Sapientia Aedificavit Sibi Domum. Es decir, "la sabiduría ha edificado aquí su casa". Resulta curioso que la misma frase aparece en el Evangelio de María Magdalena, un texto apócrifo. Se dice que en el interior de esta iglesia y de otras muchas de Venecia está escondido el tesoro de los templarios. Pero no hay ninguna prueba de ello. Para terminar ya con esta entrada me gustaría que nos acercásemos un momento a uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de Venecia: el Palacio Ducal.
"¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría (sophia) y de la ciencia (gnwsiV, gnosis) de Dios! ¡Cuán incomprensibles son sus juicios, e inescrutables sus caminos!" (Romanos, 11: 33).

El italiano Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (1881-1963), mejor conocido como el Papa Juan XXIII, fue Sumo Pontífice entre los años 1958 y 1963. También llamado “Il Papa Buono” (“El Papa Bueno”), aparte de ser uno de los papas más carismáticos y queridos de la historia, tenía el don de la profecía, realizando en su juventud varias predicciones sobre los cambios políticos que se avecinaban en el mundo y que se cumplirían en los años venideros, como el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el fin del imperio británico, el asesinato de los hermanos Kennedy y Mahatma Gandhi y el derrumbe del muro de Berlín, así como otros hechos que precederían a la segunda venida de Cristo y el fin del mundo (que, según el Papa Juan XXIII, debiera ocurrir el año 2033), con la consecuente restauración del «Reino de Dios en la Tierra».
El Papa Juan XXIII, autor de las encíclicas “Mater et magistra” y “Pacem in teris”, fue un gran pensador y visionario, que trató de modificar algunas de las estructuras de poder que dominaban el aspecto político y económico de la Iglesia. Y uno de los sucesos más llamativos en su vida tuvo relación con un supuesto encuentro que el Sumo Pontífice habría tenido con un hombre que habría llegado desde el cielo, en una especie de nave voladora, lo que habría marcado la vida y concepción de Juan XXIII respecto a la cosmovisión del Universo y el hombre. Este suceso ocurrió en la localidad veraniega papal de Castel Gandolfo en 1961, y fue revelada por Loris Capovilla, el secretario personal y asistente papal de Juan XXIII, 20 años después de su muerte, a un semanario inglés.
El relato que hizo este asistente papal (quien sería nombrado Cardenal en 2014 por el Papa Francisco) fue el siguiente:
“El Papa y yo estábamos caminando a través del jardín, una noche del mes de julio de 1961, cuando observamos sobre nuestras cabezas una nave muy luminosa. Era de forma oval y tenía luces intermitentes, de un color azul y ámbar. La nave pareció volar sobre nuestras cabezas por unos minutos, para luego aterrizar sobre el césped, en el lado sur del jardín. Un extraño ser salió de la nave: tenía forma humana, a excepción de que su cuerpo estaba rodeado de una luz dorada y tenía orejas más alargadas que las nuestras. Su Santidad y yo nos arrodillamos. No sabíamos lo que estábamos viendo, pero supimos que lo que fuese no era de este mundo; por lo tanto debía ser un acontecimiento celestial.
Rezamos y cuando levantamos nuestras cabezas, el ser todavía estaba allí. Esto nos comprobó que no era una visión lo que veíamos. El Santo Padre se levantó y caminó hacia el ser. Los dos estuvieron alrededor de 20 minutos uno frente al otro; se los veía gesticular como si hablaran, pero no se sentían sonidos de voces. Ellos no me llamaron, por lo que permanecí donde estaba y no pude oír nada de lo que hablaron.
Luego, el ser se dio la vuelta y caminó hacia su nave y enseguida se elevó. Su Santidad dio media vuelta hacia mi y me dijo: “Los hijos de Dios están en todas partes; aunque algunas veces tenemos dificultades en reconocer a nuestros propios hermanos”.
Después que el ser extraterrestre retornó a su nave y despegó, el Papa y yo continuamos nuestro paseo como si nada hubiese pasado».
Según relató su secretario personal, Juan XXIII nunca quiso contarle lo que había hablado con el extraño visitante que bajó del cielo en ese lejano día del verano europeo de 1961.
Esta, por cierto, no fue la única mención que personeros relacionados con la Iglesia Católica han hecho con respecto a la posibilidad de la existencia de vida inteligente más allá de nuestro planeta. En el año 2008, el director del Observatorio del Vaticano, José Gabriel Funes, afirmó en una entrevista para el periódico italiano L’Observatorie Romano que “Dios pudo haber creado vida inteligente en otras parte del Universo e incluso podría tratarse de nuestros hermanos”, una declaración que en cuestión de minutos dio la vuelta al mundo.

4. SCALA CONTARINI DEL BOVOLO: 45.434838, 12.334694
Ya aviso que no es nada fácil de encontrar, de hecho, es uno de esos rincones que pasan totalmente desapercibidos a menos que sepas de su existencia. Normalmente, todos los palacios tienen dos entradas, una principal que da hacia el Gran Canal y que es más espectacular, y otra secundaria que era usada por el servicio. Pues bien, este es de los pocos palacios en los que su entrada secundaria es casi más bonita que la principal, todo gracias a una maravillosa escalera de Caracol que hace las delicias de los descubridores viandantes (Bovolo significa Caracol).
Cerca de este Palacio se encuentra el famoso teatro de La Fenice, donde han sonado las Óperas italianas más importantes de la historia.
Escondida en un laberinto de calles y canales, a pocos pasos de Campo Manin, en uno de los principales itinerarios turísticos venecianos, surge una joya arquitectónica caracterizada de un estilo entre renacimental (por la utilización de algunos elementos), gótica (por la técnica de costrucción) y veneto-bizantina (por la forma): la Scala Contarini del Bovolo.
La escalera a espiral más importante y prestigiosa de Venecia, fue encargada su realización por Pietro Contarini a finales del 1400, con el objetivo de decorar la fachada del colindante Palazzo San Paternian de propiedad de la ilustre familia veneciana. La realización de esta ópera, no tenía al inicio un verdadero motivo funcional, consistía simplemente en un acto de prestigio, se buscaba únicamente aumentar la popularidad y prestigio del clan familiar.
La creación de la escalera ha tenido una resonancia tan fuerte que llevó a la ciudadanía a dar un nombre característico a la familia, como “Contarini del Bovolo” (por la forma particular de la escalera a forma de caparazón de caracol, que en veneciano se dice “bovolo”). El pórtico en el segundo piso de la Scala del Bovolo conduce a una sala prestigiosa del Palazzo Contarini (Sala del Tintoretto) en donde se encuentran expuestas las obras provenientes de la colección de arte del IRE, que está constituída de pinturas, esculturas y objetos de un significado importante de época veneciana con los más ilustres protagonistas del panorama artístico veneciano del 1500 al 1700.

Templar Foundations
A Templar ship Brass Plate Magdalene Vault
During my past life regression along with my spiritual portrait, my research on Mary Magdalene and my conversations with various mediums and historians there is one group of people who keep cropping up time and time again, The Knights Templar.
The Templars were founded around the year 1118 as an order of fighting monks whose job was to protect the pilgrims visiting the Holy land. It must be noted here however that no evidence has suggested the Templars actually carried out this particular task. Moreover, there have been suggestions their actual task was for something else like excavation work. It’s also important to note that the order began with only nine members for the first nine or so years which would have made it very difficult to cover all pilgrim routes to the Holy land.
By 1127 the Templars had established themselves in Western Europe with countries including Portugal, France, England and Scotland. The church had even officially recognized them as a religious order dedicated to the defence of Christendom. Further down the line in 1139, a papal bull was issued that the Templars would owe allegiance to the pope only, making them immune to political and religious authorities.
Sophia

However during the latter part of the 12th century the Templars were facing serious problems. The Templars enormous wealth and influence which had built up over a number of years brought them into growing opposition to the Church and worldly monarchs. The Knights Templar were accused of many heinous crimes including denial of an immortal Christ, ritual murders and of worshipping a bearded head called Baphomet to name but a few.
It all came to a head in 1307 on Friday, October 13th, Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Templars and sixty of his Knights were imprisoned in Paris. In 1312 the pope officially dissolved the Knights Templar Order and then in 1314, after Jacques de Molay was burned alive, it seemed that the Knights Templar had ceased to exist, yet the Order continued in other countries under various names.
The Templars venerated Mary Magdalene and to them she represented Sophia, the female side of god. The word Sophia means “wisdom” and many people believe Sophia came to earth in the body of Mary Magdalene herself. During the Templars inquisition, one accusation amongst many was the worshipping of a goat head called “Baphomet”. It was not apparent why the Templars would worship such a thing until you apply something called the Atbash Cipher. This code was used as early as 500BC and was found to be used in some of the Dead Sea scrolls. When applied to the name Baphomet we get the name Sophia!
Relic and Cathars

Whilst on the subjects of heads, the Templars also had in their possession an interesting relic in the form of a female silver head containing a couple of skull bones of a small woman. It also came with a label on which read the following; Caput LVIII M (Head 58M). At first glance the message is a just a random few numbers and a letter but when you add five with eight you get thirteen. The letter M is the thirteen letter of the alphabet and together with the other M we have a double hit. Could this female relic have been the bones of Mary Magdalene? It is also noteworthy that the bones themselves were wrapped in a red cloth, the colour most associated with Mary Magdalene.
With the worship of Sophia through the disguise of Baphomet along with the 58M female headed relic we can possibly assume that the Templars regarded the importance of Sophia and acknowledge her human existence in the form of Mary Magdalene. It would not be the first time that both Sophia and Mary Magdalene have had a connection. In one Gnostic Gospel called The Pisits Sophia, Mary Magdalene plays a central role. It contains 46 questions in the dialogues of which 31 are asked by Mary Magdalene herself.
The Templars also had a connection with the Cathars, a Christian dualist or Gnostic movement which arrived in France around the 12th century. Like the Templars, they held Mary Magdalene in very high esteem calling her the femine aspect of the divine and recognised her equal status with Jesus. It is also known that at least one of the nine founders of the Templars was a Cathar. The 4th grand master of the Templars, Bertrand de Blanchefort was from a Cathar family.
Cathar Templar connection
Old St Mary Magdalene Relic The Magdalene Museum
Another question which arises is why this particular area in the south of France is the focal point for both the Cathars and Templars. Could it be argued that the Magdalene arrival in France after the crucifixion set the motion of the events that followed? It is most likely that the Cathars had in their possession Gnostic Texts amongst their many other documents and may have had knowledge of the Magdalene voyage itself.
I strongly believe that the Templars were set up or influenced by the Cathars themselves with the objective to befriend the Church and gaining their trust, a kind of double agents type. One of the nine founding members, Hugues de Pagens, had ties with many Cathar people and possibly had been a Cathar himself. Indeed his genealogy points to Cathar heartland and another member, Godfrey de Saint-Omer appears to have been a relative of his. Their mission to protect the pilgrims from the holyland had simply been a “smoke screen” for their main intentions and activites.
Being just a normal Cathar would simply have got them nowhere, even before the Templar establishment they were already being hounded out including the burning at the stakes of Cathars in Orleans in 1022. They already had in their possession gospels and documents of Gnostic nature and more than likely had the Magdalene relics too. There was far more to be discovered in the Holyland which they could attain and keep. Also the Cathars knew the church at one point would come down hard on them, it was just a matter of time. What the Cathars needed was an army of knights to gain entry into the holyland and then to guard their sacred documents, relics and even their own beliefs and history.
Genocide
Templar Postcard, Temple London Magdalene Vault
In 1208 began a series of wars known as the Cathar crusade which was organised and directed by the Catholic Church on the orders of Pope Innocent lll. From the first seize in Beziers on July 22nd 1209 (St Mary Magdalene’s feast day), to the last Cathar foothold at the Chateau of Montsegur, the Cathars were hounded out, burned at the stake and slaughtered in what many people call the first genocide of Europe.
During the crusades against the Cathars, the Templars had no choice but to remain neutral. If they sided with the Catholic Church then they would be fighting against their own people, against similar beliefs and even possibly their own families. On the other hand if they sided with the Cathars then it would put the order at risk and everything they protected including their connections with the “heretics” along with sacred documents and treasures would be revealed. The only logical thing to do was to stay neutral although it has been reported that the Templars did provide a haven for Cathar refugees and the increase of Cathars which joined the Templar ranks at that period of time rose sharply.
At the last stronghold of Cathars at Montsegur in 1244, a few Cathars did manage to escape the oncoming slaughter and with them they carried some form of treasure. It could well be that these Cathars and their treasure, ended up with the Templars and thus their treasure were safe and protected……...for now.
Fall of the Templars
Postcard Port of La Rochelle, France
In the aftermath of the Cathar crusade the Templars remained protected and their influence and wealth was still growing. However by the turn of the 14th century the Templars had also attracted many powerful enemies, one of whom would lay the first stone to the demise of the Templar order, or at least, so he thought. Philippe lV of France had become envious and angry with the Templars, he owed them a great deal of money, thought they were arrogant and unruly ,no control was over the Templars as they only answered to the pope and all this on Philippe’s own territory. This all gave reason for Philippe to use heresy as an excuse to get rid of the order.
After the kidnapping and subsequent death of Pope Boniface Vlll along with the poison of another, namely Benedict Xl, Philippe conveniently secured the election of one Clement V, who was at the time archbishop of Bordeaux. This allowed Philippe to get what he wanted, the suppression of the Templars because after all, Clement V was indebted to him for making him pope.
From that moment on the Templars had become wanted men and many were tortured and interrogated on October 13th, 1307. Philippe may have quashed the Templars but their treasure had eluded him, nothing was found. It is more than probable that the Templars knew of this impending danger and took their treasure of wealth, sacred documents and relics and sent them to their naval base at La Rochelle were they transported all this onto around eighteen galleys ready to disembark. What happened to those ships remains a mystery, maybe some ended up in Portugal or more so to Scotland, the only monarchy in the 14 century Europe that did not recognize the authority of the Catholic Church.
Meanwhile the Templars were officially dissolved in 1312, despite the lack of evidence and information that Philippe had accused them of. In 1314 the grand master if the Templars, Jacque de Molay was roasted to death over a burning fire. Philippe had even gone to lengths after to persuade other monarchs to follow his lead to make sure no Templar survived but this mainly fell on deaf ears, particularly in Scotland. Philippe himself died of mystery causes at the end of 1314, the same year as he ordered the death of Molay. Indeed one month after the burning of the grand master, Pope clement was dead. It was reported that Molay had called his persecutors to join him before God’s court within a year while he was about to be burned!
Las escaleras de los Museos Vaticanos son una obra de arte más que añadir a la Capilla Sixtina, el Laocoonte o los Dalí y Miró que a menudo pasan desapercibidos, porque todo el mundo sigue las flechas hacia la gran obra pictórica de Miguel Ángel.
Escalera de Bramante del Vaticano
Esta increíble escalera que en un genial efecto óptico parece que no va a terminar nunca es obra de Donato d’Angelo Bramante, que ha pasado a la posteridad como Bramante. Vivió a caballo entre los siglos XV y XVI, y fue uno de los arquitectos italianos más reconocido, por ser el ideólogo de la Basílica de San Pedro.Bramante fue además quien introdujo el Renacimiento en Milán y realizó obras tan hipnóticas como esta escalera que emula las espirales del ADN. El efecto “infinito” lo consigue la doble hélice enrollada hacia la derecha. En realidad, cuando nos asomamos a la escalera, si nos fijamos, vemos que en realidad no es una sóla escalera, sino dos enroscadas. Una de ellas es para bajar y otra para subir.
La escalera se encuentra a la salida de los Museos Vaticanos, en realidad, es la última obra de arte que se contempla en las galería y el visitante se lleva de recuerdo esta espiral sin fin. Si la escalera está practicamente vacía, como en la foto, es más difícil de descubrirle el truco al artista, pero si circula gente, que es lo habitual, el secreto está en fijarnos en que una de las espirales está llena de personas – la de bajada – y otra casi vacía, – la de subida -, porque está cerrada al público.
Ungido, Michel de Notre-Dame o Miguel de Nostradamus fue un sujeto astuto, judío por trascendencia pero tornado católico por convicción quien era protegido por Catalina de Medici y otros poderosos de su tiempo y por ello mismo fue intocable, eso, tú lo sabes de sobra, solo te lo recuerdo, además, su cultura le daba pie a codearse por las cortes y doquier le diera su deseo, algunos sabían de sobra que el tipo era impenetrable y el ocultismo lo sabía manejar a la perfección, algo así como el pintor Miguel Ángel, quien a pesar que decoró la bóveda de la capilla sixtina con desnudos que podrían haberse interpretado como obsenos, por su cultura y de arquitecto, escultor y pintor, hasta el día de hoy se les llama obras de arte y lo son, pero los curas que presumen falsamente de recato lo permitieron, esa gente es sucia de mente y cuerpo.

The Golden Section (aka Golden Mean, and Golden Ratio) phys.org
We use math in architecture on a daily basis to solve problems. We use it to achieve both functional and aesthetic advantages. By applying math to our architectural designs through the use of the Golden Section and other mathematical principles, we can achieve harmony and balance. As you will see from some of the examples below, the application of mathematical principles can result in beautiful and long-lasting architecture which has passed the test of time.
Using Math in Architecture for Function and Form
We use math in architecture every day at our office. For example, we use math to calculate the area of a building site or office space. Math helps us to determine the volume of gravel or soil that is needed to fill a hole. We rely on math when designing safe building structures and bridges by calculating loads and spans. Math also helps us to determine the best material to use for a structure, such as wood, concrete, or steel.
“Without mathematics there is no art.” – Luca Pacioli, De divina proportione, 1509
Architects also use math when making aesthetic decisions. For instance, we use numbers to achieve attractive proportion and harmony. This may seem counter-intuitive, but architects routinely apply a combination of math, science, and art to create attractive and functional structures. One example of this is when we use math to achieve harmony and proportion by applying a well-known principle called the Golden Section
Math and Proportion – The Golden Section
Perfect proportions of the human body – The Vitruvian Man – by Leonardo da Vinci.
We tend to think of beauty as purely subjective, but that is not necessarily the case. There is a relationship between math and beauty. By applying math to our architectural designs through the use of the Golden Section and other mathematical principles, we can achieve harmony and balance.
The Golden Section is one example of a mathematical principle that is believed to result in pleasing proportions. It was mentioned in the works of the Greek mathematician Euclid, the father of geometry. Since the 4th century, artists and architects have applied the Golden Section to their work.
The Golden Section is a rectangular form that, when cut in half or doubled, results in the same proportion as the original form. The proportions are 1: the square root of 2 (1.414) It is one of many mathematical principles that architects use to bring beautiful proportion to their designs.
Examples of the Golden Section are found extensively in nature, including the human body. The influential author Vitruvius asserted that the best designs are based on the perfect proportions of the human body.
Over the years many well-known artists and architects, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, used the Golden Section to define the dimensions and proportions in their works. For example, you can see the Golden Section demonstrated in DaVinci’s painting Mona Lisa and his drawing Vitruvian Man.
Famous Buildings Influenced by Mathematical Principles
Here are some examples of famous buildings universally recognized for their beauty. We believe their architects used math and the principals of the Golden Section in their design:
The classical Doric columned Parthenon was built on the Acropolis between 447 and 432 BC. It was designed by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates. The temple had two rooms to shelter a gold and ivory statue of the goddess Athena and her treasure. Visitors to the Parthenon viewed the statue and temple from the outside. The refined exterior is recognized for its proportional harmony which has influenced generations of designers. The pediment and frieze were decorated with sculpted scenes of Athena, the Gods, and heroes.
Built on the Ile de la Cite, Notre Dame was built on the site of two earlier churches. The foundation stone was laid by Pope Alexander III in 1163. The stone building demonstrates various styles of architecture, due to the fact that construction occurred for over 300 years. It is predominantly French Gothic, but also has elements of Renaissance and Naturalism. The cathedral interior is 427 feet x 157 feet in plan. The two Gothic towers on the west façade are 223 feet high. They were intended to be crowned by spires, but the spires were never built. The cathedral is especially loved for its three stained glass rose windows and daring flying buttresses. During the Revolution, the building was extensively damaged and was saved from demolition by the emperor Napoleon.
Built in Agra between 1631 and 1648, the Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum designed by Ustad-Ahmad Lahori. This jewel of Indian architecture was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. Additional buildings and elements were completed in 1653. The square tomb is raised and is dramatically located at the end of a formal garden. On the interior, the tomb chamber is octagonal and is surrounded by hallways and four corner rooms. Building materials are brick and lime veneered with marble and sandstone.

As you can see from the above examples, the application of mathematical principles can result in some pretty amazing architecture. The architects’ work reflects eye-catching harmony and balance. Although these buildings are all quite old, their designs have pleasing proportions which have truly passed the test of time.
