"All machinery is derived from nature, and is founded on the teaching and instruction of the revolution of the firmament." [Marcus Vitruvius Pollio]
The concept of the firmament as a veil or barrier between the physical and spiritual realms
has been found in a number of philosophical and mystical traditions. In Gnosticism, for
example, the firmament was thought to be a realm of spiritual ignorance or deception
that separated the material world from the realm of spiritual truth. In some forms of
Kabbalah, the firmament is seen as a barrier between the world of creation and the
infinite light of God. In Hermeticism, the firmament is often associated with the concept
of the "Astral Light," which is seen as a kind of universal medium or field of energy that
permeates all things and serves as a link between the physical and spiritual realms. [ChapGPT via Daniel Stupa]
Nikola Tesla
"Earth is a kingdom, not a planet. It is not an object, hence it has no edge. Earth would be easier to define as a systemic medium. Earth is also a machine, it is a Tesla coil.
The sun and moon are wirelessly powered by an electromagnetic field (Aether). This field also suspends the celestial spheres by electromagnetic levitation.
Electromagnetic levitation disproves gravity because the only force you have to oppose is the electromagnetic force, not gravity. The stars are attached to the firmament." [Nikola Tesla]
