Saturno (mitología)

The New Atlantis was first published in 1627, as a kind of appendix to the Sylva Sylvarum, a natural history in ten centuries.  On the title page is a curious design.  It shows the figure of an ancient creature representing Time drawing a female figure from a dark cavern.  The meaning is obvious: Through time, the hidden truth shall be revealed.  This figure is one of the most famous of the seals or symbols of the Order of the Quest.  Contained within it is the whole promise of the resurrection of man, and the restitution of the divine theology.

Rawley writes in his introduction to Bacon’s the New Atlantis, “This fable My Lord devised, to the end that he might exhibit therein, a model or description of a college, instituted for the interpreting of nature, and the producing of great and marvelous works, for the benefit of men; under the name of Solomon’s house, or the college of the six days work.”

The college of the six days work is, of course, a thinly veiled reference to the perfection of nature through art.  The six days are the days of creation by which the natural world was brought into existence, according to the account given in Genesis.  As God created the Universe in six symbolic days, so man by art–that is, philosophy–must create the condition of his own perfection by means of six philosophical steps.

The name of the land in which stood the Wise Man’s City was Bensalem; this means the Son of Peace. Bensalem maintained a trade with all parts of the world, but not for gold, silver, jewels, silks, spices, nor any other material commodity;  its merchandise was the Light of Truth.  Among the nations traded with was Atlantis, which was declared to be the same as America.

Religion, science, and philosophy are the three parts of essential learning.  A government based upon one or even two of these parts must ultimately degenerate into a tyranny, either of men or opinion.  These three realize the unity of knowledge;  they are the orders of the Quest…The supreme human purpose is the perfection of man. This must come first, and when this end has been achieved all good things will inevitably follow….These three [religion, science, philosophy], then, are the orders of the Quest.  Together they can bring about the perfection of man through the discovery of the Plan for man…..One of the great secrets of antiquity was this realization of the unity of knowledge and the identity of the Quest in all the branches of learning.  The great philosophers of the past were truly great because they approached the problem of life as priest-philosopher-scientist.  The title “The Wise” is properly applied only to those in whose consciousness the unity of knowledge has been established as the pattern of the Quest.

It was part of the ancient plan that has descended to us to build again the ideal university–the college of the six days work.  Here would be taught the same arts and sciences that we teach today, but from a different basic premise.  Here men would learn that the sciences are as sacred as the theologies, and the philosophies are as practical as the crafts and trades.  Those mystical extra-sensory perceptions viewed with suspicion by the materialist would then be developed according to the disciplines of the sciences, and all learning would be consecrated to the supreme end that men become as the gods, knowing good and evil

David Ovason writes in regards to the truncated pyramid and all seeing eye on the dollar bill:

Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital pg 235
“This ‘invisible’ symbolism recalls one important strain of arcane symbolism within Masonry itself, which maintains that the present era is that during which the Temple of Solomon is being rebuilt.  At the completion of this Temple, the present era will come to an end, and be succeeded by a more splendid spiritual era.

The Weeping Virgin

The ‘weeping Virgin’ is portrayed with Saturn which portrays in symbology the ‘resurrection of man’ or the new temple.

Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital pg 186

“…the celestial version of this Beautiful Virgin was the Virgin whom the Masons used in their mystery symbols of Washington D.C., the city of Virgo.  The important point is this: in some way, the Masonic fraternities of the United States have visualized their federal city as the founding stone not merely for the United States, but of the Fourth Ear, which will see the rebuilding, on the inner plane, of the Temple of Solomon.”…”Such imagery reflects the Masonic appreciate of the arcane significance of Virgo.  It is in this pregnant myth of the Beautiful Virgin that we begin to see something of the arcane importance of the Virgo image to Washington, D.C.  The image points – by inference – to the unfinished Temple of Solomon, that most enduring of Masonic symbols.  This means that the Weeping Virgin symbolizes, in a feminine personification, a lamentation at the unfinished pyramid on the Seal of the United States, and on every dollar bill. The pyramid is incomplete because it is the Egyptian Mystery equivalent of the Temple of Solomon.  Virgo is the star goddess weeping that so remarkable an endeavor still remains unfinished.”

Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital pg 184

“It seems then, that the Beautiful Virgin is a representation of the Virgin of the skies, the celestial Virgo, and that in certain Masonic contexts she is represented as weeping.  The link between Virgo and Isis is nowhere more openly revealed than in this idea, for Isis was herself on of the two ‘weeping sisters.’  In some Masonic accounts, she is said to be weeping because she symbolizes the unfinished Temple – that is, the Temple of Solomon from which some Masonic fraternities still date the passage of the years.  Since the Masonic symbolism sees the building of the external Temple as representative of the building of the internal temple of spirit, it seems that the Virgin weeps either for the imperfections still in mankind or because the Temple is not yet finished.

Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capitol pg 186

“Such imagery reflects the Masonic appreciation of the arcane significance of Virgo.  It is in this pregnant myth of the Beautiful Virgin that we begin to see something of the arcane importance of the Virgo image to Washington, D.C.  The image points – by inference – to the unfinished Temple of Solomon, the most enduring of Masonic symbols.  This means that the Weeping Virgin symbolizes, in a feminine personification, a lamentation at the unfinished pyramid on the Seal of the United States, and on every dollar bill.  The pyramid is incomplete because it is the Egyptian Mystery equivalent of the Temple of Solomon:  Virgo is the star goddess weeping that so remarkable an endeavor still remains unfinished.”

The cabbalistic design of the great seal of the United States is seen with intimate connection to the Queen of Heavenclick here (Ashtoreth the wife of Saturn).

Notice the link between the pentagram and hexagram above the head of the eagle as seen above, both are linked to the seal of Solomon.  E Pluribus Unum refers back to the Bacchic rites of the ‘awakening’ of man where the resurrected Bacchus is seen as the flaming Sun which is seen above the head of the eagle which in reality is the Phoenix.

Phoenix

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek).

Barbara Walker Now Is The Dawning , p. 281

“Egyptians believed that the Phoenix was the representative of a god who “rose to heaven in the form of a morning star, like Lucifer, after his fire-immolation of death and rebirth …”

William Schnoebelen, in his book, Satan’s Door Revisited , p. 4.  “The Phoenix, of Bunnu is believed to be a divine bird going back to Egypt … This Phoenix destroys itself in flames and then rises from the ashes.  Most occultists believe that the Phoenix is a symbol of Lucifer who was cast down in flames and who … will one day rise triumphant.  This [belief] also relates to the raising of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic ‘christ’.”

Venus & the Phoenix

Apart from its brightness, the most distinctive feature of Venus is its cycle as a morning star and evening star. Accordingly, the Egyptians symbolized Venus as the Bennu, a heron-like bird commonly equated with the phoenix.  Venus represents Lucifer, the ‘morning star’.

Notice on the head of the eagle the little ‘tuft’ of feathers on the back of the head…this is not on an eagle but was placed there to allude to the phoenix.

Serpent Goddess

Children of the Matrix pg 146
“The serpent goddess is known under countless names around the world, including Diana, Artemis, Semiramis, Barit, Britannia, Hecate, Rhea, Persephone (‘First Serpent’) and so on.  These same names have also been used to symbolise esoteric concepts like the phases of the Moon and female energy, but at its foundation this goddess worship of the Illuminati would seem to relate to the DNA transmitted through the female and possibly originating in the constellation of Orion….this DNA source symbolised in various cultures as the Dragon Queens, the Orion Queen or Queens, and the ‘Snake Mother.’  Artemis is depicted with eggs all over her chest and she is associated with bees. One of the prime symbols of the Merovingian bloodline, so connected to Artemis/Diana worship, is the bee and the hive.

Children of the Matrix pg 147
Sir Laurence Gardner is a spokesman for the Imperial Royal Dragon Court an Order that represents the interests of the ‘Dragon bloodlines’ seeded by the DNA of the ‘Dragon Queens.’ He says that this symbolism and the theme of the Dragon Queens goes back to the ‘founding mother’ of the Annunaki he calls Tiamat, the Sea-dragon in Mesopotamian accounts.  These queens, he suggests, were commonly represented as mermaids and were called Ladies of the Lake.  Throughout the lands settled by former Atlantean-Lemurian peoples you find the worship of the serpent goddess and her serpent son, who is often symbolised as a bull.

Hermes & Saturn

Hermes connection to satan
Zeus the all powerful intervened saying he had been watching and Hermes should return the cattle to Apollo. As the argument went on, Hermes began to play his lyre. The sweet music enchanted Apollo, and he offered Hermes to keep the cattle in exchange for the lyre. Apollo later became the grand master of the instrument, and it also became one of his symbols. Later while Hermes watched over his herd he invented the pipes known as a syrinx (pan-pipes), which he made from reeds. Hermes was also credited with inventing the flute. Apollo, also desired this instrument, so Hermes bartered with Apollo and received his golden wand which Hermes later used as his heralds staff.

Hermes – Ancient Mystery School Teachings – the Hermetic Orders – which is linked with Alchemy of Consciousness – Moving to a higher frequency of thought – Releasing the Hermetic seals at the End of Time – Or the Illusion of Time – the release of the soul from the physical form.

Hermes was the Master of all arts and sciences, perfect in all crafts, Ruler of the Three Worlds, Scribe of the Gods, and Keeper of the Books of Life, Thoth Hermes Trismegistus – the Three Times, the “First Intelligencer” – was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the embodiment of the Universal Mind.

Hermes is known as the trickster
The trickster is an important archetype in the history of man. He is a god, yet he is not. He is the wise-fool. It is he, through his creations that destroy, points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies of man. He rebels against authority, pokes fun at the overly serious, creates convoluted schemes, that may or may not work, plays with the Laws of the Universe and is sometimes his own worst enemy. He exists to question, to cause us to question not accept things blindly. He appears when a way of thinking becomes outmoded needs to be torn down built anew. He is the Destroyer of Worlds at the same time the savior of us all.

Hermes and Saturn

Planet Saturn and the Trickster
Saturn, the grim reaper, rules responsibilities, restrictions, limitations, and the lessons you must learn in life. He does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, or good fortune, but he does demand that these things be given structure and meaning. The karmic lessons we have come to experience and overcome in this lifetime are expressed by Saturn. Saturn is a great teacher if you allow it to be so. If you resist, then you feel like you have been dealing with the Trickster. It takes spiritual maturity to move beyond the challenges of the Trickster and to embrace Saturn the Teacher.

After many years of studying the metrology of ancient monuments around the world, we have recovered what we consider to be significant mathematical correlations between the dimensions geometry, and geographic locations of many of the great sites of antiquity.

The following article is an encapsulation of the framework we presently regard as the Canon of Measure, the basic tool of decoding the monuments. The Canon unifies Time, Distance and Number with the dynamics of Nature. The far reaching implications of the framework from which the Canon is derived are beyond the scope of this brief presentation, however the authors welcome further inquiry into the potentials of its application in many disciplines: art, architecture, ancient literature, and the physical sciences as well.

From all the legends since the days of yore
Saturn, old Chronos, will tell us more.
The measure in the cadence beat
in sound and light makes all compleat!
Saturn, source of measure.
^{— Bernard Pietsch, August 15, 1997}

Saturn, Source of Measure
Of all the planets in the solar system, Saturn is the most rigorous, the most regular and the most stable in its orbit. Its path exhibits the least deviation and is able to absorb the perturbations and disturbances of space more than any other body in the solar system. Saturn is imperturbable.

Also known as Kronos, Saturn is the Time Keeper of the solar family. Saturn's orbital performance provides a dependable gauge against which Earth's fluctuations in space can be observed, for only against a reliable standard can deviation, development, growth, or decline be measured. From our position on Earth, when it appears that Saturn is off schedule, so to speak, we can be fairly certain that it is we who are off. Saturn acts as a good mirror for planet Earth's capricious dance through space.

As we might suspect, Saturn dramatically demonstrates the pervasiveness of the Golden Proportion in our solar system. Known as Phi, 1.618122977 or .618, the Golden Proportion is the framework origin of all Nature. Though only an abstraction, it is through comparison with this mean, that we establish the individuality of any natural event or living geometry. The identity of a plant for example, is recognizable by its individual adaptation to or departure from the Golden Mean—Nature's guarantee of individuality within the law.

Numerically, the Golden Number is expressed as the minutes in Saturn's rotational day, 618. Geometrically it is exemplified on a planetary level by the conjunction period of Saturn and Jupiter. Every twenty years or so, Saturn conjuncts with Jupiter at the phi point or .618 mark of its orbit. In other words, when Jupiter completes one revolution around the Sun plus .618 of its next 360 orbit, it is closely aligned or conjunct with Saturn. From Earth we see Jupiter and Saturn together in the heavens. After twenty more years we will again see them close in the sky but advanced about 222+ degrees or the phi proportion of the orbital circuit of the heavens.

Sacred and Phenomenal Measures
The essentials of the measurement system we are about to unfold could be derived from close observation of any natural event or structure. But our ringed celestial neighbor Saturn is a particularly eloquent model. As a planetary resource it sets the standard of timing for the solar system. From Saturn we will build the system of measures we refer to as the Canon of Measure. (See previous references on website.)

As you can see, the Canon is formulated in perfect units, yet perfect units are not perceivable in the natural world. Like the Golden Number, the Canon is an abstraction against which the physical world can be measured. For example, number concepts like the mean solar day of 1440 minutes, the year of 365 1/4 days, the lunar year of 354 days etc., are average periods. In reality the lengths of these periods vary slightly from day to day and year to year. But without the mean as concept, it would be difficult to establish just how much any one day or any one year does deviate.

Just how the Canon of Measure was transmitted historically,we cannot say. But we can always recover the Canon by going to the works themselves. The works are the evidence: temples, tombs, monuments and other sacred art forms are the repository of the concepts, and they are available to all.

Besides architectural remnants, some ancient literature also conveys sacred measures. Often the form is illusive and indirect. Herodotus for example, 4th Century B.C. Greek historian, exhibits an elaborate facility with words which is at times both circuitous and vexing. In his description of the Lake Moeris in section 149 of Book II The History, we find a coded reference to Saturn's function as the foundation of measure. Herodotus tells us that Lake Moeris, "a work even more astonishing than the Labyrinths," was sixty shones or 3600 furlongs in circumference. After his description of the Lake, Herodotus assigns numerical values to the furlong, the cubit, and the palm. (These figures may have been corrupted in translation, or perhaps Herodotus is trifling with us as he rarely gives significant information directly.)

Using the conventional or phenomenal unit of a furlong, 660 feet, the figure of 3600 furlongs is unengaging. Herodotus' intended communication becomes transparent when the Canon furlong of 657.27 feet is invoked. The numbers become instantly significant when it is seen that the Lake Moeris is a veiled reference to Saturn. The feet in 3600 Canon furlongs divided by ten is equal to the number of miles in Saturn's circumference: 236,617.2 miles. This figure is the numerical basis for developing a system of Earth measures relative to Saturn and its performance. We'll be seeing it again shortly.

The History is filled with literary absurdities and ruse which double as vehicles for coded information. Many of the keys to unveiling Canon values are given right in the language of his accounts, especially in his various and lengthy enumerations. The phrases "well worthy of notice" or "very worthy of mention" or "well deserves to be described" alert the reader to pay close attention to what is about to follow. Directions for manipulating the figures given are often inferred in such words as "subterranean passage," "ditch," or "tunnel" which can mean take the reciprocal of the number just given. The use of the word "generation" refers to the use of multiplication. "Round about" or "all around" indicates use of the circle as degrees or fractions thereof. A phrase concerning a certain number of "days journey" suggests that the total number of hours or minutes during that period may be a significant key figure.

Sacred measures are hidden only in the sense of being obscured by the filter of phenomenal or local observation. They are founded on that which is beyond mere appearance. Because they are relative to a larger framework than that which is visible here on Earth we sometimes refer to Cannon measures as cosmic values.

One of the keys to the domain of the cosmic is represented by the "K" symbol. K represents the ratio with which we part the veil. From the phenomenal world we enter the cosmic realm—a dimension where Time, Distance, Velocity, Number, and Geometry become co-in-ci-dent with one another, where one is an expression of all, where everything is in one thing, and where the law "as above, so below" becomes observable. Here the application and utility of Number in all its forms transcend the limitations imposed upon it by ordinary logic. Here, Number can become Time, distance, angle, ratio, logarithm. We have but to invoke the magic inherent in Number, and all is made available.

K is the number 1.01430555. With it, the first measures to be unveiled are those of Time. The ancients understood the intimate and inseparable relationship of Time with all dimensions. (With K we will reveal the legendary "harmony of the spheres." But first some groundwork must be laid.)

For a number of important reasons we adopt the solar year indicated by the base of Cheops Pyramid as the value 365.15 days which is 36,515 inches around the perimeter of the base. This number divided by K produces the Sacred or Cosmic Year of 360 days. The same length of time is involved but the relationship of the year to the circle of 360 is clearly established. From this ancient Sacred Year we derive the following units:

The derivation of the Sacred Day of 24 hours 20 minutes and 36 seconds is not only a mathematical construction. This is also the day (mean cosmic) responded to by plants and organisms. These circadian rhythms tend to be about 20+ minutes longer than the mean solar day of 24 hours; biological rhythms in humans as well seem to follow this cycle. Also notice the number of minutes in the Cosmic Year: 525816. Dividing this by 100 renders the number for the feet in the Canon Mile. The mile has its origin in sacred time.

Equatorial Earth Measures
Derived from the Circumference of Saturn
How are linear units of Earth measure derived from Saturn? Each unit as standard will reflect some connection with Saturn, and because they are commensurate with each other, all equatorial Earth measures can be derived, from just two primary units:

The number of feet to the ancient Canon mile, 5258.16, and The number of Canon miles in the circumference of the Earth as 25,000.

(The number of miles in the Earth's equator at 25,000 is taken from the Sacred Cubit of 25 inches.) (Clarke Spheroid: 24,901.55 miles @ 5280 feet/mile.)

We begin with the primary unit for measuring the Earth—the second of arc at the Equator. We again look to Saturn for the length of this unit. Saturn's daily rotational period is 10 hours 14 minutes and 35 seconds. Expressed decimally it is the number 10.1430555. Multiply this by 10 to arrive at 101.430555. Taken as feet, we now have the number of feet to the second of arc on the Earth's equator. Notice K within the number?

If we allow the testimony of Herodotus that there were "eight gods who existed before the rest," and that these eight were the gods of Measure, each is represented by one eighth of the circle or 45. Divide the foundation of measure, Saturn's circumference 236617.2 by 45 and we arrive at the ancient value for the number of feet in the Canon mile.

236617.2 / 45 = 5258.16 feet

(Recall that this number, 5258.16 times 100 is also the same as the minutes in the Cosmic Year.)

Using the framework of the 360 circle of 1,296,000 seconds or 21,600 minutes of arc, the number of feet to the second of arc (101.430555) and the number of feet to the Canon mile (5258.16), we can now develop all the Earth Equatorial units:

Canon units of measure are not created, they are derived, from Time. A period of time is also used to represent a unit of length, e.g. 5258.16 feet to the mile has the same number as the minutes in the Canon Year: 525816, a synchronicity which encourages the observation—the mile is inextricably linked to Time.

By juxtaposing distance with time, yet another unit of measure is generated by Saturn's timing—the Canon Meter. Divide the circumference of Saturn, 236617.2 by the number which is also the number of minutes in Earth's mean solar day, 1440, divide by 100, and the result is exactly one-half the measure we identify as the Canon Meter:

236617.2 1440 = 164.3175 x 2 = 3.28635 feet in 1 Canon Meter 100

There are 39.4362 inches in the Canon meter.

This Canon metric value is commensurate with the duodecimal system. When invoked, Canon metrics expose relationships not otherwise apparent. In an almost alchemical fashion, the precipitate of the two systems exceeds the limitations of either. Ideally, the two systems work together and need not be a source of contention. Thomas Jefferson was intuitively correct in resisting adoption of the French meter in the United States. He recognized the importance of endorsing a truly commensurate figure which would unify time, space, and matter. He discerned that the French system did not fulfill this requirement.

ONE CANON METER = 3.28635 feet

39.4362 inches

             1
        ----------- = .0253574127 
        39.4362 

.0253574127 x 100 =2.5374127cm/inch

ONE CANON MILE = 1600 Canon Meters

The ancient measure of the Canon Furlong is also recognizable on Saturn as one degree of its circumference in miles, expressed on Earth in feet as:

236617.2 / 360 = 657.27 This number is now taken as feet to the Canon furlong.

The Canon furlong is exactly 200 meters or 1/8th of a Canon Mile. The furlong times 20,000 it is the number of feet in the circumference of the Earth

657.27 x 20,000 = 131,454,000 feet on the Equator.

As shown, the figure 101430555 has a number of transformations and applications. As it is the multiplier which changes the number of seconds in the circle into the number of CANON feet on the Equator:

1,296.000 x 1.01430555 = 131,454,000 feet

As a divisor it transforms the Sacred Year into the Lunar Year:

360 / 1.01430555 = 354.9226347 days

As 101.430555 it is the number of feet to the second of arc on the Equator.

As 10.1430555 it is the hours in Saturn's day. This day is the period of our "phenomenal"observation. The Canon day for Saturn is 10.3 hours, or 618 minutes.

These various manifestations demonstrate the sychronistic aspects of the Canon system. One number can have different levels. The equatorial second of arc 101.430555 feet for example, is in a sense the first Earth measure. It also embodies what we might term the last measure—the rate of the precession of the equinoxes.

The rate of precession is a finely tuned figure, computed after all the motions, variations, and impressions of all the planets and masses in the solar system have been calculated. The rate of precession will always vary, but it averages to approximately 50.9 seconds of arc per year, also recognizable as 1/2 of .

101.430555 = 50.7152+/- seconds of arc per year.
       2

The Canon value for annual precession is 50.90017909 seconds of arc.

If measures, though abstractions, are based on relevant frequencies or events occurring in the universe, they will be inherently related to one another. The rhythms and cycles of the cosmos abide in all of Nature, whether, mineral, vegetable or animal. The planets resonate in the physiology of the human body.

Because humans evolved in a framework affected by these vibratory rates—diurnal rotations, lunar phases, revolutions around the Sun etc., it is reasonable to infer that the spectrum of these various vibrational frequencies would be designed into what humans have become both as form and process. Mankind is, as is all of Nature, the repository of all the cycles and all the patterns of its developing environment. We are the result of our biological, geophysical, and astronomical heritage. The genetic code contains not only the blueprint of the individual organism, but also the cumulative record of the entire species.

It is from the internal measures of the perfected or harmonized individual—the frequencies and ratios of the heartbeat, the breath, the voice, the orgasmic impulse etc., that the Canon emerges. Physiological events occurring in Time are the ground of the Canon—as the Zen philosophers tell us, "Everything is in one thing." The foundation of measure is the human body itself.

When Canon measuring units are the basis for evaluation, the relationships between above and below arise as pattern. Harmony is observable and deviation from the harmonized is experienced as dis-harmony. Saturn is the source and model of our understanding of harmony, but it is from within that we yield to our relationship with the whole.

In our next installment, we'll see how each of the planets contributes to the harmony of the spheres more specifically, as we continue to link Earth Canon measures to the rhythms of the Solar family.

The relationship between all these CANON measures, and the dynamic linkage with the number of CHAOS, 4.669246833, will satisfy the framework question in a mathematical format which includes the demonstration of variance, everywhere and always. Necessary to the continuance of this presentation, a short primer on the mathematical alchemy will be presented in the next installment.
