Ja, jag har läst hela eländet.

The members of these ancient Mystery Schools also began noticing that a change in the quality of time, i.e. which sign or zodiacal 'month' you were in, also caused a change on the surface of the earth and in behavior patterns of humans, plants and animals.
Yada yada yada.
Vad för förändringar av jordens yta, i djurs, växters och människors beteende? Det är ju bara en laddning strunt! Ingenting kvantifierat, explempifierat och absolut inte bekräftat.

Being part of an initiatic organization such as the priesthood or sacred society, whose wisdom was handed down through a direct chain of transmission from master to student, their rituals, studies and training allowed them to be privy to an extraordinary body of knowledge. This knowledge enabled them to commune with the forces of nature and the more subtle beings of their reality. What we refer to today as extra-sensory or paranormal abilities such as clairvoyance, telekinesis, telepathy, and the capacity to journey in dreams and visions across the planet, to the stars, into other dimensions and even through the veils of time itself were as commonplace to them as surfing the internet is to people of our modern world.
Tråkigt nog har ingen lyckats vetenskapligt påvisa dessa intressanta fenomen, som såleledes bör avskrivas.

To describe the unique qualities and attributes of each of these Ages, these Sacred Scientists used the symbolic language of metals - gold, silver, bronze and iron. Interestingly, these four metals gain molecular density as they move from gold to iron. So it would seem, according to this paradigm that as the Four Ages unfold, gravity is increased and the packing of molecules becomes denser. And now, if the Cross of Hendaye, the writings of Fulcanelli and the work of John Major Jenkins, as well as our own research into Alchemy and Tantra is correct, we are at the end of the Fourth Age, the Age of Iron. But what does this really mean?
Ah. "Sacred Scientists". De jönsarna har inte mer gemensamt med någon vetenskap än vad mina krukväxter har. Vadå "gain molucular density"? Densiteten för guld är bra mycket högre än för järn! Gravitationskonstanten är en fundamental konstant i fysiken och uppvisar inga tecken på att ha ändrats sedan Big Bang.
"What does this really mean?" 'Tis
bollocks, IMHO.

Upon reading The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and other works of J.R.R. Tolkien, it is clear that these questions gave him much fuel for contemplation. There are so many parallels between Tolkien's work and alchemical knowledge that one cannot help but surmise that he must have been aware of this ancient view of the Ages with its unique perspective on creation, history and the pre-history of humanity and deftly wove it into the very fabric of his tales.
Jodå, det kan man visst tvivla på. Bara för att Tolkien använde sig av gamla myter och berättelser som även alkemin vävt in i "sin" mytologi, betyder det givetvis inte att de är samma sak! Det är för *%¤"%¤ inte något unikt perspektiv! Liknande skapelsemyter finns över hela världen, i många religioner. Jämför berättelser om maran som rider folk och ger dem mardrömmar - sådana historier finns i mytologierna från inuiterna till djungelfolk i Sydostasien - men ingen tror att det finns någon gemensam mystisk grund för de historierna.

This scholarship allowed him to trace words, expressions and vernacular backwards through history and culture to their root source. This research into the roots of language, known in the alchemical lore as the 'Language of the Birds' or 'Language of the Gods', would logically lead him to ponder the hidden mysteries or secret messages which have been passed down from the ancients through the vehicle of the spoken and written word.
Nej, det skulle det logiskt
inte gjort. Tolkien var en vetenskapsman i Oxford i fornengelska. Mycket kan man säga om både fornengelska, forngermanska och i dess yttersta förlängning hela den indoeuropeiska språkgruppen, men något "Language of the Birds" är det nog ingen vetenskapsman som ens hört talas om i seriösa sammanhang. Texten tillskrivet Tolkien tankar och avsikter som jag tror att den djupt katolskt kristne gamle professorn nog knarrande skulle ha vägrat befatta sig med.

While pondering questions such as these, Tolkien came to understand that it was very likely that, once upon a time, what we today would consider strange and magical forms of sentient beings, did exist in our world. Elves, Dwarves, Wizards and possibly even Hobbits, or creatures very much like them, appeared to be embedded in the languages that he studied. Whether Tolkien actually believed that these creatures existed in our past is not as important as the fact that his understanding of philology revealed their presence. Did his attunement to the subtle vibratory frequencies of sound, an attunement more refined than the majority of humanity cares to experience in this Age of the Machine, allow him to travel back in time to a former Age of our world to perceive the presence of creatures such as these?
Argh! Nu tillskrivs Tolkien återigen åsikter och avsikter som är helt ogrundade i hans produktion. Det är ju helt barockt! Bara för att någonting finns i ett språk så betyder det givetvis inte att det finns i fysisk form. Vi har ord för hur många företeelser som helst som inte finns eller har funnits, men det betyder inte att de har sin fysiska motsvarighet i världen. Tidsresandet är för dumt för att ens bemötas...

Is it possible that through his research, Tolkien uncovered the magical 'Language of the Birds', and discovered that the fabled lore of Alchemy also appeared to resonate through these languages? It is clear that through this knowledge of alchemical lore, Tolkien also couldn't have helped but notice that the weave of language appeared to be growing tighter as these languages approached the Modern Age, that language, like our culture, our bodies and the earth itself appears to be densifying through time and the Four Ages of Humanity.
Nu har Tolkien begåvats med kunskap om alkemin också... "...densyfieng through time and the four Ages". Nu är han där igen och pratar strunt! Vadå "förtätas"? Det finns ingenting, de nada, keines, nothing som stöder det! Fria jädra fantasier!
Just nu orkar jag inte med mer av den här grumliga sörjan. Jag fortsätter senare...
