who is this mysterious Son of Man?
No lie can live forever.
-Alfred North Whitehead
The Son of Man in the Gospels can be traced to the constellation Orion which represents Jesus' Spirit. Background for this report can be found in Gospel Zodiac, Jesus' Ghost and Pillar of Cloud. They explain how Jesus allegorizes the sun, the nature of Jesus' Spirit and the role the Milky Way plays in apocalyptic prophecies. This report explains the astrological significance of Son of Man.
Introduction
One of the imperatives in Christian mythology is the belief that the world as we know it will end someday. God will overthrow the forces of evil and all who side with them, and only those who repent and follow Jesus' teachings will be allowed to enter the new Kingdom of God. Jesus and Paul mention it often and the Book of Revelation is devoted to it.
Many passages attest that Jesus expected the end of the world to come in his time, not thousands of years later. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus refers to some mysterious Son of man, a cosmic judge sent from heaven who would destroy whoever opposes God and reward those who are faithful.
Who this Son of man? The popular claim has it that Jesus was referring to himself in the third person. It's plausible because many passages fit the course of Jesus' ministry. What is suspicious about this rationale is that Jesus appears to be describing someone else.
38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
1And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." (Mark 8:38-9:1)
I submit that Christian reasoning is entirely wrong. When Christians read the predictions of the end of the world, they are waiting for events to unfold on earth. Even after 2,000 years of false alarms, they have not lost patience, and I don't know if they will ever admit that maybe they are misreading the New Testament.
Such a calamity cannot happen as the Bible predicts. Something on that scale would take an event like a large meteor to hit earth. In such a case, a meteor would not care who is faithful to Jesus. If there was a nuclear war, bombs would be guided by human stupidity, not divine intelligence. If any other catastrophe happens on that scale, earth would not be a very pleasant place for the survivors. Whatever the cause of mass destruction, faith will not protect anybody. Even worse, if the entire world was destroyed, as devout Christians believe, there would be no survivors.
What confuses modern readers is the way the Bible's writers coded their belief in the power of the stars as if they affected life on earth. The matter before us is to decipher their writings for what they meant to ancients, not to what modern believers want to believe.
For this reason, we will examine the Bible from an astronomical point of view. It was a time when ancients perceived the stars in heaven as patterns to be interpreted as God's divine plan for life on earth. The sun was especially important to them because they understood that life on earth depended on it.
There are three clues which clarify what they were writing about. The first describes the Son of man as the constellation Orion. The second relates the yearly sun cycle to the end of the world. The third tracks Orion with the sun cycle. There can be no other conclusion except that the idea of a supernatural God was conceived as a ruse to mislead faithful Christians.
The Son of man
Three passages define the Son of man in physical form.
The first appears in the apocalyptic writings of the Book of Daniel, where Daniel describes the Son of man as riding on the clouds of heaven to the "Ancient of days" to give him everlasting dominion over the new kingdom of heaven.
13I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. (Dan. 7:13-14)
Revelation's description of the Son of man fits the pattern of stars in the constellation Orion. The star on his right shoulder is bright red (upper left star). The three stars at his waste were later seen as the three wise men who announced the birth of Jesus.
12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast;
14his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,
15his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters;
16in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Rev. 1:12-20)
The Son of man has a cluster of stars in the background that look like the clouds upon which the Son of man rides. Astronomical maps show the Milky Way behind the constellation Orion. From earth, they look like clouds.
14And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
(Rev. 14:14-20)
A photograph of Orion, personified as the Son of man riding on a cloud.
Orion as seen in human form. His right hand could be holding a sickle or a club. His left hand could be holding an animal skin, a shield or a bow. The Milky Way is behind him. The arc above him represents the sun's path. The line going through his waste is the celestial equator which runs parallel to earth's equator.
Orion's legacy
After the Big Dipper, Orion is perhaps the next most celebrated constellation in the winter sky. Mythologies about Orion probably originated from the Egyptians thousands of years ago and extended to the Greeks at the turn of the first century. It is a very important constellation to astral religions and easy to recognize.
To the ancient Egyptians, Orion was Osiris the God of Light. Set was Orisis' brother and the God of Darkness. According to legend, Orisis was murdered by his evil brother Set, who tore his body into pieces and scattered the fragments. Isis, Osiris' wife, managed to put him back together except for his phallus, which had been swallowed by a fish. She made an artificial phallus and breathed into his body to restore his soul. Thereafter, he rose to the sky.
In one period, Orion represented the Egyptian god of the dead and the first king of Egypt. After death, the pharaoh was thought to mystically inseminate the stars to ensure that, through Osiris, Horus the sun god would be reborn as his successor.
In one Greek myth, Orion was the son of Neptune and the nymph Euryale. He was of gigantic size, strength and beauty. He was so tall that he could walk through deep water without wetting his head. His hubris invoked Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth to send a scorpion to kill him. His fall to earth can be seen when the stars of Orion sink defeated below the western horizon and the stars of Scorpion are just rising in the east.
The next night he rises again, saved by Ophiuchus, the Doctor of Antiquity who gave him an antidote for the scorpions poison. This can be seen when the Scorpion sets in the southwest with Ophiuchus standing over him as a symbol of the antidote. Later, when Ophiuchus sets in the west, Orion comes up from the east, fully recovered.
In these myths alone we see fragments of Christian mythology. Gods die and are restored to life. They are given a soul by being breathed into and they fall to earth as Adam did. The scorpion brings death as Judas did to Jesus. There is the eternal conflict between light and dark. (See Light verses Dark)
The timing of Orion's cycle fits with the birth of Jesus on December 25. It makes its first appearance in the east in mid December each year. And as the season progresses, Orion rises with the sun and sets in the west three days before it rises in the east again.
With the sun personified as Jesus, it is accurate to think of Orion as a constellation in synch with the sun's cycle. In a sense they are like conjoined twins who suffer the same fate. This is why the confusion about whether Jesus is referring to himself as the Son of Man in the third person or whether the Son of Man is some cosmic judge.
The sun cycle
In allegorical language, the sun goes through four seasonal cycles. It is born on December 25 when daylight hours start to increase. At about this same time Orion rises in the east with its three belt stars as the three wise men. As Orion rises, the star Sirius ascends above the horizon as the star of Bethlehem. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky.
The powers of darkness are still in power, but as the daylight hours increase, it is seen as overcoming the forces that try to stop it. In the Gospels, this is when Jesus is born and when his parents take him away to keep Herod from killing him.
At the spring equinox it has entered the gates of heaven when daylight hours start to emerge more powerful than the dark evil forces. Jesus' mission starts in the spring when he collects his disciples and builds a following.
At the summer solstice, when the sun is the highest in the sky, the sun is on its throne. In the following summer months, as the sun descends, it is still strong, but it is weakening as the dark forces start to make war against it. To show his strength, Jesus performs miracles and exorcises demons. At this time Orion is at the height of its ascent.
When the sun passes through the fall equinox, it enters the gates to hell. Night time hours start to lengthen and the dark forces are said to be fighting their way back to power. The sun continues to weaken until it dies for three days following December 21. This is when Jesus is betrayed by Judas and is taken to trial and executed. Allegorically, this is the end of the world.
On December 25, the sun is resurrected and the cycle repeats.
This cycle is not unique to Christianity; it plays out through the mythologies of resurrected gods. It was the age of fable when the constellations were assigned the names of gods. There was Hercules who died on his twelfth labor like Jesus. There is Jason and the Argonauts with their ship Argo, reminiscent of Noah's ark. The constellation Perseus holding the head of Medusa looks like David holding the head of Goliath. There are creation myths, supreme gods who mate with virgins, giants, serpents and a host of other characters like those in the Bible.
The Bible cannot be understood by those who are so blinded with faith that they keep their heads buried in the ground trying to make historical sense out of it. Look up to the sky. The keys to unlocking the secrets of the Bible can be found with a map of the constellations and a good book on star mythology. My favorite is New Patterns in the Sky New Patterns in the Sky by Julius D. W. Staal,
The Zodiac wheel shows how the sun's yearly ascension and descension conforms to the Bible's motifs.
biblical Omens
In Mark chapter 13, there is an allegorical summary of the astronomical omens that lead to the end of the world. They start when the sun is at full power at its highest position on the horizon to when it descends to its death at the lowest position.
1. When the sun is at the summer solstice in Gemini, Jesus predicted that some day the temple will be destroyed. His disciples wanted to know what sign they should look for to know when this event will happen. In biblespeak, "sign" denotes astrological signs.
1And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!"
2And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."
3And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4"Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" (Mark 13:1-4)
2. After the sun passes the high point of the summer solstice it descends lower with each passing day. Allegorically, the sun is weakening because the dark forces of evil are said to waging war against it. The wars are just beginning.
The sun starts to descend in the house of Cancer. It is usually a time of hesitation, so Jesus warns what to expect and not to be alarmed.
7And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet.
8For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs.
9"But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. (Mark 13:7-8)
3. The wars between light and dark intensify as the days get shorter. The sun is still strong, but the forces of evil are gaining power.
The house of Leo brings strength from the new harvest. So Jesus says to be strong against adversity and you will be saved.
11And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;
13and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14"But when you see the desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; (Mark 13:11-14)
4. Virgo is the last house before the sun descends into hell-Virgo is described as a nursing mother. There is no turning back.
15let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything away;
16and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his mantle.
17And alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck [Virgo] in those days! (Mark 13:15-17)
5. The sun has passed the fall equinox into Scorpio. The days are getting progressively shorter than the nights. According to Jesus, if the days did not get shorter, no one could be saved, so God shortened the days. Pray that the sign doesn't happen in winter because it is the worst of times. If the days are still getting shorter and someone says the Christ has come, do not believe them. It is not the right time.
18Pray that it may not happen in winter.
19For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
20And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
21And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.
22False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
23But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. (Mark 13:18-23)
6. The sun is in Sagittarius as the sun descends to its lowest point on the horizon. On the darkest days of the winter when the moon does not give light, the Son of man will come in clouds. The Son of man in clouds can be seen in the picture above. Below, the next frame shows the son of men descending on December 21.
24"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,
25and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
27And then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. (Mark 13:24-27)
7. You will know he is near the gates to heaven (the spring equinox) when fig trees start to grow leaves.
28"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
29So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. (Mark 13:28-29)
8. This generation will see these things take place. -He means his generation.
30Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place.
31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Mark 13:30-31)
In the first century on December 21 at midnight, when the sun is darkened and the moon does not give up its light, the Son of man can be seen descending to earth. A month later it disappears from view.
Orion ascends in the east three days after its disappearance in the west.

NGC2158 - Cúmulo abierto junto M35 en Gemini
Si buscamos cúmulos abiertos en la constelación de Gemini, sin lugar a dudas M35 es el candidato más adecuado y asequible a todo tipo de telescopios y circunstancias. Sin embargo, si disponemos de cielos oscuros y una abertura generosa, como puede ser mi SC de 235mm, existe un pequeño cúmulo abierto a medio grado al suroeste de M35 que no deberíamos dejar escapar. Se trata de NGC2158. Descubierto por William Herschel en 1784, NGC2158 presenta una magnitud aparente de 8,6 y se extiende a lo largo de 5’ en el cielo. Está formado por componentes débiles que brillan alrededor de las magnitudes 12-13 y se encuentra a 13.000 años luz de distancia. Este dato contrasta llamativamente con los 2.200-2.800 años luz (según la fuente) a los que se encuentra M35. Sin embargo, tan remarcable de NGC2158 es la distancia a la que se encuentra, como lo viejo que es. Su edad se estima alrededor de 1.000 millones de años. Para hacernos una idea de lo que podemos esperarnos ver al poner el ojo en el ocular, comentar que durante bastante tiempo se dudó en clasificarlo como cúmulo globular o abierto. En la actualidad se ha decidido por considerarlo como abierto. Para telescopios pequeños o medianos se ve como una mancha difusa extensa e irresoluble. Para telescopios de buena abertura, el espectáculo está garantizado. La noche del 6 de diciembre de 2012 estaba observando con mi SC de 235mm desde cielos oscuros y decidí apuntar a NGC2158. Esperaba algo curioso, y lo que acabé encontrando fue un verdadero reto observacional… pero un buen reto, ya que al final la recompensa fue formidable. Este es el dibujo que hice con el ocular Nagler de 16mm que me proporcionaba 146,88x:
Está claro que para observar el majestuoso M35 no es condición necesaria disfrutar de cielos especialmente oscuros, pero sí es imprescindible si queremos exprimir al máximo NGC2158. Y sería imperdonable tener la ocasión de visitarlo y no hacerlo. Después de estar más de veinte minutos con él, la conclusión es que me ha gustado muchísimo y me ha dejado una excelente impresión. Con el ocular de 25mm (94x), localizo M35 y estoy un rato observando sus componentes, mayoritariamente azuladas y la preciosa doble que se encuentra encastada en él, la STT134. Pero esta noche el objetivo principal es otro, así que desplazo el tubo hacia donde debería encontrarse NGC2158 y lo percibo como una nubecilla difusa. Viendo esto, decido utilizar más aumentos, así que al final opto por los 146,88x. En un primer instante, veo un campo rico en estrellas, pero nada excepcional, pero a medida que voy adaptando el ojo a la oscuridad voy percibiendo de nuevo la manchita blancuzca que había visto antes con menos aumentos, pero más extensa, que poco a poco, ante mí, se va convirtiendo en un delicado enjambre estelar. La sensación es fantástica. Veo aparecer estrellas por toda la superficie que abarca el cúmulo, unas más marcadas que otras que se mantienen imperturbables es su sitio, otras que aparecen y desaparecen ante mi vista debido a su débil brillo. Al final, como comento, con cielos oscuros, buena abertura, con la vista perfectamente adaptada y utilizando la visión lateral en algún momento, puedo asegurar que he visto un cúmulo abierto realmente sensacional. Cuando empecé su observación no hubiera imaginado que NGC2158 acabaría haciéndome olvidar la presencia medio grado más allá de M35. La emoción llegó hasta el extremo de ir a buscar la Nikon D70S para acoplarla al telescopio e intentar conseguir una foto de recuerdo. Este fue el resultado:
En definitiva, un cúmulo abierto peculiar y exigente pero que con las condiciones de observación adecuadas se presenta extremadamente atractivo.

ORION
En las noches invernales podemos observar numerosas constelaciones con estrellas muy brillantes, entre todas ellas destaca la que es para muchos la más hermosa de todas ellas, ORION. Constelación ideal para empezar una observación en estos meses de invierno y repleta de objetos interesantes para observar, visibles con la ayuda de un pequeño telescopio e incluso de unos prismáticos.
MITOLOGIA
 Según la mitología griega Orión fue un mortal "engendrado" por tres dioses, Zeus, Hermes y Poseidón, creció hasta hacerse un gigante que podía caminar por el fondo del mar con la cabeza y los hombros por encima del nivel del agua, esta metáfora marinera intuye las dimensiones cósmicas de esta constelación, ocupando más de 15 grados de firmamento, con astros de primera magnitud. Orión fue mortal y como tal, le hirieron el amor, la vida y la muerte, tras muchas desgracias amorosas fue muerto por Apolo hermano de Artemisa, la cual estaba enamorada de Orión, quizá para defender la virtud de su hermana o simplemente que estaba celoso, como tantos hermanos, ¡quién sabe!, Orión murió y los dioses lo elevaron al cielo.
En invierno cuando la veda esta levantada le vemos cazando La Liebre (Lepus, al sur de Orión) con sus dos perros, el Can Mayor (Canis Major) y el Can Menor (Canis Minor), o peleando con El Toro (Taurus). Otra leyenda dice que Orión era un gran cazador y que la madre Tierra, para defender a las alimañas puso al Escorpión (Scorpius) para que acabara con su vida, y por eso Orión desaparece cuando el Escorpión asoma por el horizonte, los sumerios veían a su dios Ningirsu, que era un temible guerrero, los árabes le llamaron Al Gabbar (gigante), y anteriormente a todos ellos para los egipcios era el gran Onuris, cazador y exterminador de fieras, con el que tiene cierta afinidad fonética, quizás los griegos se vieron influenciados por él.
OBSERVACION
Varias estrellas destacan en esta constelación:
a Orionis (Betelgeuse, "Beit-al-Gueze" nombre árabe que significa "la axila del gigante" y que es efectivamente lo que representa) esta estrella es una gigante roja, sus dimensiones fluctúan entre 300 y 400 veces el diámetro de nuestro Sol, si la situáramos donde se encuentra éste la Tierra se encontraría dentro de su atmósfera, además su brillo es variable entre 0,4 y 0,9 magnitudes y se encuentra a una distancia de 520 a.l.
g Orionis, (Bellatrix, la estrella de las Amazonas), el otro hombro de Orión, de color azulado y de 1,6 m., su distancia es de 500 a.l., la radiación de Bellatrix demuestra ser suficiente para iluminar los velos gaseosos que se encuentran en la vasta región que ocupa la constelación.
b Orionis (Rigel, también nombre de origen árabe "Rijil-al-Jauzah" que quiere decir pierna izquierda) esta estrella es la más brillante de la constelación con una magnitud de 0,1. Como Betelgeuse también es una supergigante, pero ésta es de color blanco-azulado, situada a 900 a.l., si Rigel estuviera a una distancia de 9 a.l. de nosotros, la veríamos brillar en el cielo con la misma luminosidad que la Luna en cuarto creciente.
Rigel tiene una compañera de la 7ª magnitud y con una separación angular de 9", es visible con un pequeño telescopio de 80 mm. de abertura, aunque no sin dificultad ya que el brillo de la estrella principal dificulta su visión, además esta compañera de Rigel es una binaria espectroscópica.
k Orionis (Saiph) estrella también de color blanco, casi tan luminosa como Rigel pese a encontrarse a más de 2000 a.l., mediante cálculos se ha llegado a saber que esta estrella fue hace un millón de años la estrella más brillante del firmamento, equiparable a Venus, porque se encontraba mucho más cerca de nosotros.
Tres estrellas brillantes de segunda magnitud componen el cinturón de Orión, también llamado las "tres Marías", e Ori (Alnilam), d Ori (Mintaka) y q Ori (Alnitak), épsilon y zeta se encuentran aproximadamente a la misma distancia de nosotros unos 1.200 a.l., mientras que delta se encuentra a 1.500 a.l., y su luz tiene que atravesar las ingentes nubes de materia interestelar que hay en esta región del cielo, fue precisamente en esta estrella donde se obtuvieron pruebas evidentes de que el vacío interestelar no era el reino absoluto del universo, sino que por el contrario existen vastas regiones polvo y gas interestelar. Mintaka es una estrella triple siendo una de sus compañeras espectroscópica y la otra detectable fácilmente con un pequeño telescopio, a una distancia de 53" de arco.
e Ori (Alnilam) es una supergigante azul se aleja de nosotros a una velocidad de 28 km./s. , el tercer miembro es z Ori con una magnitud de 1,8 astro gemelo a e Ori, distancia, clase espectral y luminosidad, estrella triple con una compañera de 5,5 m a 3" y una segunda de 10 m., a un grado de zeta Ori se encuentra la nebulosa Cabeza de Caballo visible solamente por medios fotográficos. Sigma Ori cerca de zeta Ori es un sistema estelar séxtupla, a simple vista tiene una magnitud de cuatro, con la ayuda de un pequeño telescopio se pueden observar parte de sus compañeras como pequeñas lunas alrededor de un planeta. Toda esta zona de Orión es muy gratificante para la observación telescópica.
Debajo del cinturón se encuentra la "Espada de Orión", que contiene a la Gran Nebulosa M42, distante de nosotros más de 1.000 a.l., es un autentico horno de estrellas donde están naciendo de las ingentes nubes de polvo y gas que se encuentran en esta parte de la galaxia. A simple vista puede apreciarse como una simple mancha neblinosa, con x7 ó x8,5 M42 aparece en el mismo campo que el Cinturón y ya es posible comenzar a distinguir algunas estrellas y lo x20 descubren el Trapecio, la famosa estrella múltiple theta Ori con magnitudes de 5,1, 6,7, 6,7 y 8,0 dispuestas en forma de trapecio, responsable del brillo de la nebulosa.

Fotografía de la Vía Láctea desde el hemisferio sur, muestra su parte central tal como se ve desde la Tierra, que se halla en uno de los trazos espirales exteriores de la galaxia.
La Vía Láctea es una galaxia espiral en la que se encuentra el Sistema Solar y por consiguiente de la Tierra. Según las observaciones, posee una masa de 10 billones masas solares y es una espiral barrada; con un diámetro medio de unos 100.000 años luz, se calcula que contiene entre 200 mil millones de estrellas. La distancia desde el Sol hasta el centro de la galaxia es de alrededor de 27.700 años luz (8,5 kpc, es decir, el 55 por ciento del radio total galáctico). La Vía Láctea forma parte de un conjunto de unas cuarenta galaxias llamado Grupo Local, y es la segunda más grande y brillante tras la Galaxia de Andrómeda (aunque puede ser la más masiva).
El nombre Vía Láctea proviene de la mitología griega y en latín significa camino de leche. Ésa es, en efecto, la apariencia de la banda de luz que rodea el firmamento, y así lo afirma la mitología griega, explicando que se trata de leche derramada del pecho de una diosa. Sin embargo, ya en la Antigua Grecia un astrónomo sugirió que aquel haz blanco en el cielo era en realidad un conglomerado de muchísimas estrellas. Se trata de Demócrito (460 a. C. - 370 a. C.), quien sostuvo que dichas estrellas eran demasiado tenues individualmente para ser reconocidas a simple vista. Su idea, no obstante, no halló respaldo, y tan sólo hacia el año 1609 de la era común, el astrónomo Galileo Galilei haría uso del telescopio para observar el cielo y constatar que Demócrito estaba en lo cierto, ya que adondequiera que mirase, aquél se encontraba lleno de estrellas.
El destino de la Vía Láctea parece ser que será la fusión con otra galaxia. Se supone que dentro de cinco mil millones de años a partir de ahora, nuestra Vía Láctea colisionará con la galaxia de Andrómeda. Esto marcará un momento de la destrucción y la creación. Las galaxias pierden su identidad por separado, ya que se funden en una. Al mismo tiempo, las nubes cósmicas de gas y polvo se aplastan juntas, lo que provoca el nacimiento de nuevas estrellas.
Vista desde la Tierra
En la noche se aprecia como una borrosa banda de luz blanca alrededor de toda la esfera celeste. El fenómeno visual de la Vía Láctea se debe a estrellas y otros materiales que se hallan sobre el plano de la galaxia.
La Vía Láctea aparece más brillante en la dirección de la constelación de Sagitario, hacia el centro de la galaxia.
En el diagrama superior se muestra la posición aproximada del Sistema Solar en la Vía Láctea, ubicado entre los brazos de Perseo y Sagitario el Sol se localiza dentro de un fragmento del brazo de Perseo (espolón), denominado en ocasiones brazo de Orión. El gráfico es mas bien ilustrativo, no una representación exacta.
En el 2011 un grupo de astrónomos descubrió que el brazo Scutum de la ilustración o también llamado Escudo-Centauro es más largo de lo que se pensaba dándole una forma a la Vía Láctea más redondeada y menos espiral.
La Vía Láctea forma parte de un conjunto de unas cuarenta galaxias llamado Grupo Local. Debido a las curvas de rotación que presenta, se cree que gran parte de la masa de la Vía Láctea es materia oscura. La galaxia se divide en tres partes bien diferenciadas: halo, disco y bulbo.
Halo
El halo es una estructura esferoidal que envuelve la galaxia, tal y como se ve en el diagrama anterior. En el halo la concentración de estrellas es muy baja y apenas tiene nubes de gas por lo que carece de regiones con formación estelar. En cambio, es en el halo donde se encuentran la mayoría de cúmulos globulares. Estas formaciones antiguas son reliquias de la formación galáctica. Estas agrupaciones de estrellas se debieron formar cuando la galaxia de la Vía Láctea era aún una gran nube de gas que colapsaba y se iba aplanando cada vez más. Otra característica del halo es la presencia de gran cantidad de materia oscura. Su existencia se dedujo a partir de anomalías en la rotación galáctica. Los objetos contenidos en el halo rotan con una componente perpendicular al plano muy fuerte, cruzando en muchos casos el disco galáctico. De hecho, es posible encontrar estrellas u otros cuerpos del halo en el disco. Su procedencia se delata cuando se analiza su velocidad y trayectoria, así como su metalicidad. Y es que los cuerpos del halo presentan una componente perpendicular al plano muy acusada además de ser cuerpos formados antes que los del disco. Sus órbitas les llevan pues a cruzar periódicamente el disco. También es muy probable que una estrella de población II (pobre en metales) pertenezca al halo, pues estas son más antiguas que las de población I (ricas en metales) y el halo, como ya se ha dicho, es una estructura antigua.
Disco
El disco se compone principalmente por estrellas jóvenes de población I. Es la parte de la galaxia que más gas contiene y es en él donde aún se dan procesos de formación estelar. Lo más característico del disco son los brazos espirales, que son 4: Cruz-Centauro, Perseo, Sagitario y Orión (brazo local). Nuestro Sistema Solar se encuentra en el brazo Orión o Local, de ahí su nombre de "Local". Estas formaciones son regiones densas donde se compacta el gas y se da la formación de estrellas. Los brazos son, en realidad, ondas de densidad que se desplazan independientemente de las estrellas contenidas en la galaxia de la Vía Láctea. El brillo de los brazos es mayor que el resto de las zonas porque es allí donde se encuentran los gigantes azules (estrellas de tipo O i B), que son lás únicas que pueden ionizar grandes extensiones de gas. Estas estrellas de corta vida nacen y mueren en el brazo espiral convirtiéndose así en excelentes marcadores de su posición. Otros trazadores de los brazos espirales son las regiones HII (nubes de hidrógeno ionizado), precisamente originadas por esos gigantes azules. Estas nubes reemiten en el visible la energía captada en el ultravioleta u otras frecuencias más cortas. Son altamente energéticas pues han sido ionizadas por las potentes gigantes azules que barren extensas áreas con sus vientos estelares. Las estrellas de vida más larga como el Sol ya no sirven como marcadores ya que tienen tiempo a lo largo de su vida de entrar y salir repetidas veces en los diferentes brazos espirales de la galaxia. Estas estrellas podrán encontrarse también fuera de los brazos. Así como la galaxia de la Vía Láctea se compone de dos partes según su grosor halo y disco, el disco también. Disco delgado y disco grueso. El disco grueso se cree que es el remanente de un segundo proceso de colapso y aplanamiento de la galaxia. Del mismo modo que el halo es el remanente del colapso inicial el disco grueso lo sería de una segunda fase de colapso.
Bulbo
El bulbo o núcleo galáctico se sitúa, como es lógico, en el centro. Es la zona de la galaxia de la Vía Láctea con mayor densidad media de estrellas. Aunque a nivel local se pueden encontrar algunos cúmulos globulares con densidades superiores. El bulbo tiene una forma esferoidal achatada y gira como un sólido rígido. Por otra parte, se sabe que en nuestro centro galáctico hay un gran agujero negro de unas 2,6 millones de masas solares. Su detección fue posible a partir de la observación de unas estrellas que giraban en torno a un punto oscuro a velocidades de más de 1500 km/s.

La particularidad de esta línea de perihelio/afelio de Mercurio es que está alineada con la Línea fija formada por Orión/Sol/CentroGaláctico, y como la Tierra pasa cada 19 de junio entre el Sol y el Centro galáctico, eso significa que también en ese día pasa frente al afelio de la órbita Mercurio, y frente al perihelio el 19 de diciembre.
Si "eliminamos" la excentricidad y convertimos la órbita de Mercurio es un círculo racional perfectamente equidistante del Sol, resulta que la órbita de Mercurio inscribe a un pentágono (inscrito en la órbita "perfeccionada" de Mercurio), y este pentágono es la figura interior que resulta de la estrella de 5 puntas formada por la Tierra y Venus durante 8 órbitas de la Tierra y 13 de Venus (8 años), lo cual es el Ciclo Pentagonal.

Situada en el Ecuador de la Esfera celeste del planeta Tierra, ello significa que se ve desde todas las latitudes del planeta

12 horas del mediodía del Solsticio del 21 de junio. Hemisferio norte. Orión portando la luz. Imágenes obtenidas con stellarium.org |
Desde el planeta Aire, Agua y Tierra, durante los 13 días que transcurren desde el 9 de junio al 22 de junio (solsticio), la constelación de Orión aparece justo debajo del Sol. Y en la medianoche desde el 9 al 22 de diciembre (solsticio) aparece en pleno cielo nocturno. Por esto Orión viene a anunciar el momento del Solsticio, el final y reinicio del ciclo solsticial. Y durante septiembre a febrero, gradualmente desde el alba a la noche, tenemos visión de la majestuosa y escultural constelación de Orión durante la noche. Empieza a salir por oriente a comienzos de agosto. En el siguiente enlace puedes ver la posición actual de la Nave Tierra respecto a Orión.
Dado que el eje de rotación del planeta Gea está inclinado respecto al plano de la órbita, así también el plano de su ecuador, de forma que el nodo inferior del plano ecuatorial de Gea está orientado hacia la constelación de Orión, y concretamente hacia su cintura o Cinturón, y más concretamente hacia la estrella Mintaka, y por eso es la principal estrella entre las que se encuentran en el ecuador de la Esfera Celeste del planeta Tierra.
Eso supone que en el Espacio, las estrellas Mintaka y la polar formen ángulo recto en un punto privilegiado del Espacio Universal, un punto en el que hay una Nave estelar, biológica y esférica viviente: el planeta Agua Aire y Tierra.
 |
 |
|
Simple geometría estelar. De cintura a Cinturón: una romántica relación
|
|
|
Así vemos que ni Orión está sobre el planeta Agua ni éste está bajo Orión.
Ese hecho de que el nodo inferior del plano ecuatorial terrestre esté orientado hacia Orión supone que ésta sea la única constelación visible desde todas las latitudes del planeta Agua de polo a polo. Y que al rededor de las 12 del mediodía de los días del 9 al 19 de junio y a las 12 de la medianoche de los días del 9 al 19 de diciembre, las personas que viven en el ecuador pasen justo por debajo de Orión.
|
|
En un lugar que esté en el ecuador, como por ejemplo Quito o Portoviejo, localidades del país Ecuador (en las que viven navegantes ecuatorianos de la Nave Tierra que visitan Asteromia -un saludo), o las Islas Galápagos unos pocos cientos de kilómetros al oeste, estamos justo debajo de Orión, que está justo encima de nuestra coronilla (corona). Esta situación ocurre a las 12 del mediodía del Solsticio del 22 de junio. Las tortugas que habitan las Islas Galápagos tienen a Orión justo sobre sus... caparazones. Quizá ellas sí lo sepan, pues quizá vengan de alguna reserva de Orión, pero seguro que los turistas no lo saben. Y sus guías tampoco, claro.
Si los caparazones de las tortugas galápagos fueran espejos mágicos los guías y los turistas podrían ver a la Constelación de Orión reflejada en ellos. En esos dos mágicos momentos la Nave Tierra está en sus puntos más cercano y alejado de Orión, aunque la diferencia de longitud entre el diámetro de la órbita de la Tierra y la distancia a la estrella más cercana de Orión (Saiph, a 67 años luz) es insignificante.
Esto quiere decir que el 19 de junio la Tierra está(mos) en el punto más alejado (o menos cercano) de Orión y que podríamos verlo durante el día si la luz del Sol no velara nuestra vista. Pero si durante alguno de los días antes y después del 19 de junio a la Luna le tocara eclipsar al Sol, veríamos a la formidable Orión en todo su esplendor en pleno día oscurecido.
Y desde los polos podemos ver a Orión en el horizonte. Desde el Polo Norte vemos su parte superior asomando sobre el horizonte. Hacia dónde esté orientado el horizonte depende del momento del año (es decir, del punto de la órbita en el que esté la Madre Tierra con respecto al Sol y a Orión). Y estando en el Polo Sur, lo que vemos es la parte inferior de Orión asomando sobre el horizonte, aunque al revés. Como vemos en la imagen siguiente, desde el Polo Norte no se llega a ver el Cinturón
Orión aparece en el ecuador celeste (como Ofiuco, a cuyo pie está el centro galáctico), y el sol del día del solsticio de junio aparece sobre Orión.
La constelación de Orión es quizá la más espectacular del Firmamento tal como lo vemos desde el punto del Espacio Universal en el que está la Tierra, un punto de vista absolutamente privilegiado, pues no hay otro igual en todo el Universo, y nosotr@s, l@s navegantes, podemos localizarla fácilmente entre la estrella Sirio a la que, desde la Tierra, vemos como la más brillante de nuestro cielo, y el grupito de las Pléyades. Y si en las horas centrales de las noches alrededor del 21 de diciembre observamos un poco más hacia arriba de Orión podemos contemplar la región circular quizá más rica, densa y espectacular del Firmamento tal como lo vemos desde la Nave Tierra. Y prácticamente en el centro de ese círculo y sobre Orión está la nebulosa del Cangrejo, el resto de la explosión de una estrella observada en el año 1054.
Saliendo del planeta y ampliando la visión podemos trazar una línea desde Sirio a las Pléyades pasando por las tres estrellas de su Cinturón.

Vista desde detrás de la Tierra el 19 de junio al ras del plano del ecuador. Entre Sirio y las Pléyades.
|
Y ampliando aún más allá de la órbita de la Tierra e incluso al Sistema solar, la constelación de Orión está detrás del Sistema solar, es decir que el Sistema solar está entre Orión y el Centro galáctico. Por eso, durante los 13 días desde el 9 al 22 de diciembre la Nave espacial Tierra en la que navegamos transita frente al Sol y a Orión. Por esto Orión también nos sirve de señal del paso del planeta Tierra por el Eje que une al Sol con el Centro Galáctico.

Si cuando es 19 de diciembre volamos desde la Tierra al Sol y miramos hacia la región en la que está la Tierra, la vemos justo encima del brazo elevado de Orión:

Transit Ritual 2012
Venus, Enterprise & the Dragon Gate
by Goro
(goroadachi.com & supertorchritual.com)
May 25, 2012
On June 4-6, 2012, we are likely going to see the oldest member of the space shuttle fleet, Enterprise, gets towed up the Hudson River to its final resting place, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, on the West Side of Manhattan. [Update: Dates shifted to June 3-6.] Most are totally unaware of this, but it will be a terrestrial reflection of the Transit of Venus simultaneously taking place in the sky on June 5-6. All carefully arranged to produce an exquisite instance of "as above, so below"...
When it happens, Enterprise will enter the Hudson River through its mouth at the southern tip of Manhattan where we can visualize a "gate" flanked by the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center where the Twin Towers once stood. The arrangement neatly reflects the celestial gate around the Galactic Anticenter flanked by the constellations Orion and Gemini. The Milky Way is a (celestial) river like the Hudson; Orion is a "torch bearer" (summer solstice Sun = Orion torch) like the Statue of Liberty; and Gemini is the "Twins" like the Twin Towers.
The Sun above, Enterprise below. Through a Galactic gate above, through a Hudson gate below. It's a mirror uniting heaven and earth.
To go back in time a little, the "ritual" started back on April 27 when Enterprise flew into the Big Apple mounted atop a Boeing 747 precisely when Venus achieved its "greatest brilliancy" as the Evening Star. The coincidence implied underlying awareness of the upcoming Transit of Venus which will be the time of least brilliancy when Venus becomes a black dot on the face of the Sun (June 5-6) with no sunlight reflected toward Earth.

The Great Pyramid
Isaiah 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
The great pyramid leaves a good deal of clues about the harvest or ascension at the end of time. In the Bible, we read about the ascension in words, but in the pyramid we read about the ascension in the stones. The various measurements, angles, and the alignments in the pyramids were designed in a way to communicate to people of the future. Words are effective in transmitting information to future generations, but the problem is that languages change overtime. If you really wanted to communicate with a future generation, then you would want to use languages that never change over time. These languages would be mathematics and science, because the rules and laws never change. This is also the languages of choice that we would want to use to communicate with an extraterrestrial civilization.
Another way to communicate with future generations is through interesting stories or myths that are likely to be told and retold throughout time; therefore people would be more apt to write about them in the new languages that develop, as well. If a past civilization wants to pass down to their future generations certain important ideas and concepts, then also it is wise to repeat the stories in more than one way. Therefore they could insure that if one story doesn’t get their attention then perhaps another one will. You would also want to disperse the myths to many different cultures and places around the world, so therefore you wouldn’t be putting all your eggs in one basket. By distributing the same kinds of stories to different cultures and religions, you would be increasing your chances of transmitting information to the future generations.
Myths can survive over languages for shorter periods of times, like centuries, but stone monuments can communicate through millenniums. If you want to really get someone’s attention in the future, then putting the information in stone will be quite effective. You could align it with the stars, which change very slowly over time and are easier to track, and you could align it perfectly with the directional points of the planet. A civilization could encode all kinds of specific numbers that would be recognizable to a future generation that studies the monuments measurements. If they really want to get their attention they could try to encode some scientific laws, as well, and encode some of the myths to catch their eye.
Well, we are the future generations that our ancestors wanted to talk to and they wanted for us to understand their messages perfectly. Encoded within the great pyramid is information about when, how and why they were erected. The whole thing reads like a book and it even tells us a very important story if we knew how to read it carefully. The Christian story of Jesus and the apostles fishing with a net in John 21 is recorded in the book of stone, as well.
First, we must consider the arrangement of the Queen’s chamber and the King’s chamber, and take note of the ascending passageway between the two.
Jesus told the apostles to throw the net over on the right side and so they did and they were able to catch 153 fish. It is interesting to note that the ascending passage has been measured as 153 feet, and that the King’s chamber is 17 by 34 ft. by about 19 ft. high. Those mathematical figures alone seem to echo the 153 fish in the net. This is the exact measurement of the ascending passage way and the sigma of the 17 foot length of the King’s chamber is 153, which means that if you add the first 17 numbers together you will get the number 153. Also, the number of 17 multiplied by 9 is equal to 153.
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17= 153
17X9=153
The Ascending Passageway to the King's Chamber
I made this animted gif from a virtual tour of the Great Pyramid.
http://www.3dancientwonders.com/3d_khufupyramid_virtualreality.php
That fits perfectly if I am using the old English measurements, which evolved as a combination of the Anglo-Saxon and Roman systems of units. The old Roman measurements probably came from a system even older. So you could say that this would speak specifically to certain parts of Europe, Britain and the Americas. That is where a majority of the Christians live, so using this measurement works out for one religion and one form of measurement. These pyramid measurements would fit the King James Bible just fine; however it may be different in other forms of measurements. The measurement of angles is based upon an ancient measurement of 360 degrees of the circle, which came from the Sumerians. The angles for the Great Pyramid’s sides have been measured at approximately 51° 50' or 51° 51' 14. Again in the ancient Sumerian measurements of the angles we can find a relationship to the 153 number again. The number of 153 is divisible by 51, and so 51 multiplied by 3 gives us 153. It is noteworthy to realize that the numbers in 51 and 3 are also the exact numbers in 153. If you add the numbers of 153, then you will have 9, which also divides into 153 perfectly in 17 times. The number 153 is a unique and a special number mathematically in many different ways, but I am not going to go over all of its characteristics. Jesus used that particular number in the John 21 parable to demonstrate many different things at one time. The fishing net number of 153 also demonstrates the ratio of the vesica piscis, which interestingly enough looks like the fish symbol that is used to represent Jesus Christ.
The geometric ratio of the vesica piscis is 265:153.
 
The entrance to the great pyramid is at the 17th level, and of course we know that the sigma of 17 is 153. This number would be the same for every culture and time, because it is a simple counting of the levels of the blocks.
******************************************************************
Both of these figures approximate the actual
( 51 degrees 51 minutes 14 seconds*) and all of these figures approximate the speed of light in miles per second (186,000+) when converted to arc seconds.
51 degrees = 183,600 arc seconds (51 X 60 X 60 = 183,600)
plus 51 minutes = 3060 arc seconds plus
plus 14 arc seconds =186,674
http://www.hol.com/~johnboy/pi.htg/pi.htm
*************************************************************
The angle of the Great Pyramid is 51 degrees 51 minutes and 14 seconds, which approximates the speed of light when it is converted to arc seconds. This isn’t the only connection between the pyramid and light, because there were 144,000 casing stones placed on the outside. They were polished to reflect the light of the sun, and therefore this monument must have appeared to be like a beacon of light when the casing stones were on the pyramid. It would have been easily seen from the mountains of Israel, and perhaps it could have been spotted in the orbit around the Earth.
The 144,000 casing stones were meant to symbolize the 144,000 that sing a new song in Revelation 14, because they are reflecting the light of the son. They are the assistant shepherds to Jesus Christ and have come into this world at this time to prepare mankind for the harvest. The polished stones that once covered the Great Pyramid are a clue to what they are doing here. Each casing stone is an anagram for tones, and so the 144,000 are a beacon of light for this world right now. They have set up the a-tone-ment for all of mankind, and therefore they sing the new song at a higher frequency so that mankind will resonate with their song. They are the net of 153, and they have been thrown from Christ arc into this cosmic sea to catch the fish or mankind for the harvest of souls.
The resonant frequency of the King’s chamber is 441 Hz, and its mirror number is 144 which is the gematrian number for light and the measurements of the wall of New Jerusalem.
The higher dimension that Christ is bringing us into is a world of light, and physical matter will not exist there. We will circumcise the flesh body from our soul and in the higher dimension we will get our new garment of the white light of the Holy Spirit.
The Great Pyramid tells the story of the harvest for those that know how to listen to its story. The corner stone that was rejected is the Holy Spirit and Christ, and so the top capstone is no longer there from the three dimensional perspective.
C = Pi D
Diameter = 2 times the radius
2 times 280 = 560 Royal Cubits
560 times 22 / 7 (astronomical Pi) = 1760 (440 x 4)
or the sum of the 4 base sides.
3.142857143 or (22/7) was the Pi that was incorporated into
The Great Pyramid's grandest expression.
http://www.hol.com/~johnboy/pi.htg/pi.htm
Py-ra-mid
Py is Pi = 3.14 (Also the gematrian number for the Almighty and the archangel Metatron {Metatron’s cube}) -ra (pronounced as ray) ray of light – mid (the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light)
The missing capstone is only missing from a three dimensional perspective and once we have ascended the capstone will magically appear on the top of the Great Pyramid.
From a symbolic interpretation of the Great Pyramid, it represents the skull. The top three chakras are represented by the King’s chamber, the Queen’s chamber and the subterranean chamber.
The verse of John 19:17 is shown in the King’s chamber, as the measurements are 17 by 34 ft. by about 19 ft. high. This verse was written in the 43rd book of the Bible and so 34 ft. is the mirror image of 43, which also adds up to the number of the chakra or seal number 7 (3+4=7). Also, if you have broken this seal and have lighted this seventh lamp on your Menorah, then you have become a part of the 153 net (17).
The cone shape of the pyramid also represents the Pineal gland’s shape, which looks like a pine cone. The Pineal gland typically is calcified in adults and is actually more like a stone. If you set up your body temple by the blueprints in the Bible, than you can change your Pineal gland’s structure and turn it into a receiver and transmitter of electromagnetic energy. The Pineal gland when it is acting properly will produce the precious oils to decalcify the Pineal gland.
Numbers 20:10-11
10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? (Rebels don’t listen to God, because they haven’t smote the rock and decalcified their Pineal gland.)
11And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. (The oils poured forth from the gland. The rock is Christ and the Holy Spirit is the water.)
13This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them. (Meribah is actually the Merkabah or the light chariot of God. {"Mer" means Light. "Ka" means Spirit. "Ba" means Body} The “I” in the middle of Meribah gets replaced by the Ka or Holy Spirit and so you are now working for God. You sacrifice the “I” or your selfish desires and replaced them with God.)
The pyramids of Giza are in the shape of the belt of Orion, and therefore they are like a mirror image of the constellation of Orion. Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert were the first to figure out the puzzle of the bizarre alignment of the pyramids of Giza. Scholars had often questioned why the three pyramids weren’t aligned perfectly, and the reason is that one of the pyramids is offset just like the three stars in the belt of Orion. The offset pyramid represents the star of Mintaka, the Queens Pyramid represents the star Alnilam and the Great Pyramid represents the star of Alnitak.
The Nag Hammadi Library Asclepius 21-29
"Or are you ignorant, Asclepius, that Egypt is (the) image of heaven? Moreover, it is the dwelling place of heaven and all the forces that are in heaven.
http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/asclep.html
The identification of these three stars as a belt is a very old one. The Arabic names of two of the stars reflect this: Mintaka means 'the belt' and Alnitak means 'the girdle'. (The name of the third star, Alnilam, means 'the string of pearls'.) It has been suggested that the three Belt-stars influenced the placing of the Pyramids at Giza, and it is certainly true that there is a remarkable correspondence of position between the Pyramids and the stars.
http://www.glyphweb.com/esky/constellations/orionsbelt.html
The Arabic names are a big clue as to how the two endocrine glands in the skull and the one in the neck are suppose to work together with the other four glands in the body. All seven chakras, lamps, churches, and seals work together to form a girdle. If this string of pearls is a girdle than the Great Pyramid or the Pineal gland is the pearl of great price that Jesus talked about in the gospels.
Matthew 13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
There is another clue about this girdle’s function in the book called the “Testament of Job”. It is very different than the “Book of Job” in the Bible, and it kind of tells us what the girdle can do.
Testament of Job
Chapter 11
12 And she went and brought it to him, and he opened it and took out three-stringed girdles about the appearance of which no man can speak. 13 For they were not earthly work, but celestial sparks of light flashed through them like the rays of the sun. 14 And he gave one string to each of His daughters and said: "Put these as girdles around you in order that all the days of your life they may encircle you and endow you with everything good".
17 (153) Or do you not know my children, the value of these things here? Hear then! When the Lord had deemed me worthy to have compassion on me and to take off my body the plagues and the worms, He called me and handed to me these three strings.
22 Rise then and gird these around you before I die in order that you may see the angels come at my parting so that you may behold with wonder the powers of God". 23 Then rose the one whose name was Day (Yemima) and girt herself; and immediately she departed her body, as her father had said, and she put on another heart, as if she never cared for earthly things. 24 And she sang angelic hymns in the voice of angels, and she chanted forth the angelic praise of God while dancing.
25 Then the other daughter, Kassia by name, put on the girdle, and her heart was transformed, so that she no longer wished for worldly things. 26 And her mouth assumed the dialect of the heavenly rulers (Archonts) and she sang the donology of the work of the High Place and if any one wishes to know the work of the heavens he may take an insight into the hymns of Kassia.
27 Then did the other daughter by the name of Amalthea’s Horn (Keren Happukh) gird herself and her mouth spoke in the language of those on high; for her heart was transformed, being lifted above the worldly things. 28 She spoke in the dialect of the Cherubim, singing the praise of the Ruler of the cosmic powers (virtues) and extolling their (His?) glory.
The shafts in the Queen’s chamber and the King’s chamber point to specific stars and constellations. This is another clue for us to notice the message or story that is also being told in the stars or the heavens. The ancient people made sure to point out these constellations that tell the story of the ascension, as well as some other biblical stories. They were the ones that showed Orion to be in the pattern of a great shepherd and they showed us Taurus, which is the bull that is charging towards him. They pointed out these same areas in the Bible and in the pyramids of stone, so that future generations would know what they mean.
In the book “The Orion Mystery” by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert, they found that there is really only one unique star alignment that matches up perfectly back in time. The marker of the Sphinx is the key to unlocking the date that the pyramids were built.
The Sphinx represents the constellation of Leo, but it also represents the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, which Jesus Christ came from this tribe. Using a computer to view the stars back in time shows that that the pyramids of Giza must have been built around 10,500 BC. It was at this specific time that the sun would have rose through the constellation of Leo on the horizon, and the constellation of Orion was at its lowest point on the horizon at exactly a 9 degree angle in the sky.
 
The analysis by a geologist named Robert Schoch discovered that the Sphinx had to be much older than the Egyptologist had thought, and so he dated it back to an earlier period of time. He thought the erosion of the Sphinx was caused by water and not by the wind, and other geologists are in an agreement with his evaluation. The Giza plateau has not received rain in quite a while, so Schoch dated the carving of the Sphinx to be made at a much later date.
*************************************************************
To make a long story short, I came to the conclusion that the oldest portions of the Great Sphinx, what I refer to as the core-body, must date back to an earlier period (at least 5000 B.C., and maybe as early as 7000 or 9000 B.C.), a time when the climate was very different and included more rain.

Robert Schoch tried to take a more conservative estimate on the time the Sphinx was built, but Hancock’s and Bauval’s estimate matches up perfectly with the astronomical alignments of 10,500 BC.
People interpret a different date of the creation of the Earth in the Bible, however the Bible only records a 6,000 year period since Adam and Eve were first put here as the shepherd race. The Earth is far older than just 6,000 years.

Astronomical Correlations With Great Pyramid
There are numerous relationships of the Great Pyramid with various astronomical bodies. The two main constellations which are related to the pyramid are Taurus (the bull) and Orion (the hunter). Both these constellations are in the same portion of the sky. Taurus is located just above Orion.
The Taurus/Pleiades Connection
The star Alcyone in the constellation Taurus marks the foundation setting (i.e., when construction was initiated on the Great Pyramid) date of the Great Pyramid. Alcyone is one of the brightest stars in the Pleiades, which is part of the Taurus constellation. The ascending passageway in the Great Pyramid has a score line on it which pointed to Alcyone in 2144 BC. Alcyone is lined up with the sun and just above it and the earth during the month of May. Figure 7.4.1-1, which depicts the major energy conduits, shows the May 2 conduit. Not shown on the chart was a conduit last year on the 27th of May, also an Alcyone correlation.
One of the best confirmed UFO cases has to do with Billy Myers, from Switzerland, who claims to have been contacted by extraterrestrials who hail from the Pleiades. Some of the best authenticated photographs of UFOs have been taken by Myers, which he claims are Pleiadian beam ships. Could these beam ships be riding the energy conduits discovered by Joe Parr?
Figure 7.4.1-1.
Energy Conduits Discovered with Gravity Wheel Experiment
The Orion Connection
The big conduit in the middle of December, shown in Figure 7.4.1-1, and first week of January leads to another important connection, that of the great pyramid and the Orion constellation (see figure 7.4.2-1). Research by one of the early Great Pyramid surveyors, Sir Flinders Petrie, revealed that the King Chamber’s northern air duct of the Great Pyramid generally pointed to the star Thuban (alpha Draconis) in the constellation Draco (the dragon), which was the pole star at the time of the pyramids creation, and the southern air duct pointed to one of the stars in the constellation Orion’s belt around 2600 BC.
More precise modern measurements have also shown that the King’s Chamber’s north and south air ducts and the Queen’s Chamber southern air duct date the pyramid at 2450 BC. The details of this discovery by Bauval is depicted in Figure 7.4.2-2 below.
Figure 7.4.2-1.
Orion Constellation.
It is interesting to note that the earth is lined up with the sun and the three stars in Orion’s belt around the 13th-15th of December each year. In the first week of this year, 1997, at sunrise and sunset the sun is lined up with the 3 stars in Orion’s belt AND with the axis of the gravity wheel experiment.
In other words, there appears to be a huge energy conduit (see Figure 7.4.2-3) between our sun and the constellation Orion which stimulates the gravity wheel force fields to totally close to all known local forces (i.e., gravity, electromagnetic, inertial, and radioactivity) and the entire gravity wheel experiment tried to lift off toward Orion.
Figure 7.4.2-2.
Correlation of the Orion with Great Pyramid.
Did spacemen from Orion build the Great Pyramid? Is the energy conduit a communications and stellar stargate? Remember, the Parr gravity experiments tries to fly (gravitate?) down the energy conduit. That is why the experiment loses weight.
