King Arthur, The Sorcerer's Stone, and the Holy Grail

Alchemy was a pursuit of some of the best minds in history. Alchemy led to today's imperical sciences- however, it has its source in Sumerien history.

The Sumerians had the recipe for a substance that under the right conditions had negative weight, gave of light and many other extreme properties. This was the food of the gods, the original ambrosia. Part of the recipe included the menstral blood of women, the original "Sangreal" or HOLY GRAIL This stuff was able to change metal properties... alchemy. It also had many other "magical" properties. It is thought that Freemasons (uh, stoneworkers)have protected the knowledge of the stone, along with other esoteric knowledge of construction. This knowledge is probably how larg stones were moved to build the Egyptian pyramids.

The knowledge passed along with those that knew how to build, were able to build teh tower of babel and the pyramids. This knowledge was passed to Noah in order to build his Ark without mishap. The Hebrews, decendents of Noah were able to use this knowlegde when they slaved over the pyramids. This knowlede helped build the Temple of Solomon and allowed its construction to stand. The bible traces extraordinary feats of engineering that were well ahead of their time. Noah built a boat. Solomon built a temple. Babylonians built a tower. Hebrew slaves built the pyramids. Jesus himself was a carpenter. The royal bloodline is a family of mastercraftsmen.

The keystone was a protected secret of the Freemasons.

One of our cultural legends describes a young man who removes a sword of tremendous and possible magical properties from a stone. We have all seen the Disney rendition of Wort removing the sword from the stone. Even more interesting is that this man who removed Excalibur was considered of the line of priestesses from Avalon, and grew to become the King presiding of the Knights of the Round Table, a legend based on Templar knights of the Crusades. Crusades determined to find the Holy Grail. What if the stone GAVE the sword its properties? (what if the "sorcerer's stone" creatd Arthur's sword and gave it its near magcal properties?) The story makes more sense if a young apprentice masters a significant scientific art (to the extent that most adults could not 'extract' the sword from the stone) at a precocious age.

The soceror's stone is said to be of the substance of the sumerian god's ambrosia. It was for this "stone" that Nicolas Flammel's home was repeated torn apart after his death. Nicolas Flammel s listed as a Grand Master of the Priory de Sion, along with Newton, Boyle, and DaVinci- all such masters of their craft that we still teach their theories hundreds of years after their deaths.

Nuclear physics has discovered that if you reverse the spin of electrons in certain metals, then many often properties described by the sumerians in their writings.

Yes, there is a secret that the masons/templars protect. The Holy Grail is from the womb of a woman- but it is the blood itself that is considered sacred...not the offspring of the womb.

Who Would Jesus Worship?

This is where I'm gonna piss some people off.

Try to work through some of the logic I put out here. This was a surprise to me, too. I wasn't aiming this direction.

The bible is the result of oral traditions written down beggining at the time of Moses and later. I don't think anyone would argue it is the important information that these people felt needed to be passed down. It is from this 'sanctioned' tradition that the bible was written.

Exodus is supposedly written by Moses, eventhough his own death and burial is described. I think the most telling part of Exodus in Exoudus 20:1. "I am a jealous god. Have no other gods before me." The first sentence goes to motive. Read: "I am telling you this because I am very jeaslous." The second sentence is eye opening. Moses' god is admitting that there exist other gods but he is to be the FIRST if he is going to protect the refugees in the desert. But we need to head back farther in oral tradition.

In Sumer, whence came Abrahm, many gods were worshiped. Two of the more important gods were ENKI (The Great Shepard) and ENLIL (The Great One of the Mountain, also 'El Shadai')who were siblings involved in traditional rivalry. ENKI is a loving and protective god. ENLIL is a vengeful god who rules by fear. The god of Adam and the god of Abrahm had traits of the protective Father who wanted people to treat each other well and live in peace. However, the personality of God changes in Egypt, as read in the bible.

The names "Yahweh" ('I am that I am') and "Jehovah"(also god of the mountain) are used interchangeably throughout the Torah (1st 5 books of the bible). First, note that 'Yahweh' replaces 'Elohim' which is a plural version of "Lofty one." The Elohim were the gods of Canaan. Gods. PLURAL. However if you look close you will notice that though we are not told the name of God, Yahweh and Jehovah are used to deliniate the characteristics of God being expressed.

There are two distinct personalities of the god of abrahm. One is a protective, father figure. The other is a vengeful jealous god. In Eden, God is a father. He punishes for distint transgressions, but he is never nasty.

However, by the time Moses frees the Hebrews from Egypt, "God" is killing the first borns, sending plagues and generally nasty stuff. The god in Egypt continually threatens the Hebrews.

Somehow while in Egypt, the Hebrews shifted from worship of the loving god to that of the vengeful one. Worshiping god became legalistic, with "Thous shalt's" and "Thou shalt not's" and less focused on worship universal design. Even today, devout worshipers are called "God Fearing"

Jesus most likely studied with the religious sect the Essenes. This would have begun before he began his preaching. The Essense were a scholarly group. During this study, he probably discovered this switch of personalities.

When Jesus began preaching, his entire philosophy focused of teh personality of God. A loving God. God the Father. "I give unto you a new law, love one another as you love yourself. On this law hangs all the law and the prohets." He removes the burden of a legalistic worship and replaces it with one of compassion for others.

Furthermore, I propose that Mary Magdelene, the favored disciple "got it". Peter "The Rock" didn't (since when is calling someone a rock complimentary?) However, Peter, being male, was able to present a more convincing, albeit misunderstood concept of Jesus's message.

It is Peter who found the church, which goes on to constantly persecute non-believers in the crusades, etc. If one supports teh TRUTH then why whould you need to crush opposition?

The Fertile Cresent Paradox

From the end of the last Ice Age (10,000 years ago) to now, the fertile cresent has been more or less front page news. It is contrary to common sense that an area not much bigger than New England continually draws the worlds attention. Mesopotamia (Iraq), Cannaan (Palestine), and Egypt are all featured in the rise and fall of ancient civilitations leading to Western society.

Also odd, in spite of the Catholic Chuch's initial (violent)reluctance to allow excavation of the Egyptian Pyramids, every public school teaches some Egyptian history...however, none (or very few) teach anything about the history of Sumer.

Why is Sumerian Civilization never discussed even though it created many of the societal constructs we use today?

Whay does such a small geographic area consistantly grab 90% of the world's attention

How Harry Potter set my travels in motion.

I read Harry Potter on Myrtle Beach in 2003. I googled some of the characters in this fictional book. I was surprised to learn that this was a real man whose profession was alchemy. On his death, his house was literally torn apart to look for the "sorceror's stone". Interesting to note that Nicaolas Flamel also appears on Dan Brown's list of Grand Masters of the Priory de Sion in the DaVinci Code (which I read after this exploration began). In tracking the legend of the Sorceror' Stone, I discovered it began in Sumer prior to the time the Judeo-Christian Abrahm left Ur (Genesis of the Grail Kings, L. Gardener, 1999).
While I had not began on a religous pusuit, I was fascinated that Mary Magdelene, the Templar/ Free-Mason tradition and Physics as I understand it. Due to this persistent nexus, I could not help but to begin to question current teachings of modern organized religion. However, it stegnthened my belief in a higher power, and the message of Jesus. I repeat, I DID NOT BEGIN AS A RELIGIOUS JOURNEY. It is the nexus of popular culturr that caught my attention, and how it supported my understanding of current string theory in physics, and meta-physics as I have had experience with it.

TRUTH. What is it?

After I got caught up in this rambling of non-fiction, I realized that I needed a filter to reject or retain the barrage of new ideas that was hitting me. So, I came up with some guidelines for segregating TRUTH from propaganda of the establishment (or cultural myth: read Ishmael).

1.) TRUTH is universal. American Christians and Iraqi Islams should experience the same TRUTH.

2.)TRUTH is evidenced in the nature- which humans are part of, not apart from.

3.) TRUTH cannot be held secret, because even lies reveal it. (remember those horrible SAT questions that asked you to figure out who was from Truthtown and who was from Liarville: If you get enough liars together and interview them- you can find the TRUTH)

4.) Our understanding of TRUTH is limited by our unique perspectives. There is no way of knowing the form of TRUTH. Remember how the six blind men describe an elephant. Each has a version TRUTH, but there is always more. This includes ME.

By filtering the books I've read- I think I've gleaned a large amonut of TRUTH from the extraneous stuff.
