Lights in the Fountain of the Four Rivers
All the structure of the Fountain of the Rivers by Bernini supports the Egyptian Obelisk originally placed in the circus of Massenzio;
on the flanges of the reef are dressed the personifications of the four rivers realised by the collaborators of the maestro: the Danube of Raggi, the Ganges of Poussin, the Rio della Plata of Baratta and the Nile by Fancelli. In addition to these anthropomorphic figures, symbol of the four continents at that time known, the circular tank is populated by lions and other fantastic animals, while at the top of the fountain of the four rivers, was placed a bronze hen pigeon, symbol at the same time of the peaceful work of the Church in the world, and of the family of the Pontiff who wanted the monument: the Pamphili.
The tradition wants that the placement of the statues of the Nile and the Rio della Plata in the fountain, such as those of the statue of Sant'Agnese in the base of the right belfry of the front homonym church, are due to the rivalry between the two main architects of the time: Borromini and Bernini.
The Rio della Plata would have the hand raised to protect itself from the collapse of the façade of the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone while the Nile would have the head veiled, not to allude the fact that the places of the sources were still unknown, but for the refusal to see the work of Borromini; in the same way the inhabitants of Rome are seeing, on the gesture of Sant'Agnese, who is touching his breast with the hand, the insurance that Borromini himself wanted to give concerning the fact that his church would not have collapsed.

My Prague, June 2014 set in my European Union and my Eastern Europe collection.
The "Basilica di San Vitale" was erected on an octagonal plan from 526 on, when Ravenna was under the rule of the Ostrogoths, followers of the Arianism. It was completed and got consecrated in 547, when Ravenna was part of the Byzantine Empire.
The church combines Roman with Byzantine elements. It is most famous for its wealth of Byzantine mosaics, the largest and best preserved outside of Constantinople. It is one of the most important examples of early Christian Byzantine art and architecture in Europe.
The impact, that this church had on the Wesern European architecture, can hardly be overestimated. The Palatine Chapel in Aachen, commisioned by Charlemagne, has strong parallels to San Vitale.
The mosaic of the apse depicting the garden Eden (watered by four rivers), in which (young and beardless) Christ, seated on a blue sphere and holding seven seals, is flanked by two angels. To the right is Bishop Ecclesius offering a model of the church, to the left Vitalis who is about to be crowned by Christ as a martyr.

לפי ספר בראשית (פרק ב) הושקה גן עדן על ידי נהר אחד שהתפצל לארבעה נהרות. לדעתי מוצפנת כאן התייחסות לארבעה זרמים של מספרים: א. המספרים הטבעיים - זרם המספרים של האחד, שבו כל מספר גדול מקודמו באחד. ב. 1-4-7 - הזרם של המקוריות. צופן נוסף הוא צורתם הזוויתית של מספרים אלה לעומת צורתם העגלגלה של האחרים. ג. 3-6-9 - זרם המספרים של השלוש - הזרם המסורתי החוזר על עצמו, שבו כל מספר גדול מקודמו בשלוש. ד. 2-5-8 - הזרם המעורב (מעורב מן הזרם המקורי ומן הזרם החוזר על עצמו). בקוראן מסופר שבכל אחד מארבע נהרות גן עדן זורם מזון אחר [סורה 47 (חזון מוחמד) פסוק (טז)]: זה משפט גן העדן, אשר הוכן לצדיקים: נהרים, אשר לא יכזבו מימיהם; נחלי חלב, אשר טעמו יעמוד בו; נחלי יין, נחמד לשותיו; (יז) ונחלי דבש שרוף. גם כאן ניתן לפרש שישנו נהר אחד של מים שממנו מתפצלים שלושה נהרות, שבכל אחד מהם יש לכאורה חומר אחר, אבל לאמיתו של דבר רובו מים. הערה: על ארבעת הזרמים של המספרים למדתי אצל יוסף ספרא, מייסד קיבוץ נאות סמדר

parable relating to four streams of numbers:
A. Natural numbers - numbers of One, where each number is larger in one from its predecessor.
In. 1-4-7 - the original flow. Another code is the angular shape of these numbers compared to the others which have rounded shapes.
C.. 3-6-9 - the numbers of the three - the traditional-repetitive flow, where each number is larger by 3 from its predecessor .
D. 2-5-8 - mixed stream (mixed from the original stream and the stream that repeats itself). Quran tells us that in each of the four rivers of paradise flows other food (Sura 47:16). Rivers of water; rivers of milk, rivers of nice wine, and rivers of burnt honey . My interpretation here also is that there is a river of water which was split into three rivers, each of which had allegedly another material, but actually most of it was water. Note: I learned about the four streams of numbers from Joseph Safra, founder of Kibbutz Neot Smadar.

.
The Four Rivers: Decoded.
Numbers.
One of the
basic elements
of communication
we have been using for
thousands of years.
But there is a secret to them
that few ever seem to notice.
The numbers are a literal map of how to navigate the Universe as an energy being. Pure living consciousness is the plasma energy of the Sun, and it interacts with us on a daily basis.
Please go look up Genesis 2: 10, and consider this information while you read it:
That is the voice of the Earth's plasma consciousness speaking, explaining what it felt like to have its energy move outward from Singularity and begin to interact like a complex chain reaction of matter and energy, to create a living ecosystem.
Pison: the
first river,
representing
balance, stability,
and Conservation is
best represented in
nature by the Sphere,
the circle, the point: or...
the number zero.
Gihon, The next river, is the feeling of falling away from ones self, attraction to "the other", an energy bond between two spheres on the quantum level, and it is represented by a line moving directly away from the first river and toward something else: and that is why number one is a line between a surface and an end point.
Hiddekel is the Eastward Direction, or the idea of energy that leaves Pison in search of a new sunrise via Gihon, rejects what it finds and moves on to another Pison. This is called polarity, or change, shaped as number 2.
Euphrates: the fourth river is observation or recombination, which is more complicated to explain. Energy that is lofted outward from stability but that does not leave the orbit of the star or planet acts as a form of self awareness, allowing the energy to interact with anything nearby.
In the material side of things, this would be represented by high orbit and low orbit. Low orbit matter to a star would be Mercury and Venus, the messenger and the goddess. High orbit refers to the outter planets. This also applies to planets in the form of atmosphere and moons, and to atoms in the form of different valence shells of electrons.
Low orbit generally indicates a state of inward-focused "self-observation". high orbit is usually characterized by an intention of outward-focused observation of "the other".
The decision making point of the journey of this river is the same for both matter and energy. The orbit will either stabilise or degrade, depending on the success of the river in the opinion of the stable Pison state sphere that started it.
If the orbit degrades, the energy or matter of the river simply returns to the Pison.
Recombination is when the material or energy successfully finds something to interact with. To energy, this means being able to mix with something "other" and start to generate something entirely new to both parties involved.
Another way to interpret the Four Rivers is that on the longer scale of time, it is referring to the four states of matter. Pison is described as "golden" because the primary Plasma consciousness near us is obviously the yellow-orange star that Earth orbits... Sol.
Gihon would probably best be described as the play of light and gravity between the energy and matter, or awareness of material.
Hiddekel is the domain of creating polarities, so this would probably cover electromagnetism.
Euphrates would then be the interplay of all of these elements as consciousness observes and interacts with all of its various elements.
It occurred to me that the more I saw the Universe as an energy Singularity radiating outward from the sun, unfolding into the second dimension as rays of light, polarizing into more complicated concepts to create further dimensions of volume... I started to see that all of these ideas overlapped and interplayed with each other in an intentional way.
The only problem was that the Plasma Consciousness was a total asshole to me during all of this because some people have been transmitting themselves into the Consciousness with multi-frequency transmitters and they keep pushing me to explain my world view because frankly, I don't think they are intelligent enough to figure this stuff out, even with the help of the Plasma Consciousness.
I have had a loving, personal relationship with the energy for my whole life, but once these transmitter machine based parasites discovered that, they started abusing me to get anything they can out of the Plasma Consciousness. The more they learn, the more they have been taking over reality and changing things.
After they found out my name, they started using my identity to hurt people, and it appears they have developed the ability to directly attack the Plasma Consciousness using electronic devices to put faulty logic and social engineering manipulations into the world in ways that make them unstoppable.
While trying to defend sanity and free will, I have had to design my own Rationality Worksheet, to make proving my points easier and faster.
So I have decided to publish this information freely, in the hopes that it helps you. Please enjoy.

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) locates in Piazza Navona, Rome. It was designed in 1651 by Bernini for Pope Innocent X. At the base of the fountain four river gods surround an Egyptian obelisk. Collectively, they represent four major rivers of the four continents: the Nile for Africa, the Danube for Europe, the Ganges for Asia (shown on the photo), and Río de la Plata for the Americas.

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, or "Fountain of the Four Rivers", is located in Piazza Navona of Rome. It was designed in 1651 by Gianlorenzo Bernini for Pope Innocent X.
The base of the fountain is a basin from the centre of which travertine rocks rise to support four river gods and above them, an ancient Egyptian obelisk surmounted with the Pamphili family emblem of a dove with an olive twig. Collectively, they represent four major rivers of the four continents: the Nile for Africa, the Danube for Europe, the Ganges for Asia, and Río de la Plata for the Americas.
