Point within the circle is my tribe: In the year 49J7W as centre, when radius = 1, 22 / 7 as rational PI circumference has #0 (ternary number) with the new moon of 20 March (last 1996), as commencing the 6D cycle. I'm not into feral Anglo-Saxon-Celts who think Indigenous Dutch Australians are 2nd class citizens. - dolf - http://www.grapple.id.au/Chronicles/jahaag.html daniel <danielthomasandrewdaly@live.com.au> wrote: > The First Chronicles of the > > Children of Destiny > > > > The Cherubim Sandra > > > > �Dreams� > > > by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly > www.noahidebooks.com > > > 9018 SC / Televon 511 > > > > Chapter One > > > > �Living in the Realm of Eternity again, after her long sojourn on > earth, was a period of bliss in its initial years for the Cherubim > Sandra.
