Special Edition: Conference on Precession & Ancient Knowledge

Summary

Earth Ancients host Cliff talks with Walter Cruttenden, founder of the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge (CPAK), about his theory that humanity rises and falls through 24,000-year cycles of consciousness called yugas. Cruttenden argues that precession is caused by our solar system orbiting a companion star rather than by Earth's wobble, and that this motion drives Golden and Dark Ages. The episode also previews conference talks, including claims that frozen water from Egypt's Osireion forms hieroglyph-like symbols and that the pyramids' slope angles produce musical chords.

Key takeaways

• 1Walter Cruttenden claims precession is caused by the whole solar system orbiting another star, not a wobble of Earth's axis, and that this motion drives cycles of human consciousness.
• 2Following Sri Yukteswar and Manu, the yuga cycle lasts 24,000 years (12,000 ascending and 12,000 descending), with its low point around 500 AD. Cruttenden says humanity entered the Dwapara Yuga around 1700.
• 3Cruttenden claims humans lost telepathy and clairvoyance at the end of the Treta Yuga, around 3100 BC, which is why writing became necessary. He offers this as an explanation for how sites like Gobekli Tepe and the Great Pyramid were built.
• 4Veda Austin, building on Masaru Emoto's work, reportedly flash-froze water from the Osireion at Abydos and found crystal patterns resembling a mix of hieroglyphs and cuneiform.
• 5Robert Edward Grant will argue that the different slope angles of the Egyptian pyramids create resonant 'chords of music' on the Earth.
• 6Other references include the book 'The Yugas' by Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz, Nick Hodgson of Astro Gems on the claimed etheric properties of gold and gems, and early CPAK speakers John Major Jenkins, Graham Hancock, Robert Schoch and John Anthony West.

Transcript excerpt

They just posted their streaming package. It's actually $ 99. So I said $ 100. So a buck more. But that's what I would do. I mean, before they collapsed, the contact or the Cosmic Summit was streamed. And who's the other one we work with? Megalithomania is streamed from England. So that's really... the best way to enjoy it because not only do you get to hear people live, they save all the others in a database package and allows you to see them in the convenience of your day. Evening, or whatever. And I've been wanting to promote this for a while because I really admire a conference that will stream the presentations because it gives everybody around the world a chance to see it. If you're in London, if you're in Italy, If you're in Australia and you're a fan of earth agents and you enjoy the speakers, this is a way to hear this excellent lineup. I think it's like 12 people. Maybe it's 15. Robert Edward Grant is always fascinating. Of course, we just had Randall Carlson and we had Walter Cronendale on the program as well. And in fact, that's our program today with Walter, who's coming to us from Los Angeles, and he's going to give us the rundown, all the details, all the specifics on just what you can expect. If you can get yourself down there, use the code EARTHANCIENTS, and you'll get $ 100 off the entrance fee, which is, I think entrance is $ 500. But that's a really nice hotel. It's the Hyatt Regency, Newport Beach, right on the water. It's gorgeous right now. And I guarantee it'll be gorgeous when you're down there September 25th. Now, autumn officially starts September 22nd, autumn equinox. ...
