The word Oracle is derived from the Latin verb ōrāre "to speak" and correctly refers to a priest or priestess speaking predictions or prophesy, or words from the Gods.
If you were looking to pick a country with the most ties to the ancient past, you would be hard pressed to do better than Tibet.
For example, it was in a Tibetan monastery that not one but two different Russian travelers, about 100 years ago, found lost documents about the travels of 'Saint Issa' (Jesus) in his so-called "missing years." And it was in a Tibetan archive that the late ex-military man James Churchward was shown the lost language of the continent of Mu -- and ended up not only learning it from the monks, but writing multiple bestsellers on the topic in the mid 20th century.
It was in yet another Tibetan monastery that the late writer Jon Pineal found the source material for his classic work on the lost religions of Atlantis, a one-of-a-kind book still considered a metaphysical classic.
So, for a country just brimming over with ancient history and tradition, what are we to make of the fact that Tibet has more "official" Oracles within their society than any other place on the globe? The inference is that once, long ago, in the far distant past, oracles played a huge part in the day-to-day lives of the people, and the Tibetan culture still honors this fact.
One small problem, though. Many are oracles in name only. Where the title is passed down by blood or heredity, many of the younger oracles don't want the job at all, and would prefer a more modern occupation. According to a recent documentary called "THE ORACLE" shown on Vision TV, yet another "state-recognized" oracle had been ill as a child, and has never actually spoken, or predicted anything, in her life.
In fact, when recently interviewed for that same film, the Dalai Lama himself acknowledged that he sees his “official” oracles only about once a year and, while he considers their advice worth listening to, he does not always take it.
Ask yourself, is that the way real oracles would be respected?
One has to conclude that, while oracles may have been a big deal in the world hundreds or even thousands of years ago, in Tibet today there is clearly some sort of serious "disconnect" between the theory and the reality.
The irony of course is that one of the best and most tested oracles on the planet is based right here at the M.M.S.C.I. in Hamilton, Ontario. While lacking official accreditation or government acknowledgment of any kind, Douglas James Cottrell has nonetheless delivered some 25,000 "readings" to people from all over the world since he started his unusual calling in 1974.
Recent information has in fact identified Cottrell as the reincarnation of the "last oracle of Atlantis," i.e., the oracle that would have overseen the devastation of the final portion of Atlantis some 13,000 years ago; and would have tried, unsuccessfully for the most part, to relocate the people of that culture. (Those that survived migrated to Egypt, Spain, Africa, and the Americas).
That same information also identified said "last Oracle" as a major decision-maker during those last difficult days of the empire, sharing power with another Atlantean personality known as Ra-Ta, or "Ta" for short. Interestingly, this is clearly the very same personage that Edgar Cayce (who died in 1945), and who has been the topic of hundreds of books, many documentaries, an off-Broadway play, and two TV movies indicated that he, himself, was the reincarnation of. And Cayce credited his own abilities to that single specific soul experience.
It was Cottrell, please note, who said in a session in 2006 that it would 2015, the earliest, before the US would even come close to a solid economic footing again. An incredible insight for the time. And it was Cottrell who not only called the recent top in gold at 1800 via a public, in-your-face, Youtube video,(issued when gold was much less expensive), but who also insisted that riots and protests in the street by the common people were about to appear (years before the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement reared up).
For those who truly understand just how powerfully such "soul talents" can present themselves -- for example, those 5-year-old prodigies often seen on TV playing Mozart like they have been doing it for a lifetime, AND VERILY THEY HAVE BEEN! --Cottrell's credentials are perhaps as impressive as anything from the Tibetan government..........
Arguably, better.
