   It would help if you and any other interested readers would   
   check what is known of the biographical features of past   
   historical religious figures and figures in folktales and   
   mythology to see if any of them have any of the features   
   listed on my   summary of key features of my cycles.  I   
   guess the main ones to look for are:   
      
   1. a sun stare with tunneling beyond the sun followed   
          by wings descending   
   2. a naked thorn hill climb   
   3. a glowing sky blue (at night) rose (or maybe lotus) vision   
   4. all the above took place during late waning crescent moon   
   5. three or four later waning crescent highs, three of which   
        followed 5.5 lunar months (162 days, 6 solar rotations)   
        after onset of a waxing gibbous moon trial   
   6. several waxing gibbous moon trials   
   7. seven (or longer) years of low years (with more waxing   
        gibbous moon trials, delusion, low creativity, some low mood)   
   8. in most past figures I think those low years ended 11 years   
         (a sunspot cycle) or 11 years and a few months after   
         the sun stare   
   9. learned to not drink 1--9 days before full moon   
      
   I guess the easiest things to look for are the waning   
   crescent highs, generally with clear sky lightning or   
   highly variable weather at their onset, the waxing   
   gibbous moon trials, the 5.5 lunar month separation,   
   and the 7 years of low years (though I am now at over   
   16.5 years), and the blue rose vision.
