While this sounds plausible, what I'm confused over is that you mention the aura is more like a shadow of the anima, and I'm thinking of shadow as the absence of the thing casting it. The shadow being non-physical?

I am using the symbolism of a shadow to express a field effect. Just as a shadow can darken the object it is cast upon, a field can also alter whatever is within its influence (a shadow is 2D, whereas a field is 3D).

The anima is "volume" of 3D time, which is the physical thing. The shadow it casts upon space, via equivalent space, is the aura, a field effect.

But you must also remember that you are talking two, different levels of existence here... Level 1 is inanimate, where electronics works. Level 2 is biologic, where the aura field exists. (See Larson's Beyond Space and Time).

Getting confused about the Cyclopeans/Cyclopses and the different names of everyone! I have some AKA's below for the leading roles based on what I have read on here and from elsewhere, any errors?

Parents of The Titans -- > Uranus (sky) & Gaia (earth)

The Titans--> 6 sons, 6 daughters, including

Chronus/An/Saturn & Rhea/Ops
children--->
Poseidon/Enki/Ea/Neptune/Thor/satan
Zeus/Enlil/Jupiter/Odin/Yahweh/Ahau/Wotan
Hera/Isis/Ninhurshug/Ishtar/Juno/Innana AKA statue of liberty

Cyclopses

Cyclopes unwanted sons of Gaia, imprisoned by Uranus and then later by Chronos. A member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the center of his forehead.

Uranus imprisoned Gaia's youngest children (Cyclopes) in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus. Only Cronus, youngest and most ambitious of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. <--wtf

It seems the Cyclopses are the brothers of the Titans and were imprisoned in Tartarus. Has the actual history just been merged with the mainstream mythology?

Daniel,
A number of these mentioned above also serve as stories related to the changing of the solar system; do they not?

Yes, you are correct.

A lot of it has been mistranslated from the original texts, simply because the translators, centuries ago, just did not knowledge of certain concepts that we do now. For example, tselem in the Hebrew is translated as "image" (made in the image of God), but it actually refers to the incorporation of genetic code into man--something totally unknown in Biblical times.

Gaia and Uranus are the "primordial" gods. In other words, they are "generic" in that historians have no idea what came before them, but somebody needed a starting place to make the god hierarchy.

The Cyclopes are actually defined as primordial, but the Greeks and Romans did not know what came before Gaia and Uranus so they just got put under Gaia where everything else spawned, as "brothers" (like in "yo bro," not a sibling). Mythos from other cultures treat the Cyclopeans as a separate group from the Titans, but our cultures are heavily biased by the Greek and Roman stories.
