The Cosmic Serpent

Symbolism in mythology spans the continents and from the four corners of the world, the symbols, although of different names, of different archtypes, tell a world wide tale.

There is no mythology without the serpent or dragon in the sky. It is wrapped about the cosmic egg, or found to be gnawing on the tree of life. Perhaps the symbol is best know to Christians as the Snake who offered an Apple from the Tree of life expelling Adam (Mars?) and Eve (Venus?) from the Garden of Eden.

No matter the story, the celestial serpent permeated the thoughts of ancient man. One of the first vestiges of mythology is the serpent. From Plato:

"The living being had no need of eyes when there was nothing remaining outside him to be seen; nor of ears when there was nothing to be heard; and there was no surrounding atmosphere to be breathed; nor would there have been any use of organs by the help of which he might receive his food or get rid of what he had already digested, since there was nothing which went from him or came into him: for there was nothing beside him. Of design he was created thus, his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself."

Honestly, it is slightly disturbing that Plato would be accurate in stating that the Dragon would have no atmosphere to breathe, since the Dragon was a plasma manifestation that seems to have appeared as close to the date of "creation" as can be.

In examining Chinese mythos, you too discover the similar and striking celestial references. The coiled snake or dragon played an important role in early Chinese society. Legendary figures Nüwa (女媧), Fuxi (伏羲) are depicted as having snake bodies. Scholars report that the first legendary Emperor of China Huang Di (黃帝,Yellow Emperor) used a snake for his coat of arms.

In China, Dragons are so prolific that each town had its own Dragon King and they were worshipped much like God's were worshipped in other ancient lands. When they say China has no mythology, I would disagree. That is not to say I don't recognize the Ancestor Worship situation that occured prior to the breakdown of the bi-cameral mind, in so far that they recognized the human-like aspects as Legendary Figures/Emperors (much like Heracles) yet the weather related devistation came from the Dragons. There was one Dragon for each sea and it was they who control the weather. They are believed to be the rulers of moving bodies of water, such as waterfalls, rivers, or seas. Fitting given plasma's ability to alter weather and landscapes, they were the gods, and they managed to maintain that imagery into the modern era.

We can take with us an understanding of the past, and the symbols in our present, if we see the myths with new eyes.

Symbol: The Seven Seas

The Seven Seas, a phrase used to indicate a place that gods and other mystical, or quasi-historical sailed. Was this a legitmation of a celestial symbol? Which symbol was it?

Medieval European and Arabic literature often spoke of the Seven Seas. Which seven seas are intended depends on the context. "Seven Seas" was a commonplace phrase in many ancient literatures before it was taken up by the Greeks and Romans; it appears in a translation of one of Enheduanna's hymns to Inanna (Hymn 8), written about 2300 BC in Sumer.

One possibility that can make sense in a new world based on Electromagnetic forces would be that boat symbol, the symbol which gods "sail" the seven seas, is the sunlit part of the god, then the Seven Seas would be that which the boat sails.

"In the XIXth Dynasty we know that the Tuat [the Underworld] was believed to be situated not below our earth, but away beyond the earth, probably in the sky."
-- E. Budge, quoted by Cardona, 1994.

This accounted for the idea that, to the south, the Seven Seas were, in the sky. The Ring's of Earth. Seven, possibly 9, according to Olmecs, since they lived on mountains and were 10 degree's further south than their mediterranian contemporaries. This is sourceable from the "Chilam Balam".

The Egyptians did use words that accurately seemed to reflect this arrangment:

"...a clue as to its real nature [of the Duat] comes to us from its description as having been divided into regions each of which, among other things, was called 'qerert' -- an Egyptian word that means 'circle.'"

If this is true, it would have a very large gap in these rings that would travel through the skies every night. That would be the 'doorway through the underworld.' This, of course, would be, in actuality, the earth's shadow.

What happened to this ring system? Why do we not have one now, even though all magnetic planets have them? It could have been disrupted during the arrival and orbit of the moon.

Recently, Saturn's rings have been in the news refering to how they seem to be in constant motion, moving to and from each other.

"The rings are different from the picture we had in our minds," said Larry Esposito of the University of Colorado at Boulder, who led the study done using ultraviolet imaging.
"We originally thought we would see a uniform cloud of particles. Instead we find that the particles are clumped together with empty spaces in between."

They seem to be passing charge to one another from Saturn homopolar motor by "clumping" together when their charges differ and as the charge equalizes, they drift apart.

This could be accounting for the Olmec's word that refer to the rings as "The House of Nine Rushes". What is a "Rush"? A website dealing with the River Styx in Mythology indicates:

"And there [in Hades] is housed a goddess loathed even by the immortals: dreaded Styx, eldest daughter of Okeanos, who flows back on himself, and apart from the gods she lives in her famous palace which is overroofed with towering rocks, and the whole circuit is undergirded with silver columns, and pushes heaven; and seldom does ... " -Statius, Thebaid 8.21

"That cold water [of the River Styx] that drizzles down from a steep sky-climbing cliffside, and it is one horn of the Okeanos stream, and travels off that holy river a great course through night's blackness under the wide-wayed earth and this water is a tenth part of all, for in nine loops of silver-swirling waters, around the earth and the sea's wide ridges he tumbles into salt water, but this stream, greatly vexing the gods, runs off the precipice ... the imperishable, primevil water of Styx; and it jets down through jagged country [Hesiod may also be describing the Arkadian stream]." - Hesiod, Theogony 775

It seems that those Olmecs, surrounded by oceans in the Yucatan we're not fooled into thinking the Styx/Absu was a river/ocean. It was seen differently. Like an island of firey bushes or underbrush. The following passage has much weight under this new hypothesis:

"On this side Styx encircling its nine regions, on that a barrier of fiery torrents [Pyriphlegethon] encloses his [Hermes descending into the underworld] path." - Statius, Thebaid 2.

It appears that the ancients of the past we're being as accurate as they could be, we simply did not have the capacity to understand their words for over 2500 years.

The Key to Symbolism

Velikovsky was asked once, "What rituals do we do now a days that are a reflection of this time of 'cosmic catastophy'?". His response was short "All of them.".

This new revelation about Mythology and about the universe changes thousands of years of history, and as evolution clearly showed how some species managed to evolve from earlier species.

The beginning of our history and all through our mythology and right into pre-history and history Saturn, the planet has change the face of our planet immensely. This combined with the later events of ~1500 and ~700 BC reinforced this fear and terror that we must have suffered. It has been written by every culture in the world. And all the events are the same, just with different names and different attributes.

Then its no mystery why all the symbols seem to meld together and seem to be benign and ordinary. But there are some that are odder and are interpreted differently.

Anthony Perratt, Plasma Researcher for Los Alamos National Labs has shown that petraglyphs in rocks are the same as hi-energy plasma instabilities of incredibly high amperage. The idea that magic might have been real, in a sense, it's facinating, and this odd mythological world would have "water's above" as undulating plasma auroras, and the electric conditions may have made many things possible, not the least of which is apparently lowering of gravity, or perhaps the St-Elmo's fire would shine from the tops of any high location. Including stone monuments.

We will examine these symbols in detail in the future.

The Thunderbolt Cometh

Recently the discoveries of David Talbott and others are finally garnering the recognition they deserve. I am happy to direct people who are often unable to locate material themselves to places where they would be able to see information on the Plasma Universe and of course all the paradigm shifting that it entails.

Cosmology Quest, Part 1 , Part 2 , published a documentary on the shifting paradigm in cosmology and the tenuous 'epicycles' on which our prima-facia version of the universe rests on. This show breaks down the finer points of the Big Bang's cascade of recent assumptions and shows, with credibility, that the big bang is not following reason, but faith.

Thunderbolts of the Gods, The Tutorial , is an eyeopening one hour video that explores the impact of paradigm on the sciences. It explores a variety of topics which are now different in light of the new material. Seemingly incongrous facts from around the world suddenly make sense for the first time under a new and rationally scientific approach.
