9 World Chronicles

Nirvana is a Sanskrit word for the goal of the Buddhist path: enlightenment or awakening. In Pali, the language of some of the earliest Buddhist texts, the word is nibbana; in both languages it means literally “extinction” (like a lamp or flame) or “cessation.” It refers to the extinction of greed, ill will, and delusion in the mind, the three poisons that perpetuate suffering. Nirvana is what the Buddha achieved on the night of his enlightenment: he became completely free from the three poisons. Everything he taught for the rest of his life was aimed at helping others to arrive at that same freedom.

Nirvana in Buddhism the state attained by one who has become enlightened and ceased to accumulate karma and hence has won release from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, with its attendant endless human suffering. The blissful state of undifferentiated being or pure illumination lies beyond object if description. Its clarity has been likened in Buddhism to the brilliance of the full moon revealed by the parting clouds.

moksha

(in Hinduism and Jainism) release from the cycle of rebirth impelled by the law of karma.

the transcendent state attained as a result of being released from the cycle of rebirth.

Nirvāṇa     Nirvana literally "blown out", as in an oil lamp is a concept in Indian religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism) that represents the ultimate state of soteriological release, the liberation from repeated rebirth.

In Indian religions, nirvana is synonymous with moksha and mukti.  All Indian religions assert it to be a state of perfect quietude, freedom, highest happiness as well as the liberation from or ending of samsara, the repeating cycle of birth, life and death. However, non-Buddhist and Buddhist traditions describe these terms for liberation differently. In Hindu philosophy, it is the union of or the realization of the identity of Atman with Brahman, depending on the Hindu tradition. In Jainism, nirvana is also the soteriological goal, representing the release of a soul from karmic bondage and samsara. In the Buddhist context, nirvana refers to realization of non-self and emptiness, marking the end of rebirth by stilling the fires that keep the process of rebirth going.

The ideas of spiritual liberation, with the concept of soul and Brahman, appears in Vedic texts and Upanishads,

Nirvāṇa is a term found in the texts of all major Indian religions – Hinduism, Jainism Buddhism, and Sikhism.  It refers to the profound peace of mind that is acquired with moksha, liberation from samsara, or release from a state of suffering, after respective spiritual practice or sadhana.

The Saṃsara, the life after death, and what impacts rebirth came to be seen as dependent on karma

Tibetan Buddhism, and other types of Mahayana Buddhism, the state of nirvana is synonymous with becoming a buddha, or realizing one’s innate buddhahood or buddhanature.

The Th’uban star.

The traditional name of Alpha Draconis, Th’uban, means "head of the serpent."

Th’uban, designation Alpha Draconis, is a binary star system in the constellation of Draco.  Draco is one of the largest constellations in the sky. Located in the northern celestial hemisphere, the constellation represents Ladon, the dragon that guarded.

Thuban is  a relatively inconspicuous star in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, it is historically significant as having been the north pole star from the 4th to 2nd millennium BCE.

The traditional name Thuban is derived from the Arabic  'large snake'.

Symbolism          the Dragon

Main stars           14

Stars with planets            14

Stars brighter than 3.00m             3

Visible at latitudes between +90° and −15°.

Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July.

Th’uban is located at around 303 light-years / 93 parsecs away from the Sun. The primary component star is both more massive and several times bigger than our Sun.

The Pyramids on the Giza Plateau were designed to have one side facing north, with an entrance passage geometrically aligned so that Th’uban would be visible at night.

The Egyptians described these stars as "imperishable" or "undying." Khufu expected that when he died, he would join not only with the Sun, but with Thuban as well - maintaining order in the celestial realm, just as he had on Earth.

This ties into older Sub Saharan mythologies of the Ogdoad role as the progenitors of the cosmos.

There are a number of myths behind the constellation Draco, due to its resemblance to a dragon,

In the famous Sumerian Myth Draco is presented as Tiamat, the sea serpent who existed even before the sea and sky had been divided from each other, the dragon of chaos. the wild form that must be tamed before a new order could be established. This group of stars has always been associated with control of the Universe.

the sea serpent who existed even before the sea and sky had been divided from each other, the dragon of chaos.

In Greek myth Th’uban represents control of immortality and sacred knowledge.

In three separate tales Hercules, Jason each kill dragon for specific target.

Hercules for the Golden Apples that represent immortality, Hera later placed the dragon in the sky as the constellation Draco.

Jason for the Sacred Golden fleece.  

In another legend, Draco represents the dragon killed by Cadmus before founding the city of Thebes, Greece.  Just as Marduk had to kill Tiamat before founding his Kingship.

The Persians regarded Th’uban as a man-eating serpent called 'Azhdeha'.

In alien conspiracy theory the Th’uban star is home to the Annunaki who play the role of the reptile overlords who come to Earth as a Galactic Corporate enterprise. They create mankind as a labor force who they seek to exterminate at several points.

They are opposed by the benevolent Pleiadeans who aid mankind through education and enlightenment. The Pleiadeans are often synchronized as the Vanir of Norse myth.  

The proliferation of Snake deities thought the Hindu belief systems seen as sources of knowledge and medical expertise.

Thu'ban  is personified as a demon who was worshiped as a snake god by pagan Arabs, he was also known variously as Hanash, Hayya and Hubab. Habab being another name for Shaytan.  The demon often took the form of serpents, and they were a sacred totem to the Minaeans of Yemen.

In fantasy literature Th’uban leads the great demon army as a Demon King.

This star was one of the first planetary systems Alpha Draconian Lords conquered. The inhabitants are different kinds of Draco/Reptilian life forms, often giant in shape. These races are commonly mentioned as a cruel conqueror race and deeply involved in Earth's history.

At every point of reference, the Th’uban star is viewed as a source of knowledge or authority. The defeat its influence was to claim lordship or immortality. Only the Sirius star system has had a more profound impact on the religions mythologies and fictions of Earth.

\

If he had succeeded he would have prevented life from forming on earth. In another legend he tried to thwart a horror Mazda by sending a flood to destroy the world. Also recognize in Roman Mithraism.

He is the demon of demons, and dwells in an abyss of endless darkness in the north, the traditional home of the demons. Ignorance, harmfulness, and disorder are the characteristics of Ahriman.

His aim is always to destroy the creation of [Ahura Mazda] and to this end he follows behind the creator's work, seeking to spoil it.

The two Horus of Kemetic/Egyptian mythology

Horus was the celestial Falcon and the embodiment of kingship. The conflict between Horus and Seth the two Lords was an enduring theme an Egyptian mythology.

The name Horace translates to meaning the distant one  but there were two main forms of Horace that appear in Kemetic mythology.

These are sometimes regarded as separate gods belonging to completely different  epox but sometimes has aspects of the same deity.

Horace the great or Horace the elder was a primeval being who initiated creation. As Lord of the Sky his wingspan the heaven, and his eyes were the sun and the moon. This Horus was the son of a Sky goddess either Nut or Hathor. Horace the younger was the son of Isis or Auset who grew up to avenge his murder father who was Osiris and take his place as the ruler of Kemet.

He was usually shown as a Falcon headed man. He represented Kingship Each King of Egypt was acclaimed as a living Horus.

Egypt's earliest Kings were shown as Hawks praying on their enemies. Many Egyptian deities could be represented by birds of the Hawk family. The hawk the cult of some of these gods such as Nekheny  were gradually assimilated with that of Horus.

One of the earliest divine images known from image from Egypt is that of a Falcon in a barque. This represents Horus as a star or planet crossing the winding waterway of the Sky. And later text paint a dazzling picture of “the one of dappled plumage who opened his eyes to dispel both darkness and chaos”.

Like other primary primeval deities the celestial Falcon coalesce with the creator son God.

He then became Ra Horakthy meaning Ra Horace of the double horizon. He  Who triumphed over his enemies to rise in the East. The union of these two powers could be symbolized by a Falcon Crowned with the sun disk or a sun disk with a falcon's wings.

When a King appeared to his subjects it was compared with the glorious rising of Horace in the horizon. The two Lords, Horus and Seth were depicted either as brothers or as nephew uncle.  Many theories have advanced to explain the origins of their combat from memories of an ancient civil War Two observations of storms or astronomical phenomenon.

When the combatants are Horace the elder the celestial Falcon and set the chaotic God of storms the conflict seems to belong to the primeval age 1 opposing element come together to create a divine order. Thus order dominating chaos.

The necessity of Horus and Seth being reconciled is stress in many sources. one of the key images of Royal art was Horus the Uniter Set tying together the plant of upper and lower Kemet to symbolize the union of the two lands into one perfect Kingdom.

although the figure is sometimes replaced with Thoth indicating that Set’s role as the Slayer of Osiris could not be overlooked.

When the great conflict is presented as a dynastic feud between young Horace and his usurper uncle.

Horace must triumph and Seth must be punished so that just kingship can be established for humanity. Horace who was son of Isis was destined to be King from the moment of conception his epitaph Horus who is upon the papyrus alludes to the myth that Auset hid the infant Horace in the papyrus thickets of a hidden island among the Marshes. The nest of Horace was guarded by divine beings such as a cow and scorpion goddess.

The young Horace grew up to become “the pillar of his mother” and “the Avenger of his father”.

 Advised by isis Horus fought Seth in many different ways. He turn set sexual aggression to his own advantage and overcame the temporary loss of power in his eye . Horace argued his father's case before the divine tribunal led by Geb.

Osiris is granted sovereignty over the dead and Horace over the living .

Horace the devoted son becomes the prototype for all funerary priests and performs a series of rituals to rise up Osiris. He also becomes an intermediary between the world of the living and the dead.

Horace is shown in the book of coming forth by day presenting  deceased souls before the throne of Osiris. The reign of Horus as King of Egypt was considered the model for all subsequent rains. The semi divine Kings who came after him in mythological history were called the followers of Horus

 In a few magical test text a scorpion goddess called Ta Bitjet is called the wife of Horus.

 A passage in the coffin text makes Horus the elder and his sister Isis the parents of four protective deities known as the sons of Horus. A festival at Edfu temple celebrate the beautiful union between Horus and Hathor the lady of Dendera. Here Horace is an aspect of the sun God uniting with the goddess to renew the cosmos.

.A mythical history of temples relates how to mysterious being subdued the primeval swamp by cutting down reads. When they struck a Reed in the ground it became a perch for the celestial Falcon, Horus the Elder.

The Reed Hut built to house the Falcon was set to be the center of the world and the first temple.

In the legend of the wing disc Horace the distant one takes the role usually given to the distant goddess and transforms himself into a fiery disc to blind and destroy the sun God's enemies. In the ritual drama known as triumph of Horace. Horus the son of Isis harpoons Seth in his hippopotamus form. After a series of battles by land and water he drives Seth and his followers out of Egypt just  as the Egyptian Kings hoped to drive out foreign invaders.
