Mount Shasta: A peak for Muir, mystics and mountaineers
MOUNT SHASTA: A PEAK FOR MUIR, MYSTICS AND MOUNTAINEERS

A group of climbers led by Shasta Mountain Guides leaves Bunny Flat to begin their ascent.
Mount Shasta was a great fixation for John Muir. He wrote extensively about the Shasta region, with perhaps the best distillation of his feelings about the majestic cone and its surrounding lands in his most famous quote about the mountain in “Letters: 1874-1888.”
“When I first caught sight of it over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, I was fifty miles away and afoot, alone and weary. Yet all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since.”
Muir isn’t the only person captivated by the mountain. From hikers to mountaineers, cyclists to rafters, skiers to lovers of the great outdoors — many are struck with reverence for Mount Shasta.
Kirin Hanay, 16, reads during a rest break while climbing Mount Shasta.
Spiritual seekers are attracted to the peak’s purported mystical power, and Mount Shasta has been labeled a cosmic power point, a UFO landing spot and even an entry point into the fifth dimension (or parallel Earth). And then there are the Lemurians — believed to be higher-dimensional beings from an ancient continent who fled to live inside Mount Shasta after getting into a war with the residents of Atlantis.

Regardless of what one believes about the mountain, it’s easy to see why it has so many legends to its name. One of the best ways to get to know the region is by getting into the outdoors, whether it’s to climb the massive snow-capped stratovolcano, camp in miles of national forest or hike on the many trails.
An easy option is the McCloud River Falls Trail — an easy 4-mile round trip that features three spectacular waterfalls. The trail begins near the Lower Falls and follows the river upstream to the Middle Falls. The steepest part of the trail is to the Middle Falls overlook, where hikers have views of Mount Shasta, Castle Crags, and other local mountains to the west.
Robin Kohn, who wrote the “Mount Shasta Guide to Fun” and is also a local guide, says one of her favorite hikes is a moderate 10-mile round-trip to the Deadfall Lakes and Mount Eddy.

The most famous event John Muir recounted from the time he spent around Mount Shasta was the snowstorm he encountered on the summit. Have your own adventure (preferably without the snowstorm), when you climb Mount Shasta. Don’t worry — you don’t have to go it alone. Shasta Mountain Guides and SWS Mountain Guides offer guided excursions to the summit, most of them via the spectacular Avalanche Gulch route.
My Alpine-style (two-day) summit ascent included ample time for snow school training, which covers ice ax and crampon use, as well as ice-axe self-arrest. Other options include expedition-style (three-day) climbs, slow-and-steady (four-day) climbs, and other routes to the summit — some of which require prior climbing experience and strong physical ability.
All the hard work was worth it to watch the sun rise from the summit of Mount Shasta. Muir had it right. I did not feel weary.

When I asked the Galactic Sentience (who is the present leader of the whole Galaxy) to save earth from nuclear annihilation:
He said "Yes" but asked to SEE through my eyes (which is a euphemistic way of experiencing what I experience and seeing what I see since that day in the early 1970s. At the time I thought it was a small price to pay for preventing the nuclear annihilation of my home here on earth.
However, I didn't understand time lines then because Elohar and Ragna whose first time line of earth had ended on 9-11-01 trained me about time lines and since I was already an intuitive like Elohar and a scientist by nature like Ragna it all worked out fine. But, since the Galactic Sentience told me I was one of the incarnations of his retired Grandfather which at the time early 1970s made no sense to me at all but does now.
But, in the early 1970s as an intuitive I already knew our timeline was going to blow up in a nuke as an intuitive I just didn't know when. When turned out to be 9-11-01 when 5 billion or more died and basically almost all died within a year or two and the only humans much left (most of them) were about like wolves from radiation and almost never lived beyond 30 then (except a few places like the high Andes parts of the Himalayas and parts of the Alps and places like this. Maybe there were people in the Rockies or the Sierras too that were high enough to survive the radiation which stayed in the air at least at lower altitudes and blew with the winds which were less higher in the mountains (at least the kind of air that carried high amounts of radiation).
So, Elohar and Ragna who came to me from 7028 first in 1969 on the first timeline from the location of what I call "The Crystal Palace" of King Interlaken of this area of what is now on the 2nd timeline Northern Italy and Switzerland because I found the location of the "Crystal Palace" on this timeline in 1999 when I went up in the mountains near Aoste, Italy in a rented Motorhome I rented in Munich, Germany with my then 10 year old daughter who is married and in her 30s now and my mother who was still alive and my son and his friend who were both 25 and his friend had just gotten his Bachelor's degree in Physics from UCSC where I also went to school. So, my mother and daughter met my son and his friend in Munich, Germany and rented a motorhome there and they had already been traveling around Europe on a Eurail pass for around 2 months by then in October of 1999. I and my daughter and mother had already been to London and Edinburgh. So, I found the "Dalai Lama Camping club" it was called then but now here in 2020 it is called "The Dalai Lama Village"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g736250-d1870724-Reviews-Dalai_Lama_Village-Chatillon_Valle_d_Aosta.html. So, if you want to visit where the Crystal palace is on the first timeline this is the place which is near Aoste, Italy in the mountains above there towards the Matterhorn a little.
We also visited Aviemore and the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland which is a really amazing place there in Scotland where there are reindeer in this area as well. My then 10 year old daughter loved this). I also bought a felt hiking gentleman's hat made of wool in Pitlochry so it won't ruin in the rain or mist which helps you keep warm in the mists of Scotland and places like that where it is misty and mystical and rains some. Also, it snows a lot in Scotland so be prepared for that if you go in the wintertime.
