Several weeks ago I was spending a Saturday afternoon sharing readings with a few clients in Centennial Park downtown Nashville. The setting was the awe inspiring Parthenon.

Just sitting in the shadows of this massive replica of the original Greek Parthenon, you don’t have to be a mind reader to see why so many people of ancient times found it an ideal place of worship. After I had finished my readings for the day I decided to get out my camcorder and film a brief video tour of this tribute to ancient Athenian architecture.

As you enter the the exterior walkway you begin to feel dwarfed by the sheer size of the 17 columns that line each side of the exterior walls. The architects of the original Parthenon designed this into the structure in very subtle ways. The exterior columns are all leaning slightly inward and they all have a gentle bulge, tapering at each end. While scholars disagree as the reasons, I can assure you the result is a very humbling aesthetic point of view. These slight illusions make the building seem even taller and more powerful while making you feel more reverent of the gigantic statue of Athena housed within. Just like the original, Nashville’s replica also uses another trick to make the building seem more alive and pleasing to the eye. No horizontal element is perfectly straight. Instead, they arch up ever so slightly in the middle.

Inside you are met with the enormous 7.5 ton grand entrance doors. There are four of these doors in total, two on each end. Just like the original Parthenon, the replica was built facing east so that the morning light could flood through the grand doors and light up the inside as to show Athena Parthenos in all her glory.

Topping 41 feet tall, it is understandable why so many worshiped at the feet of this impressive golden idol. Clad in gold, it must have been a spectacular sight to ancient Athenians. Nashville’s replica of the statue of Athena is reportedly the tallest indoor statue in the western world. Now that she is finally clad in gold leaf, modern man finally has the opportunity to see her in the splendor the ancients must have enjoy in centuries past. Standing at her feet you can’t help but to feel a little of that mystery and wonder from days gone past.

Well I won’t bore you with any more of my rambling… Let’s take a brief video tour shall we? Just click play on the video below!

Today in my bulletins of my myspace profile I found an interesting link. I have always been a fan of Nikola Tesla and his work. If you are enjoying electricity right now then you are enjoying his work and may not even know it! This link was from Nikola Tesla himself. Well ok, so it is just a profile set up in his memory.

There are so many amazing stories and myths surrounding Mr. Tesla and very few sources of real accurate information. It is even doubtful that the sources of accurate information are very accurate. None the less, I think everyone should be made aware of this amazing mans contributions to our modern way of life.

Among inventing a vast array of brilliant technologies, Tesla was also a bit of an esoteric visionary. While skeptical, Tesla managed to even have his own brush with “psychic communication”. One night Tesla had a frightening dream. He envisioned that there were strange little angels all around and one of them was his mother. He could distinctly see her face and got the heavy impression that she had passed into the afterlife. Sure enough, Tesla’s mother HAD passed away. This led Tesla toward the idea that intelligence could be transmitted over the air waves. It wasn’t long after that the radio race began and the world has never been the same.

The link I received today was to an amazing PBS documentary on Nikola Tesla. This documentary covered all sorts of interesting things and photographs that are not so easy to find these days.

While I was sitting there truly enjoying the mans visionary achievements, a strange occurrence manifested itself. Hundreds of miles away from me a friend of mine who I have a very deep connection was in her shower. During this exact time she began pondering the accomplishments of Nikola Tesla and became very curious. She said that she was experiencing a deep level of thought about the man and his life. Even though this is not generally the topic of her interest, she was feeling very informed about him for some reason. Even knowing things that she had really never heard about the man before.

When we spoke shortly thereafter and she realized what had happened, she was kind of shocked. Even though our connection allows us to share things at great distances, she had never experienced this much detail before. She even asked me about certain information that had been running through her mind, and it was in line with the things I had just been watching. A case of advanced “remote viewing” or simply a coincidence?? I will let you be the judge of that…

So enjoy this documentary about one of the most amazing visionaries of days gone by who’s work can STILL be seen from space even today.
