The Baptist Revelation
Unknown painting of St Jerome . This image is
taken from a Video Screen Capture of a documentry
on ThothWeb entitled The Illuminati Part 2. I came
across this a week after constructing this page.
Again the finger is at the angle of 23.5 degrees.
Part 3: St Jerome and the Skull

A nice collection of paintings on the theme of St Jerome by different artists, with three by famous Rennaisance artist Albrecht Durer no less . . . and all making a reference to the angle of 23.5 degrees !
Like the paintings of John the Baptist that cover the same period, the fingers in these paintings and sketches are at the angle of 23.5 degrees - which means we are compelled to make a connection here with the Baptist.
John the Baptist was beheaded, so now that we have here a connection between St Jerome and John the Baptist, are we being told that the skull here belongs to St John? Or that indeed the head or skull of the Baptist is more important 'symbolically' than realised? We are told that St Jerome, who lived between 331 and 420 AD, was an expert on Holy Relics.
The angle of 23.5 degrees would also be associated with the god Osiris and his backbone as represented by the Djed column, which symbolised the earth's axis and vice-versa, and we find that Osiris lost his head and that the head of Osiris was considered all powerful. In most of these paintings that feature the skull, we note that Saint Jerome is pointing at the center of the skull.
However, also noting that the finger is at an angle of 23.5 degrees - as if representing the earth's axis - we would be forgiven for assuming that here the skull also symbolises the earth itself and that St Jerome is not only pointing at the center of the head, skull and brain, but also at the center of the earth. We are reminded of the Alchemical phrase: "Visit the centre of the earth and by rectification you will find the stone - the true medicine".

Here again Durer depicts St Jerome in the likeness of Da Vinci,
and this time its the metal pen which is 23.5 degrees

There are other significant angles in the 'unknown' painting of St Jerome, that suggest this link with the earth and its geophysics.
The instruments on the table taking the place of the usual crossed bones are at the angle of 72. The number 72 is associated with precession - related with the tilt of the earth's axis. We also see the angle of 52º - being the angle of the sides of the Great Pyramid of Giza in the leaning book, and also the angle of 60 degrees, being the GP's lattitude location from the North Pole.
This reference to the Great Pyramid is also associated with the reference to 23.5º found in the angle of the pointing finger which is pointing directly at the centre of the skull - the place of enlightenment. I should mention that at the climax of Kundalini enlightenment, which is what the beheading of John the Baptist is all about, one will experience an explosion of bright-white light from the center of the head, whereby one feels as if one is at the 'center of all creation' . . . the 'centre of our reality' - as represented by the center of the earth on which we live.
