The more you begin to investigate,
what we think we understand, where we came from,
what we think we're doing,
the more you begin to see we've been lied to.
We've been lied to by every institution.
What makes you think for one minute
that the religious institution is the only
one that has never been touched.
The religious institutions of this world
are at the bottom of the dirt.
The religious institutions in this world are
put there by the same people who gave you
your government, your corrupt education,
who set up your international banking cartels.
Because our masters don't give a damn
about you or your family.
All they care about is what they have always cared about
and that's controlling the whole damn world.
We have been misled away from the true
and divine presence in the universe
that men have called 'God'.
I don't know what God is but I know what he isn't.
And unless and until you are prepared
to look at the whole truth
wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to,
if you want to look the other way,
or if you want to play favourites
then somewhere along the line you're gonna find out
you're messing with the divine justice.
The more you educate yourself, the more you understand
where things come from - the more obvious things become
and you begin to see lies everywhere.
You have to know the truth
and seek the truth
and the truth will set you free.
...'cause I gotta tell you the truth folks,
I gotta tell you the truth.
When it come to bullshit,
big-time-major-league bullshit,
you have to stand in awe of the all time champion
of false promises and exaggerated claims -
religion.
Think about it!
Religion has actually convinced people
that there's an invisible man, living in the sky
who watches everything you do,
And the invisible man has a special list
of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things,
he has a special place
full of fire and smoke
and burning and torture and anguish
where he will send you to live and suffer
and burn and choke and scream and cry
for ever and ever till the end of time.
But he loves you!
He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.
He's all powerful, all perfect,
all knowing and all wise.
Somehow - just can't handle money!
Religion takes in billions of dollars,
they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more.
Now, you talk about a good bullshit story!
Holy sh*t!
This is the Sun.
As far back as 10.000 BC
history is abundant with carvings and writings
reflecting people's respect and adoration for this object
And it is simple to understand why
as every morning the Sun would rise
bringing vision, warmth and security
saving man from the cold, blind,
predator filled darkness of night.
Without it, the cultures understood,
the life on the planet would not survive.
These realities make the Sun
the most adored object of all time.
Likewise, they were also very aware of the stars.
The tracking of the stars allowed them to
recognize and anticipate events
which occurred of a long period's of time,
such as eclipses and full moons.
They in turn catalogued celestial groups
in what we know today as constellations.
This is the cross of the zodiac,
one of the oldest conceptual images in human history.
It reflects the Sun as it figuratively passes through
the 12 major constellations over the course of a year.
It also reflects the 12 months of the year,
the four seasons, and the solstices and equinoxes.
The term zodiac relates to the fact
that constellations were anthropomorphised
or personified as figures or animals.
In other words, the early civilizations
did not just follow the Sun and stars,
they personified them with elaborate myths
involving their movements and relationships.
The Sun, with its life giving and saving qualities,
was personified as a representative of
God's Sun. The light of the world.
Likewise, the 12 constellations represented
the places of travel for God's Sun.
And they were identified by names,
usually representing elements of nature
that happened during that period of time.
For example, Aquarius - the water bearer,
This is Horus.
He is the Sun God of Egypt of around 3000 BC.
He is the Sun anthropomorphised in his life as a series
of allegorical myths involving Sun's movement in the sky.
From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt
we know much about the solar messiah.
For instance, Horus meaning Sun or the light,
And Set was the personification
of the darkness or night.
And metaphorically speaking, every morning
Horus would win the battle against Set
while in the evening Set would conquer Horus
and send him into the underworld.
It's important to know that dark versus light,
or good versus evil,
is one of the most ubiquitous
mythological dualities ever known
and it's still expressed on many levels to this day.
Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows:
Horus was born on December 25th,
of a virgin Isis Mary.
His birth was accompanied by a star in the east
which in turn three kings followed
to locate and adorn a newborn saviour.
At the age of 12 he was a prodigal child teacher.
At the age of 30 he was baptized by a figure known as Anap
and thus began his ministry.
Horus had 12 disciples he travelled about with,
performing miracles such as healing the sick
and walking on water.
Horus was known by many gestural names
such as "The Truth", "The Light"
"God's Anointed Son", "The Good Shepherd",
"The Lamb of God" and many others.
After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified,
buried for three days and thus resurrected.
These atributes of Horus, whether original or not,
seem to permeate many cultures of the world
for many other gods have found to have
the same general mythological structure.
Attis of Phrygia,
born of a virgin Nana on December 25th.
Crucified, placed in a tomb
and after three days was resurrected.
Krishna of India, born of a virgin Devaki
with a star in the east signaling his coming.
He performed miracles with his disciples
and upon his death was resurrected.
Dionysus of Greece,
born of a virgin on December 25th,
was a travelling teacher who performed miracles
such as turning water into wine.
He was referred to as "The King of Kings",
"God's only begotten Son", "The Alpha and Omega" and many others.
And upon his death he was resurrected.
Mithra of Persia,
born of a virgin on December 25th.
He had 12 disciples and performed miracles.
And upon his death was buried for three days
and thus resurrected.
He was also referred to as "The Truth",
"The Light" and many others.
Interestingly,
the sacred day of worship of Mithra was Sunday.
