“We have already compared the benefits of theology and science. When the theologian governed the world, it was covered with huts and hovels for the many, palaces and cathedrals for the few. To nearly all the children of men, reading and writing were unknown arts. The poor were clad in rags and skins -- they devoured crusts, and gnawed bones. The day of Science dawned, and the luxuries of a century ago are the necessities of to-day. Men in the middle ranks of life have more of the conveniences and elegancies than the princes and kings of the theological times. But above and over all this, is the development of mind. There is more of value in the brain of an average man of to-day -- of a master-mechanic, of a chemist, of a naturalist, of an inventor, than there was in the brain of the world four hundred years ago.

     These blessings did not fall from the skies. These benefits did not drop from the outstretched hands of priests. They were not found in cathedrals or behind altars -- neither were they searched for with holy candles. They were not discovered by the closed eyes of prayer, nor did they come in answer to superstitious supplication. They are the children of freedom, the gifts of reason, observation and experience -- and for them all, man is indebted to man.

-- Robert Green Ingersoll, "God In The Constitution"

“We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years.

-- Robert Green Ingersoll, "The Gods" (1872)”

The Exoteric and The Esoteric Elements In Religion

The fact is, religion exists at two Levels – the Exoteric and the Esoteric. To put it bluntly, the exoteric level is meant for the profane. The exoteric literal level of religion is palpably irrational. To think that the fantastic Tales of demons and multi-headed monsters and miraculous events of every stripe, such as making the sun stand still, dividing the Red Sea, destroying the world by flood and all the other related nonsensical tales are accepted without hesitation, on the basis of Faith, is astonishing. Nevertheless, it is so.

The Esoteric Level of religion is a Science that is mathematical, coherent, logical and provable. But this science of Truth is veiled by the masque of mythology. Some are repulsed by this masque of complex symbolisms, and unfortunately turn away and denounce all concepts that support the possible existence of a Creator God Force. The great majority accepts the allegorical stories at face value – believe it or not. But fortunately, there are some that choose the path of Investigation, of which you and I are a part.

Within this vast incomprehensible universe, this planet indeed this solar system is no more than one grain of sand on one beach amongst trillions of other grains amongst trillions of other beaches. This is astronomical fact, not hyperbole – ask any astronomer whether the forgoing statement is true or not and they might say that I have overstated our significance within the universe. Nevertheless, we have the gall to take our Tribal gods that over time have been elevated to National gods and Regional gods (because of the political, financial, and military advances of their adherents) and appoint these fabled deities as the creators and sustainers of all that exist. How ridiculous this is!

Within the bible the biblical Editors give the name of god as “I Am”, which is the short form. The fuller expression was “I Am Becoming” (Evolving). I suggest that this is the best of names that any deity or person could possess.

I have written seven books on the subject of religious myth and symbolism. The Flagship of my publications is the book, The Biggest Lie Ever Told, 4th Edition. This book is widely circulated, and is a splendid vehicle for introducing one to the science of Astrotheology. Also published and in print are the Astrological Foundation Of The Christ Myth, in four volumes; Lifting The Gnostic Veil, and seventh in sequence The Secret Origins Of Judaism.

All of these books are focused on the explanation of the seminal relationship between Astronomy, Myth and Modern Religion; and the interpretations of the underlying mythological symbolisms of popular religions - not religious or spiritual interpretations, but rather scientific interpretations which trace the evolutionary tracks of modern religion, from ancient animism and assorted primitive perceptions and rites onward to religion’s present forms. The books prove that ancient Myth/Religion was, in fact, a written pictorial (symbolic) record of the celestial movements within the Cosmos, under the Type of Mythical Deities.

The History of the biblical Jesus Christ is drawn from the symbolical history of prior Sun Deities. His birth through to his death , as represented in the bible, is a symbolical representation of the annual Sun Cycle and other cycles at different levels of interpretation. The Symbolisms are Thoroughly explained in my Books. I have chosen the History of Jesus Christ, within the Gospels, as a means of showing the Astronomical correlations between the life of Christ and other Solar Deities. Most of the biblical sagas of the Old Testament and the corresponding tales within the Islamic Quran contain the same mythical symbolisms as the biblical Jesus. The history of the Children of Israel, in the bible, is pure Symbolism. Likewise for the history of Abraham, Noah, Solomon and Most of the other biblical notables. Their births, Lives and Deaths, are allegorical representations of Solar/Lunar/Cosmic and Agricultural cycles.

My books interpret and explain this Ancient Symbolism. The bible is replete with stories of miraculous events. This holds true for events described in the Old Testament , as well as the Gospels and Quran. Should these fables be taken literally? Or, Is there a Rational , Provable interpretation of the various incredible events described in the bible and other mythical scriptures and tales. Is there an heretofore hidden code or codes that when understood can bring to Light , the True meaning of the Biblical Scriptures? The answer is Yes!

Think of It! Did Jonah actually live within the belly of a Fish (Whale) for three days, and then emerge as a living being? Think of what we are saying, when we take such a story as the literal Truth. Did the Israelites actually cross the floor of the Red Sea after the waters pulled back and made a path for their transit? Does belief in God require the literal belief in any tale, even when it defies all common sense and logic, and sanity? And the many Miracles ascribed to Jesus in the Bible , from walking on water, to forty days being tempted by the Devil, raising a dead man to life , after three days of decomposition (A Gory Thought), His being crucified between two thieves at Golgotha - Is all this the Literal Truth, or is there an underlying meaning that begs our investigation? Again, the answer is Yes!

There are esoteric interpretations to all of the Fables in the Bible and other mythical scriptures - interpretations that are mathematically provable and scientific.  If you are one of those In Search Of True Light, then my books  may prove worthy of your inspection.
