CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

I’ve always loved The Beatles. Their music was the soundtrack to my childhood. One of the earliest memories I have is of going to a party with my parents, being put to bed, and singing along to Twist and Shout, laying in the darkness. I really looked forward all week to watching The Beatles cartoon show on Saturday mornings. Like most, my favorite Beatle was Paul yeah-yeah-yeah!

What did people perceive that made them so love The Beatles?

Was there genius in the mix? Who or what was it?

Was it Paul? Was it John?

Are the songs that wonderful or was it just clever marketing? Is it is just nostalgia, the radiation from the Beatlemania explosion?

And finally, out of all the millions of kids who grew up wanting to be Beatles, who wanted to ascend to the toppermost of the poppermost, why hasn’t any succeeded? Why doesn’t anyone write songs like Hey Jude anymore? Why does even Paul McCartney seem like a pale imitation of Beatle Paul? Did Paul really die as was the rumour?

The Beatles story has been called a supernatural story by Beatles biographer Philip Norman and that’s the conclusion I came to after exploring the phenomenon of walk-ins, gods/goddesses returning to earth.

We’ll take a trip to the crossroads where we encounter legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Strange days indeed, most peculiar mama (Nobody Told Me-Lennon)

Remember "Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about". I don’t intend to spoil your Beatles memories. Just think of these conclusions as science fiction. None of these observations can be proven. I wasn’t there at the time, and nobody shared any secrets with me. They’re speculative, and I mostly use synchronicity to come to my resolutions.

CHAPTER 2

WHAT'S A WALK IN?

My conclusion is Paul was replaced by a walk-in for a number of years. I’ll tell you who, why ,where and when as we progress.

What is a walk-in?

A walk-in is an ancient phenomenon that was first described in Hinduism. It’s modern name was coined in the Spiritualist faith and was popularized by the related, but not identical, New Age movements and set of beliefs. A walk-in is a phenomenon in which a person whose original soul has departed from his or her body and been replaced with a new soul.

Moreover in a walk-in not only has the original soul departed his or her body it has been replaced with a new, more advanced, soul. Ruth Montgomery popularized this idea in her 1979 book, Strangers Among Us. A walk in is a soul exchange with another being, either permanent or temporary.

Believers maintain that it is possible for the original soul of a human to leave a person's body and for another soul to walk-in. Incarnating into a fully grown body allows the more advanced soul to carry out its mission without having to go through the two decades of maturation that humans need to reach adulthood.

Unlike cases of Christian possession, a walk-in is sort of a contract between two parties for usually for a set period of time.

Sometimes a soul will rent out its body to another soul for a short period of time, allowing itself a respite from the travails of human life. Transient souls will walk-in to a human body similar to a professional house-sitter. As mentioned the transient walk-in will go on to play house with the persons family, friends, neighbors, etc. until the original soul returns. It appears to be a pre-life agreement.

The film Heaven Can Wait portrays one soul replacing a recently deceased man's soul and reviving and inhabiting his body.

The Hawkgirl comics, the K-PAX series of books and film, and the Twilight Zone episode The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank have all featured situations similar or identical to walk-in phenomena, although the term walk-in is not used in those presentations.

In the Death of Superman story cycle, a handful of new superheroes appear, among them John Henry Irons, who calls himself the Man of Steel. He never claims to be the real Superman, but Lois Lane speculates that if Superman were dead, perhaps his soul had moved into Irons' body as a walk-in, and she uses that very term.

I knew all along that Superman would return, and now he has. Not necessarily in the form, people might have expected, but it was him. Listen, have you ever heard of a walk-in spirit? When a body has been abandoned by one spirit but is not yet uninhabitable, then another spirit can move in. Anyway, whatever he is, the cards tell me for sure that the man who saved me today is the Man of Steel. For sure.

The X-Files episode Red Museum discusses walk-ins, described by Mulder as enlightened spirits who have taken possession of the bodies of people who have lost hope and who want to leave this life. The concept is revisited in the X-Files episode Closure.

In the TV series Ghost Whisperer, the season 4 episode Threshold uses the term step-in" when the soul of one of the series' main characters, who died in the previous episode, enters the body of a man who dies in an unrelated accident.

We’ll be referring to Paul’s walk-in replacement from this point in brackets such as (Paul) or (Paul McCartney).

Walkin' The Dog

A walk in is signified in the music world by droppin’ the g.

Such as ‘Walkin’ the dog’, released by Rufus Thomas in 63. Thomas was an American rhythm-and-blues, funk, soul and blues singer, songwriter, dancer, DJ and comic entertainer from Memphis, Tennessee. He recorded for several labels, including Chess Records and Sun Records in the 1950s, before becoming established in the 1960s and 1970s at Stax Records.

The dog refers to the dog star Sirius. You know Sirius. ’Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ pretty much the first thing we were taught at school. ’like a diamond in the sky’

Covered by Rolling Stones, Roger Daltry of The Who, Aerosmith, John Cale, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames,, Green Day, Hans Theessink, the Flamin' Groovies, the Kingsmen, the Sonics, Ace Cannon, Jackie Shane, the Trashmen, Luv'd Ones, Bob Paisley and the Southern Grass and Ratt. It was performed live occasionally by the Grateful Dead in 1966, 1970, and the mid-eighties.

Baby's back, dressed in black, silver buttons all down her back.

High, low, tipsy toe, she broke a needle and she can't sew.

Walkin' the dog, just a-walkin' her dog. If you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how the walk the dog.

Asked the fellow for fifteen cents, see the fellow he jumped the fence.

Jumped so high he touched the sky, never got back till the fourth of July.

Walkin' the dog, just a-walkin' her dog. If you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how the walk the dog.

Robert Johnson refers to a Walk-in in Walkin Blues, where he references dyin’.Walkin' Blues is a blues standard written and recorded by American Delta blues musician Son House in 1930. Although unissued at the time, it was part of House's repertoire and other musicians, including Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, adapted the song and recorded their own versions.

Walkin Blues, Johnson's 1936 rendition incorporates melodic and rhythmic elements from House's My Black Mama (which House also used for his Death Letter) and slide guitar techniques Johnson learned from House.

On the Lucifer Records label released 1967. The B-side to Darling Lorraine.

Darling Lorraine references an angel divine sent from heaven.

Origin of the name Lorraine:

Transferred use of the surname originating from the name of a province in eastern France, which is derived from the Latin Lotharingia (territory of the people of Lothar). Lothar, the name of the son of the Frankish king Clovis, is of Germanic origin and is derived from the elements hluod (famous) and hari, heri (army): hence, famous army.

Blue lightning

Walter Mosley writes about the angel that sings, sent by a blue god to help the black people in Walkin the Dog released 2000

At first he thought the trill and bleating note was part of a dream. A sweet note so high it had to be the angel that Aunt Bellandra said the blue god sent, to save the black mens from fallin' out the world complete. He got a real high voice like a trumpet an' he always come at the last second, after a fool done lost his job, his money, his wife, his self-respect and just about everything else he got. Just about dead, Bellandra proclaimed, clapping her hands together loudly, an' that's when the angel sing.

Back when he was a little boy, Socrates feared his tall and severe auntie. But he was also enthralled by her stories about the black race in a white world under a blue god who barely noticed man.

When he almost gone that angel just might make his move, she'd say. And when a black man hear that honied voice all the terrible loss an' pain fall right away an' the man look up an' see that he always knew the right road but he never made the move.

Again the high note. This time strained a bit. This time a little warble in Socrates' sleep.

But not everybody could hear it. Some dope fiends too high an' some mens hatin' too hard. Sometimes the angel is that much too late and his song becomes a funeral hymn.

Jump in’ Jack Flash

"Jumpin' Jack Flash is a song by English rock band the Rolling Stones, released as a single in 1968 (backed with Child of the Moon") Pay attention to the synchronicity of B-sides and A-sides on 45 singles.

One of the group's most popular and recogniseable songs, it has featured in films and been covered by numerous performers, notably Thelma Houston, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Peter Frampton, Johnny Winter and Leon Russell.

Jumpin Jack Flash Its a Gas,Gas Gas go the lyrics.

The word gas is a neologism first used by the early 17th-century Flemish chemist J.B. van Helmont. Van Helmont's word appears to have been simply a phonetic transcription of the Greek word χάος Chaos – the g in Dutch being pronounced like ch in loch – in which case Van Helmont was simply following the established alchemical usage first attested in the works of Paracelsus.

According to Paracelsus's terminology, chaos meant something like ultra-rarefied water.

An alternative story is that Van Helmont's word is corrupted from gahst (or geist), signifying a ghost or spirit.

This was because certain gases suggested a supernatural origin, such as from their ability to cause death, extinguish flames, and to occur in mines, bottom of wells, churchyards and other lonely places.

Jumpin’ as an alternative to walk in. Jumpin’ not jumping.

American singer Don Mclean refers to Jack Flash in the lyric to his huge hit American Pie.

So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

Helter Skelter is also a term relating to chaos.

Definition of helter–skelter

1: in a confused and reckless manner e.g Children raced helter-skelter through the house.

2: in great disorder Toys were thrown helter-skelter around the room.

3 : slide that twists around a tower at an amusement park

And the parting on the left

Some interesting facts that can occur on the physical body after the replacement of souls takes place.

Change in eyesight prescription (usually improvement)

Change in head hair color

Change in texture and curliness of hair

Change in direction of hair growth on head (changes in optimal position of parting from one side to the other)

Changes in digestive health and emotional composure

On the cover of Yesterday And Today the image was printed backwards. You can tell by the shirt buttons and John’s hair part which was always on his left.

On the cover (Paul’s) hair is parted on his right which only happened after 1965.His hair currently has returned to a left hand part.

According to a study called The Hair Part Theory a left hair part draws unconscious attention to the activities that are controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain, i.e. activities traditionally attributed to masculinity.

A right hair part draws unconscious attention to the activities that are controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain, i.e. activities traditionally attributed to femininity. A man who parts his hair on the right, and who is striving for positive assessment in a traditionally male role is at risk for having difficulties in interpersonal relationships, since he is sending a mixed, subconscious message by emphasizing the activities of the brain traditionally attributed to femininity.

When a person puts a part in their hair, left or right, they are emphasizing the left or right cranial hemisphere functioning. Currently accepted knowledge of cranial hemisphere functioning is that the left hemisphere specializes in language, memories of words, math, logic, linear operations and activities traditionally attributed to masculinity in our culture. The right hemisphere specializes in visual processing, memories of pictures, musical perception and nonlinear tasks traditionally attributed to femininity in our culture.

CHAPTER 3

SO THE STORY GOES

You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.

—Abraham Lincoln

If you’ve been around here for any length of time you will have discovered that the world just doesn’t work this way. We’re fed the rubbish that the world is your oyster when we’re young. That you can achieve whatever you set your mind to, even the office of US president. Then you do a little research and find that all the US presidents are related to England’s King John.

Martin van Buren seems to be an exception due to his Dutch roots until you find van Buren is related to Eleanor of Aquitaine, King John's mother, which means ALL the people who were U.S. president are related.

We see John's descent and yet another line to van Buren from John's paternal/maternal/paternal great-great grandparents, William the Conqueror m. Mathilde de Flanders. John's line goes to them through Henry II, Mahaut of England, and Henry I (Beauclerc). van Buren's line comes through Stephen, King England, the line competing with Henry I's line to continue as King. So, all US presidents are direct descendants of William the Conqueror and Mathilde.

All three of these lines of descent, and relation to John Lackland, come through van Buren's mother's 14th-great-grandmother Isabelle de Hornes (b. ca 1296).

So why would we think the Beatles, the biggest pop group, would be any different

The level of fame they attained was because of their importance in the system.

Our first appearance was in Rosebery Street - it was their Empire Day celebrations. They had this party out in the street. We played from the back of a lorry. We didn't get paid. We played at blokes' parties after that; perhaps got a few bob, but mostly we just played for fun. We didn't mind about not being paid.

—John Lennon, 1967

Anthology

The celebrations were for the 750th anniversary of King John granting Liverpool a Royal Charter, inviting settlers to take up burgages or building plots in Liverpool, and promising them all the privileges enjoyed by free boroughs on the sea.

So the story goes four young lads met randomly and went on to become the toppermost of the poppermost.

The most popular and influential musical group of all time.

James Penny Lane

LIVERPOOL, England - Beatles lovers who seek out Penny Lane imagine it as that magical place in my ears and in my eyes, there beneath the blue suburban skies. But it has a sinister undertone that still reverberates.

The street in Liverpool, hometown of the Fab Four, is named after James Penny, a slave trader and investor in 11 voyages that took 500 to 600 captives at a time to the New World.

Penny was among the many who enriched themselves and their city on human trafficking until the slave trade was abolished 200 years ago. Their ships carried millions of human beings from West Africa to the plantations of the Americas in a triangular trade that also brought profitable cargoes of sugar, tobacco and rum to England.

Liverpool's rise, says British historian Ray Costello, is summed up in a carving on a local bank facade: two black children supporting Liverpool as Neptune.What it really means is that this bank was founded on the slave trade, Costello said.

That revelation resonates all the more with the approach of the March 25 anniversary of the British parliamentary act that abolished the slave trade in Britain's colonies 200 years ago - though not slavery itself.

Liverpool's past has not gone unacknowledged. The city council formally apologized in 1999, expressing shame and remorse for the city's role in this trade in human misery.And it has commissioned statues titled Reconciliation, two abstract bronze figures embracing, which was dedicated in Richmond, Va., and Benin, a West African port of call for Liverpool's slave ships.

On Aug. 23, the anniversary of the slave uprising in French-ruled Haiti in 1791, Liverpool also opened the International Slavery Museum. Liverpool council member Barbara Mace proposed renaming streets associated with slavery, and was surprised to learn that Penny Lane was among them. After a lively controversy the proposal was withdrawn. 

The Cavern

The Cavern Club is a nightclub at 10 Mathew Street, in Liverpool, England.

The original Cavern Club opened on 16 January 1957 as a jazz club, later becoming a centre of the rock and roll scene in Liverpool in the 1960s. The Beatles played in the club in their early years. Alan Sytner opened The Cavern Club, having been inspired by the jazz district in Paris, where there were a number of clubs in cellars. Sytner returned to Liverpool and strove to open a club similar to the Le Caveau de la Huchette jazz club in Paris. He eventually found a fruit warehouse where people were leasing the cellar, before this it was used as an air raid shelter in WWII The club was opened on 16 January 1957. The first act to perform at the opening of the club was the Merseysippi Jazz Band.

The club hosted its first performance by The Beatles on Thursday 9 February 1961. Brian Epstein, The Beatles manager who secured the groups' first recording contract, first saw the group perform at the club on 9 November 1961. Inspired by the group Epstein made moves to take over their management.

Note that the reproduction of the Osiris Tomb resembles the Cavern.

Temple Of Mithra

Liverpool was the location of many Templar buldings and their presence there is marked by roads with names like Temple street and Temple Court. The Liverpool area was also used as a military base by the Roman Legion long before it was even established as a borough.

Interestingly there is a cellar of a uniquely Roman style in a building on the corner of Temple Lane and Mathew Street. This cellar is identical in construction to a Roman Mithraem.Its a long half cylinder shaped room complete with arches, columns, and a curved ceiling,made entirely of bricks. We are confronted with the fact that a space identical to a Mithraem can be found on a Templar road in Liverpool.

In the 1950s the space was converted to a nightclub. Its name? The Cavern Club.

In the Avesta,the holy book of the religion of Zarathusta, Ahura-Mazda was said to have created Mithras in order to guarantee the authority of contracts and the keeping of promises.

According to Persian traditions the god Mithras was actually incarnated into the human form of the saviour expected by Zarathusta.Mithras was born of Anahita,an immaculate virgin mother.Anahita was said to have conceived the saviour from the seed of Zarathusta.

Mithras, Lord of the sky was seen as the protector of just souls and the guide of these souls to Paradise.

The Vatican was built upon the grounds previously devoted to the worship of Mithra.

Reverend Charles Biggs stated: "The disciples of Mithra formed an organized church, with a developed hierarchy. They possessed the ideas of Mediation, Atonement, and a Savior, who is human and yet divine, and not only the idea, but a doctrine of the future life. They had a Eucharist, and a Baptism, and other curious analogies might be pointed out between their system and the church of Christ (The Christian Platonists, p. 240).

Mithra was called the good shepherd, the way, the truth and the light, redeemer, savior, Messiah. He was identified with both the lion and the lamb.

The First International Congress of Mithraic Studies was held in 1971 at Manchester, England. Interesting date and location Just up the road from Liverpool.

Pool Of Life

It happens to everyone sooner or later: A certain number pops up wherever you go; an old friend you haven't seen in 20 years since high school appears the same day you're looking at her picture in a yearbook; you're singing a song and turn on the radio - and the same song is playing. Such coincidences, here described by Thomas Ropp in the Arizona Republic, March 29,1999, are examples of synchronicity. The concept is linked to the psychology of Carl Jung. Jung didn't coin the word (the simultaneousness sense of synchronicity was already in use), but he gave it a special importance in his writings.

Synchronicity is a concept, explained by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, which holds that events are meaningful coincidences if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related. During his career, Jung furnished several slightly different definitions of it. Jung variously defined synchronicity as an acausal connecting (togetherness) principle, meaningful coincidence, and acausal parallelism. He introduced the concept as early as the 1920s but gave a full statement of it only in 1951 in an Eranos lecture.

In 1952 Jung published a paper Synchronizität als ein Prinzip akausaler Zusammenhänge (Synchronicity – An Acausal Connecting Principle) in a volume which also contained a related study by the physicist and Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli. Jung believed that, just as events may be connected by causality, they may also be connected by meaning. Events connected by meaning need not have an explanation regarding causality, which does not contradict the Axiom of Causality.

In his 1962 book 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections,' Jung described the dream, "I found myself in a dark, sooty city. It was night and winter, and dark, and raining.

"I was in Liverpool.

With a number of Swiss - say half a dozen - I walked through the dark streets."The various quarters of the city were arranged radially around the square. In the center was a round pool, and in the middle of it, a small island. While everything around was obscured by rain, fog, smoke and dimly lit darkness, the little island blazed with sunlight. On it stood a single tree, a magnolia, in a sea of reddish blossoms.

It was as though the tree stood in the sunlight and was, at the same time, the source of light.

My companions commented on the abominable weather, and obviously did not see the tree. They spoke of another Swiss who was living in Liverpool and expressed surprise that he should have settled here. I was carried away by the beauty of the tree and the sunlit island, and thought, I know very well why he has settled here." Then I awoke.

"This dream represented my situation at the time. I can still see the greyish-yellow raincoats, glistening with the wetness of the rain.

"Everything was extremely unpleasant, black and opaque - just as I felt then. But I had had a vision of unearthly beauty, and that was why I was able to live at all.

Liverpool is the ‘pool of life.

The ‘liver,' according to an old view, is the seat of life - that which makes to live. It was not until the following decade however that Jung's quote found a permanent home in the city that inspired it.

In 1974, entrepreneur Peter O'Halligan purchased a warehouse on Mathew Street, just yards from the world-famous Cavern Club where The Beatles had made their name, believing it to be the exact spot Jung had envisaged in his dream and set up the Liverpool School of Language, Music, Dream, and Pun. Jung's quote about the Liverpool being the 'pool of life' remains one of the most evocative of the thousands that have been coined for Liverpool down the years, one made even more remarkable by the fact it came to him solely by way of his imagination.

Beatle Bastards

Big Bastards that’s what The Beatles were. You have to be a bastard to make it, thats a fact, and The Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

-John Lennon

William I (Old Norman: Williame I; Old English: Willelm I; c. 1028[1] – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy (as Duke William II) from 1035 onward. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son.

William was the son of the unmarried Robert I, Duke of Normandy, by Robert's mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy that plagued the first years of his rule.

Every English monarch who followed William, including Queen
