Modern Visionary Mysticism and the Firmament of Heaven
Historically, constellations were groupings of stars that were believed to outline the shape of something, often with mythological significance. There are 88 recognized constellations, with their names tracing as far back as Mesopotamia, 5000 years ago, although they seem to have been mostly defined between 1300 BC and 1000 BC [Wikipedia], approximately between the Exodus and the Kingdom of David. Similarly, images on the face of the moon or associated with the phases of the moon were viewed with humor as having mythological meaning, and men have witnessed visionary signs and wonders in clouds, in mountainous cliff walls, in lichen-covered walls, in wooden panels, and in split rocks for millennia. The situation changed, however, with the introduction of photography, telescopes, microscopy, satellite photography, and the exploration of space. For the first time men were able to record and measure visionary imagery in nebulosities and on planetary surfaces so that they were not reduced to mere written stories about images seeming to radiate from the cloud tops like a message from Higher Intelligence in the Universe, or from the new moon like a peek at the soul of God. We had evidence that we could pick over at our leisure. Furthermore, we were able to synthesize similar images from fractal algorithms or nebular simulations, so that our insight into the origins of the images improved somewhat. Astrophotography has revealed imaging nebulosities in space such as M51 and M16 that convince us that something extraordinary is going on regarding long-range cosmic world order. Furthermore, we have realized that these scenes in imaging nebulae and imaging galaxies sub-illustrate themes defined by the constellations in which they appear, or themes defined by neighboring constellations, so that the celestial sphere is a cohesively mythic object. The star names and greek letter codes based on relative stellar intensity seem to contain more information with a haunting quality, sometimes involving physical laws of the universe, as in the μ-ε codes seeming to involve the identities με = 1/c Of course, we encounter individuals who seem hysterically blind to mythic imagery in nebulosities, people who seem mesmerized with the symbolism of speech communications processed by the left side of the brain. The pattern recognition skills associated with the right hemisphere of the brain are essential to visualizing the images we see in nebulosities, and we must boldly cross over the corpus callosum between cerebral hemispheres to describe them to the world in speech or writing. Hysterically blind people cannot do this initially, probably because of inexperience with a large ensemble of quality mythic images of a visionary nature. Half-wits seem to be cornered in the left hemisphere, afraid or unable to describe their visionary perceptions originating in right hemispheric pattern perception to their neighbors. The circumstance that the imaging mechanism itself is mysterious is part of the problem. Another difficulty is that perceptions vary, and furthermore, their survival value is often questionable to practical people, who would like to concentrate on essentials and avoid arguments. Still, to witnesses of the imagery visible from satellite imaging systems, the silence of commentators regarding visionary scenes in nebulosities may seem frightening, considering how impacting or significant they can seem to be. One sometimes feels as if one is in the clutches of the unconscious mind, a one-sided imperceptive mentality or an intellect bullied into silence, over the lack of cogent attention paid to such sights. Amazing scenes including people or mythic figures in the mists of space are routinely photographed, but what the brain sourcing the photo usually dares to record is the exposure time, the choice of film, filtering techniques employed, and so forth... probably to minimize conflicts of opinion. At other times the image is systematically rotated to spoil viewer perception, although the intuitively right-side-up picture associated with the most spectacular version of the nebular image is typically properly aligned in parallel with neighboring constellations defining the angular orientation of the scene, because the celestial sphere imaging seems to be controlled by virtual standing waves associated with spherical harmonics that govern its long-range property of symbolic cohesion. That the constellations Orion and Hercules both seem to stand and wave on opposite sides of the celestial sphere, Orion rising with Hercules falling to indicate wave opposites, is probably no accident. Similar observations apply to many other constellation pairs. High altitude nebular or galactic images must change slowly, but closer to the earth's surface in the terrestrial cloud cover we find from weather satellite photographs that mythic images usually seem to mirror news events under the clouds. Thus we find images of the Rolling Stones in the cloud cover over Rolling Stones concerts in progress, images of presidential candidates or past presidents in the USA cloud cover during elections, and similarly, imaging "miracles" that mirror local events covered in the newspapers. Now that Internet is widely available with continuous monitoring of the cloud cover of the entire world, complete with extensive history files of cloud cover activity, the visionary consciousness of humanity is becoming more acute as the firmament of heaven comes more firmly into permanent focus. As we determine what to expect from experience, we are beginning to abstract rules, mathematics, and natural laws governing our visions, which at every height may seem to emanate from a heavenly father or divine spirit associated with mankind. It remains to be seen whether this trend in the perception of ourselves caught up in The Eternal will coincide with our emergence as a race of life-extended terrestrial immortals coming to the fore at the End of Evolution, now a well-funded goal of research in government laboratories in a number of countries. The Third Millennium may be Heaven's Gate, and certainly a time of high hopes. - Jim Green, June 25, 2007 |
