DAVINCI CODE IN WINNIPEG

There always seemed to be a Unicity taxi cab waiting outside of the hotel. Most of my trips were positive and will tell the tales of others later. I went to the Legislative Building, that's one awesome piece of architecture. I met with Don Finkbeiner who represents Heartland International Travel & Tours for an Hermetic Code Tour. Like cracking the DaVinci code just about everything on the exterior and interior had a hidden meaning. Author Frank Albo wrote a book on this and I later had him on my July 16th radio show. It's all about numbers and the Freemasons.

As I approached the first thing I could clearly see were the columns and the carved figures along the dome as well as a gold figure of what looked to be the Greek god Hermes on the top. When getting a closer look, the naked statue is cast in bronze and plated with 21.5 -karat gold. He is holding a torch in his right hand and sheaf of wheat in his left.

The female figure of Manitoba rests in the middle with the other figures representing agriculture, art, industry and science as well as earth, water, fire and air. An Egyptian Sphinx lines the east and west sides to face the rising and setting sum with inscriptions that are only visible if you have a great pair of binoculars. These hieroglyphs say, "the good god who gives life."

Walking over to the left side rear of the building I could see two winged figures with what appeared to be an Ark of the Covenant in the middle.

Inside, Don pointed out how the numbers 3, 5 and 13 played a role. Things like 13 lights, bronzed bison that stood at the steps like the two lions at the New York Library, being 13 feet tall as well as sets of 13 steps. Up at the top of the stairs I could see a mural that seemed to depict a war. However, looking closely you could see that the wounded soldier appeared as Christ with a halo and a cannon that looked more like a cross. If you looked above that figure hard enough you could clearly see Madonna and the baby Jesus.

At the bottom floor there is a star. If you stand in the middle of the star and talk your voice echoes without and within. What makes it sound so odd is that your voice echoes in musical fifths. Talk loud enough and the entire building can hear your conversation.

We ran into some guy named Greg Selinger who turned out to be the Premier of Manitoba. I'm told that he's equivalent to a Governor.

The puzzle goes on but I don't want to tell all. My advice is to take the tour and then buy the book entitled The Hermetic Code.
