“Astronomers Find the Edge of the Milky Way’s Star-Forming Disc”

 

 

Where does the Milky Way begin and end? It’s not a simple question because it contains stars, a halo of field stars and gas, and then an even larger halo of dark matter that stretches almost to Andromeda. A new paper suggests that the Milky Way’s star-forming regions define an important boundary, and they’ve traced this edge to about 40,000 light-years from the galaxy’s core. Beyond this region, the stars probably migrated out through gravitational interactions, but didn’t form there.




God is Above All

“The One God is above all in greatness, but under Him above all else on Earth is the soul of man. It is not isolated from the Godhead above, nor from the mortal below, for it is that, which spans the gulf between. It is the link between God and man, between immortal and mortal.

“Nothing exists, which is or can be isolated from all else. There is a connection between Earth and the Region of Glory, a link between dust and star. From the Highest God down to the mote runs an unbroken and unbreakable chain.

“Man is apart from all other creatures, in that he has foreknowledge of death and decay. If man be immortal, then it is the burden of his immortality; but if he passes to nothingness, he is cursed above the unknowing beasts, which know not the dread of approaching doom.

“Has man been placed above the beasts to be confronted with his

own nothingness? Is his superiority nought but the father of terrors? Such cannot be, for the direction of life is ever towards betterment, and it cannot be cast back upon itself.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:1-4)

The Greatness of God

It should be obvious that the greatness of God is greater than that of any other being, but some people don’t understand that. If any other being were greater than God, then that being would be the true god.

Soul of Man

It is true that the Soul of Man is above all else on Earth. The Soul is that part of us that is capable of immortal life, but we must make the effort to awaken and develop it while we are on Earth. It is true that the human Spirit, which becomes a Soul when properly developed, Links Heaven and Earth. The Spiritual Sun also acts as an intermediary between Man and God by bringing God’s Light to us, but it is up to us to accept that Light and use it to develop our Spirit.

Nothing Can Be Isolated

This statement in the quote is true. Nothing can be isolated from other things. Everything is connected. In Cosolargy, we wear our sacred thread to remind us of that fact. Until recently, most scientists disagreed with this belief, but increasing evidence of the fact is starting to convince some. Particularly, the fact that scientific experiments have shown that two identical particles can affect each other, even when separated by a large distance.

Man is Different

It is true that man is different from all other Earthbound beings in that he has foreknowledge of death. Not that we know when we will die, but we know that someday our physical self will end. That is why it is so important to develop our spiritual Self before that happens. And while animals may not understand death as we do, there is evidence that when a pet is dying, they are aware of it and will behave in certain ways that are different from their normal behavior.

Direction of Life

It is true that the direction of life is always toward betterment, but materialistic scientists think that evolution has always moved forward. In actual fact, man has devolved from a much greater being of Light and Spirit. We are now at the point in human history where we can choose to turn around and start evolving again. God has sent us the Sun of Righteousness to help. But God isn’t going to do it all for us. We need to make the effort ourselves.




“Is the Earliest Supermassive Black Hole Mystery Solved?”

 

 

Astronomers continue to find supermassive black holes at earlier and earlier times in the Universe, challenging theories about how they might form. In a new paper, researchers studied the role that dark matter played in the early Universe, suggesting that the decay of dark matter could have influenced the birth and growth of those early supermassive black holes. Dark matter particles could send very small amounts of energy into a gas cloud, which could kick-start the black hole formation process.




“Binary Stars Form Lots Of Exoplanets, But Many Of Them Are Ejected As Rogue Planets”

 

 

Most large stars come from multi-stellar systems, and the evidence seems to show that many of them will have formed planets. Astronomers have now found many examples of circumbinary planets, which orbit around both stars in the system, remaining stable for billions of years. But the gravitational interactions aren’t completely stable and probably eject many planets from the system when it’s forming, throwing rogue planets out into the Milky Way.

There is No Other Being Like God

“There is none other like unto the One God in all His glory. Whose strength can challenge Him? Whose will can contend with His will? Whose might can equal His? Where is another with His wisdom? Who in goodness can compare with Him?

“By the power of His thoughts, many kingdoms are brought forth beyond Earth. He speaks the unutterable word, and they are created. He rules His creatures with infinite wisdom and directs their destinies with unchallengeable decrees. His will controls the forces within men ,and the thing they seek unknowingly is Him. As the body, when hungry is filled with the urge to eat and when thirsty, with the urge to drink, so is the spirit in man filled with the urge to seek God.

“His ordinances govern Earth and the Heavens above. All things therein have their appointed place and purpose, and in their nature conform to His Law. His ways are inscrutable, transcending the

understanding of men. His thoughts are a mystery, which men may not fathom, they are veiled and withdrawn beyond the comprehension of mortals.

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:2:10-12)

None Like the One God

There is only one true God. The Demiurge loves to pretend that he is God, and while many believe him, he is not. Some people who oppose religion will say when someone says they believe in God, “Which one?” They think that because there are many names for God, these must be different Gods, but there is only one God, despite different people giving him different names.

Strength and Will

The strength that God has is not physical strength since God is not a physical being. One of the definitions of strength is: the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure. That is the kind of strength that God has. No being, no force, no energy, can force God to do anything. As for His Will, it is that will that governs all of creation. The Laws of God and the Will of God are the same thing. Even the realm of nature must obey the Will of God. While many humans don’t obey God’s Will, they suffer consequences for doing so. Not that God punishes them, they punish themselves

Wisdom and Goodness

No one has either the wisdom or goodness of God. Even Jesus said so when someone called him “good master,” and he replied, “Do not call me good, only the Father in Heaven is good”. As for wisdom, I think most of us understand that the ultimate wisdom is the wisdom of God. Some materialists think that some men have wisdom. While they may have some, none have the full wisdom of God.

Power of His Thoughts

The quote says that by His thoughts God creates many kingdoms beyond Earth. This does not mean other planets and stars of the material sort. It means that God creates spiritual worlds or dimensions. When it says in the Bible that God has created us in His image, it can be interpreted in two ways. One, it means that God created our spirits, not our physical bodies. It also means that god creates things by forming an image in His mind. When he does that, the thing exists.

Urge to Seek God

The quote is correct in saying that just as a hungry person has an urge to eat and a thirsty person has an urge to drink, so man’s spirit has an urge to seek God. This is true, but only if the spirit has been awakened from the dormant state it is in when we are born into the physical world. One that happens, then the spirit does have a strong desire to know God. That is why awakening the spirit is the first part of any legitimate spiritual development school.

His Ordinances Govern

All things that exist are governed by God’s Law. Simple things that have little or no consciousness automatically conform to God’s Law. More advanced beings may foolishly try to do things against God’s Law, but in the end, they always suffer consequences for doing so. So remember, there is but one God and no other being is His equal.




“Massive black hole from the early universe has astronomers looking back to the Big Bang”

 

 

Abell 2744–QSO1 appears just 700 million years after the Big Bang, an era when astronomers expect to find young galaxies still putting themselves together. In that picture, stars should come first, building up the visible mass of a galaxy, while black holes grow more gradually inside them. But this object, seen by the James Webb Space Telescope, looks almost upside down.
