Archaeology and Anthropology

My name is Janet Matthias. Archaeology has always been a passion of mine. Since childhood I read National Geographic. At high school, we were fortunate to have a class in Archaeology and I took to it like nothing else. As life progressed, I studied, read, learned and dreamed of becoming an Archaeologist. At 23, I intended to go to Trent University to do this. I got sidetracked.

One of the best books was one called "The Practical Archaeologist". In it is outlined the fact that opposed to the layman's view of Archaeology being about "gold digging", it is actually the pursuit of information, solving the puzzle of who we are. I used to explain to people that a true Archaeologist knows that if they found a "golden idol" and a slip of paper, papyrus that proved some fact (like what people ate, what they knew, believed) the most valuable piece is the information opposed to gold. Yes, you could learn from inscriptions on the piece, or what it represents. But, it is only worth putting in a museum to raise funds and share with the public.

In my life, I may have been diverted, and did a lot of good, but I used the skill of the Archaeologist to unearth my own secrets, my life, and to learn not only who we are as a people or were, but who I am. Therefore, I am a successful Archaeologist and Anthropologist.

I am also a clairvoyant. I have used these abilities for good. Perhaps my life is about learning, putting the "big picture" together, the big puzzle. We are all part of this puzzle, the missing pieces give us things to do, more to learn on our journey.

My abilities, "powers" come from somewhere else - a place I discovered in a near death (well I was dead) experience. The door has been left open. In my previous lives, I had these gifts or curses - depending on how you look at it. There is more to this world than people realize. We are all together, we are all on this journey together.

I have a friend Gail that has saved my life, a man I love, Allan, a loving memory of my best friend Puddy, Puds, a family (though troublesome at times) that love me and I love them. I am part of this world, part of the other world. I can still live, love and laugh.

It is time to profess these things. To see my own worth and value. What others think does not matter. I am grateful to all of my teachers. As a clairvoyant I met others that guided me, I was taught about sociology, psychology, politics, literature, art, science, mathematics, music, sex, day-to-day life skills, communications, business, education, history, geology, geography, ecology, religions, technology, medicine, space, physics, quantum physics, abstract math, crafts. I am reconnected with my body (separated no more) and enjoy yoga, dance, tai chi, breathing, smiling, laughing, crying, speaking, blood flow. The knowledge of the power of the mind - witnessing and processing healings, changes, alterations to things people think are not possible. It is possible, it is.

I am what I am - as Popeye would say. And all the attempts to change this have failed. I love. We are love. This plane of existence is not the only one. We are eternal. We all know each other.

So, at this juncture, I am being "given it all back", my memories, my life. No more denying to fit in, no more bullies forcing their beliefs on me.

The world awaits. I embrace my own power. I am empowered once again.
