Maya Aztec Calendar

Pictured here, is the logo for the Sun in Time program. The foreground consists of the famous Aztec calendar, while the background is an image of the solar corona taken from the ISAS/NASA Yohkoh spacecraft. The Aztec calendar incorporates a mythological and calendrical system derived from earlier Mesoamerican cultures, including the Maya.

The calendar was developed by observing the Sun's motions in the sky over a long period of time.

The Maya/Aztec calendar, which is extremely accurate, began on August 13, 3114 B.C.E1 or 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u in the Mayan language. The Maya concept of time was of circles within circles which only appeared to be linear. The calendar stone shows that we are in the fifth creation, with the four previously destroyed ones surrounding the central figure. The end of the fifth creation of the Maya calendar is on December 23, 2012 of the Current Era (C.E.2).

Arthur Schopenhauer was born in 1788, died in 1860.* His father, Heinrich Schopenhauer, was a wealthy merchant of Dantzic, of strong political opinions, cosmopolitan interests, and independence of thought. His mother was Johanna Schopenhauer, a graceful and refined lady of literary instincts and ambitions, who, after her husband's death, attained to some degree of success as an authoress. From the standpoint of heredity Schopenhauer was unfortunate on the father's side, as there were in the fanner strong tendencies to mental alienation that appeared in the son in the form of eccentricities, groundless fears, and suspiciousness.

On his mother's side he also suffered in environment, for according to Schopenhauer's testimony, her method of dealing with him was unsympathetic. It must be granted that he was not an easy individual to deal with. His mother's butterfly vanity and her selfishness, her method of snubbing, mortifying, and disparaging her son were unfortunate and injurious in their influence. She did not seem to have the true mother instinct of love which Schopenhauer sadly needed. While Kant could recall the tender solicitude and pious influence of a godly and deeply affectionate mother molding his whole life, Schopenhauer could accuse his mother of frivolity and heartlessness. Not that she was positively cruel, but simply lacking in regard for her son.

The Essays of Schopenhauer comprised in this volume are well designated by the title which specially pertains to the first Essay. It will be noticed that the earlier essays are predominantly theoretical or metaphysical, the later practical or ethical. Hence we have in these Essays Schopenhauer's views upon a number of important problems in Metaphysics and Ethics, valuable, as an introduction to his more abstract expositions, to the specialist in philosophy, and yet presented in such a manner as to appeal to the general reader and student of literature.

Among philosophical writers Schopenhauer enjoys the advantage of standing alone. He cannot be classified. He thus escapes being lost in the crowd. It is indeed true that a great deal of what he writes is taken from his predecessors. It is, however, borrowed, not stolen. It is in each case acknowledged and accredited to the original authors, and while it is adopted by Schopenhauer it is so assimilated and transmuted as to become his own, bearing his image and superscription.

He also possesses the advantage of a distinctive and polished literary style. He has a highly developed artistic sense and in accordance with this selects and arranges his material in a form of expression pleasing to his readers. Although a recluse and given to the habit of talking to himself, when he writes he talks to his reader frankly and entertainingly. While he does not even pretend to practice what he preaches in regard to ethical matters, it will be found that his views on the writing of literature are practiced by himself. For instance, note the advice to writers upon the choice of a title. How well has he succeeded in this. Each of his writings has a title appropriate, striking, suggestive, illuminating.

Alpha Ralpha Boulevard High Line (New York City)

A computer, never understood by the Instrumentality, which has reached the status of a God, able to foretell the future. It can only be reached walking a ruined processional highway leading into the clouds, Alpha Ralpha Boulevard, closed to mankind for 10,000 years. The High Line is a 1.45-mile section of a elevated freight railroad, along the lower west side of Manhattan, which has been planted as a greenway. The High Line runs from the 34th Street rail yard, near the Javits Convention Center, through the neighborhood of Chelsea to Gansevoort Street in the West Village.

The High Line was built in the early 1930s by the New York Central Railroad to eliminate the fatal accidents that occurred along the street-level right-of-way and to offer direct warehouse-to-freight car service. It was in active use until 1980.

Title: Men of the old stone age: their environment, life and art. Hitchcock lectures of the University of California, Hitchcock lectures. Author: Henry Fairfield Osborn Edition 2. Publisher: C. Scribner, 1915. Original from the University of California, Digitized: Feb 20, 2007. Length: 545 pages

Altamira (Spanish for 'high view') is a cave in Spain famous for its Upper Paleolithic cave paintings featuring drawings and polychrome rock paintings of wild mammals and human hands. It is located near the town of Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, Spain.

Lines engraved with flint, the surface of the limestone having been previously prepared by the thinning or scraping of the borders (raelage) to heighten the relief of the drawing; then a very strong contour is laid down in black, and this may be followed by a further contour line in red (the use of black and red is very ancient); an ochreous brown color is mixed in, conforming well with what we know to be the tints of the hairy portions of the bison.

Thus gradually a complete polychrome fresco art develops. The final stage of this art follows, in which the filling out of various tones of color requires the use of black, brown, red, and yellowish shades. The underlying or preliminary engraving now begins to recede, being retained only for the tracing in of the final details of the hair, the eyes, the horns, and the hoofs

In the far-off days when the gods dwelt among men, it was necessary that they should have some one to act as their agent and to be their messenger. On account of his special fitness, Mercury was chosen. For it is said that Mercury, who was the patron god of merchants, was very shrewd in making a bargain. Indeed, there were few men who could beat this youth in making a trade, so that the gods fared very well in their dealing with men. Whenever he was sent far away as a messenger, he put on his winged cap and bound on his winged sandals. Then taking the magic wand, which Apollo had given him, and throwing over his shoulders the cloak which made him invisible, he flew like the wind to do his errand.

Mercury did not have to work all the time; and one day, wandering by the seashore, his sandal struck a shell. It gave out a pretty sound. Then Mercury thought that if he could put strings upon it, he could draw from it sweet music. This he did, and he called the beautiful instrument a lyre. This lyre he gave to Apollo in exchange for the caduceus, or magic wand.

Mercury's business was not all with mortals on earth; sometimes his errands took him to the dark regions under the earth. It was Mercm-y who went to Pluto's realm to bring back to Ceres her daughter Proserpina. And it was he who guided the worn-out souls of men through the dark parts of Hades, past the gates of the sun, and out into the flowery meads of asphodel.

THE CADUCEUS, OR THE MAGIC WAND.

Apollo, the half brother of Mercury, was the god of light and music. He, too, had invented a stringed musical instrument, and he felt that Mercury's lyre should belong to him. So one day, after Mercury had been playing some mischievous pranks that greatly annoyed him and had merrily pleaded innocence, Apollo said : —

" I forgive you. In token of our friendship, let us exchange gifts. I will give you my magic wand, and you give me your lyre. But you must promise to give up with it the power to move men by sweet sounds. I, in turn, will yield to you the power that lies in this magic wand. It can bring harmony and peace out of discord and strife. Wherever animals or people are quarreling, you need only to cast this wand before them, and quarrels will cease."

So the exchange was made, and ever after Apollo carried the lyre, or harp, — the emblem of music; and Mercury carried the caduceus, or magic wand, — the emblem of friendship and peace.

One day Mercury threw the wand on the ground where two snakes were fighting. They at once twined lovingly about it. And ever after Mercury kept them there in token of the power of the wand.
