              (Tia gets the
                      channeling session started)  
                      
                    
              Skip: hi sweetie.
              Tia: hey, how’s it going?
              Laura: hi.
              Tia: hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
                      hey, heeeyyy, hey. Okay, I’m here.
              Skip: we’re here.
              Tia: good, good, good, good, good,
                      good. Okay where do we start, where do we start?
                      Why don’t we throw the floor open and ask
                      questions.....well?
              Skip: you want to ask about that?
              Laura: yeah, I wanted to know about
                      Y2K......
                    
              Tia: uh-huh. 
                    
              Laura: like how should we prepare for
                      it in the best way?
              Tia: okay, the way that I see it in
                      your location, there won’t be too much of a
                      problem however there’s going to be more of a
                      financial thing and it will be rectified fairly
                      quickly because it involves vast quantities of
                      fiscal flow. The countries that should be
                      concerned are the ones that are less
                      well-developed, fortunately they’re not as reliant
                      upon computers as your current location. The
                      economic powers, most of them are pretty much
                      prepared however some of the other countries that
                      are involved that aren’t as prepared may cause
                      problems that won’t be noticeable at first. It
                      will be more of a cascade effect but it may be
                      handy to have a couple days supply of water
                      kicking around, a couple days of heating
                      equipment, eating materials just to be on the safe
                      side. You don’t want to take it to the extreme of
                      having three months of food supplies stockpiled. I
                      don't see it being much of a problem for you guys
                      but for other people in locations that are reliant
                      on computers but aren’t as technologically
                      advanced, it could be a definite problem. There
                      are businesses out there which have programs that
                      are very expensive to upgrade to be KY2 compatible
                      and those businesses will suffer. It will be more
                      along the lines of a cascade effect or
                      trickle-down effect where businesses and countries
                      that don’t have the wherewithal to be able to
                      upgrade as rapidly may have the problems. A lot of
                      businesses are already KY2 compatible, a lot of
                      government agencies do present a little bit of a
                      problem. The military has its problems but I
                      wouldn’t be too concerned about that……..that’s
                      better. Also civil aviation may have its problems
                      as they’re still working with equipment that was
                      put in in the '70’s but again they’re trying to
                      upgrade as much as possible. It is a major
                      undertaking and it does bear watching but it’s not
                      going to be as big a problem as people thought it
                      might be unless you are in less well-developed
                      countries.
              Skip: question darling…...
              Tia: uh-huh?
              Skip: the only thing that concerns me
                      and I’m sure it concerns a lot of people is the
                      electrical upgrade on the systems. They’ve
                      predicted rolling brownouts and blackouts all the
                      way across the country.
              Tia: that is possible, again it
                      depends on whether or not the software is
                      upgraded. There's a common misconception going
                      around and this is going to get a groan from the
                      computer people of the world that hardware is not
                      compatible. That is an erroneous assumption, it's
                      the software that is the problem. It is quite
                      possible that there may be brownouts, there may
                      even be blackouts but not on the scale that people
                      are predicting.
              Skip: okay.
              Tia: it will be in urban areas where
                      there is a need for upgrade as it were.
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Tia: and those areas are working to
                      upgrade as fast as they can.
              Skip: yeah, there was a special on our
                      television the other night about Social Security
                      bureau’s upgraded their systems.......
              Tia: uh-huh.
              Skip: but the people that write the
                      checks for the Social Security recipients are not
                      upgraded so we might not get our checks for a
                      while after the first of the year.
               Tia: it may be a few weeks to a month
                      but as I said, if you’ve got supplies standing by
                      you can always use them in the period whilst
                      you’re waiting for your fiscal income.
              Skip: uh-huh, uh-huh. I was just kind
                      of curious because I was figuring on stockpiling
                      at least a month.
              Tia: if you want to it might be handy
                      to have it just to be on the safe side for other
                      problems.
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Tia: I mean you never know when
                      something’s going to happen that you may need that
                      month’s supply.
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Tia: besides, it makes it unnecessary
                      to go down to your…..what you call them?
                      Stores......your shops….
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Tia: to buy food if you’ve got some
                      already stockpiled. Yeah for example, if there was
                      a major earthquake and the roads were cut……..
              Skip: yeah or if we come to a
                      revolution.
              Tia: uh-huh, yeah uh-huh.
              Skip: yeah.
              Laura: so in another words, it’s not
                      going to be like a major world disaster like some
                      have predicted it is.
              Tia: in some locations it will be,
                      other locations it won’t be. I see that in the
                      more technologically advanced areas it would not
                      be.
              Laura: so for instance, Germany,
                      France, all those, they won’t be as affected will
                      they?
              Tia: no, no but the countries around
                      them, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland might be.
              Laura: yeah.
              Skip: because they’re not as
                      technically advanced as we are.
              Laura: what about Russia?
              Tia: Russia, oh Russia
                      yes......Russia, we can open a whole can of worms
                      there and go on about that for a long period of
                      time, long period of time. Russia has its unique
                      problems where it has the upgrades are already in
                      place and in some cases it was unnecessary because
                      the thinkers earlier were already aware of the
                      situation and 10 or 15 years ago planned
                      accordingly. There are other problems where
                      they’re working with two sets of software
                      side-by-side in different computer languages and
                      they’ve integrated them however one set is
                      compatible with KY2 or K2Y or whatever you guys
                      want to call it……year 2000
                      problem………and the other set of software is not so
                      you have an interface problem that is going to
                      cause the difficulty of the communication between
                      the two systems and that’s where a problem can
                      occur.
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Laura: uh-huh, what about the defense
                      system?
              Tia: defense system? Again they have
                      those problems but the former Soviet Union,
                      Russia, all those areas are not as evolved so that
                      they will have the problems there. But the
                      problems that I see concerning directly your
                      immediate existence is not that big but for those
                      countries such as the former Soviet Union, all
                      that area does present some problems especially in
                      the capability of its military. Especially with
                      some of these systems that they use as I stated
                      that work on different languages that are
                      interfaced where one set of software has
                      compatibility and the other set of software
                      doesn’t.
              Laura: uh-huh.
              Tia: and one's reliant on the other
                      and so on.
              Laura: okay.
              Tia: Mir
                      is a prime example of that where you have three,
                      no two different sets of software and one set of
                      software is compatible and the other set isn’t,
                      you have problems.
              Laura: so what are your predictions
                      about the Kosovo
                        deal right now?
              Tia: oh the Kosovo deal, the bane of
                      my existence at the moment. Well, it’s a very,
                      very tricky situation, one that bears watching.
                      Okay, they are going into a new phase of
                      readiness……..okay let’s start off with some
                      history, a little history lesson. In that area you
                      have many different ethnic groups which everybody
                      is aware of. You have the Croats, you have the
                      Serbians, you have the Muslims, you have the
                      Christians, you have all these different religious
                      ethnic groups. The Albanians, the ethnic
                      Macedonians……oh Macedonia is an interesting place.
                      Quick historical question that is open, name one
                      of the most famous military leaders in the last
                      3,000 years.....give you a clue, he’s a Macedonian
                      and I’ll rule out a few people for you. Napoleon,
                      Peter, Catherine the great, Peter the Great.
              Russ: Alexander the great.
              Tia: that’s correct, he’s a
                      Macedonian, they’re a very warlike people.
                      Macedonians are sitting patiently on the sideline
                      watching. The problem is that nobody has been able
                      to defeat the Yugoslavs. They’ve invaded them,
                      they’ve had armies stationed there, Suleiman
                        the Magnificent attacked there and conquered
                      parts of it but was not able to hold it. Adolf
                      Hitler sent in 10 divisions or a quarter of a
                      million men to pacify the area. Uh-uh, failed.
                      These are just two individuals that have tried to
                      pacify that area in the last 600 years.
              Russ: World War I started there.
              Tia: correct, in Sarajevo. It is a
                      very volatile place. When they had the
                      assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in I think it
                      was June or July 1914, that opened up a whole can
                      of worms and the Austria-Hungarian Empire went to
                      war with them and Germany sided with them and
                      France, Russia and Great Britain sided against
                      them and we all know what happened by the end of
                      1918. So, with this historical knowledge and each
                      country that has invaded there was at the height
                      of its technological advancement, the superpower
                      of the day. Much like the United States and NATO
                      is now, the superpower of the day. None of those
                      superpowers of the day could beat them. Sure, they
                      could held armies there but there was always
                      continued guerrilla action. The terrain is so
                      rugged that it is very hard to get in with
                      aircraft, military personnel, you can hold an army
                      up with a few hundred men in the passes there.
                      Even with modern equipment, they can still be
                      bottled up by such things as rock slides,
                      avalanches, timber blocking the road which makes
                      them very vulnerable. Some of those passes are
                      very narrow. So you’ve got these
                      superpowers trying to enforce their ideal of a
                      moralistic ideal on a country that doesn’t want
                      it. Certainly, and I will quote, “Slobodan
                      Milošević is a very nasty dictator, very nasty”. But
                      the people that are loyal to him are fanatical,
                      they will fight and do whatever he wants. So, with
                      NATO being involved and bearing in mind the past
                      track record of these groups of individuals, the
                      problems that I see is that the ethnic cleansing
                      is being accelerated by the attacks, by the air
                      attacks, the air assaults and the clampdown that
                      has recently occurred on the press and also the
                      fact that men of combat age are not being allowed
                      to leave the country suggests that the country is
                      mobilizing. A lot of these people are willingly
                      joining the fight in their ideal of ethnic
                      cleansing. There is also over a quarter of a
                      million individuals on the move fleeing from the
                      fighting and the bombing and so both sides are at
                      fault of creating a worsening situation. Certainly
                      Slobodan Milošević’s forces are being blamed for
                      killing people that are actually being killed in
                      the bombings by NATO and visa-versa. So the
                      situation is deteriorating at such a rate and
                      nobody is learning from past experience. All's you
                      have to do is look at the history of the area and
                      you can see what the problems were, what happened,
                      what’s going to happen with a high probability. My
                      predictions are that there will be an agreement
                      reached again much like Saddam Hussein, Slobodan
                      Milošević will back down temporarily, regroup and
                      then continue with his expansion. Now the latest
                      leaning is for Kosovo to become an independent
                      province. Well, they don’t want that, they will
                      not agree to that so therefore you get back to the
                      stalemate and the NATO forces will have to enforce
                      their will. This cannot be done solely by air
                      combat, it has to be done with forces on the
                      ground which opens up a new can of worms. Going
                      back to some earlier statements about armed forces
                      going into an area, it becomes difficult for them
                      to maneuver on the ground because of the terrain.
                      We can point to supposed situations where NATO has
                      intervened for example Bosnia where there is now
                      peace. Well if you do the research, you will find
                      out that most parties that were involved in that
                      combat before NATO arrived were actually at a
                      stalemate and had kind of solidified in a way
                      where they are now. NATO basically went in and did
                      nothing apart from run supplies and aid in the
                      supplies that needed to be shipped because of the
                      damage done from the fighting. Certainly there
                      were a few casualties created because of things
                      left over from the war such as landmines and
                      antipersonnel mines and Claymores and the
                      occasional disgruntled individual or groups of
                      individuals that were more interested in I believe
                      the term would be booty then doing the actual
                      fighting, using
                      terrorist tactics or bandit tactics to continue
                      their reign of terror so that they have money to
                      become more affluent. The same situation is
                      occurring right now in Kosovo, that the Kosovo
                      liberation front will become more active and be
                      supplied somewhat hush-hushly by various political
                      organizations throughout the world that see them
                      as the opportunity to create their own territory
                      and to use these individuals as a front for
                      testing out equipment, seeing what will happen and
                      making money. I think I’ve gone on quite long
                      enough. In essence, what will occur is that the
                      country will attempt to be partitioned, Slobodan
                      Milošević will agree temporarily, wait until
                      things quiet down, he’s in good health so he has
                      plenty of time to wait. And once things have
                      quieted down and NATO is busy elsewhere, he will
                      restart his actions and his expansionist plans and
                      try to take back what was originally his. Now if
                      we go back in time to Gen.
                        Tito who basically was a founder of
                      Yugoslavia or greater Yugoslavia which included
                      Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Yugoslavia and Kosovo
                      and Macedonia, you will be acutely aware if you
                      analyze his tactics that he was a very, very harsh
                      political leader. In fact he was
                      probably just as harsh as Slobodan Milošević and
                      to control a country like that you have to be
                      harsh but not the point of being into the ethnic
                      cleansing. Gen. Tito or Marshall Tito was not into
                      that, he was not into ethnic cleansing, he was
                      into maintaining law and order and control over
                      the area that he had established. After all
                      originally he was just a partisan leader. Slobodan
                      Milošević is a more sophisticated, militaristic,
                      ethnically leaning individual. Okay, got any
                      questions?
              Skip: no I think you’ve covered it
                      pretty well.
              Laura: yep.
              Tia: oh thank you, I try to be
                      detailed but not boringly detailed but I think I
                      got a little boring in places. Don’t all disagree.
                      
                    
              (chuckles all
                      around) 
                    
              Tia: okay
                      let’s move along and let’s answer some other
                      extraneous questions.
              Skip: no, not for me.
              Laura: no.
              Tia: okay.
              (Tia says goodbye in Durondedunn)
                      
                      
                    
              
              
              
              (Omal comes on to
                      finish out side two)
                      
                    
              Omal: greetings, greetings everybody,
                      greetings Russ, greetings Skip, greetings Laura.
              Russ: hi Omal.
              Omal: okay, how’s everything going and
                      I will address that problem. Okay, the question
                      was asked by Russ about the stock market reaching
                      10,000. 
                    
              (from
                        an earlier question that had been asked before
                        the tape started)
                      
              Omal: I’m
                      not a market analyst unfortunately but I will
                      endeavor to do my best. Okay I think that it was
                      certainly a significant milestone. It wasn’t the
                      first time that it’s happened, it’s been over the
                      10,000 I believe this is the second time. It has
                      been hovering around that area for some time. It
                      is definitely a very interesting milestone. With
                      the information that I have at hand, it would be
                      possible to speculate that it will continue to
                      climb over the 10,000 maybe closing over the
                      10,000 again and sliding back down the following
                      day as it has done today. It may climb even
                      higher, how high? As I said, I’m not a market
                      analyst so it is difficult for me to speculate but
                      reliable sources say with certain amount of
                      certainty that it will at some point sooner or
                      later close two, three or even four hundred points
                      above 10,000. Again I am not a market analyst and
                      I am speculating but with a certain amount of
                      certainty, there is continued growth but it is
                      slowing. The economic situations that I see may
                      start to take a turn for the worse towards the end
                      of the summer, the starting of fall. It would be
                      worth watching as fall approaches. Everybody talks
                      about the magic time in October which
                      traditionally stock market crashes have occurred.
                      Okay, without getting dry and boring, let us throw
                      open the floor to discussion and questions and
                      answers.
              Russ: well Tia was talking about the
                      Yugoslavia…..
              Omal: uh-huh.
              Russ: and one of the things we’ve
                      talked about before is the practice for the
                      dimensional shift that’s coming……
              Omal: uh-huh.
              Russ: and how there will be financial
                      problems here and there that will help out our
                      growth in getting to a higher consciousness
                      through the adversarial effects of that.
              Omal: uh-huh, you have learn’t a new
                      word have you not?
              Russ: one or two (chuckles).
                      Is what they’re going through in Bosnia and Kosovo
                      sort of practice for them, kind of their whole
                      mindset is changing toward that?
              Omal: unfortunately their mindset is
                      not changing, it is a situation as was stated that
                      is thousands, well hundreds of years old. It is a
                      situation that has been going on so long that
                      people have forgotten initially what started the
                      problems. It was not initially an ethic thing,
                      more of a tribalistic, religious problem. It has
                      now got to the point where nobody really remembers
                      what the initial problems were but it is now to
                      the point where it is a very ethnic, “my race is
                      better than your race, your race is lower than
                      mine, we will treat you accordingly.” 
                    
              Russ:  hmm.
              Omal: so for them it is not something
                      new, it is something that has been going on and
                      whilst it was under communist rule, it was
                      downplayed during the early '40’s and late '30’s.
                      It was again downplayed because of communications
                      weren’t there as much and then we can see as Tia
                      pointed out and you stated that in 1914 the first
                      world war started there but there had
                      been problems continually there for quite a few
                      hundred years. If you look at the area, it is a
                      very harsh and rugged area and if you go back to a
                      very famous individual that is now a character of
                      myth and legend, Vladimir
                        Dracule, you will see if you follow his
                      history that he was actually fighting the Muslims
                      and the Turks. 
                    
              Russ: hmm. 
                    
              Omal: so it is something that it is in
                      that area at least five, 600 years old.
              Russ: hmm.
              Omal: the unfortunate thing with
                      Dracule is that he is painted now as a devil
                      worshiper because of his practice of impaling
                      people. In fact he was a very pious and religious
                      Christian individual.
              Russ: well that’s too bad, you'd think
                      they would have some good practice now with all
                      the things that are going on there.
              Omal: yes.
              Laura: apparently no one's learned a
                      lesson or else we wouldn't still have wars.
              Omal: that is unfortunate but struggle
                      does serve a very useful purpose. It serves the
                      purpose of speeding up learning processes.
                      Certainly war is a very bad thing however from war
                      some major technological advances have occurred.
                      For example, computers, the microchip,
                      microprocessors, capacitors, transistors, medical
                      developments, jet engines, rocket engines, these
                      have all come from an accelerated process that
                      started in 1938 with the various rocketry
                      organizations, the Goddard’s and the von Braun’s
                      and all the other individuals that pioneered
                      rocketry. With the development of rocketry comes a
                      whole myriad of possible advancements that are now
                      necessary to accompany the advancement into space.
                      So to say that warfare is bad is correct but you
                      also have to look on the positive side of the
                      technological advancements that come
                      from that.
              Russ: thank you.
              Skip: uh-huh.
              Omal: as has been stated in the past
                      and I believe is a popular catchphrase, good and
                      evil, you can’t have one without the other.
              Skip: yeah.
              Laura: when you’re speaking of evil is
                      really just a transition.
              Omal: correct, it is a point of view.
              Russ: anyone else before I go on more?
              Skip: no uh-uh.
              Russ: okay Karra have been discussing
                      the chakras lately…..
              Omal: uh-huh.
              Russ: and did a little practice with
                      what she’s been teaching and one of the things I
                      wanted to work with you on is the crown chakra
                      because we dealt on that last week…..
              Omal: oh yes.
              Russ: working into my consciousness a
                      little bit. She mentioned how between the third and
                      the sixth dimension the chakra has such a change
                      of speed and opening…..
              Omal: uh-huh.
              Russ: how fast it opens and closes.
                      Well when she mentioned the fact that you could
                      work on bringing your chakra speed up, in practice
                      of that I’ve noticed that it does in fact bring
                      about a certain level of newer consciousness.
              Omal: uh-huh.
              Russ: but I also find that with that
                      you get rather dizzy.
              Omal: yes.
              Russ: now what kind of balance does it
                      take to maintain that speed and yet not get the
                      dizziness?
              Omal: okay you are increasing the
                      speed of just one chakra correct?
              Russ: correct.
              Omal: you have to do all chakras.
              Laura: in other words stay in balance.
              Omal: correct. Does somebody have a
                      clapper attached that light? 
                    
              (a bulb in the room
                      kept going on and off)
                    
              Skip: no.
              Omal: no, obviously not.
              Russ: okay, now bunefits to this….
              Omal: bunefits?
              Russ: benefits are quite obvious but
                      now is the speeding up of the crown chakra I guess
                      along with the others a doorway into higher
                      consciousness then?
               Omal: yes and no, yes and no. It
                      certainly is a doorway if you learn how to control
                      it and use it properly. Also if you have the
                      intelligence and the intellect to be able to
                      understand what is actually happening. If you
                      don’t and you accelerate and you have no
                      comprehension of what you’re doing, it is an
                      exercise in futility. If you don’t comprehend or
                      plan accordingly, what are you going to do with
                      the increase in awareness? Are you going to have the
                      desire to do anything with that increase in
                      awareness?
              Russ: hmm.
              Omal: so it is something that you have
                      to have the intellect and the intelligent
                      capability to be able to use it.
              Russ: I see, so it’s similar in ways
                      to meta-concert?
              Omal: yes but on a personal level.
              Russ: on a personal level, okay.
              Omal: it is more tuning your body and
                      mind. If you remember, it has been discussed in
                      the past that how can you extend your life if you
                      don’t have a healthy body and a healthy mind and a
                      healthy spiritual existence?
              Russ: hmmm.
              Omal: after all, you can have a
                      healthy mind that will run for an indefinite
                      period of time but if the body is not healthy,
                      then it fails. And you may be conscious and
                      aware……..
