Louisville Esoteric Society

Mark your calendars for later this month. We’ve arranged for a new LES public presentation on Thursday, February 22 at 6:30 PM:  “Finding Atlantis” presented by Lee Pennington.

FINDING ATLANTIS

For the past several decades, Lee Pennington has been researching the lost continent of Atlantis.

In the last half dozen years, he has focused his attention on looking in a different place from the Atlantic Ocean, where most think, if the legend has any validity at all, the island should be found.

In Plato’s time, however, there was no such thing as the Atlantic Ocean, so it stands to reason Plato, who in his “Dialogues” discussed Atlantis, could have been talking of someplace else when he referred to continent being located beyond the Pillars of Hercules.

Pennington thinks he knows where Atlantis is located, as well as the lost land of Lemuria. He also thinks that a large monument rises into Indonesian sky that is somehow connected to both those lost places.

His presentation perhaps will not only convince you where Atlantis is but will also point out we have history all wrong—especially that part that says there were no civilizations beyond those we already know about and certainly none that reaches back beyond the ice age.

Gunung Padang, a great man-made pyramid in excess of 20,000 years old, alone should convince us history is wrong.

LOCATION:
Commonwealth Bank & Trust, 286 N Hubbards Ln, Louisville, KY 40207.
Enter through the front door. The meeting will be held in the lower level meeting room of the bank building. Stairs and an elevator are just inside the front entrance.

We’ve arranged for a new LES public presentation on Thursday, March 9 at 6:30 PM:  “King Arthur in America” presented by Lee Pennington.

Think you know all there is to know about King Arthur?

Well did you know that there were really two King Arthurs who lived 250 years apart and that scholars have mistakenly combined them into one individual?

Did you know that King Arthur II (of the Round Table fame) came to America in 573 with his brother, Prince Madoc, and that King Arthur was killed here (in Kentucky actually)?

Did you know that King Arthur’s body was mummified and was taken back Wales and the exact place of his burial is known?

This is not fiction! The evidence is compelling.

Don’t miss Lee Pennington, researcher, film maker, and poet, presenting “King Arthur in America.”

KING ARTHUR IN AMERICA

• In 562 AD Britain was the site of a catastrophic event—most likely a comet striking the Island country. The land was devastated. The king at the time was none other than the legendary King Arthur.  King Arthur’s brother, Prince Madoc, was at the time the fleet admiral of a substantial Welsh navy. Madoc was at sea when the comet struck and was blown totally off course and was gone for 10 years.
• England was mainly uninhabitable and Arthur took his people and army into Lydaw which is now Normandy. Records say that in 572 Arthur returned to Wales, and he and Madoc gathered 700 ships at Milford Haven and sailed west to Anwan, “that which is beyond.”
• Having missed Ireland, there is only one place, sailing west, they could have gone—North America!  Other records tell of King Arthur being killed in Anwan and being brought back to Wales in a celebrated voyage described in a number of extant manuscripts
• Lee Pennington will present compelling evidence that the Welsh records are totally correct in stating that Wales’ most famous king did indeed come to America and was killed here.

Louisville Esoteric Society has lost our lease in Bakery Square due to a business expansion next door overtaking our space.  After a fruitful six years of thought-provoking presentations we’ve decided it’s time for LES to evolve. For the time being we will discontinue our regular twice-a-month public meetings, but may re-start public meetings at some point in the future. If we do, we’ll post a notice here, so you will be aware of our plans.  

The meeting for the 4th Wednesday of November (the 23rd) is cancelled:  Thanksgiving week break.

We will have an LES Business Meeting for our next session on Wednesday Nov. 9 at 6:30 PM.  Current Prepaid Members only – please make every effort to attend!

Join us Wednesday September 28, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Magicians of the Gods” presented by Jim Patterson.

Graham Hancock’s 1996 multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing, deeply controversial, wide-ranging investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for Earth’s lost civilization. Twenty years later, Hancock returns with the sequel to his seminal work, Magicians of the Gods, filled with completely new, scientific and archaeological evidence, which has only recently come to light.

The evidence revealed in his latest book continues to support the theory of an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age and was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. But there were survivors – known to later cultures by names such as ‘the Sages’, ‘the Magicians’, ‘the Shining Ones’, and ‘the Mystery Teachers of Heaven’. They travelled the world in their great ships doing all in their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations – Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific where a huge pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they went these ‘Magicians of the Gods’ brought with them the memory of a time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a heavy price.

Jim will present an overview of the book and the evidence presented within – including what Hancock feels caused the global cataclysms that destroyed those lost antediluvian civilizations. As always, we’ll have plenty of time for Q&A discussion.

Join us Wednesday September 14, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “How to Protect Your Security & Privacy on the Internet: What You’re Up Against and the Tools to Fight It” presented by Jim Patterson.

While not necessarily traditionally “Esoteric” – still critically important, and presented due to popular demand . . . .

Did you know if you use a Windows computer, every single web site you’ve ever visited since turning on that computer is recorded in multiple secret, hidden files?  And . . . they can’t be deleted even if you know how to find them?  And . . .  deleting temporary internet files and cookies does nothing to erase that history?

Did you know that when you visit a website, there can be 10, 20, 30+ companies who record the fact you visited that site as well as others so they can feed you specific targeted advertisements?  Do you want these companies tracking your every movement while surfing the web?

Are you aware there is incredible 100% FREE software available to you that will protect you and your computer from attacks, viruses, malware, and tracking while you’re surfing the web? You don’t have to spend a dime for years and years of safe and secure web browsing!

Would you want to find out the best practices for not falling victim to spam, phishing & spoofing – endangering your computer and private information?

If this interests you, bring your laptop to the next LES meeting on Sept. 14 and you’ll discover what’s really happening when you surf the web, and lots of tips and free software to download/install to stop the insanity.  We have free WIFI at our meeting room so you’ll be able to download, install and use these tools live and in real time during the meeting.

If you don’t have a laptop, you’ll see exactly how it’s done and get written instructions to take home and use at your leisure. If you can, bring your laptop and power cord and be ready for some real-time tech fun!

All sincere seekers are welcome.  $10 for attendees who are not pre-paid members;  No charge for LES pre-paid Members.

Join us Wednesday August 24, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Encounters of a Seeker: the Four Body System, Part II” presented by Harold Cottrell.

Several questions have arisen from Part I.

Why can’t we see the other three bodies?  Are these bodies like a body of water or like the human body?  Do the bodies get fed?  Do the bodies sleep?  If the bodies are asleep and awaken, then what is the light they awaken to—surely it is different than the sun.  If any of the bodies can see, then where is the light that illuminates that which is being observed?  Do all the bodies die like the physical body?

These questions and more will be explored as we continue to understand the ancient teachings of the Four Body System that predates the Babylonians from 4500 years ago.  Once again, we will draw upon Quantum Physics within a six-dimensional universe in our adventure into the possibilities.

Harold Cottrell has a Masters in Mathematics, a former professional Ballroom Dancer, farmer, naturalist,  Seeker of Truth and author of the book, “Just One Generation: Repairing the Past, Learning from the Future”.

Harold is from Hart County Kentucky and has lived in Lexington for 35 years.  Currently Harold lives in Louisville.

All sincere seekers are welcome.  $10 for pay-as-you-go attendees; No charge for LES pre-pay Members.
