On 30
September this year the first human spacecraft ever to orbit a comet was
deliberately crashed onto its surface in order to get the closest possible
pictures of the enigmatic celestial body. This will end its mission that began
when the vessel was launched over twelve years ago. During the past two years
the European Space Agency’s Rosetta
probe has been circling the comet millions of miles from Earth, making
unprecedented close-range observations of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
(named after the two astronomers who discovered it).

One of the
spacecraft’s most significant accomplishments is to have taken readings of the
comet’s makeup, determining that it contains some of the basic building blocks
of life. Cometary impacts, it seems, may have helped start life on Earth. But
comets, such as the focus of the Rosetta
mission, have also posed threats
to earthly life. 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is around two and a half miles
across; if it hit the Earth— which thankfully it won’t— it could put an end to
civilization as we know it. A comet just 500 feet in diameter is believed to
have caused the Tunguska event of 1908, when it exploded over a remote area of
Siberia with the force of a fifteen megaton bomb, flattening 1000 square miles
of forest. But the Tunguska comet was miniscule compared to one, estimated to
have been around ten miles wide, which almost collided with our planet three
and a half thousand years ago.

Spectacular and Terrifying Ancient Comets
This comet
was recorded by the Egyptians in the 22nd year of the reign of the pharaoh
Tuthmosis III,
who described it as a brilliant disk much larger than the full moon, adding
that it was “a marvel never before known since that foundation of this land [Egypt].”
Chinese astronomers, who meticulously recorded celestial occurrences for
astrological purposes, also noted the breathtaking event. The ancient Mawangdui
Silk Almanac, preserved in the Hunan Provincial Museum in Changsh, depicts the
comet as one of the largest ever observed. Not only did it fill a large part of
the sky, it had an astonishing ten tails. (The biggest comet observed since the
birth of modern astronomy, De Cheseaux’s Comet of 1744, had only seven.)
The Egyptian
record is found in a manuscript now in the Vatican Library, called the Tulli
Papyrus, and a number of writers have cited it as evidence for an ancient UFO
sighting, leading some scholars to question its authenticity. However, it would
seem to have concerned a genuine event. The 22nd year of Tuthmosis
III’s reign is thought to have been around 1486 BC, which is precisely the year
(by our modern calendar) that the Chinese observed the ten-tailed comet.

comet recorded by the Ancient Egyptians in 1486 BC. (Illustration by

The comet
must have passed terrifyingly close to our planet. Indeed, the ancient comet’s
appearance was so spectacular that it seems to have had a profound influence on
religions throughout the world. It seems that this unprecedented celestial
phenomenon was taken to be the appearance of a new god: at this precise time,
contemporary civilizations across the globe all began to worship a new deity
depicted as a winged disk hanging in the sky. Examples include the Hittite god
Kumarbis, the Assyria god Antum, the Mitannian god Ir, and the Persian god
Ahura Mazda.

similar glyphs that represented deities that appeared throughout the world
after the comet’s appearance in 1486 BC. (Public Domain)
In China, a
new divinity called Lao-Tien-Yeh – “The Great God” – appears at this time
during the Sang dynasty and was represented by a circle with a series of
straight lines radiating in a fan shape beneath and to the side of it, which
looks remarkably similar to a depiction of a comet.

Fascinatingly,
this glyph is almost identical to the symbol for a new god that appeared in
Egypt during the reign of Tuthmosis III. Called the Aten, it was represented by
a circle with a fan-shaped series of lines radiating from it, just like the
symbol for Lao-Tien-Yeh. Egyptologists have long assumed that the Aten glyph
represented the sun, which no doubt it did when the pharaoh Akhenaten made Aten
worship the state religion in the mid 1300s BC, but when it first appeared in
the capital of Thebes over a century earlier it is accompanied by no
inscriptions specifically associating it with a solar deity.

have depicted the magnificent comet of 1486 BC. (Public domain)
But the
sudden appearance of new religions was not the only social upheaval to
accompany the comet’s close encounter with Earth. Throughout the world, there
was a simultaneous and unprecedented period of violence. Egypt embarked on a
vicious military campaign, conquering what are now Israel, Lebanon, and Libya;
the Hittites of Turkey struck out at their neighbors in the eastern
Mediterranean; in Syria, the Mitanni kingdom attacked the Assyrians of Iraq;
the Kassites of northern Iran invaded Babylonia in southern Iraq; the Yaz
people of Armenia ferociously attacked everyone around them; and the Harappan
civilization of north-west India was wiped out by marauding tribes from
Afghanistan. And all this followed a period of relative peace throughout the
world that had lasted for generations. Experts generally believe that the
period of intense warfare and social unrest around the world was due to a short
term climate change that saw global temperatures drop. Resultant crop failures
meant the kind of scarce resources that invariably lead to conflict. The
question, however, is what caused the bad weather that lasted for a decade or
so?
Threats to Life and Civilization
In 1985
astronomer Carl Sagan identified the comet of 1486 BC as Comet
12P/Pons-Brooks, suggesting that a fragment of it had broken off and impacted
with the Earth, the resultant explosion throwing debris high into the
atmosphere and impeding the sun’s rays for many years, causing global
temperatures to fall. But this may not have been the only effect of the
cometary impact. At the International Conference on Catastrophic Events and
Mass Extinctions held in Vienna in July 2000, scientists gathered to discuss
possible threats to life on Earth posed by asteroid and comet impacts.
Interestingly,
beside the obvious calamities such impacts would cause, such as firestorms,
nuclear winters, and tsunamis, attention was drawn to various harmful chemicals
that some comets contain. One of these is the amino acid vasopressin that can
cause violent and aggressive behavior in humans. It is not at present known if
12P/Pons-Brooks contains vasopressin, but it if it does then the substance
entering the atmosphere to contaminate the food chain could in part have been
responsible for the unprecedented period warfare that griped the planet in the
early 1400s BC.

Coincidentally,
just as the Rosetta mission
comes to an end, astronomers have determined that a fragment of
12P/Pons-Brooks—the comet of 1486 BC— is heading for its closest approach to
Earth on 11 February next year. The comet has broken into several pieces after
a close pass with Jupiter, one of them being what is now designated as Comet
45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, first identified in 1948. It is around a mile
wide, but luckily it won’t hit the Earth. However, it is possible that the
Earth’s orbit could take us through the comet’s trail. Whether or not that
would have an effect on out atmosphere remains to be seen. But even if it
passes safely by, the main comet itself, still well over five miles wide, is
due to return to the inner solar system in 2024, but exactly how close it will
come to Earth is at present unknown. Let’s hope for the best. The last thing
the world needs now is elevated levels of aggression.

Saturn and the rise of the ‘GODS’ industry –
the hidden link between global cataclysms, sex magick-blood rituals and guns,
oil, drugs and slavery.
by Troy D. McLachlan
The literal and physical journey the planet Saturn has taken from
being a brown dwarf star and Earth’s original sun
to its subsequent banishment to the outer reaches of our current solar
system is the story of the known Ages of Man according to the
mythological, esoteric and occult traditions.
This story has become the basis for secretive mystery schools and warped
theologies, sex and blood-based rituals and alchemically-driven sciences and
arts. It is the force behind the continuing struggle between those ‘of
the Blood’ and those ‘of the Earth’. It is the conflict
between the love of money and the love of justice. It feeds motives to
commit conspiracy to suppress, yet its memory lies hidden beneath our fears for
the future. It is both the word and flesh from the beginning of human
experience, the origin of both civilisation and war. It is the
story of the four ages of Man.
The following is a simplified view of myth as history, and history as
ritual by way of an intuitive rather than intellectual investigation of the
evidence.
An Introduction to the
Four Ages of Man
Worldwide mythologies and esoteric traditions generally talk of a cycle
of four ages of Man. (These ages should not be confused with the scientific
community’s demarcations of Stone age, bronze age and iron age historical
progression.)
Broadly speaking, these traditions split mankind’s experiences
in to Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron epochs in the ages of Man.
Today we are said to live in an Iron Age of industry and technology.
Before that a Bronze Age of heroic mythology existed, preceded by a Silver Age
born out of the chaos that ended that greatest of ages – the mythic paradise
known as The Golden Age.
The Four Ages of Man on the Earth according to the esoteric traditions:
The lost paradise of the Golden Age, the priestly Silver Age, the heroic Bronze
Age and the modern industrial Iron Age.
The Purple Dawn of Man
Yet, even before this Golden Age in which man enjoyed a tranquil
existence devoid of want and bathed in the perfect light of a perfect and
timeless sun, there was a primordial dawn of eternal twilight,… a distant age
wrapped in a sea of celestial purple radiating a dense and global warmth from a
single orb permanently stationed at the far north of the heavens.
To primordial man, this was the time of the Purple Dawn, the Great
Dreamtime of our distant past celebrated in the oral and written traditions of
ancient peoples the world over.
At that time there was no Sun as we know it today. There was no
way to tell day from night. No stars could be seen through the dense
atmospheric purple haze and there was no moon from which to tell the passing of
time by its phases or from which the Earth’s oceans could be influenced in
great tidal movements. Man lived in a perpetual state of dusky
darkness. The warm and bountiful purple hue permeated all existence and
the nocturnal thrived.
Like an eye looking onto the world from a swirling purple chaos in the
heavens, primordial man would have seen one pale disk of light radiating its
benign presence from a position locked at the celestial north pole. It had
always been there,… its presence an integral, yet silently ethereal part of the
Earth’s landscape and mankind’s experience.
How the Earth may have looked during the age known as the Purple Dawn
(circa 60,000 BC). Saturn can be seen as a pale stationary disk situated at
Earth's celestial north. Its rings had not yet formed at this time.
Looking back from today we can identify this primordial sun as a brown
dwarf star which would have radiated more energy than bright
light. When taking into account the descriptions that have come down
to us from the ancients, we can determin that this particular brown dwarf
star typically would have provided a far-reaching heliosphere, or plasma
sheath, which extended out into space in a giant egg-like cocoon embrace of the
Earth. This would have uniformly bounced the star’s warm radiation back
onto the planet producing the purplish primordial glow related to us by these
ancient traditions.
To the Ancients of the Golden, Silver and Bronze ages, this sun-like
disk was routinely identified as the god Kronos (Greek) or Saturn
(Latin). It was said to be the original and the best sun. It was
the first sun before the coming of the red star we today call the Sun.
Today, this very same disk seen by the ancients is now firmly established as
the actual planet Saturn, a former brown dwarf star and now a distant spot of
light at the outer reaches of our current solar system.
The journey this disk-like orb of light took from being Earth’s
primordial sun to becoming that distant ringed gas-giant is the
story of the known Ages of Man.
A
Timeless Age in a Purple Haze
Remembered by the most ancient of
peoples as the Purple Dawn, this was a distant, ageless past before light entered
the world.
Earth in its
distant past is reported by ancient traditions to have enjoyed a stable
relationship with a dimly lit sun or star that sat motionless at the celestial
north pole. For cultures in the southern hemisphere the world was a
nocturnal haze devoid of all celestial references save for the chaotic void that hug above them.
The
Polar Configuration
Dismissed by
modern astrophysicists as an impossible scenario, this configuration between Earth and
its primordial star/sun is nonetheless called a ‘polar configuration’. It
is diametrically opposed to what we observe today in our
current sun’s behaviour which rises and sets east to west. Yet, if we
take the ancients at their literal word, a planetary polar configuration with
Saturn at the northern top is what they actually saw from their
perspective on Earth.
How so?
Based on
this ancient perspective we can theorise that the earth rotated on its axis
below a star that seems to have exhibited all the characteristics of a brown
dwarf star. Both this brown dwarf star and the earth rotated in
unison on their axis while drifting through space locked together, thus
producing the illusion from Earth’s surface of the brown dwarf star never
leaving its position at the earth’s celestial north.
Life
under a Polar Sun
Governed by
this polar configuration the earth would have been enveloped in this brown dwarf
star’s plasma sheath, a giant bubble of plasma that is the equivalent of our
current sun’s heliosphere.

artist’s impression of how modern science sees the sun’s heliosphere as a
protective bubble. The pinkish froth to the left of the solar system is
representative of the creation of magnetic bubbles as the heliosphere travels
through space. Credit: NASA
The Sun’s
heliosphere is currently believed to serve as a protective bubble around the
current solar system shielding it from so-called intergalactic solar winds. (Note:Modern mainstream scientists generally
do no recognise the connection between the sun’s known heliosphere and the role
played by electrical plasma in space – this is an Electric Universe concept)
Saturn’s
protective plasma sheath
With Earth
previously being wrapped in Saturn’s brown dwarf star plasma sheath, all the radiated
energy and light being emitted from the brown dwarf would have been uniformly
reflected back off the plasma sheath onto Earth. This would have
effectively blocked out all other incoming light from other stars and produced
a purple-like celestial haze due to the radiation frequencies produced by a
brown dwarf star. Hence the ‘purple’ colouring of what is called the Purple
Dawn of man’s ancient past.
In the above figure
you can see that Mars has been included. This is because its presence
within the Saturn system is vital in understanding how this Saturnian polar
configuration would have looked from Earth. As a silhouetted dot against
Saturn’s larger disk, Mars would ultimately provide the ‘pupil’ to the
all-seeing eye that would look down on Earth.
This purple
dawn period would have produced an environment of perpetual twilight, with
uniform global temperatures producing virtually no wind and there being a
complete inability to calculate time. All continents, including Antarctica, would have supported the continual
growth of fantastically elongated and splayed reddish vegetation in tropical
abundance. Adapted through its red colouring to absorbing Saturn’s
radiated energy rather than its light, Earth’s vegetation would have
enjoyed a complete absence of seasons and this would have contributed to a
densely rich atmosphere able to supprt the flight of giant insects that we know
once existed.
From orbit,
the Earth would have been cast in a darkish purple hue, and its ocean levels
would have been significantly lower leading to larger versions of the existing
continents as well as the existence of now lost and submerged continents.
Also, the
Earth’s then electrical relationship to its brown dwarf star would have
produced a different and lesser gravity allowing for the gigantic proportions
of some species (now extinct) to flourish.
Earth's nocturnal purple glow and lower gravity during
the age of the dinosaurs. A thick atmosphere would have further allowed for the
flight of pteranodons and giant insects that we know once existed. Mars can be
seen as a dark dot against Saturn's dull disk. (this image represents the
Mesozoic age, i.e. 110 -230 million years ago)
How far back
into time this state of affairs existed is hard to say, but eventually, a
series of man-witnessed cataclysmic events started to change the Earth’s
relationship with its brown dwarf star and herald the start of what would
become known as the Golden Age.
As this
polar configuration of Earth and brown dwarf star drifted through space, it
would have done so in an upwardly spiralling motion. Unbeknown to an
observer from Earth, the brown dwarf star’s protective plasma sheath, which
blocked out all reference to outside stars, would have slowly started to spiral
towards the Sun’s own protective plasma sheath, the heliosphere – with
disastrous consequences.
The
spiralling nature of the brown dwarf star’s approach to the sun would have
meant that first contact between their plasma sheaths would have been
relatively brief. In fact, there may have been multiple contacts into the
distant past before the Saturn system was finally captured by the Sun.
This may account for the periodic extinction events in the fossil record as each
contact caused Saturn to flare up and die down with marked changes in the
relationship between Earth and its northern star.
By the time
mankind witnessed such an event, contact would have manifested itself as a
sudden and very bright flaring of its polar star into a fully-fledged
sun. Quiet literally, it was a short-circuiting event between the two
separate plasma sheaths as they brushed together with the lesser brown dwarf
star experiencing a tremendous nova-like destructive surge of discharging
electrical activity before swinging away from the Sun and back into interstellar
space.
Human
observers on Earth at that time would have been totally ignorant of the role
played by the Sun’s heliosphere in the reaction they were then seeing take
place in their once peaceful heavenly orb. After the initial
blinding flare-up of their polar star the Earth would have been bathed in a
diffuse, yet intense light unlike anything they had ever experienced
before. As Dwardu Cardona surmised in his books God Star, Primordial Star
and Flare Star, it was Day One of creation – let there be light!
Let there be light! The startling effect on primordial
man of Saturn flaring after its plasma sheath brushes against the Sun's
heliosphere.
However, the
consequences to life on Earth didn’t just stop there.
Flare
Star!
The intense
flaring of electrical activity experienced between the brown dwarf star on its
contact with the Sun’s heliosphere would have transferred itself into its
existing electrical connections with the Earth. Even as the brown dwarf
spiralled out of plasmatic contact with the Sun’s heliosphere it would have
continued to glow brightly in the Earth’s northern polar sky.
For humans
experiencing this on Earth, the brown dwarf star had now become a polar sun
that, apart from its static position in the celestial north, was nothing like
the dull orb seen in the heavens of the Purple Dawn. Still less bright
than today’s sun, it nonetheless shone bright enough to begin the process of
physical metamorphosis’ from a reddish purple hued world to the more
familiar green of Earth’s current ecosystem. This would have
started before the Saturn system’s final capture and demise at the hands
of the encroaching Sun as it spiralled back yet again inside the
heliosphere’s influence. This would be the event that would mark the
end of what had been a golden age after Saturn’s initial flaring.
The
birth of Venus
Probably the
most disturbing aspect of the changes seen in the former dull disk after its
flare-up was the almost immediate appearance of a mighty black spiral coming from
the orbs centre and winding itself around the now brightly lit orb.
Mythology
tells us Venus was born out of Saturn. The ejection of the planetary body that
became known as Venus was a particularly violent result of Saturn's flaring
after contact with the Sun's heliosphere.
This was the
result of the violent birth of the planet Venus, but to the Ancients this was
the Chaos Monster that their new polar sun or god was compelled to battle with
at the onset of creation. It would be remembered in various
mythologies as a dragon or feathered serpent and be depicted as the
ancient symbol of the self-consuming serpent called the Ouroboros.

popular image in Roman mythology. (image PD)
Saturn battling with the Chaos Monster, that Dragon or
Feathered Serpent of world mythology. Enhanced electrical plasma activity
called Birkeland currents would appear like a pillar of light leading up to
Saturn.

Monster: (top) Chinese dragons and a central pearl, credit Shizhoa; (bottom
left) Quetzecoatl of the Aztecs complete with star burst; (bottom right) Eye in
palm surrounded by two serpents - North American Indian.
The iconic symbol of the Ouroboros, a self-consuming
serpent that is an archetype of the Chaos Monster that appeared in the heavens
after the birth of the planet Venus.
As the
transformed Saturnian disk of the Purple Dawn fought to subdue this Chaos
Monster it started to take on the aspect of a huge round eyeball with a
smallish reddish centre or pupil, a greenish iris and the larger bright part of
the disk making up the bulk of the cornea. It looked alive, and, over
time, with the black spirals of the Chaos Monster all but gone, a discolouring
could be seen crossing its glowing outer disk while the green hued iris
occasionally seemed to produce an eight-pointed star burst emanating from
the disk as a whole.
After its flare-up and ejection of Venus, Saturn would
alternate between quieter times in which Venus could be seen behind Mars and
more electrically active periods in which Venus flared in a distinctive
eight-pointed star burst.
Thus the All-Seeing Eye had
revealed itself. The All-Seeing Eye was now the god that would go down in
the annals of mythology as Ra/Osaris/Horus, Kronos and Saturn.
Saturn had revealed himself, and in due time so too would his bride the Evening
Star, known as Venus, and his Morning Star-child, called by the ancients
amongst other names Mars.

Saturn configuration popular in ancient Egyptian culture.
The All-seeing Eye on the US dollar note is the most
modern symbolic incarnation of the Saturn configuration.
