Chapter Seven, Death And Resurrection, Sacrifice And Atonement

Quite frankly, I have never been able to make sense out of the doctrine of Atonement. That doctrine which asserts that the death of a Demigod on a cross two thousand years ago, is payment for our sins. Does that mean that the adultery, theft, or murder committed by Mary, Leo, or John whomsoever has already been paid for, by Jesus dying on the cross? If that be the case , is the punishment for all sin death? Would I be facing death, if not for the sacrifice of Jesus, for the candy I stole when I was six years old? And what about the millions of Victims of sinners, whose lives have been cruelly cut short, or ruined with the lost of Love Ones, Property, Suffering , Mutilation and Handicaps. What say do they have in this forgiveness of the sinners.

And are we, the  worthless sinners, destined to spend an eternity burning in Hell, if not for the sacrifice of Jesus.  Or , by the Atonement of Christ, we gain entrance into Heaven, and the opportunity to spend eternity in a state of righteousness. Just sitting around or flying around heaven or wherever for eternity. I don’t mean to ridicule anyone’s belief, but Both Heaven and Hell sound like Hell to me.

Origin Of The Concept Of Heaven

The origin of the popular concept of Heaven is easily identifiable. It evolved from the original scientific, astronomical mythology. Ancient Mythology was the rendering of scientific astronomy in a mythological format. Mythology symbolizes the movements of the heavenly bodies within the cosmos. Astronomy deals with charting the cycles of all the entities within the cosmos. The Prophecy that prevails in Mythology and religion is a result of this charting. Of course a Prophecy, when delivered in a personified religious format, seems to be the miraculous foretelling of human events. But, in it’s Original form, the Prophecy did not pertain to future human activity. The Prophecy pertained to the future movements of celestial entities.

I often refer to Astrology/Mythology as Scientific, because it is absolutely that. Astrology/Mythology is based on the Science of Astronomy. To clarify my point, let us now define Science. Science Begins with Observation. The scientists seek to detect patterns , laws, and cycles in that which is being observed. In this case, the Starry Heavens.  Secondly , the Scientists Records the patterns , laws, and cycles that they have successfully detected , from their initial observations. Thirdly, the scientists renew their observations, and compare the results of their continued studies with the records of their past observations. When the scientists are successful , in their attempts to identify consistently repetitive cycles, they then, on this basis, record their conclusions as to scientific facts.

This registry of scientific conclusions then serves as a model by which scientists can accurately predict the recurrence of certain events based on their records of established cycles. The ancient Astronomers consequently wrote predictions as to future motions within the cosmos based on their recorded observations. Since the Astronomers/Astrologers used a mythological format to record their findings, their predictions of future cycles were transformed into the Prophecies of the Deities, their future conquests, intrigues, wars, and defeats.

So when Religion evolved from mythology, the chain continued. The Predictions of the scientific Astronomers (Astrologers/Mathematicians), that became the Oracles of Fabled Deities, when recorded under mythological headings, continued as the Prophecies of Messengers from God, in their Religious Format.

The  credos , cultural and moral values within religion were evolved from scientific mythology also. The original mythology was astronomy rendered as Myth. Evil or Good, Moral or Immoral are not scientific concepts. But Society Can not sustain itself as a cohesive and organized unit, without a common Belief basis. The Sages recognized this. They formulated their religious tenets to correspond and parallel mythological science(Astronomy). In other words, they established  the House of Religion on top of a Foundation of Esoteric Truth. This Esoteric Truth, when taken literally, is pure idiocy. But , they had little respect for the intellect of the common people. Through this system of esoteric symbolism, they preserved their Gnosis, and in tandem provided general society with a belief system , that worked.

The original astronomical(mythological) data base dealt with the eternally conflicting forces of Darkness/netherworld(southern hemisphere) and the forces of Light/ Paradise(northern hemisphere). Physical Nature is not capable of distinguishing morality or immorality, right or wrong, good or bad. Nature is Driven by the Laws of Instinct, Gravity, Energy and Matter, and it’s interactions. No morality is involved here. The universe is, without doubt, managed by natural law, which does not waver for any non-lawful reason.

The Human Being, in that He is part Matter(physical instinctive nature) and part spirit(Metaphysical nature), is also, like the opposing forces of universal nature, constantly at war(conflict) within Himself. Religion tends to balance this eternal and internal moral conflict, within the Human species.

The Evolution  from astronomy to Religion was done by adapting  religious correlations to the opposing spheres(the region below the equinoxes verses the region above the equinoxes)  of natural contention. The forces of the northern hemisphere , in their religious parallels, represented the positive spiritual natures. The Forces of the Southern Hemisphere represented the negative instinctive natures. The Never Ending War of the Sun(Light) to overcome or destroy darkness , in it’s Religious Parallels, became the Never Ending Struggle of Man’s Spiritual Nature to Dominate his Carnal(beastly) Nature.

Under it’s Religious applications, Mythology made the following morally linked transformations - The Darkness of the underworld , in it’s religious context, became The Region of Death, Evil, and Matter(Materialism). The Light of the upperworld became the Region of Life(everlasting), Goodness, and  the Divine Spirits.

The Lord of the Underworld became an opposing Devil, a Seducer, an accuser. He was Evil, just for the sake of being evil. The Devil wanted God’s creation(humanity) to serve Him(the devil). The devil(from the mythological underworld, now rendered Hades(hell) in it’s religious context) became the Tempting spirit that encouraged mankind to give in to their Carnal Nature. The Devil became the opponent to morality. The devil was an advocate of licentiousness, materialism, and hedonism, the consequences of which, are Death.

The Vernal Equinox(in it’s religious application) now became an entrance way, a Gate to Paradise(Heaven). The subjects passage from the lower world(world of matter) to the upper world(spiritual world) was not guaranteed. The Subject now had to qualify, he had to be Judged. Did he give in to the Evils of the underworld, or did he remain faithful to the Lord of Light(Good)? His Fate weighed in the Balance. Satan was the Accuser of the Subject, because he wanted to keep his victim in Hell, or send his Victim to the lowest regions of hell(Capricorn) into his Pit.

The heavenly region above the equinoxes was viewed as a land of delights, A verdant Garden(of Eden). In some cases the region was viewed as filled with Heavenly Angels nourished with Sweet Milk and Honey.

Exo 3:8  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Ezek 20:15  Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

The Sages described heaven as having Honey, because of An Asterism located within the Sector of Cancer, which is the Highest Point of the Sun’s northerly journey. This Asterism is Known as the Beehive(A storehouse of Honey).

They described the heavens as flowing with Milk, because of the celestial river that flows from the celestial Polar Regions outward in two branches. They called this Nourishing river ,The Milky Way.

Christ Resurrection And Easter

The Resurrection of Christ and his sonship to god are alleged to be the aspects of the Christian faith that sets it apart from all other beliefs. This, of course, is not true as Mythological history shows scores(if not hundreds) of resurrections, and Demigods in it’s tales.

For your information, Read the book -  The Golden Bough,  by Sir James George Frazer. This book contains a Huge amount of information on the festivals of ancient cultures. He has documented, in striking details, the ceremonies of various ancient tribes that regularly celebrated the Deaths and Resurrections of Tribal Gods. The details, in many instances, are in direct correspondence to the Death and Resurrection of the Christian Savior.

In fact, according to the bible, there was a multitude, perhaps hundreds , if not thousands , that were alleged to have been resurrected with Christ. See the following verses,

Mat 27:50  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.Mat 27:51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;Mat 27:52  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,Mat 27:53  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Can you imagine All of these walking Dead, and there is not one smidgen of Secular history to confirm it. Two thousand years ago was not Pre-history. We have records of  their politics, commerce, even inheritance and divorce matters, but nothing is mentioned, outside of the bible, about the stupendous event described in the biblical verses just quoted.

There are two Major Mythological, Astronomical Fables that have been foisted off on the general public as historical. Namely, The Enslavement Of Israel In Egypt and The Biblical History Of Jesus Christ.

We have an abundance of historical information on Egypt, and the enslavement of the Israelite people is not mentioned. It never happened in actual history. And as for those historians, who are attempting to piece together secular historical information, that could possibly pertain to a historical Israel or Jesus - they are groping and grasping at straws in the wind.

Think of it! How could events that carry the Magnitude of a Historical Jesus or Israel be reduced to Relics of history and Bits and Pieces of Evidence, while other mundane commonplace events from thousands of  years ago were witnessed and recorded, and now stand Boldly in our face, as historically verifiable.

The answer is that both Israel and Jesus are Non-historical, but rather are symbolical representations of Astronomical Mythology.

The Resurrection of Christ at Easter(the vernal equinox) does not accurately reflect the Solar Mythology. The actual solar death and resurrection takes place at the Winter Solstice.

The Crucifixion of Christ on a Friday and his resurrection on an Sunday (Easter) morning, can not be equated to three days in the grave. This reflects Lunar mythology rather than Solar mythology.

The Lunar mythological cycles vary from the Solar cycles. The Death and Resurrection of the Moon does take place in two days. The cycle of the moon around the earth is measured as a sidereal month(about 28 days) and as a synodic month(about 30 days). The sidereal month is the shorter of the cycles at less than 28 days. The sidereal month represents the time it takes the moon to revolve around the earth, relative to a distant star as the marker. The synodic month measures the revolution relative to the repeated alignment of the moon, earth, and sun, either at the Full moon or the new moon.

The Moon becomes invisible(dies, is buried, or killed, or sheds it’s blood) after 28 days into its revolution. When it passes between the earth and the sun, it can not be seen because of the intense light of the sun. The moon travels about thirteen degrees a day, so there is a span(the moon’s path between the earth and sun) of about 27 degrees(2 days), whereas it’s light is indistinguishable. When the moon reemerges as a sliver of light known as the New Moon, it has been Mythologically Resurrected, Hence this Resurrection of Christ described by the Easter ceremony is clearly Lunar mythology. The Death of Jesus on a Good Friday to a Resurrection on a Sunday Morning is one and a half or two days. This corresponds exactly to the death of the old moon and the birth of the new moon.

Christ’s Resurrection At the Winter Solstice

The actual Resurrection that the Biblical Editors refered to in the bible occurs at the winter solstice. See the following biblical verses,

Mat 27:33  And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,Mat 27:34  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.Mat 27:35  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.*         Mat 27:38  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.*         Mat 27:62  Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,Mat 27:63  Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.Mat 27:64  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.*         Mat 28:1  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.Mat 28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.Mat 28:3  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:Mat 28:4  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.Mat 28:5  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.Mat 28:6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

The interpretation of these verses is as follows - Golgotha is the location of the crucifixion and as such represents the Winter solstice. The word Golgotha and Capricorn share the same definition, as a term that refers to Skulls, Death. The Winter Solstice is symbolized by the terms Golgotha, Capricorn, Hades, Pit, Calvary, Hell, Bottomless Pit, Cave, Grave, Graveyard and other terms.

As explained earlier, the three days that Christ spent in the Grave refer to the three days period of Solstice. The sun, after it reaches it’s lowest point of declination, on December  22, Hesitates in Place for three days, before re-ascending northward toward the vernal equinox. The Priest symbolized this three day period of solstice as being buried in the Grave for three days.

The Crucifixion of Christ, On The Cross, refers to the Cross in the Constellation of Cygnus(the Swan) which lies in the same sector with Capricorn.

The Two Thieves that are crucified with the Savior(Sun) refer to the Equinoxes. The one on the Right Hand is the Vernal Equinox. The one on the Left Hand(who bad mouthed the savior) is the Autumnal Equinox. The Equinoxes are refered to as thieves, because they are thieves of time. They still Time from each other. When the Sun intersects either equinox, for that day of crossing, Time(Daytime and Nighttime) on the planet is brought into equilibrium, at twelve hours. We have twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness, on the day of the Equinox. In the case of the Vernal Equinox(which represents light), He,  on the second day after the sun’s crossing, Steals Time from the Autumnal Equinox(which represents darkness) and from this point,  the world continues to have more light(daytime) than darkness, until the Sun crosses the Autumnal Equinox. When the Sun crosses the Autumnal Equinox, this thief(autumnal equinox) repeats the crime(theft of time) in the favor of increased Darkness.

The Sacrifice

There are two major definitions to the word, Sacrifice, that apply to our subject matter. On one side,a Sacrifice is a propitiation to a Deity, as an atonement or as a sign of Homage to that Deity. On the other side a Sacrifice is a Forfeiture, whereas one gives up something to Another. The Relinquishing of a Right or Position, or a Possession is a Sacrifice.

The Editors of the bible have inserted many, many references to Sacrifice as a form of Atonement. So this form of Sacrifice must be held as significant. However the thrust of my definition does not deal with Atonement. The bible also contains references to sacrifice as the Relinquishing, or Forfeiture of something. My definitions of the term are based on this aspect of Forfeiture, which is clearly Mythological(based on Gnostic symbolism). The Atonement aspect, seems to me , to be more culturally and religiously based, rather than Mythological.

Witness the bible verse below,

John 16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The preceding biblical verse, attributed to Jesus, represents a Form of Sacrifice(forfeiture, Relinquishing of Position or Station). He is telling his followers that a New Comforter(Lord) can not make himself known so long as He(Jesus) is on the scene.

Anthropological Studies inform us that among some ancient tribes, the succession of Kingship, was sometimes accomplished by a deadly ritual. That is , when a Kings Term(Cycle) had ended, the King was ritually Killed(Sacrificed), in order to make way for his successor.

This cultural attitude is linked with the symbolism that was sometimes used by the Ancient Priesthood, to symbolize the Transition of Kingship at the Winter Solstice. The death of the Old King(Sun) on December 22, was looked upon as a Sacrifice to make way for the New King of Glory(Sun), to be born on December 25.

This is the most correct meaning for the symbolism of the term Sacrifice, that is the Sacrifice represented the Transition of Rulership(from old Sun to new sun, in that three day period of December 22 to December 25). Of course, any transition can be interpreted as a  Sacrifice, when it involves the destruction(Sacrifice) of the prior entity. However, I was able to find a few verses in the bible, that link the Three with the Sacrifice. The Three is important. Astrological Symbolism can only be interpreted, by the use of mathematics. In fact, astrologers were originally called mathematicians. The term astrologer evolved latter.

These biblical verses Link the Three(of the Winter Solstice) with the Term Sacrifice,

*          Exo 3:18  And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.*         Exo 5:3  And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.*         Exo 8:27  We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.*         Gen 22:2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.Gen 22:4  Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

I have highlighted the references to Three in the biblical verses just quoted. We know that the three is intimately connected with the symbolism of the Winter Solstice.

In each of the verses above, the Editors added the Three in order to indicate the symbolism of the Solstice. The Three is not essential to the completeness of those verses, except as an esoteric Indicator(sign). The Three points to the Winter Solstice as the Place of the Sacrifice. Without a doubt, the transitions(Passover) at the equinoxes have significance as a form of Sacrifice, but I think the importance of the Sacrifice, at the winter solstice has been overlooked.

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM "THE ASTROLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF THE CHRIST MYTH, BOOK THREE"   - THE INTRODUCTION

Introduction

A Guide to The Purposes And Focus Of This Book

What is the True Meaning and Purpose of biblical scriptures?

My goal in writing “The Astrological Foundation Of The Christ Myth, Book Three” is to answer and prove the answer to the aforementioned question. I have already explained in Books One and Two that Religion is the evolutionary child of Astronomy, Astrology and Myth.

In Book Three, we shall go to great lengths to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that this hypothesis is completely accurate and provable. I have stated that Religious Scripture is actually a Registry of astronomical phenomena in a mythological format. Astronomy is a science and as such, is subject to scientific means of proof and deduction.

Witness my quote from Book Two:

“Ancient Mythology was the rendering of scientific astronomy in a mythological format. Mythology symbolizes the movements of the heavenly bodies within the cosmos. Astronomy deals with charting the cycles of all the entities within the cosmos. The Prophecy that prevails in Mythology and religion is a result of this charting. Of course a Prophecy, when delivered in a personified religious format, seems to be the miraculous foretelling of human events. But, in it’s Original form; the Prophecy did not pertain to future human activity. The Prophecy pertained to the future movements of celestial entities.

I often refer to Astrology/Mythology as Scientific, because it is absolutely that. Astrology/Mythology is based on the Science of Astronomy. To clarify my point, let us now define Science. Science Begins with Observation. The scientists seek to detect patterns , laws, and cycles in that which is being observed. In this case, the Starry Heavens.  Secondly , the Scientists Records the patterns , laws, and cycles that they have successfully detected , from their initial observations. Thirdly, the scientists renew their observations, and compare the results of their continued studies with the records of their past observations. When the scientists are successful , in their attempts to identify consistently repetitive cycles, they then, on this basis, record their conclusions as to scientific facts.

This registry of scientific conclusions then serves as a model by which scientists can accurately predict the recurrence of certain events based on their records of established cycles. The ancient Astronomers consequently wrote predictions as to future motions within the cosmos based on their recorded observations. Since the Astronomers/Astrologers used a mythological format to record their findings, their predictions of future cycles were transformed into the Prophecies of the Deities, their future conquests, intrigues, wars, and defeats.

So when Religion evolved from mythology, the chain continued. The Predictions of the scientific Astronomers (Astrologers/Mathematicians), that became the Oracles of Fabled Deities, when recorded under mythological headings, continued as the Prophecies of Messengers from God, in their Religious Format”

Astronomy is a science and is subject to mathematical proofs and analysis. Consequently,  if my proposition is correct i.e. that the bible is, in fact, Astronomy written in a mythological format – it must also hold true that the bible (like astronomy) is also subject to scientific and mathematical analysis.

And furthermore, the method that I shall use to prove my Contention; that bible is a symbolical rendering of astronomy  will be by providing Scientific, Mathematical and Astronomical Interpretations to various portions of the bible. These Interpretations will be reinforced and substantiated with Fact, not unsupported speculation.

These interpretations are not speculative or opinionated, but rather are based on methods of scientific deduction (i.e. unbiased, methodological, dispassionate) and are therefore mathematically verifiable. Math is a Universal Truth.. Of Course, Anyone can offer an interpretation based on conjecture and/or opinion, but when it comes to defining Universal Truth, opinions and guesses will not suffice. My interpretations are mathematically verifiable – this is the proof of their accuracy. The Ancients wrote religious scriptures in a coded form. Our mission within this Book is to transform this code into plain language, and this we shall do.

Our Bible is not an Original Document.

All of our modern Religious Text are actually Edited versions of Ancient scriptures; Ancient scriptures that have no traceable origin. Our Bibles, Korans, Vedas and religious scriptures of whatever stripe, were fashioned into Books by the Religious Organizations that claimed these Books as their Inspiration. These Books were, for the major part at least, developed from Ancient Text, Folklore, Oral Myths and Tales that have no traceable origin.

The myths and tales of the bible are as old as recorded time itself. Various cultures have edited the ancient text to Match their geographical locations and timeline, and they have created False (Mythological) histories by inserting themselves (their tribes, nations or races) into their revised versions. Much of what the general public views as history is actually mythology. Our scholars have been telling us for years that the origins of many ancient societies are shrouded in myth and fable. We have noticed also that many National myths seem to convey a Common theme, for example the claim to Demigod status for the royal family is very common.

It is extremely important that we understand this one Vital Point; that our modern religious scriptures are, in fact, the Edited Versions of Myths and Fables that originated in (what we consider)Prehistory. One of the major keys to the correct interpretation of biblical myths is the proper understanding of the Impetus that caused its’ (myth) creation (both oral and written) in the first place. Our ability to decode the ancient myths is immeasurably enhanced when we possess an understanding of the factors that Motivated the Ancients to create and record these Tales. That Motivation was the Need for Correct Timekeeping!

Time! Time! Time! – This term “Time” goes to the Root of the matter. Time is Life and Life is Time. The greatest help (aid to the correct understanding of the Gnosis) that my Spiritual Father ever gave to me was his reference to religion as the Theology Of Time. Time has no beginning or ending, it is omnipresent – and without Time Nothing that Is would Be. Time is an Expanding Force that cannot Stop Expanding. Time requires Motion and the Measurement of Time requires Demarcation. The Creation referred to in the Bible is actually the creation of methods of Time measurement. We will cover this subject in the First chapter of this Book.

Time was the most important factor affecting the existence of Early (primitive, Recovering civilization) Man. The correct measurement of Time was absolutely vital to the survival of Primitive humankind. Whether they lived or died, starved or froze to death was intricately tied with correct Time measurement. Planting had to be done at the proper Time of the year, likewise the harvesting, also migration and hunting and building. Storage of Food stuffs was determined by correct measurement of the seasonal cycles, also the migratory habits of various animals, that were slaughtered to supply food and clothing and shoes etc, were all connected to cycles of Time.

If we Contemplate the Importance of proper Timekeeping in the struggle of Early Humanity, to survive amongst the sometimes hostile forces of nature – we can easily discern their reasoning and see that the evolution of a “Religious Culture” that was and is innately connected to Time management was a rational, if not inevitable course.

I have supplied, in the aforementioned comments, a cursory explanation of Factors that may have motivated early society to formulate their religious traditions so as to reflect intimate connections with Timekeeping. Now as we continue along this line of reasoning, our next Focus should be on the probable methods under which this information (systems of Timekeeping) was preserved and passed on to succeeding generations.

Of course we already know that the chief methods utilized by primitive society to record events and history (accumulated knowledge) was through Pictures, Tales, Festivals and Gestures (coded signs) also symbolic Dancing. When we consider the essential and vital importance of correct timekeeping to the daily existence of Ancient Man, we are able to formulate a rationale that explains why early Religious Culture was intimately connected to Timekeeping.

The use of Symbolic rather than literal record keeping is explained by the fact that this Method of Timekeeping was maintained and sustained by the Sacerdotal and Ruling classes of ancient society. Also the need for record keeping (A Registry of Celestial Cycles) preceded the development of the Science of writing, hence the Art of Drawing and Oral Rhythmic Verse(Tales, Myths, Folklore)  was incorporated as methods of recording knowledge in lieu of Written Records. The myths and fables provided the common people with a spiritual outlet and guaranteed the preservation of the symbolic knowledge because it was made traditional and celebratory. The various rituals were celebrated with fanatical adherence to Time (seasonal) cycles and precision was guaranteed because failure to be correct might invoke the wrath of the deities. This was the attitude of the common folk, although the ruling classes knew better.

The bible is only a part of a much larger book

The Bible is a Book of books. It consist of several separate compositions that were written (edited) by various authors of diverse demographics. Those who compiled the bible, made their selections of scriptures that were included in the Book, based on the Canons of their church. Several compositions were excluded from the bible for various reasons, but mainly because those excluded Selections did not conform or support the Focus, Belief or Purposes of the Editors.

Many, many versions of the bible have been compiled in the last 1800 years or so, and all are not identical. The various Editors have Included or Excluded information as they saw fit to do. The most popular English translation of the bible is The Authorized King James Version, which is the one that I shall use as a reference for my deciphering of the Gnostic Symbolism. At times, I may refer to other English translations in order to clarify or reinforce a point of scripture.

My interpretations shall be to the point, and concise. Some readers may therefore be inspired to seek more detailed information (verification) from other sources. My desire is to avoid shackling the book with copious footnotes and meticulous details that may be unnecessarily pedantic to the average Truth Seeker. In my opinion, excessive details tend to obscure the true focus of a book rather than aid it. Nevertheless, some Interpretations are Intricate, and may require Rereading, but most are very vivid. A Bibliography is provided for aid in further research. I strongly suggest use of the Appendix. Also the Appendix of “The Astrological Foundation Of The Christ Myth, Book One” has some very useful information. A good Handbook on astronomy is recommended.

The fact that All of the Ancient Scriptures are not contained in the King James Version of the bible or in any One bible is not important. The KJV contains more Information than anyone could properly decipher in a lifetime. I am very Impressed that the Symbolism has been maintained so well, through it’s many translations; from the Hebrew to the Greek to the Latin and into English. The fact that the Gnosis is pretty well intact after 2000 years of multiple Translations and Literary Hanky Panky is remarkable.

I am sometimes bewildered that some reasonably intelligent people have difficulty understanding (accepting) biblical symbolism, even after it is clearly explained and Proven to them. I am convinced that this stubbornness is due largely to our Cultural Programming. We have been culturally programmed (educated) to recognize or discern Truth. The accepted method of analyzing the Validity of a supposition is by Comparison; that is we tend to compare the Unknown quality (supposition) with the Known quality (accepted cultural opinions). If the Unknown Quality Conforms to the Known Quality, then this supposedly indicates a validation of the previously Unknown Quality; but if it (the supposition) does not Conform, we tend to reject it. This method of Comparison works fine, if our Criterion (accepted cultural opinions) are Valid and Accurate. However, if our Basic Assumptions are Flawed, it follows that any and all determinations that are derived, based on invalid premises (that we have traditionally accepted, without critical investigation) will probably be the wrong conclusions.

The best Analysis is an Independent analysis, without Preconceived notions. The Best (evaluating) tool at our disposal is our Ability to Reason. Rational thinking will work wonders if we allow it free reign, but that’s easier said than done. Check out the Root Definition of the word “Religion”, from the Latin – it is defined: to tie down, to bind.

The fables of the bible fit into the same category as the ancient Greek Myths, the Roman Myths, the Hindu Myths etc. The bible is composed of Hebrew Myths and Christian Myths – that is the way you Must view this issue, if you are sincerely seeking clarity. The bible is Not Sacred; it was not written by god and it is not a divinely inspired revelation. The bible is a Book of Science (a Registry of Astronomical Phenomena) written in a Mythological Format. A Critical analysis of biblical scripture will not Ring with success unless it is done Dispassionately. If your critique is geared at proving some Preconceived Notion, that you intend to hold on to Regardless of your findings (even though the resulting information may contradict your established assumptions) – then you may be unreasonably Biased and your results will be skewed, in my opinion. Fear of the Truth will keep you from recognizing or accepting the Truth. I define Truth as that which is naturally and mathematically verifiable. If we don’t possess the skills to pin the Truth down mathematically, then our most positive recourse is to resort to Reason. The Truth tends to be Reasonable in most cases.

Biblical (astronomical) symbolism is approximate and therefore must be adjusted from time to time

I must once again call your attention to an issue that I raised in Book Two concerning prophecy.

Witness my quote from Book Two:

“Ancient Mythology was the rendering of scientific astronomy in a mythological format. Mythology symbolizes the movements of the heavenly bodies within the cosmos. Astronomy deals with charting the cycles of all the entities within the cosmos. The Prophecy that prevails in Mythology and religion is a result of this charting. Of course a Prophecy, when delivered in a personified religious format, seems to be the miraculous foretelling of human events. But, in it’s Original form; the Prophecy did not pertain to future human activity. The Prophecy pertained to the future movements of celestial entities.”

I must also reiterate – The bible is a Registry of recorded astronomical phenomena written in a mythological format. The understanding of this One Vital Point is the Key to the proper deciphering of biblical symbolism. The bible (a book of astronomical symbolism) deals with the recording of astronomical cycles and the Predictions of the reoccurrence of these cycles, also the evolution of major cycles generated by minor cycles. The consequences or purpose of all this is to operate and preserve a System of progressive Calendrical adjustments throughout time.

The activity of correlating Time Cycles always produces fractions. The natural cycles of the elements within the cosmos such as the moon, sun, the equinoxes and solstices, sequences of eclipses, revolutions of the planets, comets and all such astronomical activity occur at intervals that cannot be reduced to whole numbers; hence, there is always the need for the Astronomers (Priesthood, Biblical Editors) to continually update and adjust their calculations, as Time marches on.

The Ancients developed a system that recorded some cycles as whole numbers, without regard to the fractions, and then at predictable intervals they would adjust their calculations to another whole number of a greater cycle that was closer to accuracy. For example, although our year is 365 ¼ days long – we disregard the fraction, but at intervals of 4 years we add a whole number (day) and this brings us closer to accuracy in our time keeping.

But actually this adjustment is not accurate; it is simply closer to accuracy. The actual year is 365.242199 days long, so 4 times this number produces 1460.968796. So by adding a whole number to our calendar we merely reduce the error to a smaller fraction i.e. 031204 days instead of .242199 days.

However, with every 4 years passing (when we make this adjustment), we are adding incrementally to our error so that eventually the smaller error will exceed the larger error – And it is this Type of problem that influenced the Priesthood (biblical Editors) to invent a System of Prophecy that would enable them to convey instructions (for Calendrical adjustments) to succeeding Generations (of the Initiated).

But before I connect this to biblical prophecy, I would like to interject this point about Festivals. One of the ways that the Sacerdotal class would handle the problem of calibrating the calendar to a larger cycle, in order to reduce the incremental discrepancies caused by the periodic adjustments of minor cycles, was this: They would calculate the date when these smaller fractions would accumulate to a whole number (day) which might be 120 years, 400 years, 532 years, 1460 years or whatever – and they would designate that time (end of the cycle) as a day of celebration, commemorating some Deity or Event, and include this pronouncement in their writings (scriptures) and/or folklore. So when that day arrived the Common people would take to the streets in gaiety and celebration of some mythological fancy, while the Priesthood would slink into their Chambers and Observatories – getting on with their work of proper Timekeeping.

The predictions and prophecies about an expected Savior, Avenger, Avatar or divine Messenger and the like were all coded messages sent out, by the Priesthood, to the Initiated and their descendants. This mythology was taken literally by the Common people but the Initiates knew better. Throughout the bible we are warned about a Coming Savior and a dreaded Day of Judgment or a Glorious Day of Deliverance. All of these, the expected Savior, Judgment Day and/or Deliverance and the like are esoteric symbolisms related to adjustments in Timekeeping.

As I explained above, All adjustments to the calendar (Time Keeping) are temporary and inexact, and generate the need for further adjustments – at times, far into the distant future. Some cycles run into thousands of years. So the Priesthood had to develop a method of passing the Word (instructions for future Calendrical adjustments) to succeeding Generations; Generations that would come to life hundreds or thousands of years into the future.

The Method that the Ancients used was to predict the Coming of a Savior at some distant point in time. The Mission of the Savior would be to bring Justice to the World, To Deliver humanity from Bondage, To Chastise people for their Sins, To Destroy the Transgressors, To Mediate and Reconcile the Enmity and Hatred among peoples. This is Coded Language used to instruct succeeding Generations (within the circle of the Initiates) as to When they must make adjustments to the Calendar. The Mission of the Savior concerns Justice, Deliverance, Transgression, Mediation, Chastisement. All of these Terms relate to the Correction of Errors, but not errors in ones social habits as the uninitiated think – but rather Errors in mathematical computations that govern proper Time Keeping.

We have already learned, from what I wrote above, that our method of timekeeping (calendar) requires periodic adjustments. The Transgressions that the Savior will come to remedy are not social transgressions but rather mathematical transgressions. The Savior shall Mediate (reconcile) the Errors of computation, He shall make Judgment on the Errors in Time keeping, He shall Destroy the Wrong Doers (Numbers) and replace them with correct Numbers. I could go on and on. The Savior actually refers to the Priesthood of the Generation to which the prophecy is directed. The Priesthood (biblical Editors) is the actual Savior that continually Edits and Re-Edits the Scriptures from Generation to Generation throughout history.

The Coming Savior is often referred to as a Mediator, Judge, Avenger, Destroyer, Chastiser, Emancipator. All of these words have obvious social implications, but in fact the words are codes that indicate corrections and adjustments to the mathematical computations that govern correct timekeeping. The year and date that the Savior is destined to arrive is Always pegged to the year and date when the calendar must be Updated (Judged, Corrected, Mediated, etc).

Witness this Definition from the Dictionary.com:

mediator one who intervenes between two persons who are at variance, with a view to reconcile them. This word is not found in the Old Testament; but the idea it expresses is found in Job 9:33, in the word "daysman" (q.v.), marg., "
