Hieronimus & Co. In The News

Santa Paul’s "Nice and Awesome" List

My friend and favorite Santa Claus, Brother Paul H. Trattner, has returned to spirit, but, as Benjamin Franklin said, he will "appear once more in a new and more elegant edition revised and corrected by the author." Over 40 years ago Santa Paul was the best student I ever had at the AUM Esoteric Study center, and he eventually outpaced me and everyone else in his mastery of the occult sciences, mystical arts and religious metaphysics. In fact, he was the lone student in AUM’s history to pass the rigorous course outline to earn certificates in all three sections of our curriculum. Read more.

Laura E. Cortner interviewed

Akasha Album and Cover Art
Elevate the Consciousness

 Akasha, 1971, record album cover, colored pencil and pen and ink, 22½" x 38"

After I completed the Woodstock Bus and the Apocalypse mural at Johns Hopkins University, Bob Grimm asked me to design the album cover for his magnum opus "Akasha". This is a magnificent album! We’ll post some audio samples of it shortly. "Akasha" elevates the consciousness of the listeners through a deliberate use of words and sounds. Learn more at kbsound@hvc.rr.com. Read more.


Recently, we found a copy of a 1971 interview our friend Bob Grimm did with EXTRA magazine, where he discussed his new awareness gained through a daily meditation habit.

Bob commissioned Dr. Bob Hieronimus to cover his VW van in symbols and turn it into a “magic bus.” Informed by that new understanding and shifts in consciousness brought on by daily meditation, they both knew that a rolling billboard of symbols would reach people with messages of peace, love, and oneness without ever needing words.

Why recreate the Woodstock LIGHT
VW Bus Today?

Mission Statement from Artist Bob Hieronimus
on His Motivation to Resurrect this Talisman

Musician Bob Grimm on top of LIGHT at Woodstock

The Woodstock LIGHT Bus was deliberately created by a trained occultist in 1968 to be a true magical talisman for the dawning of the Aquarian Age. A talisman is defined as an object that stores and radiates a magical energy specifically to create change. The VW LIGHT bus became a symbol of Woodstock, which in turn symbolized the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and 70s and the optimism that this peaceful gathering generated as an example of human potential. It is being recreated in 2018 because America has lost its compass. The resurrection of the Woodstock LIGHT Bus in 2018 is intended to once again inspire all Earth People to see themselves as ONE: One People On One Planet. Today, a corporate oligarchy has assumed near-complete suppression of the enlightened representative democracy designed by our ancestors. While there are many factors to explain on a material level how we got here, from an occultist's perspective, one solution is to focus on the power of symbols to create change on a subconscious level. Join our adventure to "find the LIGHT" and recreate this rolling symbol of harmonic cooperation -- because as we'll find in the end, the journey itself is the purpose of the search.

Read Dr. Bob Hieronimus' full mission statement.

Dr. Bob Hieronimus Interviewed About
Baseball Hall of Famer Leon Day

Dr. Bob Hieronimus was interviewed for the new book The Call to the Hall: When Baseball's Highest Honor Came to 31 Legends of the Sport by Kevin Warneke and David Ogden. He shared the story of his friendship with baseball legend Leon Day and the dramatic hospital-bed celebration of his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1995.

Tribute to Bob Balser,
Animation Director of
the Beatles Yellow Submarine

In January of 2016 we lost a dear friend who was instrumental in one of the biggest projects of my life. This long posting is an overdue tribute to Bob Balser, a terrific artist and a superior human being, and the key person to my success in tracking down the history of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. This film has occupied me since 1968, but it was not until 1991 when I met Bob Balser that I really began to understand it. Here's how that all came about.


21st Century Radio's
Upcoming World Exclusive
on the Great Pyramid

From the very beginning of 21st Century Radio in January of 1988 we have focused on the mysterious Great Pyramid in Egypt, why it was built, what is was used for, and especially how it was created. This Spring 2018 we continue a long tradition of interviewing scientists who challenge the traditional authority of Egyptologists as we invite several innovators and old friends in this field. Not only have they succeeded in proving how these megaliths were built, but they are also updating and translating these findings to the future. We are excited to present to our listeners the plans to use these same ancient building technologies to build similar structures for the space stations on the moon and Mars. Read more.

Dr. Bob Interviews Dr. Zoh
on White Spirit Animals

On October 15, 2017, Dr. Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D., interviewed his wife and 21st Century Radio® co-host Dr. Zohara Hieronimus, D.H.L., about her new book, White Spirit Animals: Prophets of Change, exploring shamanism, trans-species telepathy, and the animal wisdom urging us to restore an ethos of care to human society. Listen to the full interview or read the full transcript.


White Spirit Animals,
Dr. Zohara's New Book,
Comes Out October 17

Dr. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus, D.H.L., has a new book coming out this month. It's called White Spirit Animals: Prophets of Change and explores shamanism and trans-species telepathy. Combining sacred elder lore, science, and her own telepathic dreams, Dr. Zoh looks at the special role played by White Spirit Animals in spiritual traditions and prophecy around the globe, where they are seen as guardians of animal wisdom, each with a special purpose and gift. The ethos of care has been lost from human society in general, and these terrestrial mammals urge us to restore it. Her recent article in The MOON Magazine goes into more depth about the enduring importance of this wisdom, especially today.

Unveiling the Secret Messages
from our American Goddess

Co-authors Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D. and Laura E. Cortner will unveil the messages from our American Goddess in this presentation on their new book, The Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World. Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 7:00 PM, at the Center for Spiritual Living in Reisterstown. Considering the Statue of Liberty, the iconic symbol of America, as a divine female, confident in her own power, will help you understand the intentions of our founding fathers and mothers when they chose this image to rally the revolution. Hieronimus and Cortner will break down the symbolism of America's "Mom," showing how we are all inseparable from the divine and from each other. From the goddess energy coursing through American history to the major influence of Native American philosophy on our concepts of "liberty," the Statue of Liberty inspires activism and asks "Where are your women?"

Hosted by the Baltimore Friends of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, location: 362 Main Street, Reisterstown, MD 21136. Suggested donation $7.00.

The Solar Eclipse and the President:
Headed for a Divorce from the USA

NASA Eclipse Map

On August 13, 2017, Dr. Zohara M. Hieronimus D.H.L. interviewed world-renowned astrologer Rosemary Clark about the larger astrological influences affecting the 45th President, with a particular emphasis on the solar eclipse that took place on August 21, 2017. She also addressed the hate rally of white supremacists described as "Unite the Right" under the pretense of opposing the removal of a Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee that took place on August 12, 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia where Clark lives. That day ended in the death of three people and the injury of many that went unreported as a result of the violence perpetrated by gun-toting, club-swinging white supremacists. Their chants of anti-Semitism, racism, and threats of a neo-Nazi / KKK uprising in America were not emphatically decried by the President, but instead they were given a powerful boost by his efforts to blame a few counter-protestors for resisting the intentional violence used by the white nationalists -- whom Trump endorsed by his failure to emphatically condemn. Read the full transcript.


Mural by Dr. Bob Hieronimus called "A Little Help From Our Friends" featured on the front page of the Baltimore Sun on July 19, 2017. Themes from "A Little Help From our Friends" are cooperation and compassion and the power of neighborhoods. It was designed on commission for the communitiy mediation and arbitration facility known as the Safe and Smart Center in Waverly in 1996 (restored in 2008). Gigantic portraits of some of the "Friends" and inspirations for peace seen in this photo include, left to right, environmental pioneer Rachel Carson, reggae prophet Bob Marley, Nobel poet Bob Dylan, and peaceful resistance pioneer Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Read the article or read more about the mural.


The Baltimore Sun featured an article about the search for the lost Light Bus in its Sunday, July 9, 2017 paper:

[Dr. Bob] Hieronimus, an Owings Mills artist and expert in esoteric subjects, has teamed up with a research group out of the State University of New York Maritime College and a documentary film producer to locate what remains of his creation [the Light Bus] and bring its message of “higher consciousness” back in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the festival that made it famous.

The Story of "Light,"
the famous "Woodstock Bus"

The Light Bus, a 1963 Kombi VW painted by Dr. Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D. and commissioned by Bob Grimm for his band Light to ride on tour, went to Woodstock and became part of the festival's iconography. It captured the mood and aspirations of a generation searching for its own identity and place, and appeared on the Woodstock Album inner sleeve. Photos of it have been featured in numerous articles and retrospectives about Woodstock, but where is the bus itself?

"The original bus, unfortunately, was last seen partially being held together by the paint job," says Hieronimus. "Its eventual demise is a bit of mystery to us in this day and age. It wasn't my bus, after all. I painted it on commission for Bob Grimm, who ... headed to England to tour with the Four Seasons ... today neither one of us can remember what eventually happened to the bus in the end. But we are determined to locate what's left of it and recreate it for Woodstock's 50th anniversary in August 2019."

Many people are dressing up as Lady Liberty in protests around the world, and dozens of articles and blogs in the past few days are illustrated with pictures of the Statue of Liberty in distress. And it’s no wonder our American Goddess is suddenly popular again – she’s the obvious choice when symbolically opposing Mr. Trump’s war of hatred on immigrants. Read more.

Tonight's show on January 22, 2017 is the first one we’ve produced under the new empire. We have a new president. In hour one our guests are two wisdom keepers from the Iroquois tradition, husband and wife team Mohawk Doug George Kanentiio and Oneida Joanne Shenandoah, whom we are asking for guidance from both their prophecies for the future and their ancient past. Second hour, our international correspondent Joe Honick will review the return to 1930s-style nationalism displayed in the inauguration speech, and interference from the Russians in the election. While the majority of Americans do not support this new president, he has even less support around the planet. This solidarity AGAINST what he stands for was clearly demonstrated on both Friday and Saturday. Read more.

Existence is a Continuum,
Dr. Zohara Writes

Dr. Zohara Hieronimus' article Existence is a Continuum appears in the Winter 2016 issue of Species Link Journal. She writes:

"Animals, like indigenous tribal people, view existence and non-existence as a continuum. Animals, like many in the human population, are more concerned about the entire Earth and its ecosystems than themselves specifically. For instance, Bear, Wolf, Lion, Elephant, Whale, and Bison are all apex animals in their ecosystems. If any of them become extinct, everything under these capstone species dis­assembles. Their message to us, as I write about in my upcoming book on the White Spirit Animals, is 'to save as many of us as you can.'" Read the full article.

Thanks to them we had close to a hundred people turn out and enjoy birthday cake and baseball stories and snacks and participate in our silent auction and sales table where we raised even more money for the West Baltimore youth baseball leagues. Keeping alive the integrity and grit and resilience of the old Negro Baseball Leagues and inspiring that sportsmanship in a new generation. More information at LeonDayFoundation.org.

Shirley Maclaine Interview on
The Secret Life of Lady Liberty

One of the best interviews about The Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World we’ve done was with Shirley Maclaine on Independent Expression Radio. She says, "Robert Hieronimus has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. I have been especially interested in reading his doctoral stuff on The Historic Analysis of the Reverse of the American Great Seal and his research on America’s 'secret destiny.' But what I want to talk about today on this Fourth of July is The Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World. (I really enjoyed it very much.) This is going to be an interesting book. Let’s say a prayer for the Statue of Liberty and what it means to solve all these problems." Listen to the interview

Robert M. Knight and Maryanne Bilham!

Robert M. Knight, Dr. Bob Hieronimus, and Maryanne Bilham at the 1830s Carrollton Inn in Baltimore, shooting for the Ingo Swann documentary. This photo was retouched and resized by Maryanne.

Small world of interconnectivity when we were interviewed last month (May 2016) for a documentary about our dear friend Ingo Swann. Ingo was, of course, the legendary remote viewer who led the way in training the military how to do psychic spying, and he and I first crossed paths back in the early 1970s as I traveled the lecture circuit with my good buddy Christopher Bird, who was talking about the Secret Life of Plants. Chris and I quickly had our fill of "New Age" conferences and began finding unusual ways to amuse ourselves. My favorite was founding the "International Order of the Paper Clip" and showing up to conferences wearing enormous paper clips on our lapels, confusing everyone for our own personal delight. I think we may have even initiated Ingo into our secret brotherhood on one occasion. Read more.

Hieronimus & Co. received this exciting bit of news comparing the rebirth of Dr. Bob's Apocalypse mural to what happened to Diego Rivera and his mural Man at the Crossroads in 1933. Dr. Bob's doctoral committee chairman, Dr. Stanley Krippner, told us that while he was giving a presentation in Mexico recently, he compared the Hieronimus work to that of Diego Rivera, specifically, that both suffered from the destruction of their murals.

Opening of Restored Apocalypse Mural
A Highlight of JHU Alumni Weekend

The historic Apocalypse mural by Dr. Bob Hieronimus at Johns Hopkins University, Levering Hall was fully restored in the summer of 2015, and on April 8, 2016 Johns Hopkins hosted an alumni weekend special lecture and tour of the mural. The lecture on the social justice history of Hopkins was followed by a cocktail reception and then a personal tour of the mural by the artist himself. University President Ron Daniels introduced the speakers, honoring Dr. Bob, the mural, and the team of restoration artists, with a sold-out presentation on the history of social activism at Hopkins by historian Bill Leslie.

Memoriam for Sir George Martin
by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

Dr. Bob Hieronimus presenting a Beatles wristwatch to Sir George Martin in 2000

Sir George Martin, Beatles producer, passed away in early March of 2016. On March 20, we produced a two hour radio special made up of clips from the numerous times he had joined us as a guest on 21st Century Radio. (Click here to listen to that show.) In fact, we did six exclusive interviews with him starting in 1995 up to 2007, in what must have been one of the last radio interviews he granted, as his hearing was severely impaired by that time. He granted us access most other media could not get, and even ABC radio contacted us at one point to use our tapes because they needed a quote from him and couldn't get it. We talked about the Cirque du Soleil's LOVE production, the Beatles Anthology, the Yellow Submarine, Genetically Modified Foods, global warming and the destruction of Montserrat, as well as ghosts, UFOs and ESP.

White Spirit Animals
Dr. Zohara's New Book
To Be Released In 2017


Dr. Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus, D.H.L, has been writing her book about the White Spirit Animals for two years (working title: White Spirit Animals: Prophets of the Wild, to be released in 2017 by Bear & Co.), discovering as Shamans do, that dreams are a bridge between all species and make it possible for everyone to talk with animals. "What I have learned is that animals know their own pre-Ice Age history and share it willingly with humans who listen. All of the White spirit animals are apex guardians of entire ecosystems. We must do everything we can to protect the Lion, Bear, Wolf, Bison, Elephant and Whale as each presides over Earth's major ecosystems, which, without them, will collapse more rapidly."

Why Sarah Palin's Endorsement of Donald Trump
Spells Disaster for Our Nation


Sarah Palin represents an extremist Christian mindset that is just as dangerous and potentially violent as the extremist Islamic mindset. It's called the New Apostolic Reformation, and because their claims are so outrageous to seem almost silly to the American intelligentsia, the media's under­reporting on this growing movement means we have ignored this fundamentalist mindset at our own peril. The mania that is currently manifesting as growing support for a madman like Donald Trump is fueled by people who love conspiracies where they can blame "the other" for all that is wrong with the world. Hatred of "the other" has led to horrifying genocides in history, but blaming some other group remains perennially attractive because it is easier than taking responsibility for oneself to fix what is wrong with the world.

The Secret Life of Lady Liberty


The Secret Life of Lady Liberty: Goddess in the New World is the title of a forthcoming book by Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D. and Laura E. Cortner, scheduled for publication by Inner Traditions International in late summer of 2016. This is not your standard Statue of Liberty book. Instead, this book uses the Statue of Liberty as a focal point to examine the symbolism of the female divine in America, and why the idea of an American goddess makes so many people feel uncomfortable. Focusing on Liberty in the form of a giant woman reveals the untold histories of the many suppressed classes in America, and leads to the reali­zation that the empowerment of contemporary women is essential for achieving sus­tainable liberty for all.

Reflections and Changes after (Almost) Three Decades On the Air


As we approach the 30th anniversary of 21st Century Radio®, I find myself reflecting on my approach to the program that I have hosted and produced for so long, and deciding to make some changes. Nothing drastic, like taking the program off the air or anything like that! Just changing my approach to the insane amount of preparation I do for each guest, which limits the total number of guests we are able to feature on the show. I'll explain my decision after first reviewing some of our history. Click here to read more.


Review of the Movie "Suffragette"


We were very excited when we first heard that Meryl Streep was playing the role of British suffrage leader Emmeline Pankhurst in a new film released today entitled "Suffragette." We assumed the film would be about the powerhouse Pankhurst mother and daughters family who led British women to the vote at the turn of the 20th century, and also hugely impacted the movement in the United States to focus on "deeds, not words." The controversial militant approach advocated by the Pankhursts to use violent demonstrations, followed by hunger strikes when jailed, was effectively documented in the moving 2004 film "Iron Jawed Angels," the story of the American leaders, Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who imported these tactics and slogans to American woman suffragists.

Support the Pollinator Protection Act of 2016


Dr. Zoh recently wrote a letter to the the Maryland House Environment and Transportation Committee on HB211, a bill which would manage the use of neonicotinoid pesticides and require labeling of plants treated with them. Neonics poses numerous risks, and it's important to limit their indiscriminate use—by protecting our pollinators we will ensure a safe and plentiful food supply. We will also protect wildlife and human health by reducing the non-essential widespread use of these toxic pesticides. Read her full letter & find out how to make your voice heard.


Dr. Bob Celebrates His Birthday
at the Orioles


Dr. Bob celebrated his birthday with an Oriole game on September 16, 2015, but his birthday fairy did not grant the Orioles a win, or even a respectable loss (Red Sox beat them miserably 10-1). He recommends the Dempsey salad at Rick Dempsey's restaurant before the game, so you can then treat yourself to the ice cream and stout cupcake afterward — when it's your birthday! His Happy Birthday message on the big screen was kind of overshadowed by the Kiss Cam, but he barely noticed. Happy Birthday Dr. Bob! May you have 72 more healthy years ahead of you!

The Restoration of
the Apocalypse Mural

Completed Right On Time!
August 20, 2015


To the great credit of a hardworking team meeting a series of backbreaking challenges, the Apocalypse mural restoration was completed on time, on the final day allotted: August 20, 2015. In the weeks approaching the deadline, our team of artists had to be expanded by three, and we all had to move from working five days a week to seven, a move that obviously further taxed our major funding source. My original team of four artists plus myself were quite confident back in May that we could complete the task of repairing and repainting 2,700 square feet within the timeframe allowed, from mid-May to August 20th, the day we had to be cleared out in time for the students returning to campus for the fall. We had no idea how overly optimistic we were. Read more.


Bravo to
Senator Barbara Mikulski!

Another Letter to the Editor of the Baltimore Sun that they chose not to print.
by Dr. Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D.

Leave it to one of America's greatest Senators to not only give our President a victory on the Iran deal, but our planet a chance to survive for a least another 10 years. Bravo, Senator Barbara Mikulski! Several years ago, the Sun printed my letter suggesting Mikulski for Vice President, and today I wish she were running for President. In our ever-disintegrating patriarchal world, Senator Mikulski represents the essence of the philosophy of partnership. She is the role model for why we need more women in positions of power, but just as important, why we need leaders who are strong enough to embrace their so-called feminine powers. We need partnership in all things, but especially in politics. Click here to read more.


The Restoration of
the Apocalypse Mural
Progress Update August 9, 2015

I originally completed the Apocalypse mural at Johns Hopkins University in February 1969. It was commissioned by Dr. Chester Wickwire, Chaplain of the Johns Hopkins University. A crew of artists and I have been working on restoring this mural since May 2015. It must be completed by August 20, 2015 when the students return. Although we have been making great progress we still have a very long way to go. Click here for the second installment on progress on The Apocalypse Mural refurbishment Summer, 2015.


The Apocalypse Mural Is Being Reborn

This summer, Dr. Bob Hieronimus has been hard at work at Johns Hopkins University restoring his 46 year old mural, "The Apocalypse." Years of abuse from the mural room being used as an office space resulted in numerous holes and cracks from shelving and bulletin boards being drilled directly into the mural. Thanks to a dedicated crew and the assistance of Johns Hopkins Curator of Cultural Properties, the Apocalypse is being reborn. The surfaces have been scraped and washed down and spackled, areas were redrawn and repainting has begun. Originally completed in February 1969 and documented in a Maryland Public Television documentary, "The Apocalypse" tells of the cyclic nature of history and how a corporate oligarchy is today threatening our democratic republic and the planet itself.

The drug war killed Freddie Gray

Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus The Baltimore Sun, May 2, 2015.

The tragic deaths of Freddie Gray in Maryland, Michael Brown of Missouri, and Walter Scott in South Carolina are representative of America's institutionalized violence, grounded in our modern era drug war.

The American drug war began with President Richard Nixon's 1971 declaration of war, calling drug use "public enemy No.1," followed two years later by the creation of the Drug Enforcement Agency. It was easier then for law enforcement to both legally and illegally arrest our citizens without fearing for their own lives, because there were fewer guns on the streets. Today there are 250 million to 300 million guns in our community, one for almost every American.

Please contact your elected officials today and let them know you support the 2015 Pollinator Protection Act!

The growing and widespread use of toxic neonicotinoid pesticides ("neonics") is a major contributor to the alarming decline of honey bees. This poses a serious threat to our food supply, to wildlife and to human health. We need to pass this bill to label nursery plants treated with toxic, bee-killing pesticides and restrict their consumer use. Many “bee-friendly” garden plants sold at home garden centers have been pre-treated with these bee-killing pesticides—contact your elected officials about this now!

Review of The Hobbit 3: Battle of the Five Armies

by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

Listen to the archive of 21st Century Radio from SUNDAY 12/28/14

Host: Dr. Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D.

GUEST ONE 8:00-8:30 PM Eastern

Sir Richard Taylor

Oscar-winning special effects genius behind the Lord of the Rings, previews the final installment of "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies". Plus the Thunderbirds Are Go!

I thought this movie was great! Even though I was left melancholy at the end, this being the final-final installment from this particular team of this particular story. This is why I thought it entirely appropriate for the film to end very sweetly and softly, rather than with a big bang, because for people like me, we are sad this is truly the end of our adventure into Tolkien's Middle Earth through this particular lens. And what a ride it's been! Read the whole review online...

Did Scotland and the Knights Templar Influence the Founding of America and the Design of America’s Great Seal?

A World Exclusive Interview with Gary Gianotti, Feb 22, 2015

The official version of who designed and executed America’s Great Seal has been that three committees submitted designs, and ultimately the final designs were arranged by Charles Thomson and William Barton. Their designs were officially approved by Congress on June 20, 1782. Dr. Bob has always accepted this conclusion. Gary Gianotti has been working for years to document that Robert Scot, the engraver of the first die, was the actual man in charge of the final design. Gianotti presents his genealogical research that raises questions about how the Scot family is directly associated by marriage to families of the Knights Templar. According to his theory, Robert Scot did not come to America to win the respect of the Founding Fathers in an attempt to get the job of making the United States Seals. Instead Scot was trained and sent to the United States to do the job as part of the secret influence of these families. Called the “Unknown Superiors,” these were secret Jacobites exiled from Scotland, and Gianotti asks the crucial question of what role did Scotland and the Templars play in the founding of America and the design of America’s Great Seal?

Some observations about
American Symbolism, By Gary Gianotti

All government, royal and church seals
have an “art within the art.”


Pictured above is the 2nd Great Seal of the United States, made in 1782-1783. This is the oldest surviving United States Government Seal made by Robert Scot, James Trenchard, Pierre Eugene Du Simitere, and students in Philadelphia. This is the only U.S. Government Great Seal that has been studied in depth and in hand by me.

This seal is smaller than a half dollar coin and contains in near microscopic size scale, anywhere from 1,000-2,000 symbols everywhere on the seal. In the flat section that is not the relief, you can see an uneven surface made up of these symbols, done by needle piercing under lenses that can see up to .008. Lenses have been found that date back to 2,500 years ago that have the same magnification. This art was done in the same fashion by the ancient Scythian people who settled the U.K. and Europe. What I have just told you can be referenced and confirmed by William Neyberg, who is a member of “The Numismatic Bibliomania Society Esylum”. William is the leading authority of Robert Scot, doing this art in U.S. coins at the early U.S. Mint.



The George Washington Spy Button

This photo is said to be a George Washington Spy Button. It was recently acquired by Robert Silverstein. These buttons were worn by Washington’s spies who would be allowed to walk into camp and see Washington directly with no hesitation because they wore these buttons. Whether these are true spy buttons is not fully proven. The symbol on the button depicts the 8-pointed star. When he designed this button Robert Scot used this symbol as was done from the ancients to the Scottish Pictish kings. This links it back to the Crinan the Thane of Dunkeld lines of the kings, and connects George Washington with this bloodline history of Cospatrick of Dunbar, the son of Maldred and grandson of Crinan the Thane of Dunkeld.

Dr. Bob Hieronimus gave a gallery lecture on Visionary Artists and Activism at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) on Friday, October 3, 2014 at 7 PM. Held in the Rosenberg Gallery of the Brown Center, on the 2nd Floor, the show featured works by “Renaissance Rzen: Artist in Exile”. Outsider artist Warren Hynson, who works under the name Renaissanz Rzen, has spent more than 20 years in prison and is incarcerated in Jessup Correctional Institution. He began painting after being inspired by the work of his fellow prison artists. His vibrant acrylic portraits of inmates help tell the story of his own struggle and the struggle of his comrades in exile.

Earth may have underground ‘ocean’ three times that on surface

Scientists say rock layer hundreds of miles down holds vast amount of water, opening up new theories on how planet formed

After decades of searching scientists have discovered that a vast reservoir of water, enough to fill the Earth’s oceans three times over, may be trapped hundreds of miles beneath the surface, potentially transforming our understanding of how the planet was formed.

The water is locked up in a mineral called ringwoodite about 660km (400 miles) beneath the crust of the Earth, researchers say. Geophysicist Steve Jacobsen from Northwestern University in the US co-authored the study published in the journal Science and said the discovery suggested Earth’s water may have come from within, driven to the surface by geological activity, rather than being deposited by icy comets hitting the forming planet as held by the prevailing theories.

“We The People” Mural is Reborn, Enlarged, and Renamed

The “We The People” Mural is both a refurbishment and a redesigned extension of a 1974 Bob Hieronimus mural called “The Bicentennial Mural”- one of 10 contest winners for the City’s Bicentennial art program that year.

With funding from Zohara Meyerhoff Hieronimus he selected a crew of dedicated art students and professionals from UMBC, MICA and Johns Hopkins University to help him execute his new design, which this time encompassed the entire wall, nearly doubling the size of the original.

Happy 45th Anniversary to Woodstock! What Woodstock Means to Me

by Dr. Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D.

Ultimately, I believe the legacy of Woodstock is in the original name for the festival: It was called “An Aquarian Exposition”. Woodstock was the seed for the revolutionary idea that humans could rise to the occasion, overcome all kinds of obstacles of the most fundamental sort, and still hang in there and work together. It was living proof that human beings are more than just physical bodies, and that we possess something within us of a higher consciousness and awareness.

Expose Exxon – Boycott Exxon!

Detail from "Red States" by Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D.

ExxonMobil is the most profitable corporation in world history, making over $1.6 trillion in revenue -- $136 billion in profit -- from 2008-2011 according to Forbes data. ExxonMobil is a key member of the top lobbying group for the oil industry. They are using this profit to fund the debunkers of climate change science. ExxonMobil is the biggest funder of profit-motivated, anti-science challenges to the internationally accepted models predicting the severity of climate change. Don’t let your gas dollars contribute to this selfish behemoth that is using your money to squash progress for a cleaner world.

Dr. Zohara Hieronimus discussed her latest book, The Future of Human Experience, to a full house at Breathe Books

 

An adventure in ideas and solutions for planet Earth's great challenges, Zoh Hieronimus discussed how we each shape the future today, and why prayer, right intention, and collective will can transform even the forces of nature. Her new book The Future of Human Experience: Visionary Thinkers on the Science of Consciousness (2013) explores the body of the world, the mind of the world, and the soul of the world. Self-management, Zoh shares, is as important as international agreements. We are enfolded in the world, and also, the world unfolds from us.

Baltimore Friends of IONS: The Future Of Human Experience: Visionary Thinkers on the Science of Consciousness sponsored the event.

 

Dr. Bob was especially pleased to be invited to speak at length about the influence of the Native Americans on the founding fathers. Unlike the dozens of U.S. documentaries on which he has been interviewed for History, Discovery, Nat Geo, SyFy, Fox, etc., the interviewers for Der Spiegel seemed to understand the importance of the usually overlooked impact of the Native Americans on Euro-Americans. Representatives from the League of the Iroquois were invited to attend and advise the Continental Congress during their deliberations, and taught Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and many others the key ingredients for success.

False Spontaneity of the Tea Party

by Al Gore in the Huffington Post

The Tea Party Movement was planned over a decade ago by groups with ties to the tobacco and fossil fuel industries.

A new study funded by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health reveals that the Tea Party Movement was planned over a decade ago by groups with ties to the tobacco and fossil fuel industries. The movement was not a spontaneous populist uprising, but rather a long-term strategy to promote the anti-science, anti-government agenda of powerful corporate interests. The two organizations mentioned in the report, Americans for Prosperity and Freedomworks, used to be a single organization that was founded by the Koch brothers and heavily financed by the tobacco industry. These organizations began planning the Tea Party Movement over ten years ago to promote a common agenda that advocated market fundamentalism over science and opposed any regulation or taxation of fossil fuels and tobacco products.

Scientists know what's killing our bees and putting our food supply at risk: An insecticide called "neonics." But one Big Ag giant has actually asked the EPA to let it use up to 4,000% MORE of this deadly toxin! This could cripple our food supply! The EPA is taking public comments on this issue until October 6, and is required to consider them all. I took 30 seconds to submit mine, asking the EPA to suspend this chemical rather than allowing even more -- will you join me? Together, we can make a difference!

Zohara Celebrates 30 Years Being Ahead of Her Time on 10/12/14

In 1984 there were no holistic centers in the region, and very few natural healing options. Baltimoreans had to travel hundreds of miles to find a quality acupuncturist or a trained and licensed homeopath or nutrition expert. Zohara Hieronimus determined to change all that and on her own founded the Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center, despite being told by medical professionals at Hopkins and other hospitals that it would never succeed.

Zohara Hieronimus, D.H.L. and Dr. Ina Grundman

Thanks to her foresight, Ruscombe celebrates 30 years on October 12, 2014 with a free Open House, vegetarian food samples, yoga classes, holistic panel discussions and Q&A. Ruscombe is still the largest and oldest holistic healing center on the East Coast, but Zohara's persistence also paid off in the local hospitals who have opened up their own holistic options in the meantime.

Deception: A Review and Critical Analysis of the book, Encounter In Rendlesham Forest

By Peter Robbins

And so it happened that as I read ... I began to notice something, subtle at first, then more apparent, ...a pattern that seemed to have been deliberately undertaken, in an intentional manner, and calculated only to manifest negative intent. ...Each data point was presented respectfully, if incomplete or in reconfigured form, and... strongly suggested there was good cause to doubt... my professionalism, research and investigation skills, and reputation.... I must conclude that parts of this book were written with conscious intent to deceive its readers, and in so doing, demean the value of an outstanding book I had put almost ten years of my life into.

 VW Kombi Pays Tribute to Dr. Bob

Speaking as the Kombi, the narrator says: "Dr. Bob is one cool dude."

This little film was six months in the making and gathers scenes from people who went through special moments with the famous Volkswagen bus, including artist/historian/designer Bob Hieronimous. Watch to see Dr. Bob as he receives a gift from this iconic car.


Welcome to Dogwood Farm's 2014 Organic Garden

Our sizeable garden on Dogwood Farm first grew out of a meditation I had in 2008, which showed me the importance of growing more than a back door garden patch, something I had always maintained. Why? Simply to see what it would take to be somewhat more self-sufficient. The answer, of course, as any gardener knows, or farmers who have lived for millennium working the earth know: it takes a lot of labor, determination, dedication, consistency, humility and energy -- not to mention financial resources -- to create a thriving garden.

Elise Kornack and Anna Hieronimus's Take Root Awarded a Michelin Star!

Michelin, the European tire maker that publishes what could be the world's most recognized guide for dining out, unveiled its 2015 list of New York's best restaurants.

Take Root, a twelve seat, contemporary, American restaurant serving a tasting menu in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn N.Y.C. was awarded one star! Read more.


Brooklyn Chef Counter Take Root Is Small And Mighty: Review

Photographer: Dominic Perri/Bloomberg

Restaurant kitchens require a certain amount of manpower to run, so unless you're popping over to his house, the chef isn't really the one cooking dinner for you. It's the chef plus many hands -- cooks who arrive early to wash, peel, and chop, prep all day, and cook through service, staying late to scrub down the kitchen and take stock of the walk in.

There are few exceptions to this rule. You'll find one in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, where the married couple Elise Kornack (back of house) and Anna Hieronimus (front of house) have a 12-seat restaurant called Take Root. Kornack, who is 27, has no prep cook, no dishwasher, no intern to pick and wash herbs, no sous chef to put out the fires. The kitchen is hers alone and what comes out of it can be marvelous.

See Dr. Bob on the History-2 ("H-2") Channel Mid-August on the Season 3 Premiere of "Ten Things You Didn't Know About...The U.S. Flag" with Henry Rollins

Dr. Bob will appear in the premiere episode of the third season of "10 Things You Don't Know About" hosted by Henry Rollins on the H-2 channel August 16th at 10 PM Eastern. This episode is about who designed the American Flag. It was not Betsey Ross! It was Francis Hopkinson, the only artist to sign the Declaration of Independence. The U.S. Flag has been a particular passion of Bob Hieronimus for decades and he has written extensively about its history and symbolism as well as created numerous pieces of art about the flag.

See the "Our Flag As Cosmic Drama" essay here.

See more about the show at History.com

Filming for "10 Things You Don't Know About" took place at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. where Bob was thrilled to see and touch the actual documents and invoices Hopkinson submitted to Congress proving he is the designer of our flag. Read more online...

This is the vintage Oprah Winfrey we remember in Baltimore from her start at WJZ-TV, Channel 13, seen here together with Richard Sher.

Oprah Winfrey Interviews Bob Hieronimus

Calls his collection of artwork “exciting” and a “historical, futuristic perspective”

Oprah Winfrey owes me a favor.

She would probably not remember this, but when she was a roving reporter at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, one of the times she was sent out to interview me was at Ft. McHenry on October 7, 1980.

I had a showing of my watercolor series about Baltimore that was on display at Ft. McHenry National Monument and it was attracting a lot of attention from the tourists and many visitors that come through the home of the “Star Spangled Banner” every year.

Oprah arrived late for our appointment, and was really distressed about it. Read the whole article and hear the interview online...

Looking for ‘the Disappeared’

March 18, 2014

The UN estimates that each year, nearly 4,000,000 men, women, and children are sold into slavery through human trafficking. Ships, planes, trains, trucks and vans worldwide transport them. The victims of this $10 billion industry (40% of whom are women and children sold into sex indenturment) do not willingly purchase tickets for their rides — they are victims of kidnap, extortion, and trickery.

While the international collaboration to find the likely sunken Malaysian aircraft 370, and the lost lives in its cabin, (12 crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations) is a good sign, the failure of technology apparent, the lack of military psychics who are trained to see ‘everywhere and everywhen’ not surprising, but disappointing none the less. Forensics might reveal gas warfare-like traces in the bodies of the passengers, explaining the lack of cell phone texts to loved ones, and perhaps notice one male and one female no longer on board who parachuted to their sea rendezvous, where they were secreted away by boat, having put the plane on auto pilot knowing its fuel supply would only go so far, who were in fact hired by Russia to distract attention from their invasion of Ukraine. Everyone can imagine a good story line when no one yet knows what the true one is. That’s the power of TV, to draw us into stories other than those that are true. That any of it passes for news is dubious, that it brings higher ratings, obvious.

Volkswagen Sends Crew from Brazil to Film Dr. Bob for VW Commercial

On February 17th, 2014 Drs. Bob and Zohara Hieronimus welcomed a crew from Spray Filmes of Sao Paulo Brazil to interview Dr. Bob about his famous Woodstock Bus. Volkswagen has launched a media campaign to bid farewell to the beloved Kombi bus that is being discontinued forever, and they collected stories from all over the world about how this van had touched and transformed people’s lives. They selected their favorites for inclusion in a one-minute television commercial told from the point of view of the Kombi itself, and Dr. Bob’s Woodstock Bus memories will be included. They are also producing a longer tribute video for their website.

Dr. Bob Hieronimus Celebrating Babe Ruth’s 119th Birthday in 2014

We’ve been having a very snowy and icy winter this year, and the date of Babe Ruth’s 119th Birthday Bash at the Babe Ruth and Sports Legends Museums in downtown Baltimore was no exception. I had been looking forward for months to celebrating with a good cigar and a hot dog together with my friends from the Bert Simmons’ Negro League Baseball Museum of Maryland, and Geraldine Day, the widow of Baltimore’s Hall of Famer Leon Day, one of the fastest pitchers in the Negro Leagues. But alas, we live on a mountain, making ice storms like the one we had on February 6, 2014, a very dangerous time to venture down my driveway...

Not Enough Hobbit in “Hobbit #2”

Review by Dr. Bob Hieronimus of “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” released in theaters on December 13, 2013

Our only complaint about this film was there was not enough screen time for the hobbit Bilbo. Other than that, we loved every minute of this film. Yes, it’s longer than it needs to be, but those of us who are diehard Tolkien fans simply relish every saturated moment we can get when we can pretend we are actually in Middle Earth.

Goodbye to the Hippie Van!

The iconic VW bus, known as the Kombi, is sadly being discontinued, and as the last ones roll off the last remaining assembly lines in Brazil, both fans and the Volkswagen corporation are paying their last respects. Due to his fame with the Woodstock Bus, Dr. Bob was contacted by a Brazilian journalist who posted his story on VW’s Brazilian website of fan love (vw.com.br/kombi). Then the VW ad agency picked up on it, and selected Bob’s story about the Woodstock Bus for a special homage along with some of their other favorite stories.

Martin O’Malley, Governor of Maryland, is a longtime fan of Dr. Bob Hieronimus’s painted Artcars and Vans. We think it would be quite something if the team of business and academic leaders currently traveling with Gov. Martin O’Malley would see it during their trip. Beginning December 2, Governor Martin O’Malley kicked off an economic development mission to Brazil joined by more than 30 Maryland businesses, higher education leaders and government officials.

Memorial Tribute to Paul H. Trattner, M.F.A., F.R.C.

 

This is the second installment in our memorial tribute to our great friend, Paul H. Trattner, who passed into spirit on August 28, 2013. Because we are posting this in December 2013, we are focusing here on Paul’s alter ego known as “Santa Paul”. For many years, Paul was a beloved performer at holiday events and Christmas parades. Imagine visiting what you think is a standard department-store Santa only to see him captivate the crowds with his charming and innocent magic tricks. I’ll bet you all would have gone home that night believing in the magic of Santa Claus! Paul had a truly magical twinkle in his eye that came from his deep and passionate study of the esoteric mysteries of human potential, and he had a sparkling quick wit to match, always treating everyone around him with infectious chuckles.

“The World Will Be Saved by Western Women”

More women in places of political power is what the world needs, and when we saw how the record number of women in the U.S. Congress was instrumental in ending the shutdown of the government, we saw validation in the Dalai Lama’s 2009 prediction that “The world will be saved by Western Women”. As catalogued in a Time Magazine article by Jay Newton-Small: “You can credit the tight, bipartisan bonds that these women have formed for not only seeding the compromise that reopened the government, but the vast majority of the legislation passed this session.”

As celebrated by the N.Y. Times

" Take Root, which opened in January in far west Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, is an improbable enterprise. By day, it is a yoga studio for children. Three nights a week, it turns into a restaurant serving multicourse, unascetic, remarkable meals. The staff comprises Elise Kornack, the chef, and her fiancée, Anna Hieronimus, the host, waitress and busser (and yoga instructor). What started a year and a half ago as a supper club at their apartment has, since January, occupied a more formal space, with seats for 14 diners, on a drowsy block by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

Dr. Bob Hieronimus, who painted the room-filling mural "The Apocalypse" on the second floor of Homewood campus's Levering Hall, is interviewed in a splendid article by Bret McCabe featuring a great collection of images of the mural by Will Kirk, for Johns Hopkins Magazine.

"Almost 45 years later, he is hoping to restore the painting, which, he says, does not depict the end of the world as told in the Bible. "The mural is about how history is cyclical and how what determines the cycles is the key." The detail above depicts the separation of the sexes into male and female."

Tell Congress: Stop the pesticide that is killing bees

Last month, 50,000 bumble bees died after trees in Wilsonville, Oregon were sprayed with dinotefuran, the neonicotinoid ingredient in Safari pesticide. This was the largest bee die-off ever recorded.

With bee populations declining across the around the country at an alarming rate, I urge you to support the "Save America's Pollinators Act" to restrict the use of these chemicals until we can be assured that they are safe and being used properly.

The trial is historic both because none of the funds will come from Big Pharma (who cannot patent mistletoe), and also because Johns Hopkins, one of the top ranked medical research facilities in the world, is doing a study on a botanical substance for cancer. This is a patient-driven initiative, funded by a grass roots organization, not the government, but by us, YOU and ME!

How the Government Killed Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Carl Gibson, Reader Supported News

April 3, 2013

Before scoffing at this headline, you should know that in 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee, more than three decades after MLK's death, a jury found local, state, and federal government agencies guilty of conspiring to assassinate the Nobel Peace Prize winner and civil rights leader. The same media you would expect to cover such a monumental decision was absent at the trial, because those news organizations were part of that conspiracy. William F. Pepper, who was James Earl Ray's first attorney, called over 70 witnesses to the stand to testify on every aspect of the assassination. The panel, which consisted of an even mix of both black and white jurors, took only an hour of deliberation to find Loyd Jowers and other defendants guilty. If you're skeptical of any factual claims made here, click here for a full transcript, broken into individual sections. Read the testimonies yourself if you don't want to take my word for it.

Dr. Bob Hieronimus interviewed James Earl Ray from prison in 1992 and we will be posting a transcript of that interview in the near future. Click here to read the full Carl Gibson article previewed above.

Punishment Before Trial

By Graham Nash, Reader Supported News

Graham Nash was a guest on 21st Century Radio on 11/4/12 when he talked about the Bradley Manning case. Click here to listen.

I read the news about Colonel Denise Lind's ruling in the case against Bradley Manning with great interest. She ruled that Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of releasing thousands of military and diplomatic emails and cables to Wikileaks was indeed subjected to excessively harsh treatment whilst in military detention and this must surely be seen as a small victory for the Manning defense team.

The punishment of Bradley Manning goes directly against the Uniform Code of Military Justice's own laws, namely Section 813 article 13, which basically states, "No punishment before trial." This law was obviously broken. People in this country are entitled to a "speedy trial," which is normally between 100 and 120 days from the date of the crime. Bradley Manning has been incarcerated for more than 1,000 days before his trial has begun and even a United Nations investigation confirmed that Manning was being held in inhumane conditions that was tantamount to torture.

“Red States, Inc.”

Art and commentary by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

High-quality reprint posters of this piece are available for $15 postage included with a free 8-page interpretation booklet.

The original artwork "Red States, Inc." measures
20.5 inches high by 40 inches wide.

This piece came to me after reading a powerful essay by Stephan Schwartz entitled “Social Values, Social Wellness: Can We Know What Works?” (first published in the SchwartzReport EXPLORE March/April 2012, Vol. 8, No. 2). Schwartz is a researcher, writer and editor on trends that are affecting the future, and in this article he was very careful to rely solely on statistical data rather than political opinion. He allows the statistical data to demonstrate the difference in the health and wellbeing of people living where progressive values and social welfare programs are endorsed, as compared to the health and wellbeing of the populations where conservative social beliefs are emphasized and social welfare programs are not endorsed. It’s quite clear from the data: more compassion for others = greater health and prosperity for all.

Uranus Square Pluto 2013
Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn: Our world could experience very serious changes this year due to the Uranus-Pluto Square.

from DarkStarAstrology.com

Uranus represents change, invention, revolution and higher awareness, it's effect is shocking, unpredictable and erratic. Pluto represents globalization, destruction, transformation and renewal, it's effect is grinding, ruthless and extreme. Both of these planets are distinctly non-personal and emotionless, yet their effect is dramatic and deeply felt. The square is the most challenging of the planetary aspects representing tests and challenges, it's effect is stressful and frustrating.

from Dave Gunning, Astrologer

The last time Uranus squared Pluto (4/21/1932-1/18/1934)

    - The Great Depression in the United States
  • - The rise of Nazi Germany 

The challenged side of the 2012-2015 Uranus square Pluto

  • - The Middle East: violent toppling of governments
  • - European economies: defaults or bailouts
  • - Geological upheavals: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes
  • - Terrorist threats and attacks 

The bright side of the 2012-2015 Uranus square Pluto

  • - Occupy Wall Street Movement: the left marches, bringing awareness to corporate greed
  • - The Tea Party Movement: the far right speaks out against government spending
  • - Breakthroughs in theoretical physics: string theory, gravitational waves, dark matter
  • - Breakthroughs in medicine: the Human Genome Project

False Spontaneity of the Tea Party

by Al Gore in the Huffington Post

The Tea Party Movement was planned over a decade ago by groups with ties to the tobacco and fossil fuel industries.

A new study funded by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health reveals that the Tea Party Movement was planned over a decade ago by groups with ties to the tobacco and fossil fuel industries. The movement was not a spontaneous populist uprising, but rather a long-term strategy to promote the anti-science, anti-government agenda of powerful corporate interests. The two organizations mentioned in the report, Americans for Prosperity and Freedomworks, used to be a single organization that was founded by the Koch brothers and heavily financed by the tobacco industry. These organizations began planning the Tea Party Movement over ten years ago to promote a common agenda that advocated market fundamentalism over science and opposed any regulation or taxation of fossil fuels and tobacco products.

Tell President Obama: Don't appoint fracking proponent Dr. Ernest Moniz to lead the Department of Energy

President Obama keeps saying we need to confront climate change. So why is he considering appointing a major proponent of fracking to lead the Department of Energy? According to Reuters, President Obama is seriously considering appointing Dr. Ernest Moniz - the director of MIT's Big Oil-sponsored Energy Institute and a big believer in expanding toxic, climate-heating gas fracking. At a time when the last thing we should be doing is undermining our progress against climate change, Moniz is the wrong choice to head one of the most important agencies in the fight for a sustainable energy future. Tell President Obama: Stop promoting fracking, and don't appoint Ernest Moniz to head the Department of Energy!

The Symbolic Meaning of the Ravens’ Win

by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

I’m sure all the players played their hardest during yesterday’s Super Bowl, but I don’t think there are many people who disagree that an awful lot of “luck” – if that’s what you want to call it -- was involved in the Ravens’ win. After the game we heard practically all of the coaches and players repeatedly giving thanks to their higher powers for helping them succeed.

What I didn’t hear mentioned was the mystical, Mercurial aspect of the symbolic Raven. And now that the game is over, we can see this magical totem was on our side, too. That’s the problem with the raven as a magical symbol. At heart, it’s a trickster, and you can never be entirely sure of its motives.

Many cultures (North American, Celtic) see the raven as a shapeshifter and link it to prophecy and the creation of the world. After the Super Bowl win, however, I’m more interested in the raven’s association with change.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Review by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

Speaking as a decades-long Tolkien junkie, my review of any dramatization of his works is going to be biased. Nor can I come to this review of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” as a film critic who would try to evaluate a film adaptation purely on its cinematic qualities. Because of the dozens of times I have read these tomes, I will constantly analyze any Tolkien dramatization for every detail of how it differs from the original.

Hurricane Sandy – A Lesson to Learn From

Oct. 28, 2012

Dr. Zohara M. Hieronimus, DHL

For almost thirty years now, Hieronimus & Co in its various radio broadcasts, television, print, online, and other public forums has addressed the increasing weather extremes as a result of global warming. This discussion began in earnest in 1985 among scientists and only now is it becoming self evident with the October surprise of Hurricane Sandy, not to mention the severe droughts, floods, record temperatures world wide, and other anomalous weather patterns and their deleterious impacts on animals, nature and humans.

As the East Coast encounters this ‘frankenstorm’, I hope more citizens appreciate the lack luster environmental policies promoted by ex-Governor Romney and less than robust initiatives of the Congress and our President, Barack Obama, whom I voted for and will again. It is also possible to see that dividing citizens is not a progressive nor productive outcome of the current Presidential election or USA media and is the result of the outright corporate theft of what once was a prerogative of citizens. Candidates are now bought and sold by their underwriters rather than being chosen by the people they are obligated to serve. We all must hold Congress accountable for their perpetual failure regarding our earth’s well being.

Above, in the background, that soaring edifice covered in the gold captured from the Native American mines through the lives and bodies of the thousands of indigenous peoples whose efforts still decorate the cathedrals all over Europe.

Dr. Bob talks to ‘Conspiro Media’ about The Beatles’ animated movie ‘Yellow Submarine’ from an esoteric perspective.

To mark last month’s release of The Beatles’ 1968 animated movie ‘Yellow Submarine’ on DVD and Blu-ray, ‘Conspiro Media’ grabbed the opportunity to chat with artist, author, researcher and radio-host Robert Richard Hieronimus Ph.D. His 2002 book, ‘Inside the Yellow Submarine: The Making of The Beatles Animated Classic,’ has been dubbed, “an indispensable companion to the movie.” It not only features exclusive interviews with all the principle creators of the film and an intricate account of the details behind the making of it, but also a unique analysis of the esoteric, symbolic aspects within the movie itself. In fact, the occult archetypes that Hieronimus believes are bubbling beneath the Yellow Submarine’s waters are what initially sparked his interest in the movie.

Dr. Bob on Irish Side of the Moon Radio

irish Side of the Moon Dr. HieronimusHost Gabriel and Dr. Bob talk about Canada, Jimi Hendrix, organised crime in the music industry, hemp, personal responsibility and the great seal of the United States. Robert dispels some of the myths surrounding secret societies and the much mis-translated Latin phrase " NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM", which more correctly translates to "NEW ORDER OF THE AGES", as opposed to , " new world order". As he belongs to two or more of these secret societies, it is a refreshing perspective.

Listen in to also find out how the Native Americans were instrumental in creating the Constitution of the United States, and the fundamental mistake the founding fathers made, mainly, there was an absence of founding mothers, or no balance.

Dr. Bob and his ArtCar We the People featured in bmore magazine and Artscape!

From the bmore feature by Jolene Carr with photographs by Steve Ruark

Hieronimus’ “We the People” car offers a harmonious blend of symbols and people, including the first African American astronomer Benjamin Banneker, the Iroquois prophet Deganawida and the names of six Iroquois nations scrolled across the hood. It also features Thomas Jefferson and Jimi Hendrix doing his Woodstock rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner. “ Hieronimus describes this as a reminder “that America has a spiritual destiny.”

This summer will mark his 6th year participating in Artscape’s Art Car Exhibit, displaying a biodiesel-fueled 1984 Mercedes, known as “We the People.”

NEW goal - We need 225,000 signatures !

Stop the Monsanto Rider

Stop the Monsanto Rider

Unless the senate or a citizen’s army of farmers and consumers can stop them, the House of Representatives is likely to ram this dangerous rider through any day now.

A so-called ‘Monsanto rider,’ quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require – not just allow, but require – the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. All the farmer or the biotech producer has to do is ask.

Please click below to help by signing the petition and better still, call your Representatives in the House.

The Student Reveals a Few Key Mentors

by Bob Hieronimus, Ph.D.

In April of 1972 I was contacted by the former Secretary General of the United Nations U Thant, who was providing a letter of introduction to me for Buddhist mystic and diplomat U Maung Maung Ji. This led to several momentous encounters for me with my most important mentors, who told me I had been overshadowed by a higher force to execute “The Apocalypse.”

I believe the time has now come for me to reveal this story and introduce you to the guides who have been with me since at least 1968 when I realized why I incarnated in this earthly body known as Robert R. Hieronimus.

The Mysterious Professor or the Unknown Speaker

Excerpted from United Symbolism of America by Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D. and recently published on www.UnitedSymbolismOfAmerica.com

Throughout the 20th Century academic historians routinely dismissed the suggestion that Secret Societies like the Freemasons and Rosicrucians had an influence on the founding of America. As we move into the 21st Century, however, the acknowledgement of this fact has begun to appear even among mainstream scholars. While earlier historic doctrines required scholars to dismiss anything that was improvable with physical evidence, today it is now considered unreasonable to dismiss the reports of an event or influence simply for lack of hard documentation. In my study of humanistic psychology, I have also grown to appreciate that even if a reported event or influence did NOT occur as popularly believed, its myth or legend still has the power to bring into being something of much greater importance than what we believe to be true.

I can readily understand why the History Channel loves this story about the Mysterious Professor or Unknown Speaker. I wrote about him in both my books, Founding Fathers, Secret Societies, and United Symbolism of America. I kept the accounts short because there is no historical documentation to verify this person’s involvement in either the flag design or the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There is, however, great value in understanding his story on an archetypal level of why his legend became popular and continues to be referenced to this day...read the entire article

A rebirth for a sacred place on the Mohawk

By Doug George-Kanentiio

Land sacred to the Peacemaker tradition of the Iroquois Indians has been returned to native hands for the first time in 300 years.  The 110-acre parcel is on the north shore of the Mohawk River, astride the Cohoes Falls, just before it flows into the Hudson River, and includes 1,200 feet of water frontage extending north of the river for about half a mile. The land along the Cohoes Falls is back in native hands thanks to the vision of the late Mohawk Nation Chief Jake Swamp and the hard work of Greg Schaaf, director of the Center for Indigenous Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, N.M., and John Kim Bell, the Kahnawake Mohawk who founded the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards in Canada.

The Seat of Governance

by Zohara Hieronimus, D.H.L.

Prayer is powerful. Those who know this from personal experience use prayer for seeking guidance from G-d about their own lives, for healing themselves and others. One can use prayer to praise G-d for the miracle of life itself and the things we have to be grateful for. Many people like myself, pray to G-d for divine insight about the world and how to bring peace and harmony to everyone on earth.

I have never in my entire life received a message of hate from prayer nor heard a message of division. I have never while praying, received any instructions that involve intolerance, elimination of other people, or lack of understanding that souls have many ways to find Him, of finding that inner home of the heart which G-d Illuminates within each one of us.

Assassination Attempts and the ‘Antichrist’ Agenda

On 11/11/11 there was an attempted assassination of President Obama by a young man named Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez. According to the news reports, Ortega believed Mr. Obama was “the devil” and had to be “taken care of”. He also was “obsessed with the date November 11, 2011.” I was sadly not surprised to read about this horrible attempt by a clearly disturbed individual, and I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the Dominionist preachers who advocate the elimination of politicians they consider “demonized”. I’m sure the leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation or the organizers of DC40 will not accept responsibility for this man’s actions, but they are the ones preaching violence against everyone they disagree with, calling them all “Satan” and the Antichrist.

Anonymous Film Review by Dr. Bob Hieronimus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The wait is over! The new Roland Emmerich film, “Anonymous”, has opened in theaters and is bringing to the mainstream audience the question: “Was Shakespeare a Fraud?” It’s one of those questions that until you examine it closely sounds completely absurd. We are all so completely indoctrinated in school that to question the identity of the greatest writer in the English language is tantamount to blasphemy. On the other hand, those brave enough to examine this question closely quickly realize that the hard evidence available to disprove the man named William Shakespeare was the actual author of the works bearing his name, far outweighs any evidence used to prove he was the author…. “Anonymous” will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, proposing that the real author was probably one of Queen Elizabeth’s illegitimate children named Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.

Gloria Steinem and Dr. Zohara Hieronimus

Dec. 4, 2011

 

At a gathering hosted by Gloria Stienem in her home, for the benefit of the Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898) Museum in upstate New York. The Gage Museum honors and celebrates the great suffragist’s leadership in equal rights for all humans, for the right to vote of women, African Americans and native Indians, for activities as an abolitionist as well as leading the movement of the separation of Church and State; believing in the sanctity of the sovereign human. These themes of sovereign freedom are the epicenter of Zoh’s long broadcast and writing history.  

 


Are You Familiar with the Jefferson Bible?

Jefferson was forever under attack because of his refusal to attend the church of the presidents. He was slandered as being an atheist during his political campaign, and the Federalists took advantage of this slur. Jefferson’s true religious beliefs were Christian in the broadest and truest sense of the word. Before retiring in the evening, Jefferson observed a daily ritual of reading something moral. For sixteen years he worked on compiling a volume he called The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, now known as The Jefferson Bible and more fully discussed in my 1975 and 1985 publications. He confided in few people about his studies, but in 1816 Jefferson wrote to Charles Thomson: “I too, have made a wee little book . . . which I call the philosophy of Jesus; it is a paradigm of his doctrines. . . . A more beautiful or precious morsel of ethics I have never seen; it is a document in proof that I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.”

Dr. Bob first-ever inductee to The International Fortean Organization Hall of Fame

Dr. Bob Hieronimus was a presenter at the 56th Phenomenal Conference on Anomalous Phenomena sponsored by the International Fortean Organization’s Fortfest 2011 on May 14, 2011.

After showing his film called “Artist of Savitria” produced in 1971 by Maryland Public Television, Dr. Bob gave a brief talk entitled “The Apocalypse Is Not the End of the World”. Based in part on the “Apocalypse” mural featured in the film, Bob’s message is that history is cyclical: civilizations rise and fall across the eons of time. Whatever earth changes or calamities arise in 2012 or at any time before or after, the Earth will still be here long after the human race. “The Earth doesn’t need us,” he reminded us.

After his presentation, he was surprised to be awarded this certificate from Phyllis Benjamin, who told him he was the first inductee into their new Fortean Hall of Fame! As she told us in a follow-up Email: "We were honored to have you be the very first inductee in the Fortean Hall of Fame which includes John Michell, John Keel, Colin Wilson, Lyle Watson and Gerald Hawkins. Would we could clone you. I know you and Zohara's work will abide and will be a shining example to us all."

William Donald Schaefer – a Man of Rebirth

A Tribute from Dr. Bob Hieronimus, 21stCenturyRadio.com

William Donald Schaefer was all about rebirth. And I don’t mean just what he famously did for the renaissance of the City of Baltimore. He had a deeply spiritual and almost mystical side to him that few would ever see. His vision for the future was as distant as his appreciation for the far distant past, and his underlying goals and motivations were towards a future of “one people, one planet.” His support for the Baltimore Sister City relationships with Alexandria and Luxor, Egypt brought forth memories of his possible previous lifetimes in Egypt, something he shared with me as only one of a handful who could appreciate such a statement. Who knows what he discovered in his consciousness when working on Baltimore’s other successful Sister City unions with places in the Ukraine, Greece, the Netherlands, and China. Don Schaefer was never one to slow down. As a local artist, I was one of many who first noticed William Donald Schaefer when he was on the City Council and the sponsor of the “1-per-cent-for-art” clause in municipal building contracts. Politicians in support of the arts is such a rare thing...

William Donald Schaefer for Mayor

In 1969 artist Bob Hieronimus and a group of a dozen other young spiritual seekers moved into a rundown mansion in the Coldspring area of northwest Baltimore.  They formed Savitria (“House of the Sun”) and the AUM Center, which was approved by the Maryland State Board of Education to offer certificates in religious metaphysics, occult science and mystic arts.  Despite the admonition against getting involved in politics taught by the Western Mystery Tradition that was fostered at Savitria, Hieronimus couldn’t help but admire the President of the Baltimore City Council William Donald Schaefer when he sponsored the One Percent for Art clause in municipal building contracts.  When he met Schaefer at a fundraiser and was asked to design a poster for his mayoral campaign, he agreed, despite the disapproval of the other leaders at Savitria.

Bob Patterson photo of Bigfoot Recently, a new attempt has been made to debunk one of the most famous images of Bigfoot in the world. The Roger Patterson-Bob Gimlin film taken on October 20, 1967 in Bluff Creek California has been carefully analyzed for over 30 years, and this is just one of many attacks on its credibility by debunkers. Ironically, however, this latest attempt to call this film a hoax has earned little, five-foot-five ME, a footnote in Bigfoot history!!! Believe it or not, the man who has so-called "gone public" to say it was really him dressed up in a gorilla suit in this famous film, is named none other than "Bob Heironimus"! He spells it a little differently, but it's obviously causing a good deal of confusion out there, so here's my official statement on this case: That was NOT me!!! That's right, the "Bob Heironimus" claiming to be the man in the Bigfoot suit, is NOT the same "Bob Hieronimus" who has interviewed countless Bigfoot researchers about this very film and other cases on his 21st Century Radio(r) program! Ironic coincidence??? You decide. As unusual as my name is, I have been confused with at least three other Bob Hieronimi in this world, so this is not the first time I've been accused of doing something I had no knowledge of!

Special guest Roland Griffiths, Ph.D - Lead Investigator of Psilocybin Research at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Griffiths and his co-researchers have published research indicating psilocybin can occasion mystical-type experiences having substantial and sustained personal meaning and spiritual significance.

They are seeking volunteers with a diagnosis of cancer to participate in a scientific study of states of consciousness brought about by psilocybin, and their impact on psychological distress and spirituality. Other studies need volunteers who want to quit smoking or practice meditation facillatated with psilocybin and counseling in a controlled environment.

Soon after the publication of Dr. Bob Hieronimus’s book, The United Symbolism of America, he enjoyed a private tour of the actual Great Seal press and the comprehensive and beautiful exhibit on the history of the Seal.  Invited by Senior Curator, U.S. Diplomacy Center Dr. Priscilla Linn, to view the exhibit called “Celebrating the 225th Anniversary of the Great Seal of the United States: Past, Present and Future,” Dr. Bob was also specially treated to a demonstration of the Great Seal in action.  Sharon Hardy, Chief of the Office of Presidential Appointments, Bureau of Human Resources, demonstrated the Seal press with an actual Presidential document, which she made official by imprinting on it the Great Seal of the United States.  Ms. Hardy is the official custodian of the Great Seal, and each year, she and her staff imprint seals for between 2,000-3,000 documents, including presidential commissions, diplomatic envelopes, and treaties.

The U.S. has never cut a die for the reverse, but its image appears on the back of the one dollar bill.

Thank you to everyone who posted birthday wishes for me on Facebook (and sent cards and Emails)!

Happy Birthday! Thank you to everyone who posted birthday wishes for me here (and sent cards and Emails)! My family knows I take birthdays very seriously, celebrating for weeks in advance. I’m sorry I’m not on Facebook much, and don’t post immediate responses, but that’s the way it is with the promises I made this lifetime. It won’t surprise some of you to learn that I have lived many lifetimes as a soldier, including my last lifetime during the American Revolution, when I paid the ultimate sacrifice and died in battle even before the Declaration of Independence was signed. This lifetime I was allowed to serve our beloved nation in the capacity of educator, artist, and author, and within these boundaries I am still motivated to serve every waking moment challenging the forces bent on destroying our Constitutional Republic.

Click either image below to see the full-size letter

Ever since it was announced that Disney and director Robert Zemeckis are planning on a 3-D motion capture remake of The Beatles Yellow Submarine movie (slated for release in time for the London Summer Olympics in 2012), Dr. Bob Hieronimus has been hard at work to see that the original co-creators of this film get some recognition out of this new project. He sent a copy of his book, Inside the Yellow Submarine: The Making of the Beatles Animated Classic, to Zemeckis with the suggestion that at the very least a private preview screening of the remake for the original co-creators would be one way to pay homage to their efforts. Here is the response from the president of Image Movers Digital, and partner of Robert Zemeckis. We will post any further communication we have with this office, in our attempt to ensure the creators of the new film give public acknowledgment to the creators of the original film.

The Lost Symbol : Virgo / the Goddess?

Dan Brown's unforgettable protagonist, Robert Langdon, goes on a twelve-hour adventure through Washington D.C. in The Lost Symbol. The follow-up to The Da Vinci Code is also packed with symbols and secret codes, this time of our nation's capital and the Freemasons who conceived and built it.

Hidden Meanings of Common Symbols

Dr. Robert R. Hieronimus and TELESMA
Saturday, November 14, 2009
The Windup Space, 12 W. North Ave., Baltimore
8 pm (doors open at 7 pm)

See the presentation from Dr. Bob at the opening

See the online version of the Gallery

See the Exhibit Catalog

A portion of the proceeds to benefit Station North Arts & Entertainment, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Dr. Robert R. Hieronimus will demonstrate the Hidden Meanings of Common Symbols in conjunction with a performance by local band TELESMA at The Windup Space on 12 W. North Ave. in Baltimore on Saturday, November 14, 2009, 8 PM. Decoding the reverse of America’s Great Seal as a symbol for the God within and the connection to higher consciousness has been the life work of Hieronimus. (He first contacted the State Department about that mysterious eye and pyramid on the one dollar bill in 1968!) Thanks to the best-selling ability of Dan Brown, tens of millions of readers are now being introduced to Hieronimus’s work in the form of Brown's new novel, The Lost Symbol.

On November 14th, Baltimore music fans and art lovers will hear a personal explanation of how our nation’s most common symbols ultimately point to the same thing: unity, balance, and attaining a state of higher consciousness. Learn how to decipher symbols for yourself. After his presentation, Dr. Hieronimus and assistants will create a symbolic mural to the transformative music of TELESMA (www.TelesmaMusic.com).

Selections of Hieronimus’s 40 years of symbolic art will be on display at The Windup Space from November 1 through December 31, 2009 (opening artist’s reception on Friday November 6 from 7-9 PM). Also on display will be selections from the rock and roll celebrity photographs of Stuart Zolotorow. From Brooks Robinson to Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Willie Nelson, Zolotorow has photographed and published some of the legends of popular music and sports. Cultural heroes and mythology are essential to the health of stable society, and Zolotorow’s photos of our contemporary heroes remind us all to aim for the stars and that our purpose in life is to change the world.
