This thing doesn’t look so bad does it?

Additional this gigantic, voracious predator has a quarter-inch stinger (6.35mm)!
People are usually not the Japanese giant hornet’s prey,
but those who have felt its sting describe the pain as excruciating and very painful. Masato Ono,
an entomologist at Tamagawa University, near Tokyo,
said it’s “like getting hot nail through my leg.”

This is Wild looking!
Well this is real cool but is it real or fake?

Anyone have Thoughts on the
Claude Lelouch Trip through Paris Film "C'est un Rendezvous"

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

The case of Marilyn Monroe/Sherrie Lea Laird
is presented courtesy of Adrian Finkelstein, MD.



Adrian Finkelstein, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist who as been performing past life regressions as part of his practice for almost 30 years. Over six years ago, Dr. Finkelstein began working with Sherrie Lea Laird, who contacted him due to disturbing flashbacks of a past lifetime in which it appeared that she was Marilyn Monroe. After conducting extensive past life regressions, Dr. Finkelstein become convinced that Ms. Laird is indeed the reincarnation of Ms. Monroe, not only due to her memories, but also due to the presence of similarities in facial bone structure, hands, handwriting, voice pattern, linguistics and personality traits that exist between Marilyn Monroe and Sherrie Lea Laird.

Further, Dr. Finkelstein notes that Ted Jordan (deceased), a close friend of Ms. Monroe's and author of Norma Jean: My Secret Life with Marilyn Monroe, had extensive telephone conversations with Ms. Laird. Mr. Jordan also came to the conclusion that Ms. Laird is the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe.

Dr. Finkelstein’s work will be summarized in his upcoming book, Marilyn Monroe Returns, The Healing of a Soul, which will be released by Hampton Roads Publishing in Spring, 2006. Ms. Laird, who goes by the stage name, Sherrie Lea, is a singer whose production of No Ordinary Love hit the top of the charts in Canada and Europe. It is interesting to note that in her film Bus Stop, Marilyn’s role was of a singer named Cherie.


As mentioned, Ms. Laird sought out Dr. Finkelstein after she started experiencing disturbing, intrusive flashbacks of her life as Marilyn Monroe. It is common in reincarnation cases that memories can be disturbing, as the individual does not have a context to understand the memories. As such, past life memories can interfere with life activities.

This type of reaction was also described in the Barbro Karlen/Anne Frank case. Barbro began having spontaneous memories at age three which were so vivid that she lived, in effect, a double life. Her parents, who were Christians, did not understand how Barbro could have memories of another lifetime and were made uncomfortable by her experiences, which resulted in emotional isolation for Barbro as a child. When the memories started to subside at age 15, Barbro experienced great relief, as she was now able to live life “just as Barbro.”
In a similar way, Sherrie was distressed by these intrusive memories of a past lifetime and sought out Dr. Finkelstein, who had been performing past life regressions for over thiry years and who had written, Your Past Lives and the Healing Process: A Psychiatrist Looks at Reincarnation and Spiritual Healing, first published in 1985. Dr. Finkelstein’s own history is quite dramatic and lends credibility to the reincarnation case of Marilyn Monroe/Sherrie Lea Laird.

Dr. Finkelstein grew up in Communist Rumania at the end of the WWII. Due to the anti-Semitism that was characteristic of Rumania at that time, through great effort, Dr. Finkelstein and his family immigrated to Israel in the winter of 1960-61. His family was poor and he describes walking through the snow in torn shoes as his family made the rounds to make the necessary bribes to Communist officials, to get the needed paperwork to depart. To prepare for their planned move to Israel, Dr. Finkelstein taught himself Hebrew in secret, as it was illegal to study Hebrew in Romania.

Though the competition was great, Dr. Finkelstein was admitted to the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School. It was here that he first was exposed to hypnosis, which was used by a mentor to treat severe cases of asthma. Dr. Finkelstein witnessed how hypnosis could be used to stop severe asthma attacks in an almost miraculous way, which made a great impression on him. In 1967, Dr. Finkelstein served as a medical officer in the Six Day War, treating Israelis and Arabs alike. He won his MD in 1968.

After moving to the United States, Dr. Finkelstein was accepted at the Menninger School of Psychiatry, which at the time, was one of the premiere psychiatric training institutes in the world. While at Menninger, Dr. Finkelstein cured one of his mentors of chronic, severe migraine headaches through hypnosis. After he graduated from Menniger, Dr. Finkelstein was given the Directorship of Outpatient Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago, and in addtion took on the position Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Chicago Medical School, University of Health Sciences in Chicago. He later became Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Rush University, Rush Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Finkelstein also undertook personal analysis for about 700 hours with a training analyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute in Chicago. During this time in Chicago, Dr. Finkelstein started doing past life regression therapy.

I cite Dr. Finkelstein’s history and qualifications so that the reader with understand that he is an experienced psychiatrist and past life regression therapist who would easily distinguish genuine past life memories from fabricated memories, which makes the Marilyn Monroe/Sherry Lea Laird case all the more compelling. In his upcoming book, Dr. Finkelstein explains how Ms. Laird, who happens to be an excellent hypnotic subject, was guided into a “somnambulistic hypnotic state,” characterized by specific features, such as a “waxy face,” resulting from deeply relaxed facial musculature, which cannot be faked. Information obtained in this state is considered to be truthful, which is one reason why Dr. Finkelstein believes that Ms. Laird is the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe.

One question that is often asked is why is it that it seems that everyone thinks they are someone famous in a past lifetime? The truth is that most people were not famous in past lives. Many times, when a psychic or a person gets an intuitive hit that an individual was a famous person in a past lifetime, in actually, the famous person is acting as a “landmark” for that incarnation. For example, a psychic may get the impression that a client was Cleopatra in a past lifetime, when in actuality, the client was Cleopatra’s advisor, maid or acquaintance. The psychic can't come up with the client’s specific name or identity in that era, so the closet, most prominent individual in that era, Cleopatra, pops into the psychic’s mind. I call these “landmark associations,” as the famous person acts as a landmark for a person’s past lifetime.

On the other hand, famous people have to reincarnate just like everyone else and recent reincarnation research indicates that people reincarnate very quickly, almost continually. If this is true, then we would expect people such as Marilyn Monroe and Anne Frank to be reincarnated at this point in time.

Some of the best reincarnation research has been done by Ian Stevenson, MD, at the University of Virginia, who made a career out of studying children who have spontaneous memories of past lives. Two key Stevenson cases have been published in the book Old Souls, written by journalist Tom Shroder. These two cases involve individuals from Lebanon, Suzanne Ghanem and Daniel Jurdi. Stevenson first studied Ghanem and Jurdi when they were approximately 3 years old, when they began having spontaneous memories of past lifetimes.

Each child gave their biologic parents enough specific information, such as their past life family names and villages of origin, that the biologic parents were able to reunite the children with their past life families. When reunited, the child could identify past life family members by name and they knew secrets that no one outside of the past life family knew. The knowledge of these children, Suzanne Ghanem and Daniel Jurdi, was so impressive, that their past life families accepted them as the reincarnation of their deceased family members.

Dr. Stevenson studied the Ghanem and Jurdi over 25 years ago, when they were young children. In their past lives, Suzanne Ghanem’s name was Hanan Monsour and Daniel Jurdi’s name was Rashid Khaddege. In 1998, Stevenson revisited Ghanem and Jurdi, who were now adults. A dramatic finding was that Ghanem and Jurdi, as adults, have the same physical appearance, the same facial features, as they did when they were adults in their previous lives.



The assertion that people reincarnate quickly, almost continually, is supported by the fact that Suzanne Ghanem was born only 10 days after Hanan Monsour died. Daniel Jurdi was born approximately a year after Rashid Khaddege died. The cases of Hanan Monsour/Suzanne Ghanem and Rashid Khaddege/Daniel Jurdi are featured in more detail in Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited, as well as in Tom Shroder’s, Old Souls.

This observation that people have the same facial features from lifetime to lifetime has been corroborated in many other independently researched reincarnation cases, many of which are featured on this website, such as the cases of neurosurgeon Norm Shealy, Police Captain Robert Snow, Fire Chief Jeff Keene, William Barnes and the case of Barbro Karlen/Anne Frank.

How do we validate past life matches as accurate matches? In validating a past life case, the following criteria should be met:

Facial Features should be consistent from lifetime to lifetime
Personality traits are similar. Oftentimes passions and talents are consistent from lifetime to lifetime.
Linguistic writing style is consistent, as demonstrated in the case of Jeff Keene, where a formal linguistic analysis showed that writing structure in successive lifetimes is consistent
People incarnate in karmic groups, so friends and family present in a prior lifetime should be found in one’s contemporary circle.
Another method of validation that I have used is confirming the case through Kevin Ryerson, the trance medium who has been featured in three of Shirley MacLaine’s books, who has demonstrated an ability to make accurate past life matches. Past life matches featured on this web site that were made through Mr. Ryerson include those of Ralph Nader, Carl Sagan and Oprah Winfrey.

The case of Marilyn Monroe/Sherrie Lea Laird, meets all the criteria listed above and as such, I too support it as a valid reincarnation case. Dr. Finkelstein’s book, Marilyn Monroe Returns, The Healing of a Soul, will be published by Hampton Roads and released in Spring, 2006. I guarantee that it will be a fascinating read.

The Secrets of Coral Castle



Did a Latvian immigrant rediscover the secrets to the building of the pyramids... of levitation... of anti-gravity? His amazing "castle" may hold clues to long-lost powers.

paranormal.about.com/g...astle.com/


Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida, is one of the most amazing structures ever built. In terms of accomplishment, it’s been compared to Stonehenge, ancient Greek temples, and even the great pyramids of Egypt. It is amazing – some even say miraculous – because it was quarried, fashioned, transported, and constructed by one man: Edward Leedskalnin, a 5-ft. tall, 100-lb. Latvian immigrant.

Many men have single-handedly built their own homes, but Leedskalnin’s choice of building materials is what makes his undertaking so incredible. He used huge blocks of coral rock, some weighing as much as 30 tons, and somehow was able to move them and set them in place without assistance or the use of modern machinery. And therein lies the mystery. How did he do it?

It’s estimated that 1,000 tons of coral rock were used in construction of the walls and towers, and an additional 100 tons of it were carved into furniture and art objects:

An obelisk he raised weighs 28 tons.
The wall surrounding Coral Castle stands 8 ft. tall and consists of large blocks each weighing several tons.
Large stone crescents are perched atop 20-ft.-high walls.
A 9-ton swinging gate that moves at the touch of a finger guards the eastern wall.
The largest rock on the property weighs an estimated 35 tons.
Some stones are twice the weight of the largest blocks in the Great Pyramid at Giza.
Leedskalnin on
Magnetic Current

Ed Leedskalnin wrote several booklets which he sold to tourists as they marveled at his structure. One of them, called “Magnetic Current” is available to read online at the above link. In it he reveals the results of two years of experiments with magnets. Perhaps he reveals his secrets of levitation when he writes: “The real magnet is the substance that is circulating in the metal. Each particle in the substance is an individual magnet by itself, and both North and South Pole individual magnets. They are so small that they can pass through anything. In fact they can pass through metal easier than through the air. They are in constant motion, they are running one kind of magnets against the other kind, and if guided in the right channels they possess perpetual power.”

Working alone, Leedskalnin labored for 20 years – from 1920 to 1940 – to build the home he originally called “Rock Gate Park” in Florida City. The story goes that he built it after being jilted by his fiancée, who changed her mind about marrying him because he was too old and too poor. After wandering around the U.S. and Canada for several years, Leedskalnin settled in Florida City for health reasons; he had been diagnosed with tuberculosis. He began building his coral home in 1920. Then in 1936, when a planned new subdivision of homes threatened his privacy, Leedskalnin moved his entire home 10 miles to Homestead, where he completed it, and where it still stands as a tourist attraction.

How Leedskalnin managed this feat of engineering has remained a mystery all these years because, incredibly, no one saw him do it. A secretive man, Leedskalnin often worked at night by lantern light. And so there are no credible witnesses to how the small, frail man was able to move the huge blocks of rock. Even when he moved the entire structure to Homestead, neighbors saw the coral blocks being transported on a borrowed truck, but no one seems to know how Leedskalnin got them on and off the vehicle.

Lots of weird stories have been told and bizarre theories proposed to explain Coral Castle. And since no witness can dispute any of them, they are all worthy of consideration.

The Theories

One story says that some curious neighbors did see how Leedskalnin moved the stones. They say he placed his hands on the stone to be lifted... and sang. Somehow this levitated the great rocks.
According to an article in Fate magazine, “some teenagers spying on him one evening claimed they saw him ‘float coral blocks through the air like hydrogen balloons,’ but no one took them seriously.”
Frank Joseph, in the Fate magazine article, also writes, “Alternative science investigators suggest that Leedskalnin somehow learned the secret of the ‘world grid,’ an invisible pattern of energy lines surrounding the Earth which concentrates points of telluric power where they intersect. It was here, at one of these intersections of Earth energy, that he was supposedly able to move his prodigious stone blocks using the unseen power of our planet.” Yet that still does no explain how Leedskalnin was able to tap this power, and others cannot.
Coral Castle quotes J. Cathie, a captain flying with National Airways Corp. of New Zealand, as saying: “Measurements from the Coral Castle position to the zero-degree and 90-degree longitude lines, when they passed through the equator, also yielded harmonics related to light and gravity. The final check of the distance between Coral Castle and grid pole A in the north, dispelled any doubt about the site being in an ideal position to allow Leedskalnin to erect the huge blocks of coral with relative ease. Measurements from all major points gave the geometric harmonics necessary for the manipulation of anti-gravity.” Cathie also believes that this energy grid is also responsible for many UFO sightings.
In an article by called "The Coral Castle Mystery" in Atlantis Rising, author Christopher Dunn asserts: “What if there’s no such thing as gravity? And the natural forces we already know about are sufficient to explain the noted phenomena we have labeled as gravity? Perhaps Leedskalnin’s means of working with the Earth’s gravitational pull was nothing more complicated than devising a means by which the alignment of magnetic elements within his coral blocks was adjusted to face the streams of individual magnets he claims are issuing forth from the Earth with a like repelling pole.”
When he was personally asked how he managed the feat, Leedskalnin replied only that he understood the laws of weight and leverage. He is quoted as saying, “I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids. I have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons.”
According the The Enigma of Coral Castle, “Ed flatly disagreed with modern science, and claimed that the scientists were wrong, ‘that nature is simple.’ He believed all matter consisted of individual magnets, and it is the movement of these magnets within materials, and through space, that produce measurable phenomena, magnetism, and electricity. These concepts ‘involved the relationship of the Earth to celestial alignments.’ He claimed to see beads of light which he believed to be the physical presence of nature’s magnetism and life force, or what we term today, chi.”
Was Leedskalnin being deceptive when he talked about magnetism and electricity, trying to make his accomplishment more mystical and mysterious than it actually was? Had he merely found a very clever way to manipulate the great stones with levers and pulleys? We may never know the answer. Leedskalnin took his secrets with him to his grave in 1951... secrets that await to be rediscovered.
