To center oneself in 'Bibliomancy' is a good way of showing what an important flux or conduit our soul can be in taking all things into consideration rather than just what eyes or ears perceive, and mind or ego often insist is only reality to recent western theology. 'The Book of Answers' gives a short description of process we think will be helpful for learning to accept your soul does exist and wisdom doesn't always allow itself to be seen.

"How to Use Book of Answers 1. Hold closed book in your hand, on your lap, or on a table. 2. Take 10 or 15 seconds to concentrate on your question. Questions should be phrased closed-end, E.G. 'Is job I'm applying for right one?' or 'Should I travel this weekend?' 3. While visualising or speaking your question (one question at a time). Place one hand palm down on book's front cover and STROKE THE EDGE of pages, back to front. 4. When you sense time is right, open book and there will be your answer. 5. Repeat process for as many questions as you have.” (2)

My recommendation is to ask only important questions and make sure you have no other questions in your mind at time. In beginning to read a book it is good to do this and then record what you read and thought about contextual idea expressed. When you have read whole book turn back to what your first question was and see if you found most important part for yourself at that point in time. This will test your effectiveness in centering yourself as well as attuning with knowledge in books you read.

Many methods of intuitive thought are forms of divination. The common way we judge people by body movement and language has been very popular in sales as long as salesmen or saleswomen have been on this earth. Many top corporations ask astrologers to give their input on important decisions once they've narrowed their choices and contemplated their options. It is never a bad thing to have one's mind open to other possibilities and opportunities. However, over-dependence and reliance on such things will turn process into a fear-driven experience that has no freshness or attunement at all, and may lead to negative self-fulfillment. If you are doing Tarot readings for yourself or any one person it is said every two weeks is enough. Bibliomancy answers are different because Tarot integrates many aspects beyond your primary question.

The best part of whole book for me is bicycle. It has a chain drive mechanism that looks like a 19th century model of something he would have seen in future. His representation is not engineered so perfectly that he would have been able to inspect it however. It had no steering mechanism, for example. On top of original drawing that was discovered long after death of all parties is a childish drawing of a penis to look like a cat with legs. Still they don't actually use words to say he was 'gay' and we know he would say something about this if he was alive today. It is a certain thing about propaganda - great people become more manageable after they die - you can 'spin' their image to your hearts desire. In case of Jesus they make him over every century! I guess all priests abusing children across North America and court awards have made them a little sensitive - can you say risk management? Can you say hypocrites? They still exclude 'gays' from all sorts of things and marriage is just one of them. Maybe this is area 'master' Luca was most instructive to Da Vinci?! It is an area of their expertise but what Da Vinci was able to produce, is not.

"While they recognize unmistakable nature of this machine, few scholars who have examined drawing are decidedly reluctant to admit its antiquity. Since application of chain-drive goes back only to end of 19th century, they propose a dating of drawing within early years of present century. Such a hypothesis, however, collides with insurmountable difficulties: (1) The page in question remained hidden for almost four centuries, and it is unimaginable that 70 or 80 years ago a boy would have obtained from directorship of Biblioteca Ambrosiana permission to view codex, detach one or two of pages, and then draw upon them and glue them back again. (2) Even in that case, he would have drawn a bicycle of a type then existent, not one of wood with wheelbarrow wheels, {And this imaginary child academics try to say drew cat/penis, would have been a pretty smart kid to know name of Leonardo's pupil/model/lover. There is a small matter of his signature.} no means of steering, and teeth of central gear so squared off that they could not be fitted to chain. (3) The odd toothed wheels and chain coincide exactly with those drawn by Leonardo in Codex Madrid 1, folio 10 recto. (4) We cannot separate bicycle from other drawings visible in folios 132 verso and 133 verso of Codex Atlanticus. Actually they were drawn when pages were united at two halves of one page. Reuniting them, we see that another hand has drawn, also in pencil and from left to right, two pornographic drawings obviously meant as a joke, over which, on right side, is clearly written 'salaj', that is, Salai, name of Leonardo's pupil, model and servant...To become a reality, idea required final solution of some challenging problems such as matter of steering and adaptation of large squared off teeth with their jutting comers to links of chain… Salai entered Leonardo's house in 1490, aged 10.” (59)

How did Leonardo draw about half of design of such as bike? The best answer is that he looked into 'Philosopher’s Stone' of his patron/alchemist or he developed one of his own like Nostradamus. It is not an easy thing to do, but I think he could have done it. If he actually traveled through time he would have been able to draw a bike and many other things like his famous helicopter. When looking into a 'Stone' there are many confusing images of possible future and jumbled realities. We know that many within Catholic Church have studied these things (e.g. Aquinas) and that they know about 'Stone'. In recent times a Catholic cleric developed a Chronovisor in conjunction with top physicists including Enrico Fermi, according to one report I have seen.

We know they would have been very concerned about Leonardo telling world about many things he knew. The Gnostics were heretics because they said things like: 'The Original Sin that separates us from God is Ignorance!' Who is passing on whether or not you are a heretic because you believe in possibility of a 'Stone' today? Yes, most of society! Few have any idea of what an alchemist is or what contributions they've made to humanity, quantum physicists were called 'atom-mysticists' when they spoke of things chaos science and alchemy has studied for over 13,000 years. This is why we don't need an Inquisition. Because media and education system is more effective!

The titles and grandiloquent appointments of egotistical chest-beating ecclesiasts who follow in footsteps of money- changers whose tables Jesus over-turned in Roman-backed Temples are so fantastic that any impressionable person can easily think THEY must know! This is technique of 'The BIG lie!' If you make an ass of your true self (the soul) by saying you are 'Holy' and an 'Emperor', it is no matter. Just continue to add all nations and states you have under your control. Say you are sole representative of God on earth, and that universe revolves around you. It might work as well as saying disease comes from 'sins and demons' and 'women are harbingers of THE Original Sin'. Actually any human is able to know what Jesus called 'the living father within'. Are we really out of influence of 'Dark Ages'? I'd like to debate that with Pope or some other proselyte.
