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

Philosophical Category of Heliocentrism
T. Campanella in his Apologia pro Galileo (Frankfurt 1623) argues, According to the testimony of Laertius, Plutarch, Aristotle, and Galen, Pythagoras first announced to the Gentiles his marvelous doctrine of the motion of the earth, of the sun in the center, and of systems in heaven. He informs them that the moon is another earth, and that the four elements, not to mention water, exist in the stars (John Paul II knew what he was doing when he “rehabilitated” Galileo who, like Muhammad, believed in “7 hanging paradises” and 72 virgins awaiting him)*. Copernicus began to develop his system from the preceding contributions of the Pythagoreans, motivated by the observations of Francesco Maria. The disciple of Pythagoras, Timaeus Locrus, demonstrated by mathematics the diurnal rotation of the earth, and Philolaus of Crotona – the annual revolution of the earth (also by mathematics!) Copernicus then added the motion of libration from the pattern of the motion devised by Thebit of Babylon and King Alphonso of Spain. That such a motion was necessary St. Thomas Aquinas also suggested in Metaphysics from statements of Simplicius.
Five of the most important philosophers of the Renaissance – Cardano, Telesio, Patrizi, Bruno, and Campanella – were panpsychists. All of them were admirers of classical heliocentrism. They had to be, because heliocentricm in terms of philosophy is panpsychism.
The Renaissance panpsychists were nothing but a new generation of Stoics who insisted that all material objects are “bodies”, and they are in fact “compounds of 'matter' and 'mind' (god or logos). Mind is not something other than body but a necessary constituent of it, “'reason' in matter.”
A short passage from Pliny's Natural History will allow to better grasp the essence of panpsychist world view:
“Upheld by the same vapour between earth and heaven, at definite spaces apart, hang the seven stars which owing to their motion we call 'planets,' although no stars wander less than they do. In the midst of these moves the sun, whose magnitude and power are the greatest, and who is the ruler not only of the seasons and of the lands, but even of the stars themselves and of the heaven. Taking into account all that he effects, we must believe him to be the soul, or more precisely the mind, of the whole world, the supreme ruling principle and divinity of nature. He furnishes the world with light and removes darkness, he obscures and he illumines the rest of the stars, he regulates in accord with nature's precedent the changes of the seasons and the continuous re-birth of the year, he dissipates the gloom of heaven and even calms the storm-clouds of the mind of man, he lends his light to the rest of the stars also; he is glorious and pre-eminent, all-seeing and even all-hearing – this, I observe, that Homer the prince of literature held to be true in the case of the sun alone.”(2-1)
One long-winded Soviet astronomer spoke on a theory that all the great scientific accomplishments – of Newton, Darwin, Einstein, and so forth – were conceived during periods when sunspots were most active. I think that when the sun spots are most active you one can get easily sunstroke instead of a world shattering idea…
Giambattista della Porta, the celebrated Italian alchemist and the first member of the Academy of the Lynxes, modern Europe’s first scientific society founded in Rome in 1603 published in 1569 his book Magia Naturalis in which he tried to show to the world the groundlessness of their accusations of magic being a superstition and sorcery. In the book he based all of the occult phenomena possible to man upon the world-soul which binds all with all, exactly like Newton’s gravity. The latests biographer of Newton titled his book Newton. The Last Sorcerer.
Newton in his Principia based all his speculations upon the "soul of the world," the great universal, magnetic agent, which he called the divine sensorium: "Here the question is of a very subtile spirit which penetrates through all, even the hardest bodies, and which is concealed in their substance. Through the strength and activity of this spirit, bodies attract each other, and adhere together when brought into contact. Through it, electrical bodies operate at the remotest distance, as well as near at hand, attracting and repelling; through this spirit the light also flows, and is refracted and reflected, and warms bodies. All senses are excited by this spirit, and through it the animals move their limbs. But these things cannot be explained in few words, and we have not yet sufficient experience to determine fully the laws by which this universal spirit operates." In the final analysis all motion in the universe is dependent on the activity of a World Soul.
The Fire Baptism
Let me quote here a prayer to the World-Soul, the Famous Gayatri of the Rig Veda, “the holiest verse in the Vedas.” It runs as follows: “Let us adore the Supremacy of that Divine Sun, the Godhead, Who illuminates all, Who recreates all, from Whom all proceed, to Whom all must return, Whom we invoke to direct our Understanding aright in our Progress toward His Holy Seat.” (Sir W. Jone's Works, XIII. 367. “His Holy Seat” suggests the thought that the state where He does not move is fixed.) Let me mention here that the term see denoting a district under a bishop's authority, for instance Holy See, is derived from Old French sie, or sied which, in turn, is derived from Latin sedes, abode (sedere, to sit). According to Webster's Universal Dictionary of 1936 see also denotes the seat of regal authority; a throne.. Copernicus's sun god who rules his family of stars is seated on a royal throne.
The ancient sun-worshippers regarded the Great Spirit as a nature-god, identical with nature, and the sun as the deity, "in whom the Lord of life dwells." Gama is the sun, according to the Hindu theology, and "The sun is the source of the souls and of all life." Agni, the "Divine Fire," the deity of the Hindu, is the sun, for the fire and sun are the same. Ormazd is light, the Sun-God, or the Life-giver. In the Hindu philosophy, "The souls issue from the soul of the world, and return to it as sparks to the fire." None of the ancients, the sun-worshippers included, regarded our visible sun otherwise than as an emblem of their metaphysical invisible central sun-god. Moreover, they did not believe what our modern science teaches us, namely, that light and heat proceed from our sun, and that it is this planet which imparts all life to our visible nature. "His radiance is undecaying," says the Rig-Veda, "the intensely-shining, all-pervading, unceasing, undecaying rays of Agni desist not, neither night nor day." This evidently related to the spiritual, central sun, whose rays are all-pervading and unceasing, the eternal and boundless life-giver. HE the Point (of Bing Bang); the centre (which is everywhere) of the circle (which is nowhere), the ethereal, spiritual fire, the soul and spirit of the all-pervading, mysterious ether.
Composed of fire and air, the Stoic pneuma was put forth as the creative life energy of the universe. This was most evident in human bodies, in which both warmth (fire) and breath (air) were seen as the essential defining characteristics of life and soul. Pneuma was the active principle made tangible, and as such it accounted for all form that was seen in worldly objects. Pneuma was the “creative fire” of the cosmos, a pyr technikon. It had the status of divinity, and was equated with both god and cosmic reason.
It is the same pantheism which inspired the words of John the Baptist: “I baptize with water, but one who is much greater than I is coming…He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” According to the New Roman catechism “fire” symbolizes the transforming energy of the Holy Spirit, the same fire which Paul urged the Thessalonians not to extinguish (Cp. The undying fire of the Vestal Virgins) – for it is none other than the Holy Spirit Himself (# 696)
Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them” - Acts 2:3.
Plato represented the planets as moved by an intrinsic Rector, one with his dwelling, like “a boatman in his boat.” Aristotle called those rulers “immaterial substances;” though he rejected the gods as Entities. But this did not prevent him from recognizing the fact that the stars and planets “were not inanimate masses but acting and living bodies indeed…” As if “sidereal spirits were the divine portion of their phenomena, (ta theoitera pon phaneron)” (De Caelo. I. 9). Kepler “baptized” Plato's Rector and called him angelus rector conducting each planet. In his third letter to Bentley Newton mentioned “agent, material or immaterial” as the cause of gravity and later identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
Well, possibly Newton with Pliny also believed that Spanish mares could conceive by turning their hindquarters to the wind (Natural History IV.35 and VIII.67). That's what panpsychism is all about. In the erotic cult of the Mare-goddess children were believed to enter into women's womb as sudden gusts of wind.
We have similar synthesis of pagan ideas with Christian doctrine in the young K. Wojtyla's Renaissance Psalter. The leading poem of this collection entitled Magnificat unites through imagery the pagan, the medieval, the Renaissance panpsychism and the modern. The ancient worship of the oak tree, becomes transformed into Christian belief without leaving behind the pagan symbolism; rather, it incorporates it. God is present in the ancient soil, in the rocks of the Tatra (like he is believed to be present in the Kaaba), and in the oaks.
In Laws Plato also embraced a soul or souls as the cause of various phenomena:
“Now consider all the stars and the moon and the years and the months and all the seasons: what can we do except repeat the same story? A soul or souls ... have been shown to be the cause of all these phenomena, and whether it is by their living presence in matter ... or by some other means, we shall insist that these souls are gods. Can anybody admit all this and still put up with people who deny that 'everything is full of gods'?” Like those rocks of Tatra and oaks full of gods...
Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” (which corresponds to Aristotle's “immaterial substances”) which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Now his angelus rector became Plato's “a boatman in his boat”
Kepler said that he understood perfectly how the Pythagoreans could believe that all the globes disseminated through Space were rational Intelligences¸facultates ratiocinativae, circulating around the Sun. He wrote about anima telluris i.e. soul of the Earth. Copernicus wrote about divines mundi revolutionibus (I, 9). The publisher removed from the printed edition of The revolutions the expression divina corpora and replace it with corpora coelestia. Like Copernicus, also Kepler believed that the stars were born of the semen of the sun god (disseminated is derived from Latin semen, seed). Remember the Hindu sungod in the shape of linga (phallus)? In Hindu myth when the Desire (Kama) arose in it, “the creation” or rather emanation or emission of semen followed.
Heliocentrism and Holocausts of Jews
Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.”
This enmity against Christianity rooted in the Hebrew Bible on the part of many cultured pagans was not a purely intellectual matter, but was deeply rooted in class prejudice. The “cultured and sophisticated” could not conceive the possibility that the Christian rabble could know a truth hidden to them. Their main objection was that Christianity was a religion of barbarians who derived their teaching, not from Greeks of Romans, but from Jews, a primitive people whose best teacher never rose to the level of Greek philosophers. If anything good is to be found in Jewish Scripture – they said – that is because the Jews copied it from the Greeks. So, the Biblical geocentrism which could not be proved to be copied from the Greeks or any other pagan belief was recognized as an invention of an uneducated, barbaric people. Rome was always heliocentric: “Sun…the leader, the prince and the steerman of the other stars, the soul and the ordering principle of the world, so large that it enlightens and fills up the whole universe…the orbits of Mercury and Venus follow him as his satellites.” This declaration of Cicero attests that the old Pythagorean heliocentrism was ever present in the minds of the enlightened circles of ancient Greece and Rome. Cicero proclaimed that the Jews who believed in the Biblical geocentrism were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti).
Dio Cassius in his History reported: “Fifty of the strongest fortified places, and 985 of the best towns and villages were ruined. Very few Jews remained alive. 580,000 lost their lives on the battlefield or by the sudden attacks by the Romans, in addition to those without number who perished of starvation and pestilence or who were burned alive. The entire land of Judea was changed into a desolate wilderness” (69:14)
The early Christian chroniclers wrote: “The populace in many other cities were slaughtered or sold into slavery. The multitude for sale as slaves was so great that their price was extremely low, yet there were no enough buyers. At Hebron a great slave market was held; subsequently, the huge remaining number was taken to the slave-market at Gaza, which now because of this became known as Hadrian's Market. Those who could not be sold were shipped to Egypt. In Egypt they fell into the hands of their bitter enemies the Greeks; and instead of being purchased as slaves, many were slain.”
Not long after Hadrian abolished the name of Judea with its potentially subversive overtones, and called the province Syria Palestina instead, he founded in Rome the school of philosophy, oratory and literature which he called Athenaeum, and which conducted the true psychological war against the Jews and their Holy Scriptures. You will grasp better the perennial policy of Rome vis-a-vis Israel when you recall that the goddess Athena was usually portrayed with her dress adorned with swastikas. She was the most beloved goddess of Adolf Hitler.
La Sapienza founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, as a Studium for ecclesiastical continued the tradition of Hadrian's Athenaeum. The statue of Minerva or the Roman counterpart of the Greek of Athena stands in front of the Sapienza.
Gen. John Bagot Glubb, the supreme commander of the Arab Legion in Israel's War of Independence in 1948 regarded the creation of Israel as a crime. Glubb, like most of the British elites, was an unabashed anti-Semite, who firmly believed that the “unlikable character” of the Jews had provoked their persecution throughout history; that most Russian and East European Jews were really Khazar Turks with no connection to the promised land.
You may recall that Darwin in his book castigated the Turkish people as belonging to an inferior race. So when Gen. Glubb put the Jews in the same racial category as Khazar Turks he continued A. Hitler's racial crusade against the Jewish people. So, you see, Pope John Paul II knew very well what he was doing when he was rehabilitating evolutionism and heliocentrism, the “sciences” that were taught in Hadrian's Athenaeum. Once a miniature Palestinian state is created the “civilized world” won't stop there. Only when the last Jew is exterminated its mission civilisatrice will be regarded as fulfilled. Copernicus and Darwin blinded the world to dangers the secularists may encounter while executing this new Holocaust. Exactly, like they blinded A. Hitler.
Hundreds of gravestones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey; hundreds of gravestones were knocked over, some broken from hitting each other. It looked like it was hit by a bomb. The Jews are the one and only people who are not allowed to rest in peace. When moral foundations are shaken, we unleash our instincts. But released instincts belong to the animal world.
If we forget God our country is doomed.
In paper after paper, Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit paleontologist worked out his ideas, mourning his Church’s unwillingness to incorporate what Science had discovered into its understanding of the world, criticizing the “geocentricity” to which she clung psychologically for four hundred years after she had ceased to support it astronomically, and rebuking those religious thinkers who recognized nothing new under the sun since “instantaneous creation”. De Chardin wrote: “Christianity’s only chance to grow lay in her being born again among the Gentiles because only the Gentiles had retained their pagan taste for the earth.” “Christianity must break out of the closed world of Israel into the pagan world”. De Chardin posited above Suess’s biosphere the existence of an even more significant covering of the earth – its “thinking skin”, the “noosphere”. The earth once again became a goddess. De Chardin’s “apostle” in Poland the young K. Wojtyla wrote a poem entitled Material about the “thinking skin”.
Several of the most illustrious thinkers of the postwar period have called for Western religion to forsake the solitary and overpowering, personal deity of the Bible, not for science or rationalism but for naturalistic polytheism of ancient Greece. Sun and Earth are equally encompassed in this metavision.
After a decade of technical articles and studies that began in the 1960s with his work for NASA, Lovelock introduced his Gaia theory to the general public in Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth published in 1979 by the Oxford University Press. Igniting a scientific, environmental, and spiritual movement that has burgeoned through scores of seminars, symposia, and songfest at home and abroad, the Britisher’s opinions on Gaia have since been roundly in demand.
The idea of the living Earth today exercises a profound intellectual enchantment. The notion of our planet as an infinitely integrated super organism has compelled world leaders from Mikhail Gorbachev to Pope John Paul II, R. Reagan to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar to Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Bruntland to write on the theme of global interdependence in the Gaia Peace Atlas, published simultaneously by Gaia Books (London) and Doubleday (New York) 1988, which concludes by thanking Lovelock “for his continuing inspiration.”
Metropolitan Kyrill attacks John Paul II's Scientific Legacy
In an interview for the German Spiegel Online published January 10, 2008 entitled The Bible Calls it a Sin Metropolitan Kyrill, foreign minister of the Russian Orthodox Church asked how he would approach Darwin's theories if he were a teacher, answered: “I would say that the theory has many adherents, but also a few unanswered questions. For instance, no one has provided precise proof of the transition from one species to another. It would be wrong to treat Darwin's theory as the only correct one. It is the leading theory today, but it could be replaced by another theory tomorrow. There was also a time when Marxism considered itself the only correct and scientifically justified theory...”
In a veiled allusion to the Declaration of the Senate of the Warsaw University Metropolitan Kyrill said: “What I am saying is something that the liberal SPIEGEL will never print: You undoubtedly think that this Metropolitan Kyrill is out of his mind and that what he is saying is complete nonsense.”
We also learned from the interview that Vladimir Putin says that he often reads the Bible on his presidential plane during long trips and that in an essay, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has invoked the New Testament to criticize a unipolar world dominated by the United States.
On the Eve of Pres. Bush's Visit to Israel
MOSCOW, January 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Navy carrier Su-33 aircraft and combat helicopters have launched a training over the Mediterranean, an aide to the Russian Navy commander said on Tuesday. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdukov said previously that a total of four warships and seven other vessels of Russia's Northern, Black Sea and Baltic Fleets, as well as 47 airplanes and 10 helicopters, would take part in the 12,000-mile expedition.
MOSCOW, December 14 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian foreign minister accused Britain on Friday of violating international law in the latest row over the British Council in Russia.

The undying fire of the Vestal Virgins) – for it is none other than the Holy Spirit Himself (# 696)
Patriarch Nikon in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them” - Acts 2:3.
Plato represented the planets as moved by an intrinsic Rector, one with his dwelling, like “a boatman in his boat.” Aristotle called those rulers “immaterial substances;” though he rejected the gods as Entities. But this did not prevent him from recognizing the fact that the stars and planets “were not inanimate masses but acting and living bodies indeed…” As if “sidereal spirits were the divine portion of their phenomena, (ta theoitera pon phaneron)” (De Caelo. I. 9). Kepler “baptized” Plato's Rector and called him angelus rector conducting each planet. In his third letter to Bentley Newton mentioned “agent, material or immaterial” as the cause of gravity and later identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
Well, possibly Newton with Pliny also believed that Spanish mares could conceive by turning their hindquarters to the wind (Natural History IV.35 and VIII.67). That's what panpsychism is all about. In the erotic cult of the Mare-goddess children were believed to enter into women's womb as sudden gusts of wind.
We have similar synthesis of pagan ideas with Christian doctrine in the young K. Wojtyla's Renaissance Psalter. The leading poem of this collection entitled Magnificat unites through imagery the pagan, the medieval, the Renaissance panpsychism and the modern. The ancient worship of the oak tree, becomes transformed into Christian belief without leaving behind the pagan symbolism; rather, it incorporates it. God is present in the ancient soil, in the rocks of the Tatra (like he is believed to be present in the Kaaba), and in the oaks.
In Laws Plato also embraced a soul or souls as the cause of various phenomena:
“Now consider all the stars and the moon and the years and the months and all the seasons: what can we do except repeat the same story? A soul or souls ... have been shown to be the cause of all these phenomena, and whether it is by their living presence in matter ... or by some other means, we shall insist that these souls are gods. Can anybody admit all this and still put up with people who deny that 'everything is full of gods'?” Like those rocks of Tatra and oaks full of gods...
Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” (which corresponds to Aristotle's “immaterial substances”) which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Now his angelus rector became Plato's “a boatman in his boat”
Kepler said that he understood perfectly how the Pythagoreans could believe that all the globes disseminated through Space were rational Intelligences¸facultates ratiocinativae, circulating around the Sun. He wrote about anima telluris i.e. soul of the Earth. Copernicus wrote about divines mundi revolutionibus (I, 9). The publisher removed from the printed edition of The revolutions the expression divina corpora and replace it with corpora coelestia. Like Copernicus, also Kepler believed that the stars were born of the semen of the sun god (disseminated is derived from Latin semen, seed). Remember the Hindu sungod in the shape of linga (phallus)? In Hindu myth when the Desire (Kama) arose in it, “the creation” or rather emanation or emission of semen followed.
Heliocentrism and Holocausts of Jews
Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.”
This enmity against Christianity rooted in the Hebrew Bible on the part of many cultured pagans was not a purely intellectual matter, but was deeply rooted in class prejudice. The “cultured and sophisticated” could not conceive the possibility that the Christian rabble could know a truth hidden to them. Their main objection was that Christianity was a religion of barbarians who derived their teaching, not from Greeks of Romans, but from Jews, a primitive people whose best teacher never rose to the level of Greek philosophers. If anything good is to be found in Jewish Scripture – they said – that is because the Jews copied it from the Greeks. So, the Biblical geocentrism which could not be proved to be copied from the Greeks or any other pagan belief was recognized as an invention of an uneducated, barbaric people. Rome was always heliocentric: “Sun…the leader, the prince and the steerman of the other stars, the soul and the ordering principle of the world, so large that it enlightens and fills up the whole universe…the orbits of Mercury and Venus follow him as his satellites.” This declaration of Cicero attests that the old Pythagorean heliocentrism was ever present in the minds of the enlightened circles of ancient Greece and Rome. Cicero proclaimed that the Jews who believed in the Biblical geocentrism were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti).
Dio Cassius in his History reported: “Fifty of the strongest fortified places, and 985 of the best towns and villages were ruined. Very few Jews remained alive. 580,000 lost their lives on the battlefield or by the sudden attacks by the Romans, in addition to those without number who perished of starvation and pestilence or who were burned alive. The entire land of Judea was changed into a desolate wilderness” (69:14)
The early Christian chroniclers wrote: “The populace in many other cities were slaughtered or sold into slavery. The multitude for sale as slaves was so great that their price was extremely low, yet there were no enough buyers. At Hebron a great slave market was held; subsequently, the huge remaining number was taken to the slave-market at Gaza, which now because of this became known as Hadrian's Market. Those who could not be sold were shipped to Egypt. In Egypt they fell into the hands of their bitter enemies the Greeks; and instead of being purchased as slaves, many were slain.”
Not long after Hadrian abolished the name of Judea with its potentially subversive overtones, and called the province Syria Palestina instead, he founded in Rome the school of philosophy, oratory and literature which he called Athenaeum, and which conducted the true psychological war against the Jews and their Holy Scriptures. You will grasp better the perennial policy of Rome vis-a-vis Israel when you recall that the goddess Athena was usually portrayed with her dress adorned with swastikas. She was the most beloved goddess of Adolf Hitler.
La Sapienza founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, as a Studium for ecclesiastical continued the tradition of Hadrian's Athenaeum. The statue of Minerva or the Roman counterpart of the Greek of Athena stands in front of the Sapienza.
Gen. John Bagot Glubb, the supreme commander of the Arab Legion in Israel's War of Independence in 1948 regarded the creation of Israel as a crime. Glubb, like most of the British elites, was an unabashed anti-Semite, who firmly believed that the “unlikable character” of the Jews had provoked their persecution throughout history; that most Russian and East European Jews were really Khazar Turks with no connection to the promised land.
You may recall that Darwin in his book castigated the Turkish people as belonging to an inferior race. So when Gen. Glubb put the Jews in the same racial category as Khazar Turks he continued A. Hitler's racial crusade against the Jewish people. So, you see, Pope John Paul II knew very well what he was doing when he was rehabilitating evolutionism and heliocentrism, the “sciences” that were taught in Hadrian's Athenaeum. Once a miniature Palestinian state is created the “civilized world” won't stop there. Only when the last Jew is exterminated its mission civilisatrice will be regarded as fulfilled. Copernicus and Darwin blinded the world to dangers the secularists may encounter while executing this new Holocaust. Exactly, like they blinded A. Hitler.
Hundreds of gravestones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey; hundreds of gravestones were knocked over, some broken from hitting each other. It looked like it was hit by a bomb. The Jews are the one and only people who are not allowed to rest in peace. When moral foundations are shaken, we unleash our instincts. But released instincts belong to the animal world.
If we forget God our country is doomed.
In paper after paper, Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit paleontologist worked out his ideas, mourning his Church’s unwillingness to incorporate what Science had discovered into its understanding of the world, criticizing the “geocentricity” to which she clung psychologically for four hundred years after she had ceased to support it astronomically, and rebuking those religious thinkers who recognized nothing new under the sun since “instantaneous creation”. De Chardin wrote: “Christianity’s only chance to grow lay in her being born again among the Gentiles because only the Gentiles had retained their pagan taste for the earth.” “Christianity must break out of the closed world of Israel into the pagan world”. De Chardin posited above Suess’s biosphere the existence of an even more significant covering of the earth – its “thinking skin”, the “noosphere”. The earth once again became a goddess. De Chardin’s “apostle” in Poland the young K. Wojtyla wrote a poem entitled Material about the “thinking skin”.
Several of the most illustrious thinkers of the postwar period have called for Western religion to forsake the solitary and overpowering, personal deity of the Bible, not for science or rationalism but for naturalistic polytheism of ancient Greece. Sun and Earth are equally encompassed in this metavision.
After a decade of technical articles and studies that began in the 1960s with his work for NASA, Lovelock introduced his Gaia theory to the general public in Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth published in 1979 by the Oxford University Press. Igniting a scientific, environmental, and spiritual movement that has burgeoned through scores of seminars, symposia, and songfest at home and abroad, the Britisher’s opinions on Gaia have since been roundly in demand.
The idea of the living Earth today exercises a profound intellectual enchantment. The notion of our planet as an infinitely integrated super organism has compelled world leaders from Mikhail Gorbachev to Pope John Paul II, R. Reagan to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar to Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Bruntland to write on the theme of global interdependence in the Gaia Peace Atlas, published simultaneously by Gaia Books (London) and Doubleday (New York) 1988, which concludes by thanking Lovelock “for his continuing inspiration.”
Metropolitan Kyrill attacks John Paul II's Scientific Legacy
In an interview for the German Spiegel Online published January 10, 2008 entitled The Bible Calls it a Sin Metropolitan Kyrill, foreign minister of the Russian Orthodox Church asked how he would approach Darwin's theories if he were a teacher, answered: “I would say that the theory has many adherents, but also a few unanswered questions. For instance, no one has provided precise proof of the transition from one species to another. It would be wrong to treat Darwin's theory as the only correct one. It is the leading theory today, but it could be replaced by another theory tomorrow. There was also a time when Marxism considered itself the only correct and scientifically justified theory...”
In a veiled allusion to the Declaration of the Senate of the Warsaw University Metropolitan Kyrill said: “What I am saying is something that the liberal SPIEGEL will never print: You undoubtedly think that this Metropolitan Kyrill is out of his mind and that what he is saying is complete nonsense.”
We also learned from the interview that Vladimir Putin says that he often reads the Bible on his presidential plane during long trips and that in an essay, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has invoked the New Testament to criticize a unipolar world dominated by the United States.
On the Eve of Pres. Bush's Visit to Israel
MOSCOW, January 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Navy carrier Su-33 aircraft and combat helicopters have launched a training over the Mediterranean, an aide to the Russian Navy commander said on Tuesday. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdukov said previously that a total of four warships and seven other vessels of Russia's Northern, Black Sea and Baltic Fleets, as well as 47 airplanes and 10 helicopters, would take part in the 12,000-mile expedition.
MOSCOW, December 14 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian foreign minister accused Britain on Friday of violating international law in the latest row over the British Council in Russia.

St. Thomas Aquinas, an Atheist Undercover
Christianity as a religious structure rests upon two fundamentally different and directly hostile “views of existence”: upon Jewish historical faith and upon Indo-European symbolical and metaphysical mythology. The kernel of the Christian religion is the conception of “redemption of man”: this idea has always been and still is strange to the Jews; it absolutely contradicts their whole conception of religion. On the other hand, it is the central idea in all Indo-European religious views; they all revolve around the longing for redemption; the hope of salvation; nor was this idea of redemption strange to the Hellenes; we find it in their mysteries, and in Plato, in the 7th book of the “Republic”, it is clearly recognizable. The idea of redemption embraces two others; that of a present imperfection and that of a possible perfection by some non-empirical, that is, in a certain sense supernatural or transcendental process: the one is symbolized by the myth of degeneration (See, O.Spengler, “The Decline of the West”), the other by that of gracious help bestowed by a higher Being. Paul goes to the root of the matter by calling sin itself a “law” – a law of the flesh, or, as we should say to-day, en empirical law of nature – and by showing in a famous passage (Rom 8), that the Church law has not the least power over sin, which is a fact of nature, over which grace alone can prevail: “And if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more of grace: otherwise work is no more work.” (Tit 3:5). The singer of the Veda already “searches eagerly for his sin” and finds it not in his will but in his condition, which even in his dreams holds evil up before his eyes, and finally he turns to his “God of Grace” who enlightens the simple. The Carirarka-Mimansa considers all living beings as “in need of redemption.” (H. S. Chamberlain The Myth of the 19th Century)
From Krishnamurti to Gandhi
It took a Hindu to teach Christianity its own political strategy. Mahatma Gandhi not only is called the Father of the nation of India, but he is the modern inspiration for the rediscovery of the teaching of Jesus on simplicity, fasting, and non-violence. He loved Jesus, but saw little reflection of him in institutionalized Christianity.

Gandhi’s racism. The truth behind the mask. Behold Sergeant Major Gandhi who supported the British in the Boer war, against the Zulu rebellion. Behold the prophet of peace who worked to stratify, by introducing the caste system, the South African society.
Which war did Mohandas Gandhi support? All of them. There wasn’t a war that the "prophet" of Non-Violence did not support. He was Sergeant Major in the British Army & won a medal for his combat service

GANDHI BRANDED RACISTAS JOHANNESBURG HONOURS FREEDOM FIGHTER (By Rory Carroll)
It was supposed to honour his resistance to racism in South Africa, but a new statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Johannesburg has triggered a row over his alleged contempt for black people. The 2.5 metre high (8ft) bronze statue depicting Gandhi as a dashing young human rights lawyer has been welcomed by Nelson Mandela*, among others, for recognising the Indian who launched the fight against white minority rule at the turn of the last century.
But critics have attacked the gesture for overlooking racist statements attributed to Gandhi, which suggest he viewed black people as lazy savages who were barely human.
*Incidentally, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela and Kofi Anan became now one team fighting the “Israeli apartheid.”
Haruki Murakami, Japan's top writer scheduled to accept the prestigious Jersalem Prize did not answer an open letter, titled “Don't legitimize apartheid” from the Palestine Forum Japan which urged him to cancel his plans to accept the prize in Jerusalem.

St. Augustine: “Whatever has been rightly said by the heathen, we must appropriate to our uses.”
The “germination” of the spiritual body from the physical
Like corn decays the mortal, like corn is he born again (Kata Upanishad, 1,8)
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die…All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another…So also is the resurrection of the dead…It is sown a natural body; but it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (1 Cor. 15:36-44)
In the ancient Egyptian story of Osiris the generative process is personified by the god Osiris, whose death and resurrection form the central theme of the myth. Osiris was associated with flowing water, the life force in plants, the reproductive power in animals, and more generally with the vital activity that maintains and propagates the order of life, all metaphors that collectively imply the notion of order-creating activity. Coffin Text 330 relates Osiris with both process and “the Order,” Mayet, the natural order of the world:
Whether I live or die I am Osiris,
I enter in and reappear through you,.
I decay in you, I grow in you,
I fall down in you, I fall upon my side.
The gods are living in me for I live and grow in the corn
that sustains the Honored Ones.
I cover the earth,
whether I live or die I am Barley,
I am not destroyed.
I have entered the Order,
I relay upon the Order,
I became Master of the Order
I emerge in the Order.
Osiris was preserved from decay by being wrapped in the coils of primordial serpent Nehaher. For most of the duration of the Old Kingdom, the passion of Osiris was concerned with the salvation of human souls, but with the resurrection of divine souls, those of the pharaonic kings. The resurrection ceremony was performed not out of a personal fear of death on the part of ruling class but rather to ensure the continued prosperity of the empire and to celebrate the miracle of creation of the cosmic order. Beginning around 2500 BCE, however, the Osirian ceremonies took on a more personal significance for the masses. A cult of Osiris developed and gained in popularity.
Aryan Evolution: From the Plant up to Brahma
"The first germ of life was developed by water and heat" (Manu, book i., sloka 8).
"Water ascends toward the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rain are born the plants, and from the plants, animals" (book iii., sloka 76).
"Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (book i., sloka 20).
"Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree" (Ibid.).
"These are the transformations declared, from the plant up to Brahma, which have to take place in his world" (Ibid.). (Cp. The Aryan Jesus says in Jn. 10:30: “My Father and I are one.” In the Greek, the word “one” is neuter, which means not one person but one substance,).
For example, when the desire of necessity to see arises in the jiva, the eye is manifest. Brahma is said to be the first soul and the repository of all the other jivas, who under his direction evolve upwards through aquatic life, to plant life, etc....Dasavatara Stotram (Ten Incarnations of Vishnu) in terms of evolution almost parallels the Puranic notion of life's evolution from aquatic life upwards Matsya (fish), Kurma (amphibian), Narasinga (both animal and man) etc.
Speculations about invisible dimensions leave room for rationally legitimizing the ontological reality of persons like Brahma and his lotus birth, who are otherwise thought of as merely mythological. Perhaps his chanting of the Gopala mantra can itself be construed as the big bang. After all, those in the scientific community who have embraced the superstring theory describe the world poetically as a musical vibrations, a song in the mind of God*. Bhagavat-gita asserts that life is everywhere (sarva-gatah) and Vedic literature speaks of demigods and other beings enjoying life on other planets including the moon and Mars. Is there a Vedic explanation as to why science can find no evidence of life on the moon and Mars?
*With drum and dance, Shiva represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation*, and dancing is one of the many aspects of Shiva's essence. Dance produced rhythm and that rhythm, Newton thought, must have been observed in his 'scientific” law of gravitation. Similarly, the formulation “cube roots of squares” used in Opticks was known from Kepler's Third Law, deduced again in Principia, to show the average distance of a planet from the sun is proportional to a cube root of the square of the planet's period of revolution. In his Harmony of the World (1619) Kepler calculated from the greatest and the slowest speed of each planet the “divine” musical scales of the planets.
* In an American Christmas carol titled The Little Drummer a little boy brings to new-born baby Jesus the only thing he possessed – his drum. This song, undoubtedly, inspired by the Shivaite mythology turns Jewish Jesus into an avatar of the Aryan god portrayed in American iconography as a blond, blue-eyed Aryan, and not a dark-skinned, Oriental Jesus.
When Vedic scripture speaks of planets on which higher forms of life exist, it speaks more of the macrocosmic mental and intellectual planes of experience than it does of the planets we see in the sky with our physical senses.
Therefore we should not be concerned if the Mars probe return to Earth with no evidence of life...those involved have not gone to a higher planet in the sense that the Vedic scriptures speak about doing so. As interesting as the prospect of going to other planets or experiencing higher realms of material enjoyment may be, we should always be more concerned with sadhana. Sadhana and the grace of saints is infinitely more important than going to Mars.

In the Kausitaki Upanishad, the god Indra, incarnating the Absolute, boasts of his apparently wicked deeds and then addresses his worshipers in an Anti-Decalogue
“Understand me as I am…with one who knows me, his world is injured by no deed whatsoever, not by the murder of his father, not by the murder of his mother, not by theft, not by the slaughter of an embryo* (i.e. Abortion. Annie Besant who made this practice palatable in the Western world was a theosophist, or a convert to Hindu polytheism). Whatever evil he does, he does not blanch. We also read in the Brhadarnyaka Upanishad: “He does not become greater by good action, nor inferior by bad action.” (The Eye of Shiva, 8)
*Professor Jean Porter, theologian at the University of Notre Dame in his article Is The Embryo a Person? Arguing with the Catholic Traditions (Commonweal, Feb. 8, 2002) wrote: “The view that even early abortion is equivalent to murder did not begin to dominate official Catholic teachings until the nineteenth century, al;though it had been proposed earlier. Before that point, the majority view in the Western church, as reflected in canon law as well as theological opinion, drew a distinction between early – and late-stage abortions. Certainly, an early-stage abortion was considered to be a grave sin, but it was not regarded as equivalent to murder. This distinction, in turn, rests on the view, defended by Aquinas among many others, that the developing fetus does not receive a rational soul, and therefore does not attain full human status, until after a certain point in the process of development – a view sometimes described as “delayed hominization.”
Anti-Semitism of the Aryan Christianity
In consonance with the traditional anti-Semitism of the British upper classes in his magisterial two-volume work Modern Egypt, Lord Cromer argued that the ‘Oriental’, meaning Semites, was irredeemably childish and the diametrical opposite of ‘us’: “Sir Alfred Lyall once said to me: ‘Accuracy is abhorrent to the Oriental mind. Every Anglo-Indian school always remembers that maxim.’ Want of accuracy, which easily degenerates into untruthfulness, is in fact the main characteristic of the Oriental mind. The European is a close reasoner; his statements of fact are devoid of any ambiguity; he is a natural logician, albeit he may not have studied logic; he is by nature skeptical and requires proof before he can accept the truth of any proposition; his trained intelligence works like a piece of mechanism. The mind of the Oriental, on the other hand, like his picturesque streets, is eminently wanting in symmetry. His reasoning is of the most slipshod description. Although the ancient Arabs acquired in a somewhat higher degree the science of dialectics, their descendants are singularly deficient in the logical faculty. They are often incapable of drawing the most obvious conclusions from any simple premises of which they may admit the truth.” (Quoted in Edward W. Said, Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient New York and London, 1985. p.38)
“The Semitic branch,” Blvatsky, a member of the International Aristocratic Network wrote, “has never been able to develop out of its numerous tongues a language capable of embodying ideas of a moral and intellectual world; whose form of expression and drift of thought could never soar higher than the purely sensual and terrestrial figures of speech, whose literature has left nothing original, nothing that was not borrowed from the Aryan thought and whose science and philosophy are utterly wanting in those noble features which characterize the highly spiritual and metaphysical systems of the Indo-European (Japhetic) races (pp. 434, Isis Unveiled, Vol. II)
To Goebbels, Hitler, Himmler and others, including certain Theologians of the time, the Old Testament was also seen as inferior as the Jews were seen as an inferior and 'past' race..
Richard Weikart's From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany was released in 2004 (paperback edition in 2005) with Palgrave Macmillan in New York, a major publisher of historical scholarship.
In this compelling and painstakingly researched work of intellectual history, Richard Weikart explains the revolutionary impact Darwinism had on ethics and morality. He demonstrates that many leading Darwinian biologists and social thinkers in Germany believed that Darwinism overturned traditional Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment ethics, especially those pertaining to the sacredness of human life. Many of these thinkers supported moral relativism, yet simultaneously exalted evolutionary "fitness" (especially in terms of intelligence and health) as the highest arbiter of morality. Weikart concludes that Darwinism played a key role not only in the rise of eugenics, but also in euthanasia, infanticide, abortion, and racial extermination, all ultimately embraced by the Nazis

St. Thomas Aquinas, the premier teacher in the Roman Catholic tradition, like Manu, did not think the early fetus was a person - “ensouled,” in his language. St. Thomas believed the early life in the womb received a spiritual soul - and became a baby - only after three to four months. Thus, embryonic cells in a lab dish or frozen away are certainly not “ensouled.”
It is true that Aquinas did believe that the soul was not infused at the beginning of a pregnancy. This is because Aquinas followed Aristotle’s embryology (circa 300 B.C.) and believed that an embryo was not formed enough to receive a soul until well into its development. However, 21st century embryology provides clear evidence that everything the soul needs is present from the first moment of every human being’s existence - as numerous Catholic scholars have explained. Aquinas would undoubtedly accept this evidence and agree with the Church’s current teaching.
There are two fundamental pillars of evolutionary biology which are important for contemporary discussions of the relationship among biology, philosophy, and theology. The first is the claim of common ancestry: the view that all living things are historically and organically interconnected. Commentators describing the recent publication of a kind of rough draft of the total genetic constitution of the human species, its genome, have been quick to point out that, since human genes look much like those of fruit flies, worms, and even plants, we have further confirmation of common descent from "the same humble beginnings and that the connections are written in our genes." To affirm a fundamental continuity among living things challenges the notion that distinct species were created by God through special interventions in nature. Common descent challenges as well the theological view that human beings, created in the image and likeness of God, represent an ontological discontinuity with the rest of nature.(5) Specifically, it would seem that any notion of an immaterial human soul must be rejected if one is to accept the truths of contemporary biology.
It was politics which dictated this transformation of the theory; in the Hindu theology God is considered a “puru” i.e. geometrical point and this dogma is reflected in the notion of a pellet of matter. (In the Newtonian physics the difference between matter and spirit is that of degree of condensation). Big Bang theory also referred to as Modern “Genesis” retired the Biblical Genesis because the American social Darwinist and a New Ager John Fiske imparted to the enthusiastic audiences his conviction that the political genius of Aryan peoples was the hope of the world. According to this Aryan “Genesis”, we are bundles of atoms i.e. bundles of energy at the quantum level, and bundles of energy consist of 99.99999% empty space. We are all transparent, so to say.
To the Pythagoreans it was the pentagonal geometry (Pentagon) 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...
When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away (will be superseded) – 1 Cor 13:10
Th. Aquinas began his Summa Theologica with the question: “An Deus sit?” (Does God exist?). In his Summa Theologica Thomas Aquinas mentions two arguments that might be used to prove that “God does not exist.” To quote Aquinas: “What can be accomplished by a few principles is not effected by many. But it seems that everything we see in the world can be accounted for by other principles, supposing God did not exist. For all natural things can be reduced to one principle, which is nature, and all voluntary things can be reduced to one principle, which is human reason, or will. Therefore there is no need to suppose God’s existence.”
Maritain’s Philosophy of Evolution
What we need is a well-founded philosophical explanation of evolution. Jacques Maritain has left us one, and it came in the form of a lecture he gave to the Little Brothers of Jesus in Toulouse when he was 84. He starts unsurprisingly with some texts of St. Thomas, the chief of which describes an ascending hierarchy of beings and runs: "Prime matter is first of all in potency to the form of the element.
"But existing under the form of the element, it is in potency to the form of the mixed body (or of the compound), elements being the matter of the mixed body.
"And considered under the form of the mixed body, it is in potency to the vegetative soul: for it is a soul that is the act (or the substantial form) of the plant (since a plant is a living being, or a being endowed with immanent activity).
"And likewise the vegetative soul is in potency to the sensitive soul, as the sensitive soul is to the intellective soul: as it appears in human generation, in which the fetus lives first by plant life, then by animal life, and finally by human life.
"But after this form -- the intellective soul -- we do not find, in those things subject to generation and to corruption (or to substantial transformation), any subsequent or worthier form.
"And so the highest degree of the whole order of the movement of generation is the human soul, and it is toward this that matter tends as toward its ultimate form.
"The elements then exist for mixed bodies, which exist for living beings, among which the plants in turn exist for the animals and the animals for man. Indeed man is the end of the whole movement of generation."
Maritain notes that St. Thomas is talking about "the order of ascending forms," but these forms exhibit a trans-categorical tendency towards higher ontological levels, and ultimately towards the human soul because they "tend towards the divine similitude." Here we return to an idea we saw briefly before. Things act according to their own nature, but they also act to transcend that nature and reach a goal that is transnatural in regard to their own nature.
"The Darwinian theory… not only does not oppose, but lends a decided support to, a belief in the spiritual nature of man. It shows us how man’s body may have been developed from that of a lower animal from under the law of natural selection; but it also teaches us that we possess intellectual and moral faculties which could not have been so developed, but must have had another origin; and for this origin we can only find an adequate cause in the unseen universe of Spirit." (Michael Shermer, The Borderlands of Science, p. 187)
St. Thomas naturally had no idea of the modern biological idea of evolution, but Maritain believed that he would not have been disconcerted by it for long, for he would only to have had to add the dimension of time to this ascending journey of the forms in order to arrive at a philosophical understanding of it. Further, the ultimate direction of that process towards the human soul is another way of stating the strong anthropic principle, i.e., the universe tends towards intelligent life and his remark about divine similitude points to the divine causality that underlies the whole process.
"Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree" (Ibid.).
In the chapter, "The Evidence of the Descent of Man from Some Lower Form," Darwin writes:
Embryonic Development: Man is developed from an ovule, about the 125th of an inch in diameter, which differs in no respect from the ovules of other animals. The embryo itself at a very early period can hardly be distinguished from that of other members of the vertebrate kingdom. At this period . . . the slits on the sides of the neck [of human's embryo] still remain. . .
After this, he states that his observations indicate that a human embryo closely resembles that of an ape, a dog or another vertebrate but that, in later stages of development in the womb, a differentiation occurs. In a letter to his friend, Asa Gray, Darwin considered the evidence from embryology to be "by far the strongest single class of facts in in favor of" his theory.
But Darwin was no embryologist. Never once did he investigate embryos in a comprehensive way. Therefore, in developing his arguments, he quoted individuals whom he regarded as authorities on this matter. In his footnotes, one name was particularly noticeable: the German biologist, Ernst Haeckel, whose book Naturliche Schopfungsgeschichte (The Natural History of Creation) contained various drawings of embryos, together with his comments on them.
This was the "work" that Darwin used as a source in The Descent of Man. However, even before Darwin wrote his book, some noticed a major distortion in Haeckel's "work" and wrote about it. In 1868, L. Rutimeyer published an article in the science periodical Archiv für Anthropologie (Archives of Anthropology) that revealed Haeckel's falsifications. Rutimeyer, professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at Basle University, examined the embryo drawings in Naturlische Schopfungsgeschichte and Über die Entstehung und den Stammbaum des Menschengeschlechts and demonstrated that the drawings in both books had nothing to do with reality.
Despite this, Darwin and other biologists who supported him continued to accept Haeckel's drawings as a reference. And this encouraged Haeckel to try to make embryology a strong support for Darwinism. His observations produced no such support, but he regarded his drawings as more important than his observations. In following years, he made a series of comparative drawings of embryos and composed charts comparing the embryos of fish, salamanders, frogs, chickens, rabbits and human beings. The interesting thing about these side-by-side charts was that the embryos of these various creatures closely resembled one another, at first, but slowly began to differentiate in the course of their development. Particularly striking was the similarity between the embryos of a fish and a human being; so much so that in the drawings, the human embryo had what looked like gills. On the so-called scientific basis of these drawings, Haeckel proclaimed his theory that "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." This slogan represented his belief that in the course of its development, either in the egg or in its mother's womb, every creature repeats the history of its own species, from the beginning. For example, a human embryo first resembles a fish, in later weeks a salamander, then it passes through the reptilian and mammalian stages before "evolving" into a recognizable human being.
P. Sinnet's Rescue Operation
The foremost source for the Aryan myth was H.P. Blavatsky, who founded the Theosophical Society in New York in 1875. Blavatsky moved the society's operations to India from 1879 to 1885, when she and her fellow theosophists – plagued by charges of spiritual charlatanism – left for London, where she enlisted new disciples among England's upper classes. In 1880 a certain A.P. Sinner by 1851 listed as a “Scholar – London University” and by 1879 the Editor of the Pioneer, the leading English Daily of India was “introduced” by Blavatsky to hear own teachers, an Occult Brotherhood living in trans-Himalayan fastness of Tibet. We could call them The Tibetan Academy of Sciences. During the course of his correspondence which extended over the year 1880 to 1884 Mr. Sinnet received many letters from the Mahatmas M. and K.H. And this correspondence was later published under the title of The Mahatma Letters.
The following is a short passage from the Letter No. 15 received July 10th, 1882:
“Take the human foetus. From the moment of its first planting until it completes its seventh month of gestation it repeats in miniature the mineral, vegetable, and animal cycles it passed through in its previous encasements, and only during the last two, develops its human entity. It is complete but towards the child's seventh year. Yet it existed without any increase or decrease aeons on aeons before it worked its way onward, though and in the womb of mother nature as it works now in its early mother's bosom. Truly said a learned philosopher who trusts more to his intuition than the dicta of modern science. “The stages of man's intra-uterine existence embody a condensed record of some of the missing pages in Earth's history.” Thus you must look back at the animal, vegetable and mineral entities. You must take each entity at its starting point in the manvantaric course as the primordial cosmic atom already differentiated by the first flutter of the manvantaric life breath. For the potentiality which develops finally in a perfected planetary spirit lurk in, is in fact that primordial cosmic atom.” Indeed, the mantra “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny' is sort of the Aryan rosary.
According to the Aryan Anti-Decalogue
At the beginning of the 20th century, it came to light that Haeckel had falsified his drawings and he openly confessed to this, saying, After this compromising confession of "forgery" I should be obliged to consider myself condemned and annihilated if I had not the consolation of seeing side by side with me in the prisoner's dock hundreds of fellow-culprits, among them many of the most trusted observers and most esteemed biologists. The great majority of all the diagrams in the best biological textbooks, treatises and journals would incur in the same degree the charge of "forgery," for all of them are inexact, and are more or less doctored, schematized and constructed.
The fact that Haeckel's drawings were falsifications was loudly expressed only in the second half of the 1990s. The September 5, 1997 edition of the Science magazine published "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered," an article by Elizabeth Pennisi explaining that his drawings were fabrications. As she wrote:
The impression the Haeckel's drawings give, that the embryos are exactly alike, is wrong, says Michael Richardson, an embryologist at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London. . . So he and his colleagues did their own comparative study, reexamining and photographing embryos roughly matched by species and age with those Haeckel drew. Lo and behold, the embryos "often looked surprisingly different," Richardson reports in the August issue of Anatomy and Embryology.
An article in the October 16, 1999 edition of New Scientist brought Haeckel's embryology myth completely out into the open:
Haeckel called this the biogenetic law, and the idea became popularly known as recapitulation. In fact Haeckel's strict law was soon shown to be incorrect. For instance, the early human embryo never has functioning gills like a fish, and never passes through stages that look like an adult reptile or monkey
As we saw earlier, Darwin discounted other scientists' negative views of Haeckel's interpretative drawings at the time and used them to bolster his own theory. But this was not the only point where Darwinism diverged from the truth. Much more striking is that he presented the views of Karl Ernst von Baer-reputedly the most noted embryologist of the time-as distorted. Jonathan Wells' Icons of Evolution explains in detail that von Baer did not accept Darwin's theory and harshly refuted it. He was also firmly against evolutionist interpretations of embryology, formulating the rule that "the embryo of a higher form never resembles any other form, but only its embryo."He also said that Darwinists dogmatically "accepted the Darwinian evolutionary hypothesis as true before they set to the task of observing embryos." But, after the third edition of The Origin of the Species, Darwin distorted von Baer's interpretations and conclusions and used them to bolster his own theory. As Wells explained
Darwin cited von Baer as the source of his embryological evidence, but at the crucial point, Darwin distorted that evidence to make it fit his theory. Von Baer lived long enough to object to Darwin's misuse of his observations, and he was a strong critic of Darwinian evolution until his death in 1876. But Darwin persisted in citing him anyway, making him look like a supporter of the very doctrine of evolutionary parallelism he explicitly rejected.
Thomas’ views on the development of the human embryo in which the spiritual soul was only infused after conception when the embryo was fit to receive it were widespread during the Middle Ages. In more recent times it has been called delayed hominization, which perhaps is not an entirely felicitous phrase since in Thomas’ mind it wasn’t delayed, but simply came at the appropriate moment. This view was gradually displaced under the influence of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception and the discussions about the morality of abortion, and gave way to the theory of immediate hominization, that is, the infusion of the human soul at conception. Maritain felt that immediate hominization made no philosophical sense. Although the theory of delayed hominization has made some sort of comeback as a possible way to deal with the question of abortion,
When Maritain wants to elucidate this philosophy of evolution further, he focuses on the part of this passage in which St. Thomas describes human generation "in which the fetus lives first by plant life, then by animal life, and finally by human life." While Thomas’ biology which had accompanied his philosophical views of human generation has long since fallen by the wayside, Maritain believed that his philosophy remained sound, and particularly enlightening in regard to the evolutionary process. In fact, he felt that Thomas in a stroke of genius saw that the "evolutive movement" of the human embryo "recapitulates in itself, in the intra-uterine development of that being which is the head of material creation, the evolution of life which after centuries has attained its final end in man." In short, if we could fathom the philosophical nature of the evolution of the human embryo we would be better able to grasp the nature of evolution, itself, and so it was vitally important for him to hold on to St. Thomas’ views on the generation of the human embryo.
Almost every field of science had passed through a stage in its development in which it viewed natural systems as closed systems, that is, as inanimate mechanisms. For example, medical texts in medieval western Europe described human physiology in mechanical terms, comparing the organs of the body to the parts of a complex mechanism consisting of levers, pipes, and pumps. Descartes also expounded this view in his writings during the 17th century. This approach sought to describe the body's physical structure with little reference to the underlying order-creating processes responsible for its formation.
Aryan Lethal Delicatessen
"We must become the change we want to see in the world."
- Mohandas Gandhi
HINDU nationalists in India have launched a marketing exercise to promote cow’s urine as a health cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.
The urine, which is being sold under the label “Gift of the Cow”, is being enthusiastically promoted by the government of Gujarat, one of three states in India dominated by Hindu nationalists.
The urine is collected daily from almost 600 shelters for rescued and wounded cattle set up by the Vishwa Hindu Parisad (VHP), or World Council of Holy men, as part of a government cow-protection programme to save the country’s sacred, but often maltreated, beasts.
Advertised as being “sterilized and completely fresh” it is available for 20 rupees (30p) a bottle at about 50 centres run by the VHP in Gujerat, from 200 of their outlets in neighboring Madhya Pradesh, and at fairs and religious festivals throughout India.It also comes in tablets or a cream mixed with other traditional medicinal herbs. Demand is currently outstripping supply.
In the time period of pedophile scandals rocking the Catholic Church it will be instructive to remind of a 1985 “New York Native” interview with Joseph Sonnabend (“leading AIDS doctor”). “The rectum”, Sonnabend said, “is a sexual organ, and it deserves the respect a penis gets and a vagina gets.” Anal intercourse has been the central activity for gay men and for some women for all of history. The “leading AIDS doctor” did not know that the people of Katmandu suffer from chronic intestinal parasites caused by drinking water contaminated with fecal matter.
From Mahatma M. to Mahatma Gandhi
And now the fifth grandson of India's “legendary” leader, Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Gandhi, (he opposed establishment of Jewish State within its historical boundaries) Arun Gandhi who was president and co-founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, at the University of Rochester in New York published in the Washington Post of Feb. 6, 2008 a paper titled Jewish Identity Can't Depend on Violence.
He argues in his paper that Jewish identity in the past has been locked in the holocaust experience – a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. It is allegedly a very good example of a community that can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends...The Jewish identity in the future appears bleak. Any nation that remains anchored to the past is unable to move ahead and, especially a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs.
The Indian word 'Mahatma' means a 'great-souled man'. If he inherited such a great soul from his grandfather, how come that he does not see that his own country manufactures WMD to survive in the hostile environment. Did India forget its history? Does any other nation? Don't all nations on this earth commemorate their most tragic and happy events of their history. In what sense are Jews blinded by most tragic event of their history and why should they surgically (?) erase this event from their collective memory? Why should Jews listen to a scion of the corrupt dynasty which was physically exterminated by its own people including its “legendary” founder? Yes, indeed, the Jewish identity in the future would be bleak if they followed A. Gandhi's advice and started venerating Shivalinga ruling from the El-Aqsa mosque.
On Thursday, Feb. 12, 09, leaders of the Conference of Presidents of major American Jewish Organizations met with Pope Benedict in Rome. The Pope told them: “Any denial or minimization of the Holocaust is intolerable...This should be clear to anyone, especially to those standing in the tradition of the Holy Scriptures.” To his credit, Benedict has refused to receive Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
WARSAW, POLAND The chief rabbi of Tel Aviv challenged Iran's Holocaust-denying president yesterday to visit a museum being built in Warsaw that will celebrate Poland's thriving Jewish community before it was obliterated by the Nazis. (Metro June 27, 07)
Poles4israel are not repulsed by by Jewish people commemorating their loved ones even though their innumerable graveyards had been “dug in the air”. Memories stay forever with no particular place to attach to. I never saw graves of my grandfathers, yet I will never forget them. By the way, poles4irael are also friends of the Zulu People.
From Krishnamurti to Gandhi
It took a Hindu to teach Christianity its own political strategy. Mahatma Gandhi not only is called the Father of the nation of India, but he is the modern inspiration for the rediscovery of the teaching of Jesus on simplicity, fasting, and non-violence. He loved Jesus, but saw little reflection of him in institutionalized Christianity.

Gandhi’s racism. The truth behind the mask. Behold Sergeant Major Gandhi who supported the British in the Boer war, against the Zulu rebellion. Behold the prophet of peace who worked to stratify, by introducing the caste system, the South African society.
Which war did Mohandas Gandhi support? All of them. There wasn’t a war that the "prophet" of Non-Violence did not support. He was Sergeant Major in the British Army & won a medal for his combat service

GANDHI BRANDED RACISTAS JOHANNESBURG HONOURS FREEDOM FIGHTER (By Rory Carroll)
It was supposed to honour his resistance to racism in South Africa, but a new statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Johannesburg has triggered a row over his alleged contempt for black people. The 2.5 metre high (8ft) bronze statue depicting Gandhi as a dashing young human rights lawyer has been welcomed by Nelson Mandela*, among others, for recognising the Indian who launched the fight against white minority rule at the turn of the last century.
But critics have attacked the gesture for overlooking racist statements attributed to Gandhi, which suggest he viewed black people as lazy savages who were barely human.
*Incidentally, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela and Kofi Anan became now one team fighting the “Israeli apartheid.”
Haruki Murakami, Japan's top writer scheduled to accept the prestigious Jersalem Prize did not answer an open letter, titled “Don't legitimize apartheid” from the Palestine Forum Japan which urged him to cancel his plans to accept the prize in Jerusalem.

St. Augustine: “Whatever has been rightly said by the heathen, we must appropriate to our uses.”
The “germination” of the spiritual body from the physical
Like corn decays the mortal, like corn is he born again (Kata Upanishad, 1,8)
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die…All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another…So also is the resurrection of the dead…It is sown a natural body; but it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (1 Cor. 15:36-44)
In the ancient Egyptian story of Osiris the generative process is personified by the god Osiris, whose death and resurrection form the central theme of the myth. Osiris was associated with flowing water, the life force in plants, the reproductive power in animals, and more generally with the vital activity that maintains and propagates the order of life, all metaphors that collectively imply the notion of order-creating activity. Coffin Text 330 relates Osiris with both process and “the Order,” Mayet, the natural order of the world:
Whether I live or die I am Osiris,
I enter in and reappear through you,.
I decay in you, I grow in you,
I fall down in you, I fall upon my side.
The gods are living in me for I live and grow in the corn
that sustains the Honored Ones.
I cover the earth,
whether I live or die I am Barley,
I am not destroyed.
I have entered the Order,
I relay upon the Order,
I became Master of the Order
I emerge in the Order.
Osiris was preserved from decay by being wrapped in the coils of primordial serpent Nehaher. For most of the duration of the Old Kingdom, the passion of Osiris was concerned with the salvation of human souls, but with the resurrection of divine souls, those of the pharaonic kings. The resurrection ceremony was performed not out of a personal fear of death on the part of ruling class but rather to ensure the continued prosperity of the empire and to celebrate the miracle of creation of the cosmic order. Beginning around 2500 BCE, however, the Osirian ceremonies took on a more personal significance for the masses. A cult of Osiris developed and gained in popularity.
Aryan Evolution: From the Plant up to Brahma
"The first germ of life was developed by water and heat" (Manu, book i., sloka 8).
"Water ascends toward the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rain are born the plants, and from the plants, animals" (book iii., sloka 76).
"Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (book i., sloka 20).
"Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree" (Ibid.).
"These are the transformations declared, from the plant up to Brahma, which have to take place in his world" (Ibid.). (Cp. The Aryan Jesus says in Jn. 10:30: “My Father and I are one.” In the Greek, the word “one” is neuter, which means not one person but one substance,).
For example, when the desire of necessity to see arises in the jiva, the eye is manifest. Brahma is said to be the first soul and the repository of all the other jivas, who under his direction evolve upwards through aquatic life, to plant life, etc....Dasavatara Stotram (Ten Incarnations of Vishnu) in terms of evolution almost parallels the Puranic notion of life's evolution from aquatic life upwards Matsya (fish), Kurma (amphibian), Narasinga (both animal and man) etc.
Speculations about invisible dimensions leave room for rationally legitimizing the ontological reality of persons like Brahma and his lotus birth, who are otherwise thought of as merely mythological. Perhaps his chanting of the Gopala mantra can itself be construed as the big bang. After all, those in the scientific community who have embraced the superstring theory describe the world poetically as a musical vibrations, a song in the mind of God*. Bhagavat-gita asserts that life is everywhere (sarva-gatah) and Vedic literature speaks of demigods and other beings enjoying life on other planets including the moon and Mars. Is there a Vedic explanation as to why science can find no evidence of life on the moon and Mars?
*With drum and dance, Shiva represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation*, and dancing is one of the many aspects of Shiva's essence. Dance produced rhythm and that rhythm, Newton thought, must have been observed in his 'scientific” law of gravitation. Similarly, the formulation “cube roots of squares” used in Opticks was known from Kepler's Third Law, deduced again in Principia, to show the average distance of a planet from the sun is proportional to a cube root of the square of the planet's period of revolution. In his Harmony of the World (1619) Kepler calculated from the greatest and the slowest speed of each planet the “divine” musical scales of the planets.
* In an American Christmas carol titled The Little Drummer a little boy brings to new-born baby Jesus the only thing he possessed – his drum. This song, undoubtedly, inspired by the Shivaite mythology turns Jewish Jesus into an avatar of the Aryan god portrayed in American iconography as a blond, blue-eyed Aryan, and not a dark-skinned, Oriental Jesus.
When Vedic scripture speaks of planets on which higher forms of life exist, it speaks more of the macrocosmic mental and intellectual planes of experience than it does of the planets we see in the sky with our physical senses.
Therefore we should not be concerned if the Mars probe return to Earth with no evidence of life...those involved have not gone to a higher planet in the sense that the Vedic scriptures speak about doing so. As interesting as the prospect of going to other planets or experiencing higher realms of material enjoyment may be, we should always be more concerned with sadhana. Sadhana and the grace of saints is infinitely more important than going to Mars.

In the Kausitaki Upanishad, the god Indra, incarnating the Absolute, boasts of his apparently wicked deeds and then addresses his worshipers in an Anti-Decalogue
“Understand me as I am…with one who knows me, his world is injured by no deed whatsoever, not by the murder of his father, not by the murder of his mother, not by theft, not by the slaughter of an embryo* (i.e. Abortion. Annie Besant who made this practice palatable in the Western world was a theosophist, or a convert to Hindu polytheism). Whatever evil he does, he does not blanch. We also read in the Brhadarnyaka Upanishad: “He does not become greater by good action, nor inferior by bad action.” (The Eye of Shiva, 8)
*Professor Jean Porter, theologian at the University of Notre Dame in his article Is The Embryo a Person? Arguing with the Catholic Traditions (Commonweal, Feb. 8, 2002) wrote: “The view that even early abortion is equivalent to murder did not begin to dominate official Catholic teachings until the nineteenth century, al;though it had been proposed earlier. Before that point, the majority view in the Western church, as reflected in canon law as well as theological opinion, drew a distinction between early – and late-stage abortions. Certainly, an early-stage abortion was considered to be a grave sin, but it was not regarded as equivalent to murder. This distinction, in turn, rests on the view, defended by Aquinas among many others, that the developing fetus does not receive a rational soul, and therefore does not attain full human status, until after a certain point in the process of development – a view sometimes described as “delayed hominization.”
Anti-Semitism of the Aryan Christianity
In consonance with the traditional anti-Semitism of the British upper classes in his magisterial two-volume work Modern Egypt, Lord Cromer argued that the ‘Oriental’, meaning Semites, was irredeemably childish and the diametrical opposite of ‘us’: “Sir Alfred Lyall once said to me: ‘Accuracy is abhorrent to the Oriental mind. Every Anglo-Indian school always remembers that maxim.’ Want of accuracy, which easily degenerates into untruthfulness, is in fact the main characteristic of the Oriental mind. The European is a close reasoner; his statements of fact are devoid of any ambiguity; he is a natural logician, albeit he may not have studied logic; he is by nature skeptical and requires proof before he can accept the truth of any proposition; his trained intelligence works like a piece of mechanism. The mind of the Oriental, on the other hand, like his picturesque streets, is eminently wanting in symmetry. His reasoning is of the most slipshod description. Although the ancient Arabs acquired in a somewhat higher degree the science of dialectics, their descendants are singularly deficient in the logical faculty. They are often incapable of drawing the most obvious conclusions from any simple premises of which they may admit the truth.” (Quoted in Edward W. Said, Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient New York and London, 1985. p.38)
“The Semitic branch,” Blvatsky, a member of the International Aristocratic Network wrote, “has never been able to develop out of its numerous tongues a language capable of embodying ideas of a moral and intellectual world; whose form of expression and drift of thought could never soar higher than the purely sensual and terrestrial figures of speech, whose literature has left nothing original, nothing that was not borrowed from the Aryan thought and whose science and philosophy are utterly wanting in those noble features which characterize the highly spiritual and metaphysical systems of the Indo-European (Japhetic) races (pp. 434, Isis Unveiled, Vol. II)
To Goebbels, Hitler, Himmler and others, including certain Theologians of the time, the Old Testament was also seen as inferior as the Jews were seen as an inferior and 'past' race..
Richard Weikart's From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany was released in 2004 (paperback edition in 2005) with Palgrave Macmillan in New York, a major publisher of historical scholarship.
In this compelling and painstakingly researched work of intellectual history, Richard Weikart explains the revolutionary impact Darwinism had on ethics and morality. He demonstrates that many leading Darwinian biologists and social thinkers in Germany believed that Darwinism overturned traditional Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment ethics, especially those pertaining to the sacredness of human life. Many of these thinkers supported moral relativism, yet simultaneously exalted evolutionary "fitness" (especially in terms of intelligence and health) as the highest arbiter of morality. Weikart concludes that Darwinism played a key role not only in the rise of eugenics, but also in euthanasia, infanticide, abortion, and racial extermination, all ultimately embraced by the Nazis
www.csustan.edu/history/faculty/weikartr/fromdarwintohitler.htm
St. Thomas Aquinas, the premier teacher in the Roman Catholic tradition, like Manu, did not think the early fetus was a person - “ensouled,” in his language. St. Thomas believed the early life in the womb received a spiritual soul - and became a baby - only after three to four months. Thus, embryonic cells in a lab dish or frozen away are certainly not “ensouled.”
It is true that Aquinas did believe that the soul was not infused at the beginning of a pregnancy. This is because Aquinas followed Aristotle’s embryology (circa 300 B.C.) and believed that an embryo was not formed enough to receive a soul until well into its development. However, 21st century embryology provides clear evidence that everything the soul needs is present from the first moment of every human being’s existence - as numerous Catholic scholars have explained. Aquinas would undoubtedly accept this evidence and agree with the Church’s current teaching.
There are two fundamental pillars of evolutionary biology which are important for contemporary discussions of the relationship among biology, philosophy, and theology. The first is the claim of common ancestry: the view that all living things are historically and organically interconnected. Commentators describing the recent publication of a kind of rough draft of the total genetic constitution of the human species, its genome, have been quick to point out that, since human genes look much like those of fruit flies, worms, and even plants, we have further confirmation of common descent from "the same humble beginnings and that the connections are written in our genes." To affirm a fundamental continuity among living things challenges the notion that distinct species were created by God through special interventions in nature. Common descent challenges as well the theological view that human beings, created in the image and likeness of God, represent an ontological discontinuity with the rest of nature.(5) Specifically, it would seem that any notion of an immaterial human soul must be rejected if one is to accept the truths of contemporary biology.
It was politics which dictated this transformation of the theory; in the Hindu theology God is considered a “puru” i.e. geometrical point and this dogma is reflected in the notion of a pellet of matter. (In the Newtonian physics the difference between matter and spirit is that of degree of condensation). Big Bang theory also referred to as Modern “Genesis” retired the Biblical Genesis because the American social Darwinist and a New Ager John Fiske imparted to the enthusiastic audiences his conviction that the political genius of Aryan peoples was the hope of the world. According to this Aryan “Genesis”, we are bundles of atoms i.e. bundles of energy at the quantum level, and bundles of energy consist of 99.99999% empty space. We are all transparent, so to say.
To the Pythagoreans it was the pentagonal geometry (Pentagon) 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...
When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away (will be superseded) – 1 Cor 13:10
Th. Aquinas began his Summa Theologica with the question: “An Deus sit?” (Does God exist?). In his Summa Theologica Thomas Aquinas mentions two arguments that might be used to prove that “God does not exist.” To quote Aquinas: “What can be accomplished by a few principles is not effected by many. But it seems that everything we see in the world can be accounted for by other principles, supposing God did not exist. For all natural things can be reduced to one principle, which is nature, and all voluntary things can be reduced to one principle, which is human reason, or will. Therefore there is no need to suppose God’s existence.”
Maritain’s Philosophy of Evolution
What we need is a well-founded philosophical explanation of evolution. Jacques Maritain has left us one, and it came in the form of a lecture he gave to the Little Brothers of Jesus in Toulouse when he was 84. He starts unsurprisingly with some texts of St. Thomas, the chief of which describes an ascending hierarchy of beings and runs: "Prime matter is first of all in potency to the form of the element.
"But existing under the form of the element, it is in potency to the form of the mixed body (or of the compound), elements being the matter of the mixed body.
"And considered under the form of the mixed body, it is in potency to the vegetative soul: for it is a soul that is the act (or the substantial form) of the plant (since a plant is a living being, or a being endowed with immanent activity).
"And likewise the vegetative soul is in potency to the sensitive soul, as the sensitive soul is to the intellective soul: as it appears in human generation, in which the fetus lives first by plant life, then by animal life, and finally by human life.
"But after this form -- the intellective soul -- we do not find, in those things subject to generation and to corruption (or to substantial transformation), any subsequent or worthier form.
"And so the highest degree of the whole order of the movement of generation is the human soul, and it is toward this that matter tends as toward its ultimate form.
"The elements then exist for mixed bodies, which exist for living beings, among which the plants in turn exist for the animals and the animals for man. Indeed man is the end of the whole movement of generation."
Maritain notes that St. Thomas is talking about "the order of ascending forms," but these forms exhibit a trans-categorical tendency towards higher ontological levels, and ultimately towards the human soul because they "tend towards the divine similitude." Here we return to an idea we saw briefly before. Things act according to their own nature, but they also act to transcend that nature and reach a goal that is transnatural in regard to their own nature.
"The Darwinian theory… not only does not oppose, but lends a decided support to, a belief in the spiritual nature of man. It shows us how man’s body may have been developed from that of a lower animal from under the law of natural selection; but it also teaches us that we possess intellectual and moral faculties which could not have been so developed, but must have had another origin; and for this origin we can only find an adequate cause in the unseen universe of Spirit." (Michael Shermer, The Borderlands of Science, p. 187)
St. Thomas naturally had no idea of the modern biological idea of evolution, but Maritain believed that he would not have been disconcerted by it for long, for he would only to have had to add the dimension of time to this ascending journey of the forms in order to arrive at a philosophical understanding of it. Further, the ultimate direction of that process towards the human soul is another way of stating the strong anthropic principle, i.e., the universe tends towards intelligent life and his remark about divine similitude points to the divine causality that underlies the whole process.
"Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree" (Ibid.).
In the chapter, "The Evidence of the Descent of Man from Some Lower Form," Darwin writes:
Embryonic Development: Man is developed from an ovule, about the 125th of an inch in diameter, which differs in no respect from the ovules of other animals. The embryo itself at a very early period can hardly be distinguished from that of other members of the vertebrate kingdom. At this period . . . the slits on the sides of the neck [of human's embryo] still remain. . .
After this, he states that his observations indicate that a human embryo closely resembles that of an ape, a dog or another vertebrate but that, in later stages of development in the womb, a differentiation occurs. In a letter to his friend, Asa Gray, Darwin considered the evidence from embryology to be "by far the strongest single class of facts in in favor of" his theory.
But Darwin was no embryologist. Never once did he investigate embryos in a comprehensive way. Therefore, in developing his arguments, he quoted individuals whom he regarded as authorities on this matter. In his footnotes, one name was particularly noticeable: the German biologist, Ernst Haeckel, whose book Naturliche Schopfungsgeschichte (The Natural History of Creation) contained various drawings of embryos, together with his comments on them.
This was the "work" that Darwin used as a source in The Descent of Man. However, even before Darwin wrote his book, some noticed a major distortion in Haeckel's "work" and wrote about it. In 1868, L. Rutimeyer published an article in the science periodical Archiv für Anthropologie (Archives of Anthropology) that revealed Haeckel's falsifications. Rutimeyer, professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at Basle University, examined the embryo drawings in Naturlische Schopfungsgeschichte and Über die Entstehung und den Stammbaum des Menschengeschlechts and demonstrated that the drawings in both books had nothing to do with reality.
Despite this, Darwin and other biologists who supported him continued to accept Haeckel's drawings as a reference. And this encouraged Haeckel to try to make embryology a strong support for Darwinism. His observations produced no such support, but he regarded his drawings as more important than his observations. In following years, he made a series of comparative drawings of embryos and composed charts comparing the embryos of fish, salamanders, frogs, chickens, rabbits and human beings. The interesting thing about these side-by-side charts was that the embryos of these various creatures closely resembled one another, at first, but slowly began to differentiate in the course of their development. Particularly striking was the similarity between the embryos of a fish and a human being; so much so that in the drawings, the human embryo had what looked like gills. On the so-called scientific basis of these drawings, Haeckel proclaimed his theory that "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." This slogan represented his belief that in the course of its development, either in the egg or in its mother's womb, every creature repeats the history of its own species, from the beginning. For example, a human embryo first resembles a fish, in later weeks a salamander, then it passes through the reptilian and mammalian stages before "evolving" into a recognizable human being.
P. Sinnet's Rescue Operation
The foremost source for the Aryan myth was H.P. Blavatsky, who founded the Theosophical Society in New York in 1875. Blavatsky moved the society's operations to India from 1879 to 1885, when she and her fellow theosophists – plagued by charges of spiritual charlatanism – left for London, where she enlisted new disciples among England's upper classes. In 1880 a certain A.P. Sinner by 1851 listed as a “Scholar – London University” and by 1879 the Editor of the Pioneer, the leading English Daily of India was “introduced” by Blavatsky to hear own teachers, an Occult Brotherhood living in trans-Himalayan fastness of Tibet. We could call them The Tibetan Academy of Sciences. During the course of his correspondence which extended over the year 1880 to 1884 Mr. Sinnet received many letters from the Mahatmas M. and K.H. And this correspondence was later published under the title of The Mahatma Letters.
The following is a short passage from the Letter No. 15 received July 10th, 1882:
“Take the human foetus. From the moment of its first planting until it completes its seventh month of gestation it repeats in miniature the mineral, vegetable, and animal cycles it passed through in its previous encasements, and only during the last two, develops its human entity. It is complete but towards the child's seventh year. Yet it existed without any increase or decrease aeons on aeons before it worked its way onward, though and in the womb of mother nature as it works now in its early mother's bosom. Truly said a learned philosopher who trusts more to his intuition than the dicta of modern science. “The stages of man's intra-uterine existence embody a condensed record of some of the missing pages in Earth's history.” Thus you must look back at the animal, vegetable and mineral entities. You must take each entity at its starting point in the manvantaric course as the primordial cosmic atom already differentiated by the first flutter of the manvantaric life breath. For the potentiality which develops finally in a perfected planetary spirit lurk in, is in fact that primordial cosmic atom.” Indeed, the mantra “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny' is sort of the Aryan rosary.
According to the Aryan Anti-Decalogue
At the beginning of the 20th century, it came to light that Haeckel had falsified his drawings and he openly confessed to this, saying, After this compromising confession of "forgery" I should be obliged to consider myself condemned and annihilated if I had not the consolation of seeing side by side with me in the prisoner's dock hundreds of fellow-culprits, among them many of the most trusted observers and most esteemed biologists. The great majority of all the diagrams in the best biological textbooks, treatises and journals would incur in the same degree the charge of "forgery," for all of them are inexact, and are more or less doctored, schematized and constructed.
The fact that Haeckel's drawings were falsifications was loudly expressed only in the second half of the 1990s. The September 5, 1997 edition of the Science magazine published "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered," an article by Elizabeth Pennisi explaining that his drawings were fabrications. As she wrote:
The impression the Haeckel's drawings give, that the embryos are exactly alike, is wrong, says Michael Richardson, an embryologist at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London. . . So he and his colleagues did their own comparative study, reexamining and photographing embryos roughly matched by species and age with those Haeckel drew. Lo and behold, the embryos "often looked surprisingly different," Richardson reports in the August issue of Anatomy and Embryology.
An article in the October 16, 1999 edition of New Scientist brought Haeckel's embryology myth completely out into the open:
Haeckel called this the biogenetic law, and the idea became popularly known as recapitulation. In fact Haeckel's strict law was soon shown to be incorrect. For instance, the early human embryo never has functioning gills like a fish, and never passes through stages that look like an adult reptile or monkey
As we saw earlier, Darwin discounted other scientists' negative views of Haeckel's interpretative drawings at the time and used them to bolster his own theory. But this was not the only point where Darwinism diverged from the truth. Much more striking is that he presented the views of Karl Ernst von Baer-reputedly the most noted embryologist of the time-as distorted. Jonathan Wells' Icons of Evolution explains in detail that von Baer did not accept Darwin's theory and harshly refuted it. He was also firmly against evolutionist interpretations of embryology, formulating the rule that "the embryo of a higher form never resembles any other form, but only its embryo."He also said that Darwinists dogmatically "accepted the Darwinian evolutionary hypothesis as true before they set to the task of observing embryos." But, after the third edition of The Origin of the Species, Darwin distorted von Baer's interpretations and conclusions and used them to bolster his own theory. As Wells explained
Darwin cited von Baer as the source of his embryological evidence, but at the crucial point, Darwin distorted that evidence to make it fit his theory. Von Baer lived long enough to object to Darwin's misuse of his observations, and he was a strong critic of Darwinian evolution until his death in 1876. But Darwin persisted in citing him anyway, making him look like a supporter of the very doctrine of evolutionary parallelism he explicitly rejected.
Thomas’ views on the development of the human embryo in which the spiritual soul was only infused after conception when the embryo was fit to receive it were widespread during the Middle Ages. In more recent times it has been called delayed hominization, which perhaps is not an entirely felicitous phrase since in Thomas’ mind it wasn’t delayed, but simply came at the appropriate moment. This view was gradually displaced under the influence of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception and the discussions about the morality of abortion, and gave way to the theory of immediate hominization, that is, the infusion of the human soul at conception. Maritain felt that immediate hominization made no philosophical sense. Although the theory of delayed hominization has made some sort of comeback as a possible way to deal with the question of abortion,
When Maritain wants to elucidate this philosophy of evolution further, he focuses on the part of this passage in which St. Thomas describes human generation "in which the fetus lives first by plant life, then by animal life, and finally by human life." While Thomas’ biology which had accompanied his philosophical views of human generation has long since fallen by the wayside, Maritain believed that his philosophy remained sound, and particularly enlightening in regard to the evolutionary process. In fact, he felt that Thomas in a stroke of genius saw that the "evolutive movement" of the human embryo "recapitulates in itself, in the intra-uterine development of that being which is the head of material creation, the evolution of life which after centuries has attained its final end in man." In short, if we could fathom the philosophical nature of the evolution of the human embryo we would be better able to grasp the nature of evolution, itself, and so it was vitally important for him to hold on to St. Thomas’ views on the generation of the human embryo.
Almost every field of science had passed through a stage in its development in which it viewed natural systems as closed systems, that is, as inanimate mechanisms. For example, medical texts in medieval western Europe described human physiology in mechanical terms, comparing the organs of the body to the parts of a complex mechanism consisting of levers, pipes, and pumps. Descartes also expounded this view in his writings during the 17th century. This approach sought to describe the body's physical structure with little reference to the underlying order-creating processes responsible for its formation.
Aryan Lethal Delicatessen
"We must become the change we want to see in the world."
- Mohandas Gandhi
HINDU nationalists in India have launched a marketing exercise to promote cow’s urine as a health cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.
The urine, which is being sold under the label “Gift of the Cow”, is being enthusiastically promoted by the government of Gujarat, one of three states in India dominated by Hindu nationalists.
The urine is collected daily from almost 600 shelters for rescued and wounded cattle set up by the Vishwa Hindu Parisad (VHP), or World Council of Holy men, as part of a government cow-protection programme to save the country’s sacred, but often maltreated, beasts.
Advertised as being “sterilized and completely fresh” it is available for 20 rupees (30p) a bottle at about 50 centres run by the VHP in Gujerat, from 200 of their outlets in neighboring Madhya Pradesh, and at fairs and religious festivals throughout India.It also comes in tablets or a cream mixed with other traditional medicinal herbs. Demand is currently outstripping supply.
In the time period of pedophile scandals rocking the Catholic Church it will be instructive to remind of a 1985 “New York Native” interview with Joseph Sonnabend (“leading AIDS doctor”). “The rectum”, Sonnabend said, “is a sexual organ, and it deserves the respect a penis gets and a vagina gets.” Anal intercourse has been the central activity for gay men and for some women for all of history. The “leading AIDS doctor” did not know that the people of Katmandu suffer from chronic intestinal parasites caused by drinking water contaminated with fecal matter.
From Mahatma M. to Mahatma Gandhi
And now the fifth grandson of India's “legendary” leader, Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Gandhi, (he opposed establishment of Jewish State within its historical boundaries) Arun Gandhi who was president and co-founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, at the University of Rochester in New York published in the Washington Post of Feb. 6, 2008 a paper titled Jewish Identity Can't Depend on Violence.
He argues in his paper that Jewish identity in the past has been locked in the holocaust experience – a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. It is allegedly a very good example of a community that can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends...The Jewish identity in the future appears bleak. Any nation that remains anchored to the past is unable to move ahead and, especially a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs.
The Indian word 'Mahatma' means a 'great-souled man'. If he inherited such a great soul from his grandfather, how come that he does not see that his own country manufactures WMD to survive in the hostile environment. Did India forget its history? Does any other nation? Don't all nations on this earth commemorate their most tragic and happy events of their history. In what sense are Jews blinded by most tragic event of their history and why should they surgically (?) erase this event from their collective memory? Why should Jews listen to a scion of the corrupt dynasty which was physically exterminated by its own people including its “legendary” founder? Yes, indeed, the Jewish identity in the future would be bleak if they followed A. Gandhi's advice and started venerating Shivalinga ruling from the El-Aqsa mosque.
On Thursday, Feb. 12, 09, leaders of the Conference of Presidents of major American Jewish Organizations met with Pope Benedict in Rome. The Pope told them: “Any denial or minimization of the Holocaust is intolerable...This should be clear to anyone, especially to those standing in the tradition of the Holy Scriptures.” To his credit, Benedict has refused to receive Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
WARSAW, POLAND The chief rabbi of Tel Aviv challenged Iran's Holocaust-denying president yesterday to visit a museum being built in Warsaw that will celebrate Poland's thriving Jewish community before it was obliterated by the Nazis. (Metro June 27, 07)
Poles4israel are not repulsed by by Jewish people commemorating their loved ones even though their innumerable graveyards had been “dug in the air”. Memories stay forever with no particular place to attach to. I never saw graves of my grandfathers, yet I will never forget them. By the way, poles4irael are also friends of the Zulu People.

Inherent Racism of Heliocentrism
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
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.

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 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.

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.
