Diocletian's palace

After Istanbul, I flew to Split via Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. From Split, You can catch the ferry to the island of Brac where Evolution, a Hanse 350 is based. We are re basing her to Nidri in Greece, so this is the last time ( for awhile) that I will be in the beautiful town of Split.

Next to the harbour is Diocletian's palace which is a world heritage site. Despite that, it is being used for shops and hotels. So we were able to stay in a hotel built into one of the walls of the palace.

It was here that the emperor Diocletian retired. To his credit, he retired from being emperor of the huge empire. He must be one of the few emperors that retired. Before he retired, he split the empire into East and West, and appointed a junior emperor, so that in all there were 4 emperors in charge. Sharing power is an art and he was one of the few dictators that gave up his power peacefully.

On the downside, he was one of the worst persecutors of the Christians. What had happened is that, as normal for Roman emperors, he had consulted the Oracle. He received the prophecy that a small group of religious people would cause the collapse of the Roman Empire, which was now at its zenith. At the time it must have seemed incredible that such a small group could accomplish what so many others had failed to do. It did not take him long to figure out who the small religious group was - the Christians - so he set about eliminating them, I guess for the good of his empire and all the people that lived there.

So after checking out and before catching the ferry, we walked into the back of the palace where his living quarters were. I tend to see him living out his retirement rather like Marlon Brando did in the godfather. He died tending his tomatoes playing with his grandson. So this " monster" died peaceably, despite being the cause of so much pain and suffering for others. 

I set up the adam's Earth Grid on a wall, and activated the intention that all this old karma is released - That the Christian faith re unites east and west ( catholic and orthodox) before dissolving with grace and ease - and the New Era is manifested right here and now, where we live in peace and joy, knowing ourselves to be I AM with no more need for priests or religions, to " intercede" between God and us. We recognise our own divinity and the divinity of all things in Oneness.


We then left down an alley next to the Christian church that had been built on Diocketians mausoleum. The finish the story, when the oracles prophecy came true and the Christians took over after the Roman Empire collapsed, the Christians desecrated the emperors tomb, broke up his skeleton and distributed the bones to the far corners of the earth.
