Dissolving The Division ©

There appears to be a
problem with the great diversity of religious belief systems where there should
be no problem at all. I had attended a
function recently where I found myself in the midst of some Christian women, at
least one Moslem and two Jewish women.
In attendance there also happened to be two Wicca (witches). This was not a religious function but there
was definitely some tension between the factions. I inadvertently caused some raised eyebrows when I explained that
to me they were all the same, it was just the way they practiced their beliefs
that was different. I went on to
explain that I could attend each of
their functions and celebrations and walk away feeling enriched and
enlightened. I was asked to explain,
but time and circumstances did not allow for anything more than a cursory
sentence or two.
At this time there are
very large groups of people gathering together to investigate and practice the
beliefs of their ancestors. There are
also a very large number of lone individuals who are practicing the ancient
ways. With this great resurgence into
ancient religious belief systems there is a need for information that not only
guides and informs these groups, and lone individuals, but unites them
also. These practitioners involve
Celts, Scandinavians, Germans, the Indigenous Peoples of North America, and
Goddess oriented individuals, to name but a few. Many have tried to reconcile the old ways with Christianity and
have succeeded, but some have become lost, trapped and confused. If you take the time to read these pages you
will find that the ancient ways traveled through into Christianity thereby
uniting all peoples. The answer lies within the Bible itself. Codes and
symbolism were intentionally inserted to unite all people into one religious
belief system.
I do not view this
unity as a detraction from any one particular religion but as enrichment for
all. My aim is to bring peace and unity to as many individuals as it is
possible for me to reach. I realize
that in doing so I may upset a few individuals. This is not my intent but progress and enlightenment generally
has this effect as it ripples through society.
All we need do is look at what is happening in the churches today, and
the splinter factions, to realize that this is very true. Change and enlightenment can be a very
harrowing experience to some individuals.
Yet others yearn for it.
Enlightenment is progress whether in science or religions. But many times we have to look into the past
to learn about the present and change the future.
So, with all of the
above in mind, I have decided to share one small piece of my knowledge with you
in the hopes that you will share it with others. I tend to write as I speak and think so please excuse the
grammatical errors that you may find. I
had initially written a manuscript that I had hoped would be a book, as not
everyone has access to the Internet, but trying to obtain a publisher has
proven to be more difficult than the years that I have spent researching my
material. I found that many are not
interested in controversial material or Bible codes and others are just far too
busy to accept any query letters.
I did not have my manuscript
edited as I had hoped to find an interested publisher first. The reason that I mention the manuscript is
very simply because I have decided that rather than retype the information I
will simply copy a few select paragraphs to this file, with the exception of
paragraph modification. In my
manuscript I had set the bibliography for each chapter at the end of the chapter but it will not be necessary to
relate them here for these small bits of Bible codes and information. However, to confirm what you are about to
read you will need a pencil, paper, and a copy of the King James Version of the
Bible, or one that closely resembles it, as there are many being put out by
private organizations. It is very
difficult to condense a chapter of information to a few pages so pertinent
information has to be set-aside for now.
In both situations,
1700 years ago when the books were selected for the Roman Catholic Bible and
then again 400 years ago when the books were reselected for inclusion, it was
the decision of only a few individuals which books would be included in the
Bible and which ones wouldn’t. I have
talked to people who feel that there are more Books that should have been
included. There are many authors who
have given their theories as to why some were chosen and some were not. The probability is that had they been
included the codes of 3, 7, 9, and 12 would not have been as prominent as they
should be. Added to this, those in
charge of making the decision knew what the other books actually meant and did
not feel that there was any value to them.
They knew that many stories were simply made up, as a way of instructing
the people in symbols and parables, and that others were fraudulent. The original Roman Catholic Bible was
essentially a handbook for the clergy on what belief systems were to be
taught. Keeping the old gods and ways
of their belief system intact, and inserting those beliefs into the new manual
that came to be called a Bible, was the main agenda. The problem lay with the number of the Books, the mystical
numbers 3, 7, 9, and 12 had to be included and on an even balance.
I am going to repeat
again for the benefit of those individuals who may be having a hard time with
this, and I have found that there are a few, that when searching for these
codes it is absolutely essential that each series of digits be brought down to
its lowest digit. It is a code and as
such must be deciphered. As mentioned
previously, in the case of the vision of Ezekiel, (Ezekiel chapter 1) when we
multiply the 4 creatures times the 4 faces we end up with the number 16. We then add the 1 and 6 and end up with the
mystical number 7. In these next few
paragraphs I will explain how the Mithraic and Zoroastrian members carried the
Pagan beliefs and the authentic ancient codes of the sciences and astronomy
into the new religion that came to be called Christianity, and how they were
later carried through into the King James bible.
…………….
As
strange as this may appear, when the King James Bible was published in 1611CE,
although some books were removed that are currently in the Roman Catholic
edition the mystical numbers symbols and stories were not only retained, but
they took the prominent position that they had originally had. As I have previously explained some of the
ancient seed codes are numbers and although they refer to astronomy they have
become a part of every religious initiation rite, plus existing in some groups
that are not considered religious.
Although many individuals are already aware of how many Books are in the
Bible and why, many others are not.
Using the King James
Version of the Bible and referring to the Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures,
Samuel, Kings and Chronicles each have 2 books bringing the final total to 39
in all. Reducing this to the final digit we have 3+9=12 (1+2=3). The New Testament as it is now with
Corinthians, Thessalonians, Timothy,
Peter and John each having more than 1 book total 27 (2+7=9). Taking the final total of the 3 from the Old
Testament and adding it to the final total of the 9 of the New Testament we
have 3+9=12 (1+2=3). That was easy
enough for them to do, just split up some of the books to make it balance. There wasn’t a problem with number 7 since
it is inserted throughout the Bible.
But what if a problem
occurred during the final compiling of the entries and someone decided not to
split up the books as planned. Well
then, the Old Testament would equal 36 books (3+6=9) and the New Testament books
would equal 21 (2+1=3). Problem
solved. We just add the 9 from the Old
Testament to the 3 of the New Testament and we have 9+3=12 (1+2=3) again. However the 9 could not be left out since it
also was considered a sacred number.
The number 9 became the number of the beast that Christians converted
into meaning Satan the Devil in the Book Revelations, as you read in chapter
two. You will find this digit secreted
throughout the Bible also.
…………..
You will remember that
the number of the beast is supposed to be 666.
In the last chapter I had explained how 666 equals the number 9 and if
we turn the numbers upside down to 999 we still end up with 9. So how has the number 9 been imprinted on
the minds of the Christians? It became
the number of the great evil beast that fights with Christ and opposes the
Christian God of the Bible. You will
recall that the duality of the gods was imposed on us by the early Zoroastrian
belief system. However, the individuals
who were in charge of compiling the books that came to be known as the Old
Testament probably didn’t know that the number stood for astronomy and so they
converted it to mean something else altogether. The Romans that went on to compile the Bible had no idea what the
beast was, and since they could neither read Hebrew nor understand its imagery
they didn’t delete it.
………….
It is obvious that in
the King James Version the emphasis was on the number 12 that would be brought
down to the final digit of 3 since the Bible has 66 books in total. The number 6 is not considered a sacred
number since it does not have any significance to the astronomical
constellations under discussion, nor in any authentic ritual. There is no doubt in my mind that some
individuals approximately 1700 years ago and then again 400 years ago had some
sleepless nights trying to figure out how to ensure the safety of the codes and
beliefs that were either loved or feared a great deal. Apparently there was quite a bit of intrigue
going on both times as people squabbled over what Bible books should be
included and which ones shouldn’t. In
both cases the individuals concerned were determined to carry the seed codes of
the number 3, 7, 9, and 12 through, along with the well-established symbols,
rites and rituals, and they did, although may individuals lost their lives over
it.
…………..
Constantine, known as
Constantine the Great and agent of the Christianisation of the Roman Empire
lived between the years of 272/273 – 337AD.
The Encyclopedia of Religion states that Constantine’s motives
are beyond reconstruction. It
appears that on the eve of a war, which would be October 27, 312 AD, it is
stated that Constantine received a vision from a deity that was to be construed
as divine assistance. What deity he
received the vision from is not stated.
He apparently won the war and then promptly went home and murdered his
wife, his son and a brother-in-law.
After the event of the vision it is claimed that he no longer openly
participated in pagan practices. It
does not say that he didn’t participate at all. What we are told is that he didn’t do it openly.
We are informed that
Constantine was a tolerant pagan content with accumulating deities. We are also told that his conversion to
Christianity did not alienate Pagans, for religion had not been an issue in the
civil war. Something I find
interesting is that it is stated that politics and religion became so
entangled that Constantine using attacks on Christians in the East as a
pretext, could declare his campaign against Licinius in 324 a crusade against Paganism. Since it is known that there was some
animosity between the two men it becomes obvious that religion was used as an
excuse to fight much as it is today.
Elaborating on Constantine and his life is outside the scope of this
book, but it is important to note some important points.
Constantine was a
warrior and he had been born and raised in the Mithraic belief system. The different religions throughout his vast
empire were a source of agitation to him and his solution to this was to unite
his empire under one religion. Because
of the diversity of religions under the rule of his empire he called for a
formal meeting that came to be known as The Council of Nicaea, this took place
in 325AD. It was a gathering of
approximately three hundred religious leaders who were arguing over differing
views. One example was the nature of
Christ and whether or not the father and son were to be one and the same or to
be viewed as separate, or as a trinity involving a holy spirit.
……………….
Constantine had no one
to challenge his authority from the 324AD and he died in 337AD. The god Mithra had been declared God and
Protector of the Roman Empire in 307AD.
If Constantine had really turned to Christianity and another god, why
didn’t he remove the god Mithra as protector of the empire? He had a total of 13 years, give or take a
few months. Attesting to this his coins
continued to bear the inscription sol deus invitus (unconquerable sun). You will remember that Mithra was also
called the ‘unconquered sun, the divinity of light’.
The Bishop Eusebius
who lived from 263 – 330 AD wrote the only records that we have about the first
300 years of Christianity. It is said
that he was a close and intimate friend of the Emperor Constantine. In describing the events of the emerging
church he is also writing a biography of Constantine and an autobiography of
himself. It is interesting to note that
according to the Encyclopedia of Religion Constantine promised Eusebius
that he would be Bishop of the entire world. That is quite the bribe during any time period. Eusebius lived in luxury wanting
nothing. Eusebius died two years after
Constantine.
Taking all things into
consideration and looking only at the facts it appears that Constantine, with
the aid of his scribe Eusebius, concocted a scheme to unite all the religions
and people in the empire under one religious umbrella combining both Mithraism
and Zoroastrianism. There are no other
records so there is nothing to dispute Eusebius’s autobiography of himself and
the biography of Constantine. We are
told that they were friends but this is questionable since Eusebius had at one
time been confined in prison because of his religious beliefs that were not the
same as Constantine’s. We must also
consider that since Eusebius hadn’t lived for the three hundred years in
question then what he wrote about that time period is also highly questionable,
since there is nothing to confirm even a small portion of his writings as
authentic. Since Eusebius had held a
different religious belief system from Constantine, and he died two years after
Constantine, that means he had two years to alter any records that were in his
keeping. There is also the point to
consider that after Eusebius died anyone could have written anything and signed
his name to it. A small time period of
one to two hundred years later could not be proven one way or the other. It appears that we have been far to quick to
accept one man’s writings, and those that may not be his writings, in the
search for the foundation of Christianity.
The Encyclopedia of
Religion goes on to tell us that as to Constantine, his reputation rests
on his skilful manipulation of Christian symbols. This is correct. The
symbols and seed codes that were incorporated into Christianity were well known
and accepted in Mithraism and these were only distorted echoes from a long
faded past. Eusebius knew this and also
knew what was expected of a Divine Child as both Mithra and Zoroaster were
considered Divine Children. It was his
responsibility to make sure the Jewish Jesus fit that role.
………….
So now we know how the
echoes of the far ancient past carried through into what is known as the Roman
Catholic Bible and on into the King James Bible. You will remember reading in chapter two that the foundations of
the majority of religions, and their branches, have the same constellation
symbols and codes, this includes what we call Christianity. They are all one
and the same. I am going to bring this
chapter to conclusion by using a quote from the book The Pagan Christ
authored by Tom Harpur. The following
words were recorded by St. Augustine.
There
are many things that are true which it is not useful for
the vulgar crowd to know; and certain things
which although they
are
false it is expedient for the people to believe otherwise.
-St.
Augustine, City of God
There is no sense in being angry with anyone for what happened
so very long ago. All of the
individuals are now dead and gone. Rather than be upset at what had occurred we
should be grateful that these very important codes and symbols were carried
through to us today. Had they not all loved their god/s faithfully vital
information about the constellations would be lost to us, and this includes all
religions because they all carried them through. Should you wish to send me an email I can be reached at [email protected].
