Most people who encounter the Shingo site know the standard local legend: two earthen mounds in Aomori Prefecture, one claimed as the grave of Jesus, the other associated with his brother (often called Isukiri). The story, linked to the Takenouchi documents and promoted as village folklore/tourism since the 1930s, says Jesus escaped crucifixion, made his way to Japan, lived there for decades, married, had children, and died at an advanced age.
A less-discussed parallel appears in Thiaoouba Prophecy (Michel Desmarquet, written 1989; English edition later distributed via Inner Traditions / Simon & Schuster). In that account:
What makes the literary parallel interesting for alternative-history discussion is the context of the 1989 text:
The mainstream Shingo legend and the 1989 contact narrative are not identical (different names, different emphasis on who was crucified, different cosmological framing). Still, the geographic specificity, the two-tomb arrangement, and the “brother’s hair/relic in the second grave” element sit close enough to raise the usual alternative-history questions:
I’m not arguing the mounds are authentic or that the 1989 explanation is proven. I’m interested in how this community reads the overlap — especially the second-tomb / lock-of-hair detail and the dating/circumstances of the manuscript.
Sources for the physical site and standard legend are easy to find (village tourism material, Wikipedia “Kirisuto no Haka,” older Japan Times / Smithsonian pieces, etc.). The Thiaoouba passage is the additional layer most English-language discussions of Shingo never mention.
What do you make of the parallel?
I’ve been sitting with a passage from a contact narrative that feels strangely adjacent to things people here often report from NDEs — especially life reviews, the sense that the body is a temporary tool, and the idea that consciousness continues in order to learn.
In the account, the narrator is shown a series of his own past lives. I will quote from the book for the beings’ explanation below:
>We wanted to show you your past lives, that you might notice they vary, as though they were attached to a wheel. Because a wheel is made to turn, any point on it that is on top will soon be at the bottom—it is inevitable, do you see?
>“One day you are a beggar, and then you can be a queen, such as Labinola, who, of course, was not only at the top of the wheel but also learned a lot and greatly helped others. And yet, in many cases, a beggar will learn as much as a king, and in some instances, he will learn much more.
>“When you were an ascetic in the mountains, you assisted many more individuals than in most of your other lives. What counts most is not appearances, but what is behind them.
>“When your astral body takes on another physical body, it is, quite simply, to learn more, and even more . . .
>“As we have explained to you, it is for the sake of your higher self. It is a process of continual refinement, which can occur just as effectively in the body of a beggar as in that of a king or a miner. The physical body is but a tool. A sculptor’s chisel and hammer are tools; they will never reach beauty on their own, but they contribute to it in the hands of an artist. A wonderful statue could not have been created with the artist’s bare hands.
>“You should always bear in mind this main point: An astral body, in all cases must conform to Universal Law, and by following nature as closely as possible, it can achieve the ultimate goal by the fastest path.”
What struck me, reading it against NDE literature, is how close some of this sits to recurring elements many experiencers describe:
The larger book (Thiaoouba Prophecy) frames itself as a physical contact account rather than an NDE, and it goes into a lot of other territory (cosmology, ancient history, civilizational warnings). I’m not here to argue it is the same phenomenon as an NDE. I’m curious whether anyone else has run across contact or out-of-body material that treats reincarnation and the “wheel” of roles in a way that felt continuous with their own NDE or NDE-adjacent experiences.
Does this kind of past-life / refinement framing resonate with what you’ve read or experienced, or does it feel like a different category entirely?
(Interested in genuine comparison, not conversion, and the consciousness piece here.)
Looking for recommendations in a very specific type.
I recently finished a book that left me in an odd spot: it reads like contact / cosmological nonfiction, but the claims are so sweeping that part of your brain keeps filing it under science fiction. At the same time, it’s too detailed, too internally consistent, and too strange in its reception history to dismiss as ordinary genre fiction.
A few things that stuck with me:
I’m not asking whether the events “happened.” I’m asking for books that produce a similar effect:
I am already familiar with the usual UFO-abduction paperbacks and most mainstream ancient-astronaut titles. Looking for the ones that feel more unsettling than entertaining — the ones you finish and immediately check whether anyone else has tried to verify, debunk, or contextualize them.
What have you read that created that same “too real for fiction, too much for nonfiction” sensation?

There are only three books that ever compelled me to board a plane and cross an ocean solely to sit with the person connected to the text.
One journey took me to Germany, to the copyright holder of 334‰ Lies — an autobiography that claims to come from the former highest chair of a secret society founded on German soil. It details how the members cultivated psychic faculties, learned to perceive and interpret auras, employed numerology and a specific astrology to map probabilities of the future, and how the society itself moved unseen through the world. The author vanished in the summer of 2001. A few months later, 911 happened.
Another journey took me to Sydney to meet a woman who sees auras with such clarity that she once watched a grainy video of Chairman Mao and immediately named the man standing beside him a traitor — the same man who later betrayed Mao and fled China.
The third journey took me to Australia to meet Michel Desmarquet, the landscaper who wrote Thiaoouba Prophecy (I wrote the foreword for its latest English edition).
He completed the manuscript in 1989. It was published in 1993. At that time the remote region of Australia where he lived still had almost no internet. He was, by every account, a practical outdoor worker who neither used computers nor hunted through obscure archives. Yet the book contains a detailed description of the tomb of Jesus in the village of Shingo, Japan — a place he had never set foot in. Most people today still do not know that tomb exists unless they go looking for it.
I began the book as though it were an unusually vivid piece of speculative fiction. Somewhere past the three-quarter mark the tone changed. It offered an explanation for the complete absence of miracles in the years before Jesus began his public teaching, and for the persistent traditions that place him in India. That passage stopped me. Because I read Chinese, I was able to set the astronomical markers implied in the text against the ancient Chinese records. The dates for birth, crucifixion and resurrection align with specific recorded events. I placed the cross-references here for anyone who wishes to examine them: https://chinasona.org/Thiaoouba/Jesus.html
There are other fragments that a landscaper in late-1980s Australia had no ordinary means of knowing: the U.S. military’s Project West Ford, the antibacterial properties of certain wavelengths of blue light, and a precise account of how the Great Pyramid was constructed and what function it was actually built to serve. Certain passages also echo, in unexpected ways, material found in 334‰ Lies.
I am not asking anyone to accept the book’s claims. I am only saying that a man with no access to the usual channels of research produced a text that repeatedly touches knowledge that was either obscure, restricted, or not yet in circulation — and that some of those details have since been corroborated by independent sources.
The manuscript sits in that strange category of occult literature that feels less invented than uncovered. If you have read it, I would be interested to know which passage first made the ground shift under you. If you have not, the book is still circulating. Approach it the way one approaches any genuine grimoire: with patience, and with the willingness to notice when the text begins answering questions you did not realize you had asked.
Has anyone else in this library encountered a work that kept being right about things its author should not have known? I'd love to know.
Hello fellow keepers of the library,
I am the English translator of the obscure German book 334‰ Lies. I worked directly from the original German text years ago. The work presents itself as the autobiography of its anonymous author, who claimed to have held the highest degree chair in a secret society founded in Germany.
The book contains a substantial body of practical esoteric material: methods for developing psychic abilities, perceiving and interpreting auras, seeing into the past, and calculating probabilities of future events through a specific combination of numerology and astrology (It may be the reason why the Illuminati Card Game is so accurate in predicting future events). It also describes in detail how the society was structured and how it exerted influence. Toward the end, the author writes that an “anti-Christ” figure was attempting to seize his position and extend that control outward. The author is said to have disappeared in the summer of 2001.
I believe there is a direct textual link to the website illuminatiorder.info. On this page:
https://www.illuminatiorder.info/smaragdina23.htm
the following lines appear at the bottom with no translation offered on either the German or English versions of the site:
"Eli ecce ahab babilon
eabon Eli ide Eli uri che he
rab Eli Eli he artes are geo Eli"
The identical untranslated block opens the final chapter of 334‰ Lies. I have searched catalogues, archives, and the open web; this phrasing appears nowhere else I can find—only in the book and on that single page.
Because of this connection I am trying to learn whatever is publicly available about the registration history or successive controllers of illuminatiorder.info. My hope is that such information might lead to further knowledge about the author himself—whether he is still living and, if so, whether he continues to work in ways that benefit others. I am not asking for private contact details, home addresses, or anything that would constitute doxxing. I am only interested in open-source domain records, historical WHOIS data, archival snapshots, or bibliographic clues that remain in the public sphere.
I have already checked the usual public sources and reached dead ends. This community has a long tradition of careful work with rare, out-of-print, and difficult-to-trace occult texts. Many of you have shown real skill at locating obscure bibliographic and archival information while keeping the focus on the knowledge itself. If anyone has experience with late-20th-century German esoteric publishing, older European domain records, or simply a fresh set of eyes on the public registration trail, I would be sincerely grateful for any pointer.
I am happy to share the full list of searches I have already performed, additional excerpts that illustrate the textual match, or any other details that might help. Whatever light you can offer, I will return in kind within the limits of what is public and proper.
The digital traces of these older domains grow thinner every year, and the window for locating further material connected to this particular current may not stay open indefinitely. Any help the library here can give will be genuinely appreciated by someone who has spent years with this text and still finds the connection unexplained.
Thank you for reading, and for whatever insight or leads you may be able to offer.
Hello,
I am the English translator of the rare German book 334‰ Lies. I rendered the full text from the original German years ago. The anonymous author presented himself as the former highest-degree chair of a secret society founded in Germany. The work details the society’s internal structure, methods for developing psychic faculties, and systems of future-sight (similar to the Illuminate Card Game).
According to the author, he chose to reveal the secrets because an “anti-Christ” figure was attempting to seize his position and extend control outward.
I have found what appears to be a direct textual bridge to the website illuminatiorder.info. On this page:
https://www.illuminatiorder.info/smaragdina23.htm
…the following untranslated block appears at the bottom:
"Eli ecce ahab babilon
eabon Eli ide Eli uri che he
rab Eli Eli he artes are geo Eli"
The identical phrasing, with no German or English translation supplied, opens the final chapter of 334‰ Lies. I have searched extensively across the open internet, archives, and library catalogues. This specific language occurs nowhere else I can locate—only in the book and on that one page of the site. The German and English versions of the Smaragdina material on the same domain also omit any rendering of it.
I have already exhausted the usual public avenues (historical WHOIS, domain tools, archived snapshots, search engines, bibliographic databases). Every trail ends. I am not seeking private contact details, home addresses, or anything that would cross into doxxing or personal targeting. I am only trying to learn what remains publicly available about the registration history or successive controllers of illuminatiorder.info, and whether any open-source links exist between the domain and the book’s circle.
This community has long valued careful examination of symbols, texts, and historical currents connected to the Illuminati tradition. Many here have shown skill at tracing public records and obscure digital footprints while remaining focused on illumination rather than mere accusation. If anyone has experience with older European domain data, German esoteric publishing networks of the late 20th century, or simply a fresh eye on the public registration record, I would be grateful for any pointer.
I am happy to share the full set of searches I have already ruled out, answer clarifying questions, or provide additional excerpts that illustrate the match. Reciprocity works both ways—whatever light you can offer, I will return in kind within the bounds of what is public and proper.
The window for these older digital traces grows narrower with time; many early registration records are already incomplete. Any help you can give will be genuinely appreciated by someone who has spent years with this material and still finds the connection unexplained.
Thank you for reading, and for whatever insight the circle here can bring.
Hi RBI,
I’m the English translator of the obscure German book 334‰ Lies. I translated it years ago from the original German. The anonymous author claimed to have been the former highest-degree chair of a secret society founded in Germany. The book describes how the group supposedly trained psychic abilities and future-prediction techniques (similar to something called the Illuminate Card Game).
I’ve done extensive searching and keep hitting dead ends on the ownership of the website illuminatiorder.info. The reason I care is a very specific textual match that appears nowhere else I can find.
On this page:
https://www.illuminatiorder.info/smaragdina23.htm
…the following lines sit at the bottom with no translation provided on either the German or English versions of the site:
"Eli ecce ahab babilon
eabon Eli ide Eli uri che he
rab Eli Eli he artes are geo Eli"
The exact same untranslated block appears at the beginning of the final chapter of 334‰ Lies. I have never found this phrasing (or anything close) in any other book, website, or archive. Searches for fragments of it return only the book and this one page.
According to the book, the author decided to publish the material because an “anti-Christ” figure was trying to seize control of the society and, by extension, larger influence. The website presents material that appears to continue or parallel some of the same themes.
I have already checked the usual public sources (WHOIS history, archived pages, domain tools, search engines, library catalogues, etc.) and everything trails off. I’m not looking for private contact details, addresses, or anything that would violate the sub’s rules against doxxing or witch-hunts. I’m only trying to learn whatever is publicly available about who registered or has controlled the domain over time, or any other open-source connections between the site and the book.
This community has a strong track record of carefully digging into public records and obscure digital footprints while staying within the rules. If anyone has experience with older European domain registrations, German-language esoteric publishing, or simply has a fresh set of eyes on public WHOIS/archive data, I’d be genuinely grateful for any pointers.
Happy to answer clarifying questions or share more of what I’ve already ruled out. Thanks in advance for any help the group can offer.
I’m exploring whether a cinematic, narrative-driven mock documentary / limited mini-series is realistically achievable right now with current AI filmmaking tools and pipelines, and I’d value this community’s practical experience.
The project
Source material is Thiaoouba Prophecy (Distributed by Simon & Schuster, English edition). It’s a first-person contact / abduction narrative that has sold millions of copies in China and Taiwan and is available in 15+ languages. The story contains strongly visual, high-concept sequences that lend themselves to AI generation:
Tone sits at the intersection of spiritual sci-fi and mock-doc — closer to thoughtful speculative storytelling than pure spectacle.
What I’m trying to learn from this community
I’m the IP-side contact (foreword contributor and longtime advocate for the book) and can facilitate proper licensing discussions. This is not a paid job post or a request for free labor — I’m trying to gauge realistic feasibility and see whether any filmmakers or small teams already working in narrative AI would find the material and the collaborative structure interesting enough to explore further.
Happy to share a short non-confidential overview or visual references if useful. Equally happy to receive blunt technical feedback (“still too early for consistent 8–12 episode storytelling,” etc.).
Thanks for the focus this sub puts on craft, transparency, and narrative quality. Looking forward to any insights.
Hey everyone (and MrBallen if you're reading this),
First off — thank you for this incredible community and the stories that keep us coming back. I’ve been a huge fan for years because MrBallen has a gift for turning the strange, dark, and mysterious into absolute binge-worthy experiences. So when I find a story that feels custom-made for this channel, I have to share it.
Story Suggestion: "The Ordinary Man Taken to the 9th Planet" (Thiaoouba Prophecy)
In 1987, a regular guy named Michel Desmarquet in Australia is woken up in the middle of the night by a glowing being in his backyard. What happens next isn’t your average abduction story. He’s taken aboard an advanced spherical spaceship and spends nine days on Thiaoouba — a highly evolved "9th category" planet inhabited by tall, androgynous hermaphroditic beings.
His guide, Thao, reveals:
It’s the perfect blend of personal alien encounter, ancient mysteries, paranormal phenomena, and prophetic dark warning — all delivered in a first-hand account that’s wildly detailed and consistent. Imagine MrBallen narrating the spaceship journey, the revelations about lost civilizations, and that final mind-blowing message. It would be electric.
Why this would crush it here:
MrBallen’s audience already loves stories like Dyatlov, Kandahar Giant, and matrix glitches. This one connects so many of those threads while adding fresh spiritual and historical depth. And the proof is in the numbers — YouTuber Mr. & Mrs. Gao and similar channels have racked up around 10 million views covering this story because it’s genuinely addictive. People binge the whole thing.
If MrBallen covered this, I genuinely believe it would be one of those videos we’d still be talking about years later. It fits his style like a glove and would bring in a ton of new viewers who are already obsessed with it elsewhere.
Fellow Ballen fans — if this sounds like the kind of story you’d love to hear him tell, drop an upvote so it gets visibility! MrBallen, if you see this, I (and a lot of us) would be thrilled. Happy to send sources or more details if it helps.
What do you all think? Has anyone else come across this one?
Let’s get this one in front of him — we all win when he covers bangers like this. 🔥
