The Glory Be
The Glory Be
(also called Y H V H Prayer-Song)
By Katia Romanoff
By Katia Romanoff
This can be prayed on a rosary or prayer rope. The Glory Be is to be said when you finger the wire/string that comes right before the large single beads. Those large beads, by the way, are called Pater Noster beads, meaning Our Father, because the regular Rosary has you say the Lord's Prayer, also called the Our Father, while fingering them. (On some Rosaries the single beads are not made larger, so you just know them because they're single---set apart from----the groups of ten little beads, called decades.)
On wire before large single beads:
Say one Glory Be as follows:
Say one Glory Be as follows:
Glory Be to the Father, to the Mother,
And to the Sacred Son,
And to the Lady Holy Spirit
They are the Four-in-One
And to the Sacred Son,
And to the Lady Holy Spirit
They are the Four-in-One
As it was in the Beginning
Is Now and ever Shall Be
World without End
Age to Ages, say Amen
Is Now and ever Shall Be
World without End
Age to Ages, say Amen
(Try singing the above two stanzas in your head to the tune of that old hippy song, "What's your Name? Who's your Daddy? Is he rich, is he rich like me?" It sounds nifty, and these two stanzas can be used as a Mantra by itself, without the rest of the Rosary.)
What's Your Name? /becomes:/ Glory Be...
Who's your Daddy? / To the Father, To the Mother
Is he rich? / And to...
Is he rich like me? / The Sacred Son
Has he taken..? / And to the Lady
Any time.... / Holy Spirit
To show / They are
To show you what it means.... / the Four in One (or Tetra--Gramma--Ton,
or Together they make One)
Who's your Daddy? / To the Father, To the Mother
Is he rich? / And to...
Is he rich like me? / The Sacred Son
Has he taken..? / And to the Lady
Any time.... / Holy Spirit
To show / They are
To show you what it means.... / the Four in One (or Tetra--Gramma--Ton,
or Together they make One)
Then the rock song goes up an octave or so, and you say the second half of the Glory Be, to "Tell it to me softly, wonder why? I'd really like to kno---ow....It's the time and the Season for loooov----ving..."
...Enter 60's keyboarding. Hah! I know you guys think I've lost it now! Hey that's a nice haunting mysterious kind of melody, and if anyone is musically inclined and wants to sing it and record it in a file somehow, we will insert it right here in the website, so there.
This is an admittedly whimsical "technique." If you get the tune (and hopefully the "revised" words) stuck in your head, it is a good thing. We get so many junky things stuck in a rut in our heads, playing over and over. Why not leash this repetitive (obsessive!) power of the brain and make it repeat something spiritually enriching. That brings to mind another technique you can make part of your repertoire. Whenever a song gets stuck in your mind, change its words to a favorite mantra, affirmation, or prayer-spell. Then it becomes a prayer-song, or song-spell. You can actually program your life like a computer in this way. If it's hard to make a song merge with your prayer or mantra, simplify your prayer until you are only saying a few key words---just two or three words if you must---over and over. If I get stuck in such an internal rut I start chanting, "Yahd. Heh. Vahv. Heh" (the Hebrew letters Y H V H) to whatever tune is taking over my mind.
The second part of the Glory Be verse doesn't precisely fit with the old rock song so you change the words like this:
Tell it to me softly / As it was in the beginning
Wonder Why? / It is now
I'd really like to kno---ow / Is now and ever shall be
It's the time / Without end
Of the Season / Age to Ages
for loving / say A - men
Wonder Why? / It is now
I'd really like to kno---ow / Is now and ever shall be
It's the time / Without end
Of the Season / Age to Ages
for loving / say A - men
Then you move onto the large bead, the Our Father/Pater Noster beads. Each time you come to a large bead you can say your favorite version of the Lord's Prayer, or one of the Goddess versions, "The Lady's Prayer" as given above. Take heart! There is no music part for the Lord's Prayer beads! But if anyone can think of a song it might go to, please let me know... <sly grin>

STRAIGHT TALK About GOD WELCOME! !/ http://asis.com/~stag/arithme.html W.E. Filmer has written a wonderful little booklet called "God Counts". I thought it would be nice to get a little different view of Bible numerics from that of Ivan Panin. There's also a Number Table below listing many numbers and their Biblical meanings. I have many more numbers to add to the list, but that'll happen later.
W.E. Filmer has written a wonderful little booklet called "God Counts". I thought it would be nice to get a little different view of Bible numerics from that of Ivan Panin. There's also a Number Table below listing many numbers and their Biblical meanings. I have many more numbers to add to the list, but that'll happen later.
For now, I want to introduce you to Filmer and God. There is much more than just counting the numbers of letters or vowels and consonants in any certain passage. Not many factors appear that way. "A more profound examination of the text of Scripture shows that there is a regular orchestral accompaniment of numerics playing in tune with the subject under discussion. As each idea is introduced the associated number echoes throughout all manner of divisions and classifications in a way which cannot be put down to mere chance.
"Let us take an example from the Old Testament and make a concentrated study of the first verse of Genesis which reads, 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.' In the Hebrew it looks like this:
"The numbers written above the letters are their numeric values. Hebrew reads from right to left, so that the first word is the one on the right and the last one is that on the left.
"The first thing to notice about this sentence is that it covers a complete act of creation, and that the universe, fresh from the hand of the Almighty was perfect. Everything leads us to expect that seven would be the most suitable number to accompany this thought. Now notice the following simple facts about the Hebrew sentence:
- 1. It contains 7 words.
- 2. The total number of letters is 28, or 7 x 4
- 3. The sentence divides into two equal parts: the first three words, 'In-the-beginning God created,' contain 14 letters, and the remaining four words contain 14 letters.
- 4. The second half of the sentence divides again into two equal parts: The two words for 'the heavens' contain 7 letters, and the two words for 'and-the earth' contain 7 letters.
- 5.The three nouns, God, heavens and earth have together 14 letters.
- 6. The numeric value of these three nouns is 777, or 7 x 111.
- 7. The numeric value of the verb, created, is 203, or 7 X 29.
- 8. The middle word (2 letters) and the one before it (5 letters) have together 7 letters.
- 9. The middle word and the one after it have together 7 letters.
"Even more remarkable are the numerics which fix the individual letters so that they cannot be changed. Hebrew is what is called a synthetic language, that is, the meaning to be expressed is indicated largely by the use of prefixes and suffixes. In some instances the changing of a prefix might completely reverse the meaning of the whole sentence. It is therefore most important that the first and last letters of the words should be protected against alteration. Now see how the numeric structure accomplishes this:
- 10. We saw just now that the sentence could be divided into equal parts having fourteen letters in each half. The numeric value of the first and last letters of the first half is 42, or 7 x 6.
- 11. The numeric value of the first and last letters of the second half is 91, or 7 x 13.
- 12. If the first and last letters of all the words are taken together, their numeric value is 1,292, or 7 x 199.
- 13. The numeric value of the first and last letters of the first and last words only is 497, or 7 x 71.
- 14. This number is so divided that if only the first letters are taken of the first and last words, these two letters have together a numeric value of 7. Similarly, the last letters of these two words have together a numeric value of 490, or 7 x 7 x 10.
- 15. Taking the first and last letters of the first word but one, and the last word but one, then their numeric values add up to 896, or 7 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
- 16. This number is peculiar in that it is seven multiplied by two seven times, and furthermore the sum of its factors is 21
"It is clear from these extraordinary phenomena that the prefixes and suffixes in this sentence could not possibly be altered without throwing the whole design into confusion. Not only this, but I defy anyone to construct another sentence which incorporates such an amazing set of numerics. I should never have believed that such a sentence could exist if it were not for the fact that it is there. The reader can verify for himself that the facts are exactly as I have stated them."
I told you Filmer was wonderful. The complete Creation of the universe accompanied by sixteen features of the number which symbolizes completeness. Supernatural.
What follows is that incomplete table of numbers and their Biblical meanings. I must disclaim, however, that these are the only meanings. I have come against some contradictions when looking up the meanings of some numbers. Don't take any of these numbers to the bank unless you've confirmed it with at least the "Adequate Witness" number, two.
Some examples from The Companion Bible:
FOUR - Denotes creative works, and always has reference to the material creation, as pertaining to the earth, and things "under the sun", and things terrestrial.
SEVEN - Denotes spiritual perfection. It is the hall-mark of the Holy Spirit's work. He is the Author of God's Word, and seven is stamped on it as the water mark is seen in the manufacture of paper. He is the Author and Giver of life; and seven is the number which regulates every period of Incubation and Gestation, in insects, birds, animals, and man.
EIGHT - Denotes resurrection, regeneration; a new beginning or commencement. The eighth is a new first. Hence the octave in music, color, days of the week. It is the number which has to do with the Lord, Who rose on the eighth, or new "first-day". This is, therefore, the Dominical number. By Gematria (the addition of the numerical value of the letters together) the Greek letters for Jesus makes the numbers 888. It, or its multiple is impressed on all that has to do with the Lord's Names, the Lord's People, and the Lord's works.

For further numeric study, I invite you to get any book by Bonnie Gaunt. Her work with Gematria is excellent. My favorite is "Beginnings".
For a different type of numeric study of the Bible, Ivan Panin is unsurpassed in discovering the numeric schemes of the Bible. This study has nothing to do with the letter values, like gematria, but demonstrates clearly God's hand in the writing of the Bible. Bible Numerics is a good place to start.
E. W. Bullinger has done some work with the numbers of the Bible; I only have his book "The Gospel in the Stars", so can't recommend him from personal experience. Sorry.

This webpage reproduces a section of Star Names Their Lore and Meaning by Richard Hinckley Allen as reprinted in the Dover edition, 1963 The text is in the public domain. This page has been carefully proofread and I believe it to be free of errors. If you find a mistake though, please let me know! [image ALT: a blank space] p335 Phoenix, the French Phénix, the German Phönix, and the Italian Fenice, is one of Bayer's new figures, between Eridanus and Grus, south of Fornax and Sculptor, — its α, κ, μ, β, ν, and γ in a line curving toward the south like that of a primitive Boat, by which figure, as Al Zauraḳ, the Arabs knew them. Al Sufi cited another name, — Al Ri᾽āl, the Young Ostriches, — which Hyde wrongly read Al Zibal, perhaps a synonymous title; and Kazwini used Al Sufi's term in describing some stars of Al Nahr, the River, in which our Phoenix was then included by Arabian astronomers. p336 Others changed the figure to that of a Griffin, or Eagle, so that the introduction of a Phoenix into modern astronomy was, in a measure, by adoption rather than by invention. But, whether Bayer knew it or not, his title is an appropriate one, for with various early nations — at all events, in China, Egypt, India, and Persia — this bird has been "an astronomical symbol of cyclic period," some versions of the well-known fable making its life coincident with the Great Year of the ancients beginning at noon of the day when the sun entered among the stars of Aries; and, in Egypt, with the Sothic Period when the sun and Sirius rose together on the 20th of July. Thompson further writes of this: A new Phoenix-period is said to have commenced A.D. 139, in the reign of Antoninus Pius; and a recrudescence of astronomical symbolism associated therewith is manifested on the coins of that Emperor. Coincidently, Ptolemy adopted as the epoch of his catalogue the year 138, the first of Antoninus. With the Egyptians, who knew this bird as Bennu and showed it on their coins, it was an emblem of immortality; indeed it generally has been such in pagan as well as in Christian times. In China the constellation was Ho Neaou, the Fire Bird, showing its derivation there from the Jesuits. Julius Schiller combined it with Grus in his Aaron the High Priest.
Richard Hinckley Allen:
Star Names — Their Lore and Meaning
Inevitably, though, in a work of such magnitude, and one that is now already over a hundred years old, there will be room for fault. The three principal shortcomings of the book are that it is not as systematic as the subject deserves, sometimes a downright jumble of ancient languages and afterthoughts and digressions and backtracking; that the astronomy predates Palomar and the Hubble telescope, radar and quasars, by decades and decades and is best taken lightly, as a window into the late 19c rather than into the stuff of the Universe; and, most seriously, that the sources are condensed, for the most part uncited, and — worst of all — trusted.

Planet X – The Ultimate Tribulation link(VIDEOS)http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/planet-x-threat-earth/
Many people know or suspect that some sort of “tribulation” is headed our way. Economic, social, political, international or geological, are some of the guesses. What I propose is one that encompasses all of them at the same time. This unprecedented combination makes the coming cataclysm “Unequalled in all of world history.”
The outer planets of our solar system, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, were each successively found by observing the perturbations (or gravitational deviations) of the next closest planet to the sun. That is to say, the existence of a yet unknown planet more remote than the deepest one from the sun presently known at any given point in history, was discovered by studying the unusual gravitational motions of the farthest known planet which indicated that at least one more planet was beyond it because its gravitational effects could be seen in the behavior of the next closest planet, even though the one farther away could not yet be seen. Saturn had deviations in its orbit indicating Uranus existed beyond it, even though it could not be seen for more than 150 years later. When Uranus was finally observed, its orbital path indicated that Neptune existed beyond it, though it too was not actually seen for many decades later. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, it too gave evidence that another, much larger body, was beyond it. About this time the term “Planet X” came to light to best describe this yet to be seen mysterious object at the edge of our solar system.
“If the owner of the house had known at what hour
the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
So you also must be ready,
for the End will come at an hour you do not expect.”
Luke 12:39-40

WEXFORD Project & tha outer space treaty
The Outer Space Treaty
MarkDorr
It sounds like something that Vulcans, Romulans, Earthlings and Klingons might sign in yet another incarnation of Star Trek, but it’s real.
There is an actual Outer Space Treaty.
One Day in 1963
The events of May, 1963 included the Rolling Stones signing up with Decca Records, Mickey Mantle hitting a ball into Yankee Stadium’s façade, Bob Dylan’s song “Blowin’ in the Wind” was released, hundreds of African Americans arrested in the protest in Birmingham, Alabama and the James Bond film “Dr. No” debuted in the United States.
But, something else happened that month that many people might not know. May 9, 1963 is the date of the successful launch of an unusual payload.
480 million copper needles.
More precisely they were tiny dipole antennas. Basically, think of the old “rabbit ears” antennas used on TVs.
Following an earlier launch attempt in 1961 that failed, this rocket flight carried the large batch of little needles to a medium earth orbit at an altitude between 3,500 miles and 3,800 miles above the Earth. Soon, a thin ring of metal encircled our world.
Project Westford
Ringing the Earth with millions of metal needles created something like an artificial ionosphere.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory ran Project Westford (or West Ford) to solve a major weakness in communications.
At that time, the two options available for international communication were to bounce radio signals off the ionosphere or send messages through undersea cables.
This concerned the military minds charged with keeping things safe during the Cold War. Cables can be cut, and the natural ionosphere is an unreliable partner.
The antennas cooperatively provided passive support to Project Westford’s parabolic dish in Westford, Massachusetts so that it could communicate with distant positions.
In other words, they bounced a signal to where it needed to go. And it worked, but not for long. Communication satellite technology was hitting its stride in 1963, and the rest is history.
This Caused a Stir
Still, though the people in charge chose to go with satellites, the band of metal around the Earth remained. This generated opposition from a variety of sectors.
The needles were so far apart that the belt could not be seen by the naked eye, but they could have obscured microwave and radio frequencies: cutting out a lot of research about the cosmos. Plus, well, there was a band of metal around the Earth, and some people and nations didn’t like that.
Various experts assured detractors that sunlight pressure would make the dipoles stay in orbit for about three years, but the international protest, in the end, caused a provision to be included in a document born of concerns with the earthly use of space.
The Outer Space Treaty
Five years after the successful launch of the Westford rocket, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union signed a treaty on “Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies”: the Outer Space Treaty.
Growing from concerns about how space was being used, including Westford, it is the document that is the basis for international space law. As of May, 2013, 102 countries have signed on. Others have signed it but not finalized ratification.
Included in the treaty are the agreements that:
Included in the treaty are the agreements that:
–> States cannot place weapons of mass destruction in orbit around the Earth, on the Moon, on another celestial body, or stationed in outer space.
–> Use of the Moon is only for peaceful purposes and not weapons testing, military maneuvers, or military bases.
–> The exploration of outer space shall be done for the benefit of all countries and be free for exploration and use by all states.
–> No government can claim a celestial resource like the Moon.
–> The nation that launches a space object retains control over that object and is liable for damages from it.
Article VI states that “the activities of non-governmental entities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty” and that States Parties shall be responsible for national space activities whether they are carried out by governmental or non-governmental entities.
And, as a direct result from the experience of the Westford Project, a consultation clause in Article IX was included:
“A State Party to the Treaty which has reason to believe that an activity or experiment planned by another State Party in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, would cause potentially harmful interference with activities in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, may request consultation concerning the activity or experiment.”
And, What Happened to Those Antennas?
Most of the Westford dipoles appear to have re-entered Earth’s atmosphere within seven years, floating down slowly all over the Earth’s surface, unscathed by re-entry because of their size.
Apparently, there was some thought of recovering some of the dipoles for research. Calculations indicated that as many as five of these antennas per square kilometer landed in the high Arctic. But, even at that, trying to find those few, teeny needles in that vast area were too much for even the most intrepid researcher, and no recovery seems to have been undertaken.
Some of the antennas remain in orbit to this day.

CZ-4C Launch - Taiyuan, 2013 July 19
When a CZ-4C rocket took of from Taiyuan carrying three satellites, the complex operation to release them from the launch vehicle was due to take place well away from Chinese territory so it needed the services of one of China's fleet of mobile tracking stations to ensure all went well. Yuan Wang 5 was despatched to the Indian Ocean to oversee the event.
Yuan Wang 5 left its base on the Yangtse river on May 30, and headed out onto the Pacific Ocean to support the Shenzhou 10 mission due for launch on June 11. It remained there until June 26 when the Shenzhou mission ended.
Yuan Wang 3 and Yuan Wang 6 had sailed out at the end of April, initially for the Chinasat 11 launch, then they too moved into position for Shenzhou 10. After Shenzhou 10 landed, Yuan Wang 5 turned south while the other two ships went home.
Port of Call
Yuan Wang 5 arrived off Jakarta, Indonesia on July 5 and entered port. There it took on supplies and the crew got some shore leave. On July 11 it headed once more to sea and passed through the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, taking it out into the Indian Ocean.
First Stop
By the early hours of July 15 it had reached a point near the rev 0 ground track of Shijian 11-05. The satellite was launched from Jiuquan at 09:27 UTC that day and Yuan Wang 5 observed it about fifteen minutes later, after it had entered sun-synchronous orbit. Yuan Wang 5 would have been able to confirm that the satellite had separated from its CZ-2C launch vehicle and opened its solar panels - events that happened out of view from the Chinese mainland.
Not all launches from China to polar orbit merit the expense of sending out a tracking ship because it involves nearly two months of sailing. Controllers are usually content to wait for a satellite to re-appear over China after completing its first circuit of the globe. Shijian 11-05 probably got the attention because Yuan Wang 5 had a more-pressing reason to be in the area. Observing Shijian 11-05 was a bonus.
Second Stop
After tracking Shijian 11-05, Yuan Wang 5 headed east but not at full speed because the destination was only a few hundred kilometres away and it had 3-4 days to cover the distance.
On July 18, a NOTAM appeared for an area of China south of the Taiyuan Space Centre indicating a launch was due July 19 at about 22:40 UTC. A few hours before the time indicated in the NOTAM Yuan Wang 5 settled itself about 1400 kilometres west of Australia, directly below the trajectory that would be taken by a launch from Taiyuan to sun-synchronous orbit.
July 19 - Taiyuan
A CZ-4C rocket was launched at 22:37:55 UTC carrying Shijian 15, Chuangxin 3 and Shiyan 7. The time is known precisely because Chinese TV showed images from the launch control room and it appears on the status display above the video screen. The timing is a little unusual as China tends to conduct launches by issuing the command for rocket ignition precisely on a full minute. First movement of the launch vehicle then occurs 3-5 seconds later when the correct thrust level has been reached. The time in this case suggests the ignition command was issued at 22:37:50 UTC.
The TV view of the launch control centre video screen also showed a list of mission events. Three of them are of interest. At the bottom of the list can be seen 1172 seconds, 1257 seconds and 1349 seconds. Logic says that they are the anticipated times for releasing the satellites from the launch vehicle, given as elapsed time after lift-off. As to the order in which the satellites were going to be released, the quality of the video does not allow reading of the names.
Putting together the launch time and the event times gives satellite separations at about one and a half minute intervals with 23:57:27 and 23:58:52 UTC on July 19 and 00:00:24 UTC on July 20.
The CZ-4C upper stage rose above Yuan Wang 5's northern horizon at about 23:53:45 UTC. By the time it was near the zenith, it had released all three satellites. The cluster of launch vehicle and satellites then set below Yuan Wang 5's southern horizon at around 00:07:40 UTC.
Where Next?
Yuan Wang 5 immediately sailed away on a heading to take it back to the Sunda Strait and the Pacific Ocean. Ships of the fleet tend to stay at sea for about one month before putting in to port for supplies so it may be mid-August before it docks again. In the Pacific area, Yuan Wang vessels have been seen at Suva (Fiji), Auckland (New Zealand) and Jakarta. Alternatively, it may call in at a southern Chinese port.
A sailing plan filed when it moved on from tracking the Shenzhou 10 mission indicated it will not return home until December 5. China has more launches in the pipeline this year but information about them is not as openly available as for previous years. Yuan Wang 5 will certainly be involved in the Chang'e 3 Moon launch, probably due in November. Tiangong 1 may be brought down from orbit for a destructive re-entry during October. Monitoring its last moments could be on Yuan Wang 5's schedule too.

Luna - Exploring the Moon

Scarborough, UK
2014 Sep 20 Saturday, Day 263 |
The race took on a new form during July 1969 - two technologies came head to head in competition. Even as Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were orbiting the Moon in Apollo 11, Luna 15 was heading for the surface in an attempt to be the first to bring back the first ever sample of lunar soil. In the event the spacecraft crashed as it tried to land. Even had Luna 15 succeeded, it would not have reached Earth again before the American vehicle, so the honour of carrying back the first lunar sample would still have been Apollo 11's.

Soviet Moon Images
Russian probes returned the first images of the Lunar far side and the first images from the Lunar surface. While a manned landing was never accomplished, the final phase of Soviet exploration included a number of impressive robotic missions, returning samples and roving the surface. (Click on images to see full-sized versions)Luna-3On October 7, 1959, Luna-3 returned the first images of the hidden side of the Moon. Using aphototelevision camera, pairs of images were simultaneously exposed through 200mm and 500mm lenses. The Luna-3 camera was developed by P.F. Bratslavets and I.A. Rosselevich at the Leningrad Scientific Research Institute of Television. The images were processed and analyzed by Iu.N. Lipskii and his team at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute.The camera held 40 frames of film, and 15 images (frames 26 to 40) were received via frequency-modulated analog video. Frames 39 and 40 may have contained calibration patterns. The full moon appears to have very little detailed texture, because the lunar mountains and terrain casts no shadows when lit from overhead. A special thanks to Dr. Vladislav Shevchenko at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute for making scans of the original film recordings for me. Blank frames indicate images that I do not have yet:

On February 3, 1966, Luna-9 became the first spacecraft to land on the Moon. On February 4 and 5, it transmitted 3 cycloramic panoramas from an optical-mechanical camera. The camera was developed by A.S. Selivanov and his team at the Institute of Space Device Engineering, and the results were analyzed at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute and by A.I. Lebedinskii at Moscow University. The images were transmitted as analog FM video signals at one stroke per second over a 250 Hz subcarrier (equivalent to 500 pixels/line).http://www.zarya.info/Diaries/Luna/Luna.php

Featured article: JSC-1
JSC-1, a lunar soil simulant, was developed and characterized under the auspices of the NASA Johnson Space Center. This simulant was produced in large quantities to satisfy the requirements of a variety of scientific and engineering investigations. JSC-1 is derived from volcanic ash of basaltic composition, which has been ground, sized, and placed into storage. The simulant's chemical composition, mineralogy, particle size distribution, specific gravity, angle of internal friction, and cohesion have been characterized and fall within the ranges of lunar mare soil samples. ...(read more)
