There is a history of poor vision in my family. I think about this like an inconjunction. If you imagine turning 150 degrees to either direction from a focal point, that is the area humans usually have a hard time seeing from the starting point. What if that kind of blindness was present all the time? What if you had to really focus in order to see anything?

In places along the north pole, the sun shines so strongly during its season that being outside becomes dangerous without special care. What if my ancestors from the north had to focus so hard for so long in order to see during that season and survive that their kids were taught to adjust their eyes permanently before they turned 5 years old? And when their kids left to find a better place to live in the following decades, they could not adjust their eyes even in dark places? This is the kind of situation I have to think about when coming to a better understanding of my sight related problems.

Look at the antiscia and contra-antiscia points on the picture above. If you were a planet traveling along the orbit shown, the contra-antisciapoints are like the 150 degree angle blindness. We can't see them because they are not natural for us to see from that place. But as the planet moves along its orbit, the blindspots will move too. This means there is a way to compensate for each spot since we always know it will be there.

Consider this issue from a moral standpoint. If I know I usually act unkind to a certain person at one moment, then my perspective changes, maybe without my noticing, and another person becomes my scapegoat, then I have made the same mistake twice. But if I know that someone is always going to be in my moral blindspot, I also know that I am likely to pick the person who is least like myself in appearance. If I am a little insensitive to one group of people, and I stop paying attention to them for a while, then I forget that I have to be careful when I see them again. I might do something unkind without any real reason. So much is the same for a planet moving on its orbit towards a point it cannot perceive. Without perspective, we are both in the dark.

Here is a picture of NASA Spacecraft Juno orbiting Jupiter



Eventually Juno's path modulates quite a bit because Jupiter has a bulge at its equator. The trail of the path spirals downwards.



What if we measure the distance between Juno and Jupiter at a random point along its path to find out where those blind spots would be? Perhaps we could make a figure like this.



The white circle represents Juno's position. x in the triangle represents Spacecraft Juno's distance to Jupiter along a straight horizontal line. The x should be below the yellow base of the triangle. y represents the distance from the farthest point from the line described above to the spacecraft. In order to find the shortest distance from it to Jupiter, The Pythagorean Theorem can be used - x^2 + y^2 = shortest distance^2

To find the blind spots NASA must consider in piloting or automating their spacecraft we can calculate the approximate angle from Juno to the Contra Antiscia point, about 30 degrees less than 180 degrees from Juno's current position. As the orbit spirals down, this point will move with it in a more or less predictable fashion.

The shortest distance from Juno to Jupiter is equivalent to the square root of the tangent of y^2 divided by x^2

or

Hypotenuse = √(tan(y²÷x²))

Using this number, we can calculate the distance between Juno and that blind spot using a proportion.

Hypotenuse over the angle between x and the hypotenuse = distance to the blind spot over the angle between Jupiter and The Contra Antiscia point. In other words, Juno is as far away from its blind spot as it is far away from the opposite point on its orbit to where it is now minus about 30 degrees. This 30 degrees is the same thing as however much time it takes for the spacecraft to travel one twelfth of its entire orbit. It takes 53 days for Juno to do that, so 53 divided by 12 equals 4.4 days. One half of 53 is 26.5. 26.5 - 4.4 = 22.1 days until Juno reaches the place where it could not "see" at the point marked above. If the calculations you made 22.1 days ago are no longer valid, your spacecraft will be in jeopardy. The constant threat of interference from unpredictable or unknown sources somewhere out there will always make this danger more severe.

To counteract this threat a programmer must correct for this spot often enough so that they can alter the spacecraft's course within a few days of possible collision. In order for this alteration to be possible, they must have a separate system onboard to create a large enough disturbance in the regular orbit to get out of the way. If I cannot reasonably alter my path of action before something in my blind spot hits me, I will be hit and my day may go terribly wrong.

The only way for a human being to move beyond the regular course of their daily habits is to peek out from that course whenever a problem seems to pop up in our their emotional "radar". Everyone has felt something wrong without seeing it, but not everyone acts when they feel this, which is why things can get so out of control. The only way to remind yourself to act when something small but real feels like it is going wrong is to always be a little off. It is good to take yourself away from normal boring life - unclean mental chatter is a serious problem in our time. Recite a mantra for fifteen minutes, put away your favorite things and think instead about how the world would work if Jesus Christ had been a snow pea. Anything to shake up an otherwise monotonous day - a blind spot.

This is very difficult to teach to people. Nobody wants to change what works. They want to keep doing it as long as they can. But when something goes wrong and they can no longer do it, they might as well be lost in a foreign sea. The only way to get out of there is to swim until you find a shoreline. But where would a shoreline be? You might swim with the tide, or float along with whatever direction you can manage, but you can't swim against the current. That would be an active denial of the facts at hand. You would die.

How do we teach people that happiness comes from a healthy balance of body and mind? Modern patterns of language usage and cultural triggers have made this nearly impossible. We have to create a new culture that sustains itself on the subsistence of the individual,  not from tyrannical rulers whose ancestors have been in control for a thousand years. We are not completely aware that this is going on, but we are making it happen because somehow we know we have to. We know something is wrong and we know that change is healthy, but we are not familiar with the methods of magic and theurgy that was used in primitive religious tribes before Christ which kept them alive when floods, famines and droughts came to their doorstep.

To re-familiarize the largest, walmart and mcdonalds-loving part of society with this truth, is to disturb them with the fact that their lives are truly going so far wrong that there will be no chance to survive when a real crisis comes. Aggression is impetus for change. Without it, they continue to sleep in what will be the deathbed of their culture.

In any case, ignorant people will not survive a cataclysm of planetary proportions and we would not ask God to save them from a future they cannot live in. But if we change just a few simple minds to seeing that right now, their futures are not all that bright, a great spiritual battle will be won - that is the maturation of the babies currently running rampant over this planet. They do have some latent ability, waiting to be recognized, that will be needed in the culture to come. Their appreciation for family bonds and self-respect (currently in the mode of self-destructive pride) is a basic human instinct and everyone will need it no matter what happens. To evolve the darker parts of these souls a simple game can be made to distract them from their own unacknowledged self-hatred and attract them to a gradual realization of the truth that there really is a god out there that loves them and will take care of them as described in their holy bible if they respect him.

Hopefully, they will transform that him into a her at some point, and respect the fact that the source of their current genetic makeup was derived from the animal and terrestrial worlds which they now pollute. I don't think it will take much brain-storming to create this game of reawakening these ignorant minds who are bringing on an apocalypse to this otherwise beautiful world. It only needs to show them in a veiled way that what they are doing is suicidal and provide an easy answer - that freedom from this death is as easy as respecting your archetypal mother. Then, they will not kill the earth.

Here is a view of one of Asteroid Chariklo's positions on its orbit in the distant future.



See how it rotates about its axis between Saturn and Uranus. To capture this change, the NASA technology that made this image used vertical lines to indicate another dimension of space not indicated in the other planets' orbits, at least as they are shown in this picture. What if Chariklo's orbit was not circular, but elliptical, like this.


from sciencefocus.com/

Chariklo is currently in front of the constellation capricorn from our view on the earth, and right now it is below the earth, a little to the east. If Chariklo's position on its elliptical orbit around the sun is invisible to us right now, the position opposite to it is visible to us above the meridian and a little to the west. That puts us near the beginning of Cancer without considering wobble. In order to calculate Chariklo's blind spot we could add or subtract 30 degrees to this position. I will subtract here since addition will put us closer to the bright sun, which would get in our way if we tried to look at this spot. This puts us in the beginning of Gemini. As luck would have it, this is the moon's apogee, the place where the moon is farthest from the earth in its orbit, called Black Moon Lilith, or the hole in the Moon's orbit. It also falls in the part of the sky where the sun's rays become most intense for us. If Chariklo's blind spot is visible to us where this intense Lilith is, Chariklo might appear to be in a heap of trouble. It can't see that it is going into to a gruesome hole.

This, of course, is not really true. Lilith is only a character in an old myth and the sun's rays around 4 or 5 pm have nothing to do with the orbit of a distant asteroid between Saturn and Uranus. But I used to think this was true. It's easy for amateur astronomers to get lost in the ocean of information out there, and when you are starting to learn about a new subject, the urge to combine irrelevant information is strong. If you want to understand extra-terrestrial physics, you have to be willing to cope with the fact that there is a vast ignorance of the basic concepts of this science at this time, and falling into the hole of doing too much at once means doing nothing at all.

Another good way to visualize planetary motion is to think about it in terms more familiar to us as earthbound folk. We see birds every year, and they have their own patterns of movement too.


Cornell

This large-scale pattern is like the image we see when we look up at the night sky and see the stars over our heads.



The stars appear to migrate like birds because the earth is spinning, and they return to the "habitat" where they once were every year from our perspective.

If we want to understand how planets move without falling into the trap (blind spot!) of our limited perspective as earthlings, we have to think about how those movements appear to an entity the size of the earth.



Mercury's orbit is highly eccentric. It finds a new path to travel on much more often than, say, Jupiter. But if Jupiter is moving along in a "normal" orbit, we as humans sill see it as a dot moving up and down over a long period of time, if we have the patience and memory to remember where it is / was. In order to compensate for this "blindness" or limitation, we must create an imaginary model of what Jupiter's path probably looks like from above.


earthsky.org

Now we are looking at Jupiter with the Sun as the center of our astral perspective or eyes. While it is impossible for us to see this perspective on earth, or considering our size, it is possible to consider the possibilities as to what those astral eyes would want us to see if they cared.

We go to sleep at night and dream about what the sun sees or what it would look like if we were the size of the sun. This is how fantasy writers make their living. But scientists want to look at the consequences of these dream-contents. Like Freud, they believe that the unknown, the unconscious, has important messages to be puzzled out through technical means of interpretation and left-brain thinking. The combination of right and left brain activity, dream and logic, is what gives us an idea as to what we might expect to see in the future. A man who dreams about Penguins might go to Antarctica. A planet that appears to reverse its path might be passing by the earth. But the only way to know for sure is to find out for yourself. Will you let the ape of god crush your chances for a new promotion by harassing the new girl? Will the scientist's dream of fame be lost to alcoholism? One way to protect against a resurgence of uncivilized behavior is to project it into your dreams. Dreams have no consequence on work life by themselves, and if you can put up with some uncomfortable thoughts at night, maybe you can make it to where you want to get during the day. After all, it is just entropy. And entropy, chaos, is the father of wisdom.

What if we look at the geometry between stars? If you draw a line between Vega and Sirius, you will have connected two stars outside the zodiac which are considered to be in opposition.

On the map below, Vega is between Hercules and Cygnus The Swan on The Upper Left Side and Sirius is between Lepus The Rabbit and Puppis The Ship of Jason on The Lower Right.


Vega is the vulture descending on its prey in western mythology and sirius is the dog previously worshipped as Nu Isis by The Egyptians in the 3rd century BC. If we put these two characters together we get the vulture preying upon the sacred virgin in the underworld, another way of saying the fertility of summer is taken away by the cold bitterness of winter. Vega is above Capricorn, the constellation where the sun passes in front of around Mid-January in the west and Sirius is below Cancer, where the sun passes in front of during Mid-August. The line we imagined connects these two time periods of the year to create a logic for the religious beliefs and emotional patterns of an ancient culture. But many people still experience this phenomena today. There are two extremes in the year when crops fail or fluorish and people survive or not.

Perhaps the Egyptians had a strong connection with the stars because they lived in a desert. They had nothing to look forward to without the summer rains of Isis to water their fields of needed crops. Modern civilization has taken this extreme condition away from us. The lower and middle classes of civilized societies are taken care of by conglomerates of land owners and bankers who invest in and provide for their servile class. This dichotomy is not new. Ignorance and poverty will always strip humanity of its opportunity for spiritual growth if we do not elect a ruler who has a sense of human decency.

People naturally look up at the shining brilliance of the stars and planets at night after they have accomplished their daily regimens. The unknown makes them fall asleep and dream pleasant dreams of a world that accepts them for who they are and what they wish to become. But no president would stand up for the right of a poor man to become rich because it would be a threat to his own well-being. Every individual, no matter how modest, is quickly transformed by wealth and opportunity once it is realized. War is not a means towards gaining the throne, but preventing someone else from enjoying it. If all people want to do is stop each other from imbibing the nectar of heavenly kingship, one must not be too careful in bringing about revolution.

Marie Antoinette was guilty of corruption, but more importantly she was guilty of being ignorant of the importance of her position in the context of her country's political predicament. Everyone likes cake, but not everyone can afford it. Might Marie (god forbid we call her Isis now) have forgotten about her duties given her lavish surroundings? Obviously, but she was not forgiven by her people because she did not do the right thing at the right time. Lady Justice's dessert booth must have been quite sulpherous to Marie on October 16th, 1793.

But were it not for the "vulture" (read guillotine) descending upon her neck, there would be no democracy in France today. Nations around the world would have had no one to look up to and no one to blame for the despicable inhumanity that comes with revolution. No judge on earth would forgive the people of france for doing what they did on that day, but no one would have acted differently if they had the same chance. It's only nature making her way through the desert of the soul. Blood must be shed on a schedule for the fertility of the earth, no matter how corrupt your queen is. No rain, no food. No devil, no god. It's all the same. The simplicity of this truth devours the self-proclaimed innocence of the tyrant, self unknower, like a lion eats a baby left alone in the woods. There was no reason for Set to spare Osiris in the land of the living. His time had come and no cake would save him no matter how delicious and chocolatey. When you see Set as the vulture rising in the night sky as Winter takes the life out of the virgin earth in winter, send up a little prayer for all the souls lost to needless, inhuman ignorance and you, in turn, will be supported by their unrealized strength at that time when you need it most. This is the rain which all your future harvests depend on.

To complicate things yet further, the Sun is moving on its own orbit towards a black hole at the center of The Milky Way.


Nasa

As its orbit moves away from its current path, The Sun orients itself towards the aforementioned Vulture Star.


DeMeo

If Tyranny really is blowing us out of control, perhaps A Momentary Lapse of A Lapse of Reason would help us to remember where we came from.



magneticnature


Vatican Museums

What would cause someone to forget their mother? A bad day dream?



If the Religious Right is sitting around all day waiting for their Jesus to come pick them up from School, all it takes is someone to bop them on the head to wake them up from their day dream.
