Afterword 625
A: Near tracks well worn.
Q: [...] Do you mean Rhineland as in Germany proper?
A: We do not mean Rhinelander, Wisconsin... Or do we?!? Who is to tell?
Q: Who?
A: The searcher, the sepulcher, the one who carries the staff in constant search
for greener pastures.
Q: Oh my! You are being very obscure tonight! [...] any additional clues for me
or Ark?
A: Last clue for tonight: Look for the vibratory frequency light. Good Night.
I suddenly realized that the funny remark about “Rhinelander, Wisconsin”
pointed directly at France - the land of a Thousand Cheeses - because, to the
American mind, Wisconsin is “the land of Cheese”. I later learned that the
Garonne River was referred to as “The Rhine of France”. And then, of course,
there are “rhinds” on cheeses. But the icing on the cake was, of course, “look for
the vibratory frequency of light”, and the Violle: the first unit of light intensity that
did not depend on the properties of a particular lamp.
As I began to dig into the background of Jules Violle, I discovered another
significant clue: he was closely associated with Camille Flammarion, French
astronomer and popular author. Flammarion was the founder of the French
Astronomy Society, and he served for many years at the Paris Observatory and the
Bureau of Longitudes. Flammarion set up a private observatory at Juvisy (near
Paris) in 1883 and his studies were particularly focused on double and multiple
stars - a particular focus of the Cassiopaean Transmissions - and of the moon and
Mars. It is easy to see that Violle and Flammarion had a lot in common,
particularly their interest in stars. Double and multiple Stars gives Fulcanelli’s
dedication “To The Brothers of Heliopolis” an all new level of meaning!
When examining the life and associations of Camille Flammarion, additional
clues began to finally fit together: he was an associate of, and greatly influenced
by, Allan Kardec, the French Pedagogue, medical student, linguist and researcher
of “spirit communications”.
In the spring of 1858, Kardec founded the Societe Parisienne des Etudes
Spirites. In the late 1850s and early 1860s, small Spiritist groups began to
proliferate throughout France, especially in Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux.
Camille Flammarion remarked: “I have no hesitation in saying that he who
states that spiritist phenomena are contrary to science does not know what he is
talking about. Indeed, there is nothing super-natural in nature. There is only the
unknown: but what was unknown yesterday becomes the truth of tomorrow”.
Victor Hugo, another advocate of scientific spiritualism said: “Turning a blind
eye to the spiritist phenomena is turning a blind eye to the truth”.
The Societe Parisienne was similar to the Society for Psychical Research in
London, a body devoted to unbiased inquiry. Kardec’s efforts were largely focused
on promoting the impartial and rational study of spiritual matters. The Spiritist
views of Kardec were scientific, not mystical; and he promoted objective discovery
over intuitive insight, just as the Cassiopaean Transmissions and our own work
does.
