Tutankhamon's Wadjetism ~ Copyright 2014 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.3300 years ago in the Capital City of Kemti (Ancient Egypt) the Pharaoh Tut-ankh-amon decided between 2 opposing religions - the Monotheism of Aton that later became Judaism and the traditional Polytheistic Spirit worship of his ancestors. He chose to remove the Atonist element because the Monotheists were destroying all references to the traditional religion, in doing so Tutankhamon became the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of Ra, and the Savior of the World. The traditional religion is preserved as Christianity (the Wadjet Eye of Sacrifice became the Body of Christ in the ceremonies of the Eucharist/ Communion and the Opening of the Mouth ceremony of Kemti) and in Islam (the way Muslims pray is the same gesture as when one surrenders unto Pharaoh, and the colors of Osiris - green and black - with attributes of Osiris as Judge of the Dead and Sovereign of the Living). Tutankhamon himself was buried with anointing oils and his mummy was covered in it, proving he was the Anointed One. Tutankhamon's Wadjetism is the Orthodox Religion of the last 3300 years, and the next 1000+ years. Copyright (c) 2014 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.

Worshiping AmonRa, the Eye of God:From the Founder of the Modern Temple of AmonRa comes this Egyptian Mythology prayer book, complete with a 3-part training course in modern Psychic Warfare. AmonRa is the Eye of God, a solar aspect of the Divine. He hears the prayers of the people, as he did for Pharaoh Ahmose-I whom expelled the Hyksos from Lower Egypt and founded the legendary 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Psychic Warfare, also called Magical Warfare, is a modern form of mental weaponry utilizing psychic abilities for a military edge. It draws its origins from Ancient times. This chapter will introduce the novice to simple actions that can be effective in varied situations. Excerpt:Beginning Rituals:1. Project thoughts (Telepathy)2. Cast Dice (Telekinesis or Chronokinesis)3. Influence air or wind (Elemental)4. Invisibility (Telepathy, Hypnosis)5. Offering ritual and Altar (Summoning)Creating Rain is one of the most wanted devices known to people since antiquity. Prayers about water, moisture, precipitation, snow, ice, or rain usually occur while a drought is present. With Climate Change (the excuse for Psychic amplification), droughts are more common. Concentration and Meditation are needed for most "spell magic." To concentrate on an object like clouds, focus on the objective while blocking out all other distractions, and hold the thought in your mind. Then repeat the intention for several minutes. Then stop concentration, relax a minute, and repeat for a few minutes. This builds brain muscle as an exercise. Mathematics strengthens part of the brain and this exercises another area. Overdoing this will result in a headache. To meditate, first relax all your muscles by focusing on one at a time and relax it. Start with your feet and relax them, then move up to your legs, abdomen, arms, shoulders, neck, head, and eyes. Then think of one object only for a few minutes. Ignore all noises, people, animals, birds, traffic, with serenity. Do this if you feel the need to calm the body during a period of distraction. Then return to your situation; the effect will appear as a mental vacation. Become "one with Nature" by observing life as an outsider. Know that all beings are of the same spirit matter, that each insect, bird, rodent, cat, dog, tree, flower, bacteria, and whale have the same type of soul as human people, and each has feelings, thoughts, and intellect. You can learn this by studying philosophy (Buddhism for example). By becoming one with Nature, you can then influence or control it. Magic "spells" are a written form of psychic ability. You imprint energy into writing while willing an event. This energy is released when activated, or otherwise read. Spells are written differently than normal texts, to distinguish it from day to day correspondence, though this matters little. You can cause an event with normal writing, and add up the score when watching the daily News on television. To clear the sky: visualize a clear, blue sky for 10 minutes, then relax and repeat. Do this during a cloudy day or storm for effect. Repeat in the 4 directions (N, E, S, & W). Using Telepathy to project thoughts outward, you can cause someone to hear your idea and react to it. Meditate on one word "apple", visualize an "apple" or use a photograph of one, and mentally "push" the idea for a minute. Or thinking "loudly" inside your mind also works, as with raising an inner voice (reading voice). If someone is in range, they will suddenly feel a craving for an apple, however carefully placed on a nearby table. This also works with "psychic flashcards" of varied images like a square, circle, wavy lines, or triangle and having someone nearby write or draw whatever they see.(c) Copyright 2012, 2013 Michael J.

The UEIR Code Caesar 4.0 is the Laws for the Provincial Empire of the United Egyptian Imperial-Republic, and may be used as Currency by its citizens. Read about the secret country being advertised by covert intelligence after 1993. Copyright 2010 M7-UEIR. The United Egyptian Imperial-Republic actually started with intention by Roman Consul, Gaius Julius Caesar (Dictator), when he chose to build his capital of an "Eastern Egyptian Empire" at Alexandria, Egypt. This would have sealed his relationship with the Egyptian Empire by marriage to Queen Cleopatra VII, and become a Pharaoh (divine-king) of a united Roman-Egypt. This goal was not realized due to his assassination on March 15 in the Roman Senate. Roman Senators were maliciously informed of Caesar's plot to form this new Empire, but Caesar intended to maintain ties to Rome, as an Imperial-Republic. So Caesar's spirit waited until a time when there was no persecution or obstacles in his way.

Alexander, Son of Ammon:Enter a glimpse into the unfinished life of Alexander the Great. Witness his vivid battles, his family problems, and even his sexual fantasies about Amazon warriors. A Macedonian general lifted his visor an inch to taste the wind. He barked out a command and took out a bow and an arrow from his quiver and strung it. Pulling back the bowstring he shot the arrow into the clouds, down it came onto a tree, signaling his legions to charge over the river. The men cheerfully mounted horses and pushed them onwards into the river, splashing the waters with their hooves. Suddenly figures arose from the waters. They carried long curved blades and wore chain link mail over their breasts and loins and mantles. Various blends of colors became their hair as each figure angled their blades and drew blood from the Macedonians in the river. Alexander, weighted under his armor, dismounted his horse and ran towards the leader on foot. She dismounted also. They stood before each other, her with blood and water dripping precariously about her shoulders, him with anger in his voice. Her face grimaced a roar. He struck her across her jaw with his sword hilt. She returned with a blow to his sword, then another. As he was about to slice her ear off she kicked his stomach, forcing him to miss. Another kick landed against his jaw as he drooped forward. He flung his sword at her helmet, knocking it off. Angrily, she jumped onto his body, and they both fell into the waters. Alexander floated above the sandy floor and found her clawing hands searching for him, so he kicked at them with a free leg. She grabbed that leg and forced him towards her. Alexander fell back into the waters. Darkness filled the visible scenery followed by inklings of blood. The Amazon pressed his face into her chest, then tightened her body about his like a snake. He slipped from her grasp, then fell against her abdominal muscles, pressed hard then slipped again until he became entangled in her legs. She pressed her calves against his neck to her thigh then released. He fell away from the Amazon altogether, then surfaced. His mouth burst open for air. Then she stood up above the water and her wet hair on her head rose up as snakes, her eyes turning golden like solar flames. A fireball shot from her mouth and enveloped Alexander, his limbs turning stiff like granite. He felt his hand brush against a metal object floating near the surface so he grasped it with an ounce of remaining strength. It was a shield with a mirror polish. He lifted it up and the Amazon saw her reflection, her smile turning sour then as a shriek of anguish as her body was transformed from flesh to stone. The stone effigy broke into millions of shards as a sword was thrust into it from behind. The owner of the sword disappeared from sight. (c) Copyright 1998, 2012 Michael J.

Nomarch's tomb - A Strategy Game about Ancient Egypt - by Michael J. Costa: Nomarch's tomb is a strategy game that consists of 3 square grids representing 3 land regions of Ancient Egypt. The players move their pawns in these grids, collecting property cards upon landing on a square and either buying the land or conquering it with their Army, also represented as cards. Gold is earned by the player for farming (buying farm land), appeasing the gods (buying Temples), conquest (using Army cards with dice to determine results), or trade (trading cards with other players). Players may land on a marked square for certain actions. Use "Plunder" Cards where the player takes 3 cards from all players (or an amount of gold if no cards are available); "Tribute" where the player gives 1 card to all other players (or gold); "Oracle" using the Oracle Deck of cards for certain actions; & "Golden Coffers" Card Deck that gives rewards. When the player has enough gold and property cards then s/he may build their Tomb and Mortuary Temple. The Tomb is an untouchable property card held in place by a Pyramid piece. The game ends when one player completes the Tomb and Mortuary Temple and becomes a Nomarch. The winner then plays a Bonus Game of Senet to secure their afterlife and earn more rewards from the Golden Coffers deck. Senet is played with all the player pawns in the game; up to 7 players are possible for Nomarch's Tomb. Copyright 2014 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.

We study five years of data on patents listed and sold in the quasi-public “brokered” market. Our data covers almost 39,000 assets, an estimated 80 percent of all patents and applications offered for sale by patent brokers between 2012 and 2016. We provide statistics on the size and composition of the brokered market, including the types of buyers and sellers who participate in the market, the types of patents listed and sold on the market, and how market conditions have changed over time. We conclude with an analysis of what our data can tell us about how to accurately value technology, the costs and benefits of patent monetization, and the brokered market's ability to measure the impact of changes to patent law.

Summary:Archaeology: the lure of treasure-hunters-turned-scientists, the discovery of ancient artifacts and unknown civilizations. Now add Flea Markets to the mixture and you have Cultural Anthropology with antiquities galore. You never know what you will find there. Usually anything of value to history is not on the minds of overly-burdened vendors. Most vendors I had the chance to know want to sell you their prized junk, usually at cheap to modest prices.I collect for educational reasons, not for entertaining value. Each piece is a study-aid, from varied cultures of historical significance. Then came the addiction. Cataloged artifacts were largely over-priced according to the Flea Market vendors' opinion. Over priced or over- valued is hard to say.I use artifact catalogs mostly to examine what artifacts look like, what time period produced them, their size and shape, etc. This replaces a dig site or artifact books, though my personal "library" contains reference materials from the Near East to Western cultures. I have Stamp Collector books, Coin books (both American and Ancient), books on Marketed toys (the kind used to market films), and history books.For anyone interested in this concept, you will need a few suggestions. First, don't seem too interested in the item - that is a red flag to the vendor, which may increase the price of the artifact. Second, look around the object: see if there are any other items hidden beneath it or beside it. Once there was a statue I wanted, and it hid a pile of coins I hadn't noticed before, one of which was a 4 inch Chinese Cash coin. Third, bring a backpack or large duffle for multiple or larger items. I usually carry a backpack, though I prefer to find small objects there. Fourth, invest in plastic sleeves and 3-ring binders purchased at a local Office store; this is to preserve either paper items like postage stamps or currency, and for research materials with photos of the artifacts. Fifth, examine the items for any damage or marks which may indicate age or genuineness (fake artifacts can be identified by structural design or cross section). Researching items before going to a Flea Market is recommended so as to know what characteristics to look for in the vast wasteland of artifacts, if you plan on targeting one particular culture. Bring enough cash [especially one-dollar bills] as most vendors there rarely accept credit cards unless it is sports related or from an actual business like jewelry, College groups, or a marketplace. I have seen small businesses use Flea Markets to attract customers.Copyright 2012 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.
