Voltaire Volt Air

Mostly this blog involves research that begins with investigating recently occurring notable deaths, butt this is just one way the inner twin world demonstrate their power of influence … as well as communicate to us here and now.  

We each have an inner twin that can also influence us in a more personal way, and all one has to do is be aware, to then see the interaction.  This pattern cluster I discovered about two days ago came as I was trying to learn more of my indigenous ancestry, a search (see below)that finally brought me to Voltaire, note from his wiki page:

Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet; 21 November 1694  30 May 1778)

This stands out— his date of death, due to May 30th cropping up a number of times on research…, I mentioned this in earlier posts.  AND now note the following info on two notables mentioned on his wiki page: 

  • Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 O.S.– 30 May 1744)
  •  Joan of Arc (c.1412 – 30 May 1431) and so I googled: 

Two more May 30th deaths!!  This is no coincidence… a definite twin heads upp.   I provide more research focussing on Notable persons mentioned on Voltaire’s wiki page below.  

As an aside, last night I watched the film Hail Mary with my daughter and her family… it occurred to me like Voltaire is a cryptic combination of “volt air”, Hail Mary is a cryptic combination of “Hal, ail May mar”.  Hmmm.

My personal search had begun with the following question and AI answer:

are north american indigenous people closer genetically related to chinese or japanese

AI answered with: 

Indigenous North Americans are genetically closer to Chinese populations than to the general Japanese population. Native Americans ultimately descend from ancient East Asian populations (from present-day China and Siberia) that migrated across the Bering Strait 
I then continued following links: 

When I arrived at Voltaire

Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet; 21 November 1694  30 May 1778)

On his wiki page, two others surface: 

Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 O.S.– 30 May 1744)

 Joan of Arc (c.1412 – 30 May 1431)

So 3 in a sitting.  On investigating others listed on Voltaire’s wiki page, I started to notice that many were born and/or died at the end of the month… the last two days.  So I limited my search to those mentioned on his wiki page that fall into that pattern-cluster, and a few others whose dates are meaningful personally: 

John Gay (30 June 1685 – 4 December 1732) 

 Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745)

 Willem Jacob 's Gravesande (26 September 1688 – 28 February 1742)

 Herman Boerhaave (31 December 1668 – 23 September 1738[2])

Johann Samuel König (31 July 1712 – 21 August 1757)

 James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck (29 October 1740 – 19 May 1795)

Catherine II (2 May 1729 – 17 November 1796)

Lelio Francesco Maria Sozzini (29 January 1525 – 4 May 1562)

 Henri de Boulainvilliers (21 October 1658 – 23 January 1722

Barthélemy d'Herbelot de Molainville (14 December 1625  8 December 1695)

 Alexander Ivanovich Herzen (6 Apr [O.S. 25 Mar] 1812  21 Jan [O.S. 9 Jan] 1870)

Jorge FranciscoIsidoro Luis Borges (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986)

Louis XVI (Louis-Auguste  23 August 1754 – 21 January 1793) 

Paul Thiry, Baron d'Holbach (8 December 1723 – 21 January 1789)

 Pierre Teilhard de ChardinS.J. (1 May 1881 – 10 April 1955)

Things that were meaningful to me from Voltaire’s wiki page is that he was a deist:  

Deism (/ˈdɪzəm/ DEE-iz-əm[1][2] or /ˈd.ɪzəm/ DAY-iz-əm; derived from the Latin term deus, meaning 'god')[3][4] is the philosophical position and rationalistic theology[5] that rejects propheciesrevelations, and religious texts as legitimate or reliable sources of divine knowledge,[11] and instead asserts that empirical reason and observation of the natural world are exclusively logical, reliable, and sufficient to determine the existence of a Supreme Being as the creator of the universe.

In one of his many denunciations of priests of every religious sect, Voltaire describes them as those who "rise from an incestuous bed, manufacture a hundred versions of God, then eat and drink God, then piss and shit God."  THAT, is powerfully descriptive… and brave back in his day!!
