Fort Hood, Texas. Home of the United States Army 1ST Cavalry Division. Second to None!!

AMERICAN SOLDIERS ATTACKED AT HOME IN AMERICA!!

Soldiers coming back from the war and Soldiers preparing to go back to the frontlines, are killed by a muslim extremist whose patience paid off. The likes of Geraldo Rivera along with muslim groups and sympathizers are calling it a “stress related “mass” killing”. Obama and his “female partner” are using this “mass killing” as a kodak moment. Pelosi and her gang of pathetic pieces of human inconvenience are more concerned about socializing healthcare than they are securing the United States of America. All the while, General McCrystal awaits Obama’s decision on whether or not he gets the additional Soldiers he needs to fight these pathetic, witless, koran reading womb rejects.

Gees, I don’t know!! Maybe now would be a great time to SEND the 40 thousand Soldiers to Afghanistan. Better yet!! Why not deploy the United States Armed Forces throughout the continental United States? We need protection too! But from who? Hmmmmm! Is it our current government? Is it muslims?

Oh, I am sorry!! That sounds a lot like martial law, huh?

Okay then, will the real Nidal Malik Hasan please stand up? Uh oh, did I say stand up? I meant sit up and just breathe, your fate awaits.

The murderer, the islamic jihadist, the perpetrator of fraud, the anti- American muslim, the valueless piece of human waste and the epitome of a real and true muslim. This is the real Hasan contrary to what his family, fellow muslims,  Geraldo Rivera and his media support network might say.

THIS IS NOT STRESS; HASAN WAS NOT STRESSED!! If you media pro’s are looking for an argument that will enable your ratings based on your theory of stress, this time and rest assured, you are barking up the wrong tree. Obviously, you know not of what you speak.

Hasan NEVER, I say again, NEVER went to the war zone.

NEVER went headfirst into a foxhole dodging a mortar round or two.

NEVER fired a single round defending himself and fellow soldiers.

NEVER took cover from enemy small arms fire.

NEVER returned fire in defense of his position.

He has no claim nor the merit to align himself with the PTSD identifier.

Hasan, like ALL muslims, played on American values winning the hearts and minds of Obama and others, called himself American while singing the national anthem to “prove” he is a legitimate American.

Have the muslims really pulled the wool over the America’s eyes or what?

Hasan’s  jihadist charade wasn’t due to stress, it was his “allahu akbar” trash that sprang from his lips that solidified his True intent. Those of us who have been in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, know what’s coming when “allahu akbar” is announced. Hell!!!

The United States Armed Forces should now do what should have been done a long time ago, quarantine and lock up any and all muslims in the United States Armed Forces. Period!! Prevailing circumstances and justifiable cause win out. Then of course, the civilian side of America should follow suit and round up any and all muslims as dictated by the Constitution of the United States. We are at war with muslims and their islamic jihadism. The security of the United States preempts any and all “civil rights” these muslims enjoy as they only cry as an American when it suits their needs and “desires”.

Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has called for an investigation into whether or not the Army “missed signs that Hasan embraced extremist views of islamic ideology”. Nice try Joe, but it is your fellow Congressmen who endorse enlistments and military service as being a “volunteer, come as you are policy”. No profiling or prejudice. An act of Congress Joe!! You know what that means Joe, no argument or “note of protest” allowed. C’mon Joe, you know the ACLU would challenge every effort to keep America safe. So, why waste your time unless of course you have the American Soldier at your side?

The ACLU has endorsed opening up our streets and neighborhoods to these terrorists. The ACLU is the ACLU. Open borders. Safe havens in American cities for illegals. Criminal rights preferred over victims rights. Ban the American flag. Ban the Catholic or Christian cross.

US Army recruiters and recruits are shot dead in front of recruiting stations. American sons and daughters are being killed by terrorists and illegals and what does our country do? They give these inbred rejects “Rights”.

Remember, it was Janet Napolitano who issued a statement to federal, state and municipal law enforcement agencies warning them of “returning war veterans becoming extremists”. Oh, but the muslim radical extremists are poster children of what America really is and should be? I think this is worth an LOL, don’t you?

Piss on you Napolitano!! You slap the American military in the face, spit on them, while at the same time caressing islam right on the ass. Great Job!! You wouldn’t by any chance be one of those 72 virgins, would you?

The United States Armed Forces serve with their hands tied while bent over. Of course there are military officers, especially in the upper echelon, who prefer to keep their mouths shut for fear of not getting that “political appointment”. And so we are a “nice, obedient military” who for all intent and purpose, gets the shaft both at home and abroad and especially after service. How fruitful!!

Many cheers to you, Napolitano, you were right. There are extremists among our military. My apologies! There is however, one teeny weeny problem. The extremists are the ones we are fighting against in the Middle East. Incidentally, they have infiltrated our military exactly how they infiltrate their own military and police forces in their respective countries. But you knew that, didn’t you?

How ironic, jihadism in the US military.

Jihadism in the US Government, from the Oval Office down to the office of Eric Holder, Attorney General at large, who is offering civil and judicial rights to America’s enemy right here in New York City.

That is so sweet of this government!!

Abu Gharaib was worse, wasn’t it?

Of course it was! American soldiers are dirty, anti human by nature, and murderers at large. And to think I was a part of that. Securing America and fighting for her very existence. How stupid of me!! Those muslims, I could hug em all!!

The American military is the worst of the worst as it violates the many rights of other countries and their people. Saddam Hussein was a prince compared to the American Soldier. Bin Laden is a hero who risked it all to prove that America is the Great Satan. Both Hussein and Bin Laden wanted nothing more than peace. Hasan proved this by killing 12 American Soldiers and obiding by the very comic book, the “Koran”, that Bin Laden and Hussein swore by.

Extremism? Nah!! Just a burdened element of your society, Napolitano.

Muslims “stress” too!! Really!

Strapping an IED to your body and then the possibility of detonating a bit early would stress me out. I would want to kill as many innocent folks as I could. It’s just part of the “game”. Hasan would agree with me. Which is why he used bullets instead.

Should we send a get well card to Hasan? After all, the poor guy is now paralyzed and we should show our American “heart”.

What really bothers me is the fact that Hasan’s relative stated unequivically, that Hasan was/is a “good” American. Well duh, anybody can be a “good” American. But to prove it…

Am I slow or what?

Not once, since 9/11, have I heard one single muslim say “I am a proud American AND I will defend the United States of America against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Including fellow muslims or “islamic nut jobs”. Not One!!

If you listen to muslims very closely, you will only hear them say “the koran or islam does not “promote” or “condone” the killing of “innocent” women and children”. Words to ease the mind or just interpretation? Muslims NEVER actually condemn any act of terrorism with honor or integrity. In fact, they never mention men or buildings or collateral damage as “who or what is not to be harmed according to the koran and its teaching”.

How blind are you people?

Liberals, I can understand their ignorance. But Republicans or Conservatives? Is Fox news that convincing?

Are O’Reilly and Limbaugh really that iconic? Look, I am as Republican and/or Conservative as any one person can be, but I do not rely on media that continually promotes its own ratings and skirts the issues.

It is called “attention to detail”. Without it, anything goes.

Hasan did what he did based on simple American beliefs and values. America indulges  complacency. The so-called conservative media allows complacency out of the need for simple “argumentation” so as to create or blindside the Real and True American into a power rating struggle amongst media outlets.

When Limbaugh makes a comment like “I resign the position of being America’s Conservative leader”, two questions come to mind. First, who appointed you the Conservative leader? Second, what makes you compatible with the Republican Conservative agenda? Certainly not your dim witted wit.

If conservative media was true to its intent, then they would be going for the throat. Literally!! Instead, they boast about ratings, waiting for “something” to happen that they could capitalize on with “armchair experts” whose only vested interest is public relations and noteriety. These media talk and information shows use others to argue a point, while the “personalities” use “researchers” to do the important stuff like get facts to make an argument.

This does not require an Einstein I.Q..

Here are some points that will weed out the “fake” republicans or self proclaimed conservatives:

1 – Conservative media highlights the illegal alien issue by using “nice” words and phrases like “illegals cost the American tax payers billions of dollars a year and we need immigration reform now”. Or, “illegals have been killing Americans with their drugs, alcohol abuse and murder”.

Tell me something I don’t know!!

Like: “Put the US military on the border; do away with the Posse Comitatus act; seize any and all assets of the Mexican government and KEEP it as a “down payment” to pay back the American tax payer; round up, detain and criminally charge ALL illegals whether they are fresh out of the womb or drinking Geritol; SEND THEM BACK…………

2- Conservative media is a constant voice when it comes to the economy. They say things like: “All of the money from the bailout has yet to be dispersed”; “Where is all of the money going?”; The banks are beginning to pay their share of the bailout money back”; “the bailout money was supposed to save or create jobs”; “there is no “credit” or “financial relief” for the hard working American family”.

Again, Duh!!!

Why not try blasting the government for its intentional abuse of the American taxpayer. The government should have frozen ALL credit reporting activity and and levied fines against ALL financial institutions who continue to report negative credit activity. Establish as non binding, the three credit reporting companies who have done more harm than good to people and families and have created their own version of credit reporting without due process and making money from people who are or have been struggling. Require them to request in writing, permission to release any information for fee or free to companies who request it whether for credit purchases or employment; require banks to stop charging overdraft fees, ATM fees, checking fees, and late fees; banks will be charged by the consumer fees of inconvenience; false charge fees; wrongful entry fees and uncashed check fees among others; with the money that has exchanged hands between the government and financial, income tax should be frozen for one year based on economic status and all income should be tax free…..

Wishful thinking? No! Just plain, simple logic minus the backbone.

Terrorists can be afforded rights, money and health care much like their illegal counterparts, yet the broke, struggling, American taxpayer foots the tab. FOR EVERYTHING!!! For the simpleminded, it is called SOCIALISM which is designed to require a people to “DEPEND” on its government or dictatorship.

This is a 1+1 and if you can’t figure that out, you have more issues than you think. Stick with the liberal, bleeding heart, ill fated venture, you deserve it!!!

Hasan is due a firing squad, “whoever get’s to him first”.Go for the throat!! But you liberals want to give him a chance so the assumption is, a possible rehabilitation program, right? Right!!

As Real and True Americans, we must begin to take matters into our own hands. Politics and media are not concerned about America, but only what they can “reap or steal” from it. This is not about “how” we deal with muslims, the economy, terrorists, illegals, financial fraud against hard working Americans and anti-Americanism in all its forms, this is about “what” we are going to do about it.

Unless we have the fortitude and courage to stand beside the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ignoring political correctness, then we are going in a “one way, bad way”, with no return. America is my country and I am going to take her back.

The Hasans and bin Ladens of the world, the banks of the world, the criminals of the world and the politically correct must all be aware. We are coming and it will be on our time, not yours. We have seen enough. You show no respect, you get no respect……

Hasan has proven that with terrorism, comes hell, and with hell, comes a government of no courage or values……….a government that continues to fine tune its own terroristic tendencies. Think people, think.

May islam burn in hell as it has disrupted the American dream and our future. Kind of like what the American government has done recently.

Stand up America!! We are not extremists, we are just extremely mad and will now focus on our American future that the current “government” forbids. We don’t rant, we speak with intensity and logic. Remember those who have given us this opportunity, not the Hasans…and Obama’s.

I had my very first professional massage in Thailand, the day after we arrived. I don’t really think that it’s weird that I haven’t been to masseuse before now, but many of my friends thought it outrageous. Anyway, no longer.

We went to the beauty parlour in out resort in Patong for an hour long massage. We had originally booked in for traditional Thai massages (which are cheaper) but were talked up to oil massages as they claimed the Thai massage would be ‘too strong’ for us. (I’m sure they were right in my case at least.)

On the whole, I would have found it quite a pleasant experience if it hadn’t been a full body massage that required the removal of all my clothing, which though I was under a towel the whole time made me quite tense, which is actually the opposite of what i was aiming for. I was also very self conscious about how our Thai ladies (mine was a ruthless looking old lady who laughed when she either tickled me or caused me pain, either seemed equally amusing to her) were having a conversation between themselves which may have been about the what they were going to have for dinner, but I suspect it was more likely to be about how we looked like enormous beached whales. Again, not very relaxing. Nor was the moment when my masseuse pressed her elbow into my groin for about 30 seconds. That was just mean. 

I think the next time I go for a massage I will limit myself to back and shoulders so i can focus more on the muscle manipulations and less on the circumstances.

Di sistemi personalmente ne ho cercati per mesi e la maggior parte non ha funzionato. La limitazione a 72 minuti quando si tratta di un film è veramente fastidiosa e io per un po’ di tempo a spegnere e riaccendere il router per fargli cambiare l’indirizzo IP.

La soluzione che ho trovato oggi e che sembra funzionare discretamente bene è un semplice sito megastreaming.org. Una  volta entrati nella loro pagina vi basterà inserire l’URL del video che volete vedere e attraverso un escamotage vi potrete vedere senza problemi 2 ore e 20 di video.

Come funziona? Esistono 2 player distinti per megavideo, uno normale che vi da 72 minuti, l’altro (che dovrebbe servire ai soli adulti) che vi da 31 minuti di visione. Dopo aver inserito il video verrete indirizzati al loro player, passeranno i primi 31 minuti, finiti questi cliccando sul tasto sopra al player   verrete reindirizzati al player da 72 e quindi un altra volta a quello da 31 che nel frattempo sarà tornato disponibile perchè saranno passati i 54 minuti di attesa.

Ricordatevi solo a che punto lasciate il film tra un player e l’altro.

Buona visione!

And round about the Sun, and dependent on the Sun, are the eight spheres, namely, the sphere of the fixed stars, and the six planet-spheres, and the sphere which surrounds the earth.

(Corpus Hermetica, Libellus XVI)

Whether the ancients believed the sun to be the physical center of our solar system as in the heliocentric notion of modern astronomy is irrelevant, for those initiated into the esoteric mysteries Sol was beyond the fiery orb in the heavens, it was a representation of the Divine Central Principle, the Philosophic ignis centrum, that reigns ablaze in the center of all creation. It was through Sol, in one of its physical manifestation as the Sun of astronomy that those initiated into the mysteries came to comprehend the workings of Cosmos. Through observing the basic rise and set patterns of the Sun and its yearly oscillation across the horizon and its path across the zodiac the early Philosophers armed themselves with the base  geometries and principles by which to probe at the sacred nature of our heavens.  These geometries and principles exhibited by the Sun (or rather the Earth’s position to the Sun) stood as the standard by which early astronomers began to examine the cycles and nature of all other celestial bodies. As such, the Sun in the context of Sacred Astronomy cannot be examined without first outlining the basic empirical methods by which the ancients divided, measured, and understood the sky.

Domification, The Celestial Sphere, and The Great Circles:

The circle, the dome,  and the sphere are the basic geometric models of the heavens. As we watch the rise and set of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars we see that each celestial body follows an arched trajectory overhead. Called the Celestial Sphere, this dome is essentially a projection of the Earth’s sphere out towards the Cosmos. Onto this sphere are mapped three Great Circles of importance:

1. The Celestial Equator: A projection of the Earth’s own equator onto the Celestial Sphere, it divides the sky into a northern and southern hemisphere. As seen from Earth, all celestial bodies traverse the sky on arched trajectories parrallel to the Celestial Equator.
2. The Meridian: The Great Circle that connects the north and south celestial poles (NCP and SCP) to the point directly above (zenith) and the point below (nadir) the terrestrial observer. The Meridian divides the sky into an eastern and western hemisphere.
3. The Ecliptic: This is the plane of the earth’s orbit around the Sun. In the Celestial Sphere it is the Great Circle that lies at an inclined angle relative to the Celestial Equator. This angle is the Obliquity of the Ecliptic, which at present day is approximately 23.4°. All the Planets in our solar system stay relatively close to the ecliptic, thus this Great Circle has been used to chart the movement of the Sun, Moon, and Planets relative to a band of distant stars. These distant stars became the zodiac of 12 constellations as a result of the ecliptic being divided into 12 segments of 30 degrees to represent the 12 months of the year.

The Great Circle of the Celestial Equator intersects the Ecliptic at two points. These points are called Vernal Equinox (VE) and Autumnal Equinox (AE) as they mark the location of the Sun on the mid cross-quarters. Vernal Equinox is the traditional beginning of the solar cycle…it is the Astrological New Year, heralding the transition when the Sun begins to stay longer and higher in the sky bringing extended periods of warmth and light.

Ecliptic Astronomy:

Ecliptic Astronomy is purely two-dimensional and geometric. It entered the Western traditions through the Assyro-Babylonian tablets of the Chaldean Magi. Today it is mainly used in mundane astrology for creating horoscopes, and modern astronomers continue to use it to chart planetary orbits.

The underlying principle is that the motion of the Sun, Moon, and planets projected onto a distant background of fixed stars (the Zodiac) is circular around the Earth. Indeed, due to the vast distances involved this geometric model holds true even though the planetary orbits are more elliptical than circular and our solar system is heliocentric. In Ecliptic Astronomy, the four solar stations (solstices and equinoxes) occur at right angles from each other as a result of the Earth’s position in its slightly elliptical orbit.

Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere occurs when the north end of the Earth’s polar axis points away from the Sun and we experience colder months and longer nights. Summer solstice occurs when the north end is pointing towards the Sun bringing warmer and longer days. The Equinoxes are the mid-points in the cycle when there is equal night and day.

All variations of the Solar Wheel symbol (,,,) are a manifestation of the geometry of Ecliptic Astronomy. The number of prongs relate to the cross-quarters plus additional divisions of the cycle (i.e. intervals of time or divisions of space). Note, that despite the naming convention,  this family of symbols does not constitute direct representation of the celestial body ‘Sun’ , but rather represent the Divine Central Principle and principial orientation to the cycles of the universe. Consequently, they  can be associated with the universe as a whole or any number of planets or stars including, but not limited to, our Sun. The Egyptian hieroglyph Re and astrological glyph for Sun () also used to denote the ‘Gold’ of Hermetic Alchemy directly relates to this notion of Sol- the Central Principle as derived from Ecliptic Astronomy.

Positional Astronomy:

Based on terrestrial observations against the local horizon, Positional Astronomy is the oldest system for measuring the movement of celestial bodies. Neolithic monuments such as Stonehenge stand as a testament to our ancestors marking the position of the Sun and Moon rise and set in the local horizon on dates of seasonal importance. This method of astronomy can also be used to cast shadows with an upright pillar, obelisk, or stick in order to divide the day into hours. Such practices were adopted by the Greeks from the Horary Priests of Ancient Egypt.

In Positional Astronomy the solar cycle orchestrates a slightly different geometry than in the two-dimensional ecliptic. This is because the Sun will never rise or set due north or due south as a result of the Obliquity of the Ecliptic. Thus, all solar movement is constrained to an arc that extends 23.4° north and south of the east-west axis. Observing the sunrise and sunsets against the local horizon, we see that the Sun oscillates back and forth from a northern extreme (summer solstice in the northern hemisphere) to a southern extreme (winter solstice). A curious thing happens on the solstices. After six months the sunrise or set positions begin to creep along the horizon at shorter intervals until the motion literally stops (hence the term ’solstice’, Latin for “sun standstill”). After a few days (~3days) of rising and setting in the same location the sun reverses its movement and begins to backtrack against the horizon as it moves towards the opposite solstice. In Positional Astronomy the four cross-quarters are measured as three spatial positions whereby the vernal equinox Sun rises and sets in the same positions as the autumnal equinox.

The twelve months as observed in Positional Astronomy constitute seven positions. Thus, the integers 3,7, and of course, 12 are intrinsically related to the solar cycle. When sunsets are considered along sunrises, the four solar stations constitute a six-pointed geometry; thus as we move from  two-dimensional zodiacal/ecliptic space to three-dimensional terrestrial space 4=6. This should also be examined alongside the two most popular forms of the Tree in Traditional Kabbalistic philosophy and the inherent 3,7,12 structure there within(see Concerning the Tree), the perceptive reader will notice that Tifferet – the sefirah traditionally associated to the Sun – emanates as the fourth sefirah in the Gra Tree and the sixth in the Ari version.

Solar Year:

The Solar year is the 365.25 day period it takes the earth to circle around the Sun. Because there is an average of .25 days (or 6hrs) remainder to the solar year, the solar cycle amounts to one extra day every four years . If this subtlety in the cycle is not accounted for after 30 years the months will be completely out of sync with the solar cycle and Chaos will ensue. Several cultures using the geometric Ecliptic form of Astronomy kept 360 day calendars adding 5 intercalary days to total 365 (this was the basis of the Babylonian calendar). Then, every four years an extra day was inserted into the year totaling 366, this maintained the calendar in sync with the celestial rhythms of the Sun. These extra 6hrs of the solar cycle is also the reason that the modern Gregorian calendar has leap years.

32 Year Equinoctial Cycle:

A curious thing happens around equinox in Positional Astronomy. As a result of the Earth’s proximity to the Sun, the sunrises and sets moves at the greatest intervals across the horizon during the weeks nearest equinox. Though the Sun rises near due east each year on Vernal Equinox, a careful observer will notice minor fluctuations. These fluctuations occur for 32 years whereby different portions of the solar disc align to true east. On the 33rd year, the Vernal Equinox Sun rises and sets in the exact position it did 33 years earlier. Thus, we find a greater “solar year” cycle related to the Traditional New Year and “rebirth” of the sun in Positional Astronomy. This likely influenced the myths of the Solar Hero who after 32 years of physical life is reborn to eternity on his 33rd year (i.e. Christ, Mithras, etc.). In Hebrew Gematria, 32 yields בל (‘heart’) indicative of the center of the subtle body (the central heart chakra ) and Sol principle as the practitioner’s orientation to his own Center.

Precessional Cycle:

A tiny wobble in the earth’s axis shifts the solar position of Vernal Equinox to a new zodiacal constellation every 2,160 years, taking the Vernal Equinox Sun 25,950 years to complete one full cycle around the zodiac. This means that Vernal Equinox, the supposedly “fixed” reference point used to measure the movement of the Sun across the zodiac and initiate ‘time’ as the traditional New Year, is not fixed at all but rather subject to the precession of the equinoxes. From an initiatic standpoint these astrological Ages- known by the constellation in which the  Vernal Equinox Sun rises – reflect shifts in mass consciousness as evident in the prevailing philosophical and spiritual thought of the Age.

Many authors have pointed out that during the Age of Taurus bovine cults predominated the ancient world (i.e. the Apis Bull of Egypt, the Ba’al worship of the Canaanites, the Minotaur of the Crete, etc.). The practices involving the sacrifice of the bull or the tauroctony were the means by which those initiated into the mysteries expressed the precessional cycle, the slaying of the bull being a direct allusion to the Sun moving out of Taurus and into the constellation of Ares. Following the Age of Taurus we see a global shift over to the ram-headed deity, the symbol of fecundity and creation became associated with the ram (goat or lamb) of Ares; the ram-headed Egyptian Amun, the goat of Mendes, Pan, and a plethora of others became the cult focus across the ancient world. Around the 1st Century C.E the middle east saw the development of a new apocalyptic Jewish sect that symbolized their hero and savior as the fish. The rise of Christianity coincided with the precessional shift from Ares to Pisces (the ‘fish’), and consequently Christ came to represent slain lamb of Ares and in resurrection he became the fish of our current Age.  As we approach the next precessional age, that of Aquarius the water bearer, religious thought is once again going through a major transformation – we are now at the helms of our own spiritual vessels able to navigate the divine waters without the need of  mediating institution. The flood gates are opening and that which was once esoteric  is becoming exoteric- consequently, more  people today have access to doctrines and practices to unveil transcendent truths than ever before.

Knowledge of this precession cycle was instrumental in esoteric religious philosophy as it articulates a power greater than the Sun and alluded to the invisible omnipresent and omnipotent God that turns the wheel of Time. Moreover, evidence of this Precessional Cycle could be observed at a much smaller scale – every 72 years the Sun and all other stars are seen to shift 1 degree across the sky. This integer 72 along with 32 (as the number of years it takes the Sun to complete its Equinoctial Cycle) are of primal importance to the esoteric traditions following the unseen and unknowable God. This is primarily evident in the 72 names of God and the 32 paths of wisdom in traditional Kabbalah. Both 72 and 32 articulate solar cycles that are for the most part beyond the confines of human experience and turn the initiatic Mind away from the solar orb and towards the greater transcendent principles of our universe.

We discuss the importance of the Preccesional Cycle and in-particular its manifestation in the Aeon Chronos and the Gnostic interpretation of Christ through analyzing the inherent geometry of the Chi-Rho symbol  in The Eternal Chronos.

23, 666, and the Obliquity of the Ecliptic:

The integers 23 and 666 have a long history of association with the Sun and the Solar principle. As we will demonstrate, these integers among their various interpretations were also the venue through which knowledge of the Obliquity of the Ecliptic was transmitted to initiates of the mysteries. Throughout the life of our planet this angle has ranged from about 22° to 24° ; however, in human history the angle has been bound closely to the numeral 23 ranging from  23.9° to 23.4°. Throughout the Biblical and later Classical periods of our history, the obliquity of the ecliptic was around 23.6°, or in fractional form 23 and 2/3 .It is during this time period where we find a rather curious correspondence between the numbers:

2 x 3 = 6 (the emanation of the Kabbalistic sefirot Tiferet in the Ari sequence, and the number of spokes formed by the geometry of the solar cycle in Positional Astronomy)

2 / 3 = .666 (the fractional approximation of the obliquity angle in antiquity,a reference to the Biblical number of Man or the Beast )

We can further elaborate on this by examining a variation of a  family of symbol commonly used by early Christians, the chrismon. These six-pronged symbols had various manifestation, the two most popular being: 1) The simple chrismon () formed by the crossed Greek letters Iota(I) and Chi (X) as a monogram for Ιησους Хριστος(‘Jesus Christ’) and also shorthand for Iχθυς (‘fish’) and, 2)The Chi-Rho or Cross of Constantine () formed by the crossed Greek letters Chi (X) and Rho(P) as the monogram of Christos (Χριστός).  We examine both these forms in relation to the solar cycles in the post The Eternal Chronos; however, here we present another variant formed by the Chi (X) and an inverse numeral 4.

This rather enigmatic form of the chrismon may have been intended to be comprehended outside the Greek alphabet and instead through the Sinatic form of the Hebrew alphabet. As such it yields a cross of the Sinatic letters Aleph () and Tav(X) – thus representing the first and last letters of the Sinatic alphabet, the Alpha – Omega principle whereby the beginning is the end, a fitting symbol for the eternal Christ. Needless to say,  the six-points of the geometry echoes the six-pronged geometry of the solar cross-quarters in Positional Astronomy.

Aleph is the central axis and thus corresponds to the east-west Equinoctial Axis, Tav represents the Solstitial Axis – the  northern and southern limits of the Sun as seen from earth (the angle bound by the Obliquity of the Ecliptic). Considering that Vernal Equinox is the traditional New Year, Aleph = Beginning = Equinoctial Axis is a rather seamless correspondence. Similarly, the solstices are the limits and thus the ends of the solar cycle where the Sun at either extreme represents the completion of a polarity (i.e. the longest day of the year, or the shortest day of the year,etc.) giving us the Tav= End = Solstitial Axis correspondence.

Moreover, Aleph is the first letter of the Sinatic alphabet and Tav is the 22nd and last letter. Together their alphabetical positions give us 23 (1 + 22) the very numeral at the heart of this discussion. 23 is the numerical inverse of 32 – a number discussed above in the Equinoctial Cycle and representative of the 32 paths of wisdom and liberation in Kabbalah doctrine. In Hebrew Gematria 23 yields הוט (‘to bind’) indicative its role as the bounding principle of the solar extremes (versus the “liberating” role of 32).

Other pertinent recurrence of 23 and 666 include the 6×6 Magic Square of Sol, a variation of which was first published in the Arabic astro-magical text Rasa’il Ikhwan al-Safa. The actual workings of the Magic Square of Sol are beyond the scope of this post; however, it should be noted that the sum of all the digits in the square totals 666. Also, in the grid of the Magical Square the number at the coordinate 2,3 (second horizontal number, third vertical number) is 23.  In terms of music and the science of harmonics .666 or 2/3 is the ratio of the perfect fifth, considered by the Pythagoreans as the most powerful harmonic interval – naturally the ratio of the perfect fifth was to be understood as the harmonia of Sol.

Sun and Moon:

The ancients went to great depths to synchronize the lunar and solar cycles. These two celestial orbs being the manifest reminders of the transcendent male/+ and female/- polarities of the universe. The Sun is a direct symbol of the central, combustive, and active agent (), while the Moon in her nature as the luminary reflecting the light of the Sun reminds us of the passive, liquid, and mutable agent (). In their celestial union-  what we may term the celestial Bridal Chamber- we find a symbolic allusion to the creation of the macrocosmic universe ().

We address the Moon, her various cycles, and her role as “mother” of Sacred Astronomy in the post Moon:The Hook of Consciousness.

Sun and Mercury:

Traditionally Mercury is the planet associated with initiation, magic, and the various paths of Sacred Science. In its relation to the Sun we find that Mercury’s cycle alongside the solar year is represented by the fraction 22/7. This fraction being the approximation of the irrational transcendent number Pi, the underlying ‘circle’ principle through which the heavens can be measured and interpreted. In ecliptic astronomy Mercury’s rhythms within the context of the solar year traces out the geometry of the two primordial polarities  (,) and of course, when two cycles are plotted together, the union of those polarities in the Hexagram( ).

Mercury’s patterns present us with the manifestation of many universal truths, he/she/it is truly to be understood as the initiator into Sacred Astronomy. We barely scratch the surface of Mercury initiatic meaning in the post Mercury:Gateway to the Heavens.

Sun and Venus:

With Venus, the second of the internal planets, we find yet another venue into transcendent universal principles. Her conjunction cycles with the Sun are represented by the ratio 8/5 – a fraction that yields an approximation of yet another transcendent and irrational number, Phi. Like Mercury, Venus not only yields a fundamental principle in her relation to an irrational number, but her very geometry in Ecliptic Astronomy transmits one of the perennial symbols of the initiatic tradition. In her 5 conjunctions every 8 solar years, Venus hands us the symbol of the Pentagram ().

We treat Venus in more depth in the post  Venus:The Divine Feminine.

Sun and Mars:

Mars is the first of the outer planets. Traditionally attributed to the god of war it is a planet symbolic of action in all its martial, intellectual, and sexual manifestations. In its opposition cycle with the sun Mars is exemplified by the ratio 7/15, forming 7 conjunctions every 15 solar years. This opposition cycle plotted in Ecliptic Astronomy yields heptagonal geometry, more specifically the seven-pointed star or Heptagram(). In this symbol the initiate finds the operating active powers of all the planets in the solar system, in Kabbalah the Heptagram points are representative of the seven planets in ascending or descending order. By drawing the Heptagram the practitioner recreates the order of days in a week thereby putting the planets in action in terms of their temporal manifestation.

Sun and Jupiter:

It takes Jupiter approximately 12 years (11.9years) to complete one cycle around the zodiac ;therefore, the annual patterns of the Sun’s 12 months around the zodiac are reflected at a higher magnitude of 12 years by Jupiter. Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun takes 399 days yielding a Sun:Jupiter ratio of 12/11. This means that, as measured from Earth, every 12 Solar Years Jupiter completes 11 opposition cycles with the Sun. The geometry traced by this cycle is that of a eleven-pointed star, or the Hendecogram.

The Hendecogram is symbolic of the Man-God (union of the Pentagram of the Microcosm with the Hexagram of the Macrocosm).In Pythagorean number theory 11 is seen as the attempt to better perfection (10);  it is thus symbolic of the initiate who retains his sense of Self in the face of perfection(10 + 1), in it there as also an implied duality (11 = 1+1 = 2) since this Man-God now exists separate – having overthrown the confines of  demiurgic creator. Of course, we may look at this in terms of the Greco-Roman myths attributed to Zeus or Jupiter as the One who slays his own father (Titan Kronos) in order to bring forth a new Age. This is not to be interpreted as complete dominion and liberation over the universe, mainly due to the implied duality , but is instead representative of the realization of Macroanthropos, where the initiate is now poised to break free of all bonds.

Furthermore, throughout Jupiter’s astronomical cycle the planet disappears from the night sky for 32 days reflecting the Sun’s Equinoctial Cycle. As the equinox Sun is “reborn” into the Greater Solar Year on the 33rd year; Jupiter is reborn into the night sky on the 33rd day after 32 days of living in darkness. The same mathematical rhythm, but at different magnitudes.

Sun and Saturn:

Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit around the Sun, thus the Sun:Saturn ratio gives us 29.5/30. Based on its periodicities, Saturn can be said to be more closely aligned to the Moon that the Sun considering it mimics the Moon’s synodic cycle of 29.5 days at a higher magnitude. However, the relationship between Sun and Saturn is fundamental in Hermetic alchemical workings as Saturn represents the dual nature of Man, the potential for spiritual eternity locked in the tellurian tomb of matter. It is through transcending Saturn that the initiate can surpass the limits of the universe and leave behind the dual nature of our terminal existence. In the words of Isaac the Hollander :

From Saturn proceeds, and from Saturn is made, the Philosopher’s Stone….There is no greater secret that this: that is found is Saturn, since in the Sun [the vulgar Sun, that is to say in the intellectual faculties of external consciousness] we do not find the perfection that we find in Saturn. In its interior, and in this all the Philosophers agree, it is a most excellent Sun…In truth, Saturn is the stone that the ancient philosophers did not want to name.

Unlike the other classical planets, Saturn’s synodic cycle does not produce a coherent geometric form- it is always in fractional state continuing for 360 years at which point the 360-pronged geometry of the Saturn:Sun cycles completely engulfs the ecliptic circle into a black mass of connecting lines – an act that can be described as the Philosophic “squaring of the circle”. This perfection of Saturn in one sense represents the bindings and restrictions of the karmic universe and the human condition of being entombed in the  life-death cycles, and in another sense is equated with the Philosopher’s stone as hiding the principle by which the initiate can unshakle the bonds of terminal existence and obtain true spiritual immortality.

Once my group got the task we immediately got together to discuss ideas. It took longer than I first thought to get an idea, we toyed around with the idea of genres and we decided it should be comedy as it was all of ours favourite genre and we decided on a viral advert as we had a few advertising students on board and we could really use there knowledge to do the advert. Someone then mentioned scientology and how it was a load of bullshite and that’s when we came up with the idea to make up our own religion and do a piss take sort of advert parodying scientology.

Coming up with what we were going to include in our advert we had to do alot of research on where it was meant to have been founded and who founded it. We decided to do a few vox pops to make the advert seem a little more realistic and we decided to have a little speech in there too, so we could make sure we got our point across. This process took basically all of the Monday up.

On the Tuesday we had to start filming so I got to the loan shop early to make sure we got our equipment. The first problem I ran into was that the loan shop had no DV tapes which was a piss take so I went to the art shop in the Graham Sunderland building who also said they had none. Luckily another member of the Media Production team had alot of spare tapes and lent me one to use. Once we waited for everyone to show up we started filming, the vox pops all went very well and so did the speech that we had planned even though it took me a few takes to get it right, another problem arose when we came to do the reconstruction as we needed to dress up a space to look like the 1980’s and we didn’t have much time to do it so to side step the bullet we shot a very tight shot in one of the halls so you couldn’t see any of the walls, just the desk and the subject, we also bought a very 80’s looking shirt from the charity shop and that is how she shot the scene. I think everyone had equal input to how we should shoot the scenes and most people were willing to act in the scenes except for one person but ill talk about that later.

On Wednesday we started to edit. Once we had captured the footage we came across the problem of there was no sound and all the speakers were on and everything was working. I turns out that the sound settings were wrong so once I had changed them in the tools menu everything was working fine and we could start editing. Everyone had plenty to say about how we should edit the shots and how they wanted it to look which I thought was great but no-one was willing to actually get onto the computer and do the editing so it was left to me to actually do the work which I was happy about actually because id never used the software before and it gave me a chance to experiment with it plus I love editing. Once we had edited all the titles and rendered the effects we went to play the project from start to finish but a fatal error message popped up which really worried us, we couldn’t play the project or even close the program. I figured out by studying the timeline that a piece of audio had become corrupted so all I did was delete the audio clip and the project worked fine again. We then exported it and uploaded it to YouTube.

I think all the group worked very well Me, James and Alex I think showed the most technical ability so the girls let us take care of that side and Rosie, Alina and Lorraine had alot of input as to what shots they wanted and how they thought it should be edited so I was really happy with the whole team, Anete wasn’t there for the editing part and didn’t really have alot of input but she did make a very good soundtrack which we ended up using for the video so I was very impressed with her. One member of the group however I wasn’t happy about but I didn’t say anything about it because I was told not to by the rest of my group. Rebecca was late showing up to the meetings and she had never attended any meetings before this point, she had absolutely no input to the project at all and in the editing she just sat there not saying anything which kind of annoyed me, when I asked whether a shot I had edited looked good everyone chipped in and we discussed how to make it better or whether it should have been moved except for Rebecca.

I have really enjoyed doing this project and if this is what things are like in the real world of media then I cant wait to start, I have learned what it is like to work to a very tight deadline I have learned the stress of thinking we wont get the project done in time and I’ve experienced the drive to get it done and the pleasure to see the final product. Im impressed with the team I had to work with and I think the project was a huge success.

Pozbywszy się najgorszego brudu, Balalaika myła się szybkimi, nerwowymi ruchami, cały czas nasłuchując, czy mężczyzna nie zdecyduje się wtargnąć pod prysznic i dotrzymać jej towarzystwa. Z pewnością musiał być samotny, a fakt, że Radża usnęła, kładąc ledwo głowę na gałganie, który służył jej za poduszkę, bynajmniej nie uspokajał Balalaiki. Nagle wybuchła cichym, histerycznym śmiechem.

A nawet jakby wszedł, to co? Wziąłby, co mu się prawem gospodarza należy, nabił pewnie parę siniaków, bo nie wyglądał na łagodnego kochanka… no i? Czym to się różniło od jej codzienności sprzed kilkunastu dni? Balalaika zakryła usta dłońmi, by jej dziwny śmiech nie dotarł do uszu zabójcy i dziecka.

„ Stałam się straszna cnotką przez ten koniec świata…”

Ta myśl rozbawiła ją jeszcze bardziej i dopiero kolejna spowodowała bolesny uścisk w żołądku. Czyżby właśnie wpadła na przyczynę powściągliwości mężczyzny? Od początku traktował ją jak powietrze, natomiast małej Radży okazywał coś jakby suchą, męską czułość i opiekuńczość, wyraźnie też ucieszył się, gdy dawna prostytutka wspomniała, że chce zniknąć pod prysznicem, a teraz… został sam z małą.

Nagle włoski na karku kobiety podniosły się. Usłyszała głuchy jęk Radży. Czując jak blednie na twarzy, Balalaika wypadła spod prysznica, nie zakręcając nawet wody i owinąwszy się byle jak płachta materiału, który przy odrobinie wyobraźni mógł uchodzić za ręcznik, wyparzyła z łazienki. Nie wiedziała co prawda jak powstrzyma wyszkolonego mordercę, ale jednak resztka przyzwoitości nakazywała jej zareagować.

Wbiegłszy do pomieszczenia, stanęła w progu i szeroko otwartymi oczami spojrzała na zabójcę, który siedział teraz na krzywym krześle i kreślił coś w małym notatniku do czasu, aż kobieta stanęła przed nim półnaga. Teraz spoglądał na nią badawczo, oblicze miał jednak obojętne – jak zwykle. Wzrok Balalaiki przeskoczył tymczasem na Radżę, która akuratnie przekręciła się na swoim posłaniu, jęcząc przy tym przez sen. Rumieniec oblał policzki kobiety.

- Łazienka… wolna. – wykrztusiła.

I sure have been slacking on the updating of this page.  My Zero-G blog has been taking up all my time.

I have been making lots of progress on my 7′2″ fish of late.  It has been an enjoyable distraction from the hectic days this year.  I wish I had been more faithful to making progress so I could have tested it out already.  I imagine it will be a cold day, but I will feel good seeing it put through the paces no matter the weather (as long as there is some swell).

I will undertake the project of telling the full story on this project, over the next week or so.  It is looking very good and nearing completion.

A heart-shaped potato found in a woman’s weekly shopping goes for 72 on an internet auction site…. From BBC News. Full story

This site may contain information about: hollywood shopping. The blog is also related to: shopping center group.

Vendo Brasília Meio Velha, ano 72, com a frente da 84, traseira da 86 e lateral totalmente original. Baixa quilometragem (estava sempre na oficina), nunca bateu (sempre foi os outros que bateram). Único Dono… que fazia manutenção. Ver no páteo do Detran, somente hoje (amanhã vão levar para sucatear).

Project PEP è il nome della nuova limited edition di Jimmy Choo, che uscirà nei negozi il prossimo 3 Novembre. Una linea dedicata alla lotta contro l’AIDS e promossa da Elton John. Il 25% del ricavato andrà a Simelala, un centro Sudafricano dove si somministra il farmaco di Profilassi Post-esposizione al virus HIV, che ha effetto solo se preso entro 72 ore. Lo stile è multicolor e sembra un collage immagini. In primo piano sembra la british flag, mentre troviamo borse arricchite con borchiette e paillettes. Se siete fotografi e amate le scarpe non fatevi scappare il concorso correlato alla nuova collezione, chiamato “You, your shoes and 72″.

I have no clean clothes. I mean, I have some, but most of them are dirty.

Or in Colorado.

I’ve basically been living out of a suitcase for the last 3 weeks, since taking that roadtrip south with a car full of my belongings. Most of my belongings stayed in the car, and are currently parked outside my friend Amie’s house, just waiting for me to return and claim them. How I’m sure my belongings miss me…  So only the few, the proud (the marines) were left for me to live with for a month. And let me tell you, this last week did not have space for me to breathe, much less do laundry.

So I flew to California with a suitcase AND a guitar case packed with dirty clothes.

YES. I packed my guitar case full of clothes. Why? Well, primarily to pad my guitar. It’s a soft case, and I thought that little extra cushion would keep the guitar from banging back and forth inside the case and give it a firmer fit. And secondly, it allowed me extra space in my suitcase for all the crap I have with me.

For instance:

A credit card swiper.

CDs.

A ceramic coffee mug.

Collected mail from the last few weeks.

Books.

Not the kind of stuff I’d typically pack in a suitcase when going on a trip. What we’ve got here is what you’d call a special circumstance, people, and I’m making do just the best I can.

But to my point? I put on my jeans this morning, which incidentally I had just washed because I’d planned to wear them at my concert and then didn’t so I thought they were clean, but they smelled…….. OFF.

So I took them off.

And promptly worked on two loads of laundry today.

Which means that my opening statement is now actually false, as my actions today have thus altered my current clothing state from dirty to mostly clean. (The second load is still in the washer…)
