Exploring the Great Year

By Gregon

I have posted a new video here on TDG, the documentary “The Great Year“, narrated by James Earl Jones:

The Great Year is a compelling documentary that explores the possibility that the fall of ancient civilizations around the globe and the rise of modern civilization might be related to our Sun’s motion around a companion star. The film examines evidence that ancient civilizations may have known of this celestial cycle and that our Sun may indeed display the characteristics of binary motion.

This documentary (official website here) was produced by the Binary Research Institute, and has a companion book written by our friend Walter Cruttenden, Lost Star of Myth and Time (Amazon US and UK). For those interested in a separate overview, Walter also wrote an article about these topics for Issue 2 of our free PDF magazine Sub Rosa. If you would prefer to watch the documentary in a more comfortable manner, you can pick up the DVD from Amazon US.

  1. Sorry, I can’t
    I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who’ll tell me straight what it is they believe to be so, and what they can show to be so. I can’t abide people who can’t tell those apart, and present beliefs as facts. People who do that are either very bad at presenting themselves or have an agenda they’re pushing so hard that it’s breaking. Or both.

    I’m not going to force at Binary Research to choose, nor am I going to choose for them. But I will say I was sorely disappointed to read the section on the web site labeled “facts” and see that it contains unsupported or even unsupportable assertions, and even goes so far as to draw conclusions from those. A well devised scientific statement may contain unsupported assertions. Those are called “hypotheses”. This is all good and proper as long as the background facts support reaching the point where the hypothesis takes over, and it is clearly labeled which is which. The “facts” section fails in this respect. If these “facts” were regarding some metaphysical system that wouldn’t be as bad. But these are about natural physical phenomena. I just can’t trust the rest of what they have to offer if they’re laying the “factual” groundwork on material such as this. When one must follow a leap in logic from assertion to conclusion without evidence to support the bridge between them, it all falls down. I will not fall in with it.

    My mentor, Karl Pribarm, did irreparable damage to his reputation* by participating in parapsychological and similar symposia. He was a frequent guest of various Eurpoean groups for this. They asked him because he was a respected scientist who understood science from the ground up, and wasn’t afraid to either tell someone studying parapsychological phenomena that their study was well designed, nor was he afraid to just interrupt a particularly egregious presenter and tell them it was all crap. I’m not quite so boldly spoken, or perhaps it’s just that I don’t have quite his reputation and so remain more politic. Still, since I’m carrying on the legacy of my scientific lineage (Sherrington, Lashley, Pribram and myself, teacher to student) and they’ve all done this, so must I.

    * Karl’s reputation was only damaged according to the people who said it was. He never felt a thing, and never cared to respond to them in any respect. Besides, he had reputation to spare, as most people never heard the grumbles and whispers because they were too busy paying attention to what he, as opposed to gossips, had to say. I look forward to accumulating my own gossips. So if you know any para-something researchers who want the advice of an expert methodologist…..

    No, I am not the brain specialist…..
    YES. Yes I AM the brain specialist.

  2. James Earl Jones
    If they have the voice of Darth Vader for this documentary, what name to they give to the Sun’s twin brother: ‘The Death Star’ ??

    Sorry, I couldn’t resist it 🙂

    PS: I think that the idea of a great 26,000-year cycle is compelling, but from that to conclude ours is a binary system… couldn’t there be other ways to obtain the cycle? say, like the time in which solar system gives one revolution to the galactic center or something?

    It’s not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me…
    It’s all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!

  3. I thought it was intriguing
    Especially the idea of a binary system resulting in the precession of the equinox. The (little) research I’ve done on the prevailing theory gives me no little confidence that mainstream cosmologists are correct in positing a wobbling earth for the phenomena, especially given what I’ve recently discovered about Big Bang Theory and Black Holes. (Both theories appear to be ad-hoc’d ad-infinitum to fit anomalous observations).

    The Great Year’s suggestion that the cycle effects the global consciousness is interesting, though it’s almost entirely based on Sri Yukteswar’s book The Holy Science.

    I do think there may be something to the idea of human history being a cyclical, rather than linear affair. I’m afraid I have less confidence in the archeologist’s preferred explanations than even the cosmologists. But then, I’m a heretic!
