50. The Whipped (→ Cih → Lamed) ... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Caesar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia [Lupus = Wolf], he ran around naked and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility ... creamy layer in the delicious bun
might have been an attempt to illustrate the Milky Way river,
which should be due to emerge like a spout of milky white fluid from the Breast of Cassiopeia, as might have been illustrated in Cb14-17:
... The tradition preserved by Hyginus in his Poetic Astronomy that the constellation Capricorn ('He-goat') was Zeus's foster-brother Aegipan, the Kid of the Goat Amalthea whose horn Zeus also placed among the stars, shows that Zeus was born at mid-winter when the Sun entered the house of Capricorn ... Earlier such a Milk would evidently have been destined for the twins of Amalthea, at the ancient time when the equinoctial colure had been at that place:
... The mythic landscape was an 'implex', by which term is meant a world of implications. ... Fanciful, assuredly, but neither the Milky Way nor the terrestrial Ganges offered any basis for the imagery of a river flowing to the four quarters of the earth 'for the purification of the three worlds'. One cannot get away from the 'implex' and it is now necessary to consider the tale of a new skeleton map, alias skambha: the equinoctial colure had shifted to a position where it ran through stars of Auriga and through Rigel. Skambha, as we have said, was the World Tree consisting mostly of celestial coordinates, a kind of wildly imaginative armillary sphere. It all had to shift when one coordinate shifted ... There were several spouts, because the precession of the Sun had shifted several times. For instance should we remember the spout of fresh water from the urn of Aquarius (the Great One). Rain came at Matar:
And this water surely would have reached to the Mouth of the Fish (Fomalhaut) 3 days later;
From Matar in February 28 to March 27 (*6) the distance should correspond to the distance from DECEMBER 26 (360) to March 27 (86). ... Space and time are a single, related concept in Runasimi [the language of the Inca people], represented by one word, pacha, which can also mean 'world' and 'universe'. The image of time familiar to Waman Puma was static and spatial: one could travel in time as one travels over earth - the structure, the geography, remaining unchanged. To him it does not matter that he shows Inka Wayna Qhapaq, who died in 1525, talking to Spaniards who did not arrive until 1532. Wayna Qhapaq was the last Inca to rule an undivided empire: he is therefore the archetype, and it must be he who asks the Spaniards. 'Do you eat gold?' .. ... For the Maori the past is an important and pervasive dimension of the present and future. Often referred to as the 'ever-present now', Maori social reality is perceived as though looking back in time from the past to the present. The Maori word for 'the front of' is mua and this is used as a term to describe the past, that is, Nga wa o mua or the time in front of us. Likewise, the word for the back is muri which is a term that is used for the future. Thus the past is in front of us, it is known; the future is behind us, unknown ... And a rongorongo glyph distance should correspond to the distance of such a time-space travel:
By the way, today is Wednesday March 13 AD 2025, and 72 * 5 = 360. I seem to have learned how to live synchronously without effort.
