The oxygen in a galaxy does not sit still. It spreads, thins out, piles up, and leaves behind a record of where stars formed, where gas moved, and when smaller galaxies crashed in. In the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1365, astronomers have now read that record in unusual detail, using oxygen as a kind of fossil trail.

“Where, today, are the rulers and princes this land once knew? Where are similar officials to be found? Today, bribery creeps behind the seats of judgment, corruption lurks on the right hand, and perjury sneaks around to the left. What of the flow of fine words that accompany a magistrate to his seat of appointment? What have these noble utterances become but a more meaningless babble. Yet are they not a glorious thing capable of moving the hearts of men with their inspiring message of hope in the ultimate attainment of justice? Let them be recorded for all time.
“He who is pure of hands comes forth. He utters the words that have come from the Temple of Man. Those with panther skins bear the symbols of authority. These words are spoken. You are the ever faithful servant of Truth. the humble one who begs her for guidance. You are not the lord of justice but one who ever seeks it with humility and perseverance, praying it will bless your decisions. You are henceforth one whose words are heavy with authority, whose eyes see without prejudice and whose ears are closed to intolerance. Your thoughts are clear and clean, your heart is pure. It is free of all malice, and to you, a vindictive verdict will be an abomination. The mantle of wisdom rests on your shoulders and the robe of learning is your garment. Your tongue is the servant of Truth and the sword of justice. Your mouth is the shrine of honor and the cave of retribution. Your heart is the temple of purity and the storehouse of wise judgments from the past.”
“Justice will ever be your guiding light and rule; it will lead you even to the appointed place before the mother of the king. Wherever you go, uprightness will take command. You will wield the sword of justice without fear; you will bear it before the sight of all men. You will carry it to the rich and powerful, to the poor and lowly, without discrimination. You will strike down all merchants of falsehood, all fork-tongued deceivers, all who bear false witness or break the statutes of the king. Let wickedness perish in the sands.”
The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:34:11-13)
There was a time when rulers tried their best to follow the Laws of God and the laws of nature. They passed laws that extended and explained the Laws of God rather than opposing them. But as the quote indicates, today many rulers are subject to bribes and corruption. They rule for the benefit of the wealthy, not for the benefit of all. Of course, the “today” that the quote is talking about was centuries ago, but we see it happening again, perhaps worse than ever.
Those ancient rulers who followed the Laws of God did leave inspiring messages to be passed on to future generations in the times when such rulers were scarce. The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was a good example of this. His philosophy is studied even today.
The ancient students of the spiritual temples were faithful servants of truth, and were guided with humility, grace, and love. There eyes say without prejudice, meaning they did not treat people differently because of their race, religion, sex, or nationality.
The robe of learning is the garment of the righteous person because such a person never quits learning, never believes there is nothing more to learn.
The righteous do bring justice to all equally. They will treat the rich and the poor the same. And they will do their best to help God bring an end to the wickedness in the world. It may seem like the opposite of this is happening, but the wicked must be brought out of their hiding places and exposed to the Light of the Sun of Righteousness to burn the wickedness out of them.
Here’s a question that sounds simple but has kept cosmologists arguing for decades – how old is the universe? You’d think we’d have nailed this down by now. We’ve sent spacecraft to the edges of the Solar System, photographed galaxies billions of light years away, and detected ripples in the very fabric of spacetime itself. And yet, depending on which method you use to measure the universe’s age, you get a different answer and those answers seem to contradict each other.

Astronomers have used a collection of telescopes to peer through the gas and dust obscuring the center of the Milky Way to reveal the enigmatic Central Molecular Zone. This is a region 650 light-years in diameter filled with a complex network of filaments made of dense clouds of gas. A new image shows how cold molecular gas flows along these filaments to feed into clumps where new stars are born in the Milky Way’s most extreme environment.

Between May 2023 and January 2024, a global network of gravitational-wave detectors picked up 128 new cosmic signals, more than doubling the entire catalog built across the previous decade. The universe, it turns out, is not quiet. It is constantly shaking.

“They say among themselves, as it will ever be said when men are deluded by their mortality, The life of man is short and uncertain; the one certainty in life being the approach of death. What awaits hereafter, no man can tell, for no man is known to have returned from out of his tomb. We are all the children of accident and mischance, and in a short generation shall be as though we had never been. Our bodies shall harden and be ground to dust, and the fire of our hearts shall burn itself out and turn to ashes. Our shade will hover for its day and then be wafted away on the wind, and as the waters come and go, our name will pass from the memories of men forever. The works of man shall pass away like the shadow of a cloud upon the sand, and his life will vanish like the dew of morning that disappears in the heat of the rising sun. What are the days of man, but the shadow of a shadow, and he
passes away to an end from which there is no returning. He goes out through a door which is immediately shut, and there is no way back.
“They say, Come, therefore, and let us be joyful; let us cast aside the long face of learning and the melancholy face of discipline. Let us enjoy the good things of life, which are all about us. Let us take no thought for an uncertain future; where is the profit in that? Let us eat and drink to fullness, let us grant our bodies all means of satisfaction. Let no means of pleasure and enjoyment pass us by, but whatever comes our way, let us make the best of our lot in life. Let us turn our backs on all doctrines of the spirit, for they deny us much. Let us give full rein to all our senses and feelings, and let them serve the ends of pleasure. …
“Such are the things spoken by men today, and if the declare them not openly, they hide them in their hearts. … Gold is not gathered by the wayside.
“Yet, the wisdom of our fathers did avail them, whatever is said in the streets today. They have indeed left a memorial worthy of reverence, and they are not without shrines. … As for the Enlightened Ones, who passed among the people and strengthened them since the days when the gods walked with
men, their names have become lasting even though they themselves have gone.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (Man:34:7-10)
It is true that life is short and uncertain, but only if you consider just our physical life. Spiritual life is neither short nor uncertain, but those who choose to live only as material beings know nothing of that eternal life.
Again, this statement is true only if you are a materialist who knows nothing of your own spiritual Self. Those who have awakened and developed their spiritual Self know that a greater life awaits in the spiritual realm for those who prepare for it. But what many can’t understand is that the materialist who does nothing to prepare for that eternal life will be denied it.
That is true, but some people have learned to make things that last thousands of years. Some examples of that are the pyramids of Egypt and the roads built by the ancient Romans. Unfortunately, today, the philosophy of most companies is to build everything to be temporary. This has resulted in people who generally think the same way. They concern themselves with the temporary pleasures of matter and ignore the permanent ones of the Spirit.
Yes, the wisdom of the ancient spiritual leaders, as well as the few real ones of today (sadly, we have many today using spirituality as a way to scam people and make money), does live on in hidden schools and temples. More and more people are awakening to the truth, and the world is changing because of it.
A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep off the coast of Sicily by the KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino telescope, the neutrino clocked in at about 220 petaelectronvolts, making it the most energetic neutrino ever recorded.

Black holes are the densest objects in the universe. When they collide, they unleash ripples in spacetime known to scientists as gravitational waves. These waves travel across millions to billions of light-years of space. But they’re barely perceptible when they reach us here on Earth. Scientists are trying to catalog these signatures of black hole mergers. Now they say they’ve detected 128 new signatures over a 9-month period. Why so many? Image via SXS.

The Aurora Borealis and Australis have dazzled and inspired all those who have beheld them since time immemorial. Much like the Moon, stars, constellations, and planets, they are considered a permanent part of our shared cultural heritage. These awe-inspiring displays of light are the result of charged particles from our Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. However, there remain unanswered questions about the mechanisms that power aurorae that scientists have been hoping to resolve for decades. For example, there’s the question of what powers the electrical fields that accelerate these particles.

“Then came the year of the great flood of waters, though some say it was before these days, when the salt seas rose upon the East and covered the land. Men were warned beforehand by the shortening of the days of the years, and the five days now added to the days of the year are days of sorrow for the alteration of things. It is said that seven days before the coming of the waters the sun appeared in a different quarter, but this is not easy to believe as the sun remains ever constant. The sailors of the king
certainly departed for strange places during the chaos of waters, perhaps this was because the sun had left his steady course.
“Kings came and departed to their place. They ministered unto the people according to the light revealed unto them. Most knew only the veiled Truth. but in olden times, they were better kings than in later days. There were long generations of men who walked with wisdom, and among them was the generation of the First Great Master, he who established the Brotherhood of the Chosen Ones of Light. In those days men learned the rites for coming forth by day, but the inner wisdom was not declared before them. Yet they were days of wisdom, skill and knowledge, but the knowledge of the spirit still languished, and the Sacred Secrets remained hidden. In fact, never have they been revealed to the multitude of men, for never has the multitude of men been worthy.”
-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:34:4-5)
Most of us are familiar with the story of the Great Flood through the story of Noah and the Ark found in the Bible. Most people are not aware, however, that there are similar stories of a Great Flood found in many lands and in the scriptures of many religions. The stories may be exaggerated, as modern science tells us there is no way the seas could rise to the point of covering all of the land. Yet physical evidence has been found in recent years that many areas that are now dry land were at some time underwater.
The quote tells us that this great event involved more than a flood. It caused the days to get shorter and the year to get five days longer. Probably the only thing that could have caused all of that is a large asteroid or a small planet passing close to the Earth. Immanuel Velikovsky believed it was the planet Venus that entered our solar system from outside. He wrote about this in his 1950 book, Worlds in Collision. Scientists today consider his work nonsense, yet it does explain some things better than any other theories available.
There were times in the past when Kings were somewhat knowledgeable in the Teachings of Light. Some were students of the great mystery schools, others had advisors who were. In either case, they administered according to God’s Will, and not the whims of man or the forces of darkness.
We don’t know what group the quote refers to as The Brotherhood of the Chosen Ones of Light, but we do know that such groups have existed throughout the history of man. At some times, and in some places, they operated openly and with the full knowledge of the government. In others, they had to remain secret due to the governments becoming dark and materialistic. In all cases, they were careful to teach only those who would use the knowledge wisely.
