• Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
• Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
• Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
• Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
• Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
• But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

- Gautama Buddha

1. ASTROLOGY – Why call the Sun's dark star companion (a Protostar) Vulcan?
   It is called Vulcan because theosophists like Max Heindel and Madam Blavatsky called it Vulcan. Further, they offered enough clues so we could define its orbit.
   • IS ASTROLOGY VALID?
     Astrology is a science that links the stars to sentient beings on planets. The ASTROMETRIC concept postulates that a connectivity between astral and physical space occurs at black hole boundaries (Schwarzschild singularities) within the space-time continuum. It postulates that the major astronomical bodies are seeded by a small primordial black hole, and the binary rotation of a pair of these black holes spin off seeds that form planets and satellites within any solar system.

     • Stars Aren't Smiling Down on 2002 - 12th January 2002
       Much depends -- according to Sergei Bezborodny, head of the astrology center at the Central House of the Russian Army -- on the period from Jan. 26-28 when oil prices will sink to a critical level. If Russia survives those days, then things will be fine.
       Perhaps the most pessimistic of the astrologers doing the rounds in the Russian media was Alexander Zarayev. He predicted in Argumenty i Fakty that Russia would see a bumpy ride between Feb. 28 and March 12 and an even worse time after July 27, with problems in the Middle East and other hot spots.
       The astrologer with the most specific predictions is probably Alexander Buzinov, a former supervisor at the now-disbanded laboratory for space and astrological forecasts at the Defense Ministry.

   • HOW IS ASTROLOGY USED IN THE ANALOGY TO FIND VULCAN?
     The same procedure that forms planets also generates the spiritual resources needed to form sentient life within those solar systems that can support life. Physics problems are often solved with the aid of analogies. Before the rapid development of digital computers, there were electrical analog computers that were used by engineers to solve differential equations. An analog method was used to define the role of Vulcan in forming the sentient species of mankind analogous to the way the Moon is used in the formation sentient individual beings. Consider these following references points:
     • THE MOON, THE PLANET OF FECUNDATION
       Thus as the Moon measures the tides of the earth so also does she measure the soul's passage from the shores of eternity through the waters of the womb to the world of time. . . . Thus the distance traveled by the New Moon during the prenatal period of gestation in the mother's womb and the distance traveled by the progressed Moon during the twenty-one years of post-natal development in the womb of Mother Nature correspond exactly.
       The Moon, orbiting the Earth is associated with the spirit journey mankind undertakes as he incarnates on Earth for a given life-time. By analogy, Vulcan orbiting the Sun gives rise to sentient species within our solar system.
     • FORM AND MEANING IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
       Our solar system embraces a total of ten Schemes. Mars, Mercury and the Moon are members of the Earth Scheme (according to Bailey, Besant and Leadbeater; Blavatsky disagrees); the sacred planets, Vulcan, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have their own evolutionary Schemes.
     • ENCYCLOPEDIC THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY
       Vulcan [from Latin Vulcanus] Astronomers at times have suspected the existence of a planet nearer the sun than Mercury, basing this upon perturbations of more than one kind observed in connection with Mercury and its orbit. (These perturbations have since been explained by relativity. A Sun-spot was once thought to be Vulcan).
       Long ago the name Vulcan was suggested for this hypothetical planet. It has been recorded that on March 26, 1859, a body was seen to be making a transit across the solar disk, yet nothing has been seen of this body since that time, although search has been made for it. Theosophy teaches that there is a planet, at present generally invisible to human scrutiny, closer to the sun than Mercury, and that it became generally invisible to human sight during the third root-race, after the fall of mankind into physical generation. The ancients spoke of seven sacred planets, and the Sun was often enumerated as a substitute or blind for this planet. Vulcan is so far away and dark that it is almost invisible unless special techniques are used to observe it.

   • HOW CAN WE CALCULATE VULCAN'S ORBIT?
     Vulcan's orbit is computed from both physical and astrological data. The astrological data is associated with the manifestation of the Infinite soul avatars, specifically Christ and Buddha. Forming Infinite Soul avatars is similar to forming an entire sentient species. Thus, possible astrological configurations occurring at the Dawn Of Mankind are examined and utilized to verify the astrological procedure.
     • OLDEST HUMANS JUST GOT OLDER -- BY 35,000 Years or OLDEST HUMANS JUST GOT OLDER - BY 35,000 YEARS
       Brown said the re-dating was important culturally because it pushed back the known dawn of mankind, the record of which in most cases only starts 50,000 years ago.
       "Which would mean 150,000 years of Homo sapiens without cultural stuff such as evidence of eating fish, of harpoons, anything to do with music, needles, even tools," he said.
       "This stuff all comes in very late except for stone knife blades, which appeared between 50,000 and 200,000 years ago, depending on whom you believe," he added in a commentary.
       The Vulcan web site dates the Dawn Of (Sentient) Mankind as55,655 to 55,680 BC The 'body type' likely formed earlier.
     • THE MICHAEL TEACHINGS
       There are 7 levels within each Soul Age. The Transcendental and Infinite levels are experienced after the cycle of physical incarnations. Transcendental and Infinite Souls may occasionally incarnate to act as teachers. For instance, Jesus the Christ was an incarnation of the Infinite Soul.
       SOUL AGES: Infant Soul, Baby Soul, Young Soul, Mature Soul, Old Soul, Transcendental Soul, Infinite Soul.
       The Infinite Soul matches all humans as well as all of six other sentient species.
     • SEARCHING FOR THE INNER TEACHER, OUR SOUL
       INFINITE SOUL is a manifestation of part of the highhest levels of the God Force,like the Spirit of Christ in Jesus or Buddha.
     • THE CETACEANS
       The Infinite Soul has come to balance 35 times. Of those times, have they manifested upon Earth only 7. They (the cetaceans) have had their "messiahs" and prophets, and in two instances have they formed a belief system around that one who was the manifestation of the Infinite Soul. For they, like you, either create gods of those they do not understand, or they kill them. Sometimes do you (all of you) do both.
       The times of manifestation of the Infinite Soul in the Christ and Buddha avatar as well as the transcendental soul in the Gandhi avatar has been used to define Vulcan's orbital parameters.
     • HELENA BLAVATSKY AND THEOSOPHY
       Who is this so-called Christ?" I asked. "They call him Maitreya, a Buddhist name, meaning 'The Solar Logos', who is said to be next to Lucifer in the spiritual hierarchy." Christ is associated with the "Solar Logos".
     • THE CHRISTIC FORCE
       Christ is wisdom itself, he is the Solar Logos, whose physical body is the Sun. Christ walks with his Sun, in the same manner as the human soul walks with his body of flesh and blood, Christ is the light of the Sun.
       Christ is associated with the Sun. Since Christ is an Infinite Soul, aspects between Vulcan and the Sun occur at His manifestation. Christ and Buddha are both known to manifest at daybreak. So Vulcan and the Sun must be then aligned at daybreak. This alignment forms the astrological "rising sign" for the avatar.
     • CAYCE'S SECRET, PART 3
       Note that the "stages" named in the above reading make use of language drawn from Cayce's astrological characterization of the planets: "mind" (Mercury), "wrath" (Mars), "flesh" (Earth), "love" Venus), "death" (Saturn), "Psychic" (Uranus), "mystic" (Neptune), and "consciousness" ("Septimus" or Pluto).
       Cayce is close, except that it should be "consciousness" (Vulcan). Vulcan is what as astrologically brought consciousness to all mankind and all cetaceans as well.

       Previous research from the University of Berkley, California, believes there is evidence to suggest non-avian dinosaurs survived around 30,000 years afterwards, and they eventually went extinct due to the 100,000 years of drastic climate change caused by the impact.
       Others however, believe the beasts died out in a matter of months, with palaeontologist Ken Lacovara previously saying:
       "They died suddenly and were buried quickly."

       Steiner's Occult Cosmology
       Everything is explained within a series of cosmic cycles: the Old Saturn, Old Sun, Old Moon, and Earth eras, and three future ones; each of which possesses certain characteristics:
       1. Old Saturn: Solar System single mass; densest substance "warmth"
       2. Old Sun: Sun, Moon, and Earth single mass; densest substance "air" (or gaseous)
       3. Old Moon: Earth and Moon single mass; densest substance "water" (or liquid)
       4. Earth: Present world; densest substance "earth" (or solid) during its densest substages
       5. "Jupiter") future increasingly
       6. "Venus") spiritualised worlds;
       7. "Vulcan") reverse of previous stages

       The Ninth Sphere is the fiery forge of Vulcan.
     • The Second Coming-John Dalmas
       cult forms around the teachings and miraculous abilities of Ngunda Aran, who insists he is not THE SECOND COMING, but just a guru preaching that love is the basic force of the universe and that fear is the corollary. Aran insists the Infinite Soul is coming back to coincide with an asteroid heading towards Earth, but not as a carpenter. This time he will return in the body of a married black Canadian software guru, who rejects the notion that he has Christ's soul inside his heart. Will this anointed one be nailed in the crosshairs of an Uzi from those who want him and his benefactor dead?
       THE SECOND COMING is an exciting telling of the return of Christ, but with a Hindu twist to the tale. As John Dalmas points out the philosophy and writings of Aran can be traced to Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Michael novels making this book a treat for her fans.
       Since a comet or asteroid impact could destroy the vast majority of mankind, this would be a good time for the Infinite Soul avatar to return.
     • VULCAN (the name)
       Vulcan is the name of several different things, derived from the name of the Roman god of fire and volcanoes, who made weapons for the other gods.
       1. Vulcan, a hypothetical planet between Mercury and the Sun
       Vulcan, a god in Roman mythology
       2. Avro Vulcan, aircraft
       3. M61 Vulcan, gun
       4. Vulcan, the planet and the race in Star Trek
       5. The Town of Vulcan, Alberta
       6. The City of Vulcan, Romania
       7. Vulcan Media, an educational software company from Poland
       8. Vulcan, a volcano in New Guinea
       9. Vulcan of the alchemists primary 'deity' associated with Paracelsian alchemy
       Astronomers seized on Theosophy's Vulcan and since the name implied warmth, thought it must be near the Sun.

This comet is known to our forefathers as a huge burning celestial body and when it entered into our solar system it caused cataclysms. The... Greeks called it TYPHON, Mayan people called it QUETZALCOATL, Sumerians Called it NIBIRU, people from Egypt called it APEP or SETH, and the old Chinese people called it THE RED DRAGON.

   • ANALYSIS OF THE AKKADIAN SEAL It is asserted that the 4,500 year-old Akkadian seal offers a truthful depiction of our known solar system and that it indicates the presence of additional planets within it.
   • CLYPEOLOGY Possibly by alien (angel) contact, an African tribe, the Dogons, had known about the Sirius star system 3000-4000 years ago. The anthropologists (Marcel Griaule, Germaine Dieterlen) published their article in "Journal De La Société Des Africainistes" in 1950. The Dogons knowledge included:
     • That the Sirius star system, most important (brightest?) star in the sky, - "po tolo" is made of the heaviest metal. Sirius B (a white dwarf made of dense matter) was discovered in 1970.
     • That the Sirius star system had a third star - "Emme ya". Sirius C was discovered in 1995.
     • The Dogons knew that planets gravitate around the Sun , that Jupiter had four moons, that Saturn's had ring, and there are three types of stars (stars, planets, and satellites).
   • PREHISTORIC MOON MAP UNEARTHED The passage tomb at Knowth is estimated to be about 5,000 years old. It was obviously built by men who had a sophisticated understanding of the motions of the Sun, Moon and stars. See the following Extra-Terrestrial Alien Involvement - Noah's Vessel to see a discussion of extra-terrestrial involvement on Earth around this time. Note verse 67.2 in The Book Of Noah sub-section.
   • ANCIENT TOMB CAPTURED BOTH SUN AND MOON The tomb's "light-box" is only the third ever discovered and is by far the most complex. It reveals the astonishingly detailed astronomical knowledge of the ancient people.
   • EARTH'S SIRIUS CONNECTION -TRACKING THE ALIEN ASTROENGINEERS
     The Nommos knew of previous meteorite strikes on Earth However strange this may sound, we have another evidence of a fantastically deep historical memory of the Dogon: they know quite well that the Lake Bosumtwi in Ghana was formed when a giant meteorite fell on the Earth [2, p. 1961]. According to the results of a special investigation, this infall happened not later than 1.3, or even 1.6, million years ago. It is rather doubtful that somebody, living then on our planet (it was the epoch of Homo habilis and maybe of the early Pithecanthropus), could have retained this information and conveyed it to the future Homo sapiens. This knowledge may also be of paleovisit origin.

   • NIBIRUAN SYMBOLS Did an ancient Bronze Artifact record Nibiru?
     A ten-inch wide bronze disc recently discovered in Germany has helped archeologists to uncover mainland Europe's oldest-known observatory. The disc shows celestial imagery that dates back 3600 years, including a cluster of seven stars (the Pleiades?), the Moon and Sun, and an enigmatic crescent that has been officially dubbed a 'solar boat' (12). Lee Covino, who sent me a cutting from 'Archeology', the publication of the Archeological Institute of America, wonders whether the clear trinity of major celestial symbols might indicate Nibiru's inclusion (as the boat-like crescent), particularly given the inclusion of seven stars (its moons?), and the 3600 year dating. When this story first came out in early 2002 several other researchers wondered the same thing.
     But, on the other hand, it's perfectly possible that this ornate bronze disc was created to celebrate a rare and significant event, and the timing 3600 years ago is of crucial importance. Only time will tell.
