Sts. Nereus, Achilleus, and Pancras (1st century AD); St. Domitilla (2nd century AD); St. Pancratius (304 AD); St. Imelda Lambertini (1333 AD).

Our Lady of Fatima (1917 AD); St. Robert Bellarmine (1621 AD); Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament; St. Andrew Hubert Fournet (1834 AD).

 

St. Hildegarde von Bingen (XII century AD) describes in detail the build of our universe. According to her visions there are six elements in the universe, and therefore six forces, one force for each element. The saint also describes the shape of the universe that is not flat disc (as to satisfy Big Bang Theory) but resembling an ellipsoid (shape of an egg, as she writes).

I have spent a considerable time ‘improving’ the saint by thinking that there has to be an internal and external membrane surrounding the main elements of Cosmos.

 

(The membranes are Sub Terra – ‘Under the Earth’ and Caelo - ‘Heaven’). That was a huge mistake that caused me a substantial loss of time. Many articles I published were based on that assumption. They were obviously incorrect. That is what happens when man tries to improve nature and be better than God – this is, by the way, the sad state of the world today. Science says that there is no God, so do the people. Sometimes when you have the map and you choose not to follow and venture into the unknown you get completely lost, and only after the U-turn, when you come back and read the map again you get the light and true results, not some fantasies.

 

Let us proceed to the drawing and writings of St. Hildegard on the Universe.

Below is the symbolic illustration of our universe with six elements and six forces.

Now, some text from the book of St Hildegard of Bingen is available for our edification. This is the description of the wheel of the universe.

 

"Then, upon the breast of the aforementioned image that I had seen in the middle of the southern sky, as described above, there appeared a wheel, wonderful to see, together with its signs and symbols. This wheel was nearly like that instrument that I had seen twenty-eight years before, signified in the shape of an egg, as shown in the third vision of the book Scivias. Along its outermost circumference, there was shown a circle in the likeness of bright fire, and beneath this circle, there was as if another circle, of black fire; and the circle of bright fire was twice as thick as the circle of black fire. And these two circles were joined to each other as if they were a single circle. Beneath the circle of black fire, moreover, there was another circle, in the likeness of pure ether, which was everywhere of the same thickness as the previous two circles of fire. Furthermore, beneath that circle of pure ether, there was shown another circle of watery air, and its round thickness was as great as the thickness of the circle of bright fire. And beneath that circle of watery air, there was shown another circle as of strong, bright white air, which in its firmness was like the muscles in the human body; and it appeared everywhere in its circumference to be the same thickness as the circle of black fire. These two circles were also joined together so that they appeared as if they were a single circle. And beneath this circle of strong, bright white air, there was marked out as if another - a thin air that appeared to carry upon it clouds that were sometimes lofty and bright, and sometimes low-hanging and shadowy; and it seemed to pervade the entire wheel mentioned above. But all six of these circles were joined seamlessly together, the one to the other. Furthermore, the outermost circle flooded the other circles with its fire, and the watery circle watered all the others with its moisture." pp. 46-48.

 

Comments: The six circles are the six elements of the universe and the six heads of the animals are 'winds', that is, forces associated with the elements.

 

The six elements.

1. Outermost circle ‘bright fire’ represents quarks, i.e., matter/energy

2. Next circle ‘black fire’ represents probably gravitons dark matter/dark energy

3. Third circle ‘aether’ represents space

4. Now, there are options to choose from. I have chosen that the next circle ‘watery air’ represents time

5. Fifth circle ‘bright white air’ represents bosons

6. Sixth, innermost circle ‘thin air’ represents neutrinos/electrons.

 

The six forces.

Six heads of the animals are 'winds', which are forces of the six elements. Four of them are main forces and two are ‘supplementary’, that is, secondary in nature. I will write more about the forces in the following articles.

 

Now, the shape of the Universe. This much for the flat, stationary Universe, without a center. Lord God speaks to St Hildegard:

"But when the instrument described above was laid out in your earlier visions in the shape of an egg, this was to show that only the division of the elements was signified in that likeness, because an egg's layers, by which it is divided into its constituent parts, are a bit like the way the world is devised of the elements. But now, the circumference and the correct proportion of these elements are shown only in a wheel, though neither of these holds a complete likeness of the figure of the world in every detail, because it exists everywhere whole, round, and whirling. Rather, a globe that is whole and whirling better imitates the form of the world in its every part." p. 55

 

The purpose of the Universe. Lord God speaks to St Hildegard:

"And again I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: God, for the glory of His name, gathered together the world out of the elements, strengthened it with the winds, stitched it together and gave it light with the stars, and filled it up with all the other creatures. With all these things in the world, He surrounded and fortified humankind and everywhere imbued them with the greatest strength, so that creation might assist them in all things and partake in all human works, so that they might do their work with creation - for humankind can neither live nor even exist without creation, as shall be shown to you in the present vision." p. 54

 

The Creation of the universe.

Now, the timespan of the Universe, from chapter summaries (capitula) written under the supervision of St Hildegard herself:

Part I, Vision I, Theophany of Divine Love:

"[6]. The universe existed in God from eternity and without localized form; as he created everything, each came forth from him distinguished in number, order, place, and time."

 

So, summary is that there are six elements, six forces, time is a physical quantity, and there was no Big Bang (deduced from the shape of universe).

 

 

On meaning of time and existence of God and His nature (my comments):

Since time is confined to our universe only, the first principle is that God exists without beginning and without end, as He is outside of time. The second principle is that because there is no time the changes are impossible, God immutable and His laws are always the same (change is impossible if everything stays the same, due to lack of time and therefore lack of change).

 

The next article – a summary (capitula) of the second vision.
