CAE EL VELO: MARIA MAGDALENA, HISTORIA Y SIMBOLO
Dios no es sólo Él. Es también Ella. Porque es Padre y Madre. La fusión de los dos principios, masculino y femenino, que lo permea todo en la Naturaleza. Energía. Amor universal. Los opuestos complementarios, la polaridad no excluyente, plasmada desde hace milenios en culturas profundamente sabias donde el leit motiv de los gemelos se reitera por doquier. Al respecto, resulta ilustrativo lo expresado por Juan Marín en El Egipto de los Faraones" :
(...)"Como se decía al iniciado en los Misterios de Samotracia (según nos cuenta el romano Varro), ´entre Cielo y Tierra hay la misma relación que entre alma y cuerpo, que entre sequedad y humedad´. Osiris era el ´lingam´ sivaico, mientras que Isis era el ´yoni´ de Parvati. Ellos estaban simbolizados en el cielo por los dos "Gemelos" .
(...) "Según Plutarco, la teoría de los "Dos Principios" estaba en la raíz de todos los ritos iniciáticos del mundo antiguo (...)"
Por su parte, en su libro Egyptian Divinities, el egiptólogo Moustafa Gadalla afirma:
(…) "Los textos egipcios expresan que Nun --el caos de la pre-creación -- poseyó características que se identificaron con cuatro pares de poderes/fuerzas primordiales. Cada par representa los gemelos primigenios de doble género --los aspectos masculino/femenino. Los cuatro pares son equivalentes a las cuatro fuerzas del universo (la fuerza poderosa, la fuerza débil, la gravedad, y el electromagnetismo).
Y no por último menos importante, en este brevísimo recuento del simbolismo gemelar sobresale la obra Mito y Significado, de Claude Lévi-Strauss , cuyas conclusiones sobre su nexo con el talón como zona del pie de especial importancia podrían incluso aplicarse al epíteto inscrito en el cartucho de Kheops --"el que sujeta y es sujetado"--ubicado en la Cámara de Descarga de la Gran Pirámide y analizado por el Dr. Georgeos Díaz-Montexano en su estudio El Enigma de los Grafitos de Kheops.
La connotación de fragilidad que poseyó esta zona trasera del pie está, pues, relacionada en gran medida con el mito de los gemelos (véase v.g. el nacimiento de Esaú y Jacob) . De ese modo, al igual que Thetis sujeta a Aquiles por el talón para otorgarle la inmortalidad al sumergirlo en las aguas estigias que corrían por el Hades, el "gemelo" que nace en segundo lugar sujetaría por el talón al hermano que le precede, "debilitando" de ese modo esta zona crucial del pie. Ello, alegóricamente, explicaría en muchos casos el combate entre hermanos para representar transiciones históricas (v.g. nomadismo/sedentarismo) o la pugna entre principios opuestos que, sin ser en realidad excluyentes, luchan por prevalecer hasta lograr fusionarse mediante la fuerza del Amor: yin/yang, bien delimitados y a la vez conteniéndose el uno al otro. En la cosmología del Antiguo Egipto, i.a., los "gemelos" proliferan como símbolos de la dualidad y polaridad necesarias para el equilibrio cósmico: Shu-Tefnut, Geb-Nut, Osiris-Isis, Set-Nephtys... Como también Cástor y Póllux en Grecia, Rómulo y Remo en Roma, Quetzalcóatl y Xólotl entre aztecas y mayas, o los Ibeyis, en la cultura yoruba… Todos vinculados de algún modo con serpientes y dragones, la Madre Kundalini que mora en el raquis humano... La lista es larga.
Ahora bien, ¿qué relación tiene este simbolismo esotérico con las figuras de Jesús y María Magdalena? Ante todo, la misoginia de la cultura judía en los tiempos bíblicos, continuada y exacerbada a lo largo del tiempo por altas personalidades de la Iglesia católica, es una de las explicaciones de la reiterada labor de tergiversación y ocultamiento del papel de la mujer en nuestra llamada "cultura occidental".
En este sentido, la acción de respetar el necesario sigilo es un ejemplo harto elocuente. Moisés, en Exodo 27, versículos 33 a 35, tras haber "escuchado" en un alto nivel iniciático, coloca sobre su rostro un velo en señal de voto de silencio y, más tarde, clásicos griegos como Herodoto, Platón, Pitágoras, Plutarco, callan en sus escritos lo que no les estaba permitido decir acerca de una religión mistérica que, basada en la sabiduría del dios egipcio Thot -el Hermes Trimegisto de los gnósticos-podía sólo transmitirse "de labios a oídos". Todo ello es correcto.
No obstante, una cosa es el silencio que se guarda de modo voluntario por razones disciplinarias y éticas y, otra, el impuesto a lo largo de los siglos a la mitad femenina de la Humanidad, escindida por el mismísimo Zeus como castigo aplicado a los Titanes en su intento de luchar contra las deidades del Olimpo. En un comienzo -y Platón lo expresa en su diálogo El Banquete (Symposio) o Del Amor por boca de Aristófanes--, el hermafroditismo que habría caracterizado a la naturaleza humana representaba, en aquella mítica fusión macho-hembra, la fuerza poderosa y unitaria del Amor, la necesidad de amalgamar ambas porciones -andro y gino, Hermes y Afrodita- en una totalidad armoniosa regida por un equilibrio tan perfecto que recordaría la sexualidad o, mejor aún, la asexualidad de los ángeles, en quienes la sublimidad de dicho sentimiento habría hecho desaparecer cualquier tipo de distinción, incluida la de género.
La realidad ha demostrado, empero, el lamentable fracaso de la aspiración unitaria e igualadora contenida en el mito. En este caso, la mujer, desprovista de voz y, por consiguiente, de voto o poder de decisión, era presentada como la imagen viva de la charlatanería, de la plática hueca, depositaria de la palabra que, transmitida por ella "de labios a oídos", lejos de sabia no era más que rumor, en síntesis, mero chismorreo.
Por razones de tiempo y de espacio no nos detendremos aquí en el análisis de la apabullada Eva que, desde el Génesis bíblico, cargó con la exclusividad de la culpa de la "caída del Adán ingenuo"... Lo cierto es -como señalaron las ponentes del XII Congreso de Teología realizado en Madrid en septiembre de 1992 en torno al problema de la marginación femenina-que la historia omite, por haberlas omitido la propia realidad, a las papisas y a las Madres de la Iglesia: La Papisa Juana, pues, no pasa de ser un personaje imaginario. La Iglesia ha tenido Padres, jamás Madres. De las reinas se han divulgado sus amoríos; sobre las mujeres destacadas en la ciencia, la literatura, el arte, la política, la religión, la sociedad en general, los comentarios han sido lacónicos, en contraposición a los extensos legajos dedicados a las arpías, gorgonas, medusas, furias, parcas, serpientes, etcétera, a cuyo verdadero significado esotérico apenas se alude.
Por los mass-media, y por los codos, se propagan los efectos nocivos del climaterio femenino; el masculino brilla por su ausencia. Las sirenas cantan y engañan, al paso que los tiburones despedazan a sus presas sin tanto alboroto. Para designar un terrible torbellino y un pavoroso escollo del estrecho de Mesina, los apelativos Escila y Caribdis -evocadores de lo femenino-parecieron idóneos a los misóginos antiguos. La esfinge edipiana, también en su versión exotérica, era monstruo-mujer, elaborado por los griegos a partir de la figura original egipcia, de esencia andrógina. La belicosa gemela de Ares, con otra perversa manzana, sembraba la discordia a modo de entretenimiento. En Latinoamérica, la legendaria Madre de Aguas se califica por lo común de agresiva y sanguinaria... La lista, una vez más, es extensa…
En nuestros días, descuella el resonante ejemplo de una injusticia histórica y simbólica que, felizmente, parece haber llegado a su fin: la vida y obra de Myriam, la de Magdala. En su libro El Legado de María Magdalena, el investigador barcelonés José Luis Giménez desenmascara con evidencias irrefutables la milenaria mentira acerca del verdadero papel de la amada discípula de Jesús, ligada a él, además, como esposa y madre de su descendencia. El Legado... contribuye a echar abajo la calumnia de la "prostituta redimida". Saca a la luz fuentes intencionalmente olvidadas o relegadas de larga data que le permiten rescatar la dignidad de la Mujer y del Amor, tanto desde el punto de vista histórico como emblemático. En pocas palabras, apuntala con firmeza los mensajes que, de manera velada, transmitieron desde épocas remotas aquellos que conocían la naturaleza inviolable del secreto.
Tal como hiciera Dan Brown en el Código da Vinci o Michael Bigent, Richard Leigh y Henry Lincoln en The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, entre muchos otros autores que han tocado este polémico asunto, José Luis Giménez ha contribuido a destapar la Caja de Pandora en cuyo fondo, bien visible, reposa la Esperanza. Porque la Verdad siempre se abrirá paso.
Iré por partes: el Santo Grial es, ante todo, un símbolo de la presencia crística en el ser humano, de su pureza, de su Realización espiritual. Para lograrlo, la comunión de los principios femenino y masculino resulta indispensable. François Bérenguer Saunière lo sabía. Este hombre singular, párroco de la Iglesia de Sta. María Magdalena en Rennes-le-Chteau, en el sur de Francia, al concebir la modificación de los retablos allí existentes, incluyó dos imágenes, una a cada lado del altar mayor, descritas y fotografiadas por José Luis Giménez en su Op. Cit.: a la derecha, la Virgen María con un niño y, a la izquierda, San José con otro niño distinto. Es decir: la polaridad que no se excluye, lo gemelar que se fusiona.
Ahora en tierras españolas, en el cisterciense Real Monasterio de Santes Creus (provincia de Tarragona), que data del siglo XII, el autor de El Legado... saca a la luz, en tal sentido, otras piezas de enorme relevancia: en la capilla de San Juan Evangelista, este aparece representado en la parte central del retablo con un aspecto incuestionablemente femenino, del mismo modo que ocurriría en el viejo Egipto con las representaciones hermafroditas de Akhenaton durante el período de Tell-el-Amarna (dinastía XVIII). Aquí, tal como señala J.L. Giménez, la intención del autor es obvia: San Juan, identificado en ocasiones con la figura de María Magdalena, tiene, como esta, largos y rizados cabellos pelirrojos, a diferencia del porte varonil con que aparece en cuadros de El Greco, de Tiziano, de Velázquez... Sin embargo, Leonardo da Vinci, conocedor del esoterismo antiguo, en particular del egipcio, supo también reflejar -y ocultar-- magistralmente lo andrógino en sus pinturas...
En los siete íconos adicionales al retablo, situados en su parte inferior, hay imágenes con pasajes bíblicos acerca de la vida de Jesús y María Magdalena que encierran una gran riqueza simbólica: además del número 7 alusivo de los plexos de energía chákrica, en uno de los íconos la Magdala aparece junto a dos criaturas gemelas, mientras que en el correspondiente a San Juan Evangelista, además del cáliz en su mano, aparece al fondo la cruz de San Andrés formada por dos árboles... el axis mundi.
Podrían hacerse numerosas lecturas deshermetizantes de este retablo realizado por un pintor anónimo a principios del siglo XVII. El dedicado a María Magdalena embarazada, llorando al pie de la cruz junto a una calavera, se analizará en párrafos posteriores.
Volvamos al tema específico del Santo Grial. En la escritura jeroglífica egipcia, la letra G era indicada por el signo que representaba un apoyo, asiento, sostén o protección de jarra, vasija, pote... O sea, el receptáculo, el recipiente, lo que recibe, símbolo -al igual que el arca y al barca-del yoni o útero que, en este caso, da cabida a la sangre que se identifica con el ens seminis, las "aguas mercuriales", la saliva, todo ello como líquido sagrado que interviene en la Suprasexualidad tántrica denominada también Ciencia Transmutatoria, Muerte Psicológica, Alquimia Sexual, Nacimiento Segundo , Gran Obra. Y si tomamos en cuenta el principio "acrofónico" aplicado por Jean-François Champollion a la escritura fonética en su labor de desciframiento de los jeroglíficos egipcios, puede inferirse que la citada letra G representada por el vaso, jarra, etc., podría aludir veladamente al Grial.
Oscar Uzcátegui, al referirse a Nut, la Madre Cósmica egipcia/Isis, señala que en su representación, "Encima de la paloma, Nut tiene un cáliz sagrado. Dicho cáliz es la copa o gomor dentro de la cual se halla contenido el maná del desierto con el cual se han alimentado todos los profetas.
"Esa copa o gomor es el yoni femenino, en el cual está contenido el vino de la sabiduría y al cual se le rendía culto en los misterios del dios Baco entre los antiguos romanos y griegos. Es una lástima que todavía la antropología y la arqueología oficiales sigan creyendo que las vestales romanas y griegas eran prostitutas que se embriagaban y practicaban orgías bebiendo vinos espumosos.
"Todo esto ha sido siempre simbólico. [El vino y el maná] (...)" Ambas cosas no vienen a ser otra que el ens seminis dentro del cual se encuentra todo el ens virtutis de la sabiduría, como lo apuntara en su tiempo el virtuoso Paracelso.
"Todo adepto sin cáliz es una blasfemia dentro de los misterios. Un sacerdote oficiando sin su cáliz es un absurdo total. El cáliz es el complemento fundamental de la lanza." En la historia de Jesús y María Magdalena hay ambas cosas: lanza y cáliz. Asimismo, en la lengua de Oc (Languedoc), nuevo escenario de la vida de la Magdala, la pronunciación del término que significa "cáliz" y "vaso" suena así... grial. El cáliz o copa que muy probablemente no fue empleado por Jesús para beber en una cena que no ocurrió en realidad, sino en el plano de la alegoría.
Desde hace siglos, La Última Cena ha sido un tema recurrente para los artistas, en especial para los pintores. Fray Angélico y Andrea del Castagno lo plasmaron en el siglo XIV, y sobre todo en la obra magistral de este, La Santa Cena , es ella, la discípula más amada de Jesús quien ocupa el centro de la composición, reclinada sobre la mesa y rodeada, en perfecta simetría bilateral, por el resto de los Apóstoles. Jesús, aquí, está sentado frente a ella al otro lado de la mesa, contemplándola, como indica la inclinación de su cabeza. En cada extremo... una copa.
Por otra parte, la copia del fresco del "Cenáculo" de Leonardo realizada por Marco de Oggiono no difiere del original, excepto en que aquí, los pies de Jesús son perfectamente visibles bajo la mesa, en particular el derecho, que avanza como considero hicieron los iniciados en los Misterios egipcios al cumplir el doble recorrido ceremonial. En otra versión del Cenáculo de Leonardo, de autor desconocido, es en extremo significativa la jarra situada frente a la figura femenina:
María Magdalena, la Myriam oriunda de Magdala es, no obstante, el personaje cuestionado y hasta denigrado de esta historia. El célebre cáliz ha sido codiciado y buscado por muchos debido a su legendaria riqueza material. Otros lo han hecho por su genuino valor emblemático, mientras que María Magdalena -tesoro en sí misma-- era presentada como la prostituta redimida por Jesús, la discípula ignorada, la mujer menospreciada, excluida, marginada como todas las demás, junto con los pobres y los extranjeros, en aquella sociedad furiosamente patriarcal.
Pero la Magdala lleva en su nombre la partícula MR, mer/mir, el signo jeroglífico egipcio que, en su polisemia, incluye la noción de Amor. De ahí su apelativo: Myriam, María...
Posee, por añadidura, un sentido que, sin duda, remite al Gran Arcano 13 del Tarot egipcio a la luz de la doctrina cabalística: El Segador, la Muerte como Transformación, lograda cuando las fuerzas polares desintegran el cuerpo físico al obtener la Realización. Y hay más, muchas más constataciones que por muy asombrosas que parezcan, rebosan de lógica esotérica. Fue así como me llegaron y así como las transmito.
¿En qué elementos baso tal asociación? La calavera que suele acompañar a María Magdalena significa la Muerte Psicológica, la aniquilación del ego bestial, la decapitación simbólica que la enlaza con San Juan Bautista. Además, las letras correspondientes a este Gran Arcano son: Mataloth (egipcia), Mem (hebrea) y M (latina). ¡La M que ojos expertos han visto dibujada con los cuerpos de Jesús y la Magdala en La Ultima Cena de Leonardo, unida con la V alusiva de la vagina, de lo femenino! Como gema, le corresponde la amatista y las piedras rojizas. Como color, las tonalidades rojas. En el mundo espiritual, la destrucción y la renovación. En el intelectual, el ascenso del espíritu a esferas divinas. El signo zodiacal, Aries, promesa de inmortalidad que en mi criterio la asocia directamente con Jesús, el carnero de Dios. En la Alquimia, es la Transmutación, el flujo de los opuestos polares , o sea, el ya explicado simbolismo gemelar.
En este análisis, "debe tenerse presente que el signo zodiacal Aries encarna la cabeza de un carnero y evoca la fuente de vida o el brote que florece en el equinoccio de primavera. (...) Géminis (...) es el dualismo, la dualidad de los gemelos; y la representación de Virgo ´se basa en la letra hebrea mem y en el símbolo fenicio que significa pescado, convertido en épocas tempranas en signo representativo de Jesús y del misterio de su nacimiento virginal´. . El símbolo del pez, cargado de sentido espiritual en el esoterismo antiguo, derivaría de su condición de primer animal de la Creación dotado de espinazo, reflejo del raquis humano.
Todo encaja. Mucho más cuando se lee que la función humana que compete a este Gran Arcano 13 es la del sentido del gusto. Porque la noción de gusto, de paladar, evoca alimentos, comida: la simbólica hogaza de pan que ya en los jeroglíficos egipcios, como letra T, era un signo determinativo del género femenino. En este contexto: el principio yin (ostia) que, fusionado con el masculino yang (vino/sangre), observamos unidos en la Eucaristía en calidad de hierogamos, las Bodas de Canaán. De ahí, pues, la reunión de Jesús con sus apóstoles en una Ultima Cena como acto de despedida ante su próxima "Muerte", transmutación obtenida gracias al Amor de su esposa y discípula. Insisto, todo encaja.
Y a este enfoque deshermetizante del principio femenino encarnado por María Magdalena, agrego mi lectura del controvertido puñal que empuña "una mano desprovista de cuerpo" en dicha escena: es su propia mano, la mano derecha de Myriam la de Magdala quien esgrime el cuchillo , --utilizado emblemáticamente en los Misterios iniciáticos egipcios-como prueba del aniquilamiento de los yoes bestiales: .
Como vemos, la escritura jeroglífica vuelve a arrojar luz sobre el significado de esta acción: en el arte esotérico del Antiguo Egipto era común encontrar brazos extendidos en actitud de dar, presentar, esgrimir o portar algún tipo de ofrenda, todo ello con diversas connotaciones, v.g.: . . Así lo explica también Christian Jacq al analizar el acto de dar, de ofrecer, expresando que, para los egipcios, mientras más largos eran los brazos y las manos, mayor era la ofrenda. Y la de Magdala lo era, lo es, lo será. De ahí que el personaje a su derecha eleve a la altura del pecho las dos palmas de las manos con el mismo sentido que dicho gesto posee en la escritura jeroglífica egipcia: "adorar".
El Legado de María Magdalena, por tanto, me indicó los caminos a seguir, los lugares donde -como hizo su autor José Luis Giménez-- debía hurgar con lupa y escalpelo para elaborar conjeturas verosímiles que contribuyesen a ratificar sus conclusiones, que sentí ciertas en todo momento. La verdad finalmente se ha abierto paso. Myriam la de Magdala es símbolo y también historia.

1. Hechos 28:11: Pasados tres meses, nos hicimos a la vela en una nave alejandrina que había invernado en la isla, la cual tenía por enseña a Cástor y Pólux. |

Géminis una constelación de gemelos llamados Cástor y Pólux, dos estrellas que sobresalen entre las demás en luminosidad y magnitud.
La constelación de Géminis, famosa por sus gemelos, los llamados Cástor el que en el cielo se encuentra mas al norte y es de color blanco y Pólux el que es de un tono mas bien anaranjado, están situados al nordeste de Orión. Se dice que en enero a media noche, el el cielo del hemisferio norte, se puede observar muy bien la figura de los gemelos, dos grandes estrellas de primera magnitud.
En la mitología griega a Cástor y Pólux, se les ve como los Dioscuros, hijos vástagos de Zeus, después de que este tomara la forma de un cisne para seducir a Leda, la reina de Esparta. Se dice que los gemelos destacaron Cástor como jinete y Pólux en la lucha, que sentían una gran devoción el uno por el otro y que Zeus les reservo en el cielo un lugar con las estrellas, dando vida a dos de ellas, que son las que mas brillan en esta región. Además Poseidón, el dios de los océanos les regalo un don, el de poder salvar al que se encontrara navegando por el mar, es por eso que en algunos navíos, aparecen en lo alto del mástil este símbolo.
En la constelación de Géminis, la figura de los gemelos aparecen distinta, en las distintas culturas. Por ejemplo los mayas los representaban como dos pecaríes copulando. Los romanos los asociaban a Rómulo y Remo, los fundadores de Roma. Los árabes los dibujaban bajo la forma de dos pavos reales, los que perduraron hasta finales de la Edad Media.
En astrología, a Géminis como signo, se le suele asociar a los funcionarios, a los estudiosos, a los profesores, poetas, historiadores, a los que necesitan crear, trabajar, llevar un negocio…, por la relación que tiene con el Planeta Mercurio, el de la comunicación y gran intelecto.

Simeón y Leví fueron agrupados como los Gemelos, Géminis. Dado que habían matado a muchos hombres cuando vengaron la violación de su hermana, Jacob profetizó que se dispersarían entre las otras tribus y que perderían sus propios dominios. Judá fue comparado con un León (Leo) y visto como el poseedor del cetro real, una predicción de la realeza de Judea.

Gemelos
El Nacional, 5/5/2000
Hace un par de semanas murió el abuelo de los morochos Ricardi en una Clínica de San Bernardino. Durante los doce días que duró en agonía, una de sus nietas se mantuvo en vela, anotando cuidadosamente las confesiones que el viejo no quería llevarse al más allá. El viejo napolitano, duro, parco, atormentado por los secretos podía ahora morir en plena liviandad.
Sus revelaciones estremecieron a la familia, como era de esperarse. Pero una de las más conmovedoras se refería a los morochos, Mario y Mauro, cuyas vidas se habían regido por el signo de Cáncer y ahora tendrían que adaptarse al de Géminis. Nacieron hace 35 años, un día como hoy, de inicio de temporada zodiacal, en un parto cruel que les dejó sin madre. El abuelo y el padre, desconsolados, los registraron un mes después cambiándoles la fecha de nacimiento y entregándolos a la égida numinosa de Cáncer.
Este acto familiar de naturaleza elegíaca no pudo ocultar sin embargo la condición mercurial, comunicativa, dual, de los morochos geminianos. Mario se fue a Margarita hace muchos años a contemplar los cielos de Juan Griego, enredado en los misterios de su inconsistencia zodiacal, de la que no tenía la menor noticia. Mauro se entregó a los negocios de la comunicación y la publicidad, menesteres ajenos a la introspección mágica, a la superstición y el misterio, que le aconsejaba su horóscopo semanal.
Gemelos idénticos, temibles, de esos que se desvelan a dúo, que adquieren gripes simultáneas, que se enamoran y desenamoran en actos paralelos y simétricos, se han entregado ahora, en un concierto a cuatro manos, a recuperar los pedazos de su cosmogonía perdida. Hablan todo el día de Cástor y Pólux, de Rómulo y Remo, de Jacob y Esaú, del ojo solar y el ojo lunar de Horus, el halcón. Pero, peor que eso, cuando tienden la vista sobre lo que les rodea, encuentran «gemelidad» por todas partes.
Una aldea de gemelos
Nada más intrigante y extraño que estos gemelos biológicos. Inspiran temor o cierta reverencia. No en balde la historia de la humanidad les ha rendido culto o los ha difamado. El encuentro con ellos crea siempre una atmósfera insólita o, cuando menos, embarazosa. Lo hemos corroborado en los días de duelo que siguieron al velorio del viejo Ricardi.
Conversador insaciable, Mauro se ha lanzado a celebrar su nueva condición de geminiano cabal, descendiente de Hermes, con respuestas para todo. Se ha reconciliado con Adriana Azzi y lee en retrospectiva su horóscopo en las ediciones pasadas de Todo en Domingo. «Con razón, dice, nunca la pegaba, estaba leyendo el horóscopo equivocado».
Mario, por su parte, menos parlanchin pero más intenso, nos trató de explicar que todos somos dualidad: «Unión de opuestos» y «unión de idénticos». En el día somos uno y en la noche podemos ser otro, como Cástor y Pólux, el sol y la luna, ambos poderes en uno solo. Dos en uno.
Mauro lo interrumpe. «Demasiado esotérico para mí. Déjate de eso», le espeta al hermano. «Gemelos son Arias y Chávez, harina de un mismo costal, hijos de Marte. Gemelos son los del MVR y los del PPT, hijos de una misma ideología, separados momentáneamente por unos cargos y unas ambiciones. Aunque pueden matarse como Rómulo mató a Remo ».
—No hay que llegar a esos extremos para reconocer la dualidad que nos habita —concluyó Mario— No hay sino que ver a esos intelectuales y empresarios que por la mañana son privatizadores, globalizadores, creadores de ADR en la Bolsa de Nueva York, y apenas caen las sombras de la tarde se convierten en nacionalistas a todo trapo, abjuran de la internacionalización y del mercado de capitales. Y viceversa.
—Sí —dijo la nieta—, vivimos en una aldea de gemelos.
Y siguió rezando por el abuelo, primaveral y mentiroso. |

Gemini The Twins
GEMINI THE TWINS
And starry Gemini hang like growing crowns,
Over Orion's grave low down in the west.
Tennyson's Maud.
The ancient Chaldeans, and eastern nations generally, knew nothing of the zodiacal sign we call Gemini, or the Twins, although these stars have always been regarded as twins from remote antiquity. Instead of twin brothers, however, the ancients imagined these stars represented two Kids. There was a significance in this title quite apart from its relation to the herds that they were daily concerned with. We see in this region of the sky three ancient and important constellations named after domestic animals that figured prominently in the pastoral life of early times, the Ram, the Bull, and the Kids. Pluche tells us that "in the reproduction of species among the herds familiar to primitive man, the first produced in the vernal season are the lambs, then come the calves, and later the kids, so that it was natural that the ancients who devised the constellations should characterize in this order the three constellations through which the sun passed in the vernal season."
Brown considers that the constellations were designed to perpetuate the stories in which the ancients dramatized their conception of solar and lunar relations. He holds that Gemini is a stellar representation of the great Twin Brethren of the sky, the sun and the moon, who join in building a mysterious city. Although hostile to each other, they work together, and are only seen together by day.
In that interesting book by Maunder, entitled The Astronomy of the Bible, we are told that on the Babylonian monuments and boundary stones, the most ancient records extant, there appears a set of symbols repeated over and over again, and always given a position of prominence. It is the so-called "Triad of Stars," a crescent lying on its back and two stars near it. The significance of this symbol is now clear. Four thousand years before the Christian era, the two stars Castor and Pollux, Alpha and Beta Geminorum respectively, served as indicators of the first new moon of the year, just as the star Capella did two thousand years later. The "Triad of Stars" then is simply a picture of what men saw year after year in the sunset sky, at the beginning of the first month 6000 years ago. It is the earliest record of an astronomical event that has come down to us. Plunket says that the early astronomers who mapped out the zodiac, noticing that the equinoctial colure in 6000 B.C. passed the two bright stars Castor and Pollux, chose to represent them as marking the heads of twin figures, which they determined should symbolize the equal day and night of the season over which they presided. Thousands of years after these two stars had ceased to mark the equinox, they were still associated by the Greeks with the twin heroes Castor and Pollux, brothers, who according to the legend were " possessed of an immortality of existence so divided among them that as one dies the other revives."
The learned Dr. Barrett has pointed out that this furnishes a complete description of day and night, a simile that is especially interesting if we attribute the first symbolising of day and night by these stars to the work of astronomers at a date when the days and nights these stars symbolised were exactly of equal length, and when therefore the equally bright stars and equal alternations of light and darkness might both be fitly symbolised as twins.
The Latin title " Gemini " by which we know the constellation dates only from classical times. Burritt gives the following mythological history of the constellation: " Castor and Pollux were twin brothers, sons of Jupiter, by Leda, the wife of Tyndarus, Bang of Sparta. They were educated at Pallena, and afterwards embarked with Jason in the celebrated contest for the golden fleece at Colchis, on which occasion they behaved with unparalleled courage. Pollux distinguished himself by his achievements in arms and personal prowess, and was a famous pugilist. Castor was superior in equestrian exercises, and the management of horses. The Twins are represented in the temples of Greece, on white horses, armed with spears, riding side by side." Among the ancients, and particularly among the Romans, there prevailed a superstition that Castor and Pollux often appeared at the head of their armies, and led on their troops to battle and victory.
The gods who live for ever
Have fought for Rome today,
These be the great Twin Brethren
To whom the Dorians pray.
Back comes the chief in triumph
Who, in the hour of fight,
Hath seen the great Twin Brethren
In harness on his right.
Macaulay.
Castor and Pollux were a common object of adjuration among the Romans, and the slang of the present day , "By Jiminy, " is a survival of the old Roman oath. As guardians of Rome the Twins were inscribed on the Roman silver coins. The "Pence" of the good Samaritan bore their figures, where they were represented as two horsemen. They also appear on coin types of as early date as from 431 to 370 B.C.
Virgil thus writes concerning these illustrious Twins:
Castor and Pollux first in martial force,
One bold on foot, and one renowned for horse.
And Martial in like vein:
Castor alert to tame the foaming steed
And Pollux strong to deal the manly deed.
After returning from Colchis the brothers waged a successful war against the pirates who infested the Hellespont, from which circumstance they have ever since been regarded as " the sailor's stars, " and the friends and protectors of navigation. It is related that Neptune had rewarded their brotherly love by giving them power over wind and wave, that they might assist the shipwrecked.
Safe comes the ship to Haven
Through billows and through gales,
If once the great Twin Brethren
Set shining on the sails.
Macaulay
In the Argonautic expedition, during a violent storm, it is said two flames of fire, "St. Elmo" or "St. Helen's light, " were seen to play around the heads of Castor and Pollux, and immediately the tempest ceased, and the sea was calm. In honour of the Twins, these lights were some- times known as "Ledean lights," and sailors believed that whenever both fires appeared in the sky, it would be fair weather, but when only one appeared, there would be storms.
In the Odes of Horace, Mr. Gladstone's translation, we read:
So Leda's twins, bright shining, at their beck
Oft have delivered stricken barks from wreck.
Homer in his Hymn to Castor and Pollux thus alludes to their supposed influence over the sea:
These are the Powers who earth-born mortals save
And ships, whose flight is swift along the wave
When wintry tempests o'er the savage sea
Are raging, and the sailors tremblingly
Call on the Twins of Jove with prayer and vow,
Gathered in fear upon the lofty prow,
And sacrifice with snow-white lambs, the wind
And the huge billow bursting close behind,
Even then beneath the weltering waters bear
The staggering ship -they suddenly appear,
On yellow wings rushing athwart the sky,
And lull the blasts in mute tranquillity,
And strew the waves on the white ocean's bed,
Fair omen of the voyage; from toil and dread
The sailors rest, rejoicing in the sight, A
nd plough the quiet sea in safe delight.
Shelley's translation.
The appearance of the Twins, Castor and Pollux, was hailed as the harbinger of fair summer weather, and they were symbolised by the figure of two stars over a ship. In the Acts of the Apostles we read that St. Paul sailed from Malta to Syracuse in an Alexandrian ship whose sign was Castor and Pollux, and among the Romans it was very common to place the effigies of the Twins in the prows of vessels.
Castor and Pollux became enamoured of the betrothed daughters of Leucippus, brother of Tyndarus, and resolved to supplant their rivals. A battle ensued, in which Castor killed Lynceus, and was himself killed by Idas. Pollux there- upon killed Idas, but being himself immortal, and most tenderly attached to his brother, he was unwilling to survive him. He therefore besought Jupiter to restore Castor to life. Jupiter granted his request, and made Castor immortal. Consequently as long as one was upon earth, so long was the other detained in the infernal regions, and they thus alternately lived and died every day.
As Homer puts it
By turns they visit this etherial sky,
And live alternate and alternate die.
This idea bears out the alternation of daylight and darkness, and the analogy between the days and nights of equal duration before mentioned. Jupiter further rewarded their fraternal attachment by changing them both into a constellation, under the name of "Gemini," the Twins, which it is strangely pretended never appear together, but when one rises the other sets, and so on alternately. Castor and Pollux were worshipped both by the Greeks and Romans, who sacrificed white lambs upon their altars to them. In the Hebrew zodiac the constellation of the Twins refers to the tribe of Benjamin; and according to Dr. Seiss, the Gemini represented the mystic union of Christ and His redeemed. Schiller regarded the constellation as representing St. James the Elder. The Egyptians represented the Twins as the two gods, Horus, the Elder, and the Younger, and strangely enough also regarded them as Two Sprouting Plants. The Gemini have also been called "David and Jonathan," "Adam and Eve," "the Twin Sons of Rebecca," Jacob and Esau. The Eskimos recognise in Castor and Pollux the two door-stones of an igloo, the name for their snow huts.
The Arabs regarded these twin stars as two Peacocks, and on the Euphratean star list they appear as " the Great Twins, " and " the Heaven and Earth Pair."
Allen tells us that in India they always were prominent as "the Aswins," or "Horsemen," a name also found in other parts of the sky for other Hindu twin deities. A Buddhist zodiac had in their place a woman holding a golden cord. Castor and Pollux were regarded as twins by the Assyrians, Babylonians, and the aborigines of the South Pacific Islands. In Australia they were called "the Young Men." The South African Bushmen on the contrary called them "the Young Women, the wives of the eland," their great antelope. Gemini, the Twins 207 There appear on the Peruvian star chart of Salcamayhua two figures that resemble the Gemini, and one of the symbols for the Twins was a Pile of Bricks, referring to the building of the first city.
Astrologically considered, this constellation was most favorably regarded, portending genius, goodness, and liberality. It is of the House of Mercury and its native will be tall and straight, with dark eyes, brown hair, and active ways; in character versatile, contradictory, and unselfish. It governs the arms and shoulders and rules over the south-west parts of England, America, Flanders, and Lombardy. It is the ruling sign for those born between May 20th and June 21st. The flower is the May- flower or trailing arbutus, and the gem, the beryl. In the early Chinese solar zodiac this constellation figured as "the Ape," and the Chinese astrologers claimed that if Gemini was invaded by Mars, war and a poor harvest would ensue. Aristotle has left an interesting record of the occultation at two different times of some of the stars of Gemini, by the planet Jupiter, the earliest observations of this nature of which we have knowledge, and made probably about the middle of the fourth century B.C. No reference to Castor and Pollux would be complete without quoting Mrs. Martin's tribute to them in The Friendly Stars: "The constellation Gemini is the third spring sign of the zodiac, and it is easy to see how the mere beauty of its chief stars, Castor and Pollux, may have fastened upon it the reputation of responsibility for the beautiful weather that comes early in June. At this season of the year position, atmosphere, and surroundings all combine to enhance the beauty and accentuate the individuality of these two beautiful stars. ... In a comparatively starless environment the twin stars, beloved of sailors, dominate the western sky and shine side by side like two eyes benignly set to keep a protecting watch upon the world. It is not the sailor alone whose fancy is pleased with the kindly vigil they seem to keep. A landsman, too, may have pleasanter dreams if he will but peep through the western window and exchange friendly glances with them before settling down for the night."
Pollux is now the brighter of the two stars, although three hundred years ago, Castor was probably the lucida of the constellation. Castor is a beautiful star, in fact Sir John Herschel called it the largest and finest of all the double stars in our hemisphere. In a three- inch telescope with a power of ninety diameters, these twin suns present a charming appearance. This is a binary system, with a period somewhere between 250 and 1000 years. According to Allen this star is approaching the earth at the rate of 18.5 miles a second, while Pollux is receding from us at the rate of one mile each second. Pollux is fifty-four light years distant, and is one of the stars much used in navigation in taking lunar observations. In astrology it was a fortunate star, portending eminence and renown.
The Twin Stars are 4.5° apart and this distance was known to the Arabs as "the Ell," a measure of length. In reality Pollux is two hundred trillions of miles farther from us than Castor. There is only eleven minutes differ- ence in the time of culmination of Castor and Pollux, so they may both be regarded as on the meridian at 9 p.m., Feb. 24th.
Gamma e Xi Geminorum represented to the Arabs the brand made by a hot iron on the neck of a camel, also the star which shines with a sharp light. Delta Geminorum is a double star, known to the Arabs as " Wasat, " meaning the " Middle, " i. e. of the constellation, says Allen. The Chinese called it " Ta Tsun, " the Great Wine Jar." Just north of this star is the radiant point of the meteors known as "the Geminids," visible early in October. Epsilon and Zeta Germinorum bear respectively the Arab names "Mebsuta" and "Mekbuda." According to Allen Eta Geminorum bears the name of "Propus." On Burritt's map this star name is given to a fifth magnitude star a few degrees south and west of Eta. Eta is noted as marking the locality where Sir William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus, on the 13th of March, 1781. He thought at first that it was a comet, and reported it as such. Maskelyne, however, suspected its planetary nature, and the succeeding year it was announced as a new planet by Lexell and La Place. "Continental astronomers designated the planet as 'Herschel" and we find this title in text-books as late as fifty years ago. Bode suggested the present title Uranus, to conform to the mythological nomenclature of the other planets, and because the name of the oldest god was especially applicable to the oldest, the most distant body then known to our system."

TRACING THE SUN THROUGH THE ZODIAC & GEMINI...COULD THIS BE THE ORIGIN FOR THE "JESUS STORY" #7
GEMINI & JESUS: MAY 21-JUNE 21
We ended the last article looking at the correlations between the "Jesus Story" in the New Testament and the path of the Sun through the Zodiac, in particular the constellation Taurus as it parallels the depiction of the "Jesus Story" taken chronologically throughout the New Testaments' depiction of Jesus Christ. We have traced the "Jesus Story" not only through the Heavens as it parallels the path of the Sun through the Zodiac when "personified" and "allegorized" but have seen the genius of the Creator to inscribe upon the Heavens above His will for mankind and their "Spiritual Evolution". We have traced the Sun through the previous Houses of the Zodiac and when "personified" and with the aid of "anthropomorphic" language we have seen how the "Evolution of the Soul in matter" has been told through the "myths" and "legends" of sungods. The irony of this whole thing is that the "Jesus Story" is the story of the birth, life, growth, and death of the Soul in this physical realm we call "life". This "Jesus Story" is a "plan-o-gram" for mankind to follow and emulate as were many of the prior "sungod" stories as well. We have seen beginning with Capricorn that man was born into this physical world with the necessity of a "2nd birth" which is symbolized as we move to the House of Aquarius where we find the symbolic immersion into a "watery womb" or a "watery tomb" in baptism where as Judaism teaches man receives the "Soul that comes down from Heaven" and is "born again". We saw that this imagery of being "born again in water" is accompanied with "repentance" as seen in the immersion of John the Baptist and his "baptism of repentance". We saw that the language of John is very important as he lays out the desired growth of man's Soul; for it must increase as the power of his flesh decreases. We immediately move from this even in our spiritual growth to a full-blown war with our soul as we must fight the "darkness" within seen in the allegory of "Jesus' Temptation" with the Devil. This is but a picture of the Sun and its eternal battle with "darkness" again symbolized in the "Jesus Story" in Jesus' temptation where the "spirit" and "flesh" battle continuously. The Soul is intended to increase in strength over our flesh as we live out our lives and continually reflect more of the light of God daily as does the Sun in it new ascending path in the Heavens. We saw as we moved to Pisces that as we grow "spiritually" we must feed ourselves "the bread that comes down from Heaven" before we can feed others and become "fishers of men". Thus the symbolism of Pisces which stresses again the need for this bread due to the "intersection" in Heaven of these "two fish" or "2 natures in man; spiritual and fleshly". As we live a life of repentance unto good works we accomplish such a goal when fed the true "manna" of God. We then followed God's Sun into the Constellation of Aries where we first met up with the idea of "sacrifice" in relationship to the Lamb of God. We learned from this that God was teaching us that we are to become "living sacrifices", holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service while at the same time we are not conformed to this world continue to be transformed by the renewing of our minds in order that we might prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:1-2...KJV). We next found ourselves at the Spring Equinox were we learned that this is a special time with God and man which speaks God's Harmony and peace to all Creation. We also learned that this is the Harvest time when the Earth brings forth her fruit. We made note of the need for our fruit in our lives that comes through good works and obedience to the Commandments of God were according to Judaism we find and receive our atonement. As living sacrifices according to the Hebrew Scriptures we accomplish our own atonement. As we moved with the Sun into the Constellation of Taurus we saw the repeated emphasis upon "sacrifice" and continued fruitfulness on a large scale; a scale large enough to reach the world with this true message of maturation of man's Soul. We camped a little while here as we contrasted the Houses of Aries and Taurus for parallels between them and the unbelievable similarities between the "personified Sun" as "Mithra" and as "Jesus" in the New Testament. We move must move on with the Sun as it never sleeps and move with it into the House of Gemini and learn the next "Spiritual Lesson" that God has for us as we learn of the maturation of the Divine within matter; ie., our Souls.
Now we continue to go more deeply as we trace the Sun in its path through the Zodiac as it leaves Taurus and enters the constellation of Gemini. We by now are familiar with the astronomical concept that the Sun goes on a journey through the Zodiac during the 12 months of the year. We have been following this journey of the Sun and we have seen how uncannily the path of the Sun through the Zodiac matches up with the chronological depiction of "Jesus" and the journey that Jesus takes during his life and ministry as depicted by the writers of the New Testament. We have seen that according to the writers of the Synoptic Gospels that Jesus' ministry is said to last a year. We have also seen that the Sun completes its circuit of the Zodiac in a year. This is not a coincidence. We now look at the constellation Gemini to see the continuing struggle of the Sun against the darkness and note the parallels to the depiction of Jesus and his ministry as recorded in the New Testament.
The constellation of Gemini has been seen as twin figures by cultures throughout the world, back into prehistory. The 'Two Stars', referring to its very bright suns, which the Greeks recognized as Castor and Polydeuces, were named for the younger and elder forms of the god Horus by the Egyptians. To the Romans they were Hercules and Apollo. Often perceived as twin boys, the lore sustains that they were placed in the night sky by Jove to honor and exemplify the fidelity of their brotherly love. In other instances they were seen as a sister and brother or two angels, then within later Christian traditions, as Adam and Eve.
Stories of hero twins are also related throughout the world. For the Greeks their was Castor and Polydeuces, also known as the Dioscuri, or Heavenly Twins. They were the children of Zeus and Leda, queen of Sparta (yes...you may call them: 'sons of the swan.'), thus also the brothers to the infamous Helen, late of Troy. The exploits of these twins are many, and all heroic. In their youth they sailed with Jason to retrieve the Golden Fleece. To the Romans, who knew them as Castor and Pollux, the twins were invoked on the field of battle to assure victory. For centuries beyond they were held as guardians to sailors on extended or risky voyages.
LETS LEARN SOME ASTRONOMY BEFORE WE LOOK AT THE THEOLOGY
We have not up to this time spent a lot of time with the Summer Solstice but our time has come as we find the Sun struggling to rise to the zenith of its path across the Heavens where it will eventually reach the apex of its path which is the Summer Solstice. Let us not forget the Sun, since raised from the dead at the Winter solstice has been ascending in the Sky on its way to its zenith. Associated with this path of the Sun across the Sky is the constellation Gemini. The constellation Gemini is traditionally depicted as two men (the twins). The two brightest stars in Gemini, Castor and Pollux (north of the bright star Procyon in Canis Minor), are two of the brightest stars in the sky and were identified by the Greeks with two children, in most accounts the twin sons of Zeus and Leda. As indicated by the "twins of Gemini" this is a time of increasing or doubling as the Sun reaches onward to its zenith. This path of the Sun to its zenith in the Sky ends on the Summer solstice when days are the longest and nights the shortest. It is at this time that the Sun is at the peak of its strength. In the northern hemisphere the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year (near June 22) when the Sun is farthest north. The Summer solstice is the longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum for the year. It is the time of the greatest light. The dates of maximum tilt of the Earth's equator correspond to the Summer solstice and Winter solstice, and the dates of zero tilt to the Vernal equinox and Autumnal equinox. People around the world have observed spiritual and religious seasonal days of celebration during the month of June. Most have been religious holy days which are linked in some way to the Summer solstice. On this day, typically Jun 21, the daytime hours are at a maximum in the Northern hemisphere, and night time is at a minimum. It is officially the first day of summer.
Let us not forget that the seasons of the year are caused by the 23.5º tilt of the earth's axis. Because the earth is rotating like a top or gyroscope, the North Pole points in a fixed direction continuously -- towards a point in space near the North Star. But the earth is also revolving around the Sun. During half of the year, the southern hemisphere is more exposed to the Sun than is the northern hemisphere. During the rest of the year, the reverse is true.  At noontime in the Northern Hemisphere the Sun appears high in the sky during summertime, and low during winter. As mentioned above the time of the year when the Sun reaches its maximum elevation occurs on the Summer solstice -- the day with the greatest number of daylight hours. On the Summer Solstice, which occurs on June 21, the Sun is at its highest path through the sky and the day is the longest. Because the day is so long the Sun does not rise exactly in the east, but rises to the north of east and sets to the north of west allowing it to be in the sky for a longer period of time. After the Summer solstice the Sun follows a lower and lower path through the sky each day until it reaches the point where it is in the sky for exactly 12 hours again. This is the Fall or Autumn Equinox. Just like the Spring Equinox, the Sun will rise exactly east and set exactly west on this day and everyone in the world will experience a 12 hour day. After the Fall Equinox the Sun will continue to follow a lower and lower path through the sky and the days will grow shorter and shorter until it reaches its lowest path and then we are back at the Winter Solstice where we started.
The Summer solstice typically occurs on, or within a day or two of, Jun. 21 which is the first day of summer. The lowest elevation occurs about Dec. 21 and is the Winter solstice which is the first day of winter, when the night time hours reach their maximum. We get the word "Solstice", from the Latin for "Sun stands still", in astronomy, either of the two points on the ecliptic that lie midway between the equinoxes (separated from them by an angular distance of 90°). For several days before and after each solstice the Sun appears to stand still in the sky, i.e., its noontime elevation does not seem to change from day to day. At the solstices the sun's apparent position on the celestial sphere reaches its greatest distance above or below the celestial equator, about 23 1/2° of arc. At the time of Summer solstice, about June 22, the Sun is directly overhead at noon at the Tropic of Cancer.
Now that the technical information is out of the way we now focus on the fact that in pre-historic times, Summer was a joyous time of the year for those Ancient people who lived in the northern latitudes. The snow had disappeared; the ground had thawed out; warm temperatures had returned; flowers were blooming; leaves had returned to the deciduous trees. Some herbs could be harvested, for medicinal and other uses. Food was easier to find. This is the time of the first harvest, which usually consisted of the herbs planted during the Vernal Equinox. Other crops had already been planted and would be harvested in the months to come. Although many months of warm/hot weather remained before the fall, they noticed that the days were beginning to shorten, so that the return of the cold season was inevitable. Midsummer has been one of the important solar events throughout the evolution of humankind. It was an indicator that the year was about to begin waning, thus winter would be again returning. Although not all the ancients were as precise in the calculations from an astronomical point, you can be sure that they were keenly aware of the Sun's progression, and did most assuredly know when Solstice was upon them, as the Sun appeared to stand still in its northern progression.
The ancients knew that life came from the Sun, it was life giving, life supporting, without it life would be lost. The Sun was viewed as the Ancient's "Savior" of sorts. The journey of the Sun impacted life at every level in the course of time, only relatively recently with the advances of electricity, greenhouses, transportation networks, has human reliance on the passage of the Sun been lessened. Even with this dependence lessening, in this technological age, necessity of the Sun and its path is crucial to our existence, however it is not as apparent today to many. Midsummer is the time when the Sun reaches the peak of its power, the earth is green and holds the promise of a bountiful harvest.
NOW SOME THEOLOGY
We say in the previous article that Jesus, in the form of the personified Sun, passed through Taurus and in so doing likewise passed across the Milky Way which is that starry band of millions of stars that lies like a lake across the sky. We saw that at this point in the "Jesus Story" Jesus crosses "the lake" and we as expected found the allegorical story of Jesus walking on water.
Answer for yourself: What happens as the Sun moves past Taurus and the Milky Way?
On the star map provided I want the reader to look to the bottom right and locate the "Hyades" which is part of the Constellation of Taurus. If you draw a diagonal line ascending from bottom right to upper left you come to another Constellation named Gemini. This path between the "Hyades" in Taurus and ascending to Gemini is called the "Ecliptic" and this is the path of the Sun as it moves through the Zodiac in the Heavens. In our study it is important to note as seen in the reference above Sun crossing the "water" or "milky way" in the Heavens which is later retold in the "personified Jesus Story" as Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee and walking on water. After the Sun crosses the Milky Way it moves into the constellation Gemini called "the twins" Castor and Pollox (the two bright stars in Gemini are named Castor and Pollux).
Answer for yourself: What do we find Jesus doing in the gospels right after crossing the lake? We find an account of Jesus healing the sick but how many? How many people is Jesus healing? He is only healing "two".
If our premise holds we should expect to find Jesus associated with "two" (Castor and Pollox) people and that is exactly what we find. In the "Jesus Story", after crossing the lake (which we saw was Jesus as the personified Sun crossing the Milky Way), Jesus heals two demon possessed men.
Matt 8:28-34 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. (KJV)
Answer for yourself: Does the New Testament mention Castor and Pollux? It sure does
Answer for yourself: Is this just a coincidence that Jesus meets two men that need to be healed or is this again symbolic for the constellation Gemini as the Sun moves through the Zodiac?
Acts 28:11 11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. (KJV)
We made mention earlier of the connection of the Harvest with this time of the year around Summer when the Sun enters Gemini. This is a time of increase or doubling as the Sun continually rises in the Sky to its Zenith and its peak of strength. This is especially so noting the connection of Shavuot, or Pentecost, with the sign of Gemini. In Matt. 12:1 we find Jesus and his disciples going through the fields full of grain plucking the heads of grain to eat. As you can see the seasons are advancing.
Matt 12:1 1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. (KJV)
We find in the "Jesus Story" the masterful strength portrayed by Jesus in his teachings where he pronounces that like the Sun his strength is without limit and beyond contest:
Matt 12:8 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (KJV)
No one can challenge Jesus and win or try to usurp his power for none can win for we find Jesus in all his glory and majesty in his ministry portrayed at this time which is keeping in symbolism of the Sun moving to its Zenith where its light is at its greatest. This great power of the "personified Sun" in the allegory of the "Jesus Story" is seen in Jesus ability to control the "darkness of the physical realm" as witnessed in the many accounts of the miracles of Jesus over "demons" in the New Testament. Let us not forget what we previously learned about the "Devil" being "personified darkness".
Matt 12:22 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Matt 12:23-24 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (KJV) |

Answer for yourself: Is Jesus being challenged by these evil Pharisees accurate to Jewish theology and Jewish history? No not really as we show in other articles where Jesus was likewise supposedly challenged by the Pharisees for healing on the Sabbath and eating of the Sabbath. Jewish law allows for both healing on the Sabbath as well as plucking and eating grain on the Sabbath when one's life is endangered and we find Jesus in the text fleeing from Herod Antipas. This action would be perfectly permissible by Jewish Law but the writers of the New Testament had to show the opposition to Jesus and did so by misrepresenting the Pharisees. This dualism between light and darkness and it constant and eternal struggle is pictured in these false representations of the Pharisees.
We mentioned previously that at the Solstices, both the Winter and the Summer Solstices, the earth's tilt reaches it maximum and begins to retrograde and along with this it appear that the Earth has remained motionless or "dead" once again in 3 years. In keeping with the parallel of the personification of the Sun and the life and evolution of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament we should expect to find at this particular time in the ministry of Jesus some reference to "death for 3 days".
Answer for yourself: Do we find such a reference in sequence to the events in the life of this Jesus as found in the Gospel account of a death for 3 days? We sure do!
Matt 12:38-40 38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (KJV)
Here we find, in sequential order in the Gospels mind you, Jesus' reference to the Summer Solstice and the 3 days of death of Jonas where he is in the belly of the big fish. This teaching of Jesus occurs when the Sun is in Gemini which is the time of the Summer Soltice. This death of Jonas is likened by Jesus to his own coming death at the next Solstice which is 6 months away, the Winter Solstice, were like Jonas he will remain dead for 3 days like the Sun is dead for 3 days before being resurrected again.
Answer for yourself: Is this just a lucky coincidence that when the Sun remains "dead" in the Heavens and Sky for 3 days, at the Summer and Winter Solstice, we find Jonas dead for 3 days and later Jesus dead 3 days?
We find associated with this event the challenge of those bad Pharisees that seem to be constantly challenging Jesus in the "Jesus Story" just like the Sun is constantly challenged by the darkness continually in its rise to its zenith of strength at the Summer solstice in Gemini.
John 3:19-21 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (KJV)
Jesus, as the personified Sun, conquers the evil of the religious leaders of Israel. This shows his greater strength over his adversaries just like the Sun shows its maximum strength in rising to its zenith in the Sky at the Summer solstice. But we are not finished yet.
Answer for yourself: Are there more contests of strength over darkness that are associated with this sabbath account in the New Testament? Yes there is.
Jesus, as the personified Sun, again shows his unbeatable power over demons as he cures a man with withered hand in Matt.12:9-14.
Matt 12:9-14 9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. 11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. (KJV)
Again we have a Sabbath account where to those not familiar with Judaism it appears that healing on the Sabbath is a crime. Not so. The only deeds prohibited on the Sabbath as types of "work" not allowed are those categories of work associated with the building of the Temple and "healing the sick" is not one of them. Again we have the tragic misrepresentation of Judaism as a harsh religion when it is not but at the same time the Pharisees are made to appear evil when they were not.
Answer for yourself: What lies behind these unhistorical accounts?
More to the point we find the eternal struggle of light versus darkness in this depiction just like we find in the path of the Sun in its rise to its zenith at the Summer solstice. Notice we are moving through the Gospels in chronological sequence in the life and ministry of Jesus just like the Sun in move in sequence in its path through the Heavens and not surprisingly the "Jesus Story" is in step with the Sun's increasing and ascending path through the Sky.
Next we see this eternal struggle in the next account of healing a man who is blind and mute in Matt. 12:22.
Matt 12:22 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. (KJV)
Answer for yourself: Again I ask you is this a coincidence that Jesus, as the light of the world, cures a man blind who epitomizes the great power of darkness in the world? Again as I see it having studied Comparative Religion now for over ten years and before us in the Gospel accounts of the "Jesus Story" is the age old battle of the Sun against the darkness whom we call the "darkness-evil", "dark-evil", "d-evil", the "devil".
But we are not finished yet.
As the Sun approaches Gemini and enters into the sign of Gemini we experience a time of increasing or doubling as the Sun reaches its zenith in the Sky. The Sun's path through the constellation of Gemini ends on the Summer solstice when days are the longest and nights the shortest. The Sun is at the peak of its strength.
At its zenith, the Sun straddles over its descent into darkness. The Pharisees are made to call him the prince of demons.
Matt 12:24 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (KJV)
In the gospel of John the first time we meet Thomas he is identified as "the Twin," (in Greek Didymos) and this is repeated in John 21:2. This "name" for Thomas is not recorded in the other three New Testament gospels, and the fourth gospel does not explain whose "twin" Thomas is. But in the Syrian Church, there is no doubt that Thomas is the "twin" of Jesus.
This astounding belief comes from the gospel of Thomas, which begins: "These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded." Some Syrian manuscript versions of John 14:22 identify the disciple Judas (the Judas who isn't Judas Iscariot) as "Judas Thomas," and in the Syrian Christian tradition the apostle Thomas and "Didymos Judas Thomas" or "Judas Thomas" are understood to be the same person.
Answer for yourself: Were you aware that Ancient legends suggest that St. Thomas the Doubter was Jesus twin brother? How is this connected to the "Jesus Story"?
Well let us begin taking notice that the name Thomas Didymos means "twin" in two different languages. That means it was so important to some people that he's called that twice, just to make sure we know. Interesting, right? I think so.
Answer for yourself: Are you aware that one of Jesus' disciples was named the same name as an astrological sign? Are you aware that one of Jesus' disciples was names after the constellation Gemini? Coincidence, you say? Maybe so, maybe no. Let's jump into the myth surrounding the zodiac sign of Gemini and see what we can find and then you decided if this is but coincidence.
Answer for yourself: Can you guess what you get when you translate "didymai" (plural form of didymos) into Latin! You get "Gemini"!
Answer for yourself: Don't you think it rather strange that we have an Ancient Church tradition that connects Jesus and Gemini? Could this be more evidence that links the "Jesus Story" with the Sun passing through the Zodiac?
In classical Greek mythology, the stars in the constellation of Gemini were named Castor and Pollux, known collectively as the "Dioscuri" or "Sons of Zeus." Although Leda was mother to both, the twins had different fathers. Pollux was the son of the chief Olympian God, Zeus, who had changed himself into a swan in order pursue the lovely Leda. Thus, Pollux was immortal. Castor was not immortal therefore being the son of Leda's husband, Tyndareus, King of Sparta, he was destined to die. So now we have a pair of twins, one who is divinely conceived and one who is born of an earthly father. This is very interesting and should make you wonder at what is coming next. To me, this already triggers all kinds of Christology that is associated with the "Jesus Story" but lets not jump the gun here and get back to Gemini.
This dual structure of the hero reappears in the archetypal motif of the Twin Brothers, one mortal, the other immortal, the most obvious instance being the Greek myth of the Dioscuri [Castor and Pollux]. Their mother, in the same night, conceived the immortal son in the embrace of Zeus and the mortal son in the embrace of her husband Tyndarus. Again, Herakles [Hercules] was begotten by Zeus, and his twin brother by Amphitryon. We are also told that the mother of Theseus was impregnated in the same night by Poseidon and King Aegeus... (Erich Neumann, The Origins and History of Consciousness, p. 136).
Answer for yourself: Did you notice we have the same story again but this time about Hercules? Is there some kind of pattern forming here? It sure would seem so. Apparently, this idea of twins - one divine, one earthly - shows up around the world in almost every nation "under the Sun".
Answer for yourself: Did you know that one of these twins is sacrificed in order to ensure a better world and this idea comes up again and again from nation to nation as well?
Answer for yourself: Is it possible then that Jesus and his twin, Thomas Didymos, are yet another example of this ancient mythological theme? I think it's not only possible, but extremely likely.
Answer for yourself: Is it but coincidence that we find that Jesus was the son conceived in Mary by God, in the form of the Holy Spirit, and this would make Thomas, the earthly son, conceived by Joseph (paralleled to Castor and Pollux)?
Answer for yourself: So what have we seen? We saw that the Sun is moving Northward in the sky to its zenith at the Summer solstice where its power and might is the maximum and likewise we see the strength of Jesus exhibited in his tackling the whole of the Jewish religious establishment over issues like healing on the Sabbath and plucking and eating grain on the Sabbath which likewise shows his power and authority over darkness of the Pharisees. But we are coming to a turning point in the ministry of Jesus; whereas his ministry has been largely successful up to now we will find that once Jesus, as the personified Sun, lips over the zenith a the Summer Solstice it is literally all downhill for Jesus from then on as his ministry is in decline exactly like the Sun it the Sky as both move toward their ultimate death.
But we are not finished.
Now me move on to Jesus' transfiguration at the Summer Solstice. One night, during dinner with his disciples, Jesus foretells of his suffering (that he will be betrayed by one of them), death, and resurrection.  To prove this is all true and voluntary, Jesus then leads three of his disciples to a very high mountain (symbolically halfway between Heaven and Earth), where he undergoes the Transfiguration from Jesus to the Christ figure, the true Son of God. He then comes down from the mountain and begins his priestly ministry (Mat. 17:1-13, Mark 9:2-13, Luke 9:28-36).
Matt 17:1-13 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the Sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. (KJV)
In the "Jesus Story" we find Jesus transfigured on a mountain in front of his disciples, Peter, James and John. Note the parallel to the story that Jesus goes to a high mountain top and shines brightly, just as the Sun is high in the sky and shines warmly and brightly during the Summer months.
Answer for yourself: Are you aware that several other savior-gods were likewise transfigured on mountain tops? We can begin at the beginning with Osiris as usual. G. Massey explains in his The Historical Jesus or the Mythical Christ, on page 78, the mythical meaning of the transfiguration. Massey relates that the scene on the Mount of Transfiguration is obviously derived from the ascent of Osiris into the mount of the moon. The sixth day was celebrated as that of the change and transformation of the solar god into the lunar orb, when he re-entered on that day as the regenerator of its light. With this we may compare the statement made by Matthew, that "after six days Jesus" went "up into a high mountain apart; and he was transfigured," "and his face did shine as the Sun, and his garments became white as the light."
In Egypt the year began soon after the Summer Solstice, when the Sun descended from its midsummer height, lost its force, and lessened in its size. This by now we should know from our studies. This represented Osiris, who was born of the Virgin Mother as the child Horus, the diminished infantile Sun of Autumn; the suffering, wounded, bleeding Messiah, as he was represented. Osiris, killed by his brother Set, himself personified Darkness, descended into hell, or hades, where he was transformed into the virile Horus, and rose again as the Sun of the resurrection at Easter.
Massey goes on to explain that after such glory exhibited by the Sun at the Winter solstice we even see in the above passage the hint of the decline of the Sun who has just reached its triumph in the Sky as Jesus, as the personified form of the Sun, forecasts his inevitable death at the soon coming Winter solstice.
Taken "literally" then we miss the hidden truths of the "Inner Mysteries" intended only for the initiates into the "mystery" behind the "Jesus Story". We grew up as Christians and followers of "the Christ" in the Outer Mysteries of Christianity taking everything we read "literally"; never realizing that the Ancients had a hidden meaning in the Inner Mysteries reserved for only the few who desired such higher truths from God.
Answer for yourself: Does any of this sound familiar to you? Could the "Jesus Story" be the original "Osiris Story" and we not know it? And are both nothing more than personifications of the Sun and its path through the Zodiac and the stars?
So we move on to the next article in this series as we follow the Sun in its path in the Heavens out of Gemini into Cancer and see if our pattern of the life and ministry of Jesus in the "Jesus Story" can follow the path of the Sun through the Zodiac as it reaches its Zenith and we should expect soon to see Jesus' transfiguration and we will as we read that his "face shined like the Sun".
Let us continue with the next article in this series.
In our CD of all our websites contained on one disk we provide a "study plan" for the student and give detailed instructions as how to study these websites "in order" to facilitate one's study. Please inquire for the CD for such thorough study will take you some time if you ever hope of cracking the "Jesus Puzzle" and coming to the answer of the question: "Who do men say I am?" Hidden in this study is the manner by which you, a Christian, can come to the point in your life where the true power and demonstration of the Power of God in your life can be found and experience, where you can "say" to the mountains in your life "be gone" and they really flee. Just ask my wife who raised the Christ to life in her life, in a few short months, to reverse a disease process in her body and is alive today when medical science said otherwise. A mistaken literal and historical understanding of the sacred Scriptures "killeth," but a "mystical" and "metaphysical" understanding of the true indwelling Christ in you, as the real St. Paul teaches, raises you from the dead in this Earthly life and gives you the power and demonstration of the Power of God in your life. No tricks here, but just truth, truth kept from us by less than truthful group of men that changed the original understanding of the Ancient Wisdom to keep humanity ignorant and in fear, thus selfishly controlling them when they no longer had enough swords to do so. Don't let this ignorance of the truth continue in your life. It is time to experience the resurrection of Christ from the dead in you NOW!

TRACING THE SUN THROUGH THE ZODIAC & GEMINI...COULD THIS BE THE ORIGIN FOR THE "JESUS STORY" #7
GEMINI & JESUS: MAY 21-JUNE 21
We ended the last article looking at the correlations between the "Jesus Story" in the New Testament and the path of the Sun through the Zodiac, in particular the constellation Taurus as it parallels the depiction of the "Jesus Story" taken chronologically throughout the New Testaments' depiction of Jesus Christ. We have traced the "Jesus Story" not only through the Heavens as it parallels the path of the Sun through the Zodiac when "personified" and "allegorized" but have seen the genius of the Creator to inscribe upon the Heavens above His will for mankind and their "Spiritual Evolution". We have traced the Sun through the previous Houses of the Zodiac and when "personified" and with the aid of "anthropomorphic" language we have seen how the "Evolution of the Soul in matter" has been told through the "myths" and "legends" of sungods. The irony of this whole thing is that the "Jesus Story" is the story of the birth, life, growth, and death of the Soul in this physical realm we call "life". This "Jesus Story" is a "plan-o-gram" for mankind to follow and emulate as were many of the prior "sungod" stories as well. We have seen beginning with Capricorn that man was born into this physical world with the necessity of a "2nd birth" which is symbolized as we move to the House of Aquarius where we find the symbolic immersion into a "watery womb" or a "watery tomb" in baptism where as Judaism teaches man receives the "Soul that comes down from Heaven" and is "born again". We saw that this imagery of being "born again in water" is accompanied with "repentance" as seen in the immersion of John the Baptist and his "baptism of repentance". We saw that the language of John is very important as he lays out the desired growth of man's Soul; for it must increase as the power of his flesh decreases. We immediately move from this even in our spiritual growth to a full-blown war with our soul as we must fight the "darkness" within seen in the allegory of "Jesus' Temptation" with the Devil. This is but a picture of the Sun and its eternal battle with "darkness" again symbolized in the "Jesus Story" in Jesus' temptation where the "spirit" and "flesh" battle continuously. The Soul is intended to increase in strength over our flesh as we live out our lives and continually reflect more of the light of God daily as does the Sun in it new ascending path in the Heavens. We saw as we moved to Pisces that as we grow "spiritually" we must feed ourselves "the bread that comes down from Heaven" before we can feed others and become "fishers of men". Thus the symbolism of Pisces which stresses again the need for this bread due to the "intersection" in Heaven of these "two fish" or "2 natures in man; spiritual and fleshly". As we live a life of repentance unto good works we accomplish such a goal when fed the true "manna" of God. We then followed God's Sun into the Constellation of Aries where we first met up with the idea of "sacrifice" in relationship to the Lamb of God. We learned from this that God was teaching us that we are to become "living sacrifices", holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service while at the same time we are not conformed to this world continue to be transformed by the renewing of our minds in order that we might prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:1-2...KJV). We next found ourselves at the Spring Equinox were we learned that this is a special time with God and man which speaks God's Harmony and peace to all Creation. We also learned that this is the Harvest time when the Earth brings forth her fruit. We made note of the need for our fruit in our lives that comes through good works and obedience to the Commandments of God were according to Judaism we find and receive our atonement. As living sacrifices according to the Hebrew Scriptures we accomplish our own atonement. As we moved with the Sun into the Constellation of Taurus we saw the repeated emphasis upon "sacrifice" and continued fruitfulness on a large scale; a scale large enough to reach the world with this true message of maturation of man's Soul. We camped a little while here as we contrasted the Houses of Aries and Taurus for parallels between them and the unbelievable similarities between the "personified Sun" as "Mithra" and as "Jesus" in the New Testament. We move must move on with the Sun as it never sleeps and move with it into the House of Gemini and learn the next "Spiritual Lesson" that God has for us as we learn of the maturation of the Divine within matter; ie., our Souls.
Now we continue to go more deeply as we trace the Sun in its path through the Zodiac as it leaves Taurus and enters the constellation of Gemini. We by now are familiar with the astronomical concept that the Sun goes on a journey through the Zodiac during the 12 months of the year. We have been following this journey of the Sun and we have seen how uncannily the path of the Sun through the Zodiac matches up with the chronological depiction of "Jesus" and the journey that Jesus takes during his life and ministry as depicted by the writers of the New Testament. We have seen that according to the writers of the Synoptic Gospels that Jesus' ministry is said to last a year. We have also seen that the Sun completes its circuit of the Zodiac in a year. This is not a coincidence. We now look at the constellation Gemini to see the continuing struggle of the Sun against the darkness and note the parallels to the depiction of Jesus and his ministry as recorded in the New Testament.
The constellation of Gemini has been seen as twin figures by cultures throughout the world, back into prehistory. The 'Two Stars', referring to its very bright suns, which the Greeks recognized as Castor and Polydeuces, were named for the younger and elder forms of the god Horus by the Egyptians. To the Romans they were Hercules and Apollo. Often perceived as twin boys, the lore sustains that they were placed in the night sky by Jove to honor and exemplify the fidelity of their brotherly love. In other instances they were seen as a sister and brother or two angels, then within later Christian traditions, as Adam and Eve.
Stories of hero twins are also related throughout the world. For the Greeks their was Castor and Polydeuces, also known as the Dioscuri, or Heavenly Twins. They were the children of Zeus and Leda, queen of Sparta (yes...you may call them: 'sons of the swan.'), thus also the brothers to the infamous Helen, late of Troy. The exploits of these twins are many, and all heroic. In their youth they sailed with Jason to retrieve the Golden Fleece. To the Romans, who knew them as Castor and Pollux, the twins were invoked on the field of battle to assure victory. For centuries beyond they were held as guardians to sailors on extended or risky voyages.
LETS LEARN SOME ASTRONOMY BEFORE WE LOOK AT THE THEOLOGY
We have not up to this time spent a lot of time with the Summer Solstice but our time has come as we find the Sun struggling to rise to the zenith of its path across the Heavens where it will eventually reach the apex of its path which is the Summer Solstice. Let us not forget the Sun, since raised from the dead at the Winter solstice has been ascending in the Sky on its way to its zenith. Associated with this path of the Sun across the Sky is the constellation Gemini. The constellation Gemini is traditionally depicted as two men (the twins). The two brightest stars in Gemini, Castor and Pollux (north of the bright star Procyon in Canis Minor), are two of the brightest stars in the sky and were identified by the Greeks with two children, in most accounts the twin sons of Zeus and Leda. As indicated by the "twins of Gemini" this is a time of increasing or doubling as the Sun reaches onward to its zenith. This path of the Sun to its zenith in the Sky ends on the Summer solstice when days are the longest and nights the shortest. It is at this time that the Sun is at the peak of its strength. In the northern hemisphere the Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year (near June 22) when the Sun is farthest north. The Summer solstice is the longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum for the year. It is the time of the greatest light. The dates of maximum tilt of the Earth's equator correspond to the Summer solstice and Winter solstice, and the dates of zero tilt to the Vernal equinox and Autumnal equinox. People around the world have observed spiritual and religious seasonal days of celebration during the month of June. Most have been religious holy days which are linked in some way to the Summer solstice. On this day, typically Jun 21, the daytime hours are at a maximum in the Northern hemisphere, and night time is at a minimum. It is officially the first day of summer.
Let us not forget that the seasons of the year are caused by the 23.5º tilt of the earth's axis. Because the earth is rotating like a top or gyroscope, the North Pole points in a fixed direction continuously -- towards a point in space near the North Star. But the earth is also revolving around the Sun. During half of the year, the southern hemisphere is more exposed to the Sun than is the northern hemisphere. During the rest of the year, the reverse is true. At noontime in the Northern Hemisphere the Sun appears high in the sky during summertime, and low during winter. As mentioned above the time of the year when the Sun reaches its maximum elevation occurs on the Summer solstice -- the day with the greatest number of daylight hours. On the Summer Solstice, which occurs on June 21, the Sun is at its highest path through the sky and the day is the longest. Because the day is so long the Sun does not rise exactly in the east, but rises to the north of east and sets to the north of west allowing it to be in the sky for a longer period of time. After the Summer solstice the Sun follows a lower and lower path through the sky each day until it reaches the point where it is in the sky for exactly 12 hours again. This is the Fall or Autumn Equinox. Just like the Spring Equinox, the Sun will rise exactly east and set exactly west on this day and everyone in the world will experience a 12 hour day. After the Fall Equinox the Sun will continue to follow a lower and lower path through the sky and the days will grow shorter and shorter until it reaches its lowest path and then we are back at the Winter Solstice where we started.
The Summer solstice typically occurs on, or within a day or two of, Jun. 21 which is the first day of summer. The lowest elevation occurs about Dec. 21 and is the Winter solstice which is the first day of winter, when the night time hours reach their maximum. We get the word "Solstice", from the Latin for "Sun stands still", in astronomy, either of the two points on the ecliptic that lie midway between the equinoxes (separated from them by an angular distance of 90°). For several days before and after each solstice the Sun appears to stand still in the sky, i.e., its noontime elevation does not seem to change from day to day. At the solstices the sun's apparent position on the celestial sphere reaches its greatest distance above or below the celestial equator, about 23 1/2° of arc. At the time of Summer solstice, about June 22, the Sun is directly overhead at noon at the Tropic of Cancer.
Now that the technical information is out of the way we now focus on the fact that in pre-historic times, Summer was a joyous time of the year for those Ancient people who lived in the northern latitudes. The snow had disappeared; the ground had thawed out; warm temperatures had returned; flowers were blooming; leaves had returned to the deciduous trees. Some herbs could be harvested, for medicinal and other uses. Food was easier to find. This is the time of the first harvest, which usually consisted of the herbs planted during the Vernal Equinox. Other crops had already been planted and would be harvested in the months to come. Although many months of warm/hot weather remained before the fall, they noticed that the days were beginning to shorten, so that the return of the cold season was inevitable. Midsummer has been one of the important solar events throughout the evolution of humankind. It was an indicator that the year was about to begin waning, thus winter would be again returning. Although not all the ancients were as precise in the calculations from an astronomical point, you can be sure that they were keenly aware of the Sun's progression, and did most assuredly know when Solstice was upon them, as the Sun appeared to stand still in its northern progression.
The ancients knew that life came from the Sun, it was life giving, life supporting, without it life would be lost. The Sun was viewed as the Ancient's "Savior" of sorts. The journey of the Sun impacted life at every level in the course of time, only relatively recently with the advances of electricity, greenhouses, transportation networks, has human reliance on the passage of the Sun been lessened. Even with this dependence lessening, in this technological age, necessity of the Sun and its path is crucial to our existence, however it is not as apparent today to many. Midsummer is the time when the Sun reaches the peak of its power, the earth is green and holds the promise of a bountiful harvest.
NOW SOME THEOLOGY
We say in the previous article that Jesus, in the form of the personified Sun, passed through Taurus and in so doing likewise passed across the Milky Way which is that starry band of millions of stars that lies like a lake across the sky. We saw that at this point in the "Jesus Story" Jesus crosses "the lake" and we as expected found the allegorical story of Jesus walking on water.
Answer for yourself: What happens as the Sun moves past Taurus and the Milky Way?
On the star map provided I want the reader to look to the bottom right and locate the "Hyades" which is part of the Constellation of Taurus. If you draw a diagonal line ascending from bottom right to upper left you come to another Constellation named Gemini. This path between the "Hyades" in Taurus and ascending to Gemini is called the "Ecliptic" and this is the path of the Sun as it moves through the Zodiac in the Heavens. In our study it is important to note as seen in the reference above Sun crossing the "water" or "milky way" in the Heavens which is later retold in the "personified Jesus Story" as Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee and walking on water. After the Sun crosses the Milky Way it moves into the constellation Gemini called "the twins" Castor and Pollox (the two bright stars in Gemini are named Castor and Pollux).
Answer for yourself: What do we find Jesus doing in the gospels right after crossing the lake? We find an account of Jesus healing the sick but how many? How many people is Jesus healing? He is only healing "two".
If our premise holds we should expect to find Jesus associated with "two" (Castor and Pollox) people and that is exactly what we find. In the "Jesus Story", after crossing the lake (which we saw was Jesus as the personified Sun crossing the Milky Way), Jesus heals two demon possessed men.
Matt 8:28-34 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. (KJV)
Answer for yourself: Does the New Testament mention Castor and Pollux? It sure does
Answer for yourself: Is this just a coincidence that Jesus meets two men that need to be healed or is this again symbolic for the constellation Gemini as the Sun moves through the Zodiac?
Acts 28:11 11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. (KJV)
We made mention earlier of the connection of the Harvest with this time of the year around Summer when the Sun enters Gemini. This is a time of increase or doubling as the Sun continually rises in the Sky to its Zenith and its peak of strength. This is especially so noting the connection of Shavuot, or Pentecost, with the sign of Gemini. In Matt. 12:1 we find Jesus and his disciples going through the fields full of grain plucking the heads of grain to eat. As you can see the seasons are advancing.
Matt 12:1 1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. (KJV)
We find in the "Jesus Story" the masterful strength portrayed by Jesus in his teachings where he pronounces that like the Sun his strength is without limit and beyond contest:
Matt 12:8 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (KJV)
No one can challenge Jesus and win or try to usurp his power for none can win for we find Jesus in all his glory and majesty in his ministry portrayed at this time which is keeping in symbolism of the Sun moving to its Zenith where its light is at its greatest. This great power of the "personified Sun" in the allegory of the "Jesus Story" is seen in Jesus ability to control the "darkness of the physical realm" as witnessed in the many accounts of the miracles of Jesus over "demons" in the New Testament. Let us not forget what we previously learned about the "Devil" being "personified darkness".
Matt 12:22 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Matt 12:23-24 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (KJV)
Answer for yourself: Is Jesus being challenged by these evil Pharisees accurate to Jewish theology and Jewish history? No not really as we show in other articles where Jesus was likewise supposedly challenged by the Pharisees for healing on the Sabbath and eating of the Sabbath. Jewish law allows for both healing on the Sabbath as well as plucking and eating grain on the Sabbath when one's life is endangered and we find Jesus in the text fleeing from Herod Antipas. This action would be perfectly permissible by Jewish Law but the writers of the New Testament had to show the opposition to Jesus and did so by misrepresenting the Pharisees. This dualism between light and darkness and it constant and eternal struggle is pictured in these false representations of the Pharisees.
We mentioned previously that at the Solstices, both the Winter and the Summer Solstices, the earth's tilt reaches it maximum and begins to retrograde and along with this it appear that the Earth has remained motionless or "dead" once again in 3 years. In keeping with the parallel of the personification of the Sun and the life and evolution of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament we should expect to find at this particular time in the ministry of Jesus some reference to "death for 3 days".
Answer for yourself: Do we find such a reference in sequence to the events in the life of this Jesus as found in the Gospel account of a death for 3 days? We sure do!
Matt 12:38-40 38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (KJV)
Here we find, in sequential order in the Gospels mind you, Jesus' reference to the Summer Solstice and the 3 days of death of Jonas where he is in the belly of the big fish. This teaching of Jesus occurs when the Sun is in Gemini which is the time of the Summer Soltice. This death of Jonas is likened by Jesus to his own coming death at the next Solstice which is 6 months away, the Winter Solstice, were like Jonas he will remain dead for 3 days like the Sun is dead for 3 days before being resurrected again.
Answer for yourself: Is this just a lucky coincidence that when the Sun remains "dead" in the Heavens and Sky for 3 days, at the Summer and Winter Solstice, we find Jonas dead for 3 days and later Jesus dead 3 days?
We find associated with this event the challenge of those bad Pharisees that seem to be constantly challenging Jesus in the "Jesus Story" just like the Sun is constantly challenged by the darkness continually in its rise to its zenith of strength at the Summer solstice in Gemini.
John 3:19-21 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (KJV)

ESTE ES UN PATRON MUNDIAL. ¿ADONDE NO HAY UN TEMPLO CON DOS COLUMNAS BORDEANDO UNA PLAZA CON 8 PUNTAS? Esto incluso es lo que habla Pablo en Galatas 4:26 en contexto a Isaac. Galatas tiene un obvio nexo GALACTICO y mas incluso a que la letra G TIENE LA MISMA FORMA DE LA VIA LACTEA. HAY UN OBVIO NEXO GALACTICO CODIFICADO EN EGIPTO, CHICHEN ITZA, STONEHENGE, CUZCO, WASHINGTON D.C, SAN MIGUEL DE TUCUMAN, BUENOS AIRES, ETC,ETC. ESTE ES UN PATRON MUNDIAL. MARIA MAGALENA SIMBOLIZA A TODAS LAS NACIONES GENTILES DE LA TIERRA Y ES POR ELLO QUE LOS CODIGOS DEL GRIAL SON UNIVERSALES. EL CRISTIANISMO NO ES UNA CORPORACION SECTAREA. EL CRISTIANISMO NO ES MACHISMO. EL CRISTIANISMO ES UNA RELIGION PARA HOMBRES, MUJERES Y NIÑOS DE TODOS LOS LUGARES DE LA TIERRA.

Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem was built. Pillars in the temple were decorated with pomegranates and the fruit was included on the robes of Jewish priests. The Torah describes the robes:
“And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.”

 Mitología e historia
|
|
El origen de la representación como pájaro de estas estrellas es griego. Se cree que la figura original de la tradición mesopotámica había llevado el nombre de Urakhga, prototipo del árabe Rukh, más conocido en occidente como el gran "Roc", un personaje de ficción inspirado en los mercaderes de Bagdad, del cuento de Simbad el Marino, contenido en las Mil y Una Noches.
En su segundo viaje, Simbad encontró un huevo de roc cuyo diámetro era de 50 pasos. Cuando el roc padre llegó al lugar donde se hallaba el huevo, Simbad se agarró de sus garras y el pájaro lo transportó volando hasta el valle de los diamantes, desde donde pudo volver a casa con un gran tesoro como botín.
Existen diferentes mitos griegos que hablan de hombres jóvenes convertidos en cisnes. Sin embargo, la historia más conocida y destacable es la de Leda, esposa del rey Tíndaro. Leda compartía su lecho con Zeus, quien había adoptado la forma de un cisne para sus encuentros amorosos; como consecuencia, Leda gestó dos huevos. Del primero nació Elena de Troya y del segundo nacieron los Dioscuros ("hijos de dios") Cástor y Polideuco Pólux. Ambas estrellas de la constelación de Gemini.

Características
Cygnus cubre una zona del cielo muy grande y está comprendida si se observa el gráfico en una zona cuadrada. Se trata de una constelación boreal que cruza el paralelo +40º observable durante los meses de primavera, verano y parte del otoño en el hemisferio norte y en el austral durante el invierno muy bajo sobre el horizonte. Limita al norte con Cepheus y Draco, al este con Lyra, al sur con Vulpecula y Pegasus y al oeste con Lacerta. Además cruza el ecuador de la Vía Láctea por lo que se trata de una riquísima en estrellas brillantes, cúmulos estelares estrellas variables y nebulosas bellísimas, además de aglomeraciones de novae y supernovae. Se caracteriza por su forma de cruz denominándose a veces, cruz del norte, destancando su estrella más brillante Deneb, blanca y supergigante, 60.000 veces mayor que nuestro Sol.
Vista desde la Tierra la zona de Cygnus corresponde a un brazo espiral externo, en dirección opuesta al núcleo de la Vía Láctea, que se halla a unos 4.000 años luz de nosotros. Hay que destacar que el núcleo de la Vía Láctea la tenemos a 30.000 años luz en dirección a la constelación de Sagittarius. Cygnus culmina durante las noches de Julio y Agosto en el meridiano o cénit en el hesmisferio boreal donde resulta impresionante observar en noches muy oscuras y alejadas de los centros urbanos la Vía Láctea o también denominada en la Edad Media en Europa como el Camino de Santiago, peregrinación cristiana a la ciudad santa de Santiago de Compostela que se halla en España.
