  • PYRAMIDS and ZIGGURATS AS the ARCHITECTONIC REPRESENTATIONS of the ARCHETYPE of the COSMIC MOUNTAIN. Part I
    I Andrzej WIERCINSKI, Warszawa PYRAMIDS AND ZIGGURATS AS THE ARCHITECTONIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ARCHETYPE OF THE COSMIC MOUNTAIN. Part I "Is there a man of you who by anxious thought can add a cubit to the age of his life? "(The Gospel of St. Matthew, 6, 27, according to Greek text) 1. Explanation of the problem The astrobiological religion played the role of a main ideological system which regulated societies of the formative-theocratic phase of cultural development of mankind which was distinguished by the rise of cultic centers of the monumental architecture. The latter ones were the cores of early urbanisation process. This religion has precised a model of the world with well defined position of man within it, and the sense of his activities. Its essence consisted of a dynamical and informational principle of transformation of an Absolute One into pairs of polarised opposites which, in turn, create an universal frame of reference of Cardinal Points organizing the time-spatial order of rhythmically repeating and mutually synchron­ ised cosmic, biological and socio-cultural processes and, at last, the psychic processes of the human individual. All these was vivified, personificated and deified ( for the main assumtions of the model see: A. Wiercinski, 19761 ). The astrobiological model of the world and man was statically patterned in mutually equivalent, due to a symbolical analogisation, archetypical (in Jungian sense) and iconic-numerical representations. Among them, the main position has been occupied by: the Cosmic Mountain, the Cosmic Tree � Cosmic Ladder � Cosmic Pillar, the Mandala, the Cosmic Man� man as Microcosmos and, © Del documento, los autores.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Medieval Numerology: a Brief Guide
    Medieval Numerology: A Brief Guide Numerology is the belief that particular numbers have mystical significance, a concept of key importance in the Jewish tradition of the Hebrew Bible (or, as Christians often call it, the Old Testament). Early Christians continued the tradition in the New Testament and in medieval literature. The following is only a partial list of the meanings associated with important numbers. It is not exhaustive, and it does not give complete account for multiples such as 49 (7x7) or 144 (12x12), which were thought to have elaborate meanings. 1 God, Spiritual Unity, Creation, the First Age of the World 2 Adam and Eve, the creatures of the Ark, the two-fold nature of Christ (Christ as God and Man), the Flood, the Second Age of the World 3 The Trinity, the Heavens, Jonah (in the whale), Christ (in the tomb), three elements in man (body, reason, spirit), three elements of faith (knowledge, assent, confidence), three elements of repentance (contrition, confession, and satisfaction/absolution), the three Theological or Christian virtues (faith, hope, and charity), Abraham, the three Magi, three periods in time before the Law (Adam to Noah, to Abraham, to Moses), the Third Age of the World 4 The four corners of the earth with its four winds, the physical elements of alchemy (earth, air, water, fire), the four bodily humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, yellow bile), the Evangelists, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Four Cardinal or Pagan virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice), the Four Gospels, the four seasons, the four rivers of Paradise, the Four Blessings (Clarity, Impassivity, Knowledge, Delectation), the "Last Things" (death, judgment, Heaven, Hell), King David, the Fourth Age of the World.

  • Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Introduction 2
    Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Introduction 2 Introduction Welcome to the Higher Guidance Journaling Level I e-book. This is an excellent place to start exploring the Creative Mystic in you. What do I mean by that? The word “mystic” may conjure up a picture of an eccentric, gray-haired hermit, who lives on a mountain top, watching the clouds and deeply contemplating the meaning of life. However, most of us have no such luxury and may not even consider such an existence attractive. The times we live in call for a new kind of a mystic; a Creative Mystic. A Creative Mystic has a foot in both worlds: the physical world of laundry and picking up the kids from soccer plus the spiritual world of synchronicity and magical creation. A Creative Mystic finds Spirit not by retreating from life but by diving more deeply into it. We all have an innate longing to know ourselves. We find ourselves asking the question, “What is my purpose?” or “What is the meaning of this?” This is the awakening of the Creative Mystic that lives inside of us. These big questions initiate the quest of the mystic and we find ourselves on a path of exploration and discovery. Many spiritual leaders have told us to seek within for the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling provides an easy and practical tool for self- exploration and inner wisdom. You DO have the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling shows you how to get them. Enjoy the journey! To visit the Creative Mystic www.CreativeMystic.com website and signup for news and information.

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 10, October-2013 977 ISSN 2229-5518 PYRAMIDS ARE PREHISTORIC RF ANTENNA?!... (A new theory on Egyptian Great Pyramids) M.Arulmani, B.E. V.R.Hema Latha, M.A., M.Sc., M.Phil. (Engineer) (Biologist) [email protected] [email protected] IJSER 1. ABSTRACT A scientific based research in this article focus that Egyptian great Pyramids were constructed for communication purpose and served as RF Antennas for remote controlling of SUN, EARTH, MOON from MARS Planet just like our television is operated through remote. The Prehistoric human populations lived in MARS planet shall be considered as super scientists and expert in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Engineering Architect might have constructed the huge Pyramid structures without any difficulty. IJSER © 2013 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 10, October-2013 978 ISSN 2229-5518 This research focus that MARS shall be considered as main switching centre (MSC) Energy centre and the Great Pyramid shall be considered as “Main Earth Station” and other three associated nearby pyramids on the same line of axis shall be considered as Base Terminal stations (BTS) for independently controlling the axial position of SUN, EARTH, MOON. It is speculated that the positional control of SUN, MOON also might have been done from EARTH Planet as SUN, MOON are not influenced with Negatively charged “Electron Particle”. It is focused that the Great pyramids might have been constructed with Prehistoric “J-Technology” derived from Akkie Principles. It is speculated that thousands of other “So called Pyramids” existing in other part of world shall not be considered as Real Pyramids within the scope of Pyramid definition.
