I'd be interested in exploring this premise a little further. If two
people come up with identical information then I would think that either
1) their information was based on earthly reason and they came to the same
conclusion, 2) one received information from the other or 3) they are
both correct. Is there another way?

It seems like he was referring to a much larger stone, but I imagine the
possibility exists that a symbolic smaller version might have been worn
around the neck.
I took the following quotes from and excellent source on EC and Atlantis:
http://www.wrldnet.net/~bluapple/atlwww.cgi/1
READING: 5037-2
Entity was in Atlantis, a priestess and the keeper of the white stone or
that through which many of those peoples before the first destructions in
Atlantis kept their accord with the universal consciousness, through the
speaking to and through those activities.
(Q) Describe in detail the entity's work with the White Stone, and present
urges from this.
(A) This may be well implied from that indicated. The entity as the high
priestess was the interpreter of the messages received through the
concentration of the group upon the stone from which the oracle spoke from
the realm of the saints (as would be termed today), or impressed upon those
of that period - the group -
the messages of hope, encouragement, endearment, and the necessity of
keeping the oneness of purpose.

Archaeology will always be an incomplete science in my opinion and anyone
who bases their view of history solely upon this will always have a
distorted view. I don't know why it bothers me so much; I think it has
something to do with the truth.
>How do you define "correctness" of view or "accurate" sources of

I use the technique I previously mentioned - by comparison of information
from independent sources and searching for understanding. I'm not sure
what your concept of 'deep' is...

Maybe I'm not old enough to accept this. :-)

I think correct history could be known. It all 'boils down' to who we
believe or who we trust. I've argued on another list with a Mayan
archaeologist who believes the esoteric knowledge that his people wrote but
not an esoteric knowledge obtained recently. Didn't the information come
from the same source?

It seems to me that along with those who only trust science, there are
others, today, who will trust anybody who has a message from the 'other
side'. It seems to me that this latter group is the most worried.

I'll try. :-)
