"The time is
coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they
will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will
turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into fables." - 2nd letter
to Timothy 4:3-4
(written shortly before execution by decapictation
) |
"Roman influence divested Christianity of some of
its profound primeval
psychological knowledge. Christian tribes developing under different
cultural conditions created forms so variegated that maintaining unity turned
out to be an historical impossibility." -
Andrew M. Lobaczewski Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the Judaean Desert.
Driven by the Holy Spirit into the desert, Jesus remains there for
forty days without eating; he lives among wild beasts, and angels minister to
him.
The evil one tempts Jesus to bend the physics of reality thus
gaining the keys to all the kingdoms of the world but Jesus declines.
At this point in time he became the Lamb of God, divinely chosen to
fight the corruption of the traditions of the founders of Israel, showing
everyone the path to righteousness.
Cathartic breakthroughs can occur
without 40 days of fasting through Jesus.
In the first few centuries,
there were a number of conflicts over which
direction the Roman Catholic
Church would take.
The earliest conflict
revolved around Saul
of Tarsus, a Hellenized
Hebrew convert to the Zaddikim Cult, which
already had a supernatural
Hebrew Messiah, versus James, the brother of
Jesus, also known as James the Just.
Saul of Tarsus, the
reformulated "Paul", won out in
a largely Hellenized
population so it is no surprise the writing of
Saul of Tarsus dominate
the New Testament.
This form
of Christianity is known as Pauline
Christianity.
The conversion of
Saul of Tarsus into "Paul" can
be dated to a couple years after the
crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, by reference to it in his letters.
According to the account in
Acts, it took place on the road to Damascus, where
he reported having experienced a vision of the resurrected Jesus.
The
account says that "he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" Saul replied, "Who art thou, Lord? And
the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest!"
In Galatians 1:16 Saul
writes that God "was pleased
to reveal his son to me."
In 1 Corinthians 15:8, as he lists the
order in which Jesus appeared to his
disciples after his resurrection, Saul writes, "last of all, as to one
untimely born, He appeared to me also."
Saul was a
young Hellenized Hebrew Zaddikim
fanatic charged with the
seizure and the execution of disciples of Jesus.
On the road to Damascus Saul was struck with
the realization that he could mold the evolving legend of Jesus,
one of the last Tannaim.
Within the Sanhedrin the last
remaining elements of a Hasmonean high priest inner circle cult, the Zaddikim,
still existed.
The Zaddikim,
an extremist apocalyptic sect,
stated aim was to invoke the
intervention of supernatural powers to establish Israel as a sovereign
realm.
The Zaddikim, the inner circle of the
Hasmonean dynasty
Sadducees, had Sicarii
leadership to rouse the zealotry of the peasants.
"His whole state of mind shows the influence of the
Hellenistic lore of Alexandria, especially the
Hermes literature,
hence his strange belief in
supernatural
powers.
Throughout Paul's writings
an irrational or
pathological element could not but repel the disciples of the Rabbis.
The conception of a new faith, half pagan and half Jewish, such as Saul
preached, and susceptibility to its influences, were altogether foreign to the
nature of Jewish life and thought." - Kaufmann Kohler, rabbi Emeritus of Temple
Beth-El, New York
Modern scholars believe that Jesus preached mainly to
Hebrews as Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist whose opinions he would have
shared.
James, as leader of the Jerusalem Church, taught both Aramaic
and Greek speakers.
Saul of Tarsus, as the 'Apostle to
the Gentiles,' made the teaching of Jesus relevant and interesting to the
Hellenized population.
In order for the fledgling Christianity to gain
attention in the Hellenized culture,
the religion had to obtain certain characteristics common to the other gods and
religions of that time.
There was a ready structural model to be found
in the State religion of Rome which had adopted the myths of the Greek city
states which had been spread throughout the Mediterranean by the Greek
colonizers - the best known of which was
Alexander III of Macedonia who
conquered all cultures from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which
to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the
falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done
purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
