<div style="text-align: justify;">As a continuation of <a href="http://circumsolatious.blogspot.com/2011/03/cataclysms-and-preservation-of.html">'Cataclysms and the Preservation of Knowledge'</a>, I will present below some evidence that should give readers reason enough to consider that the story of Noah's Ark of is not about an actual boat of animals in the literal sense, but rather a symbolic reference to the animal-laden circle (vessel) of life, i.e. the 360° zodiac.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ToIBAhnQsDM/SuSafw_luWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/1P_Ge2C99ag/s1600/135-Flower-Square-web.gif" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ToIBAhnQsDM/SuSafw_luWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/1P_Ge2C99ag/s200/135-Flower-Square-web.gif" width="200" border="0" height="191"/></a> This symbolic vessel, whose main-frame is the <a href="http://circumsolatious.blogspot.com/2011/03/japans-90-earthquake-super-moon-and.html" style="color: #990000;">0/9 number-system</a> and the cardinal cross and 12 months of the Earth's year, can be seen as a system or way of preserving eternal knowledge of the 360° field and structure of time and space ... a way of preserving the divine <i>maya</i> (measure) of the Individual, Earth, and Cosmos. This 'vessel' can endure in the face of cataclysms, because it can be eternally rediscovered by humans, based on the geometries and dynamics of the Earth, Solar System and Cosmos. It is a seed/symbol of the unified field the individual is born from and born into. The potential contained in this seed/symbol is that the individual and the collective will evolve, in due course of time, to embody the consciousness of a dynamic Unity ... of a dynamic Wholeness. It is a symbol key not only of material knowledge, but also knowledge of the soul, spirit and destiny of the Earth and its creatures in the course of time. . . .</div>
