ESSENTIAL SOLAR MAN

MAN IS SO MUCH MORE than human flesh, blood and bone; more than an earthen form with the Breath of Life in his nostrils. MAN is a Solar System — or, more accurately, a Solar Entity. His Spirit dwells in the blue flame at the center of the sun. His Heart and Mind are embodied by the planets with their moons. His Body is the entire Solar Entity. “We” created man, male and female, in our own image and likeness and placed him on Earth to “dress and keep” the Garden of Eden, according to the Creation Story in the Book of Genesis which says: “Let us make man….” However, the collective body of “Mankind” is not the entire essence of what Man is. Essential Man is embodied by the entire Solar Entity—and Venus may play a focal role in the Mind of Essential Man.

Whether or not Venus was once a comet, as Velikovsky speculated, or whether, as a planet, Venus fell out of her orbit, knocked off by some very powerful vibrational impact, or withdrawal, something profoundly traumatic occurred in our solar system to push the earth out of its orbit and tilt its rotational axis 23 degrees. Could it possibly have been man’s failure to remain in vibrational harmony with the Will of the LORD God for him and his withdrawal from Eden to create his own version of Paradise? There’s no doubt in my mind that the “Fall” had ripple effects and dire consequences on the order and harmony of the planets and their orbital movements in our solar system.

MORNING STAR

According to Immanuel Velikovsky, Venus was once a comet that collided with Mars and passed dangerously close to Earth, disrupting human activities on the planet and spraying the earth with crude oil and insects, most notably flies. She was called “Lucifer” and “Beelzebub“ (lord of the flies). She was greatly feared by earthlings who anticipated her return every fifteen years with great anxiety, until she was captured by our sun and caused to travel in an orbit like the other planets, and to appear in the morning sky. Thus she was called “Morning Star” and “Bringer of the Dawn.” She also appears at dusk and drops down out of sight into “the underworld,” according to Greek mythology, appearing to “fall” from the heavens.

In the Testament of Solomon, Beelzebul (not Beelzebub) appears as prince of the demons and says that he was formerly a leading heavenly angel who was associated with the star Hesperus (the normal Greek name for the planet Venus.

The prophet Isaiah (14:12) spoke of Lucifer as the “son of the morning” who was “brought down to hell.” Here is the passage:

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hath said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”

LUCIFER AS VENUS

Immanuel Velikovsky wrote extensively about Venus in his trilogy: “Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval, and Ages In Chaos.” I referenced him in a previous post. Much of what he speculated and predicted about the planet, such as her hot temperature, proved to be accurate later in outer space explorations. Today Venus has a rather harsh climate and doesn’t experience typical rainfall like we do here on Earth. “Sulfuric acid rain falls in its upper atmosphere which evaporates before reaching the surface due to extreme heat. Trace amounts of water in the upper atmosphere combine with sulfur dioxide to form clouds of sulfuric acid that cause frequent rainstorms.” (Microsoft Bing)

I bring Venus into the picture simply because, as a member of our Solar Entity, her alleged radical behavior as a comet, falling from the heavens, colliding with Mars, and nearly with the earth, may well speak to the passage from Isaiah above. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!“

Is the prophet referring to a “fallen angel” named “Lucifer,” or to this cataclysmic cosmic event about which Velikovsky spent so much of his life tenaciously researching and writing about in his trilogy? Another scenario could blend them both together as singular parallel events, one occurring in the Inner Realms and the other an external event manifesting the internal “battle in heaven” between Michael and the “great dragon … that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan.” (Rev. 12:7-10). Interestingly, the word “Lucifer” isn’t even used in this passage from Revelation.

With a little research, I found that the word “Lucifer” was integrated into Catholic literature and thinking by Pope Gregory the Great (590 AD) who attached it to the “Devil and Satan.” Outside of Christendom, Lucifer has been associated with the planet Venus, the bright morning and evening star, therefore the “bringer of light.” In the Gospel of Mary Magdalene Jesus is said to have called her “Mary Lucifer” for her bright light of understanding and expression, and the “Magdala,” tower of strength and power, as well as “Apostle of apostles.” Jesus is referred to only once as the “day star” in the Second Epistle of Peter (2 Peter 1:19). Nowhere in my Crossway Comprehensive Bible Concordance does the word “Lucifer” even appear. I am left to conclude that only the planet Venus bears the name “Lucifer.”

As stated above, the Mind of Man is embodied by the planets of our solar system. We speak of the influence the stars and planets have on us and our psyche in astrology — which is a degraded remnant of the ancient “science of Mazzaroth”—a word that appears in only one place in the Old Testament: the Book of Job: “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?” Mazzaroth has to do with the twelve constellations of the Zodiac and the precession of the earth’s rotational axis through their “houses,” marking the seasons and ages through which we travel. We are currently in the Age of Aquarius. In Genesis 1:14 we read that God made the heavens to be “for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.”

“PLUCK A FLOWER AND DISTURB A STAR”

While we know something of the influences that impact us from heavenly bodies, we know very little, if anything at all, about the influences we may have on our immediate Solar Home among the stars. “What!?” you may exclaim. Indeed, how can human beings, in size comparable to “fleas on a dog’s back,”—as my long-departed friend and Earth Science Professor Dr. John Waskom once compared human beings—have any influence on the planet’s function in the solar system?! That may well be so in relationship to tiny and seemingly insignificant human beings — whose tallest skyscrapers and major cities cannot even be distinguished from outer space—but not in relationship to Essential Solar Man. The activity in the Collective Consciousness of Man is so much more impactful on the larger picture than the puny minds of earthbound humans.

The current activity in the Collective Consciousness of Man is increasingly of a more spiritual nature. A recent report indicates that seven out of ten Americans have left their religion and adopted a more “spiritual” path toward enlightenment and oneness with God. The word religion has a Latin root meaning to bind back to. It seems it may have served its purpose and is no longer needed. Religion is a dead end path, literally. The faithful have to die in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That’s not what Jesus taught. He taught the Kingdom of Heaven is “within you . . . at hand and all around you.” It seems that people are increasingly finding that to be true.

This change in the vibrational climate and content of the Collective Consciousness is encouraging. We will see what impact this shift will have in the larger context of our Home among the stars. This is also a very large and deeply complex subject requiring a degree of spiritual maturity and development of consciousness to even venture into — and I may have “pushed the envelope” a bit too far in this post. However, it is a pivotal and important subject; one to which we must be willing to give serious and mature consideration if we are to remember our past so as not to repeat it. I may return to the subject matter for further development in my next post. We’ll see what Spirit says in my heart . . . and to what the response may be, if any, to this post. I welcome your comments by email. Until then,

Be love. Be loved.
