... off from reality over such an interval'. Now I believe that the Maya did know what they were about, so I divided this magic number by the Venus and Mars Maya synodic values which indicate repetitions within this magic number time length. I also divided it by the old year concepts of 360 and 365 days and by the Maya sacred year of 260 days. When the mathematics revealed a relationship, I remembered the phrase Harmony of the Spheres' and wondered if the results observed through my mathematics were evidence of such ancient harmony. My enthusiasm was further heightened when I applied my synodic days to a basic astronomy equation which is used to calculate synodic/sidereal relationship to ...

62. Saturn's Cosmos [Books]
... by archaeologists are the hundreds upon hundreds of myths and liturgies focusing on the cosmic images , , and . Ancient sources reveal a world-wide concern with a concrete celestial form- an ideal configuration identified as the great god and his heavenly dwelling. The subject is not the present world order, but the former. The symbols, legends, and sacred hymns attempt to preserve a memory Saturn and the primeval Cosmos. THE ENCLOSED SUN When Saturn appeared alone in the cosmic waters, a brilliant band congealed around the god as his celestial "island." This band was the original Cosmos, often portrayed as a revolving egg, a coil of rope, a belt or a shield enclosing ...

63. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... In applying Velikovsky's historical method I will try to establish two conclusions following from its two aspects. The first is that recent archaeological explorations of the oldest stratum of Mesoamerican civilization, the Olmec, have constructed a record which suggests with very satisfying chronological correspondence the events described in Worlds in Collision. The second is that in the only perfectly preserved sacred narrative left us by any Mesoamerican people, the Popol Vuh or Book of Counsel of the Quiche Mayas, these same events are stated to be the unifying cause for the complex of practices by which Mesoamerican civilization is everywhere defined. To support this second conclusion I will adduce more fragmentary narratives from other Mesoamerican cultures which clearly refer to these ...

... From: Aeon VI:6 (Dec 2001) Home | Issue Contents Mysteries of the Sacred Universe: The Cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana by Richard L. Thompson (Govardhan Hill Publishing: Alachua: Florida: 2000) Reviewed by Tania ta Maria I found Thompson's Mysteries of the Sacred Universe a very difficult book to read. It is not because it's badly written. It is well written- extremely well. What made it difficult is the complexity of its subject matter. What Thompson sets out to accomplish is to show that Puranic cosmology is to be understood on three separate, but superimposed, levels: astronomical, geographical, and spiritual. And, in that respect ...

... as one and the same. All the mystery of iron proceeds from the facts shortly indicated above. Iron was the thunderbolt, one of the most appalling powers in Nature. It could split or devastate anything it approached. It was dangerous in the first place, and later, when man began to envisage gods for himself, it became sacred also, coming as it did from above. But whether it was considered holy or accursed depended upon the attitude of the thinker towards the god he thought it to represent, and this passed on to the iron man made for himself. Thus, a man purifies himself before daring to extract iron from its ore. A sword made ...

68. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sacrifice Gunnar Heinsohn The first stage of civilization appeared in the Bronze Age with temple-centered urban settlements. It is not known why priest-kings were suddenly accepted as hierarchically superior rulers entitled to provisions by their fellows who thereby turned themselves into mankind's first commoners. Sophisticated blood rituals became the most prominent activities of the first permanent lords. The origin of these sacred procedures remained equally enigmatic. Though well documented, the textual and archaeological sources which point to catastrophic preconditions for the emergence of a sacrificial elite, are only rarely taken into consideration by students of religion. This paper tries to show the essential correctness of Mesopotamian myths, which claim the first "cult places" and their priestly personnel to ...

69. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... the ladder-to-heaven complex, thereby allowing us to better understand its original historical context. When The Sky Was Near A seemingly universal belief holds that, in primeval times, heaven was located fairly close to Earth- so close, in fact, that traffic between the two was commonplace. It was in such times, according to the testimony of sacred traditions around the world, that a luminous ladder spanned the sky thereby allowing for ready access to the celestial kingdom. Through one catastrophe or another, the ladder-to-heaven eventually collapsed and the sky was uplifted to its present height, often amidst cataclysmic circumstances. The continent of Africa offers a wealth of documentation attesting to a ladder-to-heaven in former times ...

... was an exception to this rule. All symbols did not originate in the same way. Some were conventionalized natural subjects, or conventionalized living creatures, or simply characteristic features of these objects or creatures, such as a leaf or branch representative of a tree, the horns of an animal like the ram or deer, the wings of a sacred bird like those of the falcon in the Egyptian "winged disc", or merely a feather of a bird, or the impression of a "bee's foot" to convey the idea of the presence of a god, as a Buddha footprint conveys to Buddhists the feeling that Buddha is present. Thus in an Egyptian magical papyrus, ...
