The Nuremberg Chronicle is a pictorial history of the earth from creation to the 1490s and was published in 1493. Michael Wohlgemuth's pictorial interpretation of the Creation in Genesis shows only circles, like Copernicus's diagram, on the first four consecutive days. And then suddenly in the fifth picture the miracle of colorful life appears: a river, a tree on the bank and a bird singing on its branches. You won't see any trace of life in Copernicus's diagram which is all about movements only. But the greatest surprise expects us in the seventh picture showing God reposing above His finished product – a series of earth-centered spheres with everything in its proper place (2:1-3). The caption of the third sphere sphaera ignis teaches us that the earth is surrounded by a ring of fire. You won't find this ring of fire in Copernicus's book or diagram. It turns out that The Nuremberg Chronicle is right. The modern science confirmed that.
The Thermosphere is the layer above the mesopause. The gases of the thermosphere are even thinner than those in the mesosphere, but they absorb ultraviolet light from the sun. Because of that, the temperatures rise to 3,600º F (2,000º C) at the top. This is at the height of 430 miles (700 km) of the earth's surface.
Now, let me quote a short passage from the Epilogue of the book mentioned previously First on the Moon:
“Look at the command module itself – the only component of the 363-foot-high Apollo-Saturn assembly that does come safely back to earth. A substantial fraction of its weight consists of the massive heat shield that protects it during reentry into the atmosphere, and therefore serves no purpose at all during the last hundred miles of the half-million mile round trip.” We don't know what material was used for this shield because even tungsten or wolfram widely used in space missiles and other equipment that must withstand high temperatures, melts at 3410ºC.
And here is a question and an answer from an interview of Bill Keysing for Nardwuar the Human Serviette:
NTHS: Doesn’t NASA say that the reason there were no stars is because their cameras weren’t set for the proper exposure, isn’t that their line?
BK: That’s their line and that’s pure baloney, because I’ve talked to photographic experts who say that NASA have all the money in the world to have a camera that would have taken magnificent pictures of stars. But there’s a little problem, you know, the temperature on the moon is 250ºF during the lunar day, and a friend of mine put some film in an oven and ran it up to 250º F and the film just curled up. If you notice that the Hasselblad camera is worn outside of the astronaut’s suit and it is not curled in any way. So that camera would have heated up to the temperature to bake cookies in a very short time, because the Sun on the moon is absolutely relentless, there’s no atmosphere to mitigate the heat of the Sun. So it’s obvious that the pictures that they brought back were not taken on the moon, nor could they have actually taken any picture on the moon, even if they had gone there.
The thermosphere extends from an altitude of 100 km, which means that the astronauts sojourned for a while in a fiery furnace 600 km long. There is total silence in their logbook on the stretch between 177 miles and 3,140 miles distances from the earth. The astronauts and most encyclopedias keep mum on the temperature of the thermosphere for obvious religious reasons. According to the Koran, Muhammad ascended to heaven from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on the horse Buraq which had four human heads (In Polish folklore, a certain Twardowski ascended to the moon on a cock). In Soviet artist Belov’s huge painting Space Brothers, c. 1980, the figures on horseback carry the symbols of Soviet Russia triumphantly into space. The Soviets assimilated the Islamic religious imagery for political purposes. Keep in mind that their space missions were launched from the aerodrome at Bajkonur which is in Kazakhstan, a Muslim country. Politically, any mission into space is a minefield.
Religion enters the picture of First on the Moon on July 20. During a service in the Webster Presbyterian Church, of which Buzz Aldrin was an elder, the Reverend Dean Woodruf said in his sermon: “When self-fulfillment and fulfillment are put together perfectly we are what we are meant to be. This is what Nietzsche developed in his idea of the “Superman.” This is not a new biological species but a new kind of man who realizes his capacity for self-transcendence and self-fulfillment. This is what Nietzsche meant when he spoke through Zarathustra: 'Bless the cup which is about to overflow, so that the water, golden flowing out of it, may carry everywhere the reflection of thy rapture. Lo! This cup is about to empty itself again, and Zarathustra will once more become a man.” As you may recall, Nietzsche's Uebermensch (superman) was pictured as a “blond, blue-eyed beast”. Incidentally, N. Armstrong is a blond, blue-eyed man (or beast, if you prefer the Darwinian jargon) and has a statue of the Buddha (with a swastika on his chest) in his apartment. Recently, he paid a visit to Israel.
Well, in the cartoon The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, an episode titled The 'N' Men had Jimmy and his friends careening out of control through the Van Allen radiation belt, giving them all superpowers based on what each was doing at the moment they went through the radiation belt. This situation parodies the origins of the Fantastic Four.
The Reverend Woodruf preached his sermon while the astronauts were traveling through the Van Allen Belts.
Between 50 km and 85 km above the ground Mesosphere extends. The temperatures in this zone drop to -184º F (-120º C) at the mesopause.
A test pilot named Joe Kittinger jumped from 74,000 feet. Near 40,000 feet, his thermometer read 98 degrees below zero, but his pressure suit, which was electrically heated, kept all but his legs warm. When Kittinger landed in the desert, thirteen minutes and 45 seconds after leaving the gondola, only his right hand bore any evidence of his journey from space. On that side, the glove had failed to pressurize, and the hand had inflated to almost twice its normal size. The swelling went down eventually, but the memory of a hostile sky stayed with him.” Man will never conquer space,” Kittinger had told his crew over the radio before he leaped. “He will learn to live with it, but he will never conquer it.” (Burkhard Bilger, Falling The New Yorker, Aug 13, 2007)
William Cooper wrote:
“NASA was created to make interstellar travel believable. The Apollo Space Program foisted the idea that man could travel to, and walk upon, the moon. Every Apollo mission was carefully rehearsed and then filmed in large sound stages at the Atomic Energy Commissions Top Secret test site in the Nevada Desert and in a secured and guarded sound stage at the Walt Disney Studios within which was a huge scale mock-up of the moon. No man has ever ascended higher than 300 miles, if that high, above the earth’s surface. No man has ever orbited, landed on, or walked upon the moon in any publicly known space program. Any intelligent student with a basic physics can prove NASA faked the Apollo moon landings.” http://harvest-trust.org/majestyt.htm
If the Muslims can believe in Muhammad ascending to heaven on a horse, millions of others can believe in the Apollo landing on the moon. People always need to believe in something.

Philosophical Category of Heliocentrism
T. Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo (Frankfurt 1623) argues, According to the testimony of Laertius, Plutarch, Aristotle, and Galen, Pythagoras first announced to the Gentiles his marvelous doctrine of the motion of the earth, of the sun in the center, and of systems in heaven. He informs them that the moon is another earth, and that the four elements, not to mention water, exist in the stars (John Paul II knew what he was doing when he “rehabilitated” Galileo who, like Muhammad, believed in “7 hanging paradises” and 72 virgins awaiting him)*. Copernicus began to develop his system from the preceding contributions of the Pythagoreans, motivated by the observations of Francesco Maria. The disciple of Pythagoras, Timaeus Locrus, demonstrated by mathematics the diurnal rotation of the earth, and Philolaus of Crotona – the annual revolution of the earth (also by mathematics!) Copernicus then added the motion of libration from the pattern of the motion devised by Thebit of Babylon and King Alphonso of Spain. That such a motion was necessary St. Thomas Aquinas also suggested in Metaphysics from statements of Simplicius.
Five of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance – Cardano, Telesio, Patrizi, Bruno, and Campanella – were panpsychists. All of them were admirers of classical heliocentrism. They had to be, because heliocentricm in terms of philosophy is panpsychism.
The Renaissance panpsychists were nothing but a new generation of Stoics who insisted that all material objects are “bodies”, and they are in fact “compounds of 'matter' and 'mind' (god or logos). Mind is not something other than body but a necessary constituent of it, “'reason' in matter.”
A short passage from Pliny's Natural History will allow to better grasp the essence of panpsychist world view:
“Upheld by the same vapour between earth and heaven, at definite spaces apart, hang the seven stars which owing to their motion we call 'planets,' although no stars wander less than they do. In the midst of these moves the sun, whose magnitude and power are the greatest, and who is the ruler not only of the seasons and of the lands, but even of the stars themselves and of the heaven. Taking into account all that he effects, we must believe him to be the soul, or more precisely the mind, of the whole world, the supreme ruling principle and divinity of nature. He furnishes the world with light and removes darkness, he obscures and he illumines the rest of the stars, he regulates in accord with nature's precedent the changes of the seasons and the continuous re-birth of the year, he dissipates the gloom of heaven and even calms the storm-clouds of the mind of man, he lends his light to the rest of the stars also; he is glorious and pre-eminent, all-seeing and even all-hearing – this, I observe, that Homer the prince of literature held to be true in the case of the sun alone.”(2-1)
One long-winded Soviet astronomer spoke on a theory that all the great scientific accomplishments – of Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and so forth – were conceived during periods when sunspots were most active. I think that when the sun spots are most active you one can get easily sunstroke instead of a world shattering idea…
Giambattista della Porta, the celebrated Italian alchemist and the first member of the Academy of the Lynxes, modern Europe’s first scientific society founded in Rome in 1603 published in 1569 his book Magia Naturalis in which he tried to show to the world the groundlessness of their accusations of magic being a superstition and sorcery. In the book he based all of the occult phenomena possible to man upon the world-soul which binds all with all, exactly like Newton’s gravity. The latests biographer of Newton titled his book Newton. The Last Sorcerer.
Newton in his Principia based all his speculations upon the "soul of the world," the great universal, magnetic agent, which he called the divine sensorium: "Here the question is of a very subtile spirit which penetrates through all, even the hardest bodies, and which is concealed in their substance. Through the strength and activity of this spirit, bodies attract each other, and adhere together when brought into contact. Through it, electrical bodies operate at the remotest distance, as well as near at hand, attracting and repelling; through this spirit the light also flows, and is refracted and reflected, and warms bodies. All senses are excited by this spirit, and through it the animals move their limbs. But these things cannot be explained in few words, and we have not yet sufficient experience to determine fully the laws by which this universal spirit operates." In the final analysis all motion in the universe is dependent on the activity of a World Soul.
The Fire Baptism
Let me quote here a prayer to the World-Soul, the Famous Gayatri of the Rig Veda, “the holiest verse in the Vedas.” It runs as follows: “Let us adore the Supremacy of that Divine Sun, the Godhead, Who illuminates all, Who recreates all, from Whom all proceed, to Whom all must return, Whom we invoke to direct our Understanding aright in our Progress toward His Holy Seat.” (Sir W. Jone's Works, XIII. 367. “His Holy Seat” suggests the thought that the state where He does not move is fixed.) Let me mention here that the term see denoting a district under a bishop's authority, for instance Holy See, is derived from Old French sie, or sied which, in turn, is derived from Latin sedes, abode (sedere, to sit). According to Webster's Universal Dictionary of 1936 see also denotes the seat of regal authority; a throne.. Copernicus's sun god who rules his family of stars is seated on a royal throne.
The ancient sun-worshippers regarded the Great Spirit as a nature-god, identical with nature, and the sun as the deity, "in whom the Lord of life dwells." Gama is the sun, according to the Hindu theology, and "The sun is the source of the souls and of all life." Agni, the "Divine Fire," the deity of the Hindu, is the sun, for the fire and sun are the same. Ormazd is light, the Sun-God, or the Life-giver. In the Hindu philosophy, "The souls issue from the soul of the world, and return to it as sparks to the fire." None of the ancients, the sun-worshippers included, regarded our visible sun otherwise than as an emblem of their metaphysical invisible central sun-god. Moreover, they did not believe what our modern science teaches us, namely, that light and heat proceed from our sun, and that it is this planet which imparts all life to our visible nature. "His radiance is undecaying," says the Rig-Veda, "the intensely-shining, all-pervading, unceasing, undecaying rays of Agni desist not, neither night nor day." This evidently related to the spiritual, central sun, whose rays are all-pervading and unceasing, the eternal and boundless life-giver. HE the Point (of Bing Bang); the centre (which is everywhere) of the circle (which is nowhere), the ethereal, spiritual fire, the soul and spirit of the all-pervading, mysterious ether.
Composed of fire and air, the Stoic pneuma was put forth as the creative life energy of the universe. This was most evident in human bodies, in which both warmth (fire) and breath (air) were seen as the essential defining characteristics of life and soul. Pneuma was the active principle made tangible, and as such it accounted for all form that was seen in worldly objects. Pneuma was the “creative fire” of the cosmos, a pyr technikon. It had the status of divinity, and was equated with both god and cosmic reason.
It is the same pantheism which inspired the words of John the Baptist: “I baptize with water, but one who is much greater than I is coming…He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” According to the New Roman catechism “fire” symbolizes the transforming energy of the Holy Spirit, the same fire which Paul urged the Thessalonians not to extinguish (Cp. The undying fire of the Vestal Virgins) – for it is none other than the Holy Spirit Himself (# 696)
Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them” - Acts 2:3.
Plato represented the planets as moved by an intrinsic Rector, one with his dwelling, like “a boatman in his boat.” Aristotle called those rulers “immaterial substances;” though he rejected the gods as Entities. But this did not prevent him from recognizing the fact that the stars and planets “were not inanimate masses but acting and living bodies indeed…” As if “sidereal spirits were the divine portion of their phenomena, (ta theoitera pon phaneron)” (De Caelo. I. 9). Kepler “baptized” Plato's Rector and called him angelus rector conducting each planet. In his third letter to Bentley Newton mentioned “agent, material or immaterial” as the cause of gravity and later identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
Well, possibly Newton with Pliny also believed that Spanish mares could conceive by turning their hindquarters to the wind (Natural History IV.35 and VIII.67). That's what panpsychism is all about. In the erotic cult of the Mare-goddess children were believed to enter into women's womb as sudden gusts of wind.
We have similar synthesis of pagan ideas with Christian doctrine in the young K. Wojtyla's Renaissance Psalter. The leading poem of this collection entitled Magnificat unites through imagery the pagan, the medieval, the Renaissance panpsychism and the modern. The ancient worship of the oak tree, becomes transformed into Christian belief without leaving behind the pagan symbolism; rather, it incorporates it. God is present in the ancient soil, in the rocks of the Tatra (like he is believed to be present in the Kaaba), and in the oaks.
In Laws Plato also embraced a soul or souls as the cause of various phenomena:
“Now consider all the stars and the moon and the years and the months and all the seasons: what can we do except repeat the same story? A soul or souls ... have been shown to be the cause of all these phenomena, and whether it is by their living presence in matter ... or by some other means, we shall insist that these souls are gods. Can anybody admit all this and still put up with people who deny that 'everything is full of gods'?” Like those rocks of Tatra and oaks full of gods...
Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” (which corresponds to Aristotle's “immaterial substances”) which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Now his angelus rector became Plato's “a boatman in his boat”
Kepler said that he understood perfectly how the Pythagoreans could believe that all the globes disseminated through Space were rational Intelligences¸facultates ratiocinativae, circulating around the Sun. He wrote about anima telluris i.e. soul of the Earth. Copernicus wrote about divines mundi revolutionibus (I, 9). The publisher removed from the printed edition of The revolutions the expression divina corpora and replace it with corpora coelestia. Like Copernicus, also Kepler believed that the stars were born of the semen of the sun god (disseminated is derived from Latin semen, seed). Remember the Hindu sungod in the shape of linga (phallus)? In Hindu myth when the Desire (Kama) arose in it, “the creation” or rather emanation or emission of semen followed.
Heliocentrism and Holocausts of Jews
Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.”
This enmity against Christianity rooted in the Hebrew Bible on the part of many cultured pagans was not a purely intellectual matter, but was deeply rooted in class prejudice. The “cultured and sophisticated” could not conceive the possibility that the Christian rabble could know a truth hidden to them. Their main objection was that Christianity was a religion of barbarians who derived their teaching, not from Greeks of Romans, but from Jews, a primitive people whose best teacher never rose to the level of Greek philosophers. If anything good is to be found in Jewish Scripture – they said – that is because the Jews copied it from the Greeks. So, the Biblical geocentrism which could not be proved to be copied from the Greeks or any other pagan belief was recognized as an invention of an uneducated, barbaric people. Rome was always heliocentric: “Sun…the leader, the prince and the steerman of the other stars, the soul and the ordering principle of the world, so large that it enlightens and fills up the whole universe…the orbits of Mercury and Venus follow him as his satellites.” This declaration of Cicero attests that the old Pythagorean heliocentrism was ever present in the minds of the enlightened circles of ancient Greece and Rome. Cicero proclaimed that the Jews who believed in the Biblical geocentrism were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti).
Dio Cassius in his History reported: “Fifty of the strongest fortified places, and 985 of the best towns and villages were ruined. Very few Jews remained alive. 580,000 lost their lives on the battlefield or by the sudden attacks by the Romans, in addition to those without number who perished of starvation and pestilence or who were burned alive. The entire land of Judea was changed into a desolate wilderness” (69:14)
The early Christian chroniclers wrote: “The populace in many other cities were slaughtered or sold into slavery. The multitude for sale as slaves was so great that their price was extremely low, yet there were no enough buyers. At Hebron a great slave market was held; subsequently, the huge remaining number was taken to the slave-market at Gaza, which now because of this became known as Hadrian's Market. Those who could not be sold were shipped to Egypt. In Egypt they fell into the hands of their bitter enemies the Greeks; and instead of being purchased as slaves, many were slain.”
Not long after Hadrian abolished the name of Judea with its potentially subversive overtones, and called the province Syria Palestina instead, he founded in Rome the school of philosophy, oratory and literature which he called Athenaeum, and which conducted the true psychological war against the Jews and their Holy Scriptures. You will grasp better the perennial policy of Rome vis-a-vis Israel when you recall that the goddess Athena was usually portrayed with her dress adorned with swastikas. She was the most beloved goddess of Adolf Hitler.
La Sapienza founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, as a Studium for ecclesiastical continued the tradition of Hadrian's Athenaeum. The statue of Minerva or the Roman counterpart of the Greek of Athena stands in front of the Sapienza.
Gen. John Bagot Glubb, the supreme commander of the Arab Legion in Israel's War of Independence in 1948 regarded the creation of Israel as a crime. Glubb, like most of the British elites, was an unabashed anti-Semite, who firmly believed that the “unlikable character” of the Jews had provoked their persecution throughout history; that most Russian and East European Jews were really Khazar Turks with no connection to the promised land.
You may recall that Darwin in his book castigated the Turkish people as belonging to an inferior race. So when Gen. Glubb put the Jews in the same racial category as Khazar Turks he continued A. Hitler's racial crusade against the Jewish people. So, you see, Pope John Paul II knew very well what he was doing when he was rehabilitating evolutionism and heliocentrism, the “sciences” that were taught in Hadrian's Athenaeum. Once a miniature Palestinian state is created the “civilized world” won't stop there. Only when the last Jew is exterminated its mission civilisatrice will be regarded as fulfilled. Copernicus and Darwin blinded the world to dangers the secularists may encounter while executing this new Holocaust. Exactly, like they blinded A. Hitler.
Hundreds of gravestones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey; hundreds of gravestones were knocked over, some broken from hitting each other. It looked like it was hit by a bomb. The Jews are the one and only people who are not allowed to rest in peace. When moral foundations are shaken, we unleash our instincts. But released instincts belong to the animal world.
If we forget God our country is doomed.
In paper after paper, Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit paleontologist worked out his ideas, mourning his Church’s unwillingness to incorporate what Science had discovered into its understanding of the world, criticizing the “geocentricity” to which she clung psychologically for four hundred years after she had ceased to support it astronomically, and rebuking those religious thinkers who recognized nothing new under the sun since “instantaneous creation”. De Chardin wrote: “Christianity’s only chance to grow lay in her being born again among the Gentiles because only the Gentiles had retained their pagan taste for the earth.” “Christianity must break out of the closed world of Israel into the pagan world”. De Chardin posited above Suess’s biosphere the existence of an even more significant covering of the earth – its “thinking skin”, the “noosphere”. The earth once again became a goddess. De Chardin’s “apostle” in Poland the young K. Wojtyla wrote a poem entitled Material about the “thinking skin”.
Several of the most illustrious thinkers of the postwar period have called for Western religion to forsake the solitary and overpowering, personal deity of the Bible, not for science or rationalism but for naturalistic polytheism of ancient Greece. Sun and Earth are equally encompassed in this metavision.
After a decade of technical articles and studies that began in the 1960s with his work for NASA, Lovelock introduced his Gaia theory to the general public in Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth published in 1979 by the Oxford University Press. Igniting a scientific, environmental, and spiritual movement that has burgeoned through scores of seminars, symposia, and songfest at home and abroad, the Britisher’s opinions on Gaia have since been roundly in demand.
The idea of the living Earth today exercises a profound intellectual enchantment. The notion of our planet as an infinitely integrated super organism has compelled world leaders from Mikhail Gorbachev to Pope John Paul II, R. Reagan to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar to Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Bruntland to write on the theme of global interdependence in the Gaia Peace Atlas, published simultaneously by Gaia Books (London) and Doubleday (New York) 1988, which concludes by thanking Lovelock “for his continuing inspiration.”
Metropolitan Kyrill attacks John Paul II's Scientific Legacy
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.
On the Eve of Pres. Bush's Visit to Israel
MOSCOW, January 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Navy carrier Su-33 aircraft and combat helicopters have launched a training over the Mediterranean, an aide to the Russian Navy commander said on Tuesday. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdukov said previously that a total of four warships and seven other vessels of Russia's Northern, Black Sea and Baltic Fleets, as well as 47 airplanes and 10 helicopters, would take part in the 12,000-mile expedition.
MOSCOW, December 14 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian foreign minister accused Britain on Friday of violating international law in the latest row over the British Council in Russia.

The undying fire of the Vestal Virgins) – for it is none other than the Holy Spirit Himself (# 696)
Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them” - Acts 2:3.
Plato represented the planets as moved by an intrinsic Rector, one with his dwelling, like “a boatman in his boat.” Aristotle called those rulers “immaterial substances;” though he rejected the gods as Entities. But this did not prevent him from recognizing the fact that the stars and planets “were not inanimate masses but acting and living bodies indeed…” As if “sidereal spirits were the divine portion of their phenomena, (ta theoitera pon phaneron)” (De Caelo. I. 9). Kepler “baptized” Plato's Rector and called him angelus rector conducting each planet. In his third letter to Bentley Newton mentioned “agent, material or immaterial” as the cause of gravity and later identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
Well, possibly Newton with Pliny also believed that Spanish mares could conceive by turning their hindquarters to the wind (Natural History IV.35 and VIII.67). That's what panpsychism is all about. In the erotic cult of the Mare-goddess children were believed to enter into women's womb as sudden gusts of wind.
We have similar synthesis of pagan ideas with Christian doctrine in the young K. Wojtyla's Renaissance Psalter. The leading poem of this collection entitled Magnificat unites through imagery the pagan, the medieval, the Renaissance panpsychism and the modern. The ancient worship of the oak tree, becomes transformed into Christian belief without leaving behind the pagan symbolism; rather, it incorporates it. God is present in the ancient soil, in the rocks of the Tatra (like he is believed to be present in the Kaaba), and in the oaks.
In Laws Plato also embraced a soul or souls as the cause of various phenomena:
“Now consider all the stars and the moon and the years and the months and all the seasons: what can we do except repeat the same story? A soul or souls ... have been shown to be the cause of all these phenomena, and whether it is by their living presence in matter ... or by some other means, we shall insist that these souls are gods. Can anybody admit all this and still put up with people who deny that 'everything is full of gods'?” Like those rocks of Tatra and oaks full of gods...
Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” (which corresponds to Aristotle's “immaterial substances”) which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Now his angelus rector became Plato's “a boatman in his boat”
Kepler said that he understood perfectly how the Pythagoreans could believe that all the globes disseminated through Space were rational Intelligences¸facultates ratiocinativae, circulating around the Sun. He wrote about anima telluris i.e. soul of the Earth. Copernicus wrote about divines mundi revolutionibus (I, 9). The publisher removed from the printed edition of The revolutions the expression divina corpora and replace it with corpora coelestia. Like Copernicus, also Kepler believed that the stars were born of the semen of the sun god (disseminated is derived from Latin semen, seed). Remember the Hindu sungod in the shape of linga (phallus)? In Hindu myth when the Desire (Kama) arose in it, “the creation” or rather emanation or emission of semen followed.
Heliocentrism and Holocausts of Jews
Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.”
This enmity against Christianity rooted in the Hebrew Bible on the part of many cultured pagans was not a purely intellectual matter, but was deeply rooted in class prejudice. The “cultured and sophisticated” could not conceive the possibility that the Christian rabble could know a truth hidden to them. Their main objection was that Christianity was a religion of barbarians who derived their teaching, not from Greeks of Romans, but from Jews, a primitive people whose best teacher never rose to the level of Greek philosophers. If anything good is to be found in Jewish Scripture – they said – that is because the Jews copied it from the Greeks. So, the Biblical geocentrism which could not be proved to be copied from the Greeks or any other pagan belief was recognized as an invention of an uneducated, barbaric people. Rome was always heliocentric: “Sun…the leader, the prince and the steerman of the other stars, the soul and the ordering principle of the world, so large that it enlightens and fills up the whole universe…the orbits of Mercury and Venus follow him as his satellites.” This declaration of Cicero attests that the old Pythagorean heliocentrism was ever present in the minds of the enlightened circles of ancient Greece and Rome. Cicero proclaimed that the Jews who believed in the Biblical geocentrism were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti).
Dio Cassius in his History reported: “Fifty of the strongest fortified places, and 985 of the best towns and villages were ruined. Very few Jews remained alive. 580,000 lost their lives on the battlefield or by the sudden attacks by the Romans, in addition to those without number who perished of starvation and pestilence or who were burned alive. The entire land of Judea was changed into a desolate wilderness” (69:14)
The early Christian chroniclers wrote: “The populace in many other cities were slaughtered or sold into slavery. The multitude for sale as slaves was so great that their price was extremely low, yet there were no enough buyers. At Hebron a great slave market was held; subsequently, the huge remaining number was taken to the slave-market at Gaza, which now because of this became known as Hadrian's Market. Those who could not be sold were shipped to Egypt. In Egypt they fell into the hands of their bitter enemies the Greeks; and instead of being purchased as slaves, many were slain.”
Not long after Hadrian abolished the name of Judea with its potentially subversive overtones, and called the province Syria Palestina instead, he founded in Rome the school of philosophy, oratory and literature which he called Athenaeum, and which conducted the true psychological war against the Jews and their Holy Scriptures. You will grasp better the perennial policy of Rome vis-a-vis Israel when you recall that the goddess Athena was usually portrayed with her dress adorned with swastikas. She was the most beloved goddess of Adolf Hitler.
La Sapienza founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, as a Studium for ecclesiastical continued the tradition of Hadrian's Athenaeum. The statue of Minerva or the Roman counterpart of the Greek of Athena stands in front of the Sapienza.
Gen. John Bagot Glubb, the supreme commander of the Arab Legion in Israel's War of Independence in 1948 regarded the creation of Israel as a crime. Glubb, like most of the British elites, was an unabashed anti-Semite, who firmly believed that the “unlikable character” of the Jews had provoked their persecution throughout history; that most Russian and East European Jews were really Khazar Turks with no connection to the promised land.
You may recall that Darwin in his book castigated the Turkish people as belonging to an inferior race. So when Gen. Glubb put the Jews in the same racial category as Khazar Turks he continued A. Hitler's racial crusade against the Jewish people. So, you see, Pope John Paul II knew very well what he was doing when he was rehabilitating evolutionism and heliocentrism, the “sciences” that were taught in Hadrian's Athenaeum. Once a miniature Palestinian state is created the “civilized world” won't stop there. Only when the last Jew is exterminated its mission civilisatrice will be regarded as fulfilled. Copernicus and Darwin blinded the world to dangers the secularists may encounter while executing this new Holocaust. Exactly, like they blinded A. Hitler.
Hundreds of gravestones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey; hundreds of gravestones were knocked over, some broken from hitting each other. It looked like it was hit by a bomb. The Jews are the one and only people who are not allowed to rest in peace. When moral foundations are shaken, we unleash our instincts. But released instincts belong to the animal world.
If we forget God our country is doomed.
In paper after paper, Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit paleontologist worked out his ideas, mourning his Church’s unwillingness to incorporate what Science had discovered into its understanding of the world, criticizing the “geocentricity” to which she clung psychologically for four hundred years after she had ceased to support it astronomically, and rebuking those religious thinkers who recognized nothing new under the sun since “instantaneous creation”. De Chardin wrote: “Christianity’s only chance to grow lay in her being born again among the Gentiles because only the Gentiles had retained their pagan taste for the earth.” “Christianity must break out of the closed world of Israel into the pagan world”. De Chardin posited above Suess’s biosphere the existence of an even more significant covering of the earth – its “thinking skin”, the “noosphere”. The earth once again became a goddess. De Chardin’s “apostle” in Poland the young K. Wojtyla wrote a poem entitled Material about the “thinking skin”.
Several of the most illustrious thinkers of the postwar period have called for Western religion to forsake the solitary and overpowering, personal deity of the Bible, not for science or rationalism but for naturalistic polytheism of ancient Greece. Sun and Earth are equally encompassed in this metavision.
After a decade of technical articles and studies that began in the 1960s with his work for NASA, Lovelock introduced his Gaia theory to the general public in Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth published in 1979 by the Oxford University Press. Igniting a scientific, environmental, and spiritual movement that has burgeoned through scores of seminars, symposia, and songfest at home and abroad, the Britisher’s opinions on Gaia have since been roundly in demand.
The idea of the living Earth today exercises a profound intellectual enchantment. The notion of our planet as an infinitely integrated super organism has compelled world leaders from Mikhail Gorbachev to Pope John Paul II, R. Reagan to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar to Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Bruntland to write on the theme of global interdependence in the Gaia Peace Atlas, published simultaneously by Gaia Books (London) and Doubleday (New York) 1988, which concludes by thanking Lovelock “for his continuing inspiration.”
Metropolitan Kyrill attacks John Paul II's Scientific Legacy
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.
On the Eve of Pres. Bush's Visit to Israel
MOSCOW, January 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Navy carrier Su-33 aircraft and combat helicopters have launched a training over the Mediterranean, an aide to the Russian Navy commander said on Tuesday. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdukov said previously that a total of four warships and seven other vessels of Russia's Northern, Black Sea and Baltic Fleets, as well as 47 airplanes and 10 helicopters, would take part in the 12,000-mile expedition.
MOSCOW, December 14 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian foreign minister accused Britain on Friday of violating international law in the latest row over the British Council in Russia.
