Copernicus’s “Children of Light” vs. “Children of Darkness” (Jews)

In 1865, Nietzsche read David Friedrich Strauss’s study of The Life of Jesus, Critically Examined, a historical analysis of the New Testament that destroyed any shred of credibility in the miraculous aspects of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. If one set of beliefs was fading, there were others to take its place. Throughout the preceding century, as the tenets of Christianity grew harder to maintain, contemporary Germans had begun to practice their own new religion of Greek art and myth.
Consider in this context what an official Vatican publication, Guide to the Vatican Museums (Gestione Vendita Publicazioni Musei Vaticani, Citta del Vaticano. 1979, o. 12) has to say in this matter: “ It was this spirit which inspired the creation of two of the most illustrious of the humanistic institutions of the Holy See: the Vatican Library and the Vatican Museums. Both were the outcome of a vision of Graeco-Roman culture as the perfect, almost timeless expression of human creativity at its highest levels - thought and art - and as the precursor, at times almost the prefigurement, of Christanity, above all in the West.
New gods meant new human ideals to be worshiped. The residents of Olympus had initially been revived and reinvigorated by a Prussian cobbler’s son, J. Winckelmann, who had taught himself to pray in Homeric quotations and founded the discipline of classical art history (In 1764 Winckelmann was appointed Commissioner for Roman Antiquities). It was from the realm of imaginative desire that Winckelmann drew the ideals of sunny health and nakedly uninhibited joyousness which “ancient Greeks” held out for generations of German thinkers oppressed by bourgeois (i.e. Christian) morality, and heavy clothing. Thus the Germans came to view the Hebrew Bible as the primitive book of a still primitive faith that evolved only after centuries into the true religion: High German Christianity. Die Germanische Glaubensgemeinschaft as pictured in Dem Deutschen Buch (Verlag: Kraft und Schoenheit) shows two adult men on heir knees joining the outstretched hands under radiating swastika. Nothing expresses better the ideal of the Platonic, gay “pure” love. This poster was inspired by Hans Waldau’s anthology Aus der Freundschaft sonnigsten Tagen (1906).
The first Japanese Tenno whose reign started in 660 BC or in the period of the XXVth Egyptian dynasty was regarded as a child of the sun – “arahitogami” or, a “person ruling the entire world (like the sun) , who, at the same time is a god. The Persian Cyrus was similarly supposed to be one of the divine incarnations – the sun in person; hence he favored the idea that his name signified “the Sun.”
Trained at Toynbee’s Oxford, Aldous Huxley was one of the initiates in the ”Children of the Sun”, a Dionysian cult comprised of the children of Britain’s Roundtable elite. Among the other initiates were T.S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Sir Oswal Mosley (an open Nazi), and D.H. Lawrence, Huxley’s homosexual lover. It was Huxley, furthermore, who would launch the legal battle in the 1950’s to have Lawrence’s pornographic novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover allowed into the United States on the ground that it was a misunderstood “work of art.” And thus the American Sex and Drugs Revolution was initiated.
Carl Sagan, a New Ager, a lunatic chasing Kepler’s Lunarians and one of the High Priests of the scientific establishment, expressed the gist of Copernicus’s belief in “family of stars” as follows: “Our ancestors worshiped the sun, and they were far from foolish. It makes good sense to revere the sun and the stars, because we are their children.” (See, Richard A. Baer, Jr. They Are Teaching Religion In The Schools,” Christianity Today, 1-17-84, p.12) Well, as early as the 5th century B.C.E Sophocles called the sun “He who engenders the gods” (i.e. stars) and “Father of All things”. In this cosmogony the ETs are a must! If you don’t believe in them, you are a heretic, not a politically correct Scientific American!
Like the maverick Soviet scientist, Vernadsky who reminded us: “The biosphere is as much, or even more, the creation of the sun as it is a manifestation of Earth process. Ancient religious intuitions, which regarded terrestrial creatures, esp. human beings as ‘children of the Sun’ were much nearer the truth that those which looked upon them as a mere ephemeral creation, a blind and accidental product of matter and earth-forces. Terrestrial creatures are the fruit of a long and complicated cosmic process, and, subject to predetermined laws, form of necessity part of a harmonious cosmic mechanism in which chance does not exist.” Carl Sagan followed in his footsteps. Whoever venerates the sun god also hugs his mistress Gaia i.e. the earth goddess! Like Pope John Paul II was doing on his innumerable pilgrimages.
Let me remind here that Aldous Huxley told T. Leary that the obstacle to the evolution was the Bible: “Drugs that open the mind to multiple realities inevitably lead to a polytheistic view of the universe. We sensed that the time for a new humanist religion based on intelligence, good-natured pluralism and scientific paganism had arrived.” Indeed, it had arrived along with N. Copernicus.
The youthful apostle of a one-world government, John Lenon’s song Imagine attacked religion (“Imagine there is no heaven. It’s easy, if you try, No hell below us. Above us only sky”), espoused a do you own thing philosophy (“Imagine all the people, Living for today”), attacked nationalism (“Imagine there’s no countries”), attacked religion (It is isn’t hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too”), called for the abolition of private property (“Imagine no possessions”), supported a new international order (“I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world”). Lenon called for abolition of private property and then left his Japanese-born widow a $250 million estate. Former President B. Clinton had chosen to play this tune on saxophone during his visit to Israel.
Another President of the U.S., Jimmy Carter, who considered Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeni a “holy man” reported sighting UFOs and his National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski made speeches proclaiming the advent of the New Age; the Joint Chiefs of Staff every morning read so-called intelligence reports on the biorhythms and horoscopes of the members of the Soviet Politburo.
In 1964, the biologist George Simpson wrote a skeptical paper entitled On the Nonprevalence of Humanoids, in which he emphasized the futility of the search for advanced extraterrestrial life. He termed it a gamble of the most adverse odds in history. Pointing out that humans are the product of countless special historical accidents, he concluded: “The assumption, so freely made by astronomers, physicists, and some biochemists, that once life gets started anywhere, humanoids will eventually and inevitably appear is plainly false.” (Science 143 (1964) p. 772). But his voice was ignored by the NASA.
The Mind of a New Age Astronomer
The Apollo astronaut Russel Schweikart, a New Ager, of course, (See, Gaia, Evolution and the Significance of Space Exploration, JS Journal, published by International Synergy (December 1987; 2:2, p. 29) “was the first person to walk in space without an umbilical cord to the craft, swept along by the magical, invisible connection of shared momentum,” believes that Gaia may be nearing some sort of threshold analogous to giving birth. Wee may conclude that a new member will soon be added to Copernicus’s astrorum familia.
On November 19, 1898 F. Bilek, a 19th century Czech artist published in Polish magazine Życie (Life), II, 44, p. 579 a cartoon mocking the Copernican heliolatry; Earth goddess Gaia, a great planetary organism circling around the sun god.
The New Age author Peter Lemesurier in his book The Armageddon Script writes enthusiastically about the worship of the Great Mother Earth. He writes as though he is an astronaut in a spaceship in orbit around our planet. As they rounded the barren lunar globe for the… last time, and the resplendent half-earth once again rose from behind that now familiar curved and rocky horizon, what they saw coming up to meet them was strangely familiar.. An image straight out of the racial memory. A god out of the world of the archetypes. It was none other than the rounded form of the Great Mother, Earth herself, clad in the same flowering robes of shimmering blue and white that had been those of mother-goddesses of earth and sky throughout man’s history – and not least his most recent mother-goddess, the Virgin Mary herself…” (245-6)
And last but not the least, in 1975 Prof. S. Sambursky (NA), a friend of Einstein’s introduced Copernicus to the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities as “the man who initiated this era of modern science…as the man who by the sheer force of imagination broke the chains of sense perception, the ingenious discoverer of a scientific truth involving one of the greatest revolutions in man’s view of the world.” (See, Proceedings of the Israel Academy of Science and Humanities, vol. V, No. 11). He did not care to mention that Copernicus’s book presents the sun as All Seeing God.
Some try to explain the Copernican “paradigm shift” in Israel as a result of “the moon walk.” Hannah Newman in her series The Rainbow Swastika observed: “If you are wondering how you missed the shattering trauma that hit Judaism after the Apollo moon landing, you are not alone. Even the recovery of the Western Wall in 1967, as momentous as it was, didn’t cause “all our practices and beliefs” to be “reframed”… However, be aware that man’s brief hip-hop on the moon is high on the New Age list of milestone events in human evolution. So is the first use of nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, mentioned as a “shift point” (www.philologos.org__eb-trs/naI.htm). The German magazine Der Spiegel published recently a photo of 120 Nazi rocket scientists in Huntsville, Alabama to whom America owes the “glory” of fraudulent moon landing.
How the Aryan Science Replaced the Biblical Creationism
After Giovanni di Medici was elected Pope Leo X (1475-1521) a lampoon was posted on the Pasquino Navona to the effect that Giovanni might make a good Pope if only he believed in God.
The “moon landing” was nothing surprising , if one considers the invisible New Age link between Washington and the Vatican. On the 16th of August 1820, the Congregation of the Holy Office reported that Settele, the professor of astronomy at Rome and Washington might teach (Venia legendi) the Copernican system as truth established. This meant promotion of T.Paine’s anti-Semitism based on his admiration for philosophical heliocentrism and contempt for “barbarity” of Jewish Biblical culture. Quite recently Pope John Paul II recognized evolutionary hypothesis also as truth established.
And American New Age inquisition is as terrifying (or should I say terrorizing) as that of the Vatican. Consider the case in Rice(!) County, Minnesota, in which faculty member Rod LeVake is fighting to be reinstated in his position as biology teacher at Fairbault High School (Independent School District 656). LeVake, who holds a Masters degree in Biology Education, was not even attempting to introduce creationism; he merely wanted his students to examine the scientific weaknesses in the theory of evolution. He was reassigned by his superiors in 1988 on the grounds of “a deep conflict between his religious beliefs (sic) and the teaching of evolution.” The presiding judge in the Rice County District Court, Bernard Borene, a New Ager, dismissed LeVake’s lawsuit that the school had deprived him of academic freedom. In his judgment, Borene stated that as a biology teacher LeVake had no “right of academic freedom,” and that he could legally be prevented from presenting criticism of evolution, even “though they may be scientifically meritorious.” Roma locuta, causa finita.
Einstein needed space and time to be able to change in the presence of mass. So space and time had to be dynamic, rather than static. Consequently, space-time, and so the universe, could not remain still; and if it had to change it could only really get bigger or smaller. Hence it ought to be gently expanding or contracting. But Einstein was very unhappy about this idea. As a firm believer in the Newtonian idea of an infinite unchanging universe, he convinced himself that there was a law of physics which would prevent any overall expansion or contraction. There had to be something which would allow local variations, as space-time was affected by mass, but not affect the overall status of the universe. Einstein therefore added an extra factor to his equation, the “cosmological constant”: a kind of weakly repulsive force to cancel the inward pull of gravity and thus prevent an overall dynamic change.
But the Vatican said no. And, accordingly, Abbe George Lemaitre (1894-1996), a Catholic priest and Belgium’s most famous astronomer could see no reason to introduce this “cosmological constant” out of thin air. Supposing you just stayed with the mathematical model of a gently expanding universe. This would mean that the expansionary force would counter the gravitational force, and so all the matter in the universe could stay separated. Not only that; if the expansionary force slightly exceeded the gravitational force, then the universe would continue to expand and become bigger tomorrow than it is today. That would also mean that it had to be smaller yesterday than it is today, in order to expand to today’s size. The universe would therefore have to be progressively smaller the further back in time you went. And that meant that at some point, very long ago, the universe would have been at its smallest possible size. Lemaitre suggested that this would be the starting point of the universe, the moment of “creation”. He thought he had fund the perfect model: a universe which “bing banged” from a “primeval atom,” and which continued to grow and expand like an oak tree from an acorn; and a universe which at the same time faithfully followed all the mathematics of Einstein. But Einstein remained unimpressed. He suggested that Lemaitre had a poor grasp of physics involved. Indeed, Lemaitre’s universe was derived from a story of the Indian Upanishads.
Big Bang*: Atoms Are ForeverMatter is the Only Things that has Reality
But in January 1933 Abbe Lemaitre traveled with Einstein to California for a series of seminars. After the Belgian detailed his Big Bang theory, Einstein stood up applauded, and said, “This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I had ever listened.” Lemaitre’s theory, the idea that there was a burst of fireworks which marked the beginning of time and space on “a day without yesterday” was inspired by researches of another Catholic Priest, Pierre Gassendi, a French philosopher who was as famous in his day as Descartes or even Galileo. Gassendi was an extremely important figure, for it was he who was primarily responsible for reintroducing the “atomism” (i.e. Materialism) of Democritus and Epicurus into modern philosophy, offering it as the most satisfactory model for science explanations. Despite his epicureanism and materialism – two positions that had long been condemned as atheistic – Gassendi managed to function quite well within the Catholic Church. Gassendi’s revival of atomism culminated in the Big bang theory advanced by Lemaitre.
Influenced by the work on radioactivity of Pierre and Marie Curie, Abbe Lemaitre imagined the entire universe as resulting from the radioactive decay of a single super-atom. In the course of time this “primeval atom theory” evolved into its present form which says that some 15 billion years ago an incredibly compact pellet of matter exploded to launch its components on a voyage that still continues.
It was politics which dictated this transformation of the theory; in the Hindu theology God is considered a “puru” i.e. geometrical point and this dogma is reflected in the notion of a pellet of matter. (In the Newtonian physics the difference between matter and spirit is that of degree of condensation). Big Bang theory also referred to as Modern “Genesis” retired the Biblical Genesis because the American social Darwinist and a New Ager John Fiske imparted to the enthusiastic audiences his conviction that the political genius of Aryan peoples was the hope of the world. According to this Aryan “Genesis”, we are bundles of atoms i.e. bundles of energy at the quantum level, and bundles of energy consist of 99.99999% empty space. We are all transparent, so to say.
For his work, Lemaitre was inducted as a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium. An international commission awarded him the Francqui Prize. The archbishop of Malines, Cardinal Josef Van Roey, made Lemaitre a canon of the cathedral in 1935. The next year Pope Pius XI inducted Lemaitre into the Pontifical Academy of Science. At last they got rid of the God of the Bible, or so it seemed, until an independent Israel was created in 1948. This was a really shocking event for all New Agers.
