A year ago tomorrow, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its record-breaking closest approach to the sun. And the images it captured have now revealed new details about how magnetic fields responsible for space weather escape from the sun … and how sometimes they don’t.

Look up on a dark night and the stars seem scattered at random. Step back in scale, though, and the Universe looks nothing like a loose dusting. On its largest stretches, matter forms a vast web. Thick clusters rise where threads meet. Long filaments bind them together. Immense voids lie between, empty as oceans without water.

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over the past decade, data from the Gaia space telescope and massive sky surveys have given astronomers an unusually sharp view of those records. With millions of stars tracked for motion, age and composition, a strange pattern has stood out: the stars in the Milky Way’s disc do not follow one smooth chemical trend.

“I am Kison, son of Nesubot and Nektorab, a citizen of Hakarnak. I am he, who brought the Sacred Writings from the swamplands and gathered men together, who are the Sons of Light.
“Now the wisdom of olden times is replanted in the land, though it sits without in the courtyard. Yet among those behind the pillars, many know who among them sees clearly. Great secrets are hidden deeply, but they are not unknown, and the day will come when the soil will give up its treasures.
“I am not one who takes his ear in his hand when darkness clouds his heart. I came from out of the land of security to a place, where all men would raise knives against me, were their eyes opened.
“In baskets of barley, on the backs of asses, came the Sacred Writings containing words to guide the wise and knowledge to dispel the powers of darkness. No magic could prevail against the superior spells I carried, and the treasures remained unseen.
“Men sit beneath the trees and nod their heads solemnly and roll out long books to read things that evaporate in the air. I deride not the books, but one blow of the sword can destroy ten thousand strokes of the pen.
“Those in high places persecute us, not because of the whole of the writings, for much is common to all, but because we seek to change the established order of things. We seek to change the ever present state of affairs.
“Because, too, we have a God who is not the holder of property or a God of the rich and powerful. Who benefits from the riches and estates of other gods? The gods or their priests? Would they who benefit, therefore, welcome the words of God? Such is not the nature of men, and we have the nigh impossible task of changing the natures of men.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (Man:29:1-6)
We don’t know what particular area Kison is calling swamp lands, but we know this part of the Kolbrin Bible was written by priests of ancient Egypt. These are obviously not just average priests, but priests of the ancient Mystery Schools that existed in Egypt.
What Kison means by this is that those who left Egypt and headed to lands to the North (probably Greece) where they gathered together people of Light to study the sacred teachings. When he says “Sons of Light,” we must remember that until recently, this could refer to both men and women. Some of the ancient schools accepted both men and women, while others accepted only men. It is not clear which was true of these new schools established in Greece.
At first, the teachers who left Egypt had to teach in the open in Greece. But only a limited number of the teachings were revealed in public. As their popularity grew, they began to establish new Mystery Schools where carefully selected students could study the full Teachings of Light.
The Sacred books had to be carefully carried into Greece, hidden in baskets of barley so they would not be seen by those of certain religions who would have turned against these Egyptian priests if they knew what they were carrying into their land. It should be noted that while some teachings were in the books, they were often written in allegory so the uninitiated could not understand them. In addition, the most important teachings were never written down, but passed on only verbally.
These teachers were persecuted by the government because they sought to change the order of things, much as do spiritual people today. While governments, even today, say that it is allowed to kill other people under certain conditions, or when the government declares war on them, spiritual people knew that was not true. When God said that we should not kill, he did not make exceptions. They were also persecuted because most spiritual teachers taught that individuals should not own property, and when students joined the schools, they were required to give all their property and money to the school to be shared by all.
Yet despite all these problems, we know that the Egyptian priests succeeded in starting new Mystery schools in Greece. Eventually, those schools spread to Rome. To some degree, God protects those who do His work on earth.
We’d be remiss to have the holiday season pass by without showcasing the lovely Christmas Tree cluster. The area of sky in this photo goes by a number of names, including the Christmas Tree cluster, the Cone nebula and NGC 2264. The image above shows a region of space about 30 light-years across. Astronomers at ESO’s La Silla Observatory, in the Atacama Desert of Chile, captured this image.

For 2 decades, astronomers have puzzled over how supermassive black holes already existed less than a billion years after the Big Bang. If these black holes formed from collapsed stars, the stars would have needed to be dramatically more massive than any we’ve ever observed.
And now, astronomers say they’ve found the 1st strong evidence that such colossal stars did exist.

“Praise to the Great Lords of Eternity who, once such as we, now sit in the Everlasting Halls. Sanctified forever be the name of The One God, to Whom Alone shall be given reverence and glory, Who Alone is worthy of worship.
“Greetings, my Companions in Suffering; may the sun ever rise in glory over your fields. May you enjoy peace and prosperity here, and rise in splendor to a life of beauty in the Region of Light.
“May your servants be ever dutiful and your sons upright. May the women of your household be ever diligent and neat, chaste and modest.
“Two generations have passed into judgment since the wild dogs came swiftly in the night and scattered the seeds of wisdom to the winds.
“The Great Land shall no more know the true greatness of wisdom. The black soil shall not nourish its seed. The seed shall spring up and burst forth into leaf in foreign lands, among strange people.
“Our destiny lies Northward, and such is foretold in the Sacred Writings. I go and my household, and Jothan the Sartisian with his household. My brother Kabel also and his daughter, with Karob and Agab of the house of Moshes.
“We go by way of Kambusis and the waters of Jabel, over the wild wilderness to the Mountains of Winds. Beyond them we journey into Kindia, where there are pines.
“We shall take the records of the Eastern Quarter and the Guardians, who remain with us.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:28:1-8)
The Great Lords this is talking about are not gods, but advanced spiritual beings who have left the physical realm and now sit in Heaven, which the quote calls “the Everlasting Halls”.
The quote was written in ancient Egypt, where most believe that a pantheon of many gods was worshiped. The quote tells us that some were aware that there is only One True God, the God in Heaven, the God of Spirit, not matter.
Naturally, we want the sun to always rise. If it didn’t, we would be in trouble. But these ancient priests of Egypt were talking about the spiritual sun as much as the physical, though they don’t say it.
The priest is here wishing for you to rise to a life of splendor in the Region of Light, another way of saying Heaven, as that is the realm of Light. It must be noted that Light is capitalized in the quote, indicating that it refers to Spiritual Light, not ordinary light.
The “wild dogs” that came in the night to scatter the seeds of wisdom are not actual dogs, but barbarians who opposed the wisdom schools of ancient Egypt. Who these barbarians were, we don’t know.
Those who fled from the Barbarians headed north, probably to Greece and India (which is called Kindia in the Quote). In these new lands, the remnants of the ancient priesthood of Egypt began new schools of wisdom and spiritual development. They brought with them the “records of the Eastern Quarter” which were most likely records of their schools, who attended them, where they were located, their initiation rites, and so on. Those records would help in establishing new schools in the new lands they traveled to. By so doing, they assure that the Spiritual Sun will forever rise in glory.
Astronomers have produced the first continuous, 2-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the sun’s atmosphere, a shifting, frothy boundary that marks where solar wind escapes the sun’s magnetic grasp. By combining the maps and close-up measurements, scientists from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) showed that the boundary grows larger, rougher and spikier as the sun becomes more active.

A powerful solar storm arrived last May and pushed Earth’s protective systems harder than anything seen in more than twenty years. When waves of charged material erupted from the Sun and slammed into the planet on May 10 and 11, 2024, the impact set off a chain of rapid changes in the space around you. What scientists uncovered from this event offers the clearest picture yet of how an extreme solar storm can squeeze Earth’s plasma layers, distort the upper atmosphere, and disrupt the technology people rely on every day.
