The Battle Goes On

Fighting the influence o the Aryan heliocentrism embraced by the great Mystic Lao Dse (with him we enter the realm of the Indian realization of union with the Divine), Confucius made fun of its magical aspects saying: What harm can a man do to the sun or the moon by wishing to stop either in its course? It only shows that he knows not his own limitations. This question could be explained as a reflection on the Joshua miracle described in Josh 10:12 when Joshua stopped the sun and the moon for a defined period of time, but nor forever, like Copernicus. When the battle was over the sun and the moon continued their course.
The ritual of heliocentric magic was wide-spread and well-known in the antiquity; for instance, the Mikado or Dairi believed to be an incarnation of the sun goddess, the deity who rules the universe, gods and men included, was obliged to sit on the throne for some hours every morning, with the imperial crown on his head, like a statue, without stirring either hands or feet, head or eyes, nor indeed any part of his body, because according to a heliocentric dogma “quiescence is the Master of motion”… (cp. Aristotle’s Unmoved Mover) The Polish saying about Copernicus that “he stopped the sun and moved the earth” is derived from the same heliocentric magic (Copernicus’ along with Faustus’ study of magic in Poland was reported as fact by Philipp Melanchton). In an official decree of the year 646 the Emperor is described as “the incarnate god who governs the universe.” Similarly, as ordained priests, most scholastic doctors firmly believed in the powers they and their sacerdotal confreres were endowed with. Voltaire made fun of it; in Catholic countries one sees every day priests and monks who manufacture gods by the hundred, eat and drink their god…”
The legend had it that Lao Dse was the son of the virgin mother, conceived under the influence of a falling star (in Lebanon, the flight of a shooting star was interpreted as the descent of the amorous goddess Astarte to the arms of her lover), i.e. he was regarded as a typical Hindu jamad agni or, “he who knows the identity of god and fire.”
The Confucian geocentrists decided to make fun of this solar myth and they concocted a wise story about an ancient period when there were originally ten suns encircling the earth. But when the people felt blinded and their crops withered and perished in the fierce heat they sought a method of curbing the sun’s power. When the earthly ruler YAO implored the Lord of Heaven, Di Jun to restore the old order whereby only one sun appeared at a time Di Jun ordered his assistant Yi, an expert archer to shoot down the nine suns.
The Chinese story inspired J. Kepler with such a reasoning: If the little disks of, say, 10,000 stars are fused into one, how much more will their visible size exceed the apparent disk of the sun? If this is true, and if they are suns, as all heliocentrists claim, why do not these suns collectively outdistance our sun in brilliance? Why do they all together transmit so dim a light to the most accessible places? When sunlight burst into a sealed room through a hole made with a tiny pinpoint, it outshines the fixed stars (i.e. billions upon billions) at once! Will Galileo tell me that the stars are very far away from us? This does not help his cause at all. For the greater the distance, the more does every single one of them outstrip the sun in diameter. If this infinite Ocean of Fire is ever encircling our earth how can we explain rain, dew, frost, ice? In order to escape such difficulties heliocentrists of all times thought in paradoxes because paradoxes are apt to bewilder the unwary. Zen Masters’ paradoxical utterances (koans) were used as a meditative focus for Zen training; they invited the hearers, by means of their tales or riddles, to pass over from the attenuated world of jaded sense to some fabulous yonder they saw before them. And the way into this alternate state, where alternative wisdom prevailed, was by finding a crack in the wall of common sense and ordinary experience. Zen master will function effectively, without thinking because without-thinking need not observe rules or formalities.

“He stretched out the North over the empty place and
hangeth the earth upon nothing” (Job 26:7)
The ideal prince of China professing Confucian geocentrism rules by moral force (te) contrasted with li “physical force”; he is compared to the north polar-star, which remains in its place while all the lesser stars turn about it. A Confucian scholar observed: “To make ourselves deserving partners of Heaven, we must be constantly in touch with that silent illumination that makes the rightness and principle in our heart-minds shine forth brilliantly.” (Cp. Kant’s famour maxim, “Starry Heaven above me and moral principle inside me”). This Confucian geocentrism is depicted on the flag of China and of Alaska. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Chin...

DISPOSING OF MORALITY IN THE HELIOCENTRIC UNIVERSE
Natural Man portrayed in Tharsymachean guise has two main characteristics. His psychological make-up is simple: he is out to get what he wants, and what he wants is narrowly circumscribed. Power and pleasure are his exclusive interests. But to get what he wants this wolf has to wear the sheep’s clothing of the conventional moral values. His masquerade can only be carried through by putting the conventional moral vocabulary to the service of his private purposes. He must say in the law courts and the assembly what people want to hear, so that they will put power into his hands. Thus the arête of such a man is to learn the craft (special skill), the techne, of molding people by rhetoric. He must take them by the ear before he takes them by the throat.
42ND CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE TO BE SET UP IN JAPANESE UNIVERSITY
Beijing, Feb. 25 (Xinhuanet, Feb. 27, 2006) – A prestigious Beijing-based university will jointly set up a Confucius Institute in a Japanese University, which will mark the third in Japan and the 42nd in the world. Beijing Language and Culture University signed an agreement with the Japanese Hokuriku University here Friday. Under the agreement, the two universities will found a Confucius Institute in the Japanese one to launch the Chinese language courses, Chinese speeches and seminars. They will also give the HSK tests, a Chinese testing system, said Wang Lujiang, director with the school affairs committee of the Beijing Language and Culture University.
The Chinese University has been in close academic contact with its Japanese peer, Wang said. They forged “sister-school” ties in 2001, and in 2003 inked a deal of co-training undergraduate program. The new institute will open in the coming April, with an investment of from Hokuriku University. The Confucius Institute came into being with the increasing popularity of the Chinese language in the world. Despite the strained relations between China and Japan, three Japanese universities applied to set up Confucius Institute in 2005, namely Ritsumeikan University, Obirin University, and Aichi University.
Metropolitan Kyrill attacks Darwinism
In an interview for the German Spiegel Online published January 10, 2008 entitled The Bible Calls it a Sin Metropolitan Kyrill, foreign minister of the Russian Orthodox Church asked how he would approach Darwin's theories if he were a teacher, answered: “I would say that the theory has many adherents, but also a few unanswered questions. For instance, no one has provided precise proof of the transition from one species to another. It would be wrong to treat Darwin's theory as the only correct one. It is the leading theory today, but it could be replaced by another theory tomorrow. There was also a time when Marxism considered itself the only correct and scientifically justified theory...”
In a veiled allusion to the Declaration of the Senate of the Warsaw University Metropolitan Kyrill said: “What I am saying is something that the liberal SPIEGEL will never print: You undoubtedly think that this Metropolitan Kyrill is out of his mind and that what he is saying is complete nonsense.”
We also learned from the interview that Vladimir Putin says that he often reads the Bible on his presidential plane during long trips and that in an essay, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has invoked the New Testament to criticize a unipolar world dominated by the United States.
Metropolitan Kyrill named interim leader of Russian Church
06/12/2008 20:10 (Recasts, adds details)
MOSCOW, December 6 (RIA Novosti) - The governing body of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Holy Synod, elected on Saturday Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad as the interim leader of the Church.
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II, who led the Russian Church for 18 years, died at the age of 79 in his residency near the capital on Friday. His body has been brought to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and will be lying in state.
Alexy II will be buried on Tuesday in the Annunciation side-chapel of Moscow's Epiphany Cathedral.
Alexy II became patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1990, shortly before the collapse of the atheist Soviet Union, and presided over a religious revival in Russia, with thousands of churches and monasteries being restored and hundreds of new ones built across the country.
A national council of bishops, priests, monks and laymen should be summoned within six months to elect a new patriarch for the Russian Church.
From Gamow to Wolszczan
“Oddly, astronomer George Gamow frequently seems to get more credit for creating the Big Bang idea than its earlier advocates... LeMaitre in particular. During part of 1929-1930 he became a Rockefeller Fellow at Cambridge University where he specialized in thermonuclear reaction in the interior of stars. In 1931 he was recalled to the Soviet Union to be Master of Research at the Academy of Science in Leningrad. In 1933 he defected to the U.S. by way of a Professorship at the University of London, from whence he went to the University of Michigan in 1934. Finally, he settled in The Chair of Physics at George Washington University from 1934-1956, working on the atom and hydrogen bombs during WWII.
The circumstantial evidence leading to the conclusion that Gamow was a major spy for the Soviet Union is rather easy to piece together.... His university background and prominence abroad and at home during the hard Stalinist days would have made his "defection" in ‘33 very difficult...if not planned. His precipitous elevation to the Chair of Physics at GWU and his early championing of the Big Bang paradigm had great influence in making that concept--which conforms ideologically to atheistic communism--take hold in non-communist academia world wide. His concentration on the Origin of the Universe and his niche as an expert in establishing the assumption-laden concept that stars are thermonuclear power plants not only served to advance communist ideological "science", but served also to thwart other sensible concepts such as the Electric Universe Model now demanding serious attention.” (The Theoretical Science Establishment Controls Cosmological and Biological Sciences.

In 1992, Aleksander Wolszczan discovered the first planets outside our solar system. Now, the Penn State professor been accused of spying for SB, the Polish Secret Police. He calls it a "smear campaign."posted by up in the old hotel (6 comments total) 1 user marked this as a favorite
“I actually had this guy for an astro class last semester, which was basically a class about aliens. I always thought he seemed cool but cool enough to be on a postage stamp?”
Wolszczan's discovery of the pulsar PSR B1257+12 being orbited by two planets with masses at least 3.4 and 2.8 times that of Earth mass echoes similar event of 1943. By Christmas of 1943, medium Maris Orsic of the Vril Gesellschaft, claimed that subsequent transmission from Aldebaran revealed there were two habitable planets orbiting that star and that the ancient Mesopotamian civilization of Sumeria was linked to earlier colonies of Aldebaran explorers. The seers discovered that the Aldebaran written language was identical to that of the Sumerians and was phonetically similar to that of spoken German.
It was also revealed that a 'dimension channel' or 'worm-hole' existed connecting our two solar systems. Thus in January of 1944, possibly aware that Germany's war efforts were faltering, Hitler and Himmler authorized a plan to send a Vril-7 ship into the dimensional channel, perhaps to secure assistance from the Aldebaran civilization. The venture resulted in near disaster, the Vril-7 returned with its hull reportedly aged as it it had been flying for a hundred years and its surface damaged in several places.
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower was allegedly secreted away to a meeting with Extraterrestrials at MUROC airfield near Palm Springs, CA. One particular group was reported to be 'Nordic' looking and they offered Eisenhower Free-Energy technology in exchange for nuclear disarmament. Ike declined! And as the story goes, these 'Nordic' ETs subsequently met with Pope Pius XII at the Vatican as well. www.ufodigest.com/news/0208/aldebaran-mystery5.html
Creating “Scientific” Base for Existence of Huris
The “Face on Mars” policy was further developed in 1996 when Y. Arafat had its first one-on-one Oval Office chat (See, New York Times, Thursday, May 2, 1996). Two months later a photograph of one particularly striking example – a segmented wormlike object resting languidly on a bed of mineral grains – has appeared in newspapers, in magazines, and on TV shows around the world. This “worm” – if “worm” it is – has become Mars’s de facto ambassador to Earth. This worm was supposed to be the fulfillment of the Copernican “principle of mediocrity”.

There was nothing new in this deceiving enterprise. In March 1961 three American scientists told the New York Academy of Sciences: “We believe that wherever this meteorite (found at Orgeuil in France) originated something lived.” In the November 18, 1961 issue of Nature magazine the researchers reported that they had found, in a fragment of the Orgeuil meteorite objects somewhat similar to fossil algae found in sediments on earth. However, the skeptics of the University of Chicago challenged the validity of various analyses by their New York colleagues that had suggested a biological origin for the objects. In the November 17, 1964 issue of Science they made it clear that, to them, the most likely explanation of the “fossils” was a hoax.
And in early 1998 the Mars Society was founded which proclaimed, “If we find signs of life, it will indicate that life is probably spread across the universe.” As Mohammed believed it was. And here Mohammed’s religious imagination encounters the ancient Roman UFOmania as advanced by the philosopher Lucretius. Lucretius, the Roman disciple of the Greek atomists wrote like a modern believer in extraterrestrials: “We must therefore admit again and again, that elsewhere there are other gatherings of matter such as this one which our sky holds in its eager embrace…Now if the
atoms are so abundant that all generations of living creatures could not count them, and if the same force and nature remains with the power to throw each kind of atom into its place in the same way as they have been thrown here, you must admit that in other parts of the universe there have been worlds and different races of men and species of wild beasts.”
Almost all medieval Scholastics held the view that God had in reality created only one world. Extraterrestrials were restricted to spiritual beings like demons ethereal in their make up, which, it was supposed, lived in the “middle region”, between heaven and earth. Only following the Copernican revolution, could the idea of other worlds and other life made of ordinary matter finally take hold.
Another “scientific” bonus for Y. Arafat came when Toby Owen, a member of the imaging team found the “face” on Mars while examining a photographic mosaic sent by the Viking 1 Orbiter through a magnifying glass. NASA itself distributed the picture with the caption the “Face on Mars?” Interestingly, “the Face of Mars” bore a very striking resemblance to Y. Arafat’s face! The big break for the face on Mars was its appearance in a screaming story in the “Weekly World News”, the most ridiculous of the tabloids. By the time R. Hoagland wrote “The Monuments of Mars” (1987), there was not only a face, there was a city and even a pyramid.
Two astronomers at Moscow University, Josif S. Shklovskii and Nicolai Kardashev, became interested in the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations during the early 1960s. Shklovskii wrote a book that was translated and expanded by Carl Sagan: it became the bible of SETI enthusiasts worldwide. Shklovskii suggested that the two moons of Mars, named Phobos and Deimos, might be artificial space stations.
The ideologists of the Soviet space program added a new, very dangerous neo-Nazi twist to their propaganda. Dr. Vyacheslav Saitsev of the University of Minsk in his two articles A Spaceship in the Himalayas and Angels in Spaceships proclaimed that Jesus came from outer space, that he was a representative of a higher civilization, and that that would explain partly his supernatural powers and abilities (A Polish saying claims similar powers for Father N., Copernicus). Dr. Saitsev’s articles were actually a new version of the famous forgery The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ perpetrated by the czarist agent N. Notowitch which made Jesus a disciple of the Tibetan lamas. savannahnow.com/node/497143
Sagan propounded a new theory: that Moses, Jesus, and all the great religious figures of ages were really extraterrestrial beings. The miracles of the Bible had all happened as described; they used advanced technology that was perfectly ordinary on their planet. In the middle of a dinner, Sagan slammed his fist on the table, sending the dishes rattling. He looked his guest, Abrahamson in the eye and bellowed, “I tell you, Jesus Christ is extraterrestrial!” Nothing new! A Syrian merchant named Marcion advanced this hypothesis two thousand years ago for which he was pronounced a heretic and expelled from Rome.* This Syrian Jesus matches Clark Kent of the series Smallville.
The American edition of Intelligent Life in the Universe (Sagan was co-author with Shklovski) appeared in 1966. But then, Shklovski published his new view of things in a 1976 article in the Russian journal Voprosy Filosofii. The article’s title translates as “Could Intelligent Life in the Universe Be Unique?” News of Shklovski’s apostasy spread throughout the SETI community. It was a personal setback to Sagan. Shklovski had been one of the first to share a dream that so many considered outlandish.

Widely hailed as the first science fiction story, A True Story, by Lucian of Samosata is a voyage to the edges of the universe and reason. The title is the first clue that this will be a tall tale. As much a predecessor of Douglas Adams as Jules Verne, Lucian's fantasy explores not only outer space (where he brokers war and peace between the inhabitants of the sun and moon), but also the Elysian fields, the geography of the Odyssey, and the interior of a giant whale. We get to meet Homer, Pythagoras, Socrates, and other immortals, as well as a host of bizarre creatures (Recall all those mutants from the series Star Trek). The text is riddled with puns, innuendo, parody and satire; however most of this humor will escape the modern reader. Suffice it to say that this was considered pretty funny in the second century C.E. The narrative breaks off in the second book. Whether there were more adventures or Lucian just ran out of ideas is unknown.

Among ancient philosophers to speculate about possible lunar inhabitants were Anaxagoras, Xenophanes, Pythagoras and his followers, Plutarch, and (in fiction) Lucian. In the late middle ages, Nicholas of Cusa favored life on the Moon. However, speculation became more intense following the Copernican Revolution and Galileo's first lunar studies with the aid of a telescope (1608). In his Discovery of a New World in the Moone (1638), John Wilkins summarized what were then widely held beliefs.
The Copernican Principle of Mediocrity
corresponds to Zarathustra's dogma that “the progression of the stars was not generated for your sake." This is the idea, which is central in the Copernican Revolution, that there is nothing special about our own view of the universe; that what we see around us, including life, is likely to be replicated over and over, not in detail but in wonderful diversity. The universe, according to this mythical notion, is a starlit Garden to which Mohammed found the gate, and we simply have to find the lost key. No wonder, then, that Carl Sagan energetically promoted the search for extraterrestrial life and for signals from alien civilizations.
*Fr. Funes, the Vatican's chief astronomer said there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of “extraterrestrial brothers” perhaps more evolved than humans.
“How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere,”: he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible.

Let me remind here what A. Hitler said on the same subject: “Ultimate wisdom consists in understanding the instinctive causes – that is: a man must never fall into the madness of believing that he has really risen to be lord and master over Nature – which is so easily induced by the conceit of half-education – but must understand the fundamental necessity of Nature's rule, and realize how much his existence is subject to these laws of eternal combat and upward struggle. Then he will sense that in a universe where planets revolve around suns, and moons turn about planets, where force alone forever masters weakness, compelling it to be an obedient servant or else crushing it, there can be no special laws for man. For him, too, the eternal principles of this ultimate wisdom hold sway. He can try to grasp them; but escape them, never.” This is the essential idea of Copernicus's machina mundi.

Excerpts from Man of the Century by Jonathan Kwitny
Romuald Kukułowicz*, the son of Catholic intellectuals from the Laski circle, worked as a clerk but had done underground printing during World War II. Some friends from those days, now students at the Jagiellonian, approached him, raving about a young professor whose lectures on Catholic ethics and communism were inspiring and ought to be published. Did Kukulowicz know anyone who could do it?
Kukulowicz found an underground printer in Lublin. His friends arranged for him to pick up the manuscript from the professor – Wojtyła – at a convent in Krakòw. As the manuscript was typed, edited, and published, there were more meetings between Kukułowicz and Wojtyła, but little small talk. “When I saw him it was always to discuss what to publish and how,” Kukułowicz remembers. “It was a very strict conspiracy.”
Some 250 reams of printing paper were stolen by the members of this “conspiracy” from the institutions where they worked. A World War II press was used, requiring eac h page to be rolled by hand over a typed matrics. Kukułowicz calculates that his friends had to press some 112,750 sheets of paper separately to make the book. It was published in two volumes, a year apart, with only 200 to 250 copies in each edition – loose pages in an envelope, to be bound, if desired by the recipient. Copies went to priests who taught students in all the major cities of Poland.
The work, called Catholic Social Ethics, is nowhere described in Kalendarium or any other available literature; Kukulowicz’s is the only copy I have encountered. The Vatican confirms his story. To my knowledge, this is the book’s first public disclosure, and it belies much that has been written about Wojtyła in recent years.
Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek, now secretary of the Polish Episcopate but in 1954 a student in Wojtyła’s social ethics course at the Jagiellonian, remembers being stunned to learn that Father Wojtyła had written a manual, several copies of which were passed around at the school.
As a priest in the 1970s, Pieronek visited Cardinal Wojtyła for dinner and found parts of that old manual on a bookshelf in the dining room. “We learned about capitalism for the first time from Wojtyła’s text,” Bishop Pieronek recalls. “He tried to explain each system:”
His rationale for private property differed from that of the free-market theorists, and what he wrote about it makes for fairly explosive reading in the 1990s:
The Church realizes that the bourgeois mentality, and capitalism with its material spirit, are contradictions of the Bible According to the tradition of … monastic/religious life, the Church also can appreciate the idea of communism…Communism, as a higher ethical rule of ownership, demands from people higher ethical qualifications.
The Canon Law doesn't recognize private property..
