Dr John Dee's astrological hieroglyph

Dee's mission, said the historian, was to find a unifying principle, a theory of everything which united ideas of Arabic algebra - infusing into Europe from the Muslim conquest of Spain - as well as astrology, mysticism and the wisdom of ancient traditions being unearthed by Renaissance scholars.
His belief was that a universal language could be found, the language of God and the builders of the Tower of Babel, "a language that would embody the truth of the Universe", Mr Woolley said.
He designed a hieroglyph, the Monas Hieroglyphica, which embodied this unifying principle - the astrological symbols united in one form.

Fascinating, gnostic. I have something to think over. That is, Dee's place in the 2012 world ritual and the meaning behind the idea of unification on the world stage.

Thank you.

WHOA Kelley!!! Thanks for stating that ... I had moments ago come across a picture I took of a symbol I thought was similar to the monas and then read your response, googled it, and VOILA! ... you named the symbol I was trying to identify:

Image

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstürzende_Neubauten[/url]

Image
Main article: Einstürzende Neubauten logo

The band logo, based from a Toltec petroglyph cave drawing.The Einstürzende Neubauten's logo can be described as a human symbol with two arms, two legs (one much shorter than another), thin body and big round head with a circle in its middle. It was not created by or for the band, but is a cave drawing of probably Toltec origin.

For the record, if you actually encounter one of these things, don't move at all and don't try to understand what you're seeing. I wouldn't call them malevolent but they're definitely not particularly interested, either.

No, those are hallucinations. Whatever John Dee was up to, it wasn't a taxonomy of hallucinations.

Why aren't the press interviewing Dr. Dee himself about this?

I'm not really familiar with Dee's monas material so perhaps you or someone versed in it can address Jim Egan's theories about that famous text being an encoding for the building of a ... Camera Obscura / Horologium:

I think that's a bit like saying the mathematical insights of Flatland were just there to encode a children's book. I think Egan is both stretching and mistaking Optimus Prime for a big red truck, you know? Monas is part of, and coherent with, a larger body of work, much of which is equally byzantine shit.

The "hallucinations" line was written with this James Kent piece in mind: http://tripzine.com/pit/chapters/The%20 ... Action.htm

His case is compelling but not, of course, conclusive. Still, I am impressed by the fact that regardless of the "entity" status of what people see under the effects of dreamtime, we have a documented history where multiple people on no drugs whatsoever encounter equally miraculous "entity"-like phenomena in the flesh. Tulpas or trans-dimensional whatever, that's still a whole different level of Otherness.

You know, to me.

I don't follow ... and I just hallucinated that after a certain point in the text on that link you gave the english went all chinese on me... for the entire remaining page...


The Validation Argument

1. If we are to throw out all the arguments posed so far and concede for a moment that psychedelics offer some access to the wisdom of the spirits, there are still a few problems. In order to prove the autonomy of the spirits encountered on a psychedelic trip, various tests have been proposed to see if new information can be gleaned in the spirit dimension.

... then I reloaded and it was fine.

Well anyway ... lots of homework for me to do on this topic.
