Dear MH,
You should read the book The Jesus Mysteries by
Gandy, and Freke which reveals that the New Testaments
stories are directly taken from certain legends about
Dionysius, and Osiris. In other words, Jesus =
Dionysius/Osiris. It is quite incredible but it is
backed up with a large amount of scholarly evidence.
Eco:
Robert, the latest book by Freke and Gandy is "The
Laughing Jesus". I must agree with you that they do
back up their findings with solid and factual evidence.
Much of the Gnostic findings have been taken from the
Nag Hammadi books which for different reasons were
suppressed after their findings. They tell a much
different tale than what the Bible tells as do the Dead
Sea Scrolls which the Catholic Church has also tried
to suppress. This is one of the reasons I have written
several times that the Vatican needs to open up for
scrutiny the vast amount of documents hidden away in
their vaults.
Robert:
As for John Bunzl (whom I actually met) I feel you are
being somewhat unfair. He is a businessman but I am
sure he is not in the same ranks of the Richard
Bransons, and George Soross of the world. I feel you
are doing him something of an injustice by claiming
that he is part of an elite.
Eco: Robert, it was John Bunzl himself who said he
was a member of the elite which gave him certain
privileges to meetings, etc., such as the WTO.
Early on, when he first wrote the draft for the Simultaneous
Policy, I was on the SP list and received several copies
of the draft. Initially I felt it was a good idea; however,
as I began to read it more thoroughly, I had questions
which I brought up on the list -- but I could never get any
straight answers. When I kept bringing up these questions,
for which there were no answers, it became quite
embarrassing to Bunzl since he was heavily recruiting for SP,
and new members were taking part in the discussions. John
eventually threw me off the list because of this. I have tried
time and again to engage him in discussion, but he always
wiggles out of it.
One of the main reasons I don't like SP is that it proposes
to solve the problem politically and I find politics more the
problem and having little, if any, ability to solve anything.
Robert:
Moreover, I do think your comments are as usual
somewhat naive, and unrealistic. You cannot fight the
banks, or the corporations (unless you had massive
public support which is unlikely in extremis as most
of us are too apathetic, complacent, and useless when
it comes to such vital matters) as they have to be
somehow reformed in some other way...
It does not matter whether a plutocracies exist, or
not. What matters is whether we can eradicate the
injustices of the world. The elite can remain the
elite if they are willing to go along with this. In
TFE this is possible, and more importantly there may
well be little time to change things for the good
unless we join forces in reforming the banks, and
corporations in such a way that they would themselves
benefit. More importantly, global justice, and
sustainability would be promoted at the sametime.
need to get off our moral hobby horse, and think more
REALISTICALLY, AND YET, DIFFERENTLY..
Eco: Robert, I have been reading and researching for
almost 20 years now the Global Monetocracy System
and those who have controlled it down through the ages.
By the GMS, I am talking about those who control the
very financial system and the banks you speak of. And
in the process have read almost 1,000 books on this and
related subjects -- related subjects meaning mostly history
beginning from the Neolithic Age to the present. And
history means also religion and the mythology surrounding
it and how it affected the GMS.
And, I don't believe most people know how closely related
are religion and the GMS.
One of the reasons I am glad to see books like The Jesus
Mysteries and The Laughing Jesus being written and
getting wide dissemination by Gnostics, whose knowledge
has been suppressed for quite some time now, is that
more and more people are beginning to tire of "faith-based
religious dogma" and are demanding to know the truth. With
the advent of the Internet, so much factual information has
reached the general public that it is no longer possible to
keep the truth from the masses as has been possible in the
past.
It is also great to see the effort that is being made by
scholastic groups such as that of the online History List,
a group of history professors world wide who have
grouped together and are digging into past history in an
attempt to determine what is truth and what is fiction created
by those who are desirous of controlling the world for their own
benefit.
I do believe that the recent vote by the American public
was a reflection of a new awareness of how dangerous
faith-based dogma can be as demonstrated by
faith-based theologians and their followers who practice
a fundamentalist form of Christianity based more on the
Pauline doctrine than on true Christianity.
Dr. Deepak Chopra said something not long ago which I
feel is very pertinent today: He wrote that if religion were
the answer we would not be sufferering the problems we
have today. I think we all need to get really honest with
ourselves and begin to ask how much of the grief and
sufferering in the world has been caused by religion. And
what does this say about the true message of early
Christianity as believed by the Pagans.
What we know today is that going back to the Neolithic
Age, there existed a peaceful and matriachial-based
society which revered the goddess and the earth
as the givers of life. But this does not mean that women
ruled -- these were partnership-based societies where
men and women were considered equal. This was
a time before the advent of the monotheistic God and his
son Jesus came into being and from which times violent
wars have been fought as the dominator paradigm became
prevalent throughout the world.
You know there are millions and millions of us who do not
believe in Jesus or in the concept of God as espoused by
Western belief systems. And I know more and more people
who are turning toward Buddhism as The Dalai Lama
walks the path of peace and epitomizes that which so many
desire,yet their form of religion does not bring them.
It is time for some practical thinking and some deep soul
searching IMHO.
Also, I have previously written re: the many-headed hydra system
that the GMS has set up which gives them virtual control at this
time. Where I feel you make your mistake, Robert, is in thinking that
the GMS cares about the people in the system and can be prevailed
upon to change. Again, with such an excess of people in the world
and available for labor, and with so much technology available to
take the place of human labor, we-the-people are nothing more than
chess pieces in a game -- we have become "disposable" items in
the system. We are Orwell's characters in his novel.
And while there are some people in the system who do care,
they too have become victims of the system. And, like the rest of
us if they don't go along with what's going on, then they too are
disposed of. Look at how many assassinations have occurred
beginning with John F. Kennedy and now getting down into the staff
level where hundreds are "disappeared" annually.
While I believe that "presence" can break through many walls, this
one appears to be formidable -- there are not yet enough of us to
exert our mind power and we need to gather strength -- but neither
is time on our side. And, although I do believe that many lives will
be lost, but global climate change will be our best friend. Can it
be any worse than the suffering of those involved in war, the
starvation in so many countries, the Aid's epidemic? Think about
it.

Marguerite -
I think your history and your theology are
very much out to lunch, but otherwise,
I agree with your sentiments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End Martin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
eco:
Martin, may I suggest to you that much of history has
been purposely distorted and billions of people taken
in by the propaganda disseminated not only by our
religious institutions but also by our educational
system so as to maintain control over the human mind.
And, of late, the media has been taken in by this need
to distort as well -- mainly due to money having become
our God.
One of the reasons I am so committed to a journalistic
investigation of the biology of human consciousness
is that with the sophisticated instruments we have today
which can measure human energy vibrations, the truth is
becoming more difficult to distort.
