In chapter seven of the Infinite Concept of Cosmic Creation, Dr. Norman brings up the topic of the Cycle of the Recessional. He explains that the earth takes approximately 365.25 days to travel in its orbit around the Sun according to our Gregorian calendar. He states that the little joker here is that every year we wind up minus several degrees, so that consequently every four years we have to add another day to our calendar. He says that the earth is changing its position, according to these radial lines of force, to more or less a degree every year. He further states that stemming out from the Sun in a ‘pinwheel’ fashion are very strong magnetic lines of Universal force. These magnetic lines of force are very important because they determine to a large extent the nutritive value of our crops and they influence our own personal behavior and even Wall Street itself. He also says that animals, as well as people, become more or less prolific and that certain benign or malign influences are continually manifesting and remanifesting according to our planet’s position during the regression of this cycle.
Dr. Norman explains that this entire cycle, taking it from the first point of 360 degrees to where it comes into that relationship again, requires 25,862 years, according to our Gregorian calendar. Our planet starts with Pisces and rotates to Aquarius, which is the basis for our old astrological calendars upon which modern astrology is based.
Now the problem I have had in trying to understand this Recessional Cycle of 25,862 years, is that I have focused on the 365.25 days with its need for a Leap Year every four years. Somehow I thought that these extra six hours (.25 days) mathematically computed to explain the Regression time each year. It never occurred to me to consider the ‘pinwheel’ force factor of the Sun. Our elliptical orbit pattern combined with this Universal Pinwheel Force stemming out from the sun creates what is known in physics as an Apsidal Precession. Basically the idea is, if there was no pinwheel force and no elliptical orbit, there would be no Cycle of the Recessional taking place. The mental picture I got was taking a round clock and placing it on the table. Using the hour hand to represent the earth traveling in orbit from noon to midnight would always be the same…twelve hours or 365.25 days. But, if by hand, you applied ‘pinwheel’ force to the clock itself, by twisting it in a counter-clockwise complete circle, the 12 o’clock starting/finishing point on the face of the clock would naturally move with it. Thus, the earth in completing its 365.25 day journey, is experiencing a Recessional Cycle due to the Universal Pinwheel Force emanating from the Sun it is encircling.
The Apsidal Precession can be viewed on Google Images and explained more in depth on Wikipedia for better understanding. They have great visuals of the process. This Apsidal Precession states that the earth’s seasonal changes, which accompany this cycular journey, take between 22,000 and 26,000 years to complete…corresponding exactly with Dr. Norman’s statements…..naturally;)

Hi Ken,
Thank you for sharing. I was just looking today at a video from “Through The Wormhole” series that was showing how stars circle the black hole at the center of the galaxy which follow the same pattern as in the Apsidal Precession then they showed an atom and how the electrons circle the nucleus in a similar pattern. Wow! All very interesting. As Dr. Norman mentions, this influences patterns from the weather to the stock market. The earth intersects points in space-time like a gear in a watch. But since we are not just moving around the sun but also moving with the sun around the galaxy and also thus moving with the galaxy around the universe, we are intersecting different points in space-time at every instance. That is if we extrapolate this out. I would take it that this Apsidal Precession exists at all scales of Infinity.
Dear Gloria,
Thanks for the additional input. It is sort of incredible to think that we are constantly intersecting different points in space-time moving continually into new territory as we travel around the Milky Way Galaxy. This journey which they call a Cosmic Year takes 225-250 million years to complete!! Hopefully we will be able to jump ship somewhere along the way if we keep advancing:) I also agree with you that this Apsidal Precession probably exists at all scales of Infinity. Thanks again…….Ken.
Very interesting and informative post, Ken! Not being a student of physics (this life) I was not familiar with the Apsidal Precession, thank you for explaining it and using the round clock on the table image explained it very well for me. Yes, what Dr. Norman discusses in chapter seven of the ICCC is quite thought provoking. It’s so incredible how the strong magnetic lines of Universal force affect even the smallest things on earth, and amazing that it actually takes 25,862 of our years to complete an entire cycle!
Excellent video with stunning visuals of the vortex. I watched the second part of the video too about the galactic plane, fascinating and more stunning visuals. I love when we find information like you did that confirms Dr. Norman’s statements…yes, naturally. I’m glad you shared this with us. Very illuminating!

Dear Madilyn,
Thank you for your comments. I had been listening to Dr. Norman explain the Cycle of the Recessional on tape for many weeks and just couldn’t put it together. Also, several students years ago wrestled with it at the Center in El Cajon to no avail. So that’s what prompted my determination to search into it.
Please look up Apsidal Precession on Google Wikipedia! They have an animation demonstration which pictures it perfectly. It’s truly worth 1000 words. By the way, that excellent video was added by Cosmon. It was really great and captured a whole new perspective of our Solar System functioning as a Vortex travelling through space. Glad you liked it!…..Ken.
Interestingly enough, no matter what we learn or what modern science and scientists “discover” and relate to us , it seems we have heard it before.
Dr. Norman was light years ahead of the time. He has given us the path and the knowledge that science is now learning. One more proof that we are on the right path as Unarians , following his guidance in our individual evolutionary growths. Thank you Ken for sharing.
Shirley
Dear Shirley,
You couldn’t be more correct! Dr. Norman was indeed light years ahead of His time. In reading His texts and working His principles through the years, He indicated certain developments would occur as we progress. So it’s impossible not to know He speaks Truth and impossible not to know we are on the right path when these changes occur within us. We are incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity, and be part of His Mission!
Glad you enjoyed the post, Shirley, and it’s good to be on that pathway with you…Ken
Hi Ken!
Lesley invited me over to talk about your posting. I think your posting was just an excuse to get together and have some good laughs.
Your title “Cycle of the Recessional and the Apsidal Precession” is quite a mouthful!
It seems to me you’re looking for a little clairity more than a specific answer. I’m no astrophysicist but I’d like to point a couple of things that may be helpful.
Calendars are simple useful tools to help us plan our lives, plant our crops, etc. The are created by man to be a rough approximate of events. The truth is the universe is far more complex. It’s just plain easier to re-adjust our calendar every 4 years than to create a more accurate one for daily use. The 1 second gain each year has little to do with leap year on our calendar. Yes after a few thousand years we will likely modify the calendar, maybe give February a permanent 29 days.
The celestial cycles of planets, asteroids, suns, moons, solar systems, galaxies is far too complex for me to understand. Every object interacts with the cycle of every other object depending on many factors (size, density, distance, rotational velocity, etc). It’s just mind boggling, can we just go back to a flat model where the universe revolves around the Earth please?
Besides the fact that gravitational and magnetic fields between bodies affect the spin, the precession and the orbit of each other we also have a principle known as Entropy. Loosely defined this means if left alone everything slows down and becomes more random. Things decay unless you provide an external force to counteract it.
Friction causes the Earth to reduce it’s spinning about it’s own axis for a number of reasons (the Moon’s gravitational attraction, the sun’s attraction, the atmosphere, the iron core, space isn’t a perfect vacuum, etc). I’m not sure which frictional force is more to blame than the others. In any case all these forces add up to cause the Earth to slow it’s spinning. Similar forces cause our orbit around the sun to take a little longer every year.
You’re correct about the “Apsidal Precession”, there wouldn’t be any if you didn’t have a spinning body in orbit around another body because that’s the very definition of “Apsidal Precession”. That does not mean that the spinning body wouldn’t have it’s own precession due to other torques.
If a spinning body existed in a perfect void, no friction or torques from magnetic fields, gravitational fields. The body would need to exist by itself and have no internal torques or frictions.
Then the spinning body should spin perpetually and never develop a precession.
Remember your little gyroscope toy you had as a kid? You spun it up and it would balance on your finger. If you moved your finger the top started to precess. This is because the tiny bit of friction in the bearings slowed down the spinning mass in the center which forced the metal to change it’s intended trajectory, this created a stress torque in the body and the whole gyroscope moved to compensate for the change in torque. It’s a little difficult to explain all the forces at work in a gyroscope, it just seems like magic. Magnets are more difficult to explain. I recommend reading about gryoscopes this may help in understanding with celestial variances.
A black Hole has a precession but we don’t live long enough to measure it.
All these cycles and all these spinning things, round and round they go, I’m sorry I’ve gotta sit down!
I think I’m more confused now 🙂
Ken, Lesley and I would love to just hang out with you someday.
I know, let’s go to Disneyland! I can make special magic there. We can talk about all the spinning things there!
Steve Anderson
Dear Steve (and Lesley)
First of all, let me Thank you for having that get-together on my behalf. From all the faxes I have been receiving, apparently these Apsidal Precession get-together parties are going on all around the country. Amazing! Who would’ve thought it? In case you are planning another, I still have some of the “A.P…All The Way!” banners I can send you. (smile)
Steve, you say you are no astrophysicist, but you sure sound like one. I particularly like the topic of the ‘magic’ gyroscope. I know you spoke about it in your post about “What is Magnetism?” and I think that if it is involved in the atom then it must likewise be involved in its big brother…the Solar System. That spinning action, coupled with an elliptical orbit, over the length of the Recessional Cycle creates the duration of our seasons. Approx. every 6000 years their lengths will vary. Spring or Winter might last six months, etc. To me, this explains why we could have Ice Ages.
By the way, Thanks for the invite to Disneyland. I’m sure we would have a lot of fun! We could look at all those spinning circly things. The only problem is, those little circly things would probably be red and found all over my body…called measles 🙂 Love and Light to you both!…Ken.
