Min's Apocalypse Commentary - Chapter 4
Mighty Min
Chapter 4
Historically, the angelic hierarchy is ascribed definitive
names and posts. The most common denominator among ancient
myths of the chief planetary Gods number three, seven, and
twelve. Where the three and seven are the ten vast regions
of the Gods--i.e., the ten planets in their sidereal order.
And the twelve are their twelve synodic courtyards of rule
exerted upon the Earth (from their positions to the Earth).
For example, we know that Michael is the superconscious an-
thropomorphic archetype of the chief Olympian God Zeus, or
Jupiter. While Satan is chief of the Titans Kronos, Saturn,
who along with his fallen angels is defeated in the war of
ten sidereal years then chained in Tartaros for a thousand
years. Remember who fathered who. Earth begat her heavenly
firmament, Ouranos, who fathered Kronos, who fathered Zeus.
So Mother Earth begat her celestial sphere who begat Satan
who begat the Dominant one Michael. Because we are created
in the image and likeness of the eternal Gods from whom we
are descended, then the angels of heaven and earth, and be-
neath the earth are apt to appear to us in human-like form.
The chain of custody of the Earth, of the dust or atoms of
the Earth, from subatomic forces to whole human beings and
their sundry conditions, the unbroken chain of incarnation
as it were, here on Earth where flesh begets flesh, spirit
begets spirit, mans chain is interlinked by Earth's memory
beginning at Adam & Eve, through the end of the human race.
The elemental building blocks of today are yet tied to the
building blocks of yesterdays, and harbingers of tomorrows
to the end of Time (child of Earth & Starry Heaven). Oppor-
tunity for mans temptation occurs over Time whose angel is
Satan. Isn't it interesting that the diatonic color Indigo
is oft-omitted by modern science--the very chroma of Satan-
superior in the zodiac! Perhaps our collective aversion to
Satan encourages us to deny Satan's benefic force to Earth,
which is the World Capricorn, Time in the World, Time that
we use to do good and evil, and thereby accumulate "karma".
When we think of atoms, we think of "impelling" influences,
spirit, which is effectively "fixed"--adhering to the laws
of the universe so perfectly that an atom of carbon for ex-
ample is identical as a basic unit throughout the universe.
How can we know this when we're confined to this planet in
this solar system? Our confidence in the law is infallible.
It's the reproducibility of experimentation that makes men
confident in the laws of the universe, ergo that's science.
Thus the participation of men in science gives it veracity.
By observing and analyzing the electromagnetic spectrum of
starlight reaching Earth from millions of distant suns, we
find that various spectral classifications of common stars
share most characteristics which make them distinguishable
from other stars thus the repeatability of nuclear physics
is witnessed by stellar radiation across billions of light-
years to Earth's firmament. Thus the Psalmist David writes:
"caeli enarrant gloriam Dei
the heavens they are relating the glory of the Gods,
et opera manuum eius adnuntiat
and the works by the hands of him they are announced
firmamentum" --Psa 19:1 (Vulg. 18-2)
on the firmament.
Remember that Earth's firmament is where men walk on terra
firma, or sail on her waters, or fly in Earth's skies. Man
sends unmanned instruments into outer space, but man NEVER
leaves Earth's inner space, being confined to about 250 to
300 miles above sea level to wit, as in the space shuttles.
Bottom line is Earth's heavenly firmament is right here on
Earth, not somewhere deep in outer space. The announcement
of God's universal works is radiated spherically in all di-
rections from each sun thereof, which radiation is carried
all the way to us--and to every other solar system--across
lightyears unobstructed thru the near-vacuum of deep space.
Hence we know that natural law is universal and repeatable,
reliable and inexorable. God's law defines the boundary of
each of his holy angels, each in their sidereal orbits and
synodic positions to Earth's iris, commencing on our local
meridian. How God's angels "get along" forms the mythology
of astrology, their innate universal archetypes, and their
powers and principalities as Gods interact on the Earth in
human form, we collectively being them & them collectively
being us, the solar system altogether creating, sustaining
and destroying through the grand skein of life & afterlife.
The Gods project our anthropomorphic Archangels toward man.
Hence, Archangel Michael is Jupiter, "Emperor" of the Gods.
Satan is Saturn, "Judgment" ranking second only to his son
Jupiter. Gabriel is Apollo, "Strength" of the Sun. The Sun
exalts in Aries hence Mars is "Regent of the Sun", King of
Wands whose principality or terrestrial courtyard is Aries,
so Uriel is Mars the "Tower", the "Fire" of the Gods whose
scavenging vultures "feast on the fallen". These four Gods,
Jupiter(Michael), Saturn(Satan), Sun(Gabriel), Mars(Uriel),
exalt in the cardinal or "king" elements: Water, Air, Fire,
& Earth, respectively. Not surprisingly these are the same
four planets which the prophet Nostradamus had in his seal,
with his natal Sun transiting midheaven to rule in the 5th
house of his horoscope, and Jupiter ruling 12th house over
Mars & Saturn therein. Add to this, he had Venus ruling in
the 7th house, Mercury ruling 6th afflicting his Neptunian
souljourn therein. His natal Moon was ruling the 4th house.
Nosty's chart had all seven of his archangels in rulership.
Of course he knew this, being a master judicial astrologer
and devout Catholic. No wonder so few could understand him.
Raphael is Mercury the "Magician", the Physician or Healer.
"chief messenger" of the Gods. Raphael exalts in the Queen
of Swords, Aquarius--sustainer of the element Air. Jophiel
is the "Beauty" of God Venus, guardian of the Tree or Book
of Life, Libro, she who wields the flaming sword, guarding
her terrestrial principality of King of Swords, ergo Libra.
The Archangel Chamuel is the Moon, "the vision of God" who
has emotional feeling, to wit compassion (and whose waning
phase Hekate is the favorite of Zeus) thus the Moon exalts
in the principality of Passion, Taurus. Of the hundreds of
famous commentators on angels, St. Jerome, Dante Alighieri,
and the Vulgate itself--apocryphal books notwithstanding--,
in general terms the angelic hierarchy outlines as follows:
(Jerome)
1 Seraphim
2 Cherubim
3 Powers
4 Dominions
5 Thrones
6 Archangels
7 Angels
(Dante)
1 Seraphim
2 Cherubim
3 Thrones
4 Dominations
5 Virtues
6 Powers
7 Archangels
8 Principalities
9 Angels
Again, the classic Greco-Roman myth provides the benchmark
against which previous and subsequent angelic myths can be
best recognized and understood in basic astrological terms.
Consider, the Gods of the Pantheion are well-known by both
astronomical & astrological characteristics and behaviours.
Man, who is created in the image & likeness of the Gods is
in communication with the Almighty through his holy angels.
How the Archangels communicate with humans is archetypally
familiar and common to all of us, yet is singularly unique
to each of us on an individual basis, according to how far
we have evolved as souls, and our self-imposed limitations.
We tend to congregate into and away from groups of similar
unfoldment, as our physical, mental and spiritual capacity
takes us. Those with extraordinary limits or extraordinary
gifts tend to specialize, and often excel more than others.
But how much they influence the world, depends on how much
they demonstrate, communicate, and propagate their talents.
Even the most unknown hermit can refine his or her ability,
but to share it with others requires a little extra effort.
The question arises, how much of the Archangels as we know
them is projected from ourselves up toward the illimitable,
I mean, collectively, archetypally? In essence, Archangels
are our focii of that lagrange point between God & Man, or,
to reminisce, Michelangelo's unrivaled rendition of YHWH &
Adam not quite ever touching--forever leaving room to grow,
but also highlighting that point of no return, the abyssal
of chaos! It seems that our Creator placed a great deal of
confidence in us as human beings, in our body, mind & soul.
Gabriel's trumpet invites John's awareness by his solar an-
gel, i.e. John's own lagrange between himself and Almighty
God along the sphere, plane or dimension of the 4th heaven
beyond this the third. The level or extent of surrender on
John's part has opened the door that much to the Archangel.
The less of "John" in the equation the more that his angel
channels Gabriel's collective archetype, his consciousness,
as if John's Archangel opens the door by John's invitation.
This is John's oversoul opening the door to his soul, free-
will being the keyword. Not by John's will, but God within
opens his soul's outer door in heaven. Think of this as it
was before you were born in this mortal life. Your soul is
arguing with your oversoul (i.e., your fallen angels doing
battle with God's holy angels) concerning your coming fate
in your next incarnation--which you know will be difficult.
You know this, because you know that God's will supersedes
your own every time. You don't like it. You protest, since
that part of your will that's asynchronous with God's will
can't understand why. After all, you were doing so well in
heaven--why must you return to the Earth in a new body who
is vulnerable to the perils and pitfalls of the fallen man?
So John's consciousness ascends in vibration to the fourth
heaven where is seated--meaning ruling--the king of heaven.
Remember, the whole solar system localized in its position
in the Milky Way from the Sun's genesis, during which this
local solar kernel of creation formed orbits in accordance
with the universal law, the law of the iris, also known as
the "eye of the sky". From its inception, our solar system
is a vast "atom" in the natural evolution of the Milky Way
galaxy, which itself evolves within a vastly greater macro-
cosmic evolution of galactic clusters, then super-clusters,
then super-super-clusters. . .to googolplexes ad infinitum.
Because the universe is infinite, we can never see the end
of it, not even in the mind of God, because God himself is
Illimitable. The infinite hyperdimensional cosmic fractals
of God's creating appear to know no bounds save those that
are imposed by his universal law, being one & three, seven
& twelve, which are: Unity & Trinity, Diatonic & Chromatic
at its foundation. I'll quote a few Cayce reading excerpts:
"Each planetary influence vibrates at a different rate of
vibration. An entity entering that influence enters that
vibration; not necessary that he change, but it is the
grace of God that he may! It is part of the universal
consciousness, the universal law" [0281-055#19]
"...Arcturus is that which may be called the center of
this universe...
"...The solar system of which the earth is a part is only
a portion of the whole. For, as indicated in the number
of planets about the earth, they are of one and the same
- and they are relative one to another. It is the cycle
of the whole system that is finished" [5749-014#8]
"Rather, then, than the stars RULING the life, the life
should rule the stars - for man was created a little bit
higher than all the rest of the whole universe, and is
capable of harnessing, directing, enforcing, the laws of
the universe" [0005-002#3]
"Yet these, as the entity will find, are of one law, IN
the material world, - which is causation world; but that
they arise as well from those spiritual laws, and that
the causation law is the outgrowth of the spiritual law...
...For, to be absent from the body is to be present in
the consciousness of spirit, or that we have CALLED
spirit, or the cosmic consciousness, the universal
forces..." [1998-001#6,9; end quotes of Cayce readings]
In keeping with scripture, Cayce equates Jesus Christ with
the center of the universal forces, literally, the fulfill-
ment of the universal law [Mat 5:17; 2Co 5:1; Ga 6:2 ibid].
Arcturus is a bright orange star marking the end of caeles-
tial Virgo (alBoo 29Vir26' +30:44' mag. -0.04) which marks
nearly the same longitude as the bright binary star, Spica
(alVir 29Vir03' -2:03' mag. 0.97). Arcturus is universally
known as the Herdsman or the "ox-driver" on the caelestial
zodiac, which word derives from the ancient Greek zodiakos,
meaning literally "circle of animals". Because evening pre-
cedes morning in every ancient myth, Libra, the first sign
of evening, is liturgically-speaking the first sign of the
zodiac. At zodiacal opposition is Aries, the first sign of
of morning, ecclesiastically-speaking. Similarly each sign
has a yin and yang, a feminine and masculine principle. So
there is the entering and leaving of each zodiacal sign in
in the circle of animals. The chart below illustrates this:
Ari Gem Leo Lib Sag Aqu |
1/2 5/6 9/10 13/14 17/18 21/22 |
/---\---/---\---/---\---/---\---/---\---/---\---/
| 3/4 7/8 11/12 15/16 19/20 23/24
| Tau Can Vir Sco Cap Pis
Thus the odd-numbered signs of the zodiac peak at opposite
polarity to the even-numbered signs in a way comparable to
a wave, with odd-numbered crests and even-numbered troughs.
Remember, the numbering of the signs of the zodiac are two-
fold. The common, ecclesiastical zodiac commences on Aries,
which is the exaltation of Apollo in the first sign of mor-
ning. While the liturgical zodiac begins at Libra, evening,
with the exaltation of Saturn the "sun of darkness", hence
Satan. I suspect this is why orthodox xians reject "occult"
teachings, studies and practices for fear of their "shadow-
self", that vital and integral component of soul, mind and
body, which together with the "light-self" form a complete,
individuating human being. Hence, the yin or anima of self
(shadow, feminine) & the yang or animus (light, masculine)
of the self-same animate entity are complements one of the
other. Is this why fearful orthodox xians have loathed and
subjugated this feminine part of man for so many centuries,
thus projecting their delusions--fear of Satan--onto women?
Of course, every human being, every man and woman has both
yin and yang in their psyche and persona, a right and left
side to every aspect of one complete being. A complete man
& a complete woman married together form one complete body
as God the Creator intended, "to be fruitful and multiply"
[Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18,21-25]. When you look at the circle
of animals (zodiac), this unified duality becomes apparent.
Since each of the planets has yin & yang aspects e.g. Zeus
& Hera, Kronos & Rhea, Adonai & Adonis, etc., thus each of
the twelve signs made by the planets resonate their nature,
with the Moon (yin) & her twin brother Sun (yang) complete
and together in Cancer & Leo. By the same principle Taurus
(Adonis) complements Libra (Adonai), inferior and superior
aspects of Venus. Note how their polarities complement one
to the other. The same is true of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter &
Saturn, with each planet's inferior and superior aspect in
complementary opposition--reflecting their innate feminine
and masculine principles in accordance with their sidereal
orbit to the Sun (10), and synodic orbit (12) to the Earth.
Since the Sun & Moon both orbit the Earth sidereally, then
they each make one sign only in the Earth's zodiac, to wit:

So the iris & twenty-four seated elders encircling the cen-
ter throne is the zodiac and feminine-masculine principles
of each planetary God and the reign they make to the Earth
relative to the Sun. Being "seated" means these elders are
fixed by the planets who rule them, and being light(white),
is their pure togetherness in the pure light of the throne.
The center throne is the center of activity where the king
is seated. Wheresoever the king goes, then the throne with
its astrological entourage goes with him. Our solar system
is the center of itself within this infinite universe, and
the center within our solar system is the barycenter of it-
self about which the Sun and its planets, moons, asteroids,
comets etc. are mutually in orbit. This in turn orbits the
Milky Way's barycenter (/sgra-b) about which everything in
it is mutually in orbit. Then comes galactic clusters, and
super to the Nth power galactic clusters ad infinitum--all
things being relative. Hereon the Earth, the center is the
center of each person, relative to the center of the Earth
(my Planetary Awareness Technique explains this in detail).
The "sea of glass like rock crystal" is the Earth's memory
Mnemosyne embodied in her crystalline structure of Earth's
thin crust, which is essentially a hollow sphere filled by
the great mass of Earth's molten elements, all of which is
attracted by its own elemental forces toward her geocenter
about which it mutually rotates. That the Earth is "clear"
refers to the astrological forces which we "view" from the
center of the Earth, the center of Mnemosyne's crystalline
memory. In the middle of the throne, and all around it are
four animals each of which has omnidirectional vision. The
first has the face of a lion, the second a calf, the third
like a man, and fourth like an eagle. These are messengers,
heralds of the Gods. Each is triune, having six wings each,
meaning two wings for each angel & three angels per animal.
The elder Gods are the Titans, thus their elder messengers
yield to the younger Olympian Gods & their youthful angels.
When the elders give glory to Jupiter, who is the reigning
king of heaven, the Emperor of volition, or will-in-action,
then the elders are submitting to the king's will and they
remove their golden crowns and cast them before his throne.
Volition is the most vital substance of judicial astrology,
since freewill is only free when we observe his divine law.
The face of each of the four animals refers to the God who
exalts in that animal's cardinal or creative courtyard, as
the lion is the archetype of strength, the Sun exalting in
Aries. The calf typifies sacrifice, Saturn exalts in Libra.
The man is Mars who exalts in Capricorn. The eagle Jupiter
is exalted in Cancer. This cardinal quadruplicity is ruled
by God the Creator or creative trinity of the four animals.
The fixed quadruplicity is ruled by God the Sustainer, sus-
tenant trinity of the four animals. While the mutable quad-
druplicity ruled by God the Destroyer, destructive trinity
of the four animals. Hence the trinity of the four animals
refers to the three signs in each animal's respective quad-
rant of the zodiac. The lion is for Aries, Taurus & Gemini.
The calf is for Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius. The man-like
face is for Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces. With Cancer, Leo
& Virgo for the eagle of Jupiter. So the four animals have
three qualities each, Cardinal, Fixed & Mutable, or triune
nature. As Crowned Emperor of heaven, Jupiter is dignified
above his fellow planetary Gods, who as you'll recall, num-
ber ten in all, and MUST be considered altogether One--not
ten separate Gods only. The God of Abraham is One. The ten
vessels of God are his ten planetary heavens, his dwelling
places in our solar system. He is everywhere in all things.

Astrologers fail to predict proof they are wrong
(Filed: 17/08/2003)
Good news for rational, level-headed Virgoans everywhere: just as you
might have predicted, scientists have found astrology to be rubbish,
writes Science Correspondent Robert Matthews.
Good news for rational, level-headed Virgoans everywhere: just as you
might have predicted, scientists have found astrology to be rubbish.
Its central claim - that our human characteristics are moulded by the
influence of the Sun, Moon and planets at the time of our birth -
appears to have been debunked once and for all and beyond doubt by the
most thorough scientific study ever made into it.
For several decades, researchers tracked more than 2,000 people - most
of them born within minutes of each other. According to astrology, the
subject should have had very similar traits.
The babies were originally recruited as part of a medical study begun
in London in 1958 into how the circumstances of birth can affect
future health. More than 2,000 babies born in early March that year
were registered and their development monitored at regular intervals.
Researchers looked at more than 100 different characteristics,
including occupation, anxiety levels, marital status, aggressiveness,
sociability, IQ levels and ability in art, sport, mathematics and
reading - all of which astrologers claim can be gauged from birth
charts.
The scientists failed to find any evidence of similarities between the
"time twins", however. They reported in the current issue of the
Journal of Consciousness Studies: "The test conditions could hardly
have been more conducive to success . . . but the results are
uniformly negative."
Analysis of the research was carried out by Geoffrey Dean, a scientist
and former astrologer based in Perth, Australia, and Ivan Kelly, a
psychologist at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Dr Dean said the results undermined the claims of astrologers, who
typically work with birth data far less precise than that used in the
study. "They sometimes argue that times of birth just a minute apart
can make all the difference by altering what they call the 'house
cusps'," he said. "But in their work, they are happy to take whatever
time they can get from a client."
The findings caused alarm and anger in astrological circles yesterday.
Roy Gillett, the president of the Astrological Association of Great
Britain, said the study's findings should be treated "with extreme
caution" and accused Dr Dean of seeking to "discredit astrology".
Frank McGillion, a consultant to the Southampton-based Research Group
for the Critical Study of Astrology, said of the newly published work:
"It is simplistic and highly selective and does not cover all of the
research." He added that he would lodge a complaint with the editors
of the journal.
Astrologers have for centuries claimed to be able to extract deep
insights into the personality and destiny of people using nothing more
than the details of the time and place of birth.
Astrology has been growing in popularity. Surveys suggest that a
majority of people in Britain believe in it, compared with only 13 per
cent 50 years ago. The Association of Professional Astrologers claims
that 80 per cent of Britons read star columns, and psychological
studies have found that 60 per cent regularly read their horoscopes.
Despite the scepticism of scientists, astrology has grown to be a huge
worldwide business, spawning thousands of telephone lines, internet
sites and horoscope columns in newspapers and magazines.
It seems that no sector of society is immune to its attraction. A
recent survey found that a third of science students subscribed to
some aspects of astrology, while some supposedly hard-headed
businessmen now support a thriving market in "financial astrology" -
paying for predictions of trends such as the rise and fall of the
stock market. Astrology supplements have been known to increase
newspaper circulation figures and papers are prepared to pay huge sums
to the most popular stargazers.
Some of the most popular figures in the field, such as Russell Grant,
Mystic Meg and Shelley von Strunckel, can earn £600,000 or more a
year.
A single profitable astrology website can be worth as much as £50
million.
When the Daily Mail discovered that its expert on the zodiac, Jonathan
Cainer, was about to leave the newspaper in 1999, it reportedly
offered him a £1 million salary and a £1 million bonus to stay. He
still preferred the offer at the Daily Express: no salary but all the
money from his telephone lines.
The time-twins study is only the start of the bad news for
astrologers, however. Dr Dean and Prof Kelly also sought to determine
whether stargazers could match a birth chart to the personality
profile of a person among a random selection.
They reviewed the evidence from more than 40 studies involving over
700 astrologers, but found the results turned out no better than
guesswork.
The success rate did not improve even when astrologers were given all
the information they asked for and were confident they had made the
right choice.
Dr Dean said the consistency of the findings weighed heavily against
astrology.
"It has no acceptable mechanism, its principles are invalid and it has
failed hundreds of tests," he said. "But no hint of these problems
will be found in astrology books which, in effect, are exercises in
deception."
Dr Dean is ready for a torrent of criticism. He said: "I'm probably
the most hated person in astrology because I'm regarded as a
turncoat."

Mighty Min
Chapter 5
The king is seated upon the center throne holding a scroll
in his right hand, written in the front & back, and sealed
on the sidereal authority of the Gods. The "right" side of
the body is principally governed in the left hemisphere of
the brain and the left side of the body is governed in the
brain's right hemisphere. The "tree of life" reflects this
left-right balance of the planets as I've previously shown,
with Mercury, Saturn and Sun the "pillar of judgment", and
Neptune, Jupiter & Mars the "pillar of mercy", with Uranus,
Venus, Moon, & Pluto mediating between them in the balance,
particularly beautiful Venus, her grace exalting in Pisces.
Hence, the ancient myths of the world reflect this duality
of mankind, such as the Hopi creation myth on this weblink:

"He made our bodies of two principles, good and evil.
The left side is good for it contains the heart. The
right side is evil for it has no heart. The left side
is awkward but wise. The right side is clever and
strong, but it lacks wisdom. There would be a constant
struggle between the two sides, and by our actions we
would have to decide which was stronger, the evil or
the good" [end quote, Hopi Prophecy by Dan Katchongva]
In fact, the heart is far and away the strongest muscle in
the human body. If the right side be stronger it certainly
isn't for want of the heart but perhaps for something else.
The human brain embodies a whole universe of complexity at
every level of operation. There is tremendous connectivity
among and between its two hemispheres, with plenty of data
crossover or bioelectric "crosstalk". For example, signals
from the left side of both eyes is sent to the right brain,
while signals from the right side of both eyes tends to go
to the left brain. The human face is normally asymmetrical,
one ear lower than the other. The left side of the face is
more expressive of right-brain qualities, in wisdom, mercy
and victory, for which Neptune, Jupiter and Mars are known.
The right side of the face exhibits more left-brain charac-
teristics, by intellect, judgment & strength for which the
planets Mercury, Saturn and Sun are known. Between the two
hemispheres are the aether & infinity (Uranus), beauty and
balance (Venus), dreams & imaginings (Moon), until the cen-
ter of activity, mans ever-evolving sphere of practicality
and experience (Pluto). These ten planets compose the tree
of life with the central four planets sharing aeolian & io-
nian, minor & major, modalities, Uranus and Moon the minor,
Venus and Pluto the major. The major & minor modes are the
most common diatonic sidereal modes in musical composition.
So it's no wonder then that these four planets are central
to human experience, happiness, sadness and all in between.
That which is right in front of us is plain to see, illumi-
nated in the broad daylight. But what is left behind us is
hidden from plain view. The front of the scroll of life is
plain to see, but what is written on the back is invisible,
hidden from the conscious eye. The "right" hand is plainly
visible. Let us be conscious of it. The "left" hand is not
plainly visible. We are unconscious of it, or at best, sub-
conscious--ever wish you had eyes in the back of your head?
Through our subconscious and unconscious we can know, feel,
hear, and see into the superconscious dimensions of heaven.
The eyes before and behind see in all directions, all four
quadrants in the "circle of animals". Remember, the uncons-
cious is the weak nuclear force, the alchemical element of
Water with its aquatic triplicity of Cancer, Scorpio & Pis-
ces. Self-beingness is the strong nuclear force or element
of Fire and ignited triplicity of Aries, Leo & Sagittarius.
Consciousness is the electromagnetic force, the element of
Air and triplicity of Libra, Aquarius & Gemini. With Earth,
the gravitational force, triplicity of Capricorn, Taurus &
Virgo. Thus the three mother elements are signified by the
Alpha, Mu & Sigma, being Air, Water and Fire, respectively.

A) we have no king--we electe representatives
B) there is no throne, center or otherwise
C) what is siderial athority? the authority to cause the planets
to continue orbiting the sun? Heck, even a god couldn't change
that
D) you are yet to demonstrate existance of one or more gods.
E) why is it important that something is written on a 'scroll'?
F) why is it important that the scroll was sealed?
