Coincidences and Life

     Life and Coincidences - Part 2

   Much later in the 20th century, Dr. Paul Kammerer scientifically conducted his experiments for days and months by recording people’s talks and also noting down the details of their personality inclusive of their age, sex, dress or any other relevant characteristic thereof. Finally Dr. Paul Kammerer published his conclusions in the form of a book entitled, “The Law of Seriality”. In this book he had come to the conclusion that coincidences came in series and they were a kaleidoscopic exhibition of various unknown cosmic forces.

   After Dr. Paul Kammerer, two European minds combined their efforts. These two men were Wolfgang Pauli and the Swiss psychologist and philosopher Professor Carl Gustav Jung. Both of them deeply researched the controversial topic and concluded that coincidences were nothing but "the visible traces of the untraceable principles”. A single mysterious force at work in the universe tries to harmonize the disharmonized life. Thus it imposes its own discipline over the confusion and disorder of human life.

Wilhelm Canaris- Who was responsible for the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler (Part-2)

Wilhelm Canaris

   In 1929 Wilhelm Canaris met Goering, the right hand of Adolf Hitler. Goering brought him in Adolf Hitler’s contact. This helped Wilhelm Canaris to change into the Nazi way to thinking. He now fully devoted himself to the progress of the Nazi party and also of Adolf Hitler. He knew that the Nazi party would not be able to come to power so easily. His especially clever and tricky mind set to work on organized plans of overthrowing the existing ruling party. The first step was to make use of the espionage department of the Weimer Republic for the Nazis. This was a terrible action on his part. He sold several strategic war secrets to Italy and collected money for party work. Using all his espionage skills he prepared reports of all the high ranking officials of the Weimer Republic. He stole the secret documents of the Chancellor and it was on this basis that Hitler threatened to organize an uprising of industrialists and landlords against the proposal of land reforms. All this resulted in so much of confusion in Weimer that President Hindenberg decided to dismiss the Chancellor and Adolf Hitler was given that post.

   In spite of doing all this, Wilhelm Canaris never came to the forefront. He preferred to remain in the background. He neither took part in meetings nor was his name or photograph ever published in any newspaper. He always remained a figure shrouded in mystery. No room of the Secret Service Department had his nameplate. He never used the common exits or entrances. He entered the officers through a secret door. People working in the same office did not know where his seat was. For them he was an ordinary man who lived in a far off south corner of Berlin.

   First of all, we should understand, what is coincidence? How and why does it happen? So far nobody had been able to figure out the reasons behind them. Almost everyone has experienced the effects of this phenomenon in his or her life at one stage or the other and surprisingly enough, coincidences occur even in most insignificant things of life.

   A young ambitious actor was to appear before an interview board. It was a golden chance for him to prove his determination. But the book from which he was to prepare his role was not available to him. He searched for the book everywhere, but he could not find it. Ultimately, with great disappointment, that young actor was boarded the city bus to return home. In the bus a middle-aged man, who was carrying some book, stood by him. As the bus became over crowded, the man requested him to hold some books for him. But when he got down, that man just forgot to take back those books.

Wilhelm Franz Canaris

   The story of Wilhelm Canaris goes to prove that life can change its courses in very many surprising ways. Wilhelm Franz Canaris started life as an ordinary rating I the navy and was made an Admiral by Hitler in the year 1939. The reason for this was the role that he played by his espionage activities, which laid the foundation of Hitler’s rise to power. And only after six years of that, it was Hitler who ordered him to be put to death cruelly in the year 1945. This was because he had played a different role which put the last nail in Hitler’s coffin and as a result changed the course of history.

   On the 8th of April, 1945 at 5 a.m. a prisoner was brought to the Nazi Concentration Camp of Flossenberg in Germany. There was not a strip of clothing on his body which was covered with black and blue marks, evidence of cruel and horrible punishment inflicted on him. After a short while the Gestapo put him on the way to a slow and very painful death by butchering him with a thin piano wire wound around his neck. The horrified people watching this gruesome scene, were those who, only a few days before, had been saluting the prisoner every day. This prisoner was none other than the Nazi Chief of espionage-Wilhelm Canaris.

Strange Mysteries from Ancient World

   Now we will tell you another story from China, about a forgotten tomb.

The Forgotten tomb:

   It was the first day of the last month of the year 1952. Laborers were busy making sports field in the Jiangsu Province. Since the sports field was to be made for the Jingvi Middle School of Vixing city, the land was chosen very cautiously. The chosen piece of land was surrounded by an rectangle small hill and had four mounds. It was indeed difficult for laborers to remove the mounds. However, laborers were busy doing their work as usual. When suddenly, a labor shrieked with astonishment for his spade had struck a thin layer. There a hole was visible. Everybody peeped inside, and even in darkness they could see some peculiar objects inside.

   The inexperienced laborers were frightened. They quickly called the police. The police went down the small opening and announced to everyone’s surprise that a major archaeological discovery had been made. The place was sealed and soon archaeologists thronged the place. The excavation started and it became clear that the place was a tomb, and there were two tombs instead of one. The tombs had been built in a peculiar style. Each tomb had a chamber which had an arched roof and was constructed of wedge shaped bricks. On it there was a square slab. While some bricks covered the floor, the roof was covered with faces of animals.

The Spy Scandal of Group-47 in France

   A massive espionage activity was caught very gently

   By nature, the French are very liberal, tolerant and accommodating nation. Even in matters of espionage, they do not lose their heads, unless something very serious matter is involved. They also do not make noise over these matters. That is the reason that such a big spy scandal involving such a large number of people did not find much space in the newspapers during the time of cold-war.

   In April, 1983, forty diplomats posted at the Russian (Soviet Union) Embassy in Paris and seven other persons got orders to leaves France immediately. Amongst them was the First Counselor Nicholas Chetverikov. The French government charged that those people were all engaged in objectionable activity. They wanted to establish a purely leftist government in France.

   The giant glass slab discovered in a cave in Galilee (Israel) puzzled the modern man. The measurements showed that it was the third largest piece of glass ever made. The other two were made in 1934. This piece was 1,000 years old.

   So what was that giant glass slab doing in a cave? Who created it at that time and how the incredible feat was achieved?

   The other puzzling archaeological mystery is about the Chinese aluminium. It was discovered accidentally by the laborers in a buried tomb. And the mystery amazed archaeologists and scientists for quite some time, as it made historians reconsider historical facts all over again.

The Amazing Glass Slab:

The Giant Glass Slab of Galilee

   With the new archaeological finds, the mysteries of the past are growing more and more complicated. The 20th century man is astonished to know that even during earlier times, man was quite advanced and has left behind such stupendous artifacts and buildings which are, technically speaking, mysteries to this day. And one such enigma is the great glass slab of Galilee.

   Local authorities had decided to convert a cave at Beth she’arim into a museum. The cave generated a lot of interest and speculation because it was situated at a site of an ancient city, where the Jews were cruelly buried in catacombs. The soon began in full vibration. At the time of mining, the cave was used as a water tank and was badly silted up. A bulldozer had to be called to clear up the mess. The bulldozer had hardly started cleaning up when suddenly the machine stopped in the middle of the floor. A large slab had struck it. The authorities of the museum liked the slab and preserved it as an item of display.

   The cave that was newly turned into a museum was opened to public and surprisingly for years the slab was used as a stand on which the model of the building was pointed out. Visitors came and passed by the slab, noticing only the model. Thus the slab remained there for years unnoticed and neglected.
