Robert H. Brown w in his book Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (New York. 1882, p. 31) calls heliocentrism Masonic Astronomy. “C. Fred Kleinknecht, head of NASA at the time of the Apollo Space Program, is now the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Council of the 33rd Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry if the Southern Jurisdiction. It was his reward for pulling it off. All of the first astronauts were Freemasons. There is a photograph in the House of the Temple in Washington DC of Neil Armstrong on the moon’s surface (supposedly) in his spacesuit holding his Masonic Apron in front of his groin.” Buzz Aldrin, a member of Clear Lake Lodge No.1417, Seabrook, Texas, took an embroidered flag showing the insignia of the Scottish Rite Freemasons (Southern Jurisdiction) on his journey, commemorated by a medallion issued in 1979. In its May/June 2001 issue, Psychology Today carried an interview with Astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin and fellow astronaut, Neil Armstrong, were the first to walk on the Moon, in 1969. Aldrin, a Freemason, was said to have conducted a bizarre Masonic ritual on the moon.
The Nuremberg Chronicle is a pictorial history of the earth from creation to the 1490s and was published in 1493. Michael Wohlgemuth's pictorial interpretation of the Creation in Genesis shows only circles, like Copernicus's diagram, on the first four consecutive days. And then suddenly in the fifth picture the miracle of colorful life appears: a river, a tree on the bank and a bird singing on its branches. You won't see any trace of life in Copernicus's diagram which is all about movements only. But the greatest surprise expects us in the seventh picture showing God reposing above His finished product – a series of earth-centered spheres with everything in its proper place (2:1-3). The caption of the third sphere sphaera ignis teaches us that the earth is surrounded by a ring of fire. You won't find this ring of fire in Copernicus's book or diagram. It turns out that The Nuremberg Chronicle is right. The modern science confirmed that.
The Thermosphere is the layer above the mesopause. The gases of the thermosphere are even thinner than those in the mesosphere, but they absorb ultraviolet light from the sun. Because of that, the temperatures rise to 3,600º F (2,000º C) at the top. This is at the height of 430 miles (700 km) of the earth's surface. (Keep in mind the towers did not implode immediately. It took time for the buildings to burn, weaken and fall. Some people wonder how in the world can steel melt. It can melt around 1400-1450°C. 2650 degrees F. However it can begin to bend under heavy weight long before it reaches those temperatures depending on the weight the steel supports. I guess they have never seen a steel factory as I have. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/109255-911_conspiracies-0)
Now, let me quote a short passage from the Epilogue of the book mentioned previously First on the Moon:
“Look at the command module itself – the only component of the 363-foot-high Apollo-Saturn assembly that does come safely back to earth. A substantial fraction of its weight consists of the massive heat shield that protects it during reentry into the atmosphere, and therefore serves no purpose at all during the last hundred miles of the half-million mile round trip.” We don't know what material was used for this shield because even tungsten or wolfram widely used in space missiles and other equipment that must withstand high temperatures, melts at 3410ºC.
And here is a question and an answer from an interview of Bill Keysing for Nardwuar the Human Serviette:
NTHS: Doesn’t NASA say that the reason there were no stars is because their cameras weren’t set for the proper exposure, isn’t that their line?
BK: That’s their line and that’s pure baloney, because I’ve talked to photographic experts who say that NASA have all the money in the world to have a camera that would have taken magnificent pictures of stars. But there’s a little problem, you know, the temperature on the moon is 250ºF during the lunar day, and a friend of mine put some film in an oven and ran it up to 250º F and the film just curled up. If you notice that the Hasselblad camera is worn outside of the astronaut’s suit and it is not curled in any way. So that camera would have heated up to the temperature to bake cookies in a very short time, because the Sun on the moon is absolutely relentless, there’s no atmosphere to mitigate the heat of the Sun. So it’s obvious that the pictures that they brought back were not taken on the moon, nor could they have actually taken any picture on the moon, even if they had gone there.
NASA FAKED A SHUTTLE IMAGE!!!!!
BABloggee parkylondon alerted me to this NASA image of the Space Shuttle Atlantis’s cockpit, taken in March 2000 during mission STS-101. He sent me a note via Twitter telling me how much he liked it, but as soon as I saw it I smelled a rat. A SPACE SHUTTLE-sized rat. The picture showed stars!
It is strange but not a single star could be seen on the pictures of the Moon flight. Stars are even brighter in space than as seen from the Earth. Instead, there was blue light streaming into the illuminators of the space ship, at the time when it is known that open space is absolutely black.
The thermosphere extends from an altitude of 100 km, which means that the astronauts sojourned for a while in a fiery furnace 600 km long. There is total silence in their logbook on the stretch between 177 miles and 3,140 miles distances from the earth. The astronauts and most encyclopedias keep mum on the temperature of the thermosphere for obvious religious reasons. According to the Koran, Muhammad ascended to heaven from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on the horse Buraq which had four human heads (In Polish folklore, a certain Twardowski ascended to the moon on a cock). In Soviet artist Belov’s huge painting Space Brothers, c. 1980, the figures on horseback carry the symbols of Soviet Russia triumphantly into space. The Soviets assimilated the Islamic religious imagery for political purposes. Keep in mind that their space missions were launched from the aerodrome at Bajkonur which is in Kazakhstan, a Muslim country. Politically, any mission into space is a minefield.
Religion enters the picture of First on the Moon on July 20. During a service in the Webster Presbyterian Church, of which Buzz Aldrin was an elder, the Reverend Dean Woodruf said in his sermon: “When self-fulfillment and fulfillment are put together perfectly we are what we are meant to be. This is what Nietzsche developed in his idea of the “Superman.” This is not a new biological species but a new kind of man who realizes his capacity for self-transcendence and self-fulfillment. This is what Nietzsche meant when he spoke through Zarathustra: 'Bless the cup which is about to overflow, so that the water, golden flowing out of it, may carry everywhere the reflection of thy rapture. Lo! This cup is about to empty itself again, and Zarathustra will once more become a man.” As you may recall, Nietzsche's Uebermensch (superman) was pictured as a “blond, blue-eyed beast”. Incidentally, N. Armstrong is a blond, blue-eyed man (or beast, if you prefer the Darwinian jargon) and has a statue of the Buddha (with a swastika on his chest) in his apartment. Recently, he paid a visit to Israel.
Well, in the cartoon The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, an episode titled The 'N' Men had Jimmy and his friends careening out of control through the Van Allen radiation belt, giving them all superpowers based on what each was doing at the moment they went through the radiation belt. This situation parodies the origins of the Fantastic Four.
The Reverend Woodruf preached his sermon while the astronauts were traveling through the Van Allen Belts.
Between 50 km and 85 km above the ground Mesosphere extends. The temperatures in this zone drop to -184º F (-120º C) at the mesopause.
A test pilot named Joe Kittinger jumped from 74,000 feet. Near 40,000 feet, his thermometer read 98 degrees below zero, but his pressure suit, which was electrically heated, kept all but his legs warm. When Kittinger landed in the desert, thirteen minutes and 45 seconds after leaving the gondola, only his right hand bore any evidence of his journey from space. On that side, the glove had failed to pressurize, and the hand had inflated to almost twice its normal size. The swelling went down eventually, but the memory of a hostile sky stayed with him.” Man will never conquer space,” Kittinger had told his crew over the radio before he leaped. “He will learn to live with it, but he will never conquer it.” (Burkhard Bilger, Falling The New Yorker, Aug 13, 2007)
William Cooper wrote:
“NASA was created to make interstellar travel believable. The Apollo Space Program foisted the idea that man could travel to, and walk upon, the moon. Every Apollo mission was carefully rehearsed and then filmed in large sound stages at the Atomic Energy Commissions Top Secret test site in the Nevada Desert and in a secured and guarded sound stage at the Walt Disney Studios within which was a huge scale mock-up of the moon. No man has ever ascended higher than 300 miles, if that high, above the earth’s surface. No man has ever orbited, landed on, or walked upon the moon in any publicly known space program. Any intelligent student with a basic physics can prove NASA faked the Apollo moon landings.” http://harvest-trust.org/majestyt.htm
If the Muslims can believe in Muhammad ascending to heaven on a horse, millions of others can believe in the Apollo landing on the moon. People always need to believe in something.
Peeping into the Mind of Newton:
Newton was a Cambridge Platonist. Let's peep into the mind of the Cambridge Platonist Henry More. In his Antidote to Atheism (1668), he warmly defended the story of a “witch” who had been married to Satan for 30 years; and he thought it sheer blasphemy to question the ability of witches to raise storms by incantation, or ride on a broom. He so purified himself in body that his urine had the fragrance of violets (Gandhi used to wash himself with his urine and was a violent anti-Semite, because the Jews refuse to do that)
Don't you dare to doubt that they can go the moon on their brooms!
The radical lesbian feminist Mary Daly, a brilliant woman has become totally committed to this new worldview.(New Age) In her various books, like Pure Lust and another one called Outercourse: The Be-Dazzling Voyage, she describes the meeting of radical witch feminists on the other side of the moon. Thousands of liberated women from the past and the present are gathered on the other side of the moon… you understand this is just playful… and in this gathering there is enormous rage against patriarchy... And so these women howl in unison as a sort of liturgical chant: "For peace and love we ever yearn, but some do wrong and never learn. This time it won’t be us that burn. Another New Age channeler, Ken Carey, says, "The great day of purification has begun...”
“For you (Nebuchadnezzar) have said in your heart: I will ascend to Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds and will be like the most High” (Isa 14:13ff)

Russia, China to partner in Missions to Moon, Mars
U.S. House honors ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (Xinhua)
MOSCOW Russia plans to cooperate with China in robotic missions to the moon and Mars and other space projects, officials said Nov. 9, 2006. Confucius, like the Biblical Moses professed geocentrism as expressed in his world-famous saying. The ideal prince of China professing Confucian geocentrism rules by moral force (te) contrasted with li “physical force”; he is compared to the north polar-star, which remains in its place while all the lesser stars turn about it. (Cp. Job 26:7). This geocentrism is proclaimed by the flag of China showing stars turning about the north polar-star.
We find the same logic in the Tanakh:
The relationship between our status as a nation and our ethical standing is iterated and reiterated throughout the Bible. Even those biblical passages which emphasize divine love as the reason for the election conclude with a warning: "But you shall observe the statutes and commandments which I have commanded you this day, that it may go well with you and with your children so you may lengthen your days on the land which the Lord your God has given you…" (Deut. 4:40)… "And you shall know that the Lord your God, He is God the faithful God who observes the covenant and - lovingkindness for those who love Him and observe His commandments … So you shall observe the commandment and the statutes and the laws which I have commanded you this day to do them (Deut. 7:9-11). (R. Shlomo Riskin, Why Israel is God's Chosen, the Jerusalem Post, Nov. 06, 2009)
Tel Aviv University is set to open a new institute this October for Chinese studies. The Confucius Institute for Chinese Studies, the first of its kind in Israel, is a joint venture between the university and the Chinese government. It will offer classes on the language, history, and culture of China, and unlike regular university courses, will be open to the public. Israel will be the third country in the Middle East, after Lebanon and Turkey, with such a program (Dateline. World Jewry. July/August 2007)
The first American missiles and the entire Apollo program was built on Von Braun’s German technology. The Russian program was similarly also based on the German programs. In fact the first V2-rockets in the Museums in Washington are simply German rocket painted red 9for Russia) and other colors for America.
“Upon this rock...” (Mt. 16:18) A moon rock given to the Dutch prime minister by Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969 is a fake.
Telegraph | Aug 29, 2009
Curators at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where the rock has attracted tens of thousands of visitors each year, discovered that the “lunar rock”, valued at £308,000, was in fact petrified wood.
Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation, said the museum would continue to keep the stone as a curiosity.
The rock was given to Willem Drees, a former Dutch leader, during a global tour by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin following their moon mission 50 years ago.
J. William Middendorf, the former American ambassador to the Netherlands, made the presentation to Mr Drees and the rock was then donated to the Rijksmuseum after his death in 1988.
“I do remember that Drees was very interested in the little piece of stone. But that it’s not real, I don’t know anything about that,” Mr Middendorf said.
Nasa gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries* following lunar missions in 1969 and the 1970s.
The United States Embassy in The Hague is carrying out an investigation into the affair.
Researchers Amsterdam’s Free University were able to tell at a glance that the rock was unlikely to be from the moon, a conclusion that was borne out by tests.
*Interestingly enough, Mme H.P. Blavatsky the foundress of the lodge of Theosophy in her letter to the editor of Frankin Register upon having been conferred the diploma of the thirty-third Masonic Degree, mentioned “the numberless humbugs that have been imposed upon the Craft during the last half century” (A Modern Panarion. 1895)
Apollo moon rocks lost in space? No, lost on Earth
September 15, 2009, AP | Sep 14, 2009 By TOBY STERLING
The detection of a fake moon rock in the Netherlands’ national museum should serve as a wake-up call for more than 130 countries who received gifts of lunar rubble from both the Apollo 11 flight in 1969 and Apollo 17 three years later. The Misidentification raised questions about how well countries have safeguarded their presents from Washington.
NASA keeps most of the 382 kilograms (842 lbs) gathered by the Apollo missions locked away, giving small samples to researchers and lending a set of larger rocks for exhibitions.
Apollo 11 gift rocks typically weigh just 0.05 grams, scarcely more than a grain of rice. The Apollo 17 gift rocks weigh about 1.1 grams. Both are encased in plastic globes to protect them and ease viewing.
The Amsterdam case appears to be not fraud but the result of poor vetting by the Rijksmuseum.
Spokeswoman Xandra van Gelder said the museum checked with NASA after receiving the rock in 1992 from the estate of the late Prime Minister Willem Drees. NASA told the museum, without seeing it, that it was “possible” it was a moon rock.
But it weighed a whopping 89 grams (3.1 ounces). In addition, its gold-colored cardboard plaque does not describe it as a moon rock.
The U.S. ambassador gave Drees the rock during an Oct. 9, 1969 visit by the Apollo 11 astronauts to the Netherlands. Drees’s grandson, also named Willem, told the AP his grandfather had been out of office for more than a decade and was nearly deaf and blind in 1969, though his mind was still sharp.
“My guess is that he did not hear well what was said,” said the grandson. “He may have formed his own idea about what it was.”
The family never thought to question the story before donating the rock, to which it had not attached great importance or monetary value.
APPENDIX
“Control of Space”,
Pres. L. Johnson argued in his address to the Democratic Caucus in 1958, “means control of the world…From space the masters of infinity would have the power to control the earth’s weather, to cause drought and flood, to change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the gulf stream and change temperate climate to frigid… There is something more important than the ultimate weapon. That is the ultimate position – the position of total control over earth that lies somewhere in outer space… and if there is this ultimate position, then our national goal and the goal of all free men must be to win and hold that position.”
Owning the Moon
It's not quite as exhilarating a feeling as orbiting the earth, but it's close.
In addition, it has an exotic, bizarre quality due entirely to the nature of the surface below.
The earth from orbit is a delight - offering visual variety and an emotional feeling of belonging down there .Not so with this withered, sun-seared peach pit out of my window.There is no comfort to it; it is too stark and barren; its invitation is monotonous and meant for geologists only.

The Lunar Embassy (www.lunarembassy.com) has been selling property in outer space for over 20 years. You can currently buy property on the Moon, Mars, Venus and Jupiter's moon. The company and the property sales are completely legal. According to the website, M Dennis Hope went to his local US Governmental Office for claim registries in 1980 and made a claim for the entire lunar surface as well as the surface of all the other eight planets of our solar system and their moons. His claim was registered and he then notified the General Assembly of the United Nations as well as the governments of the United States and Russia. No one contested the claim. Mr Hope copyrighted his work with the US copyright office and began selling extraterrestrial properties.

It is true. You too can become a Lunar land owner by purchasing acres of land on the Moon. THE LUNAR EMBASSY has been selling land on the Moon for the past 22 years. They were THE FIRST and THE ONLY COMPANY in the world to possess a legal basis and copyright for the sale of Lunar and other extraterrestrial property within the confines of our solar system.http://lunarlandowner.com
U.S Congress finally recognizes Lunar Embassy as being valid, grants awards and more
We want to congratulate Dennis Hope, founder of the Lunar Embassy, for the wonderful acknowledgment he has received from the Congress of the United States. Dennis Hope has been named co-chairman of the Republican Congressional Business Advisory Council. He has also been issued the highest honor the National Republican Congressional Committee has, the prestigious Republican Gold Medal.
Dennis states, "The most perplexing aspect of these wonderful recognitions is, I am not a Republican. Actually I disagree with the two party system and think it should be drastically overhauled. I am pleased that our work for the last twenty-three years is finally beginning to be recognized by the United States government as being valid. This is a huge step in the official recognition by the USA for the claims we made and the diligence with which we have pursued our challenging quest. Finally a major world power has spoken to us and they have been kind.”
Over 5,000,000+ people from 176 countries around the world own extraterrestrial property.

Some years ago you purchased via mail order one acre of the Moon - we are sure you still have the Certificate at home somewhere. It appears that the Moon Certificate of Ownership that you possess is actually a legal document under International Law. This being the case, the Department would like to offer you $120,000.00 for your acre of land on the Moon as it is holding up construction of our new secret Moonbase. It is directly in the way of the bypass we are trying to build.
Please contact our website to find details of how you can sell us this land. It is your patriotic duty to assist with this - in fact if you help us we may even name an airlock after you.
Sincerely Yours,

Catholicism and Masonry Incompatible
the Catholic Church teaches that Freemasonry and Christianity are incompatible. The Holy See in 1983 reiterated the traditional position that Catholics who are Freemasons are in a state of grave sin and may not receive the sacraments - the Declaration on Masonic Associations was signed by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and makes it clear that local bishops cannot dispense from its provisions. There were two reasons for this document: first, the new Code of Canon Law, which came out at the same time, no longer mentioned Freemasonry by name in its list of organizations which Catholics are forbidden from joining; second, mistaken advice had been given in the late Seventies in Britain and America which suggested that Catholics could be Freemasons if local lodges were not anti-Catholic; the 1983 rescript corrected that advice. Consequently, Anglicans or others who are Freemasons wishing to become Catholics will have to discard their aprons: this may keep the numbers of potential converts down.

Newton, an Apostle of the god Shiva
The most widely used textbook on college campuses for the past 30 years has been Thomas Kuhn’s “The Structure of Scientific Revolution” and its thesis – that facts derive their meaning from the paradigms that set them in place – has shifted attention from scientific facts to scientific paradigms. As there are no neutral standards by which to judge these paradigms, Kuhn’s thesis (if unnuanced) leads to a relativism among paradigms that places Hottentot Science on a par with Newton’s. Kuhn himself phrased his thesis carefully enough to parry such relativism, but even taken at its best, it provides no way that science could get to the bottom of things. (Huston Smith, Why Religion Matters, p. 16)
Wlliam Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth I and James I while explaining the behavior of the compass needle in his book De magnete used the phrase “magnetic coition” (The name of the Slavic sun-god Kupala is derived from Latin copulatio) rather than magnetic attraction, “because magnetic movements do not result from attraction of one body alone, but from coming together of two bodies harmoniously (not the drawing of one by the other). Inspired by Fracastoro’s “De Contagione et Contagiosis Morbis et Curatione (On Contagion and Contagious Diseases and their Cure) of 1546 Gilbert believed that all heavenly bodies are endowed with magnetism.
The most popular medieval encyclopedia which diffused philosophical heliocentrism through the curricula of the Latin trivia and quadrivia and which is mentioned in Copernicus's preface was entitled Satyricon sive de nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii (Satyricon or about the Wedding of Philology and Mercury).
Kepler was to use this idea to explain the motion of the planets. He was well aware of the fact that the Latin term sidus, star is derived from Gr. Sideros, iron. Similarly the Provencal aran, iran, airan – iron – is etymologically connected with the Greek aryan meaning both “lodestone” and “rising sun”. The English term siderite means magnetic iron or lodestone. (Cp. Galileo’s “Sidereus Nuncius” ). Let me remind here that in an Assyrian love spell from ancient Iraq, iron filings placed on a woman’s genitals were supposed to attract her to a man who had similarly anointed himself with a mixture of powdered lodestone and oil. The sexual ingredient of Gilbert’s “magnetic coition” was set by Newton into his Third Law which sees forces as acting between two bodies, not as one body exerting a force on the other. He spoke of action and reaction, which he declared to be equal and opposite. Here Newton differs from Copernicus whose sun in Th. Digges's translation is “like the king in the middest of al who reigneth and geeveth lawes of motion to ye rest.”
The idea of star magnetism or gravity is better understandable in the context of meteorites that from time immemorial were used for the manufacture of iron tools. The ancient people knew of the precious metal’s celestial origin for in many languages the name for it contains a reference to the sky (Gr. Meteoron, things in the air, lifted up, in air). Coming from gods, as it was believed, they were venerated in temples. One of the best known instances is that of the Ephesians; they were worshippers not of the goddess Diana and the “image which fell down from Jupiter,” as the unfortunate translation of Acts 19:35 runs in the authorized English version, but of Diana and of the “thing that fell from the sky.” Similarly, in Delphi besides Apollo a holy stone was the object of adoration. The “iron shield” which fell in Rome under the reign of Numa Pompilius was put in the perpetual custody of a college of 12 priests. The ‘black stone’ of the Kaba is no doubt, a stone meteorite with its strange black crust. In the ruins of an ancient Mexican temple an iron meteorite was unearthed, carefully wrapped in mummy cloths. A shower of stones which fell from the sky in 1803 at l’Aigle, not far from Paris, finally convinced the Paris Academy and the rest of the scientific world of the reality of the fall of meteorites.
Astrology was attacked by Aristotelians and other rationalists, down to Newton’s day, for its now accepted assertion that the planets had an “influence” upon terrestrial events. Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Newton, like Kepler, was influenced by the same Hermetic tradition. He felt that the apparent attraction of tiny bits of paper to a piece of glass that has been rubbed with cloth results from an ethereal effluvium that streams out of the glass and carries the bits of paper back with it. This mechanical philosophy explained apparent attractions away by means of invisible ethereal mechanisms. The ancient heliocentrist, Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten had himself portrayed sitting in the sun’s rays ending in hands. For him these rays ending in hands had the same meaning as ethereal effluvium had for Newton. Akhenaten’s god was symbolized by a circle with many hands (Cp. Shiva with 6 hands).
Kepler's angelus rector conducting each planet, and the species immateriata by which celestial bodies were carried in their courses became in Newton's third letter to Bentley, the “agent which causes gravity”, and in his personal working - God. In his paper De aere et aethere Newton identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. No doubt about that that Newton's identification of Jesus with gravity was inspired by Paul's Letter to the Colossiansin in which cosmic Christ “holds all things in unity.”
But wait, there is more. In the Pipes of Pan, a proposed Scholium to the Principia Mathematica of 1687 Newton rewrote the myth of Pythagoras claiming that the inverse-square law of gravitation had been known to the earliest sages. The same law had been discovered, Newton wrote, between a string's length and its tension for a given musical pitch, before it was applied to the heavens where it was observed by Shiva Nataraja, Apollo Musagetes and all other solar deities.
Newton's dilemma behind the inverse square law of gravitation is understandable in the context of the myth of Shiva. With drum and dance, he represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation, and dancing is one of the many aspects of Shiva's essence. Dance produced rhythm and that rhythm, Newton thought, must have been observed in his 'scientific” law of gravitation. Similarly, the formulation “cube roots of squares” used in Opticks was known from Kepler's Third Law, deduced again in Principia, to show the average distance of a planet from the sun is proportional to a cube root of the square of the planet's period of revolution. In his Harmony of the World (1619) Kepler calculated from the greatest and the slowest speed of each planet the “divine” musical scales of the planets.
Newton's Pipes of Pan will return in Darwin's ritual because heliocentrism and evolutionism always went hand in hand. In music the Greeks distinguished: rhythms, mutations, and melopoeia. According to Douland to a Musitian (1609) “Mutation is the putting of one concord for another in the same key. According to The New Age Dictionary. A Guide to Planetary Family Consciousness. Ed. By Alex Jack. (Japan Publications, Inc. 1990), Charles Darwin was “evolutionist who played a bassoon for his plants.” The New Age Magic of Findhorn describes plenty of such mutations inspiring concerts. One of them is 40-pound cabbages, which reminds of the Soviet biologist Michurin who allegedly got a mutation of 10-pound apples. Problem was that the branches were breaking…
Music of a fakir’s flute drew up the akasa or intangible life-principle, the astral and celestial lights combined together, in a concentrated current through the plant, and by keeping up an unintermitted flow for the requisite space of time, the life-principle of the plant built up cell after cell, layer after layer, until the work was done. The will of the fakir-conjurer forms an invisible but yet, to it, perfectly objective matrix, in which the vegetable matter is caused to deposit itself and assume the fixed shape. So mutations don’t happen by chance, after all. They are created by the god Pan’s music even if Darwin himself plagiarized this music! The will creates, for the will in motion is force, and force produces matter. This philosophy is also behind the title of the biographical film about Hitler produced by Leni Riefenstahl Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will).

A Newtonian Sexuary
In explaining human disease, if everything else failed, one could always appeal to the influence of the stars on the elements, which accounts for the fact that a knowledge of astrology was still needed to qualify in medicine as late as the second half of the 18th century. Paracelsus used magnets to concentrate in his patients what he believed to be a cosmic fluid with healing properties. A certain Dr. Graham constructed a large “Celestial Bed” and equipped it with 1500 pounds of “artificial and compound magnets” that “revivified slackening sexual vigor”. This Newtonian “viagra’ was dispensed by a blacksmith’s daughter named Ami Lyon, a provocatively dressed (like Copernicus’s Muse) hostess in Dr. Graham’s Temple of Health. Billed as “Vestina the Rosy Goddess of Health”, she was better known as Lady Hamilton, Adm. Nelson’s mistress. It usually cost some gentlemen 50 pounds a night.
Dr. Graham’s French equivalent was Friedrich Anton Mesmer, a doctor who took many of his ideas from the Jesuit priest Maximillian Hell. Mesmer’s dissertation was titled “Dissertatio Physico-Medica de Planetarum Influxu”. In later years he referred to his dissertation as The Influence of the Planets on the Human Body. Mesmer uses the phrase “Universal Fluid” as the cause of gravitation and claims that it also explains magnetism, electricity, light and heat. All things are immersed in this fluid as in a cosmic sea. In their attraction and repulsion, magnets set up an ebb and flow that could be interpreted as one version of the general tidal effect of which the gravitation of the heavenly bodies was another version.

Wlliam Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth I and James I while explaining the behavior of the compass needle in his book De magnete used the phrase “magnetic coition” (The name of the Slavic sun-god Kupala is derived from Latin copulatio) rather than magnetic attraction, “because magnetic movements do not result from attraction of one body alone, but from coming together of two bodies harmoniously (not the drawing of one by the other). Inspired by Fracastoro’s “De Contagione et Contagiosis Morbis et Curatione (On Contagion and Contagious Diseases and their Cure) of 1546 Gilbert believed that all heavenly bodies are endowed with magnetism.
The most popular medieval encyclopedia which diffused philosophical heliocentrism through the curricula of the Latin trivia and quadrivia and which is mentioned in Copernicus's preface was entitled Satyricon sive de nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii (Satyricon or about the Wedding of Philology and Mercury).
Kepler was to use this idea to explain the motion of the planets. He was well aware of the fact that the Latin term sidus, star is derived from Gr. Sideros, iron. Similarly the Provencal aran, iran, airan – iron – is etymologically connected with the Greek aryan meaning both “lodestone” and “rising sun”. The English term siderite means magnetic iron or lodestone. (Cp. Galileo’s “Sidereus Nuncius” ). Let me remind here that in an Assyrian love spell from ancient Iraq, iron filings placed on a woman’s genitals were supposed to attract her to a man who had similarly anointed himself with a mixture of powdered lodestone and oil. The sexual ingredient of Gilbert’s “magnetic coition” was set by Newton into his Third Law which sees forces as acting between two bodies, not as one body exerting a force on the other. He spoke of action and reaction, which he declared to be equal and opposite. Here Newton differs from Copernicus whose sun in Th. Digges's translation is “like the king in the middest of al who reigneth and geeveth lawes of motion to ye rest.”
The idea of star magnetism or gravity is better understandable in the context of meteorites that from time immemorial were used for the manufacture of iron tools. The ancient people knew of the precious metal’s celestial origin for in many languages the name for it contains a reference to the sky (Gr. Meteoron, things in the air, lifted up, in air). Coming from gods, as it was believed, they were venerated in temples. One of the best known instances is that of the Ephesians; they were worshippers not of the goddess Diana and the “image which fell down from Jupiter,” as the unfortunate translation of Acts 19:35 runs in the authorized English version, but of Diana and of the “thing that fell from the sky.” Similarly, in Delphi besides Apollo a holy stone was the object of adoration. The “iron shield” which fell in Rome under the reign of Numa Pompilius was put in the perpetual custody of a college of 12 priests. The ‘black stone’ of the Kaba is no doubt, a stone meteorite with its strange black crust. In the ruins of an ancient Mexican temple an iron meteorite was unearthed, carefully wrapped in mummy cloths. A shower of stones which fell from the sky in 1803 at l’Aigle, not far from Paris, finally convinced the Paris Academy and the rest of the scientific world of the reality of the fall of meteorites.
Astrology was attacked by Aristotelians and other rationalists, down to Newton’s day, for its now accepted assertion that the planets had an “influence” upon terrestrial events. Since time immemorial astrology went hand in hand with the theory of emanationism, philosophical and theological theory that saw all of creation as an unwilled, necessary and spontaneous outflow of contingent beings of descending perfection, from an infinite, unchanged primary substance. In conformity with this theory Kepler wrote about “species immateriata” which flows out of the sun, inundates all the planets, including the earth, and sets them in whirling motion. Newton, like Kepler, was influenced by the same Hermetic tradition. He felt that the apparent attraction of tiny bits of paper to a piece of glass that has been rubbed with cloth results from an ethereal effluvium that streams out of the glass and carries the bits of paper back with it. This mechanical philosophy explained apparent attractions away by means of invisible ethereal mechanisms. The ancient heliocentrist, Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten had himself portrayed sitting in the sun’s rays ending in hands. For him these rays ending in hands had the same meaning as ethereal effluvium had for Newton. Akhenaten’s god was symbolized by a circle with many hands (Cp. Shiva with 6 hands).
Kepler's angelus rector conducting each planet, and the species immateriata by which celestial bodies were carried in their courses became in Newton's third letter to Bentley, the “agent which causes gravity”, and in his personal working - God. In his paper De aere et aethere Newton identified gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ. No doubt about that that Newton's identification of Jesus with gravity was inspired by Paul's Letter to the Colossiansin in which cosmic Christ “holds all things in unity.”
But wait, there is more. In the Pipes of Pan, a proposed Scholium to the Principia Mathematica of 1687 Newton rewrote the myth of Pythagoras claiming that the inverse-square law of gravitation had been known to the earliest sages. The same law had been discovered, Newton wrote, between a string's length and its tension for a given musical pitch, before it was applied to the heavens where it was observed by Shiva Nataraja, Apollo Musagetes and all other solar deities.
Newton's dilemma behind the inverse square law of gravitation is understandable in the context of the myth of Shiva. With drum and dance, he represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation, and dancing is one of the many aspects of Shiva's essence. Dance produced rhythm and that rhythm, Newton thought, must have been observed in his 'scientific” law of gravitation. Similarly, the formulation “cube roots of squares” used in Opticks was known from Kepler's Third Law, deduced again in Principia, to show the average distance of a planet from the sun is proportional to a cube root of the square of the planet's period of revolution. In his Harmony of the World (1619) Kepler calculated from the greatest and the slowest speed of each planet the “divine” musical scales of the planets.
Newton's Pipes of Pan will return in Darwin's ritual because heliocentrism and evolutionism always went hand in hand. In music the Greeks distinguished: rhythms, mutations, and melopoeia. According to Douland to a Musitian (1609) “Mutation is the putting of one concord for another in the same key. According to The New Age Dictionary. A Guide to Planetary Family Consciousness. Ed. By Alex Jack. (Japan Publications, Inc. 1990), Charles Darwin was “evolutionist who played a bassoon for his plants.” The New Age Magic of Findhorn describes plenty of such mutations inspiring concerts. One of them is 40-pound cabbages, which reminds of the Soviet biologist Michurin who allegedly got a mutation of 10-pound apples. Problem was that the branches were breaking…
Music of a fakir’s flute drew up the akasa or intangible life-principle, the astral and celestial lights combined together, in a concentrated current through the plant, and by keeping up an unintermitted flow for the requisite space of time, the life-principle of the plant built up cell after cell, layer after layer, until the work was done. The will of the fakir-conjurer forms an invisible but yet, to it, perfectly objective matrix, in which the vegetable matter is caused to deposit itself and assume the fixed shape. So mutations don’t happen by chance, after all. They are created by the god Pan’s music even if Darwin himself plagiarized this music! The will creates, for the will in motion is force, and force produces matter. This philosophy is also behind the title of the biographical film about Hitler produced by Leni Riefenstahl Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will).

A Newtonian Sexuary
In explaining human disease, if everything else failed, one could always appeal to the influence of the stars on the elements, which accounts for the fact that a knowledge of astrology was still needed to qualify in medicine as late as the second half of the 18th century. Paracelsus used magnets to concentrate in his patients what he believed to be a cosmic fluid with healing properties. A certain Dr. Graham constructed a large “Celestial Bed” and equipped it with 1500 pounds of “artificial and compound magnets” that “revivified slackening sexual vigor”. This Newtonian “viagra’ was dispensed by a blacksmith’s daughter named Ami Lyon, a provocatively dressed (like Copernicus’s Muse) hostess in Dr. Graham’s Temple of Health. Billed as “Vestina the Rosy Goddess of Health”, she was better known as Lady Hamilton, Adm. Nelson’s mistress. It usually cost some gentlemen 50 pounds a night.
Dr. Graham’s French equivalent was Friedrich Anton Mesmer, a doctor who took many of his ideas from the Jesuit priest Maximillian Hell. Mesmer’s dissertation was titled “Dissertatio Physico-Medica de Planetarum Influxu”. In later years he referred to his dissertation as The Influence of the Planets on the Human Body. Mesmer uses the phrase “Universal Fluid” as the cause of gravitation and claims that it also explains magnetism, electricity, light and heat. All things are immersed in this fluid as in a cosmic sea. In their attraction and repulsion, magnets set up an ebb and flow that could be interpreted as one version of the general tidal effect of which the gravitation of the heavenly bodies was another version.
Of the 1752 books in Newton’s library, 170 were on occult subjects, including the kabbala, Rosicrucians, and plain old-fashioned magic.

The Biblical Geology vs. Darwin
According to the Book of Genesis, “God created man in his own image.” According to Aristotle, “men create the gods after their own image.” According to Darwin, man evolved in the image of Ape. The apes, Hitler claimed, trampled every outsider (he meant a Jew) to death, as an enemy of the community, “and what was Right for apes must be even more applicable to men.” (Tischgespraeche, p. 346) KJV, inspired by the crusaders' spirit, smuggled into Gen 1:20 the mythological evolutionism and in Ex 15:14 it introduced the name Palestina for the territories inhabited by the Greek “crusaders” Philistines whose god Dagon half-fish, half-man symbolized the evolution known from the Babylonian mythology. Actually the name Palestina in the form Syro-Palestina was introduced by the Romans after the final destruction of the Judean state, in 2nd Century C.E. In the opinion of the British Darwinist elites and their American admirers such as for example, Clare Booth Luce, the lower classes and the Jews were considered the mongrel i.e. weak, subhuman races (“unfit”) of the world, and as such, should be exterminated, which, by the way became the core teaching of the present New Agers. Incidentally, Darwin regarded women as inferior, asserting that the traditional feminine attributes – intuition, imagination – were 'characteristic of lower races, and therefore of a past and lower civilization.' Obviously, Clare Booth Luce did not bother to read Darwin's books; she just proclaimed slogans of her caste. Ambassador to the U.N. In March 2009 former U.S. Ambassador to the NN John Bolton said that President Obama in effect has placed Israel “on the chopping block.”
At the Tea Party movement in Nashville, Tennessee it was Sarah Pailin, “seeing Russia from her window” who gave the keynote ddress. In the opinion of the Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick expressed in her Column One of 12/2/2010 Sara Pailin is “ the strongest single American voice opposing Obama’s foreign policy, supporting Israel and denying Iran nuclear weapons.” Indeed, at her invitation, WND founder Joseph Farah joined her as speaker at the same convention.
*Joseph Farah, Arab-American journalist reminds repeatedly: There is no language known as Palestinian. Nobody ever saw a Palestinian-English dictionary. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There was never a festival of Palestinian culture in any country of the world. Only mad monks like those who translated KJV could have imagined that it was Palestinians who actually wrote the Bible under Goliath’s inspiration. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass...Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough...
In 2009, WND published book titledYou Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, but you cannot make him think by top Christian author Ray Comfort, which rocketed up the Amazon.com rankings on its first day of relese, moving from No. 69,572 to No. 38 in 24 hours. R. Comfort revealed in his book that the Vatican is encouraging atheism, in the name of diversity, exactly, like the U.S. Colleges and universities that “are turning out atheists like there is no tomorrow.” “It seems strange that the Vatican can stand without wavering on the subject of abortion and cave in on the subject of evolution.” R. Comfort opined in his book that “Darwin's theory is a fantasy – a ridiculous and unscientific fairy tale for grownups.”
Sarah Pailin seems to follow in the footsteps of her party colleagues, like Senators Delay and Sam Brownback who in the blog accompanying his presidential campaign unmasked heliocentrism as an atheist doctrine and which published my essays about Scientific Imposisbility of heliocentrism.
Science Minister Weighs in On Evolution Debate
Adar 18, 5770, 04 March 10 11:04, by Gil Ronen
(Israelnationalnews.com) Minister of Science and Technology Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz (Jewish Home) defended the Chief Scientist of the Education Ministry, Dr. Gabi Avital, in a weekend interview. Avital has come under fire for saying schoolchildren should be exposed to opinions that criticize Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and should be aware of the opposition to current theories regarding global warming.
Minister Hershkowitz defended Dr. Avital and said that there was indeed criticism of certain aspects of the theory of evolution and that there was no reason to fire the Chief Scientist.
Prof. Hershkowitz said that as a rabbi and scientist, he saw no contradiction between religious faith and acceptance of the basic tenets of Darwinian evolution. He quoted from the teachings of Rabbi Gedalya Nadel of Sforno, who lived three centuries before Darwin and who contended that the creation of Man in G-d's image was the final stage of a long process that began with an unintelligent creature “from the category of animals,” that developed over time into mankind.
Darwin's proofs appear convincing, Min. Hershkowitz said, but his theory “still contains sizable parts that constitute speculation that could theoretically eventually turn out to be wrong. Therefore there is no need to treat it as an absolute truth that cannot be doubted.”
One of the problems with the theory of evolution is that no one has seen mutations occur and change a living species in the period of recorded history. If mutations, which in Darwinian theory explain the evolution of different species, were the basis of that evolution in primeval times, they should be continuing to occur.
Dr. Avital had been quoted as saying: “If the educational texts write explicitly that Man is descended from apes – I will want students exposed to other opinions and to deal with them. There are many people who think the Theory of Evolution is wrong.” - Well, Rabbi Gedalya Nadel of Sforno was a Jewish Thomas Aquinas who also embraced evolutionism of the Hindu “soaring speculator” Manu: "Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (Book I, sloka 20).
Russian president abolishes federal agencies for science and education
06/03/201018:03 RIA novosti
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree abolishing the federal agencies for science and education and giving their functions to the Ministry of Education and Science, the Kremlin press service said on Saturday.
It was the Ministry of Education and Science which introduced to public schools in Russia the ant-Drawinist book, In the Minds of Men. Darwin and the New World Order, by Ian T. Tylor. Incidentally, the book was published in 1984 when John Paul II started promoting the idea of an “independent” Palestinian state.
God's “Pillars” of The Earth
Andrew Dickson White in his History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom wrote: “Still, at various times and places, germs implanted by Greek and Roman thought were warmed into life. The Arabian schools seem to have been less fettered by the letter of the Koran than the contemporary Christian scholars by the letter of the Bible; and to Avicenna belongs the credit of first announcing substantially the modern geological theory of changes in the earth's surface.” Mr. White got it totally wrong.
According to his false theory Avicenna accounted for the fossils by suggesting a “stone-making force.” His belief was inspired by the myth of the birth of the Persian god Mithra who was forced out of a rock (petra genetrix, or, Hesiod's materia matrix) as if by some hidden magic power. His birth inspired Darwin with the idea that evolution is controlled by a “force” that acts on plants and animals slowly, over the course of many generations, to produce changes in their forms.
Long before Avicenna, following the Mihraic birth myth, St. Augustine, a former Manichee interpreted Genesis to mean that God created animals and plants only virtually, in the sense that the earth was given the power to bring forth living things in time. In such an exegesis the earth regained its mythological divine power. The New Age belief that the earth is, actually, ancient goddess Gaia is the modern variant of the ancient myth. In Darwin's Myth it was Thales's water (“Little, Warm Pond”) which brought forth living things.
Darwin's goddess Mutability vs. the God who creates and maintains life on Earth
In the Darwinian scheme nature, so far as we can discern, without passion and without intention, forms, transforms, and retransforms forever. She neither weeps nor rejoices. She produces man without purpose, and obliterates him without regret. She knows no distinction between the beneficial and the hurtful.
In the Biblical scheme, while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Gen. 8:22)
God's blessing: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (Gen. 1:28) is fully apprehended only when it is placed in the world created out of nothing. In contradistinction, the ancient cosmogonies tell about the creation of the world out of pre-existing materials, and the origin of the world is often intertwined with the origin of gods. In the Egyptian myth the goddes Neith emerges spontaneously out of the primordial ocean, like the Greek Venus. For the Mesopotamian his creator God was only the demiurge who built the world we live in out of matter and according to Natural Laws that are not of his creating. In this world there is something God did not create. In the world created out of matter the fear of living in overcrowded and poor living conditions is very real. As a way of disposing of “the human pollution of the world” atheistic science proposed “zero population growth.” The use of death became one way to control population. They postulate the exterimination of 95% of the world population, yet they reproach the God of the Bible when an earthquake or Tsunami happens.
There is no such fear in the world created by God out of nothing, because: “As the hosts of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David, my servant.” (Jer 33:22). Seeing people multiplying the Biblical author relieves them from fear with the words: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever (Ecc 1:4). When Abraham heard God's promise that his seed shall be as countless as the stars (Gen 15:5) he knew nothing about the treasures which God was preparing inside the earth for the generations to come and which made the industrial revolution possible. And hosts of the Lord are still coming preparing new treasures for Abraham's countless seed.
Men did walk and work amid the primeval forests that we dig up as coal.
Acceptance of the Biblical Astronomy means acceptance of God’s ordinances, which are not the same as the Laws of Nature, i.e. the “laws’ of a brain dead god. Consider: “I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, the myrtle and the oil tree. I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together.” – Isa 41:18-19. Don’t worry that the oil resources will dry up some day. God knows that too. If I were a heliocentrist I would be sacred to death thinking that water resources will soon be exhausted, because in the world of Copernicus water is not replenished by the Creator and Provider for the ever growing populations of living creatures.
Regarding life as an outcome of accidental chemical processes, Science does not search into the vast process of Ceaseless Creation which is being renewed time and again in the successive periods of the world history. Keeping life prosperous and growing is not an easy task. Let's descend to the bottom of this problem.
The language of the Bible does not sound like the jargon of the modern Science, non the less the thoughts of many Biblical verses match exactly conclusions of the present-day geologists.
For instance, the verse: “And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear'” (Gen. 1:9) express the same phenomenon which the modern geologists discovered when they saw that rocks formed blow the seas are now high in the mountains and that mountain chains have been raised repeatedly at different places and then worn away.
According to one hypothesis the Himalayas were formed as a result of continental collision when India broke off Gondwanaland and slammed into Asia. Floating continent? But we also can imagine the rise of India the same way as the rise of the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are the two principal volcanoes that created the island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world, for it rises some 32,000 feet above the ocean floor, making it several hundred feet taller than Mt. Everest. The island of Hawaii is the youngest and most volcanically active and lies to the southeast. The rest of the islands are in line to the northwest, with each being elder than the one to its southeast. It appears that the islands were produced assembly line fashion, with each one moving away in succession from its point of origin as though on a conveyor belt.
The peak of Mauna Kea is 13,803 feet (4,207 m) above mean sea level but 33,476 feet (10,203 m) above its base on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It is the world's tallest mountain by this measure, taller than Mount Everest, which is the highest mountain above sea level.
“Then the channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.” (2 Sam 22:16)
Where were thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding? Who determined its measurements – surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? Or what were its bases, or who laid its cornerstone? (Book of Job)
The summit plateau of Mauna Kea is entirely above timberline, with a landscape of mostly lava rock with patches of alpine tundra. Snowfall often occurs at elevations above 11,000 feet (3,400 m) during the period from November through March. During particularly cold and wet winters, which are usually linked to La Niña, a snowpack several feet (1 m) deep may remain in the summit region above 13,000 feet (4,000 m) for weeks or months. This permits skiing and other snowplay activities on the slopes of the cinder cones.
Between 5,200 and 8,000 feet (1,600 and 2,400 m) there is a band of ranch land which was formerly koa-mamane forest but has been almost entirely converted to pasture. This area has suffered from heavy infestations of gorse, an invasive species in Hawaii. Most of the north and west slopes are also pasture. The palila, an endangered finch-like honeycreeper, feeds almost exclusively on mamane seeds and lives in mamane-naio forest on the west slope. Large numbers of feral sheep inhabit the upper elevations, and have had a severe impact on the native vegetation.
The summit of Mauna Kea has been a celestial observatory since ancient times and is considered to be one of the best astronomical sites in the world. For this reason it is home to many of the world's leading astronomical observatories. The summit is above approximately 40% of Earth's atmosphere and 90% of the water vapor, allowing for exceptionally clear images of the night sky. Additionally, the peak is well above the inversion layer, which leads to approximately 300 clear nights per year. Also, at 20°N latitude, all of the northern sky and most of the southern sky is visible. The fact that it is a shield volcano has meant that road transportation to the summit is relatively easy. The low population density of the Island of Hawaii means that there is little light pollution from man-made sources. All of these factors have made Mauna Kea an ideal location for state-of-the-art astronomy.
A “Copernicus” of the Hawaiian mythology stopped the sun in its course with a rope spliced from the pubic hair of his sister.
Similarly, the Deccan Plateau formed from lava outflows. Basalt up to 7,000 feet (2100 m) thick covers 250,000 square miles (650,000 sq. km) in India's Deccan Plateau. Volcanic plugs like these of Mauna Kea or Mt. Everest are embedded in the basalt (like teeth are embedded in jaws); they are the “pillars” of the world upon which the Lord “hath set the world” (1 Sam 2:8). According to modern Science more than 80% of the earth's surface above and below sea level is of volcanic origin. And these volcanoes work untiringly, for generations to come.
Who shakes the earth from its place and its pillars tremble. (Job 38:4-6)
Upon similar “pillars” the Bolivian lake Titicaca rests. Though now more than two miles above sea level, the area around the lake is littered with millions upon millions of fossilized sea shells. This suggests that at some stage the whole of the Altiplano was forced upwards from the sea-bed, perhaps as part of the general terrestrial rising that formed South America as a whole. We observe at present similar rising of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The youngest rocks of the oceans were found in such places as the mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs like a seam through Iceland and reaches to the South Pole. Iceland is one of the most thermally active countries in the world and is blessed with an abundant geothermal energy source for generating electricity and heating buildings. Under Iceland the upwelling is so intense that the plateau rises above the sea level. On other parts of the mid ocean ridge, volcanic activity is quite prevalent and there are as many as 20 major eruptions a year. Like Iceland, the Azores, and the islands of St. Paul, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, Gough, and Bouvet are surface expressions of the Mid-Atlantic volcanic eruptions. Similarly, the other continents had been built.
Because the crust under the Pacific Ocean is more volcanically active, it has a higher density of seamounts than the Atlantic or Indian Ocean. The average density of Pacific seamounts is between five and ten volcanoes per 5,000 square miles of ocean floor, a considerably greater occurrence of volcanoes than there is on the continents. Oceania is a collective name for the groups of islands in the Pacific Ocean of volcanic or coral formation, lying between the southeastern shores of Asia and the western shores of the American continent. Coral reefs abound throughout the South Pacific, in the East Indies and the Indian Ocean to Ceylon, and around Madagascar. They also form along the tropical eastern coast of Brazil, and at Bermuda. Since these sea gardens grow, this means that the coral islands of Oceania are being enlarged. Steadily enlarged for future generations of people and other living creatures.
When soil lodges on the coral, vegetation begins to grow Among the builders of the world, coral rivals even man's ability to alter the surface of the earth. Hundreds of atols consist of reefs several thousand yards across, many of which are formed on ancient volcanic cones that have subsided below the sea, with the rate of coral grow surpassing the rate of subsistence. Fringing reeds grow in shallow water; the best example is the Great Barrier Reef off the northeastern coast of Australia. It forms an underwater embankment more than 1200 miles long, 90 miles wide and 400 feet high. Coral reef environments have among the highest rates of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and limestone deposition of any environment. Coral reefs are centers of high biological productivity and their fishes are a major source of food in tropical areas.
Studies indicate that the sea floor is spreading in the Red Sea through and that the Arabian Peninsula is slowly, drifting away from Africa. The Red Sea may thus be an Ocean in embryo. “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.”

African Desert Rift Confirmed as New Ocean in the Making
Geologists Show that Seafloor Dynamics Are at Work in Splitting African Continent
In 2005, a gigantic, 35-mile-long rift broke open the desert ground in Ethiopia. At the time, some geologists believed the rift was the beginning of a new ocean as two parts of the African continent pulled apart, but the claim was controversial.
Now, scientists from several countries have confirmed that the volcanic processes at work beneath the Ethiopian rift are nearly identical to those at the bottom of the world's oceans, and the rift is indeed likely the beginning of a new sea.
The new study, published in the latest issue of Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of little by little as has been predominantly believed. In addition, such sudden large-scale events on land pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events, says Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study.
"This work is a breakthrough in our understanding of continental rifting leading to the creation of new ocean basins," says Ken Macdonald, professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and who is not affiliated with the research. "For the first time they demonstrate that activity on one rift segment can trigger a major episode of magma injection and associated deformation on a neighboring segment. Careful study of the 2005 mega-dike intrusion and its aftermath will continue to provide extraordinary opportunities for learning about continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges."

Marine biology experts from Ben Gurion University of the Negev recently created an artificial coral reef in the Red Sea of the coast of Eilat. Along with volunteer divers, the researchers planted coral previously grown in a nursery onto metal and concrete templates sunk earlier this year.
The coastlines are changing incessantly the same way as the surface of the earth is changing. Prophet Isaiah said:
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together” (40:4)
Similarly, in the opinion of present-day geologists, if there is one thing that can be said about the earth with complete certainty, it is that it is continuously changing. The earth's surface rocks are constantly being worn away to form sediments that are redistributed over the surface. This process of erosion, transportation, and deposition has taken place since the surface was first formed. Rocks and soil are degraded, or eroded by atmospheric weathering, running water, glaciers, winds, and waves, and by changes produced by plants and animals. As streams carve their channels, they remove earth material (Grand Canyon!) that will be later deposited as sediment. The sediments may accumulate to form a variety of land features, including sandbars, deltas and river floodplains. In the course of geological history, the sediments may eventually be converted into sedimentary rocks. These sediments had covered with thick layers organic sediments i.e. billions upon billions of little plants and animals that sank or were washed into the ancient seas. In time they formed an ooze hundreds of feet deep (like those in Everglades) which was subjected to tremendous pressures at the sea bottom. That's why petroleum is found only in beds of ancient seas, many of which are now thousands of feet below dry land.
Isn't it a miracle that the face on the moon stays the same? Always, forever! Why? Here is the answer: “And God said: 'Let there be lights in the spread of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.'” These signs are for us who understand their meaning. How Great Thou Art.
Prof. Carl Becker in his book The Heavenly City of the 18th century Philosophers demonstrates that the period commonly described as The Age of Reason was, in fact, very far from that; that Newton, Voltaire, Hume, Diderot, and Locke were living in a medieval world inspired by the Arab philosophers such as: Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Averroes an others. There is no logical reason why the scientists of the 1980s should be any more infallible in their pontifical statements of scientific dogmas than their predecessors of the 1880s, or 1200s for that matter.
Renunciation of the traditional revelation was the very condition of being truly enlightened; for to be truly enlightened was to see the light in its fullness, and the light in its fullness revealed two very simple and obvious facts. One of these contained the sum of those negations which we understand so well – the fact that the supposed revelation of God’s purposes through Holy Writ was a fraud, or at best an illusion born of ignorance, perpetrated, or at least maintained, by the Jews in order to accentuate the fears of mankind, and so hold it in subjection. Like Walt and Mearsheimer proclaim in their, now world-famous, screed. Why do they care to write for “human pollution”?
Richard Dawkins, Darwin's latest bloody-fanged bulldog described the grandeur of evolutionist view of life as follows: “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference.” This universe is no more than dead matter ruled by impersonal equations
Lucifer, one of the protagonists of Taylor Caldwell's novel Dialogues with the Devil, in one of his letters describes a room in the afterlife reserved for scientists who have knowingly and willfully rejected God. It has no demons. No fires. No instruments of torture or discomfort of any kind. In fact, just the opposite. Every tool of scientific inquiry is immediately available. So is every reference book. So are unlimited data about anything which any scientist would ever hope to know. Only one thing is missing: PURPOSE. In rejecting God, they've rejected the Creator who gives context and meaning to all knowledge.
And keep in mind that, where Newton still said, from blind necessity no change could and thus no variety of the things develop, since this is possible from the divine ideas and the divine will alone, became with Darwin the opposite: The whole diversity of species has its origin in coincidence mutations and their chances of survival. After the thorough research of Stanley Jaki remains hardly a doubt that Darwin with his theory wanted to help the materialism scientifically to victory. Karl Marx and F. Engels welcomed, not coincidentally, Darwin's theory enthusiastically as scientific basis for their own theory. (From Card. Schoenberg's lecture in Castel Gandolfo, 1-3 September 2006)
The hypothesis of evolution belongs to philosophical category called Dialectical Materialism which proclaims that matter is self-moving (pantarei) and self-organizing (by mutations caused by internal contradictions, because contradiction is an essential feature of all being). In Lucretius' De Rerum natura mutations were caused by swerving of atoms i.e. by motion (self-motion). In colloquial language, while you might think that it is your push that moves a pin ball, actually, the ball moves itself. And that explains K. Marx's enthusiasm for Darwin's book. “Self-movement of everything existing; it alone furnishes the key to the 'leaps' (mutations), to the 'break in continuity' (punctuated equilibrium), to the transformation in the opposite, to the destruction of the old (unfit) and the emergence of the new (fit).” (Lenin, 1961). John Paul II was a hidden Marxist. Everyone remembers the demise of Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani who, in a post-conciliar article, addressed a number of ecclesiastics as "little Communists of the sacristy." While Christ and his faithful suffered in lunatic asylums, prisons, and labor camps in the East, atheism was alive and well in the Vatican. If men of the Church, such as Montini and Casaroli, hadn't fueled their love affair with the countries behind the Iron Curtain, how much earlier would the Berlin Wall have fallen?
Consider the following passage from Pope Pius XI's Encyclical Divini Redemptoris:
The doctrine of modern Communism, which is often concealed under the most seductive trappings, is in substance based on the principles of dialectical and historical materialism previously advocated by Marx, of which the theoricians of bolshevism claim to possess the only genuine interpretation. According to this doctrine there is in the world only one reality, matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and man. Even human society is nothing but a phenomenon and form of matter, evolving in the same way. By a law of inexorable necessity and through a perpetual conflict of forces (i.e. dialectical contradictions), matter moves towards the final synthesis of a classless society. In such a doctrine, as is evident, there is no room for the idea of God; there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the soul after death nor any hope in a future life. Insisting on the dialectical aspect of their materialism, the Communists claim that the conflict which carries the world towards its final synthesis can be accelerated by man.
The “Manna” for Mauna Kea's Wekiu Bug
According to God’s ordinance and not according to a Law of Nature, or a chance “there went a wind and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as there it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all abroad for themselves, round about the camp” (Nb 11:32) And this ordinance came when Moses wondered “whence I should have flesh to give all this people, to eat not one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, but even a whole month.” There is no need of euthanasia in the Biblical world.
No struggle for survival was observed on Mauna Kea's slopes; God delivers all food they need; the wēkiu bug,feeds on insects blown to the summit by updrafts.
'Wekiu'" is the Hawaiian word for top or summit. This name was given to Mauna Kea's tallest cinder cone, which reaches 13,796 feet in elevation and is the highest in the Hawaiian archipelago. Life on the Mauna Kea summit must endure freezing temperatures, winter snow falls, and, occasionally, hurricane-force winds. The centers of the summit cones on Mauna Kea are permanently frozen to just a few feet below the surface. Only lichens and some mosses grow scattered on the tops of rocks. Until recently these cold stone fields were thought to be devoid of resident animal life. An unusual new bug was first discovered in 1980 by biologists searching for insects under stones on Pu`u Wekiu. Although known to scientists as Nysius wekiuicola this "seed bug" in the family Lygaeidae was given the common name "wekiu bug" to highlight the unusual location where these insects live. As their familiar name implies, most seed bugs feed on seeds by piercing their straw-like mouth parts into the inner seed tissue and sucking it out. However, since no native seed-bearing plants live in the summit area of Mauna Kea, it was clear to biologists that these insects must be tapping into a different food source than their close relatives. Entomologists studied the ecology of the wekiu bug to find out how it could survive in such an extreme and hostile environment. Unlike their seed-feeding relatives, the wekiu bugs consume other dead and dying insects that get carried upslope by winds and deposited at the summit. The bugs search under rocks and across ash flows for fresh, wind-blown carcasses. They then use their piercing mouth-parts to puncture the exoskeleton of their prey and suck out the juices inside. Wekiu bugs are nearly one quarter of an inch long with long, thin legs. Young bugs are dark brown with red abdomens, while the adult bugs are a more uniform dark brown to black color. Like all other true bugs, the young have only small developing wing pads. The adults, however, never develop full wings. Having extremely reduced wings may be an advantage to an insect that sneaks its way through rocks and ash. Besides, flying at the summit of Mauna Kea can send a bug on a long trip. The bugs share their summit home with other arthropods, including spiders and caterpillars. Each has found its own way of dealing with the extreme cold found at this elevation. Wolf spiders hunker down under rocks that have been absorbing the sun's heat during the day. Moth caterpillars, like many other types of insects, have a sort of antifreeze in their bodies that prevents ice crystals from forming in their cells. The wekiu bug also can endure subfreezing temperatures with a natural antifreeze in its blood but also has a dark body to absorb warmth from the sun and simultaneously protect it from ultraviolet radiation (there are no Darwinian racists among the bugs). Until recently the wekiu bug was known only from the three cones at the summit of Mauna Kea. Construction of observatories at the summit of Mauna Kea raised concerns that the wekiu bug may be in jeopardy of losing its only known habitat. So the search began to find more bugs on Mauna Kea and the slopes of Mauna Loa. Individuals have now been observed on cinder cones nearly three miles from the Mauna Kea summit, while a previously unknown species was discovered on Mauna Loa. The Mauna Loa bug, Nysius aa, was first captured in 1985 but not described as a different species until 1998. The life style of this bug appears to be very similar to that of its sister species, the wekiu bug, but subtle differences in its appearance make it clear that this is not the same species. Similar species have not been observed from Hualalai or Haleakala, but maybe they just haven't been found yet." The genus Nysius in the insect family Lygaeidae, contains approximately 106 species throughout the world.
Like other seed bugs, there are some species in the genus that have proven to be crop pests of wheat and other grains (including N. huttoni), as well as many vegetables. There appears to be a unique Hawaiian radiation of the genus containing almost a quarter of the world's species (26), as well as the most diverse character set seen in the genus. In addition, two closely related species found on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawai'i, are different from the rest of Nysius by exhibiting reduced nonfunctional wings, and feed on dead and dying insects (N. wekiuicola, N. aa.
The “Bomb” at the Toronto Film Festival
Darwin's apocryphal deadbed repudiation of evolution is, it is believed, a popular and widely circulated myth comforting the faithful. The portrait showing Copernicus praying to the Crucified Christian Savior is known but to a few researchers surfing little known websites... This Hidden Portrait is as unwelcome to the Roman Church as the Hidden Encyclical was which could have prevented the Holocaust.
But the latest British drama "Creation" presented at the Toronto International Film Festival, in September 2009, offers audiences a humanistic look at Darwin as he wrestles with his own beliefs about God and his devotion to science, while also grieving over the loss of a family member that cannot be explained by his theories of nature.
Let me quote the usual explanation of his repudiation of belief in God as presented in the latest book on Darwin entitled Saving Darwin How to be a Christian and believe in Evolution. Harper One. 2006 by Karl W. Giberson: “Darwin's belief in God weathered the theological storms brought on by the Ichneumonidae, the sadistic cats, and the webbed feet of the upland geese. Christianity is about the extraordinary claim that God loves those creatures and cares deeply about their welfare. This, alas, is undeniably difficult to square with the death of a child.” So which is which? Was his belief in God irreconcilable with the loss of his child or was the loss of his child irreconcilable with his theories of nature? The drama presented at Torono suggest that Darwin's deadbed conversion is no myth. But such a fact voids the theory of evolution of any vestige of credibility.
According to Enc. Britannica (`15th, 2002): There was no place in Darwin's world for divine intervention, nor was mankind place in position of superiority vis-a-vis the rest of the animal world. Darwin saw man as part of a continuum with the rest of nature, not separated by divine injunction... In his The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871) he expanded the scope of evolution to include moral and spiritual as well as physical traits and underscored man's psychological as physiological similarities to the great apes.
Well, if you take into account the gigantic works performed by God for the future generations of His creatures your perception of the deaths caused by the so-called natural disasters like the recent earhquakes in Hawai and Chile will be changed for ever. These death are the result not of “criminal negligence” of careless God but unavoidable victims for the sake of the future world being processsed right before our eyes. Where were thou when God raised the Altiplano where millions now live and prosper?
The Vatican and the Masons
ADNAN OKTAR'S (Harun Yahya) LIVE INTERVIEW ON BASKENT TV (6 March 2009)
REPORTER: ... how do you interpret that the Vatican claims to be on the side of evolution as well as on the opposite side? ...
ADNAN OKTAR: I am now declaring that the Vatican has now been taken over by freemasons. I mean, we proved that. I mean there is direct control, freemason control. This Catholicism is not to be believed, I mean you believe in demons, you believe in angels, you believe that Jesus will come down to earth, but you believe these things have happened through evolution, does a demon occur through evolution? Does an angel come to being through evolution? Does Jesus happen through evolution? I mean, where has these people’s common sense gone, it is as if they don’t know what they are saying, we can see here a magnificent Freemason conspiracy at work, I mean I would never have hoped for it, I would not have hoped for it to this degree, like I would get information but I can see now clearly that there is a direct Freemason domination in the Vatican. ...
At the Tea Party movement in Nashville, Tennessee it was Sarah Pailin, “seeing Russia from her window” who gave the keynote ddress. In the opinion of the Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick expressed in her Column One of 12/2/2010 Sara Pailin is “ the strongest single American voice opposing Obama’s foreign policy, supporting Israel and denying Iran nuclear weapons.” Indeed, at her invitation, WND founder Joseph Farah joined her as speaker at the same convention.
*Joseph Farah, Arab-American journalist reminds repeatedly: There is no language known as Palestinian. Nobody ever saw a Palestinian-English dictionary. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There was never a festival of Palestinian culture in any country of the world. Only mad monks like those who translated KJV could have imagined that it was Palestinians who actually wrote the Bible under Goliath’s inspiration. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass...Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough...
In 2009, WND published book titledYou Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, but you cannot make him think by top Christian author Ray Comfort, which rocketed up the Amazon.com rankings on its first day of relese, moving from No. 69,572 to No. 38 in 24 hours. R. Comfort revealed in his book that the Vatican is encouraging atheism, in the name of diversity, exactly, like the U.S. Colleges and universities that “are turning out atheists like there is no tomorrow.” “It seems strange that the Vatican can stand without wavering on the subject of abortion and cave in on the subject of evolution.” R. Comfort opined in his book that “Darwin's theory is a fantasy – a ridiculous and unscientific fairy tale for grownups.”
Sarah Pailin seems to follow in the footsteps of her party colleagues, like Senators Delay and Sam Brownback who in the blog accompanying his presidential campaign unmasked heliocentrism as an atheist doctrine and which published my essays about Scientific Imposisbility of heliocentrism.
Science Minister Weighs in On Evolution Debate
Adar 18, 5770, 04 March 10 11:04, by Gil Ronen
(Israelnationalnews.com) Minister of Science and Technology Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz (Jewish Home) defended the Chief Scientist of the Education Ministry, Dr. Gabi Avital, in a weekend interview. Avital has come under fire for saying schoolchildren should be exposed to opinions that criticize Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and should be aware of the opposition to current theories regarding global warming.
Minister Hershkowitz defended Dr. Avital and said that there was indeed criticism of certain aspects of the theory of evolution and that there was no reason to fire the Chief Scientist.
Prof. Hershkowitz said that as a rabbi and scientist, he saw no contradiction between religious faith and acceptance of the basic tenets of Darwinian evolution. He quoted from the teachings of Rabbi Gedalya Nadel of Sforno, who lived three centuries before Darwin and who contended that the creation of Man in G-d's image was the final stage of a long process that began with an unintelligent creature “from the category of animals,” that developed over time into mankind.
Darwin's proofs appear convincing, Min. Hershkowitz said, but his theory “still contains sizable parts that constitute speculation that could theoretically eventually turn out to be wrong. Therefore there is no need to treat it as an absolute truth that cannot be doubted.”
One of the problems with the theory of evolution is that no one has seen mutations occur and change a living species in the period of recorded history. If mutations, which in Darwinian theory explain the evolution of different species, were the basis of that evolution in primeval times, they should be continuing to occur.
Dr. Avital had been quoted as saying: “If the educational texts write explicitly that Man is descended from apes – I will want students exposed to other opinions and to deal with them. There are many people who think the Theory of Evolution is wrong.” - Well, Rabbi Gedalya Nadel of Sforno was a Jewish Thomas Aquinas who also embraced evolutionism of the Hindu “soaring speculator” Manu: "Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (Book I, sloka 20).
Russian president abolishes federal agencies for science and education
06/03/201018:03 RIA novosti
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree abolishing the federal agencies for science and education and giving their functions to the Ministry of Education and Science, the Kremlin press service said on Saturday.
It was the Ministry of Education and Science which introduced to public schools in Russia the ant-Drawinist book, In the Minds of Men. Darwin and the New World Order, by Ian T. Tylor. Incidentally, the book was published in 1984 when John Paul II started promoting the idea of an “independent” Palestinian state.
God's “Pillars” of The Earth
Andrew Dickson White in his History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom wrote: “Still, at various times and places, germs implanted by Greek and Roman thought were warmed into life. The Arabian schools seem to have been less fettered by the letter of the Koran than the contemporary Christian scholars by the letter of the Bible; and to Avicenna belongs the credit of first announcing substantially the modern geological theory of changes in the earth's surface.” Mr. White got it totally wrong.
According to his false theory Avicenna accounted for the fossils by suggesting a “stone-making force.” His belief was inspired by the myth of the birth of the Persian god Mithra who was forced out of a rock (petra genetrix, or, Hesiod's materia matrix) as if by some hidden magic power. His birth inspired Darwin with the idea that evolution is controlled by a “force” that acts on plants and animals slowly, over the course of many generations, to produce changes in their forms.
Long before Avicenna, following the Mihraic birth myth, St. Augustine, a former Manichee interpreted Genesis to mean that God created animals and plants only virtually, in the sense that the earth was given the power to bring forth living things in time. In such an exegesis the earth regained its mythological divine power. The New Age belief that the earth is, actually, ancient goddess Gaia is the modern variant of the ancient myth. In Darwin's Myth it was Thales's water (“Little, Warm Pond”) which brought forth living things.
Darwin's goddess Mutability vs. the God who creates and maintains life on Earth
In the Darwinian scheme nature, so far as we can discern, without passion and without intention, forms, transforms, and retransforms forever. She neither weeps nor rejoices. She produces man without purpose, and obliterates him without regret. She knows no distinction between the beneficial and the hurtful.
In the Biblical scheme, while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Gen. 8:22)
God's blessing: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth (Gen. 1:28) is fully apprehended only when it is placed in the world created out of nothing. In contradistinction, the ancient cosmogonies tell about the creation of the world out of pre-existing materials, and the origin of the world is often intertwined with the origin of gods. In the Egyptian myth the goddes Neith emerges spontaneously out of the primordial ocean, like the Greek Venus. For the Mesopotamian his creator God was only the demiurge who built the world we live in out of matter and according to Natural Laws that are not of his creating. In this world there is something God did not create. In the world created out of matter the fear of living in overcrowded and poor living conditions is very real. As a way of disposing of “the human pollution of the world” atheistic science proposed “zero population growth.” The use of death became one way to control population. They postulate the exterimination of 95% of the world population, yet they reproach the God of the Bible when an earthquake or Tsunami happens.
There is no such fear in the world created by God out of nothing, because: “As the hosts of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David, my servant.” (Jer 33:22). Seeing people multiplying the Biblical author relieves them from fear with the words: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever (Ecc 1:4). When Abraham heard God's promise that his seed shall be as countless as the stars (Gen 15:5) he knew nothing about the treasures which God was preparing inside the earth for the generations to come and which made the industrial revolution possible. And hosts of the Lord are still coming preparing new treasures for Abraham's countless seed.
Men did walk and work amid the primeval forests that we dig up as coal.
Acceptance of the Biblical Astronomy means acceptance of God’s ordinances, which are not the same as the Laws of Nature, i.e. the “laws’ of a brain dead god. Consider: “I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, the myrtle and the oil tree. I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together.” – Isa 41:18-19. Don’t worry that the oil resources will dry up some day. God knows that too. If I were a heliocentrist I would be sacred to death thinking that water resources will soon be exhausted, because in the world of Copernicus water is not replenished by the Creator and Provider for the ever growing populations of living creatures.
Regarding life as an outcome of accidental chemical processes, Science does not search into the vast process of Ceaseless Creation which is being renewed time and again in the successive periods of the world history. Keeping life prosperous and growing is not an easy task. Let's descend to the bottom of this problem.
The language of the Bible does not sound like the jargon of the modern Science, non the less the thoughts of many Biblical verses match exactly conclusions of the present-day geologists.
For instance, the verse: “And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear'” (Gen. 1:9) express the same phenomenon which the modern geologists discovered when they saw that rocks formed blow the seas are now high in the mountains and that mountain chains have been raised repeatedly at different places and then worn away.
According to one hypothesis the Himalayas were formed as a result of continental collision when India broke off Gondwanaland and slammed into Asia. Floating continent? But we also can imagine the rise of India the same way as the rise of the Hawaiian Islands. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are the two principal volcanoes that created the island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world, for it rises some 32,000 feet above the ocean floor, making it several hundred feet taller than Mt. Everest. The island of Hawaii is the youngest and most volcanically active and lies to the southeast. The rest of the islands are in line to the northwest, with each being elder than the one to its southeast. It appears that the islands were produced assembly line fashion, with each one moving away in succession from its point of origin as though on a conveyor belt.
The peak of Mauna Kea is 13,803 feet (4,207 m) above mean sea level but 33,476 feet (10,203 m) above its base on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It is the world's tallest mountain by this measure, taller than Mount Everest, which is the highest mountain above sea level.
“Then the channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.” (2 Sam 22:16)
Where were thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding? Who determined its measurements – surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? Or what were its bases, or who laid its cornerstone? (Book of Job)
The summit plateau of Mauna Kea is entirely above timberline, with a landscape of mostly lava rock with patches of alpine tundra. Snowfall often occurs at elevations above 11,000 feet (3,400 m) during the period from November through March. During particularly cold and wet winters, which are usually linked to La Niña, a snowpack several feet (1 m) deep may remain in the summit region above 13,000 feet (4,000 m) for weeks or months. This permits skiing and other snowplay activities on the slopes of the cinder cones.
Between 5,200 and 8,000 feet (1,600 and 2,400 m) there is a band of ranch land which was formerly koa-mamane forest but has been almost entirely converted to pasture. This area has suffered from heavy infestations of gorse, an invasive species in Hawaii. Most of the north and west slopes are also pasture. The palila, an endangered finch-like honeycreeper, feeds almost exclusively on mamane seeds and lives in mamane-naio forest on the west slope. Large numbers of feral sheep inhabit the upper elevations, and have had a severe impact on the native vegetation.
The summit of Mauna Kea has been a celestial observatory since ancient times and is considered to be one of the best astronomical sites in the world. For this reason it is home to many of the world's leading astronomical observatories. The summit is above approximately 40% of Earth's atmosphere and 90% of the water vapor, allowing for exceptionally clear images of the night sky. Additionally, the peak is well above the inversion layer, which leads to approximately 300 clear nights per year. Also, at 20°N latitude, all of the northern sky and most of the southern sky is visible. The fact that it is a shield volcano has meant that road transportation to the summit is relatively easy. The low population density of the Island of Hawaii means that there is little light pollution from man-made sources. All of these factors have made Mauna Kea an ideal location for state-of-the-art astronomy.
A “Copernicus” of the Hawaiian mythology stopped the sun in its course with a rope spliced from the pubic hair of his sister.
Similarly, the Deccan Plateau formed from lava outflows. Basalt up to 7,000 feet (2100 m) thick covers 250,000 square miles (650,000 sq. km) in India's Deccan Plateau. Volcanic plugs like these of Mauna Kea or Mt. Everest are embedded in the basalt (like teeth are embedded in jaws); they are the “pillars” of the world upon which the Lord “hath set the world” (1 Sam 2:8). According to modern Science more than 80% of the earth's surface above and below sea level is of volcanic origin. And these volcanoes work untiringly, for generations to come.
Who shakes the earth from its place and its pillars tremble. (Job 38:4-6)
Upon similar “pillars” the Bolivian lake Titicaca rests. Though now more than two miles above sea level, the area around the lake is littered with millions upon millions of fossilized sea shells. This suggests that at some stage the whole of the Altiplano was forced upwards from the sea-bed, perhaps as part of the general terrestrial rising that formed South America as a whole. We observe at present similar rising of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The youngest rocks of the oceans were found in such places as the mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs like a seam through Iceland and reaches to the South Pole. Iceland is one of the most thermally active countries in the world and is blessed with an abundant geothermal energy source for generating electricity and heating buildings. Under Iceland the upwelling is so intense that the plateau rises above the sea level. On other parts of the mid ocean ridge, volcanic activity is quite prevalent and there are as many as 20 major eruptions a year. Like Iceland, the Azores, and the islands of St. Paul, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, Gough, and Bouvet are surface expressions of the Mid-Atlantic volcanic eruptions. Similarly, the other continents had been built.
Because the crust under the Pacific Ocean is more volcanically active, it has a higher density of seamounts than the Atlantic or Indian Ocean. The average density of Pacific seamounts is between five and ten volcanoes per 5,000 square miles of ocean floor, a considerably greater occurrence of volcanoes than there is on the continents. Oceania is a collective name for the groups of islands in the Pacific Ocean of volcanic or coral formation, lying between the southeastern shores of Asia and the western shores of the American continent. Coral reefs abound throughout the South Pacific, in the East Indies and the Indian Ocean to Ceylon, and around Madagascar. They also form along the tropical eastern coast of Brazil, and at Bermuda. Since these sea gardens grow, this means that the coral islands of Oceania are being enlarged. Steadily enlarged for future generations of people and other living creatures.
When soil lodges on the coral, vegetation begins to grow Among the builders of the world, coral rivals even man's ability to alter the surface of the earth. Hundreds of atols consist of reefs several thousand yards across, many of which are formed on ancient volcanic cones that have subsided below the sea, with the rate of coral grow surpassing the rate of subsistence. Fringing reeds grow in shallow water; the best example is the Great Barrier Reef off the northeastern coast of Australia. It forms an underwater embankment more than 1200 miles long, 90 miles wide and 400 feet high. Coral reef environments have among the highest rates of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and limestone deposition of any environment. Coral reefs are centers of high biological productivity and their fishes are a major source of food in tropical areas.
Studies indicate that the sea floor is spreading in the Red Sea through and that the Arabian Peninsula is slowly, drifting away from Africa. The Red Sea may thus be an Ocean in embryo. “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.”

In 2005, a gigantic, 35-mile-long rift broke open the desert ground in Ethiopia. At the time, some geologists believed the rift was the beginning of a new ocean as two parts of the African continent pulled apart, but the claim was controversial.
Now, scientists from several countries have confirmed that the volcanic processes at work beneath the Ethiopian rift are nearly identical to those at the bottom of the world's oceans, and the rift is indeed likely the beginning of a new sea.
The new study, published in the latest issue of Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the highly active volcanic boundaries along the edges of tectonic ocean plates may suddenly break apart in large sections, instead of little by little as has been predominantly believed. In addition, such sudden large-scale events on land pose a much more serious hazard to populations living near the rift than would several smaller events, says Cindy Ebinger, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester and co-author of the study.
"This work is a breakthrough in our understanding of continental rifting leading to the creation of new ocean basins," says Ken Macdonald, professor emeritus in the Department of Earth Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and who is not affiliated with the research. "For the first time they demonstrate that activity on one rift segment can trigger a major episode of magma injection and associated deformation on a neighboring segment. Careful study of the 2005 mega-dike intrusion and its aftermath will continue to provide extraordinary opportunities for learning about continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges."
Reef Renewal
Marine biology experts from Ben Gurion University of the Negev recently created an artificial coral reef in the Red Sea of the coast of Eilat. Along with volunteer divers, the researchers planted coral previously grown in a nursery onto metal and concrete templates sunk earlier this year.
The coastlines are changing incessantly the same way as the surface of the earth is changing. Prophet Isaiah said:
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together” (40:4)
Similarly, in the opinion of present-day geologists, if there is one thing that can be said about the earth with complete certainty, it is that it is continuously changing. The earth's surface rocks are constantly being worn away to form sediments that are redistributed over the surface. This process of erosion, transportation, and deposition has taken place since the surface was first formed. Rocks and soil are degraded, or eroded by atmospheric weathering, running water, glaciers, winds, and waves, and by changes produced by plants and animals. As streams carve their channels, they remove earth material (Grand Canyon!) that will be later deposited as sediment. The sediments may accumulate to form a variety of land features, including sandbars, deltas and river floodplains. In the course of geological history, the sediments may eventually be converted into sedimentary rocks. These sediments had covered with thick layers organic sediments i.e. billions upon billions of little plants and animals that sank or were washed into the ancient seas. In time they formed an ooze hundreds of feet deep (like those in Everglades) which was subjected to tremendous pressures at the sea bottom. That's why petroleum is found only in beds of ancient seas, many of which are now thousands of feet below dry land.
Isn't it a miracle that the face on the moon stays the same? Always, forever! Why? Here is the answer: “And God said: 'Let there be lights in the spread of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.'” These signs are for us who understand their meaning. How Great Thou Art.
Prof. Carl Becker in his book The Heavenly City of the 18th century Philosophers demonstrates that the period commonly described as The Age of Reason was, in fact, very far from that; that Newton, Voltaire, Hume, Diderot, and Locke were living in a medieval world inspired by the Arab philosophers such as: Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Averroes an others. There is no logical reason why the scientists of the 1980s should be any more infallible in their pontifical statements of scientific dogmas than their predecessors of the 1880s, or 1200s for that matter.
Renunciation of the traditional revelation was the very condition of being truly enlightened; for to be truly enlightened was to see the light in its fullness, and the light in its fullness revealed two very simple and obvious facts. One of these contained the sum of those negations which we understand so well – the fact that the supposed revelation of God’s purposes through Holy Writ was a fraud, or at best an illusion born of ignorance, perpetrated, or at least maintained, by the Jews in order to accentuate the fears of mankind, and so hold it in subjection. Like Walt and Mearsheimer proclaim in their, now world-famous, screed. Why do they care to write for “human pollution”?
Richard Dawkins, Darwin's latest bloody-fanged bulldog described the grandeur of evolutionist view of life as follows: “The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at bottom no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference.” This universe is no more than dead matter ruled by impersonal equations
Lucifer, one of the protagonists of Taylor Caldwell's novel Dialogues with the Devil, in one of his letters describes a room in the afterlife reserved for scientists who have knowingly and willfully rejected God. It has no demons. No fires. No instruments of torture or discomfort of any kind. In fact, just the opposite. Every tool of scientific inquiry is immediately available. So is every reference book. So are unlimited data about anything which any scientist would ever hope to know. Only one thing is missing: PURPOSE. In rejecting God, they've rejected the Creator who gives context and meaning to all knowledge.
And keep in mind that, where Newton still said, from blind necessity no change could and thus no variety of the things develop, since this is possible from the divine ideas and the divine will alone, became with Darwin the opposite: The whole diversity of species has its origin in coincidence mutations and their chances of survival. After the thorough research of Stanley Jaki remains hardly a doubt that Darwin with his theory wanted to help the materialism scientifically to victory. Karl Marx and F. Engels welcomed, not coincidentally, Darwin's theory enthusiastically as scientific basis for their own theory. (From Card. Schoenberg's lecture in Castel Gandolfo, 1-3 September 2006)
The hypothesis of evolution belongs to philosophical category called Dialectical Materialism which proclaims that matter is self-moving (pantarei) and self-organizing (by mutations caused by internal contradictions, because contradiction is an essential feature of all being). In Lucretius' De Rerum natura mutations were caused by swerving of atoms i.e. by motion (self-motion). In colloquial language, while you might think that it is your push that moves a pin ball, actually, the ball moves itself. And that explains K. Marx's enthusiasm for Darwin's book. “Self-movement of everything existing; it alone furnishes the key to the 'leaps' (mutations), to the 'break in continuity' (punctuated equilibrium), to the transformation in the opposite, to the destruction of the old (unfit) and the emergence of the new (fit).” (Lenin, 1961). John Paul II was a hidden Marxist. Everyone remembers the demise of Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani who, in a post-conciliar article, addressed a number of ecclesiastics as "little Communists of the sacristy." While Christ and his faithful suffered in lunatic asylums, prisons, and labor camps in the East, atheism was alive and well in the Vatican. If men of the Church, such as Montini and Casaroli, hadn't fueled their love affair with the countries behind the Iron Curtain, how much earlier would the Berlin Wall have fallen?
Consider the following passage from Pope Pius XI's Encyclical Divini Redemptoris:
The doctrine of modern Communism, which is often concealed under the most seductive trappings, is in substance based on the principles of dialectical and historical materialism previously advocated by Marx, of which the theoricians of bolshevism claim to possess the only genuine interpretation. According to this doctrine there is in the world only one reality, matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and man. Even human society is nothing but a phenomenon and form of matter, evolving in the same way. By a law of inexorable necessity and through a perpetual conflict of forces (i.e. dialectical contradictions), matter moves towards the final synthesis of a classless society. In such a doctrine, as is evident, there is no room for the idea of God; there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the soul after death nor any hope in a future life. Insisting on the dialectical aspect of their materialism, the Communists claim that the conflict which carries the world towards its final synthesis can be accelerated by man.
The “Manna” for Mauna Kea's Wekiu Bug
According to God’s ordinance and not according to a Law of Nature, or a chance “there went a wind and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as there it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all abroad for themselves, round about the camp” (Nb 11:32) And this ordinance came when Moses wondered “whence I should have flesh to give all this people, to eat not one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, but even a whole month.” There is no need of euthanasia in the Biblical world.
No struggle for survival was observed on Mauna Kea's slopes; God delivers all food they need; the wēkiu bug,feeds on insects blown to the summit by updrafts.
'Wekiu'" is the Hawaiian word for top or summit. This name was given to Mauna Kea's tallest cinder cone, which reaches 13,796 feet in elevation and is the highest in the Hawaiian archipelago. Life on the Mauna Kea summit must endure freezing temperatures, winter snow falls, and, occasionally, hurricane-force winds. The centers of the summit cones on Mauna Kea are permanently frozen to just a few feet below the surface. Only lichens and some mosses grow scattered on the tops of rocks. Until recently these cold stone fields were thought to be devoid of resident animal life. An unusual new bug was first discovered in 1980 by biologists searching for insects under stones on Pu`u Wekiu. Although known to scientists as Nysius wekiuicola this "seed bug" in the family Lygaeidae was given the common name "wekiu bug" to highlight the unusual location where these insects live. As their familiar name implies, most seed bugs feed on seeds by piercing their straw-like mouth parts into the inner seed tissue and sucking it out. However, since no native seed-bearing plants live in the summit area of Mauna Kea, it was clear to biologists that these insects must be tapping into a different food source than their close relatives. Entomologists studied the ecology of the wekiu bug to find out how it could survive in such an extreme and hostile environment. Unlike their seed-feeding relatives, the wekiu bugs consume other dead and dying insects that get carried upslope by winds and deposited at the summit. The bugs search under rocks and across ash flows for fresh, wind-blown carcasses. They then use their piercing mouth-parts to puncture the exoskeleton of their prey and suck out the juices inside. Wekiu bugs are nearly one quarter of an inch long with long, thin legs. Young bugs are dark brown with red abdomens, while the adult bugs are a more uniform dark brown to black color. Like all other true bugs, the young have only small developing wing pads. The adults, however, never develop full wings. Having extremely reduced wings may be an advantage to an insect that sneaks its way through rocks and ash. Besides, flying at the summit of Mauna Kea can send a bug on a long trip. The bugs share their summit home with other arthropods, including spiders and caterpillars. Each has found its own way of dealing with the extreme cold found at this elevation. Wolf spiders hunker down under rocks that have been absorbing the sun's heat during the day. Moth caterpillars, like many other types of insects, have a sort of antifreeze in their bodies that prevents ice crystals from forming in their cells. The wekiu bug also can endure subfreezing temperatures with a natural antifreeze in its blood but also has a dark body to absorb warmth from the sun and simultaneously protect it from ultraviolet radiation (there are no Darwinian racists among the bugs). Until recently the wekiu bug was known only from the three cones at the summit of Mauna Kea. Construction of observatories at the summit of Mauna Kea raised concerns that the wekiu bug may be in jeopardy of losing its only known habitat. So the search began to find more bugs on Mauna Kea and the slopes of Mauna Loa. Individuals have now been observed on cinder cones nearly three miles from the Mauna Kea summit, while a previously unknown species was discovered on Mauna Loa. The Mauna Loa bug, Nysius aa, was first captured in 1985 but not described as a different species until 1998. The life style of this bug appears to be very similar to that of its sister species, the wekiu bug, but subtle differences in its appearance make it clear that this is not the same species. Similar species have not been observed from Hualalai or Haleakala, but maybe they just haven't been found yet." The genus Nysius in the insect family Lygaeidae, contains approximately 106 species throughout the world.
Like other seed bugs, there are some species in the genus that have proven to be crop pests of wheat and other grains (including N. huttoni), as well as many vegetables. There appears to be a unique Hawaiian radiation of the genus containing almost a quarter of the world's species (26), as well as the most diverse character set seen in the genus. In addition, two closely related species found on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawai'i, are different from the rest of Nysius by exhibiting reduced nonfunctional wings, and feed on dead and dying insects (N. wekiuicola, N. aa.
The “Bomb” at the Toronto Film Festival
Darwin's apocryphal deadbed repudiation of evolution is, it is believed, a popular and widely circulated myth comforting the faithful. The portrait showing Copernicus praying to the Crucified Christian Savior is known but to a few researchers surfing little known websites... This Hidden Portrait is as unwelcome to the Roman Church as the Hidden Encyclical was which could have prevented the Holocaust.
But the latest British drama "Creation" presented at the Toronto International Film Festival, in September 2009, offers audiences a humanistic look at Darwin as he wrestles with his own beliefs about God and his devotion to science, while also grieving over the loss of a family member that cannot be explained by his theories of nature.
Let me quote the usual explanation of his repudiation of belief in God as presented in the latest book on Darwin entitled Saving Darwin How to be a Christian and believe in Evolution. Harper One. 2006 by Karl W. Giberson: “Darwin's belief in God weathered the theological storms brought on by the Ichneumonidae, the sadistic cats, and the webbed feet of the upland geese. Christianity is about the extraordinary claim that God loves those creatures and cares deeply about their welfare. This, alas, is undeniably difficult to square with the death of a child.” So which is which? Was his belief in God irreconcilable with the loss of his child or was the loss of his child irreconcilable with his theories of nature? The drama presented at Torono suggest that Darwin's deadbed conversion is no myth. But such a fact voids the theory of evolution of any vestige of credibility.
According to Enc. Britannica (`15th, 2002): There was no place in Darwin's world for divine intervention, nor was mankind place in position of superiority vis-a-vis the rest of the animal world. Darwin saw man as part of a continuum with the rest of nature, not separated by divine injunction... In his The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871) he expanded the scope of evolution to include moral and spiritual as well as physical traits and underscored man's psychological as physiological similarities to the great apes.
Well, if you take into account the gigantic works performed by God for the future generations of His creatures your perception of the deaths caused by the so-called natural disasters like the recent earhquakes in Hawai and Chile will be changed for ever. These death are the result not of “criminal negligence” of careless God but unavoidable victims for the sake of the future world being processsed right before our eyes. Where were thou when God raised the Altiplano where millions now live and prosper?
The Vatican and the Masons
ADNAN OKTAR'S (Harun Yahya) LIVE INTERVIEW ON BASKENT TV (6 March 2009)
REPORTER: ... how do you interpret that the Vatican claims to be on the side of evolution as well as on the opposite side? ...
ADNAN OKTAR: I am now declaring that the Vatican has now been taken over by freemasons. I mean, we proved that. I mean there is direct control, freemason control. This Catholicism is not to be believed, I mean you believe in demons, you believe in angels, you believe that Jesus will come down to earth, but you believe these things have happened through evolution, does a demon occur through evolution? Does an angel come to being through evolution? Does Jesus happen through evolution? I mean, where has these people’s common sense gone, it is as if they don’t know what they are saying, we can see here a magnificent Freemason conspiracy at work, I mean I would never have hoped for it, I would not have hoped for it to this degree, like I would get information but I can see now clearly that there is a direct Freemason domination in the Vatican. ...

Ghosts in the World under Science
In the 19th century England, like in the Renaissance Italy interest in the occult, magic and astrology flourished as a substitute for religious faith. "Reason died sometime before 1865…" wrote the historian. "…after the Age of Reason came the Age of the Irrational." Bereft of assurances of immortality after so great an attack on biblical revelation were masses of hopeless people "begging for a revelation which was scientifically demonstrable." Ensuing was a widespread flight from reason and a revival of the occult (Barbra Aho, The 19th-Century Occult Revival)
Similar occult revival in the post-communist Russia, Britain and the USA was inspired by the theosophical teaching of the Russian 'witch' (so defined by New Catholic Encyclopedia) Helena P. Blavatsky who in 1875 established in New York the Lodge of the United Theosophists. And thus H. Blavatsky's Esoteric Buddhism became religious bond linking Russia, United States and Great Britain. The series about Harry Potter belong here. Harry Potter is the latest incarnation of King Arthur's Magician Merlin.
The religious activities of a certain Dorijev, the Buddhist Missionary in Russia were awarded with the construction of Buddhist temple in St. Petersburg. Interestingly, Dorijev along with many famous Russian orientalists, was convinced that Communism and Buddhism were compatible. He publicly proclaimed that the teaching of Shakyamuni was an “atheistic religion.”, which is correct, and that it would be wrong to describe it as “unscientific.” The Bolsheviks even went so far as to celebrate the historical Buddha as the original founder of Communism and to glorify Lenin as an incarnation of the Enlightened One. Dalai Lama is a surviving apostle of the era of communism.
At the very moment when the Soviet Union ends, Blavatsky is celebrated and the year is called "The International Year of Blavatsky." A whole program was established to republish her books in the Soviet Union. And it turns out, to cut a long story short, that Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa were deep friends with someone who was a promoter of the Theosophical doctrines in the Soviet Union, which consequently became one huge Lodge of Theosophy under Buddha.It is a well-known maxim that where religion regresses, superstition progresses. Today we are seeing a proliferation of the occult, spiritism and witchcraft, a surge of interest among youth in dangerous occult links and the dark side of “witch-power.” The association of rock music with the occult and Satanism is well-documented (see Michael Matt’s new book, Gods of Wasteland). We are witnesses of horrific crimes with satanic hues committed by teen-agers and even 11-year-olds.
Theosophic Science
Newton:We are but various contextures of some certain aetherial spirits and vapours
Blavatsky's mission, a Society historian observed, was “to investigate spiritualism, expose its frauds, to enlarge its spiritual scope, and to give it the dignity in the world of science which was its due.” She delivered up an unlikely hodge-podge of Hinduism, Gnosticim, and pseudo-science (kind of fraudulent cloning made in South Korea, the homeland of the new, self-proclaimed New Age Savior), which had a tremendous impact on the anti-Semitic intelligentsia of the West, especially in the Anglo-American area. When Blavatsky died May 8, 1891 in England her ashes were distributed in England, America and India, which prompted G.K. Chesterton to have observed, “A large section of the intelligentsia seems wholly devoid of intelligence.” (G.K. Chesterton)
People communicate with ghosts during sleep
Source: URL: http://english.pravda.ru/science/mysteries/94438-ghosts_sleep-0 03.07.2007 They have their Ghost Whisperers (i.e. imported Scientologists) too:
“A United Kingdom insurance company actually has a "Spook safe Policy!" Terry Meggs, the owner of the Royal Falcon Hotel in Lowestoff, Suffolk, purchased the Spook safe policy from the Ultraviolet Insurance Company after he saw shot glasses shooting across the bar as if invisible hands were pushing them. The hotel is haunted and is also next door to an old graveyard, so Meggs was concerned that someone would be harmed. In an unrelated case, the same insurance company claims that they paid out 100,000 pounds when an American woman died after being thrown over the banister of her home by a ghost.” Two weeks or so later Gazeta Wyorcza reported the decision to build in Warsaw a Center of Science “Kopernik” (Gazeta Wyborcza 19-07-07, 22:37). Recall that The University in Thorun named after Copernicus was the first political initiative of the Red Army after it captured Poland. The Red Army soldiers also conducted the ill-famous Pendulum experiences allegedly proving that the earth is moving. The Blog4Brownback which in the same year exposed Heliocentrism as an atheist doctrine was, of course, ignored totally in Poland.
The general Mediterranean culture would find nothing impossible about that vision of Hector to Aeneas. Nothing in that story would have raised a first-century eyebrow. The dead existed in the realm of Hades or Sheol and could reappear thence to the living. Thus, although Hector's body had flamed to ashes on a Trojan funeral pyre, his body was still visible and recognizable to Aeneas. That the dead could return and interact with the living was a commonplace of the Greco-Roman world, and neither pagans nor Jews would have asserted that it could not happen. That such interaction could generate important process and events, as with Hector saving Aeneas to found the Roman people and the Julian ascendancy, was a commonplace. You did not expect the dead to return from Hades simply to say hello. You could easily say that such a return did not happen this time or that time. You could not say that it never happened anywhere or could never happen at all. (Gregory J. Riley, Resurrection Reconsidered, p, 67). The same logic is behind R. Dawkins's soaring speculations about spontaneous beginning of life in his The God Delusion, a book on the shelves of every branch of Public Libraries.
Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady and the present Secretary of State revealed in1996 that she regularly consults with “spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt”¹ for advice (The Skeptic Magazine, Ten Years of Skepticism) Hillary is solidly behind New Age educational principles.
The above quoted article about ghosts published by the former organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was assigned to the category of mysteries of Science even though the belief in ghosts and spirit was always regarded as a superstition belonging to folklore. So let me elaborate on this identification of belief of the uneducated and superstitious people with the teachings of the learned world adorned with their scientific titles and Nobel Prizes.
Matter (Tree of Life) and Immortality
And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die' And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. (Gen 3: 2-5)
Tree of Life represents creative forces in the universe. Sunbirds sit on the branches; a five-headed cobra, symbolizing water, rises from the trunk. In the middle of the tree the sun is placed reminiscent of the heliocentrically conceived universe in which energy (Brahma, or pyr technikon of Stoics) plays the most important creative part. One recalls that Akhenaten made solar heat his God, and called it “One” (Equivalence of matter and energy, which never die). --Alexander the Great prays to the sun and moon as he journeys to the world’s end. (From the Alexander Romance in a 16th –century French manuscript).
In chapter LXXXI of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, called “Transformation into the Lotus,” a head emerging from this flower, the god exclaims: “I am the pure lotus, emerging from the Luminous one…I carry the messages of Horus. I am the pure lotus which comes from the Solar Fields…”
In myths and legends from around the world, trees appear as ladders between worlds, as sources of life and wisdom, and as the physical forms of supernatural beings. In one particular instance Greek religion contributed directly to Greek philosophy by handing over to philosophy the doctrine of immortality – a doctrine which in every stage of its philosophical development has retained the mark of its theological origin. Plato, for example, distinctly refers it to the Bacchic and Orphic mysteries.
Taking the term in its widest sense, matter signifies that out of which anything is made or composed. Thus the original meaning of hyle ( Homer's 'υλή) is “wood,” in the sense of “grove” or “forest”, and hence, derivately,”wood cut down” or timber. The Latin materia,, as opposed to lignum (wood used for fuel), has also meaning of timber for building purposes.
The Greeks originally had no word for matter in general, as opposed to raw material suitable for some specific purpose or other, so Aristotle adopted the word for lumber ('υλή) for this purpose. Aristotle had chosen this particular word because of its connotation with the idea of eternity and immortality and, accordingly, in certain philosophies matter as as the stuff out of which Demiurgos makes the world is co-existing with him. It was always there. The idea that everything physical is made of the same basic substance holds up well under modern science, although it may be thought of more in terms of energy or matter/energy. The Hindu term Brahma usually regarded as a name of a deity, actually is a neuter word meaning energy. The Hindu religious systems don't know personal God. Their theology was always theosophy i.e. Physics like that of the Stoics.
Whereas modern science strive to extend the mathematical picture of the physical universe into the realm of organic nature of man, the opposite tendency prevailed in Greek science. There the concepts and pictures of biology were projected into the realms of the physical world, thus transforming the cosmos into a living organism endowed with psyche and nous(Hindu Purusha, i.e. Cosmic Man)
Stoicism, the Roman Variant of Buddhism
The Hindus believe that the universe periodically dissolves (Cp. Big Bang’s contraction) and is then “re-created” (cp. Big Bang’s expansion). The period between dissolution and “re-creation” is known as “Pralaya”, a time of rest between creative periods. A period of creativity is called “Manvantara” and both periods constitute a “Kalpa” or a cycle of “creation.”
The Stoics regarded the cosmos as a finite body surrounded by an infinite void. This enabled the cosmos to expand or contract according to its various cosmic phases as described in the Stoic theory of ekpyrosis. The kalpa of the Hindus was translated by the Stoics as Great Year. The Stoics identified the Great Year with their hypothetical full cycle of cosmic transmutation of matter which consists of the preponderance of fire in the beginning, the differentiation of the other three elements in the intermediate stage, and the ascendancy of fire at the end, after which the cycle of transmutation begins anew. The cosmic cycle thus means that the cosmos, although subject to continuous metabolism, never dies and that its immortality is only another expression of the infinite extension of time, of the never ceasing succession of events. The mythic bird phoenix born gain out of its ashes became the best known symbol of this philosophy. The Romans had also their problem of global warming; Ekpyrosis originally denoted that period of cosmic cycle where the preponderance of the fiery element reaches its maximum. Reduction of gas emissions into atmosphere won't prevent the final fire. I don't understand how the scientists who are, so to say, spiritually, Stoics ignore this problem. It is inherent in Big Bang! The modern Stoic R. Dawkins writes: “The design hypothesis postulates a God who wrought a deliberate miracle, struck the prebiotic soup with divine fire and launched DNA, or something equivalent, on its Momentous career” (The god Delusion: 137). And that's exactly what lurks behind Darwin's “Little Worm Pond”
The entire creative process was labeled by the Hindus as “the breathing out of Brahma” while the dissolutionary process was seen as “the breathing in of Brahma”. The fiery breath infusing the body was called by the Stoics pneuma. Pneuma was the “creative fire” of the cosmos, a pyr technikon. The same pyr technikon is creating ghosts of the series Ghost Whisperer. It had the status of divinity, and was equated with both god and cosmic reason. Ex 32:24 reports miraculous birth of Golden Calf out of creative fire: `Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." The often-quoted Stoic sentence, “Nature is an artistically working fire, going on its way to create,” should be reminded in this context. The Vedic god Syria was a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun. There is a long history behind John Bull, the symbol of the Britons. R. Dawkins is his votary.
Pneuma and Newton
This Stoic term pneuma is the key opening the deepest secrets of the Newton mind, so let us dwell on it for a while. The Stoic cosmos is filled with an all pervading substratum (also known as 'substance')called pneuma, a term used synonymously with air (Cp. 'airhead!). A basic function of the pneuma is the generation of cohesion of matter and generally of the contact between all parts of the cosmos (Newton's gravity). (Carl Sagan's Contact' was inspired by this philosophy)
Sextus Empiricus, gives us the reason on which the Pythagoreans and Empedocles based their belief that the fellowship of men is not only with one another and with their gods, but also with animals: for there is one spirit (pneuma) which pervades, like a soul, the whole universe, and which also makes us one with them.” This link between gods, men and animals was observed in the Egyptian Theozoology. Theosophy is a follow up of this Egyptian Theozoology. And so is the Constantine dogma of 'consubstantiality'. (Homoousios)
The Stoics regarded the pneuma as the generator of physical qualities - the dogma immortalized by Descartes's 'Cogito ergo sum'). Chrysippos in his On Physical State wrote: The physical states are nothing else but spirits, because the bodies are made cohesive by them. And the binding air is the cause for those bound into such a state being imbued with a certain property which is called hardness in iron, solidity in stone, brightness in silver.” (...) Matter, being inert by itself and sluggish, is the substratum of the properties, which are pneumata and air-like tensions giving definite form to those parts of matter in which they reside.” Physis expresses organic structure and psyche the structure of the living being.
As pneuma took over some of the characteristic attributes of aether, there began a confusion of these two terms and one was substituted by the other. Cicero says that “air resembles aether and is closely connected with it.” Arios Didymos expresses it directly: “Pneuma...has become analogous to aether, so that both are used synonymously.” Similarly, Clemens Alexandrinus referring to a passage in Aratos' poem, indicates that he would prefer to attribute the binding force of the cosmos to aether rather than to the Stoic tension (i.e. a pulling force' like attraction) of the pneuma. (34)
During the Middle Ages, when Aristotle reigned supreme, aether again became the element confined to the celestial spheres, but from the beginning of the 17th century on, the term was generally used to express the universal substance imbued with all the properties attributed to it by the Stoics, as is well known from the writings of Descartes, Boyle, Newton and others. That explains Newton's identification of gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
In the Stoic doctrine, which is solar mythology dressed up as philosophy, bodies are made up of two principles, a passive, matter, and an active principle, form; but form itself is corporeal. It is warm vapour (pneuma), or fire, yet fire distinct from the element of this name; it is primitive fashioning fire (pyr technikon), sungod. In order to form the world a part of it changed itself into the elements, fire, air, water, earth, and constituted the body of the world, while another part retained its original shape, and in that shape confronts the first as form or soul. This was pure materialism, or spiritual materialism of the Aryan religious tradition.
We must remember that, although the Stoics believed in the corporeal nature of the pneuma, they came to regard it as something not akin to matter, but rather to force (force was identified by Leonardo da vinci with 'spirit'). The idea of the existence of forces continuous in space and time merged in Stoic doctrine with the conception of the ever-present and ever-permeating Deity. Pneuma became a concept, synonymous with God; On the one hand, natural force (i.e. pneuma) was seen as endowed with divine reason, and pneuma was given epithets like “sensible” or “intellectual” thus alluding to its god-like nature. On the other hand, God was identified with the all-penetrating pneuma, being totally mixed with hapless matter , and divine reason was defined as corporeal pneuma.
It is evident that the identification of God and Force derived from the conception of an agent which had the faculty of shaping things and causing changes in the physical world. Force as a universal cause in this sense, according to the Stoic conception, shares with matter both extension and continuity, but it differs from matter in that it has very little substantiality (and bulk)
Newton went even further and made conjectures about the ether as the origin of sensation. He speaks of “animal spirits (A. Mesmer transformed those “spirits” into animal magnetism but you have to keep in mind that Thales attributed soul to the magnet in order to explain its action on iron), of an aetheral nature subtle enough to pervade the animal juices...”, and he assumed that “the coats of the brain, nerves and muscles, may become convenient vessel to hold so subtle a spirit.” This statement is reformulated very clearly in the famous last paragraph of Principia: “And now we might add something concerning a certain most subtle spirit which pervades and lies in all gross bodies, by the force and action of which the particles of bodies mutually attract one another at near distance as well repelling as attracting the neighboring corpuscles (later Newton identified this “most subtle spirit” with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ); and light is emitted, reflected, refracted, and heats bodies; and all sensation is excited, and the members of animal bodies move by the command of the will, namely by vibrations of this spirit, mutually propagated along the solid filaments of the nerves, from the outward organs of sense to the brain, and from the brain into muscles.(Principia, ed by F. Cajori, 1947: 547) Here we see the hypothetical ether taking over one of the essential functions attributed by the Stoics to the pneuma.
An essential part of the Stoic philosophy is the hypothesis that there exists a centre of perception and consciousness, the “ruling part of the soul” (hegemonikon) which is located in a defined part of the body (most of Stoics identified it with the heart), band which is in the control of the five sensory organs, the generative part of the body, and the faculty of speech. Every stimulus from outside is conducted from the specific sense organ excited by it to the hegemonikon, which centralizes and coordinates the various impressions, elevates them into consciousness and then releases the impulse reacting to the sensations. The vital function of the hegemonikon as the central seat of consciousness, unifying all the activities of the soul and maintaining and regulating its contact with the external world, clearly defines a dual direction of communication: from the centre of the body to the various organs on its surface, and vice versa. It is through the incessant movement of pneuma to and fro between the hegemonikon and the surface of the body and this two way communication is established.
Two more analogies will furnish additional evidence for the assertion that the Stoics regarded the movement of the penuma as some sort of propagation of a state. In one of them the “seven parts of the soul” growing out of the hegemonikon and extending through the body are compared to the tentacles of an octopus...The term “by close contact” (de proximo) is a most striking expression of the Stoic principle of contiguous action which is here demonstrated by the propagation of an impact through the medium of the taut threads of the cobweb. In the Aryan solar mythology Kama-Manas is the link joining our animal (i.e. physical) to our spiritual nature, and is the battle-ground of life's struggles (for survival). Man is primarily divine, a spark of the Divine life; this living flame passing out from the Central Fire, weaves for itself coverings within which it dwells and thus becomes the Triad, the Atma-Buddhi-Manas, the Immortal Self.
In the paper entitled De Aere et Aethere Newton wrote: “Just as bodies of this earth by breaking into small particles are converted into air, so these particles can be broken into lesser ones by some violent action and converted into yet more subtle air which, if it is subtle enough to penetrate the pores of the glass, crystal and other terrestrial bodies, we may call spirit of the air, or the ether. The incorporeal ether which facilitates gravitation (The Stoic hexis) is actually the body or spiritual form of Jesus Christ.” Clemens Alexandrinus wrote: “It is better to take aether as the all unifying and binding substance, as was also said by Empedocles.” (Stromateis, V, 8) If this were really true, then whatever cohesion would be created by the pneuma should exists in all bodies. But this is not the case,for some bodies are cohesive and others discontinuous ... which means that those bodies which fall apart would contain no binding pneuma (Alexander Aphrodisiensis, De mixione, p. 225,6 ff) The wafer of the Holy Communion is supposed to prevent your body from disintegrating, therefore it resembles a little sun.
Half a century or so ago, the most authoritative encyclopedia of history in the U.S. listed Newton only once, and then only to indicate that he was made Warden of the Mint in 1696.(Gerald Holton Finding Favor with the Angel of the Lord: Notes Toward the Psychobiographical Study of sceintific Genius; in: The Interaction Between Science and Philosophy. Ed. By Y. Elkana. 1974. Atlantic Highlands, N.J., p.385) On Oct. 4, 1957 when the first sputnik was launched from the Soviet Union, the Soviet scientists assured that its speed and trajectory were calculated using Newton’s Laws, the same laws that Halley used to calculate the trajectory of his comet, which in 1986 abandoned its usual trajectory over the Northern Hemisphere and went instead to the Southern one.
I see the inspiration for this particular idea of Newton's in the icon of Jesus Christ in a painting of the descent from the cross in the church of Rennes-les-Bains; the crown of thorns has been given the appearance of a gigantic spider. The spider belongs to the mythological lore of the Brahmins who assert, that the world arose from the infinite spider, who spun the whole complicated mass from his bowels, and annihilates afterwards the whole or any part of it, by absorbing it again, and resolving it into his own essence (Cp. Big Bang's rhythm of expansion and contraction). The spider is a variant of Brahma.¹
G.J. Von Leuchen aka Rheticus was the only pupil of N. Copernicus. After having spent two years with Copernicus in Frauenburg (This town became the spiritual centre of the International Feminist Movement) he went to Danzig where he published his Narratio Prima or the First Report (1540) which is still considered to be the best introduction to Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. In 1542 Rheticus traveled to Nuernberg to supervise the printing of the Copernicus' book by Johannes Petreius.
A short passage in his Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) is the best key unlocking the astrological taproot of De revolutionibus. In this passage he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart (Hegemonikon) in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages.
Some of Newton's early ideas derive the aether from the principles of continuity and mixture in a picture surprisingly close to the basic Stoic assumptions: “Perhaps the whole frame of nature may be nothing but various contextures of some certain aetherial spirits and vapours, condensed as it were by precipitation...and after condensation wrought into various forms...Thus perhaps may all things be originated from aether.” In 1887 Albert a. Michelson and Edward W. Morley, conducted an experiment that put an end to the ether concept. But Pravda still believes Newton. Let me remind here that the early Bolsheviks were regarded as Russian Americans.(See Rene Fuelop-Miller, the Mind and Face of Bolshevism. Harper Torchbooks. 1965)
In the 19th century, hylozoism had been revived by some thinkers as a postulate of Science. Literally taken, it would be materialism, and in that sense is indefatigably advocated by E. Haeckel, who identifies mind with organization and life, and life with energy, which he makes a property of the atoms. Matter is for him the only reality. He, moreover, imagines ether to be the primitive substance, a part of which, as was the case with the primitive fire of the Stoics, transformed itself through condensation into inert mass, while another part of it subsists as ether and constitutes the active principle, spirit. Once the body, or inert mass rots away, the spirit is a free agent again, ready to counsel or frequent bars and pubs, preferably those close to cemeteries.
"Vishnu in the form of the Solar active energy, neither ever rises nor sets, and is at once, the sevenfold Sun and distinct from it," says Vishnu Purana (Book II., Chap. 1 1).
Universe, a Seven-Storey Cake
You have a Universe manifested in seven different forms of matter, subtle at the beginning, denser at the end, and, so to speak, arranged in seven different stages or, as we say, seven different planes of manifestation. To take a very rough image, to put to you by physical analogy what I mean, you might have in a chemical experiment a receiver that appeared to be empty, you might subject that receiver to constantly increasing cold. As you lowered the temperature the apparently empty receiver would soon be filled with a delicate mist; as you continued to lower the temperature, that mist would gradually assume the form of definite vapour, then of definite liquid, and further on of solid(the Stoic pneuma of physis is more humid and colder, while that of psyche is drier and hotter. To say that pneuma under certain circumstances is “wetter and colder” and sometimes “drier and hotter,” comes very near to the Newtonian conception of a simple substance “intermixed with various vapours and exhalations). (Annie Besant, excerpt from the address given in London on September 4th, 1891, to the United Democratic Club. A. Besant was one of two leading figures in Theosophy movement in 19th century)
The worm of today is the God of tomorrow. (Swami Vivekananda)
Newton's idea was to explain the force of gravity by the gradually varying degrees of density of the ethereal medium “Is not this medium much rarer within the dense bodies of the sun, stars and planets and comets than in the empty celestial sphere between them? And in passing from them to great distances, doth it not grow denser and denser perpetually and thereby cause the gravity of those great bodies towards one another, and of their parts towards the bodies; every body endeavoring to go from the denser parts of the medium towards the rarer? As the Gnostics taught? When we try to find a closer analogy to the Stoic idea of the working of the pneuma, it will be worth while to contrast this principle of differentiation by density gradients with Newton's earlier speculations on the aether. In his letter to Oldenburg before, he says: “But it is not to be supposed that this medium is one uniform matter, but composed partly of the main phlegmatic body of aether, partly of other various aethereal spirits, much after the manner that air is composed of the phlegmatic body of air intermixed with various vapours and exhalations. For the electric and magnetic effluvia, and the gravitating principle seem to argue such variety. The principle of differentiation by mixture propounded here is very similar to that of the Stoics which we would trace back to that of Diogenes of Apollonia. Pneuma, it is true, had gradually become the “fifth element”, identified with aether, and was probably in the course of time detached from its origins and regarded as a simple substance. The Aryan idea of castes and Stalin's idea of purges are rooted in such a teaching.

Well, Sir William Crookes, Physicist, chemist and a President of Royal Society, claimed to have seen materialized, by scientific precipitation spirit forms, or spiritual bodies walking and talking during séances He invited the two secretaries of the Royal Society, Professor Stokes and Sharpey, to visit his home to witness the phenomena for themselves – an invitation which neither of them accepted. Sir Crookes himself materialized a spirit whom he named Katie King and described her in such words:
"Round her she made an atmosphere of life;
The very air seemed lighter from her eyes;
They were so soft and beautiful and rife
With all we can imagine of the skies;
Her overpowering presence makes you feel
It would not be idolatry to kneel!"
(See his pamphlet The Last of Katie King, p. 112)
Among those most eager to reevaluate Leni's work after Olympia played in England were the cineastes at London's British Film Institute. In April 1960, they invited her to lecture at the National Film Theatre on “My Work in Films” as part of a series of celebrity screenings. Among Leni's defenders was the venerable documentarian John Grierson. He reportedly kissed her foot in public and said, Lenin Riefenstahl is one of the greatest filmmakers in the world (which she, certainly, was not), and certainly the greatest female filmmaker in history. Incidentally, the films that made her famous were banned in her homeland. (Steven Bach. LENI. The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl.Alfred A. Knopf New York 2007)
But wait, there is more. Ch. Darwin, writing to Sir Francis Galton on 23 Jan. 1872, said: “Have you seen Mr. Crookes? I hope to heaven you have, as I for one should feel entire confidence in your conclusion!” In 1874 after reading Crookes’s Notes of an Enquiry into the Phenomena Called Spiritual, Darwin remarked in a letter to Lady Derby, “If you had called here after I had read the article you would have found me a much perplexed man. Cannot disbelieve Mr.Crookes’s statements, nor can believe his results!” Galton did indeed call in Crookes, and he was soon able to report to Darwin, in a letter dated March 28, 1872: “Crookes is working deliberately and well.” Three weeks later Galton wrote: “Crookes, I am sure so far as it is just for me to give an opinion, is thoroughly scientific in his procedure, like the Pravda assures us. I am convinced; the affair is no matter of vulgar legerdemain.” And that's what Science, according to Blavatsky's Isis Priesthood, is.
Crookes’s records of his experiments fall far short (as he himself admitted) of the standards the subject demanded. His scientific achievements may have engendered a certain assumption of omnipotence, for in 1871 he was able to say without embarrassment: “Others have gone so far as to question my veracity: “Mr. Crookes must get better witnesses before he can be believed!” Accustomed as I am to have my word believed without witness, this is an argument which I cannot condescend to answer.” (Man, Myth, Magic, v. 4, p547n). That’s how a President of the Royal Society ‘s mind works. One thing, however, remains to be explained, we don’t know if Sir Crookes danced with Katie King and, if he cared to weigh her with Colonel Olcott’s spring balance. Keep in mind that, according to the Fifth Gospel of Newton, gravity is the spiritual body of Jesus Christ... Will somebody materialize Jesus Christ, or John Paul II, please? In 1874, Walt Whitman was invited to write a poem about the Spiritualism movement, to which he responded, "It seems to me nearly altogether a poor, cheap, crude humbug." Therefore the genial poet W. Whitman willnever be as popular as Ch. Darwin or R. Dawkins for that matter.
Evolution as Religion of Blavatsky's Isis Priesthood
The promotion of evolution – both biological and cosmic – by its champions grows ever more evangelical as time goes by. Proponents sound more and more like preachers. Who can forget the priestly image of Carl Sagan standing behind the scientific pulpit on Cosmos, with majestic music and inspiring images in the background? The book titles sound increasingly religious – Darwin's Cathedral, River out of Eden, The Devil's Chaplain, The Creation, The Demon-Haunted World, The Dragons of Eden, The First Three Minutes, The God Gene, In the Beginning.(Karl W. Giberson, Saving Darwin. How to be a Christian and believe in Evolution. Harper One. 2006)
The part of my essay dealing with the Stoic physics was based on Prof. S. Sambursky's book The Physics of the Stoics. New York 1959. However, unlike Prof. Sambursky I reject heliocentrism and evolutionism.
Similar occult revival in the post-communist Russia, Britain and the USA was inspired by the theosophical teaching of the Russian 'witch' (so defined by New Catholic Encyclopedia) Helena P. Blavatsky who in 1875 established in New York the Lodge of the United Theosophists. And thus H. Blavatsky's Esoteric Buddhism became religious bond linking Russia, United States and Great Britain. The series about Harry Potter belong here. Harry Potter is the latest incarnation of King Arthur's Magician Merlin.
The religious activities of a certain Dorijev, the Buddhist Missionary in Russia were awarded with the construction of Buddhist temple in St. Petersburg. Interestingly, Dorijev along with many famous Russian orientalists, was convinced that Communism and Buddhism were compatible. He publicly proclaimed that the teaching of Shakyamuni was an “atheistic religion.”, which is correct, and that it would be wrong to describe it as “unscientific.” The Bolsheviks even went so far as to celebrate the historical Buddha as the original founder of Communism and to glorify Lenin as an incarnation of the Enlightened One. Dalai Lama is a surviving apostle of the era of communism.
At the very moment when the Soviet Union ends, Blavatsky is celebrated and the year is called "The International Year of Blavatsky." A whole program was established to republish her books in the Soviet Union. And it turns out, to cut a long story short, that Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa were deep friends with someone who was a promoter of the Theosophical doctrines in the Soviet Union, which consequently became one huge Lodge of Theosophy under Buddha.It is a well-known maxim that where religion regresses, superstition progresses. Today we are seeing a proliferation of the occult, spiritism and witchcraft, a surge of interest among youth in dangerous occult links and the dark side of “witch-power.” The association of rock music with the occult and Satanism is well-documented (see Michael Matt’s new book, Gods of Wasteland). We are witnesses of horrific crimes with satanic hues committed by teen-agers and even 11-year-olds.

Blavatsky's mission, a Society historian observed, was “to investigate spiritualism, expose its frauds, to enlarge its spiritual scope, and to give it the dignity in the world of science which was its due.” She delivered up an unlikely hodge-podge of Hinduism, Gnosticim, and pseudo-science (kind of fraudulent cloning made in South Korea, the homeland of the new, self-proclaimed New Age Savior), which had a tremendous impact on the anti-Semitic intelligentsia of the West, especially in the Anglo-American area. When Blavatsky died May 8, 1891 in England her ashes were distributed in England, America and India, which prompted G.K. Chesterton to have observed, “A large section of the intelligentsia seems wholly devoid of intelligence.” (G.K. Chesterton)
People communicate with ghosts during sleep

“A United Kingdom insurance company actually has a "Spook safe Policy!" Terry Meggs, the owner of the Royal Falcon Hotel in Lowestoff, Suffolk, purchased the Spook safe policy from the Ultraviolet Insurance Company after he saw shot glasses shooting across the bar as if invisible hands were pushing them. The hotel is haunted and is also next door to an old graveyard, so Meggs was concerned that someone would be harmed. In an unrelated case, the same insurance company claims that they paid out 100,000 pounds when an American woman died after being thrown over the banister of her home by a ghost.” Two weeks or so later Gazeta Wyorcza reported the decision to build in Warsaw a Center of Science “Kopernik” (Gazeta Wyborcza 19-07-07, 22:37). Recall that The University in Thorun named after Copernicus was the first political initiative of the Red Army after it captured Poland. The Red Army soldiers also conducted the ill-famous Pendulum experiences allegedly proving that the earth is moving. The Blog4Brownback which in the same year exposed Heliocentrism as an atheist doctrine was, of course, ignored totally in Poland.
The general Mediterranean culture would find nothing impossible about that vision of Hector to Aeneas. Nothing in that story would have raised a first-century eyebrow. The dead existed in the realm of Hades or Sheol and could reappear thence to the living. Thus, although Hector's body had flamed to ashes on a Trojan funeral pyre, his body was still visible and recognizable to Aeneas. That the dead could return and interact with the living was a commonplace of the Greco-Roman world, and neither pagans nor Jews would have asserted that it could not happen. That such interaction could generate important process and events, as with Hector saving Aeneas to found the Roman people and the Julian ascendancy, was a commonplace. You did not expect the dead to return from Hades simply to say hello. You could easily say that such a return did not happen this time or that time. You could not say that it never happened anywhere or could never happen at all. (Gregory J. Riley, Resurrection Reconsidered, p, 67). The same logic is behind R. Dawkins's soaring speculations about spontaneous beginning of life in his The God Delusion, a book on the shelves of every branch of Public Libraries.
Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady and the present Secretary of State revealed in1996 that she regularly consults with “spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt”¹ for advice (The Skeptic Magazine, Ten Years of Skepticism) Hillary is solidly behind New Age educational principles.
The above quoted article about ghosts published by the former organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was assigned to the category of mysteries of Science even though the belief in ghosts and spirit was always regarded as a superstition belonging to folklore. So let me elaborate on this identification of belief of the uneducated and superstitious people with the teachings of the learned world adorned with their scientific titles and Nobel Prizes.
Matter (Tree of Life) and Immortality
And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die' And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. (Gen 3: 2-5)
Tree of Life represents creative forces in the universe. Sunbirds sit on the branches; a five-headed cobra, symbolizing water, rises from the trunk. In the middle of the tree the sun is placed reminiscent of the heliocentrically conceived universe in which energy (Brahma, or pyr technikon of Stoics) plays the most important creative part. One recalls that Akhenaten made solar heat his God, and called it “One” (Equivalence of matter and energy, which never die). --Alexander the Great prays to the sun and moon as he journeys to the world’s end. (From the Alexander Romance in a 16th –century French manuscript).
In chapter LXXXI of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, called “Transformation into the Lotus,” a head emerging from this flower, the god exclaims: “I am the pure lotus, emerging from the Luminous one…I carry the messages of Horus. I am the pure lotus which comes from the Solar Fields…”
In myths and legends from around the world, trees appear as ladders between worlds, as sources of life and wisdom, and as the physical forms of supernatural beings. In one particular instance Greek religion contributed directly to Greek philosophy by handing over to philosophy the doctrine of immortality – a doctrine which in every stage of its philosophical development has retained the mark of its theological origin. Plato, for example, distinctly refers it to the Bacchic and Orphic mysteries.
Taking the term in its widest sense, matter signifies that out of which anything is made or composed. Thus the original meaning of hyle ( Homer's 'υλή) is “wood,” in the sense of “grove” or “forest”, and hence, derivately,”wood cut down” or timber. The Latin materia,, as opposed to lignum (wood used for fuel), has also meaning of timber for building purposes.
The Greeks originally had no word for matter in general, as opposed to raw material suitable for some specific purpose or other, so Aristotle adopted the word for lumber ('υλή) for this purpose. Aristotle had chosen this particular word because of its connotation with the idea of eternity and immortality and, accordingly, in certain philosophies matter as as the stuff out of which Demiurgos makes the world is co-existing with him. It was always there. The idea that everything physical is made of the same basic substance holds up well under modern science, although it may be thought of more in terms of energy or matter/energy. The Hindu term Brahma usually regarded as a name of a deity, actually is a neuter word meaning energy. The Hindu religious systems don't know personal God. Their theology was always theosophy i.e. Physics like that of the Stoics.
Whereas modern science strive to extend the mathematical picture of the physical universe into the realm of organic nature of man, the opposite tendency prevailed in Greek science. There the concepts and pictures of biology were projected into the realms of the physical world, thus transforming the cosmos into a living organism endowed with psyche and nous(Hindu Purusha, i.e. Cosmic Man)
Stoicism, the Roman Variant of Buddhism
The Hindus believe that the universe periodically dissolves (Cp. Big Bang’s contraction) and is then “re-created” (cp. Big Bang’s expansion). The period between dissolution and “re-creation” is known as “Pralaya”, a time of rest between creative periods. A period of creativity is called “Manvantara” and both periods constitute a “Kalpa” or a cycle of “creation.”
The Stoics regarded the cosmos as a finite body surrounded by an infinite void. This enabled the cosmos to expand or contract according to its various cosmic phases as described in the Stoic theory of ekpyrosis. The kalpa of the Hindus was translated by the Stoics as Great Year. The Stoics identified the Great Year with their hypothetical full cycle of cosmic transmutation of matter which consists of the preponderance of fire in the beginning, the differentiation of the other three elements in the intermediate stage, and the ascendancy of fire at the end, after which the cycle of transmutation begins anew. The cosmic cycle thus means that the cosmos, although subject to continuous metabolism, never dies and that its immortality is only another expression of the infinite extension of time, of the never ceasing succession of events. The mythic bird phoenix born gain out of its ashes became the best known symbol of this philosophy. The Romans had also their problem of global warming; Ekpyrosis originally denoted that period of cosmic cycle where the preponderance of the fiery element reaches its maximum. Reduction of gas emissions into atmosphere won't prevent the final fire. I don't understand how the scientists who are, so to say, spiritually, Stoics ignore this problem. It is inherent in Big Bang! The modern Stoic R. Dawkins writes: “The design hypothesis postulates a God who wrought a deliberate miracle, struck the prebiotic soup with divine fire and launched DNA, or something equivalent, on its Momentous career” (The god Delusion: 137). And that's exactly what lurks behind Darwin's “Little Worm Pond”
The entire creative process was labeled by the Hindus as “the breathing out of Brahma” while the dissolutionary process was seen as “the breathing in of Brahma”. The fiery breath infusing the body was called by the Stoics pneuma. Pneuma was the “creative fire” of the cosmos, a pyr technikon. The same pyr technikon is creating ghosts of the series Ghost Whisperer. It had the status of divinity, and was equated with both god and cosmic reason. Ex 32:24 reports miraculous birth of Golden Calf out of creative fire: `Let any who have gold take it off'; so they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and there came out this calf." The often-quoted Stoic sentence, “Nature is an artistically working fire, going on its way to create,” should be reminded in this context. The Vedic god Syria was a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun. There is a long history behind John Bull, the symbol of the Britons. R. Dawkins is his votary.
Pneuma and Newton
This Stoic term pneuma is the key opening the deepest secrets of the Newton mind, so let us dwell on it for a while. The Stoic cosmos is filled with an all pervading substratum (also known as 'substance')called pneuma, a term used synonymously with air (Cp. 'airhead!). A basic function of the pneuma is the generation of cohesion of matter and generally of the contact between all parts of the cosmos (Newton's gravity). (Carl Sagan's Contact' was inspired by this philosophy)
Sextus Empiricus, gives us the reason on which the Pythagoreans and Empedocles based their belief that the fellowship of men is not only with one another and with their gods, but also with animals: for there is one spirit (pneuma) which pervades, like a soul, the whole universe, and which also makes us one with them.” This link between gods, men and animals was observed in the Egyptian Theozoology. Theosophy is a follow up of this Egyptian Theozoology. And so is the Constantine dogma of 'consubstantiality'. (Homoousios)
The Stoics regarded the pneuma as the generator of physical qualities - the dogma immortalized by Descartes's 'Cogito ergo sum'). Chrysippos in his On Physical State wrote: The physical states are nothing else but spirits, because the bodies are made cohesive by them. And the binding air is the cause for those bound into such a state being imbued with a certain property which is called hardness in iron, solidity in stone, brightness in silver.” (...) Matter, being inert by itself and sluggish, is the substratum of the properties, which are pneumata and air-like tensions giving definite form to those parts of matter in which they reside.” Physis expresses organic structure and psyche the structure of the living being.
As pneuma took over some of the characteristic attributes of aether, there began a confusion of these two terms and one was substituted by the other. Cicero says that “air resembles aether and is closely connected with it.” Arios Didymos expresses it directly: “Pneuma...has become analogous to aether, so that both are used synonymously.” Similarly, Clemens Alexandrinus referring to a passage in Aratos' poem, indicates that he would prefer to attribute the binding force of the cosmos to aether rather than to the Stoic tension (i.e. a pulling force' like attraction) of the pneuma. (34)
During the Middle Ages, when Aristotle reigned supreme, aether again became the element confined to the celestial spheres, but from the beginning of the 17th century on, the term was generally used to express the universal substance imbued with all the properties attributed to it by the Stoics, as is well known from the writings of Descartes, Boyle, Newton and others. That explains Newton's identification of gravity with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
In the Stoic doctrine, which is solar mythology dressed up as philosophy, bodies are made up of two principles, a passive, matter, and an active principle, form; but form itself is corporeal. It is warm vapour (pneuma), or fire, yet fire distinct from the element of this name; it is primitive fashioning fire (pyr technikon), sungod. In order to form the world a part of it changed itself into the elements, fire, air, water, earth, and constituted the body of the world, while another part retained its original shape, and in that shape confronts the first as form or soul. This was pure materialism, or spiritual materialism of the Aryan religious tradition.
We must remember that, although the Stoics believed in the corporeal nature of the pneuma, they came to regard it as something not akin to matter, but rather to force (force was identified by Leonardo da vinci with 'spirit'). The idea of the existence of forces continuous in space and time merged in Stoic doctrine with the conception of the ever-present and ever-permeating Deity. Pneuma became a concept, synonymous with God; On the one hand, natural force (i.e. pneuma) was seen as endowed with divine reason, and pneuma was given epithets like “sensible” or “intellectual” thus alluding to its god-like nature. On the other hand, God was identified with the all-penetrating pneuma, being totally mixed with hapless matter , and divine reason was defined as corporeal pneuma.
It is evident that the identification of God and Force derived from the conception of an agent which had the faculty of shaping things and causing changes in the physical world. Force as a universal cause in this sense, according to the Stoic conception, shares with matter both extension and continuity, but it differs from matter in that it has very little substantiality (and bulk)
Newton went even further and made conjectures about the ether as the origin of sensation. He speaks of “animal spirits (A. Mesmer transformed those “spirits” into animal magnetism but you have to keep in mind that Thales attributed soul to the magnet in order to explain its action on iron), of an aetheral nature subtle enough to pervade the animal juices...”, and he assumed that “the coats of the brain, nerves and muscles, may become convenient vessel to hold so subtle a spirit.” This statement is reformulated very clearly in the famous last paragraph of Principia: “And now we might add something concerning a certain most subtle spirit which pervades and lies in all gross bodies, by the force and action of which the particles of bodies mutually attract one another at near distance as well repelling as attracting the neighboring corpuscles (later Newton identified this “most subtle spirit” with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ); and light is emitted, reflected, refracted, and heats bodies; and all sensation is excited, and the members of animal bodies move by the command of the will, namely by vibrations of this spirit, mutually propagated along the solid filaments of the nerves, from the outward organs of sense to the brain, and from the brain into muscles.(Principia, ed by F. Cajori, 1947: 547) Here we see the hypothetical ether taking over one of the essential functions attributed by the Stoics to the pneuma.
An essential part of the Stoic philosophy is the hypothesis that there exists a centre of perception and consciousness, the “ruling part of the soul” (hegemonikon) which is located in a defined part of the body (most of Stoics identified it with the heart), band which is in the control of the five sensory organs, the generative part of the body, and the faculty of speech. Every stimulus from outside is conducted from the specific sense organ excited by it to the hegemonikon, which centralizes and coordinates the various impressions, elevates them into consciousness and then releases the impulse reacting to the sensations. The vital function of the hegemonikon as the central seat of consciousness, unifying all the activities of the soul and maintaining and regulating its contact with the external world, clearly defines a dual direction of communication: from the centre of the body to the various organs on its surface, and vice versa. It is through the incessant movement of pneuma to and fro between the hegemonikon and the surface of the body and this two way communication is established.
Two more analogies will furnish additional evidence for the assertion that the Stoics regarded the movement of the penuma as some sort of propagation of a state. In one of them the “seven parts of the soul” growing out of the hegemonikon and extending through the body are compared to the tentacles of an octopus...The term “by close contact” (de proximo) is a most striking expression of the Stoic principle of contiguous action which is here demonstrated by the propagation of an impact through the medium of the taut threads of the cobweb. In the Aryan solar mythology Kama-Manas is the link joining our animal (i.e. physical) to our spiritual nature, and is the battle-ground of life's struggles (for survival). Man is primarily divine, a spark of the Divine life; this living flame passing out from the Central Fire, weaves for itself coverings within which it dwells and thus becomes the Triad, the Atma-Buddhi-Manas, the Immortal Self.
In the paper entitled De Aere et Aethere Newton wrote: “Just as bodies of this earth by breaking into small particles are converted into air, so these particles can be broken into lesser ones by some violent action and converted into yet more subtle air which, if it is subtle enough to penetrate the pores of the glass, crystal and other terrestrial bodies, we may call spirit of the air, or the ether. The incorporeal ether which facilitates gravitation (The Stoic hexis) is actually the body or spiritual form of Jesus Christ.” Clemens Alexandrinus wrote: “It is better to take aether as the all unifying and binding substance, as was also said by Empedocles.” (Stromateis, V, 8) If this were really true, then whatever cohesion would be created by the pneuma should exists in all bodies. But this is not the case,for some bodies are cohesive and others discontinuous ... which means that those bodies which fall apart would contain no binding pneuma (Alexander Aphrodisiensis, De mixione, p. 225,6 ff) The wafer of the Holy Communion is supposed to prevent your body from disintegrating, therefore it resembles a little sun.
Half a century or so ago, the most authoritative encyclopedia of history in the U.S. listed Newton only once, and then only to indicate that he was made Warden of the Mint in 1696.(Gerald Holton Finding Favor with the Angel of the Lord: Notes Toward the Psychobiographical Study of sceintific Genius; in: The Interaction Between Science and Philosophy. Ed. By Y. Elkana. 1974. Atlantic Highlands, N.J., p.385) On Oct. 4, 1957 when the first sputnik was launched from the Soviet Union, the Soviet scientists assured that its speed and trajectory were calculated using Newton’s Laws, the same laws that Halley used to calculate the trajectory of his comet, which in 1986 abandoned its usual trajectory over the Northern Hemisphere and went instead to the Southern one.
I see the inspiration for this particular idea of Newton's in the icon of Jesus Christ in a painting of the descent from the cross in the church of Rennes-les-Bains; the crown of thorns has been given the appearance of a gigantic spider. The spider belongs to the mythological lore of the Brahmins who assert, that the world arose from the infinite spider, who spun the whole complicated mass from his bowels, and annihilates afterwards the whole or any part of it, by absorbing it again, and resolving it into his own essence (Cp. Big Bang's rhythm of expansion and contraction). The spider is a variant of Brahma.¹
G.J. Von Leuchen aka Rheticus was the only pupil of N. Copernicus. After having spent two years with Copernicus in Frauenburg (This town became the spiritual centre of the International Feminist Movement) he went to Danzig where he published his Narratio Prima or the First Report (1540) which is still considered to be the best introduction to Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. In 1542 Rheticus traveled to Nuernberg to supervise the printing of the Copernicus' book by Johannes Petreius.
A short passage in his Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) is the best key unlocking the astrological taproot of De revolutionibus. In this passage he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart (Hegemonikon) in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages.
Some of Newton's early ideas derive the aether from the principles of continuity and mixture in a picture surprisingly close to the basic Stoic assumptions: “Perhaps the whole frame of nature may be nothing but various contextures of some certain aetherial spirits and vapours, condensed as it were by precipitation...and after condensation wrought into various forms...Thus perhaps may all things be originated from aether.” In 1887 Albert a. Michelson and Edward W. Morley, conducted an experiment that put an end to the ether concept. But Pravda still believes Newton. Let me remind here that the early Bolsheviks were regarded as Russian Americans.(See Rene Fuelop-Miller, the Mind and Face of Bolshevism. Harper Torchbooks. 1965)
In the 19th century, hylozoism had been revived by some thinkers as a postulate of Science. Literally taken, it would be materialism, and in that sense is indefatigably advocated by E. Haeckel, who identifies mind with organization and life, and life with energy, which he makes a property of the atoms. Matter is for him the only reality. He, moreover, imagines ether to be the primitive substance, a part of which, as was the case with the primitive fire of the Stoics, transformed itself through condensation into inert mass, while another part of it subsists as ether and constitutes the active principle, spirit. Once the body, or inert mass rots away, the spirit is a free agent again, ready to counsel or frequent bars and pubs, preferably those close to cemeteries.
"Vishnu in the form of the Solar active energy, neither ever rises nor sets, and is at once, the sevenfold Sun and distinct from it," says Vishnu Purana (Book II., Chap. 1 1).
Universe, a Seven-Storey Cake
You have a Universe manifested in seven different forms of matter, subtle at the beginning, denser at the end, and, so to speak, arranged in seven different stages or, as we say, seven different planes of manifestation. To take a very rough image, to put to you by physical analogy what I mean, you might have in a chemical experiment a receiver that appeared to be empty, you might subject that receiver to constantly increasing cold. As you lowered the temperature the apparently empty receiver would soon be filled with a delicate mist; as you continued to lower the temperature, that mist would gradually assume the form of definite vapour, then of definite liquid, and further on of solid(the Stoic pneuma of physis is more humid and colder, while that of psyche is drier and hotter. To say that pneuma under certain circumstances is “wetter and colder” and sometimes “drier and hotter,” comes very near to the Newtonian conception of a simple substance “intermixed with various vapours and exhalations). (Annie Besant, excerpt from the address given in London on September 4th, 1891, to the United Democratic Club. A. Besant was one of two leading figures in Theosophy movement in 19th century)
The worm of today is the God of tomorrow. (Swami Vivekananda)
Newton's idea was to explain the force of gravity by the gradually varying degrees of density of the ethereal medium “Is not this medium much rarer within the dense bodies of the sun, stars and planets and comets than in the empty celestial sphere between them? And in passing from them to great distances, doth it not grow denser and denser perpetually and thereby cause the gravity of those great bodies towards one another, and of their parts towards the bodies; every body endeavoring to go from the denser parts of the medium towards the rarer? As the Gnostics taught? When we try to find a closer analogy to the Stoic idea of the working of the pneuma, it will be worth while to contrast this principle of differentiation by density gradients with Newton's earlier speculations on the aether. In his letter to Oldenburg before, he says: “But it is not to be supposed that this medium is one uniform matter, but composed partly of the main phlegmatic body of aether, partly of other various aethereal spirits, much after the manner that air is composed of the phlegmatic body of air intermixed with various vapours and exhalations. For the electric and magnetic effluvia, and the gravitating principle seem to argue such variety. The principle of differentiation by mixture propounded here is very similar to that of the Stoics which we would trace back to that of Diogenes of Apollonia. Pneuma, it is true, had gradually become the “fifth element”, identified with aether, and was probably in the course of time detached from its origins and regarded as a simple substance. The Aryan idea of castes and Stalin's idea of purges are rooted in such a teaching.

Well, Sir William Crookes, Physicist, chemist and a President of Royal Society, claimed to have seen materialized, by scientific precipitation spirit forms, or spiritual bodies walking and talking during séances He invited the two secretaries of the Royal Society, Professor Stokes and Sharpey, to visit his home to witness the phenomena for themselves – an invitation which neither of them accepted. Sir Crookes himself materialized a spirit whom he named Katie King and described her in such words:
"Round her she made an atmosphere of life;
The very air seemed lighter from her eyes;
They were so soft and beautiful and rife
With all we can imagine of the skies;
Her overpowering presence makes you feel
It would not be idolatry to kneel!"
(See his pamphlet The Last of Katie King, p. 112)
Among those most eager to reevaluate Leni's work after Olympia played in England were the cineastes at London's British Film Institute. In April 1960, they invited her to lecture at the National Film Theatre on “My Work in Films” as part of a series of celebrity screenings. Among Leni's defenders was the venerable documentarian John Grierson. He reportedly kissed her foot in public and said, Lenin Riefenstahl is one of the greatest filmmakers in the world (which she, certainly, was not), and certainly the greatest female filmmaker in history. Incidentally, the films that made her famous were banned in her homeland. (Steven Bach. LENI. The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl.Alfred A. Knopf New York 2007)
But wait, there is more. Ch. Darwin, writing to Sir Francis Galton on 23 Jan. 1872, said: “Have you seen Mr. Crookes? I hope to heaven you have, as I for one should feel entire confidence in your conclusion!” In 1874 after reading Crookes’s Notes of an Enquiry into the Phenomena Called Spiritual, Darwin remarked in a letter to Lady Derby, “If you had called here after I had read the article you would have found me a much perplexed man. Cannot disbelieve Mr.Crookes’s statements, nor can believe his results!” Galton did indeed call in Crookes, and he was soon able to report to Darwin, in a letter dated March 28, 1872: “Crookes is working deliberately and well.” Three weeks later Galton wrote: “Crookes, I am sure so far as it is just for me to give an opinion, is thoroughly scientific in his procedure, like the Pravda assures us. I am convinced; the affair is no matter of vulgar legerdemain.” And that's what Science, according to Blavatsky's Isis Priesthood, is.
Crookes’s records of his experiments fall far short (as he himself admitted) of the standards the subject demanded. His scientific achievements may have engendered a certain assumption of omnipotence, for in 1871 he was able to say without embarrassment: “Others have gone so far as to question my veracity: “Mr. Crookes must get better witnesses before he can be believed!” Accustomed as I am to have my word believed without witness, this is an argument which I cannot condescend to answer.” (Man, Myth, Magic, v. 4, p547n). That’s how a President of the Royal Society ‘s mind works. One thing, however, remains to be explained, we don’t know if Sir Crookes danced with Katie King and, if he cared to weigh her with Colonel Olcott’s spring balance. Keep in mind that, according to the Fifth Gospel of Newton, gravity is the spiritual body of Jesus Christ... Will somebody materialize Jesus Christ, or John Paul II, please? In 1874, Walt Whitman was invited to write a poem about the Spiritualism movement, to which he responded, "It seems to me nearly altogether a poor, cheap, crude humbug." Therefore the genial poet W. Whitman willnever be as popular as Ch. Darwin or R. Dawkins for that matter.
Evolution as Religion of Blavatsky's Isis Priesthood
The promotion of evolution – both biological and cosmic – by its champions grows ever more evangelical as time goes by. Proponents sound more and more like preachers. Who can forget the priestly image of Carl Sagan standing behind the scientific pulpit on Cosmos, with majestic music and inspiring images in the background? The book titles sound increasingly religious – Darwin's Cathedral, River out of Eden, The Devil's Chaplain, The Creation, The Demon-Haunted World, The Dragons of Eden, The First Three Minutes, The God Gene, In the Beginning.(Karl W. Giberson, Saving Darwin. How to be a Christian and believe in Evolution. Harper One. 2006)
The part of my essay dealing with the Stoic physics was based on Prof. S. Sambursky's book The Physics of the Stoics. New York 1959. However, unlike Prof. Sambursky I reject heliocentrism and evolutionism.
