The Family of the Caesars From the City of Caere in Crete and Italy

The family of the Juli who were also known by the given name of the Caesars in ancient Rome had produced some of the most powerful people of the 6th Age. In fact, they were esteemed as Gods and had changed time, calendars and they in which the people under the rule of the Roman Empire would be ruled for generations to come. A family that would help build Rome into a world-wide Empire, and also conquer much of the world.

The history surrounding the family of the Caesars has been written about by many of the world’s best historians, and scholars over the last 2,000 years. But in all these books, articles and movies that tell of their history, they still do not indicate the city or cities where the first family of the Caesars had come from. In the course of my own research into the history of this family, I have found an ancient connection to a couple of cities that were once called Caere (Cere). It was in the cities of Caere where a people called the Cereithes had lived, and whose name may have also helped form the English word we know of today as Christian.

The original home and birthplace of the name of the Caesars I have found to be composed of two cities bearing the same name of Caere (Cere). This name of Caere is derived from the Greek word ‘Ares’ who the Romans identified this god as their God of war, Mars. He is represented as the son of Zeus (Jupiter) and Hera (Venus). (Homer Illiad v. 893, &c.; Hes. 921; Apollod. i. 3. § 1.) The God of the Roman Empire was Jove (Jupiter) who was known as Zeus in Greece and the Emperor became a son of Zeus who ruled by religion and war with the Roman Emperor as the God of War and Pontifex Maximus of religion.

Virgil had written this poem about Augustus and his family of the Caesars:

Turn, turn thine eyesIsee here thy race divine,
Behold thy own imperial Roman line:
Caesar, with all the Julian name survey;
See where the glorious ranks ascend to-day !—
This—this is he!—the chief so long foretold
To bless the land where Saturn ruled of old,
And give the Lernean realms a second age of gold!
The promised prince, Augustus the divine,
Of Caesar’s race, and Jove’s immortal line.

It was Augustus Caesar who was the race of Jupiter who had addressed to the gods Mars and Venus, progenitors of the Roman people (and patrons of Ovid’s poetry).

 

WHERE WAS THE HOMELAND AND CITIES OF THE CAESARS?

The city of Caere that may be the first original homeland which would be in ancient Greece on the island of Crete, and the other would be the second sister city that had come later to Italy. The original first city of Caere (Cere or Caeratus) was in ancient Greece on the Holy Island of Crete. A city we know of today as Knossus (Cnossus, Gnossus). A city I like to call the first true home to Gnosis and the Gnostics because after all, this is where we get the word we today call Gnosis. In historical times, this was the most powerful city in the world. The ancient city of Caere had got its name from a small river that had flowed beneath its walls called “Caeratus.” This river had run along side another river named Triton which took its name from the Son of Neptune. Mythological gods who all were born on Crete. An island known by many names.

This connection I have made between the Caesars and Crete makes more sense when you research Augustus Caesar’s grandfather, Atius Balbus who I believe was originally from Crete or it was simply his ancesteral homeland. Atius was said to be born in 100 BC in Roma, Italy, and later died along with his many ancestors who are buried on the Sacred Mountain of the Stone on the Holy Island of Crete.

The great 1st century geographer and historian, Strabo had written this about the city of Caere and river on the island of Crete;

There are several cities in Crete, but the greatest and most famous are three: Cnossus, Gortyna and Cydonia. The praises of Cnossus are p129hymned above the rest both by Homer, who calls it “great” and “the kingdom of Minos,”and by the later poets.

In earlier times Cnossus was called Caeratus, bearing the same name as the river which flows past it. According to history, Minos was an excellent law‑giver, and also the first to gain the mastery of the sea; and he divided the island into three parts and founded a city in each part, Cnossus in the opposite the Peloponnesus. And it, too lies to the north. As Ephorus p131states, Minos was an emulator of a certain Rhadamanthys of early times, a man most just and bearing the same name as Minos’s brother, who is reputed to have been the first to civilise the island by establishing laws and by uniting cities under one city as metropolis by setting up constitutions, alleging that he brought from Zeus the several decrees which he promulgated.

Strabo goes on to allude to his ancestral bonds to Crete and the city of Gnossus by saying he himself was not an alien to these lands, but how by fate and war, he ultimately had to sever his connections to the island. A law that still stands to this day. Strabo had said; “The Caerites were held in much repute among the Hellenes for their bravery and integrity, and because, powerful though they were, they abstained from robbery.”

An interesting note about me is that I had my DNA tested a few years ago revealing I’m a Greek Hellene (Phoenician) on my father’s side, and I also feel connected to the family of the Caesars. An internal Gnosis of past knowledge that I have been verifying for several years now. Hence, as Plato had said, “All learning is remembering.”

According to Dionysius, the Romans were first engaged in hostilities with Caere under the reign of Tarquin the Elder, and subsequently under Servius Tullius, by whom a treaty was concluded between the two states. (III. 28.) Long after, when Rome had been taken by the Gauls, the Caerites rendered that city an important service by receiving their priests and vestals, and defeating the Gauls on their return through the Sabine country; on which occasion they recovered the gold with which Rome is said to have purchased its liberation n. In return for this assistance, the Romans requested the Caerites inadequately, as Strabo seems to hint, by declaring them the public guests of Rome, and admitting them, though not in full, to the rights enjoyed .by her citizens0. (Cf. Liv. V. 40. and 50. Val. Max. I.1. Aul. Gell. XVI. 13.)

Virgil, one of Rome’s greatest poets in the time of Julius Caesar had written this poem that I believe connects the Caesars to this town and also shows the nature of their roles as shepherds to their people;

“Not far from hence there stands a hilly town,
Of ancient building and of high renown,
Torn from the Tuscans by the Lydian race,
Who gave the name of Care to the place,
Once Agyllina called.”

“A greenwood shade, for long religion known,
Stands by the streams, that wash the Tuscan town,
Encompassed round with gloomy hills above,
Which add a holy horror to the grove:
The first inhabitants, of Grecian blood,
That sacred forest to Sylvanus vowed,
The guardian of their flocks and fields,—they pay
Their due devotions on his annual day.”

THE CAESARS FROM CAERE IN ITALY

In Italy, there was a city also called Caerite cera Digni,’] Caere (Cer- vetri) was a very ancient town of Etruria, about twenty-seven miles north of Rome. was a very ancient town of Etruria, about twenty-seven miles north of Rome. The remains of Caere are still to be traced about four miles from the sea, on a spot known to the people of the country by the name of Cerveteri. Aisium. It was called by the Greeks ‘AyuXXa. About A.u.c. 400, the people of Tarquinii having taken up arms against the Romans, the Caerites were accused of aiding them, and were threatened with punishment, but having asked pardon they obtained it at the expense of half their territory. The Romans, out of gratitude, are said to have conferred upon the Caerites the Roman franchise without the suffragium. The Caerites appear to have been the first body of Roman citizens who did not enjoy the sufferage. ; or on the retirement of the Gauls before the destruction of Rome, on which occasion they rendered important service.(3) According to Dionysins, the Caerites were engaged in war against the Romans under the elder Tarquin, who defeated them in a battle and laid waste their territory;

As it is said in John 19:15; “But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.” “They elected Caesar to be their king; by Caesar they were destroyed” (Lampe). Their theocracy fell by their mad rage against the perfect embodiment of the highest righteousness and purest love. “The kingdom of God, by the confession of its rulers, has become the kingdom of this world.”

Prominent Kabbalist: The Russian Invasion of Crimea is a sign of Impending Jewish Redemption

(SOURCE: rucho shel mashiach) – On Purim (Monday March 17th), Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch, Head of the Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem, allowed a secret to slip out. He peeled back the curtain and offered a peek into a tradition handed down from his grandfather, the Vilna Gaon, a prominent 18th-century Kabbalist:

“Even though I am careful not to share the mysteries, I feel that this is something I am permitted to reveal..This was something Rabbi Isaac had received directly from those who heard it from the mouth of the Vilna Gaon, who said, shortly before his passing:

“’When you hear that the Russians have invaded Crimea, you will know that the bells of Redemption have begun to ring. When you hear that the Russians have reached Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey, as it is called today), you can already don Sabbath clothes and await the appearance of Moshiach.’

“Last week the Russians invaded Crimea and the world slept… According to our tradition from the Vilna Gaon, this is a sign of impending redemption … Perhaps what the Gaon meant by ‘bells of the redemption’ is like a bell that signals the arrival of someone or something.”

Adapted for easier understanding for readers of all level of familiarity with the tradition from the presentation and translation of the teaching in English by Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz

An article in Hebrew on the Purim sermon can be found here.

Update: The version recorded in the writings of the Vilna Gaon’s students’ is as follows:

When the Russian ships cross the Dardanelles, it is already time to don Sabbath garments  


היא כי כאשר יעברו ציים רוסיים במיצרי הדרדנלים, אפשר כבר ללבוש בגדי שבת…

Symbol of the Trident

Three brethren are we and sons of Kronos, whom Rhea bare: Zeus and myself, and Hades is the third, the ruler of the folk in the neptune on hippocampusunderworld. – Poseidon says in Homer’s Iliad (xv)

The symbol of the 3 forked Trident had originated in ancient Greek mythology where it was first applied as the symbol of Neptune who is also known as Poseidon. Neptune (Poseidon) is known as the god of the sea who travels the world with his war chariot or seahorses, and he holds sovereign sway over the world armed with his three-forked trident. With his mighty trident, he had caused earthquakes and deluges and holds a 3-fold power over heaven, the earth, and hell. (more…)

Dr. Conrad Murray: Freemason Or Not?

(Source: By Midnight Freemasons Contributor Todd E. Creason, 33°) – On June 25th, 2009, the world received some shocking Conrad  Murray Freemasonnews–Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop” was dead at the age of fifty.  Once the shock of the news subsided, what the world wanted to know was why and how the pop star came to such an untimely end.  And all eyes began to focus on Michael Jackson’s personal physician–Dr. Conrad Murray.  Without question, Michael Jackson was using some very powerful drugs, including the surgical anesthetic propofol administered by Murray.  Murray ultimately was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison–he was released after serving two.

During the trial, the above photo was released by Murray’s attorney, and the press went wild with the news that Murray was a Freemason.  According to the information provided, Murray is the Grand Medical Director of the United Most Worshipful Scottish Rite Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F.&A.M.

Michael Jackson
1958 – 2009

This evidence satisfied the press of his Masonic credentials, and the story was repeated over and over again that Murray is a Freemason.  But most Masons will see the problem almost immediately with both his title and the Masonic organization he belongs to. There is simply no such title as “Grand Medical Director.”

But that’s not all . . . The United Most Worshipful Scottish Rite Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M. is bogus, too–it is not recognized by any official Masonic body and isn’t associated with any Grand Lodge of Freemasons.  It is certainly not affiliated with the Grand Lodge of Texas.  It is not affiliated with the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas.  And it is unknown to the Scottish Rite of Texas.

The United Most Worshipful Scottish Rite Grand Lodge of Texas< is one of many phony Masonic organizations that are out there today (or what Masons would call clandestine organizations).

So back to the original question.  Is Dr. Conrad Murray a Freemason?

No, he is not.

Seraphim: The Burning Angels of the Serpent

“These causes of our wickedness are derived from our parents, and from our constitutions, rather than from ourselves; for while seraphim - the-madonna-della-vallicellawe recoil from the works of our ancestors they are not idle.” – Plato

A spiritual battle has been fought on the earth and in the heavens for thousands of years. Many of us angels, good and bad who are living today, are born ignorant of this fierce war for our souls. Some of us will lose by default from our simple lack of knowledge, thus becoming ignorant tools used as spiritual weapons by either side. Other people will bare the sins of their parents and ancestors who had fallen like Lucifer, as they try to right the wrongs  in order to ascend to the light.

To understand this cosmic war, you must first try to comprehend the occult (hidden) nature and esoteric (secret) doctrines that govern it. Part of this understanding comes from knowledge of who you are, who your ancestors were, and the hierarchy of angels that hold government on the AS ABOVE, who thus direct the affairs of humans on the SO BELOW.

THE BURNING SERPENT ANGELS OF FIRE WHO GOVERN THE WORLD

Some of these angels on high who govern on low here on earth are known biblically as the “Seraphs or the Seraphim”. They are six-winged beings that fly around the Throne of God crying “holy, holy, holy.” The seraphs hold 5th rank of ten in the Jewish angelic hierarchy and the highest rank in the Christian angelic hierarchy of angels that govern this current world. The various spellings of the Hebrew name Seraphs are the Greek Hellenized version of the Egyptian Osiris-Apis which is spelled Serapis, Sarapis (Σάραπις, Dorian Greek), Sor-apis (Σέραπις, Attic/Ionian Greek), Serapin (Greek Ὄφις), and the name ‘Seraphim’ being the plural form.

Seraphim 2These names all have similar meanings such as “the burning ones, burning spirits, fiery angels or burning angels.” The meaning of the name Seraph is also synonymous, with serpent and seraphim being the plural for serpents. They are the serpents who bit the children of Israel in the wilderness. Doctors and Scholars of the Jewish Church such as Rabbi Bechai had said this about the serpent who tempts Eve in Genesis (Gen. iii. 14); “This is the secret (or mystery) of the holy language, that a serpent is called saraph, as an angel is called saraph;” and ” hence the Scriptures called serpents seraphim (Numb. xxi. 6—8), because they were the offspring of this old saraph.”

These burning angels who are also known as serpents, are also mentioned as celestial beings in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Revelation. They are the fiery angels burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God as spoken of in Revelation 4:5 – “And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”

In the Old Testament, the Prince of the Seraphim is named Beelzebub, and who holds office just below Lucifer who is King. In the New Testament and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Archangel St Michael is placed over all the Angels as Prince of the Seraphim. But Christ is the head of all principalities and powers. (Col. ii. 10.)

The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus had said that Serapis is not only the same as the Egyptian Osiris, and Hammon, but also the same as the Greek Dionysus, Jupiter, Pan, and Pluto. Plutarch had said the earlier Serapis was none other than Osiris himself. (Plut.,de Sid., c. 28.). He also informs us that it was the Greco-Egyptain Pharoah, Ptolemy I who had introduced Serapis, or serpent worship from Sinope in Asia Minor to the East. It was at this time when Serapis had taken the place of all the Gods as the supreme deity during reign of the Ptolemy Pharaohs.  Ptolemy I was the ruler of Egypt from 323–283 BC and he was also the founder of both the Ptolemaic Kingdom, and the Ptolemaic Dynasty. In the year 305 BC he took the title of pharaoh.

Ptolemy I was also known as Ptolemy Soter. The meaning of the name Soter is savior. Hence, Ptolemy I was known as the Soter or savior of the East. Later during the reign of the Romans, and shortly after the death of Julius Caesar who was known in Rome as a God, his son Octavian Caesar would take the venerable name of Augustus to become their savior with his official anointing as both Pontifex Maximus and savior under PAX RAMONA. Thus becoming the first Vicar of Christ, cornerstone of the Catholic Church, and Christened as their savior of this new age under the New Testament (New Law). A moment in time, officially ending the reign of the Greco-Egyptian Ptolemaic empire, their Egyptian calendar, and the old Testament (Old Law). The meaning of the name Christ simple means anointed, and is the equivalent of the Hebrew word Messiah.

Manes was the founder of the Gnostic religion of the 3rd-4th centuries A.D., known as Manichaeism. He had taught his followers serpent worship under the name of early Christianity. He had said; ” Christ was an incarnation of the Great Serpent, who glided over the cradle of the Virgin Mary, when she was asleep, at the age of a year and a half.”

Tau cross st francisThe Seraphim are the intellectual angels with a divine consciousness, who are burning up of self-awareness that accompanies deep spiritual comprehension of divine reality. Some of these angels include Saint Michael, Gabriel, and St. Francis who was the founder of the Cordeliers and the Franciscans. He was known as the Seraphic Father and Seraphic Saint, for he was on fire for the Lord. In 1224, St. Francis had received the stigmata, making him the first recorded person to bear the wounds of Christ’s Passion. A companion of Francis, Brother Leo had left us the first definite account of the phenomenon of stigmata.”Suddenly he saw a vision of a seraph, a six-winged angel on a cross. This angel gave him the gift of the five wounds of Christ.”

The 15th century Italian medieval scholastic theologian and philosopher, St. Bonaventure is called the Seraphic Doctor for his love and zeal of St Francis. Our current Pope had taken his name after the Seraphic Saint Francis, and his actions as the Vicar of Christ prove his fiery zeal for the Lord. In the year since he has become Pontifex Maximus, he has more than lived up to his chosen name.

With the symbol of Jesus, St Mark informs us, “With the form of a serpent, He kills the serpent, for the serpent made out of the rod swallowed up the other serpents.”  Hence, “The power of the serpent of Egypt was broken on the cross.” – Justin Martyr

An angel brought supernatural food to Elijah. 1 Kings xix. 5.

Angels in the form of fiery horses and chariots attended Elijah at his ascension. 2 Kings ii. 11.

Angels as fiery horses and chariots encamped around Elisha in the mount. 2 Kings vi. 17.

Isaiah had a vision of the Seraphim. Isa. vi. 2.

Ezekiel had a vision of the Cherubim. Ezek. x. 3.

An angel was the agent of deliverance to the three holy children in the burning fiery furnace. Dan. iii. 28.

The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. – Isaiah 4:4

Saint Paul in Corinthians had said; “Satan is transformed into an angel of light.” (2 Cor. xi. 14)
