Space, Time and Cosmic Cycles

I watched an interesting video by Randall Carlson titled Hidden Mathematics: Ancient Knowledge of Space, Time and Cosmic Cycles:

There was an interesting section of the video which I took a screenshot of and which I've displayed in Figure 1:

Figure 1

What struck me was that One Decan of the Great Year constitutes 720 solar years, equivalent to 10 days, 240 hours or 1440 minutes of a Sacred Year (the Great Year viewed in terms of 365.25 days). I was reminded of Meher Baba's words:

My next advent, after I drop this body, will be after 700 years, and that will mark the end and the beginning of a cycle of cycles. All cycles of time in illusion end and begin after 700 to 1400 years. There have been and will be millions and billions of such cycles in a cycle of cycles. Thus, there is no end to illusion, which always remains illusion. Lord Meher.

Baba's time span of 700 and 1400 years correspond closely to length of one and two decans of the Great Year. Three decans constitute an Astrological Age such as the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. The shape associated with the decan is the tetrahedron that has four triangular faces, each with 180°, making for a total of 720°. See Figure 2.

It's interesting how four of the five Platonic solids are linked to the Great Year, with the icosahedron being linked to the 3600 year Saros cycle. Most the major catastrophes over the past 150,000 years have occurred as the vernal equinox enters the constellation of Leo or Aquarius. The last one occurred about 12,900 years before the present era. See Figure 3.

The video also reminds us of the prominence of the number 108 in the dimensions of the Sun the Moon and their distances from Earth. See Figure 4.

Randall Carlson also makes the point that its important to retain awareness of the old systems of measurement. If we used only the metric system then a lot would be lost. We can thank the United States for retaining use of some of the old Imperial measurements.
