Forma de encontrar a Arturo en el cielo, a partir de la Osa Mayor.
El nombre de Arturo proviene del griego antiguo Αρκτοῦρος (Arcturus), «el guardián del oso» y está relacionado con su proximidad a las constelaciones de la Osa Mayor (Ursa Major) y la Osa Menor (Ursa Minor). En árabe recibe el nombre de As-Simak ar-Ramih (السماك الرامح), traducido por «la pierna del que porta la lanza» o «el noble que porta la lanza». Este nombre, romanizado en el pasado, ha dado lugar a los nombres de Aramec y Azimech, hoy obsoletos. Otro nombre árabe es Al-Harith as-Sama' (الحارس السماء), «el que guarda los cielos».[3][4]
En el antiguo Egipto parece que era conocida como Smat, «el que reina» o «el que gobierna», así como Bau, «el que viene».[5] Un calendario astronómico egipcio del siglo XV a.C. asocia a Arturo con Antares (α Scorpii) en una inmensa figura celestial llamada Menat. Para algunos autores era uno de los astros de culto en los templos del Nilo y en el templo de Venus en Ancona (Italia).[6]
En astronomíahindú corresponde a la nakshatra —una de las mansiones en las que se divide el cielo— de Svātī; allí también se la llamaba Nishṭya, «fuera», posiblemente por su localización boreal lejos del zodíaco. En China era conocida como Ta Kiō, «el gran cuerno», mientras que cuatro pequeñas estrellas cercanas eran Kang Che, «el lago de la sequía».[6]
En aragonés se la llama Petarruego, probablemente una denominación formada por el verbo petar y por el antiguo adjetivo royo («rojo»).
La velocidad relativa de Arturo respecto al Sol, mayor que la de otras estrellas brillantes, así como su baja metalicidad —aproximadamente un 28% de la solar—, sugieren que puede ser una estrella vieja de Población II y un miembro del disco grueso galáctico.[8][9] Forma parte de un grupo de 53 estrellas que se mueven conjuntamente a través de nuestra galaxia y que recibe el nombre de «Grupo de Arturo».[10] Una interesante teoría sostiene que Arturo, así como el resto de estrellas que forman su grupo, se han formado más allá de los confines de la Vía Láctea; la edad de algunos de sus miembros puede remontarse hasta los 10.000 - 12.000 millones de años, lo que implicaría que pueden provenir de una galaxia satélite absorbida en el pasado por nuestra propia galaxia.[11]
====== El Universo y Arturo ===== Los griegos llamaron Arcturus o Arturo a la estrella más brillante de la constelación del Pastor. Es la estrella que figura sobre su rodilla izquierda. Arturo era hijo de Zeus y de Calisto. Hera, la celosa esposa de Zeus, convirtió a Calisto en una osa. Arturo fue a cazar osos y, ajeno al hechizo, estuvo a punto de matar a su madre, Zeus lo evitó y la elevó al cielo, donde se convirtió en la "Ursa Major", la Osa Mayor. Arcturus significa "El Guardián del Oso" ---- ------- Arturo aparece, a veces, guiando a los perros de caza de la cercana "Canes Venatici" y siguiendo a los osos de la Osa Mayor y de la Osa Menor. Los astrónomos dicen que Arcturus tiene un gran "movimiento propio". ------------- Si se unen las tres estrellas del brazo de la Osa y se sigue un arco se llega a Arturo que, como siempre, está cerca de Virgo. ------ Arturo está a treinta y siete años luz de la Tierra y es uno de los astros brillantes más cercanos y la cuarta más brillante de nuestro firmamento. La aparición de Arturo al atardecer significa el comienzo de la Primavera y su desaparición el comienzo del Otoño. (un año luz son unos 10 TRILLONES(usa) de kilómetros. Nuestra galaxia, la Vía Láctea, con una anchura de 150.000 años luz, contiene 100.000 millones de estrellas y unos 200.000 soles. Nuestro Sol se encuentra a unos 33.000 años luz del centro de la galaxia en su tercer brazo, llamado Orión) ----- Arcturus destella una luz entre amarilla y anaranjada, lo que significa que es una gigante roja que va aumentando de tamaño según se acerca el final de su existencia. Su diámetro es 27 veces el del Sol, aunque su masa es similar, y emite una cantidad de luz cien veces superior a la que emite el Sol, que solo se encuentra en la mitad de su vida y a 150 millones de kilómetros de la Tierra. Dentro de unos 5.000 Mill. años, el Sol ofrecerá una imagen similar a la de Arturo y la vida en la Tierra habrá sido abrasada.

The Congress of Isis and Osiris just so happens to happen above... Congress.
Washington D.C. and many of it's buildings and monuments are laid out according to the cardinal directions with the streets running due NS and EW.
In the map of Washington D.C. below, due east is up and the star chart shows the constellation of Orion rising due east over Washington D.C., as it has done every day for the past two hundred years.
Orion's belt points towards Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and while Orion is rising and low on the eastern horizon, Orion's belt is vertical, pointing to Sirius below.
In relation to the fixed stars, the sun rises later each day due to the rotation of the earth around the sun.
The sun rises just after Sirius at the latitude of Washington D.C. on August 15. This is known as the heliacal rising of Sirius. Prior to this time of year, the sun is above or too close to the horizon for the rising of the star to be visible.
Ancient Egyptians based their calendar on the heliacal rising of Sirius, which signaled the onset of the annual flooding of the Nile. Christians celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 15, linking the Assumption to the first appearance of Sirius/Isis in the sky just before dawn.
Orion has also set due west at the latitude of Washington D.C. for the past two hundred years.
From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Orion sets right behind the Washington Monument. Setting in the west, Orion's belt is horizontal, pointing to Sirius setting south of due west.
From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Sirius sets over the Potomac River, on the alignment of Maryland Avenue. The bright star above Orion is Aldebaran, the alpha star in the constellation of Taurus.
From the viewpoint of the Capitol building, Aldebaran sets over the White House, on the alignment of Pennsylvania Avenue.
It has already been established that the Goddess can be symbolized by an owl.
Columbia and the Constellation of Virgo
The District of Columbia has more astrological symbols than and other city in the world. The capitol city was built from the ground up with a specific esoteric design.
There were many changes however, and some things didn't go exactly to plan.
In David Ovason’s book, The Secret Architecture of our Nation’s Capital ... The District of Columbia and its Federal City were arranged, according to Ovason, so that the constellation of Virgo and its goddess symbolism dominates the structure.
Ovason notes that the right triangle of first magnitude stars that contains the constellation Virgo, Arcturus, Regulus and Spica, can also be found in the plan of the Federal city marked by the location of the Capital, the President’s House and the Washington Monument.
And he also notes that the consecration ceremonies for these sites all include prominent astrological connections to Virgo...
This earth/sky alignment can be seen every year, weather permitting, around August 10th, as the sun sets down the Pennsylvania avenue sight line from the Capital, the great triangle enclosing Virgo appears in the darkening sky.
It was not as obvious 200 years ago when the plan was laid out, but now, at the moment of culmination, the alignment is clear and unmistakable.
As Ovason insists, it is plain that from its inception, the District of Columbia, and the Federal City,
“was intended to celebrate the mysteries of Virgo - of the Egyptian Isis, the Grecian Ceres and the Christian Virgin."
from p.98 of Star Names, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1889. [A scanned copy can be viewed on this webpage]
Alpha (α) Bootes, Arcturus, is a golden red star situated on the left knee of the Herdsman, the 4th brightest in the sky.
Arcturus has been an object of the highest interest and admiration to all observant mankind from the earliest times, and doubtless was one of the first stars to be named; for from Hesiod's day to the present it thus appears throughout all literature, although often confounded with the Greater Bear (Ursa Major). Indeed Hesiod's use of the word probably was for that constellation (Bootes), except in two cases, already quoted, where he unquestionably referred to this star, mentioning its rising fifty days after the winter solstice, the first allusion that we have to that celestial point. And it is popularly supposed that {p.99} our Arcturus is that of the Book of Job, xxxviii, 32; but there it merely is one of the early titles of Ursa Major, the Revised Version correctly rendering it "the Bear." Still, even now, the Standard Dictionary quotes for the star the Authorized Version's
"Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons ?"
But, like other prominent stars, it shared its name with its constellation — in fact, probably at first, and as late as Pliny's day (23-79 A.D.), was a constellation by itself. Homer's Bootes doubtless was this, with, possibly, a few of its larger companions; and the 17th century German astronomer Bayer cited Bootes for the star; but in recent times the latter has monopolized the present title.
It was famous with the seamen of early days, even from the traditional period of the Arcadian Evander, and regulated their annual festival by its movements in relation to the sun. But its influence always was dreaded, as is seen in the Greek astronomer Aratus', circa 270 B.C., deinouArktouroio and Pliny's (23-79 A.D.) horridum sidus; while Demosthenes, in his action against Lacritus 341 B.C., tells us of a bottomry bond, made in Athens on a vessel going to the river Borysthenes — the modern Dnieper—and to the Tauric Chersonese—the Crimea—and back, that stipulated for a rate of 22 ½ per cent, interest if she arrived within the Bosporus "before Arcturus," i.e. before its heliacal rising about mid-September; after which it was to be 30 per cent. Its acronycal rising fixed the date of the husbandmen's Lustratio frugum; and Vergil (70-19 B.C.) twice made allusion in his 1st Georgic to its character as unfavorably affecting the farmers' work. Other contemporaneous authors confirmed this stormy reputation, while all classical calendars gave the dates of its risings and settings.
Hippocrates, 460 B.C., made much of the influence of Arcturus on the human body, in one instance claiming that a dry season, after its rising,
"agrees best with those who are naturally phlegmatic, with those who are of a humid temperament, and with women; but it is most inimical to the bilious;"
and that
"diseases are especially apt to prove critical in these days."
{p.100} The Prologue of the Rudens of Plautus, delivered by Arcturus in person, and "one of the early opinions of the presence of invisible agents amongst mankind," declares of himself that he is considered a stormy sign at the times of his rising and setting,— as the original has it:
"Arcturus signum, sum omnium quam acerrimum. Vehemens sum, cum exorior, cum occido vehementior."
And the passage from Horace's (65-8 B.C.) Odes —
"Nec saevus Arcturi cadentis Impetus aut orientis Haedi —"
is familiar to all. This same idea came down to modern days, for Pope repeated it in his verse,
"When moist Arcturus clouds the sky."
Astrologically, however, the star brought riches and honor to those born under it.
An Egyptian astronomical calendar of the 15th century before Christ, deciphered by Renouf, associates it with the star Antares in the immense sky figure Menat; and Lockyer claims it as one of the objects of worship in Nile temples, as it was in the temple of Venus at Ancona in Italy.
In India it was the 13th nakshatra (Hindu Moon Mansion), Svati, the Good Goer, or perhaps Sword, but figured as a Coral Bead, Gem, or Pearl; and known there also as Nishtya, Outcast, possibly from its remote northern situation far outside of the zodiac, whence, from its brilliancy, it was arbitrarily taken to complete the series of Hindu asterisms. Hewitt thinks that it, or Capella, was the Aryaman of the Rig Veda; and Edkins that it was the Tistar usually assigned to Sirius.
The Chinese called it Ta Kio, the Great Horn, four small stars near by being Kang Che, the Drought Lake; Edkins further writing of it:
"Arcturus is the palace of the emperor. The two groups of three small stars on its right [eta, iota (ι), and upsilon (υ)] are called She ti, the Leaders, because they assign a fixed direction to the tail of the Bear, which, as it revolves, points out the twelve hours of the horizon."
The Arabs knew Arcturus as Al Simak1al Ramih (Allen notes: This word Simak is from a root meaning "to raise on high," and is thought to have been employed by the Arabs when they wished to indicate any prominent object high up in the heavens, but with special reference to this star and to the other Simak, Spica of the Virgin.), sometimes translated the Leg of the Lance-bearer, and again, perhaps more correctly, the Lofty {p.101} Lance-bearer. From the Arabic title came various degenerate forms: Al Ramec, Aramec, Aremeah, Ascimec, Azimech, and Azimeth, found in thou queer compendiums of stellar nomenclature the Alfonsine Tables and the Almagest of 1515; Somech haramach of English writer on globes John Chilmead (circa 1639)'s Treatise; and Aramakh, which Karsten Niebuhr heard from the Arabs 136 years ago. The Kheturus of their predecessors, already alluded to under Bootes, also was used for this.
The idea of a weapon again manifested itself in the Kontaratos, Javelin-bearer, of the Graeco-Persian Tables; while the 17th century German astronomer Bayer had Gladius, Kolanza, and Pugio, all applied to Arcturus, which probably marked in some early drawing the Sword, Lance, or Dagger in the Hunter's hand. Similarly it took the title Alkameluz of the whole constellation.
Al Haris al Sama, the Keeper of Heaven, perhaps came from the star's early visibility in the twilight owing to its great northern declination, as though on the lookout for the safety and proper deportment of his lesser stellar companions, and so "Patriarch Mentor of the Train." This subsequently became Al Haris al Simak, the Keeper of Simak, probably referring to Spica, the Unarmed One.
The Persian astronomer Al Biruni (973-1048 A.D.) mentioned Arcturus as the Second Calf of the Lion, the early Asad [Arabs had an enormous Lion, their early Asad, extending over a third of the heavens, of which the stars Arcturus and Spica were the shin-bones; Regulus, the forehead; the heads of Gemini, one of the fore paws; Canis Minor, the other; and Corvus, the hind quarters. Many Arab starnames come from this tradition. Star Names p.97.]; Spica being the First Calf.
It has been identified with the Chaldaeans' Papsukal, the Guardian Messenger, the divinity of their 10th month Tibitu; while Smith and Sayce have said that on the Euphrates it was the Shepherd of the Heavenly Flock, or the Shepherd of the Life of Heaven, undoubtedly the Sib-zi-anna of the inscriptions; the star eta (η) (Mufrid) being often included in this, and thus making one of the several pairs of Euphratean Twin Stars.
The 1515 Almagest and the Alfonsine Tables of 1521 add to their list of strange titles et nominaturAudiens, which seems unintelligible unless the word be a misprint for Audens, the Bold One.
John de Wiclif, in his translation of Amos v, 8, in 1383, had it Arture, which he took from the Vulgate's Arcturus for Ursa Major; but John of Trevisa in 1398 more correctly wrote:
"Arthurus is a signe made of VII starres, . . . but properly Arthurus is a sterre sette be-hynde the tayle of the synge that hyght Vrsa maior (Ursa Major)."
With others it was Arturis and Ariture, or the Carlwaynesterre from the early confusion in applying the title Arcturus to Charles' Wain as well as to Bootes and its lucida (brightest star in the constellation).
Prominent as this star always has been, and one of the few to which the second-century Greek astronomer Ptolemy assigned a name, yet its position has greatly varied in the drawings; {p.102} indeed in the earliest it was located outside of the figure and so described in the Syntaxis. It has been put on the breast; in the girdle, whence, perhaps, came the 17th century German astronomer Bayer's Arctuzona; on the leg; between the knees, — Robert Recorde, the first English writer on astronomy, in 1556 mentioning in the Castle of Knowledge the "very bryghte starre called Arcturus, which standeth between Bootes his legges"; and, as some of its titles denote, on the weapon in the hand. But since Durer's time it has usually marked the fringe of the tunic.
[Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1889].
According to E W Bullinger (The Witness of the Stars ), a biblical interpreter of the constellations, the ancient Egyptians called Bootes Smat, which means one who rules, subdues, and governs. They also called him Bau, which means also "the coming one". [Robson*]
The star Arcturus by Isidore of Seville:
Arctophylax (i.e. the 'bear-keeper') is so named because it follows Arctos, that is, the Great Bear (Ursa Major). People have also called this constellation Bootes, because it is attached to the Wain (Ursa Major). It is a very noticeable sign with its many stars, one of which is Arcturus. Arcturus is a star located in the sign of Bootes beyond the tail of the Great Bear. For this reason it is called Arcturus, as if it were the Greek arktos oura (i.e. 'tail of the bear'), because it is located next to the heart of Bootes. It rises in the season of autumn.” [The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, 7th century AD, p.105.]
The Lunar Mansions
In India Arcturus was the 13th nakshatra (Hindu Moon Mansion), Svati, the Good Goer, or perhaps Sword, but figured as a Coral Bead, Gem, or Pearl; and known there also as Nishtya, Outcast, possibly from its remote northern situation far outside of the zodiac, whence, from its brilliancy, it was arbitrarily taken to complete the series of Hindu asterisms (Allen Star Names, p.98.). Robson says the regent, Vayu, the god of the wind. Ruled by the Dragon's Head.
Influences of the 13th Hindu Moon Mansion Svati: A mutable asterism belonging to the butcher caste and favorable for commencing work of an impermanent or moving character. Those born on the lunar day will be weak, abstemious, skilful, fond of animals and changeable in friendship. With Moon here at birth native will be quiet, polite, self-controlled, skilful, kind-hearted and charitable. Rules rice fields and the breast. [Robson*, p.81.]
The astrological influences of the constellation Bootes
Bootes is identified with Icarius, who was killed by some shepherds he had made drunk with a flagon of wine given him by Bacchus/Dionysus. In consideration of the grief of his daughter Erigone and their hound Maera, Jupiter placed her father in heaven as Bootes, together with herself as Virgo and the hound became one of the Dogs; some say Canis Minor, others say Canis Major.
According to Ptolemy the influence of the constellation is like that of Mercury and Saturn, though the star Arcturus is like Mars and Jupiter. It is said to give prosperity from work, strong desires, a tendency to excess, a fondness for rural pursuits, together with some liking for occultism. The Kabalists associate it with the Hebrew letter Teth and the 9th Tarot Trump, "The Hermit". [Robson*, p.32.]
The astrological influences of the constellation Bootes given by Manilius:
"True is the name men have given him (the Bearwarden), threatening-like he presses forward as one does over a team of bullocks. To those born under Arctophylax - Arcturus, fortune herself makes bold to entrust her treasures, so that the wealth of monarchs and temple finances will be in their keeping [translator's note: custodianship is a suitable endowment for the Bearward]; they will be kings under kings and ministers of state, and be charged with the guardianship of the people or, as the stewards of grand houses, they will confine their business to the care of another's home." [Translator's note: strictly speaking Arcturus is a star, but the name is used by ancient astrologers for the whole constellation of Bootes and for the star alone, it is often difficult to distinguish which of these the authors are referring to]. [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 5, p.329.]
The astrological influences of the star Arcturus
According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mars and Jupiter, but Alvidas substitutes Venus and Mercury conjoined. It gives riches, honors, high renown, self-determination and prosperity by navigation and voyages. [Robson*, p.139.]
"Bear leader-guardian", meaning observer of the "Great Bear", or "The Saucepan" or "Big Dipper" respectively. Main star of constellation Bootes (= driver of oxen), has a Jupiter-Mars nature, and a reputation of achieving "justice through power". It therefore makes the native belligerent and quarrelsome, especially if attached to Mars and Jupiter by conjunction. A really go-ahead and enterprising spirit is here the rule, as indicated by Jupiter-Mars. Lasting success is promised if further good aspects are present. If critically aspected, the good influence will be hampered or made into a real handicap. If involved in legal action, such a native may lose all. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, p.63.]
If rising: Good fortune, with many cares and anxieties through own folly. [Robson*, p.139.]
If culminating: High office under Government, great profit and reputation. If at the same time with Sun, Moon or Jupiter, ample fortune and great honor. [Robson*, p.139.]
With Sun: Success through slow and patient plodding, friends among clergy, favorable for gain and for dealing with the public and lawyers. [Robson*, p.139.]
With Moon: New friends, business success, good judgment, domestic harmony. If with Mars also, danger of death by suffocation. [Robson*, p.139.]
With Mercury: Sober, industrious, popular, inclined to be religious, somewhat extravagant but well-off, help through friends, holds position of trust in large company or corporation, or receives promotion under direction, favorable for health and domestic affairs. [Robson*, p.139.]
With Venus: Popular, gifts and favors from friends, some false friends of own sex. [Robson*, p.140.]
With Mars: Popular, many friends, considerable gain but does not save owing to extravagance. If in 1st, 7th, 9th, 10th or 11th houses and the Moon is at the same time with Pollux, danger of death by suffocation. [Robson*, p.140.]
With Jupiter: Benefits from legal and Church matters, influential position, danger of hypocrisy gain through foreign affairs or shipping. [Robson*, p.140.]
With Saturn: Honest, selfish, inclined to be mean, shrewd in business, materialistic, favorable for gain and speculation and for domestic matters, but early difficulty in married life, favorable for children but disagreement with one of them. [Robson*, p.140.]
With Uranus: Favorable for work entailing quick buying and selling and for dealing with the public, associated with antiques or ancient matters and given to forming collections, associated with art science or literature, official position in some club or society, favorable for gain, benefits from friends, favorable for marriage and children and benefit through both, natural death abroad. [Robson*]
With Neptune: Ingenious, business instincts, changeable, and loss through this means, mediumistic and rather negative, associated with societies as an official, loss and misfortune in middle age which hastens death, favorable for friendship, partnership, marriage and success, greatly dependent upon advice of marriage partner. [Robson*, p.140.]
(The goddess star Sirius) In the ancient Vedas this star was known as the Chieftain's star; in other Hindu writings, it is referred to as Sukra, the Rain God, or Rain Star. The Dog is also described as "he who awakens the gods of the air, and summons them to their office of bringing the rain."
This star was the most important of the stars to the ancient Egyptians, and the heliacal rising of this star came at the time of inundation and the start of the Egyptian New Year.
She marked the Summer solstice
As a goddess of the inundation, Sothis was a goddess of fertility.
She also was linked to the pharaoh and his journey in the afterlife. It is interesting to note that Sirius is associated with the flood season. Located just below the Dog Star there exists a constellation called Argo, the Ship.
Near the Cannis Major constellation is the Columb or Dove constellation, depicted with a twig in it's mouth.
Canis Major and Columba can be seen on the left
The Dogon and Sirius
The Dogon are an ethnic group located mainly in the administrative districts of Bandiagara and Douentza in Mali, West Africa. Dogon religion is defined primarily through the worship of the ancestors and the spirits... They were called the 'Nommo.'
The Dogon are famous for their astronomical knowledge taught through oral tradition... referencing the star system, Sirius.
As the story goes... in the late 1930s, four Dogon priests shared their most important secret tradition with two French anthropologists, Marcel Griaule and Germain Dieterlen after they had spent an apprenticeship of fifteen years living with the tribe. These were secret myths about the star Sirius, which is 8.6 light years from the Earth.
The Dogon priests said that Siriushad a companion star that was invisible to the human eye.
They also stated that the star moved in a 50-year elliptical orbit around Sirius, that it was small and incredibly heavy, and that it rotated on its axis. The Dogons calendar is quite non-traditional in that its fifty year cycle is based neither on the Earth's rotation around the Sun (as is our Julian calendar) nor the cycles of the Moon (a lunar calendar).
Instead, the Dogon culture centers around the rotation cycle Sirius B which encircles the primary star Sirius A every 49.9 - or 50 years...
Since 1844, astronomers had suspected that Sirius A had a companion star. This was in part determined when it was observed that the path of the star wobbled. In 1862 Alvan Clark discovered the second star making Sirius a binary star system (two stars).
The Dogon also claimed that a third star Emme Ya - sorghum female - exists in the Sirius system.
It is described by the Dogan as,
"the seat of the female souls of living or future beings."
The Nommo Author Robert Temple describes the Nommo as amphibious beings sent to Earth from the Sirius star system for the benefit of humankind.
They look like Merfolk; Mermaids and Mermen. They called the Nommo 'Masters of the Water', 'The Monitors', 'The Teachers or Instructors', 'Saviors', and 'Spiritual Guardians'.
The Dogon elder, Ogotemelli, describes Nommo as having the upper part as a man and the lower portion as snake; or as having a ram's head with serpent body.
As The Dog Star As the major star of the "Big Dog" constellation, Sirius is often called the "Dog Star."
The name "Sirius" comes from the Latin Si-rius, from Greek Seirios, "glowing" or "scorcher." The Arabic word Al Shi'ra resembles the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian names suggesting a common origin in Sanskrit, in which the name Surya, the Sun God, simply means the "shining one."
It was thought that Sirius actually added to earth's heat because it was so bright.
This has been used to describe the origin of the phrase "dog days of summer."
Sirius was an object of wonder and veneration to all ancient peoples throughout human history.
The association of Sirius with a celestial dog has been consistent throughout the classical world; even in remote China, the star was identified as a heavenly wolf. In ancient Chaldea (present day Iraq) the star was known as the "Dog Star that Leads," or it was called the "Star of the Dog."
In Assyria, it was said to be the "Dog of the Sun." In still older Akkadia, it was named the "Dog Star of the Sun."
In Greek times Aratus referred to Canis Major as the guard-dog of Orion, following on the heels of its master, and standing on its hind legs with Sirius carried in its jaws. Manilius called it the "dog with the blazing face."
She was occasionally depicted as a large dog, or in Roman times, as the goddess Isis-Sopdet, she was shown riding side-saddle on a large dog. Sometimes she was depicted as a seated cow.
She was also given a masculine aspect, and linked with Horus as Sopdet-Horus during the Middle Kingdom. She was also linked with Anubis during Greek Times as Sopdet-Anubis. (Anubis has the head of a dog or jackal.)

Pierre-Charles L’Enfant and the Design of Washington
Pierre-Charles L’Enfant... adventurous Frenchman and a contemporary of Weishaupt, who was primarily responsible for the name and design of the District of Columbia...
Pierre was educated first as an artist, where he studied the science of landscape design from the works of Andre le Notre, who designed the great historical axis of Paris, and then as a soldier, where he learned the art of fortification.
In 1776, as a lieutenant, he joined his regimental Masonic lodge where he met the Marquis de Lafayette and many other young Frenchmen fired up by the new ideals of liberty and equality. In 1777, he offered his services to the new Continental Army of General Washington, and was appointed a captain of engineers...
When he learned, in 1789, that his old friend General Washington was planning to establish a new federal capital down in Virginia, L’Enfant wrote directly to him, announcing that,
“…no nation, perhaps, had ever before the opportunity offered them of deliberately deciding on the spot where their capital city should be fixed.”
Arriving in Georgetown early in 1791, armed with Washington’s instructions to assist the current surveyors... L’Enfant quickly took charge...
Andrew Ellicott, the chief surveyor was a knowledgeable astronomer, and he undoubtedly helped fix the precise point on the horizon marking the August11th sunset.
This angle, 22 degrees north of west, did double duty, pointing to the sunset where, 200 years later, the triangle containing Virgo would appear in the sky and also marking the September 18th rising of Sirius over the Capital. This one alignment, from the Capital to the White House, graphically unites the two most prominent astronomical goddess images, Sirius and Virgo.
L’Enfant’s plan was changed through the years, and his steadfast defense of certain points led to his being considered difficult. He wanted to keep intact not only the precise sightlines of his alignments... L’Enfant’s idea was to preserve a direct view of the western horizon for the mid-August time period when the Virgo triangle appeared in the sky... the earthly reflection of the Virgo triangle.
While this view has been destroyed, the careful angle of Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capital to the White House still allows us to identify the crucial moment of revelation.
[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
The moment the sages of 1177 foresaw, just after the turn of the seventh millennium of the Hebrew calendar and the beginning of the third Christian millennium, the alignment of eclipse cycle and the sacred calendars, occurred on October 3/4th, 2005, and two days later, on October 5/6th, the great portent appeared in the sky.
The sun in Virgo, from a sidereal perspective, falling on the Virgin’s robed shoulder, “clothed by the Sun,” a thin crescent moon on the cusp of Virgo/Libra, “with the Moon under her feet,” and “pregnant” with the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter and the alpha star of Virgo, Spica, at the level of her womb.
“Crowned with twelve stars,” suggests the return of the cusp of Virgo/Leo, ancient starting point of the zodiac, to the fall equinox.
The Red Dragon, even with all its evil connotations, can be seen as the Head of the Dragon marking the solar eclipse, waiting to eat the child, the Sun/Son, the moment it is born.
So, in Washington City, at noon on October 5/6th, 2005, even though the sun was veiling the event, the Great Portent moved into alignment over the city’s monuments. The White House’s south front would have been a good place to view it, and in our computer view, that’s our observation point.
As the Sun touched the meridian on October 5th, the whole of the Portent spread out to the east, from meridian to eastern horizon.
The first thing we notice is that the Washington Monument is not due south of the White House, as L’Enfant planned. It is offset to the east just enough to align with the fixed star Spica and the conjunction of Jupiter and Mercury. This is apparently not accidental, as the dedication ceremony for its present location, done in 1880, was aligned down the Mall with the rising of Spica...
Further down the Mall to the east is the new Moon, on the Virgo/Libra cusp, under the feet of Virgo, and beyond that in Libra is Venus.
Esoteric and Occult Goddess worship has culminated in the design and purpose of Washington D.C.
Embodied as the Goddess Columbia, who is the new face of an old deity. According to this website (www.goddesscolumbia.com), the design in D.C. was meant to be fulfilled in recent time, and was not exactly aligned until now.
The great 'wonder in heaven' of revelations occurred in October of 2005.
According to the dates set forth in the book of Daniel, Mt. Zion will be in the hands of unbelievers for 2,300 years.
The Greeks conquered Israel in 333BC and 2,300 years later in 1967AD the Jews re-conquered it after the 6-Day War.
The two other periods linked with the abomination of the Temple are 1,290 and 1,335 years.
The Muslims turned the Dome of the Rock into a mosque in 677, and 1,290 years later in 1967 east Jerusalem was annexed by Israel.
The other period is 1,335 years after the Muslims captured the Temple.

Alpha (α) Bootes, Arcturus, is a golden red star situated on the left knee of the Herdsman, the 4th brightest in the sky.
Arcturus has been an object of the highest interest and admiration to all observant mankind from the earliest times, and doubtless was one of the first stars to be named; for from Hesiod's day to the present it thus appears throughout all literature, although often confounded with the Greater Bear (Ursa Major). Indeed Hesiod's use of the word probably was for that constellation (Bootes), except in two cases, already quoted, where he unquestionably referred to this star, mentioning its rising fifty days after the winter solstice, the first allusion that we have to that celestial point. And it is popularly supposed that {p.99} our Arcturus is that of the Book of Job, xxxviii, 32; but there it merely is one of the early titles of Ursa Major, the Revised Version correctly rendering it "the Bear." Still, even now, the Standard Dictionary quotes for the star the Authorized Version's
"Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons ?"
But, like other prominent stars, it shared its name with its constellation — in fact, probably at first, and as late as Pliny's day (23-79 A.D.), was a constellation by itself. Homer's Bootes doubtless was this, with, possibly, a few of its larger companions; and the 17th century German astronomer Bayer cited Bootes for the star; but in recent times the latter has monopolized the present title.
It was famous with the seamen of early days, even from the traditional period of the Arcadian Evander, and regulated their annual festival by its movements in relation to the sun. But its influence always was dreaded, as is seen in the Greek astronomer Aratus', circa 270 B.C., deinouArktouroio and Pliny's (23-79 A.D.) horridum sidus; while Demosthenes, in his action against Lacritus 341 B.C., tells us of a bottomry bond, made in Athens on a vessel going to the river Borysthenes — the modern Dnieper—and to the Tauric Chersonese—the Crimea—and back, that stipulated for a rate of 22 ½ per cent, interest if she arrived within the Bosporus "before Arcturus," i.e. before its heliacal rising about mid-September; after which it was to be 30 per cent. Its acronycal rising fixed the date of the husbandmen's Lustratio frugum; and Vergil (70-19 B.C.) twice made allusion in his 1st Georgic to its character as unfavorably affecting the farmers' work. Other contemporaneous authors confirmed this stormy reputation, while all classical calendars gave the dates of its risings and settings.
Hippocrates, 460 B.C., made much of the influence of Arcturus on the human body, in one instance claiming that a dry season, after its rising,
"agrees best with those who are naturally phlegmatic, with those who are of a humid temperament, and with women; but it is most inimical to the bilious;"
and that
"diseases are especially apt to prove critical in these days."
{p.100} The Prologue of the Rudens of Plautus, delivered by Arcturus in person, and "one of the early opinions of the presence of invisible agents amongst mankind," declares of himself that he is considered a stormy sign at the times of his rising and setting,— as the original has it:
"Arcturus signum, sum omnium quam acerrimum. Vehemens sum, cum exorior, cum occido vehementior."
And the passage from Horace's (65-8 B.C.) Odes —
"Nec saevus Arcturi cadentis Impetus aut orientis Haedi —"
is familiar to all. This same idea came down to modern days, for Pope repeated it in his verse,
"When moist Arcturus clouds the sky."
Astrologically, however, the star brought riches and honor to those born under it.
An Egyptian astronomical calendar of the 15th century before Christ, deciphered by Renouf, associates it with the star Antares in the immense sky figure Menat; and Lockyer claims it as one of the objects of worship in Nile temples, as it was in the temple of Venus at Ancona in Italy.
In India it was the 13th nakshatra (Hindu Moon Mansion), Svati, the Good Goer, or perhaps Sword, but figured as a Coral Bead, Gem, or Pearl; and known there also as Nishtya, Outcast, possibly from its remote northern situation far outside of the zodiac, whence, from its brilliancy, it was arbitrarily taken to complete the series of Hindu asterisms. Hewitt thinks that it, or Capella, was the Aryaman of the Rig Veda; and Edkins that it was the Tistar usually assigned to Sirius.
The Chinese called it Ta Kio, the Great Horn, four small stars near by being Kang Che, the Drought Lake; Edkins further writing of it:
"Arcturus is the palace of the emperor. The two groups of three small stars on its right [eta, iota (ι), and upsilon (υ)] are called She ti, the Leaders, because they assign a fixed direction to the tail of the Bear, which, as it revolves, points out the twelve hours of the horizon."
The Arabs knew Arcturus as Al Simak1al Ramih (Allen notes: This word Simak is from a root meaning "to raise on high," and is thought to have been employed by the Arabs when they wished to indicate any prominent object high up in the heavens, but with special reference to this star and to the other Simak, Spica of the Virgin.), sometimes translated the Leg of the Lance-bearer, and again, perhaps more correctly, the Lofty {p.101} Lance-bearer. From the Arabic title came various degenerate forms: Al Ramec, Aramec, Aremeah, Ascimec, Azimech, and Azimeth, found in thou queer compendiums of stellar nomenclature the Alfonsine Tables and the Almagest of 1515; Somech haramach of English writer on globes John Chilmead (circa 1639)'s Treatise; and Aramakh, which Karsten Niebuhr heard from the Arabs 136 years ago. The Kheturus of their predecessors, already alluded to under Bootes, also was used for this.
The idea of a weapon again manifested itself in the Kontaratos, Javelin-bearer, of the Graeco-Persian Tables; while the 17th century German astronomer Bayer had Gladius, Kolanza, and Pugio, all applied to Arcturus, which probably marked in some early drawing the Sword, Lance, or Dagger in the Hunter's hand. Similarly it took the title Alkameluz of the whole constellation.
Al Haris al Sama, the Keeper of Heaven, perhaps came from the star's early visibility in the twilight owing to its great northern declination, as though on the lookout for the safety and proper deportment of his lesser stellar companions, and so "Patriarch Mentor of the Train." This subsequently became Al Haris al Simak, the Keeper of Simak, probably referring to Spica, the Unarmed One.
The Persian astronomer Al Biruni (973-1048 A.D.) mentioned Arcturus as the Second Calf of the Lion, the early Asad [Arabs had an enormous Lion, their early Asad, extending over a third of the heavens, of which the stars Arcturus and Spica were the shin-bones; Regulus, the forehead; the heads of Gemini, one of the fore paws; Canis Minor, the other; and Corvus, the hind quarters. Many Arab starnames come from this tradition. Star Names p.97.]; Spica being the First Calf.
It has been identified with the Chaldaeans' Papsukal, the Guardian Messenger, the divinity of their 10th month Tibitu; while Smith and Sayce have said that on the Euphrates it was the Shepherd of the Heavenly Flock, or the Shepherd of the Life of Heaven, undoubtedly the Sib-zi-anna of the inscriptions; the star eta (η) (Mufrid) being often included in this, and thus making one of the several pairs of Euphratean Twin Stars.
The 1515 Almagest and the Alfonsine Tables of 1521 add to their list of strange titles et nominaturAudiens, which seems unintelligible unless the word be a misprint for Audens, the Bold One.
John de Wiclif, in his translation of Amos v, 8, in 1383, had it Arture, which he took from the Vulgate's Arcturus for Ursa Major; but John of Trevisa in 1398 more correctly wrote:
"Arthurus is a signe made of VII starres, . . . but properly Arthurus is a sterre sette be-hynde the tayle of the synge that hyght Vrsa maior (Ursa Major)."
With others it was Arturis and Ariture, or the Carlwaynesterre from the early confusion in applying the title Arcturus to Charles' Wain as well as to Bootes and its lucida (brightest star in the constellation).
Prominent as this star always has been, and one of the few to which the second-century Greek astronomer Ptolemy assigned a name, yet its position has greatly varied in the drawings; {p.102} indeed in the earliest it was located outside of the figure and so described in the Syntaxis. It has been put on the breast; in the girdle, whence, perhaps, came the 17th century German astronomer Bayer's Arctuzona; on the leg; between the knees, — Robert Recorde, the first English writer on astronomy, in 1556 mentioning in the Castle of Knowledge the "very bryghte starre called Arcturus, which standeth between Bootes his legges"; and, as some of its titles denote, on the weapon in the hand. But since Durer's time it has usually marked the fringe of the tunic.
[Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1889].
According to E W Bullinger (The Witness of the Stars ), a biblical interpreter of the constellations, the ancient Egyptians called Bootes Smat, which means one who rules, subdues, and governs. They also called him Bau, which means also "the coming one". [Robson*]
The star Arcturus by Isidore of Seville:
Arctophylax (i.e. the 'bear-keeper') is so named because it follows Arctos, that is, the Great Bear (Ursa Major). People have also called this constellation Bootes, because it is attached to the Wain (Ursa Major). It is a very noticeable sign with its many stars, one of which is Arcturus. Arcturus is a star located in the sign of Bootes beyond the tail of the Great Bear. For this reason it is called Arcturus, as if it were the Greek arktos oura (i.e. 'tail of the bear'), because it is located next to the heart of Bootes. It rises in the season of autumn.” [The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, 7th century AD, p.105.]
I’ve suggested elsewhere that there’s a link between some stellar events and the scheduling of festivals in archaic Greece. What I haven’t had is a nice bit of text saying this. At least not till now. While waiting for a catalogue to come available recently I started browsing The Attic Festivals of Demeter and Their Relation to the Agricultural Year by Allaire Chandor Brumfield.
One of the festivals she talks about is Proerosia. This seems to be a sacred ploughing festival held on Pyanepsion 5 at Eleusis before the mysteries and this is firmly dated by historical inscription. There is another clue as to when it’s held as she’s found a quote from Hesychius.
καὶ ὸ δε̂μος δὲ αύτὰ προαρκτούρια καλεῖ
The key bit is προαρκτούρια, proarktouria, before Arcturus. The date she uses for the heliacal rising of Arcturus, the first appearance of Arcturus in the morning sky, is September 18. She cites a book I haven’t read for this, so I’ll have to look into it, but it seems approximately right. This is a bit of a problem because the quote doesn’t match the inscription.
The earliest match between Pyanepsion 5 in the ancient Athenian calendar to the modern calendar I can make is September 19. To get this I’ve assumed that the summer solstice was observed on June 18 as the same day as a new moon. This would surprise anyone familiar with modern astronomy, because the solstice is around June 21. However, this was not known in archaic Greece and for the days around the solstice the Sun appears to be rising over the same part of the horizon, so it is possible that it was celebrated earlier or later by a few days from year to year. If, like most years the first New Moon was considerably after June 21, then Pyanepsion 5 could be around what we would call October 21. It doesn’t seem to possible to have Arcturus rise before the Proerosia if it is held in Pyanepsion.
Another answer she considers is one put forward by Mommsen that προαρκτούρια refers to the heliacal setting of Arcturus which was, according to Columella, October 29. This would fit the data and ensure that the Proerosia was always before the Arcturus event, but as she notes it’s unusual for the setting of Arcturus to be mentioned without specifying the setting. Usually if a star is mentioned without further details if refers to its rising.
Comparing it to other texts that mention Arcturus a setting interpretation remains difficult. Hesiod in line 609 of Works and Days says “...when Orion and Sirius are come into mid-heaven, and rosy-fingered Dawn sees Arcturus, then cut off all the grape-clusters, Perses, and bring them home.” You can make a case for before the setting of Arcturus, make sure you’re ploughing’s done before he leaves because he’s the ploughman, but it smacks of excuse-making.
Adding to the confusion is some queries over another inscription from Thorikos. We would expect it to be held in Pyanepsion, because this was the sacred ploughing month. However a stone from Thorikos put it in Boedromion, the month before Pyanepsion. And also possibly even in Metageitnion, the month before that. As you imagine classicists would love to get their hands on the stone but they can’t. It’s been lost. And it was only transcribed by a farmer and appears to have a lot of errors in it anyway.
On the plus side I can at least now point to another festival and say that there’s evidence that stellar calibration was used elsewhere. Yet it opens up far more questions that will need looking into.
Science is a systematic knowledge of the physical or material universe gained by observable facts. The sacred writings of all world religions basically contain a system of faith. Yet each do make statements within the province of science that provides a uniquely valid test to prove their authenticity. If their scientific observations are in reality superstitions reflective of the culture in which they were written, these so called sacred books are disqualified as the inspired Scripture of God. If, indeed, the scientific observations of any of these purported Holy Scripture agree with the facts of science today, then that Bible is the inspired Word of a true and living God. Why? The Creator and God of the universe is the God of science — the author of the scientific laws that govern His universe. Only the God of science could cause scientific facts to be recorded in a book —the Bible — hundreds or thousands of years before scientists discover them.
Only the Judeo-Christian Bible contains scientific facts that anticipated scientific discovery by hundreds and in some cases several thousand years. The following are examples of remarkable scientific observations found in the Judeo-Christian Bible.
What Holds the Earth Up?
Three thousand years ago the Hindu scriptures recorded the earth was resting on the backs of several huge elephants. The elephants were resting on the back of a very large turtle that was swimming in a sea. Greek mythology claims that the god Atlas was holding the earth on his shoulders. But our Bible says in Job 26:7 — "[God] hangeth the earth on nothing." What a remarkable statement of fact. The earth is suspended in space. Nothing is holding it up. Job wrote about the same time the Hindu Scripture was written. How did Job know this scientific fact? Only God could have revealed this to Job. The Old Testament prophets wrote as they were moved by the holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). The Judeo-Christian Bible is the inspired Word of God.
Flat Versus Round Earth
For thousands of years people believed the earth was flat. If one went too far, he would fall over the edge. This was taught in both Hindu and Buddhist scripture. In the 1500s, the first ship sailed around the world. This proved the earth was round. But the round earth was recorded in the Judeo-Christian Bible long before man discovered it in the 1500s.
The prophet Isaiah (40:22) spoke of the "circle of the earth." Solomon wrote, "He [God] set a compass [circle] upon the face of the deep." Proverbs 8:27. In our century, Arabs spoke of infidels being pushed over the edge into space. About 3,000 years ago, our Bible said the earth was round. This was not discovered until 500 years ago. Indeed, the Judeo-Christian Bible is the inspired Word of God.
Sun, Moon and Stars — Who? What?
Ancient people were afraid of the sun, moon and stars. They thought they were alive — that they were gods. But over 5,000 years ago, the Judeo-Christian Bible in the first chapter of Genesis pointed out that the sun, moon and stars were created by God. Remember, our God states that He is the one and only God. This proves the sun, moon and stars that He created are not gods.
Eclipses are an example of what people feared. An eclipse happens when the sun’s light is blocked by the earth or moon. The moon is bright because it reflects the sun’s light. But when the earth blocks that light, the moon looks like it is disappearing. Also, when the moon comes between the earth and the sun, it looks like the sun is disappearing.
This was frightening to people long ago. Some thought eclipses happened when the moon was mad at the earth and turned its face away. The Chinese believed that an eclipse was caused by a demon or some huge animal that ate the sun and then would give them up again. God told Jeremiah (10:2 KJ): "Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them." God went on to reassure Jeremiah that the universe is under God’s control.
Later scientists learned that heavenly bodies were not alive and that man need not fear them. Thousands of years before scientists discovered that the planetary bodies were inanimate, the Judeo-Christian Bible contained this scientific fact.
The Bottom of the Ocean
Until modern times people thought the ocean floor was sandy like the desert and saucer shaped—deepest in the middle. This was even true of the pre-1900 geologists. But in the 1900s oceanographers found the sea had many deep valleys or canyons. The deepest canyons were called trenches. The Marianas Trench in the Pacific is so deep that if Mt. Everest (29,000 feet high) was dropped into it, the peak would still be a mile below the water’s surface. There are also underwater mountains. The Atlantic Ocean contains an undersea range of mountains 10,000 miles long.
In addition, 3,000 years ago the Judeo-Christian Bible spoke of the valleys and mountains of the sea. In Psalm 18:15 (NIV) David wrote of God being the creator of "the valleys of the sea." God asked Job (38:16 NIV): "Have you walked in the recesses [valleys] of the sea?" The prophet Jonah was thrown off a ship and spoke of falling to the bottom of the mountains in the sea (Jonah 2:6).
The Judeo-Christian Bible spoke of the valleys and mountains of the sea thousands of years before scientists discovered them. Indeed our Bible is the inspired Word of God.
The Paths of the Sea
In the 1800s, Matthew Maury, an officer in the United States Navy believed his Bible. As a Christian he loved to read the Bible. One day Maury was reading about the dominion man was given over the animals in Psalm 8. He was amazed that verse 8 spoke of the fish and all creatures that swim in the "paths of the sea." "Paths of the sea"— how could this be? He never knew there was such a thing. He was determined to find them. Maury discovered that the oceans have many paths or currents, which were like rivers flowing through the sea. Maury wrote the first book on oceanography and became known as "the pathfinder of the seas"— "The father of modern navigation."
Maury received his idea about ocean currents from reading Psalm 8:8 which was written about 3,000 years ago by King David. David wrote as he was moved by the Spirit of God and probably never actually saw an ocean.
Incidentally, Psalm 8:8 also spoke of fish in the "paths of the seas." All fishing boats make a good catch in the currents or paths of the sea. They have learned this is where the fish swim.
Lightning, Thunder and Rain
In ancient times, most religious scripture taught that lightning bolts were missiles thrown in anger by their gods.9 In China, Taoist scripture regarded the rainbow as a deadly rain dragon.10 In Confucius scripture, the goddess of lightning, Tien Mu, flashed light on intended victims to enable Lei Kung, the god of thunder to launch his deadly bolts accurately.11
Since rain is so necessary to life, ancient people pondered what caused it. Some tried to stab holes in the clouds with spears. The Vedas (Hindu scripture) advised to tie a frog with its mouth open to the right tree and say the right words and rain would fall.
Our Bible also talks about rain, lightning and storms. But it contains none of these superstitious ideas found in the other so- called scriptures. The Judeo-Christian Bible taught that earth’s weather followed rules and cycles. Genesis 8:22. "While the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
Job stated (28:26): "God made decrees [rules] for the rain. And He set a way for the lightning of the thunder:" Centuries later, scientists began to discern the "rules for the rain" that Job talked about. Rainfall is part of a process called the water cycle. Here’s how the cycle works. The sun evaporates water from the ocean. That water vapor rises and becomes clouds. This water in the clouds falls back to earth as rain, collects in streams and rivers and makes its way back to the ocean. That process repeats itself again and again.
About 300 years ago, Galileo discovered this cycle. But amazingly the Scriptures described this cycle centuries before. The prophet Amos (9:6) wrote that God "calls for the water of the sea. He pours them out on the land." How did Amos know this? He wrote as he was moved by the Spirit of God.
Actually, scientists are just beginning to fully understand God’s "decrees or rules for the rain." Since 68 BC it was thought that somehow thunder triggered the rainfall. Now scientists are beginning to realize that as stated in Job 28:26, it is lightning that triggers the rain to fall. Job knew this 3,000 years ago. Certainly his writings were inspired of God (2 Peter 1:21).
Pleiades, Orion and Arcturus
Remember the story of Job? Job was extremely wealthy — enjoying a wonderful family. Then tragedy struck. He lost his wealth. His children were killed and his wife deserted him. Then Job lay in excruciating pain, covered with sores from head to toe. All this was too much for Job. He accused the Lord of being unjust. God didn’t answer Job’s accusation directly. He merely raised questions concerning the wonders of His creation. Three of these questions found in Job 38:31, 32, illustrate the dynamic logic conveyed in God’s questions.
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
ORION
"Canst thou . . . loose the bands of Orion?" Garrett P. Serviss, the noted astronomer, wrote about the bands of Orion12 in his book CURIOSITIES OF THE SKY.
At the present time this band consists of an almost perfect straight line, a row of second-magnitude stars about equally spaced and of the most striking beauty. In the course of time, however, the two right-hand stars, Mintaka and Alnilam, will approach each other and form a naked-eye double; but the third, Alnitak, will drift away eastward so that the band will no longer exist.
In other words, one star is traveling in a certain direction at a certain speed, a second one is traveling in a different direction at a second speed, and the third one is going in a third direction and at a still different speed. Actually every star in Orion is traveling its own course, independent of all the others. Thus, these stars that we see forming one of the bands of Orion are like three ships out on the high seas that happen to be in line at the present moment, but in the future will be separated by thousands of miles of ocean. In fact, all these stars that at the present time constitute the constellation of Orion are bound for different ports, and all are journeying to different corners of the universe, so that the bands are being dissolved.
THE PLEIADES
"Canst thou bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades . . . ?" Notice the amazing astronomical contrast with the Pleiades. The seven stars of the Pleiades are in reality a grouping of 250 suns. Photographs now reveal that 250 blazing suns in this group are all traveling together in one common direction. Concerning this cluster, Isabel Lewis of the United States Naval Observatory tells us: 13
Astronomers have identified 250 stars as actual members of this group, all sharing in a common motion and drifting through space in the same direction.
Elsewhere Lewis speaks of them as "journeying onward together through the immensity of space."
From Lick Observatory came this statement of Dr. Robert J. Trumpler:14
Over 25,000 individual measures of the Pleiades stars are now available, and their study led to the important discovery that the whole cluster is moving in a southeasterly direction. The Pleiades stars may thus be compared to a swarm of birds, flying together to a distant goal. This leaves no doubt that the Pleiades are not a temporary or accidental agglomeration of stars, but a system in which the stars are bound together by a close kinship.
Dr. Trumpler said that all this led to an important discovery. Without any reference whatsoever to the Book of Job, he announced to the world that these discoveries prove that the stars in the Pleiades are all bound together and are flying together like a flock of birds as they journey to their distant goal. That is exactly what God said. "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" In other words, Canst thou keep them bound together so that they remain as a family of suns?
INCREDIBLE! God's laws of cosmology are loosing or dissolving the constellation Orion. Sometime in the far distant future, Orion will be no more. Conversely, wonder of wonders — every last one of the 250 blazing suns in the Pleiades are ordained of God to orbit together in their symmetrical beauty throughout eternity.
ARCTURUS
"Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" Garrett P. Serviss wrote:15
Arcturus, one of the greatest suns in the universe, is a runaway whose speed of flight is 257 miles per second. Arcturus, we have every reason to believe, possesses thousands of times the mass of our sun. Think of it! Our sun is traveling only 12 ½ miles a second, but Arcturus is traveling 257 miles a second. Think then of the prodigious momentum this motion implies.
A further observation of Arcturus by Serviss reveals: 16
It could be turned into a new course by a close approach to a great sun, but it could only be stopped by collision head on with a body of enormous mass. Barring such accidents, it must, as far as we can see, keep on until it has traversed our stellar system, whence it may escape and pass out into space beyond to join perhaps one of those other island universes of which we have spoken.
Charles Burckhalter, of the Chabot Observatory, added an interesting note regarding this great sun: 17
This high velocity places Arcturus in that very small class of stars that apparently are a law unto themselves. He is an outsider, a visitor, a stranger within the gates; to speak plainly, Arcturus is a runaway. Newton gives the velocity of a star under control as not more than 25 miles a second, and Arcturus is going 257 miles a second. Therefore, combined attraction of all the stars we know cannot stop him or even turn him in his path.
When Mr. Burckhalter had his attention called to this text in the book of Job, he studied it in the light of modern discovery and made a statement that has attracted worldwide attention:18
The study of the Book of Job and its comparison with the latest scientific discoveries has brought me to the matured conviction that the Bible is an inspired book and was written by the One who made the stars.
The wonders of God’s universe never cease to amaze us. Arcturus and his sons are individual runaway suns that seem to be out of orbit in our galaxy. Traveling at such incredible speeds, why don’t they crash with other suns or planets? Where are they headed? Only God knows. Indeed they are not runaways. They will not crash. Why? God is guiding them.
The Lesson of The Pleiades, Orion, and Arcturus
Few have suffered the multiple tragedies of Job. How could God reach through the enormity of Job’s self-pity? (Job thought God just didn’t care.) In these three questions (Job 38:31, 32) God is in reality saying:
Job, you think I am not concerned about your suffering. Well, let Me ask you these questions. Can you loose the bands of Orion? No, you cannot. But My Divine power will. Some day Orion will no longer exist. Job, can you bind the 250 stars of the Pleiades together in their symmetry of beauty and not have a single one drift off? Only I have this power and wisdom. Can you prevent the runaways — Arcturus and his sons — from colliding as they go dashing out of the Milky Way? No, only My Divine power and wisdom can.
Job, if I am caring for the details of the universe, do you doubt that I not only care for the details of your life, but I have the ability to solve your problems? Trust that there is a good reason I am permitting these tragedies. Remember, Job, I work from the perspective of your eternal welfare.
What an awesome way God chose to tell Job that He was in full control of human affairs, including Job's life!
The Lesson of Job for Us
Some write off the history of Job as Old Testament folklore. Whoever heard of God talking to a man! These are hand-me-down tales! However, the account of Job cannot be gainsaid. Whatever the method of communication used by God, the astonishing facts cannot be refuted. These scientific facts recorded in the book of Job concerning the Pleiades, Orion and Arcturus anticipated scientific discovery by nearly 3,000 years. Scientists only discovered these startling facts in the Twentieth Century, yet they were recorded in the book of Job nearly 3000 years ago. What an awesome confirmation of the Bible! Who can doubt the Bible is the inspired word of God? Yes, the book of Job has a powerful, exclusive lesson for modern man. Twentieth Century science has proven God’s Word, the Bible, is true.
Other Sacred Books and the Physical Sciences
The Hindu scriptures, the Vedas and Uparushads, consider that "all the objects and phenomena of nature which man is surrounded, are animate and divine."19 This includes the sun, moon, earth, clouds, rain, rivers, seas and rocks as being alive. Writers of the Buddhist canon also ascribe life to numerous non-living objects— sun, moon, lightning, rainbows, mountains, etc. The Taoist and Confucian writings of China contain similar errors.
The Koran, the scripture of Islam, written 1,500 years after the Hindu scripture, does not contain many of the ancient superstitions. Yet its observations of the universe are seriously flawed. The Koran speaks of seven literal heavens which are solid.20 These heavens contain lamps or stars whose main purpose is to be "darted at the devils."21 Mohammed wrote that "the sun sets in a sea of black mud."22
Which Bible is Inspired by a Living God?
The Judeo-Christian Scripture made scientific observations that were confirmed centuries later by modern science, while the sacred scripture of other world religions merely reflected the scientific superstitions of their culture. How could the Judeo-Christian Scripture anticipate scientific discovery by 3,000 years? The Judeo-Christian Bible was written by men who were inspired by the Creator and God of the Universe — the God of science. Only the Judeo-Christian Bible is the Divine Revelation provided by our infinite Creator to direct us in the path to eternity.
Polo Norte del firmamento tal como lo vemos desde el Planeta Tierra inclinado
Seguro que has oído hablar de la Estrella Polar. Es la estrella que señala hacia el Polo Norte de la Esfera celeste del planeta Tierra, el Firmamento tal como lo vemos desde este Planeta, un punto de vista único y privilegiado en todo el espacio del universo. Es la estrella principal de la constelación de la Osa Menor. El nombre griego es Arturo (o Arcturo, el guardián del oso), aunque este nombre está asociado a la estrella principal de la constelación del Boyero (Bootes).
En algunas versiones de la biblia (como la edición facsimilar de editorial UNALI S.L.) se cita el nombre de Arcturo, como en el Libro de Job capítulo 9 versículo 9: "Él hizo el arcturo y el Orión, y las hyadas y las partes escondidas hacia el Mediodía". En la mayoría de versiones el mismo versículo reza: "Él hizo la Osa y el Orión, las Pléyades y la constelación del Sur". Esto puede indicar que el escritor (o escritora) del Libro de Job se refiriera a la Osa (la menor o la mayor) con el nombre griego de la estrella Polar: Arcturo, el guardián del oso.
Igual que si señalas a cualquier estrella con el dedo, la Tierra tiene su propio dedo, su Eje de Rotación con cuyo extremo norte señala a la Estrella Polar indicándonos el Polo Norte no sólo del Firmamento según la inclinación del planeta sino la dirección hacia la que está el propio Polo Norte geográfico del planeta.
Sólo las personas que habitan en el hemisferio norte podemos ver la Polar. Si ahora nos trasladamos al centro del Polo Norte (90º norte) quedamos justo "debajo" de la Polar, así que tenemos que levantar la vista 90º para verla. Y si ahora viajamos al ecuador de la Tierra (cintura de la Madre) podemos verla en el horizonte.
Pero realmente las estrellas no se mueven alrededor de la Polar. Es un movimiento aparente reflejo de un movimiento real: de nuestros cuerpos -o puntos de vista físicos- que van cambiando gradualmente de ángulo de visión con respecto a cualquier estrella siguiendo una sección curva debido al movimiento de giro de la Tierra. Es razonable que la Estrella Polar no es el centro del Universo, aunque para ella sí -como para cualquiera-, igual que para nosotros, porque todo punto del universo tiene a todo el Universo a su alrededor. Nosotros, ahora, tenemos todo el Universo a nuestro alrededor.
La distancia entre la Estrella Solar (el Sol) y la Estrella Polar es de un poco más de 300 años-luz, es decir, es la distancia que cubre un rayo de luz mientras nuestro Planeta Agua y Aire da unas 300 órbitas al Sol. Dado que es distancia, para convertirlo en unidades de distancia hemos de multiplicarlo por 31.536 (segundos del año / 1000), de modo que son unos 9'5 millones de kms-luz (1 metro-luz según el segundo es 300 millones de metros humanos, 300.000 kms), una distancia para la que nuestra razón aún acostumbrada a distancias terrestres se queda pequeña. A escala humana, en kms humanos, es lo que recorre la Tierra en 3'65 días. Es decir, si nuestro cuerpo fuera el Sol y cada metro fuera 300.000 kms, la "Polar" estaría en un punto del espacio que está a 9'5 millones de kms de distancia. O tú puedes ser la Polar... O el Sol y la Polar... y el espacio en el que están...
Dado que la Tierra está inclinada y también hace un movimiento de bamboleo, cada cierto número de órbitas señala a un punto diferente del cielo. Hace 5000 años señalaba a la estrella Thuban, principal de la constelación de Draco. De este fenómeno han quedado documentos astronómicos de la antigua cultura egipcia profundamente ligada con las estrellas.
Hay que tener en cuenta que hasta hace 300 años, el Eje de Rotación de la Tierra no señalaba significativamente a la Estrella Polar. Hace 2000 años los romanos la llamaban Navigatoria, aunque la actual polar no estaba en el Polo Norte de nuestro Firmamento tal como en las actuales órbitas de la Tierra. En la película "Julio César" (del director Joseph L. Manckiewitz, inspirada en la obra clásica de William Shakespeare) que recrea una época del imperio romano hacia el 44 a.e.c., uno de los personajes menciona a la estrella polar y la describe por su especial fijación, aunque lógicamente tal estrella no era la actual estrella polar, pero sí hacia 1600 cuando Shakespeare debió escribir la obra, y por entonces el Eje de rotación del planeta ya estaba señalando lo suficientemente cerca de la actual estrella polar como para considerarla tal.
Las tribus anglosajonas la llamaban Scip-Steorra o la "estrella del barco". Los árabes la denominaron Al Kaukab al Shamaliyy, la "estrella del norte", aunque este nombre también se le dio a Kochab. Del nombre en árabe antiguo procede el Alrucaba de las Tablas Alfonsinas y el Alruccabah de Bayer. También se le menciona bajo el nombre Al Kiblah, en referencia a su importancia para orientarse respecto a La Meca, y Al Kutb al Shamaliyy, "eje del norte". También los pueblos chinos y mongoles confiaban en esta estrella para orientarse en las migraciones a través del desierto. La llamaban "estrella del imán", por motivos evidentes. En una antigua leyenda de los indios norteamericanos, fue una joven diosa quien indicó por primera vez a una generación de guerreros mitológicos el camino del norte, marcado por la estrella Polar.

We are looking at the Zodiac where the sun passes through Libra and Virgo. There, we find our two original sinners and the talking snake. The story interprets the picture.
God formed beasts and birds, and brought them to the man to be named. - The term Zodiac means literally circle of animal figures.
9So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. (Gen. 2:9)
God took a rib from the man and used it to create a woman. - Adam's arm is raised, exposing his rib cage.
21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; > 22and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. (Gen. 2:21)
The serpent asked Eve if she was told not to eat from the garden. -The serpent lies at the feet of Adam and Eve.
1Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?" (Gen. 3:1)
Eve saw the fruit was good for food, so she picked it and ate it. She gave some to Adam. - Eve has her arm outstretched as if reaching for the fruit. She is holding a chaff of wheat, but we will not quibble over whether the fruit was an apple or some other kind of fruit.
6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. (Gen. 3:6)
The serpent was cursed above all the wild animals. - There is a second serpent, one that circles around the North Pole every day without setting. That puts him above all the wild animals. In this position, he is glaring down on earth as if to be spreading evil.
14The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; (Gen. 3:14)
He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. - As Draco circles around the Pole, his head is either below or above Hercules' heel. The top position represents who is doing the bruising.
15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."(Gen. 3:15)
He drove out the man. At the east of the garden he placed a cherubim and a flaming sword. - We will pass over the cherubim for some other time. The flaming sword is represented by Perseus' sword as it circles around the Pole. We note that Perseus is close to the sun's ecliptic near Taurus and Aries. The significance is that those two constellations mark the two zero hours during the 4,000 years of biblical history, or more specifically, where the sun passes during the vernal equinox. So Perseus' sword is in a sense at the entrance to Eden.
24He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen. 3:24)
Salvation
What is equally significant is the fact that the foundation of the doctrine of Christian original sin rests on the credibility of the fall of Adam and Eve. (See Original Sin.) Now that we can see that the first sin was in imaginary story, there is nothing to support the doctrine of salvation.
The downfall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, by Michalangelo.
It was between 1307 and 1312 that a mysterious Templar artifact called 'Baphomet' surfaced, now popularly associated with the 'Satanic' (inverted) pentagram...
...which is a 'V'...
...which is a'Holy Grail' symbol popularized by The Da Vinci Code, signifying among other things the womb of Mary.
The Templars are traditionally seen as the 'guardians of the Holy Grail'a la the Arthurian 'Knights of the Round Table' prefiguring them in the grey zone between reality and fiction.

Templar Bigfoot
Lincoln's assassin John Booth enters the National Treasure: Book of Secretsopening sequence via a close-up shot of his boot or... 'big foot'.
In the same vein Flight 1549 and Obama's inauguration were followed several days later on January 25-26, 2009 by 'The Last Templar' (original TV movie premiering on NBC) which could not be more obsessed with feet/shoes.(There was a hint of time travel as Templar knights were shown roaming the streets of a modern city.)
...with a thinly veiled Templar red cross on the cover.
Why?
What's the message behind the 'Templar foot/boot'' signals?
The answer:
King Arthur
...who is at the heart of the Holy Grail continuum.
The name 'Arthur' derives from Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation Boötes. Regardless of pronunciation ('boh-oh-teez'), that is our Templar Bootright there. Arcturus, after all, represents the leftfoot of Boötes!
Arthur = Arcturus = left foot of Boötes ('Boots')
King Arthur is a 'Templar Foot/Boot'
But is he a bigfoot(associated with time travel via POTA)? Most definitely. Again the answer is in his name 'Arthur' whichis usually interpreted to mean 'bear-man' just like 'Yeti' - another term for 'Bigfoot' - similarly meaning 'man-bear'!
Arthur = 'bear-man' = 'man-bear' = Yeti = Bigfoot
'Hoax' = 'hocus pocus' = 'hoc est corpus' ('this is the body') = eucharist/Holy Communion = Last Supper, Jesus saying 'this is my body' = Holy Grail/Philosopher's Stone
So on and so forth.
That's the hidden context. Now you know.
The expanded multicontextual awareness helps us go deeper into the rabbit hole and unravel the mystery of the spacetime continuum that is the Holy Grail.

Zaniah is the star once known as the "Harlot of Babylon" and it rose in the east over Freedom's Perch from Washington monumental phallus. This is the Gate of Heaven (Babylon) and can only be passed by the desire for personal righteousness on a path toward the Heavenly Father in the Garden of Paradise. It is the Immaculate Conception of the dream of Kingdom Come which a mortal must pass from father to son on a Day of Judgment. It is not the judgment of the son, but judgment of the father that determines the course through Heaven's Gate. This gate requires that each rational mind be born of the virgin so that the legacy of past communication is not broken by a Samson in a quest for Delilah.
Mintaka is the third star in the Strong Man's belt. It is the Star of the Son of Man, and it is the star toward which the Great Sphinx gazes. The Great Sphinx was the body of the lioness Sekhmet (Virgo-Leo), the Teacher of Righteousness, with the head of a man looking toward the future in the east. A man's head on an image of Virgo and Leo says that a rational prophetic conception had been conceived without mistake. The Man, Arcturus, the Woman, Spica, and the Pride, Regulus, are joined in a trinity of Father, Mother, and Son. This is not a provable tenet, it is the Immaculate Conception known only to those mortals who have mastered the Agony in the Garden to set aside self will for the sake of the will of the Heavenly Father. In Egypt, this was the Flight of Isis upon which she embarked when Osiris had become a legacy of a dream. In her dream of his legacy, she impregnated herself with the intent of Osiris and brought forth a son for the sake of Kingdom Come. All these mysterious actions are not denial of the Medusa's Face, they are the process though which a mind ascends Jacob's Ladder and any Stairway to Heaven. But, for a mind to accomplish the cosmic journey it must be born of the spirit of the Father in Heaven. This was the Legacy of Horus and the Legacy of Mary's Immaculate Conception. This is the meaning of the correlation of Washington's Monumental Phallus and the Virgin's star, Spica. Death is not an option to life. Death is a loss of options for life. Yet, if a mortal can establish a legacy for generations, then that mortal will live on in memoriam for generations to come.
The sA of Egypt is Heaven's Gate through which the king has passed. The sA of Columbia is One with the sA of Egypt. Columbia's secret code is a message of trust in the Heavenly Father.
The Unbalanced Desire of COP 15 is that all people would share equally in the rewards of those who earn them. By redistribution of the wealth these fools fail to understand the stars and the religions of the world that warn all civilizations throughout time that Man does not control God. Before destroying the progress of a few to give reward to many, a fool should take heed of History's Great Mystery, that of the Harlot of Babylon and the Great City that has the Twelve Pearly Gates surrounding the Heavenly Earth, where the Lamb of the "I Am" is the True Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
The Virgo connection to the District of Columbia. The triangle is the District of Columbia. She was invented as America's Goddess. Now we have the original intent of the designers to reveal Heaven's Gate without denigrating the Immaculate Conception. This site presents a discussion of David Ovason's representations of zodiacs and Washington, DC. To understand the relationship between the stars and any City of God, it is mandatory that the logos be discriminated from the spirit, the rationalization, the emotion, and the substance. The Logos is the Light of the World. These five entities represent the Universal Soul. Anyone who criticizes astrology and the orientation of horoscopes and zodiacs is simply reacting to the redaction of the Celestial Logos that Babylonian astrology caused to civilization. All great cultures have used the stars to orient their own City of God. Washington, D.C. has all the ancient traditions of the Golden Age. These traditions are intact on the One Dollar bill and in the monumental design of the City of God constructed in the district of Columbia which is located in the place of the same name. But, the name of the City of God, should not be confused with the place of the Goddess. When it is confused, self identity is polluting cosmic identity. I do not have time, nor sufficient information, to reveal the holistic process of creating a City of God. But, I can demonstrate that the place we call District of Columbia is the place where Novus Ordo Seclorum and E Pluribus Unum were given the womb of Columbia so that they could be born in Giza, USA in accordance with cosmic traditions known to rational men for well over 20,000 years..
http://www.newdawnmagazine.com/Article/America_s_Arcane_Origins.html America's Arcane Origins By Frank Joseph Political activists of the so-called “religious Right” in the United States never tire of preaching that their country was founded as “a Christian democracy.” But they are wrong on both counts. Deist but not Christians? Yet more shocking to bible-beating conservatives, if they were to learn the awful truth, is that the United States was not founded by Christians, at least of the kind they would approve. Instead, that country’s constitutional republic was conceived, fought for and built almost entirely by deists. While the majority of Americans, then as now, were at least nominally Christian, most of their leaders were not. George Washington, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere and virtually all of their intellectual compatriots were deists. The term is not generally familiar today, but signifies a person who believes in a universal, compassionate Intelligence that made and orders Creation, manifests its will through natural law, but requires no religious dogma to be understood, only the faculty of reason with which every human is endowed.
In truth, it was God who founded America, and he gave his Daughter-Mother Columbia through the Masons, Deists, Christians, and other groups. The Christian Gospel clearly reveal that the daughters and mother arrive at the time of redemption. Their sorcery is affection for life as sentimental purpose, a.k.a., love. This is Isis being impregnated by her deceased husband-brother, Osiris. It is a soulful event. But, the guiding principles of democracy are based upon a code of behavior that requires the Greek principle of chrestos, or kindness and goodness. The Greeks did not invent science and religion. The Greeks invented Socratic wisdom, which is that wisdom that does not have sentimental connections. Socrates was rightfully put to death because he initiated a form of science that practiced impiety by denial of the spirits of being.
Socrates: My accusers have said little or nothing that is true, but from me you shall hear the whole truth. Not, I can assure you gentlemen, in flowery language like theirs, decked out with fine words and phrases. No, what you will hear will be a straightforward speech in the first words that occur to me, confident as I am in the justice of my cause; and I do not want any of you to expect anything different.
This is my first appearance in a court of law, at the age of 70, and so I'm a complete stranger to the language of this place. I make this request of you, which I think is only reasonable: to disregard the manner of my speech, it may be better or it may be worse, and to consider and concentrate your attention upon this one question: whether my claims are fair or not. That is the first duty of the jury, just as it is the pleader's duty to speak the truth.
The tenet of Egypt was that second thoughts are more informed of truth than first thoughts. Impiety was the process of denial of the sources of one's own thought process. Conclusion: Guilty as charged, for Socrates was cognizant but failed to re-cognize.
The Greeks told a story about Thales, the "Father of the Modern Science of Geometry," going to Egypt to be educated. The legend says that he amazed his Egyptian mentors by telling them the height of a pyramid. And yet, it was the students of Thales, e.g., Pythagoras, who began the process of stripping out the spirit of truth from the rationalization of truth that established the mundane sciences of today. Thales claimed that all things are derived from water and they rise up to fire and eventually into Eternal Light. This was pure Egyptian metaphysics, for Ra brought himself out of the abyss of the primordial waters to stand upon a Ben-ben at First Light. This was the foundation upon which all material sciences had been established. When Socrates opened his argument with the words "from me you shall hear the whole truth," he hung himself with an arrogance he could not comprehend, for he had denied his own soul.
We see the same arrogance in the Saddam Hussein trial today. Rational minds do not comprehend that reason is the process of "twice thought" experience. The first thought is always a feeling, a virgin intuitive experience. From this comes the notion that we all begin life being born of the Virgin Experience. The second thought is the rationalization of the feeling or the recognition of the loss of virginity. Reason (cognition of intent) is the process that balances the fore thought (intuitive cognition) and the after thought (recognition). Socrates, like all Aryan men, sought to liberate the mind from the moment of the first occasion when feeling inspired cognition. In other words, Socrates was tyrannically impious. The consequence of his sheep following him out into the desert was that Western Civilization became lost in a flood of words and books, even though Thales and Socrates were illiterate to the point that they never wrote a word. Socrates and his students turned the table of the soul upside down and declared a material science that they could recognize and decreed the primordial deity based cognition as sorcery. The journey from Thales to Socrates is echoed in Luke 2:41-52. Thales tried to pass on the higher wisdom of Egypt, but his students were all arrogant Aryans who saw truth as what they wanted it to be. This is the "Harlot of Babylon." For that, Socrates got a drink of hemlock. Unfortunately for Western Civilization it came too late. Socrates had already poisoned the minds of the Occidentals. The Orientals continued to pay attention to their senses and did not get bound by book learning. Yet, the pen is mightier than the sword, and book worms devour paper tigers, as the Sphinx gets buried in sand.
Today the National Academy of Sciences proudly publishes a book with the impious title The Last Sorcerers. Though the NAS adds a disclaimer regarding whether the NAS accepts the opinion of the author, Richard Morris, their actions are denial of the soul of their bureaucracy, which is to act as the philosophical guide to the scientific principles of the nation. "The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is an honorific society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare." Like Socrates, they deny their own soul and purpose when they reject perspectives they do not recognize. The way of propaganda is to repeat an idea enough times so that the idea is recognizable, even if the principle behind the idea is not. Socrates failed to comprehend that he was a creature of habit. By his habits he practiced a rationalization of truth, which is sorcery based solely upon self knowledge without any consideration of the source of the aboriginal cognition. He had misled himself and in the process, by the coercion of his own spirit, he caused the whole of Western Civilization to deny the sources of their own soul. In Egypt the source of all cognition was Osiris, Ab Origine. Osiris was the essence of First Experience, and founding father. We will see that George Washington had a very strong relationship with the source of his cognition. He was a Deist who knew that all religions have the common goal of getting the mortal soul in union with the immortal soul. Washington lost his father when he was eleven years old. As such, he was raised by his own boot straps. Those boot straps were the ligaments of the Divine.

The Greeks invented Socratic wisdom, which is that wisdom that does not have sentimental connections. Socrates was rightfully put to death because he initiated a form of science that practiced impiety by denial of the spirits of being.
Socrates: My accusers have said little or nothing that is true, but from me you shall hear the whole truth. Not, I can assure you gentlemen, in flowery language like theirs, decked out with fine words and phrases. No, what you will hear will be a straightforward speech in the first words that occur to me, confident as I am in the justice of my cause; and I do not want any of you to expect anything different.
This is my first appearance in a court of law, at the age of 70, and so I'm a complete stranger to the language of this place. I make this request of you, which I think is only reasonable: to disregard the manner of my speech, it may be better or it may be worse, and to consider and concentrate your attention upon this one question: whether my claims are fair or not. That is the first duty of the jury, just as it is the pleader's duty to speak the truth.
The tenet of Egypt was that second thoughts are more informed of truth than first thoughts. Impiety was the process of denial of the sources of one's own thought process. Conclusion: Guilty as charged, for Socrates was cognizant but failed to re-cognize.
The Greeks told a story about Thales, the "Father of the Modern Science of Geometry," going to Egypt to be educated. The legend says that he amazed his Egyptian mentors by telling them the height of a pyramid. And yet, it was the students of Thales, e.g., Pythagoras, who began the process of stripping out the spirit of truth from the rationalization of truth that established the mundane sciences of today. Thales claimed that all things are derived from water and they rise up to fire and eventually into Eternal Light. This was pure Egyptian metaphysics, for Ra brought himself out of the abyss of the primordial waters to stand upon a Ben-ben at First Light. This was the foundation upon which all material sciences had been established. When Socrates opened his argument with the words "from me you shall hear the whole truth," he hung himself with an arrogance he could not comprehend, for he had denied his own soul.
We see the same arrogance in the Saddam Hussein trial today. Rational minds do not comprehend that reason is the process of "twice thought" experience. The first thought is always a feeling, a virgin intuitive experience. From this comes the notion that we all begin life being born of the Virgin Experience. The second thought is the rationalization of the feeling or the recognition of the loss of virginity. Reason (cognition of intent) is the process that balances the fore thought (intuitive cognition) and the after thought (recognition). Socrates, like all Aryan men, sought to liberate the mind from the moment of the first occasion when feeling inspired cognition. In other words, Socrates was tyrannically impious. The consequence of his sheep following him out into the desert was that Western Civilization became lost in a flood of words and books, even though Thales and Socrates were illiterate to the point that they never wrote a word. Socrates and his students turned the table of the soul upside down and declared a material science that they could recognize and decreed the primordial deity based cognition as sorcery. The journey from Thales to Socrates is echoed in Luke 2:41-52. Thales tried to pass on the higher wisdom of Egypt, but his students were all arrogant Aryans who saw truth as what they wanted it to be. This is the "Harlot of Babylon." For that, Socrates got a drink of hemlock. Unfortunately for Western Civilization it came too late. Socrates had already poisoned the minds of the Occidentals. The Orientals continued to pay attention to their senses and did not get bound by book learning. Yet, the pen is mightier than the sword, and book worms devour paper tigers, as the Sphinx gets buried in sand.
Today the National Academy of Sciences proudly publishes a book with the impious title The Last Sorcerers. Though the NAS adds a disclaimer regarding whether the NAS accepts the opinion of the author, Richard Morris, their actions are denial of the soul of their bureaucracy, which is to act as the philosophical guide to the scientific principles of the nation. "The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is an honorific society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare." Like Socrates, they deny their own soul and purpose when they reject perspectives they do not recognize. The way of propaganda is to repeat an idea enough times so that the idea is recognizable, even if the principle behind the idea is not. Socrates failed to comprehend that he was a creature of habit. By his habits he practiced a rationalization of truth, which is sorcery based solely upon self knowledge without any consideration of the source of the aboriginal cognition. He had misled himself and in the process, by the coercion of his own spirit, he caused the whole of Western Civilization to deny the sources of their own soul. In Egypt the source of all cognition was Osiris, Ab Origine. Osiris was the essence of First Experience, and founding father. We will see that George Washington had a very strong relationship with the source of his cognition. He was a Deist who knew that all religions have the common goal of getting the mortal soul in union with the immortal soul. Washington lost his father when he was eleven years old. As such, he was raised by his own boot straps. Those boot straps were the ligaments of the Divine.
In order to establish a City of the God of Government it is mandatory that the urban plan incorporate the Cosmic Design, otherwise the city is governed by chaos and it is without judgment, or worse it becomes a lair for tyrants and pirates. The urban planners of all great civil enterprises have understood this fundamental essence. In a city dedicated to the Gods of Government special tasks must be performed because of the undeniable corruptive power of governing power. Planners of the Cities of God have to put cosmic order in their streets so that the King of Kings remains on the Throne of Truth. Consider the many tyrants who have tasted power without an appreciation for Cosmic Truth and you will see many nations at war. Was Giza, USA a Sacred Site, or was Giza, USA a commercial site, or was Giza, USA a pasture of good times? The way to find out is to unravel the lay of the Rose Line.
In Washington D.C. the earth bound Rose Line runs between the Jefferson Memorial and the Presidential Mansion along the Prime Meridian of the new country. The short north-south aspect was dictated by the need to incorporate the great civilizing influence of the Native American and Egyptian mentors who taught their people that the soul was composed of five parts, Water, Earth, Air, Fire, and Light.. The west triangle off the Rose Line dictates the width and breadth of the mall. Lincoln, being a fallen hero needs to be memorialized in the west. Freedom, being the goddess of the New World Order needs to be on a pedestal to motherhood in the east. The soul matures during the experience of life. If the individual does not make a mockery of the trial of life the soul of the individual will merge all the apexes of the pentahedron into the highest apex. This is the point where the four created parts of the soul merge into the Eternal Light that is the essence of the Universal Being. To be One with God is a lofty goal, for sure. But, to deny the potential of one's own soul is simply a path to perdition. That is why great cultures have always crated Stairways to Heaven. That is also why the crystal pentahedron on the Washington mall is hidden in plane sight rising high above the grassy knoll upon the memorial phallus of the First Father of the nation for which Washington is the Rose Line and Capitol. Most people see the great obelisk, but to see the crystal pentahedron an individual must learn how to utilize the All Seeing Eye. The Beatles made the pathway to the top of heaven popular in a song about Mother Mary speaking words of wisdom, let it be. That is how we become adepts at cosmic accomplishments. We let the accomplishment unfold within us as we witness the All Seeing Eye through us in such manner that our own example is the example of heavenly righteousness. It is this spirit of righteous freedom that ruled the urban planners when they set out to raise an Eternal city of God out swamp lands of Maryland and Virginia.
Like Giza the soul of America needs cosmic alignment. The south is the physical being, the baboon, the body soul, and it is asexual. Thus, the Jefferson Memorial is a feminine monumental design dedicated to a masculine personality. That was Jefferson. The west is the land of the Ka. It is the eternal material essence. Our genes carry the Ka of billions of years of the ascending soul from one generation to the next. When we die we return to the Ka. Thus, the president who most immortalizes death as a resurrected spirit belongs in the west. No president comes close to Lincoln in this regard because he took the holocaust of the Civil War and made it an example of the United States of America. That is the Ka of our land. The north is the land of the mind, Imsety. It is here that we must place the president's mansion. What the country needs most in this mansion is a mind for the ascending soul of America. This is the House of Seth and the House of Horus. These two gods of Liberalism and Conservatism must perpetually cycle through the mansion to maintain balance throughout all the land for all ages. The final point on the plan of creation is the east. It is the direction of future rising stars. It is also the direction of the gaze of the Sphinx and the place where Wise Men see the rising stars of kings to come. This is the direction of Kingdom Come. This is the future of the intent present at the Moment of the First Occasion when the city designers set about to accomplish the will of God. On the rotunda of the Capitol stands the dream of Kingdom Come, she is a Goddess called Freedom and she is the spirit of the Native Peoples of the Land of the Free. This spirit still reverberates in the land even though the overt traditions of the Native Peoples remain hidden from the view of impious fools.
The four compass points are visible in the codex of the urban grid of Washington. And they were not placed by accident or by ruminating cows. They are intentional. There is one other point of prime interest. It is the monument at the center. The obelisk is the phallus of the God Father. He was George Washington, whose name carries on under his monument. That monument points skyward to show the way we must all strive toward. Once we can see the pyramid of the soul on the mall in Washington, we can merge all the elements of creation, body, earth, mind, and spirit into a vision of the divine. To get there we have to rise on the wings of the eagle. That eagle has the Seal of Solomon on its obverse and the vision of God on its reverse. It is the Eye of Oneness. The magic of paying attention will overcome chaos, doubt, and denial. Eventually the Great Man with the crown of innocence will walk with the Heavenly Host.
The five primary stars chosen to tell the story of the birth of the New Age are Regulus, Spica, Arcturus, Zaniah, and Mintaka, but the whole of the heavens is implied by the destiny of all Great Men. The axiom "as above, so below" must be applied in the projection down to earth. That means we must project the stars down to the earth as they are seen from beyond the stars. The image of the Potter's Field shown above is the mirror image of the Potter's Field in the District of Columbia. It is what we see when we turn our back to Mother Earth and face the heavens. This is the major stumbling block of all cosmic research. We want to project what we see onto the ancestral monuments. But, having taken our hand from the play we fall on our back sides to the Redemptoris Mater.
The Redemptoris Mater Chapelof Pope John Paul II shows Christ at the center of a revolving field of stars. This is the location of Polaris at the north pole. It shows Christ with his back to the heavens as he opens his arms to the four apostles before him. This is a crystal pentahedron of the Cosmic Soul in which the Light of the World comes back down to earth. This is the meaning of salvation.
The view from the heavens through the star field toward the earth at Washington D.C. is shown by the following correspondences: Washington monument is Spica, Lincoln Memorial is Regulus, and the White House is Arcturus. The Jefferson memorial is a mirror image of the earthward projection. It says, "as above, so below" as a doubling unto the double of the Redemptoris Mater symbolized by the rotunda of the Jefferson Memorial. That projection represents the Birth of a Nation under Heaven on July 4, 1776.
More proof of the Birth of Kingdom Come? Why does the eastward line point through the Capitol at slightly less than one degree north of east? The only star that hits that alignment is Zaniah at the back of the head of Virgo. Zaniah was the Harlot of Babylon and it was the location of Uranus in the circular horoscope of Denderah. The metaphor at Denderah was the Dream of Kingdom Come. Did the Masonic urban designers want to restore the Harlot of Babylon? Would such a timeless moment memorialize the birth of a nation? In Egypt is was the Birth of the Age of Pisces. In America on July 4, 1776 it was Novus Ordo Seclorum meaning "thus is born a new order of the ages." These metaphors use the same stars and it is difficult not to see the same Eyes of the Gods. How could expatriates of England, France, and the rest of Europe see the ancient Egyptian message when Napoleon had yet to go to Egypt and inaugurate Egyptology? There must be a simple explanation. And it may be that the consequence of using stars to forecast the destiny of a new nation results in the founders of the new nation utilizing the Eyes of the Gods to establish a birthplace on earth as it is in the heavens.
The design of the mall of Washington was simply a birth chart for a nation. The most important celestial alignment is the one that reveals the Time of the Chart. That means that the east-west line is actually a "Time Line." It points to a specific time in the east and a specific time in the west. If it pointed due east-west that would provide a time of year for one of the equinoxes. Since the city is a government city we can exclude the vernal equinox in Pisces. The autumn equinox marked the astrological entrance into the Judgment Hall of Libra. This is not the celestial house of Libra on the zodiac it is the astrological house on the birth chart. By virtue of the precession we can unite the cosmic time with the horoscope time. Zaniah was just under 1 degree north of the autumn equinox on July 4, 1776. Thus, the offset is revealing where the vernal equinox was on the birth chart for July 4, 1776.
At 11:21 am on July 4, 1776 the Harlot of Babylon, Zaniah, aligned with the Statue of Freedom as viewed from the Washington Monument. With Saturn at her back, it was time for a Virgin birth. Neptune was at the top of her head as if he were lifting her out of the cosmic abyss. According to the historical records, Neptune had yet to become a twinkle in the eyes of man.
At 4:33 pm on July 4, 1776, Mintaka aligned with the Lincoln Memorial as would have been viewed from the Washington Monument. Above the head of Orion were Jupiter and Venus on the legs of the male Gemini and Mars was between the horns of the ancient Bull. Above the Eye of the Bull, Aldebaran, sat Uranus, the wandering star that carries the name of the Father of Time. As Uranus was setting in the west, his son, Saturn was just below the horizon preparing to rise in the east. Above Mintaka was the Son of Time, Jupiter, in conjunction with the Daughter of Love, Venus. These alignment would have been well known an well researched before picking the date of the birth of the first nation to carry the Greek promise of Freedom to a democratic society of man. The eyes of the gods said, "Annuit Coeptis."
Square on the zenith at the rising of Zaniah a Good Shepherd climbed a mountain with the plane of the earth fortified under his feet with a Grand Conjunction of five planets and the Sun. This is the return of Elijah at the Gateway of Men.
Directly opposite the Good Shepherd and at the Gateway of Gods the nadir rested in the Southern Crown beneath the sign witnessed by Constantine I (the Great) on the last night before he earned the title of Emperor of Rome by telling his soldiers, "In this sign you shall conquer." The sign for Constantine was a grand conjunction of planets stretching from Aquarius to Sagittarius. On July 4, 1776 as Zaniah rose in the east three wandering stars marked the ancient place of reincarnation, the Moon, Pluto, and the Earth, whose presence is shown by her shadow in the eyes of the Sage. Above the gateway a child in swaddling cloths in the mouth of Quetzalcoatl and a man wrestling with a serpent with one foot on the earth and one foot in the sea crushes the Great Red Dragon under his feet. The Great Red Dragon is the unbalanced desire of the Harlot of Babylon. But, "in this sign you shall conquer" means that a boy become a man when he can liberate unbalanced desire with the Virgin's Child with the hand of iron. Justice was born that day. And justice is born every day that Unbalanced Desire is divided into Balanced Desire. This is the word of god shown in the hieroglyph for neter between the Red Crown and Anubis.
