OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE world’s most famous lost continent comes from the work of one man – Plato. The great Greek philosopher was the singular source of all information about the ill-fated island race and whilst experts write longwinded theses about the age and position of Atlantis, nobody is entirely sure that Plato did not just invent the Atlantean people as an allegory for what happens when a civilisation over-reaches itself. Despite this, the hunt for Atlantis is as fierce as ever. Plato lived in Greece between 428 and 348 BC, and revealed the story of Atlantis in his dialogues ‘Timaeus’ and ‘Critias’. Many of Plato’s fables were fictional creations used to illustrate a point, but the history of Atlantis was repeatedly stated as fact. The dialogues recount the story of Solon, a Greek scholar who travelled to Egypt in around 600 BC to learn more about the ancient world. The Egyptians were known to have knowledge and records dating back centuries, and as Solon tried to impress his hosts with tales of Greece’s achievements, the wise old Egyptian priests put him in his place. They revealed a story about a continent and a people completely unknown to him.
Around 10,000 BC, a powerful race lived on an island in the west, beyond the ‘Pillars of Hercules’, now believed to be the land masses along the coasts of the Straits of Gibraltar. The island was the kingdom of Poseidon, the Sea God. It had a huge central mountain with a temple dedicated to the deity, and lush outlying districts, there was an elaborate system of canals to irrigate its successful farms, and a bustling central city. The island was rich in vegetables, and was home to different types of exotic animals.
The Atlanteans were originally a powerful but fair race. They were an advanced people with a prosperous trading industry, a strong and noble army and a highly educated, cultured society. Their influence reached far and wide, and they controlled large areas of Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean. Although the island left its inhabitants wanting for nothing, their taste for power and empire led to them over-extending themselves. An attempt to conquer Athens failed, and the Atlanteans retreated home to face a cataclysmic disaster. Legend says that the great god Zeus saw the corruption that had seized the island’s people, and sent down upon them an immense barrage of earthquakes, fire and water. Atlantis disappeared under the waves.
Whilst Plato’s story was well known, the renewed modern interest in Atlantis began in 1882 with the publication of Atlantis: The Antediluvian World by a former US congressman, Ignatius Donnelly. Donnelly’s book was a mixture of conjecture, misinterpreted fact and actual history. But there were some interesting ideas; he noted similarities in the science and culture of native races which apparently could never have met. Likewise, the great ancient flood, which is said to have destroyed Atlantis, is logged in ancient writings and traditions of peoples around the world.
Exactly who the Atlanteans were is unknown. Some say they were aliens, some believe they were descendants of the Lemurians, and some say they eventually travelled westward and became Native American tribes. Similarly, the actual placing of Atlantis is a subject open to argument. Many experts suggest the island was actually in the Mediterranean, and a constant stream of archaeological investigations in the area has tried to prove this.
There are theories that Sardinia in the Mediterranean, and the island of Thera in the Aegean Sea, could be Atlantis. Both had highly-evolved civilisations: the Nuraghi people on Sardinia and the Minoan culture on Thera. Both also suffered terrible natural disasters. But neither of these islands are westwards of the Straits of Gibraltar, so to accept them is to doubt Plato’s geography. Also, the advanced races on these islands disappeared about 900 years before Plato – he stated that Atlantis became extinct 9,000 years before him.
Other experts say Atlantis was in the middle of the Atlantic, and all that is left of the island are its mountains, the peaks of which show through above the waves. These are now believed by many to be the Azore islands. There is also evidence to suggest a huge comet or asteroid crashed into the southwest Atlantic Ocean many thousands of years ago and two 23,000-feet-deep holes have been identified on the seabed close to Puerto Rico. Experts believe the falling rock that caused them would have created massive natural movements, enough to destroy any mid-Atlantic islands.
THE BERMUDA, Or Devil’s, Triangle is an area of ocean found off the southeastern tip of the United States. It is a region of water indelibly connected with mysterious vessel disappearances; the popular perception is that countless boats and planes have been inexplicably lost there. The triangle extends from Bermuda to Miami and then to the Puerto Rico, and is said to contain a supernatural secret. Some high profile disappearances have occurred there, and the notion of its existence has been turned into a modern myth in the media. Even the term ‘Bermuda Triangle’ was coined in a fictional publication. But does the sea here really house some unknown power that pulls sea and airmen to their doom, or is this mystery based mainly on imagination?
The most famous loss in the triangle is known as the mystery of Flight 19, and happened on 5th December 1945. A squadron of five US Navy Avenger torpedo bombers set off from their base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to conduct a practice mission over the island of Bimini. The flight contained 14 men, all of them students apart from the commander, Lt Charles Taylor. About an hour and a half after the mission began, radio operators received a signal from Taylor saying his compasses were not working, but he believed he was over the Florida Keys. He was advised to fly north which would bring him back to the mainland. In fact, he was over the Bahamas, and his attempts to head north and northeast merely took him further away from solid ground. A terrible storm that day hampered communications and it seems Taylor rejected a suggestion to pass control of the squadron to one of the other pilots.
Radio contact was entirely lost and search craft were dispatched to try and find the flight to guide them back in. Of the three planes used to rescue Flight 19, one lost communications itself because of an iced over aerial, one was just unsuccessful whilst another seemed to explode shortly after takeoff. Flight 19 itself has never been found, but it is assumed that they ditched into the raging sea when their fuel ran out, with the heavy planes rapidly sinking to the ocean
floor. The US Navy recorded that the disaster was caused by Taylor’s confusion, but an appeal by his family had this overturned, and a verdict of ‘causes or reasons unknown’ was given. However, Flight 19 is not the only high profile official loss in the area, and the USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have also disappeared without trace.
The legend of Flight 19 was cemented by its inclusion in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie. Indeed, some theories state that visiting UFO craft enter an underwater base in the Bermuda area, and they have been the cause of the disappearances. Other fantastical ideas such as technologies from Atlantis or evil marine creatures have also been considered. Some people even suggest the triangle is the site of a gateway into another dimension. Strange oceanographic features such as huge clouds ofmethane gas escaping from the seabed have also been blamed for the disappearances.
In reality, the triangle does have one natural quality which may contribute to the losses. Unlike everywhere else in the world – apart from the Dragon’s Triangle near Japan – compasses point to true north rather than magnetic north. This may be a contributing factor to the triangle’s legend, but the US Coastguard officially believes the losses are caused by a mixture of environmental and man-made mistakes. This region is used by a large amount of ocean and air traffic, much of which is navigated by inexperienced pleasure-seekers. A strong Gulf Stream and unpredictable weather conditions not only cause vessels to run into trouble, but also remove many traces of them once they have been wrecked.
It is interesting also to note that the coastguard does not view the area as having a particularly high incidence of accidents. One researcher examined many historic losses in the triangle. He came to the conclusion that rumours and elaboration had clouded the real, understandable, causes behind the events. Similarly, the international insurers, Lloyd’s of London, have records that demonstrate that this region near Bermuda is no more treacherous than any other waterway. However, the myth of the Bermuda Triangle is so strong it will live on as long as fictional writers use it as a site of mysterious happenings.
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE the earth has a natural source of energy that manifests itself as a magnetic field or electrical current. This unseen power is thought to have the ability to affect human bodily conditions and create biochemical reactions when people are near a prime spot of Earth Energy. Particularly potent areas are known as vortices, and many enthusiasts are of the opinion that these points help provide Man with rejuvenating or beneficial energy. As a sign of proof, they point to the idea that ancient races were more in tune with natural powers, and built important structures on sites emanating large amounts of energy. They claim Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid at Giza and Nazca are all points of strong natural forces.
As the idea of quantifiable, geophysical Earth power or natural energy has developed, the subject of ley-lines has very much caught the public’s imagination. Although leys have significance based on historical and archaeological fact, the theory of Earth Energy was popularised by New Age philosophies. Many enthusiasts have examined the subject with a scientific approach, despite it originating alongside many of the ‘hippy’ theories of the 1960s and 70s. Certainly, many people do connect Earth Energy with ley-lines and mystical qualities, but there is also some scientific substance to the idea.
Actual hard evidence is scarce, despite enthusiasts’ opinions. Dowsers suggest they can pick up strong sources of energy at many sacred sites, but that is a fact only as believable as dowsing itself. Earth Energy
researchers often suggest that power centres are all areas heavily charged with negative ions, and there is an unusual state of electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic flux. They term the whole phenomenon ‘geophysical anomalies’, and whilst it seems superficially impressive, the technological community is less convinced. Although many scientists are happy to entertain the possibility of untapped natural energy sources, they do not agree that many of these qualities attributed to Earth Energy have yet been proven.
Abraxas was an ancient religious movement prominent during the first few centuries of the common era that was associated with Gnosticism and which affected Judaism, Christianity, and contemporaneous paganism. Its central teaching was that this world is the creation of an evil deity who traps human spirits in the physical realm; our true home is the absolute spirit (the pleroma), to which we should seek to return by rejecting the pleasures of the flesh.
Two distinct types of entities, aeons and archons, are associated with Gnosticism. The aeons are higher spiritual beings who reside in the pleroma. The archons are created by the evil demiurge (a subordinate deity and creator of the material world); they are the rulers who govern this world and act as guardians, preventing the sparks of light (i.e., the divine essence of individual human beings) from returning to the pleroma.
Abraxas appears to have originally referred to the Great Unknown, out of which the aeons and the pleroma itself emerged. In later Cabalistic thought, however, Abraxas became the designation of the chief aeon. Some ancient writers portrayed Abraxas as a demon or archon who ruled other archons. Abraxas was also associated with magic and is said to be the source of the familiar term abracadabra.

Two accounts appear in the Old Testament that involve Abraham, the first patriarch of the people of Israel, and angels. The first recounts Abraham’s visitation by three angels at Mamre, the second is the angel who prevents Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac.
Chapter 18 of Genesis constitutes one of the most dramatic theophanies reported in the Bible, in which God, in the accompaniment of angels comes unexpected as the dinner guest of Abraham at Mamre.
It is reported that while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent, “Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.” Then, he offered them some water to refresh themselves, and something to eat, and while they were eating under a tree, they asked him where was his wife Sarah, and said, “I will surely return to you about this time nest year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”
Abraham does not recognize God by the oaks of Mamre until the promise of a son is made. Only at that point does Abraham suspect that his visitors are heaven sent.
The relationship that exists among the three men and God is confusing, because although it is God who appears, it is reported in the first verse that Abraham sees three men. Also, in some verses all three men speak, whereas in others only God speaks.
Tradition is divided regarding this point. The three angels appear as a triple manifestation of God, and are thus identified by Christians as the Old Testament trinity. Other interpretations consider God to be only one of the three men.
The prediction of the birth of Sarah’s son in nine months represents the object of the visit, and this incident incorporates the affirmation of God’s omnipotence.
In chapter 22 of Genesis, it is reported that when the Lord tempted Abraham by ordering him to sacrifice his son, it was an angel who came to hold his hand :
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
Then, after Abraham sacrificed a ram instead of his son, the angel of the Lord spoke to him again, and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
The story of the brutal trial of Abraham’s faith has been depicted as a literary masterpiece, and it marks the Abraham cycle of stories. It has aroused the theological interests of authors such as Kierkegaard, who considered it a classic parable on the radical meaning of faith.
Abraham, who had to cut himself off from his past when he left his homeland, is now tested and summoned to give up his entire future, by giving up the child of his old age. As a matter of fact, the fulfillment of God’s promise depends on Isaac’s life. Abraham’s fear of God is revealed in his obedience, although this could result in his son’s death.

Clixsense.com is known a GPTC site. For those of you that have no idea what this means, it refers to a get paid to click site. If you’re a long time subscriber of my blog, you’re sort of familiar with get paid sites. The premise is pretty straight forward. You get paid for some type of action. Despite what some of the naysayers may say, it can be a great way to make money. You just need to follow some basic tips which will help you avoid losing money or getting spammed which is often the common complaints. But I digress, this is a review about Clixsense.com, so let’s get into it.
So How Does Clixsense.com Work?
Uhh, you basically get paid to click on ads. Ain’t no more to it. It works very much like You Data. Advertisers want you to view their websites or ads and instead of paying a middleman like a magazine, TV or newspaper, they pay you directly for your attention. Makes "cents" to me, but it may not to you. So here’s a little something something I whipped up walking you through a typical day of clicking ads on Clixsense.com
How Much Can You Earn?
Only about .01 – .02 cents per click. Ouch! I know what you’re saying. "Evan What the hell am I suppose to do with .01 cent?" Well a better question is, how much are you getting paid for clicking on ads and searching for work at home jobs right now? I’m not Ms. Cleo, but I’m going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. My crystal ball tells me you’re currently earning a big fat nada, zilch, 0 clicking on ads and searching for work at home jobs! Am I right? Damn I’m good.
But seriously, if you’re fine with not making money for something you already do, then you should stop reading this article. We’ll wait…… For the rest of you, this is just another example of the mantra I’m always preaching on this blog. If you’re involved in multiple streams of income, (no matter how small they are) it can add up to decent money. Chances are you won’t be able to support your family on Clixsense earnings alone. But if you couple it with multiple opportunities such as surveys, get paid to try offers, get paid to read emails, a traditional work at home job, etc. Guess what? You’re starting to make some real money now. See my logic? That’s how I got started and eventually lead me to my career as an affiliate marketer earning 5 figure per month. But I wasn’t too proud to crawl first before I learned to run. So think about that and let it marinate in your mind before laughing off such opportunities.
2 Ways To Earn More Money With Clixsense.
1. Refer Other People.
It should come as no surprise to you that Clixsense (like nearly ever company) has an affiliate program aka a referral program. This is a great way to make some decent income in addition to your own effort. After all, you’re probably spending a lot of time on sites that have other people looking for legit work at home opportunities (i.e. Such as the site you’re on now. ). So how great would it be to get paid for telling folks about clixsense using the free website they provide you like this one: http://www.clixsense.com/?3323532 Depending on your membership status Free or Premium, you’ll be able to earn .01 or .10 per new referral. You can also receive $2.00 if your referral upgrades to a Premium account.
Let’s take a look at an example of how much you can make if you were only able to refer 5 people & only 3 of them upgraded to premium.
As you can see, this can add up nicely for people that are willing to work hard and share this great opportunity with others.
2. Become A Premium Member.
Clixsense offers an OPTIONAL premium membership which cost only $10 per year (at the time of this article was written). Premium memberships allow you to earn even more because you receive an additional $1.00 per person on all the people your referrals introduce to Clixsense and this is 5 levels deep. You also get paid 10% of your first level’s ad clicking activity which is a nice residual income depending on how many people you refer.
The other benefit of being a premium member is that you get way more ads to click which obviously makes you more money. As a free member I only saw 5-10 ads per day. As a premium member it jumped up to a few hundred. But that will vary depending on the number of advertisers they have and how many people are clicking the ads. Either way, when I did the math, it just added up and why I jumped on this level of membership without hesitation. With that said, I’ve already made my premium membership back and then some as you could see in the video.
For some people, becoming a premium member is out of the question because you may not have the $10 to upgrade, are skeptical or just don’t like the idea of investing money in an opportunity. That’s fine, just stick with the free member status. Clixsense totally sympathizes with these concerns and allows free members to use the money they earn to upgrade to a premium member status. Granted, it will take a long time to earn the $10 needed to upgrade. But at least they give you the option. At the end of the day becoming a premium member has been a great strategy for me. But it doesn’t mean you need to follow my lead. Just do what’s best for your situation.
When & How Do You Get paid?
Payments are disbursed by check and mailed to the postal address on your profile on or before the 10th day of each month for earnings of the prior month provided that your account balance has reached the minimum payout level of $10 (you may select a higher minimum payout if desired). If your account balance is less than $10 (or the minimum payout you selected), earnings will carry forward until such month as you have met the minimum check requirement.
Is this opportunity limited to the U.S.?
Nope! It appears to be open to all countries! Isn’t that nice for a change? It always kills me when I introduce a great opportunity and I have to tell my international supporters that it’s not in their area. So applaud Clixsense for this open door policy.
The Cons
1. Check payments! I hate these things with a passion because it requires that I get off my lazy arse and head to the ATM or bank teller. This goes against my whole anti-social and hermit nature. I would love to see a paypal or direct deposit option but money is money.
2. Check Processing fee! They deduct a $3 check processing fee. I guess it’s a necessary evil so they can pay people from all different countries. But that $3 can hurt if you only made a few bucks. Let’s hope you follow my lead and make the big bucks!
3. $10 minimum payout. I would really prefer a non-existent minimum payout amount like You Data offers or an extremely low amount such as $2. But considering the check processing fee, I guess it’s not a viable option.
4. Fewer Ads for Free Members. It comes as no surprise that free members don’t get access to as many of the paid click ads. But that’s sort of expected because it’s obviously in Clixsense’s best interest to have you upgrade. After all they are trying to make money here. So I can’t really hate on them for it. But I’m sure it’s something someone will moan and groan about.
Ultimately none of these complaints are deal breakers for me. Despite them I was able to make some money. But these cons may be too much for you. So at least now you know what to expect and make the best decision for you.
The Final Word
In my humble opinion Clixsense.com is not a scam! Is it perfect? No. But I don’t know one company that is. What I do know is that I’ve been paid for clicking ads and referring people to their site. So at the very least I know Clixsense pays and are the real deal. If what you’ve read about the company sounds good thus far, then I encourage you to Join Clixsense by clicking here. For that matter you may want to look into Hits4Pay.com, YouData.com, NeoBux.com, MySurvey.com & FusionCash.com as well, since they are also get paid sites.
If this opportunity isn’t your cup of tea and you prefer a "real" work at home job, then visit my work at home companies or work at home guide page. Either way your boy has you covered. Just pick the opportunities that are right for you.
Sites like Clixsense.com & YouData.com have made me a get paid to click whore. I experienced the same thing when I discovered surveys. Now I’m constantly on the look out for more GPTC sites. Trust me they’re are too many out there to count. Over the next few weeks I’m only going to cover the best of the best. I know the temptation is going to be that you want to sign up for every single GPTC site you find. Don’t do it to yourself! They’re not all created equal. As always do your research following the easy steps of my scam video listed here. Because that’s exactly what I’ll be doing when one of you asks me if a certain GPTC site is a scam. (Wink, Wink)
So what are your thoughts about GPTC & get paid sites in general? I know people have a love hate relationship with them because some of them are really just spam farms or don’t pay. But let me know what you think of Clixsense or any other GPTC sites?
Nama Abdiel pertama kali disebutkan dalam Alkitab (Pertama Tawarikh), mana Abdiel merupakan penduduk fana dan Gilead. Namun, setelah itu dalam sejarah dan sastra, Abdiel (berarti "hamba Tuhan") adalah malaikat. Referensi pertama Abdiel sebagai malaikat terjadi dalam The Book of Angel Raziel, sebuah karya yang ditulis dalam bahasa Ibrani rabbi selama Abad Pertengahan. Cerita yang paling lengkap tentang Abdiel, dan juga, muncul di Paradise Lost, puisi epik oleh John Milton, yang menceritakan kisah pemberontakan setan terhadap Allah. Selama pemberontakan, Abdiel adalah malaikat satu-satunya yang tetap setia kepada Allah dan menolak untuk memberontak. Setan menegaskan bahwa ia dan para pengikutnya benar-benar dimaksudkan untuk menguasai Surga, tetapi Abdiel berpendapat bahwa Setan harus kurang kuat dari Allah, karena Allah menciptakannya. Setan menjawab bahwa ini hanyalah satu lagi kebohongan dari Bapak Kebohongan. Abdiel tidak percaya ini, kemudian memaksa para malaikat lain yang memberontak untuk keluar dari surga, dan menyerang Setan sendiri dengan "Tebasan Pedang Perkasa."
Abdiel juga disebutkan dalam The Revolt of the Angels, oleh Anatole Prancis, meskipun ada ia dikenal dengan nama Arcade.
