In the above photo, Card X or 10 of the Tarot we see positioned the 4 Tetramorphs, the 4 figures represented by the 4 symbols representing the houses of the horoscope they are positioned in.

Scorpio is the Eagle
Leo is the Lion
Taurus is the Bull
Aquarius is the Human figure...

The 4 tetramorphs are then further associated with the 4 Evangelists.
Hmm

Now where have I seen that representation before?

Of course...Egypt.

Here I present the 4 Canopic Jars found in the tombs of the Pharaohs.
They held the organs.
The figures you see on the jars were also known as the 4 Sons of Horus.



Do you see a resemblance of the 4 Sons of Horus to the 4 'tetramorphs'?




What is far more interesting however is what these 4 significant symbols represented to the Arabic Astrologer...

These 4 Canopic Jars or the 4 Sons of Horus or the 4 Tetramorphs or the 4 Evangelists were ALL representations of the 4 Royal Stars.

The 4 Royal Stars were on Sol's path, they ... form part of our Sun's journey through its existence in the bigger picture.
These 4 Royal Stars and the forces they exert on our Sun as our Sun journeys past them ... eventually play a part in how our history unfolds ... how all that has been written plays itself out ....

May I add these 4 Royal Stars, were 4 of the brightest our Sun passes by.

Antares is in Scorpio
Aldebaran is in Taurus
Regulus is in Leo

And our Sun is profoundly and currently closest to Fomalhaut on it's journey along the ecliptic which is actually known as the precession of the equinoxes.

The Sun's orbit or 'backward precession through the 12 houses of the horoscope is actually a cycle that takes nearly 26,000 years to complete.

Fomalhaut is associated with Aquarius.
And as we leave the influence of Pisces and as we move into the house of Aquarius we move closer toward Fomalhaut.

Here is the latest photo taken of Fomalhaut.
The dust cloud you see surrounding the Star is proof of the swirling motions necessary to form planets...scientists believe.




And another taken from a different perspective.




Please note also that Fomalhaut is the only one of the 4 Royal Stars that canNOT be occulted by the MOON.

Can the photo below be connected to the very esoteric Vesica Pisces?





Please note the similarity in the following photos below.
The first is a magnetic field around a dying star.
The second photo is a Binary Star illusion ... forming a rectangular field of light.






Our Sun it must be confirmed is on it's own undeniable journey.
Who are we to deny this truth?
How insignificant are we in terms of a bigger picture ... really?
We are less than the flea on the tail of the dog ... trying to wag the dog.
Hmm

Below is another photo that has its roots in Alchemy.
Please note however the presence of the 4 'tetramorphs', this time though these forces appear as the 4 basic elements.

fire / Ignis
water / Aqva
air / Aeris
earth / Terra

This picture is known as the "Mountain of the Adepts".



I might add, I can further trace the ancient 4 Royal Stars and their most influential alignments back to an ancient symbol.

The Swastika is in fact a symbol that marks out the 4 Royal Stars.
And the Persians / Iranians still 'march' to this symbol.

The scholarly book, Hamlet's Mill, suggests I am full on in my claims.
And may I suggest that I have simply taken the truth of the cycle of the precession of the equinoxes to its next level of truth.

Time will confirm my findings that the swastika is among other things, a symbol representing the cycle called precession.

Remember the swastika is known as a solar symbol the world over and is connected primarily to the Sun, the Egyptians even have reverence for a 'solar disk'.
The swastika is seen as a solar not lunar symbol...



Please note the area of influence marked by the intersection of the lines in the photo above.
What lines?

The X, Y and Z axis, as the photo below clearly shows.
Do you see the X that is formed in the circle above the Earth?



These lines are in fact marking out the same area as defined by the black shaded areas we see in the photo below. I took this photo last year (2006) in a Peruvian monastery, a monastery that was closed to the public for nearly 400 years.
Closed under suspicious circumstances, back in 1570 ... (12 years before the adoption of the Gregorian Calender)
It reopened in 1970.



Please note that the shaded areas in my photo are mapping out the same areas of influence caused by precession of the equinoxes. Remember that this GREAT CYCLE of time, as it is known, is also part of our Sun's life path.
Stars also born, live and die.
Many die, only to be reborn.
Hmm
(as it is in the macro so it is in the micro ... heaven above and below)

And please also note in the photo above the 4 black and white stars that exist on the edges of the shaded areas where the a cross is formed as an intercardinal X.
As opposed to the 'scrolls' that appear where the cross appears to be in a 'fixed' or cardinal position, +.



I then placed the swastika over the symbol I found in a Catholic Monastery in Peru.
Please note the similarity in color structure. We must acknowledge that the colors used represent light, which in science defaults to a waveform or vibration.

So we have a Black X, a White Circle and a Red Rectangle representing an 'Alchemic Vessel'.
remember the Binary Stars in the photo above that formed a rectangular shape of light / electro-magnetic fields.





And to show you regardless of which way the swastika rotates. clockwise or counterclockwise, the shaded area is still represented.



Below is another alchemy photo making a reference to 4 Stars, the Sun and the Moon forming an X.



I believe, quite obviously that the swastika plays a huge role in the formation of our collective consciousness, and I can only ponder why we keep trying to bury it?
We MUST acknowledge its role in the bigger picture.

If it makes a few Jewish people uneasy or uncomfortable ....too bad, I for one will NOT ignore the 20,000+ year history of this symbol because it was used inappropriately for 15 years by a madman and then further exploited by the victims for another 60+ years.

Sorry but the victims of the Holocaust have NO claim on this symbol that belongs to a collective humanity.

Even the Star of David, adopted late by Judaism has its roots elsewhere...

The dollar sign, $ and the Crucifix , and those who support these symbols, fundamentally, make me cringe, and both symbols with laughable ease can be shown to have more blood on their hands than the swastika.
But the victors do in fact write the HIStory.

I suggest the swastika be resurrected and acknowledged as part of the innate human architecture that helps profoundly animate us, bringing us to life as scientists have proved.

i.e. swastika = chiral = DNA

Is this cross-section of DNA a clue to the unraveling of X?



The next step, where the Judeao / Christian tribe forfeits and returns this symbol, back to its rightful place is needed so human consciousness can truly evolve to a higher plane.




But the analogies do not end there.

What is a chimera?

In zoology, a chimera is an animal that has two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated in different zygotes; if the different cells emerged from the same zygote, it is called a mosaicism.

Chimeras are formed from four parent cells (two fertilized eggs or early embryos fuse together) or from three parent cells (a fertilized egg is fused with an unfertilized egg or a fertilized egg is fused with an extra sperm). Each population of cells keeps its own character and the resulting animal is a mixture of mis-matched parts. An analogy is two jigsaw puzzles cut using an identical cutter, but with different pictures. A single puzzle can be made out of the mis-matched parts, but the completed puzzle will show parts of both different pictures.

Or may I suggest the 4 puzzle pieces made from the mis-matched parts form what is known as the Persian Chimera.





And what is the connection between chiral chemistry and biology and the mythical Persian Chimera, which has further connections to Greek Griffins and Eygptian Sphinxes or even the Lammasu or the Shedu?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shedu

Truth is, and with added irony, the continued oppression of this divine symbol in conjunction with not acknowledging its place in our development, is assisting in holding back humanities progress ... as a unit.
As a collective UNITY.

IMHO (only one of 6+ billion), the analogies between ancient myth and modern science are far too revealing to be ignored any longer by the 'self serving belief' systems.

Maybe you could like write a small summary at the start of your threads?

Del I did change the title of the thread to give a clue as to the content.

I do admit the term, 'The Four Royal Stars' is not a common one.

And here we find the nine steps into the "Mountain of the Adepts".

The Mayan Sun pyramid also has nine steps of creation.

The Great Ennead of Heliopolis = 9 creational Gods.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't being rude or nothing!

I always tell myself that I am going to read your full posts as I know they are worth while and I have lots to learn and I want to learn this stuff... but yeah, it's hard for me!

Don't you guys love how Raph always manages to take a bunch of things which are one thing... and makes them out to be something entirely different and come out sounding like a giant conspiracy?

Einstein was wrong...God DOES play with Dice!

After all ... it was he who designed them.
The game called Creation is based on the game of craps.

The info I offer below suggests two things.

1/ Ancient symbolism in conjunction with folklore, religious or mythical prophecies suggests that the mythological, (as yet unproven) Creator created an ordered Creation.

A Creation called Eden, where everything existed in a harmony, a balance, a golden age where the cycle that determined the conversion of matter into energy and back into matter, this constant never ending process of where these two pillars of creation and destruction, matter and energy, are in a constant flux of conversion.

And to make it all the more unbelievable, it is further suggested and understood, that the Creator knows everything about everything happening in both the inner and outer SPACEs, all the TIME he is aware, and everything that is to occur, will, because evidently it has already been written by him, the Creator.

Very cool story.
Written down like a script, divine revelations which became sacred texts, or another analogy would be, the way our DNA has been scripted.
Our entire personal script, how our lives unfold, is scripted apparently using only 4 letters.

So it is revealed that the Creator's keyboard, to our knowledge uses only 4 key strokes from which all messages can be encoded.

A, C, G, and T

It appears that what has befuddled the secular scientist since the dawn of curiosity, is that what appears as chaos at the quantum level, and then somehow manifests into the divine order we see all around us, is often difficult for the evolving, questioning mind to grasp.
This confusion is easily explained, especially when many of narrow minded scientists, focused narrowly, on their particular specialty, are often ignoring a much bigger picture.

Many of these obviously befuddled scientists cannot believe that what they see with their MACRO-telescopes and MICROscopes, observing the chaotic outer and inner realms, both appearing as a universal chaos somehow are morphing themselves into an order, an order that is actually unfolding just as it should.

2/ I also suggest that ancient symbolism in conjunction with folklore, religious or mythical prophecies predicts that the mythological, (as yet unproven) Creator created an ordered Creation and the code he used is in fact, accessible.

And this code I refer to, is CodeX4.

In another post soon to follow I will discuss how the Mesoamerican histories have been 'hidden away' in foreign vaults and foreign museums.
Hidden away from view.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Here is an example of the history that should be taught as mainstream curriculum, but is not.
The Judaeo / Christians fear a truthful retelling of the Mesoamerican history nearly obliterated.




The indigenous creation stories, their rites and rituals were recorded and many were in fact preserved (go to the above website), and these ancient texts, many recorded on the hides of animals were called a Codex, and then by no coincidence, the history was taken possession of by the victors who wrote the HIStory, that we digest today.
What I find interesting about these preserved texts is that the names of the Codex does NOT reflect who the script belongs to.

i.e. the Codex Borgia is a document that intrinsically belonged to the Aztec.
But the name Borgia refers to the European family who OWNed the documented history of these ancient Mesoamericans.





And the plural of codex is codices.

So prepare to have your awareness expanded through a thorough and updated method of investigation into ancient symbolism.
Methods of interpretation available to us since the release of the book called Hamlet's Mill.

This book released in 1969, the same year we sent a man to the lunar (female) moon.
The patriarch wanted to explore her dark side of course.
But the book Hamlet's Mill suggested we did NOT need to send a man to the moon.
The book suggests that the messages are here on earth, encoded in the megalithic structures left behind...mapping out a future based on a cycle called Precession of the Equinoxes.




You do sound unconvinced Ognamus.
But without sounding too modest, I do love how I weave these events together.

Friends and strangers will ask how dare compare apples to oranges juiced.

And I will suggest the easy answer is if you believe in gravity, then you believe in the concept of Unity.
Gravity is the weakest force of the 4 forces known to physics, but it has the greatest range, extending to the edge of our universe itself.
And our universe is also contained within an even greater structure...

And our egos try to wag this behemoth?
Maybe our efforts to determine our role within the confines of our bubble would be better spent if we simply tried to 'fit in' this greater structure.
The ancients simply mimicked the motions of the celestial bodies.

Here are some more coincidences suggesting the Precession of the Equinoxes was mimicked or symbolized by the various symbolic representations of the tetra morphs or the Tetragrammaton.
And these forces keeping Sol on its orbit called Precession will determine, at some point in our future (as we tag along with the Sun, kept on a short leash of about 93 million miles) how successful that our efforts to 'fit in', have been.



The tetra morphs appearing this time as the FOUR Evangelists
This photo taken from the Book of Armagh, in TrinityCollege, Dublin.

Matthew is Aquarius the Human
Mark is Leo the Lion
Luke is the Bull / Taurus
John is Scorpio that is associated with the Eagle and ascending.


This is a common symbol called the Ouroboros.


I think there is a certain cycle to life represented by this symbol.
Please note the placement of the 4 elements in the corners, can I suggest these are the pillars?





FOUR symbols representing the FOUR elements (triangles)
From left to right, Earth, Water, Air and Fire (associated with the colors Green, Blue, Yellow and Red)

And these FOUR elements BELOW, are then further associated with the FOUR sealed vessels poised ABOVE.

And we see contained within vessels, from left to right, EARTH is associated with Man or Ape, WATER has an unidentified symbol (to me), the AIR symbol appears to be a Phoenix / Eagle and FIRE is again associated with Leo the Lion.
taken from the Philosophia Reformata, 1622 AD.

But wait, modern physicists find that the colors Blue, Yellow and Red have interesting characteristics at the sub-atomic level.
These three colors combined together are like a ‘cloaking device’, a veil, a veil we can associate with stealth architecture or invisibility.

Please note the structure of color in this Tarot card called The World Card.
This card is associated with the number 21.
At this time please take note of that fact...
The World is represented by Card 21.





But first let us investigate specifically the 3 colors, red, blue and yellow and how they relate to modern quantum physics.

I found this passage, this following quote in a ‘used’ book I purchased yesterday.
You must understand I do not read books front to back, I open them randomly…looking for messages and clues.
Last night I randomly opened the book called, Seven Ideas That Shook the Universe to page 242, and here are the highlights of what I read.

- Each quark can come in 3 different colors
- Red, yellow and blue
- For every quark there is an anti-quark
- Thus there are 36 different quarks, but only 6 basic kinds
- If the quarks are the fundamental building blocks of the baryons and mesons, there must be another extremely powerful force holding them together
- For ordinary light, equal mixtures of the 3 colors yields no observable color
- The analogy is that a baryon constructed of one red, one blue and one yellow quark has no net color…i.e. invisibility
- Also mesons made up of quarks and anti-quarks of the same color also serves as a ‘cloaking device’

- Quote from the book, ”…an amazing fact is that every particle so far discovered that is understood to be made up of a combination of quarks has always turned out to be a “colorless” combination. One always finds combinations of three quarks having one of each color, or a quark-antiquark pair. It appears that quarks always come in threes or quark-antiquark pairs just so that there will be no net color. The color force requires this so that the color force can always terminate within each particle…”

- Also the color force is very strong and it increases in strength if you try to separate the colors
- By contrast, gravitational and electro-magnetic forces that we are more familiar with weaken with distance

I would like to add some other observations…

- The law of red shift and blue shift determines if two objects are moving away or toward each other…
- I have always contended that there are 4 primary colors necessary to express both the visible and invisible worlds that we reside in.

4 Primary Colors?
You thought there were only three … and Red, Yellow and Blue are the three colors used when mixing paints or dyes to create color to place onto a flat surface.

- But if you want to ‘project’ light and give a feeling of depth, you need to use RGB technology, Red, Green and Blue hues are those we adjust on our monitors…
- Colors are vibrations and evidently certain combinations yield different results.

Are we better equipped now to interpret the symbolic significance of the colors as expressed on this Tarot Card taken from the Marseilles edition?



From wikipedia:
The Tarot deck was probably invented in northern Italy in the fifteenth century. It is now ascertained that tarot cards were introduced into southern France from northern Italy when the French conquered Milan in the Piedmont in 1499. The antecedents of the Tarot de Marseille would then have been introduced into southern France at around that time. The game of tarot died out in Italy but survived in France and Switzerland. When the game was reintroduced into northern Italy, the Marseille designs of the cards were also reintroduced to that region.

The only reason I mention the above, was I wanted to point out the year.
1499.
7 years after the ransacking began in the New World, in 1492.

The above wreath contains the 3 colors we see represented on the sub-atomic Microcosmic level appearing in quarks.
The Red Eagle is in opposition or opposite to the Blue Bull and the Yellow Lion is also present. These are the 3 quark colors.

But in the Human figure we see all three colors represented, along with the color white.
The yellow or gold is associated with a crown or halo, and the red wings of the eagle provide the ‘lift-off’, the ability to ascend.
Red is associated with fire and fire rises.
Blue is associated with water and it naturally flows downward and outward.
(if the water does rise upward, as in evaporation, it is invisible to the naked eye)

And the blue and white clothing worn, represents the earthly material plane we are bound to, and blue and white exist as the two boundaries on the Macrocosmic scale.
I loved the dominance of the colors blue and white used for the homes in Greece.

In contrast purple and white are the colors of Judaic royalty…and it is no coincidence that Tyrian purple resides in the same part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum as Judaic Biblical blue and the color black.

And purple is a blending of the two colors red and blue, which we know, represent the two polarities male and female, positive and negative.
Red is associated with positive and blue/black is negative.

to illustrate the significance see the pic below



Above is the entire range of vibration we are aware of.
And if you go back to the photo of the Four women standing on triangles and the colors they are associated with another clue presents itself.
The three colors blue, yellow and red are associated with Water, Air and Fire.

Earth and color Green apparently stand alone.
Those 3 colors (red, blue and yellow) we know on the quantum level, in equal amounts, create invisibility, and if we add a little green … viola you have created a proverbial Garden of Eden.



Here we have a depiction of Jesus Christ centered among the 4 elements.
This is an early 16th century woodcut, an engraving.
However the artist has placed the 4 elements according to their polarity and not their placement among the celestial horoscope.
The two male principle elements Fire and Air reside above the 2 female earthy elements of Water and Earth, respectively.

Water and Earth share the same Hebrew letter, heh.
Air is vav.
Fire is yod.

Together these Four Hebrew letters spell the name YodHehVavHeh or YHVH.
And these Four Hebrew letters when associated with the astrological signs Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus, are suggesting to the Arabic Astronomer, a placement as the FOUR pillars that held up the Universe.

The four Hebrew consonants read JHWH (in German transliteration) or YHWH (in English transliteration). It is also common to use YHVH and JHVH…does not matter how you spell it … it is called the name of God or the Tetragrammaton.



(the ancients used the word tetra meaning 4, often)

Note the consistency of the symbolism.

But recall in the opening post I showed how these FOUR Royal Stars formed a Fixed Cross approximately 70,000 years ago.

And 70,000 years ago when these 4 Royal Stars represented a Fixed Cross, this is what the representation of that event might be.



The Seal of Solomon.
The above photo appeared in Paul Christian’s Histoire de la Magie, 1870

The Seal of Solomon as I have shown is really seven points.
Six are external and the magical 7th, the inner point, is invisible.

What is fascinating is the magic of the numbers contained within the hexagram.
The sum of the numbers 1-6 = 21 or the 7th point in the center.

Join the above points of the star to create X, Y and Z axis.

i.e.
1 and 6 = 7
2 and 5 = 7
3 and 4 = 7

These are how the numbers of a die appear.
The 3 pairs of opposite sides of a CUBE add up to 7.
And the sum of all 3 axis, X + Y + Z = 21

Also I have shown by joining that dots that ALL symbols suggesting 6 points around a center, a 7th point, are suggesting the same basic architecture or geometric form shown below.



And both the esoteric Kabbalah and the Tarot are both structured on the Cube as this photo by Paul Foster Case demonstrates.



So apparently Albert Einstein was wrong.

God evidently does play with dice!
Apparently each and every 'seed of life' is paradoxically, to die for, shaped like a cube.



And a CUBE has 8 corners and a center.

8 + 1

9 aspects

and 6 sides

Let us stay on the topic of the CUBE at this TIME.

So we are told (in the west) that the discovery of the precession of the equinoxes is generally attributed to the ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus (ca. 150 B.C.), though the difference between the sidereal and tropical years was known to Aristarchus of Samos much earlier (ca. 280 B.C.).

Both appear to be hysterical and HIStorical anomalies in light of the following info I found recently.
And I do ponder sometimes how many other self-serving WMD, Words of Mass Deception, the 'THEY' have employed through the ages, these secret men's societies?

Knowledge of the Precession of the Equinoxes is as least as old as the Great Pyramid itself as the following info seems to prove.

Now the greater mystery is ... how old is the Great Pyramid?
I have seen estimates from about 5000 to 70,000 years old.



And if the Pyramid is a marker of TIME that we call the Precession of the Equinoxes, what other symbols would the creative genius of mankind manifest to express this most profound galactic alignment taking place in the heavens that reign down upon us with their starry influences?

Yes marking a particular moment in TIME, a starting point on the wheel of life were the 4 pillars marking the boundaries of a foundation of creation.
All cultures had 4 something positioned in the corners, as pillars that held up the heavens, and they were referred to as the 4 Royal Stars by Arabic Astrologers/Astronomers.
This was but one manifestation of this 'particular' galactic alignment that took place about 70,000 years ago.

Here is a site that suggests such an alignment took place.



And to quote Manly P. Hall, a 33rd degree Mason and the author of one of the greatest books on the esoteric "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" ...



Yes please note that Vega at one time was the northern pole star and will be again in the future.
Right now it is Polaris and previous to Polaris it was Thuban which is in the constellation Draco.
(Draco the Dragon ... has everything to do with northern Celt/Druid Arthurian legends that sprang up at this time...no coincidences here)

I am getting very very close to the buried treasure that lay beneath the Pyramid ...or is it a Cube?
Hmm, is half the Pyramid buried beneath the sands of time...

No coincidence that sand is rock 'made round' ... through time.
No coincidence God is referred to as the Rock.
Not a coincidence that the hardest substance known to man is a diamond ... but as it works it way to the surface it becomes one of the softest known to man ... graphite.

Life is like that.

We are ALL chips off the ole' block...
Needing to work our way to the surface...
