Coming, as it does, almost midway between the traditional settings of both Western and Orthodox Christianity of the original Christmas story, this is as good a time as it gets to raise the subject of the birth of the central figure of that religion.
It is difficult to know just how many modern day humans are aware that the traditional conceptual presentation of the birth of the man most commonly known as Jesus and taken as being the foundation stone or central figure of Christianity, is actually a distortion of truth. It is also difficult to know just when that distortion of the truth came about. I doubt that would have been in Jesus’ lifetime or even during the early centuries of the current era. People, local people at least and regional people, would have known the implausability of the commonly held image of the arrival and early life of Jesus.
We actually know very little of that event, or even of the whole life of the figure. A life which is punctuated by large gaps of time, in relation to which little or nothing is known. The Bible does not help here, with four different accounts or non-accounts of that birth and many other details of the man’s life. But we do know some things, from historical records.
To save me a lot of time, I recommend that you watch this video to raise your awareness of the facts. For this purpose you can skip the first 15 minutes or so (15.39 precisely) to where the traditional Christmas card stable image appears. The first 3.40 minutes of that 15 is taken up with mostly nonsense about the so-called ‘star of Bethlehem’ and suggests that phenomenon may have been the planet Nibiru, a suggestion that would be quite impossible as far as I am concerned. My current understanding is that planet would have been further away from the Earth than the Sun at the time (I will explain that some other time). I will talk about the second part of the video down below.
OK, enough of Christmas. Now, the second part of the video above – from roughly the 3.40 to 15.39 time marks – is a very reasonable (I recommend it) account by the late Laurence Gardner, actually, Sir Laurence – a man eminently versed in the subject matter (he passed from this world in 2010) – of the so-called ‘monotheistic’ basis of the three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and their relationship to the ancient gods. I have (and have read) all Gardners several books on the ancient bloodlines from the earliest ‘gods’ down to modern times – including the part of Jesus in that flow.
These three monotheistic religions declare the existence of only one God, variously named. Actually I don’t know too much about Islam, but I understand it is the case that they only recognise Allah as the sole divinity. But the other two, and perhaps even Islam, are actually duotheistic in nature. Allah being the other side of the duotheistic monopoly, so brutally played down by Christians and Jews.
I have to stop myself here as my instinctual drives want me to try to explain what comes next, but I should leave that to Sir Laurence through direct quotes from his books, displayed on your screen. He does it much better than I could. This is amazing revelatory stuff, and much more interesting than Christmas lore – as important as that may be. It may blow your socks off and you may need to review the material several times to get the full flavour. I leave that for you to determine. You are likely to require far more information in order to grasp the magnitude of this, but it is a start and the kernel of an idea I want to implant here.
