Marvelous Old WorldIn this 1st of a 2 part exploration of Seattle's early years (mid-1800's to early-1900's)--analyzing historic photographic and written records along side population statistics and infrastructure development--Marvelous Old World asks the following:
How were so many magnificent and sophisticated masonry buildings designed, engineered, and constructed in so little time, in such remote locations, with so few people and resources at hand?
Why did the business districts in Seattle, Ellensburg, and Spokane all burn down just months apart in the pivotal year that Washington gained statehood--1889?
Why are we always told that the massively destructive city infernos which plagued the U.S. in the late 1800's & early 1900's were the result of shoddy wood construction prior to building codes, when photographs clearly show block after block of incinerated brick and stone ruins--themselves suggesting an advanced urban architecture?
Why is it that the further back you go in Seattle's history, the more beautiful and marvelous the buildings and city-scape appears to be?
(Apologia: This was recorded on a laptop while I was snowed in a hotel room during a construction project in Colorado. So, the sound quality is not the best, and I edited out long silences and a lot of "ums" as I learn to be better at this craft!)

Hat's off to Sean Hibbeler for a bang up job piecing this film together from a motley collection of disparate interviews and personalities. It wasn't an easy task for someone relatively new to the sprawling topic of the Old World in America.
For myself, I almost cancelled my interview because of the pain I was in at the time, right before a major surgery for pancreatic cancer -- you can see it in my eyes. But Hibbeler was committed and persistent, and in the end I was happy to oblige. (How serendipitous that I'm sending this clip out on my last day of chemo!)
I'm honored to have been a small part of this epic film project, and more than ready to stick around for a while longer to see how it all unfolds. (Did somebody mention Part 2...?!)

I've been told I can write pretty good.
And but so....I am overjoyed to share the great news that, as of my most recent blood test and CT scan, no presence of cancer is detected in my body. I still have more chemotherapy to endure, but the light at the end of the tunnel is very bright! Thank you all so much all of the your love and support that you've sent my way since I got my diagnosis in September. I have a lot of projects cooking for this channel, and it will take some time getting fully back in the flow. But there is so much to look forward to, even as I continue to rest and recover and reflect in gratitude.
For now, please enjoy a remix of Old World Electric Architecture presentations that I revisited to remind myself of what got me so excited to start this endeavor in the first place. Also, Terrence Howard's special contribution is bringing Walter Russell to a mass audience, but the OG's deserve all the credit. & I'm still one of the new kids on the block.

MatthewHowdie Mickoski & Me: The World Fair Mysteries...& my Cancer Update.Marvelous Old World2024-03-03 | Having been sidelined from podcasting about Old World Architecture due to pancreatic cancer, imagine my surprise when Howdie Mickoski reached out to me days before my scheduled Whipple surgery! What else could I do but make time to talk to him about the mysteries of The World Fairs, and use this opportunity to update all of you wonderful people about my situation.
To all of you who have reached out sending love, prayers, ideas, support....thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has meant everything to me, and every message received has put more wind into my sails. I have forged real friendships through this medium and through this process--which has been such a gift all on its own. I will recover from the surgery (and pending final chemo treatments) in good time. In the meanwhile, my research and my thoughts about all of this Old World stuff continue to percolate. There is so much more to come! Take care of yourselves.

The events that have been unfolding in Lahaina since a devastating and mysterious inferno swept across the city--leaving it in ruin and with many of the dead still unaccounted for--bear striking similarities to these earlier conflagrations. With the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 as the focal point, this video compares events in Maui with what took place on the Mainland between 100 to 150 years ago--most of which never made it into our history books.

What happened to the builders? What else was going on in Chicago at this time, and in other Old World cities across this new nation? Critically, questions of Who, How, and Why can be explored with wonder and intellectual freedom, knowing first and foremost that the historical narrative we have been taught is an obvious contrivance!

Musical Score: Frédéric Chopin's Piano Nocturnin in Eb minor Artwork by: fractalfantasia.com/interdimensional-fractal-life-inside-the-tesseract-4k-wallpaper/darkElectric Architecture of the Old WorldMarvelous Old World2023-02-22 | Beyond the AD/DC wars of the late 1800's with arch-nemesis Thomas Edison over which current to run through wires newly powering cities and World Fairs alike, Nikola Tesla was determined to demonstrate the capacity to transmit wireless electricity freely by way of his copper coiled towers, connecting a circuit between heaven and earth, between sky and ground, drawing energy from the extant and omnipresent aether. The question I am raising is: Did the ancients and ancestors know the secrets of the electric universe and weave into the fabric of their architecture--sacred and otherwise--this gnosis, rooted as it is in teachings of the esoteric and alchemical, the principles of principals and sages? Did advanced, old world buildings made of charge producing, piezoelectric stone shaped into sacred geometric, self-similar fractal forms, and gilded with charge conducting precious metals on rooftops, domes and spires--their towers, peaks, bells, and organs still intact--vibrate with life, lifting the spirit and consciousness within its occupants while projecting outwardly through cymatic portals of stone and prismatic leaded glass (itself a silica cousin of quartz) as soundwaves rippling ever outward into the air, as light stirs up the aether, illuminating a path homeward to the divine? And if so then we, as spiritual beings having a physical experience, belong to this architecture, imbued as it is within the boundless limits of natural law, perhaps even more than it belongs to us.

As Keith so eloquently frames it, the hard problem is materialism! But by returning western as well as eastern esotericism, direct personal experience, and a classical approach to the sciences based upon observation and experimentation, there remains an illuminated path through the morass of modernity.

A few months later, Washington Territory gained its statehood. Are these events somehow related, or just a quirky coincidence of errant glue pots, strong winds, and stubbornly low water pressure? Also, we have always been told that the infernos which plagued U.S. cities in the late 1800's were the unfortunate result of pre-fire code, ramshackle wood construction. Yet photographic evidence clearly show block after block of incinerated brick and stone ruins--themselves suggesting an exquisite and advanced urban architecture from an earlier forgotten time in America's past!

It stands to reason that a conscious act must begin with consciousness.
It would follow, then, that the architecture of an age is a direct manifestation of the consciousness of the age.

Sprawl Photo from https://consumerenergyalliance.org/20...Great Deception Podcast 1: Old World Architecture w/ Matthew Smith & Mat TerrillionMarvelous Old World2022-12-06 | I recently heard a quote that struck a chord with me: “The truth must be spoken.” For the past several years I have been closely following the ever expanding debate around the mystery old world architecture. Thoroughly captivated, I began conducting my own independent research from the perspective of an architect and builder. Now I feel I have some unique contributions which must, for the sake of truth, be spoken. Here I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Mat Terrillion on his Great Deception Podcast to discuss these issues and more!
From Mat's Intro: "I had the honor of speaking with Matthew Smith, master architect of yurt designs. Matthew hit straight in my heart when he wanted to talk 1893 Chicago World Fair and the book ‘Spectacle in the White City’. From there it lead us to a discussion on free energy, etheric & telluric, and its role in architecture in buildings like cathedrals and star forts. Matthew showed us the 1898 Uriah Cummings book ‘American Cement’ and shared his experience with American Rock Cement in the Rosendale, NY caves. We discuss the Smithsonian Castle and its architect Adolph Cluss, a friend of Karl Marx. We wrap up discussing the systematic destruction of infrastructure in the 1800s and Matthew shows us some amazing images from the book ‘Braun/Hogenberg, Cities of the World – Complete Edition of the Colour Plates 1572-1617’ and so much more.”

Follow my personal meanderings and homestead projects at www.MatthewRSmith.artGreat Deception Podcast 2: Electric Architecture of the Old World w/ Matthew Smith & Mat TerrillionMarvelous Old World2022-12-05 | Have you ever wondered why “they don’t make buildings like they used to”, why our modern built environment is so soul sucking, and why Science–which we are now told works by consensus–gets so many things wrong? For years, I have been researching both Old World architecture and Electric Universe Theory in search of answers. I’ve long been convinced that to understand the Old World, we must look beyond the relativism of modern day physics and see reality through the eyes of humans who understood that the aether is real and that science and spirituality are two sides of a coin. It is now my contention that Old World Architecture and Electric Universe Theory go hand in glove. In this three hour interview with Mat Terrillion's Great Deception Podcast, I attempt to make this case, establishing the truth that an enlightened architecture must invariably come from an enlightened consciousness.
From Mat's intro: "We start off talking the Seattle, Ellensburg, and Spokane fires of the late 1880’s. One historian told Matthew the bricks melted like candle wax. Matthew then presents a great slideshow on electric architecture. Sacred geometry, Energy, Toroidal Fields, Dialectic/Magnetic, the unrooted human, magnetism, Birkeland Currents, Ferrocells, the human/cathedral/sacred geometric connection, lichtenberg patterns, rose windows, flower of life, organs, cymatics and much more!”
