About the Author

For the past forty-eight years, Joseph Robert Jochmans has been an avid researcher into the mysteries of both the past and future, in pursuit of the forgotten wisdom of lost civilizations and the revelations of age-old prophecies from all corners of the globe.

Joseph has had two books published, lectured extensively both nationally and internationally, and has appeared in documentaries for the Arts and Entertainment Channel "Biography" series and on the History Channel.

Between 1981 and 1997 Joseph made fifty journeys world-wide—from Egypt to Easter Island, from Israel to Inner Mongolia, and from Tibet to Lake Titicaca—as part of his ongoing intensive studies.

During this period, he spent many hours lecturing to tour groups and carrying out his personal investigations among such ancient sites as the Great Pyramid and Sphinx in Egypt, Stonehenge and Avebury in England, Serpent Mound and Big Medicine Wheel in America, Teotihuacan and Palenque in Mexico, Temple Mount and Megiddo in Israel, Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo in Peru, the Shensi Pyramids and Temple of Heaven in China, as well Orongo on Easter Island, Cahokia Mounds in Illinois, Riurimu in New Zealand, Khutab Minar in India, Glastonbury in England, Tiawanaku in Bolivia, the Lhasa Potala in Tibet, the Temple of Saqqara in Egypt, plus countless other sacred energy points of the planet.

In addition, Joseph completed research in the Cairo Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Anthropological Museum in Mexico City, the Smithsonian, the British Museum, the University of Beijing and the Vatican Library.

What Joseph has gleaned and harmonized together from these various travels and sources is a single universal view of where humanity has been over the past eighteen million years, and what destinies we have the potentiality to yet fulfill in the coming ten thousand years ahead.

He has now successfully crystallized his experiences and learning—culminating over the last five decades—into a special series of works called the Time-Capsule Reports, now available through Forgotten Ages Research.

Joseph has found that because there is so much new information constantly coming in, new discoveries being made and whole new concepts developing in all areas of his studies, the Time-Capsule Reports offer the ideal format which allows him to continually expand and keep adding changes. In this way he can keep his published researches on the wide range of subjects he covers updated, refreshed and relevant.

This format also gives the reader a better opportunity to pick and choose which topics are of specific interest to you, and order them when you want. Click on to the Time-Capsule Reports Library and find the very latest listing of a wide range of written materials now ready.

Joseph presently resides in Lincoln, Nebraska where he continues to study, write and publish his findings on his web-site. He is also available for training individual students in performing earth energy work and planetary etheric structural engineering.

Personal Philosophy—Accepting New Truths

In Greek legend, the god Hermes is not only the deity of inspiration, the Divine Messenger, but sometimes he also acts as the Game Player, giving us important lessons to learn.

What truths Hermes offers us are like a deck of cards. Each card is filled with esoteric symbols, and as we work with these we begin connecting certain symbols with others, placing one card with another, eventually building a wonderful edifice—a house of cards which defines truth in a framework we can understand.

But just at the moment of self satisfaction, when we think we have neatly categorized everything, Hermes comes flying through and drops a whole new set of cards on top of our carefully constructed reality. Our house of cards tumbles down and we are left sitting amid the ruins with Hermes' laughter ringing in our ears.

However, looking around us, we discover the new cards left by Hermes, with their new symbols. We begin seeing interconnections with the symbols on the old cards—and soon we are once again building a structure, another house of cards, only this one bigger and more complex than before.

The moral of the story is, it is good to create a framework with the truths that are given us, for it helps us to better understand the reality we live in at the moment. But we must always make sure our framework is flexible, remembering that it may need to be completely altered as we learn more truths.

In the end, as Hermes keeps reminding us, no one is ever playing with a full deck of cards.
