I’ve recently had a lot of very interesting emails, some of which have touched upon the same points, which I would now like to deal with openly. In The Enchanted Amulet, I describe a paradisiacal land, with a practical and enlightened system of governance. I’m not a Zionist, per se, but it is true to say that Peralucia is a sort of Promised Land, New Jerusalem or Zion. Now, I’ve also said that there is a connection between Malkazore and Bolon Yokte K’uh – the Mayan Lord of the Underworld, who some believe will herald in an apocalypse on December 21st 2012. Lots of religious groups are now starting to jump on the bandwagon. Many Christians now believe this might actually be the date of Armageddon, alluded to in the Book of Revelation. Bible cryptologists have been quick to draw our attention to the following passage: “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” (Revelation 20:12) And the The Freemasons, too, also seem to be in on the act. The City of London – a financial and Freemasonic capital, which, I might add, is home to some of the most brilliant minds in the world – has been instrumental in bringing the Olympics to London. And, having organised the whole thing, is it mere co-incidence that the logo, which innocently reads “2012”, can be re-arranged to read “Zion”! It’s a sad fact that the only thing that seems to bring us all together is the threat of a major catastrophe – whether real or imagined.
