Therefore, not only a Platonic year, but even one zodiacal age causes significant variations in the coordinates of the stars. That is why it makes no sense to consider either the stars, or the boundaries of the constellations for the reference points for such time intervals.

Hence, if some star is chosen to present the “ancient” Sidereal Zodiac's origin, in addition to the uncertain correction to an irregular precession and wobbling of the Ecliptic, we must take account of its proper motion. Who does this? In reality, the considered estimates for the Origin of such Zodiacs differ by dozens of degrees, and even in India, where it is widely used, these estimates differ by as much as a few degrees.

Besides, no consent exists neither with the subject of SiZ's sphere of influence (whether it is Earth, Solar System, or Galaxy), nor with the esoterical meaning of its origin. Moreover, the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° points of any Sidereal Zodiac DO NOT REFLECT CRITICAL POSITIONS OF THE SUN as the respective (by coordinate) TZ's cardinal points do!

Therefore it is not clear why we should give preference to some uncertain "fixed" point, if a series of actual factors of a physical, mathematical and esoterical natures provide evidence that the current orientation of the Earth does actually reflect the Solar and Space influence. For this reason any SiZ should actually be considered as nothing more than an Ecliptic coordinate system with an arbitrary origin.

By allowing for the Ancient esoterical, geometrical and astronomical considerations being overviewed in Supplement 1 we can conclude the following.

Resume 1.

1. The axes of the Tropical Zodiac are effectual from both physical and esoterical points of view: the Solstice line presents the Ecliptic projection of the Earth's axis of rotation, whereas the line of Equinoxes presents the intersection of the planes of Ecliptic and Equator. To this end the perfect cross  made of these lines, named the Terrestrial Cross, presents the exact replica of the Stauros , or the four-armed, or philosophical cross.

2. When the Terrestrial Cross is united with the engendering Ecliptic, the structure  of the TZ becomes the Astronomical cross  , or the Cross of the World, or, in other presentation – the Ankh, or Crux ansata  .

3. By allowing for the direction of rotation of these axes and taking account that they point to the four cardinal points, we obtain the Swastica  , or Decussated cross X.
4. By its direct construction, the TZ is reflected by the cross of double glyph   which is presented as the cross of the two equinoxes and the two solstices placed within the figure of the earth's path.

5. Last, but not least are the multiple references to the 0° Capricorn as the point of the Winter Solstice; this means that it was namely the Tropical Zodiac which was considered in the esoteric concepts, because the Sun passes the point 0° Capricorn at Winter Solstice just in the TZ: in any Sidereal Zodiac this point, 0° Capricorn, has nothing in common with this event ("dieing Sun" at the shortest day of the year) except once in 26 000 years.

3. The Solar System Zodiac, SZ , Geometry of Space Influence

As we may see this from a series of sound examples [1, Parts 1, 8], Space matter and objects exert their influence anisotropically, first of all - from definite directions and within definite planes. Within the Solar System, these are basically (i) the plane of Ecliptic , and (ii) its axis that passes through the North Pole of Ecliptic. For the Earth, the similar objects are: (iii) the plane of Equator  and (iv) the Earth’s axis of rotation,, that passes through the geographical North Pole (NP) being also the NP for the Equatorial coordinate system.
The axis  and the plane  define the basic elements of symmetry both for the Globe and for its Space shield - electromagnetic envelope and radiation layers. In particular, the Geomagnetic field directs the charged Space matter to the Poles (The relevance of the Poles in the Space-Earth interaction is supported by the Secret Doctrine [1, Part 6]).

Within the Solar System, the Earth and the other planets interact between themselves and the Sun in the plane of Ecliptic. At the same time, all these Heavenly objects experience the same influence, the Galactic Centre and other Galactic objects exert on them, e.g. from the Southern Pole of Ecliptic. From this point of view, the Solar System (SS) as a whole is called the Heliosphere. Hence, the plane of Ecliptic  and its axis also present the basic elements of symmetry for the Solar System through which the outer Space exerts its influence on the interior of the Heliosphere.

Though the basic interactions within the Solar System is realized in the plane of Ecliptic, the actuality of the Southern direction for the Solar System is also emphasized. As to the Earth, pay attention to its electromagnetic and gas/plasma envelopes and their foci - the Polar regions through which the radiation material (plasma) inflows and discharges, and the electrical nature of the basic interaction mechanism which is a topic for subsequent considerations. Researchers are now insisting more, and more, that the Earth's temperature increases are dependent upon, and directly linked to, space-terrestrial interactions; be it Earth-Sun, Earth-Solar System, and/or Earth-Interstellar.

It is known that electromagnetic interactions play a great part in the interaction of the heavenly bodies. At this, the Sun and comets exert their influence to the Earth through its magnetosphere, and the TZ, by its structure, reflects the mechanism of this interaction.

For example, an analysis [1, Part 8] of the growing discrepancy between the Earth's rotation and magnetic axes shows that (i) the TZ may work now in other ways than it did a few centuries ago, and (ii) the increasing discrepancy can cause instability effects in the Earth processes. (This situation might be likened to a positive feedback that is described by the rise in mechanical wobbling being caused by irregular wear or a broken rotating part: the more the wobble, the more the wear, and vice versa).

Therefore, the Equator and Ecliptic planes, as well as their axes, define the conjugate geometric elements that specify the channels through which the Space exerts its physical influence on the Earth, whereas the Ecliptic defines the plane where the physical interaction between the planets and Sun takes place. As far as these elements define the geometrical structure of the TZ, the line of Equinoxes being specified by the crossing of these planes becomes the focus of this structure, whereas the TZ’s Solstice line presents the projection of the Solar System axis.

Hence, the cardinal points of the Tropical Zodiac and the TZ itself are adjusted to the current orientation of the Globe (that makes them the natural reference points for the Earth) and present the objective “channels”, or most sensitive foci of perception, through which the Space and Solar System’s objects exert their physical influence on the Earth. Therefore, we may conclude that the analogous structure being adjusted to the Solar System peculiarities may describe the foci for the Solar System, which carry out the same function from both the physical and esoterical points of view.

The Concept of the SZ

The whole of the Universe is saturated with the principle of Hierarchy, both esoterically and physically: each system level presents a hierarchical system of being, and retains an element of the whole.

On the one hand, the Solar System presents a vital-mechanical organic entity where the Sun acts as the heart and brain of the Solar World, or Solar sphere [1, Part 6]. Within our hierarchical Solar sphere chain, which includes the Earth, the Heavenly bodies influence the terrestrial objects through the TZ (viz. the Earth’s Aura, or Earth's electromagnetic envelope), but in different ways: if the Solar sphere's objects act directly through the TZ, the energies from outside the Solar sphere are filtered or transformed through the Solar System envelopes, or Aura. The Aural Egg of the Solar System rotates around the axis of the Ecliptic like the Aural Egg of the Globe rotates around the Earth’s axis, whereas both of them revolve around their Hierarchs – the Galactic Centre and Sun, respectively.

On the other hand, the series of Examples [1, Part 8] shows that the geometry of physical interactions between the Galaxy and the Solar System, and between the latter one and the Earth follow the same structural model the elements of which present the foci of physical influence, where the same plane of Ecliptic presents the governing element for the system of the lower level (viz. Earth) and the internal element for the system of the upper level (viz. Galaxy).

Therefore, with respect to the Hermetic axiom, "as above, so below; as below, so above", we cannot exclude the existence of a Solar System Zodiac which carries out the "same" function from the perspective of the Sun, as the TZ does from the perspective of the Earth.

Solar System’s Position in the Galaxy

The general structure of the Galaxy is depicted in Fig. 5.a. It presents a flattened system being symmetrical relative to the basic plane called the Galactic Plane. Intersection of the latter one with the Celestial sphere gives the Galactic equator, which actually coincides with the mean line of the Milky Way.
The Galaxy rotates around its axis passing through the GalacticCenter (GC), the Galactic North Pole () of which is projected to the constellation Coma Berenices (Table S2.1).

The Galactic Centre is the rotational center of the Milky Way galaxy. When observed from the Solar System, it is projected to the constellation Sagittarius (Table S2.2).

In their average planes of revolution, being perpendicular to the axis of the Galaxy, the Sun and stars move around the GC so that at any moment the course of each object is perpendicular to the direction of the GC; this revolution is clockwise from the side of the . As to the Solar System, it completes its revolution around the GC in a Galactic Year which makes approximately 200 – 230 million Earth’s years.

Meanwhile, in its local galactic vicinity, the Sun moves (Fig. 5.b) towards the point on the Celestial sphere which is called the Solar apex; at present, it is projected to the constellation Hercules (Table S2.3).

The North Pole of Ecliptic  is projected to the constellation Draco; this point also moves along the Celestial sphere, but very slowly (Fig. 3). Though the plane of Ecliptic is defined by the Earth’s orbital plane, the orbital planes of the massive planets are inclined to the Ecliptic at a relatively small angle: approximately by 0 ° for Uranus and Neptune, 1.3 ° for Jupiter and only for Saturn it makes 2.5 ° . By analogy with the Galactic Equator this allows us to consider the Ecliptic as the Solar System’s Equator which defines the average plane of the Solar System.

The Structure of the Solar System’s Zodiac

Describe the structure of the Solar System’s Zodiac (SZ) by resemblance with the Tropical one (applicable to the Earth presenting the element of the Solar System) and with respect to the axiom "as above, so below; as below, so above" applied to the one level higher hierarchy – to the Solar System. In this case the basic SZ elements must relate to the Solar System as the TZ's ones – to the Earth.
Thus since the planets revolve around the Sun in approximately the plane of Sun-Earth Ecliptic , we take it for the plane of the Solar System’s Equator  and call its axis that of the Solar System. Since our Solar System moves in a circular movement around the Galactic Center, we regard the latter the direct Hierarch for the Solar System and take the plane of the Galactic Equator, in which our Solar System revolves around the Galactic Center, for the “Galactic Ecliptic” .
As in the case with the TZ, the intersection of the planes and  gives the straight line on the Ecliptic plane which defines the axis of  Equinoxes Z and Z’ for the SZ. Since the direction to the Galactic North Pole  is normal to the plane of the Galactic Ecliptic , its projection FF' (Galactic Solstice axis) to the plane of the Solar System Equator (viz. conventional Ecliptic)  is perpendicular to the line of intersection ZZ' (Galactic Equinox axis) of these planes and defines the Solstices F and F' for the SZ. It is clear that for the SZ the physical meaning of Equinoxes and Solstices is the same as for the TZ (Fig. 6.a).

As in the case with the TZ, the cardinal axes of the Solar Zodiac form a perfect cross, both on the plane of the Galactic Equator, and on the plane of Ecliptic; call it the Galactic Cross.
These are those planes and directions through which the Galaxy actually exerts its influence and through which this influence is redistributed:
- as the Sun at a cardinal point defines the start of the respective season of the Terrestrial year, so does the Galactic Centre when it comes to a cardinal point of the Solar Zodiac, but for the Solar System as a whole. Note, that now it is only 3° off SZ's Equinox Z (and the TZ's Winter Solstice as they coincide);
- the projection to the Ecliptic (viz. the Ecliptic longitude λ) of the significant points from the Celestial sphere presents, as the millennia of astrological experience acknowledge, almost the same significance as these points themselves, and therefore these projections are used.

XX-Correlation

As far as the velocity of the TZ’s precession is by several orders of magnitude greater than that for the SZ (over a Platonic year, the Earth’s axis makes a complete circle of 360°, whereas the  shifts by several degrees only), for the current age the cardinal points of the SZ may be considered immobile.

Since the cardinal points of the SZ are mutually orthogonal and precess synchronously along the Ecliptic with an average speed of 50' a year, we may unite the Galactic and Terrestrial Crosses into a single concept – XX-correlation. At some moment these two crosses coincide synchronously because each cardinal point of SZ is as distant from the nearest cardinal point of TZ (Fig. 6.a) as the point Z from 0 ° Capricorn..

Therefore, four times a Platonic year, viz. each 6500 years in average, the rotating Galactic Cross coincides with the Terrestrial Cross. Call this event the Great Celestial Conjunction (GCC); one of these events takes place at present; the point and interval estimates (Suppl. 2) for its epoch are as follows

  =  J1998.3475    or    May 7, 1998,                                                                 (1)
=  ±   = J1998.3 ± 19.5 ≈ { 1978.8 , 2017.8 },                       (2)
=   ± 2 X = J1998.3 ± 2 X 19.5 ≈ { 1959.3 , 2037.3 }.            (3)

Meanwhile, although the GCC takes place four times a Platonic year, the importance of the current event may probably be the largest since both the Galactic Centre (the "Sun" for our Solar System) and the Solar Apex longitudes, apart from a series of nebulae (Fig. 6.b) are allocated in the close vicinity of the cardinal point 0° Capricorn = 270° (Tables S2.2, S2.3) whereas the latter point of the TZ presents the "Birth of the Sun", or the origin of the Tropical year. For this reason it may be considered as the Origin of the Platonic year.

The SZ in Reference to TZ

Now, the principal question arises, whether it is the point Z or Z' that have to be taken for the Origin of the SZ. It is the northern hemisphere that provides dominant influence over the Earth [1, Parts 6, 8]. But the Sun's toroidal field and the Solar System as a whole might be likened to a flat circular aerial, which is tuned to both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. However, with respect to the Principle of Hierarchy, the Sun, as the heart and brain of the Solar System [1, Part 6], must first be oriented to its Hierarch, to the Galactic Centre. Since the Sun is located above the Galactic Equator, the Solar System is observed to be North from the GC, relative to the Galaxy's North Pole. Besides, physical observations show definite dominance of the Southern direction in the Space influence (See Example in [1, Part 8]).

This fact, as well as the concentration of the principally important objects (GC, Solar Apex. etc.) in the close vicinity of the SZ's Equinox point Z allows us to suppose that namely this Equinox point should be taken for the "Vernal" point, that is for the Origin of the SZ.

As the universal cycle, any Zodiac allows division by the different key numbers – 4 (elements), 12 (presenting the Signs as 30°-arcs), etc. However, as far as the number 12 presents a universal importance, we can divide (e.g. for convenience of comparison of these two Zodiacs) the SZ into a 12 signs as well. But whatever number of signs we use, or do not use, the SZ’s cardinal points remain orthogonal and retain their principal significance. For this reasons the correspondence between the cardinal points of the TZ and SZ remains correct, whatever SZ's division is used.

Last, but not least is the following. Relative to the point of observation in the Galaxy’s North Pole, the visible traffic direction of the Galactic Centre around the Sun along the Galactic Ecliptic ES is clockwise, while the visible traffic direction of our Sunaround any planet (in the same plane = ) is anticlockwise. Therefore, in the TZ and SZ the longitudes are incremented in the opposite directions.

In order to visualize (Fig. 7) the obtained correspondence between these two Zodiacs, consider the SZ's projection on the Ecliptic against the TZ for the current epoch which follows the GCC of (1).

Fig. 7. Tropical (internal ring) and Solar System (external ring) Zodiacs for J2006

The arrow at 0° Aries indicates the direction of actual precessional displacement of the TZ along the  SZ after the conjunction of their cardinal axes at the GCC (1). Note that the angle between the respective cardinal points of the TZ and SZ makes several minutes of arc for the current epoch: it is grossly exaggerated for illustrative purpose.

What Influence does the SZ Exert on the Earth?

The most intriguing thing in Fig. 7 is the symmetry in behaviour of the Origins; the First Point of Aries of the SZ (TZ) has completed its path through Sagittarius of TZ (SZ, Resp.) at the GCC (1) and started its travel through the Capricorn (!)

In compliance with the conventional astrological approach, coming of the point of Aries (TZ) to the cusp of a Zodiacal sign means starting of the Age named by this sign. Since the cardinal points of the SZ and TZ has coincided in May 1998 with respect to (1), or have to coincide in the current Era of GCC,  (2)  within the Age of Transformations  (3), we may conclude that transfer to a New Age is under way, but for what Age? The bringing of the SZ into correlation with the TZ (Fig. 7) shows, that the situation is much more surprising than coming to the Age of Aquarius; it rather forced us to submit the following three hypotheses.

Hypothesis SZ-1. The vernal points Aries (SZ) and Aries (TZ) are symmetrically completing their way through the Sagittarius signs (viz. Aries (SZ) through the TZ Sagittarius, and Aries (TZ) through the SZ Sagittarius). This brings us to the end of the Age of Sagittarius, not the Age of Pisces.

Hypothesis SZ-2. The forthcoming age is the Age of Capricorn, since the vernal points Aries (SZ) and Aries (TZ) are symmetrically approaching both the TZ and SZ Capricorn signs, and so, the transfer to the New Age is taking place now – with the coming of the new millennium!

Hypothesis SZ-3. The sign of Aquarius takes on special significance for the Earth, since both the Tropical and the SZ’s signs of Aquarius overlap. This situation might be interpreted as the undistorted (and, hence, magnified) passing of Aquarian energies to Earth, enhanced by the present influence of Uranus.

The arguments in support of these Hypotheses are presented in [1, Part 8]. In general, they demonstrate a synchronism of the Change-of-Ages Concepts and include both astrophysical and historical analysis, as well as esoterical and astrological considerations. In particular, it is shown how the comets arrive in unison with the Solar cycles, and the latter ones – with the oscillation of the hypernova Eta Carinae.

The orthogonality of the SZ and TZ axes at the GCC has evidently caused a change in both the flux and polarities of the energies radiated from the Galaxy to the Earth. To clarify this point, just think what happens when you stick your hand out of the window of a driving car. When you hold your hand orthogonal to the direction of travel of the car, you will get the maximum flux of the wind energy that will be experienced as drag, but when hold your hand parallel to the direction of travel, almost no drag is experienced. This is also why we align a solar panel perpendicular to the solar rays to get the maximum flux and the highest efficiency. This is what’s been happening on a Galactic scale with the Earth, the ‘solar panel’ has been aligned such that we’re experiencing a different Galactic energy flux radiated from the GC.

We surmise that a relation may also exist between the GCC and global warming. Research starts to reveal that not carbon dioxide emissions are the root cause of global warming, but extraterrestrial influences from Space. Also both the overall and Earth-directed effects of Solar activity has increased in intensity in the past decade. On Earth these energetic changes are reflected in the change of weather patterns and upsurges in volcanic and seismological activity; By using the Sun and cardinal points of TZ as a lens, the Galactic energies may be causing a rise in global political instability, increase in wars and a growing polarization between clashing religions. Research strongly suggests a direct relation between the years of Solar maximum and an upsurge of violence on the planet. (For more detail on these effects See Parts 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 of [1]).
But here we should like to emphasise now those new aspects of the GCC that pertain to Resume 1.

Resume 2.

1. The Stauros , as well as the Astronomical cross   and various types of the Ankh represent the Solar Zodiac equally with the TZ; in this sense the Galactic Cross  is symbolically "equal" to the Terrestrial Cross.

2. The correlation of the cardinal axes of both these Zodiacs is evidently represented by the Double or Eight-pointed cross  both geometrically, and numerically, and esoterically. At this the Decussated cross X may present the Terrestrial cross being crucified over the Stauros, ,  presenting the Galactic one.

3. The SZ-TZ correlation seemingly presents the first important model which discloses the mysterious origin of the Double cross, the esoteric nature of which is described incompletely, not to say very faintly.

4. As far as the considered types of the crosses and respective concepts of world periods and Sun are found throughout the world in the artefacts of Maya, Egypt, India, etc., we can conclude that they were aware about the Solar Zodiac, XX-Correlation and GCC, in this or that presentation of these concepts.

5. For these reasons the Double Cross  can be taken for the symbol of the united action of these two crosses, Terrestrial and Galactic ones, that is – for the XX-Correlation, whereas the Astronomical cross   - for the symbol of the Great Celestial Conjunction presenting the event of superposition of these two crosses, or, in a descriptive form, the Galactic Crucifixion of the Earth. To this end we express our hope that the title of this article actually reflects the re-birthing of the Terrestrial life in the Theosophical sense (See Supplement 1).

4. The allied Models

The concept of the SZ was firstly published in 1996 [5]. After then, it was replenished with extra examples and grounding [6, 7]. However, it was known, but mainly to astrologers. For this reason it makes sense to compare it with the allied ones – with the Galactic Alignment (GA) [8], "Holy Cross" {of the TZ Equinox and Galactic Equator axes} (HC) [9], and with the Cross of Hendaye [10].

Galactic Alignment ( John Major Jenkins )

The definition of the first concept is as follows [8]:

As it is well known, the Winter Solstice is defined as the moment when the Sun coincides with the cardinal point  0° Capricorn (WS); this event takes place when the Sun's coordinate makes exactly λ=180° 0' 0' in Ecliptic longitude, or α=18h 0m 0s (viz. 180° 0' 0') in R.A.

For this reason the GA is the event which may take place, but once a year – around December 21 (the exact moment depends on the year). By definition, it does not take into consideration the similar alignment on the Summer Solstice; neither does it consider the Sun at the TZ's Equinoxes which are close to the SZ's Solstice axis presenting the axis of rotation of the Galaxy. With this in mind we obtain the following corrected (Supplement 2) point and interval estimates for the Galactic Alignment instead of (6):

Epoch of the Galactic Alignment (point estimate)

  =  { December 21, 1997; GMT 20:07};                                                (7)

the Galactic Alignment "zone", or "era-2012" (interval estimate):

 =  { ( Dec. 22, 1975; GMT 11:46 ) , ( Dec. 22, 2019; GMT 4:21) }.    (8)

At the same time, by allowing for the point of intersection of the Ecliptic and Galactic Equator instead of the tangent to the Solar disc we obtain more adequate interval estimate for the GA:

= { (Dec. 22, 1978),   (Dec. 21, 2016) }.                                                (9)

See for detailed calculations Supplement 2

The "Holy Erected Cross" (  Nick Anthony Fiorenza )

The Holy Cross (HC)strocture is as follows [9].

"Just as Earth nests within our solar system, so too does our solar system nest safely within the care of our galaxy."… "These three intersecting astrophysical planes, the galactic plane, the ecliptic plane, and the Earth's equatorial plane, all tilted at unique angles to one another, create the geometric orientation of the two intersecting lines or cross members of the Holy Cross. Due to Earth's precessional wobble, and the subsequent wobble of Earth's Celestial Equatorial Plane, one cross member rotates around the ecliptic ring while the other remains stationary--creating the ~25,000 year "Cycle of the Holy Cross." The timing of this cyclic movement determines when the moving cross member is perpendicular to the stationary one, thus creating the perfect or erect cross. There are two erect crosses occurring in the cycle, both create primary transition points in the cycle and in our evolutionary unfoldment. One cross occurred about 12,000 years ago, the other is the astrophysical event occurring NOW."

"The Holy Cross is often depicted in ancient esoteric societies, as well as in sacred religious orders of today, quite simply, as a cross in a circle--or in some minor variance of this cardinal form. …

The Holy Cross is not only a spiritual symbol, it is also the astronomical symbol for planet Earth. The cosmic significance of this symbol is that it marks the timing of a primary transition or turning in the natural evolutionary cycle of the Earth. Hidden within this symbol is a map referring to a unique occurrence of a specific geometric relationship between Earth, the solar system, and our galaxy--an astrophysical event occurring now, within Earth's ~25,920 year, precessional cycle. ..."
"The erect cross … centers "around" 1999/2000 AD"

The correlation between the HC and GCC is described below in terms of the XX-correlation, as the former is composed of the TZ Equinox and SZ Equinox axes.  

Cross of Hendaye. ( Vincent Bridges , Jay Weidner)

According to the writers Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges in their book ‘The Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye; Alchemy and the End of Time‘ [10], the cross of Hendaye (See Photo at the title of the Article and Supplement 1) supposedly encodes some catastrophic event that is supposed to happen on Earth and this event is related to the Earth’s precession cycle. One of the important symbols on the cross are the double X figures on top of this cross which actually present the Eight pointed Cross  (See Photo on the right)

The XX-correlation/GCC offers a simple and straightforward explanation for the combination of these two types of the Cross of Hendaye.

So we may suggest that Fulcanelli was actually aware of some clues to ancient secrets that were kept in the Hermetic vaults of secret societies. This Cross (See Supplement 1) may indeed be a marker of great changes related to the precession of the Equinoxes and this rare event – the Great Celestial Conjunction.

5. Conclusions

1. The concept of the Solar Zodiac extends the well-known model of the Tropical Zodiac (being inherent to the Earth) to the Solar System with respect to the Hermetic axiom, "as above, so below; as below, so above". In this sense the SZ carries out the "same" function from the perspective of the Sun, as the TZ does from the perspective of the Earth.

The principal elements of the SZ's image are the axes of "Solstices" and "Equinoxes" (or the cardinal points with the same names). By resemblance with the TZ, these cardinal axes are defined by the planes of Ecliptic (analogue of Equator in TZ) and Galactic Equator (analogue of Ecliptic in TZ).

As these TZ's cardinal axes define the most important "channels" through which the outer influence is transferred to the Earth, so we can presume that the SZ axes act, but relative to the Solar System objects.

2. Due to the known physical and esoterical importance of the TZ's cardinal axes for the Terrestrial life, and in compliance with the analogy between the TZ and SZ we come to the conclusion that the precession-caused coinciding of these axes named the Great Celestial Conjunction (GCC) presents great importance to the Earth as such that opens the "Gate" for the Galactic influence.

3. The GCCs take place four times a Precessional cycle (Platonic year), viz. every 6500 years, but the current one is seemingly to be considered as the Origin of this cycle since the TZ's Winter Solstice point is also close to the Galactic Centre and Solar Apex (the latter object is not considered in other concepts).

4.  It is shown that the considered axes, together with the circle of Ecliptic, are reflected in the basic types of Cross, including the Astronomical cross. Moreover, it is shown that the most probable meaning of the mystical eight-pointed cross (whose nature remained almost unclear) is the XX-Correlation, viz. the unity of all four cardinal axes of these two Zodiacs – the SZ and TZ, whereas the more profound meaning of the Astronomical cross presents the GCC event.
For this reason the Astronomical Cross may be considered as a graphical emblem for the GCC, whereas the Eight-pointed Cross – as the symbol for the XX-correlation.

5. With respect to Sections 2, 3, and Theosophical meaning of Crucifixion, the event of the GCC may be considered as renewal of all spheres of the Terrestrial life by the extra-Solar System influence, whatever name is used for this concept at present; as no process develops instantly, the obtained intervals (2), (3) for the "exact" moment (1) of the GCC show the most probable period of intensive transformations.

6. By allowing for the Mayan Cosmogenesis pertaining to the Death of the 4th period of the Sun and other concepts, the crosses found in America signifying the GCC provide one more piece of evidence to the Galactic equator significance before the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012; however, we may suggest that due to a relatively high instability of the Obliquity their date, 2012, was specified not only on the approximation of the Obliquity, or they used an average value of this parameter for fitting the interval of transformations.

In either case the 2012 gets more grounds of becoming a point of bifurcation within the current age (1) –(3) of intensive transformations.

7. The concepts of XX-correlation, Galactic Alignment (GA) and "Holy Cross" (HC) have much in common. Though each of these three concepts deals with the Galactic Equator and Tropical Equator intersections with the Ecliptic, they differ both in their numerical and symbolical aspects.

By definition, the Galactic Alignment is the Winter Solstice Sun intersected by the Galactic Equator. This means that the GA considers just the moments of the Winter Solstices being 1 year distant one from another within the time interval of "era-2012". For this reason it does not considerthe Solstice axis by itself; neither does it consider the Summer Solstice Alignment, nor the coincidence of the Galactic Equator with the TZ's Equinox axis: it deals with only two of the four XX-correlations over a Platonic year.

As to the actual motion of the Sun along the Ecliptic ("transiting Sun"), the GA treats it just at the discrete moments of the Winter Solstices and has nothing in common with the remaining three cardinal points of the coincided Tropical and Solar Zodiacs which the transiting Sun passes each year.

Besides, use of more exact interpolation for calculation of the GA epoch (within the definition of the GA) has allowed us to correct significantly the epoch of this event and the time interval of era-2012.

8. Astronomically, the "Holy Cross" is the orthogonal cross on the plane of Ecliptic that comprises two lines presenting the intersections of the Ecliptic plane with the Tropical Equator and Galactic Equator planes.
From this point of view the HC presents the Equinox axes of the Tropical and Solar Zodiacs and does not take into account the Solstice axes of these Zodiacs. For this reason it, as the HC, also considers only two of the four XX-correlations in a Platonic year, which are synchronous with the GA.

Numerically, the concept of the HC is quite arbitrarily attached to the period of 1999/2000.
Though we see that the Astronomical cross  relates to the HC, we cannot ignore the fact that the elements of the HC belong to qualitatively different structures relative to the level of hierarchy:  to the Earth and to the Galaxy. For this esoterically important reason we prefer to consider the situation with the different types of Cross as it was formulated in Resumes 1 and 2.

9. In accordance with the accepted principle, the position of the Tropical Vernal Point in the outer (e.g. Sidereal) Zodiac specifies the properties of a new Age with respect to the sign where this point resides. In this sense the four Great Celestial conjunctions define four Ages of the Platonic year, one of which is starting right now and have the properties described in Hypotheses SZ-1 – SZ-3. These four Ages are evidently nothing else than the Fulcanelli's Four Ages comprising four quadrants of the Precessional year; the more so he considers the "The Cyclic Cross of Hendaye" connecting the macrocosm and the microcosm as a mechanism showing how and when the Universe changes its influence toward the Earth.

10. One of the most important symbols of Maya which presents the supreme God and ultimate Creator, Hunab Ku, presents, both from an astronomical and mythological points of view, the essence and thus, another form of Double Cross.

11. Finally, we may resume that the basic conclusions that result from the concept of the Double-cross correlation (based on the correlation of the Solar and Tropical Zodiacs) at the age of the Great Celestial Conjunction correspond to the existing physical and social state of the Earth, as well as to the Ancient Theosophical concepts relative to the astronomical meaning of different types of Cross. For this reason we may suggest that since the ancient times and throughout the world the Eight-pointed cross  was used for presenting the concept of the XX-correlation, whereas the Astronomical cross , in its most profound sense, – was used for the concept of the Great Celestial Conjunction; this is apart from the other symbols that were considered alongside.

Further evidences in support of these conclusions are to appear at [1, Page 7: ATS in the artefacts of Egypt].

Introduction

Just recently the University of Bradford released lectures in freemasonry and published it on their website. Dr Robert Lomas of the University of School of Management has dumped his archives on his research of Freemasonry and the information he’s got from the Masonic writer Walter Leslie Wilmshurst and published it on the internet.

The release of this information of Scottish Rite freemasons from the Hermetic vaults of masonry is astonishing to say the least since it reveals their knowledge and understanding of the Galactic Alignment that occurs this time around era-2012.

Galactic Alignment

Galactic Alignment is the conjunction of the summer and winter solstice Sun with the Galactic Equator that happens around 2012 (in the 2012 era from 1980-2016). It is the origin of the 26000 year precession cycle and the beginning of a New Age.

Galactic Alignment has been popularised by John Major Jenkins but was also discovered by professor Sergey Smelyakov 2 years prior to John Major Jenkinks’ first publication of his theory. For a detailed discussion of this subject see our paper ‘Crucifying the Earth on the Galactic Cross’.

This freemason revelation came to my attention through the publication of an article on Wayne Herschel’s website. Herschel has interpreted the freemason’s disclosure as a confirmation of his ‘mystery’ star theory but we’ll provide an alternative interpretation in this article.

Earlier we have re-interpreted Herschel’s Stonehenge-Pleiades connection and showed how the Pleiades are a pointer to the summer solstice Sun on the Milky Way (summer solstice Galactic Alignment) that is encoded at Stonehenge.

Freemason’s clues

We cannot expect that the Scottish Rite freemasons will give away their secret knowledge that they have preserved for centuries without further ado; the revelation of the information that they have given on the Bradford’s University’s website may be as close as we can ever get about learning their esoteric mysteries, yet they have left the door ajar enough for us to swing it open and reveal what’s inside.

We must keep in mind that the nature of the information that is provided by the Scottish Rite freemasons is of an exoteric nature. The hidden esoteric or occult meaning of their information is only revealed to the initiates of the Order. While a Masonic symbol may have a clear obvious exoteric appearance it may distract us from the multiple intended esoteric meanings. In other words an exoteric symbol may have one or more esoteric meanings.

All we have is the mysterious ‘Tracing Board’ and the clues that were given by the Scottish Rite freemasons on their website.

Here’s a summary of the important clues that were given:

Quote:

“The blazing star, or glory in the centre, refers us to the Sun, which enlightens the earth, and by its benign influence dispenses blessings to mankind in general”.

“In all regular, well-formed, constituted Lodges, there is a point within a circle round which a Mason cannot err; this circle is bounded between North and South by two grand parallel lines, the one representing Moses, the other King Solomon; on the upper part of this circle rests the Volume of the Sacred Law, supporting Jacob's ladder, the top of which reaches to the heavens; and were we as conversant with that holy book, and as adherent to the doctrines therein contained, as both those parallels were, it would lead us to Him who will not deceive us, neither will He suffer deception.”

“The three great Pillars supporting Mason's Lodges are emblematical of the Divine attributes; they further represent Solomon, King of Israel, Hiram, King of Tyre, and Hiram Abif. Solomon, King of Israel for his Wisdom in building, completing, and dedicating the Temple at Jerusalem to God's service; Hiram, King of Tyre, for his Strength in supporting him with men and material and Hiram Abif, for his curious a masterly workmanship in beautifying and adorning the same. But as we have no noble orders in Architecture known by the names of Wisdom Strength, and Beauty, we refer them to the three most celebrated, the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.”

Moses caused a tent or Tabernacle to be erected in the wilderness, which by God's especial command was situated due East and West, for Moses did everything according to a pattern shown him by the Lord on Mount Sinai. This Tent or Tabernacle proved afterwards to be the ground-plan, in respect to situation, of that most magnificent Temple built at Jerusalem by that wise and mighty Prince, King Solomon, whose regal splendour and unparalleled lustre far transcend our ideas.

End Quote:

Let’s carefully analyse these clues.

Solstice and equinox Sun

The first thing that attracts our attention are the cardinal directions that are noted in the tessellated border of the board. According to the Scottish Rite freemasons, the mosaic on the border represents the planets of our Solar System.

There’s no doubt that the blazing star at the centre of the ‘Tracing Board’ is our Sun. The point within the circle depicted on the table at the foot of the ladder is the ancient representation of the Sun as well as the Egyptian hieroglyph for Ra, the Egyptian Sun god.

The Blazing Star corresponds with the equinox Sun that rises in the East and sets in the West. The top of the board is the East and the bottom is the West. The equinox Sun lies on the line connecting the cardinal directions East and West.

The Scottish Rite freemasons gave us the clue that ‘The grand parallel lines that bound the Sun between the North and the South’ are in fact the tropic of Cancer (North) and tropic of Capricorn (South). The tropics determine the extremes of Sun’s path at the summer and winter solstices.

The grand paralell lines

Given these clues, there is therefore little doubt that the Suns on the left and right represent the solstice Suns!

The Sun on the left is the summer solstice Sun that rises in the North East and sets in the North West during the summer solstice. This Sun appears in the North East region of the ‘Tracing Board’.

The Sun on the right is the winter solstice Sun that rises in the South East and sets in the South West during the winter solstice. This Sun appears in the South East region of the ‘Tracing Board’.

The central Sun the blazing star has yet another very important significance; it represents the Sun on the Galactic Equator as we will demonstrate later.

The three Suns depicted in the ‘Tracing Board’ from right to left seem to suggest the movement of the Sun through the Galactic Equator at the equinox. This is the basic concept of the precession of the equinoxes.

The name ‘Tracing Board’ therefore may suggest the tracing of the Sun along the precession cycle since it presents the idea of the conjunction of the Sun with the Galactic Equator on solstices and equinoxes.

The latter is the concept of Galactic Alignment or Great Celestial Conjunctions as we have called them in our paper ‘Crucifying the Earth on the Galactic Cross’ (Smelyakov, Wicherink 2006). There are four of these conjunctions of the Sun with the Galactic Equator in a Platonic Year (one full precession cycle) that make up the four World Ages of the ancients.

The ecliptic crosses the Milky Way at two places; one place is near the Dark Rift in between the constellations Scorpio and Sagittarius while the other is in between Taurus and Gemini near the Pleiades.

In our present time the Sun aligns with the Dark Rift near the Galactic Centre at the winter solstice. Also during the summer solstice the Sun aligns with the crossing of the ecliptic and the Milky Way in between Taurus and Gemini. The sun now resides near the Pleiades and the Galactic Anti-Centre.

If we take a careful look at the ‘Tracing Board’ we notice that the Sun on the left is depicted in a black dark region. This dark region represents the Dark Rift of the Milky Way. If we look at the Sun on the right we notice that there are seven stars depicted near the Sun. The seven stars denote the stars of the Pleiades

There is one thing however that doesn’t quit seem to fit. The summer solstice Sun ( Sun on the left) is near in the Dark Rift, while the winter solstice Sun is near the Pleiades.

This is the reverse situation of the current Galactic Alignment that is occurring during era 2012!

Although the ‘Tracing Board’ conveys the idea of Galactic Alignment it is actually referring to the Galactic Alignment that occurred half a precession cycle ago (around 13.000 years ago). This is the time that many researchers have associated with the time of Egyptian Zep Tepi (first time), the Deluge and the destruction of Atlantis.

Bible and Astrology

In order to further understand the secrets of the ‘Tracing Board’ we must understand that the Bible contains texts that are an allegory of the esoteric astrological meaning that it conceals. We can only fully decode the ‘Tracing Board’ if we accept the possibility that the biblical references given by the Scottish Rite freemasons are in fact astronomical hints. It is beyond the scope of this article to prove the assertion that the Bible encodes astrological information.

We refer the reader to Jordan Maxwel and Michael Tsarion who have done a lot of research into the field of astrotheology.

Also this this website gives information on the astrological –biblical links that we will be using in this article.

So let’s look at all of the clues the freemason’s left on their website and in the ‘Tracing Board’ and review them in their astrological context.

Jacob’s Ladder

Jacob’s ladder appears in the ‘Tracing Board’ and is reaching into the Heavens. Jacob was the grandson of Abraham and Sarah, the son of Isaac and Rebecca. Jacob's 12 sons were the ancestors of the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 tribes of Israel is a reference to the twelve houses of the Zodiac, just like the 12 apostles of Jesus are. That’s why Leonardo Da Vinci portrayed the apostles in 4 groups of three in his painting of the Last Supper separating the zodiac into four seasons.

Leonardo Da Vinci, Last Supper with four groups of apostles

Notice by the way that there is no chalice on the table!

Jacob dreamt of the Milky Way as a ladder with angels ascending and descending it. The ascending angles of course are the up and down moving stars in the sky.

Milky Way erect during summer

During summertime the Milky Way stands erect on the horizon and forms a ‘Stairway to Heaven’ or Jacob’s ladder. The idea of representing the Milky Way as a stairway or ladder leading to Heaven was a very common theme in ancient times. This idea was expressed as a rope, a tree (World Tree) or a ladder leading into the skies. The Maya called the Milky Way the Wakah Chan during summer sunrise ‘the raised up sky’ and it was represented as the World Tree.

On the website the Scottish Rite freemasons speak about the ‘The Volume of the Sacred Law’ appearing on the table with the circle and dot (Sun) supporting Jacob’s ladder. The Volume of the Sacred Law is a reference to the religious book, the Holy Bible containing the Masonic square and compasses.

This statement I believe states that the Sun (circle and dot) is supporting the Milky Way (Jacob’s ladder) and that this knowledge is contained in ‘The Volume of the Sacred Law’, the Bible which rests between the Sun (circle and dot) and the Milky Way (Jacob’s ladder). In other words they are speaking of the importance of the Sun on the Milky Way (Galactic Alignment), information that is contained in the bible...

Moses

The Scottish Rite freemasons write ‘there is a point within a circle round which a Mason cannot err; this circle is bounded between North and South by two grand parallel lines, the one representing Moses, the other King Solomon’. As we have explained above this is a reference to the solstice sun.  So according to the freemasons, Moses must be equalled to the solstice sun!

This reveals yet another clue.

In the book Exodus a “pillar of cloud” is mentioned that guided Moses out of the desert during the daytime and a “pillar of fire” that accompanied him by night.

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night;
22 the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
(Ex. 13:21-22)

This pillar of cloud and pillar of fire is nothing less than the Milky Way:

Pillar of fire representation of the Milky Way at night

Notice that the three pillars in the ‘Tracing Board’’ are surrounded by clouds! The horizontal architraves disappear into the clouds. Notice that there are three pillars and three clouds, but they are not normal clouds since they are all vertical clouds, pillars of clouds which is very unusual! The fact that the three pillars are also veiled by the three vertical clouds stresses the fact that the pillars and the clouds are linked. These are significant clues that the pillars represent the daytime ‘pillar of cloud’ representation of the Milky Way.

The astronomical significance of Moses (representing the Sun) is revealed while he ascends mount Sinai on his way to receive the Ten Commandments from God. The cloud in the following Bible texts refers to the Milky Way. Now follow this:

The cloud is coming.

9 And the LORD said to Moses. “Lo, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you for ever.”
(Ex. 19:9)

The cloud is on the mountain (at the junction) waiting for Moses the sun to arrive.

16 On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
(Ex. 19:16)

Moses the sun is ascending.

15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
(Ex. 24:15)

When Moses enters the tent (covering or covenant), the sun is crossing the Milky Way.

9 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the door of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses.
(Ex. 33:9)

Notice that the pillar of cloud stands at the door of the tent an indication of the erected Milky Way as it appears in the summer night sky.

One might argue that the association of the pillar of cloud with the Milky Way are wild speculations, but me must remember there is another clue given by the Scottish Rite freemasons mentioning the fact that Moses his tent or Tabernacle was erected due East and West according to a pattern shown by the Lord on Mount Sinai. This pattern corresponds with the ground plan of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem! We are surely dealing with an astronomical event here, since all temples in ancient times where aligned to the rising and setting equinox Sun due East and West.

Another interesting fact is that Moses was on the Mount and in the clouds for 40 days and 40 nights.

And Moses entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: And he was there forty days and forty nights.
Exo 24:18

And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exo 34:28-29

Professor Sergey Smelyakov has calculated that the era of the Great Celestial Conjunction lasts exactly 39 years! This is the time that the Sun resides on the Milky Way during a Great Celestial Conjunction at solstices or equinoxes.
 
So the biblical account for the duration (whereas years are represented as days) of the Galactic Alignment era comes very close to the calculations made by professor Sergey Smelyakov. John Major Jenkins mentions era-2012 (1980-2016) as a period of 36 years. This period was calculated by the astronomer Jean Meeus, however Smelyakov has proven that his calculations are more accurate than the calculations made by Jean Meeus.

Finally in Revelation, the book that deals with the End of Time prophecies, we find another reference to the crossing of the Sun with the ‘pillars of fire’. The rainbow in the text symbolizes the ecliptic (arc of the sun).

1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
(Rev. 10:1)

King Solomon

King Solomon is very important to the Scottish Rite freemasons. The knowledge they gained and the secrets they keep originate from Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.

King Solomon completed the temple in Jerusalem that became the abode of the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments that Moses took down from mount Sinai.

If Moses meeting with God at mount Sinai represents a Galactic Alignment (the sun’s conjunction with the Milky Way), then the Ark of the Covenant must be the container that stores this sacred knowledge.

When the Knights Templars on their crusades to Jerusalem found the remains of the destroyed temple of Jerusalem (Solomon’s temple), they discovered the ‘Holy Grail’. The ‘Holy Grail’ is most likely not an artefact, the chalice of the Last Supper but very likely ‘a secret’ that reveals the true origins of Christianity and its foundation on pagan traditions astrology and its ancient Egyptian-Sumerian-Babylonian roots. Leonardo Da Vinci as a freemason understood this and that’s why he’s left the chalice out of his painting of the Last Supper.

If you look at the ‘Tracing Board’ you see a hand emerging from underneath the blazing Sun on the Milky Way. The hand is reaching out to the chalice, it’s the Masonic symbol of the ‘Holy Grail’. Since the ‘Tracing Board’ reveals information on Galactic Alignment it’s my assumption that this information was part of the knowledge that the Templars acquired on their travels to the Holy Land. This knowledge has become part of the Holy Grail that was passed on to the Scottish Rite freemasons.

Beneath the chalice (Holy Grail symbol) we find an anchor, a key and a cross. The key symbolizes the ‘key’ to the secret knowledge, the Holy Grail that the Church has been trying to hide. The links of the Catholic Church’s to its pagan roots were destroyed during the first council in Nicea in 325 AD and Christians were taught that astrology is evil and devil worshipping. We now understand why.

The cross represents the celestial cross that is formed by the crossing of the ecliptic and the Milky Way. This is the origin of the cross symbol that is far more ancient than Christianity itself who adopted this symbol to represent the resurrection of Christ as we have explained in our article ‘Crucifying the Earth on the Galactic Cross’. The cross represents a Great Celestial Conjunction or Galactic Alignment when the Earth Cross aligns with the Galactic Cross.

Earth Cross and Galactic Cross merge during a Great Celestial Conjunction

The symbol worn by the Knights Templars is a red cross.

The anchor in the ‘Tracing Board’ symbolizes the anchor point and origin of the precession cycle, the current Great Celestial Conjunction (Galactic Alignment 2012).

The mysteries of the Templars and why they amassed so much wealth after their return from the Holy Land may be nothing less than the extortion of the Church since they now had compelling evidence of the ancient pagan roots of Christianity that could be traced back to ancient Egypt, Sumer and Babylon.

Research has revealed that Christ was NOT THE FIRST Saviour to have been born from a virgin mother and die on the cross. For example the Egyptian Sun god Horus was born from the virgin mother Isis-Meri (Mary) on December 25th, 4 days after the Sun of God (Horus) had died on the winter solstice day on the zodiac cross. He was resurrected and reborn four days later when the Sun of God started to rise again in the winter skies. The similarities between the Sun of God and the life of the Son of God Jesus Christ are remarkable. The list of prophets who were born of a virgin mother counts at least 13 members and they all lived before the time of Christ

The Templars probable extortion of the Church and King Philip IV’s personal dept to the Templars became the turning point when the king persuaded Pope Clement V to intervene and take action to stop the Templars. On Friday the 13 October 1307 king Philip IV had members of the Order arrested, tortured and burned at the stake.

Since many of the Templars were informed on forehand of the betrayal by the French king, they fled to the port of La Rochelle from where their ships set sail to Scotland. On board were most likely their treasures and the Ark of the Covenant. The Templars got protection from Robert the Bruce after the battle of Bannockburn, which took place on St. John the Baptist's day. The Templars worshiped and accepted John the Baptist as their Saviour and not Christ since they had turned their back on the Church.

Their treasures including the Ark of the Covenant were most likely buried in Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland near Edinburgh. Rosslyn Chapel was built according to the floor plan of Solomon’s temple and the Tabernacle of Moses and is believed to be a replica of Solomon’s temple itself.

The rebuilding of Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem is linked to the prophecies of the ‘New Jerusalem, city of Revelation’, the biblical End Times, the second coming of Christ, the end of the Maya fourth Sun, the end of the Hopi fourth world, the Apocalypse (meaning Revelation), the End of the Great Cycle (Platonic Year) and the current Great Celestial Conjunction or Galactic Alignment 2012.

These I believe all these eschatological prophecies are ALL THE SAME EVENTS.

Revelation 21:1-6 (King James Version)

1 And I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth: for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are True and Faithful.
6 And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Life freely.

The Royal Exalted Religious and Military Order of
Masonic Knights Templar of England and Wales

Scottish Rite of Freemasonry

The arrival of the Templars in Scotland was the start of Scottish freemasonry and the formation for the Lodges of the Scottish Rite as well as the Lodges of the Masonic Knights Templars of England and Wales. Is it therefore a surprise that the revelations of these Scottish Rite freemasons are published on a website of a British University?
 
Certainly not! What is surprising is that they came out with this information now we’re heading towards 2012!

The initiates and keepers of the deepest secrets of the End of Time Prophecies, such as the Maya and the Hopi, and now the Scottish Rite freemasons as well, all step forward in this special time to announce their message to the world. It seems the time of the Apocalypse or the time of Revelation has come.

Cabalá y Vida Moderna- Viviendo con el Tiempo
Un Mensaje de Torá para el mes de Tevet
del
Rabino Itzjak Ginsburgh

El Mes de Tevet

De acuerdo con el Sefer Ietzirá, cada mes del año judío tiene una letra del alfabeto hebreo, un signo del zodíaco, una de las doce tribus de Israel, un sentido, y un órgano controlador del cuerpo que le corresponde.

Tevet es el décimo de los doce meses del calendario judío.

El mes de tevet inicia el "período" (tekufá) del invierno, cuyos tres meses - tevet, shevat, adar - corresponden a las tres tribus del campamento de Dan - Dan, Asher, Naftalí - que estaban situados al norte del campamento).

Tevet comienza con los últimos días de Jánuca, cuyo momento culminante es en el día octavo, Zot Jánuca. Su décimo día, el día décimo del décimo mes ("el décimo será sagrado para Di-s"), es un día de ayuno en conmemoración del sitio de Jerusalem, el principio de la destrucción del Templo.

Los cuatro días en que conmemoramos la destrucción del Templo son, según el año en que ocurrió, el 17 de tamuz (el 4to mes), el 9 de av (el 5to mes), el 3 de tishrei (el 7mo mes) y el 10 de tevet (el 10mo mes). Dicen los profetas de estos cuatro días (según su mes respectivo): "el ayuno del cuarto, y el ayuno del quinto, y el ayuno del séptimo, y el ayuno del décimo serán (en el futuro) para la casa de Judá para regocijo y alegría y festividad".

La suma de los cuatro números 4,5,7 y 10 es 26, el valor del inefable Nombre de misericordia de Di-s, Havaiá. (Los días de las cuatro fechas mencionadas 17, 9, 3 y 10 suman 26 y 13, siendo 13 el valor de la palabra ejad ("uno"). Por lo tanto 26 y 13 = 39 es el valor numérico de Havaiá ejad ["Havaiá es uno"]. 26 [el valor de los meses] más 13 [el valor de los días] = 65 = Adnut).

Estos cuatro números poseen un orden progresivo numérico, con diferencias de 1, 2 y 3. Si continuamos la progresión, los siguientes tres números son 14, 19, 25 que suman 58 - jen ("gracia"). Junto con 26 - Havaiá - los primeros siete números de la progresión ("todos los séptimos son queridos") equivalen a Janoj (cuyo nombre proviene de la palabra "educación" e "iniciación", es un acrónimo de "La gracia de Havaiá"), la séptima generación ("querida") desde Adam.

Todos los días de ayuno, cuando son observados apropiadamente, traen aquí abajo la gracia desde su fuente de misericordia, el Nombre de Di-s Havaiá. El epítome de este proceso (según el orden del año, de acuerdo con las palabras del profeta) es el diez de tevet (en el secreto de "el final [el último día de ayuno del año] está incluido en el principio [de los eventos que llevaron a la destrucción]"). Por la Gracia Divina, el tercer y eterno Templo es construido, primero en el corazón de Israel, para luego manifestarse físicamente en el tierra.

Letra: ain

Esta letra significa "ojo". El mes de tevet es el mes de la rectificación y nulificación del "mal ojo". La palabra tevet misma viene de tov, "bueno", en referencia a "el buen ojo" (la fuente del poder de bendecir, como está dicho: "el buen ojo bendecirá"). Esta rectificación comienza con la contemplación de las luminarias de Jánuca (especialmente cuando están completas en el octavo día).

Todo proceso destructivo comienza con el "mal ojo" del odio, el odio de lo profano hacia lo sagrado (el secreto del diez, el número sagrado como ya se mencionó). Del odio proviene la ira, el fuego de la destrucción. La letra intermedia de kaas, "odio", es la ain. El negativo kaas debe ser primero rectificado a su correspondiente positivo, como será explicado aquí.

Mazal: "guedi" (Capricornio - cabrito)

Nuestros sabios nos enseñan que a los diez (una alusión al décimo mes y al nivel de diez en general) un niño "salta como un cabrito" (Midrash Kohelet). La naturaleza juguetona de saltar arriba y abajo "como un cabrito" refleja una etapa importante del proceso de crecimiento. El mes de tevet, de la tribu de Dan, se relaciona con el proceso de crecimiento, desde un estado de inmadurez a la madurez.

La inmadurez está caracterizada por el "mal ojo", mientras que la madurez lo está por el "buen ojo". Guedi = 17 = tov, "bueno". Debemos jugar y saltar arriba y abajo como un cabrito, para rectificar y endulzar la ira latente en nuestra alma animal.

Tribu: Dan

Esta tribu representa el estado inicial de inmadurez en el alma que "madura" durante el mes de tevet. Dan significa "juzgar". Inicialmente juzga la realidad y a los demás en forma crítica, con severo juicio (el "mal ojo"). Esta es la naturaleza de alguien que es inmaduro espiritualmente. Dan es comparado con una serpiente, que muerde con el veneno de la ira. El "mal ojo" es el ojo de la serpiente. La rectificación de Dan es ocuparse en la batalla de la ira sagrada contra la ira del mal. Nuestros sabios nos enseñan que sólo alguien de la raíz espiritual de Dan puede saltar espontáneamente y matar a la serpiente malvada - "uno similar a él, lo mató".

Najash ("serpiente") = 358 = Mashiaj. El poder sagrado de Dan refleja la chispa de Mashiaj. Enseña el Zohar que el comandante en jefe del ejército de Mashiaj vendrá de la tribu de Dan.

Sentido: ira (kaas o roguez).

El sentido de la ira sagrada (la rectificación del mes de tevet) es la habilidad del alma de elevar nuestra buena inclinación de enojarse sobre la mala inclinación. Esto nos enseñan nuestro sabios en el comentario del versículo de Salmos: "Enójate y no peques".

La ira positiva expresa el profundo cuidado y preocupación del alma para que la realidad se vuelva buena. Si bien en este enojo hay un cierto componente de inmadurez (dado que la madurez absoluta, la del Creador de la realidad, sólo ve [con el ojo de tevet] todo como bueno), no obstante de esto está dicho: "porque Israel es [se comporta como] un muchacho, y [por eso] Yo [Di-s] lo amo".

Estudiamos en jasidut que uno debe dirigir su ojo izquierdo ("malo") hacia si mismo (con la furia sagrada de su bien innato contra su maldad innata), para rebajar y subyugar su ego, mientras que simultáneamente dirigir su ojo derecho ("bueno") hacia la realidad exterior (para que con ese poder ayude a perfeccionar la realidad misma).

Organo Controlador: el hígado (kaved).

Enseñan nuestros sabios que "el hígado es ira". La función del hígado es purificar la sangre con la que está saturado. En cabalá, el hígado corresponde a la serpiente primordial, cuya rectificación es personificada por Dan. (Los tres "regidores" del cuerpo y el alma son el cerebro, el corazón y el hígado, que corresponden a Adam, Javá y la serpiente, respectivamente).

La serpiente, en cabalá, representa el estado inicial de inmadurez del alma, caracterizado por un atributo de ira no rectificado . El veneno de la serpiente es caliente (ver el mes de Jeshvan), como el fuego de la ira. Cuando se convierte al bien, el fuego (y la sangre del hígado) sirve para calentar el frío mes de tevet.

Kaved = 26 = Havaiá. Esto refleja el secreto mencionado antes, que la suma de los cuatro meses en los que se "ayuna" por la destrucción del Templo (por el veneno de la serpiente primordial), que terminan en tevet, equivalen juntos a 26. Al ayunar por la destrucción rectificamos nuestro hígado - sazonamos nuestra ira - y así "dulcificamos" la ira de Di-s (con Israel, la causa de la destrucción) y despierta la misericordia de Havaiá para reconstruir el Templo.
