LAPIS PHILOSOPHORUM Philosopher's stone - Wikipedia The philosopher's stone, more properly philosophers' stone or stone of the philosophers (Latin: lapis philosophorum) is a legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold (chrysopoeia, from the Greek ???s?? khrusos, "gold", and p??e?? poiein, "to make") or silver. It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality;[1] for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy. The philosophers' stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosophers' stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work").[2] History?[edit] Antiquity?[edit] The earliest known written mention of the philosophers' stone is in the Cheirokmeta by Zosimos of Panopolis (c. 300 AD).[3] Alchemical writers assign a longer history. Elias Ashmole and the anonymous author of Gloria Mundi (1620) claim that its history goes back to Adam, who acquired the knowledge of the stone directly from God. This knowledge was said to be passed down through biblical patriarchs, giving them their longevity. The legend of the stone was also compared to the biblical history of the Temple of Solomon and the rejected cornerstone described in Psalm 118.[4] The theoretical roots outlining the stone's creation can be traced to Greek philosophy. Alchemists later used the classical elements, the concept of anima mundi, and Creation stories presented in texts like Plato's Timaeus as analogies for their process.[5] According to Plato, the four elements are derived from a common source or prima materia (first matter), associated with chaos. Prima materia is also the name alchemists assign to the starting ingredient for the creation of the philosophers' stone. The importance of this philosophical first matter persisted throughout the history of alchemy. In the seventeenth century, Thomas Vaughan writes, "the first matter of the stone is the very same with the first matter of all things".[6] Middle Ages?[edit] Early medieval alchemists built upon the work of Zosimos in the Byzantine Empire and the Arab empires. Byzantine and Arab alchemists were fascinated by the concept of metal transmutation and attempted to carry out the process.[7] The 8th-century Muslim alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Latinized as Geber) analyzed each classical element in terms of the four basic qualities. Fire was both hot and dry, earth cold and dry, water cold and moist, and air hot and moist. He theorized that every metal was a combination of these four principles, two of them interior and two exterior. From this premise, it was reasoned that the transmutation of one metal into another could be affected by the rearrangement of its basic qualities. This change would be mediated by a substance, which came to be called xerion in Greek and al-iksir in Arabic (from which the word elixir is derived). It was often considered to exist as a dry red powder (also known as al-kibrit al-ahmar, red sulfur) made from a legendary stone—the philosophers' stone.[8][9] The elixir powder came to be regarded as a crucial component of transmutation by later Arab alchemists.[7] In the 11th century, there was a debate among Muslim world chemists on whether the transmutation of substances was possible. A leading opponent was the Persian polymath Avicenna (Ibn Sina), who discredited the theory of transmutation of substances, stating, "Those of the chemical craft know well that no change can be effected in the different species of substances, though they can produce the appearance of such change."[10] According to legend, the 13th-century scientist and philosopher Albertus Magnus is said to have discovered the philosophers' stone. Magnus does not confirm he discovered the stone in his writings, but he did record that he witnessed the creation of gold by "transmutation".[11] Renaissance to early modern period?[edit] The Squared Circle: an alchemical symbol (17th century) illustrating the interplay of the four elements of matter symbolising the philosophers' stone The English philosopher Sir Thomas Browne in his spiritual testament Religio Medici (1643) identified the religious aspect of the quest for the philosopher's Stone when declaring: The smattering I have of the Philosophers stone, (which is something more than the perfect exaltation of gold) hath taught me a great deale of Divinity. — (R.M.Part 1:38)[12] A mystical text published in the 17th century called the Mutus Liber appears to be a symbolic instruction manual for concocting a philosopher's stone. Called the "wordless book", it was a collection of 15 illustrations. In Buddhism and Hinduism?[edit] Main article: Cintamani The equivalent of the philosophers' stone in Buddhism and Hinduism is the Cintamani, also spelled as Chintamani.[13] It is also referred to[14] as Paras/Parasmani (Sanskrit: ???????, Hindi: ????) or Paris (Marathi: ????). In Mahayana Buddhism, Chintamani is held by the bodhisattvas, Avalokiteshvara and Ksitigarbha. It is also seen carried upon the back of the Lung ta (wind horse) which is depicted on Tibetan prayer flags. By reciting the Dharani of Chintamani, Buddhist tradition maintains that one attains the Wisdom of Buddhas, is able to understand the truth of the Buddhas, and turns afflictions into Bodhi. It is said to allow one to see the Holy Retinue of Amitabha and his assembly upon one's deathbed. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition the Chintamani is sometimes depicted as a luminous pearl and is in the possession of several of different forms of the Buddha.[15] Within Hinduism it is connected with the gods Vishnu and Ganesha. In Hindu tradition it is often depicted as a fabulous jewel in the possession of the Naga king or as on the forehead of the Makara.[citation needed] The Yoga Vasistha, originally written in the 10th century AD, contains a story about the philosophers' stone.[16] A great Hindu sage wrote about the spiritual accomplishment of Gnosis using the metaphor of the philosophers' stone. Saint Jnaneshwar (1275–1296) wrote a commentary with 17 references to the philosopher's stone that explicitly transmutes base metal into gold. The seventh century Siddhar Thirumoolar in his classic Tirumandhiram explains man's path to immortal divinity. In verse 2709 he declares that the name of God, Shiva is an alchemical vehicle that turns the body into immortal gold. Properties?[edit] The most commonly mentioned properties are the ability to transmute base metals into gold or silver, and the ability to heal all forms of illness and prolong the life of any person who consumes a small part of the philosopher's stone diluted in wine.[17] Other mentioned properties include: creation of perpetually burning lamps,[17] transmutation of common crystals into precious stones and diamonds,[17] reviving of dead plants,[17] creation of flexible or malleable glass,[18] or the creation of a clone or homunculus.[19] Names?[edit] Numerous synonyms were used to make oblique reference to the stone, such as "white stone" (calculus albus, identified with the calculus candidus of Revelation 2:17 which was taken as a symbol of the glory of heaven[20]), vitriol (as expressed in the backronym Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem), also lapis noster, lapis occultus, in water at the box, and numerous oblique, mystical or mythological references such as Adam, Aer, Animal, Alkahest, Antidotus, Antimonium, Aqua benedicta, Aqua volans per aeram, Arcanum, Atramentum, Autumnus, Basilicus, Brutorum cor, Bufo, Capillus, Capistrum auri, Carbones, Cerberus, Chaos, Cinis cineris, Crocus, Dominus philosophorum, Divine quintessence, Draco elixir, Filius ignis, Fimus, Folium, Frater, Granum, Granum frumenti, Haematites, Hepar, Herba, Herbalis, Lac, Melancholia, Ovum philosophorum, Panacea salutifera, Pandora, Phoenix, Philosophic mercury, Pyrites, Radices arboris solares, Regina, Rex regum, Sal metallorum, Salvator terrenus, Talcum, Thesaurus, Ventus hermetis.[21] Many of the medieval allegories for a Christ were adopted for the lapis, and the Christ and the Stone were indeed taken as identical in a mystical sense. The name of "Stone" or lapis itself is informed by early Christian allegory, such as Priscillian (4th century), who stated, Unicornis est Deus, nobis petra Christus, nobis lapis angularis Jesus, nobis hominum homo Christus (One-horned is God, Christ the rock to us, Jesus the cornerstone to us, Christ the man of men to us.)[22] In some texts it is simply called 'stone', or our stone, or in the case of Thomas Norton's Ordinal, "oure delycious stone".[23] The stone was frequently praised and referred to in such terms. It needs to be noted that philosophorum does not mean "of the philosopher" or "the philosopher's" in the sense of a single philosopher. It means "of the philosophers" in the sense of a plurality of philosophers. Appearance?[edit] Philosopher's stone as pictured in Atalanta Fugiens Emblem 21 The first key of Basil Valentine, emblem associated with the 'Great Work' of obtaining the Philosopher's stone (Twelve Keys of Basil Valentine). Alchemical authors sometimes suggest that the stone's descriptors are metaphorical.[29] The appearance is expressed geometrically in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens. "Make of a man and woman a circle; then a quadrangle; out of this a triangle; make again a circle, and you will have the Stone of the Wise. Thus is made the stone, which thou canst not discover, unless you, through diligence, learn to understand this geometrical teaching."[30] Rupescissa uses the imagery of the Christian passion, telling us it ascends "from the sepulcher of the Most Excellent King, shining and glorious, resuscitated from the dead and wearing a red diadem...".[31] Interpretations?[edit] The various names and attributes assigned to the philosophers' stone has led to long-standing speculation on its composition and source. Exoteric candidates have been found in metals, plants, rocks, chemical compounds, and bodily products such as hair, urine, and eggs. Justus von Liebig states that 'it was indispensable that every substance accessible... should be observed and examined'.[32] Alchemists once thought a key component in the creation of the stone was a mythical element named carmot.[33][34] Esoteric hermetic alchemists may reject work on exoteric substances, instead directing their search for the philosopher's stone inward.[35] Though esoteric and exoteric approaches are sometimes mixed, it is clear that some authors "are not concerned with material substances but are employing the language of exoteric alchemy for the sole purpose of expressing theological, philosophical, or mystical beliefs and aspirations".[36] New interpretations continue to be developed around spagyric, chemical, and esoteric schools of thought. The transmutation mediated by the stone has also been interpreted as a psychological process. Idries Shah devotes a chapter of his book The Sufis to providing a detailed analysis of the symbolic significance of alchemical work with the philosopher's stone. His analysis is based in part on a linguistic interpretation through Arabic equivalents of one of the terms for the stone (Azoth) as well as for sulfur, salt and mercury.[37] Creation?[edit] Main article: Magnum opus (alchemy) The philosophers' stone is created by the alchemical method known as The Magnum Opus or The Great Work. Often expressed as a series of color changes or chemical processes, the instructions for creating the philosopher's stone are varied. When expressed in colors, the work may pass through phases of nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, and rubedo. When expressed as a series of chemical processes it often includes seven or twelve stages concluding in multiplication, and projection.

THE CITY OF REVELATION John Michell 1972 Gnostic Numbers Page 118 "Exactly how they came by their science of numbers is not certain, but they appear to have made the discovery that the numerical code of the Hebrew cabala and those of other mystical systems throughout the world were all degenerate versions of the same once universal system of knowledge that returns within the reach of human perception at certain intervals in time. As the revealed books of the Old Testament were written in a code to be interpreted by reference to number, so were the revelations of the gnostic prophets expressed in words and phrases formed on a system of proportion, which gave life and power to the Christian myth, while allowing initiates to gain a further understanding of the balance of forces that produce the world of phenomena." Page 121 / How it was ever supposed that the Hebrew alphabet of twenty- two letters, together with various geometrical symbols might serve to represent the entire moving pattern of the universe is not now easy to understand; but, since all ancient philosophy, religion, magic, the arts and sciences were based on the concept of a correspondence between numbers and cosmic law, it is impossible to appreciate the history of the past without some actual experience of the fundamental truth behind this approach to cosmology. Plato gives a remarkable account in Cratylos of the origin of language and letters. The philo-sopher is asked whether there is any particular significance in names, for surely they are simply a matter of convention and one is more or less as good as another. After all, foreigners call things by different names and appear to manage just as well as the Greeks in this respect. The answer given is that despite appearances the matter is by no means so simple. Words are the tools of expression, and the making of these, as of any other tools, is the task of a skilled craftsman, in this case the lawgiver. Language has grown corrupt over the ages, and names have deviated from their original perfect forms, which are those used by the gods. But all names were originally formed on certain principles, through knowledge of which it is possible to dis- cover the archetypal meaning of words in current use. 'So perhaps the man who knows about names considers their value and is not confused if some letter is added, transposed or subtracted, or even if the force of the name is expressed in quite different letters.' This is Plato's clearest reference to the mystical science of the cabala, in which letters, words and whole phrases may be substituted for others of the same numerical value. The force of a name is to be found in its number, and can be expressed through any combination of letters,. provided the sum of the letters amounts to the appropriate number by gematria.
INTO THE SPIRAL Charles Ashton 1992 Page 120 "What door?" Ormand demanded in a shaky voice. "Why, this door ," the voice grated. And they saw the plain wooden boards of a door where the tunnel wall had been. "Where does it go?" Lissie whispered. "Why, it says here on the door, child. Can't you read it?" "There's nothing there," said Lissie, staring at the door. "Look," the lantern bearer rasped, with a black, hollow grin. "It's written on the door. A - M - A-" the bony finger moved across the plain wood of the door as the dry mouth spelled out letters - " Z - E - M - E - N - T. What does that say?" "I don't know," Lissie replied. "It says Amazement!" the ancient mouth roared, as the door burst open in another shower of earth. "IT SAYS AMAZEMENT!" The empty doorway seemed to do a cartwheel towards them. "It says Amazement!" came a third time, muffled now and echoing and mixed with the slamming sound of wood on wood on the "maze" sound. Lissie and Ormand stood alone in a squared corridor of rock, beside a flickering torch fixed into a bracket on the wall." Page123 9 "INTO THE SPIRAL" EXTENDED SIMILIES Jenny Joseph 1997 Page 157 "There was the thread, the thread you see, and she followed it. Curdie, no that was a boy, Curdie and the thread, the good boy, he got her through. Or there was a fall of rock and it was buried, she had to scrabble with her hands and they never got them out those people trapped underneath when the earthquake collapsed the buildings. I can remember the man with his bare hands, they were bare, raw, that's it, skinned - but it must have been a pic-ture of course. But the thread was there, sometimes - he was losing it, losing his thought. Yes, that was the way the thread went, it came and went, elu-sive as thought - now it flashed into focus, now he had it, him sitting reading to his little girl - but he can't have had that book as a child, he hadn't had that sort of childhood. Thinking about the thread, the idea, myth of the thread was a good way to get you applying yourself, persisting, and he had, hadn't he, he'd gone on searching with his dog in the rubble long after the others had given up. So that thinking, which he'd thought he'd come to as a solid thing like chipping away shale and muck to get at a bit, of core, a thing like a lump of coal, usable, source of energy, so that it didn't matter what you thought, it was a rope ladder to get you across somewhere, get you through the mess, something you pretended, no, not pretended - made up? - to be doing to give a reason for going on. Made up. Ah perhaps something you made, engineered, he'd like it when they called him Monsieur l'lngenieur, ingenious. Not for a reason - you don't need a reason for going on, you need a road, a way, ah yes a means. A way of going. That was tautology. You could just say 'a way'. 'Tell Alice' (you think I don't know she's dead, he heard his crafty thought within his head and in the same flash behaved as if he didn't), 'keep her fingers on the golden thread.' If it's all a fancy, if there isn't something that's true, then there isn't untrue and you were back where you were. He was getting there, getting down that path and this time he would get there, he could still breathe he could still tell them even though they couldn't move the rock off him. If there isn't anything that's true, the opposite of true was false. But it couldn't be false because you can't have an opposite to some-thing that doesn't exist. Though what about negative numbers? Page168 Alice was cleverer than he was he should have asked her. But she could never explain things like he could but after all he'd been a teacher. So if no true, no false and nothing true means everything false. Yes, he'd got it. 'Useful,' he said. They bent low pretending they could hear to encourage him to speak some more. Useful. It was all useful. Alice's knitting had been useful. The thread and the rope ladder and the bridge were useful. Useful was much more useful than true. If he had realised that it was his son who was holding his hand he might have tried to speak in his type of hearty old reprobate he'd put on for years for young people and said something in character like 'Bugger the truth' because he knew they thought he thought truth was the pearl so he had it both ways. They would have been his next, last words but he kept his secret from them till the end because he had got beyond the division of time that living beings need in order to negotiate it, to a point where command question statement implying continuing into a future from the past were neither true, false or useful."
THE SIRIUS CONNECTION Murray Hope 1996 Origins and Anomalies Page 18 "With reference to the sun's different rising and setting points, this can now be substantiated in the works of such experts as Professor Charles Hapgood, John Ivimy, Jeffrey Goodman, Richard Mooney, and other scholars of repute. The fact that the / Page 19 / poles and equator have changed position in epochs past is common knowledge among those specialising in the disciplines concerned. There is also evidence to suggest that at some point during the Age of Cancer we acquired the extra five days known as epagomenal, the Earth having previously taken only 360 days to complete its annual cycle. Mooney offers the following information: The Reverend Bowles, a nineteenth-century archaeologist and authority on megalithic monuments in Britain, says that the circles of Avebury represent a calendar of 360 days, and that an extra five days were added later. In all the ancient classical writings of the Hindu Aryans, there is a year of 360 days. The Aryabhatiya, the ancient Indian mathematical and astronomical work, says: ' A year consists of 12 months. A month consists of 30 days. A day consists of 60 nadis. A nadi consists of 60 vinadikas.' The ancient Babylonian year was of 12 months of 30 days each. The Babylonian zodiac was divided into 36 decans, this being the space the sun covered in relation to the fixed stars during a 10-day period. Thus the 36 decans require a year of only 360 days. Ctesias wrote that the walls of Babylon were 360 furlongs in circumference, 'as many as there are days in the year.' The Egyptian year was originally 12 months of 30 days each, according to the Ebers papyrus. A tablet discovered at Tanis in the Nile Delta in 1866 reveals that in the ninth year of Ptolemy Euergetes (237 BC), the priests of Canopus decreed that as it was 'necessary to harmonise the calendar according to the present arrangement of the world.' One day was ordered to be added every four years to the 360 days, and to the five days which were afterwards ordered to be added. The ancient Romans also had a year of 360 days. Plutarch, in his life of Numa, wrote that in the time of Romulus the year was made up of twelve 30-day months. The Mayan year was of 360 days, called a tun. Five days were later added, and an extra day every fourth year. The Mayans computed the synodal period of the moon as 29.5209 days, as accurately as we can calculate today with our sophisticated equipment. Their degree of accuracy would surely not have been less when they computed the 360-day year. 'They did reckon them apart, and called them the days of nothing; during which the people did not anything,' wrote J.de Acosta, an early writer on America. The Mexicans at the time of the Spanish conquest called each 30- day period a moon. / Page20 / The Incan year was divided into 12 quilla, or moons of 30 days. Five days were added at the end, and an extra day for every four years. The extra days were regarded as unlucky, or fateful. The ancient Chinese calendar was a 12-month year of 30 days each. They added 5 1/4 days to the year, and also divided the sphere into 365 1/4 days, adopting the new length of the year into geometry as well. The aforegoing has usually been explained away by scholars as representing errors that were latterly refined as mathematical knowledge increased. One is tempted to ask, however, why so many different cultures, from different parts of the world, would have simultaneously committed the same error. We have heard of the Law of Synchronicity, but surely this tends to stretch coincidence a little too far! An alteration in the Earth's orbit changing its proximity to the sun would, however, account for the difference in the length ot the year. And if the Earth had been jolted out of its former position, the moon would also have been affected. As Mooney puts it: Since the moon is a smaller body than Earth, and the distances between them much smaller than between the Earth and the sun, the differences would have been even more noticeable in the case of the Earth/moon system than in the case of the Earth/sun system. This would appear to have been the case. In several ancient sources it has been found that there were four 9-day weeks to each lunar month, making a month of 36 days. This 9-day phase has been found in ancient Greek, Babylonian, Chinese and Roman sources, among others. As these lunar computations did not fit with a year of 360 days~ the calendars were altered to a 10-month year. This was an attempt to regulate the 'new' year to fit the 'old' 360-day year!9 The ancient Celts, who were decidedly lunar orientated, ascribed magical powers to the number 9, associating it with the three aspects of the Triple Goddess - Maiden, Mother and Crone. Presuming legend to be the embodiment of past deeds, no- where is the advent of the epagomenal days better described, albeit allegorically, that in the Egyptian myth of the birth of the five great gods, or Neters, of ancient Egypt. Shu and Tefnut, the Twin Lion gods of Time, were the children of the Solar Lord Ra (seen in this context, I feel, as the binary star Sirius rather than our own sun). They, in turn, gave birth to Geb and Nut (the Earth and the sky). But Nut, who was also believed to have been the / Page 21 /spouse of Ra, offended her husband by cohabiting with her brother. Enraged by his wife's infidelity, Ra swore that she should not be delivered of a child on any of the 360 days of his year, which might have caused her considerable difficulty had not Thoth, god of science and mathematics, Keeper of the Akashic Records, divine Advocate and Lord of Time, played his famous game of draughts with the moon, from which he won one seventy-second part of her light (1/72 of 360 is exactly 5!) which he made into five new days called 'epagomenal'. Nut was then able to give birth to the five children she had been carrying - Osiris, Horus the Elder, Set, Isis and Nephthys, in that order. The legend is also reiterated in the Greek myth of Cronus (Time) swallowing five of his own children and disgorging them after taking a potion administered to him by Metis Justice!). Although various magical and mystical interpretations have been placed upon these stories by scholars, metaphysicists and romantics, what the myths are bascally telling us is that as a result of some drama played out between the Earth, the moon and some solar energy external to our star system, the calendar had to be changed, and that it was Thoth, a lunar deity, who effected the alteration. In other words, a change in the Earth's orbit involving the moon, which precipitated a change in the Earth's axis, was responsible for the five extra days we now have in our calendars, and since, as the ancient Egyptians have been most careful to tell us, the five epagomenal Neters have strong connections with Sirius, we may presume that a bright blue-white star in the constellation of Canis Major was the third, and probably most influential, player in this celestial drama." �

THE ELEMENTS OF THE GODDESS Caitlin Williams 1989 Page 38 LIGHT The triplicities and ninefold permutations derived from these aspects are far more subtle than arbitrary divisions of the Goddess into triple moon-phases, or as reflections of the female life cycle-Maiden / Page 37 (Fig 6 and 7 omitted / Page38 / Mother and Crone. It is not that such definitions are invalid so much as that each of the triple-aspects of the Goddess contains elements of the ennead. This ennead of aspects is endlessly adaptable for it is made up of nine, the most adjustable and yet essentially unchanging number. However one chooses to add up multiples of nine, for example 54, 72, 108, they always add up to nine.
THE NUMBER 9
JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS ThomasMann 1875 - 1955 JOSEPH THE PROVIDER Page 954 "...You excite yourself, Meni, and it is not good for Your Majesty's health. You should rest, after the interpretation and all this exchange of views, and take a little time from the time that is given you, to let your decisions ripen, not only concerning measures against what may come, but also about the very serious proposal to change your name, which you seem to be considering; while at the same time you are thinking about a proper reward for this soothsayer. Do go and rest!" But the King was unwilling. "Mama," he cried, "I do beg you most ardently not to ask that of me, just in the middle of such a promising train! I assure you, My Majesty is perfectly well and feels no trace of fatigue. I am so excited that I feel well, and so well that I feel ex- cited. You talk just like the nurses in my childhood; when I felt my liveliest, then they said: 'You are overtired, Lord of the Two Lands, you must go to bed.' It could only make me savage, I could have kicked with rage. Now I am grown, and I thank you most respectfully for your care of me. But I have the distinct, feeling that this present audience can lead to further good and that my decisions can better ripen here than in my bed, and in talk with this skilled soothsayer, to whom I am grateful, if for no other reason, for giving me the oppor-Page 955 / tunity to speak of my intention to take a real name, which contains the name of the unique one, namely Ikhnaton, that my name may be pleasing to my Father. Everything should be called after him and not after Amun; and if the Lady of the Two Lands, who fills the palace with sweetness, the sweet Titi, is soon brought to bed, then the royal infant, whether prince or princess, shall be called Merytaton, that it may be loved by him who is love. No matter if I draw down on my head the anger of the mighty one of Karnak, who will come and make representations and harangue me with threats of the anger of the Ram! Him I can endure - all I can endure for the sake of my love to my Father above." "Pharaoh," said the mother, "you forget that we are not alone. Matters which need to be dealt with in wisdom and moderation are probably best not discussed in the hearing of a soothsayer from the people." "Let that be, Mama," replied Amenhotep. "He is in the way of noble lineage, that he has himself given us to understand - the son of a rogue and a lovely one, which is definitely attractive to me; while that he says he was even as a child called the lamb, that also indicates a certain refinement. Children of the lower classes are not given such nicknames. And besides, I get the impression that he is able to under-stand much, and give answers to much. Above and beyond all this, he loves me and is ready to help me, as he has done already in inter-preting the dreams and also by reason of his original view that one should call oneself according to one's own circumstances and feelings. It would all be very fine, if I liked a little better the name by which he chooses to be known. . . . I would not wish to be unfriendly or distress you," he turned to Joseph, "but the kind of name you have taken pains me: Osarsiph, that is a name of the dead, as when we call the dead bull Osar-Hapi; it bears the name of the dead lord, Usir, the frightful, on the judge's throne and with the scale, who is only just but without mercy, and before whose tribunal the terrified soul trem-bles and shakes. This old creed has nothing in it but fear, it is dead itself, it is an Osar-creed, and my Father's son believes not in it." "Pharaoh," the mother's voice came again, "I must once more ap-peal to you and warn you to be cautious and I need not hesitate to do so in the presence of this foreign interpreter, since you grant him such extended audience and take as a sign of his higher origins his mere assertion that as a child he was called the lamb. So he may hear that I warn you to be wise and moderate. It is enough that you go about to decrease the power of Amun and set yourself against his uni-versal rule, in that wherever possible you take from him step by step the unity with Re the horizon-dweller, who is the Aton. Even to do this takes all the shrewdness and policy in the world, and a cool head besides, for heated rashness comes of evil. But let Your Majesty be./ Page 956 / ware of laying hands on the people's belief in Usir, King of the lower regions, to which it clings more obstinately than to any other deity, because all are equal before him, and each one hopes to go in unto him with his name. Bear in mind the prejudice of the many, for what you give to Aton by diminishing Amun, you take away again by offending Usir." "Ah, I assure you, Mama, the people only imagine that they cling so to Usir," cried Amenhotep. "How could it really cling to a belief that the soul which goes up to the judge's seat must pass through seven times seven regions of terror, inhabited by demons who cross- examine it as it passes in some three hundred and sixty several magic formulas, each harder to remember than the last, yet the poor soul must have them all by heart and be able to repeat each one in the right place, otherwise it does not pass and will be devoured before ever it reaches the judgment seat. And if it does get there, it has every prospect of being devoured if its heart weighs too light in the scale; for then it is delivered over to the monstrous dog of Amente. I ask you, where is there anything in all that to cling to? - it is against all the love and goodness of my Father above. Before Usir of the lower regions all are equal - yes, equal in terror. Whereas before my Father all shall be equal in joy. With Amun and Aton it is the same. Amun too, with the help of Re, will be universal and will unite the world in worship of him. There they are of one mind. But Amun would make the world- one in the rigid service of fear, a false and sinister unity, which my Father would not, for he would unite his children in joy and tenderness." "Meni," said the mother again, in her low voice, "it would be better for you to spare yourself and not speak so much of joy and tenderness. You know from experience that the words are dangerous to you and put you beside yourself." "I am speaking, Mama, of belief and unbelief," answered Amenhotep; once more he worked himself out of the cushions and stood on his feet. "Of these I speak, and my own good mind tells me that disbelief is almost more important than belief. In belief there must be a sizable element of disbelief; for how can a man believe what is true so long as he also believes what is false? If I want to teach the people what is true, I must first take from them certain beliefs to which they, cling. Perhaps that is cruel, but it is the cruelty of love, and my Father in the sky will forgive me. Yes, which is more glorious, belief or disbelief, and which should come before the other? Believing is a great rapture for the soul. But not believing is almost more joyous than belief - I have found it so, My Majesty has experienced it, and I do not believe in the realms of fear and the demons and Usiri with his frightfully named ones and the devourer down there below."
ThomasMann 1875 - 1955 8 x 9 ISISIS 72 Page 890 "The first steps toward the goal of overturning the dynasty, bringing in a new time and elevating the nameless near-favourite to the rank of goddess-mother had been successfully taken. The plot was hatched in Pharaoh's house of women; but through certain officials of the harem and certain officers of the guard who had been eager for new things, connections had been established, on the one hand with the palace itself, where a number of friends, some of them highly placed - a head charioteer of the god, the chief of gens-d'armes, the steward of the fruit stores, the overseer of the King's herds of oxen, the head keeper of the King's ointments, and certain others - were won over for the enterprise; and on the other hand they got in touch with the outer world of the residential city, where through the officers' wives the male kindred of Pharaoh's graces were drawn in and engaged to stir up Wese's population with evil talk against the old Re, who by now was nothing at all but gold and silver and lapis lazuli. In all there were two-and-seventy conspirators privy to the plot. It was a proper and a pregnant number, for there had been just seventy-two when red Set lured Usir into the chest. And these seventy- two in their turn had had good cosmic ground to be no more and no less than that number. For it is just that number of groups of five weeks which make up the three hundred and sixty days of the year, not counting the odd days; and there are just seventy-two days in the dry fifth of the year, when the gauge shows that the Nourisher has reached his lowest ebb, and the god sinks into his grave. So where there is conspiracy anywhere in the world it is requisite and customary for the number of conspirators to be seventy-two. And if the plot fail, the failure shows that if this number had not been adhered to it would have failed even worse."

IN SEARCH OF SCHRODINGER'S CAT John Gribbin 1984 Page 77 "With the elements arranged in a periodic table, even in 1922 there were a few gaps, corresponding to un-discovered elements with atomic numbers 43, 61, 72, 75, 85 and 87. Bohr's model predicted the detailed properties of these "missing" elements and suggested that element 72, in particular, should have properties similar to zirconium, a forecast that contradicted predictions made on the basis of alternative models of the atom. The prediction was con- finned within a year with the discovery of hafnium, ele-ment 72, which turned out to have spectral properties exactly in line with those predicted by Bohr. This was the high point of the old quantum theory. Within three years, it had been swept away, although as far as chemistry is concerned you need little more than the idea of electrons as tiny particles orbiting around atomic nuclei in shells that would "like" to be full (or empty, but preferably not in between). * And if you are interested in the physics of gases, you need little more than the image of atoms as hard, indestructible billiard balls. Nineteenth- century physics will do for everyday purposes; the physics of 1923 will do for most of chemistry; and the physics of the 1930s takes us about as far as anyone has yet gone in the search for ultimate truths. There has been no great break- through comparable to the quantum revolution for fifty years, and in all that time the rest of science has been catching up with the insights of a handful of geniuses. The success of the Aspect experiment in Paris in the early 1980s marked the end of that catching-up period, with the 'I am, of course, exaggerating the simplicity of chemistry here. The "little more" that is needed to explain more complex molecules was developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s. using the fruits of the full development of quan- tum mechanics. The person who did most of the work was Linus Pauling, more familiar today as a peace campaigner and proponent of vitamin C, who received the first of his two Nobel Prizes for the work, being cited in 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application 10 the elucidation of the structure df complex substances." Those "complex sub- stances" elucidated with the aid of quantum theory by Pauling, a physical chemist, opened the way to a study of the molecules of life. The key signifi-cance of quantum chemistry to molecular biology is acknowledged by Horace Judson in his epic book The Eighth Day of Creation; the detailed story, alas, is beyond the scope of the present book. Page 77 Bohr's model predicted the detailed properties of these "missing" elements and suggested that element 72, in particular, should have properties similar to zirconium, a forecast that contradicted predictions made on the basis of alternative models of the atom.

To this is frequently added 36, making 108, and it is permissible to multiply 108 by 100 to get 10,800 or to divide it by 2 to get 54, which may then be multiplied by 10 and expressed as 540 (or as 54,000, or as 540,000, or as 5,400,000, and so on).

With this secret knowledge, if we wanted to fix a specific date - say 1008 years in the future - and communicate it to other initiates, then we could do so with the 'special number' 14( 72 x 14= 1008).
RE MEMBERING OSIRIS Tom Hare 1999 Page17 "There is, in fact, a striking omission from most Egyptian accounts of the story: the murder itself. The Pyramid Text reference to Osiris having been "laid low" is hardly specified in more detail until Plutarch. As he tells the tale, Setekh has woven a fine deceit in revenge for an adulterous (although apparently mistaken) encounter between Osiris and his own wife, Nephthys. Having designed a beautiful coffin, Setekh brings it to a banquet and offers it to whoever might lie in it and find it a match to his own dimensions. He has, of course, built it expressly for Osiris. After many of the other banqueters have tried the coffin, Osiris falls for the trick and lies down in it himself. Setekh and some 72 accomplices immediately fall upon him, nail the coffin shut, and seal it with lead. They carry the coffin to the Nile and set it adrift. It eventually floats down the Tanite branch in the delta out into the Mediterranean and along the coast of Palestine as far as Byblos. Isis, in a frenzy of grief, sets out to search for the coffin, eventually finding it in the royal palace at Byblos. She brings it back to Egypt with the aid of ruses and magical feats ingeniously unfolded in the Greek narrative. When she has returned to her son Horus in Buto (Arab. Tell el-Fara 'in), she hides the body in an out-of-the-way place. Setekh manages all the same to find it. He chops it in fourteen pieces and scatters them through- out Egypt. Isis manages to retrieve them all, except for the phallus, which falls into the Nile where it is devoured by fish. ISISIS 1008
KEEPER OF GENESIS RobertBauval Graham Hancock 1996 A QUEST FOR THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF MANKIND Page 247 Special numbers "We suspect that the phrase to 'go down to any sky' suggests an awareness - and recording - of precessionally induced changes in the positions of the stars over long periods of time. And we also note its implication that if the chosen initiate was equipped with the correct numerical spell then he would be able to work out - and visualize - the correct positions of the stars in any epoch of his choosing, past or future. Once again Sellers stands out amongst Egyptologists for being the first to have entertained such apparently outlandish notions. 'It is possible', she writes, 'that early man encoded in his myths special numbers; numbers that seemed to reveal to initiates an amazing knowledge of the movement of the celestial spheres.' 27 Such numbers, she argues, appear to have been derived from a sustained, scientific study of the cycle of precession and a measure- ment of its rate and, puzzlingly, turn out to be extremely 'close to the calculations made with today's sophisticated procedures'. Intrigu- ingly, too, there is evidence not only 'that these calculations were made, and conclusions drawn', but also that 'they were transmitted to others by secret encoding that was accessible only to an elite few':28 In short, Sellers concludes, 'ancient man calculated a special number that he believed would bring this threatening cycle [of precession] back to its starting point. . .'29 The 'special number' to which Sellers is referring to is 25,920 (and multiples and divisions of it) and thus represents the duration, in solar years, of a full precessional cycle or 'Great Year,.30 She shows how it can be derived from a variety of simple combinations of other numbers - 5,12, 36, 72,360, 432, 2100, etc., etc. -all of which are in turn derived from precise observations of precession. M(Jst crucially of all, she shows that this peculiar sequence of numbers occurs in the ancient Egyptian myth of Osiris where, notably '72 consipirators' are said to have been involved with Seth in the murder of the God-King: As was shown in Fingerprints of the Gods, the sun's perceived motion through the signs of the zodiac at the vernal equinox proceeds at the rate of one degree every seventy-two years. From this it follows that a movement of the vernal point through 30 degrees will take 2160 / Page 248 / years to complete, 60 degrees will take 4320 years, and a full 360-degree cycle will require 25,920 years!2 Curiously enough, as the reader will recall from Part I, the Great Pyramid itself incorporates a record of these precessional numbers - since its key dimensions (its height and the perimeter of its base) appear to have been designed as a mathematical model of the earth's polar radius and equatorial circumference on a scale of 1 :43,200. The number 43,200 is, of course, exactly 600 times 72. What we have in this remarkable monument, therefore, is not just a scale model of a hemisphere of the earth but also one in which the scale involved incorporates a 'special number' derived from one of the key planetary motions of the earth itself - i.e. the rate of its axial precession. In short it seems that secret knowledge is indeed available in the myth of Osiris and in the dimensions of the Great Pyramid. With this secret knowledge, if we wanted to fix a specific date - say 1008 years in the future - and communicate it to other initiates, then we could do so with the 'special number' 14( 72 x 14= 1008). We would also have to specify the 'zero point' from which they were to make their calculations - i.e the present epoch - and this might be done with some kind of symbolic or mathematical marker to indicate where the vernal point presently is, i.e. moving out of Pisces and into Aquarius. A similar exercise could likewise be carried out in reverse. By following the 'eastwards' direction along the ecliptic path we can 'find' (calculate, work out) where the vernal point was at any epoch in the past. Thus if today we wished to use the precessional code to direct attention towards the Pyramid Age we would need to confide to other initiates the 'special number' of 62.5 (72 x 62.5 = 4500 years ago = approximately 2500 BC). Again, we could rule out any ambiguity as to the zero date from which the calculations were to be made if we could find a way to indicate the present position of the vernal point. We have seen that this is what Sneferu appears to have done with the two Pyramids at Dahshur, which map the two sides of the head of the celestial bull- the 'address' of the vernal point in his epoch. And in a sense, though with a great deal more specificity and precision, this could also be exactly what the builders of the Great Pyramid were doing when they deliberately targeted the southern shafts of the King's and Queen's Chambers on the meridian-transits of such / Page249 / significant stars as Orion and Sirius in the epoch of 2500 BC. To be clear about this, it seems to us well worth investigating the possibility that by setting up such obvious and precise 'time markers' they were trying to provide an unambiguous zero point - circa 2500 BC - for calculations that could only be undertaken by initiates steeped in the mysteries of precession, who were equipped by their training to draw out the hidden portents concealed in certain 'special numbers'. We note in passing that if the Horus-King could have been provided with the 'special number' 111. 111, and had used it in the way described above, it would have led him back to (72 x 111. 111 years =) 7,999.99 years before the specified 'ground zero', i.e. to almost exactly 8000 before before 2500 BC - in short, to 10,500 BC. We know this seems like wishful numerology of the worst sort-i.e. 'factoring in' an arbitrary value to a set of calculations so as to procure spurious 'corroboration' for a specific desired date (in this case the date of I 0,500 DC, twelve and a half thousand years before the present, that we have already highlighted in Chapter 3 in connection with the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza). The problem, however, is that the number 111.111 may well not be an arbitrary value. At any rate, it has long been recognized that the main numerical factor in the design of the Great Pyramid, and indeed of the Giza necropolis as a whole, is the prime number 11 - a prime number being one that is only divisible by itself to produce the whole number1. Thus 11 divided by 11, i.e. the ratio 11:11, produces the whole number 1 (while 11 divided by anything else, i.e. any other ratio, would, of neccessity, generate a fraction). What is intriguing is the way that the architecture of the Great Pyramid responds to the number 11 when it is divided, or multiplied, by other whole numbers."
Fingerprints Of The Gods Graham Hancock 1998 Why a mathematical language? Page 197 "...Perhaps because, no matter what extreme changes and transforma-tions human civilization might go through, the radius of a circle multiplied by 2pi (or half the radius multiplied by 4pi) would always give the correct figure for that circle's circumference. In other words, a mathematical language could have been chosen for practical reasons: unlike any verbal tongue, such a code could always be deciphered, even by people from unrelated cultures living thousands of years in the future."

Some 200 years later, Aristarchus was to put forward a true theory of the Earth's motion about the Sun; but even then there was not enough observation to make it seem true. Without good instruments and detailed measurings, it was more readily seen that the Sun and stars did go round; and again, there was the natural feeling that Man was necessarily the middle of things."

THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS Louis Pauwels and Jaques Bergier 1960 Page 226 "Moufang and Stevens, in a work entitled The: Mystery of Dreams have cited a number of cases, which have been carefully checked, in which dreams revealed future events and led to important scientific discoveries. The celebrated atomic scientist, Niels Bohr, when he was a student, had a strange dream. He saw himself on a Sun consisting of burning gas. Planets whizzed by, whistling as they passed. They were attached to the Sun by thin filaments, and revolved round it. Suddenly the gas solidified and the Sun and planets crumbled away. Niels Bohr then woke up and realized that he had just discovered the model of the atom, so long sought after. The 'Sun' was the fixed centre round which the electrons revolve. The whole of. modem atomic physics and its applications have come out of this dream. The chemist Auguste Kekule tells the following story: 'One summer's evening I was on the platform of my bus, on my way home, and went to sleep. I saw clearly and distinctly how, on every side, the atoms united in couples which were then merged in larger groups which, in their turn, were attracted by others still more powerful; and all these corpuscles were spinning round in a frenzied dance. I spent part of that night transcribing what I had seen in my dream. I had hit upon the theory of atomic structure.' Mter reading in the newspapers accounts of the bombardment of London, an engineer of the American Bell telephone company had a dream one night in the Autumn of 1940 in which he saw himself drawing the plan of an apparatus which would enable an anti-aircraft gun to be aimed at the exact spot where an aeroplane whose speed and trajectory were known, would pass. On awakening he traced the blueprint 'from memory'. A study of this apparatus, which was to use radar for the first time, was undertaken by the eminent scientist Norbert Wiener, and Wiener's report on this machine resulted in the birth of cybernetics. 'One certainly ought not to underestimate,' wrote Lovecraft (in Beyond the Walls of Sleep) 'the gigantic importance of dreams.' "

The English translations of this Greek philosopher's gigantic output are his Elements of Theology1 (which is not relevant to what we are to consider here), his Commentary on Euclid,2 his Commentary on the First Alcibiades of Plato,3 and one partial and one complete translation of his Commentary on the Parmenides of Plato4"�
EMPEROR'S NEW MIND CONCERNING COMPUTERS.MINDS, AND THE LAWS OF PHYSICS Roger Penrose 1990 QUANTUM MAGIC AND QUANTUM MYSTERY Page 381 position do not apply to consciousness! A rough mathematical model for such a viewpoint was put forward by EugeqeP . Wigner (1961). He suggested that the linearity of Schrodinger's equation might fail for conscious (or merely 'living') entities, and be replaced by some non-linear procedure, according to which either one or the other alternative would be resolved out. It might seem to the reader that, since I am searching for some kind of role for quantum phenomena in our conscious thinking - as indeed I am- I should find this view to be a sympathetic possibility. However, I am not at all happy with it. It seems to lead to a very lopsided and disturbing view of the reality of the world. Those corners of the universe where consciousness resides may be rather few and far between. On this view, only in those corners would the complex. quantum linear superpositions be resolved into actual alterna- tives. It may be that to us, such other corners would look the same as the rest of the universe, since whatever we, ourselves, actually look at (or otherwise observe) would, by our very acts of con- scious observation, get 'resolved into alternatives', whether or not it had done so before. Be that as it may, this gross lopsidedness would provide a very disturbing picture of the actuality of the world, and I, for one, would accept it only with great reluctance. There is a somewhat related viewpoint, called the participatory universe (suggested by John A. Wheeler 1983), which takes the role of consciousness to a (different) extreme. We note, for example, that the evolution of conscious life on this planet is due to appropriate mutations having taken place at various times. These, presumably, are quantum events, so they would exist only in linearly superposed form until they finally led to the evolution of a conscious being - whose very existence depends upon all the right mutations having 'actually' taken place! It is our own presence which, on this view, conjures our past into existence. The circularity and paradox involved in this picture has an appeal for some, but for myself I find it distinctly worrisome - and, indeed, barely credible. Another viewpoint, also logical in its way, but providing a picture no less strange, is that of many worlds, first publicly put forward by Hugh Everett III (1957). According to the many- worlds interpretation, R never takes place at all. The entire Page 381 THE EMPEROR'S NEW MIND evolution of the state-vector - which is regarded realistically - is always governed by the deterministic procedure U. This implies that poor Schrodinger's cat, together with the protected observer inside the container, must indeed exist in some complex linear combination, with the cat in some superposition of life and death. However the dead state is correlated with one state of the inside observer's consciousness, and the live one, with another (and presumably, partly, with the consciousness of the cat - and, eventually, with the outside observer's also, when the contents become revealed to him). The consciousness of each observer is regarded as 'splitting', so he now exists twice over, each of his instances having a different experience (i.e. one seeing a dead cat and the other a live one). Indeed, not just an observer, but the entire universe that he inhabits splits in two (or more) at each 'measurement' that he makes of the world. Such splitting occurs again and again - not merely because of 'measurements' made by observers, but because of the macroscopic magnification of quan- tum events generally - so that these universe 'branches' proliferate wildly. Indeed, every alternative possibility would coexist in some vast superposition. This is hardly the most economical of view- points, but my own objections to it do not spring from its lack of economy. In particular, I do not see why a conscious being need be aware of only 'one' of the alternatives in a linear superposition. What is it about consciousness that demands that one cannot be 'aware' of that tantalizing linear combination of a dead and a live cat? It seems to me that a theory of consciousness would be needed before the many-worlds view can be squared with what one actually observes. I do not see what relation there is between the 'true' (objective) state-vector of the universe and what we are supposed actually to 'observe'. Claims have been made that the 'illusion' of R can, in some sense, be effectively deduced in this picture, but I do not think that these claims hold up. At the very least, one needs further ingredients to make the scheme work. It seems to me that the many-worlds view introduces a multitude of problems of its own without really touching upon the real puzzles of quantum measurement. (Compare DeWitt and Graham 1973.)

THE LURE AND ROMANCE OF ALCHEMY A HISTORY OF THE SECRET LINKS BETWEEN MAGIC AND SCIENCE C.J.S.Thompson 1990 THE MYSTERY OF THE EMERALD TABLET Page 31 That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like that which is above, to accomplish the miracles of one thing And as in all things whereby contemplation of one, so in all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adoption The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon. Page32 LURE fS ROMANCE OF ALCHEMY The wind carried it in its womb, the earth is the source thereof. It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the world. The power thereof is perfect. If it be cast on to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross. With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from earth to heaven. Again it doth descend to earth and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior. Thus thou wilt possess the brightness of the world, and all obscurity will fly far from thee. This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength, for it over- cometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance. Thus was this world created. Hence will there be marvellous adaptations achieved of which the manner is this. For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus because I hold three parts of ' the wisdom of the whole world. That which I had to say about the operation of Sol is completed. What is the meaning of this enigma? Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, and other philosophers of the Middle Ages sought to solve it, but their comments only point to a vague doctrine of correspondence between heaven and earth, so that inanimate nature answers to the planets and the heavenly bodies. It obviously emphasizes the dependence of all earthly things on the sun, thus following the idea of Aristotle that man is gene- rated from man and the sun. I t refers to the action of the moon upon the earth, the action of fire on a solid body, causing distillation or sublimation, and the subsequent solution of a rarer liquid. It is, indeed, a brief summary of the principles of change in nature and the foundation of alchemical doctrine, and shows the close connexion between alchemy and astrology. One of the earliest doctrines of astrology was a belief in a mysterious emanation from the heavenly bodies which in- fluenced man's life in health and disease, and also affected all minerals, plants, and flowers, their properties being derived from the sun, the moon, and the planets. Legends of the discovery of ancient stone tablets or documents 32 Page33 / MYSTERY OF THE "EMERALD TABLET are not infrequent; another is provided by the story of the find- ing of the famous book on magic known as The Key of Solomon, which, according to tradition, was discovered secreted in an ivory casket in a tomb. In the account of the emerald tablet given by Roger Bacon in the Secretum Secretorum it is stated that "These precious sentences of Hermes were found by Galienus Alfachim the physician, on a plaque of emerald in a cave, clasped in the hands of the corpse of that mysterious legendary figure Hermes Tris- megistus, The Thrice Great." The reader is exhorted" to preserve the strictest secrecy from all except men of goodwill, this treasured text, even as Hermes himself had hidden it within the cave." Another instance of a similar discovery is the story respecting the treatise entitled Concerning the Seven, attributed to Alexius Africanus, in which the seven herbs connected with the seven planets are named. This document is said to have been found enclosed within a monument with the bones of the first King K yrannide~ in the town of Troy. Several early historians record that the lore of the Egyptians was preserved in the stelre of their temples. Iamblichus, in the fourth century, mentions" ancient stelre of Hermes in which all science was written down"; while Olympiodorus, in the sixth century, says, "The secret of the mystic art is inscribed on the obelisks in hieroglyphics." The tradition that the text was inscribed on an emerald may have arisen from the fact that in Grreco- Egyptian times the name was applied to any green stone. It may be well to quote another and freer translation of this historic text; it can be judged more clearly from this that the writer designed to teach the doctrines of alchemy that were common in the early Christian era. I speak not fictitious things, but that which is certain and most true. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below to accomplish the miracles of One Page 34 / ALCHEMY Thing. And as all things were produced by the One Word of One Being, so all things were produced from the One Thing by adaptation. Its father is the Sun, its mother the Moon, the wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the earth. It is the father of all perfection throughout the world. The power is vigorous if it be changed into earth. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgment. Ascend with the sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again descend to the earth and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus you will obtain the glory of the whole world and obscurity will fly far from you. This has more fortitude than fortitude itself, because it conquers every subtle thing and can penetrate every solid. Thus was the world formed. Hence pro- ceed wonders which are here established. Therefore I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. That which I had to say concerning the operation of the Sun is completed. .i The authorship of this remarkable message still remains a mystery, although philosophers have laboured for centuries to prove its authenticity and to interpret its cryptic words. In the Middle Ages it was regarded as a marvellous revelation full of sublime secrets of great importance to mankind, but what these secrets were none was able to reveal. Ferguson enumerates forty-eight treatises and commentaries on the Emerald Tablet, and remarks that we cannot well ignore it-less perhaps now than ever in view of the discovery of Egyptian writings like the medical Papyrus Ebers, which he calls an hermetic treatise of 1550 B.C., a date coinciding with that assigned to Hermes by Lambeck. Other researches have shown that the belief in a person or persons of the name of Hermes has been so widespread and persistent that the whole Hermes legend forms a legitimate subject of inquiry as to its origin. The text is certainly not modern; it has been assigned to Hermes from the first, and its significance does not lie on the surface. It is a profound mystery and remains a great puzzle. Everything concerning it remains a problem; its legendary and romantic discovery, its author-whether one of the several per- / Page 35 / sonages of the name of Hermes or an anonymous writer who ascribed it to him to give it authority-and its possible con- nexion with so-called hermetic writings of an earlier time. De Sacy was of the opinion that the Emerald Tablet was the work of Apollonius of Tyana, but gives no grounds for his conclusion. The story of its discovery may be a myth, but we must remem- ber that the earliest Egyptian papyri dealing with medicine, which are believed to date from 1550 B.C., were found reposing between the legs of a mummy. The most that can be hoped for is that some future discoveries may lead at least to a plausible theory, if not to perfect certainty, regarding its origin Page 26 "There is further evidene in the Bible of the richness of the country in the precious metal, for it is recorded1 that the Queen of Sheba brought much gold and precious stones and / Page 27 and gave to King Solomon 120 talents, a sum equivalent to £240,000. The navy of Hiram also brought gold from Ophir, and the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents,.." 666 talents Reference (omitted) THE GIZA PYRAMIDS The alignment of the pyramids Grand Gallery pointed to the centre of one of the circles "Above the entrance to Plato's Academy at Athens was the legend 'Let none ignorant of geometry enter here'. To the ancient Greeks, pure geometry lay at the heart of all things. It was the way of reconciling the world of the divine with the form of the world we see. The golden mean proportion, for example, can be depicted in terms of geometry but not number. It can be drawn, but the number that represents it cannot be written down as it runs to an infinite number of decimal places. Geometry can be seen as a way of defining what is otherwise indefinable. Our knowledge of the use of pure geometry in ancient Egypt is more tenuous. We do not have any papyri which give the geometrical equivalent of the equations of Plato, Thales and Euclid, epitomising ancient Greek thought. However, Plato considered that Egypt possessed a profound canon of knowledge based on harmony and proportion. We can infer that the ancient Egyptians were as adept with the compass and the rule as their Greek counterparts. This knowledge would have influenced their art and architecture. Unravelling how the Egyptians might have selected the proportions they used is a way of reaching back into the roots of their civilisation." Reference omitted. In fairness to those Egyptologists who maintain that the ancient Egyptians did not know about the 3:4:5 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse - 5 - is never given. But mathematical problems, and those involving the pyramids, are always calculated in terms of the seked of the angle, the ratio of height to base. In the case of the 3:4:5 triangle, the seked is the ratio of 3 to 4. But as no mention was ever made of the length of the hypotenuse, it was inferred that the Egyptians had never worked out the length of the third side. Are we really supposed to believe that a people who could design and build a monument to the precision shown in the Great Pyramid, or the pyramid of Khafre, inv,olving exact measurements over considerable dis- tances, would never have measured or worked out the lengths of the hypotenuses of the triangles they were using? Surely, any people seeking precision of measurement would check all lengths as a matter of course as part of their general exploration of number, form and geometry. It would be an essential part of their working methods. So, I would maintain that simply by using the ratio 3:4 in their building plans, they implicitly knew the length of the third side
HARMONIC 288 THE PULSE OF THE UNIVERSE Bruce Cathie1977 Page 35 He discovered the mathematical relationships of the musical scale and the connection of musical harmony and whole num-bers. He firmly believed that all harmony and things of nature can be expressed in whole-number relationships. Even the planets in their orbits, according to him, moved in harmonious relationship, one to the other, producing the so-called "music of the spheres". The Pythagoreans explained the elements as built up of geometrical figures. One of the most interesting of these was the dodecahedron, which will be discussed in Chapter Seven. That particular figure has locked within it a great deal of information on the geometrical nature of the universe. My first introduction to Pythagoras however was in the discovery that the humble right-angled triangle, with sides to the ratio of 3, 4 and 5, was the key to the relationship of the speed of light, to the circle." 3, 4 and 5,
THE GROWTH OF SCIENCE A. P. Rossiter 1939 Page 15 "...The Egyptians, on the other hand, were experts at this. Their respect for the dead was so great that bodies were kept from destruction by special processes; and in the cutting open of bodies for this purpose they got a great amount of know1edge about their structure: enough to be able to do a number of operations safely. They made good observations on the stars and were able to say when the sun or moon would become dark in an eclipse (a most surprising event even in our times), and when the land would be covered by the waters of the Nile: they were expert at building and made some discoveries about the relations of lines and angles-among them one very old rule for getting a right-angle by stretching out knotted cords with 5, 4, and 3 units between the knots." 5, 4, and 3 units between the knots."

IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBILITIES Lois Pauwels and Jacques Bergier 1968 THE MAN WHO LIKED QUIET The history of machines constructed to help and support the human mind began in 1642 with the cal- "" culating machine invented by Blaise Pascal, which was +J capable of doing additions. Thirty years later Leibnitz built a machine capable not only of adding but also of multiplying. He used a numerical system based solely on the digits 0 and 1 (it was constructed around the powers of 2); it is designated as the binary or dual- digit system. In this system the sequence of digits of the tradi- tional decimal system is used in the following way: 'c'-;; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 lj;~ 1101110010111011110001001101010111100 1101 '~~i, The numbers in the dual-digit system are composed of approximately three times as many digits as those in the decimal system; for that reason this system is not particularly well suited to the human brain as a system for working with figures. But it is perfectly suited for a mechanical brain. Such a machine h~ only two alternatives: it can answer "Yes" or "No," using the symbols + or -,lor O. When the current is switched on, it gives the first answer; when there is no current, the second. The big and complex computers combine a large number of electronic switching devices. In the nineteenth century operating calculating machines built according to the Leibnitz model appeared on the market. They were constructed and perfected;

To this is frequently added 36, making 108, and it is permissible to multiply 108 by 100 to get 10,800 or to divide it by 2 to get 54, which may then be multiplied by 10 and expressed as 540 (or as 54,000, or as 540,000, or as 5,400,000, and so on). Also highly significant is 2160 ( the number of years required for the equinoctial point to transit one zodiacal / Page 275 / constellation), which is sometimes multiplied by 10 and by factors of ten (to give 216,000, 2,160,000, and so on) " and sometimes by 2 to give 4320, or 43,200, or 432,000, or 4,320,000,ad infinitum."

JONATHAN ADJUSTS A PAIR OF HALF MOON SPECTACLES AND WRITES: Uranus is currently at 29o and 30' of Aquarius (329o.30' tropical longitude). Pluto is at 17o and 30' of Sagittarius. (257o.30' tropical longitude.) Deduct 257.30 from 329.30 and you get exactly 72o. Or at least you did when I was at school. Sadly, not all astrology text books mention the 72o quintile series that splits the circle of the zodiac into five. It was not documented by Ptolemy in the Tetrabiblos but it was identified by Johan Kepler, the father of modern astronomy - who considered it harmonious and helpful. Kepler's work with quintiles also provided the impetus for John Addey's ground-breaking work on planetary harmonics in the 1960s. Are you still reading? Crikey.

DAILY MIRROR Thursday July 31st 2003 CREATIVE GEOMETRY: THE 12, THE 7, AND THE 5 John Michell IN this series we have followed the story of how the Great Geometer made the world. First he located his centre, and from it he drew a circle, This circle depicts the sphere that contains the whole universe. Last week we reached the stage of drawing the outline of the "heavenly city diagram" that represents the sphere of earth below the moon. Its main feature is a circle of radius 5,040, the sum of the earth's mean 3,960 miles, and that of the moon, 1,080 miles. These numbers are all multiples of 12, a number representing order. The Creator is said to have framed the universe in 12s. But, to give it life and spirit, he had to include the numbers 5 and 7.
THE WISE WOUND Penelope Shuttle and Peter Redgrove 1994 Page 141 "Now we must look at the facts that enable us to conjecture that in this state of emancipation, which involved the development of menstruation, the woman's meditations or potions opened her to the effects of the tides, and the sight of the moon. Perhaps she felt the tides in her body, as all water-diviners do. Perhaps she felt the moon- tide as the great 81,000,000,000,000,000,000 ton body passed only a quarter of a million miles overhead, the tidal vibration that is greatest at new moon and solar eclipse when the sun's force and the moon's force are in line and their gravitation is added together (the sun adds some thirty per cent to the tidal peaks at new or full moon). Perhaps she felt this tidal vibration in her body as it is felt throughout the whole earth, in her body made of water and solids as the earth is, of spaces of fluid acting over hard bones, and opened herself in a kind of yoga-tuning to this experience. Then in her excitement these fluids at the focus of tautness and sensitivity at her premenstrual time, burst through their membranes in a flood of tidal communion with the moon and its waters, and the blood flowed in excitement and sympathy. We know that there are these tidal peaks and dynamisms in the earth's progress through its month and through its year, like a breathing of the continents, and it has been conjectured by Theodor Schwenk that these times correspond to the great yearly festivals: ' All naturally flowing waters have their rhythms perhaps following the course of the day, perhaps keeping time with longer seasonal rhythms... Everywhere liquids move in rhythms."

The possible fruits of a deeper understanding of various aspects of life have been considered, such aspects, for instance, as the planetary influences by whose aid we develop, and which we can study through astrology and numbers, and by their manifesta- tions through Colour, Sound and Form. A little research has brought to light the possibility that the discoveries of men of science today may coincide with the knowledge of the mystics of. all times, with a difference only of presentation and nomen- clature, and the fact that the Mystics always postulated an ulti- mate Cause and Law behind all phenomena, while present-day scientists seem afraid to link up with such big issues. Finally we have considered the perfecting of our physical life through more intelligent control of diet, exercise and the human relationships. Let us now draw away the Veil still further and take a peep at what may be the future awaiting man when he struggles out of the rut of materialism and finally takes the reins of his life into his own hands. It looks as if the Powers that Be are tantalizing humanity into making this effort, because they are allowing hints and bits of knowledge to filter through in a more general way than ever before." �

THE SIRIUS MYSTERY Robert Temple 1998 'THE RISING OF 'SERPENT'S TOOTH' Page 366 In Wallis Budge we find also a particularly interesting bit of further information.6 There we learn that the deceased spirit of a man 'goes to Nephthys' and the celestial boat. We have much earlier identified the dark Nephthys with Sirius B. It is therefore interesting to learn that as soon as the deceased visits Nephthys and his 'double' (ka) is recorded in heaven, he immediately 'revolves like the sun' - which I think is a pretty specific astronomical description. As he revolves he 'leads on the Tuat (underworld or heaven)', which is a curious turn of phrase implying a round dance or at least motion which is purposeful, 'and is pure of life in the horizon like Saihu (Orion) and Sept (Sirius, the Dog-star)'. I hope it will be noticed that the phrase here reads 'in the horizon'- and much earlier I said I believed the term 'the horizon' applied specifically to the orbit of Sirius B. Here we have the / Page 366 / deceased revolving like a sun in a purposeful way in 'the horizon'. I don't think the Egyptians could possibly have been more specific and clear than this. Wallis Budge comments: 'The mention of Orion and Sothis is interesting, for it shows that at one time the Egyptians believed that these stars were the homes of departed souls.'"

You have finally located in your search the only passage or use of the number 666 in the entire written record. In vain did you search for another, for no other corresponding witness exists any- where. For it is here at this point in the record (Rev. 13:18) that the perversion of this number made entry, calculated and deliberate in its destructive intent. In the (four) references to this subject that follow, the number becomes a mark that is not My Seal. The few references that follow go on to expand the prized lie that it is the "mark of the beast" and even that it appears in the forehead as well as the hand. Once an awareness is born of these interferences and the motive, the entire proposal is clearly exposed. 4. The number 999 is identified as truly of My Kingdom. It rep-resents a Divine number of the Creation of Life itself in this and other Universes. This is a widely known fact in other worlds. It is a code number within the consciousness of many who have come toPage 32 / this planet to serve the father, and who are actual extensions of myself. To disguise this number as a mark of the fallen ones has dia-bolically and thoroughly confused the souls of this planet, but it was easily accomplished by another source simply by inverting the number upside down."

CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS Circa 1926 Page 99 "At the 9th hour the Saviour died on the Cross." The Romans held a feast in memory of their dead every 9th year. In some of the Hebrew writings it is taught that God has 9 times descended to this earth: 1st in the Garden of Eden, 2nd at the confusion of tongues at Babel, 3rd at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, 4th to Moses at Horeb, 5th at Sinai when the Ten Commandments were given, 6th to Balaam, 7th to Elisha, 8th in the Tabernacle, 9th in the Temple at Jerusalem, and it is taught that at the l0th coming this earth will pass away and a new one will be created. Both the First and Second Temples of the Jews were destroyed on the 9th day of the Jewish month called Ab. On the 9th day of Ab all modem Jews who follow their religion cannot wear the Talith and Phylacteries until the Sun has set. There are so many curious things con- nected with the Number 9 that it would / Page 100 / not be possible to deal with one half of them in a book of this description"
CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS Circa 1926 Page13 "It is impossible in a book of this size to give in detail all the reasonings and examples that exist for a belief in the occult side of numbers, but it may interest my readers if I give a few illustrations of why the number 7 has for ages been regarded as the number of mystery relating to the spiritual side of things, and why the number 9 has in its turn come to be regarded as the finality or end of the series on which all ou, materialistic calcu-lations are built, but the most casual observer can only admit that beyond the number 9 all ordinary numbers become but a mere repetition of the first 9. A simple illustration of this will readily suffice. The number 10, as the zero is not a number, becomes a repetition of the number I. The number II added together as the ancient occultists laid down in their law of natural addition, namely, adding together from left to right, repeats the number 2, I2 repeats 3, 13 repeats / Page 14 / and so on up to 19, which in its turn becomes 1 and 9 =10, and so again the repetition of 1. 20 represents 2, and so on to infinity. The occult symbolism of what are called compound numbers, that is, those numbers from 10 onwards I will explain later. In this way it will be seen that in all our materialistic systems of numbers, the numbers 1 to 9 are the base on which we are compelled to build, just as in the same way the seven great or primary harmonies in music are the bases of all music, and again as the seven primary colours are the bases of all our combinations of colours. In passing it may be remarked that all through the Bible and other sacred books, the "seven," whenever men-tioned, always stands in relation to the spiritual or mysterious God force, and has curious significance in this sense whenever employed."

UNDERSTANDING THE PRESENT Bryan Appleyard 1992 science and the soul of modern man Page 152 "There was even something symbolically magical about the way Planck arrived at the number. He discovered it simply as a way of solving equations rather than via any route through the intuitively possible or the experimentally observable. This evokes the method of that fictional hero of the age of science, Sherlock Holmes, as he affirms it to the long-suffering Dr Watson in The Sign of Four in 1889. 'How often', he asks impatiently, 'have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, what- ever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'5 However improbable. . . anybody not shocked by quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr was later to say, has not understood it. Erwin Schrodinger was to describe the truths of the new physics as not quite as meaningless as a triangular circle, but much more so than a winged lion. The underlying message of both remarks was that quantum physics could not be made to accord with common sense or intuition. It was bizarre, absurd. Unfortunately it just had to be true, the numbers said so. Newton and Galileo had prepared us for this by showing that the truth lay in universal laws that lay far beyond the limits of our everyday perception. But their versions of those laws still lay well within the range of the intuitive. What was to emerge from quantum theory was to challenge our ability even to guess at the true nature of the world."

Richard S. Westfall, in The Life of Isaac Newton (Cambridge University Press, 1993), p. 125, also quoted Newton's theological note- books, and stated that the physicist 'believed that the essence of the Bible was the prophecy of human history.' See also, Westfall's Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton (Cambridge University Press, 1980), pp.346ff. I first saw the report of the Rips and Witztum experiment in the original draft they submitted for peer review, and the abstract quoted is from that draft. The paper was ultimately published in an American math journal, Statistical Science, in August 1994 (vol. 9, no. 3), pp. 429-38, 'Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis,' Doron Witztum, Eliyahu Rips, and Yoav Rosenberg. I spoke to the journal editor, Robert Kass, before the article was published. His editorial note is quoted from the pre-print he read to me. It was later published in Statistical Science, p. 306. The full Rips- Witztum paper is reprinted in the Appendix of this book. The results Rips and Witztum reported in Statistical Science were that the names had matched the dates against odds of four in a million, but in a series of later experiments the actual odds were found to be one in ten million. The original results were derived by taking the set of 32 names and 64 dates and jumbling them in a million different combinations, so that only one was a completely correct pairing. Rips and Witztum then did a computer run to see which of the million examples got a better result - where the information came together most clearly in the Bible. 'In four cases the random pairing won,' explained Rips. 'The correct pairing won 999,995 times.' But in a second experiment where all the correct matches of names and dates were eliminated from the jumbled pairings, and the only correct information appeared in the completely accurate list, and 10 million permutations were checked, the results were one in 10 million. 'None of the random pairings came out higher,' said Rips. 'The results were 0 vs. 9,999,999, or one in 10 million.'..."
CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS Circa 1926 Page106 "Shakespeare, that Prince of Philosophers, whose thoughts will adorn English litera- ture for all time, laid down the well-known axiom: There is a tide in the affairs of men which if taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." The question has been asked again and again, Is there some means of knowing when the moment has come to take the tide at the flood? My answer to this question is that the Great Architect of the Universe in His Infinite Wisdom so created all things in such harmony of design that He endowed the human mind with some part of that omnipotent knowledge which is the attribute of the Divine Mind as the Creator of all. " The question has been asked again and again, Is there some means of knowing when the moment has come to take the tide at the flood?"

And you shall see And you shall hear. Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret having been deaf For in that day you shall know the hidden purposes in all things, And you shall bless darkness as you would bless light. After saying these things he looked about him, and he saw the pilot of his ship standing by the helm and gazing now at the full sails and now at the distance. And he said: Patient, over patient, is the captain of my ship. The wind blows, and restless are the sails; Even the rudder begs direction; Yet quietly my captain awaits my silence. And these my mariners, who have heard the choir of the greater sea,they too have heard me patiently. Now they shall wait no longer. I am ready The stream has reached the sea, and once more THE GREAT MOTHER holds her son against her breast. Fare you well, people of Orphalese. This day has ended. It is closing upon us even as the water-lily upon its own tomorrow. What was given us here we shall keep, And if it suffices not, then again must we come to-gether and together stretch our hands unto the giver. Forget not that I shall come back to you. . A little while, and my longing shall gather dust and foam for another body. A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me. Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky. But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song. and if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky. So saying he made a signal to the seamen, and straightaway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved eastward. And a cry came from the people as from a single heart, and it rose into the dusk and was carried out over the sea like a great trumpeting. Only Almitra was silent, gazing after the ship until it had vanished into the mist. And when all the people were dispersed she still stood alone upon the sea-wall, remembering in her heart his saying: A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.'

Physics is concerned with interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this case the ., cat without a grin" and the "grin without a cat" are equally set aside as purely mathematical phantasies."

The house of a God that plays dice has many rooms. We can live in only one room at a time, but it is the whole house that is reality."He gets up and leaves us. Only the smoke from his pipe remains, and then, like the smile of the Cheshire cat, that too disappears."
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND Lewis Carroll Page 61 "and was just saying to herself, 'if one only knew the right way to change them-' when she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good- natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect. 'Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. 'Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on. 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. 'I don't much care where--' said Alice. 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat. '-so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation. 'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.' "
CAT AMONGST THE CATACOMBS
THE DEATH OF FOREVER Darryl Reaney 1991 Page 27 "The box is set up in such a way that any such disintegration will break open the poison capsule, releasing enough poison to kill the cat; in the time interval allowed for this 'thought experiment' there is an exactly 50:50 chance that the atom will or will not decay. This is the basis of Schroedinger's paradox. The observer outside the box cannot know whether an atom inside the box has decayed (opening the capsule and killing the cat) unless he looks. The condition of the cat (alive or dead) is therefore a litmus test of reality itself. According to the strict interpretation of the quantum wave, in the absence of observation, the cat in the box is neither alive nor dead but in some indeterminate, wave-like, in-between state. It is only when the consciousness of an observer enters the picture that the complex ripple of possibility that is the indeterminate 'alive and dead at the same time' quantum cat crystallises into one of the two possible real outcomes: either the cat is alive (no atom has decayed) or the cat is dead (an atom has decayed). In short, it is the observer's decision (his choice) to open the box that summons forth a real cat, dead or alive, from its ghostly quantum state of non-being." GREAT CAT TALES 1992 MIKE Sir Ernest A. Wallace Budge Page 383 (number omitted)
A DYING CAT Pierre Loti Page 428 (number omitted) "An old mangy cat, hunted out of its abode no doubt by its owners, had established itself in our street, on the footpath of our house, where a little November sun once more warmed its body. It is the custom with certain people whose pity is a selfish pity thus to send off as far away as possible and lose the poor animals they care neither to tend nor to see suffer. All day long it would sit piteously in the comer of a window- sill, looking, oh! so unhappy and so humble, an object of disgust to those who passed, menaced by children and by dogs, in con- tinual danger, and sickening from hour to hour. It lived on offal, picked up with great difficulty in the streets, and there it sat all alone, dragging out its existence as it could, striving to ward off death. Its poor head was eaten up with disease, covered with sores, and almost without fur, but its eyes, which remained bright, seemed to reflect profoundly. It must have felt in its fright- ful bitterness the worst of all sufferings to a cat - that of not being able to make its toilet, to lick its fur, and to comb itself with the care cats always bestow on this operation. To make its toilet! I believe that to beast, as to man, this is one of the most necessary distractions of life. The poprest, the most diseased, and the most decrepit animals at certain hours dress themselves up, and, as long as they are able to find time to do that, have not lost everything in life. But to be no longer able to care for their appearance because nothing can be done before the final mouldering away - that has always appeared to me the low-est depth of all the supreme agony. Alas for those poor old beg-gars who before death have mud and filth on their faces, their / Page 429 / bodies scarred with wounds that no longer can be dressed, the poor diseased creatures for whom there is no longer even pity. It gave me so much misery to look at this forsaken cat that I first sent it something to eat in the street, and then I approached it and spoke to it, softly - (animals very soon learn to understand kind actions and find consolation in them). Accustomed to be hunted, it was first frightened at seeing me stop before it. Its first look was suspicious, ruled with reproach and supplication. 'Are you also going to drive me away from this last sunny comer?' And then quickly perceiving that I had come from sympathy, .and astonished at so much kindness, it addressed to me very softly its poor cat's answer, 'Prr! Prr! Prr!' even rising out of politeness, and attempting to lift its back, in spite of its weariness, and in hopes that perhaps I would go as far as a caress. No; my pity, even though I was the only body in the world that felt any for it, did not go this length. That happiness of being caressed it would never know again, but as a compensation I imagined that I might give it death - immediately, with my own hand, and in a manner almost pleasant. - An hour afterwards this was done in the stable. Sylvester, my servant, who had first gone and bought some chloroform, had quietly coaxed the cat in, and induced it to lie down on the hot hay at the bottom of a wicker basket, which was to be its mortuary chamber. Our preparations did not disquiet it. We had rolled a carte-de-visite in the shape of a cone, as we had seen the surgeons do in the ambulance. The cat looked at us with a confiding and happy air, thinking it had at last found a home, and people who would take compassion on it, new masters who would heal it. Meantime, and in spite of my dread of its disease, I leaned down to caress it, having already received from the hands of Syl-vester the pasteboard cup all covered with poison. While caress- ing it I tried to induce it to remain quiet there, to push little by little the end of its nose into the narcotised cup. A little surprised at first, sniffing with vague terror at this unaccustomed smell, it ended by doing as it was asked with such submission that I almost hesitated to continue my work. The annihilation of a thinking animal, even though it be not a human being, has in it something to dumbfound us. When one thinks of it, it is always the same revolting mystery, and death besides carries with it so / 430 / much majesty, that from the instant its shadow appears it has the power of giving sublimity in an unexpected, exaggerated form to the most infinitesimal scene. At this moment I appeared to myself like some black magician, arrogating to myself the right of bring-ing to the suffering what I believed to be supreme peace, the right of opening to those who had not demanded it the gates of the great night. Once it lifted its poor head, almost lifeless, to look at me fix-edly. Our eyes met - his, questioning, expressive, asking me with an extreme intensity, 'What are you doing to me, you to whom I confided myself, and whom I know so little? What are you doing to me?' And I still hesitated, but its neck fell; its poor disgusting head now supported itself on my hand, which I did not with-draw. A torpor invaded it in spite of itself, and I hoped it would not look at me again. But it did, one other last time. Cats, as the poor people say, have their souls pinned to their bodies. In a last spasm of life, it looked at me again across the half-sleep of death. It seemed even to all at once comprehend everything. 'Ah, then it was to kill me and not assist me; I allow it to be done. . . It is too late. . . I am falling asleep.' In fact, I was afraid that I had done wrong. In this world in which we know nothing of anything, men are not allowed to even pity intelligently. Thus, its look, infinitely sad, even while it des-cended into the petrifaction of death, continued to pursue me as with a reproach. 'Why did you interfere With my destiny? I might have been able to drag along for a time; to have had still some little thoughts for at least another week. There remained to me sufficient strength to leap on to the window-sill where the dogs could no more torment me, where I was not cold. In the morning, when the sun came there, I had some moments which were not unbearable, looking at the movement of life around me, in-terested in the coming and going of other cats, conscious at least of something; whilst now, I am about to decompose and be trans-formed into I know not what, that will not remember me. Soon I shall no longer be." I should have recollected, in fact, that even"the meanest of things love to prolong their life by every means, even to its utmost limits of misery, preferring anything to the terror of being / Page 431 / nothing, of no longer being. When I came back in the evening to see it again, I found it stiff and cold, in the attitude of sleep in which I had left it. Then I told Sylvester to close the little mortuary basket, to carry it away far from the city/and throw it away in the fields. Page 381 (Posthumous Words) "I didn't live long on earth, but when I was there I was black, en- tirely black, without ~ny white patch on my chest or white star on my forehead. I hadn)t even those three or four white hairs which black cats often have below their chins, in the hollow of their throats. My coat was short, smooth and thick, my tail thin and sprightly, my eyes slanting and gooseberry green - a real black cat. My earliest memory goes back to a house where I met a little white cat walking towards me down a long, dark room. Some in- stinct I didn't understand made me go to meet him, and we stopped nose to nose. He gave a jump backwards and at the same moment I gave a jump backwards too. If I hadn't jumped that day, perhaps I should still inhabit the world of colours and sounds and shapes you can touch. But I jumped, and the white cat took me for his black shadow. After that I tried in vain to convince him that I had a shadow of my own. He insisted that I was nothing but his shadow and that I should imitate all his gestures, with no thanks for my pains. I had to dance if he danced, drink if he drank, eat if he ate, and hunt the game he hunted. But what I drank was the shadow of water, what I ate was the shadow of meat, and I would spend hours of boredom lying in wait for the shadow of a bird. The white cat didn't like my green eyes, because they refused to be the reflection of his blue ones. He would curse them and go for them with his claws. So I used to keep them closed, and accus-tomed myself to seeing nothing but the darkness which reignecd behind my eyelids. Page 382 But it was a wretched life for a little black cat. On moonlit nights I used to escape and dance feebly in front of a white wall, just for the pleasure of seeing a shadow that was my own, a thin, homed shadow that with every moon grew thinner and ever thinner, as though it were melting away. And that was how I escaped from the little white cat. But I can't remember clearly just how I got away. Did I climb up a moon- beam? Did I imprison myself for ever behind my locked eyelids? Was I called by one of the magic cats that emerge from the depths of mirrors? I don't know. But ever since then the white cat thinks he has lost his shadow and he spends his time seeking it and call- ing it. Yet death has brought me no rest, because I doubt. As time goes on I grow always less and less certain that I was ever a real cat, and not just a shadow, the nocturnal half, the black, reverse side of the white cat."

THE TRUE AND INVISIBLE ROSICRUCIAN ORDER Paul Foster Case 1981 Page 108 "...the underlying purpose of the Fama, when it says the object of the manifesto is to reveal man's nobleness and worth and why he is called Microcosmus. For Microcosmus (or Microcosmos) is simply the Paracelsian adaptation of the Qabalistic Microprosopus, or Lesser Countenance. The Zohar says that all is contained in the mystery of Vav, and thereby all is revealed. The same Qabalistic authority connects Vav with the Son of David, and this was interpreted by erudite Europe in the seventeenth century, as a reference to the Christos. Attached to the nail was a stone. This is the same stone we have , mentioned before. It is the Stone rejected by the builders. It is the Stone of the Philosophers. It is ABN, Ehben, signifying the union of the Son with the Father. We have already said that Henry Khunrath published in 1609 a book called Amphitheatrum Chemicum, in which appears an illustration showing the word ABN, Ehben, enclosed in a triangle. This radiant triangle, with the letters ABN at its corners, is borne by a dragon, and the dragon is on top of a mountain. The mountain is in the middle or center of an enclosure, surrounded by a wall having seven sides, whose corners bear the words, reading from left to right or clockwise around the wall: Dissolution, Purification, Azoth Pondus, Solution, Multiplication, Fermentation, Projec-tion. Thus, the inner wall summarizes the alchemical operations. Its gate has the motto Non omnibus, meaning "Not for all," as if to intimate that entrance into the central mystery is not for everyone. . Surrounding this inner wall is another in the form of a seven- pointed star, composed of fourteen equal lines. The gate to this outer wall is flanked by two triangular pyramids, or obelisks. Over one is the sun, and this obelisk is named Faith. Over the other is the moon, and this pillar is named Taciturnity, or Silence. Between the pillars, in the gate, is a figure bearing the caduceus of Hermes or Mercury, standing behind a table on which is written "Good Works." Below is the motto: "The ignorant deride what the wise extol and admire." Thus, in Khunrath's diagram we have the same association be- tween a seven-sided figure and a stone that occurs in the Fama. The mystic mountain, with the dragon at its summit, is also a Rosicrucian symbol, as one may see in Thomas Vaughan's Lumen de Lumine, where Section 2 is entitled "A Letter from the Brothers of R.C., Concerning the Invisible, Magical Mountain and the Treasure therein Contained." Incidentally, the title of this section is a clear enough intimation that Thomas Vaughan was in communication with the Invisible Order, although he says in one of his books that he has "no acquaintance with this Fraternity as to their persons." Vaughan further says, concerning the Rosicrucians: Every sophister condemns them, because they appear not to the world, and concludes there is no such society, because he is not a member of it. There is scarce a reader so just as to consider upon what grounds they conceal

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN Thomas Mann 1875 - 1955 FOREWORD "THE STORY of Hans Castorp, which we would here set forth, not on his own account, for in him the reader will make acquaintance with a simple-minded though pleasing young man, but for the sake of the story itself, which seems to us highly worth telling - though it must needs be borne in mind, in Hans Castorp's behalf, that it is his story, and not every story happens to everybody- this story, we say, belongs to the long ago; is already, so to speak, covered with historic mould, and unquestionably to be presented in the tense best suited to a narrative out of the depth of the past That should be no drawback to a story, but rather the reverse. Since histories must be in the past, then the more past the better, it would seem, for them in their character as histories, and for him, the teller of them, rounding wizard of times gone by. With this story, moreover, it stands as it does to-day with human beings, not least among them writers of tales: 'it is far older than its years; its age may not be measured by.length of days, nor the weight of time on its head reckoned by the rising or setting of suns. In a word, the degree of its antiquity has noways to do with the pas- sage of time - in which statement the author intentionally touches upon the strange and questionable double nature of that riddling element. But we would not wilfully obscure a plain matter. The exag-gerated pastness of our narrative is due to its taking place before the epoch when a certain crisis shattered its way through life and consciousness and left a deep chasm behind. It takes place - or, rather, deliberately to avoid the present tense, it took place, and had taken place - in the long ago, in the old days, the days of the world before the Great War, in the beginning of which so much began that has scarcely yet left off beginning. Yes, it took place before that; yet not so long before. Is not the pastness of the past the profounder, the completer, the more legendary, the more im- mediately before the present it falls? More than that, our story has, of its own nature, something of the legend about it now and again. Page xii We shall tell it at length, thoroughly, in detail- for when did a narrative seem too long or too short by reason of the actual time or space it took up? We do not fear being called meticulous, in-clining as we do to the view that only the exhaustive can be truly -interesting. Not all in a minute, then, will the narrator be finished with the story of our Hans. The seven days of a week will not suffice, no, nor seven months either. Best not too soon make too plain how much mortal time must pass over his head while he sits spun round in his spell. Heaven forbid it should be seven years!" And now we begin."

IN SEARCH OF EXTRA TERRESTRIALS Alan Landsburg 1977 Page 79 "as I lay gazing at the star-dusted sky, a strange feeling of utter loneliness crept over me. Those who live in cities never see the sky as it was that evening. It was like an enormous intergalactic fireworks display-here and there a shooting star, whole whorls of many solar systems, distant suns and galaxies spar-kling across the vast ice reaches of outer space. The words of J. B. S. Haldane came back to haunt me. He once wrote, "Now, my suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. I suspect that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in any philosophy. That is the reason why I have no philosophy myself, and must be my excuse for dreaming." The past fifteen years have reversed the thinking of the scientific community regarding extraterrestrial life, known as ETI. And while speculation about ETI has always been a heated one, today large segments of the scientific establishment are examining the hard proba- bilities that the universe is populated and that our galaxy is teeming with life. The problem-should say challenge - is more "how" than "if." "

But one simple theory which is certainly nearer the truth than Hitler's was stated by old Andrew Marvell 270 years ago: " The world in all doth but two nations bear, The good, the bad, and these mixed everywhere."

It got to be funny; I never thought to find so many friends on this God- forsaken ball! Finally I made a puzzled gesture to Tweel; I guess he understood, for he said, "One-one-two- yes! -two-two-four - no!" Get it?' 'Sure,' said Harrison. 'It's a Martian nursery rhyme.' 'Yeah! Well, I was getting used to Tweel's symbolism, and I figured it out this way. "One-one-two - yes!" The creatures were intelligent. "Two-two-four - no!" Their intelligence was not of our order, but something different and beyond the logic of two and two is four. Maybe I missed his meaning. Perhaps he meant that their minds were of low degree, able to figure out the simple things - "One-one-two - yes!" - but not more difficult things - "Two-two-four - no!" But I think from what we saw later that he meant the other. 'After a few moments, the creatures came rushing back - first one, then another. Their pushcarts were full of stones, sand, chunks of rubbery plants, and such rubbish as that. They droned out their friendly greeting, which didn't really sound so friendly, and dashed on. The third one I assumed to be my first acquaintance and I decided to have another chat with him. I stepped into his path again and waited. 'Up he came, booming out his "We are v-r-r-riends" and stopped. I looked at him; four or five of his eyes looked at me. He tried his password again and gave a shove on his cart, but I stood firm. And then the - the dashed creature reached out one of his arms, and two finger-like nippers tweaked my nose!'..."

A UNIQUE MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY FIRST CONTACT SEIZING THE MOMENT Michael Michaud Page 314 Philip Morrison has suggested that aliens might send us a volume of information greater than that transmitted to medieval Europe from the ancient Greeks, stimulating a new and even greater Renaissance. By entering a communications net, we might receive maps of the Galaxy, and elaborate descriptions of the physical Universe and how it works. We might learn the histories of civilizations stretching far back into the galactic past, and become aware of alternative cultures, arts, social and economic systems, and forms of political organization. Deliberately or by implication, the aliens might tell us how they had survived. It is intriguing to consider how much we could contribute to the other side of the dialogue. Alien knowledge, integrated with our own, could generate a dramatic forward leap in our sciences and our other academic disciplines. For the first time, we could compare our information and our perceptions with those of other minds in different environments, illuminating voids in our own knowledge and suggesting new generalizations. This almost certainly would lead to new syntheses, a boom in interdisciplinary studies as we perceived new linkages, and new branches of science. Dealing with this influx of new knowledge could force us into mind-stretching responses. Our curiosity would be stimulated by finding out how much we had not known. Contact also could reveal areas of shared knowledge, supporting our own conclusions; this might include religious concepts such as creation or a Supreme Being. But we should beware of excessive optimism about this exchange of information; communication with an alien civilization may not be easy. No matter what we / Page 315 / wish to believe, aliens, by definition, will be very different. While they may share some of our perceptions of physical reality and some of our evolutionary experiences, their evolutions would differ from ours in many ways, and we might share little in philosophy and culture. There could be serious problems of mutual unintelligibility, or misunderstandings caused by different ways of perceiving reality and by different cultural frames of reference. We might find that our own concepts of language, including mathematics, are narrow and idiosyncratic. We also should not assume that the aliens will want to tell us everything. Transmitting the species data bank might not be the aliens' first priority. They might want to know first our capabilities and our intentions to assure themselves that their security would not be threatened. There might be things they would not want to tell us, such as how to achieve interstellar flight or how to create more powerful weapons. Receiving knowledge much more advanced than our own, and the solutions to problems we have struggled with for years, could break the intellectual morale of some scientists and other scholars, and undermine support for some forms of research. Instead, we might simply wait for alien answers, and translate them into our terms. Humans concerned about their personal and institutional interests might resist the dissemination of some alien information, or seek to brand it as dangerous, immoral, or subversive. Receiving, interpreting, and disseminating information from extraterrestrials could be a major enterprise for humanity, almost certainly requiring new institutions. Since control over this information could bring great power and status, there would be a strong / Page 316 / temptation to monopolize the channel and to limit access by others. Individual nations or groups might attempt to conduct separate dialogues with the aliens to exploit contact for their own purposes. Political and governmental leaders would be concerned about the impact that contact could have on their populations, and might try to let through only those ideas they considered safe. National security policy-makers might argue for classification of the contact and the information received. Some scholars, particularly those personally involved in the first contact, might be equally possessive about the information and the channel, especially if they distrusted governments and held a low opinion of the general population. Entrepreneurs might compete to get first access to alien ideas and to monopolize or patent those with commercial value." � CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS Circa 1926 Page106 "Shakespeare, that Prince of Philosophers, whose thoughts will adorn English litera- ture for all time, laid down the well-known axiom: There is a tide in the affairs of men which if taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. " The question has been asked again and again, Is there some means of knowing when the moment has come to take the tide at the flood? My answer to this question is that the Great Architect of the Universe in His Infinite Wisdom so created all things in such harmony of design that He endowed the human mind with some part of that omnipotent knowledge which is the attribute of the Divine Mind as the Creator of all."

It is their will that ye continue to instruct the nations, as far as they may be permitted to know. It is the pleasure of OSIRIS sitting on his throne of clouds, and sur-rounded by the inferior deities, that ye make known to his subjects, his children upon earth, whatever may concern their DESTINY and what matters ye shall find written in the book of books :-THE WRITTEN ROLL OF MAN'S FATE, now committed to your / Page xxx / safe keeping :-that ye do this strictly and truly, withollt fear of danger, or hope of reward, according to all questions that may be asked, by individual persons, by tribes, by rulers of states, and by conquerors of nations. OSIRIS commandeth the servants in his favoured sanctuary to shew favour unto none, in the answers which it will be their duty to give from this book. Let sacrificices and gifts and invocations be made; let the question be asked in all humility and strong faith, and when the DIVINER hath consulted the windings and intricacies of the problem, according to the instt\i{:tions hereunto appended, let the result be written and handed to the chief PROPHET OR PROPHETESS, (seated on a stool having three legs;) who shall read and interpret the writing of HERMES unto the enquirer, in the face of all the assembled people. And the PROPHET OR PROPHETESS shall read no writing but what hath been truly given to her by the priest who doth officiate in the sacrifice; and the priest shall not add to, nor diminish from, what he findeth to the true answer to the question asked, as in this ROLL OF MAN'S FATE contained: neither shall he substitute one answer for another, but in all things he shall do according to the instructions herein given. 'The highest among the Gods, in like way, ordaineth, that no bribe, nor private gift, shall be offered or taken, either by the individual who enquireth, or by the priest who maketh answer to the consulta-tion: let the gift, which is to he offered, be of free will, and let it be put upon the altar after the sacrifice hath been consumed, In the face of all the people. If herein the priests offend, they shall, on the instant, bestrllck down and pinioned to the earth by the piercing and fiery arrows which the great OSIRIS in his anger, speaking from the clouds, hurleth at offending mortals. - Look to it; that, in this, ye offend not. It is further enjoined that ye take strict charge of this book; that no one but the priests do touch it with their hands, and that it be pre-served in a chest of alabaster, to be placed under the-altar in the midst of the temple. It is in like way commanded that copies of the book be written as occasion requireth, and that they be transmitted unto. the priests of the other temples throughout ,the earth: also that they be deposited in the tombs of the KINGS AND OF THE HIGH PRIESTS. as followeth: - When the body hath been embalmed and sufficiently swathed in fine cloth, let the roll of writing be placed under the left Breast, and / Page xxxi / let the vestment be bound over it; so that it shall be covered close and hid from view. The body shall then be attended by the princes and priests and people to the place of sepulture, where it is to be interred with honour ;- a strong and durable building being raised on the top thereof.
HOW THE ENQUIRER SHALL OBTAIN A TRUE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WHICH HE PUTTETH TO THE ORACLE
*To HERMES TRISMEGISTUS , a sage as highly revered among them, as ZOROASTER was among the Persians, the Egyptians ascribed the inventions of chief use to human life; and like every people who are unable to settle the antiquity of their origin, they represented his works to have outstood the shock even of the universal deluge. They otherwise called him THOTH; and their priests constantly maintained that from the hieroglyphical characters upon the pillars he erected, and the sacred books, all the philosophy and learning of the world has been derived, and all the oracular intelligence has been drawn."

CH is the principle of timeless knowledge as revealed through the time process. R is the principle of art and rhythm. M is the principle of the human and intimate. The language, the method, and the logic-that belongs to this body or brain [Vinod] that we use. CH presses the buttons and releases the forces. We strive to bring about the required correlation, which is to say, it is in explicit fulfillment of our purpose that we are meeting here tonight. This is a planned performance. Planned to the minutest moment. If the velocity of light is approached to ninety-nine per cent, the increase in the mass is in the range of seven. This is one of the physical proofs of why we want sevens. Perhaps you have not noticed this before." AP: "No, I haven't." That is partly an inference from Einsteinian analysis light velocity. Even there this seven range-it is not exactly seven. but it is the range of seven; it does not go beyond eight. It doesn't go beyond six, but it hits around seven and such microscopic aspects of velocity. If seven can be so perfectly deter- / Page 252 / mined, you will notice why the seven has been detected even in the physical as well as psychospiritual dimensions. The acceptance of the Law of Seven. Now, that's a clue which will keep you absolutely convinced and you will not ask me again what is the rationale of seven. If we tell you that it is the occult number and the seven chords of being as known in ancient occult literature, you will continue to have a veil of suspicion. But now that the increment in the mass is exactly to the range of seven by an approximation of ninety-nine per cent to the velocity of light, that is a kind of indicator how mass is related to high velocity. Related in this way, that it achieves an increment of seven-achieves an increment to seven, not of seven. Beyond ninety-nine per cent we cannot go because it becomes infinitization, as you know. AP: "Yes, that's what I was going to ask you, whether the change in increment beyond ninety-nine per cent becomes enormous rather rapidly?" Yes. AP: "It approaches infinity between ninety-nine and one hundred per cent?" Yes. Now these are only theoretical indications. We cannot really go on with experimentation in this direction, but if we get seven times the electrical equivalent of the human body-if we get it seven times-do you know what would result? It would result in sevenon of the mass of electricity. That's a very strange term, but it's true. If it gains sevenfold, corresponding approximation to light velocity will be ninety-nine per cent. That is the point where human personality has to be stretched in order to achieve infinitization. This is one of the most secret insights. Our problem now boils down to this, how to get the human body seven times what it is in electrical terms. One more tremendous secret. Copper is a phenomenon which succeeds in giving half of seven resultant to human body particular. That is why your copper cage succeeds. Tremendous secret. That is why the idea of a copper cage is so revolutionary, so enormous in its possible effects on parapsychological effort."
Prometheus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Greek mythology, Prometheus 1] is a Titan, culture hero, and trickster figure who is credited with the creation of man from clay, and who defies the gods and ... Prometheus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the Greek mythological figure. For other uses, see Prometheus (disambiguation). In Greek mythology, Prometheus (/prəˈmiːθiːəs/; Greek: Προμηθεύς, pronounced [promɛːtʰeús], meaning "forethought")[1] is a Titan, culture hero, and trickster figure who is credited with the creation of man from clay, and who defies the gods and gives fire to humanity, an act that enabled progress and civilization. Prometheus is known for his intelligence and as a champion of mankind.[2] The punishment of Prometheus as a consequence of the theft is a major theme of his mythology, and is a popular subject of both ancient and modern art. Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced the Titan to eternal torment for his transgression. The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver, which would then grow back to be eaten again the next day. (In ancient Greece, the liver was thought to be the seat of human emotions.)[3] In some stories, Prometheus is freed at last by the hero Heracles (Hercules). In another of his myths, Prometheus establishes the form of animal sacrifice practiced in ancient Greek religion. Evidence of a cult to Prometheus himself is not widespread. He was a focus of religious activity mainly at Athens, where he was linked to Athena and Hephaestus, other Greek deities of creative skills and technology.[4] In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented human striving, particularly the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of overreaching or unintended consequences. In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as embodying the lone genius whose efforts to improve human existence could also result in tragedy: Mary Shelley, for instance, gave The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle to her novel Frankenstein (1818).
The oldest legends of Prometheus among the Ancients[edit] The four most ancient sources for understanding the origin of the Prometheus myths and legends all rely on the images represented in the Titanomachia, or the cosmological climactic struggle between the Greek gods and their parents, the Titans.[5] Prometheus himself was a titan who managed to avoid being in the direct confrontational cosmic battle between Zeus and his followers against Cronus, Uranus and their followers.[6] Prometheus therefore survived the struggle in which the offending titans were eternally banished by Zeus to the chthonic depths of Tartarus, only to survive to confront Zeus on his own terms in subsequent climactic struggles. The greater Titanomachia depicts an overarching metaphor of the struggle between generations, between parents and their children, symbolic of the generation of parents needing to eventually give ground to the growing needs, vitality, and responsibilities of the new generation for the perpetuation of society and survival interests of the human race as a whole. Prometheus and his struggle would be of vast merit to human society as well in this mythology as he was to be credited with the creation of humans and therefore all of humanity as well. The four most ancient historical sources for the Prometheus myth are Hesiod, Homer, Pindar, and Pythagoras. Hesiod and the Theogony[edit] The Prometheus myth first appeared in the late 8th-century BC Greek epic poet Hesiod's Theogony (lines 507–616). He was a son of the Titan Iapetus by Clymene, one of the Oceanids. He was brother to Menoetius, Atlas, and Epimetheus. In the Theogony, Hesiod introduces Prometheus as a lowly challenger to Zeus's omniscience and omnipotence.[7] In the trick at Mekone, a sacrificial meal marking the "settling of accounts" between mortals and immortals, Prometheus played a trick against Zeus (545–557). He placed two sacrificial offerings before the Olympian: a selection of beef hidden inside an ox's stomach (nourishment hidden inside a displeasing exterior), and the bull's bones wrapped completely in "glistening fat" (something inedible hidden inside a pleasing exterior). Zeus chose the latter, setting a precedent for future sacrifices.[7] Henceforth, humans would keep that meat for themselves and burn the bones wrapped in fat as an offering to the gods. This angered Zeus, who hid fire from humans in retribution. In this version of the myth, the use of fire was already known to humans, but withdrawn by Zeus.[8] Prometheus, however, stole back fire in a giant fennel-stalk and restored it to humanity. This further enraged Zeus, who sent Pandora, the first woman, to live with humanity.[7] Pandora was fashioned by Hephaestus out of clay and brought to life by the four winds, with all the goddesses of Olympus assembled to adorn her. "From her is the race of women and female kind," Hesiod writes; "of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble, no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth."[7] Prometheus Brings Fire by Heinrich Friedrich Füger. Prometheus brings fire to mankind as told by Hesiod, with its having been hidden as revenge for the trick at Mecone. Hesiod revisits the story of Prometheus in the Works and Days (lines 42–105). Here, the poet expands upon Zeus's reaction to the theft of fire. Not only does Zeus withhold fire from humanity, but "the means of life," as well (42). Had Prometheus not provoked Zeus's wrath (44–47), "you would easily do work enough in a day to supply you for a full year even without working; soon would you put away your rudder over the smoke, and the fields worked by ox and sturdy mule would run to waste." Hesiod also expands upon the Theogony's story of the first woman, now explicitly called Pandora ("all gifts"). After Prometheus' theft of fire, Zeus sent Pandora in retaliation. Despite Prometheus' warning, Epimetheus accepted this "gift" from the gods. Pandora carried a jar with her, from which were released (91–92) "evils, harsh pain and troublesome diseases which give men death".[11] Pandora shut the lid of the jar too late to contain all the evil plights that escaped, but foresight remained in the jar, giving humanity hope. Angelo Casanova,[12] Professor of Greek Literature at the University of Florence, finds in Prometheus a reflection of an ancient, pre-Hesiodic trickster-figure, who served to account for the mixture of good and bad in human life, and whose fashioning of humanity from clay was an Eastern motif familiar in Enuma Elish; as an opponent of Zeus he was an analogue of the Titans, and like them was punished. As an advocate for humanity he gains semi-divine status at Athens, where the episode in Theogony in which he is liberated[13] is interpreted by Casanova as a post-Hesiodic interpolation.[14] Homer, the Iliad, and the Homeric Hymns[edit] The banishment of the warring titans by the Olympians to the chthonic depths of Tartoros was documented as early as Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey where they are also identified as the hypotartarioi, or, the "subterranean." The passages appear in the Iliad (XIV 279)[15] and also in the Homeric hymn to Apollo (335).[16] The particular forms of violence associated especially with the Titans are those of hybristes and atasthalie as further found in the Iliad (XIII 633-34). They are used by Homer to designate an unlimited, violent insolence among the warring Titans which only Zeus was able to ultimately overcome. This text finds direct parallel in Hesiod's reading in the Theogony (209) and in Homer's own Odyssey (XIX 406). In the words of Kerenyi, "Autolykos, the grandfather, is introduced in order that he may give his grandson the name of Odysseus."[17] In a similar fashion, the origin of the naming of the "titans" as a group has been disputed with some voicing a preference for reading it as a combination of titainein (to exert), and, titis (retribution) usually rendered as "retribution meted out to the exertion of the Titans."[18] It should be noted in studying material concerning Prometheus that Prometheus was not directly among the warring Titans with Zeus though Prometheus's association with them by lineage is a recurrent theme in each of his subsequent confrontations with Zeus and with the Olympian gods. Pindar and the Nemean Odes[edit] The duality of the gods and of humans standing as polar opposites is also clearly identified in the earliest traditions of Greek mythology and its legends by Pindar. In the sixth Nemean Ode, Pindar states: "There is one/race of men, one race of gods; both have breath/of life from a single mother. But sundered aurora collett us divided, so that one side is nothing, while on the other the brazen sky is established/a sure citadel forever."[19] Although this duality in strikingly apparent in Pindar, it also has paradoxical elements where Pindar actually comes quite close to Hesiod who before him had said in his Works and Days (108) "how the gods and mortal men sprang from one source."[20] The understanding of Prometheus and his role in the creation of humans and the theft of fire for their benefit is therefore distinctly adapted within this distinguishable source for understanding the role of Prometheus within the mythology of the interaction of the Gods with humans. Pythagoras and the Pythagorean Doctrine[edit] In order to understand the Prometheus myth in its most general context, the Late Roman author Censorinus states in his book titled De die natali that, "Pythagoras of Samos, Okellos of Lukania, Archytas of Tarentum, and in general all Pythagoreans were the authors and proponents of the opinion that the human race was eternal."[21] By this they held that Prometheus's creation of humans was the creation of humanity for eternity. This Pythagorean view is further confirmed in the book On the Cosmos written by the Pythagorean Okellos of Lukania. Okellos, in his cosmology, further delineates the three realms of the cosmos as all contained within an overarching order called the diakosmesis which is also the world order kosmos, and which also must be eternal. The three realms were delineated by Okellos as having "two poles, man on earth, the gods in heaven. Merely for the sake of symmetry, as it were, the daemons --not evil spirits but beings intermediate between God and man -- occupy a middle position in the air, the realm between heaven and earth. They were not a product of Greek mythology, but of the belief in daemons that had sprung up in various parts of the Mediterranean world and the Near East."[22] The Athenian Tradition of Prometheus: Aeschylus and Plato[edit] The two major authors to have a distinctive influence on the development of the myths and legends surrounding the titan Prometheus during the Socratic era of greater Athens were Aeschylus and Plato. The two men wrote in highly distinctive forms of expression which for Aeschylus centered on his mastery of the literary form of Greek tragedy, while for Plato this centered on the philosophical expression of his thought in the form of the various dialogues he had written and recorded during his lifetime. Aeschylus and the Ancient Literary Aesthetics of Prometheus[edit] Prometheus Bound, perhaps the most famous treatment of the myth to be found among the Greek tragedies, is traditionally attributed to the 5th-century BC Greek tragedian Aeschylus.[23] At the center of the drama are the results of Prometheus' theft of fire and his current punishment by Zeus; the playwright's dependence on the Hesiodic source material is clear, though Prometheus Bound also includes a number of changes to the received tradition.[24] Before his theft of fire, Prometheus played a decisive role in the Titanomachy, securing victory for Zeus and the other Olympians. Zeus's torture of Prometheus thus becomes a particularly harsh betrayal. The scope and character of Prometheus' transgressions against Zeus are also widened. In addition to giving humankind fire, Prometheus claims to have taught them the arts of civilization, such as writing, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and science. The Titan's greatest benefaction for humankind seems to have been saving them from complete destruction. In an apparent twist on the myth of the so-called Five Ages of Man found in Hesiod's Works and Days (wherein Cronus and, later, Zeus created and destroyed five successive races of humanity), Prometheus asserts that Zeus had wanted to obliterate the human race, but that he somehow stopped him.
