The keepers of the mysteries of the heavens knew the zodiac to be a projection of the contents of the human unconscious, not merely an external phenomenon. They understood that there was nothing in the zodiac that did not dwell within the

“…Megiddo, Gezer and Hazor and Jerusalem were in reality more like villages...with small public buildings and poorly constructed dwellings with clay floors. The objects reveal a material culture, which, even by the standards of the ancient Near East, could not be judged sophisticated or luxurious. The ‘magnificence’ of the age of Solomon is parochial and decidedly lackluster – Professor James Pritchard (Solomon and Sheba)”

“careful attention to the history of the world for the last eighteen hundred years has shown me, that the priests of all religions have practiced fraud to forward their objects...I cannot forget that the priests of every age have protected, as ours do now protect, impostures, and that in every age numerous examples of pious fraud may be found...Magic is pretty nearly over, but fraud seldom throve better – Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, 1833)”

“If Jesus was truly the Son of God, why did he make such insignificant impact on the prominent intellectuals and historians of his time? Why do contemporary historians and intellectuals not mention Jesus or any of his acts? Why do recently discovered texts – such as the Gnostic Gospels, Dead Sea Scrolls and various Apocryphal works – not corroborate New Testament’s key accounts? Why were these texts considered uncanonical?”

“An excellent example of what Beaumont meant involves the Scottish city of Edinburgh. A detailed investigation into this ancient city’s history and significance reveals it to be a place mentioned, albeit cryptically, in the Bible. According to Beaumont, Edinburgh (Din Eidyn), capital city of Scotia or Scotland, was the original Zion or Jerusalem.”

“Worse, the word “Christian” cannot be found in Christian literature composed in the first one hundred years after the alleged execution of Jesus. The term is found only in literature of pagan authorship. On almost every occasion the term is used to describe degenerate sects who disturb society by violent, illegal acts. The first pagan author to mention the term was Suetonius. After him it appeared in a letter of an Adrian, composed around the year 117 AD. Spelled “Chrestian,” it again turns up in the work of the disreputable Justin Martyr, between 147 and 161 AD. As we can see, these brief entries do not provide enough information to verify that the term signified the followers of the Biblical Jesus.”
