I think of aether more like Thoth.

Thoth was considered one of the more important deities of the Egyptian pantheon. In art, he was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or a baboon

I agree. Aether is one tricky bastard. ;)

Apparently, Loki turned into Jesus...didn't you hear?

And that is the frictive rub. It is always the momentary awareness before thought.

The essence of fostering this awareness is in the realization of the timelessness in true action reaction. As you will instantly know balance or feebleness in construct.

The ephemeral separator between, which can create an infinite gulf or thinnest skein arises from the mud of fear into primeval waters.

I like that!

I like that!

It is also the root of all your frustrations. The agony and the ecstasy of the twofold path.

one step at a time
lingering longer in some
steps than others
to you discover a beat
from another that matches yours
then you walk together
to the beat

is how it feels

Lion king just came to mind

I just watched "Symbols of an Alien Sky" again, and caught something big I never noticed before. How can we have a nearly full Mars, right in front of a crescent Saturn? It's not an error on Talbott's part. The ancient drawings show the same thing. Think! I swear it will hit you like a ton of bricks when you get it.
For starters, realize that to see a crescent (less than half) of Saturn means that it must be lit by a source more distant than Saturn itself. But then why not a crescent Mars?
In "Symbols of an Alien Sky", Talbott shows a picture of Saturn with the crescent at the bottom, a full Mars, and it is labeled midnight (on Earth). There is a picture of Saturn with the crescent at the top, a full Mars, and it is labeled noon. We are told during this segment, that our current sun did not even appear in the sky at these times.

If people could see a polar configuration of planets, day or night, they must be in the northern hemisphere. If the sun was at the south pole, it would explain two things:
1. they did not see the sun because it was not visible from their latitude.
and
2. Mars was full because it was lit from the sun behind us . This would also be consistent with the alignment of other planets, just adding our sun behind us.
But then why a thin crescent of Saturn? And how could it be noon or midnight with out our sun ever being in the sky?
Anyone? Anyone? I'll put the answer but I'd like to see someone get that same kick I did from figuring it out.

Let's imagine our solar system spiraling on a Birkeland current filament, with another star across from us on the other filament. Now let's enter a z-pinch. Observers on Earth, unaware of the filaments we are in, just see a star moving closer to us. The star moves faster and faster towards us, and then all of a sudden, stops, and appears to just hover at the same distance from us. (sound familiar to any religious,mythological stories?) After the z-pinch, the other star recedes slowly at first, but picks up speed, and finally, it's just another background star.
What happens to our solar system during z-pinch? We are no longer a sun with orbiting planets, but instead become part of a bigger system, where our planets and sun spiral around the z-pinch. The orbital speed of the planets in the original system are going to determine which leads the way in the new magnetic field. (it's a bit complicated, but we'll come back to it in another post).
So, we've got our planets in a line, in a polar configuration, with another star lighting them from the side. Our sun, behind us, still lighting the face of Mars ahead of us. Earth's daylight in the northern hemisphere comes from the other star, as does that crescent phase of Saturn (which is why observers saw the crescent at the top of saturn during noon, and at the bottom at night).

All this, by the way, was right in the mythology. Combine "Saturn Myth" ideas of golden age during a polar alignment, with "Lost Star of Myth and Time" ideas of golden age occurring as another star takes us towards some "seat of universal magnetism".

he has been swing dancing for a while.
