The Nil Point is the act of creation, the moment the self is annihilated and is then reborn free from all delusion. The Nil Point is no dark, empty void; it is filled with the wild luminosity of life.

"And just when the darkness
became too much to bear
and the struggle too hard,
the light broke through
and the caterpillar emerged
a butterfly
delicate but unbroken,
wild and gentle,
finally free to spread its lovely wings
and fly away on the wind.”

Denied formal education and facing a future of domestic toil after surviving typhus, Caroline Herschel turned her gaze to the stars in 1786, a path that led her to discover a comet and become the first woman recognized with a salary for scientific work.

Caroline Lucretia Herschel was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1750. In her era, opportunities for women, especially in scholarly fields, were severely limited.

A bout of typhus in her childhood stunted her growth. Her own mother reportedly believed Caroline's prospects were confined to household duties, not intellectual pursuits.

Her life took a different direction when she moved to England in 1772 to join her brother, William Herschel. Initially, she was to assist with his household and support his musical career, but she soon became deeply involved in his astronomical work.

Working diligently, often under challenging conditions, Caroline began to make her own significant observations. On August 1, 1786, she independently discovered her first comet. This was the first of eight comets she would identify between 1786 and 1797. 🔭

In recognition of her contributions, King George III granted Caroline an annual salary of £50 in 1787. This made her the first woman to receive official payment for scientific services, affording her a degree of financial independence virtually unheard of for women of her station at the time.

Caroline's work extended far beyond comet hunting. She meticulously catalogued hundreds of stars and nebulae, and made important corrections and additions to John Flamsteed’s *British Catalogue*. She is credited with the discovery of 14 new nebulae, including NGC 205, a companion galaxy to Andromeda. ✨

Her profound impact on astronomy did not go unrecognized by the scientific community. In 1828, she was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, and in 1846, at the age of 96, she received the Gold Medal for Science from the King of Prussia.

Caroline Herschel passed away in 1848, but her legacy as a pioneering astronomer and a woman who broke barriers in science endures. Her meticulous observations and discoveries significantly advanced the understanding of the cosmos. 💫

Yet I wonder:
You fashioned us in Your image,
and if this is Your image,
then how can we wonder at the evil in the world?
Surely, the riddle of suffering is answered.

He who will know our great Power will become invisible, and fire will not be able to consume him. But it will purge and destroy all of your possessions. For everyone in whom my form will appear will be saved, from (the age of) seven days up to one hundred and twenty years. (Those) whom I constrained to gather all that is fallen - and the writings of our great Power, in order that he may inscribe your name in our great light - and their thoughts and their works may be ended, that they may be purged, and be scattered and be destroyed, and be gathered in the place which no one in it sees. But you will see me, and you will prepare your dwelling places in our great Power.

Know how what has departed came to be, in order that you may know how to discern what lives to become: of what appearance that aeon is, or what kind it is, or how it will come to be. Why do you not ask what kind you will become, (or) rather how you came to be?

“Humanity looked in awe upon the beauty and the everlasting duration of creation. The exquisite sky flooded with sunlight. The majesty of the dark night lit by celestial torches as the holy planetary powers trace their paths in the heavens in fixed and steady metre - ordering the growth of things with their secret infusions.”

― Hermes Trismegistus, Corpus Hermeticum
