Sahasrara: The Crown Chakra
 | Sahasrara is generally considered to be the chakra of pure consciousness. Its role may be envisioned somewhat similarly to that of the pituitary gland, which secretes emanuel hormones to communicate to the rest of the endocrine system and also connects to the central nervous system via the hypothalamus. The thalamus is thought to have a key role in the physical basis of consciousness. Symbolized by a lotus with one thousand petals, it is located at the crown of the head. Sahasrara is represented by the colour violet and it involves such issues as inner wisdom and the death of the body. Sahasrara's inner aspect deals with the release of karma, physical action with meditation, mental action with universal consciousness and unity, and emotional action with "beingness".[31] |
WHEEL?? YOU MEAN THIS WHEEL FOUND IN MANY MANY DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES??
The Dharmacakra (Sanskrit: धर्मचक्) or Dhammacakka (Pāli), Tibetan chos kyi 'khor lo (འཀོར་ལོ།), Chinese fălún 法輪, "Wheel of Dharma" or "Wheel of Law" is a symbol that has represented dharma, the Buddha's teaching of the path to enlightenment, since the early period of Indian Buddhism.[1]
It is also sometimes translated as wheel of doctrine or wheel of law. A similar symbol is also in use in Jainism. It is one of the Ashtamangala Symbols

- 8 spokes representing the Noble Eightfold Path (Ariya magga).
- 12 spokes representing the Twelve Laws of Dependent Origination (Paticcasamuppāda).
- 24 spokes representing the Twelve Laws of Dependent Origination and the Twelve Laws of Dependent Termination (Paticcasamuppāda).
- 31 spokes representing 31 realms of existence (11 realms of desire, 16 realms of form and 4 realms of formlessness).
- Its overall shape is that of a circle (cakra), representing the perfection of the dharma teaching
- The hub stands for discipline, which is the essential core of meditation practice
- The rim, which holds the spokes, refers to mindfulness or samādhi which holds everything together
The corresponding mudrā, or symbolic hand gesture, is known as the Dharmacakra Mudrā.
The Dharmacakra is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.The dharma wheel can refer to the dissemination of the dharma teaching from country to country. In this sense the dharma wheel began rolling in India, carried on to Central Asia, and then arrived in South East Asia and East Asia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_auspicious_symbols
Ashtamangala are a sacred suite of Eight Auspicious Signs endemic to a number of Dharmic Traditions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. The symbols or 'symbolic attributes' (Tibetan: ཕྱག་མཚན; Wylie: phyag mtshan) are yidam and teaching tools. Not only do these attributes, these energetic signatures, point to qualities of enlightened mindstream, but they are the investiture that ornaments these enlightened 'qualities' (Sanskrit: guna; Tibetan: ཡོན་ཏན; Wylie: yon tan). Many cultural enumerations and variations of the Ashtamangala are extant.
Groupings of eight auspicious symbols were originally used in India at ceremonies such as an investiture or coronation of a king. An early grouping of symbols included: throne, swastika, handprint, hooked knot,
vase of jewels, water libation flask, pair of fishes, lidded bowl. In
Buddhism, these eight symbols of good fortune represent the offerings
made by the gods to Shakyamuni Buddha immediately after he gained
enlightenment.[1]

Wheel of Law
another guise of the Dharmacakra which unites the functionality of the
yak's tail with the doctrinal aspect of the "Wheel of Law" is the Mani wheel. The Sudarshana Chakra is a Hindu wheel-symbol.
CHAKRAS???
Chakras are ultimately as real or unreal as the nerve plexuses
and endocrine glands to which they correspond, but, in ultimate
truth, anything with a form, whether perceptible to the human
eye or the third eye, is but symbolic of a function of spirit,
or definitionless awareness.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_Mundi
The axis mundi (also cosmic axis, world axis, world pillar, columna cerului, center of the world) is a ubiquitous symbol that crosses human cultures. The image expresses
a point of connection between sky and earth where the four compass
directions meet.
At this point travel and correspondence is made
between higher and lower realms.[1]
Communication from lower realms may ascend to higher ones and blessings
from higher realms may descend to lower ones and be disseminated to all.[2] The spot functions as the omphalos (navel), the world's point of beginning.[3][4]
Shamanic function
A common shamanic concept, and a universally told story, is that of the healer traversing the axis mundi to bring back knowledge from the other world. It may be
seen in the stories from Odin and the World Ash Tree to the Garden of Eden and Jacob's Ladder to Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel. It is the essence of the journey described in The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
from the depths of Hell to celestial Paradise. It is also a central
tenet in the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex.[21]
Anyone or anything suspended on the axis between heaven and earth becomes a repository of potential knowledge. A special status accrues to the thing suspended: a serpent, a victim of crucifixion or hanging, a rod, a fruit, mistletoe.
Places
Because the axis mundi is an idea that unites a number of concrete images, no contradiction exists in regarding multiple spots as "the center of the world." The symbol can operate in a number of locales atonce.[6] The ancient Greeks regarded several sites as places of earth's omphalos (navel) stone, notably the oracle at Delphi, while still maintaining a belief in a cosmic world tree and in Mount Olympus as the abode of the gods. Judaism has the Temple Mount and Mount Sinai, Christianity has the Mount of Olives and Calvary, Islam has Mecca, said to be the place on earth that was created first, and the Temple Mount (Dome of the Rock). In addition to Kun-Lun the ancient Chinese recognized four mountains as pillars of the world.[11]
Sacred places constitute world centers (omphalos) with the altar or place of prayer as the axis. Altars, incense sticks, candles and torches form the axis by sending a column of smoke, and prayer, towardheaven. The architecture of sacred places often reflects this role.
"Every temple or palace--and by extension, every sacred city or royal
residence--is a Sacred Mountain, thus becoming a Centre.
altar at the intersection. Pagoda structures in Asian temples take the form of a stairway linking earth and heaven. A steeple in a church or a minaret in a mosque also serve as connections of earth and heaven.
This image exemplifies the blend of art and science during the Renaissance and provides the perfect example of Leonardo's keen interest in proportion. In addition, this picture represents a cornerstone of Leonardo's attempts to relate man to nature. Encyclopaedia Britannica online states, "Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm). He believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy for the workings of the universe."
According to Leonardo's preview in the accompanying text, written in mirror writing, it was made as a study of the proportions of the (male) human body as described in Vitruvius:
palmus autem habet quattuor digitos"- a palm is the width of four fingers
- a foot is the width of four palms (i.e., 12 inches)
- a cubit is the width of six palms
- a pace is four cubits
- a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)
- "erit eaque mensura ad manas pansas,"
- the length of a man's outspread arms (arm span) is equal to his height
- the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height
- the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's height
- the distance from the bottom of the neck to the hairline is one-sixth of a man's height
- the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man's height
- the distance from the middle of the chest to the top of the head is a quarter of a man's height
- the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of a man's height
- the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man's height
- the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height
- the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
- the distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is one-third of the length of the face
- the length of the ear is one-third of the length of the face
- the length of a man's foot is one-sixth of his height

A parietal eye, also known as a parietal organ or third-eye, is a part of the epithalamus present in some animal species. The eye may be photoreceptive and is usually associated with the pineal gland, regulating circadian rhythmicity and hormone production for thermoregulation.[1]

Peculiarities
The main elements of Orphism differed from popular ancient Greek religion in the following ways:
* by characterizing human souls as divine and immortal but doomed to live (for a period) in a "grievous circle" of successive bodily lives
through metempsychosis or the transmigration of souls.
* by prescribing an ascetic way of life which, together with secret initiation rites, was supposed
to guarantee not only eventual release from the "grievous circle" but
also communion with god(s).
* by warning of postmortem punishment for certain transgressions committed during life.
* by being founded upon sacred writings about the origin of gods and human beings.
Compare with Hinduism, Buddhism and Gnosticism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophites
The Ophites (also called Ophians or Serpentinians) (from Greek ὄφιανοι > ὄφις = snake) were members of numerous Gnostic sects in Syria and Egypt about 100 AD. The Ophite sects revered the serpent of Genesis as a symbol of gnosis, which the tyrant Yaldabaoth tried to hide from Adam and Eve. As John 3:14 tells that "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up," the Ophites felt perfectly justified in their position,
and Christian heresiologists took particular offense at turning their
view of the serpent on its head.
Irenaeus wrote a history of heresy toward the end of the second century from which our principal mythos is derived; Clement of Alexandria (Stromata, vii. 17, § 108) mentions beside the "Cainists" the "Ophians" (Οφιανοί),
saying that their name is derived from the object of their worship. Philaster, an author of the fourth century, places the Ophites, the Cainites, and the Sethians at the head of all heresies (ch. 1-3), because he holds that they owed their origin to the serpent (the Devil).
In Clement and Origen
Clement of Alexandria incidentally mentions Cainites and Ophites (Strom. vii. 17, p. 900), but gives no explanation of their tenets. Nor do we
suppose that there is any reason to connect with this sect his
reprobation of the use of serpent ornaments by women (Paed. ii. 13, p. 245).
___________________________________________________________________________________
NOTICE THESE ARE THE CHAKRAS????
Reconstruction from Histoire critique du Gnosticisme; Jacques Matter, 1826, Vol. III, Plate I, D.
Origen is led to speak of the Ophites (Contra Celsum. vi. 28 sqq.) by an accusation of Celsus that the Christians counted seven heavens, and spoke of the Creator as
an accursed divinity, inasmuch as he was worthy of execration for
cursing the serpent who introduced the first human beings to the
knowledge of good and evil.
Origen replies that Celsus had mixed up
matters, and had confounded with the Christians the Ophites, who so far
from being Christians would not hear the name of Jesus, nor own him to
have been so much as a wise and virtuous man, nor would admit anyone
into their assembly until he had cursed Jesus.
It may be doubted whether Origen has not here been misinformed about a sect of which he
intimates that he knows but little. According to all other authorities
the Ophites claimed to be Christians. Elsewhere (Comm. in St. Matt. iii. 852) Origen classes the Ophites as heretics of the graver sort with the followers of Marcion, Valentinus, Basilides, and Apelles.
The identity of the nomenclature proves that these Ophites of Origen
are a branch of the sect described by Irenaeus, and therefore justifies
our application of the name Ophite to that sect.
[edit] Hebdomad
The names of the seven princes of the Hebdomad, as given by Origen, agree completely with the list of Irenaeus. Origen also gives the names
of the seven demons. Irenaeus only gives the name of their chief, but
that one is enough to establish a more than accidental coincidence,
since it is a name we should not have expected to find as the name of a
demon, namely, Michael.
The name Prunikos is also found in the report of Origen.
Origen gives what must have been one of the valuable secrets of this sect, viz. the
formula to be addressed by an ascending soul to each of the princes of
the hebdomad in order to propitiate him to grant a passage through his dominions.
Perhaps the secret would have been more jealously guarded if it were not that in addition to the use of the formula, it seems to
hare been necessary to produce at each gate a certain symbol. These
would only be in the possession of the initiated, and we may imagine
that they were buried with them. He gives the formulae in the inverse
order; i.e. first the formula to be used by a soul which has passed
through the highest heaven and desires to enter the Ogdoad; next the
formula to be used in order to gain admission to the highest heaven,
and so on.
[edit] Diagrams
Main article: Ophite Diagrams
SEE BELOW
Origen also gives a description of an Ophite diagram, which Celsus likewise had met with, consisting of an outer circle, named Leviathan, denoting the soul of all things, with ten internal circles, variously coloured, the diagram containing also the figures and names of the seven demons.
Many have attempted to reproduce the figure from Origen's
description, but in truth Origen has not given us particulars enough to
enable us to make a restoration with confidence, or even to enable us
to understand what was intended to be represented. Origen names
Euphrates as the introducer of the doctrine of the sect which he
describes, and the sect may have been that branch of the Ophites who
are called Peratae.

______________________________________________________________________
The Ophite Diagrams are ritual and esoteric diagrams used by the Ophite Gnostic sect, who revered the serpent from the Garden of Eden as a symbol of wisdom, which the malevolent Demiurge tried to hide from Adam and Eve.
Celsus and his opponent Origen (Contra Celsum, vi. §§ 24-38) both describe the diagrams, though not in the same way.
Celsus describes them as ten separate circles, circumscribed by one
circle, the world-soul, Leviathan, divided by a thick black line, Tartarus, together with a square, with words said at the gates of Paradise. Further to this, the Ophites are said by Celsus to add the sayings of prophets,
and circles upon circles, with some things written within the two great
cosmological circles representing God the Father, and God the Son.
Origen maintains that there were two concentric circles, across the diameter of which were inscribed the words ΠΑΤΗΡ ("father") and ΥΙΟC
("son"); a smaller circle hung from the larger one, with the words
ΑΓΑΠΗ ("love"). A wall divides the realm of light from the middle
realm. Two other concentric circles, one light and one dark, represent
light and shadow.
Hanging from this double circle was a circle with the inscription ΖΩΗ ("life"), and this enclosed two other circles which
intersected each other and formed a rhomboid. In the common field were
the words ΣΟΦΙΑC ΦΥCΙC ("the nature of wisdom"), above ΓΝΩCΙC
("knowledge"), and below ΣΟΦΙΑ ("wisdom"); in the rhomboid was ΣΟΦΙΑC
ΠΡΟΝΟΙΑ ("the providence of wisdom"). There were altogether seven
circles, with the names of seven archons:
* Michael, in the form of a lion
* Suriel, of a bull
* Raphael, of a dragon
* Gabriel, of an eagle
* Thauthabaoth ("Tohu wa-Bohu"), of a bear's head
* Erataoth, of a dog's head
* Onoel or Thartharaoth, of an ass's head
The archons are perhaps identical with the seven generations of Yaldabaoth. They signify the corporeal world, which follows the middle realm, and with which the dominion of Sophia ends. The Sephirot of the Jewish Kabbalah may be in some way connected with this diagram. But the serpent as
symbol is found likewise in connection with the mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Phoenicia, Syria, and even Babylonia and India

DID YOU THINK THIS WAS ALL A COINCIDENCE NO IT IS NOT.
Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος) for 'snake-holder', and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens.
Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It was formerly referred to as Serpentarius (/ˌsɜrpənˈtɛəriəs/), a Latin word meaning the same as its current name.
THIS IS KIND OF STRANGE IS IT NOT???
A 1992 survey of American health organizations found that 62% of professional associations used the rod of Asclepius, whereas in commercial organizations, 76% used the caduceus.[21]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius
The rod of Asclepius (⚕; sometimes also spelled Asklepios or Aesculapius), also known as the asklepian,[1] is an ancient symbol associated with astrology, the Greek god Asclepius and with medicine and healing. It consists of a serpent entwined around a staff. The name of the symbol derives from its early and widespread association with Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who was a practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology.
His attributes, the snake and the staff, sometimes depicted separately in antiquity, are combined in this symbol.[2] The Rod of Asclepius also represents the constellation Ophiuchus (or Ophiuchus Serpentarius), considered by some to be the thirteenth sign of the sidereal zodiac. Hippocrates himself was a worshipper of Asclepius.[3]

The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD to take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD

said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and
everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live." So Moses made a
serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit
someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.[13]
The Sethians were a group of ancient Gnostics who date their existence to before Christianity.[1] Their influence spread throughout the Mediterranean into the later systems of the Basilideans and the Valentinians[citation needed].
Their thinking, though it is predominantly Judaic in foundation, is arguably strongly influenced by Platonism. Sethians are so called for their veneration of the biblical Seth, third son of Adam and Eve, who is depicted in their myths of creation as a divine incarnation;
consequently, the offspring or 'posterity' of Seth are held to comprise
a superior elect within human society.

The Sethian or 'Classic' gnostic myth
Commonly, the Sethian cosmogonic myth describes an intended prologue to the events of Genesis and the rest of the Pentateuch, which by its emendation brings about a radical reinterpretation of the
typical orthodox Jewish conception of creation, and the divine's
relation to reality. This myth is typically presupposed by Sethian
manuscripts, and occasionally by those of later schools. Many of their
concepts derived from a fusion of Hellenic philosophy, Platonic (c. 427–c. 347 BC), and later, Neoplatonic (ca. 253 AD) concepts with the Old Testament. This was also done by Hebrew scholar Philo (20 BC - 40 AD), who had engaged in a similar fusion.
The Sethian cosmogony was most famously contained in the Apocryphon of John, which describes an unknown God, the same as Paul had done in the Acts of the Apostles 17:23.
The latter conception defines God through a series of explicit positive statements called cataphatic theology, themselves universal but in the divine taken to their superlative degrees: as well as being explicitly male, he is omniscient and omnipotent. The Sethian conception of God is, by contrast, defined through negative theology exclusively: he is immovable, invisible, intangible, ineffable.
This Apophatic Theology (Negative theology) mode of thinking about God is found throughout Gnosticism, Vedantic Hinduism, Platonic and Aristotelean theology, and Eastern Orthodox theology as well. It may be seen in some Judaic sources.
Sethianism posits a transcendent hidden invisible God that is beyond ordinary description, much as Plato (see Parmenides) and Philo had also stated earlier in history. It is only possible to say what God
isn't, and the experience of it remains something, again, in defiance of rational description.
[edit] The emanation of the spiritual universe
This original God went through a series of emanations, during which its essence is seen as spontaneously expanding into many
successive 'generations' of paired male and female beings, called
'aeons'. The first of these is the Barbelo,
a figure common throughout Sethianism, who is coactor in the emanations
that follow. The aeons that result can be seen as representative of the
various attributes of God, themselves indiscernible when not abstracted
from their origin. In this sense, the Barbelo and the emanations may be
seen as poetic devices allowing an otherwise utterly unknowable God to
be discussed in a meaningful way amongst initiates.
Collectively, God and the aeons comprise the sum total of the spiritual universe, known
as the Pleroma.
At this point the myth is still only dealing with a spiritual, non-material universe. In some versions of the myth, the Spiritual Aeon
Sophia imitates God's actions in performing an emanation of her
own, without the prior approval of the other aeons in the Pleroma. This
results in a crisis within the Pleroma, leading to the appearance of
the Yaldabaoth, a 'serpent with a lion's head'. This figure is commonly known as the demiurge, after the figure in Plato's Timaeus. (Gr. δημιουργός dēmiourgós, Latinized demiurgus, meaning "artisan" or "craftsman", lit. "public or skilled worker" (from δήμιος demios (belonging to the public) + έργον ergon (work)[2] This being is at first hidden by Sophia but subsequently escapes, stealing a portion of divine power from her in the process.
[edit] The creation of matter
Using this stolen power, Yaldabaoth creates a material world in imitation of the divine Pleroma. To complete this task, he spawns a
group of entities known collectively as Archons, 'petty rulers' and craftsmen of the physical world. Like him, they are commonly depicted as theriomorphic,
having the heads of animals.
Some texts explicitly identify the Archons with the fallen angels described in the Enoch tradition in Judaic
apocrypha. At this point the events of the Sethian narrative begin to
cohere with the events of Genesis, with the demiurge and his archontic cohorts fulfilling the role of the creator. As in Genesis,
the demiurge declares himself to be the only god, and that none exist
superior to him; however, the audience's knowledge of what has gone
before casts this statement, and the nature of the creator itself, in a
radically different light.
The demiurge creates Adam, during the process unwittingly transferring the portion of power stolen from Sophia into the first
physical human body. He then creates Eve from Adam's rib, in an attempt
to isolate and regain the power he has lost.
By way of this he attempts to rape Eve who now contains Sophia's divine power; several texts
depict him as failing when Sophia's spirit transplants itself into the Tree of Knowledge;
thereafter, the pair are 'tempted' by the serpent, and eat of the
forbidden fruit, thereby once more regaining the power that the
demiurge had stolen.
As is evident, the addition of the prologue radically alters the significance of events in Eden; rather than emphasizing a fall of human weakness in breaking God's
command, Sethians (and their inheritors) emphasize a crisis of the
Divine Fullness as it encounters the ignorance of matter, as depicted
in stories about Sophia. Adam and Eve's removal from the Archon's
paradise is seen as a step towards freedom from the Archons, and the
serpent in the Garden of Eden
in some cases becomes a heroic, salvific figure rather than an
adversary of humanity or a 'proto-Satan'. Eating the fruit of Knowledge
is the first act of human salvation from cruel, oppressive powers.
[edit] Modern use
The classical Sethian doctrine of the 1st and 2nd centuries has exerted a pervasive inspirational influence upon certain contemporary
mystics and esotericists. The British-German group the Knights of Seth were inspired by them.

It is possible that the name is a portmanteau of "Nasoraean" and "Essenes,"[2] and the retention of the Hebrew form shows that their beliefs may
represent the earliest stages of Gnosticism.
The Naassenes, the Sethians, the Mandaeans, the Perates, and the Borborites are regarded as Ophite sects; however, Hippolytus regards them as among the first to be called
simply "'Gnostics,' alleging that they alone have sounded the depths of
knowledge."[3]
Three classes
Thus there are three classes of men and three corresponding churches:[6]
1. Material (the Bound)
2. Psychic (the Called)
3. Spiritual (the Elect)
We should imagine that these indicate
1. The heathen chiefly captive under the dominion of matter.
2. Ordinary Christians.
3. Out of the many called, the few chosen members of the Naassene sect.
Elsewhere, however, a greater diversity of men is indicated. For the Saviour, we are told, said, "Unless ye eat my flesh and drink my blood,
ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven; but even if ye drink the cup
that I drink of, whither I go ye cannot come." For every one must go to
his own nature. Therefore it was that he chose twelve apostles for the
twelve tribes, and by them spoke to every tribe. So all men cannot
receive the preaching of all the twelve, but each only according to his
own nature.
[edit] Creation
The Naassene work known to Hippolytus would seem to have been of what we may call a devotional character rather than a formal exposition
of doctrine, and this perhaps is why it is difficult to draw from the
accounts left us a thoroughly consistent scheme.
Thus, as we proceed, we are led to think of the first principle of nature, not as a single
threefold being, but as three distinct substances; on the one hand the
pre-existent, otherwise spoken of as the Good being, on the other hand
the "outpoured Chaos," intermediate, between these one called Autogenes, and also the Logos.
Chaos is naturally destitute of forms or qualities; neither does the preexistent being himself possess form, for though the cause of
everything that comes into being, it is itself none of them, but only
the seed from which they spring. The Logos is the mediator which draws
forms from above and transfers them to the world below.
Yet he seems to have a rival in this work; for we have reference made to a fourth
being, whence or how brought into existence we are not told, a "fiery
God," Esaldaios, the father of the idikos kosmos.
That is to say, it was this fiery being, the same who appeared to Moses in the burning bush, who gave forms to the choical or purely material
parts of nature. It is he who supplies the fiery heat of generation by
which these forms are still continued. In this work the Logos had no
part, for "all things were made through him, and without him was made
nothing." The "nothing" that was made without him is the kosmos idikos.
On the other hand, it is the Logos, who is identified with the serpent, and this again with the principle of Water, who brings down the
pneumatic and psychical elements, so that through him man became a
living soul. But he has now to do a greater work, namely, to provide
for the release of the higher elements now enslaved under the dominion
of matter, and for their restoration to the good God.
Exegesis
The writer, it will be seen, makes free use of the New Testament. He seems to have used all the four Gospels, but that of which he makes
most use is St. John's. He quotes from Paul's epistles to the Romans,
Corinthians (both letters), Galatians, and Ephesians. There is a
copious use also of the Old Testament; and besides we are told there is a use of the Gospel according to the Egyptians, and that of Thomas.
But what most characterizes the document under consideration is the
abundant use of pagan writings. For the author's method of exegesis
enables him to find his system in Homer with as much ease as in the Bible.
Great part of the extract given by Hippolytus is a commentary on a hymn to the Phrygian Attis, all the epithets applied to whom are shown
when etymologically examined, to be aspects of the Logos. One of the
first of the titles applied to Attis is papas—here we are taught to recognise him who brought to rest (epause) all the disorderly motion that prevailed before his appearing. To him all things cry paue, paue, ten asymphonian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeanism
Mandaeism or Mandaeanism (Mandaic: Mandaiuta, Arabic: مندائية Mandā'iyya, Persian: مندائیان) is a monotheistic religion with a strongly dualistic worldview. Its adherents, the Mandaeans, revere Adam, Abel, Seth, Enosh, Noah, Shem, Aram and especially John the Baptist.
Mandaeism has historically been practised primarily around the lower Euphrates and Tigris and the rivers that surround the Shatt-al-Arab waterway, part of southern Iraq and Khuzestan Province in Iran.
In Mandaeism, Jerusalem is considered a city of wickedness, dedicated to the god of Judaism, whom they call Adunay (Adonai) or Yurba (possibly YHWH) and consider to be an evil spirit. According to Sidra d-Yahia 54,
Jerusalem is "the stronghold that Adunay built ... [he] brought to it
falsehood in plenty, and it meant persecution against my tarmidia (Manda d-Hiia's disciples)."
In the Ginza Rba (15.11), it is said to have come into being as a result of the incestuous union of the seven planets with their evil mother Ruha d-Qudsha, who "left lewdness, perversion, and fornication in it. They said: 'Whoever lives in the city of Jerusalem will not
mention the name of God.'" (Elsewhere, however, it more prosaically
says the city was built by Solomon.) However, Yahya (John the Baptist), an important figure in the religion, is said to have been born there.
Later on, in the days of Pontius Pilate, it states that the good spirit Anush Utra went there, healed the sick and worked miracles, and made converts, confronting Jesus (whom they consider a false prophet) and refuting his arguments; but
its inhabitants opposed him and persecuted the converts, 365 of whom
were killed (GR 15.11) or forced out (GR 2.1.) Miriai, a Jewish princess, was converted, and fled to the shores of the Euphrates.
This angered Anush Utra, who received permission from God to destroy Jerusalem and the temple, smash the "seven columns," and slay the Jews
who lived there, after bringing out the remaining "believers."
Elsewhere, the Ginza Rba (18) prophesies that Jerusalem "must flourish
for a thousand years, remain a thousand years destroyed, and then the
entire Tibil (material world) will be destroyed."
In the Abahatan Qadmaiia prayer, repeated during baptism of the dead, the Mandaeans invoke blessings upon the 365 who they believe were killed or forced out of Jerusalem:
“ Those 365 priests who came forth from the city of Jerusalem, the city of this masiqta and dukhrana, a forgiveness of sins may there be for them.
Fundamental tenets
According to E.S. Drower, the Mandaean Gnosis is characterized by nine features, which appear in various forms in other gnostic sects:[5]
1. A supreme formless Entity, the expression of which in time and space is creation of spiritual, etheric, and material worlds and
beings. Production of these is delegated by It to a creator or creators
who originated in It. The cosmos is created by Archetypal Man, who
produces it in similitude to his own shape.
2. Dualism: a cosmic Father and Mother, Light and Darkness, Right and Left, syzygy in cosmic and microcosmic form.
3. As a feature of this dualism, counter-types, a world of ideas.
4. The soul is portrayed as an exile, a captive: home and origin being the supreme Entity to which the soul eventually returns.
5. Planets and stars influence fate and human beings, and are also places of detention after death.
6. A saviour spirit or saviour spirits which assist the soul on the journey through life and after it to 'worlds of light'.
7. A cult-language of symbol and metaphor. Ideas and qualities are personified.
8. 'Mysteries', i.e. sacraments to aid and purify the soul, to ensure rebirth into a spiritual body, and ascent from the world of matter. These are
often adaptations of existing seasonal and traditional rites to which
an esoteric interpretation is attached. In the case of the Naṣoreans
this interpretation is based upon the Creation story (see 1 and 2),
especially on the Divine Man, Adam, as crowned and anointed King-priest.
9. Great secrecy is enjoined upon initiates; full explanation of 1, 2, and 8 being
reserved for those considered able to understand and preserve the
gnosis.
Mandaeans believe in marriage and procreation, and in the importance of leading an ethical and moral lifestyle in this world, placing a high
priority upon family life. Consequently, Mandaeans do not practice celibacy or asceticism. Mandaeans will, however, abstain from strong drink and red meat. While they agree with other gnostic sects that the world is a prison governed by the planetary archons, they do not view it as a cruel and inhospitable one.
[edit] Mandaean scriptures
The Mandaeans have a large corpus of religious scriptures, the most important of which is the Genzā Rabbā or Ginza, a collection of history, theology, and prayers. The Genzā Rabbā is divided into two halves—the Genzā Smālā or "Left Ginza" and the Genzā Yeminā or "Right Ginza". By consulting the colophons in the Left Ginza, Jorunn J. Buckley has identified an uninterrupted chain of copyists to the late 2nd or early 3rd c. AD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borborites
According to the Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis (ch. 26), and Theodoret's Haereticarum Fabularum Compendium, the Borborites or Borborians (also Koddians; in Egypt, Phibionites; in other countries, Barbalites, Secundians, Socratites, etc.) were a libertine Gnostic sect, said to be descended from the Nicolaitans. The word "Borborite" comes from the Greek word Βορβορος, meaning "mud"; thus "Borborites" could be translated as "filthy ones."
Doctrine
They possessed certain sacred books, one called Noria (the name they gave to Noah's wife), a Gospel of Eve, Books of Seth, Revelations of Adam, etc. They used both the Old and New Testament, but did not acknowledge the God of the Old Testament as the supreme deity.
They taught that there were eight heavens, each under a separate archon. In the seventh reigned Sabaoth, creator of heaven and earth, the God of the Jews, represented by some
Borborites under the form of an ass or a hog; hence the Jewish
prohibition of swine's flesh. In the eighth heaven reigned Barbelo, the mother of the living; the Father of All, the supreme God; and Christ. They denied that Christ was born of Mary, or had a real body; and also the resurrection of the body.
The human soul after death wanders through the seven heavens, until it obtains rest with Barbelo. Man possesses a soul in common with plants and beasts. According to Augustine they taught that the soul was derived from the substance of God, and hence could not be polluted by contact with matter.

this was to cover up the theme that all western stories of the greeks are really stolen from the poet

GILGAMESH.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh
In Mesopotamian mythology, Gilgamesh is credited with having been a demigod of superhuman strength who built a great city wall to defend his people
from external threats and travelled to meet Utnapishtim, the sage who
had survived the Great Deluge.
Gilgamesh, known as Bilgameṣ in the earliest text,[1] was the fifth king of Uruk (Early Dynastic II, first dynasty of Uruk), ruling circa 2700 BC, according to the Sumerian king list.
According to the Tummal Inscription,[2] Gilgamesh, and his son Urlugal, rebuilt the sanctuary of the goddess Ninlil, in Tummal, a sacred quarter in her city of Nippur. Gilgamesh is the central character in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the greatest surviving work of early Mesopotamian literature.
In the epic his father was Lugalbanda and his mother was Ninsun (whom some call Rimat Ninsun), a goddess. Gilgamesh is described as two parts god and one part man.
it also might be important to know that all three religions Judaism, Islam
, and the bible are written in Aramaic. not in the languages they are
said to be. as Aramaic was really the only language in the region
people spoke and is more identical to the revelations of the Vedas in India . as these were written by Aryans. not Hindus. and have revealed
the same information about paradise.

It was selected by the Canaanites . that worshiped Mithra. as the apostle Paul of tarsus. was advocating this and spreading the fake pagan religion Mithra-ism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism
The Mithraic Mysteries or Mysteries of Mithras (also Mithraism) was a mystery religion which became popular among the military in the Roman Empire, from the 1st to 4th centuries AD. Information on the cult is based
mainly on interpretations of the many surviving monuments. The most
characteristic of these are depictions Mithras as being born from a
rock, and as sacrificing a bull. His worshippers had a complex system
of seven grades of initiation, with ritual meals. They met in
underground temples, which temples survive in large numbers. Little
else is known for certain.
The mithraeum
See also: Mithraeum
A mithraeum found in the ruins of Ostia Antica, Italy.
Temples of Mithras are sunk below ground, windowless, and very distinctive. In cities, the basement of an apartment block might be
converted; elsewhere they might be excavated and vaulted over, or
converted from a natural cave. Mithraic temples are common in the
empire; although very unevenly distributed, with considerable numbers
found in Rome, Ostia, Numidia, Dalmatia, Britain and along the Rhine/Danube frontier; while being much less common in Greece, Egypt, and Syria [62] . Mithriac rituals being secret, Mithraism could only be practiced within a Mithraeum [63];
and consequently it may be safely concluded that areas without Mithraea
were also without Mithraists.
More than 420 Mithraic sites have now been identified [64].
By their nature Mithraea tend to survive when other forms of religious
structures do not; and consequently the relative prevalence of
Mithraism in the population may well tend to be over-estimated. For the
most part, Mithraea tend to be small, externally undistinguished, and
cheaply constructed; the cult generally preferring to create a new
centre rather than expand an existing one.
Degrees of initiation
In the Suda under the entry "Mithras", it states that "no one was permitted to be
initiated into them the mysteries of Mithras), until he should show
himself holy and steadfast by undergoing several graduated tests."[68] Gregory Nazianzen refers to the "tests in the mysteries of Mithras".[69]
There were seven grades of initiation into the mysteries of Mithras, which are listed by St. Jerome[70]. Manfred Clauss states that the number of grades, seven, must be
connected to the planets.
A mosaic in the Ostia Mithraeum of
Felicissimus depicts these grades, with heraldic emblems that are
connected either to the grades or are just symbols of the planets.
The
grades also have an inscription besides them commending each grade into
the protection of the different planetary gods. [71] In ascending order of importance the initiatory grades were:[72]
Grade Symbols Associated planet/Protecting deity
Corax (raven) beaker, caduceus Mercury
Nymphus (bridegroom, or male bride) lamp, diadem Venus
Miles (soldier) pouch, helmet, lance Mars
Leo (lion) batillum, sistrum, thunderbolts Jupiter
Perses (Persian) akinakes, scythe, moon and the stars Luna
Heliodromus (sun-runner) torch, radiated crown, whip Sol
Pater (father) patera (or ring?), staff, Phrygian cap, sickle Saturn
as he sent the message to the gentiles. When Jesus told him this message was for the Children of Israel. Ordered to not take the message to the gentiles and so the manipulation of the church was started. As he was deviated from the path when Jesus left.
Also there are many missing years of Jesus in the bible. and other stories the church will not like to talk about.
that is why jesus said they would send another messenger after him. ie. Muhammad pbuh. to clarify the teachings did you even watch the video
that proves Jesus and Moses and all the messengers were.
only MESSENGERS? since why would Jesus get down on his knees like a Muslim
and pray to himself?? or even be tricked into temptation with sin. ???

So It is said we will return to the times of Nuh, Noah, and Sodom and Gommorrah. Dont we see the degradation of pornography and obscene dignity and lack of honor. around us.???
This could be part of the jinn mega ritual. notice that religions are rituals worshiping god. and cults and black satanic rituals are RITUALS WORSHIPING OTHER 'GODS'
this is the point.
There are more books that await us that have not been written . they are not prophecy.. they are a collection of the observations as I will
point out we only have two books according to Islamic philosophy of the
prophet.
in the next coming years shall be revealed more books. there is said to
be around 27 in number. we possess 2-5 . i have to go but i will fill
you in when i get the time on what this is all about.
it is a big clue about your spiritual connection with god and the
cosmos. as there are many things that i have given you to help you. but
there is a certain way to decipher and to know how exactly the intent
is when we transcend and connect with god.
as when you come back to reality after the experience. you will be very
confused with how to control this immense knowledge. and don't tell me
you are your master . because we definitely have a few problems as human
beings and it takes a lot of work to rid your self of these problems.
i will try to assist you the best i can.. i must go ill try to update
this note but i might be leaving for a couple days on a vacation. if i
get time ill try to update you.
just check back on this note. i wont tag anyone but i know some people are waiting for more.
sorry this isn't as entertaining as a video i hope to make videos to summarize the next topics. about the myth of the Aryan nation, Hinduism, and the lies about India.
as many people are being fed wrong information. this is where the journey starts to get really puzzling.
take care. and peace and blessings to you and your friends and family.
