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.
This second presentation, Part One B, takes us up to chapter 3:18. This completes the letters to the angels and sums up their content. After this, if you are still interested, you will need to look at Part Two. Part Two deals with the introduction of the New Kings which, according to this interpretation, began with the discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781.
And I am wrong about copper being an alloy of brass and zinc aren't I? What I mean is brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Silly me.
Since I published my first presentations regarding Oppositions on the Anima Mundi I have understood them in greater depth. After a great deal of study I have decided that the original did not explain the opposition between Mercury and the Moon correctly. I have had a long time to contemplate this model and understand it in greater depth. This presentation also introduces consciousness and is visually more fun I hope. Enjoy. Not sure what category it belongs in. I would choose Philosophy but there is no Philosophy category listed. Maybe scientists would not approve so I have listed it under Spiritual. I think it's both.
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.
Ancient astrologers could pick out seven planets, seven moving points of light in the night sky. They awarded them the attributes of angels, or gods. In this presentation I interpret the arrival of the New Kings chapters 17 to 19 as the introduction of the new planets beginning with Uranus, discovered in 1781. This takes us up to the present day and describes our sad insensitive destruction of our beautiful planet, so obsessed are we with consumption, and gaining absolute control of our environment in the interests of greed and fear.
Hello Everyone. This is it - a presentation introducing our home planet's intimate relationship with her cosmic environment in a way that I hope EVERONE will be able to understand.

CG JUNG'S Misunderstanding and Misapplication of the symbolism of the QuaternaryWilliam John Meegan
Psychologists cannot fully understand CG Jung work simply because CG Jung did not comprehend fully what his empirical research was conveying to him and that is because he neither had all the facts nor the mystical graphic images of the psyche that would have guided him into correctly interpreting the data, out of the dreams, he was dealing with. Chief amongst those ideas, Jung envisaged out of the sessions with his patients and their dreams and/or out of the ravings of the psychiatric patients in the Insane Asylum that he was employed at for many years in Switzerland, is the Quaternary.
THE TRINITARIAN PARADIGM: The Double Helix, The Kundalini Serpent, The Breath...William John Meegan
The main thesis of this paper is about the Trinitarian Paradigm. This Trinitarian Paradigm has everything to do with Hebraic Alphabet and how it is you to write the mythoi of the Judaeo Christian Scriptures. Even the New Testament written is Greek is based upon this Trinitarian Paradigm. I have discovered that it is a Memory Technique as to how to write and read symbolism. Just as human learn to read books by studying their cultural alphabet the Trinitarian Paradigm is the method that was developed that allows initiates to go from iconoclastic (not symbolic) thought to iconographic (symbolic) thought.
This paper is a discussion about the five parables in the first twenty-one verses of the thirteenth chapter of Luke’s gospel that is analogous to the Trinitarian Paradigm and mixed with that discussion will be a conversation on the life of Moses corresponding to the Trinitarian Paradigm.
This paper will discuss briefly the Origin of the Hebraic Alphabet that I wrote about in another paper and this paper will discuss, the Lilly: fleur de lis that the Zohar discussed as being laid out in the first two verses of Genesis and a brief word on the Adam and Eve story will be discuss in context to this thesis; in addition, the first chapter of Genesis will be briefly discussed in relationship to the thirty-two (32) times the word Elohym is used to formulate the Kabbalistic Tree of Life via sacred geometry, which illustrates the rise of the Kundalini Serpent up that tree.
Christianity cannot be understood unless the dynamics of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit: i.e. Trinitarian Paradigm is understood. When I was a child back in the late 50s and early 60s being taught by priests and nuns I was continuously told that the Trinity cannot be understood; however, that is what the whole of the Old and New Testament is about.

ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh: A Comm...William John Meegan
This paper was written as a commentary on the zodiacal cycle sculptured into a frieze on the ceiling of the Egyptian Temple of Khnum at Esneh. This is a commentary on the astrological paradigm that is inherently imprinted upon the soul/psyche of every human being. All religions on Earth are based on the foundations of this zodiacal paradigm.
Throughout this paper I go through each and every sign doing a separate vignette on each symbol and sign explaining, in as much detail as possible, the symbolism of Astrology and its relationship to the psyche: ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind. This zodiacal paradigm was initially structured by the ancients to illustrate the spiritual vision that each human being is heir to."

A perfect natural intelligent system,the result of integrating the inherent properties of One The Bride, our mother planet, with Two The Groom, her constantly changing cosmic environment. Edited version of an earlier presentation with the same name.
Yet another attempt to win recognition for this amazing New Age discovery. Here is the Bride, Part One. She will need a Groom to impregnate her with cosmic DNA - that will be Part Two. Then she will produce Intelligent Life which I will introduce in Part Three. Of course this has been happening for millennia, but we are only just now evolved sufficiently to understand what is going on and even now we have a big problem. Fixed ideas are blocking this information - we think we are so clever, so scientific, but this hubris has closed our minds to new ideas. I think this is sad. Follow these presentations and decide for yourself. We are free and if we are to progress we need to think for ourselves.
This is the first of three presentations concerning TIME. Scientists attempt to understand time as if it exists independent of consciousness. This Part One introduces the importance of consciousness and it seems that PowerPoint is the perfect medium to illuminate this importance. People who have already seen this presentation tell me it takes their breath away. Do let me know what you think as I am using this presentation only as an exploration.
The perfect natural intelligence systemChrissy Philp
This is an AI system based on an esoteric model of the brain called the Anima Mundi. This presentation was specifically designed to give an AI graduate, who had difficulty accepting archetypal language had any intrinsic value, the opportunity to prove the whole idea a load of occult rubbish. He failed. He pronounced the system a 'perfect natural intelligent system'. Since I believe the model upon which this AI system is based is the archetypal design behind the evolution of brain I was not surprised. .
Electromagnetism, gravity and consciousness, is there a connection?Chrissy Philp
More illumination drawn from the wonderful Anima Mundi. This is one extraordinary model. Add the Zodiac - the map of the heavens - our cosmic clock - and it seems to describe everything from the layout of our brains to the workings of the universe! If you think 'this can't be true' I wholeheartedly agree, it can't be, but it keeps throwing up more and more amazing information. All I can do is pass this information onto you and leave you to make up your own mind on whether it's worth serious study. Do let me know what you decide. Sorry, I can't decide a category. I shall leave that to you too.
Squeeky is a greenfinch. His best friend is Goodasgold. He thinks this presentation is much better than any of mine and I think I agree with him. Watch and learn.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

www.chrissyphilp.com
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
‘apocalypse’ has come
to signify a terrifying
end-of-the-world
scenario ……
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 …
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 ‘at its word’,
since John wrote the words ‘at hand’ 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 – but the
fact he is on Patmos is
edifying …
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: ‘Three 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 !

9. These are the two great
people whose work has
provided me with the
information that
enabled me to interpret
Revelation’s 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 Jung’s
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, ψυχή κόσμου, translates as Mundi/world Anima/alive
(as in animate and animal), also called World Mind or World Soul.
10. Here is Jung’s 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 ‘female’ arrangement. There is a ’male’ arrangement that
arranges them according to the seasons (see Galen).

AIR
FIRE
EARTH WATER

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.

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 Jung’s 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 ‘light’, yin with
‘dark’: the Creative with the ‘opening of the gates’,
the Receptive with the ‘closing of the gates’. 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 Revelation’s
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 Liz’s 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. It’s a clock with
planets acting as hands.
The Zodiac defines the masculine archetype: the I Ching calls this The Creative
Heaven. The title Heaven couldn’t 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 – up down side to
side. An additional symbol for Mother Earth (mater ‘matter’ ) 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. (Don’t 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
Ching’s three types of change it
illustrates additional logic.
NONCHANGE is the unchanging
background against which we
monitor change – 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 – this is an
incarnation point we experience as
‘being here now’.
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.

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: ‘Before’
and ‘After Completion’!
Alpha and Omega.

22. Because, on the Zodiac, the positive and negative signs alternate, whichever
way you turn the Zodiac it is always ‘Before’ and ‘After Completion’, 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.

24. And here is another
important consideration the Zodiac doesn’t 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 ‘software’ - as
distinct from The Receptive
Earth - ‘hardware’ - 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 ‘angels’ of the seven churches.
All is well, the mystery is revealed ….
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 ….
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 Sun’s gravity could be said to ‘hold’ 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 – the
light in the centre.
jewishencycloped

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. …
OH NO!
34. Don’t panic …. 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 ‘Death
Experience’:
‘This 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 Sun’s

male, ZODIAC
On the male model the Sun
comes first.
Life depends entirely on
energy from the Sun.
No energy = no light = no life.

37. 9 in the second place means
I CHING. Quote:
(Creative) Dragon
appearing in the field.
Everything ‘appears’ 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 ‘living’
being ‘appears’ 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 – it gives light . Space must be full of sunlight.
So why is space bright black?
40. Light needs some thing to reflect off …. 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 Sun’s energy (spirit) to dead
matter and we have ‘living matter’.
‘Now when the Creator had framed the
soul according to his will, he formed
within her the corporeal universe’.
PLATO, Timaeus.
Isn’t she lovely!

42. 2:9 I know thy works, and
tribulation, and poverty, (but
thou art rich) …
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;
‘From the first dawn of life unto the grave, Poor womankind's in
every state a slave.’ Sarah Egerton. 1703.
’What 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.’ Maria Edgeworth. 1806.
44. … and ye shall
have
tribulation ten
days:
Incarnation as ‘individual’ living
breathing beings is painful - we
suffer …
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 Leo’s crown.
I wonder if this is a
clue to the gifts
received by the other
angels?
Mother/Yin/Negative
‘THE SOUL’
.. 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.
‘Many 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.’ 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: ‘Straight square, great,
without purpose, yet nothing remains
unfurthered.’
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
‘feeling’. In combination with her
partner, the Sun, she is ‘heart’.
On the brain she marks the
position of the Cerebellum; the
primal brain; the ‘unconscious’.
CEREBELLUM
48. We have given this position a name. We call it …
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 it’s
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 don’t 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-Burk’s 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 ‘identity’ 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 ….
There is only
One God
and His Name is
Derrick
But, don’t 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 what’s ‘this’?
…. 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; ‘Man does not live by bread alone’. Perhaps this refers to us
digesting stupid ideas ... but what’s with this fornication?
.. Why

people up and

57. 9 in the fifth place
The Ruling line of The Creative:
9 in the fifth place means: Flying
dragon in the Heavens.
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 – the
famous wings of thought.
Here is a dime
decorated with
Liberty who has
borrowed Mercury’s
‘wings of thought’ ..

59. Here he is - the Motor Cortex
Homunculus in the Museum of

This is Mr CLEVER.
It was this little man who
came up with the
irresponsible ‘Derrick’.
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 ‘sword’ - 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
– 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 ‘Messenger’ 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 astrology’s 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 Rev’s
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.
