Message to you from: an Oracle.

"Know thyself - and thou shall know all the mysteries of the gods and of the universe."

Those words are inscribed in gold letters over the portico of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

An oracle: is a person, place or thing generally regarded as a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion. It is often considered to be an infallible authority on topics that are spiritual, moral, ethical, or philosophical in nature. An Oracle can also be taken as a prediction of future events, usually spoken by a deity through the use of an avatar.

In the ancient world, many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracular wisdom, such as in Africa. The best known of course is the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in Greece.

In the ancient world, many sites gained a reputation for the dispensing of oracular wisdom. We are known for giving truthful, but sometimes ambiguous and hidden answers.

Bandiagara: is in central Mali (near Mopti) in West Africa, former home of the Tellem Klan/Tribe and now home to the Dogons.

As I sit atop the Bandiagara Cliffs and gaze out over the vast land, my thought and spirit become intertwined with the thoughts and spirits of my 'ansestors.' It is then that I remember that deep within my subconcious lies many answers to the questions of life.

As much as I dis-like Rove: this a great quote.

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing."

Karl Rove, quoted in the "Daily Texan," March 19, 2001
