“The message that Giordano Bruno presented was directed to the clergy, who had a personal stake not to change. The message of Aquarius Rising is not directed to the priestly caste, for they will not read these words anyway. They are for the weary spiritual traveler who has felt duped all these years but cannot quite put their finger on how the magic trick was done.”

“As we cast our gaze back to the foundations of modern religious faiths, we should consider the times in which they developed. Recall that the printing press was invented in 1436. The literacy rate was likely minuscule and limited to the religious clergy or the wealthy. Considering a historical perspective, literacy levels for the world population have risen drastically in the last couple of centuries. While only 12% of the people in the world could read and write in 1820, today, the share has reversed: only 12% of the world population, in 2020, remained illiterate.”

“Imagine yourself in 1820. How is leadership to communicate with a poor, uneducated population who cannot read nor write and with thus likely limited ability to reason? Now imagine yourself in the year the printing press was invented, 1436. You have the same issues, only much worse.”

“Astro-Theology is an ancient system first discovered by those who raised their eyes to the starry night containing the basic principles from which all doctrines and sacerdotal systems radiate. As Leonardo da Vinci said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” The reader will see that every religion has an astrological foundation. Every science springs from the human mind and those starry realms.”

“Some may say, “How dare you question the Bible. You must be a demon!” This is the reply of those who do not wish to be examined. What they are saying in effect is, “How dare you question my authority!” Know that if someone takes your spirituality, they have taken it with your permission. No one can force you to give your spirituality away.”

“From these things, the sun's path, the planets, the moon, the zodiacal signs, the constellations, the individual stars, the decans, the observation, the mathematics came the myths used to describe nature.”

“The search for truth looks backward and not forward. Be warned, adventuring is addictive. Extraordinary things are waiting to be discovered. As water eventually wears down stone, the glorious turning of Heaven continues, and even the new priestly caste is powerless before it.”

“Early humans looked up to the sky at night the way people today look down on their cell phones. There were few other entertainments then, and there were a lot of questions. By looking up to the sky, whole mythologies were created. The entire system may be designed as the science of cause and effect in general terms.”

“The ancients viewed astrology as a combination of two sciences, astronomy and correspondence. Think of these two as being related like hand and glove. The former dealt with the sun, moon, planets, and stars and confined themselves to their size, distance, and motion. The latter dealt with the spiritual and physical influences of the same bodies.”

“Agriculture soon became the sole employment of a learned class of experts, the first priesthood. They became well acquainted with the significant phenomena of nature. They became the culture experts, the intellectual few who could read the movement of the elements and interpret relationships in nature”

“In addition to this seasonal time-keeping aspect, this early Astro-religion represented God as spirit (non-matter) and the originating Source. The early priests saw things move in cycles. Thus, they believed that Earthly life is not the final stage but one of the movements within a more extensive, repeating cycle that eventually reunites with Source.”

“Over time, when the calendar had been regulated, the majority of people no longer had any need to observe the heavens. The original allegories in everyday use became a fatal obstacle to understanding.”

“The priesthood conceived magic ceremonies to introduce figures or idols to the influences of superior beings, after which they were modeled. In this performance of worship, they were obliged to be dressed in the proper color. In this way, these early astrologers-priests by their practices introduced idolatry”

“It became known that someone good at interpreting the star movements had the gift of Prophecy. At the time, it was understood that this original form of Prophecy did not pertain to future human activity. The Gift of Prophecy pertained to understanding future movements of celestial entities.”

“The ancients viewed the planets and stars as magnetic instruments of the seven creative principles. They saw the Sun as the primary life-giver, the bringer of warmth and deliverance from the cold of the winter. Without the Sun, there would be no life at all.”

“The more perfect or complete the light angle is, the greater its influence exerts upon matter. The symbol of discord is the square. For the ancients, every inharmonious angular ray constitutes a portion of the square or an angle of 90 degrees. The symbol of harmony is the trine or angle of 120 degrees.”

“Here is a more modern approach to thinking about what the Ancients conveyed with their system of light angles. Imagine the square as representing even numbers and the triangle as representing odd numbers. It is hard to draw shapes with one or two sides; instead, they used three and four as iconic representations. The even numbers (square) represent freezing or a type of stasis. The odd numbers (triangle) represent growth or a type of expansion.”

“As one enters Astro-Theology, it is necessary to understand the precession of the equinoxes. The precession of the equinoxes is the motion of the equinoxes along the ecliptic (the plane of Earth's orbit) caused by the cyclic precession of Earth's axis of rotation.”

“This motion is called precession and consists of a cyclic wobbling in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation, with a complete cycle taking 25,920 years to complete as it passes through the twelve signs of the zodiac. The 25,920 year cycle or circle is complete at 360 degrees.”

“The Bible with masculine domination in the Old Testament and feminine submission in the New Testament is a BDSM manual! However, its BDSM lessons have never been properly learned and implemented. Christianity only makes sense in a dungeon and torture chamber. To convert Christians, you need to give them an even more thrilling BDSM experience!”

“...“I’m not being funny. He doesn’t think about me. He’s made someone up, and it’s like he put my skin on her. I’m not like that—not like the made-up one.” “What’s she like?” “Pure!” said Abra. “Just absolutely pure. Nothing but pure—never a bad thing. I’m not like that.” “Nobody is,” said Lee. “He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t even want to know me. He wants that—white—ghost.” Lee rubbled a piece of cracker. “Don’t you like him? You’re pretty young, but I don’t think that makes any difference.” “ ’Course I like him. I’m going to be his wife. But I want him to like me too. And how can he, if he doesn’t know anything about me? I used to think he knew me. Now I’m not sure he ever did”.”

“Nevertheless, I'm not sure I can quite express what is so basic, so right, so utterly human about cooking and eating together. As far back as you can go in history, you find human beings gathering around tables for the purpose of eating together. Offering food and water is an instinctive act of courtesy in almost every culture around the world. In the Bible and Jewish-Christian tradition, breaking bread together is perhaps both the humblest and the most meaningful reflection of unity.”

“The tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is simply God and the Devil recast. Read the Old Testament or the Koran. It’s impossible to tell who is God and who is the Devil. As for the New Testament, that’s about a rebellious, idealistic teenager rebelling against his dominant father, yet desperate to be loved by his father. It ends with the father demanding the son’s suicide (death by Roman) in order for the son to win his love. No wonder poor old JC said, 'My God, my God, what hast thou forsaken me'. He had serious abandonment issues. If God lets down his own son, he sure as hell isn’t going to have your back.”

“Who needs an external God? No one in the Church of the Serpent does. Two can play the Expulsion Game. If God expels us from his Eden, we can expel him from our Eden, because we ourselves are now gods. The Olympian gods replaced the older generation of gods, the Titans. The old gods are always replaced. The Biblical God, too, must be replaced.”

“I can’t stop thinking about Elijah sitting underneath the juniper tree & asking God to die. God sent an angel who says, “This journey is too much for you.” & that he must eat. Elijah does, then he rests. He wakes up still feeling hopeless, & the angel repeats himself. It took Elijah longer than he wanted to get better. Sometimes we want to move but we can’t. Sometimes the journey is too much. It is not a sin to understand your limitations. Start there, get stronger, then get up.”

“Sometimes I’m Martha in the kitchen. I’m frustrated & bitter. I’m angry. I’m comparing. I’m focused on details, wondering why Jesus & others are not. But I need to always be Mary. I must always be sitting at Jesus’s feet. Listening. Listening. Listening. The details are not my job. Preparation is not the point. Jesus is always in my home. So I must always be sitting with Him, ready to hear every word.”

“I still haven’t had the courage to ask him whether the Bible glorified slavery, but thinking about the Bible and slavery, if I have to be honest with myself, has not been good for my mental health, and the most psychologically logical thing to do would probably be to prevent or eliminate what is being detrimental to my mental health. Still, as a Christian, I know I was raised to be softer on the Bible than I would be if I simply stayed true purely to my ideals (which could either have subscribed to atheism or agnosticism if I hadn’t been raised to be a Christian). Still, there were times when I used my dedication and faith to the Bible in a way that has shown that the Bible is not as fatalistic, science-hating, and misogynistic as it appears to be…”

“It follows if sexual naiveté and inexperience is virtuous, being apt at—or even having more than the most rudimentary knowledge of—sex is indicative of being a bad Christian. In this respect, ignorance and inability are honorable traits as opposed to easily remedied shortcomings but, then again, Christianity’s foundation rests on the precept that knowledge is the first, i.e., Original, and foremost wrong, i.e., Sin.”

“So instead we continue our backward journey through time into the high Middle Ages of the thirteenth century. At one time thought of as an intellectual backwater of history, when the darkness of mysticism, magic and astrology spent centuries stifling the emergence of true scientific enquiry, it is now increasingly seen as the nursey of Renaissance thought, a bridge from the creative thinking of the ancients to science in its modern form.”

“A tiny 'bubble' of the new created world order nucleates at the first Easter. But it does not sweep all nature before it in passivity. Instead there is an implicit invitation to participate in the coming into being of renewed creation. The gospel message contains the same beckoning finger that was extended to Job on his ash heap, extending an invitation to explore the possibilities of a new nature.”

“The 'ministry of reconciliation' is a stunningly brief encapsulation of the biblical story of the purpose to which God calls people. I do not know a better three-word definition of Christianity, and it does very well as an entry point for Old Testament temple-based Judaism as well. It acknowledges that there is work to do: relationships on all scales are damaged. Nation against nation, communities against communities, families, marriages, even the vital self-worth that describes people's relationship with themselves is often damaged.”

“Perhaps we find it easy to sympathize with leaders who, in the face of unsustainable expectations, step outside their legitimate authority to ‘get the job done’. But what happens in the process is that they discover they can exercise power that isn’t rightfully theirs, and the church won’t question it but rather allows them to act unaccountably. The unspoken understanding is that the minister is the CEO, so is probably authorized to do whatever they like. This is a first step towards people looking to the minister rather than to Jesus.”

“There is a big difference between somebody who knows the Bible and somebody who knows the Author of the Bible. There is a big difference between somebody who studies the Bible for theological purposes and somebody who studies the Bible because he loves God.”

“Our kids learn about life and the world through exposure. Little people love what their adults love. When you introduce your small kids to Scripture from and early age, with enthusiasm, they will naturally want to know more about the wonderful book you delight in, the Jesus you adore, and the salvation in Christ that you treasure.”
