This is the first of four presentations offering my interpretation of the Book of Revelation. I am not religious, but way back in 1984/5 I stumbled across a model of the human brain while playing with ancient archetypal ideas and was shocked to find this model described in the last two chapters of this ancient text. Over the years more and more of the text has revealed itself. It continues to offer more information as events play themselves out. The Apocalypse is scary but I promise all turns out OK in the end. This presentation just deals with information up to chapter 3. Revelation (Part One B) comes next.

Familiarity with the Anima Mundi
presentation (also available on this
website) is not essential, but it is
recommended.
Part One A and Part One B:
Letters to the Angels.
Part Two: The New Kings.
Part Three: The Marriage of
Heaven and Earth.
2. Another name for
Revelation is
Apocalypse. The word
âapocalypseâ has come
to signify a terrifying
end-of-the-world
scenario âŠâŠ
Art work by
Kevin Gilmour
(Ouch added)
4. This interpretation proposes that what is being unveiled is our personal and
collective interrelationship with a living, evolving, cosmic intelligence.
5. Chapters 1 to 3
This is how Revelation begins âŠ
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to
pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant
John:
1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony
of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of
this prophecy, and keep those things that are written therein:
for the time is at hand.
For the purpose of this interpretation, if we take Revelation âat its wordâ,
since John wrote the words âat handâ sometime in the first Century CE
we can infer that the timescale in this text is not referring to a personal
timescale but to time understood from a collective evolutionary
perspective.
6. It continues ..
1:9 I, John, both your brother and companion in
tribulation ... was on the isle that is called Patmos for
the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Sporades
There is nothing in the
Wiki write-up to
suggest the
symbolism in
Revelation has any
connection with
astrology â but the
fact he is on Patmos is
edifying âŠ
7. This is also from Wiki:
Adela Collins a theologian at the University of
Notre Dame writes: "Early tradition says that John was banished to Patmos
by the Roman authorities. This tradition is credible because banishment
was a common punishment used during the Imperial period for a number of
offenses. Among such offenses were the practices of magic and astrology.
And Plini: âThree of the islands in the Sporades were places where political
offenders were banished." (Natural History 4.69-70; Tacitus Annals 4.30) 7
So might John have been banished to Patmos
because he was into astrology?
Note. At the end of this
treatise John threatened
anyone who messed
with his text with
retribution - which is
probably why it has not
been removed from the
Bible. I am only dealing
here with the bits I think I
understand - I have left
out huge chunks.
I am hoping to get away
with it !
8. You can still visit the monastery of St John
the Divine. You can visit using Google Earth!

9. These are the two great
people whose work has
provided me with the
information that
enabled me to interpret
Revelationâs enigmatic
symbolism.
C G Jung is pictured
with his diagram of the
Anima Mundi published
in his book AION, and
Liz Greene is the
Jungian astrologer who
produced the model
(based on Jungâs
diagram) on her right.
Liz has listed the cognitive functions long identified with the four elements of
the Anima Mundi. Her inspiration is to draw attention to mixed functions
where the elements merge.
Anima Mundi, ÏÏ ÏÎź ÎșÏÏÎŒÎżÏ , translates as Mundi/world Anima/alive
(as in animate and animal), also called World Mind or World Soul.
10. Here is Jungâs diagram representing the Anima Mundi. I have added the
Elements. Planet Earth is the only planet that we have found (so far) that
supplies the perfect conditions that separate the elements so that they exist
independently. On this diagram the Four Elements are arranged according to
gravity. This is the âfemaleâ arrangement. There is a âmaleâ arrangement that
arranges them according to the seasons (see Galen).

11. The ancient Chinese text called I Ching, or
YiJing, is also involved in this elucidation.
These stacks of lines are called hexagrams,
they develop naturally like a plant and are
read from the bottom up.

The last two hexagrams, hexagram number 63, After Completion, and 64,
Before Completion, display a different sort of order â they alternate.
12. E = mc 2
Jung called the I Ching a Chinese science. He
understood that yang and yin are representative
of energy and mass. (See essay, Synchronicity and
Relativity) . Einstein's equation was new and
exciting at the time Jungâs friend Wilhelm was
introducing his translation of this ancient Text.

The binary system, through the influence of
Leibniz (who owned an I Ching), George Boole,
Sanders Peirce and Claude Shannon, underpins
the working computer. An electric current is
either on or off. This is signified by noughts and
ones. Computer Basics. Time Life Books, p 30 -36.
Leibniz identified 0 with the void and 1 with God.
The ancients identified yang with âlightâ, yin with
âdarkâ: the Creative with the âopening of the gatesâ,
the Receptive with the âclosing of the gatesâ. The
binary system is a language that works as a very
effective on/off electric switching device, a quality
recognised by Peirce.

14. On the next slide I present the model that will allow us to interpret Revelationâs
text.
On the left you will see the Anima Mundi (again). I have turned it 90 degrees
and I have added the signs of the Zodiac where their qualities apply in
accordance with Lizâs positioning of the interconnected elements i.e. Pisces =
intuitive-feeling, Aries intuitive-thinking, Taurus sensual-feeling etc. Check out
Anima Mundi on Slideshare or at the website www.chrissyphilp.com.
On the right you will see our familiar Zodiac. The Zodiac allows us to tell
Cosmic Time just as the hands on a clock tell everyday time. Itâs a clock with
planets acting as hands.
The Zodiac defines the masculine archetype: the I Ching calls this The Creative
Heaven. The title Heaven couldnât be more pertinent -The Zodiac is, of course,
an ancient model of the heavens. Round and round go the hands of the clock.
The symbol for Earth is a cross. North South East and West â up down side to
side. An additional symbol for Mother Earth (mater âmatterâ ) is the cube. The I
Ching gives this hexagram the title The Receptive Earth.
Together these two primal archetypes offer us a sophisticated space-time
model. (Donât worry about understanding all of it at this point, I will refer to the
various symbols as we go along).
16. THE RECEPTIVE EARTH
Look! The Receptive
feminine model, the
Anima Mundi, includes
all yin/negative signs
on one side, and all
yang/positive signs on
the other. Just like
Mother Earth she gives
birth to both male and
female progeny.
17. This is another way of drawing up
the same pair. Based on the I
Chingâs three types of change it
illustrates additional logic.
NONCHANGE is the unchanging
background against which we
monitor change â like the face of a
clock.
CYCLIC CHANGE shows a hand (the
Sun) on the move. Its cycle is
repetitive. On The Zodiac Cyclic
Change models the season. Spring,
summer, autumn, winter. On the
Anima Mundi (here titled The Golden
City), it draws all the archetypal
energies into the centre â this is an
incarnation point we experience as
âbeing here nowâ.
SEQUENTIAL CHANGE. You need an
access to memory to be aware of this
type of change. Summer 2011 is
followed by summer 2012. Sequential
Change on the physical female
arrangement models the brain.
18. In verse 1:11 of Revelation the speaker tells us who he is ..
I am Alpha and
Omega, the first and
the last:
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Omega
is the last.
19. This is a lamp holder in the
form of The Standard of
Constantine. He saw this image
in a dream. It is called The
Labarum of Constantine: The
CHI RHO.
The letters XP (CH), signify
Christos.
It contains the Greek letters
ALPHA and OMEGA. For
Constantine they represent
GOD.
Bonhams Catalogue 2012
21. And here you can see Alpha and
Omega on the male Creative
Heaven model!
I can explain ...
This, WE KNOW, is a cosmic clock
which symbolises, not only the
beginning and the end of time, but
also the beginning and the end of
each passing moment.
You can see that I have included the
positive and negative attributes of the
signs as positive and negative
yin/yang lines within the Zodiac (just
as I did on The Receptive Earth
model).
The way the Zodiac is arranged, in
alternate signs, makes up the LAST
two hexagrams in the ancient
Chinese Book of Changes: âBeforeâ
and âAfter Completionâ!
Alpha and Omega.

The Father

The Husband
22. Because, on the Zodiac, the positive and negative signs alternate, whichever
way you turn the Zodiac it is always âBeforeâ and âAfter Completionâ, but if you
place it according to the Ptolemaic Order, with Leo and Cancer at the base, the
ruling lines mark the equinoxes, the end of Summer and the beginning of
Spring.
Alpha and Omega can be interpreted as meaning TIME and alluding to The
Creative Heaven.

sorted now. Do you?

24. And here is another
important consideration the Zodiac doesnât just
model Time. When the
hands are added (the
planets) it models time as a
process, time with purpose,
time with meaning. If we
think of The Creative
Heaven as âsoftwareâ - as
distinct from The Receptive
Earth - âhardwareâ - we can
see that using an ancient
language designed to
interpret these symbols this
chart is allowing us to
glimpse the meaning of the
Cosmic Software at this
particular time and place.
This is the equinox 2012 chart set for Bath, the city
where Uranus was discovered.
I was working on this presentation in Bath at this
moment.
26. Now we have got that ambiguity sussed this voice of Alpha and
Omega (that can be equated not only with Time and Heaven, but
also with computer software), commands John to write a letter to
each of the seven churches of Asia ...
What thou seest write in a
book, and send it unto the
seven churches ...
... a request that appears reasonable until we learn in the next
chapter that these letters are to be addressed, not to the seven
churches themselves, but to the âangelsâ of the seven churches.
All is well, the mystery is revealed âŠ.
27. 1:20 Here is the secret meaning of
the seven stars which you saw in my
right hand, and of the seven lamps
of gold: the seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches, ...
28. And here they are on the Ptolemaic Order. Sun,
Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

29. The SUN
1
As the voice dictates the
messages one by one I
will follow the order of the
planets on the Ptolemaic
Order.
I am choosing the Sun
as the primary angel
rather than the Moon. I
have reasons, the first is
that without an energy
source we are knackered
before we begin.
The second is explained
as you get to know the
DNA type pattern on this
model âŠ.
30. Here it is. Next to it you can see its yin partner, the brain
31. The Sun
Ruler of the sign Leo
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These
things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand,
and walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; ...
The Sunâs gravity could be said to âholdâ the stars if we translate stars to
mean planets. So here, as ruler of Leo, it takes the place of the first
angel of the first church.
32. And just in case
you are still unsure,
here is the Jewish
Menorah.
(John is thought by
many scholars to
be a Palestinian
Jew who wrote in
Greek.) And what
did John say? This
angel walks .. in
the midst of the
seven golden
candlesticks; .. Well
here he is â the
light in the centre.
jewishencycloped
ia.com/view.jsp?a
rtid=87&letter=C
#ixzz1Envinj5r
The Menorah.
The light in the
centre, which is
especially
distinguished,
would signify the
sun, as the chief
of the planets.
33. 2:2 ⊠and how thy cans't not bear them which are evil:
It is a well known saying that evil cannot bear the light of day.
2:3 And hast borne up my cause and never flagged.
If the speaker is Time, then the Sun is certainly to by applauded for it rises
and sets and rises and sets. It is absolutely reliable.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou
hast left thy first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent,
and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and
will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. âŠ
OH NO!
34. Donât panic âŠ. All is well.
ADD
ON
I can explain the meaning behind this accusation thanks to a email I
received when I was contemplating this verse, an email that came by
way of Barbara, Jana, and Robert Fitzgerald and then onto me. This
is what Mellen Thomas Benedict writes about his/her âDeath
Experienceâ:
âThis is how Godhead is exploring God's Self - through you. So ask
your questions, do your searching. You will find your Self and you will
find God in that Self, because it is only the Self. ⊠We are part of the
same soul fractaling out in many creative directions, but still the same.
Now I look at every human being that I ever see, and I see a soul
mate, my soul mate, the one I have always been looking for. .. If you
are looking for that ultimate soul mate outside of yourself, you may
never find it; it is not there. Just as God is not "there." God is here.
Don't look "out there" for God. ... Look through your Self. Start having
the greatest love affair you ever had ... with your Self. You will love
everything out of that.
35. 2:7 To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of
life, which is in the midst of
the paradise of God.
Here is the tree. The roots planted
in the wet rich earth, the leaves
converting carbon dioxide into
oxygen using photons supplied
by sunlight as energy.

36. Here is the Sunâs

37. 9 in the second place means
I CHING. Quote:
(Creative) Dragon
appearing in the field.
Everything âappearsâ when the
Sun shines. Yes?
And here is the Sun on the Anima
Mundi model.
The Sun comes second
on this female model. This is
where a new physical âlivingâ
being âappearsâ from out of the
womb (the Neptune/Jupiter
SOURCE) into the waiting arms of
Moon Mother and Father Sun.
39. The Sun is a star â it gives light . Space must be full of sunlight.
So why is space bright black?
40. Light needs some thing to reflect off âŠ. The Moon reflects light!
The Chinese call the light, YANG, and the matter that receives and reflects
the light, YIN. The Moon is the primary symbol of the all-important YIN.
41. THE MOON
Ruler of the sign Cancer.
2:8 And unto the angel of
the church in Smyrna write;
These things saith the first
and the last, which was
dead and is alive;
Add the Sunâs energy (spirit) to dead
matter and we have âliving matterâ.
âNow when the Creator had framed the
soul according to his will, he formed
within her the corporeal universeâ.
PLATO, Timaeus.
Isnât she lovely!

42. 2:9 I know thy works, and
tribulation, and poverty, (but
thou art rich) âŠ
Revelation tells us that the Moon is
hard pressed and poor (she has no
light of her own she reflects the
light of the Sun), but she is actually
rich. The Moon is rich in loving
feelings.
Energy expressed through the
Moon is instinctively nurturing,
sensitively responsive to the
physical needs of others an oasis
of security expanding and
contracting as she goes through
her phases.
She is the milk of human kindness.
43. 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold,
the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried;
âFrom the first dawn of life unto the grave, Poor womankind's in
every state a slave.â Sarah Egerton. 1703.
âWhat a misfortune it is to be a woman! ... Why seek for knowledge,
which can prove only that our wretchedness is irremediable? If a ray
of light break in upon us, it is but to make darkness more visible; to
show us the new limits, the Gothic structure, the impenetrable
barriers of our prison.â Maria Edgeworth. 1806.
44. ⊠and ye shall
have
tribulation ten
days:
Incarnation as âindividualâ living
breathing beings is painful - we
suffer âŠ
In Part Two you will learn that
the age of Cancer/Capricorn was
the Semitic Age, ruled by Saturn
(an authoritative father God) and
the protective, family-conscious
(tribal) Moon.
45. THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN
The gift promised to
the Sun is to eat the
food supplied by the
Moon's sign Cancer,
while the Moon gets
to wear Leoâs crown.
I wonder if this is a
clue to the gifts
received by the other
angels?
Mother/Yin/Negative
âTHE SOULâ
.. be thou faithful
unto death, and I will
give thee a crown of
LIFE.
46. 2:11 He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
âMany of the patients have spoken of the peace they experienced beautiful, indescribable peace, no pain, no anxiety. They speak of the
higher understanding that comes to all at the transition. They tell us
that all that matters is how much you have loved, how much you have
cared; and if you know these things, as I know them, then you cannot
possibly be afraid of death.â Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
To feel is to care, and to care is to suffer. If we defend ourselves against
suffering - and the Moon is concerned with the powerful instinctive reaction
of defence - then caring is obstructed.
47. The Moon is symbolised on this
Receptive Earth model by the
RULING second line of the
hexagram The Receptive.
SQUARE!
I Ching. 6 in the second place
6 in the second place
means: âStraight square, great,
without purpose, yet nothing remains
unfurthered.â
On this female model LIFE can
come into existence only after a
new body has been constructed
in the Neptune/Jupiter womb.
THE HEART
She is the ruling planet on this
material model. She is pure
âfeelingâ. In combination with her
partner, the Sun, she is âheartâ.
On the brain she marks the
position of the Cerebellum; the
primal brain; the âunconsciousâ.
CEREBELLUM
48. We have given this position a name. We call it âŠ
Me
What do you pat when you express the word me without words?
Yes, your heart. The physical heart is dependent on the energy of the
Sun .. de boom .. de boom .. the Moon in I Ching language is Kan. Kan
means Blood. Together they shunt the blood around the body.
Our physical emotional being is centred, here, in our heart.
49. This is the Moon
position on the
ZODIAC.
Together with itâs
positive/yang partner, the
Sun, they make up the
yin/yang connection LIFE.
On this male, Creative
model life comes first.

50. Energy is yang, and the caring that results from the flow when it takes on the
burden of living flesh is Receptive, yin. The Creative flowing in conjunction with
its complementary partner, the Receptive, is experienced by us as mother love,
the instinct to care, to nurture and protect .
52. 3. MERCURY
2:12 And to the
angel of the church
in Pergamos write;
These things saith
he which hath the
sharpe sword with
two edges;
MERCURY is the MESSENGER OF THE GODS,
ruler of the sign Gemini, complementary ruler
of the sign Virgo.
We donât think of Mercury as aggressive, but
the Geminian Dioscuri ruled the Roman Cavalry
who rode out brandishing swords, and Virgo is
known to be uncomfortably critical. Mercury at
this period of history ruled Virgo as well as
Gemini.
Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burkâs Tarot
53. Mercury is accused of
⊠dwelling where Satan dwells.
Clever Mercury is the God of thieves and liars and .. yes ..
journalism. And let me see .. um .. advertising. Later on we see
that Saturn (old Satan) has a lot to do with business. Mercury, the
messenger, is god of the agora, the marketplace.

54. Mercury is the part of our brain on the
Receptive Earth model that we call the
Motor Cortex.
MIND
Saturn FOREBRAIN
Saturn
Satan, astrological Saturn, stands for
AUTHORITY; here he is ruling the
Forebrain where âidentityâ resides.
Saturn stands for secular rules and
regulations. They are corrupt if they
take no account of the heart.
The Motor Cortex sits right up
against the Saturnian forebrain. It is all
Mind and no Heart. Oooh look at this! ..

55. Astrologers know that Mercury rules the third house of education. He
communicates IDEAS. Now we learn that this Mercury cognitive function
... taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children
of Israel âŠ.
There is only
One God
and His Name is
Derrick
But, donât panic
Because, if you worship
him in his special temple
and give his priests gifts
(like money and stuff)
he will look after you..
Here are some ideas that if passed onto the young by Saturnian authority
might constitute a bit of a stumbling block.
56. But whatâs âthisâ?
âŠ. to eat food sacrificed to idols and
commit fornication.
If idols are man-made gods, then, working as a team, dexterous Mercury and
skilful Virgo can manufacture idols with ease. Here this pair are accused not
of making the idols, but eating the food sacrificed to the idols. I suppose
Christ did say; âMan does not live by bread aloneâ. Perhaps this refers to us
digesting stupid ideas ... but whatâs with this fornication?
.. Why

people up and

The Ruling line of The Creative:
9 in the fifth place means: Flying

Well, Mercury is an Air sign, and
here you can see it sits on the
heaven/male right-brain side of this
Receptive model, and Mercury is
always pictured with wings â the
famous wings of thought.

This is Mr CLEVER.
It was this little man who
came up with the
irresponsible âDerrickâ.
Do you want him to
conceptualise another god for
you? He can make a statue of
your favourite deity too if you
like (Virgo rules craftsmanship). Just look at these
hands!
Or he can use Twitter. Easy
peesy ... no problemo.
60. 2:16 Repent or I shall come to thee
quickly, and will fight against them
with the sword of my mouth.
Symbolically this is the tongue that can
cut through confusion with Virgoan
precision, but which also can injure with
criticism or with Geminian gossip and
slander.
Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo on
the old Ptolemaic Order.
Gemini Mercury is concerned with
passing around ideas while Virgo Mercury
rules libraries, places where our ideas are
stored for the benefit of posterity.
I have chosen this
amazing picture as I
need you to remember
this âswordâ - it is
mentioned again in Part
Two in relation to what
I interpret as mercurial
planetary symbolism.
62. Shuuuush
2:17 He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the spirit saith unto the
churches. To him that overcometh I
will give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and
in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he
that receiveth it.
A white stone is something you can write on
â like a virgin (Virgo) sheet of paper - and this
is the letter to the angel at Pergamos.
Parchement, charta pergamia, derived its name
from Pergamos.
Wow!
63. And here is âMessengerâ off to take a look at Mercury and send
information back to us on Planet Earth.
Why do scientists, who disapprove of astrology with such bloodyminded determination, use astrologyâs symbolism so effectively?
64. THE END of Part One A.
So hello everyone.
We have familiarised ourselves with the
model that will help us understand Revâs
text and we have heard what Alpha and
Omega have to say to the Sun, the Moon,
and Mercury. In Part One B we learn what
advice Alpha and Omega have to give to
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
The longer I contemplate these letters the
more impressed I am with the wisdom
they contain.
