Religion and the lies we call History, final installment

Beware!

                                               Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story

As we discussed, Religious resurgence happens at a time of political insecurity when people are haunted by the fear of their own destruction. As we all know, all over the world we are experiencing these fears today with war all over the world to one degree or the other. 

It is horrible what the Islamists are doing to the entire world. It is for this reason that Religion is experiencing a new lease on life among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, including the Religion of Atheism.

A personal God like Yahweh can be manipulated to shore up ones beleaguered emotions. When one conception of God has ceased to have meaning or relevance it has quietly been discarded and replaced with a new ideology.

 Each generation must choose the image of God that works for them. It is time that we realized, and settled on ours.

When we started researching this book, I was very disturbed to start hearing about all these different Gods that were believed in and prayed to. Like most of you I imagine, I was taught that there was a God and grew up believing that.

 I have read the Bible off and on over the years. In light of this it surprises me that for some reason these references to many different gods and goddesses have somehow gotten by me.

 Either that or because of the blinders you inevitably wear when you are looking at scripture through the eyes of any given religion. As a result you have a tendency to see things the way they portray them. 

Reading now with a totally unbiased viewpoint the Old Testament, the Chariots of the Gods, along with a History of God in all Religions, it tends to put an awful lot into perspective. Primarily I came to this conclusion; we as a people are lost.

 I can’t even fathom how we can read in the Bible of so many different Gods. We are told their names right in the Bible. We learn of the fact that many of them have been believed. 

We also find that many have been worshiped over the years. They have been worshiped by both the Christians and the Jews. This while all the time we keep being told of one God. Somehow we don’t seem to question this as we rightly should.

Let alone the fact, this is in the Bible too, that they were flying around in what is obviously some kind of space ship. They were also breeding with earth women all over the world. There were also goddesses who bred with earth men and then went back to the stars. 

I was really disgruntled to pick up the fact that Lot committed incest with both of his daughters. On top of that the Bible still calls earth the center of the universe when we know it isn’t.

We have learned that we must know our past. It’s got to be our true past. We must do this right now while we are trying to deal with the many problems in the world today. I believe that it will not only shed light on many unanswered questions. It will also aid in resolving the problems we are experiencing right now with the Islamists.

Since doing this and reading the Bible in conjunction with the Chariots of the Gods and the History of God. I can now understand how the Bible can continually reference many Gods without batting an eye or feeling the necessity to explain. 

* I for one believe there is much known that is being kept from us for one reason or the other. We have been visited from the heavens by many different Gods. This has happened at many different times, all over the world. That is why over the millennia man has had a choice of Gods to believe in. That is why the Gods were always killing off whole populations that didn’t agree with them. Beware!

Not who but what is God? Installment 8, Religion and the lies we call History

                                                    
                                               Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story

Continued from yesterdays  installment 7: These are items that have shown up virtually out of nowhere throughout ancient history .With incredible improvements inexplicably coming forth in technology and expertise.
Arch of the Covenant explained in the Bible is of special interest, anyway;

These have never been proven or adequately researched. Today we cannot reproduce some of these feats. To say God did it or the technology has been lost over time is no longer an adequate excuse. We have the technology now all we need is the collective desire to do the right thing.

I know it was suggested by Erich Von Daniken, but why don’t we test areas for radiation using special equipment, such as Tiahuanaco, Sacsahuaman, the Gobi desert, the legendary Sodom and Gomorrah area. I’m sure there are many others, or are we afraid of what we will find.

Cuneiform texts and tablets of Ur, (which, amongst all these other issues, I was able to find on line, so I know the information is available) are the oldest known books of mankind. They tell us without exception of Gods who rode in the heavens in ships.

 Even more disconcerting, is the story of Gods who came from the stars. They arrived possessing and displaying terrible weapons and then they just returned to space.

 I for one happen to believe these old books. I also believe in the true meanings in our Holy Scriptures. There can be nothing truer Just when are we going to be honest and face reality.

The subject of the Sumerians is quite questionable and interesting. However, we will talk about them only in regards to stars that they depicted in old tablets. The remarkable thing about these stars is that they were circled by planets.

 In Egypt and Iraq there were finds of cut crystal lenses that can only be made using cesium oxide. How did the Sumerians who lacked our ability to observe the heavens know that fixed stars had planets.

The remarkable thing to me about these ancient peoples is that they seemingly just showed up out of nowhere. No source that I have referenced including the dictionary can even identify these people. No one can even say where they came from. Let alone the fact that they brought with them technologies that still cannot be explained let alone understood or believed.

It is too much for coincidence that throughout ancient history, cultures kept cropping up with superior astronomical and building skills. This is too coincidental especially when they did not have any previous knowledge in these areas.

 In Lebanon there are glass like bits of rock called tektites, in which radioactive aluminum isotopes have been detected. Quite phenomenal to me was the discovery of electric dry batteries that work on the galvanic principle. They can be found at the Baghdad Museum. Let’s see them explain that one away.

There are many, many more unexplained impossibilities. Every one of them should make us curious and uneasy. We should be questioning what we have been fed for what appears to be misinformation for years.


*What I found disturbing was finding such things as the description of the Ark of the Covenant. In the Bible it was described as a truly wondrous thing that God gave meticulous instructions to have built. Only to say that when a man had touched it as God had told them not to do at all costs he would strike them dead, and did.

*This, and then to find out that if it was built today with the precise materials and methods listed in the Bible. What you have is an electrical conductor capable of discharging several hundred volts.

This amongst many scriptures that we have pointed out is in reality much too technically advanced and wide spread to just shrug off or dismiss as coincidence.

These unexplained items and events have made at least me, uneasy for years. Now at this important juncture of time, is the time to answer any and all unanswered questions. Our future might count on it.

 There are structures that whose history we study and revere, and we know that they were impossible to be made even today. Disregarding this we teach what is knowingly to experts, wrong.

 We do this just to give the people a history to believe in, this is wrong. We have got to correct our past right now. We must do this before we try and proceed any longer in the wrong direction.

Let us take a little time to cover some true facts directly from the Old Testament; this is of course, scripture followed by Christians and Jews. Some of these quotes you may find quite unsettling.

In Genesis 1:26 we learn that God said he was going to make man in his image after his image.
Genesis 6:1, 2 and it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men and they took them wives of all that they chose. Sounds like slavery to me.

 Genesis 6:4 there were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.

It’s small wonder that there were giants on the earth in those days. These Gods were said to be 18 feet tall. By the way, what are Gods sons doing taking earth women? I guess he never did say how he was going to make them in his image.

 I thought according to what we as Christians and Jews were taught, that there was only one God. We have some important questions and facts to work through. They have never been adequately delved into for many reasons and misguided excuses. At this important juncture in our lives as civilization it behooves us to find out the facts. We can then get the story of our past straight so we can move into the future in the right direction.
The story is taking shape. Installment 9 tomorrow!

Not who but what is God? Installment 7, Religion and the lies we call History

                                                    Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story


Continued from yesterdays  installment 6:   What would you say if there was an ancient calendar found that gave the equinoxes, astronomical seasons, the positions of the moon for every hour, also the movement of the moon, even going so far as to take the rotation of the earth into account.

This calendar exists and was found in the dry mud at Tiahuanaco. This is a city whose ruins are so ancient that when Francisco Pizarro questioned the Incas in 1532 about the ruins they said they were so ancient no one has any memory of seeing them when they weren’t in ruins.

 This is a disquieting find because it gives irrefutable facts and proves that whoever produced, devised, and more importantly to me, used this calendar had a much higher culture than ours.

Another amazing discovery was the great idol. This single block of red sandstone is longer than 24 feet and weighs 20 tons. It was found in the old temple.

 The contradiction here is between the superb quality and precision of hundreds of symbols that cover the idol in contrast to the primitive techniques used in making the building that houses it.

The symbols were given a closely reasoned interpretation in the book, “The Great Idol of Tiahuanaco”, by H. S. Bellamy and P. Allan. They concluded that the symbols record an enormous body of astronomical knowledge and are based, as a matter of fact, on a round earth.

They concluded that the record fits perfectly a theory published 5 years before the idol was even discovered.

This theory postulates that a satellite was captured by the earth. This does not mean that we physically captured a satellite that landed on the earth as you probably realize. But that it was pulled by the earth’s gravitational pull.
 
 As it was pulled towards the earth it slowed down the earths revolutions. The symbols on the idol exactly record the astronomical phenomena which back up this theory. This, at a time when the satellite was making 425 revolutions around the earth in a year of 288 days.

They were forced to conclude that the idol records the state of the heavens 27,000 years ago. The existence of such a sophisticated body of knowledge 27,000 years ago, demonstrated on both the idol and the calendar should be enough to make even the weak minded query.

There is just too much information here that man supposedly didn’t figure out for thousands more years.

One of the great Archaeological wonders of South America is the monolithic gate of the sun. This too is at Tiahuanaco. It is a giant sculpture standing nearly 10 feet high and 16 ½ feet wide carved out of a single block. The weight of this one block is more than 10 tons. There are 48 square figures in 3 rows flanking a being who represents a flying God.

That is the reason I am mentioning it here. It once again, now at the other end of the earth, tells of a golden spaceship that came from the stars. In it came a woman whose name was Oryana.

 She came to fulfill the task of becoming the great mother of the earth. Oryana had only four fingers that were webbed; she gave birth to 70 children then returned to the stars. To back this up, we do in fact find rock drawings of beings with four fingers.

Let’s talk a bit about another Inca wonder at Sacsahuaman. There were fantastic defense works there. They were only a few feet from present day Cuzco.

There are monolithic blocks weighing more than 100 tons. There are terrace walls more than 1,500 feet long and 54 feet wide. Believe it or not these feats are dwarfed by a quarried, finely worked, 20,000 ton stone block.

On the way back from the fortifications at Sacsahuaman in a crater on a mountainside just a few hundred yards away, the visitor comes across a monstrosity.

It is a single stone block the size of a four story house. It has been exquisitely crafted in the most craftsmen like way. It has steps and ramps and is adorned with holes and spirals. There can be no way the Incas themselves crafted this. We must remember that we are 13000 feet up. There is no way mere men could have accomplished this feat.

To make it even more impossible for the Incas to have worked this, the entire block is standing on its head. Still yet, not 900 yards away from this sight are more rock vitrifications, (melting of stone at high temperatures).

 We are told that this is because of glaciers. Yeh, a glacier melted and went in six different directions over an area of 18,000 square yards, let’s get real. Why is it that these rock vitrifications show up in one form or the other at every single ancient God mystery? Installment 8 tomorrow!

Not who but what is God? Installment 6, Religion and the lies we call History

                                                 Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story

Continued from yesterdays  installment 5:   How often have the pillars of our wisdom and beliefs been crumpled into dust? The sobering answer to this is that it happens all day every day. It is happening at an ever increasing rate due to our increased knowledge. The inaccuracies came about as a result of hurried misinformation and inadequate studies.

 At one time as we all know hundreds and hundreds of generations believed that the earth was flat or so we thought. We now know of civilizations spread around the world that in fact knew the earth was round thousands of years ago. His was at a point in time when it would have been impossible for man to know this.

What was once a concrete law that the sun revolved around the earth was believed to be true for thousands of years. We are still convinced that our earth is the center of all life. Even though it has been proven that the earth is just an ordinary relatively insignificant star in the big picture called the Universe.

 Even though we know for a fact that the earth is not the center of the universe religions continue to disregard this.

It is time for us to admit to our insignificance by adding to our fledgling discoveries in the vastly unexplored cosmos. Only then will we realize the real stature of man in the realm of the universe. Our future lies in the opportunities posed by the universe as the Gods promised they would. Why do you think they knew that? They were right but do you not wonder what was known that could not be told to the people?

The basic research for the rocket propulsion of tomorrow, with enough power to propel us well into a research of the cosmos, is well underway. Rocket motors of the future will be mainly powered by nuclear fusion. They will have the ability of travel nearly the speed of light. The fuel supplies will be transformed into electromagnetic radiation.

 They will then be ejected from the rocket as a clustered propulsive jet once the speed of light is approached. We can see these speeds as attainable. Particularly in light of the fact that we just approached 10 times the speed of sound. This was a physical impossibility even a few years ago.

A bold new method whose feasibility is already being tested and shown by physical experiments on actual individual elementary particles will be the photon rocket. Admittedly, this sounds so futuristic, but the future is here. It is up to us to take advantage of it to the fullest. We have the ability to learn as never before. We can save ourselves a lot of grief, and we are obligated to future generations to do so.

As we discussed, our historical past is a hodge podge of excavations and old writings, biased with naivety. Many of which we have to say, have been proven to be loaded with misinformation. However we continue to refer to and teach them as historical fact. We are still attempting to weave them into historical teachings and life today. Even though we know they are wrong instead of correcting them to what we now know of as facts.

Before we continue any further I want to give credit where it is due. The information we are talking about in regards to our past have come from a book, as I have said previously, that I first read more than 30 years ago. The book is Erich Von Danikens “Chariots of the Gods”. I encourage many of you, if interested, to get his books and read further on his subjects.

There is much information and speculation that we will not be covering. We are only interested in the facts as they relate to our past. We are only concerned with what relates to our current problems in society and the world. Ultimately we are concerned about our future survival.

 So, with this in mind it behooves us to get our past right. However, in the interest of learning knowing and practicing that which we know is true, we have to do this right. We must find out the facts first. We must do this before we too are guilty of knowingly spreading falsehoods and unknowns.

In 1929 ancient maps that belonged to a Turkish navy Admiral Piri Reis were found. They were found at the Topkapi Palace during renovations. Two atlases preserved in the Berlin State Library which contains exact reproductions of the Mediterranean and the region around the Dead Sea also came from Piri Reis.

All 3 maps were given to an American cartographer for examination. He confirmed the remarkable fact that all the Geographical data was present. He sought the help of a cartographer in the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Bureau. The men then constructed a grid and transferred the maps to a modern globe.

They made a sensational discovery. The maps were absolutely accurate. They were right not only in regards to the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The coasts of North and South America, and even the contours of the Antarctic were accurately shown. The maps not only reproduced the outlines of the continents. They also showed the topography of the interiors, mountain ranges and peaks, islands, rivers, plateaus, they were all drawn in with utter accuracy.

In 1957 the maps were given to Jesuit Father Lineham who again, was a Cartographer in the U.S. Navy. After extensive testing he too could only confirm that the maps were amazingly accurate. What is more is the fact that we did not even discover these mountain ranges until 1952.

This was because they were covered with ice. So our maps were drawn with the use of echo sounding gear. The latest studies done by Professor Charles Hapgood and Mathematician Richard Strachan give us even more earth shattering information. A comparison with modern photographs of the earth taken from satellites show us that the Piri Reis maps had to be taken aerially and from a very great height, how.

Just in regards to copies of his maps in Germany one has to ask how they got there in the first place and when. Also you have to think that if any one country at that time had that kind of information and knew what to do with it would rule the world. The information was obviously over their head and they did not have the where with all to do anything about it if it wasn’t. Germany at least knew this information at a point in their history where it would have been very beneficial to use had they known what to do with it. Installment 7 tomorrow!

Who is God: Installment 5 of Religion and lies we call history

                                       
                                              Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story           


Continued from yesterdays  installment 4:   I know that like these philosophers, I am not the only one that believes man is just a minute life form on this earth. We simply play the same role as other, even smaller or larger forms of life. In turn, everything that lives on this planet is merely a part of the life of the planet. The planet in turn is part of the universe as a whole. The big problem with man is that he has a brain and often fails to use it.

This brain, (mind) is what separates us from all other life forms on this planet. It is precisely the brain, which is turning out to be our biggest problem to ourselves. Man often feels superior to all other living things. He feels it is up to him to do as he will with whatever he wants.

 This really scares me. I have always felt that if life on this planet, in any form, is dependent on man for survival, it is doomed. Man has shown that he can’t even manage himself. Give them a right and they’ll make it a wrong. Ever hear of that one? Sadly enough that seems to apply to man as a whole. It is a frightening thought when you look at our track record.

We are now the keepers of the World and that is not a good thing. Man does not have the capability to manage his own life, forget about the planet. I always said that once something is depending on man for life, it’s all done. Man as a whole does not know how to do the right thing without letting their own idiocies get in the way.
 They do not seem to be able to do the right thing for themselves let alone for anything else. With that in mind, it reminds me of something I heard Jane Goodal say the other night. She made this statement while at a meeting on the condition of the planet. She just said that we messed it up. We made a mess of things, I agree, yes we have. Despite this it is not too late. We can do this, but we need the best of every field, all over the world. We can beat this.

We were given a brain in order to make up for our lack of physical prowess, and strength. This was in order to enable us to survive in a very hostile, wild environment that was life on planet earth. Now we no longer have to concern ourselves with surviving the might of fellow creatures. As a result we have turned our energies exclusively on each other.

 This can, and will, turn out only one way. Maybe that was the purpose of man in the first place. Maybe his role is just a way to bring the planet full circle in its life process. If not, we better get our collective selves together because that is exactly what is going to happen.

The very fact that we do have a brain is what makes it necessary for us to understand in varying degrees, of life and mans role in it. Our brain gives birth, and necessity, to various Religions and various beliefs. Being of one Religion or the other, or for that matter, none at all, makes you no better or worse than anyone else. Your psyche just needs a little more information, and understanding. This is for you to realize and understand your role on earth and the universe.

Speaking about mans mind and ancient philosophers, just seems to naturally flow into a discussion on Kabbalah. Which as many of us know, is practiced by many in Hollywood. When the Jews were first under the Islamic empire there was no anti-Semitism or Religious persecution. As a result there was no need for mysticism. As the Muslim situation and Religion developed and evolved however, this changed. Once again, religion has evolved as a response to external conditions. This is the same thing that is happening once again today.
Kabbalists began to give their God a mystical appeal. Both the Muslims and Christians also found this necessary, in response to Judaism. This discipline of mysticism was handed down from mystic to disciple and was called Kabbalah. Kabbalah literally stands for “inherited tradition”.

The God of the Mystics was able to reach, and touch, fears and anxieties differently than those that are philosophically explained away. Kabbalah, as we mentioned, is known to most of us only because Hollywood stars practice it. It is practiced as a means of dealing with the increased stresses that come with a Hollywood life.

Kabbalists try to penetrate the inner God They attempt to penetrate their inner anxieties. They do this instead of speculating rationally about the nature of God and the universe. They attempt to alleviate the problems in his relationship with the world. In this attempt Kabbalists have turned to their inner self, their imagination.

Kabbalists, like virtually everyone else on the planet, regardless of Religion or lack there of, believe that God or his spirit exists in everything. There is one glaring, obvious, exception, “the Islamists”. They hold nothing sacred, and will destroy anything and everything.

 Virtually everyone else believes that god, and, or, his spirit are in everything that exists. Having these thoughts in mind, this tells you without a doubt, that the Islamists, with their wanton destruction of life and nature, are in fact, against God himself.

Let us briefly discuss the important roles of polish astronomer, Nicolas Copernicus, (1473-1543), and Italian scientist, philosopher, and inventor of the telescope, (1613), Galileo, (1564-1642).

What absolutely astounds me about these two men is that one, Copernicus in 1530, had completed his studies on the universe. He then declared to the civilized world that the sun was the center of the universe. And two, this was almost 85 years before Galileo had even invented the telescope. This is positively amazing. How on earth could anyone possibly have known that?

We will be getting to that in depth real soon. We will just remember for now, that he was around at a time a lot closer to when the Gods were known to have visited earth. As we discussed, you have to wonder, what ancient documents were around to reference.
Needless to say, that as a result of Copernicus claim, his treatise was put on a list of books forbidden to be read by Catholics. Poor Galileo, as a result of his assertion that Copernicus was correct in his assumption, was immediately summoned before an inquisition. He was immediately commanded to retract his scientific creed. As a result he was ultimately sentenced to indefinite imprisonment.

The Roman Catholic Church was instantly opposed to any change in their doctrine. This was the same as any other institution during this period when conservatism ruled the day. What did make the church different was that it had the power to enforce its will, and did. At this point the Roman Catholic Church was a well oiled, smoothly running machine. They were terribly efficient at imposing intellectual conformity.

Inevitably, the condemnation of Galileo inhibited further scientific studies of many outstanding scientists. We can be sure that was their goal. The Roman Catholic Church however did not condemn his theory because it endangered belief in God the creator. They condemned it because it contradicted the word of God according to scripture. It didn’t matter that he was right, hmmm.

This once again, has to lead us to question the Bible, Torah, and Koran. Specifically for the reason that they were written when we did not know many of the facts we now know. Scriptures say that heaven and the earth were created for the benefit of man.

 How could this be, if as Galileo claimed, and of course it is fact, that the earth was just another planet revolving around the sun. Heaven and Hell were regarded as real places. Today, as many even then thought, we know them as the heavens and the core of the earth. Many occurrences that have been proven to be natural, in the Bible are credited to God.

 We have to correct all doctrine to reflect the facts as we have grown to learn them. We must if for no other reason than to stop any confusion, misunderstanding, or redundancy.

There is a tremendous amount of what were once unexplained phenomena, misguided theory, and just plain old misconceptions that at one time were acceptable. Today, an awful lot of past events and inexplicable artifacts are no longer shrouded in mystery. They have been proven as facts.

 They have been proven and some of us agree, some of us will not. There are an awful lot of inconsistencies in our recollection of ancient history. Our archaeology leaves tremendous unanswered questions. Our Religious scriptures are no longer considered accurate. This is due to recent proven facts.

Our understandings have been matured. Also new scientific discoveries have disproven old beliefs often unambiguous and overly rife with mysticism.

There is much that is inconsistent with our archaeology. One reason is that we find electric batteries many thousands of years old. We also find strange beings in perfect space suits with platinum fasteners. We have found numbers not even registered by our computers, 15 digits, can you believe it? Just how did early man achieve this? There are just too many holes in the fabric of our history. We have the technology and the ability to fill them and must. We need only now, the collective desire to do so.

Let’s get used to the idea that the world of facts as we were taught them, are now known to be incorrect. The knowledge we have grown up with for years, was full of supposition and theory. It is going to collapse in time.
As we already talked about, there are too many inconsistencies with our religious scriptures. Every Religion promises help and salvation to man, just as the Gods did. Why did the ancient Gods use ultra-modern weapons to annihilate harmless, primitive people? Why did the Gods plan to destroy whole populations, and indeed did do this?
Knowledge that has been hidden in the secret libraries of secret societies for centuries are being rediscovered. The age of space travel which severely encumbered ancient mans comprehension of events, is no longer a secret.

 Gods, Kings, priests, heroes, ancient villains, we must revisit all of them and force them to give up their secrets. We now have the ability to figure out all these secrets. We can now find out all about the past. We have the ability to leave no gaps. We have the ability to leave no guess work and we must.

Archaeologists to me are invaluable. Their work must be enhanced by the use of hypersensitive equipment designed to detect what we cannot perceive. We must once again revisit any questionable archeological site with ultra sensitive equipment and measuring devices.

 Priests who seek the truth in all Religions must once again question and doubt everything that is established. We must put it to the test. We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to our past, and we owe it to our future.

The Gods that have visited Moses, Abraham, and other parts of the world, have left behind many trails.
 These trails today can be tracked and correctly deciphered. We do know our past and what we have been teaching for centuries is not at least 100% correct.

 Today, space travel has become so much a part of our every day life. It was completely alien to our ancestors. However, it was a reality to the Gods of yesteryear.

The Sanskrit scholar Dr. Dileep Kumar Kanjilal, professor of Sanskrit and Indology at the Sanskrit College of Calcutta at least to my knowledge, was the first scholar to publicly say that, “It can be doubtlessly proven from old Indic texts that the earth had been visited and influenced by extraterrestrials in remotest antiquity. This has been proven beyond doubt and we will go on to show and prove it. Installment 6 tomorrow!

Religion and other lies we call History: Installment 4

                                     
                                                 Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story
 
 Continued from yesterdays  installment 3: They’re getting it; they are putting it all together. I hope you have all been thinking, rethinking, and contemplating, this entire discussion. This is all so right on. Believers in Plato did not need barbaric tales of a God. A God, who all of a sudden, would decide to create our world, was not needed.

 They felt no need for someone who would decide to destroy his own creation. They had no need for someone who ignored established rule in order to communicate directly with a specific group of people. This, as we know, did occur with the Jews.

 It makes no sense at all that an all loving, understanding God, would appear to just one people. It makes no sense that he would appear under the conditions that he did. It makes no sense that a loving forgiving God would annihilate whole peoples he did not like. That is, unless there was an underlying reason for these actions, and there was.

I know the answer as do millions of you who have read some enlightened literature on the subject. You will be enlightened, and know the objective truth about, oh, so much.

Intellectual and spiritual thinkers have confronted their ignorance in the understanding of God, Religion, and the universe. They did not have all that I do now, available to me. They did not have the luxury of peace and time to really dwell on these subjects, in an untethered atmosphere.


Any person that taught anything other than church accepted doctrine, was as we know, risking life and limb. I just had another interesting thought in regards to ancient philosophers, thinkers, and life theorists.

They were luckier than us today in the respect that their lives were lived at a time a lot closer to the actual visits of the Gods. They were lucky to be around at the time of the one God, the God of Moses and Abraham.

 This of course, is Yahweh, the one true God worshiped by Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Do you think that the documents that were most probably still around in prestigious libraries influenced their way of thinking?
Do you think they were influenced by the rumors and innuendos that were still floating around?

Philo, who we talked about a little earlier, was a Jewish philosopher. He was around about 350 years before the time Christ was born. He took Plato’s beliefs yet another step further. He imagined that God had devised a master plan of creation.

This master plan of creation corresponded with Plato’s way of thinking. It corresponded with his theory of the realm of the forms. He believed that they in turn would be incarnated into what we know is the physical universe.

Philo described a passionate, joyful, voyage into the unknown. This in turn brought him freedom and creative energy. Like Plato, he saw the soul as an exile that was until death, trapped in the human body, and the physical world.

 Upon death, the soul would ascend to God, its true home. It would leave behind the human senses. He believed this because these are what bind us to the imperfect physical world. Installment 5 tomorrow!

Religion and other lies we call History: Installment 3

Religion the big lie

                                          
                                              Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story

Continued from yesterdays  installment 2:   We have to have people who know right from wrong. We need people who do the right thing. They should do the right thing not for them, but the right thing for their fellow man.

I finally have everything worked out, and I can’t believe no one has put everything together before this. It is particularly disconcerting that our leaders and the experts don’t have a clue. It is time for common sense, common sense derived from being a commoner. Common sense comes from living in the trenches of life, not of being middle or upper class. You have to be able to relate with the underclass of any country or Religion. So by definition I guess, you have to be there, or come from there.

I will tell you unequivocally that this is not theory. This is 100% fact. No matter what your religious beliefs are, you to will see the facts, and believe. However incomplete, hold onto your faith because it is true and necessary.

As I was saying earlier, when I started doing the research to give credence to, and back up my thought process, and theories. I was absolutely astounded to find that every great philosopher, astronomer, and thinking man, in the history of the civilized world has to a smaller, or larger, degree, agreed with me.

 They had hit the nail on the head. However they never had the opportunity to put the whole story together. As to God, life, the planet, the universe, and mans origin and role in all this.

These men have all been ostracized for their beliefs. They were loathed. They were thought of as atheists. They were imprisoned and yes, even killed. All this for corrupting the minds of the youth, as happened in Socrates case.

Socrates too, was a thinking man. He saw thought as a process of recollection. Something we had always known, but had just forgotten. Aristotle was the first to see the importance of logical reasoning. This attribute is something that is very important and very rare today indeed.

Aristotle was convinced that it was possible to arrive at an understanding of the universe by applying the principle of logical reasoning. This is absolutely true, but in my case it took both, logical and inductive reasoning. He also, as many of us do, had an acute understanding of Religion, and mythology. He believed we were one.

 One and the same with nature, God, and the universe so beautiful and so true. Take all you know and are learning now, and take some time to stop and think about it, put it all into perspective.

Carrying it further, Plato, like Aristotle, another great Greek philosopher, sometimes defended Socrates and sometimes had his own ideas. He carried Socrates beliefs even further. He was getting even closer to the whole picture.

Plato, like Socrates, had also been Religious about his philosophy. They found that their scientific and speculative reasoning had inspired them with a vision of the full glory of the universe, don’t you just love it. Plato’s beliefs would help him to realize his true self. This happened by freeing his soul from his body and enabling him to ascend to the divine world.

He believed the one true God is from where all existence was derived from because of its pure being. He believed that the eternal aspects of our universe came from the one God. This in turn animated the sun, the moon, and the star. Thus, this put each of these in their perspective alignments, interesting. Installment 4 tomorrow

Religion and other lies we call History, Installment 1

Religion

         Chapter 4 & 5 of Life today the Real Story

Save every installment and you will have the complete story of Religion and other lies we call History: We are so fond of saying in regards to the horrors of war and annihilation, that we must not forget History or we are doomed to repeat it. 

So too, we must in kind, remember the History of personal sacrifice. We must remember what worked in our ultimate march to victory. We must remember what it took from every citizen to persevere. If we do not we are doomed to failure.

Before we go on to other problems and insights, the thoughts of one more person deserves note. During the 14^th century there was an explosion of mystics. One of particular interest, in light of what we are experiencing today, is from Germany.

Meister Eckhart, (1260-1327), was a Dominican friar. He was also a brilliant intellectual that lectured on Aristotle’s philosophies at the University of Paris.

 In 1325 however, his teachings brought him into conflict with the Archbishop of Cologne. The Archbishop to no ones surprise at the time had him arraigned for heresy.

 He was charged with denying the goodness of God. He was also charged with teaching that God was born in the soul as many famous philosophers believed. They were particularly bothered by the fact that he was teaching about the eternity of the world. 

Meister Eckhart was a poet and completely enjoyed paradox, and metaphor. While he believed that it was right and rational to believe in God, he denied that reason alone could form any adequate explanation of Devine nature makes sense huh.

The final proof of a knowable thing is made through either the senses or through the intellect. As far as God is concerned, there is neither sensory nor intellectual perception.

 This is because he lacks, even according to all known scripture, any form known to us. God was not a being whose existence could be proved, like any other object known to man. 

Therefore, declared Eckhart, he was nothing, Whoa. Oddly enough, that is the final feeling of every believer and non believer, think about it. All 3 of the great Religions in the end, leave it up to you.

 This is precisely because no one has ever seen him. None of the 3 is even allowed to depict, or name him, Sooooo? To be continued tomorrow!
