What kind of road was it?
A golden one.
And that is not a hint about the gold commodity price - which of course does seem to be rising a touch.
The trouble with the gold price in recent times is that it is in fact quite volatile for anyone who is actually messing around with leveraged positions. Don't do it, is my suggestion.
Buy gold?
The golden stairs, the golden walls, the golden chandeliers... |
For sure you can.
Slowly, with physical delivery, and over a long time.
The 'road to Samarkand,' though, is golden.
What is this 'Samarkand' and why was it regarded as a worthwhile place to take a long journey to?
Well, your history books will tell you nothing.
However 'Roshana' means from the stars, or an actual star. And the stars that fell from the sky and landed leaving mounds of stones (Classical Greek: marak/s) - which same word is the actual basis for 'San Marco Piazza' in Venice (because that 'Marco' has nothing to do with 'Saint Mark' as most people believe, although it has been syncretised with the modern Christian religion) are thought of as sacred to the God Hermes. ...'Sa'Marak'Qand.'
There is much more to the ancient traditional folklore involved here than the superficial stories that are still vaguely intact from the past. But one clue is that Roshana (the wife of Alexander the Great) dedicated herself to the God Athena.
The whole entire basis of Muhammad's account about meeting with a being who appeared at first like a star and then either held a bow and arrow, or was - who stood and communicated - a shot bow's length away from him -, comes from this specific ancient cultural folklore about beings who flew like arrows through the night sky (aka 'Sogdians:' those who shoot arrows) and were stars or from stars.

To travel to Samarkand means to travel to an unearthly place, which had direct connections even to the stars.
After all, Hassan and his friends already had all the valuable silk and confectionery and spices; which they were bringing with them to trade - so they were not going to Samarkand for those things. And sure, maybe there was money to be had there but then, so was there in Baghdad where they were leaving from.
So why make the long and hazardous journey to Samarkand?
Was the ruler there better or wiser than the Caliph of Baghdad?
Could have been...
But the story is essentially about human life and human death, and not the difference merely between earthly rulers.
As we move into the next phase of heightened mainstream media reportage about what the CIA apparently 'knows' and also what it organizes and coordinates for outside-of-official-government military equipment and weapons technology manufacturers to do with the suggested finding of nine separate ET Alien craft including two that are fully intact - and the re-engineering of or the back-engineering from, all of this 'recovered' hardware - let me just re-state what we have been saying here for five years or longer:
None of this, what the media is talking about, is true at all.
Rotations in the aerial silks... Round and round and round. While you hear the music blasting from the track below. |
The truth is more esoteric, more exotic, more sinister, and more 'conspiracy thinking' aligned than anything about what the CIA has or does with supposed 'recovered technology.'
If you, for example, were a person who had found your way to Nevada, out to the desert there, and were actually beginning to engage and very modestly, communicate with ET Aliens - the secret cadres within government who monitor these things would hunt you down and they would stop what you were doing and sometimes that would be very aggressively done.
They tend not to do it with the women who go out there, and the crazy post-modern 'Hippies,' because they can control those and even manipulate them and certainly, they can insert 'plants' into the groups and subvert their thinking quite easily.
Plenty of fact-based details emerge into the public arena but these are also brutally messed with eventually and end up as part of a very mixed-up 'story' in the public's mind.
The biggest mistake anyone can ever make with all of this is to think that 'the government' (that is to say, those who are active there in all of this, whether the OGA or the CIA), is also 'searching for answers' like anyone else might be doing.
The government (IE 'the government') knows 100% what this is all about.
They already have access to a lot of super-advanced technology and do not need any from ET Aliens that are trying to reach out to us.
...But if you keep your eyes and ears open, and just be more skeptical of the official propaganda and consider things more using your own logic instead - you will probably not miss the key moments and the key understandings that are required in order to make sense of any of it and then see through the trajectory of events as they unfold.
You would be surprised how much ET Aliens are interested in beer, as much as they are in golden roads, and how they place themselves (they are here) in altogether mundane places so that people are mostly all none the wiser.
I've already said too much.
The other big mistake is to do with trying to have all and sundry 'know' about stuff.
People generally who think they have stumbled onto some 'mighty big secret,' just want to tell the whole world.
Except the world that you are in does not consist of all the same kinds of mindsets within the people here.
Do not be naive.
You can 'get out' in the 'dead of night -,' more or less alone.
