The Roman’s adopted the Greek God’s giving them Latin names:

Zeus (King of the Gods) became Jupiter.

Poseidon (King of the Sea) became Neptune.

Ares (God of War) regarded as the father of the Roman people because he was the father of Romulus, cofounder of Rome (850 B.C.) with Remus, became Mars.

Hermes (messenger of the Gods) became Mer-cury.

Aphrodite (Goddess of Love) became Venus.

Gods named for Days of the WeekThe following Days of the Week are after Greco-Roman, Norse, and Germanic Gods:

Sunday – Day of the Sun.

Monday – Day of the Moon.

Tuesday - Tyr or Tiw was the Norse God of War. Also known as Martius Roman God of War.

Wednesday - Mercury the messenger God. Also known as the Norse God Odin, and Woden or Wotan to the Germanic Tribes.

Thursday - Thor was the Norse God of Thunder. And Jupiter also chief of the Gods.

Friday - Frigga Norse God (in this case a god-dess). She was believed to be the wife of Odin and was the goddess of marriage and the hearth. The Roman's had named this day for Venus their goddess of beauty.

Saturday - Saturn Roman God of Time and the Harvest.

Gods named for Months of the Year

The original Roman year had ten named months Martius "March", Aprilis "April", Maius "May", Junius "June", Quintilis "July", Sextilis "August", September ", October ", November ", and “De-cember ".

January: Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces looking in op-posite directions. His festival month in January.

February: Februa is the Roman festival of purifi-cation, held on February fifteenth. It is possibly of Sabine origin.

March: Martius was the time for the resumption of war. Mars is the Roman god of war. He is iden-tified with the Greek god Ares.

April: Aprilis is the month of Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus.

May: Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan.

June: Junius or Juno is the principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon. She is the goddess of marriage and the well-being of women. She is the wife and sister of Jupiter. She is identified with the Greek goddess Hera.

July: After the first Roman Emperor Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.), who was regarded as a God.

August: After the second great Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.-14 A.D.), who like all Emperors up until Constantine (274-337 A.D., the first Christian Emperor) was also regarded as a God.

Days and Months of the Gods


Wednesday is the Day of Our Creator

Every Wednesday—the day of the Germanic god Wodan later known as Óðin and equiva-

lent with Thoth —should be celebrated because it is truly the day of the creator. Why? Because Thoth, under his Sumerian name Ningishz-idda, literally created the human race with his father Enki. His Latin name, Mercury is based on Dies Mercurii, “Day of Mercury”; compare: French Mercredi, Spanish Miércoles, Roma-nian Miercuri and Italian Mercoledì. Wodan and Mercury were considered psychopomps, or leaders of souls, The Romans found numerous similaries between Woden/Odin and Mercury as both, like Jesus, acted as psychopomps guiding

the souls of the dead; both were known for their wisdom cunning and trickery; and both, for ob-vious reasons, had their roots as gods of fertility. Thoth/Hermes/Mercury/Woden/Odin/Quetzal-coatl, were messenger gods whose divine fore-sight created the Emerald Tablets, the Tarot, the Runes and the Mayan Calender. Quetzalcoatl was known in Peru as Amaru the origin of the word America. Amaruca is, literally translated, ‘Land of the Plumed Serpent.’Thoth as Quet-zalcoatl, is the Savior of the Americas. Perhaps Wednesday should be renamed Quetzalday in America!

Days of the Gods


Glenn Beck has accomplished what neither Oprah Winfrey nor Shirley MacLaine could. Miracu-lously he persuaded leaders of the religious right and evangelical leaders that it is acceptable for millions of "Christians" to embrace humanistic spirituality and paganism for the purpose of social activism and social change. He constantly directs his listeners to the founders of the American Con-stitution and his slogan Faith, Hope and Charity. He could of course go even further and say that there is nothing new under the sun in Christianity as all its rituals are pagan. Every Christian since the council of Nicea has been indoctrinated with the belief that Christianity was completely new, and the first true, religion in world history; that it was given to the world by God himself which flashed out of Pagan darkness as the first ray of true light to illumine the pathway of evolution.

St. Augustine, the greatest Church Father ever shatters this illusion. From remote antiquity, he asserts, there has always existed in the world the true religion which Hindu’s call Sanatana Dhar-ma. “That which is known as the Christian reli-gion existed among the ancients, and never did not exist; from the beginning of the human race until the time when Christ came in the flesh, at which time the true religion, which already existed be-gan to be called Christianity.” (Retractt. I, xiii, cited by Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn in his Shadow of The Third Century, He was speaking of the Egyp-tian religion which was a mixture of the Mysti-cal and Mythical representations of Divine Truth given to the earliest of mankind on this planet. Nowhere in this "TRUE REGION FROM THE BEGINNING" was there ever a "Karast/Christ" who was to come in "the flesh" for they waited for a new zodiacal age and obeyed Natural Law.According to conventional wisdom, Jesus was crucified during the thirty-third year of His life and in the third year of His ministry following His baptism. About A.D. 180, St. Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, a pre-council of Nicea theologian, wrote

Against Heresies, an attack on the doctrines of the Gnostics. In this work Irenæus declared upon the authority of the Apostles themselves that Je-sus lived to old age. Godfrey Higgins observed that. "All the ancient Mythologies of the world, which, however varied, and corrupted in recent times, were originally one, and that one founded on principles sublime, beautiful, and true." This review would become Anacalypsis. He notes that the doctrine of the crucifixion was a vexata questio among Christians even during the sec-ond century. "The evidence of Irenæus," he says, "cannot be touched. On every principle of sound criticism, and of the doctrine of probabilities, it is unimpeachable."

It should further be noted that Irenæus prepared this statement to contradict another apparently current in his time to the effect that the ministry of Jesus lasted but one year. Of all the early Fa-thers, Irenæus, writing within eighty years after the death of St. John the Evangelist, should have had reasonably accurate information. If the dis-ciples themselves related that Jesus lived to ad-vanced age in the body, why has the mysterious number 33 been arbitrarily chosen to symbolize the duration of His life? Were the incidents in the life of Jesus purposely altered so that His actions would fit more closely into the pattern established by the numerous Savior-Gods who preceded Him? That these analogies were recognized and used as leverage in converting the Greeks and Ro-mans is evident from a perusal of the writings of Justin Martyr, another second-century authority. In his Apology, Justin addresses the pagans thus: "And when we say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexual union, and that He, Jesus Christ, Our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those whom you es-teem sons of Jupiter. * * * And if we assert that the Word of God was born of God in a peculiar

Paganism = Cosmic or Wisdom Religion


manner, different from ordinary generation, let this, as said above, be no extraordinary thing to you, who say that Mercury is the angelic word of God. But if any one objects that He was cruci-fied, in this also He is on a par with those reputed sons of Jupiter of yours, who suffered as we have now enumerated." From this it is evident that the first missionaries of the Christian Church were far more willing to admit the similarities between their faith and the faiths of the pagans than were their successors in later centuries.

Moses comes from the ancient Hebrew blood-line whose roots go back to creation. His belief in Monotheism —one God—shows him as Pha-raoh Akhenaton and Zoroaster. This dates back to the teachings of the ancient Egyptian Priests and the Mystery School Teachings which were about creation based in the cycles of time. In the 3rd century BC, Manetho, a Hellenistic Egyptian chronicler and priest, alleged that Moses was not a Jew, but an Egyptian renegade priest, called Os-arseph. It has been suggested that he may have been an Egyptian nobleman or prince influenced by the religion of Aten, or simply sympathetic to Hebrew culture. Moses is an Egyptian name-el-ement meaning "-gave birth to him" or "-formed him as in "Ramose" which had the meaning "child of Ra" or "Ra formed him". Many scholars from Sigmund Freud to Joseph Campbell suggest that Moses may have fled Egypt after Akhenaton’s death (ca. 1358 BC) when much of the pharaoh's monotheistic reforms were being violently re-versed. Egyptologist Ahmed Osman) proposes that Moses and Akhenaton is the same person (Moses and Akhenaton, Dec. 2002).

It is alleged that the Pentateuch was written by Moses, and yet it contains the account of his own death (Deut. 34:6); The Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible; contains stories of creation, a flood, the formation of the State of Israel which traces its ancestry to the settlement of the Hebrews

in Canaan under Abraham (b. Babylon,18th cent. BC), and the Law of Moses. They are part of the world's sacred scriptures, preceded by Hindu, Mazdean, Egyptian, Sumerian, and Chaldean re-ligions; which have reached us in a very confused and altered form. The Pentateuch is, exoterically, a collection of allegorical legends; but, in the light of the Zohar, the main book of the modern Jewish Cabala, the first four chapters at least of Genesis are a fragment of a highly philosophical page in ancient cosmogony. Hebrews probably adopted the "bulrushes" story from tales of Sargon the Great of Akkad (Babylon). The mother of Sargon was a princess who placed her babe in an ark of rushes, sealing the ark with bitumen and setting it adrift on the river. The ark was found by a wa-ter carrier, Akki, who brought up the child as his own.

Pre-Vedic Brahmanism and Buddhism are the double source from which all religions sprang; Cabalism, Judaism, and our present Christianity included—sprang from the two main branches of that one the once universal religion, which ante-dated the Vedic ages—we speak of that prehistoric Buddhism which merged later into Brahmanism. It is not against the primitive Vedas that Gautama protests. It is against the official state religion of his country; and the Brahmans who intended to prove that the castes were predetermined by the Creator by the very fact that each class of men was issued from a more or less noble limb of Brahma. Gautama-Buddha's philosophy was that taught from the beginning of time in the inner sanctuaries of the pagodas. The metaphysics of Brahmanism and Buddhism are incorporated in all the fundamental dogmas of the Gnostics. The Gnostics held that the Old Testament was the rev-elation of an inferior god, without a single sen-tence of their Sophia, the Divine Wisdom. As to the New Testament, it had lost its purity when the compilers became guilty of the errors and inac-curacies which tend to arise during hand copying,



especially over long periods of time. The revela-tion of divine truth was sacrificed by them to pro-mote endless conflict between the proponents of circumcision and the "Law," and the apostles who had given up Judaism.

Although "Allah" has become known as the prop-er name for the Muslim god, Allah is not a name, but a means literally, "the god". All pagan cultures have generic terms that refer to their "supreme god" as "the God". "Allah" was originally no more a proper name for the Muslim God, than the word Hebrew "elohim" (god) or Greek "theos" (god) are proper names of the one true God of the Bible. "Jehovah" is the only revealed proper name for the "Elohim" of the Old Testament ( Ex 3:13; 6:3) and "Jesus" is the only revealed proper name of "Theos" in the New Testament. (Acts 4:12) Jesus is called "The God" many times in the New Testament: John 20:28; Heb 1:8. The mere fact that "Allah" is equivalent to "elohim" and "ho theos" does not mean they correspond. Allah is the same god as the Buddhist god, for Buddhists also refer to their god as "the god". There is one religion under different names: 'Christianity,' 'Buddhism,' 'Hebrew Religion,' 'Muslim Religion,' etc take off these names and you will find that there is one religion, Paganism.

John Adams called ‘Natural Law’ the Great legis-lator of the Universe and it pervaded the thinking of our founders as they located the source of all our rights in natural law and thought of natural law as the supreme government. Our individual right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness don’t come from man-made law or from the tra-dition of customs and practices known as com-mon law but belong naturally to all individuals by virtue of their participation in a universe ruled by eternal principles of order and universal con-sciousness...God.

Samuel Adams and the founders felt America was put together by divine providence God played an

instrumental role; He was the one we had to have faith in. George Washington said: "It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protec-tion and favor."

The American philosopher Manly Palmer Hall, wrote of the secret destiny of the United States, laid down by Masonic Founding Fathers, as be-ing a country where religious conflict would not prevail. He said, "European mysticism was not dead at the time the United States of America was founded. The hand of the mysteries controlled in the establishment of the new government for the signature of the mysteries may still be seen on the Great Seal of the United States of America. Care-ful analysis of the seal discloses the American eagle upon the Great Seal is but a conventional-ized phoenix... and the all-seeing-eye on the dol-lar bill above the pyramid with the words: "Novus Ordo Seclorum," translates as: "A new order of the ages.” Symbols and some of it's mysteries de-scended from ancient Egypt and Babylon.

During the 2000 election Robert Roth’s bril-liant and provocative book, “A Reason to Vote”, showed that religion and politics are not strange bedfellows for when the Founding Fathers creat-ed the American Constitution it reflected a deep-seated belief in the order of the universe and our place within it. John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware to the Federal Convention in Philadel-phia that drafted the U.S. Constitution, told his fellow delegates to let our government be like that of the solar system; “Let the general government be like the Sun and the states the planets, repelled yet attracted, and the whole moving regularly and harmoniously in their several orbits”. This was more than a metaphor for Federalism; it reflected a deep seated belief among the founders in the or-der of the universe and our place in it.

This is essentially what Thoth Hermes’s ‘Cosmic’



religion encoded in “The Book of Thoth” taught before it was suppressed by the Roman Church. The cosmic aspect of politics and religion is this—humanity is a Cosmic Entity associated with the function of this planet as a unit in the Solar Sys-tem: that System being a still larger cosmic unit whose life-history is represented by the spiritual Sun. It was always the intention of cosmic reli-gion to teach us about our god-like nature if the whole planet is to be transformed. Mankind, like everything else in the Cosmos, must return to the Source, God. When our ‘Founders’ referred to the ‘Sun’ they were actually referring to, the ‘The Galactic Central Sun’ the principle of intelligent energy that pervades the whole universe. Cosmic religion envisions a transformation of the whole planet through instructing humanity about its in-herent divinity. Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato, Zoro-aster, &c., and all those initiated in the most secret mysteries, acknowledged one supreme God, the Lord and First Cause of all.

Cosmic religion is encoded in our Holy Day cel-ebrations. Every year people go about their busi-ness and then are happy to take the day off on these festivals oblivious to the pagan meaning which is the basis of Judeo-Christian religion. When families gather at Christmas time, and cel-ebrate the festival of lights, roll eggs at Easter, or traditional dances, they are unaware of the rea-sons. The revelry during these holy days is a distraction. Wisdom is not invited to the party as it would spoil the fun. The earliest books of our Bible are astrological, and are filled with priceless ancient wisdom told in myth, fable, and allegory - E. Valentia Straiton (The Celestial Ship of the North).

Many investigators have pointed out that Vatican-style Christianity is replete with pagan symbol-ism. Protestant preachers have tried to sanitize their version of Christianity by eliminating more obvious pagan elements. However, they have not succeeded— for to erase the pagan elements from

Christianity is tantamount to erasing Christianity itself. The Vatican is obviously aware that the majority of myths and religions have a common origin yet they have not acknowledged this fact. Colonel James Churchward expounds on this idea in his book “The Sacred Symbols of Mu” in which he discusses the Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu. (Lemuria) including: The teachings of Thoth, Osiris, Moses, and Jesus which Sri Aurobindo came from the Overmind. He notes how Moses condensed the forty-two questions of the Osirian Mysteries into the Ten Commandments and how Jesus condensed the texts to suit the language of his day.

The power of the Vicars of Christ was built on the doctrine of being the successors of St. Peter as the first Bishop of Rome. History, however, does not show Peter to have been in Rome, or to have ever been a bishop, anywhere. The first bishop of Rome was listed as Linus. “Peter of Rome” took the place of the Pet-Roma, the “Book of Stone” which played a major part in initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries. The statue of Jupiter (Jo-Peter) in Rome came to be worshiped as the im-age of Peter, with the claim that it always had been the image of Peter. An effective unification of all of Rome’s religions had to not only include the major gods of those religions, but to make them subordinate to Jesus. The names of the disciples, then, corresponded to the names of those gods. Matthew was Mithras, Thomas - Tammuz, Mark - Mars, John - Oannes, Peter - Jupiter, Paul - Apol-lo. Even the Virgin Mary was a variation on older myths. The name “Jesus Christ” was actually a contraction on “Hesus” and “Christos”. The use of crosses, as symbols, was almost non-existent before. This was generally regarded as a violation of the second commandment, and the reminder of Christ’s suffering was usually deemed inappro-priate.

There is not a single element of Judeo-Christian doctrine that did not originate in the pagan world.



Cosmic Religion and Natural Law

When Christians bend their knees before their "Lord," for example, they are unaware they follow a ritual sacred to Thoth, Egyptian God Of Wis-dom. When Christians bury their dead beneath the ground they emulate the rites of the Osirian priest-hood who believed the soul can transcend to high-er planes of existence after traversing the "Under-world" (known as Duat, Amenta or Nekya).

Sri Aurobindo, an Avatar of The Supreme, the liberator of India from British rule, came here to transcend the Overmind consciousness that has been the highest spiritual influence until now, and cause the descent of the Supramental Conscious-ness. Sri Aurobindo observes that the Over- mind has produced Rama, Cristna, Buddha, Jesus and all the highest creative forces, and we have lived under their auspices — sometimes through the voices of our prophets and religions, sometimes through the voices of our poets, musicians and artists. Yet none of them have transformed the world.

After the death of the Master and his direct dis-ciples, the ‘Truth’ of their teaching becomes dis-torted. For centuries we have been on the quest for the grail but we have found only half of the Secret. The other half, according to Sri Aurob-indo, is to be found in the depths of Death and Unconsciousness, and in the very heart of ‘Evil’. The key to divine life is to transform the darkness within ourselves. It is essential that we make our peace with the gods and goddesses and disconnect from them and our religions so that our minds are free to experience Sanatana Dharma.

Sanatana Dharma means:Eternal Path

Never Beginning nor Ending WayPerennial PhilosophyUniversal TraditionAll-Pervading Truth

Natural FlowSri Aurobindo and the great sages of India teach

that the words "religion" and "dharma" denote two entirely different concepts and perspectives. Religion is comprised of rituals, customs, and dogmas surviving on the basis of fear and blind faith. Dharma—a word, unfortunately, with no English equivalent—encapsulates those great laws and disciplines that uphold, sustain, and ultimately lead humanity to the sublime heights of worldly and spiritual glory. Established in the name of God, a religion is an institution that re-quires a growing number of adherents for its ex-pansion and future existence. A religion discrimi-nates against human beings who do not belong to its particular order and condemns their way of living and being, whereas dharma is eternal, look-ing for no followers for its propagation. With no discrimination whatsoever, it leads a human be-ing beyond the realms of man-made, institution-alized dictums. Instead of creating fear of God, it makes God manifest in the human heart, not in an anthropomorphic form, but as the absolute and universal One in whom all diversities reside in perfect harmony.

Cosmic or Wisdom religion is encoded in our Holy Day celebrations. Every year people go about their business and then are happy to take the day off on these festivals oblivious to the pa-gan meaning which is the basis of Judeo-Chris-tian religion. Many investigators have pointed out that Vatican-style Christianity is replete with pagan symbolism. Protestant preachers have tried to sanitize their version of Christianity by eliminating more obvious pagan elements. How-ever, they have not succeeded— for to erase the pagan elements from Christianity is tantamount to erasing Christianity itself.

The regalia of Vatican priests was worn before by pagan priests. Phoenician priests wore sur-plices. Lambskin was worn by Persian priests. The custom of canons wearing fur coats is a throwback to animal sacrifice. Russian bishops


suspended small silver bells which were also worn on the robes of the priests of Persia. The Pope’s mitre is adopted from the headdress of the priests of Oannes/Dagon, the fish head god. Like an Assyrian king, he carries a pine cone mounted on his staff. This same pine cone staff is a symbol of the solar god Osiris, the Egyptian Messiah, who died for the good of his people, and whose wife, Isis, was worshipped as the Vir-gin Mother. Osiris was the Egyptian counterpart of Jesus Christ!

Investigators believe the pine cone represent-

ed the third eye and spiritual enlightenment. It denoted Dionysus, and “messiahs” (anointed kings). It represented virility and potency. As an “eye” symbol it would have been the equivalent of the “Eye of Horus.”

The Roman Catholic Church utilizes the Pine Cone which is even more evidence that Roman

Catholicism is pulsating with Paganism.One of the common elements of Pagans is their common symbol for eternal life, evergreen, trees and bushes and the Pine Cone is revered because it is the “seed” for more evergreens as it is a powerful, and ancient symbol of Eternal Life.

The Vatican is obviously aware that the major-ity of myths and religions have a common ori-gin. Colonel James Churchward expounds on this idea in his book “The Sacred Symbols of Mu” in which he discusses the Sacred Inspired Writ-ings of Mu. (Lemuria) including: The teachings of Thoth, Osiris, Moses, and Jesus. He notes how Moses condensed the forty-two questions of the Osirian Mysteries into the Ten Commandments and how Jesus condensed the texts to suit the lan-guage of his day.

There is not a single element of Judeo-Christian doctrine that did not originate in the pagan world. When Christians bend their knees before their "Lord," for example, they are unaware they fol-low a ritual sacred to Thoth, the ibis-headed god of the moon. When Christians bury their dead beneath the ground they emulate the rites of the Osirian priesthood who believed the soul can transcend to higher planes of existence after tra-versing the "Underworld"

When families gather at Christmas time, and cel-ebrate the festival of lights, roll eggs at Easter, or traditional dances, they are unaware of the rea-sons. Astrology, Sabeanism, and Uranography mean nothing to them. The revelry during these holy days are a distraction. Wisdom is not invited to the party as it would spoil the fun. The earliest books of our Bible are astrological, and are filled with priceless ancient wisdom told in myth, fable, and allegory - E. Valentia Straiton (The Celestial Ship of the North).

Cosmic Religion


In a world filled with holy days and holiday tradi-tions few seek to understand their origin. Most

generally accept common religious practices with-out question so that they are accepted in Christian society. This defect has created great conflicts be-tween those of different faiths especially in the observance of Christmas, Easter, New Year’s, Halloween, Valentine’s Day and other supposed Christian holidays. Millions honor these days without knowing why—or where they originated. Many believe that they are “found in the Bible” because millions of Christians observe them and cannot be wrong even though they themselves do not really know the significance of them. July 4th, is a good day to read the Declaration of Indepen-dence, signed by our Founding Fathers on July 4, 1776. We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That supposedly is the reason why Governments are instituted yet religious institu-tions have taken these unalienable rights away from us. The most important being that of know-ing our own divinity.

Yet perhaps when you have read the following August the 13th, the day when Quetzalcoatl the winged serpent was born, will be even more appropriate to cel-ebrate the birthday of America

(Amaruca).

This day also has a Venus-Sirius connection which was important to the Egyptians. The bright-est of the stars in Canis Major (the big dog) is Sirius, which is coincidently the brightest star in the night sky. In fact, it is so bright that the an-cient Romans thought that the earth received heat from it. In the summer, however, Sirius, the “dog star,” rises and sets with the sun. During late July Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the an-cients believed that its heat added to the heat of

the sun, creating a period of sultry weather. They named this period of time, from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, “dog days” after the Dog Star.

“When Marduk [now called Ra], returned to Egypt he found Ningishzidda [called Thoth in Egypt] as its master. With the aid of the offspring of the Anunnaki [astronauts from Nibiru] who Earth-lings espoused did Ningishzidda the land oversee, what Marduk had once planned and instructed by Ningishzidda was overturned.” [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 284]. When Thoth-Hermes leaves Egypt, he arrives in Mexico un-der the name of Quetzalcoatl, he is said to have come out of the sea, bringing with him a mys-terious cross. On his garments were embellished clouds and red crosses. In his honor, great ser-pents carved from stone were placed in different parts of Mexico.

The cross of Quetzalcoatl became a Mayan sa-cred symbol, and Maya Indian angels had crosses of various pigments painted on their foreheads. Similar crosses were placed over the eyes of those initiated into their Mysteries. When Cortez ar-rived in Mexico, he brought with him the cross. Recognizing this, the natives believed that he was Quetzalcoatl, for He had promised to come back in the future and redeem his people.

In his epic book, Anacalypsis, Godfrey Hig-gins sheds light on the cross and its symbolism in America: “The Incas had a cross of very fine marble or beautiful highly polished jasper wor-shiped in a sacred chamber of a palace. The Span-iards decorated this cross with gold and jewels, and placed it in the cathedral of Cuzco. Mexican temples are in the form of a cross, and face the four cardinal points.

quetzalcoatl is represented in the paintings of the Codex Bor-gianus nailed to the cross.

Amaruca: Land of the Winged Serpent


Sometimes even the two thieves are there cru-cified with Quetzalcoatl. In Vol. II. Plate 75,

the God is crucified in the Heavens, in a circle of nineteen figures, the number of the Metonic cycle, the Moon’s 19 year cycle where the Moon returns to exactly the same place (at the same longitude and against the same constellation) in the sky with the same phase. A serpent is depriving him of the his sexual organs. In the Codex Borgianus, (pp. 4, 72, 73, 75,) the Mexican God is represented crucified and nailed to the cross, and in another place hanging on it, with a cross in his hands. The crucifixion of the Logos in space and the cruci-fixion of the dove are common in pagan religious

symbolism. The fact that a cross is formed by the spread wings of a bird in relation to its body is no doubt one of the reasons why the Egyptians used

a bird to symbolize the immortal nature of man, and often show it hovering over the mummi-fied body of the dead and carrying in one of its claws the sign of life and in the other the sign of

breath. The great spiritual masters of Central America long for the return of Quetzalcoatl when the feathered-serpent will replace the Christian Cross. Quetzal is the name of the paradise bird and coatl, the word for serpent. Its Maya equivalent is Kukul-Can, and Gu-cumatz for the Quiche in the Popol Vuh. No one knows exactly when the winged serpent colonized the Americas but H.P. Blavatsky says the Mayas existed in Plato’s Atlantis. The Maya civilization arrived in the Americas as a mature culture with art, architecture, re-ligion, and a system hieroglyphics which be-came phonetics. Thoth-Hermes migrated from Egypt and became known in the Americas as Quetzalcoatl, the first ruler of the Toltecs, and Mayans. In Peru he was called Amaru Lord of Amaruca, literally translated as ‘Land of the Plumed Serpent. The origin of the name America is commonly attributed to the Ital-ian explorer Amerigo Vespucci and not Ama-ruca. Quetzalcoatl is said to have been born on August 13th. So perhaps now that Land of the Great Plumed Serpent, is finally gaining more credibility among scholars, it is time to restore the name Amaruca to its rightful place and celebrate the birthday of America then.

Recent discoveries in Peru may lead to more conclusive evidence concerning the relation-ships between North and South American in-digenous Indians. As discoveries continue to unearth ancient Inca cities, writings pertain-ing to the mysterious origins of Amaruca are sure to be found. The Incas abandoned their towns and cities and retreated from the trea-sure-hunting Spanish invaders after the Con-quistadors captured and executed the last Inca leader, Tupac Amaru, in 1572. Some of the cities have since been rediscovered, but many more are believed to lie hidden in the dense jungle.

The Book of the Quiches of Guatemala is



said to have been written by Votan, their name for Quetzalcoatl. Votans, priests of Quetzalcoatl existed for perhaps for thousands of years. Votan is the son of a virgin, sent to save mankind; con-nected also with earthquakes, deluge and wind. Although there is hardly a single cultural custom whose origin was not from Quetzalcoatl, he is es-pecially connected with the planet Venus, and the Mayan calendar. As god of the morning star, he bore the name of Ce Acatl, one of the dates mark-

ing the periodical re-turn of Venus. Mex-ican paintings depict Quetzalcoatl with a wand resembling the brazen serpent rod of Moses. The Torah says that Mo-ses lifted a ‘fiery serpent’ to cure the Israelites from ser-pent bites. (Book

of Numbers, chapter 21:4-9). The reign of Quet-zalcoatl was the golden age of the Toltecs. The departure of Quetzalcoatl marked the decline of the Toltecs before the ascension of the aggressive Aztecs who practiced human sacrifice. Quetzal-

coatl tried to suppress thes atrocities and urged the substitution of fruit, flowers, treasured pos-sessions, and self sacrifice. The Codex Vaticanus A bears so close a resemblance to the Egyptian Pert-Em-Hru that it has been called “The Mexi-can Book of the Dead.” The Pert em Hru is the oldest book of Scripture in the world. [It’s where the Bible, Qur’an and Torah comes from]. The Pert is erroneously known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead because Arab tomb raiders called the copies they found “kitaabi-m-mayyit” (books of the dead men). Like some corpses today are buried with Bibles, ancient Egyptians were often buried with scrolls of the Pert em Hru. The title is correctly translated “Coming Forth By Day,” or “Becoming Awake.” The above passage indicates that the Muslims knew the 99 names of Allah to be various attributes of the One God, not separate, independently existing deities. The Mayan calen-dar added thirteen days every fifty-two years. At midnight of the closing cycle, determined by the position of the Pleiades, the high priest lit a fire and the people rejoiced at deliverance of the world from destruction by flood. Perhaps the prophecies of December 21, 2012 won’t come true but that’s no reason to continue celebrating Christmas as usual.



Romans celebrated Saturnalia, a feast named for Sat-urn which was inherited from an earlier Babylonian

priesthood, on December 21, the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. They believed the shortest day of the year was the birthday of the sun. The Christmas sea-son is the time when the sun enters Capricorn, one of the houses of Saturn, who is interchangeable with his feminine counterpart, Virgo/Ceres, who holds a stalk of grain or corn. Placing grain in the open hearth are an-cient Scandinavian and Anglo Saxon yuletide rituals. Chronos, our Father Time, was depicted in Greco-Ro-man mosaics turning a zodiac wheel and later pictured as an old man with a hood over the back of his head, holding a sickle in his hand. Words such as chronology, chronic, and chronicle derive from Chronos.

Saturnalian Christmas


The Chrismas holiday season the world cel-ebrates each year on the 25th of December is

actually thousands of years older than Christian-ity itself -- So Why Does There Continue To Be So Much Controversy Over This Day? Christmas is one of the biggest events on the Christian cal-endar, yet the customs we associate with the event are steeped in Paganism. Pagans designated 25th of December as the birthday of the Solar Man. They rejoiced, feasted, gathered in processions, and made offerings in the temples. The darkness of winter was over and the glorious son of light was returning to the Northern Hemisphere. With his last effort the old Sun God had torn down the house of the Philistines (the Spirits of Darkness) and had cleared the way for the new sun who was born that day from the depths of the earth amidst the symbolic beasts of the lower world. It’s a trag-edy that the Easter and Christmas traditions have lost the transcendental spirit of the festival of hu-man evolution. Many Christians today believe that December 25, is a Christian holiday. The fact is that people have been celebrating Christmas, long before the birth of Christ. The festivity was known then, as Saturnalia, a festival in which the Romans commemorated the dedication of the tem-ple of the god Saturn. As winter approached, they were losing harvest and needed the sun in order for their harvest to bear fruit. Saturn, the Greek God Chronus, was the Roman god of ‘Time’, ag-riculture and harvest. Saturn could be thought of as Father Christmas and Father Time.

Saturnalia is rooted in pagan and Celtic traditions. They believed that winter was due to a losing battle between the sun god and the god of dark-ness. Then on December 25, the sun reverses its power on the darkest night of the year. The Ro-man pagans introduced into law December 17-25 as Saturnalia. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the week long celebration.

The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to

represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering the innocent man or woman who they chose to represent “the forces of darkness”.

Saturnalia became one of the most popular Roman festivals. It was marked by a reversal of social roles, in which slaves and masters switched plac-es— with masters serving their slaves. Schools and courts were closed, and the whole commu-nity would give itself up to feasting, gambling and drinking. It was also a time for exchanging gifts – particularly of wax candles (also known as cerei) and earthenware figurines known as sig-illaria. Saturnalia continued to be celebrated up until around the end of the fourth century. It was then moved to January, where it was merged into the festival of the Kalends of January, yet another significant part of the Roman Midwinter celebra-tions.

In the 4th century The Roman Catholic Church adopted the Saturnalia festival in an effort to con-vert large numbers of pagans by promising them that they could continue to celebrate Saturnalia as “Christmas”. Christians adopted the Roman prac-tices of Saturnalia for the earliest Christmas holi-days were celebrated by drinking, sexual indul-gence, singing naked in the streets (a precursor of modern caroling), etc. The problem is that there no relationship between Christianity and Saturna-lia. To remedy this, these early Christians adopted Sol Invictus, the Unconquered Sun, as more ap-propriate to Saturnalia’s final day, December 25th as Jesus’ birthday.

Saturnalian Christmas


If Christ is born anew in our consciousness we can have a mass of Christs

all year long.

December 25, is the festival of the unconquered sun.

Sol Invictus


Sol Invictus or Deus Sol Invictus (“the Un-conquered Sun God”) was created by Roman

emperor Aurelian in the year 274, which contin-ued until the abolition of paganism in the Roman empire by Theodosius the Great. The title of Sol Invictus referred to three distinct divinities; Sol, Mithras, and El-Gabal. Emperor Constantine, who founded Christianity, worshiped Sol Invic-tus, the Roman Sun God, until the day he died. On his death bed he ordered coins with his image on one side and the Sun God on the other, then took Catholic communion for the first time in his life, and then died.

On December 25th, the Romans held a festival known as Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, “the birth-day of the unconquered sun.” By using the title of Sol Invictus, the Romans could worship several different solar gods collectively. Under the for-mer Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC, the Winter Solstice fell on December 25th, thus it was the day when the Sun was “un-conquerable.” Under the modern-day Gregorian calendar, the solstice has been moved to Decem-ber 21st, although it sometimes occurs on the 22nd. Many scholars believe that the Sol Invic-tus festival is the source of the December 25th date of Christmas, especially since Jesus Christ is viewed as “the sun of righteousness” or “the son of light.”

The Sun for the ancients was the Hyper-Cosmic Sun and source of consciousness, located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which our solar system shares with at least 200 billion other stars and their planets, and where thousands of clus-ters and nebula coexist. There are many names and symbols for the central Sun of the Galaxy: The Egyptian Eye of Ra or Horus depicted as a Hawk and Uraeus (a cobra) either side of the sun disk; the Greek Helios and Apollo; the Persian Mithras; and the Mayan Galactic Butterfly or Hunab Ku.

Both Christians and Secularists lose when they miss the spiritual message

of love that can be created if people acted in a Christ-like way. The more important question is are you in a deep, devoted communion with the spirit of Christ at Christmastide?

The Great Central Sun of the Cosmos is the source of all physical-spiritual creation. It is the Nucleus of the “Cosmic Egg.” The star Sirius is the focus of the Great Central Sun in our sector of the Gal-axy, which magnifies the radiations of a particular constellation for 2,160 years during any particular zodiacal age. When Mithras and Theseus slay the Bull it signified their Hyper-Cosmic power to end the Age of Taurus as the spring equinox moved into the constellation of Aries. The power of the Sun is a living power identical with your spiri-tual power. All our energy comes from the Sun, and we in turn must radiate the energy we receive from it. The Sun rules the intellect and highlights hidden desires that cloud the awareness of Divin-ity.

Chris Van Allsburg’s book on which the Po-lar express is based is a heartwarming story

about the power of belief that resonates across generations and cultures and to some extent sup-ports this Xmas exploration. What touches the heart in this film goes far beyond the sentimental-ity of Santa Claus and reindeer bells. Once one understands that this is a parable about a child’s belief in God, who is the searchlight along the shadowy pathway in life, the film makes total sense. The highlight was when the conductor tells us that sometimes the most real things are those you can’t see.” Harry Potter fans would agree with that.

The engraving of the tablet of Cebes in Manley Hall’s, The Secret Teachings of

the Ages could have inspired the film post-er for The Polar Express. Further research revealed that this tablet was at the altar in the temple of Chronos, the primeval god of Time who emerged self-formed at creation. Chronos ushers in the New Year and he tells us that the world is represented as a great mountain. Ancients saw God as the Polestar to guide them upward in search of truth and immortality. Above the clouds which conceal the summit of the mountain is the goal of human attainment—true hap-piness. Isn’t that what Father Xmas and Fa-ther Time would want for us.

Chronus of the North Pole


Santa Claus is going to be very unhappy this year as he is caught between a melting North

Pole and a frozen economy. Santa Claus is argu-ably the greatest philanthropist in the world. No one person dispenses as many gifts in one day. What can he do to solve the world’s economic woes after all He has been given all the attributes of a God? If we follow this hypothesis it’s un-derstandable that many Christians believe that the Santa Claus tradition robs the Lord Jesus Christ of His glory. The problem is that every religion thinks their God is better even though they are all the same ‘One God’ with different names. Just Google "The Devil Is In Your Chimney! Satan Claus and the Anti-Christ! The Great Im-poster! Recent film in the Santa Claus franchise brings more fuel to the yuletide fire and exposes Jack’s evil plan to turn the North Pole into a theme park and renaming Dec. 25 “Frostmas” – literally taking Jesus out of Christmas. Unfortunately in this scenario no one wins except the creators, pro-ducers, and cast whose slapstick clichés pander to secularists. The current controversy between Christians and secularists during the Xmas season could be settled if both parties were aware of the genesis of Santa Claus and Christ. Christians think ancient Gods are nothing but myths. What about the Christian God? Isn’t he just a myth also? Greeks used myth to explain the unexplainable. Ancient civilizations created Polar Gods and Sun Gods to rule their universe. The at-tributes of Santa Claus can be traced back to Polar Gods such as Siva, Chronus, and Apollo.

Zep Tepi is the Egyptian Genesis. Zep means Time.Tepi means First. Together they are the ‘First Time’ or the Golden Age (Alchemy) where the Pantheon of Egyptian Gods, Ptah, Ra, Su, Geb, Set, Osiris, and Thoth (associated with Orion, god of resurrection and rebirth,) Horus, Ma’at , and Thoth ruled after the last ice age approximately 13,000 years ago when the Age of Leo (Sun) be-

gan. Therefore Santa Claus’ rule of the North Pole should be over and the ‘Unconquered Sun’ should rule.

In his book,” Arctic Home,” (published in 1903), Gangadhar Tilak was convinced that ancient In-dian Vedic texts point unmistakably to a “realm of the gods” where the sun rises and sets once a year, which indicates that these writers under-stood the astronomical symbolism at the North Pole. So, if you are celebrating any of the west-ern traditions of Christmas this year, remember that you are also enjoying the rituals of several ancient polar gods from the Hindus, Greeks, Scandinavians, and Romans. Few dispute that Santa Claus’ annual visit calms us as he sails through the darkest night of the year bringing hope and light to the world’s children. His Christmas presents also promise, through sea-sonal renewal, that the world is eternally young. Why would a secularist or a Christian complain about that? Christ is a mystical expression for the human inner god, while chrest is the latent Christ spirit which is regenerated by good thinking, liv-ing and actions. In the language of the Mysteries, Chrestes, Chrestos, Chrestians chrestos (Greek) is a title of respect equivalent to “the worthy.”

The word Christos was easier to con-vert Middle Eastern religions with than the word “Messiah

E nter the New Year with greater spiritual effort ev-ery day and redeem yourself by yourself. No one

else can do it for you. This was the message in Charles Dickens’s most popular book, “A Christmas Carol,” which introduced the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Pres-ent, and Future, to show Scrooge the error of his ways. Most people think that Santa Claus has nothing to do with the religious side of Christmas. Santa Claus is actually supposed to be Saint Nicholas. Up until the 1930s Santa was shown in paintings to look like an ordinary person, dressed normally but wearing a red cloak. Then in the 1930’s the Coca-Cola Com-pany ran an advertisement showing Santa Claus the way we know him now; rather fat and jolly, with his red suit and long white whiskers. He was much more appealing to children this way, and so the image re-mained. Few dispute that Santa Claus’ annual visit calms us as he sails through the darkest night of the year bringing hope and light to the world’s children. His Christmas presents also promise, through sea-sonal renewal, that the world is eternally young. Why would a secularist or a Christian complain about that? For centuries in Western countries Christmas was thought to be a purely Christian celebration, com-memorating the birth of the Christ. During this time Christianity berated the Pagan world and its religions. Yet paradoxically its most important festi-val of the year incorporates the very same Pagan cel-ebration rites that it has condemned. After the fall of the Roman empire the priests of the Roman Church conquered more minds than the centurions were ever able to do, by condescending to allow its Pagan converts to practice their ancient religious festivals at Christmas. So in essence it was Paganism that influ-enced Christianity.

But in the process of this amalgamation, the true spiritual power of the Christian Gnostics was

forgotten, and it is the reason why America is so polarized at Christmas. The Teachings of the Origi-nal Gnostic Christians were fervently suppressed by the Roman Church because they portray Jesus and Mary Magdalene as initiates of the Mystery School of Osiris and Isis. The gospels are a dramatic reen-actment of spiritual allegory that leads to spiritual enlightenment, for the Mystery Schools taught how we have the power to transform our world by ex-ploring consciousness.

T he answer to why we honor Santa Claus and Father Time is simple,

for he brings back memories embedded deep in our collective consciousness of the idea of an ancient polar god ruling from the North Pole. The religions of all ancient nations associate the abode of the supreme God with the North Pole as the centre of heaven.

Paganism influenced Christianity


The seven large stars in the Great Bear, Ursa Major, corresponds with the seven creative

Rishis, the Seven Timekeepers. the progenitors of mankind, who mark the duration of events in our septenary life cycle. They are as mysterious as their supposed wives, the Pleiades. The Pleia-des (Krittika) are the nurses of Karttikeya (Mars), the commander of the celestial armies —or the Siddhas (translated Yogis in heaven, and holy sages on the earth) which makes Karttikeya iden-tical with St. Michael, the “leader of the celestial hosts.” Hence also the War in Heaven of Michael against the Dragon (Jupiter and Lucifer-Venus), when a third of the stars of the rebellious host was hurled down into Space. The stars of our en-tire galaxy are all intimately connected together, spiritually, intellectually, psychically, vitally, and physically, which means a connection extending back to a remote past that can be only calculated in astronomical figures.

In Egypt the Great Bear was the constellation of Typhon, the Dragon of Life with seven heads

assigned to her son, Cronus, or Saturn. There were two constellations with seven stars each. We call them the Great and Little Bears. But the seven stars of the Lesser Bear were once consid-ered to be the seven heads of the Polar Dragon, which are the beast with seven heads in the Ak-kadian Hymns and in Revelation. The mythical dragon originated in the crocodile, which is the dragon of Egypt. We call them the Two Bears. But the seven stars of the Lesser Bear were once considered to be the seven heads of the Po-lar Dragon, which we meet with - as the beast with seven heads - in the Akkadian Hymns and in Revelation. The mythical dragon originated in the crocodile, which is the dragon of Egypt. In The Book of Enoch these two constellations are identified as Leviathan and Behemoth or the Dragon and Hippopotamus = Great Bear, and they are the primal pair that were first created in the Garden of Eden.

The shopping mall has now replaced the North Pole where the avatar Santa Claus

resides. Santa Claus has the three major charac-teristics of God: Omniscience (knows everything) Omnipotence (can do anything) Omnipresence (can be everywhere.)

Santa Claus’ workshop at the North Pole as-sociates him with the cosmic axis on which he descends and ascends. Our chimneys also sym-bolize the cosmic axis which carries Santa from one realm to another. Christmas night is totally mystical for his sleigh is pulled by eight fly-ing reindeer that traverse the whole world in one night. Like God, Santa knows everything about us and is omnipresent. Santa Claus is in essence a secular version of the Hindu god, Siva, of the celestial pole. All aboard the po-lar express through the labyrinth of deception that has clouded the true meaning of Christmas.

John O’Neill (Night of the Gods, two volumes) insisted that mankind’s oldest religions centered on a god of the celestial pole. Jocelyn Godwin’s book, Arktos: The Polar Myth, tells us that: “It is in medieval Iran that we find extant literature on the Spiritual Pole and the experience of mystical ascent to it. The Iranian Sufis, drawing not only on Islam but on the Mazdean, Manichean, Her-metic, Gnostic and Platonic traditions, blended a sacred knowledge said to be ‘scientific’, mysti-cal and philosophically practical. “The religion and mythology of a polar god was first formu-lated by the priest-astronomers of ancient In-dia, Babylon, Sumeria and Egypt and spread to Greece, Rome, and the rest of the world.

The Cosmic Axis


Christmas Myths

Numerous parallels have been made be-tween Santa Claus and Odin, a major god

amongst the Germanic peoples prior to their Christianizing. Odin was depicted as a tall, old man with a white beard and wearing a cloak. He rode the skies and the seas on his fast white horse Sleipnir with his 8 (the number of transfor-mation) legs, while carrying his constant spear Gungnir (clear and focused intent) in his hand. He had one eye, for he had offered the other eye in exchange for gathering wisdom at the well of the head Mimir (Norse representation of Su-preme Consciousness) and with that he became a shape shifter, able of seeing in the outward world with his normal eye and understanding the inward worlds with his black, removed, eye. He was beloved among his friends and followers who felt happy and energized in his presence Odin


The parallels between the origins of Santa Claus (Santaism) and Buddhism are striking.

The altar of a Buddhist temple has a statue of a corpulent laughing Buddha/Santa with an offering of fruit or food which mirrors offerings of milk and cookies to Santa, while Buddhist prayers are generally offered up with incense to God. Bud-dhism teaches that we incarnate many times until we attain God realization, Santa knows who has been naughty or nice that year which parallels Buddhism and Hinduism’s cyclic judgment of all

Tower of Babelbeings.

The second most striking parallel between Santa-ism and Hinduism is their focus on pilgrimages to a holy mountain where God resides. Almost every tradition has its name for this mountain with the same signifi cance; the Persian Alborj, the Montsalvat of Western Grail legend, the Arab mountain Qaf and the ancient Greeks had several sites that were considered places of the ompha-los (navel) stone, such as the oracle at Delphi, while also maintaining a belief in a world tree, the Xmas Tree, and Mount Olympus as the abode of the gods.

Many religious structures symbolize the polar axis. The stupa of Hinduism, and later Buddhism, refl ects Mount Meru, and Siva is often mysti-cally connected with Mount Meru, which esoteri-cally is both the cosmic and terrestrial axis with its north and south poles. The upright bar of the cross is sometimes seen as representing a world axis, while the steeple of a church or minaret of a mosque indicates a place where the earthly and heaven meet. In Mesopotamian civilizations, the ziggurat works as a polar axis. Structures such as maypoles in pre-Christian Europe, linked to the Saxons’ Irminsul, and totem poles among Pacifi c

Towers symbolize the Polar Axis

Northwest Native Americans also formed local or temporary world axes. Many cul-

tures equate a hill, a mountain or a pyramid as a symbol of the polar axis or axis mundi. For ex-ample, the Sioux consider the Black Hills to be the axis mundi, while Mount Kailash is holy to several religions in Tibet. Often, within the same belief system, several places may be considered the axis mundi; in Islam, the Dome of the Rock, where Muhammad was raised and lowered from heaven, as well as the shrine at Mecca play this role. The Temple Mount, site of the Dome of the Rock, is also holy to Judaism and Christianity. Other nearby sites that are considered sacred and are on hills include the Mount of Olives and Cal-vary.

Hindu fundamental belief is that the Vedas are eternal (sanatana) and not composed by a human being (apaurusheya). They believed that: at the end of a creative cycle God, Para-matma, dissolves everything within Himself, there is only one principle, Spirit: everlast-ing, ever conscious, ever new Bliss. But in each new creative cycle Spirit again projects Itself as the Trinity—Father-Son-Holy Ghost.

We, ourselves, are the epitome of the whole of creation. The material universe is the vast body of God, the cosmic electrical en-ergy is the astral form of God, and the soul or life in everything is the essence of God. Even a grain of sand has life.

The great Rishis imparted knowledge of the Holy Trinity orally through numerous gener-

ations. The Christian Holy Trinity—Father-Son-Holy Ghost corresponds with the Hindu Trinity, Aum-Tat-Sat. God, the Father is Sat, spirit beyond all creation, Christ the Son is Tat, the Christ intel-ligence in all creation, The Holy Ghost is Aum or Amen, the Word/Logos or Cosmic Vibration that structures creation.

O rion was known by Egyptians as ’The First Time’ of Osiris. The Three

Kings represent the three divine aspects of Will, Love and Intelligence. The name Orion literally means “the breaking forth of light, and therefore, symbolizes Spirit. In South America Orion’s Belt is known as “Las Tres Marias” or “As Três Ma-rias” (The Three Marys), in honor of Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Bethany,three major New Testament figures

The Star of Bethlehem and the three Magi symbolize Sirius and Orion respectively.

The Babe in a manger born among animals in a stable or a cave, and wrapped in

swaddling clothes was common in many ancient religions.

The Star of Bethlehem (Matt. 2:2) symbolizes the brightest star in the winter sky, Sirius, which is

part of the winter triangle in the constellation, Canis Major. In Sanskrit, Sirius is known as Mrgavyadha (“deer hunter”) or Lubdhaka (“hunter”). As Mrgavy-adha, the star represents Siva. At 4:00 PM, the three stars in Orion align along a south east direction to-wards Sirius and the Star of Bethlehem rises and points to the birthplace of Christ. Since stars, like the sun, always rise from the east, it would appear as three stars were following one bright star, or as the star of Bethle-hem guiding the Magi. If the magi were on land, they couldn’t come from the east and follow a star from the east. But if they are in the sky, it makes sense. Siri-us would appear to stop, like the star of Bethlehem, when it is directly above the stable where Christ is born.

Sirius and Orion


Jesus, the Sun was born in Bethlehem “house of bread” as Bethlehem represents the constel-

lation of Virgo, depicted with a sheaf of wheat. Virgo is related to the concept of the “womb of time”. The sun has moved out of Virgo in Judea during the time of King Herod symbolizing night.

The three Magi from the east; the three stars in the belt of Orion, rise in the east came to Jerusa-lem. The Magi enquire, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? Where is the new Sun? We saw his star, Venus, the which is always seen near the Sun when it rose in the east and have come to worship him

King Herod represents darkness which is always fearful of sunrise when the sun, Jesus, in this case, is born and conquers him. Herod, Egyptian Herut, asked his astrologers where the Christ [the Sun] was to be born. Then Herod secretly called the Magi [astronomers] and discovered the exact time Venus appeared as the star Venus is closest to the sun. He then sent them to Bethlehem, the house of Virgo] and said, find the child, the Sun in Virgo, so that I too may go and worship him.”

The three Magi followed the star rising in the east until it rested over the place where the

baby Sun rests in the west. Arriving in Bethle-hem they saw the Sun Child with his mother Mary [Virgo], and bow down and worship him. Then they presented him with gifts of gold and of frankincense and of myrrh. Gold is bright like the Sun. Frankincense when burned was considered to be the essence of God on Earth. Myrrh was a symbolically appropriate gift for the baby Jesus because it was used in embalming at the time. Therefore, while gold and frankincense symbol-ize the infant’s royalty and divinity, respectively, myrrh makes reference to His future death. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they, the Orion belt. returned back to the east under the earth where they rise.

T he word orient in the Christmas car-ol, “We Three Kings From Orient Are”,

should be replaced by Orion. The three Magi (Matt.2:1) who searched for the newly born Christ are symbolic of the three stars in the hunter’s belt in the con-stellation of Orion.

There have been many different mother god-desses who came from the sea, including such

goddesses as the Hindu Lakshmi (“Good Fortune”). She, like Aphrodite, is goddess of love and beauty who brings wealth. She is the wife of Vishnu, and was born from the Sea, fully grown ,and beautiful.

In some forms of Neo-paganism, and in the Hindu idea of Shakti, all mother goddesses are considered aspects of the one God. Aphrodite, Roman Venus, goddess of love, beauty and fertility was worshipped as Aphrodite Urania, Queen of the Sea, and tran-scendental love. She bore several children to vari-ous gods: Her daughters were Peitho/Suada/Suadela goddess of persuasion, and Harmonia (harmony/healing). Her sons are Eros god of love (the zo-diacal sign Pisces represents Aphrodite and Eros hiding as fishes from Typhon), Hymen god of marriage, and Hermaphroditus (son of Aphro-dite and Hermes).

The poet Hesiod said that Aphrodite was born from the foam of the sea. Her symbol was

the Swan. Homer, on the other hand, said that she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. When the Trojan prince Paris was asked to judge who of three Olympian goddesses was the most beauti-ful, he chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena. The latter two had hoped to bribe him with power and victory in battle, but Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. This was Helen of Sparta, who became infamous as Helen of Troy when Paris subsequently eloped with her. In the ensuing Trojan War, Hera and Athena were implacable enemies of Troy while Aphrodite was loyal to Paris and the Trojans. In his epic of the Trojan War, Homer tells how Aph-rodite intervened in battle to save her son Aeneas, a Trojan ally. Even though Zeus's Queen Hera and Aphrodite are on different sides in the Trojan War, the goddess of love loans Hera her

magical girdle in order to distract Zeus from the fray. This garment causes men (and gods) to fall hopelessly in love with whoever is wearing it. . Catholics call the Virgin Mary (Mare is Latin for Sea) Queen of Heaven and Star of the Sea, to appeal to pagan traditions. Because of this Prot-estants often accuse Catholics of viewing Mary as a goddess, but the Catholic Church always has condemned "worship" of the Virgin Mary be-cause Catholics pray as a means of communica-tion rather than as a means of worship. Catholics believe that the dead, who follow Jesus, have eternal life and can hear prayers in heaven from people here on earth. Some Christians regard Mary, the Mother of God and other many be-lievers, as a "spiritual mother," since she not only fulfills a divine mediator for humanity, but she is not worshiped as a divine "mother goddess".

Thousands of years before Mary nursed the baby, Jesus, the Madonna and the Child ex-

isted in Egypt as Isis holding her infant, Horus. Isis (Sirius) “Virgin of the World,” On the walls of the temple of Luxor, there were carved four scenes adopted by the Gospels. The first scene depicts a group of angels on a cloud making the annuncia-tion of the coming of the Messiah King to a band of shepherds in the fields. The second represents a single angel announcing to a young maiden that she is to be the mother of the awaited Messiah. A third pictures the Nativity scene, with the two ani-mals, the ox and the ass, present. And the fourth shows three magi kneeling before a babe and offer-ing gifts, at a date as early as 1700 B.C. The Egyp-tian Sun God Horus taught that the Christ spirit is in us all so he was anticipating a mass of Christs. That’s what we need to focus on today instead of the polarization that’s caused by religious dogma propagated by those who are unaware of the origins of the Christmas season.

“On entering [the temple of Hera at Plataia, Boi-otia] you see Rhea carrying to Kronos the stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, as though it were the babe to which she had given birth.” - Pausanias,

Isis and Horus Mary and Jesus

The attempted assassination of newly born saviors was also not unique to Jesus

Guide to Greece 9.2.7. The Babe in a manger born among animals in a stable or a cave, and wrapped in swaddling clothes was common in many ancient re-ligions. According to legend, Hermes was born in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. Zeus had impreg-nated Maia at night while all other gods slept. When he was born at dawn broke Maia wrapped him in swaddling clothes. Mithras was also born in a cave, with shepherds in attendance, on the twenty-fifth of December. Mithras was known to his followers as “The light of the world,” or “The Good Shepherd,” and urged his followers to share ritual communion of bread and wine. Mithras’s priests were called “Father.” When King Herod heard about the birth Jesus he asked the Magi from the East who fol-lowed the star to Bethlehem to inform him when they found the baby so he could come and wor-ship Him also. Known for his hatred of Jesus as future King of the Jews he ordered all the babies up to the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed. The Hindu Krishna birth story is another variation on the same theme. Krishna’s uncle Kamsa hears a heavenly voice which predicts that the eighth son of his sister, Devaki, will kill him. Devaki and her husband agree to be held captive and to give any children to Kamsa. The eighth child, Krishna, was

The “Bagaveda-Gita and Brahmini-cal traditions,” states that the body of Krishna: “was suspended to the branches of a tree by his murderer, that it might become the prey of the vultures...[Later] the mortal frame of the Redeemer had disappeared--no doubt it had regained the celestial abodes...”

In the Greek Orphic religion Dionysus is born from a union between Persephone and Zeus in serpent form. Jealous Hera persuaded the Titans to attack the infant god as he looked into a mirror. Not only did they tear him to pieces, but the Titans ate him --all but his heart

Author Kersey Graves (1813-1883), a Quaker from Indiana, compared Yeshua's and Krishna's life. He found what he believed were 346 ele-ments in common within Christiana and Hindu writings. #6 & 45: Yeshua and Krishna were called both a God and the Son of God. 7: Both was sent from heaven to earth in the form of a man. 8 & 46: Both were called Savior, and the second person of the Trinity. 13, 15, 16 & 23: His adoptive human father was a carpenter. 18: A spirit or ghost was their actual father. 21: Krishna and Jesus were of royal descent. 27 & 28: Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds, guided by a star. 30 to 34: Angels in both cases issued a warn-ing that the local dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea; Krishna's parents stayed in Mathura. 41 & 42: Both Yeshua and Krishna withdrew to the wilderness as adults, and fasted. 56: Both were identified as "the seed of the woman bruising the serpent's head." 58: Jesus was called "the lion of the tribe of Ju-dah." Krishna was called "the lion of the tribe of

Saki." 60: Both claimed: "I am the Resurrection." 64: Both referred to themselves having existed before their birth on earth. 66: Both were "without sin." 72: Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine. 76, 77, & 78: They were both considered omni-scient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. 83, 84, & 85: Both performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured "all manner of diseases." 86 & 87: Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised the dead. 101: Both selected disciples to spread his teach-ings. 109 to 112: Both were meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners. 115: Both encountered a Gentile woman at a well. 121 to 127: Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies. 128 to 131: Both descended into Hell, and were resurrected. Many people witnessed their ascen-sions into heaven. Religioustolerance.org

which Athena rescued. From this organ the rest of the god was resurrected. In the Osiris/Isis Mysteries Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis and rightful heir to the throne of Egypt, was killed by Set in the form of a scorpion, but Thoth brought him back to life, as his destiny was to rule Egypt, and avenge of the crime against his father. Horus grew to be a strong and brave warrior and his father Osiris appeared to him in a vision, and urged him to overthrow Set. Herut is another name for Set does that sound familiar?

Assasination of Saviors


The symbolism of midnight, winter and the solstice universally pictured the moment of

the birth of Christ consciousness taught by Horus many centuries before the birth of Jesus. Gerald Massey (1828-1907) found nearly two hundred similarities between the life of Horus and Jesus. Language historians trace the Egyptian and Greek languages to the oldest Indo-European language, Sanskrit. The origin of the word “Christ” can be traced to the Greek “Christos” which is almost identical in sound and spelling to the Sanskrit word “Krista”, means all-attractive. The intel-ligence throughout the cosmos is called Christ Intelligence. This is the reflection of God’s intel-ligence present in all creation. Jesus and Krishna were that Consciousness.

As Xmas is so significant to Christians will be a shock for them to learn Christians celebrated the birth of Jesus on the spring equinox, March 25th, for the first three and a half centuries of Christian-ity. The decree issued by the Pope Julian II, in the year 345 A.D., stated that henceforth the follow-ers of Jesus Christ must unite with the followers of Mithras, Dionysus and Bacchus in celebrat-ing the rebirth of Mithras under solar symbolism at the winter solstice on December 25th. Alvin Boyd Kuhn’s 1934 lecture, The Great Myths of the Sun Gods, urges us to know that we ourselves are the Sun-gods, and that ancient allegory is not a “myth,” but the very essence of our own Self.

The emperor Constantine made Jesus’ official birthday coincide with the Unconquered Sun, Mithras’ birthday in 312 A.D. December 25 was a significant date for various early cultures. Ancient Egyptians celebrated the birth of Horus, the son of Isis, and Babylonians believed that Tammuz, the son of the queen of heaven, Semiramis, was immaculately conceived by the rays of Baal, the Sun God on the same date, The statue of Liberty and the British Britannia mirror Queen Semira-mis the wife of Nimrod king of Babylon holding

her torch. Referring to Jesus as the “light of the world” also followed existing pagan beliefs about the birth of the sun. The ancient “return of the sun” philosophy had been replaced by the “coming of the sun” message of Christianity.

It wasn’t until A.D. 440 that the church Officially proclaimed December 25, as the birth of Christ.

Early Christians probably adopted pagan beliefs to enable them to make their religion more pal-atable to the pagans around them. It’s quite un-derstandable why Father Xmas and Father Time would seem have little or no connection with the ancient Gods Chronos and Saturn as Greek myth created brutal myths to describe scientific and as-tronomical cosmologies. Legends of newly born gods wrapped in swaddling clothes have existed from the earliest times. Unfortunately we take these myths literally without understanding their allegorical meaning. The religious mess we’re in stems from this problem. Chronos and Saturn are respectively the Greek and Roman version of Shi-va and the Vedic description of Lord Siva as the

Christna-Karast-Christos-Christ

Shiva


Good Lord and the Greatest God (Mahadeva) and God of Gods (Devadideva). There seems to be no similarity between them. Yet further compari-son shows they both mutilated their wife’s sons. Shiva’s wife Pavarti was angry that Shiva inter-rupted her ablutions. In response to Shiva left her for six years letting Parvati’s anger diminish. Par-vati then decided she needed her own attendant. Then Parvati collected all the Sandalwood paste accumulated from Shiva’s devotees. Through her austerities Parvati had accumulated extensive oc-cult powers which she used to give life to a mold of her son, she called Ganesh. The next time Par-vati took a bath she ordered the devoted Ganesh

to keep everyone out. Then Shiva returned from his self imposed exile and found this young boy refusing entry to his him. Shiva became furious but couldn’t overpower Parvati’s son. Humiliat-ed, Shiva called on Brahma and Vishnu for help and they devised a plan to out maneuver Ganesh. They managed to defeat him by cutting off his head and then Parvati discovered her beloved son Ganesh had been decapitated by her own her husband Shiva. Mortified, Shiva asked the help of Brahma and Vishnu to bring him back to life. But unfortunately Ganesh’s head had already been disposed of. Therefore the three cosmic Gods went into the forest to look for a suitable head. The first animal they came across was an elephant so they took his head and put it on to Ganesh’s body and were able to bring Ganesha back to life and resolved that Ganesh should be the first god to be invoked to remove obstacles.

Now compare the Greek variation on the theme. There is a song of Orpheus which tells how Ophion was supplanted by Chronos, and Eurynome by Rhea. In Greek myth Chronos devoured his own children (Poseidon representing the sea, Demeter the earth, Hera the air, and Hestia heavenly fire). Chronos, as the King of the Golden Age controls the revolution of the seasons and cycles of time by devouring them. In Greek legend Chronos castrates and deposes his own father Uranus (the Sky) from the throne. Chronos swallowed each of his children as soon as they were born as it was prophesized that he would in turn be overthrown by his own son, Zeus. Rhea managed to save Zeus by feeding Chronos a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes. When the Titans were born, Uranus feared them and ate his children. Then Chronus, also fearing his children would usurp his throne, ate them as they were born. Rhea. furious about the treatment of her children, birthed her sixth one, Zeus, in secret on a island and gave Chronus a rock to eat instead. Then Zeus poisoned his father and his siblings were vomited out. Then Zeus declares war on the Titans and defeats them with the help of Hercules and Mount Olympus was secure again.

Cosmocratores establish cosmic order and symbolize the cosmic axis that sta-

bilizes the cosmos. This chart of Siva is an illustration of the same concept. The dome stands for the sky, and the umbrella pole that emerges from the top is the cosmic axis. Domes symbolize the divine character of the sky and the cosmic axis channels awareness and enlightenment to the Buddha sitting at the base. This cosmic chart of Gautama Bud-dha represents Him as the Cosmic axis being turned by angels. His enlightenment, dated to 528 B.C., puts him under a symbol of cosmic order, the bodhi tree. The leafy can-opy of this Tree of Knowledge symbolizes the divine character of the sky, and its trunk channels the awareness and compassion of enlightenment to the Buddha meditating at its base. Buddhist stupas are shrines built to honor Buddha, and they represent the uni-verse with symbols of its elements.

This image shows the Kurma Avatar of Vishnu, the sustainer of life, in the form of

a tortoise churning the Milky Way. In the Pura-nas, a portion of the cosmic Vishnu descended as the Tortoise to restore the essence of life and truth, the mystic nectar amrita, to mankind. Vishnu ordered the gods to churn the sea of milk by placing mount Mandara on his back to use as a churning stick. Using the serpent-king Vasuki as a rope, they began to churn the ocean. The demons took hold of one end of Vasuki and the devas held the other, twirling Mount Man-dara about. Cosmically this churning of the sea of milk relates to a period before the earth’s formation, the sea of milk being the expanse of space populated by the nebulae and diffuse seeds and substance of future worlds and their hierarchies.

Symbols of the Cosmic Axis


fruits of Tree of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life are forbidden from Adam and Eve so that they might not know immortality as the gods do has its origins in the Sumerian epic

of Gilgamesh. In Teutonic and Norse mythology Yggdrasil, the World Tree, supports the universe from the netherworld to the apex of the heavens. The branches of the Yggdrasill tree umbrella the earth with a celestial awning, while its trunk passes through Midgard—our world—on its way to various levels in the underworld. Midgard is centered in this universe and it is essentially a flat disk. A dwarf at each cardinal direction helps hold up the sky on the horizon, and Midgardsormr, the “World Serpent” curls around us in the surround-ing world ocean. Asgaard, like the Hindu mount Meru and the Greek mount Olympus, is the main sanctuary for the gods. A second root is watered from the well of the giant Mimer whose waters are the experience of life. Odin forfeited an eye in order to drink from the well, while Mimer has the use of Odin’s eye which is sunk in the bottom of the well. The third root is watered by Hvergelmir, source of all the rivers of nature which rises in Ni-flheim, the world of mists (nebulae) where worlds are born. Odin, the equivalent of the Greek Zeus, self sacrificed himself and hung on the the Ygg-drasil tree for nine days so that he could bring the wisdom of the runes to his people. The tree is a symbol of human awareness and consciousness.

The Nordic Yggdrasil or “Odin’s Tree” was conceived as an eternal ash tree. The gods of

Scandinavia were known as the Aesir or Asir, a word very close to Asir (the Egyptian Osiris). Gar-dens and trees etc, were important to Akkadians and Sumerians since the pictograph for their great city of Lagash was, again, a garden. The realm of the Nordic gods was known as Asgard, gard meaning “grove” or “garden.” The name of the Ti-tan Atlas may also derive from ash. Atlas was often seen holding a globe, but he was given the titles of “the wizard,” and “guardian of the heavens.” Ac-cording to tradition, Atlas was the son of Gaea the Earth Mother or Goddess. Interestingly her Roman name was Terra which derives from Eri, the god-dess of Ireland (or Eire). Atlas held up the heavens as did the Yggdrasil tree. He was related to the Hesperides, the nymphs who watched over the sa-cred apples of immortality. One of Atlas’ daughters was named Maera (Ma Eri). The word altar may derive from alder, another tree sacred to the an-cient adepts. An alderman would have been iden-tical with a Druid priest. Indeed, the word mayor is near to the Irish mayo, which denotes yew trees.

The sacred tree, originally assigned to the goddess was a sidereal motif signifying the polar axis. The fruits of the “tree” were the stars and planets. Spe-cifically, they were the stars of the circumpolar region. The Sumerian World Tree, Huluppu, con-nects heaven, earth, and underworld and paralells the Biblical story of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, The Tree stands at the universe’s center where it passes through the middle and unites the underworld, earth, and sky. In Genesis, the

The Milky Way was venerated by the Maya. They called it the World Tree, which was

represented by a tall majestic fl owering tree, the Ceiba. The Milky Way was also called the “Ser-pent”. The World Tree was erect when Sagittarius was well over the horizon climbing North. The star clouds that form the Milky Way were seen as the Tree of Life where all life came from. The Mayans gave special attention to Sagittarius, the center of our galaxy, where the World Tree meets the Ecliptic. The Ecliptic is represented as a bar crossing the major axis of the world tree, forming a cross on which the Christian Cross is based.

When the “Winter” Milky Way dominates the sky, it was called the “White Boned Serpent.” Here the Ecliptic crosses the Milky Way again, near the constellation of Gemini which was the approximate location of the Sun during Sum-mer Solstice. The Maya portrayed the Ecliptic in their artwork as a Double-Headed Serpent. The ecliptic is the path of the sun in the sky which is marked by the constellations of fi xed stars. Here the moon and the planets can be found because they are bound, like the Earth, to the sun. The constellations on the ecliptic are also called the zodiac.

Some other constellations on the ecliptic are identifi ed as a jaguar, at least one serpent, a bat,

a turtle, a xoc monster--that is, shark, or a sea monster. The Pleiades were seen as the tail of the rattlesnake. they called it “Tz’ab.” Mayans thought of the Milky Way as a mystic road along which souls walk into the Underworld. Crossing the Milky Way at the constellation Scor-pio is the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun, moon, and planets as they move against the back-ground of stars. Mayans believed that the point at which the Milky way appeared as a vertical band in the night sky represented the moment of

creation. Mayans used astronomy to predict future human events.

Carl Calleman’s re-search about the Mayan Calendar concludes that the on-going process of di-vine creation that we are living in is soon to be fulfi lled. Con-

sciousness has been evolving for billions of years and within a short span of time we will realize the higher purpose of our lives and what evolution has been all about. The changing energies of time encoded in the Mayan calendar is propelling our consciousness to evolve to a Cosmic Time Plan, and increasing numbers of people want to know if we are here to deliver the completion of a divine plan? Calleman, of course, is not observing a con-ventional calendar. He’s talking about the Source, the creative principle of continuous creation, or the Cosmic World Tree, what the Mayans call Hunab Ku. The Mayan calendar is a codifi cation of the evolution of consciousness being pulsated by the World Tree, and its glyphs and numbers symbolize these energies. A prophetic calendar system must be based on pulses of consciousness rather than the relative mechanical movements of the Earth, Moon and Sun. Do we, asks Calleman, want a calendar that supports our resonance with

the energies of divine process of creation or the mechanical movements of our local solar system? Many Pagan cultures used to cut down evergreen trees in December, moved them into the temple, and decorated them. Modern-day Pagans still do. In ancient civilizations the Xmas tree was a polar symbol of a stable cosmos and its annual return to our homes represents the constant cycle of re-newal which we still long for in our uncertain world. The ancient Romans decorated their trees with bits of metal and replicas of their god, Bac-chus. They also placed twelve candles on the tree in honor of their sun god, Mithras.

In Northern Europe, the ancient Druids tied fruit and attached candles to evergreen tree branches, in honor of their god Woden. (Wednesday) The trees joined holly, mistletoe, the wassail bowl and the Yule log as symbols of the season. Mistletoe was considered a divine plant and it symbolized love and peace. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe is Druid in origin. Trees were viewed as symbolizing eternal life. All predated Christianity. Scandinavian solstice traditions greatly influenced our celebrations besides the hanging of ornaments on evergreen trees. Their ancient festival was called Yuletide and celebrated the return of the sun. One of their traditions was the Yule log which was the cen-ter of the trunk of a tree that was dragged to a large fireplace where it was supposed to burn for twelve days. From this comes the twelve days of Christmas. They set a candle in the window to send a glimmer of light into the dark December night. The colors red and green were important as they symbolize the greenery of nature and our bright red Christ spirit.

The concept of the winter solstice is to encour-age us to let our spiritual enlightenment af-fect those around us. The Cabala, the mystical wing of the Jews, and its Sephirothal Tree, with its three higher and the seven lower lights ra-diating on its ten branches symbolize human chakras. The bright ornaments on the Christmas

tree characterize our possession of these twelve “treasures of light,” and are the real gifts from God during Christmas. This is stated clearly in Revelation 22, where it is said that the tree of life shall bear twelve of fruits upon its branches, and its leaves shall be for the healing of the nations. This Christmas let’s focus on this chapter of Revelation rather than the apocalyptic chap-ter 19: 11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and be-hold a white horse… which fundamentalists have taken literally and are using as an excuse for the apocalypse between them and secularists. Unfortunately fundamentalists await the Apoca-lypse with anticipation as they think only they can be saved. Carl G. Jung‘s interpretation of the 12th Chapter of Revelation saw the possibility of the di-vine Christos being born in all of humanity even though chapter 12, verse 1, describes the Universal Mother, Isis, with the sun, and the moon under her feet and, with a crown of stars—the signs of the zodiac.

Moslems interpret this woman to be the Law of God that descended upon Muhammad. The sun with which she was clothed, and the moon un-der her feet, are the Persian and Ottoman kingdoms; for the emblem of Persia is the sun, and the Ottoman Empire is the crescent moon. Thus the two kingdoms shine like stars

Just as scholars speculate that Christmas and Easter holidays coincide with pagan holidays

they question whether Valentine’s Day was cho-sen to usurp the Lupercalia festival of purification held on February 15, originating from a pastoral festival before the foundation of Rome. Although Lupercalia has its roots in Lupus, the wolf, it is more specifically connected to the goat god Pan, Baphomet, and Azazel, god of victory; equiva-lent of the Greek Prometheus who gave the spark of life to mankind. The goat in ancient animal

symbology signi-fied regeneration and reproductive power. According to the Zohar, the goat-men min-gled with mortal women, having come to earth to do so (Genesis 6:2-4). Baphom-et, the Sabbatic Goat, is also

known as the Great God Pan, Abraxas,Thanateros, or the Horned God. The goat-god Aegipan was nurtured by Amalthea with the infant Zeus. In Greek mythology Amalthea is the Greek she-goat who suckled the infant Zeus with her milk when his mother Rhea concealed him in a cave in Crete to keep him from being devoured by his father Cronos, Father Time. Amalthea is asso-ciated with the cornucopis, the broken-off horn of the goat. As the horn of Amalthea it became a symbol of inexhaustible abundance and was adopted by various gods, among them Hermes, Demeter, Gaia, Pluto, and Cybele.

When Zeus reached maturity he created his thun-der-shield (aigis) from her hide and the horn of plenty or cornucopia from her crown. Amaltheia was placed amongst the stars as the constella-tion Capricorn, The rising of Capella marked the onset of stormy weather for the Greeks. Indeed, the word aigis denoted both “stormy weather” and “goat-skin,” hence their close connection in myth. So Lupercus is one component in the festi-val of Lupercalia, but the name has roots in other mythology and the Romans changed the she-goat into a she-wolf. The cave in which Romulus and Remus were cared for by the she-wolf (tradition-ally called Lupa), was called the Lupercal. This cave was the spot where Lupercalia was cel-ebrated on the ides of February (February 15th). There are records of the festival taking place in 44 B.C. after the Lupercal cave had been rebuilt by Augustus, thus solidifying the theory that this festival had been going on for many years.

The purpose of the festival was to announce spring by purging impurities and preparing for the fertile months. The Pentateuch records how each year on the Day of Atonement a goat would be cast into the wilderness “for Azazel”, carrying on its back the sins of the Jewish people. More-over, Azazel, one of the two leaders of the fallen angels, was said to have fostered a race of de-mons known as the seirim, or ‘he-goats’. They

are mentioned several times in the Bible and were worshipped by someJews. There is even some indication that women actually copulated with these goat-demons, for it states in the Book of Leviticus: “And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats (seirim), after whom they go a whoring”, perhaps a distant echo of the way in which the Watchers in the Book of Enoch, had taken mortal wives. Happy Valen-tines Day.

Yet the real significance of this day is the love affair with the Galactic Center represented by the arrow of Cupid, Eros and Sagittarius. In this image the Lover, Adonis, must make a decision between Aphrodite exposing her breasts (Vice) and Persephone hiding her breasts (Virtue). Cu-pid hovers over Adonis aiming his arrow at Aph-rodite. Cupid aiming his arrow at Aphrodite is interchangeable with Sagittarius, the archer, aim-ing his arrow at the heart of the galaxy. Sagit-tarius points to the Galactic Center to direct us to

the heart of our spirituality. The eagle, Scorpio’s higher form, soars above Persephone. The con-stellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio reside on opposite sides of the heart of the Galactic Center from which the Milky Way is formed.

The Hindu star design formed of two opposed in-terlocking triangles symbolizes Siva/Shakti, the union of masculine and feminine principles. Lov-ers are a union of opposites but complimentary components. Venus seeks to unite the seemingly

opposing forces of Gemini into harmony. Venus, as the ruler of six, creates the urge for peace and love with family and friends. Love is generally understood as roman-tic, passionate or as the meeting of a new soul-mate. But, at a deeper level, this key represents personal choices to be made in some sphere of life. This choice is not an easy one, since there are usually too many options. The Lovers key role is to relax and access inner wisdom, encouraging surrender to the profound energy of Love, even if it seems impractical. To dance on the royal road with your ‘Beloved,’ is the most power-ful energy of all. This key urges you to feel the life-giving energy of Love for all those around you. Pure love is a state of ‘Being.’ All

obstacles in life can be overcome through uncon-ditional love, a force, which is an expression of the soul. Universal love has nothing to do with in-fatuation, attachment or lust. When unconditional love is experienced there is no separation. Love is the totality of ‘Oneness.’

The Christian Church has always been associ-ated with fish in the role of “Fisher of Men.”

Christ himself was, as was John the Baptist, and the early Christians used the fish sign of the “icthys” to designate themselves. Paradoxically the church will tell you Ichthus is an acronym for; Jesus Christ God Son Savior. But in truth it is the continuation of Dagon worship. And this is why we have all the fish symbols in Christi-anity. Dagon, Oannes and Enki are essentially synonymous and originate from the Hindu Fish avatar of Vishnu. Dagon plunged into the waters of the womb to be reborn. This may be why the Catholic Church pray to Mary (mare or maris, the Latin name for the ocean or the sea). In Chaldean

times the head of the church was the representative of Dagon, he was infallible and peo-ple had to kiss his ring and his slip-per, and he was also addressed as ‘Your Holiness’. he also wore the fish mitre and robes.

Catholics are taught that Good Friday is a special day, a day of abstinence from meat, a day to eat fish! Friday was not the day of the crucifixion of Christ and neither was Easter Sunday morn-ing the time of His resurrection, so this is ob-viously not the true foundation of Easter. From where then does Easter observance come? Did the apostles ever observe Easter? Did the early Christians dye easter eggs or go to the bakery and buy hot cross buns? Did Peter or Paul ever conduct an Easter sunrise service? Where did all of these customs come from? Pagans!

Bibical scriptures never associate Friday with fish. The word “Friday” comes from “Freya”, who was the goddess of peace, joy and fertility. And as the symbol of her fertility, the FISH was regarded as being sacred to her! The very word “fish” comes from the original word “dagon” im-plying fecundity. The Romans called Venus the goddess of sexual fertility which spawned our modern word “venereal”. Friday was regarded as her sacred day, because it was believed that the planet Venus ruled the first hour of Friday and thus it was called dies Veneris. The fish was re-garded as sacred to Ashtoreth, the name under which the Israelites worshipped the pagan god-dess. And in ancient Egypt, Isis is represented with a fish on her head.

Easter is not unique to Christianity for 2,000 years before Christ Babylonians honored the res-urrection of their god, Tammuz, who was brought back from the underworld by his mother/wife, Ishtar (after whom the festival was named). The King James Version is the only version of the Bible that has inserted the word Easter instead of Passover. It is well known that the word “Easter” is not a Christian term as it comes from the the goddess of spring. Easter is a contemporary form of Ishtar, Eostre, Ostera, or Astarte. Ishtar, the divine personification of the planet Venus was pronounced “Easter” as we pronounce it today!

Orpheus represents the Cosmic Christ which symbolizes the universal cycles of death and resurrection. The Cross represents the Great Celestial Conjunction when the Earth Cross of the Zodiac aligns with the Galactic Cross of the solar zodiac which occurs every 6,500 years when one of the four fixed signs of the zodiac align with the Galactic Equator at solstices or equinoxes. This Cosmic In-telligence has been named God, Christos, Ain Soph, or Parabrahmam. When you understand that you are not the personality/body/mind/complex but the spiritual essence of the Galactic Center, you will experience being, I AM.

The Cosmic Christ

There are numerous crucified saviors who, in their various forms, represent the crucified Cosmic Christ, whereby God’s spirit is symbolically spread amongst humanity.


the Egyptian Mystery Schools were adopted by Christian Gnostics and the Roman Cath-olic Church.

The last night of Jesus is based on the story of the last night of Horus in the Egyptian Book

of the Dead. The drama of the temptation, cru-cifixion and resurrection only make sense when understood in the light of archetypal, universal events. If we take Leonardo’s painting of The Last Supper as reality it would have lasted for several hours. After that came the walk and re-turn from the Mount of Olives. Then the scene changes to the Garden of Gethsemane includ-ing Jesus’ long agony and sweat; the incident of the disciples falling asleep; the arrest and Jesus’ temporary victory over his captors. “This is your hour,” Jesus says to his captors and, believe it or not, there are three separate trials which involve the organizing of all the requirements of a full blown trial. From his conviction at the trial we go to the mockery of the soldiers who put a crown of thorns on his head and march him to Golgotha with the cross on his bleeding shoulder.

This dramatic ritual becomes debatable when presented as historical fact. The New Tes-

tament tells us that Jesus is nailed to the cross in company with two thieves who witness his final agony. Here we have the record of facts claimed as historical truth, found only in one book, with four variations by writers who were not there to wit-ness the drama. And, on investigation the whole event as virtual truth crumbles under the pressure of comparative myth and religion. We can only understand the life of Christ through the symbols of the Mystery Religions which dramatized the death of the ego and the resurrection of the divine Christ soul. These two concepts are at the core of ancient wisdom. The image of Jesus earthly in-carnation to shows us how to be victorious over mortality and how to gain victory by vulnerability and surrender on the cross is Food for thought for any ‘Doubting Thomas’!

The thesis of Alvin Boyd Kuhn’s, A Rebirth of Christianity, is that had the gospels been present-ed as an invisible reality of inner experience and eternal truth, they would have become meaning-ful for us all. All the drama of temptation, cruci-fixion and resurrection can be elevated from Pass-over realism to the true significance of all souls in human experience. Sincere religious worship can dissolve separation between the human and the divine integrating them into one divine human, so making peace. The Cross of the Crucifixion has been a burden on our backs for two thousand years.

The early Church Fathers changed spiritual alle-gory into historical fact and denied Christianity’s connections with older religions even though St. Paul proclaims that the whole Gospel story is an allegory. The age-old emphasis of Christianity has been in the heavens now that millions have been ex-posed to the Bhagavad Gita and other sacred texts they are recognizing the value of human relation-

ships and the search for self knowledge. We must understand that we are a universe in miniature and that God sends us to earth to become the master of that universe. If Christianity recognizes that the time has come to become truly Catholic and join the world’s great religions it must focus on awak-ening the divine spirit, the Christos, in mankind.

Thus the Egyptian krast was the pre-Christian Christ, and the pictures in the Roman Catacombs preserve the proof. The Gospels adopted the Krst, or mummy-Christ, from the Egyptians who in turn adopted the Hindu God Krishna whose story is the same as that of Horus, also takes his name from the Sanskrit root ‘krst’ meaning ‘Christ’ and was formerly spelled ‘Christna’

Now let’s focus on the Egyptian word Karast which was used to designate the mummy on the coffin lid. The “Kr” consonant can easily meta-morphize into the Greek Chr, we can not dismiss the similarity of the word to the Greek Chrestos or Christos. When, then, Osiris is called the Karast-mummy, the meaning is that of the incarnate spirit. Alfred Boyd Kuhn’s book, Ancient Egypt, the Light of the World makes the connection be-tween Karast and Christ which was continued by the Christian Gnostics. Immediately connected with the Christos is the term Messiah, since both terms, the one Greek, the other Egypto-Hebraic, mean “the anointed.” The word Messiah is traced to the Egyptian mes, to anoint or to be born. Mes-su was the Egyptian word for “the anointed” initi-ate in the Mystery rites.

The Mystery of the Mummy

The mystery of the mummy is the mystery of Christ. The word mummy is derived from the Egyptian mum, to “initiate into the mysteries. ‘


Christ the anointed is none other than the Osiris-karast, and that the karast mummy

risen to its feet as Osiris-sahu was the prototypal Christ. The word krs denotes the embalmment of the mummy, and the krst, as the mummy, was made in the process of preparation by purifying, anointing, and embalming. To karas the dead body was to embalm it, to bandage it, to make the mummy. The passing of the karast into the Christ is depicted in the gnostic iconography. It is in the form of a child bound up in the swaddling clothes of a small Egyptian mummy, with the halo and cross of the four quarters round its head, which show its solar origin. It is the divine infant which has the head of Ra in the Ritual who says, “I am the babe; I renew myself, and I grow young again” (chs. 42 and 43).

Egyptian Pharaohs were anointed with the oil of the sacred crocodile and thus gained the Messeh’s strength. From Messeh” comes from the word “Messiah” which means to anoint. The mystery of the Mummy is the mystery of the Christ.

The crocodile is the first to meet the devouring fires of the morning sun, and soon personi-

fied the solar heat. When the sun arose, it was like the arrival “of the divine soul which informs the Gods.” The mummy donned the head of a croco-dile to show that it was a soul arriving from the earth. “Osirified” became the god Khem, the name for ancient Egypt,

The Mystery of the Mummy


The eight pointed cross symbolized the alchemi-cal marriage of the the Sun and the Galactic Cen-ter when they are in alignment with each other. It is a cosmic wedding that is celebrated every 26,000 years. Easter should be a festival of joy if the Mayans are right.

It is difficult to dismiss Mayan Cosmology be-cause they left extraordinary evidence that their

“Time” keeping methods are extremely accurate. Their pyramids like the one at Chichen-Itza in Mexico are precisely aligned to the annual Sol-stices and the Equinoxes caused by the precession of the Earth’s axis as it orbits the Sun. The Pyra-mid of Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl) at Chichen-Itza is a highly accurate time keeping devise of the “Precession of the Equinoxes”. The ancient Ma-yan astronomers accurately predicted, over 1500 years ago, the exact alignment of the Earth, the Sun, the Pleiades and the Galactic Center in 2012. December 21, 2012 coincides with the Winter Solstice when the Sun sets west of Chichen-Itza.

Then an extraordinary event occurs: As the Sun sets in the early afternoon, the shadow of the pyra-mid’s northwest edge will project a moving pattern of light that joins and illuminates the sculpted ser-pent head of Quetzalcoatl at the base of the stair-

way. Within a thirty-four minute period, the serpent, formed by this play of light and shadow will appear to descend to the earth, as the sun leaves each stair, going from the top to the bottom. This combined effect creates the visual appearance of the body of the serpent descending the pyramid. In addition, on December 21, 2012, the tail of the serpent projected up from the top of the pyramid will be pointing pre-cisely to the star cluster Pleiades. What this means is that Quetzalcoatl will return either from Venus or the East or from both. This does not mean that Quetzalcoatl is human, for he was a winged feath-ered serpent, but rather an energy that will return to transform us. Many believe that the energies of Christ and Quetzalcoatl are interchangeable.

The pyramids at Teotihuacán ( “City of the Gods”) constructed just north of Mexico City preceded the Mayas. The book “The Pyramids of Teotihuacan,” examines the internal structure and placement of theses pyramids which imagines the Mayas counting orbits and cycles of the planetary bodies in a sym-bolic fashion on the pyramids. They are also aligned to the Pleiades as are the Egyptian pyramids at Giza. The Mayas predict that on December 21, 2012 at around 11:11 universal time, there will be a pre-cise alignment of our Sun with the Galactic Center.

The Secret of the Cross

Quetzalcoatl


2011 and 2012 is projected as the beginning of a new Era of heightened Con-sciousness. Perhaps, a colossal emission of a yet unknown form of energy

will burst out of our Galactic Center on that date hopefully to transform the world. Perhaps the recent signals from the galactic center are cosmic codes of awareness sent from the Creator to put us on another cycle on the royal road to life. This is not the end but the beginning of a new state of consciousness predicted by the Mayan Calendar. As the Tarot and the Mayan Calendar were created by Thoth and Quetzalcoatl, the same god with two different names, they both will prepare you for this monumental event.

When the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. decided that human sal-vation could only be achieved by the suffering Jesus on the Cross, who rose on the third day to judge the living and the dead. A bloodbath between religions would not have occurred if the foremost Christian Gnostics, Clement of Al-exandria, Origen and others had been listened to.


The first chapter of the Egyptian “Book of the Dead” entitled “The Coming Forth by Day” refers to a state of unconsciousness that is transformed by rigorous self examination and the longing to become enlightened. The cru-cifixion symbolizes the victory of the higher self over the false ego by realizing its true Self at One with God and the universe. The human body of Christ on the cross symbol-ized the death and surrender of the ego and the resurrection of the True Self, the Christos. These two concepts are at the core of ancient wisdom going back to the Vedas and the Tarot.

The last night of Jesus is based on the last night of Horus in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Cross of the Crucifixion has been a burden on our backs for over two thousand years. The early Church Fathers threw caution to the wind when they changed spiritual allegory into his-torical fact The Church disassociated itself from earlier religions even though St. Paul proclaims that the whole Gospel story is an allegory. The turmoil caused by the cover-up by the Passion Week is even more serious than the rampant pe-dophilia among the Catholic priesthood today.

V o t a n Quetzalcoatl,Thoth


For the first three hundred and fifty years of the Piscean Age Christians celebrated the birth of the Christ on March 25! This custom was changed by an encyclical of Pope Julian II, in the year 345 A.D.

Pagans designated the winter solstice as the date of the rebirth of the solar god in the year, and

it is evident that by 345 A.D. the consensus of tra-dition forced Christians to conform to the Pagan calendar of festivals. And all this points to the ob-vious... that neither the vernal nor the winter date is not the actual date of Jesus’ human birth. Can Christians face the fact that Christ's birth and resur-rection are astrological and not historical events?

The only grounds for debate are over seasonal symbolism. Easter does not mean a physical resur-rection. We find the Book of Ecclesiastes saying: "The body returns to dust, but the soul to God who

gave it." Likewise St. Paul declares (1 Cor. I5:35) that "some man will say, How are the dead raised up; and with what body do they come?" And the apostle then gives the answer to this pivotal ques-tion, which, had his Church heeded it, would have spared it the agonizing confusion that has plagued it for centuries. "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body." And he reminds us that we have a spiritual body. Had Christians contin-ued the science of the soul, of which the ancient Sages were adepts, Church theology would have preserved knowledge of the inner spiritual es-sence. "



The Secret of the Cross and the Circle

The true message of Jesus, the Christ is that each human could become, as He was – a Christ-ed being, fully aware of the soul’s true essence.

Nick Anthony Fiorenza, Earth’s Precessional Cycle The Sacred Geometry of Global Change, tells us that just as Earth nests within our solar system, so too does our solar system nest safely within the care of our galaxy.”… “These three intersecting as-trophysical planes, the galactic plane, the ecliptic plane, and the Earth’s equatorial plane, all tilted at unique angles to one another, create the geo-metric orientation of the two intersecting lines or cross members of the Holy Cross. The cross in a circle, is often depicted in ancient esoteric societ-ies, in sacred religious orders of today, in indig-enous cultures, and in petroglyphs around the globe. This symbol not only represents a funda-mental foundation upon which many faiths are built, but is also made to remind us, especially in times of darkness, that something profound is to occur for the entire Earth and for all of her people.

This symbol is a promise of an event leading to the spiritual evolutionary fulfillment of all life. The Earth’s Precessional Holy Cross is catalyst for a tremendous acceleration of change on Earth. The Galactic Center according the Maya and many other cosmic cultures is where time and space have collapsed totally and do not exist. We are aligning with the Galactic Center as we complete the Great Cycle. This alignment is called the second coming of the Christ. It is the Alchemical Wedding. It is the Galactic Crucifixion of the Earth. It is when we become One with the higher vibrations from the Galactic Center. Now, as we complete this great cycle, we move through the Galactic Cen-tre beyond birth and death into a higher dimen-sional Solar System to become a Sun. As the Sun becomes a Central Sun, the Central Sun becomes a Greater Central Sun…..ad Infinitum.


Long ago Angelus Silesius, a Christian mys-tic, admonished Christendom: Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, but not within thyself, thy soul will be forlorn, The cross on Golgotha thou lookest to in vain, unless within thyself be set up again.

T rue religion taught that God is love not wrath. God waits patiently while we destroy

the layers of illusion that cloud our knowledge of the True Self. God does not judge our behavior and send us to hell for in the spirit world there is no heaven or hell. Hell exists in a mind that is uncon-scious of its divinity. For the ancient Egyptians the human mind was inner arena of consciousness where the lessons of the soul were learnt. The es-sential truth of the resurrection is of the One life force, the One soul, the One Sustaining Power constantly renewing itself in the human mind.

T he Swastika is a mystic symbol -- an emblem of the the ‘Sacred Four’. The two crossed

lines represent spirit and matter, male and fe-male, positive and negative. It shows man to be a link between heaven and earth, for the horizontal arm having one hook pointing up, the other down. The symbol is engraved on Buddhist temples and every prehistoric building in India, as well as in Greece, among the ancient Scandinavians, and in ancient Mesoamerica. It has been called the Jai-na Cross; Fylfot, Mjolnir, or Thor’s Hammer by the Scandinavians; and in the Chaldean Book of Numbers the Worker’s Hammer. It contains the key to the seven great mysteries of Cosmos.


Prometheus’ name means forethought and originates in the Sanskrit word Pramantha,

the Swastika. Prometheus’ liver being eaten every day and regenerating itself is the Greek version of the Dying and Resurrecting God.


There are numerous crucified saviors who in their various forms represent the cruci-

fied Cosmic Christ whose god spirit is sym-bolically spread amongst humanity. The Karast Mummy was the Prototype of the Corpus Chris-ti, the Body of Christ. Osiris is the Karast, the anointed Son of the Father, of the Egyptian Mystery Schools which were adopted by Chris-tian Gnostics and the Roman Catholic Church. The Orphic religion is based on the life of Or-pheus, the Greek god of love, who suffered a similar death to Osiris who was cut into fourteen pieces. The Hindu god, Krishna was pierced by arrows and died in the river Ganges. His murder-er then nailed him to a cross shaped tree so that, like Prometheus, he would be prey to vultures.

Quetzalcoatl himself wore a robe lined with crosses and there were crosses as well as the

paintings on the temple walls. The Borgia Codex shows Quetzalcoatl and other humans crucified with him. The spiritual meaning of the cross and the swastika is buried under two thousand years of religious intolerance. These symbols were origi-nally sacred to all religions as they symbolize the polar axis as it rotates through the solar system. The Cross is the best-known religious symbol of Christianity. It is generally seen as a represen-tation of the crucifixion of the Christ, but the Cross in the Tarot represents the Great Celestial Conjunction of the fixed Galactic Cross and Zo-diac Cross (equinox solstice axis). Worship of the Djed pillar is a ritualistic practice of ancient Egypt. The Djed was stated to have arisen from the primordial mound of creation and believed to be the backbone of the Egyptian god Ptah, al-ternatively Osiris. The kings of Memphis per-formed a seven day ceremony known as “raising the djed pillar”, which not only served as a meta-phor for the stability of the monarch, but also symbolized the resurrection of Osiris when the Nile flooding was at its height. This seven day delay represented the god’s seven-day gestation in the womb of Nut, his mother. On the last day, the king and priests raised a djed pillar as a sym-bol of Osiris’ rejuvenation and strength.

The origins of the symbolical slaying of a god or a zodiacal age are explained in Da-

vid Ulansey’s book, “The Origins of the Mith-raic Mysteries.” Mithras was a solar deity whose worshippers called him redeemer; his religion died out in the Roman Empire not long after the advent of Christianity. Obviously the Church wanted Jesus Christ to be as powerful as Mith-ras so that He could compete with the plethora of ancient Middle Eastern Gods of the time.

The phenomenon of the precession of the equi-noxes provides the key to unlocking the secret

of the astronomical symbolism of the Mithraic Tauroctony or bull slaying. His killing of the bull symbolizes His supreme power: namely, the power to move the entire universe, which he had demon-strated by shifting the cosmic sphere in such a way that the spring equinox had moved out of Taurus the Bull to Aries, the Ram. In another variation on the theme Hercules slays the Nemean lion of the constellation Leo said by the Greeks to have been placed in the heavens after Heracles slew it.

Jesus came in human form to embody the Christ Spirit from the Central Sun of Suns.

If he were to do otherwise how could we as-pire to, as he exhorted, become even “greater than He?” Yet we have not listened and con-tinue to see life through a “dark glass” as there is still too much darkness in our world. But, as we immerse ourselves in self-exami-nation and integrate the Laws of the Universe encoded in the Tarot we begin to see the path to our own enlightenment, our own Christ-hood as Jesus, the Christ, wished for all of us.

Christian imagery placed the lamb on the cross symbolizing the end of the Age of Aries. The Lamb of God had been worshiped previ-ously for 2160 years. Christian churches

have been found before the 4th century with a hu-

man fi gure nailed to the cross but the fi gure was not Jesus but the Greek God Orpheus of the Orphic religion on which much of early Christianity was based. The Roman God, Mithras was also crucifi ed and rose again on the 25th of March. The myth of the dying crucifi ed God is the center-piece in all ancient religions.

One of the myths surrounding the God Odin is that he hung on the World Tree Yggdrasil. Óðins Rune Song is a section of the Hávamál where Odin reveals the origins of the runes, or of secret knowledge. In section 138, Odin describes his self-sacrifi ce (to himself):

I know that I hung on a windy tree nine long nights, wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin, myself to myself, on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run..

The Old Testament, recorded in the Age of Aries, has many references to the sacrifice

of the Lamb and Ram. The Ram sphinx is the astrological gateway to the age of Aries. Jesus Christ often used the symbolic reference to the Lamb in his teachings and Parables. In an-cient Greece it was associated with the Golden Fleece. The Age of Aries was also the time of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten; who tried to replace polytheism with monotheism. Moses is thought to have ushered in the Age of Aries (Ram or Lamb), which is why Moses condemns his own people for worshipping a “golden calf” (Bull) after coming down from Mount Sinai. It was the end of the Age of Taurus in 2860 B.C. This is confirmed with the accuracy of the an-cient Mayan calendar.

When Jesus is called the Lamb of God in John 1:29 and John 1:36, it is in reference to His be-ing the perfect and ultimate sacrifice for sin, not for being Lord of the Universe. Jesus is supposedly born on the cusp of Aries and Pi-sces and as Christians were aware of the pagan symbolism they correctly placed the Lamb, symbolizing the Age of Aries, on the Cross at the end of the Age of Aries and it was much later that an idealized form of Jesus Christ is placed on the Cross. The birth of Jesus was known by the “three wise men,” – who are the three stars of Orion – because, in reality, they were following the Rising Sign of the Fish, (Pi-sces) and so began this Age of Vesica Pisces.

As we approach the end of the Piscean Age, there is much talk of the “Second Coming.”

For years Christian doctrine stated that Jesus himself would come as he had before. But when we look at the teachings on ‘Love’ contained in the Nag Hammadi scrolls discovered in Decem-ber, 1945, we see that the ‘Second Coming’ of Christ is really the inner Christos awakening in Man. The scrolls, which prophesied the crucifix-ion of the Old Testament God, Jehovah, the en-emy of the true spiritual God, ‘Love’ teach us that this spiritual awakening is the true revelation.

Vesica Pisces

Fish Gods

There is also another layer to the ‘Fish’ sym-bolism. The earliest gods and goddesses

came from the sea in all mythology. Oceanus was the Titan god of the sea. In Sumerian my-thology, Capricorn, the fish goat is associated with Ea/Enki, Lord of the watery deep. Enki, created a man of clay to replace the Igigi gods as laborers in his underwater ‘Garden of the Gods.’ His brother Enlil (God of the Wind) who is later called Jehovah wanted to destroy the human race but Enki told Utnapishtim (Noah in the Bible) to

Matsya (Fish-Avatar) of Vishnu,

Enki-Oannes-Poseidon

build the ark. Oannes, the earliest Babylonian god was, according to Apollodorus, a compos-ite of man and fish. Representations of this fish-god have been found among the sculptures of Nineveh. En-ki, and Oannes, the Chaldean Dag also have a connection with the Hindu Matsya (Fish-Avatar) of Vishnu, who preserved the Ve-das and the seeds of life from age to age. Vishnu told Vaivasvata to build an ark. With an im-pressive lineage such as this why wouldn’t Je-sus be called son of “dag” which means “fish?’


On the winter solstice at 11.11 am on Decem-ber 21st, 2012 the sun will be located at the

exact centre of the cross that is formed when the Ecliptic and the Galactic Centre meet where a massive black hole called Sagr A sits in the cen-tre of the Milky Way. This is the birth canal of the Age of Aquarius whose water will wash away the religious dogma of the Piscean Age. This con-junction between the sun and the black hole (the black sun) is the moment when the old Platonic (25,920 year) zodiacal cycle ends and a new Pla-tonic Year begins.

Moira Simms, archaic futurist, reminds us that: “according to the texts of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Djed revealed when one world age ends and another begins.” The above image shows the ahker of the two horizons, two lion-headed sphinx-like figures facing opposite direc-tions, falling on the Leo/Virgo and Aquarius/Pi-sces equinox axis and crossed by the Djed pillar marking the galactic meridian of center/edge.

The cross is the best-known religious symbol of Christianity. It is generally seen as a representa-tion of the crucifixion of the Christ, but the Cross represents the Great Celestial Conjunction of the fixed Galactic Cross and Zodiac Cross (equinox solstice axis). It is encoded in Tarot cards X (Wheel of Fortune) and XX (Judgment). When this cross is projected onto the zodiac where the Galactic

Galactic Cross

Cross (four pointed cross) is placed on top of the Earth Cross (four pointed cross), an eight pointed cross is created. This esoteric knowl-edge can be traced back to the Rosicrucians, (creators of the Raider Waite Tarot deck) whose Rose Cross is an eight pointed cross (symbol of the Great Celestial Conjunction). However it is said that the real origins of this esoteric knowl-edge can be traced back to the Knights Templar who encoded it in their cathedrals and the Tarot.

The cross is a pagan symbol that was worshiped in Egypt thousands of years before Je-sus was born. The Roman Cath-olic Church adopted the cross symbol at least 600 years after Jesus was crucified.

The Serpent upon a Cross was an Egyptian Stan-dard. It occurs repeatedly upon the Grand Stair-case of the Temple of Osiris at Philæ; and on the pyramid of Giza are represented two kneeling figures erecting a Cross, on the top of which is a serpent erect. The Crux Ansata was a Cross with a coiled Serpent above it; and it is perhaps the most common of all emblems on Egyptian Monuments, carried in the hand of almost every figure of a Deity or a Priest. It was, as we learn by the monuments, the form of the iron tether-pins, used for making fast to the ground the cords by which young animals were confined: and as used by shepherds, became a symbol of Royalty to the Shepherd Kings. They worshiped the Serpent and the Cross since the beginning of recorded history. Priests of the Mystery Schools gradually corrupt-ed themselves and were destroyed by Christianity.


Of course we can’t have the birth of the Mes-siah without the Divine Mother figure. Yet,

her existence in history and pre-history has been fraught misinformation and mystery. The role of the Sacred Woman in the Christian tradition has caused the most consternation to the Church. Going back as far as the rule of Constantine, the shrines and temples of Isis (the Egyptian goddess) were destroyed because by 58 B.C.E. the Cult of Isis had altars on the Capitoline and fifty-three chapels in Rome alone and almost every Greek city and village had its Isis-temple. Yet, Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria, had openly embraced Isis and transformed her into Mary, the mother of Jesus. When examined closely the highly revered ‘Black Virgins’ in the Notre Dame Cathedrals proved to be statues of Isis! Originally Isis was pictured as a woman wearing a long sheath dress and crowned with the hieroglyphic sign for a throne , sometimes holding a lotus. After her assimilation of Hathor, Isis’s headdress was replaced with that of Hathor: the horns of a cow on her head, and the solar disc between them. Usually, she was depicted with her son, the god Horus, and sometimes as a bird fly-ing above Osiris’s body. Isis is most often seen holding the ankh sign, but is sometimes seen with Hathor’s attributes, the sacred sistrum rattle and

Winged Isis Mary and Jesus

the fertility bearing menat necklace. When the earliest teachings of the church first emerged, it was devoid of a mother-goddess.

However, since the ancient world was perme-ated with the cults of Isis, Demeter, and Cybele, it was It is impossible for Christianity to conquer the hearts and minds of the Roman Empire with-out filling the void with a Divine Mother Goddess. So Isis was transformed and her image became that of The Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, and Per-fect Mother. Isis was the revered Madonna of the pre-Christian world. For centuries, Catholics mis-took these images for Mary and Jesus. Sometimes, Osiris was depicted with his wife and child; and the three became the prototype of the Holy Fam-ily. The depiction of Isis suckling the child Horus is reminiscent of the imagery of Mary and Jesus, but preceded Christianity by thousands of years

Divine Mothers


Another, more subliminal problem for the Church is the Tarot number XIX, the Sun.

As we have seen above, Jesus was called the Sun, but not the local Sun in our solar system, which is just one of approximately 200 billion suns (stars), which constitute the Milky Way. The Sun in this Tarot refers to the hyper-cosmic (Spiritual) Sun at the Galactic Center from which all stars in all galaxies are born. This is the spiritual Sun which

Sun Godstransmits the highest vibration that we are capa-ble of absorbing. No religion owns the ‘Spiritual Sun,’ but The Church wanted us to believe that Je-sus, like Mithras, was the Roman Deus Sol Invic-tus, the Unconquered Sun God who personified the spiritual force that assumes the characteristics of each zodiacal sign. The collage below depicts gods that are symbols of the sun. Mithras,Horus, Apollo, and Osiris.

The Egyptians called the Galactic Core the ‘Eye of Ra” which represented Ra’s or the

Galactic Core’s explosive nature as they saw his glancing eye as the way the zodiac’s stars and planets were created which they poetically called Ra’s children.. Most researchers think that Ra represents our local Sun but Ra really represents the Galactic Core from which all is created in our solar system. The Galactic Core transmits its en-ergy through Alcyone the central sun of the Ple-iades which in turn transmits through our Sun.


Kalahansa, the swan in eternity; becomes Parabrahman. The ‘Swan (Hansa) is

the symbol of the ‘First Cause’ which had no name in the beginning. Later it was pic-tured as an ever invisible, mysterious Bird that dropped an Egg into Chaos, which Egg becomes the Universe. Hence Parabrahman was called Kalahansa, ‘the swan in ‘Space and Time.’ who lays a ‘Golden Egg’ at the beginning of each Mahamanvantara. Maha = great + manvantara =a great cycle of cosmic manifestation and activity, whether of a uni-verse, solar system, or planet. The mahaman-

vantara of a solar system or Life of Brahma is a period of 311,040,000,000,000 terrestrial years. It typifies the great Circle, or O, itself a symbol for the universe and its spherical bodies” (SD 1:359).

In the Vedas it is referred to as tat (that) as opposed to the world of manifestation called idam (this). It is No-thing because it is impos-sible to know that which there is in this prin-ciple because it is, as the Zohar says, above Wisdom itself.

Cosmic Egg


The Easter egg derives from the pagan custom of exchanging eggs at the birth-time of the

year. Originally it had a deep esoteric meaning completely lost today where the custom is still held in the East although commonly candies in the shape of eggs are exchanged. Giving a fel-low disciple an egg in the old Mystery schools suggested the rebirth of nature, so apparent in the springtime, or again the initiation ceremonies that prevailed at the spring equinox, thereby ex-pressing the hope that he too might at some time be “reborn,” able to free his spiritual nature from the enveloping shell as a chick frees itself from the egg.

The Egyptian god, Ptah, like Parabrahman, ges-tates in the ‘Egg of the Universe.’ This is the Egg that gives life to the gods, the planets and constellations. which in turn is given life by the solar energy of Shu. The Egg is sacred to Isis and to Christians of the Greek and Latin Churches as a symbol of eternal life. Osiris was also born from an Egg and Apollo and Artemis were born from Leda’s egg which was fertilized by Zeus, in the form of a swan. The Scandinavian poem of Voluspa sings of the mundane egg as a phantom germ of the Universe, which is represented as ly-ing in the cup of illusion and the boundless void. Seb is one of the older Egyptian gods, the son of Shu and Tefnut, brother and husband of Nut, fa-ther of Osiris and Isis, Set and Nephthys. In The Book of the Dead, Seb is spoken of as the father of the gods, and as the goose that laid the egg out of which the earth and man were formed—remi-niscent of Kalahansa.

The egg stands for pri-mordial chaos, the universal matrix, the great Deep, the Virgin Mother, and also for the Cosmos or world egg produced from it. As chaos or space, it is the virgin egg fertil-ized by the spiritual ray from which issues the Third Logos. The simile of an egg also expresses the primordial form of everything.

The Cosmic Egg is a living library of knowledge from which anything can be created. It contains the formulas, and blueprints , stored in the life forms on earth for all sorts of realities to be created.

Cosmic Egg


Leda the Swan is the mother of the Gemini twins Castor and Pollux by Zeus. In one al-

legory, Leda takes the form of a swan and, after being impregnated by Zeus in the form of a swan, lays two eggs, which connects her with Kalahansa and similar mythological birds. One allusion of the allegory is to the egg-born third root-race of mankind, Lemuria.

As the story goes, Zeus took the form of a swan and raped or seduced Leda on the same night she slept with her husband, King Tyndareus. In some versions, she laid two eggs from which the chil-dren hatched. In other versions, Helen is a daugh-ter of Nemesis, the goddess who personifi ed the disaster that awaited those suffering from the pride of Hubris.

Hyginus’ Poetic Astronomy presents Zeus pre-

tending to be a Swan pursued by an eagle who took refuge in Nemesis’ bosom, where he rav-ished her. In due course she laid an egg, which Hermes threw between Leda’s thighs, as she sat on a stool with her legs apart.

Latona, another name for Leda, quarreled with Niobe, who taunted her with having only one son and one daughter, whereas she herself had seven sons and seven daughters. As a result, the 14 chil-dren were slain by Apollo and Artemis. Latona, geographically, represents the polar region for-merly the Hyperborean continent. Niobe is the Atlantean race, with its seven sub-races and their seven branches; as this race degenerated it is de-stroyed by the god and goddess of light, Apollo and Artemis; while an allusion to the Atlantean fl ood is seen in the copious tears of Niobe (SD 2:770).

Cosmic Egg


Vishnu and Garuda, the bird of Vishnu, were born from an egg for Garuda symbolizes the

Great Cycle of Time. In Hindu mythology Garu-da is a gigantic half-man and half-bird, born from an egg brought forth by Vinata, wife of Kasyapa. Garuda is a manifestation of Vishnu himself who is often described as riding on Garuda as repre-senting space and time.

Seb and his wife Nut produced the great Egg of Space, out of which emerged the sun god in the shape of a phoenix (Bennu). For the Egyptians Seb symbolized the Creator, the vitalizing divinity of cosmic space, often called earth: the earth was described as being formed of Seb’s cosmic body, and was called the house of Seb which held a prominent place in the scenes of the Underworld depicted in The Book of the Dead. Another of his titles was Erpat (chief of the gods), he is even more like the Hindu Parabrahman than Brahma. A fa-vorite representation of Seb is that of a prostrated man, one hand pointing to heaven, the other to earth —the prostrated form representing the earth -- over whom bends the goddess, Nut, her body being spangled with stars representing the sky.

Cosmic Egg

Osiris is also born from an egg sacred to Isis, and therefore the priests never ate

eggs. Ptah, the Egyptian god of creation, is represented as bringing forth beings from a lump of clay on a potter’s wheel. This lump of clay represents the world egg, out of which all the beings creep. And the winged globe, also prominent in Egyptian symbol-ogy, is another symbol of the world egg.


The Pelasgian Creation Myth recounted in Robert Graves, The Greek Myths, is the feminine ver-

sion of the first chapters of Genesis and goes like this: In the beginning Eurynome, the goddess of ‘All Things,’ rose naked from Chaos and danced wildly but she found nothing substantial for her feet to stand upon and therefore divided the sea from the sky, dancing lonely on its waves. She danced towards the south, and the wind set in motion behind her seemed something new and apart with which to begin a work of creation.

Wheeling about, she held the north wind, the pres-ence of God, rubbed it between her hands, and be-hold! The great serpent Ophion. Eurynome danced wildly until Ophion coiled around her divine limbs. Next she assumed the form of a dove, the Holy Spir-it, and laid the Universal Egg. At her bidding, Oph-ion coiled seven times around the egg, until it split

Cosmic Egg

in two out of which emerged; the sun, moon, planets, stars, the earth, the trees, the mountains, herbs and all living creatures. Eurynome and Ophion live on Mount Olympus where Ophion angered her for trying to take credit for the creation of the universe. Forthwith, Eu-rynome bruised his head with her heel, kicked out his teeth, and banished him to the dark caves below the earth.

This Greek creation myth foreshadows Genesis 34:17 “And the Lord God, the Elohim, said unto the serpent, ‘And I will put enmity between thee and the woman’, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.’ It is significant that the Serpent coiled around her seven times as this would refer to the seven days of creation in Genesis which obviously would be seven vastly long periods of time similar to the seven periods, of a Manvan-tara, and extending throughout a Mahakalpa or the ‘Great Age’ -- 100 years of Brahma -- making a total of 311,040,000,000,000 of years” (SD 1:36)


Christianity has its links to Orphism and the Greek Orphites adopted their rites from

serpent worship and. Sun worshipers crossed over into Egypt, Sumeria and Babylon from In-dia where we find the priests generally styled themselves as sons of the Dragon and Serpent. Modern theologians are reticent to seriously contemplate that we might have actually origi-nated from the Serpent in the Garden of Eden yet mythology tells us that the tradition of the Dragon and the Sun is echoed in every part of the world, and was established through the once universal worship of the Sun. If we study the stories of various Rishis and their multifarious progeny, Pulastya is found to be the father of all the egg-bearing Nagas who are human serpents. Kasyapa was the grandsire, through his wife Tamra, of the birds of Garuda. The first Nagas are born before the complete separation of the sexes, “matured in the man-bearing eggs” pro-duced by the power of the holy sages of the early Lemurians. The Nagas, in spite of their serpent’s tail,do not creep but manage to walk, run and fight in the allegories. Some of the descendents of the primitive Nagas, the Serpents of Wisdom, peopled America when it arose during Atlantis. The medicine men of Mexico are called Nagals, and Quetzalcoatl was the name of the winged serpent. The Lemurians produced their offspring from eggs— as animals and reptiles still do. This race’s method of reproduction was the outcome

The Egg

of the so-called “sweat-born” of the earlier Le-murians. According to H.P.Blavatsky the human race passed through different modes of reproduc-tion which again depended upon the physiologi-cal characteristics of the various phases through which humanity progressed from ethereal through astral into physical types. At first humanity was sexless and then, through various phases of seed-ing, budding, and egg-bearing, became androgy-nous, its offspring as time passed appearing with one or the other sex predominating, and finally, during the latter third root-race distinct males and females appeared from birth as at present. In the 1st Chapter of Genesis, animals, whales and fowls of the air are created before the Androgyne Adam, some Cabalists see them as the sacred ani-mals of the zodiac and other heavenly bodies. In the second chapter, Adam the sexless comes first, and the animals only appear after him. The deep sleep of Adam symbolizes the unconsciousness of the first two Races. The Secret Doctrine dates the second and third races of the Hyperboreans and Lemurians before the Triassic/Jurassic period over sixty-five million years ago. It was the age of the reptiles of the gigantic Megalosauri, Ich-thyosauri, Plesiosauri, etc. and of gigantic men. Science denies the presence of man in that period. If this is so why is it that men can describe these monsters.


In Christianity, the Holy Ghost is symbolized by a dove which appears to Jesus at his baptism. The dove plays a prominent part

in many cosmologies. In the Biblical deluge, Noah sends out first a raven, symbolizing darkness which was regarded as prior to light; and then a dove. In the Chaldean version, Noah is represented by Ishtar, a lunar goddess corresponding to Artemis and of Venus also symbolized by a dove. In several cosmologies the dove also sym-bolizes the soul.

In the Hundu tradition, The Holy Ghost was the Holy Breath which, moved on the face of the waters at creation, and imparted life and vitality into everything created. A similar concept is rec-ognized in the Christian Scriptures. In Psalms xxxiii. 6, we read, "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth." Here is the Brahminical con-cept of the act of creation by the Divine Breath, which is the Holy Ghost, which was also breathed into Adam, by which he became "a living soul." Prana, is the breath of life, by which the Creator (Brahma) animates the clay, and man became a living soul. host of them by the breath of his mouth.” Here is the Brahminical con-ception, square out, of the act of creation by the Divine Breath, which is the Holy Ghost, the same, also, which was breathed into Adam, by which he became “a living soul.” Prana, is the breath of life by which the Creator (Brahma) animates the clay, and man became a living soul.” This why Nisargadatta Maharaj urges his students to ‘Worship the Breath’

Holy Ghost


After the sound of the first Om, the vast primordial ocean brought forth “a golden lotus, resplendent as the sun, floating in space.” From Om came forth the Hindu

trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, who are represented seated on golden lotuses The creation of Vishnu followed: he slept on a lotus, and a lotus stem issued from his navel. In The Secret Doctrine Blavatsky says that the growth of the lotus from Vish-nu’s navel, as he rests in the waters of space on the serpent of infinity, illustrates the universe’s evolution from the great central sun, “the ever-concealed germ” (1:379). The waters are the womb of space and the stalk is the umbilical cord.

Eastern Christians continue to celebrate All Saints’ Day in the spring, as the Roman Chris-

tians had originally. Since the Celts, like many cultures, started every day at sunset of the night before, Samhain became the “evening” of “All Hal-lows” In the 7th century, Pope Boniface instituted All Hallows Day “hallowed” = “holy” = “saint” which was eventually contracted into “Hallow-e’en” on May 13 to replace a pagan festival of the dead. In 834 the day was moved to November 1st by Gregory III and was then celebrated for all the saints. The Greek Church celebrates it on the first Sunday after Pentecost. Closely connected with the celebration was the keeping of the preceding evening, known as the vigil of Hallowmas or Hal-loween. The Celts kept two festivals, one called Beltane in which fires were lit on the eve of May 1st, and the other called Samtheine on the eve of November 1st, in which people jumped over two closely placed fires. The Christian Church was unable to stop their devotees celebrating this hol-iday, so they simply sprinkled a little holy wa-ter on it and gave it new names, as they did with other pagan holidays and customs.

The Druids knew that these three days had a spe-cial significance. The veil between this world and the World of the Ancestors was parted on these nights, and for those who were prepared, journeys could be made in safety to the ’other side. The

All-Hallows Day

Druid rites, therefore, were concerned with mak-ing contact with the spirits of the departed, who were seen as sources of guidance and inspiration. The dark moon, the time when no moon can be seen in the sky, was the phase of the moon which ruled this time, because it represents a time when the invisible forces becomes visible.

Christianity transformed this festival into Hallowe’en (31 October), All Hallows [All Saints Day] (1 November), and All Souls Day (2 No-vember).

Halloween appears to have forgotten the meaning of All Saints’s Day and has become a celebration of early folklore based upon the Grail and Drag-on traditions. The very concept of ’fairies’ (’fair folk’) derives from fée or ’fey’ and especially to ’fate’. In the Celtic world, certain royal families were said to carry the ’fairy blood’ — that is to say, the fate or destiny of the Grail Bloodline—while the Grail Princesses of romance and history were often called ’elf-maidens’ guardians of the earth, starlight and forest. The other star of Hal-loween is Count Dracula whose bodily condition-ing through melatonin and other hormonal secre-tions made him the Prince of Darkness; which give heightened awareness, above-normal powers and longevity from the Star Fire - the lunar blood of the Anunnaki Queens and the priestly Scarlet Women.

All Saints' Day, All-Hallows, Hallowmas was originally on the first of May in the zodiacal sign of Taurus. “The Druids un-derstood the meaning of the Sun in Tau-rus, as Taurus is the first fixed sign of the zodiac and not Aries, therefore, while all the fires were extinguished on the 1st of November, Scorpio, the second fixed sign of the zodiac, their sacred and inextin-guishable fires alone remained to illumi-nate the horizon.


Sir Laurence Gardner’s book. Bloodline of the Holy Grail, details the brutal Catholic In-

quisition’s treatment of heretics who supported the Messianic Blood Royal (the Sangréal) of the Dragon Kings against the corrupted dogma of the bishops. Many of the victims were classifi ed as occultists and witches, and they were charged with upholding the ancient and heretical cult of Draco, the Prince of Darkness. The Church re-viled them as vampires!

Gardner gives the signifi cance of the ancient Egyptian Court of the Dragon, pointing out that after some 4,000 years this Sovereign Order is still operative today. Back in the 15th century Prince Vlad III of Transylvania-Wallachia built the citadel of Bucharest. Vlad is perhaps better remembered, however, as Count Dracula, mean-ing ’son of Dracul’ - a name by which his father

Merlin, the Alchemist

was known within the Court from 1431. Vlad-Dracula was portrayed as a vampire — a Prince of Darkness who imbibed the blood of virgins! Vlad’s method of execution for crimes against the state was impalement upon wooden stakes. This was quite compatible with other hideous punishments of the time (boiling in oil, burn-ing at the stake, drawing and quartering, etc.). But Vlad’s impalement methods came back to haunt him in Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic-novel which calls for Dracula to be killed with a wooden stake. The Church’s real fear of Dracula, however, was not his brutality which was the norm then, but his in-depth knowledge of alchemy and the ancient Star Fire customs. Having attended the Austrian School of Solo-mon in Hermannstadt, he had an in-depth sci-entifi c understanding of the bodily effects of melatonin and serotonin which enhance lon-gevity and increase consciousness.

All-Hallows Day


The Sacred Four are the four great prima-ry forces which emanate from the creator

known as the Four Powerful Ones. They are the key to the universal movement of the four fixed cardinal points which change every 6,500 years symbolized by the cross and the circle in the

form of a swastika. The wheels symbolize the dome of the Celestial Sphere which rises first in one constellation of the zodiac and then an-other throughout the Great Year. When the gears of heaven change

the old age comes crashing down and a new zo-diacal age is born.

The Sacred Four are the key images and symbols that crop up in most myths—notably those that concern a ‘derangement of the heavens’ which are encoded in the ancient traditions of world-wide cataclysms. Graham Hancock’s book, “Fingerprints of the Gods’ explains: The four key points of the year are the spring and summer equinoxes and the winter and summer solstices. At each point the sun is seen to rise in a different constellation. Thus if the sun rises in Pisces at the spring equinox, as it does at present, it must rise in Virgo at the autumn equinox, in Gemini at the winter solstice and in Sagittarius at the summer solstice.

On each of these four occasions during the last 26,000 years the fixed constellations

have aligned with the galactic center. At the end of each zodiacal age in the precession of the equinoxes the vernal point changes as it will in the near future from Pisces to Aquarius. When that happens, the three other constellations mak-ing the three key points will also change from Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius—to Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio. The big question is why Ezekiel’s vision saw the constellations of the Aquarian Age and not the four constellations of the Piscean Age which in his time would have been the next in the precession of the equinoxes,

“From the b e g i n n i n g various sym-bols for the Sacred Four began to creep in. Also a plurality of names was given them at different times by vari-

ous people. I have a collection of over fifty names given to them. Among them are: the Four Great Ones, the Four Powerful Ones, the Four Great Kings, the Four Great Maharajas, the Four Great Builders, the Four Great Architects, the Four Great Geometricians, the Four Great Pillars; and today we call them the Four Archangels.” —Col. James Churchward in Sacred Symbols of Mu.

Josef F. Blumrich’s book entitled “The Space-ships of Ezekiel” convinced many people that the four living creatures in “Ezekiel’s Wheel” were the four rotary blades of a space ship yet further research refutes that theory. The number four was greatly revered by the Atlanteans. To them, it represented the four great cosmic forces with,

The Sacred Four are the Mystery of the Sphinx

Tetramorph


which the Creator gave birth to his entire creation. Four sacred animals appear in Ezekiel and Caba-la as the Cherubim, and in the Bible, as the four Archangels, and are the secret of the Sphinx.

“I looked, and behold, a whirlwind, a cloud and fire unfolding it.—also out of the mist thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And every one had four face and four wings”. In the series of beings claimed by Christian symbolism to form the mysterious crown of Christ, a group of four animals is notable for the important place they hold in the sacred art and the mystical litera-ture of all religions. These celestial animals are not unique to the Bible for they are the Adonai of all nations. They are the Lion, the Bull, the Eagle and Aquarius, the man, originally Cherubim (He-brew: fullness of knowledge).

In the Tarot they appear in the cards X and XXII. These four animals are, in reality, the symbols of the four cardinal points of the zodiacal circle during the winter solstice. Both the mythical

Sphinx and the Cherubim are “hybrid” beings combining two to four creatures: The Eagle (Scorpio), the Lion (Leo), the Bull (Taurus) and the Man (Aquarius). These creatures represent the four fixed signs of the zodiac. When they are aligned with the Galactic Equator, every 6,500 years in the 26,000 year cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes around Alcyone, major and minor cataclysmic events occur.

MATTHEW - Taurus the BullMARK - Leo-the Lion

LUKE - The Eagle (Scorpio)JOHN - Aquarius

The name John, originates as Jahan (Oannes, the Fish God), connotes the month of Janu-

ary which falls during the astrological period of Aquarius. Jahan or Jahn give us other names, such as Jane, Joan, and Janus. It gives us the word January. January is the month that corresponds with the sign of Aquarius. Aquarius is a southern sign symbolized by a man carrying a pitcher from which water flows. This is why we have the bibli-cal character John the Baptist, the initiator of Je-

sus. The sign of Aquarius became associated with baptism, cleansing, and purification by water. This idea was adopted by Jews and Christians.

The lion was assigned to Mark. It is the Atonist symbol of the city of Venice and the Vatican. The lion symbolizes the Tribe of Judea, and can be seen on numerous buildings and flags of many royal houses. in Biblical astrologically, however, the lion belongs to Luke.

The Sacred Four


In Christian art we see one of the four Evange-lists symbolized by a Bull. This relates to Mat-thew/Aries, because both Aries and Taurus are constellations or houses on the Eastern hori-zon. They are the eastern signs always seen in the sky together. And in ages past the symbols connected to both these pervasive signs were im-portant. Christ is often depicted carrying a lamb and in nativity scenes a small lamb is often seen. In the Christian iconography we have one of the Evangelists represented by a Lion. In the Nativ-ity scenes we see four animals around the cradle of Jesus. One of these is also a lion. Christians probably wonder why a lion would be near Jesus’ manger. Furthermore, Jesus is often termed the “Lion of Judea.” The Fixed Signs are also the four archangels Taurus—Uriel —Leo—Michael —Aquarius—Raphael——Scorpio—Gabriel

In the second midrash it is said: “When Solomon wished to sit on his throne, the Bull took him gen-tly on its horns and handed him over to the lion, which in turn delivered him to to the Eagle, and so on until the seat was reached. This indicates that Taurus is the first sign of the zodaic. “Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord” (I Chron. xxix. 23), the second midrash remarks that Sol-omon’s throne, like that of God, was furnished with the four figures representing a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, with cherubim and wheels

(comp. Ezek. i. 5 et seq.) The Hindu Caba l i s t i c derivation of the books of Ezekiel and Revelation are shown in nothing more plainly

than in this description of the four beasts, which typify the four elementary kingdoms -- earth, air, fire, and water. As is well known, they are the As-

syrian sphinxes, but these figures are also carved on the walls of nearly every Hindu pagoda. The Cherubim were the fiery serpent/dragons placed at the gate at the Garden of Eden after the so called fall. This originated from the Biblical book of the Jewish prophet Ezekiel, who while in ex-ile in Babylonia circa 580 BCE describes his vi-sion in which the likeness of four living creatures came out of the midst of the fire thus: These four animal figures are also depicted in the St. John's Apocalypse, the last book of the New Testament, where they surround the throne of Christ, the set-ting most usually seen in Christian art. John al-ludes to Ezekiel’s vision thus: And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. Revelation 4:7. At the center of most Christian Tetramorphs is the Pantokrator (from Greek pan-all, krater - ruler) Jesus the Christ, following the Book of Rev-elation.

Interestingly, in Egyptian mythology the four ar-chetypes appear as the four sons of Horus, whose names are:

Imsety - (human-headed)Tuamutf - (or Duanmutef, jackal-headed)

Kabhsenuf - (baboon-headed)Hapi - (falcon or hawk-headed)

During the mummification process, the body’s organs were removed and placed in four jars adorned with the heads of these four sons who were the “protectors” of various organs.

The Sacred Four


When will we learn that we are a living breathing zodiac and to realize our own

consciousness is the “little sun” within? We are the heroes undergoing the trials of Osiris, Horus, or Hercules or any sun god. When will we real-ize that consciousness, like the zodiac, has four cardinal hemispheres?

Mayans believed the universe was divided into thirteen layers, each with its own god. Ahau-Kin possessed two forms— one for the day and one at night. During the day he was a man with some jaguar features, but between sunset and sunrise he became the Jaguar god, a lord of the underworld who traveled from west to east through the lower regions. The Earth was conceived by the Maya as flat with four corners.

Mayans believed the Universe was divided into layers, each layer containing only one sort of ce-lestial body. Heaven was formed with thirteen layers, and each of them seemed to have had its own god. The underworld was formed with nine layers with nine corresponding lords of the night.

T h e Maya believed the Earth was flat with four cor-ners. Each corner represented a cardinal direc-tion. Each direction had a color: east-red; north-white; west-black; south-yellow. At each corner, there was a jaguar of a different color that sup-ported the sky.

The Mayan Sacred Four

Mayans believed that the Sun and the Moon passed through the Earth when they disappeared below the horizon. On his night journey beneath the earth, the Sun was believed to have become the fearsome Jaguar god of the underworld, Ki-nich Ahau.


‘Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.’

I don’t know where this maxim originated but Sumerian cuneiform texts may give a clue. They

tell us that we were created by the first ‘Fisher King’, Enki and his wife, Ninmah/Mammu, our Mother, in the Abzu, an under water laboratory in the depths of the ocean. The Abzu is essentially the ‘Garden of Eden.’ Paradoxically this same Enki is the ‘Lord of Darkness,’ the devil of the Christian religion. Who do we believe the Church or Sum-erian texts? Robert Temple’s book, The Sirius Mystery documents many historical references to the pre-Flood founders of civilization as fish-

men who arrived from the stars. They were said to have descended into and arisen out of the sea which no doubt gave rise to the idea of mermaids or aquatic beings. All this bespeaks of the constel-lation of Capricorn as intricately associated with

Fisher Kingsthe Mayans, Hindus and Akkadians who spawned the Babylonians and Sumerians who came from Orion, Sirius, and Lemuria. The Dogon tribe of North Africa call these fish-men “the Monitors.” And that, according to The Mayan Factor, is what the Maya did best—.monitor, and calibrate galac-tic time cycles for the planet.

Letters, as much as numbers, were all mystical, the most sacred of all is the letter M symbolizing the great deep. In Aryan esotericism, as in the Se-mitic, this letter has always stood for the Sanskrit word MAKARA—the tenth sign of the Zodiac.

The Hindu zodiac portrays Makara as a crocodile or an aquatic monster. The tenth sign of the Zo-diac in the west is portrayed with the head and the fore-legs of an antelope and the body and tail of a fish which is the form of the constellation of Capricorn ruled by Saturn, the planet which pre-sides over Christmas and the New Year as Father Time. Is this another reason why Jesus is said to be born on December 25, and called Son of Da-gon, another name of Enki and Oannes. Medieval Hermetists connected the goat with Christ and Christianized Capricorn.


The Sumerian god Enki is often depicted as a goat with a dolphins tail. Enki’s brother Enlil,

like Zeus, is remembered as the god who brought on the deluge. Enki is recognized as the god who saved mankind by warning the Sumerian Noah, Xisuthrus, of the impending disaster. Enki’s unauthorized creation of Homo sapiens estranged him from Enlil. The antagonism between the two erupted again after the flood and the Middle East was awash with the blood of their conflict.

The constellation of Capricorn presides over the area as far north as Panuco in Mexico and as far south as Panama Capricorn is associated with Pan,the bearded Greek nature god who was half goat and half man and as we have seen is the source of Valentines day. Midway between Panuco and Panama is Mayapan, the capital of Yucatan, founded by the bearded Kukulcan, the Mayan Quetzalcoatl. There are various descrip-tions of the Mexican god Quetzalcoatl. One is the plumed serpent and another that he had a beard, and in other accounts he is a pale -skinned white man. The same confusion is found in Sumerian images of Enki. He is portrayed as an Ibex, a man with water flowing from his shoulders, and a goat with a dolphin’s tail as in the common form of Capricorn. A parallel appears to exist between the man, the myth, and the heavens, the connect-ing link of which appears to be the goat’s beard of Capricorn.

The constellation of Capricorn was called Capra, “the Bearded One,” by many ancient peoples, and Nuccu, “the Beard,” in Peru.’ From the very earliest known times, the sun was considered to be reborn each year when it entered the sign of Capricorn immediately after the winter solstice. This celestial event has been celebrated in an-nual festivals throughout history by indigenous peoples all over the world. In Peru it was known as, “the Festival of the Beard;” and men wore bearded masks symbolizing masculinity and the seasonally renewed reproductive powers of the

sun all consistent with his function as God, king, priest, regenerator of Cosmos. As the birthplace of the Sun, Capricorn was the “sea goat” hybrid

whose fishtail enabled it to live in a cave beneath the ocean prior to the winter sol-stice. The goat part enabled it to climb—like a goat up a moun-tain — high into the sky after the solstice.

The Greeks and earlier civilizations believed that the ancestors of the Hellenic races were amphibi-ous, for at that time primitive man had gills and was partly covered in scales. For them Oceanus was the father of the Gods; in the Mexican Popol-Vuh, man is created out of mud or clay taken from under the water. Alchemists claim that the primor-dial earth, when reduced to its first substance, is in its second stage of transformation like clear water, the first being with a high ph. The human embryo has this primordial substance as it is said to contain the essence of all that goes to make up man; it has not only all the elements of his physical being, but even the “breath of life” in a latent state, ready to be awakened. The earliest Christian images of Je-sus before the crucifixion were the Lamb, symbol-izing the Good Shepherd in the Age of Aries, and the Fish representing the Fisher of Men in the Age of Pisces. Jesus was known as Joshua son of Nun and Nun of course is the name of Jesus’ female devotees, the fishes who at the time of baptism, return again into the sea of Christ.

Louis Jacolliot, the Sanskrit scholar and philolo-ger, noted that the Puranas were written long be-fore Sumerian and Babylonian texts. When he ana-lyzed the word Oan, or Oannes, he found that 0 in Sanskrit is an invocation, as 0, Swayambhuva! 0,

God! etc.; and An signifies in Sanskrit a spirit or a being. “What an extraordinary antiquity,” Jacol-liot remarks, “this fable of Vishnu, disguised as a fish, gives to the sacred books of the Hindus; especially as the Vedas are estimated to be more than twenty-five thousand years old.” But there is more to the story. The Babylonian god Oannes is the Hindu Vishnu and the Sumerian Enki.

In the Hari-purana, the Baghaved-Gita, and sev-eral other sacred texts, the god Vishnu is shown as having assumed the form of a fish with a human head, in order to reclaim the Vedas lost during the deluge. Hav ing enabled Visvamitra to escape with all his tribe in the ark, Vishnu, pitying a weak and ignorant humanity, remained with them for some time. Vishnu taught them to build houses, cultivate the land, and to thank the Supreme God Parabrah-man, whom he represented, by building temples and instituting worship; and, as he was half-fish, half-man, at every sunset he used to return to the ocean, where he passed the night. “It is He,” says the sacred book, “who taught men, after the ‘Del-uge’ all that was necessary for their well-being. ‘‘One day he plunged into the water and returned no more, for the earth had covered itself again from the deluge with vegetation, fruit, and cattle. “But he had taught the Brahmas the secret of all things” (Hari -purana). This account is the original of the story given by the Babylonian priest, Bero-sus, about Oannes, the fish-man, who is no other

than Vishnu — unless we believe that it was Chaldea and Sumeria who civilized India!

Legends from Mex-ico to Sumeria, an-cient Egypt to India, recount the arrival of amphibious gods ap-pearing after the At-

lantean deluge. India’s Vishnu, Enki and Oannes of Sumeria and Babylonia, Quetzalcoatl and

Viracocha, the ‘Plumed Serpent’ in the Americas, are remembered in ancient worldwide legends as a group of being collectively referred to as the Fisher Kings. American Indian shamans tell of holy men from the sea dressed in bird feathers who instructed them in arts and crafts.The fish has often been associated with the World Saviors. Vishnu, the Hindu Savior, who reincarnates in ten physical forms for the liberation of the universe, was expelled from the mouth of a fish in his first incarnation. Isis, while nursing the infant Horus, is often shown with a fish on her headdress. Oannes, the Chaldean Savior (borrowed from the Brahmins), is depicted with the head and body of a fish, from which his human form protrudes at various points.

Manley P. Hall of the Philosophical Research Center, noted that a scientist had arranged a table showing the relationship of the human brain to various animals during the prenatal period. He followed exactly the list of incarnations of Vish-nu, while totally unaware that he was linking to-gether Oriental Mysteries and Occidental embry-ology. In his gem of a book, The Occult Anatomy of Man, he relates how the cosmogony myths of nearly every nation are based upon embryology. The formation of the cosmos is said to have taken place in the same way that man is formed, only on a larger scale. For example, in the Vishnu Puranas we are told that creation took place within the womb of Space (Meru) which was surrounded by great mountains and cliffs (the Chorion). There is a wonderful parallel between the life of the new seed and the creation of the universe for the uni-verse was created out of water and floated in a great sea (the amniotic fluid) down a ladder (the umbilical cord) came the gods. Four rivers flowed into the new land, as told in Genesis. These are the blood vessels of the umbilical cord .

In all cosmology the gods divide their planetary kingdom into sky, earth, sea, and inner earth. The Greek Poseidon, brother of Zeus, the Roman Neptune, the king of Atlantis in Plato‘s Critias

Fisher Kings


and Timaeus, rules the sea and builds an under-water palace where he married Amphitrite, called alternatively Thetis, or Nereis who bore him three children. He too is omnipresent in the deluge cre-ated by Zeus to rid the world of evil. In the story of Deucalion’s flood, Deucalion, a Greek Noah, is told to build an ark by his father Prometheus. Po-seidon is the Sumerian Enki, the Chaldean Ea, the

Babylonian Oannes, the Celtic Merlin, the Pal-estinian Dag, the Greek Dagon, the Irish Dagda and the Cretan Baal, who all carry a trident like Poseidon and the Hindu Vishnu. All of these gods warned their respective Noahs of the impending ‘Flood’ and told them to build arks to save the genetic codes of humanity.

The cylinder seal in the British Museum circa 2200 BC below shows Enki in his underwater palace or

Abzu. The Abzu housed his laboratory to create mankind. The half sister of the two gods Ninhur-sag, the creator goddess Ninmah/Mam-mu, from whence came our word Mama. Enki and Nin-hursag directed biological experiments in their underwater laboratory, the Abzu. The Sumerian Atra-Hasis epic records its division of earth: AB-ZU, or APSU in Akkadian, is derived from the combination of AB or AP meaning the “Father, the Creator, or the great One” and ZU or SU mean-ing one who knows, the wise one,” thus suggesting that it was the source of all wisdom and knowl-edge. Originally Abzu was the term for our Sun. In the Sumerian creation myth which deals with the formation of the universe, the Abzu is called the primeval one and the begetter of our planets in our solar system. Later when the Anunnaki gods arrived here and begin to set mining operations, the Abzu is clearly the abode of Enki located near the city of Eridu. Christians call Enki the Devil or more appropriately a Sea Devil.

The Book of Job’s Le-viathan is also a Fish-er King, and like the Serpent or Dragon, another benefactor of man; the Leviathan has been turned into a sea monster just as Genesis turns the serpent into the devil. The “whale” of Jonah

is based upon Dagon part creature, hippocampus, part sea-horse and part dolphin Christian statues and carvings show a composite form and not a true whale. H.P Blavatsky thinks that Cetus, the great whale, is derived from keto, a name for the fish god, Dagon, and that Jonah was actually held in the body of a gigantic statue of Dagon after he had been captured by Phoenician sailors and carried to one of their cities. There is no doubt a great mystery in the gigantic form of Cetus, which is still preserved as a constellation. All symbols having serpentine form or motion signify the solar energy in one of

its many forms. In Arabic, nūn means large fish or whale. This great creature of the sea therefore, represents the solar life force imprisoned in water and also the divine energy of man, where, until transmuted, it manifests itself as writhing monster —man’s greed, passion, and lust.

Nun originates from a pictogram of a serpent (the Hebrew word for serpent, nachash begins with a Nun and snake in Aramaic is nun). Some have hypothesized a hieroglyph of a fish in water for its origin The Phoenician letter was named nūn “Fish”, but the glyph has been suggested to de-scend from a hypothetical Proto-Canaanite naḥš “Snake”, based on the name in Ethiopic, ultimate-ly from a hieroglyph representing a snake,

Jesus was often symbolized by a fish and was called son of Dagon. He told His disciples that they should become ‘Fishers of Men.’ The sign of the fish was also the first monogram of the Chris tians. The mysterious Greek acrostic ‘Ichtys’ is the name for Fish and the name of Jesus. As Christians were intent upon identifying Jesus as their Christos, the Messiah of the Old Testament, they forgot that its true origin might be traced still farther back to the incarnation of Fish avatar of Vishnu from which the symbol of the fish origi-nated. The Greek word IXOYC, Fish, became the acrostic for Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior. The first Christians called themselves sons of the ce-

Fisher Kingslestial “Ichtys” the great Fish, which they must fol-low and imitate in everything. Constantine placed the Greek letters X and the P over the acrostic and it was sometimes shown supported by the divine ‘Fish.’ When St.Peter established his first Epis-copal See in Antioch, the heart of Dagon/Oannes country, he made a connection between Christ and the God-Fish. In ancient Rome the fishes shape or its name were written everywhere, their mean-ing a mystery which only Christians could under-stand. The first Christians called themselves’ sons of the celestial “Ichtus” the great Fish which they must follow and imitate in everything. We small fish, wrote an early Church father, Tertullian, in the second century, “like our Fish, Jesus Christ, swims in the baptismal water, and we can only be saved by remaining in it.”

In Ad 325, the Roman Catholic Church was creat-ed by a pagan emperor named Constantine. It was only superficially a Christian Church. The First Nicean Council was assembled to finesse the de-tails. While it was supposed to have been made up of Christian elders from five major Christian cen-ters (Rome, Athens, Alexandria, Jerusalem and Antioch), it also included elders of all the major Pagan religions of Rome. Bishops from the cults of Mithras, Tammuz, Oannes (Dagon), Ceres, Janus, Bacchus, Apollo, Osiris, Jupiter, and Con-stantine’s own religion: Sol Invictus, were invited. Constantine’s wanted all of the Pagan religions, then creating unnecessary conflicts, to be unified into one “Catholic” church. “Catholic” means universal. Constantine ruled the Nicean Council with an firm hand, and insisted upon, Pistis— a belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God. Gnosticism was suppressed because it encour-aged its members to question Church authority. Pistis was thus politically expedient, because it forbade questioning.

The power of the Vicars of Christ was built on the doctrine of being the successors of St. Peter as

The Little Angels escaping from the Vatican

Fisher Kingsthe first Bishop of Rome. History, however, does not show Peter to have been in Rome, or to have ever been a bishop, anywhere. The first bishop of Rome was listed as Linus. “Peter of Rome” took the place of the Pet-Roma, the “Book of Stone” which played a major part in initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries.

The statue of Jupiter (Jo-Peter) in Rome came to be worshiped as the image of Peter, with the claim that it always had been the image of Peter. An ef-fective unification of all of Rome’s religions had to not only include the major gods of those reli-gions, but to make them subordinate to Jesus. The names of the disciples, then, corresponded to the names of those gods. Matthew was Mithras, Thomas - Tammuz, Mark - Mars, John - Oannes, Peter - Jupiter, Paul - Apollo. Even the Virgin Mary was a variation on older myths. The name “Jesus Christ” was actually a contraction on “Hesus” and “Christos”. The use of crosses, as symbols, was almost non-existent before. This was generally re-

garded as a violation of the second command-ment, and the reminder of Christ’s suffering was usually deemed inappropriate.

Thoth-Hermes said that the divine spirit of the Lo-gos wheels in vast circles in the heavens knowing that all that has being is expanding to encounter other beings. This immortal spirit descends into human form and pervades the whole body and becomes Christ consciousness. Every one can be-come a Buddha or a Christ. And so throughout eons of time every Great Platonic Year or a 2,160 year Zodiacal Age sends the divine spirit in hu-man form. Our journey through the festivals of the year has taken us through the mists of ‘Time’ and are now entering the Age of Aquarius. It is time for the pure clean waters from Aquarius’ urn to clean the ocean of life from the impurities of the Piscean Age so that the little fishes are free to swim outside the Vatican which is drowned with its own dogmas. The Catholic Church has denied its origins for 2000 years. True reformation would be to acknowledge them.


Sri Aurobindo, an Avatar of The Supreme, came here to transcend the Overmind consciousness

that has been the highest spiritual influence until now and cause the descent of the Supramental Consciousness. Sri Aurobindo observes that the Over- mind has produced Rama, Cristna, Bud-dha, Jesus and all the highest creative forces, and we have lived under their auspices — sometimes through the voices of our prophets and religions, sometimes through the voices of our poets, mu-sicians and artists. Yet none of them have trans-formed the world.

After the death of the Master and his direct dis-ciples, the ‘Truth’ of their teachings become dis-torted. For centuries we have been on the quest for the grail but we have found only half of the Secret. The other half, according to Sri Aurob-indo, is to be found in the depths of Death and Unconsciousness, and in the very heart of ‘Evil’. The key to divine life is to transform the darkness within ourselves. It is essential that we make our peace with the gods and goddesses and disconnect from them and our religions so that our minds are free to experience “Truth Consciousness.”

Satprem has produced many books on Sri Aurob-indo and the Mother’s teachings, and the future evolution of Man. They all came to the conclu-sion that physical consciousness itself has so far never been entirely transformed. The overall consciousness of the body has been transformed by being liberated from thoughts and habits that are no longer valid. But they believe that what remains to be changed is the consciousness of human cells. Satprem concentrated and worked on bringing this change in the consciousness of the cells in the physical body. That is the Way for consciousness to create a new Life. A new Earth. And a new Evolution 2. That work is Satprem’s unique contribution to the mankind.

Only the ‘supramental’ consciousness-force, as

Supramental Consciousness

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother called it, is able to awaken the biological matter of our body cells, the same supramental power which as a ‘seed’ has been lying dormant since the beginning of our evolution. Her momentous discovery con-cerned the capacity that her own body cells had over the years acquired to receive the new energy correctly. Moreover, she found that this capacity was ‘contagious’! That is, it could be passed on to cells in other bodies almost automatically if they are receptive, The Mind can only devise systems and seek to confine everything in them. The Mind takes one a bit of truth, one drop of divine illumi-nation, and makes it a universal law; it constantly confuses unity with uniformity. The over-mind is a godlike consciousness, of the greatest prophets the world has ever known. Yet the over-mind can only broaden the human scope, not change it. We do not need super consciousness; what we need is another consciousness.

Each person must find their own method, without effort so that Grace or the Universal Mind from above moves the spirit in the individual Mind. We do not know who we are, and still less what we are capable of until the Mind is clear of thoughts. This is not beyond ordinary human possibilities. The mistake is in judging with our present Mind that which belongs to The Universal Mind. Once on the path a whole range of invisible forces, that far exceed our normal possibilities, are able to transform our human bio-computer. The first sign of this transition is the ‘Divine Discontent’ with our perception of the world. Spiritual seek-ers begin to understand that they are being born to another life, with new eyes, and new senses not yet formed; they are like newborn child just coming into the world. There is not a lessening of consciousness but, in reality, a passage to a new consciousness: In fact, gradually we discover that there is no necessity to think. Univeral Con-sciousness does all the work, with a precision and infallibility that grows as we get into the habit of referring to it.


Greeks had no sole right to take the name Hellas and He-lenes, the bright and shining ones.

Babylonians had no sole right to take the name Chaldeans, Chaladim, the archangels.

Germans had no sole right to call themselves Herrenvolk.

Christians had no sole right to usurp the Christos from the Hindus, Egyptians and Greeks.

Latter Day Saints had no sole right to call themselves Chil-dren of Judah any more than Hebrews had no sole right to use of the name Israelite for

All the above names signi-fied the spiritual nexus which is the potential source of en-lightenment for all of human-ity.

There is no necessity to remember, since the ex-act information comes when needed; there is no need to plan any action, since a secret spring sets it in motion without thinking about it, and makes us do exactly what is needed with a wisdom and foresight of which our mind is incapable. Even-tually, after many trials and tribulations, we will understand that the mind is not an instrument of knowledge but only an organizer of knowledge, as Sri Aurobindo puts it, and that knowledge comes from some where else. When the mind is silent, words come, speech comes, action comes, and ev-erything comes automatically. It is a much lighter way of living. For there is nothing the mind can do that cannot be done in thought-free stillness. Finally, there is the physical consciousness itself which has never been entirely transformed. The overall consciousness of the body has been trans-formed by changing habits but what remains to be changed is the consciousness of the cells.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hugh Colmer, artist and philosopher, has completed his “Opus Magnum” on the subject of Cosmic and Wisdom Religion. Hugh possesses an array of talents that have led him from agent/producer of art and photography to the investigation of compara-tive myth and religion. Inspired by his initial searches, he co-wrote a novel with Anthony Masters in 1995 called “Hidden Gods: The Doorway,” wherein a news photographer is on an urgent quest to find the secrets of Atlantis encoded into the Great Pyramid.

His last book, “The Galactic Super Wave Tarot” delves into the mys-tery of a greater unseen “Power,” that not only exists, but controls the everything of who and what we are. The Tarot belongs to the same iconographic tradition as Egyptian hieroglyphics and is a Perfect Language of Images. Punctuated with 78 stunning images replete with ancient symbolism.

During Hugh’s examination of myth and religion, he realized that the Cross and the Circle were the most profound symbols of all time and so inspired him to register The Crosscircle Group to publish books and writings on spiritual ‘Truth.’ His core inspiration and commit-ment is to share the wisdom of the ancients, like that found in the ‘Book of Thoth’ and its subsequent incarnations as the Tarot. Like those who were part of the Knights Templar, he is dedicated to un-covering and sharing the Truth of the Ages, which is the raison d’etre for the art and text he created for “The World is Pagan.”

Hugh and his wife Carol run a spiritual retreat center in Windham, NY.
