The Libris Society

 I just returned from two nights camping in the hoodoo valley of bridges. My special place I go when I need to get away. Last night as the sun was setting I was in my tent reading a book called Endymion Spring. Now Matthew Skelton is a new writer for me. I believe this is the first book I've read by him. I must admit it was a freaky book for a multitude of reasons. If I try to explain those reasons then please bear with me. For going into the book I don't want to give away the surprises to those who may wish to read it. But I will give you some things that stood out in my mind.

 First we are dealing with a Dragon Tree. The Dragon Tree is a tree of knowledge and is purported to be part of the Last Book which holds all knowledge. The Tree was cut down and made into paper and the young printers apprentice to Gutenberg (first printing press of the Bible) stole some from Faust who is said to be in league with the devil. Now the story switches back and forth between Endymion and Blake who lives in the present. His mother is Somers and his father is Winter. Blake finds an old book called Endymion Spring and the book has a serpent clasp which draws blood to open the pages. The pages can only be read by the one who is innocent and yet desirous enough to have great advances in life. I saw it as someone who is innocent and yet has great hope. In this case Blake struggles with the separation of his parents because he thinks they are divorcing. In actuality the fight seems to be over finances. One stays in America and the mother goes to Oxford where the ancient book is found. As it turns out Blake isn't the only one searching for it. There are a host of evil characters who also want it but only one seems truly innocent. A mysterious beggar named Psalmanazar and his dog.

 Blake is 'stuck' with his little sister named Duck who is childishly stuck wearing her yellow rain jacket because she wants the stormy problem between Summer and Winter to go away. Thought innocent she hasn't been able to read the Dragon book because she hasn't been chosen. She more than makes up for it by being a source of help to Blake and is precocious in every sense of the word. The two are constantly getting into trouble while searching out clues to the Last Book and there is a jolting climax which makes the story more than readable.

 The more I got into the story the more I realized I feel as if I were in Blakes shoes. Some of you may laugh but I understand this story I think as much or more than the writer but for totally? different reasons. In Endymion the book Blake finds turns out to be like a seed that has to go through fire before it is planted in the earth. Though Skelton didn't go into this aspect I felt he should have. Perhaps he didn't know how to phrase it. At the least I believe that he stumbled onto some truth and wrote it throughout the entire book. So lets say that there is some truth to this story. Skelton said at the end that he felt he was being guided in the afterward. I think he was right. For me it was a clue I've been working on for probably about 3 years. That is knowledge of the tree of good and evil. I know that it was planted in Eden and I know that it was the tree that put man on Earth. The tree was filled with knowledge and in fact I see it as an historical archive. A forbidden tree that was controlled by the Dragon and under the Dragon's lie. Skelton mentioned this in a roundabout way in his book but he didn't know it. He speaks of the Libris Society. Even before I read this I was delving into the word Librarian. Li is an ancient term that signifies territory. Overseeing these territories or li's were the Bears. The bears or brere were spirits in charge of totally knowledge. Now among those numbers were the Dragons. The dragons could be thought of as collectors of knowledge also but some of them were seen as Janitors. There are a few words out there that are very strange and I see them as prophetic so that we at the end of time might understand the story. Jani is a strange word that speaks of evolving or changing. It implies birth and motherhood and giving birth to a child. Now if you want something really strange lets follow this through.

 While in the Drumheller region I prayed and sought God for Wisdom. I asked God to help me understand what I was reading in the book and why it was dealing with the same things I was dealing with. So lets go into it in a way that will be spooky. I called the title of this article the Libris Society. Li, as I mentioned, was a territory. I believe as God has showed me an ancient series of territories of knowledge. These were knowledge centers scattered throughout the Galaxy. Bris is an interesting word. From it we get bristle and from that we get sweep. Sweep meant to clean or scour. There are two meanings to that. One is to clean up and the other means to search for something that might be lost.

Now imagine that each star is the story of the race and around each star are head stones or planets. Maybe not all planets were created like heads but follow me through. We lived on a planet that was 'lost' to time and space. Think of us as an ancient tome which held knowledge of Psalt and Psalt was part of our amazing heritage for salt was considered healing. Now from Psalt came Psalm, which means Song but also there came the word Psalm Man or Singing man. And then there came a further addition called Psalm Man A zar or in other words the man who sang in the market. You could also say that it had other meanings including the man was the blood cure and so on. Searching out origins can be bizarre or bazar. And bazaar or bazar, depending on your expert can refer to Thunderbolt.

 The full meaning can refer to the place where the price is paid in blood. Now if we as Christians can imagine that one then we know that Jesus Christ, who represented the Psalt of the earth, the Psalm of the heart, the Psalm Man who paid the price of the Tor, the law. Now lets think about this for a moment. Tor is Spanish for bull. It is part of the word Terri TOR y. Included in the vocabulary is another familiar word. Terri Bull or Terrible. Terri refers to an earth woman which again refers back to wisdom. In the word search we go back into Dog, such as Terrier, which is literally an 'earth dog' which is no TOR ious for following their quarry back into their burrows.

 In America the Law of its day was the buffalo. There were no Bulls to speak of except the Bison bull. To the native people the Buffalo were their law. When the white man came they brought with them a new law that slaughtered every buffalo except a mere handful.

 But what does the Buffalo represent to America? Lets think of some oddities that came to me there in Drumheller. Lets imagine that the native people sought out the Buffalo for a number of reasons. Among them it was because that is where the Meat Is. The meat is or the Metis are among the strongest of native societies still in Canada. Now lets imagine there still is some meat left on the bones. The bones would represent a place of bones which is Drumheller where the Tyrell Museum of Paleontology is located. The Buffalo represented not just the bones but the meat also. Included with this was something we call the Pelt.

 Pelt is an interesting term. It speaks of spiritual knowledge if we are careful to discern it. The Pelt was stretched out to protect one from the storms and from hail stones. It was also stretched into the Drum and the Drum was used to carry messages across the valleys and hoodoo's.

(as I experienced in my little tent near DRUM heller. Drum, like Pelt, means to pound or hit but it was also used like the voice to cast a sound across the mesa, prairie and so on. But heller is an interesting addition because it means Devil, a mischief maker or one who stirs up trouble. And that word when added to Stir means to bring up life from a seed we'll call the hail stone. The la is cast down to the earth in a seed of knowledge. It carries that which is good but also carries nearby that which is evil. One becomes the message sender and the other the message destroyer. Now I saw a spiritual connection from Drumheller in Canada to Kansas City in Missouri.)

Now what does this have to do with us? First lets look at two nations side by side. One is Canada and the other is America. At first glance, besides borders, there doesn't seem to be a huge connection.

So let me take you on a journey you've probably never been on. A history of America and Canada and two places in history far apart yet the source, the root of knowledge for these two countries. In a dream God gave me he showed me spiritual cowboys and indian's fighting in the sky over Kansas City, Missouri. Then below I saw the buffalo but the life of the buffalo was passing. In another dream of Kansas City the white mans cow and bull had replaced the buffalo and covered the land but they were behind fences and the cattle were being destroyed by floods.

Now we need to go into this aspect even if it seems to take a long time to explain. The Indian people were those who had covered the land of America from one end to the other. They had no fences and no walls except that which they had created for each other and usually that was in a name. Now they created a culture around many things including the animal. Among them was the Raven and the Crow. Now the Crow was part of the culture but its name went to the people of Kansa. They were the wind people who had inherited this part of Missouri. They were also called the Kaw.

 Now this is important for us for a number of reasons. The Kaw people were the very heart of America. Unknown to most they had inherited what we will call the Coffers. The coffers were the vaults or deposits of great wealth. Underneath Kansas City are great deposits of Salt. And I believe they, the Wind People or the Kaw or the Kansa people are the key to this story and to the continuing history of North America.

Where do I begin? For in this journey I found myself in sleeping in a tent near Drumheller. I was reading Endymion Spring and suddenly there came the sound of a jet. I stopped and for a total of a minute hushed every thought. The sound of the jet rolled along the hollow of the badlands like a drum and even after the jet had passed far in the distance the sound of it continued to write its message into the hills around me. It was an awesome moment I will never forget; as if all the worlds of time and space had quieted for a moment of wondrous approval. That Drum roll went on and on as it continued south.

And I realized that there was a root from Drumheller, Alberta all the way to Kansas City, Missouri. On one hand we could say it started with Drumheller. Lets say a long, long time ago there was a great sea we'll call the Bearpaw sea. It was filled with all matter of creatures and it was overflowing with salt. A great earthquake took place and the sea overflowed and fell into a great vault in the region well call Missouri. There in the heat of the sun the waters dried up and all that remained were vast deposits of salt.

Now in Canada time passed and the native people we'll call the Bearingia arrived on the scene and lived in the region of Drumheller and drove the buffalo over the multitude of cliffs where they were able to live off the meat, the bones and the hide. They created a culture and became known as the Ingia's or the inja's.

Now there arose in the land of Missouri a race of native people called the Kansa. They were an intricate part of this story and I believe people who at one time rode the rivers from a land we'll call Katika. Now you say that's fiction. Just hang on and lets see where it goes. They rode the rivers of the Bear Paw sea to the place where the land floods. They were the wind people and I believe they are an intricate story that connects Canada and America. Now the Kaw people were also called the Can people. We'll call them the people of the hollow, or the people of the Drum. They followed the river south until it carried them to the land of salt. Now there is the center of America and there is a battle that had been fought between the new men, the cowboys with their cattle, and the old men, the Ka, the Ca, or the original A Mer cans. People of the sea. People who rode the Bear Paw sea all the way down to Kansas City, Missouri.

Now most of you think its fiction. Some think it so. I don't. I think there is truth here and its important for us to see this connection because Canada means people of the Kaw or Can means empty hollow and ada means dawn. Canada was the dawn people. The people of the morning. The people who were part of the history of the United States. You will find this no where else in the world. We Cowboys? Well, we were part of an invading culture but not in a bad way I believe. I do think our big mistake was putting up so many fences so we became known as the fenced in land. And if there is a moral to this story it is that this is only the taste of things to come. There is more and it will be more exciting.

It also means Hide as to hide under the Pelt. To Pelt someone means to cast stones. Now if we are Spelt it means to spell out some letter or word. But lets go a little deeper into this because it does get strange if you think about it. Lets imagine that Janitor was an ancient Dragon who's job was to sweep the stars. During his job he 'cleaned' the shelves of dust and debris. Now among the shelves was a Psalter, a book if you will, the was written with the history of two people. God and man. It was a pearl, if you will, of great price. Now this Dragon was meant to follow a li. He would sweep it clean and once his job was finished he could go off and do what he wished.

 But during one of his sweeps an old Psalter, an old book fell to the floor. Rather than putting the remains of it back on the shelf, he carried it to a dustbin we'll call Time. Now Time carried it to the furnace. And from the furnace the ashes were collected by Death and carried to the valley of Gehenna. Garbage heap.

Now we would think this story should have ended there. Man was lost in time and space. The only book that remained on the shelf was thrown out. But God saw it and remembered man. All he had of this special book was a word and that WORD was his son. His son had to find a way of restoring the knowledge of that Word of Man for man was beyond measure in value.

But how do you ressurect men from the ash heap of history? By going to the Bazaar and paying the price in blood. And so his son went. But we men who remain here on earth sought out knowledge and I knew that if God were to teach me that what he taught me should be of value. And it was. He taught me the history of the Tree of Knowledge and Good and Evil. And I found that there didn't seem to be anyone else who wanted that knowledge. And I got it. But in so doing I became involved with the Tor, that is the Bull or Buffalo or story which still remains hidden to the eyes and ears of mankind.

 Remember the Janitor? The dragon who swept li's for a living? He became the father of Lies. You know him as Satan. Guess where he was found? In the Tree of Knowledge. Guess what he did with man? He threw us into the unsaved department. The Garbage heap. So, what do you do with a Dragon or a Devil or a Serpent who throws us into the Garbage because we are like dust to him? You guessed it. We needed Salt. We needed Light. And most of all we need someone to rescue us so they could become the Saver and Salvation and Savior or mankind. He was the Word. And if there was a Word that remained to this Lost Book then it was we, the people of earth, who had to find a way to help him help us fight our way to the top of the heap. But somehow we got lost in the maze. Now Maize, Wisdom, was there to help us. But we through out the Maze because it proved to be too tough of a puzzle to figure out.

 Well, we still have the Janitor. The Woman of the law. There in were many of them. They were called the Cour's after the la of the Psalm or Psalter. And there other names included Freedom, Liberty, Hope, Truth, Wisdom, Beauty, Rose, Grace, Joy, Prosperity and Laughter. Call them the Heart of the La. They were beautiful beyond understanding. They carried the heart of the la to men as a gift but the Dragon saw that gift and thought it was garbage and cast them into the furnace with all the other garbage. And that garbage was you and I.

We were cast down to earth by Sin. But think of the casting going back to the Buffalo again. For the Buffalo wore a pelt. And if you had a Pelt you could hide in it like a seed. And now imagine you cast down stones and cast off knowledge but hid yourself in the tree of knowledge and became part of that seed. And that seed became the enmity. The enemy of mankind.

How did Satan do it? Well, in fact this is a deep subject. So forgive me if I go a little deeper into this story. At one time there was a world we will call Mer. Mer is a word that has hit Earth on all scales and all models. It has become part of our culture and part of the Biblical culture. It was a world of beauty and was know as the Mer Sea or Mercy. Eventually it became not just the Mer Sea but when the law arrived the T was added so it became the Mercy Seat or position. Now you wonder where I obtained this knowledge and the answer is by prayer with God.

 Now it came to pass that Wisdom arose on this world and among them the La's of Time. They were part of the Cour, the woman side of the Court. Now Cour means heart but it also refers to the heart of the la. The heart was meant to be filled with Joy but Joy was thrown out by the Dragon. There is a long story to that which I'll write someday soon I hope. Joy was part of the Song of the Lord and part of the Story of man. When Joy was thrown out there was an Assasin, or the spirit of murder, which arose in the lands. Assassin was said to go back to the Islamic order of Hashin's but I believe we need to understand that God is in control of the language. Assess means to weigh in the balance. I believe the word Assass means to create an imbalance in justice. I also believe it means to cover up or to create darkness for. So if we are to have a spirit of darkness at work then it is Sin. Now Sin is in the heart of Satan. That means that spirit of sin is sent to create an imbalance in justice. It does so by casting out the woman side of the equation. Those la's as previously mentioned. The main one being Joy. Now if the Dragon throws out the La's of Wisdom then there is created a part of history.

 In the South East part of India there is a cult called Kondh-paraja. They practice human sacrifice but they use a phrase called Meriah. In a strange twist of fate I was talking to God about this very word this morning but in a totally unrelated meaning. I was saying that if God were to come back to earth (see Psalm 2) that men would reject his authority. If he were to create a kingdom of his own so that all the seas of all the world would be removed and that 'free land' would then become his there is no one who could really complain. And if this mammoth new nation were to rise up it could be called Meriah. Now its true that I did not know the size of it nor the fact that it was used in SE Indian as a form of human sacrifice. Originally to appease Mother Earth Goddess a young virgin girl was originally chosen but later the high priest chose to sacrifice his eldest son. The purpose was that they might have a good harvest and healing of sickness and disease. Now the author of this article felt that the loss of Meriah, or human sacrifice was a loss to their culture. Instead the people believed that a buffalo could substitute for the human sacrifice and a ewe for the female infanticide. Today this religion still operates but they call the Sacrifice the JaniPod of Buffalo of the High Priest. If we go into it based on our story then we find a strange story. That the Jani or birth from the woman, we'll call her Mara for bitterness, was a woman of Wisdom. The Pod that came from her was a new law we'll call the Sting of Death. The price this new law created was called the Sin price. The Sin price was the mark, or the cast of the lot. Both required that the person involved pay the price in a form that was acceptable to the law. The Sin price could be paid in Time or in Death and each carried a Mark that notarized the Sin price. Thus there were two marks that fell to those who were under the Sin Price. To gain a third mark indicated that there were those who had become like the beast of the field and had gone to a realm where there understanding had fled. Thus Man became the third Mark because he had given up his spirit to Time, to Death and Sin had paid the price for him.

Now if there were to be a healing of the third mark there had to be a way to free men from the mark of Time, from the Mark of Death and from the Price of Sin. This meant there were only a handful of people who could create a system to restore the balance to Mans favor. One was God and the other was His son who was called the WORD. The Word defeated Sin and Death and Satan in what we will call a great showdown. That left only Time. And Time, like the stop watch, was winding down to a massive conclusion. And God waited because it was up to Men to defeat Time before the beast rose out of the Abyss of Time and carried the third Mark to mar mankind forever.
