PS to Crew Notes #3: Nautical Metaphor 22nd July 2011
Construction of the Mothership
Terra Navis is a steam-sail ocean liner with a glass bottom, rudder front-rigged.
Steam engines: volcanic-tectonic system, steam venting, including undersea volcanoes and vents.
Sails, comprised of canvas cloth and rigging:
canvas: clouds, air
rigging: electromagnetic field permeating the atmosphere
Front-rigged rudder: earth-moon barycenter, apsidal lines of the moon. Gaian steerage is custom designed for tacking upstream along the spiral arm. Starboard is right, looking inward toward galactic center. Port is left, outward on the spiral arm.
Sophia initiates correction when the lunar apsides, which advance erratically along the zodiac every 8.8 years, are aligned to the apsides of Jupiter which remain fairly steady in this epoch across 15 – 185 ECL: graphically in WHALES – VIRGIN. At the onset of correction, Jupiter passed through its own perihelion (April 6 – 10, 2011, with the mothership directly opposite) and the mothership “comes about” into the new course when she crosses the perihelion of Jupiter on October 8 – 10.
Closest alignment of lunar apogee to Jupiter perihelion: June 24 – July 21 – August 18, 2011. At this time, however, the mothership is idling, not yet under full throttle with props engaged.
THE CORRECTION OF SOPHIA TAKES PLACE IN THE APSIDES OF JUPITER.
APP-suh-DEEZ.
My mission as navigator is to winch the power of human imagination into the rigging of Sophia’s Dreaming so that when the cosmic winds fill her sails, those who are so engaged come about with her on the course correction of her celestial journey: Wisdom’s Dare.
