I am fascinated with gold. It seems to hold and generate so much power and energy. I once heard that its frequency is the highest available to humanity, is this true? I am interested in its spiritual healing properties and any other information you would be willing to share.

The element Gold (represented as AU in the periodic table) is present upon or within all of the planets within the Milky Way solar system. It is expressed differently and in varying quantities depending upon its location. Gold has a very interesting vibration and it is valuable for a variety of reasons. By valuable, I mean to say that it has many uses. Its relative worth as measured in terms of accumulated wealth will be addressed later on. History has recorded and shopued the origins of many things and many moments. Humanity's first encounter with iron, for instance, can be traced back in time with relative accuracy. Some subjects offer hard evidence while others are subjects for late evening debates. The origin of the importance of gold offers little evidence and much conjecture; its mystery is yet to be solved. There is neither hard nor soft archeological evidence that pinpoints its origin, discovery, perceived value, or even man's first encounter with it. It seems that gold has always existed and that it has always been of value to you, but why?

Even before recorded history, gold had a perceived value. Before humanity had a written or spoken language, gold already had value. Gold has played an integral part in your cosmology; it was already of importance when the human race began. Its value is even present in your cellular memory because those who came upon you long ago planted the seed there so you would not forget. Gold was present upon the earth before humanity presented itself here. Gold has always been here, but you have not. Long ago, before humanity was as conscious as it is today, it was taught to value gold. Above all else the importance of gold has been instilled in you, but by whom?

There are many different kinds of gold and some are considered more precious than others. There is native gold and extra-terrestrial gold, meaning that it is non-native, having been brought here at an earlier time in your history. Most celestial bodies also have native and non-native gold. Gold can be expressed as a gas or as a solid. It is one of the more dense substances on earth compared with other common materials and metals. The measure of density depends upon both atomic mass and crystal structure. Gold weighs almost twenty times as much as the same volume of water and even steel is only half as dense as gold.

Gold is corrosion resistant; it does not tarnish and can only be dissolved by cyanide. If gold does not physically corrode, the accompanying logic would reason that it does not corrode the spirit either. This principle was behind the use of gold in certain embalming practices. Gold was thought to protect the spirit and the soul on its long journey back home. Strong evidence suggests to some and confirms to others that gold can rejuvenate the body and the soul. New formulas and ancient elixirs alike are once again being peddled in secret, elite and everyday places. A colloid is a suspension of tiny particles that have been dispersed into another substance. Colloidal gold (and silver) have historically been credited with rejuvenation and an increase in longevity. The bioavailability of gold in the diet based upon the plentitude of native gold in the world's water supply contributed to the legendary longevity of those who came before you. Can you see what would drive some to extreme measures in order to hoard that which seems scarce?

Gold is one of the most malleable elements on earth; this measure is expressed as the extent to which a material can undergo deformation and compression before failure. Gold can be hammered into a translucent wafer covering more than one hundred square feet, five millionths of an inch thick. At this level of translucency it would take more than one thousand sheets to equal the thickness of a newsprint piece of paper! Gold is also ductile, a measure of extension under tension and before failure. One ounce of gold can be made into a fifty-mile (80 kilometer) thread of gold wire.

The color of a metal is based upon the transition of electrons between energy bands. In order for gold to achieve its most typical bright yellow color certain conditions must be met, namely the presence of an intense absorption of light capable of stimulating a transition into an unoccupied position on a band of conductive light. Although this idea may seem complex, it is worth noting that the process is somewhat similar to the spiritual journey made by those who seek enlightenment. They must also find an unoccupied place within which they can experience a new octave or dimension. This may be an appropriate time to mention that the Latin name for Gold is Aurum, from which the AU of the periodic table takes its initials. Aurum is also associated with the aura, the auric field, and the auricular field, or that which responds to sacred sound.

Elements such as metals are also expressions of crystalline structures, in other words, their composition, vibration and energy can also be expressed as geometry, because the universe is both encoded and decoded by mathematics. The crystalline structure of gold is expressed in a geometric arrangement called a Crystal Lattice or Face Centered Cube (FCC). In this geometry, atoms are arranged at the corners and center of each cube face. Each corner atom contributes one-eighth of its volume to the cell (cube) interior, and each face atom contributes one-half of its volume to the cell (cube) interior. The relationship between the atoms in the corners and the atoms on the sides contribute to the geometric density of the cube, which relates to the density within the element called Gold and its intrinsic relationship to the density of the earth. If the elemental density of gold can be altered or lightened, then the density of those who relate to it can as well, do you see?

Native gold naturally contains between eight and ten percent silver, but it can often contain much more. As the amount of silver increases, the color becomes whiter and its specific gravity becomes lower. When gold is alloyed with copper it has a red or pinkish tinge. Alloys make gold harder because it is often too soft for ordinary use. Native gold is pure or unaltered gold. It occurs naturally all over the world, but in small quantities, which makes it precious. Even so, those who are wise in the ways of alchemy need only the 'salt of gold', with which they can combine other compounds in order to obtain a very specific pigment of purple. What you call purple today was once more like crimson, more like the color of your blood. Purple is a mixture of red and blue; when red predominates it is called violet and when blue predominates it is called purple. Originally, these were suggestive of the relationship between veins and arteries. My body also contains veins and arteries and from these what you cal oil flows. Has this not also been called gold?

Most of those who experimented with gold and alchemy had both positive and negative results; there have been relatively few true alchemists. Gold is a natural accelerator and can therefore accelerate wonderful experiences; as such it is an excellent tool of manifestation. If you are aligned with your thoughts, dreams and experiences gold has the ability to accelerate and increase them. The majority of humanity, however, is not yet attuned to its own consciousness, so it is driven by its unconsciousness, which is also subject to manifesting its fears and its nightmares. If, for instance, you are worried and concerned about your ability to repay your debts it is quite possible that you could incur more debt, do you see? During the Dark Ages alchemy was practiced quietly and secretly for this very reason. Properly used, gold can repair and rejuvenate bone structure and growth. Gold can help improve eyesight and even stabilize or lower blood pressure. Is it a miracle? No, it is nature being natural, but in order for it to be of significant benefit to you, humanity must also return to a more natural rather than an artificial state of being. Alchemy is the process of transforming the less pure into the most pure, but paradoxically, you must offer yourself in your purest state in order to fully experience the transformation.

Ancient Babylon (modern Iraq) was once one of the richest empires in the world. The rich Euphrates River revealed many secrets to discerning and divining entities, some of which included vast reserves of native gold. On the west bank of the Euphrates, about fifty miles south of Baghdad, a series of artificial mounds stand as guardians to a once famous city. Underneath layers of history, great wealth and power once stood. These crumbled ruins still protect many secrets and those in positions capable of seizing power seek what history has not yet revealed. Rome once conquered Babylon, because Babylon's deposed king no longer reigned there. Rome was once referred to as "mystical Babylon, the great city that reigned over the kings of the earth"; perhaps the new Rome and the New Iraq still have old issues to resolve.

Gold has not always been a measure or exchange of money, but it has always held value. Gold was used extensively in the grandness of ancient Egypt, but their unit of exchange was not gold, it was barley. Gold was far too precious to be wasted on exchanges and barters that could easily be accommodated by other means. The first coins were minted in a land called Lydia, where western Turkey stands today. Gold has been found all over the world, but native gold is found predominantly in the Middle East and in Africa. Native gold has uses that non-native gold does not. Those who today seek it, mine it and steal it have an exceptional agenda to fulfill. When Julius Caesar invaded Gaul (France) he seized enough gold to repay all of the debt that Rome had accumulated. The United States is also significantly in debt due to its war campaigns, must history repeat itself? Iraq is rich in oil and gold reserves and there are some interesting properties that these two share. When native gold and certain specific types of oil are combined alchemy becomes possible. There is a certain process that turns gold into an oily substance and there is an equally interesting process that turns an oily substance into gold. When water, like that from the Dead Sea is added, combined or present, other possibilities begin to emerge. As you can see, there may be more value in this subject than has commonly been considered.

Humanity has always been fascinated with gold. In past lives and alternate realities you have spent gold, hoarded gold, purchased with gold, buried gold, unburied gold, longed for gold, killed for gold, eaten gold and dreamt of attaining more gold. Gold is a physical expression of Source, because Source gives and supports life. The Sun is also a physical expression of Source. It is the source and support of all life in this solar system. Gold holds and represents the balance between light and dark, day and night, spiritual awareness and blindness. Gold represents the Sun and the Sun represents Gold, both represent light and yet both are quite dense. Every astrological sign has a corresponding representation in mineral form. Likewise, every planet and celestial body has its own representative element. Elements are teachers and healers; they permeate every level of existence. Gold is found in soil, in water, in air and in certain crystalline cellular structures. It is of value to the earth, in the earth and on the earth.

The Earth's vibrational field is supported by frequencies of light expressed as golden rays or golden threads. Gold supports life on earth and this makes it precious. It is precious because of what it is, not because a relative value has been assigned to it. Monetary systems such as your dollar have been tied to gold because it is precious, not the other way around. Gold will continue to be of value whether or not dollars float or sink with it. Gold has little interest in the monetary systems that are associated with it; it does not care if they are valued, revalued or devalued. The value of gold is within its properties and these are alchemical or transformational in nature. Are you certain who is wealthy and who is poor? That which is hoarded cannot multiply, because it is not exposed to light. Seeds that are kept in the dark do not grow, and those who hoard gold in private reserves, collections and museums will build a mausoleum about themselves; they will entomb themselves in their own museum.

The science of Alchemy has fallen out of favor in recent times because it cannot be figured out or manipulated. You cannot manipulate alchemy any more than you can manipulate the stars in the sky. The meaning of the philosopher's stone has not been decoded, but it will be. Soon there will be a renewed interest in alchemy. It will be called modern alchemy or Alchemia Moderna, because its resurgence will first be expressed in the South American continent and then in certain European circles. The technologically forward United States will not be first in this arena because it still believes that the value of gold rests in the accumulation of wealth. Other countries have seen their wealth dwindle, they have experienced great losses, especially in recent years after having placed their faith in the American dollar. Scholars are studying ancient manuscripts. They are experimenting with small, but very pure amounts of gold. The results of these experiments will not be published, but some have had interesting and surprising conclusions. The results of these experiments can benefit humanity because they relate to how the sun's energy is received by the earth. Pure sources of native gold are currently in protected environments. They will be discovered, but not yet. Their density matrix is being accelerated by the Sun driven by a galactic pull from the center of the universe. Gold is a wonderful conductor of electric current and so are human bodies. Gold conducts and transfers particles of light, might it not also transfer particles of enlightenment?

Can you describe for us what state gold must be in for it to be of most use to our bodies?

Yes, it is most useful to the body when introduced as fine grains. A grain of pure gold would be enough to bring wellness to your body, if its transformational potency were truly understood, it could extend the life span of your body by ten years.

Are the properties associated with the earth element Gold and the earth metal Gold the same as those associated with the golden light of Christ consciousness?

It is a symbolic representation of it. The purest quality of light within the purest form of gold can be expressed as Christ consciousness, and correct exposure to pure gold can bring about a euphoric state that approximates enlightenment, but if one is exposed to significant light who is not ready for such light it can bring about madness as easily as enlightenment. This is not as uncommon as you may think.

If as you say, the special alchemical properties of gold were hidden during the Dark Ages so that darkness would not be perpetuated or accelerated, wouldn't the same be important today? If there is a relationship between oil, gold and sea salt, wouldn't our government be interested in pursuing it? And if they approach this from a position of greed, would it not accelerate and expand greed upon the earth?

Yes, it would. It may surprise you to know, however, that your government's interests lie elsewhere. They have already sold or traded a fair amount of their gold reserves to off-planet beings. Your greenbacks are not as well backed, as you believe. Are you certain what sits in the vaults behind the impenetrable walls of fort Knox?

What did we receive in exchange for our gold, was it worth it?

Your government seems to think so. It was exchanged for technological knowledge in areas that those in positions of power seek advancement in.

What interest or use do off-planet beings have with our gold?

Every celestial body has a particular element, mineral and metal associated with it and the universe remains in a state of perpetual balance by means of these unique properties. Interested parties seek to combine various different elements in order to form new ones. They postulate that if known elements were combined into unknown combinations the universe may express itself differently than it does now. Believe it or not, there are those who have already experienced the further reaches of the universe. They are hungry for new experiences. Gold is one of the more stable elements in the universe, and native earth gold is among the most stable of all. Even so, when its properties are misunderstood disaster can result, and such was the case in the tragic explosion of the recent space shuttle. Unstable and less understood elements were combined with gold, but the results were disastrous and unfortunate.

Is that why this experiment was conducted in space, because it was too dangerous to attempt on earth?

Yes, that is somewhat accurate. The purpose of the experiment was to create a space shield capable of deflecting and invalidating nuclear weapons. If these were made obsolete via this device the balance of power upon the earth would be assured.

How would this device be capable of invalidating all nuclear weapons?

By changing the polarity within them. The theory was simple but it did not work. For instance, if you insert new batteries into a device that cannot operate within them, but you insert them incorrectly by reversing their polarity, the device will not operate at all. If the experiment had been successful it would have reversed the polarity on the guidance system of all known weaponry rendering them useless, but the experiment was an abject failure.

Did other governments know that our government would be conducting this experiment?

Some of them did, yes. North Korea, for instance waited until after the failure to step up its efforts in their own nuclear programs. Iran did the same. China has launched its own space program now as well.

It seems like everyone is cutting their own deal, but are they also cutting their own throat?

That remains to be seen. Many other countries no longer wish to depend upon the scraps that are tossed out to them along with the evening meal, so they are making contingency plans. They are establishing contacts and contracts of their own, some of them are honorable and some are not. Until recently, the United States acted as an agent or go-between for certain off-planet entities, but promises have gone unkept and relationships have since soured. Those in positions of ownership and leadership thought to outsmart those whose smaller stature made them appear weaker, but that was not the case. They have gone against the ways and the wishes of those who came before them. Their signatures have meant little and their words and handshakes even less.

Does that mean that contact with off-planet beings is a certainty that will be announced soon?

It means that a free forum or free-for-all state currently exists. Contact is being initiated and engaged at many different levels and in both ordinary and extraordinary ways. You will soon witness the confirmation that you have been waiting for, but it will not come from the admission of your own government, it will begin elsewhere first.

I get the impression that if someone really knew what they were doing they could create or recreate a precise model of the universe using specific quantities of the different elements present on or in the various celestial bodies. If this were possible, would this be important?

It would be accurate to say that the possibility exists that a solar system could be created or recreated. The possibility also exists that a big bang could be created. That which creates can destroy and that which destroys can also create. If someone really knew what they were doing they would also know what not to do.

Given your answer, would you say that the Big Bang was a successful or non-successful experiment?

Perhaps it depends upon whose interpretation of the Big Bang you find most interesting.

What if any relationship is there between gold and that known as electrum?

Electrum is an aspect of gold. It is a pale-colored alloy combining elements of both gold and silver. Electrum is the quality within gold that allows electricity to be conducted through gold. Electrum contributes to gold's density, but also to its ability to conduct or transmit light. Electrum is an important aspect of the alchemical process of transformation.

At what point might pure alchemical gold become available to humanity?

At the exact point when humanity understands itself as alchemical gold. At the point that it sees itself as transformation it will transform itself. When you make peace with your imperfections you will become perfect. As you seek perfect gold, you will seek perfect being. As you seek the properties of alchemy, you will make the alchemical translations within yourself. You will become conductors of true light. The energy that you receive from the sun will magnetically attract to you the electrical qualities of the purity of the alchemical process. When the time is right you will understand what to do with all of the information you will have accumulated.

Is there still a distortion within our genetic structure based upon a time when humanity is said to have mined gold for off-planet beings that have been likened to our gods? Do we still need to transcend this distortion in order to relate to gold differently than we do now?

Yes, the distortion still exists, but as you say it is a distortion not a block. Human DNA is both simple and complex depending upon which level or dimension one approaches from. Some strands of DNA are as simple as on and off switches. Once the original codes of light are reset you will be able to see in the dark as easily as you can see in the light. The distortion exists because humanity was told that it could not think for itself and humanity believed what it was told. Humanity was told that it needed a parent and a god and it believed what it was told. When humanity believed that it was flawed instead of brilliant its potential became flawed as well.

Is it true that long ago humans helped mine gold for off-planet beings?

Yes, quite true. Interestingly, such intense contact with native gold accelerated your evolution by leaps and bounds. Handling gold, mining gold, breathing gold, ingesting gold . . . all of these contributed to your acceleration and to a desire to experience advanced states of consciousness, but without positive role models to set fine examples, humanity became enthralled with what the visitors found most interesting, namely gold, power and the acquisition of more gold and more power. This is the distortion that must still be healed. That which created the distortion (gold) and those who contributed to the distortion (certain extra-terrestrial beings) are both instrumental in the healing process.

Is there a difference between alchemical gold and unrefined or native gold? Which is the one that was accelerating our consciousness?

Ancient, or native gold was very similar to alchemical gold because it existed in a pure or unaltered state. Simply being in its presence caused it to conduct energy and promote evolution of consciousness. Even the small amounts that brushed onto your fingertips caused fingernails to grow long and strong. This is one of the ways in which the acceleration that was taking place was discovered. Fingernails were growing longer from night to day and day to night, but the growth was more pronounced and significant on those who mined or handled gold more frequently. Those who handled gold most often also had the healthiest and longest hair. They were tired less often and required less rest. They were stronger and more attractive. They were evolving very, very quickly. All of these qualities are still considered very important to humanity although it cannot remember why. Is it not an interesting fact that long nails of all things are considered attractive?

Other than physical characteristics, were there other qualities such as psychological, spiritual or emotional that separated these beings from others?

Those who handled gold most often began to see themselves as the offspring of those who guided their efforts. Because their development came so quickly they found no reason to believe that these beings were not their parents. They wanted and needed to believe this and their young minds were eager to make the connection.

Did the presence of native or alchemical gold have anything to do with genetic mutations, manipulations or that which determined the inception of different races upon the earth?

No, not necessarily. Different races are the result of the expression of different strands of DNA. They are the combinations and contributions of a variety of beings from many different worlds.

Is there a relationship between alchemical gold and the Holy Grail?

Yes, the Holy Grail is made of pure alchemical gold. Everything that is placed within this vessel becomes perfection itself. If it is blood, it becomes perfect blood. If it is water, it becomes perfect water. All that is offered to the Grail becomes perfection itself or the vibration of perfection.

What would it be like to hold the Holy Grail?

There is no need to do so. You are Holy, and you are the Grail. Everything that you place within yourselves becomes the realization of perfection. You need only recognize this in order to experience it.

Why is the pursuit of longevity such a definitive goal for so many of us? If our souls continue, and our spirits go on life after life after life, why stretch one life any further than another?

That is an excellent question. Longevity is not simply a measure of more versus fewer years in the same body; it is a measure of experience. Longevity is not about tacking on a few extra years onto the end of your life, it is about expanding into the fullness of your being. It is about becoming more soul-full within and without. Longevity is about purpose and wholeness, it is about relating to self and selflessness with the same enthusiasm. Longevity promotes a longer lifespan, but it also maintains and sustains the body in ways that allow both physical and non-physical expression. Longevity contributes to expansion and expansion contributes to consciousness. Consciousness evolves into awareness and awareness evolves into source awareness. All beings desire to be conscious within and as Source, my own sentience included.
