Who was the crucified man of Greece?

By Manly P. Hall – The modern world has been misled in its attitude towards the so-called pagan deities, and has come to pythagoras 2view them in a light entirely different from their true characters and meanings. The ridicule and slander heaped by Christendom upon Christna and Bacchus are excellent examples of the persecution of immortal principles by those who have utterly failed to sense the secret meaning of the allegories.

Who was the crucified man of Greece, concerning whom vague rumors have been afloat? Higgins thinks it was Pythagoras, the true story of whose death was suppressed by early Christian authors because it conflicted with their teachings.

Was it true also that the Roman legionaries carried on the field of battle standards upon which were crosses bearing the crucified Sun Man?

There Is A Difference Between Arrogance And Confidence

(By 33rd Degree Freemason – Todd E. Creason) – Arrogance is empty–it’s based on nothing but a bloated sense of self-Arrogance quoteimportance. Confidence on the other hand is based on knowledge, skill, and the willingness to act.

When you are confident, you are free. When you are arrogant, you are a prisoner to yourself.

The Celtic Cross is an Ancient Mathematical Timepiece and Measuring Instrument

“Spiritually and scientifically, the real cross helps uncover hidden truths about world wide systems lost in the mists of Celtic Cross and ManTime.”

(By Crichton E.M. Miller) – “And God said; Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years. And let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” (Genesis 1 verse 14, Holy Bible.)

Here, the bible talks about astrology when it mentions signs and their association with stars to keep time and the calendar required for hunter gatherers and for husbandry.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23.4

Images of Alchemy

Many ancient alchemists had lived at a time when it was forbidden by law to practice alchemy. A law that was punishable by excommunication, torture, and/or death. Since it was so dangerous to think, live and practice this ancient science, many alchemists encoded their teachings into words, symbols and images that were meant to show the hidden mysteries of their art to initiates. Other alchemists were members of various secret societies controlled by the church and kings, where they had agreed under oath to not reveal these mysteries. An oath that was also often punishable by death.

The pictures below represent some of these famous alchemists and their secret art that speaks to us today without any words. See if you can decode them, and make sense of what they were trying to convey in these complex images that are silent, but say so much. Hence, a picture is worth a thousand words…
