Guest ANDREW BARTZIS filmed a series of 20 videos at Mt. Shasta, reading our Galactic History directly from the Akashic records.  I was there to interview him during this time on the day of the Summer Solstice and "Super Full Moon" which followed. There are 20 half-hour videos.

I personally transcribed all 20 videos, adding hyperlinks, pictures and commentary. The 21st transcript is 11 pages of my own personal bio and commentary on the series and of the times we're in now. If you haven't seen the videos,or read the transcripts, you're in for a treat.

But interestingly enough, it might simultaneously work to make them more creative.
