Thank you for this. I’m deeply sympathetic to all dedicated antiquarians. Been interested in ancient calendars, ancient metrology, and ancient astronomy for a long time. My library was once vast and varied. There remain many resources for deep exploration of how and what our ancestors thought of our place in the cosmos which to some degree point out that we moderns are the ignorant savages mired in superstition. It’s all in common use but goes unrecognized, like the names of our days for instance. I’m firmly convinced, after a long and deeply curious life of inquiry that our world truly is the “center” of the universe, regardless of Jupiters many moons, and humanity is and always was the “reason” for the entirety of creation. It’s all necessary for us to have been possible. We are the crown of creation. Our struggle for discernment and ultimate understanding is, in my humble opinion the whole point. Cynics might say we’re the punchline of the cosmic joke, but personally I consider our creator, (the maker of heaven and earth and all things visible and invisible to quote the creed) is foremost omnibenevolent, as well as omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He’s also ineffable. We can’t even hope for more than a hint. We can’t handle the Truth. Faith is far superior to knowledge.
Thanks fren.
I've personally found that knowing trumps faith and belief.
It's entirely possible to KNOW many things experientially.
While I don't subscribe to everything he puts out there, Tom Campbell, author of My Big TOE (TOE = Theory of Everything) certainly has some very good pointings regarding this realm and your individual point of consciousness...
Let me name drop just a little; John Michell, Livio Stecchini, John Martineau, Robin Heath, etc. etc. There’s a lot of chaff hiding the kernels of wheat in all those books, but the wheat is there. Make good bread of it. They all refer back to Plato and his “World Soul” and the number 5040. (Has its own Wikipedia page, lol). I also get a huge kick out of the Antikithera clockwork computer, and recreations of ancient automata, but suffice it to say humans haven’t gotten smarter over the centuries. Not to even mention Barabar and other anomalous ancient architecture.
Still, I’m most impressed by John 21:11 which according to my current understanding refers to the number 156, the 17th triangular number, which is a reference to Archimedes proofs of π. It means, to me anyway, that Jesus tells the apostles to ignore the Pharisees and Saducees, and convert the Helenics, who would likely have read Archimedes btw, because the Greeks had “natural wisdom” which would be contained by the Gospel without tearing it. Paul went to Athens straight away. See Pseudo Dionysius for what happened there.
Many blessings to you TaQo, and a warm and happy Nativity Feast to you and yours.
Thanks fren. I don't know the peeps you mentioned so I'll have to dig.
Merry Christmas... whether you celebrate it or not, the day still arrives. May it be merry!

I was in church for the Feast of the Nativity this morning. So, yes indeed. And may you and yours enjoy many many years of many many blessings.
Look up the “New Jerusalem Diagram” from John Michell. I was all up in that “sacred geometry” stuff before converting. Also you may find Stan Tenen’s work on the Hebrew alphabet interesting especially his “3:10 Torus Knot” treatise.
I have come to regard all this as a potential distraction, and am trying to stop being a Mr. Smartypants, but those inquiries led me inevitably toward Orthodoxy so they were of inestimable value to me. May your own curiosity result in your finding Truth himself. If it hasn’t already…. God Bless.
