The Da Vinci Chronicles

The Da Vinci Chronicles

(an alien trilogy.)

By Yaphet Kotto

Review By Bernon Goldstein

J. Edgar Hoover's obsession with blacks was well-known. In 1956, in the wake of the Supreme Court's school desegregation decisions, Hoover fought with Attorney General Brownell over Brownell's proposals for new civil rights laws and enforcement provisions. Hoover declared that ``the specter of racial intermarriage'' was behind the tensions over ``mixed schooling,'' and he attacked the NAACP and other civil rights organizations, while defending and praising the White Citizens Councils in the South. It was also in 1956 that Hoover launched the FBI's COINTELPRO (Counter-Intelligence Program) which targeted civil rights groups and leaders, among others.

When the investigation of Aliens invasion came up, even the old-line Southern agents were bowing and bestowing on Mr. Roman anything his ‘wonderful’ African American heart desired.

So when Mr. Roman walked into the secret offices of the safe house and started shaking hands with the twelve senior agents.  The supervising agents of the team, Special Agent Fenton Connor pretended to welcomed the black agent.  "Whatever you need the team is with you, we’re all for one and one for all..." came the smiling Irish blarney from the agent who had been Primary on the UFO cases and sat on information concerning a Creole woman, catholic nun Lilith Stacia, of the Franciscan order AKA Medina Banneker. Making certain UFO reports on her never went public

Review By Virginia Scott

The Dogon Listening Woman of Africa says that her mission in life is ". . . to convert man to his inherent divinity,. to baptize him in the perfection of his soul and to initiate him into the consciousness of his oneness with God, more truly, into the full cognition of his absolute godliness." So this book, like Yaphet’s recent journey, is written "to awaken man to truth." There are Aliens living among us..

His style is well suited to an exposition of the X- Files-neither too involved for pleasant reading nor too simplified to explain principles which often require the use of similes and metaphors. Color is added by the occasional use of parables, and many of the individual sentences express so much that they are suitable for meditation.

In the introduction it is stated that "The path of the X-Files is the path of pure espionage, alien investigation. Sometimes it is called the path of wisdom." On this path one does not study the relationship of Alien and man because ". . . it is based upon the premise of absolute truth that Men and Aliens are identical. According to the scriptures man is God, and God is man. The question of relationship arises only in the state of duality."

Neither does this story deal with creation, nor with any relative state of consciousness. "It takes for its subject matter the reality of Aliens among us. Society comes within the scope of the relative... In the universe we are to ask about Self, the Spirit, the Absolute. In it we have no right to raise such questions as Why do we have a body? Why do we die? Where do we go after death? What causes suffering? Here we are to devote ourselves to gain the knowledge and realization of the Alien, who is bodiless, birthless, deathless, omnipresent, conscious and blissful."

UFO sighting in Marmora

Yaphet Kotto writes about the owner of a farm in Canada where 30,000 have traveled in homage to true believers,  in his brand new novel ”I don’t want to be told I’m seeing things”  He asserts firmly that the miraculous “Miracle of the sun" that occurred for 14 years and continue to take place was in fact a UFO sighting..

The farm, located in Marmora, Ontario, about 120 miles east of Toronto, has been the site of numerous claims since 1991, when phenomena erupted during a reunion of those who had journeyed to the famous apparition site of Medjugorje in former Yugoslavia.

The farm was owned by John Greensides, who died several years back, and his wife, Shelagh, 80, who is in the process of turning the land over to Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.

Yaphet reports that the local diocese based in Kingston has refused to offer an

official comment on the site, according to a diocesan spokesman, although a warning was issued from a bishop during the 1990s on the potentially harmful effects of staring at the sun. Kotto says that they are not staring at the sun.”My wife and I filmed the event, it’s silly and unscientific to believe that the sun can fly out of orbit, spin around, dive and then fly back into the sky. I’ve said this before and I will say it again in my book that documents other UFO sightings. Marmora is one of the strongest proofs in Canada, that we are not alone.”

Yaphet Kotto Biography

Yaphet Kotto

The eternal force, the only real substance of the Universe, God, the original thinker, or in other words, the eternal joy and the force of free will which manifested the first born thought and omniscient feeling, a certain Sound which we would learn later on to be called the Word, or for some the Amen and for others still, the Aum which led to the idea of change in that which could not be changed, which meant Time for some and the idea of division in that which could not be divided, and for others it gave birth to what many if not all would refer to as Space.

The ensuing idea of the word issuing forth, the idea of rapid expansion vibrating until it exploded and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. Some have decided to call this event:

The Big Bang.

It may seem to some unusual for some that these ideas spring from the mind and beliefs of Yaphet Kotto, an African American actor. Yaphet was born in New York City, the son of Gladys Marie Joseph, a nurse and army officer, and Abraham Kotto (originally named Njoki Manga Bell), a businessperson from Cameroon.

By the age of 16, he was studying acting at the Actor's Mobile Theater Studio, and at 19, he made his  acting debut in Othello. He became an observer at the Actors Studio in New York. Appeared in countless off-Broadway productions, Broadway and then replaced James Earl Jones in The Great White Hope, which brought him such attention it was almost as if he had starred in the original production.

Yaphet’s  film debut was in 1963 in an award winning film Nothing But a Man  but it might have been 1964 when he played a supporting role in the 1968 Norman Jewson’s  caper film The Thomas Crown Affair that led him to star in ‘Across 110th street with Anthony Quinn. The performance brought him to the attention of United Artist executives who thought he should be cast to star in the James Bond thriller as the lead villain ‘Mr. Big in Live and Let Die, another fine performance that not only cause Kotto be internationally known buy changed the motion picture industry’s ideas of black men as it was a first time a Black Villain had been seen on the screen in American film industry. Yaphet had already made film history when he killed a white man in the Columbia film ‘The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones” directed by William Wyler. He was single handedly changing the vision of black men on movie screens.  A decade later, change would destroy the image of the goody two shoes, good Negro  boy image created in films such as Lilies of the Fields, when Kotto played Parker in the sci-fi–horror film Alien, followed with a co starring role  with Robert Redford in the 1980 prison drama Brubaker, the black character was established. These performances opened the door of Sam Jackson, and Denzel Washington and Danny Glover. In 1983 Kotto came right back down to earth in the  sci-fi movie The Running Man and in the 1988 action-comedy Midnight Run, in which he portrayed Alonzo Mosely, an FBI agent.

As of this fate Yaphet has made more than seventy films and countless television shows the last of which was “Homicide life on the street" How does he hold it together and keep his feet on the ground. He has kept himself by meditation and Qui Gong practice, which he has practiced for the last thirty years. It was not an easy solution to the challenges of filmmaking. Kotto has always said that the easy road may not necessarily be the right road! He says that Qigong is not primarily meant for health and fitness. Although health and fitness is a bi-product of its practice. Qigong is meant to elevate your consciousness and help one to enlighten to higher truths of the universe.The fact that you have already been practicing Falun Dafa for many years is a great thing. He has thoroughly embodied its tenets of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance; as a result, he has seen great results in both health and mind. He has of this date has millions of people all over the world who know not so much from motion pictures but from his support of India Guru Parmahansa Yogananda’s work in America and his practice of Falun Dafa. (Read more)
