Bridging the Gap

 بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Surah 85 Al.Buruj (Zodiac/Constellations)
85:1   وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

85:1 By the Sky Related Constellations

Surah 37 As,Saffat (Those Ranged/Ranked)
١٦٤  وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا لَهُ مَقَامٌ مَعْلُومٌ
١٦٥  وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الصَّافُّونَ

37:164 "There is not one of us but has a known station/position/situation.
37:165 And indeed we are the (clearly) ranked (pure/arrangers)."

Surah 53 An.Najm النجم (The Star/Revelation)

Sirius and Sagittarius

53:1 By the Star as it sets. {The brightest star in the night sky would have been Sirius with a remarkable regular heliacal rising. With a period of 365.25 days it is essentially constant relative to the solar year.}
53:2 Your friend has not gone astray, nor has he erred.
53:3 Nor does he speak out of his own desire.
53:4 It is but a Revealed Inspiration.
53:5 Taught to him by one Extremely Powerful.
53:6 The one of vigor. He settled. {The one of vigor would have been none other than the Angel Jibrael (pbuh) since he bears the Will of God, he must have the strength to carry out his mission. fa.astawa has as its root the word استوة which means the Equator, so that Jibrael was either at the Equator or the Celestial Equator at the time of Revelation to the Prophet. Here rendered as 'settled', but it would mean that he landed on Earth. And it's really something to see these guys coming down, it's as if the Earth rises up under their feet and they just walk it.}
53:7 While he was at the highest horizon.{Sirius reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight every New Year's Eve. For this reason, it might also be called the New Year's star. It was important to the Egyptians in timing the flooding of the Nile and to the Polynesians who used it for navigation.} 
53:8 Then he drew near (lowered) and dropped down.{Muhammad (pbuh) must have witnessed Jibrael alighting where he would appear as a sky object, sometimes a formation in the clouds, sometimes something more solid form.}
53:9 He was within 2 bows' length, or closer. {Two bows' lengths by Earth measure is approximately 120 inches if the average bow length is taken to be 60"-- a distance of roughly 3 meters. On the astral plane, it would be a reference to The Archer, Sagitarrius, whose bow is defined by the endpoints lambda Sgr and epsilon Sgr, a distance of about 16.8 LY apart, and twice the bows' length would mean roughly 32.5 LY. That both Sirius and Sagittarius figure in this passage must mean there was conjunction at the time. Since we are given that Sirius was at its highest point in the sky at the time, the Sun would have been in Sagittarius anytime from the 3rd week of November to the 2nd week of January, which would still coincide with New Year's Eve and Sirius being at its highest point.}
53:10 Then he revealed (inspired) to his servant what he revealed (inspired).

28 Qasas (Stories)

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاء مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ امْرَأتَيْنِ
تَذُودَانِ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِي حَتَّى يُصْدِرَ الرِّعَاء وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ 28:23

28:1 tta.siin.miim
.
.
.
28:23 And when he (Moses) arrived at the Waters/Wells (مَاء also matter) of Madyan (مَدْيَنَ a location that happens to sound like median) he found there ( وَجَدَ there was/present) a portion ( أُمَّةً some; Nation) of the populace ( النَّاسِ people) Watering ( يَسْقُونَ ) and there was from among them ( مِن دُونِهِمُ not including them) 2 Women avoiding ( تَذُودَانِ keeping away/defending) it. He said, 'Why are you not Watering?{ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا not systemic (part of the system)/universal /complete; literally خَطْ بُكُمَا == line of you; مَا خَطْ بُكُمَا no line of yours}? She said, 'We do not water (our flock) until the herdsman ( الرِّعَاء shepherds) issue (forth) { يُصْدِرَ they leave; recede/number}, and our Father ( وَأَبُونَا our father/basis/foundation) is an Important Sheik ( شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ Primary Person; Big Chief/Very Old Man)."

The first verse in Surah 28 is a set of muqati3't unique to the surah. Tta, siin, miim with abjad values 9, 60 or 300, 40, respectively. There are 88 signs in this surah, which happens to be the number of constellations officially recognized by the IAU. 

Taking the 3 values (9,60,40) as a vector in polar coordinates r~72.67 theta~56.60 degrees psi~81.47 degrees. Taken as RA theta ~3h 46m and RA psi ~5h 25m. Taking the 3 values (9,300,40) as a vector in polar coordinates r~302.79 theta~82.41 degrees psi~88.28 degrees. Taken as RA theta ~5h 29m and RA psi ~5h 53m. At 5-6h is Columba, the Dove and also Orion,  and 3-4h coincides with Cetus ~3h 23m (that shares the sky with nearby water signs Aquarius, Pisces and Eridanus ~3.25h).

It is clear from the passage 28:23 that Moses (see reference to Altair) encounters a pair of women, not necessarily twins but that they occur as a set of 2 may be taken as a reference to Gemini, at a source of water, a well, associated with Aquarius that was occasioned by a crowd of people, herdsman. That may be a reference to Bootes or shepherds which is the more likely reference to Altair, especially given the words of the women that they could not water their flock until the crowd  يُصْدِرَ yu.sdr.a which has embedded the name of the star Sadr to mean that they recede or finish watering their animals. {This would be another link between Altair and Sadr and their relationship in the Summer Triangle and the Northern Cross.}

On a cosmic scale Gemini does not approach Aquarius without Altair acting as mediator, and this is understood in the context of 37:164 and 37:165 that each knows their assigned position and that they do not break ranks. Or that Gemini does not take its turn at the wells or at Aquarius until Altair has receded as far as Sadr.

Cancer

From English/Arabic
Cancer/سرطان

Chinese (Simplified)

Jiu-->huge

Xie -->crab

Zuo -->seat

Jiu
------}سرطان-->secret.ttan &Arabic/Korean tan-->address, tackle, deal with
Xie

And the word سرطان in Arabic absent the ا is سرطن-->means carcinogen

from Latin carcinoma, "a propagating malignant tumor," 1721, from Greek karkinoma "a cancer," from karkinos "a cancer," literally "a crab" (see cancer) + -oma. Related: Carcinomatous. The classical plural is carcinomata.

From the root for cancer meaning 'crab' karkino-gen, the suffix -gen derives from gene- to generate or produce. In this case carci.no.gen negates the growth of a carcinoma.

It bears further investigation how this may, however, promote actual crab growth (the shellfish), taking the alternative control of karkino-gen.

There may even be more to the story, in that the crab itself associated with cancer (the disease) also sources the cure for it, worthwhile investigating is the molted shell without having to unduly harvest crabs for the investigation.

Arabic/Finnish-->Japanese (interesting to note that (s)yopa it is almost a phoneme for yaba(n) which is the Arabic word for Japan or Japanese

سرطان/syöpä-->Gan 癌-->

------------>キャンサー--->kyansa////ki/turbocharger/N/S/-~~cat/Kansa/Sensor-

--->Chinese~Mao/tu/yao....//cat applicator....cat/painted/medicine/device

From the language analysis it appears there is something in cat scent glands or saliva (they paint with it when they groom themselves or mark their territory) is linked to the word application (which they apply with their tongues when licking or their fur when rubbing against something or each other)may have an application to the disease.

There is no need to experiment on any human subjects since the substance can be isolated (it may be colorless or white) and applied to a culture of cells to see its efficacy in mitigating the cancer.

Seeing Doubles

The women pictured above are not any direct relation to me, however, their uncanny resemblence to my birth Mother and my Daughter are more than just a passing interest.

I don't even know how I chanced on the image of Nevada Stoody (Duchess of Oporto), I wasn't searching for her, and I remember thinking it odd that in that particular image she looked alot like my mom, although not so much in other pictures of her.

The image of the Paris Woman, by Dennis Hopper, I had come across when looking into the retrospective of his art exhibit soon after he passed away last year, and it floored me how much His muse looks like my daughter, born 5 years prior to the 1994 date of this particular artwork.

On seeing Nevada's image and my mentioning the likeness to my daughter's grandmother, my daughter said, 'Is that why you're so pretty, Mom?'

And it being a mutual admiration society, I countered, 'That's why You're so pretty, daughter; and then look at Dennis Hopper's muse!'

Then she said, 'Yeah, that one is weird, she does look just like me.'

And then she asks how that could even be possible and answers her own question, 'Maybe it's because there is something to us all coming from just the one pair. Or maybe, it's just some kind of weird dream we are all having.'

She goes on to say, 'Whenever I say things like that to Dad, he says, 'There you go, sounding just like your mother!''

And then she says, 'You mean, I sound like a Scientist?'

And then I think-- more like, sober.

To get to the Science behind these Dopplegangers (convincing doubles, anyway), we need to take a closer look.

خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا

 وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ الْأَنْعَامِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ

 يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِن بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ

 ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ (39:6

39:6 He Created you (all) from One (singular/united) Soul, then Brought forth from Her (that Soul) Her Mate/Spouse/Dual; and He Propagated/Revealed/Sent Down to you (all) of/from Blessings/Affirmations (usually al.'an3am'  الْأَنْعَام     is interpreted as 'Cattle', but does not make sense in this context, so here rendered as secondary meanings having to do with 'affirmation/yes/aye/agreement?') 8 Pairs/duals/mates; He Creates you (all) in your mothers' stomachs (wombs) (one) Creation after another Creation, in a threefold darkness/mystery; This Is Allah, Your Sustainer, To Whom Belongs The Dominion; There is No God Except for Him; How is it that you are (all) so misguided/lost/wasted?

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ
 وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاء
 وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءلُونَ بِهِ وَالأَرْحَامَ
 إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا4:1

(4:1) Harken! All You People! Pay careful attention to your Sustainer Who Created You (all) from One Soul (singular/united) and Created from Her ('soul' is feminine gender in Arabic) Her Mate/Dual/Spouse and broadcast from them Men in multitudes and Women; and heed God (by whom) you demand mutual rights (from each other) and (respect) the wombs (that bore you); indeed, God Is Ever Watchful over you. (رَقِيبًا  raqib, means Observes/Watchful but also implies a 'sergeancy' (serves a protective duty))

Sign 4:1, from Sura 4, The Women, makes mention of our common ancestry from one 'integrated' soul. The theme of having been created out of one 'living entity' is repeated in Signs 7:189 and 6:98; that the 'living entity' is a 'man+woman' is mentioned in 49:13.

And given that ancestry and heredity are closely linked to chromosomes, it would not be a great stretch to take Sign 4:1 as the Choromosome Number 4: Region 1 (either p or q arm; but since the p arm has only 1 region for the human chromosome 4, I would assume this particular sign is pointing something out in that region that has to do with "tasa' luna bihi" which breaks down to something like "T sa' loena bihi wa al.arhham' , 'T's color is worsened by (it) and the wombs/matrices', or 'its color worsens by it and the wombs/matrices' , variably 'T-C (ar. letter seen--as in cytosin) Termination color..."

A geneticist may have some insight into what the God/controller is in this particular region or chromosome 4 that behaves in such a manner, and it also functions as a protection/something that serves to protect or discharges other duties akin to those of a 'sergeant' and further that it serves as a 'marker' ('marker', 'sergeant', 'watches/observes/control/oversee/proctor//blue-pencil (edits)' all derive from رقيبا /رقيبه  raqiba, raqibah,  and the absolute form raqibat means 'stake-holder'; and, the simple root rqb رقب means 'neck').

Sign 39:6 in Chapter 39, Az_Zumar (The Groups), can be treated the same way as 4:1 paying careful attention to the word الْأَنْعَام      al.an3am, that while it does mean cattle and points to '8- couples/pairs/espoused twosome' ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ,  something these 'cattle' have in common/differ is also associated with the secondary meaning of al.an3am's of it having to do with several variants:

• the root n3m نْعَم  v. to refine/improve/enhance/polish/upgrade/perfect/cultivate/hone
• نعم the same word without the diacritic marks means 'yes', an affirmative/positive/absolute/agreement
• نعام  or نْعَام  na3am means 'ostrich'; some genetically remarkable characteristics of which include: 

acute eyesite and hearing; the fastest animal on 2 legs (run over 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) for up to 30 minutes); have just two toes on each foot ( an adaptation that seems to aid in running, most birds have four),  the nail on the larger, inner toe resembles a hoof (found in cattle/horses/ungulates) and the outer toe has no nail; the largest eyes of any land vertebrate and they are shaded from sunlight falling from above; largest egg of any living bird; female ostrich can pick out their own eggs from communal nests. The word 'ostrich' derives from the Latin word for 'camel'.

• لْأَنْعَام la.an3am with diacritica لانعام  seems to mean 'to fully' and without the diacritic marks لأنعم ' to softer' which would indicate making something most flexible/pliable or have the most plasticity.
• and finally, the full word الْأَنْعَامِ   al.an3am(i) primarily meaning 'cattle'

Of which  8-pairs have been proferred to Humanity. 8-pairs that are in agreement (like matching autosomes? that are somehow associated with 'cattle'). Makes one wonder what the 8 types of cattle share chromosome-ally speaking? Cattle, or hoofed animals/ungulates is an order of mammals, of which 6 to 8 survive.

Recent sequencing of bovine genome has determined that cows have 22,000 genes, and 80% of bovine genes are shared with humans--ie., that cows are much more similar to humans than rodents. (Do the 8 pairs (matching/affirmatives) mentioned here add up to that 80%?)

The Human DNA is comprised of 46 chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, half are contributed by the mother and the complementary half by the father).

If counted individually, and taking the maternal chromosomes first, then autosome #39 is the maternal portion of chromosome 20, which happens to be metacentric, (no luck finding a diagram of chromosome 20, so presumably there is a region 6).

The indication being that these shared 8 pairs have characteristics that enhance/refine the human; makes for plasticity/pliability when 'matrixed' or in the womb (?is it what makes infants 'softer' or more completely 'pliant' that they are able to pass through the birth canal in humans?)

But the really interesting synchronicity is the shared human/bovine DNA and that this post is about body doubles/clones and my having read the sci-fi novel The House of the Scorpion by Francis Farmer a few years ago (a great read) in which clones were propagated using cows. I wonder how much of this information was available to the author at the time of her writing the book and how much of it she had contrived only to see the related Truth of it some time later.

The Arabic word for womb and matrix is the same, and according to the online etymology dictionary the word matrix drives from the following:

late 14c., from O.Fr. matrice, from L. matrix (gen. matricis) "pregnant animal," in L.L. "womb," also "source, origin," from mater (gen. matris) "mother." Sense of "place or medium where something is developed" is first recorded 1550s; sense of "embedding or enclosing mass" first recorded 1640s. Logical sense of "array of possible combinations of truth-values" is attested from 1914.

The logical sense is the most captivating here in that the reference in Sign 39:6 to 'affirmations'/agreement' or 'yes' for the word an3am is very closely related to 'truth-values' of which there are 2; either 0=False or 1=True, and is would appear that what was selected is the 'matching' or pairs that agreed, 0 for 0, 1 for 1; and, again, of which there are 8 pairs.

Then, I write as I choke back the tears, guess who's doppleganger this is?

Complete with 3aba' عباءة

How'd They Do That?

And here is the maternal contribution to your name:

Starting with the letter '3ayn' ع:

The letter name for which is derived from Proto-Semitic *ʿayn- "eye", and the Phoenician letter had an eye-shape, ultimately derived from the ı͗r hieroglyph.

To this day, 'ayin in Hebrew, Arabic and Maltese means "eye" (‘ayno in Assyrian).

The second syllable is taken as (ab) then it means 'water' in Persian, and it means Father in Arabic, a root that more than likely derives from the ancient word in Egyptian (nb) for Lord + Master. (In combination with the '3ayn' ع, it forms words meaning 'spring' or 'well' and 'Father's /Master's/Lord's Eye'. 

If the second syllable is taken to be (n.ab) then there is a root in ancient Egyptian  'nb' which means "All". Interesting in that the phoneme N in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs is the 'water ripple' and is also used as a preposition from, in, by, to...

Taken as a whole, it is what's known as Ziziphus zizyphus , a fruiting shade tree, commonly called jujube.  The Arabic name for which sidr, and sadr, appears in the Quran Surah 53 (Najm. Revelation, The Star) and Surah 56 (The Event) as one of the trees the denizens of Paradise will find themselves surrounded by:

 عِندَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى  (53:14  
عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى (53:15) 
     إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى (53:16  
مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى (53:17)

53:14 (He met Him) by the Lote Tree of the Farthest Limit (Sidrat al-Muntaha)

53:15 Near it is the Garden Haven (Sanctuary, Resting Place, Abode)

53:16 The Sidra (Lote Tree) Distorted/Simulated/Blurred any Distortion/Blur/Haze/Syncope

53:17 His (The Prophet's) Eye (vision) did not waver/evade/avoid nor dominate/control (it)

Sign 53:14 refers to one point at which The Prophet (pbuh) met Gabriel during one of His descents, at the Sidrat al-Muntahā (Arabic: سدرة المنتهى‎) -- a Lote tree that marks the end of the seventh heaven, the boundary where no creation can pass (and do You wanna know why no one can pass? Because if You do manage such a feat and find Yourself at God's Doorstep, God Himself acts like no One's ever died before and hijacks Your spaceship and brings You right back down to Earth where You (or at least I) keep wishing this persistent after image would all just go away!--that's why).

stream-milky-way

In general, the Milky Way is regarded as the astral river and recently scientists have  found a segment of the Milky Way where the stretches of star clusters stay close together, some clusters have enough mass to remain stuck together, and sometimes the clusters form stellar streams, which are river-like stretches of stars that orbit the galaxy.

“Astronomers have been looking at, and through, this new stream for a long time, as it covers most of the night sky, but only now realize it is there,” he explained in a press release.

“As soon as we investigated this particular group of stars in more detail, we knew that we had found what we were looking for: A coeval, stream-like structure, stretching for hundreds of parsecs across a third of the entire sky,” researcher Verena Fürnkranz said. “It was so thrilling to be part of a new discovery.”

-In the Chinese astrological myth of the weaver girl and the  shepherd (or cowherd) where Vega (a name that derives from the النَّسْر الوَاقِع ‎Arabic word al.nasr.al qaqi'3 for Falling Eagle) is represented by the weaver-girl and the shepherd by Altair (a word that derives from the Arabic word for Flyer and is located in the Eagle constellation Aquila), their tale of forbidden love is that they are united  annually in clear weather by a bridge formed by a flock of magpies on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month over the celestial river (formed by the Milky Way) that separates them. (It is interesting to note that the magpie was once associated with one of the southern bird constellations, the toucan, but Tucana is the 

more widely accepted reference and that magpies are related to crows and ravens, )and thus the constellation Corvus.

  If it rains they await their meeting  

  until the following year and raindrops are said to be the tears shed by the weaver-girl longing for  uniting with her love.

The Milky Way river is also referenced in the Chinese Zodiac having run a race to see which animals can cross the celestial river fastest and their place in the race determines the order of the Chinese Zodiac}.

After the preamble 20:1 through 20:8 addressing Muhammad pbuh, the stories of Moses and then Adam ensue, and then 20:98 through 20:135 are again directed at Muhammad and His message.

Surah 20:9-20:16

20:9 And has the story of Moses reached you?{This sign has abjad value for ط 9 and is about Moses}
20:10 When he saw fire, he said to his people (family), "Stay, I've seen fire that I bring you a plug from it or find guidance by the fire." {Here  بِقَبَسٍ b.qbs means a plug or socket, or a live connection which is the contemporary meaning, having once been understood as a burning brand.}
20:11 Upon reaching it We called, "O, Moses!"
20:12 "Indeed, I Am your Lord. Take off your shoes. You are in the sacred valley Tuwa." {The name of the valley طُوًى means pleat or fold, other meanings include: double, replicate, and double back, that seem to indicate Moses encountered tay-al-ard at this place and time.}
20:13 "I have chosen you, so listen to what is inpired (revealed)" {The word wahi يُوحَىٰ rooted in yu.whi means a state of vigilant inspiration, which is how God communicates with his people and how Revelation is handed down.}
20:14 "I Am. I Am Allah. There is no God but I. So worship/serve/follow Me and establish prayer for my Remembrance."
20:15 "The Hour is coming. I scheme to keep it hidden--so that each soul will be paid for its endeavors." {More than anything, this particular sign indicates that everything in God's sight has already happened and that we experience time and our life as a mechanism for justice to be carried out. This sign is 3ه.}
20:16 "So, do not let him who does not believe in it and follows his own desire stop you, lest you regress."{Here فَتَرْدَىٰ means to regress or fall back, which indicates not believing in the final Hour pre-empts advancement. And Moses is to continue to believe in it despite going back to a people that do not and he would encounter things being said and done not knowing or believing the Hour is neigh--a live test for Moses.}

Surah 20:17-20:25

20:17 "And what is that in your right hand, O, Moses?"
20:18 He said, "This is my staff (stick), I lean on it and herd my sheep with it, and have other uses for it."
20:19 He said, "Drop (throw) it, O Moses."
20:20 So he threw it, thereupon it became a snake moving. {While حَيَّةٌ تَسْعَىٰ can be understood to mean a moving snake, literally, it has other meaning, including 'alive + nine' and 'alive + seeking' which can also mean that the stick defracted into 9 and became animated.}
20:21 He said, "Take (Hold) it and don't be afraid, We will restore (return) it to its original condition." {سِيرَتَهَا الْأُولَىٰ literally means 'its first life' here rendered 'original condition.'}
20:22 "And enfold your hand to your side (wings) it will come out white without blemish, another sign."
20:23"That We may show you some of our Great Signs."
20:24 "Go to Pharaoh, he transgressed."
20:25 He said, "My Lord, expound my breast." { اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي ashrah.li.ssadri literally means 'slice open my chest' an idiomatic expression meaning to explain what is in one's heart or elucidate what is hidden in one's heart.That it also references Sadr, the Hen's Breast in Cygna is especially interesting.}


Surah 20:26-20:36

20:26 "And facilitate my mission for me.

20:27 And untie the knot from my tongue. {This sign number is 3 ط and appeals for God to remedy a condition Moses had, whether it was a speech impediment or he gets 'tongue tied' and is not given to oration is not clear.}

20:28 So they can understand my speech.

20:29 And appoint an advisor for me from my family.

20:30 Aaron, my brother.

20:31 Strengthen my visit with him. { أَزْرِي means visit, some interpret it as to simply give him strength.}

20:32 And have him share my mission.

20:33 That we may glorify you much.

20:34 And remember you much.

20:35 You are ever watchful of us."

20:36 He said, "I grant you your request, O Moses."

20:37-20:40

20:37 "And we had favored you another time.

20:38 When we inspired your mother with an inspiration.

20:39 'Cast him into a chest and cast him in the river, the river will wash him on the bank, there an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will take him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My Eye. {That the river Moses was cast into on Earth has a celestial counterpart in the Milky Way is also bolstered by the fact that Moses was a shepherd affiliated with the star Altair in the Chinese astrology myth of the weaver-girl and the shepherd (oxherd).

20:40 And your sister walking by said, 'Shall I lead you to someone who will care for him?' So we restored you to your mother that she may be content and not grieve. And you killed someone and we saved you from distress and tried you with a trial. And you stayed years with the people of Median (Madyan). The you came as ordained, O Moses." {That God had kept watch over Moses all these years means the conference or bridge between their worlds is established regularly, and if we gather that Moses is associated with Altair, then God would be reaching out from Vega across a bridge that is facilitated either by Corvus or Tucana (depending on whether we assume the relationship between the magpies of the Chinese lore with the related species or with one of the southern bird constellations once mentioned as magpie but reverted to toucan.)}

Surah 20:41-20:48

20:41 "And I Made you for myself.

20:42 Go, you and your brother with my signs, and don't forget my Remembrance.

20:43 Go to Pharaoh, indeed he transgressed.

20:44 And speak to him leniently (softly/mildly) perhaps he may remember or have fear."

20:45 They said, "Our Lord, indeed we fear he may persecute us or transgress (become violent)."

20:46 He said, "Fear not. I am with you both, I hear and I see.

20:47 So go to him and say, 'We are messengers from your Lord, so send with us B'Nai Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from you Lord. And peace be upon whoever follows the guidance.

20:48 Indeed, it has been revealed to us that punishment is for whoever denies and turns away.'"

Surah 20:49-20:56

20:49 He said, "Who is your Lord, O Moses?"

20:50 He said, "Our Lord is He Who created everything its shape and then guides it."

20:51 He (Pharaoh) said, "Then what of the former generations?" {qarn are centuries or years and oola means first, so Pharoah is asking what of the 'ancients' or first generations, as if to say 'whatever happened to them that they did not come back'.}

20:52 He (Moses) said, "Knowledge is with my Lord, in a Book. He neither errs nor forgets."

20:53 He who created the Earth for you as a cradle and traced (served/wired/cabled) for you traces (roadways) and sent down from the sky water (rain, ma'), thereby emerging variety of pairs from plants.

20:54 Eat and pasture your livestock (an3'am). Indeed, in that are signs for those who reason.

20:55 From it (the Earth) We Created you and into it We return you, and from it We will emerge you some other time. {Here tara ukhra is rendered 'some other time', literally 'sometime again.'}

20:56 And We certainly showed Pharoah all our Signs, but he denied and refused.

Surah 20:57- 20:63

20:57 He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?

20:58 For we can surely bring you magic like it. So make between us and you, that we will not fail to keep and neither will you, at an agreed place."

20:59 He (Moses) said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble (in the) morning." {Here dhuha is rendered as morning, but it may have been an exact time of day. And as far as ancient festivals and since the Milky Way (river) and Altair figure prominently in this Surah with the surmised Merciful God (20:5) coming from Vega if we follow the story of the Chinese lore, then the day of the festival may have fallen on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month of the Chinese calendar, Qixi that is still celebrated on August 7, 2019 as of this writing and August 25, 2020 upcoming year.}

20:60 So Pharaoh went away, put together his scheme, and then came (to Moses).

20:61 Moses said to them (the magicians), "Woe to you! Do not languish on Allah a lie for He will satisfy you with a punishment, He disappoints those who slander."

20:62 So they disputed their mission amongst themselves and kept their conversation private.

20:63 They said, "These are indeed two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your exemplary way."

Surah 20:64 - 20:70

20:64 "So gather your scheme, and come in line. And he succeeded today who overcomes."

20:65 They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."

20:66 He said, "Rather, you throw." Then suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him by their magic to move (in a seeking/writhing fashion, again the word tas3'a also meaning 9).

20:67 And he sensed within himself fear (apprehension), did Moses.

20:68 We said, "Fear not! Indeed, you are the superior. {a3'la literally means higher, that is to say Moses had the upper hand or was on higher ground than the magicians.}

20:69  And throw what is in your right hand, it will swallow up (stop/catch) what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but a trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."

20:70 So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses!"

Surah 20:71-20:74

20:71 He (Pharaoh) said, "You believe in him before I gave you permission?! Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in punishment and more enduring."

20:72 They said, "We will not prefer you to the proofs that have come to us, and Him who created us. So issue whatever judgment you wish to issue. You can only rule in this lowly life.

20:73 We have believed in our Lord, so that He may forgive us our sins, and the magic you have compelled us to practice. Allah is Better, and more Lasting."

20:74 Whoever comes to his Lord guilty, for him is Hell, where he neither dies nor lives.

Surah 20:75-20:80

20:75 But whoever comes to Him a believer, having worked righteousness—these will have the highest ranks.

20:76 The Gardens of Perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, dwelling therein forever. That is the reward for him who purifies himself.

20:77 And We inspired Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike for them a dry path across the sea, not fearing being overtaken, nor worrying."

20:78 Pharaoh pursued them with his troops, but the sea overwhelmed them, and completely engulfed them.

20:79 Pharaoh misled his people, and did not guide them.

20:80 O B'Nai Israel! We have delivered you from your enemy, and promised you by the right side of the Mount, and sent down to you manna and quails.

Surah 20:81 - 20:86

20:81Eat of the good things We have provided for you, but do not be excessive therein, lest My wrath descends upon you. He upon whom My wrath descends has fallen.

20:82 And I am Forgiving towards him who repents, believes, acts righteously, and then remains guided.

20:83 "And what made you rush ahead of your people, O Moses?"

20:84 He said, "They are following in my footsteps; and I hurried on to You, my Lord, that you may be pleased."

20:85 He said, "We have tested your people in your absence, and the Samarian misled them."

20:86 So Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not promise you a good promise? Was the time too long for you? Or did you want wrath from your Lord to descend upon you, so you broke your promise to me?"

Surah 20:87 - 20:92

20:87 They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our choice, but we were made to carry loads of the people's ornaments, and we cast them in. That was what the Samarian suggested."

20:88 So he produced for them a calf—a mere body which lowed. And they said, "This is your god, and the god of Moses, but he has forgotten."{Apparently, the Sumerian was under the impression that God was originating in Taurus, the place of the Golden Cattle.}

20:89 Did they not see that it cannot return a word to them, and has no power to harm them or benefit them?

20:90 Aaron had said to them before, "O my people, you are being tested by this. And your Lord is the Merciful, so follow me, and obey my command."

20:91 They said, "We will not give up our devotion to it, until Moses returns to us."

20:92 He said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray...

Surah 20:93 -20:97

20:93 From following me? Did you disobey my command?"

20:94 He said, "Son of my mother, do not seize me by my beard or my head. I feared you would say, `You have caused division among the B'Nai Israel, and did not regard my word.'"

20:95  He said, "What do you have to say, O Samarian?"

20:96 He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I grasped a handful from the Messenger's traces, and I flung it away. Thus my soul prompted me." {That the Samari could see what was not obvious to others may mean that he gleaned some of the Unseen from the world of the Jinn, and he acted on it by having said his 'soul prompted him' to take some athar أَثَرِ from Moses, here rendered as traces, but also mean 'effects' or 'remnant,' and the Samari may have been given to practice the dark arts or magic without really understanding what he was doing. That Moses was communing with God may have had him contact what we call Dark Matter and Dark Energy since God is God of All and what we perceive of matter is only 4% of the known universe, the majority being what we call dark matter and dark energy, the Samari may have taken it upon himself to experiment with it without having any real understanding but comprehending that something in the nature of Moses had changed that he took it upon himself to collect some remnant from him or a trace of his being to exact his magic-->Dhul Qrnain, are you listening?-->they got me to trust this computer and it turns out the entire post about you and Gog and Magog and your alchemy has gone missing and I have no other backup!}

20:97 He said, "Begone! Your lot in this life is to say, 'Touch Not.' And you have an appointment that you will not miss. Now look at your god that you remained devoted to—we will burn it up, and then blow it away into the sea, as powder." {لامساس rendered here 'Touch Not' also means 'no contact' or 'no prejudice.'}

Surah 20:98 - 20:105

20:98 Surely your god is Allah, the One besides whom there is no other god. He comprehends everything in knowledge.

20:99 Thus We narrate to you reports of times gone by; and We have given you a message from Our Presence.

20:100 Whoever turns away from it will carry on the Day of Resurrection a burden.

20:101 Abiding therein forever. And wretched is their burden on the Day of Resurrection.

20:102 On the Day when the Trumpet is blown—We will gather the sinners on that Day, blue.{الصُّورِ is invariable rendered as the 'Trumpet' but the word 'soor' literally means pictures or configuration, but at any rate the understanding is a sound is to be heard and there are conspiracy theories about a tone coming from Moscow and while that may be the case given contemporary technology, there is a sound that emanates on Earth from a divine source and needless to say, it should not be tampered with and used to mislead people, and of course those who are hearing impaired or use hearing aides can turn them off and get the message in some other way as in other passages in the Quran there is reference to 'they speak to us with their hands.' As for the mention of the color blue, it is said that upon making the Ascension without assistance the sinners would not do well and the rarified air would make them oxygen deprived and likewise make their skin turn blue.}

20:103 Murmuring among themselves: "You have lingered only for ten (days)."

20:104 We are fully aware of what they say, when the most exemplary of them in conduct will say, "You have lingered only a day."

20:105 And they ask you about the mountains. Say, "My Lord will crumble them utterly."

Surah 20:106 -20:112

20:106 And leave them desolate waste.

20:107 You will see in them neither crookedness, nor deviation."

20:108 On that Day, they will follow the caller, without any deviation. Voices will be hushed before the Merciful, and you will hear nothing but murmur.  

20:109 On that Day, intercession will not avail, except for him permitted by the Merciful, and whose words He has approved.

20:110 He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend Him in their knowledge.

20:111 Faces will be humbled before the Living, the Eternal. Whoever carries injustice will despair.

20:112 But whoever has done righteous deeds, while being a believer—will fear neither injustice, nor grievance.

Surah 20:113-20:119

20:113 Thus We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, and We have diversified the warnings in it, that perhaps they would become righteous, or it may produce a lesson for them. {This passage speaks to the multifaceted nature of the Quran and just why it is so enduring.}

20:114 Exalted is Allah, the True King. Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration to you is concluded, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

20:115 And We covenanted with Adam before, but he forgot, and We found in him no resolve. {That God had covenanted with Adam previous to Moses reinforces the universal message that is the Quran, that having found Adam wavering in his resolve in an earlier Creation, God had then chosen Moses in a subsequent Creation. As mentioned in 20:41 above, Moses was made by God, much like Adam was in the first place.}

20:116 And when We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam." They bowed down, except for Iblis; he refused. {Iblis is Satan's name, and that he refuses to bow when commanded speaks to the fact that Iblis is not by nature an Angel, as Angels do as God Commands.}

20:117 We said, "O Adam, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let him make you leave the Garden, for then you will suffer. {الْجَنَّةِ al.jennati is here rendered 'the Garden.'} 

20:118 In it you will never go hungry, nor be naked.

20:119 Nor will you be thirsty in it, nor will you swelter."

Surah 20:120- 20:125

20:120 But Satan whispered to him. He said, "O Adam, shall I show you the Tree of Immortality, and a kingdom that never decays?"

20:121 And so they ate from it; whereupon their bodies became visible to them, and they started covering themselves with the leaves of the Garden. Thus Adam disobeyed his Lord, and fell. {سوءاتهما here rendered 'their bodies' also means 'their misfortune' became obvious to them.}

20:122 But then his Lord recalled him, and pardoned him, and guided him.{That Adam was eventually forgiven is testament to God's qualities Ar.Rahman Ar.Rahim}

20:123 He said, "Go down from it, altogether; some of you enemies of some others. But whenever guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance, will not go astray, nor suffer. {That as part of the forgiveness, Adam was still to be reduced from a superior state of that being in the Garden to a baser state on Earth, with a promise from God that His Guidance is sure to follow and we should be ready to heed it and once again be guided aright.}

20:124 But whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is a confined life. And We will raise him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

20:125 He will say, "My Lord, why did You raise me blind, though I was seeing?" {This may not be a physical blindness but a form of ghasha (veil) where senses are curtailed from being fully realized or awakened in an individual.}

Surah 20:126-20:130

20:126 He will say, "Just as Our revelations came to you, and you forgot them, today you will be forgotten."

20:127 Thus We recompense him who transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of his Lord. The punishment of the Hereafter is more severe, and more lasting.

20:128 Is it not instructive to them, how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose settlements they walk? Surely in that are signs for people of understanding.

20:129 Were it not for a Word that issued from your Lord, the inevitable would have happened, but there is an appointed term. {This gives insight to the temporal nature of our existence, that had it not been for a spoken Word from God having issued a priori, matters would be decided right there and then, but there would be no benefit in doing so without being given time to understand the nature of what is being decided.}

20:130 So bear patiently what they say, and celebrate the praises of your Lord before the rising of the Sun, and before its setting. And during the hours of the night glorify Him, and at the borders of the day, that you may be satisfied. {This is especially important advise to anyone who finds themselves caught behind the veil and privy to a wider field of experience that opens up to people of understanding, it is vital and animated and does 'speak' to us, but the message is multifold and does not necessarily apply to the individual who happens to overhear it as there are other beings in our environment that respond to the Voice of God and God Creates with His 'Words' and we may find ourselves caught up in the cross-talk--so unless you find yourself being addressed individually, it is best to stay quiet and listen and not take it personally.}

Surah 20:131-20:135

20:131 And do not extend your glance towards what We have given some classes of them to enjoy—the splendor of the life of this world—that We may test them thereby. Your Lord's provision is better, and more lasting.

20:132 And exhort your people to pray, and patiently adhere to it. We ask of you no sustenance, but it is We who sustain you. The good ending is that for righteousness.

20:133 And they say, "Why does he not bring us a miracle from his Lord?" Were they not given enough miracles in the former scriptures?
