Italian gem

Nestling in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 30 miles from the ancient city of Turin, lies the valley of Valchiusella. Peppered with medieval villages, the hillside scenery is certainly picturesque.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region's greatest wonders are concealed.

Hall of the Earth: An amazing room built on the 'supernatural' visions of its creator

Here, 100ft down and hidden from public view, lies an astonishing secret - one that has drawn comparisons with the fabled city of Atlantis and has been dubbed 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' by the Italian government.
For weaving their way underneath the hillside are nine ornate temples, on five levels, whose scale and opulence take the breath away.
Constructed like a three-dimensional book, narrating the history of humanity, they are linked by hundreds of metres of richly decorated tunnels and occupy almost 300,000 cubic feet - Big Ben is 15,000 cubic feet.

Few have been granted permission to see these marvels.
Indeed, the Italian government was not even aware of their existence until a few years ago.
But the 'Temples of Damanhur' are not the great legacy of some long-lost civilisation, they are the work of a 57-year-old former insurance broker from northern Italy who, inspired by a childhood vision, began digging into the rock.
It all began in the early Sixties when Oberto Airaudi was aged ten. From an early age, he claims to have experienced visions of what he believed to be a past life, in which there were amazing temples.
Around these he dreamed there lived a highly evolved community who enjoyed an idyllic existence in which all the people worked for the common good.
More bizarrely still, Oberto appeared to have had a supernatural ability: the gift of "remote viewing" - the ability to travel in his mind's eye to describe in detail the contents of any building.
"My goal was to recreate the temples from my visions," he says.
Oberto - who prefers to use the name 'Falco' - began by digging a trial hole under his parent's home to more fully understand the principals of excavation.

But it was only as he began a successful career as an insurance broker that he began to search for his perfect site.
In 1977, he selected a remote hillside where he felt the hard rock would sustain the structures he had in mind.
A house was built on the hillside and Falco moved in with several friends who shared his vision. Using hammers and picks, they began their dig to create the temples of Damanhur - named after the ancient subterranean Egyptian temple meaning City of Light - in August 1978.
As no planning permission had been granted, they decided to share their scheme only with like-minded people.
Volunteers, who flocked from around the world, worked in four-hour shifts for the next 16 years with no formal plans other than Falco's sketches and visions, funding their scheme by setting up small businesses to serve the local community.
By 1991, several of the nine chambers were almost complete with stunning murals, mosaics, statues, secret doors and stained glass windows. But time was running out on the secret.

The first time the police came it was over alleged tax evasion and still the temples lay undiscovered. But a year later the police swooped on the community demanding: "Show us these temples or we will dynamite the entire hillside."
Falco and his colleagues duly complied and opened the secret door to reveal what lay beneath.
Three policemen and the public prosecutor hesitantly entered, but as they stooped down to enter the first temple - named the Hall of the Earth - their jaws dropped.
Inside was a circular chamber measuring 8m in diameter.

A central sculpted column, depicting a three dimensional man and woman, supported a ceiling of intricately painted glass.
The astonished group walked on to find sculpted columns covered with gold leaf, more than 8m high.
Stunned by what they had found, the authorities decided to seize the temples on behalf of the government.
"By the time they had seen all of the chambers, we were told to continue with the artwork, but to cease further building, as we had not been granted planning permission," says Esperide Ananas, who has written a new book called Damanhur, Temples Of Humankind.
Retrospective permission was eventually granted and today the 'Damanhurians' even have their own university, schools, organic supermarkets, vineyards, farms, bakeries and award-winning eco homes.
They do not worship a spiritual leader, though their temples have become the focus for group meditation.
'They are to remind people that we are all capable of much more than we realise and that hidden treasures can be found within every one of us once you know how to access them,' says Falco.

Levels of consciousness

According to measurements taken the world's collective consciousness quantitatively, as outlined in the book POWER vs. FORCE by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. © 1995 - 2002.), the average number for scientifically measured world collective consciousness has shot up from 223 in September 2005, to 500 as of June 26, 2009, at which time everyone in the world was placed into a consciousness acceleration program that had previously been available ONLY to a few select people with personal consciousness measuring 500 and up.  The world's AVERAGE consciousness number, as of today, is almost 600!  This "AVERAGE" is not an arithmetic average, but rather is a number that calculates the net effect of everyone's consciousness interacting with each other, wherein people with higher consciousness neutralize the negative influence of many thousands or millions of people with low consciousness.

 

This means that people with high consciousness, presumably including those reading this post, are so effective at neutralizing those with low consciousness (many billions of "new souls" once described colorfully as being for the "first time on two legs"), that the net effect is to drag ALL the precious souls of Earth into a very high level of deserving ability implied by the consciousness number 600, once the province of only 1 in 10 million people.

 

To put this in context, when David Hawkins wrote POWER vs. FORCE © 1995 - 2002, only 15% of the world's population was above the critical consciousness level of 200, where "Power" in the sense of power for good first appears as the critical point in human development that distinguishes positive and negative influences of life.  A consciousness measurement of 200 or higher marks the point in development of human consciousness at which a person is capable for the first time of beginning to embrace positive influences and not be attracted to negative influences. (when we have negative thoughts from time to time this is a reference to embracing negativity, not occasional lapses.)

 

The 500 level of consciousness development is characterized by the development of a love that is unconditional.

 

The 600 level is associated with an experience of life in which transcendence, self-realization, and God-consciousness start to be available as conscious experiences, as distinguished from things one can only read about, for example in sacred literature like the Bible.

 

When a person is developing consciously below the 600 level, they can read and take to heart expressions such as,"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself."

However, no matter how much one reads the Bible and takes everything one reads completely to heart, the kind of love Jesus was describing is simply not available as a conscious experience when consciousness measures under 500.  It starts to be conceivable when consciousness develops to 600, and it is fully realized when consciousness develops to 1545.

Dr. Hawkins said in his book that as of the time when he took the measurements that went into his book, the 600 consciousness level was extremely rare, attained by only 1 in 10 million people.  Now this is completely changed!  As mentioned above, the world's scientifically measured "average consciousness number" as defined above, as of today" is almost 600 and rising fast - just under 100 points of rise in little more than a year!

This is a rocket ship, and it has implications for world events is huge!
