As I woke up, I got dimensions and other information.  The stone was about 6-8″ long, 2.5-3″ wide, and about an inch thick.  The sides were rounded, and after a quick lookup on google, learned that they were a half bullnose.  I also got something about a 37.5 degree angle, but no further detail.  I tried looking up information on it, but was only somewhat successful.  There are isoceles triangles with 37.5, 37.5 and 105 degree angles, and to me, they look a good bit like pyramids, but that’s about it.

There was a second stone as well.  It was round, about the size of a softball but would fit in your hand comfortably.  It wasn’t perfectly round, as it had at least one flat area to it.  It was a light sky blue and yellow-green (chartreuse), and the colors were swirled together a little bit, not distinctly separate.

I got some paper out and started drawing what I thought it looked like.  I draw like a 5-year old.  With the help of a little drawing software, I came up with the stunning art work you see here.  The Louvre called and said they wanted to replace the Mona Lisa with my beautiful masterpiece, but I turned down the offer.

Anyhow, after a little while, I got two words associated with the stones – Arkenham and Celebrinite.  I didn’t find any good information on either word.

I’ve never seen or heard of stones like these before.  If you have any ideas about it, I’d like to know.

I gave her another iteration of the book this week, and it finally passed her scrutiny. There are some very-very minor edits left over, but that’s about it.  Now I can move on and have others review it.

It’s a big relief for me.  It took ten years to get to this point.  Time spent writing, letting it sit for months or more, thinking through the material, then editing, and letting it sit again.  Like wine, it has been aging and changing over time.  Now it’s ready to move forward in the process.

On the very same day, I went to a seminar involving Egyptian spirituality.  It was interesting.  When I got back home, I sat down to my computer as usual, and the screen saver was a pyramid with the keystone separated from the base, with an eye in it – like on the back of the American dollar bill.  My screen saver has a few hundred different items in it, and it’s rare to see the same item twice.  On top of that, I had finished reading Dan Brown’s book, The Lost Symbol, just a few days before, which makes it all the more interesting.

I appreciate these indicators from the spirits.  I like to think of them as beacons that help to guide and direct you, perhaps like the ones here.
