Pisces in the predawn sky, and more arguments that our Earth is NOT flat (it's a sphere)

It is a wonderful time of year to view Pisces before dawn, along with other constellations in the region of Pisces such as Pegasus (and the Great Square), Andromeda, Aquarius, and others in the area.

Further, Aldebaran is presently rising in the pre-dawn sky above the horizon in the east just prior to the sun (heliacal rising).

Above is a photo that I took this morning looking towards the ecliptic and the zodiac band, which means looking towards the north from my location in Australia:

If you look closely on a good screen with good resolution, you should be able to identify the Great Square, and from there you can trace the Fishes of Pisces.

Below is a screenshot taken from Stellarium of the same region of the sky, from an observation point in Victoria, Australia (where I am located and where the above photograph was also taken):

And below is the same photograph shown at the top, the one taken by me this morning, and this time I have labeled and drawn in the outlines of the constellations:

I hope these diagrams will help you to identify Pisces yourself. Note that Pisces is an extremely faint constellation and one of the most difficult of the zodiac to identify, in my experience. I suggest always starting with the Great Square when trying to find Pisces, then identifying the locations of Andromeda and Pegasus, and then looking for Pisces forming a "V" along the southern and eastern sides of the Square.

Note also that you will probably need a very dark sky in order to see Pisces, and if you are located in the northern hemisphere and Pisces is too close to the horizon, its stars are easily drowned out by any light pollution along the horizon.

Note also that the orientation of the constellations, being "upside down" for a viewer in the southern hemisphere relative to their orientation for a viewer in the northern hemisphere, is not easily explained at all by proponents of the misguided "flat earth" cult, and I have never even heard any attempted explanation for this phenomenon by any adherents of the flat earth cult. However, these observable phenomena are very easily explained by the fact that we live on a spherical planet. 

This is why I must look towards the north to see the zodiac constellations when I am in Australia, but must look towards the south to see the same constellations when I am in North America, and why the "northern" side of those constellations point "down" towards the horizon when I am in Australia (because the north celestial pole is "down below" the curve of the earth from here), but the northern side of those constellations point "up" towards the top of the sky when I am in North America (because the north celestial pole is up overhead when I am in the northern hemisphere, whereas the south celestial pole is down below the curve of the earth).

Again, these observations are all very easily explained by the fact that we live on a spherical planet, but I have never heard any flat earth proponent even attempt to explain them, no matter how many times I point out these facts on social media.

How the Narmer Palette totally DESTROYS Ancient History!

I've just published a brand-new video entitled "How the Narmer Palette totally DESTROYS Ancient History!"

The conventional accepted academic version of humanity's ancient past simply cannot stand up to the overwhelming evidence around the globe pointing to a comprehensive Star Myth system already existing and fully developed prior to the very earliest known civilizations -- including that of ancient Egypt.

The Narmer Palette is attributed to the reign of the first king of the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, King Narmer, who supposedly united Upper and Lower Egypt to start the first civilization out of a hazy pre-dynastic period of some unknown centuries or millennia, out of which suddenly a new civilization appears around 3200 BC, producing the beautiful workmanship of the Narmer Palette.

However, when we note that the symbology of the artwork on the Narmer Palette is undeniably celestial in its foundations -- as is the symbology in the artwork of other First Dynasty pharaohs including King Den (discussed in the video) -- insurmountable problems start to arise which, when considered carefully and fully understood, show beyond doubt that the conventional timeline of ancient history is flawed beyond repair and in need of radical revision.

As John Anthony West explained in his landmark 1979 book Serpent in the Sky, all the evidence points to the inevitable conclusion that ancient Egypt did not "develop" its incredible civilization, but rather inherited it. In addition to all the evidence that John Anthony West and other researchers have discussed to support that conclusion, the Star Myth evidence reveals beyond any doubt that the very first surviving tablet from the very first king of the First Dynasty already manifests celestial patterns which are also found in the ancient civilizations of India and of Central America -- as discussed in this video.

Please share this video with anyone you know from academia who still continue to uphold the untenable timeline of ancient history, and please "like" the video to help it gain traction so that YouTube will show it to more people who might be interested in this analysis.

And, as the video also shares, our upcoming Stars Over Egypt experience is approaching fast, this November! Join me as I point out celestial patterns in the actual artwork at the incredible sites of Egypt, and then also point out the constellations at night in the starry sky using a laser pointer, along with Kesenya from Guiding Star Astrology and Patricia Awyan Lehman from Horus Rising Khemitology.

I hope you can join us!

Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible and its teaching for your Life?

Above is a new video I've published entitled "Uncertain or Frustrated about the Bible?"

Do you feel frustrated or uncertain about the Bible and its teaching for your life?

If you do, I've been there! 

I was committed to a literalist approach to the Bible for twenty years of my adult life. I was looking to the Bible not so much out of any fear of hell but rather because I was searching for personal transformation --

trying to change aspects of my own behavior and know the right path to take in my life -- and what was so frustrating was that no matter how hard I tried (using a literalistic approach), it wasn't working.

Religions based on literalistic approaches to the Bible (or literalistic approaches to other ancient myths and scriptures and sacred stories) promise transformation and guidance, but if they are based on a wrong approach to those ancient sources, they often invert the message entirely and can very easily cause more harm than good.

Following the wrong interpretation can really tear you up inside. The Reverend Charles Haddon Sturgeon (1834 - 1892) was one of the most well-known and popular preachers and advocates of the literal interpretation of the Bible and remains very influential within literalist Christianity to this day. But he was plagued with terrible bouts of depression throughout his life. This is not disputed by literalist Christians -- a 2018 biography of his wife Susannah written by an American Christian pastor says of Susannah: "At times she found him weeping though he didn't know why, his depressions could be so dark."

Religions that promise moral guidance and personal transformation without being able to deliver can be seen as practicing a kind of Religious Abuse.

If we are reading the Bible the wrong way, it simply stands to reason that we are likely to get the wrong message.

For the past fifteen years, after approaching the Bible literally for the previous twenty years of my adult life, I have been pursuing a different approach. And I am sharing that approach in an upcoming free zoom seminar entitled Self-Defense against Religious Bullying and Religious Abuse on June 22nd at 5pm Eastern time (USA). 

If you are not familiar with my work, my approach will probably be unlike anything you have ever heard before -- but it is backed by enormous amounts of evidence and years of research, and I will be sharing some of that evidence during this live zoom seminar.

If you or someone you know has been exposed to Religious Bullying or Abuse, or if you simply want to have confidence instead of uncertainty and frustration when it comes to the Bible and its message, I encourage you to join me or to tell your friend or loved one about this free zoom seminar.

How to Confidently Defend against Religious Bullying!

Have you ever been the victim of Religious Bullying or Religious Abuse?

Do you know someone who has?

Gain complete confidence when encountering Religious Bullying or Abuse: proof that the Bible is based on the stars, in common with other ancient myths and sacred stories, and that literalist interpretations of Bible texts are wrong. 

This knowledge, once understood, is yours forever and points the way towards healing Religious Wounds and defeating Religious Bullying and Abuse.

Join me, David Mathisen, on 22 June 2024 for a free Self-Defense against Religious Bullying live zoom seminar, which will take place at:

5pm Eastern Time (USA), which is the same as 2pm Pacific Time (USA), which is the same as 7am Sydney/Melbourne Time (Australia: note it will be 23 June in Australia)!

This live Self-Defense against Religious Bullying seminar will last approximately (exactly) two hours.

Orphic Hymns to Invoke the ancient gods in You

Here is another recent video that I published to YouTube, entitled "Orphic Hymns to Invoke the Ancient Gods in You."

This video builds on some of the concepts explored in the previous one, entitled "Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life," including the assertion that the realm of the gods is not separate from us -- and in fact is also within us.

Ancient cultures passed down practices for invoking the gods in you and me, as I discuss in my most-recent book, Invoking the Ancient Gods in You.

From the culture of ancient Greece, the Orphic Hymns have survived as an extremely helpful -- and extremely beneficial -- example of the practices used in ancient cultures to invoke the gods.

This video explores the aspects of the god Ares in us, and what we can learn from the ancient Orphic Hymn to Ares.

Please share with those for whom this information would be helpful in some way!

Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life

Above is a video I published recently entitled "Star Myths, the Duat, and this Life."

It explores the question, which I am frequently asked, "Why do the Star Myths from cultures around the world use the Stars as their foundation?"

I'm convinced one reason is that they are dramatizing for our understanding the reality of the Duat, the Infinite and the Eternal, the "pure potential" from which the manifest unfolds and which is not separate from us but always present.

The ancient wisdom given to all cultures helps us to live in accordance with this uncreated undifferentiated Duat (a term from ancient Egypt -- other cultures describe it with different language but pointing to the same concept), both on an individual level and on an societal level.

Ignoring the teaching of the ancient wisdom, or deliberately trying to turn it on its head, only ends in frustration and disaster.

Please share as appropriate with those who would find this message to be positive in some way!

Photos from the Eclipse at the Canyons extravaganza!

The podcast teams of the Brothers of the Serpent and the Grimerica Show organized a fantastic weekend-long festival in Utopia, Texas called Eclipse at the Canyon to celebrate and experience the Total Solar Eclipse of 08 April 2024.

We heard eye-opening presentations and soul-enriching music from a tremendous lineup of artists and speakers, plus two nights of stand-up comedy!

The Eclipse itself was unforgettable -- made even more so by the fact that the sky was stubbornly clouded-over during the hours leading up to the big moment (see image below):

In conjunction with our collective intentions, the sky opened up for us to see the Total Eclipse in all its glory -- just as had happened previously on a different Canyons event at Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah, when the sky opened up long enough for us to see all the constellations in all directions, before clouding back over.

Below are a few photos from this year's Eclipse at the Canyon -- Special thanks to hosts David and Laura K for having us all over to their fantastic homestead and venue, and looking forward to more events in Utopia in the years ahead!
