This second presentation, Part One B, takes us up to chapter 3:18. This completes the letters to the angels and sums up their content. After this, if you are still interested, you will need to look at Part Two. Part Two deals with the introduction of the New Kings which, according to this interpretation, began with the discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781.
And I am wrong about copper being an alloy of brass and zinc aren't I? What I mean is brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Silly me.

Revelation (Part One B)
1. REVELATION
PART ONE B
Part One A introduced the first
three letters to the angels.
Part One B offers an
interpretation of the final four.
These seven letters show us
how we get things wrong but
also how to put things right. I
hope you will recognise that
the wisdom they contain is
worth taking to heart.
2. 4
Now we are looking at the fourth
angel … the lovely Venus.
I wonder what Venus gets wrong?
Perhaps you can guess?
3. Is this a clue?
WIKI.
The noun form venus means "love" and "sexual
desire" in Latin, and has connections to venerari (to
honour, to try to please) and venia (grace, favour)
through a possible common root in an Indo-European
*wenes-, comparable to Sanskrit vanas- "lust, desire".23
Venus' name might embody the function of honours and
gifts to the divine when seeking their favours: such acts
can be interpreted as the enticement, seduction or charm
of gods by mortals. The ambivalence of this function is
suggested in the etymological relationship of the root
*venes- with Latin venenum (poison, venom), in the
sense of "a charm, magic philtre".
4. And if you are insecure about John calling stars ‘angels’ here
is Babylonian Ishtar who the Sumerians called Innana and who
we now know as Venus.
She look just like an angel to me!
Ishtar/Venus
This is Enki – I
am pointing him out
to you merely
because I like him.
5. And here she is in all her Bottichellian Beauty. She is All New in this
picture as she has just been born. (It’s a shocking story - see next slide).
6. The myth relates that when Saturn cut off
his dad, Uranus’s, genitals … oooouch …
they fell into the sea and … aaahhhh … Venus
was the result. I suppose, if we think of the
sea as a great womb and Uranus as the
amazing creative energy of the moment that
allows things to happen (which it is), we
shouldn’t be surprised.
Uranus is Air and Venus is air, but Venus
is Air with a touch of fire.
What does air do to fire???? Think
Bellows. Yep – it causes a conflagration ….
Perhaps this is why she’s in for some
flack from our friend Alpha and Omega.
7. VENUS ruler of Libra,
complementary partner to the
sensual sign Taurus.
2:18 And unto the angel of
the church in Thyatira
write; These things saith
the Son of God, who hath
his eyes like unto a flame
of fire, and his feet are like
fine brass; ..
d
TAURUS -
LIBRA +
Venus’s metal is copper. Copper is an alloy of brass and zinc.
9. 2:19 I know thy works and love
and faithfulness, ..
2:20 I have a few things against
you because thou tolerate Jezebel, ….
to teach and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication …
In the letter to the angel of the church in
Thyatira, Venus is praised for her love and
faithfulness, but told off for tolerating
Jezebel, that well known teacher of he arts of
seduction .. luring the son of Man's servants
to sexual excess.
This really does sound like erotic Libran
Venus egged on by sensual Taurus Venus –
Geoffrey Chaucer’s Wife of Bath:
Born under Taurus and with Mars therein,
Alas, alas, that ever love were sin.
10. … and to eat food sacrificed
to idols ...
The cult of romance teaches us
that ordinary people are not
enough, that we must seek a
god or goddess, a Hollywood
star, a dream-woman or dreamman, a beauty queen: ..
Romantic love, true to its
paradoxical nature, fools us: .. It
is difficult to see the difference
..between relating to a human
person and using that person
as a vehicle for one's
projections.’ Robert A. Johnson.
The Psychology of Romantic Love.
So, this is what
idols are about.
11. The famous MIRROR of Venus
Hitler had Libra rising so his ruling planet was Venus. Venus was squared
Saturn in the tenth house on his birth chart (Saturn’s house ruled here by Leo).
This gave him a need to see his Venusian projections crystallised in reality.
13. I felt sorry for Hitler. I wouldn’t like to be him. I was on a long train
journey and needed something to do so I gave him a happier childhood
but I couldn’t make him smile. Life can be mean.
14. So what does
Revelation tell us next?
That this behaviour will ...
2:22 ... plunge her
lovers into terrible
suffering, throw her on
a bed of pain ....
OH NO! I don’t like the
sound of this.
15. ‘ We fall in love, we set up our
ideal of perfection, and in time we
are bitterly disappointed. … We
follow our projections about,
always searching for the one who
will match the impossible ideal ...
And when we don't find the divine
world where we search - in a
human being- we suffer; we fall
into despair.’
Robert A. Johnson. The
Psychology of Romantic Love
Bachatan blogspot
16. The devastating tirade continues.
Gregory Larson
2:23 And I will
strike her
children dead;
Both promiscuity
and projections lead to
disaster; on the
promiscuity side one
cannot help but think
of sexually transmitted
diseases, venereal
diseases (see .. Venus
again). And projections can have
equally tragic results
both for the individual
and the collective (as
we saw with Hitler and
his beautiful blond
Arian race).
17. 2:26 And he that overcometh … to him I will give power over
the nations: 2:27 ... And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
The goddess Athena, female
representative of the Age of Aries
and Libra, stands on top of the Old
Bailey holding the Libran scales of
Justice. Democracy was born in
Athens. Perhaps it is democracy
that will rule the world. Or maybe
it’s just love?
18. So ... to Venus, if her love and faithfulness
win through, is awarded the gift of … power
over the nations: And he … (Venus rules
Libra, cardinal Air, a positive and therefore
male archetype) ... shall rule them with a rod
of iron ...
Anyone got ideas for the meaning of ‘rod of
iron’? Iron is Mars, not Venus, but where
would Venus be without her lover Mar’s .. um
.. rod??
Venus represents the erotic attraction that
calls out for pollination, and Mars, as you can
see, is not only her lover in mythology but
also her intimate neighbour on the Anima
Mundi as they both share the position
intuitive-thinking – Venus AIR and Mars FIRE.
19. Venus is beautiful.
Beauty free of vanity, like
genuine love, offers true
joy, but taken to extremes
this delicate gift is
ruined. Debased it results
in conceit and arrogance
if you've got it, self-hate
or jealousy if you haven't.
This is the wickedness
that the Queen in Snow
White portrays so well
Yes …. She thinks
it’s Snow White’s
heart!
20. I CHING: GRACE. Nine at the top means: Simple grace. No
Blame.
Here at the highest stage of development all ornament is
discarded. Form no longer conceals content but brings out its
value to the full. Perfect grace consists not in exterior
ornamentation of the substance, but the simple fitness of its form.
Simple grace blog
Isn’t this lovely?
So, what is this
with FORM?
21. The Creative.
9 in the fourth place means:
Wavering flight over the depths.
Book III: The Commentaries. To waver
means that one has freedom
of choice.

SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX
Here is a
picture (on another of Liz’s
Tarot cards) of
young Paris
choosing
Venus as his
favourite
goddess,
rather than
Juno or
Athena, and
inadvertently
staring the
Trojan Wars.
OOOOPs.
22. Somatosensory
Homunculus –
Hello Venus.
The Somatosensory Homunculus
sports big hands and luscious lips not quite as big as Mercury’s - but this
little man also has genitals.
Would you expect less from a
model that symbolises the Venusian
function in our brains.
23. 2:27 ... as the vessels of a potter
shall they be broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father.
Ah, love! could thou and I with fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Could not we shatter it to bits - and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
Edward Fitzgerald.
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. 1859
Glyniss Lessing
Woof woof.
24. Clay, wet earth is an aspect of sensual/feeling
Taurus. A vessel is made of formed clay - but
why should it be broken into shivers?
Perhaps this is explained by the famous Zen
Buddhist story where the newly enlightened
disciple answers the question of the master by
breaking a pot. A central tenet of Buddhism is
the HEART SUTRA:
HEART SUTRA:
‘Form is emptiness
and emptiness is
form’.
25. 2:28 I will give to him the morning star ..
Morning Star is the Greek name for the planet Venus.
OK - that makes sense.
The next letter is addressed to Mars.
27. MARS:
ruler of the
sign Aries,
complementary ruler of
the sign Scorpio.
3:1 And unto the
angel of the church
in Sardis write; These
things saith he that
hath the seven Spirits
of God, and the seven
stars; I know thy
works, that thou hast
a name that thou
livest, and art dead.
library.thinkquest.org
28. ^

Although Mar’s yin partner, Scorpio’s
ruler, Pluto, had not been discovered
when John wrote Revelation, Pluto is
implied. Pluto is ruler of the underworld. Mars is birth, spring, progress,
he is also violence, aggression, passion,
desire and war. Mars (birth) and Pluto
(death) are as much one as the Sun and
the Moon, they reflect the same energy
in two different states, physical,
Scorpio, and ideological, Aries. Here we
are looking, not only Mars MOTIVATION,
but also compulsive, physical, MOTIVE
POWER, (Pluto).
e
_
Mars, ruler of Aries =
Birth
Pluto ruler of Scorpio =
Death.
29. .. If you are not watchful, I will come upon you like a thief,
and you will not know what hour ….
Wake up ... I have not found anything of yours completed;
Here Mars is told that if he is not watchful the spirit will come upon
him like a thief – Mars's angry outbursts can be lethal. Mars is also
upbraided for unfinished work Wake up ... I have not found anything of
yours completed. We know that Aries is notoriously impatient.
30. Why is Mars directed to wake up? Could this be alluding to desire,
another facet of the Mars energy? Is it desire, that appears to have so
much life, but is in actuality lifeless – dead.
Desire is the stamp of the herd, the unconscious mass. Only the instant
understanding of the false claim it is making on you .. can enable you to .. be
free of it without frustration…
The Mars element is pain and there is no mystery about pain, mental or
physical: its purpose is to drive you towards awareness, to wake up. If
you see this, pain has a purpose, otherwise you suffer for nothing.
Barry Long. Knowing Yourself. 1983. (My underlining)
The tragedy is that Tristan, in full
possession of a life of relatedness, … refuses
to enjoy it and appropriate it. Curiously,
there is nothing he need do: He only needs
to ... wake up to the riches that surround
him, and live.
Robert A Johnson.

31. Here is another HEART SUTRA.
Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, Buddhi, sohar.
It translates as:
Gone, gone, gone beyond,
completely exposed,
AWAKE
Sobeit.
According to Chogyam Trungpa ‘Buddhi’ means AWAKE!
32. The gift for those few who
survive the strength of Martian
desires unsullied is the honour of
being robed in white and
acknowledged as ‘of the spirit’ in
the presence of the Creator.
9 in the third place means:
Creatively active all day long.
He who is victorious shall
thus be robed in white; his
name I will never strike off
the role of the living, for in
the presence of my Father
and his angels I will
acknowledge him as mine.
Remember, this is Alpha and
Omega speaking!

Mars represents the Creative force
‘active’ in the human brain. The
Creative, according to the I CHING, defines ‘spirit’, as opposed to ‘body’
(which is symbolised by The
Receptive). If this is the Spirit of the
Son of Man talking, then ‘Creative’
Mars certainly belongs to HIM.
35. Jupiter is king of the Gods on Mount
Olympus. Here he riding out on his
chariot – he likes to get about.
36. He is ruler of Sagittarius,
complementary ruler of the
sign Pisces.
3:7 And to the angel of the
church in Philadelphia

38. 9 at the beginning means:
Hidden dragon, Do not act.
Quote: The Creative produces the invisible seeds of all development. At
first these seeds are purely abstract.
Therefore with respect to them there
can be no acting or acting upon; here
it is knowledge that acts creatively.
On this Receptive model
(physical), Jupiter stands in as the
first line of hexagram The Creative,
a line belonging to the intuitive
SOURCE SOURCE. It is ‘receptive’ Neptune
who supplies the wet environment
in which Jupiter’s warmth can work
its magic of expansion and create a
new physical being. Vision is
processed in the occipital lobes at
Occipital lobes the back of the brain. Neptune is
about film and photography - and
Jupiter – pattern recognition.
39. These words are from Saturn,
A New Look at an Old Devil, by
Liz Greene. 1976.
Jupiter's function in a psychological
sense seems to be connected with the
intuition and the faculty of creative
imagination or visualisation. It is this
intuitive faculty which responds to
the meaning of a symbol and which
makes us capable of apprehending
the basic meaning or ‘soul’ of an
experience or a person without prior
analysis. The direct experience of the inner world of meaning establishes the
quality which we term faith: .. The man who has genuine faith has it because
he knows, in a non-rational way, that there is meaning and purpose to his
experience and that it will unfold according to a pattern which contains
intrinsic wisdom and purpose. (My Underlining)
40. On the Zodiac (The Creative
male side of this complementary
pair) where there is no need of a
womb, SOURCE is connected
with 9th house ‘religion’ which
gave birth to universities, and
also with 12th house charitable
institutions (including hospitals).

SOURCE
Now you can see why the
ninth house is the house of faith:
it represents a link with the
intuitive-feeling SOURCE.
The only warning given to
Jupiter, mythological King of the
gods on Mount Olympus is, to ...
… let no one rob him of
his crown.
41. 3:12 … And he that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God. And I will write upon him the name of my
God, and the name of the City of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God,
and I will write upon him my new name.
The Jupiter function supports the inner psychic structure of human faith
as the pillar gives structure to the temple of God, and the ‘new name’ of
God, and of the Spirit, the Son of Man, and of the City of God is to be
written upon him. When I was born Jupiter was conjunct Mars in Gemini
sextile Mercury conjunct Sun in Aries. As Mars rules Aries and Mercury
rules Gemini with Jupiter tagging along they work together to make a great
team: they generate really good pattern recognition skills. Perhaps the
square to Jupiter’s partner Neptune helps too (though I don’t like it)?
42. THE NEW JERUSALEM,
THE GOLDEN CITY,
BRIDE of CHRIST.
And here it is!!! The Anima
Mundi, THE NEW JERUSALEM,
symbolising our beautiful home
planet. THE GOLDEN CITY or
BRIDE of CHRIST. You will
understand this better when she
is properly introduced in
presentation Three which
interprets Revelations final two
chapters. Christ is also called
The Spirit of the Son of Man, or
Alpha and Omega and we have
already established this is
represented by the ZODIAC, a
foundation layout on which we
map the movement of HEAVEN.
The Bible (including Revelation) is the holy book of the Age of Pisces/Virgo.
43. So we get to the last of the old
planetary rulers; Saturn. The seventh
star.

45. 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
beginning of the creation of God.
Saturn’s complementary partner (at this time yet to be discovered) is
electric Uranus, the first god, the Creation god who mated with Gaea who
then gave birth to LIFE.

they could see that he moved very slowly across the starry background. The

47. 15. I know thy
works, that thou art
neither cold nor
hot: I would thou
wert cold or hot.
Saturn is accused of being neither cold nor hot. This is pertinent, for the
original symbol for Capricorn was the Goatfish, a mythological beast
representing neither a hot blooded goat nor a cold blooded fish. On the Anima
Mundi Saturn is as far from hot fire and cooling water as you can get.
He is all Earth and Air. Liz says this particular mix is expressed cognitively as
empiric-thinking by which she means thinking with the Saturnian facts.
Saturn is all about ‘reality’. If Jupiter thinks he can jump out the window and fly
with the gods Saturn has the unpleasant job of dealing with the results.
48. Although he believes himself to be rich. How rich I am! and how well I have
done! I have everything I want ... Saturn rules the City and the businessman,
who control the power and authority created by wealth ..
How rich I am! and how well I have
done! I have everything I want ...

49. Poor Saturn.
Saturn is boundaries and walls
– he is rigamortis - he is stone.
When the metamorphosing
energy of life attempts to fix its
assets, cement its rules, fulfil its
needs through what it owns, what
it achieves in a physical sense,
rather than through what it is, it
loses its connection with the
source. Here it stands for an
artificial persona, a neat, tidy,
grown up, civilised self-designed
mask behind which the living,
creative self, is imprisoned,
contained and controlled.

SIX AT THE TOP: Dragons fighting in the

The Saturn/Uranus connection on

Uranus is a positive planet
(therefore yang), of a positive element
Air (also yang), carrying a positive
energy, the energy of inspiration,

discovered around the same time as

CHING by three yang lines which
make up the trigram the Creative.
52. Here I stand, .. knocking at the door:
Liz Greene calls
Saturn ‘the door
keeper’ because he
stands between the
personal and collective
planets.
He also stands at
the door of Death.
53. And here is Saturn at the highest
position on the Ptolemaic Order
sitting on his throne of authority.
… if anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come
in and sit down to supper with
him and he with me.
If Saturn hears his voice, and if
he opens the door, a difficult task
for rigid and defensive Saturn, he
will sup with the Spirit of the Son
of Man .
And … so says the voice ..
.. I will grant a place on my
throne, as I myself was
victorious and sat down with
my Father on his throne.
Up from earth's centre through the seventh gate
I rose, and on the throne of Saturn sate,
And many knots untangled by the road
But not the knot of human death and fate.

54. On the brain we are looking at the Frontal Lobes – a witness that records our
experiences, creates a personal sense of identity and has the power to
discipline the rest of the brain. Through the evolutionary capacity of its
complementary partner Uranus – genius and inspiration - Saturn is promised
the reward of ruling in harmony with the Spirit of Man and God.

Alchemists believed that
you could turn lead into
gold through a process of
calcinatio, a term which
means passing through
fire. Revelation continues:
3:18 Purchase gold
refined in the fire then,
thou mayest be truly rich.
‘There is no fast and easy method of making a friend
of Saturn. In many ways the ancient art of alchemy
was dedicated to this end; for the base material of
alchemy, in which lay the possibility of gold, was
called Saturn, and this base material, as well as
having a concrete existence was also considered to
be the alchemist himself.’ Liz Greene. Saturn, A New
Look at an Old Devil
57. I drew this picture in my
diary.
I didn’t recognise him until
after I had drawn him. After I
recognised him I gave him the
broach.
Because I drew him in my

58. Here he is at
25 degrees Aries
conjunct my 25
Aries Sun.
59. And here he is in reality – with the sun shining through his
rings. He looks like a DVD .. doesn’t he?
... And Saturn rules that part of the brain where we put down
conditioned memories .
One more point - Capricorn is a negative ‘receptive’ female
sign not male at all … memories always have to be imprinted
on some THING. So what’s up here? Hmmmmm?
