Late Harvest Moon

[TechStuf]

The northern limit of the moon's declination as exhibited in the college texts is 28.5 degrees.... as shown in the URL earlier in the thread.

If all is as it once was, then there isn't a thing about which to be concerned.


I stand by the prolific evidences provided.

TechStuf and WilbyInebriated,

first of all I want to thank you both for an hilariously entertaining exchange of arguments,
this thread have frequently made me almost falling off my chair laughing.

Now, do not for a moment think that I disregard the seriously proposed supposition that something
may be wrong with our 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth axis.

But there is a very simple way to check the validity of all this, thereby ending this funny
discussion between the two of you.

Just check the star Polaris, the North Star.  If this star is changing its position, you are definitely right TechStuf,
since the North Star never will change its location in the night sky as long as the tilt of our Earths axis stays normal.

But if the North Star keeps its location unaltered, this thread unfortunately loses its major drive.

Just check the star Polaris, the North Star.  If this star is changing its position, you are definitely right TechStuf, since the North Star never will change its location in the night sky as long as the tilt of our Earths axis stays normal.

The Sun and moon are easily verifiable as appreciably wayward from their former courses regardless of what the north star may or may not appear to be doing for the relative observer.

As countless videos around the world can attest, the sun's rise/set position and rise/set angles have changed dramatically in recent years.

Keep your faith fixed on the north star, such as it is Gwandau, and though being highly entertained, you will fail to connect to the most important dots of your life's personal puzzle.


What, to you is funny, Gwandau.....will soon not be.  Neither to you, nor any honest person.

OK, TechStuf, I understand you are taking things in life very seriously. I don´t.

You have to allow yourself to laugh ones in awhile, even at yourself. Otherwise you risk becoming
a nagging old crone with an important ego crushing the very joy out of you.

If Earths tilt still is normal, which is perfectly verifyable by checking the North Star,
which I will do as soon as the cloudy skies are leaving my area, what then may cause this change
of paths of the Sun and the Moon, that you seem so sure about?


Hopefully you are aware of that we are still in the wake of the so called Major Lunar Standstill, causing the rising and
setting of the Sun and the Moon to appear further south and north than usual.

With the culmination of the 18.6-year cycle of the Moon in 2006 and again in 2024-25, also called the Major Lunar Standstill, 
we are afforded the unique opportunity to observe the monthly, annual, and 18.6-year wanderings of the Moon.
The 18.6-year cycle is caused by the precession of the plane of the lunar orbit, while this orbit maintains a 5° tilt relative to the ecliptic.

Still, it never passes beyond the 28.8 degree limit, so even this would be a piece of cake to check. Will do this as soon as
possible.

If I am able to confirm your observations, this may indicate a lot of things, but not neccesarily the Doomsday scenario depicted by the people who wrote the Bible.

Personally I seem to have a somewhat more open position versus the Intent that may be behind our existense than the self important Christian view.

Remember, Nobody, not even you, do really Know what this reality is all about. It's is a mystery beyond anyones grasp,
and this mystery is as far as I am concerned the very beauty behind our existence.

If your aim is to be a true spiritual being, throw away all dogmas and open up to the beauty of the Mystery.

Organized religions are anti-spiritual prisons making the devotee believe he is home.

True spirituality is being  poised in the middle of an eternal universe with an open mind and an open heart,
taking full responsibility for ones own actions.

Religious Books are baits of the controlling mind, you are a lot closer to God when alone in unspoiled nature.

OK, TechStuf, I understand you are taking things in life very seriously. I don´t.

A nugget of wisdom that applies to nearly everyone.  I am simply taking the things in this life that I believe to be serious.....(insert drum roll here)....

Seriously!

Do you mean to imply I take everything seriously?  If not, then your statement is wholly moot.  If so, then who is being too serious, judgmental?  There is One Who will judge us all.

Still, it never passes beyond the 28.8 degree limit, so even this would be a piece of cake to check. Will do this as soon as
possible.

To me, one of the saddest mysteries in life is how so many individuals can immerse themselves in mysteries, avoiding Useful Truths, and end up playing the mystified traitors to their own souls......

Like these guys below, who among myriad others, worship at the feet of their "worshipful masters" in the mystery schools:

I'll take the Word of God, spoken or written, any day.  Those plain Truths so simple, a child can understand them.   For all that is founded upon anything else, will fall.  And as for the Christian view being "self important" as you say.....then you obviously never studied the words of Christ who taught against self importance and exemplified His Teaching by His Perfect actions.  The rest of us, all, are hypocrites, in dire need of adhering to His Supreme example.

I choose to take Him at His Word that He will come soon to redeem those Judged redeemable, and that the signs now taking place are in direct fulfillment of His Promise.

There will be plenty of time for me to "Lighten Up" upon His Arrival.  Until then, I share the Truth as I know it to be, with as many as will see and hear.


Mysteries be damned. 


For there is not a thing now hidden that will not soon be uncovered.  All things will be revealed......for who and what they really are.
