Mayan prophecy 21 December 2012

People thought that the world would end in December 2012 based on the Mayan Prophecy surrounding their cultures calendar, yet we did not. Then some said it was not our end, but rather a consciousness ending. Yet people who speculate in these theories, never really do the ground breaking research themselves, they just build on existing theories, using their own words as the proof, as fare as I have seen and heard.

The Mayan people was used to manipulate many people to believe in the 'end of times' much more, this is probably due to our endless destructive ways in general. we are a rather paranoid species, especially considering that we are the Apex predator only bending to natures elements.

People lacked the knowledge about the Mayan civilization, and their ideas and beliefs, which would quickly have killed of the Mayan prophecy 21 December 2012 theory. Their calendar is more section built, when a sheet of paper ends, it does not mean that the so called understanding of life would end.

Incoming... Asteroid 2012 DA14

On the other hand I find it very interesting, if not fascinating, that no one really cares about this actual - REAL asteroid that is heading our way, and it is not a small one.

Normally I would not pay attention to asteroids, because they are actually very common. If people only knew more about the universe, then they might not be too feed up with our human mistakes. At least not be traumatized from childhood because an idiot adult squashes us like a bug, right from the get-go. Sorry for that, but a lot of our mental problems tend to be born in us, at a very young age.

The only thing that made me raise my eyebrow a little bit, was the path of this Asteroid 2012 DA14. It is heading straight between Earth and the Moon, a rather tight line if you take the entire space into account.
NASA suspect it to come closer to us, than our own public satellites ( 14,913 miles)...

Conclusion..

We still seem to be caught up by our own paranoia, that our beliefs is the sole right thing..

I only base this on the fact that so many people believed that the world would end (as they thought the Mayan calendar predicted..) They were proven wrong, even before the day itself, by the Mayans own understanding of the cosmos and life in general (underestimating them), they just did not care to read the smaller text at the bottom (as we could say).

Yet no one has made any end-prediction of any sort about the incoming REAL Asteroid. Which is a scientific fact, not based on beliefs, but pretty dam visible in the back rear window.

This means that even in 2012-2013 we are still at a very primitive level in our existence, since 'beliefs' again triumphs over REAL 'Fact' in the general human perception..
Scary if you ask me....

let's just pray for a asteroid fly-by earth.

Call me a Star Watcher, I can sit for hours just looking at the stars with my naked eye. so when I found out that I did not need a telescope anymore to see the stars, I was ecstatic to say the least.

Because of the computer and the internet, everyone with these two, can sit comfortable back in their sofa, and look deep into space. Looking into time itself, into the past, present and the future.
Could there be anything more inspiring??

The Zodiac

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 01:12:00 +0000

Round and round everything spins, and wherever it stops it always begins.

The paradox of life is everywhere we look, yet we do not have time to look.

The Zodiac is an eternal paradox, which no science nor spiritual leader can explain. When and where it was created, is Unknown, many have theories, but it is still unknown.

It is said that in ancient Egypt, they did not know about, what today is known as the Zodiac, but I personally believe they mastered it.

We use the Greek alphabet here in the West, probably because it was the Greeks that conquered a very large part of the world, during the Punic war.

Not only that, they were great politicians, not destroying their enemies, but making compromises, so people could co-exist.

Anyway this is some of the reason that most of the educational material we use today, directly descend from the Greeks.

This is a little bit interesting, especially if you dig deeper into what this has brought with it.

But no matter what we can thank the Greeks for our very basic alphabet.

The Zodiac word (Greek: ζῳδιακός, zōdiakos).

Ptolemy I conquered Egypt from the last pharaohs, and then him and his family began to re-create temples.

The round zodiac circle is seen in Egypt around 200 B.C and it was some from the Ptolemy's family line that changed it so.

But they were hardly the creator of such complex knowledge. Many do not notice the ancient Egyptian zodiac signs, and not many bring light upon this topic, I do wonder why?

The ancient Egyptian would not put the zodiac signs into a circle, as the Greeks chose to do, they placed the signs wherever they liked, or wherever it was needed.

I haven't been to one temple, which does not portray the zodiac signs.

Their whole religious system, is build up by the complexity of both universal as well as the earthly nature.

But I also agree in the point that it was not the ancient Egyptian that created the round Zodiac, which probably descend from Babylonian (the Chaldean people).

A Note: The Zodiac circle existed before this time, but was first seen in Egypt at this time (even thou some ancient texts come very close to presenting almost the same idea, just with different images).

I would say that the Zodiac circle is the first, and greatest tool when you are working with horoscopes.

The Zodiac signs making up this circle, are

Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricornus
Aquarius

Cetus and its surrounding - Case study

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:15:00 +0000

As I was playing around with the images in the post before this, I had some interesting thoughts, which I thought I would share. So this is a little case study of Cetus and its surrounding.

I find it very interesting that on many old star maps, Pisces seems to be connected to the neck of Cetus through the cord (drawn in red on the image).

It also looks as if Aries is lying down upon Cetus head (see the glow on the image). The notable thing here is the fact that Aries is the 1. House (the beginning) and Pisces is the 12. House (the Ending), we could call Cetus the beginning of the outer planes, as the inner plane could be seen as ending in Pisces the twelfth zodiac sign.

Sea monsters are known to almost all ancient cultures, and the people back then seemed to have classified these creatures to an even more ancient time then themselves.
In Chinese mythology a mysterious giant sea creature is known as Kun, this creature was said to be able to turn itself into a bird.

But not everyone gave this constellation the look of something enormous and scary, this is probably how we each preserve what we are looking at. Interesting to compare to these star maps, would be the zodiac circle, which must be the first ancient Greek perception of this field of stars.

another ancient sea monster is known as Tiamat, she was a primal ancient mother goddess, she was the salt water ocean. Her physical description only seem to exist in words, rather than in images. She is said to have a tail, and all other features a human or animal has like a neck, lips, mouth etc. My personal opinion; not every culture would make an image of the primal gods or goddess, probably because they saw them as being much greater than a human or anything a human can preserve.

Nammu was the primal sea goddess of the Sumerian people, she is said to have given birth to the earth and heaven. She is thought to be the first Sumerian personification of the cosmos.

In ancient Egypt the primal sea god was known as Nun, he would hold up the boat with other gods. I think the illustrations of Nun, make it look as if he is holding the earth up in the celestial abyss. Like Tiamat and Nammu he was a god of the old creation myths, in Egypt Nun had no temple like the other gods, I suspect it is because of their nature being nothing like what we can even imagine.

Even in the old Viking age did they know about the sea creature, and I would bet you that this is where the whale hunting thing descends from. He is known as Jörmungandr(Midgard Serpent), He was one of Loki's children. It is said that he was thrown into the ocean, and there the serpent like creature grew so big, that its body could surround the earth and bite his own tail.

Oannes, I am not sure this god should be mentioned in this post. This was the ancient god which the Sumerian said thought them many advanced things. He would raise from the sea and use the day teaching them how to become a better civilization, and at night he would return to the deep sea.

This was just a short study into the constellation Cetus's surroundings, it seems like an ancestor in every sense of the word, yet for me it also seems futuristic.

I also found something else, which I find most interesting. A link from this creature to an ancient city of Egypt. I will write some of what I have found about this topic on my Egypt Blog

Cetus the Constellation

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:09:00 +0000

Cetus the Great creature of the Sea

This beautiful creature is more known as a monster like thing, than what it really is, namely a unknown giant, a power force of the sea. When we don't know something (or someone) we as humans, tend to begin speculating, often letting our imagination get in the way and colorizing the picture a little bit. This is probably also what happened with the mythology behind Cetus, who very often became the villain of the old Greek history.

In our modern days we have come to know Cetus as the whale, the giant of the sea. In ancient Greek mythology, the story about Cetus is entangled with the story of Andromeda and Perseus, two other constellations.

The more modern version of this myth is illustrated in many books, such as Greek Gods and Heroes by Leo Hjortsø and Gods and heroes in the old Greece by David Bellingham.
Very short: Andromeda was punished for her mothers sins, and she was chained to a cliff where she was supposed to be eaten by the great sea monster Cetus (also known as Ketos).
As I have said in earlier post's the ancient Greek mythology is entangled in, should we say elevating ways.

From a Book from 1888 (Old Greek/German manuscripts with ancient Greek mythology).
Fare, fare away over the mountains, Perseus flew. Finally he reached the land of Ethiopian. There he saw a beautiful girl, so beautiful that he had never seen an equal. She was chained to a cliff in the ocean, and around her stood men and women, crying and complaining about the girl and the ocean.
Perseus flew from heaven down to earth and asked, what would happen to her? "The girl is called Andromeda" a man said; "She is the daughter of the Ethiopian king Cepheus and his wife, the beautiful Cassiopeia. The mother praised herself an her daughters as the most beautiful, even more beautiful than the sea gods Nereus daughters. The sea god Nereus became so angered by what she said, that he has sent forth a sea monster, that each day raises from the sea, and eats as many people as it can. Nereus commanded that Andromeda be offered to the Sea monster."

Perseus was intrigued by what he was told, and his empathy made him offer to slay the sea monster, if the king would let him marriage his daughter. Cepheus gladly accepted. Perseus eagerly fought the sea monster, and it would not take long before Perseus was confronted by a splashing and aggressive wares, the whale was coming at him with its mouth wide open. Perseus delivered many blows with his sword, but the monsters skin could not be penetrated, and Perseus could feel he was getting tired to quickly. Suddenly he remembered that he had the head of Medusa. He quickly took the head and the sea monster looked into Medusa's eyes and it was turned to stone.

What happens next is more about the promises made between the king and Perseus, but the story for Cetus ends here.

It is thought that this story comes from a poem written in the 6 century B.C.

Waxing Moon in ancient Egypt

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:49:00 +0000

From the past to the present, we have always known of our lovely Selena (Moon) and her passing over our heaven. With her, all female creatures obeys a hidden secret of our universe, they are key holders of the universal life, yet without knowing it. As the Lovely Selena she is our Moon and she bears the marks of our emotions, all of the Lords creatures moves to her beat, even the tremendous ocean, draws closer and creates our tides, to the beat of Selena's heart. She is a true daughter of her father the Lord, and her light is of the heavenly lights.

I took the picture above, on my last trip to Egypt. I would personally call these engravings of the ancient Greeks, the most beautiful of them all (in Egypt).

The decorations of Gods and Goddess are still as beautiful as the day that they were created.

I was drawn to the Image of the Eye, my first thoughts were, that it looked a lot like the small mirrors of ancient Egypt (On the above picture you see the close-up of the eye, and the glow around the object, shows you the shape of the small mirror).

It fits pretty well to the Moon, in that these mirrors were most often used by the ladies, and the mirror is kind of magical reflecting one self.

Actually mirrors have often been used in ancient sacred rituals, as a bowl of water also would be.

You can see Thoth praising the Eye, which is part of the Egyptian mythology, which the Greeks chose to re-create.

Astrological Data about Pisces

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:18:00 +0000

This is a short post about the normal astrological fact surrounding the zodiac sign Pisces.

Caelestis Aeternus eternus
Latin: It says, The universial Lord is Everlasting / ertainel

Weekday: Thursday.
Element: Water.
Polarity: Negative.
Planet Ruler: Neptune (traditionally, Jupiter).
House: 12.

This sign is seen as the last stage of the archetypal evolution. This last stage, is also the hardest to understand, because here we do not serve any social group, but instead we serve the universe itself, and that which drives it. Through this sign all other signs surrender to that which is higher. But only few ever do this.

Character:
Pisces has a slight tendency to hide their true selves, this is because the planet ruler is Neptune, which is the mystical, the secretive, even irrational, imaginative. They might become a real mystery for their surroundings, some might even think that some Pisces live in their own world.

Pisces is actually the most sensitive sign in the zodiac circle, they have tremendous empathy capability. They often use their intuitions in service of others, without expecting anything in return. Pisces sometimes has to retreat from others, to rebuild their energy and strength. Their partners often misunderstand this, believing that the Pisces is looking for new adventures, which is fare from the truth, as they are very loyal by nature.

People with Pisces as their Sun sign, are often very delightful people and have a great sense of humour, with a curtain charm to their nature. They are not usually driven by materialistic desirers, something in them makes them feel like they should search for their true inner self (which we all should do). They might struggle a little bit with this, because it means giving up all materialistic needs, which is probably mankind's greatest obstacle.

They might not know this, but their very sensitive nature can be a basic for their artistically and creative abilities. This is because Neptune is the ruler, and with it, all levels of imagination comes too.

It is important to understand that Pisces is the ending of the Zodiac circle, thus also making this zodiac sign a part of the new beginning.

Love:
Pisces relationship to love is devoting, romantic, and sentimental. But even thou they are wonderful lovers and loyal towards their partners, they might also be afraid of committing to a relationship.

If you have planets placed in the Pisces sign in your horoscope chart, then you will feel the empathy of the planets, rather than feeling the forcefulness of the planets themselves.

Neptune and Pisces belongs to the ego transcending and ultimate union with the universe higher existence. But with this level of empathy and imagination, they can easily be lure into a dream world, hereby weakening the hold on reality - the Moon is the most vulnerable in this area.

Mars in Pisces looses a lot of its power and becomes more passive in its nature.

In the Catholic religion we also find that each Zodiac sign/house, is ruled over by an angel. In the case of Pisces, it is the

Angel Barchiel that governs. Barchiel is one of the seven archangels, his name means The blessings of God.
Actually he has many names, one rather interesting if you ask me. He is also known under the name Baraqiel, but he was one of the Fallen angels, and his name means Lightning of God.

I had a rather interesting thought about this, maybe it is like the gods and goddess of ancient Egypt (these could also be called angels).

The ancient people believed that their angels/gods/goddess were two sided creatures, meaning that they could either be destructive or show compassion. I think it might be the same in the old bible text, you have them possessing two natures/sides, probably depending on which assignment the Lord has them on.

So much more could be written about this Zodiac sign.

Jupiter, digital image

Digital Image of the planet Jupiter.I do a lot of research so sometimes I need to detach my mind from the more analytical thoughts, and this is were I use my creativity, and create something. In this instance I was practicing digital imagining, and choose to create the planet Jupiter.

What do you think?

Jupiter from Luxor City (Egypt)

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 03:16:00 +0000

In October 2009, my parents and I visited Luxor city in Egypt. One day my mother came across a small advertisement, which she knew would be something for me. She showed me the advertisement, which was about watching the stars and planets from outside Luxor.
We had to experience that!
We drove in a mini bus with other people from other hotels, everyone coming together in one mindset, with one idea in their heads, watching the stars - gazing into the universe. The further away that we drove from the city lights, the more visible the brilliant stars became. We arrived in the middle of nowhere, some kilometers from Luxor city. The only lights that were visible were the many millions from the night heaven, and no words could ever come close to describing the wonders that were visible. I stood in awe, I did not need the telescope. I had never seen it as clearly as I did this night, the emotions inside me were boiling of passion, lust to know more, to reach beyond the possible. My eyes fixed in on so many points, like my mind was scanning the heaven. We almost stood right under the Milky Way.
Two telescopes were placed besides each other pointing in different directions. I was hoping that the speakers knew enough about ancient Egypt, so they would use their mythology to explain. But they didn't. It was the typically Greek mythology, which is fine if you haven't heard it a million times before.

Did my eyes deceive me?
Or was I really starring into this galaxy
I became much lesser than an ant
Like I had never been
The thought expanded and became many
A voice whispered from the past into the future
I just heard it while it was on its way, it said
Time does not exist.
Some call it a passage, some call it a divider
But it is neither
This be the greatest mystery

I know this now: If there were no stars, then I wouldn't be able to dream.

New Year 2010

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 02:39:00 +0000

Quick Data list.

And a beautiful New Year it was. But it was even more special than normal, because the Moon was full in Cancer, and it was a 'blue moon' as it is called.
Blue moon:
Normally our year calendar has 12 full moons in it, one each month, but sometimes we get two full moons in one month, where the second one is called a Blue moon. There are many stories linked to the 'blue Moon' some more fable than others, you will probably also find some folklore about this event.
But indeed it is a special event on a specific night.

Full Moon in Cancer:
It is said that the moon was full in the zodiac sign known as Cancer (but this depends on how you calculate and more, but I will keep to this sign in this post).
In Mundane astrology: Here we find that the Moon stands for: the population, the mood of the people, national security issues, women's issues. And Cancer stands for: agriculture, opposition in parliament, Land, housing.

In ancient Egypt, such an event would have caught the pharaoh's attention. They did not celebrate New Year on the 31 December but rather in the summer months, where Sirius rose from the dark. But they would have seen a full blue moon on the New Year day as something special.

Personal note:
A great start for a new year! Even more interesting is the fact that some people are speaking about the ‘Grand cross’ that will occur here in the summer of 2010, where we will see the planet Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter and Saturn and Mars at 0-3º Capricorn, Aries and Libra, while inner planets transit at 0-3º Cancer. It might just be that we are in for an enlightening year.

How to destroy the world - Rubbish

Think about it...

Milky Way is above me

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 10:22:00 +0000

As above so Below
Night 31.07.2009 Right now, the Milky Way is over my head, thousands of stars are playing out their roles of creation.
Science would like to capture the knowledge of the most extravagant fantasy, which we've ever seen - aren't going to happen.
Last night I stood in wonder beneath a clear night sky, since I do not own a telescope (but is a dream of mine), I use my eyes. I must admit, I can see pretty well without a telescope. As I gazed upwards, my eyes quickly saw the magnificent constellation called 'Cassiopeia' she forms a 'W'.

Cassiopeia is known from ancient days, like each of the constellation are.
She was queen of Ethiopia and wife to the king Cepheus, together they would have a daughter called Andromeda.
The mythology surrounding Cassiopeia and her daughter Andromeda are numerous in numbers, and shed light upon other constellations. Cassiopeia was known as a woman, who bragged about her own beauty, even stating that she was more beautiful than the sea nymphs of the sea god Poseidon, who were called the Nereids. This one statement from her, made the sea nymphs angry and they sent a fears sea monster 'Cetus' [constellation] after the royal house of Ethiopia. The royal couple was given one way out of this, they had to give their daughter to the beast. Chained to a cliff, Andromeda waited for her fate to take hold of her. Suddenly a giant white horse with enormous wings, leaped towards her, from the clouds. The beautiful horse was Pegasus [constellation] upon Pengasus' back sat the brave Perseus [constellation], and in the neck of time, he rescued her from the beast. Perseus was able to defeat the beast, with the head of Medusas [a star]. In the moment that the beast saw into Medusas' eyes, it was turned into stone. I stood in awe, as my eyes set upon the area of the Supernova 1572 (A).
Look into the Supernova with the Hubble telescope, just click here, and open your mind.

Constellations of ancient Egypt

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:54:00 +0000

In the last post I talked about the border line between two very old empires, I probably left you a bit 'hanging' in regards, to… so much more... :) well this is because it is not possible for anyone to explain something in short, especially not at the levels of how the ancient Egyptian worked.

There is clear evidence that the constellations changed in ancient Egypt.

Constellations of ancient Egypt a picture from Sety I tomb:

Sety the First belongs to the 19 Dynasty, which were around 1200 B.C. He was not a king by blood (royal blood), but he indeed was a true king of his time.

This image portrays some of the constellation of ancient Egypt, and how they choose to see them. The harmony which one can see everywhere in their writing and images, seem to be less preferred when it comes to this part of the tomb. Their placement seems as important as the images themselves.

I completely understand why some descendants thought this to be a devils work, especially considering how the creatures look. But to understand the ancient Egyptian mindset, one has to open up for more possibilities than we have in this so-called modern time.

The concept of the 'devil' descends from many older cultures too, just with other names and attributes. But I find the ancient Egyptians truly understood these concepts to their fullest, and understood how to depict it in a harmonious way (the story of Seth and Horus portrays their understanding of 'evil,' whom was never 'just' evil - a person fallen for his own personal inner demon, in the choices they made.)

No one can claim that they truly understand the Egyptian gods, even less can be said about their 'star-gods.' But they left us their thoughts and words, as the Greeks probably would call 'The holy writing from the heavens.' The Picture above is actually a mythological story about these 'star-gods'.

It is believed that it is the battle of Seth and Horus, these images seems portrayed different in tombs. Some of these creatures (images) have been identified with our modern constellation chart. These stars are called the circumpolar stars (In ancient Egypt they were known under the name 'Khemiu-seku'), which is probably another word for 'fixed' as they did not rise or set, in the time of the Dendera temple.

On these ceiling images we probably find different mythological stories, because of their different looks. I think that the man, that has his fist raised towards the crocodile's nose, is a star-form of Sety I (in this case), he is helping Horus in the journey across the night sky.

In the man's other hand, we see his hand raised and a Bull is standing upon an odd looking 'plate'. This is actually interesting if you ask me. Because Sety I was known for is love of hunting Bulls, in the Temple at Abydos, is one of the only existing images of Sety I teaching his son Ramesses II how to catch the Bulls.

This was also a form of exam for the boy, in that this would show Ramesses II strength, if manhood was upon him. This image above could be indicating his ‘triumph’ over the Bull, fitting perfectly into their stories about the constellations.

"On many inscriptions the constellation which, as I have stated, represent the hippopotamus, is really represented as a crocodile, or as a crocodile resting on the shoulders of a hippopotamus, so that there is no doubt that the crocodile and the hippopotamus were variants; and we can quite understand, further, that the hippopotamus must have been brought into Egypt by a tribe with that totem, who must have come from a very long way up the Nile, since the hippopotamus was never indigenous in the lower reaches of the river; so that we have in the myth to do with a hippopotamus-worshipping tribe, which, for that reason, probably came from a region very far to the south."

From J. Norman Lockyer (1836-1920)

In the area more south of Aswan, the crocodiles were sacred animals, even being mummified.

Ancient Egyptian Astrology

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:54:00 +0000

Astrology in Ancient Egypt

I started this blog out by describing each constellation, somewhat through the Macedonian's (Greeks) point of view.

Their legends and myths change through each century and their rulers, and other factors.
- Now why did I go about it in this way, if I wanted to describe the ancient Egyptians point of view?

Simply because between these two Empires lies a truth, a distinct border between the 'old ways' and the new so-called 'modernized people', which we all descend from, as we also descend from the older ones of the 'older ways.'

Ancient Egypt could probably be called the last great civilization from the more ancient world. And through this great society, we have their surviving documents and monuments, which teach us much from a 'lost past.'

One thing which depicts the ‘border-line’ between the very ancient ones and the new world was the most basic to our nature, namely the writing systems, which became more like the Greeks.

But surely it must be the zodiac representation that is the defining border between them. For the Greeks changed this to the circle and inside they placed the symbols of the constellations. Where as the ancient Egyptians portrayed it in lines, just as they normally wrote. In those most ancient of days, all knew about the setting of the sun and the coming of the stars and the Lovely Moon, and much more.

I state that I believe that it is from the ancient Egyptians that the Greeks came to create their stories and legends about the constellation. Because in ancient Egypt they already had stories about the stars, they even gave them colors.

Upon the walls of their toms can be found; the names of the stars as just being a small part of their great understanding of both life and death. But there has not been found a star chart like we see in later Greek history, a circular one.

Other ancient cultures do have circular forms just like the Greeks came to have, but Egyptians wrote it different.

They also have the 36 Decans in boats, and the heaven of Nut. The only place so fare known, where we find something from ancient Egypt, which look a little bit like the circular star chart from the Greeks time period, is in the Valley of the Kings.

One section of the tomb, gives illustrations which match the modern chart, which was to come later on.

This border gives clear evidence, that something major was happening behind the scenes in the days of Alexandria the great and his descendants.

The way that people 'saw' our universe was slowly changed, and subjects became separated, just as you see in the topic of Astrology vs. Astronomy - two sides of one coin. The creative force meets the scientific mind.

Astrology in Religion

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:37:00 +0000

What Does Religion Say about Astrology?

The question is what is the view of astrology from a religious point of view? -
First off, very different, individual.

But it is truly a mistake to think that ‘The Lord’ strikes down upon astrologers for their passion of this field.

Actually most religions mentions the stars in some sort of way, they are guides, givers, and takers, they can strike down, or be like a miracle.

Many religions have it termed as a devils’ work (one article I am writing is actually about this, and how one version of these religions go).

But it has never been the devils work, rather you should see the term astrology in a completely new way; It is a substance to our humane race, a place where thoughts/creativity and the scientific mind can meet, either through the planets existence or through the symbols we write.

The best way to understand religious thoughts and astrology if you ask me would be through the ancient Egyptians. One statement, which have existed even to this day, but is originally from Ancient Egyptians belief is; “I am the morning Star, I am the evening star” Many people should recognize these words from somewhere, and they are over 2000 years old.

I personally state, that religions were born from the stars, in one way or the other.
I love all beings upon this earth, so I find it ignorant to state any religion as ‘one sole truth’ for they are all some part of mankind’s history (it would also be disrespecting religions if I state one was more correct than the other, I find them all as being a part of man, and yet so much have been added out or written into the books, and it is easy to see).

It was through the knowledge of Astrology/astronomy that the three wise men were able to find Jesus.

Psalms 104:19: The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.

In Psalms 147:3-4 : God heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of stars and calls them each by name.

Luke 21:25 : At the end of this Age there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars…the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

From the Book of Job Chapter 38: http://www.drbo.org/book/20.htm
The Book of Job is part of the Hebrew bible:

31 Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?

32 Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth?

33 Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee?

35 Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee: Here we are?

I have a direct translation of the Dead Sea scrolls, and here some of what they said
(Wrote down about this subject): ‘Horoscopes’ or Astrological Physiognomies (4Q186): II… and his thighs are long and lean, and his toes are thin and long. He is of the second Column. His spirit consists of six (parts) in the House of Light and three in the Pit of Darkness. And this is his birthday on which he(is to be/was?) born: in the foot of the Bull. He will be meek. And his animal is the Bull.

THE QURAN
The Chapter called “The Star” Is yet another example, but it must be understood, that each interprets the books individually. Many Muslims see astrology and astronomy as the devils work – Ye must not predict for this is only for the most holy Lord. I hope they only view the predicting-astrology as the Devils work, because if we did not notice the heavens, many things would go even more astray in our world today.
I will only bring you some paragraphs of the Quran’s chapter ‘the Star’

44. That it is He Who granteth Death and Life;

45. That he did create in pairs, male and female,

46. From a seed when lodged (in its place);

47. That He hath promised a second Creation (raising of the Dead)

48. That it is He Who giveth wealth and satisfaction;

49. That He is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty Star).

In Religions, the Lord is much more than the stars, They abide to He. Let me give you a piece of Ancient Egyptian astrology;
First off back over 2000 years ago, they had astrologers, which their called ‘horoscopist’ But I do not find any real evidence that they used it like we do today, in the more individual way. They also had the Zodiac, and many other stars and constellations.

Personally I am like Socrates, who was standing in front of death and said; I shall drink for the Sun and for the Moon, for they have always been here with us, they never fail their path.

Native American Astrology

The Native Americans are the people that have always lived in what is now known as America, both the North and the South. They a like the Berber’s that I descend from a tribal people, that still practice the ancient ways of thinking. Actually their ‘Astrological symbol’ is their Totem (look into totem polls), it was also an identification mark for each clan (each tribal group). In these astrological charts, I would be classified as being a Crow, an animal of the Wind/air.

The last time that Pluto stood in the sign Capricorn is over 200 years ago, to be more specific in the year 1760 until 1778 (some say 1762). Actually 1760 was a leap year, but also a year of many events. The King of Great Britain and Ireland, George II, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg(Hanover) and Archtreasurer and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, had a hard century. His relationship with his father had been filled with hardship and unhappiness, and it was replaced with his own sons’ resentment towards him. Towards his later life something rather interesting happened. In the year 1752 George II suddenly wanted to change the calendar. They were using the Julian Calendar, but changed it to the modern Gregorian Calendar, I would personally say; that he had a very interesting statue made in the year 1753, he probably stood model for the statue in that year. Statue of George II in Golden Square, Soho, London. By John Nost the elder, this was erected in 1753, but had actually been made 33 years previously for the Duke of Chandos. - From wikipedia. The Julian Calendar: The Julian calendar remained in use into the 20th century in some countries as a national calendar, but it has generally been replaced by the modern Gregorian calendar. It is still used by the Berber people of North Africa, on Mount Athos and by many national Orthodox churches. Orthodox Churches no longer using the Julian calendar typically use the Revised Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Calendar In 1760 George II suddenly died.

The Astrolabe

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:11:00 +0000

Is an astronomical device that was used in ancient days. It is of Arabic nature, they were great sailors, and with this device and others, they could navigate night and day. Who is the person that invented such a device, seems as unknown as the uses of device in itself. We are now in the age of copper lines of information being pumped into us from each direction. Small wire thingies mixed with satellites, and here we go. Most people use the computer for calculating a horoscope chart in our time, but there are still people that make them by hand – the good old way. But the astrolabe is truly a fascinating object, embedded with such lovely math, numbers floating in circles. The earliest mentioning of the astrolabe is said to be in the 12 century. It is not obvious that this device just came into being in the 12 century, merely because the Arabic people had been sailing much before the 12 century. It is of such complex nature, that it must be much older than that. We probably just haven’t found one before the 12 century, but maybe this is how we ‘look’ at it. An astrolabe is a device used for astronomy/astrology, so it would seem that the ancient Egyptians and other cultures would have had such a device for their star calculations. But there device might have looked different, for they knew about advanced math. Also mentioned short in this post: http://historyofastrology.blogspot.com/2007/09/constellation-of-scorpion.html

35,000 Year old Star Map From Germany

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 23:19:00 +0000

Amazing 35.000 Year old Star Map Found!

Where does the knowledge of astronomy and astrology descend from?

How is it that no one ever forgot about Orion and His belt, yet we forgot how?

Still I can pin point his belt, and the satellites today give us even more information about this great place.

But who taught us?

How did we suddenly know and understand the conception of space and time?

In 1979 Dr Michael Rappenglueck was in a project in the Ach Valley in the Alb-Danube region of Germany, where they found an Ivory tablet with something upon it.

There was also found bone ashes and other deposits next to the Ivory tablet, which were taken samples of.

From http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk

The samples revealed a huge surprise, they were dated to be between

32.500 and 38.000 years old!

One side clearly represented a man, both of his arms are lifted, and one of his legs was also lifted a little bit. This would mean that this was the oldest representation of a man, ever found.

The other side was filled with small dots, it is thought that these ‘dots’ was a primitive sort of birth calendar Its measurements are even more baffling, being only 38 x 14 x 4 millimeters.

It is believed that is was made in that size, and was not a pieces of a larger tablet, otherwise called a fragment.

Read the whole story at BBC NEWS - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2679675.stm

It is believed that this tablet belonged to the Aurignacian People, an ancient native tribe located in Europe and southwest Asia.

Another fine object made by these people, was named ‘The Lion Man’

The Astrological Ages

The Twelve ages of the Zodiac

Have you ever heard of the Astrological Ages of Mankind? Other call it the Twelve Ages of the Zodiac.

Updated: 02.april.2015

The modern thoughts and theories behind the concept of an astrological age has lost its connection to the ancient spiritual side of creation itself. There are many reasons as to why it became 'lost' in fact it is not lost, just not recognized as it once was.

Many especially religious devoted people in history have used their secret knowledge about the stars and constellations to lead people astray. Which is also why they lost their true spiritual connection to their ancestors along the way.

What age…
Aquarius? Huh-ah! Time to get going!

Many experts on the topic of astrology agree that we are about to entered the Age of Aquarius, or that it is in the near future.

Then there are others that have other theories, such as, that this age was more than four centuries ago.

The ages of the zodiac is based upon the phenomenon known as the Precession of the equinoxes.

The Precession of the equinoxes is the rotations of the earth, but also its rotation in its orbit space.

Karima Lachtane Let’s see if we can break it down even more: It is said that the earths ‘wobbling’ (and more) are following a cycle of around 25,765 years (others say 25,920 years), said in other words, it takes the equinox around 25,765 years to complete its cycle, also known as the ‘time-length’ of the Astrological age.

The Danish Book ‘Astrological handbook’ by the great Danish author Paul Mahler Dam, explains this in a much easier way, which I here will show in short.
The number 25,920 are much easier to work with, to make the point a little bit clearer. An Astronomical age is the total of approximately 25,920 years, and in this time period each Zodiac’ sign enters through it.

Dividing 25,920 years with 12 gives = 2,160 years. So one Zodiac signs ‘age- length’ is set at around 2,160 years. This means that the Age of Aquarius is around 2,160 years, and so are the other ages.

This theory fits pretty well to the fact of Jesus birth and the Egyptian symbols of the Bull/Apis and the Ram/A form of Amun (Amon – Lord of the two horns).

From the Danish ‘Astrological handbook’

Pisces Astrological year – 25.599 B.C

Aquarius Astrological year – 23.439 B.C

Capricorns Astrological year – 21.279 B.C

Sagittarius’ Astrological year – 19.119 B.C

Scorpions Astrological year – 16.959 B.C

Libra’s Astrological year – 14.799 B.C

Virgo’s Astrological year – 12.639 B.C

Leo’s Astrological year – 10.479 B.C

Some of my thoughts: (Some believe that the Sphinx might date back to around 10.500 B.C. They base the idea upon the cracks in the Sphinx ((probably more before it was restored in our modern days)), the cracks are evidence for a high rain period ((rain erosion)).

Other fact in history might even be of further evidence for this. Because there was ((and still can come every 500 years or more)) a rain flood like no one has seen before.

If the Nile in the meantime also rose because of the forces of the Sea, then you would have something like a Flood.

Not only that, in older record books they speak about an inland island in North Africa, so the possibilities are indeed there).

Cancer’s Astrological year – 8.319 B.C

Gemini’s Astrological year – 6.159 B.C

Taurus’ Astrological year – 3.999 B.C

Aries’ Astrological year – 1.839 B.C

Pisces’ Astrological year – 321 A.D

Aquarius Astrological year – 2.481 A.D

Native American myth: ‘The White Buffalo Woman’ Lakota, or Sioux
While I was informing myself about this astrological concept, I fell upon a Native American myth which is considered astrological in some sense, in Natures Four directions. SHORT:

The Lakota, a Native American people, also describe that a great spiritual Teacher, called White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, is coming with the purpose to unite the material and spiritual worlds.

Their legend mentions that in a far past, possibly in the beginning of the Age of Aries, a Teacher had come to initiate them into the "Pipe Ceremony"; the same story mentions that this Teacher is returning again due to specific signs related to their tradition, among them the fact that white buffalo calves are born again.[41] From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_age

After four days the scouts posted to watch for the holy woman saw something coming towards them in a beautiful manner from across the prairie. Then suddenly the woman was in the great lodge, walking round it in a sunwise direction.

She stopped before Standing Hollow Horn in the west of the lodge, and held her bundle before him in both hands. ‘Look on this,’ she said, ‘and always love and respect it.

No one who is impure should ever touch this bundle, for it contains the sacred pipe.’ She unrolled the skin bundle and took out a pipe, and a small round stone which she put down on the ground.

I am personally not sure how to view this topic, because of the mere rotations in our planet (and other planets) which keeps changing in minute ways. And another point I tend to be drawn to, is the fact that NOTHING is more powerful than the human mind!

And then there are the topic of the old astrology signs, where some are not the same, others have been combined with others and so on.

Further more I have found some evidence about some other constellations which I have heard No One speak of yet, so I think there is much needed before we can talk about this.

The only thing we can conclude is that everything is indeed connected to the smallest of details. And then we can study the history gone by to the best of our ability, and just maybe begin to be kinder towards our own BIG race (of a billion rainbow colors – Hey, just a thought; Colors does not exist, so why can’t we all act color-blind? –In the good sense).

Apollo 11 The Eagle that once flew

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:44:00 +0000

I choose to believe. This article contains some well known public information about NASA' Apollo space missions, but also my own thoughts besides this. I have also taken other thoughts into account, to keep things as neutral as one who already has chosen, can be ;) [NOTE: I know how there are many people that believe that it was/is a big Hoax. To this I can only say; I do not know, if or if not. I will let this be to the experts who had and have control over the projects. If everything indeed is a hoax, then mankind has punched itself in the face, which we seem to be doing more often… I can only say this; I choose to believe. In the end, everything becomes a choice, and so do I choose. I could not go on writing this, without giving the other side some credibility to their beliefs and thoughts, and I do find them interesting, others I find a bit obscure. No matter what, the whole earth should be coming together in a total humane way, for us to survive our own needs and lusts. I am interested in so many subjects, that make me conclude pretty quickly, that we don’t stand a great chance here on earth if everyone still wants to keep their mobiles running. For example, they say if we make the fuel on the corn (harvesting the corn-productions for creating fuel for silly cars) then we have a much better chance. – Now who was the Freaking idiot that said that? Well here is the fact about “Food-Fuel” : Since many countries have begun producing this, more and more people are dying of hunger. The west is now being more of a direct impact upon other people’, hunger and more. Because of, everything that has already happen, or rather what we always have neglected to do, so will there be a reaction, the common law of cause and affect and so on. I would say lets get moving at least on some levels other than guns and missiles. This is the only reason that I miss Kennedy, he believed in the possibilities of all mankind. Normally I would have deleted half of what I am writing (/Think) here, because I know how ‘of-topic’ some might think it is, but there I ask, “Is it really of-topic?”] Sorry about this, back to the topic. MISSION PROFILE: The mission began like all ideas begin, with the idea. Somehow these unique scientists were able to make their ideas into a reality, which no matter how one looks at it, has created so many exciting materials, which are used all over the world for many different things. Three courage’s men were picked to execute the mission; Neil A. Armstrong (2) - Commander Michael Collins (2) - Command Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. (2) - Lunar Module Pilot It was the Saturn Five (the Moon Rocket) that would give way to the American Eagle (the name of the Luna module). The command module was named Columbia, these spacecrafts were together called the Apollo spacecraft. Apollo 11 was lunched from the Kennedy Space center at 9:32 a.m. local time on July 16, 1969. Saturn Five gave such power that only 18 minutes after take off it was in orbit, only 30 minutes after entering orbit, they detached themselves from the last Saturn Five stage, to make a 180 degree turn to dock with the Luna Module. On the 19 July the Apollo 11 went behind the Moon, and entered the lunar orbit. The next day the Lunar module (Eagle) detached from the command module so the decent could begin. Even thou they missed the landing target by miles, and alarms were blinking, they still made it safely. Probably because Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Aldrin noticed that the computer was taking them in to even more rough terrain, so he ‘helped’ (probably re-entering some data into the com’) the computer to a more proper landing site. Apollo 11 landed on the Moons surface at 20:17 UTC on July 20 1969 with only 25 seconds of fuel left. We learn how to walk again…

The StarDust Mission

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:59:00 +0000

MISSION: To collect dust and carbon-based samples during its closest encounter with Comet Wild 2.

In 1999 NASA launched a Discovery Mission called ‘Stardust’, the main purpose of this mission was to come into contact with the coma of a comet [Wild 2], which it did in January 2004.

Under the contact with the comet the spacecraft collected particles with the use of a most strange material called [Aerogel]. The spacecraft returned to Earth/Utah United states on January 15, 2006.

“Phase 1” Begins

Back in the beginning of 2006 I was watching CNN one night, and what a ‘right’ night to be watching.

There was a man speaking about a new NASA project, which would be open to everyone who had an internet connection, in the world.

The project would start some time after, so I noted the start-date down, and stayed tuned. The project began a couple of months later, and I added myself as a member on the first day.

I loved it right from the start, I find it both fascinating and inspiring in its own way. But this kind of research is not for everyone, because it takes patience’s, eye for details, eagerness, and some mouse-clicking ;)

“Phase 2” is up and Running

Now we’ve come to the year 2008 and ‘Phase 2’ is in motion, which started around August 2007, almost a year after “Phase 1” had begun.

They have finished 40 % of the scanning process at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where after these specimens were sent to Stardust@home headquarters in Berkeley, they then turned these into small scannable movies, for us Dusters to study.

-Altogether, 24,000 dusters have so far searched about 40 million(!) movies for interstellar dust grains, meaning that each Stardust@home movie has been viewed more than one hundred times on average.

The Dusters have already identified 50 different places in the Aerogel, which might contain actual interstellar dust particles.

The Decans - The planets and Stars

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:42:00 +0000

The ancient Egyptians believed in the Sun, or rather the movement of the Sun and other planets such as our famous Sirius. But they recognized more planets than that. actually they recognized the exact same essential planets which we so often use in our modern astrology readings.

Some Basic about ancient Egyptians: They also divided the days hours much like we still do - 24 hours a day.

RA - The Sun is the Day, and there are 12 light hours of the day.

SETH - The Moon is the night, and there are 12 night/dark hours of the day.

The Decans are the stars that are bound by the five(5) gods birthdays, and together they create the 365 days a year.

One week is made up by 10 days, making a year; 36 x 10 = 360 days; Then the ancient celebrated 5 Gods birthdays, by giving them a day each; which makes; 36 decans x 10 days + 5 days = 365 days a year.

The Decans
The Decans could be seen as 36 weekly stars that the ancient would take notice of. The famous Sirius is the ‘Queen of the Decans’ and she marked the beginning of a new year.

The planets were called ‘The stars that know no rest’ and referred to the five planets;

Mercury – the star of Seth/or a form of Seth.
Venus – star of the morning/ the one who crosses’ or ‘God of the morning’.
Mars – Horus the red/ Horus of the horizon.
Jupiter – Traveling star/ Horus who limits the two lands/ Horus star of the South.
Saturn – Horus the bull/ Bull of the heavens.

The Constellation of TAURUS Video

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:23:00 +0000

I made this clip two days ago, to illustrate some of the beautiful elements of this constellation. Then today I was standing in a back garden some where here in the North, I could see Taurus’ very clear. So clear that I could see (eyes only) the stars inside the shoulder and besides/behind Taurus Red Eye. Aldebaran is the brightest star to be found in the constellation of Taurus, also known as the Bull’s eye. Aldebaran (al-dabarān) is the Arabic word for ‘The Follower’, because from Earth it looks like this star is following the star cluster Pleiades.

The Constellation of VIRGO Video

noreply@blogger.com (WindBlowerTM) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:28:00 +0000

Virgo contains more than 13.000 galaxies,
which are quit interesting in them selves. The red circle shows us just one of the galaxies that are located
inside the Virgo constellation. M104 also known as The Sombrero Galaxy, the name comes from its hat like look. Some people speculate that more might be going on inside this galaxy, because not only is it so bright, but it has been noticed that it also glows through X-rays, some connect this to that its center might be a black hole, but this is only speculations.
