They are clearly visiting orbs from another dimenSion...

emanating from Nut's vagina?

to my Rioja raddled brain it did look quite exciting initially...then the sober pragmatic side of me kicked in..oi vey

Oh but let me tickle that exciting feeling
Yes I saw what you saw in time frame ....I saw it shoot off

But remember your on the "Magic Mountain"...you just saw an amazing two streaking lights with your wife as witness
You were woken up by a Lady's voice and so was your wife

and then your looking at the sun .....I have read about UFO sightings and some believe they have shields
perhaps you caught it with its shields down for a sec
and they can move pretty fast ....I just thought your glare had a interesting shape to it
that is why I showed you the spotting at Larval France

Any way it was a very cool video...and I think you might have spotted one and it was curious about this strangers on the mountain....so did I mess with your mind

or it was lens glare

Just remember cameras can only pick so much and the eye can only see so much

each one has its limits
Anyway I loved giving you that exciting moment for just second

The Probability of Finding Aliens Is Now Three Times Higher

The total number of stars in the Universe "is likely three times bigger than realized." Yale University astronomer Pieter van Dokkum says there are "possibly trillions of Earths orbiting these stars," dramatically increasing the possibility of finding alien civilizations.

The Pope's chief astronomer has conceded other intelligent beings could exist in outer space.

The conclusion has been drawn by scientific experts called in by the Vatican to study the possibility of extraterrestrial life and its implications for the Church.

It has been four centuries since the Catholic Church locked up Galileo for challenging the belief that the Earth was at the centre of the universe.

The Vatican's five-day conference attracted 30 astronomers, physicists and biologists, including non-Catholic

John 8: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now, what do you say?’ They were using this question as a trap to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, ‘If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.’ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’ ‘No one, sir,’ she said. ‘Then neither do I condemn you,’ Jesus declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of sin.’"

there is Luke 8
After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,
and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out;
Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

Mark 16
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalena, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'
Then "'they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"'
For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"

The Gnostic Catholic Church was founded in 1907 e.v. by Jean Bricaud, Gérard Encausse and Louis-Sophrone Fugairon; the latter two having been bishops of Jules Doinel’s Gnostic Church (1890) before Doinel’s abdication as Patriarch. In 1908 e.v., Theodor Reuss appears to have received episcopal consecration and primatial authority in the Gnostic Catholic Church from Encausse, Bricaud and Fugairon in gratitude for his issuance to Encausse of a patent for the Masonic Rites of Memphis and Mizraim. The same year, Encausse, Bricaud and Fugairon changed the name of their church to the Universal Gnostic Church, leaving Reuss exclusive authority in the Gnostic Catholic Church. As with all his other affiliations, Reuss incorporated the Gnostic Catholic Church into the system of O.T.O..

As early as the 15th century AD, many Parisian historians believed that the city of Paris owed its name to the Egyptian goddess Isis. There are various manuscripts from around 1402 AD at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris which contain drawings of the goddess Isis garbed as a medieval noblewoman seen arriving by boat to Paris and where she is greeted by nobles and clergymen under the caption ‘The very ancient Isis, goddess and queen of the Egyptians’ .

Plate 1. French Manuscript dated 1403 AD (Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris) The idea of a 'boat' symbol come partly from the shape of the 'Ile de la Cite' (where stands Notre Dame Cathedral) which is boat-shaped, and also because ancient 'mariners' known as 'Nauts' populated the region."

The number eight so linked to Gnosticism was prominent in Templar symbolism

The eight pointed cross of the Scottish Knight Templars
http://www.skt.org.uk/CJdeM1314/The_Eight_Pointed_Cross.html
The points of the Eight Pointed Cross touch the angles of the octagon found within the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, the Byzantine Architecture of The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, precursor of the Cathedral of Aghia Sofia in Istanbul (Constantinople), Castel-del-Monte in Sicily, and it is to be found within the sacred geometry of Rosslyn Chapel.

In 1147 Pope Eugenius III ordained the use of the blood-red Cross of the Order. (1) A Bothwell-Gosse in the "Knights Templar"(2) points out that there are few reliable ancient representations, but the Eight Pointed Cross is probably older as the Cross of the Order than the Cross with the square ends, and must have existed before the Templar Cipher. He concludes that it was used before 1250 AD. Herbert Norris in "Medieval Costume and Fashion"(3) notes that the Templar knights wore the red Eight Pointed Cross on the left shoulder of their white mantles, the sergeants wore black mantles and the squires brown mantles.

The Geometry of the Cross allowed the Templar's to use it as a basis for a Cipher to encode their messages.

An early representation of the Eight Pointed Cross is carved in a prominent stone on the exterior of the 16th Century East

The structure of a fractal object is reiterated in its magnifications. Fractals can be magnified indefinitely without losing their structure and becoming "smooth"; they have infinite perimeters—some with infinite, and others with finite surface areas. One such fractal curve with an infinite perimeter and finite surface area is the Koch snowflake.

Related to the Chaos theory
Chaos theory is applied in many scientific disciplines, including: geology, mathematics, microbiology, biology, computer science, economics,[7][8][9] engineering,[10] finance,[11][12] meteorology, philosophy, physics, politics, population dynamics,[13] psychology, and robotics.
which has connection with the "buttefly effect"

The term "butterfly effect" itself is related to the work of Edward Lorenz. It is based in chaos theory and the sensitive dependence on initial conditions already described in the literature in a particular case of the three-body problem by Henri Poincaré in 1890.[1] He later proposed that such phenomena could be common, for example, in meteorology.

In 1898,[1] Jacques Hadamard noted general divergence of trajectories in spaces of negative curvature. Pierre Duhem discussed the possible general significance of this in 1908.[1] The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent historic events first appears in "A Sound of Thunder", a 1952 short story by Ray Bradbury about time travel (see Literature and print here).

Domme, Dordogne
In 1307, the Knight Templars were imprisoned in Domme during the trial against them, of which hundreds of Templar graffiti still bear witness. They used a code system involving series of geometric figures: the octagon represented the Grail, the triangle surmounted by a cross represented Golgatha, the square represented the Temple, and the circle represented the imprisonment. Similar inscriptions (of disputed authenticity) has been found in other towns such as Loches, Gisors, and Chinon.

Viking robots found life on Mars in 1976, scientists say
Researchers put data into sets of numbers, then analyzed the results for complexity

New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows that NASA found life on Mars, an international team of mathematicians and scientists conclude in a paper published this week.

Further, NASA doesn't need a human expedition to Mars to nail down the claim, neuropharmacologist and biologist Joseph Miller, with the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine, told Discovery News.

"On the basis of what we've done so far, I'd say I'm 99 percent sure there's life there," he added.

Viking Found Organics on Mars, Experiment Confirms
http://news.discovery.com/space/viking-mars-organics-experiment.html

Scientists repeated a key Viking experiment using perchlorate-enhanced soil from Chile's Atacama Desert, which is considered one of the driest and most Mars-like places on Earth, and found telltale fingerprints of combusted organics -- the same chemicals Viking scientists dismissed as contaminants from Earth.

"Contrary to 30 years of perceived wisdom, Viking did detect organic materials on Mars," planetary scientist Christopher McKay, with NASA's Ames Research Center in California, told Discovery News. "It's like a 30-year-old cold case suddenly solved with new facts."

So there is life on Mars folks

Meaning of the Star Tarot
On the bleak landscape where the Tower stood, the Fool sits, empty, despairing. He hoped to find direction on this spiritual journey, a path to his spiritual self, but having just learned that most of his life was a lie, he now feels lost. Sitting on the cold stones, he gazes up at the night sky wishing for some kind of guide. And that is when he notices, nearby, a beautiful girl with two water urns. As he watches, she kneels by a pool of water illuminated with reflected starlight. She empties the urns, one into the pool, one onto the thirsty ground.

"What are you doing," he asks her. She looks up at him, her eyes twinkling like stars. "I am refilling this pool, so that those who are thirsty may drink, and I am also watering the earth so that more fruit trees will grow to feed those who are hungry." She nods back to a single fruit tree that stands nearby, a nightingale singing amid its branches.

"Come," she invites. "Sate your hunger and quench your thirst."

The Fool plucks some fruit from the tree, then kneels by her and drinks from the pool. The water tastes wonderful, like liquid starlight, and the fruit is equally delicious. Both help to heal his wounded heart.

Having quenched his thirst and sated his hunger, the Fool lays back to gaze up at the stars. "They're so beautiful," he said, "but so distant."

"Like possible futures," agrees the girl. "Cool and distant. Yet if you keep one in sight, it can guide you to your destination no matter how far away it is." Even as she says this, she began to fade away, like dew, vanishing. All that remains is a gleam that was at the center of her forehead. This rises up and up, until it settles in the night sky as a shining star. "Follow your star," the woman's voice seems to sing from that light, "and have hope."

The Fool takes in a breath and rises. It is a dark night, a desolate land. But for the first time, he has a guiding light to show him the way. Distant as it is, it restores his faith.

The Star is associated with the number 17, which equals 8 (1+7=8). Eight is Strength, the quality needed to accept your faults and love yourself in spite of them. The bird in the tree in the background is the sacred ibis of thought, roosting in the tree of the mind. The astrological sign of the Star is Aquarius.

Roscoe quote


Bernini
St Peter’s Square was built between 1656 and 1667. It has 284 Doric columns, each 18.3 metres tall. In the middle rise two fountains, one by Bernini himself, the other by Carlo Maderno.
Bernini chose the ellipse apparently to symbolise Copernicus’ discovery that our solar system was based on ellipses – the planetary orbits around the sun.
Interestingly, the hieroglyph for Heliopolis is not only the obelisk with cross, but also a circle or ellipse, divided into eight, the symbol of city. It is a rather remarkable coincidence that Bernini’s design for St Peter’s “Square” has the eight divisions there.

He brings up Thomas Jefferson visit to Rennes
He is also listed as the editor of "The Book of the Holy Grail" by Joseph of Arimathea at Rennes Le Chateau in 54 A.D.

he Maison Carrée is an ancient building in Nîmes, southern France; it is one of the best preserved temples to be found anywhere in the territory of the former Roman Empire.



[The hexa (6) refers to the 6 columns at the front.] The sides have 11 columns, each.

The Maison Carrée is an example of Vitruvian architecture.

DaVinci's Vitruvian man
Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci, an illustration of the human body inscribed in the circle and the square derived from a passage about geometry and human proportions in Vitruvius's writings

According to Vitruvius, architecture is an imitation of nature. As birds and bees built their nests, so humans constructed housing from natural materials, that gave them shelter against the elements. When perfecting this art of building, the Greek (Έλληνες) invented the architectural orders: Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. It gave them a sense of proportion, culminating in understanding the proportions of the greatest work of art: the human body. This led Vitruvius in defining his Vitruvian Man, as drawn later by Leonardo da Vinci: the human body inscribed in the circle and the square (the fundamental geometric patterns of the cosmic order).

The Maison Carrée inspired the neoclassical Église de la Madeleine in Paris and in the United States the Virginia State Capitol,[7] which was designed by Thomas Jefferson, who had a stucco model made of the Maison Carrée while he was minister to France in 1785.

Jefferson was a Knights Templar Strict Observance

The Storytellers

C. G. Marschall von Bieberstein, Karl Gotthelf Hund, Baron von Hund und Alten-Grotkau (1722/09/01 - 1776/10/28), and Johann Auguste von Starck (1741/10/29 - 1816/03/13). Gould also notes: "In 1743 the Masons of Lyons invented the Kadosch degree, comprising the vengeance of the Templars, and thus laid the foundation for all the Templar rites."1 Of them all, Von Hund, and his Rite of Strict Observance, had the greatest influence on the Freemasonry of his time, and on the additional degrees to the present day.

A German nobleman, von Hund, who had been initiated in Masonry at Paris, and who was highly impressed by the myths and legends connected with the different knightly orders which took part in the crusades, had about the year 1750 formed a Masonic system called "the Strict Observance," which essentially was based on the legend of the Knights Templar, the escape of the Count of Beaujeau, nephew of Jacques De Molay, to Scotland, etc.; and in this system he put in the idea of a Grand Master, who had all the reins in his hands and who one day was going to call the Knights Templar to action and to lead them to splendid exploits. In the beginning this Grand Master was unknown, but - how it happened nobody can tell, whether it was a fancy of von Hund or an invention of one of his friends - suddenly the Stuart Pretender put up his head in the system as this unknown Grand Master and consequently his restoration to the throne of England became the goal of "the Strict Observance."

It claimed that Pierre d'Aumont was the immediate successor of Jacques de Molay. We owe this innovation to Baron de Hund, a high dignitary of Craft, who relates it in his book entitled "The Rite of the Strict Observance

"After the catastrophe,(the immolation of de Molay) the Provincial Grand Master of Auvergne, Pierre d'Aumont, escaped with two commanders and five knights. In order to avoid recognition, they disguised themselves as masons and escaped to the Scottish island of Mull, where they found the Grand Commander George de Harris and several other brethren with whom they decided to continue the Order. They held a Chapter on St.John's Day 1313 and named Aumont, first of the name, Grand Master. In order to avoid persecution, they borrowed symbols from the masonic craft and called themselves Free Masons...

"In 1361, the Grand Master of the Temple moved the seat of his Order to Aberdeen and, subsequently the Order spread under the veil of Freemasonry in Italy, in Germany Spain and elsewhere."

John Charpentier(5) comments that "this fiction" was to have considerable influence over eighteenth century secret societies one of which was the German "Illuminati of Bavaria".
