The Mysterious Coral Castle

Yep, that guy had a really good grip on magnetism.
I'm familiar with the coral castle. I don't personally think it's too mysterious, but it is fascinating.
I've actually heard it categorized as a "roadside oddity"

I compare Ed to Nicolai Tessla in that they both seemed to have vast knowledge of the otherwise forbidden kind.

You know what they both had in common? They both relied on experimental observation to guide them, even if it contradicted the current theories of their days.

I like to say that they had "friends in high places". Whether those friends were physical or not is up for grabs and anyone's guess. Neither guy ever said. But they must have had or they couldn't have come up with all the extraordinary ideas that had practical application.

Ever had strong voices in your head telling you to do something? I have and the voice was always right. My supposition is that Ed had lots of voices and they were quite clear.

I will go out on a limb here, (so naysayers feel free to take some shots at me) but I think you may be right. For example, there are two crop circles which have the same morphology of Ed's pond (with the two half moons) if viewed from above. I really find this too strange to be coincidence, as the pond's symbology directly relates to his perpetual motion machine. I can't seem to post images on ATS, otherwise I'd put them up for you to see and compare. Maybe the mason's are making the CCs!

Let me see if this works...

Anyway, I've had my own personal experiences that I will not discuss on ATS. They are personal, and are my own, and I can't prove any of them... I'm not sure I would want to. Our brains are transceivers, so be careful of what is coming through and what you're sending out. If there is wisdom in those voices/thoughts or the action won't lead to any harm, by all means listen to them. We do have friends.


Edit to add: It worked, but I don't know what the hell the thirsty fish thing is all about.

part of the mystery is how much knowledge Edward had- or, what knowledge he had!.

Much is on display - contrary to the usual ways we see history and mystery recorded - parchment papers, heiroglyphic carvings, cave paintings, allegorical tales, etc. His is there - tons and tons of it.tangible, in your face.It won't blow away in a hurricane I expect.

Celestial edifices and alignments. some 18, 22 or even about 30 tons weight each.

He apparently moved the site!!! to its present location, so really he managed the lifts 5 times. His list would have read:
1.find and cut huge rocks - on own
2.erect castle-on own
3.take down as I think it is not on correct exact spot on the planet - why?
4.load on lorry (apparently)
5.take to new location and erect - again on own. doh

He also told people he knew the ancient methods of what is essentially anti gravity or something along those lines.

Block and tackle probably was used - but so would you to manouver - maybe he did find a way of 'lightening the load' affecting the vibration or something of each block. We are all vibration aren't we?

The technique is called levitation. Through various vibrations i.e. sound you can literally "turn off" gravity. It's all accomplished through leveraging natural forces.

Same way as the Temple of Baalbek and other monolithic sites got built.

Hi ya Flux,

Interesting notice of those crop circles....keen eyes you have there mate.

Don't forget the testimony of the friend who helped Ed move the pieces with his truck/lorry. His friend forgot his lunchpail and went back to get it out of the truck, where upon returning he found it fully loaded and ready to go. It had to have been done in under ~15 minutes, according to how long the friend was gone. He also said that Ed carried a briefcase with him which had weird metal knobs coming out of it. If true, was this briefcase the housing for a smaller portable unit, the knobs being external leads and the rotor and magnet(s) held inside?

You say this so matter of factly, can we assume you have a functioning device? One which will move 10-30 ton stone, not ping-pong balls and styrofoam cups in a cubical? That is the scope and scale of what he accomplished. Or did I misinterpret you?

Thank you. I won't hijack this thread but I feel/think there are some important clues in some CCs that may relate back to Ed, his 'sweet sixteen', and his castle.

Hi ya Flux,

Ya know when you watch the code 144 video and it keeps refering to the 'drop zone'....I notice many 'drop zones' in CC. Could be happenstance, but I constantly notice it.

Ive read that ancient sites hold a polarity, negative or positive ect....and they seem to make a circle around the Earth if laid out. Then to think of a giant wheel like machine, as big as the Earth, being made through these sites holding polarities.....and then thinking of the aligning of the Earth with the North Star every 24,000 yrs....I get this strange curious thought running through my mind....what if something really weird happens on earth every time this alignment happens....and what if a HUGE drop zone occurs.

And if we add up how long it takes us to revolve through the zodiac, 2000 yrs or so for each segment....is there a bigger meaning to keeping track of the ages?

Does this make any sense to you, I have trouble wording what I think sometimes.

Am I way out there lol ?

Here is a repost of mine earlier in this thread where I got that idea that the choice of where ancient sites are is more then just happenstance.

home.hiwaay.net...

The coral castle(as well as the pyramids, and quite a few other buildings of antiquity) was built by harnessing the power that can be contained within the ankh (or for that matter, any object of similar construct and design). Once Edward learned the method, it was a simple feat. Anyone can utilize the same method, but only few know how.

I don't think you're out of line at all. Ed compared his 'ideas' with the planets, specifically Jupiter, the eye of the storm, and the striation of weather currents. As I said before, the potential danger of misuse of this knowledge could be catastrophic. But the proper use could be... enlightening.

Now, personally, I'm not saying I agree with everything Ed went on about, but I think most of what he wrote is seriously worth considering, and your guess is conceptually as good as any.

When I hear everyone talking of raptures and ascensions....I think that if something like this ever has happened or ever would happen....it wouldnt be supernatural like what most religions want to think. I think it would be tied into a natural order somehow (like alignments). So when I think of a drop zone the size of the Earth at the North Pole....I relate this to what many misinterpret as a supernatural ascension. Not saying we would all float away if anything like that were to hold any value....but mabey this is how vibrations on a planet change on a very wide scale.

Just wrapping up where that thought comes from in my litl ol mind.

All thoughts are welcome,
LV

"Edward spent over 28 years building the Coral Castle"

en.wikipedia.org...

The fact that it took him 28 years to build this thing alone fits, but it only fits if he used pullies, wedges, and hand-built crains. When he said he discovered the secret of the pyramids I think he was talking about the natural 'pullies, wedges and hand build-crains' period. Kids thought he levitated stuff? Kids talk a lot of crap, doesn't make it true, if I grew up there when he was constructing it I'd probably speculate and repeat the urban myths as well.

The fact that it took him 28 years to build the Coral Castle is proof to me, that he used *no* levitation, think about it, if you could levitate those stones, it would be like building a lego castle as a kid, it would take a few months maybe 2 years maximum not 28 years.

For what it is worth, I think he spent more time making the stones and their shapes then moving them....if he did move them at all.

One thing I remember reading about his methods was that he stated "he'd found the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids" and that it's also so easy, it's practically right in front of our nose.

What always amaze me is that every human being that allegedly knew stuff that would most likely change everything on our world to the better just choose to die in silence instead of sharing.

Maybe it's because the truth doesn't sell tickets... I don't know.

Interesting stuff tho

I don't agree with wiki on this. To my understanding he began construction in 1920 and moved it North in the mid 1930s, BUT the castle was already completed, sans coral furniture/monuments. It took him 3 years to tear it down, move it North, then RE-construct it, adding a 9 ton perfectly balanced swiveling coral gate (renaming the new site 'Rockgate' for this reason). Anyway, do the math.

Wiki's account is misleading... Quarrying AND construction of the main castle took anywhere from 10-15 years, not 28. Sure, he continually added bits and pieces here and there over the rest of his days, but saying it took him 28 years to build the castle would be analogous to saying it took you 3 years to build a big beautiful house on your own, and another 3 years to decorate it with furniture, artwork, etc. Therefore it took you 6 years to build your house. It's misleading.

Funny how the devil is in the details.

talking of details , isn't there 2 of the centre balanced swivel doors?
Just making one would be an engineering feat.

Does anyone have any pictures of the place, maybe even of some of the devices, from a trip there?

Its got me intrigued now. Who took over the castle after Ed died? what happened to the tool room?

I have a link I posted earlier....it is a break down of a video that was made and show the video frame by frame. It has alot of pictures and someones personal spin on clues that Ed left behind.

www.code144.com...

the next link has some pictures, it is the actual coral castle site

www.coralcastle.com...

and the next link is a article/book Ed wrote himself called 'Magnetic Currents' which is utterly interesting

www.labyrinthina.com...

I think he wrote 5 articles that were published in the one of Florida's papers, there are more articles Im sure, just a little google...

LV

LV, I got a chance to look into that website about the alignment of mysterious sites, and I must say it's very interesting. Could this be the 'flowing river' I allegorically wrote about earlier in this thread? Where the earth's 'energy' (magnetic?) could be tapped into/accumulated the most efficiently, powerfully, etc? Fun stuff to think about.

Something I'd like to mention, though... comparing it to Jim Alison's observations (author of that website), Ed's castle isn't on or near that sine wave/line. I've heard/read somewhere that Ed moved his castle 10 miles North because he'd 'miscalculated'. (Although more than likely the thugs that beat him up at his original location, and the development of the surrounding area may have had more to do with influencing his decision to move.) According to those charts, Ed should have moved MUCH farther North or Northwest. But, maybe that wasn't very practical for him so he compromised... All speculation here.

Interesting story, but I'm not buying it.

It all seems just a little too mysterious and vague to me. I can see why people would want to believe it, but I see no reason to believe he used anything other than modern technology to build this place.

Yeah you know except he didnt have a 50 ton crane and a small army of dudes to help, not to mention he didn't have squat for resources other then the land and stone.

As a practical matter I'd like to throw in a bit.Operative(actual stoneworkers)Masons have a way of attaching lifting apparatus to stones.It is called a 'lewis' which consists of three wedge segments attached to a clevis by a pin.A dovetail shaped hole is hewn into the load into which the three pieces are inserted and pinned together.This must be at the balance point(poise actually) on the load.For instance,on the moon shaped elements,to lift and place these the dovetail would be on top and clearly visible on the back.The shape of these rather precludes a lifting sling as it would1 have to be under the load and interfere with placement&2prone to slipping and damaging a most fragile shaped carving.On stones placed with a lewis the holes are usually covered by the next course in construction,when not covered they are filled to prevent degradation from the elements.Wrapping and unwrapping the load(rigging)is time consuming and not done at night as the knots must be done right,no mistakes,and balanced.And easily untied after being put under load,no easy thing,or cut and discarded.Freemasonry(operative,not speculative) refers to workers on stones with no grain,hence free to be cut any direction,like limestone and unlike slate.So if lifting apperatus was used,he/she would have had a few lewises along with chains,hoists and levers.Have y'all ever used a Tibetan Singing Bowl?Mysterious...
