Have you ever heard the phrase that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions? There is no priest you’ve ever heard speak that you haven’t witnessed deceive. You might not realize it, and he might not realize he’s deceiving, but rest assured, this is the industry of priestcraft. According to Johann Lorenz von Mosheim (Vol. I. p. 198), “It was held as a maxim that it was not only lawful, but even praiseworthy, to deceive, and even to use the expedient of a lie, in order to advance the cause of Truth and piety.”
Quintilian wrote, “Quæ solida et ampla sunt diu placent; quæ autem lepida et concinna, paululum quidem mulcent, sed cito satiant.”
“What is grand and substantial pleases long; while that which is only neat and handsome, charms for a while, but soon cloys.”
Christians complain about the Talmud like it’s their job, but I never see them acknowledge how awful their own priesthood is, whereas the men who aren’t hypocrites look at the methodologies and writings of all the Abrahamic scriptures as utter perversions of the traditions that existed prior to them.
“It has only been since ignorance has happily given way to the inroads of science and philosophy, and men have found the pleasure of being rational, that the priests have found it necessary to pretend the existence of a real personage, and a substantial substratum for their system. In the pure primitive days, it wasn’t wanted, there was no call for evidence; but now, must the priests go to work, the people want to believe, and to have a reason for it too! and some time, some place, some probabilities, must be invented for them. Well! What was to be done? Why! ‘Get as far out of sight—and as long ago with your story, as they will patiently endure—say it was in Judea: they had no historians there—say it was in the light of the Augustan era, when every body might have seen all about it: for eleven or twelve hundred years of dark ages have transpired since then; and we’re all safe, for now the candle has gone out.’—Such is the history of Christianity.” —Rev. Robert Taylor, 1828.
Justin Martyr’s Apology to the Emperor Adrian
Nowadays, when people see anything related to Mercury, most of them think of the planet. Some even ascribe his archetype to Polaris. But as far as the historical record goes, Justin Martyr’s writings, though corrupted and possibly forgery, are as about as close to the 1st century AD as one gets in terms of writing about Jesus Christ in the context of Christianity. Jesus Christ’s first and last name are both terms for the sun in pre-Christian traditions, something I’ve covered extensively in the Spirit Whirled series. But here you will see one of the earliest Christian Fathers, Pateres, Priests of Apollo, admit that Jesus is the same archetype as the Roman and Greek ones.
Justin allegedly wrote (p. 76. Chr. 40.), translated by William Reeve in 1716, “In saying that all things were made in this beautiful order by God, what do we seem to say more than Plato? When we teach a general conflagration, what do we teach more than the Stoics? By opposing the worship of the works of men’s hands, we concur with Menander, the comedian; and by declaring the Logos, the first begotten of God, our master Jesus Christ, to be born of a virgin, without any human mixture, to be crucified and dead, and to have rose again, and ascended into heaven: we say no more in this, than what you say of those whom you style the Sons of Jove. For you need not be told what a parcel of sons, the writers most in vogue among you, assign to Jove; there’s Mercury, Jove’s interpreter, in imitation of the Logos, in worship among you. There’s Æsculapius, the physician, smitten by a thunder-bolt, and after that, ascending into heaven. There’s Bacchus, torn to pieces; and Hercules burnt to get rid of his pains. There’s Pollux and Castor, the sons of Jove by Leda, and Perseus by Danae; and not to mention others, I would fain know why you always deify the departed Emperors, and have a fellow at hand to make affidavit that he saw Cæsar mount to heaven from the funeral pile.
“As to the Son of God, called Jesus, should we allow him to be nothing more than man, yet the title of the Son of God is very justifiable, upon the account of his wisdom, considering that you have your Mercury in worship, under the title of The Word and Messenger of God.
“As to the objection of our Jesus’s being crucified (objection: Romans knew Jesus wasn’t crucified, by Rome or anyone else because they never persecuted people for their religion), I say, that suffering was common to all the fore-mentioned sons of Jove, but only they suffered another kind of death. As to his being born of a virgin, you have your Perseus to balance that. As to his curing the lame, and the paralytic, and such as were cripples from their birth; this is little more than what you say of your Æsculapius.”
On this, Rev. Taylor wrote (Syntagma, p. 113.), “Such were the evidences of the Christian Religion, as they were presented to the Emperor Titus Ælius Adrianus Pius Augustus Cæsar, and to his son Verissimus, and to Lucius the philosopher, by St. Justin, among the first, if not himself the very first, of the Apostolic Fathers. There is hardly the difference of fifty years between this apology and St. John’s Revelation.” (According to Reeve.)
He then cited William Reeve, who wrote in his Apologies of the Fathers (Vol. I. London, 1716), “And if the Christian faith lived not to these years in its original purity, it came up, and was cut down like a flower.”
Not only that, but ΜΕΣ (MES) is claimed to signify Mid-Day (which was found on coins next to the swastika, signifying the sun; see the following images). The Greek word ἐρεῶ (ereo) signifies speech or communication, whether it’s calling out, commanding, speaking of, or telling something. These are ideas connected with spirit, breath, the word (logos), and air. Ἔρως (Eros) is merely Er with the Greek termination -os affixed to it. Eros, who is love, is also the sun, whose counterparts are Cupid and Jesus. In the name Hermes, which looks like Er-Mes in Greek (Ἑρμῆς; Ermes), we see love, speech, air, spirit, breath, the word, and mid-day laid up in its signification (among other things that I mention in Spirit Whirled), all of which are attributes of the sun and the sun gods, who are also gods of wisdom, communication, speech, language, and letters.
Once you understand that Eros is the sun, its radical Er with the addition of Mes becoming Ermes (as it’s written in Greek), or Hermes, then it is easy to see how this archetype once signified the Midday Sun. Er is also Ar, signifying both river and lion (ari). With the addition of vav, Er, or Ar, becomes Aur, which is light. This radical is also seen as Or, which signifies gold in Latin languages. The first letter regarding AE, or the ligature Æ (called ash by the Britons), is often dropped among the ancients and moderns alike, i.e., Aesus becomes Esus, Aesar becomes Esar, Aethiopia becomes Ethiopia, Aegypt becomes Egypt, etc., and so Er would be a common way of signifying Aer, which is air. Add the Greek termination -os to Aer and it becomes Aeros, which is Eros. Thus Aer-Mes is the Midday Air, but contextually it is the Midday Sun. There is much deeper etymological symbolism laid up in this name, such as drawing out of darkness, but refer to Spirit Whirled for more thoroughness on the subject.
The point is that there is an observable system of word-creation and name-creation based on reverence for the sun and all aspects of it, which, in an era without technology, calendars, and printing presses to distribute this information, helps everyone reckon the year and all aspects of it so that they can keep track of the work that needs to be done in order to survive each season, i.e., the armies march in March. Were they to set out later, it’d mean being stranded in winter, or hell, without provisions. A lot of this is common sense for those who aren’t detached from Nature, but common sense is a rare attribute to find amongst western culture because we’ve leveraged ourselves out of negotiating with Nature. As I write this portion of the article, I sit in a cozy environment separated from Nature by a giant window that is basically a glass wall, on the other side of which is snow-covered ground with an air temperature of -7˚ F. We’ve temporarily elevated ourselves to ways of life that insulate us from, or mitigate the effects of, Nature.
Combine this system of word- and name-creation with the admission of Justin Martyr, that Jesus, whose name is the old monogram of Bacchus Latinized (ΥΗΣ, ΙΗΣ, IHS, IES), was comparable to Hermes and Mercury, but more importantly, Æsculapius, whose radicals translate as Fire-All-Father (אש-כל-אב) with a Latin termination -ius, and it is obvious that these archetypes are all based on the sun, who is also called Helios (Ήλιος; Elios), which is the origin of words and names such as heal, Elias, Elijah, and many more. These archetypes are used by healing and miracle-working cults. Bach even means river or stream in German, so the Ar connection is not lost in modern times. Bach also means loving in Irish. The sun was in motion and named after it, like water, which sustains life, which is given by the sun, and the sun is a creation of God. Hermes and Mercury are the same archetype, and in the name Mercury are words that signify the Gathering of the Lord, the Great Presider, the Great Caretaker, the Great Healer, and the Great Court, or the Lord’s Court. The sun is the Great Judge. He is the luminary that judges the world equally in light and day at the equinoxes. He is the mediator, or Mithras. Are Jesus and Aesculapius not healers? There is a priestly method to all of it. If you read the following excerpt from The Migration of Symbols (p. xi), you’ll see the correlation of the triskelion (used by the Greeks, Italians, and Irish, and still found on the national flags of Sicily and the Isle of Man) and the swastika (also used first by the Greeks and Italians c. 9th-6th century BC, long before it made it’s way to India and other places that cannot produce earlier archaeological examples, such as Northern Europe).
The following is drone footage of Mesembria.
When I take time out of my life to demonstrate a system, and then you follow it up with someone who makes claims to the contrary, it is effectively destroying everything I’ve built. You have wasted my time and disrespected me. You can hide behind the nonsense of wanting to give your audiences different perspectives, and that’s your choice, but it’s equivalent to being a trainer and giving your client the workout program required to get a good physique, while simultaneously giving him a horrible diet program of junk food and offering him a sedentary lifestyle. There are certain ideas that can be entertained to understand the universal system of priestcraft, which will help you understand history, and then there are ideas that will lead you astray from understanding it. But when I demonstrate a system, and then people are suggesting the exact opposite of it, it’s like building a tower of blocks for three-year olds to kick them over. Some of you might like being that parental archetype for people who proliferate claims they can’t demonstrate, but this isn’t playtime for me. I have different expectations when taking time out of my life, that I’ll never get back, to demonstrate my claims. The signification of Ἑρμῆς (Er-Mes), Latinized as Hermes, is beyond obvious, and the only way I can maintain a positive outlook is to disassociate with those muddying the water, who say otherwise. Someone, without the knowledge of language, could look at this and make an argument for this symbolism being polar, as in being an occult system encoding Polaris. But no one can do that once you understand its linguistic signification of the Midday Sun. This is why language is most important. Stars, let alone Polaris, are not visible at midday. This following coin is from the 5th century BC, before the concept of Heliocentrism existed. So why let someone get away with claiming that solar symbolism is a product of Heliocentrism, a modern perversion of polar symbolism? On the contrary, Heliocentrism is a product of solar symbolism. (The word they’re looking for is Heliolatry, or sun worship, but the individuals that claim this are too ignorant to know the difference.)
For those who can’t read Greek, the inscription on the coin in the following image reads MES, signifying the Midday Sun, followed by the swastika, inside the solar cross dividing the year, Janus, or Jove (Job; Ιωβ). The island was called Mesembria, the City of the Midday Sun, the Greek version of which is ΜΕΣΕΜ-ΒΡΙΑΝΩΝ (Mesem-Brianon). Embria is philologically Umbria, the oldest civilization in Italy according to Pliny the Elder.
The whole point of sharing this, and why I am meticulous, is so that you’ll use it for reference to keep the attention-grifters in check on public platforms because, while it may seem benign to those of you who don’t understand the ramifications, speculation on these matters without evidence is the death of history by a thousand cuts. Do the work. Take ownership of the argument. Put everyone and everything back in their place with it. Once you do, you won’t have to rely on me. We don’t have many inscriptions left of ancient Italian cultures, who begat the cultures of Europe, and that which we do have left does not conform with any other language system (they are indigenous to Italy), so the inscriptions can’t be translated and the language can’t be learned properly because too much guesswork is involved. We do have some symbolism remaining, but if it is perverted by art students, seeing what they want to see rather than being able to know the Truth, or getting their information from modern occultists, then it destroys history. There was a time where I was exposed to modern occultism. I know the exact process of being guided by others who feign enlightenment, who assert themselves as the arbiters of Truth, and who elevate themselves through their ability, and their organization’s ability, to present themselves as the perceived authority in the mysteries or priesthood. I also know the exact process of acquiring so much knowledge that no one can hide anything from you anymore. I know the process of looking at alphabets and symbolism and seeing the same system in every one of them to such a degree that it is akin to reconciling the tongues at Babel. The ability to hide things in plain sight is useful if you can do it in ways that require the knowledge to recognize them, because those who can read the signs are at such a degree of learning that they are your own kind even if you have disagreements.
Why do I syncretize this priestly system that is based on the most important luminary in heaven, the sun, and spend so much time on it? It’s because the system’s significance was obfuscated, destroyed, lost, perverted, and then pawned off as history, during the period of eleven or twelve hundred years of dark ages after the collapse of the empire in Europe, by wicked men who called themselves “good fellows”, that the majority of people in western culture conceded authority to, sought guidance from, and elevated the social status of. It’d be like a professional sport allowing a homeless crackhead to take over all operations of it, who then hires other junkies to own the teams, control the media and journalists, the coaches, the players, the referees, and every other aspect. Do you think that sport would maintain any of its former tradition and standards? Do you think that league would maintain the integrity of the game? Of course not. The priest class ruined the integrity of the nations and the integrity of the religious traditions. They need to be exposed if any of these things are to be restored in some form that facilitates people becoming their best versions. Religion is not all bad. Maintaining standards and customs is a good thing. Using them to enslave people and deprive them of the fruits of their labor is a bad thing.
During that period of ignorance, for a lack of a better word, the priests and rulers manipulated these mystery school systems and converted them to a historical context, which now most people believe as history! It’s hilarious and tragic at the same time because we are in the middle of it all. This isn’t us looking back on history and having a laugh at the ancients for being gullible pappy-minded fools. We are the ones that posterity will look back on and laugh about, unless we dispel our ignorance and reverse it. Then we will be known as the culture who finally broke the yoke of priestcraft, freed everyone else, protected our posterity, and then inspired renaissance. Which way, western man?
There is a citation that was attributed to Tertullian (c. 155 - 220 AD), the first of all the Latin Fathers, ironically called the father of Latin Christianity and the founder of Western Theology. My issues with this are predictable: none of the manuscripts remaining are his. They are copies passed through the ages, the earliest dating to the 9th century AD, while the rest date to the 15th century AD. So, there are manuscripts attributed to a Carthaginian or Numidian named Tertullian, that are clearly not from him, but written by someone from 6-7 centuries after he existed. Ladies and gentlemen, the United States isn’t even three centuries old. What the hell could any of you be depended on for accounting the events in the 18th century? Nothing except for the artifacts you could produce would be dependable. Yet there are no artifacts to corroborate the authenticity of the manuscripts attributed to Tertullian. This is actually a good thing for Christians, because the work attributed to him is nothing less than mockery, an inside joke, something only priests could get away with because the masses weren’t literate during this era.
Tertullian wrote (De Carne Christi), “Alias non invenio materias confusionis, quæ me per contemptum ruboris probent, bene impudentem et feliciter stultum. Natus est Dei filius non pudet quia pudendum est; Et mortuus est Dei filius, prorsus credible est, quia ineptum est. Et sepultus, resurrexit, certum est quia impossibile.”
Rev. Robert Taylor (Ib. pp. 114, 115.) translated this as, “I find no other means to prove myself to be impudent with success, and happily a fool, than by my contempt of shame; as for instance, I maintain that the Son of God was born; why am I not ashamed of maintaining such a thing? Why! but because it is itself, a shameful thing. I maintain that the son of God died; well, that is wholly credible, because it is monstrously absurd. I maintain, that after having been buried, he rose again; and that I take to be absolutely true, because it was manifestly impossible.”
Here we are, a thousand years later from the copy, but perhaps nearly two thousand years later from the original work, and those connected to the Priests of Apollo are still using verbal legerdemain like this. I am reminded of a gem from Elon Musk, as his organization Tesla pretended to launch a car into outer space, “You know it’s real because it looks so fake.”
This isn’t wrong. Rev. Taylor was correct. This is a bad look for Christians, and for those of you who will claim that the version of Christianity from the Fathers and the Church isn’t real Christianity, and all the other excuses you make for the absurdities of Abrahamic religion (in the context of history), the version of Christianity offered to you by any of the early Fathers, including the father of ecclesiastical history, Eusebius, is the product of proven forgers and degenerates. You don’t know any other Christianity other than the demonic inversion of it presented to you by the priests. So-called Christians mocked the real version of Christianity and demonized those who knew what it was, calling them pagans. Look no further than the oath that the orthodox priests made Manichaeans take if they wanted to be converted. “I curse Zarades (Zoroaster) who, Manes said, had appeared as a God before his time among the Indians and Persians, and whom he calls the sun (they all knew these archetypes were the sun). I curse those who say Christ is the sun, and who make prayers to the sun, and to the moon, and to the stars, and pay attention to them as if they were really Gods, and who give them titles of the most lucid Gods, and who do not pray to the true God, only towards the East, but who turn themselves round, following the motions of the sun with their innumerable supplications. I curse those persons who say that Zarades and Budas (Buddha) and Christ and Manichæus and the sun are all one and the same.”
Rev. Taylor wrote (Ib. p. 123.), “It should be steadily borne in remembrance that the terms Christ, Christ our Saviour, our Lord, our Blessed Lord and Saviour, are epithets that have no identification in them. They were of familiar application, and in continual recurrence as applied to the sun, to Jupiter, to Bacchus, Apollo, Adonis, &c., in the multifarious systems of Heliolatry and Idolatry, that had for antecedent ages of ages, subjugated the abused reason of mankind.”
It’s quite the position the priests put themselves in and then put other people in. Those who acknowledge the Truth, which is that Jesus Christ never existed in the flesh during the 1st century AD, other than the sun’s energy in the flesh of the grape, are the spirit of the antichrist, which has apparently been in the world for as long as Christianity has. The same scripture that describes Jesus saying, “And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free,” also condemns anyone who speaks the Truth, labeling them the antichrist. Now you know why the chronology of history is so erroneous and why the cultural diffusion that is observed worldwide is not consistent with anything in scripture and totally debunks Mosaic history. Those dark ages were induced by the priests. We’re still in them. There are few areas of research in which the Truth cannot be erased or concealed if the investigator is aware of the language and philology of a culture.
Rev. Taylor wrote (Syntagma, p. 120.), “The Gospels, therefore, on which they founded their various systems, had obtained authority and prevalence, long, very long, before the time which should suit with them; and however modified, castigated, and ascribed to other authorities, were really pagan in their origin, and were brought in by the Gnostics, Valentinians, Essenes, Therapeutæ, and various other itinerant adventurers and traveling philosophers, from the sacred legends of the Hindoo, Phœnician, and Grecian mythologies.
“If we believe the testimony of the Fathers, we must abide the conclusions to which they conduct us; and yet one and all, from Tertullian in the second, to Lactantius in the fourth century, quote as genuine, those Sibylline verses which related the whole story of Christ’s incarnation, death, resurrection, and miracles to Tarquinius Priscus, 717 years before Christ, almost in the very words of the Gospels.”
Again (p. 122.), “It is well known, that the whole of Ecclesiastical History must stand or fall with the character of its great pillar, Eusebius. Well, Lardner, after making admissions with respect to this great Father of Christianity, little calculated to strengthen any man’s faith, stumbles at last upon the very door that would let out every thing—but bangs it in our faces and is gone—’tis the blue chamber—the Truth is there! But here’s a peep through the key-hole. ‘It is wonderful, that Eusebius should think Philo’s Therapeutæ were Christians, and that their ancient writings were our gospels and epistles!!!’ (Vol. 2. p. 361.) No! it is not wonderful that he should think so—the wonder is, that he should have said so. A hundred thousand volumes are contained in that saying’s sense!”
Again (Ib. p. 125.), “A regular succession of the most learned and intelligent of the Christian Fathers, from and in the apostolic age, steadily maintained, that Christ never had any real existence as a man; that he was merely a phantom or hobgoblin, and that all the business of this crucifixion and miracles took place only in vision. These, from the Greek word, which expresses their sentiment, are called the Docetæ, or Docetian Fathers, as opposed to the Ebionite, or Beggar Heretics, who maintained the contrary hypothesis, that Jesus had a real existence. The previous prevalence of these conflicting opinions may be discerned even in the present garbled and transmuted text of our New Testament.”
In case you weren’t keeping score, the Ebionites won the game. The Ebionites viewed poverty as a blessing, and of course this is why Communism and Christianity are inseparable. And here we are today, where the agendas are driven by organizations like the WEF, where they produce classic taglines like, “You will own nothing and be happy!”
The ideology of the wicked is one of idle beggars wrought with laziness and entitlement. Such is the luxury of those who control the monetary systems and governments. Their mentality is simple, “You give us the fruits of your labor and we’ll enjoy them for you, in the name of Jesus. Pay those tithes. You’re giving a portion of your wealth to God (but really it’s for us to own everything, fund our escapades, and keep you poor so you never have the abundance to create a system that surpasses ours).”
If you’re interested in being brought up to speed in the most efficient and comprehensive way possible, go through the Spirit Whirled series.
Let us continue with Lhuyd’s research and the affinity of British, Latin, and Etrusco-Phoenician tongues, since it’s evident much of the nonsense purported to be Christian is of Etrusco-Phoenician origin, which Celtic descends from.
