Los Carmelitas descalzos obtuvieron un Breve apostólico de Paulo V para edificar conventos de su Orden en cualquier parte de la Cristiandad; fue este el primero que fundaron en la última parte del Monte Quirinal el año de 1606.
La iglesia se fundó en 1605 como una capilla dedicada a san Pablo para los carmelitas descalzos. La propia orden dotó de fondos a la obra del edificio hasta el descubrimiento en las excavaciones de la escultura conocida como el Hermafrodita Borghese. Scipione Borghese se apropió de ella, pero a cambio, y quizá para compensar su pérdida de influencia debido a la muerte de su tío y patrón, financió el resto de la obra de la fachada y prestó a la orden a su arquitecto, Giovanni Battista Soria. Estas concesiones, sin embargo, sólo se llevaron a efecto en 1624, aunque la obra se acabó dos años más tarde.
Después de la victoria católica en la batalla de la Montaña Blanca en 1620, que hizo retroceder la Reforma en Bohemia, la iglesia fue consagrada de nuevo a la Virgen María. Una imagen maltrecha había sido recuperada del ámbito de aquella batalla por Fray Domingo de Jesús María, de dicha Orden, de las ruinas de la casa de campo de un noble cristiano bohemio, a la cual se le atribuyó la victoria, llamándola Santa María de la Victoria. La imagen fue llevada a Roma por Fray Domingo, depositándose en Santa María la Mayor en presencia de Gregorio XV.
El nombre de Santa María de la Victoria, se dio ulteriormente, en conmemoración por haber reconquistado el emperador Fernando I la ciudad de Praga en 1671. Estandartes turcos capturados en el Sitio de Viena de 1683 cuelgan en la iglesia, como parte de este tema victorioso.
La iglesia es la única estructura diseñada y completada por el arquitecto del Barroco temprano, Carlo Maderno, aunque el interior padeció un fuego en 1833 y requirió una restauración. Su fachada, sin embargo, fue erigida por Soria en vida de Maderno (1624-1626), mostrando la inconfundible influencia de la cercana Santa Susanna de Maderno.
Su interior tiene una sola nave, amplia, bajo una bóveda segmentada baja, con tres capillas laterales interconectadas detrás de arcos separados por colosales pilastras corintias con capiteles dorados que apoyan un rico entablamento. Revestimientos de mármol que contrastan entre sí están enriquecidos con ángeles y putti de estuco blanco y dorado en bulto redondo. El interior fue enriquecido progresivamente después de la muerte de Maderno; su bóveda fue pintada al fresco en 1663 con temas triunfales dentro de compartimentos con marcos ficticios: La Virgen María triunfa sobre la Herejía y Caída de los ángeles rebeldes ejecutados por Giovanni Domenico Cerrini.
Sin duda, parte de la fama de este templo se debe a albergar una de las obras maestras del Barroco, la capilla Cornaro, espectacular y teatral espacio presidido por el grupo escultórico que representa el Éxtasis de Santa Teresa, de Gian Lorenzo Bernini, quizá la obra más conocida de este autor en el campo de la escultura. En la capilla situada frente a esta, dedicada a San José, se encuentra un grupo escultórico que representa el tema del Sueño de San José, obra del escultor Domenico Guidi, que se inspira en la obra de Bernini delante de la cual se halla.1

In 1976, Hugues Delautre, one of the Franciscan fathers charged with stewardship of the Vézelay sanctuary, discovered that beyond the customary east-west orientation of the structure, the architecture of La Madeleine incorporates the relative positions of the Earth and the Sun into its design. Every June, just before the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, the astronomical dimensions of the church are revealed as the sun reaches its highest point of the year, at local noon on the summer solstice, when the sunlight coming through the southern clerestory windows casts a series of illuminated spots precisely along the longitudinal center of the nave floor.[13][14][15][16][17]

As said in the movie Prometheus: "Big things have small beginnings"...
It was the day before the release of Prometheus on June 8, 2012 that a big thing indeed had a small beginning. The Oculus Rift - avirtual reality head-mounted display - was revealed to the general public at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on June 5-7. Tellingly the occasion came accompanied by a rare celestial alignment called the Transit of Venus, the biggest celestial event of the year. It was a "magical" time when things were very much in alignment. "As above, so below"...
As you can see, the Oculus Rift was largely hidden behind other flashier Transit Ritual events when all this was happening. It was a very small beginning of a very big thing.
* * *
Per usual, I'm going to approach the subject from a multicontextual/synchronistic angle, showing my own reasons for why I think it's a big deal.
Simply put, Virtual Reality (VR) is about to change the world, largely thanks to the breakthroughs made by a little Kickstarter-funded company called Oculus founded by a young guy named Palmer Luckey. (Oculus VR was bought by Facebook earlier this year, officially bringing VR into the mainstream.)
Numerous companies have tried VR before and failed. The graphics were too pixelated and worse the lag in the interface response time was making people sick. The technology was simply not advanced enough back then to do anything about it. It's only in the past few years that these issues became solvable by cutting edge technology.
Virtual Realityis being born as we speak. What's happening now... is the birth of a new world.
That's no exaggeration. Can you now imagine living in a world without the internet? The smart phone? After the birth and rapid spread of VR, that's how we will look back at the the world as it exists now, living without any VR to speak of around us. The original iPhone was released in 2008, look at how far we've come in just a few years. It's the same kind of big shift that's about to happen, with much more profound implications.
Cyberspace is amazing and real, but it lacks the immersiveness of VR. If you can feel you're living inside a digital virtual world, then who is to say it's not a "real" world? Who is to say this physical world we are living in is not a virtual world to begin with? And if it's a whole new reality that is being born via VR, as the name "Rift" was intended to imply (i.e. a rift between this world and the virtual world), then it is a "Big Bang" that's taking place now or about to take place.
Big things have small beginnings. A whole new reality has a small beginning too.
Sounding too grandiose and cosmic? Perhaps, but multicontextually we could even infer that the "end" of the Mayan calendar on the December solstice 2012, marking the end of an age and the beginning of another, had a lot to do with the Birth of VR via the Oculus Rift.
The Oculus Rift didn't just burst onto the scene in the year 2012, it did so exactly when the biggest celestial event of the year took place, i.e. the Transit of Venus, right at the edge of the Milky Way near the Galactic Anticenter...
...which is the opposite point from the Galactic Center regionpopularly associated with the "end" of the Mayan calendar.
That's the so-called "Galactic Alignment"... often said to signify cosmic rebirth from the Dark Rift underworld (called "Xibabla" by the Maya).
Dark Rift = Oculus Rift
"Dark Rift"... as in Oculus Rift
Galactic Center = massive Black Hole = hole/opening = "oculus"
[The Oculus Rift]
What's really telling here is the fact that the word "Maya" in Hinduism and Buddhism means "illusion"... which is what Virtual Reality (or reality in general) is all about!
This birth of a new world via VR was quite realistically depicted in the 2010 Syfy TV series Caprica which was an offshoot or prequel of Battlestar Galactica... "Galactica" as in Galaxy... as in the Milky Way and the Dark Rift.
Note that the name "Caprica" is a reference to Capricorn, as in the "Tropic of Capricorn" which is the latitude (~23.5 deg S) marking the angle of the December solstice Sun positioned at the Galactic Equator in the Dark Rift, in 2012 coinciding with the "end" of the Mayan calendar ("Galactic Alignment").
Caprica also highlighted the apple and the infinity symbol (used by a group called "Soldiers of the One" which is heavily woven into the overall story), together alluding to the company Apple...
...as Apple's main campus has the street address "1 Infinite Loop".
Interesting that "oculus" means "eye", the eye has the iris, and "iris" spelled backward is "Siri", the name of Apple's virtual assistant program.
Iris is also the name of a Greek messenger goddess... And given the underlying context here, this would be a "Mayan messenger". And that is exactly what we had in May 2014 as a major "signal" in the form of the death of the famed poet and writer Maya Angelou, i.e. "Mayan Angel/Messenger". ("Angel" means "messenger".)
Isn't a "space dragon" just like the "feathered serpent" (flying reptile) - Quetzalcoatl or Kukulkan - a major deity the Maya and other related Mesoamerican peoples worshiped? Not technically an "angel" perhaps, but a very prominent deity in those cultures nonetheless.
Plus, SpaceX founder Elon Musk is someone I've highlighted for years as a Promethean figure having a lot to do with not only Mars but also specifically the "Face on Mars" via his name...
Elon: meaning "oak"; anagram of "Leon" meaning "lion"
Musk: meaning "man" (younger/son)
Elon Musk in this way is a lion-man hybrid, just like the (decoded) Face on Mars and its earthly counterpart, the Great Sphinx, sitting at the edge of "Cairo" (Al Qahirah/al Qahir) which means/implies "Mars".
And of course a stylized "Face on Mars" is a major part of the movie Prometheus (poster):
Last but not least, all the "phoenix" (death/rebirth) nature of the birth of a new world via VR around the Mayan "end" (death) date is reflected in the name of the guy who first created the Oculus Rift - Palmer Luckey...
"Palmer" means "palm tree", which is literally a "phoenix" (= name of the plant's genus). And from "Palmer" we also get "palm"... a hand, which has five fingers. In Mayan tradition, it is the "Age of the Fifth Sun" that is either dying or being born via the "end" of the Mayan calendar, i.e. right now.
* * *
All the multicontextual clues collectively suggest that the rise of VR via the Oculus Rift - and other VR products also coming out from various tech companies - is a big deal, not unlike the clues for the rise of SpaceX/Elon Musk/Mars. Previously we thought that the New World/Age emerging through "2012" is Mars. While that is still the case, we now see that we have another one simultaneously being born called Virtual Reality. This is going to change the world, more profoundly and more rapidly than you think. You will see the VR/reality revolution starts in earnest as soon as next year when the Oculus Rift is likely to be made available to the general public.
Regulus is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, which is not only the "heart of the lion" but also "prince" (or "little king") as well as "the King", just as Jupiter is named after the king of the gods. It is highly significant therefore that Regulus and Jupiter will be in "royal" conjunction on ~August 11.
Remarkably ~August 11, 2015 is also pinpointed by a "Mayan financial crisis" time code I started highlighting back in February (STRUG) which is based on the Golden Ratio ("phi") and at least three major dates/events: 1) Transit of Venus (2004), 2) the day the US financial system almost came crashing down (9/14/2008), and 3) the "end" of the Mayan calendar (12/21/2012):
[Transit of Venus - June 8, 2004 & June 6, 2012 - rare phenomenon of Venus passing in front of the Sun]
The financial crisis theme is underscored by an additional equidistant Mayan timeline coming from the May 6, 2010 "Flash Crash" (Dow Jones) pinpointing August 8, 2015, just 3 days before August 11:
The point is not necessarily that we will have another such literal financial crisis in August 2015. But that we will have some notable event(s) heavily resonating with these things.
~~ UPDATE ~~
The pattern has been confirmed, as China's surprise move to devalue its currency on August 11, 2015 destabilized global markets...
...which is perfect timing as you'll read below (original article).
~~ END UPDATE ~~
[Original article resuming...]
On to the next set of time codes, with a temporal focus more on the latter half of August...
As I've noted many times in the past, Regulus is annually illuminated by the Sun on ~August 21–23…
And it just so happens that it coincides with the heliacal rising of Sirius specifically at the latitude of Paris (~August 22)! But that's not all...
This year it will also coincide with Venus's rebirth as the Morning Star around August 21. (Until mid August before its inferior conjunction Venus is in its Evening Star phase.) This of course connects right back to the Transit of Venus which is a very precise form of the Venus inferior conjunction (= Earth-Venus-Sun alignment) that always immediately precedes the birth of the Morning Star.
This is very important because "Morning Star" is the original meaning of the term/name "Lucifer". And it just so happens that in the movie Lucy released in July 2014 we see Lucy's driver's license expiring specifically on "August 24, 2015".
What's more, August 24 will be the anniversary of last year's big earthquake (8/24/2014) in the "phoenix city" San Francisco…
Now that NASA/NOAA's DSCOVR has been launched into space (by a SpaceX rocket), I'd like to bring your attention to one of this year's Super Bowl commercials... namely the Discover card one (video).
It's not just the name (Discover/DSCOVR) that draws our attention to it, but also the goat in it.
The Sun is in the constellation of Capricorn/Goat from Jan 20 through Feb 16, and the Chinese Year of the Goat will start on February 19th. The "Birthday" surprise seems to allude to the latter (birth = beginning) and hints that we are in for a "surprise" event around that time. We've already discussed how there's a lot going on around that date [...]
The timing of DSCOVRY's launch (Feb 11) confirms the pattern: Goat => Baphomet => pentagram => ~February 11...
Also telling, the same day DSCOVR was launched, February 11, the captain of the doomed cruise ship Costa Concordia was found guilty for his role in the disaster off the shore of "Goat Island" (Isola del Giglio).
That was in 2012 (January 13-14), resonating with the movie "2012".
It's not just the ships. The catastrophes in this 2012 story are ultimately caused by... the Sun.
DSCOVR is all about monitoring the Sun (solar wind, coronal mass ejections) for potential danger to Earth!
Not only that, "2012" - the Mayan year - is also identified with undeniable precision in the Discover card commercial with the number "773" displayed on the phone.
If you count back "773" days from and including February 1st, 2015 (Super Bowl day), you'll arrived at December 21, 2012... the "end" date of the Mayan calendar!
12/21/2012 was also the winter solstice, the angle of which is marked by the "Tropic of Capricorn". "Capricorn" is the (horned) Goat.
[Rio de Janeiro in 2012 poster]
The "solar doom" storyline is also something we had found encoded in the DSCOVR launch timing via the late October 2014 X-class solar flares and the movie Knowing.
It's fascinating as well as chilling how many Knowing-related world events we've seen of late, right around the time of the Super Bowl and DSCOVR's launch...
First of all, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl...
New England includes the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. But the team itself is based in the Greater Boston Area including Lexington. That's exactly where the story of Knowing is set.
There the story begins with a time capsule... just as in real life a time capsule was discovered and opened in Boston just recently (Dec-Jan 2015).
Katy Perry also wore a fiery outfit during her Super Bowl halftime show.
Quite... disturbing. What the hell is going on?
Well, for one, it tells us very loudly that the pattern we've been tracking is real... scary real. And two, it tells that we are probably still in for some deep impact event, comparable in magnitude to Sumatra/Pope shift. Something potentially momentous is underway, a certain big "surprise" in/for the Year of the Goat. We'll see soon enough...
This is only a small portion of what's happening in this year of... many things.

Preface
It was pretty good stuff we saw at the London Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 27. Perhaps not the most elegant opening ceremony we've seen as far as artistry and drama (that honor goes to Athens 2004), but more than adequate in terms of "whispering secrets" Enki-Prometheus style. Around here we weren't just watching, we were more actively engaged, anticipating pattern fulfillment. And boy did we ever get one!
Our multicontextual pattern assessment - most recently (re-)done in Aurora Code 2012 (July 21) - had indicated the following set of powerful themes to be in play during this period:
Royal & Martian pregnancy/baby, Arthurian/Grail bloodline
Intertwined issues of Mars (missions, life, panspermia, resurrection) & baby of Prince William & Kate Middleton
Babylon/Tower of Babel
Venus/Morning Star/Lucifer
Sun (solar cycle, solar wind/flares/CMEs, aurora)
And more...
If you watched the opening ceremony, you know how they turned out. Or maybe not. While some of the confirmations were fairly obvious, in your face even, like the "Tower of Babel" and the "Babylon Baby," there were other parts probably too cryptic for the average observer to discern. Especially the "Martian panspermia" segment. I am writing this article to elucidate what "really" happened at the Olympics opening ceremony, what was whispered by "Enki" from behind the wall, so everyone can get on the same page with regard to the true level of pattern fulfillment witnessed there, and what it could mean for the future.[Update: A new section discussing the closing ceremony has been added at the end of this article on August 14.]
The situation is that we have hidden patterns converging, uniting past, present and future... for a Total Recall of Martian Genesis.
Let the Games Begin.

London Olympics - opening ceremony (July 27, 2012)
Tower of Babel
Setting the tone right at the start of the show was the orchestral composition "Nimrod" - a dead giveaway already as Nimrod is the name of a Biblical figure who supposedly led the building of the Tower of Babel.
Spatially anchoring the whole ceremony was a ziggurat-like hill bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Tower of Babel (officially a model of Glastonbury Tor), uniting all nations as described in the Book of Genesis.
You see it, and you know it.

London Olympics - opening ceremony (July 27, 2012)
Baby Born
Roughly halfway into the show, a mysterious giant baby took center stage. So big, no one could possibly miss it. Talk about in your face...
As above, so below: The same day (July 27) an unmanned Japanese spacecraft "Kounotori" arrived at the space station ISS/Isis. "Kounotori" means "White Stork" and according to traditionstorks supposedly bring babies to new parents. Storks are a harbinger of childbirth. Perfect.
This of course brings to mind SpaceXDragon's historic berthing/birthing at the ISS late May, symbolically expressing the "Birth of Horus", a subset of a larger "Transit Ritual" permeating this special year of the Mayan Apocalypse. Horus is an ancient Egyptian god identified with the rising sun, magically reflected in Japan being the "Land of the Rising Sun", i.e. "Land of Horus."

London Olympics - opening ceremony (July 27, 2012)
Who's Your Daddy?
The shocking (not really) answer was encoded in this scene...
People coming out the "Gate of God" (= Babylon/Babel), out the Underworld... symbolic of a baby coming out of the mother's womb. Bingo...
The hill/ziggurat officially represents England's Glastonbury Tor...
...traditionally associated with Avalon & King Arthur.
Avalon is where King Arthur - Once and Future King - is said to be resting in hibernation, awaiting "resurrection."
"Rebirth of King Arthur", then, was the subtext of the enigmatic "Gate of God" scene. In other words, the giant baby was suggested to be of the Grail Bloodline, semi-historically linked to the British Royal Family... more so on the Diana/Jacobite succession side, the side of Prince William, Kate and their presumably upcoming baby. So the Giant Baby, at least on the terrestrial level, directly or indirectly had to do with William & Kate, i.e. their baby. This matches what we've been projecting for 2012-2013.
Avalon means "apple," implying "pentagram," signifying a gateway to the Underworld, the realm of the "underground stream" (Grail bloodline).
The king of the dead in the Underworld is Osiris, who becomes his son Horus through resurrection via the Duat's pentagrammic interdimensional portal.
A groupcalled "Underworld" was in charge of music for the opening ceremony.
Opening ceremony (July 27) was pinpointed by one of the apexes of a pentagram inscribed inside the Earth's orbit.
The orbital pentagramhas beenthe temporal geometry underlying the William-Kate union, adding more weight to the Giant Baby being theirs.
Immediately preceding the Giant Baby segment was a rather curious celebration of the nation's public health care system, NHS...
The Pythagoreans called pentagrams "Hygieie" meaning "health."
Opening ceremony concluded with Paul McCartney performing "Hey Jude"...
...the first single released by the Beatles' own Apple Records...
...a division of Apple Corps, which is a pun pronounced "apple core," exactly where we find a pentagram.
The Beatles drummerRingo Starr's name implies "Apple Star"...(his latest album is "Ringo 2012"):
