Ascension

In a way, the Royal Wedding and the whole system of "signs" surrounding it represent a microcosm of where we are in history and the evolution of mankind.

We, the human species, may be on the verge of experiencing a "quantum leap" in evolution. So dramatic is this leap, perhaps, that it might be something akin to "ascension".

At least that is the narrative we can infer from another aspect of the November 8 twin events heavily interacting with Arthur C. Clarke's classic sci-fi novel Childhood's End (1953).

The phoenix rises, ascension in full swing...

...whisper the Overlords, who Arthur C. Clarke reveals in Childhood' s End, are from a star system in... Carina.

The phantom light was beginning to wane.
Now it was a fading streak, pointing to the heart of the constellation Carina, as Jan had known that it would.

The home of the Overlords was somewhere out there...
