Revelation Part Three is a study of the last two chapters, chapters 21 and 22. These are the chapters that alerted me to the idea that the brain model, the model based on the Anima Mundi, is also The Golden City described in this ancient text. Perhaps when we understand how integrated our intelligence is with Mother Earth and how dependent we are on cosmic forces we will gain some much needed humility, desist from pushing our weight around, learn to live in accord with what the ancient Chinese called the Tao, and get it right in the end.

2. Now we get to the last two chapters. These are the chapters that astonished
me by describing the model that I had inadvertently stumbled across hidden
within Liz’s diagram of the interrelating cognitive functions on the Anima
Mundi. Some of the verses are still an enigma. The one which lists the gem
stones The City is based on I shall leave to you though my husband has
pointed out that ‘lithic’ technology, lithic means ‘stone’, underlies our
present civilisation. Here is the invitation to the wedding posted back in
Chapter 19 verse 9, after the fall in Chapter 18, but before Faithful and True
ride out on the white horse in chapter 19 verse 11. I think it identifies our
first view of our planet and the astronauts and cosmonauts who personally
experienced this first view all knew just how ‘blessed’ they were.
19:9 And he saith unto
me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb.
‘We hope that you too will
experience this new
connection between us
human beings and our home
planet ... It is the golden
thread that connects us all ..’
Russell L. Schweickart. From
The Home Planet, by Kevin
W. Kelly (for the Association of
Space Explorers).
3. In the very first verse of Chapter 21
the Bride appears as The Holy City.
4. 21.1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth …
21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down .. from heaven prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband.
5. 21:9 ... Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lambs'
wife. 21:10 It had the radiance of some priceless jewel ....’
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell writes: ‘Suddenly from behind the rim of the
moon .. there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel, a light delicate skyblue sphere laced with slowly swirling veils of white.’

6. 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great
and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the
holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Russell L. Schweickard
describes how it felt to
look down on Earth
from space:
‘For me, this experience was a
dramatically enlarged version of
looking out over hills and valleys
spreading into the distance after
having climbed a high mountain
peak.’
7. These last two chapters of Revelation, 21 and 22, have long been understood
to introduce a New Age. We took a quick look at Ages in Part Two, perhaps
we need to understand the mechanics behind them?
The horoscope is a cosmic clock that doesn’t just have moving hands, it has
a moving face that keeps it aligned both with Earth’s spin, and her place on
her trip around the sun. So, to keep tabs on her movement we have two
significant points on the face of this clock. The first is 00 Aries; the first day of
spring. Babylonians celebrated their New Year on the first day of spring. 00
Aries is the point in the heavens behind the Sun at midday. The Sun (the most
important hand) then passes through 30 degree divisions called signs so we
know where we are in the year. It’s summer in the northern hemisphere when
the Sun is in Cancer and when it’s in Capricorn it’s winter.
The second significant point is the Ascendant. The Asc aligns the face of
our clock in relation to where we are at any particular place and time on the
surface of our planet. It points to the degree of the sign that is rising on the
Easterly horizon as the Earth turns. The Sun’s position in relation to the
horizon tells us the time of day. The Sun will always be at the apex of the
chart, the MC, at midday, but the Ascendant will be pointing at a different sign
dependent on where we are on the surface of our planet.
So 00 Aries gives us the starting point of the Tropical Zodiac, the Zodiac that
is relative to our common experience, the first day of spring in the Northern
hemisphere, and the Asc gives us the starting point of a ‘horoscope’ aligning
the Zodiac in relation to a specific time and place on a specific day. It marks
the start of the first house which carries Aries connotations.
8. I have set one of these charts for the equinox in
Bath UK, 2012. The other chart is set for Quito in
Ecuador (Ecuador means equator). In Bath the
Ascendant is 29 degrees Aquarius and the Sun, at 00
Aries, has not yet risen. In Quito the Asc is 29 degrees
Gemini and the Sun is high in the sky.

9. These pictures show two
equatorial fields - anomalies
caused by the interaction of
gravity and spin.
Earth has a celestial
equatorial field. It is invisible
but it is utilised by satellites in
geostationary orbit. The Sun’s
field is invisible too but most of
the planets orbit on or near the
Sun’s equatorial field.
Looking at Saturn
and the Sombrero
galaxy, you can see
that sprinkled with
dust and ice (just like
iron filings around a
magnet) an
equatorial field is
clearly visible.
Equatorial fields
can extend into
space over great
distances.
How big is the
Sombrero galaxy’s?
UM … around
135,000 light years.
10. On this diagram the Sun – the yellow circle - is orbiting around us - the blue
circle in the middle. We know that it doesn’t really, this is the twenty-first
century, but the Sun does go round us from our perspective on Earth, and
so, from our standpoint, this is an accurate representation. I have taken the
liberty of colouring the fields so that they are visible within the Sun’s orbit. In
reality the fields extend beyond the boundaries pictured here.
1) The Tropical Zodiac identifies the intersection between Earth’s celestial
equatorial field (green disc) and the Sun’s celestial equatorial field (yellow).
2) The Horoscope identifies the intersection between the event’s horizon
projected into space (purple disc) and the Sun’s celestial equator.

12. This is Wiki’s rather better diagram
of the same mechanics.
There will undoubtedly be a person
on the equator somewhere – perhaps
on Isabella Island - but he/she is
(obviously) too small to see.
13. Here is the situation from an objective point of view (or as viewed by USS Enterprise). Earth orbits close to the Sun’s equatorial field. Earth is tilted at twentythree-and-a-half degrees to her orbital plane. These fields interact through Earth
and the Sun at the equinoxes. Intermingling fields cause interference (this
might be an important observation) – see presentation Astrology Fights Back.

15. Great Ages tell us how were are aligned in
relation to the fixed stars of the Milky Way.
The gravitational forces of the Sun and
Moon cause Earth to wobble on her axis.
Her North pole, and therefore her celestial
equator, shift relative to the surrounding
Galaxy.
16. The north pole

20. Ed’s own words …
Astrological Journal
March/April 2010. Page 53.
21. Is Ed onto something?
We can see that Regulus stands
between Moon ruled Cancer and Sun
ruled Leo identifying the two most
important planets in the Revelation text.
Ed notes that this pair marks this allimportant division on the Ptolemaic
Order. This is Ed’s diagram. It is the
same on the Anima Mundi isn’t it? This
is the complementary pair that stand for
LIFE. I like this model because it fits
with all our other models.
On the next slide you will once more
see the diagram of World Ages we
Astrological Journal Nov 2
looked at in Part Two.
2010. p.51
This time I want to draw your
attention to the fact that Ages have a
noticeable seed point .
22. Time scales are very, very, approximate.
Cupid
Venus
Paris
The martyred
Christ is born of
a Virgin Mother,
a powerful
Piscean/Virgoan
story.
The story of how the very Martian Trojan Wars
began tells how young Paris ran off to Troy with
the beautiful Helen after he had chosen Venus as
his preferred goddess (well, she did offer him the
most beautiful woman on Earth and he was only
a young lad). You can see him choosing Venus
here - it’s a favourite story for artists – Venus
Flood
rules art doesn’t she?
Helen was already married to someone else (OH NO! She wasn’t was she? Yes she was.) This
story is redolent with Aries Libra images.
23. Aquarius/Leo
story ?
So, if this is another Age, what is going
on here? Perhaps we should think of
an Aquarius/Leo scenario.
Is there something special about
this famous Princess who was born
when the Moon was in Aquarius ruled
by Uranus in Leo?
24. Astrologers describe the chart for Charles and Diana’s wedding as a ‘wrong’
chart because it doesn’t describe a happy marriage, but look, it speaks of the
birth of princes. Is there something special about these royal children born of a
famous princess who cared deeply about the people. From the point of view of
the universe this chart might be absolutely right. Moon, mother, conjunct Mars,
boys, in Moon-ruled
Cancer on the MC, and
Jupiter, crown
prince, conjunct
Saturn, ruler, in the 12th
house womb just waiting
to be born.
Astrologers have
suggested that the star
of David was actually a
Saturn Jupiter
conjunction. triple
Plugging into the
Jupiter Saturn by
sextile and trine, and
illuminated by the
Sun, the Moon’s nodal
axis is 01 degrees
Leo/Aquarius.
25. In the next diagram you will see that Ages are either male/creative - right
brain, or female/receptive - left brain. This means they are either evolving our
understanding of our physical world (think hardware) or our
symbolic, theoretical world (software) - a world of archetypes and processes.
The Age of Taurus/Scorpio developed hardware. It was Receptive because
the complementary properties are negative – Earth and Water. During this
age we learnt to manage our material world. We learnt to manage money and
build big. The Age of Aries/Libra was positive and Creative, therefore
concerned with software. The ideas and stories, symbols and myths, created
during this age are still with us today. Think of the gods on mount
Olympus, and what about democracy, and then there is Plato, Pythagoras
, Aristotle and Euclid etc ... we still discuss their ideas today?
The age of Pisces/Virgo has been another female age. Hospitals began in
monasteries. We understand how our bodies work so successfully we can
take bits out and replace them. It has taken us the full 2000 years to learn
how this can be done. We have also developed our knowledge of our planet
and surrounding heavens.
Armed with our newfound genius we have recently constructed the
computer, a material object that has shown us the importance of ‘software’ –
so we are led into a New Age in which the photoelectric effect (a photon is a
light particle (Sun) electric (Uranus) lights up our television, computer and
telephone screens, an ‘information processing’ age.
During the New Age maybe we will develop our understanding of universal
software and define ourselves in relation to our developing understanding?
27. Thinking in terms of archetypal Aquarius and Leo, here
are some more Age related symbols.
For Leo:
‘…the Lapis Philosophorum, is so
distinctly marked in the literature
we have no difficulty in
recognising it as a symbol of ...
‘The Self.’
Jung, Aion, p. 268
And Aquarius:
‘The air realm is the world of archetypal ideas
behind the veil of the physical world, the cosmic
energy actualised into specific patterns of thought.
It is associated with geometric lines of force
functioning through the mind, the energy
which shapes the patterns of things to come’.
Stephen Arroyo, Astrology, Psychology and the Four Elements, CRCS
Publications, 1975.
28. And this is the diagram I drew way back in 1988 before I had
read the Revelation texts, well before I even knew the
background for this model was Jung’s Anima Mundi. It looks
just like a marriage of Heaven and Earth to me.
HEAVEN
EARTH
Geometric lines of force ...
functioning through the mind?
29. Jung points out that the mandala of THE SELF, Anima Mundi, World
Soul, World Mind, or Lapis Philosophorum, features in ALL World Ages. He
say that it is the psychic basis for Christianity’s obsession with the CROSS (p
240 ).
‘It is what is called ultimo exquadra circulae, the
square in the circle, or the circle in the square. It
is an age-old symbol that goes right back to the
pre-history of man. It is all over the earth and it
either expresses the deity or the self;’
Conversations with Carl Jung and Reactions from Ernest Jones. Richard I.
Evans. Publisher: D. Van Nostrand Company. Princeton, NJ. 1964.
‘The lapis (the philosopher’s stone) consists of the four
elements or has to be put together from them’.
Morienus, from Tractatus Aureus, Aion, p 236-237.
‘And as a man is made up of four elements, so also is the
stone, and so it is dug out of man, and thou are its ore’.
Ibid, p. 168.
30. So here (again) are the two
people I must thank for this
model. Jung is looking at this
copy of his Anima Mundi
diagram in AION, and Liz is
smiling at me (I took this
photo.)
Next to Liz is her
inspirational diagram from
Relating. Liz is a Jungian, her
diagram is based on the same
underlying organisation
pictured in Jung’s book but
with cognitive functions added.
31. And here are the Spirit and the Bride again. You will recognise
this diagram if you have familiarised yourself with Part One in
which I imposed it onto you every few slides.
HEAVEN

The Spirit

32. 21:12 And it had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates and at
the gates twelve angels ….
And this brings us back to the
description of the Bride .. um .. City
.. um ... New Earth. Right .. that’s
exactly what we have here. Four
walls, each with three entrance-exit
gates with an angel at each gate.
21:14 And the wall of the city
had twelve foundations..
21:13 On the east three gates;
on the north three gates; on
the south three gates; and on
the west three gates.
Twelve planetary energies standing at the gate of twelve signs, on a
foundation of twelve houses. Right!
33. Now we take a look at Einstein’s famous equation. Since yin means mass and
yang energy (mass exists in space while, energy (movement) is the basis of
time) this equation is also relevant to a symbolic marriage of the Spirit and
his Bride, of Heaven and Earth.
E - energy (yang), is the same as, m - mass (yin),
2
times the speed of light, c , squared, 2.
E = mc
So Einstein is also implicated in the introduction of the New Age! And look,
Wilhelm’s translation of the I Ching agrees.
The Creative Heaven is represented as
unrestricted by any fixed conditions in space
and is therefore conceived of as motion. Time
is … the basis of this motion’. Wilhelm I Ching.
E
According to metrology light moves at 186,291 miles
per second. Nassim Haramein suggests this wiggly
line is spin viewed side on. The Creative’s symbol is
the circle that moving through time creates a spiral:
Nassim might very well be right.
The Receptive Earth:
‘Straight square great without
purpose’. Wilhelm I Ching.

34. So, back to apocalypse (which we know means unveiling)
and the description of the Bride.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as
the breadth: … The length and breadth and height of it are equal.
Brides aren’t usually described
as cubes, are they? Neither are
cities, but the Anima Mundi
model, the model we equate with
The Receptive Earth, is
symbolised by a cube. So that’s
OK.

35. 21:21 The street of the
city was pure gold, as it
were transparent glass ..
The Sun rising over the Earth.
ADD ON
Terry Ilott reminded me that space visors are
coated with gold to protect the wearer from
harmful radiation just as Earth's atmosphere and
magnetic field protects life on planet Earth.
36. 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty
and the Lamb are the temple of it.
‘My view of our planet was a glimpse of divinity’. Edgar Mitchell
Anima Mundi means Living World. If you are alive, here, on this
extraordinary planet, you are in the temple, you are divine. In the
previous age of Pisces Jesus carried the quality of divinity. In this New
Age of Aquarius we see that we are all divine and wherever we are (we
might be on the Moon) we carry the temple with us as the Anima Mundi
is not just our living planet but also the lines of force active in our
brains.
It takes nine months to make a baby. It has taken billions of years to
make a brain and Revelation seems to be suggesting that it is
presently in the process of being seriously upgraded.
‘During a space flight, the psyche of each astronaut is reshaped.
Having seen the sun, the stars, and our planet, you become more full
of life, softer. You begin to look at all living things with greater
trepidation and you begin to be more kind and patient with the people
around you. At any rate that is what happened to me.’
Boris Volynov. The Home Planet
37. These are the ‘Complementary Connections’ on our Anima Mundi model.
They rise from the Neptune-Jupiter womb, are born into the arms of mother and
father, Sun-Moon, where they are confronted with the constant change we call
Time, Mars-Pluto. Out of the point of incarnation in the centre (where all the
energies combine) a recognisable Form develops, Venus-Earth, a Form that can
be Worked with, Mercury-Chiron-Asteroids, to create a product, Saturn-Uranus,
Wealth. But this product is unstable. The flow breaks up at the top and returns
to the Source ready for a new cycle. This flow is a river, a River of Life, a river
that depicts both the cogitations of a moment and the experiences of a lifetime.

38. So this verse can come as no surprise.
11
22:1 And he showed me a pure
river of water of life clear as
crystal, proceeding out of the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
Is ‘SOURCE’ the throne of God and the
Lamb? Neptune ruled the Age of Pisces
and a symbol for Christ is the sacrificial
lamb (also the Piscean fishes) and
Jupiter is king of the Gods? Or could it
be Saturn/Uranus – the 7th gate?
Here is the clue to
Tree of Life
what comes next.
39. When we put the elements up the
way they are arranged by gravity it is
easy to construct ‘a tree’ out of the
organisation of the Anima Mundi.
Remember this is the same tree that
was given as a gift to the Sun in the
letters to the angels.
The roots of the tree are planted in
the wet earth. Osmosis draws up water
and chemicals needed for creating
more tree. The leaves of the tree are
factories. They utilise carbon dioxide
(air) using photons (light from the Sun)
as energy. Oxygen is the by-product.
This process is called photosynthesis.

40. 22:2 In the midst of the
street of it, and on either side
of the river, was there the tree
of life, which bear twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded
her fruit every month: and
the leaves of the tree are for
the healing of the nations.
And look, this tree does indeed
grow on both sides of the river,
trees don’t usually straddle both
sides of a river do they? And it
really does have twelve fruits
one for each of the seasons.
I hope this means that in the
future we will learn to produce
energy through photosynthesis,
just like plants do. We are not
going to run out of sunlight for
billions of years. See, New Scientist
14 April 2012 p 29.
41. Do you REMEMBER THIS?
2:17 ... 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.
AND NOW
THIS?
19:12
His eyes were as a flame of
fire, and on his head were
many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man
knew, but he himself.’
This ‘name’ is the gift to Mercury, the last
of the angels to find a partner. Mercury is
pure air, thinking. ‘I’ is what we call our
‘thinking selves’. No man can know
another man’s ‘I’. Me (Moon) is what we
call our physical self. Remember? We say I
am me. ‘Am’ is the operative word. On the
model ‘consciousness’ results from the
attraction between this opposing pair.
42. And here is mention of
this name once again!
22:4 And they shall see his face; and
his name shall be in their foreheads.
So the Philosopher’s
Stone, otherwise called
Anima Mundi, or World Mind,
expresses ‘the deity or the
self’. And now we learn that
‘they shall see his face’ – I
suspect this face is our face
...
and ‘his name shall be in our
foreheads!’.
So the Philosopher’s Stone, otherwise called Anima Mundi, or World
Mind, expresses ‘the deity or the self’. And now we learn that ‘they shall
see his face’ - I suspect this face is our face ...
... and ‘his name shall be in our foreheads!’.
Our brains are in our foreheads and the Saturn/Uranus pre frontal cortex
where over time we build up a personal sense of identity, our wealth, is
close by the Gemini Virgo motor cortex where we name our thinking self I.
43. HERE they are on
the Anima Mundi.
In 2008 Patrick Curry and Tamara
Howard attempted to get me into the
Cambridge Brain Unit to study this
model. In 2012, at a conference in
Bristol, I listened to Professor Goodyer
of Cambridge University showing us the
results of recent research – apparently a
child’s brain develops from the back to
the front – um – like the flow from
Source to Wealth perhaps? Professor
Goodyer lamented the lack of a brain
model which he said they were unlikely
to discover in the near future. Well, here
it is, but they wouldn’t have me in
Cambridge! I wonder why?
44. Now Revelation is
winding up and that’s
a good thing as even
leaving out great
chunks its been a lot
to take in.

VENUS
The Morning Star is the name the Greeks
gave to Venus isn’t it? And I think that Venus
may be Earth’s complementary partner don’t
I?
In the letters it says that if Venus kick’s a
few bad habits – like seduction and
projection - she is going to rule the world. I
was going to say ‘good girl’ but then I
remember that Venus is ruler of a male sign.
She is positive yang – a process. It is her
consort, Earth, who gives birth to physical
life and is female.
45. 22:13 .. I am Alpha and Omega the first

So we are back at the very beginning, where we

Remember the letters to the angels? To
Venus, if her love and faithfulness win
through, is awarded the gift of … power over
the nations:
She looks like a cross doesn't she? And her Martian looking sword - yet
another cross. Perhaps Jung was right about the importance of this symbol.
Venus, at her best , is fair and reasonable. Democracy was born in Athens - is this
alluding to democracy? Athena is known for her wisdom, and Venus is also love,
beauty, joy and music. I think, today, as I have just got back from the dress
rehearsal of La Traviata with the WNO, I will go with the idea that it is our
remarkable ability to create something extraordinary and beautiful out of our
ability to pool our resources and work as a team that makes us so special.
47. My friend Ian is
manager of the
WNO, I asked him
how many people
worked on this
production. He
emailed me this
information.
40 chorus, 60 orchestra, 6
dancers, 50 technicians of
various ilks, 40 front of house
staff, Conductor, 3 music staff ,
…. in the background …
Anne
Designers, Producer, 1 set
model maker, 20 set builders and
set painters, 3 prop makers .
Tony
48. 229 people all
working together!
Venus rules OK.
And Ian hasn’t counted the designers and makers of the
musical instruments, or Verdi, or the men who made the ink and
the paper on which Verdi wrote his score, or the librarians who
archived this work of genius for posterity, or the architects and
builders of the Millennium Centre, or the appreciative audience
OR Ian himself.
I am stopping at this point or I could go on for a lot longer (I
don’t think I am exaggerating either).
49. Think of it ...
I can’t fly like my
greenfinches, swim like a
dolphin or run like a
cheetah, I am not as strong
as an elephant or as
beautiful as a butterfly. I
can’t think of one creature
who can’t do something
better than I can - but the
world is my oyster because
I belong to a species that
enjoys pooling its
resources and sharing its
talents, a species that has
an innate desire to please
the other and leave behind
something of value for the
next generation.
This is how the
wonderful William puts it.
But be contented when that fell arrest
Without all bail shall carry me away.
My life hath in this line some interest
Which for memorial still with thee shall stay,
When thou reviewest this thou dos’t review
The very part was consecrate to thee,
The earth can have but earth, which is its due
My spirit is thine, the better part of me.
So then thou hast but lost the dregs of life,
A prey of worms, my body being dead,

A coward conquest of a wretches knife

always gets
Too base of thee to be remembered.

The worth of that is that that it contains
And that is this, and this with thee remains.
50. Here, in the middle,
Venus balances the energies
of Uranus, our social awareness,
our sense of being one of the people,
and the Sun, our individual creative selfexpression. Venus recognises and
appreciates ‘you’. She harmonises our
expression so that it operates effectively
within social parameters. She was born of
electric Uranus’ genitals falling into the
water, the water belonging to the Sun’s
receptive partner, the Moon. Venus is neither
as unfeeling as Uranus nor as egocentric as
the Sun. She is the mediator making peace
between these two disparate energies.
Venus combines intellectual (air) with
warmth (fire). She is in the perfect
position to make
choices that will benefit both
the Self and the
Collective.

51. ‘Esoteric doctrine tells us that Venus is
twin sister or alter ego of the earth and
that in the coming centuries she will have
greater power both astrologically and
symbolically.‘
From Liz Greene, Saturn, A New Look
at an Old Devil, page 115, 1976.
I asked Liz where she got this information – she
said maybe she made it up! It was along time ago.
This information isn’t new is it?
52. If Venus, as ruler of Libra, is partner to
our planet, ruler of Taurus - and she is
on the model isn’t she? Then can we
hope she will encourage us to treat our
home planet and all that lives upon her
with better manners? Can she help us
to stop raping our beautiful world (yes
it is rape) leaving her ‘desolate and
naked, eating her flesh and burning her
with fire.’
I do hope so.
53. Right … is this a good symbol for this New Age of Aquarius Leo? Here
is a model of the Leo ‘Self’ upon which are imprinted the Aquarian ‘lines of
force’ active in the brain.

Just to confuse you, as we
have a picture of a ‘real’ brain
here (viewed from beneath to
show the all important
Sun/Moon cerebellum), the
right brain, The Creative, is
on the left.

54. The Golden City
So we arrive back
where we began, at
The Golden City, the
female representative
of The Marriage of
Heaven and
Earth, The Creative
and The
Receptive, time and
space, energy and
mass, software and
hardware, the Spirit
and his Bride.
55. Perhaps the idea ‘a Golden City’ is also a prophecy –
in another 2,500 years, in preparation for the age of
Cancer Capricorn (structures on the Moon perhaps),
we will be designing a city in space, a city made of
glass sprayed with a fine layer of gold to exclude
harmful radiation. A golden glass globe enclosing a
great tree that soaks up the carbon-dioxide and
produces oxygen, food, and purified water. Uranus is
technology and who knows where technology will lead.
There is a hexagram called Abundance – it tells us
that abundance creates more abundance. I used to
think that if there were fewer people there would be
more to go around but my husband explained that
during the Black Death fewer people meant fewer
commodities and great poverty so perhaps I am wrong.
Maybe each one of us is a neuron in a developing
brain? (Wildly speculating again.)
I know our Earth cannot support more than a given
quantity of life, but that should provoke us to make an
effort to create a New World. If this interpretation has
any truth it suggests that we are no longer kids – we
are come of age. Perhaps it’s time for us to think about
moving out? We are inherently greedy and lazy we
won’t leave unless we are pushed.
The
Golden City?
56. This set-up looks very well organised to me.
Leo ‘the King’ is the great ‘organiser’ isn’t he?

I have already quoted the
astronaut Russell L. Schweickard
more than once but as his words
are extraordinarily apropos I have
decided to end this interpretation
quoting Russell once again. This
is also from Kevin W. Kelley’s
wonderful book The Home Planet.
‘And then you look back on the time
you were inside that EVA and on those
few moments that you could take,
because a camera malfunctioned, to
think about what was happening.
And you recall staring out there at the spectacle that went before your eyes,
because now you are no longer inside something with a window looking out at a
picture. Now you are out there and there are no frames, there are no limits, there
are no boundaries. You’re really out there, going at 17,000 miles an hour, ripping
through space, a vacuum. And there’s not a sound. There’s a silence the depth of
which you've never experienced before, and that silence contrasts so markedly with
the scenery you're seeing and with the speed at which you know you are moving.
58. And you think about what you are experiencing and why. Do you
deserve this, this fantastic experience? Have you earned this in
some way? Are you separated out to be touched by God, to have
some special experience that others cannot have? And you know
the answer to that is no. There’s nothing you have done to
deserve this, to earn this; it’s not a special thing for you. .... You
are the sensing element, that point out on the end, and that’s a
humbling feeling. It’s a feeling that says you have a responsibility.
It’s not for yourself. The eye that doesn’t see does not do justice to
the body. That’s why it’s there; that’s why you’re out there. And
somehow you recognise that you are a piece of this total life. And
you are out there on that forefront and you have to bring it back
somehow. And that becomes a rather special responsibility, and it
tells you something about your relationship with this thing we call
life. So that’s a change. That’s something new. And when you
come back there’s a difference in that world now. There’s a
difference in that relationship between you and that planet and you
and all those other forms of life on that planet, because you’ve had
that kind of experience. It’s a difference and it’s so precious. ‘
59. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who
heareth say, Come. And let him who is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.
Welcome to
LIFE
60. Life is free!
And maybe that is a good thing as sometimes it’s not easy
and some of us might want our investment returned.
But, really, it has some great moments doesn’t it, and this
Apocalypse stuff is not so bad in the end, is it?
With thanks to the internet, to the astronauts and cosmonauts, my
students and my friends, and all other amazing people who’s insight
has added to this text. I could not have done this without you.
And a final reminder, nothing I have come up with in this presentation
is sacrosanct – I am only wondering.
St John was called ‘the divine’. In this New World we are all divine - it
says so doesn’t it?
