On August 16, 2003 the Sun will be conjunct Venus as they approach Jupiter and Regulus. Regulus is Apollyon of Rev. 9:11 fame, and the Little King is the Lord of the Bottomless Pit. It is the essential measure of time on the zodiac path, because it is the brightest star on the ecliptic.

Within a week the Sun, Jupiter, Venus, and some asteroids will all be conjunct at Regulus indicating the reign of a New King is to begin. During the time period from August 16 to December 15, Jupiter will transit Leo, the Kingdom of Heaven on the ecliptic.

Within a week of August 16, Mercury will go retrograde at the back feet of Leo, which is to say that wisdom will do a double take before leaving the Kingdom of Heaven. At the end of the period Mercury will be on the mouth of Sagittarius. The conjunction of the wandering sign of wisdom at the mouth of the eternal sign of wisdom is a sign that cannot be ignored. Revelation and apparition of judgment are clearly at hand.

Over the same time frame Venus will travel through Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius and stand behind the head of the Archer under the feet of the Babe in Swaddling Cloths. In other words, the Queen of Sheba will have come in judgment of the wisdom of Old Man for the sake of Youthful Reincarnation. I will show that it is men who are to be judged in a moment, but for now just realize that the Maya are judges of the rational beings of the earth who they called the Lords of Xibalba. The Maya always play the part of Hunahpu and his twin Xballanque who have come to pass judgment on the Lords of Xibalba and to release Hun Hunahpu (First Father, Ophiuchus) and Seven Hunahpu (Brother of First Father, or First Uncle, or All Men, and Sagittarius).

The Sun itself will define the boundaries of judgment for it will pass from Regulus to the knee of Ophiuchus, who is Hun Hunahpu, and Hurricane, the creator of the Mayan Cosmos. This is also the One Legged One who spins on his single leg to start the vortex of creation. The Bow of Sagittarius was the Thieves Cross to the May, for rational wisdom has the effect of the stealing sensual consciousness known as Common Sense.

Spanning the groin of Hunahpu during the period are Pluto and Quaoar. Now Quaoar was the name given to a large Kupier Belt Object. By its existence it has essentially proven that Pluto is also a Kupier Belt Object that does not belong in the firmament of the siblings of Jupiter. If you realize that Pluto is Hades the brother of Zeus and Jupiter, then you will also realize that the rational Lord of Darkness who was a son of Chronos and a brother of Zeus has been taken down as are result of the coming of Quaoar. This is the creator deity of the San Gabriel Indians who built the cosmos on the backs of Seven Giants and came as a KBO in the same year that the Angels took the World Series on the backs of the San Francisco Giants in Seven Games. At the end of the period the asteroid 3 Juno (wife of Jupiter) moves from between the legs of Virgo to the bosom of Abraham (Hunahpu, Ophiuchus, et. al.) directly on the occulting path of Pluto and above Quaoar. Obviously the overtaking of Pluto is a central theme, and it was emphasized by the movement of the wife of Jupiter-Zeus, it is he who is to become the New King in the Kingdom of Heaven for the next twelve months, and set the stage for a 13 Baktun celebration by 2012.

Likewise the comet Ikeya-Zhang C/2002C1 will pass over the center of the galaxy and act as an arrow flying into and through the bow of the archer, or the thieves' cross of the Maya. This is the comet noted for the path of Ishmael, and has been called the Ishmael Comet. Thus, the wisdom will be a revelation of Judgment Day upon the followers of Abraham and Ishmael. But, First Mother has not left Isaac's generations out of her plan, and we will come to Isaac latter. Just realize that Isaac will be circumcised eight days after birth, Ishmael thirteen years after birth, and Abraham one hundred years after birth. Thus, the Judgment Day of the Queen of Sheba is one of initiatory circumcision into manhood. It is for that reason that we have called this essay the Circumcision of Kobe, for your email was published on the day Kobe notified the world that he had committed adultery and was being falsely accused of felony sexual assault. One undeniable fact of the Free World of men is that they crucify their heroes in the interest of remaining free from false gods. Liberty has a price. The price is that great men must be taken down when the come to Waterloo.

We know that Judgment Day is at hand by virtue of nearly every ancient scripture. But during the time period being considered we can see that asteroid 2002 NY40 passes through the womb of Virgo to the upper plate of the balance of Libra. This being the case, the outcome for Judgment Day will be in favor of the innocent and the restoration of Seventh Heaven.

The ultimate proof that were are Judging a Rising Star is the movement of 3200 Phaeton during the period. It begins the journey between Cancer and Gemini. This is the place where feelings are on the boundary of cognition. It was this very boundary that may have cost Kobe his place in the stars. In a moment of weakness he failed to see that a woman who visits his room when he is alone is a weapon in the courts of the American Legal System, and a Delilah every Samson must avoid. It is ironic that we do not judge the Delilahs of this world who would take down a great man just for personal gain, but we are quick to judge the Samsons who get lost in natural compulsions at a moment of being not rational. But, again we see that this is a Judgment by the Queen of Sheba, not by the Lords of High Heaven. Kobe was caught in the Cosmic Ball Court and a daughter of a Lord of Xibalba took him for all she could get, and then cried that she was innocent and he attacked her while she visited him alone in his room. The Tricksters of Xibalba do not know how to resurrect themselves from the dead, and it wont be long before we know whether Kobe can get back to the land where he was a model First Father. In a mere thirty minutes a Delilah tore down a Temple of Slam Dunking, and another god was doomed to the River of Death on a chariot of fire.

Look at the path of 3200 Phaeton and see if you would agree that the story of Samson and Delilah is the same message of the day you published your email on the Maya Prophesies. After a short term in Cancer it danced under the feet of the Lion, or Mayan Jaguar, and when it reached the place where Wisdom retrograded like a halo on the Virgin, 3200 Phaeton went through the back of the head of First Mother. When did it change its course along the ecliptic? How about Apollyon's date September 11? Note in the chart above that September 11, 2003 is illustrated with the journey of Mercury and Phaeton encircled on the date of the second anniversary of the 911 Call That Shocked the World. As it changes course it gives the impression that the location of Venus acts like a orbital sling shot pulling the asteroid around a sharp corner. But, this is more than orbital mechanics at work as the asteroid of arrogance slingshots around the Sun, this is Maya Cosmic Metaphor at work. It is a message that says, "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature, for she has eyes behind her head." Those eyes are the Eyes of the Gods, and they work a magic of intuitive communication that reveals the Magical Wisdom of God, for even Mercury drew a halo at her head to prove that Virgo is the Mother of God. In the Popol Vuh she is Xmucane, First Mother.

In proper Maya metaphor, Phaeton comes out of the mouth of Xmucane and passes through her hand, Vindemiatrix, and the flower she held. In other words, the deflowering of innocence was at hand once again because a youth got too close to the sun. From England's Rose and Hunahpu's Corn Field, 3200 Phaeton passed through the foot and the groin of Bootes. He is the one who holds the spear of reincarnation that is the axis of the galaxy and the crook of learned knowledge. In Greek legend he was Achilles being swung around by his heel by his mother in an attempt to achieve immortality for the son. In Maya mythology he was Hunahpu, the enlightend example for all the May growing in the cosmic corn field. The similarities are not coincidence, they are the same stars. But, when 3200 Phaeton passes through the groin of Hercules, we can see what appears to be a Great Man was being castrated, for comet C/2000 WM1 Linear draws a phallus that rises from the groin of Hercules to the Apples of the Hesperides, or the heads of the Cerberus Hound of Hades, depending upon one's preferences. But time and timing is everything. What appears like a castration is in fact the exact opposite. The comet came after Xmucane had thrown Phaeton past the groin of Hercules. Thus, we are being shown the spiritual difference between an heroic enlightened man functioning in a cornfield of abundant life, and a youth becoming a man. This is Kobe's circumcision, for we can be sure of one fundamental fact, the Delilah that took a role in the hay with Kobe may have been a Jezebel or a Persephone, but after his experience, Kobe learned what manhood was all about. She at 19, and he at 23, were of the same psychic age. Both were innocent children. Both clearly had desire for the other. But, only one had to make the decision to be a man, and Kobe's timing was way off on this role in the hay being a slam dunk.

Kobe Bryant is the second circumcision since 9-11-01. For a full description of the journeys of Phaeton see Phaeton and the Four Horses of the Apocalypse in the Twilight Zone of the Giminids,

An abduction of youth took place much in the same manner as the Rape of Persephone, and the whole story is yet to unfold. The comet C/2002 T7 Linear shows where the charioteer can be found above the place where Orion stands without his head. Oh horrors of youth, were it only possible that youths could see the pain in pleasure before they lose their heads as demonstrated by the path of comet C01HT50 Linear-Neat which flees away from the man of the cosmic slam dunk, Orion. No mythical man has been put down more often than Orion, and no man has stood as an emblem of cosmic responsibility for so great a period.

Look at the Two Lovers (Gemini) and realize that Saturn-Chronos came with the Earth Mother, Ceres, to speak to her daughter in Gemini. On December 15, 2003, asteroid 1 Ceres will sit squarely on the head of the female twin. Will this echo of First Mother bring truth to the jezebel, or comfort to Persephone?

The hint that truth is in the offing is given by comet C/2002 O4 Hoenig, the World Tree Comet, that leaves the Feather of Maat and the lord of the Sun Barque as it heads toward the stern of the cosmic canoe. Off the bow of the cosmic canoe rises an asteroid called 2003 MS2. On December 15, 2003 it too will cross the retrograde loop of Mercury at the back of the head of First Mother on its way to the top of the World Tree and the flower in Virgo's hand. In the following year it will draw a Yellow Ribbon around the highest points of Seventh Heaven. The implication is that much adversity is coming, but First Mother will not abandon her lovers. Yet, who are these lovers, Kobe and his wife, or Kobe and Delilah, or Kobe and Persephone? To answer that question we have to get to the bottom of things deep within the Cosmic Self.

After the castration of the Great Man in Heaven Above, 3200 Phaeton will pass through the lucida of the Lyra and the neck of the Swan then pass between the Swan's wing and the Fox, as if to say that the Song of the High Flying Swan and the Foxy Lady are on the path of destiny of a man on a Chariot of Fire. On December 15, 2003, asteroid 3200 Phaeton will be knocking on the sarcophagus of Osiris, the World Tree of Lord Pacal at Palanque. Here the wings of Pegasus are the Great Square where a Bound One is attached. Does 3200 Phaeton come to the Block Head to doom his folly, or to release his bondage? It does not matter, for another innocent hero has been taken away from the aspiring youths who need heroes in these times of the false idols of ACLU. It is not that Kobe was guilty as charged, or not guilty of assault, it is simply that the hero that was Kobe has lost the glow of Heaven's Grace, and now he lies under the Great Tree just like Lord Pacal, with the breath of life still passing his nostrils as freedom and innocence leave him in the Bottomless Pit.

Orbital mechanics is not all the stars have to say. The orbits strip away the "self expression" by the Comos. The mathematical precision is useful for usurpation of the celestial mechanics, but they deny the celestial esthetics. A message of very clear meaning is present during the time period the Maya ask for consideration. The message is that the Signs of the Times must be kept in tune with the harmony of the spheres.

The ancients did not have the mathematical adaptations of orbital mechanics, however, they were fully aware of the Medium and the Messenger, and the Intent behind the messages, and the Signs of the Times. These they called First Mother, First Child, and First Father, and the Heavenly Hosts. The first three are the essential ingredients of communication and common sense. The Heavenly Hosts are all the asterisms of the fixed stars, and the wandering stars that carry timely correspondence. First Mother, and Medium, is the sensual aspect of all organisms and the substance of all material existence. First Child is the cognition which carries truth. First Father is the meaning and intent of the cognition within the medium.

Between 3200 Phaeton and the man in the pit, an amazing event is taking place. A planet known as the god of war, Ares-Mars, and the rational man-child, was in retrograde when this period began. As the period of concern ends Mars will sit at the current 1st of Aries within the Great Tree. In addition, an asteroid called Go Love Ka will return to the World Tree and conjoin Mars, while the comets C/2002 T7 Linear and C01HT 50 Linear-neat will pass over and under the horns of the bull, Taurus, to straddle the true 1st of Aries and the place where the vernal equinox was located on the day the King of the Jews was taken down!

Now we are in a position to see the real message behind the Maya Elders Warning. If the true 1st of Aries is nearly 30 degrees away for the place now called the 1st of Aries, then all the people who so designate the vernal equinox are of the same lie that  stained Abraham when he ran away from his own Father's Land and twice denied his own wife.

A comet called C2002 V1 Neat leaves the jawbone of the ass on August 16, 2003 and passes over the Dove of Horus and Noah to enter the mouth of the Leviathan and pass on to the tomb which has caused the recalcitrance of the ages. Fear of death and destruction is the source of all lies. It is for that reason, and that reason alone, that the Maya Elders Warning is given. Judgment Day is always at hand to those who have gotten beyond the fear of death in truth perception, for they no longer live until they die. They live eternally. Once the River Styx is crossed, no man will ever yield personal needs to the desires of, or for, a woman. Samson brought down the pillars of the temple of the Fish Man, Dagon. For him the role in the hay with Delilah meant the death penalty. He was innocent of wrong doing, but guilty of not paying attention. Jesus was innocent by virtue of his hidden Father's command, and guilty of disavowing earthly experience for the sake of heaven. So it was with America on 9-11-2001, and so it was with Kobe on June 30, 2003, and so it was with Hun Hunahpu when the idea of 13 Baktun was formed. Righteousness and villainy are bed fellows of the spiritually naive.

Those who stand in judgment are the innocent fools that lie about their own vulnerability in false righteousness self perception. Because of their lies, they too will face the judgment of the Queen of Sheba. But, for a man to desire a woman is the folly of the gods. If the Creator did not steal the rational mind of a man-child so that he would dream of the conquest of Persephone, or submission to the wiles of Delilah, then the man-child could never become a Father in Heaven. A man has got to do what a man has got to do, even at the loss of his head.

Since the Day We Tore the Saddam's Down and George Bush to the 72 Virgins that War in Iraq was finished, the Free World has done nothing but complain like Seven Macaw and NYC Turkey-Byrds about the death and destruction of war. Soon they will go the way of Abraham and lie about their emotions with such deep conviction that the Creator will have no recourse but to ask the Lord of the Bottomless Pit, Apollyon, or Apollo Lion, or lucida of Leo, or Regulus, or regulator of time, to stand in judgment of foolish children who simply cannot pay attention to history until it is a part of them. They will experience it over and over again, until they cross the river of death.

The Maya elders Warning is this.

Rev 2:5-7
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (KJV)

If we do not pay attention to our deeds, we will lose conscious connections to the real world and our candle will cease to give light to life. The Tree of Life is the whole material creation. Those who overcome the woes of creation that take the form of earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, and floods, will reap the fruit of the Tree, those who sustain the lies of denial will drink of the Wine of Grapes of Wrath squeezed by Crossed Portals of God Angry Eyes.

Finally, a comet called C/2001 O4 Neat illustrates that the process of regaining Cosmic Consciousness is related to the process of Cosmic Circumcision. It slices the foreskin of the cosmic phallus of the Centaur at Golgotha where all Great Men are judged by the First Mother. The head of this great phallus is the Ben-Ben of Egypt sitting at the End of the River under the feet of the Phoenix. Can America regain her innocence? In truth no. In youth, most certainly. Can Kobe regain his innocence? In one respect he has been initiated into manhood and the unfairness of our cosmic witness. Life is not designed to be fair, though it is benevolent, sure enough. But, life is designed to be free. The only price we pay to gain life is the loss of innocence and the loss of the fear of death. Death has no sting, it is the loss of innocence that hurts, and there are more lost souls who would judge children than there are Mother-Father gods who would lift them up. But, that too, though not fair, is the necessary course to maturity. The best we can hope for is that the loss of innocence comes soon enough to regain the loss of appreciation which innocence enfolds in its bondage to the hormones of the organism of First Mother. Within the shaft of the Centaur's phallus a comet called Hale Bopp reminds us of the time when 39 advocates of Heaven's Gate set out on a journey at the 1st of Aries in 1997 to rise above the mundane existence as they followed the comet in memoriam of its destiny, which is the foundation of the axis of the Earth.

Now the foundation of the Earth at the south pole sits 180 degrees from the south Pillar of Hercules. And of course, that is the real message behind the Maya Elders. Great Men always get down before they get up. It is only the innocent who fanaticize the journey up without a journey down. So, in closing may the dreams of a great man and a great country not fail them at their hour of greatest need. The Cities of God can all be rebuilt. But, an innocent child can never regain what it never had. America has become a man, and Kobe is another sign of the times.
