"Seth" means "compensation," or amends for the errors of Adam, and "Noah"means "rest," or a cessation of Lunar waywardness. This Lunar force was afterwards called "Sin"by the Chaldean Astronomers, who it seems undertook to build a tower to Heaven, with nothing in mind but the Sunship side of Astrology - or, as Biblically stated, with "one tongue,"or one understanding.

This was the opposite extreme from the Adamlc error, and did not last Controversies began over the Lunar and the Solar ideas of right and wrong termed "confusion of tongues,"and dissensions and separations into classes and schools began, mythically represented as a building of the Tower of Babel.

Generations later Abram was born and became noted in the line of Astrologic history. He took sides with neither school, but advocated harmony (see Gen. xiii, 9). The science of Astronomy was cultivated by the immediate descendants of Adam.

Josephus informs us that the sons of Seth employed themselves in the study of Astronomy, and that they wrote their observations upon two pillars, one of brick and the other of. stone, in order to preserve them against the destruction which Adam had foretold should come upon the Earth. Was not this Astrology?

He also relates that Abraham argued the unity and power of God, from the orderly course of things, both at sea and land, in their times and seasons and from his observations upon the motions and influences of the Sun. Moon and Stars; and that he read is tures in Astronomy and Mathematics to the Egyptians, of which they undeistood nothing till Abraham brought these sciences from Chaldee to Egypt; from whence they passed to the Greeks.

Berosus also observes that "Abraham was a great and just man, and famous for his celestial observations; the making of which was thought to be so necessary to the human welfare."

Astronomy and Astrology were then one and the same thing.

If Astrology is but an "ancient, foolish superstition/' is it not strange that at a time when we are taught to believe that God talked so familiarly with man, that He did not persuade Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Jesus and John to give up such foolishness. Why did He leave the world until 300 years ago to discover this foolishness, when Galileo and the priests became involved in Astrologic rivalry over Heleocantric and Geocentric measurements from opposite ends of polarity. We should not forget that the "dark ages"were since the beginning of and not prior to the Christian era.

The long and the short of this whole Biblical story is that man was created male and female and put inside of a vegetable and a mineral body. The true nature of man was "to think," or to exercise the imaginatory or creative functions of the Universe, which is God. This thinking power is centralized in the Sun, and individual man is a personal thinking machine, or a Sunship of the Universe. The animal or instinctive functions of Earth are centred in the Moon, a secondary or objective power of thought, which is nothing of itself, but inert matter, illumined by the Sun, and is first created as a new Moon in the form of a "rib." She waxes strong ani'd follows a serpentine path through the Zodiac, or animal forces of elementary life in the ambient, crossing the Sun's path at the Dragon's head in her elevation, and at the Dragon's tail in her fall. "As in Heaven so in Earth." These forces of nature in generic man, are Biblically personified as Adam and Eve, as a kindergarten story for those whose minds are on the animal or sentient plane.

To those whose minds are illumined these forces in Earth are seen to work and evolve and progress from the

Adamic condition of puerile infancy, to a unified condition of power known as Israel After man possessed this knowledge the self-same story of Nature's forces are worked over in Biblical stories with progressed modifications, with Astronomical, Astrological and Historical truths blended and interblended according to the knowledge and genius of the writer. The writers are of course testifying to the word of God, written in the Heavens by the inspirations of the Stellar or Celestial forces as operating upon them at the time. These forces are Astrologically termed "Lord and Master," or God, which signifies "strength."

The stories are most excellent of themselves; they are condensed embodiments of truths such as have since been elaborated by Dante, Darwin, John Bunyan, and a host of others, but the popular understanding of them has been vague, contradictory and fiendishly inhuman, on the priestly plan of secrecy. Not only has woman for ages been robbed of her rights as "man,"by the Adamic story, but the world has again and again been deluged in blood in the one contention as to which is better for man, the Solar or the Lunar metaphysics of life.

Man and woman are "help meets"to each other, polarities, not helpmates, for the Solar force is primary and the Lunar secondary. They meet on the mesial or middle line of life, as represented by Aries and Libra, the "lamb and the scales." These are the open and the sealed book in one vessel, or man and woman in union at the centre of the cross, formed by the horizon and the meridians at the equinoxes.

This Adamic story is again but the story of human life from cradle to grave, or, as Shakespeare illustrated it in his "Seven Ages of Man." The child is born with positive and negative forces - male and female - within itself. The positive force the Sun. The negative force the Moon. The first inhabiting a form of clay, or Adamantine dust, is the vital spark, or soul, of a new born babe. Too young to comprehend himself the sentient or animal forces are its first impressions, its early life comparing with Adam in his "deep sleep,"or sleep of the

Sunship estate, in which objective life extends first into sensual observations, and wilderness of perplexed thought. The life of a child progresses in the order of Zodiacal signs, just as the world progresses in dispensations by precession of the. equinoxes.
