Post 15. The Disappearance of Aviatrix Amelia Earhart on July 2, 1937 during Her Attempt to Circumnavigate the Globe from the Perspective of Inspired Sources

There has been much speculation and considerable effort expended over the years in attempting to solve the mystery of the disappearance of aviatrix, Amelia Earhart, and her navigator, Fred Noonan, during  their attempt to circumnavigate the globe in a twin-engine Lockheed Electra in 1937.   Up until July 2, 1937, the trip, generally, had gone well.  Earhart and Noonan had completed 22,000 miles of their round-the-world flight, and had only 7,000 miles to go before arriving at Oakland, California, the final destination of their journey.  However, they mysteriously vanished in the Pacific about nineteen hours after departing Lae, New Guinea on the Lae, New Guinea-Howland Island leg of their journey.  Howland Island is in the Phoenix Islands about 1,700 miles from Hawaii.  Therefore, it took a couple of weeks for ships to arrive at Howland Island and begin a large-scale search.   An intensive search was carried out for Earhart, Noonan, and the Lockheed Electra by the US Navy for several weeks.  But no trace of the aviator, her navigator, or their aircraft was ever found. 

The Lae, New Guinea-Howland Island leg of the flight was over 2,500 miles-one of the longest of Earhart's round-the-world flight.   But no problems were reported on this leg until Earhart tried to contact the US Coast Guard cutter, Itasca.  The latter had been stationed in the vicinity of Howland Island to provide communication and navigation assistance for Earhart's flight.  It was at that time that Earhart discovered that though she could send radio (voice) transmissions to the Itasca, she could not receive radio (voice) transmissions from the Itasca.  Following a final voice transmission sent by Earhart to the Itasca about 20 hours after take-off from Lae, New Guinea, Earhart and Noonan and the Lockheed Electra  were never heard from or seen again.  There is reason believe that a radio antenna mast on the belly of the fuselage of the Lockheed Electra was torn loose during taxiing prior to the take-off of the aircraft from Lae, New Guinea.  The loss of the attached antenna wire during the take-off may have prevented the aircraft from receiving radio (voice) transmissions from the Itasca. 

There are many theories concerning the fate of Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan, and the Lockheed Electra that they used in their attempt to fly around the world.   Most of these theories may be found in the many books that have been written on the life of Amelia Earhart and the many articles that have appeared on the internet concerning her disappearance in 1937.  But the mystery concerning Amelia Earhart is larger than, simply, her disappearance.  In order to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in this larger sense, we will travel a road that has not been traveled by any of those who have proposed theories to explain the disappearance of Earhart.  With regard to these theories, mentioned above, only one will be addressed here because it is the one that seems most likely to be correct, or partially so.   In addition, it is the theory that seems most  capable of serving as an introduction to the larger mystery concerning the disappearance of Earhart, Noonan, and their Lockheed Electra.  This theory is sometimes referred to as the Nikumaroro hypothesis.

The Nikumaroro hypothesis proposes that Earhart and Noonan, unable to find their intended destination, Howland Island, came across uninhabited Nikumaroro (Figure 1).  This atoll, then called Gardner Island, was located about 400 miles south of Howland Island, and like Howland Island, was an island of the Phoenix Island group.  Here, low on fuel, they made a safe forced landing on the reef that surrounds Nikumaroro.  This was possible, because at this time on the atoll, it was low tide and much of the reef was exposed.  In addition, in contrast to present conditions, much of the reef on the southwestern part of the atoll was covered with sand at that time.  This may have allowed the aircraft to make a safe landing.  After this, Earhart and Noonan then lived as castaways on the atoll for several months.  However, their existence on Nikumaroro  probably was far from idyllic.  There is no water on the island except that which falls from the sky as rain.  Therefore, though they may have lived several months on Nikumaroro following their arrival, their lives probably were an unrelenting struggle to overcome hunger, thirst, and disease. 

The inspired sources (Figures 2, 3, and 5) that will be discussed in this post of the blog, support the Nikumaroro hypothesis up to this point.  However, the inspired sources also reveal that Amelia Earhart, apparently, did not die as a castaway on Nikumaroro.  But, before discussing the evidence that supports this view, it will be necessary to discuss inspired sources, in general, and their significance to man.  The first discovery of a cultural artifact  that could be considered to be an inspired source took place only recently-in 1996.  Since that time, tens of thousands of inspired sources have been discovered.  By means of the symbolism present in inspired sources, they are capable of revealing knowledge on a variety of subjects-including the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.  This will become more evident as we study the inspired sources designated Figures 2, 3, and 5, in this post, which pertain to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

The first inspired source that will be discussed in this post is designated the inspired source, "The Lockheed Electra" (Figure 3).  This inspired source is a photograph of Amelia Earhart and her Lockheed Electra taken by an unknown photographer of the Miami Herald in 1937 after Earhart arrived at the Miami Municipal Airport on her round-the-world flight.  Like all inspired sources, Figure 3 possesses alignments.  And it is by means of alignments, alignment points and the anomalous features associated with the latter that the unusual symbolism of inspired source is expressed.  When interpreted correctly, this symbolism reveals knowledge concerning matters that the Creator must feel are important for man to know at this time.  This knowledge, along with the means by which it is derived (alignments, points of alignments, and associated anomalous features), is believed to be inspired by the Creator.  And the Creator, in this context, is believed to be the Triune Godhead of Christianity, that is, the Father, the Son (the Word), and the Holy Spirit.

The second inspired source that will be discussed in this post is basically the same as the first.  It is designated the inspired source, "The Lockheed Electra" (Figure 2).  This inspired source is the same as Figure 3, mentioned above, except that the alignments of Figure 2 are not drawn, as they are in Figure 3.  The purpose of this is to ensure that the view of  small features of the inspired source is not obscured by the alignments.  Sometimes the study of these small features is necessary in order to correctly interpret the symbolism of an inspired source.  The third inspired source that will be discussed in this post is designated  the inspired source, "The Map" (Figure 5).  The symbolism of this inspired source reveals that the actual destination of the Lockheed Electra on July 2, 1937, in the eyes of the Creator, was Nikumaroro, and not Howland Island, or some watery grave in the Pacific Ocean.

The photograph of Earhart and the Lockheed Electra, designated as Figures 2 and 3 in this post, may be found in an article by Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald that pertained to the disappearance of Earhart and Noonan in 1937.  This article,  apparently, has two titles both of which were used on the internet.  The first title, dated June 28, 2014 is entitled, "Piece of Metal May Offer Clue to Disappearance of Amelia Earhart's Plane.  The second title, dated July 3, 2014, is entitled, "Could Photo Be Missing Clue to Earhart's Disappearance."  In this article, Mr. Garvin refers to a photograph taken of Earhart's Lockheed Electra parked at Miami Municipal Airport in 1937 on her round-the-world flight.  The aircraft clearly has what appears to be a rectangular aluminum patch on the right side of the fuselage near the tail. When she began her journey in Oakland, California, a plexiglass window was in place here.  Mr. Gavin suggests that this patch, of which there apparently is no record of it being installed in Miami, was a temporary replacement of the plexiglass window, which may have been damaged during a rough landing by Earhart at another Miami airport that she used, when she first arrived at Miami. 

The significance, or possible significance, of this aluminum patch is related to an 1991 expedition to Nikumaroro by members of TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery).  Searching for clues to the disappearance of Earhart, members of TIGHAR found among the ruins of an abandoned settlement on the atoll a piece of aluminum scrap 19 inches wide and 23 inches long with four precisely measured rows of rivet holes, similar to those found on the aluminum skin of an aircraft.  It should be noted that this settlement was not present on the atoll in 1937, when Earhart and Noonan are believed to have arrived.  In fact, at that time no one had lived on Nikumaroro since the nineteenth century.   Resettlement of the atoll began in 1938, and the it was inhabited from 1938 until 1963.   In 1963, however, it was abandoned because of drought conditions and, once more, became an uninhabited atoll.  Some members of TIGHAR feel that the scrap of aluminum, mentioned above, may be the aluminum patch that was attached  to the Lockheed Electra in Miami in 1937, and was used as a temporary replacement for the broken plexiglass window.  If the rivet holes of the scrap of aluminum, one day, are found to match up with the rivet holes of the aluminum skin of the fuselage of Earhart's Lockheed Electra- information that may be capable of being derived from old photographs of the aircraft and the use of sophisticated computer technology-this may be conclusive evidence that the latter made a forced landing at Nikumaroro in 1937.   

With regard to the other title of Mr. Garvin's article, "Could Photo Be Missing Clue to Earhart's Disappearance?",  this title, it is believed,  can be viewed as having two meanings.  In this context, two photos, not one photo, are involved.  The photo referred to in the title not only refers to the photo taken of the Lockheed Electra parked at Miami Municipal Airport with an aluminum patch visible covering the right rear window of the aircraft, but also refers to another photo that is one of several that accompanied the article and can be clicked on or off.  This photograph is the one designated Figures 2 and 3 in this post.  The writer believes that it is primarily this photo, and not the other photo, that is the photo that contains the "missing clue to Earhart's disappearance."  Subtle plays on words, such as this, are not uncommon in inspired sources, and reveals that words, as well as images, can be inspired by the Creator.  Therefore, if Figure 3 is a "clue" to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the alignments and symbolism that are present in Figure 3 may be the means by which this clue concerning the disappearance of the aviatrix can be revealed. 

But how can the alignments and symbolism of Figure 3 reveal information concerning the disappearance of Amelia Earhart?  This involves, it is believed, finding alignments in a cultural artifact, whose alignments points are collocated with anomalous features.  When the latter are interpreted correctly, they will be found to possess, not only an individual symbolic logic, but a collective symbolic logic that applies to the other alignment points of the alignment, as well.  These principles apply to all inspired source, including Figures 3 and 5 of this post.  Therefore, Mr. Garvin and the unknown photographer who took the photograph designated Figures 2 and 3, can be viewed as instruments of the Creator in revealing the clue (the photo) that will enable man to fully understand the mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and the significance of it. Likewise, the members of TIGHAR who have been involved in the uncovering and sifting of facts concerning the disappearance of Earhart on Nikumaroro, or elsewhere, can be viewed, similarly, as instruments of the Creator, as well.  We shall now begin to address the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in the  Pacific on July 2, 1937 from the perspective of inspired sources, which in this post are designated Figures 2, 3, and 5.  

After the Lockheed Electra with Earhart and Noonan aboard made a safe forced landing on the reef of Nikumaroro, it is the writer's opinion, based on inspired sources, that Fred Noonan died sometime after this.  The partial skeleton of a castaway was discovered on Nikumaroro in 1940 by a British coconut harvesting expedition, placed in a box and taken to Fiji.  In 1941 these bones were examined by a local doctor.  He concluded that they came from a short stocky man.  These bones later disappeared.  However, an analysis of the original paperwork was done by two forensic anthropologists at the request of TIGHAR.  Based on the paperwork (not the bones, themselves), they concluded that the bones actually belonged to a woman, most likely of northern European descent, who stood around five feet and seven inches tall. 

If the analysis of the two forensic anthropologists is correct, it would seem highly possible that the bones referred to above belonged to Amelia Earhart.  In this case, one could assume that Noonan died first and was buried by Earhart.  Then, the latter died a short time afterwards.  About three months after the disappearance of Earhart and Noonan on July 2, 1937, two ships of a British expedition arrived at Nikumaroro, took photographs of the atoll from aboard their vessels, and went ashore for a short while.  They were not searching for Earhart and Noonan, and no evidence of their presence on the atoll was reported.  However, one of the party aboard one of the ships took a photograph of the SS Norwich City, which had been wrecked on the reef of the southwestern part of the atoll in 1929.  In the photograph, an anomaly can be seen sticking out of the water nearby that many feel resembles part of the landing gear of a Lockheed Electra.  However, later photographs of this part of the atoll does not show this anomaly.  If the latter actually was a part of the landing gear of the Lockheed Electra, it must have been carried by high tides and surf over the reef, where it plummeted down the steep slope of the reef into deeper water.  The location of this anomaly at the south central part of the atoll was about the same place that it is believed the Lockheed Electra made its forced landing.  Many members of TIGHAR are of the opinion that the same fate that befell the anomaly, mentioned above, also befell the aircraft, itself.  If this is correct, the aircraft may be still be waiting to be discovered in the deeper waters beyond the reef.  

Because neither Earhart or Noonan were discovered by the British expedition, one could assume that they both had died of hunger, thirst, or disease before the arrival of the expedition.  However, as we shall see, this assumption is only half correct.  One of the two did die.  But, the other left the atoll alive.  It is the opinion of the writer that only Fred Noonan died on the atoll, and it was his partial skeleton that was discovered in 1940.  As for Amelia Earhart, it is believed that she survived and found a means of leaving the atoll.  However, this opportunity occurred only moments after the death of Fred Noonan.  Normally, one would expect that Earhart would have buried the body of Noonan.  But something must have taken place at that moment.  Something extraordinary caught her attention.  Consequently, she left the campsite and the body of Fred Noonan to investigate.  After leaving the campsite, circumstances would prevent Earhart from ever returning.  Therefore, Noonan's body would remain at the campsite until his partial skeleton was discovered in 1940. 

What caught the attention of Earhart, it is believed, was a small disc spaceship hovering above the trees of the south central shore of the atoll.  Based on archaeological surveys of TIGHAR carried out at what is called the "Seven Site," it appears that this may have been the campsite of Earhart and Noonan.  The Seven Site is located on the northeastern part of the atoll.  Therefore, Earhart would have walked from the campsite along the northeastern shore of the atoll, around the eastern end, and along the southeastern shore to the south central shore of the atoll.  This distance is about 3.7 miles, and considering the excitement that she must have felt at this time, she probably walked fast and soon arrived at the place where the spaceship was hovering.  When she arrived and stood as close as she dared to the hovering vehicle, she probably was rendered unconscious and taken aboard the spaceship by means of a transport beam that enabled living entities and objects to be transported to and from a hovering spaceship through an opening at the bottom of the vehicle. 

If a small disc spaceship was involved in the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in 1937, one would expect that this would be symbolized in the inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figures 2 and 3).  As a matter of fact, a disc spaceship is symbolized in this inspired source.  It appears as an anomalous feature.  This anomalous feature does not appear to have any alignments associated with it.  But it exists all the same as an anomalous feature that resembles a disc spaceship.  It can be seen adjacent to and beneath the belly and right engine of the aircraft.  The left half of the disc spaceship is the same anomalous features that symbolizes Nikumaroro.  The center of the disc spaceship is the same anomalous features as the three small black boxes, which, in another context, will be discussed, shortly.  However, in the present context, the three small black boxes can be viewed, symbolically, as three windows of the spaceship.  The right half of the disc spaceship is an anomalous feature that is similar in configuration to the left half of the spaceship.  Its right extremity is marked by the belly radio mast of the aircraft.  

In addition, immediately above the anomaly that resembles a disc spaceship is another anomalous feature that is a caricature of the head of a person.  This anomalous feature is associated with the belly of the aircraft.   Here, two eyes and a slightly opened mouth are clearly visible.   It may be noted that this head, though associated with the belly of the aircraft, is joined to the anomalous feature, mentioned above, that resembles a disc spaceship.  This head, it is believed, symbolizes Amelia Earhart.  Therefore, Amelia Earhart is linked with the disc spaceship.   And if one looks carefully, he may even see a slight resemblance between the anomaly referred to as the head and the facial features of Earhart.       

When she awoke, Earhart was aboard the spaceship.  While unconscious, she had received medical treatment and had been given nourishment.  Therefore, she probably was capable of comprehending her circumstances to some degree.  She may have remained aboard the spaceship for several days until her health and strength had been restored.  During this time, she may have been given instruction in the use of certain instruments that are referred to in this blog as the instruments of mystical particle transfer.  These are three in number and are portable, being capable of being used by one person as he moves about.  Additional information concerning these instruments may be found in the blog entitled, Inspired Sources and Man's Destiny, Volume I.  As explained in the latter blog, these instruments make it possible for one to descend into the interior of the earth.  They have been used by man on many occasions in the past in carrying out a kind of activity referred to in these two blogs as transfer activity.  Transfer activity involves the transfer of people of past cultures and civilizations on earth to a grottobase of an advanced interstellar civilization located in the interior of the earth.  After A.D. 1500, this activity is believed to have ceased, except in certain cases, and Amelia Earhart may have been one of these.

When Earhart had completed this instruction and was strong in spirit, she probably was returned to the place on the atoll where she had been taken up into the spaceship a few days before.  This was also near the place, it is believed, where the wheels of the Lockheed Electra first touched the exposed reef at the time of the forced landing of the aircraft.  This time, the spaceship did not hover.  Instead, it landed on the shore.    Therefore, Earhart departed the vehicle in the normal manner rather than by means of a transport beam.  During her time aboard the spaceship, she had been given a mission and purpose to accomplish.  However, before the living entities aboard the spaceship departed the atoll, and Earhart could begin this mission, the living entities, in Earhart's presence, probably, subjected her to post hypnotic suggestion-like mind control techniques that caused her to have no conscious memory of the events that took place between her first sighting of the spaceship and her last sighting of the spaceship.  In addition, she may have been instructed not to return to her former campsite.  It may have been important that Noonan remain unburied there until his partial skeleton was discovered in 1940.  

After the spaceship had departed, Earhart, it is believed, discovered the three portable instruments of mystical particle transfer.  They probably were placed where they could be easily found by her on the south central shore of the atoll by the living entities aboard the spaceship. As noted previously, these instruments are referred to in this blog as the helmet, the breastplate, and the sword.  Although she probably had no conscious memory of the instruction that she received aboard the spaceship concerning these instruments, she still possessed a subconscious memory of this instruction.  Therefore, she soon, by "extinct," learned how to operate these instruments and begin the first step of her journey on the mystical pathway.  A total of three steps were involved in her journey on the mystical pathway.  At the conclusion of the third step, she would arrive at a grottobase located in the interior of Nikumaroro, where living entities of an advanced interstellar civilization dwelt.  This grottobase, it is believed, was located somewhere within the extinct volcano that underlies the Nikumaroro atoll.  Here, it is believed, the living entities dwelling at this grottobase received her in friendship and made her an associate member of that civilization.

In the inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figure 3), four alignments (A, B, C, and D) are present, which, it is believed, possess a symbolic context.  These four alignments shed light on Nikumaroro atoll, the disappearance of Earhart and Noonan, the instruments of mystical particle transfer, and the mysterious underworld of Nikumaroro.  With regard to Nikumaroro atoll, the terminal points of alignments A, B, C, and D (A4, B3, C3, and D4), it may be noted, intersect at a place on an anomalous feature of the inspired source that resembles the left side of the head of an elephant with its trunk extended.   This anomalous feature also resembles an aerial view of Nikumaroro atoll.  In this regard, the intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D can be viewed, symbolically, as occurring on the south central shore of the atoll. This anomalous feature is more clearly seen in Figure 2 where it can be viewed without the hindrance of alignments.  The top of the anomalous feature that resembles Nikumaroro symbolizes the south shore of the atoll, while the bottom of this anomalous feature symbolizes the north shore of the atoll.  Likewise, the left aspect of this feature symbolizes the east end of the atoll, while the right aspect of this feature symbolizes the west end of the atoll. 

The place on the anomalous feature where alignments A, B, C, and D intersect, as noted above, symbolically, is located on the south central shore of the atoll.  Near here, it is believed, is the place where Earhart forced landed the Lockheed Electra on the exposed reef on July 2, 1937.  Because it was low tide at the time of the forced landing, a safe landing was possible.  However, after about five days, high tides and surf, apparently, carried the aircraft to the edge of the reef, where it slipped off and descended hundreds of feet into the deep water beyond the reef.  After this, Earhart and Noonan were no longer able to use the radio to make distress calls, and they became true castaways on Nikumaroro.  Of course, the radio appears to have been  partly inoperative prior to the forced landing.   Some faint long distance transmissions were reportedly heard in the USA and other countries for five days following the disappearance of Earhart.  But the authorities involved in the search did not take these communications seriously.

The place on the south central shore of the atoll where alignments A, B, C, and D intersect, also symbolizes, it is believed, the place where the instruments of mystical particle transfer were left for Earhart to find by the living entities aboard the spaceship.  Of course, this did not occur until the time came for her to begin her journey on the mystical pathway.  As we shall see, three of the alignments of the inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figure 3) represent the three instruments of mystical particle transfer.  In this regard, alignment A represents the helmet, alignment B represents the breastplate, and alignment C represents the sword.  It is these three instruments that make possible a journey on the mystical pathway. 

As noted above, alignment A is believed to represent the helmet.  In a more symbolic context, it is Earhart's short hair at point A1 that can be viewed as actually symbolizing the helmet.  In this sense, Earhart's short hair is an anomalous feature that is collocated with point A1 in the inspired source.  Alignment A begins at point A1 located at the short hair of Earhart, proceeds to point A2 located at the left eye of Earhart, proceeds to point A3 located at the left point of the black tie worn by Earhart, and terminates at point A4 located at the intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D.  The left eye (point A2) and the left point of the black tie (point A3) are significant points because they indicate that the kind of mystical technology that Earhart employed was left-handed mystical technology.  Previous studies of inspired sources has revealed that this kind of mystical technology is associated with the use of left-handed mystical particles, Christ-like spiritual attributes, and service to the Creator. 

Turning now to alignment B, as noted above, this alignment is believed to represent the breastplate.  In a more symbolic context, it is the circular loop antenna located above the cockpit that can be viewed as actually symbolizing the breastplate.  In this sense, the loop antenna is an anomalous feature that is collocated with point B1 in the inspired source.  It is possible that the breastplate is a circular object worn on the chest.  If so, the loop antenna may closely resemble the breastplate, at least in outline..   Alignment B begins at point B1 located at the circular loop antenna, proceeds to point B2 located at the tip of the propeller of the left engine of the aircraft, and terminates at point B3 located at the place of intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D.  Turning now to alignment C, as noted above, this alignment is believed to represent the sword.  In a more symbolic context, it is the half-length of the propeller of the left engine, identified by points C1 and C2, that can be viewed as actually symbolizing the sword.  In this sense the half-length of the propeller is an anomalous feature that is collocated with points C1 and C2 in the inspired source.  It may be noted that the half-length of the propeller, mentioned above, closely resembles a sword. Alignment C begins at point C1 located high on the half-propeller, proceeds to point C2 located lower on half-propeller, and terminates at point C3 located at the place of intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D.

Although it is assumed that Earhart discovered the instruments of mystical particle transfer at the place on Nikumaroro symbolized by the intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D in the inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figure 3), it is not certain where on the atoll she went to operate them.   If this place was the same place where she found them, then the initial direction of her entry into the interior of the earth would have been in a northwesterly direction toward the northwestern end of the atoll.  This will be made more clear when we study alignment D.  At the northwestern end of the anomalous feature that resembles Nikumaroro atoll in the inspired source, it may be noted that three anomalous features are present that resembled three small black boxes.  These three anomalous features are not, symbolically, considered to be a part of the above-sea level areas of  Nikumaroro.  Rather, they are, symbolically, considered to be part of the below-sea level areas of Nikumaroro, where the ocean, reef, and descending, sloping sea floor beyond the reef exists.  Here, also, the mystical pathway would be expected to be found.  Although these three anomalous features are probably a hangar or some other building, located at a distance behind the Lockheed Electra in Figures 2 and 3, these three anomalous features are believed to have symbolic significance, as well.

These three black boxes, it is believed symbolize the three steps of the mystical pathway.  Therefore, the northwestern end of Nikumaroro may be the place on the atoll that those who were prepared to travel on the mystical road and possessed the means of entering the earth, discovered the first step of the mystical pathway. This would take him to his second and third step, and eventually to his destination-a grottobase located within the extinct volcano that comprises the underworld of the Nikumaroro atoll.  The only way to describe the part of Nikumaroro symbolized by the three  black boxes is by means of a map depicting soundings and depths below sea level.  Figure 4 is such a map.  Although the mystical pathway involves a descent- and probably a spiral descent-within the interior of the extinct volcano that underlies the Nikumaroro atoll, it is not known, for certain, at what depth the grottobase is located.  Neither is it known, for certain, how spaceships come and go from this grottobase, if indeed they do.

The inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figure 3) reveals that the three black boxes, mentioned above, are associated with alignment D.  Alignment D, therefore, is associated with the mystical pathway.  Alignment D begins at point D1 located at the black box furthest to the right of the three boxes, proceeds to point D2 located at the black box that is intermediate of the three boxes, continues to point D3 located at the black box furthest to the left of the three boxes, and terminates at point D4 located at the place of intersection of alignments A, B, C, and D.  In this context, the place of beginning of one who is prepared to take a journey on the mystical pathway is point D4.  Here, this person, as  Amelia Earhart did, would discover the instruments of mystical particle transfer.  After entering the interior of the earth, and proceeding in a northwesterly direction, the person would travel on the three steps of the mystical pathway.  These are designated D3 (the first step), D2 (the second step), and D1 (the third step) in the inspired source.  The points D4, D3, D2, and D1 are arranged in a straight line direction in the symbolic Nikumaroro  of the inspired source. 

This, it is believed, is capable of being directly applied to a straight line direction on the actual Kikumaroro.  This straight line direction indicates the initial direction of travel of one entering the Nikumaroro underworld on the first step of on his journey on the mystical pathway.  This straight line direction is orientated from the south central part of Nikumaroro to the northwestern end of the atoll. Somewhere along this line, it is believed, the person would begin the first step of his journey on the mystical pathway.  At the end of the journey, the person would arrive at a grottobase, where dwelt living entities of an advanced interstellar civilization.  The person, it is believed, would then be received in friendship and be made an associate member of that civilization. 

We have seen that the symbolism of the inspired source, "The Lockheed Electra" (Figure 2) seems to indicate that Amelia Earhart was delivered from a slow death on Nikumaroro in 1937.  Although we will not discuss spiritual cloning in detail in this post, by means of spiritual cloning, it is possible that Amelia Earhart, at the present time, may be in her second or third generation as a member of an advanced interstellar civilization.  But instead of operating primitive aircraft based on material technology, she probably is operating advanced spaceships based on mystical technology.   It is even possible that one day Amelia Earhart, and others like her, will return and help man develop an advanced interstellar civilization of his own.  This, it is believed, will be necessary in order to prepare man for the end of the present age and the beginning of the future age, or as the latter is referred to in Christian eschatology-"the age to come" (Mt. 12:31-32).  This subject, as well as spiritual cloning, is discussed in greater detail in  the blog entitled, Inspired Sources and Man's Destiny, Volume I.

depicts the route of Amelia Earhart's attempt to circumnavigate
the globe, and the final destination of that flight-Nikumaroro. 
Compare the calculated location of Nikumaroro derived from 
intersection of alignment A and Fred Noonan's Line of Position
of 337° and 157° at point A4 with the actual location of Nikumaroro
depicted on a map in Figure 6.  The two locations are the same.

In another inspired source, the inspired source, "The Map" (Figure 5), the beginning and end of the attempt by Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan to circumnavigate the globe is symbolically depicted.  A  line connects all the legs of the journey of Earhart and Noonan until the Lae, New Guinea-Howland Island leg.  Howland Island, the intended destination of this leg, could not be found by Earhart.  However, the inspired source, "The Map" (Figure 5), symbolically, depicts the actual destination of this leg of the flight, and that destination, according to this inspired source, was an atoll in the Phoenix Islands located about 400 miles south of Howland Island.  This atoll, of course, is Nikumaroro.  This is revealed by the intersection of the one alignment that is found in this inspired source and the line of position (LOP) calculated by Noonan of 337° and 157°.  This alignment, alignment A, is comprised of four alignment points.  Beginning at alignment point A1, located at the rear wheel of the small Lockheed Electra depicted near Oakland, California, alignment A proceeds to point A2 located at the right tail fin of the small Lockheed Electra depicted near Howland Island, continues to point A3 located at the rear wheel of the same small Lockheed Electra, and terminates at point A4.

 Point A4 is located at the intersection of alignment A and the  line of position of the aircraft transmitted by Earhart prior to the disappearance of the Lockheed Electra with Earhart and Noonan aboard.  The line of position, a term used in celestial navigation at that time, was calculated by Noonan at the time of sunrise, and for the Lae, New Guinea-Howland Island leg was 337° and 157° (Figure 6).  With the line of position centered on Howland Island and navigation accomplished by dead reckoning, if Earhart could not see the island at the time dead reckoning indicated that she should have, she would have flown along a heading of either 337° or 157° until the island was sighted and a landing could be made.  In this case, when the line of position was centered on Howland Island, it also passed through Gardner Island, which today is called Nikumaroro-a part of the Republic of Kiribati.  Therefore, it is possible that when Nikumaroro came into sight, Earhart chose to make a forced landing on this atoll rather than change headings from 157° to 337°  and proceed to Howland Island in an aircraft that was almost out of fuel.  However, what Earhart did not know was that although she was uncertain of her position, the Creator must have wished her to make a forced landing at Nikumaroro rather than land at the intended destination, Howland Island. This presumption of seeming to know the will of the Creator is based on the symbolism of the inspired source, "The Map" (Figure 5), which indicates that this, apparently, was his will concerning the matter.  In addition to alignment A, which is  associated with the two small images of Lockheed Electras depicted in the inspired source, "The Map" (Figure 5), there are other alignments associated with the large image of the Lockheed Electra depicted in the same inspired source.  The writer will not attempt to study these alignments.  But the reader may wish to do so.

Before concluding this post and this study concerning the disappearance Amelia Earhart, Fred Noonan and their Lockheed Electra on July 2, 1937, it may be useful to consider, once more, whether the bones of a partial skeleton discovered in 1940 on Nikumaroro were those of a man or a woman.  If they were of a man, as the doctor at Fiji claimed, they may have been the bones of Fred Noonan.  However, if the bones were of a woman, as the two forensic anthropologists associated with TIGHAR claimed, then they may have been the bones of Amelia Earhart.  In the first case, one would naturally assume that Earhart died first and was buried by Noonan.  After this, Noonan died, and it was his bones that were found in 1940.  In the second case, one would naturally assume that Noonan died first and was buried by Earhart.  After this, Earhart died, and it was her bones that were found in 1940.  However, the lack of a burial marker on the island for either Earhart or Noonan is puzzling.  This would seem to be something that would not be left undone by either one if his or her companion died.  This puzzling inconsistency leads one to suspect that perhaps one of them died on Nikumaroro and the other was rescued in a strange manner, such as that described earlier in this post, before he or she could bury the body of his or her dead companion and fashion a primitive tombstone.

Therefore, it is possible that when one of them died, the disc spaceship, mentioned previously, made its appearance at this time, also.  Then the remaining survivor left the campsite and the dead body of his or her companion, and proceeded to the place where the spaceship was hovering above the atoll.  However, we still do not know for sure whether it was Earhart who was the survivor and proceeded to the place where the spaceship was hovering, or if it was Noonan who was the survivor and proceeded to the place where the spaceship was hovering.  In the inspired source, "Lockheed Electra" (Figures 2 and 3), it may be noted that it is Amelia Earhart who is depicted with the Lockheed Electra.  In addition, it is she also who is associated with alignment A, which symbolizes the helmet, one of the instruments of mystical particle transfer.  Fred Noonan, however, is not depicted in this inspired source.  Based on these clues-the presence of Earhart in this inspired source and her association with the instruments of mystical particle transfer; and the lack of the presence of Noonan in this inspired source, and the lack of his association with the instruments of mystical particle transfer-it may be safe to assume that it was Fred Noonan who died on Nikumaroro and whose bones were discovered in 1940, while it was Amelia Earhart who was the survivor and was taken aboard a hovering spaceship shortly after the death of Noonan. 

It may be a mistake to assume that the reason Amelia Earhart survived was that she considered her survival more important than that of Fred Noonan's, and selfishly hoarded  food and water that was needed for the survival of them both.  It is possible that the living entities aboard the spaceship, as well as the Creator, observed them both during the time that they were castaways on Nukumaroro.  The Creator then may have chosen the one who was more compassionate toward his companion.  Therefore, in the end, it was not simply a matter of who was more capable of providing for his own physical needs, but who considered the survival of his or her companion to be just as important as his or her own survival.  Perhaps, the Creator, in the person of the Holy Spirit, and by means of the spiritual and technological powers of his material angels, was testing each during their time of trials on Nikumaroro-before opening the door of the underworld to the one who was the better servant of his companion.
