Hollow Earth Expedition

Listening: Rumors of Ancient Tunnel Systems with David Hatcher Childress, on the Laura Lee show.

Feeling: Trusted. Today my new private yoga student confided deeply in me. I'm honoured that he felt safe enough to do. It's an amazing priveledge.

Fancy yourself a bit of an explorer? All you need to be part of this trek are the banknotes and you are in!

"Outdoorsman and explorer Steve Currey is planning a 24-day "Voyage to Our Hollow Earth" that he hopes to launch in June, 2005. This is no joke. Currey, who says he has led expeditions all over the world with US Senators, Congressmen, Heads of State, business leaders, celebrities and other explorers, is chartering a Russian nuclear icebreaker to take 100 people on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage."

Don't know if I'd have the guts even if I had the money, but if you do, can you please report back here after your return? I would give almost anything to hear about what you find!

I have been totally fascinated with stories of the Hollow Earth ever since I was a child. One of my favourite books from around 5 0r 6, which I read numerous times over was about jovial little people who lived underground, mined for gold and sang songs. I couldn't get enough of it. As an adult I can see the story triggered some kind of cellular memory - some part of me understood that there was some truth behind the tale. Maybe not that specifically, but I do believe there is sentient life of some kind down there.

More recently I've been totally intrigued by the accounts of the beings who are reportedly living in the inner Earth under Mt Shasta in California, where a thriving spiritual community lives. People walking on the mountain, have, for at least the last 40 years told stories of encountering beings there that say they live in the inner Earth, and that they are the remnants of the ancient civilization of Lemuria. Telos, precicely. Diane Robbins has written a convincing book about it which I'd recommend checking out if this interests you too. You can read an amazing message from one of its inhabitants, Adama, there too.

For more on Telos, go here. And check out more underground civilizations like Agartha (I LOVE that name).

Another fabulous story is from David Hatcher Childress who has done extensive searches through many of the world's most mysterious underground tunnels, particularly across South America. Hear a fantastic interview with him here, on the Laura Lee show, where he describes how in the 70's the Brazilian army was sent to investigate some of these tunnels. They marched for 3 days underground, through a tunnel that was 8 ft wide and 10 ft high until they arrived at a huge chamber that had four tunnels leading off it in four directions. At that point they decided to turn back as they couldn't see how far they extended, but Childress related that it was through these tunnels that ancient Maya probably escaped Cortez, taking them from Guatemala and Mexico through Brazil all the way to Peru.

Then there are the incredible stories from Admiral Byrd, who was the first to fly over the North Pole in 1926. In 1947, it is said he took a secret flight back there as he where he witnessed what sounds like an interdimensional portal of some kind.

The "evidence" for this flight comes from a highly controversial "lost diary" kept by Byrd and miraculously found in the 1970s by "The Society for a Complete Earth." In it he writes that as he looked down from his plane, he saw not snow, but green vegetation, grassy valleys and mountains not shown on any map.

It is this last story that has captivated imaginations ever since the discovery in the 70's of the alleged diaries and the same one that has inspired Steve Currey to see wheteher there's anything to it. There are some pretty interesting satellite photos here to make you wonder...
