The Cabalistic History of Mars

Recently, the Pope’s Astronomer warned the world, there might be alien life on Mars. Does the Pope know something that we do not? In 1995 an ambassador of the Pope spoke at the ground breaking ceremony for a new powerful telescope The Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) a cooperative effort between the University of Arizona Steward Observatory (UA) and the Vatican Observatory Research Group (VORG) located atop Mt. Graham straddling the Arizona and New Mexico border; he said when asked why the Vatican supported this project had this answer: when the aliens come down we are going to want to baptize them.

This view has been resurrected by the Vatican in recent statements about the possibilities of aliens from Mars and what it would mean to the Church. Interesting in the Vatican’s recent statements is the acknowledgement of the capacity of God to create different life forms that would be free from Original Sin—sex. Would that make the aliens superior beings in the eyes of the Vatican?


In the Torah there is no Original Sin only the human being’s imperfection in carrying out God’s Will; that imperfection is engraved in our DNA and expressed in our freedom of choice. The earth is the crucible by which the human spirit is being forged—an opportunity to fix what we lack. It is in the fixing—in the Cabala this world is called by the name Tikun/Fixing—that there is fulfillment. Throughout many incarnations the soul and the body over these 6000 years are ready to merge in completeness; this is what is promised in the last 1000 year period beginning in a couple of hundred years.

If it were not for the influence of Mars the world would be pursuing the goal of world peace to ready ourselves for the beautiful future, but instead we are weeding out the last remnants of the previous world called Tohu/Chaos recognized in the Torah as the planet Mars. The attributions of Mars are opposite from that of the earth; whereas the earth has a molten core that rotates producing a magnetic field, the planet Mars is considered by science as being a broken planet with not enough of the needed magnetic force to hold on to an atmosphere.

The Zohar-Book of Secret describes the world of Tohu/Chaos—Mars as having at its core frozen ice surrounded by water and a nature which is opposite from the earth; on the earth when you hit the rock fire is emitted in the form of sparks, in the previous world, Mars, when you hit the rock water spurts from the rock. Just the other day a space vehicle landed on Mars and noticed ice just beneath the landing mechanism; at the moment scientist figure there must be water just beneath the surface, but from the Torah one would assume that the strike against the Martian ground was enough of an impact to elicit a bit of water to the surface which froze immediately due to the cold atmosphere.

Also, indicative of Tohu is the endless desire to accrue life in snakelike form which eventually fell to the earth when Tohu broke as depicted by the lines running through surface of Mars; the light of Tohu retracted, but the sparks from what is called in the Cabala, Shvirot HaKalim/Breaking of the Vessels, fell to the earth, buried in the soil to be called forth into life during The Six Days of Creation. Scientists have concluded that life spontaneously erupting from earth was less likely than receiving life from another planet.

The Six Days of Creation are actually the last six days of a 266,450,000 year process which produced the human being on the last of the six days—the first day of the Hebrew month Tishre celebrated as Rosh HaShana. As indicated in the first word of the Torah: Bereshith/In the Beginning whose letters can be rearranged to read: Aleph/One Tishre when the New Year is celebrated. Mars and earth are known as the two mothers who together created man—the new element in creation. It would be man’s job to fix the broken vessel of Tohu/Chaos—Mars.

In the year 1666 the earth was flooded by the waters spewed out by Mars; described in the Talmud-Book of Law as a wet dream. A few hundred years later, just prior to the year 2000, the Tower of Babel was erected on Mars to prevent the heavens from flooded the world. Avraham, progenitor of the Arab, Jewish and Roman Peoples was living on Mars, in the Tower of Babel, when God announced its destruction. The angels reminded God that Avraham was living within the Tower and as a result were spared.

The Midrash-Book of Metaphor teaches, the top third of the tower and all those who warred against God burned up, the bottom third of the tower fell to the earth and the people within turned into apelike creatures, the middle third of the tower which is tall enough to walk in its shadow for three days was left to stand as a sign to earthlings to reside on earth; those within were left alive, but unable to return to the earth since they had lost there bodies and were forced to exist in a world made of three of the four elements—water, air and fire.

With God’s help Avraham escaped with the secret of language and was given a body made of dust and ash, but those left in the Tower of Babel are doomed from being part of the human experience. The Zohar-Book of Secret says that the influence of people of the Tower of Babel ranges from Mars until Saturn and they have the ability to incarnate into our world, taking places of power—trying to create a bridge between the two worlds of Mars and earth. The ancient title of Pontus/Bridge was bestowed upon he who could bridge these two worlds through ceremony; the last ancient Pontiff was Julius Caesar who prayed to Mars, patron god of Rome.
