Dear Carol,
He was known as The King.
He took the country by storm, musically, but when he first started out, he started as a gospel singer.
Tomorrow he will tell you the story of his mission and what happened to pull him away from his mission.
Elvis is ready to return. He’ll tell you when he is coming and who he will be as he has already completed his plans.

This totally blew me away, as I have seen no mention of Elvis on this site. I have only read a few pages on the site, but one that caught my eye was this one
<!-- m -->http://www.iamjeshuareturned.com/jeshua_dna.html<!-- m -->
Please look at the above link. It says "I Am Jeshua Returned, The Light Of The World"
("This Is It, Here i stand, I'm the Light of the World, I feel grand")
Under that title is a lovely picture. Above the pic it says JESHUA'S DNA, and below the pic this
"My DNA came to humanity through these means and you in the world now hold this DNA in your blood. Thus my DNA runs through your veins and I come now to enliven it." - Jeshua
Which reminds me of this MJ song lyric <!-- s:-) -->:-)<!-- s:-) -->
'Cause we're all the same
Yes, the blood inside me is inside of you
Now, tell me
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
I don't know what to think of the email, it has me hopeful? Anyway, thought I'd share.
Much Love & Light,

An yes agree about "Can you feel it" was listening to it whilst drving the other day, I had never noticed the phrase "all the colours of the world unite" before, just like Black or White. Why did I never hear it that way before, must have been asleep, Im awakened now <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
Where is all this going

Wow....what a tangled web we are entwined in. I went to the site above in bold and this is what I find...The very first paragraph under "Why this book" is a comment about the same guy that all the hoopla is about at Forest Lawn...Yogananda! <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> What's going on? Oh...my aching head..Going back to my padded cell now! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> LOVE & Blessings to All <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
[center:2641wvdc]Why this book?[/center:2641wvdc]
"If Yogananda’s verse strikes a hidden chord of your heart; a child’s smile uplifts your soul; if you see profundity in an age-worn, wrinkled face – Chaos Before Creation is for you."
If you are mystified by the beauty of a ripening fruit; an awakening dawn; a sparkling dewdrop dancing on a fallen leaf – Chaos Before Creation is for you.
This book reveals ancient secrets for discovering total health and happiness now. It offers an avenue to deeper meaning in your life. The text will expand your understanding of the universe and help you BELIEVE in limitless possibilities.
Chaos Before Creation is the rarest of books. It transcends the limits of the mundane world to bring you wisdom from towering personalities of other times, as revealed to you by Carolyn Evers.
The contributors of this wisdom include Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, Mother Theresa, Kwan Yin, Fred Astaire, and Marilyn Monroe – to name just a few.
The contributors to this book collectively explore how humanity’s past has defined our present, and they tap into the wisdom of our past to lead humanity to a brighter future.
The author, Carolyn Evers, remembers many of her own past lifetimes, including a life as Julia, daughter of Julius Caesar. “Communicating across the veil is a skill I have used in many lifetimes,” says Ms. Evers. In this lifetime, her mission is to work with advanced souls on the other side to bring forth their wisdom in book form to help humanity navigate the upheavals and changes of our time.
Ms. Evers has dedicated this book to her son Shawn, who died over 20 years ago at the age of 16. She says of him:
“Shawn’s and my souls are twin flames who form strands of the same spiritual DNA. We have shared many lifetimes together, and I have been on so many incredible journeys with him as he holds back the streams of time so I can go into the spiritual realms and speak to the Ascended Masters and individuals from the past. This book is dedicated to him and my fondly cherished memories of all those past lifetimes together.”
I was a prisoner, carrying a heavy load of bones and flesh
But I have broken the chains of my muscle bound body.
The roaring, shouting torrent of life force
Moving through the heart into the body,
The beat and roar of the heart – all are gone.
Like a sacred hidden river
My life force flows in the gorges in my spine
Turning Backward, Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda was a famous Indian guru and yogi who died almost 60 years ago and his crypt happens to be inside the same mausoleum where MJ resides.
<!-- m -->http://www.tmz.com/2010/08/02/forest-la ... yogananda/<!-- m -->
Besides this highly strange "coincidence" with Yogananda, I also still can't get over the email telling me that Elvis is going to return!
Elvis is ready to return. He’ll tell you when he is coming and who he will be as he has already completed his plans.

The link directly above is the one I guess that will have this revelation from Elvis. I'm definitely curious to hear what is said. I try to research everything and consider it before I dismiss it. I guess I only have a few hours till I can hear it. I hope others will also listen so we can compare notes.

In December 1976, Elvis requested that television evangelist Rex Humbard and his wife Maude Aimee meet with him backstage in Las Vegas in between sets. "Jesus is coming back really soon, isn't he, Rex?" Elvis said as he began quoting all kinds of Scriptures about the Second Coming. "It really shocked me that Elvis knew all of those Scriptures from the Old and New Testaments about the Lord's return," Humbard told me in an interview.
The prayers of Elvis's final days
"Elvis recommitted his life to Jesus Christ on that night," says Rick Stanley, Elvis's stepbrother. "Elvis knew the Lord. He was a modern day King David," he told me in an interview. Stanley believes that, like King David of the Bible, Presley was a man who pursued God, yet stumbled often into the sins of the flesh.
On the day before Presley died, Stanley told Elvis that a friend of his was telling him about Jesus and how she was praying for him. "Elvis Presley, at 42 years old, looked at me and said, 'Ricky, she's telling you the truth.' Then he said, 'People who talk to you about Jesus really care.' I talked with Elvis for a while … then left to run an errand." When he returned to Graceland, Elvis was dead.
On the night of his death, Elvis prayed, "Dear Lord, please show me a way. I'm tired and confused, and I need your help." A few minutes later, he looked at Stanley and said, "Rick, we should all begin to live for Christ." On the previous day, Stanley heard Elvis praying, "God, forgive me for my sins. Let…people…have compassion and understanding of the things I have done."
Elvis was not a saint, and no one knew that better than Presley himself. He was an enigma who touched a nerve in American culture. There is, of course, no one on the planet that can attract 70,000 fans to his gravesite to recognize the 25th anniversary of his death. While there, fans recited the Lord's Prayer, repeated the 23rd Psalm, and joined together in singing "How Great Thou Art."
Elvis Presley's Gospel Dream
As a young child, the singer's love for music brought him to the front of his church choir, imagining a time he'd be on stage.
BY: Joe Moscheo
As many people know, Elvis Aaron Presley was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935. He was the surviving twin; his brother, Jesse Garon, was stillborn. His parents brought him home to a two-room house barely four hundred square feet in size. His circumstances could hardly have been more humble, but he would remember and appreciate all his life the love he received from his family. His father was a hardworking man who stayed with his son throughout his life, supporting the pursuit of his dreams and, in later years, assisting with the financial oversight of his son's interests.
But it was with his mother that Elvis developed the deepest and most lasting of bonds. She kept constant watch over her son, walking him to and from school each day, even into his teenage years. He would never forget her devotion and her constancy. In many important ways, Gladys Presley's presence would make itself known throughout Elvis' life, often at moments when he was searching for guidance.
The Presleys were known to their Tupelo neighbors as a musical family. One of Elvis' earliest gifts was a guitar, purchased from a local hardware store. Residents of the small Mississippi town recall the Presleys sitting on the front porch of their small house in the evenings, singing. Sometimes, one or more of Elvis' uncles or aunts would come over and join in passing the time with music. Of course, no one in Tupelo at that time suspected they were listening to a voice that would become one of the most distinctive, well-known voices in American musical history.
The Presleys attended the First Assembly of God Church in East Tupelo, pastored by Reverend James Ballard, and later the First Assembly of God of Tupelo, where Reverend Rex Dyson was the minister; the three Presleys were baptized as members of this congregation. Gladys Presley would report that even as a toddler Elvis would squirm out of her lap and run down to the front of the church where the choir stood, watching them and imitating their voices and movements. A fifth-grade teacher once related that Elvis spontaneously demonstrated his musical talents, breaking into his own rendition of a then-popular song, "Old Shep." With her encouragement, he would repeat his performance for a talent contest at a state fair.
Picture this scene: Elvis Presley, probably no more than eight or ten years old, sits in the pews of the Assembly of God Church on a hot summer night in Tupelo. The windows of the church are open, and the women are working those cardboard funeral home fans for all they're worth. Elvis is squirming in his seat with excitement, because he has come, with his mom and dad, to a gospel singing by a real quartet, and he can hardly wait for the show to start. He has heard this quartet sing on the radio, and he can hardly believe he's about to see them in person.
A former neighbor, Janelle McComb, relates her memory of this squirmy kid: "We'd see him around town, see him at gospel singings, but...remember, back in those days, [we] weren't talking about the Elvis Presley that you see now....That was Gladys and Vernon's kid."
Most likely, the group got into town that morning, on their way to or from an all-night singing in Memphis. They went to the local radio station, a 500-watt setup broadcasting only during the daytime and barely reaching the city limits, and made a special pitch for tonight's performance at the church, telling everyone to be sure to attend, and "bring a friend." During the rest of the day, they set up their record racks in the church vestibule, rearranged the podium furniture, hefted the massive upright piano onto the platform, and went somewhere to rest for a little while, clean up, and change into their concert attire.
Finally, when Elvis thinks he can't wait another second, the preacher steps up on the podium. He welcomes everyone and, with the accompanist's help, leads the crowd in a few songs to get things started. Elvis sings out in his clear, child's voice, along with his mother and dad and everyone else. And then it's time for the main event.
"I'd like y'all to welcome these boys," the preacher says, nodding toward the five men sitting in the front pew, smiling and looking perfectly relaxed in their matching suits and ties. "They're going to do some of your favorite songs, and so I'm fixing to turn 'em loose on you now. Boys, get on up here."
The quartet takes the stage. Elvis drinks in the sight of them. Their hair is perfectly combed and the white handkerchiefs in the breast pockets of their coats look as clean and crisp as a brand new dollar bill. The piano player sits down and launches into a lively intro, his left hand loping up and down in octaves and his right hand banging out the chords. Elvis quickly recognizes the tune: "Jesus, Hold My Hand." The four singers are animated, smiling and gesturing to the crowd. Elvis feels as if they're singing every word just for him.
After they've sung for about a half hour or so, the quartet takes a break and the preacher comes back. "Now, folks, these boys agreed to come here and sing for whatever we'd give them, so right now we want to let them take a break while we take up a love offering. Gas is expensive, folks-up to fifteen cents a gallon, the other day-so let's all do our part and help these boys out so they can keep on spreading the Gospel in song."
To young Elvis, these performers were heroes—his idols. In his young imagination, he could see himself standing onstage in a crisp, tailored suit, singing the songs he knew so well, entertaining people and living the life of a professional gospel singer. It was the first dream of his life, and one he never fully left.
It was me that called in. I was hearing all this hoopla about the email through Twitter. I had my doubts so I wanted to make sure by asking a question or two. It's funny to me how most people wanted to know but no one else called in, if they were able to. Please don't speculate. I feel it's no coinsidence that it's soon to be Elvis's death anniversary. Some people will prey on Elvis and MJ fans. Believe it or not, there are still some die hard King of Rock fans that still pray he's alive. Just like with MJ fans people will try to make a buck off our love & memories.
I, for one, believe with everything in me that Michael is living. Whether he comes back or not I just don't know. However, I believe Elvis passed is 1977. So, with all that said if Dr. Richard did indeed channel Elvis then the beloved KOP is has crossed over too. And I don't believe that!
Hi, I'm glad you were listening too. I had the same thing happen...I thought it was just a problem on my end. Well damn! How strange that during the whole program, this was the only glitch <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
I believe that they will probably archive this program. If they do I will post a link and also check to see the written transcript, and what it says.
I liked when "Elvis" answered the question about what he thought of the music industry and he said "Those of the dark have taken over the music industry...to keep listeners in their "left brain"...isolated from their spiritual selves."
I have been watching a series on tv called The Pyramid Code (Documentary Channel). An episode of this show called The Empowered Human talks about ancient Egyptian times when there was great balance, harmony, and enlightenment. "Students" were trained, went through tests that would help them be wise, help them confront their fears, that would balance them in body, mind and emotions. They were given instructions on the mystery traditions of Mayan & Egyptian cosmic cycles. As they approached higher levels of consciousness, they came to respect different aspects of themselves, that were represented in the feminine and the masculine. They went further and called it the "sacred feminine" and "sacred masculine". This was the purest form and was connected to both hemispheres of the brain. Feminine consciousness corresponds to the right hemisphere of the brain and the left side of the body. In contrast, masculine consciousness corresponds to the left hemisphere of the brain and the right side of the body. Below is a chart from the show that lists aspects of masculine & feminine.
Patriarchal Consciousness (Masculine)
History
Linear Time
Dogma
Rationality
Waking Reality
Science
Matriarchal Consciousness (Feminine)
Eternity
Cycles of Time
Ritual
Magic
Altered States
Art
The Egyptians were highly intelligent people and they understood the need for balance with all things. They knew about cycles of time...how humanity went through ages of Enlightenment and also Dark Ages. Despite how highly we think of ourselves, we are living in a Dark Age, where we have forgotten the need for balance. In our culture we have practically erased the feminine in favor of the masculine. Reading, writing and arithmetic are deemed more important than art and music...our culture is completely unbalanced because of it. Males and females need a balance of both the sacred feminine and the sacred masculine within them.
So anyway, back to the quote from "Elvis" ..."Those of the dark have taken over the music industry...to keep listeners in their "left brain"...isolated from their spiritual selves."
Masculine consciousness corresponds to the left hemisphere of the brain and the right side of the body.
We are and have been living in a Patriarchal society for several thousand years. The aspects of the "sacred feminine" have been repressed and we are way out of balance. Thus, like it or not, we are living in a Dark Age. The Egyptians knew this was coming for humanity, and I personally believe they left us valuable information. I also think it is the "elite powers that be" (sorry, mostly males) that keep researchers from truly discovering all that the ancient Egyptians left us in their beautiful monuments and artifacts. All ancient cultures left behind the story of our history and future. It is up to us to look at this information with the proper perspective.
Soooo, many people think the end of the world is coming. I personally think it will be the end of the world as we know it, because we are about to enter a new Age. This was also predicted by various peoples from ancient times. Some call it the Golden Age, or Age of Aquarius. My research into the Aquarian Age says that it will be lead by the feminine consciousness. This is not females taking over, but instead helping to bring back the balance we have lost by having the "sacred feminine" repressed.
Both Elvis and Michael have billions of female admirers, so who better to help bring in the new Age? <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
I've gotten off topic here, but had to add this for those who will understand.
Revelation means to unveil. I think the "Final Curtain Call' will be Michael's unveiling of the TRUTH. It certainly is a wonderful adventure and "We ain't seen nothing yet....The best is yet to come!"
Love & Light,
Carol

Hi Punky. I was the one that received the email and started this thread. I had visited the site a few months ago and had signed up to receive emails from them. Most of the emails I just glanced at till this one came in. It just threw me for a loop because what little I had viewed on the site, I had never seen any mention of Elvis. I understand they claim to channel people. I have no way of knowing if that is possible, but since I can't prove that it is impossible, I remain open to the possibility. I hadn't given any thought to Elvis possibly hoaxing his death until TIAI started giving the redirects. Now I am very open to the thought that he could still be among us. I firmly believe Michael is still alive and doing miraculous things beyond our understanding. Again, I was just so suprised that this site mentioned Elvis' return, so I had to share will everyone just in case there was something to it. I am glad you called in and asked your question. Like myself and another person posted, the answer given to your question wasn't completely heard in the show. Either way, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for but I do think several answers by "Elvis" were interesting and I mentioned them in my last post.
Love & Light,
Carol
As I said before, the majority of the website is sales. But if you still want to check the archive here's the link. <!-- m -->https://www.bbsradio.com/bbsradio/signup.php<!-- m --> Interestingly, you must be a paid subscriber to retrieve archived shows. I personally gave them nearly an hour of my time, I'm certainly not going to give them my hard earned money. Besides, I was the caller. I already know what was said and I wasn't convinced <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
As for the slight interuption in the program while I was on the phone: They effed up. Instead of the producer (or whoever answers the phone) prescreening my call, he just asked me to hold. I was the next one in line, if you can believe that! I think he assumed my questions would be pertaining to Elvis' reincarnation. "Elvis" only talked to me for about 30-45 seconds then the program cut off for a few seconds. Conveniently, enough time to disconnect me while I was still on the line. I wasn't done. I was gonna ask why his name is mispelled on his headstone, just to hear his answer. It's a wonder that "Elvis" didn't start stutter-singing like Porky Pig..."I'm all shook up!" <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Anywho, I just wanted to share that little bit of info. As most of us have learned so far, we must come to our own conclusions AND convictions....Respectfully, of course <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
I've highlighted in red some interesting facts, and the similarities between Elvis & Michael <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Twin brother Jesse Garon Presley died at birth (Elvis was delivered, approximately 35 minutes later).

Was originally considered for the Kris Kristofferson role in A Star Is Born (1976), but Elvis turned it down because manager Tom Parker refused him permission to act in a movie where he wouldn't have top billing. Also, he didn't like the fact that the producer, Jon Peters, was completely unknown.

Has sold over 1,300,000,000 albums worldwide; more than any other musical artist/group in the world, including The Beatles.
When The Beatles came to America in 1965 there was only one person they wanted to meet - Elvis, and on Friday, August 27th, 1965 they got their wish and according to John Lennon spent an entirely enjoyable evening at the Presley home in Bel Aire, California, talking, singing and laughing with each other.
Bought Graceland mansion on 19 March 1957 from Mrs. Ruth Brown Moore for $102,500. The mansion, built of tan Tennessee limestone, consists of 23 rooms and 13.7 surrounding acres. The Music Gates were installed in April of 1957. The name "Graceland" came with the mansion, from the days when it was once a church.
His television debut was on the regionally telecast Louisiana Hayride (1955) (TV), 5 March 1955 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
In September 1955, "Country Song Roundup" magazine was the first to feature an article on Elvis, calling him a "folk music fireball".
In April of 1955 Elvis auditioned for a spot on Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scouts" (1948) and was turned down.
Elvis' body was placed in a family crypt in Memphis on Thursday, August 18, 1977. On Monday, August 29, 1977, however, an attempt was made to steal the body but the plan failed and three men were charged with trespassing and released on bond. Because of this incident, Vernon Presley, received approval from the Memphis Adjustment Board to allow re-interment of the bodies of Elvis and his mother Gladys Presley to the Meditation Garden behind Graceland, which took place on Sunday, October 2, 1977.
The book he was reading at the time of his death was "The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus" by Frank O. Adams, (Psychical Aid Foundation, USA, 1972).
From the time they met up until his death, Elvis always sent a roomful of flowers to Ann-Margret whenever she opened up a show in Las Vegas.
Was one of the performers featured on a set of stamps of rock and blues legends issued by the U.S. Postal Service in June 1993.
His mother, Gladys bought him his first guitar at age 12, in 1947.
1953 graduate of Humes High School, Memphis, TN.
Was one of the first people in the U.S. to own a "Betamax" system VCR
Honorary Member of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
After seeing him in concert, Liberace suggested adding flashy costumes into his act. Elvis took his advice, and became famous for his gold lame jackets and jeweled white jumpsuits. He later reserved a seat for Liberace at many of his concerts.
One of only a handful of artists inducted into both The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and The Country Music Hall of Fame. Others include Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
Died with about $5 million in his bank account.
Elvis did not like confrontation. He wanted to fire his manager, Tom Parker, many times. He would tell his friends "Tell Parker he's fired." His friends would go tell him, then Parker would say "Tell Elvis to tell me personally". Elvis never would.
"Heartbreak Hotel", which spent 17 weeks at #1 on Billboard's country chart (and 10 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100) was the #1 country song of 1956.
Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1998.
His 1977 country hit, "Way Down," was the #1 song on Billboard magazine's country singles chart the week of Elvis' death. Nine other songs would go to #1 on Billboard's country charts between 1956 and 1981: "I Forgot to Remember to Forget," "Heartbreak Hotel," "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You," and the two-sided #1 hit "Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel" (all 1956); "All Shook Up," "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" and "Jailhouse Rock" (all 1957); "Moody Blue" (1977); and "Guitar Man" (1981, a remixed version released more than three years after his death). Most of his 1950s #1 country hits were also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well.
In Sam Lovullo's book "Life in the Kornfield" (which recalled his years as producer of the country music TV series "Hee Haw" (1969)), he remarked that Elvis was a big fan of the show and had always wanted to perform on it. However, according to Lovullo, Elvis remarked they'd have to tape his spots in the middle of the night, knowing that if manager Tom Parker found out, he'd never clear his appearance. Several months after Elvis' death, his father, Vernon Presley, appeared on "Hee Haw" and spoke about how the world would always love him and remember his music.

Was extremely proud of his Cherokee roots. Wanted to be more open about it but was advised against it, according to some sources by Tom Parker, since this was around the time that there were still racial tensions in the US.

An idol to the members of Led Zeppelin, Elvis wanted to meet "who was outselling him" at concerts (Zeppelin was in the midst of a record-breaking tour that year). A meeting was arranged with two of the four band members (Plant and Jones). Plant was so awestruck at meeting his idol in person that he could barely speak to him. Jones, nearly as awestruck as Plant, made small talk with the "King," and mentioned what a beautiful watch Elvis wore. Elvis, always the generous one, instantly traded his $5,000 gold and diamond watch for Jones' $10 Mickey Mouse watch. This broke the ice with all of them, and they became fast friends.

"Elvis Presley will not be released in a manner different from any other inductee serving overseas," the Army's adjutant general wrote to citizens who complained following reports that the rock 'n' roll icon would get an early "good behavior" discharge. When he entered the Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on Monday, March 24, 1958, there was a public outcry from his fans, and protests flowed to Washington, including a hand-written plea released by the National Archives and Records Administration. "Dear Mamie," one correspondent wrote to then-first lady Mamie Eisenhower. "Will you please, please be so sweet and kind as to ask Ike [President, Dwight D. Eisenhower] to please bring Elvis Presley back to us from the Army? We need him in our entertainment world to make us all laugh." A 1959 Army memo set out the Presley problem: "When Private First Class Presley was first inducted, there was considerable adverse public reaction . . . alleging that he would receive preferential treatment in the Army. This impression has been largely replaced by a public impression of a good soldier serving his military obligation . . . Many teenagers who look up to and emulate Private First Class Presley will . . . follow his example in the performance of their military service".
On Monday, December 21, 1970, he paid a visit to President Richard Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C.

“If you loved Elvis last week, you will love him this week.
He wishes to come back and discuss vibration as he sees it from the other side.
He wants to bring Julius Caesar with him as Caesar took him to the center of the cosmos and showed him what Prime Creator sees as He views creation from the center of the cosmos.
If you’ve read Conversations With Caesar <!-- m -->http://www.conversationswithcaesar.com/<!-- m --> , you will know that I was Julia in that lifetime and Caesar was my father.
This will be a fun show.
Join us.”

Last week's show wasn't quite what I had hoped for but it did have some interesting moments. I like what "Elvis" said about the music industry, and I expanded on it in post #16. In this recent email about the upcoming show,two things caught my eye. First that "Elvis" wants to talk about vibration. We know Michael's message is L.O.V.E. which may stand for Law Of Vibrational Energy. It is a fact that everything, including thoughts, is made of energy. Love is the highest vibrational energy of all. Energy can NOT be destroyed, it can only change form. So I'm curious what "Elvis" will say about this.
Second, the email says that "Elvis" wants to bring Julius Caesar with him as Caesar took him to the center of the cosmos and showed him what Prime Creator sees as He views creation from the center of the cosmos.
I really don't know much about Julius Caesar. When I heard the name though, it reminded me of this video "Remember Remember the 13th of July" where the V character mentions Julius Caesar at 2:37 (at 2:32 he mentions the birth of the sun god RA, for those who have noticed the Egyptian connections)

Anyway, I don't watch much television, so I will make the time to listen to this program and hear what is said. We just never know where a "clue" may come from so I keep my mind open to investigate all avenues.
If this works like last week, you will click this link <!-- m -->http://www.bbsradio.com/bbc/the_messenger.php<!-- m --> and then on that page you click the BBS Station 1 button on the top left to go to the program.
I hope some of you will take the time to listen again this week, just in case there is something interesting to discuss. If not, I will again post the link to the archived program once I receive it via email.
Much Love & Light,
Carol aka TouchedByAnAngel
