What if the "City of God" ... was Electric?

It's not often that a book smacks you full across the face and leaves your jaw on the floor, and you in absolute gobsmacked stunned silence. But, yesterday ... was one of those days.

It started off innocuously enough, revisiting a question a colleague had posed a week ago, now that I had the last book in my hands from the late Dwardu Cardona, entitled "Newborn Star" (the last of his "God Star" series, prior to his passing).

The subject here is none other than the original provocation for the myth-making epoch, viewed, not from the point of view of the Standard Model of Cosmology, or really the "Standard Model" of anything (history, religion, mythology, etc.), but from the point of view of a rogue band of comparative mythologists and neo-Velikovskians, who have been tirelessly trying to reconstruct that which the ancient authors, thinkers, oral historians have told us, in their own way, in their own idioms and metaphors, in their own words (many of which, modern humanity simply no longer understands, not as they did).

This subject is far larger than what I can or will present here today. If you want the full story, you need to head over to www.thunderbolts.info, www.holoscience.com, www.electric-cosmos.org www.maverickscience.com, www.mythopedia.com, www.catastrophism.com, you need to read the Kronos & AEON journals, Pensée, the Thoth newsletters, you need to watch the Saturn Myth and Electric Universe presentations and videos. 

To majorly over-simplify, the ancients universally identified/proclaimed Saturn as our original 'Sun' and/or or original 'God,' Mars as the 'Warrior Hero,' Venus as the 'Great Comet,' 'Queen of Heaven,' 'Morning Star,' and later as the bringer of chaos and destruction. Plenty other mythological associations exist between these planets and mythic figures, and events, and specific symbols, relationships between these objects, gods, monsters, names, events, etc. This was also named that, this turned into that, which had this other name, etc., etc. On and on. They were often extremely specific. There are also symbols and pictographs carved in stone, or otherwise affixed to stone, for the ages. Symbols consistent around the world, in places that had no contact, yet they all drew, they all *saw* the same things [in the sky above them, as a celestial inter-planetary drama that has echoed down the ages through oral history, myth, religion, culture, & civilization itself].

Today's foray, however is a relatively small sampling... We shall concern ourselves with several symbols (previously identified), some mythological motifs, and an unexpected result from cutting edge plasma science research.

What Has Come Before

In the course of investigating the themes, imagery, personages, events recorded in mythology, it became apparent that if the things referred to in ancient mythology did in fact involve planetary bodies, in close proximity, there must be some explanatory physical processes involved, to account for the various forms seen in the sky, the events witnessed, the destruction wrought.

Inevitably, after much research, many arguments, discussions, papers, collaborations, newsletters, conferences, etc., general consensus has settled upon the strongest force in the universe (the electric force) and the fourth [some might argue 'first'] state of matter: plasma.

The Squatter Man

Around the world, the same pictograph, carved in, or painted on, stone. The "stick man" or "squatter man."

This symbol is now believed to have been part of an evolving plasma discharge (seen / drawn edge-on, in profile so-to-speak), elaborated by plasma physicist Anthony Peratt.

A number of picture of the day articles and blogs [1, 2, 3, ...] have been devoted to this association. It was also elaborated upon in the first episode of the Symbols of an Alien Sky videos (starting at approximately 18:45 in).

The Cosmic Thunderbolt (Thunderbolts of the Gods)

Similarly to the "stick man" or "squatter man," additional symbols are associated with the "thunderbolts of the gods" around the world.

These too are believed to be the visual representations of an evolving plasma discharge, as modeled by plasma physicists:

This has also been elaborated upon in Symbols of an Alien Sky.

Backbone of the Sky

Likewise, the symbolic representation of the "backbone of the sky" finds root in plasma physics as well.

This has also been covered in a number of picture of the day and blog articles [1, 2, 3] and podcasts [4].

Today's "Revelations"

As I was perusing Dwardu Cardona's last published book ("Newborn Star"), prior to his passing, I happened upon some curious passages on pages 432 & 433 and then again on page 435, in sections entitled "Queen of the Seven" and "The City of God":

"...the goddess was reputed to been the holy queen of the Annunaki, which makes her, together with An, the presiding ruler over the seven-walled celestial temple." (pg. 432)

"The celestial Uruk was said to have been encircled by seven walls, or to have been laid by seven sages, which brings us back to the seven encirclements that evolved around the proto-Saturnian orb." (pg. 433)

"A Babylonian text claims that Ninurta built a wall, although it is not said that this wall surrounded him. The Phoenicians, however, did believe that Saturn ended up surrounding his abode by such a wall. Now, as it happens, the word for 'wall' in various Semitic dialects is a variation of h-y-t -- thus hait or hayt in Arabic, and ħajt in Maltese -- ... The interesting thing about this, however, is that these words all actually mean -- or were derived from terms that used to mean -- 'surround,' 'encircle,' and/or 'to encompass.' All of which seems to imply that the very word for 'wall' originated as the encircling enclosure around what all religions proclaim to have been God or his habitation." (pg. 435)

Well, this was all rather interesting... So, I decided to look into the book index to see if there were references to the 'seven walls,' it pointed me towards the entries for 'rings.' I paged back through a few references to 'rings' and finally set eyes upon pages 239 to 247, which included several examples of carved rock art depicting concentric circles, which Dwardu has equated to rings of debris thrown off by Saturn, which may have settled into what are now Saturn's rings.

A interesting passage describes the behavior associated with these "rings" or enclosures, whatever they are alleged to be:

"There is also an indication that the proto-Saturnian rings were actually seen to rotate. Thus, for instance, the divine court of Osiris/Saturn was known as the shenit, a term that is related to shenu and shen-t, the meanings of which are given as 'circuit,' 'circle,' 'periphery,' 'circumference,' but also as 'orbit,' 'revolution,' 'a circuiting,' and 'a going round.'" (pg. 241)

If one leafs a few pages further back, one comes across the section entitled "Concentric Enclosures," wherein one finds an interesting passage:

"Halos were, as they still are, also known as glories. In the book of Enoch, God's glory is alluded to as a 'flaming fire' that was 'round about him.' Elsewhere we read of 'the glory of the Lord that was like a devouring fire.' What is more important is that the glory, or halo was said to have consisted of 'seven sheaths of fire, laid one over another.'" (pg. 234)

Paging further back to pages 230 to 231, we find a section entitled "The Seven Heavens" with he following passage:

"God is not only said to have 'made firm the heavenly circle,' but, very much as in ancient Egyptian belief, to have divided it into seven hekalot, or heavenly halls, or, as elsewhere indicated, to have 'created seven circles from inside.' More than that, these seven hekalot were themselves explicitly described as having been nothing more than the seven heavens said to have been created by God. These heavens were said to have consisted of fire and water, which fire was stressed not to have been of an earthly or physical nature." (pg. 231)

Skipping ahead again to Chapter 17, and the section "Divine Purple," on pages 266 and 267, it is emphasized that purple / blue was considered a ritually sacred color associated with God's domain as observed in the heavens, and ritually emulated / reproduced here on Earth by way of blue / purple linens encircling the tabernacle, or holy space, used to ritually represent "God's [terrestrialized] dwelling place."

This brings us to today's possible "revelation," from the cutting edge plasma physics experiment known as the SAFIRE [Solar Atmospheric Function in Regulation Experiment] Project. The project aims to use modern scientific methodology, practices, and equipment to test the Electric Sun / Electric Star hypothesis via DoE (Design of Experiment) methodology. If you wish to know more about that project, you can view the YouTube Playlist.

In particular, relevant to today's topic, in performing plasma experiments in the lab, something unexpected happened. An anomalous structure that nobody was expecting appeared in the chamber. An enclosing, glowing, energetic structure encircled the anode (positive spherical electrode), then another, and another, and another. Depending on how the parameters were adjusted, as many as 15 concentric shells of energetic, glowing plasma were created. Not only did they glow, but they moved, and rotated.

Upon further investigation, they found that these structures were electrical double layers, and that depending upon the parameters of the experiment they could produce many, many such shells.

The tentative question I pose today is whether this unexpected structure fits, as other plasma physical structures have fit previous visual depictions of mythical symbols & motifs, what Dwardu Cardona has called the "Concentric Enclosures" motif of mythology, and/or the specifics of certain known representations of those motifs?

Has modern science quite possibly accidentally explained the 'original provocation' for the mythological descriptions of the "concentric enclosures" and "heavenly abodes" of the earliest conceptions of "God" (as a central body [planet] dominating the visible heavens)? In one of its active phases, did Saturn develop concentric enclosing "double layers" that would have been visible to mankind, giving rise to the myth-making epoch?

Does it fit most, or all, of the bills? Concentric enclosures? Whirling or rotating nature? Visual comparisons to "sheaths of fire," "laid one over another"? Even explaining the association of the holy color(s) blue/purple?

Have we, quite possibly, nailed down yet another plasma physical process that accounts for one of the many forms allegedly seen in the skies, giving rise to the myth-making epoch, as Mankind struggled to make sense of the chaos transpiring in the skies above them?
