In the mid-18th century, Carolus Linnaeus and Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840) first began systematically to classify human races and evaluate their attributes. In the early 19th century, Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) divided the human species into three varieties: the Caucasian race, the most beautiful and progressive; the Mongolian race, the civilizations of which had stagnated; and the Ethiopian race, whose members displayed a “reduced skull” and facial features of a monkey. This last group remained “barbarian”. That the different groups of human beings could be arranged in a hierrachy from lowest to highest was, thus, a commonplace in biology, as well in the public mind. The US Constitution recognized this kind of hierarchy when it affirmed the property rights of slave holders and stipulated that resident Africans should be counted as three-fifth of a person for purposes of deciding congressional representation. (Galileo Goes to Jail, Ed. Ronald L. Numbers. 2009, p. 175)
Big Bang theory referred to as Modern “Genesis” retired the Biblical Genesis because the American social Darwinist and a New Ager John Fiske imparted to the enthusiastic audiences his conviction that the political genius of Aryan peoples was the hope of the world. Oliver Stone in his laterst documentary series "Secret History of America" is rehabilitating Hitler and Stalin as typical scape goats of public opinion. In fact, the director argues they were both products of their historical period. Let me add here that Philosopher M. Polanyi observed, “Newtonian physics and Darwin’s notion of the survival of the fittest were key elements both in the Marxist concepts of class warfare and of racial philosophies which shaped Hitlerism and scientific world view.” Logically, we may expect that another Jewish Holocaust is unavoidable and it will be a product of John Paul II's rehabilitation of Criminal “Science.”
What 'Science' meant for the early Apostles of Aryanism
In his magisterial two-volume work Modern Egypt, Lord Cromer argued that the ‘Oriental’, meaning Semites, was irredeemably childish and the diametrical opposite of ‘us’: “Sir Alfred Lyall once said to me: ‘Accuracy is abhorrent to the Oriental mind. Every Anglo-Indian school always remembers that maxim.’ Want of accuracy, which easily degenerates into untruthfulness, is in fact the main characteristic of the Oriental mind... Although the ancient Arabs acquired in a somewhat higher degree the science of dialectics, their descendants are singularly deficient in the logical faculty. They are often incapable of drawing the most obvious conclusions from any simple premises of which they may admit the truth.” (Quoted in Edward W. Said, Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient New York and London, 1985. p.38)
The influential French philologist E. Renan attempted a “scientific” explanation for new racist and imperialist myths. He argued that Hebrew and Arabic were degraded languages, deviations from the Aryan tradition, which had become irredeemably flawed. These Semitic tongues could be studied only as an example of arrested development and lacked the progressive character of ‘our’ linguistic systems. That was why Jews and Arabs were both ‘une combinaison inferieure de la nature humaine: “One sees that in all things the Semitic race appears to us to be an incomplete race by virtue of its simplicity. This race – if I dare use the analogy – is to the Indo-European family what a pencil sketch is to a painting; it lacks that variety, that amplitude, that abundance of life which is the condition of perfectibility.
Renan inspired this passage in A. Hitler's Mein Kampf: “…What we see before us of human culture today, the results of art, science, and techniques, is almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan.” (…) “The Jew forms the strongest contrast to the Aryan.’’(…) “The Jewish person, with all its apparent intellectual qualities, is nevertheless without any true culture, especially without a culture of its own. For the sham culture which the Jew possesses today is the property of other peoples, and is mostly spoiled in his hands. When judging Jewry in its attitude towards the question of human culture, one has to keep before one’s eyes as an essential characteristic that there never has been and consequently that today also there is no Jewish art; that above all the two queens of all arts, architecture and music, owe nothing original to Jewry. What he achieves in the field of art is either bowdlerization or intellectual theft. With this, the Jew lacks those qualities which distinguish creatively and, with it, culturally blessed races.’
As a result of this racist attitude of the Europeans , rthe word Orintal(s) meaning Eastern(s) is often now seen as pejorative by the people it refers to, perhaps with the exception of Palestinians, who know that they will be loved because of their proximity to the Suez Canal, still an object of colonial desire.
From a Bathtube to a Littlle, Warm Pond
Until 1836 the English public had never heard of Andrew Crosse. By the end of 1837 he was reviled from one end of England to the other. He was an atheist, a blasphemer, “a reviler of our holy religion”, “a disturber of the peace of families”, a man who had presumptuously attempted to rival the God that made him. www.rexresearch.com/crosse/crosse.htm
In the year 1837 Crosse was making certain experiments upon the artificial formation of crystals by means of weak and long-continued electric currents. The insect (acari) first appeared in the course of an attempt to make crystals of silica by allowing a suitable fluid medium to seep through a piece of porous stone (oxide of iron, from Vesuvius) kept electrified by means of battery. The fluid used was a mixture of hydrochloric acid and a solution of silicate of potash.
“On the 26th day from the commencement of this experiment the appearances assumed the form of a perfect insect, standing erect on a few bristles which formed its tail. In the course of a few weeks about a hundred of them made their appearance on the stone...In a later experiment, Crosse succeeded in producing an acarus in a closed and airtight glass retort filled with an electrified solution, one wire being led in through the all of the retort and the other through a cup of mercury at its beak. The solution was a sillicate one, prepared as for the first experiment, and was put in hot. On connecting up the battery:
“An electric action commenced; oxygen and hydrogen gases were liberated; the volume of atmospheric air was soon expelled. Every care had been taken to avoid atmospheric contact and admittance of extraneous matter, and the retort itself had previously been washed with hot alcohol...”
Let me add here that in those days, i.e. when Blavatsky was propagating her ideas, electricity was considered the very essence and origin of life itself. Mme Blavatsky, the Russian-born foundress of Theosophy taught the philosophy behind Pan’s seven-piped flute as follows: “Force enough may actually be generated to create an electrical vortex, sufficiently powerful to produce many a strange phenomenon.Henry Kunrath, the greatest of the alchemists and Rosicrucians of the middle ages, has shown spirit in man, as in every atom – as a bright flame enclosed within a more or less transparent globule – which he called soul.According to Soviet poet Maiakovsky, the soul is nothing but “steam, compressed air, and electricity.” Lenin taught: Communism= Socialism+Electricity.
It is interesting to note that at the height of the Crosse furore (1837) no less an authority than Faraday stated, in a paper read at the Royal Institution, that similar appearances had presented themselves in the course of his own electrical experiments, but that he was doubtful whether they should be regarded as a case of production or revivification..
In the opinion of Dr. A.C. Oudemans of Arnhem, an authority upon acari, expressed in 1934, Crosse's were quite certainly the common Glycophagus domesticus, which is very tenacious of life and capable of getting into tins which appear to be hermetically sealed. (Rupert T. Gould Crosse's Acari in his book Oddities. A Book of Unexplained facts. 1965). There was no Pasteur in England at that time.
The last sentence of The Origin of Species, first edition, 1859: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
But this sentence of all the editions of his magnum opus bar the first was corrected to read:
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
It was the version of the first edition which inspired A. Hitler's belief: “Ultimate wisdom consists in understanding the instinctive causes – that is: a man must never fall into the madness of believing that he has really risen to be lord and master over Nature – which is so easily induced by the conceit of half-education – but must understand the fundamental necessity of Nature's rule, and realize how much his existence is subject to these laws of eternal combat and upward struggle. Then he will sense that in a universe where planets revolve around suns, and moons turn about planets, where force alone forever masters weakness, compelling it to be an obedient servant or else crushing it, there can be no special laws for man. (www.adelaideinstitute.org/Think/bush_hitler1.htm)
According to his letter of 1863 to Hooker Darwin “ truckled to public opinion & used Pentateuchal term of creation, by which he really meant "appeared" by some wholly unknown process. As Wiker observed, Some are fooled by this sop even to this day. Darwin was consistently predisposed to the origin of life being a wholly natural phenomenon. Although he insisted over and over again that there was no evidence of how the first organisms may have first appeared, he was firmly convinced it was the outcome of a natural process that had to be approached from a secular framework.
Such a view is confirmed by the fact overlooked by most critics, namely that Darwin linked in this famous sentence his hypothese of spontaneous generation of life with Newton's heliocentric scheme. By this act Darwin broke up totally with the Biblical creationism and embraced what Newton called Gentile Theology. In the early 1680s, shortly before publishing his Principia, Newton began work on a treatise, which he called the Philosophical Origins of Gentile Theology. This argued that Noah had founded the primordial religion – a Gentile Theology – which had been free of superstition and had advocated a rational worship of one God. The only commandments were love of God and love of neighbor. Pythagoras had learned about this religion and brought it to the West. Jesus had been one of these prophets sent to call mankind back to the truth, but his pure religion had been corrupted. Pythagoras became Patron Saint of the British Masonry since St. Alban, the First Grand Master.
What Newton called Gentile Theology became in the 19th century natural theology. Later the word "theology" with its "religious" association was dropped, and the subject became known as natural philosophy; later, this was changed to natural history. The ascendancy of the theory of evolution coincided with the declining public interest in natural history.
The Story behind Darwin's Warm Little Pond
Modern heliocentrism is nothing but mythological solar religion expressed in mathematical language, Galileo's Book of Nature written, in circles, triangles and so on. This religious aspect of heliocentrism is intentionally ignored by modern scientists, who are totally committed to the ideology of secularism. The notion of natural laws was always connected with the personified sun gods known under different names in different areas of the world: Shiva, Aten, Helios, Jupiter, Adonis, Surya, B aal, Wotan, and so on. The Hindu linga (phallus) was the symbol of this god and that explains an old Babylonian statute of the sun god Shemesh giving laws to Hammurabi on top of a linga. The sun god of Pharao Akhenaten's is depicted with innumerable arms touching various phenomena on the earth. Similarly are depicted the solar deities of the Aryans in India.
Speaking of heliocentrism as a secular science is a deception in the warfare of Science with Religion professed by millions of people around the world. The books of Copernicus, Kepler and Newton were written in Latin and therefore subject to interpretation by people who understood this language and were dependent for their livelihood on clerical caste which sponsored their researches for their political reasons. Reading the above quoted passage from Darwin's book in the context of the solar theology expressed in the books of heliocentrists gives it a different meaning:
In an official prayer Avalokiteshvara, who emanated from the right eye of his spiritual father, Amitabha (Spiritual Sun) is described as a puer aeternus (cp. Baby Jesus): “Generated from ten million rays, his body is completely white. His head is adorned and his locks reach down to his breast.” According to Aquinas the active part of the semen (the animal spirit) remains until the generative process is completed. This part also obtains heat from the sun, confirming the claim of Aristotle, that “man is generated by man and the sun.” Copernicus pictures the sun in The Revolutions as All Seeing Being, Visible God and mentions the stars as his “family” according to the classical defintions of the sun as Father of all. www.oneyearbibleblog.com/2008/04/april-1st-on...:
“ In the middle of all sits the sun enthroned. In this most beautiful temple could we place this luminary in any better position from which he can illuminate the whole at once? He is rightly called the Lamp, the mind, the Ruler of the Universe; Hermes Trismegistus, names him the Visible God...So the Sun sits as upon a royal throne ruling his children, the planets which circle round him. (De revolutionibus Bk. I, 10) In Egyptian mystery religion, the stars are worshipped as gods and are believed to govern the affairs of mankind.
“The sun, in the middle of the movin g stars, himself at rest and yet the source of motion, carries the image of God the Father and Creator...He distributes his motive force through a medium which contains the moving bodies even as the father creates through the Holy Ghost.” (Letter to Maestlin, 3.10.1595, in Gesammelte Werke, Vol XIII. Eds. Muenchen, 1945) In the
Religious ritual during the latest Annular Eclipse on Jan 15, 2010:
Seer Narayan Giri, who huddled in his saffron robes and a blanket at Haridwar's Har-ki-Pauri, said he spent the morning singing hymns and chanting mantra to redeem the sun god from the shadow of the moon.
"My prayers have been heard by the sun god. As clouds cleared in time, I could observe the path of eclipse in a clear sky from 11.30 a.m.," said D. Chandrika, a post-graduate student of astro-physics at Bangalore University.
Petrarch lamented the fact that in the minds of many scholars it was a sign of ignorance to prefer the Christian religion to pagan philosophy. Anticipating Darwin, Pomponazzi's pupil Porzio in his book De mente humana expressed his belief that the human soul differs in no essential point from the soul of a lion (monkey) or a plant (Cp. La Mettrie's L'Homme plant. In Pythagorean heliocentrism, the doctrine of the transmigration of soul was believed to be a fact.
The Copernican Sun as the Mind of the Universe looms behind the Intelligent Design theory which does not identify its intelligent design with a personal God of the Bible. According to one of proponents of this theory “Intelligent Design” is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.” ( Dembski). And the Logos of the gospel of John has nothing to do with the God of the Bible, who created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day. Evagelist John doesn't mention the six days of creation and doesn't mention shabbat, which was the most hated institution in the Roman Empire exploiting mercilessly the slave labor.
So the Creator, Darwin is talking about is not necessarily the God of the Bible even though he himself establishes such an understanding. In Pharaoh Akhenaten famous Hymn to the Sun we find the verses which could have influenced Darwin's image of “little, warm pond.”:
You who bring children into being in women,
and make fluid into mankind,
Who nourishes the son in the womb of his mother,
and soothes him that he weeps not,
O Nurse in the womb!
Who gives breath in order to keep alive
all that he has made;
When he comes forth from the womb on the day of
his birth,
You open his mouth in speech, and give all that
he needs.
The concept of the Central or Spiritual sun is known by many different names the world over.. According to Greek myths, the heart of the Central Sun beats and vibrations (Remember “good vibrations” from Beach Boys' song?) spread throughout the galaxy. This central Sun is a fountain of 'living waters,' healing 'waters' or of healing energy (the Aryan term Brahmah means 'energy'). Ancient wisdom traditions maintain humans, and all other beings in our galaxy, emanate from and share a common home: the Central Sun at the core of our Milky Way galaxy.
In a Sumerian hymn Enki stands at the empty river beds and fills them with his 'water.' Sumerian “a” means water, or semen. Let me remind in this context that the Samaritan woman misunderstood the ambiguous offer of 'living water', taking it to be fresh water when Jesus really meant the water of life. And that's, most likely, what Jesus meant by 'birth from above' or 'birth of water and the Holy Spirit.' - John 3:5. The early Christian sect of Naassenes identified Osiris with water. The Argive princess Danae was impregnated by Zeus in the guise of a golden shower (Gold was believed in ancient Egypt to be “flesh of the sun”). Recall in this context that when “one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his (Jesus') side, and forthwith came there out blood and (living) water.” (John 19:33-34) Such living water could have brought forth the living creatures. The ancient Vedic seers described the original cosmic creative process as “the churning of the milky ocean” whereby fields of subtle substance become condensed into gross matter; a view that is now widely accepted today in energy-field physics research. The Jesuit father Coyne, Director of the Vatican Observatory during John Paul II's pontificate believed the stars to be God's sperm.
Manu said, perhaps 3.000 years before the birth of Christ:
"When this world had issued out of darkness, the subtile elementary principles produced the vegetal seed which animated first the plants; from the plants, life passed into fantastical bodies which were born in the ilus of the waters; then, through a series of forms and various animals, it reached MAN."
"The first germ of life was developed by water and heat" (Manu, book i., sloka 8).
"Water ascends toward the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rain are born the plants, and from the plants, animals" (book iii., sloka 76).
Heraclitus tells us one thing more about proto-men (Darwin's ape-men): they were like fish. In the version of Censorinus these fish-like creatures are identified with the first aquatic living things and adult men and women are represented as emerging in the same way as other animals, when their enclosing membranes are split.
According to Father Murphy-O’Connor of the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem the Essene origins and, implicitly, the origins of Christianity should be traced to Babylonia during the Judean exile. There had been implanted along through the ages germs of another growth in human thinking, some of them even as early as the Babylonian period. In the Assyrian inscriptions we find recorded the Chaldeo-Babylonian idea of an evolution of the universe out of the primeval flood or "great deep," and of the animal creation out of the earth and sea. Tammuz in his original Sumerian pronounciation: Dumu-zi-abzu means faithful son of the Ocean (The Babylonian version of the little, warm pond).The Christian Church regarded the vessica piscis as a symbol of Christ, because of its fish shape, which was used by early Christians as a secret sign for Christ. Actually, the symbol of the organization was originally a fish and not the cross, indicating that the execution of Jesus was not so important at that time.
Interestingly, Darwin never explained where this “little, warm pond” came from. He didn't have to, because in the philosophical materialism matter is ever existent in the form of four elements, of which water is one. Thales of Miletus derived his world from water, like the other philosophers derived it from air, or fire. The world derived from matter is ever becoming and changing, exactly like in Darwin's evolutionism. Impermanence suggesting never ceasing transmutations is the main notion of Buddhism.
One of the early converts to Darwinism Rev. Charles Kingsley enriched Darwin's idea of natural creation with the idea of natural resurrection. Kingsley's expression "self development into other needful forms" soon found its outworkings in his book for small children tititled The Water Babies. Kingsley modified Father God from evidence of design, however, to Mother Nature, with allusions to evolution (F. Kingsley 1904, 245). The story has the child, Tom, approach Mother Carey (a synonym for Mother Nature), expecting to find her "making new beasts out of old". She explains to him that she has no need to go to that much trouble but simply has to sit and "make them make themselves" (C. Kingsley 1979, 232). This is a Kingsley' s sermon on the “gospel” according Aristotle who taught that decaying material could be transformed by the "spontaneous action of Nature" into living animals. This is philosophical rendition of the mythic idea of Phoenix reborn out of its ashes.
Shortly after the publication of The Water Babies,Kingsley was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1863; he had been promoted by Lyell. His grave, is, incidentally, near Darwin's in Westminster Abbey. Still he did not sprout a spiritual body, or a water baby.
This philosophical dogma of abiogenesis was embraced by St. Augustine (Incidentally his namesake in 597. became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, a position that now heads the Church of England) who preached: "Very tiny animals result from the corruption of mortal things, arise from defects of dead bodies, or from excrements, or from putrefaction of dead bodies". Augustine's abiogenesis was, of course, inspired by the myth of Phoenix and similar teaching of St. Paul, who elaborated Kata Upanishad's verse (1,8) Like corn decays the mortal, like corn is he born again, as follows:
“Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die…All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another…So also is the resurrection of the dead…It is sown a natural body; but it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” (1 Cor. 15:36-44)
In fact it may very well be that the glorified Body of Jesus Christ after the resurrection was and is his Substantial body, not his material body. Substance can be physical but not material. Presumably, in the tomb, the material body of Jesus went Quantum, became Quantum Energy, and was transformed into His Substantial Body or Quantum Body (Anthony J. Feifar, Form, Matter, Prime Matter, and Substance in Aristotle. 2007)
The same idea of natural resurrection is expressed in the Egyptian Coffin Text 330 which relates Osiris with both process and “the Order,” Mayet, the natural order of the world:
Whether I live or die I am Osiris,
I enter in and reappear through you,.
I decay in you, I grow in you...
Rev. Charles Kingsley was not the first Briton who embraced the idea of natural resurrection. Again, like Darwin, he could have pointed to Newton as his forerunner in this respect. In the paper entitled De Aere et Aethere Newton wrote:
“Just as bodies of this earth by breaking into small particles are converted into air, so these particles can be broken into lesser ones by some violent action and converted into yet more subtle air which, if it is subtle enough to penetrate the pores of the glass, crystal and other terrestrial bodies, we may call spirit of the air, or the ether. The incorporeal ether which facilitates gravitation (the Stoic hexis) is actually the body or spiritual form of Jesus Christ.”
But Catholicism taught the resurrection of the body (not just a spiritual body) as well as of the soul.
We have here what the occultists of all ages called Upward Causation as against Downward Causation starting from superior to the lower. If the higher is superior to the lower, it naturally follows that the higher is the cause of the lower, and not vice-versa. In other words, Matter is caused by Spirit, Spirit isn't caused by Matter. Man is created by God, God isn't created by Man. This is the exact opposite of the materialistic position, which sees the higher realities as the result or by-product of the lower (In the words of Manu: From Plant to Brahma, or The worm (acarus) of today is the God of tomorrow.” (Svami Vivekananda)
"Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (book i., sloka 20).
St. Paul expresssed the same idea as follows: “When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away (will be superseded)” – 1 Cor 13:10, which became the base of Darwin's natural Selection.Let me remind here that the London cathedral is dedicated to St. Paul
According to this materialistic version of science, physical matter, when it develops a sufficiently complex structure, produces life (organic matter). Life in turn, when it becomes sufficiently complex, produces mind and consciousness. And mind or consciousness, when it becomes sufficiently complex, through the development of philosophy and religion arrives at the idea of a First Principle, a God or Absolute Reality.
But, according to emanationist cosmology, the opposite is the case. The Absolute Reality produces through emanation universal mind, which in turn produces Life-force, which in turn condenses into matter, and eventually, living organisms. And this is Downward causation; the higher causes the lower. Because of this, each higher principle is the Creator and Origin of the hypostasis immediately below it. So we can refer to “the branch and the root”, each higher stage being the “root” of the one it generates. Simply put, St. Paul was a kabbalist, maybe like Madonna (51), who is now planning a baby with her loverboy Jesus (22) Interestingly, the Jews called the Christians notsrim i.e. Branches*. And the Arabs to this day call them nasrani lit. little fishes.
*The Greeks originally had no word for matter in general, as opposed to raw material suitable for some specific purpose or other, so Aristotle adopted the word for lumber (hyle) for this purpose. The idea that everything physical is made of the same basic substance holds up well under modern science, although it may be thought of more in terms of energy or matter/energy. The French philosopher La Mettrie wrote a book titled L'homme plant. Hylozoism is the doctrine according to which all matter possesses life. It is a poetical view of the world. In the 19th century, hylozoism had been revived by some thinkers as a postulate of science. Literally taken, it would be materialism, and in that sense is indefatigably advocated by E. Haeckel, who identifies mind with organization and life, and life with energy, which he makes a property of the atoms (the so-called “cold fusion” was to prove that even cold atoms possess energy). Matter is for him the only reality.
– Stephen Jay Gould, in his Ontogeny and Philogeny (1977) wrote: “Haeckel's evolutionary racism; his call to the German people for racial purity and unflinching devotion to a “just” state; his belief that harsh, inexorable, laws of evolution ruled human civilization and nature alike, conferring upon favored races the right to dominate others; the irrational mysticisam that had always stood in strange communion with his grave words about objective science – contributed to the rise of Nazism.” Now you better understand why Jews are not allowed to settle in Judea and Samaria. They “pollute” the racially pure Palestinians, who are believed to be descendents of the Aryan Philistines, or Greeks.
Jesus vs. Logos
Saint Irenaeus (Greek: Ειρηναίος was(2nd century AD - c. 202 AD) Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul, Roman Empire (now Lyons, France). He was an early church father and apologist, and his writings were formative in the early development of Christian theology. He was a disciple of Saint Polycarp, who was said to be a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist.
But unlike John who introduced to his gospel the philosophical demiurge (Logos), Irenaus preferred to speak of the Son and the Spirit as the "hands of God". The world has been intentionally designed by God, not by Logos as the ID proclaims.
In addition to reversing the wrongs done by Adam, Irenaeus thinks of Christ as "recapitulating" or "summing up" human life.This means that Christ goes through every stage of human life, from infancy to old age, and simply by living it, sanctifies it with his divinity. Irenaeus argues that Christ did not die until he was older than conventionally portrayed. Fighting this teaching Haeckel proclaimed his dogma: "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." This slogan represented his belief that in the course of its development, a human embryo first resembles a fish, in later weeks a salamander, then it passes through the reptilian and mammalian stages before "evolving" into a recognizable human being. The evolutionists hate the Jewish Jesus defending the Torah.
Ireenaeus' theology can be better understood in the context of Clement's letter to the Corinthian church, which is one of the oldest Christian documents still in existence outside the New Testament.
Saint Clement I, also known as Pope Clement I, Saint Clement of Rome, or Clemens Romanus, was the fourth Pope and Bishop of Rome and is considered the first Apostolic Father of the early Christian church. There are only two extant Greek texts of 1 Clement. The oldest is in Codex Alexandrinus, which dates to the 5th century.
"When it (the phoenix) has lived 500 years, it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak. In this it collects spices, and of these materials builds a pile on which it deposits itself, and dying, breathes out its last breath. From the body of the parent bird, a young Phoenix issues forth. When this has grown up, it lifts its nest from the tree and caries it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt and deposits it in the Temple of the Sun." - Ovid in his Metamorphoses In the apocryphal document known as The Ltter of Benan, Jesus was raised in the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis (On)
Pope Clement, a Darwinist before Darwin
"Let us understand, dearly beloved, how the Master continually showeth unto us the resurrection that shall be hereafter ...
Let us consider the marvellous sign which is seen in the regions of the east, that is, in the parts about Arabia.
There is a bird, which is named the phoenix. This, being the only one of its kind, liveth for five hundred years; and when it hath now reached the time of its dissolution that it should die, it maketh for itself a coffin of frankincense and myrrh and the other spices, into the which in the fulness of time it entereth, and so it dieth.
But, as the flesh rotteth, a certain worm is engendered (Recall Aristotle and Augustine!-rp), which is nurtured from the moisture of the dead creature and putteth forth wings. Then, when it is grown lusty, it taketh up that coffin where are the bones of its parent, and carrying them journeyeth from the country of Arabia even unto Egypt, to the place called the City of the Sun; and in the day time in the sight of all, flying to the altar of the Sun, it layeth them thereupon; and this done, it setteth forth to return. So the priests examine the registers of the times, and they find that it hath come when the five hundredth year is completed.
Do we then think it to be a great and marvelous thing, if the Creator of the universe shall bring about the resurrection of them that have served Him with holiness in the assurance of a good faith, seeing that He showeth to us even by a bird the magnificence of His promise?" Please note, he did not mention the resurrection of Jesus as the proof of resurrection, but that of the mythic bird! Well, the early Roman art doesn't depict Jesus as a Jewish Teacher, but as Helios or Apollo driving the sun chariot.
– The Epistle of St Clement to the Corinthians
According to Tertullian (Demurrer Against the Heretics 36 and 32:2) Clement was ordained by Peter.
In the Gnostic document entitled Revelation on Pistis Sophia, the Phoenx, which periodically puts itself to death and resurrects, is said to have been created as a witness for the iniquitous judgment passed upon Adam by the Archons. (Jean Doresse, The Secret Booksa of the Egyptian Gnostics.1986, p.169). In the mythology of New Age these Archons are called the White Brotherhood of Himalaya.
Tha Acta Diurnia or “daily gazette” chronicled events both momentous and trivial in Rome and the empire. Pliny drew on the acta for a number of the oddities he records in his Natural History. Some events reported in the Acta were too far-fetched even for the credulous Pliny to swallow, however, and he treats them with caution. The reputed sightings of a phoenix was one of these. (www.com.washington.edu/program/c)
John Paul II following in the footsteps of Clement
On Feb. 9, 1989, A. Sakharov traveled to Italy where he spent more than an hour in private audience with the Pope John Paul II and received an honorary doctorate in astronomy from the University of Bologna. Rector of the University said on this occasion: “Not by chance has he (Sakharov) been placed in the company of Copernicus, of Galileo and of Giordano Bruno. Not by chance is the book chosen for the laureation of A. Sakharov The Dialogue of the Two Greatest Systems by Galileo: a choice meant to recall the spirit of liberty…” Or I would say, license to kill the remaining Jews...
The phoenix-like character of matter reborn from its “ashes”was “proved” by the Soviet physicist A. Sakharov in his dogma of the “solar phoenix”, or strictly materialistic principle of the “spontaneous resurrection of energy (Brahma) such as takes place in the sun's core.” And this scientific dogma explains the strange Latin expression "resurrexit” (“he has risen again”) which in nonscriptural references is used almost invariably and surrectio (“risen”) hardly ever. Resurrectio suggest natural process repeating itself time and again and not a historical fact as exemplified by the risen Jesus. The term resurrectio mirrors Plato’s cosmology which was cyclic, with periodic destruction and recreation (Big Bang's expansions and contractions) of the universe in conjunction with various astronomical events, like the birth of a star and of a Jesus. Sakharov wanted to undo Patriarch Nikon’s reform who in the 17th century dropped the part of the phrase concerning sanctification “by the Holy Spirit and by fire” because “fire” did not have sufficient textual warrant, and this offended those who believed that the Holy Sprit was Himself fire according to the Aryan dogma. According to the Chinese Zen master Hogen, Buddha is “Hei-tei-dji Rai-gu-ka” (“the deity of fire who seeks fire”). In was the Buddha who sat on Apostles' heads in the shape of the cloven tongues of fire!
Following the lead of Pope John Paul II, as expressed in his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope, two British authors in their The Jesus Mysteries. Was the ‘Original Jesus’ a Pagan God? (1999) discovered that even Jesus’ teachings were not original, but had been anticipated by the pagan sages. They are in effect saying that Jesus was a Pagan god and that Christianity was a heretical product of paganism. In their opinion, this theory explains the similarities between the stories of Osiris-Dionysus and Jesus Christ. They argue: “Pagan civilization built vast libraries to house hundreds of thousands of works of literary and scientific genius. Its natural philosophers speculated that human beings had evolved from animals. Its astronomers knew that the earth was a sphere, which, along with the planets, revolves around the sun…”
Pauline Christianity turned Great Britain into a Judenrein country; Jews were not allowed to British Isles until Cromwell. Since philosophical evolutionism was smuggled into KJV, evolution became the religious component of the Anglican confession and that explains Darwin's burial at the Westminster Abbey side by side with Newton.
Adrian Desmond, in his Huxley. From Devil's Disciple to Evolution's High Priest. Observed: “Huxley separated Jesus' Nazarene beliefs from the later Christianity fashioned by Paul. Here is the leitmotif of his Natural History of Christianity, if he could write it CHRIST NO CHRISTIAN! The Pauline religion which 'coalesced with the state in the 4th century...is Alexandrian Judaism and Neoplatonist mystigogy.' mixed with 'much of the old idolatry,' and its success owed little to 'the truth' or falsity of the story of Jesus.” And, of course, Newton who turned Jesus into a brain dead gravity was ever present with Huxley as he was with darwin.
Once a visitor chanced on Huxley and Joyce, lying on the floor, moving planetary pellets of paper around a large screwed-up ball of a Sun... There was grandeur in this childish play too.
In the Qumran manuscripts Paul is described as "the Lying adversary," and the "Lying Spouter" who "rejects the Law in the midst of the whole congregation", "the Tongue" and the "Scoffer/Comedian" who "poured over Israel the waters of lying." Paul decreed the everlasting destruction of the whole fabric of the Mosaic Law,
The following excerpt from the book, "The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception" (Corgi Books, London, 1991) by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh raises doubts as to the legitimacy of Paul's role within the early church:
"... Paul is in effect the first Christian heretic, and his teachings, which become the foundation of later Christianity, are a flagrant deviation from the 'Original' or 'pure' form extolled by the leadership. Whether James, the 'Lord's brother,' was literally Jesus' blood kin or not (and everything suggests he was), it is clear that he knew Jesus...personally. So did most of the other members of the community or 'early Church,' in Jerusalem, including of course, Peter. When they spoke, they did so with first hand authority. Paul had never had such personal aquaintance with the figure he'd begun to regard as his 'Saviour.' He had only his quasi-mystical experience in the desert and the sound of a disembodied voice. For him to arrogate authority to himself on this basis is, to say the least, presumptuous. It also leads him to distort Jesus' teachings beyond recognition, to formulate, in fact, his own highly individual and idiosyncratic theology, and then to legitimise it by spuriously ascribing it to Jesus."
This teaching about immortality of the soul is contrary to the basic doctrine of the Hebrew Bible. Truly, unless we read the "Old Testament" kabalistically, it is very little we can learn from it as regards the soul's immortality. The common people among Hebrews had not the slightest idea of soul and spirit, and made no difference between life, blood, and soul, calling the latter the "breath of life." And King James's translators have made such a jumble of it that no one but a kabalist can restore the Bible to its original form. Out of the forty-seven translators of King James I of England’s Bible only three understood Hebrew, and of these two died before the Psalms were translated. The British elites do not condescend to learn the language of the Hebrew slaves, but sometimes the king condescended to eat with the beggars.
Charles Darwin's theory might explain the size of bird beaks on the Galapagos islands but not major evolutionary changes such as the origin of feathered animals. So concluded a conference of 160 biologists that was held at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago back in 1980. In the same year the famous evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould declared Perhaps we [colleagues] should all lie low and rally round the flag of strict Darwinism, at least for the moment --a kind of old-time religion on our part.

From Emperor Titus to R. Dawkins
The now lost portion of the fifth book of Tacitus' Historiae, currently known as Fragment 2 was preserved by the Christian historian Sulpicius Severus in his Chronica 2.30.6-7 (ca. 400-403 CE). This fragment gives the details of the debate within a high-level military council of war called by the Roman army commander Titus just prior to the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in Jerusalem in 70, near the end of the first Jewish revolt against Rome. The debate was over whether or not the Roman army should destroy the Temple.
It is reported that Titus first deliberated, by summoning a council of war, as to whether to destroy a Temple of such workmanship. For it seemed proper to some that a consecrated Temple, distinguished above all that is human, should not be destroyed, as it would serve as a witness to Roman moderation; whereas its destruction would represent a perpetual brand of cruelty.
But others, on the contrary, disagreed - including Titus himself. They argued that the destruction of the Temple was a number one priority in order to destroy completely the religion. For although these religions of the Jews and the Christiani (or superstitiones, as the Romans called alien religious beliefs) are conflicting, they nevertheless developed from the same origins. The Christiani arose from the Jews: With the root removed, the branch [stirps] is easily killed.
In recent projects, R. Dawkins proclaims that his agenda is destruction of religion (similar agenda was expressed by the ultimate Marxist minstrel John Lennon in his song Imagine).
Reading his invectives addressed to the God of the Hebrew Bible, one has impression that the royal scientist sleeps with Tom Paine's The Age of Reason under his bed pillow. R. Dawkins's train of thought doesn't differ much from I. Kant's negative opinion about Judaism which was supposed to justify his radical demand of “the euthanasia of Judaism” which was almost realized in A. Hitler's death camps:
“While it might be possible to imagine individual Jews becoming brothers and sisters in a universal moral religion, it is hard to imagine Judaism itself being reformed in this direction without ceasing to be Judaism. Kant could see no alternative but the disappearance of this messianic faith, which he considered a throwback to a pre-moral age of humanity. He called this historical process, in a singularly unhappy phrase, 'the euthanasia of Judaism.” (Mark Lilla, The Stillborn God. 2007:157)
The distorted images and myths about Jews have been culturally handed down from generation to generation. We know how prevalent they are - the Jewish jokes so-called and the caricatures. In British Columbia during the Lebanese crisis, a newspaper in northern B.C. published a so-called cartoon that showed Begin nailing Lebanon to a cross. A North American production, the American Nazi Party, shows a caricature of a number of people with big noses lined up for a shower. It said, "The only good Jew is a clean Jew. We are back - The American Nazi Party." This is a reprint of a flyer distributed by Neo-Nazis in the mid-U.S. In Psalm 74:8 Israel's enemies make another statement: "They said in their heart, `Let us destroy them altogether. They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land." Israel's enemies did not succeed: Hitler blew his brains out, and Mussolini was hung by the mob. "I will curse those who curse you Abraham."
Indeed, countless cults, states, empires withered like grass; books by the millions are in the graves; “But the Word of God shall stand for ever”. In moments of great crisis they all fail – priests, philosophers, scientists – the prophets alone prevail. “No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own spiritual capacity than his insensitiveness to the Bible. “A ship which looms large in the river seems tiny when on the ocean.” The Greatness of the bible becomes more manifest when studied within the framework of universal history, and its majesty increases with the reader's familiarity.” A.J. Heschel, A Philosophy of Judaism, 1976:243)
Heinrich Heine observed that, Pantheism is a hidden religion of Germany. He was wrong in limiting this pseudo-religion to Germany only. Heliocentrism belongs to the philosophical category called panentheism, i.e. pantheism pushed to an extreme, which sees the cosmos as contained within God, who remains greater than it. The gist of panentheism was expressed by Epimenides (6th century BCE) in a line of his Hymn to Zeus:
“For in thee we live and move and have our being.”
This line was was quoted approvingly by Paul of Tarsus at Acts 17:28 and Titus 1:12. Let me remind here that the Seleucid king Antiochus IV went to war with Alexander's heir in Egypt, Ptolemy VI, and captured Jerusalem. He then proceeded to force the Jews to Hellenize, rededicating the Temple to Zeus (not by chance, on December 25, which, since 354, became the birthday date of the Christian Savior) and insisting that the Jews accept Zeus as Yahweh. Paul's “Christianity” was inspired by this policy; he found a niche for Zeus in the New Testament.
Obviously, as a heliocentrist I. Newton was a pantheist too:In his Principia he based all his speculations upon the "soul of the world," the great universal, magnetic agent, which he called the divine sensorium: "Here the question is of a very subtile spirit which penetrates through all, even the hardest bodies, and which is concealed in their substance. Through the strength and activity of this spirit, bodies attract each other, and adhere together when brought into contact. Through it, electrical bodies operate at the remotest distance, as well as near at hand, attracting and repelling; through this spirit the light also flows, and is refracted and reflected, and warms bodies. All senses are excited by this spirit, and through it the animals move their limbs. But these things cannot be explained in few words, and we have not yet sufficient experience to determine fully the laws by which this universal spirit operates." In the final analysis all motion in the universe is dependent on the activity of a World Soul. In his article De Aere et Aethere Newton identified this spirit with the spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
Since the Nicene Council Jesus became consubstantial i.e. of the same substance as God the Father.
Philosophy is all about questioning the gods' powers over the world and trying to identify a single, natural substance: fire, water, earth, or air, as the primary material of the cosmos. The cosmos of philosophy is all matter in various stages of self-organization. Matter, aliens and huris belong together. Big Bang's expansions and contractions were anticipated by Heraclitus, the greatest pyromaniac of all ages in his Fragment 40.
From the linguistic coincidence that fleece in German (Vliess) is cognate with the verb fliessen, “to flow”, Fictuld draws the conclusion that the Golden Fleece symbolizes philosophical gold, a liquid fiery substance said to flow from the planetary spheres. The substance was also known as the essence of the anima mundi, or soul of the world, supporting the general phenomenon of growth and the infinite potential for life. The Greek name Hermes is taken from an ancient root, herm (cp. Harm al-Sharif), which means the active, or positive, radiant, principle of nature; sometimes translated as “vitality” or “generative force”; and known to ancient freemasonry – or the sons of light, the free “macon” – as “the cosmic fire”, Hiram, and later as Hiram Abif.
In Nicea the personal God of the Bible YHWH was transformed into impersonal energy (Brahma) of the Aryan solar system in which the fundamental Law proclaims that the central point from which all emerged, around and toward which all gravitates, and upon which is hung the philosophy of the rest, is the One homogeneous divine SUBSTANCE-PRINCIPLE, the one radical cause. What was started at the Church Council at Nicea in 325 CE was duly completed in the concentration camps and crematories of Christian Germany where six million Jews perished.” In scientific pantheism science and religion are one.
In a noted address delivered before the 38th Congress of German naturalists at Stettin in 1863, Haeckel offered what could be considered a semi-official manifesto of the Darwinian movement in Germany. In his remarks he proposed not only that evolutionary theory should become the foundation of the science of biology but that its meaning could be extended to a whole new cosmic philosophy that would solve the problems of science as well as reveal the true nature of human history and social institution.
Going much beyond Darwin himself, to define a universal Monist philosophy and a secular religion and aesthetics rooted in evolutionary science that would encompass the laws governing nature, history, and society, and that be replacing the values of the civilization that had been constructed on the foundations of the Judeo-Christian tradition; scientific monism would serve as a basis of the revolutionary transformation of all individual human as well as social existence. R. Dawkins is his apostle in the post-Nazi world.
Haeckelian Monism arrived at the startlingly original and ultimately highly devastating conclusion that virtually all of Western History, the proud edifice of Western Civilization itself, had been, over the course of time, nothing more than an unfortunate error, and that especially for the two millenia that had elapsed since the birth of Christianity, the evolution of Western society and culture had for the most part exemplified a woeful tale of accelerating decadence and decline instigated by the influence of dualistic religious and cultural values – the Haeckelian laying down the gauntlet, in other words, to the self-confidence of European civilization, directly challenging the almost universally held opinion that the history of the West epitomized an impressive legacy of intellectual and cultural achievements that symbolized the triumph of the human spirit. In other words, Haeckel, like Gibbon extolled the virtues of Rome's natural Religion over the moral commandments of the Jewish Torah. Exactly, like R. Dawkins does. (Daniel Gasman, Haeckel's Monism and the Birth of Fascist Ideology.1998, passim)
Gore Vidal, one of the Kennedy clan observed in the spirit of this monist philosophy: Unfortunately, the recent discovery that the sky-god, in his capacity as realtor, had given the Jews, in perpetuity some parcel of unattractive land called Judea and Samaria, has unhinged many of them. I hope this is temporary.
According to Israel Insider on October 29, 2008 at 11:00pm the presidential hopeful B. Obama said at the Rashid Khalidi farewell bash: "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" plus there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis."
On Saturday, 15 May 2010, Al-Arabiya reported that former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal speaking in the name of the Arab world “has given President Obama until September to get things done. He told an audience of businessmen, journalists and diplomats:
"It is not enough to talk the talk. He has to walk the walk," he said. If he does not succeed ... then I ask President Obama to do the morally decent gesture and recognize the Palestinian state that he so ardently wishes to exist. He can then pack up and leave us in peace and let the Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese negotiate directly with the Israelis. No more platitudes and good wishes and visions, please. Five days earlier Al-Arabiya published an article titled Was Israel ever Legitimate?
This ultimatum is self-explanatory, especially in the light of what Israelnews.com reported on August 3, 2009: “He (Barack Obama) sent his no. 2 woman at the White House, Valerie Jarrett, to speak at the racist hate-fest staged over the Fourth of July weekend by the Islamic Society of North America, an unindicted co-conspirator in a case involving the funding of the Hamas terror group. At the ISNA conference, pure hate speech and Islamic anti-Semitism were promoted, and the Obama administration was there.”
Two revealing facts should be reminded in this context: On 26 August 2006 Rice pledged speedy resumption of military aid to Hizballah http://off-topic.internet-haganah.com/archives/000554.html#000554 and on July 25, 2008 avideditor reported: OBAMA will not try to prevent another Holocaust avideditor.wordpress.com/tag/holocaust/
On May 13, 2010 an author writing in the former organ of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party Pravda observed: “It is clear that the measures, which are now being taken to lock the broken pipe, will not bring any result in the nearest future. The pressure of crude and gas is too high, it goes about hundreds of atmospheres. They now hope to contain the leak with the help of steel and concrete domes, but the hopes for that are tiny. It will be extremely difficult to mount the dome: the depth of the gulf is about 1.5 kilometers, and the “orifice” is small. It is impossible to find out what it looks like after the explosion. Crude is supposed to be pumped from the dome to the tanker on the surface of the gulf along a special pipe. “
It is practically impossible to block the leaking well. There are neither specific technical possibilities for that, nor any methods to liquidate such oil-well flowing.
Seven dolphins and over 117 turtles have been washed up dead over the last two weeks on the shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama. While there is no evidence as yet that they are linked to the BP Deepwater disaster, the coincidence is very great.
Should the oil spill prove to be the cause, this could be the tip of the iceberg, especially for the turtle because the five species of sea turtle that inhabit this area are all endangered species.
A Polish proverb says, Without God's help you won't reach even the threshold of your house. Well, keep in mind what the Daily News reported about one of the presidents of the Might Superpower USA: “The Great Communicator is silent now. Robbed of his mind by Alzheimer's disease, Ronald Reagan no longer dress himself, feed himself or speak. He rarely gets out of his bed except to be propped in a wheelchair.” (Daily News, December 4, 2003)
Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
I have set watchmen,
All the day and all the night
They shall never be silent.
Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers,
Take no rest,
And give Him no rest
Till He establishes Jerusalem,
And makes it a praise in the earth. -Is 62:6-7

Archimedes vs. Copernicus
Eureka: Heliocentrism is a hypotheis, not a fact!
Science vs. Religion
In his Arenarius published in Basel (1544) Archimedes mentions Aristarchus's heliocentrism as follows:
...Aristarchus of Samos has set forth writings of certain hypotheses, in which from the things that are established it follows that the universe is many times greater than that now told. For it is proposed that the fixed [ones] of the stars and the sun remain motionless, and that the earth is borne around the sun along the circumference of a circle, [the sun] remaining in the middle of the course, and the sphere of the fixed stars lying around the same center as the sun being of so great a magnitude, that the circle, along which the earth is presumed to be borne, has such a proportion to the distance of the fixed [ones], as the center of the sphere has to the surface...
... Ἀρίσταρχος δὲ ὁ Σάμιος ὑποθέσιών τινῶν ἐξέδωκεν γραφάς, ἐν αἷς ἐκ τῶν ὑποκειμένων συμβαίνει τὸν κόσμον πολλαπλάσιον εἶμεν τοῦ νῦν εἰρημένου. Ὑποτίθεται γὰρ τὰ μὲν ἀπλανέα τῶν ἄστρων καὶ τὸν ἅλιον μένειν ἀκίνητον, τὰν δὲ γᾶν περιφέρεσθαι περὶ τὸν ἅλιον κατὰ κύκλου περιφέρειαν, ὅς ἐστιν ἐν μέσῳ τῷ δρόμῳ κείμενος, τὰν δὲ τῶν ἀπλανέων ἄστρων σφαῖραν περὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κέντρον τῷ ἁλίῳ κειμέναν τῷ μεγέθει τηλικαύταν εἶμεν, ὥστε τὸν κύκλον, καθ᾿ ὃν τὰν γᾶν ὑποτίθεται περιφέρεσθαι, τοιαύταν ἔχειν ἀναλογίαν ποτὶ τὰν τῶν ἀπλανέων ἀποστασίαν, οἵαν ἔχει τὸ κέντρον τᾶς σφαίρας ποτὶ τὰν ἐπιφάνειαν ...
So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it. (Quotation of Nicolaus Copernicus)
Archimedes's saying: “Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the earth.”
is the best evidence that he believed in unmoved earth.
As a Greek patriot, Archimedes was no friend of the Roman Sun-Empire. He invented machines that drove the Roman general Marcellus' army from the walls of Syracuse. He also designed a system of mirrors that concentrated the sun's rays to set enemy ships on fire. A story has it that a Roman soldier ran a sword through him while he was drawing geometrical figures in the sand.
A reference to Aristarchus in the autograph manuscript of Copernicus's De revolutionibus still preserved at the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow referring to the Greek astronomer's cosmology was crossed out before publication. We may safely assume that his reason for the deletion was expressed in the following passage of his dediactory Letter to Pope Paul III published as preface to his book:
“Therefore, having turned over in my mind for a long time this uncertainty of the traditional mathematical methods of calculating the motions of the celestial bodies, I began to grow disgusted that no more consistent scheme of the movements of the mechanism of the universe, set up for our benefit by that best and most law abiding Architect of all things, was agreed upon by philosophers who otherwise investigate so carefully the most minute details of this world. Wherefore I undertook the task of rereading the books of all the philosophers I could get access to, to see whether any one ever was of the opinion that the motions of the celestial bodies were other than those postulated by the men who taught mathematics in the schools. and I found first, indeed, in Cicero, that Niceta perceived that the Earth moved; and afterward in Plutarch I found that some others were of this opinion.” The names he mentioned, and especially these of Cicero and Plutarch prove that “he accepted as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose.”
The Copernican heliocentrism was originally known as Astronomia Pythagorica and Pythagoras was regarded as the founder of the British Masonry and that explains his apellation of God as Architect. In the British Constitution of Freemasons (1723) we find: “And so the first parent created after the image of God, the Great Archirect of the Universe...Spreading the masonic atheist religion was the most important purpose of Copernicus's book.
Roman Empire's Global Solar Religion or, Cuius Regio, eius Religio
In 59 B.C. Cicero, a heliocentrist and therefore a votary of the sun god, explains the reasons why Roman patience might, and would, break down: “Even while Jerusalem was standing and the Jews were at peace with us, the practice of their sacred rites was at variance with the glory of our empire, the dignity of our name, the customs of our ancestors. But now it is even more so, when that nation by its armed resistance has shown what it thinks of our rule. How dear it was to the immortal gods is shown by the fact that it has been conquered, let out for taxes, made slave.” To Cicero the Jews were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti). Understandably, Cicero was vexed by the teaching of the Hebrew Bible which forbade worship of the sun and all other “host of heaven” which also precluded astrology in any form (Dt 4:19)
Augustus’s great victory at the battle of Actium was won in the vicinity of a Temple to Apollo, which he proceeded to restore; Apollo, he claimed had appeared to him at a decisive moment in the battle. After the victory, Augustus built the Temple of Apollo on the Palatine in Rome, and added to it two fine libraries of Greek and Latin books, and a portico in which Greek sculpture was displayed. He transferred to the new temple the Sibylline Books from the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol, and deposited them under the cult statue of Apollo in two gilt coffers. Apollo was a God of restraint, sexual moderation and homosexuality (as exemplified in his love for Hyacinth). In 6 CE Augustus added Judea, Samaria and Idumea to the Roman province of Syria. Christianity was born and developed in a part of Greater Syria called Palestine. And that explains maniacal attempts of John Paul II at establishing an “independent” Palestinian state.
Augustus did all he could to make men feel that the god Apollo had left Greece for Rome and had brought with him the spiritual and cultural leadership of the world, like the Apollo Program was supposed to bring this leadership to the USA. At least President Johnson entertained such a belief.
There was a widespread expectation current through much of earlier part of the century, that a new era which would be a second Golden Age was about to begin. Jesus of the Fourth Gospel is a son of the Cosmic Virgin, representative of “a new race descended from Heaven on high,” foretold by Virgil in his “Fourth Eclogue”. (A graffiti found in a Libyan necropolis praises Jesus as “Father who brought down the golden generation,” or “children of light”/sun in the language of the Gospel of John). Well, the Father and Patron Saint of the British masonry, Pythagoras was said to be the son of Apollo and a mortal woman called Parthenia, whose name derives from the word parthenos, meaning ‘virgin’.
“All-nurturing Sun” is praised by Horace and in Virgil’s Aeneid we find “Sun, whose fires lighten all the works of the world.” And this tradition was continued forever; Nero built his Golden House and prefaced it with a colossus 120 feet high, bearing the likeness of his head haloed with solar rays that identified him with Apollo. Septimus Severus took as his wife Julia Domna, daughter of the High Priest of Emesa because the sun cult of this city and the huge architectural precinct at Baalbek (Heliopolis) attracted pilgrims from far and wide. In many ancient pictures of the Saviour in Italy, the words “Deo Soli” are inscribed, which signify alike “the only God,” and “the God Sol (Invictus).”
A short passage from Pliny's Natural History proves that in Rome as in ancient Babylonia heliocentrism was the religion of the Empire to which all conquered nations should pay their obeisance as it was later expressed in Emperor Septimus Severus's doctrine of the limited Sovereignty: Rome wanted to bring all his subjects together under the worship of Sol Invictus – the Unconquered Sun – and to subsume under that worship all the various religions and philosophies then current. All gods were to be accepted, as long as one acknowledged the Sun. His predecessor, emperor Elagabalus of Syrian provenience (an open gay) wanted to secure the triumph of the sun god of Emesa worshiped under the name Elagabal (i.e. the Highest God) over all religions of the earth.
The following passage presents Pliny's very Copernican heliocentrism:“Upheld by the same vapor between earth and heaven, at definite spaces apart, hang the seven stars which owing to their motion we call 'planets,' although no stars wander less than they do. In the midst of these moves the sun, whose magnitude and power are the greatest, and who is the ruler not only of the seasons and of the lands, but even of the stars themselves and of the heaven. Taking into account all that he effects, we must believe him to be the soul, or more precisely the mind, of the whole world, the supreme ruling principle and divinity of nature. He furnishes the world with light and removes darkness, he obscures and he illumines the rest of the stars, he regulates in accord with nature's precedent the changes of the seasons and the continuous re-birth of the year, he dissipates the gloom of heaven and even calms the storm-clouds of the mind of man, he lends his light to the rest of the stars also; he is glorious and pre-eminent, all-seeing and even all-hearing – this, I observe, that Homer the prince of literature held to be true in the case of the sun alone.”(2-1)
The conflict between the pagan votaries of the sun god and the Jewish worshipers of YHWH started long before the Romans conquered the Jewish state. The blood started to flow with what was described by the horrified chronicler of I Maccabees as a sacrilege: “On th 15th day of Chislev in the year 145” – in the reckoning of the Seleucid dynasty (that is, On 25th Dec. of 167 B.C) – “the king set the Abomination of Desolation on the altar of holocausts”.
This things was a statue of Olympian Zeus, king of the Greek gods (also known in Asia Minor as Baal, for the Greeks were happy to have their gods take local names), now given pride of place in the Temple of the Living God and defiling both the Temple and the Jewish people with unimaginable sacrilege. Whoever objected, whoever persisted in the old, exclusive ways, whoever had her children circumcised, whoever refused to perform his civic duty and make sacrifices in the customary manner to the pantheon of gods, was put to the sword – mothers with their circumcised infants “hung round their necks.” The new order was publicized as the triumph of reason over backwardness and superstition The 19th century rector of the Cracow University where Copernicus studied was a member of the Masonic Lodge called “The Superstition Defeated”. It was “defeated” in Auschwitz and elsewhere, like it is now being defeated in the United Nations being run by the disciples of Alice Bailey.
The Jews would never recognize the superiority of the pagan sun god (Baal or whatever his name) over their national God YHWH even though their belief was branded as irrational superstition by the terrorist propaganda which was revived by the Roman church in the wake of the “scientific” triumph of Copernicanism. The Renaissance Copernicanism was, to a large extent, foreshadowed by the favorable opinion of Plutarch about the Syrian astrologer Seleucus of Seleukia who allegedly proved the heliocentric scheme of the Greek Pythagorean Aristarchus of Samos, the Greek island where also Pythagoras was born of the virgin mother Parthenia who was impregnated, like mother of emperor Augustus, Atia, by the sun god Apollo. Plutarch was a priest of Apollo in his most famous Delphic oracle, which could be compared to the present Catholic pilgrimage sites such as Fatima, Czestochowa and Lourdes. Sybil or a “prophetess” of Apollo proclaimed in a very convoluted languages the sun god inspired answers to the questions posed by pilgrims. (Seleucos prins opinion d’affermer la terre veritablement autour des poles se mouuoir non le ciel – Rabelais, Pantagruel, Book V, ch. 25 (1552).
Diocletian consulted the Didyma oracle regarding the growing Christian Church. The oracle advised the Augusti to move against the group and thus began the great persecution associated with Diocletian. The Christians renouncing the gods and the institutions of Rome had constituted a distinct republic. The magistrates interrupted their assembles and delivered their sacred books to the flames. (Recall that reading of the Bible was punishable by death in the Papal Empire as it is nowadays in Saudi Arabia). Evidence is growing that the priestesses, known as Pythia, were ripped on hydrocarbon gases, especially ethylene, a sometime anesthetic which, taken in modest doses, can induce lively conversation of a somewhat incoherent nature (like speculations of R. Dawkins in his The God Delusion).
This is because the Temple of Apollo at Delphi sits on crisscrossing geological faults, according to a team of scientists led by archaeologist John Hale of the University of Louisville and geologist Jelle Zeilinga de Boer of Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Set in trance by intoxicants emanated from water bubbling from a rock fissure beneath the temple,the priests and oracle were deceiving the public and inventing stories to boost the shrine's importance. The same effect was produced, centuries later, by the use of LSD. Most of the time, the priestess was conscious, clever and chatty, but on occasion she flipped out, and things got nasty. The bad trips, including a death reported by Plutarch, had led past Delphi administrators to swap out the young maidens they used to put in the seat for more levelheaded matrons.
Let me remind in this context a passage from John Locke's, Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690):
“Vague and insignificant forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science, and hard or misspelled words, with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance, and hindrance of true knowledge.” This is how he characterized the language of the modern heliocentricsts.
Plutarch or The Mind of the Apollo Priest
Apollo is sometimes depicted like the Buddha, with a swastika on his chest or in a chariot with swastika wheels.
The Suda Lexicon (a Greek Dictionary dating c. A.D. 1000), mentions that emperor Trajan bestowed the high rank of an ex-consul upon him. According to a 4th-century church historian Eusebius, emperor Hadrian made Plutarch governor of Greece. A Delphic inscription reveals that he possessed Roman citizenship; his nomen of family name, Nestrius, was no doubt adopted from his friend Lucius Mestrius Florus, a Roman consul.
It comes as no surprise than that between 16th century and the early 19th this collaborator of the Romans, thanks to Jesuits, became one of the most popular of classical authors in Europe. His writings were long used as source books for anecdotes and moral exampla; they influenced the origins and development of the essay, the biography, and the writing history, and it was from his Parallel Lives that the generally accepted images of the great historical figures of Greece and Rome were derived.
Plutarch's works were introduced to Italy by Byzantine scholars along with the revival of classical learning in the 15th century, and Italian humanists had already translated them into Latin before 1509, when his Moralia appeared in Venice published by the celebrated Aldine Press. Like the Renaissance philosophers Plutarch
believed in in the superiority of Greek heliocentric culture and in the meritoriousness and providential character of the Roman Empire.
According to Lucio Russo, Seleucus' arguments for a heliocentric theory were probably related to the phenomenon of tides. (Wiki) He anticipated Galileo in this respect. Seleucus theorized that tides were caused by the Moon, although he believed that the interaction was mediated by the pneuma (in Kepler's system it was mediated by demons). He noted that the tides varied in time and strength in different parts of the world. According to Strabo (1.1.9), Seleucus was the first to state that the tides are due to the attraction of the Moon, and that the height of the tides depends on the Moon's position relative to the Sun.
The Greek verb ‘apodeiknumi’ used by Plutarch is cognate with the theological concept of dogma. Statements of speculative philosophy (‘knowledge of good and evil’) were termed by Latin writers decreta, scita, placita, axiomata, enunciata, effata. Cicero replaced all these terms by one: dogmata. Inquisition was not an invention of Catholic Church; already Plato wanted to defend his dogmas with the help of such an institution. Two German adjectives ‘apodiktisch’ and 'unfehlbar’ (infallible) are synonymous. Copernicus in his dedicatory letter to Pope Paul III published as a preface to his book appealed to the Vatican absolute monarch to silence all those who would dare criticize his book, with his infallible judgment.
The great difference between the Greek conception of nature and later ones is that the Greeks thought of the universe as analogous to a city-state, so that for them natural laws, like human laws, were not laws of things, descriptions of how in fact they behave, but laws for things. When we speak of a falling body “obeying” the law of gravitation, we are unconsciously echoing Greek thought; for obedience implies the possibility of disobedience (like swerving). To the Greeks this was no dead metaphor; consequently, their problem was not the relation of Mind to Matter, but of Substance to Form, how matter became “educated” enough, so to speak, to conform to law they were imposing. In other words they were trying to train matter like the circus performers were training their animals, or like the ancient Magi who ruled the world by their incantations. Newton was called by his last biographer The Last Sorcerer.
Hipparchus was able to reject the model in favor of the earth centered epicycles. The Ptolemaic system, formulated in the 2nd century, which, though considered incorrect today, still manages to calculate the correct positions for the planets to a very useful degree of accuracy. It is interesting to note that Ptolemy, himself, in his Almagest points out that any model for describing the motions of the planets is merely a mathematical device, and, since there is no actual way to know which is true, the simplest model that gets the right numbers should be used.
In 1820 Canon Giuseppe Settele, professor of astronomy in Rome and Washington, had written an elementary book in which the Copernican system was taken for granted, as a fact. On the 16th of August, 1820, the Congregation of the Holy Office (Inquisition) decided that Settele might teach the Copernican system as established, and this decision was approved byPope Pius VII. Fifty years later professor Settele was excommunicated. Professor Settele got his title only when he took an oath of fidelity to Napoleon, believed to be a new Apollo. Heliocentrism recognized by Pope Pius VII as 'a fact' was anathematized by Vatican Council I:
"Let him be ANATHEMA . . . who shall say that human Sciences ought to be pursued in such a spirit of freedom that one may be allowed to hold as true their assertions even when opposed to revealed doctrines." -- Ecumenical Council of 1870. See below the Annex about the Papal Oath.
The Syrian Christians vs. Judeo-Christians
The heliocentric scheme of Seleucus became the bone of contention between the early factions of the nascent Christianity. The canonical Gospel of Luke 2:46 relates Jesus lecturing the rabbis in the Jerusalem Temple: “And they (Joseph and Mary) found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, now hearing to them and asking them questions, And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.”
Well, Verse 51 of the Syrian version (Peshitta) of Luke 2 elaborates this incident in such a way that it will be reverberating throughout the following centuries:
“And philosopher who was there present, a skillful astronomer, asked Jesus the Lord whether he studied astronomy. And the Lord Jesus answered him and explained the number of the spheres, and of the heavenly bodies, their nature and operations, their oppositions; their aspects, triangular, square and sextile; their course, direct or retrograde; the twenty-four and sixtieth of twenty-fourths, and other things beyond the reach of reason.”
This Syrian version of the incident in the Temple matches the same event as described in the deutero-canonical Coptic biography of Jesus known as The Letter of Benan purchased in the 19th century by German baron von Rabenau and published in 1910 by Ernst von der Planitz as Der Benanbrief .
A far-famed Egyptian astronomer named Putiphra dispatched the High Priest Ranebchru to the land of the Hebrews (he did not call it Palestine! Interestingly, there is no name Palestine in the Koran either!) to learn the meaning of the appearance of the new star, Siriu, or The Scorching One. In Betlehem he found a child born in a cave the very moment Siriu appeared in the heavens. Ranebchru promised his parents that the child will be raised under the tutelage of the great astronomer Putiphra and Pinehas rabbi of the Jewish temple in nearby On (an early example of ecumenism). When Putiphra died 12 years later Jesus returned to his parents in Nazareth. During his visit to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover he lectured in the temple all the learned doctors and rabbis on the principles of heliocentric astronomy and on the interstellar mysteries, inspired by the heliocentrisc system of Seleucus.
“A learned astronomer was present in the assembly at the temple, and he arose and asked Jesus: 'What do you know about astronomy?' Jesus without hesitation or faltering, explained the number of spheres and the heavenly bodies, and the meaning of their numbers; he expounded on their different natures and operations; he defined their aspects, triangular, square or sextile; he interpreted their course, direct or retrograde; he gave the motion of the planets each day, and each hour of the day; and he ended with a commentary on the interstellar mysteries beyond the reach of reason. And the astronomer turned and asked: “Pray, who can that be.” But this stuff was not included in the canonical Gospels.
It is of utmost religious importance that this lecture as related in the Syrian Peshitta was not included in the canonical Gospels. John Paul II by his rehabilitation of two philosophical doctrines took side with the Assyrian Church of the East and other Aramaic-speaking churches that have historically claimed that the Peshitta is the original text of the New Testament. With the rise of the Internet, Aramaic primacists began to pool arguments in favor of their case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_primacy). In the Vatican's policy, the vision of Syro-Palestine on the ruins of Israel has the same priority as in the era of emperor Hadrian. Copernicus book is rooted in this Syrian Christianity which also portrays Jesus in the so-called Gospel of Marcion as an alien, and the God of the Hebrew Bible as a murderer and a liar. (Cp. John 8:44)
Copernicus in the Bigger Picture
The story of the acquisition of the Sibylline Books by Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the semi-legendary last king of the Roman Kingdom, is one of the famous mythic elements of Roman history. Centuries ago, concurrent with the Fiftieth Olympiad and the Founding of the City of Rome, an old woman arrived incognita in Rome. She came to see King Tarquin. The Cumaean Sibyl offered nine books of prophecies to King Tarquin...
In the Middle Ages both the Cumaean Sibyl and Vergil were considered prophets of the birth of Christ because the fourth of Vergil's Eclogues appears to contain a Messianic prophecy by the Sibyl, and this was seized on by early Christians as such - one reason why Dante later chose Vergil as his guide through the underworld and Michelangelo chose to feature the Cumaean Sibyl in the Sistine Chapel as prominently as the Old Testament prophets. Constantine, the Christian emperor, in his first address to the assembly of Saints, interpreted the whole of the eclogue as a reference to the coming of Christ and quoted a long passage of the Sibylline Book (Book 8) containing an acrostic in which the initials from a series of verses read:
Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour Cross.
the Sibylla Cimmeria carried a cross;
on the Tibur, Sibylla Tibertina was dressed in animal skins and
carried the fascista bundle of rods.
Sibylla Phrygia carried a banner and prophesied resurrection.
Behind the Rehabilitation of Heliocentrism
Greek poet, Angelos Sikelianos (1884-1951) in his tragedy Sibyl had conceived the ambitious plan of the amalgamation of all of humanity centering on Delphi, where he had envisioned to revive the ancient celebrations, transforming the oracle into a spiritual center of the entire world. In this vision all of creation is a Sibylline, massive Temple, where all may enter from all ways. The center is Christ. But the guides are Dionysus and Apollo. A deeper secret strand guides from the allegories of the ancient Greek sanctuaries – of Eleusina and Delphi – to Christianity. The moon landing program codenamed Apollo was actually a religious “pilgrimage”. The marriage of Jacqueline Kennedy to the Greek ship magnate Onassis belonged to the same religious scheme.
Malachi Martin, a former Jesuit professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome in his book The Jesuits reminisces that in the 1960 there was a lot of talk about refashioning a Jesus into a beautiful Apollo which was epitomized in John Paul II's rehabilitation of the Apolline heliocentrism. This rehabilitation was also rehabilitation of Apolline sexual mores. Andrew M. Greeley wrote in 1989: “Blatantly active homosexual priests are appointed; transferred and promoted…National networks of active homosexual priests are tolerated. Pedophiles are reassigned.” Tatian in his Address to the Greeks observed regarding the sex practices in the nation under the sun god Apollo: “pederasty is condemned by the Barbarians, but by Romans, who endeavor to collect herds of boys like grazing horses, it is honoured with certain privileges.” Remember that it is in Plato more consistently and more convincingly than anywhere else in Greek thought that pederasty is exalted from the status of a sexual outlet to a philosophical system claiming access to divinity. Extolling the scientific value of heliocentrism meant the denigration of the knowledge contained in the Hebrew Bible and a fortiori the rejection of its condemnation of homosexual practices.
This was the same route by which male homosexuality came so strongly to feature in the intellectual life of Britain in the later decades of the 19th century. Education in the classics, such as boys and young men received from older men in the nation’s public schools and universities was also an education in the possibility of pederasty. And this method is being observed in the Catholic seminaries where the collections of the Vatican Museum are studied, and probably acted on. Such an education also changed the perception of the whole body of religious teaching. The emotions of a certain Gerard Manley Hopkins, a student at Balliol College, Oxford, in 1863 reflect in the best possible way the change the traditional religion underwent in the process of “scientific” Apolline education; he often found himself becoming excited at the sight of a well-carved body of Christ on a crucifix, and he was often dismayed to find that he was becoming sexually excited when trying to meditate in a more spiritual vein on the events of Christ’s Passion. Pondering why Pope John Paul II excommunicated the women ordained in Austria, one should keep in mind that for Aristotle females never reached “full rationality”, but rather they “vegetated” in slower fetal development. It was a typical philosophical misogyny proclaimed “infallibly” side by side with the dogma about heavenly superiority of the pedophile love. The female orgasm not a female spirituality is the focus of John Paul II's Theology of the Body.
The writer of the Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia makes the spirit to raise up from the dead a pagan called Boes, who had been dead two hundred years, and who told Dadianus, the governor that he had been on earth a worshiper of the “stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.” Whereas the gods of Olympus, including Apollo, tirelessly pursued beautiful boys, like Ganymede or women, the God of Sinai watched over widows and orphans. We are, indeed, privileged that we are not living in a world exploded by Big Bang. But Jewish Christianity was not on the books of pope John Paul II.
The destruction of the Biblical Creation Model began over 450 years ago with the gradual acceptance of the Copernican Model of the "solar system" and the subsequent total rejection of the Biblical geocentrism. In his new book, Pagans In The Pews, Peter Jones does a truly jam-up job of demonstrating how a sweeping revival of idolatrous Paganism is on the march worldwide and even in Christian Churches. Anyone not aware of this phenomenon will get their eyes opened very wide by Jones’ well-documented, in-depth coverage of this cleverly disguised but very, very major development. Consider for example: The radical environmental "Mother Earth" syndrome, which is wholly committed to and dependent upon an unqualified acceptance of macro-evolutionism or what is considered Aryan Science.
The devotion of Constantine who is believed to have been the first Christian emperor was more peculiarly directed to the genius of the Sun, the Apollo of Greek and Roman mythology; and he was pleased to be represented with the symbols of the God of Light and Poetry. The altars of Apollo were crowned with the votive offerings of Constantine. The Sun was universally celebrated as the invincible guide and protector of Constantine. After he defeated his wife’s father, Maxmian at Marseilles in 310 Constantine’s fortunes were already being raised to the divine. On his way back to Trier from Marseilles, he stopped at the pagan temple in Autun a moment before the oracle that Eusebius enshrines: “O Constantine, you saw, I believe, your protector Apollo, in company with Victory, offering you laurel crowns…You really saw the god, and recognized yourself in the appearance of one to whom the prophecies of poets have declared that the rule of the whole world should belong.” News of this vision, with its implication of heavenly anointing by Apollo, who was identified with the sun god, would have been spread far and wide by Constantine’s panegyrists.
On the cover of John Paul II's The Roman Triptych Michael Angelo's Libyan Sibyl from the Sistine Chapel is reproduced. Well, it is a well-known fact from the Church history that the Christian fathers and their followers made themselves so ridiculous by their fatuous faith in the Sibyls that they were derisively called “Sibyllists” by the Pagans.
(http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/joseph_wheless/forgery_in_christianity/chapter_...). These “Sibyllists were so deeply anti-Semitic that they rejected the Jewish Scriptures as the prefigurement of the Christian faith and embraced instead the “prophecy” of Erythrean Sibyl. A Jewish Sibylline Oracle of the period predicts the coming of a man from the sky who will cause the sun to stand still, as Joshua had done, and The Epistle Barnabas 12:8 also links Jesus with Joshua. Copernicus's vision of the universe as a huge temple with the sun in the middle so it could enlighten everything at the same time was inspired by the Jewish Sibylline Oracles 4:8-11, of around 100 C.E.
And it was revealed to me, brothers, while I was sleeping, by a most beautiful young man speaking to me, “The old lady, from whom you have received the book, who do you think she is?” I replied, “The Sibyl.” “You are wrong,” he said, “she is not.” “Then, who is she?” I asked. He replied, “She is the Church.” Shepherd of Hermas, Vis II.iv.1 ( D. P. O’BRIEN, The Cumaean Sibyl as the Revelation-bearer in the Shepherd of Hermas, 473 Journal of Early Christian Studies 5:4, 473–496 © 1997 The Johns Hopkins University Press)
Although he never lived, Hermes Trismegistus was no shadowy charlatan, but a key figure in Renaissance culture, allegedly chosen to receive God's wisdom at the beginning of human history. By the end of the 15th century Hermes Trismegistus had become absorbed within Renaissance religion. His was prominently portrayed in the mosaic floor of Siena cathedral, sporting a pointed Turban and a sage's beard, and flanked by Greek Sibyls prophesying Christ arrival. At Florence cathedral a canon called Marsilio Ficino translated his supposed writings, which had been randomly grouped together by a monk collecting Greek manuscripts for the Medicis. Ficino interpreted the incoherent mixture of Hermetic texts that he had inherited as ancient Egyptians revelations foretelling the truth of Christianity. Ficino was also studying the works of Plato and other Greek writers that had recently arrived from the Islamic Empire, and he amalgamated these disparate ancient sources to produce his own version of Renaissance Neoplatonism – a philosophical blend of Platonic, Christian, and magical ideas. (Patricia Fara, Science.Four Thousand Year History.Oxford University Press. 2009, p.102)
Ficino's and Pico's neoplatonism became embedded within scientific thought. For instance, Copernicus is regarded as a founding figure in science because of two major innovations – placing the sun at the centre of the Universe, and insisting on a mathematical approach to the cosmos. These were both neoplatonic ideals. Like Hermes Trismegistus, Copernicus regarded the sun as God made visible, and he reintroduced the geometrical cosmologies of Plato and Pythagoras that had been revived by magi. (ib. p.103)
Science vs. Religion
In his Arenarius published in Basel (1544) Archimedes mentions Aristarchus's heliocentrism as follows:
...Aristarchus of Samos has set forth writings of certain hypotheses, in which from the things that are established it follows that the universe is many times greater than that now told. For it is proposed that the fixed [ones] of the stars and the sun remain motionless, and that the earth is borne around the sun along the circumference of a circle, [the sun] remaining in the middle of the course, and the sphere of the fixed stars lying around the same center as the sun being of so great a magnitude, that the circle, along which the earth is presumed to be borne, has such a proportion to the distance of the fixed [ones], as the center of the sphere has to the surface...
... Ἀρίσταρχος δὲ ὁ Σάμιος ὑποθέσιών τινῶν ἐξέδωκεν γραφάς, ἐν αἷς ἐκ τῶν ὑποκειμένων συμβαίνει τὸν κόσμον πολλαπλάσιον εἶμεν τοῦ νῦν εἰρημένου.

So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it. (Quotation of Nicolaus Copernicus)
Archimedes's saying: “Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the earth.”
is the best evidence that he believed in unmoved earth.
As a Greek patriot, Archimedes was no friend of the Roman Sun-Empire. He invented machines that drove the Roman general Marcellus' army from the walls of Syracuse. He also designed a system of mirrors that concentrated the sun's rays to set enemy ships on fire. A story has it that a Roman soldier ran a sword through him while he was drawing geometrical figures in the sand.
A reference to Aristarchus in the autograph manuscript of Copernicus's De revolutionibus still preserved at the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow referring to the Greek astronomer's cosmology was crossed out before publication. We may safely assume that his reason for the deletion was expressed in the following passage of his dediactory Letter to Pope Paul III published as preface to his book:
“Therefore, having turned over in my mind for a long time this uncertainty of the traditional mathematical methods of calculating the motions of the celestial bodies, I began to grow disgusted that no more consistent scheme of the movements of the mechanism of the universe, set up for our benefit by that best and most law abiding Architect of all things, was agreed upon by philosophers who otherwise investigate so carefully the most minute details of this world. Wherefore I undertook the task of rereading the books of all the philosophers I could get access to, to see whether any one ever was of the opinion that the motions of the celestial bodies were other than those postulated by the men who taught mathematics in the schools. and I found first, indeed, in Cicero, that Niceta perceived that the Earth moved; and afterward in Plutarch I found that some others were of this opinion.” The names he mentioned, and especially these of Cicero and Plutarch prove that “he accepted as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose.”
The Copernican heliocentrism was originally known as Astronomia Pythagorica and Pythagoras was regarded as the founder of the British Masonry and that explains his apellation of God as Architect. In the British Constitution of Freemasons (1723) we find: “And so the first parent created after the image of God, the Great Archirect of the Universe...Spreading the masonic atheist religion was the most important purpose of Copernicus's book.
Roman Empire's Global Solar Religion or, Cuius Regio, eius Religio
In 59 B.C. Cicero, a heliocentrist and therefore a votary of the sun god, explains the reasons why Roman patience might, and would, break down: “Even while Jerusalem was standing and the Jews were at peace with us, the practice of their sacred rites was at variance with the glory of our empire, the dignity of our name, the customs of our ancestors. But now it is even more so, when that nation by its armed resistance has shown what it thinks of our rule. How dear it was to the immortal gods is shown by the fact that it has been conquered, let out for taxes, made slave.” To Cicero the Jews were a nation born to servitude (nationibus nati servituti). Understandably, Cicero was vexed by the teaching of the Hebrew Bible which forbade worship of the sun and all other “host of heaven” which also precluded astrology in any form (Dt 4:19)
Augustus’s great victory at the battle of Actium was won in the vicinity of a Temple to Apollo, which he proceeded to restore; Apollo, he claimed had appeared to him at a decisive moment in the battle. After the victory, Augustus built the Temple of Apollo on the Palatine in Rome, and added to it two fine libraries of Greek and Latin books, and a portico in which Greek sculpture was displayed. He transferred to the new temple the Sibylline Books from the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol, and deposited them under the cult statue of Apollo in two gilt coffers. Apollo was a God of restraint, sexual moderation and homosexuality (as exemplified in his love for Hyacinth). In 6 CE Augustus added Judea, Samaria and Idumea to the Roman province of Syria. Christianity was born and developed in a part of Greater Syria called Palestine. And that explains maniacal attempts of John Paul II at establishing an “independent” Palestinian state.
Augustus did all he could to make men feel that the god Apollo had left Greece for Rome and had brought with him the spiritual and cultural leadership of the world, like the Apollo Program was supposed to bring this leadership to the USA. At least President Johnson entertained such a belief.
There was a widespread expectation current through much of earlier part of the century, that a new era which would be a second Golden Age was about to begin. Jesus of the Fourth Gospel is a son of the Cosmic Virgin, representative of “a new race descended from Heaven on high,” foretold by Virgil in his “Fourth Eclogue”. (A graffiti found in a Libyan necropolis praises Jesus as “Father who brought down the golden generation,” or “children of light”/sun in the language of the Gospel of John). Well, the Father and Patron Saint of the British masonry, Pythagoras was said to be the son of Apollo and a mortal woman called Parthenia, whose name derives from the word parthenos, meaning ‘virgin’.
“All-nurturing Sun” is praised by Horace and in Virgil’s Aeneid we find “Sun, whose fires lighten all the works of the world.” And this tradition was continued forever; Nero built his Golden House and prefaced it with a colossus 120 feet high, bearing the likeness of his head haloed with solar rays that identified him with Apollo. Septimus Severus took as his wife Julia Domna, daughter of the High Priest of Emesa because the sun cult of this city and the huge architectural precinct at Baalbek (Heliopolis) attracted pilgrims from far and wide. In many ancient pictures of the Saviour in Italy, the words “Deo Soli” are inscribed, which signify alike “the only God,” and “the God Sol (Invictus).”
A short passage from Pliny's Natural History proves that in Rome as in ancient Babylonia heliocentrism was the religion of the Empire to which all conquered nations should pay their obeisance as it was later expressed in Emperor Septimus Severus's doctrine of the limited Sovereignty: Rome wanted to bring all his subjects together under the worship of Sol Invictus – the Unconquered Sun – and to subsume under that worship all the various religions and philosophies then current. All gods were to be accepted, as long as one acknowledged the Sun. His predecessor, emperor Elagabalus of Syrian provenience (an open gay) wanted to secure the triumph of the sun god of Emesa worshiped under the name Elagabal (i.e. the Highest God) over all religions of the earth.
The following passage presents Pliny's very Copernican heliocentrism:“Upheld by the same vapor between earth and heaven, at definite spaces apart, hang the seven stars which owing to their motion we call 'planets,' although no stars wander less than they do. In the midst of these moves the sun, whose magnitude and power are the greatest, and who is the ruler not only of the seasons and of the lands, but even of the stars themselves and of the heaven. Taking into account all that he effects, we must believe him to be the soul, or more precisely the mind, of the whole world, the supreme ruling principle and divinity of nature. He furnishes the world with light and removes darkness, he obscures and he illumines the rest of the stars, he regulates in accord with nature's precedent the changes of the seasons and the continuous re-birth of the year, he dissipates the gloom of heaven and even calms the storm-clouds of the mind of man, he lends his light to the rest of the stars also; he is glorious and pre-eminent, all-seeing and even all-hearing – this, I observe, that Homer the prince of literature held to be true in the case of the sun alone.”(2-1)
The conflict between the pagan votaries of the sun god and the Jewish worshipers of YHWH started long before the Romans conquered the Jewish state. The blood started to flow with what was described by the horrified chronicler of I Maccabees as a sacrilege: “On th 15th day of Chislev in the year 145” – in the reckoning of the Seleucid dynasty (that is, On 25th Dec. of 167 B.C) – “the king set the Abomination of Desolation on the altar of holocausts”.
This things was a statue of Olympian Zeus, king of the Greek gods (also known in Asia Minor as Baal, for the Greeks were happy to have their gods take local names), now given pride of place in the Temple of the Living God and defiling both the Temple and the Jewish people with unimaginable sacrilege. Whoever objected, whoever persisted in the old, exclusive ways, whoever had her children circumcised, whoever refused to perform his civic duty and make sacrifices in the customary manner to the pantheon of gods, was put to the sword – mothers with their circumcised infants “hung round their necks.” The new order was publicized as the triumph of reason over backwardness and superstition The 19th century rector of the Cracow University where Copernicus studied was a member of the Masonic Lodge called “The Superstition Defeated”. It was “defeated” in Auschwitz and elsewhere, like it is now being defeated in the United Nations being run by the disciples of Alice Bailey.
The Jews would never recognize the superiority of the pagan sun god (Baal or whatever his name) over their national God YHWH even though their belief was branded as irrational superstition by the terrorist propaganda which was revived by the Roman church in the wake of the “scientific” triumph of Copernicanism. The Renaissance Copernicanism was, to a large extent, foreshadowed by the favorable opinion of Plutarch about the Syrian astrologer Seleucus of Seleukia who allegedly proved the heliocentric scheme of the Greek Pythagorean Aristarchus of Samos, the Greek island where also Pythagoras was born of the virgin mother Parthenia who was impregnated, like mother of emperor Augustus, Atia, by the sun god Apollo. Plutarch was a priest of Apollo in his most famous Delphic oracle, which could be compared to the present Catholic pilgrimage sites such as Fatima, Czestochowa and Lourdes. Sybil or a “prophetess” of Apollo proclaimed in a very convoluted languages the sun god inspired answers to the questions posed by pilgrims. (Seleucos prins opinion d’affermer la terre veritablement autour des poles se mouuoir non le ciel – Rabelais, Pantagruel, Book V, ch. 25 (1552).
Diocletian consulted the Didyma oracle regarding the growing Christian Church. The oracle advised the Augusti to move against the group and thus began the great persecution associated with Diocletian. The Christians renouncing the gods and the institutions of Rome had constituted a distinct republic. The magistrates interrupted their assembles and delivered their sacred books to the flames. (Recall that reading of the Bible was punishable by death in the Papal Empire as it is nowadays in Saudi Arabia). Evidence is growing that the priestesses, known as Pythia, were ripped on hydrocarbon gases, especially ethylene, a sometime anesthetic which, taken in modest doses, can induce lively conversation of a somewhat incoherent nature (like speculations of R. Dawkins in his The God Delusion).
This is because the Temple of Apollo at Delphi sits on crisscrossing geological faults, according to a team of scientists led by archaeologist John Hale of the University of Louisville and geologist Jelle Zeilinga de Boer of Wesleyan University in Connecticut. Set in trance by intoxicants emanated from water bubbling from a rock fissure beneath the temple,the priests and oracle were deceiving the public and inventing stories to boost the shrine's importance. The same effect was produced, centuries later, by the use of LSD. Most of the time, the priestess was conscious, clever and chatty, but on occasion she flipped out, and things got nasty. The bad trips, including a death reported by Plutarch, had led past Delphi administrators to swap out the young maidens they used to put in the seat for more levelheaded matrons.
Let me remind in this context a passage from John Locke's, Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690):
“Vague and insignificant forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science, and hard or misspelled words, with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance, and hindrance of true knowledge.” This is how he characterized the language of the modern heliocentricsts.
Plutarch or The Mind of the Apollo Priest
Apollo is sometimes depicted like the Buddha, with a swastika on his chest or in a chariot with swastika wheels.
The Suda Lexicon (a Greek Dictionary dating c. A.D. 1000), mentions that emperor Trajan bestowed the high rank of an ex-consul upon him. According to a 4th-century church historian Eusebius, emperor Hadrian made Plutarch governor of Greece. A Delphic inscription reveals that he possessed Roman citizenship; his nomen of family name, Nestrius, was no doubt adopted from his friend Lucius Mestrius Florus, a Roman consul.
It comes as no surprise than that between 16th century and the early 19th this collaborator of the Romans, thanks to Jesuits, became one of the most popular of classical authors in Europe. His writings were long used as source books for anecdotes and moral exampla; they influenced the origins and development of the essay, the biography, and the writing history, and it was from his Parallel Lives that the generally accepted images of the great historical figures of Greece and Rome were derived.
Plutarch's works were introduced to Italy by Byzantine scholars along with the revival of classical learning in the 15th century, and Italian humanists had already translated them into Latin before 1509, when his Moralia appeared in Venice published by the celebrated Aldine Press. Like the Renaissance philosophers Plutarch
believed in in the superiority of Greek heliocentric culture and in the meritoriousness and providential character of the Roman Empire.
According to Lucio Russo, Seleucus' arguments for a heliocentric theory were probably related to the phenomenon of tides. (Wiki) He anticipated Galileo in this respect. Seleucus theorized that tides were caused by the Moon, although he believed that the interaction was mediated by the pneuma (in Kepler's system it was mediated by demons). He noted that the tides varied in time and strength in different parts of the world. According to Strabo (1.1.9), Seleucus was the first to state that the tides are due to the attraction of the Moon, and that the height of the tides depends on the Moon's position relative to the Sun.
The Greek verb ‘apodeiknumi’ used by Plutarch is cognate with the theological concept of dogma. Statements of speculative philosophy (‘knowledge of good and evil’) were termed by Latin writers decreta, scita, placita, axiomata, enunciata, effata. Cicero replaced all these terms by one: dogmata. Inquisition was not an invention of Catholic Church; already Plato wanted to defend his dogmas with the help of such an institution. Two German adjectives ‘apodiktisch’ and 'unfehlbar’ (infallible) are synonymous. Copernicus in his dedicatory letter to Pope Paul III published as a preface to his book appealed to the Vatican absolute monarch to silence all those who would dare criticize his book, with his infallible judgment.
The great difference between the Greek conception of nature and later ones is that the Greeks thought of the universe as analogous to a city-state, so that for them natural laws, like human laws, were not laws of things, descriptions of how in fact they behave, but laws for things. When we speak of a falling body “obeying” the law of gravitation, we are unconsciously echoing Greek thought; for obedience implies the possibility of disobedience (like swerving). To the Greeks this was no dead metaphor; consequently, their problem was not the relation of Mind to Matter, but of Substance to Form, how matter became “educated” enough, so to speak, to conform to law they were imposing. In other words they were trying to train matter like the circus performers were training their animals, or like the ancient Magi who ruled the world by their incantations. Newton was called by his last biographer The Last Sorcerer.
Hipparchus was able to reject the model in favor of the earth centered epicycles. The Ptolemaic system, formulated in the 2nd century, which, though considered incorrect today, still manages to calculate the correct positions for the planets to a very useful degree of accuracy. It is interesting to note that Ptolemy, himself, in his Almagest points out that any model for describing the motions of the planets is merely a mathematical device, and, since there is no actual way to know which is true, the simplest model that gets the right numbers should be used.
In 1820 Canon Giuseppe Settele, professor of astronomy in Rome and Washington, had written an elementary book in which the Copernican system was taken for granted, as a fact. On the 16th of August, 1820, the Congregation of the Holy Office (Inquisition) decided that Settele might teach the Copernican system as established, and this decision was approved byPope Pius VII. Fifty years later professor Settele was excommunicated. Professor Settele got his title only when he took an oath of fidelity to Napoleon, believed to be a new Apollo. Heliocentrism recognized by Pope Pius VII as 'a fact' was anathematized by Vatican Council I:
"Let him be ANATHEMA . . . who shall say that human Sciences ought to be pursued in such a spirit of freedom that one may be allowed to hold as true their assertions even when opposed to revealed doctrines." -- Ecumenical Council of 1870. See below the Annex about the Papal Oath.
The Syrian Christians vs. Judeo-Christians
The heliocentric scheme of Seleucus became the bone of contention between the early factions of the nascent Christianity. The canonical Gospel of Luke 2:46 relates Jesus lecturing the rabbis in the Jerusalem Temple: “And they (Joseph and Mary) found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, now hearing to them and asking them questions, And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.”
Well, Verse 51 of the Syrian version (Peshitta) of Luke 2 elaborates this incident in such a way that it will be reverberating throughout the following centuries:
“And philosopher who was there present, a skillful astronomer, asked Jesus the Lord whether he studied astronomy. And the Lord Jesus answered him and explained the number of the spheres, and of the heavenly bodies, their nature and operations, their oppositions; their aspects, triangular, square and sextile; their course, direct or retrograde; the twenty-four and sixtieth of twenty-fourths, and other things beyond the reach of reason.”
This Syrian version of the incident in the Temple matches the same event as described in the deutero-canonical Coptic biography of Jesus known as The Letter of Benan purchased in the 19th century by German baron von Rabenau and published in 1910 by Ernst von der Planitz as Der Benanbrief .
A far-famed Egyptian astronomer named Putiphra dispatched the High Priest Ranebchru to the land of the Hebrews (he did not call it Palestine! Interestingly, there is no name Palestine in the Koran either!) to learn the meaning of the appearance of the new star, Siriu, or The Scorching One. In Betlehem he found a child born in a cave the very moment Siriu appeared in the heavens. Ranebchru promised his parents that the child will be raised under the tutelage of the great astronomer Putiphra and Pinehas rabbi of the Jewish temple in nearby On (an early example of ecumenism). When Putiphra died 12 years later Jesus returned to his parents in Nazareth. During his visit to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover he lectured in the temple all the learned doctors and rabbis on the principles of heliocentric astronomy and on the interstellar mysteries, inspired by the heliocentrisc system of Seleucus.
“A learned astronomer was present in the assembly at the temple, and he arose and asked Jesus: 'What do you know about astronomy?' Jesus without hesitation or faltering, explained the number of spheres and the heavenly bodies, and the meaning of their numbers; he expounded on their different natures and operations; he defined their aspects, triangular, square or sextile; he interpreted their course, direct or retrograde; he gave the motion of the planets each day, and each hour of the day; and he ended with a commentary on the interstellar mysteries beyond the reach of reason. And the astronomer turned and asked: “Pray, who can that be.” But this stuff was not included in the canonical Gospels.
It is of utmost religious importance that this lecture as related in the Syrian Peshitta was not included in the canonical Gospels. John Paul II by his rehabilitation of two philosophical doctrines took side with the Assyrian Church of the East and other Aramaic-speaking churches that have historically claimed that the Peshitta is the original text of the New Testament. With the rise of the Internet, Aramaic primacists began to pool arguments in favor of their case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_primacy). In the Vatican's policy, the vision of Syro-Palestine on the ruins of Israel has the same priority as in the era of emperor Hadrian. Copernicus book is rooted in this Syrian Christianity which also portrays Jesus in the so-called Gospel of Marcion as an alien, and the God of the Hebrew Bible as a murderer and a liar. (Cp. John 8:44)
Copernicus in the Bigger Picture
The story of the acquisition of the Sibylline Books by Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the semi-legendary last king of the Roman Kingdom, is one of the famous mythic elements of Roman history. Centuries ago, concurrent with the Fiftieth Olympiad and the Founding of the City of Rome, an old woman arrived incognita in Rome. She came to see King Tarquin. The Cumaean Sibyl offered nine books of prophecies to King Tarquin...
In the Middle Ages both the Cumaean Sibyl and Vergil were considered prophets of the birth of Christ because the fourth of Vergil's Eclogues appears to contain a Messianic prophecy by the Sibyl, and this was seized on by early Christians as such - one reason why Dante later chose Vergil as his guide through the underworld and Michelangelo chose to feature the Cumaean Sibyl in the Sistine Chapel as prominently as the Old Testament prophets. Constantine, the Christian emperor, in his first address to the assembly of Saints, interpreted the whole of the eclogue as a reference to the coming of Christ and quoted a long passage of the Sibylline Book (Book 8) containing an acrostic in which the initials from a series of verses read:
Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour Cross.
the Sibylla Cimmeria carried a cross;
on the Tibur, Sibylla Tibertina was dressed in animal skins and
carried the fascista bundle of rods.
Sibylla Phrygia carried a banner and prophesied resurrection.
Behind the Rehabilitation of Heliocentrism
Greek poet, Angelos Sikelianos (1884-1951) in his tragedy Sibyl had conceived the ambitious plan of the amalgamation of all of humanity centering on Delphi, where he had envisioned to revive the ancient celebrations, transforming the oracle into a spiritual center of the entire world. In this vision all of creation is a Sibylline, massive Temple, where all may enter from all ways. The center is Christ. But the guides are Dionysus and Apollo. A deeper secret strand guides from the allegories of the ancient Greek sanctuaries – of Eleusina and Delphi – to Christianity. The moon landing program codenamed Apollo was actually a religious “pilgrimage”. The marriage of Jacqueline Kennedy to the Greek ship magnate Onassis belonged to the same religious scheme.
Malachi Martin, a former Jesuit professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome in his book The Jesuits reminisces that in the 1960 there was a lot of talk about refashioning a Jesus into a beautiful Apollo which was epitomized in John Paul II's rehabilitation of the Apolline heliocentrism. This rehabilitation was also rehabilitation of Apolline sexual mores. Andrew M. Greeley wrote in 1989: “Blatantly active homosexual priests are appointed; transferred and promoted…National networks of active homosexual priests are tolerated. Pedophiles are reassigned.” Tatian in his Address to the Greeks observed regarding the sex practices in the nation under the sun god Apollo: “pederasty is condemned by the Barbarians, but by Romans, who endeavor to collect herds of boys like grazing horses, it is honoured with certain privileges.” Remember that it is in Plato more consistently and more convincingly than anywhere else in Greek thought that pederasty is exalted from the status of a sexual outlet to a philosophical system claiming access to divinity. Extolling the scientific value of heliocentrism meant the denigration of the knowledge contained in the Hebrew Bible and a fortiori the rejection of its condemnation of homosexual practices.
This was the same route by which male homosexuality came so strongly to feature in the intellectual life of Britain in the later decades of the 19th century. Education in the classics, such as boys and young men received from older men in the nation’s public schools and universities was also an education in the possibility of pederasty. And this method is being observed in the Catholic seminaries where the collections of the Vatican Museum are studied, and probably acted on. Such an education also changed the perception of the whole body of religious teaching. The emotions of a certain Gerard Manley Hopkins, a student at Balliol College, Oxford, in 1863 reflect in the best possible way the change the traditional religion underwent in the process of “scientific” Apolline education; he often found himself becoming excited at the sight of a well-carved body of Christ on a crucifix, and he was often dismayed to find that he was becoming sexually excited when trying to meditate in a more spiritual vein on the events of Christ’s Passion. Pondering why Pope John Paul II excommunicated the women ordained in Austria, one should keep in mind that for Aristotle females never reached “full rationality”, but rather they “vegetated” in slower fetal development. It was a typical philosophical misogyny proclaimed “infallibly” side by side with the dogma about heavenly superiority of the pedophile love. The female orgasm not a female spirituality is the focus of John Paul II's Theology of the Body.
The writer of the Martyrdom of George of Cappadocia makes the spirit to raise up from the dead a pagan called Boes, who had been dead two hundred years, and who told Dadianus, the governor that he had been on earth a worshiper of the “stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Apollo.” Whereas the gods of Olympus, including Apollo, tirelessly pursued beautiful boys, like Ganymede or women, the God of Sinai watched over widows and orphans. We are, indeed, privileged that we are not living in a world exploded by Big Bang. But Jewish Christianity was not on the books of pope John Paul II.
The destruction of the Biblical Creation Model began over 450 years ago with the gradual acceptance of the Copernican Model of the "solar system" and the subsequent total rejection of the Biblical geocentrism. In his new book, Pagans In The Pews, Peter Jones does a truly jam-up job of demonstrating how a sweeping revival of idolatrous Paganism is on the march worldwide and even in Christian Churches. Anyone not aware of this phenomenon will get their eyes opened very wide by Jones’ well-documented, in-depth coverage of this cleverly disguised but very, very major development. Consider for example: The radical environmental "Mother Earth" syndrome, which is wholly committed to and dependent upon an unqualified acceptance of macro-evolutionism or what is considered Aryan Science.
The devotion of Constantine who is believed to have been the first Christian emperor was more peculiarly directed to the genius of the Sun, the Apollo of Greek and Roman mythology; and he was pleased to be represented with the symbols of the God of Light and Poetry. The altars of Apollo were crowned with the votive offerings of Constantine. The Sun was universally celebrated as the invincible guide and protector of Constantine. After he defeated his wife’s father, Maxmian at Marseilles in 310 Constantine’s fortunes were already being raised to the divine. On his way back to Trier from Marseilles, he stopped at the pagan temple in Autun a moment before the oracle that Eusebius enshrines: “O Constantine, you saw, I believe, your protector Apollo, in company with Victory, offering you laurel crowns…You really saw the god, and recognized yourself in the appearance of one to whom the prophecies of poets have declared that the rule of the whole world should belong.” News of this vision, with its implication of heavenly anointing by Apollo, who was identified with the sun god, would have been spread far and wide by Constantine’s panegyrists.
On the cover of John Paul II's The Roman Triptych Michael Angelo's Libyan Sibyl from the Sistine Chapel is reproduced. Well, it is a well-known fact from the Church history that the Christian fathers and their followers made themselves so ridiculous by their fatuous faith in the Sibyls that they were derisively called “Sibyllists” by the Pagans.
(http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/joseph_wheless/forgery_in_christianity/chapter_...). These “Sibyllists were so deeply anti-Semitic that they rejected the Jewish Scriptures as the prefigurement of the Christian faith and embraced instead the “prophecy” of Erythrean Sibyl. A Jewish Sibylline Oracle of the period predicts the coming of a man from the sky who will cause the sun to stand still, as Joshua had done, and The Epistle Barnabas 12:8 also links Jesus with Joshua. Copernicus's vision of the universe as a huge temple with the sun in the middle so it could enlighten everything at the same time was inspired by the Jewish Sibylline Oracles 4:8-11, of around 100 C.E.
And it was revealed to me, brothers, while I was sleeping, by a most beautiful young man speaking to me, “The old lady, from whom you have received the book, who do you think she is?” I replied, “The Sibyl.” “You are wrong,” he said, “she is not.” “Then, who is she?” I asked. He replied, “She is the Church.” Shepherd of Hermas, Vis II.iv.1 ( D. P. O’BRIEN, The Cumaean Sibyl as the Revelation-bearer in the Shepherd of Hermas, 473 Journal of Early Christian Studies 5:4, 473–496 © 1997 The Johns Hopkins University Press)
Although he never lived, Hermes Trismegistus was no shadowy charlatan, but a key figure in Renaissance culture, allegedly chosen to receive God's wisdom at the beginning of human history. By the end of the 15th century Hermes Trismegistus had become absorbed within Renaissance religion. His was prominently portrayed in the mosaic floor of Siena cathedral, sporting a pointed Turban and a sage's beard, and flanked by Greek Sibyls prophesying Christ arrival. At Florence cathedral a canon called Marsilio Ficino translated his supposed writings, which had been randomly grouped together by a monk collecting Greek manuscripts for the Medicis. Ficino interpreted the incoherent mixture of Hermetic texts that he had inherited as ancient Egyptians revelations foretelling the truth of Christianity. Ficino was also studying the works of Plato and other Greek writers that had recently arrived from the Islamic Empire, and he amalgamated these disparate ancient sources to produce his own version of Renaissance Neoplatonism – a philosophical blend of Platonic, Christian, and magical ideas. (Patricia Fara, Science.Four Thousand Year History.Oxford University Press. 2009, p.102)
Ficino's and Pico's neoplatonism became embedded within scientific thought. For instance, Copernicus is regarded as a founding figure in science because of two major innovations – placing the sun at the centre of the Universe, and insisting on a mathematical approach to the cosmos. These were both neoplatonic ideals. Like Hermes Trismegistus, Copernicus regarded the sun as God made visible, and he reintroduced the geometrical cosmologies of Plato and Pythagoras that had been revived by magi. (ib. p.103)

The Aryan Roots of Natural Selection
“Darwinian natural selection is the only known solution to the otherwise unanswerable riddle of where the information comes from. It turns out to be the God Hypothesis that tries to get something for nothing. The argument from improbability states that complex things could not have come about by chance. But many people define 'come by chance' as a synonym for 'come about in the absence of deliberate design.' not surprisingly, therefore, they think improbability is evidence of design. Darwinian natural selection shows how wrong this is with respect to biological improbability. And although Darwinism may not be directly relevant to the inanimate world – cosmology, for example – it raises our consciousness in areas outside its original territory of biology.
“Darwinian evolution proceeds merrily(!)* once life has originated. Bot how does life get started? The origin of life was the chemical event, or series of events, whereby the vital conditions for natural selection came first about. The major ingredient was heredity, either DNA or (more probably) something that copies like DNA, but less accurately, perhaps the related molecule RNA. Once the vital ingredient – some kind of genetic molecule – is in place, true Darwinian natural selection can follow, and complex life emerges as the eventual consequence. But the spontaneous arising by chance of the first hereditary molecule strikes many as improbable. Maybe it is very improbable, and I shall dwell on this, for it is central to this section of the book.” (R. Dawkins, the God Delusion)
*Upon the pavement of the Roman City of Timgat an inscription was found which reads: “To hunt, to bathe, to gamble, to laugh, that is to live.” Life of the ancient Romans was inspired by the Aryan concept of creation as lila (play). Cp. playboy, playgirl and innumerable sculptures of laughing Buddha, who was a David Letterman of India
Many atheists have very little understanding of science, DNA, and biology. They only have very superficial knowledge of these scientific subjects. Their ignorance of how nature works allows them blissful freedom to believe all sorts of fairy tales. As mankind has discovered and understood more about nature, particularly DNA, the more ridiculous and childish does atheism appear.
Thanks to popular evolutionist writers like Richard Dawkins, many in society have come to believe that natural selection will solve all of evolution's problems. Natural selection cannot produce anything. It can only "select" from what is produced. Furthermore, natural selection operates only once there is life and not before.
Natural selection is not an active force. It is a passive process in Nature. Only those variations that have survival value will be "selected" or be preserved. Once a variation has survival value then, of course, it's not by chance that it is "selected". But, natural selection, itself, does not produce or design those biological variations. The term "natural selection" is simply a figure of speech. Nature does not do any active or conscious selecting. It is an entirely passive process. "Natural selection" is just another way of saying "natural survival". If a biological change occurs that helps a species to survive then that species, obviously, will survive (i.e. be "selected"). Natural selection can only "select" from biological variations that are possible and which have survival value.
The best little article ever written refuting the origin of life by chance is "A Few Reasons an Evolutionary Origin of Life Is Impossible" by scientist and biochemist Dr. Duane T. Gish. Dr. Gish presents "simple" but profound scientific barriers to evolution of life which aren't mentioned or covered in Johnny's high school biology textbook or in college textbooks for that matter.

Dawkins maintained ruthlessness in the natural world by claiming in his The Selfish Gene that individual genes, not entire organisms, are ceaselessly trying to eliminate their molecular competitors. From the sociobiological perspective, although acts of human generosity may appear to be altruistic, they conceal fights being waged deep inside our cells, where the genes are selfishly influencing our behavior to ensure their own future. But in reality as his critics pointed out – genes can't think, and they can't have motives, selfish or otherwise.
The Thing is that Darwin, Dawkins and all other natural scientists understand the term 'nature' exactly like the ancient Romans did, as Almighty Goddess who in pre-Darwin England was called goddess Mutability: “I, who am Nature, the parent of things, mistress of all the elements, initial progeny of the ages, the highest of the divinities, queen of departed spirits*, the first of the celestials, of gods and goddesses the sole likeness of all: who rule by my nod the luminous heights of the heavens, the salubrious breezes of the sea, and the woeful silences of the infernal regions, and whose divinity, in itself but one, is venerated by all the earth, in many characters, various rites, and different appellations.”

According to Collier’s Encyclopedia, the spleen may be congenitally absent. Deviations in size, shape and structure, such as excessive lobulation, are also possible. Accessory spleens, sometimes in considerable numbers, are fairly common. Floating, or wandering spleens occur more frequently in women. Obviously, dissection of human body meant, as experimental source of knowledge, does not provide us with sure answers to all possible questions: “What is the proper shape of spleen?” What is the proper structure of the spleen?” “Is one spleen enough for human body?” “What is the proper state of the spleen: steady or floating?” John Locke spoke of human mind as a blank tablet upon which exercise writes and then it arrives at conclusions by using the inductive method, based on what he has observed. Darwin ignored all those who cautioned against the “testimony of the sense.” Looks like Natural Selection doesn't proceed merrily in the case of spleen. And we don't know which individuals are “fittest to survive.” In fact, the ancient Jewish surgeons were removing spleens of the royal messengers, which made them run faster. Did Darwin have a faintest idea about history of medicine. I sincerely doubt it. R Dawkins did not provide an answer why the “selfish genes” did not remove this apparently superfluous (?) organ.
The Political Background of Darwin's Natural Selection
"The first germ of life was developed by water and heat" (Manu, book I, sloka 8). In other words by water and Brahma because Brahma is a neuter word meaning energy. The lotus is the product of fire (heat) and water, hence the dual symbol of spirit and matter.
"Water ascends toward the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rain are born the plants, and from the plants, animals" (Book III, sloka 76).
"Each being acquires the qualities of the one which immediately precedes it, in such a manner that the farther a being gets away from the primal atom of its series, the more he is possessed of qualities and perfections" (Book I, sloka 20).
"Man will traverse the universe, gradually ascending, and passing through the rocks, the plants, the worms, insects, fish, serpents, tortoises, wild animals, cattle, and higher animals. . . . Such is the inferior degree" (Ibid.).
"These are the transformations declared, from the plant up to Brahma, which have to take place in his world" (Ibid.).
Darwin’s natural selection was a child of British imperial policy. Let me explain. The Hindus, mild, patient, long-suffering, whose very apathy saved the British from being driven out of the country in 1857, would raise their hundred millions of devotees as one man, in reaction to a religious desecration; regardless of sects or castes, they would exterminate every Christian. The East India Company knew this well and built her stronghold on the friendship of the Brahmans, and by paying subsidy to the pagodas (similarly, the Vatican, Russia, Iran and European Union are paying now subsidies to Hamas), and the British Government was as prudent as its predecessors. It was the castes, (Darwin's favoured races) and non-inference with the prevailing religions, that secured its comparative authority in India. And the idea of castes was founded on the premise of karsati i.e. natural selection. Darwin was saving the “jewel in the crown” of the British Empress of India.
Interestingly enough, the coadjutor of Darwin, Mr. A. R. Wallace in his Contributions to Theory of Natural Selection, when discussing the inadequacy of Natural Selection alone to account for the physical form of man, admitted the guiding action of "higher intelligences" as a "necessary part of the great laws which govern the material Universe".
Theosophy vs. Darwin
Helena von Hahn-Blavatsky, the Russian-born czarina of the United Lodge of Theosophy wrote in her book The Secret Doctrine the following critique of Darwin's notion of natural selection: “As to Natural Selection itself, the utmost misconception prevails among many present-day thinkers who tacitly accept the conclusions of Darwinism. It is, for instance, a mere device of rhetoric to credit "Natural Selection" with the power of originating species. "Natural Selection" is no Entity; but a convenient phrase for describing the mode in which the survival of the fit and the elimination of the unfit among organisms is brought about in the struggle for existence. Every group of organisms tends to multiply beyond the means of subsistence, the constant battle for life -- the "struggle to obtain enough to eat and to escape being eaten" added to the environmental conditions -- necessitating a perpetual weeding out of the unfit. The elite of any stock thus sorted out, propagate the species and transmit their organic characteristics to their descendants. All useful variations are thus perpetuated, and a progressive improvement is effected.
But Natural Selection, in the writer's humble opinion, "Selection, as a Power," is in reality a pure myth; especially when resorted to as an explanation of the origin of species. It is merely a representative term expressive of the manner in which "useful variations" are stereotyped when produced. Of itself, "it" can produce nothing, and only operates on the rough material presented to "it." The real question at issue is: what CAUSE -- combined with other secondary causes -- produces the "variations" in the organisms themselves. Many of these secondary causes are purely physical, climatic, dietary, etc., etc. Very well. But beyond the secondary aspects of organic evolution, a deeper principle has to be sought for. The materialist's "spontaneous variations," and "accidental divergencies" are self-contradictory terms in a universe of "Matter, Force and NECESSITY." Mere variability of type, apart from the supervisory presence of a quasi-intelligent impulse, is powerless to account for the stupendous complexities and marvels of the human body for instance. The insufficiency of the Darwinists' mechanical theory has been exposed at length by Dr. Von Hartmann among other purely negative thinkers. It is an abuse of the reader's intelligence to write, as does Haeckel, of blind indifferent cells, "arranging themselves into organs." The esoteric solution of the origin of animal species is given elsewhere.
“Those purely secondary causes of differentiation, grouped under the head of sexual selection, natural selection, climate, isolation, etc., etc., mislead the Western Evolutionist and offer no real explanation whatever of the "whence" of the "ancestral types" which served as the starting point for physical development. The truth is that the differentiating "causes" known to modern science only come into operation after the physicalization of the primeval animal root-types out of the astral. Darwinism only meets Evolution at its midway point -- that is to say when astral evolution has given place to the play of the ordinary physical forces with which our present senses acquaint us. But even here the Darwinian Theory, even with the "expansions" recently attempted, is inadequate to meet the facts of the case. The underlying physiological variation in species -- one to which all other laws are subordinate and secondary -- is a sub-conscious intelligence pervading matter, ultimately traceable to a REFLECTION of the Divine and Dhyan-Chohanic wisdom.* A not altogether dissimilar conclusion has been arrived at by so well known a thinker as Ed. von Hartmann, who, despairing of the efficacy of unaided Natural Selection, regards evolution as intelligently guided by the UNCONSCIOUS (the Cosmic Logos of Occultism). But the latter acts only mediately through FOHAT, or Dhyan-Chohanic energy, and not quite in the direct manner which the great pessimist describes. (Vol. 2, Page 648)
Does R. Dawkins Play a Bassoon?
In the Pipes of Pan, a proposed Scholium to the Principia Mathematica of 1687 Newton rewrote the myth of Pythagoras claiming that the inverse-square law of gravitation had been known to the earliest sages. Pan’s seven-piped flute, the emblem of the seven forces of nature, of the seven planets, the seven musical notes, of all the septenary harmony, in short, shows well his primordial character. Kepler inspired by Pan’s vision in his Harmony of the World (1609) calculated from the greatest and the slowest speed of each planet the ‘divine’ musical scales of the planets.
Heliocentrism and evolutionism always went hand in hand, because in music the Greeks distinguished: rhythms, mutations, and melopoeia. According to Douland to a Musitian (1609) “Mutation is the putting of one concord for another in the same key. According to The New Age Dictionary. A Guide to Planetary Family Consciousness. Ed. By Alex Jack. (Japan Publications, Inc. 1990), Charles Darwin was “evolutionist who played a bassoon for his plants.”
This is how an English paper describes the astounding trick of plant-growth, as performed by Indian jugglers:
"An empty flower-pot was now placed upon the floor by the juggler, who requested that his comrades might be allowed to bring up some garden mould from the little plot of ground below. Permission being accorded, the man went, and in two minutes returned with a small quantity of fresh earth tied up in a corner of his chudder, which was deposited in the flower-pot and lightly pressed down. Taking from his basket a dry mango-stone, and handing it round to the company that they might examine it, and satisfy themselves that it was really what it seemed to be, the juggler scooped out a little earth from the center of the flower-pot and placed the stone in the cavity. He then turned the earth lightly over it, and, having poured a little water over the surface, shut the flower-pot out of view by means of a sheet thrown over a small triangle. And now, amid a full chorus of voices and rat-tat-tat accompaniment of the tabor, the stone germinated; presently a section of the cloth was drawn aside, and gave to view the tender shoot, characterized by two long leaves of a blackish-brown color. The cloth was readjusted, and the incantation resumed. Not long was it, however, before the cloth was a second time drawn aside, and it was then seen that the two first leaves had given place to several green ones, and that the plant now stood nine or ten inches high. A third time, and the foliage was much thicker, the sapling being about thirteen to fourteen inches in height. A fourth time, and the little miniature tree, now about eighteen inches in height, had ten or twelve mangoes about the size of walnuts hanging about its branches. Finally, after the lapse of three or four minutes, the cloth was altogether removed, and the fruit, having the perfection of size, though not of maturity, was plucked and handed to the spectators, and, on being tasted, was found to be approaching ripeness, being sweetly acid." (H.P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled, vol. I, chap. 5)
Music of a fakir’s flute drew up the akasa or intangible life-principle, the astral and celestial lights combined together, in a concentrated current through the plant, and by keeping up an unintermitted flow for the requisite space of time, the life-principle of the plant built up cell after cell, layer after layer, until the work was done. The will of the fakir-conjurer forms an invisible but yet, to it, perfectly objective matrix, in which the vegetable matter is caused to deposit itself and assume the fixed shape. So mutations don’t happen by chance, after all. They are created by the god Pan’s music even if Darwin himself plagiarized this music! The will creates, for the will in motion is force, and force produces matter. This philosophy is also behind the title of the biographical film about Hitler produced by Leni Riefenstahl Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will).
You see, the truly scientific, Darwinian agriculture doesn't need any fertilizers; Hindu jugglers with tabors will do the trick like in the Findhorn community. Let's install thousands of speakers in farms across the world and hunger will finally be eliminated.
Let me quote here a short passage from a Jewish source to give you a different view of the same problem: “ A man planted trees, trimmed their roots, cleared the soil of thorns and weeds, watered the trees when necessary, and applied fertilizers to them; then he prays to God that the trees should yield the fruit. But if he neglects tending them and looking after them, he does not deserve that the Creator, blessed be He, should give him fruit from them.” (Bahya vol. IV, pp.91-92). Now you better understand why the Darwinists postulate the extermination of 95% of world population because, allegedly, the earth cannot support them. The Jewish Science says, it can with proper care and tending to the objects of your work.
The exceptional masterpiece of Madhubani portrays the Divine-triad of Indian Gods - Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma, along with Shiva's sons, the six headed Karttikeya and the elephant headed Ganesha. Besides Vishnu's primeval form he is also present in his incarnated form as Krishna. The robust and fully evolved form of Lord Shiva is engaged in dance whereas Vishnu is accompanying him on 'mradanga', the long drum. With drum and dance, he represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation. (In the Christmas carol The Little Drummer the Hebrew Jesus was transformed into an Aryan Vishnu).
So alike in Kosmos and in man is this power of Sound - Sound without which form cannot be, Sound which is the builder of form, which generates form, every Sound having its own form, and every Sound being of this triple character, that it generates form, that it upholds form, that it destroys form. Thus, once again, the Trimurti appears, the Creator, the Preserver, the Destroyer; they are all One in different aspects, for the Divine is One, whatever the form of Its manifestation. (...)
Take, for instance, an ordinary drum, so that in the parchment head of this drum you have a vibrating surface. If you take the bow with which you throw the strings of a violin into vibration, and draw this bow across the edge of the parchment, then a note is given out - a note which depends of course on the tension in the parchment and various other matters which are not important to us. That is simple enough; but it was thought desirable to try to discover what happened when the note was given out; and in order that that which is invisible might be made visible, sand was lightly scattered over the surface of the drum; then the bow was drawn across the edge of the circle of the drum, and this experiment was done over and over again at every point in this circle which was the circumference of the drum. Let me say in passing that European Science is admirable in its patience, in the way in which it repeats over and over again until it gets the fact; in that it is worthy of our admiration, for in that fashion only can these phenomenal facts be discovered. In every portion of the circumference that was experimented upon, it was found that as the bow was drawn across, the sand was thrown up in the air, but it was also found that when it came back it did not fall evenly over the surface, but formed a geometrical figure. So that the sand spread over the parchment was by sound compelled to assume definite geometrical shapes, different as the notes were changed in character by bowing different points in the circumference. As different intervals in the circumference gave out different harmonics of the fundamental note, it was found different shapes were produced; that at first, touching it at a particular point, you will only get the drum divided into four, because that is the fundamental note given out by the parchment vibrating as a whole. When you make it vibrate in harmonics you have geometrical shapes of a far more elaborate character. And following out these investigations of harmonics - as they were called - we discover that in every note that is sounded, you have not got a single sound but a very complex sound that can be divided and subdivided. (Annie Besant, Building of the Cosmos. London: Theosophical Publishing Society. 1894)
No doubt, the Hindu Mythology was the inspiration for Ch. Darwin's evolutionism. Prof. Kenneth R. Miller, aware of Pope John Paul II's high praise of evolutionism, in his book FINDING DARWIN’S GOD. A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution (Cliff Street Books 1999) tried to reconcile Darwinism with his Catholic faith.
Well, a certain Mr. B.G. McKenzie observed during the Scopes Trial: “They are seeking to reconcile it, if your honor please, and come right along and prove by the mouth of their scientist that when he said God created man in His own image, in His own image created He him out of the ground and blew into him the breath of life, and he became as a living creature they want to put words into God’s mouth, and have Him to say that He issued some sort of protoplasm, or soft dish rag, and put it in the ocean and said, “Old boy, if you wait around about 6,000 years, I will make something out of you.”
The ancient Vedic seers described the original cosmic creative process as “the churning of the milky ocean” whereby fields of subtle substance become condensed into gross matter; a view that is now widely accepted today in energy-field physics research. The Brownian movement is also a miniature replica of “the churning of the milky ocean.” This “churning” is represented geometrically in Tantric ritual as a four armed cross within a circle and the cross is meant to be imagined as oscillating backwards and forwards as in a churning motion. The forward movement marked by right-angled break of the arms of the cross is towards evolution while the left-angled break marks movement towards dissolution. The circle represents the universe in its potential un-manifested state prior to creation and is called in Hinduism “Brahmanda”.
The cross within a circle is also known as the sun wheel and swastika emerges by breaking the circumference of the circle. Because the universe is seen as evolving from the central Sun, the point (puru), the ever-congealed germ. The lotus flower, represented as growing out of Vishnu’s navel is the most graphic allegory of this process ever made. In chapter LXXXI of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, called “Transformation into the Lotus,” a head emerging from this flower, the god exclaims: “I am the pure lotus, emerging from the Luminous one…I carry the messages of Horus. I am the pure lotus which comes from the Solar Fields…”
The frontispiece of the book The Migration of Symbols by Count Goblet d’Alviella is a representation of Apollo, from a vase in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna; on the middle of Apollo’s breast there is a large and prominent swastika. In other words, the Greeks, like the Brahmins, regarded their sun god Helios, or Apollo as a chakravartin, the sun god as supreme ruler who ruled the four quarters of the world. According to quite a few websites this god failed NASA miserably; he never landed on the moon. Rather he was faking the whole show in a secret military base in the Nevada desert, the so-called area 51. On the chest of a giant Buddha Statue in Hong Kong a left-angled swastika is displayed proclaiming that the world is in the process of dissolution…Swastika was believed by the Hindus to be the heart of Buddha.
“Darwinian evolution proceeds merrily(!)* once life has originated. Bot how does life get started? The origin of life was the chemical event, or series of events, whereby the vital conditions for natural selection came first about. The major ingredient was heredity, either DNA or (more probably) something that copies like DNA, but less accurately, perhaps the related molecule RNA. Once the vital ingredient – some kind of genetic molecule – is in place, true Darwinian natural selection can follow, and complex life emerges as the eventual consequence. But the spontaneous arising by chance of the first hereditary molecule strikes many as improbable. Maybe it is very improbable, and I shall dwell on this, for it is central to this section of the book.” (R. Dawkins, the God Delusion)
*Upon the pavement of the Roman City of Timgat an inscription was found which reads: “To hunt, to bathe, to gamble, to laugh, that is to live.” Life of the ancient Romans was inspired by the Aryan concept of creation as lila (play). Cp. playboy, playgirl and innumerable sculptures of laughing Buddha, who was a David Letterman of India

He then turned the earth lightly over it, and, having poured a little water over the surface, shut the flower-pot out of view by means of a sheet thrown over a small triangle. And now, amid a full chorus of voices and rat-tat-tat accompaniment of the tabor, the stone germinated; presently a section of the cloth was drawn aside, and gave to view the tender shoot, characterized by two long leaves of a blackish-brown color. The cloth was readjusted, and the incantation resumed. Not long was it, however, before the cloth was a second time drawn aside, and it was then seen that the two first leaves had given place to several green ones, and that the plant now stood nine or ten inches high. A third time, and the foliage was much thicker, the sapling being about thirteen to fourteen inches in height. A fourth time, and the little miniature tree, now about eighteen inches in height, had ten or twelve mangoes about the size of walnuts hanging about its branches. Finally, after the lapse of three or four minutes, the cloth was altogether removed, and the fruit, having the perfection of size, though not of maturity, was plucked and handed to the spectators, and, on being tasted, was found to be approaching ripeness, being sweetly acid." (H.P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled, vol. I, chap. 5)
Music of a fakir’s flute drew up the akasa or intangible life-principle, the astral and celestial lights combined together, in a concentrated current through the plant, and by keeping up an unintermitted flow for the requisite space of time, the life-principle of the plant built up cell after cell, layer after layer, until the work was done. The will of the fakir-conjurer forms an invisible but yet, to it, perfectly objective matrix, in which the vegetable matter is caused to deposit itself and assume the fixed shape. So mutations don’t happen by chance, after all. They are created by the god Pan’s music even if Darwin himself plagiarized this music! The will creates, for the will in motion is force, and force produces matter. This philosophy is also behind the title of the biographical film about Hitler produced by Leni Riefenstahl Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will).
You see, the truly scientific, Darwinian agriculture doesn't need any fertilizers; Hindu jugglers with tabors will do the trick like in the Findhorn community. Let's install thousands of speakers in farms across the world and hunger will finally be eliminated.
Let me quote here a short passage from a Jewish source to give you a different view of the same problem: “ A man planted trees, trimmed their roots, cleared the soil of thorns and weeds, watered the trees when necessary, and applied fertilizers to them; then he prays to God that the trees should yield the fruit. But if he neglects tending them and looking after them, he does not deserve that the Creator, blessed be He, should give him fruit from them.” (Bahya vol. IV, pp.91-92). Now you better understand why the Darwinists postulate the extermination of 95% of world population because, allegedly, the earth cannot support them. The Jewish Science says, it can with proper care and tending to the objects of your work.
The exceptional masterpiece of Madhubani portrays the Divine-triad of Indian Gods - Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma, along with Shiva's sons, the six headed Karttikeya and the elephant headed Ganesha. Besides Vishnu's primeval form he is also present in his incarnated form as Krishna. The robust and fully evolved form of Lord Shiva is engaged in dance whereas Vishnu is accompanying him on 'mradanga', the long drum. With drum and dance, he represents the world's perpetual unfolding or evolution. The drum in Hindu myth is an agency of cosmic creation. (In the Christmas carol The Little Drummer the Hebrew Jesus was transformed into an Aryan Vishnu).
So alike in Kosmos and in man is this power of Sound - Sound without which form cannot be, Sound which is the builder of form, which generates form, every Sound having its own form, and every Sound being of this triple character, that it generates form, that it upholds form, that it destroys form. Thus, once again, the Trimurti appears, the Creator, the Preserver, the Destroyer; they are all One in different aspects, for the Divine is One, whatever the form of Its manifestation. (...)
Take, for instance, an ordinary drum, so that in the parchment head of this drum you have a vibrating surface. If you take the bow with which you throw the strings of a violin into vibration, and draw this bow across the edge of the parchment, then a note is given out - a note which depends of course on the tension in the parchment and various other matters which are not important to us. That is simple enough; but it was thought desirable to try to discover what happened when the note was given out; and in order that that which is invisible might be made visible, sand was lightly scattered over the surface of the drum; then the bow was drawn across the edge of the circle of the drum, and this experiment was done over and over again at every point in this circle which was the circumference of the drum. Let me say in passing that European Science is admirable in its patience, in the way in which it repeats over and over again until it gets the fact; in that it is worthy of our admiration, for in that fashion only can these phenomenal facts be discovered. In every portion of the circumference that was experimented upon, it was found that as the bow was drawn across, the sand was thrown up in the air, but it was also found that when it came back it did not fall evenly over the surface, but formed a geometrical figure. So that the sand spread over the parchment was by sound compelled to assume definite geometrical shapes, different as the notes were changed in character by bowing different points in the circumference. As different intervals in the circumference gave out different harmonics of the fundamental note, it was found different shapes were produced; that at first, touching it at a particular point, you will only get the drum divided into four, because that is the fundamental note given out by the parchment vibrating as a whole. When you make it vibrate in harmonics you have geometrical shapes of a far more elaborate character. And following out these investigations of harmonics - as they were called - we discover that in every note that is sounded, you have not got a single sound but a very complex sound that can be divided and subdivided. (Annie Besant, Building of the Cosmos. London: Theosophical Publishing Society. 1894)
No doubt, the Hindu Mythology was the inspiration for Ch. Darwin's evolutionism. Prof. Kenneth R. Miller, aware of Pope John Paul II's high praise of evolutionism, in his book FINDING DARWIN’S GOD. A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution (Cliff Street Books 1999) tried to reconcile Darwinism with his Catholic faith.
Well, a certain Mr. B.G. McKenzie observed during the Scopes Trial: “They are seeking to reconcile it, if your honor please, and come right along and prove by the mouth of their scientist that when he said God created man in His own image, in His own image created He him out of the ground and blew into him the breath of life, and he became as a living creature they want to put words into God’s mouth, and have Him to say that He issued some sort of protoplasm, or soft dish rag, and put it in the ocean and said, “Old boy, if you wait around about 6,000 years, I will make something out of you.”
The ancient Vedic seers described the original cosmic creative process as “the churning of the milky ocean” whereby fields of subtle substance become condensed into gross matter; a view that is now widely accepted today in energy-field physics research. The Brownian movement is also a miniature replica of “the churning of the milky ocean.” This “churning” is represented geometrically in Tantric ritual as a four armed cross within a circle and the cross is meant to be imagined as oscillating backwards and forwards as in a churning motion. The forward movement marked by right-angled break of the arms of the cross is towards evolution while the left-angled break marks movement towards dissolution. The circle represents the universe in its potential un-manifested state prior to creation and is called in Hinduism “Brahmanda”.
The cross within a circle is also known as the sun wheel and swastika emerges by breaking the circumference of the circle. Because the universe is seen as evolving from the central Sun, the point (puru), the ever-congealed germ. The lotus flower, represented as growing out of Vishnu’s navel is the most graphic allegory of this process ever made. In chapter LXXXI of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, called “Transformation into the Lotus,” a head emerging from this flower, the god exclaims: “I am the pure lotus, emerging from the Luminous one…I carry the messages of Horus. I am the pure lotus which comes from the Solar Fields…”
The frontispiece of the book The Migration of Symbols by Count Goblet d’Alviella is a representation of Apollo, from a vase in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna; on the middle of Apollo’s breast there is a large and prominent swastika. In other words, the Greeks, like the Brahmins, regarded their sun god Helios, or Apollo as a chakravartin, the sun god as supreme ruler who ruled the four quarters of the world. According to quite a few websites this god failed NASA miserably; he never landed on the moon. Rather he was faking the whole show in a secret military base in the Nevada desert, the so-called area 51. On the chest of a giant Buddha Statue in Hong Kong a left-angled swastika is displayed proclaiming that the world is in the process of dissolution…Swastika was believed by the Hindus to be the heart of Buddha.
