Preface

In Modern Christian tradition, the Biblical Jesus was born (berthed) at the Winter Solstice of a Virgin Mother through Immaculate Conception, after which he was hidden in Egypt, was Baptized in Water, performed miracles and faced off against the Devil in the Desert for forty days and nights, thereafter being Crucified “between two thieves”, after which his mortal body was placed inside a tomb at a location referred to as Cavalry for a period 0f three Days while he raised the dead from Hell before Resurrecting and Ascending to Heaven.

Three Days in Hell / Raising the Dead

According to the New Testament, during the three days immediately following the Crucifixion of the Biblical Jesus, while his mortal body “Lay in State” in the tomb, he simultaneously spent “Three Days Raising the Dead in Hell”. This prose is similar to the allegory written regarding Jonah, which claims that Jonah spent Three Days in “the Belly of the Whale (Beast)”. The tale of Jonah, in turn, mirrors other earlier fish stories of similar nature. It is written that after Jonah’s Three Days inside the Belly of the Beast, Jonah uttered the words “From the belly of Hades have I cried unto thee, O God." 

But this was not the only time that the Biblical Jesus was credited with raising the dead in the New Testament. John 11:1-45 speaks of Jesus Raising Lazarus, whom was being attended to by his (Lazarus’) sisters Mary and Martha, the three of whom lived together in the village called Bethany. This is no insignificant events, as the Raising of Lazarus is what led to the Pharisees’ plot to kill Jesus (John 11:46-57). 
John 11

The Raising of Lazarus

1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. Lazarus, Mary and Martha are Osiris, Isis and Nephthys.

2 This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord’s feet and wiped them with her hair. Isis anoints her son Horus. Her brother, Lazarus, was sick. The second time it is mentioned that Lazarus was sick in as many verses.

3 So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, your dear friend is very sick.” Although Lazarus was never mentioned in scripture by such a name prior to this. And again, it is emphasized that Lazarus was very sick.

4 But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this.” Yet later the chapter states that Lazarus was indeed dead. Jesus admits that his glory comes through the suffering of others.

5 So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, 

6 he stayed where he was for the next two days.  He waited two more days in order to assure that Lazarus was considered dead, in reference to duplicating ritual. For him to show up early for the ritual would have rendered him to be impotent regarding fulfilling the ritual properly.

7 Finally, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”

8 But his disciples objected. “Rabbi,” they said, “only a few days ago the people in Judea were trying to stone you. Are you going there again?” Only a few days earlier Jesus was supposedly with them outside of Judea. Likewise, there was no initial guarantee that the disciples were going to go with him (the use of the word “you”). Did Jesus feel that Lazarus’ death would negate the peoples’ apparent ill spirit towards him? At the exact same time that Lazarus “fell ill”, the people of Judea were simultaneously trying to stone Jesus, indicating the April’s Fool celebration of those times.

9 Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours of daylight every day. During the day people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world. 

10 But at night there is danger of stumbling because they have no light.” These two verses are not in reference  to himself or his disciples, but of others - “they”. Jesus wanted to go to Bethany because the Light there had expired. His intent was to capitalize on the situation in a bid to claim Lazarus’ pre-death status among the people. The writer portrays Jesus as going forth to Bethany to bring light into the darkness created by Lazarus’ death, using such as his excuse to make the journey to Bethany.

11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.” Illness, gone asleep, unable to speak. This is allegory referring to Lazarus losing his crown or station and not being physically dead, but laying in state. Jesus knew that Lazarus was not physically dead.

12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!” His disciples realized that Lazarus was not truly mortally wounded. They did not want Jesus to risk their safety and his own in order to get caught up in political intrigue. They assumed that someone else would raise Lazarus – and that there was someone else more capable of doing such. Osiris typified the Sun at the winter solstice.

13 They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant Lazarus had died.

14 So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. In direct contradiction to him telling Lazarus’ sisters that his sickness would not end in death. So who was the son of God fooling – Lazarus’ sisters, or his own disciples?

15 And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.” Since he knew Lazarus was dead at this time, why would he say “let us (let’s) go see him”? He was glad that he didn’t prevent a good friend of his from dying?

16 Thomas, nicknamed the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.” Thomas apparently had his own congregation apart from those whom Jesus had just previously been taking to. Why would Thomas say “die with Jesus”? Was the twin a prophet – or perhaps an usurper.

17 When Jesus arrived at Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had already been in his grave for four days. Three days lying in state.

18 Bethany was only a few miles down the road from Jerusalem, 

19 and many of the people had come to console Martha and Mary in their loss. Lazarus must have been very respected by and important to many of the people of Jerusalem (the same people whom four days earlier wanted to stone Jesus).

20 When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.  Martha (Nephthys) went to meet Jesus (Horus) while Mary (Isis) stayed in her house.

21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. 

22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.”

23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 “Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.”

25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 

26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”

27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him. “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God.” Osiris was a god, so his son would be a son of a god.

28 Then she returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told her, “The Teacher is here and wants to see you.” Why didn’t Jesus just go and raise Lazarus and be done with it?

29 So Mary immediately went to him.

30 Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him. Why do they intentionally not mention the location of this place? Initially Mary stayed at the house, yet here she went to meet with Jesus, willing to leave a house filled with people behind. What made Mary suddenly act so hastily?

31 When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus’s grave to weep. So they followed her there. Why weren’t they there to console Martha as well? Why could Martha slip out so easily without being followed, yet Mary could not? Why didn’t they assume Martha was on her way to see Lazarus’ grave when she left earlier?

32 When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Mary told Jesus that he was late. She was expecting him to have been there earlier, which is likewise apparent in her having sent for Jesus in the first place. Yet he chose to stay out of sight out of fear while his dear friend lay dying.

33 When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled. Jesus became angry? Jesus became deeply troubled?

34 “Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” The omniscient son of god did not know where Lazarus was? He referred to Lazarus as “him”, not “his body”. They told Jesus what to do and he did.

35 Then Jesus wept.  Jesus wept. Water as an allegory for the nourishment of re-manifesting seed.

36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!” 

37 But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”

38 Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. Still angry? He should have been elated regarding what was to come. Anger is an odd emotion regarding this passage if taken for face value in a literal context.

39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Why would Nephthys have made any derision at this point? It was obvious that Jesus was there to resurrect Lazarus. Why didn’t Nephthys want Horus to see Osiris’ corpse?

40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” Seeing is not the same as believing, any more than believing in something makes it real or perceiving something is true makes it true.

41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me.  Was this one of the stones that they were trying to stone Jesus with a few days earlier? Why didn’t he look into the cave first?

42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” I don’t think saying it out loud would have made the people believe anything. I think the act of Raising Lazarus, not the words, would have done so.

43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” of the Augean Stables 

44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in grave-clothes, his face wrapped in a head cloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” Why refer to Lazarus as still being dead? He was dressed as a mummy. Who is the “them” he is referring to? And if he was bound, how could he have come out on his own if his feet and hands were still bound? Why wasn’t more included regarding Lazarus before his death? And how about after he was raised? Wouldn’t recording Lazarus’ words be extremely important at this point?

The Plot to Kill Jesus

45 Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen. 

46 But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 

47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs. 

48 If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.”

49 Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time, said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about! 

50 You don’t realize that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”

51 He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation.

52 And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world.

53 So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death. 

54 As a result, Jesus stopped his public ministry among the people and left Jerusalem. He went to a place near the wilderness, to the village of Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples. So after the Lazarus episode, Jesus went to Jerusalem and restarted his ministry there (he stopped his ministry at Bethany even before the Lazarus episode due to almost being stoned by the people there, many of whom admired Lazarus).

55 It was now almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration, and many people from all over the country arrived in Jerusalem several days early so they could go through the purification ceremony before Passover began. 

56 They kept looking for Jesus, but as they stood around in the Temple, they said to each other, “What do you think? He won’t come for Passover, will he?” 

57 Meanwhile, the leading priests and Pharisees had publicly ordered that anyone seeing Jesus must report it immediately so they could arrest him.

There are so many allegorical signifiers in play in the story of the Raising of Lazarus that are presented in order to be taken into literal form, that a full accounting needs to be rendered in order to explain what each aspect truly refers to. But for the moment, in accord with the subject at hand

Which Crucifixion?

Based on the recorded events that were said to have taken place after Jesus’ crucifixion, it is evident that the Crucifixion mentioned with regards to Jesus is tragically flawed, because it takes accounts from two very different allegorical events and weaves them together as one literal history. The summation of the soul’s having successfully transited through matter and triumphantly ascending back into its Spiritual re-manifestation in the Spirit Realm is the second Crucifixion – the Fire Baptism - would have begun at the Autumn Equinox, not the Vernal Equinox, whereas the first Crucifixion – the Water Baptism or Crossing into flesh - would have taken place at the Vernal Equinox. Still further, the first Crucifixion – that of the crossing or transmutation of Divine Spirit into profane human form in order to spend “three days” in “Hell” – would have taken a lifetime – in fact, many lifetimes – to accomplish, whereas the second crucifixion would have taken just three seasons.

Simple Simon - or Body Double?

The First Crucifixion, On Earth and in Heaven

The first phase of the first Crucifixion would have begun in the spirit realm, not on Earth. This refers to when Father Spirit places his divine seed within the womb of Mother Earth. After all, a seed is worthless if it has no medium to grow within. But a seed needs more than just the Earth itself in order to germinate – after all, as it is written, man cannot live on bread alone. The seed would need to be affected in order to germinate. Water, being two parts matter (Hydrogen) and one part Spirit (Oxygen) would have given the seed its initial stimulus to germinate. Thus, the necessary ritual of the first Baptism is revealed. 

The mystery of a seed is that after it falls to Earth, its intent is to anchor itself down into the ground in order to sprout. It’s roots are bound by gravity (nature) to reach deep into matter, but its stem is bound by spirit to defy gravity and grow upward, for a seed cannot turn upward until after it has established itself downward.

The first phase of the Water, or Germination Baptism, is a necessary and wholly natural act no different than the necessity of a farmer whom has just sown his field to water the seed in order for life to begin. This cause-and-effect is a tenet of the Laws of Spirit and of Nature, and applies to all levels of life. It is what distinguishes the living (animal and vegetable) world from the inert (mineral) world. Minerals are finite and can only react. Although they are the fuel of the living world and as such are capable of interacting with the living world as different forms of energy, regardless of how much they are manipulated, they are not capable of germinating into something greater than the sum of their parts. While minerals support and are even capable of destroying life, they cannot create it.

The Water Baptism therefore signifies mortal conception – the moment that the stars rain their divine life-giving ethereal essence onto the dormant seed. Before such the seed is lying in state ignorant of its own divine essence. Through the Water Baptism, life begins, culminating with its bursting forth through the surface of the Earth. Therefore it is easily realized that prior to the Water Baptism, souls are considered lying inert within the bowels of the Earth. The Water Baptism therefore signifies the germination of the divine seed.

The Womb of God

The second phase of the Water Baptism begins at the moment of berth. The womb (the Holy Grail) carries the divine seed within a placenta filled with the nourishing fluid until the time of its berth, at which time it is able to breathe air on its own, shortly after which it is weaned from its mother’s milk in favor of solid food. Thus the phases of the soul’s progression can be seen as transiting from Spirit (Fire) first through maternal essence (water), then matter (Earth), before reaching upward through the ethereal realm (Air) back towards spirit (Fire). 

The term birth itself betrays its true essence through semantics. In a utilitarian sense, the birth of a newborn is no different that the berth (anchorage) of a ship, denoting the place that, or act of, a vessel that had been transiting through a liquid medium coming into contact with dry land. 

Conception itself is a sacred act, as it denotes the very moment that inert minerals come into contact with Divine Spirit within the Womb of God in order to create mortal life. Thus, the second half of the first Baptism is the showering or cleansing of the newly born soul in its mortal state, symbolizing the moment that it is set free from the umbilical cord (Serpent of the fluid Abyss) and cleansed in purifying waters so that is can begin its next phase. 

Literary traditions referring to arks and floods, like the New Testament tale of Jesus’ Crucifixion, Jesus’ time spent “in Egypt”, Jesus’ time spent in the Judaean Desert and the Allegory of Jonah and the whale, all reference the divine principle of conception, albeit two different forms of such. In Old Testament typography, referring to Noah’s Ark as well as the Exodus, the number “forty” merely implied a “long time”. This is matched in the New Testament by the number of days that Jesus spent in the Wilderness. In Christian doctrine, Jesus’ “three days in Hell”, like his time spent “in Egypt”, refers to a season spent in manifest flesh. 

The literalization of ancient allegorical traditions has led to a lot of confusion by mankind. For example, in the Gospels it is stated that Jesus spent three years in Egypt; in the History of Joseph, Jesus’s length of time in Egypt is claimed to have been one year; in Tatian's Harmony the period of time was stated as seven years while Epiphanius claimed it to have lasted two years. Further, Athanasius claimed that Jesus was four years old when He came out of Egypt, while Baronius wrote that Jesus came out of Egypt when he was eight years old. The problem is quite easily solved however by looking at the phases of life in the natural state. 

First Jesus would have had to have been Crucified (Crossed) from the spiritual realm into mortal manifestation, which the enlightened ancients sometimes referred to as “The Dark Night of the Soul”. During this period his divine essence would be Entombed by his ego and bound to his desires, which was often symbolized as being wound up in the trappings of mortal flesh – not unlike an unborn uterus within its mother’s placenta. Simultaneously, this period of the soul’s existence on Earth was often signified by the form of a mummy since the soul cannot physically exist in the mundane world as it has no static form. That said, it is interesting to realize that the phonetic and grammatical similarities between the words bandage and bondage, birth and berth and wound and wound are not merely coincidental.

The time that the soul is incarnated in earthly manifestation for the sake of carnal experience was therefore allegorized as “Slavery” in “Egypt”. The phrase “Slavery in Egypt” has nothing to do with a literal event referencing a people of a certain ethnic background being forced to endure hard labor in a foreign country at any certain time. The term Slavery (incarceration) in Egypt is meant to symbolize the manifestation of life on the Earth itself, upon which the soul is made fleshed in mortal existence for a term of incarceration determined by the severity of the trappings of its own lower natures – will, desire and ego. The true meaning of spiritual prose referring to “Slavery” in “Egypt” has no factual basis regarding the physical land of Kemet (as Egypt was called in ancient days). The place called Egypt of today is not truly the place where “Hebrews” were “Enslaved” in a historical sense. In ancient days, the term Egypt meant “The House of Ptah”, and as Ptah was considered the Father Deity by the ancient people of Kemet, the term Egypt as written in ancient spiritual literature was a reference to the entire House of the Father – that is, the whole mundane world, not merely the Nile region of Northeast Africa. Father Spirit created Mother Nature as his bridegroom so that together they could create divine offspring. Every human being who has ever been born is suffering - or has suffered - through “Slavery” in “Egypt” - often many times. Here we have another set of semantics: incarnated and incarcerated. Incarnated refers to the state of being fleshed. In Carne Ated breaks down literally to By Flesh Existing. Incarcerated (bondage) refers to the status of being confined (and thus separated) by flesh. In Car Serrated literally breaks down to “By Flesh Divided”.

It is through mundane existence that the soul is able to experience the urges and impulses of mind manifest into action, just as it is through divine intercession that the soul is capable of being lifted back up to spiritual fulfillment. To those who understand the true concept of eternal life, existence on this planet can be considered slavery in Egypt. Those who would literalize such into a pseudo-historical account with a villain and a victim, and especially those who would use such as a pretext to subjugate the psyches of others, do so out of complete ignorance or vulgar avarice. It is a fact that there are several different allegorical accounts of the supposed episode of “Slavery in Egypt” literalized into Hebraic tradition. Of those, one asserts that the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt for 210 years; another claims the time to span some 215 years; another claims 400 years of captivity; while yet another claims a period of some 430 years. Each one of those is supposed to be taken as the one divinely inspired literal account of historical reality regarding the “Children” of “Israel”, yet none of them take into account that it has been proven fact that although there were substantial, sustained building projects going on throughout the physical land we now call Egypt throughout the periods preceding and including the upstart of Hebraic civilization in the Levant, none of those projects in the land we today call Egypt took place at the expense of Hebrew slaves. The plagiary of ancient allegorical traditions into a literary pseudo-historical events in order to foster a false sense of victimhood and psychological entitlement to benefit a relatively small percentage of humankind at the expense of all of those who have forsaken their own earthly desires in order to earnestly seek out truth and moral lifestyles in order to transcend beyond the profane, mortal world is indeed one of the worst sacrileges to have ever taken place in the history of mankind. Cecil B DeMille would have done far more service to humankind had he, instead of producing “The Ten Commandments” for the benefit of Judaeo-Christianity, instead personified Judaism and Christianity as the lead characters in a theatrical rendition of “Dumb and Dumber”.

Since the soul is inert during the time of the body’s mortal existence, earthly bondage was therefore considered synonymous with the soul’s “Laying in State” – again, sometimes referred to as the Dark Night of the Soul. Simultaneously, while the soul is bound and lies in state, on Earth the fleshed aspect of Spirit in the New Testament subject known as Jesus would have been Berthed into flesh for a Period of Mortal Manifestation. Thus, the “Seed” of Father Spirit is cast down from the Heavens into Maternal (Maternal = Material) manifestation. This event is sometimes symbolized in literary form as the Paraclete, or divine Christ-Ray referenced in the passage “The Spirit of God descended like a dove” as well as in numerous artworks notating a dove descending to Earth amidst the rays of divine spirit. Likewise, it is sometimes alluded to in a more sinister form as Lucifer being cast down to Earth from Heaven: “Oh how you have fallen, oh bright and morning star” and “Woe to you of earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath, for he knows his time is short…”. It is worth mentioning at this point, that the word Lucifer literally means “Bringer of Light”. Lastly, the transmutation of Spirit into Matter is sometimes literalized into a dualistic form: “Thy son Horus hath burst forth from his mother’s womb and his father’s decay, to avenge his father’s death and bring mercy unto the Earth during the Season of the Storm”.  
Resurrection back into the realm of Father Spirit from the mortal realm of Mother Nature is the Second Crucifixion, at which time the mirror image remnant of the catatonic spirit ascends back to Heaven to Reawaken its own Soul (Holy Ghost) in order to become One with Father Spirit again. When the Soul is One with the Father, it is Spirit – when it is laying catatonic, it is a Soul. The body is but a temporal, vague Reflection of immortal, celestial Spirit. Matter is a vessel created to serve the purpose of allowing Spirit to experience interactions of mortal life through a body. Even the word “Person” denotes this: within the word can be found two roots: pyr, referring to fire, and son, referencing a parent-child connection. We are all children of fire (spirit). At conception Spirit as man is immersed into liquid matter within the womb (The Celestial Nile / Moses in the Basket / Noah’s Ark / Jonah in the Belly of the Whale), then berthed (anchored) unto solid matter, after which comes captivity to the material senses (“Slavery” while “in Egypt” / 40 days in the wilderness / wandering for 40 years / the Dark Night of the Soul), after which the human being is to cross over (“be Crucified”) out of matter back into spirit in order to Resurrect its own divine Holy Ghost (Spirit Soul).

In the corrective chronology of the Biblical account of the Crucifixion, assuming that the Crucifixion that the scribes were referring to was the same climatic summation of spirit’s transit through matter back into spirit, as it is today credited as meaning in the multitudes of centers of Christian worship, such would have been the second Crucifixion, when the Son of God would have been transfigured beyond the grasp of matter at the very instance of his mortal death, not some three days later after spending those postmortem hours in Hell. For his second Crucifixion – or Fire Baptism -  is in fact the summation of him having served his Spiritual awakening by living a life of “slavery in Egypt” or “three days in hell”. As such it is revealed that enduring “Slavery in Egypt” is no different than spending “three days in hell”, through which it is the soul’s intent that the body (man) ascend beyond the trappings of flesh in order to conquer death and be one with Father Spirit once again.

Based upon the Biblical account of the time of year when the Crucifixion of Jesus was credited as having taken place, the three days of his laying in state while simultaneously spending “three days in Hell” would be in reference to the Sun’s roughly three day passage through the Vernal Equinox out of the Tropic of Capricorn (Winter Solstice) towards the Tropic of Cancer (Summer Solstice). The term Equinox literally means “Equal Night” in reference to the fact that on the equinoxes, day and night are of equal length, symbolizing the balance of light and darkness. But the Biblical scribes made a severe error, as it is at the solstices, not the equinoxes, that the sun spends three days “laying in state”. In fact, the word “Solstice” literally means “Sun (Sol) Stands Still (Stice: Stasis)”. From the Summer Solstice in the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun of Man turns southward in order to proceed towards its fall into the Tropic of Capricorn, intersecting mid-way at the Autumn Equinox on September 21st. Thus, the Sun of God spending three days in Hell to atone for the fall of man… at the Winter Solstice.

It is at the Winter Solstice, not the Vernal Equinox that the divine soul’s “three day manifestation in Hell (‘Slavery in Egypt’)” would begin, as it is at the sun’s reaching the Tropic of Capricorn at the Winter Solstice that the Sun is viewed as “lying in state” for three days after suffering through the “fall of man” in order to be born anew. From this we get the terms “Dead Winter” referring to the winter Solstice; Scapegoat, in reference to the Tropic of Capricorn; and “the fall” in reference to autumn as well as man’s descent into mortal flesh. 

It is during the Winter Solstice that the days are shortest and the nights are longest. The Tropic of Capricorn marks the sun’s furthest southern descent (fall) in the sky, during which time (the Winter Solstice) the dying sun, after having suffered through its fall, spends three days laying in state in Hell before beginning its resurrection as the “Sol Invictus” or “Unconquered Sun” back towards the Tropic of Cancer at the Summer Solstice, at which time it is referred to as both the “King of Glory” and the “Sun in all its Glory”.     

It is apparent that the pre ancient Judaeo-Christian authors of truly sacred books used the concept of mortal death not to literally tell the tale of historical events pertaining to the lives or deaths of singular deity figures whom share little in common with the common masses, but as a dualistic allegorical concept referring to the individual hibernation of each of the souls of all mankind that occurs when spirit becomes flesh – the crossing or crucifixion of spiritual essence into material being - as well as to signify the concept of the reanimation or waking of the soul through spiritual enlightenment, culminating in the resurrection of the soul at the time of mortal death, to which the story of the Phoenix is a perfect example of such. The soul cannot “move forward” until the body, through mortal existence, experiences and refines its transition through the immersion of matter into a vessel of spiritual essence, to which The Holy Grail analogy is a perfect example. Death in the truest of ancient spiritual prose is of a dualistic concept which refers to no singular historical relevance or chronological event, but rather to the ascension of the soul through its mortal incarceration in flesh. As such it is up to the reader or interpreter of those ancient writings to discern which higher meaning is contained within the words. If the writer or proponent of such writing claims that it is to be taken as a singular literal, historical occurrence, then it is clear that the writer and/or their proponent has no true clue regarding the way of spirit. 

The material counterpart of divine soul is the human body, which is created by Father Spirit to be nurtured into full awakening by Mother Nature through successive incarnations of mortal being. As such, the man aspect of spirit is seeded in a tomb of transient, mortal mass. As such, the similarities between the words “Nature” and “Nurture” must be noted. At the time of mortal manifestation, the divine soul lays dormant awaiting its mundane counterpart – literally, the seed of spirit, or Holy Ghost (remnant, or reflection, of its own spirit) - to rise up from the ground through successive manifestations in order to become one with its true spiritual essence once again. When Spirit becomes flesh, the soul must endure a period of death-like inertness until the body’s transformation into a vessel of spiritual growth is obtained, at which time the soul begins to reanimate out of its dormancy. The Holy Ghost is nothing less than one’s own spiritual reflection or counterpart.

As Plato explained long ago, during this phase, the soul is unable to consciously render divine recognition of its own true spiritual essence. Through immersion into natural essence and all of the external distractions of mortal existence, it has forgotten – or ceased to remember – its own true divinity, and must therefore leave it up to its human reflection (elsewhere called its shadow) to pass through the trappings of mundane, transient illusionary matter in order to reawaken its own spirit and eternal reality. Until such occurs, our souls are but inert energy squandered and unrealized, and thus “lying in state” awaiting its ascent into a higher realm of essence.

By way of progression through multiple manifestations of mundane existence, the soul seeks out its spiritual destiny, passing through the evolutionary stages of enlightenment from infancy upward to its ultimate reunion with its own true divinity. Because the progression of spiritual manifestation must take place through mundane existence, the spirit must abide by the laws of nature. In accordance with the laws of nature that are imposed upon the spirit while fleshed, the soul must be borne of the elemental essence of mundane matter in order to gain the experiences that will ultimately unlock the gates which stand between it and its celestial abode.

During the animal body’s quest through the mundane world in pursuit of spiritual affinity, the soul aspect is said to lay in its initial catatonic state of unconsciousness, to which the ancient writers referred as the soul laying in "death". This is not unlike an accident victim going into a state of shock or even comatose in order to keep the divine spiritual essence of mind from becoming irrationally malevolent. Only with the healing powers of divine wisdom can the soul slowly awaken from its slumber, no different than tadpoles in a winter pond being in a state of suspended animation, lest they transmute into frogs too soon, which would certainly usher them to total demise.

****************************************************************

Salvation is the result of intellect, not faith.

Thomas (Gemini, or twin) was the true aspect of mortal Jesus. Simon was his scapegoat.

One man cannot save all of mankind. Typically, each man must save himself.

Jesus had Simon stand in and be crucified in his place.

Simon was the Thomas of Jesus (John the Baptist) – Jesus’ twin, who was “beheaded” by Herod (stripped of his title) and later crucified in Jesus’ place.

Lazarus was Zechariah, 3 days entombed equals 3 seasons unable to speak, during which time when he was “shut up”, Elizabeth / “Mary” ruled as “Lady of the House”. 

That’s why Mary did not leave their house go to meet Jesus right away while Lazarus was entombed.

She was waiting for Jesus, but couldn’t meet with him until Martha verified it was in fact Jesus.

The Water Baptism took place before the raising of Lazarus – probably at the Summer Solstice. The Fire Baptism was the raising of Lazarus?
Jesus was conceived at the same time of year that he was crucified. Or by earlier accounts, he was conceived at the summer solstice – when John the Baptist was born.

Why have you forsaken me was murmured from the cross to Jesus as Simon died.

Simon told the other two people on crosses that they would be in Heaven with him that same day.

Crucifixions (Crossings between the realms of Spirit and Matter) are conceived at the equinoxes and are berthed at the Solstices, whereas resurrections (recurrent manifestations) are conceived at the solstices and their berthings take place at the Equinoxes. In order for the Biblical Jesus to be taken up to become One with Father Spirit again, based upon the Biblical crucifixion predominantly notated in the New Testament, he would have needed to spend three months in his tomb, not three days. Of course, the New Testament accounting is problematic where placed side by side with the source from which it was plagiarized, but that is only because the plagiarists were too inept to realize that there are in fact two crucifixions that occur in the progression of the soul through the mundane world back into spirit.

It seems no small coincidence that the Vernal Equinox, which traditionally coincided with the date of Jesus’ Biblical resurrection, occurs one week prior to April’s Fools Day, which itself was originally a week-long festival culminating on April 1st. Likewise, Jesus’ original birth was credited throughout early Christendom as taking place on March 25th – the same day that the weeklong April’s Fool celebration would begin. March 25th was later amended by the Catholic Church to be the day of Jesus’s supposed conception, exactly nine months before the third day of the Winter Solstice, thus making his new birthday coincide with the Winter Solstice. Nonetheless, it is an undeniable fact that the first observations of Christmas took place on the first day of the weeklong celebration of April’s Fools. Perhaps this is why in the New Testament, Saint Matthew considered it imperative to warn that “anyone who says ‘you fool’ will be in danger of the fire of hell”. If Jesus’ birthday had been left as March 25th, the story of Easter would have been more-easily digested as referencing his supposed historicity, albeit the three days in hell allegory would have been in need of major modifications in order to superimpose a literal historical event onto what is, at its core basis, an allegorical tradition. 
If you add forty days to the Autumn Equinox, you arrive at All Saint’s Day: if you subtract forty days from Easter, you will reach the first day of Lent. As such, it is worth mentioning that both Lent and All Saint’s Day are immediately preceded by profane festivals in which people adorn costumes, act foolish and feed upon their carnal desires. The word Carnival literally means “farewell (val) flesh (carne)”. In the case of Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve), the festivities marked the evening prior to the beginning of a three-day feast held in memory of the sanctified dead commonly referred to today as All Saint’s (celebrated on just one day today - November 1st). All Saints’ Day (November 1st) is the direct counterpart of April’s Fools Day (April 1st). It is of no small coincidence that around the same time that Christianity came to dominate Europe through the edge of the sword, the traditional Week of Fools was supplanted in favor of the creation of Carnival. 

The allusion to “three days in Hell” (or in Jonah’s case, the “belly of the whale”) can refer to three seasons of entombment in the naval of the world (the nine months between conception and berth). It could also stand for a period of three months between the Vernal Equinox and the Summer Solstice. However, there is an event that takes place between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox that many people don’t even realize today. This is in reference to the Sun’s Celestial counterpart Sirius. At the Winter Solstice, Sirius appears on the horizon as the dying Sun sets, just after the stars known as the Three Kings of the Orient pass overhead on their westward travels, followed by the stars Mirzim and Gomeisha (“The Announcers”) which “hark the herald Angel’s” song to portend the glorious (re)birth of the Newborn King (the Resurrected Sun of God). The Three Kings of the Orient (East) are none other than the stars known as The Three Kings in the Constellation of Orion. Note the phonetic similarity between the words Orion and Orient.

Travelling westward through the evening sky and arriving directly overhead at midnight on Christmas Eve, Sirius shines down on the House of Bread (Beth le hem). It is the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem directly overhead at midnight on December 24th that signifies the exact moment of rebirth of the Sun of God in the Tropic of Gemini after lying in state for three days at dead winter (Solstice literally means “Sun Stands Still”). The Tropic of Gemini is known in Greek literary tradition as the place of the Augean Stables, which is mirrored in Christian tradition by placing Jesus’s birth as occurring in a manger. Further, in regards to the cosmos, the underworld was considered as being to the south in ancient tradition, in contrast to the north which was considered the celestial abode of the imperishable (polar) stars. As such, it can be seen that the ancients believed that Sirius went into the depths of the underworld in order to resurrect the Sun, and in the process suffered three days (seasons) in Hell. 
The winter holy days were also called the Halcyon Days, a time which was marked by peacefulness, felicity and merriment. Armies would cease hostilities and people would look back in reflection upon simpler times during this time of the year. As such it is worthy to note that the term Halcyon is derived from two words: Hal, in reference to Horus, and Cyon, in reference to Sirius (Canis Major). The term Cyon is a literal reference to Sirius, as is witnessed by the name of Sirius’ smaller companion Canis Minor, who rises just before Sirius and whose main star is named Procyon – literally meaning “Before (Pro) The Dog Star (Cyon)”.

The correlations regarding Sirius get even more interesting. Beginning at the Vernal Equinox, Sirius is invisible to the naked eye since it rises just after the sun for a period of time lasting until the Summer Solstice. This is perhaps why on Easter Sunday when it was discovered that “the tomb” was “empty”, the next words uttered were “He is risen”. Sirius would have ascended just before the dawn Sun on the Vernal Equinox, before anyone could see “him”. Nonetheless, Sirius does not appear again to the naked eye until the Summer Solstice when it rises heliacally with the Sun, marking the day of the “Sun in all its Glory”. 

Even today the time of year when the Summer Solstice occurs is referred to as the Dog Days of Summer. Mount Cyon

The first Adam (original man) is allegorized as being born of a barren, elder mother through immaculate conception by Father Spirit. Although Mother Earth was younger then than she is today, she still can be viewed as elderly in the chronology of the cosmos at the time that life originated in her womb, if she was to give birth late in the year – such as at the Summer Solstice, which marks the beginning of the son’s transit into the southern regions of the sky, as opposed to a virgin birth at the moment that the sun is reborn anew (the Winter Solstice).
    
There was a time when the previous was not the case. The first forms of any life being, regardless of whether they are man, goat, giraffe, falcon – whatever they are, would have had to have been immaculately conceived (divinely begotten) – until the point that reproduction through binary (sexual) means was established. Those original prototypes of all forms of life would have had no earthly parents to conceive them, whereas all subsequent life forms of their species would have been borne of the “seeds” of their fathers. 

Jesus (IUSA KRST - Horus) raised Lazarus (El-Osiris). El Osiris was Zechariah (Seker – Iah) (Ptah-Seker-Osiris) – all rituals of “crucifixion”: “crossing”. Zechariah was rendered inert when Elizabeth (El-Isa-Beth – Lady-Isis-Of the House) was “with child” (that child being John the Baptist - Horus).
