Truth and Oblivion

The creed which a fanatical sect produced...has shown a great power over the minds of men throughout these twenty-five centuries...Why it was born at that particular moment, or ever, is something that no one can explain - Douglas Reed (Controversy of Zion)

A short time ago, historically speaking, a worldwide cataclysm precipitated the fall of advanced pre-diluvian civilizations. Supposedly, mighty continents sank beneath towering waves, were swallowed by the gaping earth, or were simply obliterated from the face of existing landmasses by ferocious natural forces. By colossal error and folly, the scattered remnants of these pre-diluvian civilizations have since been taken for the nascent ones of the so-called "historical" period that ostensibly commenced approximately 8,000 years ago, during the early Neolithic epoch. Although the earliest of the world's Mesolithic and Megalithic sites have proven to be more sophisticated in design and construction than those of later date, most people continue to accept the unsustainable fiction concerning the world of the past. Ancient man was primitive and modern man is civilized. This is what most people accept and believe. It is, however, one of the most egregious fallacies conceivable.

...in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age - (words of an Egyptian priest to Solon, the father of Plato)

A second cataclysmic wave, so to speak, has likewise swept from the Earth the august Druidic colleges that operated throughout the world restoring, for the good of all, the elements of technology from a devastated bygone age - the age of the gods. These colleges and their creators are equally lost, equally buried, and equally forgotten. In the place of these sanctums of knowledge and culture there eventually arose institutions and teachings that sought not to improve and enlighten but to confuse and mislead. They were the creations of virtueless men. These men eventually erected empires upon sites where the Druid Elders - the Servants of Truth - had once given instruction concerning the workings of mind and soul, world and cosmos. It might be said that history is the story of the conflict between the Servants of Truth and the virtueless ones, between magicians and sorcerers. The obliteration of the gnosis of the primordial caste of Elders was a man-made holocaust largely unknown to us today. It is this calamity that has damaged and oppressed the peoples of the world more than any series of natural disasters, terrible as they might have been. To these Elders of old, a twisted and darkened mind was a horror worse to behold than a broken, lightless world.

The state of learning on the continent of Europe at that time, wherever the influence of the Roman Church was dominant, was at a very low state or non-existent. It was only in the monastic establishments maintained at different points on the continent by the monks of the Irish Church that learned men were to be found. There were practically no learned men in the Roman Church at that time. Even a century later when the Emperor Charlemagne espoused the cause of the Roman Church, he had to get Irish schoolmen for instructors to teach in the palace school which he established - Conor MacDari (The Bible: An Irish Book)

Regardless of the effort and zeal, we can hardly prove to everyone's satisfaction that Judeo-Christianity has its roots in Irish Druidism, and in what came before.

We cannot prove that Christianity's founders decided to destroy all trace of their new religion's esoteric Irish origins, even if this should be our strongest held belief. Too little is known of these austere founders of official Christianity, these ruthless autocrats who galvanized their crumbling empires and waning control through the instigation of a corrupt solar theology. The Roman Emperor Constantine, the founder of Christianity who intolerantly sent hundreds to their deaths as heretics and non-believers, was himself not baptized until after his death. Yes, the Machiavellian architects of Judeo-Christianity perished ages ago and so we are unable to prove whether they were truly god-inspired or not. We can merely examine and scrutinize their actions, and those of the men who succeeded them and acted in their name.

It is from such rational scrutiny that we can base our judgments. We can heed the advice of the Christ, as recorded in the Book of Matthew, while noting the passage's Druidic imagery:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them - (Matt 7:15-20)

The Gods have proclaimed Christ to have been most pious, but the Christians are a confused and vicious sect - Porphyry (Neoplatonic philosopher, 3rd century BC)

The Church burned enormous amounts of literature. In 391 Christians burned down one of the world's greatest libraries in Alexandria, said to have housed 700,000 rolls. All the books of the Gnostic Basilides, Porphyry's 36 volumes, papyrus rolls of 27 schools of the Mysteries, and 270,000 ancient documents gathered by Ptolemy Philadelphus were burned. Ancient academies of learning were closed. Education for anyone outside of the Church came to an end - Helen Ellerbe (The Dark Side of Christian History)

Every science was regarded as an outcast, an enemy. Every fact held the creed of the church in scorn. Investigators were enemies in disguise. Thinkers were traitors, and the church exerted its vast power for centuries to prevent the intellectual progress of man. There was no liberty, no education, no philosophy, no science; nothing but credulity, ignorance, and superstition. The world was really under the control of Satan and his agents. The church, for the purpose of increasing her power, exhausted every means to convince the people of the existence of witches, devils, and fiends. In this way the church had every enemy within her power. She simply had to charge him with being a wizard, of holding communication with devils, and the ignorant mob was ready to tear him to pieces - Robert Green Ingersoll (The Great Infidels, 1881)

People of today laugh at these things because they know the facts, but people of future generations will not know and therefore they will accept them as true history - (The Conquest of Ireland)

O You, the Great God, whose name is unknown - (From Hymn to Amun Ra, 2350 BC)

Thou art the one, the God from the very beginnings of time, the heir of immortality, self-produced and self-born; thou didst create the earth and make man - (Egyptian Book of the Dead, 2,600 BC)

Homage to thee, O Amen-Ra, Lord of Thebes, Thou Joy, the ornament of the gods! All men lift up their faces to gaze upon him. Thou art the Lord, inspiring awe, crushing those who would revolt against thee. Thou art the King of all the gods. Thou art the great god, the Living One. Thou art beloved for thy words, Which are the satisfaction of the gods. Thou art the King of heaven, thou didst make the stars - (From Hymn to Amen Ra)

When you dawn, their eyes observe you, As your rays light the whole earth, Every heart acclaims your sight, When you are risen as their lord - (Egyptian "Short Hymn to the Aten")

The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults - Fredrick Nietzsche

Everything supernatural the presbyters wrote about their developing god could be traced to earlier religious beliefs - Tony Bushby (Bible Fraud)

As Karl Luckert points out, modern commentators, while acknowledging that this concept of Jesus’s continued spiritual presence is not Jewish, do not provide any ideas as to its true context and background. So where did this idea come from? Luckert’s erudite analysis shows conclusively that the twin concepts of Jesus’ unique Resurrection and his continued presence can be traced without a shadow of doubt to Egyptian theology - John M. Robinson (Pagan Christs)

When quiet was re-established in Egypt by the Roman armies, after more than sixty years of civil troubles, it was found to be no longer the same country that it had been...It was during these years of civil trouble and political agitation that Christianity, or at least a form of religion which called itself Christian, spread over the whole of Egypt. That large class of the population which a few years before formed the priesthood of the old temples, were now Christian monks - Samuel Sharpe (Egyptian Mythology and Egyptian Christianity)

Since the building of Constantinople, and the removal of the seat of government to that city, no political quarrel separated Rome from Egypt. Pagan Rome, ever since the union of the two countries under Augustus, except when interrupted by the rebellions, had been eagerly copying the superstitions of Egypt, and Christian Rome still followed the same course - ibid

Fortunately the bible, like any book, will reveal its secrets, but only to those skeptical and persistent enough to follow the twists and turns in its convoluted text in order to ascertain what is true and what is false. Academics concede that the bible's text is full of "pious fraud." They admit that there are two gods being spoken of in the opening books and that as time went by these two gods (Elohim and Jehovah) became fused into one, known henceforth as the "Lord God." They concede that there are errors, fictions, and skewed facts and that there are stories concerning people who never lived. They freely admit that there are plagiarisms and renditions of pagan myths and legends, and that the very gospels were not written by those four "saints" after whom they are named. Yes, a lot of things have been conceded since bible study began in earnest a mere 100 years ago. And a lot has had to be conceded given the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic Gospels, texts from within Christianity that contradict some of the most revered but falsely authenticated tropes of the official testaments. The Dead Sea Scrolls made no mention of Jesus Christ or the early Christian church. At the time of their discovery…It has long been known that there was information in the Dead Sea Scrolls damning to Christian beliefs and the church’s high-level involvement with interpreting the Scrolls fostered a grave element of suspicion. Since the Scrolls were found some six decades ago, close associates of the Vatican were placed in dominant positions in every phase of the investigation and translations of the Scrolls. The priests regulated the flow of information and controlled its release - Tony Bushby (The Bible Fraud)

The Druids - The oldest priestarchy on earth, from the oldest civilization on earth. Egyptian religion and Judeo-Christianity were plagiarizations and corruptions of the Druidic Mystery School Gnosis   back

Despite these relatively important concessions we are still in need of revelations concerning the actual origins of it all. Scholars have been correct to sense that the source of Judeo-Christianity lies in the Egypt of over 32 pharaonic dynasties with traditions stretching back to the remotest periods. Yet these same minds cannot accept that the theology and traditions of predynastic Egypt could have been transplanted there from elsewhere. Sadly, the connections between Egypt and the more ancient land of Ireland have barely been broached. Those few revisionists who offered proofs of the connection are all but forgotten.

The monuments prove that, quite early in the Dynastic Period, there was known and worshipped in Lower Egypt another form of the Sun-god who was called RA. Of his origin and early history nothing is known, and the meaning of his name has not yet been satisfactorily explained. It does not seem to be Egyptian - E. A. Wallis Budge (Tutankhamen: Amenism, Atenism and Egyptian Monotheism, 1923)

The centre of the cult of Ra in Egypt was Anu, or Heliopolis, and the city must have been inhabited by a cosmopolitan population (who were chiefly worshippers of the sun) from time immemorial. All the caravans from Arabia and Syria halted there, whether outward or homeward bound, and men of many nations and tongues must have exchanged ideas there as well as commodities - ibid

As we have said, oblivion has been the fated destination of any skeptical scholar, historian, or writer with the effrontery to go against convention and question the barrage of spurious conjecture that would have the world accept the uniqueness of Jesus, the divinity of the Church, the veracity of the gospels, or beloved notions concerning the exodus, diaspora, and the East to West dispersion of cultural elements. The suppression of those few researchers and scholars who sought to expose the truth about the "greatest story ever told" serves as one more important clue for the investigator on the trail of the criminals responsible for the deliberate and outright obliteration of Druidry. No text was to survive that recorded and revealed the truth and no human voice was to speak and proclaim it. Yet skepticism is a correct attitude to adopt when we are asked to believe that the elements of civilization migrated from East to West, or that a small and insignificant group of vagabond exiles from one of the oldest and greatest civilizations on earth were chosen by god to be the spiritual fathers of the world. And skepticism is certainly appropriate when we are told by its representatives that we must either conform to the tenets and dogmas of the Judeo-Christian religion or suffer eternal damnation. If we are so inclined, we might exchange our precious skepticism for something greater yet. We might exchange it for a true understanding of mankind's past and might choose knowledge as our salvation instead of the jaded cynicism so pervasive in today's world. We might certainly question this phantasmagoric religion of desert wastelands, this revelation to shepherds and wanderers that has dominated the world now for 2,500 years. We might be compelled to discover if, like the scarecrow at the horizon, it is what it appears to be. We might be compelled to re-categorize the bible's literature and theology now that we have known Kafka, Dostoevsky, Hesse, and Cervantes. We might be able to judge well the logic, perspicacity, and even the sanity of its authors now that we have benefited from our introductions to de Sade, Joyce, and Lovecraft.

If and when we consider the events that have transpired under the auspices of this religion, or the crimes that have been committed in the name of its god (the genocide, subjugation, sadistic inquisitions, repression of natural instincts, suppression of women, sequestering of knowledge, reticence to disclose origins, negation and despiritualization of nature, and so on), we might find within us a very strong drive to uncover the truth that has eluded so many. But even if we begin as skeptics, we can pose a few basic questions of importance before the world even though we swear to trust only in ourselves to find the answers. Our first question goes something like this - Is Judeo-Christianity a creation of man or god? Our second must be - Are those architects of its official dogma interested in knowing god or in controlling the minds of men? Is theirs the business of enlightenment or enslavement? And for our third question - Is the bible about reason or belief, truth or falsehood, clarity or confusion?

The Hierarchy of Aton

At the close of the ‘Great Hymn to the Aten’ it says, “There is no one who knows you, except your son, Akhenaton” - Lorraine Evans (Kingdom of the Ark)

The bible is a compilation of numerous occidental and oriental pagan doctrines. Its compilation was commissioned by the chiefs of the Solar Cult (Atonists) situated in Tanis, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Rome, in order to galvanize their empire and maintain control over the minds of the mass of illiterate and superstition-ridden human beings under their dominion. Dominion over men and the world was what it was all about, and little has changed when it comes to this agenda.

Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God…But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God - (Peter 2:18-21)

Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven - (Colossians 4:1)

One of the pernicious ideologies promoted and broadcast by the church, and by the bible, concerns the phenomenon of hierarchy. Hierarchy replaced holarchy as an metaphysical paradigm and world view after the advent of orthodox Christianity. Along with its erroneous concepts regarding selfhood, it was this modification of metaphysics that separated Christianity from its Druidic origins. In the Christian universe a man is assigned his role and place from the outset. He is a sinner and worthy of death. Above him reigns an imperious god and his chosen ministers. Below his level dwells Satan and the fires of hell. If a man should wish to ascend toward godhead, he must follow the guidelines set down by his masters. He must conform and believe what he is told by those who know what is best for his soul. He must combat the sin of self-will and obey without question all he is told. After all, his instruction comes directly from god who speaks only through his most trusted ministers. In this way a man is kept in his place, within his designated station. His rebellious drives are placated by endless future promises forever unfulfilled. The most fantastic and yet psychically tranquilizing of these promises concerns a man's fate in the afterlife. If he performs his duties well in this life he may inherit good things after he dies. His sins will be forgiven and his soul will be at rest for eternity. If he rebels and does not perform his assigned tasks he will perish and be eternally damned. Promises were the business of the Church, and they still are. In this regard nothing has changed. They were in fashion then and they are in fashion now. It is by way of this reward contract that the church has slowly but effectively molded men into obedient slaves. This crafty tactic has even served to quell the Spirit of Rebellion in many men. Yes, one cannot think of a more successful stratagem than the promise.

I will reveal to you the hidden Treasures, the Riches kept in secret, that you may know that I am the Lord - (Isaiah 45:3)

In private, to his disciples, he revealed everything - (Mark 4:34)

Sadly and astonishingly, prominent and inquiring men have also seen fit to submit their reason to this promise of "secret" knowledge transmitted privately. Indeed, there is no secret society of importance operating anywhere in the world that does not employ this very ruse to ensure loyalty and obedience from its selected members and initiates. It is obviously a major turn-on for certain people to consider themselves privy to an arcane tradition lauded from the heights by so august and powerful a quorum. As the feudal barons garnered assistance in times of war from their knights and serfs by promises of land and loot, so have the religious quorum seduced men by the lure of sequestered wisdom. Promises of this kind have, however, served a greater purpose than to merely ensure conformity and obedience. The promise of secret knowledge plays to the vanity of men, the very vanity that Ecclesiastes so adamantly warns mankind against. The promise becomes a lure and source of obsession. Under the spell of the promise men will eagerly construct and endorse the obscene hierarchy. They will do so because they secretly desire rank within that hierarchy. The vast majority of men seek to lord it over those below them. And once this seniority is bestowed, protected, and ensured, the vanity of "little men" is swiftly satiated. One may not be pharaoh over the whole game, but being made the lord over one small square on the board, so to speak, provides quite enough ego satisfaction for the power-gorged man in this world. The masters of men’s minds bet on their puppet’s vanity being their best ally. They bet well.

Behold! The Secrets of Yahweh our God: those things revealed to us and our descendants for ever - (Deuteronomy 29:29)

You have revealed to me the secret and hidden things of Your Wisdom - (Psalms 51:6)

Jesus said: "It is only to those who are worthy that I reveal my mysteries" - (Gospel of Thomas)

There was always an exoteric portion given out to the world, to the uninitiated, and an esoteric portion reserved for the initiates, and revealed only in degrees, accordingly as the candidate demonstrated his fitness to receive, conceal and rightly use the knowledge so imparted. Few professed Christians are aware, perhaps, that such was the case with Christianity during the early centuries - Dr. Lawrence Buck (Mystic Masonry)

You have heard as much of the Mystery as we are allowed to speak openly in the ears of all: the rest will be communicated to you in private, and that you must retain within yourself…our Mysteries are not to be made known to strangers - Saint Gregory (Bishop of Constantinople 540-604)

Every time that you find in our books a tale, the reality of which seems impossible, a story that is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth…and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of spirit - Rabbi Moses Maimonides

Whoever shall find out the true sense of the Book of Genesis ought to take care not to divulge it…If a person should discover the true meaning of it by himself, or by the aid of another, then he ought to be silent, or if he speaks he ought to speak of it obscurely, in an enigmatical manner, as I do myself - ibid

The mysteries of the Faith are not to be divulged to all...It is requisite to hide in a mystery the wisdom spoken - Clement of Alexandria (Second Century Grecian Christian theologian)

The man who, consciously or unconsciously, chases the lure of the promise soon begins to entertain the false notion that his enlightenment lies outside his own keep. As a subservient fragment within the hierarchical structure, it is his masters above his level who possess the keys to his salvation. It is they, the elevated elites, those closer to god, who will bestow his rewards. This kind of egregious anti-human manipulation, and deliberate liberty taken with man's natural curiosity and passion for truth and meaning, is among the most heinous of the many crimes that can be laid before the doors of religion, the Judeo-Christian door in particular.

It is necessary that a man be taught by a Prophet of God, for they clearly see the Light, and can reveal the Path to Paradise - (Gospel of Barnabas)

Look for your Shepherd, for He will give you everlasting rest; for he who comes to end the era is close at hand. Be ready for the rewards of the Kingdom; the Eternal Light which will shine on you for evermore. Flee from the shadow of this world, and receive the joy and Splendor...Receive the gift that the Lord offers you and be joyful...Arise, stand up, and see all those who have been sealed at the Lord's feast. Those who have departed from the shadow of this age have received Shining robes from the Lord - (2 Esdras, or 4 Ezra 2:34-39)

We speak of God's hidden mysteries: the Secret Wisdom - (1 Corinthians 2:7)

Now I will show you new things, hidden things, unknown to you - (Isaiah 48:6)

I will reveal to you the great Mysteries of which you do not know - (Jeremiah 33:2)

I will give unto them the Mystery of my Father in secret - (Gnosis of the Light - Codex Brucianus)

The king (Constantine the Great) was the senior Christian convert. His station, as the artwork frequently depicted, was above everyone else and just below god. He was at the pinnacle and was god’s first agent upon earth after Christ. Indeed, the title “king” (like the title "lord") has often been used as an epithet for Christ. Many Jews certainly thought of Jesus as a Messiah (savior king) and Christians respond to these political terms without too much consideration as to what they imply subtextually. You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world to testify to the Truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me - (John 18:37) …all kings of Judea were called ‘God’ by the people - Tony Bushby (The Bible Fraud) Yes, anything but teach men to understand that wisdom comes from their own hearts and minds during the life of experience into which they have been born. Anything but turn a man on to the journey of self-discovery as was taught by true instructors during the most ancient of days. In this regard, we cannot but think of the remonstrations contained in the Book of Matthew:

Constantine - "The Great" Crowned as emperor in England, in the year 306 AD, he made Christianity the official religion of Rome after a mystical vision. He murdered his wife and eldest son the same year he convened the Council of Nicea. Throughout his life he was head of the Sol Invicta Cult that, like Atonism, believed the Emperor to be a incarnation of the Sun.

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You close the Kingdom of Heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to - (Matt 23)

The Imitatio Christi will forever have this disadvantage: we worship a man as a divine model, embodying the deepest meaning of life, and then out of sheer imitation we forget to make real the profound meaning present in ourselves - Carl Gustav Jung

According to Bishop Epiphanius, the Krist is the spiritual self within each person - Tony Bushby (The Bible Fraud)

The Egyptians had no vicarious atonement, no imputed righteousness, no second-hand salvation. No initiate in the Osirian mysteries could possibly have rested his hope of reaching heaven on the Galilean line of glory. His was the more crucial way of Amenta...to tread with the guidance of the word, that step by step and act by act he must himself make true - Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt - Light of the World, 1907)

The Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans, had no word in their language for sin: the Israelites introduced both the word and the concept into the stream of Western civilization and by doing so diverted it - Leonard Schlain (The Alphabet Versus the Goddess)

Along with the kind of mind manipulation outlined here, the authors of religion made sure to bamboozle their minions with drama and imagery designed to coerce the imagination into working overtime in their favor. The Judeo-Christian texts are full of bombastic sense-entertaining motifs. There came thundering and lightening, and a cloud upon the mountain of God, and a great Voice like trumpets blasting, so that all the people in the camp trembled - (Exodus 19:16) The sound, like trumpets, grew louder; when Moses spoke, God answered him with a Voice like thunder - (Exodus 19:19) Indeed there were secrets behind Christianity, reserved for the initiated. There were dangerous yet empowering truths in store for those who had made the grade. And there still are. One of the most important and extraordinary of these secrets concerns the Astro-Theological interpretation of the scriptures. Astrology (and its kindred meta-sciences of Numerology and Sacred Geometry, etc) was the heuristic device revealed to the initiates enabling them to decode convoluted scriptures impenetrable to laymen. And more; it was the sacred principles of Druidry that were to be studied by the senior Templars, Masons, Cardinals, Priests, and Kabalists of old.

The Baptism of Constantine, by Raphael. Notice the Pharaonic pose of the "Christian" Emperor

The wisdom of old, the myths, parables, and dark sayings that were preserved, have been presented to us dreadfully deformed in the course of being converted into history - Alfred Churchward (The Origin and Evolution of Religion)

The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun - Thomas Paine

Ammonius Saccas (a Greek philosopher, founder of the Neoplatonic School) taught that Christianity and Paganism, when rightly understood, differ in no essential points, but had a common origin, and are really one and the same religion - Sarah Elizabeth Titcomb (Aryan Sun Myths)

...this whole affair of which we speak and preach, and which is called Gospel, has no reference at all to any person that ever existed, or events that ever occurred upon earth, but it is astronomical - Rev. Robert Taylor (The Devil's Pulpit)

...in the ancient Mystery dramas the central character was ever the Sun-god the role being enacted by the candidate for initiation in person. He went through the several initiations as himself the type and representative of the solar divinity in the field of human experience - Alvin Boyd Kuhn (The Great Myth of the Sun-Gods)

The Egyptian Book of the Dead, which is traced back to 4,260 BC, years before the writing of the New Testament, has its foundation in the lore of the heavens, and in poetical imagery follows the path of the Sun through the different signs of the zodiac. Many phrases, many headings of the chapters of the New Testament are similar to those in the Book of the Dead - Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt: Light of the World)

…in treating of these starry groupings and pictures we are dealing with something very different from the inventions of paganism and mythology - with something as sacred in origin, as venerable in age and as edifying in import as anything known to man. Corrupt religion and classic fable have interfered to obscure and pervert their meaning, and scientific self-will has crowded them with impertinent and unmeaning additions; but in reality they constitute the primeval Bible - Joseph A. Seiss (Gospel of the Stars)

The four principal festivals of the solar worship celebrated in the northern hemisphere were the spring or vernal equinox, the summer solstice, the autumnal equinox, and the winter solstice. Their observance can be traced to the remotest period of history or tradition and belongs to every nation and every wide-spread religion of which we have any knowledge - Alexander Del Mar

Only minds completely crazed or fatally confused by the current Christomania would suppose that the details of the story, which is as old at least as the Cult of Ptah in Memphis, were derived from the "historic" version that was canonized at last as Christian...The repetition of this as Christian legend in the Gospels is no mere replica of "heathen" sentiments, images, types and phrases. it is a reproduction of the Egyptian astronomical mythology and eschatology in the disguise of pretended history - Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt - Light of the World, 1907)

Thankfully, there have been those down through time, as well as at the time, who knew that the bible was a concoction of ancient solar theocracy and that it did not depict actual events.

But few could openly rival or contradict the autocratic dynasties of Alexandria, Athens, Rome, and the Orient who possessed the power to dictate just what would be accepted as history and gospel and what would not. Few could stand up, or speak up, against the Roman emperors who did not tolerate dissent and who punished those rebels who would not submit to their rule. Being written in Latin also ensured that few people were able to understand the bible's texts or make up their own minds about its strange content. Additionally, most of the people of the world, being illiterate, could not care less whether the bible was based on fact or not, and the very few literate readers knew full well what the consequences were if they offered refutations or contradicted the almighty emperor and his appointed bishops. The memory of the fate of the great Giordano Bruno would be enough to quell most dissent. The situation was no different during the time of the despot King James Stuart. People accepted his "Authorized" version simply because he had authorized it. That version of the bible, and only that version, would be considered right. There was no debate about the matter.

Astrology and Astro-Theology. The heuristic devices used by the elites to decode the Bible's strange and convoluted scriptures

You either accepted it or could prepare to be garroted, incarcerated, or burned at the stake as a heretic. The bible was the word of god and god, to all intents and purposes, was the king.

With his instruction now fulfilled, Emperor Constantine decreed that the new writings be thereafter called the ‘words of God’ and be attached…to copies of the Hebrew Old Testament. Emperor Vespasian, in the First Century, had proclaimed the entire Jewish territory the personal property of the Roman Emperors, and his decision was officially ratified by the Senate. In effect, all later Emperors were in control of the Jewish religion…Emperor Constantine effectively attempted to amalgamate the earlier Jewish religion with his new cult. By legal inheritance, he was also. After Eusebius had finished drawing upon the large array of presbyter’s texts, Constantine then ordered them destroyed by fire and ‘any man found concealing one should be stricken off from his shoulders (beheaded) - Tony Bushby (The Bible Fraud)

...in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue - (1 Corinthians 14:19)

It is not very difficult for a rational person to see that there is something distasteful and wholly suspect about the majority of the sordid stories in the bible. If it were not for the indoctrination which begins during our earliest years we would regard the bible as a book to be avoided rather than lauded. If it were not because of the existential ennui that leaves a man open to manipulation we would regard the god of the Testaments as a most deplorable creature. We would regard the bible in the same way we do the Maya Popul Vuh, the Norse Eddas, or the Aryan Shastras and Vedas, as a book with interesting aspects not to be wholly believed or used to condemn other human beings to eternal damnation. Without brainwashing the bible would be avoided by literate men and hardly considered a manual for right living. No, the bible would be seen for what it is - the bizarre creation of the deranged. It might even be given an "X" rating and kept well out of the way of youngsters who would find all they require for right living in Plato, Aristotle, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Rand, or in the myths and legends of their ancestors. In our opinion, this mythic archive contains all that a man or woman needs for moral rectitude and spiritual maturation. If there is value in the bible it exists only in the proof that its text offers us concerning the depth of human idiocy and depravity. As a catalog of man's inhumanity and perversity the bible serves the student well. As William Blake affirmed, its proverbs are not of heaven but of hell.

Both read the Bible day and night, but I read black where you read white - William Blake

He that reads ecclesiastical history, reads nothing but roguery and folly of bishops and churchmen - Grotius (Epistle 22)

In no land or literature has the mythical mode of representation been perverted and reduced to driveling foolishness more fatally than in some of the Hebrew legends - Gerald Massey

Of all the evils which escaped from Pandora's Box, the institution of priesthoods was the worst. Priests have been the curse of the world...Look at China, the festival of Juggernaut, the Crusades, the massacres of St. Bartholomew, of the Mexicans, and of the Peruvians, the fires of the Inquisition, of Mary, Cranmer, Calvin...look every where and you will see the priests reeking with gore. They have converted, and are converting, populous and happy nations into deserts, and have made our beautiful world into a slaughter-house drenched with blood and tears - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)

I believe it because it is absurd - (declaration on Christianity from Church Father Tertullian)

Towards the end of his life…St. Augustine confessed that Christianity was ‘a religion of threats and bribes unworthy of wise men’ - Tony Bushby (Bible Fraud)

I never reason on religion. None but the disciples of devils reason. It's dangerous to reason on religion - Rev. Moody (American Clergyman)

The man who does finally discover how he has been misled into believing the bible to be a history and biography, rather than a solar theology, is very likely to turn off altogether and give matters of religion no more consideration. This has been the way chosen by the majority of professed agnostics and atheists in the world. However this is, in our opinion, not a constructive or rational decision since there is only partial wisdom to be had in finding out how one has been duped. True wisdom comes when we discover the underlying reasons for any deception and when we find out what it was within us that needed to believe such fictions. Moreover, there is a duty to prevent the entrapment of other human beings, particularly those coming into the world after us, who are sure to be likewise duped and waylaid if they are not forewarned. Freedom tastes all the better when we know that is shared by our fellow brothers and sisters of the world. We are motivated to our work when we see a world still harboring liars in robes of black who, knowing full well the errors within their bible, deny reason, and continue year after year to consciously mislead their congregations while thinking only of their personal material status. We see these creatures who have placed their loyalty to Mammon, and who are deaf to humanity's cries for true spiritual enrichment.

Many historians have been puzzled as to why Western "European" man has had such an obsessive fascination with the convoluted nonsense of the bible. Why was this tome taken to heart by Westerners who had their own rich ancestral traditions? Certainly, force was involved, but the main reason for its acceptance is a carefully guarded secret. The bible stories were accepted throughout the occident because they were born there. Travesties they may be, but the ancestral brain remembers and is subconsciously familiar with the underlying truths contained in the bible's lamentably fragmented and convoluted texts.

Behind the apparent nonsense and contradictions, the protestations and dubious morality tales, lies the great tale - that of the stars, the heavens, and the wisdom therein. The words of Scottish Rite Freemason Albert Pike make the situation clear: Masonry, like all the religions, all Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve to be mislead; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it...The Teachers, even of Christianity, are, in general, the most ignorant of the true meaning of that which they teach. There is no book of which so little is known as the Bible...Masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray - Albert Pike (Morals and Dogma, 1871)

The Bible is comprehensible only to initiates of the Mysteries, asserts Mason Albert Pike

Many people have chosen to believe the incomprehensible gobbledygook of the bible simply indicates its scribes and editors were not, in fact, guilty of any conscious manipulation of history or theology. If they had wanted to create a religion to manipulate the entire world then surely they would have compiled a more consistent and realistic tome. In other words, they would have done a better job. We submit, however, that it is foolhardy to believe that the bible's utter incoherence and fantastic collection of scientific, philosophical, and theological errors, is proof of innocence on behalf of its composers and compilers. The various biblical councils could certainly have fashioned for themselves and their flock a book of sublime rationality such as would have impressed the Grecian philosophers. But this was not their aim and the inconsistencies and absurdities were purposely left in for a very important reason. A rational book, understood by all, would need no interpreters whereas a mythical compendium would require it. The clerics, bishops, cardinals, priests, and curates of the past, and the hysterical, verbose, and ludicrous evangelists and pastors who preach today, would hardly be required if the chapters, verses, and words of the bible made sense. They were not intended to make rational sense. They were chosen, entered, and espoused because they stimulate the mythic sensibility and ancestral consciousness. They stir the imagination and limbic centers of the brain, and mollify the needs and cravings of the many rather than sharpen the logic of the independent thinker. The world's masses require myths, and subconsciously rely upon them in order to feel secure. Believing these myths allows a man to feel part, rather than apart, of the collective. Men require things to believe in, and to have faith in. They are largely unaware of how these needs make them victims of manipulation.  Where belief is operating, sanity and reason are often in abeyance, and the masters of the game, the "Scribes and Pharisees" so to speak, know this only too well. The early potentates never expected an independent and critical class to rise during their own time, or at any other time. They were concerned with duping the mass, the rank and file, and those illiterate hordes who could not work out the bible's meaning for themselves and who would not be permitted to do so. Humanity inherited the Cult of the Priest and has been under the power of these blackguards for thousands of years. For their special self-appointed duty of pontificating upon the "mysteries" of the bible they live in luxury and are awarded all sorts of titles and social privileges. Indeed, it is this special overclass that molds and controls the societies of the world. The god of these duplicitous and profoundly sadistic men did not write his own biography or record his own activities. He had secretaries, public relations officers, image consultants, and make-over artists to do it for him. He was made in the image of those with cruelty in their hearts and world dominion on their minds. The world's cultures were filled with gods and goddesses some of which were of a very pure and lofty nature. Some are immensely ancient and deeply revered. The god of Judeo-Christianity had to stand out. He had to be properly shaped to suit a practical and political end. If Jehovah could be made to thunder and flash, and if his countenance was stern, angry, and vengeful, as opposed to gentle, loving, and forgiving, then men would fear him. Even very rebellious and iconoclastic men would harbor fear in his presence. And if men could be trained to fear and obey their brooding heavenly "Lord" and "Master" they could soon be trained to fear and obey their earthly lords. It seemed a feasible and relatively simple ploy. It was an attractive notion to the emperors and princes who commanded their mythmongers to script "Lord God" as a most intolerant, hot-tempered sort ready to damn to perdition those who showed the least sign of contempt or self will. The scribes did their work well. Their travesty of theology sent men into a maze of conflicts and confusion. In their hellish vats fear was mixed with love and forgiveness with vengeance. On their canvases heaven was contrasted with hell, and beauty with corruption. The human reason was gradually but expertly subverted.

For all who fear My Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall shine with healing in its rays - (Malachi 4:2)

The Lord spoke unto me saying...This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee - (Deuteronomy 2:25)

Solar Theology Reborn

Charles Francois Dupuis, in his Origin of Worship, one of the most elaborate and remarkable works on mythology ever penned, shows that nearly all the religions of the world, including Christianity, were derived largely from solar worship - John E. Remsberg (The Christ)

The adoration of the sun was one of the earliest and most natural forms of religious expression. Complex modern theologies are merely involvements and amplifications of this simple aboriginal belief - Manly Palmer Hall

The bible is a mysterious document indeed. Few seem to know what it is really meant to be about. Each interpreter and scholar asserts a different point of view, and one theory often contradicts another. One thing is clear; Judeo-Christian doctrines are the basis of some of the vilest and most horrific acts of indecency, aggression, and criminality imaginable. Our understanding of the bible is made a great deal easier when we finally realize that what it contains is not history. The tales and legends in the bible that have been put before the public as a people's history is anything but a history in the true sense of the word. This does not invalidate the content, it merely puts it in the correct context so that greater sense may be gleaned from it. Throughout the ancient tales there are many repetitive motifs. One of the most repetitive refrains concerns the building of a new world over the ashes of the old. In the various accounts we find evidence of guilt and, of course, fear of the Lord. There is also a fear of the world. There is a certain terror of extinction coupled with a fervent desire to build a better world than that which existed in the past when men disobeyed god and endured enormous suffering as a result. And so, in the various morality tales of the Old and New Testaments, we receive an emphasis on obedience and right living, and on the consequences for disobedience and sinfulness. The stories that came down embodying such warnings were embellished over and over again to further highlight the theme of virtue. This embellishment was the important thing and not the factuality or historical relevance. So today, when clerics, pastors, priests, and duplicitous "experts" seek to convince us as to the veracity of such fables, we must counter with facts, and with the evidence now coming forth from writers and researchers equipped with enough logic and perspicacity to put us in the know.

When one begins to describe historical developments within the regions of South Syria on the basis of archaeological data, one finds a very different picture of Palestine's past than in many books of biblical archaeology. The sketch of ancient Israel that comes from a harmonizing of archaeology with the biblical story is not congruent with the Bible's view - Thomas L. Thompson (The Mythic Past: Biblical Archaeology and the Myth of Israel)

We also have to recognize that most of our Bible stories are neither whole nor original compositions. They were not put together as narrative accounts of the past, but as collections of fragmented traditions that survived the past...When we start with Israel...we need to recognize that our understanding of Israel as a people and as a nation is unrelated to any known historical Israel - ibid

Without a detailed and independent understanding of the historical contexts in which a story once had its relevance, our ability to distinguish historical writing from fiction is fragile at best. Nowhere do the narratives directly reflect the world of old Israel that they tried to revive and preserve. The biblical traditions reflect but incoherent, part fictive, remnants of a past that those who came to see themselves as the survivors of the destruction were able to put together and give meaning to in the radically new worlds in which they lived - ibid

We continue to assert that Judeo-Christianity is nothing more or less than a corruption of ancient solar theology. It has its roots in ancient astrology. The bible is a book of Astro-Theology. This Gnosis was in the keeping of the most ancient Druids but it later came into the keeping of those men who sought total control over the post-diluvian world reborn from the waters of chaos.

It is beyond question that the great ancient design of the zodiac is a wondrously conceived graph aimed to depict the structure of the Logos, the pattern or creative evolution, the essential constitution of the universe and the course of the current of life in the cosmos, and by analogy in man the microcosmic replica of the macrocosm…The uranograph, or chart of the skies, was incontestably the first of all Bibles, pictorially edited…it can be affirmed that all Bibles are but amplifications and elaborations of the original volume of ideography that was first written on the open slate of the sky, then charted in the zodiac and the planispheres carved on the ceilings of ancient temples and later transferred to earth and inscribed in scrolls, tablets and parchments. Man, adjured the old Scriptures, was to fashion his new body of spiritual glory "after the pattern of the heavens," the frame of the heavenly or zodiacal man, the primal Adam - Alvin Boyd Kuhn

The proof for our contention, that the bible is a remnant and rescripting of solar theocracy, is hidden in plain sight.

The Temple of Solomon (Sun and Moon) - a key motif in Masonic and Judaic Ritual. Tradition suggestively states that it was erected by a Phoenician known as Hiram Abiff. Polymath and master of the High Arts, Abiff is a fictive rendition of a Druid Magi

After all, there is a good reason why the word soul is a derivative of the word sol, meaning "sun," and why the name of the first king of the Israelites just happened to be Saul (Sol), and why the famed Temple of "Solomon" was named after an all-knowing king of the Jews whose name just happened to connote the sun and the moon. From the very inauguration of Christianity, the movement and position of the sun of god has been of paramount importance. It was on June 21 - the day of the summer solstice - that a total of 2,048 presbyters, deacons, sub-deacons, acolytes, and exorcists gathered at Nicea to decide what Christianity really was, what it would be, and what writings were to be used and who was to be its god. The tyrant Constantine commissioned this council and he imperiously presided over it throughout its duration.

Learned philosophers, writers, mathematicians and scientists filled the great library where the first translation of the Pentateuch (from Hebrew to Greek) the Septuagint (Latin for “the seventy”) was written - by seventy-two Jewish scholars imprisoned in a monastery under the instructions of the king - Maurice Cotterell (Jesus, King Arthur and the Journey of the Grail)

The Church - which began its career by destroying, distorting and denying the pagan sources from which it sprang; whose bishops and other ecclesiastics assassinated each other in their theological rancour "of wild beasts," which encouraged the wicked folly of the Crusades...and the shameful murders of the Manicheans, the Albigenses, and the Huguenots; which burned at the stake thousands and thousands of poor "witches" and "heretics," which has hardly ever spoken a generous word in favor or defense of the animals; which in modern times has supported vivisection as against the latter, Capitalism and Commercialism as against the poorer classes of mankind; and whose priests in the forms of its various sects, Greek or Catholic, Lutheran or Protestant, have in these last days rushed forth to urge the nations to slaughter each other with every diabolical device of Science, and to glorify the war-cry of Patriotism in defiance of the principle of universal Brotherhood - such a Church can hardly claim to have established the angelic character of its mission among mankind! - Edward Carpenter (Pagan and Christian Creeds, 1920)

Nowhere is Christianity less attractive…and less authoritative, than in the councils of the church…The degeneracy is rapid from the Council of Nicea (325 AD) to the first of Ephesus (431 AD), where each party came determined to use every means of haste, maneuver, court, influence, bribery, to crush his adversary - Dean Milman (The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire)

The Emperor then instructed Bishop Eusebius to compile a uniform collection of new writings ‘bound together as one’…Eusebius was to arrange for the production of ‘fifty sumptuous copies…to be written on parchment in a legible manner, and in a convenient portable form, by professional scribes thoroughly accomplished in their art’…’Make them to astonish,’ said Emperor Constantine…This was the first mention of finished copies of a Christian New Testament in the history of mankind...With his instruction now fulfilled, Emperor Constantine decreed that the new writings be thereafter called the ‘words of God’ and be attached…to copies of the Hebrew Old Testament. Emperor Vespasian, in the First Century, had proclaimed the entire Jewish territory the personal property of the Roman Emperors, and his decision was officially ratified by the Senate. In effect, all later Emperors were in control of the Jewish religion…Emperor Constantine effectively attempted to amalgamate the earlier Jewish religion with his new cult. By legal inheritance, he was also the messiah. After Eusebius had finished drawing upon the large array of presbyter’s texts, Constantine then ordered them destroyed by fire and ‘any man found concealing one should be stricken off from his shoulders (beheaded) - Tony Bushby (The Bible Fraud)

Throughout his life Constantine had been the chief of the Sol Invicta Cult. Like the Atonists of Egypt, the members of this order believed that the emperor was a living incarnation of the sun.

Constantine had been reared on the pagan religious belief of the Sol Invicta cult which identified the emperor as the incarnation of the Sun god...Initially, Constantine was a devout pagan - Michael Howard (Occult Conspiracy)

Prior to his conversion, Constantine’s favorite god, as reflected by his coins, was Sol, the sun god. Constantine continued to depict Sol on coins as late as 324A.D. The most common variety of coin showing Sol was a bronze follis, with Sol standing and a dedicatory inscription Soli Invicto comiti -“To the Invincible Sun, companion.” Constantine probably minted hundreds of thousands of coins for Sol after his “conversion” to Christianity… In the decade after the Mulvian Bridge victory, even gold coins, in which emperors usually took the most interest, still depicted Sol – Stanley A. Hudson (Tracing the Spread of Christianity Through Coins)

So it was neither an accident nor mere coincidence that Emperor Constantine planned his great Council of Nicea for the inauguration of a new state religion on the day when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky, a day venerated by sun-worshippers, solar cults, and priests, from the dawn of recorded time.

Since the building of Constantinople, and the removal of the seat of government to that city, no political quarrel separated Rome from Egypt. Pagan Rome, ever since the union of the two countries under Augustus, except when interrupted by the rebellions, had been eagerly copying the superstitions of Egypt, and Christian Rome still followed the same course - Samuel Sharpe (Egyptian Mythology and Egyptian Christianity)

And what does the sun do that is so vitally important? It gives off its own life force to ensure the survival of the Earth and all that exists upon it. It shines down its light to give forth this life. In the psyche of men, light has become the prime metaphor for knowledge and understanding as well as the symbol for sacrifice, renewal, and perfection.

back

Man awakes from the darkness of sleep in the morning at the first beams of light and he likewise arises ("Aries") to higher knowledge by way of the light. Men of knowledge were men of light. Their emblem was the sun. Their fellows were a brotherhood of light, and enlightenment was what they brought forth after their own awakenings. Light dispels the darkness synonymous with ignorance and debauch. And so light, like a weapon of sorts, is something to be respected and used aright. Its users and wielders, the Apollonian begetters and bestowers of light, were known in occult circles as "Lucifers." They were the sons of the golden morning or dawning, the sons of the sun - the Princes of Light. The earliest brotherhoods of the sun were to be found in Ireland and Egypt. The temples of Heliopolis, Giza, Memphis, and Thebes, were established largely by the priests of Amen Ra, one of Egypt's oldest gods and later, during the 18th dynasty, many were re-dedicated to the god Aton (or Aten). Aton's symbol was the sun disk with 14 emanating rays.

I thank thee, O Lord, for Thou, for Thou hast Enlightened me through Thy Truth. In Thy marvelous Mysteries...Thou hast granted me Knowledge - (Dead Sea Scrolls, The Hymns)

Krist is the glorious intelligence which the Persians call Mithras…his residence is the sun - Manichean Passage (Third Century Christian Sect)

His disciples said to Him: "Master, reveal to us the Mystery of the Light of Thy Father, since we have heard You say: 'There is still a Fire-baptism - the baptism of the Holy Spirit of Light...Tell us, therefore, the Mystery, so that we may inherit the Kingdom of Your Father - (The Pistis Sophia)

The bible's texts are replete with references to light, the sun, and the zodiac. The twelve signs of the zodiac are situated around the ecliptic, the heavenly “road” through which the sun (the light) passes during the days of a year. The word for god (deus, dios, dio, etc), gives us our English term day. This is the reason why the many cardinals in Rome (those surrounding the father pope) wear bright crimson garments. They represent the constellations receiving the luster and effulgence of the solar father. Terms of respect such as Dona or Don, meaning "mistress" or "mister," also derive from Adon or Aton, the sun god. Some biblical books contain passages that are obviously about the physical sun whilst others are more oblique. With the cultivation of a little symbolic literacy we can begin to comprehend what is really being referred to in even the most abstruse passages.

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men - (Matthew 16: 21-23)

And Moses rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel - (Exodus 24)

And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness (brightness) - (Exodus 24-10)

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning: It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times - (Matt 16:1-3)

My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill. He fenced it, cleared it of stone, and he planted it with grapevines. He built a watchtower on it and carved out a press. He waited: expecting grapes from it - (Isaiah 5)

I, Esdras, saw upon the Mount Sion a great people whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. And in the midst of them there was a young man of high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns...It is the Son of God - (Book of Esdras)

…The outer darkness is a great serpent, the tail of which is in its mouth, and it is outside the whole world, and surroundeth the whole world: in it there are many places of punishment, and it containeth twelve halls wherein severe punishment is inflicted. In each hall is a governor differing from that of his neighbor - Egyptian Passage (from E. A. Wallis Budge The Gods of the Egyptians, Vol. 1)

O, ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? - (Matt 16:3)

As for references to light, here are a few examples adding considerable proof to our over-arching theme. The reader is encouraged to find others just like these and to finally decide whether or not it is a solar theology or a biographical record of the deeds of historical entities.

Yahweh placed his Hand on me; then I looked and saw a great Spirit from the north; a great cloud surrounded by Light and flashing Fire...I was what looked like Fire - a radiant disc of Light - (Ezekiel 1:3-28)

For all who fear My Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall shine with healing in its rays - (Malachi 4:2)

In Thy Light we see the Light - (Psalms 36:9)

God is Light - (1 John 1:5)

Send forth Thy Light and Thy Truth to be my guide - (Psalms 43:3)

He makes the breath His messenger and flames of fire his ministers - (Psalms 104:4)

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light - (Isaiah 9:2)

Be ready to receive the rewards of My Kingdom; the perpetual Light which will shine in you for ever and ever - (2 Esdras or 4 Ezra 2:35)

The world's Luciferian enclaves, the meritocratic masonic secret societies, also make frequent use of the symbol of the sun and the metaphor of light as knowledge. They honor and observe the days of ritual importance on the solar calendar, hold secret meetings on specific dates, and pass on their arcane teachings in private convocations. Illustrious masonic initiates refer to themselves as "Princes of the Light." Both they and their lodges are, in our estimation, corrupt replications of the sun temples of the ancient world. Their choice of symbolism (both Druidic and Egyptian) leaves us with no doubt of this. As a result of their peculiar theological disposition masons generally allow all the world religions to play a part within their lodges. The three main religions are revered and regarded as equals. We say, naturally this is the case. It occurs because these masonic insiders know what laymen are not supposed to know, namely that religion is a solar theology and that the Sun Cult's chief hierophant and tutelary icon was not Moses, David, or Solomon, but Akhenaton - the Aton worshipping Pharaoh of Light (or "Lucifer").

Those born of Truth spring from the fountain of Light...All the children of Righteousness are ruled by the Prince of Light and walk in his ways - (Dead Sea Scrolls)

If thine eye be single, your whole body will be filled with Light - (Matthew 6:22)

There is no night there; no need for lamps or sunlight, for the Lord God is their Light - (Rev 22:5)

He is my Sun, and His rays have lifted me up; His Light has dispelled all darkness from my face - (Odes of Solomon, 15:12)

O alone-begotten of Light, I praise Thee; O Light unengendered, I praise Thee...O Gnosis of Light surpassing all knowledge, I praise Thee...O thou pure Light, surpassing all purity, I praise Thee...O thou only all-prefect Light, I praise Thee - (Gnosis of the Light: Codex Brucianus)

Christianity and Judaism are not, however, the only religions sworn to the adoration of light. This motif can be found existing the world over, from Ireland to Egypt to India. Almost every religious text contains solar leitmotifs. It was nothing new to Christianity.

The Persian sun-god Mithras bore the name of “Azon-Nakis” or “Lord of the Sun” - William Tyler Alcott (Sun Lore of All Ages)

Brahman is the light of the sun - (Vajasanayi Samhita)

First was Brahman born in the East. From the horizon the Gracious One appears in splendor; He illumines the forms of this world, the deepest, the highest, He is the cradle of what is and is not Father of the luminaries, begetter of the treasure, He entered many-formed into the spaces of the air. They glorify him with hymns of praise, Making the youth that is Brahman increase by Brahman. Brahman brought forth the gods, Brahman created the world - (Shatapatha Brahmana)

We have risen out of darkness, seeing the highest Light around us, going to the Sun,, the God among gods, the highest Light - (Hindu Rig Veda)

The Holy Fire shines forth with Heavenly Light, by His power He makes all things manifest - ibid

Holy Light! Illuminate the way for us - (Hindu Isa Upanishad)

I see the splendor of Your infinite beauty which illumines the whole universe...How difficult Thou art to see! But I see Thee; as Fire, as the Sun, blinding, immeasurable - (Hindu Bhagavad-Gita)

...the worship of Buddha is everywhere to be found...the king who rises in light and ascends the sky - Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, 1833)

Thou shinest there with Thy beams, O Thou great God. Osiris, the eternal Prince - (Egyptian Book of the Dead)

I have come to give Light in the darkness...I have opened the way - ibid

May the God of Light open His arms to me - ibid

Suddenly everything opened before me in a flash, and I beheld a limitless vision. Everything became Light, serene and joyful, and I was filled with Love from the vision...From this Light the Holy Word entered into nature, and pure Fire shot up from the moist nature into the height...That Light is I - the Divine Mind - your God - (Poimandres: The Corpus Hermeticum)

I shall reveal Righteousness so that you may be perfected and see the Light - (Zoroastrian Yasna 30:1)

I, Ahura Mazda, the Creator, will make his soul see the Joy of Paradise: boundless Light, unearned Felicity, and Eternal Bliss - (Zoroastrian Tahmuras Fragments)

First will appear, swifter than lightening, the Luminous Splendor of the colorless Light of Emptiness, which will surround you on all sides - (Tibetan Bardo Thodoi)

Believe then, in God and His Messenger, and in the Light which we have sent down (Moslem Koran 64:8)

The kindled Fire of God will raise up the hearts of men. It will enclose them on every side with great strength - (Koran 104:6-9)

And let us remember that Constantine changed the day of worship from what it had been before his time. Let's not forget which day of the week Christians were told to gather in their temples and churches to praise their gods of light - Sunday!
