard? A split second in the Google-Earth-mapping process.

I finally managed to get a portrait shot of Rick rather sneekily on my Apple iphone. He has incredible facial tattoos (Maori: 'moko') and you can just detect these above his glasses. The miracle of digital phi-tography allowed the Google-Earth image of Rick on his bike to be reflected in his glasses. 

Hence the title 'Rick sees Rick on his bike on Google Earth, Jville'

inanga > Avatrix Wambie finally makes it to the Getty Center, LA

She finally got her Oscar in person. I was out in Wellington yesterday and she was insisting on a collage of part of the city. So it looks like the Wambie gets her way!

inanga > Prophecy Rock & Fire Clan Tablets

So where is the missing piece of the Fire Clan tablet and who is taking it to the Hopi Elders as promised in the Prophecy of Masau'wu? i honestly don't know who, but i have heard the missing piece of the tablet is in safekeeping with someone who lives near a sacred well in the northern part of Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island of Aotearoa - NZ).

One thing about prophecies... they are always open to interpretation.

As for Prophecy Rock:

'Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is:

The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.

The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life.

The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour.

The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.

The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...

The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit.

The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.'

Dr Allen Ross

And i'll leave it to a Hopi Elder to explain the petroglyph in more detail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Vhivi6nws

Preface to Part 2 of the North Star Road Trilogy: 'Montezuma's Well'

For each of us on this earth there is a well - a place of water - where we can be at one with the Otherworld. It is a place where you can wait, often only for a short time, before you are at one with the spirit. Some search all their lives for this well and although they walk close by it, they never see it. They walk towards their inevitable death without ever having drunk from its waters. Others see, after much searching, the path to its edge. When you reach the edge of your well it is important that you pause and reflect upon the journey that led you there. Only in recollections of the past and how they influenced your arrival at this point in the present can you adequately prepare for your future. Future, past and present are all related. It is only at your well that you can slide into Otherworldliness and intermingle with the ancestors. And the water of your own well, the one that you are led to by sinuous, tortuous paths, that you taste the sweetness of life. It is because at your well, and at your well only, you find your own specially brewed elixir of life. And it is so sweet. The coming to the knowing at the well's edge does not always proffer a life of wine and roses, far from that. Of what possible use would a future be unless it had the challenges, equally weighted, of good and bad, danger and exhilaration?

My journey to the Superstition Mountains circlestone had taught me much about the underlying forces which rule our earth. And of the ability of those that understood to tap into both the negative and positive energies that lay therein.

It would be some time before i found my personal well. The well i could call mine. Not in a possessive sense - it could never be mine alone as there were myriad souls that had also been led to it, both living and dead, long before and long after. If you are reading this book then you already know the name of the well. But the name alone is unimportant. More interesting is the journey taken to reach the well, and even far more interesting than that is the effect the place has on you when you discover it. The circlestone had taught me that nothing happens by accident. It stood alone in the desert directing the water carriers to the places where the true treasures of a desert lay. It had told me secrets about the calendar of the universe, not the current confused chronometer of earth. It had bludgeoned me into acceptance, with an eagle's feather, mind, that the universe was as an intricate a creation as the spider web of all genius combined. 

i had gazed upon such archaeological wonders as the Great Pyramid, Kathmandu, Petra, Macchu Pichhu, Abu Simbel, Ephesus, the Eredo (Nigeria) and Buritaca 2000 (the latter in Columbia), all gargantuan to the imagination, and had found many of the answers i sought in a humble circle of rocks in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. 

But to say all previous journeys made were fruitless is to lie to one's self. See, they are all combinations and permutations of the path to your very well, the well of your being, the fount of your very being, in fact. The tragedy is that most people choose the path of least resistance, the opposite to that of the words of Robert Frost's 'The Road not Taken'. So if you find yourself in the woods, alone, and frightened, then take the road least taken instead of the path of least resistance. If you forever choose the easiest way out of the maze of life chances are you will never cotton onto the path that leads to your Montezuma's Well. And you will join the rest who never made it to their wells.

The Polymath

I'll let wonderful wiki do all the talking:

"Walter Russell (1871–1963) was an American polymath, known[1] for his achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.[2][3] He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This physical theory, laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light (1947) and The Message of the Divine Iliad (1948–49), has not been accepted by mainstream scientists.[4] Russell asserted that this was mainly due to differences between himself and scientists in their assumptions about the existence of mind or matter.[5] Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy. He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.[6]

In 1963, Walter Cronkite in the national television evening news, commenting on Dr. Walter Russell's passing, referred to him as "... the Leonardo DaVinci of our time."[7]"
