God’s Brain

Michelangelo’s depiction of the human brain and brain stem appears to be drawn on the neck of God in a panel high on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The reason why the Sistine Chapel was commissioned by the Vatican to be painted by Michelangelo was because the people were ignorant and could not read; an illustration was substituted though it clearly states in the beginning of the Ten Commandments: do not make an image of God from the forms of heaven or earth.

This atrocious act of hubris perpetrated by the Church has inspired many by the pure artistry, but to think there is some kind of message embedded within the art is alluring. What did Michelangelo mean by depicting the brain of God in the neck?

The Cabala uses the human anatomy as a guidepost through creation separated in four sections like the human body; the head, torso, limbs plus soul provide the format for spiritual understanding known as the Four Worlds–three of body and one of soul. Matter and spirit have form, but God has no form.

The Cabala explains how cognition is an extreme contractive form of the light; the neck is the most contractive part of the body called Mitzar/Confinement. The brain of the emotions arise in the neck in the form of external cognition through which the heart is inspired.

Water on Mars

Mars appears to have had running water on its surface about one million years ago, according to new evidence.

The Torah/Teaching is full of references to Mars as the previous world from which this world was seeded with life attested to by story related of how God called out life buried in the earth. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says that it took 974 generations to produce the life in the previous world called Tohu. From the Zohar-Book of Secret it is obvious the flood also came from Mars; the tell tale signs left on the surface of Mars is proof. Mars is also intrinsic to the workings of Rome whose god is the planet Mars—god of War.

Much valuable information could be gleamed from the ancient books, but their wise words have been relegated to religion leaving room for this obstinate arrogance insisting life just appeared for no reason.

Hubris will end as the light begins.
