In the ancient Babylonian astrological system, it is the Sun-god who is the ruler and main god of the zodiac. And all the gods of heaven (the stars) were considered offspring of the sun. According to pagan philosophy, all the star gods you have heard about in school were actually manifestations of the heat, fire and light which flowed from the sun. It was believed that it was the Sun-god who was the source of all things, and all the other gods were but emanations of the sun, "flesh of his flesh." Therefore, all the manifestations of the gods of nature were just manifestations of the one god, the Sun, whose worship by primitive man was in reality to Satan. Even Lucifer's name means "Day Star," the "Illuminated One," or "Shining One" (Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible, Young, 1970, p.806)
This global solar religion of Nature is reflected in various languages. Salverte in his Des Sciences Occultes, observed: "Almost all the Tartar princes, trace their genealogy to a celestial virgin, impregnated by a sun-beam, or some equally miraculous means." In India, the mother of Surya, the sun-god, who was born to destroy the enemies of the gods, is said to have become pregnant in this way, a beam of the sun having entered her womb, in consequence of which she brought forth the sun-god.”
The name of Persian sun god Sure is cognate with Chaldean zuhr (“to shine”), zuhro (“the Shiner” cp. Zorro) and, of course zuro (“the seed”) because a beam of light was also an impregnating seed. The name Pyrisoporus, as aplied to Bacchus, means Ignigena, or the “Seed of Fire”, and Ala-sporos, the “Seed of God”, is just a similar expression formed in the same way.
The name Aur-ora, in the physical sense, signifies also "pregnant with light"; and from "ohra," "to conceive" or be "pregnant," we have in Greek, the word for a wife. The name of the Anglo-Saxon Zernebogus means: "The Seed of the Prophet Cush". The common name of peoples who worshiped the pagan sun gods was Children of Light as against Children of Darkness i.e. the Jews who refused to worship the object in Nature, such as the sun. The God of the Bible never allowed any person to approach Him in worship through any of his created objects of nature! In fact, God firmly forbids it! The apostle Paul spoke directly to this subject, in Roman 1:21-24 “…when they knew God, glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image…” Then in verse 25, Paul cut the ground out of anyone who thinks they can worship the created object rather than God, when he said, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped the creature more than the Creator…”
Spontaneous Generation also referred to as abiogenesis, the theory that living things arise de novo without living parents from lifeless matter. The attempt of the ancients and medievals to explain the origin of lower forms of life from natural causes, rather than attributing it directly to a supermundane or divine power, was scientifically respectable. Pliny wrote: “We are so much at the mercy of Chance that Chance is our god”. Indeed, in ancient Greece, Tyche or Chance was not merely believed in but worshiped alongside the other gods and goddesses. The two greatest historians of antiquity, Thucidides and Polybius, took chance (with a small 'c') as a cardinal element for historical analysis; Plato and Aristotle, taking an ultimately theological view of the universe, equated chance with all that did not belong to the directly purposive act of god and man, that is, in effect, with physical law.
The Stoics were pantheists: “All are but parts of one stupendous whole, whose body Nature is, and God the Soul.” Would you call him Fate? Asks Seneca. You will not be wrong...Would you call him Providence? You will be right...Would you call him Nature? You will not be speaking falsely...Would you call him Universe? You will not be deceived. The favorite name was Zeus; under this name the most religious of the early Stoics, Cleantes hymned it. The Stoics were determinists.
Peculiar Cases of Spontaneous Generation
In the erotic cult of the Mare-goddess children were believed to enter into woman's womb as sudden gusts of wind; and Homer's authority was weighty enough to make educated Romans still believe, with Pliny, that Spanish mares could conceive by turning their hindquarters to the wind (Pliny, Natural History, IV.35 and VIII.67)
Rome embraced the myth of phoenix; the Romans believed that on its death a grub came out of its body which in due time became a perfect bird; and that the new phoenix brought to Egypt the bones of its parent in the nest of spices in which it had died, and laid them on the altar in the temple of the sun in Heliopolis. It then returned to Arabia to live in its turn for five hundred years, and die and give life again to another as before. The Christians saw in this story a type of the resurrection; and Clement, Bishop of Rome, quotes it as such in his Epistle to the Corinthians. In other words, the doctrine of resurrection is rooted in Mythology. Let me remind in this context that for Pope John Paul II said that evolution is more than a mere hypothesis. Obviously, in Pliny's Rome they still believe that chance is their god.
St. Thomas Aquinas accepted the spontaneous generation of living things from decaying matter. He also accepted the ancients' postulate that the active principle for such a power resides in some way in a celestial body. Since the sun's heat has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of living things, he thought that such heat could communicate the power of life to the slime of the earth. Not regarding the heavenly bodies as animated, however, he held that they could produce living things only in virtue of some higher power (De pot. 6.6 ad 10)
Let's peep deeper into Aquinas's mind. In the time of pope Leo I (Leo, Serm. XXI., De Nativ. Dom. p. 148), some of the Fathers of the Church said that “what rendered the festival of Christmas venerable was less the birth of Jesus Christ than a return, and, as they expressed it, the new birth of the sun.” It was on the same day that the birth of the Invincible Sun (Natalis solis invicti), was celebrated at Rome, as can be seen in the Roman calendars, published in the reign of Constantine and of Julian. Thus epithet 'Invictus' is the same as the Persians gave to this same god, whom they worshiped by the name of Mithra, and whom they believed to be born out of rock (petra genetrix). In other words, another case of spontaneous generation.
According to a widespread and circumstantial legend, Aquinas's teacher Albert the Great, by magical means, created an android – an artificial man, living, speaking, and answering all questions with such subtlety that St. Thomas, unable to answer its reasoning, broke it to pieces with his staff. (There is a matching Jewish legend about a Prague rabbi creating Golem). We find an echo of this legend in Aquinas's Summa Theologiae:”In light of man's rapidly increasing control over matter and energy, it would be in accord with such an analysis to hold that man might be able to dispose matter in such a way as to educe from it a living form. The living thing produced would then be the result of nature as well as of man's art (3a, 75.6 ad 1). Well, Polish poet Aleksander Wat, in his memoirs entitled My Age mentions that while he was imprisoned during WWII in the Moscow Lubianka prison he could borrow from the prison library books by St. Thomas Aquinas. Interestingly, the books by the French renowned Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin are exhibited in honorary place in the Moscow Museum of Atheism. De Chardin became the patron of the Cracow Universal Weekly while the paper was supervised by the then Karol Cardinal Wojtyla. (See also J. FARLEY , The Spontaneous Generation Controversy from Descartes to Oparin, J. Hopkins Univ. Press, Baltimore - London 1977).
The ancients asserted that life originated from the sun, and that everything when bathed in the light of the solar orb was capable of absorbing the solar life elements and later radiating them as flora and fauna. One philosophical concept regarded the sun as a parent and the planers as embryos still connected to the solar body by means of ethereal umbilical cords which served as channels to convey life and nourishment to the planets.
The Virgin mother, giving birth to the sun god which Christianity has so faithfully preserved, is a reminder of the inscription concerning her Egyptian prototype, Isis, which appeared on the Temple of Sais: “The fruit which I have brought forth is the Sun.” While the Vigin was associated with the Moon by the early pagans, there is no doubt that they also understood her position as a constellation in the heavens, for nearly all the peoples of antiquity credit her as being the mother of the sun, and they realized that although the moon could not occupy that position, the sign of Virgo could, and did, give birth to the sun out of her side (similarly, the Buddha was born out of his mother Maya's side) on the 25th day of December. The teacher of Aquinas, Albertus Magnus states, “We know that the sign of the Celestial Virgin rose over the horizon at the moment at which we fix the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Thus the esotericism of pagandom was embodied in Christianity; the Christian church blindly follows ancient customs, and when asked for a reason gives superficial and unsatisfactory explanations, either forgetting or ignoring the indisputable fact that each religion is based upon the secret doctrines of its predecessor. Christianity shares with Masonry the pagan cult of the sun.
The primitive mind, recognizing the beneficent power of the solar orb, adored it as the proxy of the Supreme Deity. Concerning the origin of sun worship, Albert Pike, 33º, writes in his Morals and Dogma: “To them he (the sun) was the innate fire of bodies, the fire of Nature. Author of Life, heat, and ignition, he was to them the efficient cause of all generation, for without him there was no movement, no existence, no form. He was to them immense, indivisible, imperishable, and everywhere present. It was their need of light, and of his creative energy, that was felt by all men; and nothing was more fearful to them than his absence. His beneficent influences caused his identification with the Principle of Good; and the Brahma of the Hindus, and Mithras of the Persians, and Athom, Amun, Phtha and Osiris, of the Egyptians, the Bel of the Chaldeans, the Adonai of the Phoenicians, the Adonis and Apollo of the Greeks, became but personifications of the Sun god, the regenerating Principle, image of that fecundity which perpetuates and rejuvenates the world's existence.” To the Egyptians the sun was the symbol of immortality, for, while it died each night, it rose again with each ensuing dawn.
Christianity and Masonry
In about 1103 B.C. Aeneas’s son Brutus migrated and reestablished his group in “the Great White Island” and built a capital city he named New Troy, now called London. The great patron of the Masons Henry IV informs his scholar that the Mystery was brought into England by Peter Gower (i.e. Pythagoras). The first British martyr St. Alban was at the same time Grand Master of the Masons appointed to the post by the Emperor in A.D. 300. In the Philosophical Origins of Gentile Theology Newton describes Jesus as “one of these prophets sent to call mankind back to the truth of the Pythagorean heliocentrism.” The Athenian orator Isokrates (4th century B.C.) observed: “On a visit to Egypt Pythagoras became a student of the religion of the people” (See also R.H. Brown, Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy. New York 1882, p. 31)
James D. Tabor in his The Jesus Dynasty (2006) observed: “The traditional English translation “carpenter” which goes back as early as William Tyndale's 1526 edition of the New Testament, is misleading. The Greek word tekton is a more generic term referring to a “builder.” It can include one who works with wood, but in its 1st-century Galilean context it more likely refers to a stone worker. The 2nd-century Protoevangelium of James refers to Joseph as a “builder of buildings.” Houses and buildings were built of stone. Wood was used sparingly, mostly for roof beams and doors, since wood was a scarce building material in the rocky terrain of Palestine. Jesus often drew upon images of stone building to illustrate his teachings. In one of his well-known stories he speaks of the wise man who in building a house digs a deep foundation and lays the solid stone foundation of the building upon bedrock (Lk 6:48). He appears to have been exposed to the building trades, and stonework of some type was most likely his trade.”
Interestingly over the door of the newly discovered tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem we see a symbol matching exactly the logo of the Berlin Masonic Lodge. Robert H. Brown in his Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (New York D. Appleton & Co0. 1882) reminded: “Herodotus informs us...that the Egyptians were the first to discover the solar year, and to portion out its course into `12 parts...The Egyptians knew the true system of the universe. They were acquainted with the fact that the sun is the center of the solar system, and that the earth and other planets revolve about it in fixed orbits. They knew that the earth is of globular shape, and revolves on its own axis, thus producing day and night...They also seem to have understood the power of gravitation, and that the heavenly bodies are attracted to a center” (p.31) Appropriately, the Polish Masonic Lodge is called Copernicus and the Italian Lodge – Galileo. Upon rehabilitation of Galileo the Italian Lodge awarded pope John Paul II honorary membership.
According to this ancient Masonic tradition Copernicus described his “sun in the middle of all” as a god: “In the center of all rests the Sun. For who would place this lamp of a very beautiful temple in another or better place than this from which it can illuminate everything at the same time? As a matter of fact, not unhappily do some call it the lantern, others, the mind, and still others, the Leader of the World. Trismegistus calls it ‘visible God’; Sophocles’ Electra, ‘that which gazes upon all things.’ And so the sun, as if resting on a kingly throne, governs the family of stars which wheel around.” (De revolutionibus… I, 10). And Newton identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. But his physical body rests in peace in the Israeli Museum of Antiquities.
The Old Testament's response to the sun worship is the teaching concerning the creation of all things by the God of Israel; His continuing sovereignty over all things, which includes His maintenance of the sun's course (Ps 104:19; Jer 31:35; cp. Mt 5:45); His ability to alter that course (Josh 10:12; 2 Kg 20:9-11; Isa 38:8) and to withhold the sun's light from the earth (Job 9:7).
To the Egyptians the teaching of the Hebrew Torah was the insult to their most sacred institutions of their solar religion. That explains why the Jews were despised b y the Egyptians themselves, who, to insult them, said that the wicked god Typhon had two sons, Hierosolymus and Judaeus, and that from these the Jews were descended. Jesus answer to the Jewish people in the Gospel of John (8:42): “If God were your father, you would love me...Your father is the devil, and you do exactly what he wants. He has always been a murderer and a liar” echoes that ancient Egyptian calumny.
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” (Rev 21:23)
Centuries before the Christian Era, the pagans revered the constellation of Aries (the Ram). Godfrey Higgins states: “This constellation was called the 'Lamb of God.' He was also called the 'Savior,' and was said to save mankind from their sins. He was always honored with the appellation of 'Dominus' or 'Lord.' He was called the 'Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world.' The devotees addressing him in their litany, constantly repeated the words, 'O Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. Grant us Thy peace.'” Therefore, the Lamb of God is a title given to the sun, who is said to be reborn every year in the Northern Hemisphere in the sign of the Ram. Especially in the Gospel of John, the most hostile of all Gospels to the Jews the phraseology of the ancient solar cult is abundantly applied to Jesus.”Life was the light of men” (Jn 1:4). “Light (i.e. Jesus) is come into the world.” (Jn 3:19). “A burning and shining light” (Jn 5:35). “A little while is the Light (Jesus) with you.” (Jn 12:35)
Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:5 says: “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” Accordingly, Sunday became the holy day of week for the Christian Children of Light which was not to be the same as the Jewish Mosaic shabbat.
Bringing light into causal relationship with the sun, as all heliocentrists and votaries of the sun god do, conforms to the receptive capacity of human eye, but it misses this light which in the “darkness” of night leads “all the beasts of the forest to their food from God.” (Ps 104:20). The Nuer, an African nation, aware of the racist undertones of this teaching dividing people into good Children of Light and devilish Children of Darkness point out by their habits something else and good which nights bring to people and which is as important as dew for plants; for them events are marked by counting “sleeps” or by referring to the phases of the moon. “Sleeps” as time units seem a more logical reference to the passage of days than “suns” or days themselves. Insomniacs know very well the torturte of sleepless nights.
In more remote times, products now known to be poisonous were used to whiten the skin and thus making the people to look like the real Children of Light. For example, as early as 400 B.C.E. the Greeks whitened their skin with a face powder of lead carbonate. Poppea Sabin, the wife of Roman Emperor Nero, used this toxic substance to whiten her face. In the 16th century, arsenic was used by some Italian women to give their faces a translucent appearance. In other words they wanted to have shining faces like the sun queen Elizabeth I.
The skin is the body's largest organ, measuring some 20 feet for an average male and 17 square feet for an average female. It contains receptors that respond to pain, touch, and temperature. The skin is the body's first line of defense against heat, cold and trauma, as well as against toxins, chemicals, and pollutants. Ironically, the skin of these Children of Light has a potential enemy – their sun god.
A curious fact for the life of the Essenes emerges from a study of the Jubilees calendar; it began the year on the fourth day of the week, Wednesday, on the principle that it was only on that day that the heavenly luminaries were created, and thus one could not properly speak of “day and night” before that (Gen 1:14-19). In the Hindu myth, Kala and Akala, time and not-time, are two forms of Brahma, after he had produced the world or rather the sun as the first thing in the universe.
I think that German poet Goethe caught very well the deeper meaning of the Biblical teaching about the sun having been created only on the fourth day. He observed: “Experience is not something simple, and can never be purely objective, because it is our own active organization which first makes experience possible, in that our senses take up only definite impressions, definitely shaped, moreover, by themselves, (We may stimulate the optical nerve as we will, the impression is always “light”, and so in the case of the other senses), while our understanding also sifts, arranges and unites the impressions according to definite systems. There are many problems in the natural sciences on which we cannot with propriety speak, if we do not call in the aid of metaphysics.”
After years of experimentation with time sensing in the honeybee, von Frisch concluded that “we are dealing here with beings who, seemingly without needing a clock, possess a memory for time, dependent neither on a feeling of hunger nor an appreciation of the sun’s position, and which, like our own appreciation of time, seems to defy any further analysis.”
While experimenters may think they have totally isolated their potatoes and their oysters by shielding them from light and changes in barometric or thermal conditions, these organisms have subtle ways of sensing what is really happening in the world outside.
Sir Cyril Burt in Arthur Koestler's The Roots of Coincidence destroyed Newton's dogma inspired by the pagan heliolatry. In Query XXX at the end of his Opticks Newton, like all other members of the Royal Society wondered: “Why may not Nature change bodies into light and light into bodies?” Swift satirized the Royal Society in Gulliver's Travels as the Grand Academy of Lagado, whose members made plans for extracting sunshine from cucumbers.
Here are Sir Burt's words: “Our tactile perception of the gravitational effects of mass (e.g. a grain of sand falling onto the skin) requires a stimulus of at least 0.1 gram, say about 1020 ergs; the kinaesthetic sense (e.g. lifting a weight) is coarser still. On the other hand, the eye in rod-vision is sensitive to less than 5 quanta of radiant energy, about 10-10 ergs or rather less. In detecting energy therefore man's perceptual apparatus is 1030 times more sensitive than it is in detecting mass. Had the perception of mass been as delicate as the perception of energy, the identity of the two would have seemed self-evident instead of paradoxical. When seeing light we should at the same time have felt the pressure or impact of the photons, and mass and energy would from the outset have been regarded as merely two different ways of perceiving the same thing...” At the same time our eyes are immune to temperature changes; we don't wear gloves on our eyes.
Creatures like us who see only in visible light deduce that everyone in the entire Universe, including God, must see in visible light. But God who created the world and its abundance showed Moses a different light never seen by the pharaoh Akhenaten! He showed him the light, which makes it possible for the owl, a pair of binocular with wings, whose eyes make up a third of its head size, to become the “night watchmen of our gardens”*. And this means that the owl can see a mouse in the darkness of night from a distance of several hundred yards.
*On page 236-237 in the Dictionary of Symbols by J.E. Cirlot, the owl is described as follows, “In the Egyptian system of hieroglyphs, the owl symbolizes death, night, cold and passivity. It also pertains to the realm of the dead sun, that is, of the sun which has set below the horizon and which is crossing the lake or sea of darkness.”
The potto lives in the forests of western Africa. It usually sleeps during the day in hollow trees and hunts for food at night. The potto’s big protruding eyes help it see easily in the dark. And what about giant eyes of an Australian spider that can see an ant in black darkness of nights? Some animals also see in infrared, or with radically different kinds of eyes (barred, compound, iridescent, tabular, at the ends of stalks). The world that greets them looks totally different. (Google: Images, Night Life to see more night creatures)
The Biblical teaching about relativity of light wasn’t entirely silenced by the Gentile Theology – as Newton called heliocentrism – concocted at Anu-Heliopolis in cooperation with Damascus.
The difference between black and white is not a matter of color, but of how much light they reflect. The terms are relative, not absolute. Black and white are fundamentally the same thing; the difference is only in the relative amounts of light reflected, not in their color. The fraction of incident light that human skin reflects varies widely from individual to individual. Skin pigmentation is produced mainly by an organic molecule called melanin, which the body manufactures from tyrosine, an amino acid common in proteins.
Albinos suffer from a hereditary disease in which melanin is not made. Their skin and hair are milky white. The irises of their eyes are pink. Albino animals are rare in nature because their skins provide little protection against solar radiation, and because they lack protective camouflage. Albinos tend not to last long. They don't survive under the killing rays of Copernicus's sun god.
People of Northern European ancestry and people of Central African ancestry are equally black in the ultraviolet and in the infrared (Google: Images, Ultraviolet Light to see for yourself), where nearly all organic molecules, not just melanin, absorb light. Only in the visible, where many molecules are transparent, is the anomaly of white skin even possible. Over most of the spectrum, all humans are black. Interestingly, taking interferon for hepatitis may change a white man into a black one.
The Scripture speaks of the precious fruits put forth by the sun and moon (Dt.33:14) The precious things put forth by the moon refer to those plants that depend on moonlight, as some flowers, because in the Biblical lore the light of the moon is independent of the sunlight.
We have also many “children of darkness” among the flora. Flowers of the Hedge Bindweed open wide in early morning. But they usually close in the bright sunlight later in the day. Night-Blooming Cereus climbs walls and rocky ledges in the West Indies and other warm lands. Gardeners in Hawaii and the Far East also cultivate this type of cactus. Its creamy blossoms open only at night (Google: Images, Night Plants to see more pictures of such plants). The Holy Thorn of Glastonbury on Wearyall Hill blooms at the Winter Solstice and in May.
There is a particular organic pigment responsible for the absorption of light in such flowers as roses and violets – flowers so strikingly colored that they’re named after their hues. It’s called anthocyanin. Remarkably, a typical anthocyanin is red when placed in acid, blue in alkali, and violet in water. Thus, roses are red because they contain anthocyanin and are slightly acidic; violets are blue because they contain anthocyanin and are slightly alkaline.
Blue pigments are hard to come by in nature. The rarity of blue rocks or blue sands on earth is an illustration. Only the heavens radiate blue and declare the Glory of God. Keep in mind, there is dew for every blade of grass.
The mystery of long-range butterfly migration has been resolved by a team of scientists from Jerusalem’s Hebrew University Faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Quality Sciences, the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the Czech Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Irvine.
In findings published in a recent issue of the magazine, Neuron, the researchers reported that the butterfly’s signal to migrate thousands of miles over several months comes specifically from ultraviolet light detection in the insect’s eye.
Clearly, the more we learn about life, the more we see evidence of often subtle, yet truly profound, design. Such insights move many to echo the Bible’s words of praise to the Creator: “I shall laud you because in a fair-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, as my soul is very well aware.” Psalm 139:14

The Perennial Aryan Heliocentrism
"Vishnu in the form of the Solar active energy, neither ever rises nor sets, and is at once, the sevenfold Sun and distinct from it," says Vishnu Purana (Book II., Chap. 1 1). Shiva in his symbol linga is referred to as as fixed or immovable (dhruva). Shiva is worshiped in the form of the linga, in the center of the temple, or inner shrine.
The serpent Mantra, in the Aytareya-Brahmana, a passage which speaks of the earth as the Sarpa Rajni, the Queen of the Serpents, and "the mother of all that moves." These expressions refer to the fact that before our globe had become egg-shaped or round it was a long trail of cosmic dust or fire-mist, moving and writhing like a serpent. This, say the explanations, was the Spirit of God moving on the chaos until its breath had incubated cosmic matter and made it assume the annular shape of a serpent with its tail in its mouth -- emblem of eternity (vol II, chp. 10)
T. Campanella in his book Apologia pro Galileo argued: “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. 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.
“Aristotle testifies, that Pythagoras, who located the place of punishment in the center of the earth and made fire the cause of motion, described the earth as mobile and animate. So Ovid believes in “Metamorphoses”, Origin in his commentary on Ezechiel, and Plato. It is essential, if hell be in the center of the earth, for earth to be hot within, and, according to Gregory and others cited in the argument of St. Thomas, to be mobile. The interpretation of Galileo does not oppose the belief of St. Gregory, but rather that of Aristotle.”
The Aryan Romans vs. the Semitic Jews
In Dante’s De monarchia the “Divine Predestination” of the Roman people as the world ruling power is derived not from interpretations of the Hebrew prophets or from the appointments of Peter but from the genealogical tree of Aeneas and Creusa! Race and not religion is the decisive thing for Dante. Campanella, an early apologist of Galileo observed: “Love is foremost in attending to the change of the race; men and women are so joined together, that they bring forth the best offspring.” Campanella can be considered a father of the modern eugenics which goes hand in hand with the materialism of heliocentrism. Cicero considered Jews a nation condemned to eternal slavery (nationmibus nati servituti).
M. Palmieri argued in his book The Philosophy of Fascism, (Chicago 1936): The triumph of the idea of Order, of Authority, of equal justice under Law, saw the Empire of Augustus and of Trajanus give to mankind (!) for the first and only time in human history the life-enhancing blessing of political unity. The triumph of the Catholic Idea of salvation in Christ and through Christ and His Church saw the Empire of the Church give to mankind the life-inspiring blessing of spiritual unity. A spiritual power generated from those great Italian spirits who have been in the past the assertors of Rome’s immortal and eternal right to Empire, and the prophets of Rome’s third form of Empire, is the leaven which has brought about that fermentation of spiritual forces called Fascism… Providence chose the Italian land for this high destiny, nourishing a spark of divine truth in it “ab antico” and molding there a race wonderfully adapted in genius and intelligence for subjecting the whole world in Christian obedience…Italy is the priestly nation among the great body of redeemed peoples…Nor did the inhabitants of this peninsula give to other peoples merely divine gifts, but also every other civil and human good, and all the great intellects of Europe, who enhanced in any measure the glory of their countries, lit their lamps at the living flame of Italian genius.”
Both the Vatican Library and the Vatican Museums are 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. “(Guide to the Vatican Museums Gestione Vendita Publicazioni Musei Vaticani, Citta del Vaticano. 1979, o. 12) www.intothelight.org/answers/jesus-as-the-sin...
The Book of Nature vs. the Bible
St. Bernard of Clairvaux who tried to combine a mystical life of absorption in God with his friendship for those in misery could also commune with nature and say:
Believe me, for I know, you will find something far greater in the woods than in the books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you cannot learn from the masters.
In other words, instead of attending school, our children should roam the woods and associate with packs of animals, like the Buddha, who “lived like an animal” or, the later Celtic Merlin, sometimes called the Hairy Anchorite, who himself ran with the beasts of the forests, a prefiguration of Tarzan.
The French theologian Alain de Lille – Alanus de Insulis – discovered at the end of the 12th c., this formula which the ages to come would not forget: “God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.” The last chapter of the last book of Pantagruel referred to “that intellectual sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference nowhere, which we call God.”
The thought that the divinity had written a book moved them to imagine that he had written two, and that the other one was the universe. At the beginning of the 17th c., Francis Bacon declared in his Advancement of Learning that God offered us two books so that we would not fall into error: the first, the volume of the Scriptures, reveals His will; the second, the volume of the creatures, reveals His power and is the key to the former. Bacon intended much more than the making of a metaphor; he believed that the world was reducible to essential forms (temperatures, densities, weights, colors), which formed, in a limited number, an abecedarium naturae or series of letters with which the universal text is written.
Philosophy, Galileo tells Sarsi in the Assayer, is not like the Iliad or Orlando Furioso, books in which the least important thing is whether what is written is true. Galileo’s works abound with the concept of the universe as a book.
The second section of Favaro’s anthology (Galileo Galilei: Pensieri, motti e sentenze; Florence, 1949) is entitled Il libro della Natura. I quote the following paragraph: “Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” Can anybody translate the Decalogue into the language of Galileo's Book of Nature? Natural History is obviously evolutionism.
Back to Nature
According to the Jesuit Juan de Mariana (b. 1536) man in the state of nature would be man stripped of all the clothing time has put upon him, divested of all specific habits and notions that belong to particular times, thrust outside all circumstance that is not permanent, at once an absolute and a mere potentiality. Nothing of man would there remain but which is at all times. There was a time, he says, when men lived as the animals; they lived without law or government and therefore without rights or property as the animals do. In fact they were animals; he implies quite distinctly, that they were not fully human. Perhaps the most original thing in his book is the dim vision of man emerging from the semi-brute (ape-man) of the state of nature into a conscious of himself and of right and so into full humanity. It is perhaps significant that for him the inner light by which we know right from wrong was vox naturae rather than vox Dei.
In the English “Dialogues Between Cardinal Pope and Thomas Lupset” written bet. 1536 and 1538 Pole expresses doubt in the life of civility. It seems to him that man was not born for civilization, but rather to live in a wild forest, then mere following the study of virtue, as it is said men did in the Golden Age. “A time there was, Master Lupset,” says Pole, “when man without city or town, law or religion, wandered abroad in the wild fields and woods, not otherwise than you see now brute beats to do”. In this condition he “long continued for many years, till he came at length to some order and civility and so gradually, “in long time, by little and little to the civilization that is now.” Darwinism is, obviously, an old hat!
In the early 1920's “ape-man” Hesperopithecus (which consisted of a single tooth) was pictured in the London Illustrated News complete with the tooth's wife, children, domestic animals, and cave! This tooth known as “Nebraska man” was still used by evolutionists as compelling evidence for human evolution during the time of the Scopes trial in 1925, but in 1927 parts of the skeleton were found and Nebraska man was downgraded to an extinct pig!
Heliocentric astronomy of Copernicus did not succeed the geocentered astronomy of Ptolemy because Copernicus’s system corresponded to experience and Ptolemy’s didn’t. With sufficient epicycles Ptolemy’s system could be made to correspond to our observations. The Copernican heliocentrism had won for political reasons. The fight against the religious heritage of the Hebrew Bible was what united the Roman Catholics and the Muslims. Very early we observe the growing alienation of the Roman Church from the Old Testament and Hebrew roots because of the Hellenization and universalization of the Christian message. On the other side, for the millions of Muslims Abraham was neither Jew nor Christian, but the first Muslim. He was believed to have founded the Kaaba in Mecca as the central sanctuary of the one God, and in this way he became the ancestor of the Arabs. On this political premise, the 12th-century Arab philosopher Averroës based his criticism of the Ptolemaic system and of the Biblical geocentrism for that matter: “Therefore new research work is necessary in order to find the “true” astronomy, which can be derived from the true principles of physics. As a matter of fact, today there is no astronomy at all, and what we call astronomy is in agreement with our computations but not with the physical reality.” Popular myth saw Averroës as a vile atheist. Interestingly, Voltaire who admired Pope Benedict XIV’s “enlightenment” dedicated to Averroes his tragedy Mahomet.
Averroes advocated the principle of non overlapping magisteria, of twofold truth (later embraced by the Renaissance neo-pagans) maintaining that religion has one sphere and philosophy another. Religion he said is for the unlettered multitude, philosophy for the chosen few. Religion teaches by signs and symbols; philosophy presents the truth itself. And that explains why the Bolsheviks titled their organ Pravda (The Truth).
In the opinion of Prof. Becker it would have been impossible for the Philosophes to have permitted God the father to fade away into the thin abstraction of a First Cause unless they were prepared to dispense with his revelation to men – the revelation through Holy Writ and Holy Church. Renunciation of the traditional revelation was the very condition of being truly enlightened; for to be truly enlightened was to see the light in its fullness, and the light in its fullness revealed two very simple and obvious facts. One of these contained the sum of those negations which we understand so well – the fact that the supposed revelation of God’s purposes through Holy Writ and Holy Church was a fraud, or at best an illusion born of ignorance, perpetrated, or at least maintained, by the priests in order to accentuate the fears of mankind, and so hold it in subjection. The other fact contained the sum of those affirmations which we understand less easily – that God had revealed his purpose to men in a far more simple and natural, a far less mysterious and recondite way, through his works. To be enlightened was to understand this double truth, that it was not in Holy Writ, but in the great book of nature, open for all mankind to read, that the laws of God had been recorded. This is the new revelation, and thus at least we enter the secret door to knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas’s judgment of the Ptolemaic system sounds as a paraphrase of Averroës’s criticism: “The assumptions made by the astronomers are not necessarily true. Although these hypotheses seem to be in agreement with the observed phenomena we must not claim that they are true. Perhaps one could explain the observed motion of the celestial bodies in a different way which has not been discovered up to this time.”
The Bible is for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
(Wycliffe, Preface to first English tr. of the Bible, 1384)
Master Jan Hus, a teacher at Prague University, preached at the Bethlehem Chapel. For him, the Bible was the greatest paradigm for living and the highest authority. He promoted the idea of a poor church. Coming closer to the perfect world of God was supposed to be the purpose of earthly endeavors. According to Hus and his followers, the disintegration of contemporary life throughout the country was indicative of the imminent arrival of the Anti-Christ. The German teachers at Prague University did not agree with Hus’s opinions. They apparently complained to the Pope himself about the alleged Czech heretics.
The king initially supported Hus, but Hus’s criticism of the selling of indulgences and the worsening reputation of a kingdom where the king apparently stayed his hand over a heretic changed the situation. The pope declared an interdict (i.e. a ban on church ceremonies – funerals, weddings, christenings, etc.) on Prague for as long as Jan Hus resided there.
Jan Hus went to the Council of Constance, which had been called by the king’s brother Sigismund Luxemburg, in order to defend the rightness of the Bohemian remedy for the Church. His efforts were in vain. He did not convince the Church dignitaries, and he refused to renounce his opinions. On July 6, 1415, he was burned to death at Constance. Today, this date is commemorated as a national state holiday in the Czech Republic. The delegates at the council managed to end the papal schism.
Jan Hus: Final Declaration, July 1, 1415
I, Jan Hus, in hope a priest of Jesus Christ, fearing to offend God, and fearing to fall into perjury, do hereby profess my unwillingness to abjure all or any of the articles produced against me by false witnesses. For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did. Moreover, concerning the articles that they have extracted from my books, I say that I detest any false interpretation which any of them bears. But inasmuch as I fear to offend against the truth, or to gainsay the opinion of the doctors of the Church, I cannot abjure any one of them. And if it were possible that my voice could now reach the whole world, as at the Day of Judgment every lie and every sin that I have committed will be made manifest, then would I gladly abjure before all the world every falsehood and error which I either had thought of saying or actually said!
I say I write this of my own free will and choice.
Written with my own hand, on the first day of July.
Seek the truthListen to the truthTeach the truthLove the truthAbide by the truthAnd defend the truthUnto death.~ John Hus
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again.~ William Cullen Bryant
What a contrast to Galileo's cowardice! He was probably inspired by the Fifth Dalai Lama, the heliofascist like himself who introduced his autobiography (Secret Biography) with an irony which undermined his own life's work in the following verses:
The erudite should not read this work, they will be embarrassed.
It is only for the guidance of fools who revel in fanciful ideas.

A 19th-century Polish historian stated boldly: “Even in the 16th century Polish literature was still written in Latin or was merely an adaptation of Latin patterns. There arose paradoxical situation that men loving in their hearts God of Truth, in their writings proclaimed glory of Apollo, Bacchus and other heathen deities.” Exactly like the Cracow Academy and its most illustrious student N. Copernicus.In historical reality, however, their paganism was always gaining the upper hand.
For instance, at the Council of Constance, Paul Vlodkovits, the Rector of the Cracow University defended the pagans’ right to existence and declared the practice of forcible conversion to be unchristian. But at the same time, he demanded John Hus to be burned at the stake, because he mined the Hebrew Bible for inspiration and regarded the Jews as his natural allies.
Prague and Cracow rose to international fame during the ensuing centuries, the first by preparing, with John Hus at its head, the intellectual climate for the Protestant Reformation; the second by sheltering Copernicus, the father of the Counter-Reformation which, in later historical development culminated in the Jewish Holocaust during WW II.
Interestingly, the Cracow University, also known as Jagiellonian University, was inaugurated by rector Stanislaw of Skalbmierz as a “sanctuary of Apollo's Muses.” Copernicus's seal shows one of those Muses. And Apollo became his god “seated in the middle of all and ruling his family of stars.”
The writer of the Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia makes the spirit to raise up from the dead a pagan called Boes, who had been dead two hundred years, and who told Dadianus, the governor that he had been on earth a worshiper of the “stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.” NASA rehabilitated Apollo; Pope John Paul II rehabilitated Galileo for what he was awarded the title Man of the Year (1994) by the Time magazine.

These are close-up images of the Prague Orloj, or Astronomical Clock. The clock was first created in 1410, with additions and repairs made over the centuries since then. There are three components of the clock, which is located at the Prague Town Hall. One is an astronomical clock, with hands following the Sun, Moon, and their movement through the Zodiac. There's also a calendar dial with gold medallions for of the months of the year. The third section has moving sculptures of the Apostles, and is called Walk of the Apostles.
The Hussite movement commemorated their national revival tied the the Bible by the geocentric clock constructed as early as 1410 by Miklush of Kadan is the symbol of John Hus’s revolution which regarded as the supreme head of the Church on earth not the Pope, but Jesus, the Defender of the Bible*. On the astronomical dial of Prague, the movement of the starry skies around the earth is shown by a smaller, eccentric ring that is marked with the signs of the constellations (the Latin term firmamentum used by Jerome in his Vulgate suggests the heliocentric immobility of the starry skies i.e. fixed stars). Fixed, in the middle of the face is the earth, including its meridians, parallels, and poles, with Prague at the center. On the face are also three circles representing the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The dial thus shows the relative positions of earth, moon, and stars throughout the year. Below the astronomical dial is the calendar disk, on which country scenes are painted to depict each month of the year. Every hour on hour from eight in the morning until eight at night, this amazing mechanism springs to life. At the end of WWII, Nazi forces tried to destroy the astronomical clock by setting fire to the Old Town Hall. Pope John Paul II tried to put this clock into oblivion by rehabilitating Galileo…
* In a speech delivered Feb. 2, 1994 (See National Catholic Register, March 20, 1994) Card. J. Ratzinger stressed: “The Catechism thus connects the special mission of Jesus to His fidelity to the Torah; it sees in Him the servant of God who truly brings justice (Is 42:3)…This perfect fulfillment includes Jesus taking upon Himself the “curse of the Law” incurred by those who do not abide by the things written in the Book of the Law, and do them (Gal. 3:10). And listen to this: “Where the conflict between Jesus and the Judaism of His time is presented in a superficial, polemical way, a concept of liberation is derived which can understand the Torah only as a slavery to external rites and observances.”
Copernicus’s only motive in his research was his conviction that there was no established doctrine and, not a spirit of opposition against the established doctrine. That explains the fact that he joined to his book the letter he had received from Cardinal Schőnberg some years before and that he dedicated his work to Pope Paul III. Card. Schoenberg urged him to publish his book: “Thus, learned Sir, I hope that I will not be deemed a nuisance when I urgently request you to communicate your discovery to the learned world.” Tiedman Giese, Bishop of Kulm also insisted for a long time on publication. Copernicus’s brother Andreas was a high-ranking curialist…

ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK
Was Tycho Brahe Murdered by a Contract Killer?
By Matthias Schulz
Over 400 years after the death of Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, scientists in Prague are preparing to exhume his body. Was Europe's most renowned scholar poisoned with mercury? A Danish scholar claims to have decoded the murderer's diary.
Peter Andersen's new theory
But a new lead has emerged in the search for the killer. Peter Andersen, a Strasbourg German Studies expert, has studied all individuals who were in contact with the Prague court astronomer. Andersen also says he's identified the killer: Erik Brahe, a Swedish count. Historians traditionally consider him a "friend" and "affectionate cousin" of Tycho Brahe. He was in Brahe's house shortly before the astronomer's death.
Johannes Kepler, later used Brahe's accumulated observations to confirm and better the Copernican system, which Brahe himself had rejected.
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.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM WITHOUT PLUTO
Stephen CauchiAugust 26, 2006
THE WORLD is coming to grips with the news that Pluto is a planet no more.
Thursday's decision by the International Astronomical Union meeting in Prague to strip Pluto of its planetary status, held since its discovery in 1930, has saddened those with a sentimental attachment to it. But most astronomers applaud the decision.
Aleksander WolszczanSeptember 25, 2008 4:30 PM Subscribe
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.
T. Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo was well aware that Galileo's inspiration for seeing the detail of the moon that is invisible was derived from the same source as Muhammad's claim about billions upon billions of virgins inhabiting the “heavenly bodies” built of four philosophical elements. He wrote:
“Galileo also says that water exists on the Moon and the planets which cannot be. These bodies are incorruptible, for do not all scholastics contend with Aristotle that they endure without change throughout all time? He describes land and mountains in the Moon and other celestial globes, and not only vilifies immeasurably the homes of the angels, but lessens our hope regarding Heaven.
“If the four elements which form our world exist in the stars, it follows from the doctrine of Galileo that, as Mohammed declared, there are many world with lands and seas and with human inhabitants. However, Scripture speaks of only one world and of one created man, so that this belief is opposed to Scripture. I pass without comment the opinion that Galileo has revived the heresy that Christ must make atonement for the men who inhabit the stars and die there again; just as formerly it was said that Christ must be crucified a second time in the antipodes, if the men living there were to be saved as we have been saved.”
Muhammad, for political reasons, rejected the idea of the Biblical Eden planted by God on earth and embraced instead the idea of the garden of Immortality that the Babylonian myth placed in Heaven. Unlike the Biblical Adam who was simply “sent forth from the garden of Eden” (Gen. 3:23), the Koran’s Adam was “sent down from the garden” (Sura Ta-Ha 20:123). Similarly, in the so-called Gospel of Marcion Jesus was send down, maybe from a “hanging, heavenly garden”, like a certain Clark Kent who can live in Smallville, like huris can live up there:
The sudden demotion of A. Wolszczan is a serious challenge to pope John Paul II's scientific legacy but is understandable in the context of the new Russian Patriarch who rejected darwinism.
According to the ecumenical Declaration the Orthodox Patriarch Alexei said to Y. Arafat during a meeting with him: “Please, believe that ‘the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,’ as Pascal put it, and not the God of the philosophers and learned men, will come to you one day, will take you by the hand and guide you, if you truly wish it.” Possibly, the Patriarch alluded critically to John Paul II’s theology as proclaimed in his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope. But one has to keep in mind that Col 2:8 rejected philosophy as “the tradition of men…and not after Christ.”
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...” Then, when Patriarch Alexei passed away, Metropolitan Kyrill was elected an interim Patriarch of Russia.
Metropolitan Kirill elected as 16th Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia
27.01.2009, 22.25
MOSCOW, January 27 (Itar-Tass) -- Sixty-two-year-old Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad has been elected as the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia with 508 votes out of 701 at the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Isidor of Yekaterinodar and Kuban said.
One thing is certain. Unlike pope John Paul II, he will be considered a friend of the Turkish people, whom Darwin considered a subhuman race. The Turkish publicist Harun Yahya savages Darwin in his books and articles distributed in all areas of the Muslim World, and especially of the Turkic nations inhabiting the vast areas between the Meditarrenan Sea nd the Pacific.

The Perennial Aryan Heliocentrism
"Vishnu in the form of the Solar active energy, neither ever rises nor sets, and is at once, the sevenfold Sun and distinct from it," says Vishnu Purana (Book II., Chap. 1 1). Shiva in his symbol linga is referred to as as fixed or immovable (dhruva). Shiva is worshiped in the form of the linga, in the center of the temple, or inner shrine.
The serpent Mantra, in the Aytareya-Brahmana, a passage which speaks of the earth as the Sarpa Rajni, the Queen of the Serpents, and "the mother of all that moves." These expressions refer to the fact that before our globe had become egg-shaped or round it was a long trail of cosmic dust or fire-mist, moving and writhing like a serpent. This, say the explanations, was the Spirit of God moving on the chaos until its breath had incubated cosmic matter and made it assume the annular shape of a serpent with its tail in its mouth -- emblem of eternity (vol II, chp. 10)
T. Campanella in his book Apologia pro Galileo argued: “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. 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.
“Aristotle testifies, that Pythagoras, who located the place of punishment in the center of the earth and made fire the cause of motion, described the earth as mobile and animate. So Ovid believes in “Metamorphoses”, Origin in his commentary on Ezechiel, and Plato. It is essential, if hell be in the center of the earth, for earth to be hot within, and, according to Gregory and others cited in the argument of St. Thomas, to be mobile. The interpretation of Galileo does not oppose the belief of St. Gregory, but rather that of Aristotle.”
The Aryan Romans vs. the Semitic Jews
In Dante’s De monarchia the “Divine Predestination” of the Roman people as the world ruling power is derived not from interpretations of the Hebrew prophets or from the appointments of Peter but from the genealogical tree of Aeneas and Creusa! Race and not religion is the decisive thing for Dante. Campanella, an early apologist of Galileo observed: “Love is foremost in attending to the change of the race; men and women are so joined together, that they bring forth the best offspring.” Campanella can be considered a father of the modern eugenics which goes hand in hand with the materialism of heliocentrism. Cicero considered Jews a nation condemned to eternal slavery (nationmibus nati servituti).
M. Palmieri argued in his book The Philosophy of Fascism, (Chicago 1936): The triumph of the idea of Order, of Authority, of equal justice under Law, saw the Empire of Augustus and of Trajanus give to mankind (!) for the first and only time in human history the life-enhancing blessing of political unity. The triumph of the Catholic Idea of salvation in Christ and through Christ and His Church saw the Empire of the Church give to mankind the life-inspiring blessing of spiritual unity. A spiritual power generated from those great Italian spirits who have been in the past the assertors of Rome’s immortal and eternal right to Empire, and the prophets of Rome’s third form of Empire, is the leaven which has brought about that fermentation of spiritual forces called Fascism… Providence chose the Italian land for this high destiny, nourishing a spark of divine truth in it “ab antico” and molding there a race wonderfully adapted in genius and intelligence for subjecting the whole world in Christian obedience…Italy is the priestly nation among the great body of redeemed peoples…Nor did the inhabitants of this peninsula give to other peoples merely divine gifts, but also every other civil and human good, and all the great intellects of Europe, who enhanced in any measure the glory of their countries, lit their lamps at the living flame of Italian genius.”
Both the Vatican Library and the Vatican Museums are 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. “(Guide to the Vatican Museums Gestione Vendita Publicazioni Musei Vaticani, Citta del Vaticano. 1979, o. 12) www.intothelight.org/answers/jesus-as-the-sin...
The Book of Nature vs. the Bible
St. Bernard of Clairvaux who tried to combine a mystical life of absorption in God with his friendship for those in misery could also commune with nature and say:
Believe me, for I know, you will find something far greater in the woods than in the books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you cannot learn from the masters.
In other words, instead of attending school, our children should roam the woods and associate with packs of animals, like the Buddha, who “lived like an animal” or, the later Celtic Merlin, sometimes called the Hairy Anchorite, who himself ran with the beasts of the forests, a prefiguration of Tarzan.
The French theologian Alain de Lille – Alanus de Insulis – discovered at the end of the 12th c., this formula which the ages to come would not forget: “God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.” The last chapter of the last book of Pantagruel referred to “that intellectual sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference nowhere, which we call God.”
The thought that the divinity had written a book moved them to imagine that he had written two, and that the other one was the universe. At the beginning of the 17th c., Francis Bacon declared in his Advancement of Learning that God offered us two books so that we would not fall into error: the first, the volume of the Scriptures, reveals His will; the second, the volume of the creatures, reveals His power and is the key to the former. Bacon intended much more than the making of a metaphor; he believed that the world was reducible to essential forms (temperatures, densities, weights, colors), which formed, in a limited number, an abecedarium naturae or series of letters with which the universal text is written.
Philosophy, Galileo tells Sarsi in the Assayer, is not like the Iliad or Orlando Furioso, books in which the least important thing is whether what is written is true. Galileo’s works abound with the concept of the universe as a book.
The second section of Favaro’s anthology (Galileo Galilei: Pensieri, motti e sentenze; Florence, 1949) is entitled Il libro della Natura. I quote the following paragraph: “Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” Can anybody translate the Decalogue into the language of Galileo's Book of Nature? Natural History is obviously evolutionism.

According to the Jesuit Juan de Mariana (b. 1536) man in the state of nature would be man stripped of all the clothing time has put upon him, divested of all specific habits and notions that belong to particular times, thrust outside all circumstance that is not permanent, at once an absolute and a mere potentiality.

This is the new revelation, and thus at least we enter the secret door to knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas’s judgment of the Ptolemaic system sounds as a paraphrase of Averroës’s criticism: “The assumptions made by the astronomers are not necessarily true. Although these hypotheses seem to be in agreement with the observed phenomena we must not claim that they are true. Perhaps one could explain the observed motion of the celestial bodies in a different way which has not been discovered up to this time.”
The Bible is for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
(Wycliffe, Preface to first English tr. of the Bible, 1384)
Master Jan Hus, a teacher at Prague University, preached at the Bethlehem Chapel. For him, the Bible was the greatest paradigm for living and the highest authority. He promoted the idea of a poor church. Coming closer to the perfect world of God was supposed to be the purpose of earthly endeavors. According to Hus and his followers, the disintegration of contemporary life throughout the country was indicative of the imminent arrival of the Anti-Christ. The German teachers at Prague University did not agree with Hus’s opinions. They apparently complained to the Pope himself about the alleged Czech heretics.
The king initially supported Hus, but Hus’s criticism of the selling of indulgences and the worsening reputation of a kingdom where the king apparently stayed his hand over a heretic changed the situation. The pope declared an interdict (i.e. a ban on church ceremonies – funerals, weddings, christenings, etc.) on Prague for as long as Jan Hus resided there.
Jan Hus went to the Council of Constance, which had been called by the king’s brother Sigismund Luxemburg, in order to defend the rightness of the Bohemian remedy for the Church. His efforts were in vain. He did not convince the Church dignitaries, and he refused to renounce his opinions. On July 6, 1415, he was burned to death at Constance. Today, this date is commemorated as a national state holiday in the Czech Republic. The delegates at the council managed to end the papal schism.
Jan Hus: Final Declaration, July 1, 1415
I, Jan Hus, in hope a priest of Jesus Christ, fearing to offend God, and fearing to fall into perjury, do hereby profess my unwillingness to abjure all or any of the articles produced against me by false witnesses. For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did. Moreover, concerning the articles that they have extracted from my books, I say that I detest any false interpretation which any of them bears. But inasmuch as I fear to offend against the truth, or to gainsay the opinion of the doctors of the Church, I cannot abjure any one of them. And if it were possible that my voice could now reach the whole world, as at the Day of Judgment every lie and every sin that I have committed will be made manifest, then would I gladly abjure before all the world every falsehood and error which I either had thought of saying or actually said!
I say I write this of my own free will and choice.
Written with my own hand, on the first day of July.
Seek the truthListen to the truthTeach the truthLove the truthAbide by the truthAnd defend the truthUnto death.~ John Hus
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again.~ William Cullen Bryant
What a contrast to Galileo's cowardice! He was probably inspired by the Fifth Dalai Lama, the heliofascist like himself who introduced his autobiography (Secret Biography) with an irony which undermined his own life's work in the following verses:
The erudite should not read this work, they will be embarrassed.
It is only for the guidance of fools who revel in fanciful ideas.

A 19th-century Polish historian stated boldly: “Even in the 16th century Polish literature was still written in Latin or was merely an adaptation of Latin patterns. There arose paradoxical situation that men loving in their hearts God of Truth, in their writings proclaimed glory of Apollo, Bacchus and other heathen deities.” Exactly like the Cracow Academy and its most illustrious student N. Copernicus.In historical reality, however, their paganism was always gaining the upper hand.
For instance, at the Council of Constance, Paul Vlodkovits, the Rector of the Cracow University defended the pagans’ right to existence and declared the practice of forcible conversion to be unchristian. But at the same time, he demanded John Hus to be burned at the stake, because he mined the Hebrew Bible for inspiration and regarded the Jews as his natural allies.
Prague and Cracow rose to international fame during the ensuing centuries, the first by preparing, with John Hus at its head, the intellectual climate for the Protestant Reformation; the second by sheltering Copernicus, the father of the Counter-Reformation which, in later historical development culminated in the Jewish Holocaust during WW II.
Interestingly, the Cracow University, also known as Jagiellonian University, was inaugurated by rector Stanislaw of Skalbmierz as a “sanctuary of Apollo's Muses.” Copernicus's seal shows one of those Muses. And Apollo became his god “seated in the middle of all and ruling his family of stars.”
The writer of the Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia makes the spirit to raise up from the dead a pagan called Boes, who had been dead two hundred years, and who told Dadianus, the governor that he had been on earth a worshiper of the “stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.” NASA rehabilitated Apollo; Pope John Paul II rehabilitated Galileo for what he was awarded the title Man of the Year (1994) by the Time magazine.

These are close-up images of the Prague Orloj, or Astronomical Clock. The clock was first created in 1410, with additions and repairs made over the centuries since then. There are three components of the clock, which is located at the Prague Town Hall. One is an astronomical clock, with hands following the Sun, Moon, and their movement through the Zodiac. There's also a calendar dial with gold medallions for of the months of the year. The third section has moving sculptures of the Apostles, and is called Walk of the Apostles.
The Hussite movement commemorated their national revival tied the the Bible by the geocentric clock constructed as early as 1410 by Miklush of Kadan is the symbol of John Hus’s revolution which regarded as the supreme head of the Church on earth not the Pope, but Jesus, the Defender of the Bible*. On the astronomical dial of Prague, the movement of the starry skies around the earth is shown by a smaller, eccentric ring that is marked with the signs of the constellations (the Latin term firmamentum used by Jerome in his Vulgate suggests the heliocentric immobility of the starry skies i.e. fixed stars). Fixed, in the middle of the face is the earth, including its meridians, parallels, and poles, with Prague at the center. On the face are also three circles representing the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The dial thus shows the relative positions of earth, moon, and stars throughout the year. Below the astronomical dial is the calendar disk, on which country scenes are painted to depict each month of the year. Every hour on hour from eight in the morning until eight at night, this amazing mechanism springs to life. At the end of WWII, Nazi forces tried to destroy the astronomical clock by setting fire to the Old Town Hall. Pope John Paul II tried to put this clock into oblivion by rehabilitating Galileo…
* In a speech delivered Feb. 2, 1994 (See National Catholic Register, March 20, 1994) Card. J. Ratzinger stressed: “The Catechism thus connects the special mission of Jesus to His fidelity to the Torah; it sees in Him the servant of God who truly brings justice (Is 42:3)…This perfect fulfillment includes Jesus taking upon Himself the “curse of the Law” incurred by those who do not abide by the things written in the Book of the Law, and do them (Gal. 3:10). And listen to this: “Where the conflict between Jesus and the Judaism of His time is presented in a superficial, polemical way, a concept of liberation is derived which can understand the Torah only as a slavery to external rites and observances.”
Copernicus’s only motive in his research was his conviction that there was no established doctrine and, not a spirit of opposition against the established doctrine. That explains the fact that he joined to his book the letter he had received from Cardinal Schőnberg some years before and that he dedicated his work to Pope Paul III. Card. Schoenberg urged him to publish his book: “Thus, learned Sir, I hope that I will not be deemed a nuisance when I urgently request you to communicate your discovery to the learned world.” Tiedman Giese, Bishop of Kulm also insisted for a long time on publication. Copernicus’s brother Andreas was a high-ranking curialist…

ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK
Was Tycho Brahe Murdered by a Contract Killer?
By Matthias Schulz
Over 400 years after the death of Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, scientists in Prague are preparing to exhume his body. Was Europe's most renowned scholar poisoned with mercury? A Danish scholar claims to have decoded the murderer's diary.
Peter Andersen's new theory
But a new lead has emerged in the search for the killer. Peter Andersen, a Strasbourg German Studies expert, has studied all individuals who were in contact with the Prague court astronomer. Andersen also says he's identified the killer: Erik Brahe, a Swedish count. Historians traditionally consider him a "friend" and "affectionate cousin" of Tycho Brahe. He was in Brahe's house shortly before the astronomer's death.
Johannes Kepler, later used Brahe's accumulated observations to confirm and better the Copernican system, which Brahe himself had rejected.
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.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM WITHOUT PLUTO
Stephen CauchiAugust 26, 2006
THE WORLD is coming to grips with the news that Pluto is a planet no more.
Thursday's decision by the International Astronomical Union meeting in Prague to strip Pluto of its planetary status, held since its discovery in 1930, has saddened those with a sentimental attachment to it. But most astronomers applaud the decision.
Aleksander WolszczanSeptember 25, 2008 4:30 PM Subscribe
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.
T. Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo was well aware that Galileo's inspiration for seeing the detail of the moon that is invisible was derived from the same source as Muhammad's claim about billions upon billions of virgins inhabiting the “heavenly bodies” built of four philosophical elements. He wrote:
“Galileo also says that water exists on the Moon and the planets which cannot be. These bodies are incorruptible, for do not all scholastics contend with Aristotle that they endure without change throughout all time? He describes land and mountains in the Moon and other celestial globes, and not only vilifies immeasurably the homes of the angels, but lessens our hope regarding Heaven.
“If the four elements which form our world exist in the stars, it follows from the doctrine of Galileo that, as Mohammed declared, there are many world with lands and seas and with human inhabitants. However, Scripture speaks of only one world and of one created man, so that this belief is opposed to Scripture. I pass without comment the opinion that Galileo has revived the heresy that Christ must make atonement for the men who inhabit the stars and die there again; just as formerly it was said that Christ must be crucified a second time in the antipodes, if the men living there were to be saved as we have been saved.”
Muhammad, for political reasons, rejected the idea of the Biblical Eden planted by God on earth and embraced instead the idea of the garden of Immortality that the Babylonian myth placed in Heaven. Unlike the Biblical Adam who was simply “sent forth from the garden of Eden” (Gen. 3:23), the Koran’s Adam was “sent down from the garden” (Sura Ta-Ha 20:123). Similarly, in the so-called Gospel of Marcion Jesus was send down, maybe from a “hanging, heavenly garden”, like a certain Clark Kent who can live in Smallville, like huris can live up there:
The sudden demotion of A. Wolszczan is a serious challenge to pope John Paul II's scientific legacy but is understandable in the context of the new Russian Patriarch who rejected darwinism.
According to the ecumenical Declaration the Orthodox Patriarch Alexei said to Y. Arafat during a meeting with him: “Please, believe that ‘the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,’ as Pascal put it, and not the God of the philosophers and learned men, will come to you one day, will take you by the hand and guide you, if you truly wish it.” Possibly, the Patriarch alluded critically to John Paul II’s theology as proclaimed in his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope. But one has to keep in mind that Col 2:8 rejected philosophy as “the tradition of men…and not after Christ.”
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...” Then, when Patriarch Alexei passed away, Metropolitan Kyrill was elected an interim Patriarch of Russia.
Metropolitan Kirill elected as 16th Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia
27.01.2009, 22.25
MOSCOW, January 27 (Itar-Tass) -- Sixty-two-year-old Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad has been elected as the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia with 508 votes out of 701 at the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Isidor of Yekaterinodar and Kuban said.
One thing is certain. Unlike pope John Paul II, he will be considered a friend of the Turkish people, whom Darwin considered a subhuman race. The Turkish publicist Harun Yahya savages Darwin in his books and articles distributed in all areas of the Muslim World, and especially of the Turkic nations inhabiting the vast areas between the Meditarrenan Sea nd the Pacific.

YHWH vs. Aryan Math
In very early times great respect was paid to baboon; and the simple-minded Egyptian, when he heard him chattering just before the sunrise and sunset, assumed that he was in some way holding converse or was intimately connected with the sun god.
In Phaidros Plato and Socrates declare that “He (Toth, the Egyptian baboon-shaped god of wisdom) was who invented numbers and arithmetic and geometry...” Aristotle also argued that the Egyptians had created the caste system and hence “Egypt was the cradle of mathematics because the caste of priests were given great leisure.” According to him, the priests had invented the mathematikai technai (mathematical arts), which included geometry, arithmetic and astronomy, which the Greeks were beginning to possess. These priests spent most of their time squaring circles to find out the value of the number π.
With time, Thoth evolved into a human and under his Greek name Hermes Trismegistus wrote a book entitled Hermetica which, became the inspiration for all subsequent heliocentrists including early Church Fathers and Copernicus. Hermes became an icon in many Roman churches; one of them should be mentioned here. It was painted by Giovanni di Stefano in 1488 for the Cathedral of Siena; its stylized frame is made of swastikas, the solar symbol since time immemorial. Let me remind here that Adolf Hitler who for a period of time resided at Lambach Abbey in Austria, first saw the swastika symbol on the Abbey's exterior decorations.
The early heliomaniac, pharaoh Akhenaten had his children portrayed as apes. In 1838 Charles Darwin wrote: “Origin of man now proved...He who understands baboon would do more toward metaphysics than Locke.” Heliocentrism and evolutionism converge in the baboon-shaped god Thoth.
Ficino translated Orphica, a collection of hymns to various pagan deities, attributed to Orpheus but actually dating from the early centuries AD. He practiced magical self-improvement by singing hymns, accompanying himself on his ‘Orphic lyre’. He believed that by singing the hymn to a particular planetary deity, while concentrating his thoughts and emotions on the planet, he could draw down into himself a flow of the planet’s influence and power..
One of Ficino’s pupils, Francesco da Dia Cetto, explained more clearly how this was done. To attract the influence of the sun, the Orphic hymn to the deity was sung when the sun was ascending in Leo or Aries, on a Sunday and in the hour of the sun. The magician surrounded himself with things corresponding to the sun. He wore a golden mantle and a crown of laurel, strewed sunflowers about him, burned myrrh and frankincense on an altar and anointed himself with saffron, balsam or honey made when the sun was in Leo. The technique induced a sense of superhuman power, which could be applied to curing disease or for any other purpose.
In Egyptian myths a Cow was impregnated by a beam of light from the Sun, and a white bull-calf was born which became the sacred Apis Bull. G. Bruno who dreamed about converting the world to the solar religion of the ancient Egypt was like those Israelites who forced Aaron”to make them Golden Calf” because the gold was believed in Egypt to be flesh of the sun god.
Palestinian history textbook teach: “Moses and his followers wandered in the desert; they were not endowed with any scientific or artistic talents and made no cultural achievements whatsoever…” Because they did not belong to the leisure class they could not have science.
Using the words of the Psalmist, the founding fathers of the modern astronomy and their Palestinian admirers: “Set their mouth against the Heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. And they say how God knows. And is there knowledge in the Eternal God?” (Ps. 73:9-11).
They recognized the God of the Bible as a liar and ignoramus because He taught: “When you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon, and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing them or serving them” (Dt. 4:9)
Behind the scholastic equivalence of light and matter which gives rise to the “world machine” (machina mundi) by plurifying itself was the concept of the philosophers who speculated that all things were composed of atoms and who said that bodies were composed of surfaces, and surfaces of lines, and lines of points, like in Galileo's Book of Nature But since there is no reality to a mathematical point or line, except when they are being conceptualized as such the world of Euclid belongs to the same category as the world of Platonic ideas; though merely mental, they were the ultimate objects, of which the visible and tangible objects of the world were only pale shadows. And that’s exactly what the Indian yogis dismissed contemptuously as the illusory realm of maya. In the Eastern view, searching for some kind of reality, either in the physical world (prakriti) or in the rational mind (manas) is a sheer waste of time, since they are both ultimately unreal - “phantom figures” in Omar Khayyam's heliocentric rubayat. We are such stuff as dreams are made of (Shakespeare)
The Buddhist aims at pure consciousness with no object in sight, which is practically synonymous with sunya (this sunya is the conditio sine qua non for the Newton gravity to work), the void. The Buddha merely stressed the sole reality of nirvana, which the Germans translate as Nullpunkt.The Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are the cornerstones of the Taoist tradition and in them we find the initial identification of Nonbeing (Big Bang’s starting point) with the source of all things.
In other places, the preferred term is wu (in Japanese, mu), commonly translated as “Nonbeing”. Chuang Tzu, in effect, made Nonbeing an equivalent for the absolute Tao, a kind of absolute void. The principles of this nihilistic ontology are mirrored in Hindu mathematics which evolved into a mature place-value system promoting to full membership of a tenth numeral a round symbol for zero (graphic representation of point) or sunya, as the Hindus called it. Confusion about the status of this mysterious numeral persisted for centuries, and as late as the 15th century it was described as “a symbol that merely causes trouble and lack of clarity.”
How, it was asked, could a symbol, which means “nothing”, when placed after another numeral, enhance its value tenfold? The problem finds its solution in the philosophical theory of a “coincidence of opposites”, that is identification of elements that are mutually exclusive in ordinary logic. The goal of introspection is to overcome the intellectual “opposites”; the being arises in the context of non-being; man is a walking corpse, as a Russian proverb says. The Buddhist concept was known as dhrama-dhatus pratitya-samupada, which translates as “the interdependent arising of the universe”: things are said to have “emptiness” and “fullness of emptiness” at the same time.
According to Max Muller "the two words 'cipher' and 'zero,' are in reality but one. Cipher is the Arabic sifr, and means empty, a translation of the Sanskrit name of the nought sunya. The Arabs had their figures from Hindustan, and never claimed the discovery for themselves. In Boethius's Geometry, composed in the sixth century, we find the Pythagorean numerals the 1 and the nought, as the first and final cipher.
Consider James Jeans’ description of the universe of relativity as the four-dimensional surface of a cosmic sphere of which the inside is made of “empty space welded onto empty time.” The Puranas insist on the identity of Vishnu with Time and Space. And Vishnu, like Chuang Tzu's absolute Tao, is a kind of absolute void. The Jewish Pythagoreans or kabbalists recognized numbers as prima materia. Their “Genesis” proclaimed: In the beginning nothing (zero) blew up. Amen!
Accordingly, the modern heliocentrists believe that the world we see and experience in everyday life is simply a convenient mirage attuned to our very limited sense, an illusion conjured by our perceptions and our mind. All that is around us, which appears so substantial, is ultimately nothing but ephemeral networks of particle-waves whirling around at light speed – so called matter is mostly emptiness, void of anything except occasional dots and spots! And scattered electric charges. If all the nuclei of all atoms that make up the whole of mankind were packed together, their global aggregate would be the size of a large grain of rice. But that “grain of rice” devours daily two billion eggs, 1.6 million tons of corn, 727,000 tons of potatoes, 365,000 tons of rice, and the “favoured races” of the world enjoy 2.7 tons of caviar in Moscow’s restaurants! That’s how the heliocentric magic works!
The Bible follows Israel’s 12 memorial stones from the temporarily dry bed of the Jordan (Josh 4:19) to a place called Gilgal and then loses track of them forever. The word ‘gilgal’ means ‘a circle of stone’, (Ibn Ezra in his 12th c. work The Book of the Number calls zero galgal, meaning wheel or circle) and throughout Europe and the Mideast, “circles of large stones have been found dating back a quarter million years or more, to homo erectus times.” The most famous stone circle is Stonehenge. Stonehenge well corresponds to Diodorus’s description of a “magnificent temple of Apollo” which he locates “in the center of Britain.” At that time the British had already their first homo erectus, I don't know, if male or female, or maybe both evolved simultaneously!
Sar (circle) is the Babylonian god of the sky. He is also Assaros or Asshur (the son of Shem), and Zero -- Zero-ana, the chakkra, or wheel, boundless time. The god Aten, or the Egyptian counterpart of the Nordic Odin (Wotan) had originally represented merely the physical sun, but Amenhotep stripped that body of all the gross theological conceptions which had been linked with it ever since the Pyramid Age endowed it with a new esoteric meaning. The ancient symbols of Ra – the pyramid, the falcon, the lion and cat- he replaced by a simple CIRCLE representing the sun’s disk. Since then, as Plato observed, god was always geometrizing writing for Galileo the Book of Nature. (“Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” Galileo Galilei: Pensieri, motti e sentenze; Florence, 1949) The Hindu Vishnu holds a disc or a rounded piece of gold in his hand. The Egyptian Ra wears a disc as a crown.
A Babylonian column made of serpent-circles, bears on its top a symbol of the sun. Such a pole is symbolic of the pivotal point around which all things turn, and so is a counterpart of the Buddhist Tree of Enlightenment in the “Immovable Spot” at the center of the world.
The chakra (wheel) represented the sun in early Vedic ceremonies. With the wheeling planets overhead and the circumference of the horizon, the cosmos of the ancients must have seemed obviously circular. Life in the cosmos was created, and maintained, by the balance of opposing forces – male and female, day and night, heat and cold, good and evil, attraction and repulsion (coincidence of opposites ). Such ideas as this concerning the nature of the universe were summarized in the “wheel of life”. To this diagram of cosmic principles, must be added a concept which seems, almost visibly, to set the cosmic circle to revolving like a wheel. This is the idea, present in Sanskrit, Pali, and Greek, that life occurs in an endless cycle of rebirths.
No wonder then that the Hebrews destroyed the circles of stones that stood for this solar theology also known by its Greek term anakuklesis. The phoenix-like character of matter reborn from its “ashes” was “proved” by the Soviet physicist A. Sakharov in his dogma of the “solar phoenix”, or strictly materialistic principle of the “spontaneous resurrection of energy (The Hindu term brahma means energy) such as takes place in the sun's core.”
A certain Honi the circle drawer used to invoke God's power (through drawing circles) to cause it to rain. John Dominique Crossan argues the Honi in drawing his circles was performing magic, not as an Hasid (a Hasid being a charismatic figure who worked wonders and operated outside of the established religion) but as a magician, which got results. E.P. Sanders discussed Honi as the son who importunes the father for blessings as a parallel to Jesus being called the “Son of God” in Matthew 14:33. The reason is because no one ever claimed that Honi attributed to his own power the ability to cause it to rain from making circles, rather it was because God answered his prayers. The passage in Matthew 26:53 claimed the same for Jesus when he said: “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Morton Smith in his book Jesus the magician and other works tried to convince their audience that Jesus was a magician and magic was the modus operandi in Early Christianity.
Josephus had emphasized Honi's being a zaddik, that is a righteous man who prayed and God answered, and how later Honi was stoned to death for refusing to use his power of calling on God to curse others' enemies to help them in war. In Josephus' original account of Honi, he was considered a man of powerful prayer, but not as a miracle worker. This aspect of Honi developed in the later Mishnah and Talmuds which basically shows Honi undergoing a “rabbinization” in order that his actions of drawing circles was in accord with the Torah and the Sanhedrin confirms his action.
Eisenman has further shown how the letter of James in the New Testament climaxes in the imagery of rain, comparing the coming of the Lord with the judgment with the coming of the rain (James 5:4-8). Eisenman, notes that Epiphanius told that James when he prayed to God with uplifted hands to heaven, heaven at once sent rain. James did this as the High Prriest “wearing the mitre of the High Priest.”
Some scholars have identified Honi with the leader of the Qumran community. Craig A. Evans also discusses Honi's obdurate determination for an answer to his prayer as paralleling the parables that Jesus taught of the importunate widow (Lk 18:1-8), and the persistent friend (Lk 11:5-8)
Math has drawn its strength from “imaginary” or, more properly speaking, absolutely inconceivable magnitudes known as irrational numbers. Among them there is a large number of the most important quantities that constantly occur in all calculations, e.g. the square roots of most numbers, the relation of the diagonals to the side of a square, of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. There is an acute remark of Goethe’s: “He who devotes himself to nature attempts to find the squaring of the circle.” Like the above mentioned Egyptian priests. In fact, it is the religious ritual imposed on all mathematician again by the sacred books of the Hindu religion. This problem is better understandable if one keeps in mind that Greek mathematicians did not need to name their numbers since they worked with numbers as lengths of lines.
In the Rig-Vedas, every male head of a family was obliged to perform, every day, certain acts of worship known as purvas. For this purpose he had to set up in his house three kinds of fire, protecting his house and the fires by placing them in altars of special design. The fires were known as Dakshina, Garhapatya and Ahavaneeya. The altars, intended to shield the fires, had to be built to design plans, which related them to each other in shape and area. For example, the problem might be to construct square altar equal in area to a given circular altar. This insoluble problem was “solved” by regarding the latter as a polygon with an “infinite” number of sides, all therefore infinitely small.
De Morgan in his book Budget of Paradoxes (1872) suggested the term ‘morbus cyclometricus’ as being the ‘circle squaring disease.’ De Morgan tried to persuade these circlesquarers that their methods were incorrect.
“It is almost unbelievable that a definition of π was used, at least as an excuse, for a racial attack on the eminent mathematician Edmund Landau in 1934. Landau had defined π in his textbook published in Gőttingen in that year by the, now fairly usual, method of saying that π/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes. This unleashed an academic dispute, which was to end in Landau’s dismissal from his chair at Gőttingen. Bierbach, an eminent number theorist who disgraced himself by his racist views, explains the reasons for Landau’s dismissal: - Thus the valiant rejection by the Gőttingen student body which a great mathematician, Edmund Landau, has experienced is due in the final analysis to the fact that the un-German style of this man in his research and teaching is unbearable to German feelings. A people who have perceived how members of another race are working to impose ideas foreign to its own must refuse teachers of an alien culture.” (A history of Pi, http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uc/~history/HistTopics/Pi_through_the_ages.html)
In Plato’s Timaeus we read that the sphere is the most perfect and most uniform shape, because all points on its surface are equidistant from the center. Parmenides, repeated the image: “Being is like the mass of a well-rounded sphere, whose force is constant from the center in any direction.” This idea inspired the expanding universe of Big Bang.
The Sicilian Empedocles of Agrigento devised a laborious cosmogony; there is one stage in which the particles of earth, air, fire, and water form an endless sphere, “the round Sphairos, which rejoices in its circular solitude.”
The French theologian Alain de Lille – Alanus de Insulis – discovered at the end of the 12th c., this formula which the ages to come would not forget: “God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”
A Christian sermon that has survived from the mid-fifth century called On The Trinity quotes in profusion the words of the Pagan gods. The doctrine of the trinity probably derives from sacred geometry: “the transcendental number” π is hidden within the circle, a symbol of the All and so of God.” The un-German style of Edmund Landau was that his value of π had nothing to do with the revelation of pagan gods but was rather inspired by the Biblical value of this number which is 3. (1 Kings 7: 23 and II Chronicles 4:2 )
According to modern mathematician it is “not a very accurate value and not even very accurate in its day, for the Egyptian and Mesopotamian values of 25/8 = 3.125 and √10=3.162 have been traced to much earlier dates. Well, if you want to make a circle you simply choose the length of radius not a particular value of π, which is irrelevant. Only when one has to define a trajectory of a planet one uses a particular value of this number, which makes all cosmological speculations very imprecise (the date of equinox, which, according to Gregorian mathematics, was to fall forever on March 21 moved to March 18 these days. On this date, day and night are nearly of the same length)
A mantra of the heliocentric astronomy proclaims: “Halley working in Newton’s program, calculated on the basis of observing a brief stretch of a comet’s path that it would return in 72-years’ time; he calculated to the minute when it would be seen again at a well-defined point of the sky. 72 years later, Halley’s comet returned exactly as Halley predicted.” Did it really? Halley predicted the return of his comet in 1758, but, according to Chinese and European records, the comet returned in March of 1759. Then the Halley’s comet returned in 1910, or 3.5 years earlier than predicted.
Indeed, every return of this comet brought significant changes with it, for instance, in 1986, declining from all previous orbits, this comet appeared in the Southern Hemisphere. The confusion of the Soviet scientists is mirrored in an article published in the journal Astronomiya i Astrofizika (1989) whose authors argued that “the motions of Halley’s comet are chaotic” and that “the model of its motions is not determined!” In political terms it meant an earthquake. On Oct. 4, 1957 when the first sputnik was launched from the Soviet Union, the Soviet scientists assured that its speed and trajectory were calculated using Newton’s Laws, the same laws that Halley used to calculate the trajectory of his comet. The nauseating prostitution of Soviet scientists to the immoral aims of their state seems to be overcome.
There is a different kind of thinking behind the Biblical value of π. When one cuts a circumference and straightens it one obtains a finite line segment not a segment of transcendental (infinite) length.
In The Annotated Alice (1970), Martin Gardner suggests that Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are games for grown-up scientists: “It is only because adult – scientists and mathematicians in particular – continue to relish the Alice books that they are assured of immortality.” If modern scientists keep the Alice books alive, they do so because Dodgson’s oscillation between symbolic logic and bizarre fictional games anticipates a central theme of modern science.
The ‘paradox’ of circlesquaring matches Zeno’s paradox of the dichotomy as described by Aristotle: There is no motion because that which is moved must arrive at the middle of its course before it arrives at the end. In other words, in order to traverse a line segment it is necessary to reach its midpoint. To do this one must reach the ¼ point, to do this one must reach 1/8 point and so on ad infinitum. And thus, furtively, Zeno transformed a finite line segment into a transcendental i.e. infinite line. Behind Zeno’s clever trick lies the assumption that if a magnitude can be divided then it can be divided infinitely.
Zeno’s paradoxes were his answer to the Pythagorean dogma proclaiming that extended physical bodies are composed of nonextended mathematical point (cp. the Big Bang dogma in which a point of matter is expanding into infinity, like Lenin's electron) Zeno argued that everything in the universe is both infinitely large and has no size at all. The infinite divisibility of any physical body regardless of size means that it is composed of an infinite number of elements and thus is infinitely large. On the other hand, the body has no size at all because no number of nonextended units can produce an extended body. Influenced by Zeno's speculations Lenin, nearly hundred years ago, said in his book Materialism and Empiriocriticism that “the electron is as inexhaustible as the atom, nature is infinite…”
We have two different opinions on Zeno’s impact in history of mathematics. B.L. van der Waerden argues that the mathematical theories which were developed in the second half of the 5th century suggest that Zeno’s work had little influence. Heath, however, seems to detect a greater influence: Mathematicians, however, … realizing that Zeno’s arguments were fatal to infinitesimals (Newton infinitesimal calculus!), saw that they could avoid the difficulties connected with them by once and for all banishing the idea of the infinite, even the potentially infinite, altogether from their science; thenceforth, therefore, they made no use of magnitudes increasing or decreeing ad infinitum, but connected themselves with finite magnitudes that can be made as great or as small as we please.” Which is exactly what the Biblical authors and the above mentioned mathematician Landau did. In the Confucian geocentric lore π=3, like in the Bible.
It took more than two thousand years in order that the learned world could understand the deeper meaning of the Biblical mathematics. In Lobachevskian hyperbolic space the circumference of a circle is larger than 2 π times the radius. Accordingly, the state of Louisiana in 1897 enacted a law setting the legal value of π at 4. In Riemannian elliptical space the circumference of a circle is always smaller than 2 π times its radius. Accordingly, a Tennessee legislator suggested the value be legally fixed at 3, exactly like in the Hebrew Bible.
To the Pythagoreans it was the pentagonal geometry that was sacred. We may speculate that this was because the whole of this geometry was ruled by Φ, a symbol of perfection, which appears to have been honored with the status of god. Exactly, like Π is, by a multitude of mathematicians. Contrary to Newton's speculations, Jesus did not pray, Our Π who art in Heaven... So, it came as no surprise that Brazil's statue of Jesus made the cut for the seven, new wonders of the world and the sun god Apollo's “magnificent temple” at Stonehenge did not.
In Phaidros Plato and Socrates declare that “He (Toth, the Egyptian baboon-shaped god of wisdom) was who invented numbers and arithmetic and geometry...” Aristotle also argued that the Egyptians had created the caste system and hence “Egypt was the cradle of mathematics because the caste of priests were given great leisure.” According to him, the priests had invented the mathematikai technai (mathematical arts), which included geometry, arithmetic and astronomy, which the Greeks were beginning to possess. These priests spent most of their time squaring circles to find out the value of the number π.
With time, Thoth evolved into a human and under his Greek name Hermes Trismegistus wrote a book entitled Hermetica which, became the inspiration for all subsequent heliocentrists including early Church Fathers and Copernicus. Hermes became an icon in many Roman churches; one of them should be mentioned here. It was painted by Giovanni di Stefano in 1488 for the Cathedral of Siena; its stylized frame is made of swastikas, the solar symbol since time immemorial. Let me remind here that Adolf Hitler who for a period of time resided at Lambach Abbey in Austria, first saw the swastika symbol on the Abbey's exterior decorations.
The early heliomaniac, pharaoh Akhenaten had his children portrayed as apes. In 1838 Charles Darwin wrote: “Origin of man now proved...He who understands baboon would do more toward metaphysics than Locke.” Heliocentrism and evolutionism converge in the baboon-shaped god Thoth.
Ficino translated Orphica, a collection of hymns to various pagan deities, attributed to Orpheus but actually dating from the early centuries AD. He practiced magical self-improvement by singing hymns, accompanying himself on his ‘Orphic lyre’. He believed that by singing the hymn to a particular planetary deity, while concentrating his thoughts and emotions on the planet, he could draw down into himself a flow of the planet’s influence and power..
One of Ficino’s pupils, Francesco da Dia Cetto, explained more clearly how this was done. To attract the influence of the sun, the Orphic hymn to the deity was sung when the sun was ascending in Leo or Aries, on a Sunday and in the hour of the sun. The magician surrounded himself with things corresponding to the sun. He wore a golden mantle and a crown of laurel, strewed sunflowers about him, burned myrrh and frankincense on an altar and anointed himself with saffron, balsam or honey made when the sun was in Leo. The technique induced a sense of superhuman power, which could be applied to curing disease or for any other purpose.
In Egyptian myths a Cow was impregnated by a beam of light from the Sun, and a white bull-calf was born which became the sacred Apis Bull. G. Bruno who dreamed about converting the world to the solar religion of the ancient Egypt was like those Israelites who forced Aaron”to make them Golden Calf” because the gold was believed in Egypt to be flesh of the sun god.
Palestinian history textbook teach: “Moses and his followers wandered in the desert; they were not endowed with any scientific or artistic talents and made no cultural achievements whatsoever…” Because they did not belong to the leisure class they could not have science.
Using the words of the Psalmist, the founding fathers of the modern astronomy and their Palestinian admirers: “Set their mouth against the Heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. And they say how God knows. And is there knowledge in the Eternal God?” (Ps. 73:9-11).
They recognized the God of the Bible as a liar and ignoramus because He taught: “When you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon, and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing them or serving them” (Dt. 4:9)
Behind the scholastic equivalence of light and matter which gives rise to the “world machine” (machina mundi) by plurifying itself was the concept of the philosophers who speculated that all things were composed of atoms and who said that bodies were composed of surfaces, and surfaces of lines, and lines of points, like in Galileo's Book of Nature But since there is no reality to a mathematical point or line, except when they are being conceptualized as such the world of Euclid belongs to the same category as the world of Platonic ideas; though merely mental, they were the ultimate objects, of which the visible and tangible objects of the world were only pale shadows. And that’s exactly what the Indian yogis dismissed contemptuously as the illusory realm of maya. In the Eastern view, searching for some kind of reality, either in the physical world (prakriti) or in the rational mind (manas) is a sheer waste of time, since they are both ultimately unreal - “phantom figures” in Omar Khayyam's heliocentric rubayat. We are such stuff as dreams are made of (Shakespeare)
The Buddhist aims at pure consciousness with no object in sight, which is practically synonymous with sunya (this sunya is the conditio sine qua non for the Newton gravity to work), the void. The Buddha merely stressed the sole reality of nirvana, which the Germans translate as Nullpunkt.The Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are the cornerstones of the Taoist tradition and in them we find the initial identification of Nonbeing (Big Bang’s starting point) with the source of all things.
In other places, the preferred term is wu (in Japanese, mu), commonly translated as “Nonbeing”. Chuang Tzu, in effect, made Nonbeing an equivalent for the absolute Tao, a kind of absolute void. The principles of this nihilistic ontology are mirrored in Hindu mathematics which evolved into a mature place-value system promoting to full membership of a tenth numeral a round symbol for zero (graphic representation of point) or sunya, as the Hindus called it. Confusion about the status of this mysterious numeral persisted for centuries, and as late as the 15th century it was described as “a symbol that merely causes trouble and lack of clarity.”
How, it was asked, could a symbol, which means “nothing”, when placed after another numeral, enhance its value tenfold? The problem finds its solution in the philosophical theory of a “coincidence of opposites”, that is identification of elements that are mutually exclusive in ordinary logic. The goal of introspection is to overcome the intellectual “opposites”; the being arises in the context of non-being; man is a walking corpse, as a Russian proverb says. The Buddhist concept was known as dhrama-dhatus pratitya-samupada, which translates as “the interdependent arising of the universe”: things are said to have “emptiness” and “fullness of emptiness” at the same time.
According to Max Muller "the two words 'cipher' and 'zero,' are in reality but one. Cipher is the Arabic sifr, and means empty, a translation of the Sanskrit name of the nought sunya. The Arabs had their figures from Hindustan, and never claimed the discovery for themselves. In Boethius's Geometry, composed in the sixth century, we find the Pythagorean numerals the 1 and the nought, as the first and final cipher.
Consider James Jeans’ description of the universe of relativity as the four-dimensional surface of a cosmic sphere of which the inside is made of “empty space welded onto empty time.” The Puranas insist on the identity of Vishnu with Time and Space. And Vishnu, like Chuang Tzu's absolute Tao, is a kind of absolute void. The Jewish Pythagoreans or kabbalists recognized numbers as prima materia. Their “Genesis” proclaimed: In the beginning nothing (zero) blew up. Amen!
Accordingly, the modern heliocentrists believe that the world we see and experience in everyday life is simply a convenient mirage attuned to our very limited sense, an illusion conjured by our perceptions and our mind. All that is around us, which appears so substantial, is ultimately nothing but ephemeral networks of particle-waves whirling around at light speed – so called matter is mostly emptiness, void of anything except occasional dots and spots! And scattered electric charges. If all the nuclei of all atoms that make up the whole of mankind were packed together, their global aggregate would be the size of a large grain of rice. But that “grain of rice” devours daily two billion eggs, 1.6 million tons of corn, 727,000 tons of potatoes, 365,000 tons of rice, and the “favoured races” of the world enjoy 2.7 tons of caviar in Moscow’s restaurants! That’s how the heliocentric magic works!
The Bible follows Israel’s 12 memorial stones from the temporarily dry bed of the Jordan (Josh 4:19) to a place called Gilgal and then loses track of them forever. The word ‘gilgal’ means ‘a circle of stone’, (Ibn Ezra in his 12th c. work The Book of the Number calls zero galgal, meaning wheel or circle) and throughout Europe and the Mideast, “circles of large stones have been found dating back a quarter million years or more, to homo erectus times.” The most famous stone circle is Stonehenge. Stonehenge well corresponds to Diodorus’s description of a “magnificent temple of Apollo” which he locates “in the center of Britain.” At that time the British had already their first homo erectus, I don't know, if male or female, or maybe both evolved simultaneously!
Sar (circle) is the Babylonian god of the sky. He is also Assaros or Asshur (the son of Shem), and Zero -- Zero-ana, the chakkra, or wheel, boundless time. The god Aten, or the Egyptian counterpart of the Nordic Odin (Wotan) had originally represented merely the physical sun, but Amenhotep stripped that body of all the gross theological conceptions which had been linked with it ever since the Pyramid Age endowed it with a new esoteric meaning. The ancient symbols of Ra – the pyramid, the falcon, the lion and cat- he replaced by a simple CIRCLE representing the sun’s disk. Since then, as Plato observed, god was always geometrizing writing for Galileo the Book of Nature. (“Philosophy is written in that very large book that is continually opened before our eyes (I mean the universe), but which is not understood unless first one studies the language and knows the characters in which it is written. The language of that book is mathematical and the characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures.” Galileo Galilei: Pensieri, motti e sentenze; Florence, 1949) The Hindu Vishnu holds a disc or a rounded piece of gold in his hand. The Egyptian Ra wears a disc as a crown.
A Babylonian column made of serpent-circles, bears on its top a symbol of the sun. Such a pole is symbolic of the pivotal point around which all things turn, and so is a counterpart of the Buddhist Tree of Enlightenment in the “Immovable Spot” at the center of the world.
The chakra (wheel) represented the sun in early Vedic ceremonies. With the wheeling planets overhead and the circumference of the horizon, the cosmos of the ancients must have seemed obviously circular. Life in the cosmos was created, and maintained, by the balance of opposing forces – male and female, day and night, heat and cold, good and evil, attraction and repulsion (coincidence of opposites ). Such ideas as this concerning the nature of the universe were summarized in the “wheel of life”. To this diagram of cosmic principles, must be added a concept which seems, almost visibly, to set the cosmic circle to revolving like a wheel. This is the idea, present in Sanskrit, Pali, and Greek, that life occurs in an endless cycle of rebirths.
No wonder then that the Hebrews destroyed the circles of stones that stood for this solar theology also known by its Greek term anakuklesis. The phoenix-like character of matter reborn from its “ashes” was “proved” by the Soviet physicist A. Sakharov in his dogma of the “solar phoenix”, or strictly materialistic principle of the “spontaneous resurrection of energy (The Hindu term brahma means energy) such as takes place in the sun's core.”
A certain Honi the circle drawer used to invoke God's power (through drawing circles) to cause it to rain. John Dominique Crossan argues the Honi in drawing his circles was performing magic, not as an Hasid (a Hasid being a charismatic figure who worked wonders and operated outside of the established religion) but as a magician, which got results. E.P. Sanders discussed Honi as the son who importunes the father for blessings as a parallel to Jesus being called the “Son of God” in Matthew 14:33. The reason is because no one ever claimed that Honi attributed to his own power the ability to cause it to rain from making circles, rather it was because God answered his prayers. The passage in Matthew 26:53 claimed the same for Jesus when he said: “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Morton Smith in his book Jesus the magician and other works tried to convince their audience that Jesus was a magician and magic was the modus operandi in Early Christianity.
Josephus had emphasized Honi's being a zaddik, that is a righteous man who prayed and God answered, and how later Honi was stoned to death for refusing to use his power of calling on God to curse others' enemies to help them in war. In Josephus' original account of Honi, he was considered a man of powerful prayer, but not as a miracle worker. This aspect of Honi developed in the later Mishnah and Talmuds which basically shows Honi undergoing a “rabbinization” in order that his actions of drawing circles was in accord with the Torah and the Sanhedrin confirms his action.
Eisenman has further shown how the letter of James in the New Testament climaxes in the imagery of rain, comparing the coming of the Lord with the judgment with the coming of the rain (James 5:4-8). Eisenman, notes that Epiphanius told that James when he prayed to God with uplifted hands to heaven, heaven at once sent rain. James did this as the High Prriest “wearing the mitre of the High Priest.”
Some scholars have identified Honi with the leader of the Qumran community. Craig A. Evans also discusses Honi's obdurate determination for an answer to his prayer as paralleling the parables that Jesus taught of the importunate widow (Lk 18:1-8), and the persistent friend (Lk 11:5-8)
Math has drawn its strength from “imaginary” or, more properly speaking, absolutely inconceivable magnitudes known as irrational numbers. Among them there is a large number of the most important quantities that constantly occur in all calculations, e.g. the square roots of most numbers, the relation of the diagonals to the side of a square, of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. There is an acute remark of Goethe’s: “He who devotes himself to nature attempts to find the squaring of the circle.” Like the above mentioned Egyptian priests. In fact, it is the religious ritual imposed on all mathematician again by the sacred books of the Hindu religion. This problem is better understandable if one keeps in mind that Greek mathematicians did not need to name their numbers since they worked with numbers as lengths of lines.
In the Rig-Vedas, every male head of a family was obliged to perform, every day, certain acts of worship known as purvas. For this purpose he had to set up in his house three kinds of fire, protecting his house and the fires by placing them in altars of special design. The fires were known as Dakshina, Garhapatya and Ahavaneeya. The altars, intended to shield the fires, had to be built to design plans, which related them to each other in shape and area. For example, the problem might be to construct square altar equal in area to a given circular altar. This insoluble problem was “solved” by regarding the latter as a polygon with an “infinite” number of sides, all therefore infinitely small.
De Morgan in his book Budget of Paradoxes (1872) suggested the term ‘morbus cyclometricus’ as being the ‘circle squaring disease.’ De Morgan tried to persuade these circlesquarers that their methods were incorrect.
“It is almost unbelievable that a definition of π was used, at least as an excuse, for a racial attack on the eminent mathematician Edmund Landau in 1934. Landau had defined π in his textbook published in Gőttingen in that year by the, now fairly usual, method of saying that π/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes. This unleashed an academic dispute, which was to end in Landau’s dismissal from his chair at Gőttingen. Bierbach, an eminent number theorist who disgraced himself by his racist views, explains the reasons for Landau’s dismissal: - Thus the valiant rejection by the Gőttingen student body which a great mathematician, Edmund Landau, has experienced is due in the final analysis to the fact that the un-German style of this man in his research and teaching is unbearable to German feelings. A people who have perceived how members of another race are working to impose ideas foreign to its own must refuse teachers of an alien culture.” (A history of Pi, http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uc/~history/HistTopics/Pi_through_the_ages.html)
In Plato’s Timaeus we read that the sphere is the most perfect and most uniform shape, because all points on its surface are equidistant from the center. Parmenides, repeated the image: “Being is like the mass of a well-rounded sphere, whose force is constant from the center in any direction.” This idea inspired the expanding universe of Big Bang.
The Sicilian Empedocles of Agrigento devised a laborious cosmogony; there is one stage in which the particles of earth, air, fire, and water form an endless sphere, “the round Sphairos, which rejoices in its circular solitude.”
The French theologian Alain de Lille – Alanus de Insulis – discovered at the end of the 12th c., this formula which the ages to come would not forget: “God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”
A Christian sermon that has survived from the mid-fifth century called On The Trinity quotes in profusion the words of the Pagan gods. The doctrine of the trinity probably derives from sacred geometry: “the transcendental number” π is hidden within the circle, a symbol of the All and so of God.” The un-German style of Edmund Landau was that his value of π had nothing to do with the revelation of pagan gods but was rather inspired by the Biblical value of this number which is 3. (1 Kings 7: 23 and II Chronicles 4:2 )
According to modern mathematician it is “not a very accurate value and not even very accurate in its day, for the Egyptian and Mesopotamian values of 25/8 = 3.125 and √10=3.162 have been traced to much earlier dates. Well, if you want to make a circle you simply choose the length of radius not a particular value of π, which is irrelevant.

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.

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”).

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.

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.

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..
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”).

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..
