THE LOST WISDOM
The Secrets of Life contained in this work have been culled with great cam from the fragments of ancient philosophy that escaped the destructive hands of the church fathers that founded Roman Catholicism in the fourth century.
The struggle for power between the priesthood and the philosophers had grown so fierce by the time Constantine ascended the throne of the Caesars in the early part of the fourth century that he was constrained to take drastic action to end the strife aid preserve his empire.
To that end he called what is known as the First Council of Nicea. This was in the year 325 A.D.
In that convention the battle was fought to a finish, with his victory going to the priesthood and the Roman State Church was founded.
At the conclusion of the convention, Constantine issued an edict that put the priesthood in power and outlawed the philosophers and their work. The Secrets of Life taught by the philosophers were banished from the Empire, and the philosophers were driven into exile.
So far as the masses were concerned, that was the end of the Ancient Wisdom.
Then came the struggle to convert the people to the New Religion and the making of a Bible to back up the claims of the New Religion.
In this Bible the masses were given a God‑man born of a virgin, a Savior,
a Son of a mythical God. His life was presented as the acme of ideal perfection, and his power was derived directly from Divinity itself. Then he "died an the cross" to save the sinners from the just penalty of their evil transgressions.
The church fathers knew the stories of Buddha and his incarnations; the myth of Krishna, most popular of the Hindu gods, usually held to be the eighth incarnation of the god Vishu; the illustrious record of Apollonius, whom the people of Asia Minor worshipped as a god; the sacred legends of Osiris, the god and goddess of Egypt.
It was easy to combine all this in the New Testament gospels and to give the world a perfect character in the form of Jesus and, in his name,' to unite the religious worship of all. the people of the Roman Empire.
And the deceived world has worshipped for centuries at the shrines of a religion that was fabricated by the priesthood from the myths of antiquity.
‑ Little did the Greeks and Romans dream that they and their children, for fifteen hundred years, were fated to see rivers reddened with their blood because of that Jesus, whom they had mocked and ridiculed, while their proud Empire would crumble into darkness as the Roman Hierarchy me in power and with Bible in one hand and bloody sword in the other, gradually clamped its galling yoke upon the countries controlled by Rome.
SUMMARY
1. The New Religion formulated by the priesthood of Rome in the fourth century is a myth.
2. That religious system was fabricated from the legends of the gods of India, Egypt, Greece, and Asia Minor.
3. The story of Jesus was exerted from the writings of Damis concerning his master Apollonius, often called Apollo, or the God of the Sun.
4. Damis was a Greek historian of Assyrian birth who lived and wrote in the first century A.D., and he is mentioned twice in the New Testament‑Col. 4:14 and 2 Tim. 4:10.
And that, in a few worlds, is the story of how Christianity was born and Europe plunged into darkness and how the Western World lost The Wisdom of the Ancient Masters.
A NEW UNIVERSE
One who reads this work with understanding has seen a new heaven and a new earth; for the heaven and the earth of the church have vanished along with the sea of illusion.
That man knows he is the Holy City coming dam from the sky‑from the God in the Silver Cord‑made ready as a bride bedecked for her husband.
And for that am the re shall I be no more death; for the former things.
taught by schools, colleges, and the church have passed away.‑Rev. 21:1‑4.
