... the last remnant of waters falling to the earth. These waters, formed originally in and repelled from, that great laboratory, the primitive earth, skirted the boundaries of a vast and remarkable atmosphere, with which the chemist, the geologist, and the enlightened astronomer are familiar. . . . The whole range of ancient writings, both sacred and profane, abundantly prove this." In that little volume it was pointed out that the solar orb during the antediluvian period was hidden from the view of man, explaining why the rainbow was not seen before the flood. That the "great deep" was on high. "The idea that the deep' referred to in ...
142. Thoth Vol I, No. 24: October 20, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... is at work, running from the specific to the general, from the archetype to the symbol. Quetzalcoatl died at a critical moment in cosmic history, a moment signified by both the end and the beginning of the time-reckoning cycle, mythically the end of one world age and the beginning of another. In the calendar system and in the sacred rites, the cyclical principle established by the life and death of Quetzalcoatl is both repeated and generalized: as above, so below; as before, so again. Hence, kings will die on the day One Reed, the day that Quetzalcoatl's heart-soul departed to become the planet Venus. What, then, is the significance of the ...
143. Was the Spiral a Symbol or an Art-Motif? [Books]
... , which in repose curves its tentacles in spiral form and with the ram's horns of various outstanding deities. In doing so, they have emphasized the religious or magico-religious associations of the objects in question. Their list, however, can be greatly added to. Certain reptiles, plants and animals figure in the ancient mythological collections. Serpents were sacred in many lands, and they coil themselves m spiral form; many climbing plants, including the sacred ivy, the sacred vine, the sacred mistletoe, etc., assume spiral forms in the course of growth; while by "tree worshippers" it could not have been overlooked, for they were close observers, that the leaves ...
144. Thoth Vol III, No. 14: Nov 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... quantized redshifts .. . each has its separate and ill-fitting conventional excuse. But all can be explained as aspects of the single phenomenon of plasma. The Saturn Theory extracts a coherent intelligibility from the recurring plots, characters, and forms of globally-dispersed stories, artifacts, and symbols. Dragons, cosmic thunderbolts, radiant goddesses, lightning-scarred warriors, sacred enclosures, world mountains, revolving crescents, universal floods .. . each has failed to conform with commonplace interpretations. But all fit into a logical unity of the polar configuration. Both the Saturn Theory and the Electric Universe are exciting ideas. But together they establish a viewpoint that replaces the idea of gravitational free-fall with the bigger idea ...

146. A Critical Re-appraisal of the Book of Genesis, Part Two [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Noah to Jacob), before the time of Moses, and the second during the Babylonian Exile of the 6th and 5th centuries B.C . Now the point which we wish to emphasise as regards this - and it is a very important point - can be seen in the following passage written by Yahuda: "Whereas those books of Sacred Scripture which were admittedly written during and after the Babylonian Exile reveal in language and style such an unmistakable Babylonian influence that these newly-entered foreign elements leap to the eye, by contrast in the first part of the Book of Genesis, which describes the earlier Babylonian period, the Babylonian influence in the language is so minute as to be almost ...

... Hebrew Bible); Yao, Yaotl (ancient Mexico); Yahu (ejaculation of the Puget Sound Indians and other Amer-lndians when they performed the ritual of raising up the fallen sky off the earth) [14]. It is perhaps of some significance that Cohane has found Haue, a Middle-English god-name, in the names of gods, sacred places, rivers, salutations, and objects all over the world into the hundreds of instances. "In the landscape of the Old Testament part of the world is still overflowing with Hawa place-names."[15] All sound alike despite spellings such as oa.., ua.., awa.., huwa.. ...
148. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... art, and architecture. Recitation of the story momentarily transported both the storyteller and the listener backwards to the mythical epoch, which was experienced as more compelling, more "true" than the later age. That's why, among all early civilizations, as noted by Mircea Eliade and others, the age of myth provided the models for all sacred activity. 3 Recurring mythical themes are almost certainly prehistoric. The basis of this generalization is a simple provable fact. All fundamental mythical themes will be found in very early historical sources, and the related signs and symbols will be found in prehistoric settings. This rarely acknowledged fact, which could be easily disproved if incorrect, is of ...

... in all religions, like the concept of deity itself, and are certainly open to catastrophic analysis if one wants to use them to speculate about events early in our history, but that is not within the field of view of this paper and will consequently be passed over, juicy as it is. Stratum Three contains the second kind of sacred narrative, the stories about the acts of the Deity and related divine beings, as well as of semi-divine and human beings, long after the Creation. They constitute the local data on which each religion builds its theology. Such narratives about greater and lesser personages are a distinctly different set, believed to be testimony from the human past ...

... most rigorous, the most regular and the most stable in its orbit. Its path exhibits the least deviation and is able to absorb the perturbations and disturbances of space more than any other body in the solar system. Saturn is imperturbable. Also known as Kronos, Saturn is the Time Keeper of the solar family. [. .] Sacred and Phenomenal Measures: The essentials of the measurement system we are about to unfold could be derived from close observation of any natural event or structure. But our ringed celestial neighbor Saturn is a particularly eloquent model. As a planetary resource it sets the standard of timing for the solar system. From Saturn we will build the system of ...
