Holos – Plotinus Theory: “We are in God; God is in us”
A beautiful summary of the poetic analogies of the work of Plotinus (and, for connection, of Amônio Saccas his Master) given by Jostein Gaarder:
¨*•.**☼** ॐ **☼**.•*¨
" Imagine an enormous bonfire burning in the middle of the night. Of the middle of the fire flashes jump in all the directions. In a wide circle about of the fire the night is lit up, and to some kilometers of distance it is still possible to see the light shine of this bonfire. As we stood back, the bonfire is going becoming a minuscule light point, as a weak lantern in the night. It is been we stiller move away ourselves, we will arrive to a point in that the light of the fire not more it gets us to reach. Somewhere the luminous rays get lost in the night and if it is very dark we won't see anything. On that moment, contours and shades stop existing ". " Now imagine the reality as being this enormous bonfire. What burns it is God - and the darkness that are outside are the cold matter, where the light is weak, of the which men are made and you encourage. Close to God is the eternal ideas, the all the creatures' causes. Above all, the human soul is a ' it twinkles of the fire'. But for the whole part in the nature appears a little of this divine light. We can see it in everybody you be they alive; yes even a rose or a campanula they possess a divine shine. In the most distant point of the alive God it is the inanimate " matter."I say that everything that we see has a little of the divine mystery. We can see the shine of this some thing in a sunflower or in a papoula. We noticed a more little of this unfathomable mystery in a butterfly that landed in a branch, or in a gold fish that anything in the fishbowl. But the closest point in than we met of God it is inside of our own souls. It is only there that can re-join with the great mystery of the life. In fact, in some rare moments "
¨*•.**☼** ॐ **☼**.•*¨
*Plotinus was born at 205 of the Christian Era, in Licopolis, Egypt, almost staying the whole youth in Alexandria up to 243 A.D. Later he funded a school in Rome, wich principles reflected his Master's Ammonium Saccas.
Jupiter Sound
NASA has recorded sounds from Jupiter after listening to them I was inspired to write this tune. Using Steinberg Hypersonic 2 I was able to recreate an almost identical sound, and that is what you hear at the start of this tune. I hope you enjoy it, Sadly youtube is mono rather than stereo so some of the stereo panning in the original is not present in the one you will hear on youtube, nevertheless close your eyes whilst listening to this and I hope you be more relaxed than before you clicked Play. Thank you for listening.

Big Bang & The Hinduism Millenary Mythology
THE COSMIC LOTUS DREAM
"The Hinduism is the only Religion in which millenaries principles of the time scales corresponds to those of Modern Scientific Cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a Day and Night of Brahma 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half of the time since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales still.
There is the deep and the appealing notion that the Universe is but the dream of the God who after a 100 Brahma years… dissolves himself into a dreamless sleep… and the Universe dissolves with Him… until after another Brahma Century… He starts… recomposes Himself and begins again the dream… The Great Cosmic Lotus Dream."

Big Bang ~ The Hinduism Millenary Theory
Airavateswarar Temple
In India, there are many gods and each god has many manifestations. These Chola (Wikipedia - Chola Dynasty & Chola Art) bronzes cast in the Eleventh Century include several different incarnations of the god Shiva. Seen here at his wedding.
The most elegant and sublime of these bronzes is a representation of the creation of the Universe at the beginning of each cosmic cycle – a motif known as the cosmic dance of Shiva. The god has four hands. In the upper right hand is the drum whose sound is the sound of creation. And in the upper left hand is a tongue of flame… a reminder that the universe now newly created… will billion of years from now will be utterly destroyed. Creation. Destruction.
These profound and lovely ideas are central to ancient Hindu beliefs as exemplified in this Chola temple at …. They are kind of reminiscent of modern astronomical ideas. Without doubt the universe has been expanding since the big bang but it is by no means clear that it will continue to expand for ever. If there is less than a certain amount of matter in the universe, then the mutual gravitation of the receiving galaxies will be insufficient to stop the expansion and the Universe will run away forever. But if there is more matter than we can see…hidden away in black holes… say or in hot but invisible gas between galaxies, then the universe holds together, and partakes in every Indian succession of cycles… expansion followed by contraction… cosmos upon cosmos…Universes without end. If we live in such an oscillating universe, then the Big Bang is not the creation of the cosmos but merely the end of the previous cycle the destruction of the last incarnation of the cosmos.
Neither of these modern cosmologies may be altogether to our liking. In one cosmology, the universe is created somehow from nothing 15 to 20 billion years ago and expands forever. The galaxy is mutually receding until the last one disappears over our cosmic horizon. Then the galactic astronomers are out of business… the stars cool and die…matter itself decays…and the Universe becomes a thin cold haze of elementary particles.
In the other, the oscillating universe, the cosmos has no beginning and no end… and we are in the midst of an infinite cycle of cosmic deaths and rebirths. With no information trickling through the cusps of the oscillation…nothing of the galaxies, stars, planets, life forms, civilizations evolved in the previous incarnation of the universe trickles through the cusp filters past the Big Bang to be known in our universe.
The death of the universe in either cosmology may seem little depressing. But we may take some solace in the time scales involved. These events will take tens of billions of years or more. Human beings or our descendants whoever they might be can do a great deal of good in the tens of billions of years before the Cosmos dies.

The Helix Nebula, which is 700 light years away in the Aquarius constellation.
It appears red in this photo because of dust.
Just amazing!!!
"THE ACQUARIAN AGE"
My Dear Friends
Now, ACQUARIAN AGE has already in progress. So, you can realize the presence of positive propensity in existing atmosphere and differentiate the transformation phase of our earth towards the EDEN also.The love, affection, as well as helping other attitude and excellence will be bestowed upon mass. Even extremist philosophy will no longer be survived in our lovable small green planet.After a lot of thought, I crave to take step forward to present one of the easiest approaches to make my dear soul to experience the significance of ‘The Heaven’, even kin to their own cycle, as is my moral responsibility. In my conviction, I don’t know whether you accept me or not it isHighly difficult for an invisible creation like us to point out THE SOLE CREATOR of limitless Cosmos in our ordinary eyes. Even it’s nearly impossible to peep HIM close by in one’s entirelifetime effort. Hence the question arises whether it is possible for average human beings to realize GOD practically; physically or not?Secondly, whether we are in HIS keen observation or not? In this regards here I would like to assist you for one’s self-contentment and fulfillment I should not impose my philosophy ontoother; one may differ to my belief as well as reflection but my one; only request for you tokindly penetrate in to the below mentioned subject and its practical approach to realize ‘HIM or HIS direction’ in the flesh.If you sincerely interested to sense HIS omnipotence; omnipresence, then please go through bellow.

PLEASE NOTE :
1) Here is my place to expose you one of your major event to realize what HE kept back for you; HIS pre-determined path for you, but simultaneously you should comprise me /have to co-operate me to provide, ‘your exact date-month-year-time and place of birth of actual’. Subsequently If you feel my inscription does not have rhythm with your past/present happenings then please feel free to inform the details of any major event with you in lastfive years So that, I can struggle again to detect; rectify the small pits, And will try to put forth you the exact month and year of that particular event.
2) If for any reason it seems high for you to deliver above-mentioned data then may kindlytake pain to write down one page or paragraph near by of 100 words stating current thought or state of mind of your own. Then also I could carry it minutiae & provide you some-thing amazing.In this rational approach I would like to serve you all from the various part of globe. After your keen observation, elucidation, realization and satisfaction if you would like to continue our divine relation to rebuild as well as regenerate ‘fraternity, peace, harmony; eternal emotion for all’, in the present surroundings collectively or individually (according to one’s own expediency and capacity) then my heart is open to render all possible support till body demand rest or exist.Hope in this way we can contribute a lot for our future generation to make our soil more greener.

ASTROSCIENCE
Historical
ASTROLOGY, (L. astrologia; Gr. astrologia; astron,-astral of, pertaining to, coming from, or like the stars, starry; and "logy" or "ology", a suffix used in English derived from the Greek and noting a science). Therefore, the science of the stars. Astrology had its origin among the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians and from them spread directly and indirectly to other nations. Of the art of those ancients we have little knowledge. From them, however, astrology came to Greece about the 4th century BC, reaching Rome before the Christian Era. The astrology of India and China is largely a reflection of the Greek theories and speculations minus practical value and application. Astrology was developed by the Arabs in the 7th to 13th centuries and became a dominating influence in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The astrology of the Babylonians, such of it as we have recovered from the ancient texts, is of little value even though it dates back as far as 3000 BC. Among these peoples, five planets were recognized, - Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Mars, to give them the order in which they appear in the cuneiform tablets. Later, Mercury and Saturn change places in the texts. These five planets were correlated with the pantheon thus: Jupiter with Marduk, Venus with the goddess Ishtar, Saturn with Ninib, Mercury with Nebo and Mars with Nergal. The movements of the sun, moon and five planets were supposed to represent the movements of the five deities mentioned together with the moon-god Sin and the sun god Shamash.
The minutia of the Babylonians, however, was surprising. Their system involved not only the movements of the sun, moon and planets, but their relative positions to one another and all kinds of peculiarities noted in their movements. For instance, in the case of the moon, - the exact appearance of the new crescent, it's position in the heavens, conditions at conjunctions and opposition, appearance of the horns, the halo often seen with the new moon, the ring around the full moon called the "stall," etc.
While we find as early as the time of Khammurabi, (2000 BC) combinations of prominent groups of stars fantastically put together we find no evidence prior to 700 BC that more than a certain number of the constellations of our Zodiac formed a part of their system. The theory of the Ecliptic as representing the course of the sun through the year, divided among twelve constellations allowing 30 degrees to each division, is known to be of Babylonian origin but was not perfected until the fall of the empire in 539 BC.
From astrological texts prior to the 7th century, it would appear that the beginning of knowledge of sun and moon eclipses belonged to the earlier period but the accurate work was after 400 BC and the inaccuracy of the Babylonian calculations is shown by the fact that as late as the 6th century BC an error of nearly a month was made by Babylonian astronomers in the attempt to determine by calculation the beginning of one particular year.
Astrology received its greatest development among the Greeks and later Egyptians. The Greek astrologer and astronomer Hipparchus holds the credit for the discovery of the "Precession of the Equinoxes," a signal advance in pure science. To the Greeks belongs the endeavor to trace the horoscope of the individual from the position of the planets and stars at the time of birth. This system was taken up by the Arab astrologers, embodied in the Kabalistic lore of the Jews and Christians and developed the substance and basis of the astrology in the Middle Ages.
Under Greek influences astrology was connected with all known sciences; botany, chemistry, zoology, mineralogy, anatomy and medicine. Colors, metals, stones, plants, drugs, animal life of the Ptolemaic system, Saturn is associated with gray, Jupiter with white, Mars with red, Venus with yellow, while Mercury held almost in highest esteem, was supposed to vary its color according to circumstances.
The sun was correlated with gold, the moon with silver, Jupiter with electrum, Saturn with lead, Venus with copper and Mercury with quicksilver.Systems differed. In one, Mercury representing divine intelligence was supposed to be seated in the liver as the primeval seat of the soul. In other systems Jupiter and Venus held this important place in human anatomical correlation. Among the Babylonians the following was observed:
Jupiter, the brain, center of soul life.Venus, the genitals, belly and lower limbs controlling the passion of love. Mars, the violent, associated with the bile, blood and kidneys.Saturn was associated with the right ear and Mars with the left.Sun was associated with the right eye in males and left in females.
In another system we find the Zodiac developed as the prototype of the human body, thus; the head became the Sign of the Ram, the feet that of the Fishes. Between these two extremes the neck was assigned to the Bull, shoulders and arms to the Twins, breast to Cancer, flanks to Leo, bladder to Virgo, buttocks to the Balance, pubis to the Scorpion, thighs to Sagittarius, knees to Capricorn and the limbs to Aquarius. Diseases and disturbances of the bodily functions were believed to be due to influences of the planets in the constellations accredited to correlated organs.
Later, astrologers assigned the days of the week to the planets, beginning with Sunday, the day of the Sun, and ending with Saturday or Saturn's Day. Monday became the Moon-day, Tuesday belonged to Tiw, god of war, corresponding with the Roman Mars, and Nergal of the Babylonians. Wednesday was Mercury's day, the equivalent of the Germanic Woden. Thursday was Thor's day, the equivalent of Jupiter, and Friday was relegated to Friga, goddess of love, Venus of the Romans, Ishtar of the Babylonians. Medically, Tuesday and Wednesday were assumed the proper days for blood letting because Tuesday was connected with Mars, god of war and blood, and Wednesday was the day of Mercury, planet of humours.
From the Middle Ages we inherit a long list of notable scientists and savants who studied and practiced astrology in its highest phases and the literature and bibliography of the Art is now voluminous.
Theory
Theoretically, astrology is the doctrine of the influence of the heavenly bodies "upon events natural or moral; especially the investigation of the aspects, configurations, etc., of the planets and their influences upon the life and destinies of men and individuals." That such influences do potently exist and function has never been doubted by the advanced minds of past ages and only in the modern period where ecclesiastical influences have sought to impose all possible obstacles to the development of human knowledge except as regulated by autocratic hierarchies. And even so, little real knowledge is to be permitted the laity when it concerns the human soul and destiny, assumed to be the sole prerogatives of clerical exponents.
That the sun and moon exercise obvious and phenomenal influences upon tides, weather and vegetation is undeniable. That other heavenly bodies should be without comparative degrees of influence, peculiar to each in accordance with their relative positions toward the earth, is unthinkable. That human beings are influenced by phases of the moon (lunatics, moon-struck folk, etc.) in view of the physiological analogies with females is known by all. That diseases wax and wane in accord with lunar changes is household tradition and attested by all competent medical observers. All students of human nature agree that some individuals are Saturnine in temperament, others Mercurial, other Martial, etc. All who deal with earth conditions primarily, such as agriculturists, will maintain the indisputable fact that a man's life, happiness and welfare, are intimately dependant upon the phenomena of the heavens and thus it is not without reason that astrology has been rightly termed the Divine Science, since it is in reality the science of human destiny and welfare. Comprehensive knowledge of law after studying the basic principles, one's knowledge will depend entirely upon the amount of "reading" one does, just as the law student "reads" law.
