42. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Mysteries of the Sacred Universe www.sacreduniverse.com From the flat earth to the sun's chariot, traditional spiritual texts often seem wedded to outmoded cosmologies that show, at best, the scientific limitations of their authors. The Bhagavata Purana, one of the classical scriptures of Hinduism, seems, at first glance, to be no exception. However, a closer examination of this text reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical ...
43. RECONSTRUCTING THE SATURN MYTH [Journals] [Aeon]
... to recover what was lost. To see how completely our ancestors were driven by this compulsion, we must consider the entire sweep of those rituals dominating every level of their activity: ancient New Year's festivals and rites of kingship, temple hymns and prayers, holy wars and endless sacrifices to the gods, seasonal mystery plays, initiation rites and sacred architecture- in all of which the overarching purpose was to recapture some aspect of the Golden Age. Cultural Hero On every continent the tradition was kept alive of a great father or cultural hero, a mysterious "ancestor" depicted simultaneously as god and man and so completely identified with the Golden Age that it is impossible to separate the one ...
... Pro fessor George Arthur Wilson, Ph.D ., Syracuse University. . PREFACE 17 As I write these names I am painfully re minded of not a few others equally entitled to appreciative mention, whose honored bearers, no longer with us, have risen to loftier viewpoints in the universe than any we on earth can reach. Ever sacredly cherished shall be their memory. Postscript. Since the foregoing was written Dr. C. H. W. Johns has laid me under new and deeper obligation by carefully reading the entire manuscript of the work and kindly expressing his unqualified approval of its fundamental positions.

45. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... same enclosure. For all of mankind the band of the enclosed sun became the model of the ideal dwelling, the divinely prescribed plan. All that was outside belonged to chaos and darkness. (57) Countless myths insist that temples, cities and kingdoms on earth arose as copies of this radiant band. (58) Sumerian hymns and sacred texts speak of a shining temple in the sky, the celestial dwelling of the sun god or cultural hero. It is described "floating in the skyheaven's midst," (59) or floats "like a cloud in the midst of the sky." (60) Throughout Mesopotamia the local temple took its name and symbolism from ...
46. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... drawn from these accounts forever sweeps aside the conclusion that this bridge was the rainbow. It was known and named in canopy times when no rainbow could be formed. It lived in the mind of man when the sun was a hidden object, when the heaven of primitive man was a vapor expanse and very close to the earth. The sacred writings of the Persians never refer to this "bridge" as a bow or curved object. It is a vast expanse and souls are represented as climbing up from one horizon in order to reach heaven and climbing down again on the opposite. This is just the motion of a canopy revolving about the earth, up on one side ...
47. Flavius Josephus Against Apion Book 1 [Books]
... made it evident to those who peruse them, that our Jewish nation is of very great antiquity, and had a distinct subsistence of its own originally; as also, I have therein declared how we came to inhabit this country wherein we now live. Those Antiquities contain the history of five thousand years, and are taken out of our sacred books, but are translated by me into the Greek tongue. However, since I observe a considerable number of people giving ear to the reproaches that are laid against us by those who bear ill-will to us, and will not believe what I have written concerning the antiquity of our nation, while they take it for a plain sign ...

(Marlowe's Faustus i, 1, Sq.) ALMOST beyond belief is the endless number of human sacred ideas founded in a supreme reverence for the revolution of the Universe round the Axis of the Earth, and for the almighty Power that accomplishes that stupendous All containing motion. Many of these ideas are still extant as concrete and in-eradicable expressions in the languages, liturgies, and sciences of men. Every textbook on astronomy is written in the ...
