SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM of the SUN AND MOON
ALVIN BOYD KUHN


There are two things in this little gem of sentiment that are worthy of our attention at the outset of this lecture.

The one is the poet's uplift that his life be continually sweetened and deepened by the emotions of a "natural piety." The development of religion under Christian


auspices has severed it quite drastically from its original kinship with nature, and it is the purpose and keynote of this lecture to revive some of the primordial links of


relationship between the religious emotions in man's heart and the phenomena of the external world. For religion once owned to a close affinity with natural events and the course of the solar year.


The Church and the various religions still hold the thin cords of that bond of kinship between the subjective and the objective worlds in their calendar of yearly festivals. But to a distressing extent either the very datings of these festivals have been misplaced, or the inner purport of the celebrations has effervesced out of ecclesiastical .


knowledge, and the great round of pagan festivals in the year is reduced to a merely nominal place in the religious life. This is because the great fundamental teaching of the Ancient Wisdom, that both astronomical and natural


phenomena are a reflection and epitome of man's spiritual history, has been lost out of current knowledge.


If I may make a personal reference for a moment, I desire to state that my own discovery, as a result of research into Egyptology, of the amazing reproduction of man's spiritual life in the movements of our two great heavenly neighbors, the sun and the moon, has been perhaps the climactic realization in a whole long series of astounding revelations which were disclosed to my mind in recent study of religious origins. Words indeed fail me in the effort to convey to another mind the veritable


transfiguration of my own philosophic mind, my conception of life and religion, as the truth embodied in solar and lunar movements little by little took form in my comprehension. It was, to say the least, an illumination so


flashing as to stun and benumb my thinking, as if I had been brought face to face with the entire glory of truth in one sudden flare. If cold words will enable me to impart to your minds a fraction of what has been my own intellectual experience in dealing with this material,


I may express the hope that whenever hereafter you behold the moon in the nightly sky, you, like Wordsworth at sight of the rainbow, may be moved by feelings and intimations of the utmost profundity and gripping power.


God set these lights in the heavens, not merely as lamps unto our physical feet by night and by day, but in a far deeper sense to keep us mortals enlightened by their astonishing revelation of our cosmic and spiritual history.


For the sun and moon together trace in the open book of the skies each month and each year the entire narrative of our inner experience.


The (apparent) annual revolution of the sun about the earth, or more properly the course of the sun through the four seasons or four quarters (twelve signs) of the zodiac, was the entire symbolical basis of ancient religious systematism.


The divinity in man was typed by the sun, and the sun's yearly experience in its journeying was made the outward typograph of the experience of the spirit in mortal man. As the sun descended into the dark realm of winter, died and was buried out of sight, to be revived and raised up again to glory in the vernal equinox,


so the god descended into the depths of night and winter in matter, lost his divine nature and died on the cross of incarnation, to rise again, as did Osiris in Egypt, "on the third day in the moon."


The new moon was born on the third day of the dark period. And this, be it known on authority, was the origin of the three days during which all Saviors in ancient scriptures reposed in the tomb of death. This is also the winter solstice.


The zodiacal chart is divided into four quarters to match the four seasons, the four cardinal points, and the fourfold segmentation of man's nature.


At the junction points of each two of these divisions, or at the two solstices and equinoxes, the ancients celebrated the four great religious festivals of the year. In June came the great Fire-festival, symbolic of the highest expression of the fiery nature of deity;


in September came the festival that commemorated the incarnation, under whatever name; in December was celebrated the end of the dark night of death, and the birth or quickening of the Sun-god to new life; and at the vernal equinox in March followed the joyous festival of the


bursting of the bars of death in matter, or the resurrection. Each of these was of cardinal importance and significance; yet it might be said that of the four the autumn and spring occasions were the ones of primary


rating. They severally symbolize the descent of the god into incarnation and his re-arising after "death." They thus typify death and rebirth in the spiritual life of man.


The Fire-festival of ancient days in June has passed quite out of modern ken. Our Fourth of July celebration, with its pyrotechnics and old-time bonfires, has chanced to come


in, for America, with a certain appropriateness not dreamed of by the general mind. Of the great autumnal festival commemorating the death of the god as he sank below the horizon, the main survival is, all unsuspected,


our Hallowe'en mummery. It was designated Michaelmas, as Michael is from the Egyptian Makhu, the god of the horizon or the balance. The proper celebration of Hallowe'en or All Souls' Night has preserved features of the ancient religious symbology which are of extreme significance.


The public's total ignorance of the hidden meaning of these mummeries speaks volubly as to the decay of ancient wisdom and a knowledge of the forms under which it was depicted. The wearing of masks, which were originally those of animal faces, signified the incorporation of the god or soul that came from spiritual realms in the body of an animal. The mummery depicted the souls as hiding themselves behind the outward mask of an animal's body!


We, the gods, came to earth and made the bodies of animals our habitation. These were the "coats of skin" that Genesis describes the Eternal as making for Adam and Eve in the Edenic days. As the god took residence in the bodies of the lower race which he came to uplift, it was a most natural form of typology to picture him as looking out upon the world through the grimacing features of some animal.


The ludicrousness of the masks was designed to betoken the distortion and sad disfigurement of the beauty of the god as his intrinsically divine nature came to expression darkened and corrupted by the animal medium through which it passed into concrete expression. Here is the long-lost meaning of the masks of Hallowe'en.


Take next the divided and bi-colored suits worn by the Hallowe'en celebrants. What is the emblemism back of these? It is not less interesting than that of the masks. It was designed to represent the fact that the god, a unit nature on his own plane, split or bifurcated into duality when he incarnated.


A great Egyptian verse reads: "The soul makes the journey through Amenta (incarnate life) in the two halves of sex." There is a great truth back of this statement.


Indeed it is the great mystery of human life. Before incarnation, we, as spirits, were androgyne, or biune in sex. Sex pertains to the physical body, and the soul, which is sexless, receives a sexual differentiation by virtue of its coming to incarnation in a body.


But the bifurcation rises to even higher significance when it is seen to connote also man's duality as a creature of combined physical and spiritual natures. Humanity is divided into male and female, in outer form; it is also divided in each individual between the two worlds of spirit and matter.


Man is the result of the union of a soul or immaterial principle of intelligence with a gross body. This duality, along with the sexual duality of the race, is typed by the divided suit of the Hallowe'en symbolism.


Then we have the great festival of Easter typing the resurrection of dead life on all planes. And how do we give expression to the meaning? Chiefly in the outward form of bright new spring clothing! This is not merely a social custom. It arose out of the archaic symbology,


when man thought it fitting to imitate nature, who was then clothing herself anew in the bright glories of springtide. Ponder a moment over the idea, and you will be able to see an infinite depth of new meaning in this custom of


casting off old garments and coming out in new ones. One of the several reasons why the snake was a symbol of the resurrection was his sloughing and self-renewal in the springtime. The entire process of evolution in the


human cycle is to be consummated at our Easter by our casting off the old garment of mortality, the body of flesh, and standing forth transfigured in the radiant body of solar glory, our spiritual house not made with hands.


Easter is rightly the consummate festival of human joy, because it signalizes the god's release from his imprisonment in a body of what was to him virtually death. "Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?


cries Paul, referring to his incarnation. "Out of the belly of death have I cried unto thee, O God," echoes Jonah from the depths of this watery grave of the body(The body of man is to 70% water!).


The opposite side of the year, then, must have been the season of grief and sorrow over the god's descent from spiritual freedom into the bondage of "Egypt," or the human body. (Our mortal bodies are the "flesh-pots of Egypt!")


And so we find it in the ancient days. In old systems and cults there were celebrated various festivals appropriate to this motive. Significantly there was a three-days festival of mourning for the death of the god around the date of the autumn equinox;


likewise a seven-days festival of the same purport; and a forty-days festival equivalent to Lent. The seven-days festival was called in Christian times the Fetes de Tenebres, a French name for Festival of Darkness.


It commemorated the soul's sad entry upon its dark night of bodily incarnation.


Now all three of these ancient autumnal festivals which bewailed the soul's descent into the realms always described in the sacred books as "death," have been continued by the Christian Church, but by a strange


miscarriage of their primal intent, they have been transferred over into the opposite side of the year, where they have no appropriateness and where they are glaringly out of place. This has been due to the loss of the original


meaning of the celebrations with the decay of all ancient theology dating from the third century on. Christianity has so far missed the interpretation of old symbols and so far drifted away from solar religion that it has postponed the


season set aside for lamenting the death and burial of our spiritual Lord until that season in which all nature is in the midst of her renewal and resurrection. It surely is no time to bewail the buried king of life when he is already


emerging from his tomb! The fit time for that is in "the melancholy days" of autumn.


But the Christians were probably moved by the consideration that "All's well that ends well," for they arranged each of the three periods at such a time that the concluding day of each one falls upon Easter.


This is the only possible justification for placing the festivals of mourning in the spring, namely, that their night of mourning can be gloriously terminated in the rejoicing on Easter morn.


And this is the only consideration that saves the Christian Church from the commission of a frightful anachronism in its calendar of festivals.


We have seen one of the origins of the three-days period in the tomb (another and more abstruse one has been elaborated in other lectures). It is desirable now to trace the origin of the Passion Week of seven days, the ancient Fetes de Tenebres, and also the origin of the forty days of Lent.


To explain fully the significance of the number seven and its application to the sufferings of the Christ would take no less than a volume in itself. Suffice it to say with the utmost brevity that the divine life in and back of evolution struggled up through six kingdoms of nature,


three sub-mineral, the mineral, the vegetable and the animal, before attaining to the expression of its latent deific force in the seventh or human stage, wherein the god makes his debut upon the scene of incarnate existence.


Hence in all fables and myths the gods appear in a seventh epoch, period or cycle, as in the Genesis account of the finishing of creation on the sixth day. It is the kundalini energy, as it opens the seven chakras on your spine.


A series of old allegories placed the rising of the Savior out of death on the seventh morn, and this construction the Christians followed in the institution of Passion Week.


The Lenten period of forty days has two mythological origins. First it was derived from the Egyptian agriculture,


where the seed was in the ground forty days before germinating. As the seed in the soil was a natural figure for the soul in incarnation, the period of incubation was transferred to the spiritual allegory. As the human gestation is 40 weeks.


Thus the Christians themselves announce three different periods of the god's burial or death in matter three, seven and forty days a definite proof that the event can not be historical, but instead anatomically.


A second origin derives it from another natural phenomenon of incubation, the forty weeks spent by the human foetus in the womb. As forty weeks was too large a portion of the year to devote to a commemoration of one phase of the spiritual drama,


the typical forty days were substituted, the number alone being significant. And after all, what more natural a typology of the incarnation could be found than the foetal cycle?


This number forty which occurs scores of times in Old and New Testament allegorism, has been retained at several other points in the Christian year. Hallowe'en has been placed just forty days past the autumn equinox, and the festival of Candlemas, or the Purification of the virgin, following the birth of the Christos, falls on February 2, just forty days after Christmas.


Also Whitsuntide falls forty days after the ascension. But from these celebrations more or less of the ancient significance of the number has disappeared.

From Gerald Massey's Ancient Egypt, the Light of the World (p. 745) we take the following significant passage:


"But there was a diversity of opinion amongst the Christian Fathers as to whether Jesus the Christ was born in the winter solstice or in the vernal equinox.


It was held by some that the 25 of March was the natal day. Others maintained that this was the day of the incarnation. According to Clement of Alexandria the birth of Jesus took place upon the 25 of March. But in Rome the festival of Lady Day was celebrated on the 25 of March in commemoration of the miraculous conception in the womb of the virgin, which virgin gives birth to the child at Christmas, nine months afterward.


According to the gospel of James (Ch. 18) it was in the equinox, and consequently not at Christmas, that the virgin birth took place."


This passage is valuable from many points of view, and should put an end forever to the notion that the Christian Christmas festival has anything to do with commemorating the birth of a personal being from a human mother.


It was purely an astronomical celebration. Indeed when it was officially set by decree of Pope Julius in the year 345 A.D.,


It was placed on December 25 expressly to match the astronomical date of the birth of Mithra and Dionysus in the Mystery cults! It was the pagans who set the date for Christmas!


Through our rough diagram of the zodiac and its four quarters, we may see several large spiritual facts which are fruitful for our instruction.


The four quarters type the fourfold nature of man, or his four bodies, the physical (earth), the astral or emotional (water), the mental (air), and the spiritual (fire). The divine spirit in man lives in these four sheaths, which interpenetrate each other in the field of the physical body.


It lives in the four because it has built them up in its journey through the round of the elements, building a form in and of the matter of each. To contact those four elemental worlds it had to evolve an organism of the material of each.


The sun, traversing the four quarters of the zodiac, is a glyph of this evolutionary journey of the human soul through the four worlds or elements. To symbolize this great fact, the year, the month (lunar) and the day were each divided into a fourfold section, and the


year and the day additionally given a twelvefold partition, i.e., the twelve months and the twelve hours, of day and night. The lunar months give us seven days in each quarter, and twenty-eight is the number of the gestation period, in days, of many animals.


All this numerology and periodicity is part of the great significant fact that the ancients saw in the movements of the sun and moon a counterpart or analogue of the spiritual history of all men.


With nature's aid they wrote the drama of human life on the open tablet of the sky. Or rather, it might be said, they deciphered the handwriting of mother nature herself in the skies, her stencils being the sun and moon.


Then we have also the cycle of the Great Year, a period of 25,920 years, measured by the total precession of the equinoxes through the entire twelve signs, giving us the different astronomical "Ages." Each of these twelve


divisions lasted 2160 years; and the ancient sages represented the Messiah as coming at the beginning of each new Age under the form of the sign. In Libra he came as the Lord of the Balance, or the King of


Righteousness; in Scorpio he came as the divine Scorpion, to sting the god into incarnational Lethe from which he was to awake on Christmas in his quickening to life; in Sagittarius he came as the half-animal Archer aiming at the distant goal of unification of his two


elements; in Capricorn he came as the mountain goat scaling the heights of the spirit; in Aquarius he was the Water-Pourer, or universal server; in Pisces he came as the Ichthys, the divine Fish, as the food of man; in Aries the ram or Lamb of God, sacrificed for the world; in


Taurus, as the Golden Bull or Calf, the male Cow of life and plenty of ancient Egypt; in Gemini as the two divine twins, the god in his biune form, the one of which, like John the Baptist decreases as the other increases; in


Cancer as the Good Scarab or Beetle, type of the self-renewing divine life; in Leo as the lion of the house of Judah; in Virgo as the shoot of the vine, constellated in this sign in old zodiacs. Jesus of Galilee came at or near


the beginning of the Piscean era; his followers were called the Pisciculi (little fishes) and his disciples were figured as rude fisherman. As we have now entered the Aquarian Age, the Messiah should be re-charactered to conform to ancient usage. He should be the Waterman, or dispenser of the water of life and universal love.


But only now, on top of all this preliminary solar symbolism, do we plunge into the heart of those amazing analogies that make the sun and moon the celestial writers of our history. We must delineate sharply, first, the


characters played by the two orbs, as each stands, both in fact and in symbology, for certain definite traits, elements and natures in our constitution. Let us look at these severally. The sun types our divinity, the moon our


animality; the sun the soul, the moon the body. As all spirit is masculine, the sun is of that gender, the moon female, the woman. The solar god embodies the positive energies of life, the moon the negative.


The sun's essence is fiery, the moon is symboled by water. We might tabulate this as follows for readier classification:


THE SUN. THE MOON.


The god The animal
Spirit Physical matter
Soul Body
Positive Negative
Masculine; man Feminine; woman
Fire Water
Aggressive, light-giving. Receptive, light-receiving
Heavenly life Earthly life
Spirit body Astral body


The sun is our light by day, the moon by night, and in the large cosmic sense day symbols our life in the celestial worlds or the empyrean when not incarnated. Night is the definite symbol of our bodily incarnation.


Our day is symbolical (only) of our life as pure spirit; night betokens the subjection of our spirits to the gloom and darkness of incarnation. This will be seen in important connections in a few minutes. In the daytime we receive the rays of our spiritual life directly; by night we get them only secondarily and by reflection.


And here is the beginning of the great symbolism of the moon. It is a reflector of the sun's light, and this reflection is made at night, when the sun is out of sight of man! The moon is our sun-by-night, and it is well to delve more deeply into the implications of this datum.


The moon conveys to us the sun's light in our darkness. What does this mean on a wider scale of values? It means this: as the night typifies our time of incarnation, the diminished solar light reflected on the lunar surface is an index of the fact that by no means the full power and radiance of the sun (our divine light or spirit) can fall upon us or shine for us while in the life in body.


As the moon stands for the body, the reflected light of the sun upon it and from it to us, betokens that we can have access only to as much of the spiritual glory as our bodies can give passage to, or give expression to, or become susceptible to.


In incarnation we are in spiritual darkness, or have access only to that spiritual force and radiance that can get down to us through the intervening medium of the physical mechanism. The body which individualizes us must needs be the transmitter of godly life and nature to us.


As it is our outer garment, the light from within must come through it to reach us in the outer world. As at night solar light comes to us reflected and refracted, dimmed and obscured by its passage through another orb,


so in our night of incarnation on earth, our divine character shines for us only in that diminished and broken form in which the mechanism of nerves and blood transmit it to our intelligence. The moon is all that we can have of the sun at night. So the bodily registration and transmission of godly nature in our physical life


is all that we can have of deity. Hence the ancient widespread desire to escape the bonds of the body by rigid mortification and crucifixion of its heavier tendencies.


When in incarnation, we are deprived of the full glow of our inner light. Our god is then as the hidden sun, and we must get its rays through a reflecting medium, the body. This is why That, the moon-god in Egyptian mythology-religion, is called the witness for Ra, the great Sun-god. The witness is the emotional nature.


He, through his orb, is the witness to the human race of the presence of the invisible sun. He is identical with the Gospel character of John the Baptist, who is described in the Gospels as being not that true light, but as coming to bear witness to that light.


So the moon is not a true light, but stands in the sky of our night to bear witness that the solar light, our god, is still shining. It thus also symbolizes the human body, which is surely not the light of spirit, yet in its structure and in its outward


countenance, it reflects and bears witness to the divine spirit that animates it, the god hidden within. A man's spirit shines out on his face as the sun shines on the moon!


This is a profound thing to realize about the moon, that it types our lower nature, which reflects the higher. But the most sublime element in the spiritual symbolism we are trying to depict comes next in the development of our theme.


This is the eternal meaning connected with the sun's light on the moon that we are desirous of impressing in unforgettable vividness upon the imagination. This is the great fact which we would have you call to mind whenever you gaze upon the silvery orb from night to night.


As the young crescent fills with light and rounds out its luminous circle, it is writing our spiritual history! It is preaching to us uncomprehending mortals the gospel truth about our own divinization.


The growing expanse of light on the moon, we repeat, is the sign, symbol and seal of our own transfiguration into godhood!


The spark of divinity implanted in our organisms must, to use one Biblical figure, gradually leaven the whole lump; to use another, must illuminate the whole bodily house.


Grandly do the texts of the Egyptian Book of the Dead express the features of this process. Horus in his resurrection is made to say, after enumerating the bodily members one by one:


"There is no member of my body that is without a god." He means in effect that there is no portion of his nature that has not been divinized, i.e., purified, raised, transfigured with spiritual radiance. And this states the whole purpose of human life.


The god came to dwell within us in order to transform our lower natures and lift them up to a harmony of vibration with his own ethereal personality. As we gaze upon the lunar


crescent and see it go on toward the full, the vision should fortify us with the profoundest and sublimest truth about this mortal existence of ours, viz.: that we are in process of filling our very bodies with the mantling glow of an interior hidden light, which will steadily transform our whole nature with the beauty of its gleaming.


The sight of the crescent (from Latin crescere, to grow) should thrill us with the realization that little by little, life by life, divinity is creeping over us, spreading through us! The growing light on the moon is nature's sure pledge of our deification!


Here is inspired writing of revelation by the hand of Nature herself. Here is a Bible whose word no sceptic will deny.


The Sun-gods in ancient systems were represented as being dismembered, or cut to pieces, when they came to incarnation. Osiris's body was fabled to have been cut by Sut, the devil of darkness, into fourteen pieces, which


were scattered and buried over the land of Egypt, to be reassembled later by Isis or Horus, aided by the god Taht, and the body restored whole in its resurrection. Here is indisputable proof that the religious myths were based on astronomical symbolism, for the fourteen pieces can have


no other basis than the fact that the power of darkness cuts off fourteen slices of light from the body of the full moon, or cuts the full-orbed light of the sun on the moon, the god in matter, into fourteen pieces.


These are reassembled or reconstituted in the next birth of the crescent; and once more the heavenly symbolism of the gradual spiritualization of the lower man takes form in the growing light.


So that we can understand the hidden ecstasy of the god Horus, when at the completion of the process and the divinization of his whole nature, he cries, triumphantly, "I am the god entire."


In the bible it says "I knew a man fourteen years above christ, in or out of the body I could not tell, one caught up to the third heaven. here again we see the signifance of the number fourteen.


In this same great Egyptian Ritual (The Book of the Dead) there is the statement that "Osiris enters the moon on the sixth day." This has not heretofore been seen as of any pointed significance, because the symbolism has not been understood.


As the moon types the woman, lunar typology was made to match feminine functions, and the three dark days of the moon were extended to, or represented as, five, to equate the five days of the feminine period. As the ovum, the seed of life from


above, descends into the womb for fecundation at the end of the period, it was used to type the descent of the god into incarnation after a period of pralaya or non-existence in a world of form, and the typism was transferred from the woman to the moon, her astronomical counterpart. Or the moon-goddess was simply figured as menstruating.


This entry of Osiris or the god into the moon on the sixth day of the new cycle is the prime origin of the Sabbath, and makes clear particularly why the Jewish Sabbath begins Friday evening and extends to Saturday evening.


The descent of the god was timed on solar symbolism, and therefore was made at sunset. Counting from Sunday, Friday is the sixth day, and evening the time of the descent.


Jesus and Horus both enter the boat to cross the sea at eventide.


As the underlying idea of the Sabbath is the crowning of the six rounds or waves of elemental life, non-intelligent, with the coming of the seventh or spiritual intelligence, and the bringing of peace (the same Egyptian word, hetep,


which means seven also means peace and is the name of the Egyptian Messiah, Iu-em-hetep, he who comes as the seventh, and he who as the seventh brings peace to the seven elementary forces of blind nature) (See lecture on the Myth of the Sun-gods for fuller elucidation.)


There was thus a Sabbath on the seventh day of each month, called the Feast of the Tenait. Then as the full moon was typical of the complete divinization of the lower man, and came on the 15th, there was another Sabbath held eight days later.


Each month thus had at first only two Sabbaths, on the seventh (evening of the sixth) and the fifteenth. Later the general idea of a seventh or spiritual day completing the six secular days, was applied to each


recurring group of seven days, without reference to the lunar phases or periods, and was made continuous, the origin of our week. Several of the goddesses, as Semiramis and Ishtar, as also Venus, were actually


named "the goddess Fifteen," typifying their giving birth to the Sun-god at the height of their enciente condition, on the fifteenth.


As intimated, the three dark days of the moon were the actual origin of all the burial periods of three days for the Sun-gods or their mythical three days in the tomb.


In lunar symbolism they matched the five days of the feminine period, and as this is the period during which the light of the sun is not in contact at all with the moon, tribal and national custom, founded basically on these outward phenomena and their hidden spiritual signification,


carried the implication over into the life of womankind by prohibiting contact with the male during the dark cycle, and still further by requiring women to avoid all contact with


sunlight or even with a fire, the outward symbols of the male or spirit!


The customs of the Jews and other nations of early time forbade a woman to be in a house where there was a fire.


Her condition was supposed to dishonor the fire or the sun, and this is the meaning back of the legends of the Greek Diana visiting condign punishment upon the hero who came into her presence while she was bathing. David also looked from his housetop upon a beautiful woman who was bathing, and was severely punished for it.


We have said that the moon and woman are mutually representative in the typology, because both represent the human emotions.


Now, to indicate that these parallelisms are not mere poetic fancies, but that they are grounded on actual affinities in nature, let us see if there is any actual bond of relationship between them.


At once we are confronted with an amazing confirmation of the connection. The very basic functions of woman as female are controlled and timed by the 28-day cycle of the moon. There is nothing that can be added to this bare statement, but there is an infinite amount of thinking that can be done about it, to great profit.


The great mystery of life is the mystery of sex, and here is one of the most startling phenomena connected with it all.


Another most important link in the series of symbolism is this: the ancient books tell us that man's emotional (or astral) body, comes to him from the moon.


Our desire bodies are the chayas of the lunar pitris, or our lunar progenitors. Now the symbol of the astral or emotional plane, in all ancient scripts without exception, is water, as fire is just as invariably the sign of spirit.


Which, then, of the two sexes would we expect to find predominantly on the emotional ray?


Need I state that woman is universally adjudged to be the more emotional of the two?


Again we find our table of symbols to be vindicated. Woman, who represents the moon and is typed by water, is under the moon influence both physiologically (as above) and psychologically.


And how does the typism hold as between moon and water? Again we meet an astonishing verification of the correctness of our parallels, for the moon it is, not the sun, that controls the watery tides of our earthly oceans!


Think how nature has been trying to instruct us, and we all these centuries too dull to interpret her daily, weekly, monthly and yearly lessons!


The moon, water, the body (composed mainly of water), woman, emotion, all linked in one great bond of affinity! Nor have we seen the last of the parallels. Still another is to be found in the word "lunatic," moon-struck.


The influence of the moon on human psychic states is seen beyond question in the behavior of asylum inmates. At full moon many cases, particularly of women, show violent symptoms which are not manifest between the lunations.


Now we are ready to examine a series of even more wonderful phenomena and their symbologies in connection with the interaction of the two bodies, sun and moon. As male and female together engender all life, let us see if in the interaction of sun and moon there is any adumbration of this fact.


Of a truth, one of the most thrilling situations in astronomical theology, almost indeed the cornerstone of religion and philosophy, is clearly outlined in the monthly interplay of solar and lunar movements.


First it must be prefaced that this realm of bodily life on earth was called in all old scriptures the Hades, of the Greeks, the Sheol of the Hebrews, and the Amenta of the Egyptians; the dark cave, the grave or tomb, and lastly and always, the dark Underworld.


It was the gloomy abysmal pit, the infernal realm of Stygian darkness. It was the region of death and darkest night, the dark night of the soul. Darkness was its invariable symbol.


Now, as it was only when incarnated on this earth that the human spirit came into contact with body, split into the two nodes of sex ("the soul makes the journey through


Amenta in the two halves of sex"Egyptian Ritual), and became the bisexual parentage of new life, the copulation of cosmic sex to reproduce new life may be said to take place only in the dark underworld, or, most significantly, inthe soul's night time!


The two halves of sex, soul and body, unite in the underworld to effect a new creation. Human fecundation commonly takes place in the night and out of the world's sight.


Can it be possible that the sun and moon match this cosmic, this theological and finally this human parallelism in their relations?


Indeed they do so, and with unbelievable fidelity. The new infant light of the sun on the crescent moon is conceived and born in the dark underworld, that is, below the horizon, in the western sky, out of sight of the world, where the sun and moon have met (they are both at a point below the western horizon at the same time) and may be said to have copulated. Sun and moon together once a month descend into the dark underworld, there unite, and in two or three days the moon gives birth to their child, the new young moon! Here is the theological outline or glyph of all creation, planetary, racial, human, individual. Men and


women only meet in the underworld (there is no sex in spiritual heavens) and only in the cave of incarnation do spirit (male) and body (female) ever meet in the cosmos. What a sermon the two orbs preach to us in that monthly tryst below the rim of the world in the western sky!


For it is only in the kingdom of man that soul and body are met in creative union. The angels and gods are spiritual only; the animals are without spirit. Man alone is a union of spirit and matter in equilibrium.


Reverting a moment to the physiological or phallic aspect of the data, we see an exact replica of this entire phenomenon once more. As soul descends into the underworld to meet body,


as sun descends below the horizon light to meet moon, so in the physical plane of creation sperm (the male element) descends into the dark cavern of the womb to meet there the ovum (female element) that has likewise come down from above, and the two meet in creative union in that dark underworld.


An Egyptian text says that the soul of Osiris descends into the underworld of Amenta (our earth), it meets there the soul of Isis; the two are there united.


To climax this series of almost incredible correspondences between outward astronomical and inner spiritual processes in two altogether different realms of life, there is another natural phenomenon that may well serve to fill us with wonder at nature's recording of her


universal affinities. In order to present it with the utmost impressiveness we shall give it in the words of the ancient writer, Hor-Apollo, an Egyptian quoted by Plutarch, and a man whose extant writings contain some of the clearest hints at the hidden significance of the ancient symbols. The following is one of them:


"Hor-Apollo says of the Cynocephalus. that the Egyptians symbolized the moon by it on account of a kind of sympathy which the ape had with it at the time of its conjunction with the god. 'For at the exact instant of the


conjunction of the moon with the sun, when the moon becomes unillumined, then the male cynocephalus neither sees nor eats, but is bowed down to the earth with grief, as if lamenting the ravishment of the moon.


The female also, in addition to its being unable to see, and being afflicted in the same manner as the male, ex genitalibus sanguinem emittit


(Lat."emits blood from the genitary organ";) hence even to this day Synocephali are brought up in the temples, in order that from them may be ascertained the exact instant of the conjunction of the sun and moon.


And when they would denote the renovation of the moon, they again portray a Cynocephalus in the posture of standing upright, and raising its hands to heaven, with a diadem on its head'." (Taken from Gerald Massey's, The Natural Genesis, Vol. I, p. 44.)


Can we gather the significance of this phenomenon? So far is the union of sun and moon below the horizon in the underworld from being a matter of sheer poetic fancy, that natural actually marks the event by its influence upon the physical functions of a susceptible species of near-human animal.


It is the heavenly recording of that physiological function in the female half of humankind which presages and prepares the birth of a new life.


And finally how truly does the moon exemplify again in another phenomenon the truth of zodiacal religion! As just seen, the new moon is conceived in the west, the region of all beginning or entry upon incarnate life,


the place of descent into the underworld. It has its birth and begins its career of growth in the west, moving night by night further toward the east. Man, the soul, enters his journey toward divinity in the west, and life by life moves further toward the east, the place of fulfilment and glorious resurrection.


What more fitting, then, that the rising of the moon in its full glory, when it typifies the completed and perfected human-divine, the man become god, should take place in the east, the gate of the resurrection!


The young new moon appears and mounts in the west; the full moon in the east!


The one is the infant god struggling for light and growth against a dark power; the other is the full evolved god-man, victorious over the darkness, arising to shine over all the world.



THE MOON

SIN IS THE MOON

Did you know that the word Sin referred to the Moon Goddess of the ancient Ur of the Chaldees ?


The moon was a symbol of the emotions because it reflected whatever was shone on it. Thus sin is actually being controlled by the emotions instead of the mind.
So you can see how truly sinful religion really is.


"Manifest the sun within, and the sin vanishes, as a hurricane vanishes all in it's path".
The EAST wind BLOWS.


The victory verse, right from your bible.


There is a woman (the higher mind) clothed with the Sun (divinity), with the Moon (the emotional nature) under her feet. Upon her head is a crown of 12 stars.' (Amos 12.1)


One who has learned to control the linar forces within themselves, it is the emotions, and it's in the bible.


The twelve stars of course are the twelve cranial nerves of the brian.


What religious person who goes to church, has any idea of what you have just learned here? NONE!!!


The Hebrew word (satan) merely means an 'opponent', 'adversary', or 'enemy'. In a religious context, satan refers to an enemy of God / Spiritual Truth.


Now, what is the greatest enemy of God? What is it which turns people away from God? What is it which tempts us to follow evil?


What is it which blinds us to Truth? The answer is: OUR OWN 'FIRST-BORN' LOWER / CARNAL / UNENLIGHTENED MIND, the MOON brain!


It is only this 'lower' mind (ego / persona) which brings forth pride, selfishness, hatred, greed, envy, lust, etc. etc. The lower animals do not possess such a mind, and thus do not suffer these evils.


THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MOON AND THE TRINITY

The primal trinity is that of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. First relate these to the Crown of the head (Father); the Heart (the Christ Center) and the base of the spine (the alchemical laboratory of the Holy Ghost) .


This relates to the fiery core of the Earth. The human equivalent is the muladhara chakram at the base of the spine.


At the trikona point lies the stored latent energy of kundalini, which refers to the Serpent Fire within each of us. When roused this has the effect of a volcano, as it pours its energies Up the spinal cord to energize the chakras.


This event, often related to yogic techniques, causes an awakening of spiritual consciousness.


Rising from the earth in astral travel we enter the sub-lunary sphere. This is populated by the denizens of the lower astral plane. The Moon rules the oceanic tides and affects our emotions.


The phases of the Moon affect the fertility cycle of women and at the Full Moon the lunar generative seeds can be raised to the Heart Center if not previously expended in sexual genesis.


The marriage of the Sun and Moon in the heart is an alchemical at-one-ment or sacred marriage necessary for your spiritual growth as the Second Coming of Christ.


This is what the whole of the Bible is all about, yet few even know it.


As long as humanity is under the influence of the man in the moon, the earth will never see peace.


We await the SUN, for it is the SUN WITHIN, that will set us free from the bondage of the lower nature (the lunar mind).


THE MOON

The moon is more than simply a convenient time keeping device. In its waxing to maturity as a full moon and waning to invisibility as a new moon, it is a body whose life appears to be subject to the same universal law of birth and death as that of human life.


For three nights every month the sky is without a moon. But the death of the moon is never final, and the waning slender crescent preceding death is always follo-wed by the rebirth of a waxing slender crescent in the west just after the setting sun.


This perpetual return to its beginnings every 29.5 days makes the moon the unique heavenly body associated with time and the rhythms of life. No other heavenly body provides so tangible a set of cycles, so accessible a cosmic rhythm, or so visible a statement that death is not final.


The cycles of the moon give explicit demonstration of the "intimate parallelism" (Wheatley 1971) of heaven and earth.


These are the cycles that encouraged imitation of celestial archetypes by ancient peoples (Eliade 1959) and became religious symbols expressive of the order of nature (Geertz 1973).


Hunting cultures often ascribe success of the hunt to the moon and give the moon greater status and power than the sun. The reverse is generally true for agricultural societies for whom the powerful role of the sun in evoking life from the earth is undeni-able.


For example, in the mythologies of the Bushmen of southern Africa and the Austra-lian aborigines the moon is more important than the sun.


Hunters pray to the moon for success partly because hunting is a nighttime activity when the moon provides illumi-nation, especially during the bright half of the lunar month preceding full moon.


Besides the lunar month of 29.5 days there is the human biological (menstrual) month also of approximately 29.5 days. A grat year is every 29, 500 years.


It is esoteric fact that the moon rules over the imagination, and both during full moon and new moon windows the imagination is particularly prone to being misapplied, meaning misunderstandings, false suspicions, and unfounded worries increase. But whereas the new moon exacerbates introspective turmoil, full moon externalizes the trouble.


What accounts for the qualitative difference? None other than the particular alignment between earth, moon, and sun. During a full moon, the earth is between sun and moon, meaning the latter two are astrologically in opposition.


Whereas the sun represents spirit, the moon represents one’s shadow self. When in opposition, the light of spirit is misdirected by the mechanical pressures of the shadow self, meaning energy is expressed but in an outwardly harmful way, thus its association with overreaction and violence.


When new, the moon is between sun and earth, energetically blocking or filtering the solar energies. The shadow self stifles the light of spirit, thus the implosive quality of this alignment and its association with oversensitivity and depression.


To illustrate, in my experience certain vulnerable forum members tend to get moody during the new moon and overreact to misperceived criticism or get depressed and give their farewell, while during a full moon people are more likely to lash out when the lunatics crawl from the woodwork to provoke at the most sensitive times.


This is not a fast rule, just a general observation. How these energies manifest elsewhere depends on the context, and the lunar influence manifests through whatever means are at hand to extract the greatest amount of emotional anguish.


Nevertheless, it would be incorrect to blame the moon exclusively as the cause of troubles, as during more harmonious astrological alignments it actually supports healthy mechanical functioning.



When the moon is trine or sextile to the sun, meaning in between new and full and at least a day away from quarter moon, the lunar influence sustains peaceful progress. So one could equally say that four times a month the moon supports tranquility.


The moon is by no means the only cyclical factor pulling our strings. There are numerous other cycles from personal to national to global and cosmic. Most of these have biological or astrological origins. While the astrological ones are important to consider, particularly certain planetary aspects, I consider the lunar influence to be the strongest and most observable.


It is no secret that hyperdimensional attacks are directed at a target’s weakest spots at the weakest moments. That is simply a matter of efficiency and logistics.

Astrology is an important part of determining this timing because the realm dynamics between attacker and target are greatly influenced by celestial alignments.


Different alignments impress upon a given location different spectra of vibrations which in turn resonate corresponding elements within the souls of individuals in the vicinity; the manner in which they vibrate pulls from reality a corresponding set of experiences and learning lessons.


Certain vibrations correspond to learning lessons involving confrontation, violence, and attack, and it is when these vibrations are strongest for an individual that astral and hyperdimensional attackers find it easiest to fulfill their role in his experiences. A more thorough explanation can be found in my article Realm Dynamics.


While certain lunar alignments exacerbate certain mechanical tendencies which in turn can create emotional turmoil,

I have found that the moon’s primary function during such times is merely to open a window between the darker realms and this world.


Whether this window of opportunity is actually utilized depends on the individual in question and whether the attackers have the necessary interest and resources.


In other words, the turbulent experiences that may arise during critical lunar days are not necessarily deterministically created by the moon, rather the moon opens a window during which intelligent forces can at their own discretion and choice of timing initiate an episode of feeding or sabotage.


The reason I say this is because through certain means already described I can detect well in advance of a lunar influence period what plans for sabotage are already in the works.


There is an active intelligence behind many of these episodes, evidenced for example by the periodic abduction and posthypnotic programming of key individuals who will take part in the next disturbance. Or, in the days preceding a sabotage attempt coinciding with a lunar window, one will experience increased ear ringing and deja vu, respectively signifying monitoring attempts and timeline editing by hyperdimensional forces.


Practical Matters

There are a variety of reasons why some people seem to experience the lunar influence more than others.


First, active targeting plays a large part in the worst of the trouble, those who are not targeted will not experience much trouble other than some crankiness between themselves and others.


Second, where the moon is placed in one’s natal chart (what the lunar configuration was at moment of birth) may play a role in how strongly its mechanizing influence trespasses into one’s emotional and psychological states. Different people have different natal charts and will thus be influenced to different degrees.


Third, although this is speculative, I suspect geographic latitude factors into how strongly one falls within the earth-moon energy conduit; because the moon orbits around the earth’s equator with a maximum eight degree deviation north or south, those nearer to the equator will be more deeply caught up in the gravitational line of tension between earth and moon while those in the higher latitudes might experience the lunar influence more weakly.


IMPORTANT!!!

And fourth, the lower one’s soul frequency, the greater one’s mechanical tendencies, and the less esoterically developed one is, the greater the lunar effect.


It would take fission from the base matters of the soul and fusion of the nobler qualities to gain victory over the lunar influence within oneself, and great wisdom and compassion to handle whatever disruptions may arise among others. In fact, it is toward this end that the moon can actually catalyze our progress by making us aware of our weaknesses.





Enki - Satan

from EarthHistory Website


The Enki, Satan (Devil) doctrine

In the coming story we will find a contradiction with the original story and the rewritten story of the sin fall as regarding to Monotheism.


It is obvious that the author who rewrote this story was convinced of the existence of only one God and he made the conclusion that the events that took place hereafter were to blame to an evil creature and he made the conclusion that the Devil (Satan) was the one who persuaded Eve to disobey the Gods and not as originally was intended by one of the leader Gods by us known as Enki.


We read further in The Apocalypse of Moses: chapter 16:


And the devil spake to the serpent saying, Rise up, come to me and I will tell thee a word whereby thou mayst have profit.’ And he arose and came to him. And the devil saith to him: ’I hear that thou art wiser than all the beasts, and I have come to counsel thee.


Why dost thou ’eat’ of Adam’s tares and not of paradise? Rise up and we will cause him to be cast out of paradise, even as we were cast out through him.’ The serpent saith to him, ’I fear lest the Lord be wrath with me.’ The devil saith to him: ’Fear not, only be my vessel and I will speak through thy mouth words to deceive him.’


In this verse the Devil (Satan) was wrath to Adam because through him the Devil was cast out of Paradise, a little strange clause because we know already that the Devil once lived in ’Paradise’ (see the battle in Heaven below, where we could read that Satan was permanently cast out of Paradise by the Gods). Therefore he could not enter the Garden of Eden anymore.


Nevertheless the rewriter tells us in the next verses that the Devil still had the opportunity to come in into the Garden of Eden although it was guarded by the Cherubim’s.


The above verse is also in contradiction with the story in The first book of Adam and Eve, chapter 13, where God told Adam that Satan was cast out of the Garden of Eden forever and became horrible to look at and a Demon forever.


Because of this it was impossible for Satan to come in into the Garden of Eden again; So he could not communicate with Eve who was still in the Garden of Eden.


We read further in The Apocalypse of Moses: chapter 17:


And instantly he hung himself from the wall of paradise, and when the angels ascended to worship God, then Satan appeared in the form of an angel and sang hymns like the angels. And I bent over the wall and saw him, like an angel. But he saith to me: ’Art thou Eve?’ And I said to him, ’I am.’ ’What art thou doing in paradise?’


And I said to him, ’God set us to guard and to ’eat’ of it.’ The devil answered through the mouth of the serpent: ’Ye do well but ye do not ’eat’ of every plant.’

And I said: ’Yea, we ’eat’ of all. save one only, which is in the midst of paradise, concerning which, God charged us not to ’eat’ of it: for, He said to us, on the day on which ye ’eat’ of it, ye shall die the death.’


We can read here that Paradise (The Garden of Eden) was surrounded by a wall, it is most likely because of the dangers on planet Earth that the builders of the colony ( most likely the Angels) made strongholds to defend the Garden of Eden against intruders from outside.


A strange part at the beginning of this verse is that the Devil hanged himself from the wall of Paradise in the form of a serpent but even that he was able to look like an Angel?


The conclusion must be clear, someone else was talking to Eve and NOT Satan. The serpent was used as an intermediary between two beings, in this case Enki and Eve.


I mentioned already that not Satan but the God Enki spoke to Eve in the form of a serpent to persuade her to ’eat’ of the plant (the tree of good and evil) because Enki’s intension was to evaluate Adam and Eve to self thinking and supporting beings. Keep also in mind that Enki knew that Adam and Eve feared Anu and Enlil of which the were no more than slaves in the Garden.


Enki was the scientist of the triad of Gods and had the intension to create a suitable MAN to live on earth as a self supporting being (Adam and Eve were at that time still unable to get children). We will see later that Enki once more tricked Enlil to protect his creations, when the Gods decided to destroy ALL living creatures with a Great Flood, by telling Noah to build an Arc to survive the flood.


We read further in The Apocalypse of Moses: chapter 18:


Then the serpent saith to me, ’May God live! but I am grieved on your account, for I would not have you ignorant. But arise, (come) hither, hearken to me and ’eat’ and mind the value of that tree.’ But I said to him, ’ I fear lest God be wroth with me as he told us.’


And he saith to me: ’Fear not, for as soon as thou eatest of it, ye too shall be as God, in that ye shall know good and evil. But God perceived this that ye would be like Him, so he envied you and said, Ye shall not ’eat’ of it. Nay, do thou give heed to the plant and thou wilt see its Great glory.’ Yet I feared to take of the fruit. And he saith to me: ’Come hither, and I will give it thee. Follow me.’


The reader should have noticed already that Eve could not recognize either the Devil nor Enki was talking to her because the appeared to her in the form of a serpent.


In the above verse we can find prove that Enki was grieved to Anu and Enlil that Adam and Eve were kept innocent and he persuaded Eve, for their own benefit, to ’eat’ of the forbidden plant.


We read further in The Apocalypse of Moses: chapter 19:


And I opened to him and he walked a little way, then turned and said to me: ’I have changed my mind and I will not give thee to ’eat’ until thou swear to me to give also to thy husband.’ (And) I said. ’What sort of oath shall I swear to thee? Yet what I know, I say to thee:


By the throne of the Master, and by the Cherubim and the Tree of Life! I will give also to my husband to ’eat’.’ And when he had received the oath from me, he went and poured upon the fruit the poison of his wickedness, which is lust, the root and beginning of every sin, and he bent the branch on the earth and I took of the fruit and I ate.


Again a strange detail that Eve was able to open the Garden of Eden while it was guarded by the Cherubim’s. It is obvious that here is prove again that the rewriter of the story overlooked this strange clause.


The only one who could enter the Garden must have been a God himself who was familiar with the Cherubim’s. Indeed he was and we met him already, Enki.


The fact that Enki forced Eve to swear that Adam also would ’eat’ of the plant is understandable because Enki had to bee sure that both of them would ’eat’.




Conclusion so far:


The God Enki, one of the triad of Gods, was the God who instructed Eve to ’eat’ of the plant, the tree of good and evil, and NOT the Devil.


The Revolt of Satan, and the Battle in Heaven


In The Book of the Cave of Treasures we can read:


And when the prince of the lower order of angels saw what Great majesty had been given unto Adam, he was jealous of him from that day, and he did not wish to worship him. And he said unto his hosts, ’Ye shall not worship him, and ye shall not praise him with the angels.


It is meet that ye should worship me, because I am fire and spirit; and not that I should worship a thing of dust, which hath been fashioned of fine dust.’ And the Rebel meditating these things would not render obedience to God, and of his own free will he asserted his independence and separated himself from God.


But he was swept away out of heaven and fell, and the fall of himself and of all his company from heaven took place on the ’Sâtânâ’ because he turned aside [from the right way], and ’Shêdâ’ because he was cast out, and ’Daiwâ’ because he lost the apparel of his glory. And behold, from that time until the present day, he and all his hosts have been stripped of their apparel, and they go naked and have horrible faces.


And when Sâtânâ was cast out from heaven, Adam was raised up so that he might ascend to Paradise in a chariot of fire And the angels went before him, singing praises, and the Seraphim ascribed holiness unto him, and the Cherubim ascribed blessing; and amid cries of joy and praises Adam went into Paradise. And as soon as Adam entered Paradise he was commanded not to ’eat’ of a [certain] tree; his entrance into heaven took place at the third hour of the Eve of the Sabbath (i.e. on Friday morning).


As we can read here Satan was a prince and belonged to ’The Lower order of Angels’ and was ’fire and spirit’ He was jealous to Adam because Adam was of ’Higher’ rank as Satan and Satan should worship Adam (a thing of dust).


Because of that Satan became independent from God and separated himself from God. apparently he had the power to do so but God swept him and his companions out of heaven, to Earth, as we will see later.


And Satan and his companions were stripped of their apparel and glory and were naked and had horrible faces after they were cast out of Heaven, this will all sound familiar when we read the sin-fall of Adam and Eve later.


What is the meaning of ’And Adam was raised up that he might ascent into Paradise in a Chariot of fire?' There is only one possibility, Paradise was not on the Earth but somewhere above the Earth, maybe another planet in, or outside our Solar System.


What was the ’Chariot of Fire’, you can imagine yourself, but I will help you, even if you don’t belief it, it was an ancient SPACESHIP and I will prove that in later chapters.


The reason that Adam was raised up to ’Paradise’ can only mean one thing he was temporary raised up to protect him from Satan and for the battle in Heaven. Satan was indeed cast out of Heaven and expelled to Earth because we can read later that he appeared to Adam and Eve in ’The Garden of Eden’ after their return on Earth and many more times after that.


You should have drawn your own conclusion already that there is indeed a difference between ’MAN’ (the offspring of ’The God of creation’ and Eve) and on the other hand the offspring of Adam and Eve, as we will see later called ’CHILDREN OF GOD’ although they also belonged to MAN, and finally many ages later shortly after the Great Flood the creation called ’MEN’


When thinking over the story so far we can make the conclusion that Adam was an Angel himself because he was higher in rank, then Satan and his hosts, who at first belonged to ’The Lower Angels’.


Adam and Eve also belonged to the Angels and as so to the Generations of Heavens who were later forced to live on Earth.


Finally we can make the conclusion now that the Biblical term "MAN" is used for the Angels who were "chosen" to live on Earth permanently. Due to their permanent stay on Earth they became immortal although they lived for a period of about 1,000 years.



ALLAH the MOON GOD

The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times?


The Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted.


Religious claims often fall before the results of hard sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah.

As we shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.


Archaeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile, the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of the Moon-god. In the first literate civilization, the Sumerians have left us thousands of clay tablets in which they described their religious beliefs.


As demonstrated by Sjoberg and Hall, the ancient Sumerians worshipped a Moon-god who was called many different names. The most popular names were Nanna, Suen and Asimbabbar.


His symbol was the crescent moon. Given the amount of artifacts concerning the worship of this Moon-god, it is clear that this was the dominant religion in Sumeria.


The cult of the Moon-god was the most popular religion throughout ancient Mesopotamia. The Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Akkadians took the word Suen and transformed it into the word Sin as their favorite name for the Moon-god. As Prof. Potts pointed out, "Sin is a name essentially Sumerian in origin which had been borrowed by the Semites."


In ancient Syria and Canna, the Moon-god Sin was usually represented by the moon in its crescent phase. At times the full moon was placed inside the crescent moon to emphasize all the phases of the moon. The sun-goddess was the wife of Sin and the stars were their daughters. For example, Istar was a daughter of Sin.


Sacrifices to the Moon-god are described in the Pas Shamra texts. In the Ugaritic texts, the Moon-god was sometimes called Kusuh. In Persia, as well as in Egypt, the Moon-god is depicted on wall murals and on the heads of statues. He was the Judge of men and gods.


The Old Testament constantly rebuked the worship of the Moon-god (see: Deut. 4:19;17:3; II Kngs. 21:3,5; 23:5; Jer. 8:2; 19:13; Zeph. 1:5, etc.)


When Israel fell into idolatry, it was usually the cult of the Moon-god. As a matter of fact, everywhere in the ancient world, the symbol of the crescent moon can be found on seal impressions, steles, pottery, amulets, clay tablets, cylinders, weights, earrings, necklaces, wall murals, etc.


In Tell-el-Obeid, a copper calf was found with a crescent moon on its forehead. An idol with the body of a bull and the head of man has a crescent moon inlaid on its forehead with shells.


In Ur, the Stela of Ur-Nammu has the crescent symbol placed at the top of the register of gods because the Moon-god was the head of the gods. Even bread was baked in the form of a crescent as an act of devotion to the Moon-god. The Ur of the Chaldees was so devoted to the Moon-god that it was sometimes called Nannar in tablets from that time period.


A temple of the Moon-god has been excavated in Ur by Sir Leonard Woolley. He dug up many examples of moon worship in Ur and these are displayed in the British Museum to this day. Harran was likewise noted for its devotion to the Moon-god. In the 1950's a major temple to the Moon-god was excavated at Hazer in Palestine.


Two idols of the moon god were found. Each was a stature of a man sitting upon a throne with a crescent moon carved on his chest .


The accompanying inscriptions make it clear that these were idols of the Moon-god. Several smaller statues were also found which were identified by their inscriptions as the "daughters" of the Moon-god.


What about Arabia? As pointed out by Prof. Coon, "Muslims are notoriously loath to preserve traditions of earlier paganism and like to garble what pre-Islamic history they permit to survive in anachronistic terms."


During the nineteenth century, Amaud, Halevy and Glaser went to Southern Arabia and dug up thousands of Sabean, Minaean, and Qatabanian inscriptions which were subsequently translated. In the 1940's, the archeologists G. Caton Thompson and Carleton S.


Coon made some amazing discoveries in Arabia. During the 1950's, Wendell Phillips, W.F. Albright, Richard Bower and others excavated sites at Qataban, Timna, and Marib (the ancient capital of Sheba).


Thousands of inscriptions from walls and rocks in Northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and votive bowls used in worship of the "daughters of Allah" have also been discovered.


The three daughters, al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat are sometimes depicted together with Allah the Moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them. The archeological evidence demonstrates that the dominant religion of Arabia was the cult of the Moon-god.


In Old Testament times, Nabonidus (555-539 BC), the last king of Babylon, built Tayma, Arabia as a center of Moon-god worship. Segall stated, "South Arabia's stellar religion has always been dominated by the Moon-god in various variations."


Many scholars have also noticed that the Moon-god's name "Sin" is a part of such Arabic words as "Sinai," the "wilderness of Sin," etc. When the popularity of the Moon-god waned elsewhere, the Arabs remained true to their conviction that the Moon-god was the greatest of all gods.


While they worshipped 360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Moon-god was the chief deity. Mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.


This is what made it the most sacred site of Arabian paganism. In 19

44, G. Caton Thompson revealed in her book, The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha, that she had uncovered a temple of the Moon-god in southern Arabia.


The symbols of the crescent moon and no less than twenty-one inscriptions with the name Sin were found in this temple. An idol which may be the Moon-god himself was also discovered. This was later confirmed by other well-known archeologists.


The evidence reveals that the temple of the Moon-god was active even in the Christian era. Evidence gathered from both North and South Arabia demonstrate that Moon-god worship was clearly active even in Muhammad's day and was still the dominant cult.


According to numerous inscriptions, while the name of the Moon-god was Sin, his title was al-ilah, i.e. "the deity," meaning that he was the chief or high god among the gods.


As Coon pointed out, "The god Il or Ilah was originally a phase of the Moon God." The Moon-god was called al-ilah, i.e. the god, which was shortened to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave to their children. For example, both Muhammad's father and uncle had Allah as part of their names.


The fact that they were given such names by their pagan parents proves that Allah was the title for the Moon-god even in Muhammad's day.


Prof. Coon goes on to say, "Similarly, under Mohammed's tutelage, the relatively anonymous Ilah, became Al-Ilah, The God, or Allah, the Supreme Being."


This fact answers the questions, "Why is Allah never defined in the Qur'an? Why did Muhammad assume that the pagan Arabs already knew who Allah was?" Muhammad was raised in the religion of the Moon-god Allah.


But he went one step further than his fellow pagan Arabs. While they believed that Allah, i.e. the Moon-god, was the greatest of all gods and the supreme deity in a pantheon of deities, Muhammad decided that Allah was not only the greatest god but the only god.


In effect he said, "Look, you already believe that the Moon-god Allah is the greatest of all gods. All I want you to do is to accept that the idea that he is the only god.


I am not taking away the Allah you already worship. I am only taking away his wife and his daughters and all the other gods." This is seen from the fact that the first point of the Muslim creed is not, "Allah is great" but "Allah is the greatest," i.e., he is the greatest among the gods.


Why would Muhammad say that Allah is the "greatest" except in a polytheistic context? The Arabic word is used to contrast the greater from the lesser. That this is true is seen from the fact that the pagan Arabs never accused Muhammad of preaching a different Allah than the one they already worshipped.


This "Allah" was the Moon-god according to the archeological evidence. Muhammad thus attempted to have it both ways. To the pagans, he said that he still believed in the Moon-god Allah. To the Jews and the Christians, he said that Allah was their God too. But both the Jews and the Christians knew better and that is why they rejected his god Allah as a false god.


Al-Kindi, one of the early Christian apologists against Islam, pointed out that Islam and its god Allah did not come from the Bible but from the paganism of the Sabeans.


They did not worship the God of the Bible but the Moon-god and his daughters al-Uzza, al-Lat and Manat. Dr. Newman concludes his study of the early Christian-Muslim debates by stating, "Islam proved itself to be...a separate and antagonistic religion which had sprung up from idolatry."


Islamic scholar Caesar Farah concluded "There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that Allah passed to the Muslims from the Christians and Jews."


The Arabs worshipped the Moon-god as a supreme deity. But this was not biblical monotheism. While the Moon-god was greater than all other gods and goddesses, this was still a polytheistic pantheon of deities.


Now that we have the actual idols of the Moon-god, it is no longer possible to avoid the fact that Allah was a pagan god in pre-Islamic times. Is it any wonder then that the symbol of Islam is the crescent moon?


That a crescent moon sits on top of their mosques and minarets? That a crescent moon is found on the flags of Islamic nations? That the Muslims fast during the month which begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon in the sky?


CONCLUSION

The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.


The Muslim's claim that Allah is the God of the Bible and that Islam arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles is refuted by solid, overwhelming archeological evidence.


Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by all those who follow the Torah and Gospel. moongod.htm


Islam is the MOON, which is the LOWER nature, the nature that has no Sun, no light if it's own, as evidenced by the condition of this world.

History is blighted by the deeds of many men. Caligula , Nero, Ivan the Terrible, Ghengis Khan, Attila the Hun, Vlad the impaler, Marquis de Sade, Al Capone, Joseph Stalin, Papa Doc, Idi Amin, George bush and Pol Pot.

Their cruelty and violence changed the face of the human race.

Who in your opinion is or was the evilist person in the world,and why ?

MAN is a beast, until he/she, realizes their oneness with the cosmos, and becomes one back to their original source.

Until then, you can count on mass murder, wars, gangland violence, religious violence, violence of every sort.
It is the nature of the beast (the moon) center in you, without the light of the sun.





A LIST OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE HATE AMERICA
because America is actually the MOON, and NOT the SUN. it is not the LIGHT of the world, but the darkness.

When the moon controlls the human mind, the following happens.


We sent funding and arms to Latin American death squads (Iran Contra Affair, John Negroponte, co-producer).

We deposed the legally elected leader of Iran and installed a brutal dictator (Shah).

We deposed the legally elected leader of Chile (Salvador Allende) and elevated Augusto Pinochet to power.

We invaded Iraq, a country that never attacked us an posed no threat to us.

We've killed somewhere between 25,000 and 125,000 Iraqi nationals since 2003.

We enforced an embargo on Iraq that created hardships resulting in the deathes of hundreds of thousands of children.

Since 1947, we've supported one side of the Israel/Palestine struggle exclusively.

Our reason for invading Afghanistan was construction of Conoco's natural gas pipeline. The reason was NOT to capture Osama. We let him scamper away.

We criticize election practices abroad, but our Supreme Court prevents us from investigation the outcomes of our OWN questionable elections.

We incarcerate people without formal charges and deny them access to legal counsel and to their families.

We torture prisoners.

We are the only industrialized Western nation that executes prisoners.

We killed millions of Vietnamese and failed in our mission there.

When other nations disagree with our foreign policy, we claim that they are terror supporters.

We fingerprint everybody who enters the country.

We bomb countries with cultures, religious practices, and political situations that we don't fully understand.

We believe that we have the RIGHT to DROP BOMBS on countries who have never threatened us.

When the world offered to stand beside us after 9/11, we told them to piss off.

When Britain took a risk and entered into the Iraq War as our ally, we hid intelligence from Britain's military and relegated their troops to jobs of lesser importance.

Rumsfeld mantioned on TB that British special ops commandoes were on the ground in Iraq. In Britain, special forces are never mentioned in the press.

Rumsfeld gave chemical weapons to Saddam for use against Iran.

We gave Israel the Bomb but just bombed Arab counties.

We re-elected a dangerous sociopath to the White House.

When Rwanda needed help, we pulled out.

When Somalia needed help, we turned tail and ran.

When the Sudan needed help, we did nothing.


Our presi-dolt is a dangerous, draft dodging, war starting chicken hawk who is not capable of speaking in complete sentences.



One of mans most notorius blunders ever in the history of the world


The loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge, the Library of Alexandria, has been lamented for ages.
Alexandria was Last remnant of the Library of Alexandria"


Founded in Egypt by Alexandria the Great. His successor as Pharaoh, Ptolomy II Soter, founded the Museum or Royal Library of Alexandria in 283 BC. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens.


The Museum was a place of study which included lecture areas, gardens, a zoo, and shrines for each of the nine muses as well as the Library itself. It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations.


Over 100 scholars lived at the Museum full time to perform research, write, lecture or translate and copy documents.


The library was so large it actually had another branch or "daughter" library at the Temple of Serapis.


The cosmic theater has outgrown the Newtonian stage, and we need a larger setting to understand the broader cosmic drama. Instead of a vision of isolated bodies turning gear-like in a vacuum, we need a vision of electrical circuits embedded in a conducting medium whose components drive each other and may be in resonance.


We have left the familiar world of solids, liquids and gasses. We have entered a world of plasma, where the rules are different and more complex. We now live in an Electric Universe. And all life is Electrical, there is no escaping this scientific fact.


Plasma is any substance that contains charged particles: negatively charged electrons, positively charged ions, or dust particles that have an excess of either electrons or ions. Fluorescent and neon lights are plasma. Lightning is plasma.


Earth's magnetosphere, the solar wind, and the sun itself are plasma. The glowing nebulas in space, often called gas clouds by mistake, are plasma. The Atoms in your body are plasma. So are the dark clouds, composed mostly of molecules of hydrogen, but revealing themselves to be plasma by their magnetic fields and radio emissions.


Back on Earth, the familiar world dissolves in the realization that power lines are plasma; molten rock is plasma; even raindrops may be plasma, and so are YOU.


And all of this knowledge about the electromagnetic universe was held in the Library at alexandria.


Did you every wonder about all the wild stuff written in the Bible. Talking snake, talking bush, virgin births, walking on water, flying horses etc etc.

There is a very good reason.

THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN IN ALEXANDRIA EGYPT


Alexandria Egypt was founded by Alexander the Great of Greece. Alexander was inspired to build Alexandria from Homer’s Odessy. His personal hero was Achilles and his family was said to be descended from Hercules.


Alexander the founder of the city where the Bible was written consulted with the Oracle of Delphi as well as the Oracle of Zeus Ammon.


Alexandria was the center of Zeus worship which explains why the birth of Zeus and the birth of Jesus are identical stories.



The Signs of the Sun and the Moon


These together form the microcosmic structure of the human body. The Sun represents the Higher Self and the Moon is a symbol of the Personality or lower ego mind.. Your task is to achieve the integration of the powers of these two triads whilst living in your physical body.


Who then is the woman clothed with the Sun? Clearly the 12 stars are the zodiac and the energy from these stars energising the 12 cranial nerves of your brain.


The Great Mother is symbolized by the Higher mind, received in the virgin consciousness of meditation. In the sky the Virgin in Pisces gives birth to the Monads as Stars, with the Solar and Lunar Selves.


It is the culmination and intergration of your physical and spiritual forms.


And it is the meaning of the entire bible story.


THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MOON AND THE TRINITY


The primal trinity is that of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. First relate these to the Crown of the head (Father); the Heart (the Christ Center) and the base of the spine (the alchemical laboratory of the Holy Ghost) .


This relates to the fiery core of the Earth. The human equivalent is the muladhara chakram at the base of the spine.


At the trikona point lies the stored latent energy of kundalini, which refers to the Serpent Fire within each of us. When roused this has the effect of a volcano, as it pours its energies Up the spinal cord to energize the chakras.


This event, often related to yogic techniques, causes an awakening of spiritual consciousness. Rising from the earth in astral travel we enter the sub-lunary sphere. This is populated by the denizens of the lower astral plane. The Moon rules the oceanic tides and affects our emotions.


The phases of the Moon affect the fertility cycle of women and at the Full Moon the lunar generative seeds can be raised to the Heart Center if not previously expended in sexual genesis.


The marriage of the Sun and Moon in the heart is an alchemical at-one-ment or sacred marriage necessary for your spiritual growth as the Second Coming of Christ.


This is what the whole of the Bible is all about, yet few even know it.


As long as humanity is under the influence of the man in the moon, the earth will never see peace.


We await the SUN, for it is the SUN WITHIN, that will set us free from the bondage of the lower nature (the lunar mind).


There is a woman (the mind) clothed with the Sun (the spiritual), with the Moon (lower nature), under her feet. Upon her head is a crown of 12 stars.' (Amos 12.1)


This is the final victory!!!!!


The Hebrew word (satan) merely means an 'opponent', 'adversary', or 'enemy'. In a religious context, satan refers to an enemy of God / Spiritual Truth.

Now, what is the greatest enemy of God? What is it which turns people away from God? What is it which tempts us to follow evil?


What is it which blinds us to Truth? The answer is: OUR OWN 'FIRST-BORN' LOWER / CARNAL / UNENLIGHTENED MIND, the MOON brain!


It is only this 'lower' mind (ego / persona) which brings forth pride, selfishness, hatred, greed, envy, lust, etc. etc. The lower animals do not possess such a mind, and thus do not suffer these evils.
