Thanks for the great site... as a former Christian I've been looking into all of this stuff for a long long time myself... but not only that trying to figure out what all of this hocus pocus is really all about since it's obviously nothing like what the church has enforced through genocide, mass murder, torture, and mind control for eternity.
The bible is a book of astronomy, astrology, and shamanism (the use of natural psychoactive drugs.) It's a book about drugs written by men on drugs. They're tales of the Sun and the Zodiac and psychedelic enlightenment. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Dionysus and many other Gods were all based upon the personification of the Sun, and psychoactive Mushrooms...
Jesus and Buddha were the Amanita muscaria, Krishna is the blue psilocybin which grows out of the holy crap of the holy cow.
The pagan gnostic types and the essenes (who held the secrets to the theraputae) are the origins of these tales from what I can tell. The stories originally descended from the ancient Egyptian and Greek mystery schools, which were secret societies. The stories in the bible weren't intended for every Joe Blow on the planet to read, they were for initiated members who had the gnosis or knowledge to understand what the stories were actually all about. Which like I said they're about psychedelic enlightenment, and astronomy/astrology.
The people that wrote the stories in the bible didn't worship the tyrannical murderous lying "God" character in the Old Testament. This guy just represents an oppressive authority figure that brainwashed most of the people to believe that he created the world, controlled the sun, the weather, and natural disasters.
The real God of the story is the Serpent, and the Tree together, which create the Caduceus which is now our medical symbol. The egyptian winged disk represents the same thing, it's an ancient symbol of psychedelic enlightenment, the opening of the 3rd eye, or crown chakra. The activivation of your pineal gland inside your brain is what it's all about.
The serpent represents the wisdom of the pharmacia. The gnostic pagan types that wrote these tales believed they could only escape this tyrannical god through gnosis/knowledge which they attained from the serpent the pharmacia... the forbidden fruit, apples aren't forbidden, we're talking about the apples of Apollo here, who was a greek god of medicine.. the forbidden mushroom, the manna from heaven, the burning bush, the honey, the bread of life, Mushroom Jesus... which will give you the light of Lucifer (who is jesus also BTW), the Fire of Prometheus...
It's the creative fire inside the mind, which will also dispel illusions of the society you live in. Once you eat these your mind is forever changed, mushrom Jesus lives within your forever.
Religions were created to hide the truth from the masses, not to enlighten them.. if you read 1 Samuel 14 for instance.. Jonathan isn't enlightened by any "god" he's enlightened by eating the honey off of the ground.. Adam and Eve's eyes aren't opened by "god" he was a liar and wanted to keep them easily controllable, not knowing right from wrong, good from evil.
The proof is right in their own stories and ancient artwork, if you have the knowledge to understand these tales which takes some research into christianity, gnosticism, paganism, esoteric symbolism, secret societies, folklore, greek mythology, native american religions, eastern religions and philosophy, alchemy, mysticism...
Throughout history enlightened people have been trying to enlighten us through religious works (which have been misinterpreted on purpose) art, philosophy, music, entertainment. The truth is all around you, understanding it is another thing. Once you understand these things you'll know what all those old songs from the 1970's were about "acid rock" lol... the people telling you the truth have been demonized throughout history....
This website has a great movie called The Pharmacratic Inquisition which talks about a lot of this stuff... but please realize even all the information they're presenting is merely the tip of the iceberg.
