Baron Pierre de Coubertin established the principle of Olympic Art Competitions,
first presented during the 1912 Games in Stockholm, also named the
‘Pentathlon of the Muses’, with ‘art’ medals awarded in five categories:
architecture, music, literature, sculpture & painting.
The Arts were included in the Olympic Games right up to 1952.
The Podcast Olympics 2022 Handbook
First published back in 1990 as "Earthstars: The Visionary Landscape," Chris Street's astounding 300-page masterwork is now re-titled "London - City of Revelation" and is available both as a large format paperback and an e-version from
www.earthstars.co.uk
This book reveals a 400-square-mile Matrix of Creation groundplan covering Greater London, demonstrating something far greater than any human design, and leaving the reader in no doubt that a Great Plan is surely unfolding, with implications for a far brighter future for all of humanity. Extending far beyond London, what is revealed here is also a veritable Megalithic Internet mapped out in stone circles, mounds and monuments by our ancient forebears on every continent, fully tuned in to the Earth's harmonic grid.
"A remarkable book which explores London's spiritual dimensions from a visionary perspective.This book is an initiation into the Earth Mysteries. The Earthstars discovery reveals that London's sacred sites create a vast and complex geometric pattern on the landscape. A temple groundplan. The oldest example of a temple laid out to this design is Stonehenge, whose megaliths were set up 3,500 years ago. So London has its own vast version of Stonehenge, not built with sarsens and bluestones but with the stones of our ancient parish churches, and places like St.Paul's, Westminster Abbey and The Tower of London. According to the author, it is a multi-faceted phenomenon which can be understood in a number of ways: As Earth energies, it is a circuit diagram of the forces of creation at work within the land; the web of life and life-force of the planet. It represents the soul of the city and its spiritual dimensions. It is a "stargate" or planetary chakra through which a new evolutionary impulse of divine energy is being earthed. For those into Christian mysticism, it has remarkable parallels with the New Jerusalem, the City of Revelation, William Blake's visions and John Michell's work.
It's a ground-breaking book. The discovery is the largest, most complex pattern of landscape geometry ever revealed and has been described as the most important Earth Mysteries book since Alfred Watkins' first book on leys, The Old Straight Track." Starman
The former New Earth Olympics, founded in 2012 (hence www.neo2012.co.uk) has now grown into a worldwide initiative to restore the Arts to the the Olympic Games, where all the nations of the world play by the same rules in a mood of joyous co-operation. If that can be done for 2 weeks every 4 years, then why not apply our creative talents to making it happen 52 weeks a year, every year, for the sake of peace and harmony? Every ancient tradition in the world has prophesied that a time of great transition will come, when a world darkened by greed, fear, ignorance and environmental pollution will undergo a massive change and an upward shift into a far more enlightened state of consciousness for the greater good of humanity.
That time is now!
When creativity in mainstream education is running at an all-time low, the new Podcast Olympics first launched in 2021 looks set to redress the balance by bringing together and showcasing the very best of creative initiatives in both audio and video podcasting. While a competitive spirit may bring out the best in the field of sports, friendly co-operation and open, honest communication for the benefit of all is much more the spirit of the Podcast Olympics.
