We're thinking of Michael Cremo this week. He passed away a few days ago, and he was a regular on the podcast. For a while there, we had him every, I want to say, year to 16 months in the beginning of the podcast, when we first launched it.
And if you don't know who Michael Cremo is, he wrote a very important book called Forbidden Archaeology, in which him and his co-writer Thompson scanned the world for anomalies of human existence and when I say human, I mean homo sapiens sapiens, like we are. And his motivation was that he had studied Hindu philosophy and was part of an ashram, and a highly educated individual began researching the topic because he was fascinated in the ancient Vedas, the ancient Hindu scripts. That included the yugas, which I'm very, very fascinated in. And so this book he wrote, Forbidden Archaeology, is huge. It's a thousand pages. It's like a dictionary of unusual discoveries. And what he chronicles in this book is everything, some of the most amazing artifacts you would ever imagine. Metal candlestick holders found in coal mines, thousands of feet underground. Skeletons, modern skeletons found deep within mines, cave systems. And what he was trying to tell us is that our history as it comes to us by our current scientists is deeply flawed.
And he inspired people like Robert Schock, Graham Hancock, Robert Temple, and many, many other people to stretch their imaginations. And he was referenced continually for this amazing book. Now, it's not necessarily a book on simple history. It's a very detailed almanac of anomalies down to the ages. And I used to be flabbergasted when he would tell me that he has a new entry into his book. Because I thought, I mean, I was surprised when he said that modern humans were a million plus years old. Well, he has examples of a hundred million years of modern humans. And this is where the yuga cycles really come into play, because those cycles show that there are periods of time when mankind rises to a very high level of evolution, to the point where mere thoughts manifest. And you live hundreds, if not thousands of years, because you are of a certain density. And then it moves on to another phase where you're less evolved, and so on and so on, until you get to the Kali Yuga period, which is what we're at right now, which is the darkest, the heaviest, and the most problematic. And I don't have to give you examples of why that is. I mean, just look at the United States right now. We have a divided political system. We have a lot of economic problems. We have a war with Iran. Things that we've tried to stay clear of, and we've tried to make sure our citizens are well taken care of, and not everybody's doing super well. But we at least have services that support wellness and prosperity. And comfort, to a degree. So his book is amazing. If you don't have a copy, it's been around so long. Forbidden Archaeology, you can get a used copy for probably 10 bucks. I think a new copy is about 50, if not more.
But it's important. It's an important book. I've had it in my library forever.
As long as I've been interested in the topic of ancient civilizations. And it's a must-have. And I haven't got through all of the different aspects of the book, but there's enough in there to make you scratch your head and go, really?
Wow. So Michael, if you're listening, thank you for your contributions. And what you have brought to the table is just amazing.
And best wishes on the other side.
I know it's going to be amazing. Wonderful. So thank you.
My guest today is talking about water. Her name is Veda Austin. And she was part of the CPAC conference a few weeks ago. But she was ill just before our interview, so we had to reschedule it.
And this is a topic that's quite in depth and fascinating. It's on water.
And she's kind of following in the footsteps of Masaru Imoto, who was a Japanese scientist who studied water and was impressing upon water different thoughts and intentions. And Imoto was able to show that emotions—hate, passion, excitement, whatever—caused a frequency. And he recorded the frequencies in these Petri dishes, where he was able to freeze the water and show different patterns.
He also showed that music had a huge effect on human physiology. And if you play classical music, it was very good for you and beneficial. If you played heavy, heavy rock or heavy music, it created another pattern. And his belief was that that was affecting the human condition, mind, body, and spirit. My guest today, Veda Austin, has written a book called The Living Language of Water. And it's a beautiful book. And by the way, you can't find it on Amazon, and you only can find it on her website. We'll give you the details in a little bit. But it's an important book on a lot of different levels. And it's a book that artificial intelligence is going to support on a lot of different levels. And we'll learn about that later today. So today's program is The Living Language of Water, and my guest is research investigator coming to us from New Zealand, Veda Austin.
